Mc/Y/N/Yuu: Dear friends, your Christmas gift this year… is me. That’s right, another year of friendship. Your membership has been renewed.

Ace: Just say you're poor and get on with it

Mc/Y/N/Yuu: WELL EXCUSE ME!! SAYS THE ONE WHO GOT GRIM A 1$ CAT TOY

Grim: IM STILL VERY OFFENDED ABOUT IT

Ace: YOURE LITERALLY HUGGING IT RIGHT NOW

DID SOMEONE SAY FILIPINO TWST (no one did it's just me 😔)

below the cut is stock photos of what is a trike/tricycle in the philippines (what they’re riding on) if you're unfamiliar!! and also some rambling about my heartshackle trio ;;;

i referenced the one on the left, there's usually supposed to be a screen where ace is popping out (and also i think deuce would prefer riding the one on the right where it's an actual motorcycle and not just a bike)

i like to think that the trio found this tricycle trashed and broken somewhere and they tried to fixed it up so they could all take a ride on it

ace and deuce kinda fought who’ll be the first to ride it and deuce only won because they all agreed deuce was the one who actually knew (for the most part) how to fix the thing

++++ some more concepts/hcs between them in this au(???) 😳

all three of them are childhood friends who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to the same elementary school. unfortunately in high school they ended up in different schools, but they all still remained close friends 🥹

grim exists but as a regular cat who “belongs” to yuuna (yuuna was just grim’s favorite out of the three). technically he’s just a neighborhood stray, yuuna can’t really keep him as a pet at home (and neither can ace/deuce) but somehow grim keeps finding the heartshackle trio whenever they’re all together. and so grim just became part of the group.

yuuna has a physical album of photos dedicated to all the times they go to jollibee. they take a photo with the jollibee statue every single time they all go there.

ANYWAYS Idiyuu is Hades and Persephone conspiracy:

Persephone is not from the Underworld. She is called back to the Mortal Realm eventually because she has to return. Yuu is literally from another world. They are not suited to Twisted Wonderland, and are nothing like Idia has ever seen. They have to go back eventually.

Hades is probably one of the few TWST boys to have a “canon” spouse (at least in Greek mythology, which Hercules’ Hades is obviously based on). On top of that, Hades and Persephone is the love story between death and life, isolation and abundance, ending and rebirth. Idia is a gloomy, pessimistic boy who has been condemned to be the keeper of the Underworld. Yuu is a kind, gentle prefect who has been there to help and has helped everyone they know, again and again. 

Night Raven College has been in a ‘winter’ for all of its history. Everyone is hostile to everyone, no one wants to cooperate or work together, and every single person there has some ulterior motive. In comes Yuu, who is a breath of fresh air. A new perspective. A new season. They bring ‘spring,’ showing people that they can bloom. They can harbor feelings that aren’t cruel. They can do things that aren’t harsh. And slowly, they start to thaw. Flowers of friendship and something gentler bloom. Yuu is there to help pull the boys from their darkest moments to see the light again. Idia is no exception.

I think that the way Book 6 was set up makes Idia and Yuu seem a lot more meaningful honestly, though I'm probably reading way too into things lol. Yuu originally goes to the Island of Woe to save Grim. They don’t particularly care much about what’s going on with Idia—they just want to get Grim back. But then later, once they realize what’s going on, they do. There isn’t much, if any, personal connection to Idia’s overblot like there was with all the others. Yuu doesn’t have to do anything to help. And yet, they still do. Even after Idia basically kidnapped Grim, they still help him. They still try to end his winter.

Persephone, in many forms of the myth, didn't originally go to the Underworld willingly. But eventually, she came to love Hades, and they were happy together. Idia and Yuu have no reason to care about the other at first. But they eventually do, after everything that happens and everything that brings them together.

Hades and Persephone are in a constant push and pull. Persephone has to leave because if she stays, winter will never end. She does not want to leave, because she loves Hades. Yuu has to leave Twisted Wonderland, because they have a home beyond it that they need to return to. And yet, they don't want to leave because they love Idia. Idia doesn't want them to go, because it finally feels like spring again. But the seasons have to continue in their cycle, so what can they do?

Also, I think it’s really funny and really beautiful how Idia and Yuu’s first meeting was probably the Ghost Marriage event. This guy who thinks he has 0 rizz ends up having to be saved by some strange new isekai'd student and their gang of potential suitors before he gets his first kiss and promptly dies afterwards. Idia, the boy surrounded by death, is saved by the prefect who seems to be giving everyone a new chance at life. Imagine how poetic it’d be if Yuu and Idia end up getting married in the end, except now neither of them are going to die and they have the rest of their new lives together. There will be winter, but there will also be spring. The cycle of seasons will continue, but flowers will always bloom. They will always return to each other.

If I was Yuu (Robbed from my home and family, forced to live in a school I don't even have the requirements to be in, the headmaster uses me as his slave and blackmails me, I almost get vibe checked by God about two times each month, I accumulate seven traumas at least, I got kidnapped thrice, etc etc…) and some tall fox man with Tumblr Sexyman rizz came up to me and said "Heeyyy you can go to this park where you can have fun and smoke and drink for free forever and never go back to that school", I would jump on that fucking boat immediately, I'd be VERY easy to fool

[batneko]

Happy Pride y'all! 🌈

[terristre]

I know request says closed but I just wanted to tell you that we’ll finally be getting the Glorious Masquerade event this month. Any thought pookie? You excited?

