#Rémi Delune

[tixdixl]

Is there anything specific that you really love about your ocs?

Thank you so so much for asking this? First, I'm honored and incredibly appreciative of you for asking. And second, you really got me thinking about what I *do* love about them and why I continue to explore them even after 11 months of being in this fandom space.

So this is going to seem like a generic, generalized response, but it is something that applies to all of them.

I really love how each of my OCs, at least in my perspective, very very clearly can be traced back to their source materials while simultaneously being their own characters.

Starting with Oisín, Oisín from the get go was always meant to align both with "The Headless Horseman" and also dullahan mythology (specifically Irish and Scottish folklore). And yet, because of the way they evolved and the way I developed them in alignment with the narrative of "Twisted Wonderland", they became their own being. --- idk if folks even knew this. I never set out to have them shipped with Lilia. It entirely developed naturally and on its own. And it has turned into arguably my favorite ship out of all of them. The Headless Horseman??? Married to a Vampire???? Incredible. Amazing. 10/10

Then you have Kingsley and like... he is so at his core the Horned King, and every which way you look at his narrative, even his character development? It aligns itself in the way that the narrative of the "Chronicles of Prydain" unfolds. Even when he has his seige on the castle, it feels on par with the actions of the Horned King or any of the other antagonists from the series. His temperment and his personality? 100% - and yet his choices are his own. His narrative is his own. He gets the Cauldron. He gets to KEEP the Cauldron. Its HIS. Not Tarran's!!!!!

René, Rémi, and Eve are so painfully the main trio of "Swan Lake" (the ballet). And yet René's entire narrative and personality is contingent on a question that the ballet NEVER answers or even considers: "Who is Odile without Rothbardt?" And so the Odile we get in NRC, René, is my interpretation of who Odile would be when alone. How she would act if functioning on her own and without the evil magician. So sure, René is Odile. But René also is René. And only René.

Emil holds an incredibly special place in my heart where this theme is concerned. I don't think many people are aware of the anti-semitism in "Tangled". So when I thought of the idea of a Dame Gothel expy, I went in with the idea of creating a Gothel who just was Jewish coded but not a charicature. I incorporated elements from the original Rapunzel tale, the adaptation of "Into the Woods", "Tangled", and added flavor in the form of jewish beliefs and jewish customs. It's resulted into a character who is very very clearly Gothel in his narrative and in his personality and in his relationships, but he isnt restricted by the narrative or characterization as depicted by Disney. He has grown beyond that just like the beanstalk that ended up in his bestie's backyard. Also-- his Overblot? Chef's kiss.

Xiáng is ESPECIALLY fun here. Because when I originally created him, I didn't have a Disney character in mind. He showed up an amalgamation of different ideas and themes from stories I've read recently that I really enjoyed. And then @inmateofthemind popped into my DMs and asked me if Xiáng was twisted from Crikee from "Mulan". And I sat there. And i looked at all the drawn comparisons. And i couldn't deny.... the parallels were to strong not to lean into it. And the more I leaned into it? The more and more he showed himself to BE Crikee. And yet he so ISNT!!!!!! It's honestly so fun.

Sefu is also really fun, because they came from a rewatch of Lion King 2: Simba's Pride with @ramshacklerumble . And I honestly just gave myself permission to take the idea of Zira and REALLY LEAN into the yandere, creepy territorial fan aspect of her character. It also gave me the opportunity to explore how I personally think Zira's dynamic with Scar looked like, based on the implications set out by the film. We never get to see it in the media, which means that Sefu does have the opportunity to expand beyond the scope of Disney, and I do get to determine how much Leona actually can't stand them lol.

Alphonse too is such a fun one. Because his source material depicts the Wellies as incredibly static and yet emotionally driven characters, I get the opportunity to explore the question "What would allow the Wellies (from "Giselle" the ballet) to actually move on and rest in the after life?" It's also a fun opportunity to explore the very blurred lines between fae and ghosts in older Anglo/Irish folklore, as the Wellies were supposed to be inspired by the Otherfolk.

If you're still reading this- thank you so much for sticking around?? Genuinely, I appreciate it and I hope you enjoyed the read. If you want more specific details about any of the things mentioned, please don't hesitate to ask!

