Queen of Hearts: What are you doing here?! Why is your head still attached to your shoulders?!

MC: ...

MC: I'm a ghost. AwooOOoooo~

Queen of Hearts: ...

Queen of Hearts: You dare to deceive your queen?!

MC: No— I just want to play croquet with you.

Queen of Hearts: ...

Queen of Hearts: Very well.

MC: Really?

Queen of Hearts: Yes, but you know you'll never win against me!

MC: *smiles* It doesn't matter, Your Majesty.

Cater: That's crazy, Prefect-chan.

Trey: You mentioned she would execute you regardless of whether you win or lose. How is it that you’re still unharmed?

MC: Oh, well, the king is on my side. 😊

Trey and Cater: ...

Cater: King of Hearts?

MC: Yup! He already considered me as the Queen's playmate.

Trey and Cater: ...

Cater: You're one, lucky bastard.

Trey: Cater—

Leona: ...

The rest of Savanaclaw students: ...

MC: *being lifted by the invisible force (it's Scar who grips the back of their uniform) onto the walls of their dorm while they sleep*

Ruggie: Shouldn't you help them?

Leona: ...

Leona: No. I'm not dealing with that.

So both of my current hyperfixations are Disney related. (Twisted Wonderland and Lorcana). And because of this I can’t help but think of the Lorcana cards in relation to Twist. 

If you don’t know what Lorcana is, a brief explanation is that it’s a TCG (Like Magic the Gathering, Pokemon Card game, Yugioh etc) but Disney themed. And it has three types of character cards, Storyborn, Dreamborn and Floodborn. 

Storyborn is basically the characters as they appear in their canon story. Dreamborn is basically what they dream of becoming. Easy enough (There are cards for instance where Maleficent wins)

Floodborn, is where the characters have been altered by the ink. Their story changes completely. That's how you end up with things like “Gaston: Intellectual Powerhouse” where he’s a mechanical genius. (one of my personal favorites because of how funny it is.) 

There is also Lady Tremaine who became queen: 

My absolute favorite Floodborn story is Cinderella’s. In her Floodborn story, she becomes a royal knight. Given I am a believer of the Caterella theory, it opens up a lot of possibilities for that dynamic. 

And while I know the only thing the two projects have in common are that they are both Disney IP’s, It’s easy to imagine Twist as part of Lorcana, an entire Floodborn world where the character’s stories were altered, giving us the Great Seven. Esteemed heroes of their world, rather than evil villains.

There are a lot of other examples too, and all would be fun playing with the different Twist characters.

This one would be very relevant for Silver:

And this one just absolutely screams Vil :

Anyway, I've always enjoyed AU's so Lorcana is definitely fuel for that fire where Twisted Wonderland is concerned. Also wonder if there is anyone out there who plays both games like I do.

Follow ups:

Just a silly little alternative interaction from Book 2 where Riddle adjusts Yasuho's (Yuu) tie.

inanimate objects and generic minions -> characters

I was rereading a March 2023 interview where Yana talks about the process of creating for Twisted Wonderland! I believe I previously mentioned how I appreciated the eclectic yet pragmatic design sense of the outfits in TWST; this time, what caught my attention was how Yana came up with characters from what are minor henchmen and inanimate objects associated with notable villains.

She says that it was a challenge to come up with characters based on the card soldiers and the poisoned apple. (It’s very different than basing a character on the Queen of Hearts and the Evil Queen, who are both very iconic women with defined personalities and powers.) Yana put herself in the shoes of those original Disney counterparts and then used those feelings as a basis to work with. It’s really cool to think about how she was able to pull four different perspectives for the card soldiers. There’s Cater the spectator, Trey the reluctant bystander that eventually comes around, Deuce the rebel, and Ace the other rebel instigator.

I’m especially interested in how Yana conceived of a concept for Epel, who is one of the few in the main cast who is twisted from an object rather than a character. She describes the poison apple as being innocent; it was just a normal apple that had no intention of becoming poisonous or being used in the Evil Queen’s nefarious scheme—yet it was forced to become a poisonous apple against its will because this is the form which will be the most advantageous to the Queen. And indeed, that’s pretty much the nature of Vil and Epel’s relationship. Book 5 is about Vil shaping Epel through stringent training (which Epel actively resists) into someone who can weaponize cuteness to take down Neige. The idea made it all the way to the final product—it’s great to see the payoff of the creative process 😌

Playing TWST on the EN server without having english as your first language means the actual real game is trying to decipher what the actual fuck is Cater saying half the time

Since my RSA AU is growing strong here's some things for RSA! Heartslabyul boys (REMINDER: RSA AU IS BASICALLY WHERE CHARACTERS ARE OPPOSITE OF THEMSELVES)

RSA!Riddle (White Queen):

