Rosewood Readathon Day 8!!

Chapter 21

- Lottie getting the Portman job is supposed to be a scene that’s so exciting for her but it just kills me to think of Jamie wishing he could save Lottie from it

- And of course Lottie taking it as Jamie not thinking she’s good enough. He’s trying to protect you!!!

- Portmans are this big royal secret but making Lottie a Portman is basically giving up that secret forever because they all know she’s going to eventually have to be revealed as a Portman ??? Did that make sense

Chapter 22

- Can Lottie not get access to melatonin or something??

- Princess lessons!! Anyone else remember that rwch animatic of the Barbie song about being a princess? Did I hallucinate that?

- Raphael being Jamie’s first friend outside the castle is so important to me

Chapter 23

- I would do anything to go to the Rosewood library are you kidding me.

- Lottie immediately being jealous of Ellie getting along with Saskia, this girl is in love

- I feel like they make the not sleeping thing into a bigger deal than it is??? Lottie could’ve easily gotten some sleeping pills or something weeks ago and fixed it. Insomnia is common especially in students but to Ellie and Jamie this is the end of the world

Sorry I’m a day late! I’ll get today’s posted as soon as it’s done

[gracieblood]

i’ll bring this fandom back from the dead if it’s the last thing i do

honestly i could’ve put everyone in the bottom section

*sigh* i have to tag all of them now don’t i

[darthvadersinhaler]

It’s so crazy to think about how many ‘what if’ scenarios there are for the rosewood chronicles and how much they would change the series like

What if Ellie had joined Leviathan?

What if Saskia had managed to kidnapped Lottie at the summer ball?

What if Claude never tried to kill Hirana? Or Hirana had survived childbirth?

What if Jamie’s parentage was never kept a secret?

What if Claude had revealed that he was Jamie’s father when they were on the roof in Tokyo?

What if Jamie had joined Leviathan when he was confronted by the Goat Man?

What if Saskia never defected from Leviathan and redeemed herself? Or what if Jamie stayed with Claude and Leviathan forever?

What if Ellie and Lottie had disregarded Sayuri’s desires and told Jamie about Haru’s identity?

What if Ellie successfully killed her parents at the Golden Flower Festival while under the Hamelin Formula?

SORRY I reread the books recently and I’ve been Thinking Thoughts.

Ch 32

I LOVE THIS I love how after you've read the series already, you can see the cogs turning in Saskia's head. It must be so shitty to be a partizan and see someone else have so little regard for their own partizan that they don't know about their basic interests (even though that's not the case here, its just how it appears from Saskia's POV). I really do feel for all the kids who were part of leviathan

[olliesmoreno]

chapter 21/22/23 - undercover princess

chapter 21

- lottie telling jamie she’s going to impress him and jamie having a sad expression. these books are so good to reread bc of details like that.

- oscar’s diary is so interesting. “the faithful fake” is such an exciting term idk.

- their book tastes is also quite interesting

chapter 22

- ellie truly is sweet for waking up with lottie for the princess lessons

- i want to know when the maravish ancient dialect is used 😔 the curiosity kills me every time

- what is the need for jamie to continuously make jabs at ellie though lol

- claude. that part is quite spooky yeah

- a royal ball IS exciting (#teamlottie)

- even the mention of the etiquette class makes me shiver ngl!

- okay japhael origins.

- jamie and raphael are actually cute and i think if they were canon that would have genuinely been really good.

- i like the opposites attract aspect of it. it like encourages jamie to loosen up and raphael to take more responsibility and they have mutual interests.

- japhael is the kiribaku (mha) of the rwch fandom if you will. will never be canon, but what could have been !! it not being canon at all is part of the appeal maybe.

- i know jamie might have just been using raphael and he barely gaf about him in the end but let me daydream ok.

- and @lottiepumpkinofficial mentioned the romantic parallels with comparing them to lollie who are obviously romantically implied. japhael cooks idc!!

- the idea of ellie using jamie for coffee runs is so funny lol

- “i promise you’ll be fine little princess. you’re a natural” lollie are everything to me btw

chapter 23

- i love this chapter LMAO

- i forgot about the ellie and saskia thing 😑

- yeah i’m not a fan of it ngl. smthing is going on but i do not like the ship. esp with saskia kind of flirting when ani is RIGHT there.

