What are some of your First Year headcanons for TWST?

Ohmygod, I am sooooo sorry this took so long. It was way harder than I thought it would be to corral all my ideas together, but FINALLY, here it is. I hope this is good enough lol.

Hooooooo boy. The amount of brainrot I’ve had for these little guys is unreal, even during the times when I wasn’t that into TWST. But honestly, I don’t really have a whole lot to say — not that much of a “headcanons” person, myself. And a lot of what I do have to say has already been said in my fics. But I’m going to do my best here…

Ace Trappola

Because of the whole Book One fiasco, there are a lot of… things, let’s say, that Ace has absolutely fought tooth-and-nail to keep from his seniors; injuries sustained from stupid stunts, fights, bad grades, etc. It’s sort of like he’s doing whatever he can to avoid getting collared, despite knowing, logically, he probably isn’t going to.

Basically, Ace is the definition of a kid whose parents were strict, so he learned to be sneaky.

He’s actually a really snappy dresser, and not half-bad at doing makeup. He probably would’ve been in Pomefiore if it weren’t for his lackadaisical views on hard work. Meanwhile, while he’s not a strict person by any means, his stubborn, relentless attitude about his own twisted morals is what got him into Heartslabyul.

Out of all the upperclassmen, Ace feels the closest to Floyd… surprisingly. Jamil used to be a close second, but after the winter break fiasco, he’s since been replaced by Cater.

With Floyd, Ace can mostly chalk up the underwater museum incident to Yuu’s own meddling. With Jamil, it’s a little… less certain.

Before coming to Night Raven College, Ace’s nervous habit was to scratch the back of his head. After coming to Night Raven College, it was to rub the back of his neck.

Not really related to Ace, but I always headcanoned that his older brother was twisted from the Ringmaster from “Dumbo (1941)”.

Deuce Spade

Surprisingly, there are a lot of things Deuce also tries to hide from his upperclassmen. He hates himself everytime he does it, but it’s better than bothering them every time he loses his temper and they have to sign him out of the infirmary.

Deuce has scars on his knuckles from his delinquent days. 

Deuce’s main job at an Unbirthday Party is to move the tables and chairs.

The Dark Mirror briefly considered Deuce for Savanaclaw due to his strength and his instinct to hit a problem until it got out of his way, but his self-imposed pressure to be an honor student landed him in Hearstlabyul instead.

Out of all the upperclassmen, Deuce feels the closest to Silver.

Having a mommy/daddy complex will do that to you.

He likes to put oyster sauce on his tarts now — not because he particularly likes the taste, but because it makes him feel warm inside. (Tell Ace, and you’re dead.)

Deuce is actually really good at croquet for some inexplicable reason.

Jack Howl

Whenever Jack needs to leave Savanaclaw outside of school hours, he just leaves without telling anybody.

At the beginning of the year, he used to actually scrawl a shitty note saying "I'm leaving" everytime he needed to leave, but rarely did people ever actually find it by the time he got back.

After everything that happened in Book 2 and Book 3, it's obvious to him that Ruggie and Leona really don't care enough, so he stopped leaving notes.

For the briefest of moments, Jack was considered for Heartslabyul by the Dark Mirror for his inflexible moral code. However, his steadfastness in the face of overwhelming odds landed him in Savanaclaw.

They grow nighthowlers in the Botanical Garden. They look exactly like blueberries. Not related to Jack (yet), but I thought it was important to mention.

Besides Vil, Jack feels the closest to Riddle in terms of upperclassmen.

He really does like Ruggie and Leona, but that’s… a lot to unpack, at best.

He and Epel regularly get into fights over whether pears or apples are better, even in situations where neither pears or apples are involved.

Professor Crewel, especially, is very exasperated with them.

For absolutely no real reason whatsoever, Jack has the entirety of the “Shaftlands’ Etiquette Manual for Youngsters (Ages 14—18)” memorized. 

Not related to Jack, but I always headcanoned his young sister as being twisted off of Bolt from “Bolt (2008)” and his younger brother as being based off the Sheriff of Nottingham from “Robin Hood (1973)”.

Epel Felmier

Epel is a transgender male. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Epel does actually like macarons — strawberry-flavored ones are his favorite.

Epel does still get into a lot of fights around school, but he’s gotten better at hiding the evidence. Employing a trick he learned from Vil, he hides the bulk of his injuries using his clothes and makeup.

