I'm Axvie and my persona is a little ghost. I'm an artist, writer, and casual gamer. Usually draw my own creatures though I have been fixating on the mobile game Twisted Wonderland lately. Oh and feel free to suggest pokemon fusions to me to draw!

Reblogs are awesome, but I do appreciate likes as well!
I love cats, I'm a cis woman, I'm autistic, and I think I'm somewhere on the asexual spectrum. I think I'm heteromantic since I've only had crushes on dudes before, but I've never dated.
I have a list of my own characters that I would love to get prompts for, even if it's something silly like just saying hi or asking what they would be like in a certain game. It's quite fun to think of what they'd be like in other situations and how they may be like if they were born in these certain universes.
Sex tends to gross me out, so I won't be writing sex scenes. I may suggest something has happened, but I have no interest in writing such stuff. I will write relationship scenarios, but having not ever been in one, there's a chance it may sound off... so oof. I am open to criticism/correction about anything I get wrong about how people work or whatnot. I know there's quite a bit of stuff in the world that I do not understand, but I would like to understand.
summary: you had your struggles with understanding social cues, which the overblot boys challenge further as a sudden revelation brings to light their adoration of you.
pairings: overblots x gn! reader
cw: none that I can think of?
note: so this is based off of how I suck at reading social cues sometimes and I thought it would be cute to see how that would work with emotionally constipated characters š

Master List
ā„ Riddle Rosehearts
This was a nightmare for any Heartslabyul student. You, who had trouble with social cues, taking jokes too seriously and sarcasm sometimes flying over your head, vs Riddle Rosehearts who was in vehement denial of his feelings for you. It was like watching a terrible rom com for everyone around you two. When Riddle blushed around you, you chalked it up to him being nervous (he was trying to better himself, so being nervous about taking new actions only made sense). When Riddle felt his heart pounding whenever you were around, he swept it as nerves being around a friend without feeling the need to control everything. In fact, you both were so bad, everyone gave up on their initial bet, as they started to believe neither of you would catch on. It wasnāt until nudges from your friends finally opened your eyes to the others behavior.Ā
āRiddle always goes easy on you, itās not fair,ā Ace would whine, falling backwards on your couch.Ā
āNo he doesnāt?ā You frown, crossing your arms as you recalled the many lectures you have received from the red headed housewarden.Ā
āWhen was the last time he beheaded you?ā Deuce asked, genuinely curious.
āIām magicless,ā You raise an eyebrow. āIt would have no effect, so does it really matter?ā
āBut itās uncomfortable,ā Ace points out, jabbing a finger at your chest as the duo try to break through your inability to connect to seemingly simple dots. āYou think heād still gain some satisfaction from that.ā
You open your mouth to further plead your case, but you find yourself pausing, internally agreeing with Ace (not that youād tell him that). The last time you had been beheaded was around the overblot, and since then it was just scoldings and lectures.Ā
āAnd when your tie is crooked, he fixes it for you,ā Deuce chimes in.
āAnd when your hair is messy, he smooths it out,ā Ace tags along.
A dawning look of realization flashes across your face, and the duo eat it up. Finally, FINALLY you seem to notice that it does seem a bit unusual, that heās not being his usual intense self, nor does he dote on anyone else like that.
A similar situation goes on with Riddle, Trey and Cater pointing out Riddleās affection for you, but in more subtle ways.
āYou really care for them,ā Trey hums, mindlessly finishing his homework.Ā
Riddle pauses his talk of how his day was, unknowingly rambling about you, and how you shaped it. His face flushes, but he does not reprimand his friend (progress), instead he contemplates the meaning.Ā
āHaha, totes,ā Cater agrees, focusing more on his phone than the homework on his table. āItās cute how you both are so oblivious to each other.ā
Riddle feels his blood pressure rising, and heās unsure if itās because they are talking to him so casually about his feelings that he totally doesnāt have, or if itās because heās flustered at how they nailed it right on the head.
āDonāt be presumptuous,ā Riddle huffs, double checking his homework to make sure itās all accounted for and correct. āWe are good friends, nothing more and nothing less.ā
āYou double check their bag to make sure they have all their supplies accounted for,ā Trey mumbles mindlessly.
āAnd you donāt hesitate to give them something if they need it,ā Cater points out.
Riddleās face was bright as a tomato as he clears his throats and excuses himself to his room.
While everyone thinks they finally won, that the torment would finally end, and you both will realize each other's feelings and mushy happiness ensuesā¦it only got worse. Every interaction becomes a guessing game of what the otherās intentions are while trying to balance your own emotions, and the Heartslabyul students continue to suffer.
ā„ Leona Kingscholar
Oh boy, if Riddle and you are a nightmare for everyone around you, then Leona is your own personal nightmare. Every insult you took to heart, every swipe of his tail left you feeling like you did something wrong, and it got to the point that you tried to avoid the lion beastman altogether. You couldnāt annoy him if you werenāt around, right? Wrong. In fact, Ruggie had seeked you out because the prince was in a foul mood, and Ruggie swore it was due to your absence. You really couldnāt wrap your head around the hyenaās logic, as Leona had been nothing but indifferent, if not displeased when you were around.Ā
āHeās always like that,ā Ruggie waved you off, dragging you to the botanical gardens where the prince laid. You swore he was lying though, as Leonaās tail swished, ear twitching as you approached, and you felt way too overwhelmed. There was no way he wanted you nearby, you just couldnāt wrap your head around how he possibly likes your presence in any way possible. āHeās bad at showing affectionā Your inner Ruggie chimed, but you stood tensely anyways, unsure if you should stay or leave.Ā
āWhat are you doing?ā Leona grumbled, one green eye opening lazily. You felt his stare penetrate into your soul, you swore he was glaring you down for intruding in his space.Ā
āS-sorry,ā You nervously mumble, hand fidgeting with the hem of your sleeves. āRuggie dragged me in here saying you wantedā¦company? But clearly he was wrong, sorry again.ā You decided to try and bolt, hoping the apology would satisfy the lion enough to distract him from your escape, only for a hand to grab your ankle.Ā
Your heart beat erratically in your chest, head spinning as adrenaline fills your veins. You felt like you had just stepped into a horror movie called social anxiety and terrible life decisions (though being transported to some weird world was not your decision). Leonaās claws briefly imprinted on your skin as he dragged you closer, nearly causing you to fall.
