[loosesodamarble]

Hi once again!

If you'd like to answer one more from me what about Helia x Nozel and Josele x Morgen (since I'm reading about them lately and i'm quite compelled) 💕

Aaaaaaahhhhh! Nozelia! My first ship in the fandom (still holds a special place in my heart since it was my starting place… 💖).

Oh but also Morgsele (yes I answered about it yesterday but I wanna gush moooore~)!

Thank you for asking Lola, now let me answer!

Nozel x Helia

Okay, I'll be honest, Nozelia is 50/50 makes sense and doesn't make sense. Nozel is super proper and disciplined while Helia is untamed, silly, and airheaded. They're opposites in every way and yet they find their way to each other. The main means for them to connect is Helia taking the initiative to send Nozel letters updating him on Noelle's situation in the Black Bulls and it takes some time before Nozel starts replying.

But still, their relationship is so compelling. Helia has the freedom and optimism that Nozel lacks because of his position and history. Helia is open with her love of her family while Nozel is on the struggle bus for that, so he'd envy that in her. And Helia knows Nozel is unnecessarily cold but still wants to become someone disciplined like him since for so long, she's just been living without much thought. I'm also compelled by the contrast they have. Nozel is pale and Helia has lovely tanned skin. Nozel is silver and Helia is gold. He has a metal-based magic (and I always associate metal with civilization and technology, even in this case) and she has a plant-based magic (plants are the wild). Opposites attract, babyyyyyyyy~!

.....

Morgen x Josele

Now I've talked about this ship before but I'm gonna go for it again.

MAKES SENSE AND COMPELS ME!

Morgen is the squishy wizard while Josele is the martial warrior. But Morgen learned a spell to make weapons because of Josele and Josele does what she can to fight with her magic. I'm made super soft by the way the two of them love basically everything about each other. Josele always knew she was different from the noble girls that Morgen was surrounded by. But Morgen adores her rough hands, her strong arms, and her simple beauty. Josele loves Morgen's bedhead and the joy of brushing it out, his long finger with their gentle touch, and the dimples on his face when he smiles so wide. They bring out the best in each other. I am also compelled by how silly they can be, getting absorbed in their own little world. I'm just too soft for them!

[loosesodamarble]

I decided to join this.

i care them

[loosesodamarble]

Soleil: I know what I wanna do with my life!

Chalivas: Become a respectable member of society at last?

Aecor: Chal, Leil is respectable. Just not orderly.

Soleil: Hey, whose side are you on?

Fleuriana: Can we hear about Leil's life plans already? I wanna know if he's really cool like me or if he's gonna be a lame knight like Chal and Ace.

Nozel: Children, no insulting each other's life choices at the table please.

Helia: Soleil, please. Do tell.

Soleil: I'm gonna start a traveling circus!

Chalivas: Oh gods, he really has fallen for good.

Fleuriana: Bro, I know you're a bit of a class clown but really?

Helia: Fleur, dear. There's more to a circus than clowns and you know it.

Nozel: Son... I know entertainment and performance is your passion but... It's quite an investment.

Soleil: You'll back me up, right Dad? Oh, what if I named it after the family... Ah... Uh... Cirque Du Silva!

Chalivas: Don't you *dare* attach the Silva name to a circus of all things!

Soleil: Okay what about... Cirque Du Soleil! I think that has a nice ring.

Aecor: Eh, I don't think it'll catch on...

[loosesodamarble]

can you answer 1,2,5 and 50 for the ask game.

Another lovely anon who was in my inbox! 😭 I feel bad for leaving so many people waiting on answers for the couples' ask game. Thank you for the questions and thank you for waiting on answers!

Let's get right into them!

1) Of the ones you've written, which romantic relationship has developed the fastest? How fast is it?

Little fact about me, I had a cc x oc ship before Nacht x Josele x Morgen. That ship was Nozel Silva with my oc Helia Nymvire.

