(I just read Anastasia’s bio, and I’ve just got to say that she’s so cool!! To make her a mermaid with teeth that regrow like a great white shark is such a quirky character design. 💖💖💖

I’ve seen a lot of your art reblogged on @sugarandmelody ‘s blog, and I’ve just got to say I love your style! The one where she’s in her merform with idea is *chef’s kiss*)

Since Anastasia’s in Octavinelle, do you mind if I ask what she’d think of my honorary-Octavinelle OC Ceridwen?

Thanks, I'm so happy that you like her! thankful that @thecurrator thought of it as a crack headcanon, and I thought, 'wait a minute... a bunch of sharks can do that...' and went ahead and made it a thing 😂 (*punches ana and knocks her teeth out* Ana two weeks later: you thought you could ruin my image permanently? *flashes a smile* I'M GONNA BITE YOU-)

Awww thanks that you think my art style is nice 👉👈 fsahfshsahsjhhj 💖 not sure which one you mean- if you mean the fully colored one that was made by the lovely @/sras-is-doing-something as fanart <3

hmm, let's see what she'd think of Ceridwen 😳

Anastasia would be quite curious about this new person. She could see her from a distance; she can't help but notice some of the things she does,

'what is she doing with those mirrors?'

Ana will pretty much be too shy to approach her or ask her where she's from. So she can't really cure that curiosity, she might end up accidentally stalking her if she somehow happens to be nearby, whoops!

she's curious, that's all, I swear! >.< "

~~

During her housewarden's overblot, she was horrified but fascinated...

Then

she saw that new person again, holding the mirrors.

'She's... She's using them to deflect the attacks?!'

now Ana's really interested

for a second there she forgot that Azul was overblotting, instead she focuses on the ingenious use of the mirrors, wondering why she's never thought of something like that before.

TBH it's easy to catch Ana's attention if she finds you smart.

Even if you aren't or are very different, yet you end up being friends with her, there'll still be a new perspective she'll want to learn about.

She might still have trouble trying to approach her, but at least now she has a newfound respect for her. Kinda glad that the new person wants to be an honorary Octavinelle member, she doesn't know why.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!! I never in a million years would have dreamed someone would make fan art of my characters!

This has made my day!! Absolutely made it! You are an Angel!! Thank you so so much ☺️☺️😂💝💝💖☺️

Vane: I-I-Is that m-me? *blushes so hard his skin almost starts steaming* G-Give it here. Let’s n-not let a-anyone else see this. *totters off to his room and stares at the picture for an hour straight, his blush not going a shade lighter*

Ceridwen: *squeals and clasps your hand* This is simply too sweet! For you to make me of all people your muse is such a compliment. God bless your soul, my Angel. Grim is going to be so jealous!

Some art inspired by the twst ice cream drawings by @/bluegreen47 - go check out their blog their drawings are cute af!

Hyello! Sorry if this is super outta nowhere-I'm absolutely in love with your writing! Your TWST OCs are super creative and actually got me wondering your thoughts on their perceptions of my two: Albert and Yuu.

I would say, off the bat, Al would be VERY conflicted with Basil-my boi loves the 'Deep Pressure Therapy', but abjectly hates having his will/consciousness wrenched outta his hands (long story).

And Yuu would 100% trade a few bowls/plates of homecooked food (and be an open ear for complaints about Crowley-they have a few grievances, themselves) to have a second to oggle at Ceri's gauntlets

Ooooh! An OC ask? Don't mind if I do XD.

Can I just start by saying how much I adore the dorm uniform designs for your ocs? Now I wanna draw Ceridwen in it! It's the perfect combination of shabby-chic that Ramshackle def needs to have.

Plus, thank you for the comments you left on some of my recent posts. Your words made my day :)

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Basil can’t possibly allow the prestigious dorm leader of Ramshackle to get burn-out, or worse succumb to the stress of his duties and have a mental breakdown...is what he would say. In reality, Albert’s stress is a goldmine for the snake. 

All Basil will think about when he sees Albert is getting his tail around him. But won’t that trigger his fear of losing control? Panic is no good to Basil. Stress is what he deals in. 

His solution would be to hypnotise Albert first. 

