I’m so sorry I’m still on Book Four I know I’m lazy but here take meme

That’s how you get a scholarship ykyk

Twisted Wonderland Game Guide Magic Archives II: released today!! Quick observations for those who wish to know what kind of content is inside:

If you are familiar with the first volume you know that there are detailed visuals and notes pertaining to each of the overblot forms, but only from Riddle to Jamil.

In MA-II there are similar details for Vil and Idia's overblot forms, but not for Malleus!

(We know that Malleus' notes exist as they were on display at the Twst Exhibition 👀 But they have not been included in this volume!)

Addition character design details provided for Neige, the dwarves, Ambrose, and college gear Ortho.

There is also an illustration by Yana on the thunder spear, showing how it is held, with Riddle and Azul wielding it together as an example!

Much like the first volume it consists largely of gameplay information. In the first volume there is then character visuals and notes by Yana, and this time there is a large gallery of sprites of all characters for all events, up to Tamasha Muina / Playfulland!

I read your rewrite of Chapter 2 (which was great, by the way) and would like to clarify some things. Of course, you wrote that the fixes were just you exploring possibilities, so you don't need to justify anything if you don't want to. 1. How would Leona join the investigation? Correct me if I am wrong, but Leona didn't seem to know about Yuu and co. until Riddle and Qater confronted Ruggie. For him to know about them so soon, someone (like an injured Savanaclaw student or a Savanaclaw student who overheard Yuu and co. questioning others) would need to let him know. Even then, would he be able to join without looking suspicious? 2. How does Leona plan to frame Diasomnia and get it to stick? He can point fingers all he wants and use the circumstantial evidence they gather to prove it, but Diasomnia has no reason to sabotage others when they have Malleus. Leona would most likely be aware of Crowley's biases, so is he just hoping casting enough suspicion would force Crowley's hand? Does he intend to convince students from other dorms to demand their disqualification despite the lack of motive?

[Referencing this post!]

Wow, people are still reading that?? 😭

As I said in the original post, my book 2 rewrite was more of a compilation of shower thoughts without much care given to fleshing out the finer details. It is by no means perfect, nor is it meant to cover everything.

There’s enough wiggle room left for various different interpretations using my book 2 rewrite as a basis. It’s meant to be flexible!

Just for fun, here are my thoughts:

To your first point, I don’t think Leona would come off as suspicious if his introduction was framed a certain way (which I’m sure he could plan around). Yuu and co. would be investigating all the dorms (since they’re all suspects), which includes Savanaclaw students. Leona could easily hear it from Savanaclaw mobs and then reintroduce himself to the group, claiming he also wants in on the investigation to seek justice for his injured students. Since Riddle is already investigating with Yuu, Leona could easily use that to distract from his true intentions. He would come off as just another pissed dorm leader trying to stand up for and avenge his dorm members. (And if we really want to get technical, we could reason the other dorm leaders are not getting involved due to other reasons, like Azul being busy with the inter-dorm event organization, Jamil not trusting anyone with Kalim but himself, Vil preoccupied with his professional gigs, Idia being Idia, and no one knowing where the heck Malleus has wandered off to now.)

To your second point, I think Leona definitely has the capacity to trick/manipulate other students into believing Diasomnia is responsible. He could set up situations which incriminate certain Diasomnia students (based on their unique skillsets), then leave the other dorms’ students to come to their own (false) conclusions based on that. Obviously, it would look too suspicious if he and Savanaclaw students are the only ones pointing fingers, so he has to convince the others to parrot the rhetoric he wants them to. If it was done this way, we achieve many things: 1) Leona comes off as way more intelligent than in the original book 2, 2) it sets up more parallels between him and Jamil (who also tried to get a lot of people to side with him under false pretenses to convince someone of higher authority to change their mind) for delicious book 6 payoff, and 3) it adds to the sense of betrayal the other students experience at the end when it turns out Leona deceived them.

