Prompt: Couples will evidently begin to mimic their better half after some time. What traits do you steal from him, and vice versa? Fandom: Twisted Wonderland Characters: Everyone - because I want to and I’m amidst fleshing out all my Yuu/Character dynamics + designs Format: Headcannons. Masterlist: LinkedUP Parts: Heartslabyul (Here) | Savanaclaw | Octavinelle | Scarabia | Pomefiore | Ignihyde | Diasomnia A/N: Putting all my brain rot from my notes into something cohesive. Contrary to my love for ripping your hearts out, I've come with some fluff this time around. BTW you may or may not already do things mentioned - I write my works with a specific Yuu in mind for each character so this is based on them. Just a reminder.

Habits you steal:

Plan-Books (Inherited) : Riddle habitually carries a planner with all his tasks. A physical one, not an app in his cell phone like most students choose. You find it easier to manage and swap to paper-and-pen alternatives at his recommendation.

Tidiness (Inherited): Riddle is a nit-pickier when it comes to physical presentation. His habits of pressing his uniform, laying his clothes out every night, and dressing conservatively rub off. He has a point - ironed trousers do make a difference. Every morning he will redo your uniform tie. It's never knotted to his 'standard', and is his preferred excuse to greet you before class.

"Now, isn't that better? Surely you are more comfortable in ironed linens than those rags you'd been wearing as pajamas. You seriously found them lying in Ramshackle? Were you not given an allowance to buy basic needs? Ridiculous! The Headmaster's irresponsibility holds no bounds!" <- Utterly appalled that you've been sleeping in century-old robes. He supplies you with seven sets of pajamas, a spare uniform, and an iron + board for Ramshackle. All after reaming the Headmaster for neglect in the last dorm-head meeting - either Crowley coughed up the marks or Riddle will supply from his own bank. Seven have mercy if he chooses to become a lawyer instead of a doctor.

No Heels (Developed): Riddle has a height complex. He won't make a show of it, but you wearing heels does emasculate him. Especially if you're already taller naturally. For his sake, you choose to slay your outfits in flats.

"Are those new loafers? Oh - no, they're lovely. The embroidery is exquisite and I can see why Pomefiore's Housewarden models for their brand. I merely thought you preferred the heeled saddle-shoes we saw during the past weekend trip. I must have been mistaken. Never mind me. You look wonderful."

Playing Brain Teasers (Inherited): Riddle has this thing with memory - you don't know if he's really into preventing old-age Alzheimer's or what. He carries a book of teaser games like Sudoku, etc. for when he has downtime and you eventually get into them too.

"Oh! My Rose, would you care to join me for lunch? Trey's siblings recently mailed in a large collection of cross-words. You'll find they are both educational and entertaining - hm? I do not seem the 'type' for word-games? I assure you, even I can relax on occasion. There is no need to look so surprised." <- Riddle's been making a grand effort to do things he enjoys and become more personable. Trey's siblings did not send the collection. Riddle went into town and picked it out on his own. He also found a book on organizing excursions since he's big on quality time. He is dead-set on not being a neglectful or 'boring' partner.

Swear Jar (Developed): Tired of Riddle collaring Ace for his vulgar tongue, you suggest a Heartslabyul swear jar. When the jar gets filled, the money can be used to fund things like study materials and renovations for the dorm. Riddle liked this idea, but now implements it on anyone who sets foot in the Heartslabyul. Considering you spend most of your time there, you've had to develop a vast vocabulary beyond swearing. Oh - you also unironically use the word 'fiddlesticks' now.

Habits he steals:

Useless Expenses (Inherited): You are an enabler without a doubt. Riddle has always functioned with the bare bones - with function and efficiency being the number one priority. Ever so slowly - you've spoiled him with aesthetically pleasing stationary. At first all the needless purchases felt redundant - why buy the pillowcases with flowers when plain white is cheaper? You can invest in a higher quality this way. Yet you've ruined him with gifts that he had no choice but to use. Now he needs to buy the pens with little hedgehogs on them because studying doesn't feel the same with a plain ballpoint.

Slang Dictionary (Developed): With each passing day, all the students in Heartslabyul get more creative at bending the rules. That includes you. Riddle takes it upon himself to carry a 'little-black-book' full of all the sang words he is unfamiliar with. He does want to be a bit more 'hip' to understand you more, but at the same time he wants to bust any student being a smart-mouth. It's an ongoing battle *sigh*.

"Apologies, could you repeat that term for me? Surely it must be relevant to my lecture if you and Ace are whispering. 'Let him cook'? Do you think we are in a culinary lecture?! Have you not been listening to - ah. So it's in reference to letting me finish before interrupting...One moment. I need to make a note."

Chewing Gum (Developed): This is an ode to psychology. In short, eating is tied to a person's fight-or-flight. Instincts dictate that our bodies need to be in a calm state to eat comfortably. One day when Riddle was at his wits end, you tossed him a pack of sugarless gum and told him to chew. Disregarding Trey's unholy dental screeching, Riddle develops a gum dependence for when he's stressed out. On the bright side, his jaw has never been so sharp.

“Mimicry? You must be mistaken. Even if my influence has affected their person, surely there are only positive developments” == Riddle denies any changes if confronted. In truth, he’s well aware of how much you’ve helped him grow. It’s the opposite accusation that spikes concern. Riddle does not want others thinking you’re a mini-version of him. Rumors are not kind and neither is his current reputation. Making those amends is his burden to bare. He is flattered to see you paying attention to his mannerisms, and secretly proud that your bond is strong enough to affect the psyche.

Habits you steal:

Whistling (Inherited): Trey whistles while working in the kitchen or doing general chores around the dorm. He's not very loud with it, so not may students are bothered. Since you laze about in his shadow the tunes he goes through do become repetitive. Now you do the same when cleaning up Ramshackle. Grim wants to knock you both out because he can't take it anymore.

"Ah -- How'd you know it was me in here? Just because I bake for the un-birthday parties doesn't mean I live in the kitchen, you know. My whistling? Huh. Never thought that would be my calling card but there are worse things, haha"

Head-Scratching (Inherited): Trey's got a habit of scratching the back of his head when he's uncomfortable or nervous. That, or rubbing at the nape of his neck while adverting eye contact. You start doing this too whenever you're being scolded or put in a tough situation.

Dental Hygiene (Inherited): By far the most obvious shared trait. Trey enforces his dental habits onto everyone- you are no exception. You now own four different kinds of floss, two toothbrushes (one being electric), and have a strict hygiene routine. Your pearly whites have never been so clean. Eventually you become somewhat of a secondary enforcer, policing anyone who sleeps over your dorm to take care of themselves before bed. All of Heartslabyul learns that there is no going back when you scold Riddle for not brushing after his teatime tart, and live to tell the tale.

"Hey - uh, weird question? Were you handing out floss to the Spelldrive Team yesterday? Seriously? I though Grim was pulling my leg - oh, no! It's not weird at all! Those guys should have a better routine for all the meat they eat when bulking. I'm just shocked you got through to them." <- Very proud. Mildly cocky. He's been itching to get those negligent jocks to floss after their banquets his entire tenure, but steered away from that conflict like the plague. Thank you for making his dreams come true. Now if you could maybe get them to stop picking their gums with toothpicks?

Habits he steals:

Overbuying Food (Developed): Being a baker's son, Trey's good with finances and money. He's also meticulous with the ingredients he purchases for his bakes. You are not. You go to Sam's shop, buy whatever is on sale, and then bring it back home to improvise. This ends poorly more often than not, and behold! Trey has two Ramshackle sluggers snooping around his kitchen for eats. This is unpredictable and therefore he now never knows what amount to buy. You've ruined him.

Phone Calls (Developed): Texting is easier. Especially since phone calls can be a commitment that Trey dislikes being wrapped up in. Whenever Cater's name pops up as the caller, Trey knows he's getting an ear full. The thing is that you never. answer. your. phone. Either the text gets lumped in with the hundreds of missed messages you have, or Grim stole your cell to play mobile games. So Trey gives up and only ever calls. Either Grim will answer or you'll pick up thinking it's the snooze of your alarm.

"Hello? Prefect, where are you? It's me, Trey. Just calling to see if you're still coming to the Un-Birthday party? Riddle's getting a bit nervous since the schedule's set for the next hour. Grim's already here with Ace and Deuce - uh, want Cater to send a double to pick you up? I have a sinking feeling that you're asleep...Call me? Please?" <- He was correct. You called back not a moment after, half-asleep and hauling ass not to be late.

Speaking in Propositions (Inherited): Trey's normally good at keeping neutrality in a conversation, but getting a clear answer out of Yuu you is like solving a rubix cube. Either it's easy and instant, or a long game. Eventually your habit of indecisiveness rubs off on him and he asks questions more than answers them. Evidently this gets his younger classmen to stop asking for favors unless they really need to.

“Aha - really? I didn’t notice at all. Okay. Okay, I picked up on a few hints. What’s so wrong with them taking after me? It’s cute, right?” == Trey is the observant sort that picks up on his influence quickly. Not just anyone carries floss in their pocket at all times - and the looks from his dorm-mates when you offer some up is enough for the realization to click. Trey’s used to playing the respectable sort, and finds it endearing that you’re taking his good notes to heart. In truth, most of Trey’s mimicry is intentional. He’s a flexible guy who doesn’t mind altering his habits to fit your needs. Easier this way, y’know?

