Uhh kinda stupid question from someone who's technically new to the fandom despite following the manga for a while, where do ya'll find the official au's and their art? Like the Monster nursery one, I've seen them a lot but where does one find the originals?
There are many places to find the AUs!! Fair warning, some of them like Monster Nursery and Ghost Hotel have multiple parts but they’re still easy to find

The easiest place to find them is through the wiki page. Just google the name of the au + “wiki” like I did in the image above, and the first link should take you to a page with the full au.

There’s dialogue and images that will take you through a Choose Your Own Adventure type story, only the options have already been chosen for you. This is probably my favorite place to read them just because it’s all very easy to follow

The next place to check is the @dbs-scans account here on Tumblr! They post all the official art and aus, and I think they might even post the chapters. To find the au you want you could simply Google the name of it and their account should pop up, or you could search their account directly through Tumblr by clicking on their archive or using the search bar feature on their blog

They include all the images from the au with the text that correlates with them translated below. I believe they usually do the aus in full, which is very helpful if you’re trying to find an au like Ghost Hotel with multiple parts. If they don’t have all the parts tho, you can always refer back to the wiki or go to the next source I’m about to show you

Our next resource is the hanakokun.officialarts account on TikTok. Beware, I don’t think they have all the aus, but I know they’ve posted some of them. They get their translations from the aforementioned dbs-scans account which kind of brings this response full circle lol, it’s a small fandom. They’ll post the images with the dialogue in the captions, and you should be able to find them in order all grouped together. You might have to scroll a bit to find some of the older aus. This is one of my favorite resources for keeping up with official TBHK content tho bcuz they post the new chapters in full and it’s an easy way to find official art
You might also be able to read the aus on Twitter if they’re still up but I don’t have Twitter so I couldn’t tell you for sure. At one point I was trying to find the last part of Ghost Hotel and I deadass had to refer to Google Images, sometimes you gotta scrounge around for yourself. But that shouldn’t happen too often because the resources I gave are very reliable!!
Thank you for this ask, and it’s not stupid at all!! I had to ask my TikTok followers where to find the HKOTO au a few months ago when I got a fic request for it. It took me a minute to figure out where to find all the content, which is standard for joining any fandom that has as wide a range for content as TBHK does. I’ve seen BSD fans have similar issues. And by asking that you probably saved a lot of people’s asses who were too embarrassed to ask the same question

Hanako-kun of magic witches talk about their crushes
I'd like to imagine that if Nene has magic in this AU, she'd use it to change her ankles and feel better about her body, this is definitely not an excuse because I forgot and don't look to closely at the outfits I DIDN'T FORGET WHAT THEY LOOKED LIKE DEFINITELY I JUST WANTED TO CHANGE THEIR OUTFITS I'M NOT THAT DUMB

