ah, there's the answer
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the second volume of the light novel, we learn the answer to a little detail that was a little vague in the game. Leona made a deal with Azul to get his hands on a magic-enhancing potion for Ruggie to use. Many have been wondering what exactly did Leona give up to get his hands on this potion?? The light novel tells us for sure it is… an absurd amount of money (the same thing is implied in 2-22; Azul comments that he was thinking about refurnishing the lounge when Leona’s offer came in, but the light novel says it was cash more clearly 😂
(Please note that the deal made for the magic-enhancing potion may be different than the contract Leona mentions having with Azul in book 3, was Leona talks about it like it is separate from the one in book 2. Ruggie also remarks that he wants to see “what kind of contract it was”, implying he doesn’t know what it contained, even though he seems well aware in book 2 about where the potion came from. This would mean that the Leona contracts in book 2 and book 3 are separate, not one and the same. We still don’t have any details about the book 3 Leona-Azul deal.)
That answer sounds underwhelming at first glance, right? There’s been so many fan theories about Leona selling secrets (usually related to the Kingscholar royal family) or more intangible but valuable things such as memories. And maybe it doesn’t seem to make sense in the context of book 3, where Leona is interested in ripping up his contract, since this is the same guy that leaves his wallet lying around.
I think this is detail is actually meant to say something more about Leona’s character. It’s not about money or what he specifically gave (which is why I believe the game doesn’t bring the specifics up). It’s about his pride. Leona wouldn’t trust Azul with anything like secrets or memories, but money is no object to a prince like him. It’s just material. The issue is that it still puts Leona in a position where someone is “holding” something over him, that he is still indebted to Azul. For someone as intelligent as Leona is, he wouldn’t want to be in situation like that; he always wants to have a leg up. Ripping up the contract, then, is a strategic move (since it seems he already provided Azul the money). If the payment’s already been made, then destroying the contract doesn’t get him the money back (money which, again, Leona doesn’t care for and has plenty of where that came from). Leona is just dusting his contract to preserve his ego and sense of pride.

HELLO GOOD MORNING OR AFTERNOON OR NIGHT. So i started playing twisted wonderland recently and have been enjoying the main story so far, but i have a question. Are there other things i have to check out to understand the lore? I know there is a manga, and i think that there are also some event stories. Do i have to seek out these other things or should i just keep playing the main story?
welcome to Twst! 🎉🎉🎉 I admit upfront that I am not 100% plugged-in to the fandom at large, so if anything I say is wrong, somebody please correct me!
generally I think the game is considered, like, the "default" canon, and you don't need to read the manga (and I think there are some light novels too?) unless, y'know, you want to! they're adaptations of the main story and are basically their own canon, with their own takes on the characters and story. I do sometimes see references but not in, like, a way that requires you to have read them (like a bunch of people started using the manga's designs for little Riddle+Trey+Che'nya after that chapter came out, but no one would be like "uhhh that's wrong" if someone used their own design for them, if that makes sense) (their manga designs are extremely cute though, I want Riddle's sweater in real life).
in terms of the game itself, I would say you might want to read at least some of the personal stories -- there are a lot of them, but they're also usually pretty short, and they're where a lot of the character details and interactions and extra silly stuff tend to be hidden. people upload them to YouTube and/or post translations, so they're pretty easy to find even if you don't have the cards!
most of the events are similarly pretty fun, but they are skippable if you really don't want/have time to read them, since they don't tend to get referenced outside of the event (except for one throwaway reference to Master Chef in episode 7, which honestly still blows my mind that they acknowledged an event in the main story). the ones that take place in characters' hometowns have also traditionally introduced a relative/related character/whatever-Kifaji-is of the event SSR, so those are definitely worth a read if you're interested in that!
tl;dr because I'm incapable of being concise: manga/novels are their own canon separate from the game, you can stick with just the game's main story if you want but it's worth also reading the personal stories/events for the character bits (and it is 100% worth it just to go through episode 5 knowing that Vil has Floyd-juice rubbed into his face the whole time)

Digital Fanbook: TWST Isekai AUs
Tumblr media
🌟 Digital PDFs are now available on my kofi here! 🌟
Following the theme of ‘isekai AUs’, this fanbook will feature 5 long oneshots where the reader is isekaied (transported into another world) in some capacity.
All 22 guys are featured, however their relationship with the reader is mainly general/platonic for inclusiveness!
➡️ 44,100+ words ➡️ Reader insert, gender neutral reader (they/them) ➡️ Full color cover illustrated by @tartppola!
The stories in this fanbook are not published on my blog, except for short excerpts as sneak peeks!
STORY SUMMARIES:
🌹 Heartslabyul: you wake up in the body of the protagonist from a novel. As ‘Alice Carrol’, you attempt to steer the story away from the tragedies of the novel’s plot, where Riddle Rosehearts, the crown prince, perishes as a tyrant.
🦁 Savanaclaw: in an unfamiliar world and body, you find yourself on the ship of the ‘King of Pirates’, Leona Kingscholar (also a second prince who has since gone independent.)
🌊 Octavinelle + Ignihyde: reincarnated as a human living at a seaside village, you get entangled in the world underneath the water’s surface. It seems that there's a curse of some sort on merpeople, which the Sea Witch Azul is trying to lift.
👑 Pomefiore + Scarabia: you're understandably confused when you're summoned as a ‘saint’ to the Pyroxene Kingdom. Between your role to assist in the crowning of the ‘fairest’ in the land, it's all you can do to stay out of trouble.
🐉 Diasomnia: isekaied into a story you were reading, you find yourself in a tough spot as the protagonist who infiltrates Briar Valley as an agent from the human kingdom. Is their POV of the story perhaps flawed in comparison to the friends you've found in the fae?
CONTENT WARNINGS:
MENTIONS of character death (doesn't actually happen in the fic), execution, kidnapping, light violence, drowning, attempted assassination, fictional political conflict, firearms - and other similar themes often featured in manhwa/royalty AU settings.
NOT described extensively or explicit, so still rated teens and up.
Specific warnings will be attached to the start of each fic for reader discretion!
Get it here!

Howdy! I was wondering what the twst guys would do if apocalypse mc came to twisted wonderland with a rifle and handgun? Like rook learning they can be used for hunting or lilias reaction to the weapons of war from their world
You don’t have to write this! I’ve just been brainrotting about this 😮‍💨
Anyway thanks for your time!💕💕
I really need to add a character limit to this.
I'm doing one from the first 5 dorms and if you want more characters I'll get to them once requested open again.
FEM ALIGNED DNI
Yuu pronouns are he/him
Characters: Ace (technicallyduece too ig), ruggie, jade, kalim, and rook
Warnings: Dueces slight suicidal ideation, ruggies lowkey nihilism, you kill a monster in Jades part, slight body horror in Kalims part, not proof read
________________________________
Ace:
Ace was pissed. Why? Because he was fucking stupid.
He was stupid. Duece was stupid. And that weird kids with the weird mask and the fucking fire monster was fucking stupid.
Because someone thought it would be a great idea to run away from their clean up duty (Grim (ace quietly chose to ignore that he had tried to do the same thing first)) by hiding in a chandelier was a good idea, and someone else thought hurling him into said chandelier with questionable at best magic was an even better idea.
So now ace trappola was running for his life in a crystal mine, with only the same people who got him into this situation in the first place here with him.
These feelings only seemed to be amplified after duece decided that the crystals were worth more than his life! Also it didn't exactly help that he had seen the magicless guy almost get impaled with one of the oversized pickaxes that...that thing was swinging around.
"My....m.y..Give me back..my. STONES"
The adrenaline rushed through aces body like a wave, it's only purpose being to make sure he survives dammit! He doesn't even care if he gets expelled anymore. His brother has told him enough stories about NRC to write a novel. Ace had come here with a picture already painted in his head and this was not it.
He made a sharp turn left. They had walked down this tunnel on their way in right?
He saw a little light poke out just around the next turn.
Yeah, they had come through this way.
Ace heard a small yelp and the sound of dirt being scattered and a small thud of someone hitting the ground.
He didn't look back. He just kept running.
He kept running until he came across the small cottage that they'd gone into earlier. Duece stumbled in right after him. The masked boy and the fire cat-weasle thing on his shoulders.
The guy was covered in dirt. He's probably the one that fell.
