@ceruleancattail This Reminded Me Of Your AU :)

I HAVE FOUND ANOTHER IDIACHEN SHIPPER YEEEESSSSSSS

Cat Hoodie hcs! (Idia Shroud x Che'nya)

Met when Cater forced Idia to come to an unbirthday party that Che'nya just so happened to crash

hates PDA x "LOOK AT MY BOYFRIEND"

Che'nya pops up in Idia's room sometimes to watch him while he plays video games.

If Idia had a particularly stressful day he'll tell Che'nya to pop over so they can cuddle.

Che'nya lets Idia pet him, Idia loves the sound of his purring

Sometimes Che'nya will take something from Idia and make him chase him down to get him out of the house

Ortho has learned that it's not very hard to tell when Che'nya is over on account of the loud, motorboat purring that comes from Idia's room every time it is

Che'nya brings Idia snacks (and a few of Trey's stolen pastries) in the same way a housecat would bring you mice because it thinks you're a bad hunter

IT WAS FUCKING MALLEUS ACE WHAT ARE YOU ON???? DID HE CLAIM TO BE THE PREFECTS BESTIE OR SOMETHING??? YOU FEARLESS LOYAL FOOL.

Bro sitting here as if he didn’t try beefing with Ace and then hiding behind a fucking tree when I caught his ass in 4k.

Jamil and Kalim were also in the guest room at the time but Kalim was faced away from those two.

I’m imagining Ace and Mal duking it out while Jamil either watched the Drama or gave up and decided he didn’t get paid enough to deal with this while Kalim was distracted and completely unaware of what was happening behind him.

Does anyone know who’s line the first one is, because I walked into my guest room and:

Whoever Ace was fighting is hiding behind the tree???? And their chibi hasn’t moved so I still can’t tell?????

It lowkey sounds like something Vil, Riddle or Jade would say but Lilia is also a possibility, maybe Malleus????

Ace fears no man, no fish, and no god if its any of them istg.

The first years are the friend group equivalent of chaotic tumblr posts. I shall not elaborate any further.

I’m reading Fairy Gala and istg the way Riddle hypes up Ace to the Housewardens is so cute-

He’s like a proud mom trying to one up the other parents at the PTO meeting I literally cannot

“COULD JACK DO THAT” STOP WHY IS HE FLEXING

HE FEELS SO HAPPY AND THINKS ACE WILL LOVE THE TASK THEIR SIBLINGS YOUR HONOR.

Guess whos back on their Che’nya theory shit again. Me.

Also some of this is just me going on about random and absolute far stretched shit, but hopefully the majority makes sense to y’all.

I’m about to sound batshit insane and this is going to be some MatPat sounding shit but here we go anyway.

WARNING‼️⚠️ MAJOR BOOK 7 SPOILERS AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

———————

I just made the realization that Che’nyas UM and already natural abilities we’ve seen puts him in a position to be deadass playing the Floor is Lava with Malleus as the lava rn.

They wouldn’t have told us his UM in the main story if it didn’t matter somehow. They had the opportunity to show us Neiges in Rooks dream, yet didn’t, so it isn’t a heres RSA UMs for for shits and giggles thing, and we don’t know ANY of the teachers UMs, so it isn’t a “filling npc” thing either.

In EVENTS, we learn the UMs of only the very important and/or dangerous characters. Rollo, Skully, and Fellow. (Geez, Halloween trio now that I think of it).

Do we know Dylia Spades? No. Do we know Eric Schronheits? No. Do we know Ambrose the 3rds? No. Do we know Elizas? No, we get slapped. Do we know Najima Vipers? No. (She might not have one yet tho but still).

These characters are all confirmed as mages, or not directly said to be magicless, so it’s fair to assume they are mages.

So they told us Che’nyas UM for a reason. Why?

Like if his UM makes him invulnerable to magic/attack and invisible, and straight up on ANOTHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE, then if he’s not technically “all there”, Malleus wouldn’t be able to sense him.

Plus, this would explain how Orthos body was floating on the water when STYX found it, as when we know Orthos HEAVY AF, and would more than likely sink, since I doubt they had the time to build in something inflatable enough to balance that weight.

To boot, Ortho was at the docks, which from the map, is super close to RSA.

For reference:

(Both normally and under Mals spell)

The Cheshire Cat is the one who gets Alice out of Wonderland (In the movie, the tunnel Alice runs through matches the Cheshire cats color and stripes + He’s the only one not chasing her+ in the OG book, the Cheshire Cat is more of a Guide and the only one who really sticks with and helps Alice for the whole shabang), and if he’s in RSA, then I think the writers know that.

Aswell as the fact Che’nya appears in both Books with “Tyrant” in the name, and the Cheshire Cat is the only person completely immune to the Queen of Hearts control, as the second most powerful being in wonderland next to LITERALLY TIME ITSELF.

Look in most Disney Villain Line-Ups, and you’ll find the Cheshire Cat. Why? Marketing, the Cheshire Cats a popular character that isn’t directly portrayed as a hero, and more as a mysterious reoccurring character that isn’t necessarily seen as a helper unless you squint.

Additionally, we’ve seen Che’nya use flight, self gravity control, teleportation(unconfirmed but implied on that one) and use his UM for extremely long periods of time, and now that I think of it, we’ve never seen it wear him down, even without the lack of a magestone on his design.

And anyway, in the manga, he’s been doing such things since before we meet him for the first time at age 8-9 from Rids perspective.

Which means long enough that he basically has full control over it at that age, so probably either since birth or very, very young.

Which gives us the know that unlocked his UM way before meeting Riddle and mastered it, which means likely as a literal toddler woke up one day and went “Hey what if I just fucked off to another plane of existence and became both invisible and invulnerable, while capable of movement and communication on this plane the whole time.”

