#honestly? one of my favorite epel groovies

[italoniponic]

MY BOY LOOKS SO PROFESSIONAL

[fictionfixations]

Book 7 JP spoilers (recent-est i think)

(recently found out how to do keep reading bits.)

i. have been told what happened

you know this groovy with him crying

i know context now

and

oh my god

my. heart. ughUISHfdi rOOOOK.

(m gonna be honest rook was never my favorite and i honestly didnt know how to feel about him. [to be fair i hated sebek at one point but now im like a huge sebek fan so.] but i think when this gets onto EN and i play through it im just gonna be a huge rook fan man.)

like

okay

so i know what happens in the story

(also i love this so much this is now in my mind, rook's actual room pre-nrc [except vil's not in an RSA uniform LMFAO. actually if it was PRE-NRC i dont think either of them would have enrolled at a school yet, unless neige is older than vil, or unless RSA doesnt do the same enrollment ages or whatever like NRC)

ACTUALLY SCRATCH THAT NEIGE IS IN HIS 2ND YEAR???

??????? people notice so much oh my god..

wait....

actually do you think neige joined a school because he saw vil join one?? cause. i think he really idolizes vil. (actually kind of makes me think of cheka idolizing leona)

huh. random thought.

i mean i only know a summary of it (im fine with spoilers ngl and i dont care even if you shove like a fully translated post of the entire chapters and stuff.. i just like seeing story that i dont mind rereading)

but like man. its gonna break me when we're there for that moment. (in EN)

i

dont want to say anything in case there's an EN person here. and i mean if they're spoiling themselves all the more power to them but i also feel like its one of those things that are a LOT more impactful when you encounter it for the first time so im just. not gonna try to learn more about it and wait. (although its like. JP is in Part 8 i think, we're in Part 4??? that seems so far away sob. but also we gotta finish lilia's dream first so...)

im just. sadge. (also idk what vil's dream is but i think we end up seeing it. unless it was actually a render of him from rook's dream, which i wouldnt think is too far off. but also--)

THIS IS APPARENTLY CANON?

I SAW IT AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE BUT THEN I RAN INTO IT AGAIN??? and its like. LISTEN. he looks so goofy i cant... epel. i love you. but oh my god (i cant take you seriously im SORRY im DEAD)

also he's still in pomefiore which is cool (he accepted his cuteness! although i dont know how much of a weapon his cuteness would have now..?. you think he snaps out of it cause ppl might laugh at him [and then he beats them up] but he still gets irritated cause what the heck im not cute anymore--- [..wait. i was never cute. what am i on about.] ...i keep overusing the word cute and i know he wouldnt use it himself but i have a very small vocabulary.)

im just.

i dont know how to feel about this ??? (it feels more cursed than hatless rook. i can at least pretend he isnt hatless. but like. epel..)

also vil in rsa /neg /hj (the rsa uniform looks so bland and i like him in darker colors)

okay im gonna be honest i have a dislike against RSA. and thats honestly because im petty and hold grudges.

also i like my villain boys and i just want them to win (..yknow. i really dont think GloMas counts when the RSA boys were actually nice enough to like. ..take hits for them??? and then we were planning on leaving them like LMFAO 'not my problem')

so yeah.

actually wait if rooks dream takes place in VDC how the fuck

WHO IS NRC TRIBE????

CAUSE VIL'S IN RSA WITH NEIGE?? HELLO??? WHAT.

WE'RE NOT WINNING WHAT THE HELL

(unless our role in the dream is to drop a jawdropping performance [idfk do we have diasomnia boys minus lilia(? i honestly dont know how lilia's dream ends and if he joins us) and malleus???)

but listen. if vils the best. and neige is the best.

we're so. not winning..? (i was going to ask if it was gonna be like rook this time voting for NRC and thats how we win. but like. HELL no are we gonna have it be split 50/50 again like that)

anyway i am still very excited and so pumped and oh my god fhsuihe

i find it so funny that at the start of the post i was so crushed like 'oh my god...' cause angst and then here i am doing a complete 180

EDIT: hold on. i didnt think to think about it but now that we know what his room looks like

thats his bed. you can see the neige part. and that thing he's holding onto is like the movie poster (or i assume its a movie poster) with vil and neige

ngl i saw some people linking it up to like the hunter crying on snow white's dress

which. i never saw this movie so like (i dont even want to know what happened but also these movies are OLD. also in like sleeping beauty?? i saw the animated of once upon a dream or something like that and mans just comes up to her out of nowhere. no warning and holds her and sings and im just like brUH if you did that id fucking hit you like WHAT???)

also i just noticed his muscles goddamn.

