Enemies To Lovers Who Are Only Enemies Because Everyone Expects Them To Be… In Reality They’re Actually

@llondonfog @serenescribe @admiraltdevanto y'all, this is so sweet. If someone knows the original artist, please let me know

one day i will make a comparative analysis of oz-arthur father-son dynamic and lilia-silver father-son dynamic. i love it when a hundred/a thousand year old wizards unintentionally adopt a kid who has royal blood ❤️

I think the resolution is a little bad because of some problem but i love this scene with my whole life

the crossover no one expected but we all agree onto :3

there's an interesting historical reference to a poem (that is somewhat similar to the original sleeping beauty fairy tales) in diasomnia chapter 4 main story that i wanted to yap about

spoilers under the cut

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.

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)

gonna introduce u guys to some filipino monster heehee

Noya & Kageyama spend a significant amount of time in Italy together when Kageyama joins Ali Roma. But one night during one of their stroll around the city, Noya announces: ‘‘I found my next stop, so I’ll be leaving in a couple of days.’’ Kageyama simply nods - he knew Noya would be leaving Italy eventually.

‘‘It’s about time that I visit the beaches in Brazil, and finally conquer beach volleyball. Don’t you think?’’

Kageyama’s eyes widen before Shouyou’s name escapes his lips - they haven’t seen each other in months, except in video calls. 

Noya laughs at Kageyama’s expression. 

‘‘You have a couple of days to gather everything that you want me to bring to Shouyou.’’

So, for the rest of Noya’s stay, they hunt for gifts and Kageyama gathers a package that hopefully feels like he’s sending a part of himself & a part of Italy to Shouyou.

Recent main story updates have inspired me to make this evil freshmen relationships chart to visualize how I imagine their stuff lmao

Adeuce to Aceyuu one is inspired by the contents of the book 7 dreams

For the Malleus Silver one it's less of how it actually is and more both sharing the same thought about the other

Ortho didn't fit anymore + there was lowkey no point in putting him because it would only be "friends" for mostly everyone here and that's not evil enough
