Hey, there. I'm Lucille (or Luce for short) and consider this the evil version of my main blog (@awakefor48hours). This blog is focused solely on Black Clover manga content meaning there's Black Clover manga spoilers.
I should also mention there is a very real chance I’ll reblog something on the wrong blog sometimes, so if that happens I’m sorry.
Also, I will be using the same tags for character relationships as I do on my main blog which are:
#green thread of fate for Vanessa and Finral
#space brothers for Finral and Langris
#big sis vanessa for any posts about Vanessa being depicted as an older sister (usually Luck or Noelle’s older sister)
#flower vermillions is Mimosa and Kirsch
#flame vermillions is Leopold, Fuegoleon, and Mereoleona
#fire flower vermillions are the flame vermillions and the flower vermillions
#demon bros is Liebe and Asta
#anti social gang is for Gauche, Grey, and Gordon, (sometimes Henry)
Boss! This is where you Black Clover now? That's fun... I wonder if you've got more Blue Rose au thoughts/ ideas?
This is my sideblog so I could post about the manga as I don't talk about the manga on my main blog.
I don't have new AUs as of late, I really want to finish my other WIPs before I start to another AU so that'll take.... a while. But thanks for checking in.
okay so, most characters got basically dropped on their heads in some way in the final arc
i dont like all the sexualizing noelle obv, but i feel like she couldve done more in the lucius fight at least
just something bigger than that tiny distraction
charlotte shouldve been shown training with her magic to get the red roses, i want to see her serious and competent side way more than the panicked yami loving side
it would’ve hit harder if mereoleona had died, i personally think it wouldve been a valid way to end her character
fighting for the kingdom and showing her love towards her brothers
im not mad she’s alive, i love her, but i think it would’ve been more impactful if she had
i swear, more could’ve been done with mimosa the entire series
i cant imagine how people can think she’s gonna get with asta when she’s barely utilized in places that she could have shown
i think she deserves more fights and more attention to her growing power
also, i freaking wish we actually saw the bulls in their anti magic forms fighting. grey and vanessa have so much potential witj that even ignoring everyone else like come on
By the way, I've been meaning to ask, what couples would you like to see at the end of the BC? In fact, I see that a lot of people want Asta to be with Noelle, but Tabata seems to have made a huge hint about Mimosa and Asta's couple. However, it's unclear whether Yuno will be with anyone at all. In my opinion, Tabata will leave him without a partner, as it would be very progressive, as again, the meaning of life is not limited to a significant other. In fact, I actually like his relationship with Charmy. It's unlikely, but I would be happy about it. Also, I like both Asta and Mimosa's couple, as well as Asta and Noelle. As you can see, I don't have any specific favorites, but I would like to hear your opinion💗💗💗
Realistically, BC is most likely going to end with Asta/Noelle, Mimosa/Yuno, Charlotte/Yami, and Charmy/Rill.
But, if we’re ignoring canon, Mimosa/Fana the Hateful (let my lesbians thrive), Kahono/Noelle (SEA GIRLFRIENDS FTW!!!), Lily/Vanica (blood and water lesbians!!), Asta/Rebecca, Ichika/Charlotte, Kiato/Leo (fire and water boys are kissing), and can’t forget the OGs Magna/Luck
Adramelech and Kirsch are definitely fucking raw and nasty behind a dive bar. Kirsch is denying his feelings for Adra but we know the truth.
AdraKirsch has been one of my favorite ships I've thought about for a while. You got guy who's royalty, wears the brightest colors you see, and can't shut up about it. Then you got guy who's also royalty, wears black/dark colors, and can't be bothered to talk.

Happy Rare Pair Week, @bceventshub
Summary: Everyone has a Timer showing a countdown to the end of their life and Charlotte was no different. She was happy with hers until she was cursed to die sooner
Hey hey hey! Glad to have you all here. I’m glad to make this fic for a ship I’m calling Flower’s Fate (open to other ideas out there) for what was originally Poly Week but didn’t post in the end because I didn’t feel like it and now posting for Rare Pair Week instead.
