Hanya: Could It Be That The Signal From The Shackling Prison Is Still Blocked?Hmm... They Proposed Maintenance

Hanya: Could it be that the signal from the Shackling Prison is still blocked? Hmm... they proposed maintenance last year, but it's been delayed in the approval process...

i sure hope thats changed now (2.4-2.5 go brr)

OH MY GOD thats a huge wall of text. i was just clicking to speed up the texts and i just get hit with walls upon walls of texts and then it kept going and im like OKAY HOLD ON I CANT READ THAT FAST and trying to speed it up so i can scroll back and read it and theN BRRRR like holy fuck 😭

anyway context: hanya wrote this for her sister (who likes thriller novels). apparently its her first attempt. its called Seawater

Hanya: Judges have forever grappled with the burden of excruciating decisions. Among them, few weigh on their conscience as heavily as the relentless pursuit of the betrayer. Motivated by greed, disdain, or the intoxication of danger, comrades can swiftly transform into enemies. And when the moment arrives to dispense justice upon a former ally in the name of the revered Ten Lords, the torment becomes unbearable. The place I now journey towards bears witness to a heart-rending spectacle. Long ago, I meticulously constructed a trap to ensnare the perpetrator who conspired with the Denizens of Abundance. This elusive criminal, known only as "Seawater," peddled invaluable secrets, unraveling the intricate tapestry of the Alliance within the Ryansnaut Sector. Engaged in an unyielding battle with "Seawater" for an extended duration, I now find myself poised to tighten the noose. As I hasten towards the scene, a vivid tableau unfolds within my mind. A greenhorn Cloud Knight, a spirited street performer, a guileless foxian girl, and one enigmatic Nameless... Which among them could be "Seawater"? And when the truth is ultimately unveiled, how shall I confront the inevitable, merciless denouement...? Without warning, an arrow, launched from the shadows, pierces my heart. I collapse to the ground, I find my gaze locked onto the countenance of the assailant... Trailblazer: Wait, hold on a sec! Are you seriously planning to send me the entire novel through text messages!? Hanya: Sorry. I'm not done yet. "Seawater... It is you!" It ends here. That's all I've managed to write so far. I'm a bit stuck and need some advice.

im so sorry if there are any typos or if i typed the wrong word but thats a lot of text 😭 i usually write the texts together but separating it for each text sent. i dont know if that makes sense, but since she was sending a novel i thought itd be a better idea to actually put space in between the paragraphs so its not just all clumped together in a difficult to read block of text (also its a personal thing because i for the life of me i struggle so bad keeping track of where i am reading SUPER long blocks of text cause i keep accidentally losing my place or reading the wrong sentence in combination with another)

anyways

the reason we are suspects is because xueyi told her its easier to write characters based on familiar faces

Hanya: My sister mentioned that it's easier to write a novel when the characters are based on familiar faces. I've been thinking about it. Maybe it's because you guys are always too kind for me to imagine you doing anything evil. No wonder I'm stuck now. Perhaps I should draw inspiration from the criminals I usually deal with.

also she hasnt decided on who seawater (the criminal) should be

[Twisted Wonderland Theory] Floyd's Nicknames Analysis

(Image from the Twisted Wonderland Wiki fandom)

MC/Yuu: Shrimpy/Koebi-chan

Shrimps have thin and fragile legs. MC/Yuu lives in Ramshackle, and due to the conditions of the dorm, it's likely that the MC would get sick a lot and doesn't consume much nutrition. Someone also told me that shrimp is also kind of an insult for a small person. Although since MC is the player, they can be whatever height you want.

Grim: Seal/Azarashi-chan

Grim does kind of look like a seal. Sort of.

Riddle: Goldfish/Kingyo-chan

Goldfish are intelligent, like Riddle. In the sun, their skin produces pigment, like how humans become more tan. The pigment makes their skin become a red color, like Riddle's hair.

Trey: Sea Turtle/Umigame-kun

Green sea turtles are primarily herbivore, and Trey's favorite food is sugared violets, and violets are a plant/flower.

Cater: Sea Bream/Hanadai-kun

A sea bream is a fish that's commonly eaten. A sea bream's skin color will vary depending on the water type and environment, like how Cater is adaptable to many situations.

Ace and Deuce: Crab/Kani-chan and Mackerel/Saba-chan

I think their hair color and style just reminds Floyd of a crab and mackerel fish.

