Here are my fandorm designs for Royal Sword Academy with three of the badges that I made simple designs for. I would like to think it be plain and simple but still nice! I really tried my best to make these designs stand out and be unique since it is a fancy nice school for heroes!

Sleeping Beauty dorm is called Briarrosette

Little Mermaid dorm is called Aquatarium

Aladdin dorm is called Qamaria

[click to look close! :o]

@2-lines-and-a-circle Sorry for such a late response, I do adore your question~ Hopefully this little visual guide helps!

For both Hamal’s headscarf and shirt, I pulled inspiration from other patterns on Magic Carpet, mainly the center clover design for the shirt and the trim pattern for the headscarf. Because Jamil’s and Kalim’s dorm uniforms really draw inspiration from the flames and Cave of Wonders motifs on the original pattern, I thought it would be more appropriate to focus on some of the smaller pattern details to play more into Hamal and Carpet’s more shy personality aspects.

And then as I was drawing this breakdown, I thought it would be cute if some of the center pattern was used on the sole of his sneakers.

Hopefully this answers your question!

Rainy skies

Notes: Jamil x reader, platonic, friends, magic carpet ride, still new to writing Jamil, letter, fluff, short letter.

Dear friend,

Amidst the freshly poured rain we made our way far into the night. Do you recall the fresh smell of grass and trees soaked from the raindrops? I’ll make sure to remember them even when you have forgotten them.

Still, you never paid attention to any of my warnings about going out. Instead, you pulled me onto that magic carpet to travel all through the night. I hate to admit it, but I can’t say I regret following you.

During our trip I discovered many sights I had never noticed before about NRC. Such as the chestnuts hidden behind the school building or even the unusual events which happen at night. Seeing those first years getting dragged by Floyd was a shocking sight to see. What’s even more shocking was how it appeared Malleus enjoys looking down at the world from the rooftops of the school. It’s no wonder Sebek and Silver always run into troubles when looking for him.

Once we reached the clouds, I was surprised to see the moon so close to us. It felt as if I could reach out to grab hold of it. At that moment I felt free. Free of my duties, free of worries, free from anything that held me responsible. Such a scary feeling. This taste of freedom can drive one mad if not watched closely. However, I know one day I’m going to reach that status of freedom.

Maybe tonight we’ll have the chance to go out once more. I want to feel that same feeling I felt that night with you.

No, on second thought, I don’t think I’ll do so. I shouldn’t get so carried away with such a feeling, I have my duties I must attend to. I have nothing to offer in return in thanks for showing me that wonderful sight. There’s nothing I hold that would balance out what you showed me. Still, I would like to return the favor. Why don’t we meet up after school tomorrow, from there we can find something together.

Till then,

Jamil Viper

Sun-Tinted Glasses (Twst one-shot fanfic)

Summary: “You are trusted. You are followed. You are to stand above, and to stand with others. And if anyone tells you that is naïveté, they are nothing but remiss.”

Character focus: Kalim al-Asim

Word count: 1194

*This fic is also on FF.net, Quotev and Ao3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: Even an angst writer can’t taint the pure cuteness of Kalim’s Union birthday personal story… 🥲 Have some fluff as a gift, everyone! Happy birthday Kalim!

**Spoilers for Kalim Union Birthday story and voice lines**

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Oh hey, Silver! Glad you came!” Kalim jumps up from his seat as his friend approaches.

In a panicking movement, Carpet quickly pulls Kalim back down. The birthday boy is still splattered with cream and Carpet hasn’t finished helping him clean it yet.

Silver briefly scans the amount of work poor Carpet has to do, “I hope fa… Lilia-senpai didn’t go all out.”

“Oh no, it was super fun!”

“That’s good to hear,” Silver remarks in all sincerity as he gives Kalim his present, “It’s nothing special, but I hope you find a use for it.”

“I know I’d love it, thanks!!” Kalim gives a big grin as he sets the present next to him, saving the unwrapping for later (lest he annoys Carpet again). He gestures for Silver to find a seat near to him.

