#Baur Zigvolt

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Hello, again with ideas for your new event. Hope nobody made you uncomfortable. I want interaction between Ramshackle ghosts and Baul (for somebody who don't know:it's Sebeks' grandpa) or Zigvolt siblings

Or interaction Mrs. Zigvolt with Mrs.Spade about "oh what good young mans are growing, just little rowdy, don't you think so? "

Dylla (Mrs. Spade) has been getting a lot of interactions, so I decided to give Baur and the Ramshackle Ghosts some time in the limelight :>

Family means Nobody is Left Behind or Forgotten.

"Behold, grandfather—the majesty that is Diasomnia’s lounge…!” Sebek presented the room with all the flair and bravado of a ringmaster in the final show-stopping act of the circus.

The stoney walls lined with tapestries were tall, creating a massive chamber where sounds echoed into the night. Wooden tables with candelabras littered the room, circled by leather furniture. To one side, a lonely fireplace. A set of matching staircases led to an upper floor where a grand throne with dragon wings awaited, lit an ominous violet.

“You may seat here… or there.. or here… if you so wish!!” Sebek cried, pointing. “On cold days, we light the fireplace to ensure that Diasomnia is well-heated! And right up there is where the young master sits while we gaze up and salute his noble visage!!”

Baur let out a growly hmph—something Sebek had come to learn as a sign of begrudging acceptance. “It still pales in comparison to Castle Blackscale and Castle Wildrose’s throne rooms, but it I suppose it is adequate,” he sniffed.

“I am pleased to hear that we have your seal of approval, sir!!” The first year’s smile was toothy, showing all of his pearly whites.

Baur’s chest warmed. He fought to keep his mouth straight—but the corner of it betrayed him, lifting.

But it didn’t last.

Over Sebek’s shoulder, the air seemed to shift, as if an image rippling in a pond. A pale face slowly materialized. Bulging eyes, bulbous nose, shockingly blue mouth cavity and dangling tongue.

Adrenaline shot through his veins, synapses firing on all cylinders.

“GET DOWN!!” Baur commanded at the top of his lungs.

“What—!!”

Sebek had only cocked his head halfway back when grandfather tackled him. With his full weight crashing into Sebek’s at full speed, the two hurtled onto the floor, tumbling behind a leather sofa. Placing a hand on his grandson’s head, Baur forced his head close to the ground. His eyes darted around the room, quickly surveying their surroundings.

Where did it go…?!

“G-Grandfather, what is going on?!” Sebek demanded. Pinned down flat on his stomach, he appeared less like a knight and more like a startled puppy. “Please, if you’ve sensed enemies nearby, allow me to prove my mettle by lending my assistance!”

“I saw it behind you!! It can appear and disappear, slipping into the shadows,” Baur snapped—not at Sebek, but out of habit. “You mustn’t let your guard down, or it could be the last of…”

“Um, ‘scuse me…” a voice offered. It came from beneath Baur’s boots.

A white head in a top hat poked out from between the warrior’s feet. When his eyes met it, the ghost gave a sheepish grin. “Is now a bad time to do jumpscares?”

“You charged at that other guy like a magift player in the tie-breaking round,” cackled a voice from within the walls. A long, withered face protruded from a portrait of Malleus. “I thought you were going to snap his neck!”

“Even ghosts start feelin’ a little bad sometimes,” sighed a third. Round, full-bodied, and fazing through an armchair.

Sebek blinked. “Oh, it’s just the Ramshackle Ghosts.”

“The what?!” Flabbergasted, Baur careened, releasing Sebek from his grip.

The first year stood, brushing off his uniform. “The Ramshackle Ghosts?” he repeated. “They are the spirits that haunt a defunct dormitory. The ghosts roam the campus on occasion, seeking scares to keep their boredom at bay. They are a normal fixture of Night Raven College.”

“I-I see…” Baur fumbled, but managed to clear his throat. An attempt to save face, to look confident. “W-Well! I certainly hope you are thankful that I took the necessary precautions to ensure your safety! Doubtless you would have been able to handle this threat by your lonesome!!”

“Hm?” Ghost A made a face. “… I dunno about you boys, but it looked to me like you were scared of us laying a hand on the kid.”

“Same here,” B said.

“Ditto.”

"N-Nonsense!! What utter nonsense you spout…!” Baur insisted, his volume rapidly climbing, cheeks flaming. “Y-You have NO IDEA what my true intentions may be, but it is most certainly NOT to protect this… this grandson of mine!!”

“Grandfather…”

The ghosts interrupted, each of them cackling loudly.

“Awww, he’s shy!”