Hello again! (I think this is really becoming a habit. 😅)
Today I have more of a curiosity question — it’s not exactly related to the recent chapters, but rather to one of the AUs (alternate universes) of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun.
Do you remember that wizard AU you mentioned when I asked about Hanako’s IQ? Well, I got curious about a few details in that AU. If you don't mind, I'd love to hear your opinion!
First question:
What do you think about the fact that, in this AU, Tsukasa has magic and is a strong wizard while Amane seems to be just a normal student without magic?
I wasn’t really sure whether, in this AU, people are born with magic or if they can somehow acquire it later, but I found it interesting that AidaIro chose to give Tsukasa powers while Amane seems “normal” (at least, in my opinion).
What’s your perspective on that?
Second question:
In this universe, it’s obvious that Amane knows Tsukasa is a wizard Since Amane stopped Tsukasa from kidnapping either Yashiro or Aoi, with a drone making him retreat and Tsukasa gives in so easily when Amane stops him, even though he seemed like he wanted to kidnap one of the girls.
I found that moment funny, but also a little sad. Tsukasa seems to have such a strong bond with Amane that he easily gives in to him.
Back to the topic: even though this is just an AU, it feels like AidaIro might be subtly sending a "signal" through it — Tsukasa having power, Amane being seemingly normal, but still recognizing and influencing him.
What do you think? Doesn’t it kind of reflect their relationship in the main manga?
P.S.:
Maybe I’m just overthinking it — AidaIro makes a lot of AUs that aren’t directly connected to the main story, but there are always little details that seem to match the current manga.
Since I find this AU particularly interesting, I would really love to hear your thoughts on it (if you don’t mind)!
This is purely out of curiosity!
Sorry if it’s not very interesting or if it sounded a bit confusing.
Hello!!!
It's interesting, I would say, that Aidairo likes to say all the time how "normal" Amane was, including in the meaning of his own name. We see a bit of this when he mentions the twin stars, where one shines brighter than the other.
Something that is reinforced in small points throughout the canon story. In the AU we go something more direct, with Tsukasa being the most powerful, the one who stands out the most, the great magician who started this story.
Despite everything, I wonder if Amane really prefers the title of "normal" that he has, instead of "different" or "popular". The twins have this thing of contrast, when Amane is one thing, Tsukasa is another.
He himself says that he and Amane are opposites.
About the source of magic (I needed a little help from my sis to remember this) it can be acquired by normal people using some spells, turning some characters into sweets, like Kou, for example.
But, there's nothing to say that people aren't born with magic, it's something they have to discover for themselves. Still, maybe not just anyone can become a magician. (Thanks sis for helping me remember that XD).
Amane is the smart guy who likes to create complex things using his hands, like robots, fixing watches, etc. He has a "teacher" style.
While Tsukasa is more inclined towards practical things related to "power", be it physical strength or magic. Even though Tsukasa is undeniably smart, he doesn't seem to be interested in things like mechanics or robotics like Amane.
Tsukasa wanted to have some fun, in the literal sense of the word. From the beginning he's been testing the girls, when they rebel against him, he has fun. Nothing too serious.
Even though Tsukasa loves Amane, when he wants something, not even his older brother can stop him.
That's why it wasn't anything serious.
Just remember the clock arc, Amane had to stop Tsukasa by force, because he didn't listen to his requests. Amane had to stick the knife in Tsukasa's sleeve to make him stop.
Tsukasa gives in when he doesn't consider something important.
So, going back to the AU, yes, Amane knows XD.
And yes, there may be this reference or slight connection. Aidairo usually does this sometimes, an AU that can show us the future in canon or something specific to keep an eye on.
Twitter event:

Canon:
So yes.
Don't worry dear! Thanks for the ask and sorry for the delay in answering. ^^

Welcome to tbhk-twt-events!
Mod uses they/them, call me Wyvie. (I also run @low-quality-tbhk)
Quick note, I do not speak Japanese. I am grabbing translations of events from other sources, and putting them here onto Tumblr.
I made this blog because I need an ad-blocker to navigate the Fandom Wiki and Twitter doesn't let you view the site properly without an account. It is very frustrating to try and see all of the events AidaIro has done. I imagine other people have the same issues viewing the Twitter events, so time to put them all onto Tumblr in one place.

