what types of students are the twst characters
in which i turn nrc into a public school
i cannot confirm nor deny my involvement in any of these scenarios
Warnings: swearing, cr*wley, mentions of drugs and alcohol, caters nicknames, and school
Riddle
i truly wish not even my worst enemy the pain of setting next to this boy
imagine getting back a test with 90% and feeling proud of it then the dude beside you gets a 98%
and this will happen for every assignment, test, group project
in fact, sitting next to him guarantees being paired up for projects together. the inferiority complex is building. this is truly the azul arc
you will get no sympathy from him. the project thats due in 5 days that you still havent started? what an irresponsible student. you reap what you sow.
truly makes you want to stab him with a mechanical pencil. maybe even get some lead stuck in there and make him think he’s poisoned
he has everything you could possibly need, including more miscellaneous supplies like staplers, hole punchers, highlighters, even compasses.
if you ask nicely he'll lend them to you but you best give them back by the end of the class lest you induce his wrath
people are more scared of him than they are of the teachers. most people dont believe the heartslabyul students when they say that riddle is nice to them
oh but he is. he tutors them and is thorough with it. he knocks on everyones door during lights out to say goodnight to them. no one forgets anything for school trips bc riddle quadruple checks.
has some busted ass phone. imagine some crunchy notifications sounds from it. it blares in the room in the middle of the lecture and its so funny every time
since then riddle keeps his phone out of the classroom or outright silences it. if you have an emergency, have it outside of class hours please and thank you
brings a million layers to school bc hes always getting cold and then hot two hours later can someone pls help him
oh but don’t underestimate him, even if hes sick on his death bed he will show up to class anyway. you know those kids that definitely got fever but their parents still send them to school? yeah, like jade needs to physically drag him into the infirmary before he gives up and reluctantly goes home to rest
lets hope its not exam season he will be hacking n’ coughing and sniffling miserably someone get this man a cough drop i think he just ran out
Trey
not up to date on the latest gossip but knows some of the weirdest, nichest shit around campus. literally this was stuff you didn’t even think you had to be warned about
warns you of the drug zones around the school and helps you stay clear of the places students usually hook up
warns you about that bathroom that got flooded because some kid took a shit in the urinal and clogged the pipes😍😍 dont go in there the evidence is still on the ceiling
also be mindful of the graduation plaques in the the student-dubbed “blowjob hall”. you do not want to know what the previous graduates did to them.
he will not bake weed brownies for you. stop asking.
in fact, you're not supposed to know he makes edibles
and no they are not for sale at his bakery. dont even try to enter.
gets the shit scared out of him every morning because lilia’s preferred greetings are unexpected and gravity-defying
all of treys classmates knows he’s in the classroom by the loud “GOODNESS, ME” every time lilia says good morning to him
rip to the science club. you got trey trying to magically grow plants and rook claiming he’s making a potion that has smoke machine effects
because a bunch of magical students with access to funky chemicals cannot result in anything good, the chances of the plant becoming carnivorous and that smoke machine causing hallucinogenic side effects is quite high
their club initiation can’t be anything other than making things grow and explode
“experiments” usually mean they’ve accidentally made chloroform. or any kind of corrosive substance. trey needs to dispose of it before it gets into some freshman’s backpack
Cater
he doodles on his notes, yes, but they are ✨on theme✨
his notes on the snow queens curse contain doodles of skulls and stick figures buried in the snow...
"adopts" freshman. says shit like "this is my freshie"
knows the latest gossip of the school but doesn’t really know a lot of people
lots of people know him though!! or of him
has nicknames for every professor and they are so horrid. no one deserves to hear the name “vargy daddy” (ironically, we hope) exit someones mouth. not even the rsa students.
sometimes uses the lesson board as his daily streaks, sometimes the profs catch him making winky faces for his photos
and because he refuses to sit anywhere but beside idia (or his tablet), he ends up in these selfies simply by association
cater got a failed test back and claimed prof trein was homophobic
this is even funnier for anyone that hcs cater being treins nephew
his posts keep going viral because he’s always there to film the rumoured nrc antics. he can kickstart an nrc-insider news career out of this
you get a notification that he’s live on magicam but no it’s lilia using caters platform to “sing everyone a lullaby”
on the bright side, it worked, they’re all knocked out. on the down side, it’s not as relaxing as lilia thinks it is
sometimes posts their band antics and hey that would’ve pulled a lot of people in but they are very put off by lilias singing
on the plus side though they are very good at synchronized dancing
clogs the hallways on occasion while filming on twisttok. move or you will be seen by his thousands of followers
might be my bias talking but idc, cater was at least a third of the student body’s gay awakening. hes got a personality that makes it hard not to like him, like what is there not to love?
say hi to him once and he will say hi to you until graduation. he will also introduce you to whoever he’s talking to at that moment
at the end of the semester you know at least half the people in this school
Ace
i dont care that this is a magic school, all freshman are sentient zoo animals that have escaped their enclosures
participated in the devious licks trend and got away with some of the wilder shit like stall doors and the graduates plaque from years ago?? (it was his brothers class)
he was the shit back in middle school and hes going to be an obnoxious freshman and claim you need his permission to sit at “his table”
canonically hes always involved in SOMETHING so all of the hot gossip around nrc is usually about ace
his constant beheadings has become an nrc inside joke and is used as a reaction image now
prime examples being "neiges lawyers after they see my y/n edits" or “me after vil’s team finds my account” from user vilsballsack
shortest player on the basketball team and grim will not let him live it down
ace frequents ramshackle the most and his mischievous nature combined with the ghosts’ means lots of rude awakenings
not even the standard bucket on the door pranks, ace goes above and beyond with them. they range from whoopee cushions to the most elaborate traps, with dominos and strings triggering everything
just wait until you hear about april fools day, bro. karmas a bitch :/
at least he buys you a weekly coffee </3 he complains but will be pissed if deuce buys you one instead
fighting for his life trying not to laugh during sex ed
he plays with those cpr dummies like how you imagine children play with dolls
smashes them against each other, establishes the darkest kind of hierarchy, and his favourite thing to do is twist the heads off the bodies
he gets it from the queen housewarden rosehearts🤩
he and deuce whisper so loudly that they disrupt the class so they’ve resorted to very obvious note passing
every crinkle of paper stomps on the profs nerves but it’s better than hearing whisper-debates over whether glitter gel pens are manly or not
bluetooth connects to the announcement speakers to play WAP. sigh. 
for any band kids out there, he is a trumpet player. i think that says enough
Deuce
vaped in the washrooms for a month thinking he was cool before he reformed himself
thought it was so funny to lie about his name at the coffee shop but keeps giggling and being weird about it. the baristas know “divus” is definitely not his name
plus, the campus shops are more likely than not run by students or staff. literally everyone knows who divus is and he’s never had blue hair and pronouns
is in the centre of every single fight that happens in this school. he has not missed a single match to scrap with the other freshies
even his seniors are shivering in fear
thought it was funny to draw dicks on every desk he sat in
influenced some dorm members to draw dicks on their faces claiming it was Heartslabyul-issued makeup
needless to say he didn’t get away with it for long
cannot leave his phone unattended with ace. the last time he did, ace switched up his charger settings so the phone was robotically moaning when deuce put it in the charging port
calls his momma every lunch time to make sure she ate
somehow got adopted by the cafeteria ghosts and he occasionally gets free cookies or coffees
rode a skateboard to school and hid it in his locker. got caught two months in because sebek was yelling at him for bringing a skateboard to school
finds a way to tear up at any kind of movie or documentary displayed in class. hes just so moved. 
but bro if he gets clowned on one more time by grim, he’s really gonna burst out the waterworks
once got so sick of grim he started barking at him. epel refuses to delete the video
asks you to wake him up if he dozes off during magic history. you get wracked with guilt every time you steal him away from dreamland
Leona
didn’t go to class for like 4 months and then shows up after everyone in the class declared him dead
directly sassing his teachers and unfortunately he is very funny
only one he can’t get away with is crewel because crewel will hit him and turn him into a designer rug
doesn’t bring notes, doesn’t even bring a pencil. he’s repeated these lessons twice, he already knows everything
because he already learnt it before he can get away with sleeping and answering their questions just fine
his profs are mad. its not misconduct if the student is in fact, aware of the material
they did him so dirty putting rook in the same class as him. this is actually great for the profs when he decides to come to class because he refuses to sleep in rooks presence
threatens to claw out rooks face if he dares to sit next to him so rook sat behind him :)
learns broken french against his will. learns whos nicknames correspond with who against his will.
if ever partnered up with rook, leona finds out that rook wasnt taking notes at all. all that typing was done on magic of our own and the pen scribbling was a doodle of leona
lord knows what stopped him from turning rook into dust
(it’s because epel will be sad if rook is gone)
doesnt believe in calculators he's a mental math god but only when he wants to be
beware if anything remotely sexist that catches his ears. he will call you out. in front of everyone. who said women sucked at games? they’re lucky his sister in law isn’t playing. her favourite game happens to be predator vs prey :))
violates academic honesty but sucks at it. he copies and pastes, puts it in a paraphrasing bot, then translates it in 10 languages, and puts it on the page. no formatting or anything. 
if the profs uses those plagiarism checkers, leona is getting caught 100%
do not ask him if he can talk to lucius, you will become a missing persons case
Ruggie
knows everyone on school grounds
you might think it’s cater, or azul, but no, it’s ruggie and i can’t explain it
has most likely club-hopped until he settled for magift. he knows quite a few buddies here and there, so if ur ever looking for someone, ruggies the one to ask. if not directly, he can give you leads on your search
shows up to record the fights that deuce gets into but will not join them. hes here for the drama, not to get into them
violates academic integrity. he gets so fucking creative with it. hes the one making homemade water bottle labels or creating a whole new code (disguised as battle scars on his arm) so it looks like hes not cheating
listen he will find a way to cheat if he doesnt know. its all in or nothing
work smarter not harder <3
he’s basically on the clock 24/7 with leona and his other odd jobs. sometimes he doesn’t have enough time to study, but he sure has time to create a new language as a fail-safe. it’s called being resourceful >:(
kid who uses calculator to check simple things like 2 + 3 but can find the circumference of a box using only a formula and the fortitude of his mind????
bro is literally so resourceful, can take the most simplest things and turn them into masterpieces. he is exactly like those people that can create edits, theories, and fics out of a character that was seen for 5 minutes
magishift disk got lost? he’s already found a frisbee. or you can use this notebook. it’s rectangle but if it works, it works, right?
1 inch of snow? no problem he’ll make a sturdy fort for you to hide under during snowball fights
profs thought he dyed his hair blonde in rebellion but no hes just born like that. his hair just got darker as he grew leave him alone pls :( it’s all natural :((
pen flicker and he knows it. absolutely defying the laws of physics with the aerodynamics of his pen. it ends up being more entertaining than the actual lesson
sneaks snacks into classrooms but he’s quiet enough about it that no one really cares
so dont try to snitch on him for a corn chip you aint gettin one
no he does not sell drugs on the down low who told you that?
don’t remove his sunglasses he needs them. is he what? oh, hi.
Jack
had a kiddy crush on the queens for a year
they’re so hardworking, and knowledgeable, and talented, like he really looks up to them
turns out he didn’t want to date them he just wanted to be them fr
would be a very good influence on his friend group if they weren’t even worse when combined together
at least he’s a good influence on epel. or at least that’s what vil tells him
not really causing trouble but since he hangs out with the first years, he's in trouble by association
this is the fifth time grim has gotten stuck in the vents playing real life among us and jack is running out of excuses
gives epel a look of disapproval every time he catches his name in kahoot
accidentally learned many countryisms and swear words he didn’t even know existed
any time epel fails a test or had a fight with vil, jack adds to his forbidden vocabulary
invites epel to his 6AM runs with vil and he occasionally joins, but ultimately epel enjoys sleeping in, says that he must sleep enough hours to trigger his growth spurt
got to demonstrate his knowledge in first aid when deuce took a nasty fall during club activities. was the most excited to plaster the patterned bandaid on him but don’t say anything about it >:( bros got an image to protect
gained a new appreciation for musicals from ortho’s influence. he likes six the musical the most obviously
minds his business the most. he doesn’t give a shit if you fell on your ass during flight. he’ll help you up, check that you’re alright, and go on about his day, no further comments
so for anyone who is easily embarrassed, jack’s your bestie now
Azul
most pretentious bitch in the class for two reasons
1. always has some extra curricular activity going on and will not stfu about it
2. always has something to add to the lesson or story and will not stfu about it
for anyone thats read jamils lab story, it’s exactly like that. azul will comment on everything, bring out his observations, will constantly pester u & try to pick apart ur brain
not in a scientific way, he just wants to crack into the cool knowledge inside. bros a nerd (affectionate)
by the end of the first week you will want to push his head in the cauldron & not let up until he slowly goes limp
please don’t give him any debate assignment. he’s about to tear out heartslabyul student B over the worth of cryptocurrency
(it’s nothing. it’s worth literally nothing.)
has a stack of business cards for mostro and will hand them out to anyone who shows the slightest interest in azul himself
rip to any one of his classmates that may have harboured a crush on him because azul is nothing if not his own biggest cockblocker
for some reason, he can bend the power of time to his will considering he had the time to control the odds of rolling dice while still attending to all of his after-school activities
every board game meeting is idia being horrified at azul’s extra-ness or azul getting clowned to hell by idia himself
they are so mean to each other but will hiss if you try to pry them apart
bro works two jobs, a student and a restaurant manager. how the hell is he doing all this and still #2 in his grade who knows. the grind never stops and his pronouns happen to be work/hard
don’t be fooled though, behind closed doors he is getting his glasses taken away from him by the twins so he can fucking REST. can’t do ur work without your sight!!
ofc they don’t tell him that though they just embarrass azul by either staring at him “innocently” until azul decides to leave (jade) or threaten to whack him with a frying pan until he falls asleep (floyd)
Jade
in the first year he smashed floyds head into poor idias locker and the huge dent is still there to show for it
the profs permit him to snack in class bc he brings “healthy” choices like carrots and apples. 
eats them so menacingly too. stare at him too long and he stares right back, then takes a giant, violent crunch on his snack.
smiles innocently at them even though he’s well aware of the fear in his fellow students eyes
can not incriminate him. hides all traces of his involvement for issues he enabled. 
unless it’s his weekly brawl with his brother on school grounds. “we’re twins, we fight all the time” is not a valid excuse to chase each other down the halls with metal forks
cracks a joint when floyd punches someone so they can convince the student that floyd broke his nose. serves them right for talking shit
doesn’t join in on the fight. you might think this is a good thing but having jade stand by and encourage your pain as you’re getting your shit rocked hurts even worse than the punches
crewel cannot pair jade with any student besides riddle. he’s an enabler. people listen to him either because they’re scared of him or they don’t know better. what was supposed to be a “good idea” to mix vials E and F turns into accidentally (?) creating mustard gas
when you chat with him you find out hes one of those insane sims players that tortures their sims for fun
he genuinely thinks that how youre supposed to play the game
no he’s not shroom hunting on his mountain hikes. he’s genuinely just living his cottagecore dreams. he cherishes the little mushroom mug he got from riddle. it even has a cute lid :)
he never confirms nor denies these accusations, however
if anything, he will turn it on the other party. what do you mean you think he’s collecting magic mushrooms??? he’s never even seen one :((
was the reason the school had to implement a ban on permanent markers. he kept sniffing them and got sent to the nurses office for it. now whenever some students want to skip class or out of pure curiosity, they sniff until they get sick
Floyd
that fucking maniac when his pen runs out of ink during a test he bites himself and uses the blood as ink and doesnt bat an eye at it
plays the game of switching classes with jade but it doesnt last very long because "jade" is suspiciously doing too well in flight class
treats dodgeball like a carnival game. whips that shit so hard at you, you’re convinced you’re leaking spinal fluid
if he’s feeling real freaky he’ll freeze the snowballs a little before throwing them :D
loudly opening and eating chips in class
when trein scolds him hes handing out gummy bears to his classmates in front of his face
sits in the front row just to nap there. hes got so much audacity and zero fear
lectures last 3 hours. perfect time to watch a movie. hes giving the classmates a free streaming party
sometimes hes just laughing to himself while taking notes. or maybe he’s texting who knows? 
unsafe during potionology have you seen his lab card
comments on the drinkability of every chemical
god forbid you ever do a dissection bc hes gonna be saying the most ravenous shit
"that eyeball kinda be looking juicy" my ass
can he maybe like eat before class for everyones sanity
takes any dare from jade as a challenge, and if he succeeds, then he gets to make jade do smth for him
most of the time he declares himself as the eldest sibling™ and jade just has to accept it
if it was unclear, a lot of their fights consist of who is the godly privileged eldest sibling and who isnt
the rest of the time he makes jade show up to class in some clown shoes and laughs at the squeaky sounds coming from jade’s footsteps
pencil chewer. and eraser stabber. just keep the magic pen away from his mouth
Kalim
drew flowers and hearts and sparkles around his war history notes
its his standard for all his notes
brings in whole ass meals in his class and shares it with his seatmates. it smells amazing
shows up to class with random shit every day. if he’s making his own day, why not make everyone elses day too, u know?
he has this huge stuffed rabbit that he lugged around class one day. it’s named peter. it has its own seat.
once brought a bunch of balloons and blew them up in the middle of the lecture?? he had time to draw faces on them? one is him, one is jamil, etc, etc
silver gets one of those balloons that kalim drew on. look! it’s purple, like your eyes!
brought bubbles to school and had a rave in the courtyard
initiates snowman building parties but most of the time they don’t work out because these rambunctious nrc students will destroy the snowmen after class
(jamil will secretly repair these snowmen so kalim doesn’t find out octavinelle student A kicked a hole through frosty jr’s chest)
shares his scratch and sniff stickers with his classmates. there’s some whacky scents in there and honestly most of them smell foul
kalim knows this and ofc warns people beforehand. although, which ones smell good and which dont? sniff and find out ig
at least his presentations are the most entertaining. they’re extra as hell like he would sooner coordinate an entire skit than present normally
chances are he ends up improving some stuff because he forgets his lines rip. fortunately it is fun to make up a skit with kalim so, 9/10 for his groupmates, minus 1 point bc he sent them all in cardiogenic shock from his grand ideas. how in the world are they going to get, or even train an elephant for science????
if doing some kinda powerpoint, takes advantage of those fun transition effects and funny pictures. they may not be 100% relevant to the topic but he wanted you to see this baby koala anyway
Jamil
24/7 talking to himself in his head so he can have an intellectual conversation for once
when being particularly annoyed, he imagines the students or even the school burning. it oddly soothes his mind
avoids the window seat if the window is open. one too many bug accidents. there’s only so many tables jamil can char before he gets in trouble.
watch him pull out a hazmat suit when it’s time for flight class in june. fucking wasps.
pen flicker. he isnt aware he does this but its pretty cool to watch
see, jamil shares a class with azul. and with azuls annoying ass attitude and even more annoying twins tailing him, he’s resorted to keeping a pair of headphones on him at all times
do people not understand? if he’s sitting alone and has headphones in, it means he doesn’t want to talk!! cough cough take a hint
his only joy derives from watching the smug ass grin on azuls face disappear when he’s on a broom
long since stopped trying to reason with his fellow basketball club. ace can deal with floyd, he’s here to do his part and leave
unless they’re playing a match with another school. then get ur ass up, jamil is Competitive and wants the win for himself 
while his phone is on silent, the screen is always lighting up bc kalim loves to blow up his phone with messages
he can’t mute kalim in case the dude gets himself in a problem, so he’s dealing with links and images of dolphins while his class is learning about the components of pixie dust
rarely responds to these but will send occasional “cool”s or “kalim please focus in class” texts
the secret thing is, he is very fascinated by these links. educates himself with dolphin trivia, or whatever topic kalim has been interested in lately, for their future conversations
but he'd rather get buried alive than say that to his face
Vil
creative as hell he will find script ideas out of every class hes in (just like me fr <3)
smells so good. unbelievably good. its probably his own fragrance. it’s not on sale yet.
half the school has a crush on him but no one is brave enough to approach him like cater is
celebrity status AND dorm leader? thats like VIP status on top of VIP status. understandably, few try to approach him with further intentions than a fan/classmate
not cater though! he says he wants to take a pic with vil for the clout but thats definitely a farce. vil knows it, and cater knows vil knows it.
he got them teacher heels. you know those? you hear him long before you see him and you fix up your behaviour too. the power of those teacher heels.
non-pomefiore students either hate them or are so damn jealous of them. you’re getting coached by the vil schoenheit?? you get to see his face and hear his voice every day????
vil’s seen too many people sneak in and try to pass off as his dorm members. he’s amused but like, you can visit you know? just make sure to inform your dorm leader and go back before curfew. 
highly advises these students to leave everything as they found it. no dorm would tolerate students who cannot pick up after themselves
if somehow, these brave ass students ignore this advice, vil’s making them wash all 200 of pomefiores windows. inside and outside :) yes, this also includes the mosiacs
if you get this man for a presentation project, you’re either extremely lucky or very unlucky
on the bright side, he can lead a lot of the spoken parts but dont expect him to do it all. he expects you to know your parts and speak clearly
on the bright side again, he’s very thorough with research and citing. your profs love him
on the down side you cannot last minute rush this, if you were thinking of it. while he allows some leeway because emergencies and life happens, he will hunt you down so it will be finished at least a day prior. that is a threat.
Rook
knows your entire natal chart
serves u personal asstrology horoscopes. says shit like “your dad is back in your life because mars is in retrograde” and he’s right. why is mars doing the renagade and why is it so powerful???
draws the most detailed, obscure abstract art or the most realistic rendition of a real life object no in-between
was so excited to see leona in his class he has so much to tell him about his day, and what vils doing, and what new discovery science club made that week, and the pretty birds he saw this morning-
confidently writing his neige/vil fanfic in class. or self insert. really doesn’t matter because its actually written so beautifully he could convert you to any kind of ship or belief
in fact he most likely submitted fanfic for an assignment and gaslit the profs into thinking he went above and beyond what was required of him
this is an artistic vision, a romantic metaphor for the tale of the sleeping kingdom. the curse is actually symbolized through her crown!!
in the autumn he picks up a random leaf from the ground and it’s his muse for the day. you look over and theres some kid with a leaf on his desk? don’t mind him
reported on the first week for crawling around on all fours to get the optimal photo angle 
he still crawls around for the photo he’s just sneakier now
a kid who got exposed to creepypasta and has never been the same since
he has the old deviantart account to prove it
unintentionally kickstarts so many rumours because no one knows anything about his life before nrc
there’s ongoing theories that rook is secretly a vampire, or a descendant of royalty, or an undercover spy
the rumours were the worst during his freshman year because his behaviour was jarring to most students. rook had celebrity syndrome then, where people think he’s dating everyone he interacts with
though, self nicknamed “hunter of love”, confusion is bound to happen. does it mean homewrecking? harem collecting? matchmaking?? no one knows and no one is brave enough to find out
the joint cracker in class. leona hates him so much. one more crack and rook is gonna end up on the news
Epel
a little bit emo, bros been going through it all year give him some time
has and continues to paint his nails black but switched to colours in the second year
calls his phases in his life “eras” and whoever he was two months ago is not him anymore!! the past is NOT today!
found a way to shake the vending machine to get the snacks to fall down
the loud ass freshie during lunch. believed he was too cool for the cafeteria and ate in the halls
unfortunately he is once again, Too Loud and gets scolded by the teachers a lot
feral. absolutely feral. he has bit people and they have the bite marks to prove it
misgendering? insulting his friends? just overall being disrespectful? square up bitch.
the first years have a hard time wrangling in epel and deuce. pray for them.
still initiates snowball fights even after they got banned because the ignihyde students built machines to mass produce snowballs
jerked off the dildo they were supposed to practice putting a condom on. vargas is so so so disappointed
has an ungodly amount of deodorant in his bag and all of them are from vil
does he use them? hell no, they smell like old people. he has his own max spray. what do you mean it smells bad? this is what manly macho men smell like you wouldn’t get it
kicked a broken soap dispenser into the toilet. when asked, he’ll tell you that he doesn’t know what came over him
competitive in kahoot because he has an inappropriate username
nothing screams victory like standing on the 1st place podium as "ben dover"
being classmates with him is like, this dude next to you is making a portrait in minecraft pixel art??? what does this have to do with the god of mischief’s reign???
gotta admit it tho, he’s pretty damn talented.. wait what was the prof saying again����?
Idia
theatre kid
but like, stage crew theatre kid
once hes got the drama kid complex in him, everyone whos not in the drama program are instantly peons to him
they just arent as fun, they dont understand the references, and they are overall total normies
attends class through his tablet most of the time so, in that era we had of online school, i think we all know idia was not actually paying attention
100% muted his classes to catch up on the episodes he missed
lectures? sure sure, he’ll record them and take notes later. now shh he’s hiding behind his laptop screen to play rhythm games. wheres the mute button irl???
starts attending class more frequently to bond over rhythm games with cater. if you hear two people in the back speaking some foreign language it’s probably them.
in fact im pretty sure that only these two will be able to understand each other with whatever strange terms and lingo they pull out of thin air
ortho is very very happy about this
one time in the bathroom, when he went to get soap to wash his hands, the fucking dispenser fell from the wall
went thru the 5 stages of grief and panic, and ended up fleeing and stressing if he would be caught and fined for this. officially the worst day of his life fr
if it was that rusty to fall from the wall, you can only assume that these people don’t wash their hands often
have you seen his lab card he’s about to drink chemicals
then again, he’s an energy drink person, so i suppose that unidentified lab chemicals arent the worst thing he’s put in his body
actually legally cannot talk to anyone because he gets overcome with a terrible affliction: he gets a crush on them :(
two days of saying hi to each other and idia is already imagining a fancy proposal
cant take that bitch anywhere
Ortho
barges into idias lectures to deliver him lunch because HE ALWAYS FORGETS IT.
sometimes he just sits and joins the class. can it be considered auditing?? hes certainly not taking notes hes just vibing
do you know who built him?? his big brother knows everything💕💕 so therefore ortho also knows lots of stuff :))
even takes the tests in that class and gets 90s on each one
all of idias classmates have such a hard time trying not to give the ortho pat pats
except cater he gets free reign because he’s always sitting by idia. they bond over music and ortho introduces synthetic tune ideas for their next club practice
unfortunately now ortho also has to remind cater to pls eat lunch. no, you cant live off on instant ramen and coffee-
freshman are escaped lab subjects and ortho is already pretty violent on his own, so ortho being a violent escaped lab subject is Not A Good Mix
don’t worry though he is very tame just don’t insult his friends
why only his friends? oh, you won’t be alive to insult his brother :)
jk, if you insult his brother you will be stuck on the “verifying file integrity” screen on 98% forever
with a gift of “lauren wants to play ;)” popup ads for life
if you really fucked up his beam is already 80% charged and ready for eradication
tinkers a lot with idia, so you will find some pretty snazzy gadgets in his bag that look straight out of a spy movie
laser pens, glitter bombs, and tracking devices!
the more dangerous gadgets are already programmed into his person, so don’t worry, these gadgets are just toys :D
the other first years get their hands on the pen and graffiti drawings of cr*wley as the princess sofia the first are engraved on the side of the school building
cr*wley does not recognize this as the insult it is, he’s “touched that his students think him worthy of princess status”
Malleus
no proof that he is even on school property
sometimes shows up to his classes, sometimes doesn’t, but it’s enough to guarantee a pass into the next grade
you know those kids that just stick by their mothers? yeah he’s either that with lilia or nowhere at all
once had almost tripped down the stairs and instead of facing that shame he decided to hover down
if you see some random dude hovering around don’t mind him he just Does That
has a notebook to jot down ideas for his next self-published book on gargoyles
he has so many ideas and is so passionate. hes just brimming to the lid with lore someone pls talk to him
casually talking to gao gao dragon and making doodles of his friend. takes him out on walks and shows him all the cool statues
was delighted when you got urself a tamagotchi so gaogao dragon can have a friend
grim is less than amused but knows better than to diss malleus
god forbid you ever be put in a group project with him you will not be able to reach him ever. you get his part in about 3 hours before your presentation. 
the rare times he gets to join the dorm leader meetings he spaces out a lot. his head is in the clouds bro 
when he’s back on his walks he loves to reiterate to lilia what he saw or what happened. sometimes questions about things he hears. whether lilia gives him a proper answer or not is up for debate
“I believe I saw a rainbow today. We don’t have those back at home, I wonder why that is.”
“There’s a story that the leprechaun fairy lurks at the end of these rainbows searching for a game of tag. Anyone who catches him gets one wish granted.”
“Hm, I’ll have to venture to the end of the rainbow next time to meet this ‘leprechaun fairy’. He would be a wonderful birthday present for Silver.”
Lilia
addresses the teachers by their first names and gets away with it
not because the teachers are okay with it, but because lilia speaks like hes sm older than them. sometimes even the profs feel obligated to call lilia “sir”
the diasomnia dorm members see lilia with a new variation of “#1 best dad” mugs, hats, and shirts every week. he says they’re gifts but who is giving them???
lilias got two pairs of the exact same shoes in two different colours so he can mix and match
lilia also bought two different shoes to mix and match. and by mix and match i mean hes got crocs on his left foot and converse on his right
not like anyone can rlly pay too much attention to it. his shoes are the least of ppls concerns bc hes ALWAYS UPSIDE DOWN
attends silver’s and malleus’ parent teacher interviews as their dad and refuses to take any objections from the staff
accidentally created life during the culinary crucible and jade wanted to keep the crawling little slug of mystery for his terrariums 
since that day, lilia has Officially been banned from taking the class again
everyone but lilia is aware of this ban
casually doing assignments while under the influence with full confidence
worst part is is that he gets better grades while doing this bc his sober self is even more nonsensical than his drunk or high self
history class is so funny. it’s like they took the history and made it into a childrens play: censored, skirting around words, along with fake propaganda!
casually drops the craziest lore in history. hes "correcting" trein on his lessons and informing him that the queen of Andalasia was not even from their world. her magic portal connects to a world with dimensions and laws more outlandish than that of the Queen of Hearts
lilia does not clarify which world this is nor how he knows. source: just trust him
knows alumni from way back. these alumni in question have no clue who the hell lilia is
NRC reunions consist of lilia greeting people like they’re friends and the alumni pick apart their brains trying to “remember” this alleged classmate of theirs
Silver
has perfected the technique of silent snoring
it doesn’t matter that there are 4 espresso shots in his cup he’s still zonked out by 3rd period
ofc he tried a method of putting in headphones and playing some metal music but the music was so loud thru his pearpods it was disrupting the class </3
deliberately sits next to kalim to see if his energy can rub off on himself and it worked for the first...30 minutes
yeah, kalim has a lot of energy but you know what he also has? a nice voice. snork mimimimi
he puts in extra effort to stay awake before animal linguistics however
doesn’t really need animal linguistics to understand his critter friends, but the more he learns how to communicate with them, the better, right?
when silver forgets his notes, a few moments later, a bird is delivering the sheets to him
they may not always be the right ones, but awww that’s adorable
always keeps nuts, seeds, and fruit in a little tupperware container for his furry friends <3
very passionate about environmental safety and care. if he catches you littering he will remind you why he’s mastered the art of the sword
attracts so many animals he even attracted this cat beastman. he’s purple! they just started talking and really hit it off
silver doesn’t know his name but leaves notes by his window for him. they keep exchanging notes like penpals :D
sometimes the notes even float towards him and boom, the kitty appears!
only person who knows about his penpal is lilia and lilia is acting so cryptic about the cat’s identity???
silver wonders if he can fit in a locker and he definitely let the intrusive thoughts win bc he climbed inside and closed the gate. 
sebek locks the lock for silver to get the “full experience” but it’s been 20 minutes and he doesn’t know how to blast open the locker without hurting silver
honestly tho, it kind of feels like those coffins from orientation. don’t mind him. if he can tune out sebeks voice, the dim lighting and enclosed space feels very comforting in a crib kind of way
Sebek
this goes one or two ways: he shouts the answers instead of putting his hand up or he raises his hand before speaking long after graduating
librarians hate him but he does have marvelous taste in books
he would be fantastic at writing essays because he has so much to say and is very opinionated 
english teachers love him, his classmates dont!
sometimes lilia tells sebek stories about the past and his only source was “ive been there” but the “a” in “a. liddel” did not stand for ass. his profs scolded him for saying it. lilia explain pls
hes way too gullible. keep him away from jade
never start anything with "did you know", you will find sebek drinking powerade and monster to test the rumour that you could grow wings if you combined them
took a dare to be handcuffed to jack for the day. the first years blew it up on magicam, its a trending nrc challenge now. 
but at least jacks good influence is rubbing off on sebek. hes more mindful of jacks sensitive hearing but that won’t stop him from dragging poor jack around the school looking for malleus
his phone is always going off in class. its not that he doesnt know how to silence it, he needs to keep it on in case of emergencies with malleus😡😡😡
the friend that tells you all your crushes are ugly and out of your league. 
he’s had a lifetime of having to see silver’s terrible taste in people
and malleus’ no taste in people, as he should
actually, it’s just his adopted brother that has shit taste in people. up your standards, silver, love at first sight doesn’t exist
personally victimizes scarabia student B for distracting you from your studies
if it’s not jack, sebek is the mom friend
speaking of moms, he bonds with deuce over loving their moms <3. they brag about their moms in the most loving way possible
yells at ace for calling them mamas boys and tells him that he will be struck by lightning on 3:02AM on a thursday
at exactly 3:02AM, he texts ace with something that truly looks like the worst kind of detailed, enhanced vocabulary copypasta imaginable
all ace responded with was a no bitches meme and no sebek hasn’t recovered