While not the fastest relationship to bloom, it's certainly faster than others. From the time of their first meeting to the establishment of their relationship, approximately 4 years pass. Helia and Nozel meet in passing two years before Asta and Noelle join the Bulls. But really, they only ever start talking after Noelle joins so in terms of going from "on talking terms" to "dating," it only takes them about 2 years to establish themselves.

2) Of the ones you've written, what's your slowest slowburn? How slow is it?

Ahhhhh hahahahahaaaaaaaa! OH BOY!

Nacht Faust x Josele Canty (a.k.a. Nacsele) by far! Their timeline is that they meet when they're around 7 years old and only get in a romantic relationship then they're both 29!

The two of them have twenty-two years pass before they can be together. Because so much else happens first! Nacht is self-loathing and doesn't see himself worthy of Josele. Morgen starts dating Josele. Morgen dies, Josele becomes depressed, and Nacht hates himself more. Josele and Nacht do confess their feelings before Spade and they say they're dating before the battle, but they only have their first date after Spade Kingdom is taken care of. And they speedrun the relationship after that, being married and with their first kid (adopted) within a year! 😂

5) Do you have any works where you refuse to reach a certain relationship landmark, for one reason or another?

It's not that I refuse to reach a particular relationship landmark, it's just that I would never write about the landmark. That specific landmark being a couple's first time having sexual intercourse (or any sexual intimacy period) with each other. I just don't write smut. So while I would imply it through some imagery like naked bodies or innuendos, I don't ever see myself writing a fic exploring a couple's sex life.

It would happen! I just would never show it in my own writing. Call me a prude but... yeah.

50) Free space! Brag on yourself! Advertise your writing! What are you most proud of recently?

Last time I answered this, I talked about my BC writing. But now I wanna talk about my other writing.

The very first fic I posted to my ao3 account was for the Radiant Tale fandom! It’s less than 1000 words but I like the little internal monologue I got using 1st person POV and it showed a little love to my favorite guy from that game Paschalia.

And then another visual novel dating sim fic I wrote was for Cinderella Phenomenon, involving Lucette and Klaude (who I talked about earlier). Klaude got a bit ooc in the last chapter but I still like how the fic turned out overall because it had flirting and thoughtful gifts and my favorite characters from the game. And it was something I wrote really just for me. My friends from the BC fandom can’t really enjoy the fic the way I do and I’m not really in the CinPhen fandom either so it doesn’t get much attention. But I was able to finish it~! 💖

[loosesodamarble]

The Future Silva Family

Since I revealed Nacht and Josele's future children, it would only be fair for me to reveal Nozel and Helia's future children as well.

Here they are: Aecor, Fleuriana, Chalivas, and Soleil.

..........

Aecor Silva

His name is a alternative form of the Latin word "aequor" which means "an even surface" or "the sea when calm." He's also got the nickname "Ace."

Age: 18

Birthday: March 3

Magic Attribute: Water.

Appearance: a perfect blend of his parents. Nozel's silver hair and Helia's golden hair combined gives Aecor hair that looks like electrum (the actual metal that is a mix of gold and silver). And between Nozel's purple eyes and Helia's green eyes, their son has blue eyes. He keeps his hair long and styles a couple little braids on the right side of his head.

Personality: Aecor's got the collected attitude of his father but underneath his stoicism, he's got his mother's kindness and love of life. He's too soft for his own good. He'll say he's too busy to help with small matters with the coldest look in his eyes. But one "please," he'll be watering the fields of some backwater village. He's protective of his younger siblings and will do everything to not be how Nozel, Nebra, and Solid once were towards Noelle. He's strategic and inclined to lead, meaning he is able to determine and direct people's strengths for the best results.

Aecor's magical abilities are high leveled and well-rounded. He's got a lot of mana, excellent control, and a versatile array of spells.

He is the heart of the little friendship he has with his siblings. They wholeheartedly trust him and follow his advice/"orders."

Aecor looks up to and is close to people like Asta, Klaus, and Mimosa. Yuno is also amongst his role models.

Aecor definitely joins the Magic Knights in the future and, at Nozel's insistence, joins the Silver Eagles.

