Hello! First of all, congrats on making that 400 follower milestone!🎉 For the event, Leona Kingscholar + No. 2, please! Thanks!

Hi and thank you!!! I honestly had fun writing this one (you'll see why lol). I hope that you like it @savanaclaw1996 😁

Note: set after the Fairy Gala

Word Count: 231

Warnings: not beta read and possible OOC characters

The Fairy Gala group had returned after their eventful day and needed a shower to remove the ridiculous amount of glitter and makeup Vil threw at them.

“Let me walk you back to your dorm and help remove your makeup, herbivore,”

“Sure. Lead the way.” Yuu smiled while adjusting the sleeping Grim with one arm.

Ruggie watched as Leona and Yuu walked off too close to be considered friendly.

“What are you looking at?” Kalim asked while skipping over to the hyena’s side.

“Can’t you see what’s happening?”

“What?”

“And they don’t have a clue!”

“Who?” Kalim asked innocently. Ruggie pointed at the two lovebirds, catching the moment Leona intertwined his hand with Yuu’s.

“They’ll fall in love, and here’s the bottom line, our group would be down by two.”

“We are not friends,” Jamil joined in with a serious expression.

Ruggie ignored Jamil and threw an arm over Kalim’s shoulders, “Can’t you see it, Kalim? The magic everywhere!”

“Well, we use magic every day,” Jamil added.

Kalim’s mouth opened in an ‘o’ like a lightbulb lit up in his head, and Ruggie grinned.

“There’s romance in the air!”

——

“They’re so loud,” Leona complained, causing Yuu to laugh. The two were far, but they could hear Ruggie and Kalim’s yelling, especially Leona.

Yuu squeezed Leona’s hand and laughed, “Just ignore them. We can reveal our relationship to them in the morning.”

A/N: Ruggie yelled “finally” when it was announced, Kalim was very happy, Jamil congratulated them, and Crewel had a heart attack at the age of 32 (this is based on an old post regarding dad Crewel and Yuu at the Fairy Gala)

400 event is still open!!

Who are Rook and Trey (if you don’t mind my asking)? (Love your art btw)

*Takes a DEEP breath* How much time you got- /half joking

Aight so. Rook Hunt and Trey Clover are two characters from a phone game I've been into recently, Twisted Wonderland. Yes. The. The Disney one. Written and Drawn by Yana Toboso (the artist/writer behind Black Butler. No I'm not kidding.) HEAR ME OUT kjhsdjkgdf

It's one of those gacha/visual novel-like games that gets marketed as like a dating sim, but has some of the most. Un-romantic settings/characters I've EVER seen. As an aro/ace, I applaud this lmao. Also amazing character and story writing like what the heck.

Very....boys will be boys energy but not the mean way, more of a “y’all are so stupid and ridiculous” in a fond way??

Actual answer under read more because I'm insane:

So every character is like. They aren't the Disney characters themselves but more like BASED on them? Sometimes several. I'm making a powerpoint on this to connect all the dots, here's Trey's lmao

Heartslabyul house! Based on: Mad Hatter, 3 of Clubs, King of Hearts, etc. Generally chill. You think he's the normal one, then he turns around and gives you an hour lecture on how to brush your teeth properly. Ok mom.

He also reminds me along of Ignis from Final Fantasy 15. He's. That type. But also not?? Still instant attachment that way LOL

Thing is he's VERY devoted to his childhood friend/Dorm leader, Riddle. But he will never admit this, not even to himself. (due to Trauma and also being totally completely normal. Uh-huh.)

SO IN WE BRING....ROOK HUNT (who is already on that slide HAHA)

Different house (it's a school setting, like Hogwarts but more Themed Houses based around. Different Disney villains) and SO. How do you explain Rook. Well he's based off the Huntsman from Snow White, mainly.

Gives these vibes. Incoming. Smiley. Will give affection. Somewhat of a threat.

