#this is currently about jamil but it always happens

[greenapplebling]

Me: I love my blorbo sm

Friend: Yes I know

Me, who talks about blorbo 24/7: but do you?? DO YOU??

[angelltheninth]

The status said "requests open" & TWST is currently the hyperfixation ravaging my autistic brain, so I propose the following!!

(If this is too many characters tho; I mainly just want Leona, Malleus, Azul & Jamil.)

The Overblot boys accidentally blurting out will you marry me? to the Reader who is doing something completely benign but it warms his heart as he realizes he's head over heels.

You're just so kind & warm, but not that sickeningly sweet naivete that makes them scowl. No, you're aware of the bad in the world— but in spite of it, you show him that kindness. Sure, he's lost his temper or just been rude to you out of frustration, but you don't take it lying down nor do you shut him out. You're understanding without being condescending. You make him feel wanted & seen & sincerely appreciated, even with all his flaws and bad habits.

(Bonus: he backtracks out of embarassment, but Reader gently teases him about that mushy response, subtly implying they're open if he manages to get the nerve to go for it.)

Cute as hell oh my god!

Pairing: Leona Kingscholar, Azul Ashengrotto, Jamil Viper, Malleus Draconia x Fem!Reader

A/N: I wouldn't hesitate to marry them. All four of them.

Leona was half asleep when he asked you to marry him, you would have missed it entirely if you weren't cuddling up against his chest when it happened. He tried to convince you this was just a dream, he would never be tied down and you can't make him. This is all very redundant given that he was the one who proposed to you, so in actuality he wants to be called yours doesn't he? He does, he can't deny it now, and before he tries to backtrack, your answer is a yes.

Azul asked that on a contract as a joke asking you if you would sign a contract like that. The last thing he expected was for you to sign it in a heartbeat and ask him where's he's putting his name. For a man who makes as many deals and contracts as he does he is rarely rendered speechless and stunned by someone else, he stared at the paper, blinking rapidly. He couldn't believe you were so ready to marry him, you must love him more than you let on.

Jamil always teases you with fake marriage proposals so you begin saying no every time just to see what he'd do next. Of course he takes this as a challenge to try to get you to say yes, which becomes sort of a contest between the two of you, to see who will fold first. To get an edge up on you when he asks you he kisses you to stop you from saying no, little did he know that you were about to say yes. When you tell him that he asks you again, excited, but you say no again.

Malleus blurted it out while you were running your hands through his hair and massaging the base of his horns. It felt so good, he was so relaxed and completely lovestruck by you so the words fell from his lips before he could stop them. Immediately he starts apologizing, panicking, he doesn't know what he was thinking or if he was even thinking. His cheeks grew a bright pink, his pointy ears too but instead of laughing you kissed him, you would love to be his bride.

I in one of your most recent posts about the new Halloween event you said that in this event Vil actually suggests outright abandoning us?! 💀 Wtf!!?? Can you please elaborate a bit more about where he said that and the context of why he said it? I've already seen what's available of the event but I don't remember that part. Thank you for covering the events by the way as sometimes the translation is too rough to make out the story or I'm unable to finish it while in game. 🤍🩶🖤(Spooky hearts)

[Referencing this post!]

The scene you’re referring to is the end of 1-8 of Lost in the Book with Nightmare Before Christmas. At this point in the event, the NRC students have been sucked into the world of the storybook and have met Skully.

The group has come to the circle of holiday trees and Jade has opened the Halloween door. Skully looks inside but remarks that he cannot see the bottom. It’s then that a powerful gust of wind starts to pull him inside. As he’s falling, he grabs onto Grim’s tail for support. However, it becomes a chain of people grabbing onto others (Skully grabs Grim, Grim grabs Yuu, Yuu grabs Sebek, Sebek grabs Leona, Leona grabs Jamil) until several of us have fallen into the Halloween tree hole.

The remaining boys look at one another and debate about what they should do. After Jade notes that Yuu and the others have fallen into the tree, Vil says (rough translation): “What should we do? Leave them?” So yeah, he’s outright suggesting they abandon our asses 😭 There’s no sugarcoating it or some context that magically makes his lines any nicer.

Idia agrees with Vil to abandon us. Azul speaks up to express dissent, saying that they can put Skully, Grim, Yuu, Sebek, Leona, and Jamil in their debt if they go and rescue them. Riddle agrees with Azul because it’s the correct thing to do to find missing people, so they ultimately follow us into the tree.

I don’t think this is anything to be too startled over though?? Perhaps it doesn’t necessarily feel good to be betrayed by characters we enjoy, but it’s been pretty well-established that NRC students tend to go by the “every man for himself” mentality. Plus, the idea of NRC students being willing to throw others under the bus or abandon them if it’s convenient has definitely already happened numerous times before. (Yuu, despite being the self-insert character, is not always an exception to this.) One major example of the NRC students abandoning others is 3-15 of Glorious Masquerade (ie another Halloween event). Idia and Ruggie bring up leaving the RSA students (who sacrificed themselves so the NRC students could get away from the crimson flowers/fire lotuses) and just going home.

In GloMasq, the boys eventually decide to stick around and help out for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to: Silver noting that the spread of the flowers could endanger people they care about, Azul not wanting to leave a debt unpaid + wanting to put a bunch of mages in hospital debt, and Malleus seeking revenge on Rollo.

As you can see, the majority of the reasoning offered for the NRC boys saving the day actually have quite selfish roots. Vil’s suggestion in the current Lost in the Book Event therefore isn’t out of the ordinary. He doesn’t really have anything to gain or lose from a few of us going missing. Maybe the story would be different if one of his dorm members (say, Epel) or someone he has real responsibility over went down the tree, but Vil isn’t obligated to look after us to that extent.

Prefect’s Revenge

Summary: The dorm leaders and the vice dorm leader of Scarabia have been noticing weird things going on recently. Having no clue why until the Ramshackle prefect reveals their the one behind their recent misfortune at a meeting.

A/N: This is basically just a crack fic of Mc being done with everyone’s bs and proceeds to traumatize the overblot group. I’m slowly getting back into writing. I hope you’re all doing well and are having a wonderful day/night!

-Sincerely Cupid Tea 💖

It started off with Riddle soon noticing something different with his breath. Usually after he brushed his teeth he always felt like his breath was minty fresh. Recently though he soon noticed an odd taste in the back of his mouth. He hadn’t changed anything recently. Nothing in his routine seemed different too. Even confiding in Trey about anything that could be causing his bad breath. Sadly Trey couldn’t even figure out why and just told him to buy some mints to help including trying to brush his teeth more. The red head was soon left to ponder why his breath smelled so bad recently.

Then it was Leona. Sure his dormitory was known for reckless and obnoxious beastman. Though it’s never been this bad. All he wanted to do was sleep that’s it, but for some reason his dorm mates refused to turn down the music or stop partying. He was honestly sick and tired of hearing the blasting music from the lounge area. He’s even had to grumpily get out of his bed late early in the morning to tell them to keep it down. He was almost on the verge of actually begging them to shut the fuck up. He couldn’t even sleep in the botanical garden anymore without Last Friday night playing on repeat in his head once again. Even I’m a Barbie girl was haunting him.

Soon misfortune stuck Azul his coin collection that he locked in the vault wouldn’t open. He even got 2 new coins. Very rare and coins that were easy for anyone to steal and make a fortune off of. He soon tried to pull the door open thinking it was jammed. Sadly that didn’t work at all. He’s used a chainsaw, a lock picker, he even tried using the twins brute strength to open the door. After hours and hours of trying to get the door open in a desperate attempt to get his coin collection he threw himself at the door. Sadly, once again nothing worked. He was currently heaving with tears of frustration just wanting to put his new coins in his collection that he couldn’t get to.

Jamil soon started to notice an odd sensation on his back in the middle of the night. He mistook it for the cold breeze coming into his room due to it being colder at night. Soon it felt like something crawling on his back. But every time he checked there was nothing. He soon let his imagination get the best of him thinking it was spiders crawling up his back. Not to mention the recent spider infestation at his dormitory it seemed that everyday for the past week everyone in the Scarabia dorm was seeing spiders. This only scared the vice house warden more.

A horrific thing had happened in Pomefiore. Vil. The Vil Shoenheit had a pimple on his face. A horrendous pimple was on his face. Wait now it’s 2! Now it’s three!! What is happening!? His skincare routine was impeccable!! There’s no way this should be happening!

Idia was currently panicking. How the hell could someone hack him!? His everything was hacked!! He couldn’t even play with only friend online without the screen glitching out! Who the hell even downloaded so many viruses onto his computer!? How did they even download so many!?

Diasomnia was no better than the rest as a harsh thunderstorm plagued the dormitory. Malleus had lost his tamagochi Gao-Gao Drakon-kun. Which should’ve been impossible, but here we are he was currently tearing his room apart. While the rest of diasombia cowered at Malleus’s rage Lilia, Silver, … mainly Lilia and Silver tried to help him calm down and think rationally before he caused a tornado to run through the campus. Sebek was no help at all as he joined in on the destruction of Malleus’s room determined to find his masters Beloved Gao-Gao Drakon-kun.