Fleuriana Silva

Her name is based on the French word for "flower" with some extra, royal flourish. Most people just call her "Fleur" though.

Age: 16

Birthday: May 5

Magic Attribute: Ironwood. A combination of her parents' metal and plant-based magics to make still living plants that are as durable as steel.

Appearance: She's got her mother's green eyes and her father's silver hair. Her hair is long enough to style but she likes leaving it loose and wild the way Mereoleona used to have it. But when she dolls up, she does opt for her mother's own hair style of a braided crown and low ponytail.

Personality: Fleuriana has two sides of her. When in public, Fleuriana comes off as composed, polite, and dainty. She shows great self-awareness, picking her words and deeds carefully. When in private, Fleuriana is outspoken and impulsive. She does what she likes with only her family being able to deter her from (though not a guarantee). The difference between Fleur casually and during formal occasions is so big that Nozel and Helia joke that they have two daughters. No matter what situation Fleuriana finds herself in, though, she is a forward, self-confident person.

Fleuriana has a great deal of raw power in her magic but she lacks the masterful control that Aecor has.

Fleuriana is a wild card and is known to run off on her own. She's the most independent of the kids.

Fleuriana's top role model is Mereoleona. She'd also be close to Noelle, Luck, and Vanessa.

Her future path is definitely one of being an adventurer, exploring the depths of strong mana regions and even leaving the continent to see more the world.

Chalivas Silva

His name is simply the Greek word for "steel." His nickname is "Chal."

Age: 14

Birthday: January 14.

Magic Attribute: Mercury

Appearance: Ironically, despite having his father's magic, he looks like his mother. The silvery color of his Mercury Magic contrasts with his golden hair which he keeps short and well combed. And his deep green eyes like the forest are often glaring into people's souls.

Personality: There appears to be careful consideration in every move Chalivas makes and he does his best to act with dignity. Chalivas believes in doing things in a "proper" way, meaning things that are efficient and benefit as many as possible. He looks up to Aecor's kindness and Fleuriana's strength but worries they take the virtues to negative extremes. He's not one to talk, as his overly serious behavior makes him an unintentional killjoy. He is someone who is good without being nice though he can show some softness. He's got a lot of walls up though.

Like his father, Chalivas' greatest strength in terms of magic is his control. His control is on prodigy level.

Might be the only sane child. Chalivas is often the one reigning in his older siblings because their hearts so often get the better of them.

Chalivas admires people like Marx, Fuegoleon, and William.

In the future, he would join the Magic Knights and be a Silver Eagle. Though he aims high and fully intends on starting his own squad.

Soleil Silva

Soleil's name is the French word for "sun."

Age: 12

Birthday: December 23

Magic Attribute: Flora

Appearance: Just like Chalivas, Soleil has one parent's magic and the other parent's appearance. Soleil is Nozel's spitting image. Soft purple eyes like lavender. Silver hair that... doesn't have a good plant equivalent, darn. He eventually grows his hair long and wears it in a low braid.

Personality: Soleil is a charismatic kid and gets along with many kinds of people. He has a positivity and enthusiasm that would be contagious. He's also a curious and playful child, meaning he’s a bit of a prankster. Fortunately, his family is smart enough to not fall victim. Unfortunately, that means it’s mostly servants or nobles getting pranked. He's more than a trickster though. He's perceptive and likes to get a read on a person/situation before attempting an approach. Part of Soleil's charisma is built on him first understanding the people he interacts with.

When it comes to magic, what Soleil lacks in power and control, he makes up for in creativity. His grimoire would be dense. Forget the spells inside, the grimoire itself is a weapon.

Soleil is the kind of younger sibling that hypes up and is awed by anything his siblings do. He just loves seeing them succeed. But he also keeps an eye on them, looking for weaknesses that he can exploit for pranks.

Soleil would be close to people like Rill, Dorothy, Kirsch, and Asta.

Being a Magic Knight would restrict Soleil's free spirit too much so he'd become a performer of some kind, using his magic to entertain and inspire others.