Once Albert is hypnotised he won’t realise that he not in control. As the stress seeps out of him he’ll only fall deeper under the spell, and probably wake up not remembering a thing.  

(Also, Basil’s nickname for Albert would be Hare. Why? Hares are swift creatures and Albert’s time-slowing UM would make it seem as though he was moving faster than everything else. And Albert’s vain side will also remind Basil of the tale of the Hare and the Hedgehog).

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

Ceridwen wouldn’t just show her gauntlets to Yuu, she’d offer to make them their own pair. No food or therapy required. The inspiration behind making the gauntlets was her hatred of being defenceless, and with Yuu being magicless too, she won’t sleep until they have a pair for themselves. 

However, food and therapy are more than welcome in general. 

Ceridwen does have a tendency to isolate herself at NRC because the imposter syndrome of being magicless at a mage school is stifling. (Help this girl, she’s homesick and nervous 24/7 despite appearing cheerful). Any food Yuu makes her will be appreciated, and if they want to rant about life to her, she’ll listen for hours if needed. (Expect UK vs US jokes, too)!

Yuu will probably become to Ceridwen like Luz is to Eda in the Owl House. Must protect. If Yuu is in any sort of trouble, she’s there - big sister mode: on. She’d even run in front of an overblot for them.

[the-trinket-witch]

Part one of some writing @squidwen inspired me to write:

> C’mon in, I just need to grab something off the stove

>Hey, Nice to see ya. I have seats in the kitchen

They waved a hand for their guest to follow. It was a rare sight for anyone on campus to see Yuu’s eyes under their dark ringlets. Yet their first guest, that wasn’t Ace or Deuce, had been greeted with a clear, kind face framed with a bandana. They already had a seat pulled out for Ceridwen, one of the few salvaged pieces from before renovation. Yuu continued the conversation they’d instigated earlier in the day, picking up from where the two left off. 

>So you remember how you got here? Lucky

>Weird, the closer I think about when the carriage took me, the less I remember

“That’s certainly odd-hopefully it won’t be necessary information for when Crowley sends you back,” she replied. 

Before her, Yuu placed a tray of something delicious-smelling between them to nibble. She missed the name of it, but whatever it was, it had to taste better than any of the chain-restaurants could simulate back home. Home…

>Ya mean if?

A tick of silence. Yuu was the first to break the tension with a snerk and a dismissive shake of their head, inviting Cerid to join in. 

“I swear, how did he become Headmaster?”

>Beats me; Birdbrain has me running ragged, half the time.

>Wouldn’t we both like to know? The amount of times I had to keep myself from chucking this at him…

They had drawn out a small sandal and juggling it before placing it back. It seemed to have received a bit of use based on the condition. With another piece of their shared snack they directed a look towards the gauntlets nestled on the table. 

“I’m sure you’re capable with that. I, on the other hand, find it a bit easier with these. They can be a bit…cumbersome at times, but one takes what they can get,” she relented. “But, don’t think me rude; it would make me feel a bit better knowing you had a pair for yourself, even as a backup.”

The two had known each other for at most, a couple of hours, but already their heart began to swell. It was always nice to see, let alone be reciprocated, that parental attitude they’ve been known for in two worlds now. The bandana had come off, once again hiding their features under a curtain of dark ringlets. Even so, the weary smile creeping up their face told all they needed to say.

>Name your price, amiga~

>Ya know? I’d like that. Can I pay you back, at least, for it?

“Hmmm,” Ceridwen’s feigned contemplation didn’t go unnoticed. “Maybe another tray and the recipe for these, and maybe another day like this where we can swap home stories?”

[squidwen]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!! IT ALWAYS BRIGHTENS MY DAY TO SEE HOW MY BABIES WOULD INTERACT WITH OTHER OCS. (Like I’m a mother watching my kids make friends at school). Melanie is such a cool OC, too! 

Right-o, it’s my turn *cracks knuckles.*

---

Ceridwen

You’ve got the right idea with Melanie needing to drag Ceridwen away from danger and work. She’s highly sleep-deprived, and even with her mirror gauntlets she’s never in any condition to fight (she pretends the dark circles under her eyes are actually just smudged mascara)... 

