So You Want To Watch Lifesteal

It’s happened. You’ve been seeing your mutual/followed blog reblog posts about this SMP called “Lifesteal” that apparently has some sort of gay clown? You’re intruiged. Well, couldn’t hurt to check it out, right? Maybe the gays got to you. Maybe you’ve seen the crystal demon. Maybe you’ve just seen some sick art. Whatever it was, you’ve seen something that prompted you to go “huh. maybe i should check this thing out!”

Now you’re wondering- so how do I watch this thing? Where do I start? What’s it about? Never fear! You’re in exactly the right place! Here’s the post that will walk you through how to get started watching this Lifesteal SMP thing (and maybe joining in Tumblr’s collective brainrot).

What Is Lifesteal? Let’s start with the basics. Lifesteal is a Minecraft SMP- okay. Maybe not that basic. I’m sure you know the drill. So what’s the “thing” with Lifesteal, then? What’s it all about?

Lifesteal’s premise is that when you die, you lose a heart off of your permanant health bar. This one!

Now here’s the twist that makes it fun: when you kill another player, you get their heart. So if you’re both on ten hearts, and you kill someone else, their healthbar will drop to nine and yours will increase to eleven!

This is why you see so much heart imagery in fanart, and why if you see screenshots/watch videos, their health bars are rarely at ten hearts. Pretty simple, right? 

Yep, mostly. Some other things you should know about the life system are that players can choose to “withdraw” their hearts, which means they remove hearts from their health by choice. They appear as nether stars in a player’s inventory. This feature is typically used for trading hearts (although usually a little more… violent) and giving hearts to allies- hearts can be stored and thrown like normal items, and a player can use the item to add a heart to their health bar (the item will vanish from their inventory).

And of course once you reach zero hearts, you’re banned from the SMP. That’s it, it’s over. Unless someone chooses to revive you. That’s pretty rare though, so mostly 0 hearts = death! 

But in the cases where players are revived, it’s with the use of a special item that looks like a beacon, crafted with 4 nether stars, 4 hearts, and an elytra. Hearts in this case can function like nether stars- you can use 8 hearts and an elytra to craft the beacon. It’s very expensive, which is why it’s not used often.

Okay, great! So where do I start watching? So first, you’ll want to know that Lifesteal has four seasons so far- no! wait! don’t let that scare you off! please come back! Phew, okay. You’re still here? Alright! I was just about to tell you that you don’t have to watch them in order, don’t worry! You can start on Season One, but you really don’t need to. Most people start on Season 3 for The Gays™️ or Season Two for Clownpierce.

The most common recommendation you’ll see for new viewers is to watch Clownpierce and Branzy (yes, they’re the gays your dash won’t shut up about). Branzy doesn’t appear until Season 3, though, and he only has 6 Lifesteal episodes (find them here). Clown’s been here a bit longer, and you can find his videos here. Oh, and here’s the s3 branzypierce playlist.

What’s Branzypierce? Branzypierce, also known as Clownzy, is the ship name of BranzyCraft and Clownpierce. They’re the most popular ship here in the fandom, because it’s basically canon. I wish i was joking. Just. Click this.

But if you’re not interested in just Clown and Branzy, or you’ve already watched them and looking to find more people to watch, then keep on reading! There’s plenty more below. Before we get into it, if you want a list of s3 events and how to watch them, look no further than this post. And keep in mind, most Lifesteal videos are self-contained enough that you can watch them without prior knowledge! You almost don’t even have to watch anyone’s series in order from what I’ve found.

Starting us off, just. Ashswagg. Communism and God. I really can’t explain him to you just please go watch it. It’s only three videos I promise. 

Okay, okay, now go HERE to find more channel recommendations. I would link them below, but it’d just be copying the post. my personal advice: rekrap for escapes, clown for pvp, parrot for strategy, yeahjaron for minecraft farms, reddoons for capitalism, ashwag for communism/god, and branzy for the gays! have fun!

Side note: I would not reccommend you start with this, but if you want to here is all of S3 in order!

And oh, hey! Exclusive, just for you! Here’s a quick post with other fun duos besides Branzypierce!

What about Season 4?  You may have noticed that all the links led to S3 playlists. Good job! That’s because S4 has just started and there’s not much content. Before you get into S4, you should know there’s a new system implemented that limits the armor and tools players can get- info here. 

Now how to watch it? The s4 playlist, or go here! It’s got everything you need. There’s not much so far, though, so I wouldn’t try to watch it if you’re just looking to get into Lifesteal in general! Watch s3 to get content!

Do any of them stream? Yes! Not all of them do, but there are a good few Lifesteal streamers. First up, ItzSubz has Something going on over there, so go check that out. And Don Turnt streams Lifesteal fairly often. Not sure if any of the others stream regularly, but here’s the list of all their channels!

