An Analysis to Twisted Wonderland’s Dorms Values (alternatively, How to Sort Your OC/Crossover Character into TW Dorms)
Heartslabyul, founded by the severity of the Queen of Hearts, is home to the law admirers. The spirit of Heartslabyul is for those who follows the rules, as well for those who are booksmart and does things by what the textbook says. They do things for the sake of tradition, of law. If your char insist to follow or even enforce the rules, then they are sorted here.
Savanaclaw, founded by the stubbornness of King of Beasts, literally is the embodiment of the toxic masculinity. In contrast to Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw is home to the chaos fanatics, whose rules is exactly the lack of it, answers every question with violence, and is the most active in bullying (see Deuce’s robe story, Lilia’s lab coat , Ruggie’s dorm uniform) and simply see that physical strength(or maybe, how big your biceps are) is all that matters. Your char is an aggressive jock? They are here!
Octavinelle, founded by “pity” of the Sea Witch, is home for those who work with the capitalistic/commerce mindset, including to flourish yourself at the cost of others’ benefit. In order to do their scammy schemes,whereas Heartslabyul is home to the booksmart and Scarabia is home to the street smart, Octavinelle is home to those who has both. Nothing is free with them, so be prepared to have smth to deal with them.
Scarabia, founded by meticulous planning of the Sorcerer of the Desert, is home to the cunning people who masterminds behind the puppet king, as shown in their insignia, a snake biting the palace. As its insignia is the snake , this is ofc the most Slytherin dorm, supposedly filled with the cunning people with high self preservation sense.
Pomefiore, founded by hard work of the Beautiful Queen, is home to the elegant pharmacists and the neurodivergent artists. By far the most complex dorm (Yana Toboso put most of her money on the glam dorm? Quick, act surprised!) Pomefiore helds values that contrasts all the other dorms. Heartslabyul are admirers of law, Savanaclaw adhere to chaos, Diasomnia seek to pleases family or ppl they care of,Octavinelle flourish themselves by leeching off others, Scarabia stays in the shadows, and Ignihyde keep their knowledge to themselves. Pomefiore is none of those.
Pomefiore does not strive to the idea of chaos nor law itself, nor they seek to simply please ppl they loved. Pomefiore is all about the self improvement, to develop yourself for the sake of yourself, so that one day you can say “I am me” proudly. Pomefiore peacocks asks what is truly the best for them at the moment, to follow the rules, to follow chaos, to follow beloved people, not just followingit for the sake of it. To focus on your strong points, and to find your true self as you develop your potential. Self improvement, not self preservation. That’s Scarabia. Pomefiore strives to improve yourself without the need of leeching off others like Octavinelle. Pomefiore is all about your own unrelenting effort. While Pomefiore is about being yourself, it’s not about save yourself. You can keep your own uniqueness while still willing to help others, like Rook.
The self improvement of Pomefiore actually is rather close to Ravenclaw’s values than to Slytherin, except that Pomefiore does not only expect only one aspect , but all aspects, that perfectionism itself is another value to Pomefiore, to expect not only beauty, but also intelligence, strength, manners, skills, personality. Everything. It’s not that Pomefiore only cares for beauty, they care for everything including beauty, or better said, there is beauty in everything, as as much they value strength as much they value beauty, it can be translated that there is strength in everything.
And precisely because self care , self improvement and developing as yourself is part of Pomefiore’s values, by extension fighting prejudice itself is Pomefiore’s values. Gender norms? Feminine people who cares for their looks are evil and superficial? (I know yall think this, and Yana do too, and off she goes calling out the fandom, that Vil is pissed everytime he’s casted as that kind of char in universe too) Neurodivergents are freaks? Stupid ppl will stay stupid/weak ppl will stay weak? Poor people doesn’t have keen sense of beauty as much rich ppl do? To say fuck to all of that is precisely what Pomefiore does.
In Pomefiore, you are expected to have taste for beautiful things, to create art, be it craft art or performance art, not just that you’re beautiful yourself. That, and while the value is self improvement, you are expected to help others improve too. Note that while Vil actively test people, Pomefiore students does not actively bully people unlike Savanaclaw. Looking down on people and blocks their growth isn’t beautiful, helping each other grow is. And thus, Pome is eager even to share their knowledge with others (assuming you can get past prejudice about their looks)
Ignihyde, founded on the perseverance of the King of the Dead, is home to the tech geeks. In contrast to the booksmart Heartslabyul , the street smart Scarabia, and Octavinelle that has both, Ignihyde is the place to the tech geeks. They are also introverted, hard to approach, and keep their knowledge to themselves, as well as much as it’s home to the internet addicts, it is also home for the weebs. In contrast to Pomefiore that crafts art, Ignihyde crafts new techs.
Diasomnia, founded on the elegance of the Witch of Thorns, helds militaristic/knightly code of conduct to their dorm. Another physical dorm, (as shown that Malleus, Sebek and Silver are all sporty and have big muscles, and Lilia too can keep up with Leona in sports) the difference is that Diasomnia also values magical power, intelligence, and honor/sportsmanship unlike Savanaclaw which is all about the brawl, muscles and chaos. Diasomnia also values bond, more specifically familial bond and loyal to those they consider family. As much Diasomnia is disciplined and values honor, they still value bond and family more, not abiding to law for the sake of it like Heartslabyul. Savanaclaw is reckless, Diasomnia is brave. Diasomnia does not initiate attacks, but they are ready to fight back. They can fight, but don’t consider violence as solution or first option to everything.
feel free to ask if there is something lacking or you don’t get /char you are confused where to put!
