Hot take but Felix x Kagami is harmful to both characters. Reasons?

It makes both of them a lot more bland and tbh it gives Felix the Adrien treatment but to a lesser degree.

The moments I found Kagami interesting were moments she was not with Felix like in the Tokyo movie.

And Felix has been butchered and tbh I would’ve preferred he teamed up with Lila atp or kept being a villain or atleast had a longer redemption arc.

And I hate how Kagami got over Adrien by being with Felix! Felix and Adrien look exactly the same and his interactions with Kagami that we’ve seen are him acting like Adrien!

Felix from Season 3 is entirely different from Felix now. Istg it’s like Adrien has TWO cousins that look exactly like him and are both called Felix.

Felix never properly apologized for his actions. “It wasn’t your fault” is such a stupid thing to say

FELIX DID NOT HAVE TO WIPE THE WHOLE WORLD WTF

IF HE WANTED THE THREE TO BE FREE HE COULD’VE JUST GOTTEN RID OF GABRIEL AND KAGAMI’S MOM PRIVATELY

Felix was a better antagonist than Chloe ever was but yet he got a much more poorly written redemption arc than her—and she didn’t even have hers completed—and I feel so offended on behalf of Chloe

I’m a hard Kagami x Luka, Felix x Lyla (platonically or otherwise) and Luka x Chloe shipper and I just felt like this doesn’t make sense????

Twst Au where these guys are just like museum statues and crap like that.

Like Yuu is a night guard working their summer job or something, cause their parent said it’ll be a good learning experience.

Crowley’s just the owner and head of the museum which he Omninously hints is filled with magical history. And cause he likes cheap labour, he’s hiring only one teenage night guard, gave them a few weapons and the keys, before leaving.

Yuu just confused as heck and shrugs. They go around the museum, doing their nightly duties, and each floor is a different dorm, representing one of the 7 kingdoms that history loves the most, sometimes, other, minor (special event characters) kingdoms/ areas/ historical figures are on the same floor with them. As they go to each floor, they meet the statues that can somehow come to life, everytime their key (there are like 10 keys) is in their display case or something.

At the ground floor is just Grim, chilling. Yuu thinks that their pose is a bit wonky and uses a key to open his case, causing him to start lighting things on fire and as Yuu picks a place to hide, they go upstairs to Heartslaybul’s floor to hide.

Grim’s looking for them to allow him to be free so he can rule the world. Yuu decides to hide behind the tall figure inside a display case, so they open it, only for all of the five figures to just start moving.

Riddle saves Yuu, they all explain everything and BAMM! That’s the prelude.

Special events happen when one of the main antagonists want to take over the world, cause someone keeps unlocking their display cases (Yuu swears that it’s not them).

Yuu also kinda feels guilty for the statues, so they kinda help them with errands. Like, Trey requesting for fresh ingredients in the staff room so he can continue baking, or helping Idia buy merch outside the museum, etcetera.

Yuu kinda doesn’t want to tell anyone, since they’d think they are crazy (the magic keeping the statues ‘alive’ somehow messes with the security cameras, any damage they have caused in the museum and other people’s memories, so even if someone DID see them move, it’ll only last until sunrise).

Jamil: I owe you a 300,000 worded essay on why he's the best, and I'd better get an agreement for each paragraph.

Vil: You love breaking gender norms and you hardly ever flop. You make long winded essays on character designs or "Ooh, shiny". No in-between. Also, you memorized his last name.

Rook: You kinda freaky and into yanderes. I'm into yanderes, but I hate this dude, so idk. I'd definitely say "I know what you are" to you, and you'd be thinking "She thinks I'm gay/bi/queer" and I'd be thinking "They're a serial killer".

Epel: You love the "Innocent girl who's a spawn of satan" and probably are one, yourself.

Trien: VALID. YOU WANT A GRANDFATHER IN YOUR LIFE, RN.

Rielle: I...-- Is that even a character, dude?

