#courting customs hcs

[italoniponic]

This is not a request, but you're like my favorite Twisted Wonderland person on Tumblr and you're always friendly and I don't have anyone else to share my TWST thoughts with. 😂😭 So I hope you don't mind me sharing this random thought I had. It's so stupid and I literally got the idea from an old TV show I enjoyed as a child where a girl accidentally accepted someone's proposal without knowing it was a proposal. 😂 Please forgive me for the length.

So, the NRC students are from all over, right? Some places IRL have some interesting courting methods that aren't the usual date, proposal, marriage some people are used to (I'm from the US, it's basic and boring here). So imagine catching someone's fancy in Twisted Wonderland. You're friends at first, then there's some unconfirmed but not entirely subtle feelings between you two. Then all of sudden they offer you a gift, or invite you somewhere specific, say a certain phrase to you, etc. And you somehow react or respond in a way and BOOM, boy of your choice thinks you're dating, or even engaged.

Like, Azul is showing you this really pretty pearl or something from the Coral Sea. You think he's giving it to you, so you take it. And now he's all flustered like, "wait a second they think I proposed????" and poor thing is completely losing it internally. He's half like "I'M TOO YOUNG TO GET MARRIED" and half like "Our wedding colors should be the same as the lounge colors..."

Meanwhile with Floyd, he also gave you the previously mentioned pretty pearl KNOWING you don't understand the meaning behind it. You happily accepted it, and then he throws you over his shoulder and starts telling everyone you're getting married.

I think the beastmen would have interesting ways as well, like giving you specific items as a courting method. And once again, you just accept the gifts without knowing and then BOOM, Leona's family is gushing over his "fiance", Ruggie is writing home to his granny about you, and Jack's tail won't quit wagging.

Or Sebek, being half human and half fae, only knows the basics of human proposals- as in, he doesn't realize humans often propose with a ring. He assumes anything jewelry-wise is related. So you somehow come across say, a shiny pin/broach, or something of the sort and give it to Sebek as a gift. And he's just screaming "I'M MARRIED TO MY DUTY AS A KNIGHT" and then chokes out "B-BUT I SUPPOSE I COULD FIND ROOM FOR YOU IN MY LIFE" and you're just like "???"

I'd like to imagine Kalim as the opposite scenario with Sebek: he just gives you a beautiful ring and invites you to a special ceremony and since you're used to his random gifts and parties, you think nothing of it. Next thing you know, he's skipping around school humming the wedding March and Jamil is like "WAIT- KALIM DOES Y/N KNOW YOU'RE GETTING MARRIED?!"

And lastly Malleus. Maybe him inviting you back home has substantial meaning. So he's just like, "would you, Y/N... accompany me to the Valley of Thorns (I can't remember if that's the name)?" and you're like "sure!!!" And Lillia is far too amused to step in and explain to you the meaning behind Malleus's invitation- plus he wants grandbabies so what's the harm?

I have a couple more ideas but this is already so long. Thank you for reading my weird and jumbled thoughts!!!

- 🏊‍♀️ Swimmy (again)

Hi again, Swimmy!~ Don't be afraid of send long asks, I actually like to talk a lot so it goes hand in hand.

Before anything OMG THE BEGINNING JUST MADE ME SO HAPPY To hear that I'm someone favorite fandom person is like, such a honor! And everytime I read that, it feels like the first time and just like the first idk how to respond???? Oh, darling, thank you! It was the sweetest thing to read that <3

Okay, back to the actual ask! Also lot's of fangirling bc I love thinking about marriage and those things

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT With your permission, I want to separate this into a special folder in case I have the sudden inspiration to write an actual fic about it (idk how much of the boys I can cover tho, but anyways). Because the entire concept is so funny and also adorable in a special way

Here in Brazil, people also propose with a ring and all that but some people (as well in other countries) might have some ideas to make the whole thing more different or unexpected. I personally like the good old just kneel down and offer the ring... that might be bc I don't have much patience with surprises most of the time. BUT! When it's that special person, everything suddenly feels more special either way

So yeah, some of the boys having a "tradition from their homeland" to propose could go with me. *shifting to my Silver stan heart* I imagined Silver proposing to me like that. Maybe something that Lilia taught him bc that's the way faeries propose. Or it's Lilia's family way to propose! I made some similar hc in the first years request with Sebek but it was for dating (that maybe faes already understand like some type of commitment) and it's taught in Sebek's mom family. The whole thing of offering a bouquet of rosemary and red carnations that means "love and affection between lovers". I wonder which way Lilia could taught Silver to propose to someone... maybe Sleeping Beauty related somehow?

Talking about Diasomnia, I'll go for Malleus now. He inviting you to the Valley of the Thorns (I prefer this term tbh) to meet his grandmother but he doesn't think about explaining why that's important and Lilia don't wanting either can make such a funny story. Especially bc all faes in the court are arguing about the wedding or some of them are actually planning stuff, and you are just "wow! look at this place, it's so amazing!" not realizing a single thing.

Still on Sebek, the concept of "humans only proposes with jewelry" is wonderful and his response simply hilarious! After that, you take your time to explain to him the "ring" tradition and he thinks he should make up for things by buying you a ring ("after all, we're engaged") and you're split between stopping him and maybe actually being engaged....

Kalim taking you to the nupcial party (like, some special party to celebrate the engagement first) and not realizing that you're oblivious to his real reasons, meanwhile Jamil is like "you gotta be kidding me". The worst part? When you understand things, you decide to just go with it. You love Kalim with all your heart, so why not? That makes Kalim so much happier! But Jamil is so done with you two (he's part of the team "you can't marry someone after so little time together")

Leona and Ruggie's part might be something very traditional and famous from Afterglow Savannah that recall Nala and Simba. I just love that scene of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?", I refer that everytime I can when it's something about Leona and confessing/proposing. But the Upendi in Lion King 2 could go well too! It's just a date together (traditionally, in the jungle part or somewhere next to a water font) and you make a heart with leaf to your partner and let it go with the wind. Rook may do the same since he came from there too

Now for Jack....??? Something with the moonlight, sounds like a wolf pack way to propose. I'll go crazy with this bc he's one of my favorites, hope you don't mind. Oh, imagine him taking you to somewhere you can see the bright moon (specially full moon) and he gifts you with a moonstone collar, swearing with the Moon above you that he'll always be there for you forever tail is wagging, face is blushing hard and you're like "this collar is so beautiful, thanks for the gift!" "u-uh, glad you like it. In our marriage day, I'll gift you something similar but as a ring." "really? wait MARRIAGE DAY?!" (talking for me, I would gladly accept my fate)

Floyd WOULD do exactly that! Jade? The same. One of those situations where you already accepted so, there's no coming back lol Throwing you over his should is probably Floyd way to express his joy and to be quick while announcing the marriage bc he wants the whole NRC to know

FLUSTERED MESS AZUL FLUSTERED MESS AZUL You cracked me with the "Our wedding colors should be the same as the lounge colors..." He's been planning this all this time! But then you're like "oh, but someday I'll happily marry you, Azul... AZUL??" he's dead now, passing a way with a smile on his face bc there's no other reaction to this

Pls, Swimmy, if you have more of those ideas, send me! I loved them! It's was so fun imagining all of this <3 Thank you so much!

hc.

Dream doesn't have the same hangups/taboos around nudity (or, come to think of it, sexuality) as some mortal cultures do. It's part of why his robes are sometimes barely covering him in the Dreaming, like fog or smoke; nudity is to him as ordinary as any other state of being.

#hc. #hc: dream #[ I'm too tired to get further into this. #but he's a sexless being whose existence predates humanity. #and although humanity's existence does change him - humanity affects dreams and not the other way around - like. #yeah. handwaves. #he respects the customs of other mortal cultures - it's why he'll dress like them/look like them when dealing with them. #he's not gonna show up half-nude to the Faerie Court--]

Random HC:

(That I have collected over the past months and years)

Jason had a wolf plushie.

Leo has abandonment issues.

Once Piper gets the go ahead for cuddles, she will not let go.

Leo makes custom jewellery for Piper and Jason.

Jason bites people to show affection, wolf boy.

Luke awakened Percy’s bicuriousness and beckendorf was his bi awakening, Jason was amnesia bi awakening.

Jason went mostly blind after Hera’s true form showing- His eyes look pale blue now, his eyes only work by seeing electric currents now.

After Leo’s rebirth, he can only see through heat vision and a ‘special’ mechanical sense he has.

Will is naturally good at flirting due to Apollo, but is also one of the easiest campers to make blush.

Jason naturally plays rougher in games so Leo and Piper, occasionally Percy, become damage control.

Leo is terrified of loud noises and large fires (e.g: wildfires) due to his mother’s death and his own.

Jason didn’t stay died- Juno/Hera commanded the court which ruled in favour of bringing him back.

Leo and Nico are best friends.

Leo and Will are Texan best friends.

Percy doesn’t actually go deep into the water much anymore due to fear of drowning from SoN.

Annabeth can’t look Jason in the eyes anymore without guilt- mainly because of how much he looks like Luke.

The Stolls took a break from pranks for a while, becoming too nervous to mess up with the highly traumatised, yet powerful, demigods.

Leo, Percy, Jason and Nico don’t like physical touch from most people, reacting aggressively or hypersensitivity from it if it from strangers or someone not in there inner circles.

Jason’s love language is physical touch, but now is he normally just does small acts of kindness instead.

The Seven hate fireworks.

Jason is overly flirty with Leo, but doesn’t flirt with anyone else.

Percy has a siren singing voice, but only in water.

Reyna didn’t recognise Jason at first because of his personality being completely different then before Juno/Hera.

If you yell ATTENTION at Jason Grace he just, bolts up. And pulls a salute, it’s like a reflex action. (Head cannon from other user: @florencethefrog245 )

Leo had a weird distrust in Squirrels, for no other reason than “they seem suspicious- always watching 😐”.

I will probably add more and update this post- but feel free to repost and add you own.

[danikamariewrites]

can i please request a fic/drabble with cassian x reader who is super duper hella shy, like she hates going out in public and when she does she stands behind cassian and tries to hide herself🥲🤍🧎‍♀️

Cassian x shy!reader hc

A/n: this is so cute omg! I got two requests for this so I combined them into one ☺️

Cassian would think your shy demeanor is so cute and he’d be so protective of you

When you first met you were terrified of him

He’s just so tall and muscular who wouldn’t be terrified of the Lord of Bloodshed

Cassian had come into the bookstore you work at

You like your job, it’s quite and not super busy

You mostly stock and do the orders and office work since you don’t love talking to the customers since you were terrified of being yelled at or your social anxiety crippling you

The day Cassian came in your boss asked if you’d be ok alone for your shift. You said yes bc you were scared to say no but what was the worst that could happen

Cassian’s over eager personality scared the shit out of you. He creeped up on you by accident making you drop the books you were holding

But as soon as you started talking to him there was something about Cassian that made you feel so comfortable

After that day he kept coming back and took you out to lunch as friends a few time

He courted you for months bc he didn’t want to scare you off by coming on too strong but when Cassian loved he loved with his whole heart

“So, y/n, I was wondering if I could take you out on a real date?” Cassian had never seen you so excited

You had nodded enthusiastically, saying yes louder than normally, and pulled him into your version of a bone crushing hug

The rest was history

Cass got pretty good at reading you

When you discovered the mating bond everything made sense

Why you were ok speaking to him immediately, why Cass was the safest person you’d ever been around, and why he was so good at knowing what you need

When you met the IC you were shaking at the thought of meeting the high lord and lady

And the fact that these males were his brothers! What if none of them liked you or thought you were faking being shy for attention (you got that a few times when you were younger)

But they we’re the complete opposite

They we’re all very warm and welcoming, though Amren still scares you, you can’t make eye contact with her

You do like to go out with Cassian and take walks through the city

If he sees someone he knows Cass will stop and talk to them for what feels like hours

You cling to his arm and continuously inch behind him until his wings are blocking you

Whenever you’re nervous Cass wraps a wing around you and holds your hand

He always sends love and reassurance down the bond to help you calm down

You do like going out to eat with him, you just hate ordering

Cassian will always order for you

He has your coffee shop order memorized and all your favorite meals from the restaurants you go to

He always checks that that’s what you want and you give him a small smile and send a thank you down the bond

RED SON X READER BLURB ☆ 1K WORDS

Description: How Red Son tends to show his love to his partner :3

Content: RED SON REFERRED TO WITH HE/SHE/THEY PRONOUNS! I personally see her as genderfluid but any hc is cool. Reader is gender neutral

Fic under the cut!

Red Son doesn't really ever say "I love you" 

He might have whispered it once, but you were half-asleep in his lap and the warmth from his hands threading through your hair turned your brain to mush, so you could've been imagining it. Besides that, he's never said the dreaded L-word.

You're not sure why- perhaps an aversion to such disgustingly vulnerable words in general, or his parents hammering lesson after lesson of how displaying emotions so openly is weak. Or maybe it's a lot simpler than that, and the thought had simply never crossed his mind.

Red Son does love you, though. You know this, and they know it too. They tell you they "tolerate your company" and that you're "just adequate enough to be in their presence"- both code words for I like being with you. 

Red Son's love is his driving force- it builds up in his chest and overflows out of him, despite his insistence that his heart is black and cold.