- the ellie dig ani made 😭

- ani is also extremely thoughtful for the princess and the pea sleeping remedy. there’s a lot to this.

- i do feel for ani a lot. she’s one of my fave characters and i wish she did a lot more by the end of the series but i’m somewhat digressing.

- just realised jamie told her to get more sleep the last chapter and now he’s like “lottie, are you not sleeping?” 😭 i thought he knew.

- ani being like “no!” also a lot of layers here. ani ily.

- this chapter is so dramatic there’s so much underlying stuff LOL

[zuutiomi]

very late but for the OC Asks: Firsts!

death and friend for Mikayla, Nerevarine and Altrus!

DEATH: What was your OC's first experience with death? Was it a person they knew, a pet they had, a story they heard? How did they feel about it then, and what do they remember about it now?

Nerevarine : Ohhh Nerevarine's experience with death was durning fight on red mountain with Dagoth Ur who almost killed Nerevarine but after it they surived it. However later they worked hard to improve with their skills. But the first ever experience with death for Nerevarine was durning their dreams about how Nerevar has died ,they felt so scared and thought how they made Azura and people on Vvardenfell disapointed with the fact that once again they can die by hands of tribunal.

Altrus : His first ever experience with death was when he was young and he acedently killed one of servant in Alinor and it was his first atemtpt of doing necromancy , the second was when his parents died by hands of dark brotherhood (who he himself ordered to kill them) ,he felt so relieved ,later his wife died from sickness but I think the most deep and heartbroking was Martin's dead ,since he was the only one who was dear to him and the only one who Altrus' let his tears go.

Mikayla : For Mikayla her first experience with death would be probably durning helgen and when lot people died there ,after escaping there Mikayla couldn't much sleep and she was really overthinking how a lot of innocent people have died there and she couldn't do much ,she regret it everyday. Later probably death of Ancano has also took her to edge ,she didn't wanted to end this way but she didn't had choice she still remebers how she hold his death body and cry

FRIEND: Who was your OC's first friend? How did they meet? What was their friendship like? Are they still friends now?

Nerevarine : oohhh their first ever friend in Vvardenfell was Dagoth Ivris (my dagoth oc) it was funny how they met because once when Nerevarine was drinking alone ,Ivris has caught their eyes and when she left the tavern ,they decided to follow her but what they didn't know that she was high active memeber of morang tong ,when she killed her target ,nerevarine quickly hide but of course Ivris quickly moved to stop him ,and put her dagger against their throat, when they promised her that they won't tell anyone about it ,she wasn't very trustful and deiced to follow them, when she also noticed that the outlander is also nerevar reborn ,she decided to also used them to bring back house dagoth to place. They are still friends even in 4E 201 .

Altrus : Actually as much as I would like to say it was Martin ,I have to say that first ever Altrus friend was Baurus ,even after escaping imperial prison and death of Uriel ,both later become friends and very close best friend ,it was also Baurus who helped Altrus confess his feelings toward Martin. After Martin's death Baurus was there for Altrus to comfort him but later their friendship cut when Altrus went to shivering isle.

Mikayla : hmmm for Mikayla I would say her first ever friend was Lydia ,even tho Lydia always adressed to Mikayla as "Thane" Mikayla said to her she doesn't has to call her that and she can call her by her name. Both togheter always goes for adventure and both of them always got each other backs. Lydia has thaught Mikayla with using weapons havier and train her muscles ,while Mikayla has taught Lydia how to do potions. They are still very close tho Mikayla trust Lydia to take care for Sofie while she is on advenures and saving skyrim, but both of them writes to each others letters.

THROWING HANDS.

