august 2024 episode of octavinelle + 4koma update

You know the drill by now!

Spoilers for the 4koma and the Episode of Octavinelle chapter 12 below the cut. As a reminder, the Episode of Savanaclaw won’t be updating again until winter.

🫵 THERE THEY ARE…

THE SMOOTH CRIMINALS…

The poses in this opening page are so good; Leona sat all lax like a boss who knows who’s large and in charge, Ruggie leaning against the chair and swinging the keys to the vault around on one finger… The posing perfectly captures their personalities and roles in relationship to one another.

Once again, Azul makes many fantastically desperate and despair-filled expressions this installment 😭

Falling to his knees???? Laying flat on the floor??? Man is UNMATCHED when it comes to theatrics.

I like this shot of Azul and Leona’s gazes lining up; it really helps give you the sense of two rivals sizing each other up.

(Side note: you can also tell how much painstaking detail the artists went through to include their eye makeup in these close-ups. Hats off to them for the extra effort, it looks great!)

… WHY DiD THEY hAvFTA mAkE HIM So smUGHERE 💀

damn i wish i was that stack of contracts

… I mean what

sorry

Sorry

SORRY

I got distracted there, what were we talking about again????

AYO they always make Leona casting King’s Roar look so darn cool in the manga 😭

My favorite panel in this sequence has to be the one with the text bubbles. He looks so nonchalant and a little stern as he speaks the chant… The shadows on his face add a lot to the atmosphere of it!

This chapter is the part where Leona gets to sanding Azul’s hard work away! Look at how beautifully drawn Azul’s reaction is ✨

The particle-y effect of the contracts melting into sand is nice 😌 It feeds Azul’s tears… Tasty meal…

MOU YADA IN MANGA FORM IS PEAK

lmao Azul for real threw a tantrum, flailing his limbs and everything 🤡 Love that even Leona and Ruggie have NO idea how they should respond to this.

Oh no, here comes the OB…

The anguish Azul’s experiencing is really coming through. He’s sweating so much and his entire face is so. Er… for lack of a better term, twisted.

I think seeing the blot leaking out from each of them helps to illustrate that they’re truly being overwhelmed and consumed by their own inner darkness. It’s sad to see 😔

We cut back to Yuuta and co. squaring off against the twins!

I wanted to point out and comment on these parts with Jack. He’s not a character that I usually pay much attention to, but I gotta commend him for fighting back so hard and trying to shield the picture even when he’s clearly got no chance of winning. Jack bearing his fangs at Floyd with pupils contracted… 🫶 Very good and loyal pupper! I get the Jack appeal now, lol

I LOVE THIS

It reminds me of the similar Azul-Leona framing earlier in the chapter, though with a different context. I like that this shows how the twins are in sync and coming to the same terrible conclusion.

Not long after, they rush to Azul’s side—which makes me think that these two worry for his wellbeing 😭 THEY DONmT SAY IT OUT LOUD BUT THEY CARE

Oh yeah, here it comes… OB Azul has arrived!! 👀

I MEAN YEAH it’s not good for his health, but I’m so hyped for the battle and flashbacks to his childhood! Baby!Azul shall NOT escape our sight…

The 4koma this month centers on Jack, Vargas, and others (Jade, Kalim, Deuce) talking about using transformation magic for racing.

dhejeveiwhwuow I would say more, but I actually didn’t find this 4koma that remarkable. It’s a generally the boys chatting about animals and their different activities they excel at.

Begonia (Yandere Leona)

Part 1 of the Flower Language Series

I got these meanings from the internet, so some may be wrong. Sorry if that is the case, but please ignore my mistakes.

Please do not request the Flower Language Series.

Title: Begonia

Pairings: Leona Kingscholar x Reader

WARNINGS: Yandere themes

Flower meaning: Beware

Summary: Leona has always scared you. Turns out, that was for a good reason.

To be honest, all of the dorm heads intimidated you.

Riddle, as you had come to know through Deuce and Ace, was probably the strictest person you had ever met. He had hundreds of rules, most of which were oddly specific, and he collared anyone who broke them, making them lose their magic until he saw fit.

Even as someone with no magic to your name, it still scared you.

Azul was a scheming bastard, tricking people into making contracts that put them at a severe disadvantage, then stealing something from them when they inevitably failed.

Then, there was the floating tablet. The device was supposedly controlled by a housewarden back in his dorm, but it was strange enough to creep you out a little.

Malleus was absolutely terrifying, with his horns that looked like they could skewer you and an expression on his face like he just might do that if you looked at him wrong. Plus the rumors of his power made you tremble in his presence.

Kalim and Vil, you had to admit, didn’t seem too bad from what you’d seen. You would still have to get to know them to make a final judgment.

But the one who scared you most was Leona Kingscholar.

His face was twisted into a menacing frown, his green eyes glaring at everyone around him like they personally annoyed him. He was muscular and stood at a daunting 6 feet tall. He had a scar down one eye- an injury that made you wonder how he got it. 

You had to admit, he was handsome, but he also terrified you. You knew from the moment you saw him that he wasn’t someone to mess with. 

—------------------------------------------------

You liked to walk through the botanical gardens. There were all kinds of beautiful trees and flowers, some the same as the ones in your homeworld, and others that you were sure were unique to the world you had found yourself in.

Your eyes moved from each plant, never looking down at your feet. Why would you, when there was so much to see and smell?

You should have looked down.

Suddenly, you pitched forward, your foot catching on something. You tried in vain to keep your balance, but you ended up on your hands and knees anyway. Your knees and palms felt like they were on fire and, when you lifted your right hand, you found that you were bleeding.

A growl sounded from behind you- one that sounded dangerously like a lion’s. Slowly, you turned your head.

Leona’s tail was lying in the walkway. The walkway you had just been walking down.

Oh my God, I tripped on his tail!

“I am so sorry!” you spluttered, standing up as quickly as possible, “I wasn’t paying attention!”

“Clearly,” Leona snarled, baring his teeth. You couldn’t help but notice that his canines ended in sharp fangs. He got to his feet and you cowered as his shadow fell over your figure. He was even taller up close.

“I’m sorry,” you squeaked.

“You should be,” Leona snapped, “I was taking a nap and you disturbed my sleep.”

You trembled under his gaze. He looked down at you like a predator sizes up its prey. 

The warm garden seemed to drop 50 degrees. The shadows of the tall trees seemed to stretch into the shapes of clawing hands. Your nose no longer smelled the sweet scents of the flowers.

Leona looked you up and down and a smirk spread across his lips. You didn’t know that he could smile, but somehow, it was worse than his frown.

“You’re that magicless girl with no home to go back to, aren’t you?” he asked.

You nodded meekly, then changed your mind “I do have a home to go to, the mirror just couldn’t find-” you fell silent at the glare he sent your way. A scowl that clearly told you to shut up.

Leona took a few steps forward and leaned in toward your neck. You froze, unable to move if you tried. He took a deep inhale and, finally, leaned back to look you over once again.

“I can’t smell a speck of magic on you,” he said condescendingly, “You really don’t belong here, do you?”

You weren’t sure what to say, so you stayed quiet. Leona took a step forward and you took a step back in response. Leona's predatory gaze followed your every move, a wicked smile playing on his lips. 

“I- I have to go,” you stuttered, mouth feeling as dry as the desert.

“I’m not stopping you,” Leona replied, his voice a deep rumble, as though he thought you were amusing.

The only problem was, you had to get past him to leave the botanical garden. You trembled from head to toe as you squeezed by him. You swore you could hear him take another sniff of you as you passed him.

You walked robotically to the exit, your mind on autopilot as you left the frightening housewarden behind. As you left, Leona called out to you one last time.

“I’ll have you make it up to me, little mouse.”

—--------------------------------------------

You didn’t return to the botanical garden after that incident. However, Leona seemed to pop up wherever you went.

You weren’t in the same classes, yet he appeared in the hallways outside each of your classrooms. He had to have been skipping class for some of these occurrences. 

He didn’t do anything to you, but you knew that he was there for you by the way his green eyes locked onto your form, boring holes into the back of your head as you hurried away from him.

The first time he showed up at your dorm scared you to death.

You had just been hanging out with Deuce and Ace at the Heartslabyul dorm, goofing around while getting a small amount of homework done. Grim raced ahead of you, his small figure disappearing in the darkness before suddenly reappearing, running toward you with a worried expression on his face.

“Did you invite that Savanaclaw Housewarden over?” Grim asked hesitantly.

“What?” it felt like you had been doused with cold water, spreading down your back and making you shiver, “No, of course not! Please tell me he’s not…”

“He’s there,” Grim jumped up and down, “What are we supposed to do? Do we fight him?”

“No!” you said quickly, “We’ll just have to ask him what he wants.”

Your feet felt like lead, dread weighing you down as you headed back to Ramshackle Dorm. Sure enough, Leona Kingscholar’s himself came into sight. The intimidating lion prince stood on your doorstep, facing you and Grim as you helplessly made your way toward him.

“L-Leona,” you stuttered, your heart speeding up in fear, “What are you doing here?”

The man looked at the broken down house you lived in, “I came to see what the excitement was about your dorm. I wanted to know why Azul was so interested in getting his tentacles all over this place.”

You nodded, not really understanding what he meant, but wanting to agree with him nonetheless. You really didn’t want to upset him.

Leona looked down at you, a bored expression on his face. 

There was something wrong with him, you decided. It took you a few seconds to find out just why he put you on edge so much. 

It was his eyes. They were clouded with an emotion you couldn’t decipher and locked on you. The gaze was purely predatory, making you feel small and helpless compared to him.

“I really don’t see what the excitement is about,” Leona said, condescending once more, “It looks like any old shack to me.”

Grim shook a clenched paw at him, “Hey! We’re working on fixing it up! You should see the bedroom- we totally remodeled it!”