Mana did a lot of strange things. It could change landscapes, change the flavor of your drink, and can even give the weakest person the strength of ten men. There was hardly any rhyme or reason to it, so no one thought too hard about it.
One of the many effects mana has on the body is the timer, aptly named the Timer. It was a clock that was etched on one’s wrists, counting down the seconds until death. The only Timers people could see were their own and their soulmate’s.
Hardly anyone looked at their Timer, though. It wasn’t healthy to think about just how long you have left to live. On the rare occasions one would look at a Timer would be to look at their soulmate’s just to see how long they had left to live.
It was the best way to keep people happy, but there was a slight issue. Children. Children are quite curious things and have been known to look at their Timers early on in life. Many parents and caretakers have taken to wrapping their children’s wrists with cloths, bandages, anything to stop them from looking at it until they got to be old enough to realize that it was a bad idea.
Ignorance was bliss. But there was only so much parents and caretakers could do. Covering up the Timer only made the temptation to look at it that much sweeter. There will always be moments of privacy in a child’s life when they can look at their own Timer without outside interference and Charlotte was one of those children.
Her parents had always made a spectacle about hiding it from her that she just couldn’t help herself. She couldn’t contain her curiosity. At the age of ten, she sneaked a glance at her own Timer while bathing. Looking down on her wrist, she saw that she had 80 years, 5 months, 1 week, 3 days, 19 hours, 14 minutes, and 42 seconds left to live. That was a long time. Longer than most people and that gave her comfort. There was more than enough time left for her to live.
That is until the mysterious witch showed up.
When Charlotte was 12 years old, there was a witch who came to the House of Roselei and placed a curse on Charlotte.
“A curse! A curse on you, House Roselei!” The witch announced. “When your daughter turns 18, it will activate. A curse that will engulf you all and kill her! If you wish to break it, she must have her heart stolen by a man!”
Before anyone had any time to do something, the witch left, and Charlotte was cursed.
Her Timer was now tainted, covered by a black mist that had a new Timer. What once showed a long and healthy life was now cut far too short. Instead of the 78 years that had been promised to her, she now had 6 years. All because of that stupid curse.
Every day, she looked at her Timer, watching the short amount of time she had to find a partner or her soulmate would find her in time to break the curse. But they didn’t come.
The only ones who came her way were selfish men who wanted nothing but the name of Roselei. It was isolating and knowing that each man who asked for her hand in marriage just for their own means only made her feel bitter. It was literally dragging her and her family to an early grave.
Unfortunately, there was no one there to save her. No man willing to do what was right or be worthy of her heart. For 6 long years, she tried and failed.
She was nearing 18 now and she laid in bed, looking at her Timer again. It showed 0 years, 0 months, 0 weeks, 0 days, 1 hour, 17 minutes, and 32 seconds left to live. In a little over an hour, the clock would strike midnight and she would die, taking everyone else around down with her.
Why was she so weak? How did she allow herself to get destroyed like this? Now she was going to die and it was all her fault. If only she had gotten strong enough to overpower her curse in time. If only she could find her soulmate in time. If only she was just a little bit better.
These thoughts consumed and destroyed her mind. If she was going to die, she might as well do it far away from everyone else so they wouldn’t be engulfed by her magic. No one else should suffer for her own shortcomings.
She left a note on her bed and left through her window like a thief in the night.
When she made it to the ground, she only had so much time before her Timer went off, activating her curse, and destroying everything around her. She didn’t have a lot of time to get away from everyone.
She used all her strength to run. Run far away into a nearby forest, hoping to find no one in her way. Even as her legs burned with pain, she continued to run as fast as she could. She ran without stopping until she reached her limit.
Now that she reached her limit, she collapsed on the ground, panting harshly. As she was panting, she brought her wrist back into her line of sight to look at her Timer again. It said that she only had 20 minutes now, meaning she ran for almost an hour straight, no wonder she was so tired.
