I appreciate twst giving the characters smartphones. There is so much cheap drama to be farmed by setting everything to function on early-90s technology, such an easy way out. It's a fantasy world so they could've pulled that trick. The prefect like "You don't have smartphones!?" and the characters like "Why are the phones smart." But instead they fully embraced it, went "nah, everyone has a smartphone and also a Instagram/LINE hybrid and Leona is in a group chat." Respect.
>>569083636I don't understand this image. What is it a reference to?
So, from what I understand, most people here think that RSA will win the first competition, right? That Rielle and Mina will defeat Azul and Jamil, that I think Azul and Jamil will cause their team's defeat, especially since they're acting so arrogantly and villainously, but that at least Ruggie will surprise everyone and be amazing, right? That Leona probably planned something, that I think while Azul and Jamil will probably lose, Ruggie is their team's chance to win, but it all depends on how the chapter goes.
>>569088165
>>569091049Are you writing a /twst/ bullshitting synopsis or something. I feel like I just read a "on last week's episode" recap.
I have a question for the manga nerds here. You know how Yana does that thing where she'll bring other illustrators together to draw her characters? She did it for Kuroshi, resulting in some really sub-par art and random side-stories that have nothing to do with anything by people I've never heard of, and she did it again with the Twst anthologies. Is that a normal thing for mangaka to do? Does the ONE PIECE guy bring in random illustrators to draw his characters and publish volumes of uncanon material just for shits and giggles? Or is that a Yana thing?
>>569091049What if Azul and Jamil did right but Lilia and Ruggie kill the opportunity to win
Bump
Almost forgot to grab the ssr perfume from the tsum shop. Go go go.

>>569117950>-Novel 3YanaNovel 3 YanaYana pls
>>569117950Since the first volume of Scarabia dropped at once while Octa was still ongoing I wonder if they’ve got someone creating Pomefiore already. We’re gonna get to Jamil’s overblot and they’re gonna drop volumes 1 and 2 of Pome, in creation since 2024 or something.

>>569133456>>569133525The word "erotic" was never meant to be in the same sentence as "deuce" but damn. Who taught him that pose, that is stunning.
>>569133456I don't think there's a chance any of the Groovys from the summer cards will have one of the boys in cider, right? Or at least soaked in the drink.
Just a small confession but whenever I'm on a bitter mood and I see an ENfag trying to shit on the cute, I immediately pull the classism card and I think it's adorable they immediately stop

I know tiktok retards opinions have even less value than your average ener but MalleYuu being oh so canon or close to being canon seems to be a shared sentiment within EN fandom, I wonder why? At least in AceYuu's case I understand since not only they're canonically friends but he also seems to be the only character that genuinely cares about (you) as an individual, whereas Malleus doesn't receive yume fanservice more than the rest of the cast (which isn't even that much dbh).
>>569184058Well, on X I saw several people trying to defend Malleus's feelings for Yuu, about Yuu's importance to Malleus, because one person said it's almost impossible to talk about Diasomnia because of the fanon, that Malleus doesn't really care about the protagonist, that at the end of Book 7, Malleus didn't even react or care about the protagonist, that Malleus's focus and importance was mainly Lilia and also Silver, and while some people agreed with this, others were annoyed by this idea.
>>569184058>I wonder why?Because they need everything to be about themselves. Not "want." They NEED it. They MUST be the most important person to the most powerful, most important character on the cast, and Mal is EN's poster boy. If his every waking moment is not about his undying love for them personally then there is no point. "Me me me me. It has to be about me. It HAS to be. And if it's not, then I'll warp and distort canon content until I can convince myself it is." And that includes convincing everyone around them that it is, too, so that no one will shatter the illusion by pointing out what actually happens in the game where zero of it is about them at all.>>569193949For every one person who actually plays the game there are dozens who skip dialogue, take other people's screenshots out of context and only know the version of the characters that exists in their head.
>>569193949>at the end of Book 7, Malleus didn't even react or careThat part in 7.5 was funny too. Zero pandering. Prefect is there talking, Malleus comes up, Prefect and the first years decide to leave, end. Neither one acknowledged each other. No "Ah, Yuu. Thank you for giving us your seat." No "Hey Hornton, glad to see you back at school." Nothing. It's like twst saw all the self-shippers and was like "maybe it's time to scale this back, people are getting the wrong idea."
>>569193949>others were annoyed by this idea.Of course they were
But for real I wonder why en server didn't add the voices for 7.5. That is wild. JP didn't have voices for parts of Book 6 when it first dropped but en server had them from the start so it's not like they're big on giving everyone an equal experience or anything.
>>569193949It might be because my algo finally flushed out en comments but it was funny to me that I didn't see en say anything about Malmal's bonbon this year. I thought people will be jumping at the chance to call it a date with Yuu, did Malleus talking about Lilia almost the entire time creep them out
I didn't know that the new chapter of the Scarabia manga was released today.
>>569218589Holy shit, finally
>>569218589Feels good to be a jamiazufag
>>569229472You cut my favorite part anon how could you
Alright the chapter has been translated and submitted, should be up on mangadex shortly. In the meantime check out this sassy, sassy snake.
>>569231395Ermahgerd that’s the same arm gesture he did during blazejewel, my loveIt also the same gesture that the VAs for Floyd and Jade do sometimes but shh
>>569201189My thought was that it’s cause the bait and switch is over. That’s what Twst does. Back in the beginning there was a ton of rumors that Ace was gonna betray the prefect and then it was no, actually, the point is he stood up against the queen. It’s not about you. Then Lilia gave the “Malleus needs a friend” line early in Book 7 and then no, actually, the point is Malleus is friends with Lilia. It’s not about you. But that part is over now. It is canon that Malleus needs to hold hands with Lilia or he will be too unstable to function. The bait and switch is done. I doubt they’ll drop all the bait for the self-shippers entirely, of course, but now we know that Lilia is the center of Malleus’ world and always has been.
Smart market play.
Got me some union juice from the free rolls, heck yeah
>>569231395Thanks again for your effort and contribution anon
>>569231395Sorry for the wait. Here's the chapter!https://mangadex.org/chapter/cd9fecc2-9a10-4324-a5e0-37c21e889966
>>569248313You're the best scan-anon, thanks for this
>>569248313Thanks scan anon. I wish I was in Jamil's place to do terrible terrible things to Azul
>>569249380Holy shit it's somehow even sexier when you know what he's actually saying
>>569196840>only know the version of the characters that exists in their head.I saw this in real time yesterday. Someone took jade’s “I want to join pomefiore” and “I want to return to octavinelle” lines from his dorm vignette out of context as proof that he is just as mood-swingy as Floyd. But in order to draw that conclusion they would have to skip the content of that entire story where he executed a plot against Vil for Azul. It wasn’t “oh so wacky mood-swing jade,” it was a carefully designed, precisely executed plan that succeeded exactly because he followed every step perfectly, to the point of deceiving Vil of all people, no mood swings involved. And they decided to take two contradicting pieces of dialogue from the very start and very end of the plotline and distort it into “look at the silly jade, he has mood swings just like Floyd.”
>>569253969>it was a carefully designed, precisely executed planTo touch Vil's feet coz he's a footfag
>>569254249Now that's a trait that he shares with his brother
>>569254249>>569254404Making the mermaids have foot fetishes is one of Yana's greatest gifts to the world
>>569257878Imagine Rielle
>>569259425Bonding with the tweels over feetlove
>>569086060Mira Mira for a twst Alexa still cracks me up. But it makes me wonder if Vil used a different keyword he could've been no.1 in the search results.
>>569264347"Vil look you're the top result for 'I don't know if I want to do him or want to be done by him'"
>>569225026I never know when the manga chapters are released, and I admit that every month I wait for the announcement of the Pom manga. It has to be announced this year, right?
>>569269040This artist delivers fast as usual

Why is birthday Deucey summoning line going viral on the former bird app. But I could totally see him as a pretty cure starter villain who is firmly on the cure's side by the end kek
>>569288883cute
Sweet, managed to get Juice with his free birthday ten-roll. That bedhead hair is sex.
>>569248313There seems to be a page missing. Saw this on one of the accounts posting the raws.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HJ6NC_obsAAZI1i?format=jpg&name=medium
>>569278773After an entire arc about cricket in kuroshi I'd say the odds are higher than is comfortable
>>569312325Oh, thanks for letting me know. I'll try to fix it soon.
>>569312325Typeset anon here thanks, that wasn't in the bundle of raws I received I think, or maybe I accidentally deleted it. Does that go between the cover page and Azul talking about the camp? Or maybe after the page of Jamil announcing he will be housewarden? Is it the only one we dropped?
>>569312641No prob. :)
>>569312723Hi. Happy to help. Unfortunately, I found that on Twitter from one of the users who only uploaded the first two pages, the one with Jade and then the cover page. None of the raw sites has the latest chapter, and I can't find anyone on Twitter who uploaded the full raws. If there are more pages, it's probably best to double-check with your raw scans supplier. I believe the page with Jade is the opening page, so it should be the first page before the cover. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
>>569319329No worries thanks a ton for following up, and sorry from our end for dropping the ball there
>>569320325Again, no prob. Fans should always help each other with stuff like this. :DI don't have a MangaDex and wasn't sure the best way to contact the scanlators since your group bio's profile links to inactive Tumblr blog, so I was surprised to find you guys here on 4chan. Don't really come here often, so it's lucky I was able to get in contact with the team members. Is there a site outside of MangaDex that it'll make it easier for others to contact you?Anyhow, thanks for translating the manga!
>>569323493The group was born from this general and it's our primary method of contacting each other, which was fun when 4chan crashed a while back just as a new chapter came out.
>>569329845Gotcha. Might be best to open an alternative site or something in the future, in case 4chan crashes again. ^_^;Again, I'm happy to be of assist. Hope everything works out on your end with the scans.
>>569317625cute
test test, posting issues today
>>569253969Hes not mood swingy but he definitely also loves to rile up Azul as well on purpose even if he was going along with his plan
>>569348469Didn't Yana have a comment like that or am I making things up? I swear I read somewhere about how a part of Jade's thing is that he will encourage Floyd to go nuts while pretending to hold him back. We get a bit of that pattern sans-Floyd in NBC when Jamil is like "azul and riddle are insane and we need to stop them" and Jade is like "oh sure, but what if instead of that we go and watch because whatever is about to happen is guaranteed to be hilarious?" They're equally gremlins, especially towards Azul, just not in the "both equally have moodswings" way.
>>569348952Absolutely. I do not think he tries to stop neither Floyd nor Azul because he loves watching chaos unfold. Usually he's the type to set it up or not stop it rather than causing the chaos directly because it's entertaining for him
>>569319329Apologies. I'm the one who usually supplies the scarabia manga raws lately and this might be the first time I overlooked a page but I will check manga up if there's any more missing.
>>569349312I remember also reading a theory thing about the way he talks is a part of that too, like his speech patterns are very distant and proper and detached because watchs to be distant and detached because he wants to observe the people around him like mushrooms for his own entertainment. That's more fan theorizing stuff but I like the idea.
>>569349465Hey, no worries. That isn't something you need to apologize for. Mistakes happen. :)Just glad I was able to contact the team about it. Thanks for all your efforts with sharing the latest manga chapters with the fandom. <3
>>569231395Jade's UM was off the charts in the manga too. A shame we're never gonna get to see Floyd casting his. Stupid sexy magic.
>>569352540Never going to see Azul's, either. Not unless we get that Glorious Masquerade OVA that anon promised.>>569117950- Glomasu and Playfulland OVAs. They're real in my heart.
>>569241375>Malleus needs to hold hands with Lilia or he will be too unstable to functionI cannot believe this is canon. It has been months and I am still not over it. This is fanfic levels of glorious.
>>569360797The things Malleus and Lilia got away with is crazy the more I think about it. The aishiteru. 'I will not lose you'.Raised a kid together. Malleus admitting he just wanted them to be together until the end. 'your touch takes away all my pain' Holding hands to become more powerful. Lilia's magical circuits changed to be the same as Malleus's. I've seen jpsisters say they don't ever need to write a doujin or fanfic to match their shipping delusions if canon has done it all
>>569362876And Idia literally calling them "true love."Depending on the extent of an anti's mental illness they might be able to claim that Mallelili is an incestuous day relationship between an adult and a minor. And Yana got it published under Disney. I love Yana.
>>569360797>>569362876>>569364702Objectively speaking, isn't Malelili the closest mlm pairing in the game to being canon?
>>569366050Oh my crowley I love this art.They're the only example we have of anyone professing love to anyone else on screen, since we never actually saw Lilia say he loves Mel/Rav, we just heard about it after the fact. They are the purest pairing. Or I guess it technically might be one sided since Mal confessed but Lilia didn't confirm or deny his confession?
>>569366223Malleus in one-sided love with Lilia while Lilia is in one-sided love with BOTH of Malleus' dead parents. Delicious drama.
>>569368826Imagine being Lilia and Malleus declares his love for you with the voice of Raverne and the face of Meleanor, how does it feel like. Truly the drama
>>569370419Dear lord. Yana is a genius."You loved both of us, so how could you not love our child? I mean that literally. His face will be a copy-paste of mine and he will sound identical to Raverne. The only thing that's different is he will actually love you back."
>>569373878I wish I loved anything as much as deucesis loves her angry, chicken-loving Disney anime boy
Made for eels and virgin shut-in otakus
Jade is really worried about Azul, right? Worried about whether their plan will work? The twins love their octopus.
It’s funny to think that the new story chapter will happen during the World Cup
>>569410107Yana planned everything!
Kek, I never thought I'd see ship wars happening in TWST fandom yet here we are. I mean, these are pretty mild compared to some other fandoms but it's still a funny concept.
