Lucious Route Chapter 3 (1-5)

Last time on the Lucious route, Liz ends up agreeing to come into the Labyrinth to give Lucious food because the magic in the Labyrinth is on the fritz and Zeus can’t do it because he’s been suckered into the worst thing that will ever happen in this route: a family get-together.

So Amelia meets Liz in the kitchen while she’s cooking food for Lucious.

I’m really glad no one in the writer’s room knew about a/b/o while writing this..

On her way to the Labyrinth, Liz runs into Alfonse and Caesar.

Since Zeus and Hiro are going home together and Alfonse and Caesar are spending time in the town together, this holiday weekend said gay rights.

Are we finally getting the explanation at to how you’re still alive? I’m actually more excited for this than the rest of the plot, so naturally, I don’t get The Fucking Explanation. But Alfonse and Caesar decide to tag along to visit Lucious so. Maybe soon.

They meet in the Illusion Station, and Lucious throws a tantrum instead of explaining how he broke Caesar’s goddamn curse-

Just... how did he do it without a fucking kiss of true love?? The curse to me seemed very specific about it! Who provided the kiss of true love in this version of the timeline? Was it Alfonse??? Who fucking gave it??

So they all eat the food, and Lucious gets a chance to show off more of his... wonderful personality /s.

Liz gets up and discovers that an invisible wall popped up around them, while Lucious is unfazed, but states that it’s never happened in the castle before.

LUCIOUS BUDDY- 🤣

[gorvamp]

I love Wizardess Heart :) <- guy who spent at least 20 minutes trying to figure out if something stated off-handedly in lucious' route is actually canon or if the writers just mixed up their information

[mcl-mia]

” @shummashum​: I'm not sure but Hiro seems to have some kind of self loathing tendency? 😮”

//you know what, let’s talk about this! i’m back on a hiro loving crusade and i’m not about to stop here!

to say that he has a self loathing tendency isn’t exactly untrue, but i believe it’s a little off the mark. i wouldn’t say it’s loathing, but more of a lack of self-confidence. 

now, there are things that hiro is certainly confident in: his skills as a swordsman, and that he’s the only one who can protect zeus (he says the latter in this same spin off, btw). you could also say that he’s very confident in his ability to love and care about what he DOES love and care about, if that makes sense. 

now, in order to get to the core of where all this lack of self-confidence comes from, we have to think about how hiro grew up: as a retainer in the brundle household with a strict father who always reminded hiro of his status as a retainer. now, while is has been said that zeus and hiro were “raised like brothers”, hiro openly states in his route that while that is true (because of zeus and zeus’ father’s attitude towards hiro), he was raised to protect zeus. pack that in with the huge amount of magical power that zeus possesses, plus the fact that zeus is popular and canonically very attractive, and you have a big ‘ol recipe for an inferiority complex, even if hiro doesn’t fully realize it. there’s a lot that we can gather just by how zeus and hiro talk about each other, and it’s one of the things that i think solmare does almost consistently well. there’s always a reserved tone that hiro has when he talks about their relationship, but i think that’s another post entirely. one of these days i’ll talk more about it. one of these days, BUT I DIGRESS.

as a result of all that, hiro genuinely doesn’t think that he is an equal to those around him. this is prominent in his birthday spin-off (above), his own route, and even in the mr. gedonelune 2 event story. in his happy end, he says that he “was happy just being zeus’ assisstant, but [he] was left out of the loop when it came to prefect stuff.” while that inspired him to want to become a prefect himself, he initially throws in the towel during his route because he takes the defeatist mindset and thinks that his dream is impossible (this is obviously solved in his happy end where he does end up being a prefect). however, it’s that lack of confidence in himself that leads to this sort of depressive spiral. not only that, but it’s apparent in the aforementioned mr. gedonelune 2 story that he doesn’t take praise very well, and it easily embarrasses him. when liz is praising his looks and how competent he actually is, hiro asks her to stop and even covers her mouth at some point out of embarrassment, stating that “[liz] is the only person who thinks all that”. liz of course thinks he’s just being modest, but i think there’s a lot of other context clues through this and his own route that leads me to believe that he might have not been him being modest. it’s also good to note that hiro does get embarrassed when zeus straight up tells him that they are equals, pretty much like hiro has never heard it before or even considered it before zeus said it out loud for hiro to hear.

