HOT TAKE. BIG fan of the ramshackle prefect having dorm uniforms and acting like that’s their dorm <3

you will never shut me up i swear.

in a game of chess, there's often a king and queen, right? those who represents queens are vil schoenheit and riddle rosehearts and those in the position of kings are leona kingscholar and malleus draconia.

if you look at it this way, in chess, the queens are free to go wherever they like. they have the widest range of movement next to the rook. however, a king is simply restricted to one move at a time.

going back to twst, vil and riddle are often in charge, making their own moves and rules both in the dorm and their own life. however, compared to vil, riddle is also seen (to which he also calls himself) as the king of hearts. vil has the freedom and power to do whatever he likes, whatever he plans, and whatever he needs to. while riddle has the same fate, he is still restricted to watch his movements one by one based on how he grew up. thus, vil is a queen and riddle is both king and queen.

now, to the two kings, malleus and leona. in leona's union birthday story we saw how these two relates STRONGLY to wanting to be left alone and have the freedom to go and do anything they want. however, by the status of their birth (as princes) they have to watch their steps and actions as they do not have the freedom to do so. it's a restricted game for them, life to them is literally a chess board.

and a bonus for pomefiore, rook and vil are often seen working together which, in chess, the rook and the queen often move freely with the rook giving way for the queen to do her movements while also protecting that piece at the same time <3

I love this event already, all their goodbyes are so silly. Good luck pulling for the cards guys!!!

Bonus: my favorite goodbye scene

He's just so silly. You're not leaving your wife and going to war Rook (...unless?)

[twst-drabbles]

they’re all happy to see you despite the mixed reactions

(welcome back)

Oh they are truly adorable and would not ask for anything from them! So grumpy, Riddle and Ace, but we all know that attitude would not last long. They don't want to miss out on the hugs or kisses!

Summary: You came home a bit later than usual on the account of bad weather. So, safe to say that your plant nymphs had a variety of reactions when you finally arrive on that early morning.

You didn’t mean to have a sudden sleepover over at Neige’s house, but the storm that trampled its way through the area caused the river you normally walk by to flood. You had little choice but to stay with him for the time being. You did make sure to phone Crowley so that your plant nymphs are feed. And to take them inside if the winds get too strong.

So, when the morning came and you finally could get home, you can’t say you were shocked when the Ace and Deuce combo dove from the tree above and landed right on your head and face. You can feel Ace’s little arms hitting your scalp while Deuce was slowly sliding down your face. You caught both of them in your hand.

“Yeah, yeah,” you squished them to make them stop squirming. You nuzzled their faces with your nose, “Sorry. The river was a little scary and I had to stay with Neige for a bit. Can’t very well risk drowning on the way home.”

Gotta treasure your own life after all. You’re not gonna let the natural elements take it just yet.

A clone Cater went up and tugged at your pants before recoiling in disgust over the muck that collected on it.

“Ah, yeah, there was a lot of scum to wade through,” you tried to kick it off, but it’s hard when you have your hands full of Ace and Deuce, “Hello to you too, Cater. Oh?”

Cater pointed behind him before poofing out of existence. At the entrance of your house, with little plumerias and clovers swaying in the calm wind, was Cater and Trey carrying a most delicate rose. It’s petals were so wide, lush and layered that it threatened to swallow the both of them.

You finally put Ace and Deuce down to cup the gift in your hand. They jogged away but didn’t stray far at all, just made room for you as you stood up to admire the culmination of their hard work. All the roses in your garden are of the most luxurious quality, but only the best ones are plucked and given to you.

You heard the shifting of dirt and the strain of grass blades ripping apart. The final greeter, the leader of all these worker nymphs, has arrived with a most angry crease on his face.

Riddle commanded the roots to lift him just above your height, as though he’s too angry to be on equal level to you. His arms were crossed, his little rose petal body a ruffled mess probably from overthinking and worrying himself.

He’s huffing and puffing, tapping his little foot, clearly waiting for something from you.

You reached up and scratched the Roseling right under his chin. He practically melted onto your fingers.

You couldn’t help the smile on your face as you said, “Thank you all for waiting for me.”

