TWST EDIT DUMP 2

okay i knew it was coming but its kind of killing me how obtuse people are being towards toshiro (im not fucking calling him shuro and honestly yall should stop with that too). should he have told laios how he really felt about him, sure, yeah, but im going to go off on a limb here and suggest maybe! maybe! he's been raised in an environment where it's actually like legitimately unheard of and taboo to be very open and straight forward about his feelings. the entire party has been calling him by a name that literally isnt even his own because he is so used to quashing down his own reactions to others. like i think other poc diaspora dunmeshi fans might agree with me here but he just reads like someone whos not bothered enough to correct every microaggression thrown his way. because that shit is exhausting. and after like five hours of laios bugging him about stories of his homeland why would he have a good opinion of him. genuinely. im not saying laios is entirely at fault but neither is toshiro. i love laios too but it is Very Weird that toshiro gets the brunt of their friendship's falling out (ill circle back to this)

also to preface this i am a farcille shipper so im. not pushing for falin/toshiro. but people acting like his affection for falin is somehow not relevant or he has no devotion to falin at all is CRAZY. immediately after being teleported out he threw himself back into that dungeon and didnt eat or sleep properly to rescue her. we literally watch him collapse from it. after multiple episodes emphasizing the importance of nutrition and caring for yourself and your take away from a man willing to toss that away is that he just. doesn't care for falin? why is he in the dungeon then? answer. quickly. granted he's not as onboard with the whole black magic thing but his concerns are literally valid and before we see falin chimera he seems to have been talked down from reporting them all for it. its the proof of his concerns of the use of black magic that he decides to go up and report them at all. his bond with falin isn't nearly as strong as marcille's bond but its also not nothing. ignoring that or minimising his own sacrifices is such a nasty bad faith disservice to his character.

speaking of bonds. toshiro doesn't hate laios. guys. his last act this episode was to give laios and the rest of the party (yes, even black magic user marcille) a way out of the hole that they'd already dug for themselves. fleeing to the east and leaving falin to the elves isnt the best case scenario but it is one that lets the majority of the party survive whatever's coming. its the realistic play. is this the act of a man who hates his former colleagues? is he wishing harm and further misfortune on them? his actions speak for themselves. you guys are being way too hard on toshiro and its really fucking telling. this goes for white viewers especially

This is how enemies to lovers Oisin and Adaine can still work out

TWST EDIT DUMP 3

batch 1

batch 2

you know the post that was like if you gave extreme nacho flavored doritos to a medieval peasant theyd probably die

i know were all relieved that its a time loop and that they arent gone forever and im being completely normal about that

and by that i mean im thinking about how gerard will never get HIS elody back, because in that world he is dead. the fairies could bring her to him, effectively tearing her from the kingdom she was trying to save and dooming them both, because how could she love him after that? pinocchio's dad might live in some liminal space where in every iteration he is bound to the stepmother, but whos to say gepetto wasnt waiting for his human son to come home? what if thats how the stepmother is able to keep lying to pinocchio saying that his dad is safe, because she keeps finding new gepettos to drain, and that fatherly love goes beyond whatever story they find themselves in.

no matter what magic is offered to them, they cant go back. they died in that story. and they dont have time to worry about what will happen to the people they loved because they only have one way to save them, and its to remember.

Ace Trappola edits!!

don’t need to ask but give credit in bio if used!!

i’ve become fully convinced that dropout’s game changer is just a little laboratory where sam reich tests out new ideas for shows.

so like…this is 100% why ivy had That Reaction to fig disguised as lucy, right? it wasn’t that she saw through the disguise, she just saw her once dead friend now revived (like the rest of the party had already been) and thought lucy finally chose ankarna (chose them)
