The thread dying would've been a lot less embarrassing if we hadn't gone out on a roll call of people proving that the thread isn't dead. We're such losers.
Does it seem to anyone else like en stopped messing with the translations sometime around book 6? Things have seemed pretty straight forward in 7. I like to think they learned their lesson after fucking up riddle and trey so bad they had to go back and undo what they themselves did but who knows.
>>550323773Yeah, how did the thread ended up dying lmao
>>550330869I'm telling you: you, me, and two people who hate each other. And three of us all in the same time zone.
>>550330869I used to be the resident Malleusfag bumping with lizard pictures but someone on here seems to hate him and diaso in general for whatever reason and whines every time they get the chance so I stopped
>>550341301That is when you double down and bump the thread every ten minutes with your best lizard representation, both cause that's your boy and also to annoy asses like that.
>>550323773>>550330869>>550337891I just saw there's a new thread, and I admit what you're saying is funny.
Will this thread last until Christmas? It's a bit strange not to have any non-Christmas-themed art in OP during the game's first Christmas event, especially on Christmas Day.
justice for lizardsis
>>550347667Don't worry, he'll have a very important role in Book 8! Right?
Hm. My cards with the highest attack stats are apparently Dorm Leona, Crewel, Vargas, Dorm Riddle and Dorm Malleus. And still getting my ass handed to me in exams.
>>550341301I don't post about them often but I love lizard-kun and the diaso family in general so don't worry about it anon
I enjoy Malleus and find his fan club less annoying than the anti-mal people, unlike the fan clubs of other Boys Who Shall Not Be Named, who drive me insane even if their boy himself is fine.Except for when they come after me for being a lionsis. It’s like come on guys we all love the inhuman princes with family issues we should be best friends actually, don’t get all defensive. Lizard is love, Lion is love.
Love how Leona is casually thinking about food while Azul and Idia are just exploding in the background
>>550341301Is that hater still around? I haven't been around in a while admittedly, EN getting book 7 finale has me swing by again. Their spite was entertaining but >>550341698 is correct, I say that as someone who likes the autism lizard the least out of Dia boys
>/twst/ dying again Not on my watch
What's in the basement, Viiru?
>>550360128Leona/Ruggie is great.
>>550354710>Boys Who Shall Not Be NamedCome on anon, do give some names. Not sure how things are on the japanese side of the fandom but based on my own experience, Malleus, Vil and Idia have the worst en fans.
What do you think will happen after the last episode of the anime? They've already released a teaser for the second season, there's already been an announcement, so there won't be anything after the episode? Maybe a release date?
Remember when Cater said he wanted to date Vil and rather than telling him that he wasn't interested Vil immediately tried to findom him
>>550403021I find it funny when I remember that out of the fanfics 214 of Vil/Cater on AO3, more than 100 were written by a single person.
>>550403021I loved that and I'm sad they took it out of en. Literally "Bitch you can't afford this" and "Yeah, I know."
>>550407829Peak fujo autism, I respect that.
>>550413589I know people keep calling Trey dad in the jp game but I wonder if anyone has ever called Cater mom
>>550413589Cater is not made to be the mediator for auspiticism. Only moirail.
>>550407829Meanwhile here I am struggling to put out a single chapter. I wish I had that person's power.
>>550426353VilCay fic?
>>550427932Sadly no, just some gen. Got like 20k worth of assorted shippy stuff sitting around my notes but none of it in presentable form yet.
>>550428153hhhhhhooooooottttttt oh. my god what is this game doing to me
Man I'm seeing cringe "reaction" videos going around I can't imagine actually watching one. If they're all a bunch of people like "okay so this red-haired girl is the great-granddaughter of the queen of hearts" and stuff I might just lose my mind.
Idia/Swing in 20 minutes, and final anime ep an hour after that? Busy busy busy
So skullington is legit dead and a ghost then, running around halloweentown looking like he's still 16 but actually older than malleusIn the movie Oogie has that line, right? "I thought you were dead. You must be double dead." I wonder if Swing is gonna say it.
guys the part of yuuken fighting riddle was so cheesey I got secondhand embarrassment even though I watched it by myself
>>550451982Even as a Yuu enjoyer, I really don't like that the manga makes the Yuus relevant to the OB fights. Like am I really supposed to believe this magicless shmuck is able to get the last hit on an out of control mage?What the fuck is this captcha?
All three CayAce sisters out there are losing their fucking MINDS right now
>>550453254I agree with you and also don't like it because it takes away from the significance of Trey and Cater and Ace and Deuce taking down Riddle, of Ruggie and Jack being who take down Leona, etc. They looked at the fat boy in Octa and went "nah" and gave it to Jade, and that made sense. That was amazing. We don't see who beat Riddle in the novel but we know it wasn't Yuuya, and Ruggie using Jack's body to take down Leona was fantastic in the other novel. No reason to stick the useless self-inserts into places and make it objectively worse story telling.
Weak groovy alert! Weak groovy alert! Several class-B weak groovies entering your area!
Skully my beloved…
Yep, "What's This?" is the TWST tune. Gee, can't wait for it to be removed in a week and never show up for EN release.
>>550453428>make it objectively worse story telling.I can't believe the people of /twst/ believe that having the main character actually do something rather than exist as a purely passive observer is bad story telling
>>550460537Oogie boogie snub
>>550458981Huh? All of the groovies (including Idia's) revealed today are good except for Jack's because his face kind of looks weird there for some reason.
>>550462782Kek is that Ruggie's real form?
>>550461250If your idea of a main character is "person who could easily be erased from the story, has no influence whatsoever, is regularly ignored and only exist in 3% of game story content" then sure, they're the main character I guess.They're not the main character. They're called the "mc" for brevities sake, but don't kid yourself. Not everything is about Yuu. In fact, nothing is about Yuu, and hasn't been since 2020.Yuuka and Yuuken didn't deserve the moment of taking down the overblotters.
>>550454884look at my baby hyenalook at himlook
Oh hey speaking of the manga how crazy would it be if they dropped chapter 1 of Pomefiore tomorrow amiright.Nah I just checked, it's just another Scarabia chapter we've already seen.
>>550465304>If your idea of a main character is "person who could easily be erased from the story, has no influence whatsoever, is regularly ignored and only exist in 3% of game story content" then sure, they're the main character I guess.>They're not the main characterYuuken is the protagonist and thus by definition the main character. That is what protagonist means.
>>550462782So then if Jack's UM switched with merfolk, does that mean Azul would be a real octopus or Jade/Floyd be eels?
>>550461250>>550465304Everyone says “the manga having multiple Yuu’s proves that Yuu can be anyone!” And one of these days I swear I’m gonna respond “the manga having multiple Yuus proves that they are so inconsequential, so irrelevant, and matter so little to the plot that they can be anyone.”
>>550466418If your idea of a protagonist is someone who doesn’t actually need to exist at all for the story to reach the exact same ending, can have all his dialogue and actions removed with no influence on the plot, can literally disappear without anything changing then sure. You have a weird definition of protagonist but hey, so whatever you need to do to get yourself off. He’s not the protagonist. Yana even has an interview about how the main characters change according to game chapter. It’s not about you. Oops, I mean Yuu.
>>550466639Oh my god do you know how CUTE a true octo-zul would be. Also how dangerous cause Jade will fucking eat him without thinking twice about it.
Oh my god how long has JP had the ability to combine Sam gacha rolls this is amazing
>>550382550This took me out, also I can’t believe they translated it directly. Can’t say “shit” but insinuating a torture dungeon is okay.
Rook might have the best base card this series but Idia might have the best sprite. I’m not even an Idiasis but damn.
>>550466898You could say most of that about characters like Chief Bromden, if you really wanted to. But your English teacher probably wouldn't appreciate it if you did.
>>550468273Oh. I’m speaking to a 14 year old.Okay sweetie, here is the thing: Main characters are defined by narrative agency and structural centrality. The Yuus don’t drive the plot, make key decisions, or shape the arc. Chief Bromden is literally the narrator whose perspective shapes the story, whereas the Yuus are not only optional, in the majority of the games content they do not even exist. They have no perspective. They are nothing.They’re not even in master chef, a class literally about not using magic, which will never not be hilarious.
>>550465841Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me that spoilers for Kuro should be dropped anytime now>>550466639>A real-looking purple octopus with glassesCUTE>>550467002>Also how dangerous cause Jade will fucking eat him without thinking twice about it.Kek>>550468082This is probably Idia's 2nd best sprite after his Ghost Marriage one, glad I got this card so fast
I’m annoyed that I didn’t see the Ruggie-pick-pocketing plot twist coming because of course he did.
>>550468849I think my fav example of that was when the prefect didn’t show up in Sebek’s dorm personal story even tho it’s about Ace and Deuce’s class, which the prefect is in, too. Not even a mention, like they might as well not exist. The yume people get big mad if you mention it tho.
>>550457658Are you people blind why are we sleeping on this groovy he looks amazing
>>550469547Who's we? I LOVE it and everyone on my TL is talking about it
>Everyone looking like a model>Then there's Ace
>>550470207I saw this too, the post text was like “a billboard for a host club,” truth
I swear there's a Yana interview or post somewhere that mentions the boys are the main characters that's why they have the most focus and do their own thing , instead of Yuu.
>>550468849>The Yuus don’t drive the plot, make key decisions, or shape the arcOh man, I guess not. We'll just ignore books 3 and 4. Fuck, man, I don't even care about Yuu in the slightest, but you're acting as if they've done nothing at all.
Yuu will never be important nor the boys will care about yuu
Today
>>550471253They don’t do anything at all. Book 3 could’ve been just Jack and book 4 just grim alone and literally not a single thing would change. They’re irrelevant. So irrelevant that they’re interchangeable.
>>550470806You’re not wrong, unless we hallucinated the same tweet. I distinctly remember mentioning it on Reddit right after I saw it and getting downvoted to hell.
>>550472856I don't give a shit about Yuu either but they did play an active role in book 3, that's probably the first and only time their presence was relevant.
>>550473172Not arguing with that. It’s was the most impact they have in the entire story, and yet they’re still entirely removable anyway.
>>550467002No no, he'd eat a couple legs then wait for them to regrow so he can eat MORE octopus. Always playing the long game.
>>550467002>>550469138I think he will look like this. I bought one of these. It's cute.
I saw a post about how the only two ships that EN speakers unanimously approve of is Lilia x Meleanor and Skully x Sebek. First one is obvious cause the loudest people are always the most basic of bitches but the second one is so funny. Is it cause Sebek is so unpopular with yumes or what.
