✧ Weekly TWST Reblog Replies! - #1 ✧

idk if i'll make this a consistent thing, mainly because i'm inconsistent- but I do like replying to other people's opinions on my posts, so yeah! expect these every week for the most part, unless there's no reblogs..

reply to @usurper-of-heavens - No, you're absolutely not underestimating them. I wholly believe that that the characters in-game mischaracterize Kalim just as much as the fandom does. I will argue that for the characters, it's actually reasonable, since not all of them know him all that well. Even so, the fact that a ton of them don't think about what it means to be an heir to a throne, minus the pampering and luxurious life, is kinda crazy to me..

I'm more so disappointed that the princes don't recognize this, and although Malleus was probably fine his whole life, why does Leona not acknowledge this idea? If I had to guess, it's mainly because some of Leona's trauma stems from his being born second and being outcast from the throne. Maybe seeing Kalim so oblivious and happy makes him forget the idea that Kalim could also go through anything similar to the rejection he faced during childhood.

reply to @magimerlyn - This is a wonderful statement that I totally agree with, Kalim is mindful enough to continue working with Jamil even after discovering Jamil's feelings about him, opting to try and become less dependent on him while not throwing him to the side, considering that he has the power to get rid of Jamil. Yes, some of his emotional stability relies on Jamil being around, but that's exactly why he's trying to grow more as a person, and be more mindful of the choices he makes involving Jamil. Chances are, Jamil wouldn't magically outgrow his habits of taking care of Kalim even if Kalim did immediately grant his freedom and close off their relationship. Either way, Kalim would probably be granted some reprieve from his grievances if someone as helpful and dedicated as Jamil came along that he could trust trust. Now whether this would affect Kalim and Jamil's relationship?.. we'll leave that to the fanfic writers..

reply to @flying-mochis - Yeah, Kalim has several moments where he openly shows his innovation in attempts to develop more personally by not relying on Jamil all the time. Book 5 - Chapter 10 is a great example of Jamil's development, because he's willing to continue aiding Kalim despite probably being able to prove himself as better than him. Of course, this is partially because of his ruined reputation, but you can't deny that he isn't being super spiteful despite the fact that his plan to overthrow Kalim didn't work.

reply to @tinisprout - Exactly, like my poor boy!!! We'll listen!! 😭😭😭 In reality, I don't think Kalim would ever willingly vent if it wasn't in private like that moment, because of his fear of ruining his reputation as the happy go-lucky housewarden who's always oblivious and naive yet kind. It's a standard he needs to uphold, and maybe Kalim is afraid of getting help from others because he might be a burden to them, in the same way he limited Jamil from ever showing his full potential. This is more of a theory, but still.. Our sweet boy doesn't deserve this.. 😭😭

reply to @twsted-canvas - Yeah, I can't blame you... Twst's put 0 development into Grim's character in regards to caring for others, which is so lame- Give us student Grim who secretly cares for his first year friends and Yuu, but denies it!! In all aspects, if he didn't have a bad personality, he would be a very cute lil kitty. (still don't forgive you for changing the topic while kalim was venting you asshat)

IM CRYING 💀💀

WE WERE RIGHT, THE HONKSHOO 80 YEAR OLD GRANDPA FIT IS REALLLLL 😭😭😭

NOW WE JUST NEED VIL IN THE SEXY FEATHERED ROBE (twst please) ALSO Rook having his freckles means that they aren’t gone, he just covers it up with makeup (as seen in his groovy)!! 🙌 his little clips r also adorable but using NEIGE themed stuff after vdc is.. a choice.. (rook did you not learn your lesson)

Anyways, Vil, it's your calling and duty:

y'all.. what is going on in leona's dream.. 💀

are you telling me that he's SO DEPRESSED, THAT EVEN IN HIS DREAM HE ISN'T HAPPY?? WHAT THE FU- THAT'S SO SAD TWST STOP MAKING OUR BOYS SAD 😭 (i feel like the story's explanation of the situation makes a little sense, but not enough, and as a cynical/jaded leona kin, this is so avidly depressing-)