Theater kid set loose. French. Loves beauty in all its forms. Drama, sparkles, has SO much love (platonic, I must preface, every time I use that, I mean in an unromantic manner) to give and is VERY vocal about it. Compliments you constantly and finds uplifting things to say even when you did horribly on something. You fell on your face? He will tell you you fell with magnificence or something idk he's just LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, he means EVERY WORD TOO-

This dude will not lie. His eyes are too good, he is too perceptive. Oh also he hunts some students for sport, there's that little detail (HE NEVER HURTS ANYONE as far as I know he just. Watches. Love this lil weirdo. Some of his lines are "let's play tag!" and I'm like oh NO LMAO) so like I laugh at him but he's also MILDLY TERRIFYING AND CAPABLE LIKE DUDE-

Anyway, TREY you meet early since he's in the first house you deal with, Heartslabyul. But my first exposure to ROOK was through Trey's Lab Card story, which is honestly a fun time on its own. They are science club buddies!!

So right off the bat you have a very :D :D vs calm =w=;;; dynamic, which I love. But then we have....Trey, who denies how much he cares for people, for Riddle. Who shows care through his actions, baking, Due to Reasons, words of affirmation might murder him on the spot. And then we have Rook, who is a font of flowery warm appreciative words who loves and loves loudly, watching this like 👀 I see you. (incoming shots of Halloween Event part 2)

The guy calls him Chevalier des Roses to his face. Constantly. Rook has little nicknames for alot of people (most dorm leaders he calls "King of Roses" (Riddle), "King of Lions" (Leona) etc.) but he calls Trey a Knight. Of Roses. He's calling Trey Riddle's Knight. And it's very cute.

(Halloween event tossed them together and it was WONDERFUL)

But yeah Trey has his own reasons for shying away from the title. He's a baker's boy, he has no sword or armor or anything, also it's embarrassing as heck-

But Rook still sees how he treats people. He calls a knight for what it is. Rook himself ADORES his dorm Leader, Vil, and sees Trey trying to hide this same devotion and just goes "you are like me!!!" Trey: oh please no I could never-

Also they're SUCH. PARENTS.

It's just. A really good dynamic I'd LOVE to see more of, y'know? An understanding, somehow being understood by someone more than you know yourself. Rook is also weird as HECK sometimes (what do you mean you can see how Leona is yawning ALL THE WAY ACCROSS THE FEILD) and Trey nearby is. His friend. He's just like "I'm so sorry he's just like this" and it's VERY funny akjshdjksdhfs he may have to hold Rook back from blowing up the labs again, dude gets carried away.

I do love this very CUTE fan art here.

Twisted Wonderland has some lovely character dynamics. Also no one is "normal", but Rook is just another level of w h a t.

It feels like alot of interactions were just "hm spin a wheel, see who we get, slap them together" and it WORKS. SOMEHOW. Platonic Rook Trey is just one I've become extremely fond of and it's a rarer one....

You probably weren't expecting that much but it was a fun thing to answer. And THANK YOU About the art!! I wish to post more!! After school ends....soon.

YESS DEVELOPER FEED US WITH VIL HAPPY MOMMENT YAY ✧⁺⸜(●˙▾˙●)⸝⁺✧

I love seeing him laughing and being a normal teenager because I think sometimes he forget that he' s a teenager and being to though to him self. (╯︵╰,)

That's why seeing Vil happy is something priceless (〃∀〃)ゞ

And yes.. Poor Yuu have go through a lot of things.. (ﾉ_-;)…

And every chapter the more intense the problem each dorm served. From facing a strict dorm leader first OB experience, and then being a detective searching for answers of how weird the students gets hurt and fighting OB Leona who cheated on the competition. Giving our dorm to Azul and at the end we fight him as an ob as well. Getting trapped in Scarabia and felt all of the training that is of course very tiring, and fight OB Jamil at the end. Being a manager, manage a team alone with the help of Vil, the dream of great seven strated to get wild, Mickey, seeing someone almost committee murder (poisoning Neige), fight Vil in his OB. And sneakinh into a SECRET ORGANIZATION that is not a lot of people can get into (๑•̀д•́๑) and all of the phantom thing, Yuu almost experience death shoot bye a styx robot, and now they will face TWO OB at the same time. Surely Yuu is very though.