Soon they were all called to a house warden meeting to discuss something with Crowley. They all stood a bit awkwardly. Riddle for once kept his mouth shut as he sat at the table before shoving another mint into his mouth for the 12th time today. Leona was on the verge of passing out as he looked down looked as if he was in pain and sleep deprived. Azul looked upset for once as if he was frustrated about something. Jamil looked paranoid as he kept glancing back and forth left to right at the walls occasionally slapping his back. He had come due to Kalim needing to study for an upcoming test due to his grades getting low. Vil on the other hand had on a mask. Idia was aggressively tapping his tablet making an upset groan once again seeing the screen glitch. Malleus on the other hand was impatiently tapping his foot he had no time for this he needed to find Gao-Gao Drakon-Kun. He was thankful to actually be here for once, but he had more important matters at the moment.

Soon and unexpectedly {Y/N} came in to break the silence.

“… Well it’s oddly quiet in here for once.” you chuckled.

None of it found it amusing as they all looked desperate to get out of here.

“ Fine then I’ll cut to the chase… Crowley didn’t invite you all here I did. “ you revealed having them all look at you in confusion.

“Why prefect?” *riddle asked popping another mint into his mouth after cringing smelling his breath.

“Well you see… you guys all remember when you overblotted right?” the atmosphere immediately grew a bit tense.

“I’m still pretty pissed about it to be honest so I thought why not get revenge on all of you.” This immediately caught their attention.

Soon Vil ripped off his mask yelling “ You did this to me!?” The others stared at him in shock his chin and cheeks were covered in red pimples. Well everyone except you this made you chuckle as you nodded.

“ Yep I replaced that cream you use in your face routine with lard.” You giggled as Vil gasped looking at you in disbelief.

“… W-wait what did you do to be then?” Riddle asked covering his mouth this made you sigh.

“ Riddle in all honesty I did this to you a while ago when you acted like a tyrant… I’ll apologize for this one but… I used your tooth brush to clean the toilets in Ramshackle.”he stood there in shock before gagging and running out the room.

The others just looked at you in shock and one by one you revealed what you did to them. For Leona you actually installed speakers outside his room that constantly play Last Friday night and Barbie girl. Turns out Ruggie really will do anything for a quick buck and donuts. Azul you had used super glue on the vaults lock. Idia you had ortho teach you how to hack and he’s surprisingly a very good teacher; you even sent idias search history to his parents. You had actually put a pregnant spider in Jamils room. Last but not least for Malleus you stole his tamagotchi.

“… You did all this for what!?” *Azul had a crazed look on his face as he looked at you in disbelief.

“ Revenge!” You yelled.

★ oh no! it's the baby apocalypse! (2) ┊ wc:

content: talks of baby stuff, crackfic?

pairings: idia & malleus x gn!reader. (seperated)

note! I finally did the part 2! although the last part would be Kalim and Jamil.. This was stuck in my drafts and I just noticed now. part 1

idia.

idia is the type of dad to spoil his child since he doesn't really know what else to do, he isn't used to saying affectionate words but he does make it up by spending time with the child and spoiling them.

I believe that idia has some experience in handling kids because of ortho so he wouldn't technically be completely clueless about fatherhood. (also there's a chance that he watched those family animes)

when he first saw his child, he froze. he froze like an ice statue because he's in shock like wow?? is that really his baby?? (the baby literally has his fire hair.)

he's awestruck because of how adorable the baby looks and not to mention how cute it is... idia promises that he'd do anything to make his child smile

he spends his free time bonding with his child by watching numerous animes and playing games that's child friendly of course, even though the child could barely talk... but it is quite endearing to hear the nonsensical babble of your child and idia nodding along with whatever they just said as id he understands them.

“I probably won't be able to buy that much merch anymore... unless I make my child enjoy gaming and anime >:) ”

malleus.

he would isolate his child without knowing he's isolating his child inside his castle. it was how he was raised but his child won't be completely isolated just protected. malleus wants his child to not have the same childhood like the one he had.

malleus would be king by the time he had a child but that doesn't mean his child would rarely see him, no. malleus grew up without experiencing his mother and father’s presence in his childhood that's why he makes sure his child always sees him. malleus's child would practically be in the throne room playing with toys and malleus's tail and also talking gibberish nonsense with the guards that's stationed in the throne room mostly silver and sebek. the scenario goes like this: malleus on his throne listening to silver and sebek's reports while his eyes sometimes stray to his child and his mouth would twitch and turn upwards- the reason was because his child is now currently munching on silver's long cloak while their hand was occupied with grasping sebek's pants. it was an eandering sight.

the first time he saw his child, he cried. the fearsome dragon fae king was shedding tears like a newborn baby and it was because of the mere sight of his child. when the child first opened their eyes- malleus saw his own striking electric green eyes staring right back at him and that was what made him have a wide smile on his face as his child reaches for his horns with their small closed fists.

lilia sometimes makes sure to visit just so he could spend some time with his precious grandchild, yes, his bangs got burned again by a similar green fire that came out of the mouth of the baby he's holding. malleus saw this happen and his reaction was to chuckle while sebek fretted over lilia's now smoking bangs but lilia only waved him off saying that he's used to it by now, and silver is just standing there with a soft smile on his face.

malleus takes you and his child out every night to walk with him in a forest that malleus used to go to back when he was a child whenever he feels overwhelmed with his feelings. the forest is a beauty with it's thorned vines that seems to wrap around trees, there were also some glowing fairies lingering and lighting the beautiful forest. the forest was the meaning of peace and beauty.

malleus hums a familiar lullaby that he used to sing for you back when you both were still at nrc, his hands caressing you and your child's hair as he wraps his arms around the both of you protectively as if the both of you would disappear out of his arms.

cw: 3 am thoughts hitting, but this time we got good ones 🤧 yippee🎉 i would've wanted to put this in my current wip, but the vibes don't fit, so i'm jus throwing it out here. pre-slash relationship crack, reader is yuu/ramshackle prefect and extra down-bad for jamil, accidental violence and blood descriptions, unbeta'd, all mistakes are mine as always. if u see me editing out any typos and incomplete sentences, no u did not.

thinking of how jamil seems to have a constant furrow in his brow while sleeping. at first, you take it as a sign that he probably isn't even asleep. he's probably keeping his eyes shut in spite of the noise you make. as much as you blame the lack of regular upkeep for the ramshackle dormitory's constant creaks and groans, jamil probably is the lightest sleeper (out of the human characters in the NRC ensemble at least). he's probably keeping all the minute complaints to himself and is just making use of these forty-five minutes away from kalim.

to you, the little crease on his forehead is extra confirmation that - no matter how much he denies it - jamil is so overworked that he cannot seem to find much peace, even in unconsciousness.

and you try to busy yourself, anything to stop from keeping vigil (or watching over him like a guardian angel? to be honest, you were more like a sleep paralysis demon). you were not going to ruin this sacred nap - oh, that sounded so depressing, he barely even gets an hour of break time away from his duties.

(though you do consider reaching for his phone and messing with the alarm. maybe you could stretch that scant bit of time into two, three hours. or just shut it off completely, jamil more than deserved the sublime comfort of not having to wake up to alarms. but, alas, if only you knew his passcode.)

instead what happens is that you crouch by him, one of your hands tentatively outstretched. the pads of your fingertips just hovering a few centimeters away from his face, poised to soothe the tension from his features.

and what happened next, happened in rapid succession and was completely your fault.

crack!

(your cheeks don't stop burning. you can hang your head in a display of shameful contrition, sure. but the truth is that you're tuning out every single word of jamil's exasperated sermon in favor of savoring his touch as he presses a fistful of napkins against your face to stop the bleeding. thankfully not broken, but capillaries like to do their thing and make the situation more dramatic than it actually is.

"enough worrying about me, what about your hand?" you'd sound so cool if you didn't have dried blood on your face.

the unimpressed frown jamil gives you is all the response you need. heck, if you looked closely, you could see him combing through his encyclopedia of choice insults. "my hand is fine. but now i've got a headache thanks to someone being a dumbass. should i be glad that it isn't kalim for once?"

oh, more than a mix of guilt and shame, having jamil's attention on you is an intoxicating sensation, you can only muster a weak "haha" in response.)

『just like heaven, chapter 1, part 3』

this part contains riddle’s dream sequence. 

housewardens x reader

author’s note: i depict nrc as an actual college, so first years are 18, second years 19, etc.

summary: crowley has the bright idea of a bonding experience, specifically in the form of a dream potion.

characters: (riddle rosehearts), leona kingscholar, azul ashengrotto, jamil viper, vil schoenheit, idia shroud, malleus draconia / platonic mentions: dire crowley (ew), grim

genre: romance, fluff, smidge of angst

warnings: female reader, reader is yuu, reader is around ace and deuce’s height, sappy, marriage, mentions of potential children, some suggestive themes

「dream scene: rose colored reverie」

Everything is going Azul’s way. Last week the prefect told him he has nice handwriting, his academic rival is suffering, and everyone is a bit on edge, especially Idia, who just tried to conspire with Jamil to figure a way out.

Azul is not nervous. He doesn’t have dreams, except those he’s already decided on. Goals is a better term for it. He is curious as to what the prince of Briar Valley wants. Perhaps he could make a deal? A bit ambitious, but… such is business. Speaking of Malleus, Azul is sure he hasn’t blinked in a few minutes.

(Y/N) is sitting on a chair, turned away from the scene. No thoughts are currently moving inside her head in order to preserve sanity for upcoming tomfoolery. “Sweet potato, do you remember what your dreams are about?” Vil hopes they involve him. “I can’t really remember. I just blackout from exhaustion when my head hits the pillow.” His face isn’t exactly pleased. “Stress isn’t good for you. I’ll talk with the headmage. Just so you know, you’re always welcome at Pomefiore.” Preferably permanently.