MAKING WHAT IS A DEAD CHEKA REANIMATED (a puppet controlled by ruggie's um) IN ORDER TO WAKE UP LEONA IS ACTUALLY CRAZY.. 💀💀 i feel like they took the first situation of leona's dream and his whole family being dead way too lightly, even if it isn't real- 😭

i don't understand how the kifaji in his dream gained consciousness or whatever, but it actually made me tear up a little bit seeing leona send him off after defeating his overblot form 😭 😭

I also think that his rather lackluster reaction to Malleus doing all of this makes sense, not only is he probably (internally) trying to process everything that's going on right now (me too cause this is some crazy matrix level stuff-), but he probably understands Malleus at least a little bit, when it comes to going to unimaginable lengths for the things you desire *COUGH* spelldrive tournament *COUGH* I MEAN WHO SAID THAT 💀💀

Edit: I saw this great animation of Leona and Malleus where Malleus had revealed himself to Leona in his dream and I had to share, IT'S ALSO ANIMATED TO RULER OF MY HEART SO ALIEN STAGE LOVERS??.. it's by luziia, who's art style is really nice, here's the link and a little preview! ^^ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMnS5suKfmo

it's the way that all the posts about the new halloween event are about gojo or yassifying jack skellington 😭

JAMIL NEW BIRTHDAY CARD!!!1!1!11

i prefer to post all jp leaks with spoiler warnings, but the entire fandom has already seen this so- (ill put warnings for chapter 7 spoilers)

all the fanart of him using magic to put up his hair is canon!!! and it's wavy!!!1!1

Side note:

WHY DIDN'T WE GET THIS AS HIS CARD SPRITE?? THE BANGS?? HE ATE SO HARD BUT WERE STUCK WITH THE HEADBAND 😭

im so mentally ill BUT I PROMISE I WONT RANT ONLY ABOUT THE SCARABIA DUO'S TRAUMA IN HERE..

... that being said... (god i'm awful)

Seeing that we see Jamil's childhood and all his memories of being told to be subordinate, it's safe to say that Jamil is less affected by dissociative amnesia, aka traumatic-memory-repressing.

However, does this mean that even though he probably has some repressed memories about his childhood and traumatic experiences, he also remembers some of them?

What if he's the only one who really knows what Kalim has been through? But because of their tragic relationship, he's unable to admit that he feels sorry for Kalim, because in some sense (THAT HE'S TECHNICALLY RIGHT ABOUT), Kalim is the reason for his trauma too.

Both him and Kalim were never able to have normal childhoods, but beyond normalizing this idea, they both struggle to accept the fact that they didn't have it worse than the other.

Kalim deals with this struggle more easily, as you see him developing these realizations through out the main story line, like in book 5 - 30. In fact, he almost immediately forgoes this idea after Jamil stops overblotting, offering Jamil a choice that takes his traumatic past into consideration, while allowing them to still continue a relationship of some sorts. Meanwhile, Jamil has had less/little development on this. He did have a really nice moment in book 5-10 talking to Azul, but other than that, I really haven't seen more moments of his development, which I find rather disappointing on twst's part. I'd really like a nice moment, whether between Jamil and someone else (like the MC), or maybe even between him and Kalim, where he does atleast acknowledge this idea (Kalim having trauma) without compromising the truth that he has also been wronged.

In the end, I doubt this will ever happen, but a girl can dream.. I atleast wish that the fans wouldn't make their relationship in the fandom competitive in regards to "who's-more-traumatized". This isn't a debate, there doesn't need to be a right answer.

BRO.. 💀

I REITERATE MY POINT DAWG 😭 MF'S LITERALLY THAT MEME THAT'S LIKE "my eyebags are specifically designed to carry the weight of my existence" 💀💀
