Just hanging out

After four years of waiting, the anime is finally here, and it certainly didn’t dissapoint. I hope many new people will discover the wonder of magical mentally ill teenage boys and join our fandom! The episode was great, and I’m excited for the rest of the season (and season 4 PLEASE)

This animatic is to celebrate Twisted Wonderland and its themes and journey and bla bla bla

Over and over do people overblot, does Yuu have to deal with the neverending tragedies, and over and over do we get to know these characters on a deeper level. The way they present theirselves and your first impression of them is never quite what they really are. People are almost never JUST this or that, they’re not one sided. There is always something driving them. The Rose Red Tyrant? Or just… Riddle Rosehearts? These boys are not just villains, they’re not just evil. They’re wildly flawed but they too deserve compassion and understanding and redemption.

Riddle enforces the rules like his mom, over and over.

Leona self sabotages and is his own worst enemy in a way.

Azul goes even lower than his bullies, under and under.

Jamil is gay.

Vil always chases perfection, morning and evening. It’s never enough.

Idia felt nothing but grief, even as he tried to suppress it and ignore it. It drowned him.

Malleus vowed to never let someone he cares about slip through his fingers again.

I hope that old fans can continue to love Twisted Wonderland, and that new fans can join us in the fun and appreciate these incredibly well crafted characters too! I once again encourage discussion in the comments, part of why fandom is so fun is to share opinions and thoughts after all!

Thanks for reading this whole ramble, you’re a trooper. If you’re reading this, tell me: who is your favorite character and why?