As a fellow Ramshackle, Ceridwen would look out for Melanie. Even if a dorm leader hasn’t been established, Ceridwen will generally assume the role if it means keeping the Ramshackles on the straight and narrow and protecting them in a school filled with powerful mages and dangerous spells. 

Finally, Ceridwen’s over-thinking doesn’t makes her paranoid. All the good and bad outcomes shoot through her brain at the same time. Having someone to offload to about her thoughts would be a relief, regardless of whether Melanie gives her more food for thought and makes her think even deeper. It’s also just nice having a girl to talk to, and one that’s so polite and caring.

 Vane

The poor man would have heard Melanie hit the floor and ran off the first chance he got. What was that noise? Was it a door opening? A box falling over? Had a bear gotten in? He didn’t know and didn’t care. He was gone. 

To later on be invited to tea by Melanie was something he declined immediately. Who was this girl? How did he know her? From being in Heartslabyul, Vane had mastered the art of not going to tea parties. First, go into the woods; make dozens of plants grow to be huge; hide in one of them; hope the people looking for him give up quickly. 

However, if Vane overheard Melanie defending him from bullies, he’d thank her in his head before continuing on with whatever he was doing. Seeing her later in the hallway might prompt him to nod in greeting, but nothing more. 

Basil

Basil has an interest in all the Ramshackle students who come from a different world. They must be so scared and stressed - brilliant for offering spa services and using his UM. Whether it be Melanie, Ceridwen, you name them, he’s had them in his coils and whispered reassurances that he’s there for them. 

However, he prefers Melanie to Ceridwen. Just as a snake prefers a Field Mouse to a Mongoose. Whether it be teasing her, asking her to run quick errands for him, and playing the flute to a song from her homeland, he’s just interested to see how far he’ll get with someone like her.

Louise and Grim - Honey Badger and Dwarf Hamster - are playful accessories Basil’s often holding back with his tail while he chats to Melanie. Can’t have pesky eavesdroppers spoiling their conversations. Not only that, but he’d want her to get comfortable looking into his eyes. Anyone with as much energy as her is a goldmine when it comes to his unique magic. 

William 

(THAT’S SUCH A FUNNY MENTAL IMAGE WITH THE ACORNS!)

If William disturbed Melanie while he was throwing axes, he might not be as polite about the whole ordeal as you may think. “Why’re ye doin’ yer homework under a tree? There be classrooms, bedrooms, and libraries fer all tha’. ‘sides, I come out here v’ry other day teh practice. Did ye ner see the target marked on that there tree trunk yonder?”

He wouldn’t be too rude about it, though. Melanie’s a lady and she certainly wasn’t a threat. He’d offer to take a break while she concentrated on her homework, but advised she do it somewhere quieter.

If the girl was to then learn about Billy’s heritage and future - pertaining to one day becoming the owner of the Harveston lakes - he would shove her off faster than anything. The subject of his fall from grace, regardless of the fact he still has notable status, pains him. Melanie would be intruding if she brought it up in conversation. 

Seth 

Melanie is a unique case. It’s hard to get inside Seth’s heart - ironic since he has three so it should be easier. However, he will be interested in Melanie’s fashion sense, and that she can make clothes herself. 

I can definitely see the pair of them becoming each other’s muses. Seth teaches Melanie all he knows, and vice versa. He’d rave about her to Maestro Pezoni and Moira over the holidays - telling them all about this girl from another world that stumbled into his life broadened his horizons.

Working on a woman with a different body type to Ceridwen would be useful, too. And since he values Melanie so much, he’ll drape her in his softest fabrics and ask her opinion on what he’s doing. I can already see Melanie, Ceridwen and Seth setting up a business. Melanie models, Seth creates, and Ceridwen sells. (Azul: *sees they’re making a lot of money...his footsteps get louder...*)

All in all, the three of them would make a very stylish family. 

I've stalked @squidwen's blog long enough to finally make some interactions with Mel and their oc's!!

Ceridwen: Good friends! Melanie would ask Cerid to not refer to her by royal terms as by her standards she's an average student here. She becomes Cerid's helper and by that I means she'll drag Cerid away from potential danger and long work hours to go shopping or learn how to make something. Of course both of them being over-thinkers is definitely going to lead to hijinks (especially if the other first years are involved) but that's normal for them. Them being assistants means they run into each other with tasks so Mel always suggest afterwards they rest with tea and a good book.