Leona gave Grim a disdainful frown, “Ah, I see you still have the raccoon with you.”

“I’m not a raccoon!” Grim yelled.

You grabbed Grim’s shoulder as he attempted to advance on Leona, shrieking, “Lemme at him! Lemme at him! We’ll see who’s a raccoon!”

To your surprise, Leona laughed. Then, as if nothing had happened, his face resumed its familiar frown. His eyes locked onto yours, the hungry gaze making you tremble in fear once more.

He didn’t say a word as he slunk away from Ramshackle dorm, merely staring you down, even as he disappeared into the darkness.

You opened the door to your dorm and you and Grim made a beeline for the bedroom. You each got in your respective beds without you even changing into your pajamas. You stared up at the ceiling, fully awake. Hours ticked by and still sleep evaded you.

Why did you still feel as if you were being watched?

—-------------------

That day you didn’t see Leona after any of your classes. It should have put you at ease, but instead it put you on edge. Had he grown bored of you?

Somehow you didn’t think that was the case.

Since it was a Friday, the teachers decided to assign a mountain of homework to do. You struggled to fit all of your textbooks in your backpack, but the struggle to carry them all was even harder.

Grim and you split ways; you deciding to get an early start on your homework while Grim went to goof off and put it off to the last minute.

You trudged all the way to Ramshackle dorm and struggled up the stairs. As soon as you had gotten to your room, you let the backpack drop, panting for breath after all the labor you had endured.

When you opened the door, time itself seemed to stop.

There, on your bed, lay Leona, a sharp-toothed smirk playing across his face. He cocked his head at you in an almost-cute way, but you weren’t deceived. Not when his heavy gaze was so predatory.

“You sure took your time getting back,” he drawled, his smirk turning sly.

You stumbled backward, “Leona? How did-”

“Ah, the perks of being a cat,” he yawned, stretching out on your bed as if he owned it, “I can easily slip in undetected.”

Dread coursed through your veins, “Why are you here?”

“I wanted to be here when you returned,” he purred.

“Stop acting like this is normal! This isn’t-”

“Normal is boring, little mouse,” Leona sighed, pushing his body into a sitting position, “You should be thankful that I’ve been guaranteeing your protection.”

“What?” you were struck dumb by his words.

“Night Raven College has its dangers,” Leona drawled, “You’re the only girl in an all boys’ school, after all.”

“I can handle myself thanks,” you said coldly.

Leona’s laugh echoed across the room, booming in your ears. Your cheeks heated up, feeling as though you were being looked down upon.

“You have no idea what could happen to you,” in a flash, Leona was right in front of you. You recoiled in shock, but one of his hands gripped your chin before you could get too far, “Someone could lock you away forever, and you wouldn’t be able to do a thing.”

He leaned forward until his hot breath played across your face, “Do you understand?”

You managed to nod, knowing there was only one answer he would accept.

“Don’t worry, little mouse,” Leona purred once more, “You’re under my protection. No one would dare hurt you as long as I watch over you.”

The way Leona looked down at you made you feel like you were an insignificant, helpless little bit of prey playing right into his hands.

And to Leona, you probably were.

[sunthyme]

BABE, WAKE UP! PART FOUR'S OUT! Anyways, thank y'all so much for the support!! Every time I read y'all's tags and comments, I tear up istg y'all are so sweet. Have some photos of my kitten as a treat.

Onto...

🏵️Scarabia🏵️

So I believe they have the least amount of members out of all my headcanoned dorms so if y'all can think of some more villains for me to twst, I'd be more than happy to toss them in here lmao.

🦦Kalim Al-Asim🦦

omg they have an otter emoji cute!!

(he/him) Transmasc - Panromantic Asexual

My baby boy is so precious omggg

- I really didn't change a lot from the og design tbh, I love him. I did give him rounder and bigger eye for that cute puppy-eyed look.

- Stuck some freckles on him and gave him a tooth gap for max cutie patootie status. Oh, and some scars from previous assassination attempts.

- I'm really partial to Kalim and Ruggie or Kalim and Silver personally (or both, Kaiplim does have two hands for a reason) but I see them as a little friend group regardless and he LOVES spoiling them.

- Ruggie at first befriended him for the money aspect but eventually grew to like being around Kalim anyways. Silver just likes to listen to Kalim talk. Was also his first friend outside of Diasomnia.

- Kalim has ADHD and dyslexia, making it super hard for him to concentrate in class so Ruggie helps him study for tests (Kalim always bring food along with so it's mutually beneficial lmao). Because of this, people end up thinking he's dumb but he's super intelligent, he just can't concentrate easily. Crewel lets him have different fidgets in class as long as he doesn't accidentally disrupt his potion-making with them.

- Kalim's also highly empathetic and view himself as a support to all (maybe I am a Kalim kin too, fuck). He loves to listen to other and help out. God, he's such a cutie omg. Also has really good memory in specific about remembering who tells him what.

God I love Kalim so much, the cutie patootie. Still on Book 4 so I don't know ALL of the shit that happens yet but y'know it's gonna make me cry.

Next is

🐍Jamil Viper🐍

(he/it) Agender - Gay Demi-romantic Asexual

If I didn't think I changed a lot about Kalim, I changed practically nothing about Jamil lol.

- Biggest change was giving him a much redder skin tone. Not only is it closer to Jafar's, I felt it would look really nice with his general colour palette.

- Made his face a bit more angular and 'snake-like', plus some fangs but you can't see them lmao. Dimples because every time this man actually smiles, a new angel is born istg.

- I love him and Azul as a dynamic because it's two really emotionally constipated people dancing around each with a fun amount of delulu on Azul's part, let's be honest. Lowkey could be toxic or healing, who knows?

- He purposefully cooks too much some times as an excuse to give some away. I see him slides over an extra thing of food to Azul at some point as a sort of 'repayment' for like give him the homework or something. (Azul loves his cooking but wouldn't say that to his face for a hundred dollars lol).

- He and Trey cook together and Trey is like the only other person Jamil trusts in the kitchen with him. Trey teaches Jamil his family's baking recipes and in turn, Jamil share his cultural recipes. Trey 🤝 Jamil solidarity.

- Hella competitive streak which means Azul and Floyd find it incredibly easy to push his buttons.

- I know this is a lot of AshenViper but I love them lol. Azul tries to flirt with Jamil subtly like in the mer fashion of penguin-pebbling but Jamil is obviously unaware of the custom so he doesn't get it. (He does keep all the little shiny things, though over his dead body would he tell Azul that.)

Enough about my two favourite dumbasses... now for my ocs!

🌅Dareen Irfan🌅

Third Year - (she/her) Nonbinary - Sapphic Asexual

God, this is just the dorm for asexuals, huh?

- Dareen is twisted from the Cave of Wonders! I could not for the life of me tell what kind of cat it was so she's kinds ambiguous, especially since there's already another tiger.

- She is a very knowledgeable person and knows pretty much everyone. If you need information about someone you wanna ask out, she's your girl. She love playing matchmaker but respects when someone is not reciprocating and helps the rejected party move on.

- She and Oki are friends and like to do tarot readings together. (She may or may not have a massive crush on her but refuses to say anything lol). Both are very interested in cultural practices and hang out a ton to talk about them. (God I love sapphics)

- She's actually also on the basketball team and she and Jamil get along pretty well. She's very fast on the courts and Oki attends all of her games.

Next is one of my favourite designs...

🌼Chunying Liu🌼

Third Year - (they/it/she) Genderfluid - Aromantic Bisexual

- Twisted from Shan Yu, from Mulan! I kept the greyer undertones in her skin which really makes her standout among the warmer ones lol.

- Kept the gold eyes, I love how piercing they look, and darker makeup. Turned the furs into little earring tassel things, idk just for fun.

- Definitely outdoorsy type, she loves to hike around a ton, bring some other classmen out with her. She comes from a hella cold climate so she's wearing shorts until it hits the negatives. Loves horseback riding too and her family has their own stables.

- Natural leader, I can see it being the captain of a sports team, maybe like cross-country or something. She and Leona are probably pretty similar in demeanour as captains, make of that what you will.

- Her and Rook do archery practise together and she actually gets along great with Epel, they bond over winter sports and whatnot.

Time for probably one of my favourites out of my ocs!

🐯Chanda Singh🐯

Second Year - (she/her) - Bisexual

God I love her sm.

- Twisted from Shere Khan from the Jungle Book, which I looked up and it takes place in India so she's Indian.

- I didn't want to give her solid orange hair so I settled for some streaks and I love how they look. Gave her a bindi, some thicker brows based on a Pinterest reference that I though was GORGEOUS, and some beautiful hazel eyes.

- She's also likes to be outside but more in the lazy cat way. She love to sunbathe and tends to be spotted around the greenhouse too. Chanda and Leona having cat solidarity lmaoooo. Though her behavior is solely because she's a cat and not depression lol.

- I dunno why but I think she's a totally history nerd, specifically fashion history. Ask her anything about the origins of corsets or sarees and she's go on a long rant about it. She loving drawing, namely fashion sketches and she and Vil work together whenever she makes some prototypes.

Finally!

🦜Nasira Haqq🦜

First Year (she/they) Unlabelled Gender - Bicurious?

- Twisted from Iago! She's so cute lol. I gave her dyed hair (and pronouns) and she's a freshman.

- Kinda takes after Jamil and enjoys cooking, one of the primary people that makes food for the parties. She and Kalim get along really well since they're both really social extraverts.

- She's loves flowers and tends to decorate the dorm with them, changing them out when there's an event coming up.

That's most of everything for Scarabia, I hope you enjoyed! Tyty once again and I love seeing y'all's tags omg!🩷🩷🩷

[mokaisathome]

A mafia boss and his pet dog

[The mafia theming is totally absent actually but the spirit is there... Probably]

Now on AO3 too!