Ace was bent over, panting like he had just ran for his life, probably because he did, but he's pretty sure he heard duece half gently set the kid, whose name he still didn't really know, down before he joined ace in his desperate attempt to catch his breath.
Ace closed his eyes. What the hell is happening right now? Why was he here? Why did he have to go tease that weird magicless freak this morning and pick a fight with their freaky cat?
You know what? Fuck this. If he gets expelled, so be it. There are plenty of other magic schools, including ones closer to home. He'll be just fine.
Duece however, didn't seem to get the memo.
"It was right there...we have to go back!", duece had so much determination in his voice...
Ace felt his eye twitch. "Like hell we do!"
Duece snapped his head towards him, and the mystery bro was still sitting on the floor, now cradling grim like he was an actual cat.
"Yeah, no. Sorry, but that crystal ain't worth it"
"So...so you're just gonna take the expulsion lying down? Just like that!? What are you, some kind of coward!?", duces voice got progressively more angry, which ace thought was bullshit.
He thought he was being perfectly reasonable with his choices, thank you very much.
"Uhhh. Yeah! Sorry not sorry, I choose life!"
I mean sure, his brother is gonna look at him all disappointed and shit, but hey, at least he'd be alive to see it.
Ace looked back at Mr. Mask-Man, who was still quietly petting grim, acting like they weren't even there.
It kind of pissed him off a little.
"Hey", he looked up, Ace count see their eyes, but somehow he knew they weren't making eye contact "do you have any better ideas? Or are you just gonna sit there the while time and not do anything?"
Was he being unfair? Probably. This guy (he should really ask for his name) wasn't even supposed the be in night Raven college, not to mention here? And he probably didn't want to be here any more than he did.
Did he care about that though? No. Not right now anyway.
Ace expected him to just put his head back down and go back to petting his freaky weasel. He expected them to just shrink up on themselves while ace went back to yelling at duece.
He did expect the guys head to perk up the smallest bit, he didn't expect the sudden feeling of very intense eye contact either.
And he definitely didn't expect him the nod and stand up so fast ace almost stumbled back.
But you know what the absolute last thing he expected from this guy? Going back to the mines.
Going back to the mines and waiting with duece for grim and the masked guy to come hauling ass back up the hill with the ...inky monster in tow. Because that's what's going to happen. Apparently.
...fuck. This guy was some type of maniac wasn't he?
Ace just glared at the ground. There wasn't anything he could do about it now, but he was still gonna be pissed if he died with a possible psychopath currently running towards him, and this blue gumball son of a bitch standing next to him.
"Bring me....my...stooones!"
He took a deep breath, possibly one of his lasts.
But I mean hey, might as well go out with a bang right?
The next few minutes all seemed to happen in slow motion, and somehow ace could already see the moment when the reality of all this would all hit him. At 3 am or something like that. Probably.
...yeah. 3 am.
"Ace watch out!", a panicked, exhausted voice called out to him. Probably duece.
His head snapped over to where his dormmate was. What's happening?
The answer seemed pretty damn obvious, when a large shadow seemed to swallow him whole, a product of the monsters looming stature.
Ace froze. Seeing his life start to flash before his eyes. Memory after memory replaying in his mind.
You never really know how little you've lived until you see it all right in front of you...
BAM.
Aces eyes shot open (when had he closed them?) To see Mr. Mask standing just roughly six meters away from him, holding a...
...uh....what the hell was that?
BAM. BAM. BAM.
The loud noises rang out one by one. One right after the other.
Ace booked it to the side, trying to catch his breath.
Only for it to get caught again once he looked up.
The creatures head, the glass ink jar, was leaking. It had six small holes in it, and cracks spiderwebbing out from said holes. As the cracks grew larger, the glass began to break off, and more and more ink began to pour out.
"Duece!"
Aces eyes snapped to their third member, who responded immediately with another cauldron.
The head finally shattered. And the monster disappeared.
Slowly, aces gaze fell on the Ramshakle resident once again. Blinking slowly as he watched the guy put the...loud..thing away, before picking up grim once again.
Ace opened his mouth, and before he could even begin to realize what he was doing, he asked, "what was that?"
You called it a gun.
Ruggie:
Listen. Ruggie wasn't new to violence. You can't live in the slums all your life and make it out completely sheltered, no matter how hard your parents try.
And sure. Ruggie wasn't exactly a saint himself, But at this point, was anyone? He certainly didn't think so.
Yeah. Almost getting killed by leona fucked him up a little. But really, it wasn't that new when he really thought about it.
And yeah, leona never really apologized to him for all that, but at times like that, in an environment like savanaclaw? He didn't need to. His actions, no matter how small they were, still spoke for themselves.
So yeah. Ruggie bucchi has a lot of experience with violence.
But if you were to ask ruggie if he's ever seen anything like this before? Yeah. He'd have to answer no.
Everything was going shit. They were following the plan, he did his part flawlessly might he add, and then Azul decided he didn't want to follow the script. So now he was surround by black ink, panicking students, and slightly less panicking... allies? Allies.
But yeah. This sucked.
And so began the fight for his life once again. Honestly, this shit was getting old.
Whipping his head in every which way to look or for flying debris and tentacles (and wasn't that a sentence), and keeping his ears open for shouted commands and warnings, his attention landed on you for half a second, before quickly turning away; In that half second he saw you pull something out from jacket pocket.
About five seconds later, he heard a loud bang.
And not like when the construction workers accidentally drop a metal beam on concrete or something. No, this was just a loud, earth shattering bang that demanded attention. And attention it got.
Several heads snapped to you, holding a...uhhh. You tilted your head to the side, either in confusion or trying to get an angle on Azul.
BANG BANG
And then there was a scream, distorted and pained, with a faint sound of gushing and sloshing, a liquid being spilled. Ink being spilled out of the overblot phantoms head.
"Huh...the other one just died immediately..", he heard you mutter.
Ruggie shot a pointed look over to leona, who just looked at him in confusion. Ok. So he didn't miss anything during his housewardens little episode. He took a quick glance at the heartslabyul duo, who looked like they understood. Well, Ace understood. Duece wasn't close enough to hear and didn't have the hearing to pick up the slack.
Ok. So maybe yuu also decided to whip the thing out when riddle when crazy? He'll ask around later. Probably.
A tentacle slammed right next to him and started writhing around with another loud scream as the phantom lost more and more ink, and Ruggie remembered where they were.
The damage you did the overbloted octopus wasn't enough to downright defeat him, but it was enough to at least make the rest of the way a hell of a lot easier. So they're odds were looking much better than they were. Small mercies.
When everything eventually came to a head and the ink was beginning to melt off of Azul and he could finally breathe, he let his mind drift back to you.
Ok. What the hell. What was that? Why did it make that noise? What did it even do? How'd it shatter thick ass, magic glass? Did it launch blades at it or something? Also, why are you pretending like this whole thing was completely normal?
You weren't freaking out about this, you honestly seemed more focused on combing the gunk out of Azuls hair with your gloved fingers while the twins tried to asses his mental state, grim flopping on the ground off to your side. Now, this is probably your third, or maybe even fourth time you've been in this situation. But perfect, you treating it like it's just another Tuesday isn't exactly. Uh. Normal?
Not that you were normal, you had just began taking regular baths, which he was immensely grateful for. Seriously, he could only hold back leonas hair as he puked so many times before it got old. But even your (lack of) personality raised a few questions. Sometimes he wondered if you where really even there half the time.
After he caught his breath, he began to walk over to where you were, Ace and duece now scolding you and jade trying to check if you were hurt or not, and holy shit that is a big ass gash.
But he was already standing right behind you, so he honestly might as well ask.
"Hey. So uh. What did you do? What made the bangs?"
Your head snapped in his direction, pausing to just stare at him for a few unnerving seconds.
And then you pulled something out and called it a gun.
Jade:
Jade didn't really question why you wanted to join his club, he was just glad someone did. Even if that someone was a fucking weirdo like yourself.
Listen, jade wasn't picky when it came to his clubmembers ok?
Plus, aside from a few conversations about a bird or plant species you liked, and many more questions about basic things that you had apparently never seen before, and him acting like he knew any better than you about it, things went smoothly.
He collected his mushrooms and occasionally stopped to do a fieldsketch and you rolled around in moss and somehow became an instant bird whisperer. It was a good system.
About as good as it could be while you were running from a big ass monster.