Neige: You're the minority. Congrats. (Also, you are so confused abt the hate Neige receives)

Gidel: You think he's the cutest character in Disney. No one can/wants to change your mind.

Skully: You convinced him to skip the mandatory, "Twisted Wonderland is NOT an otome game".

Dilia (Deuce's Mom): You're one of those people that Captain Man from Henry Danger was inspired from.

Marja (Epel’s granmama. Thx, https://www.tumblr.com/gremlinvapor): As a Marja lover, you love your grandmother and love hearing stories about her! And your grandma is low key a badass.

SCARABIA STUDENT B: W...who... who are you? Waiting until the ending for this guy. ... Idek what to say, honestly...

Mickey Mouse (Thx, https://www.tumblr.com/gremlinvapor): I’m the Donald to your Mickey. And you are probably so popular. Oh, you are also a cheap stake who fakes to like change, but actually despises it. You only like twst to be ‘woke’, but you don’t even like the characters or talk abt them.

(THIS WAS A JOKE. IF YOU ACTUALLY RELATE TO THESE RANDOM THOUGHTS I TYPED, THEN WOW I AM SHOCKED. Seriously, Idc who's your favorite, and I was not trying to discriminate or anything.

I tried to include all characters I could think of atm, but you are free to request more and I'll shove them in! These aren't even my opinions, I'm just tryna be entertaining.

If you'd like, guess my favorite(s)!

If I misspelt some characters names, I'm sorry and please politely correct me, thank you.)

What My Yuu Would Name TWST Characters On Her Phone

RAMSHACKLE

PREFECT

(Prefect) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. (Housewarden) : She was starting to feel jealous about the other freshmen bragging about their Housewardens. (Would Kill Me🔪) : She’s heard her and Jade’s conversations. She knows the Prefect could kill a person. (Killer Housewarden) : Eh. She got jealous again.

ARCHIE

(Archtaurus Proxima) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. (🧑‍🎤💜Proxima🖤👩‍🎤) : She was a fan of Lolirock, what can she say? (💫✨Archie✴️🌟) : She’s getting used to him. (🍍My Darling Pineapple Fish 🐠 ) : The only time she’s ever listened to Floyd. They pout everytime they see it but she lets them put Shrimpy as her contact name on their phone.

ROLLO

(Flaming Uglyyyyyy) : Indicolite thinks he’s attractive but he just doesn’t bring up good memories within her tbh. It’s not even solely about the destroying magic thing (that would’ve also killed Archie so it kinda is) but he just reminds her of her religious parents. (Rollo Flamme) : Ace snitched and she had to change it to keep peace. (🥐Dropped Croissant🥐) : Immediately after. (🔥Rollo🔥) : She begrudgingly respects him a lot more. Ace likes the previous one better so he changes it whenever he can in front of her and she laughs before usually changing it back pretty quickly.

FELLOW

(ICKKKKKK) : Indicolite respects the grind but damn. (Gramps) : He probably stole something from Crowley and earned her respect. (😑Grunc Ernesto🙄) : Actually starts liking?? him. Grunc= Grandpa+Unc. Operating with a hc that Ernesto is one of his fake names that he told Crowley.

GIDEL

(Gidel) : He’s a cute kid. Reminds her of her younger brother but a lot more quiet so she likes him better/jk. (The Child) : Sort of to match with Fellow at the time. (💖Gidel Dear💖) : Obviously not in a romantic sense. Sometimes she likes calling him Dear cause he’s important to her. She teaches him how to write and read when she’s studying and sometimes the first years help too (Ace and Grim excluded cause they are too smug. Surprisingly Sebek is strict but kind and incredibly proud when Gidel does get things right).