And

OH MY I NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT I ALWAYS THINK THOESE GOLDS STATEMENT ARE PRETTY WEIRD (°o°:)

Ah yes my beloved friend time loop theory of course i wouldn't forget you (´º∀º｀)

But yes if the time loop theory is correct that could lead to a lots of mess (　-̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥᷄◞ω◟-̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥᷅ )

Yes chapter 7 is very unpredictable after what happen with chapter 6 (´Д｀。

What kind of suprise Yana sensei will gave us （｡>‿‿<｡）

YES EMOTICON ANONIE I AGRREEE Happy Vil and always so freaking precious and I am always here for it!!! and i agreeee, those moments wiht vil are the best! I absoluetly love Union birthday cards for vil and Beans day 2 for that. you have VIl and Rook laughing maniacially anf Epel scared for his life lmfaoooo ☺️🌺

I cant wait to see him in more future events, it will surely be wonderful. 👏👏

YEEESSS I AM READY TO TAKE YUU, WRAP THEM IN A BLANKET, FEED THEM ALL THE GOOD MEALS, AND LET THEM SLEEP WHILE I HUNT THEIR ENEMIES 🔪😤

they didn't even get to enjoy their winter break! I swear if they dont get a break after chapter 6 I am going to revolt jkdjdsjhjshdukhk🔪🔪

and now that you bring it up, what is up with mickey?!?! he freaks me out. I would definitely broken the mirror if I was yuu. I have a feeling that mickey and the ghost camera is going to become a key part of the story.

you know what I think? what if the time loop happens or the story resents, and the ghost camera help Yuu convince others about what happens and the OBs? what if its like a memory store device that will basically remind everyone what happened??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

YES ANONE YES 🤝🤝 I especially started paying attention to lessons after the whole rook thing. you have trey talking about how the queen isn't always right or you dont always have to obey them. then you have rook....and he talks about the beauty of betrayal 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I noticed how silver and malleus brings up the topic about gold and its either just an alchemy thing because you know gold but what if it ties to the story? Malleus is a dragon after all, or maybe it has something to do with his history??

and speaking of history, that's something that Malleus and Lilia always talks about in train class. so im wondering if either history has been warped, maybe time loop theory, or maybe they know something that the others dont know? especially since rook and trey were Vice dorm leaders, and Lilia is one too so maybe he is a clue 🤔🤔🤔

im hoping its not time loop theory 😭😭😭😭because not only pain...but also I NEED DIASOMNIA CRUMBS! PLEASE, OUR WELL HAS BEEN DRY WE NEED SOME WATER SJSLKJJKS

oh anonie! but what if...what if malleus reverses time? we see the opening and malleus using magic and we know he can stop time... 🤔🤔

....I dont think any one of us will be ready anonie 😭😭 but we got this 👏👏👏

also ahhhhh cant wait for dorm ssr cards for diasomnia jxhjsxdjkshjdh

you know what theory I hope it not true? ace betrayal theory. 😭😭😭 I swear I will throw a pie at his face.

What do you think emoticon anonie?

TW chapters before, have always been social and psychological, but chapter 5 in particular is a huge middle finger to stereotype-and common beliefs/views of stereotypes.

Many assumes Vil’s backstory involved him being poor, but Kalim already proves just because you’re rich doesn’t mean your life have no problem. And before the chapter starts, many people antagonize Vil for he is harsh towards Epel, and he’s the prettily elegant one, “the mean girl”, in haters’ words, when Leona and Idia, who are objectively bigger jerks, who are understandably more disliked in-universe, get passed in the fandom for they are relatable/more masculine/boyish. Yes, ugly people have their own problem. That doesn’t mean pretty people don’t have their problem, ranging from being harassed, prejudiced as superficial or being bitch, etc.

Media and culture, for years, have been painting masculinity as strength and femininity as weakness, lawful is bad and chaotic is good, the beautiful/elegant people is wrong and the cute ones are innocent/on the right side.

Riddle already have it bad for he is lawful, but Vil has it worse for he is not only lawful, but also being feminine and pretty. Not to say we have to be unreasonably lawful like Riddle or super strict like Vil, what’s I’m trying to say is, the mindset of law and femininity is purely bad and chaos and masculinity is purely good is wrong-though, generally “pure” mindset is wrong.

Related to this, TW actually run on gray morality, not black and white. You’re too black and you get hated (like Leona and Idia) , but if you’re too white you get laughed (like Deuce, Jack, Kalim) And it’s fine. Everyone can be both wrong and right in different times , and that’s how it is in real life too. Nobody is pure evil nor they are pure good . Purity (in concept and principle)is never good actually.