• In this AU his mom is still strict as fuck, BUT he decided that he'll run out to the fuck knows where (somehow survived on street (got later LATER adopted tho))

• His signature spell "Through the Looking Glass" is able to summon origami animal or object. He still has some problems controlling it when he wants to summon origami animal, for example he wants to summon origami bird but ends up with frog or other shit

• Street Smart but FOR SHIT NO BOOK SMART (Also probably dyslexic) (Give him a book and he will either destroy it or eat it out of frustration)

• Even when pissed off, he will smile in the most cute way possible (Dont believe guys with ':3' smile)

RSA!Ace (Alice):

• Often has hallucinations and is cut off out of reality most of the time, so he often misses things and overthinks what is real and what is not (and has paranoia)

• Is basically Pomni or Kinger from TADC 😭

• Is pretty strong when it comes to magic. Signature Spell (still without name lol) can break false realities, barriers and magical hallucinations (as long as he's aware those are not real (give this man his meds and he will be unstoppable GIVE HIM.)

• Will call you by 'Sir' or 'Ma'am', but often gets confused (We love him tho, he's sweet)

RSA!Trey (Mad Hatter):

• Is a lil bit insane (But who isn't 💀)

• His spell "We're All Mad Here" can change unanimated objects as he pleases to whatever amount he wants (often breaking laws of physics)

• Is basically Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony, minus the baking part (DO NOT LET HIS MAN INTO YOUR KITCHEN, DO NOT)

• WILL encourage you to do dumb shit :3 (and WILL join dumb shit)

RSA!Cater (Dinah):

• Acts as he's only normal here (he's kinda not, but cant blame him)

• After his family was moving so often, he just decided in Middle School he will live with someone from his friend group, somehow it got on Ace (at some point Cater was living in same city where Ace was and just decided to stay there) (Dinah and Alice... Hehe... Get it? Im so fucking hilarious)

• Gives off "Fuck you all" vibe

• Has ZERO internet knowleadge, and speaks like old man

RSA!Deuce (White Rabbit):

• Always has clock with himself to keep up with time (clock is 2 days late)

• His signature spell "Into Rabbit Hole" allows him to create rabbit hole that can teleport anywhere he wants as long as he knows place (sometimes he'll screw up and you will end up in completly unrelated place)

• Absolutely AGAINST violence.

• Is main reason of all Ace's problems in RSA 💀 (Fuck you)

Screengrabs from the animated trailer for the Heartslabyul Dorm from Disney's Twisted Wonderland.

[harunayuuka2060]

MC: *in the middle of arguing with the 3rd-years* No. I'm not taking any of you in Devildom.

Cater: But why, bestie~? We want to meet hot demons too! <3

MC: ...

MC: Are you serious right now?

Trey: That is not the point, actually. What we want to suggest is to have an exchange program between Devildom and Twisted Wonderland.

Rook: Oui! It's for the sake of learning!

MC: ...

MC: I can't deny that you have some point there; however, I need to consult Dia first.

Lilia: The Devildom prince will probably agree.

MC: That will take a considerable amount of paperwork. *sigh* You guys really enjoy putting a lot of work on my plate, don't you?

MC: Anyway, if it gets approved, I will only be choosing at least two to three students.

???: If I may make a suggestion, would it be possible to choose the most beautiful individuals among them?

MC: Eh? *turns to look who it is*

Queen Rose: *smiles warmly* Hello, MC.

Epel: Dame event?

MC: Yes. It's an annual event held for Queen Rose. *smiles* Everyone will dress as ladies and is expected to move and act with grace to a high degree.

Epel: ...

Epel: Oh. Okay. I'm not participating in this one.

Vil: You can't, Epel.

Epel: Why not?!

MC: Before Queen Rose came to me, she had already spotted you and made a specific request to see you at the event.

Epel: !!!

Epel: But... I don't want to...

Vil: Everyone in Pomefiore will be joining.

Rook: *chuckles* I can't wait to witness everyone dressed as elegant dames.

Epel: T-Though can we ensure the safety of students that will join?!

MC: It will happen here in NRC.

Epel: Oh, yeah? Then how about the others? Is it only Pomefiore?!

MC: Savanaclaw also signed up for the event. Same with Heartslabyul and Diasomnia.

Epel: ...

Vil: Just give up now, Epel.

MC: If you don't really want to dress up as a girl, then being elegant will suffice.

Epel: ...

Epel: Really?

MC: Yes.

Epel: ...

Epel: Hehe! Thank you, MC!

Professor Crewel: Pup, have you also become a dame in this event?

MC: Yes, Professor Crewel. I think twice.

Professor Crewel: Oh? And how was the experience?

MC: ...

MC: It wasn't good.

Professor Trein: Why? What happened?

MC: I almost caused a stampede.

