#A PAST UNKNOWN

[bl-bam-beyond]

HAPPY MERRY ENDING (2023, SOUTH KOREA)

Episode 2 Part 1

The very reserved and cautious Seung Jun (the amazing LEE DONG WON) has allowed soju to lower his defense mechanism with a guy he seems to like in Jae Hyun (BYUN SUNG TAE). Jae Hyun is definitely smitten with Seung Jun. One a wedding host (piano player) and the other a gifted wedding singer.

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

#twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 4 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 4 spoilers #mel is so cute but mal fits with the rest of the draconias better #eng version no you were supposed to save me not make things MORE confusing #anyway raverne huh #that uh. that sure feels like it's supposed to evoke raven doesn't it. #what does it mean WHAT DOES IT MEAN #hold on i'm going to flail around embarrassingly about anime character theories now #(okay first a disclaimer: i do think we need to sit down as a fandom at some point) #(and have a discussion about exactly what is actual canon versus meta speculation versus jokes) #(because i think there has been. some confusion. over that re:crowley and raverne specifically) #(but i do feel justified in being like THEY ARE PROBABLY CONNECTED SOMEHOW RIGHT?! right now) #like i really don't think it's as simple as crowley being raverne but with memory loss or something #(and if they pull that on us i'm going to need an EXTREMELY good explanation to go with it to justify that) #they've gone out of their way several times now to make a point about them acting and sounding different and it feels very intentional to m #(and once again: i super 100% absolutely do not believe that lilia wouldn't recognize him with the top half of his face covered) #i just think the contradictions are a lot stronger than the connections right now but there ARE some connections and i'm 👀ing at them #to be fair the connections are mostly meta like crowley being diablo/raverne being evocative of raven #also the general 'raverne mysteriously disappeared and apparently had distinctive eyes' thing #versus 'crowley's past is unknown and he never shows his eyes' #(i will argue that crowley DOES seem to have some kind of canon connection to briar valley) #(since he is clearly some sort of fae and the masks are a briar valley thing) #and that is kinda it right now isn't it #okay hold on i had to delete some tags because i used too many (thanks tumblr for letting me know and not just vanishing them OH WAIT) #so tl;dr: i'm in the 'crowley is connected to raverne somehow but it's more complicated than just him being in disguise' camp personally #but that will probably change as we get more info and also don't take this as an anti-speculation thing because i love theories HOORAY

this line here is chefs kiss because coupled with that tinge of jealousy in his voice, qian is calling yuan by his full name. Wei ZhiYuan, the "yuan that belongs to wei"

#unknown the series #unknown series #qian x yuan #i havent thought about anything else the past 3 days #okay maybe past 10 days counting last week #but the feels are so intense #the last time i felt this urgent need to watch the next ep might have been after ep 6 of history trapped

Bonus:

Yayoi Niijima as Zelda and Unknown Girl as Link from A Link to the Past Commercial (see here)

Diane Burns as Zelda from cutscenes in Zelda's Adventure

Annie Ward as Zelda and Unknown Person as Link from top down view of Zelda's Adventure

(These people do not speak in their roles, but they are listed as having played the characters, so I thought I'd make a bonus post with them.

Because of this, I am not posting the usual videos showing what their voice sounds like.

However, if you are interested, you can search Yayoi Niijima and find songs by her. For the other actors, you can't really find anything about them.)

@creator-kami​ and I made a big discovery last night that cannot be unseen and I can’t believe what I once joked about in my head might actually be true. This isn't the first time that's happened, but if I had to point this out and realize it, you all need to see it, too. So, y'all see the zippers on his sleeves? Yea, it's easy to think that zipper is for the jacket itself, but it's not. Kami cleaned up one of the old promotional art pieces.

Unknown has zippers on his jacket sleeves. His jacket has been a two-in-one this entire time. His jacket can become sleeveless. He's got the ability to not only make that jacket breathable when it's hot, but he chooses not to in the name of the off-the-shoulder style. What am I supposed to do with this information other than share it with all of you so you can be trapped in this moment with me?

I can’t speak for Scarlet players since I haven’t played it yet but at least in Violet. I feel like the Paradox Pokemon from Violet are more…terrifying? Because in Scarlet they’re from the past, they’re just a little more beastly and wild, they’re from an era that’s already happened so it’s been recorded. There’s at least some assumption as to what life was like back then, what Pokemon were like. And we KNOW what they become in the present day, the sorts of Pokemon they naturally evolve into over the centuries. But when you look at Violet’s Paradox Pokemon…they’re from the future. An era yet to be, something unpredictable, something unseen. And looking at the Pokemon themselves—they’re all machines. Robots, made of chrome and mechanical parts, not entirely “living” beings anymore. And that fucking terrifies me. What happens in that distant future that makes it so all Pokemon look like this? Do Pokemon cease to exist in that time, so humans turned to the next best option, that being a replica of Pokemon? Or did something so awful happen to humanity that Pokemon were forced to evolve into machines just to survive??