>>569426753What exactly are ship wars btw, I block english speakers on sight so that kind of stuff never reaches me. Is it like "FloyAzu is the hottest," "No JaAzu is the hottest," "You are both wrong, clearly the only answer is 3P" or what.
>>569430914I try to block dumbasses too but I still end up seeing cringe or retarded shit on my TL once in a while >Is it like "FloyAzu is the hottest," "No JaAzu is the hottest," "You are both wrong, clearly the only answer is 3P" or what.Nah, it really seems like this is a serious matter of them 'Oh no, an opposite ship of my OTP just got some official content, I better make not so subtle passive-agressive posts to express my feelings of bitterness' or 'eww I hate that guy because his pairing with X is more popular than my preferred pair with X'
>>569434348*serious matter for them
>>569434348Being mad at canon is just, the secondhand embarrassment is so real. Those people are no better than selfshippers.
>>569435673>Those people are no better than selfshippers.Anon, they often tend to be the same people lol
>>569436332Huh, that explains a lot. Both reek of main character syndrome. It's no wonder they're floundering in a game where the self-insert is wholly unnecessary. Maybe that is what triggers them into lashing out in the fandom. Hopefully the sparkle-shine game by that yume company will earn them the attention they apparently don't get at home and they'll calm down.
This isn't even my ship and I want to show this to everyone I know. Look. Look at it. Look.
>>569451770The panel right before that of jamjam tonguing the air really brings the whole vibe together
>>569362876>jpsisters say they don't ever need to write a doujin or fanfic to match their shipping delusions if canon has done it allReminds me of the bitching I saw in that short-lived twst thread in /a/ when the anime dropped. Someone hissing about twst-fujoshi being delusional.After Book 7 and the scaramanga I expect people like that have gotten real quiet.
>>569458147Fascinating. What would make someone think like that, I thought most who see the characters wearing heels and makeup and an all-male cast will go 'oh that's gay'. Never mind that the entire thing about twst is the interesting interactions between the boys. You don't even have to get that far to book 7, RookVil and Adeuce exist.
>>569459165I saw a Fujosis give them clapback with Rook as an example and the anti's excuse was that Rook doesn't count. I don't remember how they justified it. It was like "Doesn't matter, if you take all the gay shit out of the game it isn't gay at all, checkmate."Typical /a/ behavior basically.
>>569461650>if you take all the gay shit out of the game it isn't gay at allWe had a selfshipper in here like that once. Every time anons were like "Malleus and the prefect barely talk, here are these examples of times Malleus really dropped the ball for someone who supposedly gives a shit about anyone but lilia" their response was "Well that was just because of the story, take all that out and there is SO MUCH Malleyuu!!"If you take out everything that doesn't confirm your delusions and then fill in the rest with what you want to see? Sure.
>>569461650Was trying to find my BJewel waltzing gif and found this one instead
People who fight over another ship they don't like getting attention over their otp are lame when all these ships are just queerbaiting. Let me think about Azul fucking multiple guys in peace.
>>569470928Do eners have anything like doujin events? Are artist alleys like that?Mostly I wonder if en-shippers are so deranged that a IdiAzu shipper might start beef with a JamiAzu shipper at an IRL event or something or if they just bitch online and pretend to be friendly in person.
>>569473396Artists' Alley isn't something I would compare to doujinshi events. It's mostly people selling cheap acrylics and prints, trying to ride merch waves of popular series for the cash instead of creating for the love of the game and selling at cost for no profit, like doujinshi artists do.
>>569469354Sauce?
>>569477241https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/84092630There are three in this series. They haven't been active since last year though.
>>569476396I remember seeing someone asking like "my husband sells 3D printed dice towers and I sell handmade crochet accessories, and we have so much unsold stock from our last con. What are we doing wrong?" and the responses were "these days everyone's husbands are selling 3d printed junk while everyone else sells crocheted junk."I've never been to a usa con but that sounds unappealing.
>>569481332I'd say the fact that dubbers sell fanmade merch of the characters they voice is worse. I remember seeing JPsisters stirred up when the anime dropped and dubbers started shilling signed posters and prints and shit of Twst characters for profit. Gross behavior, but apparently normal over there.

I was once again caught off guard by the second half of Tsumsted.
Seeing Halloween theories coming out. It has begun.
Adding the bonus missions onto the thing for the 20 free bday rolls was awful nice, now you can miss guest room invites and special lessons and still get both 10key sets. I wonder how many complaints they got to end up changing it like that.
Trey and Cater finding times and places to make out and Riddle being the only person who doesn't know
Excited for the new chapter. Seems like a 50/50 change of we follow along Team AzuLiRuJa or we break off to introduce the next team and the new RSA character(s) involved. Really wanna see best boy in action but also want to meet the newest sassy lion man.
>>569613193Some anon a while back had me half convinced it might be a warthog until that Nala statue was revealed. Really hope things don't stink too heavily of didney shit going forward. Whenever the disney references get heavy the quality drops like a brick.
>>569616487Do you think Yana will resist what she likes, or will she make Nala boy close and have a unique and important dynamic and relationship with Cheka?
>>569617886I don't think Yana knows the meaning of the word shame which is why I love her. The question is moreso if her editor is able to talk her down. He's on the Twst staff too after all.K - "Ok we will let Nalaman be Cheka's babysitter but to compromise Aliceman has to be wearing pants."Yana - "You put my Aliceman in pants and I swear to god I am posting sketches of Megaraman naked with Idia and Ortho."K - "Ok, shota's got no pants, got it."
>>569617886When the silhouettes were revealed JP dug up Yana tweets from years ago where she was fangirling about musical Nala if I'm not mistaken. Apparently Nala had a bigger role there and Scar had a thing for her too. I'm kinda more intrigued if Yana will be basing more off of that
>>569623989Didn't they give him a girlfriend or something in that liveaction? Disney will make everybody gay before the flamboyant lion. Leona you are our only hope. Fuck the lizard. Or the hyena. Or the supermodel. No ship wars, here all are welcome.
>>569626968I wonder which OB and his RSA counterpart will end up having the biggest sexual tension. My bets are on Riddle/femboy Alice and Leona/sassy gay leon.
>>569617886We will have our first confirmed shotacon
>>569638980His name's Vil.

I wonder if next chapter is gonna have a battle system similar to the daily exams integrated into the main story. The official account and yana both commenting on how to succeed at those was odd.
Book 6 is so good. Jamil, Azul, everyone is so freaking funny. It's a shame you have to go through 12 hours of content to get the foundation necessary to understand what's going on. Twst is one of those things that really shines once all the foundational stuff is settled but there is a ton of it to settle that so many people just don't have patience for.
>>569704474>so many people just don't have patience for.The fandom is already lousy with people who don't have the patience to actually read the content. Reading comprehension is, unfortunately, not gatekeeping as much as it ought. When people don't understand or don't like something they will fill in the blanks for themselves and become most upset when asked to provide proof of what they say.
>>569710594I saw that yesterday, angriest sis in the world ranting about her boy like "and then this happened and then this" and people were like "sis when did that even happen, where are the screenshots sis" and her honest to god response was "if it's not true then YOU prove it, where are YOUR screenshots? checkmate" and it's like girl if you are saying godzilla attacked in book 3 we cannot show you screenshots of godzilla not attacking, it never happened, do you want us to screenshot every 3 seconds of the story and send it to you?
Randomly remembered when the lizard plush was announced and yana tweeted about how she was shown the prototype over a zoom call and was like "hiii baby malleus" and the merch person who was speaking with her was like "Our apologies but his majesty was only just recently born and does not have a good grasp of human language."How is everyone who works on this IP so freaking cute.
"Next to overblot" discourse is lowkey confusing, there are only 7 statues there, the overblots are done except for like, Grim.
>>569710594I'm thinking that those types attract people like themselves. A bunch of xitters who have never read the story squawking about how much they love/hate stuff that never actually happened. That's only a problem when someone comes in who has actually read it and knows that the squawker is full of shit. Suddenly their soapbox is being questioned, they look bad to their equally ignorant followers, and they go on the defensive.I saw a person the other day going on about how Ruggie's dad has come back in-game, multiple times, to ask Ruggie and his grandma for money. When people were like "what" they went into an all-caps raging meltdown about how it was deleted from EN but she has a friend who knows japanese and told her about it and she's seen the screenshots but can't share them but it's 100% true.
>>569729508This one time I saw a person explaining that both Sebek's dad and Trey's dad are dentists and someone politely asked "Are you sure? I thought he owned a cake shop," and th person gave a whole explanation about how Trey got his slyness from his father and Trey's dad is both a dentist and a patissier. As a patissier he encourages people to eat sweets, and as a dentist those people have to pay him to fix the teeth that they ruined on the sweets he sold them. He is very conniving, just like Trey. They repeatedly insisted this is all canon.A somewhat less polite person came in from the side with "You literally just made all that up" and within an hour they had deleted everything, I assume after scrubbing through the game and not being able to find anything to back up their own claims. Someone like that having enough shame to erase proof of their own mistakes is pretty rare, though. Usually they just double down and make up even more fanon.
Next episode: everyone dresses up as belly dancers for some contrived reason. Or no reason at all, that would also be fine.
>>569734614SSR Leona SR Cater SR Jamil and R Idia just so the people who think merch decides canon will shut up about the abs he doesn't actually have
>>569734614hot
>>569731265>A somewhat less polite personI dunno why we gotta treat people like that with kid gloves. If I was spouting delusional shit like it was canon I would want someone to come at me like "screenshot or gtfo" before I did too much damage to what people know about the story.
June is the longest month in the world how it is only the 7th, how can we still be in Tsum 2.
>>569749872Are we taking bets on if July is gonna be tsum 3
>>569734614An event with a belly dancer theme? SSR Jamil or not, since he already has one at his hometown? And who else? Leona? Floyd? Vil? Riddle? Ruggie? Silver? The idea might be funny, but I can't picture him in those clothes.
>>569754251Either that or a tapis rerun
>>569754251I saw many Japanese people who loved the rerun of both Tsum 1 and Tsum 2 events, and several disappointed ones who want Tsum 3. I think the Tsum 3 rerun shouldn't take too long.
>>569397704Cute
>>569763583That wouldn't be so bad. It was a shameless commercial for a failed movie, sure, but the JamiAzul was great.
>>569805174I keep thinking about what events they could do based on upcoming Disney movies. For example, I've thought about Lilo & Stitch 2, since I want more characters in beach outfits, but I also think about Tangled, since there was already an event and I really love Riddle and Deuce's look in that event.
>Can't beat Scarabia Crowley even after using three seperate duo magicsIt's over sisters...the useless birdbrain has filtered me...not even wani-chan could power through...
>>569808265Tsumsted brought my attention to the fact that I do not have a single Sebebe SSR. Does he a particularly strong card?
>>569808265I have finished all of the maps except for Diasomnia. I own plenty of strong SSRs that were able to carry me in the other maps but I didn't invest enough resources in my lower rarity cards so I'm kind of stuck now. At least I got my SSR perfumes and uncapped OB Idia.
While I think Ace is the only character that makes sense as a romantic partner for the protagonist, and perhaps Ace/Yuu is the only ship, Yana likes with the protagonist, I also think Yana actually likes Ace/Deuce, which are one of the most obvious and canon pairings mentioned in the game. Do you think if the game's creators could, this would be one of the ships that would be canon, right? Along with Rook/Vil and maybe Malleus/Lilia and others.
>>569807654Were JP sisters as butthurt as the en Disney adults about how Rapunzel was treated like just another movie instead of some big, Halloween-level spectacle?
>>569825735Dunno but still salty that en released it before riddle’s dream. It was such an emotional follow-up to his whole main story arc but en gives no shit.
>>569749872it's gone by pretty fast for me
>>569837282Maybe I am just starving for the new RSA characters. Dangling like carrots in front of us. Feed us, Yana.
>>569844326Other batch of characters are revealed and then go silent for 5 months or mwe have another update…
>>569845331I wonder if they will try taming the rioting masses with an event that includes one or more of the new guys. Full disclosure I just want as much as Mina as I can possibly have.
I don't think I appreciated Malleus' new year outfit enough. Shame on me. He is so pretty.
>>569857297Still can't believe they made Leona an SR. LEONA. with NO PANTS. SR.Ace's card is right up there with Fairy Ortho though, stunning art.
>>569858972They really didn't play favorites with the OBers/housewardens with that series. Why do Jack and Ruggie have SSRs while Jamil and Leona do not.
>>569863815I've seen some jpsisters complaining that OBs/housewardens often get preferential treatment while others get sidelined so that's probably why. I mean yeah, as an OBfag I kinda see where they're coming from but Floyd doesn't belong to any of these 2 groups yet he currently has the most SSRs after Idia iirc.
>>569863815>>569866797Ah you were strictly speaking about the NYE series, mb. Well, there's a high chance for both Riddle and Azul to get SSRs this year so there's that.
>>569867232Are the last guys Azul, Riddle, Silver, Liia? I love that. If they don't give Silver the SSR the diasisters might riot though.
>>569867849>>569867232I love Silver, he's one of my favorite characters, but I have the impression that regarding the New Year's cards, they're trying to keep it balanced between the dorm. Diasomnia already has Malleus and Sebek, both being SSR, while Jade and Floyd are SR, so I think Azul will be SSR. Heartslabyul is balanced, Deuce and Cater are SR, and Trey and Ace are SSR, so I don't know what Riddle card will be. It'll have to be a contest between Heartslabyul and Diasomnia, between Riddle and Silver, about who will be an SSR New Year's card.