>>550475297I saw this and got really confused, I don't think Skully x Sebek is popular; there are almost no fanfics, t least, I can read Silver/Sebek fanfics, but I was thinking it's only a matter of time before Westerners hate Skully x Sebek. After all, Skully is a ghost, over 100 years old, and lived a life after school. I think they haven't noticed the new age difference between them yet, right?
>>550481576I'm hungry for some tako now...
Fuck, this is giving me diabetes
>>550453289Laughing at the yumes again. The mistletoe they were so excited for is between the boys only.
>>550495583What are you so mad for lol
>>550495583Who would even kiss Grim?
>>550499789Idia
>>550465841When do you think the Pomefiore manga will be announced? Scarabia was announced at the end of last year, right? And it's strange that there's only one manga currently, a few months ago there were three manga at the same time!
>>550499789Many people see Grim as a cute kitty and smooch their pets.
>>550465841>>550511826I wish they would announce three new manga at the same time: Pomefiore, Glorious Masquerade, and Lost in the Book with Stitch.
So Swing is still alive?
>>550495583I love it. My only qualm is they didn't actually have Cater turn his head to look at Ace at that part. They didn't need to animate actual kissing but just two chibi-round faces turned towards one another would've been top tier.Can't complain too much though at least they didn't change it entirely to a shot of a fireplace or something, point for having the guts to put two boys physically close to one another in at all.
>>550516846I mean, Skully isn't alive alive either and we still got his card. So will Swing.
>>550518730Are they both deadare they being ghosts togetherare they marriedwas rollo the officiantI need answers anon
>>550518985Eliza, Skully/Swing, Meleanor. Don't get married in twst guys you gonna die. Georgina and Shroud parents, watch out.
>>550478056So he canonically knows how to sew?
>>550532545I haven't read the thing yet to confirm but I dunno why he wouldn't, lots of people into fashion are also capable of doing their own alterations and stuff
>>550475297I finally came upon this post and I wonder how much of a bubble do en fans keep themselves in. This take is as bizarre as the people in the qrts saying 'nobody wants Rollo' when his card was revealed on JP, stuff that's not remotely true at all if one is anywhere outside of their sphere
>>550539583Rollo is so popular on jp twst it is hilarious and I love it. I love him too, he is so angry and high strung, Yana comes up with the best characters I swear to god.
When's the next season for the anime?
>>550546528We have all the same information that you do.
>>550458981I'm not a first-year kind of person but I think Jack looks real good. I love how the art style gives him weight, somehow. Ruggie is great, but I guess Deuce's is...nope, he looks good too, usually the "wide open mouth" thing can get weird with Twst but it's pretty well done this time.Silver's is adorable and I love the lighting, Lilia's is fantastic, Floyd's is a hard angle to pull off but I love how he looks in it, Cay Cay is #1 and I forgot where I was going with this.They're better than the Playfulland groovies, hands down.
Canceling my d+ account now that the anime is over yay, call me when Umehara shows up, October 2026
Over 24 hours and the tl is still hot and sweaty about Idia’s sprite and the skin between his scarf thing and the jacket like seeing a Victorian lady’s ankle
This happened last year too but the guys sing in English and I'm just like "oh dear. oh my. Please just...just sing the jp dub. really. it's fine." But the more I listen to it the more I like it. I have been listening to the engrish What's This on repeat all evening. It is adorable when you can tell apart who is singing what. Fucking. Shimazaki. I love that man.
When, on what day do they usually announce the New Year's characters? And which characters do you want?
>>550568530I get them, not sure whether or not to be glad that Idia isn't aware of his own hotness.
>>550577551I know you're that weird engagement baiter from reddit and aren't actually expecting a response but anyway2022 announced 12/272023 announced 12/252024 announced 12/262025 announced 12/26So I think we've got a little over a week still
>>550580291People talk all the time about Idia being hot but his bon groovy is maybe the first time I've actually considered him to be attractive. And that's including fan art. He looks daaaamn good.
>>550577551You've asked this before intern-kun but anyway. As a filthy idiazu fujo, I want them both for this year but poor Epel is due for a non-birthday SSR so I think he'll get one during this event.
>>550595653Is Epel one of the least popular boys?
>>550601747I guess? He's one of my least favorites as well but I feel bad for his fans, they've been starving for a while.
Saw this dumb discourse come up on my TL and wow that Brazil is fucking lame and boring. Kino's Brazil is 10x better than that shit That series is so dumb bruh>This isn't twst !!!Kino general, get over it
>>550601747He's one of my least favorites for sure. I think it's cause we all know his schtick by now. It's an issue with all the first years, except Ace. They just don't have that much depth when compared to the older students.
>>550626602Are you talking about Hetalia? And now I'm curious about Kino's Brazil, what does him look like?
>>550634141Yeah, it was talking about Brazil's reveal in the recent Hetalia World Stars release.
>>550626602Why I'm not surprised that I'm not the only hetafag here? But yeah I agree, it's funny how Himaruya just copy-pastes the same 2-3 hairstyles on his male characters and as a result, many of them end up unintenionally looking like each other.
>>550638862Better be a Hetafag than a Homestuck one, that's for sure. If Grim does get a human form, will he sound like England/Britain?
>Vargas drills start the day after Idia's birthdayWhat did EN mean by this
>>550638862>Why I'm not surprised that I'm not the only hetafag here?We're all hetafags here.
>>550642207I'm real glad that fad passed me by. I hear of some of ya'lls drama sometimes and it sounds real obnoxious.
>>550643842I was lucky to find a pretty chill corner of the fandom (circa 2009) but even that place ended up devolving. It was great while it lasted though, best fandom experience I've ever had.
>>550672548Kind of depressing to think that we are less chill than hetalia of all things
>>550676035No anon, it was just chill compared to the rest of the hetalia fandom (or what I've heard of it). It eventually went downhill thanks to the usual pearl-clutching idiots and personal drama between RPers, I didn't stay long enough to watch it fully implode. I still miss the golden days though.Back to the relevant topic, anyone know of any updated card tier list or somesuch? I've been dicking around kamigame but the ranking I managed to find looks 3 years old.
Vargas!
>>550677089Yeah, we get new cards so quick that no one wants to have to keep a list like that updated
I am once again rewatching the far out bjewel show. The concert moved it up from my least to second-most favorite song.
>>550388269CUDDLINGHEADPATS
Biggest surprise this event might have been that Jack's VA sounds amazing singing in English. Doesn't sound like Jack but does sound good.
>>550388269Cute Pom
The guys Skully kissed confirmed gay. He didn't get the chance to do it for the Christmas boys.
Wait, was there a new chapter of Scarabia this week? I haven't seen anyone commenting about it anywhere.
>>550723343No, it's the same chapter that got published online.
>>550736907kek
I would still celebrate Desire Day over Bug Day. Never sorry, Oogie.
>>550752460God this shady hobo is so hot
I enjoy how the bug tattoo got literally zero lore. UM related? Coin related? A curse? Something to do with prison? His BFF? His pet? Sentient? Controlled? No info. Love it.

new fav fanart
>>550784691After reading about Swing's Skully-obsession I was surprised when Skully dipped in and out for just a cameo and they never actually met in the event. Poor Swing, so close yet so far.
EN took out the part at the end where Lililia calls his boys children and replaced it with the word grown-ups, which is kind of the basis of ENs changes in a nutshell, really."He just called them children." - "No he didn't. In fact he said that they are all mature adults and had a small monologue about how nrc is not a high school and also everyone is legally an adult in every possible country but especially the USA."
>>550799643Huh. Did they replace the instances where Malleus refers to characters like they are children to him then
>>550802054Nope, that's still there, and Leona calling Malleus childish. Just the last part I think. Lilia has a line like "it's okay to cry because that's what children do" that EN erased, and the line before it is where they took out "children" and wrote in "grown ups." Both sad and funny.
Got bloom idia from the free 20-roll. I'm so glad they introduced that system.
>>550804948That's the kind of thing that bothers me the most but I dunno why. Maybe cause it's just so shamelessly blatant? Just cutting stuff right out, turning it into the exact opposite of what the dialogue says. Even if it's not plot relevant info it's just like what. If it's not that big of a deal to leave it or remove it then just leave it in.
>>550808543Sad and cute?
>>550777536Heights are a bit of a mess
>>550799643I play on EN but I haven't actually read a story in like a year. I just take /twst/'s word for anything that happens
Swing being alive and still around means he and Jamil can meet! Hooray!
>>550848959People really want to see Jamil interacting with him, right?
Enma Yuuken is for...Gonna miss him, but anyway time to cancel my D+ subscription and enjoy the merch
>>550868342Yep! One who likes bugs and one who hates them. Won't it be so fun to watch?
>>550877562Not really? He just faints when he sees bugs. And we've already seen what that was like.
I wonder if that new event exhibition thing is gonna have character backgrounds and stuff for. the event boys. Give us the lore Yana. Give.
Kind of feels weird to think we're not getting anything on Wednesday. A proper teaser for Season 2 or something would be amazing.
>>550457217>>550532545>>550532674This is gonna be like Idia's harveston groovy, isn't it. Eners that don't know how to read assuming that what the illustration shows is canon when it is actually the opposite.I read the thing now and no, Floyd can't sew. He gets bored with the same movement over and over again. Talked about how he had to sew a thing for a class but did want to, so Jade sewed something for him instead. Jade is the one that can sew. Floyd ties to sew in the vignette but he sucks at it and gives no fucks, as is on brand.
>>550928551didn't want to*

>>550933007Canon
I enjoy how new fans will refer to characters by their full names as if there are multiple characters named "Riddle" in the franchise and if we do not specify "Rosehearts" then people might get confused about which one we mean.
>>550945164Like I can undertand tagging system, but in normal conversation like here or Discord, why say the full name?
>>550924591Nice
>>550940650Sexy
>>550995979How would their interaction go?
>>550998651Vox would give Idia lot of shit for being an otaku, but Idia can remark that even with the current tech and magic that goes on in Hell, it's not as advanced compare to where he is. Vox could try to strike a deal with Idia that if he helps him, Vox can help give Idia get absolute isolation.
Epel should get a farmer/hillbilly outfitStrawhat, a straw in his mouth. Overalls with a strap hanging loose and some boots. He'd look cute in that
>>550947306I dunno but it’s cute. I’ve seen it happen multiple times and it reminds me of JP honorifics. Since english doesn’t have -san but they’re new to the fandom and not familiar enough with the characters to be on a first-name basis they use full names instead.
