I hate this tranny looking faggot. I used to be neutral about him but he acts like he's so much better and mature than everyone despite being a massive fag. He also forces his faggotry on Epel who clearly doesn't want anything to do with his genderspecial shit, he's racist too for scolding him for speaking his harmless dialect, essentially changing what's charming about him. Just because Epel looks like a trap doesn't mean he has to be a fag like you too, Vil.

Outside union riddle and some event freebies, I'm most looking forward to the cards I mentioned unfortunately: both tsum cards, apple boa epel, and gala ortho all of whom have a high chance be released close together. The hot topic lilia card is another one I really want, and another that could end up coming early 2023 if they start releasing the club cards as soon as we get the guest room… At least silver is the last SSR I have my heart set on this year so I can save a little after that.
>>249024Twst is chill if you're ok with missing a bunch of SSRs and flunking exams. SR cards are always either event freebies or drop like crazy in the gacha and there are some super cute ones like ghost marriage lilia, beans day vil, a million halloween cards, etc.

The room is going to be so much fun when it drops! Also looking forward to what anniversary will have in store.

>I'm largely looking forward to birthday cards in the near futureI'm kinda indifferent to the union and birthday boy sets. There are a few I like and it's nice that they're easier to get but overall the styles don't appeal to me. The new ones are fucking adorable though!

And when it comes to pairings, anything with Rook is great
Except somehow Rook/Vil or Rook/Neige idk, it's weird, like he admires them because they're beautiful but I don't think he wants to fuck them Unlike Rook/Floyd, Rook/Ruggie and Rook/Leona because he seems to be more interested in them as people and not as objects of admiration (I know I'm a great mental gymnast).
Another ship I love is literally anyone from the heartslabyul dorm with Riddle, he's adorable and I want to see him being the ultimate short top.
I know he probably spills his spaghetti at the first compliment or whatever but I think he would be a great unexpected topAnd bringing out my old school fujo, yeah, I smoke crack everyday and I like my pairings being kind of unexpected, like Kalim/Jade/Floyd, Azul/Jamil, Vil/Cater, Jack/Vil and Sebek would look cute with Azul.

No. 261452
>>259348I hope that you got Jamil's new card!
Rook is my oshi all the way! I'm a yumejoshi for him, but I won't go on about it as I've already indulged myself too much on that in the husbando threads this week.
I like Rook in hunter/prey relationship dynamics, with characters like Leona, Floyd, and Malleus. I don't think they're very sustainable in the long term, but he himself stated that he's currently unsuited for a committed romantic relationship in the ghost marriage event, as he's still fickle and easily swept up by each new beautiful thing that comes his way. So I can see the exhilaration of that chase working well for him.
I know that Rook/Vil is popular, but due to the aforementioned line, I don't see Rook's commitment to Vil as romantic?
I swear, it's not yumejoshi cope! For Vil, I really like Jack/Vil. I think that at first glance, it wouldn't seem like they'd get along, but their interactions throughout the game show mutual respect and appreciation. (JP event spoilers)
It was so cute when Vil was too pleased to nag Jack after getting called beautiful by him in the Fairy Gala event! And beyond his overblot flashbacks in book 5, Vil seems to have a lot of happy childhood memories surrounding the time when he was friends with Jack, such as the one about playing in the snow. Clearly, I have a lot of feelings about them…! I could go on!
No. 261464
>>261452Jack/Vil is so cute. Love a ship with two characters on the same wavelength who just really like each other, and then Vil being a celebrity gives it all a bit of potential drama to work with.
Also, Jack's line about how wolf beastmen mate for life makes me wonder about wolf culture in general and what kinds of culture clashes you might get in a human/beastman relationship. One of these days I'm going to write a fic about Vil trying to get the local wolf community to take him seriously as Jack's partner.
No. 261667
>>261464Yes! I love how Jack doesn't butt heads with Vil because he a) naturally understands the implied importance of the things Vil is strict about and b) isn't influenced by popular opinion as somebody who is individually headstrong despite knowing when to defer to those he respects (very lone wolf and pack animal of him at the same time). Likewise, Vil consistently shows an affection for the Jack's unique qualities and never seems to get as harsh as he does with others because he knows Jack values balanced diligence and strength in the same way he does, despite manifesting it differently. It's such a nice harmony!
I do think that Vil tends to be higher maintenance when you're in his personal circle because he expects a lot out of those around him, and Jack saying that wolf beastmen stay dedicated to one partner for their entire lives really sealed the deal for me. I can see where their continued childhood friendship turns into a committed longterm romantic relationship from there. Isn't it sweet for a guy like Jack who believes in such lifelong commitment to end up with his childhood friend?
I'd love to read that fic one day, nonna! I always wonder how relationships between different races work in TWST, but I doubt we'll ever find out, haha.

