Codatorta & Riven:
Is particularly hard on Riven to get him to achieve “his potential”.
Does look after the younger man, though: makes sure he always has a place to go to once the school goes on break, invites him for dinner with Codatorta’s family on holidays, etc.
Riven is the only one who doesn’t know that he is Codatorta’s real favourite.
Codatorta & Nabu:
Doesn’t even try to hide how much better he thinks Nabu is compared to his students.
”You all should be more like Nabu” this, “I want Nabu to enrol in Red Fountain, please please please” that
Nabu calls Codatorta “daddy 🥺” jokingly and although the older man yells at him for it, he is the only one who doesn’t get beaten up for name-calling.
Codatorta & Helia:
A very respectful, caring relationship.
Although Codatorta at least tries to appear professional with the rest of the gang, he gives up all pretences with Helia.
C’mon, he has known the younger man since the latter was a kid in diapers. Seen him go through hardships, make mistakes and flourish in spite of them. How could he pretend to be anything but wholly on Helia’s side?
Protective of Helia like a little brother. In turn, Helia cares for Codatorta and looks up to him.
Codatorta & Timmy:
the bemused mentor & the over-achieving, comedically ill-timed mentee.
For a long time, Codatorta dismisses Timmy for one of the rich kids who are in it for the rank and the mantle, and treats him coolly.
Timmy desperately tries to prove himself — but because he is so edge around Codatorta, only makes the impression worse. Amy Santiago style.
Only when Timmy stops caring about Codatorta’s opinion and really comes into his own as a specialist — being his quietly bad-ass, confident self — only then does Codatorta start to respect him.
They don’t speak of the shift in their dynamic, but Codatorta begins to entrust Timmy with more challenging tasks and relies on his insight more.
Codatorta & Brandon:
The tired grump dad & the middle child.
Codatorta does actually like Brandon and thinks he makes for a very honourable specialist
But he hates hates hates Brandon’s clown-assery.
Most of their interactions are Brandon trying to be/being funny and Codatorta punishing him for it (and for the man’s ongoing headaches) with exercises.
Once in a blue moon, they do have sincere moments, where both learn a bit from each other.
Codatorta & Sky:
Some (Riven) might mistake Sky for Codatorta’s favourite, because the older man dedicates a lot of his personal time to teaching & advising the prince.
But this is mostly because Sky is one of the only princes, and heirs to a significant empires at that, under Codatorta’s care - and he wants his charge to become a decent man before he inherits the throne.
So Codatorta tries to make Sky wise, selfless, smart, a leader
But Sky is also stubborn as fuck and is responsible for half of Codatorta’s grey heirs alone — so heck no, he is not the favourite .
so to summarise:
all the interactions between Codatorta and the specialists are, of course, Platonic.
The moms in Twisted Wonderland are so beautiful and so uniquely designed. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!
Lesbian Twst Fans we are winning with them.
Edit: Forgot her
I just think they’re silllyyyyy…. to persuade you all I also have a large collection of silly memes thank you very much vvvvv
just found out the #1 azul stan is a Leech and it is NOT the twins
I just know that Sky gets flustered over compliments so easily. Like when Helia tellls him that his hair looks good today and he 's like,,oh thank you😊,, , or when Bloom told him he has pretty lips and then goes to kiss them ,,stop it you're making me blush,, while covering his face with his hands as Bloom laughs at him .
Because of his parents ,he isn't used to compliments and feels like his friends don't really mean them,but honestly Bloom and Brandon help a lot and his confidence has really incresead.

Creamy roasted garlic tomato soup
Yields: 4-6 servings Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 45-50 minutes
Ingredients
Roasted Veggies:
3 pounds ripe tomatoes (Roma or on-the-vine work well)
1 head garlic (top sliced off)
1 medium onion, quartered
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Soup Base:
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 sprigs fresh)
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium is best)
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Equipment:
Baking sheet
Large pot or Dutch oven
Immersion blender (or regular blender)
Instructions
Roast the Vegetables:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise. Drizzle tomatoes, onion, and the garlic head with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Place them on a baking sheet, cut-side down.
Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until tomatoes are blistered and softened.
Start the Soup Base:
While the veggies roast, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the thyme and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
Blend the Soup:
Carefully squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and into the pot with the melted butter. Add the roasted tomatoes and onions (including any juices).
Pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender (or carefully transfer to a regular blender in batches) to puree until very smooth.
Finish and Season:
Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
Serve:
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread, grilled cheese, or a simple salad for a delicious meal!
Tips & Variations:
Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the thyme for a little kick.
Vegan: Swap the butter for olive oil and use a plant-based cream alternative.
Extra Flavor: Add a tablespoon of tomato paste while cooking the thyme for deeper tomato flavor.
Storage: This soup keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and freezes beautifully.
