[r-aindr0p]

Scarabia lil squishies today hehee They have drip ngl, very cool dorm uniforms and the pants look comfy

[pointy-spiral]

Hello! I hope you still take requests, if not I'm so sorry to brother you!!!

Anyways! I would love to see more of your yuusona, I think they are so cute 🥰.

And please tell us more about them :D

JKDLSJIIOAUEIOWUIOJKFLDJKFDL THANK YOUU!! :') not a bother at all!! This is such cute and sweet request!! u lil cutiee!!

i haven't really thought out much about her yet, and shes not really based on any specific Disney character, but i have some fun facts about her-

Her shirt is the same style as Epel's, because its a spare pomefiore shirt that Rook gave her during her first week at school. She's really scared of him though. Her first encounter with him was him commenting on her messy uniform, (since i doubt that Crowley would do much more than just grab whatever's in the lost and found basket for Yuu and call it a day) Rook basically drags her to Pomefiore to play dress up while she tries desperately to find some excuse to leave jkhfdfdshhsd

She wishes she could have just kept the job as a janitor instead of being a student at first (but she comes to like school starting the second year) since she enjoys cleaning and tidying and just going for walks, so being an errand runner for Crowley didnt seem too bad to her.

Because of this i wanted to make Floyds nickname for her "Vampire squiddy", since they feed on marine snow and are generally one of the "cleaners" of the deep sea. They live really deep in the sea, matching her gloominess and dislike for crowds and bright light. BUT THEN I REALIZE THAT LILLA CALLED DIBS ON BEING VAMPIRE SQUID so now i don't know anymore... i guess shrimpy still works..

Ever since accidentally stepping on Leonas tail she's been avoiding him like the plague. She thinks he's still mad at her, and nearly cries anytime she sees him dshdhdhdfhj she thinks he's super scary

The skirt she actually sewed by hand herself , using a spare curtain from Ramshackle as fabric.

Back in her "home world" she used to collect and make her own jewelry, the one she wears is one of them. She makes friendship bracelets for her friends of course.

She's good friends with Ortho, and they are desk neighbors. He's tried multiple times to invite her over for game night but she's too scared to hang out with Idia around. But her an Ortho hang out and study together a lot :) he's the designated extrovert friend

She became friends with Jade by being forced to wanting to join the Mountain lovers club. Its actually pretty good, since its a long walk and she can forage for stuff to eat so she can save more money (Crowley pays us in a handfull of pebbles and a pat on the back i swear to god) He's the social anxiety shield and talks for her sometimes.

She still kind of works as a janitor, and she stays after school hours to clean. And uses her job as an excuse to stay away from people, too much to clean!! so many floors to mop!! no i cannot come to ur party Kalim i am so so sorry!! would love too but i have to deep clean the school, by myself, all alone!! tomorrow as well! and the day after!! fdhdfshdshj

Has absolutely bonked Ace in the head with her broom!! he deserves it

Azul tries at some point to get her to be a janitor at Mostro lounge but she runs away from him mid conversation

Secretly very insecure about her height, thinking shes too tall for a lady, plus it just makes her stick out more as well

(actually as im writing this i realize she could be based on Cinderella in a way!!! with the whole evil stepmom (crowley) making you do a bunch of shitty work. im getting ideas.. >:) teehee gonna redraw the ball dance and glass slipper scene with her and someone maybe mwehehehehe)

How do you feel about the release so far? Did live up to your expectations?

I'm really really amazed with the localization! The presentation (font, font styles) is beautiful, and you can tell that there's love poured into the writing. I'm currently buzzing with energy at 1am because of how fun this localization has been.

There are a lot of things I can say about the translation.

Starting with gameplay translations, first I love how they translated the grass/tree element to flora! It's a smart reference to Flora from Sleeping Beauty, and it's such a beautiful word. I also love that they use cosmic for void. It sounds so much more magical.

Groovification is rather interesting. Personally, I don't see a real reason to change it, but I guess they wanted to add a much fancier term for it.

I never thought I would actually see the word phial be used until I saw the translation for the small blooming honey. They're really testing out people's vocabulary knowledge, huh? 😂 They also used secret smorgasbords for the bigger snacks for leveling up episode– oh I'm sorry, vignette levels, and I think that's so cute.