āShut up,ā He tsked, hand not letting you go (like he knew you were two seconds away from running for dear life). āCāmere, ām tired and I donāt wanna deal with this right now.ā
You blinked, unsure where exactly he wanted you to go, body tense with stress and uncertainty, head swiveling, like youād surely find an escape somewhere. Instead of escape, perhaps hiding in your dorm room for the rest of the day to try and recuperate from this intense and scary experience, Leona seemed to have enough of your āobliviousnessā, reached up, grabbed your shirt, and quite literally drag your standing frame to fall onto his which was laying on the ground. You nearly screamed as you careened towards his chest, your breath nearly leaving your lungs as the lion cushioned your fall, arms wrapping around your back as he closed his eyes.Ā
You did not relax, if anything, your body turned into stone, holding your breath as you wondered who you pissed off in your past life to deal with this. You mustāve killed someone quite important.Ā
āRelax,ā Leona sighed, his warm breath caressing your ear. āāM not gonna biteā¦unless you want me to.ā You did not relax for several more minutes, not until his breathing evened out and you were sure he was unconscious. You laid there, bones feeling like jelly as the adrenaline wore off, mind reeling with what the hell was currently happening.
Leonaās mixed signals were quite literally your worst enemy in a world of magic, constant overblots, and a neglectful headmaster. You were never sure if the lion hated your guts, or if he secretly liked you? Leona hated how you couldnāt decipher his near impossible signs, wishing you could read his mind, not wanting to ruin his āimageā in front of his dorm members. The only one having any hoot or holler would be Ruggie as you both awkwardly navigated around the other. Ironically, you both did fill the role of predator and prey perfectly.
ā„ Azul Ashengrotto
Ohhhhhhh boy. Azul absolutely has a hate love relationship with your inability to pick up on certain social cues. Some moments, you could read the room well, tell when someone was upset, or sad, or even so happy they were crying, other moments he wanted to slam his head against the wall as you took all his words to heart, even if he was trying to flirt or make a stupid joke. The twins made the situation ten times worse as they liked to mess with you.
āAzul mentioned that heās quite tired today,ā Jade would hum innocently, fixing you a drink at the bar.
āOh, did something happen?ā You would ask, falling straight for the bait Jade laid out perfectly.
āYou could say so,ā Jadeās grin widened, mischief and amusement swirling in his gaze. āSaid you kept him up all night.ā
Your brows furrow, unsure what the eel meant. You hadnāt texted (especially not called) anyone last night, too exhausted with all the socializing you had been doing and had some unwind time. So youāre not sure what you had done to keep the merman up the previous night.
āDid I do something?ā You asked, genuinely concerned if you had made a mistake. Perhaps you had done something offensive in their culture? Or insulted him unknowingly? (You werenāt proud to admit that you had done that before).Ā
Instead of being helpful, kind, or friendly (things Jade were not known for), he merely shrugged, pushing you a drink and moving on to the next customer, an extra shine of glee in his eyes at your misery.Ā
Floyd wasnāt much better.Ā
āCan you both just get together already?ā Floyd whined, slumping in his seat across from you as you tried to focus on homework. Of course he ruined that.
āWhat?ā You questioned, eyebrows furrowing in confusion. āWhat are you talking about?ā
āYou and Azul, duh,ā He rolled his eyes like it was the most obvious thing. You merely blinked, trying to connect whatever dots that Floyd just created.
āWhy would we be together?ā You ask, dropping your pencil, completely forgetting the frustrating work that was assigned (itās not like you had the context to answer it anyways). āYou mean like dating?ā
āDUH,ā He groaned, like this was physically paining him. āWhat else? You both clearly like each other, just kiss and get over it already.ā It felt like your face was on fire as you tried to process whatever the hell he was spewing.
It honestly left you confused. You thought Azul was just being nice, a friend trying to make up for his transgressions against you and your friends (and sometimes you questioned his intentions as he had conned you before). Sure, sometimes he would say something that would fluster you, a compliment here, a light touch to your shoulder there (even you knew that was out of character for the reserved business man), but the twins had opened your mind to a whole other venture you hadnāt even thought about.
Azul noticed a change, not obvious, but you seemed to finally be taking in his advances. Your eyes would widen, like the dots were finally appearing in your head, sometimes it even seemed like you were looking at him in a new light altogether (cus you kind of wereā¦). His fond frustration melted into excitement. Finally, what felt like stagnation started to gain traction, and it even emboldened him to up his moves, to make sure you couldnāt question his intentions. After all, if you struggled understanding what his gestures meant, then that meant he had to make sure that his intentions were obvious (maybe just communicate your feelings properlyā¦).
ā„ Jamil Viper
Hahahaā¦so Jamil is kind of the embodiment of subtle care, especially when he refuses to acknowledge his own feelings. At first itās in ways you donāt notice. How his eyes trail after you, making sure youāre okay. The way he eyes your meals, always cataloging how unhealthy they are, noting how you shiver during a chilly day only in a short sleeve shirt, or how you always seem exhausted even if you got a full night's sleep (which can be rare with the aduo around).Ā
Jamil tries to shove these mental notes to the side. Itās not like he has the time to take care of anyone else with Kalim running around, you are your own person after all. Yet he strangely found himself with an extra portion of the lunch he prepared, shoving it towards you without thought (too much thought actually), or how he shrugs of his sweater (his safe space really), and tosses it towards you as the chill seeps into him instead, or how he picks up any slack, talking to your friends when you couldnāt keep up, or walking you to your dorm early as he makes up excuses to get you in the comfort of your own place.Ā
At first you didnāt notice, thinking he was being kind, or perhaps even feeling forced to because Kalim asked him to, but that changed when he excused you from Kalimās party. The people surrounding you had you feeling like a zombie as you tried to hide in a corner, eating some snacks as you held a drink, hoping the walls would encapsulate you. Kalim had begged you to come, which was why you were there, but it ended up just like you expected. Jamil noticed, as he always does, and offered to walk you back to your dorm, a routine you started to expect. Of course, Kalim had blocked your escape, a pout with big watery eyes tugging on your heartstrings. Before you could give in, zone out for another hour and ponder why you hate yourself, Jamil cut in.
āThe prefect is tired,ā Jamil points out, and you wonder if itās that obvious.Ā
After this moment, you began to notice the subtleties. Perhaps not all at once, but even you couldnāt deny how Jamil didnāt treat anyone else the way he treated you. You werenāt sure if it was anything beyond friendly, but you noticed that he seemed to care for you in a way that he didnāt for anyone else, and it was something you cherished. In fact, you both fell into a weirdly domestic relationship that never dared to press against the walls of friendshipā¦that was until Jamil himself slipped up (something he never does, mind youā¦he is quite whipped).Ā
āYouāre way too kind to me,ā You couldnāt help but grumble as you accepted the week's worth of breakfast and dinners Jamil had prepared for you (you were quite bad at making those).Ā
āItās nothing,ā The vice-housewarden waved off, a faint blush coating his tan cheeks.Ā
āSeriously,ā You donāt drop it, too moved by his kindness towards you. āNo one has ever done anything like this for me before, you always make sure to make meals with textures I like, altering things to avoid foods I donāt like, and not to mention how you portion them to my exact liking! I feel like I donāt do enough to make up for all the work you put into me.ā
Jamilās brows furrowed, both bashful at your acknowledgement of his work, while also upset at your self admonishment.