Alright so that took a bit longer bcs I wanted Ace to be ready as well, just so I could link his and Deuce's designs in a few aspects, and I'll talk about this in more detail later, for sir Ass Trampoline's future entry.
I know in that picture I said there was way too much free space on reference pics, but I'm just realizing I should have included one of Frankie bcs obviously they were a huge inspiration for Deuce's design as well 😭 both from G1 and G3. I initially chose the Frankenstein monster for him just for the fact that he's good with machines n stuff in canon, but later I realized the og story of Frankenstein had a lot to do with conflict between the creator and the creation, that if I squint it I can see the similarities between that and Deuce's character arc to change + his rocky relationship to his family, idk, can't really oversimplify the book's story but. I thought the themes could be very loosely connected 🧍 (?)
I should also add that the highlights on his hair match his mom's, that's cute. ALSO also his rings designs/placements don't really matter, I think he'd just wear whatever rings he finds without much preference.
For his AU personality and traits, well, he's just Deuce. Straightforward, diligent, at times naive, and clumsy Deuce. Story and background pretty much remains the same too, why not!
Sorry I didn't have much to say here, most of the notes I work on I write while in class or in the car (not the best places for concentration imo), bcs I'm not having much free time to stay still lately 😭 I'm hoping I didn't leave much of my hcs behind though!