If she got this far, there was probably no one around to hurt when her curse activated. Lying down and waiting for death was unbecoming of her but she at least had the choice of where to do it.
She closed her eyes and awaited death. This was the end of her story.
“Darling, look.” That voice. She’s never heard the voice before. “I knew I saw someone.”
Charlotte opened her eyes to see who this stranger was. It was a tall woman with pink hair and purple eyes. She was wearing a pink low fitting corset that covered just enough of her body to not be called indecent and matching boots.
Another woman, much shorter, came out of the foliage. She had long black hair tied into a braid, wearing foreign clothes, the top she was wearing was black, her pants were grey, and sandals. “Looks like you’re right, there was a person over here. I really can’t see well in the dark.”
“You have shadow magic, how do you have night blindness?”
Once Charlotte caught her breath, she quickly recollected herself and backed away. “Stay back!”
The women looked shocked. The pink-haired woman asked, “what’s going on? Are you okay?”
Charlotte was holding her arm, as if it would slow down her Timer, and she moved her hand just enough to look at the time. 10 minutes and 8 seconds remaining. She only had 10 minutes left to live, if these two didn’t get out of here soon, they were going to die along with her.
“You have to go, now! Or else it’ll consume you!” She could’ve phrased that better but she was still exhausted after running nonstop for an hour.
That didn’t seem to bother either of them. The pink haired woman just had a pondering, almost concerned, look on her face and asked, “is that your Timer? It looks cursed.”
“Yeah, I—” The words got stuck in Charlotte’s throat. “Wait… can you see my Timer?”
She just nodded.
Desperation filled Charlotte’s mind as she continued to talk. “Then… then are you my soulmate?”
“No, that’s not it at all. I have fate magic, it lets me manipulate and see fate. That’s how I can see Timers even if someone isn’t my soulmate, and if I touch someone, they can see Timers too.”
That’s right, fate magic. She’s read about that before. It’s a rare type of magic so not much is known about it. “Even though you have fate magic, is there any possibility that I’m your soulmate?”
The pink haired woman sucked in a breath through her teeth. “I could explain how I know but it’s better if I just show you.” The pink haired woman walked up next to Charlotte, put a hand on her shoulder so they were now touching, and showed off her wrist with her Timer.
Her Timer was odd. There was a slice through the middle and it didn’t show a time or anything reminiscent of time. First it just showed the word “savory” then it changed to another word, “creek.” Her Timer changed once again but this time it wasn’t a word, it was just a picture of a bed.
“As you can see, my Timer’s broken. After breaking my Timer, I also broke my connection to my soulmate. I don’t have a soulmate.”
This was a lot of new information to take in all at once, she couldn’t believe there was a way to sever a Timer and bond to a soulmate. “How did you do that?”
“It’s a technique that is from my country.” The short woman said, raising a hand.
Charlotte looked back up at the short woman and caught a glimpse at her Timer. It was also broken. From what she saw, there was a word that she couldn’t quite understand.
パン
Then it changed again to show a picture of a squid. That was all Charlotte could see before the woman put her hand down.
These two were very strange but in her current predicament… maybe, just maybe, they could help her before her own cursed Timer ran out. “Who are you people?”
“I’m Vanessa Wyrdwitch and this is my girlfriend, Yami Ichika.”
Yami turned her head to Vanessa, and said, “don’t tell her our names.”
“Come on, Yami. She needs help. Look at her Timer.” Vanessa put a hand on Yami’s shoulder. “Look at it, it’s tainted. Shouldn’t we help her?”
Yami looked at Charlotte’s wrist, she seemed conflicted about this. “Cursed woman, what’s your name?”
“Charlotte. Charlotte Roselei.”
“Okay, Charlotte. I’m sure you know this but your Timer has been cursed and you’ll die in–” Yami took Charlotte’s hand to look at her wrist, “– 8 minutes. I can break your curse for you but it’s not my place to make that decision for you so I’m giving you a choice. We can leave you alone and let your Timer run out or I can use my technique to sever your curse. I wish we got to run into you sooner, that way you could have some actual time to think this through but please make your decision soon.”