āYou donāt have to do anything,ā Jamil shakes his head. āI do it because I want to. Trust me, Iād go crazy if I didnāt do this, who knows what youād be eating otherwise.ā
Your heart stuttered at his admission, the revelation of how deep his care ran for you striking you somewhere soft and gooey. It was only then when the question of whether Jamil liked you romantically dared to breach your brain.
ā„ Vil Schoenheit
Vil wasnāt one to coddle anyone, not that you needed coddling, but this meant that his standoffish attitude would not be diluted. Vil isnāt nearly as bad as Leona, but his actions still managed to confuse you. You thought he wanted nothing to do with you, a notion you could understand. You could be reserved most times, quiet, almost like a shadow. The complete opposite of glitz and glam that was Vil Schoenheitā¦yet that seems to pull him in all the more. He would critique your uniform, comment on how it was too big in some place, yet somehow too small in others. In fact, you thought he was lowkey bullying you at first, always picking you apart, making you feel small and unwantedā¦only to piece you back together.
Heād personally tailor your uniform, grumbling about how āyou canāt trust anyone to do things right these daysā. Heād fix your hairstyle, explaining how the few trims, or complete makeover fits your face better, how the framing of a few pieces can make or break your beauty. Beneath the harshness, you learned to decipher that this was his way of caring (even if it could be quite shitty sometimes). And to say Vil didnāt notice how his comments hit you would be an insult to his social training. Of course he noticed the way you seemed to shut down after a particularly harsh comment from him, which made him shift tactics.
Instead of scolding you, or pointing out something he deemed atrocious, he merely fixed it instead, and you let him. You didnāt have time to get dressed properly? Itās fine, heās fixing the wrinkles and crookedness for you. You didnāt style your hair properly? Thereās a few minutes to spare before class, heās dragging you to the nearest mirror as he styles it himself. You didnāt pack a proper lunch? Donāt worry, prefect, he happened to bring extra.Ā
At first youāre not sure how to take in the change. You feel like itās some elaborate prank show, the cameras hiding in the corners (there arenāt any, but Rook sure is). Yet the longer this behavior goes on, you learn to accept it, and you even like it (which you find oddly strange yourself). You hadnāt been cared for like this before, and especially not in this world, so you found yourself eating up the affection.
āThe love that blooms between Roi du Poison and Trickster is magnifique!ā Rook bellows, hand clutched over his heart as he dramatically swoons.Ā
You had grown used to his exclamations of passion and love, so you simply deadpan at the hunter.
āWhat are you even talking about?ā You question, face scrunching at his claims.Ā
It was quite comical actually, as Vil was currently applying a brand new lotion he had helped create himself to your arms, and you had the audacity to be confused (I would be too though so I canāt rag on the reader too much).Ā
āIgnore him,ā Vil mumbles, focused intensely on how your skin was much softer with his care and how he was going to keep it that way. āHe likes to spout nonsense all the time.ā
āBut is it nonsense when the Queen deems the Trickster important enough to care for himself?ā Rook asks, head tilting as his grin widens. āI have not seen you spoil anyone so, Roi du Poison.ā
Vilās face flattens, his usual humoring of Rook evaporating quickly (he didnāt want to be ratted out like this). Yet it was too late, as your mouth opened in recognition of Rookās words. He had a point, you had seen Epel get scolded mercilessly and then forced into punishment many times by Vil, yet if you do something similar, you get a light slap on the wrist before he drags you along, your punishment usually pertaining him taking care of you in one way or another. You werenāt sure why it didnāt click before, but now you couldnāt help but second guess all of Vilās intentions, and what that means for your future.
ā„ Idia Shroud
Idia wasā¦hard to get to know. You tried being friendly, yet he would shut you out. You tried to invite him out, but he would deflect. You tried parallel play, yet you couldnāt help but notice how he glanced at you like you were a starved tiger and he was the closest meal available. Bummed that you werenāt getting anywhere, you also didnāt want to make the blue-flammed hair man uncomfortable, which meant leaving him alone. It saddened you, but you knew you couldnāt make friends with everyone.
Little did you know, you had it completely backwards. Idia was drawn to you like a moth to a flame. You were similar to him in a way, which made him rethink his entire life. You tended to be quiet, speaking when you were spoken to and falling into the shadows, yet you werenāt like him at all. You had friends, you smiled and talked freely about topics you were passionate about, and even stood up when needed.Ā
Yet, worst of allā¦you were terrible at some social cues. He even found it amusing at times, cackling when you took a joke at face value or when you looked confused when someone said something sarcastically, only to get it a few seconds too late. You didnāt know this, of course. He rarely left his room, and he found himself stalking Grim more often than he could count, which meant you were there too.Ā
If it were up to him, you would never know, and things would stay exactly as they were. Him in his room alone and you none the wiser to his stalking, yearning, observations. Of course, his dear little brother would never leave it at that, taking in his brotherās infatuation, liking towards you. Which leads to a various amount of goofy, yet terrifying situations. Such as Ortho inviting you to his room without him knowing, and making the most unsevenly sound ever when he got jumpscared by you. Or how he almost bolted the second he saw you at the board gameās club, only for Ortho to block his exit (he nearly jumped out the window at your smile).Ā
And gosh, he couldnāt get over how oblivious you could be sometimes, your comments making him feel like a warm, gooey mess, and you were completely unaffected! It really wasnāt fair. You made it look so easy, and he wishes he could complement you as easily (little did he know, you struggled with it as well, you were just better at hiding it).Ā
āYou have really cool hair,ā You compliment, eyes wide with wonder.Ā
Idia could only stare, hair tinting pink along with his pale cheeks as he internally shut down.Ā
āSorry, was that weird?ā You ask as Idia continues to stare at you with the blankest eyes known to man, causing you to second guess yourself. Was that weird of you to say? Perhaps you werenāt supposed to mention his hair at all? Did you make him self conscious?
āN-not at all,ā Was all he could stutter, eyes averting to anything but you.
It wasnāt until Idia started to text you that you realized you had things backwards. Sure, in person you both were awkward and unsure, perpetually questioning all your actions, while online things flowed more smoothly. Sure, you would take a few minutes, up to a few hours to respond, but Idia was busy with his games anyways, so he didnāt mind (sometimes he did, but he would do the same thing so he understood). He also talked more freely, rambling about his passions and eager for your approval. It wasnāt till one fatal text, that you realized he may have liked you more than just a friend.