i've only just recently started playing, but i used to play enstars which is a very comparable game imo and it strikes me how different the fanbase is. enstars arguably leans more into the otome aspect than twst does (for a start the producer is canonically female), and yet in the western fanbase there's way more shipping fan content between the boys themselves than self inserts with the producer. meanwhile, twst remains ambiguous with yuus gender (i struggle imagining a female mc in a all boys school though) and yet when i did a cursory check on ao3 its almost all self insert fics with female mcs. the western fanbase seems to be heavily skewed, its really strange considering how fujo adjacent i consider twst to be & how little emphasis they place on the otome aspects

No. 284717
>>284698AYRT, yeah, it's something similar to me too. Vil and Rook have a unique relationship amongst the housewarden-vice housewarden pairs in that it seems less traditionally personal and more about Rook's admiration of Vil as both a fan and an appreciator of his beauty as art. Vil's specific complaints about Rook here and there seal the deal to me in making it seem that their relationship is more coincidental to Rook's general pursuit of beauty, even if he does go to great lengths for him.
Not bashing the ship though, I do totally see the flip side of how its popular through a romantic interpretation. Going based off of my view of their relationship as it stands now, too, I think that it could develop in that direction eventually. After all, Rook did say that it's him as he is currently that makes him unsuited to a committed relationship.
If I'm being honest, the majority of TWST's "flagship" romantic ships don't appeal to me for whatever reason. I'm mroe fond of them as something platonic to grow off of, i.e. Leona's subtle looking after of Ruggie's wellbeing while knowing his hardships or Jamil and Kalim developing into proper friends after years of so much not being expressed on Jamil's end. Idia/Azul is probably the only very popular one I have a strong interest in (Idia being so cringe that even Azul never fathomed his pedigree was so funny. Sycophant arc?)
The game also does do a very thorough job of charting out consistent interactions with fair consideration towards individual personalities/histories, so I'm drawn more to ships that lean on the side of crackshipping.

>>284762i can only speak from my experience playing but i think enstars tries to push the otome aspect a lot, while also catering to the fujos
only somewhat. the boys all have unique interactions with the producer, you'll get a lot of them that want to protect her or joke about dating her etc. there was an event i played called date plan a-z which felt otome-y as fuck.
but despite that the western fanbase definitely feels very fujo, they usually only ship the boys with eachother – so i agree with you there, that is pretty much the point i was making.
i think you're right that the ambiguity of yuu makes self inserters feel more at ease though: i remember when enstars got its english version there were people complaining that you couldn't choose the producers gender and shes explicitly a female lmao. enstars for whatever reason seems to have a lot of aidens playing it.

>>306481The reruns of the phantom bride and now the starsending events actually didn’t rerun at all in japan, a lot of people suspect the reason they’ve returned is because the english server is attempting to catch up with the japanese server and properly time the upcoming big events (masquerade into book 7). Other events like vargas/beans/fairy gala had second parts that were spaced around a year apart like the other nona said. The short answer is some return and some don’t, kek.
Now is a good time to start though, you’ll be here for the first portfest coming likely in august, and then the masquerade event in the fall.

Actually, he was the person I chose at the very beginning of the game based off his design because I resonated with him, but I have a personal vendetta because I don't like the whole technology theme of his dorm and I didn't realize how extensive it was until later on. For Ortho a miracle would have to happen to make me love him because I don't usually like shota/robot characters. He is very cute tho. I fucked up in putting him so low because I still like him…I actually want to beat up Cater.
Also, that confirms I was an idiot for not playing phantom bride. I was even telling myself I'd regret not playing. There is truly no rest for the retards among us.