Speaking of which, vignette is probably one of the few words that I never actually heard of from this game. I really like that they used such a big word for this. It's also so pretty. 😭

Thaumarks may sound weird, but honestly, it's so much prettier than madols. I still love my magic dollars, but thaumarks is such a smart decision. It's a combination of thaum, which is a measure of magic (and then there's the word thaumaturgy, which is the practice of performing magic) and marks, a currency in Europe (old or current, I'm not entirely sure). It's also a really good way to make us feel that we are truly in a foreign country. Madols works for the JP version because Japanese people aren't used to dollars, but for people in the US and Canada (and in many other parts of the world), dollars is their currency, so they had to change it up. Adding a deep English word also helps.

Personally, them changing ATK to POW for the stats is weird, but I understand that they don't want to confuse it with the card type Attack. This is probably one of the few localized terms that I'll choose to ignore.

Okay, gameplay terms that struck me out of the way, I want to talk about the story translations.

Firstly, the way they translated Crowley's infamous "watashi yasashii no de" line. I am honestly so happy at the different translations they gave for him. From kind to magnanimous, the team really had fun with changing it up. And honestly, it makes the language feel more natural and fluid. I enjoy it.

Grim's whole "Great Grim" schtick also gets changed up! Extraordinaire (my personal favorite), genius... it's just so so good. It adds so much character to him.

I'm a bit bummed that they stuck with headmage. It's not bad, but when there is already headmaster, you just want to ask why they had to make a new word for it.

Then to the other more infamous localized term, housewarden has grown on me throughout the month, so I don't mind it as much now. Interestingly enough, Azul says dorm leader in the prologue, and I nearly wanted to kiss him for it. I genuinely hope they don't edit it. I was thinking maybe it's a thing that some people prefer housewarden, particularly those who prefer tradition, but others want to go with something else like dorm leader. Funnily enough, Kalim's R school uniform story shows him saying housewarden as well.

I absolutely adore Rook's nickname translations. Monsieur Dent-de-Lion for Ruggie and Monsieur Spontané for Floyd are the ones I know so far, but the way they're spelled, they have that spirit of Rook that I always felt the fan translations of his nicknames lacked. It makes me so happy.

Now the most fun part: the gen z slang. This game has managed to put in such high-end vocabulary and uwu speak in this fucking game. One of Idia's robe lines has him saying hewwo. I'm not kidding.

And don't get me started on Floyd. He has said YEAH BOIII in his basketball R card while slam dunking a basketball and YEET in his robe story.

And don't even get me started on Cater. This man???? I can't count the amount of iconic lines he has because he has so many???? He even goes "Click "Share on my awesomeness." in his battle start line, can you believe this guy? I have a feeling Disney was absolutely high doing Cater's dialogue, and they did it so fucking well.

You can really see how much love and care they poured into this translation. It feels so relatable and yet they don't fail to add in high-end words. I'm so glad that they put this much effort into the localization, and I hope that it gets better from here on out.

All of my other TWST HCs

Because my Twisted Wonderland Headcanons have been my most popular posts, here I am giving the mob what they want! An almost complete list of Headcanons I have about every character and house!

This is by far my longest post and it took me three days to type, so I hope you guys get a laugh out of it!

WARNING: THESE ARE MY PERSONAL OPINIONS ABOUT EACH CHARACTER. IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITH ONE, PLEASE DON’T ATTACK ME OR OTHERS WHO SUPPORT MY HCS. JUST DON’T BE A DICK.

Heartslabyul

The word “Queen” is gender neutral

Frequently allows students from other houses to study with them

Recently expanded into two buildings dedicated just for dorms to house all of the students

Actually lots of words are gender neutral

Riddle

Does rebellious things with Trey sometimes

Actually struggled with gender for a while because of his mother and responds to all pronouns (he/she/they), but identifies as male

Sometimes uses the label “Androgynous Male”

Is attracted to Trey, but he can’t tell if it’s because of his childhood or because he genuinely likes his Vice DH

Trey

Enjoys breaking the rules with Riddle, even if it’s not very often

He dyed his hair green as a joke with Cater during his first year, but decided to keep it 

Has fallen for Riddle. Hard.