Now back to Book 7.

So heres what caught my attention, Silver mentions the only people he can pop into the dreams of are people he has connections with.

Seeing as we get Sebek first crack out of the box, and then Lilia, this makes sense.

However, it falls off when the next people start to be people Silver either doesn’t know, or very loosely knows.

Yes, I understand the commercial and writing point is meant to be a dorm countdown, but it would make far more sense to be a Russian Roulette, kind of upping the anticipation of whos next.

But to me, with what we know of Silvers connections, it would make far more sense to have the second years be first after Dia, then maybe the third years that he knows because of Lilia, and finally the first years, still leaving room for Ace to get his UM towards the very end.

Now if we drive this back to my Che’nya playing Yuu’s guardian angel theory, it would make more sense to start with Pomfieore after Igi, because not only is it recent connections, so probably easier to bring to the forefront of Silvers UM, it gives him time to get up to NRC right after pushing Ortho or simply getting him out safely.

Before you mention malleus’s barrier, Che’nya gets past NRCs barrier that took STYX heavy power shots to break like its every other tuesday, without Crowleys notice aswell, he stands a viable chance of slipping past Malleus’s.

If he can jump to another plane of existence in which he is invulnerable to magic, theres nothing stopping him from sliding past to get Ortho out and slipping back in under Malleus’s nose.

It also gives him a good “oh shit” moment and an idea of the root of whats happening.

And if I’m wrong and he can’t teleport, he can latch on to Malleus (possibly referencing the Cheshire Cat latching onto the Queens back after she gets a card solider executed I think) to teleport with him back to NRC.

With that, he could be preventing Silver OBing by basically shattering the shade/phantom before it can even do anything, while also hiding Idia being awake. That, or basically lending Silver magic enough to keep going while praying to god Mal doesn’t notice.

Lilia playing the worlds most dangerous game of tag with Mal in dreamland gives him the distraction he needs for this aswell, and it could be that everything went to shit around Trey-Riddles Dreams, and Che’nya popped in to speed up the process and or Dream Che’nyas revealing his UM kinda got his ass caught by Mal, or caused Mal to finally detect a disturbance in the force.

So if I’m right with the previously theorized Guardian Angel thing, Che’nya could be hotwiring Silvers UM to send Silver and co to the people he remembers helped Yuu and the rest recently without risking Malleus putting two and two together on who could be fucking with the dreams other than Silver, depending on how he was portrayed in Trey and Rids Dreams.

Though it would be hilarious if with the Floor is Lavaing it he was also Night at the Musueming it and just repeatedly moved each dreamer closer to Silver physically so they’d have a physical connection (like pinky to pinky or head to head) and basically had Malleus doing a eyebrow raise everytime he turned around trying to figure out if that person had been moved or he was seeing things until he realized there was an exponentially large group around Silver that definitely wasn’t there before.

Another thing: We know the Three Good Fairies weren’t affected by Maleficent’s curse and are the ones to untie Philip when he’s caught and give him the Sword and Shield, which his has, and loses all but the sword in the fight against Maleficent, the Sword and Shield which in the Og twst Trailer that scene is likely referenced by Silver as the Sword (duh) and Sebek as the Shield, with Lilia where Philip would be, although his arm is raised higher.

You kinda have to flip Sebek and Silvers positions but yea.

Sebek being Virtue is self explanatory. He strives to have the virtue of a knight worth of Malleus, and shows this in many ways, but his faults are his rudeness, arrogance, biased or generally rude assumptions, and overexaggertion, stemming from his own internilzed racism (or speciesism? I guess?) , which lead many others to not want to be around him, deflecting the truth of his heritage as to not focus on his own insecurities like a shield to an attack, no matter who its from, in a way.

Now that he has begun to bond and not be as rude to the rest of the non fae cast however, he ends up passing out? Like how a shield seemingly has no use if its not defending, unless you get real creative with it (Its Reyn time I mean who said that)

Silver balances this out as truth, as he is someone we see is honest to almost no fault. His UM also shows truth, in its own way, by showing the truth of the desires of those around him. However, a truth has also been held directly from him, aka the truth of his birth, and the undeniable truth that to break the curse upon him, Lilia did have to truly love him, even as the child of his friends killer.

So he is both benefited and harmed by truth, just like how the same sword can both protect and kill, it just depends on who wields it.

Anyway, back to the point at hand, Now that Malleus seemingly has the time to go and pull a FNAF 4 at Idias door, the odds are Lilia may have somehow gotten caught or restrained (like Phillip is) for enough time to have Malleus notice the Shrouds are pulling shenanigans on his private dream servers and feel the need to go confirm this.

The way in the movie the Three Good Fairies are caught hiding Aurora by Maleficent in the first place is by getting too cocky on the day before Aurora’s B-day and using magic like crazy, fixing up and making their “gifts” much better, as they didn’t know how to create them without magic.

These gifts? A Cake by the GREEN fairy, the calmest and most mature of the three: Fauna, and a Dress, which the RED AND BLUE FAIRIES Merryweather (the most rebellious yet sensical) and Flora (the leader, most work focused and overconfident) keep fighting over which color it should be, Pink or Blue.

(I rewatched their scenes and I forgot how much of a fucking MVP Merryweather was, everyone else turning things into rainbows, bubbles and flowers while my girl was out here burning chains, hunting down snitches, turning her mfking ops to stone and had to be physically held back from throwing hands with Maleficent by herself, god bless this tiny blue diva)

Fauna can obviously be placed as Trey here. Calmest, a Cake, Green. Done.

