This is how chap 4 went right?

TWST Characters as Things People I Know Have Said

(brainrot warning, yes everyone i know is insane, no i cannot help)

Deuce (about Ace): He likes me, but he thinks I’m braindead.

Floyd: House biology, the layout, it’s the same thing. It’s where the house keeps its organs.

Azul (fondling a stack of cash): MMM. LET ME TAMPER WITH POLICE EVIDENCE. MMMMMMM.

Kalim: *starts laughing* Jamil: Cease and desist.

Cater: Ortho, play Five Nights at Freddy’s by The Living Tombstone.

Idia: *starts head banging erratically*

Ortho: Nii-san, can you explain the William Afton lore to me?

Riddle (to Ace): I can only collar you once a day, or else you’ll get more brain damage than you already have.

Floyd: I think when I grow up, I’m going to be in an asylum.

Sebek: I hope your crops go unwatered!

Silver: I…I HOPE YOUR CATS GO BARE IN THE WINTER!

Sebek: wh

Sebek: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!??

Lilia (popping down from the ceiling with a proud smile): It means that he hopes they either lose their fur or their flesh.

Sebek: WHAT.

Lilia: I have full health and I am going to be a slay queen.

Ace (to Cater, lying through his teeth): I am not a boy-kisser! I am not a boy-kisser!

Kalim: If you light something on fire in the Queendom of Roses, will it burn?

Epel: I barked at Headmage Crowley.

Vil: Well, no one’s head fell off, so I’m calling that a success.

Azul (to Floyd): Stop twerking on my bed!

Jack (panicking): BE QUIET OR I’M GOING TO STUFF SO MUCH NUTMEG IN YOU THAT YOU PASS OUT.

Ruggie: Leona. It’s okay to be emo.

Rook: It is better to live among trash than to live among corpses.

Jamil (to Kalim): You don’t just eat lotion!

Yuu: Since FurryCon is coming up-

Ace: Jack needs to go!

Jack (with a long-suffering sigh): I’m not going to FurryCon!

Jade: I wanna crunch it!

Trey: NO WE’RE NOT CRUNCHING HANDS

Epel (with the first-years): We’re not eating grandma! They’re arguing about how grandma would taste!

Lilia: Malleus, did you know that you’re supposed to put perfume in your mouth? It makes your armpits yummy.

Jade: Floyd has been possessed by a demon for fifteen minutes.

Malleus: Floor candles are displeasing.

Ruggie: Can I be a liquid?

Leona: I don’t know. That depends, what’s your melting point?

Jack: *looks over, disturbed*

Ace: I attract women like a dead animal attracts flies.

Cater (to Idia, playfully): Did you just call me UN-POGGERS? YOU SOGGY HAMSTER!

Ortho: Trein-sensei is an uwu girl!

Ace: AHH! DO NOT SQUEEZE MY CAKE!

Trey (explaining a book): …so, he has, like, some kind of dwarfism…

Ace: *points at Riddle*

Idia: This is why the Seven wanted us to wear Crocs and socks.

Actually, while we're on the topic of pets, what pets do you see the others with?

[Referencing this post!]

