Hi this mun here.

🔫

Y'all are gonna listen to me go off about Dadvais or else you get the water gun because I have an exam tommorow but brain is going brrr Dadvais and this fandom does not give me enough dadvais content.

Like everything else I have to do it my goddam self 🔫

Why am I weirdly aggressive about this?

*aggressive shrugging*

Anyway Dadvais.

(Warning. Intense rambling. Very intense rambling. I have thoughts and this is Dadvais propoganda. Also like. Brief implication of abuse near the end.)

(Also its like 1am aaa)

Anyway Gamers.

Right we commonly accepted that Servais is cat dad.

Which is good. Good content.

I am also just saying, Servais is the kinda of person who adopts 50 kids and denies they're his kids. He's tsundere dad.

But he's also really fucking soft. He really likes kids. They adore his magic tricks and the man loves magic, absolutely try me the best way to instantly bond with Servais is talk magic.

This is not to say he is a competent dad. He's more of 'I'm trying oh god I left Tracy at the market' dad.

Y'all have seen his diary this man has one braincell for magic only. Also professor of literature. Servais. Servais my beloved. Why did you think this was a good idea. Servais.

He adopts like. *does the math* most of the survivors.

And his favourite is Emma. Probably.

Look the whole reason Dadvais exists is because of me developing 'Forever in the manor' (forever in the concept phase would be better name. Do plan to do the first 'canon' fic after Winters last snow-) and plot stuff happens.

In which Emma has two hands so she can have two hands. If you have a problem with this. I will fight you in the tesco's parking lot/j

I am just saying early manor days when it's just the free characters and Servais the two bond.

And maybe they garden together.

And bake a cake.

Yes I am referencing my fic 'A cake's respite' that fic is early days dad Servais. Servais stayed in that Kitchen when he wanted to drink because he wants to make Emma happy.

Also what intensified dadvais was a discord rp where I, the official magician of the server, had no braincells and just instinctively made him go dad mode.

Also minor tangent i know the fandom characterises Servais most of the time as grumpy old man, which like. He is to an extent but can I please have more chaotic Servais. Like. Y'all have seen his tome accessory right. He's a little bit of a goofball and I would love to see more of it.

Sometimes y'all kinda make him a little too mean. Which I know stems from most people disliking him but even ones who do like him just... yeah.

Then again I'm no Servais expert. I'm trying to get his personality as accurate as possible so if I'm wrong feel free to correct me. I've messed up on character before and its my policy of keeping characters as Canon accurate as possible even if I don't like them because other people do.

Speaking of Canon, time to go the opposite direction and talk about the dadvais au. Yes I have a goddam dadvais au the self indulgency never fucking stops.

It is also a work in progress because god has cursed me for my hubris but I will spit in his face and steal his wallet.

To summarise the Dadvais au.

William and Orpheus are street kids who investigate Servais for the death of his mentor John but end up adopted by him instead, beginning the start of Servais's child army.

This au gives me much serotonin aside from the Dadvais serotonin because canonically in this au Servais has no violence rights but Robbie, a toddler in this au, does.

I feel like this is an appropriate moment to inform everyone that unfortunately your mun is a chaotic goblin. I am so sorry.

Anyway, I am going to focus on one section of the dadvais au because I need to not make this a ten page essay.

So we're going to focus upon the point Servais decides to adopt Murro. Also canon ages do not apply in this au because by the time I had discovered Kevin's canon age I had an idea and got too attached so *yeets canon ages out window*.

So Au. Murro is 15-16. Servais is in his 20's. Orpheus and William are around..12. Still working on ages. At this point Naib has been adopted and is around 14. I think. I need to do thing called 'keep track of my characters ages.'

Anyway!

So onto what happens. I feel it is very important to establish the fact that Naib steals Murro from the Circus (its explained why in au) with a little help from Mike (~10) and Joker (16-17).

Unfortunately Sergi tries to stop them and Naib and him fight. Which Naib totally would have won but he didn't. Rip. So he gets caught by Sergi who takes him to Bernard.

Murro heads to Servais' place on Naib's advice and sneaks in with Orpheus' and William's help. The two try to hide him and his boar but fail miserably.

Servais quickly discovers him, recognises him from the circus and questions why he's here, and where is Naib.

And ever quickly discovers what Naib had done.

Which very much terrifies our Magician dad because well, Naib is in some very hot water that Servais is doing his best to keep him safe despite it. So him being trapped at Hullabaloo is.... extra bad.

In a panic he almost tries to force Murro to come with him back to the circus, before he realised he can't.

He can't let Murro go back.

On one level its on the basic moral level. Bernard is a dick and no child deserves to be in a cage and treated like that.

On another. Its because of John. His mentor.

Servais has a guilty conscience.

His actions put blood on his hands.

He can't do it again.

Naib returns, having managed to escape with the secret help of Natalie. He may or may not threaten Servais to keep Murro, which is unnecessary, as Servais has already decided.

He tells the kids to stay home or else. Then leaves.

Going straight to talk to Bernard.

Bernard is pissed, and Servais apologises for Naib's actions, then makes an offer.

He will buy Murro from Bernard.

Murro was just an act to Bernard after all. And he puts down a very generous sum. Reminding Bernard Murro's act was losing popularity. Better to cash in now then lose cash on a dying act.

Bernard is hesitant.

Servais raises his price.

Bernard wants that price. But that price for Murro only. The boar has to be paid separately.

Servais clenches his jaw.

Fine.

He leaves the tent at the dead of night. He exchanges a glance with a Mike hiding amongst the equipment.

He leaves and heads home.

Where the kids are anxiously waiting. Murro unsure of whats going to happen to him. Naib prepared to fight Servais to keep Murro. William prepared to play back up with Orpheus trying to reason with them and find a different solution.

When Servais comes home the kids are waiting for him. They wait for him to speak. Or try to. Before Servais can say anything everyone except Murro immediately start yelling/pleading for Servais to keep Murro.

Which Servais tells them to stop. Reassuring them Murro won't have to leave.

He's sorted everything out. Murro doesn't have to go back.

He rubs his temples and sighs. Telling Naib, Orpheus and William to set up the guest bed for Murro.

They'll sort this all out in the morning.

Servais waits from them to leave before leaning against the wall. He covers his eyes with his hand.

He needs a drink.