Something I feel that the main story fails to do well is to define the rivalries between each dorm. It’s only mentioned a few times off-handedly, like how Octavinelle and Scarabia students are intelligent and are thus always neck and neck in terms of grades. In my revised book 2, an opportunity arises to utilize this untapped potential. Think about it: what if the other dorm members are more likely to suspect Diasomnia because the main story calls more attention to how the dorms do NOT get along with each other?? Diasomnia is described to us as a place where skilled all-around mages go, and this has resulted in the Diasomnia students being more arrogant than your average NRC student (which by itself is already very arrogant). From that point of view, it’s not too hard to believe that the other students could think Diasomnia is injuring other students “just because they can”. They’ve grown too arrogant and think they can get away with doing whatever they want because they won’t face the consequences of their actions. (Malleus himself is THE poster child of that across multiple events and vignettes too.) There doesn’t necessarily need to be a motive in the traditional sense; people could suspect that Diasomnia has gotten too high and mighty, so they are conceited and feel entitled to doing whatever the hell they want. It would be a perfect way for Leona to weaponize the preexisting animosity and pride of the NRC students against them. The injured students would then feel slighted because Diasomnia are being held up as the metaphorical “golden children” (despite their theoretical unethical behavior) while their suffering is looked over. These feelings ironically also parallel how Scar feels cheated of the throne because of his careless older brother and son, or even how the hyenas are not seen as part of the Pridelands.

Okey dude relax the fish is yours, jeez

you ever think about how deuce and ace rode bike, bus, and train just to get to night raven college after yuu sent an "sos" from their phone?

you ever think about how sebek saved epel's life in the harveston event without a moment's hesitation, even when he knew it might lose them the whole race?

you ever think about how all ortho needs to feel like things are going to be okay again is being surrounded by his fellow freshmen in the fairy gala remix event?

you ever think about how jack came to help ortho out of his funk in the fairy gala remix event? the same person who, days before, was entirely willing to let night raven college freeze to death? the same person who decided to help ace and deuce from their eternal, fishy servitude to octavinelle when there was nothing in it for him?

you ever think about how the first-years were the first ones to embrace ortho after he became a student?

you ever think about how deuce only entered into the sdc auditions because he thought someone needed to look out for epel?

you ever think about how ace was the first person willing to stand up to vil for epel since coming to night raven college?

you ever think about how yuu is always willing to help the first-years, no coercion from crowley required?

you ever think about how much the first-years care about each other, even if they don't know how to say that?

(you ever think about how they're still night raven college students, no matter how much they care? how they'd probably just let the world burn if it meant they'd survive, but they'll still look out for each other even if the world reeks of gasoline?)

you ever think of that?

because i know i do.

not romantic not platonic but a secret third thing [what would happen between earth and the moon if the earth stopped spinning as illustrated by xkcd randall munroe]

ok i drew the twst boys with my headcanons so i could practice drawing them BUT i dont think im EVER going to finish this (the full image is all nrc boys + staff + rollo + fellow and gidel... except i only got to malleus before i quit) so just take the only ones i am even SLIGHTLY happy with!! headcanons r under the cut!

ace: AUUGHG i actually really like this one he looks so cute. i gave him freckles ANDDD i headcanon him as filipino! (MY SEA BRETHEREN!!!! i also headcanon trey as viet but i cut him out because i hate how he turned out looking)

deuce: i gave him a few moles + he still has blond tips from his delinquent days! riddle: OHHHH BOY get ready. taking inspiration from the live action version of the queen of hearts, i tried to make his hair curlier (failed. may redo)! i also gave him the same mole, blue eyeshadow, and he wears heart-shaped lipstick!! his cheeks are also a bit rosier just because i thought it was cute. EDIT: HELP I FROGOTT O SAY THAT RIDDLE HAS FRECKLES TOO

jack: ok i dont rlly have any hcs for him im just happy with how i drew him here

leona: my.... my wife.... okay but u know whats rlly embarrassing. i sent this to a friend who knows nothing abt twst and she immediately clocked him as my favorite because of how much effort i put into him... anyway, i gave him a lipring, some earrings, a little bit of purple eyeshadow, and yellow irises. i really like taking inspo from the great seven for the dorm leaders

ruggie: i rlly only gave him freckles but i kind of want to go back and make his hair curly...

jade: AAAUAHGG HE!!! i wanted to lean into the mer aspects so i made his earshape similar to the earfins in his merform! along with that, he has a bunch of teal markings + teal lips

azul: he actually looks. so adorable here? im going to die. anyway i gave him octo eyes + little suction cup marks! theres also the faintest smidge of eyeshadow. OH and i gave him pearl earrings just cus i think theyd be cute

floyd: same thing as jade EXCEPT i did give him a lipring and some piercings as well!!

I like the concept that Sus Trio is all threatening and intimidating to Yuu, but after Azul's OB...