Ugh, you canāt be srs
Ur lit too cute for this world
He deleted it as quickly as he sent it, but it was too late. You were already spiraling.
ā„ Malleus Draconia
Ha. Hahahahaha. So, take the āyou donāt know youāre betrothedā trope, and multiply it by 10. Jkā¦kinda. So in reality, you both are kind of bad at social cues. Itās mutual. You both are quite slow to unravel any feelings. In fact, you both bond at how similar your social experiences are. Both used to people tuning out your passionate rants about the topics you loved, so you learned to keep it to yourself (until you met each other). Or how you both can be awkward in social situations, unsure what to say at certain moments and look towards the other for reassurance.Ā
In fact, this was what caused Malleus to cherish you so. Not only were you patient and understanding, but you understood, to a certain degree. It caused the dragon to latch onto you, wishing to show you his gratitude for your friendship. You were in a similar boat. If you were exhausted from existing in the world, you knew Malleus would bring you somewhere quiet, somewhere no one could reach you if you did not wish. He would do things for you that you werenāt used to, and cared for you in ways that warmed you. After feeling alienated, Malleus was a person who showed you you werenāt alone.Ā
Due to it being a relationship you both feared to lose, neither of you thought of anything more. Why should you question something that worked so well? Something that neither of you had to think twice about? Something that came as easily as breathing?Ā
āAnother gift?ā Lilia chimes, hanging in front of Malleus upside down, amused grin tugging on his lips.Ā
āThey mentioned wanting this,ā Malleus replies, like the thought of you wanting something was irrevocably wrong, and he himself will fix it.Ā
āIf I didnāt know better, Iād think youāre courting them,ā The bat fae hummed, eyes crinkling with joy. Malleus blinked, brain working overtime, because Lilia had a point. Malleusā love for you was as deep as a never ending void, he would do anything in his power to make you happy, and all he wanted in return was your smile aimed towards him (though he also finds your bashfulness adorable).Ā
It was then that Malleus went from friendship mode, to courting mode. You, on the other hand, were completely unaware. I mean why should you have thought differently? He treated you no differently than before, it was only his intentions that switched. Of course, this only amused Lilia all the more, after all, who doesnāt love to watch young love bloom? (Sebek)
āAt this rate, youāre gonna become fae royalty,ā Ace grumbles, eyeing yet another gift that appeared in your dorm.Ā
āHow in the world would I do that?ā You asked, genuinely confused. Malleus was one of your closest friends, sure, but in order to become royalty that would mean marrying him, and you doubt the dragon fae saw you in such a light.
āYouāre basically drowning in jewels!ā Ace exclaims, pointing out the jewelry that adorned you. Your face flushes at the implication, and the creeping dread of the possibility of Ace having a point.
āMal said he had extraā¦ā Even your defence sounds pathetic.Ā
āYou even have nicknames for each other,ā Deuce points out.
āI have nicknames for you too,ā You glare. āDumb and dumber.ā
Your deflection does nothing as the two continue to tease you relentlessly for how unaware you were about something so āobviousā (it really wasnāt but okay). The next time Malleus treats you to something, whether it be a fancy dish catered to your liking, an outing you mentioned you wanted to do, or another āsmallā gift he just stumbled upon, you canāt help but notice the hearts in his eyes as he awaits your reaction, and itās only then do you realize youāre doomed.
Prompt: 'How Protective Are They? Continuation! -- Jade Leech, Rook Hunt, Lilia Vanrouge, and Jamil Viper
Requisitioner: Rin!
Warnings: None!
Words: 4022! (Purchase: Custom Fiction.)
A/N: Hello everyone! We've got another commission to be shared, requested over on my ko-fi! This one comes to you by the sponsor 'Rin!' -- Way back in the day, I wrote a fic detailing the TWST housewardens on a protectiveness scale in regards to their s/o. Rin asked me to bring that prompt back to surface and write for four characters of their choosing. Ah...I remember when I made that first post. I was reading the comments in the back of my calc II lecture and surely not thinking about solving proofs. Good times.

Jade LeechĀ
9/10Ā
Jade is often considered the more āreasonableā Leech. That is the first mistake people always make. They assume that because he smiles politely and speaks with indoor manners that he is somehow the āsaferā twin. More approachable. Lessā¦ah, driven to extremes.Ā
Incorrect. Catastrophically incorrect. Need we be reminded that as youth, Jade was the more difficult son for his parents to handle.Ā
You see, he is rather the possessive sort in a sense that by the time you realize how serious the situation has become, itās already too late.Ā
One day you realize he has memorized your class schedule. The next? He is silently appearing beside you before you even noticed someone else was there to be a bother. It is genuinely unsettling how quickly he materializes whenever you are uncomfortable. Sometimes before you realize the feeling is about to settle in.Ā
You carry a shadow that is towering, one that swamps your own in broad daylight.Ā
Physically, Jade is not clingy in the traditional sense. He is not hanging off your shoulder or demanding affection in public. In fact, he is oddly respectful of your spaceā¦which somehow makes him more overbearing? He simply has eyes in the walls. You grow accustomed to the sense of being watched over with time, as he is worse than a helicopter mom at disney world.Ā Ā
A hand on the small of your back while walking through crowds. Casually steering you away from danger like you are a shopping cart with a broken wheel. If someone becomes too loud or aggressive near you, Jade inserts himself into the situation before you can speak.Ā
And seven help the sad sack who touches you without permission.Ā
Jade does not explode like Floyd or bark threats like Leona. No. He politely dismantles people with a shark-took grin. One warning is spoken with that overly pleasant customer service voice and suddenly the entire room feels humid.Ā
āOh dear. Iām afraid you seem to have mistaken my partner for someone interested in your attention. How embarrassing for you.āĀ
People at Mostro Lounge learn very quickly that your name is not one to use carelessly in conversation, unless they want Jadeās attention - and trust me, that is not a fun prize. Gossip in his domain? Unless he thinks it is relatively harmless and might yield a cute reaction from youā¦nuh-uh-uh.Ā
Jade understands social warfare better than nearly anyone at NRC. He knows secrets. Everybody has secrets. Azul collects contracts but Jade collects information, and if someone threatens your reputation? Congratulations. They have just volunteered for psychological warfare against a man who enjoys sampling poisonous mushrooms in his free time. Very Mao-Mao from āApothecary Diariesā core.Ā
If someone DOES spread rumors about you? They tend to disappear before they gain traction. It is almost magical. One moment there is gossip circulating around NRC and the next the students involved are apologizing to you with sweat dripping down their backs while Jade stands nearby smiling like a proud parent at a piano recital.Ā
You never find out what he did to make it happen. Snitches get stitches, you can ask whomever you like. No one is about to get on a Leechās bad side. Especially anyone from the Coral Seaā¦they like having their gills intact, thank you very much.Ā
In factā¦your social circle seems to thin out. No one youād miss, certainly. Anyone worth keeping around is already known by you before Jadeās fancy was stuck, after all. He just has a āqualityā that keeps bottom feeders away.Ā
Jade is significantly more possessive than he pretends to be. He acts amused when people flirt with you. Smiles. Tilt his head. Youād think him entirely unbothered, if not for the slight twitch of his lower eyelid.Ā
Meanwhile heās mentally ranking the best burial locations on his usual mountain trails. He wonāt do it. Justā¦let him tinker. He can only tolerate so much audacity from these people after all.Ā
Unlike Floydās explosive jealousy, Jadeās comes in the form of increased politeness. Thatās how you know he is upset. The sweeter he sounds, the worse the situation is. If someone is heavily flirting with you, Jade becomes attached to your side for the rest of the day. He wonāt intrude unless you explicitly ask ā discounting the times youāre unaware of his presence ā but he does expect you to shrug the plebs off. Make an effort or his ire might have you backed up against a wall later that night.Ā
Make no comment when he casually mentions your relationship status every three sentences either. Subtly, as he watches the offender making a move on you crumple like the trash they are and evaporate from his sight.