You can combine Flora and Merryweather into the two sides of Riddles Dream, the first being very punk yet sensical lifestyle, the blue, bringing in the sadness of what he desired yet cannot have, and the second half being Flora, the extremes of overconfident and tyrannical leadership, the red of rage, to say.

Red and Blue obv equal Purple, Che’nyas signature color, probably because purple isn’t actually a fucking color. I’m not going to explain the history of purple, but there is not such thing as purple in science, only shades of violet.

Speaking of Pomfieore, the first non dia dreamer group we see, is VIOLET. I said it. (Octavielle is Lavender, so no, not directly purple) Bright Red is Heartstabyl. (Scarabia is Maroon, which is a shade of red, but again, not directly bright red)

Now what I’m going on about here is this: If In the dreams, each dreamers NPC versions of their friends strictly abides by what the dreamer desires them to, how did dream Che’nya not only transfer to both parts of Riddles dream, but also go directly AGAINST the dream and the dreamer?

The dream versions of the others cannot, under any circumstances, break the character the dreamer creates without breaking the dream itself.

We see this in Lilias dream, in Treys, and Deuces. The Senate, Cater and Ace respectively breach the line of what is and isn’t in character for them in the dreamers memory to hold the dreamer within the dream, causing their respective dreamer to wake up sheerly due to the stark contrast.

These characters will go to lengths to keep the dreamer asleep, so how is it that this dream version of Che’nya can do the exact opposite?

And in Treys dream, Che’nya is the only one not practically turned into Eric Cartman variants, which given the fact Cater, certified sweets hater, has too, means that Che’nya, certified sweets stealer, somehow dodged that bullet in Treys subconscious, which breaks the rules set by the dream.

These rules are delicate, seemingly. It takes one too out of character word, one too out of character action to knock the dreamer awake.

So either Trey sees Che’nya as having the self control of a monk (a small scene in manga implies Che’nya steals from the Clovers fridge so often Treys own damn siblings hear the fridge open and assume its him and not their own damn brother, so I doubt that he’d think that) or Che’nya can bypass these rules.

Many of the dreams would have been so much easier if they could conveniently convince the dreamers friends to go up against them for their sake or just to simply help wake them up.

Of all people, the dream version of Ace fucking Trappola actually listening to and abiding by Riddles tyranny and not jumping at the opportunity to S.O.S to Leona, Yuu and co says enough about this as is.

Anyway, what I’m saying here is that Che’nya either got his ass caught, or finally managed to hotwire himself into Silvers UM conga line, which unfortunately left Idia now in Mals notice and Silver becoming more weary from excess UM use.

Just like how the good fairies thought they’d succeeded and jumped the gun with using magic a day early, Chen could have thought that since they made it this far, their clean until further notice, and is gonna feel the hit of it later.

As my phone is dying and I want a fucking nap, this has been Blues randomass rant about Che’nya again.

More at ???? Folks.

The Kids you’re thinking of are Lock, Shock, and Barrel! Their names refer to how they each died :(

(Locked in a freezer, electrocuted, trapped in a barrel and thrown into a river to drown)

They call Santa Claus “Mr Sandy Claws” , and If twst don’t use that for Leona in this event, I will be disappointed beyond repair. It’s too perfect.

Those three lil kids that kidnap Santa in ‘nightmare before Christmas “ fit the triplets!

But I could see them as adeuce+grim

IDEAS FOR THIS:

Ace- Really Sharp Ace of Hearts Card

Deuce- Baseball Bat with a knife taped to it

Cater- Old Guitar

Trey- Rolling Pin and Old Baking Sheet

Riddle- Carving Knife + Croquet Mallet

Che’nya- A door with a tired face that talks (its kind of an asshole ngl)

Leona- Engraved Piece of Elephant Bone + Gucci Sandal

Ruggie - Crowbar (or lockpicks)

Jack- Dumbells

Azul- Replica Trident (bought as a decor item for the monstro lounge but Floyd broke the casing), + A Ring of “we’ll take care of them for free” coupons

Jade- Suspicious bag of unknown plant and/or mushroom based substances

Floyd- Sharp Pieces of Shells and Sea glass

Kalim- Bejeweled Scimitar + Key to the Vault

Jamil - Inexpensive Frying pan (and decently sharp Kitchen Knife if he trusts you enough)

Vil- Poison Recipes book + Really Blinding and strong smelling Perfume

Rook- A bow and filled quiver (and useful info for blackmail if you want to go the emotional violence route) and/or hunting traps

Epel- a very nice and pointy Applewood stick

Idia- An overwhelmingly souped up gun (manual book is optional)+ pen that doubles as a tazer

Ortho- a lazer cannon + his assistance if needed

Malleus- Enchanted Shortsword + Faes Blessing

Lilia- Cursed Spoon of Doom and Wisdom + Combat Training (whether you like it or not)

Silver- A Ram horn that summons animals to assist you when you blow into it (unfortunately you do not get a say in WHICH animals)

Sebek- A very sturdy hardcover book and/or a shield he “simply outgrew” (cough liar cough)

Grim- Moral Support + Being your flamethrower

Skully- Pumpkin Carving Knife

Rollo- Torch

Crowley- Feather (its as useless in combat as he is in your life)

Crewel- Whip or Bear Mace

Vargas- Pitchfork

Trein- Advice + A Journal (to plot in)

Sam- A very weird amulet he swears isn’t haunted even though it was “on the house” + Will make you a Voodoo doll of an enemy for Free.99

The prefect is magicless. Yet they are involved in every overblot that has happened in nrc ever since their arrival. How do they survive? Do they use Grim as a flamethrower?? That has to be it. Or they buy a pewpew from Sam. Lets see what their signature spell can do against the prefects new muskatool!!