Silver complies, knowing that Kalim would love to chat while not being able to move around and check on every guest at his party. “So, I heard from Lilia-senpai that you would choose Sebek as a little brother.”

“Yeah! You know, Sebek is so straightforward and so serious. He’d let me know if I’m doing anything wrong. Ah, but I could’ve chosen you as a brother too, Silver! I know my younger siblings would love you too, see, my third little brother is……”

Kalim glances at Silver from time to time while he chatters on, and he takes notice of a small smile that sneaks onto Silver’s lips. He curiously states, “Silver? You look very happy.”

“Yes,” Silver nods promptly, “I don’t mean to digress but I’m just glad someone sees Sebek the way I see him. His usual behaviours don’t speak well for him after all.”

“Hmmm true. But he’s a good guy at heart!” Kalim asserts strongly, “When you’re sleeping in the courtyard, I always feel too bad to wake you up, and then we’d almost be late to class. But Sebek would shout and make you wide awake, like, every day! He wouldn’t do that if he doesn’t care.

“Some people would keep quiet about these things. And it’d pile up into a biiiiig mountain, and one day everything’s bound to tumble down. It’s a good thing that Sebek can tell you practically everything.” Kalim concludes, and it’s difficult to tell whether he is consciously shifting his tone to something heavier. Both Carpet and Silver pause, knowing what he implies.

Kalim continues, sighs mixing in with his words, “Like how you fall asleep every now and then, I always go off doing and saying reckless things every now and then. It just won’t do if I’m on my own without someone to knock me on the head.”

“I always think you’re an amazing person, Kalim,” Silver defends, “The way you can easily find other people’s good points and your own room for improvement is not something I’d claim I can do.”

“But Jamil always says I have to be more cautious, while for me, I just don’t believe there’s all that much to be worried about. He says I’m looking through rose-tinted glasses, as in—“

“Oh I wouldn’t call it that~”

An upside down face suddenly drops from the ceiling between the conversing boys. Kalim and Carpet jumps while Silver calmly addressing the intruder, “Lilia-senpai. Please, must you startle Kalim on his birthday?”

“My entrance earlier was far too ordinary for my taste, I must make up for it,” Lilia lands softly on the floor and bounces to pat Kalim on the head, “And he’ll be alright, he’s a resilient child, aren’t you, Kalim?”

“Aha, thanks!”

Lilia claims a seat for himself and continues, swinging a finger in circles in the air, clearly enjoying the topic, “Kalim is a smart and kind child. You are always looking at everyone very closely, aren’t you?”

To believe in someone. To put your life on the line.

To find something to believe in. To find an oasis in a desert.

There are people in this world who wouldn’t try. They’d say they’ve seen too much darkness. They’d go on a journey to flee this desert, to get away, and if they’re lucky enough then they may stumble upon some sort of salvation. Otherwise, they will always be trapped somewhere where they can make excuses for not trying to see, always repeating the same mistakes.

There are people in this world who find their own salvation. They’d try to look close enough, look deep enough. There’s always something they’d manage to find. One drop, one cup, one rainfall, enough to last one lifetime.

These people move forward.

These people grow.

“You see through sun-tinted glasses,” Lilia declares firmly yet gently, “It is quite a unique power you have there. People’s strengths, needs, desires, you’ve observed them well, and you use them in good ways. You are trusted. You are followed. You are to stand above, and to stand with others. And if anyone tells you that is naïveté, they are nothing but remiss. Perhaps they are the ones who haven’t looked close enough.”

Silver glances at his father, he recognises the sort of pride in his father’s complexion and voice. He, too, feels confident as he agrees, “Yes, Kalim. You are loved by your dorm mates, you are a great dorm leader. I’m sure you’ll be just as successful in the future as long as you keep this strength of yours.”