On the topic of more TWST OC headcanons and thoughts, a personal favorite I keep coming back to is one about French accents that I discussed with @tixdixl . (I know it's "not technically French" because this is TWST but for the sake of argument, the language is French so I'm fucking calling it French, flex your rubber band labeled Suspension Of Disbelief a little.)

The idea was that my boy Toussaint "Tea" Anatole is in discussion with their OCs Rémi and Eve, because iirc they're all from Fleur City and speak a more Parisian dialect of French.

Rook overhears this because of course he does, he's Rook, and since he's the dorm brother of my boy Copper and giving him some additional tutoring during lunch hour to help him brush up, Rook decides he's pulling Copper along with him and they're going to just join in on their conversation. They all speak French of course!

Except there's a very slight learning curve. Even their Fleur City dialects differ in minute ways between Tea, and Rémi and Eve, as they're from different parts of the city. That dialect is also different from Rook's French since he's from Sunset Savanna (I headcanon it's probably like West-African dialects of French) and it's also different from Copper's Cajun French. So it probably takes them all a second to adjust a little here and there. They do get there pretty quick though!

Groovy: [locked]

Set Home: Thank you for letting me in.

Home Transition 1: It's not often that the schools come together for a grand event like this. I'm honestly just honored to be invited.

Home transition 2: More often than not, I find myself dancing solo. It'll be a definite change of pace if anyone asks to dance with me.

Home transition 3: I've gone to many events like this, but I can't say I've ever had so many eyes on me at once. Not like this, anyway...

Home, after Login: Everyone looks so ethereal this evening.

Home Transition, Groovification: [locked]

Tap Home 1: I really hope René hasn't noticed me being here. I really don't want things to get awkward, not during an event like this.

Tap Home 2: That gentleman with the horns keeps looking my direction. I'm not sure if I should feel flattered or worried.

Tap Home 3: I haven't had any opportunities to go out without having some sort of escort before. I'll admit... I'm rather nervous.

Tap Home 4: I wonder who that young lady in the Grecian inspired gown is... she's absolutely stunning.

Tap Home 5: I... think Beau is stealing the forks again. I think I just saw some white tail feathers dip behind the column over there.

Tap Home, Groovification: [locked]

Duo Magic lines (with René Lamar): Are you going to steal my night again? || Wouldn't dream of it~.

So thanks to finishing René, designing Rémi's outfit came much easier. For folks who aren't aware, Rémi is René's counter part - the White Swan expy to my Black Swan expy.

I'll also be the first to admit: I did in fact sneak some subtle references to the ballet in both of their designs and both of their lines. Since the Grand Pas D'action scene in Act 2 of the ballet is a giant ball, it only felt fitting to include both of them and to make references to the actual ballet (yes, even knowing that this is a Cinderella event.) I will also say with transparency that the choice of having René as the SSR and Rémi as the SR entirely comes from the roles that Odile and Odette play in the Grand Pas D'Action - as do their Duo Magic lines.

💬 for rené!!

A darkness fell over his eyes like a permanent shadow.

(CW: Mild violence and blood)

As their eyes met his, they instantly felt the grips of anxiety spread like wildfire in their core. Like a tidal wave crashing, pulling them into an unrelenting riptide. Their insides tore themselves apart with sharp, throbbing aches. Their heart beat so hard, they thought it would tear itself out of their chest. Sweat dripped down their face, mixing with the tears in their eyes. The sting more like a reminder that despite their desires not to exist in this moment, they were painfully alive. And as the persperation pooled in their palms, they failed to grip the ends of their sleeves.

Jitters began to creep into their arms and legs. The kind of energy that makes a person ready to run. Ready to punch someone in the face. But they stood there. Unwavering.

His sapphire blue eyes seemed to grow purple with the rising fury that seemed to leak out of his own mask. The white swan let out a slow, hot exhale as he took three steps closer. Somehow, in all of this, Rémi never lost his touch with grace. He never lost his elegance, despite being overcome with a rage that René had never seen before.

"Say it again," he demanded, though his voice remained soft, quiet, and unwavering, "Out loud."

"You were right," René responded, the trained confidence oozing out of their voice despite their own body tattling on them, "I used my Unique Magic on her. And..." they took in a deep breath, "And I told him what happened. It's just as you said."

Without another moment passing, the white swan's fist connected with the black swan's face. Despite their own strength, it was enough to knock them to the ground. As their knees and palms collided with the pavement, the taste of iron swept over their tongue. A scalding liquid begun to drip from their nose, dripping into their lips and down their chin.