Azul: "I'm glad to see you're doing well, Yuu."

Jade: "Yuu, I find this wonderful tea, you have to try it."

Floyd: "Touch my shrimpy and you die."

Another shitpost for your heartshackle woes

| Vil Schoenheit analysis and animatic: my interpretation on Vil’s character and overblot 👑 |

———

(I haven’t read the newest book 7 chapters yet since I play on EN)

I’ve always interpreted Vil’s story as one of validation. He may be confident, he knows his worth, and yet he can’t give himself the validation he wants/needs. Hes got tenacity and believes in working hard to be his perfect self, which is admirable, but one must wonder how much of that ‘perfect self’ is influenced by others. What really is ‘the fairest of them all’? He works so hard to achieve what he thinks it is, and even after all that hard work he’s still second best to Neige.

Vil isn’t dumb, he knows his worth, he knows that Neige works hard too, and yet it stings. Do others dont appreciate how much effort you put in? He chases validation and because of that can’t truly love himself, which is exactly what Rook meant with what he said to Vil after book 5’s ending, something how about when Vil is old and wrinkly, as long as he truly believes he’s the fairest of them all, he is.

When Vil tried to cheat, tried to poison Neige, his whole world collapsed. His overblot was a very internal issue, unlike the other Overblotters, because he wasn’t being tenacious, he took a shortcut, which he famously doesn’t like. He’s the monster he thinks others think he is, partly because of his typecasting and the bullying he endured when he was younger. He let other people affect him so much, it’s a huge part of his overblot.

This is just my interpertation of course, but I barely see anyone talk about Vil’s character and OB besides his surface level jealousy towards Neige, and I think we should talk more about him. He is already trying, working so hard, but it’ll never be enough for him for as long as he isn’t happy with it himself. His perfection is toxic. Its admirable how hard he works, and he’s an incredibly smart, talented and even confident person, but his desire for perfection, for validation, would’ve destroyed him. There’s a reason he overblotted, and its not just because ‘waaah waaah I always get typecasted as the villain and mu rival is gonna win a competition 🥺🥺’, its so, SO much more!

I want more discussions about Vil because he has so much more depth than people give him credit for. He teaches us the important lesson of loving yourself, though he’s not very good at it himself yet! I’m sorry if this analysis is all over the place, I just wanted to ramble, and I just so happened to have made a sort of corresponding animatic!

Uhh that was my ted talk about Vil. Falls of stage and breaks my neck

I think about this all the time, and I plan on incorporating this idea in my fic!

An interesting point about this is that even though there is some meme and slang overlap demonstrated in the Eng version (Idia referencing the “me and the boys” meme comes to mind), a lot of our slang comes from pop culture references unique to our world.

The Twst cast would be very thrown off by religious references in particular. Religion, specifically Christianity, has been a major part of the English language for such a long time that even atheists end up saying “oh my god,” “thank god” or “Jesus Christ!” sometimes. Describing something as “godforsaken,” saying you’re “one helluva __” “on god,” etc. I headcanon that people in Twst would say use similar phrases in those contexts but with the Great Seven or the Greek gods.

And with pop culture slang, the boys would keep having to guess just how crazy the memes and references can get!

It starts with “no cap,” which is already very confusing to them, but they’re willing to brush it off as one of Yuu’s quirks. It’s when the references evolve into “balls deep,” “that’s what she said,” “none pizza with left beef,” “you’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?” etc. (Floyd especially loves that one), not to mention the dictionary’s worth of SpongBob references that they start to question Yuu’s world and their culture😂

I’ve read some Twst fics and headcanons that essentially disregard the whole other world thing and just assumes the boys know pop culture and references to Earth media that they shouldn’t know. Those are probably my least fave types of fics, so I like to think about this topic in spite of those.

Okay, I need someone to do something for me. I've seen posts about Yuu/MC occasionally saying things or making jokes about the Disney movies of the Great Seven and the other students' reactions to that... But what about slang from our world in general? Like...

Yuu and Adeuce get caught doing something mischievous by Riddle and Yuu makes up an excuse as to why they're acting suspicious and Riddle doesn't believe them so Yuu says "no cap"??? I just think it would be so funny.