For her family, it's countless nights spent in her lab, working on their next plan to overtake the world, it's trying to live up to her father's legacy, not allowing a single smidge of dishonour to smight her family's name, it's continuing to live in the demon bull fortress, despite the fact that she's over 400 years old now and old enough to live in her own house. 

For his friends, it's reminding them of their self worth when needed- however brash and blunt he may be, it's watching Mei's streams as he works, leaving small comments to show her he's listening, it's helping MK fix up his dreadful noodle-cart while begging him to put it out of its misery and purchase a new one already.

For you, however, it's a bit of a mix of these.

For the first few months of your relationship, it was a lot of trial and error. There was a cultural gap between you and Red Son, demon courting being completely foreign [and frankly concerning] to you. And even if there wasn't, Red Son had no relationship experience. They were still reeling from having friends now, never mind a romantic partner.

Red Son would try to read up on mortal's courting customs [or "dating", as he's come to learn], he'd sit through those crappy rom-com movies and shudder each time they did something over the top, he'd even thought about asking Mei for help, which was just wholly embarrassing, and he totally didn't try to subtly do so only for her to call him out on it and laugh immediately.

It started out with a lot of choppy romantic gestures that just weren't….Red Son, despite how hard he tried to enjoy them, and after a long conversation [or two, or three-], you two eventually found your rhythm, one you both enjoyed and found comfort in.

Red Son built you things- trinkets and machines and the like. If you mention off-handedly that you'd been wanting this thing for ages but just never had the money or time, you best believe they'll be showing up on your doorstep the following morning with a box hidden behind their back. They also fixed things for you- your fridge, your washing machine, your kettle. They grumble the whole time about how out-dated and rusty and repulsive your tech is, but they've never once turned down your requests. They've even offered to upgrade your TV a few times, but you're just too attached to the old thing.

Red Son spends a lot of time with you, even if you two aren't actively engaging in conversation. You'd sit across from each other, or in each other's laps, doing your own separate thing, just in each other's company. Every once in a while you pipe up with a random thought or question, and he shares his own as well before you two fall back into comfortable silence. You like watching him work with his hands, and he likes seeing how passionate you get over your hobbies. He shares parts of his life with you and you do so as well in turn.

Red Son's also shockingly touchy with you. She's not one for grand acts of physical affection- picking you up in public and hand-feeding you syrupy fruits and whatnot, but she will loop her pinky finger around yours when you walk, she'll kiss your forehead just before you head to bed, hug you from behind when she's freshly awake and still sleepily dazed, and once she gathers up the courage to do so, kiss you when her feelings rush through her body and send her hurtling towards you. She always has to be touching you in some way or another.

Most importantly, Red Son tries for you, and for themselves. They still mess up sometimes, they still get scared and terrified and defensive, they're still figuring themselves out, but they try for you. Red Son'll try out a new food just because it's your favorite, or will dabble in new music genres for your sake. Even more than that- Red Son tries to be more open, they try to talk about things they've never spoken aloud before, they try to listen to you- they start taking breaks more often, and eating better, and their self confidence rings a little truer and a little less fake each day. It's more than you could ever ask for. 

So, no, Red Son doesn't really say "I love you", but you don't mind. You hear it in the shared space between the both of you, in the mugs of your favorite drink freshly brewed and handed to you when you're stressed, in the angry notes scolding you for not resting properly, in the brush of his hand against yours. You hear it loud and clear, and you whisper your response into his hair every morning, every evening, every night,

 "I love you, too."

Still too crammed to put out a coherent piece of work so have some random hcs. I didn’t proof read this so I’m sorry for grammar errors.

Random Devildom Culture HCS (Romance/Courtship)

Courtship varies depending on the sin the demon is more affiliated with, but they all essentially do the same thing: showing a potential partner that they value them over their sin. For example, a sloth demon may offer to help a potential love interest with some work.

Demons tend to not do anything without ulterior motive, so if a demon starts doing stuff for you without them owing you/needing anything from you, they probably have a crush.

It’s a very difficult task for a lot of demons which is why it’s considered a big deal to go through with actually courting someone.

If the feelings are mutual, the other demon will de the same.

After proving that this is a committed courtship, then it starts to look a lot more similar to how humans date. This includes things like going to restaurants, going to movies, ect.

Grooming is also a major part of bonding with a partner. This can include buffing your partner’s horns, helping them shed, preening, helping maintain hooves, ect. It builds mutual trust as if a non-loved one where to touch any of these parts, a fight would definitely break out.

Over time, each demon does tend to take on more traits of the other’s sin. (E.g. an envy demon becomes more gluttonous if their partner is a gluttony demon and vice versa).

Demon relationships are more often than not open with both partners still having casual flings, but some couples prefer to keep a closed relationship. It’s not considered taboo either way.

Devildom weddings are a huge spectacle and extremely colorful. Both suits and dresses have various combinations of colors and are almost always custom made.

This is because the colors chosen are meant to come together to represent the unique chemistry of the relationship.

Couples can assign meaning to the colors as they please and it’s very common for keys that discuss the meaning of a couple’s colors to be handed out at weddings.

Demons get something similar to a pact mark after getting married. Both parties get it and it looks like a combination of the two’s sigils. If a human marries a demon, a unique mark is still formed, but it tends to be more representative of something the human has a deep connection to (plant, animal, ect).

Demons can marry multiple partners and many do. Like I said earlier, it just depends on the relationship. A unique mark will form per spouse.

I don’t think demons, with the exception of envy or greed demons, get particularly possessive over a partner. They do, however, get pretty protective. To a human, this can appear possessive as demons can get more aggressive with it, but most demons back off right away or a partner can talk them down pretty fast so it doesn’t often break out into fights.

Because of their lifespan, marriage milestones tend to be every 20 years. Human-demon couples typically adopt the human tradition of celebrating yearly.

If you think I should write some specific courting hcs of the current characters, please let me know. My semester ends in about 3 weeks so I should have more time.

If you liked this, please also consider reblogging/leaving a comment. It really helps my work get out there more and it means a lot.

EDIT: Ty so much for all the support and kind comments this post has received 😭😭 this is a side blog so tumblr doesn’t let me reply directly under this URL, but I wanted to say I’ve been reading all of them with a big smile on my face.

Being poly mates with Feyre and Rhysand HC

Warnings: afab!reader (could be read as gn if you ignore the use of 'girl'), throuple mates, protective mates, fluffy, slight nsfw

boy was everyone surprised when their eyes fell upon you and how fast you just became their's. It wasn't unheard of to have more than one mate but it was such a rare occurrence that many just thought it impossible. Of course the High Lord and Lady of the Night Court did have a habit of surprising everyone.

you'd find it incredibly intimidating in the beginning. who wouldn't?? Feyre Cursebreaker and the Lord of Night, those were the two that the Cauldron deemed your fated mates. Weren't you a lucky girl. You totally didn't feel overwhelmed at all

Outside of the public eye though, they were the warmest beings you would ever have the honor of knowing. They eased you in as smoothly as possible, always checking in on you

Congratulations, you've just obtained two (honestly lets face it, Az and Cass were part of Rhysand's package) sexy and powerful guard dogs. If you had problems with anyone before, you definitely didn't once it was announced that you were their mate.

Cue special treatment everywhere in Velaris.

If you weren't accustomed to finery before, you were certainly familiar with it now. They lavish you with gifts that ranged from books to priceless jewels. Rhys had even bought you a custom made bed frame that was large enough to accommodate all three of you. Your wardrobe was also freshened up with pieces that Rhys' mother had made. Feyre figured it was only proper for you to share in the wardrobe she'd made before her passing. She had half of them tailored to your size

They never make you feel like the odd man out. This is a relationship of equal love. Neither love you any less, jealousy was not an issue with the three of you.

When it came to the physical act of love, everyone took things slowly. Rhys and Feyre took turns each night until you were comfortable enough around both of them. The first night ALL three of you have sex, no one lasted very long with the roaming hands, tongues and sounds that were swirling around the room.

You're always squished between the two of them during public outings. In the Hewn City, Rhys has Feyre on one knee and you on the other to really throw out a power move

Helion is definitely jealous that Rhys has not one, but two beautiful mates to call his own.

When you can't be with them, they leave you in the safety of Cassian and Azriel.

It does something to Rhys when he prepares to hop into bed to sleep and finds you and Feyre already curled up together. Your foreheads pressed together with hands clasped together.

You're Feyre's new painting muse. You're embarrassed by how many paintings of you there are throughout the house. Cassian teased you relentlessly

The question of titling you as a High Lady as well was discussed. You chose to go with High Consort instead. Less responsibilities but you still garnered respect and less important duties that would not jeopardize the country. You didn't want that level of responsibility on your shoulders. Rhys and Feyre were handling matters of the realm perfectly fine themselves.

Rhys loved playing with your hair when he's absentmindedly doing work.You liked the quiet of when Rhysand was working. The perfect time to curl up next to him as he looks over papers, your own book or article in your hand. He'd also cast little glances at your cute face. He takes in the line of your nose and the subtle curve of the corner of your mouth. He can't resist startling you with a kiss to your cheek.

For once, they had the Cauldron to thank for this extra blessing that came in the form of you.

[oepionie]

i headcanon that gifts are a major part of merfolk courting practice; provider instincts and all probably play into it a lot too. imagine either of the tweels giving their S/O a pearl necklace or a sea-glass anklet or bracelet. Floyd would also be more likely go out of his way to hunt down whatever tf his earrings are made of just to gift something matching to his S/O; if he can't find it, he might just wrangle a shark for its sharpest tooth. Jade would make enough trinkets and accessories to dress his S/O up from head to toe in record time (even comparing to most other dedicated lovers and courting, its FAST) ..now, here is the 2nd part of the hc; in some parts of the tradition, the couple elopes/marries after the one being courted is adorned with said hand-made accessories. Jade probably has a ring ready too if he suspects S/O to want that, it is probably made of sea glass and is adorned by a black pearl, if his S/O accepted enough accessories so far he knows (hopes) S/O will say yes.

sighs dreamily.. ii have feels for the eels

ADORNED IN PEARLS & SEA GLASS. tweels

→ SWOONING

→ YOU'RE MAKING ME SWOOOONNNN, TWEELS WOULD MOST DEFINITELY DO THAT

→IMAGINE JADE STAYING UP LATE, WORKING LONG HOURS JUST TO HANDCRAFT A PEARL NECKLACE FOR YOU.

→ Probably spent months scouring the sea for the brightest and most luminescent pearls he could find

→ And if someone else got to those pearls before him? Well, Jade was not opposed to having a "talk" with the unfortunate soul.

→ He's also probably read more about human wedding/courting customs which is why he made a ring as welll

→ THE RING IS ONE THAT HE KEEPS WELL HIDDEN, WANTING TO MAKE SURE ITS PERFECT BEFORE GIVING IT TO YOU!!

→ Now, onto the next brother-

→ FLOYD WILL FIGHT A HOARD OF SHARKS JUST TO GET YOU A SHARK TOOTH JEWELRY SET 😭😭

→ Mans will swim up to their turf and just start throwing hands, anything for his beloved shrimpy after all.

→ He'll come to you all bloody and beaten up (there is a huge ass bite mark on his tail/legs, someone get him to a damn nurse)

→ But he's still smiling so wide and holding up a fancy (suprisingly neatly wrapped) gift box for you to take.

→ The tweels would be so giddy everytime you accept jewelry from them because they take this as a sign that you're accepting their courting attempts/affections

→ Once they take you to the Coral Sea for a visit, they'd be so smug about the jewelry 😭

→ Their parents probably thought you two were already engaged eheh

→ Don't worry though, the tweels will wait until you're ready

→ But if you don't mind...surely you also wouldn't mind if they paraded you around as their fiancee/mate then? Hehe

Hello

Can you headcanon for S boys teaching you how to dance for a vampire ball?

And can it be fluff and slight NSFW if it applies

Hi there, Anon!

Thank you so much for requesting! Sorry for the wait. I hope you don’t mind but I decided to go all out for this post since I had a lot to say. I included what you wanted but added a bunch of other stuff that contributed to the subject and turned it into a vampire ball alphabet. As much as I wanted to include all of the brothers in one post, Tumblr's limitations on posts are restricting me from doing so. So with this, the other S brother’s versions will be out soon, and I’ll link them to this one when they’re finished. Hope you enjoy Shu’s version. Feel free to request again anytime. :)

Additional note: I extended my alphabet and added additional hcs because I hate limiting myself to just the standard alphabet alone haha. Cuz like who tf does that lmao? xDD

Made with: @liannelara-dracula

***Before we get into the alphabet and hcs, let’s get into some context about this scenario***

Since there's much more to vampire balls, I figured I'd cover a whole bunch of stuff that happens in them as well.

So, to start off, even though the Sakamakis have lives to maintain in the human realm, every so often they’re summoned back to the demon world by their father with some sort of excuse.

And one of those excuses (of many!) Karl arranges for them to attend a vampire ball every so often since he has to provide some alternate form of entertainment to his vampire nobles, so why not have his sons attend since they’re the talk amongst women in the demon realm?

It’s one of the many perfect excuses to make them come and do what Karl wants, and there may be more to this depending on what he wants from his sons.

His sons are what everyones’ eyes are on, so he expects them to be flawless in every way, including how they act and such since they’re royalty.

So, who they choose to bring to balls is no exception since they not only have to appear perfect, but their dates must be as well.