SSR Malleus Draconia - Platinum Jacket Vignette
"Happy 100th Anniversary"
Tumblr media
[Land of Dawning – National Museum of Art]
Malleus: So, this is the Land of Dawning National Museum of Art… It's much more impressive than I had imagined. Very fascinating to see their exhibits touch on varied matters of import.
Malleus: Art galleries in Briar Valley generally feature art exhibits revolving around fae lore. This is a refreshing visit.
Malleus: This place does seem to have a few works of art that I can place, however. And I see that paintings that depict the Thorn Fairy seem to still gather a crowd here.
Tumblr media
???: Look at all them surrounding just one person in full force… That's just cowardly.
Malleus: No need to chide them, Spade. It's cruel enough to expect those children of man to hold their own against a great and powerful being.
Deuce: D… DRACONIA-SENPAI!? HELLO, SIR!
Malleus: Hmph, don't bristle so. We can take this prime opportunity to study this painting together.
Malleus: When the Thorn Fairy visited human lands, she was immediately met with animosity…
Malleus: The number of art pieces that depict this very story is numerous, even in Briar Valley. We even had one displayed in the castle I was raised in.
Malleus: When I was a wee lad… My tutors would constantly tell me to grow up to "be a mage as great and powerful as her."
Deuce: Your… tutors!? There were people that could actually teach you something!?
Malleus: Of course.  I had some of the finest mages in Briar Valley at my disposal.
Malleus: I often found my history and etiquette lessons to be of great interest… But there was no one who could instruct me in the ways of magic.
Malleus: Of course, that would be because everything from their magical power levels to their actual capabilities were far below me in strength.
Deuce: Wow, that's amazing… Can't believe you were that strong from a young age.
Malleus: That is nothing too surprising. My grandmother possessed formidable magic, and so did my mother, I hear.
Malleus: However, it took me quite some time to fully understand the difference in strength between myself and those around me.
Malleus: "Why are you teaching me something so ridiculously simple?" I'd angrily wail every class. "Are you underestimating me?"
Malleus: Every time I sent a tutor packing, my guardian wouldn't hesitate to scold me mercilessly.
Deuce: You're saying there was someone who could even scold you!? Briar Valley is way too intense…
Malleus: Even I would listen to the advice of a trusted person. When I think back on it, I certainly had my more immature moments.
Malleus: Only incidents such as burning the gardens to a desolate crisp, or destroying castle towers by calling down lightning strikes, however.
Deuce: THOSE ARE HUGE INCIDENTS!!
Deuce: Ack! If I make Draconia-senpai angry now, the museum might be in trouble…!?
Malleus: No worries, I am no longer a child. I would not do such a thing as destroy a museum filled with priceless artifacts on a mere whim.
Malleus: It would be more logical for me to punish the offending target than affect my surroundings in my ire, would it not?
Tumblr media
[Land of Dawning – National Museum of Art]
Tumblr media
Deuce: That's a painting of the Lord of the Underworld being displayed there. And those two guys with him, they're…
Malleus: They must be his retainers. It is said that they would obediently carry out his commands and go to great lengths to do so for him.
Deuce: Yeah… I always imagined the Underworld to be dark and scary, but these two look pretty nice.
Malleus: It will come back to bite you if you make assumptions based on appearances, Spade. Apparently, these two were skilled shapeshifters.
Malleus: There are tales of how they would use this skill in order to back any villainous adversaries into a corner.
Malleus: If they did not possess that raw competence, I'm certain that they would not have been depicted in these works of art.
Deuce: I bet the Lord of the Underworld would be proud to hear that tales of his subordinates are still passed down for generations.
Malleus: To have the tales of his subordinates passed down for generations… Yes, I could sympathize with that.
Malleus: Within the royal family of Briar Valley, there is a tradition that at a certain age we may select our own attendants and guards.
Malleus: I would also be very proud indeed if someone I personally selected were to be acknowledged by the masses, as well as future generations to come.
Deuce: Right? But man, when you talk about attendants and guards… It just feels like we live in two completely different worlds.
Deuce: It's pretty amazing that you always have someone who's looking out for you and your daily needs, though.
Malleus: It also can be a headache. Back in the castle, I would be surrounded by other people day in and day out, simply there to fix my attire or my hair and the like.
Malleus: When my acceptance to Night Raven College was ascertained, my life was unburdened tremendously.
Malleus: My guardian stated to me, "You'll have to learn how to take care of yourself enough that you can survive on your own," and so…
Malleus: I would read books from the outside world that were provided to me, and found the wealth of knowledge fascinating.
Malleus: Those books granted me an abundance of knowledge, such as how to go shopping, or how to work laundry machines and other electrical appliances.
Deuce: He learned how to use electrical appliances from reading a book…!? He really was raised in a completely different environment.
Deuce: But honestly, I really can't believe that you go shopping on your own, or do your own laundry… Today is full of surprises.
Malleus: …Well, Sebek does insist on tending to my needs. And there is much I do leave to him.
Deuce: Ahaha… Yeah, Sebek has boasted about stuff in the past, saying something like, "I had the honor of hand-washing Malleus-sama's clothing!"
Malleus: …I can absolutely picture that, despite the fact that I had been perfectly fine doing my own laundry before he started to attend this academy.
Malleus: Although, for some time after I arrived here, there was no end to the number of difficulties I had due to my inexperience.
Malleus: For example, there was this one instance when I knew not the location of the laundry room… and chose to hand-wash my garments in the kitchen sink instead.
Deuce: EH!?
Malleus: …My fellow dormmates who encountered that spectacle in the kitchen had the same reaction as you just now.
Malleus: I inquired as to where the laundry room was, but all froze as if petrification had been cast upon them…
Malleus: When it seemed they finally had returned to their senses, they insisted on allowing them to do my laundry.
Malleus: In that moment, I had been swept up in their persistence, but… It does me no good to leave it for others to do.
Malleus: Sometimes I do clean my clothes with magic as I oft did back home, but I do try to use the laundry machine when I can as well.
Malleus: There aren't many who use the laundry room in the early morning or late night.
Malleus: After some trial and error, I was able to figure out how to properly use the washer, as well as the dryer.
Deuce: Even though you could totally clean everything with magic in the blink of an eye… It's so cool to see how you're always working to improve even when no one's watching!
Malleus: Of course, as it should be. Seeing that I am a student at this school, I must also learn what I can from my peers.
Tumblr media

Malleus: Oho, I see this museum also carries a variable assortment of paintings depicting merfolk legends as well.
Deuce: She has a real big smile… But hey, look at that wave behind her! Was the ocean waters that choppy…?
Malleus: This depicts the moment the mermaid princess made the determination to go to the surface.
Malleus: That large wave behind her represents her courageous decision… Or at least, it most likely represents that.
Deuce: Woah, that sounds like it could be…! Draconia-senpai, do you know a lot about paintings?
Malleus: I briefly touched upon it as part of my education.
Malleus: I would not say I do not hold an appreciation for art. Rather than paintings, however, I do prefer three-dimensional objects… sculptures, especially.
Deuce: When you say sculptures, you mean the ones made out of stone or bronze… right? I'm sorry, I really don't know anything about those stuff.
Malleus: You are more or less on the correct path.
Malleus: Take the statues of the Great Seven at our academy, for instance. Sometimes they are regarded as simply part of the backdrop on campus…
Malleus: But as years pass, both stone and bronze statues will gradually change in appearance.
Malleus: Caretakers will come and go, and the outdoor elements will constantly batter them… Their similarities to the original mold would change over time to no small extent.
Malleus: Some may perceive this as mere "deterioration," but…
Malleus: As for me, I believe that changes in those statues are in fact a profound thing.
Malleus: Whenever I encounter one that looks entirely different than what it originally should have looked, I cannot help but feel as though it has lived a good, long life.
Deuce: So basically, they're living pieces of art…?
Malleus: Heh. A wonderful interpretation, Spade.
Deuce: I don't really get how that was good, but that was him praising me just now, right? Uh, thank you!
Malleus: If you find yourself interested in sculptures, you should seek me out once more.
Malleus: I can explain to you at length not only about stone sculptures and bronze sculptures, but also gargoyles as well.
Deuce: Gargoyles…?
Malleus: Ah, so you aren't familiar with them. No matter. I'll start with explaining what they are…
Deuce: Uhhhh… Wait, uh, I was actually thinking about asking Rosehearts-ryōchō about the paintings with the Card Soldiers!
Deuce: Please, I hope you can wait for another opportunity to explain it all to me! I'll be leaving now, Draconia-senpai!
Malleus: He shouldn't run in the museum like so… I fear it is only a matter of time before the sound of Rosehearts' ireful shouts fill the halls.
Malleus: Really now, humans sure are always in a hurry. I think I'll take my time taking in the exhibits in the museum.
Tumblr media
Malleus: Oh, what do we have here…? This is a painting of the princess who was blessed by the diurnal faes.
Malleus: What a lively birthday celebration. I wonder if I would have been invited to attend, had I lived in those times…
Malleus: …Hmph, they would do well to carefully think about who to invite to their celebrations. For if I were not invited to such a gala…
Malleus: I may have brought down upon them a cloud of destruction, darkening the sky and cursing them to the ends of the earth…