Or if Yuu uses old slang from our world. My personal favorite is "Come on, snake, let's rattle", which could mean trying to fight someone or asking them to dance. (Imagine asking your crush to join you on the dancefloor and they just throw a punch 👊😅)

Anyway, I just want to see the cast really confused when Yuu uses a weird/crazy saying that none of them understand.. So yeah, someone please write this! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

ADEUCEYUU

I've just been thinking about it a lot lately idk why. Especially deuceyuu. He's as bad as Ace sometimes with the shenanigans but he takes good care of yuu, Ace does too, and they make it obvious. I saw a meme and it was like

Idiot protector (Deuce) x idiot enabler (Ace) x idiot (Yuu) and yeah that's about right.

Yuu is their shared special interest fr fr.

Since it is Deucey's birthday month~ He's not the smartest in the world but he's very hard working. Especially when it comes to keeping you safe, Deuce would break if he had to see you seriously hurt. If it had been you in the hospital wing after what happened in Book 6... it wouldn't have been pretty. He does have some boyish shyness about him that keeps him from really admitting it when confronted, but if he's just talking. Whether it's to himself or to you, so long as you don't force him to name what he's feeling because he doesn't quite know it yet, he'll admit to wanting to protect you. You're smarter than him after all, he values your opinion on things.

Ace is the one who calls you an idiot as he hides his affections and desires under false bravado. But when you make stupid decisions he doesn't stop you, he would follow you into hell without even a shred of "wishing you wouldn't go there" because he knows you probably have your reasons. He just wishes you would ask him outright for help, just once he wants to hear you say out loud how much you rely on him.

funny things ace has done/said that makes me think he might genuinely have feelings for the player character

flirts but then says it's a joke. literally goes "haha jk. unless? 👀"

suggested sharing a bed Twice

"i don't have time for dating when i have to worry about you" SIR????

"i didn't think i'd be into your type, but maybe i was wrong. just kidding! or am i?" I AM GOING TO KILL YOU

immediate first reaction to seeing yuu in danger is to protect them

legitimately worries about yuu when they're not around

gets defensive when yuu is insulted

hated the idea of having to abandon yuu to save himself during the playful land event, wanting to stick with them even when everyone was in active danger

is, to my knowledge, one of the Very few people who actually has yuu's phone number (im pretty sure he's the only one that actually asked for yuu's number?? malleus cmon step it up /j)

"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS?!" him literally every time yuu was in danger but is saved by someone else and wasn't the one to save them

his first response to getting an SOS from yuu was to drop everything and run to them instead of letting anyone else know (bro probably didn't even explain what was going on to his family 😭)

Heartslabyul x Yuu hits different. With every other dorm, I think Yuu’s connection to them is debatable as the main story usually only focuses on the conflict between the boys with Yuu being a vehicle to drive the main plot forward and let us watch it happen.

But, with Heartslabyul, even though the same thing could be argued here, because of Yuu’s connection to Ace and Deuce - who are the main focuses of the first chapter along with Riddle - it makes their connection to Heartslabyul as a whole more compelling.

It’s implied through Ace and Deuce’s voice lines(really the voice lines of pretty much all five of them) that Yuu regularly gets invited to their frequent Unbirthday parties. This plus the fact that Heartslabyul was the first dorm they ever had a proper encounter with just makes me think that Yuu is almost like an honorary Heartslabyul member.

Hell, one of Riddle’s dorm uniform voice lines is him instructing Yuu to respond to him with “Yes, Housewarden,” you can’t tell me he doesn’t unconsciously see Yuu as one of them.

Marvel movies have completely eliminated the concept of practical effects from the movie-watching public’s consciousness

I want to hug them and never let go😞

I'm re-reading a book I wrote 8 years ago (in preparation for writing the sequel) and it's been so long that I straight up forgot basically ALL the plot twists and secrets so I'm like WHAATT. OH MY GOOODDDD NO WAAYYYy every few pages, and just absolutely living. Sometimes the most important part is to write a book you enjoy reading.

hello! It's my first post on tumblr about my art, it's from an AU that I love, from Siren Vile x reader, I wanted to do it for a long time but yesterday I finished it, English is not my native language, so my knowledge of English It is slightly below average, but I will learn.

I hope you like it, if you are interested I have Twitter and Tiktok, although I upload pure content there in Spanish.

Pokémon Wilderness Project (2021-2023)

Inspired by going for runs in the spring and summer, playing Pokemon Go as I went. Really just enamored with the idea of encountering Pokemon but leaving them be. At some point I'm going to do more of these (most of which were drawn on Post-it notes) and collect them in a book.