Many people are rooting for Epel for the points above, for he is both chaotic and want to be masculine, and antagonize the pretty, lawful and feminine Vil, but overtime fandom are proven to be wrong. Pome chapter is huge callout for the stereotyping mindset, as well, the previous points. What Epel wants isn’t “for people to look past his looks”, it’s “to be as masculine as possible in both looks and personality” . He is not fighting prejudice, he is simply giving in to the idea of toxic masculinity. He doesn’t want people to think he’s a badass despite his look, he want to be beefy so ppl can tell he’s a badass in first glance. His idea of masculinity is to talk shit to people , be beefy as possible, to pick fights and only fight with fists. He is projecting the idea of masculinity to Jack, like how he says he wants to be beefy as Jack. It’s like when girls using a model, or basically someone else, to be her base of ideal beauty, which is equally unhealthy. It’s not fine even if it’s boys who do it, as it’s still not accepting who you actually are.

Speaking about Jack, he too is a victim of prejudice. In his robe story, Ace is surprised he’s from Pyroxene and not the Savannah., implying the prejudice beastmen only come from the savannah (and gladly Riddle immediately calls Ace out for it), in his voice lines, he is offended by Ruggie’s disbelief reaction when he says he never got red mark in exams, and he is also offended when MC is shocked he says he want to go to the library, implying the prejudice “beefy men must be brainless muscle”. Jack, is still proud of his beastmen heritage and is sporty and active, but he is also fighting prejudice of beefy men are dumbasses by studying as hard as he does his physical exercises.

We are also fed by culture and media that the word “ugly” and “beautiful” is limited to just visual things, when Pomefiore, Rook and Vil makes it clear “beauty” is everything that can be your advantage/power or your every good trait (like being unyielding, having bond and understanding others, and having special code of conduct). Which it means, the opposite also applies-that the word “ugly” Vil mentioned to himself before his overblot is more referring to his other traits. That he finally cheats, that he is weak and gives in to his stress-if he thinks strength is beautiful then he must thought weakness is ugly.

Not to say looks doesn’t matter, because it is, as we humans are visual creatures, and if visuals don’t matter, we don’t only wouldn’t have fashion or beauty care products, or visual arts, but even visual informations like newspapers, books, or even socmed pages, and fashion can be a form of self expression. The problem is when people don’t use their brain and see past through someone’s looks. Looks is part of one’s identity, but it’s not all there is to them.

Riddle paints himself as the judge and executioner, not only establishing law of the Queen of Hearts but also punishes people who crossed her rules on the place with his UM and decapitating them from their magic. Vil, meanwhile, paints himself as a tutor. He’s strict, but he’s not lawful for the sake of law. He seeks to help people grow, to taught people things, but being strict teacher he is, he refuses to teach in first go, letting you try your own method first (Deuce’s lab coat story),or that when he agrees to help, he will teach you how to do it instead of doing it and gives you the final result (Jamil’s dorm uniform) . He is explicitly nicer to people who are willing to learn (his own Halloween card) Alternatively, he can be pestered to help (Halloween, Malleus pretty much pestering him with the whole western dragon vs eastern dragon difference for one hour ), or,despite all his complaints, he will help anyway (Ghost Marriage, Vil mentions Idia often asks for his help) . He also congratulates ppl who did grow well, even if they did beat him. (fairy gala ending, Epel when finally admitting cuteness is advantage too, Deuce right after he beats him) , he is fine with people hating him as long they actually develop themselves-that he thinks his responsibility is to help ppl grow, not to make ppl simply adore him (his own dorm uniform)And he also breaks the pattern of great seven incarnate harassing MC and gets gradually more hostile about it. He can also appreciate other’s kindness (his own robe story), as well strong point (PE voice line, he openly admits Epel’s strong point in flying), and can even show some sympathy (not empathy ) (Ortho’s ceremony gear)