[loosesodamarble]

GUYS!

I finally got my hands on Nozel's grimoire!

I might've spiked Nozel's punch to get him to drop his guard. Maybe a few Magic Knights got punched in the face during the escape. I've probably also been blacklisted from the palace but I have it!

It's so pretty and amazing!

Time to see what's inside!

Ha ha. Well!

.....

Credit for the quote goes to @cryo-visionary. Thanks for having fun with me!

[loosesodamarble]

Nozel vs. William for Helia's affection can be described as such:

Nozel may have had a slow start but he wasn't William who tripped over his own feet, rolled down a hill, and fell into a raging river that carried him way off the romantic route.

[loosesodamarble]

Helia: What a brilliant day! The sun is shining, the town is full of laughter, and I have my sweet prince here to accompany me.

Nozel: Because we were both sent out on a mission.

Helia: Because everyone thinks we make a wonderful couple!

Nozel: No, because we're Magic Knights.

[loosesodamarble]

Helia: *is flirting with Nozel*

Nozel: *trying to ignore her*

Yami: Hello, everyone. It sounds like you're having fun.

Nozel: Helia is never fun. All she ever does is spout nonsense.

Yami: She doesn't mean any harm. She's just filled to the brim with so many compliments, and she needs to get them off her chest.

Nozel: Well, she can go direct them at one of her many other adoring fans. *looks at Helia* Or do you only direct them at me because you enjoy how much I ignore you?

[loosesodamarble]

Nozelia 1, 2, 5, 15

Thank you for the questions! I really ought to talk about my og BC pairing more and now you've given me the chance!

The Silver Prince and the Golden Flower ship! Let's go!

..........

1. What’s their love language?

Helia's love language is all of them: gifts, physical touch, words of affirmation, acts of service, and quality time. There's no wrong way to show love in Helia's opinion so she'll show it in any way she can. Flowers on a random day. Kissing him in the morning. Complimenting his pretty braid or work ethic. Helping him finish paperwork. Cuddling in bed before sleeping. Helia will show Nozel love in any way possible and take any show of love Nozel has to offer.

As for Nozel, I think he'd be more inclined towards quality time and acts of service. Expensive gifts would seem tacky and Nozel would still be a little awkward with his words and physical affection. So he makes sure to give Helia plenty of his time when possible and treat her with little kindnesses. He's got to put up with so much pomp and flash in noble society but Helia is simple and genuine. Thus, Nozel shows his love in simple and genuine ways.

2. Who confesses first?

Helia. She was the one to fall in love first. Early on it was mere attraction and admiration but as Nozel opened up more, the more Helia realized her feelings were in fact love. And as soon as she recognized it, Helia blurt it out. She can’t not proclaim her feelings. She doesn’t wait, doesn’t plan, just confesses at the first possible opportunity.

Nozel, being the tsundere that he is, takes a good eternity to admit to himself that he sees Helia in a romantic light. It’s his pride and high expectations of who he should be choosing to bring into House Silva that holds him back.

5. Who likes to be the little spoon?

They both like to be held as the little spoon.

Helia likes the feeling of safety that comes with being held by Nozel. He's protective and will hold her close to him. She likes to indulge in that. She also just like how close she can be to Nozel when he holds her.

Nozel likes being held by Helia because he can be completely vulnerable without being judged. He's lived a long time without the kind of boundless affection that she shows. He's always had to put up a strong front. Being held by Helia lets him be at ease and he loves that feeling so much.

15. Who's the first one up in the morning?

Nozel, by a long shot. Nozel rises with or even before the sun. Sure he might not always feel 100% awake but he will get up. Once he's awake, he cannot sleep again until the designated time. He's become so accustomed to waking early because there's a lot of work that comes with being a royal and a Squad Captain that he didn't really think of sleeping in until Helia was in his life.

Helia may named after the sun and a sunshine personality but she's essentially glued to the sheets until she's forced out of them. Maybe a bit of cold metal against her skin to jolt her awake, courtesy of Nozel.