evelyn's to-do list!
HIIII im writing my to-do list for real!!! this will consist of all my oc/au/series/story/etc ideas and will constantly be updated as i start finishing things up and coming up with new ideas! FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS ANY OF THESE W/ ME I'D BE HAPPY TO TALK ABT THEM cw for: death, alcohol, addiction, rabies
Stories/Series Concepts:
╰┈➤ NRC School Myths: A series of stories about school myths at Night Raven College, their origins, and truths, told in second-person point of view where you are Yuu. A mystery/drama/horror series, a bit similar to Jibaku Shounen Hanako Kun. ⊹₊ ⋆╰┈┈➤ 1. The Ghosts of the Woods: In 1953, two best friends of the Ramshackle Dorm, one human and one dog beastman, have a falling out in the midst of november of their second year. The dog beastman contracted rabies from a bat while on a walk, his behavior escalating in aggression in the coming days. In their most explosive argument in the woods behind NRC, the dog beastman bit the human. In a moment of clarity, the dog beastman cried out in remorse, and the two wept as they held their final converastion. They both died in the woods that day. With a story told through the form of tall tales and dusty photographs in the attic of Ramshackle, it's up to Yuu to find out what really happened all those years ago. ╰┈➤ Whalefall (also an AU kinda): In which whales have magic imbued in them, and the eradication of them on earth through whaling begins to cause environmental catastrophy. When Yuuki, a young girl who was adopted into a family living in a coastal town, gets suddenly transported to Twisted Wonderland, she begins to learn that she's not as normal as she thinks— and not as human either. With the help of the Octotrio and some other mer at NRC, Yuuki finds out exactly what she is, and exactly why her home-world is doomed. A mystery/drama series. ╰┈➤ Bent on Bitterness: In which an NRC professor and the RSA librarian find companionship in each other through a shared love (read: addiction) of alcohol, first finding each other in a dingy bar in the port town of Sage Island. A bittersweet (unrequited?) romance series.
OCs:
╰┈➤ Salmon/Tuna Mermaids: Inspired by that one drawing: a salmon mermaid and a tuna mermaid who fall in love with each other, just to be ripped apart by the salmon mermaid's nature.
╰┈➤ Parapuzosia Seppenradensis Merman: A merman of an ancient, now extinct species of Nautilus. Cursed all the way back in the age of gods, he wakes up in modern-day Twisted Wonderland, having to face the fact that he is the last left of not only his family, but his entire species.
╰┈➤ Eastern Red Bat Beastman: i just wanted to make another cute dessert oc LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
╰┈➤ Mosquito Vampire Fairy: A diurnal fairy (the small kind) that "works" (read: messes around) inside the botanical gardens at NRC. Mischevious and sarcastic, she's Aprilla Belrose's rival and eventual love interest.
AUs:
╰┈➤ TWST Kuutei Dragons AU (with Evleo!!): Based on the manga 'Kuutei Dragons' or 'Drifting Dragons,' a crew of drakers (dragon hunters) take to the skies in their air ship, explore the world, and make some delicious food. At the center of this story is the Night Raven Draking ship, captained by run-away prince Leona Kingscholar and sponsored and named after Night Raven University. Evelyn, newly-graduated from NRU and a dragon biologist, joins the crew of the Night Raven Draking Ship after Crowley, headmaster of NCU, finally gets off his ass for once and does something productive, reccomending her to Leona. This AU will be open to other peoples OCs!! It will also include every single TWST character possible!
thats all for now!! going to update this whenever i need to
@taruruchi @honeyedpearcrushh @teighveepao @boopshoops @scint1llat3
@h2llish @viperbunnies @buttholesparkles @oya-oya-okay @cheerleaderman
@qsoap @angelwishess @gimmeurmoneyagh
#navigation#twst#twisted wonderland#twst oc#my ocs#the evleo to-do list is even longer than this but im going to save that for the evleo navigation blog

Why I love Hanako x Aoi together
I received a few questions about this and instead of answering separately I decided to make it a post so as not to repeat myself and also express my love for this ship that I have.
Let's start
One panel from p.p arc made me interested in this ship

Aoi jokingly talks about being jealous of him as he blushes. It's a sweet and adorable moment that made me see them as a potential couple.
p.p arc is the beginning of content for Hanako and Aoi. Aida and Iro could have given any random girl or two to fangirl over for Hanako in this fake world, but they didn't. They chose Aoi.

The main ship was not shown, only Hanako and his expression, where Aoi is a fangirl and is fascinated by him. This will show that she is interested in him.
She was the only one who said something nice about him.

What I find ironic and funny is that when Hanako tried the chance to ask daikon out the only person who was happy was Aoi and congratulated her. That's when I understood that it should have been Aoi instead of her

At the end of the arc Hanako and Aoi were shown interacting during school break.

they both feel good with each other at the beginning of the conversation and that's it. it's lovely.
AR gave a lot of adorable and genuinely sweet moments between them in the p.p arc and it made me understand that Aoi would be interested in Hanako if he was one of their classmates.
In chapters 23-24 previously before p.p arc. Hanako in daikon's body wants to kiss Aoi!