Vane: Now Melanie can....tolerate bugs but not insects that are the size of people so her first reaction to Vane would be....... fainting. Not the best first time and she knows that she might have made Vane more worried so she tries to make it up. By setting up a garden outside of the Ramshackle and growing both flowers and crops she would invite Vane to join her. A nice day with a few clouds rolling by, some lemonade and little buds that need tender loving care. If he ever gets picked on she'll rush in to stop them and if he wants company she'll be more than happy to oblige.

Basil: A curious relationship. Basil sees her and thinks of a tiny field mouse, always scurrying around with papers and things, entering classrooms to drop off things all the while getting to her own class with that dwarf hamster and honey badger. Of course this makes her a prime target for a massage but she's so easy to tease. It's too easy for him to sneak up behind her and let out a little hiss near her ear, she jumps and stares bewildered with those blue eyes. Even if she's holding back Louise from swinging at him with his teeny tiny sword. But she's also extremely kind, always making sure he's doing alright and he isn't pulling any sore muscles. She was a bundle of tight nerves just waiting to pop but all she cared about was her friends health. Strange........she could be fun.

William: Fellow first years and while Melanie might not know much about him, she does know that he's known for axe-throwing. She would know. The first time they met she was behind the tree he was chucking mini axes at and the hits were causing acorns to fall all over her. Being a little irritated by getting hit with acorns while she does homework she turns around only to see a giant holding an axe in his hand. She....might have panicked if Will didn't stop her and apologize for not realizing someone was here. After that she would be curious since they're in different classes and the fact that he's next in line for leadership. She'd try to befriend him and just understand this grizzly bear of a student.

Seth: Not entirely sure if these two would be odd pseudo friends that no one understands what they see in the other or Seth avoids Melanie like the plague when all she did was nothing. He might think she's annoying, a little fly that won't stop buzzing plus given the fact that she's a supposed queen a spoiled pest no doubt. But all Melanie's ever done was shyly ask if he needs more fabric and brought tea. While they both sew and make clothing Seth's far better at the craft then Mel so she would try to at least learn something from him, only for him to make her leave. She does try to be his assistant so he can do this like eat and take breaks, if he needs a model she's up for the job no payment needed.

[the-trinket-witch]

I'd been asked, if I had time, to doodle @squidwen 's OC, Ceridwen in a Pentergeist uniform and...tada~

I realize I need go get better at hands, esp. Gauntlets, but also SHOES.

[squidwen]

Hello hello~ Don't mind me asking some silly little questions about your characters!

Let's see~

1) How do your OCs fare in flying class? Is someone afraid of flying/heights? Is someone enthusiastic about it? Do any of them have a particular style or pose (like how Cater and Leona stand on the broom, Idia and Floyd hang off it, Jade hugs it, etc.)? Does anyone use something other than a broom to fly?

2) If you had to pick only one, which canon character do you see being your OC's closest friend?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I like this! A lot of my characters would have difficulty straddling a broom due to their lower bodies not being humanoid....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vane and Basil would struggle the most with it. Vane would prefer to wait until he turns into a butterfly for flying (which he never intends to happen, but it's as good an excuse as any) to avoid getting on a broomstick. Cater and Trey usually have to find him and drag him to flying class. But, since they're busy third-years, they often don't have time. Vane chills out in the woods and watches from afar. "I wouldn't get on one of those things if you p-paid me."

Basil can't ride a broom. Even if the stick was thicker to accommodate his weight, the length of his tail is too awkward for him to ride it properly. If it slipped off, he would plummet straight down. However, Kalim lets him borrow his magic carpet. Basil's 'pose' when flying is to drape his tail near all the edges of the carpet so the weight is balanced.

Billy and Seth are the most adept when it comes to flying a broomstick. Around Billy's manor house, brooms used to be enchanted by the maids. Billy would hop on one and delight in his brothers' shocked faces as the broom tried to buck him off like a rowdy horse. Riding a broom reminds Billy of those times and it makes him a fast and ruthless flyer. He grips the broom tightly, makes sharp turns, and dips like he's reliving those same days.