[loosesodamarble]

Happy Valentine's Day to my ships~!

This Valentine's Day, I'm celebrating with little romantic ideas about what regarding my oc ships (both oc x cc and oc x oc) would do on Valentine's Day (and beyond).

Black Clover

Josele x Morgen: Morgen would write a song and perform it for Josele. (I lowkey blame @simpingforthisonedeer and her headcanons here for getting me hooked on musically inclined Morgen.) Morgen would play the piano and sing his heart out for his beloved. Josele would lean on Morgen's shoulder, smiling and crying and falling in love with him all over again. Her gift isn't as grand but it's still something she made herself, which she'd be proud of. She'd give Morgen a tunic, a simple but classy design made from quality fabric so Morgen could definitely wear it for a future date though Morgen would eagerly insist that he try it on immediately.

Josele x Nacht: For these two, Valentine's day is a quiet, somewhat muted, and personal affair. They spend the day practically glued to one another's side. Hands brushing together, quick pecks every now and then, whispered sweet nothings sprinkled throughout casual conversation. When night comes, they sneak off to a secret glade where they set up a table, chairs, and candles for a dinner date. The peaceful night is a perfect setting to reminisce on the past and discuss the future or simply enjoy each other's presence.

Helia x Nozel: They'd go out social dancing. Both are wonderful dancers, though Nozel has far more elegance and skill but Helia's exuberance in the act mesmerizes Nozel like nothing else. They'd be the center of attention in no time. By the time they return home, Nozel is twirling Helia under his arm just because it feels good and Helia sways each time she embraces Nozel, like they're still dancing.

Licht x Tetia x Lexi: This trio would spend Valentine's Day just being the most annoyingly lovey-dovey throuple. Weaving flower crowns. A picnic on a sunny hill. Sharing name ideas for the twins. Licht and Lexi sparing, pretending to fight for the hand of their fair Lady Tetia.

Irene x Letoile: Irene, being an intellectual, would bring Letoile a bouquet of flowers and little note cards with the meanings of the flowers as well as flower trivia. Letoile returns the romantic gesture by reciting some poetry in a romantic, candle-lit room.

Demon Slayer

Shizuka x Inosuke: They'd wonder what Valentine's Day is. The holiday wasn't introduced to Japan until the 1930s. Okay, but more seriously, they'd spend the day hiking through the mountains, collecting flowers and wild berries. Since both are strong and like to make it known, they'd take turns carrying each other across whatever terrain they encounter. The day ends with them stargazing, hand-in-hand, reveling in being able to enjoy truly peaceful nights.

Ayami x Yumiko: They would definitely do a cafe date. They'd order the most expensive offerings along with stuff they're actually interested in just because they'd like to.

Kyoujurou x Erika: The two of them would have fun walking through a big city, seeing new inventions and fashions brought from the West. Kyoujurou might buy a western dress for Erika and she would insist that she get him a matching suit. Things get more grounded when they return home to share some soothing tea while reading some old poetry.

My Hero Academia

Haruka x Eijirou: Haruka would definitely give Eijirou homemade chocolates and something she drew. She wants to give her all in showing Eijirou how she feels and she knows he would appreciate something she made herself. The White Day follow-up would involve Eijirou giving Haruka some burnt chocolates that would make her cry because one, she's never been given White Day chocolates, and two, they taste awful (but she eats them all anyways).

Ryouko x Okami: Okami is deathly allergic to chocolate (yes, seriously) so Ryouko gives him hard candies instead. She's found that he likes soda flavored candies even though he doesn't like drinking actual soda. Okami returns the favor come White Day by giving her coffee candies as well as her favorite coffee order which he didn't memorize for her; he's just been subjected to it enough that it became ingrained into his memory.

Kyouhei x Terumi: Valentine's Day is when Terumi brings Kyouhei some fancy chocolates and a mix tape for their relationship. Some of the songs might be ones that they sang which both agree is cringey and cute. White Day is when Kyouhei takes Terumi on an arcade date. This theater duo will almost break whatever dancing game machine the arcade has. And Kyouhei reveals his own mix tape and they find that the songs they sang are the only overlaps.