I’m not saying Scarlet’s concept of Paradox Pokemon isn’t scary, because looking at it, it definitely has a theme of “wild, untamed and unknown eldritch creatures” which is also pretty horrifying. But obviously things were all rougher and tougher back then, and as people evolved and humanity evolved, so did Pokemon, so they were tamed by humans over time. But the FUTURE Paradox Pokemon…what the fuck happened. Why do they look like that. Why are they naturally violent creatures, if they were made by humans. It feels much more jarring to be walking around in Area Zero seeing regular Pokemon and then robots roaming around along side them rather than Pokemon and some cooler, rougher looking Pokemon. Am I making sense. Lol

#Pokemon #Pokemon SV #Pokemon SV spoilers #Pokemon Scarlet and Violet #Shima speaks #Paradox Pokemon #IDK JUST THE WHOLE ‘UNKNOWN FUTURE’ THING FREAKS ME OUT MORE. But maybe that’s just me #Idk ancient past with powerful eldritch creatures is also scary. They’re BOTH scary #Which is why they pull it off SO well. Area Zero feels eerie and tense and just altogether Mystical

actually; i get why everyone is disappointed with the sequencing of the beginning, the shift. and i agree 13829%

Book spoiler: in the novel, it's paced nicely and really given it's time. they dont end up going all the way after the first kiss too. and that kiss, akdjas, it is upsetting they dint flesh it out better. the part where, qian realizes he doesn't even know how to kiss properly, yuan snapping out of his stupor of being caught off guard and going in, the waist grab, and subsequent thoughts going off in qian's head (awareness of lack of flexibility, waist being strung like a bow etc etc.) idk, those were really significant imo.

#it was a little less rewarding in the show the way it played out #tho after the excruciating wait i dint even mind at the time of watching past my initial confusion >_< #unknown the series #chris chiu #kurt huang #thingamabob #aa mine

TWST JP IM SHAKING YOU SHAKING YOU SHAKING YOU

I HOPE THEY /ARE/ GOING TO BE VISITING DREAMS

IT LOOKS LIKE IT’S ROOK’S??? OR MAYBE WE STILL VISIT ALL OF THEM IT’S JUST THAT ROOK’S GET THE SPOTLIGHT because if i were to assume i FEEL like the one with the card has some sort of important relationship with the overblotter

(i’ve seen that the next updates will probably go dorm by dorm???)

i have ZERO basis for this bc we dont see the pattern yet until we get to scarabia’s LMAO

ghhh honestly whatever the fuck twst jp will be cooking for scarabia’s flashback/dream card i will most certainly be losing my mind

#[— #twst jp #twst jp spoilers #twst book 7 #★ twst rambles #—] #i’ve seen people say housewarden jamil #and that’s honestly a cool idea #but if we’re doing dreams that involve past memories #i feel like those cards will just be flashbacks??? #OH #and the possibility that we maybe we get the sprites for the still unknown silhouettes for the overblot flashbacks??? #baby kalim and jamil where #jamil’s parents where #pls 🙏🙏🙏

Role reversal/balance of power between Wei Qian and Wei Zhiyuan as seen through camera language/shot composition

EP 1-6 Wei Qian is seen at a higher position of "power" than Yuan; EP7 and on that is reversed

EP 1: Wei qian is placed much higher than yuan in the scene. This shot of wei qian is almost god-like. There is light coming from his direction. In yuan's eyes he is the pillar, his savior, lending a hand down to pull him out of darkness.

How many times throughout EP 3-6 can they show us the worshipping at your feet, I am at your beck and call position? Wei qian very much sits in the role of an older brother/guardian, and yuan is often placed to be looking up at him. They are not yet on the same level.

------

Wei Zhiyuan returns and he's in control

After EP 7, we get more top-down shots of Wei qian, making him look more vulnerable. He's often looking up at yuan.

And Yuan towers over him.

------

Their position on the slope during the EP10 confession scene is telling

Yuan is at the taller end of the hill. He is in control of this conversation. He asks the questions while Wei qian fumbles to explain.

Wei qian is standing on the lower end of the slope so he has to look even further up at yuan. He's in a vulnerable position as he finally confesses his feelings.

But in the end, their positions reverse:

In this moment, Wei qian holds the power to make a choice. And he finally takes that step forward and grabs onto yuan.