Alright, so where do I go for Tumblr content? Woo, you’ve been dragged in! You’ve checked out a couple videos! Now please, step right up to a list that is rapidly growing as Lifesteal skyrockets in popularity here on Tumblr!

Looking for incredible art? Our two main dedicated and amazing artists are @kishdoodles and @ghostpajamas​, who are probably responsible for dragging most of us here (/lh! thanks guys! you’re awesome!)

If you have questions or want to know more about Lifesteal, I’d reccommend Ghost and @branzypierce​, who I will never stop promoting as our resident experts. I’ve heard @rendogdomesticated​ also knows quite a bit, especially when it comes to Subz!

(a/n: please add onto this list! the four users i’ve linked are the blogs i know of who i see posting Lifesteal content and who know more in-depth information about Lifesteal. I will add more blogs to this list, and I’m very sorry if I missed anyone!)

That’s it, folks! I’m sure more information will be added to this post as is needed! Anything I should add? Let me know!

Career astro observations | pt.2

Decided to come back with the second part cause many of you liked them and wanted a next part.

And yes this is a Tears of Themis themed post cause im currently obsessed

Pt.1 | Masterlist of the series

• Taurus MC: I said i would keep you as my first note on the next part anon and im keeping my promise. What i have to say about taurus mc is that you guys may find working both as a runaway and hell. I dont think i even need to say how most of you give your everything even in occupations you dont really love. Thats because you put a bet with yourself that you will not let anyone find a weakness in your work ethic. Even though you can be lazy or procrastinating, YOU HAVE SUCH A PRIDE IN NEVER LETTING ANYONE ELSE BUT YOURSELF SAY THAT OUT LOUD. I could see you guys everywhere honestly. I just hope you choose sth you like cause i feel like you may become very moody around your colleagues when you do sth that you dont like and it shows in your behaviour a lot.

• Lets go over little descriptions for the ruler of your 10th house in other houses:

10H ruler in 1H: People see you as a professional right away. There is a feeling that people have around you where they sense that you desire status and have an occupation you are passionate and AMAZING at. Im going to be honest that you guys actually attract so much good attention as authority figures. People see you as a leader so they wouldnt mind listening to your advices.

10H ruler in 2H: The main goal you want from your career is literally the money. You want to feel safe with the income you have. I dont see you guys ever daring to get out of your comfort zone WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR OCCUPATION. You just take your job very seriously and it is actually funny cause many of you may be so focused and stable in your work but be the most unpredictable and wild person when it comes to your personal life. When people ask for your opinion and even for answers, you feel very nice. You will your self esteem rise so high because of seeing that people around you, recognise you as a strong base in the occupation you will follow

10H ruler in 3H: When seeing this placement, i always picture people that look to make many connections and links with other people. You guys TEACH. Idk what profession many of you will choose, but through that, your speech and opinions is just so evident and important to others. You may have noticed that you have been the parent in all social groups in your life (your siblings, your friends, your classmates,...). You are in a different level even when you write or speak about matters in your job.

10H ruler in 4H: I can say that encouragement, praises and words from loved ones have a big affect on you as to what you will want to do. Some of you may follow career suggestions your family says or do the complete opposite they say AND THAT DEPENDS solely on how your parents express their opinion on this matter. You guys are oftenly known for bringing your profession at home. So you guys may oftenly work from home or you just feel more productive in the comfort of your house so you even bring your occupation at. You guys are always thriving to learn. Many see you as a nurtured or protector.

10H ruler in 5H: Arts, athletics, children, dance, music, creativity, risk taker. You guys make a carrer out of your hobbies. You want to be known for your creativity, your individuality, how unique you are. You want to be the first in whatever you do. You like making the biggest impression to others when it comes to your occupation. Yes bitch, you want to be the centre of attention in your occupation. Just be careful not to become too cocky or bossy to others. You probably have some sort of talent in arts

10H ruler in 6H: You guys excell in something FOR SURE. You are known as a hard working person when it comes to your occupation. There is a specific field that you will surely become the best in. I hope most of you have discovered it cause you just have so much to give through your occupation. Many of you may do occupations surrounding animals. Or even as activists. Healthcare too. I think most of you are VERY practical minds. You combine the mind and the body. Also, even though i say you are known as a hard work, that potential actually depends on the work environmenr you are in. If you are in a place that doesnt motivate you, you guys will be less passionate to complete the work with the same energy as you would in a working environment that inspires you

10H ruler in 7H: Your profession involves working with others and i can say your success a lot on the people you surround around you. Be careful of which people you have in your life. Stop making people sth they are not cause it may take away important opportunities in your life as you try to convince yourself some people are what you want them to be. Learn which people are actually a good influence on you. Not everyone is meant to stay in your life SO CHOOSE WISELY. Btw you guys like having the upper hand in your relationships and you also like to have the same ambitions and goals in life as your partner, thats why many times you may get involved with lovers where you feel you are wasting your time...

