I've had the honor to work with @KaggyFilms on this awesome print of Azul and Jamil! 🐙 Tensions risings

Thank you so much for the opportunity and entrusting me with our boys, It's been an honor to draw these 2 trouble makers!🩷

And i hope you Twisted fans enjoy it just as much too!🐍 Debuting at Anime Frontiers!

This started as an attempt for me to simply research the sport so I could better write my own stories with it involved and turned into something so much bigger than I expected it to. So, for all my fellow writers out there, please accept my notes and observations on the ever-loved sport of Twisted Wonderland: Magical Shift! (or Spelldrive, whichever you prefer) Since the sport was compared a lot to soccer/futball by Yuu, I took a few inspired liberties via the rules and regulations to further flesh the game out further.

HUGE thanks to @yuurei20​ for helping provide additional information from the novels to help me compile these notes! If at some point additional information is revealed with regards to the game in the manga, I’ll go back and update this post further!

Overblot Fire, Souls, and Curses Manifesting

A mini theory here, but I think I finally realized what the fire on an Overblotters eyes are.

It’s their soul

Starting off a little dramatic haha. Book 6 is an absolute goldmine for piecing together the mysteries of Overblot, and I just realized the significance of this line: A “curse manifesting” tends to shape itself with fire. Of course, not in all cases. But the Shroud family and Grim all have fire related to a curse- which is technically a curse on their souls.

And notice the location of the flames on Ortho’s chest: it’s exactly where his heart would be. At the end of Book 6, Human!Ortho’s soul merges with Robot!Ortho’s AI, but it’s also referred to as a “heart.”

An further evidence for the flames is a bit of a funny one, but each character has their own candy for Groovies. And Ortho’s candy is called Soul Candy…in the shape of a flame.

Well, what does this have to do with the Overblot fires on the EYES?

Overblot is the culmination of the magic users darkest emotions finally revealing their true form. And eyes are the window to the soul, aren’t they? The soul is typically represented by a heart due to its connection with emotions, but the soul is “viewed” through the eyes. Something that may back up this theory are the Blot Phantoms. They have no heads, because they aren’t beings with souls- they’re just a manifestation of dark emotions.

Short theory, but I hope I’m getting somewhere with this \(//∇//)\

What are your thoughts about Azul and Jamil’s dynamic and what do you think would happen if Jamil is sorted in Octavinelle?

I love Azul and Jamil’s dynamic!! It’s one of the things that I think about really often, and asking me this is asking to open a can of worms because I have much to say on this.

Jamil may deny it, but Azul isn’t wrong that both of them are similar. They’re both talented – Jamil possibly even more so – and they both like showing off to the world. However, their circumstances is what sets them apart.

Azul and Jamil have such opposing color palettes. Azul has light silver hair, Jamil has black hair. Azul has fair skin, Jamil has dark skin. Azul’s eyes are a shade of blue that’s on the lighter side, Jamil’s eyes are dark grey. Azul’s dorm clothes consist of cool blues and purples with blacks and a bit of white from the polo. Jamil’s dorm clothes use a combination of reds, golds, and blacks. 

Aside from color, there are also other physical features they have that clash. Azul’s hair is short and wavy, while Jamil’s is long and straight. Azul’s clothes cover himself up while Jamil’s clothes are light and airy, leaving his arms uncovered. Furthermore, and probably the most important detail about them physically: Azul’s clothes are meant to show who is the one in power. This is canon, as he says in his dorm SSR that when he puts on his dorm uniform, his dorm members respect him more. Jamil’s clothes, however, are meant to conceal himself, with him wearing a hoodie in not just the dorm uniform but also in the school uniform. 

And that contrast shows in their personality. Azul is someone who doesn’t exactly hide his talents but rather, he shows them off for the world to see. Jamil, on the other hand, hides his talents, and he takes extra care to not draw unwanted attention to himself. One brags, the other hides. It’s one of the main differences between Azul and Jamil. 

However, at their core, they both have the same kind of ego that likes to show the world what they can do. Azul likes to brag about his strength and talents so that he can show how powerful he is and that he is not someone who can be stepped on. Jamil wants to brag for the same reason, that he wants to show everyone what he can really do.

But why does one show off while the other hides? 

