♡. when you came to him and asked of him if he could teach you how to kiss, he sat you down almost immediately. a lovesick grin on his face, that said it all.

♡. “let us start out with the simple moves first yeah? I’ll put my lips on yours and you’ll press yours against mine.” he’d hum as he did just as he said he would.

♡. as you press your lips against his, a spark of excitement clashes into the pools of his core and he leans closer to help guide you through the kiss. his hand on your cheek, moving to the back of your head and pulling you in for a deeper kiss.

♡. he breaks the kiss for a moment, muttering against your lips: “wrap your arms around me, amore, it enhances the intimacy.”

♡. listening to him once again, you wrap your arms around his neck. shifting yourself closer to him. pressing your lips to his.

♡. slowly, without words. without warning. his tongue pokes at the bottom of your lips, and you stiffen out of slight panic for a moment, not knowing what to do.

♡. a deep blush spreads across your face as you hear the small chuckle emit from his throat.

♡. “part your lips baby.” he hums “I will not use tongue yet, it will simply be deepend kisses.”

♡. the second you’ve parted your lips, you feel him pressing his kiss against your lips with his own parted ones. tilting his head and yours to kiss you a little more intimately. passionately.

♡. a little whine slips past your lips at the feeling — it feels so good. his soft lips connected with yours, moving in a gentle, slow rhythm.

♡. at one point when he notices you are losing breath, but losing yourself in the kiss as well. he breaks it and parts with a little, a string of saliva connecting to the two pair of parted lips still facing each other.

♡. “you have to remember to breath caro” he chuckles, admiring the way your lips are beginning to swell slightly.

♡. when he sees the way you’re looking so desperately at him, he can’t help but pull you close again. kissing you, albeit a bit more hungrily than the last he did it.

♡. he savors every little taste, pressing you further against the couch the both of you had been sitting on, until he’s leaning over your form beneath him, laying right there on the couch.

♡. slowly, his hands begin feeling you up, squeezing gently in areas he knows you’re comfortable being touched in before slowly, making his way to ones he hasn’t touched as much, unless it was without your permission.

♡. “can I? please, tell me if I am going too fast.” he’d mutter against your lips and breathe heavily against them. looking straight into your eyes with a heat he hasn’t shown you yet — a look he’s only given you when you were not looking.

♡. “yes — yes you can,”

♡. fem ) and the second you had answered his hands would move down in between your thighs, his skillful fingers running down your clothed slit, before he carefully moves the fabric of your panties to the side. thumb finding your clit as he presses heavy, panting, open mouthed kisses against your lips. circling it gently, and humming as he hears your soft moans.

For Romero AND any other OC you'd like to develop more:🌹🌾 🌿💫 🌺 (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Thank you thank you my dear friend!!! I’d love to answer these for you. In addition to Romero, I did another one for Sophie, though I’m not sure how much of this will all be canon.

These answers also got really long so I’m putting them under a cut lol.

ROMERO

🌹Where in the world does your OC feel most at home? Is there any reason why? If it’s not the place they were born, where were they born? Is there a certain somebody that makes them feel at home wherever they may be? What does home mean to them?

For Romero, home was wherever his family was: his parents and grandparents, his siblings, and his partner Fletcher. They were going to rebuild their lives in Paradise with a new little farm.

Now that they’re gone, his home is with the other people that feel out of place among the Paradisians— people who were newly appointed by Gazali to protect the kingdom in times of dire need. These fellow knights, along with his new friends Will and Dante, are Romero’s new home, and he’d be broken if he lost them.

🌾 Describe your OC through the eyes of someone absolutely head-over-heels in love with them.

This is from the POV of a fellow knight, Alessio.

Everyone else could call Alessio crazy, for all he cared, but he firmly believed that Romero was beautiful. He carried himself like a true warrior, never showing fear to anyone who opposed him.

When Alessio was a boy, he used to love stories about knights and heroes— things that he wished he could be, despite the mutations that made him stand out in any crowd. Romero was everything he wanted in a hero: strong and brave and determined to protect the world, no matter how badly it had treated him.

As Romero took a break from his training, Alessio approached him gently and brushed his clawed fingers along his mask. Romero would flinch whenever anyone else touched it, but not for Alessio. They had seen each other’s scars, and heard each other’s stories. Romero didn’t have to worry about scaring him off with his injury.

Alessio lowered the mask, exposing Romero’s jaw. A large gash ran from his left cheek down to his mouth. The skin was tender and misshapen, cutting his beard off at an awkward angle. Alessio delicately traced his scarred lips and leaned up to kiss him, wrapping his tail around his waist, as though to protect him from the world.

He didn’t care if people called him crazy. Romero was beautiful, inside and out.

🌿What way does your OC show that they care without using words? What way do others show your OC that they’re cared about without using speech?

Romero rarely uses words anyway, so most of his affection is shown through acts of service— he likes doing things for people to make them comfortable.

Will, Dante, Alessio and the rest of the knights know that he enjoys physical affection as well as acts of service. They take care of him and then dote on him when he’s feeling down.

💫What is your favorite fact about this character and why?

Romero has several potential love interests lol. It’s very cute to play with each dynamic and see which ones work best. Honestly my favorites are Will and Dante with Romero, and Romero with Alessio.

🌺What does your OC do to calm down when they’re scared or after a nightmare? Do they have any special comfort items or need to be reassured by a specific person? How do they handle this if they’re alone?

There’s another knight in the group, Pietro. He’s the only one Romero is vulnerable with, for a while. Pietro is just unnaturally optimistic and loving and supportive, and it makes Romero feel like he’s back home. So whenever he has nightmares about losing his family, he heads to Pietro and just listens to him talk for hours.

SOPHIE

🌹Where in the world does your OC feel most at home? Is there any reason why? If it’s not the place they were born, where were they born? Is there a certain somebody that makes them feel at home wherever they may be? What does home mean to them?