For 6 years, 6 long years, all Charlotte has wanted to do was break her curse. It was to the point where everything was secondary to it. The image of all her past suitors flashed through mind. They were all pushy and cruel, wanting her hand in marriage for their own petty reasons but Yami was different. She was given a choice. An honest to goodness choice to have what she wants. There was only one thing for Charlotte to say. “Please do it. Please break my curse.”
Yami nodded and grabbed Charlotte’s hand, trying to hold her wrist at an angle. “Alright, you asked for this. I just need you to hold still while I do this. If I miss, I could cut your hand off.”
That was all the warning she needed to stay still. Yami took a deep breath in through her nose and Charlotte didn’t move a muscle but kept her eyes on the Timer, watching it tick down. 0 years, 0 years, 0 months, 0 weeks, 0 days, 0 hours, 8 minutes, and 21 seconds remaining. Yami took her other hand, the one that wasn’t keeping Charlotte’s wrist stable, and sliced downwards.
As Yami’s fingertips passed down past her Timer, the black fog was severed in two. It was gone. It was gone and she was free now. The darkness that has consumed her life was lifted just like that. She could almost cry at the sight of it. 74 years, 0 months, 6 weeks, 2 days, 11 hours, 6 minutes, and 44 seconds remaining.
All Charlotte could muster out in this moment was “I’m free.” For the first time in a long time, she was free. No more greedy suitors. No more late night panics. Just this now. Her own life ahead of her.
Yami stood up and brushed herself off. “If that’s all, we’ll be taking our leave.”
Vanessa took her hand off Charlotte’s shoulder and she almost wanted to call her back to feel her touch again. “Yeah, we should probably go. It’s nice meeting you.”
Seeing them both stand up and leave made her feel wrong.
Charlotte looked back at her Timer again. Now that the immediate relief of her curse getting broken was gone, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of bitterness towards her Timer now. She was able to extend her life once but there’ll be a day when she’ll watch it tick down again. Waiting for the moment death would take her, only she wouldn’t have two wonderful strangers come to help her. The more she thought about it, the more she came to hate her Timer. She was tired of letting a stupid magic clock dictate her life. She didn't even care if she lived to be 91 anymore. This was her life, there shouldn't be anyone or anything that tells her what to do with anymore.
“Before you go,” Charlotte pointed to her Timer. “Can you please cut my Timer like you did with yours?”
Vanessa put a hand on Yami’s shoulder and Yami looked down at Charlotte’s Timer. “Are you sure you want to? Don’t you want to sleep on this at least? I can’t put this back later and you have a really long life ahead of you.”
“I’ve made up my mind.” She raised her wrist up to Yami and said, "please. Cut it."
“If you're that certain, who am I to stop you?” Yami grabbed Charlotte's hand and just like last time, she took a deep breath in through her nose and once more sliced through the Timer.
Charlotte didn't know what to expect when her Timer was severed but a cold flash on her wrist wasn't one of them. It only lasted a few seconds before her skin went back to its normal temperature again. She looked at the remnants of her Timer and it was just like Vanessa and Yami's Timers, completely shattered and didn't even show time anymore.
The first thing she saw was a flash of the word "pistacchio" then it changed to a picture of a candle then it flashed the word "stenographer." It seems like it would keep doing this for the rest of her life, a life she didn't know how long would be anymore, and she felt light. Almost as if she could walk on air. This was the right decision for her and she wouldn’t regret it.
That wasn't enough for her, though. There was another fate that deserved to be in her hands. "You also said you could cut soulmates. Can you sever the link to mine?”
“Goodness, me,” Vanessa said. “You must really hate fate to want to sever all your bonds like this.”