Simple. This is the other main difference between the two of them: Azul is free to do what he likes to do. He isn’t trapped by any sort of hierarchy, so he has the freedom to mold himself into what he can be. Jamil, on the other hand, isn’t free. He was born into servitude from the beginning of his life, and until Kalim can set him free, Jamil can’t really do much. 

This core difference that they have is very much connected to the opposing color palettes that they have. See how Azul’s color palette is blue while Jamil’s is red? 

Don’t they remind you of 

Azul represents the blue genie, the genie that Aladdin had. Both Azul and the blue genie granted wishes, but most importantly, the genie was set free by Aladdin at the end of the movie, reflecting the freedom Azul has. The main story seems to show this representation as well because in chapter 4–30, Jamil calls Azul his “genie in the lamp”, referencing the scene where Jafar took Aladdin’s lamp and became the new master of the genie. 

Jamil represents the red genie, the genie that Jafar became. Aside from the fact that Jamil is twisted off from Jafar, which would include his genie self, Jafar became trapped in the lamp, forced to serve a new master, by the end of the movie because of Aladdin, reflecting the lack of freedom Jamil has. 

Now, as to what could happen if Jamil got sorted into Octavinelle, well for one, F for him. But I’d like to think that perhaps he can finally find someone who will understand him. Someone who understands his desire to show off and someone who wishes for him to show those talents off. Even if Azul is shady af, I think he could be a good influence for Jamil, if circumstances can allow them to actually talk to each other where they can’t show animosity.

jamil’s trust issues are awsome but sometimes (everyday) i also think about azul’s own trust issues. the azul P.E. vignette explains it so well and i remember being concerned when i first read it . i sincerely feel that if jamil ever started warming up to azul, the latter would start panicking and not trust him and turn the tables. and . I WISH I SAW MORE OF THAT ASPECT

[heartscrypt]

YOURE SO REAL FOR THIS ONE PIXIE!!!!

i jave like. a thought but it's really messy so BARE WITH ME. i think that azul is comfortable with how they are rn with azul chasing and jamil turning him down at every opportunity mostly because when jamil turns him down azul knows that jamil doesn't Want anything from him. its very clear that jamil doesn't want anything from him and doesn't see the value in making an exchange just to gain something from azul. so when jamils feelings change and he starts outwardly expressing that, the natural conclusion for azul to jump to is "he wants something from me and he's trying to get it through manipulating my feelings". Lol

both these mfers have a "nothing in this world is free" mindset but also a "i would do this thing for you no questions asked no repayment" adjacent love language so it clashes SO HARD when they come together. jamil looks at azul being down horrible for him and paying so much attention to him that he's able to fulfill desires that jamil has never explicitly expressed, and interprets it as azul attempting to entrap him in a deal. azul looks at jamil being mildly fond of him and doing things unprompted for azul's well-being because (for some reason) he cares, and interprets it as jamil plotting against him in that subtly manipulative way of his. You guys are both fucking stupid

[pixiestickie]

jamie you always manage to dissect my thoughts and lay them out in the open and im always so greatful for it . im actually so glad to hear its not just me who thinks jamil would definitely have to do the chasing himself at some point . the process of them trusting each other would be SO DAMN LONG ((theyre traumatized))

like. imagine jamil (painstakingly) warming up to azul after all this chasing only for azul to suddently push him away (maybe straight up ask him what favour he wants) and jamil is like ‘????? oh he js worse than i thought’

I dont think azul would ever believe any love confession towards him either and this aspect has so much potrntial YOU KNOW

literqlly EVERYTHING about jamiazu clashes. LIKE there are so many things about them that clash horribly. i think ive mentioned other clashy aspects in older posts. and i love every aspect of it this ship is honestly batshit insane

[pixiestickie]

jamil’s trust issues are awsome but sometimes (everyday) i also think about azul’s own trust issues. the azul P.E. vignette explains it so well and i remember being concerned when i first read it . i sincerely feel that if jamil ever started warming up to azul, the latter would start panicking and not trust him and turn the tables. and .