As Carpet also gives Kalim an assuring nudge, Kalim scratches his head bashfully and says, “T-Thanks, you all!” He once again jumps up as Carpet finishes cleaning the pie cream, “Alright! I’m gonna do what I can do now, I’m gonna go look around at my guests! Everyone needs to have a ton of fun at Kalim al-Asim’s birthday party!”

Silver discreetly looks at Lilia, and Lilia happily waves his son to go with his friend. Silver nods politely as he leaves his seat, while Lilia leans cozily on cushions as he watches his son go.

He lets out a breath in a hum. “Quite worrisome to watch over children like them, is it not?” He meant to wonder out loud to himself, but he doesn’t mind seeing the Carpet seem to give it some thought too.

Lilia is glad he tried. Once, one to two decades ago. How lucky he was to have found this much to believe in. To have found a child whose aurora-coloured eyes always look at him and the world he loves with sun-tinted glasses.

He is glad he tried. He is glad he found a life who depends on him, who became the salvation he needed.

After some thought, Carpet seems to share Lilia’s sentiment very strongly, to the extent that it is trying to act out how it worries for its partner with its entire body, from tassel to tassel.

“Kufufu. Well, it certainly doesn’t hurt for them to be a little cautious,” Lilia sighs lightly.

Night will fall. Beyond those sun-tinted glasses are traitors. Traitors who lost to fate. Traitors who don’t fight time.

He would change for the child he loves, if he could. But there are secrets and lies that are too late for him to take back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The End

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A/N: This fic is so unapologetically self-indulgent on soooo many levels that it has almost no point except making me very happy.

I'm so glad I fell down the Twisted Wonderland rabbit hole. It wasn't an otome like I originally thought (yeah my dreams were crushed 😭) but the boys are still pretty and I get excited seeing all the new cards even though I'm not playing the game myself

I'm 10 episodes into the Scarabia dorm and I'm already very invested 😆 I still find Jamil to be very cute but omg he's kinda terrifying??? He's hypnotizing Kalim to make everyone else work to the bone like servants 😧 But also get this man an Oscar his ability to act completely innocent is terrifyingly good

Can you do some Twst men and how would they be when they're pining for their crush?

Pining is good, makes things more... hardcore when feelings explode to light.

Pairing: Riddle, Leona, Azul, Kalim, Vil, Idia, Malleus x Fem!Reader

Tags: angst, pining, hurt/comfort, jealousy, kissing, desperate kisses, confession, fear of rejection, insecurity

A/N: This is just straight up angst, be ready.

Riddle has been pining after you since the moment you became part of his House. He sees how hard you work, he wants to reward you, he's scared of you thinking him to strict and not lovable outside of his role as Leader. The conflict of these emotions makes him keep his distance, only giving you short, fast nods when you do things right and scowls at you when you do things wrong, immediately cursing himself for making you feel sad. That being said he is a little bit less strict with you then everyone else, which is your first clue that he might be more then a heartless tyrant.

Leona wants to have you all to himself, a selfish desire when he hasn't even confessed to you yet. All he's done is shamesly flirt with you and confuse you about if he does have feelings or not. When you kiss he is passionate and wild, but when you separate he doesn't want to talk about it anymore, like it never happened. He's playing with your heart as much as he is with his own, pulling away before any stronger feelings can form but never far enough to let anyone else have a chance with you. You can always feel his eyes on you, watching over you, a lion watching his prey, or his lioness, to him you are both.

Azul keeps finding reasons for you to spend time with him, just a little excuse to see you more and distract himself from the drowning feeling inside his chest. He knows what it is and he knows that it goes away when you're with him, so that's what he tries to achieve without actually saying the words out loud. He's seen what romance and love do, how they can ruin people. He's already ruined, he's made so many contracts, he can't get any worse, and he can't let you sink down with him, no matter how much he'd love to see that. He's happy keeping things as they are, with the longing gazes on both ends. Even if you try to tell him how you feel he will suggest a no strings option, it's better that way, for both of you.