10H ruler in 8H: your carrer needs to be unpredictable, sth that is undiscovered, that has a lot more digging to do. You dont want a 9 to 5 job where you will just do a standard stuff. You want sth that will always intrigue, sth that you dont know what tomorrow holds for. Will it be a success or a fail? You dont know and thats why you want to do it even more. This may have a negative impact of you guys changing many occupations and ik you may go through disappointments because of them but you wont give up cause yknow you are searching foe that job that will always keep you excited to dig in the mysterious and unknown.

10H ruler in 9H: You choose a career that allows you to expand. That can be either literally, metaphorically or both. You search for the higher meaning, you want to find out a reason and a meaning in your career. Your occupation isnt just the mean for you to make money and live, you want it to be meaningful and important to the world. Having status and recognition gives you so much more strength and motivation in life. Also, you never do sth that is against your values, beliefs and religion. Whatever you will follow, you want to create on your own, with your own abilities and skills. If its to succeed, its to succeed because you actually have talent. You are prideful but in the most praisable way honestly.

10H ruler in 10H: Getting out in the world and making a name for yourself. You love the status and recognition. WE NEED IT ACTUALLY. And yes i have this placement and i can see why it suits me so much. Lets spill the beans for us. We want to reach the top of our profession, we like to do well and we like for it to be awarded. We want to be known for sth. We actually benefit a lot with the relationships we have with authority figures. In our occupations, people of higher position are actually fond of us and thats cause of our devoted nature. We are most likely to be known for our achievements, but i have to admit that many of us are late bloomers.

10H ruler in 11H: your occupation has to do around other people. You like to be around people that are teamworkers. I can see many of you advancing in your career due to some friendships. Even businesses with friends, nonetheless you will get at the top with the help and cooperation of other people. You are the type of people that want to reorganise our whole society. You are the ones that see all the negative our society has and you just want to reform every single standard and expectation. You may want to be an authority figure but you are honestly capable of changing the whole definition of what an authority figure is. You are you and you dont want to change even for your career. You embrace your Uniqueness and individuality. You guys may have many people secretly admiring you. If you guys get famous, you can have such a strong fanbase- HAHAHAHA But you are the people that will use their fame to help social issues and problems SO I STAN

10H ruler in 12H: You guys find comfort and healing in your career, you seek to find an escape and getaway to your issues and honestly your occupation will actually help you release this grief and pain you are holding in. You are very caring and everyone can sense it. There is sth fragile and sensitive about you that people just want to cherish and protect. I can say you guys are very reluctant to the idea of being the centre of attention or the top of your game. But im going to be honest that you should stop hiding cause even though you are scared for this exposure, thats how and when you will evolve. Keywords in mind for you are, spirituality, hospitalisation, meditation, paranormal, psychology, mentality and an occupation where you are at most comfort when you work alone

• If you feel stuck about what you truly want to do, i will strongly suggest you guys focus on getting to understand your Moon placement more! And by more i dont necessarily mean your moon persona chart. I mostly mean the house placement of the moon, the sign of the moon and the main aspects your moon has. I will give a small example but if you ever want me to go deeper into it, let me knoww

Small example:

Moon in Aries: Be the main character, be your own person, be known for who you are and not to ever get influenced by ither people's opinions

Moon in Taurus: Be your own comfort character, find safety and love, find life and meaning in other things apart from material, find a place that will build your fragile self-esteem

Moon in Gemini: Confront your social anxiety, speak more about your emotions and feelings, more communication than overthinking, and a more straightforward approach to matters than creating riddles

Moon in Cancer: Find a family in the people you meet, protecting your sensitive heart, learn who's words to take at heart, accept constractive critism, accepting the care and love of others, not just giving it to others

Moon in Leo: you want to learn how to love yourself first, stop the constant need of praise and attention to make you feel valid, express your creativeness and uniqueness

Moon in Virgo: prioritise you, prioritise your health first, find your coping mechanism, learn how to enjoy yourself and how to make time for you

Moon in Libra: Make things less about others and just find the balance between you and others, build healthy friendships and relationships, taking care of yourself and appearance, building that confidence of yours

Moon in Scorpio: things are great with so much depth but have you ever took a step back to look at some stuff more superficially, not everything needs a deep dive, not everything needs to be taken seriously, realise that the more seriously you take everything, the more heartbroken you become.