Since Y’all liked the last one, heres something somewhat similar:

TWST Characters as funny / random ass moments with my friends/family

———-

Ace : A good friend of mine made an entire Cards against Humanity Deck including us, and we played it at like 4 am.

Also, one of my closest childhood friends of now 11 years, the way we first met was he insulted me, and then thirty minutes later I peeked at his notebook while he was drawing (our beds were next to eachother) recognized Sans from a meme, and then managed to bullshit through an entire conversation about Undertale without him suspecting I didn’t know what the hell I was talking about.

I made a joke about it a little less then a year ago, thinking he knew by now, but no. He looks at me and the conversation goes:

“Are you telling me our entire first interaction was you just fucking improvising through a discussion of a fandom you didn’t know shit about?”

“Wait you didn’t know?”

“NO?!”

“You genuinely believed that I knew what I was talking about then for 10 years?!?”

“Surprisingly, yes.”

Deuce: I was biking with my sister, and she accidentally biked straight into a fucking lake. Also when my dad looked me dead in the eye after receiving one of my graded tests and goes

“How the fuck do you answer Maine four times on different questions and be wrong for all four times.”

Bonus Adeuceyuu combo: Me and two of my childhood friends once linked together to grab something we saw in a river, turns out it was just a broken fishing rod.

Also another on me and the above two friends meeting: The first thing one of them did was insult me, and I genuinely have zero memory of how I met the other.

Basically, we met at a sleepaway camp as kids, and for some reason, our sleepaway camp had some wackass shit, but one of them was this game. I don’t remember the name of it, but you had to go in groups of 3-4 and tie ribbons around each staff tent/cabinside without getting caught (and keep in mind each campsite and Cabins were very spread apart) at midnight, and the first to return to the cafeteria, where the staff were waiting, and did so after tying them all, on won.

Kids age 12-17, in the middle of fuck knows where in the woods Long Island, running around in the dark unsupervised with only any light bringing items they brought themselves.

So me, and we’ll call them C and M, teamed up. It’d take too long to go into full detail, but it was a very Prologue Mines fused with Camp Vargas core adventure.

Bonus First year gang in general : Me and three friends were waiting for something I genuinely don’t remember in an abandoned dorm area and got extremely bored, and one of them could do a perfect Donald Duck impression, and another a really good goofy, and this somehow led to us having a fake reality tv show verbal bitchfight as Donald, Goofy, Mickey and Minnie for a solid hour. We all regretted not recording it.

Cater: My friend from Wales entirely forgot about the existence of timezones and called me in the middle of my history class. Her ringtone at the time was just a clip of her screaming “Bread”.

How my teacher didn’t figure out who’s phone it was is beyond me.

Trey : Made Russian Roulette Spilt Cupcakes for a large group of my friends, and one is allergic to strawberries, while another’s favorite is, so I very specifically placed the strawberry filled one on the complete other side of the table with the intention of slipping it in after she picked her two.

Some fucking how, she ended up with the Strawberry one, which I had tied with a bow (basically the ones with bows mean they contain an allergen, and the color is the allergen. Ex: Strawberry was BRIGHT FUCKING PINK.) I’m to this day not exactly sure how, but my best guess is she traded hers with whoever originally got the Strawberry one before we ate.

Luckily, I told her partner, who had been my baking partner in crime and convinced me to add in the strawberry after I said it might be a bad idea, to bring two epi pens just incase.

Riddle : I am around 5’3, and I had a friend (?) who was 6’2-3 in middle school. We had almost the blatant definition of a Floyd and Riddle Dynamic, but he’d out of the blue be extremely sweet to me (kinda like that comic in the anthology), only on days I was going through shit. When I tell you I genuinely thought I was hallucinating when he did though-

Also, I yelled at him for nailing, yes, NAILING, a flag on the ceiling reading :”el sábado es para los chicos” (Saturday is for the boys) In the fucking Spanish classroom. Since nobody was as tall as him and the janitors didn’t notice it, it was there for like a week.

Che’nya : My friend and I have an ongoing inside joke where whenever we spot the other through a window in the hallway, we text the other “behind you” or “to your__”

Leona : I brought a pillow with a silk pillow case (gift from my mom) to a sleepover once, and my friend went “You trust leaving me in the room with this?” and I genuinely responded “Its a pillow, why wouldn’t I trust you.” entirely forgetting that Silk can be pretty expensive.

I felt so bad bro.

Ruggie : My friend once dared me to get a one plate of everything during a party. I misinterpreted this and brought a mostly to full plate of each thing, including water bottles.

Turns out they meant balance one of everything on a single plate.

I did not, infact, return the seven brownies, four cupcakes, two cookies, twelevish tangerines, popcorn and god knows how many grapes, but everything else was returned or snatched by friends.

Jack: My friend was throughly convinced she knew where she was going when we got lost outside at one of the biggest malls in fucking America, and we ended up walking a good 4/6th of the perimeter before finding the target (the store, we were still fucking lost) , which we called her mom to pick us up at.

Bonus: My friend, a few dormmates and I were at Starbucks and this random woman comes up to my friend and goes “Hey, they got my order wrong, want my drink?” and I was literally trying to give him this face of “BAD IDEA”. Yea so he ignored the obvious and drank the whole fucking thing and was bouncing off the walls for the rest of the day. (This one could also work for Jamil I suppose.)

Floyd : I was once walking with a friend of mine and jokingly said Trees are giant salads.

This motherfucker breaks off a branch of the nearest tree, takes a fatass bite, drops it, and goes “I want a refund.”

Jade : Randomly got interrogated my mushroom hunters—-

(I kind you the fuck not, MUSHROOM. HUNTERS. Basically, they go out to hunt/find/ forage for rare mushrooms. Atleast thats what they told us?! I wasn’t paying much attention, I was busy petting their dog tbh)

—While camping, my friend and I had zero clue what they were talking about, so she just pointed in a random direction and they thanked us and left.