Seth is more relaxed with his flying technique. He hooks his feet around the back and grips the stick with his elbows. This enables him to use his hands for reading, writing homework, or stitching. Azul is rather jealous about how an octomer like him can be so good in the air. (No doubt he's thought up numerous ways to rope Seth into a contract). Seth has actually tied red ribbons to the back of his broom so he can fly in style~

Jonah doesn't take flying seriously. He's modified his broom with an autopilot feature so he hasn't got to think about it. This doesn't make him very nimble in the air, but he's not interested in a career in flying so he just curls his tail around the broom and falls asleep with the stick between his shoulder blades. If he gets knocked off/falls off, the broom has a homing device and will chase him and catch him before he hits the ground.

Ceridwen? On a broom? She'd rather use a broomstick to sweep every room of NRC than get on one. Where are the seatbelts? How do you steer them? How do you control their altitude? Where are the BRAKES? In fact, one of Ceridwen's first days at NRC went something like this:

Ceridwen: *sweeping the halls for Crowley with a broom she found in a cupboard.*

Lilia: *drops down from the ceiling* "You're using it wrong, dear~"

Ceridwen: "Ah! Well how else are you supposed to use a broom?”

Lilia: *takes it off her, sits on it, and flies upwards.*

Ceridwen: 

And finally, Tallis IS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SHOW OFF! After Vargas taught him that you fly on a broom by sitting on it, and not by using your wings while just holding a broom, Tallis couldn’t stop thinking about the performances he could put on with a broomstick. For weeks he was glued to Magicam watching videos on how to do barrel rolls, loops, corkscrews. Have his new skills made him a lot of jealous enemies? Of course. Has it made him a lot of adoring fans? Tallis’d like to think so. He’s left it to Cater to post clips of him doing tricks. As any self-respecting artist knows, you shouldn’t let the reviews bog you down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In answer to your second question, when it comes to canon closest friends with my OCs, I reckon it would look something like this: 

Vane --> Trey  

Billy --> Sebek

Ceridwen --> Azul

Basil --> Kalim

Seth --> Floyd 

Jonah --> Deuce

Tallis --> Rook

I hadn’t thought about this before. Some of my answers actually surprised me.

Thanks for the questions @zackcrazyvalentine 

They were really thought provoking!

[squidwen]

13. You’re given an unlimited budget to build anything you want!  What do you build and where do you build it?

How about this for all of your ocs? :3

OOOOH! Interesting one! A more platonic ask than others I've received XD

Link to ask list here

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

13. You're given an unlimited budget to build anything you want. What do you build and where do you build it?

Vane wasn't sure. He'd spent almost two decades growing plants big enough to live in, but actual buildings and facilities weren't something that had ever crossed his mind. "Well, with an unlimited budget to bui-build whatever wherever, I guess it would be greenhouse skyscrapers in industrial cities. The vegetation would ta-take all the CO2 out of the air, and make the skyline clearer and cleaner so p-people with lung conditions suffer less. H-hope that’s alright.”

Billy's face split into a wide grin. "I am but a humble bear, but if I had to choose it would be a manor house in a roche-moutonnee next to a tarn and a mountain forest filled with fir trees. I would rebuild the home I was promised miles away from any lynching little half-brothers and stepmothers. And with the change...I'd fill every room with the finest tapestries."

"Simple," said Ceridwen, not looking up from her notebooks. "I want to build a functioning portal to take me back home safe and sound. Whether or not I would like it to be a two-way portal is another matter. If so, I would want it built in Ramshackle so I could come and go as I please. If not, then I don't care where it's built. It...depends on whether or not I’ll miss the people here more than I’m terrified of magic.”

"CHAIR LIFTS!" Basil bolted upright off his tail. "I would have a chair lift built on every staircase in the world, my dear. Do you have any clue how agonising it is being a naga? Living in a world built around bipedal folksss? Oh? You thought I would have the chair lifts built for the elderly? Well, they would certainly benefit. I wouldn't discriminate and not let them use them. But stairs and tails don't go hand in hand."

