#dorm rambles 🍬

[dulcisregnumdorm]

Reflecting

I have come to realize that over the course of the past 3 years I have redesigned this dorm over and over again. From the logo to the uniforms and characters. At first I felt bad for doing this, all I wanted to do was improve as much as I could with a concept like a fandorm. But as I looked back on my artwork from the past 3 years (HOW HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG ALREADY?!) I look at each year in a different light.

2022 Dulcisregnum (or what I now call smores dulcisregnum) was my first attempt at creating a fandorm. At the time I thought it had to be by the book and in line with the villian it was twisted on to a T. But I wanted to change it, while it was good and I was very proud of it for my artistic level at the time, it did not look like a dorm inspired by king candy.

Designing 2023 Dulcisregnum was different but getting more creative and trying something different made me happy, especially with character design. Even though my ocs strayed away from the designs of the characters that they were twisted from it felt nice to see them become more original. I was going to leave the dorm as is until, firealpaca created new brushes and my art style changed drastically (well lineart wise).

In 2024 I never expected to push myself as hard as I did to remake characters new designs and decently detailed bios but without the friends, I have made in the past year I don't think that I would have actually done it. This version of the dorm is the version I have grown VERY attached to despite the weird lore and backstories I have created for these characters and I don't want to let them go. But as the new year arrived I feet the strong urge again to redesign. I know what I am capable of and I want to harness it, SO I plan to take a page out of Snow/Racing Miku's book and redesign the dorm again. The character backstories (from 2024 continuing forward) will stay the same!

I know this may seem weird but its something I want to do, like a creative time capsule of sorts. For 2025 the visual theme of the dorm is going to shift towards Vanellope as her own determination and ambition is something I think we need in this coming year.

I'm gonna stop yapping now ::3

To Toni, Richie and Vincent:

Are the current Rat, Cat and Puppeteer costumes the original designs or were they completely changed from the original concept? (I guess this question could apply to Vinnie too.)

Oh, my! This is a VERY good question.

The actors that you sent this in for are currently bickering with each other backstage. I can hear all three of their voices through the thin walls as I type this. I've sent Miss Komi over to intervene and try to pacify the situation. So, I will be the one answering this question. I hope you do not mind! As one of the co-founders of the Theater, I believe I will give you an answer that will satisfy you.

Fifteen or so years ago, I met Vincent in college. We shared a dorm together, and immediately hit it off! We'd stay up late into the night, sharing our dreams and discussing our plans for the future. He's a... very imaginative man, I'll say! 😊

There was a project he had to do for one of his classes. I can't remember all of the details at the moment, however, I do recall the assignment had to do with crafting one's very own puppet. Vincent came rushing into our room that day, rambling on and on about what his professor said. He had been writing notes to himself during the lecture, putting his thoughts onto the paper as soon as they had popped into his head. Vincent shared these notes with me, looking at me the whole time, making sure he had my full attention. He did.

For the rest of the night, he kept bouncing his ideas off of himself. I just listened the entire time, working on my own things. He was mainly talking to himself, not to me. Vincent doesn't really have "conversations" with people, you see. He talks so much that the other person doesn’t even need to engage directly, they just need to look and listen.

He was drawing out these designs, while simultaneously writing a short script. Yes, a script. He was going to perform for his presentation. Vincent spent weeks working on that thing, that puppet. He put so much of himself into this wooden creation, that after Vincent had gotten his grade, it didn't feel weird that he decided to keep Vinnie around.

The Vinnie you see him with now is that very same Vinnie.

The same cannot be said for the "Puppeteer" costume. Originally the Puppeteer wore a mask. I believe Vincent said his inspiration came from two figures from Greek Mythology; the Muses Melpomene and Thalia. "Tragedy" and "Comedy." Though, as you all know from pictures, he has chosen to switch to makeup instead. On occasion, he will wear the mask. Only on bad days.

Now, as for the costumes for the Rat and Cat characters... that story is less exciting. It was about seven years ago. Vincent and I were putting together our plans for the Theater. Scouting for actors, hiring set designers, all of that. He had sketched out some designs for the Rat and the Cat, as he had done for Vinnie long ago. Unfortunately, Vincent was too busy to make the costumes himself. So, I had asked then-wife if she'd make protype costumes for our two stars, using the sketches that Vincent had provided.

Then after the divorce, I had enough funds to get them replaced with... better ones. But then they got lost... and we had to go back to the old ones. The ones you see now. They're not the best, you'll notice. Miss Komi is always having to fix them up. Their tails just won't stay on, you see.