>>569821347>Ace/Deuce, which are one of the most obvious and canon pairings mentioned in the game.Is it? To me they are your typical pair of broskies that enjoy shitting on each other's but still got the other's back when time calls. Yeah, there's no denying there are ship bait moments between them but never thought their interactions are borderline homo like in rookvil's case; maybe I believe this because I haven't look too deep into their relationship, dunno.
>>569811796>>569815532Only SSRs I've got, and I'm fielding all of them is dorm Lilia/silver/Sebek, birthday boy vil (the first one) and dorm ace.Problem the Diasomnia crew and all like 5/5 since I just pulled them this pickup, Vil isn't an attack type and I didn't pick Deuce to field for this map so no ace unique magic. Crowley deletes me by like the fourth turn and his HP regen means I don't even get close to beating him. Girding my loins to max out fairy gala silver later this month so its not like I can even grind out the books to improve Diasomnia's piss poor performance. Looks like this is the end of the road for me...
>>569884758>your typical pair of broskies that enjoy shitting on each other's but still got the other's back when time callsThis is exactly why I believe. It's a very common trope of shounen duos that people will end up shipping a lot. Cater actually referring to them as Adeuce in jp fueled it too I remember jp shippers were really happy about that. Bonus bunny Deuce and NY fox Ace made a lot of people happy because there's a really popular jp theory that they are inspired by Judy and Nick
>>569157608Cute
>>569887604>Vil isn't an attack typeBirthday boy Vil actually *is* attack type, it's jus such a bad card you'd never know it
>>569903456Cool
>>569858972I'm curious about what this year's New Year's cards will be like, since last year's were great; I thought Idia's and Ace's cards had some of the best art in the game.
>>569928697I'm wondering if they're gonna keep the sugoroku theme from last year. That was a huge thing to introduce only to be one and done, especially when the same format was used repeatedly for four years leading up to it.>>569871238I can see ending on Silver as "end of the end" since it'll be the the final four guys that haven't had cards yet finally getting cards, but I can also see them ending on Riddle for a "ending with the beginning" theme, and they did have the dorms go through the hoops backwards in 2025 and 2026, ending on Hearts. But also again, Ace JUST had a new year's card, while it's been two years since Malleus. Only four sugoroku-style cards in the game, and half of them are Hearts? I dunno.It'll be hilarious if the SSRs turn out to be Lilia and Silver, 100% SSR rate for Diaso and 0% for Octa.
I keep wondering when Ortho's ClubWear will be announced, and now that they're finishing up all the Club cards and the Master Chef cards, if they're going to start a new set of cards with a different theme.
Stay strong newanons. You really only need 1-2 teams for raids as long as you invest wisely in your favoites and abuse heals + buddy bonuses.
>>569940754Maybe today. Or like, soon. It was announced for mid-June on Twst radio.
>>569940754First we would have club cards rerun before moving forward with another theme
>>569940754>>569955897I start thinking "next theme" but then I remember that it's been, what? Two years? Since Master Chef ended? And we got nothing.
I saw a really awful section on the wiki where someone had legit just made shit up. They invented an entire scene that doesn't exist, drew comparisons between things that did happen and things that have never happened, wrote a whole new background for a character that is entirely faniction. I only saw it because someone linked me to it to make fun of it. Sometimes I want to go through the wiki to see what else is wrong, but if that was wrong then it's very likely that everything is wrong and I'm going to get into wiki-editing wars with 11 years old who want Malleus to marry their OC. So I do not look. Ignorance is bliss.
>>569964662Please tell me it's not Malleus's wiki please tell me they did not do this to my boy
>>569968007NTA but I occasionally go to the wiki for assets, and I did once end up on Malleus. I've mentioned this here before, but someone had added an entire subsection about their OC dragon princess to Malleus' wiki page. I can't remember if she was a relative or a fiancee or what the connection had been, but it was there, added in a drop-down menu like a legitimate character with a canon relationship to him. Last I checked it had disappeared so I assume someone else deleted it, but that was the day I learned to never trust the wik, I use it for pngs and that is all.
Riddle is so funny. Rereading 6 and 7 like what is this character, he is hilarious.
>>569968007It was Silver's mom someone gave her a whole background that never existed to explain why she was a good person who never did anything wrong. And sure, for all we know she was and she didn't, but that's the thing, we know fuck all about her. One of those "gonna fill in the blanks with my headcanon to push my own agenda" types.
>>569974935>And sure, for all we know she was and she didn't, but that's the thing, we know fuck all about her.Yet entards act like she's Hitler incarnate
>>569917736>Vil IS an attack typeAt first I was like "you lie" but then dragged my ass to check and holy shit my sides. Tell me why wani-chan with not maxed skills is hitting harder than 10/10 Vil. Fairest of them all? More like weakest of the bunch.
>>569978716I hear that argument against entards a lot, so I was surprised that one of them invented a backstory for her that made her into a literal saint and then posted it to the wiki as canon.
>>569968389I had someone telling me that the twins' mother canonically adopted Azul into their family so he and the twins are technically brothers. I asked them to prove it. They shared a screenshot of the wiki with something like "Azul was legally adopted by Georgine Leech" highlighted and circled in red as a "gotcha." I got to be like congratulations, now you know better than to ever trust the wiki, because people make things up all the time. I bet that one was added by an IdoAzu-anti who couldn't think of a good enough reason to pressure people into dropping the ship so they decided to claim it's incest or something. Eners love to accuse each other of promoting incest.
>>569983539>Doting on your kids friend is the same thing as adopting them according to eners logicEither they're being stupid on purpose for the sake of some ridiculous anti-shipping agenda or these people genuinely need to go outside a lot more often.
>>569984723It hadn't even occurred to me that it had been a legitimate misunderstanding. I'd heard the same rumors when the event first dropped on JP but figured they'd clear up once it came out on EN and ignored them. Maybe the wiki was changed by someone LARPing as a japanese speaker before EN was released and no one knew enough JP to correct them so it just stayed.
>>569980064Let’s pretend all characters don’t have a shit tier card within their catalog.
>>569986794Yes but have you considered the indignity of me getting saddled with his worst card instead of his sexo birthday bloom.
>>569983539>canonically adopted AzulNot only is this making shit up did they just forget Azul talked about his mother and lawyer stepdad before? Speaking of though can someone confirm this, didn't Azul refer to his stepdad in a very cute way? Was it papa? I vaguely recall seeing jpsis fangirling about it because it shows he's close with his stepdad
>>569988219>Was it papa?It was papa. He has his birthday boy vignette talking about how he respects his stepdad so for years it was like "so his step dad and mom are loveydovey and his stepdad taught him about the law and is kind but a ruthless divorce lawyer, ok, great" and then book 7 came out with "I'm telling my papa on you!!" and suddenly holy SHIT yes, yes, yes. Loves his papa.
>>569987589What about Tapis
>>569989301Yeah, it's pretty obvious that Azul is spoiled rotten not only by his family but by his mom's restaurant staff as well, adult merfolks in general seem to have a soft spot for him.
>>569992285Last time I saw this screenshot it was someone saying "By the way guys, just fyi, this is CANONICAL proof of what Azul's mom looks like!" and they circled that 1cm-tall silhouette of someone with a bun in the background. In retrospect I am hoping they were joking but at the time I was just like oh god.
>>569980064>Fairest of them all? More like weakest of the bunch.kek
>>569992782Kek I know exactly about what are you talking, that person was soo convinced the random lady silhouette in the background is Azul's mom and iirc their reasoning was something like 'Mrs. Rosehearts and Falena also appeared as darkened silhouettes' lol.
>>569995089Oh god so it wasn't a joke then. This fandom is so embarrassing sometimes.
I wasn't expecting a new Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer today, but I'm still hoping for a Twisted Wonderland world in the game even though the chances are almost impossible.
>>570006106Hoping for any reference of twst in kh4, a summon, book world like Winnie the pooh, keyblade inspos, I'll take anything. Kh event for twst. Come on, Nomura and Yana are both insane they can come up with something
>>569987250Coming soon! How do you think he's going to defeat Jamil? From the various fan arts of him "seducing" Jamil, right?
>>570036193Cute
>>570036193I enjoy the idea of Azul occasionally getting messaged just like "please come and get your eel."
>>569909969Cute
>>570055965I had relevant fanart to post and went to find it and this is how I learned that my favorite IdoAzu artist has deleted everything from both pixiv and poipiku. A loss to the world.
>>570050637this dude
>>570050637>>570070305A terminal case of sexyfish. I'm afraid there is no cure.
>>570009971I've seen Leona show up in manga at least twice, including that panel that was passed around a while back of one of the characters showing her friend her cellphone screen with Leona on it when talking about a mobile game she played.Leona randomly walking by in KH4 would be amazing. My only memory of Cloud in KH2 was him wandering around looking for Sephiroth and then Sephiroth wandering around looking for Cloud so it could be like that. Leona trying to find Malleus and Malleus trying to figure out what the hell is going on, he's just a lizard, no one told him about any of this, but at least it is amusing.
>>570087949If it's anyone it'll probably be Malleus. Passing through like "Interesting. I have no idea what is happening. Carry on."
It’s an apolitical agenda.
Saw a JPsis wondering if we might get an Eternity Float IF event with Floyd attending the wedding instead of Jade and I cannot stop thinking about it. SSR Floyd, SR Jamil, SR Ruggie, R Vil. I suppose we might need to swap out one of the second-years to keep the upper/lowerclassmen balance but I am starving for hyena/snake shenanigans.
>>570097202>SSR Floyd, SR Jamil, SR Ruggie, R VilOnly if we get...
>>570098495I had actually forgotten that part but 1000 times yes
‘cause thats boy dreams.
I don't even ship this but damn they look so good here.
>>570106198I know how that is. I don't fuck with it myself but I can understand the appeal. It's your ship-in-law.
Work on the raps
>>570106198True, they are hot together and even though I liked the dynamic between them in Book 6, it's not a ship that I really like, but hot and great art.
>>570136952
>>570140262I see the vision
>>570131528Pretty
>>570158867kek
I have had twst dreams three days in a row what is happeningI don't remember the first one but the second one had silver and the third one had riddle I am second-year pilled apparently
>>569201029Cute
>>570147036I wish Yana still shared sexy sketches of her characters on main. The rabbit event alone would have been insane.
Been seeing more of Twst popping up outside of the fandom recently. Somebody asking for a mobile game rec gets told to try Twst, somebody talking about men in anime gets a lecture about Twst, etc. Always a jump scare to be minding my own business and then suddenly see riddle outside of his enclosure.
>>569986673>no one knew enough JP to correct them so it just stayed.This is why EN fucking up the localization is so annoying. They're so infamous for changing content on EN-server that nobody trusts them. You see something on the wiki that is in direct contrast to what is said on EN and your first response is not "Oh someone must be writing fanfiction on the wiki," it's "Damn, I guess EN server changed dialogue again." EN's changes have made them less trustworthy than a wiki where people are writing blatant fanon. They deserve the bad reputation, but it shouldn't be this way. If they could just keep their hands to themselves we'd have more people noticing wiki vandalism and correcting it, but no, they just had to rewrite Trey's entire backstory for no goddamn reason, and then backtrack and rewrite it to what it was supposed to be years later after realizing that they removed the catalyst for his trauma, and they never even published a "sorry we fucked up, thank you for playing Disney's Twisted Wonderland" announcement, silently updating and hoping no one notices, with their mistake on YouTube for the past four years and staying there to perpetuate misinformation until the heat death of the universe while the only people who are ever going to see the accurate version are those who get Trey's dorm card sometimes after 2025 and actually bothered to both upgrade it and read the vignette. EN server is so fucked. I hope someone was held accountable for that but I doubt it. Probably just an "oops, ah well, we'll update it without saying anything and no one will notice." How many other plotlines, characters and other entire games have they been fucking up in the same way?I have big feelings about disney anime boy gambling simulators.
Lilia having special one-on-ones with the first year group in book 7 and that same group being cut off from the tournament in book 8 is giving big "here come the real main characters, the least interesting people on the cast" vibes. Yana foreshadowed it back in 2019 and it is coming true. In Yana we trust. But it makes me nervous.
>>570202264I'm pretty sure diaso, and especially Malleus will play the biggest role though. I'm hanging on to that
>>570204965Yeah if they're still going by the "previous book people are big in the next book" pattern then that will be a thing. And I'd like to follow malleus around all through book 8, he's so funny and now he's got so much emotional turmoil to deal with after going on a rampage to try and save someone he loves and then accidentally killing them instead and learning he was lied to his whole life and now everyone hates him, plus a physical handicap, plus he and lilia are basically married, he's so vulnerable while simultaneously being so powerful. The most interesting lizard in the world. Hioki Jun I will pay you all my money, just keep writing the novels I swear to god.
>>570202264Eh, I can relate anon but at least I have other things to look forward such as RSA housewardens, Diasomnia/Malleus' involvement, Crowley finally taking his mask off (be it figuratively, literally or both) and at least jpsisters are gonna be happy since they adore 1st years for some reason.
>>570209872Don't forget mina. M i n a. Mina mina mina. I refuse to believe that anyone in his dorm can ever get anything done, living under the same roof as Minajael. Ambrose like "why is everyone in the cleverest dorm failing all the time" and Mina like "I stopped doing yoga in the lounge for a week and grades went up a little but I can't imagine what the correlation might be. Anyway I'm going to go drape myself artfully along the side of a fountain for a little while and be gorgeous, bye."
