To be honest with you, I personally thought that once someone was fully puppetfied they couldn't be turned back. I felt like it worked that way just because the NRC group never lost their faces. Now I know twst isn't that deep, but I felt like visually it was implied that if a puppet doesn't have a face, it doesn't have a soul/free will. Since the NRC group never lost their faces they could still express themselves, and have a soul/free will even though it was hard for them because they were loosing it. However the puppets without faces have no thoughts of their own because they've lost themselves. (You could also think of the puppets like the donkeys from Pinocchio because it seems that's what they were going for).
I also feel like the puppets are repairing the ship to be honest because that's their whole job, and it showed the group destroying property not puppets.
Sorry for jumping around with my thoughts on your post, but honestly Gino and Ernesto are terribly written. I mean, it was literally said by Jack that there are schools for non magic people, and there are non-magic jobs mentioned in book 5 (I think). Somewhere in the main story Trey does tell MC the different jobs that don't require magic. And Ernesto is 26, so these definitely aren't new options in the world of twst to Ernesto.
Also while I do agree that Ernesto and Gino's riding into a sunset was underwhelming, but I do think it fits them because it seems like a lot of people are out to get them, for their shady reputation.
[twst Playful Land spoilers]
so like, what the fuck happened to all the other park guests??? did they stay as puppets??? are they still on the sinking ship???
can't say ive been too satisfied with this halloween event story, i was hoping the english localization would explain some things that i thought were lost in the fan translations. but no it just really does have nothing to explain the other guests.
also, i wasn't sure why there was such a focus of Gino having the interest in the NRC boys talking about school, if it wasn't even him that convinced Ernesto to start a school. idk that was just like a character plot that didn't seem to have much of a conclusion.
and also like, it feels weird having this human trafficker get off scott free of what he's done to, not just the NRC boys, but like presumably a lot of people. like, weren't the puppets working at the park previous guests that were turned?? and then the guest that were there on that day being turned into puppets?? and all the puppets from before that were sold off to high bidding people?? did THOSE rich people know the puppets they were getting used to be people???
like i appreciate that Ernesto's whole deal opens the discussion about the magic discrimination/classism that the world of Twisted Wonderland seems to have in its systems, but like this human trafficking thing is also opening up a lot of questions about the worldbuilding that i feel like is more important/weighty. so him just....running off into the sunset just feels....dissatisfying? i guess?
idk, maybe my appreciation for glomas is making it hard to not compare the two halloween events and what they bring to the table in terms of The World Outside of NRC i guess. if that makes any sense.
I don't think any of the minors in twst should be sexualized, since even if they're just fictional, the minors' personalities and beliefs are not finalized in the story. Look at Riddle as an example.
Also the main concern with the whole aging up thing is that people usually don't change much when aging a character up, and I feel like if a character is older their look would be different, and they would have more knowledge.
For example, in twst if you're going to age a character like Ace up to 18, he should have his UM by then, and as the writer you can make it literally anything you want for the fic.
However while re-reading this ask, anon mentioned all fandoms. Which I personally feel like is a whole new can of worms :(.
Like for example, in jjk the teenagers in there act like teenagers ๐คฏ, and in that anime, it's shown that Jujutsu Sourcers have a lot of learning to. That Jujutsu Sourcers aren't just mature and ready for anything when they're teens. Refer to the Hidden Inventory arc of the show.
So for an anime/show like jjk you can't just be like "Who cares if Megumi is 15, he's still hot." Because he still has so much to experience in life, and in his work force. Also if you want to argue that you can still age him up, please re-read my second paragraph.
If any of this was confusing to read, that's my bad.
here is my hot take on the twst fandom and all other fandoms, no one cares that "this character is 16 why does he look sexy? why is there porn of him?" their ages are made up, these characters are made up, none of this is real. anyone can age up the characters at any point and do whatever they want with any of them. these characters are more like icons than representation of real people. no one should care or put too much thought into any of this.
This one is hot enough to give some burns I think.
Thank you for your take.
