TWST boys VS social media
Riddle
gets rage-baited constantly
still learning the ropes of social media etiquette and getting consistently frustrated because he's surrounded by trolls who tell him conflicting information. ace in particular feeds into this
speaks in proper grammar and punctuation and keeps correcting other people for not doing the same
has read, memorised, and will bring up the site's TOS in his arguments
does not realise several people have blocked him and simply assumes he's won the argument
Ace
has multiple burner accounts
known rage-baiter
has been cancelled multiple times and maintains his stance on everything. he has a lot of people hate-following him, so them in combination with the people who actually follow him because they like him means that his follower count is decently impressive
has had his account reported several times but he's able to keep getting back in proving himself through loopholes
gets his followers to mess with people he thinks are annoying
Deuce
follows a lot of tech DIY accounts and people who post study guides
he had an old account that he pretends doesn't exist because he used to get into a lot of petty fights on it
gullible and falls for a lot of ace's rage-baiting, especially when he's trying to defend riddle
does his best to hold his temper and avoid getting into fights on this account because he's trying to be an honour student, but he just can't help himself when trolls find him to be an easy target
surprisingly good about not falling for phishing/scam bots
Cater
this is cater diamond. you know all his socials are plugged and curated perfectly. he's got posts ready and queued up at calculated times for max engagement
navigates his way through internet discourse/drama like a professional. has never once been cancelled because even his casual replies are done strategically to always put him in a safe light
has a secret account that he never saves his login details for to minimise the risk of posting something to the wrong account. this is the account he uses when he wants to be petty and vindinctive the way he can't on his main. he uses split card so he can post on his main and the secret account at the same time so people can never connect that it's him
when there's conflict brewing for him on his main account, he gets the person cancelled on his secret account at a later time so people can't connect it to him
does a better job than deuce at getting riddle out of trouble online
Trey
doesn't go on his social media much since he's got his hands full at school usually, but he follows a lot of baking accounts/channels for inspo
when he does post, it's usually photos of what he made or reminders about oral hygiene
has made posts detailing the many different tools to help clean your teeth and debunking misconceptions like whether or not you should be spitting all the toothpaste out
often pretty late to see the social media discourse but that's fine because cater usually tells him if there's something that should come to his attention
master of passive aggression if you do drag him into discourse
Leona
he only has a social media because someone else made it for him
it doesn't have a profile photo or description. the only reason he doesn't have a generic username like DelightfulHat6 is because someone else made it for him
forgets to log on most of the time. posts extremely sparingly. he has a lot of followers anyway because people found out that it's his account
has never bothered to change the default settings on his phone either so everything he types is auto-capitalised, auto-corrected, and auto-punctuated. but not everything has punctuation because sometimes he just does speech-to-text
master rage-baiter on accident (or is it?) because he'll respond to whole callout posts and arguments with "K."
Ruggie
lurks more than anything. he's a busy guy and doesn't have all that time to spend on social media.
follows everyone, but particularly people he can get a favour out of. particularly keeps tabs on those that are either needing help with something so he can try to extract monetary value out of it
typos a lot
probably was the one who made leona's account for him. uses leona's account more than leona does and has definitely gotten some opportunities out of it by plugging himself through that. leona is aware of this and doesn't care so long as he doesn't end up needing to deal with an annoying aftermath
follows people who make struggle meal recipes
Jack
primarily uses it to follow fitness accounts and botany/planting accounts. only follows a handful of people he actually knows
has gotten into arguments with people who he thinks are posting incorrect information about macros and bad advice in general
generally minds his own business for the most part but when you drag him into a fight, he'll die on that hill
has had his account suspended bc people reported him after some arguments but he's able to prove his case every time
has fallen for phishing/scam bots
Azul
is following everyone because you have to know your clientele
mostly uses it to post about mostro lounge promotions and services
knows that the future of business relies heavily on social media reach so he's fairly online to keep an eye on trends and what's popular
keeps finding his way through discourse because of people who aren't happy about realising the deal they struck with him was stacked. every single one of those guys ends up singing a different tune and praising him after few hours. people watching the timeline don't know if they're coerced, replaced, or mind-controlled and they're too scared to investigate. the last person who tried cancelling mostro or azul ended up deactivating their account
gets into arguments with idia on the timeline about oshis
Jade
following everyone
doesn't really comment or interact with other people's posts a lot, but when he does it's always a jumpscare because people didn't even realise he was following them
constantly posting about his findings when he goes hiking alongside actual helpful camping tips bc he's also using his account to try and recruit people into his club
will randomly post about craving octopus carpaccio when azul is annoying him
doesn't get into discourse for the sole reason that people are terrified of him
Floyd
he has no idea who he's following. he follows, unfollows, blocks, and unblocks on a whim
posts a lot about the new shoes he buys and different fashions that catch his interest
will randomly go on live and just as spontaneously disconnect without warning
also jumpscares people when he comments on their posts. forgets to reply to DMs most of the time
gets extremely annoyed when he finds out some people blocked him when he's trying to talk to them so he ends up hunting them down in real life for sport
Kalim
has a decently popular social media account. constantly posting about banquets, parties, dance clips, and daily jamil glazing
found out about giveaways so he does them every now and then when he remembers because he thinks it's fun. at one point he just kept sending people venmo/money transfers whenever they'd talk about being short of cash and jamil had to put a stop to it because ruggie kept playing it up