“Let’s go to the main event, my love.” Dream (Y/N) extends her hand to Dream Riddle, who gladly takes it. (Y/N) is pretty sure she heard someone shriek a bit when the cafe warped. 

⋆⭒˚｡⋆☾⋆⭒˚｡⋆

The scent of roses wafts through the lakeside park. Stars dot the sky. (Y/N) is yet again quick to recover, and sees the couple on a checkered picnic blanket.

Riddle wants to run away. This is the conversation that happens at the end of each of his dreams. It’s blatant wish fulfillment, but it staves away most of the yearning during the day.

He finds his words. “...please. Let me preserve my dignity.” His face is comparable to the strawberry tart from the cafe. Leona ignores his plea and lies down on the grass near the couple. “Nah. Besides, I bet octobitch will have an even worse sapfest than whatever your brain could come up with.” Azul makes a face. “Mind your words.” He is ignored.

Jamil and Vil have settled onto the bench facing the meadow where the couple are laying. Dream Riddle has his head on Dream (Y/N)’s arm, and they are holding hands.

Riddle knows the coming conversation beat by beat. “It’s beautiful.” Gray eyes wonder at the sky. “So are you. More so, I’d argue.” Her voice is quiet, but confident. Like she’s speaking facts. “We’ll be together longer than the stars will twinkle in the sky.” A lovestruck smile crowns the statement. “You mean it?” The voice it’s spoken in wavers with the threat of tears. “I know it. We’ll live here, with our friends, and each other. We won’t have to do anything we don’t want to. I’ll take you out every night and day, if you want it. I’ll do anything so you’ll be happy.” The real Riddle is currently staring at the prefect. She isn’t reacting, but her gaze is soft. Is it pity she’s feeling?

He sighs. He’ll be clowned on for the rest of his life by Azul, and he pleads to the Seven that Ace and Floyd will never have any word of this. He jumps at the feeling of a hand on his shoulder.

“...Hey. Don’t feel bad. Dreams come from the subconscious or something.” (Y/N) considered her next words. “We can go hang out somewhere cool if you want. Just ask.” She figured his mind has just blended some old romance movie and his want for rebellion without punishment together. “Thank you, prefect.” Riddle smiles with a relieved look.

That’s the queue for Malleus to change the dream into Leona’s.

700 Follower Special AU Just for You All!

Co-authored by @squidwen (All borders provided by CafeKitsune)

Inspirations: The Rescuers/Rescuers Down Under, Great Mouse Detective, Lady and the Tramp, The Aristocats, Oliver & Company, Bolt, Princess and the Frog, etc.

CW: Exploitation, child endangerment. (NOTE: No NSFW elements will be referenced or alluded to, nor will this AU allow such elements to be included.)

The world is a dangerous place. Hazards occur naturally or otherwise on a daily basis, people fall through the cracks in society; it seems like the most that ‘kindness’ affords is the attention of those willing to take advantage of it. 

And this attention seems to be currently directed…at Yuu. 

Yuu is still young, likely no more than 12. In a world that seems to have it out for Yuu, the orphanage is maybe the last bastion of safety until The One comes walking through to officially make them a part of their family. But again, it’s been 12 years, so none can blame them if that hope is starting to wane.

Dire Crowley touts himself as a generous, benevolent caretaker; which is a funny way to say ‘Neglectful’ and ‘Exploitative’. Yuu doesn’t get a chance to find this out until after the whirlwind that was their adoption settles. The man seems to care more about appearances, and where his next hefty payout will come from. So then it falls on Yuu to keep the home looking presentable, Crowley looking generous, and the indentured servitude swept under the rug. 

Not all attention is bad, though. Unseen by human society, the Animal Kingdom keeps its eyes trained to lend a claw out to the vulnerable. The National Rescue Conglomerate, or NRC, are a group of animals from all across Twisted Wonderland who answer the call for help wherever they hear it. The Seven Delegates may not agree on everything, but the one thing they can agree on is that someone will answer a call of distress. 

Said Delegates are:

Riddle → Hedgehog with a prickly temper

Leona → Lion who only seems lazy until the going gets rough

Azul → Coconut Octopus that has quite the reach of influence

Kalim → Otter trying to do more for himself than just float along

Vil → Peacock who’s fanning out to teach a new generation of Rescuers

Idia → British Blue cat who rarely ‘paws’es his games for anything

Malleus → Komodo Dragon with a reputation as fearsome as his fantasy counterpart

Other Members of the NRC/characters include:

Queendom of Roses Representatives

Deuce → Rabbit with a penchant for perfectly timed traps

Ace → Flamingo who’s sleight-of-feather makes for a great distraction

Trey → Tortoise that always has something cookin’ under that shell

Cater → Butterfly so social, he’s heard everything

Sunset Savannah Squadron

Ruggie → Hyena willing to laugh in the face of danger

Jack → Wolf with an affinity for leading the pack

Coral Sea Set

Jade and Floyd → Moray Eels more than happy to put the squeeze on trouble

Scalding Sands Squad

Jamil → Cobra with words that have plenty of bite of their own

Pyroxene Posse

Epel → Cygnet learning how to navigate the world with grace

Rook → Seagull with a keen eye for detail

Lamentation Isle League

Ortho → Electronic Toy Mouse that knows when and when not to play around

Briar Valley Vanguard

Lilia → Vampire Bat with adopted kids and a lot of history under his wings

Silver → Squirrel that doesn’t find himself usually one for chatter

Sebek → Crocodile with enough heft to tip the scales in his favor

Shaftland Animal Sanctuary

Niege LeBlanc → A Human running an animal sanctuary with his Seven Adoptive Fathers

But even with their help, Yuu won’t be completely out of the woods. Crowley keeps a few ‘pets’ he’s willing to deploy to get them back:

Sam → Poison dart frog

Ashton → Stag

Crewel → Dalmatian

Trein → Owl

Who might be the ones to help rescue Yuu from their situation, and what might happen from there? Will it be smooth sailing once out from under Crowley or will there be others out looking to get Yuu in their clutches? Would they try to return to their orphanage? Maybe their story ends in the joining of a family that actually has their interests in heart? Do they forgo humanity altogether and just live among the animals that so cared for them up until this point?

This AU was built with the immense patience and help of Squidwen. We offer it out to you all as a sort of ‘Follower Milestone’ gift for everyone, since I recently reached 700 folks following me. What we are offering in this AU is:

A chance for you all to throw your OCs in to see how they handle trouble in the form of a real-world animal. Be it through art, writing, roleplay with your friends, This post and AU is more or less a sandbox for folks to play around in!

I’ll be occasionally posting pics depending on what I see/find time to doodle. For reference FOR those doodles, below both Squidwen and I have found where each of our own OCs fit into this general world:

DeVerre and Eugenio → Orphans from the same institution, ‘adopted’ by Crowley to be sold to the highest bidder. 

(Squidwen’s OCs)

Verrick → White Persian Cat (Wears a tailcoat).

Seth → Giant Pacific Octopus (Needs a pipe that blows bubbles)!!

Tallis → Hummingbird (Wears a belt and aviator goggles).

Billy → Black Bear (Wears a snorkel parka hood).

Basil → Burmese Python (still has his purple pince-nez, and maybe a legwarmer around his throat)

(Trinket’s OCs)

Albert → Fox (wears a carf)

Tidus → Giant Mudskipper (Big ol’ glasses)

Lázaro → Xoloitzcuintle (skele birthmarks)

Levi → Rock Lobster (blue markings)

Galen → Stray Mutt (hat/poncho or bandana)

Of course, with Protagonists, there usually are antagonists (all of which for this AU are human):

Rebekya Balanaga (Squidwen)

The prim, pale owner of the modeling agency Pearls of Ophenheim. DeVerre especially catches her eye. The girl has unusual silver hair and very pale skin; something that’ll cause a fuss and stir attention in magazines, she hopes. Heels, camera angles, and a ton of make-up, and no one will be able to tell that a child is working for her.

→ She has a pet albino python called Princess.

Honest John and Gidel

Just two, hardworking fellas on the look out for their next employee or circus act. Children make excellent workers, especially those who don’t have much. Yuu is especially of interest to them, given how dextrous they seem. Would they make a good trapeze artist? Or contortionist - given the right training? Or, heck, maybe they’d be happy to just do all the menial tasks around Playful Land, right?

Aadesh Sona and Mr Rajesh Khan (Trinket)

These gentlemen are vital when it comes to producing anything. Animal-testing is the aim of the game for these two, but at times, testing on animals can prove slow, and even a waste of time. Why test chemicals on rabbits and mice when you can just skip to human trials? And since DeVerre and Yuu have been “adopted” by Crowley, no one will stop to ask where they are.

→ Aadesh and Mr Khan as well have their own pets. Basil the Burmese Python being Aadesh's, and a tiger named Shakti. 

As for our own OCs, Eugenio and DeVerre do manage to escape from Crowley’s clutches; with the help of the orphanage cat: Verrick. He sensed something was off with Crowley the moment he stepped through the door. Fearing for the children’s safety, he calls a meeting with the NRC to discuss saving them.

Both of us hope you'll enjoy the premise and find a bit of fun coming up with little scenarios for your OCs to get into. I specifically want to say how grateful I am to have 700 of y'all following for TWST content or the like and I hope to offer more fun things in either interactions, chats, or lil doodles of our characters doing stuff. I esp. wanna thank Squidwen for the help in concocting this whole thing. It's been so much fun to RP with ya and look forward to writing even more UvU

"So? Why are you asking about my accident?"