☾ synopsis: shy s/o who can fight ☾ character/s: lottie pumpkin, ellie wolf, jamie volk, anastacia alcroft, saskia san martin, raphael wilcox, lola tompkins, micky tompkins ☾ warnings: swearing ☾ notes: no percy cause i didn't add him the first time, also no binah cause she's an aroace queen

𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 & 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 / 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬

── 𝗟𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡.

lottie understands being shy and timid

but for once she wanted to protect you

there were many soft moments until she got kidnapped by saskia

and you were furious

lottie was genuinely shocked that someone so shy could fight so effortlessly

she definitely saw parallels between jamie and you

she also doesn’t feel the need to protect you as much anymore

but she lowkey wants to be trained by you instead of jamie

── 𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗟𝗙.

ellie has never had to protect you once

thankfully

she still hasn’t had to

when she was told that you knew martial arts she talked you into sparring with jamie

jamie felt bad about fighting you, cause he didn’t know, so he went easy on you

and you won by a landslide

you guys arm wrestled and you won on both arms

ellie hasn’t let jamie live that down and it’s been 3 years

── 𝗝𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗘 𝗩𝗢𝗟𝗞.

he’s secretly whipped for you, let’s be honest

he does so much for you because you’re too shy to ask

ironically, you were scared of him first

he was big and scary and confident

jamie thought the same until he went to tompkins manor

he had a stress-induced aneurysm when he watched you and julius battle it out

was overwhelmingly proud of you when you disarmed ingrid

so now he trains against you even though you worry about hurting him

he thinks it’s cute that you’re worried when you’re evenly matched

── 𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗔 𝗔𝗟𝗖𝗥𝗢𝗙𝗧.

honey, your shyness was what made her fall in love with you

but she was confused when you had a face-off against saskia

someone she used to love is now fighting someone she does love

w h a t

she thought you’d never hurt a fly until that night

she was blown away

typically you were reluctant to train against he for fencing practice

but after this, she begged you to help train her

it took 5 tries before you gave in

── 𝗦𝗔𝗦𝗞𝗜𝗔 𝗦𝗔𝗡 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗜𝗡.

never saw it coming

was always worried leviathan would damage your innocence

of course, she always wondered why you watched her train all the time

as if you were downloading everything she was capable of doing

saskia realised this wasn’t too far from the truth when you fought ingrid at tompkins manor

she charged at you with a knife and saskia was about to punch her square in the face

but you twisted her arm and held her in a choke hold, tossing the knife to jamie

her heart died, revived, and died again

worry had left the building

── 𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗪𝗜𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗫.

he loves how shy you are

always kisses you in front of everyone to see you flustered

anastacia loves you guys together, but she wants to duel you damnit

raphael encouraged you to go for it, so you did

anastacia isn’t completely unfair, so she taught you some skills in the lead up

raphael isn’t great at the privacy game, so he told everyone, obviously

you weren’t very happy about that, but you showed the rosewood gang your skills

and now raphael thinks you’re super cool and badass

wants to learn some too, but you don’t trust him

── 𝗟𝗢𝗟𝗔 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗦.

saw it coming the least

loved you even more after you saved her from leviathan

had a heart attack when you and her got tied up by julius

lola thought lottie was brave for rolling to block ingrid and letting her run for help

but then she came back and you were fighting ingrid and julius with your hands still tied

she was so relieved you could hold your own

and micky stopped being so protective of lola when he saw you could protect her

── 𝗠𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗬 𝗧𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗦.

you both got a comment about how everyone somewhat expected it

you and micky wondered why until jamie explained it

"you’re both too innocent, but if one of you were to be secretly badass, it’d be [name]."

micky wasn’t sure if that was an insult to him, or a compliment to you

but he took it as a compliment to you when you were training with anastacia while he was chasing percy’s sleep walking

he was very impressed

he also appreciated you can defend yourself and him if it ever came down to it

kelin may i hear more about rockstar touya \(★ω★)/

I was planning to post other headcanons before going for these, BUT I’ve got some for Rockstar!Touya that are pestering my mind these days and your asks come in the right moment, so bear with me please 🤧

࣪𖤐… ROCKSTAR!TOUYA

The first time Touya knew that he wanted to become a rockstar was in middle school, right at the age of thirteen, his influent CEO of a father was trying to mold him into a carbon copy of himself to rival Yagi Toshinori’s Enterprise. While taking a break from studies, he saw his sister watch on TV a rock concert of “Loudness” and to say Akira Takasaki is his role model is the least. That’s a true legend to him.