I never liked the evil queen either and it translates over to his arc (while my bias wants Idia to be a tiny bit more like Hades, though then again being a slight shut-in is a fun contrast to everyone else).
I would warm up to Vil, however, if he does have fun and interesting development in the events consistently even if I don't at all like his looks nor his arc. It's a bit of a bummer that apparently some characters are completely flat in events compared to how they are in the story anyway. Also, picrel unrelated, I just like trash.

You can tell the twsten team are trying harder than the average gacha localization team, it's extremely refreshing.
It's news to me that Jamil is hated by the EN fandom though. Is it because he had the least sexy overblot? The only glaring translation error he had was in his birthday boy vignette but people who don't like him aren't going to be seeing that.

No. 308078
>>308021>>308018There is one glaring translation issue with the EN version of Jamil, which is that they scrubbed all mentions of slavery from Jamil's dialogue.
People who don't like him usually dislike him because they consider him overly bitchy in general, and too mean to Kalim in particular, over what they perceive to be issues that are long settled. When you realize that Jamil and his family are literal slaves, his persisting salt even past the "resolution" of Book 4 makes more sense.
I've even seen people cheering for Leona's "epic own" of Jamil in the most recent Ignihyde book, which is just sad. The perception seems to be that Leona and Jamil have similarly sour lots in life, with Leona coping with things in a more "acceptable" way (sorry for all of the scare quotes). But Leona being a second prince is genuinely not comparable to Jamil apparently coming from generations of slavery.
This scrubbing of unsavory notes from the original text isn't specific to Jamil, by the way. Pomefiore's book may have sucked ass, but Vil's treatment of Epel makes a little more sense when you realize that he's teaching Epel that femininity isn't a liability, pushing back against mildly misogynistic dialogue from Epel. It's not even like Epel was THAT misogynist, so I'm not sure why they scrubbed it.
I'm less knowledgeable about this one, but I've heard that parts of Leona's backstory in his chapter were sanitized as well. As a result, the mental break that caused him to overblot seems a lot more sudden than it actually is with context.

>>308078I've heard this criticism before but with the word slavery having such a strong connotation in english, I think servant was a better choice. Modern day slave owners would prefer to dance around words like slave, slavery, etc. unless they're speaking about slavery in a historical context or they're speaking ill of other slave owners or something. In twst's context, a filthy rich Arab boy and his unenthused "servant," that word carries a similar weight to the term "the help." Imo it would have been perfect if Jamil had stuck with servant up until he OB'd, and then started referring to it as slavery. It's too strong a word to be throwing around a lot. "I'm Kalim and this is my literal slave Jamil! Is there something wrong with slavery?" would make Kalim come across as too retarded for readers to understand where he's coming from kek.

>>308089That's the thing, though? Jamil isn't just unenthused, he's been building up malice towards a position he's been born into and expected to make himself less than for his entire life.
Slavery is a strong word, but it is what it is and it is what makes the most sense for what happened. If he's just a servant, it's a role that he can technically leave freely and it's then largely on him and his own mental limitations that he feels the way he does about it. But the reality of the situation is that Kalim's family literally owns Jamil's family and Jamil is expected to be satisfied with this no matter who he is as an individual. Everything he has is for the service of Kalim, and it's inescapable.
It's not that Kalim doesn't understand that there could be something wrong with the situation, but it's in line with his character to see the best of things and believe the best of things. So of course he buys this image his family and Jamil's family have built of willing servitude to the Al-Asim's when in actuality they're in possession of other human beings. It's more nuanced than just "servant" lends.