I AM COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS til i can bully this man 💥🥊

[affectionate-team]

Imagine

All twst characters are self-aware, maybe even yandere (if you like your men mad). Your faves finally find a way to bring you into their world for one reason or another, whether that be their own selfish goals or some serious issues only their player can solve.

Now, they get into your house from the mirror hall through The Magic Mirror during the time you're sleeping. Their plan is simple: snatch up the player, bring them through the mirror, rejoice. They attempt to lift your body up.... only to hear a loud crack. All characters present collectively begin to panic or get thrown into catatonic state, ready to pounce on the one that they assume 'harmed you'.

Turns out it was just air in your bones popping. They were all so close to mourning you and throwing a farewell ceremony...

Idk why, but I just thought of it when my friend hugged me reaaally tight and accidentally caused every joint in my spine to pop. She thought she killed me for a moment.

I can also see Floyd's eyes going wide if he ever tries to squeeze his shrimpy and suddenly hears their back crack. Might either get concerned or fascinated by how 'gentle' and 'fragile' humans are.

Or Leona turning on his back while cuddling the prefect, squishing them under his weight (cats in general are heavy, I can't even begin to imagine how bad having a big cat lay on you might be) and causing their bones to pop. With mad hearing like his, I think he will definitely hear, even through deep slumber. How high are the chances of him fretting over his 'herbivore'?

[twisted-wonderland-shenanigans]

I think it's about time I sit down and develop more of the lore behind Twisted Monsterland (aka Monster!AU). I kept most of the details vague since at the time I started this AU, we didn't have much details on the events from the past (aka Lilia's past) until Chapter 7 released.

Now that we have more details, I feel like I've got a better understanding of how I want to tackle the history of humans and monsters in this world and why humans went "extinct" (according to what everyone assumes anyway). It'll also give me more opportunities to explore the attitudes of monster species and how they slowly came together in harmony during Lilia's travels!

It'll also give me an opportunity to explore an idea that just came to me involving one of the Twst boys! Who, you may be wondering? I can't say without spoiling too much, just know I'm excited to write it and his past~ >v>

[0ann3]

Haha, what if they saw the other out on a date but at that time didn't knew they were officially together-

Had a sudden hc/thought that if Floyd and Riddle are on a date, they're either holding hands or Floyd's hand will be on Riddle's shoulder

Meanwhile, Azul would prefer clinging holding onto Deuce's arm for whatever reasons

One of them

I was reading the Masquerade event story...my mind was just blown thinking about this one.

Note/Warning: What if MC is both from Obey me and TWST

-----

Group Malleus sees the GOAT during their stroll in Fleur City...

Jamil: Do you think maybe the reason the goat approach us is it thinks Malleus is one of them because of the horns? Malleus: Me...one of them? because of my..."

Also Malleus: //smiles cuz TWST MC is Obey Me MC for this...so MC can also be seen as a goat or sheep.//

//The Goat approaches and Malleus reaches it with a smile//

Sebek: HALT YOU GOAT! HOW DARE YOU TREAT MY LIEGE AS YOUR BREATHREN! YOUR HORNS ARE NOTHING COMPARE TO HIS!

Malleus: Wait Sebek...Don't you see that if this goat sees me as his own family...then MC will surely notice me.

Jamil: But MC has been with us for months now. Isn't that too late of a realization.

//The goat just bite Sebek's hand as self defense maybe//

Sebek: HOW DARE THAT HUMAN(MC) NOT NOTICE THE GREAT MALLEUS--AHH! You bit me! I SHALL NOT LET THIS INSOLENCE GO!

Riddle: I think I can see the resemblance of this goat and MC now.

Rollo: Stop this...the goat must treated with kindness and respect. It must wander along the streets of the city.

Malleus: (¬‿¬)

(●'◡'●)(●'◡'●)(●'◡'●)

//Later when the group meets MC//

Malleus: I brought you our breathren...MC!

Riddle: I told him this is a bad idea.

MC: Our what?

Malleus: Our child! It has horns and iIt even has the same golden accessory like yours.

MC: That's the community goat, please set it free.

Rollo: //stalks at the corner of the wall, glaring and judging//

Idk what came over me lol.

[random-twst-things]

Lilia: Silver! Can you go wake up Mc/Y/N/Yuu? Dinner is almost ready!

Silver: Okay!

*Silver walking to the lounge couch, tapping Mc/Y/N/Yuu on the shoulder*

Silver: Mc/Y/N/Yuu, It's almost time for dinner, wake up

Mc/Y/N/Yuu, snaps eyes open: Shhhh! I know! *Goes back to 'sleeping'*

Silver: ...what?

Mc/Y/N/Yuu, snaps eyes open again and whisper yelling: Look, when I came here for dinner I didn't know it was gonna be Lilia's dinner, so let me pretend to be asleep so I don't end up getting sent to the hospital for consumption of poisoned food!!!