Which colour of jewelry would suit them best - twst characters

Heartslabyul Riddle Rosehearts - Both gold and silver would fit him BUT gold would look slightly better on him Trey Clover - gold (silver washes him out so badly its not funny) Cater Diamond - unironically he looks better in silver but always wears gold Ace Trappola - he is aware he looks better in silver how? his brother likes wearing rings Deuce Spade - another silver guy im sorry i cannot imagine him in gold Savanaclaw

Leona Kingscholar - gold. whenever he wears silver jewelry cannot even see it Jack Howl - silver guy which is funny cause I thought he was a really weird werewolf at first Ruggie Bucchi - my guy looks best in gold but all he has is silver Octavinelle Azul Ashengrotto - it's obviously silver Floyd Leech - tbh im conflicted between tweels cause I feel like they both have faces for silver but Floyd wears gold Jade Leech - always wears silver you will never catch his wearing any jewerly that Floyd owns Scarabia Jamil Viper - he wears gold but looks good in silver just never wears it Kalim Al-Asim - has never wore silver jewelry Pomefiore Vil Schoenheit - he wears both types but looks slightly better in gold Epel Felmier - Whenever he wears golden jewerly it lowkey looks like he's sick Rook Hunt - gold guy only Ignihyde 

Idia Shroud - somehow gold makes him look even more dead (it doesn't bring his eyes at all they are already fuck ass radioactive yellow why the fuck would u give him golden jewerly to bring his eyes more trust me we can see them) Ortho Shroud - same as Idia tho he did try to wear golden jewerly to get that experience Diasmonia Malleus Draconia - unsuprisingly he is a silver guy Lillia Vanrouge - he exclusively wear gold purely because it makes him look kinda weird and to subtly fuck with people Silver - He looks ethereal whether he wears gold or silver it truly doesn't matter Sebek Zigvolt - gold he is pure gold guy trust me he would look great with gold earrings and such Night Raven College Staff Dire Crowley - I think this is canon based on his design that he wears gold and looks good in gold Divus Crewel - wears silver to keep his black nd white theme looks better in gold lol Mozus Trein - gold man same with Lucius he's also gold guy Ashton Vargas - pure gold nothing else Sam - I think he has gold earrings in his design but in my mind he wears silver idc Extras that don't fit in any categories but I wanted to include them anyway Dawn Knight - he has the same sytuation as Silver where both type of jewerly fits him regardles wears only silver (lol) Henrick Istovan - same sytuation as Dawn knight but wears only gold (yes even during war) Maleanor Draconia - canonically has in her design shit ton of silver stuff so what can I say other than silver? Baur Zigvolt - those gold genes are strong Dylla Spade - silver self explanatory Cheka - his design has so much warm colours putting him in any sort of silver jewerly would be a crime Che'nya - that fucked up gold that looks like silver but is gold but is silver (he looks decent with both so he just decided to take the middle colour) Neige LeBlanche - very clearly gold looks way better on him but silver doesn't wash him out Najma Viper - I feel like she would have a short lived phase where she try to make silver work with her for few months but eventually accepted her fate as only gold person Rollo Flamme - I feel like he would never wear jewerly but silvers looks good on him Ernesto Foulworth/Fellow Honest - gold just gold Gidel - suprsingly silver tho he looks decent in gold Skully - if that guy ever wears gold hell will break on twisted wonderland land and everyone will die.

hello i am once again thinking about grim, and by extension the heartslabyul duo because if there’s anything else that lives in my head rent-free it’s how the main four are as close as friends as they are throughout the entire game so far.

(help this ramble became longer than i intended)

-> i know it's a pattern that the previous dorms help out in the next book which means once book 7 ends, we’re assuming book 8 would be about ramshackle(?). which means it’s diasomnia’s turn to have a big role in the following dorm. -> but it got me thinking. throughout the books, heartslabyul (specifically adeuce) is always present somehow. no matter how much screen time they actually have and how relevant they are to the conflict at that time. (actually i think something similar could be said with diasomnia but i want to focus mainly on adeuce) -> throughout the books, we're just set up with how good of friends the four are. the prologue, books 1 and 2 start to develop the four's chemistry together, and by book 3 we get one of the first signs that yuu cares about these three to the point they're willing to risk it because their dumbasses decided to sign a deal with azul. -> in book 4, while adeuce didn't have much involvement, i believe twst JUST hammers home that all four of them are friends friends. we are shown how ace and deuce went through all the trouble of transportation DURING THE HOLIDAYS because they thought yuu and grim were in trouble. like they could've easily just went "hey it must have been nothing" but they were worried enough to go check on them, not even thinking that someone else could've had handled it already.

