Okey Dude Relax The Fish Is Yours, Jeez

Okey dude relax the fish is yours, jeez

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! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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]

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."