SKULLY

(Cutie💘) : Indicolite thinks he was relatively nice. Until he turned her into a pumpkin, but he handled her carefully and Archie turned her back soon enough so she’s not that offended (be nice to her on her first interaction and it will be hard to change her opinion of you ie Rollo with almost killing Archie). Also he lets her wear that crown thing on his head sometimes. They are very good friends too as she likes hearing him talk and vice versa. (Not All That) : Ace wanted to be called Cutie. Stayed for like a few good hours until she texted Skully to get a snack from the fridge in Ramshackle for her and Ace came with a tart. (Cutie💘) : After a good ass whopping, Ace never dared to do anything on her phone without asking again.

HEARTSLAYBUL

ACE

(Ace Trappola🙄) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. Plus he made a horrible first impression. (Ace Attorney) : Always arguing with her smh. (🃏Favorite Clown🃏) : She knows that there is a clown emoji but she didn’t want to put it. Plus he’s from Heartslaybul so card. (Baby /insultingly) : After relationship status was confirmed. He hates it, but then she pouts as drawls the “Baby” and he gets all flustered and defensive and the argument changes subject entirely. (Cutie💘) : He just wanted to feel special 😔 (he’s never going to admit that though). (🥀Mon Coeur🃏) : He asked what that means and she lied saying it was her native language for huge idiot. He researched it and saw it meant heart but he thinks he’s sly by not telling her so that she won’t change it because he genuinely thinks that she doesn’t know.

DEUCE

(Deuce Spade ♠️) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. (🐣Egg Warrior🐣) : Thinks he’s cute enough for a cute nickname. (💟Sweetheart✨💙) : She accidentally let this slip when they were still friends (with crushes on each other) and she was a bit flustered but he immediately ran away. He later told her that he was just really flustered and she thought it was cute. She occasionally changes the heart emoji’s when she feels like it. (Baby /affectionately💙) : Deuce was really flustered about it at first and tried making that her contact name, too but it felt too scandalous (his mom was like “OOOHHHH WHO IS THISSSS???”). Makes fun of Ace for his own nickname. Used in every argument these two have about Indi’s favorite (they are two centimeters from kissing btw). (🌼Columbine🪻) : Funny story, actually! She thought September Roses were blue so she wanted to call him that but Rook told her that was not the case. She researched it and he was right so she went looking for blue roses, but those are artificial and she didn’t just want to call him Blue Rose, so she looked for Blue Flowers and found a gorgeous one named Columbine. Sometimes she calls him that to his face while performing romantic gestures.

RIDDLE

(Housewarden Riddle Rosehearts) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. (Riddle Rose 🌹 ) : The last one was a mouthful. Plus, she’s started warming up to the cutie. (Puzzle Daisystar) : Ace dared her to. (🌹Riddle Rose 🌹 ) : The day after. The name before was funny but she’s sure Riddle would not appreciate that.

TREY

(Trey Clover) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. (Baker’s Dozen) : She thinks she’s hilarious. (Dentist) : “STOP LOOKING AT MY TEETH LIKE THAT!!” (Baker’s Dozen) : Eh, it was better tbh.

CATER

(Cater Diamond) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. (♦️Cay-Cay♦️) : Eh. Why not? (💍DIAMOND TWIN💎) : He grew on her. “YOUR DAD’S AN ACCOUNTANT?! MINE TOOO!!!” “OMG TWINNNNNNN!!” They definitely have a lot deeper things in common but it’s neither of their nature to dwell on that.

SAVANACLAW

JACK

(Jack Howl) : Indicolite was NOT planning on staying long. (🏋️🏋️‍♀️DO YOU EVEN LIFTTTT💪🏋️) : Specifically post book 2. Jack does not get the joke, but he gets the smile she has when she sees it. (🌕Moonboy🌑) : He sort of reminds her of the moon. She just “gets this vibe”. (Indi got a curse to random turn into a wolf beastman by a star, so I think she just associates wolf beast men with the night sky)

RUGGIE

(Ruggie Bucchi) : That’s his name, yes? (🦝Doughs Not Steal🍩) : Ruggie approved! Except the raccoon emoji.