30 days of twst challenge - day 17: Favorite original card art?

Aaaa how am I possibly supposed to choose? I mean my first thought was Jamil's Clubwear - honestly for this one I prefer the default art over the groovy.

But, like, we've got so many cards! And so many pretty ones!

Like, Deuce's Dorm Uniform

Pretty much all of the Halloween cards

Leona's Gaia Couture (seriously who coerced him to actually pose like this)

Floyd's Beans Camo

Kalim's Dorm Uniform

Epel may not have that many cards but he sure shines with what he has

I could add more but this post is getting long enough already tbh.

Like honestly, most of the arts are nice to look at.

Alright I lied I do need to include Malleus too. I mean, come on. Look at him.

[mudsychronicles]

3. Who was your tutorial SSR?

Leona!! He's absolutely STACKED now LMAOOOOO

14. What NRC class would you actually want to take?

Personally? Magical history LMAOOO I love trein. I KNOW I would do good in his class. lecture based teaching is SOOOO AMAAAAZING FOR MEEEEEEEE and his class is LECTURE BASED!!! I WOULD DO SO WELL SO HELP ME GOD I KNOW IIIIIT

15. What character would you have beef with?

As much as I love him.......Vil. The whole poisoning thing in Book 5 would have me beefing with him til like. At LEAST late Book 6 if I'm fr LMAOOO

Also if were adding event characters then me and Fellow Honest are beefing HARD

16. Favorite book?

So far? I think either Book 5 or Book 6, I think. Book 6 has def been my fav *story* wise....but the gameplay was actually trash 😭 not fun at ALL

Book 5 had like 7 million twistunes those are SO fun, also the story was SO good meeting Neige and the Dwarves was SUCH a treat

17. Favorite Original Card Art?

Hrm....I think maybe Riddles?

Yea no definitely riddles. This is kickass

18. Favorite Groovy Card art?

ORTHOS DORM UNIFORM

look at him......monsieur mastermind indeed....

Also aces dorm uniform groovy is actually precious

I MEAN LOOK AT THEM 😭 OH MY GOOOOOD

If I don't get this card I'm quitting this whole game I'm so deadass

23.Who do you most relate to?

I think Trey, honestly LMAOOO. He's a bespectacled baker who is trying SO. HARD. to be normal that it makes him abnormal. Realest guy alive

24.Which Club would you join?

DEFINITELY gargoyle apreciation club. Canonically the only two people in there would be me and Malleus!!! He just gets to infodump to me about gargoyles the entire time!!! I'D LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT GARGOYLES :DDD it would be SO litty

25. What dorm would you want to be in?

I think Ignihyde! Canonically people don't really expect Ignihyde students to be super social, so I think most people would leave me alone LMAOOO

26.What dorm would you *actually* be in?

Everytime I take a test I get Scarabia 🤧

I genuinely don't know what about me specifically makes me just SOOOO scarabia but yk. I'll take it, Kalim and Jamil my beloveds

27.Favorite Event?

Honestly? I reaaaally like the culinary crucibles, getting 100% on all the recipies it's very fun :)

But for an event with an actual storyline...I think probably the Tsum events, they're VERY fun and super ridiculous lolololol but also....all of the hometown events r so good...can i say all of them LMAOOOOO

28.Favorite Vignette?

Oh this is hard. This is SO hard. Why would you ASK ME THIS QUES-

Sebeks Culinary Crucible vignette. No I will not explain myself

(Also I am OBSESSED with Orthos dorm uniform vignette, so that's also up there)

29.What does your homescreen look like?

Sebek has Autism and that's why you bitches hate him sm THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY

The sillie :)

30. What's your hottest twst take?

[linabirb]

4, 18, 20, 25 and 26 for the twst ask game. :D

thanks for sending these, aurora!! :D

4. first fav vs current fav?