>>308098It gets the real issue across for sure but the writers don't want to get into that. The real solution for slavery would be to abolish it, there's no way to get around it. That's why Jamil's problem was always shown as him having to not achieve what he can and cleaning up after Kalim instead of being a possession of him. If the writers said Jamil's problem is that he wants to be a human being instead of a gadget to help a rich kid, they'd have to solve that instead of Kalim being oblivious to Jamil's struggles with having to change his grades and clean up after Kalim's mistakes. Not only would they need to write how Jamil's family would take the fall, it would also tip off Scarabia's dynamic fully if Jamil ended up succeeding and not giving a shit about Kalim from now on (given he's alive and still goes to school). None of the actual issues with slavery were addressed, it was closer to teenager struggles with pressure from parents' expectations than it was to what a slave actually thinks about their owners. So using the word slave with the story being the same, while accurate to real world, would give their story a dynamic that never gets addressed and would make the writers seem like they don't think of slavery as a big deal.
No. 308112
>>308098That's why slave owners prefer to use servant even when in reality their "servants" are indeed slaves that will face harsh repercussions if they attempt to leave; it sugarcoats the severity of the situation. And it's the same thing happening in twst, so it would be more ooc for Kalim to just straight up call Jamil such a negative word instead of the sugarcoated one. I don't believe the person who originally started the slave vs servant discourse was a native English speaker. I always felt like it was a good localisation choice that would unfortunately filter some ESLs, but given that many of them need a VPN to access Twst EN, it being a bit more tailored to the western perception than a word for word translation should come as no surprise.
Tbh my opinion is that the biggest reason why the English fandom has so many issues with mischaracterization is because thats what English fandoms do. They're full of underage tards who lack reading comprehension which leads to them getting filtered alongside ESLs when faced with anything that requires reading between the lines, they insert politics where they don't belong, and they treat their headcanons as gospel. Loud 14 year old he/they/possums spitting the worst takes you've ever seen about colorful anime boys on social media are inescapable. I just run them over.

>>308112 I don't think that
nonny's point was that Kalim should call Kamil a slave. Anyway, I think it's important to note stuff like this: instead of Jamil saying something like his family will suffer, or that if something goes wrong they'll starve and be homeless originally…in English it's complaining that his parents will lecture him or similar lower stakes stuff. Yeah, it's fine if you think the latter is more compelling writing and that only ESL people would find the former to encapsulate his trauma and motivations better, but to me it just seems like the translators did intend to obscure the reality of his situation. Other words like "master" (which has no special historical connotation in the US) were cut out as well. In my opinion the issue is less about "servant/slave" being used or not and more that his reasoning for overblotting seems pettier, and his situation seems less urgent than it actually is.
Also, there's apparently been other instances of other dark elements being removed or watered down. Which is fine with me, but it's weird of you to act like some fans are deranged for finding the original script more to their tastes and ideas of the characters. This game doesn't really give us that much to begin with and

I'd leave it if it were a one-time thing with Jamil, but the localization's repeated interference with proper characterization through sanitization of issues is just annoying. Especially when you can tell that they've done it to diminish wokeoid infighting over which characters have the moral highground… Maybe they didn't want TWST discourse to reach Enstars levels of stupidity but I don't spend time in the fandom so I'd rather just get the the text as originally intended.

If I have 200 pulls as a strict f2p right now and want Port Jack/Masquerade Idia/Dorm Leona, should I pull for Dorm Leona at 1.5 anni or wait til 2nd anni?
Port Jack is just because I like him.
Masquerade Idia is an effort to gather the SSS team for Omni Basic (I'd still need Dorm Kalim and Pom Epel so I'm in the for the long haul here).
Dorm Leona is to complete the Rook meta team, of which I already have all the other units ready and 10/10.
I'm worried about screwing myself over by pulling now just in case I get really bad luck on Jack and Idia's limited banners, but I also haven't rolled in ages and am itching to have a decent Flora card, which would also benefit me in my abysmal Water Basic scores.
What would you do? Pull the trigger? Wait?
No. 308812
>>308805Oh, Mask Idia getting a rerun before Pom Epel comes back is a really good point! I'm less worried about him, in that case…
For Port Jack, notably I do also have Halloween Rook 10/10 to make him into a powerhouse, as well as BB Lilia to buddy for HP UP, no other Idias of note, though. I also have Ruggie, who can duo with him (I currently use Dorm Jack for this purpose).

>>308812dorm jack, ruggie, vil, and leo will get you sss water basic, the water basic meta is that but broom vil and bb riddle. only you can decide if you're confident enough in your luck to go for both. lab idia is fine in a port jack team if you miss mask, hopefully his bro's dorm ssr will come home to boost your damage and duos.

i picked up twst again after not playing for a few months and i swear to god if i have to read the word 'frosh' one more time im gonna ragequit the app and go touch some grass or something. the translation drives me insane. 'hornton' makes me want to kill myself as well, yes i can hear them saying tsunomaru & it's not a bad translation of the literal meaning but jesus christ they couldve chosen something that doesn't make me want to off myself….. the eng translation is a travesty honestly

>>306506ok, finished up with the available content + read a few Japanese vignettes and…I'm confused. what is it that Vil and Cater does that is very compelling? They're interesting guys, but I've grown much more fond of Idia and Rook in comparison.

