Alright, maybe staying in your room became too much.
Especially if you have love letters, hand-made school notes, flowers and now a flying mirror throwing you compliments all stuffed in your dusty Ramshakle room. The one place that is supposed to be a haven is now suffocating.
It's hard to digest this 'secret admirer'. All of this and all that they tell you is so flattering and so much. The majority of the students here are usually kind of pricks, like villains out of a fairytale book, so to have someone pour their heart out so unashamadly, even knocking Rook out of the park, is...shocking. Whenever they are brought up, it leaves you stumped.
You cannot deny the chaos they caused...after all these overblots, you thought the worst of the worst is over...but things at Night Raven College never seem to be still. You understand that others are upset and you don't want them to be upset...but what are you going to do? Find that admirer yourself so they can get their grande, over-the-top confession over with?
Idia Shroud
Fingers are vehemently and obsessively typing codes upon codes of the security doors - the new security doors that Idia just implemented.
AAAAAAA HE KNOWS HE IS NEXT
NO NO NO Idia is no fool. DO not take him for a FOOL! Each dorm was targeted and attacked one after another and he KNOWS he will be next!
He knows! He watched everything unfold online! Through the cameras! He counted the days on the calender! And well, he knows the majority from Ortho. The real MVP.
This is bad. BAD BAD BAD.
Some weirdo, self-proclaimed Chad Romeo is gonna barge into his dorm - or sabotage his scores - or destroy all his communication IRL - or GASP delete his steam library!
Whatever they may be, they are waaaaay over themselves! Going on some kind of Z like Zorro vengeance x romance anime genre and thinking they are the good guy.
Spoiler alert: If Idia and all he loves (his brother and his games) get hurt, YOU ARE NOT THE GOOD GUY!
Just let them give up on this weird escapade and have them confess already! Then he can be spared!
THEY BETTER GET THEMSELVES TOGETHER, OH SO ROMANITC SECRET ADMIRER, AND HAVE THEM CONFESS TO YOU ALREADY!!!!!111211!!
Oh. Wait.
That's actually not something Idia wants.
It was just a sudden brain blast idea. If the admirer just gets their confession, then surely Idia and his dorm will be spared (because he is sure he'll be next! I mean, the order is so??? obvious???) - but if they do confess...you might accept...
In fact, Idia doesn't want anyone to confess to you in the first place at all.
Not even himself!
Uh, n-n-n-not that...he wants to c-c-c-c-c-confess to you, or anything...
FML this is hard
He is sharpening up security left and right and imploring Ortho for some kind of advice on what to do. Idia is too panicked to make a decision.
The dormhead is certain he will at least get humiliated, his one weakness! If not, then surely something worse is going to happen...
Sure, he did awful things before and during his, er, overblot but ngl hasn't everyone? Why can't the admirer just skip him like an event?
Leave him alone and just focus on their goal...which is you.
The solution is right there - have the admirer confess to you already. Idia can even lend a hand with his tech-geek knowledge!
But it feels so wrong. The jealously and pettiness is eating him up, causing him to hesitate.
Idia is imagining what it would be like if you said 'yes' to a normie...and it just gives him more reasons to shut himself in.
The thought of failing to seize the moment leaves a black hole in his stomach...he's both scared, paranoid, jealous and upset.
He is just one click away from making a choice...and maybe he should try being risky for once...
Ortho Shroud
Very not against you having a secret admirer! Even when they are being very bold!
Even Ortho notes how unusually determined this admirer is. Isn't distance adoration supposed to be more delicate and...not happen so often? It's been almost a month and everybody's talking about the admirer and their anitcs! Not very "secretive" if you ask him.
It is none of his business...if it weren't for his dear big brother!
Ortho can see through him as if he were glass. It is beyond obvious on how he feels about you and your admirer. If only he wouldn't shut himself in so often and for such a long time, literally everyone could realize his deep feelings for you. And Ortho wants to do nothing but help his brother.