Ok. Listen. He knew that there were monsters on this particular mountain, and he knew that some of them were man eaters. But dammit he did the research before hand! He made sure the two of you avoided their natural habitats at all cost! But apparently, this particular one could smell human blood much better than the rest, and apparently, you thought it was a good idea to not tell him you had cut yourself on a rock and were now bleeding.
"There's a cave right there!", he saw you point to an opening in a rock wall that was most definitely the small least cave he'd ever seen "do you think we could hide in it for a minute"
"I don't know!", you didn't really have any other options, running forever until you reached the place where the mirror had dropped you both off was more than inconvenient, especially on a mountain that had more steep cliffs than average. So he quickly signaled to you and began running towards it, awkwardly running into the small hole and barely seeing you baseball slide your way into there with much more ease.
Desperately trying to catch his breath, he started to plan. You only had a few minutes at best before the monster caught up to you, so the best thing they could do with the time they had was treat your wound to the best of his ability, and hope that the smell of blood would gradually fade and the beast would be thrown off your trails.
Click
He looked to you, hunched over and sill slightly panting as you loaded small, but long pointed metal cylinders into...something?
You had stopped wearing the mask, being one of the few people you trusted enough to see your face, which was sweet if he thought about, you were even getting better to look at! Looking a lot less like you had come back from the dead after the apocalypse and more like a recovering drug addict, but hey! Progress!
But he point is, he could see your face, and the look on your eyes, and...
Ah shit.
Perfect. Listen perfect, he knows you're batshit crazy, he is too, but please, you're going to get them killed. Even with your insane amount of luck, your half baked plans only work most of the time so for the love of the sea witch please just-
"I have an idea"
...Dammit.
So that's how you both got here, kneeling just barely out of the cave opening, and him standing on the Rocky formation right above you outside the cave. Waiting for the monster, and possi ly for death. If he survives this the first things he'd doing when he gets back to his dorm room is write his will so that he can make sure his precious mushrooms aren't thrown away by his brother. Would riddle accept them?
"Jade!"
He blinked, got his magic pen ready, and you cocked your gun. Staring at the place where the sound of heavy footsteps and snarls were coming from.
You both waited with baited breath as themonsters form came running up the steep hill and charged towards the two of you.
The sensation of water and earth magics filled the air as spell after spell was released, hitting the creature a good majority of the time. Meanwhile, you were shifting slightly, getting into a position that didn't look the most comfortable, but apparently it worked for you because you quickly gave him a small warning shout.
Jade covered his ears. You had warned him about the sound guns make, and how many people went deaf fro them due to lack of proper equipment and training, you sounded like you were repeating a quote that was all but drilled into you, a saying that everyone knows but never really says out loud. Did he belive you were exaggerating? Slightly.
That went away when he heard the loud boom though, even through his covered ears. Jade grew slightly concerned at the fact that you didnt seem to be too affected by all this.
You didn't seem too surprised at the loud noise. Just angling and adjusting the gun position until you could hit your target more accurately as it moved.
He heard ten shots go off. Out of those ten, at least seven actually hit. The monster, being as huge as it was, was about to ignore the first three. The rest, however, were clearly starting to take a toll on the thing.
He saw you pull the trigger a few more times, nothing more than assumed clicks coming out. Jade couldn't be too sure, as the pained roars of the monster completely drowned out the sound. Wordlessly, he got took his hands away from his ears and readied his magic. Letting it burst all around him and borage the monster as soon as your hand shot up into the air. The signal that you needed to reload and he had to momentarily take over.
The whole event took about fifteen minutes that felt like they were stretched into hours. Ending with him feeling a bit lightheaded, and you firing three extra shots into what he was pretty sure was a monstrous corpse. "Just in case".
Wanting to sit down and take a moment to collect himself was only just outweighed by the urge to make sure you were alright. So, jade jumped down from his little rock podium; he reached the ground just as you completely crawled out of the cave entrance.
Gently, he asked, "are you alright perfect?". A perfectly appropriate question to ask after...that.
To which you, in reply, completely flop down on the rough ground and let out a loud groan, both of you pretending that there wasn't a dead, three-metter tall monster right next to you.
An equally appropriate response.
"Four magazines jade! Four! I'm going to have to make soany bullets now!", jade only nodded, like how you do when he starts ranting about his beloved mushrooms.
Oh well, he'd understand soon enough. He has plenty of questions regarding you and you gun for the walk back to the mirror location.
Kalim:
Kalim felt like was caving in on him.
This was all happening so fast, way too fast. The one person that he thought he could trust whole heartedly, the boy he saw as nothing less than a brother, had done all this.
It was a lot to take in. Everything from his supposed verdict of keeping his dorm members in school, to yuu and grims vague comments, comments that he now recognizes for the warnings they were, to the guys from octavinnle, jamil overblotting, getting flung to the dessert, and now to be back here? Fighting for not only his, but his best friends (were they though?) Life?
Kalim just wanted to cry. The drop the the floor and cry. But he'd already done that and there was no time to do it again now. Not when he could see the ink and the snakes sucking out more and more of jamils life, when he could see jamils body begin the break down and contort in ways that shouldn't be possible. Not when his eyes grew more deranged with every second.
No, Kailm couldn't cry now. Not when Jamil was dying.
Magic attacks meeting the emotions of dread and rage that jamil had kept professionally buried only served made the air more tense. Yuu occasionally shouted directions from he sidelines, directions to use fire magic instead of water, or to dodge an incoming attack that very well could have killed him if it made contact.
And that just raises the question. Did jamil..? Was it his intention to kill him? Was that his goal the entire time?
....No. No, if Jamil wanted Kailm dead, then Kailm would be dead. He didn't want Kailm gone he just wanted him to go away. And for that reason, Kailm had the hope that he needed that he could fix this. And by the seven he'll cling to it for as long as he lives if that's what it takes.
"Perfect!", Jades sharp voice took Kailm right out of his thoughts.
"Yeah? Kailm move to the right!", he moved to the right, just in time for a borage of ink and thron covered vines to come crashing into the exact spot he was standing not even five seconds prior. The vines writhing around like they were alive, and he could see the sharp, jagged edges of its thorns cut into its self with the ease of cutting through soft butter. Not that he would know. "What do you need?"
"Do you have your gun?", Jade svoice was deathly calm, which was a bit jarring all things considered.
He didn't know what a "gun" was, but he guesses floyd knew, because he groaned louder than some of his youngest siblings when they had to get up early.
From out the corner of his eye, he saw you stop for a few seconds. Then you answered.
"Yeah", something in your voice that he couldn't quite read. "Yeah, but I only have like five shots"
Both jade and azul looked less than pleased with that, and Kailm still didn't know what was going on, so he just threw more fire at his friend.
"Well then. You better make them count", azuls matter of fact voice rang out.
He didn't see if you nodded or not. And for the next minute, he didn't hear you at all. There were no more instructions being shouted or anything like that. Just the continued onslaught of four peoples magic, all trying desperately to snap Jamil out of his current state. Who was being bent into more and more inhuman shapes as the seconds passed.
His jaw was opening a little too wide as he laughed, his fingers seemed to be getting longer and more claw like, and his voice was so now so distorted that he could barely even understand what he was saying.
But what freaked him out the most what the loud cracking and crunches of bones breaking. Jamils spine now seemed too long, bent in an unnatural way, accompanied by a crack everytime he moved. He only laughed.
Kalim didn't laugh. There was ink running down his body, all from where he had been contorted. And as time crawled on, his eyes grew more and more crazed, and his distorted laughs turned more like screams.
Kalim wasn't the best at magic, he had never been the best at magic, he knew that, even before now. So when he felt himself become light headed as his energy and magic supply ran low, he started to panic.
Oh no. Oh sevens, oh no. Please no. Not now. Anytime but now. He couldn't lose now. What would happen to jamil? How would he get Jamil home after this?
How was he supposed to tell Jamils family that their son and brother was dead?
BANG
A distorted scream ran out as floyd began to cheer, and his stomach dropped.
BANG BANG BANG
More screams. Blood curdling screams that froze Kalim where he stood. Watching jamils face begin the crack, ink pouring through the cracks on his face like blood as his eyes rolled back and his entire expression turned to one of pain. A perfect mirror to the shattering phantom that loomed behind him.