Habits you steal:

Speaking in Acronyms(Inherited): Now this is scary. The first time it happened, you had to take a pause and just re-evaluate your entire life. You don't use them nearly as often as Cater does, but somewhere along the line your brain must have rewired to speak in internet lingo. O-M-G you're TOTALLY twinning with him right now, period :)

Nicknames (Inherited): Again, frightening. You once swore against ever calling him Cay-Cay. It isn't very slay-slay. Yet you can only hear him use nicknames for so long until you're unconsciously calling people by them too. Especially since he's always dishing gossip. It starts in your head, which is fine. It's not like they know. Then you call Lilia 'Lils' and that old fart is just grinning behind his sleeve because ohoho~ young love <3

"Did you just- AHA! OMG DO IT AGAIN?! Wait, gotta get my camera out for this - wha? Oh, that's totes not fair! C'mon. Call me Cay-Cay. Just once! I won't even post it to Magicam, please? Lils won't believe me without proof! Pleasssssseeeee - " <- He actually doesn't want you to call him Cay-Cay all the time. Cater likes you using his given name, since it's more personal. Although the way it obviously slipped out on accident is just too cute to ignore.

Reality TV (Inherited): At first you don't like the gossip. It's cheesy, a bit annoying, and the shaky camera-work for nearly every show is headache inducing. Cater likes his dose of drama in his free-time, and Ramshackle has a tv that no one is using. It starts with him watching while you do other things around the dorm. Yet each time you pass the living area, you take longer to leave. Lingering around like one of the ghosts. Then he pulls you in with snacks and starts giving the low-down of what's going on, pulling out a bottle of tangerine shimmer polish to paint your nails. It's just one episode, watch it for him? Please? Oh no. No. No. Suddenly you're invested in who's the baby-daddy of little Ricky and what Chantel is going to do because her sister just lost the house to foreclosure.

"#KingdomOfDeadbeats - am I right? Ugh. I'm so glad we met if that's the dating scene back home...What?! I know it isn't real! Don't be a dummy, I was just joking! Ah! Stop! Don't hit me!" <- Half-hearted jokes about going on one of those talk-shows one day. You're an alien, after all - imagine the juicy drama and views his account would get from doing an interview? It's all jokes though. Cater likes spilling the tea, but hates being it. Don't ever abandon him and go out for milk though, kay? He doesn't want to pay Grim's child support. Otherwise he might have no choice smh

Habits he steals:

Phone/Web Games (Inherited): Cater's phone is mainly full of social media. He's not too into the gaming scene, it's not his peeps y'know? Alas, you download a few dress-up games and one MMO on his phone. First off - props on getting his phone. That's Cay-Cay's lifeline and not just anyone gets to play with it. Pray tell - what is this Wonderstar Planet (props if you know what is being ref.) and how can he become the most influential digital streamer on it? Congrats. He's addicted.

"Who's this Muscle Red and why's he bombing our raid - AH! He just tea-bagged me! So not cool...Prefect? STOP LAUGHING WE HAVE BETS ON THIS MATCH! There goes my collab opportunity, big fail" <- Muscle Red continues to make an appearance. Eventually he becomes Cater's official rival on stream, and Lils is all to invested in the tea cater drops during club meets. Side note. You're the one who gave 'muscle red' Cater's domain code. The lore thickens.

Internet Caution (Developed): This goes without saying, but Cater's well-known in the Magicam scene. He's very forward and knows his way around using charisma. Since you're not in the scene as much, he becomes more cautious of where and when he does streams. The change is so subtle that only the most observant people will pick up on it - but Cay-Cay doesn't want any creepos popping in if y'know what I'm saying. His sisters were the ones to instigate this change.

“Awe~ SRSLY?! That’s fresh news to my ears but good, right? Ne, are there any clips or pics? I need my evidence, y’see. Especially if my cutie is off taking notes from their one and only. C’mon, spill the tea!” == Cheeky Cater is well aware of what’s happening. He’d humor anyone out for some light teasing - after all, he isn’t by your side at all hours. His walls are probably the second most difficult in all of campus to bypass, so he’s both sweetened and nerved to see you picking up on his mannerisms. That’s proof of a strong attachment, after all.

Habits you steal:

Knuckle Cracking (Inherited): Deuce still does this from his biker days. It could be because joint pain from past fights, or possibly air retention in his knuckles from studying. Regardless, Deuce cracks his knuckles at least once every few hours and you began to mimic him. Some people groan at the popping sounds but it really does feel good to release the tension. Let's just hope neither of you dislocate any fingers on accident.

"Stop that! G-geez, you nearly gave me a heart attack. Thought you broke a finger...your hands are stiff? That just means you're studying a lot! I think...uh, let's break? I think there's some leftovers in the kitchen." <- Deuce 100% gets needing to pop those air bubbles. His hands get stiff from studying all the time, but don't crack them too much or you might dislocate something. Side note - he shows you how to wrap your fingers with a soothing salve. He used to do it after fights, but now it's a great help after class.

Double Notes (Developed): Deuce tries. He really does. Yet the lad just isn't great when it comes to book smarts. Seeing that he is dedicated to turning over a new leaf, you make a habit of copying all your notes. He isn't allowed to share them with Ace or Grim - else all bets are off. Sometimes you leave little 'good job' stickers on the last page for him. Is he a toddler? No. Does he peel the stickers off and save them? Totally. He is a good noodle. Suck it Ace.

Sewing (Developed): He breaks things. Most of the time it's an accident. You've learned to carry a mini-sewing kit for all the rips in Deuce's uniform. Same for mini remedies for stains and other problems. It's not like he's trying to get grass stains all over his under-shirt or to split the seam in his gloves (nearly every week). It just happens, and every time he comes to you with a kicked-puppy look with a promise of it being the last time. It is never the last time.

"Uhm...hun'? It happened again. I'm so sorry for bothering you but Housewarden is going to kill me if he sees the tear in my blazer! Can you fix it?! I can't handle another collar with my exam tomorrow! I need to breathe to focus! - really!? I owe you one! Snacks are on me tonight."

Habits he steals:

Bottomless Stomach (Developed): Have leftovers from dinner? Bring them over. He'll get the tubba-ware back in 1-2 days. Coupon for buy-one-get-one at Sam's? He'll take the extra and polish it off in less than a minute. Deuce becomes a human garbage disposal and is taking the unwanted condiments off your sandwich to eat. Just pick them off and leave 'em on the corner of his lunch plate. Even if he dislikes it, he'll down it so you don't have to.

"Mm. Oh, thanks hun' - its that all you're eatin'? You don't like the steam bun? It is a bit dry, but wasting food is disrespectful to the cooks! I'll finish it for you so have my fruit instead. You still need to eat" <- 10/10 very thoughtful and not picky at all. He is grateful to eat your cooking and will gobble up all leftovers at Ramshackle, but doesn't think twice to sharing meals in the cafeteria. He will notice though if you do not eat enough. Restocks the snack cabinet if he sees it's empty. Is touched if you routinely share things you know he enjoys, like saving half your frittata on purpose.

Early Riser (Inherited): See - even if you hate the mornings, there is no choice at Night Raven College. As Ramshackle Prefect you need to be up to take care of business before class. Deuce becomes your personal alarm clock because he wants some time with you before everyone else joins in. Mind you that he lives with three other dudes who threaten to end him every morning because his alarm wakes them up too. Eventually he can wake up without it, but the time leading is unpleasant.

"W-what? Seriously? I've been trying to be more like them! They're a good person and responsible so I've been trying to follow their example. To think we've been doing the same thing this entire time...." == Why would you ever imitate him? He's been trying his damn best to become an honor student worth respecting, and has a long way to go. To think you're comfortable enough with him to mimic his mannerisms? It's a pipe dream, one he doesn't grasp until it's put right in front of his face. You don't let anyone else pick off your plate other than Grim. The next time his clothes tear, he's already handing off his tie before realizing just what's happening. When you wrap his knuckles after a six-hour lock in at the library? He can't help but feel proud at how neat the bandages are. Suddenly the dark memories of hiding bruised knuckles from his mom are pacified with healing balm. Deuce views this development as a gift, and is grateful. Very, very grateful.

Habits you steal:

‘I owe you’ cards (Inherited): Ace's favorite social invention - the 'solid'. Nothing spells new-low like getting your friends to do stuff in exchange for a favor in the future. Most of the time Ace counts on people forgetting he owes them one, but you're not so gullible. The only difference between you both is that while Ace never fulfills his solid, you have a conscience. Give it a few more years. He'll get ya.

"I know this is the third ticket this week but - Oh! C'mon, cut a guy some slack, would you? I'm sorry for bein' late to our date. Yeah, it was shitty. I'm not trying to fight it, aright? I'm here now so let's have some fun and you can chalk three strikes on my tab. I'll even buy ya some candy - Ah! Okay! Two candies but that's where my charity ends!" <- Evidently, the 'I-owe-you' tabs cancel each other out from how often you both call in favors. It's just an excuse to do acts of service or express apologies without being too mushy. Ace is definitely keeping a track record of them though. Expect an ongoing log that dates back to the week you met, when he showed up homeless, collared, and looking to couch surf.

Profanity (Inherited): Ace swears like a sailor. Maybe not so much in his dorm because *cough* he's being policed. He holds no such reservations when you're both alone at Ramshackle. Unfortunately his potty mouth has a mind of it's own - it taints you, and you are a sham of a prefect. Ace earned a week-long collar for teaching you some Twisted-Wonderland exclusive curses. Riddle is not pleased.

Leaving the Windows Unlocked (Developed): There are only so many times he can sneak in through your window before the adrenaline-induced charm wears off. You have class in the morning, and can't be bothered to deal with him on nights he can't pass out in his dorm. Thank seven you have all of Ramshackle to yourself - because Heartslabyul sounds like a nightmare with the roommate situation. You can't leave the front door open for obvious reasons, but most nights the guest-bedroom window will be left slightly ajar in case he needs a place to crash.