LEONA

(Leona Kingscholar) : That’s his name, yes? (🦁Who Is The King of The Jungle?🦁) : Also Ruggie approved!

OCTAVINELLE

FLOYD

(Floyd) : That’s his name, yes? (Dumbass) : Hates him. (Fish stick) : Wants to give him a taste of his own medicine but unmotivated to actually look up fish names.

JADE

(Jade Leech) : That’s his name, yes? (Would Hide The Body) : She heard that conversation. No matter how much Jade tries to gaslight her. (Killer Housewarden’s Boyfriend) : 100% convinced that they are secretly dating. They aren’t but they might as well be.

AZUL

(Azul Ashengrotto) : That’s his name, yes? (Boss) : She works at the Monstro Lounge sometimes. She’s gotta earn money outside of the allowance Crowley gives her. (🐙4 Eyes + 8 Legs🐙) : They both have atleast some respect for the other. They need each other to beat Idia in Boardgame Club, of course. Plus it’s fun beating the other. And they are sort of maybe kind of friends now? Both are too egotistical/nervous to ask, but if Azul doesn’t attend her graduation then he’s probably dead.

SCARABIA

JAMIL

(❤️❤️❤️JAMILLL) : Indicolite was a huge fan. (Jamil) : Post book 4. She doesn’t hate him or Kalim. She gets it. And she also suspected it really early on and she never really trusted him despite the crush she had on him. She just really wanted to distract herself from the harsh cruel reality of this all being real. She still sort of is obsessed but she doesn’t seem like her heart is into it anymore. Like she wants to stop but she can’t. (🐍Curry Masssster) : Post book 5. They are not on AMAZING terms, but they aren’t on horrible ones either. Jamil starts acting like a mom friend to her and she acts like an older sister to Kalim to give Jamil some time off (he needs it), so they are kind of close.

KALIM

(Kalim) : He seemed nice. Why not? (🫅🏽PRINCE ALI🫅🏽) : He grew a lot on her. They are pretty close.

POMEFIORE

EPEL

(Epel) : He’s in the same class as her plus he was living with her at the time. And he kind of annoyed her. (🍎Applejack🐎) : Almost dying? Check! Also a first year? Check! That’s practically a best friendship bracelet! Bring it in!

ROOK

(Rook Hunt) : That’s his name, isn’t it? (Rook) : I don’t think she’d remember to change it again. Plus he doesn’t contact her enough to care.

VIL

(Housewarden Schoenheit) : Mad respect for him. (🌃Vil🌌) : Still got respect but him but a lot less fear.

IGHNIHYDE

ORTHO

(Ortho Shroud) : That is his name, isn’t it? (Orthocorrect) : They become pretty good friends.

IDIA

(lida Shroud) : Indi SWEARS she didn’t know that wasn’t how his name was spelt. (🧯Boss Fight🔥) : She warms up to him (he pays her for going on errands with him).

DIASOMNIA

SEBEK

(Sebek Zigvolt) : That’s his name, yes? (Zig and Sharko) : He’s sort of fun to ragebait. (⚡️Lighting Rod⚡️) : Post Book 7. She gains mad respect for him, actually.

SILVER

(Silver) : He doesn’t contact her enough to change his name.

LILIA

(Lilia Vanrouge) : That’s his name isn’t it? (Draculura) : She thinks the name is perfect.

MALLEUS

(🖤Mal❇️) : It’s a lot further into the story that she gets his number and she considers him to be a good friend so the name seems accurate. Sebek would die.

[winterillustrates]

I get this anxiety from engaging with people online from my country cause it’s very conservative and I’m a lot more open minded and a lot of the time, their blogs lack the joy and whimsy and unbridled cringe I have and I always feel embarrassed 😞

[winterillustrates]

TWST X EPIC part 2

RIDDLE (my darling) AS ATHENA (my og darling)

Did not do him justice, sadly.

😭😭😭. i love him but I really can’t get his face right.