The moment the words left his lips, you could feel a strange feeling course through your veins. A warm, tingly sensation could be felt on your collarbone, as no doubt the words written there were reacting to the presence of the man sitting before you.

It had been terribly exhausting adapting to Twisted Wonderland, given how chaotic your new friends were and how incredibly run-down Ramshackle Dorm was. Not only were you now expected, to keep up with the curriculum of NRC, but also be the headmaster's errand-runner. Which brings you back to the current conversation.

After the numerous accidents that had befallen several promising players for the upcoming Spelldrive tournament, the headmaster requested, no, ordered you to investigate the suspicious circumstances. So here you are, after having investigated several students who had gotten injured, standing in the cafeteria with your friends, asking the second-year student what exactly happened during the incident in the kitchen.

What you didn't expect, however, was to find out that Jamil Viper, the person who got injured in said incident, was your soulmate.

Another joke fate played on you, was that soulmates didn't exist in Twisted Wonderland. They were nothing more than a trope in fiction, poetic devices used to dramatise romances. But for you and your world, finding your soulmate is something so tremendously precious, it's considered the best thing that could happen to someone. Most people had "hello" or "hey" written as their mark, you were fortunate that your mark was something so identifiable.

'So? Why are you asking about my accident?'

You had always hoped to find your soulmate, the one who would be your other half, only you didn't expect the bond to be one-sided.

You took a deep breath and try to compose yourself before meeting his charcoal eyes. "We're here at the headmage's behest."

Jamil hummed, crossing his arms and contemplating. "The headmage?" he mumbled quietly. "Huh... Well okay."

He continued recounting the events of the previous night, while Kalim interjected occasionally, eager to join the conversation. But you found yourself lost in Jamil's voice, smooth like honey, flowing with a baritone richness that sent shivers down your spine. His eyes, sharp and glinting with intensity when he was deep in thought, held your attention like a mesmerizing spell. The way his dark hair fell neatly, framing the right side of his face, added to his undeniable allure.

The thrumming sensation on your collarbone persisted, as if your soulmate mark was screaming at you to take action. And you wanted to. You wanted to tell him, tell him how much he means to you, but you knew that he wouldn't be able to understand or reciprocate.

"Because we're not talking about me here!" You're broken out of your trance as Jamil exclaimed, flustered by Kalim's words. From there, your focus is back on the new clue Jamil has given you, and with an inkling of who the culprit might be, you left the cafeteria with the group in search of a certain hyena.

Days turned into weeks as you got wrapped up in the shenanigans of one dorm after another. It was frustrating and draining, and it didn't help that you were also trying to balance everything while getting used to the strange land.

Having found yourself growing increasingly conscious of your spending habits, given Crowley’s tight budget for Ramshackle, you decided to start cooking dinner for yourself and Grim in the cafeteria kitchen. Crowley had graciously given you permission to use the school kitchen after you made very valid points about how unusable the Ramshackle kitchen was, while making you promise to keep your gremlin cat out of the kitchen for safety. And with Sam generously giving you discounts on groceries knowing your situation, you found yourself frequenting the kitchen. It was rather calming and helped you unwind after a stressful day.

It also helps that your soulmate also frequented the kitchen.

It all came as a shock when you discovered that he was personally in charge of preparing each meal for Kalim and testing for poison. It seemed so bizarre, so different from what you were used to. You had known that he was Kalim’s caretaker since they were children, but you couldn't fathom how he managed to handle everything as a student, let alone when he was younger. But like everything else in Twisted Wonderland, you learned to accept it. This wasn’t a fantasy novel where characters had tragic backstories for the sake of character development; this was their real life, and you couldn’t just impose your values on them.

Still, you can’t deny that Jamil working in the kitchen is a delightful sight. He moves with precision and grace, like it’s a dance he’s practised a thousand times before. You can see the passion in his eyes as he creates his culinary masterpieces. He takes pride in every dish he makes, and it shows in the way he carefully plates each one. You can tell that he's been doing this for a long time, and he's become quite skilled at it.

As he finishes up his dish, he offers you a taste, and it's impossible to not be impressed by the explosion of flavours in your mouth. You compliment him on his cooking skills, and he smiles, seeming genuinely pleased by your words. In return, you often let him taste your creations as well, and as you started exchanging compliments and criticisms with each other, a gentle friendship between the two of you started to form.

You’re not sure if it’s from the soulmate bond or your personal interest in him, but undeniably, you find yourself eagerly soaking up every piece of information you could find on Jamil like a parched sponge absorbing water after a long drought.

Every little bit of him makes your heart soar, like how despite his reserved demeanour, there's a quiet confidence about him that's hard to miss, how he handles unexpected situations with ease, or the glimpses of a mischievous glint in his eye when he thinks no one is looking, but you notice it easily because your attention is on him invariably. You adore how naturally he shows his care for others, including you: the tender hand he places on shelves or tables to prevent you from hitting your head when you get up, the kind cautionary warnings he gives you when you’re using a knife or cooking, his soothing touch full of patience as he takes care of your injuries when you’ve gotten too distracted by him.

Your heart yearns to see more of him, to learn every single thing about him.

You are deeply in love with him.

But the gravity of your soulmate bond wasn’t something you could tell him. You don't want to pressure him into feeling a certain way or risk changing the dynamic of your relationship, especially with his already long list of worries. So, you decide to simply keep it to yourself, content with the friendship the two of you currently have.

Jamil Viper found that fate was incredibly unfair.

Being born into a family of servitude, it was a necessary skill to be able to blend in with the crowd. While there had been many times when Jamil wished he could break free from the mould and show his true potential, it was ingrained in him to never outdo Kalim and to constantly keep his family's position in mind. He was used to living in the shadows, never drawing attention to himself.

So, when someone from another world began to show an overwhelming amount of interest in him, Jamil was taken aback.

Things started to change when he started cooking in the cafeteria kitchen with you. He had enjoyed taking his time and working without interruptions in the kitchen; it was a rare moment when he could be alone with his thoughts. And while that changed when you started showing up in the cafeteria kitchen more often, Jamil also found himself enjoying the small talk and banter that would occasionally happen between the two of you while cooking. He had been startled when you started talking to him and asking him questions about his life, but you seemed genuinely interested in getting to know him. It was a new feeling for him, and he didn't quite know how to respond.

He notices how you would watch him intently as he cooked, pleasantly surprised by your apparent admiration for his culinary skills. Your praises gave him the feeling that his efforts were truly acknowledged. He even found himself looking forward to the times when you would show up, excited to see what new recipes he could whip up with your assistance.

But what surprises him the most was that your attention is always on him. Even when other people are around, you seem to be looking at him, and it makes him feel seen in a way he never had before. He doesn't know why you were so interested in him, why you seem to support him no matter what, there to offer a kind word or a helping hand reassuringly. Without a doubt, he is grateful for your presence, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to your kindness than met the eye.

You are different from anyone else he has ever met. Coming from a different world, you don't care about his family's position or his connection to the Asim heir. You see him for who he is, and that makes him feel seen and appreciated.

Your attention had made him uncomfortable in the beginning, but now he can't deny that he likes it. He likes being noticed by you, being acknowledged, and appreciated for who he is.

It's not until one day that the truth hits him like a basketball to the face.

He's in love with you.

He yearns to spend the rest of his days making you happy, to create a future with you that was filled with love and warmth. He envisions days spent cooking together, the aroma of spices and flavours melding in the air as you laugh and savour each other's company. He finds himself craving your presence like a parched wanderer in a desert that craves water. He wants to hold your hand, to wrap his arms around you, to claim you as his own in a way that was both tender and possessive. His love for you has bloomed into a magnificent wildflower, bursting with vibrant colours and life, but also carrying a touch of greed. Like a protective vine, he curls around you, unwilling to let anyone come too close, fearing you'd wither in their presence.

He wants you to be his, desperately so.

But as much as he wants to express his feelings, he knew that it wasn’t the right time. The friendship that had blossomed between you two was something too precious; he didn't dare jeopardise his bond with the one person who made him feel like he mattered.

And so he keeps his feelings to himself and continued to come to the kitchen every day, cooking and chatting with you, content to just be near you, helping and caring for you in whatever way he could. Helping you wash the dishes, learning your favourite foods so he could make them for you, getting extra ingredients for you, he puts his mindfulness to full use when it comes to you. He cherishes the precious and fleeting moments you spend together, fearing the day you leave and go back to your original world.

One night, you walked into the kitchen looking troubled and lost in thought. Jamil couldn't help but notice something was amiss. You didn't even acknowledge his presence as you went straight to the fridge to grab some ingredients for cooking. Concerned, he speaks up. "Is everything okay?" he asks, "You look a bit troubled, is something bothering you today?"

You let out a heavy sigh and turned to face him. "Not really. I just couldn't fall asleep last night, so I'm a bit sleep deprived," you replied.

Jamil nodded in understanding. "I see. Hmm… I can brew tea that can help improve sleep quality. Would you like to try some?" he offered.

"Are you sure? I know you're very busy," you said, not wanting to be another burden on him.

A wry smile appeared on his face as he walked closer to you. "You're too considerate," he said as he playfully poked your forehead. "I have plenty of time to brew tea, so don't worry about it." He smiled as he started boiling water. "By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what’s on your mind? It’s unlike you to lose sleep unless something's bothering you."