hiro does have a lot of negative tendencies towards himself, that much is apparent. i don’t think it stems from him hating himself, but more so thinking that he’s not an equal or on the same level as the others. he’s not good with his emotions in the first place, which we see in his route and this spin-off as well [side note: i love the sincerity of “i don’t know how to respond to this”. it’s very in-character for him given everything else we see of him and it’s so genuine and good and AUUUGGHHHHHH--]. the way he reacts so subtly to a lot of things as if taking a back seat, how he can be awkward when put on the spot (this is shown also in his happy end when he is asked for a speech after passing his prefect trials), and how he reacts to praise are subtle details, but very strong indicators about what sets hiro apart from the other “cool silent type” characters. there’s also been a few times where hiro has had “gap moe” moments (that others have noticed as well) that also sets him apart in this way as well, like when he becomes ecstatic upon learning he passed his prefect trials. it’s cute imo. 

hiro is... complicated. and i like that. 

 tl;dr i don’t think hiro hates himself, i just don’t think he was raised to believe that he has worth outside of being zeus’ vassal, and it’s hard for him to think otherwise until it’s spelled out for him.

//hey remember when solmare gave hiro literally one of the best spin-offs in all of wizardess heart? and how it was super insightful to how hiro actually thinks and feels? and how it was so genuinely sweet and emotional and it's all in a fucking SPIN-OFF of all things?? i'm never allowed to forget.

My crazy batshit Tekken 8 guest character prediction

Gentlemen, ladies, non binary folks, and all others… I gather you here today to tell you something that I have been thinking long and hard about.

As you may know, Tekken 8 is out. And as you may know, there is planned dlc. And, like in Tekken 7, Tekken 8’s dlc will have dlc characters.

We have no idea who he or she will be, some say I will be from another fighting game, like Akira from VF or Terry from fatal fury… some say it will be from a popular tv show or movie, such as young Sheldon, or breaking bad… others even say I could be tifa from final fantasy. All these theories, these outcomes, could probibly happen.

But today, I give you something insane, the most chaotic rout Tekken could go when it comes to guest stars. The most batshit insane crossover ever.

Sonic the Hedgehog will be in Tekken 8.

I’m not fucking joking, if you REALLY think about it, and use all of your brain cells, it’s so conceptually STUPID, it could ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

Case in point:

1. IM RIGHT YOUR WRONG- I-I-mean, sonic is really popular right now

Like, really REALLY popular right now, practically in a renaissance right now? With the recent release of sonic frontiers and sonic superstars, the HUGE popularity of idw, and like, the entirety of sonic prime, it just makes sense, sega right now is just like “oh my god, they’re just gunna buy ANYTHING ARE THEY?!??”

And so, ya know what sega sees when sonic is in Tekken? Dollar signs. This reveal will probibly make the fandom CRAZY and profits would go OVER THE ROOF at sega HQ.

“Erm but actually…” you may say “namco says that all the dlc characters are going to have a special character episode in the story, meaning that sonic wouldn’t make sense lore wise, it would be batshit crazy!! uhhhhhhhhh”

Case in point:

2. Tekken is already batshit crazy

Akuma from street fighter is canon to the lore of Tekken. HE IS IN THE STORY MODE OF TEKKEN 7!!! PLUS, this is a fighting game with

1. A boxing kangaroo

2. A bear

3. A space ninja

4. Negan from the WALKING DEAD

5. GEESE FROM FATAL FURY

6. NOCTIS LUCIOUS CAILUM FROM FINAL FUCKING FANTASY

So of COURSE they’re gunna find a way to put sonic in Tekken lore, of course they’re going to do that, AKUMA WAS IN TEKKEN 7 FOR FRICKS SAKE

AAAAAA

Case in point

3. It will boost Tekken’s popularity and bring a whole new audience to the game

I tell you, A LOT of people are going to freak out if he gets in the game, Twitter would shit down for a week, the entire Tekken yt community will have THOUSANDS of videos about sonic, the sonic fandom would go into a chaotic frenzy, everything would go crazy, because SONIC THE BLUE FASTEST HEDGEHOG WILL BE IN TEKKEN FUCKING 8!!!!!

In conclusion, Sonic will be in Tekken 8, I’m right your wrong and no I am not ok thank you for asking. :3

Klaus Goldstein Ch1 (11~15)

ooh… finally the dance time came

Remb asked Liz who she would like as her partner.

Shall we dance?

for your information, there's no refuse option you said that she could always ask if she had any trouble! don't tell me you're trying to retract what you said

He asked her why she chose him, and she responded that it was because everyone knew he was the best dancer around here.

so he's good at dancing? like a dance machine? okay! my next drawing theme is Klaus doing Just Dance or Pump It Up

and another pointing out again sure Klaus, let's get you to bed…

As the music started, the two clasped hands and took the first steps after politely bowing to each other.