The same friend also introduced me to mica, but always called them Mermaid Scales, and we more than once walked around in the water looking for them, I was the only one that would literally stop mid-trail to pick some up though. I have a massive collection.

Also she never let me live down the fact I once trapped myself in my tent with fucking dental floss overnight just to see if I could, then couldn’t undo it in the morning, and our adult / guide / trying to keep us alive person had to cut me out with a knife.

Azul : This one very specific time as a kid I was talking to two identical twins, who were standing on each side of me, wearing the same outfits but color reversed, and nearly had an internal breakdown trying to remember which was which, so I just did verbal gymnastics around using their names.

We later literally spent two hours fighting for ours lives together and I shit you not I STILL COULDNT REMEMBER THEIR FUCKING NAMES.

Kalim : Went shopping with my badass grandma and somehow left with a Second Hand Valentino (the brand) dress for $50 and a free bracelet one of the employees gave me because ….I actually don’t know.

Also, I got trapped on a really high up indoor water slide with my sister because the water entirely stopped (we learned later the water machine tied to that ride blew up) , and where we were was like a weird slope like between two drops. We couldn’t get back up, and going down was too risky without water bcs we could go splat.

There was like a window ish on the ride, so like a smart 8 year old, I start calling for help at the top of my lungs. My sister (10) also did this. There was this guy who I guess heard us that we nicknamed Chad because he looked like the most stereotypical 2000’s beach movie love interest lifeguard and was dramatically looking around for where the voices were coming from but NEVER LOOKED UP??

Anyway, My sister got us out in the end because she found a hatch and managed to open it, and I shit you not there was a spiral staircase with a gigantic fucking sign reading “DO NOT CLIMB STAIRCASE.”

So obviously, my sister chucks me across the gap onto the staircase and then jumps over herself, and we end up spending another 40 minutes after that fiasco trying to find our parents while i’m pretty sure Chad was trying to find us.

After the 40 minutes we just assumed we were now orphans and went back to where we left our keycard and low and behold our parents had just come back from wherever they had fucked off to.

Also Chad found us and felt super bad, and bought us a smore cake?!? Someone throw him back in time to be his destined role as an extra in Teen Beach Movie. The cake was great though, but that was one hell of an 8th birthday lmao.

Jamil : My friend from India (jokily) Divorced me after my dumbass asked her if Chai was an ingredient used in Chai Tea.

Spoiler Alert : Chai IS THE TEA. Apparently, asking for Chai Tea is the equivalent of saying “Can I have some Tea Tea please.”

Yea safe to say I felt real stupid in that moment.

Epel : My sister once locked me in the bathroom so she could test her new makeup on me. She left for one second and I kid you not I snuck out of the window.

Random bonus : Me and my cousins for some reason ended up roughhousing outside after one of our older cousins weddings, and I judo flipped a whole ass 17 year old man at age 12 and I felt so powerful in that moment.

Also If you saw about the ranch in the previous post, me that gang had an anonymous cookie provider who would leave us two tins of fresh cookies every day around 12ish pm, usually behind the kitchen or outside the equipment shack.

Yes, we tried to catch them once, No, we didn’t succeed. Also nobody wanted to risk loosing cookie privileges, so we didn’t try again.

Rook: Once scared the living shit out of my online friend by texting him “I am now several miles closer to your location.” . He lives in South America, and I happened to be in Florida with a friend, so I thought i’d be funny.

Vil : I was going to a cosplay convention with a friend, and instead of bringing like a normal amount of makeup, my indecisive ass brought basically a whole suitcase worth of it.

Also won a costume competition at my boarding school for Halloween, and wasn’t even aware there was a competition until the year after, when a good half or more of my dormmates asked me to do their makeup because they’d heard I was really good at it.

Idia: Ok, so, long story, but my friend invited me and two mutual friends to see Sweeney Todd on Broadway w/ the og cast. However, I was the only one who didn’t know we were going anywhere, because he thought his mom told my dad we were going to see Sweeney Todd, while my dad thought my friend told me, but also he was suspiciously alluding to it, maybe unintentionally

So I show up in a blue hoodie with a bad pun on it, mildly ripped sweatpants, mismatched socks and bright rainbow crocs. Not very “going to watch a musical about cannibalism and Serial Killers” attire. But it gets worse.

So around the 3/4ths into the first act is when I usually get snacks at musicals or plays, since they’re usually just finished setting up and theres no line, so I’m in and out and don’t miss much.

Well, I did that as usual, and its important to know we had front row balcony seats, because…

I slipped on my friends playbill on the way to my seat, and my fucking left croc went flying down into the seats below us, and hit an older woman in the head right at Sweeney did the first oofing, and the stage lights go red for a moment in this scene.

I felt so bad, and was literally too embarrassed to go get the shoe myself, so one of my friends got it for me. Apparently the lady thought it was somewhat funny (thank fucking goodness)

Ortho : My sister and I were biking once, and found out some reason the coats we had (school merch from field day I think). had the biggest fucking hidden pockets known to man.

So the next time we went out, she for some reason decided to put our dads entire laptop in there.

Also bonus: My friend once invited me over to their house to help with their costume, and when I came over, the costume was literally a gigantic trash can. No, not the actual object, They were literally making a giant trashcan costume.

I helped but still remained mildly confused in the process.

Malleus : I had a good friend who lived next to a graveyard, and sometimes we would just go on nice walks in the graveyard.

Lilia: Another Wilderness one: We were making Pasta, and one of the guys in our group was playing with a large thing of moss, tripped, and the moss got into the fucking pasta.

One guide said “Nature Consequence, we can still eat it” while the other screamed they were going to get fired.