You hesitated, knowing full well that he was what had kept you awake last night. While you wanted to be content with your current friendship, you suppose it was in your nature, given the soulmate bond, to be incredibly greedy. It was selfish of you to hope, but you yearned to be bonded to him like lovers were. "Well, it's a long story," you eventually answered.

"I don't mind listening. You can tell the story while I'm making the tea," he replied nonchalantly. "Just tell me whatever you’re comfortable with sharing."

Well, here goes nothing.

"Uhm... To start, have you ever heard of soulmates?"

Jamil thought for a bit before nodding. "I've heard of them, yes," he answered as he poured hot water into a teapot. "It's where two people are 'destined to be with' each other, right? I've heard of them before. Why do you ask?" he turned to face you with a curious expression.

You fidgeted with your hands, unsure of how to approach the subject. "It's just, in my world, they’re a very real thing." You took a deep breath and began to explain to Jamil about soulmates in your world—how it's believed that every person has a special bond with someone else, their soulmate, and that when they meet, they just know that they were meant to be together.

Jamil listened intently as you spoke, noticing the wistful look in your eyes as you talk about soulmates.

"At first, I wasn't sure about it either," you admitted. "But then... I met him."

Jamil's expression changed, a bitter wave crashing over him as he realized that you've found someone who had captured your heart. He had been content with being just friends, never daring to hope for more, but now it seemed that you had found someone else who made your heart sing.

"I see," he said, his movements a bit stiff as he poured hot water over the tea leaves. "It sounds like a beautiful thing, to be so connected to someone else," he commented, albeit a bit stiffly.

This stiffness goes unnoticed by you though, as you nodded, feeling a little embarrassed for bringing the conversation up. "Well, the thing is, I had hoped to find my soulmate. And... to have found him here in Twisted Wonderland, yet my connection to him is one-sided... I'm sorry; I know it sounds silly... It's just been on my mind a lot lately," you admitted.

Jamil shook his head. "Don't apologise. I'm glad you told me, it must be really important to you." He said, distracting himself by pouring the tea into a mug. "Here you go," he said, handing it to you. "It’s chamomile tea. I hope it helps you sleep better tonight."

"Thank you," you replied, taking a sip of the warm liquid. It's fragrant and soothing, and you felt a sense of calm wash over you.

Despite the sharp pang in Jamil's chest as he came to terms with the fact that you belonged to someone else, he couldn't help but be captivated by the image you paint of your soulmate. His heart clenched with bittersweet emotions as he pushed aside his own longing, resigned to the reality of unrequited feelings, as he had always done. He looked at you and asked, "So, what is your soulmate like?" His voice trembled slightly, betraying the turmoil of emotions within him.

You hesitated, torn between revealing the truth and keeping your feelings hidden. But as you met his intense gaze, you felt a surge of courage well up within you. Taking a deep breath, you described the person who holds the other half of your soul.

"He's incredibly responsible and resourceful," you said, your words tinged with a shy vulnerability. "He's always looking out for others, taking great care of the people around him. He's thoughtful, kind, and selfless."

As you spoke, Jamil's mind raced with a mix of emotions. He couldn't help but see himself reflected in the description you gave, recognizing the qualities that you admired in your soulmate. Could it be possible that you're describing him? His heart pounded loudly in his chest as he tried to keep his excitement in check. He cleared his throat and asked, "And... what about their hobbies?"

Okay, this is it. "He enjoys basketball and dancing quite a lot."

You watched as the gears turned in his head, his eyes widened and his breath caught in his throat as he realised what you had said. "Me?" he asked, his voice barely audible as a flush settled across his face, his emotions swirling like a tempest within him.

You nodded shyly, confirming his suspicions. Jamil's heart skips a beat, and he could hardly believe his luck. "I... I'm your soulmate...?" he stammered, his voice barely audible, but the joy in his eyes was unmistakable.

You nodded again, hesitating for a moment before speaking, "I... I’ll show you," you said as you start to unbutton the top buttons of your uniform. He raised his eyebrows in alarm, his gaze flitting between your face and the wall, seemingly flustered by your words. You could barely hold back a laugh at his adorable reaction, but you composed yourself and pulled down the collar of your shirt, revealing the words written neatly on your collarbone in a familiar handwriting—his handwriting.

Jamil stared at the mark, his expression unreadable. The words written there are in his own handwriting, unmistakably so. He reaches out tentatively, his fingertips grazing the letters as if trying to confirm that what he's seeing is real. He feels as your body thrums at his touch, and a wave of possessiveness washes over him, seeing his mark on you as if you belonged to him. For the first time in his life, something, no, someone, finally belonged to him completely.

"This is what I meant," you said quietly. "It's my soulmate mark. The first words you ever said to me."

He looked up at you, his eyes filled with a mixture of surprise and tenderness. "I... I can't believe it," he stammered, his voice thick with emotion. "This is... this is incredible."

You smiled, feeling a rush of warmth spread through your chest. "It's real, Jamil," you murmur, cupping his hand on your collarbone. "We're soulmates."

He nodded slowly, still unable to take his eyes off the mark on your skin. "I never imagined... I never thought it would be like this." He looked at you with a newfound sense of possessiveness, as if he was realizing for the first time that you were truly meant for each other. "You're mine," he said in a low, husky voice. "My soulmate."

Your breath hitched at his words, and a shiver ran down your spine. You could feel the depth of his emotions, the intensity of his love, and it left you feeling weightless. "Yes, Jamil," you said airily. "I'm yours, and... you're mine."

He smiled tenderly before leaning in, his lips brushing against yours in a gentle, yet possessive, kiss. It feels like fireworks going off in your head as you realise that the bond you had been searching for your whole life has finally solidified. You deepen the kiss, your arms wrapping around his neck as you pull him closer, lost in the moment of pure connection. When you finally pull away, both of you are left breathless, smiling widely at each other.

Jamil had always thought fate had pulled a cruel joke on him. But if fate had brought him a soulmate from another world, maybe it wasn’t such a bad joke after all.

What went down in TWST RP in a week-

Covers 3/24 - 3/29

Malleus insulted and hurt more people, even the people he loves. He got some personal beef to settle…

Sebek and his mother made their grand enterance onto Tumblr!

Lilia has sneak into Sebek’s account and posted some of Sebek’s baby pictures.

Lilia put a bar of soap in a pot that Sebek and Silver were cooking with. Rest in peace Diasomnia…🙏

Rumors have it that Sebek has a crush on a human! Shocking! He always said he despises humans but, look at that twist!

Sebek meets his future child, and he stop working for a bit. Just don’t look at the family drama that occurred.

Diasomnia’s Laundry Room got a bubble issue.

NRC host club has been gaining attention and popularity since the debut of their newest member!

Kalim met his future child like majority of the boys have.

Jamil came back after two days of not doing anything. (Suspicious)

Leona is now with his former ex-girlfriend! And there are already bets made…

Ruggie future child is speaking some unknown language, I think nobody in Twisted Wonderland knows.

Idia setting up his future children up for adoption after them saying anime is mid…

Rollo came back after 10 days, should we even tell him about what happened?

Was jamils yutu like that before he got transported to BTL TWST? or was he like "my parent said I'm a handsome boy :D!" Cause if it's the second one then that's just tragic. It he was always feeling lowkey suicidal and guilty for his existence, then do you think Yuu ever blamed themselves for that? Especially in the current time line, cause I'm just thinking of that scene from turning red where the mom is just "and if i ever taught you that then I'm sorry". Also i can't imagine jamil ever wanting any if his kids to feel bad because they exist, like it's somehow their fault, but that's how the cookie always seems to crumble for him doesn’t it...

(Bro should just make a plan to go to like. The far east or Port o bliss and just live on the downlow. It's a huge stretch and an even bigger risk but like. His literal life and family is on the line here so does it really matter how big the risk is?)

Jamil! Yutu is in the que to get his post soon! The next set of posts is Azul, Rook, Jamil, and then Vil. I'm working on Azul's right now and should have it posted sometime friday/saturday.

He wasn't always lowkey suicidal no. Did he feel responsible for any poverty he and Yuu endured? Sure! But he was able to get a job when he got older and was very determined to work towards a better future for you both. He grew up very proud of who he was and the few connections to his father that he had were a big part of that; it's why the bad actors of the future and the Blot Phantoms were able to use Jamil's story against him so easily. His biggest problem is that he's too smart for his own good so he fails to see the forest for the trees. He evaluates the curse on Yuu and the brutal death of his father and concludes that if he hadn't been born this wouldn't have happened. That he is responsible for their suffering because blaming a single person is easier than an entire system. "You are your parent's dreams made reality." He doesn't think you deserve a nightmare though... it's one thing to struggle while he was a child, it's another for him to be the root of all of your suffering.

(Jamil really seems proud of his home, so I think he would want to fight for a future where he could live there. But he's not above uprooting everything and living somewhere else if it means his kid gets to be ok, Yuu was right about him being his dream made reality. And he won't risk that for anything.)

Forgot how BADLY I wanted to know about the Main Boys' roommates.

The two dudes that have to share a room with Adeuce, the two freshman that main character stuff is always happening to. Challenged the Housewarden and fought multiple Overblotters AND competed in the VDC? They are just living in Adeuce's world.

Epel and Jack's roommates, could be the most picture perfect example of their dorms freshmen. Do they get along?

Ruggie's roommate that watches him come back from random jobs and stash a bunch of food he is NOT sharing

Ortho's roommates, housewarden's lil robot bro is now bunking with you

The poor soul that has to sit through Silver's 53 alarms every morning.