"Pssst! Oi! Prefect! ...ugh, Grim! Wake them up, man! The latch is stuck. Don't go back to bed you furball! HEY! IT'S FREAKIN COLD OUT HERE SO LET ME IN ALREADY" <- Please let him in. If Ace has to spend one more night in that stinky dorm with three dudes, he'll string one of their dirty gym socks over your bed. No mercy.

Sleeping with Earplugs (Developed): Bitch Ace snores.

Habits he steals:

Notes Memo (Developed): Ace is bad with remembering things. Anniversaries? Dates? Allergies? He admits to not putting in a great amount of effort, but you can't say he doesn't try at all. He has a notes block on his phone dedicated to things like your go-to takeout orders and preferences. He even has a few alarms set days before any important events because even if you say no-gifts or plans...yeah, he's not that stupid.

Excessive Yawning (Inherited): You're always tired - it wasn't Ace's problem before but now he does feel a bit guilty. Dragging you into his messes felt different when you were just the prefect, y'know? Regardless, it's human instinct to mimic each other's demeanor so he'll openly yawn all the time - normally in succession of you.

"Hey...you're dozing off again. Am I seriously that boring to hang around? - Nah. Just messin' with you. I'd suggest taking a nap during next period but I doubt a goody-goody like you is gonna take that advice. Let's just ditch juice at lunch and go back to the dorm. Don't get mad if I forget to wake you up though"

Medications (Developed): Ace is the last person to become a human apothecary, but he's always got a pack of pain-reliever meds in his pocket with a few bandages, etc. He also attached one of those tiny capsule bottles to his keyring with some stomach meds inside. You took a spill running laps? Dang man. That sucks. Here's a band-aid for your knee. Curse you for making him the slightly-more responsible one.

"Eh..what, like it's a shock? You saying I'm a bad influence? Cause yeah, that checks. Nothin' I can do if they want to take a card outta my deck though," == Ace is entirely neutral on the topic. He is definitely smug that you're coming over to the dark side, but he doesn't need anyone to point it out. He was your first after all. Maybe the start could have been a bit better - but hey, you came around. It's not like he's hurting anyone by helping build your backbone. Although Ace will instantly deny going soft for you in any way, shape, or form.

For FicMas or whatever you gonna call it 🤭

So I still can't get these two out of my head but Headmistress Maria Hill and Vice Headmistress Yelenas Belova. They run a huge Private College in Paris. The college students have to wear uniforms but they don't care if the boys wear skirts or the girls wear pants they just have to wear the college colors and the college symbol. Reader is one of the top students studying culinary. She's close with Maria and Yelena since they used to tutor Reader when she was younger because she had a hard time learning then. On Winter break Reader asks them if they would like to join her and her family for Christmas and they said that they were busy with stuff as the Headmistress and Vice Headmistress of the college but Reader begged them to go with her and they finally gave in and agreed. Reader's family welcomed the two in with open arms and treated them like family. The three spent all week together until it was Christmas and they watched Reader open all of her presents before giving her a small box (necklace or bracelet I don't care which) and then they have Christmas dinner and laugh and chat about stuff.

You can decide whether or not there's smut at the end of it. If there is you can also pick if they're Intersex or not!!! 🤭

AC:I hope you enjoy this!! It was really fun and something different to write xx

Holiday Special Masterlist

"Have a great Christmas break everybody! Stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas!" your culinary professor said with a smile as they dismissed the class for the much-awaited Christmas break. You packed up your belongings, the class was a rather relaxing session of theory catch up allowing you that extra time to get those extra marks that you wanted. Being one of the top students in the class was something your parents where very proud of, you weren't always great a schoolwork but if it was something you were interested in, you were able to get some of the top marks for said class. 

You threw your backpack over your shoulder before making your way out the door, leaving the thought of your studies behind. The hall was crowded with other young adults making their way to the doors of stressless freedom. Fridays wishing you a happy holidays in passing as you made your way through the people and turning the corner. Unlike everybody else, you weren't aiming to get out of the building, instead you were on your way to the headmaster's office. 

"Good afternoon, Y/n!" The receptionist greeted you with a warm smile. 

"Good afternoon Alice! Excited for the Christmas break?" you asked as you took your backpack off and pulled out a container of freshly baked Christmas cookies. 

"4pm couldn't come quick enough" she chuckled. 

"Well, hopefully these can help you pull through the next hour" you replied as you handed the small container to her. Her eyes lit up, everybody loved your baking as well as your cooking and you couldn't bring yourself to leave the college without spreading a little Christmas joy to those who have been working so hard over the year. 

"You're a gem!" She complimented as she snuck a cookie and closed the lid, almost melting with the taste exploding in her mouth. "These are delicious!! Thank you" she added with a smile. "You're welcome! I'm glad you like them, is Maria and Yelena in?" You asked. 

Headmaster Maria Hill and Vice Headmaster Yelena Belova have known you since your parents made the big move from the States to Paris so you could attend the college without the stress of being in a different country alone. At first, it was a rocky start. Trying to fit in somewhere and understanding a whole different concept of learning had eventually taken its toll on you and the two women were always there to make sure you were okay. They even tutored you during the first 2 years of your studies, you grew pretty close with the two women and decided to invite them both to join you and your family for the holidays. 

"They sure are, go on through" Alice mumbled with a mouthful of cookies. You thanked her and wished her a happy holiday before making your way to Maria's office, knocking on the hard wooden door. 

"Come in" you heard Maria's voice softly travel from behind the door. You opened it slowly to be sure you weren't interrupting anything before making your presence known. Both women were heads down at their desks in paperwork. 

"You know you're supposed to take a break every hour" you spoke, gaining the attention of the two headmasters. Maria smiled while Yelena just chuckled. "I wish, we have so many new enrolment forms that we have to get done before the next of the week!" Maria explained, running her hands through her hair to adjust it. You took a seat on the large leather sofa that the headmasters had in their office for decoration, making yourself at home. 

"Well, you're going to have to take a break because it's Christmas break and I am inviting you both over for Christmas!" You said full of confidence. Yelena looked up at you as if you were joking, "you know we can't" she replied earning a nod of agreement from Maria. "You can't or you don't want too?" You challenged the blonde, a cheeky smirk tugging at your lips, "it'll be fun! plenty of food, games and my parents would love to have you both over" you added. 

"As much as a we would love that honey, we just have way too much to do before the end of the year and getting things ready before you all return after Christmas" Maria replied. Yelena chuckled knowing full well that you weren't going to take no for an answer, she watched as you pulled out another container of freshly baked cookies and began to munch on one. "I mean it" Maria added as she playfully shook her head at you while you chewed on the Christmas treat. 

"So do I" you replied shortly after, "come on, it's one day! There's plenty of food, trust me! My family can really cook up a feast, then after, we open some gifts and may I add, I did put a little something under the tree for you both as a thank you for a wonderful year and again, did I mention my parents would love to have you both over?" You added knowing you had already won Yelena over minutes ago. The room went silent, strong eye contact between you and Maria was shared before a defeat sigh came from her lungs, "Alright, we'll be there" she broke causing you to give her a rather big and very proud smile. 

---

Christmas morning came faster than you could blink. You woke up to the sight of snow covering the front lawn of your home, a warm smile tugged at your lips as you grabbed your robe and raced down the stairs to greet your parents. "Merry Christmas love!" Your mother hugged you tightly, your father just gave you a soft nod as he was still downing his coffee and adjusting to being awake in such cold weather.

"Merry Christmas guys!" You smiled at the two of them. 

"There's a snow storm coming in so I thought while I was getting lunch ready, you and your father would go out back and make sure everything is secure" your mother went on, already in her traditional Christmas apron. Although it was a little after 10am, your mother was always cooking early on Christmas day. "I'll just have a tea and go change into something else" you smiled before making your way over to the kettle. In the background, the daily news gave updates on the coming snow storm that you knew your mother would have on all day, your father wasn't one to worry so much about these type of things so he was a little more laid back. "Do you know when Miss Hill and Belova are arriving? I sure don't want them to get stuck out in the snow!" Your mother asked with concern.

"Uh, I did say we have Christmas lunch around 1pm so I think they mentioned something about being her around midday" you replied, pouring the boiling water into a mug. Your mother nodded and returned to her cooking while you took a seat next to your father and enjoyed the warm drink in your hands. 

After helping your father in the backyard you took a shower and got ready for the ready. You could hear the chitter chatter from downstairs that told you that your two guests had arrived and you were rather excited to give them their gifts after Christmas lunch. 

"You guys made it! Merry Christmas!!" you smiled as you greeted the two headmasters in the living room with a hug each. "Just! The snow is just getting worse!" Yelena replied.

"Lunch isn't too far away, please make yourselves at home" your mother inserted before you could say another word. You offered the women a glass of eggnog before the three of you sat around the living room talking about the school year. 

----

After lunch it was time to open gifts, this was your families usually tradition, lunch then gifts. The smile on your lips grew with anticipation to give the headmasters the gift you've had wrapped under the tree for weeks. It was almost impossible to even talk to them the way your parents were talking to them! They loved them, especially your father who thought it was great that you were still close with them or maybe it was the hopes deep down you'd learn plenty of leadership skills from them the two. 

"Roads are now closed due to the conditions of the snow storm, officials advise everybody to stay indoors until further notice!" The news reporter's voice caused the living room to turn silent. With the different conversations and plenty of shared laughs over lunch, the snowstorm was forgotten about. You looked outside the window which was already half covered in snow. 

"Well, it looks like you two will be staying here until it's safe" your mother said, "I'll set up the guest room a little later, I hope you both don't mind sharing a room" she added. 

"Don't stress, it'll be fine, thank you" Maria smiled. 