The same goes for their dancing, especially since they’ll all be participating in their own dance pieces with their dates, so it has to be perfect. Since the boys are all required to have a performance of their own, they’ve just stuck to waltzes due to tradition since they’re classy and sophisticated.

(We’ll get to the types of dances danced at vampire balls in just a sec!)

Traditionally, all members of a royal household would perform their own dance pieces before the nobles got the dancefloor for themselves and started dancing all different types of dances. And you can bet Karl definitely holds this custom strong at the royal court.

It’s something he insists on due to tradition, and bear in mind that his sons may even be forced to dance with other vampire nobles if the situation calls for it regardless of who they take to the ball as their date.

After all, if one of his sons refused to dance with a nobleman’s daughter, it would be an offense and you can bet Karl would punish any one of his sons if he found out about this.

And as their dates, you have to be prepared to dance with other nobles if they seek for your hand, and no refusal is accepted without an adequate excuse.

Bear in mind that the boys most certainly act differently in the demon realm since they need to appear “perfect”—so no “off” behavior, it is strictly forbidden and enforced by Karl himself since he has an image to uphold as the king of vampires. So basically, the bad traits they display in the human world, they’re not allowed here, or at least, some are a bit faint or muted.

The luxurious vampire stereotype originates from the Byronic Hero. So since vampires are depicted to ravish in luxury and live lavish lives, balls in demon realm are highly luxurious.

They are usually a mix of baroque or victorian in style since Karl really liked the elegance from these time periods.

Since balls encompass a mix of baroque and victorian style, the dances danced at court are usually quadrille dances, the Courante, the Bourée, the Gallopade, the Sarabande, the Laender, the Minuet, the Rigaudon, Bohemian Polka, the Gigue, the Hornpipe, the Gavotte, L’Allemande, and the Viennese Waltz.

Here are some videos for reference examples:

Quadrille: (1), (2), (3). Gallopade: (1). Laendler and Bohemian Polka: (1). Viennese Waltz: (1). Minuet: (1). Sarabande: (1). Gigue: (1). Bourée: (1). Hornpipe: (1). Rigaudon: (1). Gavotte: (1). Courante: (1). L'Allemande: (1).

These dances are the ones nobles usually dance since they all group together and dance after each royal family member has finished their personal performance with their date.

But Karl honestly doesn’t mind if sons don’t use the waltz as their personal dance piece because he likes being up with the times in the human world along with modern human customs.

But as mentioned before, because the waltz has been used by the boys as a tradition for so long, and it’s a classy, sophisticated dance, he’d much prefer it since you can’t go wrong because some modern dances will be viewed as vulgar even though contemporary society doesn’t view them that way.

Traditionally, men pick out their partner's dresses since women are just puppets for status display.

Since the entire ball will consist of vampires who are constantly battling to find something to quench their thirst, human servants are definitely supplied to the palace that night to not only serve the noble guests but also be their appetizers if desired. These servants are pretty lifeless and are not allowed to speak whatsoever, so they’re just thrown around anywhere by these vampire nobles and Karl could care less if they’re killed. He literally has other servants to clean up that type of mess.

And like any other ball, food will be served. At Karl’s balls, he prefers to have human world food since it’s a luxury for vampires as Reiji has mentioned. And all the nobles look forward to it because it’s not all the time that they get to have a taste of human-world food that is delicate compared to their grotesque and “off” cuisine.

Since the boys are royalty, they’ll be introduced to nobles, and you as their date will be as well.

Nobles are required to curtsy/bow to them when greeting or meeting them for the first time, so you can best bet you’ll be getting the same treatment as their date.

It’s canon that the demon realm has an official demon language, but since this is high society, most are educated, and because Karl likes adding humanistic elements to his events, he mainly requires everyone to speak English since it's the most popular language in the human world, but the demon language is still allowed

Side note: English is only taught to vampire nobles in the demon realm since Karl requires them to know it. It’s considered super high education since English belongs to a world most vampires can never go to.

Karl usually hosts his balls at his private castle where he rules the entire vampire kingdom, the main royal court basically.

Or, he sometimes holds them at the castle he has set for his sons to use when they marry off.

(It’s canon that Karl has one main castle for himself where he rules, and one for his sons to refuge to if needed. It’s also used as another home for them as seen in one of the game routes.)

Hopefully this all makes sense thus far haha!

So with this, let’s move on to the boy’s extended alphabets + additional hcs. :)

This is going to be a long ride since there’s a lot of stuff to cover, so feel free to grab a coffee/tea or whatever. :)

General Hcs:

He honestly hates the idea of balls in general.

And in the demon realm it’s much worse since he has to set a perfect impression due to being the heir.

@liannelara-dracula and I have headcanoned that Karl doesn’t tolerate Shu’s laziness when it comes to demon realm-related things. Karl lets Shu get away with it in the human world, but not in the demon world.

There, Shu is the heir—the next king—and the last thing Karl wants is for the heir to be viewed with an unamiable trait unfit for a future king.

So yeah, his laziness—Karl won’t tolerate it here, and Shu will receive punishments if he disappoints in anyway so.

It’s mostly because he had an image to maintain as the heir, which means having to put in effort that he doesn’t want.

In the past, balls for him were always annoying since he was presented with suitresses or had to engage in small talk with noblemen, it being just a bunch of forced effort.

As the heir, his mother nudged him a lot to choose a suitress as well, so a lot more pressure and annoyance was added.

Shu just doesn’t care about things like this—it’s as simple as that, but there’s no way he’s getting out of this.

And you can bet there was a lot of scolding/nudging from Reiji and Karlheinz to get his ass in gear for the next vampire ball in order to maintain the family image, but yet, he was still unwilling.

He was honestly so reluctant that it even took Laito to give him a nudge.

At first, Shu refused, but when Laito said that dancing would be the perfect excuse to touch/hold his lover close and show others that they're taken, he had second thoughts about it all.

Plus, with Shu receiving a final threat from Karl to be launched into space also put him over the top to get moving for this event.

Vampire Ball Alphabet:

A || Advice

🎻 What kind of advice does he give his s/o before the ball?

Bear in mind that vampire balls are total snake pits. There’s a lot of wandering eyes and curious ears.

Women’s lips are the main source of gossip in the royal court and they’ll try to set you up with other suitors even if you’re taken, so Shu warns you to not pay any attention to them.

“But how exactly am I supposed to shake them off without being rude?” You’d ask.

“It’s simple.” He’d answer with the usual hazy look in his eyes. “Just tell them what we do in bed and they’ll buzz off.”

“Shu!” You’d smack his arm playfully, causing him to chuckle at your reaction. “I meant more appropriate advice.”

He’d sigh. “Just ignore them, they have nothing better to do anyways.”

Also, remember that everybody there is trying to get info out of you regarding Shu since he’s the heir.

And this can be pretty intimate in query, even going down to asking if you two are planning to get married any time soon, which lets them know if they or their daughters have a chance because even if you’re Shu’s partner, it doesn’t stop others from pursuing him regardless.

Basically, in the demon realm, only married people are off-limits. Until then, they’re still considered “single.”

Shu also warns you about the male nobles as well, such as how some will try to pursue you either for fun or just an advantage since you’re close to the heir himself.

B || Behavior

🎻 How does he act at the ball? What does he do while there?

Bear in mind that at vampire balls, he’s acting.

And putting on one hell of an act considering he’s ditching his usual lazy persona and putting on the “heir” facade.

Plus, Karl’s watching his ass like a hawk to ensure he doesn’t get lazy during the event or ditch/leave early.

In general when Shu’s speaking to nobles at the ball, he’s polite but rather cold with his words. It’s all minor small talk that he’s simply not interested in, but gives it his all because he can’t be rude or avoid conversation unless he wants to be sent to the North Pole again, or better yet, outer space (it’s canon that he’s worried about being sent there next for a punishment).

As for you, he likes to keep you close to him since he doesn’t want others roping you into trouble since this isn’t a world you’re familiar with.

C || Class ranking

🎻 Which social classes are allowed at vampire balls? In the world of royalty, only specific classes of nobles are allowed to speak to the noble family. So with this, which ranking of classes is he comfortable speaking with, or does he not care about this sort of thing at all?

In general (apart from the royal family), only dukes/duchesses, marquis/marquises, counts/countesses, earls/viscounts/viscountesses, and barons/baronesses are allowed to participate in royal balls since it takes place at court.

In addition, an invitation is required in order to enter and participate at the ball.

When it comes to nobles speaking to him, Shu could care less about which class they’re in.

I mean, it’s canon that he brought Edgar to a ball when they were kids so he could participate, so class ranking is the last thing on his mind since Edgar was a village boy. Shu could honestly care less about that shit.

If someone approaches him even if they’re not supposed to according to their class, he’ll speak to them regardless, but will try to brush them off quickly since he doesn’t want to attract attention.

Sadly, it just looks bad in the demon realm for him to speaking with someone of lower rank.

Ugh! Those classist, arrogant, vampire nobles!

D || Dance lessons

🎻 How does he teach/prep his s/o for dancing at the ball?

Now, when it comes to dancing, it’s just something that Shu knows how to do due to being the heir, not something he really enjoys like a certain fedora-wearing vampire.

But because you’re going with Shu, he actually doesn’t mind it, but he considers prepping to be a bit of a drag.

He was pretty apathetic about teaching you at first.

Not because you sucked or anything, it was just because he was being his usual lazy self.

You both had just returned home from school and were now standing in the manor’s ballroom.

With the usual hazy look on his face, he’d sigh, “Let’s just get this over with.”

As stated before, each member of a royal household has to have a dance of their own with the person they bring to the ball (the waltz I mentioned earlier); and these are performed before the nobles have the dancefloor to themselves and dance among themselves along with members of the royal family.

Since he has to perform a dance of his own with you, he’ll definitely focus more on that special waltz than the other dances since this is the one that really has to set an impression.

But he’ll also be teaching you other dances as well since you might have to dance with other nobles if you’re asked to.

Shu would begin by teaching you the basics of the waltz first, such as how to hold his hand and where to place the other, even going down to how close you two need to be in order to dance properly.

When you first started, you thought you were close enough to him, but that was until he put a hand on your lower back and pulled you closer to him, almost to the point where you felt that you were grinding into him.

A subtle hint of blush rose to your cheeks due to the proximity, and of course, because he noticed and loves to tease you, he has to say something.

“Heh, admit it, you like being on me.”

“Shut up!”

And bear in mind that this is only the beginning of his antics.

Shu’s not strict like Reiji when it comes to teaching you, but bear in mind that he’s expecting you to dance right and make it look presentable at least (to which you are of course!).

When it would come to movement, Shu would begin to teach you where to step, but in all honesty, he insists you follow his lead since he gets lazy to explain.

Just let him do all the work for once, seriously.

If you’re wearing leggings, tight pants, or short shorts, he’s definitely going to smack/clutch your ass while practicing with you.

Like, you’ll be so focused on following his lead along with the music, that you’re letting your guard down, which is where he’ll decide to throw you off.

“Shu, quit it! You made me mess up.”

“What? You’re the one that got distracted.” He’d smirk, playing oh-so innocent.

If he’s dipping you, he’ll purposely drop you just to annoy you.

“Shu!” You’d complain, pain echoing in your body due to the sudden impact of hitting the ground.

“Heh, my bad.” He’d chuckle, a smirk soon following. “Guess I forgot to catch you.”

“Ugh!”

Even though he won’t admit it, but he does like to twirl you. He just loves the idea of spinning you and roping you back into his arms. He also thinks you look pretty while doing so.

Because he’s preparing you for something he has to make a perfect impression on, you can imagine the practice goes on for quite a while.

At some point, if you get tired and your breath begins to hitch due to it, he’s definitely going to be an ass and tease you about it, his stamina far above your own.

“Heh, are you tired already? You usually last longer when we-,”

“Shut up!” You’d say, playfully hitting his arm, leading him to laugh.

Luckily though, Shu’s lead isn’t very tough to follow and you end up picking up his style and pace, thus dancing pretty well with him.

Shu does rectify a few things in order to hone your skills, but isn’t too picky—as long as it’s right and looks presentable to a noble audience, that’s all he’s expecting from you.

Not like Reiji where he expects perfection.

As for the other dances, they were fairly complicated when it came to movement and speed, and you kept stepping on his feet or in the wrong direction.

Surprisingly, he doesn’t get mad or even irked no matter how many times you’d mess up, he actually found it funny.

Sometimes, he’d even trick you and make you go in the wrong direction when it was supposed to be the opposite, which led you to scold him every time he’d do it since he found it amusing how much you trusted him.

“Shu, stop it. At this rate, I’ll never get it.”

“Heh, who told you to trust me?” He’d slightly smirk.

Will sometimes poke your sides to make you jolt and mess up.

But nonetheless, with enough practice and teasing, you ended up learning the other dances pretty well and felt pretty prepared for the ball.

Fingers crossed.🤞

E || Etiquette

🎻 How does he teach his s/o ball etiquette (language and actions)? How does he teach his s/o ball-relevant table manners?

In general, when it comes to teaching you he barely explains.

He usually explains about once or twice because he's too lazy to reiterate and practice/demo with you.

He is so vague about everything, it’s enough to drive anyone crazy. It’s the lazy-ass in him.

When covering table etiquette, he gets exponentially lazy with explaining what each utensil is for.

For example, he’ll tell you that a utensil is for something specific, and then when speaking about it again, he’ll tell you it’s for something else.

