Keep pushing your limits. You'll probably surprise yourself.

How do you guys memorise twisted corners? What I do (I have white on U and yellow on D) is to make letter pairs from where the white and yellow stickers of the twisted corners are. These go in a separate location in the room of course.
Setup: left sune right sune. For this I would memorise either MN or NM since the white sticker is on N and M

The only cube I can do BLD is a 2x2 and I only succeed 1/2 of the time, maybe 1/3. I might attempt a 2BLD multi blind with 2 2x2s tomorrow. Here's a vid of my 2BLD PB on camera: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5VbKtnL2g5Q

11/13 in 55:06, PB on time. I really want to get 12/13 or even 13/13 at Nationals.

I'd guess the most common way is to make a letter pair from where the white/yellow sticker is and where it's supposed to go. So MC and NB in your example if I understand it correctly. If you have a specific spot in your memory location where you always put twisted pieces, then just putting MN in that spot seems like a good way to do it too.
I do it differently, and I know it's bad way, so I don't recommend anybody use my methods, lol, I'm just sharing how I do it. I don't use letter pairs, but with 2 twisted corners I would try to make a 'twisted' pair, so I'd probably come up with 'a twisted MaN'. Since I use a different letter scheme, it would be E and F for me, so probably 'twisted iron' (Fe = iron). If I can't come up with something then I'd just remember 'M and N are twisted'.

where did you guys learn how to do multibld?

If you can do 3BLD it's quite self explenatory mostly. Altough you can get some tips to improve from these forums for example. But really in theory it's quite simple. Just use journey/loci and VISUALIZE everything...
And for learning 3BLD I'd recommend Noahs tutorials

Sigh, another 3/5. This one is especially infuriating.
I completely forgot to memo corners on the 4th cube because edge memo was quite hard (3 or 4 2 swaps I think). Somehow missed it during review.
Raged and gave up on the last cube lol

11/13 again, ugh. 2 flipped edges and an edge 3 cycle. The time was quite good for me, though, especially memo: 52:33.30[30:35.65]. I'm happy to be consistent, but I'd really prefer to be accurate too.

Third try of more than 5 cubes. This time 4/9 in 1 hour. One cube 2 twisted corners. Second two flipped edges. Third off by 3 edges and 2 flipped edge. Last two - mess. Sadly one of last these two was the first I've solved. And the second mess was caused by the whole in memo.

11/13 in 47:06. Memo was going really badly for the first four cubes, so I pushed the rest of memo and was very surprised to see 28:2x on the stopwatch right before memoing the final cube! Execution was super fast, too. I thought I had 12/13 for about 20 seconds until I found an edge 3-cycle on the back of a cube.

First try at 6, 3/6

15/17 in 1:12:16.51[47:42.94]. I knew I wasn't going to be under an hour, but I just wanted to try 17 for fun. 3 corners on one cube and 3 edges on the other.

Y not? You just left out 5 cubes, going to six
the next attempt I'll Do with my guanlongs will be from 7 to 11 Wow! You've been improving a lot lately, since you got your guanlongs(?)!!! Was that improvement ez?

Thanks! The main reason I've been improving, I think, is that my memo is sticking better, which means quicker review and faster execution. I was improving really fast at the beginning - my first attempt at 11 cubes was faster than my first attempt at 9 the day before! - but now I'm starting to plateau a bit. I think the way for me to improve now is to practice small multis, like 5 in under 15 minutes.
My short term goal is to get 17 under an hour, but I really want to be able do over 20 in the future. I may have to switch to a faster method to do that, though; right now I use TuRBo edges/OP corners.
I'm also attempting 13 in comp this weekend, at US Nationals!

First try at 5 cubes, 2/5 in 44:22. My first mbld attempt that felt difficult. My memory recall seemed fine, but I was unable to think clearly about anything else. Had to redo memo for last cube several times because I kept failing tracing the pieces, and had trouble thinking during execution. Succeeded at one thing, finding my current limit before first comp this weekend. I'll try 3 cubes in 1st round, and if I somehow get 3/3, I may try 5 again in 2nd round.

22/25 @ 59:40
I'm still cutting it close but it seems to always stay just below the hour mark which is enough
From my last 10 attempts only 1 is worse than current NR so I should be able to improve it in next comp 15.-16.8. :tu Especially since I get 2 attempts.
But then again it's a comp and I'll probably suck

My GuanLongs arrived today, so I decided to step it up to 11 cubes. I wasn't sure if I was going to fit it in the hour, but surprisingly it was 50:16.32[32:17.77]. Unfortunately it was 7/11, so only 3 points. One was 2 corners twisted, and one was 2 flipped edges. Not sure if memo mistake or execution mistake. On another I mixed up two corner pieces so I had parity on corners but not edges in my memo, and other was 4 edges/4 corners, so extra/missing turn somewhere. No significant recall pauses, and I could definitely push my execution a lot faster if I wanted.
It was only five weeks ago that I tried more than 4 cubes for the first time, which was 5/7 in 50:18, so I'm pretty happy with my progress. If I could get 11 points in competition then I think I would reduce my nemesis list down to around 3 people
Good luck!

4/6 AGAIN
1 cube off by M (ouch) and another, I missed a 2 cycle of edges.