Kalim has been friends with you since you were kids, and has had a crush on you for almost as long. He knows that as someone of royal blood there are expectations placed on who he should marry one day, the thing is that he already has his heart set on someone: you. As scared as he is of you rejecting him he would hate himself, and his life, if he didn't at least try to make you see the amount of love he has for you. He was afraid, avoiding you until he came up with the perfect words, making you think you did something wrong. It wasn't until he took you on a magic carpet ride under the stars that he poured his heart out to you, asking you to rule beside him one day.

Vil will gladly let you know how he feels... when he determines that you're good enough for him. He keeps trying to find flaws in you so he can tell himself that he's above you. It never works, for every flaw he finds ten more things to love. It only makes him more anxious to be perfect in front of you, doing everything he can to impress you to get you to be the one to make the first move and confess to him instead of the other way around. If that's the case he can save face and pretend that this whole pining thing never happened, that he didn't want to kiss you for the past year, like it wasn't all he was dreaming about.

Idia always flares up when he's around you, his flames running hot, running like a wildfire until he gets ahold of himself. Difficult to achievable with some breathing exercises. These become so frequent that you begin to worry that he's sick. You visiting him at his dorm and offering to cook for him and his brother doesn't make his feelings simmer down, they boil over. As you get ready to leave he stops you by holding you by the wrist, his face pink as he tells you how his flames burn brighter for you.

Malleus can't help but make himself scarce whenever you're around. He's missing enough classes as is, he does not need this. When he sees you talking to other students, laughing and smiling at them he wishes so badly that its him, but it can't be, he shouldn't be around you, it would only bring the same scrutiny it does him. Jealous as he might be of your friendships and closeness to everyone he feels its better to keep loving you from the shadows, he's happy as long as you're happy, even if he himself isn't the cause of that happiness.

“He wonders…” TWST boys dreaming about their crush (Scarabia)

Kalim al Asim

Kalim’s a big daydreamer, especially in class and dreams even more in his sleep about touching the skies while riding on his flying carpet, his fingers touching the skies as he sees dozens of rainbows over the horizon leading him to a secret paradise only he knows. Before he could even reach, his “journey” is usually cut short when the professor or Jamil wakes him up.

However, the moment he fell for you, it seems that his journeys in Daydream Land becomes more vibrant, colourful, airy and fantastical with you beside him: smiling just as gleefully as he is while embracing each other on his flying carpet. It truly is a whole new world, the skies and oceans are a shining, shimmering splendid to behold, much like yourself.

Kalim visibly pouts when he gets wakened up from his dreams about you. Why did they have to cut his journey short like this? Don’t they know it’s rude to just abruptly leave you behind when you were so happy? Regardless, Kalim continues to think of you with an airy smile adorned on his face, love-stricken by the idea that maybe you could be with him on his magic carpet to fly to somewhere only the two of you know.

What’s more is that Kalim would love to believe that you too, maybe just a tiny chance, that you also went on those adventures with him on his flying carpet, or talking with his parrot, seeing fireworks together in each other’s embrace or sneaking away in the middle of the night to dance the night away in his garden palace as the stars watch you both with content.

But even Kalim gets shy when you come around, it seems that he can’t ask you to join him just yet. As bubbly as he is, something makes him hesitate and holds him back. Perhaps the normal nervousness of asking your crush out? It’s most probably so.

If you could, maybe you should offer to ride on his flying carpet with him. Maybe you help him make his dream come true. <3

Jamil Viper

It’s not obvious, but like Kalim, Jamil dreams big. He dreams of travelling around the world, exploring and discovering exotic places, plants and whatever that catches his eye… that’s almost everything he dreams of. Unlike Kalim, however, he pushes his dreams aside when it comes to college, opting to focus on his work.