You grabbed Maria's gift from under the tree and handed it to her before going back to get Yelena's. "Y/n! you didn't have to get us anything!" Yelena spoke as she kindly took the gift from your hands. "I know, but I wanted too"! You replied with a smile and returned to your seat to watch them open their gifts. Maria started first, slowly she peeled the Christmas themed gift wrap off each end of the present and pulled out a book you knew she was looking for. 

"Oh my! Y/n, I have been looking everywhere for this!" She looked up at you, "where on earth did you find it?" she asked. 

"I was able to find one online, took me forever to find it!" You replied knowing she loved the present. 

"Thank you so much! I am lost for words, you shouldn't have!" 

Yelena began to open her gift next, her eyes widened when she saw the ghostface action figure that she wanted for her collection. "How did you know?!" She asked you but you just chuckled and playfully shrugged your shoulders. 

Maria rose from the sofa and handed you a gift, "this is from both of us, you're worked really hard this year, and we are both really proud of you" she smiled as you kindly took the gift. 

"Thank you!" You smiled before you slowly began to open the gift. A silver bracelet with an engraved quote in a fancy font sat gracefully in the black box. "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." Read the quote as you picked it up to read. "This is so beautiful, thank you!" You smiled once more before getting up to hug the two friends. 

Even though being snowed inside for the holidays wasn't on the list of things you wanted to happen, you were rather glad it did. You got to enjoy plenty of time with those you loved and cared for the most.

What do you think of High School Aus?

I like school themes, some people don't like them because of the cliché in animes, but I like to feel nostalgic, the best years for me were in my high school, in my sophomore and junior year. I can't say the same for my middle school year.

Would you guys believe that I started watching Rain code after chapter 2? Before this, I didn't really care about this game and thought it would be bad because I was obsessed with Danganronpa at the time and only thought about Danganronpa. Now, look where I am, Having an obsession with a short king, and making drawings of it until now. XD

I don't watch anime because I'm lazy , but I still enjoy the theme and teen drama. Also when the creators use teenagers in horror scenarios, it's always good, the time when horror RPG Maker was the height of the internet was the best year. I miss this. ;-;

I also think anime school uniforms are really cool, especially the girls' ones (I still think boys deserve better uniforms)

About high school au.....

Tw: 🎭⚠️ + spoilers and big text

I'm in a bit of a conflict of what a high school AU would be like, on one hand I want all the characters in Rain code to be high school students, and characters like Dr. Huesca to be the teacher.

Even Yakou would be a high school student, be friend of Vivia and the Amaterasu Researcher, and Yakou being the dramatic student for grades and school tests. I know he was going to be the teacher, but imagining him being the student would be funny. On the other hand, I wanted to imagine them being school employees, imagine what kind of teacher Makoto would be? Maybe a biology teacher. Biology was my favorite subject in school and I loved reading books about it.

Silly little headcanons like student Makoto having shorter hair than his adult self, to give a touch of difference, (and also based on me imagining that his original self had short hair when he was younger), He would wear a mask that could cover half of his face and also imagine that he could be the leader of some club, or even be part of the student council, or the school union. Imagine this drama: Yomi Hellsmile would be the leader of the student council, but would use his power and popularity to bully the other students and wreak havoc on the school.

I also imagine that Amaterasu could be an elite private school, and WDO would be a standard public school? The characters being from different schools, but still having some drama, involving school sports at a certain point, or them meeting at a bus stop or after school would be interesting. But it's more fun if they're from the same school or the same class. XD

The strangest things only happen during the school year

Makoto could also be the popular student, especially for the girls who would find him cute because of his baby face and height.

About his height; He could be a standard height for a school age or relatively short for a teenager. As previously stated, in my case, I stopped growing in height after the age of 18, although each person can grow and develop in different ways. We could apply this to the characters.

Homunculi stop growing after reaching biological maturity, right? He would still grow and develop until he reached physical maturity and stopped aging because of immortality.

Physical or biological maturity usually occurs around the age of 18 to 21, although it can vary slightly depending on factors such as genetics, nutrition, and general health. This includes the closure of the growth plates in the long bones, which marks the end of height growth.

You guys may also think that his original human self may have had problems during his physical development, making him too short for an adult. If Number One became the leader of the World Detective Organization at a very young age, the chronic stress and burden of responsibility may have damaged his biological growth. This may explain his supposed fragility and weakness. Nothing is confirmed.

Makoto would also be clear proof that Yuma has always been an adult, despite the characters not having official ages, and I don't have much of a problem with age headcanons.

So, I guess that's it. I hope that answered your question, anon.

[narrativelysignificantturtleduck]

Also a very minor throwaway part of that post but it annoys me so much that line “not sexist like the water tribe” like I cannot Stand when ppl act like the FN is actually superior in that regard bc they allow women on the frontlines of their imperial death machine … (tho ig it could fit w like. what you were talking about like how western countries like to brag about how they’re so much more progressive when they’re not- like ig the FN could try and spin things that way? but ugh)

(sorry, you don’t have to answer this i just got annoyed lol)

no i thought about this too because even if you see allowing women in the military as the pinnacle of equality, if you actually look there aren't many (if any at all) female soldiers when the gaang runs into fire nation troops in the earth kingdom, you mostly only see them in the fire nation domestic forces and as prison guards at boiling rock and iroh's prison. and they're wearing skimpy midriff-baring uniforms. the artbook even says that women make up a majority of the domestic forces. wow, there's absolutely no sexism in having women only in the domestic forces in special revealing uniforms. it totally means there's gender equality.

also everything about how azula and her girl squad conduct themselves speaks to how women learn to navigate sexist systems. all the other firebending threats are these brash, aggressive men (zhao, ozai, zuko), but azula schemes and plots and takes down ba sing se not with brute force, but by infiltrating in makeup and dresses, by taking advantage of people underestimating her. they really do stage a coup with the power of their gossip giggles! the pressure mai was under to be quiet and compliant, ty lee's cultivated cute and ditzy persona hiding how she can fuck you up, and azula's ability to scheme, all reflect how women in sexist societies are treated and cope with that treatment.

furthermore, i think water tribe sexism might be kind of overstated because we don't get much southern water tribe development. yes, sokka was sexist, the men of the tribe left to go to war and the women stayed behind, but in hama's flashbacks waterbenders of all genders are seen fighting the fire nation raids. kanna fled the north for the south - surely she wouldn't do that if she knew she'd be faced with exactly the same treatment. katara is totally surprised to find out that women aren't trained in combat waterbending. my guess is that while there were roles, they weren't nearly as rigid. sokka, having put all his eggs into the basket of "be the male warrior and protector while the men are gone" is perhaps taking this to a greater extreme than the average water tribe member, and he unlearns it pretty quick - almost as if it wasn't THAT entrenched, and it was more about his personal worldview than his cultural beliefs.

the main change i would make to atla is adding another episode between "the waterbending master" and "the siege of the north" where we get -

a) some insight into why the two water tribes have grown so different. i think likely the war had an impact on gender roles in both nations, with the north retreating from the world and becoming stagnant and traditionalist while the south had to have everyone fight out of necessity. maybe some flashbacks to life in the southern water tribe, a kanna appearance maybe.

b) an improved pakku storyline, where he's more sympathetic and interesting. if we're going to have him be katara's waterbending master and a member of the white lotus, he needs to be less of a jerk for no reason

c) aang learning healing from yagoda. we need to establish that the problem is gender roles, not that healing is an inferior form. maybe we see other men joining him in yagoda's class and women joining pakku's class, as he and katara learn from both of them. when they see pakku at ba sing se in the finale, he tells them that yagoda is at the white lotus camp too.

(and this scene happens offscreen)

d) some cute scenes of sokka & yue bonding

i think another water tribe centric episode would do a lot to make fandom less weird about things like this. it wouldn't entirely fix the problem - the problem is that we live in a racist society - but it would at least give us more canon evidence to refute it.

New pairing based on the gifset you just reblogged: Douglass/Kidd

"You look stupid," Jack says after Douglass shaves his stubble into a goatee while Jack holds the mirror.

"I look amazing," Douglass replies, giving him a grin. He takes the mirror from Jack, and Jack expects him to hand over the razor so he can take a turn at his own stubble.

Except Douglass doesn't. Instead, he just gives Jack one of those long looks he has sometimes, like he's drinking Jack in and memorizing the way he looks.

"What?" Jack finally asks, unable to stop himself.

"You look good in this light," Douglass replies, easy as you please. He shifts and tilts his head. "Wouldn't have thought it would suit you, but it does."

"You think about how different light suits me?" Jack asks.

Douglass nods. "Your color changes real easily depending on it. You know you look blue in the briefing room?"

"Blue?"

"Yeah. Not like sickly. More like...like a washed out blue. Like at twilight. And you get a little yellow in the officer's club. I think it's all the green from our uniforms."

"Professor Douglass for color theory."

Douglass chuckles. "Sure, why not? I'd be a great professor. I'd just have you show up in a different outfit every class and show off how you look."

Jack ducks his head. "Hush," he says.

"You're red in this light," Douglass says. He scoots to Jack, closing the distance between them. He climbs directly into Jack's lap, in fact, as easily as he paid him a compliment a minute ago. Jack slides his hands up the outside of Douglass's thighs, amazed the man is still wearing his longjohns in this heat. Jack's stripped to his shorts and undershirt five minutes after landing. "Strawberry blonde," Douglass adds, rubbing his thumb against Jack's stubble. "It does something to your eyes, too. They're lighter somehow."

"Yeah?" Jack asks because Douglass's compliments always make him feel a little fluttery, but they also make him feel seen in a way no one's ever noticed him. Gangly, washed out Jack Kidd, all knees and elbows and earlobes. To be seen by someone like Douglass, who looks like Errol Flynn and Clark Gable ran off together to make a a shockingly beautiful man.

