Twst Theory - Tumblr Posts - Page 2

Perhaps the fae soldiers in Lilia's dreams have referred to Silver and company as the "iron ones" (or something similar, according to Twitter translations, lol) not only as a nod to the lore that fae are weak to such metal, but also because human lands are known to be lands of progress, rife with technology that's quickly putting them at quite an advantage. And perhaps that's why Briar Valley has dispatched a part of its army to the deep confines of the forest, hidden behind hooded garbs of green and gray, along with masks to incite fear: It has come time to resort to more underhanded tactics.

What if, because this is not only the Dream Quartet’s first time seeing the contents of Lilia’s dreams and the past but Malleus’ as well—Lilia never tells them anything, ever!!—he let’s it continue on for longer than normal… only to discover that his parents’ murderers were none other than Silver’s ancestors and be overcome with a vicious urge for blood. He’s not playing around anymore—where the main objective had once been their capture and imprisonment, he’ll now settle for nothing less than Silver’s head on a platter.

I have a question. Is there legitimately any reason why Night Raven College is an all-boys school? Like lorewise? Does anyone have a headcanon or reasoning for that? I keep trying to think as to why, but nothing I think of makes enough sense.

To get into Night Raven, you have to either be proficient in magic, be chosen by the mirror itself, or have enough madol to pay off Crowley. Magic seems like a hard thing to master, so it's understandable if most people don't want to do that. Wealth comes from the rich, and I guess a lot of rich people in TWST don't have daughters.

But why is the mirror not picking any girls? It's literally the Mirror of the Evil Queen, one of the most powerful female witches to ever be mentioned in fairytales and what not. Why?

I seriously need a legitmate explanation for this, and I don't think I'll be satisfied until I get it. Like... Is there a curse? Was there some sort of tragic accident? Will RSA white knight the girl, treat her like a damsel-in-distress, and start an all out war with NRC? Were the women there before, and there just isn't any now? I really want an answer.

🙋there are some things I would like to add to this

I’m not going into super detail rn tho bc I’m sick and it’s almost midnight where I am so I need to go to bed soon lol

Also I can’t tell if this is from and event or Idia’s overblot chapter so I’m going with the later; Spoilers for anyone who hasn’t read Idia’s chapter yet

For starters, Grim is a dire beast. NRC has never had a dire beast as a student before and it’s hinted that they tend to be aggressive (as we see when Grim attacks MC when eating Vil’s overblot stone someone, I think Rook but I don’t remember and am too lazy to look rn, mentions it might’ve been bc he’s a dire beast) so it’s absolutely reasonable Crowley would be concerned about his magic levels and how dangerous he might be

Second, HE HAS BEEN EATING OVERBLOT STONES!?!!? I can’t recall rn who all knows about him eating the overblot stones but there is no way that’s good for him and I feel like it’s going to lead to something big, so if Crowley knows (wether we know that he knows or not, idk) it’s likely he would want to monitor this in case something big does happen

We, and all the cast, know that only the overblot victims were kidnapped. Except Grim, who was also kidnapped. That would raise a lot of questions, and despite how careless Crowley may get, it feels like he is always monitoring or keeping tabs on these things. Why was Grim kidnapped? He didn’t overblot? I don’t feel like Crowley is someone to look over something like that, even if he doesn’t directly say it

And going back to the whole ‘Grim is a dire beast’ thing, does Crowley know that Grim attacked MC? Bc Grim said he dosent remember having done that, if Crowley knows about this incident then he probably realizes how suspicious it is. That’s something worth keeping tabs on someone for

And lastly, Crowley knows WAY more than he is letting on and I feel it’s that way bc of something that’s going to happen towards the end of the game or at least later in the story. Some of the things he says just really feels suspicious and noteworthy (like what you mentioned in your post about Grim’s results)

Anyway I’m don’t for now, I’ll theorize more later. Goodnight <3

This point right here is a good example of Chekhov's Gun

The narrative took us to the side and said "pay close attention to this." The fact that grim points it out as weird is huge.

What was crowly worried about? That idia was able to dig through the layer of spells? That grim would fall apart with all the blot being tested?

Side note here but idia mentions "spell scripts" in the masquerade event

Could it be that idia can see magic like a coding language? Perhaps the layers of magic were like when coding language is changed halfway through development on a title? Eventually things get all jumbled and stop working on the most recent build of a project.

I like how twst is a “game about villains”

Because it implies that everyone has the potential to be a villain or could be seen as one.

Even the prefect (essentially “you”)

I also like how it’s a matter of perspective too.

Everyone could be or is a villain.

Briar Valleys saw the humans as villains for invading them. The humans saw the fae as evil due to the rumors they heard and the magic they fear.

NRC sees RSA negatively because of the win streak and their goody act, and you could say some of the RSA students might feel the same way.

We have seen Rollo and his hatred of magic, but at the same time, it was magic that his brother loved.

All of this to say, it’s always about perspective.

Someone’s hero could be another person’s villain.

And we kind of see how that plays out right now, especially in book 7.

In the future, we might see the reverse as well. How RSA, the heroes, are villains too.

I just find this play on perspective interesting.

Two mirrors and two images, the same and yet different.

Like Mickey and the Prefect.
