Warnings: N/A

◞꒷◟ ͜ ͜ ◞ྀི◟୨୧◞ྀི◟ ͜ ͜ ◞꒷◟◞꒷◟ ͜ ͜ ◞ྀི◟୨୧◞ྀི◟ ͜ ͜ ◞꒷◟

• No, he does not taste like fish, Yes I know you've giggled about that at least once so I may as well knock it out of the way

• Considering he's been confirmed to smoke and it's safe to say he eats from the vending machines pretty consistently, he usually tastes like cigarettes and chips

• Occasionally, he may taste like other snack foods, namely: Chocolate, Peanuts, Hard Candy, and those weird prepackaged vanilla cookies

• At first he didn't want to kiss you at all, even when you two got your confessions out

• His mouth is so inhuman and sharp, with rows of shark-like teeth... It made him really nervous about kissing you for a long time

• What if seeing it up close made you not like him very much anymore? What if it just doesn't feel right to you? He'd rather avoid making you uncomfortable like that

• There's only so much defensive sarcasm and passive aggression can do for you, and it isn't gonna fix heartbreak

• Makes fun of you for even wanting to kiss him, have you SEEN him??

• Will accuse you of having a thing for fish 💀

• You're going to have to kiss him first, he isn't gonna pop that safety bubble himself

• That first time, his whole body locks up, breath held for the long moment it takes for him to process what's actually happening

• He relaxes slowly into actually kissing back, that familiar wall coming down

• After this, he'll start initiating them

• At first it's these stiff little pecks on the cheek and corner of your mouth, but he quickly gets a taste for you

• When he starts kissing you directly, he gets hungry for it, starting to sneak them in any time he can find

• The kisses get longer and slower and easier for him, humming into every one of them so affectionately

• He's needed the touch for years, so naturally he's going to have his hands on you the whole time. Yes, all three of them.

• Likes to pick you up, means you can't get away when he goes to tease you about wanting to kiss such a scary thing like him

• Absolutely gives you little snake kisses, his tongue flicks out at you a lot when he's giving you smaller kisses

• That mean ass mouth doesn't get any nicer, but at least you get kisses for putting up with it

• He's going to nip and nibble at you too, overall getting really comfortable with the mouth affection

• He does this all the time, too, and most enjoys bothering you while you're trying to work by sneaking up and biting your neck

• Seriously tho, how is he so quiet?? He's huge???

• Oops, hickeys! He's too pleased with leaving marks not to ❤️

[twst-hottest-takes]

I've seen plenty of hot takes, both on here and in the fandom at large, wishing that that they wish that Yuu wasn't there in the game and whatnot. I think the real issue that people actually are taking umbrage with is a lack of control and the player character's amount of presence in the story.

Yuu in the game is a player avatar that is supposed to represent you or your oc. They are also my go to example of how not to write a player insert character. They have almost no personality. Your dialogue options are super limited. Characters routinely ignore your input and pretend like you never said anything.

Worst of all, they have no impact in the plot. Sure, they get the characters to work together, but I feel like some of that would happen even if Yuu wasn't there thanks to people tending to work together in life and death circumstances. The only real instances where they were truly a main character was just in the Prologue, Book 3 and somewhat Book 4. Every other arc, you could take them out and it wouldn't make any difference.

There are even cases where Yuu is about to make a choice, but then other characters swoop in to steal their thunder. In Book 5, Yuu was about to stop Neige from drinking the poisoned apple juice, but then Rook and Kalim swooped in to do the same. It's just annoying.

Yes, a lot of this is due to it being a mobile title, but that's not an excuse. Plenty of other otomes like Obey Me are mobile games, too. None of them suffer from these issues, at least to this extent. It's simply bad writing to me.

TWST would've been a lot better if it was a role playing console game like Baldur's Gate 3. I honestly wish that was the case. Sure, there would be events that are set in stone like the Overblots, but you would be able to craft your own character and play in your own sandbox a lot better. Wanna kick Ace and Deuce to the curb after the prologue? You can do that. Wanna befriend some of the other characters or spend more time with ones like Malleus? You can do that, too. Wanna get a job at one of the locations across campus instead of being stuck as a janitor? You can do that. The possibilities are endless!

Instead you are locked into certain choices whether you like it or not. That's frustrating for a lot of players, myself included. I would make a lot of different choices than Yuu does in the game if given the opportunity like not befriending Ace and Deuce.

Someone mentioned this in a Reddit comment of all things that the game is just okay for what it is and suffers from a lot of writing issues, but it serves better as a sandbox to take the parts and come up with something more fleshed out and better yourself in fics. That sums up my thoughts on the game in general.

I think the lack of control and agency as the player character is why I tend to enjoy things like the light novel for official media and fanfic "retellings" more than the actual game itself. Those have actual main characters with a personality, agency, motivation and push the plot along like how a main character should.

^^^This right here.^^^

I love this animatic and find is fairly appropriate for this topic.

I have a draft in here somewhere talking about this exact subject, and maybe it'll get published one of these days but for now just know that the gist of it is exactly what you've said here: Yuu does nothing. Yuu can't make decisions. Yuu doesn't actually need to be there.