In which an alchemy mishap gives (Y/n) the ability to confer a blessing of good luck onto anyone, simply by kissing them.
Now, (Y/n) has a line of students lining up to be smooched.
Idea by anon.
Tumblr media
"(Y/n)! Kiss me!"
"No— kiss me! I need it for an upcoming alchemy test!"
"Please— I need the luck to get the first wagyu sandwich at the cafeteria today!"
Although the Ramshackle mansion was under a complete lockdown, with the windows barred and the front doors closed off with a large bookshelf, the entire building shook due to the masses outside. Voices of hundreds mixed into one large mess, and only a few reached your ringing ears. Stuck with Grim, Ace, and Deuce in your dorm building, this hadn't been how you had expected to spend your afternoon.
The offset for this disaster had been an incident in alchemy class just earlier that day.
As you had been busy chopping up some leaves, you only noticed too late when your lab partner threw something strange into the potion mix. You narrowed your eyes at him and grumbled, "Grim, why did you add my lip balm to the kettle?!" You desperately tried to fish the little container out again, but it had already sunken to the bottom, its viscous content mixed into the rest of the liquid.
"Uh— it looked a little bit dry?" Grim explained innocently. "And I thought it could use a little bit of hydration."
From the table next to you, Ace couldn't help but snicker as he mumbled, "Your logic is flawed, Grim."
That seemed to have flipped a switch inside of the cat monster, and you had to hold him back in order to prevent him from attacking the red-head. "Tsk, no— don't you dare underestimate me!" the cat wailed and thrashed around to free himself from your grasp. "Me, the great Grim! Most powerful magician of all time—"
In his fit of anger, he had managed to knock over the small kettle on your desk. His paw had hooked onto the rim, making the kettle topple over, and the content to splatter all over you. The pinkish liquid mostly landed on your face, and only a few splashes appeared to be on your white lab coat.
A frustrated whine escaped your lips as you practically flung Grim at Ace. "Hey! You clumsy cat—" you yelled out in anger, only for that anger to morph into frustration. Taking off your safety goggles to wipe the pink liquid off proved to be a difficult task. "Uh... it's so slimy..." And it only became worse when you tried to remove the smudges on your face, especially your lips.
"Don't worry, nothing happened," Deuce assured while putting the kettle back into its original place. "But... your lips are kinda pink? Oh— and very well hydrated, thanks to the lip balm Grim added!"
Ace's smile turned into a mischievous smirk. "You should sell the recipe to Azul and market it as a magical lip balm. You'd get rich."
Grim seemed to approve of this idea, especially once money was mentioned. But, before he could voice his utter approval, you grabbed him once again tightly. "Come here, Grim! Revenge be upon you!" you exclaimed as a battle-cry before you squeezed him as tightly as you could, playfully burying your face in the patch of fur between his ears.
"Stop!" Grim laughed out loudly. "That tickles!"
Your little cuddling session was put to an end when a shadow looming over you blocked the light of the chandelier from above. The two of you froze in your places upon noticing that it was none other than Crewel who stood in front of your desk. "Grim and (L/n), your concoction looks marvellous," the professor said, sounding surprised as he looked at the remains of the pink substance in the kettle. "It's been a while since I gave an A to first-years, but you two deserve it."
"What— an A?" Ace cried out in disbelief. "For his glorified lip balm?"
Crewel, unbothered to react to his outburst, stepped over to the Heartslabyul duo and eyed their kettle suspiciously. "Spade and Trappola, your potion looks... chunky. You get a D." Without another word, and not allowing any protest, the professor disappeared to the next table.
Ace looked like he was about to explode. "What?! That's so unfair!"
Deuce, on the other hand, simply sank into himself in resignation. "Seems like you're lucky today, Grim..."
"Share your secret with us!" Ace exclaimed hastily. "Do you carry a rabbit's paw with you? Did you get up with the right foot?"
Grim shrugged. "Today was nothing special, aside from the little accident a few seconds ago." Having wrought his way out of your arms, he jumped into his own chair again and brushed his messy fur. "And then (Y/n) grabbed me and tickled the hell out of me—"
"Wait, Grim—" Deuce interrupted, "you have a lipstick stain on your forehead."
And indeed, there was a perfect, pink imprint, reminiscent of a pair of lips, on the patch of fur between his ears. A frustrated cry escaped his lips when the cat tried to wipe the stain off with his paw, but to no avail. The imprint couldn't even be smudged.
"Oops, must have been me," you cooed innocently.
"Yes, (Y/n)'s kiss gives people good luck!"
For a moment, Ace's eyes wandered between the two of you, more specifically Grim's lip imprint and your own pink lips. As if a lightning had struck him, the red-head jumped to his feet and gasped. "And your luck just started to kick in," he exclaimed and turned ro his partner. "Do you think what I'm thinking, Deuce?"
The sceptical glance you shot your two best friends, who really did seem to share one brain cell, didn't deter them from their theory. "I think it's just a coincidence," you remarked and waved them off.
"Ew, I can't get the lipstick off my fur!" Grim cried out, by now violently scrubbing his forehead.
"Alright, (Y/n)," Ace exclaimed excitedly. "Pucker your lips for us."
"No way I'm gonna kiss you guys!"
"It's for science," Deuce said and gave you the best puppy eyes he could muster.
A shiver ran down your back in playful disgust, especially when you grumbled in a low tone, "...alright, but make it quick." You feigned to gag. "I'll have to wash my mouth with soap afterwards."
"On the lips, please~" Ace said.
"Me too!"
You glared at them while scooting closer to your two friends. "You're idiots," you mumbled while pressing a quick kiss to Deuce's lips first in rather shy fashion, clumsy too. The tips of your noses touched briefly, and your cheeks were a bright red. When you pulled away, his lips were stained a soft pink as well.
Ignoring the way Deuce's looked like he was about to explode, you turned your attention to Ace and collected all your willpower to press a kiss onto his lips. Once it was done and over with, Ace chuckled out in amusement, "Hey, we gotta take our chances." Then, with his lips a faint pink, he leaned back into his chair, relaxed.
Before anyone could speak up again, Crewel had appeared by their table. "Spade and Trappola, it seems like I gave your previous test the wrong grade," the professor explained while handing them out their corrected papers. "You both get ten points added to your last test."
"Really?!" Deuce yelled out in disbelief, looking like he was about to cry out of happiness.
Ace threw his hands into the air. "It's working!"
As you were busy wiping your lips rather violently, you muttered quietly, "You're welcome... Just don't go around telling everyone about this."
"Of course!"
"Promised."
Yes, that's what they had said — assured you, promised you — and look in what a mess you were now: almost everyone on campus knew about your new ability to confer luck to a person with a simple kiss. The rumour had spread like wildfire, and now a massive amount of students had surrounded the Ramshackle mansion, demanding entry and to see you.
The furniture used to bar the front door wouldn't hold up much longer against the pounding from outside, and Ace, Deuce, Grim, and you were basically sitting ducks until your timely demise when you would be swarmed by your fellow students. And eventually, the bookshelf gave out and was pushed aside to allow a flood of students to enter.
This was it. This was how you would die.
However, it came to you as a surprise when Grim stepped forward, in front of the three of you, and put his paws out to stop the mass of students in the hallway. "For a generous 50 Madol, you can get a good luck kiss from (Y/n)!" he exclaimed, which caused the screaming and yelling to quiet down. His control over the crowd was astounding; instead of trampling all over you, they obeyed his command and got into line.
"Guys, why—" you stuttered out hesitantly.
"If you can't fight them," Grim explained, "just profit off of them."
Ace began laughing. "That's what Azul would say."
Upon noticing the unwillingness in your eyes, albeit mostly fear upon realising the sheer quantity of students in your home, Deuce put a hand on your shoulder and shot you a smile. "Come on, we'll make sure everything stays orderly," he shouted over the background noise.
The three's expectant gazes lingering on you, you were left no other option than to exhale and comply in resignation. "Fine, but get me some lip balm first—" you grumbled under your breath, "before my lips fall off from smooching a bunch of guys..."
"You heard my henchhuman!" Grim exclaimed in excitement. "Let's get to kissing!"
In no time, your three friends had managed to transform the ocean of students into one neat line... mostly. Although it was still loud and stuffy, you at least didn't feel overwhelmed anymore. The loud voices bickering and chatting still protruded the air, accompanied by the sound of Madol coins clinging loudly as they were handed over to your friends.
You took a deep breath and readied yourself to start kissing away.
The first in line was a group of Heartslabyul students. Much to your surprise, the three most prominent members, that being Riddle, Trey, and Cater, were in that group, as well. You eyed them curiously, and a smile grew on your lips once it was their turn to be kissed.
"Riddle, I didn't expect to see you here," you teased playfully.
Although his cheeks did turn a soft red, he quickly crossed his arms and let out a frustrated huff. "Don't worry, I'm not here to get a kiss myself. I don't really believe that luck can outweigh hard work in the long run—" His monologue was interrupted by a series of coughs from behind him in the queue. "Rather, I am here to make sure Cater and the rest of my dorm members don't do anything stupid." With that, he stepped aside without a kiss.
"They wouldn't dare to do anything like that," Trey remarked while stepping beside Riddle without having been kissed, as well. "And besides, a little dose of luck can be the little sprinkle of salt needed to perfect a cake that required a lot of work, to bring out the true flavour and sweetness."
"Yeah! You should try it out," Cater cheered and opened up the camera app on his phone. "Of course after I got kissed."
You couldn't help but roll your eyes in amusement. "Where do you want the kiss, Cater?"
"Well, my right cheek is fine! I wanna take a pic to post on Magicam," he explained and wrapped his arm around you sideways. With the lense of his phone trained onto the two of you, you pressed your lips to his cheek for a little while longer, until the familiar lightning of the camera struck. "Hehe, thank you~ What a memorable day!" A satisfied smile on his face, he walked away while diddling on his phone.
"You, too, Trey?"
An amused chuckle escaped the vice dormleader's leader's lips. "Actually, I'm just here to make sure Riddle doesn't collar anyone... I don't need luck for anything particular today," Trey explained, rubbing his neck sheepishly as he gazed at Riddle next to him.
"You two are just adorable," you cooed and broke out into a grin. Before either of them could react, you had already pressed a kiss to their cheeks each.
Trey was caught off-guard. "But— we didn't pay!"
"Shush, just go along," you said and waved him off.
Riddle, on the other hand, looked like he was about to explode with how red his face had gotten. His hands were clenched into fists as he seethed out, "Violating my personal space would normally grant you a collar..." However, he seemed to calm down soon enough, the sudden outburst leaving him flustered and embarrassed. "But you're lucky I'm lenient today..."
At last, Riddle shyly walked away, and Trey followed him worriedly.
Next in line was a group of Savanaclaw students, and at the very front of the queue, none other than their dormleader.
"Leona, hey— what would you need luck for?"
"I need to pass this semester, and that requires all the luck I can get— at least Ruggie always says so," he explained rather casually. "He urged the two of us to come here..."
"Right!" Ruggie chimed from behind his dormleader. "I myself need a little bit of luck to strike a few good paying jobs."
You hummed and leaned forward to press a kiss to the lion beastman's cheek, only for him to grab your shoulder roughly just as your lips were about to meet his skin. "What do you think you're doing, herbivore?" Leona hissed under his breath, glaring at you.
"Uh— kissing you on the cheek?" you asked in utter confusion.
"I want a kiss on the lips."
You narrowed your eyes at him. "No—"
Before you could free yourself from his grip and yell at him for his cheekiness, Grim appeared beside you and waved his short arms around. "That makes double, Leona!" your fellow dorm-member exclaimed happily.
"I'm willing to pay," Leona retorted.
Your jaw clenched and your hands tightened into fists, you hissed out, "You're a cheeky one."
He simply shot you a grin and raised his eyebrow mockingly. It took you all of your willpower to squeeze your eyes shut and press a quick kiss to his lips instead of slapping him for his audacity. "Wasn't so hard, was it?" he asked while you pulled away with a warm face, whether from being flustered or angry, you didn't know.
As he walked away in satisfaction, you were allowed to take a deep breath. "Ruggie, how about you?"
"Just the cheek will be fine!" he chimed, and you pressed your lips against where he had pointed to. A grateful grin appeared on his face as he ran after Leona. "Thank you, (Y/n)! I got a few job interviews to attend now. Catch ya later, shishishi..."
Next up, Jack and Epel.
You shot the wolf beastman a curious look. "Hey, Jack. Why are you here?"
"Just here to stop Epel from punching anyone," Jack grumbled while holding back a feral Epel by his collar. "He has the tendency to start fights when his dormleader isn't around to supervise him."
"You sure you don't want anything?"
"No."
A chuckle escaped your lips, and you tilted your head to the side, deep in thought for a moment. When you had made up your mind, you speedily leaned forward and pressed a kiss onto Jack's cheek. Before he could even register what had happened, you had pulled back again. "Here you go, it's on the house! Just because you're so sweet," you said, laughing. The gesture left Jack speechless.
"I... uh—"
"Now, where's Epel?" you asked while letting your gaze drift around, in search for the small boy that had vanished from Jack's side.
"Hey! I'm down here!" A look to your right revealed Epel, squished between two other Savanaclaw students. His lips were contorted into a large scowl as he marched up to you and puffed his chest out. "Way to make fun of my height..."
"Oh, sorry. It's just really crowded here." You shot him an amused smile. "What do you need the luck for?"
"I want lots of folk to buy my family's produce! Things have kinda slowed down again after Vil's advertisement."
"That's nice of you."
Epel nodded happily, an innocent smile growing on his lips. "Ma and Da will be so happy..." he muttered under his breath, his smile widening after you had pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek. Without another word, he took off and disappeared into the crowd again, Jack following after him in concern.
Your eyes followed after them until they became one with the masses again.
"What a sprawling business you have up and running, prefect."
A turn to your left revealed a trio of three suit-clad students being the next ones in the queue. You narrowed your eyes suspiciously, quietly muttering, "Oh, the fish mafia."
Jade gasped, offended. "What an unsavory nickname for us gentlemen."
Your remark merely drew a chuckle out of Azul's lips. Although, his charming smile soon turned a little bit more serious again as he explained, "We're just here to get lucky, no shady business." At that, your shoulders drooped forward in relief, much to his amusement. "I just need the luck to get our newest menu to be popular."
"I'm just here in the hope of getting lucky on my next trip to the mountains," Jade said fondly. "There are these special mushrooms I wish to stumble upon."
"And I just wanna be lucky in general!" Floyd chimed and threw his arms into the air.
Your eyes wandered between the three of them for a while, suspicious of their true nature and intentions. However, when you couldn't find any trace of dishonesty or deception, you muttered, "Alright, that doesn't sound too bad..." You ignored the way their eyes flashed strangely and rubbed your eyes in exhaustion. "Is cheek fine for you three?"
"Yes," Jade and Azul replied.
Floyd, on the other hand, exclaimed, "Lips, please!" His answer earned him strange looks from his two fellow dorm-members, and even you couldn't suppress the surprised expression on your face. An annoyed grumble escaped Floyd's lips as he waved all three of you off. "Hey, I've got nothing better to spend my money on, anyway." Unabashedly, he stepped forward and puckered his lips.
A nervous chuckle escaped your lips before you mustered all your courage to lean forward and press your lips against his. Floyd let out a disappointed sigh when you pulled away, and he would have demanded another one if it weren't for Jade's hand latching onto his shoulder and pulling him back. Jade was easy to please with a kiss to his cheek, and he retreated with a satisfied smile. Lastly, Azul, who was rather queasy when your lips made contact with his skin. When you pulled away, his cheeks were dusted a light pink, and he stammered on his words. So much that Jade spoke on his behalf.
"Come by to try our newest menu some time, prefect," the vice dormleader announced calmly. Without another word, the three Octavinelle students disappeared from your sight.
"Oh- Oh! We're next, Jamil!"
"I can see that, Kalim..."
Your attention was drawn to your next customers: two Scarabia students.
"Hey, (Y/n)!" Kalim exclaimed once he stood in front of you, unable to stand still any longer. "I need the luck to uh... get a lot of candy! I want my coins back at Scarabia to be turned into these yummy chocolate ones, by some strange case of luck!" The smile on his lips was large and innocent — adorable, even.
"Really, that's it?" You raised an eyebrow, and he nodded eagerly. So, you grabbed the sides of his head gently to hold him still, eliciting a little giggle from him. The kiss to his cheeks made his giggles grow louder, and when you had completely pulled away, a goofy grin had appeared on his face.
You removed your hands from Kalim's face and turned to his companion, who until now had stood beside him quietly. The questioning look you shot the Scarabia vice dormleader caught him off-guard.
"I... uh, I actually haven't been able to think of anything for myself," Jamil said awkwardly, taken back by surprise when he saw Kalim hand Grim the money for the two of them, despite Jamil's protests. "I've been too busy trying not to lose Kalim in this mess." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
"Oh, I'm sure you'll find something later on." Withour wasting another minute, you leaned forward and pressed a sweet kiss to his right cheek. The gesture left him dazed, almost hypnotised, and he immediately raised his hand to touch the patch of skin that your lips had touched.
Before Jamil could mutter as much of a 'thank you', Kalim had already grabbed his hand and pulled him away, saying that he wanted to look for his sweets now.
A smile grew on your lips at his words, but you were snapped out of it when a sneaky pair of hands suddenly grabbed a hold of your right hand and cradled it softly. Looking to your left revealed a blonde with large purple hat; it was none other than Rook. And Vil stood beside him impatiently.
A large smile decorated Rook's face as he got onto his knees, all the while still holding onto your hand. "Mon ange, I am here to have you confer your blessing upon this humble hunter, in the hope that he may score a lucky hunting session!" he cooed and gave your hand a gentle squeeze. "Of course, that hunter is none other than moi!"
"Rook, hello," you said and helped him to his feet again, amused by his antics. "Cheek is fine?"
"More than fine," he cooed, eagerly holding out the left side of his face for you. When your lips made contact with his pale skin, you swore you heard a swoon escape his lips. "Merci, mon ange!" The hunter shot you a charming smile before retreating to his dormleader's side.
You straightened your back to shoot the other blond a smile. "Good evening, Vil. What would you need luck for?"
"Working in the acting and modelling industry always requires a little bit of luck for auditions and what not," Vil explained smoothly. "So why not? I have nothing to lose."
"Alright. A kiss on the cheek?"
Vil shook his head and raised his arm instead. "On the back of my hand, please. It's not good for my reputation to run around with a lipstick stain on my cheek."
Although his request made you raise an eyebrow, you simply shrugged and took a hold of his hand. In one swift motion, you raised his hand and pressed a gentle kiss onto his knuckles. "Here you go, Mr. Schoenheit," you said while letting go of his wrist again.
Vil nodded in satisfaction and sauntered away elegantly, Rook following him loyally.
"Idia, this way!" the next person in line shouted.
"I-I don't want to, Ortho! I've changed my mind!"
A surprised look flashed over your face when you realised that it was Idia — in person, might I add — approaching you, or rather, being forcibly pushed towards you. He clamoured loudly, but Ortho wouldn't cease to stop his rocket boots until the two of them stood right in front of you.
Ortho shot you a friendly smile. "Hello, (Y/n)... please, would you be so kind and bless my big brother with luck?" he asked, his smile growing sheepish when Idia tried to wind his way out of his grip like a frenzied animal. "He may not look like it now, but earlier, he was a madman raving ecstatically upon hearing of you."
You hummed and turned to Idia. "Sure, where do you want the kiss?"
"C-Cheek, please..."
In contrast to his previous behaviour, Idia froze when you brought your face closer to his. He clamped his eyes shut and ceased to breathe — right until he felt your soft lips on his cheek. The tips of his hair flared up into a soft pink, the shade of the lipstick stain on his cheek. And only when you pulled away to make sure he hadn't fainted did he allow himself to smile in a silly and relieved way, as if he had braved a difficult fight.
"See?" Ortho chimed, also relieved. "That wasn't so hard..."
A chuckle escaped your lips at that, and you even leaned forward to pat his shoulder. "And you also get one for free, just because you're adorable, Ortho!" you announced before closing in and pressing a kiss to his forehead.
The robot-boy gasped in surprise, although his eyes soon fluttered close in appreciation. "Me? Oh, thank you! You're so generous!" A giggle escaped his lips as he pushed Idia forward and exclaimed, "Big Brother, say thank you as well..."
"T-Thank you..." Idia stuttered out, looking like he was ready to bolt out of this crowded place any time soon.
On their way out, the two Shroud brothers bumped into an entourage of Diasomnia students.
Sebek seemed to lead the group through the masses, rudely pushing students to the side and forcing his way through. "Finally! I managed to cut a way through the mass of people! This way, Master Malleus..." he exclaimed and gestured for his dormleader to step forward. "Everyone, make way— make way!"
"Oh, Sebek. This isn't making you popular..." Lilia muttered in amusement.
Silver, who had until then managed to fall asleep while standing next to his vice dormleader, jolted awake and let out a confused gasp. "Huh— Where are we going, Father?" he asked while struggling to catch up with the rest of the group.
Lilia floated up to ruffle the second-year's hair. "Just getting a good night kiss, Silver."
Once they arrived in front of you, you shot the group of a sheepish smile. "Oh, hello you three— and even Malleus..." Your eyes grew wide upon spotting the tall fae looming over you.
A giddy smile decorating his face, the dragon fae explained, "I could not resist the idea of being blessed with luck." Sighing wistfully, he began scratching his chin with his gloves fingers. "After all, I can certainly need it to receive invitations to some festivities I look forward to attending."
"Understandable, and you three?"
"I will use the luck to protect Master Malleus even better!"
Through his chuckles, Lilia managed to explain, "Silver wants to be lucky enough to not fall asleep as often anymore." Then he paused upon realising that the second-year in question had fallen asleep again. "And as for me? I think I'd like to have this luck make my culinary creations turn out even better than now!"
"Sebek, that's so you. Silver, that's totally understandable. And Lilia, you'll need the luck."
The first to be kissed was Malleus, who simply closed his eyes innocently, even having to bend down a little bit for you to reach his cheek, and then patiently waited for your kiss. A satisfied chuckle escaped his lips as he stepped back to eye you intently.
Next up were Lilia and Silver; as for Lilia, you simply pressed a kiss to his cheek, and as cheeky as he was, he returned the gesture smoothly, much to your surprise. You broke out into laughter and waved him off. As for Silver, who had fallen asleep, you simply pressed a kiss to his forehead. He stirred a little bit, but didn't wake up otherwise.
And last was Sebek. He straightened his back and raised his head like soldier in front of his king, ready to receive an order. His antics caused you to roll your eyes, but you nonetheless leaned forward and kissed his cheek. Although he might have been exploding inwardly, he tried his best to not let it show too much. So, when he walked back to Malleus' side, he was as stiff as a board.
Smiling, Lilia exclaimed, "We thank you for your generosity, (Y/n)!" Without further ado, the group of four turned around and walked away in closed formation.
A look of relief flashed across your face when you realised that the queue had come to an end for now, that the Diasomnia squad had been the last ones to be kissed. You sighed leisurely when Grim, Ace, and Deuce approached you. Your lips were sore, and you touched them to notice that your fingertips hadn't turned pink. "This is the end. My lipstick has worn off, anyway..." you muttered, confirmed by a look into a nearby mirror.
Ace got onto a chair to announce, "Everyone, we're sold out forever! Don't come back tomorrow or the day after that." A wave of disappointed sighs echoed through the living room of Ramshackle as the remaining students poured out.
"And as for us, we made tons of Madol!" Deuce cheered.
"(Y/n) and everyone sitting on a tree!" Grim began singing. "K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"
You mustered your most angry glare to direct at the cat monster. "Don't you dare continue that rhyme..." you hissed and wagged your finger at him.
However, Grim simply continued jumping around and singing, "First comes money. Then comes luck. Then comes my tuna!"

