Do you know or think any of the past Halloween events will rerun? Like “Terror is Trending” or “Spectral Soirée”? Cause I wanna know the plots of those and maybe play through them since I joined the game late, but I’m not sure if they’ll rerun at this point

I HOPE so, the second Halloween event is still probably my favorite! (it's just. peak non-main Twst content. everyone is so ridiculous and it's so delightful.) the way they've been doing it though has been to rerun the previous year's Halloween event and then the new one, so Eng probably won't be getting those first two events again anytime soon. :( if you're okay with just watching them for the story, your best bet is probably to look up a playthrough of them on YouTube. just make sure it has the ending rhythmics, they both had super cute ones!

Eng sometimes does things differently than JP though, and I think there's been a bit of an influx of new players to both versions lately? so one or both might decide to do a big rerun at some other point in the year! or they might just start rotating Halloween events or something now that they have four of 'em. :U I admit, I do kinda hope that they rerun just so I can try to get that ONE Scary Monsters card I'm missing...please Twst...I just need one more...

[kimikitti]

Hi! Sorry if there’s a lore doc or something I missed but I saw your new Obi design and the overblot doodles and would love to know the lore! From my understanding, Obi can consume magic? Did he use that to tame overblots? I’m completely enamored by the idea that all these big scary monsters are just hanging out in Ramshackle. Are the house wardens comfortable visiting with them around?

Co-parenting with the manifestation of your childhood trauma is always better with a smoothie.

(LOL there is no lore doc. It's just me cryptically posting about Obi and the phantoms and then bouncing. Thank you for the wonderful opportunity for me to rant about the lore I have bouncing around my brain. Also, I probably should make a tag to make all this lore stay in one place. Rant below the cut (May contain slight spoilers))

Obi and the phantoms:

To answer your first question: Yes, Obi can consume magic. In fact, he needs to consume it to survive. When he consumes magic, they taste like words and information. If he eats a spell, Obi gains an understanding of the spell's nature and effects. Repeated consumption of the same spell can lead to greater revelations. Obi is not totally conscious of this ability, as the information he gains seems to have always existed to him.

Did he use that to tame overblots?

No, the phantoms are not really beings that can be tamed. Obi devoured them during the overblot. And wakes up with a book in his clutches. Said books are how he summons the phantoms once again.

Each phantom takes on a personality and ability separate but similar to their original creator. Some phantoms are more willing than others to be cooperative.

Obi doesn't really mind much. Unwanted creations should stick together. It's better than being alone.

Are the house wardens comfortable visiting with them around?

Some of them are, for some it takes more time to warm up to the idea of the phantoms. After all, its hard to be totally ok with a being born of their worse moments. I can run through some general attitudes.

Riddle: Absolutely terrified at first. But seems dedicated to "educating" his phantom. He comes around a lot. (The phantom loves this)

Leona: Comes by frequently but he does not seem to show a strong interest in his own phantom, brings meat. (The phantom also appears uninterested in its creator, but has been seen curling around leona while he's taking a nap)

Azul: Does not come by at all. (The phantom hates this, but understands)

Jamil: The phantom often seeks Jamil out frequently, seems to have a strong desire to bring gifts to its creator. It is unclear how Jamil feels about this. (Jamil is unsure about this, Kalim loves this)

Vil: The phantom hides from Vil. It is ashamed. (Vil dislikes this, but is trying to coax it out)

Idia: Ortho... sleeps most of the time. He wishes to be near his brother but is often not strong enough to be the dominant desire among them. Idia and Ortho visit frequently they love to play video games together. (Ortho loves this)

Malleus:

(I honestly love coming up with the phantoms and their respective lore so if you're interested to learn more please let me know! Thank you for the questions)

Wouldn’t Idia’s ego be bruised if he was told that he was less scary than the tiny spiders? I don’t know, maybe he’s happy that Yuu isn’t scared of him, but I just get the impression that would do some damage to his pride as a monster boy.

The answer is both.

OG Idia already has a thing about his looks, add being a big version of a creature that a lot of people think looks scary/gross, makes it even worse for him.

It can be useful if you want to be left alone or avoid being harassed by others but even the most introverted person gets lonely, and then there you are.

This strange soft little creature with no scales or plating to protect your thin skin, no claws or fangs to defend yourself, such easy prey amongst beasts...and yet you're not scared of him or any of them. Simply rolling your eyes at the growls and threats of turning you into a snack.

How ironic a small common house spider is enough to have to scream and cling onto one of the furry legs of a huge, sharp-toothed, fire-haired, glowing spider.

Admittedly it does bruise his ego a little, but the fact that out of everyone, you keep going to him...It eases the hit. Just please don't stop telling him how pretty and cool you think he looks. His hearts can't take it.

