New addition to the official Twst JP page:
On the left: Night Raven College and its eight dormitories
On the right: an untitled page with 7 unmarked slots…? 👀
Thanks for sharing this major development. This new section has seven mirrors exactly and I am certain these will be the dorms of RSA and that they will likely be the hero counterparts to the NRC’s villain dorms. Looking at the images on the trophy cup, they're likely based on the 'princesses' from the stories and their representative traits.
Heartslabyul = Alice Dorm
Spirit of Curiosity or Wonder (with reference to the name of the world and her description as the curious girl in legends)
Savvanaclaw = Nala
Spirit of Responsibility (based on Nala’s characterisation in the movie) or Cheer (based on Leona’s description of the paining she appears in his Platinum vignette)
Octavinelle= Ariel
Spirit of Determination or Courage (Based on Deuce’s platinum vignette Malleus and Deuce’s description of the picture she’s featured in)
Scarabia= Jasmine
Spirit of Compassion (with reference to description in the Al’ab Nariya Festival legend and Kalim, Epel & most of all Vil’s Platinum suit vignettes where she’s referred to as the Kind-hearted princess or specifically the COMPASSIONATE princess)
Pomefiore = Snow White
Spirit of Aspirations (with reference to the many times she’s referenced for influencing well wishing culture in the Shaftlands—Harveston, Jack Platinum, Epel Platinum, etc.)
Ignihyde= Megara
Spirit of Support (with reference to Azul & Silver’s platinum vignettes where she is mostly referred to as the Lord of the Underworld’s human helper)
Diasomnia= Aurora
Spirit of Beauty or Charm (with reference to Lilia’s platinum vignette where we learn that her blessings of beauty and a beautiful voice are known, but possibly not the gift that altered her curse)
Granted, some of these ‘princesses’ haven’t been featured as prominently in the game and the dorms could just as well be based on the other hero of the ‘legends’ (e.g. Simba, Hercules and Prince Phillip) but this could be the 6th Anniversary surprise 🥰
Happy White Rabbit Fest!
I am so much into my absolute favourite game series again. Maybe you know the Legacy of Kain. In the first Soul Reaver game there is such a cool title screen were the statues are moving from time to time. It's such a simple yet cool idea so I had to make it for my newest favourite game too, haha.
Polite Speech and Speech Patterns: Riddle
Note: Language is complex, this is not official information, just observations and subjective analysis and "What if maybe...!?"
Unlike Jade and Azul, Riddle is not a “polite-speech (keigo) character,” instead using commanding/impersonal/standard-formal speech without deference, even to those older than himself.
A person on Yahoo! Questions brought up this point in 2021, saying that one of the reasons they dislike Riddle is because of how he speaks to older students, using authoritative phrasing even when he is addressing Leona, an upperclassman and member of royalty.
“The way he speaks to seniors like Leona, using words like ‘yoroshii.” (Especially when Leona is royalty…) He is good at studying, but does he have no common sense??”
(More on Riddle’s intelligence vs. common sense, here ▶︎)
Whereas Jade might have been raised to use polite speech and now applies it to keep up a boundary between himself and the people he wants to observe for his own amusement (more here ▶︎ ), Riddle might be utilizing his word word choice to assert authority and control.
As is common with hierarchy speech Riddle generally does not use polite phrasing with people his age or underclassmen (unlike Jade and Azul), but while he does adopt polite phrasing with upperclassmen it is inconsistent, with the degree of politeness he chooses to use varying by situation.
Riddle will use more casual/emotional phrasing with Trey and Cater, almost as though the strictness of how he expresses himself becomes more gentle when he feels safe/comfortable with whom he is speaking to (in contrast to Jade, who uses polite phrasing even with Floyd and Azul).
Much like Azul, Riddle's inconsistent use of polite speech might be an indication that his politeness is something he consciously adapts rather than being a natural part of how he communicates as it might be with Jade.
To compare the three:
・Jade’s use of polite phrasing possibly comes the most naturally of all the characters, and he might be using it to keep space between himself and others, to observe those around him like mushrooms.
・Azul’s use of polite phrasing is more strategic, coming apart when he is not consciously applying it, and possibly something he uses as a tool or weapon to his advantage, or to protect himself.
