hi hiiii!! I didn't know you got into twst! and the fact you got to book 5 already surprises me since i got stuck on riddle's overblot fight for a month 😭

anyway highway, may i ask your thoughts on ace and deuce, if it's alright with you! :'

I actually finished book 5 'bout 3 days ago and I'm in a state of 'well now what :/ '

Anyone know when 6 is coming out?

I'm IN LOVE with MC's friend group, particularly the dumb and dumber, buy one get one free, double act that is ace & deuce. They're besties but they also think about killing each other twice a day. It's genuinely distressing to see one without the other. They're also such good friends to MC? And I really like how they all started out together. Love 'em both but Deuce has got a special place in my heart <3

Also here's my overall thoughts that I need to get out;

Leona may be a dick but he's so pretty it's nauseating

Idia makes Levi look like a party animal - that's....that's insane right?

Speaking of om!, the twst characters make the OM! characters look like well-adjusted, stable, functioning individuals

Love that there's a rule about how you can't use magic to fight at school when the students are actively trying to kill each other at least thrice a week

Hate hate hate the mickey mouse thing, he moved close to the screen at one point and my whole body jerked back

Loved the scarabia book but on a pillow in their dorm's common room there's a little patch that looks like m*ckey's head and i couldn't take my eyes off it the the entire time. It felt like a threat.

Whenever I see Malleus's "I'm afraid of losing you" line all I can think about is that tweet about balancing your entire mental health on the continued survival of an animal with a far smaller lifespan than you

Also can't get enough of what they did with his character design, you can't make Malleus look and sound and act like that - in a way that screams mystery and danger and then turn him into a pretty chill guy who's really kind of a dork who info dumps about gargoyles and adores his little tamagotchi and has cake based childhood trauma and arrives hours early whenever he's invited to something because he gets so excited about it and would do anything to make his foster dad(!!!????) and little human bestie happy. Im shaking. They said 'looks like he could kill you but is actually a cinnamon roll who could definitely still kill you' and they were so right for it

Rook's like...in love with Vil, right?

This is the second time I made an oc specially for a game and then had the game add some throw away detail that worked so well with my specific mc? (1:) named my OM! MC 'Eliza' short for E-Lizard/A-Lizard - Mammon's favourite possession ended up becoming the chocolate lizard keychain he bought with MC. (2:) Figured I should finally break away from ocs/mcs all having naturally dark hair - so made one with orange hair, gave them a couple pale pink highlights for funsies - 3 books later Floyd starts calling MC 'Lil' Shrimpy' and I realise their hair is the colour of boiled shrimp😬🤡

I'm in love with Epel's natural accent??

All these books are a lesson in why you don't let your cat eat random shit off the ground jfc

Anyway I had alot of fun! Shoutout to everyone who recommended this for giving me another hyperfixation!!

Episode 6 spoilers below!

Where do I even fucking begin?😭

I’m a sobbing mess right now. The last part came out May 20th, so it’s been two months already. Two freaking months trying desperately to move past chapters 66 and 67. Yes, I am pathetic and absolutely suck as a gamer. I never imagined twst devs were gonna challenge me like this. This is what I get for never taking a video game seriously, but I told myself “This is the hill I will die on. This is my grave to dig.” For two fucking months, I’ve done nothing but non-stop grinding, non-stop farming, spending all of my madol, tokens, notepads, notebooks, grimoires, honeys, and so on to level up so many cards.

As I mentioned before, I made a small change in line-up when I got to chapter 67 by adding Idia. The Riddle/Azul team did not require much attention when I did this. But, what was the Pomefiore team and Leona/Jamil… It was absolutely taxing.

If this serves as help to anyone, make sure you have SSRs that can duo magic. Get those magic levels to lv5 at least. Have someone in your party that can heal. Obviously, have some decent cards that work well against the titans. Like, I never imagined my SR Vil card to pack so much attack with his water magic. I’m honestly really surprised. Oh, make sure all your cards are groovied too. And, of course, study the way the titans attack and do your best to counter every one of their moves. I did miss once or twice, but I at least tried to be 100% accurate with the predictions. Otherwise, I’d restart the battle and try again.