That corner was their Warrior of The Mind moment after Riddle showed himself. Yuu is very tall. Supposed to be taller than Jamil, too.

I just love Riddle as Athena. They undergo a very similar arc and they would probably relate with each other a bit.

[winterillustrates]

TWST X EPIC MY BELOVED

Okay, so me and my sis were just talking then Epic the musical came up and crap, then I wanted to draw Hermes, but I’m in creative, so I said I’ll draw Rook Hunt (🤮🤮🤮🤮) as Hermes, cause they SORT OF remind me of each other (except for the fact that Hermes is just🫦🫦💋💋💋), so…

MY TWST X EPIC AU WAS BORNE

Idk, Rook Hunt fans should tell me if I failed, idc much, really.

I think having him being the god of travel is interesting since I remember him saying his family travelled a lot? Or was it that they owned a traveling agency?? Idk.

But, I also liked the fact that he’s the god of languages, too, cause Rook Hunt is Atleast speaking a lot of french and is one of the few characters known to diverge from the normal language everyone is familiar with.

Then we have his great-grandkid who’s trying to spite the god’s for keeping her away from her lovely husband.

She’s a Yuu, loosely based off of Little Red Riding Hood, an idea I had a while back. She wasn’t in any actual relationship but her most important relationship was her rivalry with Rook and how much she hates him, which I find funny now that I’ve made them related.

She’s the only woman in her crew, so ofc she has to be the captain (/jk).

But…since her crew can be dumbasses (killing sheep, opening mysterious bags) she takes all the responsibility on herself.

I’d say in the beginning, she was willing to die for her crew, but around the song sung by the prophet from the Underworld, she kinda gains a more ruthless approach.

In Suffering, when the Siren (Jade faking to be Jamil) is faking to be her husband, just a glimpse of Jamil (no matter how poorly imitated) was enough to remind her who she was actually fighting for.

In Love in Paradise with Malleus, she feels sympathetic towards Malleus, but not enough to reciprocate or pretend to reciprocate his feelings.

I feel she just has a more calculative expression than Odysseus, making her look a bit colder than she feels.

She was born into royalty and Jamil was a guard. Yuu fell first and hard, while Jamil fell second and harder. Jamil currently rules as the King Consort, refusing to be crowned as the actual King of Ithaca, because he is sure his wife is coming back soon.

I’m unsure of other’s roles in Epic, though. I’m open to Riddle being Athena, since they both have similar personalities and character arcs. Vil strikes me as a Circe, because I can see Vil trying hard to protect people that follow him and are under his care. Crowley is Zeus. Thinking Crewel is Hera?? (Non romantic) Would LOVE Deuce/Ortho as Polites. Maybe Jack/Sebek as Telemachus?? And Carter as Apollo cause they’re both pretty boys.

Idk, if you can, share your thoughts!

[winterillustrates]

Lilia is so Draculura core that I love him by extension. G1 and G3 Dracularas slayed, imo.

Quick sketch of him!

He’s a cutie, okay?!

LOVED his sleepwear—what was that? As much as Jamil’s or Idia’s? Don’t get crazy, now. Lowkey expected Lilia to be ALOT more crazy, ngl. Like Y2K aesthetic or maybe a onesie, but a hoodie and some shorts is okay (not really, no)??? Really disappointed me, but Lilia slays in anything, so I still love it.

Adding him, my ghost Yuu and… *GASP* ACE?! ON MY BLOG?!

Ofc he’s being a little shit as usual. 😔😔

I wanted it to be like a hoodie haver sleepover or something! They are all wearing hoodies, ofc. My Yuusona uses those satin bonnets she got from Vil, cause she likes feeling fancy, sometimes.

Prefect: We do this sleepover as long as we don’t invite Floyd.

Lilia: Won’t it be more fun if Floyd came?

Ace, knowing Prefect lowkey hates Floyd and avoids him as much as possible: No, not really.