Finished Tsumsted 2 heck yeah
>>570209872>RSA housewardensGonna take this opportunity to point something out, I'm assuming you're talking about the ones with the silhouettes shown? Because Mina and Rielle's profiles don't say they are housewardens. It's 'second year from marinafinne' and 'third year from dunasmina'. I didn't notice myself at first until I saw jp posts, really interesting and makes me wonder if they even have housewardens at all over there
>>570213804Is that the tiger house's normal dorm uniformIs that an entire dorm of male princesses in belly shirts
Finally, some Georgina/Azul /ss/ content
>>570213804I could've sworn one or both of them got called housewarden at some point but you're right, they never are. Neige was confirmed as housewarden but that was it. Nuts.
>>570202264Well, just because you don't like the first year group characters doesn't mean they're the least interesting or the worst characters; it's just your opinion. I love them. And I'm sure they will play an important role, but the OBs boys and the Diasomnia boys will also
>>570217460>it's just your opinion.No it's canon I saw it in Book 8-1043 there was a part where Trey says "The first-years are the least interesting characters according to anon"
>>570219234Callback to one of the funniest things this general has ever produced.
>The relationship between a bunch of characters and a literal blank slate has more chemistry than the ones between established characters that have numerous significant interactionsI think it's time to openly shame and shit on yumefoids because those delusional retards are too conceited for their own good.
>>570223891Impossible. Selfshippers don't understand shame. All they care about is themselves. As long as you're talking about them, letting what they say bother you, keeping eyes on theselves, they'll be happy. They live and die on the dopamine of people on the internet giving them the attention they don't get in real life.The only way to deal with them is to ignore them. They hate that more than anything. It's not very cathartic, but it is extremely effective.
>>570224125When the subreddit banned yume art two of those types had a complete meltdown, accusing the mods of trying to shove them off into empty subreddits where no one would pay attention to them and whining about not being able to post fanart of themselves. It was really sad but not in the "I feel bad for you" way, just the "I hope you're not old enough to vote" way.
>>570226004They didn't ban yume art. They just told the preteens to keep their OC shit that no one wants to see to one day a week.
The idea of ruggie being lowkey horny for the prince that went crazy and almost murdered him is so great. No one would blame you little hyena.>>570210083Who has the second-most unstable fanbase: Mina, Leona, Neige, Vil. Most unstable fanclub is obviously Malleus.
>>570227884Like. Do we mean. Real life? Or canon?Cause I think Malleus wins at both. In the game he's got the draconians and in real life he is like jesus where the people who love him the most and the people who hate him the most are somehow equally obnoxious. I don't think we know enough about the other fan clubs to be able to make an informed judgement. But Savanaclaw crying over tsum Leona will always be great. Help us Ruggie, our housewarden is a bean.
>>570227884True, LeoRug is one of the best ships in the game.
>>570186867>somebody talking about men in anime gets a lecture about TwstI'm nosy what's the context here
If the boys were on a football team, how would you organize them? And them in football uniforms!
>>570270134Idia as the goalkeeper
Cannot be bothered to wade through all of Lilia's dream and you guys have taught me better than to believe the wiki so outsourcing the questions to any lore anons out there - is there any indication of roughly what age Maleanor was in Lilia's dream?Guess obvious answer is just default to ~1000 years because that's when dragonfae reach adulthood, but I've always kinda had the headcanon that Maleanor was shy of that mark when she bullied the senate into accepting her and Raverne's technically teen wedding kek.From what Lilia mentions the trio of Lilia+Ravene+Maleanor all sounded to be equivalent like middleschoolers when they got lost in the woods (out of the early stages of childhood but just started being tutored in magic). At less than 300 years old Lilia is deemed by NRC to be technically at the age to start highschool, but at that point he's very well established as Maleanor's right hand. Feels more natural to me for brilliant teenager to be the right hand of an equally brilliant and powerful teenaged princess, but then again Lilia being the right than to an adult princess can just be explained away by Maleanor using the magic spell called favoritism.
>>570286467We dunno. Everyone tends to default to assuming that Mel and Lilia were around the same age years-wise for some reason but canon never says that. There is never any indication that Lil, Mel and Rav were around the same age. Rav and Mel could have been but I've always had the feeling that Lilia was actually significantly younger than the other two. But since bat fae have shorter life spans on average he aged pretty close to them maturity-wise, even if he was a few hundred years younger.So yeah I think your "brilliant teenage right hand to an adult princess" makes sense.But the game also kind-of-sort-of establishes that while draconia are crazy-long lived, bat-fae (re: lilia) are closer to the "take off a zero" system of comparing them to human age. In 7-2 when he talks to Vil and Rook is where we get the age info-dump. So Lilia could also have been a 30-year-old-equivalent right hand general. And he is dying at 70-equivalent even though his species is supposed to live until 100-equivalent.
>>570287282>Rav and Mel could have been but I've always had the feeling that Lilia was actually significantly younger than the other two.Yeah Mel ribbing Lilia about his baby marriage proposal does read like a much younger Lilia proposing to an older Mel.But then again if Rev and Mel were much older than Lilia it doesn't make sense that all three of them were helpless in the woods, because surely Mel as the crown princess would have started her magical tutoring as soon as possible?Guess I'll have to go with vibes (which are honestly leaning onto teen Mel locking on and dragging Rav to the altar, because in what world can you see crowley being the one to take initiative with a proposal kek)
>>570288847>Post all of that and forget that fae ages are relativeDammit. But I really hope that the RSA good fairy's part actually expands on the lore a bit, especially the day fae vs night fae beef that technically is what got mel killed
>>570289316What I wanna know is if Lilia's lifespan is a dragon fae's now because of the whole 'same as Malleus's' thing. Is it tied to Malleus so when he dies Lilia dies too?
>>570291627Samefag, meant to say the same magic circuits
>>570291627That is the exact same though that I had. Lilia's magic is Malleus' magic is LIlia's magic. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure that even on JP Idia's phrasing wasn't "Lilia's magic is still its own thing it is just identical to what Malleus' magic also looks like," he says more like "Lilia's magic is now Malleus' magic." Malleus can't function without Lilia and Lilia can't live without Malleus. Oh my god. Yana is a genius.
>>570291980 samefag because now I’m thinking about thisSo we know pattern 1 of de-aging being Vil, who is independent of Malleus and will age normally now and won’t die if malleus dies. Malleus said something like he shared a bit of his magic. Kind of like the colosseum he fixed up, it won’t crumble again just because he dies or loses his magic.But Lilia has a whole thing explaining how his issue and Vil’s are different. I guess it depends on if Lilia is using Malleus like an IV with a constant flow of magic/life force keeping him alive or if it’s something else. Personally I like the thought of Malleus and Ortho also having Lilia there with them as a member of twst’s immortals.
>>570295464If Lilia has truly gone from “the dragon’s hand” to “the dragon’s horn” like he said, it does rather seem as though he is now an extension of Malleus, at least magically. He operates in the same way, his magic operates in the same way, as Malleus’ horn. He is like a vital organ. Literally one part of Malleus, both magically and emotionally.
>>570299998I know there are people here who hate the Maleficent live action movies but without it we wouldn't have Silver raised by Lilia and Malleus, and Lilia becoming Malleus's horn is Diaval being Maleficent's wings in the movie which Maleficent literally asks of Diaval 'I need you to be my wings'. Most likely when Malleus grows his horn back, Lilia will stay by his side as his close friend and confidante despite not needing to be his horn any more, just like Maleficent and Diaval. Yana pays more attention to details in Disney movies than og Disney themselves
>>570304864Yana really does. She can change shit into gold. Doesn't change the fact that those movies suck. Two things can be true. And without the Disney shackles, with just Yana let loose to do as she pleases, we might have actually gotten something even better. No shade on what we got, but did we get gold because of Disney's shit movies? Or did we get gold DESPITE DIsney's movies being so shit? Would better source material or original Yana-content have given us something better? We'll never know. But I am not going to give Disney's shit movies credit after Yana put in the work to come up with something against all odds. Her job was probably made harder because of that shit, not easier.
>>570309389I like those movies anon they're kinda my guilty pleasure you're making me sad...but I agree with Yana turning shit into gold. I only meant that those movies were like the keywords to spark Yana's creativity, that's the extent of the credit I'll give them. Terrible stuff can have good ideas that when given to someone competent will become incredible. Gotta admit though I don't know if I would've enjoyed Disney movies as much if it wasn't for twst. Probably not. I rewatch them all just to point out what twst did with the ideas and concepts in them
>>570310897I too enjoy objectively shit movies, no worries. Not those ones, which I regret sitting through immensely, but I do know the feeling. And I also feel the urge to rewatch Disney stuff sometimes because of Twst and it is mildly annoying because I know that is exactly what they want us to do. I wonder how far off we are from Disney legit just hiring Yana to write a movie for them. After the checks and balances of their CEOs and project managers and whatnot it will be just as shit as everything else they've been putting out these days by the end, but having even the slightly hint of Yana-ness in a huge-budget movie like that would be so much better than their recent streak of "what the fuck is even happening here."But then again we've seen what happens when people are given free rein to do whatever they want with Yana's ideas, and it ends in shit like the live-action Kuroshi movie and the first season of the anime. No one can do Yana's stuff right except Yana. At least Twst recognized that from the start and had her in charge of the entire thing from day 1 instead of having to learn the hard way like the anime did.
>>570316606The next time I see fandom bitching on literally any topic I want to jump in like "okay enough of that, now it is time for us all to talk about Mina."
>>570250316Twst fans are very easy to summon. If there's a conversation on men in anime and you namedrop someone they will descend to talk about how Twst has men who wear heels and makeup and it's seen as normal and also there is this character named Rook who is super gay and that's Riddle Rosehearts, you think he looks like a girl? Well there are no girls except family members but that's a feature not a bug, there was that one lady but she's dead now, and also guess how many children this shota has fathered I dare you. Those are the talking points I see most often.
Gnawing on my screen for Leona's bonbon card. Longest 6 weeks of my life.
>>570327786Would you accept an ortho in this trying time
>>570319732Ok whats minas favorite sex position
>>570336280Gonna need to put together a sexy diagram of Mina + the-entire-cast to work that one out. He strikes me as the top-tier of top-tier power bottoms.
>>570332223I'm so glad he gets a silly hat too.
Malleus bonbon pose is still the slutttiest so far. Leona might be the only one that can beat it
>>570353404>One of the purest boys has one of the sexiest bonbon cardDid he learn to be that slutty from Lilia...
>>570353404I hope so…
>>570336090Poor Prince?
>Twst pajama bottoms for sale on hot topic>Sizes XL-3XL only ones sold out
>>570386569Wow, color me surprised
>>570365583Damn that was fast
I always thought this pair and their relationship were underrated, I'd love to read more about them together, maybe more soon.
>>570401290Vil's delight in Ortho is so great. He both knows and loves that Ortho is a menace. He will scold a walking nuclear bomb and the bomb will concede to his point. The perfect role model.
Took us four years to get through all of the club cards. That is nuts. 2/3rds of the game's run was spent trickling out club uniforms, I love it.
>>570423714Two years since the end of Master Chef and still nothing. Maybe we'll get the next series to replace clubwear cards sometime in 2028.
Training camp ends 26 so JP sisters are saying new chapter on 26.I think that is close enough to the event on the 21 for there to be another round of VA reveals next Sunday. I can think of no other reason why Twst would suddenly have a stage at OshiFes.
>>570433897Would be funny if it was something out of left field. Everyone waiting for announcements of seiyuu or Tsum 4 or Season 2 or something and it's just like "Coming soon to Tokyo: Twst Orchestra, we hired Kato Kazuki to sing again and this time the violins will be live." Would be physically stuffing my credit card into my screen.
Mina gonna deepthroat himself some Jamil Viper
>>570440848JP uses eating as a metaphor for sex but maybe yana is keeping all of her erotic wordplay into kuro. Or most of it at least, I know the fish talk in euphemisms a lot.
>>570437080>Tsum 4They wouldn't dare
>>570449809We deserve a bean-birb. But four Tsum events in a row would be a lot.
>>570449809SSR CrowleySR CrewelSR TreinR Vargas
>>570449809They will
>>570454789Good! I don't know why, but the Tsum cards have some of the best arts in the game.
>>570462361Yeah, they went really hard with them, especially with the last 3 SSRs
>>570467990I wonder if Crowley really has any connection to the raven from The Evil Queen.Perhaps Yana really liked the idea of Diaval from the Maleficent movie, and based Crowley on him, even more so as Snow White, the first Disney movie, and seems to have more importance in the game and at the College.
>>570480059I think he's based on both unless the brother theory is real and Ravene is hiding for some reason.
https://x.com/hagiko_0098/status/2065818165419131049?s=46
>>569102951Finally, some good art
>>570471458babies
>>570471458>Ruggie remembers the barbs
>>570513554>that uniformSomething about them always struck me as a little... non-white.
>>570515195They're kind of italian-coded, of course you think of them as non-white
>>570513554Jobbers
Season 2 when?
>>570522232Canned like the manga
When will Idia OB show up again?
>>570524073Just gonna hack into Mochizuki Ken's Microsoft Outlook calendar and look that up
>>570522232Would you like to place your guess on Season 2 being the OshiFes announcement? My vote goes to new RSA character(s) and their VA(s).
>>570483315Lilia not recognizing Raverne because of some weird quirk to do with his "can't find things for shit" disability. "How did you not find him he was right there the whole time" "ok look it says right in my profile I cannot find things for shit, it's my own deal."
Funny that we have an actual Alice when I see this art
>>570541226I enjoy how sassy Ace looks. The RSA shota is 100% alice but it'd be funny if he wasn't. He's like a momerath or something.
Help I had someone ask me how we know that the Queendom of Roses is a monarchy
One of the funniest parts of the Tsumsted events for me is that they connect. You think they'd do something like a hard reset of "Tsum 1: what are these beans?", "Tsum 2: what are these beans?", "Tsum 3: what are these beans?" but instead by the third one they're like "god fucking damn it enough with the beans already."
