To be completely honest in the past I couldn’t care less about shipping suitors. I was closer to the side of not really liking it so I typically just ignored anything to do with suitor x suitor posts. Then I started playing Ikepri and was introduced to Chevalier and Gilbert. It was like the floodgates opened and all of a sudden I was shipping these two together. Cause how can I not when they have THIS much tension. I wonder if it’s just Gilbert?

Hi! Just wanted to add to your post here a bit so I hope this doesn’t come off as rude!!

Just a few things I want to add here with the Swan Lake story. Like every story there are many versions of this story one with a happier ending and another with a darkish ending.

The ballet version typically goes like this

The prince, Siegfried, on his birthday is given a crossbow from his mother the Queen. He is also met with many women who are suitable to be married to him. However the prince denies them as he does not love any of them. He essentially only wishes to marry only who he loves. After being left alone in a depressed mood he decides to chase after a flock of swans to relieve his depressed state.

After running after the swans he enters an enchanted forest and encounters Rothbart. He realizes this is an evil sorcerer and prepares his crossbow to shoot. At this time the white swan, Odette, as a human steps in front of Rothbart and stops Siegfried from shooting. This is when she introduces herself as the Swan Queen and explains to Siegfried that she and her friends have been cursed. With the only time they are able to be human is between midnight and dawn. As well as telling him that the only way to break this curse is for him to marry her and give her his love and to never swear his love to another.

Siegfried having a “love at first sight” moment swears her his loyalty and love. However their love is interrupted by Rothbart and dawn comes. Returning to swans Siegfried is left alone and he returns to his palace. Now the time for his ball has arrived. The Queen once again introduces many lovely ladies to Siegfried. However he declines them proclaiming he loves only Odette and she would be the one he marries. Enters Rothbart with his daughter the black swan, Odile, who is disguised by a spell to look exactly like Odette.

However this is where it changes. (Just need to mention again there is no wrong story. I just want to give a bit more storyline incase you not anyone else is confused!) the endings changes depending on where you see it or where you hear it. This one I believe is what many places follow.

Rothbart’s plan being to trick Siegfried into proclaiming his love to Odile therefore breaking his promise to Odette. Which would keep Odette under his spell. Odile while dancing with Siegfried successfully seduces him into proclaiming his love to her and not Odette. Visions of Odette appear and it’s revealed that he proclaimed his love to another. Overcome with guilt he chases after Odette back to the lake they met at. However it is all too late.

Back at the lake Odette is in agony explaining to her friends the betrayal she’s experienced. Siegfried shows up and begs Odette for forgiveness. Odette forgives him but as mentioned it’s too late and their love is doomed. Rothbart appears once more and begins to take Odette away from Siegfried with his magic. In a one last goodbye Odette embraces Siegfried succumbs to the curse. In the end throws herself into the lake/off a cliff. Essentially ending her life and breaking the curse. There Siegfried is left alone in despair like her was in the beginning of the story when he received his crossbow.

As mentioned there are many different endings some darker. With the couple ending their lives together to break the curse. Others with a happier ending. Like the one you’ve mentioned above. (Your specific one being the one that I was introduced as a kid which started my love for Swan Lake) where they defeat Rothbart and his daughter and live happily ever after.

To respond to your questions at the end

It’s never revealed why she was cursed in the first place but many tales show Odette to be a princess who is this pure and graceful figure who is loved by many. The same goes for Odile, she’s never fully fleshed out. But it’s meant to be implied that she is also evil like her father. She’s represented with being evil with themes of seduction and malice.

I’m not exactly sure if there’s a reason for his doing this other than the typical reasons for villains. But hey! We can only hope there is truly a good reason. I’m also unsure that they’ll follow the story with the details.

Swan Lake

For those of you who are not familiar with this story, I will give my interpretation. I only read it one time, so I didn't remember the names. But these are just details, right. So you know, it's not a fairy tale, it's a ballet. And… only yesterday I found out the story behind it. I watched it a couple of times and mostly enjoyed the music. It's very beautiful, magical even.

So… There is a prince who has reached marriageable age. His mother arranged a ball for him to choose a bride. But… He doesn't wanna get married, he's too young and free-spirited.

At night, he went for a walk in the forest (where else to go at night) and suddenly witnessed the transformation of a white swan into a beautiful woman. They talked for a while, and she explained that she had been cursed by an evil magician. She is a swan during the day and at night she's became a women (I have to say, it's very convenient, isn't it? No need to work, no need to take care of the house… Is it really a curse?). He promised to kill the magician to save her. But the curse requires the man to fall in love with her with all his heart (traditionally, but I don't think gender matters here). This only recently free-spirited prince swears eternal love to her.

An evil magician, in order to separate the lovers (no, really, they just met, where did such love come from?), brings his daughter to the ball, who looks exactly like a white swan. The prince introduced her to his mother as his future wife. The magician is happy, if the prince breaks his promise to the white swan, she will die (mister, what is your problem? You've already turned her into a bird, why do you wanna kill her? And if you wanna kill her, why didn't you do it in the first place? Again… a very odd villain's logic). But… The prince saw no one but the white swan, so he didn't break his promise. The wizard attacks the prince in pure rage and dies.