⤷ ✧ Why does love?
Gender neutral

Tumblr media
Ace Trappola
Out of all people— you have a crush on Riddle?! He silently judges you for this. At first he thought you were just playing around trying to get a reaction out of him.
He was in denial for a bit before noticing how every time you “came to hang out” with him and Deuce, you gravitated towards Riddle. You always hugged him when you saw him and after a while complete ditched your best friends for their housewarden!
Now Ace will never stop mentioning your crush on Riddle. You’ll casually be reading Romeo and Juliet for class and he’s like “You and Riddle?” Just to make fun of you.
He is definitely not supportive. You saw how he was at the beginning of the school year— just a little bratty tyrant. And yes he did indeed change, but even now how could you be attracted to him.
“Riddle is really sweet though. Say, will you help set me up with—“
“Hell no.”
Honestly he would understand if it was Trey or even Cater but Riddle is bottom of the barrel in his eyes.
What’s even more frustrating is that Riddle definitely likes you back. He is way more tolerant of you misdeeds than anyone else. Riddle is always asking about you to him and Deuce. Like, where you are and if you’re struggling on any subject. Such a caring boyfriend…
Tumblr media
Deuce Spade
Ehehe, what? It was unthinkable for you to have a crush on Riddle Rosehearts. He wasn’t sure if you were joking until you had to prove you were serious.
“Riddle, do you wanna go on a date?”
“D-date? I’ll see if I have time…” He bashfully said.
“AHHHHH THEY WERE SERIOUS?!”
Deuce is supportive unlike Acey-Wacey. He supportive by default but he really wants you to think hard when you say you have a crush on Riddle. The heart wants what it wants, he understands that. He promises to be at your wedding when the time comes.
Make him the flower boy!!
Tumblr media
Jack Howl
Oh wow. That’s all he really could say. You two were just walking to the library together to return some books having a small conversation until you said “Leona is so hot I want him so bad.” Like wow maybe a warning next time. He really doesn’t know what to say. He just gives you a look.
He knows Leona isn’t a bad guy and he is very much not against it but what does it have to do with him?
Apparently you like guys who act cold because you really don’t care that Leona seems not to have any interest. You followed him around and he kinda just allows you to.
“No way, he totally likes me back. He literally sent Ruggie away to spend alone time with me.”
“Wait, really?”
It’s kinda hard to imagine that you actually made some progress with him. He usually tells you if Leona is in a bad mood or where he is. And you run across the school just to say hi to him. Maybe true love does exist.
Tumblr media
Epel Felmier
Damn he knew something was up! He didn’t understand why you always wanted to go to Pomefiore, you always used the excuse that you wanted to hang out with him but you didn’t really hang out with him. You hung around Vil.
You denied having a crush on Vil but he noticed you were being love-dovey about things and smiling to yourself. You were making it too obvious but Vil was making it worse.
Always doting on you and walk you to class in the morning or some times you walk him to class even if you get marked tardy. He always has to fix your tie and fix your hair. Epel thinks you do it on purpose so Vil will care for you.
At some point you stopped lying to him when he started asking too many questions about your relations with Vil.
“Okay I’ll be honest. I don’t like Vil.”
“Be fer real—“
“I love Vil!♡︎”
He’s never falling for your lies of “Can I hang out at your dorm?” ever again. He will physically kick you out of Pomefiore the next time he sees you.
He really doesn’t blame you that much. Vil is well known, rich, and pretty so it makes sense but he won’t forgive you.
Tumblr media
Ortho Shroud
The only one that genuinely supports. He’s actually really glad it’s you since you’re his friend so he knows you’re not a bad person. There’s plenty of people who just want the money from the Shroud name but he knows that doesn’t matter to you.
He’s also just afraid that Idia would end up alone. As said before, a majority of people would try to get with him for the money. Trust me he will be your wingman throughout all of this. He’s always talking about how great his big brother is to you.
“Idia is just amazing! He coded a game all by himself.”
“That’s so cool!”
“Also Idia mentioned you today.”
“Oh my goodness, what did he say?”
He’s always setting you two up to see each other and make it seem like a coincidence that you too have been bumping into each other so much.
What’s perfect is that Idia likes you back too! Ortho straight up asked him, do you like MC one time and Idia short circuited.
“L-L-L-L-Like?! Nonononononono Ortho what are you thinking?! Some weirdo like me could never even think about a relationship with someone so cute and kind!”
“Ooo you’re blushing! Your hair is turning pink.”
Blushing, hiding his face, laughing, everything else. Idia tries not to talk about you but he’s always asking Ortho what you were doing today and such.
He has the wedding all planned out. He’s determined to set you two up. He wants one of you to confess first. Even though he knows for sure that it’s a mutual feeling, he wants you two to figure that out on your own.
Tumblr media
Sebek Zigvolt
When you started spouting nonsense about a crush and how lovely he was, he just brushed it off. He wasn’t interested in your romantic life one bit.
He never would’ve guessed it was his young master that you were trying to romance. And unfortunately it was working.
He didn’t understand why Malleus came back smiling to himself or muttering something under his breath. He also started playing around a little more. All very positive changes.
At the same time you were blushy and talked about being exciting for night to come so you can meet him. Whoever that him is, hope he’s ready to deal with your silliness.
When you gave Malleus an invitation to VDC, Malleus was positively glowing. He was blushing and rolling around on his bed holding the invite like a lovesick school girl. Malleus was definitely in love.
Ace, Epel, and Deuce mention it later.
“I thought it was just some random dude. I can’t believe you were flirting with Malleus Draconia…”
He wanted to laugh, what an odd joke. “Are you talking about some sort of a dream?”
The three stare at each other than at you.
“That dude MC was droolin’ over was Malleus Draconia.”
Sebek immediately is engulfed with shock. He’s in denial for a bit until he looks at you and shakes you back and forth.
“You… monster! You charmed the Young Master!! You are a lowly human, you are in no way worthy of a Royal fae like Malleus! Do you hear me?!”
He’s super mad and his week is officially ruined. It tells Lilia and Silver about it and Lilia just giggles while Silver congratulates him on finding love.
Lilia thinks is cute how you fell first but Malleus fell way harder.
Now they know where Malleus runs off to at night. He feels stupid since it was kinda obvious if he just looked into it more. He just hopes that you will treat his young master right and he’s happy (begrudgingly).

