I love how it's implied he has an ED for like, two scenes and then it's NOWHERE. Like, hello? Serious mental disorders don't disappear into thin air.
I haven’t really talked about my feelings for TWST characters but I feel strongly about Azul in the way that I very much dislike him.
- Spoilers for Book 3 and maybe 4
- This is all my opinion really but I don’t think it’s super unfounded.
First off, I feel like his game design could have been better. Yes, he looks fine (in my opinion) but I feel like the game creators had so many options in what to do with him. With Jade and Floyd, even in human form they still somehow resemble eels, but there’s no part of Azul’s design that really shows off more of his octopus merman side. (Side comment: I think that the game designers did Octavinelle dirty with their dorm uniforms. It’s literally just a suit with some accessories. Like come on)
Second off, the part that I really dislike is how his character is portrayed. I know that he is based off of Ursula and therefore has to act like her, but I feel like his backstory that we see after his overblot doesn’t really provide a good enough reason for how he turned out like this and how he acts toward other people.
More on the second point - we see Azul to be bullied which pushes him to want to be better and get back at those who made fun of him. I think that’s a reasonable thing to do - as someone who has been bullied, I have definitely thought about what it would be like to get ahead of them and make them regret being mean to me - not in a violent way but in a ‘they realize I’m so much better and more talented’ kinda way.
We see that people are having things taken and we see how Azul begins his contract making and such. But he goes beyond that, he starts to make contracts and screw over people who DIDN’T do anything with him. We know from Book 3 that he ran his anemone-study guide stunt last year as well. None of those kids bullied him for his weight, he simply did it to get ahead and be ‘owed’ something.
What I think happened is that Azul felt good after getting the better of those kids when he was young, and then just continued it. His actions in the TWST timeline can’t be justified by him being bullied in the past because he’s already gone above and beyond for that.
That also pulls out another point - but I (don’t hate me for this) think that Azul’s overblot was the most undeserving. Yes, it’s painful to lose something you worked hard and long for. Yes, initially the trauma of being bullied was what got you on this path. But the way that he freaked out, put people in danger, all for bullying as kid? It doesn’t seem justified enough.
One of the main things I’ve seen people complain that they don’t really like about the game is how it doesn’t really seem like the Overblot Boys get enough of a character arc, as their personalities stay the same. This is also true of Azul. In Book 4, he acts exactly the way that he acts in Book 3, and it annoys me that all these people are going through TRAUMATIZING EVENTS and don’t seem to change, while also the player never gets to see what consequences they get.
Also did we ever see the reason why Azul is very ‘I did this now you owe me’ ‘I can’t accept your help because I’ll be in your debt’??
Anyway yeah, that’s my take on Azul. Pls don’t come at me for it.
If I had a penny for everytime someone in the twst fandom called a teenager abusive or heartless, I'd be fucking filthy rich
Happy 4:15 in the morning. I'm doing flash headcanons for Sexuality. (Authors Note: took a break and made breakfast potatoes. It's now 7:00 am and I have my father's love.)
I may or may not be high so; here we go:
Heartslabyul:
Riddle: he's bi. He insists he's straight but he's lying to himself. You'll get it one day sweetie. Leans more to guys.
Ace: BI. BISEXUAL DISASTER. This man experienced bi panic when he saw Epel and Deuce in a room together. (He thought Epel was a chick...) Also. Acesexual. (get it. Asexual? Acesexual? I'm a comedian.)
Deuce: Gay. His mother is supportive.
Cater: unlabeled. He hates labeling anything about himself. If asked will say he's gay but if you get to know him he'll be honest.
Trey: Pansexual. It's the vibes. Nothing else needs to be said.
Savanaclaw:
Leona: Gay. Would never want a women. Don't be mistaken he greatly respects women he's just not attracted to them. At all.
Jack: Pan. Another man that drinks his respect women juice.
Ruggie: acesexual demi romantic. You have to know him first.
Octavinelle:
Azul: Questioning... He knows he likes men... he's working on it. Just tells people he's gay while he figures it out.
Jade: Gay. Pulls women though. He's polite in rejecting them.
Floyd: Unlabeled. Ask him to give him a label and he'll flip you off.
Scarabia:
Kalim: Asexual Panromantic. The sweetest.
Jamil: Bi. Pulls everyone.
Pomefiore:
Vil: Queer. He's something?
Rook: again. Gay. I don't think this needs to be explained.
Epel: questioning
Ignihyde:
Idia: Gay. He doesn't really care though. he just knows.
Ortho: Ortho doesn't know yet. Idia explained LGBTQ stuff to Ortho (since a lot of people on campus are queer) but Ortho really young so he doesn't really think about it. (Also. Robot)
Diasomnia:
Malleus: He's clearly gay but Lilia hadn't given him the talk.
Silver: I would say Malleus's applies to Silver but Silver is Bi.
Sebek: Internalized Homophobia. It's okay for other people to be gay just not him. Anyways Gay.
Lilia: The original gay. All gays evolved from him.
