Imo the most impressive thing Leo’s done is hold this pose for as long as he did while covered head to toe in gold paint:

The manhwa doesn't mention this, but in the novel Anakin's new appearance literally described as "idol trainee" and I love irony of this moment.

AUTHOR NOTE: Thank you for requesting!! Ps a lot of grammar mistakes!!This is pt2 you can find part 1 on my page! Tell me if u want part 3! This got reply long
Tumblr media
When Tristan came home with a kid that oddly looked like aria,Everyone besides Lloyd aria and the other members of the family knew that she was arias sister.
In the moment aria saw her she smiled and ran up to y/n and Tristan, She wished she could break the facade she had on how she couldn’t speak to speak to the pink haired kid.
But what surprised aria is when Tristan suddenly hid the face of her sister,She stared at the man confused.
“Isn’t that my sister why’s he getting so overly protective?” She question herself before observing her sisters face, She looks as confused as she is.
aria quickly scribbled on a peace of paper “can I see my sister?” The much older man laughed before replying “maybe tomorrow” he smiled enjoying what’s happening.
After the small interaction Aria was going to express anger,But he walked off leaving no room for conversation.
Leaving a angry Aria and confused Lloyd, “What does he find interesting in your sister?” He questioned aria turned her head “Obviously because she’s the most cutest!” She thought, Which Lloyd heard.
“I didn’t get to see her face so how would I know?” He thought before walking off.
A few days had passed and Aria was getting frustrated each day, All she wanted was to see her sister!,But whenever she would go out and see her she’d get told “she’s too busy”or “the duke is with her”.
Aria was getting fed up, her sister meant a lot to her and she had been waiting for months to finally see her, She understood how she was a little busy but to her she knew her sister more then anyone ever.
so she conducted a plan, First she’d sneak out at night,Then she’d wait why’s Lloyd in front her bedroom.
“Lloyd what are you doing?” She questioned, Clearly weirded out because didn’t he say he didn’t want to see her beloved sister?.
The black haired man turned around a little embarrassed by getting caught, “I wanted to see what’s the fuss over your sister look” he said sounding annoyed (he wasn’t), He grabbed her arm and pushed her in front of the door and peeped threw the door.
Threw the peep hole, Aria could see her little sister still awake walking around the room,She was wearing a light blue nightgown that was way too large on her.
Without contemplating she quickly opened the door,Lloyd freaked out “wait what the hell are you doing” he quickly grabbed her arm again.
“Going inside?” She spoke “Come one just this once! We won’t get caught” she pleaded.
He sighed before agreeing,The door swung open, and the much tinier girl swung her head almost terrified before she smiled brightly.
Aria ran up to her sister with Lloyd following behind, She quickly picked her up and hugged her “Y/NNNN!!!” She squealed, “ARIAAA!!!” The girl did the same hugging her sister tighter.
“Do you like it here?” Was the first thing aria asked, “yes yes! But I wish I could see you more” she mumbled the last part.
Y/n turned her face to Lloyd who looked slightly annoyed, “who is that?” Y/n asked hiding behind her sister leg when she noticed him, “this is my husband Lloyd” she pointed at him.
He scratched the back of his head before aria told him telepathically to greet her, “Ah um hi?” He said almost questioning what he was saying.
“Hi!!!” She smiled happily, Walking toward him he kneeled down to her level.
“You look like the man that man with long hair” She exclaimed, oh she’s talking about Tristan, “I’m better then him” He blurted, Aria shot daggers at him.
“Can I pick you up?” Lloyd asked, It took aria by surprised, The girl swung her arms around Lloyd’s neck and he picked her up and stood up.
“Why’s your sister so light, I might drop her” he said almost threading in some way, Aria ran up to him “Don’t”.
“Y/n do you think I’m better then the long haired man?” He questioned, “Yes!!” She replied not understanding why he was asking.
“ really?” A voice came out from behind, All of the three people turned white as they turned around, “Y/n do you think my son is better then me?” He asked again walking towards.
It was very clear who it was ,Tristan valentine, “you really like testing my patience don’t you?” He grabbed the child easily from Lloyd’s arms making him upset.
“Didn’t I tell you to change and come to my room why are you still here?” He glared at Lloyd only, he stared at the kid in his arms “My son isn’t better then me” he stated as if it was a matter of fact.