“He looks scary, but he’s actually a super good guy deep down. Looks can be deceiving.”

“It’s okay,” Ghost B reassured Baur. “We’ve been around for a while. We know you care without you having to say it.”

“AS I SAID…!”

“… GRANDFATHER!!!” Sebek’s voice crashed like thunder upon the earth. He straightened, his mouth stretched wife as he saluted Baur. “SIR!! I’m most thankful to be under your watchful eye!!”

“Huh?!” The Ramshackle Ghosts glanced at one another.

“I was not sharp enough to sense an enemy sneaking up on me from behind. Hnnngh…! It is frustrating, but I completely confess it was the result of my own inadequacy! Please, grandfather…! I implore you, teach this Sebek your ways!!”

He bowed deeply, his back frighteningly parallel with the ground.

Baur and the ghosts gawked at him.

“Hey, uh… kid? You alright th—”

C’s question was cut off by a rumbling chuckle. Baur folded his arms and straightened himself. He was the drill sergeant, and Sebek, his soldier awaiting molding.

“SO BE IT THEN!!” Baur declared, puffing his chest outward. “I will teach you my ways, since you show such potential.”

Sebek’s eyes sparkled. His cheeks were the delicate pink of rosebuds. “Yes…! I promise I won’t disappoint you, sir!”

“… Is it just me, or is this family a little weird?” A asked the other two ghosts.

“Nope, it’s not just you.”

“This is definitely a weird family.”

Guys have the audio on for this 😭🙏

That’s literally how the fae language switch went 💀💀💀 I thought my tablets audio broke until it was specified LMAOO

[neoninky]

Ziggyyyy⚡️🐊⚡️

Bless this silly croco boi’s beautiful soul 😂 He’s so precious

[hanafubukki]

The way Baul loves his grandchildren so much 😭😭 literally going out of his way to get the latest books and keeping food in stock.

I believe it was Lian or Kallisto who mentioned it but while their diasomnia uniforms do look military like and has the pride of the fae soldiers. It doesn’t have the durability of them. And there’s really no need is there? In a time of peace 😭🥺 I like these little details we see 💞💞

So happy for Sebek, he got blessed and got knighted by his grandfather. I hope he tells him when he awakens. 💞🫶

Little Silver meeting with General Lilia, Grandpa Zigvolt, and Princess Maleanor~

I an decreeing that this is a temporary time slip incident, rather than the dream in Book 7. Little Silver takes a tumble back in time and lands inside Maleanor's castle.

He eventually stumbles his way back to the present day, where he writes the whole thing off as a fun dream. Later, when Book 7 happens, he recognizes Baur and Maleanor from the incident but doesn't realize that he actually met them. He assumes he plucked their faces from some picture Lilia had in his room.

for my own mental well being I did not draw Baur’s skirt armor because how the hell does that thing sit down. They’re comfortable <3 Their leg armor has been taken off and is resting elsewhere <3

Also yes I intended for this to be old woman yuri but both their designs are so androgynous to me so I think this piece can go either way.

Anyways this is my masterpiece. In retiring from art.

Drawing twst characters as if they were my ocs 1.Baul🐊

[twistedsocials]

Gave old peepaw Zigvolt an account because fuck it (the two followers are Sebek and Lilia)

Bear with me guys I’m not on b7 yet so I might be inaccurate with depictions of Baul

[octahyde]

Ok also ALSO I’m tired of people saying Baur was a bad “name change” because it’s literally the exact same name as Baul. They just went with a different reading of it that is literally just as valid lol.

And it’s literally meant TO be read as Baur as a reference to Sebecus, an ancestor of crocodiles, and Baurusuchus both being classified under the Sebecosuchia family. Like people are getting mad at the official translators for going with the CORRECT spelling of his name.

It’s literally like complaining that his name was officially translated as Rook and not Luke😭

Crack theory time

Imagine if Maleanor was the mother of Baul's daughter aka Sebek's grandmother

tiny spoilers for book 7 below

Since her pregnancy doesn’t work the same way as a human’s, it wasn’t difficult.

She just laid an egg - let’s say crocodilian faes also hatch from eggs - and gave this egg to Baul to keep warm. Or Baul gave it to Lilia, who had already moved to the forest at this point after being banished from the capital and Lilia looked after the egg because Baul was too busy with Royal Guard job.

That’s why Sebek never mentioned his grandmother - because Mrs. Zigvolt never knew her mother. Baul just said she was killed in war. Which is true, but he didn’t specify how.

It also makes more sense why Baul hates humans so much. It’s too personal in this case.

So basically, this makes Sebek and Malleus relatives :)