Naoyo x Chizuru: These gals would take to the mall or downtown area, window shopping at a variety of places with things that interest both of them. There's also a back and forth of buying each other snacks.

[loosesodamarble]

Nozel: I hate you when you're ugly.

Helia: *about to cry* Wha-? Really?

Nozel: Good thing you never are.

Helia: *still about to cry but now from happiness* Oh thank god...

Finral: You need more flirting lessons it seems.

[loosesodamarble]

21 and 28 for Helia and Josele~! ;) 💖

Since you somehow asked your question twice, I'm going to answer Helia now and Josele next time. So you get a little content now and a little content later.

..........

21. What are your character’s manners like? What is their type of hero? Whom do they hate?

Helia's manners are rather standard. She knows to curtsey to royalty in formal situations and knows her way around silverware for a fancy banquet. However, she's a blabbermouth and doesn't know when to shut up and that's not gonna fly in high society.

A hero, in Helia's mind, is a kind person. Strength makes you a soldier and allows you to physically protect people. But kindness is what reassures and saves people's hearts.

The list of people Helia hates is short. She tends to dislike people who don't take love seriously or consciously refuse to have fun. Although, right now, the current holder of Helia's most disliked person is William Vangeance!

28. Who is your character’s mate? How do they relate to him or her? How did they make their choice?

Okay, I'm not sure if "mate" is meant to be taken as a romantic partner or as a buddy so I'll just answer it both ways to quell my own mind.

Platonically: Finral. The way I see it, they are bi disaster buddies. They fawn over the pretty men and women in Clover together and fake flirt all the time. They also relate to one another in the knowledge that they aren't always the most reliable siblings. At first, the two really were flirty with each other but after a test kiss they concluded that being with each other romantically wasn't what they really wanted.

Romantically: Nozel. Pretty sure that could've been predicted. I may or may not have mentioned it before but Helia fell for Nozel's grace and his resolve but also the kindness he is forced to hide away for the sake of his image. They are very different people on the outside but deep inside, they do try their best for the sake of their families. Helia is drawn to Nozel, and vice versa, because they are opposites and learn about their own weaknesses from one another.

Whumptober Prompt 6: Aftermath

Character: Helia Nymvire

Word count: ~700

..........

“If you truly love me, as you say…” Nozel had whispered into her ear. “You’ll break free form this, won’t you?”

Despite that plea reaching for Helia’s soul. Despite the call to her heart which was so hopelessly his. Those words which she had heard through the malice of Leahn’s soul.

Still, they did not change a thing.

“The love this woman has for you…” She stepped back. “It is no match for my hatred for your kind!”

Then, spears of sharpened vines pierced through Nozel’s body.

Helia swallowed hard.

The night of the elves’ attack had left many hurt and broken. Whether the pain was physical or emotional, the aftermath was heavy on all of Clover Kingdom. This confrontation, an inevitable one, was Helia’s aftermath.

She knocked on the door in front of her.

“Come in,” a voice from inside called.

She felt uncertain. Ashamed even. The only time she felt as unsure of herself as she did in that moment was when Asta’s arms were cursed.

Despite the unease in her heart, Helia stepped into the room. Into Nozel’s office.

Nozel was not at his desk. Instead, he stood at the window, staring through it to the scenery outside. He stood upright and regal, as always. The sight of the prince made Helia’s heart race. But it wasn’t the light, dizzying skipping of the heart that she was used to. Rather, she felt weighed down by the rapid thumping inside of her chest, like her heart was a machine ready to collapse on itself.

“Captain Nozel.” Helia did a quick curtsey. Even if he wasn’t looking at her, it felt like the right thing to do. “I…” She looked down at the humble gift in her arm: a simple bundle of purple hyacinths. “I came to…”

Nozel turned his head and looked at Helia with a cold glare. “To what? Apologize?” he asked, tone sharp. “If that’s the case, then say your piece.” His gaze returned to the window.