Rumors aren't anything new to Jamil. They spread around him constantly, shifting, changing, losing details, or adding ones depending on how far they go. It's just how it is when you're in a position as prized as his – people will talk, caring very little for how it'll affect you. He still pays attention to them despite how mundane or ridiculous most of them are because letting tattletales go unchecked is a pain he'd rather go without.

   The current rumors only bring him a headache though. One of his subordinates goes through them with a barely concealed smile, sometimes giving his opinion (“Wow, that's pretty elaborate” or “This is a bit too much even for them…”) despite Jamil only asking for a brief rundown. As he walks down the main hallway of his mansion while listening to his subordinate, he rubs his temples with a sigh.

   Did he find a beastman and bring him home a few weeks ago? Yes. Is it a wolf? Also yes. Is it so ferocious it attacks everyone even the people Jamil asked to take care of him? Definitely not. The rumor mill is broken. To put it simply, he could have picked up a puppy from the street, and it'd have gone the same… Except without talking. It'd have been much better actually.

   The two men guarding the room he stops in front of salute him solemnly before pushing the heavy wooden door, and he instantly braces himself when something leaps at him.

“Jamil!”

   Yes, that rumored fearful wolf, ready to sink his teeth in anyone who approaches him is in reality an overexcited teenager who's more interested in eating as many sweets as he can than intimidate people. In Jamil's line of work, the latter would have been useful. The former is undoubtedly not. The muffled mockeries of his subordinates reach his ears, and he dismisses them with a wave of the hand, letting them close the door behind him. Among his people, his reputation has taken a hit so perhaps having the normal population fear him through lies is better.

“Did you bring me something today?”

   Wordlessly, Jamil takes a piece of candy out of his pocket and the werewolf jumps off him, eager to receive his reward for… For nothing. He's been living here doing absolutely nothing. A total waste of resources. If at least he could be trained to act as a guard dog–

   His train of thought stops. That's not a bad idea. Jamil has never taken care of a dog but all they need is some training and rewards, don't they?

“Kalim,” he calls out, watching with a certain amusement as the beastman's ears perk up. “Give me your hand.”

   Kalim doesn't even question anything and places his clawed hand in Jamil's gloved one. Him being an idiot who listens to any order is nothing new – Jamil just has to model him to fit his new role.

“Show me your teeth.”

“'ike tha'?”

“Perfect.”

   A waste of some amazingly sharp fangs when all he does is eat candies, Jamil thinks as he passes his thumb over Kalim's teeth. From the corner of his eye, he catches his tail wagging back and forth. As he orders Kalim to do other things (“sit,” and “roll”, or “jump”), Jamil finds himself satisfied with his dog's performance. Perhaps there is still hope.

“Howl now.”

“Gaoooo!”

   No, that was a mistake. There's no hope to make anything out of him. The only people he could scare would be… Babies maybe. Jamil isn't even sure of that. With a sigh, he tosses the candy to Kalim who catches it midair and immediately starts fighting with the candy wrapper.

   These rumors should be fawned for as long as they can because the reality is much, much, much worse (for Jamil).

[elysia-nsimp]

TWST Headcanons!

Hello everyone! I'm starting a new series where I infodump about my headcanons for twst characters. Feel free to request certain characters if I haven't done them already. To start off, here's Jamil Viper! Please ignore the awful quality I swear I tried to fix it

So to start off, what changed physically?

His right eye isn't grey--it's muted green with red in the center. This is the eye his signature spell primarily comes from, which is where the red came from.

he has an eyebrow cut because i have one and its COOL

He has a widow's peak! (That's the point in his hairline, if that term is unfamiliar to you)

He has long, pointed ears. I will elaborate later.

He also has several gold earrings! He has 3 hoops on his other ear.

His tongue is split at the edge. It's not super visible in this card, though.

He also has a tongue piercing, it's a teardrop-shaped Ruby. He takes very good care of it.

Lastly, he has LONG fangs. They poke out of his mouth a little bit.

Elysia, what are these changes for?

Great question! Almost all of these have an explainable reason (except the eyebrow cut and the split tongue thing I just decided he would do that just because), and I'm here to explain them!

So to start off, what is Jamil? In canon, he's a human, pretty simple, but I decided humans are BORING and Jamil deserved to be non-human like the other super cool epic characters like the twins and Malleus (personal opinion alert). In this AU, Jamil is still partially human--mostly human, even--with both his parents being human (mostly), but further up his family tree, there are traces of both gorgon and genie ancestry. How'd he get those in his family tree? Well, long long time ago, an ancestor of Kalim found a lamp that Jafar used to inhabit. As their final wish, they freed the genie. As thanks, the genie decided to stick around and continue to offer help here and there. That genie found a partner out of their lamp, and thus, began the Viper family. Somewhere along the line, one of Jamil's relatives fell in love with a gorgon. Does this mean Jamil can grant wishes? Absolutely not. However, it IS why his family has been serving the Asims for generations.

What new abilities does this grant Jamil?

Honestly, not many changes about him. He isn't even aware he's not fully human, though he has questioned why he looks different than others. Here are a couple things that have been added or changed, though.

He's more inclined to want to help you if you preface whatever you want with "I wish" (he does not even notice this, do not mention it)

He's venomous! If he bites you, it'll paralyze you for about a half an hour, maybe an hour at the worst. He doesn't use this ability much... only if he feels like he or Kalim is in danger or he just REALLY wants someone to shut up.

He reall.y likes lamps.... he has no clue why he just likes lamps

His emotions are slightly easier read, because his ears tilt up or down depending on how he feels and he has zero control over that.

He has a slight lisp that he has spent YEARS training himself out of because of the fangs. It's barely noticeable if you're not listening for it.

Some other headcanons!

These are unrelated to the species change, but still worth mentioning!

Jamil's bisexual, but he was in HEAVY DENIAL for a DAMN long time. He just prefers he/him.

oh boy here's some diagnoses for you: Major clinical depression, anxiety/paranoia (lesser impact), C-PTSD, AUTISM!!!!!!! (he just like me frfr) (also he lives in his mask so it took him a while to figure that out), POTS, assorted other CHRONIC PAIN that hasn't been diagnosed yet

He collects gold jewelry because Kalim used to always want to buy him gold things. Its kind of just become habit to collect anything that looks gold because it was one of the nicer things in his childhood.

He takes EXTREMELY good care of all his jewelry! Especially the tongue gem, since it's the most likely to get infected.

Jamil has joint issues. It's not so substantial that he can't function, but sometimes his arm will pop out of place or ache like all HELL if he overworks himself too much. This is what he uses the arm brace for and why you see him rubbing his arm often. (this is partially based in canon, partially projection because I too am in chronic pain)

mention whipped cream around him and he will go insane (/neg/hj) (based on other RPs he's been in where it's a running gag revolving around him)

He and Najma both don't have great relationships with their parents. Especially after Book 4 and some mandated therapy, Jamil grew bitter of how much his parents pulled him back and made him fear just... talking to Kalim (ofc a lot more went into his blaming of Kalim, but his parents' influence was extremely damaging).

Jamil is extremely overprotective of Najma, even if he acts like she's a major nuisance in his life.

One time he passed out in front of Najma (which made her panic), only for him to sit the fuck back up, walk to the kitchen, and down an entire thing of salt in front of poor Najma's very eyes. She was HORRIFIED, but started laughing once he confirmed he was okay. (This is related to the POTS)

Jamil knows how to pick up fingerprints and has done so on several occasions (mostly to catch Najma after she stole his food)

This is all I can think of off the top of my head. This post may be edited in the future, but for now, thanks for reading my first in-depth headcanon post!!!

[twisted-wonderland-shenanigans]

So something that just occurred to me with Jamil in the Monster!AU: I never truly clarified until my last post just what exactly he is 😂

I know, I know: Faun, you wrote that species list! How could you not have it clarified?

Now you see, my lovelies, here's the thing: it was meant to be a surprise discovery when it comes to Chapter 4, but I got so wrapped up in the wholesomeness that it never occurred to me to clarify what I had planned for him. I was going to reveal it when it came to the Bestiary pages, but Octavinelle is being stubborn with helping me write it so I can move on to the other dorms, so I feel I gotta clarify here. >.>

Hey, at least it means more worldbuilding!

Keep in mind that this was actually hinted at in the concept sketch I did of him here with the question marks right next to his species name (he's the only one I did this to), and I only clarified it now here in this post I did recently.

Jamil may say that he's a naga, but in truth he's actually a gorgon--a naga/gorgon hybrid if you will.

See, in the Monster!AU, there are subspecies and variations of every monster. Some are easier to tell right off bat just looking at them, but just like genetics in humans and animals, some traits can be more dominant on a cosmetic scale than others, effectively making it harder to tell on first glance or without a DNA test.

A little bit of info on the species right off the top of my head:

Naga tend to be water based creatures in Twisted Monsterland (a title that someone wrote in an ask that I absolutely adored, so I'm gonna start using it!), which means they're typically found near or in large bodies of water. In recent years though it has gotten much easier for them to travel around the world, though they can and do still require substantial hydration to maintain their strength. Their venom is incredibly potent, yet they rarely use it due to their peaceful nature except to hunt or defend themselves.

Gorgons, on the other hand, are entirely desert based monsters. Physically they resemble naga in that their upper torsos are humanoid and their lower bodies are serpentine. The major difference, however, is their scales. Naga have smooth scales to swim through water, whereas gorgons have "armored" scales with spines on it, giving them a more horned appearance. These scales are incredibly strong, making them powerful bodyguards and fighters. Their greatest strength, however, lies in their gaze, which is said to have mysterious abilities that affect all who gaze into them. Their bite, however, is not always venomous depending on the region they're from, meaning in ages past they've had very little to no need for potent venom for prey or enemies.