Vincent designed all of the characters in the Theater, except for the costume that the Pianist wears. My good friend sticks with his original ideas and builds off of them as time goes on. Vinnie's character has changed over time... gotten more "fleshed out." It excites to see where we will go in the future! 😊

Yours truly, G.E 🍬

Ah! It sounds like the argument is over. I'll go check on everyone... 😊

Additionally, I wanted to thank both the op’s for both Skytober & Hakkitober!! I can’t thank you both enough for creating these fun challenges for everyone to do! As well as to thank you to everyone else that joined and created their own works for each day!! Everyone’s artworks and fics were all amazing! Y’all really inspired and motivated me during the drawing month as well as contributing my growth as an artist and freed me (even just for a moment) from writers block! 🫶🫶

Sharing the same dorm room with Mika and Ritsu

Note: Someone requested for more so here it is. I lost that request so I'm sry but enjoy🍬. Lowkey think my Tumblr is broken.

Mika Kagehira

• You can see him sewing most of the time.🪡

• There are times when you have to remind him to sleep or eat.

• He is probably the one who teaches you how to sew.

• He would often rambles about his oshi-san to you with a bright smile(I love him so much🥹).

• You can hear noises from him that tells you what he is feeling rn. So if he's frustrated you might hear angry noises.

• You're the one that cooks for both Ritsu and Mika since Mika is usually busy and Ritsu is just unreliable lmao.

• Mika would bring up the idea of watching a movie together. You guys probably cuddled together while watching the horror movie that Mika choose.

• You might see shu sometimes while he is checking up on mika.

• Shu is happy to see people taking care of Mika🍬.

• You and Ritsu bought him 5 packs of candies. He be looking at it like(⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠) and couldn't stop making happy noises. "Nghn...negh!"

• Shu scolded you for that while Mika is munching at the back:3.

• He would offer to make your costume if you're an idol.

• He's soo sweet to you so naturally you gain a soft spot for him, always trying to make him happy😊.

• Even went out of your way to ask Arashi what Mika like in order to make him smile.

• Arashi thinks it's adorable and doesn't mind helping you as she herself also wants to see Mika happy.(such a good friend)

Ritsu sakuma

• he really be sleeping 24/7🛌

• Kinda acts like a cat but you don't mind since you probably like cats😺.

• he relies on you quite a lot as I said Mika is usually busy so you might not see him in the dormroom until he finishes work.

• Likes to braid your hair regardless of the lengths.

• Would sometimes nap on your lap cuz he is a cutie.

• There are times when you would get lazy too, those time Ritsu would spoil you like how you spoil him🥺.

• Rei would sometimes visit you to offer his thanks on taking care and getting close to his little brother.

• You can see his unit mates in your front door carrying a sleeping ritsu but acts like nothing is wrong since it happen way too often lol.

• You might wake up to the sound of unlocking door because of Mao.

• Mao would sometimes ask you to help wake up Ritsu when he isn't able to.

• When Ritsu finds you sleeping on the couch he would cuddle up with you and fall asleep. :3

• You and Mika would ask him to teach you how to bake. Surprisingly he is a good cook despite he's sleepiness.🧁

• He once asked you to watch him play the piano. Even tho you're lazy, you don't really have a choice when he made those eyes.

• Likes huges and is touchy not only to you but to Mika as well😊.

So,,, I never thought I'd be contributing to John's suffering,,, but uh

John getting really insecure about his friendship with the group as a whole ( in his head he feels isolated at times and feels like they don't need him) and also the individual people (like he feels like they're just putting up with him or that they don't feel comfortable around him) and like,,, idk them, eventually noticing and like reassuring him and picking him up. I'd imagine this is finally when he works thru his history with Arlo and blyke. Like, they finally have a talk.

Maybe a lil bit of the group finally understanding his trauma responses bc they get him to open up and then collectively deciding that the next time keon comes into any one of their lines of sight, he's fuckin dead.

- Boba anon 🧋

😱😱!!! You’ve betrayed your boy!!!! But to be fair, this is probs the sweetest John suffering I’ve gotten in my inbox lol At least he gets some happiness with this one. Also I mentioned the Trauma Crash Course (for convenience if you wanna click back ;D) bc I think he absolutely would do that to talk about his trauma. He doesn’t strike me as the type of person that likes things to be made into a big deal (especially not stuff dealing with him and emotions)🍿🥤🍭🍬🍫🧋

*It’s been a day or two since he put on the slideshow for the Dumbass Trio

*And the main cast are all hanging together (either at Blyke + John’s dorm or at Arlo’s place)

*It’s peaceful while everyone’s kinda doing their own thing

*And Blyke’s just lost in thought bc he has no clue who the red haired guy was in John’s slideshow

*He wants to ask John, bc he wants to get to know John better and he wants to help his friend out with his repressed trauma if John will let him

