I've seen so many interesting convos since I joined trying to explain this old storyline, and public threads of people asking and sharing what they have on it.
Since thereās new canonical storyline mentions from Erik of these characters now and more fandom interest about their old storyline...
Here's video, clips and captions regarding this story that have currently been shared by the fandom (until April 2023), organised. Let me know if anything is missing.
Note: Remember that this is mostly no longer considered canon. The characters are still relevant (although the 'Bright Eyes' listener character is now mentioned offscreen as Frederick's progeny), everything in other audios mentioned about them is relevant, and the official timeline (Oct 2020) basically has a summary that is just the first video (With one main creative difference, that being Quinn's characterisation). But the other story stuff here is no longer canon.

Hey, sorry to bother you, but I wanted to know if you're selling any prints of your art? I really like your Unique Magic artwork.
thank you! :> I don't sell prints, but for the UM posters specifically, I have high-res versions uploaded here (plus a few alternate versions) for personal printing!
(big ol' spoiler note there though, since it includes every character's Unique Magic so far, including ones that haven't hit Eng yet!)
Hate to be the person to ask but every time a new BA comes out and it's not some kind of repost of the last Regulus BA my heart breaks as a Regulus fan šš
Did anyone listen to it and can dm me or something cause I'm dying out here for any scrap cause it's either been forgotten or will never see the light of day again in general?
Ok itās so confusing to explain but the main thing was like you couldnāt see him (obviously) but you could feel him everywhere.
How he described it was you could feel him down your throat, him fucking you, his fingers inside of you, and his mouth on you all at once while obviously still being held down by his magic.
It was a wild experience. Canāt remember much but that was the basics of what happened.
Please tell me what sort of Saw trap each house warden in Twisted Wonderland would design if they were the mastermind in a Saw movie.
Hello friend! Well, this is a fun ask! I am actually very excited to get into this, ahahaha. You have no idea how eager I got when I read this ask. I literally went "AHA" and started grinning. I'm going to write each scenario out as if the Housewarden is a Jigsaw Apprentice, and I might even take it a little further and describe what kind of apprentice they would be.
I'm putting a cut, both for length and because these will get a bit graphic. Please see the tags for trigger/content warnings.
Riddle - Riddle is the Rule Boy, By the Book, Stick to the Pattern. The one who adamantly protests every time to the other Saw masterminds "It's not a trap, it's a TEST".
Because of this, Riddle's tests are not overly imaginative, but they get the job done. I think, due to the nature of his signature spell, Riddle would lean toward decapitation being the end result in his traps. It's easy, effective, and doesn't prolong suffering. I like to think he's not one to wish others to suffer. Indeed, if he was a Jigsaw Apprentice, he'd be the one to parrot John Kramer the most about learning to love and cherish the life you have and atoning for past mistakes.
The rules for Riddle's test would be simple. "Find the key to unlock your chains in a certain amount of time, or a saw will cut your head off". Of course, the tricky part is getting the key. No one escapes a Saw trap without some kind of mark, be it visible or invisible. The placement of the key I will leave up to the imagination, as it will have to be specific to the individual in the trap or it will mean nothing. (Keep in mind, canon placements have been: at the other end of the room needing a mad dash that puts co-victims in danger to get to it, in the stomach of a heavily sedated companion in the trap, surgically implanted inside the victim's own eye...etc.). If the victim survives, they are off the hook. Riddle wouldn't dare mess up that part of the game. If they die, he follows John's example and dutifully cuts a puzzle piece out of their flesh, the symbol of that person's "missing piece" that prevented them from winning the game(this is also how Jigsaw got his name).
Leona - Leona can do the job, he understands the assignment. He thinks John's a bit nuts, though. He's another one where there's not a whole lot of imagination involved; he designs the trap to get the job done, makes sure it meets the requirements (because he will not be given a bad grade on Jigsaw Traps, something apparently possible to achieve and normal to worry about?...), but it won't be overly complex, and he makes Ruggie and Jack do the muscle-work for him. Don't worry, he pays them well.
Leona's traps will probably involve some test of strength (keeping in mind the different physical capabilities of individuals, of course). I'm thinking something like a low tunnel filled with various-sized shards of broken glass the person has to crawl through to get to the exit, or climbing through a vent connected to an oven that is on max. heat to get out. Something like that, of course tweaked for the individual.
He makes Ruggie cut the puzzle piece. Ruggie doesn't mess around when it comes to his finances. He cuts every piece perfectly.
Azul - Let's be real, Azul doesn't mind suffering...as long as it's not his own. His traps are always complex, and he sees each new victim as a chance to one-up himself. And it's no problem getting his victims; Jade and Floyd help with that.