After “Loudness” and Akira Takasaki, he discovered “Metallica” and Kirk Hammett which made him go like “HOW??? HAVE??? I??? MISSED??? ALL??? THIS???”, scolding himself for taking so long to fall in love with the electric guitar and its sound. The next week he’s blasting full volume “The Final Countdown” by Europe inside the Todoroki Mansion like the good old stamp rock fanatic he is, getting himself scolded and grounded by Enji who is a fan of traditional Japanese music so yeah…

At one of the Todoroki family gatherings during the weekend, he was scrolling down his phone looking first of all where to take guitar lessons and second for a guitar to buy, but he knew his father would never agree to get him one. That’s when his grandfather, peeking at his grandson’s phone, butted in and asked Touya if he’s interested in music. He wasn’t sure if it was a good thing to answer that question, since he’s the father of his father, but he did and hell has it been the best thing he did!

On his fourteenth birthday, Enji’s father bought Touya his very first electric guitar, a good old Fender Stratocaster CUSTOM MADE for him. It’s snow white like his hair and has a his name engraved on the bottom left side of the guitar, while on the other side there were engraved tiger’s fangs, all in turquoise… The color of his eyes. And this has been by far Touya’s best birthday ever.

After finishing Middle School he choose to attend an Art School, taking the music classes as main classes of course; he may or not have done it to piss off and raise Enji’s blood pressure from how mad he got for choosing something different from Finances and Management. Oh his father was livid and Touya was so proud of himself for that.

He has formed a rock band, of which he’s the guitarist and vocalist, with Tenko Shimura (Bassist&Vocalist) and Shuichi Iguchi (Drummer) called “The Villains”… Are we even surprised about this name? Really? Because I am not. Tenko suggested, Iguchi supported strongly and Touya just went with it because complaining and thinking about another name was “Too much effort”. He likes it a lot but will never admit it.

At the age of nineteen, Touya owns a Fender Stratocaster (Custom Made), an Elite Stratocaster, an ST-83-80 Japan (1983) black, Lone Star Strat, IC350 black, IC50 black, ICHI00 white, Gibson SG Standard mahogany and a Jackson Pro Series DK Modern HT6 MS. He also owns four acoustic guitars for songwriting, like a Martin GPC-X1E, Martin 000-28 Modern Deluxe, Taylor GS Mini-e Rosewood SN LTD and a Taylor AD22e. Did he pay all them with Enji’s credit card? Hell yeah. Did he do it out of spite? Absolutely. Did he care about his father’s blood pressure rising even more? Not even remotely.

His favorite groups are Loudness, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Europe, Scorpions, Slipknot, Three Days Grace, Green Day, Skillet, Linkin Park, The Rasmus, L’Arc-En-Ciel, UVERworld, Nirvana, Guns N’ Roses and Evanescence to list some, because there are many more he adores honestly. He isn’t a picky ear as long as the song gives him chills and inspires him, being someone who’s driven by emotions that’s what makes him likes something he hears.

Atsuhiro is their homeroom teacher, at the Art University they attend, who introduces them to Giran, a friend of his, who has an agency for new talents and after they sent him six of their songs wants to launch their very first album by August to make them debut at the “Rock In Japan Fes.”

Touya, being the emotional driven type of musician, is the one put to write the lyrics for the band’s songs and most of the times are hits, especially because his and Tenko’s voice brings to life the emotions of the lyrics in a way that it reaches the listeners right into the heart and soul.

You will never catch Touya’s fingers empty, there’s always rings decorating them and some rings are even custom made by his cousin Geten, who owns a Jewelry shop that he promotes a lot on his social media. One of his most precious rings is the one that he got made for him, with his birthstone carved in it, when he turned eighteen.

He has three earrings on his right ear: an helix, mid helix, conch and low helix. Four on his left one: two helix, a low helix and one on the lobe, plus three nostril piercings on the right side of his nose.

After “The Villains” debuts and proving his father that he could succeed through music without his help nor his name, Touya owns now a black card that he lets Fuyumi and Shoto use to their heart content.

Last, but not least, be ready to be the muse of Touya’s songs the instant he falls head over heels for you. The moment it happens everything, and I mean everything, to him becomes about you driving Tenko and Iguchi to pure exasperation.

Chapter 42.

Princess in Practice 

Context: Climax of the Book!! Part One. Ingrid and Julius (his name? idk bro he's not that iconic), crashed the party because delusional Ingrid needs to blame sb else for not having the time to fix her nails.

If we die, we die together... with the power of friendship :sparkles_sparkles:

Anastacia offending Saskia. Some character development in that department

Also, Saskia's "protecting Ani" goal consists of... approving her being kidnapped-?