hi can i request the first year gang and Ortho asking m!yuu who can sing and play guitar to sing a song from his world (any song you like or want to write) because they are curious about what songs from yuu's world are like.
characters: first years x male yuu
tags: platonic, canon compliant, fluff, fic + imagines format; mentions of vil and malleus
warnings: none
author's notes: you guys sure like your first years huh?? also i forgot grim technically counts so i wrote him in lol,, plus i just wanted to :D
Tumblr media
Another school day, another raucous scene in the cafeteria. You’re used to it at this point obviously. Your friend group is one noisy clique but you wouldn’t have it any other way. That day in particular, you brought your guitar along with you, in case you get bored as the day passes by (which is a likely possibility). It’s currently the topic of your friend’s conversation right now and has been for the past few minutes. You only chew your lunch, pretending to feel indifferent, but you’re amused beyond anything by their debates - and their attempts to get you to play it.
“C’monnnn, don’t be such a spoilsport! You brought it with you, you might as well play it!”
Ace urges, pushy as always. He makes a good point but you still shake your head at him. He pouts at your response.
“For once, I actually agree with him… C’mon, Yuu, pretty please?”
Epel chimes in, weaponizing his looks and the charisma classes Vil’s been pressuring him in. It almost convinces you but you refuse to surrender, just because sparkles twinkled out of someone as they bat their eyelashes cutely. Nuh-uh, no siree.
No, nothing will make you surrender… except if your friends would actually let you finish your damn food. You say this out loud and a silence fills the table for a few moments. They mutter apologies under their breaths as you exhale through your nose, satisfied with their response.
Once you actually finish eating, they almost immediately start to hound you to start playing. And by hounding, it’s mostly them watching you curiously and expectantly. You sigh and finally, pick up your guitar to fulfill your promise. They start to cheer but then with a look from you, they calm back down.
Inhale. Exhale. Your fingers start to waltz on the strings. Your voice reverberates after seconds of instrumental pass.
“We’re no strangers to love… you know the rules, and so do I…”
Ace Trappola
Wow.
He wasn’t really expecting much but you completely blew his mind
He doesn’t say that when you’re done with singing though; he only holds up his fingers, as if to rate it out of ten. You laugh at that
So songs from your world are like that, huh?
They’re not much different from what he can find in Twisted Wonderland but he found himself feeling more affected by the lyrics than he thought
He asks you why you picked such a tender love song to sing to everyone
You chuckle knowingly and tell him that you simply like the song - and there’s nothing else to it.
Deuce Spade
He gives you a standing ovation, big smile and everything
You have to ask him to sit down after it
His comments are simple enough, that he loves your voice and that your playing is really good but it’s enough to paint a light pink on your cheeks
Eyes wide with curiosity, he asks you if a lot of songs from your world are like that
You inform him that no, of course not, when it comes to music, your world’s is just as diverse as Twisted Wonderland’s
Ace teases him for it right after
He then confesses he’ll try to memorize the lyrics of the song so you guys can sing it together - and you raise no objection to it whatsoever.
Jack Howl
Even when you were playing, you could see his ears perking and twitching excitedly; you could only assume his tail was also wagging with much vigor
At the end of your performance, he shoots you an impressed smile and admits that your skills aren’t half-bad
You make a mental note to punt this goddamn tsundere later
You take his comment with grace and his smile grows wider with pride
He then continues by pointing out how cute the lyrics are and you jokingly reply that you forgot he’s somewhat of a romantic at heart. He tries to hide the blush on his cheeks then
Bashfulness aside, he proclaims that one day he wants to sing such lyrics from the bottom of his heart
And so he joins Deuce on in learning the lyrics with you - more for your army, you suppose.
Epel Felmier
He joins in on Deuce with the clapping but at least you don’t have to tell him to sit down
He marvels at your skills and at how manly you are
You sheepishly put your hand behind your head at his comments but you thank him nonetheless
He then adds that the song somewhat reminds him of the country love songs he would hear back in his hometown, though he admits that that may be because of the guitar rather than the song itself
You feel a little silly after hearing the song being compared to a country song but you suppose he has a point
He’d like to see you perform more songs this way - and if you’re willing, he’ll recommend Vil to you so the stories of your talent can be widespread!
You tell him you’ll consider it and hold back your tongue from mentioning the fact that you might go home by then, just so you can savor the possibility of playing the song in front of an audience.
Ortho Shroud
His eyes twinkle with amazement
And if you’re asking, yes, he’s already recorded your performance. Oh, don’t worry, it’s for analysis purposes. Unless…?
Jokes aside, he’ll make sure he tucks that piece of data somewhere safe and confidential - unless you want it to be shared, which he also doesn’t mind doing for you!
You take that into consideration. It’d be iconic but at the cost of your anonymity…
All the while, he questions you what other songs you can share
You almost pick up your guitar again as his eyes seem to plead you to do so
He definitely wants to hear you sing again; maybe pick up a few pointers to sound more human while singing himself too!
Sebek Zigvolt
Is he in tears????
No, you conclude, but it does seem that he’s affected emotionally. You didn’t think you had an inner Malleus in you
He remarks that your skills are above that of the average human (doesn’t matter if you’re actually human or not - you’ll have to bear with him)
You don’t protest and just take the compliment as is
To your relief, he doesn’t go on any Malleus-related tangent after, but maybe you’re the one who’s expecting more “Malleuses” to come out of his mouth
Add him to your gang of wanting to learn the song’s lyrics and you don’t bother guessing his motive
You’re not complaining - four people are enough to shake the world, you think.
Grim
He puffs out his chest with pride as if he’s the one who did the heavy lifting
He goes on to say of course you sound amazing, you’re his hench-human after all!
Then under his breath, you can hear it, his actual praise - your performance is so wonderful, he’s almost jealous
You giggle at it and when he asks, you shrug it off as nothing
You haven’t really showed off your talent to Grim despite living in the same place, you realize
That’s when you vow to him that you’ll give him more personal performances in Ramshackle - together too, if he wants
He agrees to it with a smirk and declares that if anyone’s ears want to be blessed, come on by to Ramshackle; and you have an inkling that he’s not actually talking about himself.
You only now notice how loud you were, considering now the whole cafeteria’s looking at you; some curiously, some irritated. You laugh nervously and apologize as loud as you played, everyone starting to turn back to whatever they were doing before. You even see a few familiar faces but you pay them no further mind. You turn back to your friends as well.
Their expressions seem to beg for more but you shake your head and tell them you’ll save more songs for another day. They seem to be a bit let down but at least it means that you’ll perform more in the future.
Little do they know that’s just one card up your sleeve.

Yaaayyy new twst blog :D welcome to the twst fam lol, may i request sum basic pining hcs for heartslabyul? Thank you 🙏
Awwweeeeeee! Thank you so much for the warm welcoming!! And I apologise for this long-lasting delay! Alas, life isn't always helpful with time management... I'm so glad to have finally kicked off this blog after lurking in the twist tag on Tumblr for like 2 years... And another 1 of having no time ...Yeah. N e ways, I'm so happy somebody requested Heartslabyul! I have some sugary sweetness for Deuce, which I was dying to write! I hope you enjoy the read!
Tumblr media
Riddle Rosehearts
Riddle swears, that he is treating you no different than any other student. That, of course, is a farce, but god forbid anybody tells him so. What do you mean he is more lenient? No he's not.
That is until you accidentally break a rule and he lets it slide with a sigh and a pat on the head? A PAT? ON THE HEAD?! FrOM THE DORM LEADER OF HEARTSLABYUL?!
Aside from his apparent softness, he also goes above and beyond to offer his help whenever needed. Homework troubles? Study dates. Ramshackle problems? He's ALREADY storming into Crowley's office. Caught the cold? Prepare to be treated with just the right medicine and just the right warm herbal tea. Oh no. He insists to help. No, it is of no bother to him.
His pining is the respectful, gentlemanly pining. In his eyes, you are his treasure. His love is also very pure and even a simple brush of the shoulders would make his heart skip a beat.
Tumblr media
Ace Trappola
Everytime you talk about something that you like, he would be looking at you as if you were a shooting star in the night aky. He would have the warmest, most lovestruck gaze you'll ever see. (which of course you don't notice, otherwise it MIGHT just not be pining anymore 👀) He'd totally hide it of course.
His pining consists of him constantly trying to impress you. Why don't you go cheer him on during basketball practice? "Hey, hey y/n! Look at this!" He then proceeds to try a new parkour trick. Did he succeed? Yes. Did he accidentally scrape his knee when landing? Also yes. Did you end up patching him up? Of course. And he was bathing in attention.
His pining is annoying, but loving. The "Hey, I know it's like 2am, but I have about a dozen bags of popcorn. We're pulling an all-nighter." You don't ask how and why, you just roll with it.
His goal is to make you laugh. Everytime you laugh at one of his jokes, he puffs out his chest and mentally, and sometimes physically, pats his shoulder. And he just can't help but smile himself.
"You're super pretty y'know?"
Tumblr media
Deuce Spade
Oh the poor poor baby. He already has a hard time expressing his emotions, imagine having a crush. He'd be constantly bashful around you, speaking in a very soft manner to you, occasionally stuttering, especially when TRYING to give you a compliment.
"Oh...you want us to walk together to class? Yes of course! I mean- sure. Yes. Okay. Great. "
His pining is simultaneously childlike in nature, and very mature. Innocent glances and rosy cheeks, carrying your stuff, or *insisting* to do it, constantly making sure you're okay, you're comfortable, you're good.
Everytime you would study together, he'd casually scoot closer, just a little bit, just to feel the closure. He hasn't had any experience with love, so these feelings are very new for him. His pining comes in the form of inspiration - to be the best possible version of himself, for you and your future. So pat him on the head, kiss his cheek and tell him he's doing a good job. He deserves it, doesn't he?
Tumblr media
Trey Clover
Trey has always been shown as the perfect, slightly more domestic man, who'd treat you with homemade sweets and care for you. And while he would, there is a lot more than meets the eye.
I feel like his pining would consist of clever flirtation, usually followed by a quiet chuckle. You never truly know if this is real flirting, or just him being very charming. (spoiler alert: it's both) And the worst part about it is that he gets you every time.
He'd care for you in ways too tender to be considered out of pure friendship, yet keep you at JUST enough of a distance to leave you questioning, WHILE also throwing flirtatious remarks at you.
His pining is shown through gentle touches and charming smiles, teasing good-natured remarks and a lot of healthy communication. If he sees that you're responding positively to his small yet meaningful advances, he'd get over himself rather quickly and ask you out. He's a down to earth guy with a down to earth heart.
Tumblr media
Cater Diamond
Oof, a mess.
No really. Carter's mind and heart are at a standstill. Because obviously you wouldn't like the real him, right? He should move on and continue doing what he does best, but also..... It sounds so nice, holding hands, being highschool sweethearts, posting couple selfies, having somebody to confide in.....
His pining is hard, and nearly unbearable for him, long and arduous. He often stares at you and if you're extra vigilant, you'll notice how sometimes his gaze doesn't quite reach you. His mind is running laps, and his heart is like a beat drum.
And sometimes, just sometimes, his carefully created façade drops and suddenly, that stare turns so deep, piercing, longing. Only to be laughed off moments later.
His laugh around you may be loud, but his gentle smiles are very real, and reserved just for you.
Thank you for reading! Hopefully you enjoyed ♥️

First Year's Reactions To Reader Choking On Gum
wanted to make something fun for my first post so uh yeah. sorry if they're ooc
headcanons can be platonic or romantic CW: choking
Ace Trapola
doesn't notice at first
thinks the wheezing is you laughing at something he said but when he turns to you he immediately panics
gets behind you to do the Heimlich
when you cough out the gum he accidentally steps on it
now you're both freaking out
"GROSS GET IT OFF ME" "HOLD ON I WAS LITERALLY JUST CHOKING" "DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE??"
Deuce Spade
panics.
hammering the back of your chest as you cough it out
when its finally free he sprints away to the cafeteria
comes back with a water bottle and asks if you're okay
he's likely overreacting and wants to take you to the infirmary for a full body checkup
"no, deuce, i'm not gonna die" "but you were choking on gum D:" "keyword: were"
Jack Howl
i was pretending that he has some form of common sense (he doesn't)
overreacts like deuce and slings you over his shoulder as he sprints to the infirmary
through all the jostling the gum unlodges itself
you pound on his back to get his attention but he mistakes it as urging to go faster
refuses to believe you're fine now and is now super attentive when you chew gum
"y/n don't eat that" "it's fine jack-" "what if you choke again? what if i'm not there to help you?"
Epel Felmier
probably the most chill
has basic medical knowledge
makes sure you're leaning forward and hits between your shoulder blades
he catches the gum in tissue and wraps it up to throw away
if you ask he'll never bring it up again, but secretly pokes fun if it's just the two of you
"careful y/n you might choke" "epel if you bring it up one more time you will be the one choking" "what? can i not have a genuine concern for my friend?"
Sebek Zigvolt
home slice doesn't even notice at first
by the time he does you're already on the ground
if you're in class then thank god someones helping you because now sebek is rambling about how silly you are for choking on gum
if you're alone then have fun writhing on the floor for a good minute
make that many minutes because he ran off to get lillia or silver
"y/n! need i remind you of when you were bested by that pink morsel!" "sebek, don't-" "i can't believe you humans are so entranced with the concept of death! it would be admirable if you weren't so idiotic."

