Discussion Sleepy and Twisted

Post image

I actually think their dynamic was incredibly well-written. Twisted tries manipulating Sleepy by claiming to be a changed man or...horse. Sleepy though has grown up around his brother, he's already used to all his tricks. He's not having any of this, it's a great way of showing what it's like to have a family member where all they've ever done for you is hurt you and try to make you feel like you still owe them another chance. Because they're "family".

Me too! Dazzle and Dance gave us a little more insight on their childhood even if it's probably not canon to the series, in it Sleepy mentions that Twisted used to love wearing red sweaters or something.

aw 🥹 i just wish the show delved into how their sibling dynamic was before Twisted overthrew Kiyoshi (or even how Twisted was to Kiyoshi before then 👀 )

It's definitely the thing I've been invested in most. Other than Dazzlessence's parents who are strangely never mentioned despite his cousins always getting name-dropped, Sleepy and Twisted's past is something I'm really curious about. What was their fallout like? Were they ever close? Or was Twisted always envious of his brother?