"Like you best in the dark, though," Douglass says. "And not just for the obvious reasons."

Jack laughs, and Douglass leans in and kisses his throat. "Why the dark?"

"Then it's all just shapes. You've got all these little dips and curves all over, and when I've just got my hands to feel 'em, I swear they're brand new every time."

"The mouth on you," Jack murmurs, and he can't help but steal a kiss. "You could sweet talk anyone in the world."

"Already got you," Douglass says. "No one else I need." He holds Jack's cheek in his hand, smiling softly as Jack smiles back. "Tip your head back," he says. "I'll shave you if you want."

"If I want," Jack scoffs, like he'd ever turn it down. "Just make sure the sides are even. Nothing worse than an uneven goatee."

"Yeah, that's definitely worse than this war," Douglass replies, and he presses their foreheads together for a moment before he leans back to reach for the water and soap.

Burya Role Reversal au- full DGS/GAA2 spoilers

Aight, so now that I've finally finished the game I thought I might note down some of my thoughts of key points that would happen in this theoretical role reversal au, armed with the knowledge of what Kaz's goddamn secret was

Cut for length and/or spoilers for both games

Ryunosuke dies- so the first difference is that after Ryunosuke eats all the chicken legs there is a chicken shortage for dinner. Kazuma eagerly signs up to not have chicken for dinner as a confirmed chicken hater, and thus is the one to eat the drugged portion whereas Ryunosuke is awake to see Pavlova and get murdered

Ryunosuke is a stowaway, while being in a first class cabin does suggest the occupant is aware of his prescence maybe it was also a coincidence. Or perhaps Ryuonsuke actually met his sticky end in the corridor. Regardless the crew decides the neatest end to cover up the murder of a man who isn't even supposed to exist is actually to just dispose of the evidence rather than set up a frame job. Ryunosuke's corpse is thrown overboard* Sholmes, being the only other person who knew Ryunosuke was there, eventually helps Kazuma prove it

*undecided if in this role reversla Ryunosuke is actually dead, because regardless if youre dead when you get chucked into the ocean it's unlikley to end well. However if this is also a fake death as in canon then a few options, one, Sholmes sets up the lie (unlikely he doesn't ahve the same motivation as canon) OR a series of unlikely lucky coincidences, i.e. they're not that far from HK coastal water and a fishing boat happens to be there pretty much as Ryunosuke drops and somehow falling into the freezing ocean from height actually just gives him the shock to regain conciousness instead of, idk, breaking his ribs, accidentally breathing in water and drowning

Sholmes, knowing of both Kazuma and Susato and having been unsuccessful in suggesting Kazuma should return to Japan as a result of his friend's untimely death is very, very, eager to keep an eye on them both. Aside from the assasination threat they are the child and ward of a dear friend and Sholmes is quite worried that Kazuma is going to spin out because he's not doing so well

Kazuma never stops wearing his headband in this, it's the closest thing he's got to a memento of Ryunosuke, after all. Well, other than copies of their identical uniforms. No armband or katana inheritance here

Post McGilded Stronghart makes subtle noises aboout Kazuma killing Gregson already. Kazuma, who in his mind has so very little left to lose now (rip Susato), points out that he came to England to learn get revenge on Van Zieks and the point of the visiting students is to get sent back once done. Stronghart angrily concedes to let Kazuma attend precisely three trials before he needs to do his duty... or face a sticky end of his own

Now this is a problem with timeline in a ryunosuke lives because it implies Ryuonsuke somehow gets to england like, nearly a year before kaz does, but I like the idea that in this au Ryunosuke doesn't wind up under Van Zieks like Kazuma does, but with no memory and a fondness for literature and the english language winds up with Natsume (in his second trial) goes off looking for a lawyer for him,,, and finds Kazuma and Susato

Around the time of the Eggert Benedict trial Ryunosuke eventually (accidenally) wanders his way off to Stronghart- he is curious about British law after alll, and winds up being co-counsel for Kazuma (perhaps after Susato leaves?). A development Ryunosuke is thrilled about and Kazuma is horrified by. Especially when Stronghart comes to personall tell Kazuma actually, 3 trials is not enough, why doesn't he defend a few more :-)

Kazuma cracks and confesses to Sholmes after the eggert trial, he would tell Ryunosuke but he just got him back and doesn't want to lose his trust so soon. Sholmes bundles Gregson off ASAP, Susato is recalled to Japan

See after the Eggert Benedict Trial Kazuma's grace period is up and he's meant to start assasinating so there is a gap in trials... unfortunately Gregson has gone awol (huh how funny). Still Stronghart has leverage and Kazuma is still in a very sticky position

In the gap Kazuma is desperately trying to get Ryunosuke to return to Japan (without telling him why), Ryunosuke refuses- he may not know what's going on but Kazuma is his best friend and he made a promise. Simultaneously Sholmes is trying to get Kazuma to return to Japan (telling him why) Kazuma refuses. (He hasn't done what he came here to do yet.) Sholmes is this close to drugging him and stuffing him on a steamship, but somehow he suspects Kazuma would find a way to come back and at least Sholmes can keep an eye on him this way.

Anyway those are some of my ideas, I'm torn about a. if ryunosuke is alive and b. like while i really do like the idea of meeting him via natsume, it also is kinda too ealry so idk. Also this whole thing was actually originally meant to be about how I felt Kazuma would deal with Ryunosuke's death way worse than the other way around becuase a. he's so angry b. ryunosuke dying is much more his fault than kazuma dying being ryuonsuke's fault and c. he's so much more isolated in it becuae susato doesne't know ryuonsuke so they can't grieve together and stuff?

I also originally considered kazuma not being intersted in 1-5 but i love gaaac 1 gina so much so, BUT kazuma in this au kind of gives up on trust but that's when ryunosuke is dead. Anyway i had a lot of fun thoughts about kazuma nad gina interacting in 1-5 where Kazuma refuses to trust people nor accept anybody's trust. But if Ryuonsuke is alive.... Similiarly, the lack of interest wasbecause initially before I knew much about spoilers Kazuma was honestly just moping and working on his plan (to take down van zieks) and like didnt actually care about trials. But now where the only way he's pushing back his assasination mission by doing trials he might care more. My first thought was he holds off on trials becuase 3 isn't many... but Stronghart probably wouldn't like that. So now we have kazuma strongarmed into trials for people he might genuienly feel bad for (gina). Also gina's complete lack of trust in people and systems could mesh really intrestingy with this jaded Kazuma

Alternatively, Ryunosuke does come back in 2-3,, not 1-4/2-2 and perhaps the only thing he does remember is this guy with a katana and billowing headbands who constantly talked about reforming courts or... tldr amnesiac Ryuonsuke makes his way to Stronghart trying to chase his memories. Stronghart is like the cat who got the cream (it's not hard to see Kazuma has been spinning out about something and now this guy shows up who dresses the same...) So stronghart lets Kazuma have an extra trial, perhaps, just to push leverage

either that or around 2-3 kazuma figures out gregson had something to do with his father's death/snaps a little further and calls gregson back to london to ask about it on the pretext of thsi case. (Sholmes is... uh not happy, to put it lightly, when he finds out)

anway great thoughts

[my-misericordia]

As much as I'm enjoying this show there is one thing that definitely keeps bothering me and that is the depiction of low income people as represented by Kawi. 

From the start we are told that his finances are bad. He has a job and goes to school at the same time. As someone who did that in high school and university I can tell you that doing that is not only hard but also reallyyy isolates you from your classmates. You lose a lot of opportunities to socialize with people your own age, you get jealous that you can't do the things they can, They can't understand Why you can't attend activities even though they say they do, you stop talking to your peers Because of that rift, and your peers also stop trying to involve you because your answer is usually no. 

It's a no brainer but being Poor is Hard!!! That's why I really empathized with Kawi in the beginning. While everyone saw a brat, I saw a kid being isolated due to his circumstances. If he already had a base anxiety of "fitting in" then that surely got worse because he was unable to tackle it due to having to work in order to stay afloat.

But as the show keeps moving forward...he hasn't gone to Work!!! lol Yes he says it but we've Never seen it!! How is the audience supposed to sympathize with him when this whole time he's just complaining in their eyes? Why can't we have scenes with him going "and i couldn't do X today because I had work" while lying in bed with his uniform on? A few scenes of him meeting up with people a bit late because of work and still wearing his work uniform?? A few days ago I thought it would have been really effective to start the the first episode with him working, in a restaurant lets say, the camera panning to the clock at like 11pm and then panning out and it being 11 am where he's falling asleep and then he starts his little narration. And you know what we could also never return to that location just have him with his uniform like I mentioned!!

I say this because so far Nothing he mentioned has been shown to be standing in his way! He seems to be able to anything...and it really just makes it seem like it was ALL in his head! He really ends up looking like he's just been a whiney person this whole time...and ughh! If that's the case the story didn't have to create him as a lower class person because this is such a terrible representation! This type of depiction just makes it seem like poor people just complain because they have a "negative" perspective, that they just need to look on the bright side and things will just magically improve and I just hate that!!

It's really disappointing because it actually had some great commentary on how economic differences do affect how you go about the world. Like the conversation that Kawi and Pisaeng had in the 2nd episode. Yes we all have 24 hours in the day but when you're poor you do have less. Also the fact that Kawi's father didn't want to keep going to the hospital because it was too expensive. Had Kawi been paying his medical expenses? Did he start working because he knew he wouldn't be able to attend university otherwise? 

Idk it's just...moments like these where it's kind of obvious who's creating these shows lol Income inequality is pretty big in Thailand and with series like this it Shows. But like I mentioned before, it did have a few good points that shed light on how it is to be low income so hopefully that's absorbed by some people? Truthfully I don't think so though because like I said most people just see Kawi as a "spoiled brat" (ironic lol) just having a bad character that needs to changed through "positivity".