I think most of Azul's traps will involve the victim inflicting pain on themselves on purpose. Not just doing things that result in pain (such as crawl over glass) but actively cause themselves harm; probably ripping their own molars out or cutting off a limb, or something, and dropping it in a bin/chute to trigger the exit to open.
Jade and Floyd help with set-up...but Floyd is Not allowed to cut the puzzle pieces afterward. For obvious reasons.
Kalim - In order for Kalim to be an apprentice, he would need to have something awful and drastic happen to someone close to him that pushes him over the edge. When it comes to it, he sees the traps as a job, a duty. It's not something he enjoys and he always observes with a tired distaste but, because of whatever trauma pushed him into this life, he believes it's necessary.
He can't stand the sight of blood and brutality. Nor does he want to know they're dying a slow death. His victim is hooked up to a syringe pump, hands restrained, and they need to figure out the code to turn off the pump before time runs out (probably voice password or something; definitely based on important memories related to the reason they are in the trap, which is hinted at in the tape) or the syringe will rapidly infuse a lethal dose of potassium into their veins and they will go into cardiac arrest.
Jamil has to cut the puzzle piece because Kalim cannot stomach it.
Vil - Vil, like Kalim, needs to be of the mind that what he's doing is necessary, even if he doesn't like it. He has to believe that people need him to teach them in this way, or he won't be able to stomach it.
He also doesn't want a bloodbath; that's not his style. Vil would rather use poison. Poison for his victims, already injected/ingested, with an antidote they have to get...probably behind a locked door needing a combination password. But, in order to get the code, they will have to face what they've done and figure out what the code is, very similar to Kalim's style. However, unlike Kalim's, if the victim gives the wrong code the door will seal shut forever and the victim will be doomed. They need to get it right and they need to be certain.
Vil may request Rook's assistance with making sure people are brought in and the trap set up properly, but he cuts the puzzle piece himself. He believes it's his role, and he refuses to put that onto anyone else. It disgusts him, but he treats it like his cross to bear for the acts he is committing, because a part of him still feels uneasy about all of this and he hates looking at himself in the mirror some days.
Idia - Idia is so removed from the front lines of the traps, he's actually quite desensitized to the violence. He treats it a bit like his video games and he does try out a variety of different traps, each one extremely individualized. He's got all the info on his victims; every single trace of them online, their social security number, their bank statements, anything and everything that can be accessed via computer is his. He knows them inside and out. Every trap is an attempt to be more unique and "entertaining" than the last. It's questionable if he's even in it for the "righteousness" that John preaches, or if he got bored and decided this was an interesting way to pass the time.
All his traps are set up to run completely independently, and all are under video surveillance. I think Idia would get to the point that there's not enough moving parts for him if there's only one victim in the trap, so he starts doing bigger traps, with groups of people, where it's a challenge to try and predict how they all will react, how they would push each other's boundaries and if they would try to see the hints laid out for them or if they would misinterpret it (for anyone who's seen Jigsaw, think about the gun scene with the keys at the end. That kind of a hint. Idia would like to see who gets it). So, yeah, Idia probably builds a maze-trap with multiple little traps within it that the victims have to go through to get out.
While he hasn't yet created something that can cut the puzzle piece and deliver it to him, he has developed a little punch that he can bring to punch out the piece of the victim's flesh should they fail. It's the only time he's on-site after the trap has been set. (Ortho refused to do that part because the dead bodies made him sad.)
Malleus - Malleus believes he is helping people, and he's curious to see how far a person would go to save their own life. He thinks it's his job to bring out the worst and the best in the person in his trap to help them be better than they are now. He's not beyond pushing buttons and upping antes; he sees it as doing what he can to help someone value their life and overcome their own shortcomings.
A trap from Malleus is probably going to involve some form of self-mutilation, giving enough flesh or giving enough blood, but also some emotional pressure. He will bring their families into the traps; likely remotely so as not to harm the innocent, but to use as leverage to make someone push themselves more. He wants them to succeed. But he will not go easy on them. In order to succeed, they need to pull on their own inner strength.
He cuts the puzzle piece himself, but he's always sad when he has to. He feels less that the person has failed and more that he has failed to help them bring out their better self.
Thank you again for the ask, friend! I hope I answered to your satisfaction :D If you have any questions or comments to add, please let me know, I am always happy to expand on these kinds of things!

Wrote this fluff out of spite, since the fandom likes to keep reminding me that Gavin will outlive the DAMN crew:
Gavin and Freelancer always knew kids were off the table. No big decision, it just wasn't for them.