>>570524073On JP server? Hard to say but if I have to guess, I'd say they might rerun the OBs banners during the next anniversary.On EN? They released him like 3 months and and this server is usually erratic so it's even harder to make a guess here.
Since it's a training camp tomorrow I wonder if 8-3 is gonna have battles in it. Like a new battle map system for the tournament and we gotta use Azul, Jamil, Lilia and Ruggie. I knew I shouldve gotten xmas Ruggie.
>>570551587That's what jp twt was saying when twstjp randomly started posting a lot of battle tips some days ago. Yana even talked about it too.
>>570552450Yeah I know. Just wondering if we're getting a new style of map maybe.
>>570533607I wonder who from the cast of One Piece and/or musical theater they are gonna kidnap this time
>>570563249They keep hiring guys that have never or only just barely had any va experience before, it's so funny. And also bizarre that it is always the best choice they could have possibly made.
>>570566301Twst has so many people that either have never worked outside of theater or are legendary veterans from 20 years ago. Getting them all in one room would be bizarre. Does Onosaka even know he is technically coworkers with Sakamoto.
>>570587728Cute
>>570599780I've seen this one before and it is so hot every time. I know Cater gets no game but damn he is sexy.
>>570623945Anime-promo Cater always looked to me like he accidentally fell out of a BL anime.
Malleus and Riddle interactions are the cutest.
>>570632360I still don’t get the logic of putting him lilac highlights
>>570645963I don’t get it either. People come at me like “well characters like malleus and blah blah have gradients too in the game it’s not just vil” and I’m just like shut up, when I say that the anime giving gradients to everyone messes with how unique Vil’s gradients are from one color to another completely different color, you know what I mean. I guess it’s just a 2020s anime thing that no one is allowed to have one shade of hair, I dunno, but I think they dropped the ball with that choice.
I miss Ruggie. Looking forward to the NBC2 rerun.
>>570657174Might get him sooner than that if chapter 3 is dropping next Friday
Baby
>>570663842Best boooooy
I've still got jpsisters posting swing all over the place, it is so great
>>570677439His legs look different than usual for some reason. Cause he's not hovering, I guess? They look like actual legs.
>>570538852Also it's been like +400 years since he last saw Raverne, all of which he spent thinking the other was dead, and pale skin dark hair appears to be a super common combo in Briar Valley. With the mask and if Crowley is putting on a completely different personality from how he was Raverne then I do see him not making the connection. But really I just hope Crowley = Raverne is true to see everyone crashing out at that loser being Malleus' dad kek
>>570683030>to see everyone crashing outPretty much. I am cool with whatever Yana wants to do, as soon as she gave us a canon throuple it was clear we just need to trust her ideas, Yana take the wheel, etc. etc. But every time I see ENers like "if Crowley is Raverne I am throwing my phone into a goddamn lake" I get a little more hopeful that he is.
>>570690859>Crash outI really meant the in universe crash out (Waka-sama is related to that???????) since everyone's opinion on Crowley is in the negatives kekBut yeah wouldn't mind the irl crashout too (literally saw a brain-dead take that there was no way Crowley could be raverene because...his ears aren't as pointy as mal's, completely ignoring Malenore was knife eared as fuck). Honestly it's looking like Yana is fusing maleficent's raven with the snow white raven in that both of them are striving for their queens (in Crowley's case it's to beat RSA and lay claim to his queen's princess glow maybe????)
>>570692027>(in Crowley's case it's to beat RSA and lay claim to his queen's princess glow maybe????)Oh I like that, nice. We can combine a ton of theories and come up with something like "Crowle's um has something to do with turning back time and he's been working towards unlocking the strongest versions of the overblotters cause he needs them if he's going to get the shiny rock to bring his queen back to life" or something, that's like four theories in one and kind of weird but you get the idea.I saw today a thing about Crowley being the evil queen's crown and Raverne being Maleficent's raven and have never felt so stupid for not coming up with that one. Similar but different like, like their ears.Raverne+Crowley = brothers? Sure. Raverne = Crowley? Why not. The old 2020 theory that Malleus = Crowley? No problem. All are welcome.
>>570692782Don't buy into the brothers theory myself purely because it's super sus that Yana didn't confirm Raverene as dead at the end of chapter 7 when she bothered to do that for Leah. That and the time travel aspect makes me think Crowley is after the blot crystals + princess glow to maybe go back in time to stop his queen dying? Maybe the reason why he's MIA in Lilia's dream was that he did tango with Dawn Knight, got gravely injured, as only recover when it was far too late. Malleus potentially being the major players to stop Crowley's scheme will be a nice conclusion to his own character arc about learning to let go/move on/waking up from dreamsOnly problem is where Grim plays into things. From chap 6 we know the spells on him predate the Draconia family drama - maybe Crowley stumbled upon him and decided to use him for his own ends?
>>570694402A theory I saw for why Raverne is gone is cause his ultimate goal is to be together with Meleanor, but in all the different timelines he attempted the only one that could possibly work was the timeline where she died first. There was no way he could save both her and their son for some reason, he can only be with his wife after she is left to die. So that's what he did. And now he is in phase two, bring her back, no matter how many teenagers-and-Leona he has to sacrifice to make it happen.For Grim, I'd say it's less than "he is collecting the blot crystals" and more "he is actively encouraging Grim to eat them." No idea why, maybe Chimera-Grim is required to make things happen. Maybe the students try to stop him when they realize what he's doing and he sends Grim out to eat them while he performs his resurrection ceremony, I dunno. I am also 103% convinced that Grim is the phantom that ate the original Ortho. If Crowley is truly a time-traveler going back and forth to save Meleanor from the same death he abandoned her to, maybe he had a hand in getting Grim caught by STYX in the first place so that Idia would free him, he'd eat Ortho and that would ultimately lead to Idia overblotting. I need wall with maps on it, and a lot of string, and some pushpins.
>>570696669Dropped him off at Styx so he’d kill ortho and then picked him up again in the mountains 10 years later to drop him on the island. Also grim’s card being a mirror of Mickey Mouse throws me. Is he Oswald, is he a phantom, is he Dinah, is he a bishounen, what is happening.

Can't believe en is getting a third fairy gala IF rereun they really fucked up the scheduling by going so fast
>>570790296Jack in heels is peak, though.
>>570790296You shall not hear a breath of ill will from me because it is a precious chance for my chronically late to jump on the bandwagon ass to bring him home.Now if you excuse me I'm going to return to my regularly programmed scheduling of crying that I missed his bunny rerun.
>>570795437Happy for you silsisI wonder if your boy is gonna have a big role in 8 like the previous books tend to do or if he had a big enough part in 7 that he's gonna take a back seat, or if Twst is gonna change up the pattern again.
>>570798374I like Silver but both him and Sebek had a lot of screen time already please let Malleus do his thing we didn't even see him much in ch7 I am smashing the lizard button lizard lizard lizard lizard
>>570799664I am worried for Mallefish now that he is stronger than only 90% of the population instead of 99%. Like no sarcasm, legit concerned that something is going to happen and he won't be strong enough but doesn't know his own limitations yet and oh god. He was already confused all the time, now he is confused and physically broken and mentally and emotionally just went through a washing machine and also killed his most important person and they expect him to perform an obstacle course for their amusement and also his mother's own treasure, stolen by the man who murdered her and wanted to ride him like a horse? He needs at least a long weekend to try and process some of this, damn.
>>570800794And they didn't team Lilia up with him in case he overexerts his magic and it gets too painful. I'm worried and intrigued too. Same as Ruggie not in magift why are these choices being made
So how OP is he actually? Will he turn out to be stronger than pre-nerf Malleus or nah?
>>570801621They set it up so that it sounds like Leona foresaw something that only Ruggie is gonna be able to do. The question is, are they gonna rug pull us. I like it when the boys win and are happy, sassy assholes, I do not like to see them suffer. So the ideal would be "Leona was right, Ruggie did exactly what he needed to do, they win, yay," but my fear is "Well Leona was technically right and Ruggie did do exactly what he needed to do but then there was this unforeseen element that no one could have predicted that compromised everything and it's not really anyone's fault but now Ruggie is not only out of magift but both out of magift and a loser and it's lowkey Leona's fault kind of."Noo. Let the baby hyena have this one thing he has been through some shit. He finally trusts his lion again. Also Lilia was literally just dead, he has earned this. Jamil and Azul are also there and they deserve to win based on sassiness levels alone, off the goddamn charts, I love them both. I am so excited for next friday.
>>570798374I do believe there'll be some drama surrounding him when we reach the Aurora dorm because.... Aurora dorm. And that dorm has what's 99% gonna be a day fae as it's head.Going by his hair going gold->silver in chapter 7 he still has remnants of whatever blessings the good fairies placed on Dawn Knight which then passed over to him, and I kinda hope they'll expand on what those blessings were, actually. (Animal charming is definitely one, as well as probably being peerless in combat which is why he can always beat Sebek). Probably a very pipe dream but would welcome some more Dawn Knight back story - why did the fairies choose him in the first place ect ect.But really lizard is gonna have the lions share of the plot this time around once his dad reveals himself as the big bad.
>>570802461I want Ruggie to win and surprise everyone, but I love Azul and Jamil, I want them to lose, especially with their arrogant attitude, and I want to see their reaction to losing and being "humiliated".
>>570814345Honestly with how Jamil is already doubting Mina I think they're going to narrowly lose, and that's what going to get the rest of them to lock in (while giving RSA a false sense of security).Also the last twistune event I played was dancer Deuce back when it first ran in JP - if I want to 10/10 max copy silver, do I just grind perfumes now and then blow my load in the second half of the event when the later twistunes drop? Or should I be going hard from now?
>>570802347Weaker than Malleus pre nerf but now stronger than nerfed Malleus. Otherwise there wouldn't be a fight, lizard would curbstomp
>>570833762Kek what's the context here
>>570835043Lizard wandered off and nearly missed final boarding
>>570836993Funny
>Silsis who caved and did a ten roll to try for Ace because he is a cutie and very pretty (but not as pretty as Silver)
>>570836993Oh my god suddenly leonatsum
>>570853749Grats on the Ortho get, he was one of 3 that I had to go to full pity. Ace on the other hand came fully uncapped on the first 10 roll.
Hexed event soon
>>570872303Don’t jinx it anon I just saw a thing for that it looks…so uninteresting.
>>570879489They made the boy into a girl cause they don’t need to even try to cater to boys anymore, not with Star Wars and marvel. They want that kpop demon hunter money so now they’re going girl power. Pretty much the opposite of twst’s target audience.
>>570882867I do like the idea of "this character was originally female but then we made her into a guy in the final cut." I feel like we never see that. Or maybe I am just Twstpilled and think everything should be like that.
>>570888571Even the demon cats. ESPECIALLY the demon cats.
>>570897136/twst/ really carrying the flag for ikemen grim
>>570901969Even if he's not Vil/Lizard tier I want him to be prettier than all the freshman please. I want to see Adeuce throwing a fit.
>>570906363Holy shit that fanart yes yes yes that it exactly what I want come on Yana I believe in you.
>>570906363"Hot for Grim" was not on my 2026 bingo card
>>570853749Congrats anon, that Ortho is one of the most gorgeous cards in the entire game (Fairy Ace is super cute too) and I'd roll for him too but I gotta save for OB Tako.
>>570868518>>570912115Thank you anons, now he and fairy gala silver can flit around being pretty princesses together. But honestly Jade was probably thrilled to see that his spook made me think that things had never been so over.
>>570776506Four days
Update to force feeding twist down my mother's throat>Not forced anymore she always asks when we can watch it now>Still an Idia-fag>Is also now a disciple of the churches of Wani-chan and Lion.>Had to show her Sebek's birthday bloom to placate her at one point and she guessed his answer to the second question before he even spoke>Book 6 made her impression of Pom take a 180 (positive)The moisturiser heist completely redeemed Rook for her, very interested to see how she takes his dream kek.Her top three are definitely Idia/Sebek/Leona so I know she's gonna love lost in the book 1.
>>570931907As a fellow brainlet I feel Deuce, that's also how I react whenever someone is trying to explain a board/cards game rules...
>>570872303This would be ironic, since originally the protagonist was supposed to be a boy, but Disney got cowardly and changed it to a girl, making it much more generic. So Yana would create a witch boy based on this movie, having the courage to do what Western Disney didn't, and I bet he would look better than the Hexed protagonist.
fellow kurofags, what do we think of the newest chapter?
>>570943915I haven't read the chapter yet, but did he appear in the flashback? Well, I'm even more curious about what's really happening in the past!
>>570943981>did he appear in the flashback? Yeah and in only like, 2 panels but it was enough to quench my thirst. Man looks even more gorgeous in Yana's current style.
I know we'd get the heat death of the universe before this but a toy story event would be so fun.
>>570954393But who would SSR be? Ortho?
>>570960274Ortho is the obvious one but a wildcard would be lizard, especially now that his shit childhood isn't classified. Plus he's the only boy who's actually showed a canon interest in toys.Ortho can be his duo magic since they haven't had an in game duo yet.
>>570964870You know, I keep thinking about which character would be the best match for Jesse, to become her friend, which guy has the worst fear of being abandoned and forgotten and who has already been abandoned?
>>570964870Depends on your definition of "toys," I guess. Idia goes on a whole rant about figurines in Glomas and Ruggie is kinda hinted at having bought some, not because he cares because he doesn't, but because he wants to scalp them.
>>570980962The "Idia creates an Ortho figure" 4koma is one of my faves
Bump?

