so on the subject of the "Crowley is secretly Revaan/Laverne/Levin/please Twst give us his name" theory, I think my feelings are best summed up as "I don't really buy it, but it's funny". like, in all seriousness, I'm not opposed to it; I have enjoyed the writing in Twst so far and I'm willing to trust that whatever happens will, you know, make sense and not be terrible. but I'm just not really convinced by the current evidence! maybe that'll change once we learn more, we'll see!

with that said, may I propose a few alternate theories about the possible Crowley/Revaan connection:

NICHOLAS GALITZINE & ANNE HATHAWAY as Hayes & Sophie in The Idea of You (2024)

There's something about like. A certain genre of posts / Online Opinions about insecurity/depression/misery/complaints that are so unhelpful that they wrap right around to being straight up hilarious. and it's the ones that are more or less written to the tone of "Feeling bad? That's gross!" Like, just so you know, don't voice your insecurities/ have low self esteem, because that's offputting! You're gross and weird. Don't be insecure about that, though. That would be stupid if you felt insecure about people disliking you for being insecure. Not attractive. You should be thinking about being as attractive as possible. You shouldn't make comments about suicide, even if you're suicidal! Keep those thoughts entirely to yourself. Make sure nobody around you knows you're thinking about this. It would Make Them Uncomfortable. It's better to keep these thoughts in your head where they can fester. Don't post OR talk to friends with complaints about you feeling miserable or depressed. Tbh people who are sad/upset a lot? Kinda a red flag! You are probably miserable because you're a bad person and you've brought this on yourself. If you don't have friends, it's because you're awful to be around. Easy! Solved the problem for you. And no, there is no nuance to this, got it? So, make sure to feel bad about feeling bad, but don't feel bad about it, because, well, that's just gross. And annoying! You might've wanted your brain rotted thoughts to be Peer Reviewed, you might have just needed to vent- you might've been hoping for some comfort, to get things off your chest. Well, don't! Don't talk about thoughts or feelings that are negative with your friends, you'd be burdening them and that's only meant for THERAPY. #SponsoredbyBetterHelp #MentalHealth like, DAMN. that's so helpful. you're so good at helping. I um really liked the part where these are all hard and fast rules that encourage keeping feelings bottled up and keeping your friends at arm's length. That's really funny of you.

I wish Julian and Martok would interact more cause I think they could have the funniest possible dynamic. they spent 5 weeks together in a Jem'Hadar prison I just know they have a friendship that looks fucking INSANE from the outside looking in

What scares me most about Byler endgame is the reality of it likely coming out long after the US presidential election 2024.

I'm so proud of myself about finances in the past couple months. I still struggle with money but I did enough meditation and journaling and practicing about it to make myself able to actually face my loans and credit cards and savings and bills and start really truly organizing and addressing them for the first time in years instead of just flying by the seat of my pants.

Like. This is a huge deal for me. I've felt like I'm in deadly danger every time I've tried to think about money for years and years. I'm finally able to look it in the face and stare it down and start to organize and plan on purpose instead of just keeping up with the minimum to stay afloat. I'm so proud of myself.

It's still a refrain of "GUILT (funny link)" every time I think about money but I'm able to actually make spreadsheets and face the numbers and monthly tracking again, and even make a new full budget which I haven't been able to do in ages.

still feel guilt, overwhelm, and helplessness, but no longer feel as much deep elemental shame and terror. that's progress baby

the thing about 100gfs is that you come for the absurd premise and hilarious self-aware genre parody+4th wall breaking, and you stay for the genuinely interesting+funny characters and the increasingly complex intra-polycule yuri dynamics

omg I just realized that the visitor that Pahsiv (vishap? ;p) keeps mentioning is lost in translation in EN but it's SO GOOD. I specifically kept the tone markings here just to prove my point.

Pahsiv keeps talking about "that visitor", which is rendered in the Chinese text as [那位來客].

[那位來客] is pronounced "nà wèi lái kè"

Neuvillette's name in Chinese is [那維萊特]

[那維萊特] is pronounced "Nà wéi lái tè"

Has Pahsiv just been mispronouncing his name so she ends up saying visitor instead? We know she has limited usage of language so its not a far stretch

going off the post about not getting to see enough luke chest from earlier: what if you were around him while he was wearing that top, he noticed you looking, and he kind of smirked and pulled it aside just enough to flash you a little? just to be like “yup, nothing under here but me. you know, in case you’re interested”

oh my god wait. wait. because. oh my god. this is making me feral.

I'm often a little unsure of how much Luke would flirt or how he would flirt, but this. oh. he would 100% do this. he would most certainly catch you looking at his collarbones or the edge of his shirt where the fabric folds over. He knows for certain where you're looking because his eyes will wander to your chest given the opportunity so he knows what's going on.

It probably only takes seeing you really look once or twice before he's caught on and starts shifting so his shirt falls open a little bit on it's own. He doesn't try to be obvious about it at first, just letting things happen. He doesn't adjust it when it blows open slightly in the breeze, doesn't move his sleeve up when it slips one time and fully exposes his shoulder. Every time he wears the shirt it's like you physically can't help yourself but to lean forward in your seat like you're anticipating a plot twist in a holofilm.

All this lead ups to a day where you're struggling pretty hard to keep your cool about it and he notices and just. Pulls his shirt open right in front of you– it's quick, he plays it off like he's readjusting the top. It shouldn't technically be lewd, you've seen other men with even less on, but something about it is very, very suggestive, probably that he made eye contact with you and smiled a little as he did it.

Is it sick of me that it makes me think of starting a game where the two of you just... flash each other your chests? It's way more risky (if you've got fem-presenting tits) for you than it is for him, but even in a bra, it's going to absolutely make his day. I think it almost turns into like a competition to see who can flash who the quickest and least noticeably to everyone else. He started it, after all. And it's not like he's going to complain, either

Like a lamb to the slaughter.

Slight spoilers below!

Local idiot wizards can’t admit their feelings of friendship or romance without vulnerability so instead one manipulates the other into becoming Burgomaster (something he emphatically hates the idea of) while the other manipulates the manipulator into murdering his dad.

Vallaki is fine. Victor is fine. Emilia is fine.