SURPRISINGLY my main faves actually haven't changed much! i remember that when i first heard about twst back in 2020, i knew that my faves will most likely be riddle, lilia and epel (i just really like cute tiny boys 😔) and i was right, i still love them a lot <3 i should mention though that i wasn't really interested in ruggie at first, but when i actually started to learn more about the plot and the characters, i was like "oh! oh i like him :)" AHEM a certain event character is also. one of my faves now but we're not gonna talk about it i'm already annoying enough JDJKSDKSL

18. favorite groovy card art?

i think i've mentioned this before BUT I LOVE LILIA'S THIRD BDAY SSR GROOVY SO MUCH. it's so shiny, so sparkly, i love the colors so much and it just has this vibe that's very comforting to me! i love it <3

20. favorite staff member?

honestly, i'm not a big fan of staff members? this is a sequel to "lina doesn't care about dark-haired brooding anime boys" which is called "lina doesn't care about dilfs" (edit: NOT COUNTING LILIA. I CARE HIM.) HDJHNDJKSKSKS. however, i really like sam! i love his design and his personality a lot! and as someone who visits the game's shop very. VERY OFTEN bc i just don't like to work, it's easier for me to buy the items i need, he's like a friend to me. he's my homie. my bestie.

25. what dorm would you want to be in?

NONE OF THEMCHDJKSKLSDLSD. seriously, i wouldn't survive in any of the nrc dorms. i'm too much of a softie. but I GUESS being in heartslabyul would be nice? though considering my memory problems, memorizing all the rules would be.. hard. but if it's for riddle, i'd try my best <3

26. what dorm would you actually be in?

.. i really feel like i'd be a rsa student 😭 like, a lot of people irl have said that i have this "princess vibe" and again, i feel like i am too soft for a place like nrc. maybe nrc students would accept me more easily, but i just know that i would find a lot of them overwhelming dfhdsksks.

Twisted Wonderland for send a fandom.

The first character I first fell in love with: MALLEUS! He was actually the first twst character I ever saw and it was love at first sight! I still adore him and am greatly looking forward to/dreading the Disaomnia chapter! 💚💚💚

The character I never expected to love as much as I do now: Definitely Rook. I always loved the Pomefiore trio but Vil was one of my main favorites so I didn’t pay a lot of attention to Rook at first. But then I read some of his personal stories (and saw some of his lovely groovy card art) and now this hunting Frenchman has a powerful death grip upon my heart. Not that I mind. 😅

The character everyone else loves that I don’t: Hmmm, honestly I like all the twst boys to a reasonable degree. There may be some that I like more than others and others I like less but they all have something about them I enjoy. If I had to pick a character I dislike that others like I’d probably say Neige but that seems a tad unfair since I’m still on 5-25 and he hasn’t shown up yet and my reasons for disliking him are admittedly very personal/petty. 

The character I love that everyone else hates: I know some don’t like Vil because he is somewhat toxic, how he treats Epel sometimes and he is definitely a primadonna. But I still like him. I see a lot of Vil in myself and he has a lot of the traits I would like to have. I’ll get into this more in a moment. 

The character I used to love but don’t any longer: Thankfully it’s still a tad too early for me to fall out of love with any character. 

The character I would totally smooch: Rook…and Malleus…and Vil…oh sorry, was I supposed to pick only one??

The character I’d want to be like: Vil. I already see myself in Vil but I could stand to be a little more driven and less lazy. He has such a drive to achieve what he wants and I respect that a lot. Recently I read the Wish Upon A Star event and when Vil was asked what his wish was, he said he’d fufill his own wishes with his own effort. Yeah he was a little curt about it but I find that mindset very admirable and it’s one of the reasons I adore him. 💙

The character I’d slap: FU*KING BIRD MAN!!! Aka Crowley. If I have to hear about how kind and generous he is while he is actively screwing me over one more time…🤬🤬🤬

A pairing that I love: Ace/Deuce! I began shipping them literally from the prologue! They have such strong Akusai vibes right down to the redhead being a hot-headed dumbass and the blue-haired one being slightly calmer and more in-tune with his emotions but still a dumbass! 

A pairing that I despise: So I found out a few days ago that there are some weirdos that ship Idia with Ortho and that is extremely fu*ked! Even though I know enough about chapter 6 to understand that Ortho [SPOILER REDACTED], it’s still gross and beyond my understanding.