That’s why he hates you. No, he loves you, but he hates you. He hates how you invade his mind and creep into his thoughts and make him subconsciously doze off as a result. It’s harder to focus when all you do is accompany him to the ends of the world, hand in hand as you explore every nook and cranny Mother Nature has to offer. He realises that all his dreams with you have been nothing but romantic. All he does is dream of you loving him and him loving you.

He knows, that’s hard to believe (oh, little does he knows…), but he can’t help it. Jamil hates it, but at the same time he loves it. He groans in annoyance, flustered on his bed after he awakened from his dream of you and him dancing alone in the dance studio. Love is just so complicated, even for a smart boy such as himself. But that’s just what love does to us, and he is no exception.

Jamil tries to tone it down, but he feels his cheeks flaring when you approach him with a smile, triggering his memory of the same smile you gave him in his dream albeit more lovey-dovey than platonically. Jamil has never wanted to be consumed by the earth that badly before. Damn.

He loves you, but he’s scared that if he tells you, you either don’t love him back or he might make your life worse due to his family situation, but it hurts to only dream of everything he ever wanted only to wake up to realise it wasn’t real. Please, take his hand, promise him that no matter where you go with him, you will always have your hand in his, going to wherever whenever. He will love you to the ends of the earth, and I hope you do, too. <3

Reblogs help! ^^

And hi! In the midst of preparing for Nationals but I decided to write after being deprived for so long. Please wish me luck! 🙏

I wanna see more of the Twst cast to be nice/protective to Eyeless!Yuu. Imagine Trey giving them treats all the time and Vil trying to doll them up bc “even if you’re eyeless, you still are beautiful in other ways.” Malleus too, his fondness of Yuu grows even larger bc Yuu genuinely can’t judge him for his appearances and only appreciates who he is (Lilia would also like to adopt Yuu), same goes with Epel. Sebek lowering his voice around Yuu bc he doesn’t want their eyes to bleed due to nervousness. Leona threatens his dorm members to not do anything bad to Yuu, Kalim throwing parties to let them have fun even without their eyes and Adeuce, Jack and Epel being super overprotective.

OMG, this is so cute to think about and I 100% see this happening when it comes to the rest interacting with Eyeless-Yuu. Eyeless-Yuu would be surprised at how protective others will be with them for a bit {mainly since they never had a genuine interaction where they were cared for before their eyes were taken}.

Sebek lowering his voice around Eyeless-Yuu is a cute and good thing since Eyeless-Yuu can get nervous {sad/scared} easily when it comes to being {unintelligent in Sebek's case} yelled at by anyone {*cough* the noble *cough*}. Malleus would be grateful for Eyeless-Yuu willingly being around him even if they can't see him {so would Lilia and he'd probably tell stories about baby Malleus}, Silver and Eyeless-Yuu would definitely cuddle/sleep together in random spots

Vil doing Eyeless-Yuu's makeup is adorable to think about along with how Epel would be protective of Eyeless-Yuu {he'd probably carry them around to slightly show off his strength lol}, Rook would definitely complement Eyeless-Yuu or just silently roam around them daily.

I definitely see Leona placing down rules in his dorm when it comes to Eyeless-Yuu's safety, Ruggie would keep Leona updated about Eyeless-Yuu's treatment in the dorm along with Jack who's be their bodyguard of sorts unless Eyeless-Yuu asks him.

Ace and Deuce along with Grim are the main ones with Eyeless-Yuu 24/7 when possible {of course they give Yuu space when they need it or tell them to} and mainly just help them out in classes. {mainly PE since I like to think they'd have Eyeless-Yuu sit with them on their broom, Vargas maybe lets Eyeless-Yuu hang out with the others but not need to participate unless they want to}

Kalim would definitely throw parties or "small" celebrations when Eyeless-Yuu visits and just {nicely} drag them around the dorm or on the magic carpet. Jamil would keep them safe in case Kalim's slight recklessness gets them hurt and makes small treats/meals for them like Trey.