Sophie has always felt at home in Paradise, because of the people who cared for her and showed her true love. As curious as she is about her first home and her original parents, she wouldn’t trade her new guardians for anything.

Pedra and Josephine are amazing mothers, and Sophie loves hanging out with them, but if she had to choose one person to be her home, it would be Gazali. They share similar struggles and traumas, and their friendship/mentorship is very sweet because they get to be goofy together all the time.

🌾 Describe your OC through the eyes of someone absolutely head-over-heels in love with them.

(There’s a boy from a neighboring town named Bastian. He and his sister kind of keep to themselves because their town is obsessively devoted to the Celestials. At first, Bastian doesn’t think much of Sophie since she was just some girl chosen by the king to be the kingdom’s successor, but then he meets her and sees how strong and caring she is, and this boy just adores her. Their feelings aren’t very deep until they’re older, though.)

Bastian knew he liked Sophie the moment she accidentally broke his nose. She had apologized profusely for it, even though he had been the one to provoke the fight. He had called her an unworthy bearer of Paradise’s gift, like an absolute idiot.

When she landed that punch, he knew she wasn’t just some stranger-turned-princess. She was a fighter, someone who wouldn’t step down and cower. He had asked her from that moment to spar with him on occasion, and that was how their friendship grew.

It wasn’t until Sophie started caring for his twin sister, Maya, that his feelings started to change. She showed so much compassion to the two of them, who had been abandoned for so long that they forgot what kindness looked like. Bastian had gone from respecting the young princess to admiring her greatly.

Then, when they started learning magic together, when he could see her in her element, the way the kingdom’s magic flowed around her so naturally, the way she used it to fight and defend all at once— that was when Bastian knew these feelings would only grow stronger.

🌿What way does your OC show that they care without using words? What way do others show your OC that they’re cared about without using speech?

Sophie leaves little gifts for all of her guardians and her friends. Bracelets, coats, bags, and any trinkets she finds in the market, they all end up on someone’s desk after a long or stressful day.

Her guardians smother her with affection, lots of hugs and kisses and silly little games of tag, just to give her the childhood that she deserved.

💫What is your favorite fact about this character and why?

Sophie is pretty much the only person who can get Dante and Gazali to stop fighting instantly. They could be ready to duel on the palace grounds, and Sophie would walk by with a cup of soup and they’d stop immediately to ask about her day.

Rio likes to joke that she and Will are so alike, since Will could unintentionally do the same thing with Jason and Henry, distracting them from yelling at fellow employees.

🌺What does your OC do to calm down when they’re scared or after a nightmare? Do they have any special comfort items or need to be reassured by a specific person? How do they handle this if they’re alone?

Sophie likes to run to Gazali after a nightmare because he’ll make her warm food, take her up to the stars above the palace, and tell her stories about Paradise or his old home. If he isn’t around, Sophie has a little red ring that he gave her as a keepsake. When she lived in Bluebrook temporarily, separated from her Paradise family, she would hold the ring close while she slept. Sometimes, she could swear that she heard Gazali or her mothers comforting her.

How would the DOAS guys react if the MC rejected them?

DOAS Guys get rejected by MC :(

Semi-long one, so under the break it goes~

Antonio: He would clear his throat, his eyes flashing with hurt before steeling over once again - to an expression you became intricately familiar with when you first came to the Ventola Estate. "Ah," would be all he could force out at first, and he would look to the floor as he cleared his throat. "Well then. I apologize for the misunderstanding -" He would begin to say your name, but correct himself, his voice wavering only slightly, "...Signora." He would bow his head to you slightly out of respect, "It won't happen again," he would add smoothly, his cold expression finally back to its usual state, and he would leave the room to mull over his thoughts.

Renzo: He would laugh at first, thinking you were just teasing him back as you usually do, but then the realization of what you truly mean would dawn on him and he would become unusually serious. "Oh! Ahaha... gotcha. My mistake." He would do everything he could to avoid looking you in the eyes, but you could swear you saw something shiny on his cheek before he turned away from you. .Not a moment later, he would exclaim "Anyways!" and become his usual joking self, changing the subject -- but you can tell his smile doesn't meet his eyes.

Leonardo: It would seem like his breath was caught in his throat as he carefully examined your features, notably your eyes and lips, as if he worried he would never see you again - as if you would disappear from his world. He would be internally begging to find any trace of doubt in your eyes, hoping to find even a sliver of the love he felt for you reflected back at him. When he doesn't find it, he would mutter one thing: "...Understood." With a small smile, he would turn to leave, and would make it a point to keep his distance from you so as to not make you uncomfortable.

Alessio: He would purse his lips and nod his head a bit, looking away from you as he reaches into his pocket, pulling out his cigarettes. As he leaned against the brick wall, he would light one and take a drag, blowing it away from you and into the open night air. "Ah, well...no worries. I understand, doll." He would give you a soft, dejected smile, but you could hear him mumble under his breath, "As long as whoever you choose makes you happy." From then on, you would notice he keeps his distance and makes things 100% professional, and he would start going out late nights again (something he had not done since you two had begun being close) and even Luca would seem to be going easier on him - though neither would let on why.

Angelo: He would nod and bite his lip regretfully, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Can I ask why?" His voice would be soft and wavering, but it wouldn't break. Should you choose to tell him, he would abide by what you say but work on fixing those things about himself to try again later. If you don't, he would "resign himself to his fate" and assume there is something inherently wrong with him. He would become more and more scarce to see around, and eventually, you would find he had someone take over as your guard completely.

Luca: Almost instantly his cheeks would burn bright red, and he would give you an apologetic smile. "I...I have no idea what to say. I'm sorry...I must have misread the situation." He would try and hide his feelings as to not make you feel guilty, but it would be his fidgeting that would give away his unrest. "...Can we still be friends? Or..." his voice would finally break as he kept up his smile, his eyes glossy, "Would you prefer this be entirely professional?" You know that whatever you choose, you will still be safe in his care - feelings hurt or not.