Leona: Sea Lion/Todo-senpai

The lifespan of a sea lion is 20-30 years, Leona is 20 years old.

Ruggie: Suckerfish/Kobanzame-chan

The electric yellow cichlid is the most recognizable suckerfish. Ruggie has dirty blonde hair. Yellow is like the way brighter version of blonde.

Jack: Sea Urchin/Uni-chan

Jack's hair is spiky like a sea urchin's. A sea urchin can also drill a hole in a rock, I guess this kind of resembles Jack's physical strength.

Kalim: Sea Otter/Rakko-chan

Sea otters have a pouch on their body where they keep their favorite rock and other things, kind of like Kalim's treasure room.

Jamil: Sea Snake/Umihebi-kun

Basically their snakes that live underwater, nice. They are found in warm coastal waters, like how Scarabia dorm is located in a desert.

Vil: Betta Fish/Beta-chan or Beta-senpai

Betta fish are native to Thailand and are famous for its colors and large, flowy fins which they use to fight. The fish resembles Vil really nicely.

Rook: Seagull/Umineko-kun

Seagulls learn how to learn, remember, and pass on behaviors which help them catch their prey. Similar to how Rook remembers a bunch of information on different students and tricks his prey in order to catch them.

Epel: Guppy/Guppy-chan

Guppies are nicknamed rainbow fish, they are characterized by different colors, patterns, shapes, and fin size. They are also highly adaptable, like how Epel was able to adapt to Pomefiore despite not liking the dorm much.

Idia: Firefly Squid/Hotaru Ika-senpai

Firefly squids can flash lights in countless patterns, either in unison or individuality, this resembles how Idia's hair legit glows.

Ortho: Sea Angel/Clione-chan

Sea angels are really unique. They have little, tiny horns which are sensory organs and their wing-like structure called parapodia are actually feet. Since their transparent, we can see their heart. This resembles how Ortho has all these gadgets on him and how we can see his "heart". Sea angels catch prey by shooting out tentacles, like how Ortho can shoot his magic laser beam.

Malleus: Sea Slug/Umiushi-senpai

Sea slugs are really dangerous, they have poisonous skin and are even cannibals, I infer this is supposed to resemble how dangerous Malleus is.

Lilia: Flapjack Octopus/Mendako-chan

I infer Floyd chose this nickname because of Lilia's hair style and height. His hair sort of kind of looks like the body of a flapjack octopus and both are pretty small in height.

Silver: Jellyfish/Kurage-chan

Jellyfish are silver/white and Silver has silver hair. They can also be bioluminescent, so they can produce their own light, which can be any color, including purple and blue, and sometimes, Silver's eyes seem to be a purple-blue color.

Sebek: Crocodile/Wani-chan

Well, their are some green crocodiles out there, I think.

Crewel: Beak Fish/Ishidai-sensei

Both are striped. Crewel has strips on his fur coat and beak fish have stripes on their skin too, both are black and white.

Sam: Seahorse/Umiuma-kun

Seahorses look very bony. Sam has a bone print on some parts of his clothes.

Trein: Red Squid/Akaika-sensei

I infer that Floyd chose this nickname because Trein wears a maroon coat, which I guess reminds him of a red squid.

Vargas: Lobster/Lobster-sensei

This is pretty self explanatory.

Okay, that's all. I have a headache.

i wanna talk about friends with benefits and then of that turning into like an actual relationship (ive been reading a story with it so i wanna talk about this. not gonna mention the story because im kind of worried there's gonna be something dubious idk i havent finished it yet but theres a person working on it whose done a different work with some very .. um . worse than dubious things SO)

like. i dont really know what ppls general thoughts on it are but i feel like i potentially might be understanding of the side that doesnt get as much attention?

like. okay. so. like friends with benefits, and then one person pops the question of dating and the other.. has some sort of negative reaction. or like, didnt even expect it

and like. i understand it being like bUT sO and SO because its the main pairing and obviously they're gonna get together, right?

but so. i as a person can empathize with the one who gets asked the question

because its like. like i can understand their shock? with the question coming out of nowhere, right? cause its like, even if there are all these hints or anything that could be signaling 'hey, this person probably likes you', why would they think about it when its emphasized over and over again that they're 'just friends'. friends. friends. friends. and like if they start to develop feelings then its like, either not realizing, denial, or circling back to them just being 'friends'

so then insert any manner of negative reaction here

and i feel like they're valid because it just comes out outta nowhere. i mean dont get me wrong the person being possibly rejected's hurt is valid too cause it takes a lot to pop the question and take that next step

but its also like.