The three guys that listen to Sebek discuss his lord and savior Malleus Draconia every night (and experience his portrait every time they look at Sebek's side of the room)

What about upperclassmen's old roommates? Can I assume the sophomore roommate duos are just the freshmen roommate quartets if Cater and Trey are anything to go by? Do they pick these duos or is it randomized between the 4? Wonder if any of the roommates for the sophomores and the juniors the year prior saw who they were rooming with again and went "Crap! Not again!" The ones that realized HE wasn't in their duo and celebrated that first day back to class. Imagine the two that roomed with the Tweels. Those who roomed with Lilia (did people room with Lilia?). And Rook. At any point in his school career. Imagining having shared a room with your housewarden. Those roommates Leona couldn't WAIT to get away from. Who roomed with Idia Shroud and how did he survive? Jamil's roommate is apparently a heavy sleeper that isn't bothered by my guy's night time routine, but do you realize this is the only guy that shares a room with one of the Overblotters?! How does he feel about that?

Did Malleus, Vil, and Kalim have roommates back in the day? Imagine Riddle’s old roommates and how they roomed with him for like a week before he just moves out because what the heck he's HOUSEWARDEN now?!

To realize your old/current roommate is in fact a protagonist and you are just a side character in their story

TWST, I BURN WITH QUESTIONS!

An Interview with Lydia (My Yuu ♡) Part One

One of the students apart of NRC's newspaper club got the opportunity to interview Lydia, the girl that appeared from another world! Though magicless, she became a student at NRC, and currently resides in Octavinelle. Here is the first part of the published interview! Enjoy ♡

(Please note that Lydia resides in an AU where NRC is an actual college, like my friend Ian (@crystallizsch) has for her OC Yuusha. Ramshackle and Grim do not exist in this AU, and Lydia is not in-game Yuu)

Interviewer: Hello, students and staff of NRC! I'm here today with our classmate from another world, Lydia Sweet. Thanks again for agreeing to this interview, Lydia.

Lydia: I... didn't really have a choice...

Interviewer: Now then, let's get started! We'll do some basic questions first, before going to the student submitted ones. So, Lydia, is that your full name?

Lydia: Yes, Lydia is my full name.

Interviewer: And do you have any nicknames you go by?

Lydia: I have a couple. Lyddie is the one most people use, though Lyds is a close second. Some people have specific names they call me, like Floyd and his nickname Leaf Sheep.

Interviewer: I see. And you're a 2nd year, right?

Lydia: Yes, that's right.

Interviewer: What club are you apart of?

Lydia: Well, I was a member of the Board Game Club... before...

Interviewer: Before you and the housewarden of Ignihyde broke up?

Lydia: ...

Interviewer: Touchy subject?

Lydia: I'd rather not talk about it, if that's alright...

Interviewer: What a shame... I'm sure everyone's dying to know what happened.

Lydia: ...

Interviewer: Alright, alright. I won't push it. So, if you're not in the Board Game Club anymore, what club are you in?

Lydia: I'm not in any club, really. I usually just join Jamil, Ace, and Floyd during their club meetings...

Interviewer: So, the Basketball Club?

Lydia: I don't play, though. Sports aren't really my thing... I just sit in the stands and watch.

Interviewer: Is there a club you'd like to join?

Lydia: Well... maybe the Science Club? I'd rather be in the Board Game Club, though...

Interviewer: Do you miss the Board Game Club?

Lydia: I do... even if it meant more time spent with Azul, every club meeting was always so fun. I didn't want to leave, but...

Interviewer: You felt like you had to?

Lydia: *She doesn't give a response, but nods her head yes after hesitating a moment*

Interviewer: How did you end up in Twisted Wonderland anyway?

Lydia: I was walking home after taking my cat to the vet. He was in his carrier, and I know I had it locked, but somehow... he got out. I chased after him, and ended up falling down a hole.

Interviewer: A hole?

Lydia: *She nods her head* The next thing I know, I was landing in the middle of a runway, decorated with flowers.

Interviewer: The Fairy Gala.

Lydia: Yes, the Fairy Gala. Leona was leading the group, while Kalim and Jamil followed. I landed between them.

Interviewer: Must have been quite the scene.

Lydia: I'm sure it was... I lost consciousness upon impact, so all I remember is waking up to Kalim leaning over my face, and Leona and Jamil staring down at me behind him.

Interviewer: Where was your cat?

Lydia: Throwing a fit in Leona's arms, trying to get to me... He must have been so worried.

Interviewer: I'm sure they all were.

Lydia: It was all so confusing... Nobody knew how I ended up there. And they couldn't really stop the Fairy Gala... So...

Interviewer: ... You joined the Fairy Gala?

Lydia: Yep!

Interviewer: On your first day in Twisted Wonderland...?

Lydia: Yep... Trust me, they didn't really want me too. They wanted me to go see the nurse, or the Headmage. But the gala was already happening, and they couldn't risk their plan...

Interviewer: Being thrown into a new situation like this must have been frightening... I can only imagine how lost you were.

Lydia: Oh, I thought I was losing my mind... or that this had to be one big dream.

Interviewer: Yet, you never woke up.

Lydia: *She nods her head* It's hard to believe at first... being in a whole new world. Sometimes it's easier to pretend it's a dream, then to face reality.

Interviewer: Do you still think this is a dream?

Lydia: *She laughs* Oh, no. Not at all. That's just how I coped my first day here. Telling myself, "This must be a dream" or "This can't be real"

Interviewer: So what happened after the Fairy Gala?

Lydia: I got examined by the nurse, and went to see the Headmage. Since I didn't have anywhere to go, Kalim offered for me to stay in Scarabia, which Crowley agreed to. He's supposed to be finding me a way home.

Interviewer: You live in the Scarabia dorm, then?

Lydia: I did, before I was transferred to Octavinelle...

Interviewer: What made you want to transfer to Octavinelle?

Lydia: I didn't... it's... a bit of a long story...

Interviewer: Well... Do you like being a member of Octavinelle?

Lydia: I like it more than I thought I would, which is... nice...

Interviewer: How tall are you?

Lydia: 163 cm

Interviewer: When's your birthday?

Lydia: October 20th

Interviewer: Are you single?

Lydia: *Her face turns red, caught off guard by the question* ... What?

Interviewer: Are you single?

Lydia: *She hesitates a moment before responding* Yes, I am...

Interviewer: What do you look for in a partner?

Lydia: I... I don't-

Interviewer: Do you have a preference when it comes to gender?

Lydia: No, but-

Interviewer: So you're more interested in personality, then?

Lydia: I have to be friends with someone first, before I'm able to develop feelings for them... I'm sorry, but these questions seem... very sudden.

Interviewer: I'm just going in the order I was given. If the question makes you uncomfortable, you don't have to answer it.

Lydia: It's not that. I was just... caught off guard. I wasn't expecting questions about my love life...

Interviewer: More people are interested in your love life than you know, Lydia. We've had dozens of students submit questions wondering about it.

Lydia: Really...?

Interviewer: Yes. Take my next question for example... why did you and Idia break up?

Lydia: ... I'm not answering that.

Interviewer: It was worth a shot... Moving on, what's your ideal first date?

Lydia: Mini golf! I've always wanted to try it, and it's... actually my dream date.

Interviewer: To play mini golf?

Lydia: I know it sounds silly, but I think it'd be fun!

Interviewer: Did Idia ever take you to play mini golf?

Lydia: Oh, no I... never brought it up with him, actually. I figured it wouldn't be his thing...

Interviewer: What do you like to do in your free time?

Lydia: I like to play video games! From otomes, to mobile rhythm games, to handheld consoles like the Nintendo DS and Switch! While I love my Gamecube, I don't really play it as much as I used to. Same with my Gameboy Advance.

Interviewer: Anything else you like to do?

Lydia: I like to read, and write... listen to music... I like to bake sometimes...

Interviewer: Do you collect anything? Cards, coins...

Lydia: Stuffed animals. I don't try to collect them, it just sorta... happens. *She laughs* I'm particularly fond of Sanrio, or anything cute really. Honestly, with how much nail polish I have, I guess I collect that too. I love painting my nails.

Interviewer: Outside of the school's uniform, what sort of outfits do you like to wear?

Lydia: Well, usually I just wear a graphic t-shirt and some leggings. Maybe a cute top, if I'm feeling fancy. *She laughs* When I'm in the mood for it, I'll wear a nice dress. Something cute, that makes me feel pretty. I like my pajamas, but I really only wear them when I'm in my dorm.

Interviewer: Do you have a favorite outfit?

Lydia: I do... this one.

Interviewer: I'm guessing you're a fan of My Sweet Piano?

Lydia: Oh, yes! Some of my friends like to joke that I am her *She laughs*

Interviewer: Do you wear this outfit often?

Lydia: Not really... I mainly only wear it for special occasions, like when I'm interested in someone...

Interviewer: So it's your date outfit, then?

Lydia: Oh, I guess you could call it that, yeah...

Interviewer: What's your favorite food?

Lydia: Cheese fries!

Interviewer: Your favorite drink?

Lydia: I like sweet tea, or sparkling water... but only if it's flavored.

Interviewer: What's your least favorite food?

Lydia: I've been told I'm a picky eater before... I don't like condiments... or pumpkin... or popcorn... or pickles... or raw fish...

Interviewer: Your least favorite drink?

Lydia: Soda... I used to drink it all the time before I quit, and I surprisingly don't miss it.

Interviewer: What's your favorite subject?

