Well damn now I want to tell them about witchcraft.

Ruggie: what the hell are you doing?

Yuu: money spell.

R: *looks at the weird jar of random shit that yuu is currently sealing with green wax* ... what?

Y: just trust me bro

And like a week later they randomly get a promotion or a 1000$ art commission or something or just straight up find a stupid amount of money on the ground and rugginald bucchiland is like

Azul comes knocking at their door the next day with the aura of an eager salesman and the intentions of an FBI interrogator

rugginald bucchiland is his official name now, mickey mouse told me himself.

Something I have always wondered about isekai settings is if magic from one world would even work in another because like. Would the forces you are attempting to invoke be able to respond? I like the image of the universe tapping on the window between worlds separating you to try and get your attention because they have some good luck they want to send your way but being unable to make it through.

But assuming it does work I feel like Yuu would need to be in witness protection from Azul. Or like to successfully reverse psychology him into thinking that it wouldn't really be his money if he made it off their spells because he didn't really work for it and strike at his ego a lot little bit.

TWST Boys as Tarot Cards.

So apparently there's a theory that the 22 main characters of Twisted Wonderland are based on the 22 cards of the Major Arcana. I doubt it. (Compare to another visual novel, The Arcana, in which the characters are very obviously based on the Major Arcana.) But I got curious, and decided to arrange the boys according to the Major Arcana, just for fun:

0. The Fool — Ace An incoming freshman who just wants to have fun, and usually ends up along for the ride. He’s sort of an audience surrogate alongside Yuu. (It should really be Yuu in this position; Ace is obviously the Page of Cups. But we’re not doing the minor arcana.)

The Magician — Deuce Hardly the most powerful mage in the main cast, but one with the most potential, just at the edge of achieving his dreams. Also, his signature spell is pretty OP.

The High Priestess — Jade This one doesn’t fit perfectly, but I think it suits Jade’s role as Azul’s second-in-command, a mysterious and composed person who always knows more than he lets on.

The Emperor — Malleus This one’s pretty self-explanatory.

The Empress — Vil Also pretty self-explanatory. He’s not what I would call nurturing, but he embodies feminine power more than anyone else in the main cast.

The Chariot — Azul Defined by his ambition and determination, Azul grabs onto success with all eight legs.

The Lovers — Rook Obsessed with beauty, and torn between Vil and Neige at one point..

The Hierophant — Lilia The oldest member of the main cast, always willing to share his wisdom and life advice, with a sense of humor. (It would be funny to put him at The Hanged Man, since he’s always hanging upside-down, but it doesn’t suit his character.)

Strength — Jack I almost put Leona here (it’s usually a lion on the card), but Jack is a better fit. He’s streadfast, dedicated, a dependable friend, and has the most self-mastery of the freshmen.

The Hermit — Idia Self-explanatory.

The Wheel of Fortune — Floyd An unpredictable wild card.

Justice — Riddle Severe and unyielding, his devotion to the rules is second to none, and he administers harsh punishments for transgression. He’s not actually as cruel and arbitrary as he initially comes across, though, and his sense of justice becomes fairer.

The Hanged Man — Sebek It’s a little early to tell (I haven’t gotten up to date with book 7 because I’m stuck on those battle maps), but Sebek seems to be undergoing one of the most dramatic transformations of any of the main characters. He’s not exactly passive, but that’s part of the point — he needs to slow down and gain some maturity before he can do anything.

Death — Ortho It makes sense to put one of the Hades boys in this position, and… if ya know, ya know. Ortho’s story is also about breaking a state of stagnancy, ensuring that things change and move forward.

Temperance — Trey The most level-headed of the main cast, he’s always trying to temper Riddle’s wrath and keep things in balance. Also, he likes mixing things together to create tasty treats!

The Devil — Jamil The character most defined by limitation. He’s always holding himself back because of the hopeless situation he’s trapped in. He’s also duplicitous and a liar, he harbors spite, and and he holds all of Scarabia in bondage.

The Tower — Epel I’m putting him here just because he’s a little force of mass destruction! He doesn’t actually cause any true disasters or act as the harbinger of one.

The Star — Cater He approaches every situation with optimism, and tries to get the most out of life, despite (or because of) his own feelings. (Also, diamonds!)

The Moon — Leona After a lot of debating, I finally put Leona here. He’s not as mysterious as Jamil or Jade, but he’s quietly dealing with a lot of insecurity and fear, which he focuses on to the detriment of his strengths. I’ll be interested to see what he dreams about.

The Sun — Kalim A little ray of sunshine, the most genuinely happy of all the characters, who sees the good in everyone and brings joy wherever he goes.