Azul would definitely have Jade and Floyd keep tabs on Eyeless-Yuu {he'd probably be a little thankful Eyeless-Yuu couldn't see his chubby child self from way back in and would definitely get embarrassed or flustered if someone were to describe the photo to them}

Riddle, Cater and Trey would be around Eyeless-Yuu the most when at the dorm and have Ace and Deuce keep them updated on them. Same with Ortho who'd keep their health or emotional state updated and probably have them hang them out with Idia to get him out of his room and socialize a bit.

Twst mlp AU | thoughts behind the designs

I made Leona an earth pony with a thicker build. Hes a square with sharp angles! Hes one of the first drawings I made for this ‘series’ so its a bit lackluster, but I wanted him to be nice and hairy. I gave him a more lion-like tail, and some jewelry from his culture. His ears are nicked and he has long, slightly tangled hair. He also has a lot of hair around his neck becuase he’s a lion! I gave him a color scheme vaguely resembling a lion as well. Also nice and hairy legs, i love to draw those on horses. His cutie mark is three claw marks over clouds of dust. There are multiple different meanings to this cutie mark.

Vil covers up his cutie mark for personal reasons, but its a spotlight shining behidn some curtains. I tried to give him a more ‘feminine’ look while also keeping sharper angles. I love his color scheme, and i made him a unicorn because I thought it fit perfectly. I considered making him an earth pony to really show how he works hard for everything and doesn’t take shortcuts, but in the end unicorn won. I might change it later though! I had to give him some elegant white spots too, because aesthetically it just clicked in my head. He has a purple bow and has his unique hair accessory in his bun. I gave him longer eyelashes, and instead of making his hair a blonde-purple gradient I made some locks purple.

Jamil!!! He’s one of my favorite designs. I know the obvious choice seems to make him a unicorn, but HEAR ME OUT ON PEGASUS JAMIL! It adds a lot of symbolism and extra layers I think, it’s very tragic. Plus, he looks pretty with wings. I gave him darker and greyer colors to portray his darker and jaded nature, and it’s a nice contrast to Kalim’s design. I tried to vaguely design him off of Arabian horses but it didn’t come through very well. Did you know that MLP has a race of horses called ‘Saddle Arabians’? I didnt and i think its absolutely hilarious. Jamil is also supposed to have bags attached to the thing around his waist, but I’m too lazy to draw them.. His cutie mark is an eye with the world as its pupil, and a snake curling behind it. I put a lot of thought into his cutie mark and I’m really happy with what I came up with! To me it has 4 different meanings! I kinda want to redraw Jamil because he looks so small compared to the others!

Kalim is a unicorn for even more delicious angst. His whole family is unicorns. He’d much rather be a pegasus, but at least he has the magic carpet! Jamil thinks it’s bullshit that Kalim can use magic AND can fly. I made Kalim’s colors more vibrant and yellow and lively. He wears lots of jewlery, has tattoos and is my favorite design of these four! He also took me the longest. His cutiemark is a sun or a coin with gems on it, and it has wings. This too has multiple meanings. I think in the Scalding Sands culture the snake jewelry was something the sorcerer of the sands, an alicorn, wore around his horn. Maybe the original was a magical artifact? Well, Kalim, and other people from the scalding sands, wear fakes to honor the sorcerer. Anyways, I made Kalim slightly hairier then Jamil to show how he’s softer and wilder.

———

I’d love to do more with this AU, because my mind is already full with so many cool ideas! Thanks for reading my rambles and have a nice day :)

Do we know exactly why yuu is called 'trickster'? Pretty dumb question ik I actually don't know if this has been answered alread

The nicknames in TWST are not usually explained. The main exceptions I can think of are “Monsieur Dent-de-Lion” for Ruggie in book 5, “Baby Seal” for Grim in book 4, “Goldfish” for Riddle in Floyd’s School Uniform vignette, and “Crabby” for Ace in the second volume of the light novel. We have to draw on assumptions for basically the rest of them. I’m guessing that “Trickster” is meant to allude to Yuu’s implied strategic nature despite passing off as plain and unassuming by appearance alone.

