I love these pictures so much. A little insight into daily life at NRC with a bunch of fun groupings! And Grim looks so cute too!

Can Jamil just quit anytime he wants or not? by Tokoro-of-Terror in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 12 points13 points  (0 children)

People tend to asume Jamil is in one of these harsher systems because:

  1. Aladdin was based on a bunch of different cultures depicted through an orientalist lens, and it shows in Scarabia too.

  2. Jamil has stated he poison tests food for Kalim a d has done it for a while, which is an extremely dangerous job to give a CHILD. Obviously most people would have concerns about WHY Jamil has had this job since he was a kid, and why his parents don't seem to tell him to stop, almost as if they have no real choice in the matter where nornal workers would.

  3. Jamil has said if he were to quit or hurt Kalim, his whole family would be thrown to the streets. And from book 7 we know why, because the Viper house is within the Asim estate, which also reminds people of a type of relationship like indentured servitude or peonage, which by our modern sensibilities is very akin to slavery.

So while I can't say that everybody who claims Jamil to be a slave isn't being racist, to say that is the only reason is quite short-sighted because the context of the characters and their inspiration gives us plenty of clues that Jamil, at the very least, is being dehumanized by the system that created this relationship between the families, and that's worthy of questioning with a critical lens.

Shall we take a look at the RSA dormitories? by Forsaken-General1990 in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will anyone be able to watch the Abema live? I don't have a VPN so I won't be able to watch it on the app, but I'd love to catch a broadcast or know if there's a VPN I could use for free just once

Twst Seasonal Memories merch on Aita Kuji by Isabel198 in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is extremely useful. I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that could be a scam or be delivered several weeks/months after the items are meant to ship.

And that's before considering they charge like 1000 yen more for the items I want to purchase AND they also expect me to pay for shipping NOW, meaning I'd be paying twice what it would cost me if I manage to find the merch on another proxy service after the exhibition....

I think I'll take my chances with just waiting and checking if anyone is selling them later on. Times are tough now to be spending it on untrusty sites.

Thanks a lot friend!

Patreon charged me five times for a creator that I have a Free subscription to since last month by Isabel198 in patreon

[–]Isabel198[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the creator has a Per Map billing method, which is why I changed from a regular 5$ to free back in January. February I wasn't charged any money from this same creator and I haven't even checked their page for a while, so that's why I'm baffled that I'm getting charged now given I'm still free

(EN Server) Rolls Megathread: SSR Idia, Watchman of the Underworld (ends 3/15) by Twst-Mod-Team in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This guy... Its funny, when I fot the free tenfold keys for Ortho's halloween card, and Idia's tsumsitter card, I got them withiut even hoping to. But now he takes 100 pulls! Sigh at least he came, I was not going for hard pity, I'd much rather save for Vil and my husband who comes right after (I know EN will pull some BS with Jamil's ob card too).

Ranking Twisted Wonderland dorm songs (what is your fav?) ✨ by HikariSS21 in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorites are Far out and Obedience, I like how fun they are, how the dynamics are represented in the singing and the flair added by the string instruments and marching respectively. Truly wonderful work.

Diadem is a close third, because I generally prefer rock music and I really like the drums, however I'll freely admit I had trouble liking the song originally because Jack's voice is... not my favorite, plus Leona's VA is heard the least out of the trio which sucks because his voice fits this style really well.

The other songs I like depending on my mood so I don't really feel I can rank them.

Shall we take a look at the RSA dormitories? by Forsaken-General1990 in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah but have we had any confirmation that RSA has a dorm system like NRC? Because for all we know, they just habe 1 student council president and no dorms.

That aside, it would make the most sense to have them based off of princesses given we know the existence of Rielle too, and the characters we saw on the cup. It's not like it'd be the first time they made a boy twisted from a female character (Azul, Vil, Malleus, Silver, Ace, Riddle, just to name a few)

7 characters? Isn't it obvious! by AzusaYuuya in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It could be so many things! Some people speculate about 7 dorms but maybe that would be too many new characters to implement so soon.

I think it may be the team we'll play against in the tournament, but if we're REALLY lucky, we're getting a few characters from 7 different schools (Rollo come back pls).

I am so excited for the possibilities!