Hence he was so uncertain when Idia kept on asking him to tail the admirer - so far so that they were able to track them and find out who they are.
He keeps on tabs - while Idia keeps on fighting himself on what to do. It goes on and on in circles until someone decides on something.
The robot boy grows worried...and asks his brother to follow his heart rather his fear.
Well, this is strange.
Why on earth are there signs and trinkets wanting to lead you to a path as if you were lost? What is this, Hensel and Gretel?
You'd have long chucked it up as a bad attempt as a joke but all the signs were actually...holograms hovering near the walls. Only nerds or Ignihyde students would be smart enough to be able to create such things but they are also too chill to even think up any jokes. Besides, the path seems to lead to the spring, a public space. Why should anyone want to lead anyone to a usually crowded place such as that?
Peculiar that only you are here to see the holograms, too.
Certainly nothing too outrageous would happen and you'd make sure to keep your distance as you made your way there. In fact, once you came close enough (by hiding behind a pillar, you aren't taking your chances) you could make out a lone figure sitting on the spring. They seemed to hold something rather big in their hands...
This...couldn't be it, could it? The destination is a person?
You cautiously approach...only for a blue light to blind you.
Ortho Shroud
You winced as you took a few steps back, hissing like a cat.
The light dimmed down siginificantly and a figure was a bit too close for your liking.
"So sorry, Prefect!"
You blink and your vision cleared. It was Ortho!
You ask him about what he's doing here and the many holograms around. He avoids each question, pointing out how there are no holograms, what are you talking about?
He didn't almost barge into you, he was practicing bis new, updated gear! What are you talking about?
And no, you did not hear a yelp. What are you talking about?
You lean to the side, peeking to the left of the robot boy. He still tries to get your attention on him.
The silhouette is gone...
Idia Shroud
Oh god WHAT HAS HE DONE?
The good thing...? The right call...?
How is he supposed to know? Panicking while typing away and suddenly gritting his teeth and cancelling all of this!
Cancel! Cancel, cancel, cancel!
Just a moment ago he was so diligently planning everything...the signs, the locations, making sure there would be no one but you two...
No one but you two...
Just you two at the spring...three special words and Idia would no longer have to cower in anguish...
He sucked in a cold breath, as if his entire room was a hallway of death.
"Aaahhugh, damn it!"
Keyboards are swept aside as his hands bash against the screen in attempts to open up another tab.
"Screw this make-believe date! Screw this confession trope! It never works anyway and you always have to wait for the next episode ONLY FOR SOMEONE TO INTERRUPT IT ALL AND THAT CHARACTER WILL BE ME!"
Fingers aggressively tap on one word over and over again. Cancel.
"I'm nothing much but I'm not gonna be so STUPID to HELP MY RIVAL get the MC! That's self-sabotage and wallowing in pity times 100! No, 'secret admireeeeer', you will NOT get with the Prefect and maybe I will not but some overconfident, extroverted romantic-schmantic romeo is definitely NOT gonna be THE CHOSEN ONE!!!"
Idia keeps on tapping and prattling. Cancel. Cancel. Cancel.
Alas, the panic in his voice moprhed to petty anger.
He knows who they are, which dorm they are from. If anything were to happen to him or Ortho, at least he got some info...
Giddy over the advantage, the dormleader barely noticed that he was on speaker...
A message was quickly sent to him and he stops, gulping down his fear.
Ignihyde might not be spared as he wanted it to be but for once Idia followed his stupid, foolish, love-struck heart...and he feels a bit less immediate regret than usual.
[yeaaaaa Ignihyde wasnt much, there is only...1 person honestly. Ortho is like...middle schooler weenie-hut junior edition he gets no say in anything regarding love. He only loves his brother! Does anything for his big bro (>‿♥)
Idia is such a shut-in that you cannot put him in many scenarios anyway...but i like the thought of him freaking out :) ]
Tubbo: I swear to God, Chat - I promise you, if it's the last thing I do, I am going to break up Fit and Pac.
Mike passed the crown of #1 Hideduo hater to Tubbo, and Tubbo took that title very seriously.