“Next time you tell your sister your better then me your marriage will meet its end” he threatened.
“Wait what do you mea-”
“SISTER?” Aria screamed almost, “Sense when?” She asked almost upset “she’s still your sister and your still my daughter don’t worry” he said lazily before exiting the room

Academy of Sword and Magiс
[1\?]
Penelope and Callisto's relationship begins six months before the young woman's debut. Eckhart is in love with the Crown Prince and believes that her feelings are mutual. They meet secretly, knowing that neither the duke nor the emperor will support their relationship due to political tension inside the capital. They do not show their feelings and what they know in public, for fear of being revealed.
But after Yvonne returns, everything changes. Callisto rejects Penelope and laughs if she talks about their relationship, saying that she allegedly made them up. Heartbroken Penelope barely remembers how the debut is going, how the terrible thing happens - the poisoning of Yvonne.
The whole family blames her for this, not wanting to listen to any excuses and evidence. Left completely alone under a house ban in her room, the young woman did not know what to do when an angry Callisto came to her, wanting to avenge his new lover.
Penelope, miraculously manages to survive this meeting and escape.
Thanks to the low-ranking magic she learned, after the events of the hunting competitions, she was able to leave the capital and go to the most remote part of the empire, where she wanted to settle down and start living again, hoping that the duchy, like the Crown Prince, would not search for her anymore. They enjoying happy life with the real daughter of the Eckhart family.
But she didn't know at all how she could make money here. The jewelry and the torn dress that she was wearing, she sold for good money on the first day. But money tended to run out, and it was a bad idea to think about work when they were completely gone. Climbing into her small travel bag, Penelope found a fragment of a Mirror.
"What a useless garbage," she snorted and wanted to throw it into the swamp, as the shard began to shine brightly in her hands, showing her and the fact that she put the shard of the mirror back in the bag and went somewhere. "What the hell?"
Thinking about it, she decided not to throw it away and watch. Maybe the thing wasn't as useless as she thought it was. In the evening of the same day, after a hearty snack and going into the room she rented in a tavern, she took out a fragment and tried to make it show at least something other than a reflection again. But nothing worked. Giving up, she muttered: "Maybe I was dreaming.."
The shard shone again. Penelope looked there and saw herself creating something out of boards and fabric. Finally, she understood how it worked and figured out how to make money.
"Wizards? You mean the charlatans?" the owner of the tavern was perplexed with the guest's question. "If you need useless freeloaders, then they live on the outskirts of the city, towards Aunt Dor's farm. One of them also has such a strange sign.. With a cat? Or something similar to it."
Thanking for the information, Penelope went to the local wizard. The middle-aged man was immensely pleased with her until he realized that she was rather not his client, but just a random passerby who was unlikely to give money.
"I need a room. For divination, I see the future of people and can help them find out the truth." Penelope explained.
"A fortune teller? I hardly believe it, but if you pay rent, I will be glad to consider you a fortune teller" the man happily rubbed his hands, hoping for a promising income in his pocket from another "charlatan".
What was his surprise when the number of customers in a small fortune-teller's room became more and more every month. At first, the young woman did not charge her clients who were residents of a small town. Satisfied and especially impressionable, they told their visit to Penelope to their neighbors, and those to other neighbors from the neighboring village, spreading the story further and further.
In addition to ordinary citizens, aristocrats began to visit it, although not of the upper class, but still. From earls to viscounts. Fearing that she might be recognized, Penelope decided to furnish the room with an entourage and wear a suit that hides her eyes and hair. In it, she looked like a mystical fortune teller whose gaze is hidden from the visitor.
The fee for services grew, Penelope paid the wizard money for rent and assistance in servicing clients. A simple room has turned into a real mystical corner with incense and magical objects, one view showing that a real member of the magical world works here.
But in addition to the man, a nanny settled in the house, who looked after little Judith, who required a lot of attention and time, which Penelope did not have because of constant work and a desire to feed and provide a comfortable future.
Until one day, a strange old man comes to her for a foresighted session, asking her to tell about him and his past. Of course, she had similar clients who, due to illness, forgot where they lived or something important that they needed to remember and she did not charge them, letting them go with a pure soul to their loved ones.
But this old man was definitely not that kind of person. His past was filled with horror and death. A shard of a mirror reflecting fragments of the past into a glass ball chilled the blood in her veins. The old man, with a certain weariness and sadness in his eyes, watched his past.