Percy’s Father deserves the best-dad-of-the-year-award. He’s out here setting the bar so high, it’s in the clouds.

Ok, I like that some of the coincidences are caused by the Leviathan duo, but like- as Ingrid joked about— Girl, why didn’t you just steal from the twins and play that melody? It might’ve saved some time and a lot of drama—plus, you could’ve actually fixed your nails.

Not them telling them their whole evil plan muhahaha, Leviathan truly studying from the dusty old ‚how-to-villian‘ book. Such a waste of precious Ingrid nail-painting time.

FENCINGGGGG.—let’s get those sabres flying.

Premise: I’m rereading the Rosewood Chronicles Series for the first time after years, so take my chaotic commentary with a grain of salt (or a whole salt shaker). Open to spoilers.

Rosewood Readathon Day 12!!

Chapter 34

- Why are there fireworks going off before midnight you’re supposed to save them for when it’s the new year

- Raphael is actually so dumb for trying to scare them oh my god hahaha

- Lottie is just like me fr “But it’s off limits!” I would have turned around and left rightttt away I’m such a rule follower it’s sad. Lottie the autism is strong.

- Saskia is actually a terrible head of house if she’s letting everyone break the one rule. Foreshadowing that she’s not to be trusted??

- Was there ever a reason given as to why it was off limits?

- Ellie being super selfish again because she KNOWS that her being at the party means Lottie and Jamie have to be there too even though they obviously don’t want to be. This reread is actually making me so angry at Ellie

Chapter 35

- Jamie is lowkey stupid for drinking Anastacia’s lemonade when he’s supposed to be suspicious of her

- Seriously how is Ani allowing all this flirting between Ellie and Saskia

- This chapter is so iconic though this is one of the big ones fr. Fueled all the jottie shippers back in the day

- Hamelin formula time!!!!

Chapter 36

- I don’t really ship Jamie and Lottie but their relationship is so important to me. Lottie dove into the pool for him and revived him even though she had no idea what she was doing. All of that for someone who she thinks doesn’t even like her but he actually cares SO MUCH I’m gonna cry

Chapter 37

- Punishment was way too light for everyone, Saskia should have definitely lost her title and I’m not just saying that because she’s the villain but she endangered everyone by allowing it to happen

- Professor Devine talks to both Lottie and Ellie about her disappointment but seriously Lottie had no choice since it’s suspicious if Jamie’s there without his “princess” so really it’s all Ellie’s fault. Why is this reread turning me into an Ellie hater

That’s it for tonight!

[gracieblood]

if the rosewood gang watched stranger things (( this took me ages for some reason 😭 )) :

lottie: absolutely terrified of it, shaking in her disney princess pyjamas, loves nancy though, and will watch it to make the others happy

jamie: “yeah, it’s an alright show i guess” is actually secretly the biggest fan ever, bi mike truther and byler analyst

ellie: laughs at all the gory bits much to everyone else’s annoyance, elmax shipper and “everyone is gay” truther

anastasia: max mayfield kinnie and elumax shipper, likes the show a lot more than she lets on

saskia: yells “lesbian” every time el comes on screen. which is quite annoying. because. el’s on screen quite a lot. nobody disagrees with her, however.

binah: analyses every episode frame by frame, byler and lumax shipper, points out all the tiny details and references to 1980’s things that nobody else notices

lola: sits in complete and utter silence with her bag of fudge and nobody knows if she’s terrified or loving it (she’s loving it)

mickey: also sits in complete and utter silence with his bag of fudge but everyone knows he’s absolutely terrified. he’s also a will byers kinnie but he doesn’t know that since he’s too scared to watch

percy: he is for byler if byler is for byler and he is sure as hell that byler is for byler. 50/50 split between mike and will and has decided that him and mickey are the definition of byler (i wrote byler way too much here)

raphael: “lmao they’re so gay” “she’s a lesbian” “look me in the eye and tell me that man is not bisexual” has been kicked in the head (by ani) multiple times for talking too much, lucas sinclair kinnie and byler shipper

ollie: him and raphael have a stranger things tumblr account where they just post memes and copy and paste binah’s byler analyses, byler and elumax shipper, has to sit on the floor when they watch it as a group because nobody cares enough about him to save him a seat 😭😭😭😭