>>551026101This reminds me of this time I was trying to write Deuce and had one hell of a time with honorifics (back before EN came out, so no official translation to base it on). Keeping "Surname-senpai" was not an option so in a few instances I had him go with full names too. Even to this day I don't think there's any option that hits the same as the original though.
Ugh... FINE. I will bump the thread with the power of cute
Love the variation in the Halloween guys. Lowkey wondering if we’re gonna get some shota next year. Captain Hook and he’s a literal child. Spent too much time in neverland and backwards aged or something.
The number one complaint I have seen about the anime getting Yuuka is “it will be confusing for new viewers.” Cause heaven forbid someone has to “oh it’s a different person now, ok then” for three seconds, I guess
>>551052921Malleus be like "this is my stalker Sebek, and my stalker's stalker Skully, and my stalker's stalker's stalker Swing."
Recent stuff with the rapunzel event and chip and dale event and stuff is getting a little too disney for me. I hope that's not the new direction things are going in.
>>551049186>The number one complaint I have seen about the anime getting Yuuka isThat she fucking sucks
>>551065406That is also true. But people gotta be careful about saying that outright cause the absolute nutcases in this fandom will dogpile for misogyny that they made up in their own heads.
>>551076767Cute
>>551033573Who is cute?
>>550746095Poor Jack
>>551031218The english novel tried by having Deuce use just last names with everybody but it kind of makes him sound even more casual, like a football coach yelling at his players or something when he's supposed to be the super polite and conscientious one.
Third novel whenYanaYanapls
We still haven’t finished all the master chef reruns, have we? I remember when it first ended like two years ago and we were all excited about the new event that would inevitably take its place. So young, so naive.
I wonder if we’re ever gonna get a Pom continuation of the manga or if they’re gonna let it die with scara. Kind of unbelievable that we got scara at all, I can’t imagine that the manga is actually that popular.
Looking for lizard pics recently and there is a lot more porn than I remember there being before.
>>551065406Whenever I see someone talking about why they like her character they are always making up a ton of non-canon stuff to compensate for all the personality she doesn’t have. It’s an interesting phenomenon. “I am going to like this character even if I have to invent reasons to do so goddammit.”
I miss blazing jeweeeel what a fun bit that was
>>551185449He is not good around dogs.
>>551153709I don't see why they would stop. If Disney can launch more than 10 different fantasy book franchises based on their animated films in the last decade, why would they stop releasing new Twisted Wonderland manga?
>>551176805The Blazing Jewel was really great, I loved the music and the show, but now I'm curious about what they're planning for next year? They can't possibly do something bigger, right? Maybe a spin-off game, a Musou game? Even Touken Ranbu had one.
>>551200847Wallahi, Jamil, let's go celebrate that infidel holiday together!
>>551187631Cute
>>551193770I'm thinking this year was particularly big because it was the five-year anniversary, so they might not aim for bigger for the 6th, and it is the 10th that is going to be fascinating because they really did go all out for Blazing Jewel.
>>550632079>except AceAnd Sebek too, thanks to book 7 and the NBC event.
>>551233187But like, UNKNOWN depth. We know everything there is to know about Sebek. Ace is the only first year we don't know fuck all about, which is why he's still interesting.
>>551239129The first year boys are great and very cute!
>>551235094Sebek is slightly more interesting because his family has potential. Half-fae girl and guy siblings? How old are they? What are they doing and where? How big is that age gap? Are they adults and Sebek was an Oopsie baby? We have a lot of parent-info but his parents are still a little interesting. How did they meet, what exactly is going on there, Sebek says his dad looks way older than his mom but is his mom like a loli? Or is she like 9 feet tall? Is his grandma dead? What happened there? Was she an ancient fae way older than Baul who actually died of old age? What is the crocodile thing all about anyway? Exactly how often does Lilia visit Baul for a nostalgia fuck?So many questions, so few answers.But yeah Epel and Deuce and Jack are boring by now. Ortho is okay I guess but only when he goes into gremlin mode.
>>551251547Jack is a little bit. His brother’s magicless. Siblings are both kids though so that’s less interesting.
>>551256725Adeuce winniiiing
>>551161357Share with the class...
>>551283876Do blue boards allow links? I forget.Maybe it’s the same amount and I’m just finding it for the first time. I’m not a Mallelili person but the more I see the more I think that Lilia hooking up with that entire family is hilarious. Even Maleficia sure why not, passing the bat around like a blunt.
>>551251547What would it take to make Apple and Juice interesting again? A secret older cousin showing up or something?
>>551289497May not a "we already know ya'lls family" problem but a goody-goody problem. I will never forgive Epel and Sebek for refusing to let Jade and Idia set out traps for the sledathon. That's the kind of shenanigans I play the game to see, not "we need to win fair and square" shit. That is why Jack and Sebek are also boring. Although Jack's thing in playfulland where he insisted on sneaking out of the dorm and ditching class cause he didn't want to break his promise to Fellow was kinda funny.
>>551271189I loved them in the Deuce vignette! And Ruggie and Jack's vignettes were great too! Ruggie wanting a Christmas present and thinking he deserved it, and the final scene in the library, and I liked Jack's about the world without magic, and it's interesting to have a story of the boys talking about what it would be like to live there, and the joke about Santa Claus taking Yuu back to his world.
>>551285636Kinda crazy how Mallelili gained more traction 5 years into the game release. Swing/Skully is even being compared to them. Makes me wonder what other pairing from this old cast that's gonna get screen time in the main story and then suddenly get popular too the game loves to mix the characters around after all.That's probably how we can make the characters anons up there think are boring more interesting, by pairing them with someone and see how they interact with him extensively. Make JadeEpel a thing somehow
By the way, regarding popular pairings, I'm curious about Trey/Jade. Are they really a very popular pairing? I've been looking and this pair has many fanfics and doujinshi, more than some other pairs that seem more popular. I'm relatively new to the fandom, over a year, but even looking at Japanese Twitter, I don't see many fans of this couple, I see many more fanarts and fanfics of Trey with Cater and Riddle, and Jade with Azul or Floyd. But judging by the number of doujinshi and even fanfics, there are many of this pairing, so I'm curious if this was a pairing that was more popular in the past and lost popularity, or if I'm not looking correctly?
>>551316365Might be a matter of which pocket of the fandom you're in. I haven't been keeping up in the last couple years, so maybe it's fallen out of favour, but treyjade used to be quite popular back then. Bunch of doujins indeed, they got quite a bit of content on en side too. In fact, I'm pretty sure at some point I complained on these very threads about not being able to read flrd in peace without getting hit with the obligatory background treyjade...
>>551310617>>551303813>>551256725>>551200847>>551104348Cute couples
>>551316365Watch Jade's ceremonial robes vignette. It's on YouTube. That is what made TreyJade so popular when the game first dropped. Back then, the base vignettes of ceremonial/lab/gym/dorm/school uniform were all we had. I don't think they've actually had anything together since then, though, which would explain why it's calmed down.
>>551352540Canon!
>>551312437Jade and Epel have Epel's harveston vignette where they both sneak out of the house late at night to practice sledding and then talk together about Epel's dreams for his village, Jade hurts himself on a thorn, Epel tends to the injury, etc. If it had been LeoRug or TreyCay or RookVil or basically ANYbody else such an intimate moment prolly would've just exploded. But since it was JadeEpel there was no chemistry and no one really cared. JayFlo, JayAzu, JayRid, JayTrey...anybody but Epel would've worked.
>>551345256Cute
>>551348982The sacred texts. And the best part is we know that Yana Toboso did all that art and even wrote some of those vignettes by herself cause they were the first wave of content and so they were seen as super important, so of course when they were brought onto En the localization sucked eggs and had multiple mistakes. Trey's dorm, Cater's PE, Vil's school uniform, etc. Defenders are like "well they were just getting started so they didn't know anything yet" and it's like yeah, exactly, it was just getting started, which is why JP knew to be extra careful cause they were setting the foundation for the entire game. The different standards are hilarious.
>>551348982Who else got launched from those, I know Malleo was a big one. Kind of surprised that AcEpel didn't seem to have much of a following after Epel's ceremonial, or CatEpel after Epel's labwear. With so much potential and so few pickups I guess Epel really is as unpopular as I've seen people say he is.
>>551378126Seriously? But there are Epel fans who like Jack and Deuce, and there weren't that many of them because of the beginning of the game. What do Deuce and Jack have that the others don't? And I got the impression that most people like the dynamics and relationships between Epel and Vil/Rook and Leona/Ruggie, but not romantically, more like Epel being their son and pupil.
>>551382450Yeah Epel comes up sometimes in Pom/Savana senpai conversation I guess. But he’s always kind of the stepchild of those convos.JackEpel and AppleJuice are really the only lasting ships I’ve seen for him, too. Boring suits boring?
>>551383857>senpaiI misspelled “family” so bad that it autocorrected to senpai not sure how to feel about that
Epel is a one-dimensional character that has almost nothing going for and his appeal is weak outside his looks (even in this department he's being beaten by Riddle and Lilia, who are much better shotacon baits) but you know what? that's completely fine. There's bound to be someone at the bottom, both popularity and writing-wise, especially within a main cast that consists of 22 characters. Not everyone is going to be as complex (relatively speaking, for a joseimuke gacha game) as Leona, Jamil and Idia or as entertaining as the octa trio or Rook.
>>551387657I almost want to say that OctaTrio is wasted on being just 1/7th of a joseimuke gacha game cast. Those three, those dynamics, that thing they have going on, they could have their own damn game/manga series/anime/novelization and I would eat it up.But then again maybe they are only so delicious because they are not the main dish. Who knows.
>>551388343I'd pay a fortune to read a sequel (that's not filtered by Disney censoring) about octa trio's after-graduation shenanigans written by Yana herself, I feel like she'd have a lot of fun with it given that she enjoys writing shady characters.
>>551389141Oh my god, Yana without the Disney muzzle. That would truly be a Christmas miracle. Pretty sure all three would be murderers but only Floyd would have ever been convicted for it.
Kuma just announced reprintings of the third Octa manga, the 4koma and the first novel. Perfect timing to drop the third novelization guys. Just. Just saying. Just, yanno. Just saying.