Al taught her… then really, she was able to ask him since he's her practice opponent, wouldn't it have been better to ask him? his moves will be familiar, after all

but! this is Klaus' route so she's supposed to choose him as her partner

I think so too aren't you busy with with Ministry work

why do you talk like that she cared about you and is this what she got back oi,,,

umm no just do your work Ministry work is more important than dance classes which anyone with a certain level of skill can teach…

uh, whatever. anyway, it seems like there is something between the two

whut

something splendiferous just happened

erm isn't he being too sincere?! oi calm down go easy on her she's a newbie

erm,,,,,,, I think he's out of his mind just because seeing a newbie

btw I already felt this during Zeus' route but CG quality has improved, especially in terms of coloring and shadowing I like this new art style!

spare her ! ! this guy is insane

well but now I get it, he's highly skilled in dancing is dancing one of the virtues of a member of a prestigious family or what…

yeah yeah I already knew you had no heart for newbies Al over there taught her at her level, moreover he treated her very kindly even though she was a newbie though,,,,,,

A moment later, she spotted Zeus pushing his way toward her through the crowd.

oh.. he can dance? I can't believe he's willing to do such a classy and authoritative act but I think she needs a break because she was beaten the shit out of Klaus?

he hasn't changed at all! I've always thought it's good that things don't change but… you said you would change little by little in your happy ending! I trusted you! what is this he hasn't grown at all!

and they started scratching each other again now it just feels like background music

and here comes other potential opponents guess a situation is being created where she has to dance with everyone except Hiro oi Hiro you won't dance right? I trust you?

seems like he doesn't give a shit in any of this right now though that face that of an office worker tired of overtime and bullshit

huh totally unexpected

and she mentioned Lucious, huh

She recalled what happened with Luci and made up her mind that one day she would find a way to get him out of the labyrinth.

weelll meaningful results might come out during his own route, and this "making a plan to escape the labyrinth" will continue throughout S6 to S7 then, apart from that plan, there must be an incident that runs through S6… the one who manipulate Minotaur? or maybe it has something to do with what Remb wants to ask for this time?

Anyway, the viewpoint moved to Luci.

don't worry! you'll escape there someday! …maybe.

Then suddenly, a dark figure in the distance caught his attention.

it's that that… of the killer doll vibe that came out after Zeus failed to summon in his route come to think of it, it ran away while Liz was interrogating whether it was the real Taffy… but how did it get into the labyrinth huh

-Ch1 End-

Lucious Route Chapter 4 (6-10)

Last time on the Lucious route, Liz and Lucious rolled a collective 6 on their stealth check, but Hugo rolled a natural 1 so he didn’t notice them following him, Hugo does a lot of expository monologues for literally no one other than the audience, Remy shows up in the form of Taffy, and I finally snap due to the insanity of Lucious’s outfit. Not necessarily in that order.

So Lucious calls Liz “too nice” and tells her to go back to Alfonse and Caesar because what is a Wizardess Heart route without a man patronizing Liz. Liz refuses because fuck you Lucious.

My points still stands.

So then Hugo finally notices these really unstealthy people. He calls Liz the Goddess of Time and states that his job is to protect her and free Lucious, but not today. He warns them against getting in his way if they want to get what they want. Or maybe that was only directed at Lucious, the wording wasn’t super clear.

Lucious briefly morphs into Peter Griffin, and the disembodied voice of Hugo informs them that their free trial of the pocket of time they’re in is about to expire.

So Liz and Lucious escape the collapsing time dimension and Liz recounts what she knows about Hugo, which is essentially just his cameos in the other routes, and can’t pin down his motivations, which I guess means she hasn’t been listening to his monologues because he literally already spelled out his motivations last week.

Lucious tells Liz he’s looking forward to being free and asks her to be his guide to the new world, and

I cannot believe the dichotomy of these two options. I literally can’t believe this is a choice. Just fuckin “find someone else.” What even happens if you say that???

This is what happens if you pick the right option, but if you pick the “find someone else” option Liz herself points out that she may not be the best option in an objective way, not a self-deprecating way, so ironically “find someone else” is the LESS caustic option.

And then Liz is somewhat turned on by Lucious just fucking shouting about Hugo at the air. Liz realizes they’re still Holding Hands but then serendipitously sees Claudia’s portrait in the background.