No one’s ever said it that bluntly before but Vanessa was right. Charlotte did hate hate. Maybe that’s why she looked at her Timer all those years ago, maybe it was because she hated the idea of other people telling her not to look that she had to. Maybe the reason why she wasn’t filled with an urge to run back to her manor is because she didn’t want to live a life that was just handed to her. “I do. This is my life. I want to live it how I please.”
For a moment, Charlotte saw the expression on Ichika’s face soften before going back to her usual stoic expression. “Passion like that is what I think the human spirit is made of. I’ll cut the ties to your soulmate.”
Once more, for the last time that night. Yami held Charlotte’s wrist, took a breath, then sliced downwards. Unlike her Timer, she didn’t feel anything when her soulmate was cut from her. Just a cut and that was that.
There was nothing else to cut now so Yami let go of her and once again Charlotte felt that urge to ask for something else. Just to feel the warm touch of another person who cared about her in some capacity.
They all stood in relative silence until Yami said something first. “Well, if that is all, I think we should take our leave. We still have the rest of the world to see.”
Now that Charlotte had caught her breath and the initial state of disorder had been dealt with, she could actually think through this situation and why the hell are these two randomly in a forest at about midnight? “What do you mean by that?”
Vanessa answered. “We’re decided to live the nomadic lifestyle and travel the world to see as much as possible before we die.” What a wonderful life they must live. Probably in true freedom. A life that honestly sounded appealing to her but it would probably be overstepping if she were to ask them to break her curse, Timer, soulmate bound, and to join them all in one night.
Instead, she just opted to respond to Vanessa. “That sounds great. I’m happy for you.”
They all said their goodbyes and Vanessa said one last thing before leaving. “It was nice to meet you, Charlotte Roselei.”
Charlotte didn’t fight the smile on her face. She would never forget these two. Hopefully, they could meet again and next time, she would join them.
Also guess who randomly got the headcanon that Ichika has night blindness while writing this. Anyway, since I'm right, she does have nightblindness.

13. Whos house/whatever-these-dudes-live-in/building would you want to cover with toilet paper?
14. Your on a public bus headed somewhere. You see multiple empty seats, but these seats are next to your favorite characters. Out of all your favorite characters, who do you choose to sit with and how would it go?
15. Do you have any OCs? if so, who is the best written one?
OKAY THATS ALL I GOT I GOTTA GO NOW BYE BYE
OH MY GOODNESS hello julius ceo!!! thank you for so many questions wow
Top five favorite characters?
This is hard because I like so many but I'd have to say Luck, Rufel, Magna, Mimosa, and Fuegoleon ^^ Mereoleona is tied with him, she's so well done and refreshing as a character
2. Least five favorite characters?
This is a tricky one for me because I live in the meta. There are characters that the show wants me to dislike and I do, like Langris and Dante, but they're still fairly well-written (albeit with some hiccups). I like Charlotte's premise and she's actually pretty high up on my favorites list, but the way she's written in canon makes me want to commit violent acts. Does that count? Other than that, probably Gueldre because I hated him in BCM and Alecdora bc fuck that guy
3. What are your favorite fights?
Magna vs Dante, Magna and Vanessa vs Rufel, Patri vs Julius, Luck vs Svenkin, anything with Luck, Magna, or Dorothy in it.
4. Which is your favorite chapter/episode?
The one with best boy Rufel in it <3 160 my beloved (also the Magna vs Dante fight because oh my godddddddd get his ass)
5. What character(s) reminds you of yourself?
This is a dangerous one uhhh idk
6. What character(s) do you simp/selfship with?
I don't have anything against self-shipping, but it's not really my thing. However, I'm happy whenever Magna is on screen.
Omg some just for me !!! Thank you so much :D
7. Your opinion on the Zogratis family and the Silva family
Holy shit. ok. im gonna try to condense this as much as possible.