Moon in Sagittarius: free speech, a meaning in life, a higher knowledge, a constant need for growth and maturity, a never ending life full of experiences that make you wiser, a life that has its up and downs but you learn lessons that make you a better person

Moon in Capricorn: coming in terms with yourself, stop those impossible expectations, realising you are not paranoid nor abnormal, realising that not everything is on your shoulders, finding your comfort place and character, find your true motivation in life

Moon in Aquarius: uniting, bringing everyone together, having an important role in society, being the change while also doing the change, you need to realise that the fact you accept you and you dont change for anybody is a trait that many dont have and you finally need to praise yourself for this

Moon in Pisces: stop the delusions, see others as to who they actually are and not what you want them to be, become a better judge of other people's character, learn that you cannot click with everyone you meet and that some people are not meant in your life, prioritise you and your heart

• If you want to know where you can get power and feel in control, get to know your pluto placement more! For this one, you will have to tell me if you want more help and examples and i can include them in the next part.

• As weird as it will sound, your sun placements are the hardest to interpret cause sun in the chart shows your life purpose in this lifetime. Where is the central theme of your life.. so its very hard to interpret it unbiased. Sun will forever be the base of everything so it will be the most important part of us in anything we do. So i always recommend that you have to mix the characteristics of your sun, dominant planet and mc.

• Honestly cause i dont realy know where each one of you wants to discover themselves more, here is what answers you will find if you dig deeper in these placements:

Sun: your life meaning, what is your purposes

Moon: what you truly want and need to feel content

Mercury: what are your mental abilities

Venus: what are your social and artistic qualities

Mars: when are you the most active and reactive? In what areas do you use your energy at?

Jupiter: in which areas is the person most capable of expanding and developing themselves

Saturn: what are your fears? When do you start self-sabotaging?

Uranus: when do you express the need to change and eccentricity

Neptune: in which areas do you use your imagination and intuition

Pluto: where do you feel more in control and powerful

• If Jupiter is your most aspected planet, bro im serious you will get VERY AHEAD BITCH. And i dont only mean the harmonious aspects, i mean ANY ASPECT WITH JUPITER. Most beneficial aspects with Jupiter are:

Sun in aspects with the Jupiter (especially sextile and opposite)

Midheaven in aspects to the Jupiter (all main aspects)

Mars in aspects to the Jupiter (especially opposition and sextile)

Pluto in aspects to Jupiter (especially trine and square)

(^^ if you have those and youre also a Jupiter dominant or have Jupiter as you chart ruler, remember me bitch cause i will want an autograph. Jokes aside, if you have a balance of harsh and harmonious aspects with Jupiter its the most ideal. Too many harmonious or too many harsh, many affect the outcomes)

• I noted about north node aspects being very important but i have to note again that the most important ones are when a planet conjuncts the North or South node. So look deeper into these conjunctions babes. Some day i will get into the aspects of north node as i already have it in the masterlist, so if you have patience, i will give you more answers cuties.

• The ruler of your ascendant shows the way you want to present yourself to others: (used traditional rulership, so for aquarius check Saturn, for pisces check jupiter, for scorpio check mars)

Sun: Likes to show off a more Leo-like personality. You like to seem creative, energetic, revolutionary, the best, high self esteem and confident

Moon: Likes to show off a more Cancer-like personality. You like to seem caring, emotional, helpful, someone that others can trust, someoje that people will feel love and protection from, the mother

Mercury: likes to show off a more Gemini-like personality. You like to seem sociable, that you have a big network, that you know many people, intellect, you like to voice your opinions and you like to seem smart and as an all-rounder to others

Venus: likes to show off a more Taurus/Libra- like personality. You seem elegant bitch, EXPENSIVE BITCH, you want to look sensual and desirable in other people's eyes, luxurious, pretty and comforting

Mars: likes to show off a more Aries/scorpio-like personality. You like to seem as courageous, strong, aggressive with no fears or weaknesses, independent and hard to handle for people that doesnt have strong guts.

Jupiter: likes to show off a more sagittarius/pisces- like personality. You like to seem opinionated, strongwilled, unbendable, wise and very intelligent. Someone with a futuristic view and a hopeful mindset. Imagination and philosophizing anything in life.

Saturn: likes to show off a more capricorn/aquarius- like personality. You like to seem as a strong person, someone that went through hell, came back and is still standing strong in their feet, too realistic and sometimes pessimistic so that you keep people away, intelligent and hardworker, someone that will not change an ounce of themselves for anyone and anything

•Ruler of the 2H in the 4H: this is a placement can show great support from family when it comes to your finances. Also, great possibility to work in real estate or any occupation that has to do with the care of others.

