Twst Theories - Tumblr Posts

IM IN UR ASK BOX AND IM FERAL

Another thing to note about Beastmen is the influence on culture, there are some music scores, art, architecture, and such that are commonly associated with Beastmen.

Rock cut structures found in Scalding Sands were made by Beastmen who commonly find themselves in the ground or making mounds/burrows, by making homes within the earth it provides both cooling and heating and even provide various benefits.

Damn so this day has come.

So do you know about these birds that nest like this

This also opens up about if mole beastman exist.Are there underground civilization of beastmen?Along with is there different materials in twisted Wonderland we know there's different fruits and plants.

For the music it can also depend on where there from.In one of Ruggie chats he enjoys upbeat lively music.Possible that the music is just play low and not super loud.Beastmen probably listen to there music on a low volume to not overwhelmed themselves.

I know @najmaviper did a very detail post on Beastman and The Afterglow.Which touches on the agriculture part better.(Don't trust my self don't know much about)

Just a Random Theory For Twst :)

Warning : english is not my native langunge okey :""")

Okey guys, I have a randon theory that, maybe... Malleus is intentionally to overblot. Because on Twisted promo art, Malleus walked toward the overblot pool? Or something? (Like yess... I still think that is overblot ink).

Like in this pict :

Like... MALLEUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WALK TOWARD THAT POOL!!!! And the others just stay still in there coffin. Well except Leona and Idia.

Im sure lot of you guys know the theory that Idia and Leona maybe team up (from yaoyaobae twitter) , because like yess... that sure make sense, because back from chapter 6, LEONA IS THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZE THAT HE WAS IN THE VIRTUAL WORLDD!!!!

And Idia, back from chapter 7 part 3, he realize that something is wrong. Bruhhh plisss Twisted... I just need answer, I DONT NEED SLEEP!!! 😭😭😭

Ekhem... like I just have the feeling, remember what Idia said, that when you overblot you got a buff for your magic and whatever if I remember it correctly, because English is NOT may native languange and I just a random person who like Twisted and try to understand the whole big plot and history of this magicly world 🙃🙃🙃.

Anyway, maybe because of this, Malleus planned to wrap the whole Sage Island to dreamland :))) (Lol I just called that dreamland) just like in Sleeping Beauty movie.

Omg what have I just write... forget this random thinking of mine 😭😭😭

Parallels between Zarkon/Honerva and Keith/Pidge!!!

Ok.. so... I was rewatching Voltron when I noticed some parallels between Zanerva and Kidge. These are just theories so nothing is canon but I noticed that there are many thing so similar and that's pretty strange...

The way they met each other.

We know that Zarkon met Honerva when she was doing experiments and studying the portals of the differents reality, and Zarkon saw Honerva for the first time thanks to her cat Koba.

Well... Keith and Pidge really met for the first time when they went on Arus and decided to be a team for save the universe. Personally, I don't think they had a talk when they resqued Shiro but that's not the point. The point is how they met: thanks to the lions which are made with the comet that can travel through realities. Lions and cats are felines, so the same family.

2. The person who they both know

Honerva knew King Alfor since school (as we see in her memories on s8), while Zarkon knew King Alfor since they did the alliance, but they had never met before the comet's discovery. King Alfor is an altean.

As we know, Keith knew Lance since the Garrison, and so Pidge, and I add one more: it was Lance that decided to follow Keith when he tried to resque Shiro, while Pidge followed Lance. But there's more... Allura gave Lance altean marks on s8, so he's in part altean now...

3. Quintessence

Just don't be scared...

We know that both Honerva and Zarkon were corrupted by quintessence: Honerva worked with it while Zarkon went in close contact upon entering the rift. Allura told us that quintessence awakened the violent and evil nature of Zarkon (As we will also see with Lotor and the paladins in s6).

In s1 we can see Pidge working on the Galra cristal, which is full of quintessence, while Keith he hit a container of quintessence while fighting a druid, spilling some on himself. Familiar right?

Well, someone would say that that quintessence just cured him, but we can see that Zarkon could breath in space without oxygen, and in s6 Keith, while he was fighting with Shiro's clone, was still breathing in space without his elmet. In the same episode, we can see his Galra form awaken, in fact he became more violent... Just a coincidence?

And... they both entered in the rift...

4. Family

Have you ever seen how much they were willing to sacrifice everything for their family?