But between his dignity, his position and him not knowing if Riddle likes men, he won’t say anything that could ruin the friendship

Rook found out by accident and actually helps Trey try to work up the courage to ask Riddle out, but Trey always backs down

Invented a type of Tea that soaks clover leaves and it tastes like vanilla mixed with mint

Cater

Was Bi-Curious during his Pre-NRC days and actually tried to put it behind him like everything else

However, like, everyone at NRC is some flavor of gay

So he gave up on his internalized homophobia and now lives his full authentic life!

Cater fully believes that Deuce likes Ace, but he actually doesn’t

Deuce admits when men are attractive, no matter if it makes them uncomfortable or not

But the two are cool now

Ace

Probably one of the straightest guys you’ll ever meet besides Rook

Ruggie

A good singer

Also a Raging Bisexual

Play flirts a lot with Leona, even though they don’t like one another like that

Is FtM Transgender, fully transitioned, and wears his scarf to cover the fact that he doesn’t have much chest hair and his scars

Only Leona and Crowley know

Gets a little dysphoria because his voice is still so high and because he’s shorter than everyone in Savanaclaw, but takes one look at Riddle, Lila and Ace and forgets about it

Jack suspects, but the two make a killer duo during karaoke!

Jack

Is straight, but won’t get in your face about it

Actually learned how to become a fast swimmer just to flex on Jade and Floyd

Has memorized almost all of Heartslabyul’s rules just because he didn’t want to be disrespectful

Arm wrestles with Floyd often

Helps out in the Mostro Lounge pretty often when he’s bored

His karaoke skills are out of this world!

But doesn’t participate in the karaoke battles

“I’ll join if Leona joins.”

Petty about the karaoke

Jade

Once swapped clothing styles with Floyd for an entire day and was just chaotic towards everyone

Not even Azul knew they had swapped

Is Pansexual and liked Azul during Junior High, but got over it once they started at NRC

Can scare someone so badly that they tell the truth regardless of Jade using his magic

Floyd

When he swapped clothing with Jade, he actually enjoyed being calm and responsible

There is an entire chore chart and half of the chores involve Snake

Snake isn’t even the dorm mascot, he’s just Jamil’s pet

Tsundere TM

The only reason he doesn’t accept Kalim’s professions of love is because of his family obligations to serve the Al-Asim family

Everyone believes he can set his hair on fire, but he actually can’t

His hair is naturally that fire-y color

Owns a crop top that has a cat face on it that Ortho made for him

But he’s a power bottom

Silver

Doesn’t have a last name because he was raised by Lilia and Malleus

Is indebted to Malleus because of this

and Lilia too, but like I said, Lilia is the cool dad

(he is actually indebted to Malleus in canon, but idk if it’s for this reason or not)

just let him have two platonically gay dads that go to school with him

Once in a Diasomnia/Savanaclaw sleepover, he and Leona passed out on each other’s shoulders while Ruggie and Lilia took photos

The photos haven’t been seen in a while, but are still around somewhere

Actually has several photos of him falling asleep with his head in Lilia’s lap

His bed stretches across his entire wall, forming a bench almost

Owns a suit of armor

It has a sword

He can use the sword if needed

Can he just get a nap????

Because of his relationship with Malleus, seeing fireflies calms him down

Is this guy wholesome? Yes.

Is he a Bisexual top? Also yes.

Can’t make everything wholesome

Holy fuck my fingers hate me. If you managed to read this far, I hope you enjoyed my headcanons for Twisted Wonderland students and houses! I don’t know enough about the teachers to make headcanons for each them, but I do have one for the staff:

Sam and Dire Crowley

Married

This is the only reason Sam runs the school store

Sam is not qualified for anything else

But Dire loves him too much to fire him

Forget the wholesomeness between the Dorm heads and their Vices

This is the most wholesome pair

Okay seriously - I need to stop making these headcanons it’s midnight at my house. I’ve spent probably close to 13 hours (give or take with a lot of breaks) writing these down and doing research on characters just so that my headcanons don’t seem completely out of the blue. Also, don’t be afraid to post your own headcanons, even if canon doesn’t always support them. That’s the thing about fictional characters - they’re open to interpretation!