tends to do a lot of dancing trends
will casually and cheerfully lore dump about assassination attempts he's gone through growing up in replied or on live
doesn't really get into discourse because any malicious attempt or insult just flies right over his head. or worse, if they're being passive aggressive, kalim thinks they're talking about themselves so he ends up trying to comfort/reassure them instead so the other person just logs off for a lack of better response
Jamil
has to check kalim's account every single day for damage control
his account is initially very impersonal because he made it primarily to keep an eye on kalim, but over time he did start following other accounts that caught his personal interest
post-overblot, finally starts posting more personal content like dance clips and some of his basketball games
the only meals he made that he really posts are when he makes curry, bc he doesn't get to make it too often
pretty good at navigating through discourse bc he somehow knows more dirt on people than they expect him to know
Vil
used to get into a lot of internet fights back when he was younger because he'd play a villainous role too well and people would actually think he was genuinely an awful person
has since gotten a lot of media training, but he still never backs down when someone's picking a fight with him. he just learned how to respond in a way that leaves him in a better position to avoid getting cancelled
makes a lot of inspirational posts about self-validation, self-improvement, and confidence
any time he's asked to share what his workout routine, diet, or beauty routines are, he doesn't mind sharing but he always ensures to emphasise that this a routine that works for him specifically and should never be emulated perfectly because everyone has different lifestyles and body types that require different things
very selective about the trends he chooses to participate in bc not everything viral is good
Epel
probably only got a social media account after enrolling into nrc so he's not very well versed in a lot of social media etiquette
probably following the same fitness and botany/gardening accounts that jack is
falls for trolls a lot and deuce is constantly telling him to never listen to ace
gets rage-baited into a lot of arguments as a result. vil had to tell him to make use of the block feature bc if epel starts breaking out due to his increase in cortisol, vil was never gonna let him hear the end of it
has definitely fallen for a phishing/scam bot
Rook
the first three people he ever followed were neige, vil, and leona
was definitely the first one to ever actually follow leona's account and figure out it was his
mostly lurks but he's known for replying to people's posts in prose and gotten reported for this bc people thought he was a bot. especially because he didn't have a profile photo
doesn't actually post much about himself, but he will on occasion mention fun facts about animals and whatever he found beautiful that day. even that isn't a surplus of posts because he has a lot to say and there's too many beautiful things constantly happening that he'd miss out on if he stayed glued to his phone typing
has a private account where he's liked every single one of neige and vil's posts
Idia
follows every social media of the games and anime he's currently interested in. is always up to date with new launches and is known in to the community for posting banner predictions
lots of live posts whenever premo is airing
gets into discourse and drama all the time whenever because people keep mischaracterising his oshis and constantly rants about people's lack of reading comprehension and why this is the reason writers are too scared to write nuance anymore
actively avoids following people he knows in real life when possible because they don't need to know him like that
programmed a bot to notify him whenever official and fan merch of his oshis drop. has famously won auctions from people upselling a merch drop he missed out on
Ortho
has accidentally been in a bidding war with idia at one point bc he hadn't realised the person he'd been bidding against was his brother. the merch ortho was trying to get was ironically meant to be for idia
where idia actively avoids following people they know, ortho follows everyone and is always updated on everyone's accounts
constantly gets into arguments with people online if he ever sees any bad thing about idia. even if it's just someone venting on their private account. he's not afraid to threat doxxing or leaking damaging information
uses tone indicators
post book 6 he starts participating in trends more in hopes that it'll help him adapt to being a proper person much faster
Malleus
lilia made his account for him
malleus never remembers to check his replies on time so his responses are always extremely late
his profile photo is a selfie taken from the front camera in a low angle bc no one taught him about angles. he's fine though bc his jawline is good. lucky bastard
does not understand social media and takes everything at face value. he doesn't know how to read abbreviations. used them incorrectly irl and lilia very helpfully laughed for a full hour without explaining anything
he uses it like google and asks questions there instead
Lilia
forgot to follow malleus
follows a lot of traveler vlogs and cooking channels
his username is muscle red but idia didn't think that muscle red is the same person that he games with bc of the content of lilia's posts/people he follows so idia didn't follow him
posts a lot of videos they film in the pop music club. everyone who follows him knows they have to either lower the volume or start the video muted bc the only thing they'll hear is lilia's screamo
lives for the gender confusion and thinks it's hilarious when randos keep asking if he's a girl when they see his selfies/videos
Silver
lilia also made his account for him
very bad at replying because he often falls asleep mid-reply and forgets, or he's busy training
follows barista accounts to learn about different kinds of coffee to try. also follows cooking accounts to see if there's ways for him to salvage anything his dad makes
sometimes posts photos and videos of animals
doesn't get into discourse bc he always assumes he's offended someone somewhere and has already pre-emptively apologised. the other person is always extremely baffled.
Sebek
made an account bc he found out malleus had one. he's a baby at social media and is also easily rage-baited.
writes in perfect punctuation, capitalisation, and grammar! he's got excellent grades as expected of a knight of the great malleus draconia and he wants to ensure that everything he says is clear and concise. he can't look foolish, think of how that would reflect on his liege!
glazes malleus daily on main
in saying that he's not really online a lot bc he's busy training and trying to look after his liege but he subscribed to both malleus and lilia's profiles so he never misses anything they post
later on post book 7 he starts posting a bit more of his personal interests like books he really enjoys reading, some exercise regimes, and photos of his horse tempest