• A combination of pisces and leo placements in a chart can be a great indicator for someone that has amazing talent in arts, especially singing and dancing.

• Neptune-ascendant aspects are amazing indicators for people that can create another "version" of themselves. These people can get in the shoes of other people too easily. Many actors have prominent Neptune in their chart but i would also note that with these aspects i could see amazing career in Law, Psychology, Sales, etc.. (just any occupation that has to do with people and using actions and words to persue or get in someone's shoes)

A/N: Ik its not that much but I hope its still sth. I promise to do more parts if you guys actually like these observations so i will give you more info AND MORE OF MY TIME. Midterms are screaming at your girl not to waste time

Please let me know if you want more of these💕

P.S: WISH ME GOOD LUCK YOU RATS

Did he actually pull out a bow and arrow and zipline us to safety or was I trippin?

[nonsensical-twistedriddles]

This is not becoming a genshin blog, I just had to share it with the internet real quick

[nonsensical-twistedriddles]

tess of the road is honestly one of my favorite reads this year. it’s very slow and character-driven, but tess’s entire arc and development just blows me away.

[nonsensical-twistedriddles]

People’s arguments against Leona being black lowkey reminds me of back when people would heavily debate and argue with their life that they’re was no way that Yoruichi from Bleach could be considered black. Or that Michiko from Michiko to Hatchin was not Afro-Brazilian. In fact now that I think about it people only seem to want to argue against someone not being a race due to not being human and etc when it comes to characters people see as black. And I noticed that almost entirely it’s when the black character is constantly considered attractive by the fandom that people debate if they have black ancestry which always got me rubbed the wrong way.

I found out your blog a couple of days ago and I’m honestly happy to see you also call out/see the mistreatment/bias against the POC-coded characters in TWST from the fandom compared to how some of the white-coded characters are stanned and excused for a lot of their actions.

I noticed when I got into TWST last idk November or December (I forgot when I got into it lol but I know it wasn’t long ago and that the 5th chapter with Vil was the current one) or whatever that a lot of people on Tumblr were inconsiderate of Jamil’s circumstances especially but would be overdramatic and overforgiving about the actions from the European/white-coded characters who basically had 1st world problems which tbh made me quickly distance myself from the fandom and really only engage on the level of reblogging fanworks and fanart on tumblr because it reminded me of how the Star Wars fandom would have people vilifying Finn/John Boyega but then woobifying and forgiving Kylo Ren for everything.

And as someone who is black it gets so uncomfortable to be in some fandoms because POC characters especially black characters tend to be demonized in fandoms but people will simp for non-POC characters who do things 10x worse. I don’t dislike Vil (though I haven’t caught up to ch 5 lol) but I know of some of the main things he did and I found it bizarre how some people on tumblr that criticized Leona’s actions in Ch 2 (while I don’t agree with some of his tactics the hypocrisy some people in the fandom give to him is really uncomfortable) were justifying Vil’s attempt to poison Neige like what 😐.

Anyways I am sorry for how long this is but I just wanna say I’m happy I found your blog because I used to think I was overreacting or possibly alone in noticing how hypocritical Leona was treated by people who stan Vil and how a lot of people in the fandom seem to not see anything wrong about that.

I still have no idea if this ask was ever sent to me, since I can only see this ask on desktop and not on the app (along with other random asks from deactivated accounts, which all appeared at the same time in my inbox just a week ago without any notification), but it seems relevant enough to be sent to me so I'll answer it.

Honestly have nothing else to add because you're pretty much spot on, though no one ever wants to have these conversations, and whenever I have brought it up there's a history in the fandom of getting attacked and told off for making people uncomfortable or getting angry at the 'inaccurate' understanding of their fave white character when the issues I've talked about precede anything to do with the characters and more on the environment of racial microaggressions (as well as overt forms) in fandom itself, not just in the twst fandom but all fandoms like you've mentioned. Or i've had anons insist its solely my duty to be the calm and collected educator and reserve all my emotional labour on issues of race for everyone else, or I'm too aggressive lol. I've always been vocal about the discomfort fans of colour experience in the fandom and the racism and bias in the fandom in general, but yeah.

No need to apologise for the long post! Whenever I get fans of colour telling me they've also felt really uncomfortable I never know what to say except I'm sorry, and you're not overreacting or overthinking it, you have a right to feel upset but we also have a right to a good fandom experience without constantly being uncomfortable. We all feel weird and upset having to scroll through the main tags seeing racially insensitive posts, and having to block 90% of the fandom until we're forced to be outcasted because there's nothing left. Or just the fact that Yana couldn't do anything differently but rely on the same racist and Islamophobic stereotypes around the Black African and Arab-coded characters.