"I have one shot left and I am not wasting it! Aim for the cracks! Use fire! It'll weaken the glass!", your voice rang out, carrying a determination with it, but also the reality that they were in no way out of the woods yet.
"You mean the magic glass?", azul was skeptical
"Its magic fire", Kailm could hear the shrug in your voice.
Kalim is ashamed to admit it. But he wasn't much help after this. Jamils vpice had random breaks from the distortion. So he had a perfect audio of jamil screaming his vocal cords raw in his actual voice. Something that would haunt him until the day he died.
Ink was still pouring out from his wounds. Bones were still breaking. And it almost looked like Jamils body was melting off of him in a grotesque manner.
Kalim closed his eyes and prayed.
Eventual, the distortion completely went away, so the screams and the sobs seemed less monstrous and more tortured. Jamils attacks completely stopped as well.
And with one final bang, so did yours.
When Kalim opened his eyes again, I was only after jade prayed his hands off his ears, something he doesn't even remember doing.
Azul and yuu were standing over jamils blood covered body, and for a second, he feared the worst.
It was only after you kneeled to check if he was still alive, and he saw Jamil moving did he allow himself to breathe, and to finally cry.
Through blurred vision, he saw you put the gun away. He never asked what it was. He didn't need to know. You saved Jamils life with it, and that was good enough for him.
Rook:
Rook enjoyed beanfeast. Honestly, he could say it was one of his favorite days of the year. What other time? What other opportunities would he get but this? To hunt his fellow classmates for sport like this? To see their determination wither away as they accepted their fates as his prey!
Now, normally rook would go solo on this. Others found it a bit hard to keep up with him until now. Until yuu.
Ah his dear little trickster and his admirable kill or be killed mentality that he had taken up as of late! My, when rook had looked into his eyes, he saw nothing less than the eyes of a killer! A tiger on the hunt!
Or perhaps, he mused, a lion. Because there, right underneath them, was leona kingscholar himself.
Yuu has proposed they move from above, to stay in the wooded area and maintain the high grounds. Yuu had made his way up a tree with the swiftness and elegance of a bird taking flight! Walking steadily along the branches like he was simply made for it.
Together, the two of you had taken out quite a few farmers. With rook silently stalking them and you communicating your predictions with hand signals that he could understand blind. Those predictions of what the farmers would do, or even who would be in the area were proven true to an uncanny extent.
Rook wanted to know how, but that conversation could be saved for a different day.
Rook could barely see you chest rising up and down as you breathed so slowly you might as well haven't have been. He himself was holding his breath as you both angled your bean blasters. The slightest noise could tip the beastman off, after all.
You had temporarily split off to different trees, him being about a dozen meters away from you, just to the left of Leona, while we're were to the right.
He saw you hand slowly raise up, carefully avoiding the rustling leaves as you gave another hand signal. Thos one being significantly more simple than the majority. Just three fingers raised to indicate three seconds. Three seconds and you both shoot. You closed you hand, starting the timer.
Three.
The two of you, perfectly in sync, found your final aims of the beastman.
Two.
You carefully placed your fingers on the trigger. Taking caution not to shoot too early. The last thing would want to do was ruin this seemingly special moment for the two of you.
The wind blew in you direction. Thre leaves began to rustle, and leonas head shot in your direction.
Three.
You both pulled your triggered in perfect harmony, and, like a beautiful dance coming to an end, the mighty lion had fallen. And you both ran across the tree branches, making your ways to eachother as soon as possible.
The happy, adrenaline filled giggle you let out when he finally found found you again was nothing less than precious. Not to mention it fit the moment. Oh how he wishes you would stop trying to compose yourself all the time! The world deserves to see your joy!
He let out a laugh of his own, being rewarded with a smile that you couldn't help. This imagine of you in perfect juxtaposition with how you looked upon first arrival to this world.
And, if he may, rook would like to say that your face was shaping up to be something he wouldn't mind staring at. Ah, recovery was a marvelous thing indeed! He couldn't wait to see your progress by the end if the year.
When the laughter subsided, you took you hand and laid a gentle kiss to the back of your fingers, as a small congregation and a job well done.
"Yes, very nice monsieur. That was very nice indeed", his soft voice suddenly taking on a more mischievous note to it, a not that you matched with those shinning eyes of yours. "Now, I belive we have more game to secure, yes? Let us be off, my dear trickster"
You smiled, the corners of your mouth moving into a smirk. Your eyes, however, he'll the glee of a giddy boy, finally getting to experience something he was robbed of long ago. Rook only hoped that much later in your life, when you think of how many shots you've ever fired, this day will be included.
So smile, dear trickster, that all he asks. That's all you deserve.

TWST OC INTRODUCTION - TCOAV
Joel Bullion - Makings of Greatness
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Name: Joel Bullion
Nicknames: Buzzbait, Thistle
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/they
Sexuality: Aromantic Asexual
Birthday: November 30 (Sagittarius)
Age: 39 (In canon and AU)
Height: 6'2 or 188cm
Voice Claim(s): Jellzybelle
Tumblr media
Twisted from: John Silver from Treasure Planet.
Unique Magic: "Rattle the Stars" Summons exactly that in the palm of Joel's robotic hand: a star. However, this is not just any star, this star's life flashes before your eyes, resulting in a controlled supernova. It creates a burning hot flash bang, with tremors forming cracks in the ground depending on the magnitude of the star itself. The explosion knocks enemies away from Joel. The size of the star dictates how much magic they will use, as well as how much blot he will accumulate. He is unsure what the maximum size of a star he can create is, but he does know that he has gotten dangerously close to overblotting while trying. In his current state, the blast is not deadly and primarily works to stun opponents or, at most, render them unconscious.
Grade: Teaches Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors
Class: Teaches Culinary Crucible, Astrology, and Tech. Occasionally aids with Physical Education.
Hobbies: Treasure hunting, finding constellations, hiking, traveling, spelunking, deadlifting, cooking.
Likes: Pernil, old school tech, adventure novels, hard cash, or anything he can sell for gold really, pranking Ezra and Crowley, telescopes, planetary science, zodiac signs.
Dislikes: Grading (this man should not be a teacher), any dish with fish in it, sticklers, staying still, overt formality, the cold, humorless individuals.
Fears: Immobility, optometric illnesses, not amounting to anything, not living his life to the fullest, birds.
Summary: "Why does he even teach?" is a question that crosses the mind of almost every NRC student in one of Joel's classes. He's shameless, sarcastic, and finds entertainment in messing with students and staff alike. Teaching is only a side job for him, his real passions lie elsewhere. Nonetheless, he is highly skilled in a variety of subjects, making him indispensable.
He abuses that privilege, of course, taking the time to have as much fun as he can in what he calls a boring dump of a school and make sure everyone around him suffers for it. Though this usually just amounts to light teasing and pranks. They do not behave like an educator or mentor. He does not typically enjoy interacting with most of his students in a serious manner, and the ones they do enjoy talking with are treated more like casual, distant friends.
With the responsibility of teaching so many subjects heavy on their shoulders, he does make plenty of time to shrug it off to work on his true dream: getting as rich as possible. Now, now, there are plenty of figures at NRC who want that, yeah? But Joel wants the lottery. He wants to struggle, look high and low, and come out above everyone with something ancient, shiny, and, hopefully, covered in expensive jewels. Over everything and everyone, they enjoy the hunt of it. To the point where he values it above people and relationships. Hell, they'd fly to the moon to get it if they had to.

Outfit Inspiration
Author's Notes: JOEL. Ahhh Joel. I'll admit, this was harder to write compared to the others! Everyone else's development, personality, struggles, etc. came very naturally to me, while, with joel, I really had to sit and brainstorm for awhile. Though, I can now say that he has grown on me a lot, and I plan on giving him more of a role in TCOAV like Ezra! I have lots of plans for him! Old ass man <33 (affectionate, /j) this will probably be the last new TCOAV oc for a while! But just know, there will be more >:)

Short Translation from Twst the 2nd novel: Meeting Malleus (pt1)
"‘Who's there?’
‘Ah—‘ 
Suddenly, a voice from the darkness. 
Startled, Yuuya tries to stand, but merely falls onto his backside. 
‘Ow…’ Yuuya winces in pain, and he hears the voice again.
‘You do not seem to be a ghost. Are you a child of man?’
Yuuya tries to locate the source of the voice with the aid of the dimly lit gate lamp, but he sees no one.