And now to the long list of tags....

[twisted-fics]

Sick as a dog

Savanaclaw

(Sorry there’s no x reader this time around, I just thought this would be a really cute and funny idea and I’m going to stress now that Leona and Ruggie’s relationship is platonic) (Also sorry that Jack isn’t in this a lot)

Leona groaned as he was shaken gently along with the sound of a raspy voice and coughing from above him.

“L-leona you have to- *cough cough* get...up…”

Leona sat up and looked at the noise only to see Ruggie, but instead of his normal glare, he had a red face with a hazy look in his eyes, he wasn’t wearing his uniform and looked like he was about to fall over.

“Good you’re *cough* up...we need to go-” Ruggie started coughing again and Leona stood up, “Hey Ruggie, you alright?” 

“Ye-yeah I’m-” Ruggie suddenly fainted and Leona caught him, Ruggie’s breathing was heavy and his body was extremely warm but he was still shivering.

Leona shook him, “Hey...Ruggie…!” But Ruggie wouldn’t wake up and so Leona picked him up, laid him on his bed and covered him up with a blanket and quickly ran out of the room, bumping into Jack.

“Hey! What the hell?!” Jack yelled

Leona just rolled his eyes, “Jack go to my room and don’t leave until I come back, there’s something weird with Ruggie.” 

“What do you mean?” “He’s shaking and his face is red, I’m getting Coach Vargas, I’ll be right back” Leona ran out of the dorm, leaving Jack confused.

~~

Ashton stood up from beside Leona’s bed where Ruggie still laid, “You guys have nothing to worry about, it’s just a small case of the flu, he’ll be better in about a week, I’ll get Divus to make up some medicine for him and I’ll get you a list of things you’ll need.”

Leona sighed, “Thanks Coach, you really saved us.” Ashton smiled, “You’re lucky I double as this school’s nurse but still, I wonder what could’ve caused this, your guy’s dorm is almost as hot as Scarabia so it can’t be because of the cold.”

Jack just growled, “I can’t believe I had to miss first hour because of this, I’m going, Leona you should too.”

Leona sighed again, “Right, I’m coming, Coach, can I have that list of stuff? I’ll make stops between classes.”

Ashton handed him a piece of paper with his writing, “Right here, see you in gym class.”

Leona and Jack watched as Asthon left and Leona put his hand to his forehead, ‘How did I let this happen? Ruggie was fine just yesterday...dammit, I need to watch him better.’

Jack sighed, “Come on, I’ve already missed one class, I don’t want to miss my others and become lazy like you.”

Leona rolled his eyes, “Fine.”

~~ Leona stared out the window in potions class, not hearing anything. “Leona Kingscholar!”

“Huh..?!” Leona nearly fell back in seat but caught himself, “Y-yeah…?” Divus sighed, “Get in your group, please, you’re with Vil and Rook, go.”

Leona nodded and got up, walking over to the cauldron and just nodding to his fellow 3rd years.

“Well, this is something new out of you beast, you’re usually quite snarky when you get paired up with me, something must’ve taken you down a peg.” Vil laughed but Leona didn’t respond, “Is something really the matter?” Rook asked.

“Ruggie’s sick...he’s got the flu…” Vil and Rook both looked at each other in surprise, neither of them had heard Leona so depressed before.

“That’s quite surprising, you treat him like an errand boy…you actually care that he’s sick?”

Leona looked at him with a glare, “He may do most of my errands but that won’t stop me from caring you asbestos covered piece of fruit.” 

Vil gasped but then sighed, “Well, despite that comment, I’ll be nice and give you some fresh fruit for him, it helps for people who are sick.”

Leona nodded, "Thanks, I guess.”

Vil hummed, "Still, I'm surprised it took so long for him to crash, Epel was telling me about how your little errand boy looked like he was going to faint over the last few days."

Leona's ears went flat and his tail drooped, "He…he did…?" 

Rook nodded, "Yes he's in my flying class, he started coughing and he got hazy during class the other day and Coach Vargas sent him back to your guy's dorm." 

Leona looked down, "Ah…I see…" 

Vil sighed, "You made him go on errands that day, didn't you?" 