Yetā¦if it continues beyond flirtations? If someone dares to make a vulgar comment at you?
His terrariums gain new fertilizer.Ā
No, because seriously. There is no situation where heād let any sort of objectification or crude remark slide. Not interesting. Not funny. The only tolerable admiration is watching bottomfeeders deflate as they realize heās already got the best pickings of the land. He can and will cut their tongues out.Ā
āMy, what a vulgar thing to say. I do hope for your sake that you simply misspokeā¦though judging by your expression, I suspect not. How unfortunate. Shall we continue this conversation somewhere private? People do become rather forgetful when they are trying to impress someone who is already spoken for, donāt they? āĀ
Jamil ViperĀ
7/10
Jamil does not WANT to be protective.
That is important to understand first and foremost.Ā
He already has enough responsibilities. Enough people depending on him. Enough stress. The last thing he needs is another person to worry over and yet somehowā¦there you are. Sitting comfortably in the center of his thoughts like you pay rent there. Mm.Ā
Annoying.
Very annoying.
Heās a bit of his own worst nightmare. Jamil finds a partner who is competent insanely attractive. Nothing gets him going like a show of powerā¦but his brain doesnāt have an āoffā switch. So he naturally tries to take charge in most situations and has a terrible time letting his guard down.Ā
Because now he has to think about things like whether you ate today. Whether you got enough sleep. Whether Ace and Grim dragged you into another near death experience. He catches himself scanning crowds for your face automatically and gets irritated every single time he realizes he is doing it.
Just his luck that heās fallen for the person with the self-preservation skills of a mosquitoā¦ha..haha..hahaha.
Physically, Jamil is surprisingly attentive. Not overbearing, but hyperaware. He notices exhaustion before you say anything. Notices when your social battery dies. Notices when you are forcing yourself to smile through discomfort. Heās used to reading people.Ā
He is the type to silently pull you away from overwhelming situations under the guise of something casual.
āCome help me with this for a second.ā
Suddenly you are outside getting fresh air while he pretends to sweep the outer courtyard. .
Jamil is not loud about protecting you because loud attention is dangerous in his mind. He prefers subtle control over situations. Strategic positioning. Standing between you and someone sketchy without making a scene. Steering conversations away from topics that upset you. Making sure you get back to Ramshackle safely even if he acts like it is an inconvenience.
And yes. He absolutely keeps track of where you are. Give him your phone so he can add you to Life360. Just do it.Ā
Not in a creepy way. In a āif something happens to you I will have a stress-induced migraineā way. He gets pissed when Grim takes your phone though. The headmaster seriously has you both sharing one? Justā¦look, take his old one. Donāt tell Kalim either. Heāll 100%% get you the newest model with an unlimited data plan, but Jamil isnāt about to have someone else doing what he can do for you just fine. Especially Kalim.
He especially hates when you wander around NRC late at night alone. This school has entirely too many weirdos, overblot incidents, and students with magical superiority complexes. The moment he finds out you went somewhere dangerous by yourself he is giving you āThat Lookā.
You know the one.
Socially, Jamil is vicious in the pettiest ways possible.
He does not have the authority of someone like Riddle nor the intimidation factor of Leona, so instead he weaponizes competence. If someone is rude to you publicly? Congratulations. Jamil is about to make them look stupid in front of everyone.
Not directly, of course. That would be messy.
But suddenly they are fumbling their words during class presentations because Jamil āhelpfullyā pointed out inconsistencies in their work. Suddenly they are losing arguments they thought they could win. Suddenly every flaw they have becomes painfully obvious because Jamil knows exactly how to press people until they crack.
He has years of experience surviving court politics. Some random teenager is light work.
The thing is, Jamil gets especially protective over your image because he understands what it feels like to have people make assumptions about you. So rumors? Harassment? People trying to paint you negatively? Heā¦is guilty of doing that to others.Ā
So he is able to detect the early signs of someone scheming. No oneās ripping at your confidence. Heāll end them.
Not only because he cares about you, but because he genuinely cannot stand unfairness directed toward someone he loves. You become one of the very few people he allows himself to prioritize emotionally and he takes that seriously.
Now jealousy?
ā¦Yeah. Yeah Jamil has issues.
Not outwardly at first. He tries SO hard to play it cool. He tells himself he is being irrational. That you can handle yourself. That he trusts you.
Then he sees someone flirting with you too comfortably and suddenly his eye is twitching.
Jamilās jealousy manifests through hovering and passive aggression. He starts inserting himself into conversations uninvited. Interrupting. Pulling you away under flimsy excuses. Offering to do things for you before someone else can. Oh, he is burning. That ego he tries to keep under a tarp is coming out at full force.Ā
And the sass?
Unmatched.
āOh? You suddenly developed interest in my partner after ignoring them for months? What a fascinating coincidenceā¦sorry, whatās your name again?ā
The worst part is that Jamil absolutely notices when people are attracted to you before they even realize it themselves. One lingering glance and he is already annoyed.
