#THE JACK SKELLINGTON GUY

[ventique18]

Leona: "... Oi, they said he's the Halloween King. You heard of him?"

Malleus: "No... I do not recall a Jack Skellington having ever existed."

Malleus: "Halloween King? King of Fear? Pumpkin King? This is the first I've heard of such things."

(Genuinely glad that even Leona consults with Malleus when it comes to remembering things. They at least recognize that he's the most knowledgeable among them.)

Jamil then explains the details of Halloween that everyone in Twisted Wonderland knows about, but notes that he's never heard of Jack Skellington in that legend. Skully admits that it's understandable that they don't know, given that the legend is only known to a limited amount of areas. Sebek asks where,

Skully: "In my hometown."

Sebek: "That's completely limited!"

He then shares that everyone in his village loves and reveres Jack,

Skully: "Indeed! And of course I as well adore him. I LOVE both Halloween and Jack-sama, more than ANYTHING in world."

(HE ACTUALLY USES "AISHITE" OH MY GOD he's completely Jacksexual 😭)

He then agonizes that while people in his village love Jack, nobody outside seems to feel the same.

Skully: "... Haa, they really are stupid people. How aggravating."

Skully: "But ah! Did I truly meet Jack-sama in the flesh? Is this a dream? Ahh, if that's so, then please never wake me up..."

Azul: "Rather than a dream, this is very much a nightmare... Ugh, that skeleton really is moving."

Skully: "Might you please stop calling him a skeleton! I am begging everyone... to please call him Jack-sama."

Jack: "No, no. Just Jack is fine. Everyone in town calls me that."

Jack then asks where everyone came from, and Leona admits that they're from Twisted Wonderland.

Jack: "Hm. I've never heard of such a place."

Leona: "I knew it. This place really isn't in Twisted Wonderland!"

"WE'RE NOT IN TWISTED WONDERLAND?!"

what nightmare before christmas did y'all watch

[jasdiary]

i like to think Juvia knows ab disney, the villains and references and all, but keeps it to herself. Like, she knew if she said “omg that’s the evil queen!” in front of everyone, she’d get shot. That and she doesn’t wanna mesh the two worlds, it feels wrong.

Which brings me to my original thought : She’s says fuck all that and gets so geeked when she meets Jack Skellington. The Nightmare Before Christmas may not have been her fave movie growing up, but she always had a soft spot for this guy. She sees Skully and goes “hm. ok, the Jack Skellington of this world i’m guessing.” and then she sees THE MAN HIMSELF and loses her fucking mind.

“Oh my goodness, It’s Mr. Jack!-“

“JACK SKELLINGTON?????”

This would probably be the point in time she makes it clear that Twisted Wonderland does have some sort of correlation to her world, just not in the way everyone thought. I fully think her and Skully are jumping up and down together when they meet him.

“Juvia, You know this guy?”

“HELLO??? THAT’S THE PUMPKIN KING HIMSELF HAVE YOU NEVER WATCHED THE MOVI- Oh.”

Can you tell i’m enjoying this event and its characters

these are so bad but I'm thinking about jack lately (of course naturally with the halloween post update coming soon) and thought about making a tnbc comic filled with scenarios I want to see between characters?

What's this? What's this?!

It's NBC fanart!

Yes I know it's August,but good golly, I have been so very fixated on this man lately! And so I had no choice but to draw him. I might draw Sally next, not sure.

So. . . Basically I am loving the idea of the new Halloween event! I do have a couple of hangups, but it's nothing that breaks the game.

First off the premise!

Another book-based event! Much like with Stitch in the beach episode, it looks like Jack Skellington, Sally, and Zero are all going to be characters that our chosen cast interacts with!

While this will be a lot of fun, I am a bit sad that this means we likely won't get officially "twisted" versions of these characters (barring Skully but we'll get to him). Also the book-based event means that, likely, whatever happens can be considered semi-canon at best because everyone will just end up with amnesia and forget the whole thing happened in the end which is a little less fun.

Next up!

"Skully J. Graves"

Not much to say at this point. Love him. Love his design. Gojo is reincarnated and I'm not complaining. I can't wait to see how he interacts with the casts of NRC and Nightmare Before Christmas. How will he fit into the story?

Being Twisted from the Pumpkin King himself (confirmed by Yana Taboso!) I wonder exactly how he'll be as an antagonist to our boys, if at all.

And of course the new cards!

~Fabulous~

~Chef's Kiss~

~Mmmwwwwaa!~

I was hoping for a different group of SSRs, but I won't harp on that too much. The guys look great! We've gotten 2 Jamil cards in a row now with his hair down and I think he looks great! Sebek is so dapper in that hat, and he was one of the characters I hoped would get a gold card for this Halloween. ~And LEONA. WOW. Man, he looks awesome in an eyepatch. Like, I know he doesn't need it, but that is actually the PEAK of his character design.

IT ONLY TOOK 5 YEARS FOR SAVANACLAW TO GET A HALLOWEEN SSR!

I was honestly hoping that Jack Howl would get it because he's so neglected (HIS LAST EVENT CARD WITH A GROOVY ILLUSTRATIONS WAS PORT FEST!) and Ruggie and Leona generally get more attention than him, but Leona is fine for now I guess (Stop stealing Jack's cards!). The card looks great and Jack can always have one next time. He isn't in this event which is a pity, but at least that means next time is open for him! (We're running out of characters to rotate into the SSR slots. . .kind of frustrating actually.)

As for the rest of the cards: They look great too! Honestly, I'm happiest to see Vil, Azul, and Malleus get the R cards they so deserve (mostly Vil because he should have had one last year!). The one thing I agree with in terms of negative aspects is that Idia does seem a little lack-luster for an SR card. I think we're just very used to his Phantom Bride attire and this is kind of a downcycle of that look so I don't blame people for being underwhelmed honestly.

Also, Trey is out of R-Card Hell! Good for him. :)

Final thoughts and hopes for the event?

I think it's funny that they need to specify it as Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas.

I think that each of the SSRs will get a featured character to have alongside their chibi battle sprite. Much like Stitch is with Lilia and Floyd. (A leaked image has Sebek with Zero, so I think the safe bet is that Leona will have Jack and Jamil will have Sally.

All of the overblotters are in this event, which is the first time I thinj this has happenes on Halloween so you can tell this one is going to be special!

And that's just about it from me as far as first impressions go! One last thing before I go though!

I have this cockamamie idea in my head that since this one is such a big deal--given the featured film theme--I really, REALLY, would like the idea of this being the next Halloween event to get a 2-part release. Like how the first 2 years were Halloween 1/2, I think ALL THE BOYS should get the chance to dress up fancy and hang out in Halloweentown! It's a pipe dream, and highly unlikely, but there is another character we didn't see in the teaser that could easily be twisted for a new bishie in a second part to this story!

(EDIT! I HAD TO RECAST THE POLL TO MAKE IT GO FOR LONGER THAN A DAY!)

I can't believe we're getting Gojo Satoru in Twisted Wonderland. I guess it's not gojover.