Hanako wanted to kiss Aoi and would have done so if he hadn't been interrupted. Aoi is the first girl that Hanako wanted to kiss sincerely. Hanako shows that he is interested in her and Aoi showed genuine interest in him in real world

Literally these moments shaped me into a HanaAoi shipper. The reveal of Aoi and her past and her personality made me love this ship more because I saw the depth of her character and this ship. Their similarities to each other are fascinating. Aoi would understand his pain and past and try to help him, and most importantly, give him the support he needs, because despite their different experiences, their suffering is similar, he did it for her as well.
Aoi proved that the brief interaction between them made her see through him.

Aoi literally opened up to him where she had just met him. This is the 1st time in the manga that Aoi opened up to a stranger. Hanako couldn't deny her.

She laughed at him because of their similarities, it was adorable and it was truly the first time she had seen Aoi laugh sincerely.
She shared all this with Hanako with no one else!
Hanako quickly figured it out too and knew she wasn't being honest at that moment.

and here

He knowingly allowed himself to be led into a trap.That's why I think they would both understand each other very well both pain and both tried to help each other. They are both ready to help the people they love without drawing attention to themselves,their little games were such a cute bonus.
Hanako calls Aoi by her first name, indicating that they are close.

It's also funny that daikon being in a relationship with him and having his permission to call him by his first name still uses Hanako-Kun, and Hanako still uses yashiro-san.
When Hanako first started out he had no problem calling Aoi by her name. Another moment where this ship is first from the main and Aida and Iro proves to me that their bond is really close,even if Hanako uses her name without her permission, it doesn't bother her that he's a bit rude. I'm sure Aoi would use his real name "Amane-Kun" if only she knew Hanako's real name.
In Magic AU on AidaIro Twitter
Aoi eats Amane's cookie and she dresses up as a bunny.
Another moment of HanaAoi as a student and a witch in Magic AU from AidaIro
Hanako hide Aoi from the supernaturals knowing that they cannot protect her and she will become a target for other supernaturals and give her a boost as if she were hungry.
Despite his obvious purpose he really didn't have to care that much about her, but he did by asking about her life and covering her up to hide her and giving her the launch.
They are both shaped by their past and despite their fears they both try to help those they love and be the best support they can. They both have their own problems to deal with, but at the same time they are willing to give their all to those they love without thinking about themselves. They are still learning and making mistakes that teach them.
Aida and Iro gave few moments, but some of them are really cute or overtake the main ship. I love what Aida and Iro have done so far with them. I literally appreciate every moment and every line with them. This ship has a lot of potential as shown by AR. They are both fascinating separately and together.
Why wouldn't I love them? They're so fantastic and their moments are just perfect for me.
HanaAoi is a wonderful ship that deserves more love.
Glory to HanaAoi
cute art my wonderful dear friend @keiirauuu

Hanakou Familiar AU
So in this AU the idea of a Familiar is a supernatural being in a partnership with someone as in bounding their souls, not only do they share each other power but also their emotions and memories but that part isn’t controlled but yes also in a common definition of familiar in magic is a supernatural guiding and serving the person
My idea on this is kou come across this somewhere when reading some scrolls on exorcism and using it to save hanako in some extremely dire situation. soooo after that they tried to figure how this is going to work for now on. And also bunch of shenanigans in or even outside of school and the slow building of romance between the two.
Inspired by

this gonna be a weird question but ever since i have know Aoinene. I have always found a consistent theme of Aoi being a lesbian. While it cool, interesting and all, it hard to found anything canonically to use to prove the interpretation beyond "it just a vibe" . It doesnt interfer with the shipping experience but it still an interesting HC that i would love to found some canon material to build on.
I’m so glad you asked this, I’ve been trying to find a way to talk about my feelings on the lesbian Aoi headcanon for a while now. I’ve written it in my own fics a lot but I have some issues with the way people treat it so I’d like to make this a more nuanced discussion
First off, where does it come from? To answer that question you have to keep in mind that as the manga chapters were being released, fans had no idea where AidaIro planned to go with Aoi and Akane’s relationship beyond what they could infer. While it seems obvious in hindsight that Aoi always liked Akane, a lot of lesbian readers overlooked those hints because they were able to relate to being pursued by a relentless man that they didn’t want. They found comfort in Aoi’s character because her perceived disinterest in Akane was something they could connect to their own experiences with their male best friends falling for them