Tubbo: Guys, I have to do everything in my power to break them up. What do you mean "no"?! This is awful, Sunny! This is awful!
Sunny: But why Pa?
Tubbo: THEY WERE NEVER MEANT TO GET TOGETHER! The stars told me so! They were never meant to actually get together!
Sunny: WHY PA
Tubbo: It's just wrong, Sunny! It's just wrong! I dunno how to explain it to you. It's just wrong!
Sunny: But it's loveeeee
Tubbo: ...If that's what you want to call it.

Tubbo: HOW IS THERE GONNA BE ENOUGH SPACE BETWEEN THEM FOR ME NOW, SUNNY?!
Sunny: You're telling me you've never been in love Pa?
Tubbo: Listen, it's just not right.
Sunny: But I like bodyguard Fit and driver Pac :(
Tubbo: I like them too! They're my best friends! But they can't be together.
Sunny: I think you are projecting
Tubbo: PROJECTING WHAT? HUH!?
Sunny: I will find you someone, Pa.

Tubbo: Sunny - They're gonna hurt each other, Sunny- they're gonna hurt each other! And how will there be enough space between them for me now?
Sunny: Why would they do that if they care for each other?
Tubbo: People that care about each other, Sunny, hurt each other all the time! ALL THE TIME!
Sunny: But I care about you, and I don't hurt you.
Tubbo: No, that's different! That's different! The love that we have for each other is unconditional. Ok?
Sunny: Pa, I think you're just scared.
Tubbo: I'm not scared, I'm logical. All flags look red when you're wearing rose-tinted glasses.

Tubbo: [In response to Sunny talking about Aypierre's agreement to build her a statue] You already have a statue! [Sunny hits him] Ow!
Tubbo: What about the one Fit and Ramon made you for your birthday? [Tubbo has an idea] See? Do you think Fit would have time to do stuff like that if he's too- if he's too preoccupied with his little shag buddy? I don't think so! I don't think so!
Sunny: Wait.
Tubbo: See? You see what I'm saying? You see what I'm saying!
Sunny: You have a good point now
Tubbo: See? You under- yes, exactly! We HAVE to break them up! They can still be friends! Fck it, friends with benefits! But they cannot be together. We cannot let them.
Sunny: OK I'M IN
Tubbo: [Claps] I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU! I knew I could count on you!

Tubbo: [In a thick "red-blooded American" accent] Wha- I just don't understand why they have 'ta keep shoving it down our throats! Goddamnit! I JUST WISH IT WASN'T MY SMP! [He hits his desk and laughs]

Tubbo: I swear to God, Chat - I promise you - if it's the last thing I do, I am going to break up Fit and Pac.
kaiser, I've been low-key worried about you as you crawl your way out of the Covid Hole. How are you doing? Hopefully recovering some energy? Sending you good healing vibes from afar!
Ahh, I hope you don't mind that I answer this one publicly. First of all, aww, that is very sweet, thank you 🥺💖 I'm not gonna lie, I still struggle quite a bit with breathing and concentration, but I'm getting there! (That I'm exhausted all the time is a given, but it's always been like thay.) I'm currently working out to get my lungs back to where they should be, but I'm also currently teaching and studying and working and moving and traveling for work and- *deflates*
I miss drawing a lot and I feel really restless since I stopped. Hopefully I'll come back to it by next month - once S3 is here I'm definitely back in my clown makeup 🙈🤡
ESPERA DROPPED ANOTHER STAIRWELL COVER I AM NOT OKAY AAAAAAAA THEY SOUND AMAZING!! Song choice as well, muwah 😭💙
(instagram reel link here - i'm aware there are ppl here that prefer not to follow their socials so just a lil fyi their faces are peeled and visible in case you wanna avoid that!!)
I LIVE for the idea that tsubomi is not only a lesbian but falls HARD for Tome. I also think it would be interesting that when Tsubomi first confesses, Tome rejects her.
Like Tome thinks "we have nothing in common? All I know about her is that she's pretty, popular, and likes tennis. She would think aliens are weird, and would never spend weekends researching telekinesis with me! She's just too normal! She would judge my passions! "
And then, Tsubomi realizes, for her to win Tome over, she has to show her weird side, interestz and hobbies that she's hidden from the world. Like, maybe she's into cryptids, lost civilizations, mermaids, Homestuck, the possibilities are endless.
Idk, the thought of Tsubomi secretly being a bit strange and having to learn how to share that part of herself with others is one of my favorite headcanons and I wished others tried to explore that idea.
Soooooooo, out of curiosity I've tried to draw some girls from WaP by their actual descriptions from the book.
The art itself without any text is under the cut
