#im not mad anon!!! ily thank you for giving me an opportunity to speak abt this

I feel like some fans tend to forget that the tweels have most likely killed people. Rook literally calls Floyd Kills for Thrills and Jade literally says in his bday personal theory that the reason he keeps terrariums is because he gets to decide which creature lives or dies. Also their apologies don’t sound genuine at all??? At least from what I’ve seen in canon

Floyd/Jade after accidentally killing Yuuya: I think I made a Mistake™️ also do you even apologize for an accidental killing??

Hi anon,

While you're right about the above, I personally interpret the canon in that the tweels are not murderers of any sort.

I'm not saying I believe they're good people; Floyd is a hedonist who beats people up for fun, Jade is a sadist with low empathy. But they're also 17-year-old boys in magical high school. Floyd is called Kills for Thrills by Rook, but most of his nicknames aren't literal. Jade likes having control over his terrariums, but cruelty towards bugs and plants doesn't translate over to homicidal tendencies.

Of course, you might be right! They might be killers. Their conversations hint that the North Sea is a harsh environment to live in, and their attitude towards Azul might really be just what they say! If it's not interesting, they might just as well be rid of it.

It's difficult to say anything conclusive about TWST characters. Unlike the typical anime, we don't get a peek into their thoughts, and we don't get flashbacks either. Only jesus Yana Toboso knows whether or not the world of TWST is dark and gritty--Or just a bunch of nasty, stinky clown-ass rats. And she might never tell us.

So I don't think that there's a 'canon' interpretation of these characters. We mold them to what we want or need to see; as long as it makes us happy, there's no right or wrong answer! The concept of TWST being a distinctly immoral world is extremely interesting to explore, and I absolutely love seeing it be written like that! I greatly reccommend the fanfiction Yuu and the Power of Magic for similar content.

But it's just not for me as a creator; it's not for everyone as a consumer, either. So in my AUs, the tweels are mean and beat people up for fun, but... They'd cry over Yuu, if they died. They'd be angry if their friends were hurt. They don't mean it directly when they say they'd abandon Azul.

That makes me happy. You should seek the content that makes you happy, too!

Cheers,

Lav