Then we have this scene, which is a whole rollercoaster in and of itself. At this point in the manga, fans didn’t know Aoi was faking her personality. She only existed as Nene’s popular best friend, the girl with the rumors. And, of course, the girl who kept rejecting Akane. Aoi and Nene seemed to have a very close friendship, so when this scene came out, many readers jumped to the conclusion that Aoi planned to confess to Nene. This, coupled with her constant rejection of Akane, led many fans to believe Aoi was a lesbian. Not just as a cool headcanon, but as an actual theory. To this day some fans still call her queercoded, and that’s where I have a bit of an issue with the headcanon
Because, despite all of this, Aoi isn’t a lesbian in canon. She’s not even coded to be one. In fact her and Akane’s characters aren’t able to develop without each other. Some fans chalk this up to bad writing or lesbiphobia, stating that Aoi never showed interest in Akane up until chapter 69, but this simply isn’t true. There were numerous hints that Aoi liked Akane back, since his feelings for her were first introduced. She’s shown to be absolutely devastated at the possibility of him dating someone else, and in the Clock Keepers arc we see that she’s been encouraging his pursuit of her this whole time. Fans may not like them, but it’s impossible to deny they’ve been set up since the beginning of the manga- on both sides
However, if you were to call Aoi sapphic coded/bi coded in canon, you wouldn’t be far off. In the Hanako-Kun Of Magic au, Mei fell in love with Aoi through a spell. After the spell wore off, they were confirmed to still hang out. They hang out so frequently, that it makes Mei’s little sister jealous because Aoi is stealing all her attention

