Gimme Your Gems 🔫

As promised, here is each dorm with their respective princess! I know there's a solid wall of text for the explaination, so here's the tldr: This is a twst fan school, it is open for any ocs/yuus, just please be sure to mention me in posts relating to it!

couple of extra low-quality gifs from one of my favorite '90s anime :D

just felt like messing around in this style! it's fun to get in there and just really scrunge it all up. >:D there's a lot of mistakes still, but uhhh something something it's about the ✨journey✨

Finally, I can share the cover art I illustrated for Worlds Beyond: A TWST x PKMN Fanbook! 🥳

Check out our carrd to see which shops/conventions will be available to purchase the physical fanbook!

Each contributor may sell merch of their own illustration.

For me, I will be adding the fanbook to my ko-fi store, along with artboard and print of this cover art.

Hopefully before year end! I hope!

I’ll try to have my other merch ready too!

Its purely for fun and nothing serious!

Jade and Floyd for example are complete opposites. Floyd uses a lot of slang and casual speak compared to Jade.

One example. Floyd in his dream was talking about stuff being boring or つまねえ (tsumane) and Silver questions it saying つまらない (tsumaranai) or “it was boring?” It’s a subtle difference but Floyd’s speech is a little more casual and aloof. Which fits his personality.

Jade often uses keigo when he speaks.

Anyone who has learned Japanese knows Keigo is difficult to learn because I don’t think in English there’s an exact equivalent. But Keigo basically is a humble form of speech where the speaker humbles themselves to speak to someone superior to them. If that makes sense? It’s supposed to be insanely polite. I don’t know how to use it well myself. I barely passed the test in class lmao

An example I noticed in book 7 is in Azul’s dream, Jade asked for Azul’s autograph saying “サインをいただきませんか” (sain o itadakimasenka) which is kind of like “May I humbly receive your autograph?” He also often ends his sentences with いたしました (itashimashita) This formal kind of speech I often see in anime with characters that are butlers/maids. But it’s also used at a convenience store when employees talk to a customer.

But for Jade, it makes me laugh cause we know that he’s extremely cunning and not to be easily trusted. So the Keigo speech feels like a false sense of politeness 😭

What do you mean Yuu shot the perfect material for jokes the moment I stopped posting? They really dislike me, huh.
