hey i actually finished one of my wips...whatever next.... here you go, omegaverse jmkl lol. omega jamil/alpha kalim but it's about how jamil has to top at all times or he'll crumble to dust

What do you think Baur thinks about Silver?

I mean, Silver is a human(!!!), but he's also adopted by Lilia (someone Baur respects a lot) and Sebek's only friend

If I'm not mistaken, Baur knows how Knight of Dawn looked like, so what did he think when realized Silver looks suspiciously KoD-shaped?

granted, things got pretty wacky when they were escaping the castle, he might not have actually processed what Dawnathon's face looked like! although I guess it is the kind of thing that sticks with you through the centuries, and if anyone was gonna notice...

(continuing my "old Bauru looks exactly the same but with a BIG mustache" agenda)

alternatively, he's gotten a lot better, but his daughter is still working with him on...certain things involving humans.

jamil should get forcefemmed a little. as a treat

[basedjamil]

he should have to pretend to be kalim's wife for corporate espionage purposes and take it really seriously

i have two fic wips of equal length and one of them is a stupid fake dating adjacent pg rated romcom and the other one is horrible omegaverse smut but they're both from jamil's pov and consequently the introspection to dialogue & action ratio for both is fucking horrendous . hate that guy

“Whispers”

I like that his earrings are snakes

[twst] Jamil’s little hair snakes stick around/are summonable via magic and late at night he gossips with them like a mean girl and shows them his Magicam feed.

the thing for me with shipping kalim with most characters is he doesn't really respect anyone, like the sole exception to this is jamil but only later on in the story once he's willing to get mad at him. i think it's really telling that his trouble dialogue with jamil is like the Only one where he expresses any actual displeasure with the other person and like they had to have substantial character development to get to that point. he doesn't get pissed off at anyone else because what they do just kind of doesn't matter to him in the same way, everything just bounces off him. kind of like if your closest model for interacting with your peers was several dozen younger siblings who you have no particularly meaningful one-on-one relationships with and your one friend the same age as you who clearly doesn't respect you at all lmao.....

anyway because of this i have a hard time shipping him with some characters, like ruggie is a pretty popular one for him but i kind of can't get around the feeling that ruggie would have zero patience for this -- ruggie feels like the kind of guy whose patience with people who don't respect him is strictly external only & that's why he and leona work well as a team, because they do clearly respect each other even if their little game is that they don't -- so it's a really hard sell to me to imagine a character like him -- or e.g. vil -- getting seriously emotionally invested in a relationship with kalim

i think for me plausible kalim ships are like

leona

jade but not floyd i think he'd get bored

azul, i think that's funny

malleus for sure

that's kind of it. everyone else can do better

and of course this is with the understanding that he is going to still be in love with jamil in the background of any other shit that's happening. jmkl goes without saying unfortunately

I resonate very deeply w ur page as a uni student forced to read orientalism before the age of ai who also loves the scarabia duo😭

claps you exhaustedly on the shoulder... at this point i just block anyone in the tags who mentions slavery or caste wrt these guys

[hamu-twst]

heard he got caught in a glue trap in the vignette

[hamu-twst]

genuinely nauseous thinking about mid-20s jamil having a shitty jafar goatee and kalim flirting with him and twirling that stupid ugly thing in his fingers. and kalim actually thinks it looks cool. forgive me for bringing it to life.

[herefordollparts]

Gonna be real with yall one of this games biggest flops was not making Deuce a Brit style gangster. Fym he’s a Yankii. In the Queendom of roses??

You could argue that he’s like. Twst equivalent of Japanese and moved to Twst England and just kept the aesthetic. Esp cuz his mom in his hometown event gave him and the crew a tamago sando. But I think this is infinitely funnier.

man i always totally accepted kalim's arm decorations being body paint rather than tattoos as, like, authorial intent, in spite of the fact that there's never any mention of them being reapplied and they're like always present no matter what etc, UNTIL i found out that the coolguy lion tat leona has on his arm is ALSO referred to as body paint in the art book. at which point i realised that this is probably just because jp disney has to have some kind of rules in place about when/which characters can be depicted with tattoos on account of how tattoos are perceived in japan right....

like i have to assume what happened is the characters got designed as having tattoos bc yana thought that looked cool, and nobody thought it was a problem until they were putting together the book with all the notes on the character designs and the word "tattoo" set off the disney alarm, and they had to just be like uhhh don't worry it's not really tattoos...!!

which i guess is all to say i could suspend my disbelief for kalim's being body paint but i absolutely can't for leona so for consistency's sake it's really all got to be tattoos