・Riddle’s use of polite speech is much more inconsistent, being dropped even with upperclassmen, and his word choice sounding more about enforcing his authority.
Riddle is not unaware of the rules of good manners, but he is maybe prioritizing his belief in his own correctness and that subsequent structure over social niceties. His speech is not technically, grammatically incorrect, but it does not have the deference that one would expect from a younger student, and can sound disrespectful or harsh.
Stepping away from politeness, there were also these comments on Riddle’s use of speech on Twstsoku, with commenters making the connection that Riddle’s use of commanding phrases and strict forms of expression are maybe things that he picked up from his mother:
“I really love how, in the little turns of phrase Riddle uses, like ‘You understand, don’t you?’ or ‘That’s not something you should be saying.' You can feel his good upbringing. Is that the right way to put it? I absolutely love those parts.” “I love his way of speaking too, but at the same time it’s kind of painful because you can see the shadow of his toxic mom in it.” “I always thought he just spoke exactly like the Queen of Hearts… but I guess that really is his good upbringing showing through.”
“The duo magic lines ‘There’s no point in thinking about it!’ and ‘There’s no way back now!’ are so insanely cool that I’ve genuinely fallen for him because of them. In class, his Flight lesson line ‘Isn’t this fun!’ and his Alchemy line ‘You’re allowed to applaud, you know?’ are so cute that I can’t help but love them. I just want to praise him until he gets embarrassed and his face turns bright red.” “When he acts childlike and speaks normally, it makes his cuteness stand out even more.”

I think it’s likely that Riddle’s way of speaking with students could also be a result of him being a housewarden. In the school even the royals are just students. So, as Housewarden, Riddle ranks above regular students (1st through 3rd years) and is of equal status to his fellow Housewardens (even the 3rd years and royals) he doesn’t really have a reason to address any student more politely than another.
I think i saw something about an episode 1 livestream, is that true? And id so where can you watch? Also, hope your day is going well, love your content! ♡♡
Hello hello, thank you for this question! 🥳 You are too kind!! 💕
It was not a livestream of episode 1 but a "tea party" with the VAs for Riddle, Ace, Cater, Yuuken and Grim, interacting together!
(Edit: reading reactions from JP players it seems that there was a playing of the first two episodes of season one, but they were shared exclusively within the physical location where the tea party was held and are not available online!)
It can be found at the following link until December 22:
And here is a summary! 🥳
--
Beginning with self introductions! 🌹got the audience to respond “Yes, Housewarden!”
🦞 greets everyone across the world watching online, saying Hello in English
🌹 reveals a single white rose in the decorations and says there is no table with white tablecloth, oh no
❤️ changes out the white rose with a red one saying it is ♠️’s fault ww and tables with white tablecloths are brought out.
🌹 sits in the largest chair in the center, sharped like a heart. (During the after party he says he had not expected the chair and it had surprised him, and 🦞 says it suited him)
Then they talk about how everyone in the audience is wearing red and white and black.
🌹 says that recording for the anime was very fun. Because they have been through so much in five years there is so much they want to put into the performances but they can’t, because it’s the beginning again.
They talk about the new angle that is Yuuken.
🦞 says there is a lot of pressure on the cast but 🌹 says he didn’t seem nervous at all in recordings.
🦞 says he felt very welcome and there was pressure but he is grateful to the others.
The MC asks what UM they would like.
🌹 says he would like to sleep more but having to take a bath before sleep takes up a lot of time, so he would like a UM that makes it so he has already had a bath and can go straight to bed:
Pronounced: オフロイカズユアベッド (without going to the bath your bed) Hidden Meaning: 九時には寝よう (let's sleep at 9 o'clock)
(It sounds very very similar to both the pronunciation and hidden meaning of Riddle's UM)
❤️ says that even on days when he is wearing white sometimes he will want to go out for ramen, so his UM would be "All of White" and dye everything white so he can eat ramen while wearing white and if it gets splashed with broth he can fix it.
🔸 wants teleportation and he is embarrassed for having such a normal wish, wishes he had come up with something better and apologizes ww
🐱 says he wants a portal. He has three cats and doesn’t like leaving them home when he travels. He wants to be able to take trips while still spending time with his cats. He also apologizes for having a normal wish ww
🦞 says that Yuuken doesn't have magic, but his UM would be "Whatever I eat turns into protein" magic.