"Yuu" is (are) set up as a character that is supposed to be making waves at NRC by just being a normal decent person dragged into magic shenanigans. But after a certain point, you're right, the story doesn't bother to even give the MC anything to do. At best the MC is a victim of other people's plots, and the lack of agency makes it come across as less of a player insert than Yuu just being a camera that gives us a glimpse into the world of Twisted Wonderland instead of actually being there. You can see it reflected in the way events turn out too. There's about a one in three chance that you're going to get Yuu doing something relevant, but I swear the attempts are getting less and less common.

And, yes, it's one of the things that makes every other version of Twisted Wonderland so much more compelling than the main game (even the fan-made ones). A main character that actually has agency and makes the decisions that lead towards the ends of the story is way more interesting to follow than a supposed self-insert that goes anywhere the wind takes them.

Thank you for your take.

I also apologize in advance, because now you've inspired me to finish that essay and I know it's going to repeat a lot of these talking points, so similarities are inevitable. I will link back to this ask when it is posted!

Sebestian: Would you rather kill Player, or—

Angler: Yes, kill them.

Sebestian: I didn’t say the other thing—

Angler: I don’t need to hear it.

Player: …I’m feeling a little unsafe.

You died. You died and now falling.

Falling more than you used to. You just had to reset and thing will go back to normal. Everything will be normal.

Darkness all around your. You eyelid close as you breathe in. Wait, why does it feel more…There?

Your eye shot up, You look around the warm reddish leaf with a tint of purple, covering most of the sky contrasting orange ground.

Ground, you felt the ground. The air, it so cold. But it felt great, you were here, here, more than just a soul.

Your ‘heart’ quicken out of anticipation, you flap around your hand. Feeling the flimsy finger hitting each other, it hurt but you did it, there weren’t limit of this body. YOUR BODY

You can’t tell what you look like. But the first thing to do is to walk, right?

Never Would I Ever - Chapter 1

I am now trash for this game. Especially for Jones. I might make chapter 2 tomorrow. But idk yet. Anyway, i’m tired and need to go to bed for classes so enjoy this.

NOTE: Crimson Order was defeated, Chief King is still dead, and the player NEVER left Grimsborough! Takes place shortly after the last case there!

Never Would I Ever Chapter 1 -

Jones was feeling great! He didn’t have a case, it was a beautiful day, even more so since the Crimson Order was defeated, and he had cookies!

He was just on his way back to his desk, that just so happened to be next to yours but he stopped walking when he heard two people talking. One sounded to be Ramirez and the other was Officer Juliet Spencer.

Looking around the corner, he couldn’t help but overhear their conversation since he was curious.

“I’m so happy Grimsborough can finally be peaceful again with the Crimson Order gone!” Juliet sighed in relief.

“I know!” Ramirez replied, with a smile.

‘You can say that again.’ Jones thought to himself.

“It’s a good thing Jones didn’t succeed in killing (Y/N), huh?” Juliet asked.

‘Huh?’ Jones thought, completely confused.

“Yeah.” Ramirez nodded. “But don’t go around saying that to him.”

“He really doesn’t remember?” Juliet questioned and Ramirez shook his head. “Wow…yet poor (Y/N) does! I can’t imagine what it’ll be like to have your own partner turn his gun on you and come close to pulling the trigger.”

‘I never pulled my gun on (Y/N)…’ Jones thought to himself.

“But I was there.” Ramirez smiled. “With my trusty frying pan.”

“Yeah thank God for that!” Juliet nodded. “You saved their life!” “I’m surprised that (Y/N) didn’t seem all that scared.” Ramirez said. “But then again, maybe they were and they just hid their fear. Especially after the trial when Jones came up to us. We were so relieved when we realized he didn’t remember the interrogation room. Later on we agreed not to say anything about it.”

“So what does he think happened?” Juliet asked.

“I think he said something about falling down the stairs when they went to arrest Tess?” Ramirez said after thinking for a minute.

“I guess it’s a good thing he wasn’t at the trial. God knows what that psychopath would’ve tried to put into his head. Hell, she probably would’ve tried to hypnotize him again.” Juliet said.

“Yeah. We made sure she didn’t have a pendulum or anything on her after the interrogation room incident.” Ramirez replied. “Couldn’t risk something like that happening again.”

“How did (Y/N) react during the trial?” Juliet questioned.

“They kept pretty calm whenever Tess spoke. But I definitely noticed that they seemed bothered and maybe even angry when she mentioned Jones and how he would snap one day. Along with how they had to be careful when approaching him.” Ramirez said.

‘Snap? Why would I snap?’ Jones asked himself.

“It was just so creepy…” Ramirez continued. “Especially the smile she gave (Y/N) as she was led away afterwards.” Ramirez shuddered.

“Do you know why she went after (Y/N)? Or why she used Jones?” Juliet asked. “I know it was something about a…thesis.”

“I’m not sure why she went after (Y/N) the way that she did. But I think she wanted to show that everyone has a murderer inside them and gave those girls and Jones a little push to bring theirs out. Plus (Y/N) dying by their partner would’ve fulfilled her master plan.” Ramirez said. “But we agreed that not everyone is a murderer. Especially not Jones.” At that point, Jones had heard enough and headed back towards the case files room. He was going to look for the Rorschach case and find the truth out for himself.