#unknown the series #unknown series #qian x yuan #i am going to comb through the entire show #still deciphering this last confession scene #because wei qian says what he's thinking for once but then we dont know what yuan is thinking #anyways these things are deliberate #i think my new favorite past time is psychoanalyzing wei qian #like it used to be axu LOLOL

I still miss the era before prequels when the clans were implied (or at least you could imagine them) to be ancient before later books all but confirmed the clans are only around like...less then a century old??

imagine if the dotc cast was having run-ins with ye olden english peasants or something and dodging around horse drawn carts. a different world could have been a fun change of pace. or at least potentially really funny. but nooo we just HAVE to have cars around, how else will we quickly fridge unneeded love interests

#like. i guess this is just a result of pumping out books so fast you dont want to try to organize any major differences in the world #yarrow speaks #wc criticism #this also creates a problem of leaving so little room for stories in the past to exist #like skyclan was close to losing their land before skystar died #and they were still present in mapleshades vengance #which is only like 25 years before the prophecies begin #that actually made it look like the clans would be like 50 years old MAX but Into The Wild #i guess thats just a fuck up but seriously they keep shrinking the available unknown time and i dont like it #warrior cats

“Boss,” you approach Unknown, obviously ready to complain to your heart's content. He knows this game very well by now, for all the times you've made him play it. Actually, when Unknown thinks about it, he supposes that you’ve never really been in any position to make him do anything. If he didn’t want to listen to you, then he wouldn’t have to. 

“What?” he spits, humoring you regardless of his disinterest in wherever you think this conversation is going. After all, sometimes your rambling turns out to be quite entertaining, and occasionally, you want to bring his attention to something which is actually relevant to his revenge. 

“I'm bored of working,” you announce, as if that means anything. “Do you wanna see how much I got done?” 

He narrows his eyes, making one final click before he resigns himself to stepping away from his revenge for a moment. It's annoying that you keep on distracting him— Unknown never expected this when he decided to keep you as his assistant. If he'd known you'd be so rowdy, maybe he wouldn't have held onto you this way, but as it is, he's kind of stuck with you. He can't send you back to where he got you from— even though he's fairly certain that you wouldn't intentionally breathe a word about him to anybody, there's always the possibility that those liars could find you and torture the answer out of you. After all, if the benevolent Savior is willing to try something like that on her believers, Unknown shudders to think about what sorts of things might go on in the world of the RFA. He can't cleanse you, either— with your general weakness and anxiety, which he doubts would be eliminated by the elixir of salvation, Unknown gets the feeling that you wouldn't last an hour as a believer. Ultimately, he has no choice but to keep you here.

Strangely, he finds he's more productive now that you force him to take these little breaks, as you call them— probably because he has to work even harder to catch up in between, but more productive is more productive. Unknown would do anything to be able to bring that redhead to ruin faster, though that doesn’t mean he’s pleased to be wasting his time on something so inane as your fragile feelings. 

“You're bored?” He coos, continuing to humor you. Inane or not, those feelings of yours are fun to play with.“Oh, you poor thing. Then come here, and I'll make it better, hm?” Unknown turns to face you now, making sure that you get a good look at his wolfish grin. 

You must know that it's a trap. You're probably not the smartest person in the world, but Unknown is familiar enough with you by now to know that you’re nowhere near as foolish as he initially expected you to be. “Mmm,” you hum, slipping into his embrace and clinging to him like you actually think you're going to get anything out of this. Maybe Unknown should consider revising his assessment of your intelligence, after all. Or maybe... you know it's a trap, but you like it anyway. Strange. “Thank you.” You really sound like you mean that, like you actually think that Unknown is going to let you off the hook so easily. He saved you specifically so that you could help him with his work, and you don’t get to quit on him just because you’re sick of it. 

Now that he has you in close proximity, Unknown leans in to whisper in your ear, “You don't get to be bored of working, cutie. Since you can't do it on your own, I guess you can just help me with my task instead, hm? What a handful you are.” He feels you smile against his chest, and, not for the first time, Unknown wonders whether he is actually the one in control.

“You want me to just look at the screen?” You ask, clearly trying to restrain your excitement. You really are strange, if that’s something you’re looking forward to. 

“Yes,” Unknown replies, “Turn around and look at the screen.” You do as you’re told, and Unknown feels relieved. He’s still the only one in charge here— of course he is, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

i'm literally pleading BEGGING on my knees for gcrest to explore a bit more cozmez's past and their relationship with their mother to understand what they went through as kids. like okay we know their mom was a prostitute and was abusive with them ... and then what

literally all we know about it is from the ain't no love lyrics. but i just wish we could get flashbacks of little cozmez, a pov of their lives back then... i want past interactions with their mom SO BAD it would give a huge insight on their trauma. i remember how they mentioned them being kicked out every time their mom had a client at home and they were only four. FOUR YEARS OLD !!!!! i can't believe gcrest never developed this topic further :/ i'd rather see that than them arguing about something for the nth fucking time

#another reason why i really want them to talk about cozmez's past again is because... people kinda underestimate it? #especially fans who got into paralive through the anime cause there was no cozmez insight AT ALL they're just poor orphans. nothing else #it's also very important to know that to understand their current relationship better... what made them who they are now #i'd also LOVE for their father to be mentioned cause it's kinda sick these kids have an unknown father and - #- never cared about even searching for him ???? there's still a lot to unpack i think #paradox live #paralive #cozmez #kanata yatonokami #nayuta yatonokami