How would the guys rank eachother? From like their most fav to least fav to hang out with. (If this may contain spoilers- just ignore this ask)

I'll answer as much as I can without revealing too much! Sorry if it's not as close to the ask as you may want~

"Who do you most enjoy hanging out with?"

Antonio: "I don't 'hang out', though I suppose I enjoy gambling with Leonardo from time to time."

Renzo: "Ugh, they're all boring. None of them, if that's an option. Oh, but it's always fun to get a rise out of Angelo~."

Leonardo: "I spend a lot of time alone, and I prefer to keep it that way...all of my free time ends up being dedicated to chasing after some idiot or another, anyways."

Alessio: "Junior is always stuck to my side like a lost puppy, but I much prefer company with a more feminine touch. Why, you want to join me~?"

Angelo: "I used to get along with everyone pretty well, but...ahem. No need to dwell on that. Leonardo is the only one who doesn't really make it his life's goal to bust my balls, so him I guess."

Luca: "Anyone but Alessio -- even Ren! Wait, I take that back...even that sounds like hell."

[snakkiez]

How do the DOAS guys feel about the other LIs? (Can just pick the top 1 or 2 for each if it's too long.)

DOAS Guy's Thoughts on Each Other!

Sorry it took a while to answer this one! I wanted to wait until the Demo was out before getting to it, so here we go! I'll try and keep it short~

Antonio: "My thoughts on the others? Hm...well, I suppose Leo and I get along quite well in comparison to the rest. As for Renzo and Angelo, I wish they would keep their head down and do things properly for once. Other than that...I don't feel very strongly about the rest in matters of personal relations, truth be told. I will ensure all of my men are taken care of, and that's the end of it."

Renzo: "I mean, I don't really care, in all honesty. Antonio needs to get the stick out of his ass, Alessio needs to stop being a rake, and Angelo needs to get his shit together as a whole. I know just about everything that happens here, so I know they all have their fair share of problems. Though, that's none of my business...until they fuck with me, that is."

Leonardo: "What is there to say? I respect Antonio and ensure his orders are followed. Alessio, despite being annoying, spends a lot at my casinos...there isn't much more to it. Business is business, and it's important to stay wary of everyone, regardless. Especially since...ah, nevermind. Forgive me, signora."

Alessio: "Why do we have to talk about them, Doll? You know you're my favorite! ...Ah, fine, I can't stand the puppy dog eyes. Luca is a great kid, never gives me issues and follows orders without complaint...most of the time. Oh, but don't get me wrong - he could never be better than you! Antonio is also competent and worthy of respect...Leo is fun to mess with...uh, not sure what else I can tell ya. Oh, but, between you and I? Be careful around Ren. It ain't my business to say, but just know that everyone's got a dark side. Don't want you caught up in it."

Angelo: "Hah, what? Did they put you up to this? ...No? Yeah, sure, whatever. At the end of the day, I respect the orders of the family and the ranking within. Hopefully they're satisfied with that."

Luca: "Oh, hey! Aren't you full of questions today? Well...I mean, I'm sure all the Signores are alright? I wish Alessio would keep me out of his antics and grow up a bit, but he's also much nicer to work for than some of them...I don't know if I dislike anyone specifically. But, I would say that Antonio and Ren scare me the most...those two are not people to piss off - Alessio had pink underwear for a week and couldn't get rid of the itching powder for even longer! I was stuck doing his laundry for forever..."

Morgan: "I think it's cool you get to stay with some family friends, as long as you're safe. You're safe, right? Anyways, if you need me or if any of them are creeps, let me know and I'll come bust you out! ...What do you mean it wouldn't be easy? Have you met me - I am practically the voice of charisma! Plus, it's not like those people are holding you against your will, right?"

[snakkiez]

Since this was already answered for Leo/Ren - where do the other guys see themselves in 10 years?

Where do the DOAS guys see themselves in 10 years?

"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?"

Antonio: "I would most likely be on the same path as my father...married, and head of the family. That's what's expected. anyway."

Renzo: "Still stuck in his shadow. Don't think I have much of a choice. Whatever."

Leonardo: "I guess that would depend on my use to the Boss. Let's not think about anything grim, though, Signora."

Alessio: "Oh, taking an interest in me? How cute~. I like to live in the now, though...but Leo better watch his back! I might take his number one spot sooner or later."

Angelo: "...Back to who I was. No! Better than who I was. I just have to keep working hard..."

Luca: "Well...I guess here? I would love to still be able to finish my degree though..."

[snakkiez]

Since I asked for Leo and Ren - for the other guys - what do you do for fun?

What do the DOAS guys do for fun?

"What do you do for fun?"

Antonio: "I have to be well versed on a multitude of things, and thus I end up reading even in my free time."

Renzo: "Wouldn't you like to know? All I'm saying is, there's a reason Alessio's boxers are pink now."

Leonardo: "...I don't have a lot of free time, Signora. But, as you know, I often keep up with the paper in the morning to monitor my assets. ...Spending time with you is also enjoyable."

Alessio: "I suppose whatever interests me for the night, doll. Some nights I'll go for a drink or two, or gamble at one of Leo's joints. Why, you want me to spend some time with you~?"

Angelo: "Boxing! I like going to the gym to let out the pent-up stress and stuff. I can teach you, if you want? It might be a good idea for you to learn how to protect yourself."

Luca: "Any time I have to myself is fun, at this point. Though, I really liked that time we cooked together!"

[snakkiez]

If you asked the DOAS guys, "what's your type?" What would they say?

DOAS Guys' Types

"What's your type? And be serious! >:("

Antonio: "I can hardly see how that's important, but if you must know - I like independent, level-headed women who can see the big picture. I, unfortunately, already deal with enough drama queens."