MERRY TWISTMAS EVERYONE! HOHOHO
>>551393047Vilsis how long have you been holding onto that in anticipation of this day
You know how Yana's whole thing is villains. I have thought before how she does an amazing job with kuro, getting people to cheer for the murderous child and freak out over the thought of him being separated from a literal demon. It's like dogville where the end comes up and the lady instructs the guy to kill off the woman's seven children one by one in front of her and you're like "heck yeah," because that's what the woman did to lady's statuettes and you know what happened to lady and the woman deserves it.Reminds me of Twst too. Like there are the more obvious ones, like cheering for the more unapologetic assholes like Leona, but through Kalim she's got people cheering for a literal nepo-baby who would be absolutely, rightfully despised in the real world, all because he's "whimsical."Creating horrible people and getting users to love those horrible people is Yana's whole bit and I love her for it.
The new ai thing on the twt is freaking out all the artists. If anyone knows where people are migrating to don't forget to share with the class.
>>551401174What's the trend now? Bsky?
>>551407530I've seen some wavering about bluesky because apparently it's stupid somehow? Like the algorithm, or how it's set up, or something? Have seen a few JP artists already like "just a reminder, I do have a bluesky account...have posted 8 times in the past year, but it's there..."
>>551401174Bluesky, Misskey, and Taittsuu are ones I've seen people mostly link to these days.
>>551410476Nice. I got accounts on all those and use none of them but flag planted at least I guess.
>>551426803Cute
Merry Christmas!
Happy Desire Day! Is your desire strong that it won't be taken away?
>>551389141>>551390817An interesting idea. I wonder what the future of their lives could be like, especially with Yana having more freedom and writing a darker story. But now I'm thinking about her past works and things she likes, and I'm curious about what the relationship between the three of them could be like, which ship she would choose.
>>551464883The game is heavily JadeAzu coded, to which I respond LALALALA with hands over my ears. Throuple all the way.
>>551449052Uhg. I need a Leona-Yakuza-Boss AU like yesterday.
I had a dream that season two was out. I realized I was dreaming when Deuce referred to Yuuka as “Yuuka” instead of “Yuu” and was like “wait that’s not right.” Brain rot.
>>551464883It's a shame that Yana will never have any free time ever again for the rest of her life. She used to do such cute Kuro doodles and we've had nothing for years, not even on Ciel's birthday or anything. We're never getting cute octadoodles of daily life with fish.
Last chance guesses for new year boys, please no Leona I am saving for the ob I am lionpoor
>>551501657SSR Azul and Epel, that's my final guess
>>551502647Damn. Gonna want that octopus.Also no announcement today, maybe Monday?
I keep getting those bottles of orange from Sam's gacha thing. I don't think I've ever used one in my life. I'm not even real certain what it is that they do. Refill some battle gauge or something I guess.
>>551501657I think will have SSR Epel, but what about the others, maybe Ace? And Lilia or Silver?
>>551526728Ace has a change to get SSR but Lilia and Silver won't because 2/4 of Diasomnia already have SSRs while dorms like Ignihyde and Octavinelle have none.
>>551527572I know, I was thinking about SSR Ace and maybe SR Lilia or Silver, but I'd prefer SR Lilia, and about the Silver, I'd prefer him to have an SSR Card by next year.
>>551527572SSR Ace and SR Silver please, so Ace cand finally have a duo with Silver.
wait the anime came out three years after the hearts manga ended? see ya'll in 2028 for season 2 I
>>551572395Who are these characters?
>>551575452They are from Disney Villains Recruit. Characters exclusive from only Tokyo Disney.https://ceeyuin666.tumblr.com/post/187351255902/disney-villains-recruiting-an-introduction
>>551560143This artist was taken from us too soon, such a loss to the community. Lost to genshit.
Everywhere I look these days there is swiskull and it is the best
>>551527572It'd be wild if they gave SSRs to all of diaso just to fuck with us, like how savanaclaw all got Halloween SSRs in the same series
>>551588983Cute
Book 8 is coming soon! Excited?
>>551437513Very cute
I'm so goddamn dumb. I had like 22k notebooks and was like "surely this isn't normal" and went and looked and so many of my go-to attack cards just never had their spells leveled up. Out here floundering on spell-level-1 overblot azul wondering why I suck.
>>551619523While a Savanaclaw sweep was lovely, it's kind of depressing to remember that they're going to be out of the running for Halloween SSRs for like the next 10 years or whatnot until we complete the cycle of every other character and then loop back.
Looking at run times, was Eternity Float even shorter than the Rapunzel event? But there were hardly any complains about length or content. I guess the Rapunzel event's thing really was just disney-adult whining.
Most of the headwear is find but they sure struggled with Azul's hat. And why does Leona have Michael Mouse ears.
I hope there will be mock-ups of the event outfits at that new exhibition for next year. Would love to see Leona's Fairy Gala look and the Beanfest jackets and stuff made real, that would be amazing.
Sending out vibes that the savanaclaw novel's english won't suck. People praise the hearts novel sometimes and sure, it's not awful, but being a novel author and being a translator require two different skill sets and it was definitely done by a translator, not by an author.
>>551649520I am! Any theories floating around? I like the ones from jp linking Malleus, Lilia and Vil because of how they were positioned in the trailer. Normally I wouldn't think too much of it, but twst has been pretty insane with how they put hints
>>551755097Why would Vil randomly be picked up tho? His thing was Book 6. Diaso will absolutely be involved though. I hope we get more Lilia, we know so much about his past now but he is still weirdly standoffish in the present, to me.
>>551755282Because so far the most common guess is that book 8 will be about Crowley. Crowley, of course, has association with ravens, what with the whole Raven motif and Night Raven College and whatnot. Vil is based off the Evil Queen, who had a pet raven. So it's entirely possible he gets some sort of role based off that alone.Also he's clearly Crowley's favourite so who knows maybe book 8 will be about him kidnapping Vil to make him his new bride or whatever
>>551756171I agree with everything you said about evil queen and crows and being crowley's favorite, 100% true, but I still don't see the game breaking its pattern in order to pick up the dorm leader of Book 5 and leave the rest in the dust.
>>551717484Some might say Jade/Floyd's mom making appearance is more content compared to long haired boys. Because at least it is a new character. Also, the Eternity Float coincides with the June bride month theme for Japan.
>>551757334That's fair. A better comparison might be Port Fest. Also super short, no new characters. I guess that's when they revealed those backgrounds for the first time, but I thought introducing the split-screen thing in the Rapunzel event was pretty cool. And it was just so silly and fun.
>>551756598It might be more a ch7 situation where every character is involved, with Diasomnia being the focus, I argue Riddle is one of those that had a 'special role' that was relatively more standout than the rest. Twst breaking pattern isn't new too, I still see some people bitch that it should've been just Ignihyde and Diasomnia for ch7 like the pattern which has been obsolete since maybe ch5. Remember when people were complaining about hearts having more screen time because of Deuce when it should just be scara back then? These are all just fun speculation though, you gotta admit Vil, Malleus and Lilia being placed oddly is a little weird.
>>551755282>>551756598I will go with the fact Pome is the first dorm ever to be established at NRC, there has to be some deep background related with Crowley and this dorm.
>>551792114Azul's different boyfriends
>>551316365Well, it hasn't been long, this month, that TreyRid finally has more fanfics than Trey/Jade in AO3.
>>551802378Figures that the anime would result in that. TreyRid is really the only pairing that seems believable if all you've seen is season 1 of the cartoon.
Saw someone complaining that Vil's arc doesn't make sense cause he isn't perfect as proven by the fact he has to put effort into his appearance and I remembered why I used to block en accounts on sight
>>551734604Best boy
>>551805608Reminds me of the time I saw a girl gushing over the canon fruits basket pairing like "I don't know why but I just can't imagine her with anybody else, it is just so perfect!!" and it was like dude that's a shoujo, you can't imagine anything else because the narrative was adapted specifically so that you wouldn't imagine anything else and thus be satisfied by the predictable conclusion.Animates adaptations take out all inter-character interactions outside of the barest bones of content, and TreyRid just happened to be what was left over. No I am not a bitter TreyCay shipper I don't know what you mean.
>>551835243I really want Ruggie to go back to the palace with Leona and be this inexplicably untouchable companion who insults the second prince to his face but said second prince will ruin your entire life if you dare disrespect his hyena.
>>551761023>>551767309All right, I guess that kind of makes sense.>some people bitch that it should've been just Ignihyde and Diasomnia for ch7 like the pattern That's dumb.>People were complaining about hearts having more screen time because of Deuce when it should just be scaraThis is also dumb. I hope Yana ignores all of the fandom's dumbass ideas. I know of a mangaka who makes story direction decisions based on Twitter feedback and the day Twst starts doing that is the day all is lost.
>>551767309Everyone banding together to keep Crowley's hands off of Vil is kind of hilarious.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IDIA LOOKS SO HOT AND COOL EVEN ACE LOOKS GOOD??Poor Epel though, yet another event where he doesn't get a SSR kek
>>551869732goddamn I wish Leona was in Ace's banner. Ace looks freaking amazing.
Wow, Ace and Idia's cards are great, so cool! Samurai Idia and Kitsune Ace!
>>551874193I'm starting to see Ace's appeal...>>551874329A shut-in weeb loser shouldn't look this cool
>>551869732The Pome uniform already looks Japanese as fuck so it's fine Epel didn't get one. He can wait until Halloween or a rerun event
>>551874329Mmm hot damn he even painted his toenails!
>>551869732Gloomy Samurai is now a reality.
>>551869732I kneel Yana, this is the first time I want both SSRs
>>551882573Same but I don't have any good Epel card for Ace's buddy and I also want to get NYE Malleus so I'll just go for Idia
>>551870152I like how the fandom is so hyped for Idia and Ace that barely anyone talks about bonbon Lilia. Poor peepaw, he looks very good in black and white though.
>>551900568cute
https://x.com/twisted_rra/status/2005572395390976302As of now, Idia has the most SSRs while Epel has the least.
>>551919858Poor Epel, and that's why I thought he would be the SSR! And now I'm worried about Silver.
Pretty boy
>>551889464That series makes me want chocolate so bad. It's always cute to see people buying mont blanc and stuff to match the cards, Twst influencing purchasing patterns of completely unrelated industries.
>>551874329Idia has gotten two killer SSRs in a row he is too powerful he must be stopped
EN is running on mal, bday mal and new year mal simultaneously. it would be hilarious if the lizardsisters decided to boycott that bullshit.
