#vice housewarden favourite candies

[m34gs]

Earlier I asked you what junk food was the dorm leader's favourite. Today I want to know what junk food you think is the vice warden's favourite 👀

Oh how fun! Thank you for the ask, friend :D I am so excited to answer. (I'm assuming the same rules as before apply; no desserts or healthy foods, straight-out junk food!) For dorms that don't have a Vice Housewarden, I will substitute in the character that is basically "second in command"/"housewarden's right hand man" :)

Trey Clover: We all know Trey is canonically amazing at baking and creating lovely desserts and sweets...but what junk food would he consume??? If there's one thing I find when baking, it's that after sampling, taste-testing, and preparing a bunch of sweet things, I actually crave something salty. I think Trey would be one to go for the savoury junk foods, but something light so he doesn't feel gross and unable to do more baking (let's be real, being entirely full and in a hot kitchen is no fun) so I think he'd like something like popcorn, which can also be salted (or any flavour you want, really).

Ruggie Bucchi: Technically not a Vice Housewarden by title, but we all know Ruggie does more than his share of running around and helping Leona keep things in order. Or, perhaps, keeping Leona in order. I think Ruggie would like lollipops. Any flavour, as long as it's sweet. I think he probably didn't have a lot of sweets growing up, and so he probably really enjoys any sweet flavours. I also just have a really clear image of him lounging on a rock in the sun, hands behind his head, and a white stick the only hint that there is a lollipop in his mouth.

Jade Leech: So, Jade canonically loves mushrooms. He also really loves just trying different things and experiencing all sorts of new opportunities on land. I think he would enjoy some of the strangest, most abominable candy flavours known to mankind. His favourite type of candy I think would be the candy cane. And don't worry, I will tell you why: because there's so many outlandish flavours. He can have ketchup-flavoured, grape-flavoured, orange-flavoured, peppermint-flavoured, shitake-mushroom-flavoured candy-canes...and more (yes, I looked them up. These all exist. I thought, there's no way ketchup and mushroom are real candy cane flavours. I was wrong. I want to cry.). And I think he would love all of them, unironically. He would want to try the unique flavours, and I think partly because he is a sea creature and is used to different foods, and partly because he is unaware (and therefore unaffected) by the societal expectation of what is a 'normal' candy-cane flavour, he would just enjoy all of them.

Jamil Viper: I think Jamil would like smarties or M&M's. I think he's a fan of chocolate, but not of mess. The candy shell will keep the chocolate from getting messy and he can enjoy just a few at a time as he goes, since he is a very busy person and needs to be on his feet a lot.

Rook Hunt: I thought Rook would like candy that not only tastes good, but is pretty to look at. There is this really fun Australian candy shop I follow on Tiktok (one of the most wholesome things on Tiktok at all) and they make candies with designs and phrases in the middle of it...imagine like a candy heart, except instead of a design printed on top, the design is actual molten sugar coloured and folded and twisted into a design inside a rod of candy, the design only being revealed once the candy is chopped into tiny pieces to be sold. (for a better idea of what I'm talking about, check out the website for the shop here). I don't know if other shops do this, but it looks so pretty and fun, I think Rook would love it if there was something like that in the Twisted Wonderland world. He would love both the beauty of the candy and the labour that goes into producing such fine edible art.

Ortho Shroud: again, technically not a vice housewarden, but Ortho may as well be, so he will be included! Now, you may be thinking, "robots don't eat"...but they also don't have souls or think for themselves...and yet. (also, this is a fictional world where magic exists so I like to think anything can happen!) So, I kind of like to headcannon that, post book 6, Ortho can at least sample and taste different flavours, even if he isn't fully human and doesn't need to eat. I think he would love bold flavours, but want a variety, and for that reason I think he would enjoy chips. So many different flavours, and then he can also pair them with dips! I think he would try endless combinations to see what flavours he enjoys the most.