Renzo: "Girls who can take a joke, and who don't act like they're god's gift to the planet. It would be nice if they were shorter than me too...makes them more fun to tease."

Leonardo: "...Someone cute, kind, and intelligent. It would be nice if they showed interest in my hobbies, even if they don't actually care."

Alessio: "I love curves on a woman, there can never be enough! I want something to grab, you know? And -- huh, personality? Oh...well, I s'pose who, y'know...makes me feel needed, for me."

Angelo: "Someone kind and forgiving. I know I'm not perfect, but I'd try to be what they need, if they can accept me - flaws and all."

Luca: "O-oh...I've not thought about it much. I think love and relationships should just form naturally. If I had to pick, I would say anyone who I can laugh with and imagine a happy future with. Oh! Also, no one who'd be into anything non-monogamous or one-night stands...I'm not a fan of those."

👁️👁️ I heard free lore.

Hehehehe, don't mind if I dooooooo

❤️ Rishima and Vespasiano (781)

💔 Rishen (9819)

🌹 Alessio/Rishen/Talisen (781)

❗ Talisen (781)

🍓 (781) trio/Rishen (1311)

🍒Orion/ Rishen (9819)/Alessio (781)/Vespasiano (781)

🧣 Orion (Verseless)

And- oh? Who's this??

💔 Javier (781)

JAVIER?!!! RISHEN'S PAPA 😲

(I know he's not part of the characters you can ask for, but I wanted to include him cause I wanna know if he ever feels guilty for having a kinda strained relationship with Rishen, you're free to ignore this one)

- 🌕

﹙ 🍒. ﹚🌕 anon we love you for giving us the opportunity to RAMBLE and spill all of these lore topics AHHHHHH also you asking for javier?? HELLO??? THANK YOU OMGGGXKDKZKX but we hope that this satisfies that lore hunger !

﹙ ❤️. ﹚who is the most important person to your character? to what lengths would they go to protect this person?

rishima 781 : her kids and husbands, along with her best friend neva are all people that rishima would do anything to make sure that they are safe. if one or multiple of them were threatened by something life-taking. she would immediately jump to either self-sacrifice or find another way to get them out with her. no matter the people she has to step on or hurt, as long as they are safe.

vespasiano 781 : his kids. he would do just about anything to keep them safe - some downright unspeakable things if it meant that they were protected. his brothers and his mothers as well - they mean the world to him and he’d do anything to keep them safe. as for his ( ex ) wife. . . well, she falls under the bracket too. as much as it hurts.

﹙ 💔. ﹚who has your character hurt most? physically or emotionally? how did it feel? do they regret it?

rishen 9819 : who he has hurt the most is not a person per se, but his scythe. for those that are not aware, grim reapers’ scythes are sentient and meant to have a special bod with their wielder. because of rishen’s detest towards his heritage, he flat out ignores his scythe, the scarlet strike. if the scythe has been persistent, he has said some rather hurtful things. he does not really realise that he is hurting it - but when he does, he does feel bad. he pushes this down for the most part, however. the scarlet strike continuously attempts conversation with him — he simply ignores.

javier 781 : who javier has hurt the most is his son, emotionally. something he deeply regrets when he realises just how bad it is. their communication is extremely strained, and they don’t talk much, as rishen strays away from communication so that javier doesn’t say anything he doesn’t want to hear. sometimes he doesn’t realise he is hurting rishen. though he never has the intention to hurt his son’s feelings. there is a part of him that tries to make up for everything he has said and done — yet, another part is so unsure of what to say or do that when he tries to talk to rishen, he ends up getting agitated as words seem to build in his mouth but never get out.

﹙ 🌹. ﹚what does your oc find attractive in other people? are these traits found in their friends and/or romantic partners? are they found in themselves?

alessio 781 : someone that surprises him, and someone that is compassionate and has patience; can put him in his place. attracted to those who are knowledgeable, free-spirited. most are found in rishen.

rishen 781 : INTELLIGENCE. people with good memory. rule breakers. creatives, innovators, someone that believes in him - no matter what it takes. someone who is loyal and reciprocates it. both tal and alessio have some of these tropes.

talisen 781 : likes having someone that is hopeful, but also likes someone who is realistic, he is very attracted to creativity, in any of the wide parts of the spectrum of it, he is attracted to wit, he is attracted to those who are not afraid to break the rules, is very attracted to intelligence, he is attracted to people that are poetry, is very attracted to people who can hold eye contact during serious heart to hearts, is secretly a moronsexual. rishen has some of these tropes . . .

﹙ ❗️. ﹚what was the scariest moment of your character’s life? does it still affect them?

talisen 781 : as a kid, he saw something extremely scary that scarred him for life. watching as something ate something it shouldn’t, hunched over in a corner of the estate, close to his bedroom. it had lunged out at him. . . he doesn’t remember much else though

﹙ 🍓. ﹚does your oc believe in anything? are they superstitious? religious? atheistic? has anything in their past made them this way?

alessio 781 : he does not have any beliefs anymore and is considered an atheist. as a kid he believed in the enigma god - vephine, but he does not any longer. because of his mother’s mixing pot of religions, alessio was taught about a lot of superstitions from a young age. one of the main things he was taught was - if you hear it, no you don’t. if you see it, no you don’t. which he has taken very literally. if alessio thinks that a paranormal being is in his presence, he will completely ignore it and act as though they are not there. ( he’s concerningly good at this too ) which can lead to quite the funny scenes when demons try talking to him.

rishen 781 : for the most part, rishen does not have any beliefs and is considered atheist as well. however he has some faith in a lot of the hindu gods. particularly lakshmi, krishna and kali. this is never shown too much however. the only superstition that he carries with him are also from hindu traditions - such as striking a match if you enter your house late at night to ward off evil spirits. for a time he also believed in the - ‘tie your long hair after midnight’, but no longer believes in this.