"Let the Mirror show what will happen when I leave the city," he asked. "How do you know--?.." asked Penelope, frightened. "I know a lot of things, child. And I know that very soon the knight's guard will arrive here and take you to the capital. Aren't you, as one of the last representatives of the ancient magicians, afraid to be on your knees again in court for something you didn't do?" "Wh-what?.." "Ask the Mirror to show you if you think I'm lying, child. My name is Uwe, I am an elder from a small town where ancient magicians and ordinary magicians who were expelled from their lands live. I've heard a lot about your abilities and I see that you can use a fragment of an ancient magical artifact - the Mirror of Truth. This is amazing and truly an innate talent that not everyone can possess. I've come to help you. There aren't many like you and me left, but there is a place where you and your daughter will be safe. I can offer my protection and help so that you can live in peace without hiding behind all this masquerade. But we don't have much time and we need to decide right now."
Penelope looked at the flashing Mirror of Truth and clenched her hands into a fist nodded to the man. She needed to escape anyway if the imperial knights were already heading here. There's no reason for her to stay in this city. And Judith, too.
Seven years later, the empire makes a truce with the ancient magicians after a fierce struggle against Leila. In order to consolidate the alliance, the emperor and the elders sign a trade agreement on the purchase and sale, as well as participation in the cutting of precious stones for magical weapons. The Empire also creates conditions for magicians so that they can receive education and not be infringed on their rights.
In order to strengthen the established relations, an academy is being built on the territory of the empire, where both people and wizards will study in the same building in order to create a new generation that will rely on each other. Duke Eckhart's (Derrick) adopted daughter, 7-year-old Nora, and other children from aristocratic families become one of the elementary school students. Nora was a reserved but very kind child who was bullied despite the authority of her family.
The girl was taken from a shelter sponsored by the Eckhart family. Nora, who had lost her parents and was left completely alone, appreciated the duchy for sheltering her and giving her the opportunity to get an education that her own father could not have dreamed of. She was a timid and kind girl who knew that if she rebuffed her abusers, she could be worse off because of it, and not them at all. She kept silent about it and endured, pretending that she was not upset at all by the words of her peers.
Fortunately, by the beginning of the year, her roommate did not come because of family problems, so the first months of study the whole room was in her harness and no one could tell classmates how she cried, remembering all the hurtful things that other children did to her.
On one of the everyday school days, the girls called her behind the building to talk about her being too smart during math lessons. But as soon as the main offender managed to open her mouth, dirty water poured on top of her, which was used to wash the floor in the classroom. Offended girls screamed promising to take revenge on prankster until she saw who did it.
"You shouted too loudly, it prevented me from calmly preparing for the lesson," said a golden-haired girl looking out of the window with a bucket in her hands. "Oh, I'm sorry, Judith!..We're leaving!" classmates immediately ran away with a bully, apparently not wanting to get involved with a stranger.
Nora wanted to thank the savior, but Judith quickly lost interest and went back to class closing the window without saying anything. Eckhart spent the rest of the day in peace and quiet. Tired of the amount of knowledge she had gained, Nora went into her room and realized with horror that the same girl was sitting on the next bed.
"Hi, I'm Judith and I'm your roommate."

I Have Become The Hero's Rival/Your Ultimate Love Rival
Felix Chamberlain
Tumblr media
🦋 You were at the Chamberlain's manor, just slouching on their couch, all bored.
"What's the matter? Why do you seem to be sulking?"
🦋 Felix's sudden appearance made you jump out of your skin.
🦋 You were currently at their manor as per Claudia's request. She had ask you to come to their house to hang out, however, an hour had past but she still hasn't arrive. You had asked their servants yet they all say the same thing: "I don't know, My Lady."
🦋 You and Felix have been friends since childhood, thus you always talk to him informally and freely.
"Felix! Just right on time. Do you know where your sister possibly could be?"
"She left with Irene an hour ago."
"What?! But I did not saw them."
🦋 Felix just shrugged and you sighed. Those girls are really something, you thought. You stood up and was heading to the door but Felix stop you by grabbing your wrist.
"You're leaving, just like that? But you're already here."
"Exactly. I am here but Claudia and Irene are not here."
"But I am here, [Name]."