That said, I didn’t struggle at all taking on OB!Idia (and Ortho). Idia’s overblot design had already been spoiled for me, but to finally see it for myself including Ortho was still a surprise. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but with my trusty SSR Dorm Riddle card, all I needed was a friend’s SSR Dorm Azul to duo magic with. With Azul’s healing, and the double duo magic between the two, countering Idia’s fire and flora attacks was super easy! And, again, I brought Vil’s ceremonial robes card to add that much needed back-up☺️ Lab Jade and GM Idia were there as little reinforcements. Really, I breezed through all three overblot battles.✨

And now, for a fucking round of applause. VIL SCHOENHEIT, GUYS!!!👏👏👏

All this Vil slander as of late…ABSOLUTELY NOT! DO NOT SLEEP ON THE POMEFIORE TRIO!!!!!

ROOK, EPEL, AND VIL STOLE THE FUCKING SHOW!! THEY ABSOLUTELY SAVED THE WORLD! VIL EVEN SACRIFICED HIMSELF!!!

Honestly, they were just introducing themselves in Book 5. Book 6 is where they truly shine!💖 And, I know I said it before jokingly, but seriously… They took in Yuu, and without hesitation made them one of their own. How they went out of their way to make sure Yuu was okay and safe, risking their very lives to protect them at any given moment, and just looking after their well being. Yes, the Pometrio absolutely became Yuu’s newfound family. I already had a feeling Vil was gonna let Yuu and Grim stay in Pomefiore while the renovations at Ramshackle were underway. I wish we’d gotten to see a bit of that, tbh. I’m just loving this new budding friendship/family.

To me, more than any other previous dorm, I feel like Pomefiore really stepped up to the plate and showed exactly why they are not just the oldest dorm in NRC, but why they are damn good at what they do. Vil’s leadership as housewarden went above and beyond, and he absolutely deserves to be at the top. Epel finally gaining his unique magic and developing in his own means while still leaving room for growth has me feeling so proud. And Rook, my sweet, precious Rook❤️ His support, his faith, and guidance, I’m thankful to him. To all of them.

Of course, Riddle, Leona, Azul, and Jamil are right there next to them. They may have all been “problematic children” as Idia calls them, but they definitely pulled their own weight. Even if they mostly spent it squabbling amongst each other. I’m relieved and happy they worked through their differences, and were able to pull through. Absolutely loved Azul’s back story, and Leona giving Jamil some much needed advice.

Now, for Idia and Ortho… Oh my god… First of all, I loved the world building and the Shroud lore. All the Hercules references were an absolute treat! However, Idia and Ortho…oof! I fucking cried. Ugly cried. Their story… The heartache, the sadness, clawed and broke my heart into pieces. I did not imagine such tragedy. Even the truth behind Ortho… I’m still blown away. Ortho is an absolute gem. He’s another character like Vil who slowly grew on me. And when I buy for Idia, I decided I couldn’t have him without Ortho. I love Ortho a lot more now. If only he’d come home to me already😭 And Idia…I don’t think a hug is enough to give. His grief impaled me deep in my soul. They were so innocent, merely wanting to see the outside world… Like Vil said, they have their dreams just like anyone else. But, of course, destroying the world is not an option😆 My love for the Shroud brothers deepened a lot more, though. They are so cute and precious. Protect them at all costs!🥲

That said, wow…. A group of teenagers put themselves in danger to stop the world from getting destroyed. If we’re gonna slander anyone, Crowley absolutely deserves it. Of course, there would be nothing incriminating him. Of course, he’d accept hush money from Idia’s parents and STYX HQ. I guess the only good thing to come out of this is Ortho’s new status and Idia now more willing to be friends even if he still needs a bit of encouragement and pushing.

I’m really looking forward to Book 7 now. However long it takes me, I know I can do it. And, I’ve got my eyes on Malleus. Oh, he was so sweet checking up on Yuu and making sure they weren’t hurt. But, I have a feeling this was a sign. Especially with Malleus seriously contemplating the fragility of humans now. Please, let me be right. I wouldn’t mind if Malleus kidnapped Yuu😭 Because I totally wanna be rescued by Idia😂💙

Let me recover my resources now😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