talisen 781 : he is extremely athiest. once he believed in the gods, but as time went by it faded the more he spent with mortals. for a reaper, who know of the gods and their existence, he chooses to ignore them. while doing the job of reaping souls

rishen 1311 : he is athiest, she doesn’t believe in anything

﹙ 🍒. ﹚does your character have a best friend? how long have they known each other? what do they like most about each other? how did they meet?

orion : an angel as ancient as the eyes of the abyss has someone else, who is of his age with him most of the time most certainly. his husband and best friend, dakila. whom he has known for mellenia. whenever these two are around one another, you see their deep love for one another really bloom. both in a platonic and romantic sense. and they’ve many stories to tell, when they are together.

rishen 9819 : rishen’s best friend is also his boyfriend - jingyi. they knew each other from the young childhood ages and even grew up together when jingyi’s mother, meng yao, took rishen into the reaper sanctuary to train him in reaperhood. they have always been very close, they are both very similar yet also very different - so they compliment each other quite well. they both love each other’s mind and creativity

alessio 781 : he’s never really been one to have close friends like that. but one person he would consider his best friend is haoyu from verse 9948e. the two met when the 781 trio began visiting 9948e due to talisen’s relations with that zhao family. they have quite the similar humour and also bond over music ( and drugs )

vespasiano 781 : previously, vespasiano’s older brother was his best friend, though now, their relationship is strained. and it seems like there is not any going back. vespasiano keeps family close, and work friends. but none could ever reach the friendship his brother and he had.

﹙ 🎒. ﹚what items does your oc usually carry? do they have a bag or just keep everything in their pockets? do they carry a lot or a little?

orion : nowadays, most of his priced items are not on him. except for one of them. an amulet, one that, when opened, has the picture of his king and god rinfier ( his other husband ) and his best friend dakila ( husband! ) in it. carrying magic of his king in it to aid him back home so that he never gets lost within the darkness of the abyss. it is also important to know, of course, he carries this locket-like-amulet, because his husbands both asked of him to do so. worn beneath all of his armour.

I get that many of them are supposed to be intimidating, but i just wanna wrap Alessio (164) with a blanket and protect him...(maybe also nuzzle if he'd let me) he's so charming too like,,💜

Also, do you guys have a favourite out the characters you made?

Stay safe and take care!🌹❤️❤️

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ᥫ᭡ earth 164 alessio agresta ( emerald mania )

“well I am certainly not one to complain, cariño. perhaps we can do so now? I do need a break, after all. . .” he trails off, his emerald gaze lingering on you before his arms are wrapping around you and he is pulling you down with him.

“so much affection that I do not deserve. . . oh you truly are a treasure,” he nuzzles against your shoulder a bit, squeezing your waist and trying not to be too rough, especially with the affection that you have been having him as of late.

“how about we stay like this for awhile?”

// so pleasant to see you in our inbox! I'm glad that you've taken a liking to emerald, he truly is an interesting character<3 as for the question, howl and I have a particular bias towards 'the trio' ( variants of talisens/jingyis, alessios and rishens) !! they kinda started everything for us haha. anyway, I hope you enjoy your day too! stay safe and happy dear

[valentine-cafe]

I'm good thank you, i hope you are too!! it's so good to see you guys again. I'm so sorry because i got busy and I'm still trying to fight off the stress of sending in asks😭but i revisit your blog very often whenever i can respite that!

Also, all the wiki pictures are really pretty!

I had some questions too (no pressure at all of course) if you happen to have time:

Can you/ will you at some point share more about life/death and the realms they made?

(Due to the last ask), Which characters of yours would you say have a voice kink and which are more likely to cater to their darling possibly having it (too?)

Again wishing you both a lovely day(or night!) Stay safe!!

-🌹♥️♥️

hello mia bella rosa, this ask was in here for a bit we truly apologise for it!

we're really glad that you enjoy the wiki and all of the pictures! we hope that you are doing just as good as when you sent us this ask dearest and that you are enjoying the summer!

while we cannot answer you much on the topic of life and death, and the realms, to assure we do not spoil anything.

life and death are known as the creator gods and they created the nadir, eventually creating zenith, as there was a split-up in between the gods. so that the gods of nadir, would be those who managed death and the soul, whereas those upon zenith were those managing life and order.

as for life and death themselves, they tend to not get involved with most matters

we can, however give you those characters that have voice kinks and would cater to it with their darling:

⊹ ۪ alessio 781

⊹ ۪ rishen 209

⊹ ۪ jìngyí 209

⊹ ۪ alessio 9948e

⊹ ۪ alessio 1311

⊹ ۪ alessio 164

⊹ ۪ talisen 164

⊹ ۪ mèng yáo 9948e

⊹ ۪ valerius

⊹ ۪ rishen 9948e

⊹ ۪ denara 9819

there might be a few more, but here you are with a few of them darling. thank you for this ask, we wish you good health and fortune <3

[valentine-cafe]

Im sorry but i cant nOT ADD how he got emotional, my baby i love him <3 I can't believe i forgot about it, it made me so soft for him

Also since i am sending an extra anyway...can we know more about the bunny? 🥺And the snake? It's not character related but I'm curious

Sorry for sending another ask–

-🌹

⊹ ۪ ࣪ ᥫ᭡ Yes Hàoyú is an emotional bb more than he'd like to let on, he tries to be mysterious but he really isn't 🥺

As for Essio. Essio was, well named after Alessio ( 9948e ) and the bunny himself is throughouly convinced, he is, Alessio 9948e's brother.

Essio also is a bunny that seems dumb ( and most of the time is ) but he is every empathetic bunny and will gladly be of comfort if it means his friends can be cheered up.

Mr. squiggles, being a familiar, can actually talk to yizé - which leads to the two communicating consistently either when yizé brings his snake with him to work or makes him stay back in the estate.

squiggles is also, a sentient living being, who prefers being around the one who possesses him at the time, rather than other's, and may sometimes pretend to be sick when someone else picks him up and wants to cuddle with him.