[a painful death]

“truthfully,” childe coughs, his hand coming tightly to his wound, “i was hoping you would’ve joined me.” he can feel the glare intensify at him, whether to be from paimon or yourself, he cannot see. hate him, love him, he doesn’t care, if only to get your attention. he wants to monopolize you, control your every look. a bastard in every sense, he needs you like a fish needs water.

it’s selfish for his dying wish to be with you; after all he’s done, he doesn’t deserve it. yet, being selfish isn’t his worst crime, nor will be his best. still, he thinks as he watches you come close, kneeling at his beaten body, a dying man can afford such a selfish wish. as a god approaches a mortal, you look as radiant as the day he first met you; curious intentions paving your every action.

“if you had joined me,” he continues, “i would’ve given you the world.” the pitying looks he receives, he can’t stand them, but from you…it hurts him even more. to be pitied like this may as well be worse than death and yet, he forgives you. no matter what you do, no matter what you say, it hurts him even more, but….to forgive someone you love, that is what you’re supposed to do, yes? “if you had joined me, i would’ve done anything for you.”

even if you hadn’t, he would’ve still. his devotion is twisted just like his mind, but he knows nothing purer than his love. for you, for his siblings. he can imagine his new life, a life with you by his side and his siblings on his back, climbing him up like a tree. a life where the sun shines as brightly as your smile and the moon gleams as intensely as your tears. he’s a selfish, terrible man, but his wish is innocent. isn’t it?

“if you hadn’t done this, i would’ve,” you say, your voice sober, but not cold. your hand drapes over his cheek and your thumb rubs against him. he leans into the touch, not afraid of death as he is as leaving you. he looks at you and says, “my darling, my love for you echoes across liyue.”

“i know,” you reply, your hand reaching his hair and gently stroking. like a parent does to their child, he thinks, inwardly laughing at the irony. to be called childe and be seen as a child…this feeling, he hates it. your attention is what he craves, yet not that of a parent, but that of a lover. 

it’s a bitter resentment that fills him. he thinks of all of the others you know, all of the other people who you’ll keep adventuring with. he wants to be them, he wants to be one of them. yet here he is, being treated gently and kindly by you as he lays dying. 

why can’t you see me, he thinks, why can’t you see me as a lover. but he knows the answer, he just doesn’t want to admit.

that you never loved him to begin with.

What does it mean to be free?

It is a question you have asked yourself many times since you have stumbled into Mondstadt.

A city known for its state of freedom.

After traveling through half of Teyvat to escape from the clutches of your family and spending the past year hidden in Dawn Winery, you realize you still don’t hold the answer.

But when you look up to see him standing in the fields filled with shimmering grapes, the alluring scent lulling the air around him into a sweet promise, you find you don’t quite mind. The sunlight catches on his fire-kissed hair with every move of his head and the paleness of his skin seems almost illuminated.

You are too mesmerised to look away and attentive as he is, he feels your eyes on him. For a split second, you think you see a smile dart around his lips, but it’s gone as soon as it appears. So you think it’s perhaps a mirage, a trick of your mind showing you something you wanted  rather than something that actually happened.

He lifts his head and turns to you.

Your eyes lock and the whole world stops.

RAVEN YKNOW IM DEAD >:((( oh well ive gotta support uwu)9 And I did this on my twst account bleeeepp :P

~Your twisted tale begins!~

1. You just woke up in a coffin trapped with this talking rat thing that swears he isn’t a tanuki. How do you actually react?

Panic 🤷 I’m afraid of the dark and then there’s this talking creature beside me tryna convince me that he isn’t a tanuki. Bruh, he shouldn’t even be talking in the first place? Have you seen a real life animal talk to you in Japanese? I’d probably whack him a few times before he pulls out his fire magic on me.

2. Let’s pretend for a second that you’re not at the mercy of a magic mirror and incompetent bird dad, choose which dorm you would like to be a part of. Why, and do you think the mirror would agree?

I don’t really have a “want” to be in any dorm? But if I had to choose, I guess i’d want to be in Octavinelle? I’ve always loved the ocean. I’m not sure if the mirror would agree with me though. 

I haven’t done any quizzes for dorm sorting but since Raven mentioned it, I’m gonna try one out.

Hey Ravey Wavey, if you’re reading this UwU) I got Scarabia nyeheheheheheheheheheheh

I think I’d be with Scarabia? I wouldn’t enjoy being there because of the heat but I do like gold :)

3. Going back to twst reality, where you don’t have magic and get sentenced to Ramshackle; what is your first thought upon seeing this safety hazard of a building? What’s the first thing you choose to fix there?

I’ve honestly lived in worse? I wouldn’t care as much really and would think myself privileged to even have a place to stay at. Do you know???? how expensive???? living is in general???