Silver: oh....

Silver, looks back at the kitchen to see purple steam coming out of it: ...

Silver, looks back at Mc/Y/N/Yuu: ....that's actually a good idea, scoot over

jade who got heartstruck by someone who listens, and trey who generally takes interest on really listening to what people have to say, about things he doesn't know yet

[underqualified-human]

Yuu: You're just saying that to make me feel better.

Vil: Aww, Yuu, when have I ever said anything just to make someone feel better?

[crystallizsch]

hello i am once again thinking about grim, and by extension the heartslabyul duo because if there’s anything else that lives in my head rent-free it’s how the main four are as close as friends as they are throughout the entire game so far.

(help this ramble became longer than i intended)

-> i know it's a pattern that the previous dorms help out in the next book which means once book 7 ends, we’re assuming book 8 would be about ramshackle(?). which means it’s diasomnia’s turn to have a big role in the following dorm. -> but it got me thinking. throughout the books, heartslabyul (specifically adeuce) is always present somehow. no matter how much screen time they actually have and how relevant they are to the conflict at that time. (actually i think something similar could be said with diasomnia but i want to focus mainly on adeuce) -> throughout the books, we're just set up with how good of friends the four are. the prologue, books 1 and 2 start to develop the four's chemistry together, and by book 3 we get one of the first signs that yuu cares about these three to the point they're willing to risk it because their dumbasses decided to sign a deal with azul. -> in book 4, while adeuce didn't have much involvement, i believe twst JUST hammers home that all four of them are friends friends. we are shown how ace and deuce went through all the trouble of transportation DURING THE HOLIDAYS because they thought yuu and grim were in trouble. like they could've easily just went "hey it must have been nothing" but they were worried enough to go check on them, not even thinking that someone else could've had handled it already.

-> since the pattern was that the previous dorm helps the next dorm, why does it seem like in book 5 it seems that heartslabyul, or at least, adeuce has as much of a big role as scarabia? the scarabia duo was there to notice the signs with vil but it was deuce who dealt the last blow to him. (honestly i don't remember much but i don't know how much help scarabia even helped pomefiore other than being in vdc hhh) -> so then it made me think, huh. it's like twst is setting up that these two will be more important than we think and will definitely not be going away soon. -> and then THE END OF BOOK 6. ouughh the end of book 6. their reunion just solidified for me how much they all care about each other. adeuce were not prompted by a direct "we're in trouble, help us" text this time. they just found out yuu and grim were somewhere in danger and it agonized them that they could do nothing about it but wait and hope they're safe. -> book 7 finally we're back to finding out ways to help yuu get home. and since they're all admittedly close friends (dare i say found family) at this point without explicitly stating it, i get the vibes of "we'll help you get home because we care about you but we're not going to think about the depressing possibility we might never see each other ever again".

-> so very abrupt transition;;; this led me to thinking about the overall “alice in wonderland” theme throughout twst. -> is that why adeuce has been with us this entire time? to remind us of that theme? we are in twisted wonderland after all. (I'm not really sure about the thought of yuu being alice but it's an interesting one to consider too) -> to tie in more with the alice in wonderland theme, i'm briefly going to go back to diasomnia. in book 7, there's like a theme of dreams. in fact, throughout the game it was all about dreams and visions and stuff. and in book 7 we're just diving into it. -> and in the story of alice in wonderland, there seems to be the implication that everything that happened in wonderland was just based on a crazy dream that alice had. like we don't know if anything was ever real. (i'm not really a fan of the "it's all a dream" twist but the connections got the gears in my brain turning) (also mickey must be relevant too but i have no thoughts about the implications of his existence at the moment 💀) -> i know we're not done with diasomnia's book but it seems to be set up as a catalyst for something bigger along the line (thinking about the possibility that there is even something bigger than a malleus overblot is very wild to say the least)

-> SO ANOTHER abrupt transition but still related, i thought about the parallel between the "overblot grim" in the beginning of the game and the "jabberwock(y)" in alice in wonderland. they're both chimera-like creatures that are like the final bosses or something. -> and what if a way for yuu to "go home" is to "slay" the jabberwocky (or in this case the overblot grim) just like in the story of alice in wonderland / through the looking glass. -> there's theories i believe that ace is set up to be some kind of "trump card" based on his name and the fact his unique magic isn't revealed yet. but also i want to add deuce in there too remembering how he held a big role in stopping vil in book 4 like some kind of foreshadowing. -> maybe the main role diasomnia will have is only about all these dream shenanigans. and i'd like to think instead that at the end of the day, this conflict with an overblotted grim is ultimately between our main four. some representations based off alice in wonderland. -> going full circle, is this why we have been shown so much of the friendship between all four of them? to establish this possible eventual conflict? and to make it harder for us to choose about "going home"? do we even get the choice?

do we "slay" the jabberwocky or will we decide to stay in this seemingly dreamlike fantasy wonderland instead?

[mmhberry]

When Malleus calls your real name instead of « Child of Man » you know things are getting serious
