IT WAS ERIC AFTER ALL!!!! I'm so glad we got to meet him (before Vil snaps him away with those Infinity Gauntlets) (can't wait to see what happens when we get the matching Infinity Tiara to go with them, there will be no survivors)

(sorry to be so slow/rough lately, just got a lot of stuff on the ol' brain at the moment! alas, if only I could spend all my time drawing incredibly stupid characters I mean I do but)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #tapis rouge #i know these are not my best but by god i needed to draw ~daddo venue~#he is a treat! can't wait for him to yell at us for screwing up a shoot or whatever the last-minute disaster will be #i am SO HAPPY it turned out to be about movies after all! ...i mean sort of anyway #i'll take what i can get (and i do enjoy twst trying to be all cute about snow whAHEM i mean beautiful queen) (i see you there twst)#(also to be fair it actually wasn't poisoned in historial-revisionism-twstland so i think we can trust this apple. a+ acting eric)#anyway we are still. very solidly in the 'stand around and talk about the wallpaper for three hours' part of the event.#but HEY we got to meet eric! i was not really expecting it to be him so i am VERY pleased #also god help me i did think the shopping montage as portrayed by a rhythmic where they literally SKIP down the street was hilarious #there's a lot of Choices that were made in this event and that was a good one

I seriously wanna know what Agata is doing at the academy as a grown man

Like can kamui and araki not fucntion for five minutes and so the team dad has to be there

Agata is legally required to be within 100 feet of Kamui and Araki at all times as a preventative safety measure against fires/structural damage/biting/excessive paint fumes. it's in the OSHA manual.

(Kamui is also an adult) (even if he doesn't act like it) (so like...I think the Academy is supposed to be not so much a standard education school, more like specialized training for Riders? like a boot camp kinda thing? hard to tell at this point. :U the other characters are all in their 20s/30s, so if they also are Academy students with cute little uniforms and dorm assignments I guess that'll answer it?) (...wait this is just turning into X-Men now, hold on --)

#ride kamens #joseimuke games are serious business #takato being an academy student would actually be the funniest one #like yeah jou is a 30 year old with a job and a credit card bill and it is EXTREMELY good to think about him being forced back to math clas #but takato 1) has a wholeass company he has to run and yet he still has to ask for a hall pass to use the bathroom #and 2) they STILL made uryuu room with the mad guys #i actually do want this very much now

But … how the staff swear? We Need to know that too…(of you want of course … love your art and your Amazing humor!!!)

(thank you! :D)

Trein: said 'damn' once when he was sixteen, still lays awake at night in embarrassment about his deplorable lapse in manners.

Vargas: swears like an old-timey carnival strongman. lots of "poppycock" and "what the devil" and an occasional "deuces!" (this makes classes very confusing for poor Deuce)

Crowley: doesn't intentionally swear, but every once in a while he'll, like...put together a presentation on the new staff policies or something that builds up to an acronym which, by complete coincidence, spells out something shockingly depraved.

it happens often enough that you'd think he's doing it on purpose, except. it's Crowley.

Sam: swears in the text, gets away with it because the character reading is always something else

(this is very specific to the Japanese version and probably too meta but I made myself laugh with it, I...I'm sorry)

#art #twisted wonderland #yeah here's some more characters swearing #i promise i will get back to actual Jokes™ at some point #(sorry for spamming a bit! just catching up on things)#anyway thanks for joining me for today's edition of crewel being slapped in the face with a sudden and unwelcome sense of sonder #trein: mister crewel need i remind you that i also have access to the internet #crewel: la la la i can't hear you #trein: i am aware of the existence of websites other than those that exclusively provide cat videos #crewel: lA LA LA --

Hi! Good morning evening and night, wherever you are I hope you’re having a wonderful day.

I am completely adored your arts and your comic, the unhinged-ness (is that even a word?)! The style changing (the way I gasped at the Silver holding poppies omg the tenderness, his nose, his hand!!!)!