[astralmarionette]

THIUGHTS ON THE GUILD GO! I loved them sm they were my fav faction and all the characters make me deeply insane I am WAITING for them to come back they have to asagiri set up too many plot points not to bring them back. Sigh. my favs r lucy n poe n mitchell n hawthorne n steinbeck but I like all of them

Omg omg okay i LOVE thr Guild I spent like 30 minutes last night trying to predict the different Guild members because Autism. (I FUCKING LOOKED UP MARk TWAIN BC I WAS LIKE U CANT HAVE AMRRICAN AUTHORS AN NOT HAVE MARKY YKW??? LIKE HES LItERALLY BROUGHT UP IN EVERY SINGLE LIT CLASS IN AMERICA BRO and nothing came up OU IM SO MAD)

BTW, I tend to use a first name basis with authors btw theyre actually all my best friends i know them on a deeper level (my mom said that i need to seek help today, this is what happens when all yr friendships are superficial as a kid methinks)

anyways. here are my thoughts:

Mr Francy Pants (Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald): i wasn't too opinionated on him til I learned his ability (like i said we need to stop letting white ppl get rich bro...) and then i was like i need this guy dead and then i learned his motive and i was like oh my god hes literally just a guy he wants nothing but to mAKE HIS WIFE HAPPY OUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH so he slays actaully i hope hes alive :((

Louisa May Alcott: LOMLLLLLLLL i love little women so im extremely bias towards her but wtv when Francis was going on his lil rant abt owning her and everything i was like woah now careful abt how you speak to my girl

Nathaniel: Lord....forgive me...... HES SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FINE OH my GODDDD Nathaniel was made for the girlies with complicated relationships with religion i fear (ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME )

Margaret: love me a woman who dresses like that okay but im fairly certain the actual woman was racist soooo kinda mixed feelings?? but the character is amazing and perfect (ignoring the restoring her family's honor.........) and i actually loved her accent lol it was southern enough to be southern but not too southern to be fake lol southern accents actaully arent always there for my area lol they come and go and are stronger when angry/ come out stronger on certain words or phrases loll

Lucy: OUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH seeing that she got caught PAINED ME LIKE NOOOO ATSU WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO GO AND SAVE HER BUT NOW I FEAR HES FORGOTTEN IN ALL THE EVERYTHING GOIONG ON OUGHHHHHHHHHH

Anne is SOOO Cutie Pie too btw and I love that one she looks like Anne of Green Gables (obvi) BUT ALSO Raggedy Anns!!!!!

Marky Mark: HES SO CUTE ACTUALLY ???? I love his "im just here for the fun of it" attitude that was rlly nice AND HUCK AND TOM ARE SOOOO CUTE and i love the fact that hes a gunsmith despite im pretty sure the book characters he brought to life and real life author being like these scrappy lil southern boys lolll i like that they didnt go the kenji route with him and have him be like a (read this in a southern accent btw) lil farmer boy with good intentions for everyone :D type character !!!!!! love him 10/10 scrunkly

John Steinbeck: his grape thing freaked me the fuck out the first time he did it i was so thoroughly gagged like...... hes cute but in term of design he and Francy look soo similar I got tired of these basic ass white men sorry TvT (looking at them made me feel like i was watching hetalia again LMAOOO) hes scrunkly poo too tho and i love his quirk (mha gagged with quirk im sooo sorry)

Lovecraft: He rlly puts the love in Lovecr....Im gonna stop there sorry :( that sounded jsut as bad in my head LMAO I LVOE HIM i love the fact that him turning into Kraken is just. smth he can do. not his quirk hes jsut like that. (okay actually he didnt write Kraken so idk what the fuck he turns into but he just like me fr) i love his absolute apathy to everything he rlly is sucha girl like he just wants to sleep fr !!!! he had empty eyes and long lucious hair and thats enough to make me love you so i literally DONT CARE bout NOTHIGN ELSE !!!! 10000/10 hes so fine omg....

