🎊 twst 4th year anni ABEMA stream 🎉
***TWST JP news + anniversary spoilers below the cut!***
The stream starts with Ace, Deuce, Jack, Ruggie, and Sebek's VAs replying to a bunch of quiz questions. I think Ace or Deuce responds with "810" when asked how many items there are on the Heartslabyul lounge's coffee table. Sebek's VA also has a hilarious answer when asked how many Draconians (wakasama fans) there are, he pulls out some super absurdly high number with tons of zeros in it.
There is then a Master Chef/Culinary Crucibles-type section where the VAs decorate their own cake for TWST's anniversary. It’s a team effort!
Ace and Deuce put on the cream, Sebek added cookies on top, and Jack and Ruggie did the final decorations. It ended up looking pretty cute ^^ (Ace's VA is the one that added all the whipped cream peaks; it was mostly thanks to Ruggie's VA that the cake still looked aesthetically pleasing at the end.)
Actual game-related news time!!!
The SR Grim card for the 4th anniversary is... drumroll please...!! 🥁Apprentice Chef Grim!!! ABGKSKVUkvuDSQEVUOFDFIHAFVA HE'S SO CUTE, HE EVEN HAS A LIL TUNA CAN CAKE 😭
For anniversary, there will be a series of free items given out if you log in during the event period (11th to 25th), which includes THREE 10-pull keys (released on the 11th, 15th, and 18th, respectively). You can receive up to 12 days' worth of freebies.
There will be an anniversary banner as per usual; you can earn tokens by pulling on this and then trade them in for a SR magical key (50 tokens) and/or past event-limited SSRs (150 tokens), including past years' birthday cards (100 tokens).
There will be a new "Event Recollection" feature which allows you to experience events that you may have missed getting the initial chance to play through yourself.
Mr. S's Mystery Shop will sell items from past events such as limited Groovy materials and spell upgrade materials. This is called the "Memory Shop".
You will be able to mark (multiple) parts of the story as your "favorite". This will be indicated with a pink heart icon.
Battles will have a new feature which allows you to save team compositions for them. Up to 25 compositions may be saved at a time.
You can also pin your supports, so you no longer have to scroll to find a specific friend's character to borrow.
There will be 3 new item gachas added to the "Item Lotto" of the shop (for Crewel, Vargas, and Trein). Previously, there was only Sam's. You use a new type of medal (obtained by taking classes) to roll on the teachers' lottos, and can pull items related to what you'd typically earn in each of their classes.
Crewel's gacha may provide an herbal tea which can be used to boost Buddy Levels, including those for characters that are otherwise unable to take Alchemy classes. That means Crowley, Rollo, etc. are fair game. (Yes, you can force feed them tea to obtain FRIENDSHIP✨) The tea may also drop during Special Lessons or Alchemy class.
We finally get magical key conversion! On the summoning screen, you can turn 10 single pull keys into one 10-pull key (which guarantees at least 1 SR; single keys do not have this benefit).
The Guest Room will receive a second floor to decorate. This will be unlocked once you reach a Guest Room rank of 31.
The Guest Room rank cap will be increased from 30 to 40. Additionally, all properties of floor 1 appears to carry over to floor 2. This means the same comfort level and attributes will be present across both.
New BGMs will be added to Mr. S's Mystery Shop. There will also be new voice lines added to Alchemy, Flying, and the outfit selection screen.
The official TWST soundtrack will be released on the 29th of May, though preorders are tentatively open now. It is 140+ tracks (149, to be exact!) across 4 discs and goes for 4620 yen (inclusive of tax; without tax the soundtrack is 4200 yen). Japanese retailers are offering different dorms' A5 sized holographic sticker sheets as bonuses for preordering.
That's it for now, mostly quality of life changes! There will most likely be a 4th year anniversary PV/animated short on the actual anniversary day (the 18th)!

You stated the void was bill first gf, so while reading tbob, I was "still not over your first love uh, pathetic but relatable"
and I stand by that!!
and using that headcanon makes Bill being pissed about getting asked about her in tbob even funnier. Like WOW I'VE DATED A MILLION PEOPLE SINCE THEN AND YOU STILL WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT HER??? except it's literally his own subconscious interrogating him
also it means Bill was doing the "wear a hoodie to hide from the paparazzi" thing hundreds of billions of years ago. which is funny.

a lot of people are using nex as a queer talking point without even mentioning they were choctaw and 2S. without even mentioning that this - harassment, assault, murder, disappearances, lies/indifference/denial about the circumstances of our death - is typical of the violence we face. not once have i seen non-native people address that we, as natives, face this same treatment within queer communities. that queer institutions use our land while declining to offer native-inclusive and -sensitive care. we suffer at the hands of white lgbt+ people just as much as we do at the hands of people outside the community.
nex is not your NB pariah. nex was a 2S, NB, choctaw child. thousands of native people go missing and are killed and no one cares. many are two-spirit. many are LGBTQIA+. many are "queer" in ways only defined and recognised by our closed cultures, that you may never hear of and may never understand.
if you are going to flock to nex, you are not going to take them from us post-mortem. they were choctaw. they were native. their tribal affiliation has already been falsely reported on. if you are talking about nex, you will talk about how unwelcoming and dangerous your communities are for us, too. you will talk about how natives face this violence constantly, everywhere. you will not remove nex from the context of them being choctaw, ever - or you won't say their name at all.
even when we die, you don't care about us. i am telling you to care about us if you want us to stop dying.

redesign werewolf sketches because dear GOD i have to get better at drawing primates.
werewolves are a type of large lemur convergent in bodyplan to baboons and wolves, specialized in running down larger prey and killing it as a team, especially since the other giant lemurs never went extinct in their universe.
they're especially fast and nimble on all four legs, but are much clumsier with bipedal movement, usually reserving it for brief periods where they have to carry or manipulate something. their hands are less dexterous and stiffer than human hands, but still more dexterous than the comparative paws of wolves, and perfectly capable of using their own tools.
they, like other lemurs, also have grooming claws on their index fingers, grooming combs for their lower incisors, and grooming bristles on the ends of their tongues. this is used for their manes and tails, because while they have less fur than their cousins, the fur they do have serves a protective and social rule. their manes have thick fur with loose skin beneath to protect the neck during intraspecific combat, as the common way that werewolves kill their prey is grasping the neck with their large canines and crushing the windpipe.
werewolves are matriarchal, with females inheriting their social standing from their mothers, while males are either demoted or cast out from their troop entirely when they come of age. bachelor troops of males are not uncommon, though they cycle through their members quickly, as they find new troops to call their own, and have less social power compared to more traditional troops.

🌌 Introduction 🌌
hi helloo!! feel free to call me anything, but primarily i go by tails, howl, or acorn !
i’m a queer adult (21+) nonhuman that hasn’t expressed myself as such in almost half a decade. with the help of my lover and a few friends i’ve started to explore this identity again. i’m thrilled to outwardly express myself again, and learn more about other nonhumans!
i consider myself polytherian, and my three known theriotypes are:
northwestern wolf
american pine marten
maned wolf
i do a lot of art, gaming, and reading in my spare time! i also collect and hoard stuffies and crystals, and one day i’d like to have a collection of wolf statues on display (my mom used to have a massive glass dolphin collection, i blame her!!! /lh)
if i tag something wrong, or even need to add tags to something please let me know !
stay safe on your travels, friends !