Everyone is talking about how 🦞 is very similar to Yuuken. He is shy about it, it is cute.
❤️ is talking about how he is a lot like Deuce and Ace is actually the opposite to him.
🔸 says he isn’t a lot like Cater but other people tell him that he has a “gal mind” like Cater
They ask them about their ideal tea party and 🌹 asks if alcohol is allowed. None of them have ever attended a tea party and don’t know what happens there. They’re guessing that sandwiches and macarons are involved.
🌹 says a horror-type party would be neat because Halloween.
🐱says he wants to try a tea party where they experiment with all different kinds of honey for sweetening and apologizes for not having a funnier response.
Now they are talking about the site that was set up, it has a “rose meter,” it is at 21,400 now they want to reach 81,000.
The site is here:
ディズニープラスにて10月29日(水)より独占配信『ディズニー ツイステッドワンダーランド ザ アニメーション』のプロモーション特設サイト。作品紹介に加え、SNS連動のインタラクティブ機能や連動したプレゼントキャンペーンなど多数のコンテンツを公開予定。ディズニー公式 Disney
Closing messages:
🐱says all the VAs worked hard on the anime and the animation is gorgeous and he hopes everyone enjoys it.
🦞says he thought it would be difficult to integrate into such a long established project but he has managed it and it is an honor to be included.
🔸 says he has always looked forward to the release of the anime and he thinks all the long-time fans will really enjoy it.
❤️ says this is a big time for the game and he is happy to be able to present the charm again with animation to reach more people.
🌹says the anime is really amazing and he had thought it would be hard to recreate what they did for the game again but it was a lot of fun and he is looking forward to everyone’s reactions to Riddle. He hopes that all fans of Twst will enjoy it.
Following the main stream there was a "mini after party" of just 🌹 and 🦞 saying that they had official interviews recorded that will be made live online next mont!
But they said it will require a password, so they made it 🌹's ideal UM:
オフロイカズユアベッド (without going to the bath your bed)
I stayed up to watch the livestream this morning and it feels good to know I understood a good bit of it ☺️.
But man, what a specific unique magic that PERFECTLY applied to my situation yesterday 😅. I too wished I could use オフロイカズユアベッド (without going to the bath your bed)
Do you think Silver and Genevieve might've met before in dreams? They've already met as kids, but I can't cross out the idea now since it's Silver's UM unless if you say no
Haha that would be really cute, huh! But silver can only join a dream of someone he has a bond with, I don’t think just meeting as kids once would do 🤔
maybe later on when they’re friends 🤷🏻♀️? I imagine her to requests sword battles at the boy school because she wants a challenge (she keeps losing though). A sparring partner could be a good enough bond ?
Technically, he doesn’t need to have a strong bond with the person to enter their dream, it’s just more likely that he’ll enter the dream of someone he has a strong tie with. Just wanted to mention this so you don’t feel like you HAVE to cut off options
Yeah I said *a* bond :) Sorry, I'm not English, maybe I didn't explain it well enough! He can only enter people's dreams he has *a* bond with, but is more likely to go to someone he has a * strong* bond with. I don't think just meeting as kids once can be called a bond. That's what I meant!
Your English was perfectly understandable! I didn’t mean to misrepresent your analysis—if anything, my statement was unclear.
I was trying to say that from the instances he describes entering dreams—before getting involved with the Ignihyde duo—it was more randomised. Based on his wording of “some sort of association with,” it could range from people he’s interacted with briefly to people he knows deeply.
So, to me, meeting a child his age could be so impactful that it would prompt a second more enlightening meeting in a dream—more so for Silver who rarely ever encountered people in Briar Valley, especially a human.

Attended a showing of the Blazing Jewel concert today, and it was SO amazing. Here is a summary!
※Note: details of the performances seem to change slightly show to show and/or day to day, so this might not perfectly match similar summaries by others!
10 minutes before opening of the show there was a short opening message by Crewel, Trein (with Lucius) and Grim. Every time Crewel talked everyone would scream ww ahhh so exciting!!