So although it’s kinda abruptly but can I asked for your permission to translate your comic into Vietnamese.

And of course I DO NOT make any profit from your effort, I just want all the fans who don’t know foreign language can feel the same amount of joyness that I did.

I will include your original URL and account into the post as well. Please excuse my crappy English, it’s not my native language!

hi, thank you! I really appreciate it; I always get kinda nervous posting things in a different style, so it's a huge relief to hear that people also enjoy when I draw them less muppet-y than usual! :> secretly I did like how that Silver came out, so I'm REALLY happy you enjoy him, wooooo

as for a translation, would you mind sending me an e-mail ([email protected]) about which one specifically you want to translate/where you want to post it? (if you aren't able to e-mail for some reason, let me know if there's a better way to get in touch!) thanks! 💛💛💛

who is the pink lady with the hair

she's Truth from Ride Kamens! (...I'm not sure what the actual romanization of her name is. Torusu? 🙃) she's one of the villains, so she's still pretty ~mysterious~ at the moment, but so far we've been told that she's a Strong Female Cult Leader Executive who's super smart and super into herself (and who can blame her really) (her design is also more detailed than what I drew, I was just feelin' lazy)

just...look at her and listen to her voice lines and uhhhhhh basically I'm into in this Handsome Anime Man game for exactly the opposite reasons as intended

#ride kamens #joseimuke games are serious business #i mean yeah she's also probably turning people into monsters so she can take over the world or whatever #god forbid a girl do anything #(she does seem a bit Stock Anime Female Villain atm but i'll wait til the game actually starts to make assumptions)#(and even if she is. i mean. ...i don't hate that.)

bring back zooterkins, the best 17th-century swear word

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)

#art #twisted wonderland #(sort of atemporally somewhere between episodes 6 and 7?)#(i - i wanted that lilia joke okay)#long post #tumblr went 'you can post up to 30 images now :)' and i was like well okay then #anyway once again i'm sorry #i'd say i don't know why i did this but actually it is because i wanted kalim to scandalize everyone #i tried to keep it...you know...tasteful. a tasteful amount of fucks.#hey remember how the framing premise for the original birthday interviews was that yuu worked for the school paper #because i have never forgotten. in my head they are still getting up to all kinds of wacky reporting hijinks.

Ego this happened and I need to tell another twst fan bc I'm so ahhhhhhh

my Nana (the biggest Disney fan I know) came over for Easter so i show her twst on a whim, bc it's my favorite thing yknow? I show her the characters and the battles, my cards, my guest room, all the good stuff. Then I decide to do a ten pull on mirror bc why not, I have 300 gems and maybe she'll give me luck 🙂

NOT DORM CARD MALLEUS FINALLY COMING HOME AFTER MONTHS OF HEARTBREAK 😭😭

AHHHH congratulations! ...also can your Nana come visit me too, because I have not gotten a SINGLE one of the dorm dias even with rerun pickups. 😭 does Malleus just demand grandma power or something.

#art #...i mean technically it's art i guess #for a given definition #twisted wonderland #i don't think this one needs spoiler tags but at this point i just instinctively go to add them #don't worry malleus being kidnapped by fake grandmas is not in fact a spoiler #but is declaring it not to be a spoiler in itself not its own spoiler?#uhhhhh wait hold on um #let's just say that malleus may or may not get kidnapped by fake grandmas at some point #i'll never tell

You are a coward (affectionate) for not giving Azul a meowth with Scuba gear and the move payday

counterpoint: Psyduck can learn Payday via TM, and Azul with a Psyduck would be hilarious.