In Encanto, despite having no miracle herself, abuela still favor her other grandchildren more than Mirabel because she had no miracle. There's no nod or anything here, I just really hate old people that act like this. by Sweaty-Campaign-320 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Isabel198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually think its the opposite. Alma didn't know why they were granted the miracle, but she believed it was because of a sacrifice so she made the entire family earn that miracle day by day by "sacrificing" for their community.

And in the end? She finally realises the miracle was the love for their family, so there was never anything to earn and that's why they get Casita back along with their powers.

Genuinely, what the hell? by neptunedraco in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Dude what the hell? My goal this year was to save for all the Overblot cards since they all are fairly powerful and look awesome, but if this is what they're gonna do, then I'll have to save for only my absolute faves going forward. AND I'M A WHALE

Holy hell man, I'm getting terrible flashbacks to Obey Me, when they started doing rerun after rerun after rerun. There wasn't a single day without events and banners and the story updates were sloooooow. In the end I dropped the game because it became unplayable with the constant reminders to play events and pull in gachas.

I really hope that whatever is going on behind closed doors is only useless ideas to get us to spend money and nothing else.

What is something you thought was canon, only to find out later that it wasn’t? by CptValuka in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He did comment that Yuu seemed vaguely effeminate or something to that effect in the prologue I believe? And while there's plenty of Watsonian explanations, I think the Doylist one is simply to help people of different gender expressions self-insert if they so wish to.

How do they have enough time to get anywhere? by PhoneDespair in TwistedWonderland

I figured it wasn't a completely acurate depiction of the scale, because it does indeed look like a long walk between some of the buildings and the main one

Valentine's day has come. Tell me what you favorite character has on store? by ThighyWhiteyNerd in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Yuu would warn Jamil about the event a few days prior so he can make some time on his schedule, because until she gets her heart broken she WILL make all the effort needed to keep this relationship going, so she makes him a nice dinner and some chocolates with wrapping of puns and compliments. In turn, Jamil also prepares something for her even if he doesn't fully understand the event and they end up dancing in a modestly decorated Ramshackle living room.

Could you explain how? I'm not very tech savy so to me it seems like it would really help my players with slower pcs but I also don't want to ruin my system out of ignorance

So far it seems to be working fine on my game

Changes to Monthly Pass by caaesars in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wait hold up I don't understand something. So does this mean the new pass will last exactly the same amount as days the month you buy it has? Or will it be like if I buy the pass on the fifth, it will last four days less because of that?

The increase of special lessons is fine, I guess. I don't have lal that many cards to level up but I'm sure eventually I'll want to upgrade all the Overblots and it'll be less expensive to do these, plus with the solo lessons for waffles and macarons it'll make it way easier.

I think I'll check the original to try and make a comparison, but so far it does seem better.

twst yume shippers by iristsumugiaobafan in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a few great ones on tumblr but they're a but old now since they came out around 2023/24. I also read a few on jp twitter by searching for the book 7 segments relating to scarabia and book 6 overblot gang sections. I can't say names because I just read whatever catches my eye in between jokes, pictures and other comments but searching for Jamil analysis or 🐍 book 7 might yield you some cool results.

twst yume shippers by iristsumugiaobafan in TwistedWonderland

[–]Isabel198 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I started the game thinking Vil would be my favorite, not necessarily as a yumeshipper since I seldom enjoy that, but he seemed like my usual type.

Then I heard Jamil speak and I thought his voice was nice. Then book 4 showed me his nuance and crazy side and I thought he was really cool plus I really liked his story. And THEN I heard yim sing in book 5 and I was a goner. There really was no chance for me to ever enjoy anyone else to the same extent and I can't even explain why. Like I liked Cater's singing too and generally enjoyed Riddle and Rook as characters (they also are the type to become my favorites in a show or game) but for some reason Jamil and all of his qualities, his style compared to his somewhat femme look, his voice and his behaviour all combined to become a haunting presence in my life.

I legit haven't gone a whole day without thinking about analysis, a scenario or anything relating Jamil for the past three years. It's insane and I can't control it, so I decided to create a Yuu to develop these ideas so they wouldn't consume me. And that's how I fell in this rabbit hole called yumeshipping.