Now, if Jamil is meant to be a gorgon, then why did I draw him smooth scaled? Easy: because of his heritage. Somewhere along the line, there was a naga that married into the Viper family, and as a result of genetics he and Najma appeared more naga-like than gorgon. They both have harder scales than a normal naga, making piercing with a weapon or claws or fangs difficult. This makes it much easier for them to appear unassuming even as they serve the al Asim family. Unlike his sister though, Jamil has inherited the gorgon ability to affect his targets using his gaze.

Normally, the most common ability gorgons possess is the gaze that can turn their targets to stone or crystal (just as an example). An incredibly rare trait, however, is the ability to hypnotize others for any extended period of time. Given how strong it is in the game, you can imagine how powerful it is in Twisted Monsterland...and why he would keep it a secret from all but Kalim and his sister. After all, it's a major risk for him to have such an ability and to not be regarded with suspicion, so he keeps it hidden to the point that everyone believes that he really is a naga.

Side note, this also means that Najma has the most venomous bite in the family given that she inherited that trait from their ancestor 😂 Jamil's is effectively a watered down version of it to the point that it can only cause a tingling numbness that lasts for a while if he bites someone, and why he resorted to learning other methods of offense.

That's all I've got at the moment, so I hope you guys enjoyed my ramblings~ UvU

VAMP AU - basics iv.

Curious about the Scarabia Coven, I see! It’s hard to blame you - these vampires are known to be rather eye-catching and charming folk.

CW: blood, death, stalking/hunting, religious imagery, dark/obsessive/possessive characters. this au is not NSFW, but it does deal with darker content and sometimes discusses sensuality and sensual topics. reader discretion is advised.

Dorm-Specific CW: slight referenced dubcon (non-sexual I just don’t know how else to describe it alskdfjkd)

overview. ❧ heartslabyul. savanaclaw. octavinelle. {scarabia.} pomefiore. ignihyde. diasomnia.

The Scarabia coven stays mostly within the vampire realm, although they do have their fangs lodged in many different economies and companies in Twisted Wonderland. They have a generally apathetic view towards humans and prefer to adhere to the traditions and customs of vampires. Those in the Scarabia coven who are in the human realm are usually plants and proxies to oversee trade that the coven is part of. These vampires are very good at charming humans and even other vampires, usually with their words. They tend to stay in the shadows and only show themselves if necessary. 

Because of their preference for the vampire realm, this coven is comprised mostly of true vampires. This also means that positions of power rarely are vacated (as those holding them cannot die), so there are many instances of inter-coven violence as a means to obtain this power. Vampires within the coven often hide the fact that they are in Scarabia to avoid revealing their true nature, but it is a point of personal pride. Most of these vampires have “biological” families that are very close. Unless an entire bloodline is destroyed, most belongings of one vampire will be passed down and shared among their family. 

Scarabia vampires don’t have a strong preference for how they obtain their blood, so long as it isn’t messy. Usually when feeding from a human, the human isn’t turned and rarely makes it out alive.

༻  ✞ ✟ ✞ ༺

Kalim Al-Asim - Immortal Bounty

Kalim is a special case within the Scarabia coven - he loves humans! He's even got Cater beat with how much he adores them, and he frequently sneaks to the human realm just to be around them.

The way Kalim dotes on humans is almost condescending, even if he doesn't mean it. They're just sooooo precious! When he thinks about how short their lives are, he wants to cry! They've got such cute trends and cute little teeth and they're not very strong even against fledglings and-

With his happy-go-lucky attitude, people often mistake Kalim for being unaware of the tensions between vampires and humans or deem him unfit to take over the coven should his father die. Most vampires think he doesn't even know how to charm others! But Kalim's easy-going attitude helps him easily disarm those around him - in fact, it’s his most formidable weapon.

(And also Jamil, who is now standing right behind you ^u^)

But seriously, you won't know how much he's figured out about you (or how much you've told him) until he's using it against you. He doesn't WANT to do that, though! He much prefers to use this information to give you a caring gift :3

Kalim desperately wants the troubles between vampires and humans to end. He doesn't want turned vampires to be seen as lesser, and he thinks humans would gladly offer themselves as sustainable food to their friends if vampires would STOP KILLING THEM. He's got no filter about his opinions, too, which places more targets on his back. He just values life and harmony, okay!!

Hey, this is just an idea, but…wouldn't it help his cause if he brought a human mate back to his realm?!?! Don't get lost in thought for too long, or you might find Kalim's gotten ahead of himself again and already has his fangs in your neck, his venom making your thoughts blur and your body go numb…

༻  ✞ ✟ ✞ ༺

Jamil Viper - Eternal Sacrifice

Jamil was (involuntarily) turned by Kalim a long time ago. When Jamil's first concern was his family (expressed in between bouts of the horrible pain in his mouth and a terrifying bloodlust), Kalim took that as a go-ahead to turn Jamil's family, too. This…wasn't appreciated, not at the time, but it sure made accepting his new fate easier. Jamil insists he's over it, but is still holding on to a piece of resentment that he was unwillingly and randomly turned just because a vampire was lonely. He's working on it. Kind of.

Vampiric tradition is a bit haughty in that it assumes a turned human will be grateful to be given eternal life. Because of this (and also because they are turned vampires and not true vampires, although this was never stated), Jamil and his family have been serving Kalim's "biological" family ever since they've been turned. His parents don't mind, as they genuinely are grateful for the gift of eternal life and the Asim's treat them well, but Jamil hates it. He never wanted to live forever, he never wanted an eternity of servitude, he never asked for any of this. Even though he's made peace with a large chunk of his troubles, Jamil still holds on to his resentment towards Kalim.

Jamil has no real opinions on the human realm, as any affinity towards it has gone away with the swift tides of the decades. Always the escort to Kalim, Jamil finds himself chasing after Kalim when he escapes to explore a new part of Twisted Wonderland. He enjoys how he's able to do whatever he wants in the human realm as long as Kalim's taken care of, and he's easily convinced to stay a little longer for a few times while he "relaxes" as much as he can.

Even though he's only a turned vampire, Jamil has a natural talent for magic. He's mastered everything that's been taught to him. He's great at charming people and doesn't even need to use hypnotic spells. His venom is super potent, but he could physically bring down a target with ease. Nobody cares too much about him upstanding Kalim like they do in canon, but he does still have to hide his abilities in order to not upset the egos of the true vampires within the coven.

Jamil is more human than he believes himself to be. He doesn't like killing humans he feeds off if and normally sends them away without anyone noticing. He misses the close bonds humans have and how everything seems more special when you know it's going to end. Strangely enough, he also misses sunbathing, or at least being able to. Sometimes, when he's alone and full off of a fresh feeding, he wills his heart to pump and let's himself pretend, for a moment, that he's human once more.

So, if ever he finds someone who makes his heart feel like its still beating, who makes him feel warm when he is so, so cold, and who can be irrefutably his for all time? Don't be surprised if he seems a little desperate to reclaim a piece of what he's already lost.

[hajimeshoe]

guess who's back and politely asking for a part 2 of my previous request but make it the vice housewardens. (Did I go to sleep? Fuck no)

Here ya go, Shiba! I loved writing this one too! Lilia especially, since I've recently gotten into a Lilia brain dump lol This one is a bit shorter tho

Trey

Trey canonically has little siblings, so someone who can consume sugar without getting super hyper? A refreshing break for him.

I did think about it for a bit and I don't think he'd instinctively treat you like one of his little siblings (like he does with Ace and Deuce lol)

Trey would recommend keeping low sugar intake, but he def wouldn't try to control it.

And I also can't see him being overly doting? Like, he wouldn't carry you to bed if he found you in a sugar coma, he'd just cover you with a blanket or something if it's cold.

Gives you forehead kissies and lets you sleep on his chest while he studies

He's so sweet, I love him

Ruggie

If he finds you in a sugar coma, you're waking up with drawings on your face #SleepoverRuleNumberOne

Like, you have no fangs or claws, tf are you gonna do to him?

Ruggie also does not give two fucks about your sugar intake. "I'm your boyfriend, not your dad"

May demand you share any with him tho

And if you get tired? Feel free to cuddle with him - for a price (which may or may not be kisses when you wake up...or helping handle his housewarden. depends on how exhausting Leona is that day)

"Ruggie Bucchi! You DREW A DICK ON MY FACE IN PERMANENT MARKER!"

"I love youuuuuu!"

Jade

Jade is a perfect gentleman, how dare you suggest otherwise

(cue a mischievous smirk)

You'll wake up from a sugar coma with a new pillow and blanket he gave you, go to get up...and fall in the pool inside the Octavinelle dorm.

He's such a caring and doting bf, ensuring you're comfortable and nobody will bother you

He does some reading, so he's definitely not as confused as Azul is about humans

But he still is a little confused at how tired you can get when you have sugar

Jamil

Can't Kalim be more like you?

Will get you pillows, blankets, anything you need

Also may just carry you to your room if Kalims more hyperactive that day

He'll try to diagnose you too, just not as over the top as Kalim

He does have some restraint, after all

Gives you a small kiss if you're just cuddled into his side

Rook

How beautiful!

You're so adorable when you're sleepy, mon cherie!

He's waking you up so that he can finish telling you how beautiful you are, then he'll let you go to sleep again

Unlike Vil, he won't give you a lecture (thank god) but this is somehow worse when you're tired and just want to sleep because of how much sugar you had?

"Rook, I love you, but if you don't shut up in the next five seconds, I'm throwing a textbook at you"

"...Bon nuit, mon cher!"