Opening: Absolutely Beautiful I was also at Twst Fes in 2023 where this 3D performance was first revealed and I think it was revamped? It was so, so stunning, loved it so much!
(I was also in balcony seating last time and on the ground floor in front this time, which is maybe related? 💦)
--
The Absolutely Beautiful performance was followed by Piece of My World and I think Cater's appearance might have gotten the greatest screams, it was great 🔸 It was more an MV montage of character shots, no dancing or anything, love this song so much, full version.
--
Piece of My World followed by Octavinelle song, it was amazing watching the twins dance!
I do not go to 3D lives (Absolutely Beautiful/Wish Resound at Twst Fes were my first), do they always look this good!? It was AMAZING.
Floyd did a hug gesture for his "squeeze" line!
--
Octavinelle was followed by Scarabia, there is a part where Kalim is on his knees in front and Jamil is standing behind him. He raises his hands out like he is puppeteering Kalim on invisible strings from behind as Kalim moves like a puppet, amazing.
Also during the Scarabia song there is a part where they swap sides of the stage and when they overlap they high-five, I screamed, we all screamed.
Every time they did a high kick, there was screaming.
Jamil left the stage after a silent bow, there was screaming.
--
Scarabia was followed by the Ignihyde song, Ortho is so small. He did a little flying and even flew in a loop like in the Rave UP UP! rhythmic!!
And Idia twice did a gesture with him of cutting an invisible string to match the lyrics, it was amazing everything amazing.
--
After Ignihyde song there was a short break.
It started with Cater and Trey coming out on stage and talking about Idia and Ortho's performance. They were then joined by Floyd, Jade, Jack, and Ruggie. Ruggie is amazing.
They were all talking to each other about appealing to the audience, then Silver and Sebek walked on, too, and lots of interactions about putting on a good show. I specifically remember Ruggie getting called out for being out of character (way too high-energy and trying to appeal) and talked about how they are on order from Leona, then Lilia teleported in and said he had been on the ceiling the entire time.
Each character gave their intros ("Cater Diamond of Heartslabyul!" etc.), all the time interacting with each other.
When other guys were talking to the audience the others who weren't were interacting with each other, you couldn't hear them but it was like they were talking with one another.
Cater is big on physical touch apparently, every time he put a hand on Trey's shoulder the girls across the aisle from me squealed, so much fun~
Everyone has done their intros, Silver has fallen asleep on his feet like a horse, Sebek wakes him up.
Silver introduces himself and then they all talk about how much they practiced.
The twins are so tall standing next to Trey and Cater.
While talking about their hard work Jack says that he has never seen Leona move this much and probably never will again.
Floyd says that Jade and Azul looked ridiculous when they were first learning the dance and offers to show us all a video he took from when they were practicing, Jade stops him because it is private information. Jade then assures the audience that he was not as bad as Azul.
--
Break is over, next song is Malleus' Overblot song, the girls across the aisle are screaming "Waka-sama" 🐉
--
After Malleus' song it is Leona's song.
He has a mic stand.
At least twice the camera focuses low and then slowly pans up along his body, we get to see his tail 🦁 Also: lion ears! Then a third pan up.
So beautiful.
When he sang "this hand," really wanted to reach out my hand.
--
After Leona it is Vil's song, it is amazing to see how the Pomefiore dorm uniform moves, the sleeves are amazing.
There are so many musical theater actors in this cast, I wonder if they were involved in motion capture at all 🧐 (unconfirmed, just a thought that was had by me)
--
After Vil is Azul's song and oh, oh Azul's song, there was so much fan service.
He also has a mic stand and the way he touches it, the way he touches his own chest. Just constant screaming all around. He looks so good.
Also he can dance! More stand/chest touching. A true showman.
--
After Azul's song is Idia's song and notes start getting a little simple because losing my mind.
Idia's note is just "amazing."
--
After Idia's song is Jamil's song and only note is, "beautiful."
It was so beautiful.
--
After Jamil's song is Riddle's song, it must have taken all the time in the world to animate that cape that he wears. He is the king of posing.
Additional note: "elegant."
--
After Riddle's song is another break.