Lydia: Since I don't have magic, there's only a few classes I can attend. I think alchemy is interesting.

Interviewer: What do you do while everyone is in class?

Lydia: Oh, I'm usually working at Sam's shop, or the Mostro Lounge.

Interviewer: Well that's all the time we have for now. Join us tomorrow, where Lydia will be answering questions submitted by you, the students!

Lydia: I thought you said some of the questions I've already answered were submitted by others..?

Interviewer: Yes, by me.

Lydia: Oh...

Interviewer: And remember, these interviews are exclusive to NRC's newspaper! Now on Magicam, at NRCnewspaperclub! Until next time!

Lydia: If this is a newspaper, why are you talking like we're live on TV...?

Here's the first part to Lydia's interview! ♡ Since it got so long, I decided to split it up in two parts. The first part being general questions, while the second will feature the questions you submitted! ♡ (Feel free to submit more, if you'd like ♡)

rewatching Steven Universe is so wild.

i forgot most of the early seasons. i forgot what pearl and amethyst looked like before Steven Universe the Movie. i love lion so much. pinkest lad, cat.

now to fantasize about Crossovers with current fixations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Steven Universe x Twst

Steven getting transported to Twisted Wonderland, having to deal with a new canned worms.

He has to deal with, like, 7 traumatized teens(?) and them oberbloting.

Lion always finds a way to Steven.

Steven justs uses his shield during all the overblot fights.

Book 1 - He tells Riddle about his mom during the memory sequence, Riddle gets to see Steven's childhood.

Kinda reminds him of Pearl.

Book 2 - 'This might be weird, but, I'll have to spit on you.' proceeds to spit on the injured students during the investigation. Might accidentally cure Trey's blindness like he did Connie's but, that's probably ok.

Kinda reminds him of Amethyst.

Book 3 - He never really had any bullies nor has gone to school to get bullied, but he'll probably asks what it's like going to school with children your age. Is amazed on how much Azul knows. Admires his intelligence.

Kinda reminds him of Connie? She is the only person he hung out with that went to school.

Book 4 - He can't really sympathize with Jamil, as he lived a life like Kalim. Naive and ignorant to the bad things that happened to him, forgiving the people who hurt him just as easily. Criticizing Kalim as well as his younger self.

Reminds him of some gems under the Diamond's rule before.

STEVEN FUSING IN BOOK 5 DURING THE SDC TRAINING. KALVEN, STEACE, DEVEN, STEVMIL, STROOK, VILEVEN, EPLVEN. I REALLY BADLY WANT TO DRAW THESE FUSIONS.

HIM FINDING CONNIE DURING THE FESTIVAL AND SHES GOING TO RSA.

Book 6 - Understanding of Idia's position. Taking on a role you didn't want, but was born into.

Reminds him of Peridot. Especially with their affinity for electronics.

HIM BUBBLING THE BLOT CRYSTALS BEFORE GRIM EATS THEM!!!

Or Gem!Reader

GR being a fusion or just one is up to y'all.

Asking the first years if trauma then oberbloting happens to everyone human.

Asking questions about humans and their anatomy and autonomy.

Probably poofed in one book. Everyone was scared shitless.

'Are humans always this fragile?' <- during Book 2

Called Jamil, Kalim's pearl at least twice.

Excellent dancer and singer. Vil is amazed.

Asking Rook questions in exchange for information on Gems.

Former Corrupted Gem!Reader?

[unpredictable-probabilities]

Granting Favors || Chapter 15: Synergy

Summary:

After being unable to avoid each other in Flight class, Azul and Jamil address what happened at Ramshackle.

Notes (more at the end):

For Day 2 of AshenViper Week 2024!

Prompt: P.E.

Word Count: 2,535

———

The sun was bright in the sky and sweat was beginning to bead on his forehead, but Riddle still stood at attention and listened carefully to Coach Vargas as he gave the instructions for their Flight class today.

They would have to do the drills that the Spelldrive team did for practice, but modified so they would be a little easier. Coach was currently pairing up students for the exercise.

“Rosehearts and Silver!”

Silver walked over to stand next to Riddle and nodded politely. Riddle nodded back. It was fortunate that he got paired up with someone as competent as Silver. If his performance in these drills would be as good as in the Equestrian Club, they were certain to get a good grade.

“Diamond and Shroud!”

“Hey, partner!” Cater sauntered over to Idia who looked defeated.

“Why am I always paired up with the mega-extrovert?” Idia lamented.

“Because you’ve improved a lot with Diamond’s help,” Coach Vargas pointed out. “Why change what already works, right?” He clapped Idia on the back encouragingly before looking down at his list again.

Idia stumbled forward from the force, but Cater caught him by the arm before he lost his balance.

“Ashengrotto and Viper!” Coach Vargas continued.

Azul was standing next to Silver, and Riddle saw his shoulders tense up.

“Hey, Jammy,” Cater was beside Jamil and he poked the sophomore’s arm. “Aren't you going to him?”

Jamil pursed his lips and walked to stand next to Azul. Both of them stood stiffly without even acknowledging the other’s presence.

Riddle raised an eyebrow. Last week, those two had been scolded by Professor Trein in Defensive Magic class for casting spells on each other, and now this. It wasn't like either of them to be so unfocused in class.

Behind Riddle, he heard Ruggie snort.

“Man, what's wrong with you two?” Ruggie asked as Coach Vargas continued to pair up students. “Jamil, don't tell me you're nervous about the drills.”

“I'm not nervous,” Jamil snapped, frowning at Ruggie.

Before anything else could be said, Coach Vargas blew the whistle which signaled the start of the exercise.

Three pairs would simultaneously hover in the air 10 feet apart and pass the disc back and forth with their partner using magic, all the while remaining on their brooms for five minutes.

Riddle had never seen three Spelldrive discs on the field all at once before, and it was quite exciting to watch when all the pairings happened to be Spelldrive club members or just particularly skilled at the exercise. The discs flew smoothly back and forth with such speed that Riddle sometimes lost track of them. He didn't watch a lot of Spelldrive matches as he was often preoccupied with other matters, but this class might just pique his interest enough for him to watch the upcoming matches.

Azul and Jamil were called on the next set, and Riddle was impressed with how much Azul had improved on his flight skills. However, as the first minute ticked by, he increasingly grew unsteady on his broom. He failed to catch the disc when Jamil passed it to him, and instead it hit him in the glasses and he threw his head back with a pained grunt. Jamil looked alarmed and for a moment it seemed like he was going to fly closer to Azul, but he held himself back and caught the disc once Azul passed it back to him.

After that incident, Jamil's performance worsened as well. He had less control of his broom, and he nearly missed catching the disc twice.

Riddle sighed and shook his head. “Personal issues really should not be brought into class.”

“Personal issues?” Silver furrowed his eyebrows.

“Whatever fight they were having back in Defensive Magic must still be unresolved. Regardless, they should not let such things interfere with their class performance.”

“Ah, I do remember them being scolded in Defensive Magic,” Silver nodded. “It's strange. I have seen Jamil be in worse tempers before, but he still always managed to perform well. I wonder why today is different.”

Riddle frowned thoughtfully, watching as the three pairs ended their turn, and Azul and Jamil were told by Coach Vargas to join the group of other pairs across the field.

Riddle and Silver got called in the next set, and the exercise proved to be just challenging enough to be entertaining. It required use of Riddle’s reflexes and precision in spellcasting, and he could understand why Coach Vargas thought it would be a useful exercise to hone their skills.

Riddle had been right about Silver’s competence; he certainly moved like a knight who had undergone years of training. They passed the disc seamlessly between them, and the five minutes went by smoothly.

After everyone had gone through the exercise, Coach Vargas announced that the pairs who got the lowest grades in each set—the group where Azul and Jamil had joined—would compete with others to get additional points. There were a few grumbles from students who didn't want to go through the exercise again, but most seemed determined, especially since there would be the element of competition this time.

“Diamond and Shroud, you will compete against Ashengrotto and Viper,” Coach Vargas motioned for them to go to the center of the field where two hoops stood as goalposts.

Cater put an arm around Idia’s shoulders. “We can totes win this one!”

Jamil leaned closer towards Azul and whispered something, to which Azul nodded.

“Protect your goals, and score as many as you can in the span of five minutes. Ready…” Coach Vargas lifted the whistle to his mouth.

The four students mounted their brooms.

Coach Vargas tossed the disc upwards where it hovered in the center between the goalposts. He blew the whistle, and the four students shot into the air.

Jamil immediately cast a spell on the disc and took hold of it, then he threw it past Cater and towards Azul who had been waiting at the side.

Azul caught it and quickly threw it over Idia's shoulder and into the goalpost.

The hoop glowed as the disc passed through it and Coach Vargas blew his whistle.

“First point goes to Ashengrotto and Viper!”

Excited murmurs rippled among the crowd; no one had been expecting for a goal to be scored so quickly, especially not from Azul.

Idia was staring wide-eyed at Azul with his mouth open, and Azul smirked at him smugly.

“Okay, for real this time, Dia!” Cater pointed at Idia.

“Back to your starting positions,” Coach Vargas said.

When the whistle sounded, Cater took the disc and flew in a wide curve before shooting it through the hoop.

This time there were actual cheers and claps from the other students.

After that, both pairs became a lot more serious.

Jamil's usual prowess returned, his athleticism and precision showing as he effortlessly weaved through Cater and Idia's defenses while carrying the disc.

