Uhhhm Uhhn Something Something Twst

uhhhm uhhn something something twst

i was rewatching tangled and i thought that yuu and crowley r kind of similar to mother gothel and rapunzel listen to me i beg

yuu is stuck in twst , so they have essentially no way out and if they fight back, crowley gives them a sort of “oh but im doing this and im so generous” thing yk, like mother gothel he’s saying “i do this because im so generous and i care” literally listen to mother knows best you’ll notice here’s some lyrics in particular

“i only bathed, and changed and nursed you, go ahead and leave me, i deserve it, let me die alone here” crowley acting like he’s given so much to yuu, giving them a rundown dorm to live in ect ect

”on your own you won’t survive,” yuu literally having no where else to go. crowley convincing them that they can’t leave nrc

and of course, “mother knows best.” after all, crowley is the head mage for a reason, he’s doing this all in your best interest. /sarc

this is more fanfic / headcanon territory but you could also headcanon that crowley just tells yuu out of context stuff about twst that makes it seem a lot scarier than it is , like say yuu tries to like go somewhere that isn’t school related and takes advantage of the fact they’ve been through a lot of overblots and would in my opinion, have an understandable fear of a certain degree

with this headcanon I’d like you to consider the “also large bugs! men with pointy teeth and STOP! No more you’ll just upset me!” line. i mean u kinda already have ppl with pointy teeth here crowley but anyway it’s a shine of light at his hypocrisy in this . Also the fact that mother gothel says it so much like crowley please

yuu sketches instead of working on art fight the brainrot is real

Idia and self-sabotage

Disclaimer: This post talks about Idia’s tendencies to be mean, nasty and otherwise generally unpleasant. This isn’t in order to bash his character, and everything comes from an objective standpoint. If you do not like people talking about this side to him, this is not your post. You scare me.

In my opinion, Idia (whether consciously or subconsciously) often sabotages his own chances at friendship with the other characters. It’s common knowledge that he’s regularly quite insulting to the other characters, which leads to him gaining a pretty poor reputation.

Idia tends to group the other students as ‘normies’ and that him being an outlier makes him unrelatable. But in reality, the only side of Idia most characters have seen is the side that throws snide comments their way, including calling them stupid. (A major example of Idia having a good time ruined by himself is his Suitor Suit vignette)

It’s important to mention that Idia has multiple mental health issues, including a severe anxiety disorder. One thing I rarely see mentioned though, is the fact that he may be isolating himself on purpose due to poor MH, trauma or otherwise.

In book six, Idia makes it clear to Ortho that he does not feel able to be a ‘hero’, or make any friends due to his bloodline. Speaking of Ortho, pre-book six Ortho was purely mechanical. Ortho pre-book six was programmed by Idia to do what was best for him. And yet, Ortho still pushed for him to make friends, despite being solely an ai at the time.

To give another example, here is a line from Idia’s Culinary Crucible card:

This can be interpreted as Cater learning from his experience pushing Idia into socialisation. Idia takes offence that Cater thinks he’s ‘into anything as long as it’s anime’. In my opinion, however, this isn’t exactly fair on Cater. It’s safe to assume that Idia has not told Cater his interests, and this is simply an attempt at being friendly and making Idia feel welcome. Despite their similarities, Idia pushes him away. (Though, neither are aware of these similarities)

To simplify, I believe Idia avoids building bonds with people for a few core reasons: The anxiety of being known, and by extension, judged, The trauma of being unable to make friends due to his destiny, and the fact that it is so much easier to hate the world if it feels like the world hates you.

IM SCREAMING I JUST FINISHED CLOUD CALLING ON THE SAVANNA THEY REALLY JUST LEFT YUU AND JACK HELP MEEE

thinking about yuu’s friends back home. I don’t think people mention this enough what do the ppl back home think like I would have a panic attack bc what if they think I’m dead. like yuu comes home and they’re all like ecstatic because they thought yuu got murdered or something. I’d be so anxious about what my friends thought happened. the people you left behind. maybe yuu was in a band, maybe they were part of an after school club, maybe they just had a friend group of close friends. after that what happens? yuu’s been stuck in twst for like months, there’s no way no one hasn’t noticed, set up missing posters or thought they’re dead