But when Huxley and Damien finally get through the adoption process and introduce a shy but sweet little girl to 'Uncle Gavin'...well, Gavin feels that tug at his heart much more than he expected.
When Lasko and Dear bring home baby twins, Uncle Gavin feels that heart-tug again as they learn to walk, and start walking towards him.
His found family is expanding, growing, and he's so honored to be a part of it. He and Freelancer gush and coo over their niblings, and love them more than anything.
The Crew all stay in Dahlia. It's their home, it's their family. As they age, Gavin and the kids all help out in caring for them. One by one, Gavin says goodbye to his original found family. Eventually, he says goodbye to the love of his life.
But he's never alone. Uncle Gavin is always surrounded by his friends' children. And they live on through them.
Huxley and Damien's daughter has drive, ambition, and the kindest heart. Lasko and Dear's twins have soft voices, generous souls, and a surprisingly subtle mischievous streak.
Eventually, these kids all find partners, friends, and families of their own. And every time, he is introduced as 'Uncle Gavin'.
He's a fixture in all their lives throughout the generations. As people come into the fold, they explain to newcomers that Uncle Gavin always has been and always will be there.
And more often than not, he'll catch glimpses of his first family. Someone will have Damien's laugh or Freelancer's wit, Huxley's empathy or Lasko's intuition, or Dear's sense of humor.
He misses his first found family, his partner, and will for as long as he exists. But surrounded by the legacy of the love they all shared, Uncle Gavin knows that they will always be with him.
I reblogged him the day i started treatment and 1. GOT TO MY APPOINTMENT ON TIME 2. FOUND A FREE PARKING TICKET SOMEONE LEFT IN THE METER FOR ME AND 3. GOT FREE STARBUCKS AFTER MY APPOINTMENT!!!!!
Iām convinced bc I reblogged this on Friday, got hired at a job I had a million interviews for, went on a first date that went well, and got kissed a billion times so like hell ya to the luck cat
People need to understand that VAs have the right to exactly as much privacy as they want to have, and don't need to justify their boundaries. You don't need to know if they're single, you don't need to beg for a face reveal or dig around for one if they clearly don't want to share that. You don't need to know their sexual orientation if they don't want to share that. You aren't entitled to know their views on politics/news/other content creators. You don't need to know what area they live in or how much money they make.
There are more ways to be toxically parasocial than just acting like a VA is your real-life boyfriend. Thinking you're entitled to know anything about them that they haven't volunteered themselves IS FUCKING PARASOCIAL. It doesn't matter what it is, if you can't listen to someone without knowing a certain specific detail about their personal life it means you can accept that you don't actually know this person, and you are a stranger on the other side of a screen to them.
And no, saying "I just need to make sure they're not problematic" doesn't justify that. Making audios doesn't suddenly make every part of your life from your sexuality to your personal values suddenly subject to the scrutiny of thousands of strangers. People talk a big game about respecting content creator's boundaries until they want to justify demanding answers to invasive personal questions about a VA.

Am I the only one thatās still really annoyed and disappointed by the whole asset plot being a dream??? My hyper fixation on this channel has been dwindling for a while. thatās pretty normal for me. The things i was sticking around for was Sunshine finally getting out of the damn basement (disappointed the got those memories wiped but i can move past that) and Project Meridian and it turns out none of it was even real?? Iām sure heāll do SOMETHING cool with it but I canāt help but think āwhat was the point of all that??ā and weāre not gonna get Anton reuniting with his partner? Iām a sucker for angst and I loved the two of them missing each other like crazy and not being able to do anything about it but they werenāt ever real so none of that even mattered. It just doesnāt make sense to me to put that much work into a series and have it all be a dream. maybe iām missing something idk i just havenāt really heard anyone else talk about this. am i the only one?
As several others have already said in the notes, this is Jerome RobbinsāĀ āMistake Waltz,ā and it is GLORIOUS. And so much respect for the dancers, because having to do something intentionally wrong is frequently harder than trying to do it right.
Omg, with the better quality videoāthe girl wearing glasses, and the one wearing the pearls and brooch! those are SUCH GOOD DETAILS for a mistake waltz, having individual things catch the eye like that for something that should be uniform!
Hat tip @eldriwolf , this also beautifully captures the energy of watching children and teenagers doing performance art. Itās interesting to me because so much tension is created by the performance itself, the inherent comedy and frustration battling with your rooting for them PLUS your increasing desire for them to pull themselves together as well as the urge for them to keep going wrong. Interesting to think about this thank you