*But he also doesn’t know if John wants Sera and Arlo to know

*And he also doesn’t want John to feel pressured to talk about anything

*So he’s just stuck in thought, trying to figure out what would be the best thing to do

*And John glances over at him and sees his face twisted up in thought

*”Hey look at that. Blyke’s trying to think for the first time in his life!” -John

*Blyke glares at him and grabs a throw pillow and chucks it at John

*John catches it and throws it back at Blyke

*Arlo steps in and grabs it before it gets to Blyke bc he knows the two of them will just keep throwing it back and forth until they break something or it escalates

*”C’mon. Share with the class. What was your first thought?” -John

*Blyke huffs and pulls out his phone and the main cast watches as he types out this super long message

*”What are you writing, War and Peace??” -Isen *Blyke finally finishes the text and hits send and John’s phone goes off. *”The fuck is wrong with you? Why couldn’t you just talk??” -John

*So John checks his phone and he sees the massive block of text (it’s mainly Blyke rambling and saying how John doesn’t have to tell him about “the dude with the red hair” and how he didn’t know if Sera + Arlo knew about stuff or if John would even want to talk about it)

*John finally finishes reading and he gives Blyke a bit of a wtf look

*And Blyke panicks and he tries to silently convey his apology

*John takes a deep breath and puts his phone down

*”I don’t have a slideshow set up bc someone *sends a pointed look at a still panicking Blyke* put me on the spot. But let’s get this over with” -John *So John starts out telling them only the briefest explanation of what happened with Keon

*But the more he talks, the more he finds himself going into more detail as he talks

*and he just ends up pouring out everything to them without even realizing he’s doing so

*And the more he talks, the more everything makes sense and clicks together

*All of his weird habits are less weird now

*He finishes talking and he just sees them all looking at him and he starts to get uncomfortable bc he just practically trauma dumped on all of them

*And then he notices the anger behind all of his friend’s eyes

*Especially the Dumbass Trio

*Like Sera and Arlo are better at hiding it

*But Dumbass Trio look like they’re bloodthirsty

*This is the angriest John’s ever seen any of them

*Sera is the first to gain composure, since she kinda had an idea of what happened, just not the full story

*She gets to work on comforting John and making sure he’s okay after that

*And then Blyke’s the next to kind of compose himself

*He calms down enough to be there for John

*Arlo processes and while he’s still pissed, he knows there’s nothing he can do now *John notices the dark looks Remi and Isen have on their faces and John gets worried

*Like it’s not the people that he thought would be the angriest

*He assumed that Sera would be and then maybe Blyke bc Blyke’s the one who asked

*”Hey, uh, are you guys okay?” -John

*Isen takes a deep breath and meets John’s gaze, trying to calm himself bc he knows that while it’s okay that he’s pissed but he also knows that John needs him

*John’s kinda shocked at how angry Isen looks. Like in the majority of the time that he’s know Isen, Isen’s more of a chill dude so seeing him this angry is shocking

*After sharing a look with John, Isen starts to calm down and then it just leaves Remi

*She’s staring at the ground with her fists clenched tightly and she tries to take deep breaths

*She knows it’s not about her and she knows she needs to be there for John but she can’t push down the anger even though she’s trying so hard

*John can tell she’s trying. It’s super obvious that she’s trying to calm herself

*”Remi?” -John

*”You’re going to have to give me his full name and picture.”-Remi

*”What?” -John

*”Just send it to the group chat.” -Sera

*And Remi just stands up, she still looks pissed, and she walks over and gives John a super strong bear hug

*And the entire main cast (even Arlo) gives John a big group hug

*John’s just completely shocked bc this is not the outcome he expected at all

u guys are cute !! so m back again hi :)

🍬 and 💤 this time for atsushi once again!!

bunbun gif free of charge as well ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

(Sweet bun buns!? 🥺🥰🥺💖🥺💖 that is me towards mi Tigre, I love smothering him with face kisses UwU)

“Hello again! A pleasure to have you come by again, @frigatea ! Congratulations, you have made Dany combust under bashful validation, she was a rambling mess when reading the asks 🥰 She and I are very grateful for this 💖😃, we hope you enjoy the answers we give!” Atsushi chuckled warmly and rubs the back of his neck, “Let’s jump right in, shall we?”

A tiny warning for some slight suggestive things! ^////^’

🍬 where is your favorite place to kiss S/I? Does S/I like it when you kiss them there?

