There's An Interesting Historical Reference To A Poem (that Is Somewhat Similar To The Original Sleeping

I translated the Main Story Book 7 Chapter 4 Ep 63 (which is posted on my tl account over here) when it was first released, and looking back on it now, i realized that there's this part that hasn't been talked about(?) (or maybe i'm just out of the loop now LOL).

But basically there's this part where baul and lilia explains that they were going to 野ばら城 (which i translated as Wild Rose Castle) to deliver a message to Queen Maleanor, Malleus' mother.

If we break down the meaning of each character:

• "野" ("の/no") means "wild,"

• ばら ("bara") means "rose,"

• while "城" ("shiro") is just the word for "castle";

Thus, I translated 野ばら城 to 'Wild Rose Castle.'

HOWEVER. 野ばら on its own is also the Japanese translation of Goethe's poem, "Heidenröslein," which is a story about a young man who decides to pluck a small rose on the heath despite the rose's warning that she will stick him with her thorn. Here is a screenshot of a summary of the poem's text from its wiki page.

There's An Interesting Historical Reference To A Poem (that Is Somewhat Similar To The Original Sleeping

I think it's an extremely interesting choice on the Twst writers' end to choose this specific word as the name for Maleanor's castle since if you just wanted to search up an actual wild rose, you would have to type 野バラ instead (using the katakana バラ as it's the more common way to type the word 'rose' in Japanese).

Plus, taking into account the message behind Heidenröslein, I can't help but recall the actual Sleeping Beauty fairy tale AND the Maleficent (2014) movie. (Angelina Jolie herself said that Henry betraying Maleficent's trust and love just to take away her wings is like an allegory to rape).

What does it mean for Twst lore?

Well, nothing much, really. Since they never touched on this topic again after Silver and the guys left Lilia's dream 😔. We'll have to wait until Heartslabyul dreams are over until we get new lore drops related to Diasomnia, but I just found this as an interesting etymology that I wanted to share! It also just shows the detail that the writers put into writing the main story as they reference content somewhat related to the stories where the characters are twisted from.

(I like to yap about twst lore so follow me if you want to see more of that + i'm in dire need of friends </3)

screaming, crying, throwing up, as I force myself to write a story i'm very passionate about and love writing and have no obligation to write except that i want to

stop trying to make your draft perfect on the first try. your characters don’t care. your plot doesn’t care. even the imaginary readers in your head don’t care because they don’t exist yet. just write the terrible version. write the cringey dialogue and the scenes that go nowhere and the metaphors so bad they make you cringe into next week. because guess what? you can’t edit a blank page, but you can edit a hot mess. embrace it.

high school pining prompts

staring at your crush during class

and then getting caught by your teacher and making excuses like “oh, there’s a bee in the window”

being partners during an assignment/project

doing group activities

watching the other playing sports

watching the other singing in a swing

calling them through the window

sitting together at the rooftop

borrowing a book and slipping notes inside them

flying paper planes in the classrooms

them forgetting their lunch so you have to share your tiffin

asking them to pick up a book from the tall shelf

peeping at them through that book in the library

sharing notes because they were sleeping during class

“can i sit beside you if the seat is not taken…?”

focusing so much on that person that you almost miss out what the teacher is saying

feeling proud and happy when a teacher compliments them

immediately looking at them to see their reaction when the teacher compliments you

“good morning” during prayer time that makes your day

trying to locate him in the queue during the morning assembly

searching in google or youtube “how to know if my crush likes me back”

hating school and then suddenly loving it because you know they would be there

waving them goodbye with a fond smile when the final bell rings 

passionately hoping that you meet them somewhere other than school

and imagining endless scenarios with them ofc

/ Orv novel ch 489 spoilers

a comic redraw of a scene in Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint novel chapter 489, where Shin Yoosung is holding tightly onto Lee Gilyoung's hand, saying "You idiot... Wake up", "I don't understand ahjussi either", "I'm just doing my best trying to understand.". Both of them are drawn to be crying, and in front of them is Dokja in his Outer God "Enemy of the Story" form

[ Story, 'Saviour of the Star', is having a chat with the Story, 'Insect King' ]

Girl i will never recover from this chapter. the whole "gilyoung is jealous of yoosung" and "gilyoung would also put his life on the line and sign a contract with his sponsor to protect yoosung" breaks my heart and im just AUGHHHH SCREAMS

and now I will ramble about sys and lgy under the cut.

THEY MEAN EVERYTHING TO ME. have you guys ever realised how gilyoung was growing to become so fucked up in the beginning of the story? killing monsters and even people without batting an eye, offering to dokja to leave him behind, and even sangah and dokja were genuinely worried about his development. (sangah telling him she'll kill and he doesn't need to kill anything) and the one thing that sort of grounds gilyoung from this taking over his growth is when shin yoosung joins the party

its only after she joins that he's able to act his age like a lil kid, bickering and fighting and just... aughhh,, THEY ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS FROM THE SAME AGE OKAY... like having friends your age is so important when you're a kid, they literally stay together all the time. and they argue a lot but they defend each other and hold each others hands whenever the other needs help.

its SO fucking wholesome. NOT TO MENTION, yoosung was the reason gilyoung signed a contract with his sponsor in the jttw arc, (it was never specified why but i think he did it so she would survive and save dokja? Or like so he could have the power to fend off the enemies on his own and keep them occupied away from sys. Maybe I'll go reread that part again) the whole yellow aura thing yknow. and im like half certain they picked up the idiot-calling from like yjh kdj and hsy calling each other bastard stupid and idiot all the time...its kinda funny..

anyway. they make me so ill. SO ILL.
