Hi!!! I just wanted to say that I really love the way you draw/write Vil in your little comics! I think you do a great job at capturing the more fun side of him in addition to the “pretentious, wine mom” look that’s often portrayed. It just makes the character feel more real.
Also, I was wondering if there was any way you could post that other version of Vil’s unique magic poster to the drive? The one with the full body shot? That’s one of my favorite pieces! (If not it’s totally chill - just figured I’d ask)
Thanks and have a great day!!!
thank you! 💜 and yeah, sure! I popped it in there as "Fairest One of All (Alternate)", and I apologize in advance for your black ink. (secretly though I also love how that one came out, so thank you for the validation. :') sometimes I do good!)
confession: when Twst was still in pre-release, I was not expecting to like any of the pom trio (the website descriptions are kinda terrible for everyone, and especially them). fortunately I was immediately proven wrong when it turned out that they're less ~mysterious aloof beauties~, and more the very weirdly specific dynamic of "Team Rocket except James got all the camp (and also Meowth is their weird little feral child they're trying to pull a pygmalion on against his will)".
So I took this 👆 screenshot while Groovying my Broomquet Sebek, and it got me thinking…
Bruh 🤡 Imagine how awkward celebrating anyone’s birthday is if these happy holidays/vignettes ran concurrently with whatever the heck is going on in episode 7 of the main story???
Anniversary (well, NRC’s founding if you’re going to go with in-game lore) aside, THINK OF HOW GRIM SEBEK’S BIRTHDAY PARTY WOULD BE???????
Everyone’s just. Slumped over in slumber… The perfect birthday gift for them all, forevermore. Malleus tells them it’s Sebek’s special day, so, “Let us celebrate this momentous occasion.” He fits them all in party hats and decorates the Diasomnia lounge (it’s hard to put up balloons when all these thorns are in the way)…
It comes time to sing the birthday song. Malleus’s voice echoes in the dark, empty halls. He’s he sole performer upon that lonely stage. Then there’s a big dance—everyone paired with someone, swaying almost hypnotically to the slow, ominous tune of a single violin. Each student, puppeted by magic.
Malleus brings out Sebek’s birthday cake—a whole cake. He personally cuts the birthday boy a slice. If Sebek was awake, he’d be over the moon and the stars. The cake goes untouched, for the sleeping students would all choke on anything that slips past their lips.
"Happy birthday, Sebek... my most loyal retainer. I know that you would never even dream of leaving me."
And nor would any of the others.
This is it.
This is the happy ending that Malleus wanted for them all 😇
***Side note: There's a lot of variations of the "TWST is actually just all a dream" theory; the version that I currently subscribe to is the one which states that all events/vignettes occur in a dream world birthed from the collective unconscious of the sleeping students, NOT that the dream world is something Malleus himself is controlling every detail of. The latter doesn't make as much sense to me, since there's a lot of personal information Malleus wouldn't know about his classmates (and the lore dropped in the events/vignettes seems to be true to real life as well).
... Although I gotta say, it's funny to think that if Malleus is basically writing out all the scenarios that occur in events/vignettes that means he's technically writing fanfics about his peers 🤣 That would mean that Malleus handpicked Trey (who is similar to Papa Zigvolt) specifically to interview Sebek for this Broomquet. I don't know, something about that concept is just amusing.***
I didn't get him. :( ...so I looked up his dorm story and it is incredible, oh my god. if you haven't noticed by now, Malleus doing the absolute stupidest shit with the best intentions is my favorite, and this is pandering directly to that part of me. I can't pick a favorite part.