It wouldn’t be a reach to assume they’re dating in this au, which would make Aoi bi or bi-coded in canon (though it’s very up to interpretation so I wouldn’t say she’s as strongly bi-coded as Kou or even Nene). It rubs me the wrong way when people discuss her potential queercoding and entirely ignore her feelings for Akane just because they don’t like the ship, it feels biphobic. It’s also been implied that Aoi has liked men (or people in general) other than Akane, he joins school clubs based on whoever her current type is
Canon aside though, I’d like to talk about why people like the lesbian Aoi headcanon. Namely, why I still like it in fanon despite feeling that it has a very weak basis in canon. Because for some fans, Aoi’s true personality reveal only made their love of the lesbian Aoi headcanon stronger
Remember how I said fans overlooked Aoi’s feelings for Akane because they projected onto her? I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with that as long as they aren’t bringing their bias into analyses. I’ve read many Aoi queercoding analyses where the creator completely ignores Aoi’s attraction to men in canon due to their own projection, and I hate to say it but that is a bad way to analyze. I’ve mentioned before that I strongly relate to Nene’s shallow crushes on men because they remind me of my own experiences with comphet, but I would never call Nene lesbian coded because that would ignore her entire arc with Hanako. Project onto characters all you want but leave that out of your analyses
Anyways, the reveal that Aoi had been faking her personality only gave the lesbian Aoi headcanon more fuel. At this point in the manga, fans were already fully convinced that Aoi was a lesbian…so to find out the pretty popular girl was hiding her true self from the world?? I mean that sounds queercoded as hell. And I won’t lie, I relate to that a lot too. The need to hide who you really are is a nearly universal queer experience, so pretty much any character that has that storyline is going to hit home for a lot of queer readers. That same trope also plays into Mitsuba’s queercoding, so yeah. Despite all the romance stuff with Akane that happened in those chapters, the big takeaway for lesbian Aoi truthers was that Aoi had been hiding a part of herself that the world would shame her for
This is furthered by her relationship with femininity. Aoi plays the role of the ideal popular girl, a common archetype in media. These girls are feminine, passive, kind, humble, and all the boys love them. That is the image Aoi presents to the rest of the school. However, the real Aoi is nothing like that. I wouldn’t go as far as to call her masculine, but she doesn’t act like the poster child for femininity when she’s being her true self. She’s bitter, arrogant, spiteful, and she only really cares about two people. Lesbians tend to have a very complicated relationship with femininity, because heteronormativity asserts that the defining trait of being a woman is your relationship to a man. As a woman, you are someone’s wife, daughter, mother, sister. So when a woman has no interest in men, she loses a core part of her “femininity.” Some lesbians choose to embrace this, they have no interest in femininity so they perform whatever gender presentation they want. Other lesbians reclaim femininity as something defined by themselves, not society. So when lesbians see a character faking her personality to conform to the societal expectations for her gender…oops she’s one of us now lol. This is also why the transmasc Aoi headcanon is popular, though I won’t be getting into that today
There are more simplistic reasons people like the lesbian Aoi headcanon. It fits a trope, the popular girl who’s pressured to be perfect is secretly a lesbian. Then she falls for her fun and quirky bisexual best friend. Unfortunately this is where the headcanon gets very boiled down, people want Aoi to be something that she’s not in canon. They want her to be a trope rather than her own, unique character. The aesthetic girlboss lesbian. She hates Akane and has a huge crush on Nene, maybe some mommy issues and that’s all there is to her. I don’t like these type of headcanons very much, they reduce queerness to an aesthetic rather than an experience. As I mentioned, the lesbian Aoi headcanon does have potential for fanon content, but some fans sadly reduce it to a stereotype
I’ve written both bisexual and lesbian Aoi, and I think they both have their perks. Lesbian Aoi requires a bit of stretching/rewriting of canon, which can be fun but it has to be handled very carefully. Otherwise you get fics that villainize Akane and ignore Aoi and Nene’s complexities. It’s perfectly fine to project onto a character and headcanon them a certain way for comfort, but in terms of characterization I would recommend people try to look past those biases when they’re writing analyses. Fanfic is a bit different bcuz that depends on whether or not you’re trying to stay in character lol, this might be controversial but some writers just don’t care and that’s fine too. They’re just writing it for fun, it doesn’t have to be that serious. Still, I would like to see more fics that keep Aoi and Nene closer to canon (they absolutely exist dw)
The reason I hesitated for so long to address this headcanon is because I wanted to find a way to talk about it sensitively. Queer fans, especially lesbians, already get a lot of flack for their headcanons and I didn’t want to make it seem like I was invalidating anyone’s experiences. If the lesbian Aoi headcanon brings you comfort then, yes, Aoi can absolutely be a lesbian. Fandom is about fan enjoyment, not authorial intent, so headcanon the characters however you want. Just don’t push those headcanons into others, and try to at least be aware of what’s going on in canon. And again, don’t write an analysis if you’re going to be biased. A better way to do it would be something like “I recognize that AidaIro didn’t go this route but it would’ve been interesting if they made Aoi a lesbian.” An analysis like that might have some weight to it!! Aoi and Akane are a super cute ship, but another straight relationship is nothing revolutionary in fiction. However, canon lesbians in a shonen series?? That’s something you don’t see every day. People have valid reasons for wishing Aoi had been written differently, I just wish they would accept that she didn’t get written that way rather than ignoring canon
Sorry if this isn’t what you were expecting, I hope I explained all sides of the headcanon well enough. Tbh a lot of it is just “vibes” but once you look past the surface, it goes a lot deeper. I also want to clarify that Aoi faking her personality reading as queercoding could absolutely work with her being bi too, bisexuals also have to hide a part of themselves and that’s something other lgbtq+ individuals often overlook. The reason it reads specifically as lesbian coding to some fans is because of her projection of femininity being fake so, by extension, her encouragement of the men who pursue her must be too. That’s obviously not canon but some fans believe it would’ve been a cool route to go. Okay that’s it I think I covered everything lol
Thanks again for the ask, I’m glad I finally got the opportunity to talk abt this <3