"Shu, a minute ago you said that spoon was for soup!"

"Oh, really?” He’d say, his voice tainted with its usual haze. “Guess I was thinking about the second spoon then."

He'll even make up rules just to throw you off.

Or to make matters worse, he’ll just start making up stuff that’s enough to have your eyes roll.

“They say the people that start with the third spoon have really dirty minds.”

Countering his remark, you’d say, “Then I can guess which one you start with.”

He’d only end up laughing at your remark, finding it amusing as his teasing is relentless to cease.

If you're really struggling tho, he’ll step in and help a bit more.

But he honestly just loves teasing you and seeing you mess up since he finds you getting angry to be amusing and hot.

While you’re busy looking at the set plate in front of you and trying to figure out which utensil to pick up next without his help, he’ll purposely throw you off such as poking your side or licking your ear.

“Shu, quit it! I have to figure this out.” You’d scold.

“It’s the first fork on the right.” He’d say, revealing the answer to which utensil you were supposed to pick up next.

“Ugh! You weren’t supposed to tell me. I’m the one who has to figure it out.”

When teaching you the proper ball etiquette (language/movement), it’s honestly an adventure.

You actually end up forcing him to practice because you need help since you don’t want to say the wrong thing, and like usual, is he much help? Nah.

He will laugh if you mess up, and if you ask him for clarification he’ll lie to you just to embarrass you during practice.

Of course, you'll realize that he's messing with you sooner than later, which leads you to playfully hit him, to which he laughs and gets a kick out of.

And after enough teasing, he'll then tell you what you actually have to do, such as how to take his arm when walking and such.

If you do or say something that is a little too scandalous for a ball during practice, he'll point it out.

For example, at some point you wanted to take off your silk gloves (you’ll be wearing them at the ball obviously, so why not practice with them on) during practice because it was getting a little warm after wearing them for a while.

And with this, Shu would be quick to say something since women removing their gloves was considered sexual at one point. And in the demon world, they still think that way.

“Well, aren’t you a lewd woman.” He’d tease.

“What?” You’d question, having no idea what he’s talking about.

“Your gloves.”

Feeling confused, you’d say, “All I did was take them off?”

With his gaze elsewhere, he’d add, “It’s suggestive.”

“How so?”

Quickly pinning you to a nearby surface, he’d smirk, “Heh, I could show you.”

“Shu!”

And because this is a royal ball, it’s certain that hand kissing will happen.

So when practicing this, he may lick and take a drink from your hand or fingers since it's canon that Shu likes drawing blood from these areas.

Additional E-word || Eye-contact

🎻 How often is he keeping eye contact with you? Is he constantly keep an eye on you during the ball or does he let you go off and do your own thing?

Shu prefers that you stick by his side during the ball to avoid the trouble of people pestering you and possibly roping you into trouble.

However, he’s not going to be strict with you and insist you stay glued to him the entire time, so he lets you venture whenever and wherever you please.

But make no mistake that his sapphire eyes are constantly wavering over to your figure to make sure you’re doing okay and that no trouble is arising.

You sometimes meet and lock gazes with him for a split second since he’s averting his eyes to you every few minutes or so.

He even does this when conversing with other nobles! 

It’s honestly crazy how no one questions him about it, he’s just that good at hiding it and acting totally normal.

But you know Shu only does this because he knows this is all new to you, and the last thing he wants is for others to take advantage.

You wish he wouldn’t worry so much, but you can’t change a vampire’s protective nature. And because he’s acting composed while being observant of your safety, you let it slide even though he’s on edge.

F || Fashion

🎻 What kind of attire does he pick out for his s/o?

As mentioned before, men pick their partner’s dresses according to demon world tradition.

Shu honestly wanted you to pick it out since he could care less about some silly custom of the ancients, but Karl wasn’t having this since like I mentioned before, he has no tolerance for his laziness for demon world-related things.

So, considering this is a vampire ball, which showcases luxury of all sorts, the dresses are expected to be extravagant and princess-like whether someone likes it or not—so it means layers upon layers before finally putting the actual dress on.

And all that layering was quite annoying, but pain is beauty as they say.

And with this, Shu teases you about the layering, but more so in a lewd way.

“Y’know, you can’t say this is exactly fair.” He’d say, eyeing you in the gown. “All those layers will be tiresome to take off you after the ball is over.”

“Shut up!”

Since he has to pick it out, he kinda ranges between blue or yellow or even gold in color since he thinks they’ll look beautiful on you.

Dress examples that he may pick out for his s/o:

Dress 1 (shoes I found that could match)

Dress 2

Dress 3

Dress 4

Dress 5

Dress 6

Dress 7

Dress 8

(Note: You can pick out any dress/garments/accessories you want, these are just examples.)

Additional F-word || Flabbergasted

🎻 Something his s/o does at the ball that leaves him flabbergasted.

If you happened to refuse one guy who wanted to dance with you (all with a good excuse of course) and you explicitly said no because you thought he was creepy.

That would make Shu’s day and he has to say something about it.

“That wasn’t royal-like.” He’d tease chuckling under his breath, soon approaching you.

“Well, you're the only one that really has to behave.” You’d mention.

“Is that so? Are you saying princesses can be naughty?” He’d tease.

“Shut up!”

G || Gallantry

🎻 Is there anything he likes to do with his s/o at balls? Scandalous even?

Shu honestly just likes being by your side and not much else.

He’s quite lazy, and balls are not a thing that piques his interest.

Although, if Shu sees an opportunity, he’ll definitely do something scandalous with you, such as kissing you when no one’s looking—he finds this really amusing, especially if he can kiss your shoulders or neck and catch you off guard since you’re not expecting it.

And if you just so happen to sound lewd to him while doing so, he honestly can’t contain himself.

“Heh, sounds like you want everyone to hear you.” He’d smirk.

“Shut up.” You’d half whisper, playfully hitting him in hopes of no one noticing, leaving him to slightly laugh at your retort.

Additional G-word || Gift

🎻 Does he give gifts to his s/o before/at the ball/or after?

Considering this is a royal ball, and because he’s the heir, he’s definitely expected to give his date something before they go to the ball.

In the past with his dates, he’d usually just give them whatever, as long as it was luxurious in value, it just pennies to the family’s fortune.

But since you’re his girl, you’re special, so he’s take time into giving you something meaningful.

The one time he isn’t lazy.

Since you mean a lot to him, he’s going to give you two gifts, but both as a surprise of course—one before the ball and one during the ball so others can watch him spoiling you. It’s a way for him to show his devotion towards you and that he’s not planning on seeing anyone else.

Before the ball, he’d probably gift you something along the lines of jewels. Apart from it being a thought in regards to you, but it’s also something for you to wear to the ball and add the perfect accessories to your attire.

During the ball however, he wants to give you something that will definitely call everyone’s attention.

He probably got it all wrapped up in a super cute and intricate box with silk ribbon and a bow to finish it off.

When it comes to this gift, he’s probably going to give you something like a small cat or dog with a satin bow around its neck.

Now, I know this may not seem like a super royal gift, but vampires in the demon world find animals from the human world to be fascinating since the animals in their world are demonic and unapproachable.

So a cute, docile thing like a cat or a dog is enough to send them over the edge in awe and possible jealousy since they can’t have one due to the demon realm being inhabitable for human world animals.

H || Honor

🎻 Undoubtedly, since you’re this prince’s date, people are going to have a million questions about you. So when asked about you, how does he speak about you to other nobles? What does he consider you as/what does he think of you?

Shu already knows that he’s going to be bombarded with a lot of questions regarding you, so it’s no surprise to him when it happens.

He actually handles this subject pretty well and is rather prepared.

Since you’re his date and not married to him in this scenario, he just tells nobles that you’re someone he’s interested in whenever he’s prompted with this question.

The reason why he doesn’t say you’re his girlfriend or whatever is simply because it isn’t sophisticated in this world because nobles are old-fashioned and still stuck in the Baroque and Victorian periods.

And who back then called a woman their girlfriend back then? No one. It was either they were pursuing them to become their wives or they already were.

Shu has to drop the modernism here since the ball’s guests are far from understanding modern customs to which he can his brothers have somewhat adapted to.

I mean, it’s not like the Diaboys have accepted every modern idea from the human world.

So Shu has to be very careful with his language here regarding you since he doesn’t want to come off as vulgar or too modern in an out-of-date world, especially since he’s the heir and the one most girls want to pursue because of his title.

I || Image

🎻 What kind of image does he uphold at the ball?

Shu upholds the image of being the heir, and really does try his best since he doesn’t want to be punished for not acting as expected.

As was said before, he’s acting.

So no laziness or plopping down on a couch to listen to his MP3 player, or attempting to leave early—none of that!

He comes off as this dutiful heir that still has a lot to learn compared to his father, but is very well prepared for what’s to come when he succeeds the throne.

So basically, he’s viewed as perfect for his position as heir and prince at the moment—prepared, knowledgeable, but not more than his father yet.

And because Shu’s so good at faking this active-heir facade, people fall for this faulty image of him, and he’s viewed as the ultimate future king.

Karl gets lots of comments regarding Shu’s “preparedness” for the throne, to which Karl fakely appreciates.

Deep down, Karl knows his son’s just a lazy-ass that is nowhere near succeeding him and isn’t the “perfect” heir he displays himself to be.

J || Jealousy

🎻 How does he feel if you have to dance with someone else?

Shu knows this is unavoidable, but there isn’t much he can do since there’s no law prohibiting it in the demon realm.

It’s viewed as respectful, and in your case specifically, it’s an honor for anyone who gets to dance with the heir’s date/partner.

Some believe that by doing this, it may secure them a place closer to the king and/or future king by dancing with their partner. So you can best bet you’re going to get asked by many at the ball.

Shu may seem controlled and demonstrate a cold exterior to everyone there, but deep down he’s a little annoyed by you having to dance with someone else.

And Shu’s definitely going to be observant of who dances with you, how many times they do, and how they’re touching you while doing so.

Omg his pettiness.

And he’ll be doing this while being all stone cold towards it and acting like it doesn’t bother him when it does.

And if he sees that you’re getting too focused or wrapped up in it, he’ll try to distract you while you’re dancing by sending you seductive stares or mouthing dirty words in your direction to throw you off guard so you’ll mess up and the dance will stop.

Or better yet, if his jealousy really gets the best of him, he might even step in and make a surprise entrance by joining the dance himself, leaving you quite shocked since you’re not expecting it, and leaving one guy out of the group singled out since Shu took his spot in dancing with you lol xDD.

K || Karlheinz’s approval

🎻 What would Karl think of you as his son’s date? Does he approve?

Shu doesn’t really like the idea of presenting you to his father, but he knows that as the heir, there’s no way he’s going to get out o this.

Plus, he’s Karl’s favorite son, so the bar is set quite high on who Shu chooses to date/bring to the ball.

Karl’s honestly pretty interested in who his sons bring to the ball since he likes to mingle and get to know them.

Karl most certainly took a liking to you since he knows Shu won’t bring just anyone with him to the ball.

He’s not Laito.

For Shu to bring you, and not some random noblewoman as he had done in the past countless times, Karl acknowledges that you’re quite special to him.

And if you really set an impression on his father and he takes a liking to you, he may even ask for a dance with you.

Shu definitely doesn’t like this since he knows his father’s prone to literally “pounce” on just any girl. But Shu can’t exactly say no to his father dancing with you since it might lead to him getting punished.

So Shu decides to let this go since it’s pretty harmless, but make no mistake that he’s watching Karl like a hawk to make sure he doesn’t try anything foolish or plan anything later on.

Hell, Karl even flirted with Yui once, but that’s another story.

So you can best bet Karl might do the same thing to you if his interest and liking to you took him far enough, but Shu would be quick to intervene and prevent him from doing so.

Karl may even show romantic interest in you not because he means it, but it may be to piss Shu off and to see how much he really cares about you since Karl’s not close with his son, thus, not really allowing him to know much about his heir’s love life (to which he takes high interest in!).

This mischievous mf!

L || Libido

🎻 Is he into pre/post-ball sex?

Mmm, if there’s one thing Shu looks forward to about this entire thing (probably the only thing if he’s in the mood), it’s post-ball sex.

Especially because the ball is over and he can be himself again lol.

He really loves the idea, especially since he’s just been eyeing you all night in that dress and restraining his desire for you, being eager to put it into play.

He’s not really into pre-ball sex because there’s just too much going on with preparations and such before the ball, so he won’t bother with it.

But post-ball sex, he’s very much into it.

For instance, you’ll be alone in your room beginning to settle down, your delicate hands taking off your jewels, reaching up into your hair to let it down from its torture of being kept up and tied down with bobby pins for hours.

It’d be mere minutes of silence until he’d show up to your room, his figure coming up behind yours to help you undo your corset, both of you sharing a few words about the ball until you’d find him at your neck, placing a few soft kisses as he’d trail them down to your shoulders, his hands seductively pulling down the sleeves of your dress in the process. It wouldn’t be long until he’d pick you up and carry you over to the nearby bed, eagerly hovering above your form to feed his yearn of having you under him and all to himself.

And you can best bet Mr. Heir prefers that you sleep naked with him after sex.

Doesn’t give a shit if servants or his brothers walk in on you two in the actual act or in the morning and see you two in a nude state under the sheets.

Shu honestly hopes that they do so he can rub it in and show them that you’re his.