🦋 He saw a pen and grabbed it. "Lets have our own fun. We hadn't done this for a long time." he said. And he was right. Drawing on each other had always been a favorite hobby between the two of you, despite the scolding you'll receive later it was worth it.
🦋 You just gave him a closed eyed smile and agreed, "Alright."
🦋 Felix made sure to take a mental note to thank his sister and Irene later for helping him.

Kill The Villainess
Anakin
Tumblr media
🦋 After finishing his part, I realized that it was the same as the one I had previously written with another character and unfortunately I have no more ideas for him. But I promise to write for him next time. If I get any idea that is.
____...______...______...______...____
Marriage of Convenience
Zachary de Arno
"Count de Arno"
Tumblr media
🦋 You were outside playing with Nikola, having the time of your lives. Meanwhile, the Count was just staring of at his window, watching you smiling so wide and laughing so carefree.
"Would you like to take a break?"
🦋 Vincent's voice pulled him out of his trance.
"I can call for Our Lady to come here—if you'd like."
"No, no, there is no need to."
🦋 He immediately rejected the idea. Although he would like to spend some time with you, he didn't want for your happiness to be put onto halt. He does notice you becoming stiff and guarded around his presence. He honestly just wants you to feel comfortable around him like how you are currently with the little boy.
🦋 He feels it's very embarrasing and won't ever admit it but he did feel a little envious of the child you were giggling with.
🦋 He cleared his throat along with his thoughts then proceded with his work.
🦋 A little while after, he heard the door open and immediately looked up and he saw you.
"Um... s-sorry to interrupt you work I– "
"It's alright. What brings you here?"
🦋 You gave him his dinner. You asked Vincent about the Count as he was nowhere to be seen during dinner and you got worried for him. You decided to stay at his office until he finish his meal and he didn't object, wishing to spend some time with you. However, both of you were stuck in an awkward silence, neither knowing what to do nor say.
🦋 You saw an extra pen on his desk and out of habit you picked it up and started drawing on your hand, the Count just watching you quietly. After you were satisfied, you look up to see if the Count has finished his meal but instead you both locked eyes, after realization you both looked away.
🦋 You sighed, this time you decided to have courage, it's not like the Count will eat you out alive.
"You know Count, whenever I feel stressed out I woukd usually do this. It relaxes me and I also love to make arts."
🦋 Your oh so charming smile made the Zachary's heart skip a beat. Without thinking, he placed his arm in front of you.
"You can draw on mine too." He says with a little redness on his cheeks.
🦋 You were shock at first, but then chuckled and proceded to do as he said.
🦋 Zachary just looked at you with fondness evident on his eyes. This little moment will always remain forever on him.
Tumblr media
Bonus:
Your Smile Is A Trap
Kiyu Ahn
Tumblr media
🦋 this was only suppose to be historical manhwa's but I can't resist him. He must me protected at all times🥺
🦋 Kiyu doesn't want to be bothered with this idol thingy anymore. You know that and you respect his decision.
🦋 You were Kiyu's first friend at school, you sat behind him and since he was a new student you thought about helping him adjust. The more time you two spent together, the more the friendship blossom and eventually, you both started dating, only your families knows about this and you both prefer it this way.
🦋 That was until, his identity and real face was revealed. It was a hot mess and Kiyu is feeling pressured and you can see that so you decided to help him ease atleast.
"Kiyu, your hand." you gestured and he complied.
🦋 You picked up a colored marker that was beside you and started drawing on his face. He was surprise but sit still. That was until you started chuckling, he felt a little suspicious and ran to get a mirror.
"[Name]!!!" he screamed your name while you just laughed hysterically.
🦋 You finally calmed down after he returned with a cute pout on his face.
"Oh c'mon! We can always erase that. Here, you can draw on mine too."
🦋 Without hesistation, he picked up a colored marker and started drawing on you. Then it turn into a contest between you two.
🦋 Kiyu was clearly having fun, now the one laughing hysterically at your messy form eventhiugh he was on the same state.
🦋 Seeing him like this made you smile so wide, this was the Kiyu you know, the Kiyu you fell in love with. Having him return to his happy and innocent self made you feel relief, you hoped everyday could just like be this happy and carefree.
"What? *chuckle* why do you look like that?" He asked.
"Nothing, I'm just happy whenever I'm with you. Stop worrying about the others for now and lets have fun, yeah?"
