Summary of my thoughts on all the New Stuff after talking about it since I woke up:
The new letter is not Clancy at all to me. Sure, a few parts of it SOUND like him, I'll give you that. But what new information have we gained from this letter, really? Not the other pages, not what the Bishops wrote. Just the Clancy letter.
Clancy is standing at the edge of the water, thinking about this new power that he now wields. He knows he must cross back over the water and head back to Dema to enact a plan.
It is a very watered-down version of the last handwritten letter that we got from Clancy. We know from the Evidence note on the side of the most recent letter that this was a transcription. However, I believe that this is not a one-to-one transcription. They took his words and changed them to suit their own needs.
They took out the parts where he was unsure of the power that he now has. His questions, his talks of his experiences- everything that humanizes him is gone, leaving only the sentiment of "I have this power. I'm stronger than them, and I am going to use it."
It uses/references old gimmicks- gimmicks that the Bishops would be aware of if they knew of Clancy's letters. The doubling up of the letters to communicate something. "Their compass lies". To me, they are looking back at old letters and trying to copy the style to produce something new.
Interestingly enough, it also removes any and all mention of the Banditos. Clancy can outsmart the Bishops. Clancy stands there, at the shore. Clancy's left "embers of inspiration". The difference in the lines "This new power of psychokinesis worked, and I believe it can work again." of this new letter vs. "We both believe that we can use it [psychokinesis] to change the momentum of this war." of the old letter shows this best.
The Bishops have removed the Banditos from the narrative entirely, giving the citizens of Dema a singular enemy to fear. They want to point fingers at this singular entity, someone who can harness this new power. They know that people have noticed Clancy. They know that they've read his letters. This is all just more propaganda, created to discredit him. It's a smear campaign.

Apparently much-needed reminder that reposting artists' art (by saving the images or screenshotting them and reuploading them yourself) on other platforms without the artists' expressed permission and without credit is theft and an insult to their passion and craft. You are profiting (in views, in attention, in feedback) from someone else's work and ideas, who do not get that feedback for sharing their creation.
If you are an art reposter, you are a thief and I have no respect for you.

azula as zuko’s evil advisor is so funny to me i actually fuck so hard w this concept. she gives zuko advice and then zuko looks across the room to sokka and sokka just discreetly gives him a thumbs up or thumbs down. one weekend sokka, aang, mai, toph, suki, katara, and anyone else who might have a modicum of common sense all go out of town for like. omashu coachella or smth. and when they come back the entire palace is in shambles, zuko’s just sitting on his throne shinji style, and he’s just like “i’m so sorry….. her advice seemed so cogent….. she made trickle down economics seem so reasonable……. why weren’t you there….. YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE, GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!” while azula slyly sips from a cunty chalice she had personally made just for moments like this.

I'm either extremely stupid and never saw them (most likely) or there were new unused lines added to the game (???)
This one was might have already been there(?) and I just didn't see it since its the hologram with less filter. Unsure if this is new.
THIS ONE?
and then 2 lines for if you really did "turn back now".
act II taunt (this was deleted from the wiki for some reason)
what the.
These were all added to the wiki on Jan 4th 2024. Except for the unfiltered hologram one which isn't mentioned on the wiki at all.
these are the file names btw

so we know you love diasomnia endlessly, but who is your favorite character from each of the other dorms
this is SO hard to answer, because so many of the characters are, like, those pet adoption ads that say "MUST STAY TOGETHER, CANNOT BE SEPARATED". it's all about the relationship dynamics! and I think everybody in the main cast is pretty neat, honestly; there isn't anyone who doesn't have something I really like about them. but if I haaaaad to choose...
Hearts - Trey, partly because I do like me a good Mom Friend™ character, and partly because he pretends like he's all sane and normal, right up until he does something to prove he's just as much of a dipshit as everyone else. you're not immune, sir.
Savana - BUFF 👏 TSUNDERE 👏 WEREWOLF 👏
Octa - this one took a lot of soul-searching, because I do feel like the Octatrio is at their very best when it's all three of them, especially when they're in full Ed Edd n Eddy mode. but in the end, Jade ekes out a win, because sometimes you get this Jade:
and then when he gets back from his nice mushroom-foraging hike, you get this Jade:
Scara - Kalim, my sweet little moron. such a good heart, so few braincells.
Pome - 90% of the time when Rook shows up, you know it's going to a be fun time watching a silly little man dance around and break into song for no reason and wax poetic about the beauty of, like, a chair. always a delight!
except every once in a while, he'll bust out something that is absolutely insane even by Twst standards:
this isn't a complaint, it's just. why is he like this. I want to study him under a microscope, except I'm afraid of what I might find.
Igni - MUST STAY TOGETHER! CANNOT BE SEPARATED! ...but I would probably go with Ortho, just because right now I'm pretty invested in his Learning Emotions story arc and looking forward to seeing it progress. he's a good boy who will post your cringe fanfic publicly if you annoy him
...and at this point I'm calling technicality because the ask says "other dorms", and I genuinely do not think I could choose between the Dia boys at this point. let's see how episode 7 goes first!