// and mi cara please do not apologise for sending in second asks! send as many as you'd like - especially if you have questions!

Can i request a mango pudding and best friends to maybe lovers scenario...

Imma be sappy and ask, what if Talisen and reader were really good friends, but at one point reader took him to his favourite place, and held his hands and started speaking in a soft, earnest voice. Telling him things they found beautiful about him-from his heart to his soul to his eyes to his smile, but reader's not sure if he reciprocates them wanting to be by his side, so they can't even look in his eyes...

And then they tell him they understand if that's not what he wants, but managing to lift their gaze so they can give him a little charm of his favourite constellation.

-🌹 no i am not in a sappy mood hush

���Talisen.” you call out, entering the dorm. coat half slung over your right shoulder. the sleeve of your shirt tucked up a bit still, after your previous baking in the afternoon.

you’d grabbed some extra cookies for him too . . . it was not to be helped, you knew he liked them.

the familiar head of long black hair pokes out from the corner of the kitchen. seems he has been just as caught up in his own baking as usual. it makes sense, exams have rolled around. the poor reaper gets stressed and needs something to do to dwindle it.

“ah” he exclaims softly. a bright smile spreading across his face. it was refreshing to have your presence in the room. another artist who lives and admires the canvas of day and poetry by night.

“rose, dearest. come in. i just finished up baking” he greets and waves you inside.

a smile crosses your lips. warmth tittering into each and every corner of your body in such a way that has it all tingling and bubbling for a bit.

your heart picks up but you try to push it away. he’s just a friend. you knew he already had special someone’s. well rishen shared with alessio.

you shared as much love for them in a platonic way as you did for romantic for talisen.

he’d always caught your eye.

since the very first year of university and until now.

he made you feel so very alive.

as the poem he recided for you a few days ago. you felt exactly like the leaves blossoming on the trees in the spring whenever you looked at him. it was hard to hide it at times.

blinking, ears adjusting to the clock ticking. you step forward.

your few seconds of daydreaming felt like hours, days. but you knew you’d have to get out of it. you had a plan!

you wanted to take him out, take the stress off of his shoulders for a while. just relaxing.

“you’re baking?” you asked, feet stepping onto the soft cream tile floor of the kitchen. eyes admiring the plants around the windows and cupboards.

“indeed i am. i decided upon making some foccasia today. it ended up quite big. but i doubt you, alessio or rishen would complain.” he jokes sheepishly. hands on his waist with pride of his new masterpiece.

“you made it look like the mona lisa.” you snort. your joke tugs at his lungs as he tries not laugh when he realises the shape of the foccasia.

“davinci would be proud of you talisen, who just casually makes a perfect replica of the mona lisa on foccasia bread”

you break into laughter with the man the second you see his face cracking up with bubbling amusement.

“surely we should return it to the museum— you have disguised it with bread!”

“no— no no, i am not guilty of such crime. i would never, have faith in me dear!” talisen dramatically exclaims, grabbing onto you in all of his classic, dramatic, theatre student fashion.

you lean against him and grab a fistful of the back of his shirt, laughing into his shoulder.

with a small push the two of you part and wipe tears of laughter away from your eyes. the aftermath of laughing clear in your chuckles that continue to threaten passing the border of laughing once again.

you help him cut up the foccasia and put it into boxes with names on them. one for alessio, one for rishen, one for you and one for himself and your beloved theatre teacher. professor utkarsh.

“are you spoiling utkarsh to get a higher score talisen? that seems like foul play.” you poke at him with a grin.

“me??!! no i would never!” he chuckles at the playful accusation. raising his hands.

“no. actually. . .” he trails off a bit, smiling down at the box with solemn.

“i have begun bringing him food as his daughter has grown sick and his wife has been very busy with latenight shifts, same as him”

you put down your box in your bag. blinking a bit at the news. heart dropping into your tummy and skipping a few beats as you continue to listen.

“— so they have been struggling to keep in stock. i cooked some soup for her as well. to go with the foccasia.” he hums, head turning to look over his shoulder and back at you.

red flushes across your face at the look he gives you and you shake it away immediately.

“that’s really nice of you tal. the world needs more people like you.” you respond. rising from your knees and standing up straight again. you notice the way his maroon eyes follow you as you get up. his hand shooting out to support your arms and back to help you stand up again.

“it is you it deserves more of, dear.” he chuckles. sending you a kind gaze before for the first time in the few minutes you two have conversed, noticing your coat.

“ah. you are still wearing your coat?” he asks, tilting his head.

you blink, remembering the reason you came here once more.

“!! ah right—”

clearing your throat and crossing your arms after slinging your bag over your shoulders again. the soft clinging of trinkets hanging from it chiming out in the dorm and joining the song of the windchimes that hang around.

“yeah! i wanted to invite you out on a little trip. if you’d be up for it. we can go anywhere you’d like.”

you watch as he listens, giving you his undivided attention. before nodding and raising his eyebrows a bit, arms crossing. expression lighting up.

“oh that sounds quite good, i have been itching to get out a bit.” he admits, sighing, while his shoulders slump. chest loosening and relaxing for the first time in this week.

staring out in the air with thought of what to do, or where to go. he makes a few popping noises with his lips. a trait of his you have grown so fond of and used to you barely notice it when he does it.

“how about we go by the café downtown and get some tea and coffee to go and trudge our way to the azelea forest? I know a grove where we can sit in privacy and silence.” he asks, smiling and looking out the window.

“eh—”

a noise leaves him as he notices how it has begun to rain. “ah. . . perhaps not the forest. but! the coffee and tea still sounds good, does it not?”

you give him a little chuckle and nod, looking over at the umbrellas that stand at the entrance of the dorm.