I believe the closest we get to learning the origins of Yuu’s nickname is in the first Happy Beans Day event; in it, Yuu is part of a ploy to trick the Monster/Beast team in order to seize the golden harp the other team is protecting. However, Rook is calling them Trickster long before the final deception is revealed in chapter 13, in which he remarks that Yuu is truly deserving of the nickname.

The issue I have with it is that I think Yuu has done very little to maintain it 💦 Sometimes Yuu has flashes of intelligence (like realizing that the contracts aren’t invincible). However, outside of the prologue (guiding Grim on where to shoot fire and formulating a plan to take out the OB In the mines) and maybe that small segment in Happy Beans Day (though most of the plan was Jade’s), we rarely ever see Yuu being that much of a tactician or trickster. Rather, they are often strung along on other people’s plans or doing minor or coincidental things (like making noise to prevent Leona from sleeping/stealing the magic carpet and crashing into Octavinelle) to push the narrative along while letting other characters do the Big Brain work for them (it was Leona and/or Azul who actively orchestrated the plots). I guess the argument could be made that maybe Yuu helps in tricking others (Endless Halloween Night, distracting Jamil with board games while Kalim is interrogated in book 4), but it doesn’t come off as a particularly strong or defining trait of theirs if several other characters also engage in the same acts (Floyd, Azul, Malleus, Lilia, etc.) or Yuu had little involvement in planning the deception.

I just think it’s a wasted opportunity to give Yuu such a cool nickname but then never fully commit to showing us why Yuu has “earned” that title. I guess it implies that Rook, who is an observant character, sees more in Yuu than being generically nice or cheering about friendship. However, it rings… somewhat hollow if characters are just saying Yuu is smart (Leona + a few others also have lines that express similar sentiments) or telling Yuu what to do without Yuu actually doing anything smart or actually planning a ploy themselves 😭 It’s “telling” us what Yuu is rather than “showing” us. This is likely done for the self-insert aspect of TWST/to make players feel important, but I don’t think it’s good from an actual writing standpoint.

Dorm leaders with a reader who sings like the Japanese singer, "Ado"

🌹 Riddle Rosehearts

-Riddle knew you were full of surprises, but he never expected you to have such an amazing voice. Cater was the one that revealed your talent by showing him one of your music videos at one of the Unbirthday parties. Riddle questions as to why you don't reveal your face, but he realized that if that's what makes you comfortable, then its fine. The ADeuce combo joked with the both of you saying that you should sing for Riddle for his birthday. Riddle flushed and collared the both of them for messing with him, but he secretly wouldn't mind if you sang for him. His favorite song of yours is "New Genesis" , he loves how upbeat it is and he sometimes hums the song to himself when he is doing his schoolwork

🦁Leona Kingscholar

Leona doesn't really care for music and all that other nonsense, especially if it disturbs his sleeping. He had found out about your singing when he was heading to Ramshackle dorm to avoid Ruggie, and had caught you in your room, recording for one of your music videos. You didn't realize Leona was in the room until you heard clapping, and saw him standing there with a smirk on his face. "Not bad", he said as he came closer to you and patted your head. Leona started to get more involved with your music, to the point he would wake up from his nap once he got a notification about a new music video on his phone. His favorite song of yours is "Usseewa", he tends to relate to the song and also likes the rebellious theme in the music video.

🐙Azul Ashengrotto

Well, well, well. Not only are you an angelfish, you also have the voice of an angel. Azul had discovered your talent, when he came across you in the music room of NRC, playing and singing on the piano. Azul came closer to you and sat down next to you, not saying a word, just listening to your gorgeous voice. Azul, being a business man that he is, wanted to promote you into being a singer in Mostro Lounge. Of course, he would pay you accordingly and there would be no need for a contract. Once you told Azul that you mostly perform on Magitube (Twst version of Youtube XD), and don't show your face, he understood and wouldn't pressure you, but he really would loved if you worked for him, so he could hear your voice more often. You did offer to sing a song promoting Mostro Lounge or have some of your merchandise be sold at Mostro Lounge, so both of you could benefit, since you felt bad for rejecting Azul's promotion, and Azul agreed in a heartbeat. His favorite song of yours is "Readymade" , he loves how jazzy it is.