[i-suggest-hope-and-kindness]

I can't tell if it would be funnier if Jamil fully did not realize that he also did this and immediately jumps to 'What the fuck?? Why is he being weirder than normal all of a sudden' or if Jamil absoutely recognizes that he also did this and is utterly horrified with the realization that Azul genuinely didn't have anything bad in mind when he was trying to befriend Jamil at first

[puermalus-blog]

[puermalus-blog]

okay no i'm still not over the whole classmates thing, because based on the number seating due to them being arranged in alphabetical order, jamil sits at probably the farthest row in class, and yet azul somehow had always been able to take notice of him even if they were seated very far apart with azul in front

[puermalus-blog]

i just like seeing them together, its amusing to think about the scenarios they'd get up to especially with how good jamil's labwear vignette was. jamil tryin his hardest to blend in the background while azul does whatever he can to encourage him to be himself more

[puermalus-blog]

HEY SO YEAH I JUST GOT REMINDED THAT SCARABIA HAS HAD A LONG-TERM RIVALRY WITH OCTAVINELLE WHEN IT COMES TO GETTING THE HIGHEST MARKS IN EXAMS

the dorm rivalry.... the fact that both dorms are complete opposites with the searing sands and the much colder seas, and yet how in nature they have several similarities....

not to mention how both of their villains are associated with granting wishes in some way, like that parallel is one of my favourites when it comes to the comparison of the stories they were originated from, and how the fact that in chapter 4 azul lowkey took up the role of the genie. like someone else explained it better in another post so i'll edit it here once i find it l8tr

Edit: it's here!!! rlly good post on their dynamics

[puermalus-blog]

I KEEP FORGETTING THEY'RE ACTUAL CLASSMATES. oh my god they're classmates.

[pixiestickie]

also jamiazu prompt fr u to talk abt: who do u think kissed the other first. how do u think their first kiss played out

RUBS MY EVIL HANDS LIKE AN EVIL MOSQUITO ON A SUMMER MORNING

okay so ill get to the point my awnser is jamil im sorry . i dont know how many people here will agree with this post but i am no longer a coward on tumblr (LIAR)

i mostly feel like this because I can’t picture azul as being straight forward about that sort of thing. i can picture him as meticolously planning and practicing everything beforehand and then just failing miserably because jamil is jamil.

sometimes i think abt how azul never had a friend to socualize with in his childhood (other than the tweels which are FAR from normal friends). if he ever crushed on someone as a kid he 100% never acted out on it because of how insecure he was (and is) with all that bullying he received

also azul is at disadvantage because jamil is always so grumpy around him how is one supposed to know if its ok to kiss this guy without getting punched in the face

the whole thing about jamiazu is that jamil needs to learn how to trust azul (abd actually azul does as well but thats another can of worms that needs its seperate post) which is why i can only see it happen post-book6 jamil

once he learns to overcome his horrifying trust issues induced by his horrible job . thats when he kisses azul ^_^

i really went off topic with this post cuz it was supposed to be about a first kiss but i deserve to wtite paragraphs and be shameless i think

anyway my vision is: they’re hanging out alone in an unplanned place like maybe away from a scarabia party? maybe in the fucking hallways bathrooms away from classes? just not a planned date or anything because i have delusions (i feel like jamil would do it in an unplanned context on purpose). at first they’re just standing there alone with lots of tension, with azul trying to chat like he always does but jamil is deep in thought about how he feels about everything. jamil concludes that he is so tired of depriving himself of what he wants and of holding himself back. that he should go for that kiss because he deserves it ^_^ and azul explodes and dies……. u think about the rest…….

i hope you like my vision i should not be allowed to write crimge when sleep deprived ❤️❤️❤️

[puermalus-blog]

every time i see olivier and roland they're like older versions of jamil & kalim. i love them sm

[puermalus-blog]

they talk with such familiarity with one another that their banter lowkey sounds like flirting

[puermalus-blog]

i love how he calls it counseling because that's definitely how it sounded like imo

[puermalus-blog]

GOD i love the fact that they actually get to show how astute and observant leona rlly is in book 6 because not gonna lie he wasnt he really able to rlly showcase that in the savanaclaw chapter so the fact that he was rlly done justice here is incredible. he's being so smart it's sexy

[puermalus-blog]

ooooohhhhh im rlly lovin this part. as much as i love jamil i just rlly like it when someone says it straight like this, and especially since it's leona who's someone jamil has a slight distaste for

[puermalus-blog]
