The issue many twst fans have is that they flanderize the characters. I have seen way too many people say some bs like ''omg! sebek is sooo loud hes ALWAYS sooooo loud and yelling and loud and loud!! Oh, and ruggie is like soooo broke hes probably always thinking about how to get away with stealing like omg....!''
The blessing has landed on… @vampireaxel !! We would like to wish Axel a happy late birthday, as well as to apologize for the delay !!

so basically during Ruggie’s bday and yk the whole showcases and allat I had decided to use the free 10 keys thing it gives for the daily log ins and I got TWO Ruggie Cozy Clothes on that single 10 pull (mind u, it was my first 10 pull on that showcase), and then I finished the bday missions so I had two 10 pulls on that gacha and I was able to get the bday jacket Ruggie.
Btw Ruggie is my crush’s fav character in twst so I just stared at my screen thinking if this was some sign from the gods above or if I’m just being delulu af and those pulls r just luck.
A/N: These are my personal thoughts and Headcanons. You don’t have to agree with me. The original alphabet is here.
A - Affection = (how affectionate are they? how do they show affection?)
Hyenas are very physically affectionate creatures. Ruggie likes holding hands and pressing his cheek against you. He doesn't say 'I love you' very often. But he's great at expressing it! His hands are his best tool. Of course he puts them to great work.
B - Best Friend = (what would they be like as a best friend? how would the friendship start?)
He made sure that he would be the one to monopolize all of your attention! Ace and Deuce are squares, you need to kick it with someone like him instead! He doesn't mind sharing snacks with you, he helps you when you're in trouble, and he never charges for such services! Who else in your life is as helpful as he is?
C - Cuddles = (do they like to cuddle? how would they cuddle?)
Ruggie doesn't want to admit that he likes it. He enjoys it a lot. Skinship is important to him. When you play with his hair or gently pet his ears. Even falling asleep together feels perfect to him. Being shoulder to shoulder or pressing his leg against yours.
D = Domestic = (do they want to settle down? how are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Ruggie is a cleaning magnet. His personal space needs to be clean at all times. Whether you like it or not things will be dusted and organized to immaculacy. He's also a great cook. He's mastered struggle meals and can cook just about anything! And living together saves on rent and housing. And who is he to deny sharing a bath together to save on water?
E - Ending = (if they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
Ruggie purposefully would make you upset. He sees it like ripping off a bandaid. And he doesn't want to risk rebounding back to you. He knows he will if he doesn't make you hate him. He's content with being the villain. The ex without a name that you cry about to friends. He would yell at you, tell you how it's your fault nothing was working before turning his back on you. He's not hearing you out because if you see him cry that would fuck up his plan. Just hate him forever, it makes his life easier.
F - Fiancé(e) = (how do they feel about commitment? how quick would they want to get married?)
He would like to if he could afford it. Marriage is expensive but there's nothing wrong with domestic partnership. You can be together forever without having all the legal stuff in the way. Ruggie wouldn't jump on the opportunity to get married. He knows his life is harder than everyone you've met at Night Raven College. And in his eyes, it can be selfish to drag someone into the slums. He wants a more stable life for him and his Grammy. Then he'll think about rings on fingers.
G - Gentle = (how gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
He believes in Tough Love. He can't sugar coat everything for you! He does compromise where he can. And he does remind you that even if he's rough around the edges he does love you. Physically he never touches you too rough. Sometimes he'll squeeze you a little, like when holding your hand. But that's about it.
H - Hugs = (do they like hugs? how often do they do it? what are their hugs like?)
He loves physical touch as a form of comfort. Ruggie dislikes anything that can be seen as weakness in front of others. So he hugs you a lot when the two of you are alone. He rubs your back and gives you a firm squeeze. You can almost feel his heartbeat through his shirt.
I - I Love You = (how fast do they say the L-word?)
He says it under his breath and quietly. He's better with actions than words. But he says it when he texts you good morning. He tells you I love you when you both head to bed. Once you start dating he gets more comfortable with saying it. The only person he's told I Love You to is his Grammy. So you're pretty special!
J - Jealousy = (how jealous do they get? what do they do when they're jealous?)
His jealousy stems from insecurity. But Ruggie does have a mean streak. As a hyena, you wouldn't expect him to be so territorial over you. But he rubs his face on you and sticks close to your side when he feels jealous. He's not the tallest, or buffest, and he doesn't really have much for cash. And sometimes that bothers him. But giving you up to someone else? Over his dead body.
K - Kisses = (what are their kisses like? where do they like to kiss you? where do they like to be kissed?)
Usually quick pecks are the kisses you get. He aims for your cheek or your forehead or your temple. Somewhere he can reach before darting off. Or so fast you don't process it until later.
Ruggie loves being kissed on the head. When you kiss his forehead by moving his bangs, he thinks about it all day. Sometimes he pins them up on purpose to give you a better view of the target.
L - Little Ones = (how are they around children?)