“maybe, we could go be the old observatory, there’s that big overhang. nobody is gonna be there when it’s raining.” you suggest. earning a tilt of his head and a smirk.

your heart flutters again, and you try to shake it off. it’s getting hard to look at him in the eyes whenever he looks at you like that.

soft features turning so mischevious whenever you suggest something he seems to like.

“well. that is a good idea you have gotten there.” with a few steps towards the coat that hangs by the entrance to the kitchen.

you watch as the reaper throws it on and leaves a little quick note for rishen that he has gone out. his hands grabbing an umbrella and leaning against it as he looks back at you with a fond smile.

“wanna play in the rain as we go?” he mumbles excitedly, though loud enough for you to hear. excitement rousing in you and beating like a drum. it’s one of the best feelings you know.

you rush over to him, both hands gripping onto the handles of your backpack. bending over so your hood flips onto your head. while your hand grabs onto an umbrella and pulls it out.

with a giggle or two from the both of you. the lights in the living room are turned off. beauregard is petted and bid farewell and the door is opened, shut and locked.

not many see the tall poet run around chaotically and laughing. unless it is with his other fellow classmate and good friend, takara. or rishen.

none but select few of the wild heart that beats within his chest. even if it slower than any heart on this earth. it runs in his veins, it lives deep in his soul. that chaos that bursts out into millions of beautiful prismatic strings.

you could never get enough of it.

addicting, it was. to watch someone you love and adore get so silly around you in a way they do not in front of most. the feeling is refreshing.

and it was all mutual. you never knew, but. each and every time you would do something that you’d usually shy away from doing around the company of others, but did around him.

he’d feel the exact same way, sit and smile like an idiot and look down at you with shining eyes.

he loved you it was clear. it was hard to know in which way sometimes though.

the raindrops pelted you in the face softly as you stepped out into it. exiting the building.

two umbrellas puff open and beneath them are two friends, wandering towards their favorite café to get some coffee. these walks were always walked in comfortable silence, a bit of talk here and there. but not small talk.

“how were the biochem exams darling?” he’d ask eventually as you hit the corner of the 8th street. the four willow trees greeting the both of you as old friends.

“ah. they were a bit difficult admittedly. definetely harder than last semester’s.” you respond, giving your umbrella a little twirl and watching the raindrops sparkle like crystals hanging from the edges of it. just as talisen’s umbrella.

a part of you wanted to pull your umbrella back to it’s closed state and go beneath his. but you decided against it. it wouldn’t be appropriate. you were just friends, so you looked back ahead of you.

missing the glance from the reaper that had looked at you in genuine yearning to invite.

“i could only imagine. they like to make the students think twice. so i have noticed” he chuckles. “fortunate for you it is not your major.”

“you don’t say.” you chuckle quietly. admiring how the streets darken and lamps turn on because of the rain.

how the nature becomes vibrant as the dust on the leaves of the tree crowns are all washed away and the pollen on the earthy ground.

it was always a comforting thing to step around in the rain with talisen.

“i swear, the professors knew i would get a lower score, one walked over to me and avoided contact. if it wasn’t for rishen poking me i would’ve been sad.” you admitted, looking down at your reflections in the puddles, watching passersbyers walk around in them too.

it was like there was an entirely different world in those puddles, you sometimes longed for.

“if it helps. i got about 40. had my mother still been around, she would have pulled out the mathbooks.” he chuckles lightheartedly. giving you a gentle rub on your shoulder.

you returned a big smile and gave his hand a squeeze with yours. folding your umbrellas together and entering the café and making your way up to the register.

he looks at you with a puzzled look as you walk up with him. giving you a gentle dash, and shaking his head slightly.

“eh? no go sit as i order and wait. i will pay.” he hums and smirks at you. poking your nose gently and watching your face grow red with embarrassment.

yet listening to him. you make your way over to the soft seated chairs and lean into the wood of the backlean. the chair groaning quietly as usual.

“i’d like a rosemary tea, with three pumps of vanilla, milk, and mango.” the reaper states to the barista, watching him note down the order on the notepad. before he points his pencil over to you.

“and the pretty little thing over there?” he chimes out with a smirk, loud enough for you to hear.

you grimace, turning your face away from his direct view and hiding away from costumers looking over in curiosity.

the barista’s sight of you is disrupted by talisen’s torso. maroon eyes glaring down at him with something threatening in his eyes. yet the kind smile remains on his features.

“it is lady, please. and you will have treat that title with respect. she’d like a latte with slight bits of sweetened rose syrup and milk, with a bit of added sugar. thank you” he responds softly. his voice a bit more sweet than usual.

trailing down to look at the barista’s nametag, before looking back up at him.

“Kian.”

with a look of embarrassment and a bit of hidden intimidation, he quickly wanders off to make the order. perfect, that means the two of you can leave quick again and talisen can have you to himself again.

he goes to sit down and looks at you with a smile, chin in his palm.

“ta-li-sen.” you whisper, gripping at the strands of your hair and giving his hair a gently smack. a grin on your face.

“what?” he asks, body tensing up in fake defense.

“he was being an ass! best to give him some of his own medicine.” he chuckles and tugs a strand of your hair behind your ear.

it doesn’t take too long for the drinks to finish, as the minutes pass by and the two of you sit and converse softly and quietly about this week’s exams, and how the end ones are coming up. planning what to do with the group and where to go.

and once you have your coffee, it doesn’t take long for talisen to whisk you away. back out into the rain. umbrellas puffed up once again and protecting you from the rain. though. this time:

“close it.” you hear, and with your eyes sliding up to look at him in confusion, you try to process his words and figure out if you heard right.

“what?”

“close your umbrella. come under mine, it’s big enough. i’ve been wanting to this entire walk. and we’ll almost be at the observatory.” he explains, skillfully balancing his umbrella over his shoulder and shielding him from the rain, as he reaches out to hold your coffee for you.

with a bit of shy hesitation, you hand him the cup and close your umbrella. getting below his as fast as possible so you can take the coffee and help hold the umbrella with him.

the two of you grab around the handle and hold it, your hand warming his usually cold one.