**A small extra thing that I think could have been done to depict Kawis' economic standing is his presentation? He kind of looks too good?? lol Like all his clothes look brand new and I know they're kind of trying to make him look 'poor' by not styling his hair and whatever but come onn you can do better than that...I guess what I'm saying is it wouldn't hurt to take a lesson from Japan? They do a pretty good job at dressing people down.

[ooc-miqojak]

The way both America and the U.K. have made some improvements, only to go right back to being these truly monstrous places to live is just... there's no word strong enough for it... hellish, awful, terrible, disgusting, frightening...? Feeling helpless in the face of the ruling class is something so medieval, and yet here we are. We change the names and titles of the ruling class, but it's the same shit. The same oppression. The same silencing of the masses. America thought it was going to be so different, when it warred against Britain... and now here we are, birds of an ugly feather together, two nations of bigots in a sinking ship.

I hate the helplessness of it all. Attacking trans people is an attack on all people - I hate that line about 'we know what a woman is' - because no you don't. I'm AFAB and my PCOS causes lots of issues with my body that would no doubt make a TERF assume I'm a trans woman (Oh, facial hair? Am I 'not a real woman' because my hormones don't work right, then, and I produce facial hair that makes me extremely dysphoric... just like it might for a trans woman??) - and would bring that harassment down on me... someone they claim they're trying to 'protect'.

I'll never understand why politicians care so much about how complete strangers live their lives. It's not anyone else's business what goes on in your life - who you love, how you dress, how you do your hair, if you wear makeup, what your genitals are, what you ate for lunch today... policing the way people live their lives starts like this, and only grows - where does it stop? Will they come into your home next and outlaw decorating your own home? Will all people have to drive the same car? Eat the same food? Wear the same clothes, the same haircut, have state-approved marriages?

I have to admit, that every year I fear we're all closer to the society in Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron - where no one is allowed to be different at all... no better, or worse than anyone else - and here's a good short film that's a pretty faithful adaptation of as much, in case you don't want to read this -

And in some places, these horrifying things are already a reality.

I don't have any answers, but... hey, none of us are 'abnormal' - there's lionesses out there who suffer from the same sort of thing I do, and their androgen levels make them start looking and acting male, as well as begin trying to mate with females. Nature is imperfect, and so are we all - and trying to put all people in one uniform little box will never work.

guys why the fuck aren't we talking about what's happening in the uk right now

nobody outside the uk is talking about this. why is nobody talking about it

[enigmaincrimson]

Sitting here and thinking... While all of the the original seven take different embellishments of the maid uniform...

A common feature of each of the Hyades is that their appearance can be... Deceptive.

The "Terror Shrimp" would take various martial art classes. Kind of feisty if prodded... Might have a sadistic streak at times... Especially since if her opponent is stupid enough to get too close while wearing metal armor... As breaking through armor and other barriers while using said protection against them is kind of her thing...

A bit tempting to make her into a pint-sized powerhouse, but making her resemble the normal maids might be more amusing... Especially if I do something like... Using the Pallandian Shield mage concept to make her more annoying and to fight.

The... Runic Sea Slug... Or "Sea lich" might appear to take job classes for a necromancer, summoner, and priest in addition to Psionics and Runecraft... It's a bit tough to explain...

A gentle powerhouse in most cases, definitely a bookworm... Has a habit of sending minions to run errands if she could get away from it... Not out of being lazy, but because she has a tendency to get busy and she's got only so many hands. Might be a bit of a clean freak to think on it.

Her uniform should play up the whole... Dark Priestess angle to amp up the deception.

I had dabbled with the next one being a Minotaur or Holstaurus, but I'm not sure...

I had thought about taking the principles of a Pallandian War Tank in her design... Having something of a gentle, motherly disposition, and giving the guise of being an ordinary tank class until someone upsets her... Resulting in a situation where the opponent finds themselves feeling like they're trying to stop a freight train with no brakes.

I had also contemplated her secretly being a centaur or ursine instead... But that is going to take dabbling.

Hm...

So... Thinking on it... Giving the Terror Shrimp classes in Shield mage might be interesting, but... I'm not sure.

The general disposition of the job class is basically like that of a sadistic magical girl with sheep dog tendencies... An immense mana pool, a talent for physical augmentation, and making barrier constructs of all shapes and sizes.

In a party, they usually play the role of distraction... Keeping the enemy off balanced and frustrated as possible.

Nobody's going to notice the mage readying a spell if all eyes are on them... Are they?

War Tanks usually wear much heavier armor... And typically used as a trick barrier.

They seem slow and plodding as they're usually focused on blocking hits meant for allies... Until someone does manage to get past the defending line... Then they find out what they're really meant for.

War Tanks have the disposition of a momma bear... And anyone that messes with the "cubs" finds out how violent those gentle giants can actually get.

Comparing the War Tank's wrath to the Doom Slayer or the Incredible Hulk seems about apt...

And I drifted...

Usually Shield Mages get paired with War Tanks in a party... For various reasons.

reaction part 1 to dream's smoothie jacket and mv behind the scenes

apparently we are bombarded with feet in the first like ten minutes of this video so we shall see how true that is lol

i looove the uniform group shots of this comeback

who is chenle's fated one? :3

first foot mention from chenle

i'm reminded that in the mv, it was haechan who was throwing the darts at the wall. so projectiles being shot at the wall are kind of in line with his concept. also he's got a bit of that long hair curling around his neck.

mark's concept is even heavier on the nails

second foot mention from jaemin lmao

YES love that jaemin mentioned that the icantfeelanything shoot has horror vibes because it DOES! coven boarding school vibes. like there's a mysterious secret room in the boarding school that no one is allowed to go into. it's the dark version of chewing gum for sure. and like, chewing gum wasn't all just bubblegum, like the kids were fighting back against the strict teacher, just that the mv and song were otherwise very upbeat and good vibes.

omg crying jisung?

butterfly <3

markren :3

THIS is what's in the secret room, the symbol of freedom

i liked this shoot a lot. i liked the one where they were seated in a row, but breaking it up and having jisung sit up close and the other way...idk it feels like...they're starting something, they're planning something. they're starting to talk among themselves rather than just listening and obeying every day.

cuddly <3

group feet pic lol

i have thought about whether i should buy the icantfeelanything version of the mini album considering how in love i am with the concept

this is their graduation photo. class of '24. you would see this photo in black in white in the hall of the boarding school.

chenle's cheekbones starting to get sharper and sharper. i know it's a combo of him losing weight and the makeup.

box as the background music <3

hell yeah FIRE

renjun explained that in icantfeelanything, the wings were butterfly wings, soft and fragile. but with the smoothie shoot, the wings are now strong and metal. love that.

even when they're trying to be cool, they're so clingy and affectionate lol

jeju tangerines and jeju cutlassfish ^^;;

they were playing with jeno's braids :3 i think the braids is an interesting look

jeno said that jisung probably felt embarrassed going outside and jisung said that he bought hats to wear ^^;;

jeno noted that jisung's hair was exactly like renjun's from my first and last lol

yeah i thought he was going to go for make a wish as well, but i guess you can't go for the same hairstyle twice, it should be a little different ^^;;

LONG boi

for real first time i saw the jisung smoothie teasers i did a double take bc i thought it was someone else and then i was like ?????????? park jisung????

yeah

love the misty atmosphere

horsie

the horse must be so chill and calm for it to stand so completely still for so long, WHILE music is being played. i'm guessing it's an actor horse.

[soliloquyepistolary]

What did Clea’s dream mean?

In the dream, I am with MH and we are away somewhere in some stretch of nature and I find some saffron milk caps where we are standing, there's two of them. They're quite large specimens, I star to clear away the dirt around them so it's easier to pick. We are interstate or something and she says you can sneak them into the airport, not in your luggage but put it in your pet's cage and everyone will assume it’s just food for the dog, and even if they realise what it is, they can’t get to it since the cage is locked shut. I say or think to myself that it isn’t a good idea since George is not my dog and I don’t want to be responsible for anything that might jeopardise it's health, in case he actually eats it or something. I get really excited and then we find more, I am spotting them all about. We are standing there she is staring right at one of them, as if in a trance, and I follow her line of sight to what she is looking at and bend down closer to the mushroom she spotted. I had thought that findings would be quite sparse. We are in a pine forest now and start to see them peppered everywhere and I see one with it's cap nibbled off, and I say well we can be a bit choosey and picky now and just pick the nicer looking smaller ones.

In the dream before this one, a basketful of mushrooms all varieties like wood blewitts and weeping boletes that I had foraged. All very good looking speciean.

I think AJ was in my dream, I could feel his energy and sense that we were talking but I don't remember what happened.

I was talking to Athena while walking down the street and she was quite animated and didn’t even say anything about how I haven’t replied to her voice notes. We crossed the road, I was just looking at her as she talked.

I was at work that did not look like work, and I opened the shop and SN was there at one of the tills, setting it up and then Alex V came to do a shift with me even though he has a different job now. He went from part-time to a casual contract. He didn’t seem well, like withdrawn and not himself, I made a note to myself to find a moment at some point to ask him if he is okay.

I am getting ready for high school I am putting on my uniform and instead of my casual way of wearing it, which I have been doing for awhile now I am going to be proper about it. Instead of the year 12 hoody, I am putting on the blazer which I have not worn in a long time and instead of black socks I will put on white socks to go with the summer uniform and I will pull them up high over my calves and look picture perfect, like I am about to get my picture taken or something. It is my last days at school or something like I am about to graduate and I want to look the part because I am ready now, I feel accomplished like I am ready to be noticed and seen. I am proud to be put together. I feel really cute and pretty.