It seems to be coming from farther down the stairs. 
‘What are you doing here?,’ asks the darkness.
It is a low, deep, beautiful male voice. While the tone is not kind, Yuuya finds it strangely soothing.
Almost unconsciously, Yuuya responds, ‘I couldn't sleep, so I came outside for a bit.’
‘Outside? So you are living here.’ For a moment, the voice falls silent.
‘This building has been in ruins for a long time—or so it should have been. I've been rather fond of it as a place where I can be alone, in peace. I see...someone has arrived.’
The last words he murmurs sound a little lonely. Despite how he can only assume that the owner of the voice cannot see him, Yuuya lowers his head slightly as he speaks. ‘Yes, I live in this dorm now. My name is Kuroki Yuuya.’
‘Yuuya…ah, you must be Yuu, then.’
‘You know who I am?’ In the same moment that Yuuya asks this, he realizes that it is not so unusual. There must be very few people at the school who have not heard of him and Grim by now.
Instead, he asks about the voice. ‘Who are you? A student? Or maybe a teacher?’
No response. Was it a rude thing to ask? 
His surroundings are still dark. Yuuya still cannot see with whom he speaks, which makes him anxious. ‘I’m sorry, it’s just so dark that I can’t see…’
A creaking sound tickles his eardrums. It is the rusty gate being opened.
Yuuya hears the distinct sound of footsteps on the short staircase, and just a few steps ahead of him something seems to move, partially obscuring the dim gate light. 
Yuuya strains his eyes desperately to see, just as a cloud passing before the moon causes the area to brighten, only slightly.
Standing halfway up the staircase is a man. He wears the Night Raven College school uniform.  As Yuuya had suspected, it is indeed a student. 
The jet-black hair that rests against the nape of his neck is all the more noticeable in the dim light, darker than even the night itself.
And there are horns upon his head, just as dark.
Yuuya stares at them. They compliment the man's well-shaped head, forming an elegant curve. And they are surprisingly large. 
Yuuya lowers his gaze to find that the man is looking back at him just as intently."

official twst light novel in english!!
Tumblr media
LET’S GOOOOOO 😭
The Twisted Wonderland light novel is being localized!! The first volume will be available to the public starting on the 27th of August 2024 according to this Barnes and Noble listing.
The price is around 18 USD (tax not included) and the book itself is about 400 pages.
ADDENDUM: the link no longer works; my guess is that maybe a B&N employee made a mistake (?) and listed the preorders too soon so they had to take it down. However, I can confirm that I have seen the listing for myself, that the English light novel does exist, and that the (tentative) date in this post is correct. Here is a screenshot of it from when it was still up:
Tumblr media
SECOND ADDENDUM: VizMedia has made an official blog post confirming that the Twisted Wonderland light novel is coming to us in summer of 2024.

TWST Kink Headcanons: Octavinelle Edition
Minors/ageless blogs DNI; all characters are 18+ for these scenarios
Each character is given a short write-up of one of their main kinks, as well as a list of other kinks they may like (with a little more info added in some cases), and a list of things they would dislike.
Warnings: Smut, discussion/mention of multiple kinks of different varieties, including those related to D/s dynamics, bondage, feeding, etc.
<——« Savanaclaw
Tumblr media
Azul: Voice kink
It doesn't really matter what your voice sounds like, Azul will absolutely melt simply by hearing your voice (or vocalizations) in the right context. Whether your voice is deep and gravelly, high and light, smooth, lilting, nasally, brassy, breathy, or any other colour / timbre, he will love it. And should you want to make Azul's hearts really race, just adding the slightest layer of a seductive tone to your speech will definitely do the trick.  It's also a good idea to talk to him - at length - while you're intimate with him. Hearing your voice will in equal parts calm him down, get him out of his head and into the moment, and make him very turned-on, especially if you add in even a little bit of dirty talk. Tell him what you want to do to him, or want him to do to you. Let him hear what you feel. And if a few little moans, or sighs, or whimpers happen to make appearances between your words, his arousal will simply go into overdrive. 
Other possible kinks: 
Submission
Domination (sometimes - like Riddle, he's a sub-leaning switch)
Bondage 
Cockwarming?
Lingerie
Dislikes: 
Degradation
Humiliation
Exhibitionism
Mirror sex
Tumblr media
Jade: Shibari (and other types of bondage)
Jade appreciates so many things about the art of shibari. The trust, the power, the creativity, and the interplay, with you and him doing a sort of dance, are all things he would find appealing. He would love moulding your body into beautiful shapes ornamented and restrained with ropes (or perhaps ribbons, with the less restrictive binds) and watching your reactions during the entire process. And he loves the controlled unpredictability of it all. Each tie is never the exact same twice - changing even the littlest things, from the speed, to the tension of the rope, results in a completely novel experience each time. That is one of Jade’s favourite parts of shibari. Jade is also a patient man. He takes his time. And he will definitely want to do many, many different ties each and every session. Jade also makes sure things are absolutely perfect, in every aspect - he will have learned and practised the knots and ties before even considering bringing up the idea to you. Each session, he will have an entire routine planned out, his hands moving you smoothly from one position to the next, knotting then undoing the ropes over your body, likely for hours. But don't worry, he will make sure to take care of all your desires as well, you only need to ask him to. Jade will keep you waiting in anticipation, but he will never leave you unsatisfied.
Other possible kinks: 
Stuffing (mostly receiving)
Sadomasochism (he’s more of a sadist than a masochist, though)
Orgasm control
Marking
Dacryphilia
Dislikes: 
Exhibitionism?
Submission (most of the time)
Tumblr media
Floyd: Sensation play
Floyd's kinks often shift and change, so you can be certain you'd never simply fall into a routine with him. He's always wanting to try something new, being a bit of an experimentalist at heart, but one thing that stays consistent in one form or another is his love of sensation play. Everything from gentle massages, to the sting of a paddle, to playing different genres of music, to feeding each other different combinations of flavours, to even using various types of lighting, Floyd has so much fun playing with his (and your) senses. Sometimes, the sensations get almost overwhelming, but often, that’s exactly what Floyd needs.  However, despite liking most types of sensation play, his absolute favourite thing is playing with temperatures. And while the heat of things like dripping wax is something that Floyd really, really enjoys, his preference is definitely the cold. He almost always loves the sensation of ice gliding over his warm skin, leaving a trail of goosebumps over his body, and making him shiver as the water slowly evaporates (and he'd adore the feeling of a chilled glass toy cooling him from the inside out, too ♥︎). The cold feels both exciting and comforting to him, and is something that - to Floyd - just overall feels good. 
Other possible kinks: 
Exhibitionism
Feedism
Marking
Sadomasochism (he’s a little bit more of a masochist than a sadist)
Sounding
Lactation
Wax play
Dislikes: 
Bondage (being restrained, specifically)
Other than that, he’s pretty open to trying most things, though he may or may not like them at different times
Tumblr media
And with that, my headcanons for the Octavinelle boys' kinks are complete! These three are some of my favourites, and I really had a good time putting this together. It took a bit longer to get out than I thought, but I hope you enjoyed reading through my ideas ^v^
If you have any additional thoughts or opinions on these headcanons, I'd love to hear them!

so you guys know in ddlc that there's this one scene where monika forces the player's mouse to move down to choose her? yes that. BUT MAKE IT TWST AND SELF AWARE!!! (meaning the game didn't code Malleus/Monika to do it)
Leona as Natsuki, Azul as Yuri, and of course Malleus as Monika.
warning: Horror themes since its inspired by ddlc
...
You've been playing a visual novel for about 4 hours now.
you can't help it it was just so enticing, the characters, the plot, the artstyle and pacing. its so good
Choices aren't that much special to this game as you heard there's only one ending but the cgi's are completely different between route of choices. its no matter to you though, you save a choosing point and then after reading that route you'll reload again to read the other
as much as you knew some people do this recklessly to just see the CGIs, you on the other hand is wisely thinking of whom you'd choose first to see their scenario and then second, and then third, so on. as if you consider their actual feelings
it felt like it isn't any of your typical visual novel, you feel as if the characters are actually talking to you behind the screen and actually cares about the real you, especially that one specific character.
his name is Malleus
He's one of the mysterious type of character, he plays the violin, he likes ice creams and apparently dragon statues. you choose him first everytime you come across a choice event and practically you always see his special events and scenarios too
but sometimes you can't help but feel it
you are alone in your room but you can't help... feel the feeling of being watched. something whispering. something's or someone's presence together with you in the room
and whenever you'd look behind your back to see no one is there then turn back to your computer, you'd see an enlarged Malleus up to your screen staring with those with light yet emotionless smile and eyes
you could be imagining it. but when you checked the reviews for the game it doesn't say anything about Malleus popping up like that, yes some bugs about the game dialogue or settings but it doesn't relate to what you're experiencing.
your headphones was still in your ears so it definitely surprised you when the bright music stopped and the dialogue sfx chimes in
Malleus:
"What are you looking at?"
well that scared you, you must've clicked a button to proceed the dialogue.