Iron. It tasted like iron.

The adrenaline pulsing through their veins numbed the pain. It hadn't registered yet, but they knew they would feel a throbbing in their face sooner than later. A harmony to accompany the stabbing sensation in their abdomen.

They needed to hold it together. They needed to numb the pain. Ignore it. Pretend it didn't exist.

But they didn't raise their head. Nor did they look Rémi in the eye. They knew they deserved it.

Honesty always deserved a reprimand.

You mentioned in DMs you were interested in Eve, and Rémi, so let's go with that! I'm gonna change it up a bit and add Xiáng tho if thats ok!

If you put Xiáng and Puck in the same room, you better pray the school isnt on fire from the two of them causing problems on purpose. I can entirely see Puck taking advantage of Xiáng's tendancy toward mischief to escalate situations into catastrophes that the two of them *barely* managed to escape in one piece. (Ngl, I would like to explore this, but no pressure on that front.)

As far as Eve and Rémi are concerned, I legit have to wonder if Fia would accidentally misinterpret their dynamic as being romantic. And it taking the two of them awkwardly explaining that they are just really close childhood friends and that Eve is so gay it hurts for her to realize that there's actually nothing really romantic about their dynamic at all. Their dynamic doesn't even fall into QPP territory either. But their openness and closeness and trust in each other would very likely confuse Fia at first. Especially in that sense of like "Wait, I thought you said you were single???"

Eve: I aaaaaaaaaaaaam.... ;A;

From this list, 9 and 20 for Rémi?

Oh these are definitely fun to think about. Thanks for asking!

9) What is your OC’s greatest wish/dream/goals?

Rémi wishes to be able to be his own person despite his mother's wishes, and also to find the people who love and care for him unconditionally.

I know that seems a little like... childish and easy, but he is the white swan after all. ^^;

20) What hobbies does your OC have?

He is majorly into make up, fashion, and especially the theater. He is super interested in theatrical acting of a myriad of types, as well as special and practical effects. He started off getting into make up because of his mother and his role as a model, but when he realized make up could be used in practical effects, and that it could be used both for glam and for horror, he nose dived.

Thanks again for asking!

What canon character gets annoyed by your OC?

For any of your choosing!

Thank you for this!!

Oisín: Riddle and Azul. Azul because of what happens in Worth its Weight in Gold; Riddle because of the way Oisín will routinely put Riddle in Trolley Problem like scenarios when it comes to rule breaking.

Kingsley: ....i feel like a better question is who doesnt 🤣😅

René: Vil and Idia predominantly. Vil can't stand René's wasted potential. Idia finds their entire schtick to be a waste of time and more complicated than it needs to be.

Emil: Leona, Vil, and the Tweels; between his "I know best" attitude, his refusal to be a doormat, and the way he just... gets in the way sometimes. Also Jade doesn't like the fact he owes Emil a favor.

Rémi: Malleus... there's an entire novel here that I don't have time to get into, but let's just say he finds them intrusive. Sebek just... doesn't know what to do with them lol.

Eveline: Sebek cannot stand her at all. He finds her annoying, in the way, and intrusive. Also Jamil finds her annoying. She enables Kalim a lot and he can't stand it.

"Homeland" from the asks, for all your OCs?

Thanks for the ask!!! And since you said "all"... I'm gonna do my best to give you all of the ones I've thought through. There are a few more I'm still fleshing out, so I hope this will suffice.

Homeland: Where is your twst OC from? Do they know anyone from the same hometown prior to NRC?

Oisín: Briar Valley. And yeah, they pretty much know the entire Briar Valley cast from Book 7, including your OC Cenric as well as a few additional OCs I've created to fill in space regarding their Pre-NRC story.

Kingsley: The Isle of Cantrevs. This is a fan-made location, so there aren't any canons or other OCs who live here.

Emil: I haven't exactly placed his hometown? Mainly because I'm torn between putting it in the Shaftlands or in the Sunshine Lands. I can tell you that he doesn't know anyone outside his home prior to coming to NRC due to the secluded nature of his hometown.

René: They are from Fleur City. While they don't know Rollo, they do know of your Anatole siblings through notoriety, and of course they know my other two from Fleur City: Rémi and Eveline.