I'll (slightly) cheat and condense everyone into their groups, then say "whatever animals fit the motif of their respective character/film". There's some notes for each boy as well, but not always in the most intense of details. (Please keep in mind that this is only covering the main 22 students from NRC!!) Heartslabyul already tends to hedgehogs and flamingos, so those could be common creatures to have as pets/familiars (especially among the card soldiers like Cater, Trey, Deuce, and Ace) Alternatively, there could be other animals from Alice in Wonderland such as cats (for the Cheshire Cat), oysters, living flowers, walruses, dormouses, rabbits/hares, etc. If we want to stray outside of the dorm motifs, a chameleon for Ace (since he has a talent for mimicking people)?? Cater with a fox because of how crafty he can be?? (I don't feel super strong on this choice.) Trey is Normal so a cat or a dog for him!! The dog could be useful for sniffing out special ingredients while a cat is fitting because Trey's VA also voices Lucius... And of course, Deuce deserves a chicken so it can lay many eggs! Riddle I see getting one of the standard pets because "it's the rule/tradition at Heartslabyul!" Uhhh, mostly savanna animals for Savanaclaw I guess?? But again, the same moral debate I mentioned in the original post still applies here. (Like, would it be weird for a lion/wolf/hyena beastman such as Leona/Jack/Ruggie to have a lion/wolf/hyena as a pet/familiar???) Octavinelle would have a lot of aquatic creatures as pets/familiars. I think the "perfect" pet/familiar to match Azul's image would be eels (to mimic Ursula). Not sure what Jade or Floyd would have (the JP fandom uses a dolphin and a shark emoji, respectively, to refer to them so maybe those)?? But since Jade is the informant for the group, I'm thinking something small and agile so he can send it to spy for him. (Plus, it could chill out in his terrariums for funsies later.) Floyd would have something more aggressive... Scarabia would have unconventional animals from all over Twisted Wonderland! Kalim is someone I see as having many animal friends, so I can't think of just one animal. Maybe a tiger (like Princess Jasmine)? But it's also fun to imagine Kalim riding in on a massive elephant! He was originally supposed to have a monkey familiar (like Aladdin), so I can easily see that happening as well. Jamil has a clearer desire for a specific animal companion, and that would be a parrot. I can also see a snake for... obvious reasons. Maybe a bug to really torment them. Peacock for Vil because he sits in a peacock throne and it has a majestic vibe. A crow or raven also works due to its association with the Evil Queen. Rook, like Kalim, is someone I see with a variety of animals and not a specific one. Whatever his pet/familiar is, it would probably be a skilled hunter. I'm thinking like some kind of predator bird like a hawk or falcon. Epel... nothing immediately comes to mind, but maybe something small and cute but tough like he is. Idia would want a kawaii widdle neko-chan (his words, not mine) to keep as a lap warmer while he aggressive games. Ortho is more of a dog person (yes, this is purely because of his Cerberus Gear card), though I picture him engaging with virtual pets and/or those cybernetic dogs more than like... actual animals. I think Lilia's bats already count as his pets, although they are rarely ever mentioned in dialogue. Silver, as a member of the light trio, is another person that I see with many animals (squirrels, deer, birds, rabbits, etc.). Sebek I feel would shout that every animal is inferior to Malleus and that no pet he has could ever match Malleus's, etc. etc. etc. He's usually associated with crocs, so I think many would gravitate to one as Sebek's pet??? I think it would be funny if his familiar was something small, cute, and kinda pathetic (like a chipmunk or something) so he acts all bashful about it... but hey, I think a horse (so he can ride proudly into combat) also works. Malleus I already covered in the original post linked above.

Somercrest Academy

Somercrest Academy is basically the reject version of NRC and RSA. It’s the magic school you go to if you can’t get into the good ones. It’s kind of delaptited in the middle of nowhere in kind of an overgrown jungly swampy area. They have a one sided rivalry with NRC and RSA because they consider them to be their rivals but NRC and RSA never take them seriously. They got last place in VDC 😬

Anyone is welcoming to make OCs who are students or Faculty of this school :))))) ————————————————————

Faculty:

Mistress Uritu (based on Yzma)

she’s The headmage she really wants to be rid of Somercrest academy and take Crowley’s Job

Mr. Khuno (based on Kronk)

he’s the vice headmage. Everyone adores him. He also runs the Sage’s Island cub scouts

Serina del la Vega (based on Marina del Ray)

used to teach elementary school in the Coralsea. Taught the Octatrio when they were children and was not nice to them at all. She came to land wanting something bigger, she wanted to be a famous show girl. But things didn’t go to plan and she ended up as Somercrest’s disciplinarian and a teacher. She wants Khuno’s job.

Jimothy (based on Benjamin)

a manatee merman that came to land as Serina’s assistant now works as the school’s secretary.

Professor Miles (Based on Milo)

He has a croc tail, green tinted skin, and sharp teeth. His eyes seem to resemble clocks. He’s very friendly and curious but he can bite if he gets mad. He has ADHD. He carries a vintage alarm clock around with him but it’s unclear if the ticking is coming from the clock or from him.

Age: 17

They actually got into NRC but due to circonstances out of their control they could not attend the first few months of school. Once they were ready to come back they found out that their spot had been given away to a student who Joined the school late (cough Kalim). They don’t know why this happened or who the student was but needless to say they aren’t a fan of Crowley and is quite bitter to the school. It was too late to apply To RSA so they ended up at Somercrest. They’re student body president and friends with Caiman.

Signature Spell:

basically, they can teleport people or themself. They can only go to places that they can picture in accurately in their head. The more people they take the more the spill takes out of them.

Convert Anon💜 here!!

Ace and Deuce are totally not afraid, what do you mean, they’re not hiding behind us what do you mean?