Also, me and a friend were singing bo-burnham on a hike, and for some reason we had this stupid ass idea of making a fake fishing rod called…..

“The Child Catcher.”

(The irony ony of us both being 14 at the time so technically we were children)

We found a good fishing rod like stick and a vine, tied a vine on, and I kid you not we carried that thing for MILES. We also made a fork with a flatly shaped stick and a rock named Reddie.

Yea living in the woods does somethin to ya I gotta say.

Bonus: One of my childhood friends had a very giant dog, and one time we had a sleepover, she was laying infront of the other side of the door when we woke , and because of the way the door was, we couldn’t get through.

So my genius solution was to climb out the window (this was on the second floor) , Cha-Cha real smoothed to the nearest other window, go through there, and lure the dog away with a treat.

It worked.

Silver: Went to this make your own dipped popsicle thing with a good friend of mine, and watched in pure horror as she got a mango popsicle dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in fruity pebbles.

Another one: I was at a Sleepover and there was this tent like thing that was meant for tiny people (aka me, not really it was for toddlers but I was small enough to fit at the time), and at some point in the middle of the night, someone tripped on the tent and it entirely collapsed on me, and not only did I sleep through it, I ended up being the last person to wake up because they all saw the tent collapsed and assumed I was already awake.

Also I was camping once and I rolled away from my tarp and somehow down a road, and my friend said when she found me there was just several butterflies and caterpillars on me. I originally didn’t know but I found a caterpillar on my head that morning and apparently it was poisonous (I was fine and I named him Bob)

Sebek: I was in an escape room with some friends, and I discovered that a key we had gotten in the very beginning worked on another lock, so I did that, and later one of my loud friends finds a key and is SPIRALING because she can’t find what it unlocks for like 30 minutes, and after several minutes I realized, unintentionally slammed my hand on a desk and screamed “OH SHIT.” with zero context.

That experience was actually my first time in a escape room with friends, and not my family or a bunch of drunk strangers in suits + my concerned mother.

Second years : My friends in the priorly mentioned group consisted of who I’ll call N, who was doing 70% of the work, we had R, who was angrily searching for the lock to the key, we had T, the birthday boi, who was randomly making jokes about the 1930s, S, who genuinely forgot he had a key item in his pocket, and A, who dramatically serenaded the paintings after misinterpreting a clue and me, who kept accidentally unlocking shit ahead of time.

Third Years: Prior to the other mentioned event, we had gone to a small improv event that ended up being just us, and the poor guy running it kept giving us scenarios and random conditions which we would absolutely make the craziest shit from.

If I remember correctly, one of the skits was we were supposed to be a school board, and the condition was when someone said an idea, you had to say yes.

The result? a organ harvesting business thats front was a school, and everytime someone got detention, one organ of theirs was sold, and the funds went into funding the biogenetically engineered creation of Hatsune Miku and Cat Boys.

For some reason this skit also led somehow into atomic glitter and cocaine missiles, selling souls on Ebay with express shipping, using Sephora Products and Instagram to spread our propaganda, making meme complications of our crimes, and nuking the Bermuda Triangle.

Ask no questions because I have no answers.

——————————-

Yea thats it for now! Enjoy!

:3

YFFHC IM SO GLAD YOU LIKKKEEEE YOUR FICS ARE A TOTAL INSPO TO ME!

IM A YAPPER SO PREPARE BECAUSE MY ANSWERS ARE LONG AF AND WILL BOUNCE AROUND

My writing may be cooking but my actual conversational self is a kitchen fire.

(Do not let the Aroacespec psychological horror nerd write yandere fics unless you wish for them to present you a four course meal)

ANYWAY HERES MY ANSWERS!

1: Blue works! And She/They/It. Pretty much anything but he.

2: Che’nya as you’ve long since heard me rant before, but fun fact! Che’nya is how I found twst!

Also, as i’ve said before, so PERFECTLY hidden as an op character, leaving the possibility of never actually being able to know he’s around you.

Lilia is also in my favorites! I actually knew nothing about him until I started writing something around when book 7 came out, and he grew on me! I also get to use my historic knowledge when writing him!!!

He’s also so ultimately terrifying? Like, in my opinion, he tops Rook in that regard sheerly because what he lacks in stalkerness he has in knowledge and connections. Also, this man can beat MALLEUS FUCKING DRACONIA in a fight. He’s the perfect goofy goober that can actually commit atrocities and you’d never know.

Speaking of, Malleus is also among my favorites, because DRAGON but also a little bit of a dork. Also, fucking TERRIFYING in this sense that like…you’re cooked if you make a break for it?? Or if you’re like me and have EXTREMELY wonky luck that causes you to almost die in some creative way every week, you’re literally going to end up in the equivalent of bubble wrap.

Also why does nobody take Fae rules into account for Mal and Lilia??? Like our dumbass tells them our real name and they can lowkey puppet us PHYSICALLY?? Among other things.

Rook sheerly got up in my favorites because he never ceases to have me not laughing my ass off or DEATHLY concerned.

He’s also very interesting in the sense that if, hypothetically, you were being hunted, play your cards right, and you might buy yourself time.

I’m mildly crazy and LOVE strategic mind games or mental tomfuckery in general—

. (I may or may not have deadass gotten nerfed by my War Crimes and War Strats teacher from being the strategist for a week because he wanted to give the other team a chance. (My new schools curriculum for classes of our choice is wild before you even say it, we have Archery, Dinosaur History (????) LGBTQ+ History, Cryptozoology, AND I KID YOU NOT MY PRINCIPAL IS NAMED MISS CROWLEY I LITERALLY DIED WHEN I FOUND OUT. I also got extra credit on a creative writing assignment for “accurate depictions of trauma” and my Theater Teacher decided she hated me on sight. I’m literally Spending my first full year back from hell in a madtown send help/jk)

So I actively do think about the odds of escape, how to do so, connections, weaknesses.