I mean... Honerva literally destroyed everything while Zarkon betrayed his friends and team for save his wife...

Pidge was very determined to find her dad and Matt and, as we can see in s1 ep1, she countered the mission to search for them or otherwise find information about them. And It's not the only time she does this. In s5, when Zarkon wanted Lotor in exchange for Sam Holt, we see how she is willing to do anything to get her father back, yelling at Matt, Shiro and all her team mates; not to forget that in s1 she threatened to quit the team for the same reason.

Keith is also willing to sacrifice his life for the people he cares about, such as Naxela for example. Also in s8, while the team is in Honerva's mind, you can see very well how he tries hard to save Pidge in particular, shooting and hitting the surface with the bayard, then falling to his knees and surrendering in defeat.

5. The titles

Ok... Now let's think about it...

Zarkon was a Galra black paladin..

Keith was also a Galra black paladin...

Honerva was a scientist...

Pidge is also a scientist...

Both are a Galra black paladin and a scientist!

Also, at the end of s8, Keith said that the Galra wanted him as their leader, but he refused. If he had accepted, the parallel would have been somewhat worse...

6. Pidge as Honerva references

Also, we can see how much Pidge and Honerva look similar extriorly.

For example, when she was working on the Galra crystal on s1, but there's more! In s4, when she was searching Matt, she went on a planet for a merchant, and she was wearing a black hood at the time, similar to Honerva's…

And, on s5, when Hunk, Lance and Pidge programmed a robot for fun, made some selfies. In one, we can see Pidge wearing Honerva's hood...

And that's all guys. But these are just crazy theories of mine. One thing I really wanted to say is that English is not my first language so there must be some kind of mistakes and I'm sorry about that...

Back with some more thought experiments! This time, let’s talk about the actual worldbuilding of Twisted Wonderland. I mean, this is a completely separate world where fairytales and fantastical things actually exist. It’s functionally impossible for Twisted Wonderland to just be Earth plus some Disney sprinkled on top.

The biggest point that really gets me is that fact that methods to foresee the future exist. Astrology is a valid class in NRC and Yuu suffers from plot convenient prophetic visions. The mere idea that the future can be foreseen should have huge ramifications on how businesses and governments operate. Imagine knowing the effect of a deal or policy before it even happens. Or minimizing crisis by knowing about it before it strikes.

Magic should also affect technological development. We know that there was an age before magic was widespread among humans, thanks to Trein in GloMas. In that sense, I can see how up to a point technological development may be similar… but post-magic the technology should be different due to a different set of limitations.

Language is also an interesting topic. Setting aside things that humans probably can’t event speak like the Fae languages seen in game, what of the languages used in Twisted Wonderland? Would they be similar to Earth as a result of the Disney movies used to create its history? Does that explain why Rook speaks French?

This isn’t accounting for religion either. The Age of the Gods is a thing, drawing from the Hercules movie. That would mean that the Greek gods actually exist in Twisted Wonderland. So how did they fall out of worship? I mean, only Hades seems to be recognized anymore due to the Great Seven, and not even in a religious way.

Look, I’m going to hit the character count if I keep trying to list all of my questions. This is just all so fascinating! And true to my fixation on Yuu, this is all great content for exploring just how alien Twisted Wonderland must feel. Like, Yuu should honestly ask more questions. I don’t buy how easily they adapted in the game.

- 🦐

*cracks knuckles* Shrimp you have brought up stuff I've been thinking about for a hot second, I'm so glad you have come into my inbox ( ๑ ˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و ♡

I agree that I don't think Yuu would have adjusted as easily as they are depicted to in game, but this is a mobile app gacha game licensed by Disney so it's not going to focus as much on stuff like that. Luckily that's what we're here to do anyway~ I am going to go through these points one by one.

Point One: Astrology

The most we learn about how fortune telling works in game is from the Scalding Sands hometown event. There is an exchange between Cater, Trey, and Jamil about using coffee grinds to tell fortunes, and Trey specifically says something I think is interesting: we get two really interesting lines:

From what's said here we can tell two things: A) there is a distinct difference between types of fortunes and B) a distinct difference in the quality of fortune tellers. Someone like Cater is correct most of the time with his divination, but not everyone will be making actively relying on it for major decisions. I could absolutely see older kingdoms having a seer employed who a ruler could call on for supernatural advice, but I don't think that would be common practice in modern day Wonderland outside of maybe Briar Valley. Besides, just because you know something bad will happen doesn't mean you will be able to efficiently mobilize your forces in time to make a meaningful difference.