>>551970850ob mal*
>>551970850They're milking them for all their worth
>>551976565It feels dumb to accuse a gacha game of being greedy because no shit, it's gambling, and they're not doing this for fun, it's disney, everything they do is for money.But since we've got the direct comparison of JP server where they're not pulling this shit it's like, nah, it really is that they're just greedy.
>>551875985Ace will get you when you least expect it. Just hanging out, minding your own business and then suddenly "holy shit that was the base art of his playfulland card? damn. Damn. Damn."
>>551870152DUO with riddle this is gonna be cute
Opinions on the EN fandom survey results?https://x.com/RoseEmberr/status/2005880688441020620I didn't expect Riddle to dominate so many rankings but I guess that's the anime's influence for you.
>>552001045Interesting, I'm happy that Ace made it into the Top 5 in relation to Yumes. It sometimes annoys me how some Western fans talk about him and make jokes about him! But I can't see the complete list of ships. I'm curious about the list and the top. Do you have the complete list? And it's interesting how Rook/Vil and Vil/Rook are both in the Top 5.
>>552001684Here: https://privatter.me/page/692a55963a01dpassword is 2025FAN_TWST
>>552002723Thanks
>>552001045I love true people who voted for the game’s player character just like “I am my own favorite, actually”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HfcVmM_Cps
>>552001045>Only 31% only play the mobageSounds about right. Also guess the anime was successful in bringing in a chunk of new fans, just not seen here .
>>552005528Guys skip to 2:06 I think that Jamil is an actual man. Even if not they are fuckn on point, best of the group, absolutely stellar.Also the Ruggie is adorable beauté 100 points etc.
>>552004674Voting for the voices in their own head>>552006018This is so weirdly depressing what do you mean 1/3rd of people don’t know anything but the manga and the other 1/3rd only know the anime. Can’t imagine choosing the objectively worst version of a thing but that’s anime fans for you I guess.
>>552001045Holy fuck, I knew that Jack is unpopular but never would I have thought that he's so unpopular that even Skully, Grim and fucking Chenya have more fans.
>>552002723Wasn't jamikali one of the most popular, if not, THE most popular ship in the en fandom? Has everyone collectively decided to cancel it this year or what? Anyway, I'm happy that jamiazu keeps growing in popularity.
>>552019356It's popular, but many Western fans really hate this ship. Don't you know? There's a lot of hate towards this couple; many fans think it's wrong and problematic, like some American fans consider it a "proship" or something like that.
>>552006018Not quite. Using a pie chart for the data is misleading because you could pick multiple options, and most people did. A bar graph would have been better.In the OP they say they got 2769 responses. 2631 people said they play the game. That's 95%.
>>552001045It's interesting how Rook is so low on this list of characters, as if he weren't popular, but on the list of ships, he and Vil are twice in the Top 5 most popular couples! Does that mean that he as a character isn't popular, but his ship with Vil is one of the most popular?
>>552047123Yeah pretty much, Rock is something of an acquired taste so I'm not surprised by his placement but him and Vil are the closest thing Twst has to a gay canon couple so of course this ship is popular.
>>552049595*Rook lol
>>552001045Regarding the results in the polls about the songs, it's interesting to compare the positions in this poll with the views on the songs on YouTube.https://yuurei20.tumblr.com/post/804303884130648064/with-the-release-of-heartslabyuls-obedience
>>552058895I'm convinced that EN's obsession with Far Out is a political thing somehow. They want the brown boys with the funky music to be the most popular whether they personally actually like the song or not. Views don't lie, though.
>>552005528Cosplay dance groups always have me questioning my sexuality.
>>552060864I don't understand, you don't like this song? Far Out is one of my favorites.
>>552069928It's my least favorite and I don't understand the hype. Futaba sounds great in it but he sounds great in everything. And that's...all I got. What do you like about it?
>>552070359I don't know what to explain? I like the music, the lyrics, and the voices. I find it very lively, and I love the contrast between Kalim and Jamil and their respective lyrics.
>>552070472That's nice. The music is fine, the lyrics aren't anything special. The lady who made the song said that the lyrics are less important in it than the music because the priority was making a dancing song. "Do you want treasure whenever you want" isn't exactly deep, but that's by design. It's "lively" because it's a dance song, that doesn't automatically mean "good," just "high energy."
2026 is around the corner, what do we expect this year for twst?
>>552071824Is there anyone who legitimately expects season 2 to come out this year, I wonder. Season 1 didn't release until three years after the final manga volume came out. Which, for Savanaclaw, means the three-year countdown hasn't even started yet.
>>552072073They might've started work on all 3 seasons not far apart from each other though. Why would they wait till after the manga is finished to start, something anime historically doesn't do
>>552073419I dunno mine why did they announce the anime 5 years before it actually came out, go ask them
>>552071824Book 8 SSRs for the remaining first years
>>552074519Isn't that just Epel, Ace, Deuce, Jack? It's so weird that they're the only ones without Book 7 SSRs. What kind of a pick up is that. What is going on. What.
>>552072073Maybe like, two years. Season II, 2027.
Sisters I swear I'm not a fatfag but the concept of being a housewife and feeding my husband everyday is kinda... you know, right? R-Right? The chubbiness is only a consequence of how much I love him...
>>552093752>I swear I'm not a fatfagdoubtBut whatever gets you off anon, you do you
>>552074960It's because 1st years are going to play major roles in the next book sadly for me
>>552099837Nooo don't let it be so. I play this game for the angry, sassy, violent and spiteful older students not the fucking "that wouldn't be fair we have to do the right thing" bitch-ass first years.
I got 100 rolls and some money to spend, gonna get me a weeb and a foxy slut
>>552104614You have all my envy, Anon. How I wish I could afford the foxy slut.
Rolled a 10-key on the Gloomurai banner for the lion and got spooked by my first dorm Idia.
TL is blowing up with screenshots of Leona's bare feet, this fandom I swear to god, I love it
Spending my new year's eve rereading the whole 4koma thanks again /twst/ scanlating team
>>552103392This but unironically
>>552103392The Mickey investigation squad is getting babysat by Malleus and Lilia so we've got them at least. I hope everyone else joins the sleepover it'd be a waste of the pajamas if they don't
>>552120087We need the whole school shoved into Ramshackle together in their jammies. The first-years plus Kalim, minus Ace get locked the basement. Ace can sleep on the floor in a room with Jamil, Floyd, Azul and Jade. Diasomnia in another room, Savanaclaw in another room, Vil in a private room with Rook sleeping in the hallway just outside it, Riddle, Trey and Cater having a threeway in the attic, Idia and Ortho playing video games downstairs.
I admit I still don't understand why some people here don't like Kalim and the First Year students, but well, everyone has their own taste, right? And I'm curious, what do you think will happen when all the boys for the New Year's cards are finished? Will they start a new series or not?
>>552125078> Will they start a new series or not?Counter question: Why wouldn't they?
>>552125078>don't like Kalim I don't dislike him, my feeling towards Kalim are mostly neutral>1st yearsBecause most of them are boring, one-dimensional (Epel, Jack, Deuce to a lesser extent but I do like him) or/and annoying (Ace, Sebek to most people).
>>552125254Well, what do you think the new theme could be? What kind of clothes could they wear afterwards? Since they've already done Japanese New Year's and traditional kimonos.
>>552129231Man I don't know, Yana knows what I want for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I'll leave that up to the people getting paid to come up with ideas for this silly thing.Maybe they'll finally do personal clothes or something. A big part of the New Years event thing though is giving a chance for all the characters to overlap with each other so they can't just scatter to the wind and have "this is what it is like at Leona's house during winter break" stories or something where no one interacts with anyone else.
>>552133708Loving demon kitsune Ace
Aaaand midnight
>>552143181Damn, so close
>>552134590>>551874193I'm loving all the Kitsune Ace and Deuce fan art! It's funny, fox Ace with rabbit Deuce, I'd already seen several fan arts of Ace and Deuce as Nick and Judy, and now Ace as a fox has made Japanese fans very happy, and I've even seen people asking when there will be a Zootopia-based event! They should have Ace and Deuce as SSRs at this event, dressed as Nick and Judy, fox and rabbit, right?
>>552146148I'd love for there to be a Zootopia event
>>552168940I agree!
Happy new year, /twst/!
>>552116432Why his? We already know what his feet look like.
I deadass had a dream that the third novel was announced. In a newspaper for some reason. I kept checking back again and again to make sure it was true and trying to figure out how to take a photo with the right lighting and then going to post about it and then being like no wait, check one more time to be sure, no one is gonna believe this.
>>552195063Are you the person who's always talking about novel 3? Did you have a dream that the book was announced? Don't worry, it will be released alongside the third season of the anime.
>>552186545Happy new year! Can't believe we're starting it off with bare feet discourse
>>552201379Thank you positivity anon, looking forward to the year 2032 when we get both season 3 and novel 3 together.
ace the most popular character in the yume pollhttps://note.com/_ui12/n/n9e14a6234e87
>>552208512They don't mention how they got these results or how many people were surveyed, do that? That is kind of sus as fuck, for all we know it's their own personal opinions.
>>552208512>Ace>Idea>Leona>Malleus>Octa trio>SkullyNot surprised in the slightest>TreyThe discrepancy between his japanese and western popularity is so funny to me>SilverSeems like book 7 has boosted his popularity a lot, Silver also fared well in that en character ranking this year>SwingWow, glad they also love the shady ojisan over there
>>552208512Deucesisters..
>>552211046There could be only one Friends to Lovers partner.
Year of the Horse, will the members of the Equestrian Club gain spotlight?
>>552125078Fictional characters can get away with almost everything, because their crimes don't hurt anyone. The only things they can't get away with are being boring or annoying.
>>552208512Not surprised at all, book 7 successfully boosted him in both fandoms. Surprising Silver made it, didn't seem like he had anything fanservicey in that aspect. Actually seems like twst characters had a bigger turnout this time.
>>552210642>glad they also love the shady ojisan over thereI think JP is way hornier for swing than what I've seen of EN. A bunch of monster fuckers. Truly based.
>>552220818They already got it
>>552208512I don’t see they ranked them, where are you getting that?
>>552208512>unnumbered list of the whole 100 What psychopath is in charge of this website
Are groovies still locked, I wanted to see more Samurai Idia.
>>552251831anon do you know why groovies are locked in the first place
>>552189309I love how they were like "now that our entire userbase is hot for Leona boobs let's throw them a curveball: inner thigh."
Went to twt to grab a pic and got so distracted by leona fanart I forgot what I was doing there
>>552224375Silver has always seemed to be lowkey always on the Yume radar from what I could tell. He’s real yumebait just as he is, was just waiting on book 7 to make him relevant.