Helia bowed her head.

Despite Nozel’s attitude, it was going better than she expected. Helia worried that she wouldn’t have been allowed to see Nozel but instead she stood in the same room as him.

“I… I really have no excuse for what happened that night,” Helia stated, trying to hold herself steady.

The memories of the night when Clover Kingdom fell into chaos were a blur. Leahn’s presence had been so strong that it was a surprise for Helia to remember anything at all. Many things were lost but others were burned into her memory. Nozel’s tender words in Helia’s ears. His arms delicately around her. Then the wide-eyed horror on his face as he coughed up blood.

“I lost control of my own body and caused pain. To you and your family. And you…” Helia subconsciously gripped the flowers tighter. Her eyes watered. “You were so kind and put your trust in me only for me to attack instead. It was awful, plain and simple.”

Helia looked up at Nozel.

Nozel didn’t look at Helia.

It felt the same as it did years ago when they met. Although they stood in the same space, they existed worlds apart from each other. Helia was the one looking at Nozel, wishing to close the distance. Nozel kept his walls up, his eyes on something that Helia couldn’t see, much less understand.

A few exchanged letters meant nothing. Helia’s feelings, whether they were mere infatuation or genuine love, meant nothing. As for Nozel’s feelings, Helia was sure they couldn’t be anything but contempt after what happened.

“I’m sorry.” Helia hurriedly walked to Nozel’s desk and placed the flowers down. Then, she made her way to the door. She paused in the doorframe. “I do hope you’ve healed properly, Captain Nozel.”

“I have. Something which I cannot thank you for.”

Helia flinched. She had considered it. Offering to mend the wounds. Even if she did not do it herself, her body and magic had been the thing to attack Nozel. But she had pushed aside the notion.

“You should be going now.”

“O-of course…”

As she walked away, Helia cursed herself. Her stubborn heart still wished to see him. Even though he never looked at her. What would he even see in her? Nothing before. And now, a painful memory.

[loosesodamarble]

002 for Noelle and Nozel~! 👀

Oh, we're talking about some Silva siblings today, are we? Okay then! Let's get down to it!

..........

Noelle Silva

How I feel about this character: Baby. Daughter. She was my favorite character for a long time and she is still amongst the favorites for good reason. She's strong-willed and kind-hearted. Her arc of being desperate for acceptance from her blood family to finding value in herself through her found family is beautiful.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Asta is the strongest contender to be honest. And I can't think of anyone else.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Kahono is a good friend to Noelle and I'm glad they support each other. I think Noelle and Fana could also be good friends because I am positive that Fana was the one to help Noelle learn to synch with Undine while in Elysia because she has experience working with a spirit herself. Please Tabata, stop squandering a good friendship opportunity.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Noelle and Undine being disagreeable is fine. Noelle has always shown to be on the bull-headed (pun wholly intended) while Lolopchka is mild-mannered. Of course Undine wouldn't be thrilled to have someone so different as her partner. And Noelle would be offended by that. Having Lolopechka around gave them a mediator but without her, any negative views of each other would show. I know it was sudden but I was fine with it.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish Saint Valkyrie wasn't like that. But I think everyone sane wishes it wasn't that way. At least talented creators are making amazing redesigns.

My OTP: Astelle. Sorry for being vanilla, girl.

My cross over ship: Why do I feel like Zuko and Noelle would vibe about being the family "failures" and turning out super awesome thanks to their found family? Plus, water and fire aesthetics. And they both have some kind of draconic connection (the Dancing Dragon and Sea Dragon's Roar).

A headcanon fact: Has a weird distribution of knowledge. She knows the exact date and name of certain historical events but if you showed her a green apple and pear side-by-side, she genuinely wouldn't know which is which.

.....