-> since the pattern was that the previous dorm helps the next dorm, why does it seem like in book 5 it seems that heartslabyul, or at least, adeuce has as much of a big role as scarabia? the scarabia duo was there to notice the signs with vil but it was deuce who dealt the last blow to him. (honestly i don't remember much but i don't know how much help scarabia even helped pomefiore other than being in vdc hhh) -> so then it made me think, huh. it's like twst is setting up that these two will be more important than we think and will definitely not be going away soon. -> and then THE END OF BOOK 6. ouughh the end of book 6. their reunion just solidified for me how much they all care about each other. adeuce were not prompted by a direct "we're in trouble, help us" text this time. they just found out yuu and grim were somewhere in danger and it agonized them that they could do nothing about it but wait and hope they're safe. -> book 7 finally we're back to finding out ways to help yuu get home. and since they're all admittedly close friends (dare i say found family) at this point without explicitly stating it, i get the vibes of "we'll help you get home because we care about you but we're not going to think about the depressing possibility we might never see each other ever again".

-> so very abrupt transition;;; this led me to thinking about the overall “alice in wonderland” theme throughout twst. -> is that why adeuce has been with us this entire time? to remind us of that theme? we are in twisted wonderland after all. (I'm not really sure about the thought of yuu being alice but it's an interesting one to consider too) -> to tie in more with the alice in wonderland theme, i'm briefly going to go back to diasomnia. in book 7, there's like a theme of dreams. in fact, throughout the game it was all about dreams and visions and stuff. and in book 7 we're just diving into it. -> and in the story of alice in wonderland, there seems to be the implication that everything that happened in wonderland was just based on a crazy dream that alice had. like we don't know if anything was ever real. (i'm not really a fan of the "it's all a dream" twist but the connections got the gears in my brain turning) (also mickey must be relevant too but i have no thoughts about the implications of his existence at the moment 💀) -> i know we're not done with diasomnia's book but it seems to be set up as a catalyst for something bigger along the line (thinking about the possibility that there is even something bigger than a malleus overblot is very wild to say the least)

-> SO ANOTHER abrupt transition but still related, i thought about the parallel between the "overblot grim" in the beginning of the game and the "jabberwock(y)" in alice in wonderland. they're both chimera-like creatures that are like the final bosses or something. -> and what if a way for yuu to "go home" is to "slay" the jabberwocky (or in this case the overblot grim) just like in the story of alice in wonderland / through the looking glass. -> there's theories i believe that ace is set up to be some kind of "trump card" based on his name and the fact his unique magic isn't revealed yet. but also i want to add deuce in there too remembering how he held a big role in stopping vil in book 4 like some kind of foreshadowing. -> maybe the main role diasomnia will have is only about all these dream shenanigans. and i'd like to think instead that at the end of the day, this conflict with an overblotted grim is ultimately between our main four. some representations based off alice in wonderland. -> going full circle, is this why we have been shown so much of the friendship between all four of them? to establish this possible eventual conflict? and to make it harder for us to choose about "going home"? do we even get the choice?

do we "slay" the jabberwocky or will we decide to stay in this seemingly dreamlike fantasy wonderland instead?

I made a post on twt talking about en va fancasts for twst since the anime got a recent (albeit vague) update. Seeing everyone's responses inspired me to put together my own headcanons :3c

Please note that I'm not 100% sure on all of them (ESPECIALLY with ortho's), so do keep that in mind!!

[fruixtii]

I think the tweels have weird lizard like tongues and can lick their noses or smt. I just think Jade randomly doing that in a middle of a conversation is funny