More often than he’d like to admit, Epel accidentally refers to Vil and Rook as his “parents” in his essays. Luckily, Professor Trein still gives him full credit, and he doesn’t comment.

He does the same thing when he’s talking about them to the other freshmen. They don’t stop him because a) it’s sweet, and b) it’s funny.

Once, Epel vented to Riddle about Vil, and accidentally referred to him as his “Ma” the whole time. By the end of it, Riddle looked very, very, very concerned.

Out of all the upperclassmen, Epel feels the closest to Leona.

Epel had no chances of ending up in Savanaclaw, but with the Dark Mirror sensing great magical power emanating from him, he very nearly ended up in Diasomnia. However, because he hadn’t developed his ultra-mega-powerful Signature Spell yet, it ended up diverting him into Pomefiore. Sorry, bud.

Am I only saying this because Epel is actually twisted off of a magic object, unlike the other characters? Yes, yes I am.

Ortho Shroud

He’s twisted from Hercules, don’t freaking @ me.

Ortho has a few issues with looking into mirrors, especially since he looks so much like OG!Ortho. 

Ortho has a few attachment issues, as a result of being an extrovert trapped in an introvert’s bubble for most of his life. 

The first-years completely and absolutely baby him, no questions asked.

It’s so bad that even if Ortho is completely at fault for something, they’ll take his side anyway.

Honestly, as much as I love this little guy, I really don’t have much to say about him…

Sebek Zigvolt

Suffers from severe attachment issues, for about the same reason as Ortho — being “too much” emotionally, and surrounded by people who put in the emotional bare minimum.

Silver is kind of an exception, but he’s so stone-faced, it also kind of doesn’t make a difference.

Has definitely called Trey “Father” more often than he’d like to admit. Trey thinks it’s funny, meanwhile Sebek is just straight-up mortified everytime.

Out of all the freshmen, Sebek actually feels the least close to the upperclassmen. But if I had to say which one he feels the closest to, even if it wouldn’t be saying much at all, it would have to be Silver.

While Sebek’s favorite food is salmon carpaccio, his (closeted) second-favorite is his dad’s homemade yogurt.

Am I projecting? Yes. I love my dad, sue me.

Sebek was actually way more comfortable with his human side than he was with his fae side when he was a kid, but because Briar Valley, that didn’t last too long.

Back in Briar Valley, Silver could usually go out by himself and not be bothered—mostly because he was General Vanrouge’s son and Malleus’s sort-of brother. Sebek, unfortunately, did not have that luxury.

The Dark Mirror considered Sebek for Ignihyde because of his never-ending diligence when it came to protecting Malleus and the other people he cared about. However, once it became extremely obvious that Sebek didn’t know how to turn down the volume on his own phone, it put him in Diasomnia.

Honestly, though, I think Sebek and Ortho would’ve both been better off if he HAD been sorted into Ignihyde.

Not related to Sebek, but I headcanon his older brother as being based on Tick-Tock the Crocodile from “Peter Pan (1953)” and his older sister as being twisted from Louis from “The Princess and the Frog (2009)”.

Yes, I know Louis is technically an ALLIGATOR, but shhhh. Lemme have this.

If it makes you feel better, though, I also headcanon their father as being from Port o’Bliss (the same place Sam is from), so through the power of genetics, it kind of works out.

Okay, I think that’s everything. I considered adding Yuu in here, but then again, anything we know about Yuu is mostly headcanons, so I don’t think it counts lol.

Thank you SO MUCH for your patience, and I hope my headcanons didn’t bore you, I know they’re kind of mundane lol.

omg never have i ever thought one of my fics would get fanart that wasn't my own. i am so fucking honored you don't even know, especially since your art is so goooooood

When the Diasmonia Student, notorious for being a snitch, finds out about your super (not-so) secret sleepovers (you have them almost every weekend):

Based on @whererubbermeetstheroad fanfic "careful (it's contagious). Specifically chapter 8, which you can read here: Shelter

I'm weak for the first years bonding and being a family and this fanfic is everything I could have ever asked for. It’s my bed time story.

In morality play au

Is makoto going to die

...Well, he's the mastermind, so I'm not even sure it's a fate he can escape--

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

For the morality play au

What the necklace makoto has?