In the dream CA is saying something about how I or she keep having dreams where things are about to start like class is about to start or an appointment is about to start, the right before of things.

A plant specimen appears, as if I am doing the plant ID test and I realise that it is a sample of Rhagodia candolleana

[twst-the-night-away]

[ Some of the information on the old profile is incorrect, but I just wanted to show as many images as possible since I don't have official art of them yet. They're taller now, with a different best subject. ]

Roswell Grey

Roswell Grey is a mysterious third-year student who doesn’t speak much, but notices everything. They arrived at Night Ravens College along with Lilia and Malleus, and seem to rely on them a great deal. If you watch Roswell closely enough, you may start to wonder if they’re really from this world at all … 

Dorm: Diasomnia

Grade/Class: Junior/Class E

Birthday: July 8

Age: Appears to be 18

Height: 187 cm/6’2”

Dominant Hand: Left

Homeland: ???

Club: Board Game Club

Best Subject: Practical Magic

Worst Subject: Astrology

Hobbies: Learning new things, board games

Pet Peeves: Heat, dirt

Favorite Food: Strawberry ice cream

Least Favorite Food: Hot food

Talents: Game strategy, memory, levitation

[ Roswell uses both they/them and he/him, as they’re disguised as a male student, but they ultimately have no gender. ]

Physical Description: Very tall, with long limbs and fingers. A thin build. Silver-white hair in a neat bowl cut. Large eyes with irises so dark you can’t see their pupils. Pale skin with a grayish tint. A precise, musical voice that almost sounds computer-generated and rarely shows any emotion.

Physical Problems: Roswell’s species is very weak to heat. They don’t like to eat or drink hot things, and warm environments slow them down. Most of the things Roswell eats are room temperature or cold, and soft. Roswell has no actual teeth - they’re just part of the disguise - so they can’t chew food. They also take in a lot more sugar than humans normally need. Their species requires a lot of glucose and electrolytes to process the calculations always happening in their brains, so for Roswell, dinner is often a pint of strawberry ice cream and a sports drink. When it comes to sleep, the process is automatic, so Roswell keeps to a very regimented schedule in the evenings so that they don’t “shut down” in an inconvenient place.

Uniforms: Roswell wears all of their uniforms very properly, and always wears black gloves. Their school uniform is buttoned up all the way, with the tie neat. Their PE uniform is zipped up all the way, with short sleeves and short pants. They follow labwear procedures properly, with their goggles on and coat buttoned up. They wear their hood when they wear their ceremonial robes.

Floyd’s Nickname: Tardigrade

Rook’s Nickname: Le visiteur

Special Magic: None, but they’re very talented at levitation - whether themself, or someone/something else. It comes easily to them.

Twisted From: No character in particular, they’re just a grey alien in disguise. I read theories about how alien visitations are just a modern interpretation of encounters with the fae, so I thought it would be cool to have an alien in Diasomnia.

Relationships

OC Friends: This space under construction.

Canon Friends: Roswell tends to stick to their dormmates. They seems to be especially anxious when Lilia or Malleus aren’t around, as they’re the people he looks to for guidance and instruction. They’re tentative friends with Azul and Idia, since they’re in the same club.

Respects/Admires: Malleus, Lilia, Idia

Avoids: Rook, which is hilarious, because Roswell’s just as nosy and occasionally creepy as he is. They don’t like him because they’re worried he’ll find out their secret. The nickname he gave them makes them wonder if he hasn’t already.

Avoided By: Quite a few students. Roswell tends to ask sudden invasive questions, and people have noticed them just … watching them. It bothers them. Idia used to avoid him a lot more than he does now ... even though he still does, sometimes.

Potential Ships: Roswell’s doing well enough to navigate survival here, forget about romance.

Character Opinions

Housewarden: Roswell is mostly at NRC due to an initial encounter with Malleus. They were in training flying over Briar Valley when they attempted to abduct him, but Malleus brought down their ship with his magic. Roswell’s people do not go after crashed vehicles, as those who crash are presumed dead, so they were abandoned. After finding that the creature in the vehicle no longer posed a threat, Lilia and Malleus brought Roswell to live with them, since they had no place anymore. Roswell does not have the physical strength to be a guard like Silver or Sebek, but the powers of his mind will definitely earn him a place in the prince’s entourage. He’ll end up filling a role kind of like a Mentat, functioning as an organic computer for notoriously tech-helpless Malleus. Roswell is respectful of Malleus and his power since, it was demonstrated quite clearly when they first met him. (Roswell only respects those whose power can be proven, after all. They need evidence.) Neither of them understand the concept of ‘friendship’ very well just yet, and emotions are something that Roswell doesn’t have, but Malleus is fond of the strange fellow all the same.

Dormmates: Roswell got their name from Lilia. Before, they were simply just one of a set of identical clones. Lilia is someone who Roswell trusts for information, but that doesn’t always work very well, since Lilia has a playful streak and likes to tell Roswell harmless little lies about the way things work down here. Roswell is curious about everyone around them, although they don’t always get the opportunity to study their subjects closely … but they have had plenty of time to study Silver, thanks to his sleepy nature. Like a good guard, Silver trusts Malleus’s acceptance of Roswell in his court, but he has also never forgotten that Roswell tried to abduct Malleus. That was a thing that happened. Silver won’t let it happen again. Sebek doesn’t trust Roswell at all, and doesn’t want them to get too close to Malleus. Roswell frequently gets under Sebek’s skin for asking too many questions. Because Roswell’s known to be physically frail, their dormmates may be a little protective of him.

Clubmates: Roswell respects the intelligence of their clubmates, even when they get annoyed by his unusual questions or just … staring from time to time. Idia especially doesn’t like it when Roswell stares. Roswell’s just observing, that’s all. Azul is a bit curious about Roswell himself. Of course, the odd Diasomnia third-year seems highly intelligent, but there’s something about them that makes him wonder … 

Crowley: Roswell has insufficient data.

Trein: Roswell does very well in Trein’s classes, as they’re largely about facts and memorization. They excel at remembering things, so they always get good marks in his class.

Crewel: Roswell’s better at theory than practice when it comes to things like potions and alchemy.

Vargas: Roswell doesn’t need a broom to fly. They do not understand the necessity of the broom. Also, they just don’t have the physical strength to get along well in Vargas’s class.

Sam: Roswell likes to look around the shop and ask about curious things they find. Sometimes they ask too many questions, though. Sam’s trying to run a business here, kid … 

History

Roswell Grey (real name unknown, Lilia gave them that name for a laugh and they do not understand its significance) is exactly what the name says: a grey alien. They are able to project an illusion that is more humanlike when they are among others, but there are a few small things that give away the fact that they’re not entirely human.

Roswell was one of a set of numbered, nameless identical clones tasked with observation of a certain sector of the planet. After growing up with endless lessons and training, they were given their first mission: observe a creature and bring it to the mothership for study. The creature that Roswell chose to observe and capture just happened to be Malleus Draconia, and, well. You can imagine how that turned out. Malleus brought Roswell’s individual craft down with his magic, and when the injured creature stepped out of the craft, he was ready to end them out of self-defense. Having heard the crash, Lilia came flying over, and helped Malleus calm down and consider the situation a little. After they figured out how to communicate with Roswell, and heard of their predicament with no hope for rescue, Lilia and Malleus figured that they’d bring them back home, just for a while, just to see how they could help. Eventually, Roswell became part of the family. Sort of. He’s … an exchange student staying with them.

Roswell started at NRC along with Malleus and Lilia, and that was when they began disguising themselves to fit in more. It was hard for them at first, and their magic required regular recharging, but now that Roswell’s in their third year, they can easily slip in and out of disguise.

Actions During the Story

Roswell tends to observe things rather than participate. They haven’t done very much so far. This section will be under construction until I can find more things for them to do in the story.

Although I will say, once they meet Yuu and Grim, Roswell wonders if they’re from another planet as well, and they take the ‘visitors from another world’ thing very much in stride. It’s not strange to them at all.

Yuu began laughing when Roswell introduced themself, and they’re not sure why.

Why Diasomnia?: Roswell knows students there who understand their secret, so they’re safest there.

[icemankazansky]

Bit of a lurker here. But what better wsy rp get to know you. For the comfort character meme: Iceman 🤍

I would love to know about 7 and 14.

Thanks and have a great day✌

I am thrilled to have you peek your little head out to play ask memes with me. (In this analogy, you are a small, shy woodland creature.) Hello! I have noticed you around, but welcome aboard officially.

7. the moment of theirs that made me the happiest & 14. what i liked about the way canon portrayed them

Whoops I kind of answered these both at the same time. Anyhoo.

I have talked about this before (erm, more than once), but I am so excited for the chance to talk about it again!!

Ice is an introvert. He is careful and precise and he takes great pains to keep himself composed. Names are so important, and the call signs are also very important, because they're names that the pilots have earned. It's what they're called when they're in the cockpit and since life is what happens when they're in the air, the call signs are more important than their given names. And Iceman—just like Maverick, but in an entirely different way than Maverick—wears his proudly, and he works to fit it, and sometimes it becomes a mask, a shield. People who are so highly disciplined and ask so much of themselves, who work so hard to be the best always and never to let anyone see them when they're down, are under an enormous amount of pressure. They are walking a tightrope at all times, and they're doing it with their shoulders back and their eyes forward, but that motherfucker shakes. Usually people who are that tightly controlled are that way because they've been damaged as children, and/or because they're deeply insecure, so there are Layers.

Honestly, my favorite parts of Ice are the moments we get to see when he does not feel the need to hold himself like that, when he relaxes enough to show what's behind the mask. I love the moment in the TAC room where he is just lolling against the railing, sunglasses on, head down, just So. Fucking. Bored. It's a beautiful contrast to a lot of what we're shown of Ice, and it's also something that struck a chord with me personally, because that was me. That is me. Through most of life.