Aaaaand finally some peace and quite

Lilia

Draws on your face 2.0

Unlike Malleus, he knows there's nothing wrong with you

But he's just lowkey hoping drawing on your face will teach you to choose when you have sugar more carefully (sorry, daddy, not happening)

I feel like he'd tell you tales from some of his travels when you're sleepy

Or just tell you stories from his youth

But he will also carry you to either your room or his (whichever is closer) when you fall asleep

100% gives you a forehead kiss before he leaves

[twisted-broth]

Hello) Can I request headcanons for dorm leaders with a reader who works as a model (NAKED model) for an art club? He had this job before he got close to the boys and they know bout it, but now that they've started dating, how will they feel about it now?

I’m making the executive decision that the art teacher is Father Gothel x

Warnings: nudity (non sexual), suggestive themes, some jealousy and possessive behaviors

Riddle

Having grown up as wealthy as he did, Riddle is well aware that a good artist should be familiar with drawing human anatomy

But does it really have to be yours?!

He immediately gets angry at just the idea of one of those students staring at you for a bit too long

Of course he’s not angry at you! He whole heartedly wants you to do what you enjoy

He nearly tries to behead Prof Gothel when he says that only third years are allowed to sit in on the anatomy classes

They eventually come up with a compromise where Riddle sits in front of your little podium and glares daggers at every student who tries to draw you

The challenges of capturing human anatomy while also being under the unblinking stare of one of the most powerful students at school made drawing a little difficult

If he gets the sense that any student is looking at you for less than pure purposes, it’s off with their head

Leona

Okay? Do what you want he doesn’t care

I mean even if he does care there’s no way in hell he’ll let you know that

He’s clearly not thrilled about it but he makes that known in his own way

He won’t bother you while you’re working but he will walk you to and from every job and makes it painfully obvious to the students that you’re very much taken

The minute you leave the classroom he has his arm around your shoulders and loudly talks about how sexy you must have looked

On days when he’s feeling especially possessive he makes sure you’re covered in marks from him when you go in

The art students nervously analyze the hickeys on your thighs and neck, trying to capture the imprint of Leona’s fangs in their work

Of course Gothel throws a fit every time you come in looking “impure” (his words) but there’s really nothing he can do

The art students are all terrified of Leona. He really doesn’t even have to do anything they just know that he would beat the shit out of them if they ever even thought about you that way

Azul

No

He doesn’t like this at all

Azul is a very insecure person so when he learns that other men have been regularly seeing you naked, he nearly overblots again

It takes a lot of persuasion to talk some sense into him

Once he is able to understand what your work means to you and how it helps the students, he quickly starts working on a plan

He stays up all night writing out contracts for every art student and art club member that magically binds them into not getting horny

No, actually. That’s one of the clauses in the contract.

Gothel already had to go through so much to get this course approved and now he’s gotta deal with your octopus boyfriend smh

Once the contracts are signed and the students have been throughly threatened by the tweels, Azul’s insecurity has decreased by about 20%

He trusts you completely, but he’s still very finicky about it and would generally like to avoid mentioning it

Floyd gets into a lot of trouble in this aspect

Luckily Azul’s mood can be improved pretty easily with some private modeling sessions

Kalim

That’s so cool!!

Kalim has done a ton of modeling for paintings and family portraits so he knows how hard it is to sit still for that long

He’s also really happy that your confident enough with your body to do something like that

When you go into the discussion expecting him to be mad he does a complete 180. You doing something that makes you happy is literally his favorite thing in the world. No amount of jewels or money is as valuable to him as your happiness

If you let him then he hires the best painters in the scalding sands to do portraits of you together (clothed or otherwise) and he hangs them all around his room

Like Leona he also walks you to and from every session, but not to scare the art students, just to hype you up or ask how it went

If he goes into one of his mood swings then he might snap at the art students, but that’s usually not the case

He is just the most wholesome boy and he loves you so much

Vil

Vil also does a lot of modeling so he understands how not big of a deal it is

Once he learns that you model as well then he’ll book as many couples gigs as he can (clothing optional)

Prof Gothel had been begging Vil to model for the art club for literally every year he’s been at school and is so happy when he finally agrees to pose for them with you

It’s so hard to stand still in the middle of the room when your super hot and very naked boyfriend is posed right next to you, staring into your eyes

Many sessions have ended with the two of you hastily leaving the art classroom to release some pent up tension

The sexual tension would probably be awkward if the art students weren’t distracted by the impossible task of trying to capture the beauty of you two

Rook somehow manages to get his hands on every drawing of you- with Vil or without- and will fawn over them for hours

Pretty much all of Pomefiore worships you. Some of them have started a fan blog for you where they pick apart your outfit and makeup and give advice on how to look more like you

And the art club got a lot of new members for some reason

Idia

One hit KO!!!

Now Idia is cursing himself for never having taken any art classes

While he does have some appreciation for art, I don’t think that he would be able to understand what you’re doing the way others could

He mostly just sees it as you being naked and stared at by a bunch of guys

He’s probably watched an anime with that plot

He can’t bring it up himself because he will get super embarrassed and his hair will turn pink, but if someone else makes some snide comment about your work then he’s all over their ass

He’s quick to remind people that he is a very powerful dorm leader and he will kick ass and take names if anyone says something less than positive about you

Of course he thinks that you’re incredibly attractive but he would actually combust if he saw you naked

One time you got ahold of one of the drawings of you and slide it into Idia’s bag when he wasn’t looking

When he finds it in the privacy of his room your phone blows up with texts and eventually pictures and videos from Idia

Despite the confidence in his texts, he still can’t look you in the eye for a few days

Malleus

(I have a hard time with malleus hopefully this isn’t too out of character)

Malleus doesn’t really get jealous. You’re his first relationship and he’s never had a reason to not trust you so he does

He’s also modeled for a few portraits but he’s not a huge fan so he will not be joining you

In general he has no reaction to your side gig. He would react the same if you told him you worked at the grocery store

Even though Malleus doesn’t make many public appearances, word has gotten around that the two of you are together

The art students are terrified

Attendance actually drops for a while when you start modeling, but they come back when they realize Malleus isn’t going to kill them

They even get to see small glimpses of Malleus being an actual human being when interacting with you and not the myth that they thought he was

Sebek does not react as calmly but he’ll be fine once Malleus tells him it’s fine

[miss-tc-nova]

Fangs - Leona x Jamil

Yep, I found my TWST ship. Yay! More about it later. 

Also, I AM taking suggestions on the ship name. Halp. 

Inspiration: This Video (WARNING: the song is VERY explicit)