Seth sneered. “What a ridiculous question! You really ought to announce yourself when someone is working. I almost poked myself with my needle.” Sighing, he set down his darning and thought seriously on the matter. “If I could build anything anywhere it would be a submarine that turned into a water-tight caravan. The world may be 70% ocean, but the remaining 30% is so diverse and full of inspiration for clothing lines I hope to create one day.”

“Ain’t much I want that I ain’t already crafted,” said Jonah, wiping the oil from his overalls. “But, it I had an unlimited budget and space, I guess it would be a town in one big building. Back home, you gotta drive everywhere. If you want bread, a new shirt, a doctor, you’d better get behind a wheel. I want something, ‘bout the size of a mall, where you can just go downstairs or up a corridor and it’s there. Every need satisfied. There’d be a cinema, a baker, a mechanic, a vet, a butcher, a drycleaner, swimming pool, a gym, a sweet shop, a farm...” and on and on until you eventually backed out the door. 

Tallis opened his mouth with each new idea that came to mind, but no sound came out. He kept having one better than the last. “Well, I’ve always wanted a theatre...no, wait- I think instead I would build a factory that makes parachutes for eggs. Yes! That’s the one! Did I mention I’m adopted? Fell out of the nest as an egg and if it hadn’t been for that river I would have been breakfast for the meercats. That thought...never leaves me.” His eyes went wide. “I want every parent to rest assured if their egg is unlucky enough to roll away, it won’t smash because a parachute will float them safely to the ground. Then I can expand into more niche markets! Like, training wings for fledglings, or taloned boots in case their actual talons break during a hunt or something.” (Azul is lowkey listening somewhere XD)

[squidwen]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SO TENSE!!!! I HONESTLY CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT MY OCS DID IN THIS. I’M AS PROUD AS I AM SICKENED! 

AND HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW IN THE WORLD VANE WAS THE VICTOR HONSETLY MAKES ME LAUGH. But I’m so proud of my boy. 

(My conscience: He shot Ana in the head.  

Me: Shhhhhhhhhhh. Lemme be a proud momma.)

I put a bunch of ocs through the hunger games for fun

Rip. @sugarandmelody @what-nani-ano @mpfuro-station @squidwen @zackcrazyvalentine

Also, I couldn't fit some of Zack's ocs in, so I just went with who I knew. :'D

Report:

Ceridwen, Thais, Vane, Violet, Xeron, Pip, and Tallis ran away from the Cornucopia. Cowards or geniuses, who knows?

Kiran and Silas grabbed a shield, which is rather ironic, considering they're more of the offensive type?

Billy, Furo, Slyvan, and Ana shared everything they gathered before running. Billy sharing things with others in a killing game is not a move I expected from him!

Iris broke Pollux's nose over a basket of bread, it must have been some bread.

Sei snatched a pair of sais, good for him.

Aurora grabbed a shovel, I wonder why.

Mahira gave up a bag to Emilio, I expected better from him.

Report:

Thais, Ceridwen, Emilio, Wyn, Seth, Basil, Iris, Tallis, Aurora, Joules, and Ana hunted for tributes. I never would have expected some of them to do such a thing!

Xeron had time to construct a shack. Impressive.

Billy, Silas, and Furo tried to spear fish with a trident. Key word being tried.

Silas looked for a water source. Smart.

Mahira ran away from Pollux. I expected better from him.

Report:

Seth begged Iris to kill him, and she did. Oh god.

Sei received medical supplied from a sponsor, Pip received a hatchet.

Tallis thought about home. This made me feel a little guilty for putting them though this. Just a little.

Koron killed Wyn with a poisonous dart. I wonder if he made the thing himself.

Ana bombed Mahira, Aurora, and Xeron. Oh god. She's lost it, hasn't she?

Ceridwen spared Vane. How nice of her?

Pollux, Billy, Kiran, and Thais also lost it. But not the way Ana did.

Report:

Vane and Basil hunted for other tributes.

Sei attacked Slyvan, but he managed to escape. That was a close one.

Pip stabbed Joules in the back with a trident. That's a brutal way to go out.

Emilio ran away from Ana. After what happened last night, that was a smart move.

Silas tried to sleep through the entire day. Honestly, mood.

Report:

After a relatively peaceful first day, things heat up on the second day.

Report:

Furo stabbed Violet with a tree branch. Why can I picture that happening?

Ana really did lose it.

