Chenya: ?/10. He can cook well. Deliciously even. Chenya has that Floyd-like quality of being good with food, although he specifically works his way through vibes and instincts. But he actively chooses to deliver the most weird food possible when asked to cook for the dorm... just so they stop asking him and because the reactions are priceless each rare time. Otherwise, if was to do something for Trey or Riddle, he would still would do a "fun" dish but it's delicious and positively yummy.

Dominic: 7/10. He's one of the best cooks among the brothers, usually because he's the most responsible one if chances happen that Neige can't cook that day. Usually likes to take the flavors to a umami side. Dominic's only weakness is confusing the order of ingredients or preparation, which is why he's stuck with the cooking book on his hands the entire time.

Gran: 8/10. The best one of the group but he only makes soups because it's what Neige personally taught him and it doesn't seem necessary to do anything else. But Gran can turn anything into soup and it will feel like someone came into your house and cleaned everything just right, leaving absolute no mess for you to worry over.

Hop: 5/10. Can cook decently but is easily distracted by the music he listens to while doing stuff. Imagine getting into the kitchen and Hop is performing a one-man-musical of Phantom Of The Opera and there's a pot boiling or a cake burning behind him.

Snick: 6/10. Good cook but he sneezes a lot and, despite the camaraderie from dorm mates, he refuses to let the kitchen spiral into a toxic germ warzone. Bottom line is: Snick doesn't cook much. Lowkey he doesn't like to cook that much either. So, anything to get out of the kitchen is a gem of a excuse!

Shelpy: 3/10. Cooking hazard due to sudden sleepiness, still working with Neige to overcome that. Just like Snick, dislike cooking and would be much more happy if eating was just a easier activity all together. Thinks surviving solely on picked fruits, berries and herbs is better because, in a way, you don't need to cook anything.

Timmy: 7/10. Can cook just as good as Dominic and it's the third option when the formers aren't avaliable. Timmy likes sweets but is forced by society to prepare healthy meals. Compliments are good but avoid doing too much or Timmy will explode.

Toby: ?/?. Okay. Neige tries to teach him to cook (so he doesn't fall behind the others and grows up properly) but after all those years, it's rather unclear if Toby is just naturally prone to disasters or he just does things for the heck of it. Not malicious. Not stupid. Just "what happens when I do this?". Also thinks carbs are little bits of carbon and almost put a spoon in the microwave once.

"Megboy can be the next-"

MAY THE TWST DEVS HEAR YOU FR

He's actually the third guy I'm the most anxious to see, after Neige and Merrylad, bc I need to witness what kind of guy he is!! Like, you can't have any thing related to the icon Megara, the underrated queen, and not expect me to sit idly by!!!!

okay okay, back to seriousness!

I think it's interesting this theory of "order of mentioning", really wish I could verify it 100% just to be sure (I'm the eternal 'this is suspicious' person lol). Bc I feel that Kalim mentioned his royal cousin in a personal story, not the main... but maybe I'm misremembering.

I also feel like Olympus Tech would relate more for Hercules but family relations are already muddy in the movie and Twst likes to take liberties when writing the ways two or more characters know each other (like Neige and Vil are family-independent from one another, meanwhile the Evil Queen was Snow's step-mother and who knows what Trein and Twst!Cinderella will be).

And not to forget the RSA boys are a mix of the Disney protag couple they're basically their sons atp lmao. So will Megboy relate to Idia in a family level, like Hercules is Hades' nephew? Or will his family be related to STYX as in working for them, like Megara had a contract with the underworld? Sorry, I'm getting off topic lol

"And maybe Leona mentioned that there are more Lion beastfolk in the royal family, so maybe Nalad is a distant relative?"

I don't remember where he said that... I never got to read the Afterglow Savanah event </3 or maybe it was very long ago in the main story? But now that's interesting also!

Nalad is another one I just need to know what his deal is, more for peace of mind bc he's becoming this huge equation in the Kingscholar family soap opera in terms of story ideas. Bro could be anything. Family friend, distant relative, no relation whatsoever, completely separated from Twst child!Nala...

So, what do we know? It's 4 event, 7 guys. 2 already went out, there's 5 let. So we could have 2 for Magift, 2 for Mystic Mortar (since it's potion-based, Vil is one of the theorized to be there so maybe Neige comes in this batch) and 1 for Seeker's Gathering.

Either they leave 1 for MM or 1 for SG. Magift is a no-no bc it's the precise event where they need to show the power of friendship and see if gets to be trampled down by NRC new found power of "we need to work together against common enemy" they got on book 7.

"This theory may not hold any water but it’s been bouncing in my head like the dvd logo and I HAD TO TELL THE PEOPLE 🗣️🗣️🗣️"

100/10 expression, only the og get it

Thank you so much for this ask! I love to ramble about these possibilities!! And your theory could hold some water (for me, biased as hell for Megboy, at least lmao)

On Neige and Other Rich Students

Not a lot of people know that Neige and the dwarfs come from a humble upbringing, to what we only know Neige was the caregiver of the house despite being only a child at the time.

Besides that, I always quite liked the idea Neige is for the "little guy", the average person, people in need and etc, bc it brings that Great Depression era that was the most essential thing for Snow White to be a movie hit at the late 30s.

So I can agree that he could feel bothered when seeing people wasting things without a thought or being way too worried with material things. Maybe getting to the point of being stern about it, since it's something he takes seriously?

Enters Minajael

I can see a story with Neige being quite surprised meeting Minajael, either in a mixed grade activity or his first dorm leader meeting (given Mina is a senior), and the amount of gold in his dorm uniform. And thinking "wow, all of that is the per capita of the entire countryside region of Pyroxene/Shaftlands"

Now, again, it's the "these guys must have a better relationship than NRC dorm leaders" idea but I can't help but see both of them talking about the subject and finding a good opportunity to bond over it.

Freedom can mean a lot of things for different people and, among things, wanting to be free to "be yourself" and "do your own thing", not letting "them" (the palace, the law, the industry, the media, the pressure) dictate you, may be something they agree with in different levels and feelings.

I personally hc Minajael to have a feel out of touch moments, mostly basing around some of the famous Jasmine-centric episodes in the 90s series that dealt with that aspect. And just like it, I think it's possible with the right talk he can take that into account, re-evaluate things he never thought about before and see another part of this world he never had access to. So Neige is perfect to have these talks with, given his seemingly understanding nature!

It would be hilarious in an incorrect quote manner any situation where a student throws a fit over losing an expensive thing (they never cared about much in the first place) and Neige in the back like:

Well, to be honest we don't know their personalities that deep yet and all of this is merely speculative, in the hc zone.

But thank you for your interaction!