Melville: hes actually so chill. i like him! he had honor and standards that he upheld himself and i heavy respect that! going down w yr ship is like the easiest way to gain my respect cuz that troupe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

AND LAST BUT ABSOLUTELY DEFINETELY NOT LEAST:

Edgar Allan Poe:

do I, Dorian Nico di Marionette (my legal Tumblr name), even need to say anything about how much I love this man. I'm not even just talking about the bsd character. I'm talking about the actual author too. He's literally so cool. Like so cool. He came, he lived, he fucked around and found out, and he died!!! He is literally everything I wish to be. Cool, Autistic, Mysterious, Silly. And now specifically the character: I love his need for praise bc ME tOO. I love that he had given himself ONE PURPOSE and that purpose was to beat Ranpo and give him the mystery of his life like yes girl devote your entire being and existence to that ONE (1) man !!!!!! (me) (we need help)

i love that he has a pet Raccoon esp since the general agreement is that he died of rabies like...... ( i personally think he was murdered but idk... ijust feel like someone didnt like him bc he accomplished alot and they probably couldn)

he and ranpos lil friendhsip warms my lil heart to like................... like i said in my tags they remind me of Hikaru and Kaoru in a way where their world was "us" and "not us" and like they are the only ones who can keep each other on each others toes and constantly getting better and giving the ultimate form of praise (theres nothing like getting praise from someone in your field of work, esp someone that you regard as "better than you") and thats so.......... (and if i say codependcy (I WILL PUSH CODEPENDCY ON EVERYTHING BRO I NEED TO SEEK HELP))

anyways these are my excessive thoughts i need help lol

[mcl-mia]

//another day, another route completed! this time we have nox, and amazingly, i don't think i have too many thoughts on this one, mostly because a lot of them cover... multiple bases. i'll try to explain that the best i can. blah blah blah, beware of spoilers.

okay, so i actually briefly started nox's route when it was first released, but i had to abandon it because... well, it was a bad idea to do that when i was so behind on routes in the first place, so it's not like i was going in 100% blind. this did not lead to a detrimental experience lol.

so.... nox. look. he's hot. i like his stupid little mullet and his very charming blue eyes, okay? he's hot and i'm not going to pretend that he isn't. it is still annoying to me though that you can REAAAAAALLLY tell that he was drawn by a different sprite artist. one of the best parts of the night class is that they ARE drawn by the same person, so it makes the cast look AND feel cohesive. not the biggest complaint, but it DOES bother me very slightly every time i look at nox when he's on screen with another character.

i've expressed this before, but nox's outfit as "nightmare" is... not great and knowing that it is COCO'S fault? absolutely hilarious. nox, i'm begging you to never take fashion advice from a cat again. i can fix you.

coming off that note, i know that there was budgeting issues for WH at this point in time (i believe nox's route came out around the time obey me got released, so... yikes), but i REALLY wished that they would have given nox a different pose or SOMETHING to hide that it was nox a little better. something like how the day class boys have different sprites for when they are holding their wands. i know that they basically stopped doing this after the night class boys (unless your name is alfonse), but.... sigh. come to think of it, i don't think even klaus had his front-facing sprites re-touched with the new ministry clothes. can't believe i didn't realize that until now.

i do also appreciate that they make sure to mention that nox's voice DOES change while he's in costume. i was wondering about that for the longest time lol.

speaking of chocolate cake, i am very glad that coco was a very minor character. coco is so one-note, which is disappointing because i think coco has a fantastic design. weird how that works out.

overall, the route itself is... fine. it's very day class-core, in which liz and nox get together very quickly. i mean, they TECHNICALLY get together only in the final chapters, but the quickness of both nox and rex falling in love with liz... goodness. y'all have known each other for like, 5 days. chill.

okay, i can't NOT talk about the love triangle. look, i'll be honest, it's so hard to sell a love triangle in an otome game. like, narratively, liz by the point in time rex's route begins, doesn't even reciprocate rex's feelings. it's funny to me in the moment knowing this, but it is a little annoying in practice. imo, if your love triangle is unable to become a reasonable threesome then don't write a love triangle. imo, nox and rex lack that kind of chemistry, so it's not the Good Shit. not to say that i don't think nox and rex shouldn't be hate-fucking each other (because they should, we love rivals to lovers here), it's just that they don't know how to fucking share and it would be way too distracting and nothing would happen. do you understand what i mean by this. i can't wait to get to gray's route so i can see liz turn the both of them down.

i will never tire of lucious being such a good friend.

genuinely, this puts a smile on my face. like, all of the night class boys do, but lucious being the first person to notice when liz falls in love is so important to me (ESPECIALLY BECAUSE AMELIA!!! IS STILL!!!!! BARELY HERE!!!!!!!!!). i love that liz has another person to talk about boys with. it's so delightful.

i do appreciate that nox has a good reason for being the phantom thief, but... come on, man. you're REALLY telling me that NOBODY is going to figure out that you're nightmare? let's just compile the evidence for a sec:

works in a magical tool shop (strike 1)

said magical tool shop SPECIALIZES in roger nigel's tools, which nox is an expert on. like, at some point you have to wonder where they're getting their stock, even if nox keeps the important ones hidden.