“you just wanted me to hold your hand,” you teased and laugh. only stopping when you notice the way he looks down at you.

“so what if i did?” he asked you softly, tilting his head to the side and looking down at you with a look of curiosity. his usual frown on his face. though you know he’s not sad.

“I—” you hold your breath. and look away.

“I uh. it’s fine, yeah.” you mumble out quickly. earning a chuckle from him. his fingers twitching slightly below yours.

“not to worry darling, i did not mean it in such a way.”

“i know.”

as you reach the overhang of the observatory, talisen closes his umbrella and sits down. twirling his index finger a bit to light up the dark area with some good old orbs of light.

they remind you of the fairy lights that the uni uses whenever the spring festival rolls around.

you sit down next to him, drinking from your coffee.

it’s unusually quiet between the two of you. you wouldn’t be surprised if he could feel the tension in your being.

“what’s going on pretty.” he hums out softly and looks over at you, wrapping a hand around the back of your head and bringing it to his shoulder to wrap you into a hug. something he’s always done when he could sense something was off.

he always urged you to talk about how you felt.

you just weren’t sure if you could with this. would it ruin the friendship? would it be reciprocated? how would rishen and alessio feel?

you put down your coffee and reach for his hands, taking them in yours and shifting your position so that you sit in the spot of grass before him.

his eyes widen with the slightest of wonder. whereas his hands squeeze yours with encouragement.

“you have the most wonderful habit of counting down softly when you are about to finish a class. and you pop your lips whenever you focus, sometimes you purse your lips too. especially when you’re writing.” you begin, looking down at his hands.

it’s hard.

how can you look him in the eyes when you feel like this.

it feels shameful but it feels good and refreshing. such is the deal of the heart, no? ever the tricky friend it can be. when it beats for someone.

“and your eyes light up when you enter the library and inhale the scent of all of the books. the pads of your fingers tracing across the backs of the books in a way that has even them shivering.” you chuckle out, trying to hide the sobs from coming out.

it strains at your voice a bit, but you manage to hide them.

he looks at you and feels his heart beat and drop at the same time, he has a feeling he knows where this is going and he needs to find a way to tell you how things might be after.

but not at all does it mean it will be the end of the two of you, he’ll love you always. he wants you to stay around and he will do everything to make you.

you know it. but you choose to ignore it for the meantime.

“and each and every part of you is so beautiful. you are the moon rebirthed. the calm you bring to the world and the way you make the tides lap at the shores. i’m sure you understand what i mean.”

his breath hitches and he puts his forehead against yours, leaning it against it gently. and you feel your heart stutter a few beats.

warm hands tighten around cold ones.

“and i love all of the flaws and chaos of you, i love all of the love and serenity you give. you make people feel loved, you see the world in a way that nobody else does.” you whisper shakily.

“and you make it feel like a better place when it becomes scary.”

“you’re so beautiful.”

“and i am so in love with you and it scares me.” you mumble, taking in deep breaths. a few tears rushing down your cheeks despite all of your attempts at not having them do so.

but you feel a cold pair of hands wipe them away.

“why does it scare you?” he asks softly.

“because i don’t know if you do. i don’t know if you can.” you sob out, a few of your sentences coming out shaky and huffed.

you watch him lean away and shake his head, sighing deeply before pulling you close to him and pressing a kiss to your temple.

the quiet lingers across the observatory for a bit, before he continues.

“i love you so deeply dear. i always have. whether it is platonic love or that of romantic.” he whispers in your ear. hand gently brushing through your hair to comfort you.

“and though i do not know if we can have this, i shall bring it up with rishen and alessio. because i would love nothing more than to try, my love. i hold love for each and every one of you.” he murmus and smiles, chuckling at the sharp sob you let out.

a quiet hush leaves his lips, soothing your overwhelmed state.

“it is okay, and even if it does not happen. it is alright, and it will pass, and you will still be one of my dearest friends. this friendship cannot and will not dwindle.”

you nod and wipe your tears.

because he was right. regardless of what would happen, you two would still get to see each other. and even if it could sting a bit at first, you also understand on a deeper level. because you know it’s to keep you safe from other things too.

his job as an example, could put you in a bit of a risk of something happen to you.

it’s different with rishen and alessio.

it’s. . . refreshing actually. it feels like something heavy has been lifted off of your chest. you’ve never been more in love with this man, in so many ways. and just having this moment with him? that’s enough for you. because you know.

even as a friend.

there will be many more.

. . .

“oh!” you exclaim quietly, gaining his attention as you take off your backpack and zip it open, grabbing the cookies for him and the gift you got him.

part of the foccasia box almost got out of the bag, but talisen caught it and moved it back in. chuckling softly.

“i have this for you— well, yes the cookies were for all of you, so save some for rishen and alessio!”

ah you know him all too well, don’t you? he had a habit of hogging these cookies. but he’d hold this promise.

his maroon eyes wait for yours to meet his, but they still haven’t.

you slowly but the small giftbox into his hands and take a deep breath. for a moment just lingering on it.

slowly, you look up at him and take in a deep breath.

“yeah and. i got you this, i uh. i hope you like it.” your lips curl into a smile as he takes it in his right hand. fingers opening the box delicately to slowly reveal what is inside.

a little gasp escapes him as he sees the familiar constellation of vilja show itself. the silver made piece attatched to two matching silver chains. small and graceful.

“you got a vilja necklace for me?” he whispers, looking up at you with furrowed brows and teary eyes. the frown on his lips twitching.

you nod, smiling with teary eyes.

“yeah. it’s a late birthday gift. since i never got home in time to give it to you back in april.”

“it’s beautiful” he responds shakily, pressing a kiss to your forehead and pulling you close again in a tight hug.

“thank you.”

“always. talisen. . . i love you.”

“i love you too.”