#art #twisted wonderland #pokemon #poketwst #breaking my own rule to give azul a third pokemon #because he does actually need a psyduck i've decided

*sees canterlot* 🫵 PONY FAN??? (/lh)

:)

#i'm so sorry this is just funny to me personally #because i tend to forget that most people these days found me through twst and do not know of my pony days #the fact that my email is canterlot should tell you all you need to know really #(i don't post mlp anymore) (...ironically largely because of people getting mad at me for not posting mlp anymore)#(but i still have a lot of affection for the franchise and for g4 especially!)#(i haven't really kept up on g5 but what i've seen has been very cute :D)

they revealed the villains for ride kamens, and one of them is a woman who radiates the same energy as lady dimitrescu from resident evil 8 village and i am all for seeing a bunch of idiots of varying types fighting a woman with strong mommy energy

I'm already a little. 😳. over Truth? I had to drop everything and draw her immediately, because those SHAPES. her shapes!!!!

I don't know if I'm going to finish this I just HAD to draw her hair

#art #ride kamens #a bossy pink villain lady with twisty hair waves? oh ride kamens you knew exactly what i needed #though i am also fond of ambition #because one of the replies to the reveal was like 'lol the yellow one looks like a beyblade' and he will forever be beyblade man to me now #in three years he's going to be dramatically revealed to be our not-actually-dead dad or something and i'll still be like BEYBLADE MAAAAN

Hello!! I followed you for your absolutely amazing Twisted Wonderland comics (thank you for making them, by the way-) but I saw you posting about something called Ride Kamens? I haven’t heard of it before, what’s it about? Or if that’s a bit much to ask, where could I find more info about it? It seems right up my alley 👀

Thank you!

thank you! :> :> :> (this is also for the other anon who asked about where to find it, I am honored to be infecting the world spreading interest in this silly game)

Ride Kamens is still doing prerelease marketing and isn't out yet; it's set for "early summer 2024", so a bit yet to go! similar to Twst, it's a mobile game about anime boys loosely based on an existing franchise (Kamen Rider), although it seems like it's going to be more standalone/won't require familiarity with Rider going in.

the (very) basic premise is that your player character has just taken over their late father's role as a secret agent, supporting the city's superheroes by running a secret base disguised as a cafe (plus you have a personal butler for some reason) (the reason is because it's amazing). you also have to help the heroes regain their lost memories, and it looks like it'll have a bit of a route/choice aspect there (not romance, just different endings to the character episodes depending on what you do). the details are kinda hard to tell at this point but the characters seem like a really fun bunch; there's definitely big "idiots with emotional problems" energy which I am extremely into.

all the official info is in Japanese only at the moment, but here's the website and the ride_kamens twitter! (though the twitter is sort of overtaken by posts about the AnimeJapan exhibit right now, whoops.) and I believe some people are already planning on doing translations for it too? lots to look forward to! :D

#ride kamens #joseimuke games are serious business #this is why like 99% of my posts about it so far have been just 'hey it's that guy' :')#the characters look like fun i'm just waiting to properly meet them!#i suspect they're doing a bit of a reverse-twst where instead of familiarity with the source drawing you into the game #they're aiming to get people into rider via handsome animes #we have officially reached the zany gambit phase of the franchise #honestly i have no idea what the actual quality of the game is going to be but by god am i gonna play it anyway because C'MON #i do think it looks like fun though! based on the op it looks like the villains might be turning people into monsters?#and the chaostones are from space or something WHY NOT #(also i was SO happy to see that there's a background that looks like our old friend the Wireworks and Explosion Factory)#(you made it in! can't wait for a character to dramatically explode in you ❤️)#(man i hope nijigao city is just full of toku landmarks)#(round up all the boys for a field trip to the local quarry surely nothing will go wrong there)

my absolute delight at seeing that the riderboys DO in fact have special magical girl transformation sequences --

(now if they really wanted to commit they would go full sailor moon with the ribbons and bubbles and sparkles, hint hint toei)

#art #ride kamens #the most important thing to come out of the op bar none #'but what about the plot reveal and the villains and the --' BAR. NONE.#wait no they also showed that kamui does have the dangerous zombie spine on his back so that's two important things #(i am worried about leon though. w-why did he get a big glass crack effect over him. leon are you gonna be okay)#(the game hasn't even started yet and i'm already worried about him)
