Welcome to my first official twst x kingdom keepers AU post!! I have,,, m a n y,,, thoughts for this AU, but my storyline for Idia is the most fleshed out right now. This is my VERY (very) rough sketch for him!!
AU/Character Notes below!!
Firstly…
What IS kingdom keepers?
It’s a book series from the early 2000s set in Disney World, but eventually expands to other disney locations as well. Following a group of middle schoolers, Disney has kids auditon to be part of their new “DHI” program (Disney Host Interactive), in which the kids will be motion captured and projected into the parks as holograms to act as virtual tour guides. However, the kids who become DHIs wake up in the parks in their hologram form after they sleep, and realize that all the rides/characters/animatronics/etc are REAL and come to life. Oh yeah also the disney villains have formed a coalition group called the Overtakers and they want to take over the world.
Obviously this series has some connections to TWST, so I think it’d be fun to explore the characters there! (Plus I make a TWST au for everything so-)
general au notes:
Scroll to next section if you just want AU Idia Lore!
these will be compiled in a master post later, but for some context here:
All characters are aged down in this AU!! First years are ages 11-12, second years are 13-14, and third years are around 15-16 (Leona being the oldest). There are some exceptions to this, though!
➡️➡️Ortho is 9 (truly a little baby😭😭). Lilia is 17, making him the oldest (ancient) member of the DHI kids.
Rather than just one area, the DHI gang were scouted/auditioned from all over the world. By chance, some of the characters already know eachother or are aware of eachother (similar to canon). When they all showed up for audiovisual recording to be done, it was a little chaotic.
In order to theme their hosts in accordance with the parks, these DHIs were assigned to different units that correspond to different disney properties.
Each unit acts as the hosts for different areas of the magic kingdom, corresponding to their theming. (Ex. Ignihyde/Tomorrowland) however, in later updates to these DHIs, and due to their popularity, guests can choose which DHI to interact with in ANY area of the park through their smartphones.
Unlike the original book, some DHIs were given altered appearances in order to better suit the theming (I.E, Heartslabyul members having card suit face paint, Ignihyde members having blue flame hair).
Each unit also has a unit leader, who serves as the default host selection in their respective regions. These are the house wardens in canon.
notes about Idia:
He is 15 in this AU! Still a gamer though.
His parents are pretty high and mighty in the tech industry, leading him and Ortho to be interested in pursuing it as well.
He’s always wearing the same exact pajamas, barring his constantly rotating armada of cringe 2010s hot topic anime tshirts. (Vil has tried to convince him to get some other clothes. This does not go well).
Him and Ortho made matching friendship bracelets for eachother when they were young, and haven’t taken them off since!
The yellow around his (and ortho’s) iris’ are almost neon, and will shine in the dark like an animals. This gives them a vaguely cat like appearance.
Him and Ortho were homeschooled through very expensive tutors, for better or worse (definitely worse)
Once they begin meeting the other DHI units, Idia begins sleeping with his noise cancelling headphones so they spawn in with him. These people are just too loud.
some Idia origin story notes (not everything!! I wanna write some fics detailing the events more):
The Shroud bros decided to audition to be DHIs out of their mutual want to “become heroes” like in their favorite games and Disney movies (and because they were interested in the new tech)
They both passed the audition, and recorded their lines and mocap stuff smoothly! Unfortunately, soon after the brothers were in an accident that left Ortho near death.
He survived, but has since been comatose, with the doctors projecting an extremely low chance of survival. Although Idia’s parents aren’t hopeful about the circumstances, they agree to keep him on life support because of Idia’s mental state.
(despite the tragic event, the Shroud bros DHIs roll out anyways, and Idia uses the money to pay off the hospital bills. His parents could afford it, but Idia feels responsible)
Since then, Idia has been staying with Ortho in the hospital, never once leaving his side. With his parent’s weight in medical tech, it was pretty easy to allow him to stay there.
When Idia wakes up in the park, the first thing he notices is that his DHI’s flaming blue hair seems to have carried to him. Naturally, he assumes he’s dreaming.
