#anyways there's like a really interesting dynamic between jade and jamil in canon

[crystallizsch]

💜: Jade always sits me down to drink tea with him after shifts at the lounge. I won't lie, it feels genuine and it's... honestly pretty sweet of him. The tea he makes me is really soothing, like it's made for me. It's definitely better than my regular dose of coffee every day.

getting the random urge to draw crack ship art with yuusha bc i think it’d be funny

[crystallizsch]

so i drew jamil and yuusha kissing once?? twice??? and now i cant stop thinking about doing it again helpme. anyways-

this is the evil part: unintentional side effect of opening those floodgates is that i drew it with jade too 😔

one of these scenes is canon and it’s not the one you think

noodle-cubed dynamic (thanks tato for the name 😔🫶) my beloathed /j

anyways. rambling. i feel like i need to actually explain my thought process about this whole mess---

since canonically jade and jamil already have a funny dynamic (namely through jamil's applepom card + other instances i think), i’d like to think in the beginning jade was interested in jamil (in whatever kind of sense really)

then jade finds out there’s something going on with jamil and yuusha so he just??? kinda left them alone to marinate for a while. observing i guess.

but throughout the first year yuusha was there, nothing happened between her and jamil. they were never in an official relationship despite treating each other as if they should be in one.

so in yuusha's second year, jade went in to stir things up via yuusha to provoke jamil. (+ the other reason jade is doing this is because technically yuusha and jade were already somewhat friends after spending time with each other as yuusha works in mostro lounge)

sometimes it works. jade sees how jamil gets bothered by his interactions with yuusha. jamil is good at hiding it, but jade notices. like how jamil's mood sours more than usual at jade's presence and how the prefect is looks a bit more excitable when he's around. and the more jade notices, the more he tries more elaborate schemes.

this may have backfired though. it seems that jamil grew more resigned to the fact rather than be vocal about it. most likely because yuusha had shown signs of falling for jade's advances — sometimes a look of pure infatuation with jade when she talks about him that jamil had not seen before when it came to him (yuusha has, jamil just never NOTICED).

--and also that jade himself finds himself no longer thinking of it as a game to mess with them. he realized he might be falling for the prefect too.

morays are cowards at heart. they don't take a shot unless the shot's guaranteed to be a winner (<- from floyd's quote in beanfest). and with this clear shot (the kiss COUGH), it's safe to say that the prefect got successfully captured by jade because of the hesitance of a certain snake.

yuusha is not waiting for him. she may have stronger feelings for jamil but if someone else she's interested in is actively pursuing her, why not turn to that other one instead. at least they tried first.

also something something, this is where jamil should be where he uses his character development from book 5 onward of pursuing what he wants into practice.

(yuusha is part of the problem here too i know <3) (it's not like she's trying either)

disclaimer that dynamic/lore is always subject to change but these are the thoughts for now ;;;

i think i did something evil
