JamiKali

Jamikali is the slash ship between Jamil Viper and Kalim Al-Asim from the Twisted Wonderland fandom.

Canon
Kalim and Jamil hail from the land of Scalding Sands. Kalim is heir to the Al-Asim household, while Jamil's family is a long lineage of servants under the house Asim. Both boys grew together and had a good relation between them. However, Jamil's parents forced him to hold himself back so that he wouldn't over shine his master.

This led to Jamil developing an incomparable hatred towards Kalim, but had to keep his emotions shut so that it would not bring any inconveniences to him or his family. Jamil resented Kalim because he could never be number one even tho he works so hard only for Kalim to receive the recognition he didn't deserve. On the other hand, Kalim was very happy to have a loyal and trusty friend like Jamil by his side, he always compliments him and tells everyone how great of a person Jamil is!

Once Jamil received the acceptance letter from NRC (Night Raven College), he believed it was his chance to gain his freedom and to never hold back from anything or anyone. However, his happiness got cut short when two months after the beginning of the school year, he finds out that Kalim also unknowingly enrolled at NRC as well. This caused him to lose his freedom and the chance of him becoming the House warden of Scarabia in order to still fulfill his duties as Kalim's servant. He later learned from the Headmage that Kalim's admission was due to a very generous donation from Kalim's father that he couldn't refuse.

Chapter 4
Both characters are the main focus of chapter 4. In this chapter, MC and Grimm met Jamil in the kitchen during winter break alongside many scarabia students. Here they learn that Kalim gave the order that all scarabia Students must stay in school during winter break to follow a harsh studying session because Scarabia placed last in both Magift Tournament and midterm exams. During this, Kalim showed very different personalities, he went from cheery and positive to downright bossy and selfish within the spawn of few minutes. With his alternative personality, He gave the order to the other students to lock MC and Grimm in Scarabia, and also forced them to participate in the study regiment.

Fanon
JamiKali is the second most popular ship under the Twisted Wonderland tag on AO3, with 270+ works. JamiKali quickly grew on the fandom due to their closeness and the lore behind Kalim and Jamil. A lot of people like to headcanon that Jamil always liked Kalim, but bottled up his emotions due to their difference in status. Another popular one is that Kalim wants to work harder in order to become better himself, but to also reduce Jamil's work and give him well deserved breaks.

While JamiKali is one of the most popular ships on the fandom, some people feel uncomfortable with it since in canon, Jamil did try to kill Kalim, Azul, the Leech twins, Grimm, and MC when he overblotted. Other reasons as to why the ship might be toxic for some fans, is the power imbalance between both characters and the completely different personalities. That's why fans started to ship both characters with other people, which formed new rare pairs in the fandom! Even if JamiKali is still the most popular by a mile, some of its rivals are AzuJami (Jamil x Azul) for Jamil, and FloKali (Floyd x Kalim) and SilKali (Silver x Kalim) for Kalim respectively.