>>552294643I'm an idiot, that's why there was a sudden influx in equestrian club art
>>552312093Because it's the Year of the Horse. Like last year was Year of Snake, so there was lot of Jamil art popping up at the start of 2025.
>>552259820I did not see the thigh coming. Consider my world rocked. Twst never stops surprising.
>>552353557If Malleus is from an otome game then Leona is from an eroge
Got Union Lilia on the free 20-roll. Love this system to death, never would've gotten so many of the birthday cards series without it.
I see people like "can't wait to see Yuuna animated" and "Season 7 is going to be amazing" and whatnot and for some reason I have not been more sure about anything in the world than the fact that we are never getting anything past season 3. I keep my mouth shut cause it's not like I can prove it, and maybe there will be a literal miracle and we'll at least get to 4, who knows.But I just can't shake the feeling that it is never gonna happen and everytime I see stuff like that it's like, sweet summer child. We are never seeing Lilia's dream animated. It's just not gonna happen.
About two more weeks and it's manga time again. I wonder if there will be a pom-manga in 2026 or nah. A lot is dance practice but unless they cut out Epel' character arc or something I can't see it fitting in three volumes.
I am so glad they put third years and first years together for new year. It's unexpected but so much more interesting when they can all bitch at each other as equals instead of going through the big brother/little brother dynamics.
Pixiv, now Popipiku, it's getting hard for Eastern artist to post their works. I see people moving to Xfolio, but can't save their works. Even when I force Inspect Element, I can't save the full image size.
Bump
>>552400658What happened this time?
>>552415513Poipiku changed their terms of use. No more dicks allowed.
>>552400658Are you sure? One of my fav people just moved over there and I'm able to download their stuff full size without issue.
>>552438482Really? Can you tell me how, please?
>>552441590I, uh, right clicked. "Save image" was an option. Also "open in new tab," which opened it in full size.
>>552441969It won't let me right click anything. Which browser are you using? I'm on Brave with adblocker. I can't save anything from xfolio. Is your account from Japan when you signed up? Here's the image I want to savehttps://xfolio.jp/portfolio/pineapple6huza/works/3835146
>>552442829Oh now this is interesting, the person whose stuff I was looking at is completely different. Maybe the site allows you to set whether or not you want people to be able to download or something? Here is who I was looking athttps://xfolio.jp/portfolio/itakuSEP/works/1148112Your person, you can expand it to full size with that tool they have but can't save it, you're right. You'd have to take screenshots in pieces and then knit it together if you wanted it in full size.
>>552446220Shit. Doing the screenshot part is a pain if the image is twice its size. And the one you linked, I can do full image, but I still can't right-click or anything. Even Inspect Element to get links like this, it won't let me save.https://xfolio.jp/fullscale_image?image_id=10180293&work_id=1148112
>>552448678Ok that is odd. I can't right click or anything on the link you just sent of this same picture, but I can on the link I sent. Here is screen-proof.
We're gonna hit image limit again cause none of us wanna talk to each other
I'm gonna miss the new years cards once they've over. The event itself is boring but everyone got a unique outfit, groovy art, and some cool battle animations.By the way, the game needs to add an event/series filter for the cards. Once you have too many cards it's a pain scrolling through them.
>>552423975Azul gets the pass because his merform has black skin. He's too scared to pronounce the hard R, though.
>>552481514I wonder if we'll get a filter like that in the next update in March. It's always fun to see en get all excited with updates in january that jp got the previous year, and then two months later jp gets updates that blow everything out of the water.
I wonder if we're going to get a new mini-event thing after the Master Chef reruns are through. I'd love an art class minigame.
>>552492821Something like ancient incantations seems like it could be made into a puzzle game or something. Or animal linguistics. A week-long event where you get to do different classes at NRC, flight and music and stuff. Probably a big ask, though.
>>552425053Saw a thing going around on twt of the poipiku CEO? I think? Being like “I fucken told them this was a bad idea, goddammit, lemme talk to them again” so maybe might get retconned. Assuming that’s what I saw, I could be confused, it wouldn’t be the first time.
Uuhhhg over three months until best boy's bday
>>552492821I would love swimming class as a theme, cards and minigame.
>>552508961Oh god swim classYanaYana pls
>>552508961>>552512879You know that one Yana quote about how she designed a line of winter uniforms but implementation missed the deadline so they just never got introduced? I wonder of we'll ever get to see those or if Twst's designs have evolved too much since 2020 so stuff made back then just got scrapped.
>>552442829You want this pic, anon?https://files.catbox.moe/a9j2za.png
>>552521720Yes, thank you, Anon! I don't know why I can't save from xfolio.
>>552523849Coz it blocks right-click. Powerless before my browser add-ons, of coursehttps://webextension.org/listing/allow-right-click.html
>>552524193Thank you for this, Anon!
>>552504024>Uuhhhg over three months until best boy's bdayTrue, April 9th is more than 3 months away.
So we agree that Yana's favorite dorms is in this order, right?Heartslabyul > Diasomnia > Pomefiore > Octavinelle > Ignihyde > Scarabia > Savanclaw
>>552534962I'm curious, why do you think it's in this order? Why is Idia so low? And Octavinelle has the twins, and I think Yana loves twin characters! And Scarabia, I still think Kalim/Jamil is one of the pairs that interacts the most with each other, besides Jamil with Azul, which would increase their ranking? Or not?
>>552508961They wouldn't have the balls to put your boy in a speedo
>>552555387>Kalim as a minionof course
>>552533035I keep forgetting Vil and Sir Ruggington share a birthday month
Thank you EN for the free SR card I already have every single one maxed out and the perfume is useless but the thought counts
>>552539515>HeartslabyulYana is a shotacon, she obviously likes Riddle (aka red Ciel) a lot and she herself has admitted to having a soft for this dorm since it's the first one she has created>DiasomniaMalleus is the poster boy, probably the most plot relevant dorm, contains many elements she's into >PomefioreVil is obviously Yana's wish-fulfillment character and you can tell she has a lot of fun writing the interactions between the three of them (esp. between Vil and Rook)>OctavinelleShe loves writing shady characters doing immoral stuff>IgnihydeShe seems to like gloomy introvert guys that look like vkei singers>ScarabiaLikes writing about brown boys having complicated power dynamic relationships but this isn't probably among her absolute favorite tropes>SavanclawNever got the feeling she's into jocks or animal boys for that matter plus Savanclaw has easily the worst-written chapter
>>552572915I am convinced that Jamil is one of her favorites too. He is all over magical archives and there is that interview where a disney exec said that the first two characters that she pitched to them when trying to get hired for the project were Ace and Jamil.
>>552572915Savanaclaw being some throwaway outlier is so funny with how stupidly popular Leona is. "They play sportsball or whatever, one is muscley and obnoxious, one is the greatest character in all of literature and one is the sexiest creature alive. That's all I got." And that dynamic carried them through the worst chapter in the story and straight to #2 after Malleus because of course.
>>552552041It would have to be like the sleepwear where everyone is personalized even though swimwear is ostensibly a uniform because that be how it do.Speedos for Cater, Jack, Floyd, Rook, Sebek.I don't make the rules.
>>552534962Yana loves all her children equally
>>552601865Saw someone claim that Yana doesn't even remember the twst characters and I wanted to be like sir, one of the things she does for the manga adaptations is make sure that the characters are represented correctly and accurately to their personalities. She is literally paid to know these characters better than anyone else. It is her job. She even did a personality check for the 4koma, which is just silliness and could have been as inaccurate as it wanted, but no, they made her do it anyway. I don't understand why some eners like spreading false info that yana isn't 120% invested in this thing, when she obviously is.
>>552524193See this is weird cause I can right-click fine with no add-ons, just virgin chrome
JPsisteres have been comparing Ruggie to Timone today but I just don't see it
Oh damn next birthday is Malleus. I bet he is going to look freaking amazing in this new series.
>>552607395because this is disney after all
>>552625225disney doesn't know jack shit about the characters, they even said in that one article that they don't. They said they let the seiyuu make calls on voice direction cause the seiyuu know the characters better than they do.
>>552628624> they let the seiyuu make calls on voice directionfor the anime by the way, not for the game, cause yana is the one telling them what to do for the game. and telling the sound director what to do. this is yana after all.
>>552635848How did they end up like this?
>>552644847Promise of hot octo sex
Spent 20 bucks and could not get Ace, only Idia…do they rerun NY banners?
>>552687029This year I swear to god I am screenshotting every banner in the Anniversary campaign so I can finally answer questions like this properly.Right now I have no idea. I was under the impression that the anniversary campaign reruns basically everything but probably not?
>>552715650I like to think that Trein took Vargas' hat for Lucius
Shoutout to the jpsis who posted nothing but "Good morning" and then four screenshots of chibi-Leona thighs.
I love how they tried something so new and different for New Year's this time, the game show thing is so Japan and so much fun.
>>552700806Speaking of, anyone have anybody they're gunning for for the anniversary?I have been lusting after Cerberus Ortho for like three years now but every time the anniversary comes along there is something else I absolutely must have and I can never get him. Same for this year. I'm gonna be 80 years old by the time I'm finally rolling for that damn card.
>>552687029JP just announced a Rerun of NY Lizard and Wolf so looks like you should be good for next yearhttps://x.com/twst_jp/status/2008101392679157976
F2P is a rough life I'm already stressing about leona's OB being released too late to save up again for his birthday in July. Hitting the rhythmic mines.
>>552742892Me but on the EN server because I want to roll for so many future cards (anniversary, loungewear Azul, clubwear Idia, OB Malleus/Idia/Azul/Riddle) but I have a bit less than 200 rolls and my account is no longer that farmable so either I break my f2p status or give up on some cards (will probably do that with OB Malleus).
>>552785515So would Fellow/Ernesto get Ignihyde and Swing having Scarabia?
Gump
>>552693724Nice
>>552785515I wonder if the teachers secretly have favorite dorms. Aside from Crowley being obsessed with Vil. You'd think Crewel would be fond of Savanaclaw for having so many animal dudes in it. Also is that supposed to be baby kitten lucius, that is great.
Somebody please remind me how the anniversary banners work as I'm a returnee to EN after 2 years gone and I can't find the info clearly stated online.I want NY Rook, but I'll only have 80 pulls by the time his rerun completes in a few weeks. Am I understanding correctly that it's better for me to just wait for anniversary when I can pull 100 times because there will be an anniversary token exchange that allows me to just get the card, guaranteed?