I probably wouldn’t sleep and just clean and fix everything I can the whole night. I clean everyday anyways so another one’s not gonna bother me as much? And though I’m no expert at fixing things, I’d try my best to figure out how. I’ve fixed a couple of doors and roofs in my life.

4. In an alternate reality where you don’t immediately get lumped together with Ace and Deuce, who in the school becomes your best friend(s)?

Probably still Ace and Deuce? I’m not a very social person, though a lot of people say otherwise. 

5. Which existing club would you give a shot? Any particular reason why?

Mountain Appreciation Club- just to spend time with Jade lol

Other options would be the Light Music Club and Science Club

6. Don’t be shy, we know there’s a certain someone who’s caught your eye! Who are they? How did you meet?

Dire Crowley- *gets shot*

Yeah bird dad, so mysterious, so funny

would definitely have a crush on him.

7. Which of the events was the most exciting for you?

Ghost marriage? It hasn’t ended yet but it’s been fun so far??

8. Ghosts: delightful dorm mates or unholy terrors?

I’m the unholy terror, I think the ghosts would be absolute sweeties.

9. Choose a champion (no further context, just pick).

Jack. He’d fight for what’s right and he’s stronk. 

10. Would you rather (a) film a movie with Vil, (b) play a round of magic shift with Leona, or © go gargoyle sighting with Malleus?

UHM,, C???

go look at gargoyles with Malleus?? Heck yeah! We can be socially awkward beans together

11. Thoughts on fairies?

I’d love to learn more about them owo) I was right about my theory before with how humans smell a different way from them so really interested to see how much Disney will be exploring these creatures.

12. “Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” (Choose wisely now)

Malleus UwU) 

13. Would you rather (a) keep Azul from eating fried food, (b) be responsible for dragging Idia out from his lair, © break a rule with Riddle standing right in front of you, or (d) tell Kalim to his face that Jamil isn’t all that great (not true).

B

I’d kick him out of his own room and claim it as my own >:)

14. You stumble upon Rook stalking another student from inside the bushes. What do you do?

Compliment him and then move on. He’s real pretty, he should be reminded of that everyday.

15. Which homeland (that we know of) would you like to learn more about?

Land of Hot Sands

16. Thoughts on Grimm?

He’s cute. His voice sometimes gets annoying but overall am amused by his silliness.

17. If you had magic, what would be your unique magic?

Communicate through dreams, or send someone nice dreams.

That or survival. Like I’d be able to survive anywhere because my body automatically knows what to do or how to help me survive.

18. Favourite ship?

If for OCs then Fengmian x Leona or Sagie x Vil ;)

If for twst characters only then probably Silbek 

19. Favourite theory?

None. I did like the one about Azul being fat before but it’s not really a theory anymore since it’s already been confirmed.

20. The school year is coming to a close, how are you feeling? Any thoughts?

Does this mean I’m closer to death-

I dunno? All the overblotting wouldn’t be fun (especially for the people who are actually experiencing it) and tbh I don’t think I’d even last a whole school year long in twst. I’d enjoy the learning hands down. I’d wish I could go home to the province though. 

21. “Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.” What do you wish to see from the game in future stories?

Look, I’m a simple bitch, I want me my beach episode. 

Oooooooooorrrrrrr I’d love to see the Magishift tournament against RSA 

Post Release Tag Game

~Your twisted tale begins!~

1. You just woke up in a coffin trapped with this talking rat thing that swears he isn’t a tanuki. How do you actually react?

✦ Well that entirely depends on whether I’m aware of the fact I’m in a game or not. If I retain my knowledge of twst then I follow the game path (and accept that I have to live with the talking rat from now on). If this is all completely new to me then I would most likely go with the flow, I’d realise that something completely unnatural has happened and try to adapt to the situation. I’d also interrogate the talking rat thing and try to find out more information

2. Let’s pretend for a second that you’re not at the mercy of a magic mirror and incompetent bird dad, choose which dorm you would like to be a part of. Why, and do you think the mirror would agree?

✦ This is hard… I would choose to be part of Octavinelle, I mean… the visual design of the dorm rocks. Plus they do well in tests, so I could persuade my dormmates to tutor me. The mirror probably wouldn’t agree with me. I’ve taken a couple ‘What Twisted Wonderland dorm are you?’ type quizzes, and I usually get put in Heartslabyul. Maybe I should send someone a dorm sorting request and see what happens?

3. Going back to twst reality, where you don’t have magic and get sentenced to Ramshackle; what is your first thought upon seeing this safety hazard of a building? What’s the first thing you choose to fix there?