Lilia Vanrouge: I think Lilia would have a fascination with sour flavours. Just the vibe I get from him, with his neon colours and love of pop music. I think Sour Warheads would be one of his favourites. I also think one of his favourite games is to eat the sourest candies he can find in front of anyone and everyone without batting an eye. I think his "keep a straight face" game is On Point. Let's be real, Lilia thrives off of chaos.

Thank you again for this ask, this was so much fun! Please feel free to reply; tell me what your own headcannons are? Do we match on any of them? Or do you have some entirely different ideas? I always love hearing your thoughts!!!

You know, we talk a lot about the Housewardens, but I want to know what are the vice housewardens' favourite ice cream flavour? 👀

Ooooh this is gonna be lots of fun to answer! Thank you for asking, I agree we should discuss the vice housewardens more too!!!

Trey - Honestly, I think Trey would like vanilla the best. It pairs so well with almost any baked dessert, and it isn't an overwhelming flavour. I think he would enjoy the sweet simplicity of it. I also think he would love having it with fresh-baked pies.

Ruggie - Ruggie comes from a family that probably didn't spend a lot on ice cream, and it's hinted at that there's young ones he helps look after (siblings? cousins? neighbourhood kiddos? I don't really know but any of those is just as likely) so I imagine that when ice cream was bought, it was bought in a large quantity that was probably on sale, in a flavour that was probably "safe" as in, popular among the majority. For this reason, I think Ruggie would be in love with stuff that is more unique than plain old vanilla or strawberry or chocolate because 1. he didn't get those as a kid, and 2. it means he gets to have it to himself and enjoy it all. I think his number one favourite flavour would be pumpkin ice cream, because it's a different flavour...not too outlandish but definitely not one that is common among ice cream parlours.

Jade - Jade...Oh, Jade. Why must you torment me even in my own headcannons. Alright, so Jade has a favourite ice cream (technically a gelato). It's called "Byakuya". BUT, he's only allowed it on Very Special Occasions. Why? Because it is $6696.00 per serving. PER. SERVING. JADE. Why is it so gosh-darn expensive? Because it is made with Very Expensive white truffles. And look me in the eye and tell me that Jade wouldn't try an ice cream that comes packaged with truffle oil? (I'm sorry I just...I don't know what truffles taste like but research says they're savory, and my personal taste does not like to mix a lot of sweet and savory). And a hand-made metal spoon???? Part of me wonders if he lists this one as his favourite just so he can watch Azul break the bank on the twins' birthday. But honestly, I read about this ice cream here, and couldn't help but think about how it was Such a Jade Thing.

Jamil - I think Jamil would like Vanilla ice cream with some Cinnamon sprinkled on top. It's simple, but a yummy combo, and I think at the end of the day he wants an easy dessert he can enjoy. Plus, he pretty much never runs out of it; those are two ingredients you can find anywhere.

Rook - Rook likes a soft serve vanilla and chocolate ice cream in a cone. It's swirled beautifully and the two different colours really bring out that shape. He enjoys both chocolate and vanilla for taste, so in his mind this is the perfect mix of both. Also, it means he gets romantic ice cream cone dates with Vil. :D (in my opinion, ice cream is completely fine in either a bowl or a cone, but it is 100% More Romantic in a cone).

Ortho - Bubblegum for Ortho. It's a fun colour (usually blue or pink) and it has chunks of candy in it! What's not to love? I think Ortho is a "try everything" kind of person, but I think he would just really love the appeal of the bubblegum flavour ice cream. I also feel like it reflects his fun attitude and child-like wonder very well.

Lilia - Again. Why must I be tormented. But you cannot expect me to think Lilia would go for something normal...No no, he likes to experiment. He is out there trying anything and everything that he can, for the experience. Just a dude living his life to the fullest, and I love that for him. I think Lilia would list Pizza Flavoured Ice Cream as his favourite. Based on the pizza ice cream listed here, made with tomato, basil, oregano, salt and garlic, it would be very savory. Maybe a bit like a cold slice of leftover pizza? I'm not sure...but regardless, he is thriving off of it.

There you go! Those are my headcanons! What are yours, friend??👀 Also, no judgement towards anyone who likes the savory ice creams, it is just my personal preference that I do not.