Speaking of which, not to touch on spoilers too much but Leven seems to be implied to posses the ability to actually clearly see the future, and as for Yuu's visions...

Well Lilia says he thought they might have a curse like Silver's (not that he knew why they were dizzy)... and the ability to see the future IS often handed out in Greek Myths as a curse, but well. Make of that what you will.

Point Two: Magi-Tech

The way technology works in Twisted Wonderland is a bit vague. From how Idia talks, I think there is a distinct difference between technology and magitechnology, with Idia specifically specializes in the latter. I actually went a really long time thinking that since Yuu hadn't a single trace of magic on them they wouldn't be able to ride a magi-wheel because of how Deuce talks about it syncing with your own magic and what not. Even magicless people in Twisted Wonderland don't seem to be completely magicless, they just don't have enough of a mana pool to actually cast a spell.

I think it would make sense to suggest magic and magitechnology probably affected Twisted Wonderland's development in the same way the silicone chip did ours, but the key difference would be that if you put too much magic into a device most humans can't use it. That would bring up a completely separate set of setbacks and issues... while there might not be a difference in the type of things built their internal construction would definitely be wildly different.

Part Three: Language

I think the easiest answer to this is yes. We know there is a "common" language that most places now use... I like to headcannon that language as being unique to Twisted Wonderland but I have seen some people think it is probably English. Which brings out my scrunchy face because the prevalence of English in our world is because of the British Empire... which never existed in Twisted Wonderland.

Rook speaks French because one of his favorite plays is set in Fleur City/the Shaftlands... which as a side note. In his Vampire card vignette he names the play that made him like Neige so much: Kingsroad~ The Sword to Become King!~ which is literally the Sword in the Stone based off of the little song he sings from it. I have been going crazy since GloMas thinking about if this suggests that King Arthur is french in Twisted Wonderland or if Rook is referring to another play... personally I think he's from Sage's Island but that's a crack for another post

Part Four: Greek Myths and Religion

There doesn't really seem to be any religious presence in Twisted Wonderland at all. It's unclear if Hades was ever worshiped or if he was just referred to as a god due to his perceived immortality and power. Given that there is something called the Jupiter group... and the Shrouds are a branch of the Jupiter family... AND that the Titans you fight in Chapter 6 are yelling about getting to and killing Jupiter... I think that it's highly likely there are events in Twisted Wonderland's history that correlate to the stories of the Great Seven, but didn't necessarily involve the Great Seven themselves. It's just that those events are remembered as having been done by them... for some unknown reason. Not to be conspiratorial... but do we have any proof they ever actually lived in Twisted Wonderland at all? (━＿━)ゝSure there are relics and things, and there are apparently paintings in the Land of Dawning Meusuem, but where did they come from? How old are they? I don't need sleep I need answers, is this a primary or a secondary source about the Queen of Hearts Riddle?

The End

I also wish Yuu would ask more questions, but I get why they don't :/ this is a gacha game blah blah blah but also. I don't think Yuu knows what questions to ask, there's a lot of stuff about life you don't think about as being abnormal until someone looks at you funny and I think Yuu realistically does a lot of that, but if you put every single instance of that into a game it would get very exposition heavy very fast. Luckily you, I, and everyone reading this have massive brains and can talk to each other about it!!!

I like how twst is a “game about villains”

Because it implies that everyone has the potential to be a villain or could be seen as one.

Even the prefect (essentially “you”)

I also like how it’s a matter of perspective too.

Everyone could be or is a villain.

Briar Valleys saw the humans as villains for invading them. The humans saw the fae as evil due to the rumors they heard and the magic they fear.

NRC sees RSA negatively because of the win streak and their goody act, and you could say some of the RSA students might feel the same way.

We have seen Rollo and his hatred of magic, but at the same time, it was magic that his brother loved.

All of this to say, it’s always about perspective.

Someone’s hero could be another person’s villain.

And we kind of see how that plays out right now, especially in book 7.

In the future, we might see the reverse as well. How RSA, the heroes, are villains too.

I just find this play on perspective interesting.

Two mirrors and two images, the same and yet different.

Like Mickey and the Prefect.