>>314248I wonder what it'll be like once we catch up, since they definitely seem to be gunning for that.
>>315478Dunno about Cater, but you can still dislike Vil as a character after everything. He's not the modt universally likeable character. I personally used to be his hater because I though book 5 sucked ass and made his motivations sound stupid, but book 6 was an obvious retcon of their messy writing at the time of book 5 (and to be honest, TWST was in a very bad place in general when book 5 released so I don't resent the effort) and I cam out of it liking him. But that doesn't mean everybody will.
Also welcomed to the club of loving Rook!

>>315479you may not like this but actually I like Vil a lot more than Cater, I still feel guilty over getting his halloween SSR on my first roll of the event too kek. Vil can be very enchanting and I love seeing his smile, it's so cathartic. I mostly wish the story took another direction with him. Had no issues with him
trying to murder Neige and I also found what Rook tried to do hilarious so clearly I have no moral compass.
also if you don't mind expounding, how was TWST in a bad place in general around book 5? It'd be nice to know it has picked up recently because I'm used to things gradually worsening over time.
No. 316756
>>316371I wasn't around at the time, but a lot of JP-side fans dropped the game because there was a massive content drought during book 5 due to Disney America suddenly deciding that they need to get involved with TWST and requiring all content to be vetted through them (or so I've heard). Because of the low content output, and then the shit story Pomefiore got as a result of the revisions (and I may be wrong, but I think it was the only main story content they got that year?) people were understandably mad. A lot of Pom fans in particular left at that time as their corner of the fandom got really
toxic because of it.
Maybe a differnt nonna who was around at that time can elaborate.
No. 316789
>>316756As a certified yume who's been playing JP since launch, I can tell you by sheer fanart creation the game has dropped a lot. I'm still sad my favorite yume artists don't seem to draw for the fandom anymore, but I also understand it as the waits for JP were insane during book 5 and 6. Currently it's actually better since we get more then 1 event a year and some main story content. Also in terms of merchandise I see being released, there's almost nothing compared to the sheer amount of merchandise that was sold the first 2 or so years.
What makes it worse is that it's not really anyone's fault from the developer's side, but that and covid really fucked the game over. Not that it still doesn't print money, but it would have kept a lot more of that traction if there hadn't been such a massive drought for so long. It makes me sad, I genuinely love the game and story.

Is it me or most new SSRs won't have vignettes anymore? Getting really suspicious because of some of the clubwear ones lacking them and hope it doesn't become the default.
>>318938an explanation might be that a lot of the more casual players fell off while the thirstier and more unhinged ones increased (not always a bad thing kek except for stories like Rollocide).

>>320692At this point, playing twisted wonderland is basically enjoying the little drops of lore they translate for those who don’t speak a word of Japanese and then living vicariously through fanart and fantasies.
It’s just how I feel about Rook Hunt, like, he has lots of content and cards, but when you only really like
1 single boy, it’s basically always waiting and hoping to get at least a new card that makes you want to keep playing (specially if you’re like me, who never spends money on gacha).
And I don’t hate anyone in the game, I think everyone has their cute moments, but the only reason why I actually try to play is Rook Hunt and his beautiful voice god I love him so fucking much.

>>320692>isn't it a bit stressful being extremely passionate for one, especially for years? I question this too. I used to be a Vilfag for years since the start of the game until his story came out (and Ignihyde's). I had to take a break between Pome's story because there just wasn't anything once I was done theorising about the story and exhausting all the headcanons I could think of about him. Afterwards I stopped being so involved naturally because we get what, one or two event cards per boy in a year? And they're not as impactful as their main stories. There just isn't anything to think about, to create or consume content about after a while. It's like holding onto a relationship after not going out on a date for years and having small talk twice a year lol I think of myself as an unhinged self shipper but even I couldn't hold onto the bits and pieces of crumbs, and new content like events aren't enough to keep me as invested. I don't know if it's just me though. There was a music project I witnessed since its creation and people were making room shrines for characters they barely knew anything about, there wasn't even voice dramas out yet and characters had some people in such a chokehold they bought the one piece of merch there was enough to fill the entire room. I would love to see what their daily life is like when they focus on a single character enough to have breakdowns over them.
