See, this is one reason why I like TWST: They love to make their characters looking hella insane

I am pretty positive no one had truly seen that Rachel Zegler interview because the hate the poor girl got for it was so insane for no reason, mostly from adult men who did not give a shit about Snow White before the movie was announced.

She never said they wanted to cut the guy‘s story, she simply said that people will assume the movie is just a romance because they cast a guy in it and that Snow‘s story is not just a love story with him. Like she is not stupid, she knows there is a love song in the movie and that Jonathan has his own arc. She was pushing back at the notion that Snow simply has to be saved by a guy cause he is in the movie. Could she have worded it better? Yeah, but it was also 2022 and people are still talking about it as if the girl has not proven time and time again what a great time she had with him, how big of a fan of Snow White she was before she was casted. Her and Jonathan are friends. They were not allowed to talk about how Andrew‘s character is or anything and she found a way to avoid saying too much. I bet she wished she had said it differently but also what difference does it make? What matters is the final product and no one can really judge it without watching it first.

Mind you all this hate from people that were gonna hate on the movie anyway. I cant with fandoms sometimes.

My thoughts on the line up for Jade’s hometown event:

Why would they add in Rook and Riddle when they’ve already been in a wedding event? I guess Riddle is connected to Floyd (who might I remind is NOT the focus of the event) and Rook constantly romanticizes things so weddings are kinda in his wheelhouse, but, they don’t need this!

So, after going over the characters, here’s my thoughts on who would stand in for Rook and Riddle instead!

First off, I immediately got rid of Ortho. Nothing against Ortho, ofc! I just don’t want Twst to disappoint me. I personally headcanon Ortho to be both transfem and physically 16 post book 6 (or more accurately, post Fairy Gala, but the events aren’t entirely canon) so if she were to be there, I would just be unhappy and so I think I’ll save wedding event gear Ortho for my own mind

Second, obviously Azul and Floyd aren’t coming. I understand wanting both twins to be there, but hometown events only really focus on ONE person from that area, so even if multiple characters are from the same town, then only one of them gets the focus. This is scene most clearly in Jamil’s hometown event, where even though the whole reason why everyone is there in the first place is Kalim, Kalim has barely any focus in the event at all, not even getting his own costume change and staying in his dorm uniform

(Side tangent, I remember when we first saw the Tangled event cards and everyone thought it would be a Riddle hometown event, and if it was, then it would have been SUCH a clever way of finding a solution to the problem of multiple characters having the same hometown. We could have actually gone somewhere new, fleshed out the world a bit, met one of Riddle’s parents etc. without actually going to his hometown, so later down the line Trey could have a focus event and we could probably meet one of his siblings (since the manga gives us designs for his parents) It could have been so clever!! But nope! NRC lore and role playing Tangled during the shortest event instead! I don’t accept it as canon, even more so than events usually are, because a hometown styled event would have been the much better option!)

Onto my actual picks! Vil! The main reason I chose him was because 2/3 of Pomefiore already have a wedding themed outfit, so I thought it would be fun to complete the trio lol. Also, he could fill a similar role to Riddle being more on the reluctant and stricter side of things. I could see Jade doing something similar to Vil as he did to Riddle to convince him to come, too. Also, like I mentioned, Riddle is closer connected to Floyd out of twins most often. Though I guess Riddle is connected to the entire octatrio, being classmates with Jade, going through book 6 with Azul, and Floyd always teasing Riddle. But yeah, Riddle’s already been used in a wedding event so get the other queen to go instead. Plus Jade’s dorm vignette is a thing, even if I haven’t read it myself so idk what actually goes on besides Jade getting Vil new shoes so that Vil can sponsor the Mostro Lounge

Now, if part of the reason that I chose Vil was because he was a good stand in for Riddle, then I thought that the fourth character should be someone comparable to Rook. My first thought was Cater, as a wedding seems like something both of them would enjoy being apart of/barring witness to, but then I thought, this is Jade’s event, and Cater and Jade aren’t all that connected. Even if that’s not really an issue with hometown events, I thought that Kalim might make a better fit instead. And, okay, Jade and Kalim aren’t that connected either, but they’re both second years so that counts? Admittedly I just want to put Kalim and Jade in the same room and have them interact. Kalim would also be pretty easy to convince I think and he’d probably really enjoy the party of it all and seeing two people in love with each other be happy

So yeah, that’s my thought process! I think a team of Jade, Malleus, Vil and Kalim could be really fun! Though, putting any of these guys in a room together would be fun lol. Maybe I’ll design outfits for Vil and Kalim later, but I want to know what other people think too. If anyone has any characters they’d want to see in the event, then tell me why them specifically!

While I’m here, I also want to say: I think Azul’s hometown event should be in the actual Coral Sea and not just on the coast of it and we get to meet his mom, and Floyd’s can also be on land and we get to meet Papa Leech. Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk

Had to throw my hat in the ring.

I LOVE YOU SCARABIA MANGA

A lot of the people who hate Kalim just dislike him because he's rich.

Character critique is fine but you'd think people could find something less blantantly petty.

i don't know why I made this

These two images state my reason for the updated GoFundMe campaign. As an explanation for everyone, since not everyone can read images, I was informed that I would not be able to work for Doordash in order to make ends meet during my medical leave.

I am in need of this money for rent and car note most! Any extra will go towards any groceries/necessities I've been unable to get from other resources when needed. But ultimately, you all are keeping a roof over my head as well as my car in my possession so that I can actually get back to work once the leave is over.

So basically, for car note and rent alone, I'll need 675 and 750 for my rent for January and my car note for this month and next month (so 375 x2).

So if y'all can help with that, please consider giving toward my GoFundMe campaign which can be found here (or on the link below).

You can also donate via my PayPal if you would rather not go through GoFundMe (as it can take several days for the donations to hit whereas PayPal is immediate). My PayPal is eriklovescats@gmail.com. [Just advice that it is towards my GoFundMe so that I can manually enter your donation.]

Thank y'all so much for your time and help. It absolutely means the world to me and the donations I've already received have continued to keep me alive and surviving. For that I appreciate it so very much.

Sending epic awesome vibes for the rest of your year and setting the intention that life gives y'all everything you need to thrive in life! Asking my gods for help in manifesting these intentions. So mote it be! 🙏💖🙏💖🙏💖

If you are unable to help financially, I beg that you reblog this for me if you are willing to that others who can help monetarily can find it. Thank you!