>>552818342I believe it is actually 150 pulls for enough coins to get the event SSR pick unfortunately. 100 is for dorm/birthday pick. So are ya feeling lucky or spending extra?
>>552822913Blegh. I see that he was in the pick pool for JP's 5th anni, so I guess I'll skip on having him this year and save for a later year.I missed out on his dream and club cards while I was gone, too, so I need to save for those in case they randomly spring reruns.Thank you!
Ace ranking 17th in another boyfriend poll, when will this madman be stopped?
>>552832485I’m enjoying the eners like “did we miss some big thing in the story where Ace did something huge or??” nah man it’s just demographics, the foreigners like the dragon with the mind of a toddler and the locals like the sassy basketball boy, it’s not that deep, we can all be friends.
I wonder if they're gonna do a Leona-leg feature in his groovy or go in the opposite direction and have his back entirely to the camera or something just to mock us.
>>552841614I hope he's as pretty in the anime as he was in the manga. Beautiful lion man.
>>552832485So many gorgeous boys in twst and nip sisters desire the generic KH protagonist look-alike the most lol
>>552851865In defense, he is a cutie
>>552856418Not a fan but I can see his boyish charm
>>552858539He's got some of the best lines in the game. I'm not an Acesis but sometimes the expressions he makes, the dialogue he has, that top tier voice acting, sometimes I wonder why I'm not. Probably because this game buries you in gorgeous men.
Is this how jpnsisters see Trey?
>>552871232Is Trey considered one of the most muscular guys? I think so. If you guys were to make a ranking and list of the most muscular guys, who would they be?
>>552872548Was it ever stated or even implied that Trey is muscular? I thought it's purerly a fanon thing.
>>552882087Maybe fanon considering people think him having to bake, be it carrying pounds of flour or gardening, he would have some muscle.
>>551464883If Yana wrote octa trio without the Disney Censor, I feel like it would have been in a similar way to this artist:https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/72488666
>>552899842What are they looking at? And why cover Riddle's eyes?
>>552882087He has a voiceline somewhere, I think his pe uniform? About how he did soccer because his parents wanted him to gain muscle for baking, so it has been mentioned at least once. There was a good bit of people comparing the thickness of his and Cater's arms during firelit sky.
>>552911943>What are they looking at? You can see the reflection on them>And why cover Riddle's eyes?Because he's pure
>>552922130Idia's lightsaber katana really is the closest thing we have for Star Wars reference in TWST.
>>552925615Maybe the tweels will kiss each other and then we'll have another reference
>>552925615Did you forget Silver's light saber and him losing it when he found out who his biological dad was
>>552929665Is Kalim jar-jar binks
Dying to see these groovies aahhI can't imagine that Ace's will surpass his base art though, that card is top tier, up there with Fairy Gala ortho.
>>552922130Actually kind of surprised that this is the first non-idia lightsaber fanart I've seen. The algorithm gives me nothing but lion leg. This is a feature, not a bug.
Damn thought this update was gonna be Malmal's bday but still too soon for that
>>552970308Sexy
I'd be willing to bet that all the guys doing mob voices and stuff in the game are people who auditioned for the main cast and didn't get in. "I auditioned for Ace, Ruggie and Sebek and got a callback for Savanaclaw Student #2 instead" etc.
>>552970308nice
>>552985326Ah, a die. Azul's worst enemy.
Was this year's New Year's event bigger than previous ones? I wonder what next year's will be like, since they'll manage to make it bigger and more fun, especially as it might be the "last" one in this style.
>>552946225I agree, I think this Ace card is the prettiest he's ever had. Both Idia and Ace had great New Year's cards! And I admit I'm curious about the characters' groovies. I wonder if Idia will have him getting an ice water bath?
>>553021312When are the groovies going to be available btw, on the last of the event?
>>553026332Yup. I looked up the date for you anon it says january 14th.
The hottest TW men (and Fellow)
Actually can't stand not having NY Rook so I'm going to start playing JP and save for their anniversary. Been meaning to start for a while anyways as a backup in case EN ever goes kaput. Not like I can't read JP.Unrelated, you guys got any favorite TWST artists on Pixiv? Since Twitter's going down the drain.
>>553042901What's your flavor? I got a lot of people bookmarked but it's a lot of fish porn and Malleo
>>553042901Didn't Pixiv have its policy changes too that makes it hard to post art there as well? So much censorship left and right on JP sites in recent times....
>>553051701I dunno how strict that's going though, I was looking up lizard art on pixiv the other day and there were uncensored dicks everywhere
>>553051241As a dorm I find fish the most entertaining, also generally like seeing rarepairs. Artists with a sense of humor are a plus. I'll eat pretty much anything, though.
https://www.pixiv.net/users/973610This person's fish doujin are among my all-time favorites
>>553061676Floaz representationhttps://www.pixiv.net/users/1349457
My favorite rare(ish) duo. I love how anmoying Azul is with Jamil and how much Jamil can't stand him.Jamil and Leona are also great, when Books 6 and 7 came out, the talks between Jamil and Leona reminded why I love twst. Of course Jamil should paired with his senior in being a bitter bitch by birth.Kalim and Jamil could be interesting, but most of their shippers go for the most boring possible versions of the characters. Jamil isn't fun when he's fuwa-fuwa all the time...
>>553066698I think there needs to be more tiers to "rare pair" classification cause in my opinion JamiAzu is not rare. It is everywhere. There is a thread on the reddit right now about rarepairs and people are putting fucken "TreyCay".Basic Pair: TreyCayMid Pair: JamiAzuRare Pair: CayRug
>>553067103Fair enough. I don't hang around in fan spaces much so I'll admit only the most ubiquitous ships probably float past me, making everything else feel rare by comparison.Trying to hazard a guess at what an actual rare pair I like would be... Maybe Idia and Silver. Skittish shut-in x oblivious hunk + future father-in-law is your gamer pal = comedy?You got anything to present to the class?
>>553067895Nope, IdiSil is everywhere because of Silver's ceremonial robes vignette where Idia watches him sleep, and how Idia can't stop talking about how pretty Silver is. Which is fair.I've seen Cayrug in like, one fanfic in my life and never got over it, so I am maybe bitter. Also JamiRug. And JeiCay. RugDeu.More people need to be fucking Ruggie is maybe what I'm getting at.
>>553068412Kek, I'm giving up in that case.Also don't think I've seen Ruggie paired with anybody outside of Savanaclaw, now that you mention it. Unless you count Rook sexually harrassing Ruggie with Leona around, which I don't.
>>553070208Yeah Ruggie keeps it inside the family for some reason. He shouldn't, cause nothing in the entire game makes more sense than Ruggie shagging people for money, but for some reason people keep him with Leona and Jack. Not complaining, those can be damn hot, but there is so much potential in letting him be the prostitute he is meant to be. And I have no doubt he would canonically be if it weren't for the Disney filter.
>>553072089You make a solid argument here for whore Ruggie but I think the obvious conclusion thereafter is x mobs or x teacher, not Ruggie sleeping his way around the named students (and even then, he's got his primo customer at home with Leona kek).
>>553073107That is very true. Unfortunately I'm not big on mobs/original characters in my fanslop. I'm glad everyone is having a nice time, but I can't get into it. But Azul paying Ruggie to fuck the twins to see if they can't seduce some sensitive information out of him about his clientele? Jamil paying Ruggie to climb in through his window for a quick fuck cause god knows Jamil can't have any normal relationships and is absolutely pent up? Ruggie invoicing Leona every month for laundry, cooking, and all-night sexcapades? Cater renting Ruggie for a few hours to make Trey jealous?That kinda thing is my jam.
>>553067103Jamiazu is a bit of a rare-ish pair in JPN although it's starting to get more and more noticed there as well. On that note, I've seen someone mentioning Azul/Riddle in that reddit thread... do they know the difference between RARE and UNDERRATED?
>>553074254> the difference between RARE and UNDERRATEDThat might be the problem. It is taking all my self control to not slide in there with "acshually, the numbers on these pixiv search results are proof that you're full of shit," but it's not worth the battle. At least they're not talking about fucking Yuusonas for once,
>>553074254The JP vs EN differences in ship popularity had crossed my mind as well; I only look at JP on the rare occassions I venture out into the general fandom so that might also be skewing what I think of as rare.After reading your post I went to AO3 for investigation and never have I ever felt so divorced from a fandom.>No.1 Kalim/JamilI get it because it's low-hanging fruit, surprised it's beating out all of the other low-hanging fruit.>No.2 Floyd/Riddle Would have guessed middle pairing at best? That none of the intra-Octavinelle pairings appear in the top 10 actually baffles me.>Malleus/ReaderGives me a headache. I saw "Malleus thinks he's in an otome" once and thought they were joking but maybe that really is how most of EN views him.>>553065890Very cute...Whenever I see jeiazu or floazu cohabitation, it does make me laugh thinking about where the other twin is on his lonesome.
>>553073515>Jamil paying Ruggie to climb in through his window for a quick fuck cause god knows Jamil can't have any normal relationships and is absolutely pent upOh, you're cooking something nice.I could get into Kalim/Jamil that maintains the undercurrent of coercion (unbeknownst to Kalim) because of their roles. Meanwhile, Jamil is having paid sex with Ruggie on the side to gain back the sense of control in his life.
>>553078253>No.1 Kalim/JamilGod that really is depressing.>Malleus/Reader>maybe that really is how most of EN views him.Half of them seem to be aware that it's a tongue-in-cheek fandom joke but the other half think that the first half is serious, and they wholeheartedly believe it. I would bet that the those who take it literally are also the more immature half as well, either physically, mentally or both.
>>553080076Tbh, I always attributed Malleus's proportionally greater popularity in EN compared to JP to adult Westerner fans who are more anxious around selfshipping with underaged characters. Circling back to >>552837420 , I guess.
>>553081316That explains why the westerns get real defensive real quick when you talk about Malleus' mental immaturity. The characters call him a child, his own seiyuu calls him a child, he acts like a child, but you point out that his whole schtick is being a dragon-child in the body of an adult-looking man and you will get real downvoted real quick. The game and Malleus himself says "things are sometimes the opposite of what they appear to be" and EN will be like "yes of course, that is the theme of the game, applicable to all the characters except Malleus, who is a legal, grown, mature and definitely-not-a-minor adult whom I can ship with my beautiful princess OC Mary Sue without feeling weird about it."