Premise: Jamil doesn’t know what to do with his free time, but Leona exposes his fangs.

~~~~~

              Well this is an unusual moment of calm. Its rarity leaves the young man disorientated. All of his chores are done and he can’t do much more prep without being wasteful. For once, Jamil’s free and he has no idea what he’s supposed to do with it.

              The pop music club is attending a concert today hosted by Night Raven College and, as long as they help with the setup, the club gets free tickets to the show. This means Kalim is busy all day, leaving Jamil high and dry on his own. Sure, this had been in the making for like three months, but something in the young retainer didn’t believe that it would ever happen; it had been a pipe dream proposed by the silly club trio after all. Even as they spent the last week excitedly preparing, Jamil never truly came to terms with it. Of course, he would be attending the concert as well—not willing to leave Kalim alone in a crowd—but until then, the prince would be with his club mates and not in need of babysitting. Hopefully.

              At first, Jamil nearly convinced himself to go help out just for something to do—or perhaps to have his eyes on Kalim. Regardless of the reason, he’s decided on not going. Still, deciding on what to do now is proving surprisingly difficult. Before he can lose too much time, however, homework in the library becomes the chosen endeavor.

              Jamil wanders towards the back of the room, finding a quiet table in a lonely corner. The pen scratches away in the silence, filling in each answer with ease. Homework is generally nothing challenging for the boy; in fact, most time is wasted as he rereads his every answer to gauge potential grades. It wouldn’t do to draw attention with high marks—no matter how smart he really is.

              A pointed period dots the paper, followed by a sigh of disappointment. Even in solitude, this is his life.

              As Jamil shifts in his seat to continue, his foot meets an uneven surface.

              “Ow! Son of a bitch!”

              Air catches in his chest at that voice. From below the table pops a pair of ears, followed closely by a pair of glowering green eyes. It was a tail that he stepped on—that of Savanaclaw’s housewarden: Leona Kingscholar.

              “A-Ah, my apologies,” Jamil says, more surprised than apologetic.

              The man sits upright, full of annoyance and every muscle in Jamil’s body prepares for escalation. “I should put you on your ass for that.” A yawn shows off those pointed canines. “You’re lucky the sun’s out.”

              Of course he’d be napping here; it’s quiet and the sun is shining through the window right onto the sofa Leona had been dozing on.

              “I see. How fortunate for me.” Jamil reaches for his bag. “I can find another place to study if you’d like to continue sleeping.”

              A hand waves him down. “Forget it. I’m up now.”

              It’s an unexpected statement that thwarts the escape and Jamil finds himself unsure whether or not he should still make a run for it.

              Eyeing the younger student, Leona comments, “I see you’re not sulking after that little prince of yours.��

              A bit ruffled, Jamil turns his sights back on his work. “I do not sulk.”

              “Sure sure. You can hide those fangs all you want, but I know a killer when I see one.”

              The pen, gripped tighter, continues scratching away. “We’ve had this discussion before; I’ve never had such a thought in my life.”

              “Except when you actually killed that guy two years ago.”

              Suddenly tearing through the paper, the writing utensil veers off course. Charcoal eyes bolt to the lion; his mind barely contains the shock to maintain his composed face. But Leona is a hunter who’s done his homework. He knows and, even without the stationary snafu, has probably picked up every sign of surprise.

              It’s impressive how smooth Jamil’s voice remains. “There was no proof that I was the culprit for that man’s unfortunate end.”

              Oh, Leona’s smug grin is both fascinating and imposing. “Oh right. The whole investigation got dropped because there wasn’t enough evidence.” A fist presses against the prince’s cheek. “Served him right anyway.”

              Any sudden change in conversation would only pique Leona’s interest. Jamil chooses to play along. “You think so?”

              “Yeah. Kalim probably wouldn’t even be here if that man had managed to sneak that viper into his room.”

              “It was a cobra.”

              It’s ever so slight, but the way those eyes gleam show the predator closing in. “Funny. The report never actually stated what kind of snake it was—only that he was bitten by his own trap before it escaped.”

              Jamil’s blood runs like ice as Leona leans closer.

              “The man was found in the hall. Kalim claimed to have been studying for entrance exams at that time. So, tell me, when exactly did Kalim’s habit of having evening tea to help him study begin?”

              Teeth gnash together, terrified to say anything else.

              “’Cause that would put that guy right in your path on your way back to him. And of course, no one would suspect an average kid like you to have awakened his signature spell yet.” Emerald eyes have him completely cornered and Jamil couldn’t look away if he wanted. “Bet he never had a chance when you made him stick his hand in the bag.”

              This is bad; so bad. Leona’s accusation could possibly reopen the entire investigation. His image would be obliterated, ruining innocent lives in the process.

              The words rumble in the victorious hunter’s chest. “Harmless retainer, my ass. You’re every bit a snake as your name.”

              He has to put a stop this—to silence this nosey cat before he can spread the truth.

              The entire charade goes out the window. “Not that I actually care. It’s old news and only a moron would underestimate even a prince’s youngest retainer. So you can stop plotting to kill me.”

              All the tension drains from Jamil in a wave of disbelief. “What?”

              Leaning back, Leona crosses his arms. He’s not even vaguely concerned about drawing Jamil’s venom. “I ain’t no snitch.”

              And Jamil believes him. Having long since learned even the smallest signs, he finds no trace of deceit in the finicky feline. Jamil is still cautious, yet it’s marred with relief and something else he can’t quite put a finger on. Here sits someone, knowing one of his darkest secrets, and he doesn’t even care. Refreshing might be the word. No, that’s not quite it.

              Leona hums, “I bet Kalim doesn’t even know what you did for him.”

              A breathy laugh escapes the retainer. “Defended me every second I was being interrogated.”

              “Damn, that kid’s all sunshine and rainbows. How can you stand bein’ around that all the time? Don’t you just wanna tear that stupid, smiling face open?”

              There’s no use lying. “It’s…It’s not worth it.”

              “Why? ‘Cause you think it’ll ruin that perfect servant thing you’ve got goin’ on?”

              Fingers fidget with the torn work. “If only.”

              “Lemme guess, your family depends on your ability to keep the prince safe and happy,” Leona scoffs. “Your parents made their choices and it ain’t dependent on you.”

              Jamil bites back. “And what about my sister?”

              There’s backtracking. “I guess…”

              “You think I haven’t thought about how others see me? That’s all I think about and for good reason.” Leona doesn’t press, giving Jamil the chance to reel in his nascent frustration. “Why are you doing this? Are you trying to blackmail me to get at Kalim?”

              “Nah, he’s boring as hell—nothin’ I get outta that friendship.” Cat eyes look him over. “You, on the other hand, make a pretty interesting plaything.”

              His nose scrunches. “Plaything?”

              “You make lookin’ average a sport, but I wanna see what you can really do.” Intrigue gleams in his expression. “What kind of venom are you hiding?”

              “It’s unwise to play with snakes,” warns the second year.

              “Why? You gonna bite?” A fang glints in that grin. “’Cause I might be into that.”

              A flash of fire surges into Jamil’s ears. “Excuse me?!”

              That deep chuckle turns up the heat. “What’s wrong? Can’t hide behind that mediocre façade with me, so you might as well play the game.”

              Flustering aside, there’s no denying the temptation simmering in the lion’s offer. “And what game is that?”  

              “Take your pick.”

              A knuckle meets his chin in contemplation. He wasn’t prepared for anything like this, let alone for it to come from Leona Kingscholar. Accepting may lead to further discontent down the line or perhaps worse. Still, it proves too much for Jamil to pass up.

              “Alright. Let’s play.”

              It doesn’t take long for the two to leave the library and make their way to the Savanaclaw Dorm. Anticipations swells in him as Jamil faces the housewarden on the spelldrive field. He’s never had a chance to go all out for fear of upstaging Kalim, but now he has a chance to find out what he’s really capable of. And he knows it’s nothing to scoff at.

              Across the field, Leona waves him on. “Go on. Impress me, little snake.”

              Surprising him, a smile tugs at Jamil’s lips. “Oh, big kitty wants to be entertained?”

              “I want an opponent worth crushing.” The disc hovers in the lion’s palm.

              Digging his heels into the dirt, Jamil readies himself. “We’ll see who’s crushed when I win.”

              “Show me those fangs of yours.”

~~~~~

              He lost.

              Jamil lost to Leona. Even so, in this moment of defeat, as he lays in the dirt staring up at the dusky sky, a smile splits his face.

              “Yo.” The lion leans over him, instigating that elation with his heavy breathing. “You dead yet?”

              It brings laughter to his lips. “No. Not yet.”

              Leona cracks a grin. “Good. So I can kick your ass again later.”

              “Don’t get too full of yourself; you won because I missed the disc by three centimeters at most.” The Scarabian accepts the hand that pulls him up.

              “A win’s a win, Little Snake.”

              “That I concede—” Jamil returns the cocky expression. “—but next time my fangs won’t miss.”

              “We’ll see about that.” Leona’s pride slips somewhat. “You didn’t hold back, did you?”

              He sighs truth. “Not even a little.”

              “Good.”

              Grey eyes wander that brash confidence. This is not how he intended to spend his free time from his never-ending job, but words cannot begin to describe this euphoria.

              Before he realizes what he’s doing, Jamil’s lips meet Leona’s face. Immediately after, Jamil feels he’s been set alight. Even the prince is surprised and the snake pulls his hood over his face, wishing he could slither away and never leave his room again.

              But the upperclassman laughs. “If you’re gonna thank me, you could at least kiss me properly.”

              Jamil peers from beneath his jacket. That’s it. That’s exactly what that meant to him. He’d never seen Leona as more than a spoiled prince, just as he had Kalim. The royal had never given him any reason to think otherwise and was actually rather selfish and stubborn. Yet there’s no denying that Leona had given him something no one else ever had—an opportunity to be himself to the fullest—and he’s grateful more than he could ever express.

              But he can’t let the Big Kitty win all the games.

              A smirk in place, Jamil forces the tension away. “Maybe next time.”

              “You mean the next time I win,” the elder goads.

              “Sure. You win and I’ll give you a kiss.” Oh Seven, the words coming out of his mouth. “But if I win, you kiss me.”

              That grin, unlike before, holds a hint of sincerity that causes Jamil’s heart to stutter. “Sounds like a bet to me.”

              The gap between them vanishes with the housewarden looming over the underclassman. Hot breath ghosts his face, but Jamil’s own lungs fail to function.

              “Until then, you better sharpen those fangs, Little Snake.”

              Excitement pulls at the corner of his lips. “Big Kitty better take his own advice. It’d be a shame to neglect my warning about playing with snakes.”

              “Oh, don’t worry.”

              That tongue across his lips instantly snipes Jamil’s gaze.

              “I plan to make the most of my new plaything.”

Nova’s Twisted Wonderland Masterlist

[twst-bs]

What if someone (with money or power) threatens the dorm leader to break up with mc because the dorm leader is not fit to be with mc and he (the one with money) deserve her better.

Will it become quite epic?

This isn't quite as in depth as my other work, sorry Nonnie!! Also, I didn't make a scenario for Malleus solely because I couldn't think of a situation where someone would have the balls to come up and threaten him, haha.

I hope this was worth the wait!!

-----

Riddle: “She deserves someone with better anger management, don’t you think?”

Although it was doing nothing but proving the guy’s point, Riddle could feel himself growing hot with rage. The nerve of this little rat, thinking he could just waltz up to a Prefect and tell him he didn’t deserve his partner.

His unique magic crackled at his fingertips before he even realized it. Anger bubbled up from his core as he stared at the smug face of the man who challenged him. Before he could say the incantation however, her voice resonated in his head. “You can’t solve everything with beheading, Riddle.”

Slowly, with deep, even breaths, he closed his fist and willed his magic down. He did, however, allow himself a small amount of satisfaction at the surprised look on the guy’s face as he drew himself up to his full height

“Perhaps she does, but it is her decision as to who is worthy of her affection. You have no right to make that choice for her.”

Leona: Leona knew before the little meerkat even opened his mouth that he wasn’t going to like this interaction. The guy oozed unfounded self-confidence.

“Can you really say she’s safe with you? You did go into Overblot.”

Leona wanted to bear his fangs and go for the throat. Every primal, animal instinct was urging him to respond to the challenge. Someone was after his mate. What self-respecting lion would take that lying down?

He roared so fiercely that he could see the exact moment the guy realized he had made a mistake. “You’ve got some nerve, don’t you? What makes you think you’re a better candidate?”

“Well, I never Overbl-”

“I’m not holding her against her will,” Leona interrupted, crossing his arms. “If she didn’t want to be my mate, she wouldn’t be my mate. Is that simple enough for you?”

Azul: This was nothing he hadn’t already thought himself.

“You’re manipulating her into being with you, aren’t you?” The guy was clearly intending to sound like he was defending her, but the almost gloating tone of voice he was using ruined the image. “What, did you make her sign one of your sleazy contracts?”

“I did no such thing,” Azul clenched his gloved fist. “I don’t know where you got the idea that I was doing anything like that to her.”

“You don’t exactly have a squeaky-clean record, Ashengrotto.” the guy shot back. “Wouldn’t surprise me if you were threatening her or something.”