Gifts! Gifts! Gifts! - A Valentines Day Special 🌸🌹🌷
Tumblr media
Note: Gn!Reader, sorry if this was late I had a lot of crazy things happening and I dodged potential homelessness but I'm back and writing again :D
Valentines day, it was one of those days that many people would not want to miss. The school was livelier than usual, many were already at work preparing their confession letters and gifts for their loved ones and friends, and you were no different.
You paced back and forth, making your way into the busy halls and making sure the contents of your bag were safe from everyone. This morning was especially crowded as both you and many others were rushing late to their morning class, not sparing a second until they arrived just on time in fear of punishment. Truthfully, you had been later than usual today, and that was no accident.
The things within your bag were little gifts, chocolates, all of which you planned to give to your friends and colleagues during class. But one thing turned into another and, here you are rushing to trein's class.
With the hustle and bustle of the halls, you had wondered 'how will I get all of these to them?', but little did you know there was someone out there who would look for you to. Perhaps it was someone you were close with, or maybe you would meet them along the way as you hand out your little treats. Still, there was this gut feeling of something special happening today.
You supposed that this would be more beneficial, as you are usually seated to both ace and deuce, the first few people you would give these items to. Running into the class, trein glanced at the entrance. His usual grimace turned slightly more relaxed as he saw you walk in.
"Ah, you are just on time. Please do sit down, we are about to start-"
You moved towards trein and fidgeted around the bag, what he saw come out of it was a small box with a chocolate that resembled a familiar cat...
"Happy valentines day Professor! I made this just last night"
Trein examined the piece, the cat's fur was carefully crafted and its expression showed a droopiness to it that he had known all too well.
"Oh, for me?"
Lucius was eyeing at the piece as well, and as trein brought it closer to his chest he couldn't help but smile at his beloved cat licking the plastic box that encased the little gift.
"I appreciate it dearly, thank you."
Moving into your seat, both Ace and Deuce greeted you with their usual antics. It seems that it was never too early or late for them to start their usual banter.
Deuce greeted you with a smile, a little flustered than usual "Morning, prefect!"
Ace was a little more talkative today, perhaps within his own reason
"Ah, you're quite later than usual~" Ace teased.
"Yeah yeah now hush, I made this for you"
The two eyed the little boxes. Like trein, they had been gifted specially crafted chocolate trinkets, one shaped as an ace of hearts, and one a deuce of spades.
You smirked as they were left bewildered at the small but thoughtful gift. Deuce flushed a bright pink and Ace was practically trying (and failing) to hide his blush
"Happy valentines day you two"
The two looked to the boxes, and back at them, and then at you
"You did this...for us?" Deuce replied, his face flushing a deeper shade of pink at the special blue bow that was on the box. Both Ace's face and ribbon were a soft shade of red.
"Hmph, if I had known you'd make something like this for me I would have made my plans a little grander today~"
You raised your brow up at him "What do you mean by that?"
"Ahaha! Don't worry about it~ You'll see it when you see it"
Whilst class resumed as usual, you could see that Deuce was slightly deeper in thought this time. You hadn't known the inner dialogue that unleashed within him when he saw your gift.
His thoughts of him and you were running feverent in his mind 'Should I tell....ah- but what if I get rejected...But then again...'. He spared one passing glance at you, face still flushed, and looked down at his pen and paper. Maybe it was time for him to take action....
The next class was alchemy. Peering into the lab, you see Trey, Cater, Riddle and Rook all huddled near a cauldron. Waving to them, you pulled out three seperate boxes, each chocolates carved in different things for each person.
"These are for you guys...I spent quite a lot of time making them so...happy valentines day!"
"You're too kind, prefect. i
Riddle was equally as flustered "A-ah...thank you...."
He examined the carefully crafted chocolate rose. Trey got a chocolate clover, sleek and tidy. Rook an intricately crafted bow and arrow, the end in the shape of a heart. Cupid's bow, he thought. Cater had a little diamond as his shape, and by the looks of it he was enjoying every minute of it. He was sure he had taken more than 10 pictures in the span of the few minutes he'd received this as a gift.
Queen of hearts rule 298 states that chocolate should not be consumed during the fifth week of the last month they tasted satly tea, but for just this once maybe....
"BEAUTE!!! This craftsmanship....the beauty within such a fickle yet delicious thing...I could not thank you enough, Mon Cher"
Cater smiled widely, ecstatic at this special gift you made especially for him. "I couldn't agree more~"
It didn't help that he had something else in mind for valentines day too but...Oh well, it seemed that it was too early for him to reveal that now.
Rook took the palm of your hand, and softly planted a kiss. His face showing a softness you hadn't seen before "I shall repay you when the time is right"
"Oh stop it, you don't have to really" You held your hand to your cheek, cupping it as you saw just how much they appreciated your hard work.
"But I must! With such beautiful craftmanship and thought, how can I not repay you ten fold~?"
Trey chuckled "He's right you know, I might bake you something special just for this. You did such a good job it would only be fair that I return the favor"
Riddle nodded, face still flushed "I will certainly remember this...kind gesture. I would love to prepare something special for you...to repay you that is"
The four of you enjoyed alchemy, much to your surprise as it is one of the few grueling classes due to crewel's strict nature. Speaking of crewel...
"Hm, what's this? Don't tell me this is a bribe for a better grade"
"It's a gift for you, happy valentines day Professor Crewel!" You handed him a chocolate, carved in the shape of a dalmation puppy with white chocolate.
"Ahhh~ my puppies are so adorable!"
He seemed to be the happiest you've seen him in awhile, which was...strange but cute. Like an excited little puppy getting head scratches.
"You've been such a good student this whole semester, thank you for this!"
Walking outside the classroom, you saw a familiar sleeping lion laying peacefully under a shaded tree. Ears were twitching, his tail wagging, yeah...he's asleep alright.
Slowly, you sneak closer and closer to him, placing his gift on one of his hands, which laid free on the grass.
"Oi...what is this?"
"Ah- you scared me!"
"You would know better than to sneak up on a lion. Now, what's this?"
"Oh, it's a valentines day gift. For you that is~"
"For me....hm...."
He looked at the little chocolate lion. It was small, yet you managed to capture the fierce and prideful nature of it. It was cute.
"Thanks, herbivore. I'll make sure to reward you with something just as good"
He gave you one last smirk before he rolled back over to return to his nap. But once you had turned your back to go for your break, you could have sworn that Leona was snuggling the box. But of course, he would never let you see that...ever.
In the cafeteria, and dodging all the crowds fighting for the special lunch of the day, you were looking for more of your friends, when all of a sudden....
"Aaah, shrimpy~" You were pulled into a tight hug, and as the air was slowly wringed out, you can see a familiar smile as you looked up.
"It's been so long since I've seen you~! I miss you yaknow!!" Ah, floyd.
"Ah- floyd! You're squeezing me here..."
Floyd let go swiftly, nearly dropping you down to his seat as he pulled away "Oh right~ hehe sorryyy"
Jade smiled at the new company "Oh dear, well if it isn't our little prefect. What brings you to our table?"
The two watched you fumble in your bag once more, pulling out two separate boxes with familiar looking chocolate eels for the two of them.
"Hee~? A little eel?? For me???"
"How adorable, despite the small stature, the carvings are percise, sleek." You can feel the two staring at you, only this time with adoration.
"Oya oya? What's with all the commotion?"
You looked towards your right, seeing that fedora peeking through a familiar face.
"Ah- Azul! I have something for you"
"For me? Oh, you shouldn't have..."
Azul looked at the chocolate octo with an expression you hadn't seen in his face. You can only describe it as a softness he never allowed anyone to see. His suave businessman facade slowly melted as the realization of this gift had settled in his mind fully. You of all people had made something for him, and especially on valentines day.
"I can't thank you enough for this, angelfish. How about I repay the favor. Anything you want, just say the word and it's yours~"
You chuckled "You don't have to Azul, I have all that I want right here~"
"Oh, right! Have you seen Idia anywhere? I can't seem to uhh...find him"
"Hm, chances are he's in his room. He brought his tablet for today's seminar, so he'd most likely still be cooped up in there."
"Thanks again, angelfish. I'll be sure to give you a monstro lounge discount the next time you drop by~"
Before you left, you saw two more familiar faces wave to you.
"Ah! Hey!! It's been awhile!" Kalim exclaimed. Seems that his shine and spark never dies down even in mundane situations like this. Jamil is right next to him, waving back in a manner more reserved. But still, you can tell the two are happy to see you again.
"I got something for you, here!"
You handed the two of them their boxes, Kalim's having a tiny otter, and Jamil a snake. The scales were carefully carved with intricacies that only Jamil would see and appreciate. Kalim was more than overjoyed at the little otter that's now in his hands.
"This is so cute!! Aaah now I wanna gift you back something...."
"How about it? A party? A parade? A magic carpet ride???"
Jamil held the box close, as if it was the most precious thing he had "...something just for me...."
He smiled, looking to you with a soft grin and letting down his calm and aloof demeanor for even a small moment "Thank you..."
Once you said your goodbyes as the bell rang, you went to your next lesson; Flying.
On the court, you can see Jack, Vil, Ruggie and Epel all stretching after a round of magift. Vargas was near them stretching as well.
Ruggie was the first to notice you first "Well well, if it isn't our dear prefect hehe~"
"Ah- Hello!" Epel waved, he seemed happy to see you.
"I come bearing gifts~ Happy valentines day you guys!!"
Both Epel and Jack flushed red as they saw the little carvings. A wolf, an apple, a donut and a peacock...they had all wondered how much time you had spent making all of this, and especially for them....
"You did well, potato..." For once, Vil had no criticism against this. The peacock was carefully crafted, down to the feather. He seems to hesitate for a moment, not wanting to eat this creation you made just for him. Epel on the other hand, would want nothing more than to devour the little treat, even if it was in front of Vil who had just now warned him about his new dietary restrictions after getting a few acne bumps....
"Going through all this trouble to make something special...it kinda gets to me y'know? How about I do something for you in return eh~?" Ruggie smirked, already scheming of many different places he can take you to, far away from everyone else...
Turning to Vargas next, you handed him something "and happy valentines day to you Vargas sir!"
You handed him a tiny chocolate muscle man, lifting a barrel full of eggs. Strange, they all thought. But Vargas seemed more than happy to receive it.
"What a strong little guy! You're quite the interesting type aren't ya?"
"I guess I am hehe~"
Flying class went smoother than usual. Checking the time, you decided it was time to head to ignihyde to check on the resident elusive dorm leader...
Walking through the halls of ignihyde, you specifically wanted to go to Idia directly to give him his little valentines treat. But, as per usual, he was not present physically. So you might as well meet him directly in his dorm room.
"So this is Idia's room..." You knock once, no response.
"Hey, I noticed that I couldn't find you in person so...I'll just place your valentines day gift here, 'kay?"
On the other side, Idia could not believe what he heard "...Valentines?"
You placed the little mecha head shaped chocolate on the footsteps to his door
"I'll leave this here. Happy valentines day, little flame~"
It took a long while before Idia could reply "T-thanks ah- um........."
You moved away and crossed him off the list of people to send your gifts out to. Unbeknownst to you, Idia was shaking.
"fhjhskdhjksjahhh!!!!! I can't believe it...this gift....." picking up the box, he can see the detail you had put on this. Even down to the seams of the robot.
Idia laid down on the ground for a couple minutes, his pink flames threatening to scortch the carpet. But at this point, he didn't care. What he held in his hand was something you made just for him...and those moments lying down turned into minutes slowly turned to hours....and hours turned into.....well....
Down the hall you could see Ortho, configuring some hardware for the main area. You had something special for him too.
"Ah! Ortho! Hey!"
The little robot looked up from his work station, his eyes lighting up as he saw you go near him. You fumbled around your bag for his gift.
"I have something for you, ah- here!"
Inside is a chocolate shaped skull, specifically the skulls that adorned his and his older brother's rooms and clothes.
"Happy valentines day, ortho!"
In his excitement, he had tackled you hard into the ground. If he had known any better he would have thought that he was shortcircuiting in his excitement
"Aaah! Thank you so much!!.... I can't really eat this, but I'll scan it for the archives so I'll remember this forever!!"
You both said your goodbyes as you crossed out his name. There were still a few more to go.
The sun was slowly setting and afternoon classes had already ended, so time was of the essence for you to gift everything to all your loved ones.
Running around the main halls once more, you accidentally bump into someone....standing.....sleeping?
Silver caught you just in time before you hit the ground, his arms gripping you firmly close to him until the two of you are stable.
Heat slowly creeped into your face at how close you are together "Sorry I-"
"...No, it's fine...Are you okay?"
"yes! and I uh...I have something for yo-"
"HUMAN!!! What are you doing in the middle of the hallways, you could've hurt someone! or even worse, YOURSELF!!"
'Ah...sebek....'
"Awww come on Sebek, I'm sure the prefect's just clumsy today"
'Lilia too? Perfect timing'
"Oh! I'm glad Im seeing all of you now, I have something for all of you....right...here!"
Handing all three of them your gifts, you watched as each of them reacted slowly at the little chocolate figurines you made. A sword, a crocodile, a bat. All three of them were in a state of fluster at this gesture. For once, Sebek did not have anything to say, and the same went for Lilia.
"This is adorable~! I'm surprised you'd get something for me..."
Sebek looked away as he spoke "T-thank you...human..."
Silver had never been more awake than he was before. It's clear that his face had flushed a soft pink, and his white hair had only contrasted the pink coloring his cheeks. "I don't think I can thank you enough..."
"it makes me even more certain now with what I- no...it's okay. You don't have to worry about it" He smiled, cheekily hiding that plan he had under his smile.
"What's with the commotion! It's almost time to retire for the night!"
'Crowley...'
"Ah! Headmaster! This one's for you too!"
You handed him a little chocolate raven, he seemed more than ecstatic to receive something of this caliber.
"This...for me???!!!!! Oh!!!! Oh how generous of you!!!"
He pulled all four of you into a reluctantly big hug "You all are so precious!!!"
In between all of them, you squeezed in a hug back "no problem, headmaster"
Once they all left, you headed to ramshackle to retire. After all, you had someone waiting for you at this hour...
A familiar horned silhouette greeted you at the gate "...You came"
You peered through the bushes and pushed forward, looking to the fae waiting for you. The moonlight shone on his skin with an ethereal glow, and he was more than happy to see you.
"I have something for you, here..."
You handed him a chocolate gargoyle, wrapped with a green bow.
"Happy valentines day, tsunotarou~"
He froze for a moment, not comprehending that someone, anyone, would give him anything other than isolation on the day celebrating love. "This...is for me?"
Nodding your head, you smiled "Yeah! I made it last night, took me awhile y'know! But I think it paid off"
Malleus' gaze softened, a feeling of warmth igniting inside him as he held the box closer to him "I am eternally grateful for this, I am sure blessings will come to you after this..."
You tilted your head "...blessings? What do you have planned-"
He chuckled "You needn't worry about that, child of man."
After all the shennanigans of today, you had finally did it. Thirty something gifts for every one of them...It's a miracle as to how you even achieved it. But as you entered the house, there was something that was placed on top of the coffee table of the living room. Something....wrapped? There seems to be a letter as well. Strange...
'This box...Who is this from?' you thought.
As you read the note on the box, your cheeks flushed and your eyes widened.
"This...this is from...."
You smiled, you really couldn't believe it. It was none other than him...
This secret admirer revealed...and none other than...

꧁𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜꧂
- "𝐀𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝗼𝐝𝐲" The ability to summon small tiny golden spirits, about the size of wisps, by blowing a conch shell into a song. The user is then able to control these spirits. However, it is a docile ability. The spirits are too small to be aggressive. But who knows if they will grow larger by the age of the user….
- 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝗼𝗺 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥 : Legends say that if a child is born from a conch shell, it means that an angel has been born. The truth in this legend remains unknown. However, due to Pin-Cha being born born from said conch, he has a unique ability to contact and communicate with spirits.
- 𝐒𝐢𝐱𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 : Highly sensitive to magic and can see ghosts, spirits, demons, or supernaturals of the like.
꧁𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝗼𝐮𝐭 𝐏𝐢𝐧-𝐂𝐡𝐚꧂
- Pin-Cha is inspired by a character from a Thai literature piece called “สังข์ทอง” (Sang-Tong). Which directly translates to “Golden Conch”. The story is about a woman who gave birth to a conch! It is also a legend that, as stated above, if a child is born from a conch (or if you gave birth to it) it means that an angel has been born! Kinda weird, but fascinating in its own way🕺✨
- That said, his name “Pin-Cha” means “Gold”. I was looking for synonyms for gold in Thai and thought this sounded kinda cute😭 his name kinda sounds like “pinch”. Gotta make a dad joke with that some day-
- I struggled a lot with his hair- it’s very different from the first draft. And his eyes were supposed to be big and round😞 but I still liked how he turned out! I’ll draw his OG eyes in comics next time💓
- In the story, from how I remember, every time the mother goes out, a young boy (Sang-Tong) would come out of the conch and start cleaning the house. He would immediately go back in once his mother comes back. That’s why I made Pin-Cha’s ability to be quite docile, so he can use those spirits to help him clean the halls of Royal Sword Academy🫶
- Pin-Cha doesn’t wear shoes. But he has these two rings on his ankles that have bells on them. So every time he walks runs, you will here TINGLE TINGLE TINGLKEKJTINGW TING TING TINGJNGJRIFJEKF yeah. That’s when you know he’s near 🔔
꧁𝐀𝐛𝗼𝐮𝐭 𝐏𝐢𝐧-𝐂𝐡𝐚꧂
- He’s quite timid and shy, very soft spoken and polite. Pin-Cha is all-in-all a good boy— the golden boy of royal sword academy (some might say.)
- Pin-Cha has never known his parents. The only parental figure he’s ever had, and still has, is the headmaster of Royal Sword Academy. The headmaster is a father figure to Pin-Cha, and the boy wishes he could call the headmaster “papa” some day.
- The headmaster allows Pin-Cha to attend classes, and the boy does! Even though he doesn’t understand what the lessons are all about, he still likes to observe how a lecture works. But he usually cleans the academy most of the time.
- Although Pin-Cha is a sweet boy, he sometimes wishes he was….cool.
- Because when he was allowed to visit Night Raven College, he immediately laid eyes on a rowdy group of students. A red-haired boy with a heart on his cheek, another boy with a spade on his cheek, a young girl and a…talking cat?
- He saw how much they laughed together. He saw how much they do all sorts of weird things— especially that talking cat and the girl. Pin-Cha just wished he could climb trees and act crazy like they do.
- And then he began his “rebellious” journey….the most he did was eat pizza with a fork (he thought that was evil.)
- Pin-Cha still has a long way to go , it seems!✨
Bonus!✨ (this is the first draft a d full-body)