Report:

Pip convined Sei not to kill her, only to kill him instead. Talk about next level manipulation.

Furo chased Tallis, Koron ran away from Emilio. What fun.

Slyvan received a hatchet from an unknown sponsor, Silas received medical supplies. I think they would rather have swapped.

Report:

Very brutal deaths.

Report:

Koron refused to kill Basil. How mean of him.

Furo tended to Silas' wounds. How very on-brand of them.

Ceridwen spared Slyvan. I wonder if that'll backfire on her later.

Emilio received a hatchet from an unknown sponsor, Vane received clean water.

Tallis questioned his sanity. Rightfully so.

Report:

Silas has a thing where people get the urge to treat his wounds.

Ana received an explosive from an unknown sponsor. Enabling her, I see.

[squidwen]

Alright! I have a serious question here-

In a scale of 0 to 10, rate ya bois hugs >:3c I maybe wanna hug vane, basil and seth here-

I am so glad you asked!

Alright, so, I'll go from worst to best.

Vane gives the worst hugs out of all my OCs, a solid 1/10. Due to having antennae, he is very sensitive to anything that moves around him. Being hugged would make him tense up. Besides, the way his family 'hugs' is by touching their antennae. So, if Vane's antennae pat the top of your head it's as intimate as he'll get.

Seth's hugs are 2/10. Being a fashionista, he's all too aware of how easily a lot of fabrics crease. It would make him cringe to hug someone in linen or velvet and step away to see that he's ruined their look. Seth is dainty when it comes to embraces. He'll probably just squeeze your hand if he wants to show his appreciation for you. But if you're caught underwater with him, he'll squeeze your exposed skin with his tentacles to mean the same thing.

Billy is next. First off, you have to earn a hug from the guy. He only hugs those he deems an ally by impressing him through feats of loyalty and strength. When it comes to the hug itself, it's a bear one. I rate it 3/10. It will feel like he's trying to realign your spinal discs. If you're too weak to handle his embrace, get back in the gym and build that muscle! Billy: "No excuses. There's no such thing as being too strong."

Jonah comes in at number 4. His hugs are 4/10. He's not against hugging people, but getting him in a situation for a hug is near impossible. He's often so busy working on projects, with music blasting, that he won't notice that you want one. Plus, his scales are rough, he's usually coated in grease and oil, and from not being practiced in hugging, he's awkward when it comes to holding people. (Not a pleasurable experience.) Affection from Jonah is mostly just hearty pats on the back or ruffling your hair.

Ceridwen can give a decent 6/10 hug. She prefers handshakes, but if you get close enough to her that your relationship upgrades to hugging, hers are firm and friendly. She'll probably rock you from side to side briskly after removing her gauntlets so she doesn't hurt you. If you ask for a hug out of the blue, before you're close with her, she wouldn't want to make things awkard by refusing but you can bet it'll quick.

Tallis's hugs are almost top on the list for how creative he gets with them. 8/10 is what he scores. If he has you in his arms he'll press you tightly to him, flap into the air, twirl, and flutter back down; grinning. But...all the best actors have range~. He's known to give hugs that incorporate dips, dancing, teasing as he pretends to try and escape you, and tackles. Don't worry though, he'll flap his wings before you hit the floor. No harm done.

Finally, Basil takes first place with 10/10 hugs. Balanagas don't cut corners when it comes to embracing people. Whether it be nature or nurture from being cuddled with his parents' tails, Basil will wrap up your legs in coils while his arms hug your upper half. Being an apprentice chiropractor, he will be able to feel your musculature from a simple touch and know how tightly he can squeeze you. He may tease you by squeezing you slightly too hard, but what are you going to do? Struggle? There wouldn't be any point. And if Basil is cold, he'll ask if he can cuddle you for warmth. His tail is surprisingly comfortable. When it's not flexed, it feels like a memory-foam pillow, so feel free to do homework or read while he tries to not die of hypothermia.

Yo yo yo!

(pls gimme a lil flick on the forehead if I'm being square-brained and sending an ask I've already sent you before - my memory go brrr lmao)

I was wondering if I could ask how each of your OCs feel about hugs! I have an OC, Masayuki, who has strong arms (and a lot of muscle in general tbh) and a bit of a higher body temperature than most - and he's a big hugger, so I like to ask people this question.