In the game routes, we see how any individual Sakamaki brother gets worried about another brother stealing Yui away from them. An example of this is Reiji worrying that Shu will steal Yui away from him.

And this paranoia also extends to their own servants because in one of Shu’s game routes, one of the butlers was acting a little too friendly (and a little creepy) with Yui. It was heavily indicated that Shu was jealous upon seeing this, so with this, you can imagine that he likes flexing the fact that you're his—especially in such a vulnerable state such as sex or after sex.

But, bear in mind that even though Shu loves the risk of getting caught in the act or its post-state by his brothers or servants, one thing he could never live down is if Karl or his mom walked in on him in either situation.

With Karl he’d be less embarrassed if he walked in on him, but because Karl’s pretty suggestive, he’d be the one getting a kick out of it.

As for his mom though, Shu would be most embarrassed if she walked in on him in either state…. And she in fact has!

Beatrix didn’t catch him in the literal act, but rather after sex when he was lying down with a chick he once brought to the ball the night before.

She was so honestly disappointed since she didn’t really like the girl.

And as pissed off as she was, she approached the both of them, told Shu that she wanted to speak to him about “family matters” and then walked out.

He literally didn’t care that she walked in though. He played neutral and was slightly annoyed and just went on like it never happened.

Damn, I’ve derailed us too much in this category lmao.

But I guess these extra details were needed. Yes?

M || Mistakes

🎻 How does he cover up his s/o’s mistakes if they accidentally mess up?

Shu knows you’re bound to make mistakes during the ball since all of this is so new to you.

It’s not like you’ve been raised with it like he has, so he’s expecting that you’ll mess up.

And just like magic, he’s there to back you up.

For example, if you get confused about what to say with a noble when a conversation goes in a direction you didn’t expect, he’ll either interrupt or come up with an excuse to pull you away.

Or if he can’t do that, he’ll send you some kind of signal as a form of guidance on what to say next or change the subject.

Overall, he has your back the entire time and knows you’ll be fine, but still, he’ll step in in some way if he deems it necessary or senses that you’re having trouble.

Additional M-word || Manners

🎻 What’s he like at the dining table with you?

Shu actually doesn’t mind the dinner table part of the evening.

It’s mostly because he gets to sit down. xDD

And here you’d think he’d be tranquil to sit next to because he’s sitting down and relaxing, but he’s a teasing fuck.

He’s going to do everything in his power to tease you, especially since you’re stuck at the table in front of many others for as long as the dinner session lasts.

But bear in mind that he has to be careful and do it in ways where no one suspects that the heir is being scandalous or when no one is looking.

He’ll run his foot up and down your leg while you’re sitting there in tranquility, all to have you look at him as he gives you a small smirk in return for acknowledging his antics that are unknown to the others around you.

he gets a kick out of teasing you with his touch and does it to get a glimpse of your legs, or at least feel them.

And to make matters worse, he’ll also do this if you’re speaking with someone and getting really deep in conversation with them just to throw you off or get you to jolt and mess up in your conversation.

He’ll get an even bigger kick out of it if the person asks if you’re alright because of you acting slightly off, but you’d be quick to deny it and say that you’re fine when you know it’s just the asshole next to you.

Shu’s a secretive fuck when he wants to be playful in these settings, so this is one of many ways that he demonstrates this.

Might poke your side every few minutes or so to make you jolt, which you glare at him for because he’s trying to make you lose your composure in front of others. This is all to get you to yelp, and if you do even in the slightest, he can’t repress from sending a devious smirk in your direction.

Might whisper some smack or laugh about certain nobles with you amidst the rumbling of the dining room.

Will whisper seductive or lewd things into your ears if he wants to be bold, it’s mostly just to get you to blush.

Might even run his fingers down your spine in a quick fashion to give you a rush and/or throw you off.

And his teasing fuckery won’t stop there. He’ll even mess with your hair while you’re looking in a different direction just to get your attention, and when you’d turn back, he’d be quick to make it look like he wasn’t doing anything.

This ass- like I-

As far as partaking goes, if you get stuck regarding which piece of cutlery to pick up first (I mean, it’s possible that anyone can forget if they didn’t grow up in this environment), he’ll just nudge your arm with his elbow and whisper the answer or to just copy him since he literally can’t teach you at that moment.

N || Names

🎻 How is he addressed/announced? How is his s/o announced upon arrival?

As is seen in balls, guests’ names are announced upon their arrival.

It’s canon that the Sakamaki brothers are referred to as “Masters” of the household, but because they’re also royalty, they’ll be addressed differently in a hierarchical setting, especially when arriving at a ball and being announced.

And to be honest, this part is most amusing to Shu about balls since he finds announcing people’s names to be kinda funny but also cringy since it’s an old tradition.

“Heh, should I tell them to announce you by your nickname?”

“Shu, quit it!” You’d say, playfully smacking his arm, leaving him to chuckle.

Based on his royal status, he’d just be addressed as “His royal highness, Prince Shu.”

For you, Shu decided to have you addressed as “Her royal highness, Princess Y/N” despite you not having the actual title of princess.

By having you addressed this way, it gives you a higher position in court and a much grander presence and entrance. He mostly wanted it this way because you’re special to him and doesn’t want people to think you have no title.

Just be prepared to answer questions about your “royal family” and connections since nobles are curious, especially since you’re the heir’s date. But no need to worry, Shu prepared you for this part.

But at the end of the day, this title bs doesn’t it doesn’t really matter because you’re still his princess anyways, title or no title. :)

O || Objection

🎻 Since you’re not married to him, suitresses are bound to be presented to him at the ball regardless since people believe he’s still “available,” despite you being in the picture. So, how does he handle this situation with you around?

Shu acts pretty distant and kind of colder than he usually does in this situation.

And let’s just say that some girls are a little irritated by this factor, especially if they’ve danced with him in the past and were looking for some sort of chance of pursuing him.

It honestly gets so bad that girls brush up on him just to make you pissed off.

And their scheming is just so obvious since they keep making faces and demonstrating gestures that literally prove that they’re trying to steal him from you, which leaves you pretty irritated, but Shu warned you about this before hand so it’s something you expected.

However, it’s still pretty annoying….

And these girls literally do anything to get his attention since they’re interested in pursuing the heir, such as coaxing him to dance with them, to which he has to do because punishment awaits if he offends a noble.

The girls will even try to pull him aside for themselves or just engage in conversation a little longer than needed. And you can bet those conversations lead or have the potential to be semi-sensitive in nature.

Shu would take note of your irritated aura, finding it amusing that you were jealous since it proves to him that he’s your weakness.

But as stated before, he warned you about this and is aware that you know, and that you have to tolerate it based on royal etiquette.

But as a form of reassurance, he sends you a few looks here and there and watches you go about the ball on your own as he’s busy doing whatever with the noblewomen.

The stares he gives you are kinda like his form of morse code if you will. He’s forced to act respectively to other nobles even if they have intentions he doesn’t like, so it’s not like he can say much here.

P || Performance

🎻 How’s he like when he dances with you at the ball?

Ah, the moment you’ve both been preparing for, it being a bit nerve-racking in all honesty.

Shu knows it’s impossible for you to remember everything he taught you, so he just tells you to go with what you remember and to follow his lead.

Due to him having so much experience with this, he makes the dance look perfect if you forgot, it’s honestly surprising.

Don’t ask me how he does it lol.

He may minorly converse with you during the dance tho, and possibly whisper lewd things in your ears to get you to blush.

Although, Shu may throw a move in the dance you two didn’t practice, it’s mostly because he lives for catching you off guard. As discussed, some modern dances in the demon world may be viewed as vulgar, but because Shu’s the heir, he can get away with adding a bit of spice in there to show that he’s cultured regarding the human world, to which Karl doesn’t mind, as long as the move isn’t too scandalous.

So with this, Shu may do something like lifting you or dipping you, to which you give him the most surprised face since it wasn’t practiced while he just gives you a small smirk in return.

And you can best bet that with seeing this, every other woman in there wants the same treatment from him since he’s a favorite among the pursual of noble women. xDD

In the times when balls were used, if two danced more than two dances together, people automatically assumed the pair was engaged—so you can best bet that this is how people think at court in the demon world since they’re old fashioned.

So with this, Shu likes to dance more than two dances with you to make everyone think you’re engaged to him so it eases the pestering of nobles—in other words, it gets people to screw off you and him a little in regards to romantic pursuals.

But like hell Shu would tell you what dancing more than twice with each other means.

He just prefers to be secretly scandalous with you being oblivious to it, but may tell you about this later on if he wants to tease you.

Q || Quarrel

🎻 If you two had a fight before the ball or a minor spat during the ball, how will he deal with the heavy aftermath when surrounded by nobles and expected to uphold the family image?

Shu’s not really the type to fight, but it’s very possible that you could quarrel with the narcoleptic vampire before or during the ball.

It’d be a pretty unexpected thing since Shu’s pretty carefree and kind of difficult to fight with since he’s easygoing.

But whatever the case, if you two did have a fight/spat before or during the ball about whatever, you best bet he’s going to do everything in his power to get your attention that night.

Even though he’s already dropping his laziness for this event, he’ll go out of his way even more to talk to you.

And if you’re giving him the silent treatment, it only intrigues him to pursue you more because he hates the fact that you’re ignoring him.

And that’s the thing, Shu hates it when you do that, especially because he knows that the fight could’ve gone better than it did.

Bear in mind that he’ll do lots of different things to get your attention tho, and he’s petty af about it all.

He’ll range from doing all sorts of things because he wants to fix it, such as staring at you from far away, leaving you to avert your gaze elsewhere.

If he says something to you and you don’t give a response, he’ll make you jealous by him dancing with another girl and putting his hand on the back of her shoulder, which is pretty suggestive since the vampires at this ball are centuries old and have a different mindset regarding the concept of touch.

Tries to get you alone so he can talk to you, or if you’re standing on the sidelines not talking to anyone, he’ll get sly and try to approach to talk to you, to which you ignore or end up walking away from him.

Shu may even get mischievous with his approach if he sees that you keep avoiding him in every possible way, such as if he’s coming your way, you instantly revert to going a different way to keep clear of him, or look for some kind of excuse to get away from him.

For any Anna Karenina fans out there (ME! xDD), he’ll act like the way Vronsky did with Anna in that one scene where he’s going around the room trying to ask her to dance while she’s trying to avoid him in every possible way.

(For those who have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, here’s a clip of what I’m referring to in case you’re curious. ;)) If it doesn’t work, start it @1:09)

R || Rendezvous

🎻 Is he the type to ditch/leave balls early with his s/o?

He wants to, but he knows he’s going to be severely punished for it since Karl’s expecting a lot from him.

I mean, how does it look if the heir leaves early without an adequate excuse? It just doesn’t look right.

It’s almost like a host leaving their party and leaving the guests to carry it on. Long story short, it just doesn’t put someone in a good light really, him especially as the heir.

Karl cares a little less if his other sons leave early, it just depends on who it is, but it can’t be too early either.

But when it comes to Shu, Karl expects him to stay the entire time and not present excuses since deep down, Karl knows that Shu’s just trying to get out of it and avoid his heir-responsibilities.

In the past, Shu ditched once and he learned the hard way. Like, he paid dearly for it and Karl hadn’t even sent him to the North Pole yet.

Believe me, if Shu could, he would leave early—or better yet, not show up at all since he finds all of this to be a drag, but because he doesn’t want to be punished, he does what he’s told to the bitter end of the event.

S || Speech

🎻 Does he have to give a speech at the ball? If yes, what is he likely to include in it?

As the heir, he’s definitely required to give a speech every so often.

Shu’s not super talkative in general, so he likes to keep things short and sweet in his speeches.

The subjects of these speeches are pretty general in nature, ranging from what his current plans are as the heir, how he’s planning to pursue his Royal oaths, or new ideas Karl wants to implement into the kingdom, all ending with the same ending of thanking everyone for attending and that everyone’s enjoying themselves.

So, business speeches in other words. Nothing personal since he’s not allowed to express an opinion as the heir.

T || Touch

🎻 What types of manners does he exhibit with his s/o in front of others?

Since he’s the heir, he has to be very careful with how he behaves around you, and how he interacts with you since others are constantly laying their eyes on him.

He’s mostly pretty reserved and mostly just links his arm with yours since intertwined hands are not viewed as sophisticated at balls.

He’ll sometimes hold your hand in that rather delicate fashion if he has to walk or lead you somewhere, kinda like this.

At the very most, he’ll either kiss your hand or your forehead, never anything more than that in front of others since it’s considered vulgar at balls.

And bear in mind that a kiss to the forehead will only be given once during the entire evening, otherwise, it starts to look scandalous. It says a lot just doing it once.

If you’re standing next to him or slightly in front, he sometimes lightly touches your upper arms or shoulders, just to reassure you that he’s there and that you’re his girl and no one else's.

U || Unity

🎻 What does he wear to show his unity with you? Like a matching ring or outfit, for example?

In order for Shu to indicate and show that you’re taken, you both decide to wear matching couple rings to the event.

Or if Shu really wants to be bold, he’ll take things a step further in showing that you’re his.

Since it’s canon that he likes to bite and drink blood from fingers, he may bite one of your fingers and leave the mark of his fangs on it for others to see.

Or he even may bite the back of your hand, this way if a noble has to kiss your hand before dancing with you, they’ll know that you’re marked as Shu’s and will think twice about having other ideas regarding you.