Nozel Silva

How I feel about this character: Nozel was the first character in Black Clover I simped for. It's waned since I found the Fausts and was fully awakened to Licht's beauty but I still admire Nozel now and there. He's a strict fellow that need to mellow out honestly. I'm not happy with how he treated Noelle but shounen will do the whole "ostracized by family" thing every now and then. At least he's changing for the better, accepting the power of commoners and showing more faith in Noelle's abilities.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Fuegoleon and Dorothy are about equal in my opinion. There's evidence for both and both are equally unlikely to happen. But also, there's my poly-captains crack ship. And if we're going non-canon, Helia and Adva (😉) are some of my top picks.

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Nozel and Fuegoleon. They are rivals so of course them being paired up in any context would make sense to me. Him and Charlotte would also make a good team. Both are tsundere and their magic types are opposites (metal vs plant are opposite in my mind, hush) but both give an air of sharp elegance.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Nozel's not actually racist toward Yami. Like, Nozel doesn't say things like Yami's home country is a backwards wasteland or assert that he's superior to Yami because he (Nozel) is Cloverian. Nozel knows so little about Yami that he has no other way to voice his distaste for Yami so he essentially uses "foreigner" as an insult. It's still not cool but Nozel has so little contact with other races that I'm not sure it counts as racism. It's just him being a jerk.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: He honestly should've decked William across the face the first chance he got. And he should get to deck Patry across the face too. I know physical strength isn’t his speciality but being able to look those two directly in the eyes before causing them physical pain is a treat he deserves.

My OTP: Nozelia. Sorry, not sorry.

My cross over ship: Keigo Takami (a.k.a. Hawks) and Takayuki (😆). If only for the bird aesthetics. Nozel would probably try to kill both of them so it'd be more like a three-way battle to the death rather than a romantic relationship.

A headcanon fact: He has no idea what raw ingredients look like and would never eat anything not prepared. At all. Not even fruit. It's always cut up and arranged fancily. He would be as put off by someone eating a raw apple as he would be if they ate sushi in front of him.

For the ask game... Devoted and Bargain? For Helia, and for Shizuka

Alright! Thank you for the ask, anon!

With whumptober, I wanted to make more content for my ocs and I want to keep that going! So, again, thank you for the question!

Time for some oc fluff!

..........

Helia Nymvire

Devoted - How do they show they're serious?

When Helia finally ends up with Nozel, her flirting doesn't go away. In fact, she doubles down on it. With Nozel only. She knows she's a flirt but she can't stop cold turkey so she just makes sure her repertoire is used only with Nozel. Even if it embarrasses him or some flirts fall flat, Helia wants to make it clear that she'll keep her eyes only on Nozel from then on. Admittedly, it's a very strange way to go about it, but it's very fitting for Helia.

And if anyone else tries to flirt with Helia, she'll gently turn them down (and remember any new lines she hears because she has to try them with Nozel).

Bargain - How do they get their way?

Helia does the biggest, softest pleading puppy dog eyes she can manage. Nozel is a bit weak for that look. On the days when pleading with her eyes isn't enough, Helia would throw in a few praises. How kind and handsome and generous Nozel is. It does double duty, feeding Nozel's ego and challenging him to prove Helia's words right.

Shizuka Hisasue

Devoted - How do they show they're serious?

Saying it out loud. Shizuka is a girl who is terrible with words and as such, keeps her heart hidden away most of the time. So when the time comes for her and Inosuke to become a couple, she becomes more vocal with her affection. It may not be often but she'll actually say what she feels out loud instead of leaving it to be assumed.

Shizuka isn't vague about it either. She won't simply compliment what she likes about Inosuke, she does the full "I love you." You'll know she's serious when she says so directly.

Bargain - How do they get their way?

Normally, Shizuka isn't a needy person and can be patient. But if she wants something to go her way real quick, she pulls a bit of reverse psychology. She'll claim Inosuke can't do something for her or that he wouldn't let her have what she wants. For example:

"Oh no, if you really don't think I should have a nap right now, I guess I'll wait until night." "Like hell! Of course you should sleep!" Inosuke proceeds to run to the other room and prepare a futon before carrying Shizuka to the set up. "Now sleep!"

Not the most logical situation but I couldn't think of another way to display it.