Leona insults others to feed his superiority inferiority complex and knows where it hurt (like calling Riddle Red Midget or bastard octopus to Azul-note, that was the insult Azul used on himself on his self deprecating moment after his overblot) , Vil insults other as the ones he deems unworthy yet to call with name, but potatoes, French for potatoes is “earth’s apple”, also back in the day ppl are scared to eat potatoes bc they are still related to nightshade/belladonna and said to be devil’s plant , only after they get past the prejudice they eat potatoes. So yeah if he call you by name , it means he already acknowledge you to certain degree, and if he still uses vegetables he’s still deems you unworthy-no romantic hc blogs it’s not what he will call his s/o

Fandom complained, “save Epel, he doesn’t fit in Pomefiore, and he’s stuck” but is he? He did , in fact, have a choice, mentioned in Jade’s dorm uniform by Vil “You know how to change dorms, right Epel?” It’s by his own admission he stays in Pomefiore bc his pride to prove Vil wrong that “cute isn’t a strength on its own” Besides, Pome isn’t just about being yourself (despite being art neurodivergent and defying gender norms), it’s also not about picking your fight-instead, it’s about picking the method.

Again, we are fed to the idea femininity is weak by other media and culture. In TW,yes, Vil is obectively the most feminine of TW cast, but weak? Definitely not.He can beat the beefy guys physically (PE uniform voice line), easily, and magically, he is strong enough to be able to make barrier than can protect people from MALLEUS (Cater halloween) , and when he’s overblot, he is the only one so far you failed to beat until Deuce used the counterattack using his own magic. Kalim isn’t joking or is in the clouds when he says Vil is one of the strongest mage of the school.

Yes, Yana says fuck patterns and stereotypes, but it’s not like she pulls plot twists randomly out of her ass.She always put foreshadowings first. Vil being bullying victim already mentioned as early as his robe story,, that the overblot cause is always something that is already problem to them even BEFORE NRC-Epel was able to curb people before NRC and get away with being a jerk, it wasn’t until Vil beat him in opening day that he started to be stressed about the whole manner thing. that he doesn’t like things that doesn’t last from his school uniform, and the previous mentions of Vil’s tutor traits above that he’s not as malicious , not just the mean girl fandom make him to be. Chapter titles always refer to the local great seven incarnate, not specifically the prefect. “Desert’s Tactician” is clearly Jamil, not Kalim.Being a strategist is certainly not Kalim’s trait. Chapter title not referring to him, he wasn’t stressed before NRC, and the blot dripping scene happes without him, why the surprise it’s not Epel who overblot ? the build up is all there.

Savanaclaw Main Story Review

Welcome to the second twisted wonderland story review, or should I say analysis? A little bit of both! Today we will be focusing on Chapter 2 of the main story AKA Savanaclaw. This will once again focus on the character moments, as I believe Savanaclaw was one of the weaker stories in terms of plot. If you’re interested in why, you can read my final thoughts after this whole review! Of course warning for spoilers.

Jack Howl

The 1st year that I affectionately refer to as Yana Toboso’s werewolf OC. Jack is actually a character the writing team has concocted from their own brains rather than being based off any of the animals in the Lion King. That doesn’t mean he’s any lesser for that!

Jack is actually the biggest model when it comes to Savanaclaw’s values and perhaps the only one who strictly upholds them even when his dorm is facing difficulties. His character is actually something familiar you see in joseimuke games, the student who values strength above cunning. Typically this means that said student ends up just a little stupid, and Jack doesn’t lack in this department either. But no one ever said the first years were appealing because they’re the smartest of the bunch.

He is somewhat of a sub antagonist, cryptic about his intentions and even triggering a fight with the protagonist, as well as Ace and Deuce. But as the story progresses you begin to see that he’s one of the few genuine people who mean no harm at NRC. Jack is presented as someone who while being a little bit of a dunce at times, is extremely bright and does not compromise his morals for any reason.

One could view him as a bit of the “ideal,” when positioned against Leona and Ruggie, who don’t hesitate to employ underhanded tactics in the story. He’s honest, open about his emotions, and a reliable person. Unfortunately, being a first year means he doesn’t have much in the way of personal backstory, the most we know about him being that the dorm head of Pomefiore has a soft spot for him due to them previously being neighbors.

Ruggie Bucchi

A liar, a cheat, a conniving bastard Ruggie Bucchi is. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t doing all of those things without a reason. Ruggie is arguably the most complex in Savanaclaw, due to his weasly nature. He is the main perpetrator behind the “incidents,” taking place that cause key members to be taken out of commission before the magift tournament starts. But before getting into why he would do such a thing, let’s take a look at his past.

