What character combos do you want to sing together? Also, what a non-overblot character would be interesting to have a solo song? I also think it’ll be cool to see if the staff would sing haha.

Neuron activiation

It would be nice if we got more songs with different character combinations, yeah ^^ We could divide by grade level, homerooms, or clubs, since those are also a common categorization or grouping method that Twst uses. (It wouldn't be as feasible to do songs for every possible combination, even if we just limited to pairs like with DUO magic.)

Or maybe solo songs for characters other than the OB boys! NRC students, staff, maybe not parents or minor NPCs but perhaps including RSA students and the Halloweenies. There admittedly might not be enough lore for some of them to have a reflective song, but I think Twst could just take a different direction for these instead of attempting to make every single one super deep.

I'm not sure if Twst is going to be doing more music in the future, so maybe this is a pipe dream. Blazing Jewel very much felt like a "let's celebrate for our 5th anniversary!" thing to me. But hey, they can't stop us from hoping www

I think if I had to pick a few groupings:

Kalim, Lilia, and Cater (They're the Pop/Light Music Club, so I think they deserve at least one song! Plus, with the way its members always talk about how they get no work done and/or have a hard time being on the same track when composing, it kinda makes me curious what a "complete" song by them would sound like.)

Kalim, Silver, and Rook (I want to hear the "light magic trio" (as they're colloquially referred to by the fandom) sing some sparkly song about kindness and good will while the other NRC boys look on in pure disgust.)

Riddle, Cater, Leona, and Chenya (Because they're teased to form a band in Riddle's book 7 dream!)

Leona and Jade (... You know why. BIG BRAINS... I think this one could be framed like a debate or a battle of wits as they exchange lyrics and try to come to a conclusion.)

Riddle and Azul and/or Leona and Jamil (These were the pairings for the trek to Tartarus in book 6!! It would be fun listening to their personalities clash in song.)

And for individual characters:

Rollo (He's a character that rarely ever overtly expresses things outside of a limited range of emotions. And then when he does stray from that limited range, he explodes into intense resentment. I'd like to hear his innermost thoughts and see what he thinks to himself when no one is around, in an OB boy solo style of song.)

Fellow (For no reason other than I really like the upbeat tune of his event's group song and I want to hear something similar.)

Crowley (I wonder if his silliness would carry over to a song or if the song would be darker and more mature, considering the story seems to be hinting that he has a large part in the narrative.)

I briefly mentioned the concept of NRC staff getting songs in this post. I have a general sense of how I envision each song to be, vibes-wise:

Traditional ol' Trein, twisted from the severe Lady Tremaine, would be orchestrated and classical, very well-composed and collected.

Crewel I see as rock or punk-rocky, like how Cruella depicts herself as wild and breaking the mold/social conventions in the live action film of the same name.

Vargas would have an upbeat ballad about himself, something you'd hear a drunken guy belting out in a bar (in the same spirit as Gaston).

Sam I think would have a very theatrical cabaret song, a blend of jazz, swing, R&B, and zydeco to pay homage to Dr. Facilier's New Orleans roots.

Crowly could go one of two ways: either he's deep and dark and grand (related to his unknown machinations), or he's got a silly little bop (which is a reflection of his usual bumbling behavior). No in-between.

About the School

This academy has seven wonders that would make even a raven's feathers stand on end… Or was it nine? Oh my, they come and go every year, so I've forgotten how many we currently have.

We have ghosts who were previously executive chefs from premier hotels on our cafeteria staff. Oh, how much I struggled to recruit them.

About the School Facility

Aren't the paintings of the Great Seven hanging in the Headmage Office spectacular? I make sure to dust the frames so carefully every day with my utmost respect.

About Himself

Do my long glove claws get in my way? Not at all, I can't say I've ever found them to be inconvenient. After all, I am so very dexterous.

[yaaaaaaawn]… Apologies. I was watching Spelldrive on the TV until late last night, and now I cannot stop from yawning.

There was a delicious looking tomato stew on today's menu, so I selected it, only to discover it was habanero flavored! I can't really choke down spicy food, so the moment I took a bite, I couldn't stop the sweat and tears!

Towards the Students

The key to casting magic just as envisioned is imagination. There are even some mages who would draw or write down their thoughts so as to fully bring their magic to life.

Incidents / Memories

Eh? Any progress on a way to send you back home? Now, now, I am always thinking of it, even while eating or sleeping. Oh, come on, of course I haven't forgotten!

A blazing sun and sweet mangos… My vacation in the south was was so fun. Aah, I miss the sound of of the sea breeze.

We had a monster crash the entrance ceremony, and the cafeteria chandelier destroyed… Ah, this year has already been a constant run of trouble.

About School Staff

I often have tea with Trein-sensei. However, his cat hisses at me every time he sees me. I've just never gotten along with cats, you see.

When I let slip to Vargas-sensei that my shoulders felt stiff, he invited me to work out together. He would keep insisting I try, even when I would politely refuse. It's wonderful how motivated he may be, but it is a little troublesome.

Crewel-sensei has a fantastic style sense. I should have him put together a complete look from head to tailfeather.

I wish to make Sam-kun say "Out of stock!" one of these days, but so far, I've failed 1,937 times. Does he have some sort of precognitive abilities, or something?