Oh, this devious little shit.

V || Valiant

🎻 Every prince is known to be noble for something. What is he noble for?

Believe me, for Shu to be born as the next heir, there’s a real reason for this.

@liannelara-dracula and I think that in the demon realm, heirs are chosen by some type of fate or magical force beyond any immortal’s power.

And this force specifically chooses specific individuals to be rulers for their kingdoms, be they either Vampires, Viboras, Wolves, Adlers, or First Bloods.

And if this “force” sees that anyone else takes the place of the heir it originally chose, this “force” considers it an imbalance and because of this change against “fate,” it may cause chaos/ruin to the certain kingdom, thus, leading it to fall.

In one of the game routes, Reiji himself specifically said that being king of the vampires is harder than anyone can imagine and imposes a large amount of responsibility. Reiji also stated that Shu possesses qualities that are fit for him to be on the throne, whereas he does not.

So with this, it really seems to show that specific people are chosen to be heirs for a reason.

We seriously think it’s the force lmao. xDD

So, because Shu’s actually meant to be king (apart from his lazy facade) and possesses qualities fit for the throne, he’s actually noble for quite a few things even though his laziness prevents him from being someone greater.

He’s probably most noble for being decisive. When he’s hit with making a decision, he chooses a side and stays with it until the bitter end. Once his mind is made up about something, there’s no changing him.

He’s also the type to remain calm even if everything around him is falling apart, making him really centered since he keeps his composure and acts upon the situation instead of expressing emotion towards it. So, he’s definitely noble for this trait as well.

After all, as he grew up, he was constantly reminded by his mother to not let his emotions get the best of him and that a king must never express his opinion nor how he really feels since he must be seen as this rock the entire kingdom sits upon, that it can not falter even the slightest no matter what the kingdom goes through.

W || Words of admiration

🎻 At the end of the ball, it's proper for guests to leave cards for the host about how the balls were and such. So, how does he feel about reading cards addressed to him specifically since he's royalty?

Because Shu’s on the edge of seat to get out of there, you two view the cards the next morning.

Not that he’s very interested, but because you are, he bothers to listen and look through them with you.

Some of the letters are written in their demon world language, so he’s gonna have to translate those for you lol.

After any ball Karl has hosted, Shu would honestly get so many cards it's ridiculous. It’s just endless piles of letters that he’d never read and would tell the servants to burn because he could care less.

Or in worst-case scenarios, Karl would force him to read them in hopes of choosing a future wife if a girl’s letter piqued his interest. This is because Karl’s a big-time advocate of finding a woman’s words to be enticing, and he figures that Shu may be like him in that sense.

Oh the weird kinks of the vampire king

But anyways, Shu makes an exception to read them with you for your sake since you deem it as right to read them in the first place. It’s just plain courtesy.

Oh geez, I sound like Rei rn lmao xDD.

“Aw, look at this one.” You said, beginning to read it aloud, “To a lovely couple and future king and queen. I wish you all the best. Thank you for gracing us with a beautiful evening.”

“Heh, sounds like every other letter.” Shu would smugly comment, his back against his chair as he appeared to be fed up.

“Shu!”

“What? Everyone says exactly the same thing in these letters . . . .” Drawling further with the usual haze in his voice, he’d add, “Whatever…”

Sighing deeply, you’d nudge, “Could you at least try reading one? It’ll take me hours to get through all of these myself.”

“It’s too much of a bother. I don’t have the energy.”

You rolled your eyes. “Fine.”

Leaning over in your chair, you extended an arm to grab a few more letters from the pile, only to feel a large hand clutch your ass.

Whipping your head in his direction, you scolded, “Shu!”

“What?” He’d say, acting oh-so-innocent.

“You don’t have the energy to read the letters, but yet you have the energy to do that.”

“You’re right there, plus, I didn’t say I didn’t have the energy to do nothing.”

“Whatever.” You’d sass, leaving him to chuckle as you sat down again, his lips quickly finding themselves on your neck as he adorned it with a small kiss.

“Heh, you’re feisty today. If you want me to read them with you, I will on one condition.”

“And that is?”

“Strip.” He’d suggest.

“Shu!”

Honestly, can anyone ever get him to do anything without a scandalous price?

X || Xanadu

🎻 Is this event heaven or hell for him?

To be honest, its more of a hell for him.

Especially because he’s constantly being bombarded by suitresses and nobles who are dying to speak with the heir or have a potential chance with him.

It’s all just bothersome to him since deep down he knows most are out for his title.

But because you’re there with him, the ball is much better, more bearable even.

It actually isn’t too bad tbh.

But Shu honestly can’t wait until he gets home so he can take his suit off and your dress and jump into bed after a long night.

And you can best bet you’ll be spending a lot of time cuddling with him since he claims you’re his favorite body pillow and his remedy to truly relax.

Y || Yearning

🎻 What’s something he yearns for during this event?

To leave lmao. xDD

But apart from this, he really just wants to spend time alone with you.

If he can step away for a little, Shu likes to take you to another part of the castle ground, more specifically the garden/courtyard so he can go for a walk with you just to talk and tease.

I said this in another post, but I’ll say it again, if Shu really wants to get scandalous and has a bit of time to spare, he likes ditching the ball and going into a secluded, closed-off room with him for a bit of intimacy with you before going back out to face all the guests again.

And if by any chance you forget to fix your hair and come out looking like a mess that’s been under the touch of Mr. Heir, Shu’s all for it and will send you seductive stares from afar even if he’s busy conversing with other noblemen.

Z || Zealous

🎻 Is there anything he’s passionate about regarding the ball?

Nothing really.

Shu’s just attending this ball as a total chore set upon him by his father. And it’s been this way for as long as he can remember.

He may enjoy a classical piece or two played by the band at the ball, but other than that, there’s literally nothing he’s passionate about since this is a forced gathering with a bunch of people who are out for his title, and he knows this all too well by now.

Although, with you around, the night becomes much more bearable and feels like it goes by faster because as they say, time goes by when you’re having fun.

So even though he’s not free to do whatever he wants with you because he’s in the company of nobles and playing the “perfect” heir, he’s still happy you’re around because it distracts him from the cons of balls.

Aww :’).

Additional Hcs (uncategorized stuff):

🎻 Y’know how many girls Shu’s brought to balls in the past? Too many to count.

🎻 It was always been the same thing for him, and these “dates” were always ranged from girls his mother forced him to bring, suitresses his father presented him, or some high class snob from Ryoutei or his father’s dinner parties in the human world from time to time.

🎻 And each time it was a different experience depending on the girl he brought.

🎻 Some would constantly smother, nag and/or annoy him, to which he found cumbersome. But of course, he had to act polite since Karl would punish him if he was rude, but Shu wasn’t afraid to be colder than he usual towards a girl he brought and demonstrate some indifference that was passable.

🎻 If his mother was beside him by chance and noticed this rudely “cold” behavior towards a girl or just if Shu was acting this way because he was annoyed to be at an event his father hosted, she’d minorly take hold of his arm, give him a minor pinch that was unnoticeable to others and whisper in his ear to get his act together and to stop acting “unamiable.” Shu would give his mother a slight look of annoyance and would resume his perfect heir act all over again. If it isn’t Karl that will give him a punishment for acting in such a way, it’ll be her.

🎻 But some girls Shu brought were actually nice, but he simply couldn’t bring himself to like them as a potential partner. This is mostly because Shu just hates the idea of match making and deems it as an “unnatural” way to meet a romantic partner. It’s just a turn-off to him.

🎻 Overall, his ball-dates have just been a bunch of girls he simply had little to no interest in, or if he did have some interest, it didn’t last long or was just a fling.

🎻 Random, but since this is a space where no specific category reigns, Shu would like to see you get tipsy and kinda let loose on the dancefloor.

🎻 This would seriously make his night since it would be breaking all formality, to which he’s all for since he’s tired of the rigidity his royal lineage imposes on him.

🎻 In fact, he tries to get you drunk/tipsy during the ball bc he finds it funny.

🎻 And if you happen to fall into either state (tipsy or drunk), he literally lives for the chance of you saying something you shouldn't say out loud.

🎻 Asshole.

[italoniponic]

Hello again! It is I- Swimmy back to pester you again! Unfortunately the fanfiction I was writing got deleted from my Tumblr drafts. 😭 So to cheer myself up I came up with more of the proposal headcanons I sent you a while back and I remembered you enjoyed them, so I decided to share the new ones as well! (Also I noticed one person that replied to the first post knew exactly what old TV show I was referencing and I nearly died laughing over it).

So in my last submission, I mentioned Floyd basically tricking you into a proposal, right? Well I can see Jade definitely doing something similar, but much more subtle than his twin. He'd be more like, "do you like this pearl? Yes yes, it is beautiful... do you want to keep it?" and you're like "yes! thanks, Jade!" but then Floyd starts squeezing you and talking about how you're going to be in-laws... cue panic. "JADE YOU CAN HAVE THE RING BACK." And Azul is already drafting a prenuptial agreement for you and Jade. 🤣

I know last time aside from Kalim I only really talked about the mer-people, the beastmen, and the fae But who says the humans can't have odd proposals as well? Or there could just be some miscommunication. Like Trey bringing you a cupcake or something from his family's bakery. But unfortunately, Trey accidentally grabbed a special cupcake that was meant for a customer's proposal, and there is a ring hidden inside... so you either bite the ring and nearly break a tooth, nearly choke on the ring or you manage to spot it and pull it out of the cupcake. Either way, you're looking at Trey like "we haven't even gone on a first date???? this is a little fast!!!"

Riddle, poor, poor awkward Riddle. I like to imagine that flowers have significant meaning in Twisted Wonderland, and maybe a certain bouquet can be viewed as a marriage offer? And you somehow aquire say bouquet/arrangement and bring it to Riddle as a gift. "Here, I know how much you enjoy flowers. :)" "... WHAT?!" and he thinks you're messing with him even though you're genuinely clueless, but he can't even do "off with your head" as punishment because you don't have magic so it basically does nothing to you.

I also had the idea that maybe Ace tries to convince you to "fake marry" him so he can tell his family that he's got a partner. I didn't have anything for Cater or Deuce. 😭

Kalim got some attention last time, and he's gonna get more attention for Jamil's part, actually. Even through everything that has happened with them, Kalim obviously still loves Jamil like his own family. And family doesn't let family end up alone. Kalim also knows Jamil fairly well and has definitely noticed the way Jamil's gaze lingers on you a little longer than anyone else. So Kalim takes matters into his own hands... he brings you various treasures from Scarabia and kneels before you... "will you... MARRY JAMIL?" Jamil wants to throw himself off of a cliff and you're completely lost because you thought Kalim and Jamil had invited you over for a game night??? But in a different scenario, Kalim just asks Jamil to give you some specific gifts and deliver them directly. It doesn't occur to Jamil until *after* you've accepted them that he basically just gave you a bunch of proposal and marriage related stuff and now he's on his way to murder Kamil.

On the topic of being proposed to for someone else: Ortho. You can't tell me that this kid wouldn't catch onto Idia's big huge crush on you as soon as it developed. I think it's canon that he can see Idia's heart rate and stuff? I can't remember but either way, the Ignihyde leader nearly goes into cardiac arrest when he's near you. So Ortho being the sweet kid he is, basically brings you back to Idia's dorm and says something like, "you may kiss the bride" and Idia just freakin' passes out. You're confused and Ortho is like "did I do a good job?"

I'm gonna throw Malleus in here again, because I'm still laughing over the thought of just roaming around his castle like "ooh this place is nice :)" and not even noticing the fact that it's literally being decorated for a wedding.

I don't know a whole lot about Silver, but I wonder if he sleep talks? He falls asleep while reading and you're sitting next to him. He's repeating the last few lines that be has read from his book before dozing off, and one of them happens to be "will you marry me" and you panic and say yes because it was so sudden. If it had just been the two or you, you probably would have told Silver once he woke up, you both could have laughed awkwardly and then moved on... but dammit if Lilia wasn't eavesdropping!!! He's ecstatic!!! A wedding between his precious son and you? AND POTENTIAL GRANDBABIES??? You can't come back from this now. It's been ten minutes and Lilia already has your "save the date" cards being sent out and he's picked a venue.

Now if it were Lilia... I couldn't see him being sneaky about a proposal since he's canonly apparently older than dirt. I also don't think he'd accidentally propose either, but maybe he just happens to find a gorgeous ring somehow and gives it to you as a gift, not knowing the ring was an engagement ring. You find it find and try to explain to him what kind of ring it is and just rolls with it like "oh, okay. Will you marry me then?" and have no chance at saying no because in his head he's choreographing your first dance together naming all twelve of your future children.

What if you were asked to help Vil practice lines for an upcoming movie or something, and he has to "propose" to you in the scene? Somehow or another, paparazzi manage to get a photo of you assisting him and they take the story and run with it. It's all over the news, "Vil engaged to mystery woman?!" And he's getting so much publicity on it that he's considering *not* making a statement clearing up the situation... I mean, you should feel HONORED, really!!

Rook is pretty "flowery" with his words. I feel like he could just talk to you for a few minutes and propose without you even realizing it, like "would you walk with me to the very end?" and you think he's just asked you to go on a literal walk and you're like "yes Rook, of course". He swoops you up bridal style and is just overjoyed that you said yes!!! No take backs!