Grim will always be Grim and him always being mouth before brains is his thing, and he’d be blunt and also it’d be familiar and i’s give him a smooch on the forehead

I’m sure he’d love babysitting your daughter and watching her with Ace and deuce

Fae always love tricks and Sebek has to fight for favourite half fae title(he’snfav crocodile boi)

Cheka just calls me Auntie and it would take a while for me to get used to it and watch as Leona smirks and calls me wife around other people and watch as i get flustered and want to hide and now he’s teasing me and i would try and help Ruggie to get Leona eat his veggies if he teases me too much

And i’m sorry Ruggie, but i dont like veggies🥺 but i will help you feed them to Leona >:)

But now i have Leona brainrot(its joining my Azul and Tweel and Idia brainrot) about him being happy to have a lioness and being pride but him trying to court us before and trying his best to court us into his pride and i would be dense(cause I kinda am sometimes) and all of Savanaclaw trying to help him and everyone but me and Kalim can see it and i don’t know the courting behaviours because i wasnt always one and him getting a lil disheartened but Ruggie the man comes in clutch and tells me a lil bluntly and then i go to his room where he’s pouting after learning about how to reciprocate the courting

Reassuring his insecurities cause his brother probably has more and just cuddles and maybe try to cook for him and let him nuzzle and mark me

And meme worthy princes are the best and it would be cool to get something like it in twst :D

A for effort ace and deuce lolol but if ace can punch riddle and deuce can face off against vil, then definitely they can go against Lilia. Silver is watch on the side and sebek is just, well, he understands their feelings.

grim and daughter is going to be found just sleeping and cuddling and its going into the album. take all the pictures. I'm sure grim will live a long life too so he's going be another companion in the Vanrouge family.

sebek will always be fave croc boy brig brother

well, if he's teasing you then you have to tease him back right? call him husband and just watch him pause for a few seconds lolol

pspspssp feed the veggies to Convert anonie too pspsps

yes! I have unlocked leona brain rot lolol

I'll going you in the dense apartment, apparently I was being flirted with and I didn't realize it yesterday. whoops. in my defense I thought he was just happy to meet someone else with similar interests! dklfkjfjlkfjldk

Ruggie is our hyena! let's gooooo

leona you need to blunt lol

let him bring food for you, that's his way of showing he can provide. you know better now dont you? now you have to let him show you the full courtship.

*manifesting one of the rsa students jumping out the window*

I've been thinking about different types of love languages, and I can't help but imagine the twst cast with people who have different types of love languages/ways of showing that they really care about someone.

Like, my love language is food, and I like to give food to people who I care about, like close friends. On top of that, the first character I really got attached to (like, during the countdown art and everything) was Ruggie, and at times I wonder how happy he'd be with a friend or partner who shows affection in that way.

Malleus would probably adore someone who shows their love for him through spending time with him (like, I've seen someone online talking about how their coworker ran to meet them on time at a cafe because they didn't want to make them wait/spend less time with them if they had walked)

Idk, I just feel like it's sweet how there are different ways that people show affection. The twst cast also probably have their own live languages too (you cannot convince me that Trey doesn't give food to people he cares about as a casual gesture)

I'm not sure if this is too coherent but I just figured it's be nice to share

I know of five love languages: Acts of service, Quality time, Words of affirmation, Physical touch, and Gifts Cooking and food could be under the acts of service and gift categories, respectively

It's very interesting to know your love languages and which you like to receive!

Now, Twst boys and love languages... I'll do a little list of who I pin with what

[This ended being longer than expected]

Heartslabyul

Riddle - Quality time (giving), words of affirmation (receiving) Nice comments reassuring him that he's a good person and a wonderful friend, a capable dorm leader are much more needed Riddle will give you his undivided attention in return!

Ace - Physical touch (giving), acts of service & gifts (receiving) Ace gives the vibe of being touchy-feely... and also a bit lazy, thus the acts of service aspect. We see in the Prologue/Chapter 1 that he bargains with MC to have his lunch paid by them in return of helping them catch Grim, thus my reason to say he may also like receiving gifts

Deuce - Acts of service (giving), words of affirmation (receiving) Spade is a good boy that helps his mama ❤ I'm sure he will offer to run your errands, like how he's done with Trey! TELL HIM HE'S DOING GREAT!!! QUELL HIS DOUBTS OF BEING A GOOD STUDENT!!!

Trey - Gifts (giving), quality time (receiving) Food gifts, pastries and cakes, confections of all kinds He likes it when you help him bake! And sometimes needs someone to lend an ear to listen to him and his troubles

Cater - quality time (giving), ALL words of affirmation + gifts + quality time (receiving) ANYTHING that makes for a permanent memory tbh. Let's remember he used to move around a lot due to his dad's job, he ACHES for meaningful relationships and memories to keep We can all feel it in our souls that this boy needs a hug... oh, Cater... you need to be shown all love languages ; - ;

Savanaclaw

Leona - gifts (giving), quality time & acts of service (receiving) iirc he passed down clothes and books to Ruggie, and also allowed him to buy the clothes for Vargas Camp with not much fuzz (prince is always fuzzy tho, what we saw was normal Leona) His quality time is nap time together and sharing a game of chess

Ruggie - acts of service (giving), gifts & acts of service (receiving) I'm sure this boy would like it if you help him with chores, so those acts of service can also count as quality time together Gifts of food are definitely one of his favorites!