It's SUPPOSED to be a a tracking device Hope's Peak Academy puts on all their lucky students in this AU, and it's based off a koban coin. I might get rid of it in later designs, though, who knows XD

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

Art requests?

I'm going to be upfront with you: it depends what it is. If it's not something I'm actively interested in, it'll probably take a really, really long time. I'm honored you asked, though!

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

Pls read this it is so friggin good like hhhhhhhhh i can’t I can’t I can’t crying screaming throwing myself into the floor

With threats of war slowly brewing between the Queendom of Roses, the Shaftlands, and Briar Valley, the sake of the entirety of Wonderland is at stake. With families pulling students out of Night Raven College due to prejudice against students from the countries, it’s only a matter of time before Crowley is forced to close the campus indefinitely. When Lilia finds records of an old law that could stop the conflict in it’s tracks, everyone jumps at the opportunity. They just weren’t anticipating that they’d need a marriage to seal the deal. More so, the marriage is required to be born of true love. Good thing there’s a group of students just stupid enough to try and pull it off.

Adeuce backstory swap au.

Yes, Riddle still gets punched in this au. No, he does not survive.

CONTENT WARNING -- mild blood

Line is ripped straight from Withered Bonnie's UCN voice lines.

Got to drawing this immediately after Game Theory's FNAF video. I just... love the fact that Bonnie Bro's now lore-relevant and I can't even explain why.

And I also love Mandela Catalogue which I just got into (have not slept ever since, but whatevs), and drew the following really quickly, which is probably why it looks so off, but hey; it matches the theme.

Don't ask me where Chica Bro is. I tried, but I couldn't find anything horror-related to plug him into. Whoops.

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

CONTENT WARNING -- brief suicide mention

POV: You're a main course student caught in the rain with a reserve course student you don't even know, and they're just staring at you like you've killed their whole family.

(What you don't know yet is that they were set to be the Ultimate Whatever until you took the title first.

But to be fair, you don't even know their name until you read in the newspaper that they threw themselves off a building.)

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

CONTENT WARNING — out-of-character

It wasn’t Nagito’s luck that led him to find that tape, in case anyone's wondering.

Second to watch: Nagito Komaeda

(I'm going to start just doing comics instead of tiny snippets, I think.)

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

Antagonist Kyoko Kirigiri from my Morality Play AU (finally settled on a name, phew) with some shitty concept sketches and ideas.

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

I saw your only an act of true love thing and oh god I'm so tempted to write a fanfic using that as the plot.

Oh my goodness. I know this is going to sound really stupid, but I'm super honored right now??? I say go for it. I'd read the shit out of that.

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

You can get a lot of things when you're an absolute monarch, and one of those things is a high-quality tape of the killing game hosted by your beloved. You watch it over and over, because the starving citizens outside can wait a few more days.

Then, you're forced back into a time you’d almost forgotten about, but where havoc and bloodshed is still your “normal”. And when you return to the present, you find the tape still lying in your pocket.

You watch it over and over, because you have no more excuses.

All that time, you remember the story he told you. About his grandfather. About the scandal. Corruption. “Geniuses”.

You wonder if he ever hated you.

...Oh, who are you kidding?

Of course he hated you.

First to watch: Sonia Nevermind

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

This is Part 1 of a series I'm going to call the "Generational Trauma AU". Completely self-indulgent, as always.

I find it hard to believe that Class 77 didn't feel at least a little guilty when they found out about the Killing School Life.

Mastermind Makoto — Free Time Event (1)

CONTENT WARNING — mentions of sexual harassment, diet culture, and unsafe work environments. Stay safe out here.

I spent like three weeks on this, and it's not even that good.

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

An awful lot of the first years are off to "Pleasure Island," and I couldn't help but notice..

So, how do you feel about Missing Persons Alert slowly becoming canon? (/hj)

On the one hand, I feel super validated that it wasn’t COMPLETELY just the deranged ravings of a crazed mind. On the other hand, the new event kind of throws the whole thing off XD

But I am excited for it, genuinely. And if there’s more first-year content involved, I am so there.

[whererubbermeetstheroad]

Based on a chapter of a fanfiction I wrote a few months back.

If anyone wants to know, the fic is called “careful (it’s contagious)”. This is referencing Chapter 18 specifically.