Malleus backed away but it still nerved you when the music stopped altogether. it felt creepy
you close your phone and decided maybe it was just all your imagination or the game being buggy, you would say this in the review later so the devs could fix it
you return to your game and proceed with the dialogue smoothly, the current situation was a festival apparently and the main character of the game was supposed to be one of the managers of it
Azul:
"surely I'm the most fitting to help ____ to this festival, I'm the most efficient here."
you click.
Leona:
"Didn't i say I'll do it? won't that be a convenient for you Octopus?"
You click again but with a chuckle this time
"what a lovely sound"
Huh? what was that? did you just hear someone speak?
you rewind the game to Azul's dialogue again, you must've missed an voiceline easter egg...
you didn't.
you rewind it over and over again but there's no voiceline or anything. huh must've been just a one time thing
wait, there shouldn't be any voiceline in this game... there shouldn't be, it didn't come with a voice sound setting after all.
okay this is really weird.
you sigh, clicking the dialogue bubble again. you'll need a meal, a bath and sleep after this, you must've been really tired that you are hearing things and seeing things
Azul:
"Just let ____ make the choice okay?"
click
Malleus:
"Okay, fine... Fine."
click
Azul:
"Jeez... ____, i know how fed up you are with these two by now. we can jus-"
click
Leona:
"Azul, shut your fucking mouth and let them decide for themselves"
cli- wait hold on woah, did you just read that right? this game isn't supposed to be having strong languages, you were sure you checked the labels alright so why...? maybe it's part of the coded dialogue? you can't blame the devs adding some spice isn't so bad either
Azul:
"You shut you mouth!"
click
Malleus:
"Oh great seven, this is never going to end. just make the choice okay?"
the choice buttons shows up tallying from Azul next to Leona and then Malleus. you think about it carefully and as you think you might be showing a lot of favoritism towards Malleus, maybe its time for a little bit of change no worries though you'll save it and load for la-
huh?
that's weird
why can't you click the save and load button? you repeat your excessive clicking for a whole 2 minutes but you can't get to click the save button at all
was this game really buggy?
frustrated, you decide in your head to choose whoever except Malleus for a change but when you were about to pick Azul.
the mouse
it's....
moving...
....itself.
towards Malleus
what...? how is this possible? yeah your actual literal mouse within you isn't moving but the mouse on the screen is
is this supposed to be part of the game? no... this isn't... you have to check you have to
competent, you move the mouse again to pick but it kept moving down in its onw accord, you struggle to move it up after few tries but with timing you click on Leona with swiftness
a pair of green irises appeared on a white screen, familiar ones. the same eyes that looked to you earlier, a little too close for your liking.
a eerie silence waft around you, and the whirring of the computer can be the only thing heard outside of your headphones
you shake with fear, you gulp the tense in your throat, your eyes hurt with dryness not daring to take your eyes off the green eyes staring right at you and to see if this is real, you don't know what to do or what to believe.
you tried clicking your exit button more times than you can count but it wont exit the game, the cord connecting from the computer isn't far but you fear that even if you move a little or look away for a second, someone or something would jump out of the screen to god who knows what it'd to you
courage or curiosity, whatever it is, it made you click the blank white screen with floating irises to at least something would happen to just make this all stop.
an eerie endless dialogue sfx was blasted into your ears as a multiple choice boxes of the name "Malleus" appeared in your screen
???:
"Wxkabdbealem!?(19_++_;4)0#?$;(akwjrbeboxibrbrwoOAiebevtbwkwksokw@910-~¢jsjsjwb@+2;2-akejjrrrneejrwownrbtlwalalxndndebwkwowowoqpeh=`=¢¶%¶kwkwpqowhsbebejwWxkabdbealem!?(19_++_;4)0#?$;(akwjrbeboxibrbrwoOAiebevtbwkwksokw@910-~¢jsjsjwb@+2;2"
your ears felt like bleeding and nausea came over to you, you feel like throwing up right there and then, pass out, die. anything to make it stop
with a strained shaky hand you click Malleus as the screen turned back to the game normally again as if nothing happened
Malleus:
"Im happy you picked me."
sweat drips from your temples as you exit the game and pull the plug of the cord and stepped back from the monitor not even bothering to save the game or your discarded headphones
you try to steady your breath few times to calm down the loud thumping of your heart from horror and shock, you sat up to your bed trying to wipe off the nervousness off of you before standing up and sprinting off the door.
maybe you didn't thoroughly checked your game settings or code files, or maybe you did, you just didn't paid that much attention to it
you pulled the plug at him, stepped back with horror and ran away not even bothering to save the game or take a listen at your discarded headphones
the headphones played the same bright music from earlier.
Auto Saving....
Saving Complete!
Tip: This game loads where you left at.
•••
AN: this was out of the sudden burst of inspiration btw. (i mean none of my fics aren't lol) But hope ya enjoyed it, i rlly loved DDLC, i did copy some of the dialogues i hope its okay since i have no idea what to make them say lol but DDLC stays original for me.

So I started reading the TWST light novel for the first time and wtf 😭 ITS SO GOOD?!? Yuuya is my son now, and tbh I’m gonna be really sad if there’s a new Yuu in the Savanaclaw novel. It’s really amazing how different mediums show worldbuilding in different ways. The game, manga, and novel show so many facets of the TWST world, so much so that it would be nearly impossible to compile all the lore into one single medium, so I really appreciate all of the perspectives.
Ace was such a sweetheart?!? Like he was even more ruthless towards Yuu than usual, but I really loved the scene in Ramshackle where he apologized. I think the in game prologue and Book 1 is at a decent length, because you wouldn’t want to bore newcomers or anything. But that scene was so sweet that I wished it was in the game too! The ghosts are such sweethearts too, and the fact they made the bed for Yuuya is ahhh!!!
The way Leona was introduce felt a lot more natural too, and I hope the novel for the Savanaclaw chapter will…tweak some things? Or at least add some scenes to showcase Leona more.
BUT CROWLEY AHXBSVAVZVW. I think Yuuya’s emotional vulnerability really allows us to delve deep into a character’s personality and actions, and Crowley is just as mysterious as ever. But I adore how the Whip of Love is described and how Crowley actually has a cane to he uses for dramatic effect haha. I find it so fascinating how Crowley is described by Yuu to look very sad and melancholic. Sad birb hour… but Crowley came off as a lot more affectionate and dad-like in the novel, it’s so sweet 😭 Can’t wait for the utter betrayal and carelessness later 😃 I kid…but the way Yuu grabbed onto Crowley several times when nearly falling was such a nice detail. Again, the game is phenomenal, but it’s very limited in terms of how exactly the characters interact with each other.
There’s just so many miscellaneous things that I’m loving so far 💖 It’s so cool how TWST has been expanding to so many different mediums (fingers crossed for the anime one day!), because not many popular games have the ability to do that, and it seems like TWST is making the most of it. It’s so amazing!!

Uh uh-- request time?? So like, I'm thinking about how how the twst world has different language yeah?? (Rook being French and Vil having a """""German""""" lastname and all)
Okok what if, if the player/mc in the self aware au (already in their world) tried to teach some like the basically of their language?? Like English is not their first language and wanna just, share their culture and language specifically,, with uh, riddle, malleus and azul,, (no i don't have favs-) like would they try to learn, not care (idk how likely that is in the self aware au but yeah) or something else? I wann know pleas 🥺
Btw hope you're doing well Veil!! Love all the work you've done so far, hope everything is well n goes well :D have this lil fanart hihi
Tumblr media
AAIJNAUSHUSUHSUHN HOW CUTE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Btw, in the light novel it is mentioned that Yuu notices that he isn't speaking Japanese and he was saying “Japan” in (I guess English) but he noticed that his lips didn't match what he was thinking so I also don't think that English is something over there so... English readers get your fill as well.