He also DESPISES overly touchy people around you. No one gets a pass. Kalim really pisses him off, but he has to bite it down. At least thereās the comfort of knowing itās strictly platonic but still.Ā
Your little first-year group? He has so much beef with Ace it isnāt funny. That ******* knows exactly what heās doing whenever he slings an arm over your shoulder. Floyd? Every basketball practice is one where Jamil is tempted to spike the ball at the back of his head. He tolerates Grim, knowing that the menace is going to be there until the day you both die.Ā
And if someone thinks to pass a vulgar comment? A cat-call? Mm. Patience isnāt always a virtue.Ā
Jamilās entire expression flattens like someone turned his emotions off manually. He gets cold in a way that makes people instinctively backpedal. Unlike some of the others, he is less likely to threaten violence and more likely to verbally flay someone alive with frightening precision.
He knows exactly what insecurities to target too. Doesnāt matter who it is. He can pick them apart in a few short moments.Ā
āYou know, confidence is attractive in moderation. Unfortunately for you, this is just embarrassing.ā
Rook Hunt
8.5/10
Dating Rook is like accidentally befriending a very affectionate cryptid.
One day you are minding your business and the next you hear rustling in the trees followed by an enthusiastic Frenchman praising the way sunlight reflects off your hair. There is no such thing as privacy anymore. Not because Rook wishes to control you, but because he genuinely enjoys your existence so much that he cannot help orbiting around you constantly.
He is EVERYWHERE.
The scary thing? Half the time you do not even notice him until he speaks.
āAh! Trickster! The way you leap away in surprise reminds me of a startled doe. Magnifique!ā
Cardiac arrest. Immediate cardiac arrest. He ceases for the rest of the day but then is right back at it the next.Ā
At first his protectiveness does not even register because Rook treats everything with fascination. He watches everyone. Compliments everyone. Appears out of nowhere for everyone. So naturally, you assume his attention toward you is just part of his personality.
Then you realize he has been tailing you across campus for three hours because you mentioned feeling unsafe walking alone after dark.
Romantic.
Terrifying, but romantic.
This man has the instincts of a hunting dog and the perception of a military drone.
You are never unsafe around him.
Ever.
Physically, Rook is actually extremely protective. Far more than people expect. Underneath all the theatrics and poetry is someone with terrifying awareness of his surroundings. Rook notices danger instantly. The shift in someoneās body language. A suspicious movement in the crowd. The subtle signs someone intends harm.
A student reaching for their pen? He sees it. Someone following you through the halls? Already aware. Suspicious noises outside Ramshackle at night? He is perched somewhere nearby like a Victorian gargoyle with a bow in hand. Sorry Malleus. This one is not fit for your club to studyā¦unless?
Ahem. You genuinely cannot sneak up on this man.
And because of that? Nobody sneaks up on you either.
The issue is that Rook treats protecting you like an act of devotion. He enjoys it. Not in a creepy controlling way but in a āthe hunter safeguards what he treasures mostā way.Ā
And unlike some of the others, Rook is willing to get physical FAST if he thinks you are genuinely threatened. People forget that beneath the dramatic monologues and layers of concealer is a man who hunts for fun.
For FUN.
One second someone is getting too aggressive with you. The next Rook is suddenly behind them smiling with their wrist pinned up against their back.
The thing about Rook is that he rarely āsounds threatening. Which somehow makes him infinitely worse. He says horrifying things with the same tone someone would use to compliment flowers.
And LORD help the poor soul that genuinely hurts you somehow.
Rook becomes the physical manifestation of āI know where you live.āĀ
His little āOo la la~ā pitch that carries in the wind like fallen leaves suddenly turns into Krampus incarnate. Deep, guttural, and spoken directly into the perpetratorās ear with a promise for something much worse than a beating with a straw broom and some coal in their stocking.Ā
āAha. No. We are not looking at mon coheur in such a manner. You may apologize now, or I will be forced to consider alternative persuasion. Un, deux, toi āāĀ
Socially, Rook is extreamly supportive rather than controlling. He absolutely hypes you up constantly. Shamelesslyā¦.itās very much the āWear whatever you want, my darling. I know how to fightā dynamic amped to maximum overdrive.Ā
He will praise you in front of literally anyone with zero shame. Your intelligence, your beauty, your habits, the way your eyes crinkle when you laughānothing is safe from his admiration. At first people think it is exaggeration because surely no one can speak this poetically about their partner twenty-four hours a day.
No. He means every word.
The issue is that this also means he becomes deeply offended when others speak poorly of you. Rook values beauty in all forms and to insult someone he treasures? Mon dieu. The audacity.
Rook does not argue normally. He psychoanalyzes people like he is peeling an orange. Someone makes fun of you once and suddenly Rook is smiling thoughtfully while pointing out all the hidden insecurities fueling their behavior.
In front of everyone.
āOh? Such cruelty toward someone so radiantā¦could it be envy, perhaps? How unfortunate. To possess eyes capable of witnessing beauty and yet remain unable to appreciate it.ā
Murder. Actual murder.
And because Rook is naturally charismatic, people listen to him. He can spin social situations terrifyingly fast. One minute someone is mocking you and the next they are being publicly pitied by half the room while Rook comforts you dramatically like the star actor of a tragedy play.
But jealousy? Hah! Listen.Ā
Rook is a strange creature because he simultaneously understands why people are attracted to you while also wanting to put them in the ground for acting on it.
He appreciates beauty. Of course others admire you! How could they not? To him your existence is practically artwork.
So when others pursue you, he does not see them as something to dismiss. No. No. He will acknowledge their challengeā¦and you will find no one more competitive. He wants to win.Ā
Which means the flirting somehow becomes worse. He is a peacock spreading its feathers while aiming a shotgun with its beak.Ā
You think one person complimenting you is bad? Congratulations. Rook is now reciting poetry while kissing your hand in front of them with enough intensity to make bystanders uncomfortable.
He becomes unbelievably touchy too. Draping himself over your shoulders. Holding your waist. Tilting your chin toward him while maintaining eye contact with whoever dared flirt with you. If they want you, then theyāll have to offer you better than what he can provide. Which is impossible, because Rook spares no effort in ensuring you have everything you could ever want.Ā
And if someone says something vulgar about you?Ā
ā¦they have a ten second head start.Ā
Rook does not mind admiration, he encourages all beauty to be appreciated, but crude lust disgusts him. In his eyes it reduces something precious into something cheap and tawdry. He takes it personally, like someone smeared mud over a painting.Ā
He merely teases the brim of his hat, ducks his chin low, and fixes the offender with sharp eyes and the terrifying realization that this man could absolutely hit a bullseye through their skull from fifty yards away.
āYou speak of them so carelesslyā¦how terribly sad. To witness something so precious and reduce it to vulgarity. I highly suggest you choose your next words with greater care, monsieur. ā
Lilia Vanrouge
6.5/10
At first glance, Lilia does not seem protective at all.