Zogratis family - Anyone who tries to redeem these people is doing them a massive disservice for the fantastic characters they are. Part of their excellence as villains comes from them being Asta's shadow -- they are people in power who are completely devoid of human empathy. I would like to know a bit more about their backstory, but it's really not necessary. Vanica and Dante are unambiguous sexual predators who get their absolutely disturbed bullshit glossed over because oh look hot guy and crazy pretty lady. Vanica - and say this with me - is not Misa Death Note. She is a PREDATOR. Dante is an excellent portrayal of overt narcissism (I would have liked to see some more insecurity, but I think it was handled well), Zenon is a really well-written villain and blatant Yuno foil, but Vanica -- Vanica is my favorite of the three in terms of how rare she is as a character type. Tabata writes women that other anime is too scared to even attempt, and he usually does it well (see: Mereoleona). Vanica is another example of that.
Silvas Silvas ok Silvas speedrun. Nebra and Solid's redemption scene took me off guard because of how fucking spectacular it was and now I can't kill them in my fics anymore because I like them????? insane. Nozel needed an extra chapter, and Tabata hard-switching him from an abuser to a ✨tsuntsun big brother who reawwy just wanted the best fow hew all awong ✨ was a disservice. However, I see what the intention was and I respect it. I think Noelle's story of forgiveness is so powerful, but the next time I see people making her ditch her family (the Bulls) for her bio family (the Silvas), I'm killing a hostage.
8. You recieve a gift from one of the characters you dislike! What would you do?
Probably sell it lmao all the people I don't like are richie rich
9. Who in Black Clover would you date/be friends with?
Who in Black Clover would I LIKE to be friends with? Magna and Luck. Who in Black Clover would I END UP being friends with? Nero. I know I yap on here but my wife can tell you that I'm a major introvert. I can help Nero with her databases
10. Which black clover character would you take with on vacation?
I would take Mimosa, Luck, Klaus, and Yuno to go get ice cream because Klaus is 18 and also my legal tax dependent
11. Your meeting with the Wizard King! What would you do? (ex. spam ask him for autographs, act with etiquette, etc)
Probably make an ass of myself dude 😭 I can't talk to people
12. Favorite ships? canon or fanon is fine
Oh my god.
Yaminacht, Magluck, Silvermantis, Finessa, Bunnyleona, Rumagluck, Fanamimo, Vannero, Kahonoelle, Kiatoleo, Neigeleo, Neigezora, Acielvani, Cielvani, Vanichar, Dororeve, Charesse/Briarmirrors, Patowill, Moripatowill (hello my unfathomably toxic yaoi), Luminero (platonic or romantic, they have an incredible relationship), Ginnichimari and all of its permutations, Ryusuga, Latrira, Rhylichtia, and
Fuegoleon
and
a human version of the Salamander
to name a few
13. Whos house/whatever-these-dudes-live-in/building would you want to cover with toilet paper?
Alecdora's because fuck that guy
14. Your on a public bus headed somewhere. You see multiple empty seats, but these seats are next to your favorite characters. Out of all your favorite characters, who do you choose to sit with and how would it go?
Magna. Luck would kick me and I think Magna would be fun to talk to lol
15. Do you have any OCs? if so, who is the best written one?
I have:
Bridget (human version of the Salamander) (he gets the gold star for being best written I think!!)
Antimonius "Tim" Kira (chaotic ass forbidden archives archivist, tricked Damnatio into signing a marriage certificate, I think they're funny)
Lavinia Fisher (she hasn't appeared much in my fic but I like her a lot too)
Iolanthe Pence-rose (lacks a fic. She's a piece of shit /pos)
Calathea Patience (shipped with my wife's oc Swan! :D)
a few others I think but I'm pretty casual in the way of OCs
THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH FOR ASKING THIS WAS SUPER FUN!!! I'd love to know your opinions on all of this stuff too :D
Black Clover AU where I’m right about everything. Mimosa a Deaf lesbian in the Blue Rose Knights. Charlotte is in a polycule with Vanessa and Grey. Sol has brown eyes. Kirsch gets a goth demon boyfriend. Ichika flies the lesbian flag high.