"Well…no, not me, but Jack and a few others did…" 

Vil face palmed, "Goodness, you beasts are another thing altogether, you need to keep track of your dorm mate's health, Epel got a cold once but we were able to catch it before it got worse." 

Leona nodded, "I get it…I'll be taking care of him when class ends." 

~~

Leona walked into the cafe part of the lounge where Azul, Jade and Floyd were all busy serving a few students. 

Leona waited in line and Jade came up, "Well well well, if it isn't the king of the beasts, what can I get for you today?" 

"I need some…" Leona pulled out the list Ashton gave him, "Uhh…some soup, some tea or juice and water." 

Jade sighed, "You have to be more specific than that, is this even for you?" 

Leona groaned, "No, it's for Ruggie, he's got the flu." 

Jade looked surprised, "He finally crashed? That's interesting…" 

Leona looked at him weird, "That's the second time I've gotten that today…" 

Jade shrugged "Well, anyway, I'll get you what you need, I'd suggest olive leaf tea, chicken noodle soup and orange juice for your sick friend." 

"More like slave boy!" Floyd laughed.

Leona growled, "He's not my slave…Fine, I'll take that, how much?" 

Jade looked at Azul who nodded and turned back around to what he was doing.

"It's on the house, you're worried so just get it to him as quick as possible, alright?" 

Leona slowly nodded and went to the waiting line.

~~

Leona was walking back to the dorm with soup and drinks for Ruggie when someone called his name, he turned to see Kalim running towards him. 

"Leona! There you are! I heard about how your errand boy finally crashed so I brought you some things for him!" 

"Alright…though what for?" 

Kalim laughed, "To help of course! I have a humidifier, washcloths for when he needs a wipe down, the finest water and fruit and of course the finest silk pajamas!" 

Leona nodded, "Alright, thanks…" 

~~

Leona sighed as he walked into Sam's shop, he needed something to carry all the stuff he had received, everything from Kalim, blankets from Idia, rose tea from Riddle, fresh clothes from Malleus and the apples from Vil, plus the epsom salt and vapo rub he just had to get (advice from Vil) 

Sam smiled from the shop counter, "Welcome, how can I help you?" 

Leona walked over "I need like…a wagon or something and some epsom salt and vapo rub…" 

"Because your errand boy finally crashed?" 

Leona growled and slammed his fists on the counter, "Everyone has been saying that! He's not my errand boy! And everyone says something like,'he finally crashed' or 'oh so it finally caught up to him' and I don't understand why!" 

Sam continued smiling, "Well, think about it, he does practically everything for you, he cleans your room, gets you stuff, does your job as dorm leader by breaking up fights and then he has his own problems to worry about, not to mention Jack and the others don't help that by also making him do errands." 

Leona looked down, "I…I didn't realize I put so much strain on him…can I just get the stuff I need before this hot stuff turns cold?" 

Sam snapped his fingers, "There, they'll stay warm for the next couple hours, here's the stuff you need, free of charge." 

Leona put everything in the wagon and turned to the door, "Thanks Sam." 

~~

Ruggie groaned as he felt something cold on his forehead, he tried to sit up in bed but his body felt heavy, he managed to open his eyes and looked around. 

"Why…why am I in Leona's room…?" He said out loud, unknowingly. 

 "Good you're awake, you have to eat something." 

"No…no…I don't want to eat…also who are you…?" 

Ruggie gasped as Leona leaned over him, "It's just me and what do you mean you're not hungry? You haven't stopped being hungry since you were a pup." 

Ruggie shook his head, "I'm not hungry…not right now…and what are you doing? What's with the high ponytail and apron?" 

Leona pet his head, which Ruggie immediately softened to, "You're sick, you have the flu and based on what everyone's been saying to me, you've been sick and I didn't notice." 

Ruggie sighed "I…I wasn't sick…I was just…dizzy for a few days, I don't know where the flu came from…" 

Leona rolled his eyes, "You're sick and you knew you were getting worse, I honestly wish you had told me since I was too much of an idiot to notice myself." 

Ruggie looked away, "I…I thought you wouldn't care…nobody else seemed to except maybe Coach Vargas…"

"Well, they all cared when the word about you being sick spread, I got a bunch of stuff from other students for you." Leona chuckled. 