If anything, he encourages chaos.
Go explore dangerous places! Fight strong opponents! Experience life! Make reckless memories! Half the time it feels like he is actively encouraging your bad decisions while Sebek is somewhere nearby having a stress-induced aneurysm over it.
Lilia is not controlling. Not even remotely. Rather than stop you from pursuing danger, heās walking into it at your side.Ā
He does not hover over your shoulder monitoring who you speak to or where you go. He will not cage you up āfor your safetyā because frankly? That sounds dreadfully boring to him. Lilia fell in love with YOU. Your spirit. Your freedom. Your ability to live fully despite fear.
Why would he take that away?
No, if you are with Lilia then you are expected to spread your wings and enjoy life to its fullest. He wants stories. Excitement. Late night walks, spontaneous adventures, troublemaking, dancing on rooftops because āthe moon looks lovely tonight.ā
He treats love like something alive. Something meant to grow unrestrained instead of being locked away. Heās waited seven-hundred years for this chance and will not waste a second of it.Ā
Which honestly makes people underestimate him terribly.
Because while Lilia is not overprotective in everyday situationsā¦
He IS an elder fae. Even those of lower status are raised not to take matters of the heart lightly. Your soul is an extension of his own.Ā
The man could probably locate you in a foreign country with nothing but a vague description and a prayer. You will be halfway across campus thinking you're alone only to hear his voice from a tree branch.
"My, my. Fancy seeing you here."
He truly is an extension of your person now. While not tethered for centuries, he is quite fond of being a phantom limb of yours.Ā
Which becomes obvious the moment someone truly threatens you. He does not mince his words or offer mercy to those who threaten his family. Kingscholar was very fortunate to be spared after targeting Malleus during the spelldrive tournament during your first year in wonderland. Remember how brutal Liliaās words struck.Ā
There is a massive difference between Lilia finding your recklessness amusing and someone else harming you intentionally. One earns laughter. The other earns silence.
And silence from Lilia Vanrouge is one of the most terrifying things a person can experience.
Because Lilia does not posture.
He does not threaten.
He does not growl warnings or puff out his chest.
He simply decides that someone is dangerous.
Then acts accordingly.
People often forget that beneath the jokes, the gaming addiction, and the culinary war crimes is a former general. A man who spent hundreds of years protecting a royal family through actual conflict. Lilia has survived war. Buried friends. He knows exactly how far he is willing to go for the people he loves.Ā
Which is as far as his body can take him. Lilia would die for you without hesitation.Ā
Not in the romanticized āIād take a bullet for youā way either. In the very literal, non-negotiable sense that he has already accepted the possibility long ago. Loyalty is woven into Lilia so deeply that protecting his loved ones is practically instinctual.Ā
Which is why anyone who thinks otherwise, dares to even tinker with the thought of harming you, is scheduling an audience with General Vanrouge.Ā
Socially, Lilia is surprisingly relaxed. He has lived too long to care about petty gossip (although he does enjoy hearing it). Rumors roll off him like water because honestly? Most students at NRC are children to him mentally. Why would he value their opinions over yours?
That being said, he DOES care if the rumors genuinely hurt you.
Not because your reputation reflects on him, but because he cannot stand seeing someone he loves feel isolated or targeted. Lilia knows what loneliness feels like better than most people ever will. He still will not intervene though, not beyond offering a distraction to make you smile.Ā
Honestly? He finds caring about that sort of thing silly. With time youāll understand and think the same, of that heās certain.Ā
If someone dislikes you, they dislike you.
If someone talks badly about you, then they are showing their own character.
Most of the time he laughs it off. "Mhmm. Are they finished? Goodness, they seem to think about you more than I do."
Now jealousy?
Pshh. Manageable. A dime in a dozen.Ā
Lilia feels secure in your relationship. He does not panic over every passing flirtation because he trusts you and frankly finds some situations funny. Watching younger students awkwardly attempt to woo you while he sits nearby smiling into his tea is genuinely entertaining to him.
He especially enjoys making them nervous. āOh? Trying to court my darling? My my, how brave~ā
Although he is not against blipping in if harmless flirtations progress to crude vulgarity or a breach of boundaries. Which is unfortunately common with youth that possess egos with more concentrated power than the sun. The moment someone dares to say something genuinely degrading about your person, he eases in with the air of someone far superior and reminds the offender to view a specific chapter in their history textbook. He normally isnāt fond of his pictures in those books, but surely they have their uses.Ā
āTsk, what an ugly thing to say. Careful nowā¦there are far crueler creatures in this world than me, child. You ought to learn some manners before you meet one.āĀ
I have heard mention of Ai being used in spellchecks and I wonder if that's happened to Word as sometimes the changes it asks me to do don't make much sense. Though usually I can kind of see where it's getting confused and it's just not following what I'm writing.
This so far is the worst I've seen it where I just had to take a screenshot because I'm so lost on where it came up with this. I thought the spellchecker usually reads the entire sentence to know where grammer may need to be adjusted, but how is that a sentence if I replace the word "bad" with "bidding"?
"Is it so bidding for me to indulge the people I care about?" I don't understand. I suppose with how it highlights it that I can see how it thinks a verb would work better?? Is it thinking the word "bad" is a verb here??
I thought that if you put two miis as partners for how theyāre related, that it would make them crush over each other and help push a romantic relationship.
Apparently not as the two have no interest in each other. (To make things easier, I shall refer to the couple as mii A and mii B.) Mii C, twin of mii B, fell instantly in love with mii A.
These are miis based off of ocs where Iāve only considered the option of mii C falling for mii A to be an au where mii B dies. So, uhhh, I hope things donāt go bad between mii B and mii C. I swear if theyāre the first of my tomodachi miis to ever fightā¦ Iāll probably just swear aloud much to my momās dismay.
I got asked what actor Iād chose to play me in a movie and I answered āsome ginger, I guessā.
This was a great move to make. Love them trying to reference people but pull up my vague answer.
Miis telling me my nose reminds them of some ginger, they guess.
I highly suggest adding a vague option for a person lingo.
On the other hand, when asked to describe myself, I should not have put down āautistic artsy cat-loverā. I canāt help but squint judgementally whenever I catch them using that lingo.
To be somewhat fair, this was early enough in the game that I didnāt realize how theyād use it. But I do find it a bit funny.
Leona Kingscholar from Twst, a depressed lion man, calling himself an āautistic artsy cat-loverā feels so sarcastic but I canāt even imagine how one would pull that response out of him in his canon universe.
