Anytime Someone Asks Why I Love Trein I Will Direct Them To This Post.

So are they gay or?

May I see the rant on your hc of aces home life pls 🙏

Glady!

(this is Ace's home life mixed with how it affects the main Story and Ace's life in general)

As I mentioned in my Flash HC's thingy his family always do things 'by the book' Ace was raised with the notion that- being successful meant being perfect. In a way it's very similar to the way Riddle was raised. The only thing different is that 1. Riddle's mom is fucking crazy and 2. Riddle was an only child. Ace's brother- Jack (Jack Heart. Get it?) Was very rebellious and most definitely not the favorite. Ace always looked up to Jack since he was the 'Cool older brother' who did everything everyone told him not to do and still managed to succeed even going to a prestigious Highschool and Graduating with honors. (pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere that Ace's brother was well liked by his teachers) Jack always made sure Ace knew there was a life outside of perfection something that Ace took to become who he is now. Jack told Ace "Stand up for what you believe. Even if it makes you look like an outcast or a bitch or even fucking crazy just make sure you stand up and make them know you're not taking shit from anyone." Which contributed to his personality TONS as you can see in chapter 1 of twst where he literally punches Riddle. Speaking of Riddle! Ace is diametrically opposed to Riddle (again chapter 1) but at the same time he's so similar because the only difference is that Ace had a positive/negative influence namely- Jack while Riddle was raised on his own only with his Mother who was... Herself. Riddle had his only 'negative' influence forcefully taken away from him. (Again again chapter 1) Riddle was told that the only way was perfection and didn't have anything to tell him otherwise (guess what? It's in chapter 1) which caused him to be 'perfect'.

Ace fucking hates this. He sees Riddle be exactly what he was before he 'opened his fucking eyes' and realized that perfection isn't perfect and now Riddle is telling him that HES wrong?! That doesnt sit right with Ace and- yeah Ace punches him.

Ace and Jack don't have a very good relationship with their parents. Their mother rarely comes home from her business trips and works(or she left. I forgot.) And their father was distant and disappointed in both of them for not being perfect.

Ace and Jack have a good relationship. Jack will never forget to message his brother about his life, his job, (his lack of bitches-) and Ace will always know he's loved by at least one person in his life.

Authors Note: I was listening to Words fail for the first time during this. Ace is very Golden Child burnout. Like me! Ace's backstory is very inspired by being Riddle's polar opposite while coming from the same roots.

We should use AI better like for Mac and cheese. We need better Mac and cheese PLEASE

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?"

each time I tell you those three words I mean them more and more

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.

My thoughts on Azul:

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.

But the thing is, Azul doesn’t stop at that

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.

So the @whumptober thing was posted and I don't know if I should do headcanons, little drabbles, or like a character analysis centering around the prompt. Or a mix?

I name him... Gerbil

Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you...HIM

Honestly still the best thing out of the TWST manga so far.

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*
