Do you know who Yuu is canonically close to? Like who actually considers themselves to be friends or at least close with Yuu and willingly interacts with them. I'm sorry if this sounds rude because I know people have their own yuusonas and headcannons but I'm just curious.

In order to respond to this question, I will primarily be referring to the main story. Voice lines are not going to be considered because a lot of them are primarily aimed at the player and serve as fanservice, which does not accurately reflect the character's relationship with them in the main story canon. Events and vignettes do indicate character relationships, but are not technically "canon" to the main story. However, I will bring up examples from these, as while these may not fit in a coherent main story timeline, the lore presented in them is still very sound. Yuu appears to be canonically close with the first years, although their closest allies among this group are Ace, Deuce, and Grim. The first years are seen partying at the end of Terror is Trending as a group, stake out Mickey Mouse + hang out at Lilia's farewell party in book 7 together, band together to help Ortho determine a club to join in his College Gear vignette, and help Ortho research the concept of "evolution" for Fairy Gala: What If. Yuu is obviously very close with Ace and Deuce, seeing as they share the same homeroom, eat lunch together, and have gone through many dangerous situations with one another (several OB battles being the main one). They think of each other when one of them isn't included, either! For example, in White Rabbit Fest, Deuce invited Ace to join them (but Ace couldn't due to basketball practice). So Deuce decides to buy him a souvenir instead! Ace extends an invitation to Deuce to join him for Playful Land. And do I even need to bring up the end of book 4 where those two bozos take a long and convoluted trip from the Queendom of Roses to Sage's Island DURING WINTER BREAK to check up on Yuu after receiving a SOS text from them??? Or their tearful reunion at the end of book 6??

Grim is also a very important friendship for Yuu. They are, of course, the first person Yuu meets upon their arrival in Twisted Wonderland, as well as one of their roommates. He's almost always with them, for better or for worse. Yuu is shown to be hurt when Grim attacks them at the end of book 5 and worries for his wellbeing. In fact, the very first time Yuu blatantly acts against Crowley's orders (to stay put) is to rescue Grim in book 6 after he was captured by Ferrymen.

Some honorable/"up for debate" mentions go out to:

"The nice guys" (Rook, Kalim, Silver, etc.) - They're nice to everyone, but not particularly close with Yuu specifically; it should be noted that Kalim, Lilia, and Silver all have called Yuu their "friend" in dialogue. Trey and Riddle - I think it could be said that Yuu is closer to Heartslabyul than the other dorms (partly because two of their closest friends are from this dorm), but I don't know if they're actually "friends"? Yes, Yuu does walk around with Riddle and Trey in book 5 to check out the culture fair. Yes, Trey did send sweets over with Adeuce at the start of their training camp. But I never actually see Riddle and Trey going out of their way to casually hang out with Yuu or anything like that. They seem very... "business professional" with Yuu to me. Malleus - I might catch some heat for saying this, but I don't believe Malleus and Yuu are as close as people think they are or want them to be. Do they talk consistently throughout the main story? Sure, but the exchanges are kind of short and usually don't amount to them sharing a lot. Does Malleus help Yuu out? Absolutely, especially in books 3 and 5. It doesn't mean they're necessarily close; every character gets moments where they pitch in. The nickname thing serves as a necessary filler because Malleus refuses to give his real name; it arguably is not a sign of intimacy (especially given that Grim came up with the name, not Yuu). I can see a point being made in Malleus sending a holiday card for Yuu in book 4 and Yuu returning the gesture with a VDC/SDC pass in book 5 (though this could also be viewed as transactional or tit for tat). Think about the main story timeline to put this all into perspective. It's been roughly 6 months since the start of the school year and Malleus and Yuu have only really had brief direct interactions like MAYBE 4 or 5 times total. Yuu doesn’t go over to speak with Malleus upon their return from S.T.Y.X. HQ in book 6; they’re focused solely on their reunion with Adeuce and Grim. They don't have other means of communication (like each others' phone numbers, which Adeuce do have, as seen in book 4) and they don't ever hang out outside of these mandated interactions. Yuu doesn't even learn their name properly until book 5, which is in FEBRUARY. And, unlike Yuu's friendships with Adeuce and Grim, Malleus's friendship relies a lot on self-projection. Whereas it's clear that the friendship between Yuu and the idiot trio is mutual, it feels very one-sided with Malleus. Like, Malleus seems more invested in it than Yuu is. He's the one thinking of them on holiday break; Yuu doesn’t think of him on holiday break. They think of Malleus only in like early book 7 when Ortho asks if they know any fae, and it’s for a personal reason too (helping them find a way home).