Riddle had never seen Azul more skilled on a broom; he was feinting turns and diving towards the goalposts seemingly without fear. He and Jamil communicated entirely wordlessly, they would share a look and immediately know who would take the disc from the opponent and who would toss it through the hoop.

Equally surprising was Idia Shroud being far more verbal. He and Cater shouted phrases at each other that Riddle could only guess were a combination of contemporary slang and language often used on the internet. Riddle wasn't sure he understood most of it, but Cater and Idia perfectly did so.

Cater was agile on his broom, and Idia intercepted the disc multiple times with his powerful spellcasting.

Whatever awkwardness had been between Azul and Jamil in the first exercise was now gone. Riddle was familiar with how well they worked together in Alchemy, and it seemed like they now brought that same competence here in PE. They shared smug glances and even a laugh at one point, and Jamil seemed livelier compared to his usual stoic facade.

Cater took hold of the disc and sped across the field, but Jamil cut through his path and intercepted it. He threw it to Azul on the far end of the field, and Azul caught it before turning and aiming for the goal.

The disc flew from the grip of Azul's spell, freely spinning through the air.

Time seemed to slow down and Riddle felt himself holding his breath in anticipation.

Idia moved to position to block the goal, raising his pen to catch the disc.

Then the disc got caught in a beam of magic and was suddenly yanked sideways away from Idia.

Azul had taken hold of it again and threw it under Idia's raised arm, pushing it clean through the hoop.

The whistle could barely be heard from the loud cheering and clapping of their classmates. Riddle himself was clapping enthusiastically and laughing, carried along by the lively atmosphere.

“Five minutes are up!” Coach Vargas shouted above the noise. “Ashengrotto and Viper win by one point!”

“Oof! Just one point! We’ll get ‘em next time, Dia!” Cater said as the four of them flew back down on the grass.

“I'm not sure I want a next time,” Idia said, but he was grinning at Cater.

“Scared we’ll beat you again?” Azul told Idia as they hopped off their brooms.

“Oh that's rich coming from a guy who only recently learned not to fall off a broom!” Idia shot back.

“You flew really well too, Idia,” Jamil smiled. “Are you and Cater still doing those practices?”

“Yeah,” Idia looked down and his pale cheeks seemed to color a hint of blue. “I mean I still can't fly as well as he does but…”

“Are you kidding? You were amazing!” Cater rushed to Idia and pulled out his phone from his pocket. “We only lost by one point! If we had more time I bet we could have totally won. This deserves to be commemorated!”

He put his arm around Idia, careful not to hit him with the broom he was still holding, and leaned close enough so that the sides of their heads almost touched.

“Smile, bestie!” Cater raised his phone and winked as he took a photo, while Idia gave a shy smile.

Azul and Jamil were walking away but Cater caught up to them, pulling Idia by the arm.

“Wait, wait! Group pic!” Cater stood next to them and raised his phone again. “Hashtag rematch next time!”

All of them smiled at the camera, and after the photo was taken Cater was rattling off compliments about how good they all looked despite being sweaty from the match.

“It seems like they have resolved their issue,” Silver told Riddle as they watched the small group join the others who were waiting for the remaining matches to be done.

Riddle smiled. “Indeed. Competition can really spark camaraderie among NRC students, and I am glad to see that those two are still capable of working well together.”

Silver nodded. “They seem to have been growing closer, from what I've seen in our joint classes. I heard from Sebek and Ace that Azul even slept at Ramshackle the other night after working on their project. They seem to think that those two are in a romantic relationship.”

Riddle’s eyebrows lifted in surprise. “Really? Well, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Ace is gossiping about such things. Though I do wonder how he could have arrived at such a conclusion.”

“Ace said that Azul and Jamil look at each other much like how you and Trey do.”

“What?” Riddle felt his face heat up. “What does that even mean? What does my friendship with Trey have to do with any of this?” he hissed, not wanting anyone else to hear.

Silver looked genuinely surprised at his reaction. “Aren't you two dating?”

“No!” Riddle's face must be positively red by now. What sort of rumors have been going around without his knowledge? What if Trey got upset upon hearing them?

Silver frowned and looked confused.

“Let's just get back to watching the match,” Riddle quickly said and turned back to watching the other students compete in the air, though he could still feel the tips of his ears burning.

—

Azul lagged behind while Idia and Cater headed towards the locker room with the others after class.

“Jamil.” Azul stopped walking when they were nearing the door.

“Yeah?” Jamil turned to him.

Azul waited for their remaining classmates to disappear inside before continuing. “I would like to…” he scratched his nails on his broomstick restlessly. “Apologize. For my behavior yesterday, before I left Ramshackle.”

Jamil was silent for a moment before he replied in a measured voice. “Do you regret it, then?”

Azul looked at him in surprise and confusion. Jamil's face was carefully guarded, but there was an emotion in his eyes that Azul couldn't decipher. Jamil was hoping for a particular answer, but Azul didn’t know which one.

“I didn't want to upset you,” Azul said. “And if I crossed a line…” Sevens, the words really were hard to say. “I'm sorry.”

A soft smile slowly appeared on Jamil’s face. “An apology from Azul Ashengrotto? What brought this on?”

Azul huffed out a chuckle, relieved that Jamil didn't seem upset with him, at least. “This Flight class reminded me how well we work together, and I wouldn't want to lose that just because I upset you with an impulsive decision.”

“You didn't… I wasn't…” Jamil looked down at his shoes and back up to the corridor.

Azul patiently waited for Jamil to finish his thought, unsure where he was going with this.

“I'm not upset about the hug, Azul,” Jamil quieted his voice down, looking around to make sure they were still alone. “I'm just not good at… this,” he gestured to himself and Azul. “Sentiment. Affection. That kind of crap,” he mumbled. “I guess that’s why I’d been acting weird all day.”

“I'm not good at those things either,” Azul shifted on his feet. They’d been avoiding each other and the first time they’d spoken was when Jamil whispered a plan to him for defeating Idia and Cater. It would appear that they had both been clueless on how to proceed after their last interaction. “But now that that’s out of the way, I suppose we can both stop being weird to each other,” he said lightly.

“Yeah, that sounds good,” Jamil smiled.

They both stood there for a few moments, and it felt like there were other things that needed to be said, but neither of them knew what those could be.

“I don’t regret it,” Azul finally said, remembering Rielle’s advice about being honest with Jamil. “The hug.”

Jamil’s face reddened and he looked down, fidgeting with the strings of his hoodie. “Good.” He turned to the door and opened it, going into the locker room and leaving Azul alone in the corridor.

Azul stared as the door closed behind Jamil. He could be mistaken but he thought he saw the hint of a smile on Jamil’s face just before he turned his back.

Azul opened the door and followed inside, feeling a smile curving his own lips.

(AshenViper Week 2024 Masterpost)

(Masterlist)

[angelwishess]

Nyallo angel! 🔪 and 🏆 for all 3 of em, or just Kyra if you want :3 (Chose these two cause i feel like it gives a lot of insight as to what type of people they vibe with lol)

HEHEE HI TATO!! 💗💗🎀

🔪 - Enemy/nemesis

— Kyra :

Definition of ‘I have no enemies’. She doesn’t hold a grudge against anyone. Though she may dislike people at first— she usually warms up to them. She does, however, absolutely despise anyone who underestimates or looks down on her and WILL go out of her way to prove them wrong. (She once beat up a beastman for taunting her about being “weak and defenseless”, it was a shock to everyone since she usually never loses her cool LOL)

— Elena :

Jamil Viper. She absolutely has a crush HATES him. Love at first sight?? No, it was HATRED at first sight with Elena. She cant explain it but his very existence makes her annoyed. Mostly because she can’t read him as well as she does other people.

(She also has a strong dislike for Trey for some reason.)

— Jester :

Another character that tries to get along with everyone— but she does dislike the octotrio. You’d think she’d like Floyd, but honestly hes on thin ice too. They tried to trick her into giving Azul her Signature Spell and she bolted out of there SO FAST. She does NOT trust any of them, and prefers to stay out of anything that involves the three.

(People think that she and Riddle are enemies— which is funnt because they absolutely arent LMAO)

🏆 - Best friends (past, current or future)

— Kyra :

Answered this question in This Post!!

— Elena :

Her best friend is Azul!! She loves and cares for him very dearly, and acts like his older sister even though shes the one younger than him. Unlike her brothers, she dotes on him alot and makes sure hes taking care of himself. Will drag him away from his desk herself if thats what it takes. She always has his back!! His most trusted, most loyal friend and does NOT tolerate any bad mouthing of Azul in her presence. Will drop kick anyone that dares to speak ill of the people she loves.

Funnily enough, she also has another very close friend at NRC! Malleus. Weird, right? She didnt expect it either, it kind of just… happened. As Mostro Lounge’s “spy” / informat, she joined the Gargoyle Appreciation club in order to get info on Malleus.

Instead, she found herself actually enjoying his company and learning about gargoyles. She eventually found out about his situation, how everyone is terrified of him because of his magic. And damn, she could relate so much. They were basically in the same situation. She has a soft spot for him, and always makes sure to include him whenever she can!

Birds of a feather n’ all that, right?

— Jester :

Jester’s best friend is Kalim !!

Both she and Kalim enjoy throwing parties, and have many similar interests!! They get along swimmingly, so much so you’d think they were siblings lol

She also adores Che’nya! Throws a party whenever he comes around to visit Heartslabyul, and they could talk in riddles for hours and hours!! She seems to be one of the only other people who can understand his odd way of speaking and his eccentricity.
