Twisted Wonderland and Dice

Okay, look. I will be honest and say that I am very into dice. Like I like looking at pictures of dice on the internet and my brain just goes, "Pretty math rocks go click-clack yes precious."

So, I present to you some dice sets that match the feeling of each dorm, mostly because that's way faster than doing the characters and for personal reasons like some characters wanting to match their dice with their DnD characters.

As you can tell, this would be Heartslabyul dice set, although the white rose would have dripping red paint or tendrils of red encircling the dice itself. There would be black paint on the number sides of the dice, but it would be relatively the same thing in the GIF with a transparent die to let the vibrant colors shine through. The Heartslabyul logo would be on the 20 to reflect this.

Savanaclaw's dice would have a sunset vibe to them with a heavy emphasis on yellow due to the armband. It's very straightforward in terms of color scheme, but there's a little bit of gold mixed in with the yellow-orange feeling to the dice. You could even go another step and make the 20 the Savanaclaw logo with an ombre that matches the dice.

Out of all the dice, Octavinelle would be the easiest to find inspiration for as there's a technique for making tendril-like resin in dice for the Octavinelle touch. While it looks really simple, you could also put imbeds like little fish and shells to reflect the dorm and its underwater origins. Like the other dorms, the 20 would have the Octavinelle logo on it.

If that's too simple, you could go with a lavender-colored die (that has some shimmer) with custom black numbering that looks like tentacles.

I wasn't entirely sure of which dice I wanted for the Scarabia dorm since there were different ways to take it, but I settled on this one.

It's very much a black-red combo with golden sparkles infused. You could even make the numbers gold as to let the whole thing pop.

Another thing that you can do is to take out the golden sparkles entirely and instead use holo-sparkles to make them look more like a diamond since dice are like jewels and shiny. Like all previous dice, the Scarabia dice would have the logo of the dorm on the 20.

When it came to Pomefiores, the first one that came to mind was a two-shelled dice where the inside had a poison apple imbed that was transparent (or a light lavender) and the outer shell was a dark purple with gold lettering.

Then I realized that the above example dice were also a good choice because they gave off that elegant feeling of purple in Pomefiore without being too much. There could also be a golden foil in there to make it look cool too.

And then I remembered that gemstone dice are a thing and would probably be a good choice for Pomefiore. They are also expensive and very luxurious (at least to me).

The 20 face of the die is the Pomefiore logo like all the other sets.

Ignihyde would definitely have metal dice. There's no question about it. They would have metal dice because it's durable, it's heavy, but some people like having that weight to them since it means there's less likelihood of it being unbalanced. Out of all the dorms, they would be the most likely to use the dice in games.

Many of them are in the traditional black and blue of the dorm, although there are those dice sets that have LEDs in transparent dice to make them look like whatever they want. As always, the Ignihyde logo is on the 20 side of the dice.

Diasomnia's dice are in green and black, but the cool thing about their dice is that there's a sphere in the center of the dice that swirls the colors together like the GIF above. It lends itself to a magical feel without it being actual magic.

For the designs, the edges could have thorns on them, but that could make readability questionable, given that you need a transparent/semi-transparent base for the dice and thus can see the other sides with thorns. A way to get around this would be to use a color that's deliberately different from the others like gold. Gold's a safe color for darker colors like green and black.