Eventually he found the case and finished his cookies at the same time.

“It’s not true.” Jones muttered to himself. “I fell down the stairs…I didn’t try to kill (Y/N).”

Looking through the file, he scanned over to where it said all of Tess’ convictions. One of which stated that she manipulated a officer into killing his partner and as such, the attempted murder of a officer was a conviction too. But it didn’t state the name of the officers involved.

“That’s odd… it should say who it was… unless Chief King and… (Y/N) made it so it didn’t say…” Jones said, confused.

Getting the file back in order, he put it away where it was meant to be. He decided to go ask (Y/N) about the case and what really happened. After all, his partner of all people should tell him the truth.

Leaving the room, he headed to the bullpen and walked up to his and (Y/N)’s desks. Sitting in his chair, he rolled himself closer to you and tapped your arm to get your attention.

“(Y/N)?” Jones said.

“Hey, Jones.” You turned to him with a smile. “What’s up?”

“Can I ask you something?” Jones questioned.

“Of course.” You said, feeling a little confused.

“What happened during the end of the Rorschach case? I mean, what really happened to me?” Jones asked.

“You know what happened.” You said, now a little nervous. “You fell down the stairs and Ramirez helped me with Tess.”

“But I heard Ramirez and Juliet talking…they mentioned how I pulled my gun out of you.” You looked at him, shocked that he heard that. It seems he noticed your look, because he continued. “So I went and looked at the case and sure enough, Tess was convicted of a couple of things. Manipulating a officer was one along with attempted murder of another officer.”

“And…?” You asked.

“But it didn’t say who the officers were. Who were they, (Y/N)?”

“It doesn’t matter.” You said. “Both officers are fine. There’s nothing to worry about anymore.”

“They said that Tess said I would snap…you know I would never hurt you. Right?” Jones asked, looking down.

“Right.” You nodded.

“So why won’t you tell me?” Jones asked.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s in the past now, let’s move forward.” You replied.

“How can I after hearing that I almost killed you?” Jones shook his head and got up.

“Where are you going?” You asked, worried.

“For a walk…” Jones replied and walked away.

You felt bad but knew it was better if he didn’t know what happened. Especially the terror you felt when he pulled the gun out of you. You acted fine and not bothered by it but deep down, you were scared. Your entire life flashed before your eyes at that moment.

On the other hand, you were going to have to talk with Ramirez and Juliet about being careful where they talked about certain things that were meant to stay as a secret.

Once Jones was out of sight, you went back to doing your paperwork. Meanwhile, Jones went to see Alex and Cathy.

“Hey, guys!” Jones kind of barged inside.

“Hey, Jones.” Alex turned to him. “What’s up?”

“I need to ask you something.” Jones replied.

“What’s that?” Cathy asked.

“Did I try and shoot (Y/N)?” Jones said and the two others glanced at each other for a moment.

“No.” Alex lied. “Why?”

“I heard Ramirez and Juliet talking about it and read Tess’ convictions in her case file.” Jones replied. “Why won’t you guys tell me the truth? I’ve tried (Y/N) but they won’t tell me either.”

“It simply doesn’t matter, Jones.” Cathy replied. “The two officers involved are both alive and their normal selves.”

“So…why can’t I know what happened?” Jones then realized something and his eyes widened slightly. “Hey…you guys aren’t scared I’ll try and do something… right?”

“Like what?” Alex asked.

“Like try to kill (Y/N) again? That’s why you aren’t telling me what happened.” Jones asked.

“Jones, we know you would never hurt (Y/N). It was just… a hard day. Let’s just move on. Stop worrying about something that isn’t there.” Cathy said.

“I… alright.” Jones sighed, knowing he wasn’t going to get anywhere.

“Good.” Alex nodded.

“I’ll see you around… I guess” Jones said, before leaving. “See yah.” Alex said as Cathy waved.

“Why did those two talk about it in front of him?” Cathy asked, once Jones was out of earshot.

“I don’t know.” Alex shook his head. “We agreed not to mention it to him. Since he didn’t remember anyway. He really doesn‘t need to know what all Tess said and did that day or during trial for that matter.”

“Hopefully he’ll just forget about it.” Cathy said to him.

“I agree.” Alex responded.

Jones had left the couple alone and went back to the case filing room.

He was confused, hurt, and even angry. Why was no one telling him what had happened? He would never hurt his partner so why were they keeping it from him.

Jones does understand that it was probably a hard day to get through afterward but he still deserved to know the truth. He wasn’t going to snap or anything like Ramirez and Juliet said.

Find the case, he took it out again. He then went to where there were statements made by anyone, like a witness.

Looking through the papers, he did find a statement in familiar handwriting at the back of the file, almost hidden.

“What’s this?” Jones took it out and looked it over. “I definitely recognize this handwriting…and it seems to be a statement about what happened in the interrogation room too…”

Taking the file with him, he went to sit down at a table that was inside the room and began to read it over.
