#second choice things ✊😔

Mello’s mafia probably had a Himalayan pink salt lamp in their lounge and then it slowly kept dissolving bc Sidoh was licking it every hour

👀woe, yuusona upon ye👐

Meet Lou Tang, the Ramshackle Prefect, Beast Tamer of Night Raven College, the Magicless Student from Another World, et cetera, et cetera. (yes, tagalog speakers i see you but her choice of name will be explained waaay under the cut) credits to this picrew

Appearance:

Lou has two ways of wearing the uniform: a) on days where she feels like putting effort into her appearance, she'll wear a tie and the vest, but on low-energy days b) she'll only throw on the blazer. She also prefers to keep the polo’s sleeves folded up to her elbows. (She tried wearing gloves for her first day on campus, but ended up hating it. If she gets points docked for not wearing the complete uniform, then so be it😤)

She has long, wavy dark brown hair, usually tied into twintails. The height of her twintails tends to be dictated by how much energy she starts her day. Which is kind of ironic, considering Lou has a sensitive scalp and gets prone to tension headaches when wearing high twintails.

Lou has dark brown eyes, no light in them (dead as a tuna, sorta like Naho Saenoki from Corpse Party), but the rest of her face is expressive enough that it tends to go unnoticed (unless the other party is really emotionally-observant.)

Body-wise, Lou is already pretty skinny, but she also has long limbs++fingers. Which leads to people thinking that she needs to be given extra food (unless it can be stored as leftovers, don't. Girlie is not someone you bring to a buffet unless you enjoy losing money). She also has bad posture, which adds to her homely vibes (but that's if you put her in a chair or in front of a computer, so yes, she is shrimpy🤧)

Expressions-wise, Lou falls into the category of having subtitles on her face. It's so easy to read what she's feeling. (Yes, that also means she turns red very easily as someone who gets flustered 1000% of the time. She could be Riddle's cousin or sumn) It partly has to do with her being a theater kid, and more of [Redacted for spoilers]

General Personality:

People-pleaser. Tends to match the energy of whoever she's conversing and let them lead the conversation. (Which can come across as being a brown noser, especially if that person has a higher position over her like as an elder or authority figure)<-SEAsian culture of respect tingz😔✊

But under that facade, she's a nerd at heart. Things like: superstitions, cats, video games, musicals. It takes someone being a friend* for her to actively talk about her interests.

Non-confrontational. (Very much to her detriment) Another SEAsian-ism tying into her people-pleaser tendencies. Though, in her mind, things always go smoother when people aren’t at each other’s throats. This is also kind of why she also tends to gravitate more towards the calm and diplomatic people of the NRC cast. (Wow these vice housewardens are so nice <- girlie's thoughts 0.5 seconds before realizing izza prank)

*Because she puts on a "friendly" front around 98% of people she meets, she seems like an extravert (a consequence of her own making). She is the complete opposite and always needs to crash at some point to recharge. [This is only one of her many facades, she has very few people that she considers true friends.]

*Unless you're friends with her or just in her vicinity when she thinks she's alone, she says a lot of snarky and out-of-pocket shit. 

Being a theater kid™, she tends to make semi-accurate snap judgments towards people and creates a sort of script to follow when interacting with them. Of course, this comes across as her being two-faced, but again, this is for that yummy juicy smooth interpersonal relationships climate she desperately wants to have in her social life. Especially considering her family [redacted for irrelevance].

Which leads to another thing about her: Lou has little trust in people. Especially in a place like NRC which dredges up a lot of unsavory memories of when she was younger. In her mind, acting like a clown means she's "earning being laughed at on her own terms."

Misc. Information:

Class 1-A. Lou would actually take Ace’s seat as student no. 25. Pretty convenient that all three of them are in the same row, and in the back of the class. Not convenient that they all got branded with a troublemaker reputation because of the chandelier incident.

Left-handed, but doesn’t bring it up. If she can adjust with using her right, then everything’s good. (Someone please tell her to speak up, she needs to be brave for once🤧)

Initially signed up for a performing arts club (either theater or choir), but chickened out of auditions. She’s a big appreciator of the arts, but has intense performance anxiety. So, she’s with Grim doing whatever they do in the Gourmet Club. At some point in the story, she thinks if she should’ve tried joining the Film Studies Club… (if only she didn’t get so intimidated by Vil Schoenheit)

Her best class is Arts. Maybe Musicology too, but that’s because she can find the energy to work really hard at it in spite of her lack of innate talent.

Her worst class might be Enigmics or Potionology/Alchemy (Math and pseudo-cooking, her biggest weaknesses).

Sorta bilingual, but to be honest, most of her Tagalog usage is just for curses and swearing. Or for being very emotionally-vulnerable, which has yet to happen.

Lou Tang is not her real name. It’s actually just the word ‘lutang’ (meaning ‘to float,’ but it connotes someone who’s absent-minded and ditzy, in a derogatory sense) but stretched into a sort of name. Like that one scene in Barbie and the Musketeers

[Upon her arrival to NRC, she clocked that Dire Crowley was not human and gave a fake name. Even if they presented themselves as a kind and gracious figure, you wouldn’t give your real name to someone of the Faefolk, right?]