>>571003236Oh my god feed me the general Lilia plush
>>571005421Tweels are there as fish but looking at the prototype they’re a little too bobble heady for me. Like they’re all bobble heady but without the balance of clothes and accessories there’s something off about it
>>571010431 samefagI think it's cause their faces are a different color from the bodies so they look like the heads of one plush and the bodies of another
best booooooy
>>570980962Funny I was thinking of Ruggie being in it because he has experience with dealing with kids (slum children)That leaves one spot free. I don't think it should be Idia since a shroud brothers event needs one of them to be SSR. Riddle so he can be shit childhood buddies with lizard or Rook to be whimsy buddies with Ortho but then they've already been with lizard in the eternity float event...
>>571025438We can never have too much Riddlizard. I think there is one whole line in the entire game where Riddle is like "wait a second did malleus and I both grow up weirdly isolated from the world around us leaving us grossly maladjusted and emotionally stunted as a result or nah" and I live for it.
Is anyone excited about this? I admit I'm curious about how much new information it might contain and how far it will go, what clothes and art will be in this book.And Yana said that now, thanks to Square, she'll have more free time to supervise the book? And could that mean Novel 3?
>>571026020I was thinking about it but maybe she means less "My schedule is freeing up! I have more time to do stuff now!" and more "they got this one to me with enough time before the deadline that I can stuff it into my schedule somehow" or "the first one was on a super tight timeline so I barely got to look at it but this one doesn't need to be done for ages so I can work on it over a longer period whenever I find the time to do so."I am super excited about her comment about putting in more rough drafts auhg show us the secrets Yana.
Rook looks cute
Man looking at the Deuce liongarb and the scalding sands Vil card made me sad that they weren't actually part of the event. Granted the borefest that is Scalding sands doesn't deserve a remix but Deuce going full delinquent during the fights would have been so fun. As would Floyd wrecking havoc during the bunny race.Also makes me wonder what Yana had over the team to get them to greenlight fairy gala remix.
>>571032673She had Ortho, and I keep thinking that she had the idea and started drawing Ortho, and the art turned out so incredible and the card was so pretty that she managed to convince the others to do the remix!And about the cards you mentioned, Deuce Liongarb, Scalding Sands Vil, and Bunny Floyd, they don't have vignettes, right? I still think these new cards should have gotten vignettes (just like the club cards), it's sad that Ortho Outdoor Gear got a vignette.
>>571033380Yeah they don't have vignettes which I always thought was ridiculous (even more so for the damn club wear cards, like at least you could expand on their clubs hello!!!) Honestly fairy gala works well for a remix because you can mix and match who's taking part to give a fresh event. Meanwhile with bunny race and bead fight Deuce and Leona have to be included because they both double as a meat the family event, so just adding a single new character means there's enough fresh content for a remix....but I will fight for the fact that bunny floyd SHOULD have made the OG event lineup over Epel.
>>571032673>Also makes me wonder what Yana had over the team to get them to greenlight fairy gala remix.I was just thinking about this yesterday and like, Yana gave that interview right, and she talks about her favorite disney movies, and two out of four of them have now been adapted into Lost in the Book events. They couldn't figure out a way to stuff them into the timeline so they just went "fuck it" and gave everyone amnesia.And then Fairy Gala Remix, where the catalyst does seem like it's what >>571033380 is saying where Yana drew something pretty and was like "We're doing fairy gala again" and everyone was like "okay then, we're doing fairy gala again." Cause I know that's a team and all, lots of people there, collaboration etc etc but Yana's name is at not only at the top of the staff list, she is like the first five names at the top of the staff list. It makes it feel like she is really calling the shots and doing whatever the fuck she wants and as long as she doesn't put in Baul fucking Lilia on screen or anything else that will cause the mouse to go "maybe we shelve that idea" she can basically do whatever she wants. And it's worked for 6 years. And I love that for her.
>>571036201>Baur fucking Lilia on screenSloppy fourths after the royal couple tag team him kek.I've been seeing some godtier malelili art on my tl but after getting through Lilia's dream I just cannot ship them together. It's not even because I don't find Lilia sexy or because I'm not down with pseudo incest (hell half my OTPs are literally incest) it's just that they're dynamic is just....too pure.
>>571041353>dynamic is just....too pure.I have seen JP Mallelili shippers that pretty much have the same idea, there was a funny post I've read once where a shipper said their nsfw stuff is them being degen liking porn but the actual Mallelili is so pure and true they probably just literally sleep on the same bed and an egg will pop up next to them the next day
>>571041785>they probably just literally sleep on the same bed and an egg will pop up next to them the next dayCanon malelili baby acquisition to me honestly and I won't hear otherwise.Honestly I find it so funny that I'm like "nah" to them when I'm down with reading degen literature of Lilia with silver and sebek.
Kek what's with this 'Ace is a lookist and would treat Yuu like shit if they're plain or ugly' discourse that's been taking place on jp twitter sphere? I mean yeah, dude is an asshole (like every single character that is not named Silver in this game) but he never struck me as the type who would discriminate people based on looks and if you count the manga, he seems to be chill and friendly with each one of Yuu.
>>571081267
>>571026020I was looking at the list of events that will be featured in the book, Vargas Camps, A Firelit Sky, Harveston Sledathon, Port Fest, Glorious Masquerade, Cloudcalling on the Savanna and Stage in Playful Land.I'm thinking that there might be concept art of Rollo and other characters, since this time Yana says there should be more new and unreleased art, but I wonder if there will be art of Deuce Liongarb and the Scalding Sands Vil and Jamil, since they count as cards and characters in these events, or if that would be in volume 3.
>>571083078Saving the super-special ones for their own thing would be very Twst. But anyway, give me the angry catholic and the sassy fox drawings. Those alone are enough for me to pay for that whole book.
>>571067532>dude is an assholeAnd the thing is most of that is a front put up so he doesn't appear as weak to the rest of NRC. Yeah he's a a mouthy little shit who does enjoy teasing people, but when push comes to shove he's going to be the first one in there to back you up (and then deny deny deny he was doing that when the dust settles, because being nice isn't COOL guys, this isn't RSA)>him only punching Riddle AFTER Riddle insults Yuu>picking a fight with Vil after seeing Vil snapping at Epel despite barely knowing Epel at that point, >Stitch event SR story where his first instinct against a mysterious foe is to tell everyone to escape while he holds the line>fairy gala SR where he mocks the shit out of Silver/Jack yes, but in order to light a fire under them to spur them on when they're both flagging from trainingHell his dream is basically stripping away most of that bad guy front to show the hidden heart of gold underneath - all his buddies having a happy carefree vacation with Yuu being able to jump back and forth between worlds so they're not left out.So no, he absolutely will not be outright malicious to Yuu based on looks alone.Yeah he may not want to date them (but desu going by ghost bride he prioritizes vibing well with a partner over their looks anyway) but he'd still accept them as a friend so long as Yuu isn't a total jerk to him. Hell if Yuu is very unkept due to self neglect he might throw a few jabs their way, but again it'll be like fairy gala where he's doing that to piss Yuu off enough that they go to tidy themselves up just to spite him. So the asshole version of an intervention.
>>571087782>>571067532I am interested in what arguments people are using for "he totally will" that doesn't boil down to "Ace being a troublemaker because he's bored".Hell take the last part away and Ace is just a step or two down from literal NRC angels (Silver+Kalim+Jack)
>>571089203One of the best things about Ace is that in this story of princes and faeries and hollywood megastars he's just basketball boy. He and Ruggie might be the realest teenage boys on the whole cast. Maybe Trey "mr normal" clover too but he's got some trauma giving him some unique "forced to grow up too fast" spice. Ace has no family trauma we've heard about and is not particularly smart or strong and he's wandering around a minefield of emotionally stunted and traumatized teenages with life experience way beyond their years like "man ya'll are all really fucked up huh" as a way better audience surrogate than Grim's ghost handler.
>>571067532Those saying that lack reading comprehension, have the memory of a goldfish, or are replacing reality with their headcanon. Ace is one of the few who makes clear what type of partner he wants and nothing about looks there. And he just so happens to do a lot of those thing with Yuu - watching scary movies, riding rollercoasters, etc.
>>571067532
>>571102963I'm lowkey convinced that half the people who push Malleyuu over Aceyuu are just squicked out because Ace is 17, they aren't, and they've convinced themselves that imaginary relationships with imaginary friends must adhere to real-world morality. They don't want to imagine the prefect being age-appropriate because they don't care about stories about other people they only care about stories about themselves, but they also lack the imagination to overcome this imaginary dilemma. They are self-gatekeeping. They want to be morally right more than anything, and if that requires ignoring the mountain of canon Aceyuu for the guy with the emotional maturity of a toddler but the physical body of an adult then so be it.Personally I am Adeuce and and LeoMal so I don't care who wins the Yuubowl, but even I can tell that Aceyuu has way more pandering than Malleus "I have blinders that keep me from seeing anyone who isn't Lilia" Draconia.
>>571108220But isn't the push for Malleyuu more of an en thing? I don't get that impression for jp, they seem to be balanced, maybe a little more skewed towards bl shipping than yume but it could be my algorithm. I haven't seen the ace lookist on jp twt thing anon is saying personally. But I do think shipping and yume discourse can all be kinda dumb because no one is actually winning or anything becoming really canon in the strictest sense of the word in something like this. Sure some have more 'content' like Mallelili, but officially they are still friends. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone screeching about twst being queerbaiting, feels like a while ago people loved to do that but now it's more puritanical discourse I guess
>>571109773Oh right we were talking about JP sorry, I got off track.I saw a bit of the lookism debate and it was a JPsis like "I don't think Ace does lookism I think we, the prefects, do lookism and we are projecting that onto him," which was funny. I wonder which weirdly started that drama up in the first place.Complaining about queerbaiting would require that the loudest people on EN acknowledge that there is a foundation for BL shipping, and the loudest people on EN are mostly self-shippers, so that is something they can never, ever do. A few years ago we had an anon in this very general crowing about how Twst is a Yuu shipping buffet and poor fujoshis, all they get are little crumbs. Haven't heard from them since Book 7 kek
God I wish this were real
It’s Friday I wonder if something is getting announced today
>>571121476I can't remember, did we get Mina and Rielle reveal before the stage event and Anime Japan? We did, right? And people scrambling to figure out who they were voiced by for a few days? We might get a new RSA guy today? Maybe? Or not?
>>571128959Reveal was before anime japan yes, I remember because they asked if anyone in the audience had yet to read the newest update because the segment will have spoilers. If we do get a new guy teaser I'm guessing the next story update will actually finish relic labyrinth and show the characters. Second one is Magift right? So who do anons think will be in it? Riots will happen if Leona isn't for sure kek
>>571129438Leona just like "nah." If Leona assigned Ruggie to somewhere does that mean the housewardens assign where people go? If Azul assigned Floyd to magift can Leona say no? I bet Cater will be there. Two of my favorites.
Silsis do you have this one
We got nothin, damn. What could they possibly have to talk about on sunday.
>>571141496Seems like kind of a small venue for a season 2 announcement. New event?
>>571141496Our ships and why we like them?
>>571147205A couple of guys who sound just like Kalim and Jade being like "and then that scene in Book 4 when Azujami are so obviously flirting--"
>>571147205>>571148310Kek I misread your post and thought you were asking what could we talk about until sunday.
>>571149621I wish I was articulate enough to write essays like normal fangirls do but my interest in ships begins and ends with "it is hot."
Hot
>>571116285True
https://x.com/spalik_jp/status/2067985922608783791
>>571171626Hmmm
>>571171626The date is right after Sunday, and after we had news about Twisted Wonderland. Very interesting.
>>571191342I'd like to see Idia and Floyd ending up in the same team for the actual competition, their interactions are funny.
>>571196595...is the oshifes thing on the 21, the one with the twst seiyuu that isn't gonna be introducing RSA, is that gonna be a sparklink tie-in
>>571203396Saw a TwstJPsis saying "bells? sounds like it's gonna be cinderella based!" but like...those ARE the bells in the twst bgm, right? Or am I just twstpilled and hearing it everywhere.
>>571196798I just love that we're getting a bunch of upperclassmen interacting together, I hope that's a theme of Book 8 it's everything I've ever wanted
best boy sighting
I think SilCay would be kinda cute.
>>571237703Silver is so chill he could hook up with basically anyone and it would technically work. Asexual. Pansexual. Vil. The entirety of Heartslabyul. Silver just be down to fuck.
I want Trey in the Magift event just so we can see why they had to take him out in ch2
I wonder if Yana has friends who are former yankee and that is where she gets these ideas for deuce. Asking them about their high school days and they're like "we got really good at braiding hair cause we used to do it all the time" and Yana like "oh my god, rapunzel event rapunzel event rapunzel event."
>>571248410He said he did soccer as a kid yeah? And he's supposed to be lowkey muscley cause of all the break kneading. As long as he's not standing next to Rook or Silver or Jack he probably looks pretty muscular. Muscle nerd. Cater is into that I guess.
>>571255482>SilverI keep forgetting he is canonically a himbo and his sprite is just un-canoncially noodley
Is anybody else getting a weird influx in attention on twst fics recently? All was silent for a while but then I started getting jumpscared by kudos alert emails. Maybe the new scarabia chapter did it.
>>571265067Do you write fanfics? Now I admit I'm curious.
Kalim's seiyuu just quote-tweeted the oshifes stage announcement with a photo of takoyaki. Did he forget that the twin who likes tokyoyaki is Floyd when tomorrow's stage will be with Jade's guy, or is it meant just an octavinelle reference in general. The world may never know.
>>571087526I keep thinking about the chances that Yana initially thought Rollo had an Overblot at the Event, and that the book would include concept art and drawings of what Rollo's Overblot might have looked like.