A/n: NANBAKA IS BACK BABYYY btw whos you fac character ? Mine are samon kenshirou uno jyugo liang nico kojiro ikkaku IV and aqua🤭🤭

⚠️warning⚠️:nooonnee

You hadn't said anything

Absolutely nothing

For you, it was just another normal day. Just another day in Nanba, with the noise, the arguments, Nico watching anime, Uno playing cards, and Rock reading the cafeteria menu… in short, just like always

But Jyugo, he knew

And he'd been thinking about it nonstop for days

He acted strangely all day. Not noisy, not agitated… just nervous, and much calmer and more distant than usual. He disappeared, came back, looked at you, then immediately looked away. Even when you spoke to him, he answered quickly, too quickly

"Jyugo, are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes"

You stared at him,he avoided your gaze,okay veeery suspicious

The day passed, and to be honest, you were starting to get annoyed that no one had remembered your birthday. Even your boyfriend Jyugo had forgotten? Anyway, you decided to take a nap to ease your sadness

But what you didn't know was that no one had forgotten and especially not Jyugo

So you fell asleep in your cell. But as soon as you opened your cell door, you found Jyugo standing in front of you, looking strangely nervous, holding a small, poorly wrapped package

He looked at you, scratched the back of his neck, then looked away

"Uh… happy birthday"

You blinked in surprise

"Jyugo… is this for me?"

He nodded, then held out the gift as if it were the most important thing in the world. Inside, there's a small, handmade beaded bracelet with a note scrawled crookedly

"I wanted your day to be cool you look prettier when you smile. So smile, okay?"

Your heart leaps, even though there's a mistake in every word

"You really wrote that?"

Jyugo blushes furiously, covers his face with one hand, and mumbles a soft,

"Yes"

You gently rest your head against his. At first, he tenses up, just for a second

Then… he relaxes A little

And a little more.Until it feels natural

His hand gently squeezes yours His thumb moves slightly, as if he's unsure what to do, but wants to try anyway

And amidst all the noise around…In this completely chaotic prison…

You're right there. Both of you, together

"Happy birthday," he whispers a second time, more quietly

"I… I love you more than anything, you know"

Then he hugs you tightly. You're even surprised he could be so strong

A/n: It's the funniest and saddest anime at the same time😭😭😭😭😭

⚠️warning⚠️: SPOILLLL

The corridors of Namba tremble under the piercing alarm. Doors rattle, chaos reigns everywhere around you screams, frantic runs, as if the whole world were collapsing in one night

Everyone expects Jyugo, true to himself, to break his chains and flee toward the freedom he's always dreamed of

But he doesn't move

He stands rooted in front of you, handcuffs still tight around his wrists, his eyes shining with an unprecedented glow a new determination, almost frighteningly calm

"You know…" he finally whispers, his voice hesitant for the first time, "I've spent so much time wanting to escape that I've never really thought about what I was leaving behind"

You stare at him, speechless, heart pounding. From the start, you've seen him run, fight, laugh out loud, collapse, then get back up. And you were there, between these walls, following him page after page, hoping for him

He leans slightly toward you, a softer smile than usual stretching his lips

"If I leave, I lose everything I've built here. And above all…" His eyes dive into yours "I lose you"

Your heart skips a beat. The alarm still screams, but the world seems to stop

He sighs, casts one last glance at the wide-open door, at the corridor leading outside. One second of hesitation just one

Then, with a slow gesture, he lets the key to his handcuffs fall to the ground. Not to escape. Not to break anything. Just to remind himself that he is free to choose

"I'm staying," he says, his eyes locked on yours. Not for the prison, not for the rules or the guards, and even less for those former friends

For you. For that silent presence who saw him laugh, fall, get back up, without ever judging

In the days that follow, Jyugo no longer seeks the exit. He seeks you. He stays by your side, because having you near is worth all the escapes in the world. And one quiet night, under the prison's dim lights, he gently takes your hand, whispering, "you know with you, I'm truly free and i love you for that"

This takes place in Book 6, when the overblot boys + Yuu tackles the dungeon run at Styx. Yuu goes with the Pomefiore trio, and I could imagine Riddle being worried, hoping that Yasuho went with him instead.

But it was a smart decision that he didn't, so that he could focus on getting to Idia first and not do something reckless in case Yasuho was in danger.

Visit to the East side Mystery's S shop~ chibi edit

Yes... I never edited (redrew...yes I redrew them all...my lazy b**t) so many chibi... GG the game team staff, for real!

A little side event idea for my Twst staff AU!

Sam brought the staff to the East branch of Mystery’s Shop S, and I really wanted to make a chibi sd sprite edit for this idea (never animating them....such a nightmare....guh)

I imagined them in outfits inspired by Asian fashion elements, but still with my own AU style and little details... hope that is ok!

It is mostly just for fun because I liked the image in my head and fashioooon....and fashion yes!!

I really enjoy putting the staff in other settings like this, outside of their usual place. We need more staff content damnit!

Sam: "Welcome, gentlemen. Today, Mystery’s Shop S is taking a little trip to the East branch."

Vargas: "Hah! A new place, new people, and new energy! I like it already more people to admire my muscles!"

Trein: "I only hope this journey will remain dignified and reasonably calm... Will I find the reliqua I was searching for."

Crewel: "STAY! Do try not to embarrass yourselves. We are representing the shop, not a traveling circus."

Crowley: "As expected of me, I shall naturally bring grace, charm, and prestige to this visit, oh oh oh oh I am but so yasashii"

Book 1, Chapter 7

This man... THIS MAN IS EVERYTHING AND I LOVE HIM! HE'S SUCH A DAD!

Poor Crowley!

His poor hidey-hole!

His poor lunch!