Rémi: Same as René. They are from Fleur City, and in addition to knowing René and Eveline and knowing of your cats, they know and have worked with Vil on a few occassions. I'm including Vil in this simply because she is from the Shaftlands, even if she isn't from Fleur City.

Eveline: Same as René. She is from Fleur City, and knows virtually the same circle as the other two. Her biggest thing really is that she is more acquainted with people from outside her home.

As I said before, I know I have a few others but I haven't fully fleshed things out. So I'd rather wait and update this later.

Torture— Kingsley

Betrayal— René

OH THESE ARE FUN- I love that you just went straight for the juggular on these. Thanks for the ask!

torture: Has your OC ever been tortured? Would your OC ever torture someone else?

Kingsley had been tortured, but not necessarily in the way you think? At the very least I think it consistutes as torture.

Forced isolation and repeated over-exertion are the two things that immediately come to mind. The former being "discipline" from his parents, the later being "training" to become stronger.

I think Kingsley, especially freshman year, would torture someone? And I definitely can see that being challenged though when he starts being surrounded by people who challenge his upbringing.

betrayal: Has your OC ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust? Has your OC ever betrayed someone who trusted them?

OKAY STRAP IN. THIS ONE IS A DOOZY.

So let me give you so much needed context. René's father, Aldrich Lamar, is an incredibly successful entrepenuer and CEO of a business (TBD) of which he uses his own connections and René's charisma, skills, and magical abilities to further his gains. One such network connection is a business rivalry with the mother of Rémi Delune (the white swan expy). They are constantly putting their children in questionable circumstances, especially where beaucratic bs is involved. So as a child, René was raised to believe the only acceptable version of themself was the version their father created.

As children, Rémi and René assumed that they were friends, as many children do. Except René had been raised to believe they had to lie to both Rémi and their friend Eve (Seigfried expy) about their interests, opinions, hobbies. Basically anything that would allow René to get closer to them regardless of their true feelings. And even if they weren't doing this because their father said so, they really didn't know how else they were supposed to get along with people. But over time... they start to notice that Eve and Rémi are much closer to each other, and not to them, and they start to wonder if its because they arent being truthful, like the other two are. So... they try. They try to be authentic, and its unpracticed, and messy, and honestly off-putting in a lot of ways. And it starts driving them away more than their original demeanor had.

While I haven't sorted out all of the details, essentially, a magical contractual agreement or oath is made involving Rémi and Eve, and out of their failure to understand why they dislike René so much, they discover their UM - Oathbreaker, which can break a magical contract of a spell of equal or lesser value - by shattering the agreement that had been made by the two of them. And as you can guess, this destroys their trust in René and seriously hurts Rémi both physically and emotionally.

I know theres a lot of work I need to do in order to take the idea threads and make them work cohesively here? But this is the sort of rough draft start that I have. So... please be mindful that if it sounds rough around the edges, I'm working on it. 😅

Random Toussaint "Tea" Anatole fact of the day:

While he typically gives the answer that he wants to be the patron to great artists someday, Tea rarely has found an opportunity to talk about his true dream. @tixdixl 's Rémi Delune is one of the few people who asks the precise question that prompts Tea to share the greater answer, and that it is one day he hopes to create the greatest multicultural annual art festival in Twisted Wonderland.

Though his own skills as a painter are amateurish, Tea is very skilled at creating connections with others and even before he and his brother start attending Royal Sword Academy, Tea has already been learning how to network and the value of it. He intends to spend his educational years making some of those connections, improving his networking, and carry on into his internship year with the bold hope to begin laying the groundwork for his dream.

This began back when his stepfather first met and formed a friendship with their family, and took them on a long adventure back to their home after they'd been stranded. Along the way, Tea began to pay attention to the art and culture of wherever they passed through and fell in love with the way people connect with one another through art, and that art itself takes many forms. Since then, he has wanted that wonderful festival to be real and open to every part of Twisted Wonderland and every person from every background in it, no matter their medium or craft~.

I love this so much, and I keep thinking about how Copper starts out only having a smattering of French from the way it is used in his home. I keep thinking about the universal experience that language learners have the first time they enter a native-speaker space, and how Rook and the others will have to continually encourage him at the start, because performance anxiety is the worst. But tbh, there isn't a better group of students to encourage him and practice around, because other students likely will not have the same patience or willingness to help him out.

I have so many L2 learning thoughts, but I don't wanna just overtake your post xD
