"Behind Every Gay Person There Is An Evil, Gayer Person" Is Literally

My wife and I have a little game we play called "Speaking From Ignorance."

To play Speaking From Ignorance, all you need is a phone with a voice recorder, and another person who knows considerably more or considerably less about a topic than you do. The topic can be anything: from "how to bake a quiche" to "what happens in the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies" to "who is Florence Pugh" to "how does the traveling salesman problem work." All that matters is that one of you has a firm grasp on the material, and one of you absolutely the fuck does not.

Then the person who knows about the topic turns on the recorder, and says to the person who knows barely anything: "Hey - tell me everything you think you know about [X]."

The speaker is then not allowed to ask any questions. Nor is the expert allowed to volunteer any information. The expert is allowed to pipe up with a faintly incredulous "Oh--really? Do you--do you think so?" from time to time, but for the most part, the expert's job is just to sit there and make encouraging sounds while the speaker digs their own grave.

This is never not funny.

The reason you record it is because, very often, the first thing the speaker wants to do after finishing the recording is find out how you actually make a quiche, or whatever. Then you both get to go back and listen to how wrong they were.

We have a small library now of Speaking From Ignorance recordings, and I'm going to be listening to them until I'm eighty.

The one TWST theory I refuse to let go of, regardless of what anyone else thinks, is that Grim was created by a member of the Shroud family. IT MAKES SENSE JUST HEAR ME OUT PLEASE

when thinking about twst my mind always eventually bounces back to thinking about the little first year gang, because they're such a disaster group.

like arguably, none of them on their own are grade a troublemakers (except Grim). If we're going by chaos energy on their own, characters such as floyd, kalim, jade, lilia, ect. probably wreak more havoc. hell most of the dorm leaders, as intelligent as they are, are so arrogant that they cant seem to stop pissing others off.

but the first years have the terrible curse that their brain seems to fall out of their asses the moment another first year is nearby.

ace is the best example, we know from chapter 7 that he has a good head on his shoulders, but the moment an opportunity to mess with deuce/prefect/grim arises he throws all caution out the window. despite the voice inside his head screaming danger he can't ignore the siren's call of starting shit.

deuce, on the other hand, is a character that literally can't seem to avoid bullshit. He's trying so hard to be better and YET he keeps getting wrapped up in these looney toons ass situations. he's the unluckiest first year, and is also easy to anger and even easier to fool.

Epel is a good enough student when he's surrounded by the rest of pomefiore (who are arguably more insane than him) but he also can't ignore the allure of chaos. imo he's the enabler, with a personal philosophy of "you can solve every problem if you hit it hard enough"

jack tries really REALLY hard to not get involved, but he's also too emotionally constipated for his own good sometimes. remember that scene in stitch's event where he tries to help riddle and azul with carrying heavy items, then to cover up for his display of kindness he tries to be all like "psh yea you guys don't look that strong" and riddle prompty obliterates him for saying that. yea that. keeps shooting himself in the foot

ortho seems like he'd have a good head on his shoulders, but he has the same amount of social tact as idia. i mean he's really nice right up until the situation gets dire, and then he starts calling his friends idiots. he's absolutely correct btw, but ortho don't say that out loud

and finally sebek, who tries really hard to not be associated with the rest of these hooligans, but is argueably the worst person here. yells at everyone, insults everyone, sebek is the friend you cannot take out to eat because he doesn't know what an inside voice is and doesnt understand why he has to wait so long for his food despite the fact you're with a group of 7 during the busiest time of the evening.

Grim is like. the final piece to this puzzel. all the first years need a bit of chaos to get truly started, and grim cannot stop causing problems

say hi to the family

WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE HORRIBLY:

1. You’ll never write anything if you don’t

Chuuya is the only man alive who could go toe-to-toe with a god, crack the earth in half, and still lose a verbal fight with Dazai.

Every time he breathes, Dazai’s ghost voice whispers ‘you’re 5’3” and your blood pressure is rising.’

The man can’t win.

Johannes Harsenherz, better known as "Lady J", is a handsome drag queen who loves stealing the spotlight with his dazzling brilliance. Many might call him arrogant —and perhaps he is — but his piercing green eyes easily divert the conversation or land a sharp retort. It’s surprising how someone so haughty manages to maintain a loyal following at a small bar...

Fun Facts:

As mentioned earlier, Johannes performs in small drag shows, though he used to work as a substitute teacher at NRC. He left his teaching career to pursue his beloved dream.

Despite quitting teaching, he still keeps in touch with some people from NRC, especially Divus and Mozus.

His drag name is a silly joke referencing Jessica Rabbit (the character he’s based on).

His unique magic also pays homage to the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and perhaps there’s more to that story...

Thank you TWST fandom now I can actually properly work on outlining. This project ended up being much bigger than I intended oops. I just have to decide when Things Take Place. It's either going to be between books 6 and 7 or post-7 and I can't choose which

Hello TWST fandom I am enlisting your aid

I need to separate the following characters into duos for the sake of a project (temporary roommates). Which ones would you duo up and why

Ace

Ortho

Vil

Kalim

Jack

Leona

Jade

Can range from "I think they'd make a good pair in an emergency" to "It's actually feasible they'd be willing to share a dorm room for a few days" to "I just think it'd be funny"