[juno-of-wonderland]

If you don’t have requests (but you want them) may I share monster AU I have

Yuu Thats a cuddly sleeper x vampires (half or not)

Also Jade and Floyd, we need sea monster content.

Cuddling with sea beasts sounds terrifying if you don’t know they’re moray eels and morays are cowards and are very easily spooked so the twins take you to their teeny tiny caves to hide from scary boats :(((((

a while ago, I felt rusty doing

Jade+Floyd

-dragging yourself into a bathtub wasn't what you intended, much less sleeping in it, but you were tired -and the eels are happy -especially when you suffocate them with unconscious hugs -Floyd would squeeze you with all his strength, while Jade would hold you like a treasure

Lilia+Malleus+Leona

-they invade your room and lie with you -vain responds to your hug with tenderness -occasionally they give you kisses (Lilia and Malleus) -or they just stare at you (Leona and Malleus)

Idia+Sebek

-they will ask permission to enter, just to keep you company or travel with you -These men turn into a piece of stone when you hug them unconsciously -little by little they let go and hug you back, but very carefully, as if you were going to wake up to their breathing -you are so warm in their arms

Ceres Wolfgang

19/ Male

Black Greek/German

Dog Beastman

Bisexual

Taurus

Hometown is Isle of Lamentation

Twisted from Cerberus

Ignihyde

3rd Year

His Best Subject is Defense Magic

He’s in the Board Games Club

His Favorite Food is Orange Glazed Salmon Medallions

His Least Favorite Food is Coleslaw

Dislikes Instigators

Hobbies include playing video games (mainly horror games), shopping for music CDs and albums, solving Rubik’s cubes, reading manga, and doing Horror Escape Rooms

Talent: Fixing WiFi Boxes

UM “Hell’s coming with me“

When Ceres uses his UM, chains will appear and lunge after whoever Ceres targets. The chains will tie around the victim and brings them back to Ceres (but Ceres likes to grab onto the chains and control them). Using it on so many people in little amount of time causes a lot of blot to form.

Ceres is kind of hard to get a read on. He’s very quiet, and not many have even heard his voice. He’s calm and serious, and kind of comes across as a loner. He doesn’t smile or laugh much, and has really bad Resting B!tch Face. He tends to be intimidating to most students (this is accidental on Ceres’ part). But it’s basically impossible to get Ceres mad. He’s not the best with socializing, but he tries his best (he’s more shy than he comes off).

The Wolfgangs and the Shrouds are business partners and have been working together for centuries. Neither families remember exactly when; they just know that at some point, the Wolfgangs began helping out the Shrouds, and they’ve been buddies ever since. The Wolfgangs specifically help fund STYX and help in finding research about Blot. As Ceres is their heir, he’s expected to carry on with the Wolfgang’s business and help out Idia when he has to run STYX.

Fun Facts:

+ Other than Ortho, many consider Ceres to be the “Vice Dorm Leader” of Ignihyde (mainly because Ceres is one of the very few people Idia seems comfortable with)

+ Loves Rock and Electronic Heavy Metal music

+ His tail is actually a snake tail instead of a dog tail. Tends to hide his tail (he’s not embarrassed by it, it’s just that the questions get annoying)

+ Doesn’t like Soda

+ Dorm Leaders go to him to fix the Dorm’s WiFi Boxes (cause Idia’s too shy)

+ (Warning for baby d*eath) Ceres is actually from a triplet pregnancy, but his brothers didn’t make it

+ His online nickname is XIII Reaper

+ Has a cabinet filled with his snack supply

+ Horror is his favorite genre

+ Can drive a Blastcycle

+ His favorite band is River Down Under, or RDU for short

+ Weirdly enough, neither of Ceres’ parents are dog Beastmen. His Father is a human while his Mother is a Snake Beastwoman. And they’re his biological parents, so nobody knows how Ceres is a dog Beastman while his parents are not

+ Finds the beauty in things most people don’t (like the animals Ceres thinks are really cute are animals most people would think are scary or ugly)

+ Ceres and Idia have an interesting history together. They were close when they were young, playing games a lot alongside Ortho. But after Ortho’s d**th, due to Idia basically shutting himself away, the two didn’t see each other much. Afterwards, they really only saw each other when their parents met up. During NRC, the two have a coworker type relationship, with the two really only talk to tell each other for important Ignihyde/business stuff. After Chapter 6, Idia reached out to Ceres so they could be actual friends again. Now the two hang out once a week to game (Usually to play Horror, like Phasmophobia or Dead by Daylight or Lethal Company)

+ Unlike Idia, Ceres doesn’t scream or gamer rage. So while Idia is shrieking or cussing from the monsters, Ceres just stays calm and tells Idia to hide (or do whatever you have to do to avoid the monster k!lling you)

+ With all due respect, Ceres just…doesn’t know how to feel about robo Ortho. He understands that Idia is grieving, but Ceres being friends with human Ortho and grieving him too, Ceres can’t help but feel…unnerved about Robo Ortho (though he tries not to show it)

Hi it’s🍍 anon again! Hope you’re having a good day/night!