And Epel, bless his heart. I can just see his family all being like "when are ya'll getting married" because he talks about you so much and doesn't have the heart to correct anyone. Maybe at one they manage to pawn off the family ring on him and it leaves him with no other choice than to propose. There's no motivation like peer pressure!

I'm struggling to remember who all I had HCs for in my first submission, I don't wanna repeat anyone and be boring but I don't wanna miss anyone either. So much potential. 🤣 it's also almost 4am where I live and I can't sleep. I apologize for grammar errors and the length!

-🏊‍♀️ Swimmy

Welcome back, Swimmy! <3 For those who doesn't know or remember, it's the anon from this ask about proposal headcanons (there: Azul, Floyd, Leona, Ruggie (but not much), Jack, Sebek, Kalim, Malleus). I also want to correct myself bc talking about Jamil in Kalim's part, it was meant to be "you can't marry someone after so little time" but I didn't noticed it was typed "you can" lol

Ooh, my sweetie, I'm so sorry! I hope you can rewrite it somehow. idk if you can, but use google docs to write. It has automatic saving (or you can set it, i think) and even if the internet goes off suddenly, it doesn't take much from the actual work and you can fastly copy-paste to other archive just to keep it safe in these cases. I know bc this happened to me a lot of times. Hope everything turns out okay <3

I really enjoyed! idk how it shows but for my mobile, it's one of my popular posts alongside two Malleus requests! And its all thanks to you <3 Thanks again for blessing us again with these beautiful (and funny) hcs

(I also know That's So Raven but it's been so much time that if you put a reference, I possibly didn't noticed lol)

Jade being sneaky even in this. Why I'm not surprised? I love how Floyd is 100% subtle in everything he does and OMG AZUL DOING THE PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT I'M DYING LMAO

ngl this would be a great idea for a Trey scenario! The reader's quote and then Trey being all panicked and embarrassed bc well, he thinks about it in rare times and since it's you, why not??? 10/10 best story for the wedding party three months later

I LOVED this idea with the flower bouquet. Riddle being a total flustered mess and it just doubles when Ace and Deuce give you two their greetings in "this, oh so lovely, celebration of love" (Ace knows you're clueless and he's gonna enjoy this + Deuce actually thinks you just proposed and it's trying to be supportive). Eventually someone explains to you what that bouquet means but... here's the thing: you does a face like "oh, so you won't accept it then?" and you seem really sad and Riddle just takes the damn flowers off your hand and says "I DO" and storms off the lounge but at least you're happy now

ACE FAKE DATING/MARRY TROUPE OMG it's so simple but you know what? I would love seeing this. Just the development of Ace being "okay so we're faking it!" to "I hate how I love you so much" and now you really need to marry lol

THE "WILL YOU MARRY JAMIL" GOT ME ON MY KNEES

It's like that one incorrect quote that Person C proposes to Person A in Person B's name lmao. I'm 100% for this, it's pure canon, you got my blessing. No thoughts, just Kalim stopping the banquet to make a huge announcement, he kneels before you, everybody panics, you panics but Kalim just ask you if you would marry Jamil and everybody just... whattafck is going on??? Jamil doesn’t know if he goes to you or strangles Kalim with his own bandana but then you get up and say “Oh, geez, you got me scared Kalim bc I actually love Jamil. I would love to marry him!” “YES!”

“Sorry to interrupt but,” Scarabia student B says, holding Jamil who just passed out, “We lost a soldier here”

Ortho really watched every one of those kids movies about setting up adults in relationships and he’s about to prove all those theories. Idia absolutely can’t do anything to stop him. I can also see Ortho showing you and Idia one slideshow about the statistics of the simulation of your married life plus a really sweet (and kinda embarrassing) 3D simulation of your game avatars marrying (like in Animal Crossing or smth like that)

Oh, Silver sleeping talking and just blurting out a whole proposal from this book he's reading (plus if you were the one who recommended it). I would be a total mess. Lilia is one of those moms who are just "so, when are you going to marry?" after the son/daughter have two weeks of dating

HE'S ALREADY MAKING THE SAVE THE DATE CARDS OMG

Lilia have the "it was an accidental propose haha well unless??" energy with the wiggling eyebrows, nobody can't convince me otherwise

TWELVE CHILDREN

Vil's life is probably one of those teen movies about celebrities at this point

This is such a Rook x Reader situation, it's perfect lol you just panicking in his arms and asking "u-uh, we aren't going to walk?" "yes, amour, for the rest of our lifes!" "... that's a pretty long walk, huh" (← still don't get it, wait for when Rook is asking about your measurements for the wedding clothes)

The "old family ring" trick! You can't escape it now, Epel lol I can see him all awkward with the ring box in his hands, looking at you then looking at his family being all supportive and cheering on him ("ya can do it, son!"). Epel looking kinda dead inside bc romanticism isn't one of his most favorite things but his line about being a prince in a white horse in gm event will always stays in my heart

(okay, so here we did for Jade, Trey, Riddle, Ace, Jamil, Idia, Silver, Lilia, Vil, Rook and Epel) there's only Cater and Deuce left, maybe next time?

not a problem, dear! It was fun talking about this again <3 Now sleep well (not that i'm one to talk) and until next time. Thanks for sharing your accidental propose thoughts with us again~

Siren Goddess Reader Hcs

Y'all voted for this, sorry if it's bad

I don't write fanfiction often lol

Fem reader because i specified goddess and i don't think i'd be good at gender neutral

Warnings: some stalking, mentions of kidnapping, mentions of selling people, mentions of drowning

Enjoy!

Before i get into reader and freminet, i feel like some info about my ideas on sirens should be shared

Sirens come in the following three forms:

Shallow water:

These are the smallest sirens. They tend to stick near the surface and around islands, often have tanner skin. They feast on small fish and land animals. They closely resemble mermaids, except with sharp teeth to eat meat.

Open water:

These ones are longer than shallow water sirens. They swim in to deeper waters and don't go near land often. A little more blue in skin tone than shallow sirens. They swim way more than shallow sirens, so they have more fins to help them swim quickly. The fastest of the sirens, they hunt larger fish.

Deep water:

These sirens are HUGE. Because they live in the depths of the ocean, they can grow to extreme lengths. They don't often go to the surface, because of this their skin is unnatural shades of blue. They often have claws. They don't chase their prey, they evolved to swim at consistent speeds for longer distances. Their color allows them to blend in, stalking their prey silently.

Y/n is most like a Deep water siren, however she's not actually a specific kind of siren. She's technically a mix of all three.

Also some backstory

Y/n was friends with Egeria (hydro archon) before the archon war. The sirens used to all live in the dark sea, but frequent hunting caused them to seek shelter in Fontaine.

When the archon war began, Y/n knew she wasn't strong enough to become an archon. But she couldn't allow her daughters to die. So she asked for help from Egeria.

Egeria agreed to help, and sealed off a large underwater cavern so that only Y/n could allow people to enter and exit. The sirens all hid, and haven't been seen since.

But even queens surrounded by their children get lonely, so Y/n finally decided to take a trip into Fontaine.

Freminet just wanted to go for a beachside walk. He didn't expect to come back with a clingy fish lady.

How Y/n and Freminet met:

Y/n had been seen by some people in her half siren form, and they were trying to capture her to sell her. She was perfectly capable of defending herself, and was about to, but Freminet stepped in, thinking she was in danger.

Freminet had recognized her from an old fairytale.

One about hideous monsters disguised as beautiful sea women that lure sailors to their deaths. She fit the description of them, except the tail. He thought that maybe the fairytale had some truth, and that she was an endangered species, hence why he decided to help her.

In awe of how a human could care enough about a creature like her to fight his own kind, she decided "he's adorable. He's mine now."

She fully planned on keeping him in her domain, but when she picked him up and started walking away, he freaked out (he thought he was gonna be eaten), and convinced her to let him go home.

They ran into each other by "coincidence" (Y/n stalked him until the perfect time to reveal herself) later and had an actual chat. Freminet learned that no, she didn't plan on eating him. Y/n learned that it's actually morally wrong to stalk people and very creepy, along with what kidnapping is.

Human customs are so strange.

Y/n is already infatuated with him right away, but Freminet doesn't quite like her like that yet. At most its a simple "she's really interesting, i wanna get to know her better" kind of thing.

Though that starts to change as Y/n makes an effort to court him with sea related gifts and cute dates.

Also, she can carry him.

I think he'd just swoon over a lady who can literally sweep him off of his feet.

He's always trying to be strong for other people, he needs someone to be strong for him so he can lower his guard for once.

And who better than a giant sea goddess who's head over heels for him?

He'd have a wonderful time in her domain.

So many sirens... if only the looks they were giving him weren't ones of hunger and bloodlust...

At least the caverns are gorgeous.

He wouldn't be able to explore her domain on his own for a while. Too many sirens that have been deprived of their favorite food for too long.

Once they start to understand how attached their queen is to this human, they back off.

Back to Y/n being in Fontaine

Freminet (obviously) can't stay in the caverns forever. So he has to leave for long periods of time.

But without her favorite human to occupy her, Y/n quickly finds that the caverns are too boring.

The sirens are all big girls. They can handle themselves! At least until Y/n gets back.

Of course, she has to go about it differently than last time (Freminet banned her from exiting the caverns without him unless she disguised herself.) She forgot that sirens are nothing but a myth to humans now, so showing up in her semi-siren form will only attract unwanted attention.

The solution? Human form!!!

I think it'd be funny if her human form was a little bit shorter than Freminet. Amongst other sirens she's HUGE. But if she was scaled down like other sirens, nope. Below average length. Which is why her human form is on the shorter side.

The sirens find it hilarious. Y/n, not so much.

Of course we can't forget about our favorite twins (wonderful transition i know), Lyney and Lynette!

As funny as the whole iCarly smoothie scene is, i don't think they'd meet Y/n in her semi-siren form or her full siren form right away.

The house of hearth is in the middle of fontaine, Y/n is NOT sneaking past that many people.

Freminet also wanted to wait a bit before letting his siblings meet her. Y/n isn't exactly... caught up on human culture.

After a month of dating though, the twins get suspicious of all the "walks" late at night that he's been taking.

They immediately figure out he's been going on dates with someone, just haven't figured out who.

At this point, Freminet deems Y/n educated enough on modern Fontaine to only be slightly strange.

So the twins finally meet her in her human form.

But they know something is off.

It's uncanny valley for them. She looks human, acts human, talks human, but you just get that feeling that something isn't right.

Freminet doesn't seem to notice their discomfort. Or maybe he does, and he's just praying that the months worth of lessons he gave Y/n didn't go in one ear and out there other.

Lyney puts up a front. He doesn't trust Y/n one bit. But he doesn't have any reason to start a commotion. So he acts friendly and observes for now.

Lynette i think would be a bit conflicted.

She's like Lyney in the sense that she doesn't trust Y/n. However, Freminet is smiling and chatting happily with somone who isnt from the house of hearth or the traveler. He's opening up to someone without the help of his siblings.

She decides that as long as Y/n doesn't hurt Freminet, then there's no issue with her being human or not.

It's still gonna take some work for them to fully trust her.

They'd find out shortly afterwards that Y/n is a siren.

Lyney, wanting to learn more about this strange girl who just showed up one day, suggests that they follow her home.

Lynette finds it ridiculous at first, but she can't help but be curious as well.

So they follow Y/n and Freminet from a far.

I honestly don't think they'd be that surprised when they see Y/n shift into her half-siren form.

"You mean the random girl who's never been seen around fontaine before, has no records of existing EVER and has a strange fascination with trying to drown fishermen, is a siren? How shocking. :|"

Like, they're not surprised that she's not human. But the siren thing? A little shocking. Actually, Freminet spends 80% of his days in the water diving. So maybe they shouldn't be that surprised.

Y/n knew Lyney and Lynette were following them. She doesn't care. She may not be able to win in the Archon war, but she damn sure can keep two human magicians silent.

Unfortunately, now things are awkward. Lyney and Lynette know that their brother is dating a sea monster. Y/n is too smug for her own good.

Freminet is struggling. How did he get into this mess?

Whenever Freminet leaves to hang out with Y/n, Lyney tells him to "not let her eat him alive"

Most people think it's a joke. Freminet knows it's genuine advice.

--------------------------------------------------------

I think i'm running out of ideas.

Lyney and Lynette finding out that Y/n is a goddess would have to wait for another day

Feel free to request some things if you have any ideas! I think i'll only write for Freminet for now though

Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!!

MORE HEADCANONSS!!

Ask and ye shall receive

Kuai Liang was very young when the Lin Kuei took him so everything he learned about violence and whether or not it is appropriate he learned from the Lin Kuei. Given how much they discouraged affection and attachment, this basically means that the only way he knows to express how much he cares about someone is by doing something violent on their behalf.

He gave Hanzo a severed head once and was very disappointed when Hanzo did not immediatly understand that as a declaration of undying love.

Hanzo on the other hand joined the Shirai Ryu as a teenager and there's a whole set of courting customs that the clan has. One of those customs, in my headcanon, is making a mask for your partner as like an engagement ring (also based on some of Hanzo's masks and the one we see Takeda wearing, I hc that Shirai Ryu masks always look like teeth, so if you've seen that one mask Kuai Liang has that looks like icy fangs set into black metal, yk what I'm referring to)

Hanzo gave Kuai Liang that mask after the rest of his little gestures went unnoticed and when he saw the cryomancer put it on for the first time, he was Affected By The Sight.