🦋 Kiyu smiled at you gratefully. He felt really lucky to have you, he was blessed with an understanding and caring partner, what more could he ask for.

I've Become A True Villainess - By Bumho (8/10)
Tumblr media
This looks average but it is not. The lore is good. The characters are the way they are for a reason. Even the more flawed and unreasonable villains make sense. There's an assassination attempt in the first ten chapters, plus a ruined wedding, so buckle up.
Sterne. It is a name laced with power. Only the luckiest people born under highly specific situations get to become a Sterne. If you are one well...you're invaluable. You can do whatever you want and people kind of have to put up with it.
Tumblr media
Seria Sterne is gorgeous, young and a noble on top of that...kinda. She struggled with an inferiority complex for her entire life, because her mother was a commoner that happened to catch her father's eye. When she became the Sterne she neglected her duties. She did the bare minimum. She abused her maids. The world let her get away with it all, because she was special.
Tumblr media
She is killed by her fiancé, after another holy woman appears. In this setting a Saint is just below a Sterne in importance, and of course the true identity of the Saint is discovered later on. The pure and new Saint is also a Sterne, who takes her duties seriously. Seira becomes mad with envy, and eventually she is killed. It's really fucked up because Seira really was raised to believe that she could get away with anything. When a better Sterne appeared she was disposed of.
Tumblr media
Sigh...sorry but this is a reincarnation plot for no reason.
Seira reincarnates. This is the world of a novel and the new soul in her is a graduate student, who died in a car crash. She knows the plot of the novel. She tries her best. She does her job. She romances the secondary male lead, because he's pretty tragic. He kills himself at the end of the original novel, when the heroine chooses somebody else. She thinks a peaceful marriage with him will save them both.
Tumblr media
She is dead wrong. As soon as Saint Lina appears it's over. Her fiancé, Callis, becomes her personal guard. He insists its not love, but he starts to ignore his beautiful fiance. Seira thinks Duke Rouche will also fall for her. It is their destiny to pamper and serve the greatest woman in the land.
The saintly and perfect Sterne.
Not her.
Tumblr media
Callis begs. He says he still wants to marry Seira. She's changed. She's no longer evil, and he promised to love only her. He keeps fucking up, but Seira does love him. She gives him another chance. Lina starts saying weird stiff just before the wedding. When Callis tries to assign another guard to her she has a crying fit, but he is too dumb to notice that she's faking.
Tumblr media
Here's some lore for you. Marrying a Sterne is dangerous. If you break your vow you and the Sterne die. Lina lures Callis away with lies. They get stuck in a cabin, far away from the holy wedding hall. Callis has to marry a Sterne to live...and Lina is willing to do it.
She's a Sterne.
The absolute coward does it. He leaves his fiancee for dead and he saves himself.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Seira's bleeding to death at the altar. Rouche marries her to keep her alive. At first he doesn't seem very passionate, but give it time. Weird stuff starts happening. Callis, of all people, becomes jealous despite his infidelity. He starts to stalk Seira, and he demands that she break her marriage with Rouche to remarry him.
Rouche doesn't want that.
Seira also stands her ground.
Tumblr media
Um...so this might sound a little weird. Rouche was enabling Seira in her previous life. He loved her from the start. He couldn't help it. His entire family has been devoted to serving the Sterne for centuries. Even when Seira was an absolute bitch he adored her, and he willing let her treat his castle like her party barn. He is genuinely the main reason why Seira was a villain. Now that Seira is nice they kind of have a healthy relationship. Rouche knows Lina intends to harm Seira, so he feels no loyalty for her. Seira has always been his target.
Tumblr media
Also I guess you have to pity this guy. Callis didn't start acting crazy for no reason. He misses Seira. He loves her very much too. Lina is just a puppet, and so is he. The true villain of the story drugged/manipulated Callis into serving Lina. So his pathetic stalking and begging is genuinely sad. Lina, additionally, is a teenager that has just barely reached adulthood. She is uneducated and brash, which is why Rouche sniffed out the fact that she's a fake. (because he is obsessed with Seira, and the Sterne in general. It's not that shocking that he figured it out.) In the end we get a final villain that is actually a threat, a love that borders on worship on both sides, and real reasons for all of the "dumb" things characters say and do.
Stick around for the ending!