“Of course not!”

“So you’re sending your enforcer buddies after her to - “

“You know,” Azul pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He had been on the edge of losing his cool, but the almost desperate crack to the guy’s voice told him he had more control over the situation than he initially realized. “Although I admire your...conviction, you are awfully adamant about something you haven’t presented any evidence for.”

Bingo. The guy stuttered, floundering around a bit before eventually turning around and storming off.

“Hey, Azul~” Floyd sing-songed from around the corner where he had hidden himself. “Do you want me to squeeze him?”

“No.” The offer was tempting, however. “He isn’t worth the effort.”

Kalim: He was confused.

Had the Ramshackle Prefect said something to this guy? Who even was this guy?

“I don’t understand.” Ever the honest one, Kalim came right out and said it. “Is there something wrong?”

The guy - seriously, who was he, what dorm was he even in - sighed. “It’s just something I’ve noticed. Do you really think she wants to be with someone she has to babysit?”

“She doesn’t have to babysit me.” This wasn’t clearing anything up. Actually, it was just kind of irritating.

For a moment, the guy just stared at him. Then he just shook his head and turned away. “You know what, whatever.”

It wasn’t until later when Jamil clued him in that Kalim realized he had been being threatened.

“Well, that doesn’t matter, does it?” he shrugged. “He was just jealous.”

Vil: Now this was just obnoxious.

Vil regarded the comment on his most recent Magicam post with a look of utter disdain. It was very rare that the Ramshackle Prefect allowed herself to be photographed, and even rarer that she gave her permission to post the picture. And then some lower lifeform had to come trample all over it.

I can’t believe someone as sweet as her would put up with someone as self-absorbed as Vil Schoenheit.

A quick glance at the guy’s profile told Vil all he needed to know. He was a student at NRC, a little no-name member of Ignihyde who decided he deserved the attention of the Ramshackle Prefect.

Vil was just about to delete the comment when the page refreshed, revealing a reply from none other than the Ramshackle Prefect herself.

Who are you again?

Idia: The Ramshackle Prefect glanced up from her homework at the sound of her phone vibrating against her desk. It was a message from Idia.

“Do you really want to be dating me?”

Well that was random. Frowning, she began typing.

“Of course. Why would you think I wouldn’t?”

“Because I never come out of my room, I can’t do PDA and freak out if someone so much as breathes in my general direction.”

“Is that guy starting shit again?”

“Potentially.”

“You know all of the stuff he says is just because he’s jealous. Don’t listen to him. <3”

[britishassistant]

I wonder what the supervillains (the dorm leaders) would do if they get switched with their other self in Twisted Wonderland.

They'll meet a younger Yuu calls them senpai and probably get shivers when they hear someone shout Prefect but then realize its Yuu's role in that world.

Bonus would be if Yuuken's there too, sharing the dorm with Yuu.

Thank you for the ask, dear anon!

I decided to take a little inspo from my Villainous Paranoiac series for this one! Not a whole lot, but the idea of Twisted Wonderland Yuu being put in the infirmary after the events of Chapter Five!

(Also consider it non-canon, since it kinda involves everyone’s identities being exposed!)

Basically imagine that the supervillains find themselves in what looks like a private school infirmary, late at night. The air is buzzing with a strange energy, almost like the powers back in their home world, but...different, somehow.

The room nearly empty, save for one occupant in a cot close to the door.

Poison Queen and King immediately begin bickering over whose fault this mess is, while Royal Flush tries to get them to keep their voices down or else they’ll be detected. Charon is half a minute from going to curl up in a corner, clutching his freeze ray like a lifeline, while Octo Dealer and Snake Charmer are busy inspecting their surroundings for anything of value or that can be requisitioned into a weapon on short notice.

Tsunotaro has wandered over to inspect the sole other living being in the room with them.

He is pleasantly surprised to see what looks like a younger version of the reporter he’s so fond of, fast asleep in the infirmary cot. Their cheeks still retain the last bit of baby fat from childhood, and there’s some acne left that will fade with age. He may give one cheek a gentle poke, just to satisfy his curiosity. The sleepy mumble they let out is a little more high pitched than normal, but that’s the reporter’s voice alright.

He is less pleased to see dark circles under their eyes, or the bandages around their throat that stink of medicinal salves. If this truly is a younger version of his child of man, then why do they look so worried, even in sleep? Why are they injured and sleeping in this place of healing in the first place? They’re a mere child, barely old enough to operate a vehicle or live alone. Their only worries should be trivial things, not whatever is causing this furrow in their brow and hunch in their shoulders.

The other supervillains have begun to migrate over to where Tsunotaro is crouching in silent contemplation. King flips his eyepatch up to get a better look, whistling lowly. Octo Dealer busies himself with refilling their water glass, sneaking glances at them as he places it within easy reach. Snake Charmer pulls their pillow more under their head from where it’s almost slipped off. Poison Queen straightens the arrangement of the very tasteful bouquet on the bedside table, so the flowers’ best angle is shown to the bed’s occupant. Royal Flush carefully tucks their covers in over them.

Charon takes a picture with his tablet.

He forgot to turn off his flash.

Yuu cracks their eyes open...

To see seven adults looming over their bed in masks that resemble the ink from the overblots that haunt the Prefect’s nightmares.

Cue terrified screaming.

Snake Charmer lunges forward instinctively to cover Yuu’s mouth—

It’s only thanks to Poison Queen yanking him back that he doesn’t end up with an arrow in the shoulder.

Several more follow the first one through the window above the prefect’s cot, cold iron sharp and perfectly aimed to seriously maim if the supervillains don’t immediately get away from the screaming teenager. Rook was lax in protecting the Trickster after VDC ended, assuming there was no more danger after Roi du Poison’s overblot was saved. He will not make that mistake again.

The infirmary doors burst open, a younger Yuuken in a sleep-rumpled uniform barging in from where he decided to sleep outside because Ramshackle felt too empty and quiet to bear, but was forbidden from staying in the infirmary himself. He only has a pillow, but he brandishes it at the strange adults, fully willing to defend his dorm mate in whatever way he can.

The vanguard appears in a flurry of bats though, too many to fight off, small and vicious and furious. Their commander materializes in the center if the swarm, hovering over the head of Yuu’s cot, pink eyes brimming with a cold rage that makes his small and cute form look like it’s bursting at the seams holding something much older and angrier back. He opens his mouth, fangs long and glistening—

Only to stop short at the sight of one of the supervillains. “Malleus? Malleus Draconia?”

Tsunotaro nods warily.

“Wh-What in Twisted Wonderland are you wearing??”

Tsunotaro ducks his head like a chastened child. “I could say the same thing.” He mutters sullenly.

From there the lights get turned on, and the seven supervillains are made to explain themselves to the sleep-deprived students and staff who trickle in to see what’s going on. All six dorm leaders and one vice dorm leader vanished from their beds, setting everyone on high alert until news of these...alternate versions spread.

It is very weird for the supervillains to see all their minions as teenagers (again in some cases). It is only surpassed by how weird it is for everyone else to see their dorm heads and vice head all grown up and adult, even if they are dressed weird.

Ortho still wants to shoot them with a beam until they bring back his nii-san. Luckily Charon is able to convince him that Idia should be fine if he’s in Charon’s lair—he’s got plenty of the latest games, manga and tech for him to play with, so that should keep him occupied for a while.

Sebek is in a state of Malleus awe. He has shut down and will not restart. Silver has taken to pinching himself just to make sure this isn’t a Lilia’s cooking induced fever dream, while Lilia himself scolds Tsunotaro that he raised him better than to go around watching people sleep like that! Tsunotaro tries to use the “but I’m a supervillain” excuse, only for Lilia to shoot back “and I’m a war criminal in some nations, what’s your point?”

King is enjoying watching the overgrown lizard get scolded. Now if only the tiny Ruggie would stop asking him what injury the eyepatch is for, and making remarks about how embarrassing it would be if it were totally pointless—King does not pay his adult self so much to put up with this shit. The baby Jack also needs to stop demanding to know if his adult minion self can pull a sled faster than a moose or something...

Jade and Floyd are attempting to wind up the adult Octo Dealer, trying to see how much they can get away with compared with the normal Azul. Octo Dealer is legitimately at a loss as to how this world’s Azul doesn’t keep them in line without letting them turn to a crime or two. Then he learns about Azul’s contract business and feels a pang of commiseration and understanding.

Poison Queen, Royal Flush, and Snake Charmer are unpleasantly shocked when their dorms address them by their respective secret identities in front of their fellow supervillains out of the blue.

Poison Queen has to put up with King’s uncontrolled laughter as he finally understands the full extent of the incident with White Neige so long ago, while Tsunotaro tries to tell him he liked Schoenheit in his role as the evil dragon prince in the GaoGao dramatization. Royal Flush is about two seconds away from throttling Octo Dealer if the bastard doesn’t stop trying to make a deal to guarantee his mother doesn’t learn about her son’s private activities. Snake Charmer’s just glad his civilian identity flies under the radar enough that Charon has to try and look him up to understand who he is (and fails because he’s not on school wifi and his cellular data is bust).

Poison Queen is also getting a headache from Rook rhapsodizing about how his villain form is another, enhanced mode of beauty he is fortunate to lay eyes upon, as if he hadn’t been willing to skewer Poison Queen along with the rest of the supervillains five minutes ago. He’s at least able to amuse himself by letting Epel run away with his speculations about how he’s the buff hyper-masculine muscle for Poison Queen.

Kalim is crying that Jamil had to resort to becoming a villain in his home world! He must be so sad if he has to do that! He’s mildly cheered up when Snake Charmer tells him they work together on schemes, and that Snake Charmer is actually reasonably happy with his chosen vocation—and then he begins panicking that Jamil will like that world so much, he won’t want to come back.