Different scenarios where one of the first years gets really hurt? (first years bonding!!)
:D
(Warning: Blood and injury mention on some of the first years)
Ace Trappola
He gets himself hurt every other day.
It can range from alchemy class incident, got hit by a basketball or even tripping himself.
But when he came to Ramshackle with bruises, a split lip, and red eyes, Epel is immediately asking for names.
Apparently he got into a fight in town and got overwhelmed, so he ran before things could get worse.
Jack and Sebek deals with Ace's injuries while Deuce, Epel and Yuu (+ Grim) are helping Ortho get payback at that person.
Yuu later invites Ace for dinner at Ramshackle.
The money isn't theirs, but it's alright.
Deuce Spade
Probably get into a fight with the more delinquent students, or he tries to stop a fight.
Anyway, he ended up with a swollen cheek.
Yuu gets some ice from the fridge while Epel is asking for names.
Deuce, being the sweetheart he is, asks them to let it go.
It was just an accident, there's no need to escalate it.
Unfortunately, Deuce forgets that his friends are not normal.
The student that picks a fight with Deuce lost their money for the month.
Jack Howl
He fell into one of Rook's trap holes that was meant for Leona.
The hunter helped him get out, but the damage is done.
So now Jack is forced to stay in his room for two weeks until his ankle healed.
No jogging or any activities that might put too much pressure on his legs.
He was bored out of his mind and was considering jumping out of the window to escape and have a quick run.
Luckily the first year squad help keep him company.
Sebek offers to carry Jack, but he can't even get a step out of the door before collapsing.
Epel Felmier
Most likely alchemy incident.
He was making potions in Crewel's class but ended up tripping and have one of his arms smashed under a cauldron.
He ended up with a cast and has to wait until it healed.
Problem is, that injured arm is his dominant one.
Yuu helps him takes notes, and even offers to help him study later.
The first years all sign his cast, with Grim stamping his paw on it.
Epel was a bit sad in having the cast removed.
Ortho Shroud
How should I say this...
It's not an injury per se, but
Ortho kinda... Forgot that he's a robot.
It happened during recess, and everyone was eating.
Ortho forgot that he's not supposed to eat solid food and eat the food that Yuu bought for everyone (using money from the people that picked a fight with Deuce)
It wasn't until Grim, of all people, that realised why is Ortho eating. When everyone realized he immediately shuts down.
The panic and took Ortho to Idia.
It'll take a couple of weeks for Idia to clean Ortho's body, so for the meantime he'll use the floating tablet to go to class.
The others help Ortho by picking up his stuffs and playing games while they wait for his body to be cleaned up.
Ortho founds out he can enter his game avatar and play in first person pov in game.
Chaos ensues.
Sebek Zigvolt
Got hurt at the field.
He was busy yelling at Silver to wake up, because they're on a broom.
He didn't watch where he was going and ended up crashing to a tree.
The last thing he remembered was a wet feeling on his forehead, feeling dizzy and before everything went dark he heard Lilia yelling his name.
He woke up at the infirmary with his head bandaged.
Turns out he hit his head pretty hard and landed in a patch of magic flowers just outside the field.
Said magic flowers will make people speak no louder than a whisper.
It's mostly up to Jack and Ortho to help Sebek, since he can't even speak at normal volume.
It wears off in a week or so, so Diasomnia was... Strangely quiet.
So quiet that some students had insomnia (lol) because they were used to having Sebek's loud voice as background noise.
Grim
Poor guy got kicked by a random student.
He ended up with a broken hindleg and has to stay at Ramshackle until it heals.
Meanwhile, the other first years are holding back the prefect who is beating the person who kicked Grim into a bloody pulp.
How are they so strong?
Not even a robot, a huge wolf beastmen, a half fae and three students could hold them back.
The other students who witnessed the bloodbath silently vow not to mess with the cat.
Back with Grim, Yuu makes him special food to raise his spirits.
It was peaceful until Grim asks Yuu;
Grim: "Hey, what happened at school? I heard some guy got beaten to a bloody pulp or somethin',"
Yuu: "... Just the usual fighting, you know how it is,"
The rest of the first years: 'It's not the 'usual' fight, your other student half nearly committed homicide!!!'
Yuu
Some students probably picks a fight with the magic less prefect while thejr friends aren't with them.
When Grim finds Yuu on the ground with blood on their face, first thing he did is get help.
Second thing he did is tell the others what happened.
It is on sight.
Of course, they didn't pick a fight with other students, Yuu would definitely tell them to be more creative.
So Ortho just hacks into their student account and steals two months worth of money.
Then he hacked into Monstro Lounge's bank account and transferred the same two months worth into the bullies' account.
Then he messaged Azul that someone hacked into their account.
Azul, along with the Tweels act accordingly to Ortho's plan. Those students ended up working at Monstro Lounge to pay back for the money they never stole.
The first years use the money to fix up Ramshackle, buy food supplies and buy get well gifts for Yuu.
If you think that's the end of it, you're mistaken.
The rest of the NRC friend group found out what happened, so they delivered punishment to the students who beat Yuu up.
Since Yuu is friends with all of the dorm leaders, none of those students could escape their dorm leader's wrath.

There are plenty of monster students yet to be introduced to you, but for today let's start with...

(Messy) Design notes:
Tumblr media
Give me strength to complete this project with every character. Just Jamil's took me days because I kept getting stuck with that first scraped design ⚰️ of course I had to start with him since AHEM AHEM I hate him sm (lying)
The only thing I forgor to add in the pic above is that the reason I made his hair half green/blue/(?) Is bcs I wanted something to contrast with the red clothes. For the first half of the process I thought his color pallette was too boring in general, so I slapped a gradient over his Rapunzel hair and called it a day tbh 💪
I'm still not 100% sure if I nailed it the way I originally wanted to, buy hey, It's a start. Can't let my perfectionism hold be back and keep me from sharing my art til the end of times. So here it is. First entry. I'm posting this at 22:20 right after I got home from class so I hope my exhaustion didn't sneak in some typos in the post 😫😫 oh and by the way the snake names were all ideas I asked for on my instagram stories. I absolutely love Steve. The person who sent the idea said that it was Kalim who named it that way and I can totally see it happening
But in a final note, I wanted a cooler layout for me to post the series, so I took the name Ghostly Gossip from Spectra's original name for her blog before it became The Gory Gazette, I believe? I'm having fun with this idea that everyone would be introduced by a in-universe blog post just like the original monster high website used to do. So I'm creating a tag for the navigation purposes too! At #.the ghostly gossip hehe, but that's kinda all! Um,, stay tuned? (Runs away)

Some Yandere Deuce Spade Headcanons
OCTO NOTE: Okay after reading @dark-side-blog3 yandere headcanons about Deuce, I was inspired to write something for him lol.
Ig this can count for his birthday as well lol.
Warnings: NOT-PROOF READ, yandere, Out of Character madness, bullying, mentions of violence, Deuce is an absolute dickhead at the start lol, inaccurate because I’m writing this by memory.
Reader is ALWAYS Gender-Neutral!
------------------------------
I couldn’t stop thinking about what would yandere! Deuce be like if you had met him PRIOR to the events of Twisted Wonderland. And how he would react to you also going to NRC as well.
I have no idea anyone else talked about this before, but imagine Deuce being a complete asshole, and you being the main target of his wrong-doings. Meaning Deuce doing ANYTHING to make your life a living hell.
Taking your lunch money, slapping your books out of your hands when you pass each other in the hallways, kicking the back of your ankle in gym class, causing you to fall down and making a fool of yourself in front of everyone.
Hell, he probably almost ran you over with his stupid blastcycle with his lackeys.
All that torment, all that humiliation you had to endure.
And it’s because Deuce wasn’t able to express his feelings towards you correctly. 
This stupid motherfucker thought the statement: “The more you hurt them, the more they’ll like you” was actually legit.
But eventually, you graduated middle school. It was like the weight on your shoulders disappeared. Because you’ll be moving far, far away from your hometown for secondary school. You’ll be attending Night Raven College, a prestigious school you got accepted in due to your hard work. 
A brand new start. 
Meaning no more bullying, no more suffering, no more head being stuck inside of a toilet bowl. 
And no more stupid Deuce Spade and his stupid lackeys with their stupid blastcycles.
No way he could’ve gotten accepted into a school like NRC.
You thanked whoever was watching you. You couldn’t wait to leave.
oof rip reader lol
Fast forward a few months later. You arrived at NRC and waited to be sorted into your dorm.
You’re so excited! New people meaning new friends! Not people who wanted to hurt you.
While waiting for the sort-ment, you couldn’t help but feel like someone was intensely staring at the back of your head.
And that feeling was right because when you turned around to check, you were met with dark blue eyes looking directly at you. 
You kept staring at each other for a moment before the person tensed up and looked quickly away after.
You raised your eyebrow. You bring your hand up to the back of your head. Was there something wrong?
You weren’t able to see the face of the person due to the large hood blocking the way. But then you paid no mind after a second, turning back around to the front.
Once Deuce saw you looked away from the corner of his eye, he then turned back to look at you again.
As soon as he saw the back of your head, it felt like the world stopped for a moment.
It’s you! It’s really you!
Oh how he wanted to approach you. How he wanted to apologize for everything he put you through, he wanted to tell you that he realized how much of an asshole he was, how he wanted to ask you so bad to be his friend, how he wanted to express everything he felt for you, how in the future—he hoped that you both could be more than just schoolmates.
Even when you caught him, he couldn’t help but keep staring at you. Oh how he missed you beautiful eyes. Thank goodness you decided not to put on your hood right now, or else he wouldn't been able to tell that was you!
How could he have ever hurt you? You’re absolutely adorable, you’re just incredible in general .
You even got into the same school as him! It was a surprise that he got in, but it wasn’t a surprise to see that you got accepted as well. He knew how smart you were.
I mean— you did all of his assignments…in middle school…after threatening to beat you up if you didn’t.
Deuce wanted to smack his forehead until there was a dent in it.
God, he has to say sorry to you. He did try to apologize before leaving for NRC, multiple times actually. But as soon as he reached the door of your house, he couldn’t help but freeze. He got scared and ran off.
But when he finally got the courage to say sorry, you already left for school. 
He was so depressed after that day. 
All he wants now is to become a better person! He wants to erase his entire delinquent past for the sake of his mother. Especially after overhearing his mothers conversation with his grandmother.
And that’s a promise he swore to!
And now since you're also attending NRC, that promise is locked in since you’re here with him. He now has all the time in the world to prove to you that he's a changed person now. He'll make sure not to screw up this time.
Tumblr media
OCTO NOTE: You have no idea how long it took to find a Deuce GIF that didn't have Ace and Grim in it lmaoooo.
I might expand on this if anyone wants me to. But it would have to be after I release a few more fics I wanted to do.
Thank you!

A small re-imagination of Octavia for @silly-seer !! Thank you for telling me my asks weren't enabled ;v,
Anyway, my thought process for this one !
- I always thought it was pretty funny for Octavia to be grunge/"goth" when she's literal royalty, when the movements themselves were born from middle-lower classes not being able to buy things and having to use them until they broke. So, I gave her a more definitive aesthetic (Grunge, specifically), but made it really sanitized in order to signalize how she can't really understand the meaning behind it. The cuts on her jeans are cut by her, for example, her gloves are special made for her by designer, her beanie's little pin is super expensive because its plated with gold, etc.
- Made her more like Stella, because it's genuinely kind of unnerving how much she only looks like Stolas. She's basically just his sister at this point. In this redesign's context, I made Stella a peacock like Andre because it made more sense, so Octavia is half owl and half peahen. Her beak, tail, feather color and feet are like Stella's, while her color palette for the clothes, face and little horn feathers are Stolas'.
- For the Goetias, I decided I wanted a card theme. Stolas is diamonds, Stella is clubs, Andre is spades and Octavia is hearts. However, since she's pissed off all the time, hers is actually broken hearts :D most obvious one is the bang over face breaking the heart pattern, but her lil horns also connect to form one when shes excited or paying attention.
- I didn't color it in because im lazy but she's mostly purple, pink and white under the clothes (like stella), but her usual style is strangely like how Stolas usually dresses. It kinda symbolizes how she's conflicted with the whole divorce thing, but also how much she's disconnected. Theming is my passion
This probably won't be the final design tbh. She's really fascinating honestly, both in personality and design wise canonically. I wish they'd expand more on it, but hey, who cares righs ?
Anyway, here's the pencil sketches for this one ! Ft Stella for one of them

Random thoughts toward a D&D-alike attribute generation system:
Things I like from 3d6-in-order:
You don’t meet your character until you generate them. Rather than coming up with a character concept and fitting it into the rules (or bringing in a preexisting character and importing them), you learn about your character through the process of generating them.
Characters have unexpected strengths; a character is not entirely predictable from their class.
Things I don’t like:
Tends to generate mediocre and boring characters. Very high odds of getting all/almost all stats in the 9-12 range, which is boring.
Can generate unbalanced parties
Basically everything else
A thing I’m neutral on:
Not knowing your character class until you roll
So!
I’m thinking about something using card draws. You get a certain number of draws, and every draw adds a minor positive feature to your character, or possibly negates a negative one.
I think I’d line the suits up with classes. Going with the classic four, Diamonds-Thieves and Hearts-Clerics are the obvious pairings; the tarot suit equivalents suggest Spades-Fighters (Swords) and Clubs-Mages (Wands). Arguably, the tarot suits could be used all around; coins for thieves and cups for clerics, but that leaves a question of what to do with the major arcana (tbh, probably best left out).
Then each card in each suit needs to be assigned an ability. Probably I would use enough draws in character creation that abilities don’t have to be exactly balanced (it’ll average out over enough draws) but none of them can be too powerful for a first-level character to have.
How many draws? Five is probably too few, thirteen (a full bridge hand) is probably too many.
For abilities, I’m thinking:
Spades:
Always-on bonus to melee damage (replaces the bonus from a high strength score)
Always-on to-hit bonuses
Extra HP (replaces the bonus from a high constitution score)
Better starting equipment (yeah, this one gets obsoleted pretty fast, but it helps you survive long enough to obsolete it)
Weapon specialization?
Hearts:
Auspicious divine influence?
AD&D’s only bonus spells were a cleric-only thing for high wisdom. I could see having it give spell slots that, for non-clerics, can only be used for certain spells. especially for healing spells.
I’d put any destiny stuff here, too. If your character is prophesied for something or cursed in some way, that’s a hearts thing.
Really though anything to do with clerics depends pretty deeply on how clerics work and I’m not happy with that.
Diamonds:
Stealth bonus (importantly, this applies whether or not you’re a thief)
Bonus vs surprise attacks?
Criminal contacts?
Clubs:
Otherworldly contacts
Chance to understand strange languages
Improved chances to identify magic/if you’re using classic-style chance to learn spell rolls, improved chances there (D&D3 equivalent would be a spellcraft skill bonus)
If I’m doing the AD&D2 thing where specialist wizards are rare, some might be empty prerequisites (drawing the 4 of clubs during character creation means you can specialize in evocation but if you don’t play a wizard it doesn’t do anything else)
I might also consider penalties (analogous to low-stat penalties) for short suits. If you have no clubs in your chargen hand, you’re illiterate, for instance, With a lot of draws, I might include penalties for singletons as well, not just voids.
I might also consider some chance for bonuses for pairs, threes, and four of a kinds, but probably only for face cards. Any bonuses that exist for those are things that only some characters are getting without other characters getting an equivalent, with the only “cost” being that you have to be spread a little thin to have them (not counting the luck needed to draw them)
If I go the tarot route, I’d have major arcana add significant benefits, but at a tradeoff. Some of them might just straight-up have “get this, lose this,” while others would have something like “pick another card you’ve drawn from this character to lose and get this, or lose this card,” but what they offer I’d make pretty wild.