"Oh…still…I'm not hungry…I don't feel like eating…" 

Leona sighed, "If you're not hungry you should at least have a bath, I'll get you up." 

Leona uncovered Ruggie and picked him up, walking him to the bathroom, sitting Ruggie on the toilet seat lid and turning on the bath, checking the water and putting the plug in. 

Ruggie groaned, "The room is spinning…and I think I'm going to vomit…" 

Leona rubbed his back gently, "If you need to vomit the sink is right there, the bath is almost done, don't worry ok?" 

"Ok…" 

The bath soon finished filling up, Leona helped Ruggie undress and put him in the bath. 

"This feels kinda nice…" Ruggie said, sinking into the water more, "I don't ever really get to take hot baths like this…everyone else soaks up all the hot water…" 

Leona smiled as he stood up, "Well, since you usually give me my baths from now on you can take them with me, the tub is big enough for us both, now just relax, I'll go cut up some fruit for you." 

Ruggie closed his eyes and smiled, "Thank you…big bro…" 

Leona stopped at the door, not turning around but he felt himself beginning to smile widely at the nickname he hadn't heard in years.

"No problem." 

~~

"Here Ruggie, ahhh" 

"Ahhh" 

Leona fed Ruggie a spoonful of soup, wiping his mouth when he was done and petting his head.

"You're being weirdly caring, you've never been like this before" Ruggie said 

Leona smiled, "I know, I felt bad for ignoring you, Sam pointed out how I made you do everything as soon as you were old enough to start coming here, I don't know why I did, considering I used to hide you in my closet to keep you alive before you could've been enrolled as a student." 

Ruggie laughed, "I remember that! You had to give me your dirty clothes to wear and then you started taking up sewing classes to make clothes for me." 

Ruggie continued to laugh but started coughing hard, Leona frowned and pet his back, letting Ruggie cling to him as he continued to cough. 

"Shhh, it's ok, you'll be alright Ruggie, I'm right here, big bro is right here." 

Ruggie soon stopped coughing but continued to cling to Leona, burying his face in his chest while shaking. 

"W-why did this happen…? When will it go away?" Ruggie asked 

Leona pet his hair and helped him lay down, placing a fresh cold washcloth on his head, "Coach Vargas said it would be gone in about a week, you don't need to worry, ok?" 

"Ok…" 

~~

Divus sighed as Ruggie hid under the blanket, "Ruggie please, you're not going to get better if you don't take your medicine, I made it myself it's not poison." 

"What if it is? It smells weird…" 

Divus looked at Leona. 

Leona looked back at him. 

"What?" 

"You have to hold him, he won't take it otherwise."

Leona sighed and uncovered Ruggie, he sat him up, "Ruggie, you gotta take your medicine, it'll be quick ok?”

"Ok…" 

Divus poured the medicine into a spoon and had Ruggie swallow it, Ruggie groaned as he did but Leona gave him a drink of water. 

"Good, I'll be back tomorrow to give you more, you just rest until Ashton gives you the ok to go back to your classes" 

Divus left the room and Leona laid Ruggie down, "You did fine, don't worry." 

Ruggie nodded, "Thanks, I'm tired…but I want to know something…" 

"What is it?" 

"Why…why did you take me in all those years ago? When I was just a pup on the streets…why me?" 

Leona smiled, "I guess I just thought you were worth saving and I think I was right, you're smart and strong and that's because I raised you to be." 

"Thanks…I love you, Leona" Ruggie smiled. 

Leona grinned and pet his hair, "Love you too kiddo." 

                                     ~~A week later~~

"Leona! Come on get up! We're gonna be late!" Ruggie shouted, pulling on Leona's arm. 

Leona groaned, "Ok ok, I'm up, you feel better kiddo?" 

Ruggie huffed, "I feel fine, now get up before you're late for class!" 

Leona smiled as he got up, petting Ruggie's hair as he passed by, "Just make sure you're fully better before we head to class today." 

Ruggie smiled at him, "I'm fine big bro, I promise you." 

He was suddenly hugged tightly by his dorm leader, Leona held him snugly and continued to pet his head. 

"I'm happy you're better, I would hate to lose you."