They also cannot keep their hands off of each other, like besides Hanzo just being tactile, these two will makeout Anywhere. It is a miracle they haven't been walked in on yet

Hanzo is really fond of kissing Kuai Liang's scars (and he has A Lot of them) and has memorized the stories behind each one.

Kuai Liang once slept with Johnny Cage (many years ago) and Hanzo still hasn't gotten over it, so, naturally, Kuai Liang likes to tease him about it every chance he gets.

Hanzo is Besotted, too, like he just has constant heart eyes whenever Kuai Liang is around. Takeda swears that if he has to telepathically overhear Hanzo was poetic about Kuai Liang's ass one more time he's gonna stage a coup.

Kuai Liang goes to visit Harumi's grave a lot, even when Hanzo isn't with him, telling her all about how Hanzo is doing and recounting the stories about her and Satoshi that Hanzo has told him.

Hanzo set up a grave for Kuai Liang's parents and sister amongst the Shirai Ryu graveyard so that Kuai Liang could mourn them away from the Lin Kuei temple, as the old Lin Kuei were the ones that killed them.

Hanzo also has frequent nightmares about the tournament in mk9 but with Kuai Liang being there instead of Bi-Han this time, and won't calm down afterwards until he has his ear pressed to Kuai Liang's heartbeat.

The start of their alliance was really difficult, not bc of lingering animosity, but bc Kuai Liang is so used to being used that he cannot fathom anyone not doing that. Hanzo was really hostile until he picked up on that and that's when they started to become friends bc Hanzo started trying to help the cryomancer break that habit

that's all I can think of rn, but lemme know if you want more and I'll make another list

#lemme know if you want anything specific too #I got hc for pretty much everybody #not just subscorp #kuai liang #hanzo hasashi #subscorp #mortal kombat #mortal kombat x #mortal kombat 11

I need HC of being mated to az and Cass and Rhys plzzzzzzzzz

{Reader X Bat Boys}

Say less my love, say less

Warnings: mentions of smut, nothing too explicit

~~~~~~

I think like most would expect, it was a mild shit show when all the boys discovered you

all three of them courting you and trying to make you chose them was a nightmare

a sweet, sexy, impossible nightmare

how could you ever chose? Why not have all three?

when you brought up the idea, they took a look at one another and basically shrugged

"Saves a lot of effort," Rhys had said

Cassian agreed, "And a fuck ton of bruises. Plus we're all together all the time anyway."

Az merely said all the things that the three of you could do together

especially all the stuff in the bed

tying you down

forcing you to take all of them at once

anyway

constant affection. you are never lonely or cold again

only has there been one incident where you had to sleep by yourself and it felt so weird to not have a tangle of limbs together

and when you ordered a custom bed that had the designers scratching your head? things were cramped in Rhys's already enormous bed

each of them loved to have individual time with you to strengthen their own individual bond, but there was also one collective one that glowed brighter than the sun

every single thought, every single emotion could be felt across the continent because of how strong and secure it was

for the sake of the Court, you are publicly known as Rhysand's mate. the same case if for when you travel to the Hewn City or anywhere else

you are their High Lady, the face and beauty of the Night Court

But behind closed doors you belong wholly to them

Rhys is there to tell you how courageous and badass you are

Cass is there when you need a good laugh and to have some fun

Az is there to comfort you and be your minds eye when you can't think clearly

each of them have a special place in your heart and serve an incredibly important role in your life

you never feel unsafe, and they are only a winnow away

it took MONTHS for the initial bond to settle down

and months before anyone was allowed around you

they don't let you go far when a rare off day is on the calendar for all of them

and who were you to complain when you are being worshiped by the most powerful High Lord and Illyrians in the world?

♡ JOHN DOE + GENERAL HCS. ˚⊹꒷

﹕₊˚ʚ❤️ɞ・[word count] 1044.

﹕₊˚ʚ🐞ɞ・[warnings] yandere character [technically; no yandere behavior demonstrated], made pretty quickly.

﹕₊˚ʚ🖤ɞ・[adi moment] ohh the skrunkly!! maybe even a scrimbo!! reader is You, btw!! hope you enjoy!! ٩(ˊᗜˋ )و

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・I think that he would have partial control over the time loops, mostly creating another when he’s rejected or gets a bit too carried away with You. At the same time, I don’t believe he would be able to control the ones that occur after he manages to successfully court [read: any ending where you don’t leave him or when he loses interest in you], which threatens to drive him crazier than he already is. Especially when he can’t be exactly certain of which route you’ll go through during the next day. 

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Since he didn’t appear to have any of his scars during House Hunted, it’s basically implied that he got those scars between John Doe + and House Hunted. The creator stated that they were a kink/reminder, and I like to believe that each scar is [possibly] meant to symbolize the amount of days that he stalked You for. It might also be a representation of the amount of time loops he’s been through with You, and a way to keep himself from forgetting the situation he’s in. 

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Aside from his love [read: obsession] with You, I think that he also harbors a deep love for human culture, and human life in general. He’s spent countless hours watching human shows and movies, and listening to human music. It’s partially the reason that he enjoys watching TV so much, and he would be honored if You ever decided to watch something with him. He could honestly go on for hours about how much he loves humanity, and prepare to be bombarded with questions if you ever offer to lend him an ear. Just… make sure that you clarify that it’s a figure of expression, and that he isn’t actually supposed to take your ear.

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Loves, loves, loves cuddling. Doesn’t care if he’s the big or small spoon, or if you’re doing something when he decides to curl up around you. There have been times where you’ve been working the cashier at the gas station, only for John Doe to sneak behind You and just get comfortable. It can be a bit shocking, but you’ve long gotten used to feeling the extra weight on your back. Though, it does get a bit embarrassing when a customer comes in and stares at the man behind You while you’re ringing them up. If anything, he just seems to enjoy you being flustered, so good luck getting him off.

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・When the both of you are cuddling, you should also expect to feel his hair curl around you and try to pull you closer. It’s interesting to see the strands have a life of their own, and you’ve long gotten comfortable with them wrapping around you. It feels like one huge hug, and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Similarly to cuddles, expect to be bombarded with kisses at any given moment. When it comes to this, he won’t actually do it in public if You aren’t comfortable, which is something that you’re pretty grateful for. It’s totally fair game when the both of you are at home, though.

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Has a tendency of getting really melty whenever he’s flustered, which happens a lot. It’s just so adorable whenever You go and kiss him and offer to cuddle, or whenever You decide to hold his hand when the two of you go on dates. He really feels loved whenever it happens, and he’s ecstatic to know that you’re comfortable enough to do those things with him - especially if you’re more shy when it comes to affection.

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・In the winter, he usually becomes your personal heater, with how warm he is all the time. While it used to be a trait he was self-conscious of in the past, he doesn’t mind his higher body temperature if it means that you snuggle up to him in order to keep warm. It’s not something he’d tell You directly, but it tends to be pretty obvious with the big smile and bright blush that appear on his face, as well as the various heart patterns on his clothes.

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Lets You draw the designs on his t-shirts, sometimes even allowing you to suggest new ones. He’s already really happy for all of the time that you spend with him, and he’s even happier to let you have a hand with his major forms of self-expression. He would also show the designs that you helped with way more than others, even proudly bragging to people about receiving your assistance. Nobody at the gas station really seems to care that much, but he’s still happy about it.

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・While he’s a huge slob, he’d be willing to try and change his habits if You really wanted him to. Cleaning his home is a daunting task, though, especially when it feels like every piece of garbage is multiplying. Even if you’re both unable to make much of a dent in the heaps of trash, he’d still be grateful that You attempted to help. If you’re still willing to give things another shot, he’d gladly go along with it. 

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Even though he can’t take a shower to get his body clean, he would get it dry-cleaned if You wanted him to. Granted, you’d definitely be getting some weird looks for bringing Doe’s lifeless faux body to the average dry cleaner, but they’d probably still take the business. It is Uncanny Valley, after all. The biggest downside [in his eyes] is that he would be stuck in his hairball form until his body was cleaned, but he was quick to find ways to make the best of it. Did you know that your work bag is the perfect size for him?

╰₊˚ʚ🔪ɞ・Loves, loves, loves to be carried around in his little hairball form. Would honestly just sneak into your bag and hitch a ride wherever you’re going. You’d only actually discover he’s in there when you reach in to grab something, only to feel a slick strand of hair grab your finger and curl around it. You honestly can’t be mad, though, because he looks adorable. While there’s no customers around, You would pull him out of your bag and hold him in your hands. Needless to say, he’d be much more open to dry cleaning his faux body in the future.

[hualianff]

Thinking of merlian + human sailor HC where HC learns all about merpeople customs on courting. One of the most common beginning customs is to lounge out on the rocks and show off the colors of one’s tail.

XL himself hasn’t done it, but they’ve seen plenty of other merpeople doing it! And HC always catches the curious gaze XL sends over.

So…HC secretly makes the decision to lounge on the rocks himself! In as little clothing as possible, showing off his long legs and many tattoos :)

Thus, when XL is swimming nearby with his friends, MQ suddenly jerks back while deadpanning, “what the actual fuck!?”

FX fares no better, exclaimingly, “MY EYES- OH MY GOD!!”

It takes a few seconds for XL to see exactly what his friends see, but once he does-

XL chokes on water.

“Wha- is- is that…SAN LANG!?”

Instantly, XL blushes pink ALL THE WAY DOWN TO HIS TUMMY. XL can barely function, and almost shys away from swimming over to his lover.

But MQ and FX yank him back and push him towards HC because, “the sooner you approach him, the sooner you guys can LEAVE.”

HC watches this whole exchange with an enamored glint in his eye. He doesn’t give a fuck whoever might be around to watch, his attention is only on his beloved - whose fins are even blushing!

HC pats the area of the rock next to him.

“Does His Highness want to join me?

“S-San Lang, your clothes…” XL stammers. HC merely raises a brow.

“Oh, you’re right, let me just-“

HC pulls out two shells that have been attached into a bralette and puts them over his pecs.

“Those are for your eyes only.”

XL shakes his head, an overwhelming sense of fondness filling his heart.

“You are too much,” XL says as he hoists himself out of the water and plops himself half onto the human, situating himself snugly in HC’s arms. The shells bralette feels smooth against his skin. “I love it.”

***

Merpeople customs include underwater dances ! (Think synchronized swimming, but it’s two merpeople dancing underwater with each other.)

Cue HC performing some of the easier ones to the best of his abilities.

XL is the biggest supporter! He also dances with HC, of course. XL is actually known to be one of the most elegant dancers so. :)

Incidentally, XL makes the mistake of kissing HC underwater after their routine is finished, causing HC to lose all the leftover air he was holding.

HC: 🥴🥴 [points to the surface]

XL, in realization: “AHH I’M SORRY SAN LANG!!”🤕

XL quickly drags HC up to the surface, where they simply hold each other while gently bobbing up and down in the calm ocean waters.

adaman and irida trying to come onto one another except they're oblivious idiots who have no clue what the other one is trying to do

I feel like this is totally plausible, no matter how stupid you hc them, since they come from different clans that probably have differing customs and traditions haha

Like Adaman brings Irida a shiny, pretty rock and where he comes from, in the mirelands, that's considered kind of a big deal. Because the mirelands are a LOT of mud and water and swamps aren't always pleasant smelling. Even the rocky outcroppings are usually slick with rain and not at ALL safe to be climbing around on. So if you were going to the effort of digging up gems as a gift, it's a sign that you're really into this person and think they're worth the hard work.

But a lot of this is lost on Irida because she comes from the icelands, where there's tons of rocks covered in shiny, pretty ice year round and easily accessible. It's not that she doesn't appreciate it! She loves the present and considers it a treasure because Adaman gave it to her. She keeps it in her room where she can see it from anywhere in her hut. But she just doesn't have the knowledge to fully understand what it means to receive this gift.

And similarly! Irida brings Adaman flowers from the icelands. Where she comes from, this is also considered a big whoop, because Hisui is a very wet region. And in the warmer southern areas, this can mean a lot of plant life, but in the icelands where the temperature is so low, it means there's a lot of snow on the ground year round. Flowers are a rarity there. Not only that, but survival is pretty harsh in the icelands. The main pearl clan settlement there probably has a very strong cultural importance around everyone who is physically able working together to gather food, simply because if they didn't, people would quickly starve. So if you're bringing someone something like decorative flowers, which aren't edible or useful for anything, it means you care about someone outside of the clan ties of trying to help each other survive. You care about someone in a deeper way, enough to bring them pretty things simply because they're pretty and you want them to be happy.

But again! A lot of this is lost on Adaman, because in the mirelands, plants and flowers grow like crazy. There's greenery and plant life as far the eye can see. You can't go two damn feet without tripping on a vine or root of some sort. And still! It's not that Adaman is dismissive! He keeps those flowers for as long as possible, until they start to wilt, and then since drying them isn't really an option in Hisui's climate, he literally hunts down tree sap to try to preserve them permanently. Adaman loves them. But he can't fully comprehend the meaning that Irida put into this gift, simply because he doesn't share that same tradition.

Anyway they're both stupid, the gift giving goes right over their heads, and it's not until they both separately approach Palina and Iscan (who would of course have knowledge of both clans' courting rituals) that they realize oh. Oh! The other one likes them back!!

And then they can finally understand what those tokens of affection truly meant. ♡