In America we have this bullshit called "Gifted and Talented" programs where they take the kids who are working ahead of everyone else and give them a little extra project to do like once a week or some shit. I always thought of myself—and I think of Ice this way—as Gifted and Talented and BORED. American public schools are woefully underfunded, and while there are definitely children who are left behind—I have a friend who teaches college English, and she often has students who cannot read. This is not hyperbole. They have graduated from American public schools illiterate.—the children who are working faster than everyone else are also a problem, because there's nothing to do with them. Teachers have 30+ students in every class, and they have to focus on getting everyone on the same page, which meant for me (and many others) that I spent a huge amount of time, throughout my entire public school career, in class unsupervised with nothing to do. Carly, sit quietly and read. Carly, why don't you work on assignments for other classes? Carly, have you done ALL the assignments for this class? Have you read THE WHOLE textbook? Carly, go see if you can spend the rest of the period in art. I started getting migraines in high school and would not infrequently just lay my head down and then sleep for an entire class, and not once did any of my teachers ever say anything about it.

There's this perception of Ice as aggressively rule abiding, but he's NOT. That's not it. The arguments he has with Maverick are all about collectivism and working as a team; he never gets on Maverick's ass about following the rules. And the thing is, Ice is occasionally irreverent and pushes against boundaries he can get away with. Did you know chewing gum is against the Navy's uniform code? THAT BOY ALWAYS HAS SOMETHING IN HIS MOUTH. He chews gum in the cockpit flying Mach 2. When Viper is handing out assignments and Ice responds to his SO with, "Yo," my heart sings. We love to see it.

(And let us never forget that it is, in fact, Iceman Kazansky who is a brat in every room of this house.)

Oh geez why did you let me talk so long? OKAY. FINALLY. The actual answer to your question is:

When Ice confronts Maverick on the deck of the Enterprise, he BLOOMS. His frosty mask and his tightly held composure drop away in an instant, and he smiles and it's like SUNSHINE. (Also his little orbicularis oculi muscles contracting KILL ME DEAD, but that's slightly beside the point.) I love it so much. I love him so much. I'm going to cry.

Thank you for playing.

Pokemon direct thoughts!

I know this direct happened like twelve hours ago but I had to go to class.

Lmao what the fuck are these wheels. Why are the box legendaries bicycles.

Seriously why is pokemon so opposed to just letting me ride a fucking pokemon like a horse or something? Why does there always have to be weird gear and platform seats and equipment??? Just lemme hop on an Arcanine and hold onto the mane for dear life!!!!!

They even have animations of them running! Why can't you just make them run/swim the whole time?????

Pleaaaaaaase let the grass cat stay quadrupedal

Kinda wish they showed off more new pokemon. I know they want to keep some element of mystery but like... I'm really worried we're gonna get another Kalos-tier dex where I struggle to make up a full team of 6 I like with just the new 'mons.

I'm hoping we get a new Eevee this time around. It's been like three gens GF come on!

Looks like they're replacing the Dynamax gimmick with some weird crystallization gimmick? I'll... see how I feel about it

While Pokemon is pretty uniquely well suited to open world games... I'm kind of over open world games, tbh. I'm hoping there's more to it than just catching dozens of the same pokemon over and over (I liked PLA but like... really, open world games bore me a bit) otherwise I'm not sure

OH MY GOD THE LEGENDARY'S NAMES LITERALLY HAVE "RIDE ON" IN THEM ASDFGHJKL

I'm really glad they're adding "no set gym order" as a feature, considering it's been canon since the 90's that Gym leaders just scale their pokemon based on the trainer they're facing.

But no new information on the other two stories??? This is actually something I've wanted in Pokemon for a long time: a game that isn't JUST doing the gym challenges. Like I always thought it'd be cool if you could play a game and do contests instead of gyms as your points of progression. So I'm a little iffy that they say there's three stories... but the only one they talk about is the gym story. Do you have to do all three at once, or can you only go down one for a whole playthrough? I kind of hope its the latter, because the replayability of this game would be GREAT.

I WANT THAT EEVEE BACKPACK (hint for new Eevee? please? New Eevee? Just a crumb of Eevee?)

"Co-op play" do NOT make me interact with other human beings you bastards

Oooooh the tera types thing is neat. Kind of like hidden power, but a whole gimmick on its own. I'm more into this crystal thing now.

Ok looks like you don't just have to wear the dumb school uniform the whole time? I hope not. It looked like there was a shot of someone wearing like a hoodie and other clothes.

Overall I'm like... 6-7/10 on this right now. It has some neat stuff. I really like the idea of the box legendary being with you the whole time (I wish they'd done more with that in Sun and Moon), the open world freeform gym order is a really great idea, I like the pokemon we've seen so far, and the multiple stories has me intrigued. But I gotta see more before I really commit.

I was leaning more toward Violet but... tbh... I think the Scarlet legendary's wheels look less stupid on their riding form and I'm shallow enough to let that sway me if I don't see more tangible differences between them in Violet's favor

[toomanythought]

A critique of the magic knight captain's outfits because that's the kind of mood I'm in.

1. Charlotte

I've decided that she has the best outfit of anyone here.

She's got several colors going on, but most of them are neutral so It's ok

Blue and silver with gold accents isn't really a color scheme you can go wrong with

Could use a little more armor, but overall a rather practical look

Could stand to loose the helmet but overall not bad

10/10 something I would wear

2. Dorothy

I'm loving the energy of the pink in this one.

Honestly very pretty aesthetic

Not a lot going on, pretty much only pink w/ some black and white accents (There are two different shades of pink but that's ok because they're in separate pieces and nothing else is going on)

The green on her hat really helps make the pink less overwhelming, a great choice

Minus points because those shorts look a little bit like underwear and her boots should probably be black.

9/10 wouldn't wear it but I'd recommend a friend

3. The Vermilions:

It's pretty much the exact same outfit but Mereoleona wears it so much better.

The red and orange is kind of a bad combo, and I thought it was basic knowledge that redheads should avoid wearing red

The blue does work to cut this a bit though, so it's not as overwhelming as it could be

Kinda iffy on the pink sash. It really should match the cape by outfit laws, but I think that would put too much red in the entire thing

Fuegoleon you're pretty but that outfit really isn't doing it for you. Minus points for the lack of titty window. In the future show more skin. 6/10

Like I said, it's basically the same outfit, but Mereoleona wears it with a very different energy and manages to make it look good. I get pirate queen vibes. 8.5/10

Overall 7/10; I might wear elements of it.

4. Rill

The clothing needs a different style/cut but the colors are decent.

His cape doesn't class with his hair, and he's got the light colors well balanced with the dark

He looks like he's outgrown his pants though

Like seriously

They're a bit too short to be wearing without boots

And at least wear some socks to cover it up

Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say he hit a growth spirt and Walter hasn't had time to let out the hems

Shoes make me think of Tinker belle

6/10 I like the colors but he really needs different pants, and maybe shoes

5. Yami

Surprisingly not the worst but I am not without criticism.

He's got an aesthetic going that allows him to get away with a bit

As an outfit it's ok, but there's a distinct lack of professionalism going on

Sir are you really going to wear nothing but a tank top 24/7?

Also the over pant thingies make it look like he's wet himself

I like the creativity with the squad robe. No one else wears it like that

His outfit was better when he was with the Grey Deer

Can' figure out what's up with those boots

5/10. I'd never recommend wearing it but it's got a practicality to it.

6. Nozel

My dude you're rich enough to afford a stylist.

We're not even talking about the hair at this point, there are so many things that need straightened out

The ocean/teal blue he's got going on does not work with the periwinkle.

Also what's up with the pant leg cut outs. I really fail to understand the practicality of them

Why are there sandals

We are fighting people

Please wear close toed shoes

Also feathers and fur? Get it together my dude

While we're at it the feathers are kinda ugly in arrangement

3/10 I feel like someone failed to successfully merge two different outfits together.

7. Kaiser

I don't have a lot to say. It's pretty bland.

Very shapeless and fluffy

I'm honestly getting hot just looking at it

Aside from the buttons + gloves and squad robe, there's not much going on

I don't have many critiques of the squad robe. It's purple and yellow. Nothing too horrible.

5/10. Very generic and boring. Don't like at all but it's hard to come up with concrete bad things

8. Jack

Sir do you understand the purpose of clothes

It looks like an armored outfit so you get practicality points

What is up with all the leather straps

They literally serve no purpose

Please put on a proper shirt that covers your midriff

The pants/shoes combo is kinda sketchy

He needs to have either the black or the green running all the way up

Bracelets?

2/10. It's just... ugly

9. William

Sir I know your life sucks but please learn how to dress yourself. Your squad wears the uniform too and you aren't doing them any favors.

Feathers and fluff. Are you a bird dude? Is that your magic? No. It's trees. I know you like birds but you don't need to look like one

Please don't get me started on the colors

For posterity's sake I will now list every color contained within this outfit:

White

Gold

Red

Dark Red

Tan? Light gold?

Dark blue

Lighter blue (but only in one place and it's not touching the dark blue)

Purple. Because this outfit needed some more pizzazz.

White

Black

Get some pink and green and you'll be representing all the squads with ease

The style and cut is actually pretty good but the colors are beyond horrid

He tells Julius that the mask is tacky and then continues to wear it

And also match the rest of his clothing to it

He should have kept the mask as a statement piece and kept the outfit as one or two colors.

Honestly a very in character outfit because it demonstrates his inability to choose a side

3/10 I guess. I like some things about it but there's just too much going on. Bad overall outfit. Needs help desperately. Ask Mimosa. I have a feeling she realized it was bad.