☀️Kalim Al-Asim

NO WAYYYYYYY!!!!! YOU CAN SING!!!!!!! WE HAVE TO CELEBRATE!!!! Kalim was over the moon when he found out that you can sing, that he wanted to throw a celebration for you at Scarabia. He kept asking you over and over if you could please sing at the party. You appreciated how happy Kalim was about your talent, but you were not use to singing in front of people. Jamil noticed saw how tense you were and explained to him everything. Kalim realized that he was pushing you to sing and felt uncomfortable. He just wanted everyone to hear your amazing voice that he didn't consider your feelings so he apologized and offered to give you a ride on his magic carpet. Kalim wasted not time to subscribe to you and listen to all your music videos. His favorite song of yours is "The World's Continuation" , he loves the animation in the video and how soothing your singing is.

🍎Vil Schoenheit

Vil considered you to be a regular potato like all the other students until he discovered your talent when the Joint Culture Festival took place. During the auditions for VDC, it was your turn to demonstrate your singing, you surprised both him and Rook with your incredible voice. Vil is not an easy man to impress as he has been in the acting/music industry for a long time, so the fact that you were able to leave him wide eyed and mouth gaped like fish, welp, you had managed to capture the attention of the most beautiful person in NRC. Vil was slowly starting to become one of your biggest supporters/fans, as he often watched over you like a mother hen, making sure you were okay and not straining your voice too much. He wasn't use to your habit of not showing your face in your music videos, as you should be able to show your beauty to the whole world, but he slowly got over it, yet he was still interested in doing a duet with you on your video channel. His favorite song of yours is " Gira Gira" , he loved the message in the song and how it focused on beauty, but flaws and imperfections as well.

🔥Idia Shroud

Haha, don't group Idia with the other normies. He was the first one to discover your talent before all the other dorm leaders. During one of his gaming streams, he noticed that a lot of people were commenting in the chat about a recent music video of yours and that he should check them out. Idia decided to indulge in his streamers comments and check out one of your music videos. Welp, I guess you can imagine that after that, Idia become a huge fan of you and subscribed to your channel immediately. He was always the first one to hop on your new music videos and leave so many sweet comments about how good the video was and your voice. Idia understood COMPLETELY about not showing your face at concerts and in your videos as he does the same thing, and uses a tablet to communicate half of the time. You really appreciated Idia's support and you had asked him if he would be interested in doing an animation for your next music video. Idia fainted once you told him that, but Ortho answered for him and said he would love too. He loves all of your songs, but his number one favorite is "Backlight" , he loves the animation and the fact that you sang songs for an anime has him fangirling like crazy.

🐲Malleus Draconia

"Oya~ You are certainly one unique Child of Man." Malleus loves listening to music, but he is more use to the classical genre of music then rock or pop. He is also artistic in performing since he is very skilled with string instruments. He happened to discover your talent during one of his strolls through Ramshackle, as he saw you sitting in the fields, singing to yourself. Once you discovered Malleus had appeared next to you, you apologized quickly as you wondered if you had disturbed him, but he shook his head and said you sang very beautifully and would love to listen to you sing a bit more please. Malleus wasn't use to technology, but he had Lilia help him with that, since Lilia had better knowledge in that field, so he could watch and listen to your music videos. He was amazed to see how versatile your vocal ability was as you could hit so many different ranges. You had helped him discover other genres of music that he had never tapped into before and he thanked you for letting him discover something new. His favorite song of yours is "Aitakute" , he loves the story in the music video and the romantic theme in it.