Rook appears first, alone. He is sassy. He has the audience repeat "Beauté, 100 points!" Rook is joined by Ruggie, Floyd, who are silently interacting to the side with very "Can you believe this guy," energy.
Ace appears with Ortho and this is maybe the biggest scream we've had all night. I think Ace is a lot more popular than I'd realized.
Ortho is adorable, explains that the little gestures and greeting that he did were copied from famous idols when called out by Floyd.
Malleus teleports in, is joined by teleporting-in Lilia.
Ruggie is so sassy I love him.
All the characters are complimenting each other's performances. The way Floyd moves when he talks, they did such a great job on his animations.
Another note: Ruggie is so cute.
Floyd is stretching by himself off to the side.
Suddenly Grim's voice! The characters interact with him as if he is sitting in the audience watching with the prefect.
Ace tells the prefect that they need to support him the most out of everyone and there is SO much screaming.
Break is over, everyone walks off and Malleus is last on the stage, says he still has a gift to give.
Girls across the aisle: "THANK YOU WAKA-SAMA."
--
After the break is Savanaclaw song, and the choreography--
There is so much thrusting 🦁
A lot of hip movements, a lot of shimmying, a lot of screaming~
--
After Savanaclaw song is Pomefiore song.
It opens with Rook and Epel alone, walking towards one another from opposite sides of the stage. When they overlap in the middle suddenly Vil appears between them, such a great entrance.
In the lyrics of Pomefiore song there is a part about waltzing over white snow and during that part Vil and Rook actually waltz with one another, it is amazing.
The song ends and the girls in front of me are quietly chanting "Heartlsabyul, Heartslabyul, Heartslabyul" ww
--
After Pomefiore song is Heartslabyul song.
Amazing choreography. There are two Trey and Cater moments, there is a part where all five are marching together, amazing.
There is also a Cater and Ace moment! 🔸❤️
--
After Heartslabyul is Diasomnia song, memo is: "ethereal."
There is a Lilia/Malleus moment where they touch hands, a Silver/Malleus moment, a Silver/Lilia moment, a Sebek/Silver moment, it is all so great.
--
After Diamonia song is Heartslabyul appearing all together, they thank everyone for coming.
Next is Savanaclaw together, there seems to be a theme of the characters confidently knowing that their dorm's performance was obviously the best.
Memo says "so much screaming" but do not remember what happened exactly💦
Savanaclaw is followed by Octavinelle and Scarabia.
Scarabia is so funny, Kalim is doing full body, huge gestures and loud talking and waving. Jamil is silent. Waits until Kalim is done, bows, leaves ww
Then Pomefiore and then Ignihyde and then Diasomnia.
At the very end the full cast is teleported in to say goodbye. In a quick moment they all interact with the person next to them but all I remember is Cater linking arms with Leona and then they all disappeared.
Everyone is chanting for an encore and it is here, Wish Resound! This also looks even better than it did during Twst Fes. Want to sing so much.
And final is Rave UP UP! Such a cute dance!
And that is all! Also attending tomorrow, excited to see what things may be different~
😭😭😭
I am determined to go to a Twst event next year!
Love the universal fan language of, “So much screaming.”
Twisted Wonderland Swear Ranking Update
Updated ranking of who swears the most in the main story/events/vignettes and the top 5 are:
#1 Leona 👑 #2 Ace #3 Jack #4 Mobs #5 Fellow
Characters who have yet to use such words in the game are Trey, Rook, and Silver.
Note: As what constitutes a bad word can vary by person, culture, dialect, region, etc., a wide range has been included.
Previous ranking here.
Details on what words were counted, what they mean and who says what have been provided here:
Twisted Wonderland Swear Ranking Note: These localizations are not literal translations (“くそ” does not literally mean “to damn something,” f
Special Mention: A title card from the Eternity Float event that is just the word "Dammit---!!"
Additions:
Shout out to Leona, Ace and Jack for beating out a literal RANDOM ASSORTMENT OF NPCs
And extra props to Leona for not just doubling the next runner up, but nearly Quadrupling his count!
And extra, extra props to him for smashing the competition so outrageously that not even the combined efforts of the remaining 4 of the top 5 could usurp him (202 swears)
I don't know if you've answered this before , but any information on yuu's clothes in events in-game ??