>>553080076Malleyuu and self shipping with him being so rampant in en depresses me so much when they mischaracterise him always and he has so much more potential with the actual cast. >>553082369I like your points but a character being childish and immature doesn't mean he's a child too. Lots of other characters are childish and immature in their own ways, even Leona. I think both people who go through hoops to justify their self shipping and the people insisting Malleus is a LITERAL MINOR!!! are kinda dumb
>>553087365Nah not a literal minor but not the handsome, stoic, mature and adult dragon prince that they've made up in their heads, either. The guys are all a bunch of whiny teens and that's a part of the charm.There was a thing out and about the other day of people insisting that all the characters could be aged up two years to make them all legal adults and it would be exactly the same and it's like no, actually, Ace being a bratty 16/17 year old is super important, the characters are those ages for a reason. But the americans prefer to gaslight themselves into thinking the people who made the game are the ones who are wrong, actually.If they don't want to consume media that makes them feel weird then they need to stay the hell away from media by Yana cause that is her whole thing. She walks into a room like "This is going to be weird, I am going to make this weird," and you just gotta roll with it. That is what we're here for.
I find it funny that some people here dislike Jamil/Kalim and praise Azul/Jamil, since this is a very common opinion within the Western fandom. Many American fans hate Jamikal and Leona/Ruggie; both pairings receive a lot of hate, and many Western fans consider these couples disgusting and wrong. It's very common for people to praise JamiAzu and hate Jamil with Kalim or Leona with Ruggie because they consider it wrong.Just like some people like Ruggie with Kalim or even with Silver, which I've seen in several fanfics, but I think it's because they ignore the possibility of Ruggie with Leona because they think it would be wrong.
>>553089590With JamiKali being No.1 on AO3 that sounds like a bunch of people virtue signalling and lying to themselves. Writing paragraphs about power imbalances and statutory rape in public and then gooning to the nepo-baby master fucking his indentured servant in private.
>>553089590You're right about JamiAzu being deemed as more 'appropiate' than JamiKali by eners but I myself prefer the former because they look good together and I find their relationship dynamic hot, it has nothing to do ethics.
>>553090474I just can't get behind JamiAzu. I dunno if the problem is Jamjam legit hating Azul so much or just cause I can't imagine Azul sexiness with anybody but the twins or what. Maybe I'm just a basic bitch like that.
>>553090621Jamil genuinely loathing Azul is part of the appeal lol although it seems that his hatred towards Azul is starting to subside after witnessing his dream? Too soon to fully tell at this point.Azul is my fandom bike so I personally have no issues in shipping him with various people.
>>553091305Book 7 was apparently great for people who can't read, I saw people reporting rumors that Jamil called Azul his friend and that JamiAzu became canon. I wish I had poor reading comprehension skills, those people always seem so happy. Or unreasonably angry about things that never happened. One or the other.
>>553091708>Jamil not grimacing or being hostile towards Azul for once>'OMG THEY'RE CANON NOW'Yeah I've seen similar reactions as well... that one moment from book 7.5 was indeed a slight progress in their relationship but as usual, some of the fujos are jumping the gun.
>>553089879But in the Twitter poll, JamiAzu has many more votes than JamiKali! But I think the people who write fanfiction aren't the same ones who post it on the internet or on Twitter, because I've noticed this in other fandoms too. Many people can hate a couple a lot and complain a lot, but this ship has many fanfics and fanarts. For example, many people from Blue Lock hate Kaiser/Isagi a lot, they never stop talking about how much they hate this ship and are always complaining in fanarts and fanfics, but it's still the ship with many fanfics.
>>553091305I've never seen any hate for JamiAzu, on the contrary, it's highly praised by the Western fandom and considered the most appropriate, correct, and moral.
>>553092058I love me some BL so I've always identified as a fujo but twst fans have me questioning myself. I don't actually believe any of it is or will be canon or anything close, I just like fish porn. I don't even want it to become canon, that would fuck up so many dynamics. Fujofail I guess. Or maybe I'm just not fourteen.
>>553093102Fandoms are always full of self hate. Idia's characterization is spot on. We all hate ourselves while simultaneously believing we are the smartest and only ones right about anything and anyone kinkier than us is amoral but anyone more prude than us is a freak.
>>553093193Anon, what does that have to do with my post?
Knight x Queen doesn't get anymore disney than that does it
>>553091305This is it for me, too. Jamil has his issues with Kalim as well, but for my personal tastes, Kalim isn't as entertaining about pissing Jamil off as Azul. This is why I like Jamil with Leona as well, since Leona's deliberately getting under his skin and hitting pain points.
>>550323029I needed to practice so I drew the hyena boy
>>553118468Cute, nice one anon
I don't remember when the next chapter of the Scarabia manga is supposed to be released.
>>553151986Same time it's always released. The 18th.
>>553113335Yeah LeoJami is criminally underrated, there is so much potential there. I wish there had been just a little more reference to the evolution of their relationship in Book 7, it was mostly Jamil being justifiably pissed off and Leona being happy to piss him off, but Jamil was also juggling Kalim and Malleus at the time so can't really blame him for acting in character in a stressful situation not being made any less stressful by Leona Kingscholar trying to flirt at the worst possible time.
Leona Kingscholar was born to be a slutty, bitchy, lazy bottom no matter who you pair him with and I won't see him in any other configuration.
>>553164526You see I did not realize that this was the majority opinion for a long time. I thought it was only natural that Leona was railing Malleus as is the natural order of things, but the sheer volume of fanart told me I was wrong.Also there is a lot of stuff of Ruggie railing Leona, and I was not prepared for that.
>>553164526You don't have to remind me that I'm part of the sad minority who prefer to see him top Malleus...
>>553171291>>553170957I don't care about Malleo...Honestly the only reason I dislike Leona fucking Ruggie is that a lot of that art turns Leona into a roidpig and Ruggie into a waifish shota and neither of them look like that.
>>553173283That's fair. I also don't like it when people turn Ruggie into a shota, he's malnourished and scrawny and wiry and weirdly proportioned but he's still 17, not 12.Also just realized my favorite leomal artist has been lost to genshin goddammit
>>553174253Exactly, he's on the smaller side and cute, but in a scrawny way that aligns with his scummy traits in a way that just being a wooby little shota doesn't.And my condolences... Many such cases...
>>553159029>>553113335LeJam. The potential.
>>553173283>>553171291>>553164526>>553170957where do you even find twst porn
>>553184358Have you heard the good news of our lord and savior pixivWhen I started in twst the first thing I did was go through the tags on all my favorite pairings and drop $300 on doujinshi by the best artists I could find.
>>553184358Pixiv like the other anon said, Twitter too through poipiku. Haven't been there in over a year, though, sounds like things have changed. Point being, though, it's not hard to find.
>>553173283Thought about this more and idereo where Leona is bullying and terrorizing Idia from the bottom is also yummers. Outcomes have been a mixed bag in canon but I believe in Idia's ability to perform under pressure.I'm now motivated to go read the NY event for crumbs.
>>553188053The NY event is great, nerds being sillies. I don't like how they shoehorned the player character in, though. This is the first time, right, that they've ever appeared in a NY event? Hope it's not a sign that there is more of that coming.
>>553191108How do you guys feel about Grim, by the way?Yuu is honestly pretty ignorable even when they do show up in the game so I don't think I care as much as some other people do. But I find Grim grating, so it's the fact that he's almost always also in tow when Yuu is shoehorned in that pushes things over the edge for me.I wish I at least found him cute but I think he's ugly kekAnyways, I've enjoyed what I've read so far. It was a nice spin on the personalization that the students this time didn't want to participate at first and had to be lured in by targeted gifts.On EN the release timeline of Book 7 being tied up with Malleus categorized as a natural disaster, only for him to immediately go and become a glorified cashier at Sam's shop has been pretty funny.
>>553191108>>553192301Awh man. I like Grim but admit he only started growing on me during Book 6, I'm weak for the cute animal crying about not being able to go home thing and that small friendship moment with Adeuce. And honestly if Yuu has to be relevant the only way I accept it is with Grim because at least they've been a duo since the beginning. >Malleus categorized as a natural disaster, only for him to immediately go and become a glorified cashierOn JP didn't we get the dorm songs soon after that? So Malleus being called a natural disaster and then they go and make a whole song about it and sing it on stage in public had similar hilarious vibes
>>553192301I don't mind Grim. I don't like kids and he's very much like a child and I found him really annoying in early books, but after Book 6 I've made my peace with the furry deus ex machina. He's adorable in the anime.
>>553193538>make a whole song about itYeah JP got blazing jewel right after 7-13. Then a training camp and some master chef reruns and the next new thing was eternity float. Malleus showing up with both horns and people like !?
Huh, good to know people actually enjoy Grim. Even if I can't stand him, at least he's servicing somebody.Yana just kinda draws ugly cats imo... always quite stiff with uncanny eyes, same in Kuroshitsuji. He IS cuter in the anime, where he's a bit more fluffy and fluid.>>553193538Kek that is pretty funny>>553193938Just now realizing none of his post-Ch.7 cards reflect the damage to his horns. Guess it makes sense since they're not exactly including events in the canon continuity afaik...?
>>553195573Whether events count as canon is a subject for debate. In my opinion they established super early that the events can't technically be taking place along with the main story via Wish Upon a Star, with that whole subplot of Idia and his video game presenting a problem and then solving it only for the exact same, unsolved problem to come back in Book 6. That was absolutely on purpose.I see events as "canon" in the sense that "if the characters were ever actually in this situation, this is canonically what they would do," but not in the sense of "let us build a timeline to figure out how exactly glorious masquerade was able to fit in between Scary Monsters and Endless Halloween."
>>553195573Two of the voice actors did a livestream of watching episode three or something online and Azakami Youhei kept losing his shit over how cute Grim is in the anime, it was hilarious.
>>553198089Is there evidence to the contrary, though? The plethora of events with multiple versions placing different characters in the same scenarios in the same time frame seems evidence enough that it's just what you state it to be in your second paragraph.
>>553203281I can't think of any alternative explanations but that doesn't mean there aren't any. A time loop, alternate versions of the same school year via different Yuu like the manga, we never actually woke up out of Malleus' dreams and everyone has been asleep the whole time, etc. etc. Can't technically prove that any of that isn't happening, so can't say "it has to be this one way because it is the only thing that makes sense" yet, either. Every time people start assuming stuff about the game Yana gives us a lore drop of "you're all wrong, actually," so I prefer to keep my mouth shut about stuff we don't know yet.