I’d love to hear your yap sesh, but which events do you see your ocs participating (being coerced) in?

Tia’s a given since she’s the prefect she’ll be in every event (being the absolute girlboss that she is)

ITS MORNING FOR ME SO I GOT ALL DAY. Well it was when I started writing, lmao.

For the main in-game events we’ve seen? None. Well, excluding Scary Monsters, Beanfest and Port Fest. But, those are like, school-wide participation with mobs so that doesn’t really count, does it? Also Master Chef/Culinary Crucible I can also see happening since that’s also a school thing. …And maybe Spectral Soiree but like, the entire school got kidnapped to sent to the ghost realm for a party, so that probably doesn’t count either. 💀

(I am very much treating them as NPCs who have virtually nothing to do with whatever the main cast do, since… well, they are NPCs in the grand scheme. …With faces.)

With existing events, it’s hard to say, because if it isn’t a schoolwide event, my brain automatically will take in the reality that they well, weren’t there. At least not as mains. But, chalk up my hesitance mostly being from my distaste of throwing characters into situations they weren’t initially present for. If I do do it, I’m very much a “if something gets added in, something else needs to be cut out” for balance reasons. With exceptions of course. I’m not hyper strict “grrr canon this canon that”, I just think having limits nets better results for creative problem solving.

…Though, If I’m reading vignettes, I do sometimes slot the boys onto faceless NPCs if it makes me lawl.

You cannot tell me that the faceless guy who tripped in Diasomnia and almost sent a plate flying into Malleus’ face wasn’t Cecil sakshshgshsvj (See: Sebek’s Tsum)

BUT… If Fairy Gala having a “Remix” taught me anything, and the many many Halloween events, it’s that completely alternate versions of previous events starring different characters can happen and just kinda be there. I think it would be very funny if they had tsums, that’d be chaotic. It’s a little easier to work with if it’s an alternate version of an existing event or say, a seperate starter concept or Hometown events.

…

OKAY PREAMBLE OVER, NOW FOR THE REAL CRUD.

Optional further reading of my dumb conceptual yapping under cut.

[THESE ARE ALL THEORETICAL CONCEPTS. There are no visuals and virtually no stories beyond extremely early pitches. It’s not clear if I’ll ever act on these. Some more likely than others but, it’s hard to say. No promises.]

Cecil Mugwort

> Revenge of Pumpkin Knight (Halloween Event)

Piggybacking off of the original Scary Monsters and taking place the night the festivities end. Featuring Idia’s beloved B-List movie, Pumpkin Knight. Except, the “Sleepy Hollow” allusions are at the forefront. Fun and games are over, it’s time to do some real scaring. Especially towards plebs who can’t respect good material if it bit them in the face. Aside from that gambit, the plot of this is currently murky.

I just want Cecil to the Ichabod Crane in this situation who is going to be the main brunt of an extremely elaborate prank by Idia. (He has partial inspiration from Ichabod, not huge, but I did look at him in terms of vibes.)

Cast not established.

> Unnamed Mage Competition (Cecil Hometown: Currently unnamed village, Shaftlands.)

There’s a magic competition of some sort in his quaint little hometown. He drags some school peers with him. I do not have the details for this sorted out, but a theme about siblings is something I’d like to be present. That, and learning about Cecil at a more personal level outside of school. As of now it’s mostly referencing two different eps of Sofia the First, but mushed.

Cecil’s older fraternal twin sister, Claudia, would be introduced.

Potential Cast: Jade, Cater, Silver, MC/Grim

> Sam’s New Years Sale

It’d be funny. Put him in retail.

————

Nyoka Wadjet

> [REDACTED IN PROGRESS THING. CANNOT DISCUSS IT.] Halloween Centric.

> Unnamed event (Nyoka Hometown: Currently unnamed city, Sunset Savanna)

I do not have the details for this sorted out, but it would serve as a follow up to the previous. Something about the Wadjets in particular and some sort of weirdly specific shenanigan. It also involves exploring the reptilian culture in Sunset Savanna.

The new face that could be introduced is not established yet, it’s still up in the air. There are no names or designs yet.

Potential Cast: Ruggie, Trey, Sebek, MC/Grim

> *reads smudged hand* Sam’s New Years Sale also

Put him in retail.

————

Emilio Estrada-Alvarez

> Unnamed “Carnaval” event (Emilio Hometown: Shining Peninsula, *Unknown Country).