>>571265807Not recently. It was mostly just excuses to have a few rarepairs fuck, plus a smutty leovil.
>>571267353To be honest I don't understand the discourse on "this person might blot" or "this person was supposed to overblot" etc. It seems pretty clear that the only overblotters are gonna be the guys connected to the great seven. They'll add stuff in dialogue like "what if he overblots!?" to nbc and glomas but I've always found it pretty obvious that it's never gonna happen.
>>571268617Can't speak for the rest but for glomas it was a whole new event pattern when it first released, based on a big Disney villain, frollo has his own legend, school and statue, Rollo is said to be a powerful mage himself and just in general glomas was written in very main story style so can't blame anyone for theorizing if he was gonna ob at the time. Now we know the pattern though. But I am once again begging for Yana to bring Rollo back, Malleus and him had a whole promise to meet again under the bell I will continue to believe
>>571269297Yeah I can understand it at the time from a player perspective, but like in retrospect I really doubt what >>571267353 is saying that there was ever, at any point while creating for glomas at all even the slightest chance of a Rollo overblot that would make it into a design note. Looking back it's obvious it was never going to happen, so it never would've been a part of the design process.But hey who knows, maybe Yana had 3.2 minutes of free time on a sunday night and gave us some "what if" design ideas, I'll take anything, just let Rollocopter out of jail twst.
Bompo
Just saw someone say something about the rsa characters being added to a spin-off game. There is no way that that is what sparklink is, not in a million years, not without Yana, but for half a second I almost had a heart attack.
>>571140046Not until right now sis thank you very much for feeding me.(Caught this one fresh off the presses though) >>571275175I actually do wonder what the hell sparklink is. Like is it boys, girls, both? Besides if RSA is added to any game it'll have to be twist. Mina is gonna print money and so will shota Alice.
>>571283070Looking at who's in charge of the game, I think it's for girls, and I have a theory that it will be an otome game, an otome game with characters based on Disney characters.
7.5 hours until twst stage and then we will finally know at least something. Knowing twst it will probably only result in more questions but at least it will be something.
>>571311634Being able to e-date a man-Cinderella would be nuts.
I love Ace/Deuce and I like AceYuu, so Ace should have two boyfriends.
>>571322957About 2.5 hours. It's gonna be so funny if the whole thing is a nothingburger.
>>571347630Yeah animejapan was kinda nothingburger too unless you were big into seiyuus, oshifes is just such an odd event never heard of it before until now, what is it even normally about there
>>571350147Same here. Is it a big event? A small one? Seiyuu-focused? Manga focused? Anime? Games? I have no idea what it is about, and something as big as Twst taking a stage there makes it seems like they've got to have something worth saying, but not something that is big enough to justify bringing the seiyuu in and doing their own Twst-only livestream? I'm gonna guess maybe 30% shilling merch, 30% seiyuu banter, 30% review/game talk and 10% a PV or something?
JPsisters will be more busy watching the current Japan match than the actual streaming
5 minutes come on Furuta and Komada, what ya got for us.
Baymax
>>571360482>Big Hero 6 event without any of the ShroudsSuch a wasted opportunity
>>571360921Do we know who is R?
>>571361028Not yet but I'm slightly sad neither Idia nor Ortho aren't going to be central characters in this event.At least we know Jade is going to look amazing
I'm watching it now and the lead-up to the event reveal was such a bait-and-switch, they spend so long talking about the seiyuu reveal at anime Japan and Sakamoto and Osaka and all of that and how excited people had been and blah blah and then they're like and we have an announcement...an event completely unrelated to everything we were just talking about! They were cute though, Komada is always great and Furuta kept hopping in and out of Kalim-voice, but that might just be cause that's how he talks.
Safe to assume that Kalim and Silver are gonna be the SSRs, I wonder if it's going to be another Lost in the Book two-part event.Also, I'm happy Silver is finally getting more content and attention in-game, about damn time.
>>571366314Damn I was hoping for another Jade SSR. Looked like Jade and Rook to me since they were the first revealed.
The good boy
>>571366314SILVER!!!!!!! JADESIL EVENT!!!FLUFFY DUO EVENTSILVER¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IM GETTING FED HES OUT OF JAILBLESSED DAY!!!!
>>571369448I also wanted that Jade to be an SSR but alas, his last event was not too long ago.>>571374075Don't give us bedroom eyes Kalim, you're too cute-looking to pull off a sexy expression like this.
>>571374075Think they're gonna have variants like spring or are they really putting riddle in blue.
>>571340354What about a bishounen Grim?
I'm surprised there's going to be a Big Hero 6 based event but neither Idia nor Ortho is included.And I think they've already announced all the characters, right? It's not going to be like the Stitch event, which had more than four characters.
>>571366314>Back to back events with SilverDamn, they finally are catching up giving cards for the Silver fans. Gonna enjoy it while it lasts.
>>571387526He's been in jail for like 6 years now, so glad his sentence is finally over.Also so many jokes already about the eel in the room kek
>>571387828Kek Jade really does stick out like a sore thumb, I'm almost willing to forgive them for robbing us from a Big 6 hero event with Shroud bros as the main guys solely because of their brilliant idea to instead involve a group featuring the light magic trio with one of the shadiest mf in the entire NRC.
What's wrong with Jade? He's so polite, kind, and a gentleman! Right?
EN twitter is already panning this event as referenceslop because no shroud brothers, but honestly I feel that having the shroud brothers in would be more likely to be referenceslop because of the more obvious Hiro Tadashi parallels.Also to really step out of Yana's shadows the writing team needs to use crazy combos bouncing off each other. Like the last time we got Silver and Kalim was when Yana was helming Halloween 1.Sure it's a lot of bokes all in one group, but think it's leading up to Jade becoming a low key tsukkomi as hia shady ass runs into the shininess of the light trio. We already see a little bit with him and Silver during fairy gala redux.
Cute boys
Please praise the evil boys (and Kalim) who got me baby's first S rank
>>571405473>Silver and Kalim>Halloween 1.Man I have no memory of those two interacting in halloween 1 do you mean Rook and Kalim?
>>571405473I think I remember some funny scenes of Kalim and Silver together at the Christmas event, especially the two of them with Ruggie, and how cute and innocent they were, right?
>>571429779Whichever halloween it was which had Silver going "I know you're in there" to a possessed Kalim. Was it halloween 2 then?
>>571434586Yeah that was the second one.
The boys should hug each other more, acknowledging just how necessary a hug is.
>>571171626I'm curious about when this will be released and what it will be. What time will there be news?
>>571405473Whether intentionally or not book 6 already had a couple of parts that were very bh6 with Shrouds, doing it again might become repetitive and predictable for the whole event. The group now makes me more interested desu because of Jade being an imposter among the light trio and not really knowing what the plot will be. We don't know who are the R cards yet too, no?
>>571426581I hope it’s something like Rapunzel and port fest where the whole cast parades through for a cameo.
>>571419773Congrats sis! The omni exams are a real bitch when it comes to RNG, but you did good getting that S.
>>571451321I just hope we done get a wave of bitching about how it should’ve been a Halloween-level event that explored every aspect of the movie with character cameos and family members and other stuff that is obviously not going to happen. People getting their own hopes up, disappointing their own selves and then blaming it on a game that promised them none of the stuff they made up in their heads.
Wait a second isn’t sparklink getting an update today
>>571464782>sparklinkevery time I google this I get results from some wireless communication technology and for a dating site

Had a dream where I was standing next to someone who started singing the scarabia dorm song and we started trading off lines for kalim/jamil in a duet and it gradually got more and more obviously that I didn't actually know most of the lyrics and was just making sounds.
>>571464782Is this it?https://x.com/spalik_jp/status/2068967223075770541I still don't know what it is, but it looks like there will be more news tomorrow.
>>571483069Quick and dirty and does this or does this not look like the NRC from the startsending eventOnce upon a time, there was a story.There was a small island illuminated by two stars.On that mysterious, sparkling island, the people lived their daily lives filled with smiles.One day, a glowing seed appeared.It was a gift from the two stars watching over the island, offered as proof of time filled with excitement and joy.As the seed began to sprout, countless mysterious lights gathered from the sky and the sea.They were stories filled with dreams and hope, spoken all over the world.The seed, now united with this mysterious light, grew larger and became a beautiful tree adorned with many glowing lights on its branches.Whenever people smiled, whenever their eyes shone with dreams and hope, whenever they made wishes upon the stars, sparkling particles of light always danced around the town.Those particles of light rose into the sky and blossomed into beautiful stories in the starry night.Those stories eventually spread throughout the island, becoming a wonderful force that guided people toward happiness, and the island floating at the edge of the world slowly flourished.Even now, after many, many years have passed, that power once called “magic” has taken on a new form, still bringing excitement and smiles to this land.
>>571483442 samefag> look like the tree from the starsending event
>>571483442>Island>Star sending tree>Kira Kira sparkly happy vibeDamn so dropping the RSA boys now was just stealth marketing for their own spinoff game huh
>>571483442Thank you for the translation! Very interesting, and I'm even more curious now. I hope you'll reveal more about the premise tomorrow, and especially that the characters will appear.
>>571486051There is NO way they would do it without yana. All we need now is a post from Yana like "surprise! I've not been making just my own manga and my own gacha over the past six years, but I also launched my own otome!" She is either a time traveler or this is not RSA or they're trying something RSA without Yana in which case good fucking luck.
>>571486051Ah, yes. My daily dosage of Mina. Thank you sir.
>>571374075Duo Trey
>>571417995Cute
Most breedable tako from the Coral Sea
>>571453975Yeah this was after I gave up trying to use all my 10/10 SSRs and their duos and went fuck it, give me all the HP. I had been wondering why the fuck I bothered to raise that Floyd up before I went on hiatus but guess 2020 me has been vindicated. Also do you think the big hero six event is going to be lost in the book style? Because I really want to see Azul and Floyd reacting to Jade being the fourth member of the light brigade kek
>>571411096Very cute
you don’t even know me.
>>571483442>>571483069Did the people behind the game mention Twisted Wonderland? And what about the planning to avoid cannibalizing each other, and the fact that development began in 2022?https://note.com/toro_channel/n/ned08dd804dff?app_launch=false
>>571539170Star Smash was released only 8 months after Twst and shut down a year later in December 2021. Maybe SparkLink is them taking the star smash team and giving them something else to do? Disney has been trying to run multiple mobile games at once for a while, it looks like.
>>571512227Jade will never admit it, but he's the vacation friend.
>>571539170Four years of prep time is insane. Even Twst only had two years, right, according to that interview on twst radio with the development team?
>>571556850Tokyo debunker apparently had an extended development period too and completely changed between first announcement and release. Maybe there was some kind of shake up for sparklink than pushed things back or something.
I love their friendship.
>>571483442So weird that this is so Twst-adjacent but I guess it doesn’t count as plagiarism if Disney is recycling content that Yana made for Disney.
>>571575527>recycling content that Yana made for Disney.On the one hand I wish they'd just hire her outright but on the other hand it's probably just physically impossible for her to do any more than she already is
>>571479704I read this comment almost 24 hours ago and the Scarabia song has been stuck in my head ever since.
>>571556850>4 yearsYou gotta factor in the COVID delays to that too.But even though it's female orientated, I don't see it replicating twst's success because what these C Suite types don't realise is that the real juggernauts of female orientated mobile games got that way because they pander to both the yumes and the fujos with their cute guys doing cute things (but not committing romantically to anyone)If this thing is a straight otome, then right out the gate they're losing the fujo audience (which honestly is a huge part of twsts fandom). Granted they could be trying to pander to the love and deepspace crowd, but those types of games get pretty racy and I doubt that's something Disney is willing to have attached to their IP.
Everyone meet Manderella
>>571592983Maybe I'm too twstpilled but the design looks generic idol
>>571593209I was gonna say it looks an awful lot like Yana's art, but she hasn't said anything. Also didn't she once submit an idea to Disney about a gacha game that was the characters recreating the different disney properties in a theater setting and they told her no? And the catchcopy is "a stage where everyone's dreams come true"?
>>571592983>>571593209>generic otomeslop but with the Disney label on it This is exactly what I expected from the moment I first heard about this game.
>>571593453Huh. It doesn't look Yana to me, the way the thigh high boots are designed especially feels very un-yana. I could be wrong of course and then anons can bump the thread by laughing at me
>>571592983They may be princes but they'll never usurp the prince of my heart But I'm interested to see what the rest of the cast is gonna be considering most of the mainline and popular princesses are in twst>Belle>Mulan (high doubt considering JP and CN tensions these days)>Rapunzel>Elsa/Anna>Tiana >Merida ???
>>571596359Phone's too potato to tell if those boots are heeled or not. If they're flat soles it's 1000% not Yana, no way will she ever pass up the chance on putting boys in pretty little heels.
>>571597690It's heels
>>571597690They're heeled. I'm more talking about the 'maybe it's metal maybe it's not patterning with vague shapes to fill empty space' design choice on the boots. Feels more Hoyo than Yana. Now that I'm looking closer the patterns that they used on Mandarella all seem kinda too simple to be her. No embroidery texture anywhere in the rendering too. It still could be Yana but her drawing under directions from Coly but frankly I don't understand the concept of getting Yana to draw for you then not having her use her style and design sense so I'm just gonna say it's not Yana for now
>>571599085So might be recycling old Yana concepts with a new creative team maybe. If so might be good because that might avoid the twst event quality dropoff after Yana moved back to Kuro full time. But then again half the appeal of twst is that it's whole cast (apart from my precious Silver) is unhinged. These goody two shoes boys might be too generic especially since we already have unhinged idol games out there (enstars, idolish)
>>571599747If it was Yana I would have expected her to tweet something about the reveal but it's been radio silence from her, hasn't it? Don't think she's involved much
>>571599747It's mostly the hair and eyes that made me think Yana but I am also on team Not-Yana, because of everything you said about the design sense but also because they would 100% use her to promote it. Disney knows the influence she has, they said right out in the hollywood reporter interview that one of the reasons they chose her was because she has a "passionate fanbase" aka us psychotic weirdos following after her like fish poo and there is no way they wouldn't try and weaponize that. The fact that they haven't revealed the artist makes me think it might be one of those things where it's the work of a bunch of different illustrators or it's something that they're trying to control entirely by themselves or both. They don't want "Toboso Yana's Sparklink Stars by Disney" or whatever, they want to have full ownership of this one. Is just one theory I guess.