Hello hello, thank you for this question! 🦐
The prefect sometimes gets new clothes for events and sometimes does not! Here is a list in order of release, with relevant in-game comments (EN events only):
Beanfest: Camo Jacket
"A bean blaster-the smaller model. Bean bags, two magic camo jackets...might as well put the camo jackets on now. Here, Prefect, take one. The colors look loud to friendlies, but from the monster team's POV, they make you blend in with your surroundings optic camo-style." - Cater
Fairy Gala: No description?
"I guess you don't look half-bad yourself, for an herbivore." - Leona "Yes, Prefect, you're certainly going to fit right in at a fairy engagement." - Jamil
Phantom Bride: No
Wish Upon a Star: No
Halloween: Ghost costume? Made from curtain scraps.
"You look like the wimpiest ghost on the block." - Grim "It'd be kind of sad if you were the only ones on campus not in costume for Halloween, right? So we threw these together with some curtain scraps." - Ghosts "If you wanna thank anyone, thank the ghosts. They made the costumes." - Ace
Master Chef: No
Vargas Camp: No
Firelit Sky: No description?
"Wow, Prefect, you look fantastic too! That outfit works great on you!" - Kalim
Harveston: Apple and floral-patterned outfit.
"I must say, that looks perfect on you, Prefect." - Sebek "Yes, the adorable apple and floral pattern suits you." - Jade
Port Fest: No
Glorious Masquerade: A cape, matching with Grim? (Thank you so much @chibi-rose !!)
"Heh heh. Sure, you can't hold a candle to me, but you look pretty slick in that cape." - Grim "Your ribbon spreads out in the back like a cape too, Grim. It looks like you two are wearing matching outfits." - Deuce
Cloudcalling: No outfit, only a ribbon
"Pretty cool, right? This is what me and Prefect are gonna be wearin'." - Grim "Huh, so you two put ribbons on, huh? Even just a ribbon makes a big difference." - Lilia
White Rabbit: Outfit that includes rabbit ears and tail
"You look like one of the topiaries from the park come to life." - Silver "The ears, the tail! You really pull them off!" - Epel
Stitch: Tropical shirt and hat that "kinda" matches Grim
"You're lookin' pretty good yourself with that tropical shirt and hat...actually, you and Prefect kinda match. When you're side by side, you REALLY stand out." - Ace
Playfulland: Similar jacket to Leona with frills similar to Lilia.
"Looks like you've got the same kind of jacket as Leona, Prefect. And frills like Lilia's. I've never seen you wear anythin' like it before I have to say, it's nice." - Jack
Tapis Rouge: Khaki brown outfit to match the rest of the students.
"Looks like they put you in the same khaki brown as the rest of us." - Azul
It’s so much fun picking apart the character’s outfits, and trying to make your own based on the era, culture, movie, in-game dialogue and what-ever seems to stand out.
Do we have a full list of all the Heartslabyul rules or are they just random number applied to whatever rule they're currently referring to?
Hello hello, thank you for this question! 🌹
The rules of Heartslabyul seem to be following a consistent continuity, with no two rules accidentally applied to the same number, for example, or any rules accidentally referred to by two different numbers, etc :>
There are 810 rules of Heartslabyul which Yana has explained is because of the way "heart" is pronounced in Japanese:
Heart is read as ハート / hah - toh, with "hah" being one way that the number 8 can be pronounced and "toh" being one way that 10 can be pronounced.
Riddle says that he is capable of reciting all 810 rules and he is not pleased by the thought that non-students do not know them.
The ones we have seen in the game thus far are as follows!
Rule 1, You must run at top speed forever and always remain in the same spot.
Rule 6, No fighting on campus
Rule 23, One must never bring a cat to a formal affair
Rule 53, When something is stolen from you, you must take it back
Rule63, Those who anger the queen in court must run through a maze with card soldiers in pursuit.
Rule 89, Never eat a tart without the Queen’s permission
Rule 124, When you get soaking wet, you must dry off with a run in the ocean
Rule 153, No black tea at night? Only herbal tea at night? This rule has maybe never been stated outright in the game and is possibly a little vague: Trey says, "Make sure it's herbal tea, not black. You know what rule 153 says about drinking tea at night," and Riddle says, "In accordance with rule 153, I'll have to make herbal tea instead," but we are maybe still waiting on exact phrasing for this rule.