Royal Flush is glad his counterpart at least has good people around to look after him, even if it is odd to have young versions of Trey and Cater trying to mother hen him despite the fact that he’s the older one now. At least Ace and Deuce acting up seems more fitting now considering their age than it ever did on their adult selves.

Ace huffs a sigh and leans on Yuu’s shoulder. “This is a mess, huh Prefect?”

“You said it.” Yuu replies. “I just wanna sleep forever.”

The supervillains go still.

“I’m sorry,” Snake Charmer says carefully. “But isn’t Enma-san the Prefect?”

“No?” Yuuken replies, confused. “Yuu’s the prefect of Ramshackle Dorm. I’m their vice— or would be, if we had any other students apart from them, me, and Grim.”

Octo Dealer laughs, sounding slightly strained. “Ah, apologies, but you see, that isn’t possible. It can’t be. Yuu isn’t—”

“But I am the prefect, Azul-senpai.” Yuu the Prefect says. “I’ve–I’ve always been the prefect.”

There’s a stunned silence.

Royal Flush places his head in his hands. “What the fuck.”

Back in the Supervillain AU universe, Yuu the Reporter sneezes sharply while trying to wrangle five frightened teenagers, one frightened-but-playing-tough twenty year old, and one confused however-old-he-is-but-younger-than-Tsunotaro fae.

They wonder what the chill down their spine is.

Dorm leaders kissing you 

Riddle is hesitant to kiss you because he’s afraid he’ll do something wrong. So, at first, he limits himself to a kiss on the back of your hand – just like a true gentleman. It’s you who gives him all the kisses, basically, -- either on the cheek or forehead, which leaves him red-faced afterward and certain someone snickering at him. When he finally musters the will, the dorm leader kisses you on the lips. He holds both of your hands in his ones, closes his eyes, and leans toward your lips, giving you a brief kiss. Pulling away with the crimson cheeks, he has a shy smile and a tender gaze. Riddle is so happy to be able finally to kiss you properly!

It seems that he’s not big on kisses but actually, Leona’s eager to receive kisses from you even if he looks not so pleased because he can’t simply admit that he loves your affection. You give him a kiss on the cheek or the chin, he just hums, closing his eyes with a tiny smirk, and brushing you with his tail. Usually, you receive small bites from the lion, but when his mood strikes and he’s not asleep Leona makes you sit on his lap and kisses you deeply, his fangs are slightly nibbling your lips. The beastman pulls away with a satisfied smirk, clearly enjoying your flushing face.

Another gentleman who kisses your knuckles and the back of your hand. Azul is very smug about this because doing so always makes you smile. But he’s also flustered receiving kisses from you – you always give him a smooch on the cheek or a quick peck on the lips when you visit him at work --  so he prefers to kiss away from any audience. Whenever Azul himself kisses you, he does it lovingly and gently – though at first, it was really awkward, but he did some research, so he’s improving his skills! The silver-haired boy prefers to put his arms on your waist, pulling you closer to him and kisses your lips. Despite the blush, Azul pulls away with a smirk – he feels a sense of pride being able to take your breath away!

If he’s not hugging you, he’s kissing you. Kisses are the best way to show his love toward you! Kalim’s kisses are lively and joyful – though it’s usually small pecks on cheeks, forehead or nose – they always cure your moods and leave you smiling. He’s not one into deep and long kisses – they are usually short and sweet. You two sit beside each other, he suddenly puts his arms on your shoulders, leaning down, and kisses you on the lips. Kalim breaks into chuckling, pulling away. He holds you closer, nuzzling into you, then spreads kisses all over your face, enjoying your adorable reaction.

Vil’s strict with kisses, since he doesn’t want to ruin his make-up. So, you usually give him kisses on the back of his hand or wrist, which he gladly accepts. From time to time the Pomefiore dorm leader lets himself lean down and peck the corner of your mouth, leaving a slightly visible mark of his lipstick, or on some corner to wipe away the lipstick and kiss you properly. In the evening, when he can relax, Vil literally sweeps you off your feet. One of the man’s arms holds your waist – his other hand takes your own -- as he makes you lean back while he’s kissing you. Pulling away Vil savors your dazed expression.

Idia’s thankful that you’re patient with him. You always make sure that he’s comfortable with receiving affection from you --- you ask his permission to give him a kiss or a hug, or watch his body language. Usually, the blue-haired boy allows you to give a quick smooch on the cheek, which makes him blush every time. Idia really wants to reciprocate your love. Inspired by some romance tv-shows and support from his little brother, he is determined to do it. Sitting beside you in his room, Idia takes a deep breath and leans down toward you, giving your lips a small peck. Quickly pulling away with a red face, it’s the first time he sees you so astonished and pleased.

Malleus is crying with happiness finally receiving tenderness from someone. So, he eagerly takes all of your kisses. He has to bend down for you to kiss him and you can kiss him on whatever you want – forehead, nose, cheeks, chin -- though he’s blushing, the fae silently begging you for more. The best way to thank you is to kiss you back. Malleus often kisses your wrist or the back of your hand, showing his respect toward you. But his favourite ones are on the lips. He holds your waist, leaning down, and deeply kisses you, lightly sighing into the kiss, and subtly biting your lip. Pulling away, the horned male chuckles at your amazed and flushed expression.

👻NRC Halloween Haunted House Dorm Designs👻

If instead of the stamp rally, we got an inter-dorm haunted house competition. The winning dorm is up to your interpretation. (Based off the Halloween designs for each dorm with slight changes/elaboration) 

❣️Heartslabyul❣️

Location: Greenhouse; Theme: Skeleton

Trenches have been dug and concealed strategically where students are hiding and ready to crawl out when visitors approach

Ace and Deuce go full on Grudge-mode as they chase after visitors on all fours, not caring about dirtying their costumes

Cater is sprawled out fabulously atop a raised gravestone for people to snap pictures (basically his SSR card irl); He even takes some selfies when no one’s looking

But beware as Riddle and Trey who are disguised as stone angels guarding each side will ‘come alive’ to chase off visitors who linger around too long

🐾Savanaclaw🐾

Location: Coliseum; Theme: Pirate

Dorm members are dressed as pirates but drowned (think Black Pearl’s crew from Pirates of Caribbean) to pop out from cracks among the shipwreck

Ruggie uses his UM to make visitors purposely approach where his dorm members are waiting, also using magic to rock the ship slightly or make items float

Guarding the treasure trove is Captain Leona, sitting upon his throne sexily smugly, using magic to splash water and sand at visitors, growling menacingly at those who dare venture too close

Jack’s making sure no one goes overboard, though he himself is having a blast scaring others

🌊Octavinelle🌊

Location: Alchemy Lab; Theme: Mummy/Scientist

Jade is submerged in the water culture tank, pretending to be unconscious, only to suddenly open his eyes and jumpscare visitors who lean in to get a closer look, all the while smiling deviously

Several operation tables are set up for those to lie down if they’re feeling brave, and the moment they do, Floyd comes barging in with other dorm members brandishing fake knives with a maniacal look on his face

Meanwhile Azul is using magic to control bandages hanging from the ceiling to wrap around terrified visitors as they are running away from Floyd’s gang

⛅Scarabia⛅

Location: Mystery Shop; Theme: Werewolf

Low growls and howling along with the scurrying of feet surround the visitors from all directions once they step inside the mystery shop, having been attracted by the sweet smell of apple crepes on display (giving off  Little Red Riding Hood vibes)

A pair of glowing red eyes approach them as they’re backed into a corner, turns out it’s Kalim, doing the scariest pose he can muster (though it turns out more handsome than scary haha oof)

Visitors are lulled into a false of security by Kalim’s cuteness, only to be caught off guard by Jamil interrupting suddenly, going feral and ‘DOKAN NICE SHOT’-ing everyone

Just kidding, he doesn’t actually yeet anyone away, but magic carpets come swooping in to whisk visitors back to the exit

✨Pomefiore✨

Location: Mirror Chamber; Theme: Vampire

Mirror chamber is transformed into a mirror maze where dorm members pop in and out of the reflections dramatically to scare visitors

Epel is having a field day making the scariest poses at unsuspecting people who were enchanted by his innocent looks (he had initially wanted to emerge from the green fountain covered in goo but was shot down by Vil immediately LOL)

Vil is the final treat, showing up as the lights dim to illuminate his pale skin while posing elegantly and baring his fangs, much to the shock and delight of the visitors

Rook stands by outside for crowd control, knowing Vil’s fans would want to take pictures with him after the haunted house

🔥 Ignihyde 🔥

Location: Library; Theme: Headless Horseman

A thin layer of fog settles on the ground with an eerie breeze blowing at intervals, coupled with the superb projection mapping and 3D-holographs controlled by the dorm students, sets up the perfect chilling mood

Ortho has completely camouflaged himself, only revealing his blue flame, as he “guides” visitors through the forest of Sleepy Hollow

He’s actually leading them to where Idia is, as the latter gallops in on a robotic ghost horse and removes his pumpkin helmet for the dramatic headless reveal

🐉Diasomnia🐉

Location: Ramshackle Dorm; Theme: Dragon

The impressive dragon centerpiece looms ahead in full glory, highlighted by the dim green glow of the floating lanterns adorning the sidewalk, enchanted by Silver and other dorm members

Occasionally, lightning flashes across the sky, courtesy of Malleus, as he perches atop the dragon head with MC beside him

Lilia hangs upside down on nearby tree branches, ready to surprise passing visitors with a “Boo~”, his bats swooping down in flocks

Sebek doesn’t hesitate to go all out shouting “FOOLISH NINGENS, FEAR MY MASTER!!!”, even Grim and the Ramshackle ghosts take part, blowing will-o-wisps around to chase visitors