The curse is broken. Happy ending.

I feel sorry for the magician's daughter. She was nothing to the prince and, obviously, to her father as well. And in the end, she just disappeared into the background. It's so cruel. And who is the true victim here?

So in Villains our twins represent this poor thing. I can already feel the sad vibes of an unloved children coming from them…

And Darius is an evil magician. So maybe they at least explain why he hates this swan so much? What had she done to him to deserve this? There must be a good reason. At least, I hope there is...

YESS I very nearly screamed out of excitement in the middle of the night haha 😅 I’m so excited to see what their curses will be like now knowing it’s Swan Lake

AHHHH the new boys for ikevillain being Swan Lake has sent me over the moon. I personally am obsessed with two things those being Swan Lake and Phantom of the Opera. Even with swan lake I’ve recently seen the ballet for it!!

Safe to say I’m extremely excited to learn more about these new boys. And now I have the urge to rant about the Swan Lake story as a whole 😫😫

[violetshideout]

It’s kinda funny since I was thinking about Gilbert and Emma with the theme/story of Swan Lake just a few days ago. Maybes it’s not fitting? I just think that it’s a cool theme for them considering how Gilbert’s route plays out.

I’m afraid to say more than that in case of people not having played/finished his route.

But imagine Emma as the white AND black swan at the very end. 😬😬

I love Clarence so much in every way he’s so amazing. He literally reminds me of a Disney Princess with how animals like him. He even HAS FIVE CATS. Omg perfection. Not even just that but his stories too are just so great. The things he does in the name of protecting the things he loves are questionable but the fact he went to such lengths to protect others is just. 😩😩

[violetshideout]

AGHH this game has been released in English for a day and I’m already this obsessed with it haha 😅

In all honesty can’t wait for Ellis’s route but for now I’ll stay loyal to my boy William

[violetshideout]

I need a Chiluc AU thing where Childe and Diluc have this amazing tragic forbidden romance going on through letters and like Childe dies or maybe Diluc dies and they send a letter ending it with like “I hope in our next lives we will be allowed to love” or something BUT THATS NOT THE END!!!

Cause say whoever isn’t dead retrieves the letters they sent to the one who is dead and keeps them and like I don’t know preserves them cause like sad stuff Idk but then it’s like a long time passes and historians find these letters and people use it as like a “LOVE IS REAL” sorta thing but like the thing is what if reincarnated Diluc reads these letters and then like remembers Childe but he’s torn between looking for the Childe of his past life or live the life he’s in now and forget the past but WHAT IF

He’s at an art gallery studying paintings and other similar things Idk what people do in art galleries and Childe is also there for some reason and Childe while also having his own inner turmoil decides to take a chance and goes up to Diluc and calls him by the same nickname he did in their previous life and I guess cute stuff happens and they are now trying to figure out how to fit into each others lives but also loving each other as much as they did in their last life but now it seems like their love for each just continues to grow

[violetshideout]

AHH WAIT instead of jock Childe in a chiluc high school au what about Childe being a nerd of sorts. Just this guy who LOOKS like he’d be a jock of some kind but instead isn’t actually in any sports clubs but hangs out with diluc in the library.

This could be like best friends in love with each other scenario

[violetshideout]

Chiluc high school au is living in my head rent free

I like them being rivals to lovers but like rivals who care about each other. So like Diluc worries about things like studying and keeping up a proper image. Also since they are high school students in a modern era school pressure SUCKS. Staying up late doing schoolwork to be the best.

Childe being smart while I feel like he does study. I feel like he’d take pride in how he doesn’t study often and instead does more focus on physical classes. Like PE or some sort of sport. Yes I like Jock Childe but not the typical muscle head player. More like maybe gymnast or softball kind of jock. Does that make sense? Oh well.

So like maybe since they are young they are more playful in their rivalry. Diluc being pre-Crepus’s death is a bit more carefree. Childe being the kid who dares diluc into being even more carefree. Doing things like getting him to sneak out or ditch the classes with teachers who hate him. Diluc thinks it’s a rivalry over grades and stuff.

Childe at first thinks Diluc is pretty but a bit uptight with his grades. After all he only ever saw him studying. Then he witnessed diluc sneaking out of his house and decided he was in love. Childe taking him to his favorite hideout spots. Maybe even teaching Diluc he doesn’t need to be the best to be loved.

Realizing now this isn’t much of rivals to lovers. Uh whoops. Well I can’t really write them like that yet. But use your imagination for that part.

Older brother Kaeya trying to keep Childe away from his precious baby brother. Why? Cause Diluc is a smart and talented person. While Childe is smart and too carefree for Kaeya’s liking. Diluc however doesn’t want to be babied so he sneaks out and secretly starts dating Childe anyways.

Ooo I imagine them being pretty good at hiding their relationship until they get to college. Going to the same college then BAM all handsie and shit. In the way like they are always hold hands or hanging off one another.