Ruggie was a street kid that grew up in the slums of his town. This meant he couldn’t get by in life unless he played dirty and greedily. Despite attending NRC, that is the only way of life he knows. Even though he is in a much more comfortable position, the game goes so far as to describe him as a glutton. Obviously Ruggie just can’t kick his survival instincts, and it even shows with how he utilizes his magic.

Ruggie’s unique magic, “laugh with me” plays a central part to the story and brings together the character I described above. While not particularly severe, he does put several people in the infirmary with it. People that for all intents and purposes have done nothing to him personally, all because Leona ordered him to. It was rather clear that Ruggie had ample time to say no as well, so why exactly would he engage in something he doesn’t necessarily have a stake in?

It’s because Leona ordered him to do it, and Ruggie cares about Leona. That’s it. The lynchpin holding Ruggie’s character together is that Leona and Ruggie care about each other to a startling degree. To the point that Ruggie is willing to do things that are quite obviously morally wrong because they have a strong bond. If you catch yourself thinking otherwise, I’d like to touch on a small tidbit regarding Ruggie’s uniform. It’s actually a hand me down from Leona, one which he could’ve easily rejected. If Ruggie didn’t like and respect him in some capacity, why would he wear Leona’s old uniform? Exactly.

Leona Kingscholar

The main antagonist of this whole story. It’s the sleepy, tired, yawning, tired, and most of all sleepy, Leona! If you didn’t catch all the adjectives I used, one of Leona’s main traits is that he likes to sleep. And while one may think he’d be more proactive in the story, he actually spends a lot of it sleeping. While passed off as something quirky at first, each episode begins to reveal more and more that it’s a symptom of the problem with Savanaclaw, and with Leona personally.

Leona’s main drive for the underhanded tactics he had Ruggie perform as well as his sleepy behavior is that he doesn’t view putting in effort as something worth doing. For why, it requires dipping into his backstory.

Leona is just the heir to the throne in his home country, but he’s the “second inferior” son. His brother is actually the one who's next in line, and thus Leona’s efforts were never exactly recognized. It’s pretty clear that Leona fell into a deep depression that carried over into NRC because of this. It’s evident just by his age, he’s 20 years old and has yet to graduate despite being around 2 years older than the third years. Why should he bother to graduate if no one expects anything of him? Yet despite that, Leona still yearns to be on top and be recognized in some fashion. Clashing with his lethargic behavior, so what exactly does he do to deal with his contradictory feelings in this story? Well, besides going to bed.

He has Ruggie do things for him! Remember, the entire premise of this story is that Savanaclaw was a dorm that focused on physical strength and thus displayed that via the Magift tournaments. However, Diasomnia, more specifically Malleus has continuously beat them and thus caused them to finish second place every single time. Leona’s desire to win as well as his innate resentment for people who are naturally talented and praised causes him to employ slimy tactics to fix this. Yet he has the unmitigated gall to have his vice dorm head do things for him instead of having the balls to do it himself.

So with that in mind, you must really think that Ruggie’s care for Leona is one-sided, but this idea actually leads into his overblot. Leona DOES care about Ruggie, to such a high degree that one of the main reasons for his overblot was not just that his plan was foiled. It was the fact Ruggie was disappointed in him. Remember until now Ruggie has gone along with everything Leona’s said and done, respecting him immensely despite the fact he hasn’t exactly been a model dorm head. Yet when Leona is ready to give up and one of the few people he truly cares about begins to lose trust in him, he snaps.

Final Thoughts

While Savanaclaw’s story had a wealth of character details and really let us know what the dorm was all about. It did struggle very heavily in letting us know if anything particularly changed in their characterization, as well as the plot kind of not being as complex as Heartslaybuls. A few chapters felt like padding to keep us from solving the main conflict too fast, and the lack of characters meant that a lot of interactions were once again self contained.

This makes Savanaclaw a very strong character story, but a very weak plot based one. But obviously with so many dorms, there are going to be some plots that are hit or miss. So it doesn’t exactly take away from how genuinely enjoyable Savanaclaw’s chapter was.