Tumblr media
Self-aware au
I do not take any responsibility for you reading this no matter which age group you are from!
WARNINGS: Yandere themes, obsession, killing, murder, religion, blood, violence, possessiveness, kidnapping, imprisonment
Riddle Rosehearts/Azul Ashengrotto/Malleus Draconia-Player tries to share their culture and language
Tumblr media
Oh aren't you kind?
First of all, he is flattered
Even though the Queendom of roses sees you more as an uncrowned and invisible ruler they are still more than aware that some places see you as all-knowing
And since even the smallest rumor has at least a spark of truth in it he assumes that your knowledge is at least somewhat higher than that of the average person
Now imagine having such a person as your teacher... AND THEY EVEN TALK ABOUT THEIR CULTURE!!! YAAAYYY (RUN!!!)
I mean, that language thingy, go ahead but the culture one? Uh... how about no
The thing is, if you tell him too much about how you lived, the culture you grew up with included, he might see himself as more important in your life than he actually is
But hey, who can resist such an eager student with those puppy... no that's wrong in his case, hedgehog eyes?
Also, there are at least some languages existing in their world which also exist in ours (as far as we know), for example “French” and “German” (now everyone who speaks one of them at least partially: Yeah... suuurrreee.... totally correct what is beings said there....)
I believe that if you speak another one that isn't already there it will take longer for him to learn these since languages can differ so much from each other and if he hadn't even heard a single word in it... Yeah... (I mean, compare some languages and you see that their sentence structure are completely different)
But I also think that his mother force-fed him some foreign languages as well so maybe he already speaks German or French? The world will never know...
Doesn't mean he doesn't want to hear about your culture
I would highly advise you not to teach anybody else
Suddenly it's “Off with their head!”. On good days only the magic version and on bad ones the version in which you need something a little sharper and bigger than a needle
Also that “him thinking that he is more important than everyone in your life” thingy if you tell him too much about your culture? Well uh...
I heard the Shaftlands are big and can hide a lot of people if they just want to... otherwise I have to tell you that you might have to take up residence in his room for the rest of your existence. Enjoy!
Tumblr media
*sucks air in* SIMP
No joke, you are known to be a scholar in his home so now you are deciding to teach him?
*squealing octopus noises*
There is a fairly higher chance he might already speak your language than Riddle since, well, he is a greedy businessman if we are being honest AND NO LANGUAGE BARRIER SHALL STAND IN HIS WAY!!!
But expect him to sit there at his desk, practically burning holes into you with his stare whilst you teach him
(Is he even blinking?)
I mean, how did you expect him to react? You better be joking if your answer was “he isn't interested”
You, my dear Overseer, are just so dashing alone in your legends and tales that my man over here just wanted to be somewhat worthy with his intellect of your attention
And even if it was just a glance then that shall it be!
Wow, look at that, one day you were just there chatting to him which led to you telling more about your culture whilst talking in your language if it's one he understands
Now those that you also seemed worthy enough to teach them about your origins and language? Those contracts can be tricky is all I'm saying
Or he just loses it and who else remembers that one time Floyd said that Octopuses are a high chunk of muscles? Mhm, that read splash on the wall a former person... wow, he liquified everything... HOW STRONG IS THAT GUY??!
Or this becomes very unhealthy for him
We all know that he puts at least some self-esteem onto his appearance and lifestyle so once that esteem isn't so high anymore it's time for some... unhealthy habits
I'm not going into detail but let's just say that there is a certain amount to what you can push your body, octopus or not
So please only teach him! After all, if you do he might just think everything was for naught and just decides to be a bit “much”
Tumblr media
He probably speaks every single one existing in his world, including some ancient ones not spoken anymore n this day and age
But hey, his God is about to teach him something so you might as well have ordered him to while his memoriess because it's like everything you say is new to him
Also, his tail is going wild like a dog on who just saw his owner return after a long day
So... Yeah
(But this is the Self-aware au so of course things aren't just sunshine and flowers)
Remember that tail? He might have his hands full during the time he meets someone who decided to have the audacity and “make you” teach them as well but I think that thing could crush at least five melons at once
So uh... Yay... Red smoothie... Do not drink. 0 out of 10. Would not recommend
Also, who would he be if he hadn't two at least 50% humans who had been taught since childhood on how to use those sharp toothpicks and a fae who is a master at using said toothpicks?
“Silver, get the sharpest ones out!”-The toothpick master of Diasomnia
But how wise you are! Not only do you speak more than just one but also come from a completely different background
Also, are definitely probably frantically sending letters to the Valley of Thorns about everything you tell them so that the Church can document every single bit of information
But let us return to Malleus
Unless you tell him to tell you more about his home he will listen quietly, only asking a question if he doesn't understand something right away
Will try his best to follow the customs of your culture so you feel comfortable around him
Also, if he didn't know the language before, *gasp* I know, then he will also be the fastest one to learn it (I'm blaming devotion and fae genes for this)
But please, feel like you are at home around him. So at home in fact that you don't even notice he is right now taking you to the Valley so that you are never able to leave him. Forgive his greed but he just couldn't bear the thought of you reaching out for a place that isn't by his side

Jamil x male reader please. But with a language barrier, the language that the reader speaks is one that's very common in our world (like Spanish or something idk) but doesn't exist in twisted wonderland. So readers just been coasting by on his very limited Japanese/English until now.
Maybe they're cooking together (alien recipes, which is actually just Guatemalan or columbian food but to jamil its alien food) and then reader just starts flirting with him in Spanish and its just????? What????
A/N: Hello! I normally write for gn! reader, so that's what I went with- I hope that's alright <3. I also don't speak much Spanish so some of the phrases might be wrong since I used google! I love this concept, though!!! I wish TWST would expand on the use of language in their universe (I know in the novel there's a translation spell where everyone on campus can understand each other, but what about Yuu/mc? Either way this is a fun idea to play with! I also use "Commonspeak" for English/Japanese since England/Japan doesn't exist for them and it seems to be a common language for them!
Jamil wasn't quite sure how he'd ended up in this situation- cooking dinner with his friend on a Friday night, with the rest of his dorm fast asleep. Moonlight shone in brightly through the open window, illuminating the kitchen that was dark aside from the light above the stove shining down on the sizzling frying pan and the ingredients splayed out along the cold countertops. Truthfully, he was certain that his small crush on the prefect wouldn't go very far, especially since they could barely understand each other past a few words.
When he'd first met them, he instantly realized their struggle- unable to tell Ace off for doing something and having to focus harder on their conversations to even pick up on the smallest hints. Not to mention the variety in accents throughout the whole school; He could have sworn that they were going to have a meltdown when the Octavinelle trio started speaking to them and they learned that mer add clicks and chirps to most words. Truthfully, he'd felt a stab of pity for them and their limited understanding of Commonspeak.
Nevertheless, he still had a job to do. He felt as though he didn't have time to aid some otherworldly student. They had friends who were already helping them, he'd believed.
So why, why were they shaking him awake with that petrified look in their eyes? Covered in blot and sand that clung to their clothing and hair, sweat and tears combined on their skin as he faded in and out of consciousness, barely able to make out their shouts of half-Commonspeak half-alien language.
What he could understand was the pain in their voice, how their tears slipped past their eyelids and dripped onto his dusty and still partially blotted skin, how, no matter how much pain they were in due to the snakes that were latching onto their skin, they never let him go. He'd believed that everyone would be comforting Kalim- so why were they at his side now?
If you asked Jamil, he would, after lots of denials and snarky remarks, tell you that was when he fell for them first.
Now here he was, in the empty kitchen of his dorm, silent aside from the occasional clinking of dishes against the counter and the sizzling of whatever alien dish they'd decided to cook with him tonight. He wasn't sure what to do- he'd seen dishes similar to what they were making, but he didn't know exactly what they were making, so he felt as though he couldn't help much aside from cleaning the area they were cooking in. Fragrant aromas filled the room, and a selfish part of Jamil prayed that nobody else in the dorm could smell it so he could have a little bit more time to keep the prefect to himself.
"What is this, again?" He didn't mean to break the silence, speaking slowly enough for them to understand without becoming too distracted.