while nox does use his mother's maiden name, i'm pretty sure that anyone that looks into roger nigel in ANY capacity is going to figure out who roger's wife was. i would not be surprised if rex, who is literally a reference dept. worker, would have access to this info. this would expose his relationship to roger immediately.

the way nox does his calling cards for the cast is dangerous. rex picks up on the fact that nightmare had "convenient timing, like he was listening in on their conversations" (which... lol, he was). there is a point where he literally sends one while in the SAME ROOM as everyone else (especially rex, who 100% has him figured out). ballsy, but unnecessarily risky. i'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he doesn't do this with all of his calling cards.

if liz can look into nightmare's eyes and be able to tell it's nox, i'm sure the other people who spent many years with him would be able to do do the same.

like, come on man. be a better phantom thief LMAO.

actually, i want to talk about rex for a second. because i will admit, i don't find him nearly as attractive or interesting as nox, but i have to respect the HUGE big dick energy play he did in nox's happy ending.

LIKE. HOLY SHIT. ACTUALLY GREAT TWIST. i actually gasped lmao.

the 'our little brothers' comment does certainly solidify to me that rex already figured it out, though. i'm curious to see why he hasn't turned nox in yet... but i'm sure it has something to do with their rivalry. whatever it is, i think it's a selfish reason, since i doubt rex would know the real reason why nox is collecting the tools.

overall it's not a bad route, it's just not very remarkable. since there's no big bad threat looming over the narrative, there's less stakes. i get the feeling as though this mystery series (and possibly the next two, but i hear that clive's route has some particularly juicy dramatic bits so we'll see) is going to feel like a filler arc. not a bad thing by any means, it's very welcome, but just not as fulfilling as some of the other routes in the game. again, it's very day class-core, so it does evoke some nostalgic feelings in that way.

[daydream-cruisin]

If Zeus's art skills (that were mentioned in Lucious's route) are actually good, I think he and Aidma would have art dates where they trade canvases at set intervals.

I wanna try to show Aidma's style of painting through my efforts at some point, but if I don't her style is kinda flexible like mine, but her main is sharp stylized realism with song lyrics in the background and details.

Wizardess Heart: Thoughts about Lucious' love interest Vol. 1

I'm sure that if Lucious was a girl Zeus and him(her?) would've become an item even before Liz appeared on stage

Ngl they're made for each other. I mean Zeus is more loyal to Lucious than Liz even in his own route and the two have an amazing chemistry in all the other routes too

As a couple they'd bicker every day but never have a real serious fight, making a cute tsun pair (In fact they already are)

Hiro might be sighing whenever they argue over such a trivial matter saying "what a childish couple..." but at the same time he would be the good cupid(?) as well when they had a love fight or something

Actually Lucious already looks like a girl so he could always go out... Lucious: What the heck? Zeus: What the heck? I said nothing.

[lemon-sugarcoats-nothing]

CW; yandere things

Lucious, like Cinna, is what a tiktok called...a "dormant yandere". They're normal, until they're not.

They'll be functional like in a normal, happy relationship, until something triggers the yandere tendencies. I think this is a spectrum, Cinna and Lucious happen to be at the same place on that spectrum.

Some light (usually consensual) stalking during the relationship, going all....yandere when, and only when, something or someone poses as a threat to their relationship.

Then major stalking, torture, murder, and/or manipulation is on the table. Lucious is also the type to go the murder-suicide route but only in extreme circumstances.

Ah, love bat and changeling things.

-🐝, i would tag cinna but she's sleeping right now. You prolly know who she is anyways.

First Impressions of WH Characters (In My POV)

The reactions I had were based on their appearance, trailers, or their appearances in routes. Some of these may be goofy but just bare with me, thanks.

Elias - Link?! (From Legend of Zelda)

Yukiya - Ike?! (From Fire Emblem)

Luca - He doesn't look like any of the characters I recognize... He's just green and that's it.

Klaus - Like Santa claus?

Randy - He looks like a nice guy and also giving off zesty vibes.

Azusa - He's so pretty! Why is there so many "???" in his bio? welp

Joel - Wow a cute boy with different colored eyes!

Vincent - He looks... kind of old.

Leon - He looks strange and why is he white all over?

Nox - Didn't really care to know about him at first What is he wearing? Is he a prince or something?

Rex - Also didn't really care to know about him at first He was a night classer? Why does he kind of look good in that night class uniform though?