>>571592983And when should more news be coming out? Tomorrow again? I want to know more about the games' story, and I'm really curious about the characters in this game.
Jumping the gun but my concern for sparklink is if they are going to be careful to not overlap with twst, like now that they seemingly have a Cinderella boy we won't get one in twst because I'll be mad if they get Mulan and Elsa and we'll never get the chance to see Yana design them. Fuck, glad we got Mina first
Am I the only one ITT who doesn't give a shit about this new game? I am twst/yanafag but not a disneyfag and neither the concept nor the visuals don't interest me. Also it's obvious Yana is not involved here for the reasons stated by this anon >>571600009
>>571601669Honestly twst has nabbed the most popular big ticket princesses already (the only outlier being Belle). Cinderella also won't have much to really do in the twst plot considering her villain is Trein who's actually a good father this time around. The "no overlap between test" is probably them nabbing all the other Disney franchises who don't have a set in stone hero villain pairing.Besides if twst is going to do a frozen event down the line, we wouldn't be getting Elsa/Anna anyway. Probably we'd get those weird gnomes and but like the mascot snowman. And for characters like Elsa I'd rather them get a separate game where they can be fleshed out rather than be stuck in "side character which you'll only meet once and then never see again" purgatory like the twst Halloween villains.
How long before we get our Twstterella
>>571601891Nah I am here with you anon. If it's not Yana I give no shits. The dead silence of yana/twst-official is telling. This will probably be a curiosity for a little bit and then never talked about again like the hello kitty twst ripoff.
>>571603258We already have Elsa at home (Malleus)
>>571592983EOS in about a year, calling it now.twst got huge due to the perfect storm of the novelty of being the first prettyboi Disney game + importing Yana's fanbase + dropping right before lockdown to ensure it had a captive audience of players/fan translators/fanfic writers and fanartists + lack of geolock for gem purchases so foreign fans could spend on it too.Unless they drop a same day EN release I don't think the Japanese crowd alone is going to be dropping enough on this to keep the lights on. Especially when it's looking more generic than twst and there are other gacha games vying for their wallets
>>571592983Remember that Disney sports game that started around the same time as TWST? Link Stars, or something? I suspect this will go the same way.
>>571610703Star Smash? I think Sparklink will do slightly better due to the Coly name and mhyk being quite popular for a while. Feels like there's more of an overlap of disney fans that'd like Sparklink than Star Smash, that game's devs were known for Monster Strike which is very popular if I remembered right but might not be what disney otaku are into. Sparklink is also quite shamelessly riding on twst hype if you ask me
New pretty boy
>>571612235Coly is a pretty well-known company in the joseimuke sphere and they've done a lot of otome stuff so I doubt Sparklink will be connected to twst since the Cinderella boy looks like he'd fit into mhyk, the artstyle seems similar. It'll probably do decent just from the company's reputation and it being attatched to Disney.
>>571630743Yeah I don't think it will flop that bad unless the gameplay or the story is absolute shit, it's already gaining some traction.
>>571638360Company's also made a statement on it that they plan to heavily use AI so think it's gonna lose most of that momentum in the EN spaceDunno what the JP side thinks about AI though
>>571639135No way, really? Anon mentioned Tokyo Debunker and the only thing about it I know is every time the joseimuke earnings ranking comes around, there will be jp complaints about it because apparently the ads are all ai slop and people can't understand how it's even earning enough to rank because of how much of a turn off the ads are. Maybe there are enough people with low standards to whale still
>>571639135https://x.com/idiriddle/status/2069454746713289019>literally aislopit's over before it even began
>>571639135>>571645292I'm not sure how these companies haven't realised this is suicide for their projects yet. Regardless of ethical concerns, using AI signifies that you didn't give a fuck to put effort into your product, and if you didn't put effort in why should your consumer base even bother? Especially in a market like this one where innovation is already lacking
>>571656710That's because they all are, duh>>571656749Yeah you're essentially asking people to throw money at something they (theoretically) could have made themselves for free. I know a large part of why people still stick the big hitters like enstars and Idolish is because of the high production quality of stuff like songs, MVs and shit.
>A light magic user looks the most evil here
>>569086060You people will suck twst off silly over the most random things lmfao I love the game too but when you reach this hard it just sounds. Not to mention that I'm not sure what you're comparing it to...? So many properties that set in even further-flung fantasy settings these days find some way to shoehorn in a smartphone equivalent because it's easier than writing around the inconvenience of their absence. Play other games or read other shit for once.>>569091910It's super common, especially with mobage, but with anything that's generally popular. There are truckloads of smaller mangaka out there whose biggest credits are on anthology or tie-in projects for existing IPs like this. One of my first ever manga back in the day was an officially translated anthology comic for a visual novel that came out in the early 2000s, and I've seen archival work done for Guilty Gear and Touhou official anthologies dating back to the late 90s, so it's nothing new.
>>571656749>if you didn't put effort in why should your consumer base even bother?I say that about Twst EN all the time
That sparkling thing sure picked the perfect time to promote itself, Twst has got fuck all going on right now
>>571689973Mina Friday soon! I'm so excited for the interactions I hope the humor's good too
>>571693117Mina Fridaaay! Mina mina mina suddenly all the weirdness about that cinderella AI thing is gone
Ghost marriage was such a great event
>>571700760Heavy visual fanservice event but they're all assholes so they spend it fumbling and asking the main guy to die... twst you will have my heart forever.Also i love looking back on old events lilia participted in with current context like... 700+ yr old war veteran and single father and you're joining in on the crowd vibe of asking an 18 yo shut-in to kill himself. It's so funny.
>>571703473To be fair Lilia was the only one who ever said "hmmm guys it's almost midnight maybe we should actually start taking this seriously I guess?" and someone I forget responded like "and what exactly is it that you suggest we do."My favorite part was when Kalim was just written out of the story. It is never explained. He was there and then he just wasn't and it is never acknowledged because no one gave a shit.
>>571704586>My favorite part was when Kalim was just written out of the story. It is never explained. He was there and then he just wasn't and it is never acknowledged because no one gave a shit.You could do this with the main story and nothing would change
>>571707802So brave and yet so true
If you had gone up to me 7 years ago and said "These are Jasmine, Ariel, Ursula and Jafar, and you love them" I would have died from secondhand embarrassment.
The Groovy of one of the best characters.
Ok I've calmed down there is no way this shit is in the twst universe, even though it looks like they fed Yana's art into aihttps://x.com/spalik_jp/status/2069692000660812063
>>571715192It's funny that the island is shaped like Mickey, and about the various locations, are they references to different movies? I recognize the Monsters, Inc factory.
>>571717438Yeah apparently this is a "disney and pixar" production, kind of solidifying that Twst is never getting any pixar properties I guess
>>571718160Toy Story event never ever
>>571718160If this potentially ai game is going to make it harder for Yana and her team to get permission to use Disney properties to write scenarios for twst I'm actually going to be pissed. Please let it not be so.
>>571715192No idea how people thought this was going to be twst related when the premise was already wildy different with it apparently being an idol raising game, figure skating (Disney on ice?), and Kazui (artist of Hypnosis mic) is the main artist.
>>571711290I still hope Mina will try to seduce a NRC boy at some point during the competition
>Cinderella and Silver share the same VAHow dare that AI slop game rub prince!silver in my face like that.At least fairy gala silver is finally home to mop up my tears...
Will this thread end before the next chapter?
>>571729128>Jade not only surviving the backrooms and also getting along with the boogeymanI can see that happening
>>571723074
>>570911970>>571381923The bishonen grim truthers are still alive don't worry
>>571731347If we continue talking about Sparkling game yes
>>571737037What is there to talk about when the game is dead? How many bite sized chunks they'll manage to cut Mina and Rielle's segment into? Because if it's all in this new update I'll eat my own hat.
>>571723074It would be funny if Jamil's voice actor's twin brother were in the Sparkling game and voiced the version of Jaffar in that game, right?
>>571718160Honestly the only really big loss out of that is toy story + finding nemo.Bugs life would have been fun for Jamil but we got all the gags that would have come out of it already in the mouse event.
>>571738320Do anons not like theorizing? No bingo cards for what might happen? Placing bets? JP always has lots to talk about somehow. Yana just tweeted something about the battles too, the other anon mentioning if there might be a new battle map system here >>570551587 is getting really close to being correct. There was Kalim's card too but we might've actually scared off all the Kalimsis
Is it correct to assume that all of the dorms have their own kitchens? I can only remember references to the Diasomnia, Scarabia, and of course Heartslabyul kitchens in-game.
>>571740698Kalim is one of my favorite characters, though I don't have much to say about him right now. Well, he seems to love gacha games, it's cute and funny how addicted he is to them. It was amusing how the shop owner bought several machines just because Kalim spent so much money on them.
>>571741065Ruggie was using the cafeteria kitchen to cook late at night during one of his R stories but then again that could be to 1) not have to share with anyone who wandered in and 2) because he was cooking with stolen goodsI'd imagine if 3/7 dorms have kitchens then the rest would have too. Azul has probably strongarmed the Octa kitchen into becoming the lounge's kitchen because don't know how the lounge would operate otherwise
Be honest. Who here is willing to try the ai sloppa Sparklink game when it comes out? I'm actually considering it just for the fact it has Cinderella because she's one of my fave princesses. I won't spend a dime on it though since Coly isn't exactly known for good game design.
>>571751034cute
>>571744838No because I am LOYAL to my pretty airhead princess and also too busy to think of picking up another gacha
>>571759987>Forgot princessI am a failure of a simp
>>571704586>>My favorite part was when Kalim was just written out of the story. And Silver wasn't even in the story because because he'd get the ring on her finger in approx 0.5 seconds and then we wouldn't have an event
>>571744838>AIshit>Disneyshit>Idolshitwhat a winning combo
>>571740698New battle map system 1000%, especially since Yana actually bothered to focus on game mechanics after 30 years of this game being out.Hopefully we'll only be locked into using 1/2 out of the contestant boys at a time though because out of these four the only decent cards I have are dorm Azul and halloween lilia SR Also no Leovil stage because each of the dorm leaders needs to go up against their respective princess counterpart so RIP 90% of my strongest combos.
>>571744838I have fun trying even waifuslop mobage when I have a bit of free time since I have a general interest in how mobage are run. I even gave Love and Deepspace a try despite having subzero interest in a substanceless game purely engineered to drain the pockets of milquetoast straight women.So I'll definitely be giving Sparklink a shot. I like HypMic and mhyk had some interesting characters so my fingers are crossed that it won't be totally boring...?Same boat as you, though, probably won't stick with it and not a dime of my money will be spent. twst JP is the only game that respects a busy working woman's time and interests and I can't get behind low-effort AI assets.
>>571744838I wasn't interested even before finding out it's aislop, the concept sounds boring and that blonde Cinderella twink looks extremely generic.
>>571762046Agreed on the battle map. Like, why else would they give us three card leveling events in a row?
>>571766172I'm seeing people now whining like "you all need to stop calling it aislop because now we know there is a real artist working on it" and like, they state outright that the incorporate AI for improved efficiency and what is more efficient than feeding Twst art and some sketches into AI and having it spit out a complete key visual? Just because they have an artist doesn't mean that none of the art has ai. We KNOW ai is involved because they said it themselves, why defend them? I don't get it.
>>571761568I wonder if Disney doesn't like how twst only beats enstars on the earnings ranking with anniversaries and stuff. Enstars is shit but damn do they have a chokehold on their core fanbase.
>>571744838>has Cinderella because she's one of my fave princessesExactly why I'm not going to try it. Design is so damn generic I'm disappointed they did this to my girl and I might never see Yana's take on her in a character or just an event outfit. Rather pretend he doesn't exist.>>571741918Happy to see there are still Kalim fans around. Question for the ones who know Kalim well: which tournament event do you think he's gonna be in?
>>571556850Twst wasn’t two years, I looked it up. The two years was possibly when that development team person was hired but Yana says in the archives that Twst took 3.5 years of prep.
>>571780354Enstars is a different kind of monster with how it's sunkcost fanbase in jp will never abandon it. The game being outdated idolshit that's managed horribly but still makes more money then twst on average is crazy to me.
>>571794314I've never played but I will never get over the art, looking at even just the sprites side by side with Twst is an insult, let alone the card art.
New Thread>>571794784
>>571794847Same. I hate idolshit so I've never touched Enstars and I have no idea how it's still going with all the stuff I've heard from former Enstarsfags saying how shit it is. I don't get the appeal. Is it just because it was the first idolshit game that blew up a decade ago and started the trend?
>>571795456I think by this point it might be like, for some people, what taking care of plants can get like. Years go by and you're still watering it and whatnot, it's still there in the background, but you can't say you're actually invested. If it wasn't there your life wouldn't be any better or worse. But when you bought it you took on the responsibility of taking care of it and it's such a part of your routine by now that even though there is no real point in keeping it, there is no real point in getting rid of it, either.