[taegularities]

the problem with this whole *gestures vaguely* thing is that kook was already my backup bias for when i've had enough from the ig wh*re (affectionate) but now kook isn't even a safe choice? and jimin can never keep his clothes on to begin with and yoongi is CLEARLY going through something so who's even safe??? joon with his big muscles looking like he could rip out of his shirt any second??? hobi and his light switch duality??? jin going through his man in uniform era??????? none of these options get me out of this alive. it was nice knowing yall

the ig wh*re has been either very absent or very civil these days, so that gives us a second to breathe at least ✊😔 but yes, stanning bts comes with a lot of risks... guess suffering and being bias wrecked every three seconds is part of the package deal atp </3

☕ Kritanta with the MerSquad. I just wanna know

Hope you’ve been doing well 🍬

❤ Send ☕ for someone of your choice to take care of my love potion-ed oc!

[I hope you've been doing well too 💖 I'm doing a bullet list for them since it's hard to keep track of five characters at once ✊😔]

- Meri is.... well, Meri. Surprisingly he might be one of the easiest for Kritana to look after since under the effects of the love potion, he's entirely focused on whoever it is that he "fell for" to the point that there's none of his usual Shenanigans to look out for

- To be honest, her safest bet is to just leave him with whoever it is he has his sights on (within reason) because the Moment she tries to take him away, he's kicking and screaming!!

- It'd probably be easy to subdue him if it wasn't for the fact she has three other mermaids to look after ajfjsjjxs

- Bellus is really just his usual self! Or... at least seems to be. He still has his flirty moments, compliments people he thinks are pretty, but he's a lot more... subdued

- like he's lost interest in everyone

- it isn't until someone mentions Percy flying by and Bellus tries to fucking get out the nearest window to see him is it obvious that he's under the potion too. Kritana has to keep this fucker from jumping into the ocean around Piraticus and swimming away where she can't reach!! He ends up being the second biggest handful to deal with if she doesn't want a runaway mermaid

- Kenn is trying, he really is. His habit of looking out for people he cares about has been focused entirely on whoever it is he came into contact with after his dosage, so now whoever it is being buried under gifts by a smothering yet well-intentioned Kenn

- He does listen to Kritana more than Meri!! He still keeps lingering with whoever he's in "love" with, but he'll listen long enough to pull away from them when Kritana asks. Really, the main problem she has to deal with is him constantly getting distracted by things wondering if his person would like this or want that

- On the bright side, he does help her wrangle in the other Mers. But he has a constant longing air as long as he's away from his "love"

- Caspian is a Menace. Until the other Mers, he grew up away from even Neverland civilization with a morally grey at best adult being one of the only two people in his life. So when he's under the love potion affect, he also wants to always be with his "love" but unlike the others who wanna go to them, he's taking Them to Him

- Yeah this man is straight up hunting down whatever poor fucker managed to catch his eye. He'll even go back to his merform if it'll help, which has the threat of Literally Breaking The Piraticus Ship. Kritana really has her hands full ☆

- Hes the one Kritana would have to keep an eye on the most to prevent damage to the ship and PTSD for whoever got stuck as his "love". Unlike the others who just try to sneak away, he's willing to lie and use force to get out of Kritana's watch. Put a fucking backpack leash on this man

OKAY SO TUMBLR CRASHED ON ME AND I JUST LOST MY RAMBLES AND THIS IS THE SECOND BLOODY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME AND I AM READY TO THROTTLE A WEBSITE!

*coughs* okay onto the rambles. I’m finally getting through my apprentice reblog back log lol. I always like leaving long chunks of text and it takes forever so bear with me here.

Ash 🤝 Maeve

Can’t cook for shit (and lighting fires when they try)

Okay onto mc and art rambles! I adore your art it’s so pretty! You have a beautiful art style, I love how you draw eyes and clothes! It’s always super pretty. Also I love Ash he’s adorable. And too freakin tall lmfao. So many tall people 😔✊. 

No shade (haha) to the digital artists of the fandom (y’all art are always bangers) but you don’t see a lot of traditional artists and it’s nice to see! I draw traditional and digital but traditional it’s always hard to get nice pictures so props to you!

I love your colour choices, they blend together nicely (and: have you ever thought about putting Ash in more blues and greys? This is specifically for the masquerade thing you mentioned, the costume is gorgeous though. Like maybe deep blues purples and grey? I think those colours would look nice with his skin tone but that’s just me! As always, just a suggestion! The grey idea stems from Julian’s eye colour. Idk thought it was cute lol XD)

But yes I adore your art style! It’s really nice to look at, and Iow traditional art is a bit of a struggle. But you draw so beautifully, and I can’t wait to see more of Ash! I love his design and his character he’s very fun!

Okay my tablet is lagging like nobodies business so I’m gonna end the text rambles here! I just wanna say I love your art and can’t wait to see more of Ash! (+ Julian)

Ash can't cook :D

Well, he's ok with cooking something that doesn't require fire. But when he tries to bake or roast something (☞ ಠ_ಠ)☞ That happens...

He's bad with fire, (;ꏿ_ꏿ;)