Professor Crewel and Professor Trein: ...

Professor Crewel: Oh now, child. I want to see you as a dame.

MC: Uh, no. But Solomon is free.

Solomon: *who's with them reading fashion magazines*

Solomon: Why me?

MC: You're more beautiful, Sol.

Solomon: Eh... But I didn't cause a stampede. *chuckles*

MC: *frowns a little*

Lucifer: Queen Rose, The White Wolf of The Frost Flowers...

Diavolo: What is it, Lucifer?

Lucifer: Are you not wondering about it, Diavolo?

Diavolo: Well, I'd be lying if I said it didn't bother me.

Barbatos: There is nothing to be concerned about this.

Lucifer: What do you mean, Barbatos?

Barbatos: I have returned to Devildom to see how things are going.

Barbatos: And certain news arrived to my ears.

Diavolo: What news?

Barbatos: That MC has achieved what Solomon has.

Lucifer: ...

Diavolo: ...

Lucifer: Are you saying-

Barbatos: Yes. *smiles* Thirteen confirmed it herself.

Part 2 of Lorcana/Twist

Other parts:

Part 1

Part 3

So there was some interest in my last Lorcana/Twisted Wonderland post, so I thought I'd add some of the other cards I find amusing in relation to Twist.

First up is Jafar:

One of the best combos you can get off is to have Jafar sing a Whole New World. It nets you 7 of the 20 Lore you need to win in one action. I've had a story on the back burner for a while, where Vil puts on a production of essentially their twisted version of Aladdin, that would have ended up with Jamil being the one to sing this song. (Cater would play the Genie, because he's the only one who could possibly come close given his clones)

Next up is Heartslabyul with the Queen of Hearts and the Card Soldiers, but as a major Cater fan I am sad the Card Soldier has *4 Hearts*

Also the idea of Chen’ya showing up just to make Riddle mad amuses me.

More Evil Queen/Vil

I will admit the fact that Vil dislikes "Wishing on Stars" and divination etc has always amused me given he is a stand in for the Evil Queen who was definitely into Astrology. (Also Cater’s favorite subject)

I liked this one for Idia, ,I can see him going on about someone's weakness in gaming terms.

Here's a good one for Crewel vibes.

And I can't forget Azul and the Twins

I have some more but I can only do 10 images per post. I hope you enjoy :)

Down the Rabbit Hole | Twisted Wonderland

Whelp, I got roped into a new fandom/game. I've been eyeballing this game since it was announced, but I got into the FNAF fandom first. Then, I saw the game getting a manga adaptation, and I said, "Sure. Why not?" So now, here I am.

I'm still in Book 1, but I thought it would be cute to have Yasuho (Yu) to be an honorary member of the Heartslabyul Dorm!

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Hello! Sorry to bother, I had this question in my mind for quite a while and it's starting to bug me a bit. I love Heartlabyul but there's things that I seem to have missed (or maybe the game never talked about them). Did they ever talk about Alice and/or the Mad Hatter? And also, who is the King of Hearts that Riddle talks about?

The main story scarcely has the NRC cast talking about Disney characters beyond the Great Seven. (The only ones I can recall off the top of my head are when the group visits the Atlantica Museum at the end of book 3 and when Idia mentions a hero diving into Tartarus to save his love; there are obvious references to King Triton, Sebastian, Hercules, Megara, etc.)

Most mentions of Disney characters are relegated to additional content (vignettes, events, and/or voice lines). The Platinum Jacket line vignettes in particular contain comments on various Disney characters, both heroes and villains. This is true of instances on which Heartslabyul talks about Alice in Wonderland characters besides the Queen of Hearts.

Cater comments on Alice’s plight in his Platinum Jacket vignettes; he says that she seems troublesome or like the type to not look before she leaps. In White Rabbit Fest, (an event yet to come out in EN), Deuce and co. go to a museum where they experience many of the same things that Alice did; they even make specific reference to a lost girl (Alice). Trey’s Platinum Jacket mentions the Cheshire Cat, Ace comments on the oysters the Walrus ate in his own Platinum Jacket, Deuce tells the story of the White Rabbit for his hometown event, etc. These instances are scattered around and take some digging to find if you’re seeking a reference to a certain Disney character.

The King of Hearts is brought up via a voice line. More specifically, Riddle’s Suitor Suit card. He says that the Queen of Hearts had a happy marriage with her husband and that he wishes she would share the secret of a happy marriage with his own parents, which implies the Mr. and Mrs. Rosehearts have marital issues. If you’ve seen the Disney film, the King of Hearts is depicted as a small and timid man who cannot stand up to his wife, the Queen of Hearts. In the original book, the King is more juvenile and reckless than timid. When Riddle talks about the King of Hearts, he is referring to that.