so story time

theres this person whose pronouns i dont know (i know they changed to opposite pronouns at one point but i have no idea if they stuck to it or if its changed again so they/them to be safe)

but so like. me and them were like really close friends, right? like we talked to each other everyday and it was like we were siblings, and we treated each other like siblings (it sounds weird in text. but its like. yknow how you call people like sis or bro to someone you're close to but not necessarily related? or like. like yknow how theres hyung and oppa and noona in korean which can be used to refer to a sibling but it can also be used to refer to people not related to you but are probably close to???)

then out of the blue they confessed to me and im just like. what??? and i rejected them but so i was caught completely off guard. if there were any signs beforehand i was completely blind to them

but its like. i never saw them that way, but then it was like i realized that there could be something?? like i started thinking about it in our interactions later and could probably see us getting together. its just that before it hadnt occurred to me so it felt like i didnt feel anything of that nature for them

but that once i realized that it could and had time to think over it, that i couldve felt something. like idk maybe i was speedrunning getting a crush or maybe its just this thing that was growing in the background that i didnt notice until then

anyway me and them didnt get together but so thats why i kinda feel more for the person being asked it out of nowhere (for them i mean) in stories

(yknow what? this might be why when watching like the full moon episode on helluva boss i defended blitzo first instead of the general reaction of defend stolas, defend blitzo later on rewatch/reflection)

like i mean if the reaction is really bad then oof i feel bad for the person asking it

but im more understanding of the other needing time to think it over, to rethink interactions with that person in that kind of 'could i love them' light

like cause idk at the time it could feel like they dont feel anything. but then they think of it with, i guess those kind of rose-colored glasses, interacting with them with it and thinking that maybe they could like that person like that, right?

i hope im making sense. i cant be sure.

cause like. i understand that it can be a little hard to handle because its like. doing the deed is usually seen as like something between lovers, right? you're being really intimate and kinda vulnerable with someone and so thats what its usually associated with. so it kinda feels like how can they not be in love, right?

so i just kinda hope that my explanation made even a little bit of sense

anyway im gonna get back to reading (im only 1/3 of the way through fshuifs)

(partial GloMas and book 6 spoiler)

twitch streaming from mobile be like:

i dont know how it decides when it is and isnt laggy as hell cause earlier it looked fine (it just hates interacting with story 💀)

like. see??? it was so much clearer earlier

or like now

like. okay well free advertising tbh lmfao but earlier i streamed the optional ptms (cause i didnt actually read all of them, since i was too busy trying to beat the battles tbh)

but like like epel wheres your mouth 😭

edit: 😭 ??? om

Drift Bottle Letter (IV) Dear friend, I remember saying that I have given up on getting help. (I'm writing again in case you missed the previous letter.) A starskiff broke down nearby, and a castaway drifted to my island. He has lost his memory, and all I know is that the day I found him was the 3rd of July, a Saturday. So, I called him "Saturday." Unlike me, he is eager to return to civilization. I hate to see people suffering. I hope you, as someone suffering in civilization, could talk Saturday out of going back. I've already made a draft. Please help me revise it and then throw it back into the sea.

i. saturday.

March 7th: H-hey! That's not what I meant! I'm all for some fun... I just hope there won't be any surprise party crashers like Friday or Saturday.

i. i know its not but i 💀

you're Sunday, and you're Saturday.. Are there any more week named people I should know about!?

(this is a reference to like the. 'you're squidward, he's squidward, are there anymore squidwards I should know about!?')

Treasure of the (Vampire) Duke's Family?! / TCF/LCF Fic (Fic Rec)

When Kim Rok Soo fell asleep while reading, he did not wake up in Cale Henituse's body. In some ways, this changed nothing. In other ways, it changed everything.

basically krs becomes naru lol. ive recently been getting super fixated on tcf and naru and white star and just interactions. and its both so fucking stressful and also 'aHAHAH nothing to be suspicious of here uncle hAHAHAH'

and its. so fucking cool. and id say its pretty canon divergent. stuff changes, some stuff stays the same, but so on and so on

and i think theres some stuff thats not actually canon that also changes it while making sense as we're well from dark creature pov and why so and so and i dont wanna spoil it because its really cool

it hasnt been updated in like a year i dont think (at 50 chapters with 480k words holy moly) but its. so fucking cool.

and i like it very very much.

id rlly recommend giving it a read