Staff:
Crowley: Aroace. 'Ew romance' (he says that everytime he catches students making out in odd places)
Crewel: Gay. And extremely supportive.
Trein: Y'know what. I'm going to be brave here. Token straight. Ally.
Vargas: Bi. Incredibly Bi.
Sam: Gay. Gay black man. (Authors Note: met a black gay once during an open dance thing and he hyped me up the entire time. He had the coolest pride baseball jacket thing? It has a rainbow on it. Dee if you're out there I love you <3.)
Other:
Lucius: A... Cat?
Neige: Pansexual. He has the pan colours.
Che'nya: A... Gay Cat?
Najma: that is a LESBIAN. Probably the most similar character to me! So she's a lesbian.
Marja: Ally! You go grandma!
Cheka: Cheka doesn't know much about gay people... He asked dad but he just said 'Oh yeah. Leona's gay!' Cheka doesn't know what that means.
Authors Note: According to the wiki; Neige is taller than Vil. NEIGE IS 6,3. let that sink in. 6,3. That's not possible. That's a fucking lie. These guys are SKYSCRAPERS. Anyways in the wiki it also says that Vil wears 13 CENTIMETER HEELS? That's like. 5-6 inches. Which is probably why Vil looks taller than Neige in the story...
Funniest thing I've seen all day
I actually had completely forgotten I'd drawn this lmao
imagine the most meanspirited, unlikeable, rude, bitter, self centered, negative person you can think of. not a rapist, not a murderer, not an abuser. just a charmless, tactless, dyed in the wool asshole you wouldn't want to spend two seconds with. now assume they get sick, not with the flu, but with a long term, serious illness that limits their ability to provide for themself. a society in which that person is left to die alone because nobody likes them on a personal level is a failed society.

Authors Note: I didn't know any other love interests besides Malleus and Idia soooo
Uhhhh How TF am I going to choose which character to do for the whumptober prompts? I'm indecisive help.
(the first prompt is Safety Net/ Swooning/ "How many fingers am I holding up?"
HI HI IM IDIA/AZUL/JAMIL ASK ANON AGAIN the hcs you made are so cute like. Acsflmffrd actually. Also yes I LOVE AQUARIUM FROM AO3 i discovered it a couple weeks ago, and the amount of times ive reread my fav chapters. delicious MM
if y dont mind me asking again.. can i ask for vil/jack? maybe i havent been looking hard enough but this seems like more of a rare pair, which surprises me because the potential is SO THERE, beauty and the beast vibes are insane. yeah srrey for rambling AHAhaha
AHHHH OMG I FOUND YOUUUU
I was so worried you would never see my post :(((
Anyways I won't be doing this as a romantic pairing since Vil is Canonically 18 and Jack is 16 which makes it Illegal:( But I'll do them Platonically!
(I operate by the motto: If the grades don't touch. Neither do you.)
Headcanons!
It's canon that they were childhood friends so-
They built Snowman together every time it snowed regardless of how tiny the snowman ended up
Vil helped teach Jack's lil sister how to catch fireflies and she laughed like the baby laugh babies do and it was the cutest thing EVER(totally not based on my experiences)
Jack was Vil's little protector.
Vil did not need protecting.
Eric Venue(Vil's father) was like Jacks second father.
Eric was always there after a long day in the snow with two piping hot cups of cocoa
Nowadays Jack and Vil and a little distant but they've stayed close
They meet up every morning to run together (Canon)
Vil helps Jack with schoolwork whenever he needs it
Vil comes over to Savanaclaw and once he leaves Ruggie is just like "So who's your friend! He was so sweet😊"
Jack was flabbergasted.
Apparently since Ruggie grew up in the slums he's never seen any of Vil's movies.
Leona hates it.
They're so besties coded
(Authors Note: Sorry I couldn't do it romantically it just makes me uncomfortable :( )
Ichinose: I ✨shoplifted✨
Karuizawa: I was ✨bullied✨
Literally anyone: I have ✨trauma✨
Ayanokoji knowing damn well he was never shown any sort of love as a child, forced to train to beat adults as a child, literally treated as a lab rat: ...Im so sorry for you.
A U T I S M
(people with autism can't understand hidden meanings so when someone says 'its hot on the bottom' and they really mean 'grab it by the handles' autistic people can't understand that)
(I love explaining things, let me have this)
Denzel: It's hot on the bottom, don't drop it..
Ace: *Reaches forward*
Riddle: *Sighs, shaking his head*
Denzel: No! It's hot on the bottom...
Ace: *Reaches forward again*
Trey: *Chuckles* Ace-
Denzel: *Moves his hands away* ITS HOT ON THE BOTTOM!!!!!
Denzel: *Holds the pan out*
Ace: *Reaches for the bottom*
Denzel: *Stares with wide eyes*
Maria: *Giggles*
Deuce: *Sighs* I'll take it..
Denzel: *Passes it to Deuce*
Deuce: *Takes the pan by the handles, carrying it away*
