I need to make a list of which Bluey Episodes would make which twst boy SOB uncontrollably
I think I'm funny
so many mental health issues these days are due to the fact that we no longer put the gargoyles on buildings that used to scare away the evil spirits that cause mental illness
Hey Tumblr, weird question but I've had these since I was a little kid and I refound them just now but I'm wanting to know if there's more of them and desperate googling is not helpful. Any chance anyone recognizes these little girls or what line of holiday Disney stuff they're from?
Happy cub and grumpy uncle 🌞

The Tangled banner in twst was so cute I had to make some art for it, especially after I finally pulled Riddle! It’s arguably my favorite card of his in game and well, I can’t resist the pun of “Floyd Rider” so this one’s inspired by Tangled.
Both these artworks were made using watercolors and a splash of alcohol markers on top to make certain colors more vibrant (specifically Riddles hair)
They both just look so cute together
Late at night and im thinking about how Yuu and Malleus embody different aspects of the Madonna-Whore spectrum of desire for Rollo
Okay i have no patience SO
Fundamentally, when you look at Rollo’s interactions with Yuu and Malleus, it seems to me that they embody different aspects of his inspiration’s obsession with Esmerelda and desire to either have her, or kill her so no one else can have the privilege to be “ensnared by her spell”. Madonna-Whore may not be the best way to describe it, but its what my brain is sticking to because i am sleepy.
Malleus is very obviously the latter embodiment—he is one of the five most powerful magical beings in Twisted Wonderland, whose presence is so integral to Rollo’s ambitions that when he isn’t selected by lottery (i think if im wrong im sorry), Rollo extends a personal invitation to ensure he will be there when the red flowers bloom. Malleus is, in many ways, the very essence of magic in the story of Twst, fantastical, capricious, slightly removed from the experiences of regular people, capable both of impetuous extraordinary kindness and of impetuous inescapable devastation. He is utterly reviled by Rollo, even as there’s an undercurrent of fascination (especially towards the end of the Glorious Masquerade storyline—it seems dark hair and green eyes are a lure he could never hope to escape). Malleus is a symbol of everything Rollo feels is wrong with the world and wants to stamp out, even as part of him reveres it like he does the Dark Mirror and the Bell of Solace. What a shame such a beautiful being must come from something Rollo despises so.
Yuu, on the other hand, is idolized by Rollo almost from the moment he learns of their origins. They are completely uninvited, only sent along by Crowley at the last minute, but you almost couldn’t tell from Rollo’s near uncharacteristic gallantry towards them, which is heavily contrasted by his cold politesse to the rest of the NRC students. It quickly becomes very apparent that they are as a Madonna in his eyes, a “pure” being wholly untouched by the magic that infests every other part of his world, a literal manifestation of the ideals he’s held for so long…
Which is why it is so devastating to him when Yuu turns around and tells him that they’re fine with magic.
How could it not be? This is the only “pure” person in his eyes telling him that magic is not an infestation or a corruption, a plague that he must purge from the world by any means necessary, but something that can bring joy to them and to others. Even if the more neutral option is chosen, treating magic as something that is more of a tool than an outright evil force is a seriously threat to Rollo’s worldview. Because of course, if it is a tool with no inherent morality, only reflective of the choices its wielders make…but that cannot be. No, the only explanation is that Yuu must be corrupted, tainted even by their proximity to those despised magic users—the hateful Malleus Draconia most of all (remember, in the scene beforehand, we get to see Malleus and Yuu’s friendship and their desire to sit together to enjoy the festivities). No, Rollo vows, one way or another, Yuu will come to the light and either be saved by seeing things his way or they will perish with the magic users they insist on cavorting with.
Which, of course, does mirror the “marry me or you will burn” rhetoric Frollo threatens Esmerelda with, but in my mind there are also some parallels to the relationship Frollo has with Phoebus. The shining captain of the guard, meant to be the enforcer of Frollo’s crusade, who as the film goes on constantly disappoints the judge by being too human to go along with his cruelties, who actively takes a stand against him and tries to save the very people he is employed to destroy. A handsome man in golden armor, Phoebus is much more the picture of a divine champion than Frollo could even be, so do you think it stung? When this man, who could be called an instrument of Frollo’s will as Frollo is meant to be an instrument of God’s, looks him in the eye and tells him “no”? Tells him that his prejudices don’t trump the right people have to exist? Do you think Yuu’s rejection hit Rollo in the same way?
Tl;dr Rollo is a disaster of a human whose prejudiced obsessions mean he can’t rid himself of Malleus Draconia, nor can he gain the regard of the magicless Prefect.
So I actually had to look through Rollo's tag to find this, but in the final chapter of my GloMas fic I got a comment earlier mentioning this post and I got curious. I didn't even fully realize it but I accidentally gave Rollo that very same Madonna-Whore complex with my Yuu (Ashlynn) and Mal. But in addition it's actually really interesting to see you relate Yuu to Phoebus because, also in retrospect, Ash takes on a similar role, going head to head with him and making her stance against him clear.
I adore people psychoanalyzing characters and such but I always find it interesting when my views of a character line up with a proper breakdown post writing haze, or when it means I learn something new to add to my repertoire.
Idk how but now I have a Mulan based Yuu. Do you think your Mushu guy would like 'em
Feiyao probably
he's like an older brother character, he's had a lot of human friends and would be so down to have another one
And then there's mine who is twisted from both Mushu and Mulan who is just-
Her name is Lian Wei she's trying very hard to avoid being engaged to Malleus Draconia, likes to pretend she's not a dragon cause it's more fun that way and lives for the drama.
Silver in your au made me go “close enough welcome back Laura Palmer” HFJSNFNSND

I love it when people depict Silver as slightly unhinged, especially when he's partnered with Sebek.
Because, yes, Silver does (try to) keep Sebek in check most of the time, and he is the type to restrain Sebek whenever he wants to throw down with someone (see B7). He's level-headed and generally mellow so it's a good counterbalance between their two personalities.
But I 100% believe that Sebek spent a lot of his childhood yelling at Silver to stop him from doing crazy stuff. Like Silver would try to jump off branches or cliffs 15ft high because he'd be like "the worst that can happen is breaking a bone or something" and Sebek would be at the base of the tree yelling at him to come down normally. Or Silver would befriend some wild animal like a mountain lion or bear and would be like "We should feed it" and Sebek would be like "No we should NOT"
Young Sebek was overly cautious while Young Silver had no regard for personal safety. It makes sense when you think about how Sebek was raised by two responsible parents who had two children before him, and Silver was raised by Lilia Vanrouge.