Rooks only fucking know weakness is GARLIC. (Learned from Ruggie during beanfest) So he gives me a challenge mentally, all of the above do.

I like Riddle aswell mostly because we are complete opposites (Overbearingly Strict Abusive Mom vs Strict yet nearly Absent Mom core) yet both strict with our ideas of Rules because of that and I’ve already noted down atleast 5 ways I could stump him on rules pre-overblot, mostly via legal things and NRC base rules.

Also outside the norm timeline, especially for horror, he’s EXTREMELY interesting because of the Queen of Hearts Motif.

Now Idia and Ortho? Genius and his no.1 fan/wingman? As a sibling myself, I have a more Jamil + Najimia dynamic with my sister, but I love the take on “Siblings who are super close” with the twist of “also both batshit crazy in their own ways.”

Idia is great for alot of reasons, and admittedly I do get 90% of the gaming references and lingo he says/uses. But also? Literally runs hell??? Kinda??? The insane technology of that world and the talent for it??? The possibilities are endless.

Ortho is more on my goofy goobers list, mostly because his penchant for randomized violence makes me laugh. How do you get a cat down from a tree when you can literally fly? Apparently LAZER BEAM THAT B*TCH ASS TREE DOWN. RIGHT INFRONT OF THE CATS OWNER WHO IS ALSO YOUR BROTHERS TEACHER.

Jade gets an honorable mention because the mindgames go hard, plus he’s so sadistic but once you figure that out it is TOO LATE FOR YOU. Also I lowkey think I would get yoinked because I was forced to live in the mountains of Georgia for a year against my will (LONNGG Story) with a tent for 3 months, then a tarp, a sleeping bag and a dream. The second I drop that info i’m cooked.

Now, some of my goofy goobers?? My sillies?

Ace to start with. Although he’s canonically very smart when he tries, he gets mischaracterized because of of his shenanigans with Deuce, but they are phenomenal entertaining. Also his whole “Haha—Unless..??” shit and seemingly absolute love for the one bed trope is silly. Plus he’s the true most normal teenage boy character in the cast. (Don’t let Trey deceive you that man is NOT normal. Bro is the Tooth Fairy over here.)

Kalim holds a special place in my heart because he is the first character I picked, and its very rare for me to find characters with the similar..idk what to call it?? as me (constantly almost dying, pretending its all cool but actively being terrified something will happen the second you leave the house.) (Me, Kalim, Yuu and Bennett being that one spiderman meme)

He’s also just so sweet. He reminds me of being like…nicely wrapped in honey? Did you know Honey never expires, but it does grow brittle, trapping everything inside it in that gold, slow moving sweetness for eternity?

Finally, Sebek, sheerly because I know I would be the BANE of his existence. I’m not crazy strong or a fast runner but if theres a few things I’m good at its debates, finding loopholes and running mental circles around to prove a contradiction. I also figured out one very simple way of toning down his Malleus-simping while still letting him yap. Just point out the effects he’s having on Malleus’s life, and how he may be making it more difficult for him to make friends.

Also that nobody is legally required to do Jack Shit for him unless they are in Briar Valley. And pointing out that by trying to make everyone move their life for Malleus, he’s effectively isolating him by treating him as if he’s better, making it insanely difficult to casually commune with others, and unintentionally making it seem as if Mal gave those orders to drop everything for him, which in turn would make others think he’s a jerk. They don’t know him personally like Sebek does, nor do they carry the values of their homeland. Therefore Sebek IS usually the first impression. Don’t you realize you’re making his life harder?

Use a mental loop at the end by pointing out that if you/I hypothetically started yelling for every to move around for Leona for example, especially when they aren’t in the Sunset Savanna, wait Sebek him to contradict and state thats foolish, then point out thats EXACTLY what he does with Mal, and let the rest figure itself out.

It’s ok to simp Sebek but don’t make it other people’s problem.

I could go on but now that I’m writing it for myself I realize I may actually mentally shatter him.

Favorite Outfit? Call me basic but Deuce Star Sending and Ortho Fairy Gala on the aesthetic scale. THEY LOOK FUCKING ETHEREAL? And Ortho Fairy Gala IDIA YOU COOKED WITH THAT ONE. On the personal scale : Lilia’s Dorm uni + Spectral Soiree, and Idias Harveston outfit. IDIA WITH HIS HAIR IN A PONYTAIL OR BRAID JUST LOOKS PHENOMENAL. Lilia just looks great in both but that Cape is giving me and Edna Mode a heart attack.

Honorables mention to Beanfest Rook for being one of 3 cards I think Rook looks good in (I beef with his haircut) and Riddles Dorm Uni, If I didn’t want to throw hands over a ALL WHITE FUCKING UNIFORM IN A DORM WITH A SHIT TON OF PAINT???? Also Che’nyas Boots are actually really cool. The detail on them is INSANE.

(Fun fact: If you looked at Glomas Azul from behind, the feathers make a jesters cap shape)

Favorite Candy? UGH AS A CHRONIC SWEETS PERSON I HATE TO CHOOSE BUT:

Chocolate Based: Reese’s or those fancy ass Liquor Chocolate Orb things.

Fruit Based: Hi-Chews and Fruit Tootsie Rolls.

Seasonal: Pumpkin Flavored ANYTHING. The only time I eat pie is Pumpkin pie (I have a vendetta against fruit chunks in dessets) or Peppermint stuff!