Emilio finally relents to his cousins pestering, and opts to return home for a big ass Carnaval. This really huge country-wide event with loud music, food everywhere, competitions, costumes and all sorts of good times. Most notable for the bedazzling lights implemented throughout. In his town it’s about celebrating light and love between others of all kinds and how it’ll shine forever or something. It’s meant to reflect the standards set by a Queen from legend who wielded a scepter whose love for others and her people was said to be able to control light itself.

This year his cousins family is spearheading the event in his town. She’s more swamped than usual since it’s her first time doing that, and wants Emilio’s help. And Emilio, being the dip he is, drags others with him. Though given who he chose, he might be trying to prove something. Also being crowned King of Carnaval is cool, maybe he wants that. Shenanigans ensue. As any hometowns go, Emilio will be explored further outside of school.

Emilio’s cousin Marisol would be formally introduced.

Potential cast: Ortho, Jamil, Malleus, MC/Grim

Shoutout to my various consultants who are not on tumblr.

> Unspecified “Día de los Muertos” type event. (Halloween Event, location not established)

Exactly what it says on the tin. No real further info here beyond that because it’s the most obvious thing. It would be very relevant to Emilio in particular on a personal level. Shoutout to dead parents.

> Port Fest Alternative Remix

Something about boats now, probably. He likes sailing and is competitive.

Other Notes

+ Che’nya’s full name is rendered differently between the EN and JP versions. + Leona's family's royal chamberlain, Kifaji, had his name changed to "Neji" in the localization. The reason for this is unclear. (Kifaji means "food" in Swahili, which makes sense if you consider Scar and Zazu's relationship.) + Fellow Honest's name was changed to "Ernesto Foulworth" in the localization to better reflect Honest John's real name. + Gidel's name was changed to "Gino".

A bit after the STYX incident, Riddle started dating a guy (imagine a regular NPC).

Riddle was incredibly anxious, but considered this a victory, a sign that he was healing and acting like a teenager. He asked Cater, Ace and Vil for tips and prepared a whole study guide on how to be a good boyfriend, though.

After a week or two of just hanging out during lunch and chatting, the couple decided to organize an actual date.

They settled for an afternoon at a local coffee shop. Riddle was so happy.

And then the guy stood him up.

It was okay. An emergency dormhhead meeting was called ten minutes later so he would have to cancel things anyway. But still...

Now, just to set things up, of the cast of known students, the only ones that knew about the date were Heartslabyul (obviously), the Octotrio (they were shoving vouchers at Riddle's face subtly giving hints about using Mostro Lounge as a date spot) the Pop Music Club, Vil, Rook, Idia (Azul told him) and the first years.

Curious (and worried) about the situation, Kalim and Vil asked Riddle about the date during the meeting. Malleus was personally offended and Azul was feeling so generous he even invited the group over to Monstro Lounge (everyone except Riddle had to pay, though).

Interestingly enough, the school was really quiet that day, and not even Crowley knew the reason for calling the meeting...

You see, tuns out the date never actually cared for Riddle, it was just a prank.

The plan was to claim an emergency had happened ("I lost a book in the abandoned mines, and my friend needs it to study for a test next week!"), Riddle would volunteer to go fetch the book by himself like the stubborn housewarden that he is, and the date would go to the coffee shop to reserve their seats.

Except the guy wouldn't come back, using the permission slip to to go to Sage Island's beach with a few other friends, certain that Riddle would be too busy fighting the monsters in the mine (or overblotting) to realize something was wrong.

It was a perfect plan! If they were actually ABLE to keep a secret, or weren't up against Riddle's friends...

Cater had already done a background check of thr guy as soon as he started talking to Riddle, with Chen'ya and Lillia also helping out. Trey tipped Rook off, and don't get me started on the first years, who went a step further and asked Ortho to hack the guy's social media...

The date was attacked by the first years and a few cauldrons before he could even leave the school, while the beach party was ruined by the Tweels and a stampede of Caters...

The rest of the cast was kept mostly in the dark, with only a vague message of "Rids is sad, cheer him up pls, we're busy RN. Ttyl XOXO." from Cater. Idia, thinking Riddle was having a social anxiety crisis over the date, called a dormhead meeting by hacking Crowley's phone, hoping this was a good enough excuse to cancel the event.

Needless to say the "boyfriend" and his friends didn't last for long after everyone ELSE got the memo... Vil and Leona can be a SCARY duo, but angry Malleus and Idia are even WORSE!

That one anon who asked about NRC going to monster high got me thinking, like how would they react to all the different way things are pronounced there like instead of year book it’s “fear book” instead of cheerleading it’s “fear leading” New York is “BooYork” Paris is “Scaris” they call each other “ghouls” and “ghoul friends” instead of girl and girlfriends and for men it’s “Mansters”. And even Normies don’t have the same meaning, Normies is what monsters call human people and Idia is just “wHaT?”

They must think your so cringe or like Cater.

It must be an elaborate joke. You're fucking with them right?

And you're just?? "I am literally a zombie" or something