Jack - quality time (giving & receiving) Honestly, jack is hard for me to picture in this aspects

Octavinelle

Azul - gifts (giving), words of affirmation (receiving) We saw him be surprised at MC's comments remarking his intelligence back at the end of Chapter 3, octoboy NEEDS compliments

Floyd - physical touch (giving and receiving) The tween seems to me like someone that enjoys all sorts of physical touch. Still debating if he would like the occasional gift of eel/sea life merch and high-end clothing brands

Jade - acts of service (giving), acts of service and quality time (receiving) Jade appears as the butler type, and being vice dorm leader, Azul's employee of sorts, and one of the Lounge's reliable hosts, he would first and foremost offer acts of service to show he cares. Again, being all that he is, he needs time to relax. Offer back help with his chores and he'll be quite happy. Along with his twin, Jade would like the random gift of snacks, and some quality time to build terrariums together

Scarabia

Kalim - gifts & physical touch (giving), physical touch (receiving) I do think Kalim much more prefers showing his appreciation with hugs, pats on back, shaking you by the shoulders, than throwing gifts at you... but he still likes to give some nice accessories and tapestries if they remind him of you Otter loooves it when his hugs and touches are reciprocated and returned!!

Jamil - quality time (giving), words of affirmation & quality time (receiving) I was tempted to put he would resort to acts of service, like Jade does, but that doesn't sound like Jamil post-overblot to me. I think he would rather spend time together and getting to know each other, or chilling in comfortable silence! Viper would like to be acknowledged for who he is, for his abilities and resourceful intellect. Please give him nice comments about himself and the talents he hones! Lend him your time and attentive hearing when hanging out together, too!

Pomefiore

Vil - quality time (giving and receiving) I was tempted to add gifts for his receiving side, but I believe Vil prefers spending time together as much as his influencer and dorm leader schedule allows

Epel - gifts (giving), quality time (receiving) I'm sure Epel would take a liking to gifting his carved apples to show his appreciation Time spent together with him will be full of rough play and hysterical laughter. Let him be his rowdy self and he's more than happy!

Rook - words of affirmation (giving), all goes when receiving love The hunter of love will appreciate all sort of ways people demonstrate their appreciation to him. We do know he prefers to express his admiration through words, be them spoken or written

Ignihyde

Idia - gifts (giving and receiving) Reserved and introverted, I feel like Idia would much rather buy and send you something via online shops. Being an otaku, he would really deep down like it if you bought him some merch or new manga/games. It could be argued that, once you become closer, Shroud likes to spend time together with you

Diasomnia

Malleus - quality time & gifts (giving), quality time & words of affirmation (receiving) He's a prince, I'm sure he would give you random gifts of jewels and gems, or anything you said you really needed. With the words of affirmation part.... I'm sure he needs to hear the he is wanted around people (ties up with how Maleficent was told she wasn't wanted on Aurora's birth, and since he shares the "uninvited" quality with her, thought it fit)

Lilia - acts of service & words of affirmation (giving), gifts & quality time (receiving) Ngl Lilia was hard for me to decipher. Much to the two following characters, his duty to serve Malleus makes him keen on offering help. Having raised two wonderful boys, Lilia knows his way around complimenting and giving nice comments to people to make them cheer up and feel confident. It's said that Vanrouge used to travel and would bring with him souvenirs, so I think he likes little trinkets to decorate his room with. This fae has many stories to share! Sit down and have a nice chat with him, he surely will adore it!

Silver - acts of service (giving), quality time (receiving) Being Malleus' ward, I get the feeling Silver will no doubt offer his help with anything you do. This boy appreciates when people spend time with him whenever he's awake and available, but won't decline if they wish to share a nap together.

Sebek - acts of service (giving), words of affirmation (receiving) Similar to Silver, his duty is to serve his Young Master. Sebek will offer to aid you on your chores and goals. HE LIKES TO BE PRAISED!! He even says so as one of his alchemy class lines! Pamper the croc boy with nice words~

And, finally...

Grim - words of affirmation & gifts (receiving) I'll be honest and say I don't know what Grim's giving love language is... I'm leaning towards acts of service bc he somehow agrees to put up with his chores and scolding/punishment at times But it's clear he likes gifts of food (he's the Great Grim! Deserves to be venerated!) and praise