Not long after waking in the park, he felt a familiar tug on the back of his hoodie. Turning, he was face to face with Ortho. Notably, Ortho was completely inhabiting his holographic form, not wearing pajamas but dressed in the style of his DHI.
OK THATS ALL FOR NOW BYE FEEL FREE TO SHARE ANY THOUGHTS OR WHATEVER (scuttles away)
I’m returning to tumblr to say that I’m bringing this (and a number) of AUs back and fleshing them out!! Trying to decide how I want to format it (bc I’m mainly interested in pursuing the shroud brothers story but still want to touch on other stuff…) Most likely, it will be long fic style on ao3, but I will keep yall updated.
I’m moving all my twst related activities here, so expect a lot more posting! That’s all for now ~

TWST x Haunted Mansion AU (the classic Disney attraction, NOT the movies) where all the characters are some of the 999 happy haunts that have taken up the halls of the mansion (NRC)…
Has both goofy silly fun potential AND angst potential, the perfect mix. Plus drawing ghost designs for the boys would be so fun.
1) PINOCCHIO EVENT GOES CRAZY ORTHO KALIM AND ACE IS MY DREAM TEAM (I will be extensively writing a post about each of their connections to being “puppets”)
2) I want to write more of my twst kingdom keepers au…
I feel like we need more twst action movie AUs. Secret agent, daring heist, falling in love with the enemy and realizing you have more in common than originally thought when stealing some absurdly expensive jewelry in a crazy car chase sequence… we must capitalize on this

OK THATS ALL FOR NOW BYE FEEL FREE TO SHARE ANY THOUGHTS OR WHATEVER (scuttles away)
Vaguely considering drawing/writing a twst x kingdom keepers AU?? I’td be structured a bit differently than the OG books since i think it’d be fun for ALL the twst students to be included, and def to have more twst influence in regards to OBs and stuff… i feel like the concept would be fun to play around with!!
Like, imagine Riddle, who only auditioned to be a DHI because having Disney connections would look GREAT on his resume, finding himself in a holographic body in the Alice in wonderland ride😭😭😭 and the animatronics are VIOLENT ?! He did not sign up for this shit 😭
ooo I don't have time to write it now but thinking of a jamikali AU... A few months after winter break they get called back home seemingly out of nowhere. Turns out: someone told Kalim's parents about the overblot. Kalim makes every excuse he can think of, because if he can't Jamil will 100% be dead and eventually pulls the "I love him" card. His parents try to call his bluff and basically go "ok, prove it. Do this magic ritual that will bind your souls together and will make you unable to physically harm each other." Kalim knows Jamil's gonna resent him [for real this time] but it's the only way to keep him and his family safe...
Kalim clings to his father in a way he hasn't since he was a child. He's never been particularly tall, but he'll use every extra centimeter he has to keep the man from leaving and alerting the guards. He scrambles for something to say that he hasn't already.
"If you woke up and mama was pressing a knife to your throat, would you stop her? Would you tell anyone what happened? Report it to any authority?"
His father stops. "Kalim..." His voice starts firm, but quickly trails off.
"Baba, please, you can't-" Kalim buries his face in his father's shoulder. He's out of options. Hopefully Jamil won't be too mad at him for this. "I love him."
The man sighs.
All ye who were nosy and clicked the kept reading, your reward: a snippet. The only one I have [for now]
Decided to translate some of the line stickers ive seen going around!! (mainly because I want to use them on ios 17-)
Sorry for bad quality!! I had trouble finding the stickers high res.
If you have any specific requests for more twst line stickers, feel free to send in an ask and I'll make them!!
the ios 17 sticker feature, as far as my testing goes, is not exactly the best yet T-T sometimes the stickers will become giant, sometimes they're normal, and you can't choose what IOS thinks the sticker will be, meaning that text always gets cut off T-T. Hopefully in the future IOS fixes this!!
These would probably be pretty hype discord stickers though!