It's a bit fluffy, and I get to share thoughts about hugs! (And hopefully I can share some serotonin too, hehe (◕ᴗ◕✿)

-fluff

(No flicking of heads down my neck of the woods, sweetie! Don't worry. You haven't sent me an ask before. Hello btw :D Welcome to my blog! You literally couldn't have asked a better question. I've been thinking about how my ocs would react to hugs).

Vane Millingwood

It was moments like these when Vane could pass for a woodlouse. His first instinct was to curl up. He felt nauseous; his stubby legs trembled; his antenna curled and uncurled frantically as he wracked his brain for escape tactics. "Get off!" he exclaimed, wriggling like a worm on a hook in Masayuki's arms. "Get off me! Let go!" The sensation of someone's touch made his blood recoil from his skin. No doubt Masayuki could feel how scrawny and bumpy Vane was in certain places. The places he hated. Jackets and baggy shirts couldn't hide him from hands, and the Caterpillar almost collapsed form nerves.

Billy MacUrse

The bear beastman had been caught off-guard by the sudden embrace. Was this a surprise attack? Had Masayuki gone in for a headlock? Even though he wasn’t applying any pressure, Billy wasn't about to take any chances. He straightened to full height and puffed out his chest; pectorals expanding and prying Masayuki's arms off. Masayuki barely had time to blink before he was slammed against the wall. "Touch me again, ye wee varmint," Billy grumbled, his forearm veins throbbing as he strained to keep the muscular man in place, "and I'll rip yer arms clean outta their sockets."

Ceridwen Christides

As with everyone Ceridwen first met in Twisted Wonderland, she was extremely cautious. Her adrenaline spiked as Masayuki closed his arms around her. However, she didn’t want to be rude. She hugged him back with her left hand, while keeping the right balled into a fist behind her back. After a while, with nothing bad happening, Ceridwen allowed herself to relax into the hug. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d been held. So few people were so brazen. Masayuki’s warmth only helped to put her at ease, and the whole experience reminded her of her father’s hugs. She bit her lip as she welled up. “That’s enough, mate” she said, pulling away. “Mind yourself now. Cheerio.”

Basil Balanaga

The mere offer of a warm hug was enough to make Basil spring onto Masayuki. Students were always wary of Basil, for his hypnotic ways and strong tail, so this was an offer he couldn’t refuse. Instinctively, he coiled himself around Masayuki. Being cold-blooded made Basil greedy for warmth and this guy was practically a walking hot water bottle. “Don’t be afraid to ssssqueeze me a little tighter,” said Basil, tightening his grip around Masayuki’s legs and stomach. When Masayuki’s breath hitched, Basil smirked coyly. “You should have known what you were getting into asking for a cuddle from someone of my kind. Come now, don’t be shy, my little boa constrictor.” The snake lay his head on Masayuki’s shoulder and signed heavily. “Let’ssss make the most of thissss.”

Seth Trent

"This jacket is made from crushed velvet! Do you have any idea how long it took me to steam it this morning?" With his dainty arms locked inside Masayuki's, Seth turned his left leg back into four tentacles and started jabbing him in the stomach. Did this man not know what personal space was? Or that velvet is an extremely delicate fabric? Seth's gaze was piercing. Regardless of how much he teetered on one leg, or his chest heaved with indignation, his eyes delivered a constant stream of disgust. "You should be put in prison for such a crime against fashion! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tell dorm leader Schoenheit about this."

Tallis Underplume

“Be careful, big guy. I’m delicate~” Tallis practically cannonballed into Masayuki’s arms. How could he pass up a good old-fashioned hug? Despite not being bulky himself, Tallis’s arms were toned from carrying set pieces around stages for years and he gave as good as he got. After a firm squeeze, Tallis leaned back and ruffled Masayuki’s hair. “Tell me, love, what exercises do you do for shoulders? They’re mighty impressive. Oh, I know! Let’s talk about it over lunch. The bell’s about to ring and I am NOT going to wait in a queue until the cows come home.” With a cheeful smile, Tallis burst out of Masayuki’s grip and took to the air on his little wings. “Race ya!”