Rule 186, Never eat a hamburger on Tuesday
Rule 228, Flowers in gardens must never be picked on Wednesdays
Rule 249, Flamingo caretakers are to don pink attire
Rule 256, No drinking honey-sweetened lemonade after 8pm
Rule 271, One must leave the table within fifteen minutes of completing their lunch
Rule 339, The post-meal beverage is to be lemon tea with two sugar cubes
Rule 346, Croquet must not be played after 5:00pm
Rule 372, If a red-capped mushroom sprouts on a Monday morning, the roses in the garden must be white
Rule 412, When you see a pair of moving glasses in the forest, never go back the way you came
Rule 469, When throwing a party for new friends, one must decorate with both red and white roses
Rule 529, If you eat a steak on the night of a full moon, a cat must play the violin afterwards
Rule 562, One must never bring a chestnut tart to an unbirthday tea party
Rule 648, One must brush one’s teeth twice over after eating turkey
Rule 703, Anyone who comes in second in a croquet tournament must serve the queen tea the next day
An interesting detail about Rule #53 is that Cater also cites it in Book 1, but he quotes it as, “Stolen property must be returned.”
When it comes to the Queen of Hearts rules I consider Riddle’s quotes to be the closest thing to an official version, but in his Halloween SSR he mentions “a rule,” but not which number 😣
Based on these factors, the rule itself may either be phrased differently or be longer than the quotes provided.
Another interesting detail, is in Riddle’s Tropical Wear. Though he doesn’t declare it as a rule, he gets in a tizzy over having herbal tea before dawn (aka ‘at night’). Could this be tied to rule #153, a separate rule specific to the queen or just one of his personal rules?
here you go, shrimps. But why does it lowkey work tho 😭
I’m glad Twst isn’t an otome, but are we sure sure?

“Egg of (profession)” is a Japanese-language idiom that can be used to describe someone who is in training to become something, like a law student being an egg of a lawyer, or an aspiring idol being an egg of an idol.

Wordplay comes up constantly in Twst. Crowley’s “whip of love,” for example, is both a Japanese-language expression for “tough love” and a literal magical object that he uses to bind people, accompanied by a whipping sound. More here ▶︎
"Egg of a magic user" comes up often in Twst, but as “egg of thing” is not a typical turn of phrase in English it makes sense that this was changed in the English-language adaptation for the game.
At first it was removed, but eventually the EN team started incorporating it as “fledgling” instead of “egg.”
While this is possibly the closest that the English language can come to recreating Yana’s wordplay, it is not quite encapsulating the same symbolism: As Yana herself explains,
“Eggs are a good symbol of things that can never go back to how they were once they have been broken.”

“Egg” was also changed to “fledgling” in Book 7-12-2.

Canonically there has been no dialogue to insinuate that the characters in Twst know what hoverboards are, but the word “hoverboard” has now been added to dialogue twice on EN.
In both instances the characters originally compared the objects to skateboards.
You’re telling me that wasn’t just a Shugo Character thing!?
Hints in the game about characters' personal fashion: Ruggie
Summary: ・Considers clothing to be a trivial thing to spend money on ・Likes casual clothes because mobility is important
Ruggie says he considers clothes to be a “trivial” thing to spend money on, and he does not seem fond of buttons, saying that his Fairy Gala outfit has too many of them.
The shirt he wears in his loungewear card does not seem to be something he bought or picked out specifically for himself, but rather something that he found somewhere.
Ruggie seems to prioritize mobility, describing his Port Wear shorts are light and comfy. He says, “Mobility’s important, that’s why I like casual clothes.”
Ruggie describes his Glorious Masquerade outfit as “itchy” and says he likes his “fishy coin pursue” during New Year’s: “nothing beats the sweet sound of coins jingling around!”
Ruggie may have selected both his own and Leona’s outfits for Vargas Camp, which might be examples of his personal preferences for outdoor wear looks, but he also may have just been going for practicality?
I could be reading too much into it considering the usual outfits he’s featured in, but based on his awakening in Book 7, he may also have a preference for clothes that don’t stain easily.