Yuu's closeness with Malleus is left vaguely defined so the player can insert whatever their own feelings about him are into the scenario. They speak with him in a casual tone, yet they never go out of their way to actually invite him to functions or ask questions to learn more about him. Yuu doesn’f even seem to be that torn up about going back home and never seeing Malleus again. This is not the case with Adeuce and Grim; Yuu has dialogue options which imply they would miss their company. Yuu feels so… detached from Malleus; he at best feels like an amicable (?) acquaintance, but not a friend.

Something about the "I've always been different/alienated because of something I can't control" plotline being given to a straight, cis, white guy just. . . really annoys me

this isn't an ask question but do you have nsfw fic headcanons for your main ship/s?

jack is a bratty bottom. that’s a given truth i feel but it’s just in his nature to push people’s buttons (esp hendo’s because he can be so proper about things at times being a captain and all) so jack is always testing hendo’s boundaries for what he can get away with.

hendo doesn’t mind because he secretly loves it. loves seeing jack get needy and demanding when things don’t quite go his way, or when hendo doesn’t give in to him as quickly as he’d expected. he also loves to spoil jack rotten, but will never openly admit it, so jack always ends up with what he wants. he also can’t ever get over how lucky he is, that jack wants him and loves him in the same way, because jack is, well, jack (ridiculously handsome, like, seriously demigod levels of perfection on top of having a heart of gold), and hendo has always just been… himself. a little better than above average at things and caring just enough.

this one is tougher!! i’ve never really settled on who i prefer to write on top/bottom for these two so i think the answer must be that they take it in turns.

jordan grumbles about it when it’s his turn but loves it once john is actually inside of him. it’s something about the unfathomable closeness and intimacy that gets him gasping and moaning into his john’s mouth as he scratches his non-existent nails down his bf’s back. he’ll never admit that he loves it though.

jordan loves to be inside of john. it’s his favourite thing, like, ever (apart from maybe making an impossible save for england in a huge tournament), but he’d always have it this way if he could. john likes how much jordan loves it so he loves it too. he can take jordan much more easily than he could in the beginning, and jordan’s a lot better at thinking about john’s pleasure, making it so good for him that once is never enough.

love love love their dynamic. so addictive ugh, i could ramble forever.

ben’s always been the one with more experience. aaron hasn’t been with many guys but he’s eager, as he always is, to learn how to make it good for ben. he listens intently to his instructions when they’re in bed together. he’s addicted to the way ben’s voice hitches and gets breathy when he’s doing well, hitting that spot inside of him that makes ben’s eyes roll to the back of his head in ecstasy and clench tightly around him. the way ben’s fingers dig into the flesh of his back, telling him, ‘faster, harder, more’. aaron always dutifully listens.

ben’s more experienced and he loves to suck aaron’s dick. it makes him feel like he’s in control, seeing the flutter of aaron’s stomach and feeling his fingers clutch in the curls of his hair, but he’s slowly relinquished that control with aaron now. he lets himself go more and more every time, gasping louder, pressing his demands against aaron’s lips, letting him eat him out when he asks. he likes aaron a lot and grows more comfortable with him than anyone in the world.