So Yea! What about you : D

HDGHGVJJHV I JUST REALIZED WE’RE MOOTS NOW?! I FEEL SO BLESSED BRO YOU LITERALLY INSPIRED ME TO WRITE TWST STUFF

As I’m literally losing my mind over this I’m gifting you this idea from the AU I found your account from (Nightfall) so here we go!

I chose the three characters I see you write the most recently so yea! Enjoy :D

—————-

__________

Memories.

They shape every part of our lives, what we eat, as we remember what we like, what we avoid, as we remember just the opposite. Their are ones that teach you and the ones that leave you smiling in reminiscence.

No matter how far you run, memories eternally follow you. Even a dementia patient retains bits of muscle memory.

And with the single shot of a gun, a good aimed stab to the heart, and years worth of memories can simply…disappear.

The only thing left of their memories within their perspective is pictures and words, now often locked within a phone. An escape to the days of old or simple entertainment anew.

Perhaps this is why Cater Diamond loves to take pictures when he arrives at the cafe, no matter how bloody his hands and suit may be as he walks in.

Dancing around the counter to reach towards you, to pull you in for a quick picture, leaving the blood of someone you never knew on your apron, he snaps a picture. Another as you deliver his overcomplicated order that no matter how filled it is, still remains a black coffee, staining the teeth of those who drink it.

Inviting you to Heartstabyls infamous casino, taking you to an exclusive high ranking area whilst he somehow is “unaware” someone’s memories become no longer only rooms away.

Just focus on him, yea?

Basking in the proximity, yet just as much worrying if one day you’ll be whose smile only remains on the glow of his screen.

__________________

Perhaps the reason is the same for Lilia Vanrouge, as he appears suddenly behind you whilst you try to clean up the cafe, a tap on your shoulder to the left, a tap on your right, and suddenly your twirled around, a laugh unfitting to his appearance echoing through the room as he locks you in a waltz, humming a song nearly lost to time.

Say, dearie? Did you know of the song Daisy Belle? It was made in 1891, almost forgotten if not for it becoming the first synthesized song around 1961 or so by the machine known as an IMB 704. Its quite often used in horror movies now adays.

It goes something like this.

𝐷𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑦, 𝐷𝑎𝑖𝑠𝑦. 𝐺𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑚𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑟 𝑑𝑜...

Calloused hands slip carefully around your waist as he moves you around, slipping the flower just mentioned into your hair, and with your eyes closed, you can’t see the blood stains on it from his little job before this visit.

He picked it at a strange place, one where the red adorning the once pure white flower was spilled.

𝐼'𝑚 ℎ𝑎𝑙𝑓 𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑧𝑦, 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢....

Although you giggle, he means that lyric with all his heart. You may never know of the fate of those who attempted to rob your quaint workplace, but he remembers the feel of a still beating heart clutched in hand.

And you may never know how much he is willing to give for you to remain by his side. He’d raze the city in your name, just say the word.

𝐼𝑡 𝑤𝑜𝑛'𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑎 𝑠𝑡𝑦𝑙𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑔𝑒.

Unless you wanted it to be, of course. He’s the Vice owner of Diasomnia, you know. Money has long since become no object.

Silver may be grown, but he doubts he would mind a new parent.

𝐼 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑎𝑓𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑎 𝑐𝑎𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑔𝑒...

The eyebrow raise he receives at that line proves you well aware of how untrue it is to him, but it’s just how the song goes, love. It was true, once upon a time. The life of poverty is not easily forgotten.

𝐵𝑢𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢'𝑙𝑙 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑡, 𝑢𝑝𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑎𝑡~

A single deft hand dips you down , face still oh so close to those shining red eyes as he lightly brushes his thumb across the area near your eye, a small remainder of blood smearing with it.

𝑂𝑓 𝑎 𝑏𝑖𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡𝑤𝑜~

_______________

One could compare the memories of Jade Leech to the Bathypelagic zone. The darkest place in the ocean where no light reaches. All must glow on its own if it wishes to see.

So then, What exists within memories of Jade Leech?

Only one person truly knows the answer, and that is Jade Leech himself.

His twin comes close, obviously. But they have different tastes, as most twins do.

Unfortunately for you, my dear, you are within his tastes, and have infested his memories, a small shrimp beginning to adapt to the darkness, beginning to glow like that lights of the cafe at night.

No longer afraid or deterred when he asks for a napkin to clean a bloodied revolver, or batting an eye when Floyd joins him on one of his visits, covered in the life of atleast 20 men. Tiredly whipping out your phone to check if whatever plant Jade brought in this time was poisonous.

Staring down the barrel of a gun as a drunken fool attempts to rob this lovely sanctuary, putting on headphones and hiding in the back to tune out the sickening snap of each of the same fool’s bones.

In this Bathypelagic zone, you have begun to glow.

But does that same glow not attract other predators? A small shrimp in comparison to the unseen giants of the sea?

And Jade Leech is, ultimately, selfish. He wants that light for his own. Not just to remember it, but never have the need to do so.

A light, a light just for him in this abyss we call home.

The longest Moray eels are the Thyrsoidea macrurus. They grow to 3.5 meters, or 11.5 inches, but the largest ever recorded is 3.94 meters, or 13 feet. The largest shrimp? Penaeus monodon, 2.5 meters, or 10 inches.

No matter how big you may grow, he has just that extra inch or three, its far more than enough.

Enough for him to be one step ahead.

Enough to wrap himself around each part of your life.

Enough to suffocate any chance of escape.

Enough to keep that light for himself, Keep it hidden from all those grasping for it, so he may never lose the memory of it.

But don’t worry, no matter how hard times may get, the Nightfall will never go out of business. Although it may be relocated to Octavinelles headquarters.

(AGAIN SORRY FOR THE FACT IT LONG AF BUT HERE YOU GO!!! ENJOY!!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!)