Ruggie constantly makes it seem like he doesn't care about this or that. And that he's the most selfish guy on the planet. But that's not true. Ruggie adores kids. They're cute and kind and he wants to do the best he can for all of them. He's the first person they run to, and he always has snacks to give. Because Ruggie didn't grow up with a dad, he wants to be one someday. But for now, he's happy with the kids in his neighborhood hanging off of his arms.
M - Morning = (how are mornings spent with them?)
Ruggie is usually the one who gets up before you. Sometimes you wake up before him and notice he's fallen asleep with his bank book against his chest, covered by his hands. He starts every day by washing his face. He tries not to wake you up unless something important is going on that involves you joining him in brushing your teeth.
N - Night = (how are nights spent with them?)
He spends night time winding down from the daily hustle. He has a hard time truly relaxing. Since he works all day he does bits of housekeeping at night. Bills, tidying up, folding the last bit of laundry for the day and putting it away. He's just wearing himself out so he can sleep without worry.
O - Open = (when would they start revealing things about themselves? do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
Ruggie is very emotionally closed off. He grew up as the man in his house and yes he has his Grammy to help him be comfortable with crying. But Ruggie also has bills, work, and other shit to worry about. Being sad isn't going to make him any money.
It can feel like there's a wall between you and Ruggie. But he is going through something. And he's never been in a situation to open up with anyone other than his Grammy. You just have to be patient with him.
P - Patience = (how easily angered are they?)
Ruggie is pretty non-confrontational. He doesn't let things get to his head because there are much bigger fish to fry. Always. He's great at finding solutions to problems and easing tension. Him getting mad would mean something is truly wrong. Ruggie never gets mad.
Q - Quizzes = (how much would they remember about you? do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
Ruggie has great memory when it comes to someone he's courting and trying to impress. He learned all of your favorite things from the flavor of gum you chew most down to the color of socks you like. He wouldn't remember every minute detail. But he's great with words. Whatever he forgot, he can subtly get out of you by asking the right questions.
R - Remember = (what is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
Ruggie's favorite moment would be the first time you shared some of your food with him. He isn't someone who trusts easily. But when you share food with him for the first time it feels very special to him. Reminding him that other people take him into consideration. Even if they have no blood relation to him. He still thinks about the taste.
S - Security = (how protective are they? how would they protect you? how would they like to be protected?)
Ruggie jokingly says he'll leave you hanging unless you give him cash incentive. But he always shows up when you need him most. He will always stand in front of you if the situation seems tense. He'll nudge you behind his back. He's great at talking himself out of situations but if things go south, that's okay! He knows how to fight.
When protecting Ruggie, he likes when you stand up for him. He doesn't need you to but the thought is appreciated. Ruggie has low self esteem and sometimes self deprecates. He can speak for himself but it's nice to have someone who cares say something on his behalf.
T - Try = (how much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
Ruggie has been broke his entire life. So, he has become skilled in the art of 'making things work'. He does pick cheaper options but he makes it fun and memorable so you won't even think about the money spent. Even gifts come with something handmade that can't be found elsewhere. In Ruggie's eyes; a date can be whatever you want. Even if it's hanging in his room with a thrifted star projector and talking in his bed.
U - Ugly = (what would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Ruggie does have a bad case of sticky fingers when you aren't around. It may come as a surprise but he never commits petty theft. Just in cases where he needs to get by or he can't afford to spend on necessities. Sure he brings home groceries with a smile. But there's a reason why he hides the receipt from you. Not so you won't worry about how much he spent. But because he doesn't want you to know what he stole.
V - Vanity = (how concerned are they with their looks?)
Ruggie does shower and wash his face. He has to. But when it comes to skin care he uses whatever he has lying around. He doesn't want to spend his money on luxury items that don't matter. He gets every last drop from samples and using eyeshadow down to the pan. But honestly, as long as you tell him he looks good he's down with whatever.
W - Whole = (would they feel incomplete without you?)
He was born in this world without you, and he will die without you. At least that's what he tells himself. Ruggie never wants to admit his feelings and how intense they are. But he is very grateful to have met you when he did. He can't imagine being without you.
X - Xtra = (a random headcanon for them)
Ruggie was scared to show you his home. He doesn't let anyone come over to his place. He's a little embarrassed about it and he assumes you're used to nicer lifestyles. Even though his Grammy pesters him and asks about you all the time, it takes a long while into your relationship before he feels ready for you to come over. He doesn't have much. Don't comment on it. This is very hard for him.
Y - Yuck = (what are some things they wouldn't like, either in general or in a partner?)
Someone who spends money frivolously. Ruggie takes anything involving cash very seriously. He grew up with nothing. And having a partner who spends their money without care does make him uncomfortable. It tells him mentally that they don't know the worth of a dollar. And that they don't know the first thing about budgeting. In Ruggie's eyes; he needs someone who's responsible with their cash.
Z - Zzz = (what's a sleep habit(s) of theirs?)
Ruggie HAS to sleep on the side closest to the door. He gets up early for most of his jobs, and his circadian rhythm still makes him an early riser even on his days off. He doesn't really toss and turn, but he does snore. Good luck.