Only that’s as far as it goes. No kissing or PDA like that since that’s for private spaces. Childe is fully okay with that. Haha Kaeya getting the shock of his life when he finally has to admit that Childe makes Diluc happy. Maybe they lost contact after Diluc left for college or something Dunno about that part yet. Don’t want to make ragbros angst butttt I personally imagine Kaeya just trying to keep people away from diluc thinking it was for the best. Instead it causes this sort of rift when he starts dating Childe and Kaeya didn’t approve at first or something.

High school sweethearts is just so UGH.

[violetshideout]

One must imagine diluc ragnvindr as the main character in a dating sim game who has about twelve other people with crushes on him. The list goes as follows:

- His childhood friend he kissed once when he was 16 who he hasn't seen in ten years (Thoma)

- His ex-wife who he has complicated feelings towards (Jean)

- The girl from that flower shop who is obsessed with him (Donna)

- An old chinese man who keeps quoting ancient texts at him and saying he knew the guy who wrote it (probably a god) (Zhongli)

- The first one's boss who keeps flirting with him and suggesting they enter a polyamorous marriage in really unsubtle ways (Ayato)

- A gambler lady who thinks he's really good at killing people and keeps sexually (???) choking/strangling enemies they fight (Yelan)

- Some gang leader from Japan with big tits who keeps trying to beetle fight him and is endearingly stupid (Itto)

- An architect from Persia who is knee deep in debt and cares very heavily about everything (Kaveh)

- The architect's roommate, also a well-known Arabian scholar who never takes his headphones off and somehow still hears everything Diluc says (Alhaitham)

- A French prison warden who keeps reminding him to take care of himself while he struggles to reign in his own daughter (?? Child who is always with him??? Coworker?? Diluc can't tell) (Wriothesley)

- his doctor (Baizhu)

- That one night stand he had when he was on a killing spree who turned out to be a leading part of the organisation that killed his father and then fucked his brother but is still trying with him too for some fucking reason (Childe)

JUST GOT AN IDEA

I’m obsessed with manwhas right now soo

Diluc and Wriothesley BOTH get “reincarnated” into the typical manwha troups with Wriothesley being the Duke of the north and Diluc and the side Villain who doesn’t want to die. Except Alice was the one who sent them into this world. Maybe they have a few traits of their original bodies or not is up to you. So Wriothesley doesn’t know a SINGLE detail of this story except that it was something Sigewinne or someone around him had read.

Diluc on the other hand TOTALLY read this book for either Klee or maybe Fischl either way he knows what’s happening and isn’t going to die on some other planet and wants to go home. So bla bla bla they fall in love and Wriothesley being suspicious of how this random person just knows what’s going to happen and stops it. He either does question Diluc about it or not cause this is his love and doesn’t want to cause distress to him.

So as the true story reach the ends they are both sent right back to Teyvat and neither of them know whether this person truly exists. So I think Wriothesley would be hurt by this and while continuing his job as the Duke would have people look for this person. Diluc would be sad like visibly sad and thinking he’ll never find this person or meet someone he loves as much as Wriothesley. So Elzer and Adelinde in an attempt to cheer him up they send him away on a business trip so maybe he goes from region to region and eventually ends up in Fontaine. As he’s in Fontaine he comes across that damn novel. But he’s still saddened by the loss of his once husband. So he buys the book and reads it maybe at a cafe.

However as he reads he notices the story is different and oddly enough is actually the story is the one he had lived through. With all the changes he had made. Confused he starts asking around about the story. Since I think Navia and Diluc would be great friends he falls into a conversation about the story with her. Finding out that a certain Duke had commissioned the story as a play off of the original. With Wriothesley somehow he finds out about this suspicious red haired man asking about the story. So somehow they meet but don’t exactly recognize each other but stay in contact cause like “this person feels familiar” UGHHH

Then they have to fall in love with each other all over again because I said so but also because they aren’t the same person as when they’d met. However they do still fall in love. Haha Kaeya in the background just like “wtf happened to my brother why’s he randomly acting like this” then when Diluc returns with good news he’s like “SINCE WHEN DID HE HAVE A BOYFRIEND? WHY WASNT I INFORMED!”

[violetshideout]

Since it’s October I think Wrioluc would dress up as the Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Of course Diluc as little red and Wriothesley as the big bad wolf.

[violetshideout]

The hailuc brain is also very strong sooo let’s talk I guess?

Since I’m favoring Modern AUs right now let’s start there

Diluc works a LOT. He definitely feels the need to make excuses for why he wants affection from Al Haitham. He eventually learns that he doesn’t need reasons to be with Al Haitham.

I feel like their idea of a date is either going to library. Or working beside each other. Also I’m some cases Diluc would take Al Haitham to a quiet cafe.

Ooo maybe they’d definitely go on vacation together. During that vacation instead of visiting tourist spots they’d probably just walk around and visit some nice places. Diluc might have studied before hand things they could do.

In this I feel like a Modern AU is just Genshin Impact in a modern setting.

So on that note I think since Sumeru and Mondstadt are pretty far apart maybe Diluc would call Al Haitham or FaceTime him when he feels lonely.