"It's chicharron colombiano y arepas con queso," He hums, finishing up the dishes and piling them onto the drying rack, turning away from the sink and leaning against the counter, watching their deft hands as they keep adding to the plate beside the stove.
"That's a lot of food," He comments offhandedly, mentally slapping himself for sounding so unenthusiastic. He shakes off the pit in his stomach as they begin to speak slowly.
"You didn't eat," Jamil pouts as they lift their head to meet his eyes. They look at him with so much concern and affection that he finds it hard to tear his gaze from their own, despite the uncomfortable fluttering of the butterflies in his stomach and the way his sweatshirt suddenly became too hot despite the chill that hung around Scarabia.
"You eat too, then," He argues. "I can't finish it all on my own."
They hum and nod. "I will, bonito."
"Bonito?" He questions, leaning in closer as he watches their shoulders stiffen and their movements pause for a moment.
"Eres bonito," They repeat, suddenly hyper-focused on the food in front of them rather than the man standing just to their right. He tilts his head.
"Que?" Jamil notices how they jolt and their head whips to him and feels a surge of pride course through his veins- he wanted to wait until he knew a little bit more of their language before he surprised them, but he supposed now was a good enough time. Besides, seeing how their face flushed and they attempted to hide in on themselves was more than enough of a reward. Despite his best efforts, there was no dictionary for their language, so learning it was a constant struggle for the man (who felt too embarrassed to ask them to teach him, especially not with how scattered his focus was whenever the two were alone. He was glad that he remembered that word now).
"Donde aprendise aso?" They ask him, voice climbing an octave. He chuckles, glad to have the upper hand in this situation for once.
"Tu," He, as suavely as he could with how badly he felt his hands were shaking from the nerves, takes the spatula from their hands and goes to flip the meat inside the pan. Was he saying it right? Were they looking at him out of the shock of his knowledge, or because he was mispronouncing something?
He turns to notice their pout before they mutter something under their breath, slowly plating the rest of the food and turning the stovetop off.
"Hm? What was that?" He tries to hide the teasing grin on his face and stifles the chuckle that bubbled up his throat at the shock that was plastered across their face. "Eat up before it gets cold."
"Es por eso que te amo," They smile up at him innocently before taking a bite of food, chewing slowly. Jamil raises an eyebrow and goes to his own plate, eating in silence. The flavors melt against his tongue and he feels the way the love poured into the meal seems to seep into his heart as well, the domesticity of the moment being something he wanted to savor just as much as the meal. After a little bit, both of them lean back against the counter, their plates cleared.
Jamil grabs the dishes first, shaking his head when they offer to help him clean them off.
"You cooked. I'll clean," He states simply, going back to the sink. Despite his best wishes, and his attempts to clean as slowly as possible, they're called back to Ramshackle. Jamil tries to hide his disappointment and the way the room suddenly seemed to get colder as they pack their things.
"Gracias," He says to them, walking with them back to the meal. The soft, shy smile on their face as they turn to him is more than enough to hold over his heart until the next time they were to meet.
"De nada," They chirp, turning to step back through the mirror.
"Tab masawuk, habibi," He ducks his head, hoping that the darkness could conceal his blush from them until they were to leave. They stare at him, confusion written on their face as their eyebrows furrowed and their head tilted ever so slightly. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," They beam, disappearing through the mirror. Jamil sighs happily, staring longingly at the spot where they once stood before turning and practically skipping back to his room, mind racing as he replays the night in his head over and over again.

Gonna talk about ADeuce and my Yuu underneath the cut
So y'all know how I once said in a fic A/N that I couldn't really see my Yuu ending up with any of the first years except for possibly Jack or Sebek?
Well, since writing for Twst Halloween, I've been thinking more about the ADeuYuu dynamic, which is making me reconsider what I had first said.
Up until that point, because of my Jack & Sebek bias, I hadn't really been giving a lot of thought to ADeuce, even though I love them and their relationship with Yuu. There's just no competing my love for Jack and Sebek lol 😂
But, despite my strong bias, I have been thinking more about ADeuce as of late, and I've come to a realization:
There are probably no boys that are more smitten with Yuu than Ace and Deuce lol
Like, I'm not saying they're in love with her, but at the same time, I'm not saying they're not in love with her either.
The more time I spend thinking about them and writing scenes with them, I'm just like, "Damn, these two are crazy about Yuu." lol 😂
It makes sense though, especially in Ace's case, since there's plenty of game content that supports his attachment to Yuu. Hell, the newest Halloween event is like a AceYuu date at one point lol
In the case of my Yuu, Ace wasn't too fond of her at first cause it pissed him off that this magicless kid got involved in the entrance ceremony and is allowed on campus despite how hard he worked to get into the school. (Which is apparently how he feels about Yuu according to what I've seen of the first light novel.)
However, after the incident at the Dwarfs' Mine, Ace becomes more interested in her since there's clearly more than meets the eye to her, although there was some reluctancy on his end cause of what happened with his ex-girlfriend which had made him originally plan on avoiding dealing with girls so he could just hang out with guy friends instead.
His curiosity won out in the end, though, cause it bugged him that he couldn't get a good, solid read on Yuu.
Plus, Yuu, albeit somewhat reluctantly, agrees to help Ace with the situation with Riddle that happens soon after the Prologue, so the events of Book 1 lead to him warming up to her and that's why he gets angry enough to punch Riddle on her behalf like what happens in canon.
If asked about his relationship with Yuu and the others, Ace would make the excuse that Yuu and the others are always following him around, and he's got no other choice but to put up with them since they're all in the same class, but that's a total lie lol
Ace, like Deuce, sticks with Yuu because he wants to. At first, it was to satisfy his curiosity about her, but it didn't take long for the main reason to be because he got genuinely attached to her.
He likes that it's never boring with Yuu and that she can give as good as she gets whenever he messes with her. He loves getting her riled up.
But rather than just cause he finds her reactions funny, it's mostly cause he likes having her undivided attention.
Ace was totally the kid that pulled the pigtails of girls that he liked when he was younger lol 😂
While I've said before that Deuce is one of the most overprotective of Yuu's sons, Ace is one of the most possessive, along with Grim lol
That's why Ace will get all sulky/annoyed if Yuu gives too much of her attention to anyone else. He's like a cat in that he'll make sure his displeasure is known and if he wants attention he'll make sure to get it, much to Yuu's exasperation/amusement.
That said, Ace doesn't mind if his time spent with Yuu is shared with Deuce, although Ace doesn't necessarily hate sharing his time with Yuu with her other sons. He's just less likely to complain if it's Deuce who's with them since they're both on the same wavelength when it comes to Yuu.
Moving onto Deuce, he quickly becomes attached to Yuu after he finds out that she also got into a lot of fights in the past and is trying to turn over a new leaf at NRC, like him.
While Ace became smitten with Yuu over time, Deuce got smitten early on since she really won him over when she comforted him during that shopping trip and assured him that his mother would be proud of the man he's becoming. His feelings just got stronger the closer he became to Yuu since she's always so supportive of him.
Deuce has no idea just how smitten he is. He just thinks this is normal for best friends lol
He's the biggest sweetheart when Yuu is concerned. In direct contrast to Ace, Deuce is always trying to be helpful to her since she's always supporting him, and he's pretty much always the first person who jumps to her defense.
Deuce thinks really highly of Yuu cause of how hard she works at school and with her part-time jobs and how she's able to earn the respect of the most powerful students at NRC.
He thinks it's amazing how patient she is with him when they do homework together and admires how smart she is.
Honestly, if any one person is considered a Yuu simp, it's probably Deuce 😂
Of course, Deuce will still get upset with Yuu for being reckless, like what happens at the end of Book 6 when everyone gets back from Styx, cause he cares so much about her and doesn't want anything to happen to her.
But Deuce could never get seriously mad at her and lose his temper cause he'd be worried about scaring her if he went full delinquent mode on her. (He has nothing to worry about. Yuu could never be scared of Deuce.)
The ADeuYuu dynamic is so good since these boys are crazy about Yuu and would drop everything for her, and Yuu equally adores them since these are her best friends, two of the first friends she ever made, and they've been with her since the beginning and have never left her side, which means a lot to a girl who, in the past, was always alone.
So just expect more of that in my writing since, while I still love Jack and Sebek the most, ADeuce have successfully wormed their way into the spotlight, so I intend to make sure to give them more love haha