✦ My first thought is ‘no’. The first thing I choose to fix is the fact that I live there. Surely I can make a deal with Azul to have a spare room in Octavinelle. He can have Ramshackle in exchange. I know he wants that second location for the lounge

4. In an alternate reality where you don’t immediately get lumped together with Ace and Deuce, who in the school becomes your best friend(s)?

✦ Epel and Rook seem interesting to be around, I don’t know a ton about either of them, but going off of my general idea about the two, I could see myself hanging around them. Epel I’d probably befriend pretty quickly, Rook maybe not so much. Unless being from another world is enough to make up my lack of beauty or interesting qualities. Other characters I could potentially befriend would be Kalim, Jamil, Trey, and Idia

5. Which existing club would you give a shot? Any particular reason why?

✦ Board games club! You guys should’ve seen when I got Risk and nobody wanted to play with me because it was so long… in the board games club they’d have to join me, right? Also I just wanna vibe with Idia and Azul

6. Don’t be shy, we know there’s a certain someone who’s caught your eye! Who are they? How did you meet?

✦ … Jamil. I’d assume we meet through Kalim. I met Kalim, vibed with him and we started hanging out together, and then Jamil came to find Kalim for one reason or another, meeting me in the process or if we’re following the game plot, we’d meet when I was investigating the mysterious injuries surrounding magishift players

7. Which of the events was the most exciting for you?

✦ Ghost marriage. Sitting on the sidelines and watching everyone get slapped would be legendary, and all those outfits? Even better. Of course I’d feel bad for Idia, but that doesn’t really change how amusing the rest of the event would be

8. Ghosts: delightful dorm mates or unholy terrors?

✦ That entirely depends on their reaction to my 2 am singing, they might become nightmare fuel just to get me to shut up for a minute. Otherwise the ghosts are honorary dorm members, who have an obligation to listen to me, their dorm leader I’m officially the mc now

9. Choose a champion (no further context, just pick).

✦ Leona. As long as he’s actually awake/motivated to get up and do champion stuff, I think he’d be well suited… I say, having absolutely no idea what the context for this is. If this whole champion thing requires motivation however, I’d pick Jamil instead

10. Would you rather (a) film a movie with Vil, (b) play a round of magic shift with Leona, or © go gargoyle sighting with Malleus?

✦ Film a movie with Vil, the other options aren’t even up for debate

11. Thoughts on fairies?

✦ Cool as hell. Those are not things we have here and that is honestly a shame. I’m kinda interested in all the different types of fairies and what distinguishes them. Like is it just physical differences or do the different fae have special abilities of their own?

12. “Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?” (Choose wisely now)

✦ Vil, I would rather not be poisoned by him for saying otherwise

13. Would you rather (a) keep Azul from eating fried food, (b) be responsible for dragging Idia out from his lair, © break a rule with Riddle standing right in front of you, or (d) tell Kalim to his face that Jamil isn’t all that great (not true).

✦ Break a rule with Riddle standing right in front of me. I’m looking forward to him trying to use off with your head on someone with no magic of course he could just beat the shit out of me, but that is a risk I am willing to take

14. You stumble upon Rook stalking another student from inside the bushes. What do you do?

✦ First of all, laugh at him. Then probably join him tbh, depends on who he’s stalking

15. Which homeland (that we know of) would you like to learn more about?

✦ Land of Pyroxene

16. Thoughts on Grimm?

✦ Rat bastard who needs to stop eating overblot rocks. Or if he’s gonna eat them, at least wait until I’ve experimented on them to find out what they are and what they can do

17. If you had magic, what would be your unique magic?

✦ Now this is a hard one. I’d say… an ability that draws attention to or from someone. So the magic could make it so that everyone turns and pays attention to the target, or that everyone ignores them, making them essentially invisible. I don’t have a name for the magic right now because I only just came up with it

18. Favourite ship? 

✦ Marcela x Lilia. Not because I think it’s a good ship, but because if they did get together it would be so chaotic. It’s just for the memes

19. Favourite theory?

✦ Silver being twisted from the sword that kills Maleficent. I don’t know who first came up with the theory, but I’ve seen it mentioned multiple times by different people. I like it ‘cause it’d be an interesting narrative, and hint at a possibility of betrayal. A character twisted from a villain and another character twisted from what killed them, nice

20. The school year is coming to a close, how are you feeling? Any thoughts?

✦ Please tell me I can continue on as a second year. I’m feeling kinda annoyed that I can’t use magic, but seeing everyone overblot, I figure it might be for the best that I can’t

21. “Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight; I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight.” What do you wish to see from the game in future stories?

✦ Potion shenanigans. Perhaps an event where a dodgy potion resulted in some body swapping or something? Or they pull an Emperor’s New Groove and turn someone into a llama. I think I prefer the llama idea. Please twst give me a llama event