👀✨ Oh? 😳💞

Ah ha, my favorite places to kiss Dany? Ó//w//Ó

Definitely the little area between her neck and shoulder, as well the side of her neck from behind u///////u 🌸😳

I do it in spontaneous surprise sometimes when she knows I’m behind her or beside her. She tends to bristle and make the cutest squeak of surprise when I do~ She is a blushing mess and sometimes can’t look at me from embarrassment early-on in our relationship; now she jabs at my chest sometimes when I try to calm her down after; suppressing my own laugh and foolish smile at her cute reaction, especially if we are in the Agency. I do my best not to do it around the others, knowing how nervous and bashful Dany gets with PDA and how Dazai-san can get with teasing ''>>…

Her ability’s tail sometimes manifests in a bristle of surprise 🐺 my own tiger tail swishes from excitement and content~

Sometimes I do it in comfort too or… sweet affection😳, especially when I’m cuddling her in my arms from behind once we are in private. She definitely enjoys it then and gives me soft validation when I do in return 💞💞 It is definitely… a sensitive spot for her which is why surprise kisses catch her off guard. But lingering ones definitely get more of a rise out of her ~ leads to… well fun times~ ✨ (´▽`ʃ♡ƪ)

Other than that, I love just leaning down to kiss her in that spot; as well as her forehead and soft cheeks UwU. My darling, she’s so cute and adorable 💞

💤 Does S/I like to sleep with you? If so, what's their favorite sleeping position when with you?

Of course she does! We definitely started sharing a bed when we moved in together in the Agency dorms, and especially now since we moved into our new home together 😊

You can see more about it in this ask.

But overall, I think Dany’s favorite sleeping position is when I take my turn at spooning her. She is a petite little lass and enjoys the warm comfort and protective feeling of me holding her close. She practically curls into a little ball, normally how she sleeps anyway 💖.

Sometimes she nuzzles into my chest and neck, but she also favors just resting on top of me too sometimes, as long as I’m comfortable (which is silly to think otherwise~ she fits perfectly in my arms u///w///u). Rubbing her back gently and trailing my hands under her shirt to trace old scars that are there; that's the most comforting for her.

We definitely switch positions occasionally, especially depending on how the other feels from the day. 🥰 But these are her favorites. Mine is definitely when she’s resting on me 💖(╯▽╰ )

Thank you again for the asks! I’m having a fun time answering these! It makes my heart race to tell others on how Danielle makes me feel and how we go about our relationship 💖🥰 Have an amazing rest of your day! — Atsushi 🐯🌙

new logo coming soon

[dulcisregnumdorm]

One of the funniest things I think I accidentally wrote into Vincent was making a part of his character related into the internet but not in the way Vanellope (the character they are twisted from) likes the internet.

It's no surprise that Wreck it Ralph 2 was only made to cash in on early 2010's nostalgia more than anything else but I never expected the movie to character assassinate Vanellope the way they did. However said character assignation was able to inspire me to give Vincent flaws that would work in the world of twisted wonderland, (also the whole internet theme but I mentioned that already).

It would be cool to see those two interact especially due to how different the internet they know is from each other. With Vanellope basically knowing the cold and corporate web3 with basically ads and shameless promotion and Meanwhile Vincent would be more affiliated with the early Y2K and Fruitger Aero style internet. I have no idea what I'm saying anymore at this point I'm word vomiting.

[dulcisregnumdorm]

I can't see any asks in my twst side blog so how about we do trick or treat on this blog here :3

[dulcisregnumdorm]

Only in Dulcisregnum are the students making it their goal to risk permanent paralysis or die trying

[dulcisregnumdorm]

Dulcisregnum smells like Dairy Queen near the dorms and burnt sugar near the tracks

[dulcisregnumdorm]

Me: I think I am going to redesign my ocs again.

Brain: WHY JUST WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST REDESIGN A FEW MONTHS AGO?!

Me: Yeah but they need to look more like insects.

Brain: HOW MUCH MORE INSECTOID CAN THEY GET, ALSO TODAY IS ONE OF YOUR OCS BIRTHDAY. WHEN IS THE FANART COMING?

Me: Imma doodle Terrence later.

Brain: At this point it would be a miracle if you ever start a draft for the dorm chapter.

[dulcisregnumdorm]

Thinking of writing about my cy-being species (the humanoid cy-bugs I decided t create that now are my dulcisregnum ocs).

I have bug brainrot and need to spill my guts about intricate (headcannon) lore.

[dulcisregnumdorm]

To that one ask about my cy-bug fan species, im getting to it

[dulcisregnumdorm]

I sadly have nothing planned for this season but with the influx of new asks and content it motivates me to make new plans for next year :3 🎄🍬

[dulcisregnumdorm]

Going off on the lore of the Twst Manga I have to make a Yuusona for the dulcisregnum chapter (whenever I write it), I am going to make the Yuu 80's arcade meets alien vaporwave themed.
