Hi Miss Raven! I'm really enjoying reading the things you wrote for the future event and trien sensei event! Wonderful writing as usual ^^
If you don't mind me asking, I actually want to see some yume content to certain twst characters from japanese players but I don't know what tag to use or where to look Do you know where I'm supposed to look? I'm not sure how jp player tag their content.
NOTE: I know shipping can be a sensitive thing, but please, please, please be civil about it. This is meant to be an informative post; if I list particular tags or examples here, they are just meant to be that: TAGS and EXAMPLES. It is not equivalent to me endorsing certain content or ships.
Thank you for the feedback 🎵 I have a lot more requests to write so you’ll be fed for a while please look forward to those~
The Japanese fandom LOVES to tag works so it's easy for other fans to find what they are interested in and to avoid what they dislike. Keep the fandom etiquette in mind and practice it yourself! This means don't use unrelated tags to boost exposure when sharing your own posts; it's seen as disrespectful and rude. It also means you do NOT go out of your way to find content you know you dislike and attack the creator.
I believe the general tag for Twst is # ツイステファンアート or #ツイステ. #twstファンアート or #twstイラスト are used for Twst fan art. Most people I know look for Twst stuff on Pixiv, Twitter, or doujin purchasing sites.
If you're looking for shipping content, there are different tags for that:
# twstプラス is for any Twst character x Prefect
#男装監督生 is female Prefect dressed in male clothing or pretending to be male
#twstプラスNL is for Twst character x female Prefect
#twstプラスBL is for Twst character x male Prefect
#twstBL can be used for Twst character x Twst character (no Prefect)
#オリ監 (may also include 創作), #顔あり, and #監督生顔あり refers to the creator's OC or their interpretation of Yuu; Prefect generally has a "face" in these works
#モブ is a generic or “mob” character; typically means Prefect is faceless or can easily be self-inserted or projected onto
#ツイステ夢 or #twst夢 is “yume” or self ship works
If you see a B or Q in the tag, the former means male and the latter means queer or genderfluid
Here are tags that may help you find a particular genre or more specific content:
#夜のツイステ or #夜のツイステプラス refers to general 18+ Twst content
#夜のtwstプラス is for 18+ Twst character x Prefect
#twstマイナス is for yandere Twst character x Prefect
#夜のtwstマイナス is for 18+ yandere Twst character x Prefect
#女化 or #にょた is a scenario in which a character's gender changes to female
#ケモノ is animal features, generally ears and tail (ie kemonomimi); this doesn't refer to beastmen (who already have these traits by default), but generally refers to Prefect or a non-beastman gaining them
#ツイステプラス or #twstプラス is typically “feed good” romantic content
#ツイステマイナス or #twstマイナス is basically angst or content that makes you feed bad
#twstパロ is literally “parody” or an AU; you can add other phrases ahead of it to denote the kind of AU
#卒業後 is "after graduation" and generally means a work setting
受け refers to a submissive or passive personality while 攻め refers to a more aggressive personality; these typically describe the dynamics in a romantic relationship
If you’re looking on Twitter, specific emojis tend to refer to the characters or groups of characters, which I have listed below. I’ve also included the first 2-3 katakana of each character’s first names.
The beginning katakana are combined with one another in order to write ship names. For example, if you want Leona x Prefect, you’d combine the first few katakana for Leona, レオ, and Prefect, 監 or ユウ, to create レオ監 or レオユウ (LeoPrefect or Leona x Prefect). Use a similar formula for your desired character. For example, swap out the レオ (Leo-) part for ジェイ and you get ジェイ監, or JeiPrefect, or Jade x Prefect.
Generally for yumeshipping, it’s the canon character’s name first and then Prefect in the end.
If you’re looking for a BL ship, name order matters. The name that appears first is the “proactive” one in the relationship, while the name that appears second is the “passive” one. For example, カリジャミ (Kalim x Jamil) has Kalim as the lead in the relationship, but ジャミカリ (Jamil x Kalim) has Jamil as the lead in the relationship. YOU DO NOT CROSSTAG; the name order basically makes the ship two entirely separate things and they are treated as such in the JP fandom.
Riddle Rosehearts -> 🌹 リド
Leona Kingscholar -> 🦁 レオ
Ruggie Bucchi -> 🐆 / 🍩 ラギ
Kalim Al-Asim -> 🦂 / ☀️ / 🦦 / 🕌 カリ
Vil Schoenheit -> 👑 ヴィ(ル)
Prefect -> 🦐 (🌸 or 🚺 = female, 🚹 = male) 監 or ユウ
Manga Prefect (usually refers to Yuuken) -> 🦞 コミ監
Divus Crewel -> ⚗️ / 🐶 クル
Ace’s older brother or Anippola -> 兄ッポラ
Ambrose the 63rd -> 🧙 ア ン
Dawn Knight 🌅 -> 夜明けの騎士 (this is his full title since we don’t know his actual name), have also seen 夜明パパ and シルバーパパ (“Dawn Papa” and “Silver Papa”)
I hope that helps you out ^^ Happy hunting, English-speaking Twsties!!
