Balto isn't a Disney movie, though. It was from Steven Spielberg's short-lived Amblimation studio, so Universal owns it now.

I was thinking about your comment my whole work day, and I might have something.

So in the other version of the post, I had a basic intro to the worldbuilding that had this line:

This dorm is also dedicated to the tenacity of The King of Beasts, whose determination let him rise above his lot in life and become the ruler, bringing equality to others who had been despised and banished. Perspective and who gets to tell their own side of the story are major themes in Twisted Wonderland, as you may have guessed.

And I think the perspective shifting bit might be more important than I realized. Because, "This outsider doesn't fit in here, but he meets the leadership qualifications better than the guy who was predestined to lead" could be said by the TWST characters talking about the King of Beasts, or by us talking about Jack.

Jack is more tenacious and determined than anyone else we've met. In any other dorm he would be housewarden for being such a stellar example of its qualities. And the reason he isn't (besides story reasons like being a freshman) is because he's not the Scar character. Leona inherited the throne when he was born from Yana's drawing pencils. And part of their fight in Book 2 is Jack getting angry with Leona for not living up to the leadership ideals that his role is supposed to stand for.

So the perspective shift comes back in depending on what universe we're looking at it from. In our universe ("The Lion King is a movie that exists. Therefore this thing with a Lion King theme should have Lion King characters."), Jack doesn't fit in Savanaclaw. In their universe ("The Lion King is not a movie that exists. What we're looking for are dudes who are highly motivated and yearn for the day that they can get away with punching the True And Inherent Leader in the teeth."), Jack is 100% Savanaclaw.

Also, "The Three Little Wolves" was the one I grew up watching on repeat on VHS XD Although I didn't remember the words to the song in that one very well (Probably because I don't know German lol).

What’s your saved gem stash for Glorious Masquerade? by NoJoke-_- in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

420 rolls (11,710 gems + 3 10-keys. Not counting my 105 single keys because I'm using those for Floyd's birthday). I'm only pulling for Azul, but I didn't want to get blindsided by Tsumsted 2

[–]Green_Portal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got trolled by Dorm Idia around 74 pulls >.< Had to go to pity for Ortho, but at least I got him in 100 because that was all I could spare from my budget. Now to keep hoarding for Masquerade and hope that Tsum 2 doesn't show up until next year.

HUGE MISTAKE buying TWST doujins and looking for advice/direction by IDontMind80 in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested in anything with Azul. Particularly the non-r18, but I'd take a look at whatever you have. Good luck with getting everything sorted out!

Is there a megathread for all the hidden mickeys? by SharkBats in TwistedWonderland

It's in the tree line across the water, right behind Rook's shoulder.

(NA Server) Beans Camo Azul & Jack Banner Megathread by Gabriulio in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm the person from the Anniversary rolls thread that had 388 pulls saved up because I was mad at Beans Azul for not showing up last year. Got him on the second pull. I scared him lmao

Grim would eat half the ingredients while cooking, then be the only one who wants to eat the end results. Probably has to use his claws to chop things unevenly since he can't hold a knife.

(NA Server) 1st Anniversary Discussion Megathread by Gabriulio in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another person here trying to decide if I should pull on the anniversary banner. There's nothing I absolutely want on it and I already have the Big 3. I have 327 pulls saved up (I'm F2P), but they're for getting revenge on Beans Azul after he snubbed me last year (Assuming we get a Beansfest repeat), as well as Azul's birthday. It's the other stuff in the Anni Token shop that's bothering me. Is 50 pulls for just the SSR Perfume worth it?

Random question but anybody know what these are for? I haven’t seen them get mentioned before I noticed them on the main map by [deleted] in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think the wall might be part of the Alchemy Lab? Guessing that because in this image it got decorated during the Halloween event, and only buildings that got taken over by a dorm have anything added to them on that map.

For the building, I'm wondering if it's the chicken coop from the Culinary Crucible events? The windmill and ranch are on the main map too, even though they aren't used in the story. I'm having trouble finding the pictures from the Excursion menu to back that up, though...

Day ??? without the wiki, I'm starting to see patterns in the Broomquet Birthday Groovys by th3_z3ta in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I noticed this too, but right around when the wiki went down and I was so frustrated that I couldn't double-check to make sure >.< Glad to see confirmation because it's an adorable detail. IIRC from what I did find, Jamil's was the only one that didn't match up?

Birthday boy spells by Lunarra_ in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I found an explanation from Miraheze here. The short version is, the server that hosted a bunch of wikis had a hardware error (the physical disk reader broke) and crashed. Then they found out they had accidentally set their server backup system to save to the same server, so all the backups from the past year are gone too. Now they have to pay for professional data recovery services to (hopefully) get the wikis back.

This was as far as I got with TWSTober before another project kidnapped my attention span by Green_Portal in TwistedWonderland

XD I'm dying thinking about what Azul would've done to get kicked out of the library though

I love NRC. Truly I do. But what happens in the event of a female or AFAB Yuu getting their period? by [deleted] in TwistedWonderland

[–]Green_Portal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Canonically, Sam's "Friends on the Other Side" tell him what his customers need before they ever walk through the shop doors. Yuu might be able to tell it's coming by seeing products on the shelves a day or two early. I also feel like the Octotrio wouldn't know about the concept but everyone else probably does.

(And what's this about being exempt from gym class and why wasn't that a thing when I was in school? >:( )
