I honestly can’t predict who’s gonna be my best boi when Ikevil comes out… sadly, I am very typecast when it comes to my otome & anime men sooo this is gonna be interesting 😅
These songs are all mostly based on the first impressions and vibes I've got from the characters, so there may be some songs that don't fit as well as they could.
I'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions on these choices!
William
Solar Waltz - Cosmo Sheldrake
I’m not sure what it is, but this feels like a very William-esque song to me. The waltz form has a certain poise in the same way that William does, and the lyrics’ themes - though I don't know him very well yet - in my mind, suit him.
“And work they must
And work they shall
For all the things to grow”
Harrison
Green - Kera & The Lesbians
This one is more based on genre / vibe than lyrics, but they still fit. Harrison feels like he exudes this kind of moderate-tempo, mostly relaxed energy that this song also has.
“Though, yes, it’s true, your smile confuses a few.
But I can see how you start grinning your eyes
And it says: There’s somethin’ wicked in you”
Liam
Curses - The Crane Wives
Liam’s a bit playful and always presents in a positive manner, despite how dark his internal world is. I see a lot of him and his behaviour in both the instrumentals and in the lyrics of this song.
“Every word I say is kindling
But the smoke clears when you're around
Won't you stay with me, my darling
When my walls start burning down, down, down?”
Elbert
Cement - Nicole Dollanganger
This song feels a bit lonely, and the lyrics focus on the preservation of things a person loves and finds beautiful (even to their detriment), which from what I understand about Elbert… fits him to a T.
“The things you love you put into cement
In order to keep them they have to be dead
You think that he’s yours but it’s only in your head
His coffin is not your arms, his grave is not you bed”
Alfons
Bourbon Street - Jeff Tuohy
Alfons is quite the hedonist, and this song certainly reflects that. It also is rather relaxed in tempo, while still having a drive behind it - much like Alfons himself.
“When I walk the street, people step aside
Twirling my cane and smiling wide
Some would say I’m a carnal slave
I put my hands on what I crave”
Roger
Schism - TOOL
I can’t think of many genres that would suit Roger better than rock. And this specific song just feels like him. Especially considering the (slight) division that there seems to be between Roger and the other members of Crown…
“I know the pieces fit
'Cause I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Fundamental differing”
Jude
Follow Me - Odd Chap, J Fitz
When I see Jude, I immediately think ‘electro-swing’. I just think it matches his energy well! I had a feeling that the lyrics to this one also work well with Jude, though I also am the shakiest on his character, so it may not be the best pick for him.
“I′m reaching out yeah
So please come follow
Our time is coming
So please come follow”
Ellis
All I Do Is Dream Of You - Faultline, dodie
I’m also a little uncertain of Ellis’ character, but this song has a similar gentleness and… thoughtfulness(?) that Ellis appears to show as well.
“You're every thought,
you're everything
You're every song I ever sing
All I do the whole night through
Is dream of you”
Victor
Villainous Thing - Schayfer James
This song could honestly describe the entirety of Ikémen Villains as a game, but seems especially applicable to Victor. It has a surprisingly fun tone, while beckoning you into the darkness at the same time.
“Me and you are overdue for fiendish laughter.
Oh dear, let me see those smoky eyes
'cause you're a villainous thing, and we can't have you living a lie”
𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑'𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐄: I am the mother of the Ikémen Villains universe. I shall be called "mother" lol. I shall feed you all with juicy content and love you my babies

#𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐌 𝐑𝐄𝐗
Often finds himself staring into your eyes, love-struck. I can imagine his chin resting on his hand with a sigh when he looks down on you in the gardens when he's in his room looking out of the window like in those romance movies
Buys you little trinkets that match your eyes, like a purple, blue and pink one. Gets fucking ecstatic when he sees you wearing his little gifts
Loves how they twinkle in the night sky and refuses to let a single strand of hair cover your eyes, saying it covers your beauty
Compliments you on the daily no I will not elaborate
Secretly hates it when you go out because then other people will fawn over your eyes when it's only meant to be seen by him. You always go out with him
#𝐄𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐀
He fell in love with you. Love at first sight doesn't matter the gender. If you're a male, and Elbert thought he wasn't gay... turns out he is he just needed you to show him pookie
Would have thought about cutting your eyes open a few times so he can keep your eyeballs... probably told you when you were a few months into the relationship which lowkey freaked you out
Refuses to let you go out for the same reasons as William, he doesn't want anyone else to see your beauty
Give him puppy eyes and he will literally bow to your feet, whatever you ask him he shall deliver. He won't even hesitate to even betray the Crown for you
Often takes you to the gardens at night to look at the stars, he enjoys your little 'wows' and cute giggles to when you talk about things. Makes him fall in love with you more
#𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓
Unlike the other two, he loves to show you off, so that everyone knows you belong to him
Somehow starts to write poetry... not sure if it's canon that he writes poetry but whatever. He also likes to make flower crowns for you, specially in blue, purple and pink to match your eyes
Especially loves the mornings when you just wake up. He wakes up earlier than you just for him to see your eyes fluttering open
Talkes about you a lot... Jude has to stop him as soon as your name is mentioned in conversation otherwise he will not stop
If you gift him any galaxy-themed ornaments he will literally never let you go you're staying with him forever
I wanted to be special so I ALSO did the tier lists
I definitely have a bias towards IkéSen, and I bear zero shame in admitting that. I’ve quite literally written an ENTIRE book about them and would die for all of them (it’s basically a poly AU between Kenshin x OC x Shingen where they adopt all the other characters as children and also everyone’s shapeshifters)
Comte, Seth, and Kicho are intentionally at the very, VERY bottom <3 hate them.
Hey bitches, miss me? *awkward silence* Sorry for being offline for-
seven months holy shit. I wanna say it’s because of exams (I mean I do have exams) but honestly I don’t have that much motivation. Also, in my headcanons, there wasn’t much to go from, since the EN version wasn’t released. But now that it is, maybe I’ll become more motivated to write some headcanons for my beautiful audience.
Here’s my Ikémen Villains ID if you wanna friend me: P3DNVKXHR (my name is Yuki just in case). And yeah, see you guys in the next headcanon.