Judgement — Silver Again, it’s a little early to tell, but Silver seems to be bringing a reckoning. He may be his friend’s only chance at redemption. Silver tends to take things at face value and assume the best of people, regardless of who they are or what they’ve done.

The World — Ruggie Through process of elimination, Ruggie arrives here. If I were making this an actual tarot deck, Ruggie would definitely be the Knight of Pentacles, and NRC itself would be The World.

Run bulletproof, run, yeah you gotta run

[nami-moittli]

The Fool, in my mind, represents both Yuu and Grim, just as they’re the same in the fact that they’re counted as one student, they’re also counted as one card. Since there’s no definitively canon Yuu, I made the design of his bag covered in shrimp to represent the Prefect, and also added stickers to the stick for the current manga Yuu’s, a kendo stick for Yuuken, a black belt for Yuuka and a frying pan for Yuuta. Maybe when we get more Yuu’s I’ll continue to add stickers (none for Yuuya though sadly)

Temperance - harmony, patience, extremes, steady progress

[the-trinket-witch]

Hihi! Here to be a menace lol

If you could dub each of your twst OCs as one of the major arcana in tarot, which card would represent them? (You can do as many or as few of your OCs as you would like)

Thanks!!

Oooohhhhh This is something I think about sometimes cause, TBH, I'm a Tarot Hoe (I got like, 5-7 diff decks THAT I USE on occasion)

Let's get into it, tho, shall we?

Chariot

This card is all about discipline and control, both things he prides himself in. Of course, much in the way the Chariot reads in reverse: he has to learn what -he- considers important, and discover what -he- can control and not worry as much about the expectations of others or spinning too many plates.

High Priestess

Yuu is more or less a key component in a lot of people's overblots. This I think ties into the H.P's connotations relating to the inner self and understanding/following one's subconscious. Even in reverse, the High Priestess calls to look inward and listen in to what your inner voice says.

Strength

Octavinelle is probably his best suited dorm NOT just because he's merro, but because his imposing figure works as a good smokescreen for his greater strength: persuasion. His Meekness isn't an act, he just knows how to use it when it's advantageous. As well, his past is more reflective of the card in reverse. Emotion getting the better of him and it being what hurt not just others, but himself.

The Fool

Finally out from under his family's shadow, he is bright-eyed and eager to make himself something. He's got plans and more than willing to plan and act on them, even to his own hasty detriment.

The Sun

This guy could just hop up into the sky and BECOME the sun lol. Whether it's in the current moment, or on the horizon of a difficult part of his life, there is a radiating joy he just exudes.

Wheel of Fortune

A little on the nose, but because of how much of his character centers around Luck (both good and bad), it's not much of a wonder. He isn't above digging his heels in when it comes to things taking unlucky turns, most especially for others. It's because he has such good luck that he interprets it as it having been siphoned off others (which isn't the case), leaving them only the bad. He finds it his duty to help others, just...don't make direct skin contact.

The Moon

Much like his expy counterpart (as we learn in Secret of the Mogwai), a lot of his anxiety/fear has to do with the Moon itself. And it's because of One Instance that he still has a hard time remembering due to repression, that he can come off sometimes as a little neurotic. It'll take some time for him to come to terms with facing what had happened and accepting that he has to navigate around it. But he doesn't have to do it alone.

The Magician

Ah yes, the Master manipulator Manifestor. For Khan, Aadesh is the one growing the seeds of ideas to make for a better 'harvest' later on. His presence is direct action in helping Khan get what he wants.

As well in Magician's reverse sense: Aadesh is manipulation, greed and trickery incarnate. His methods don't seem as clear cut, which makes his goals seem even more obscured.

The Emperor

He is his own boss, as well as the boss of a loooot of other people. This Tiger is ruthless, but that can only get one so far without also offering a more lenient hand as a reward. He hasn't got where he is simply on strength of will, but his expertise and ability to become an expert in what he needs to get where he wants to go. Of course, this leniency is all in his head; as the reverse of the Emperor shows when one is being too authoritative.

TWST Tarot Card No. 0 - The Fool

The Fool often symbolises new beginnings, opportunities and potential, but also recklessness and holding yourself back.

I will strive to make this a monthly series, one card of the Major Arcana Tarot Card Deck per month.

To start the year fresh with the very first one, represented by the prefect of the game (here: my Yume OC Yuko, as the game doesn't give you "one" specific prefect)!!

PLEASE NOTE that I am in no way an expert on tarot cards. The characters assigned to each card are based on my personal research on the respective meanings of the card and the corresponding character that I deemed fit. As such, some cards and characters may be interpreted differently.