Telling someone you just met that you think theyāre an āautistic artsy cat-loverā feels rather judgemental. Judgemental of first impressions because said accused mii was currently dressed up in the tiger outfit. I should share the screenshot of that.
So I figure the citizens of the Mycelind Kingdom typically have less then 20/20 vision. They're more near-sighted than far-sighted, just a bit of an evolutional quirk as they've developed night vision. I've found a vision simulator and screenshotted the usual human average vision along with the image of what I figure most Mycelind citizens' vision is like, including Princess Bobo herself.
I am going to put it under the cut to not give anyone random eye-strain as they scroll plus this might become a bit of a long post.
Left image is the normal human healthy vision, right image is the Mycelind average vision. I got this from a site called coopervision.com/myopia-simulator. I also added that website url as text to the image not only as a way to credit but so I may find the site again if I ever want to try simulating other characters' possibly bad vision.
I figured it would be something barely blurry, but definitely gets worse the father off you look for people who have been living underground for years. Barely blurry so Mycelind citizens think this is what average eyesight is like and thus they don't think this would be a point of getting glasses. I do think you can get around fine with this type of vision too?
Any fighters in the Mycelind Kingdom tend to be close combat fighters as ranged weapons such as guns and bows are discouraged. Don't want to risk missing the target and ending up hitting a patch of wall that causes a cave in. At least that's my thinking, that ranged weapons would cause risks for cave ins. While with close combat they'd have a bit more control over actually hitting the mark, I think. Or at least have not enough power to wreck a wall and cause a cave in.
I have been using Bobo as the insert-able player character for the game Twisted Wonderland so I'm going to start discussing Twst here. If you're not interested in that, feel free to hop off the post.
Now that I have a reference image for what her vision looks like, I tried to take the boys from Twst and blur them to match the blurriness of that basketball hoop board from the above images. I also stuck them infront of a background I nabbed and flipped to make wider. All of these I got from the Twisted Wonderland wiki.gg and edited together in Gimp.
I've been joking, mostly to myself, that Bobo wouldn't be able to tell some characters apart from like trees. Though this helps set it straight to me that it's actually not that bad. I did try to blur the background to some degree but it wasn't quite doing it. Even with me trying to focus on the farther parts to be blurrier.
This actually helps show how nice professional character designing is. They're all wearing similar outfits but you can still tell who's who. I've heard mention that you want to make characters unique with their silhouettes for that idea of them being able to stand out from each other, but I don't think I've seen anyone mention blurring the designs to see if you can tell them apart from a distance as a nearsighted person.
If Bobo were to get anyone confused from a distance, it would probably be Ace with Cater, Azul with Silver, Idia with Ortho, and I think it would be funny if she got Deuce, Trey, and Malleus confused with each other. I'm not actually taking into account their heights and if she'd be able to realize that from a distance or not.
I would think she could confuse the Shroud brothers if Idia has his hair in a hoodie or some other style that makes it appear short like Ortho's. And if she's viewing them from the back since Ortho does have that flame on the front.
Honestly I do feel like angles matter quite a bit with how she's able to recognize people from afar. Outfits would definitely help. If Silver and Azul are wearing their school uniforms with the jackets closed so she can't see the green vest on Silver, then she could confuse them. Then it would be somewhat context like who's besides them.
Jade and Floyd surely get anyone confused from different angles.
I'm losing it trying to grab better quality reference images. If I take screenshots of what the game offers, well for one I think it's only the school uniforms, and two, the freaking background. He's just looking over his own shoulder.
If I try to group images together from a wiki then it doesn't work as the image files are different sizes so it's not exactly as nice as I'd like it to be. I can't scale anything down because my programs suck at that. I don't want even the slightest blur. Also I found out that my art program doesn't do a good job at keeping the reference image's proportions.
I put an image in to try to figure out if I even really need to scale things down, forgetting that I want to change sizes so the characters are about the same size, just to find it doing something wonky. It was squishing the image by the x-axis and I did the only option I can find, resetting it. Which almost got it right, now the image is slightly stretched by the y-axis.
It is an older version of the art program so hopefully the most current version of the art program doesn't have that issue. I would certainly hope so as I have to buy the newer version. Which I'm going to try waiting on for as long as I can, partly because I'm on a computer so old that I worry for the possibility that it wont handle a newer art program.
This computer also gave me a scare that it was dying so I have no idea how much life it has left in it. Could just be a loose wire. Could just be that it's too freaking old. Doesn't help that I have no knowledge to help me here, but at least I have a dad and brother I can rely on for some assistance.
Anyway I'm getting so fed up and all I wanted to do was blur the boys so I could see if my oc/yuu could tell them apart from a distance or not since she's nearsighted and refuses to think she may need glasses.
ft. Anan, Suchol & Mathura redesign, Charin and new ocā¦?
I changed a lot of Ananās design and Iām still not satisfied :,) this is what we get for now! I didnāt change anything about Charin except for his eye lashes, and also added his dorm uniform draftsāØ
I struggled alot when I was writing Ananās character. He was too similar to Malleus (and I still think so) but I made him less serious and more playful than Malleus, he just has a very stoic facešmy chud son
A bit of Charin FAQ but he has a part time job as Attidayaās most dangerous prison guard!
I HATE Sucholās old design with a PASSION like Iāll just be making anything at that time huhššI made his pallette look less like bright neon ass lights. I changed his eye color to orange to reference his passion for adventures (like a flame?) also a bit of a reference to his god father.
The gold in his hair is actually those gold glittery hair extensions! I want him to give a vibe of some haughty young boyish prince lol. His flower crown(?) is called ąøąø§ąøąø”ąø²ąø„ąø±ąø¢ (Puang Malai) and I took inspiration from his original form (the character heās based on). Jun-Pa also wears a Puang Malai on her wrist if it looks familiar to you guys.
Now here we have papi chulo Mathura and if you noticed I didnt add his old design here because he was so ugly Iām ashamedšI think I did him justice here heh
Heāa not blind, I made his eyes very pale on purpose because I think itās hot next question.
Andddd here we have a new OC whoās Ananās brother! Heās an NPC in the twst universe lol but I just wanted to design him for shits and giggles. I tried to make him masculine but also pretty at the same time? I hope itās workingšŖ·
Heās based on Indrajit from Ramayana or ąøąø“ąøąøąø£ąøąø“ąø from the Thai version of the epic (ąø£ąø²ąø”ą¹ąøąøµąø¢ąø£ąøąø“ą¹)
Anyway! I hope this has been a fun read for you guys! I tried not to yap too much, so hereās a rough draft of what I was going for Anan. He has some light yellowish-green streaks in his hair, unlike his brother who has pink streaksšŖ·āØ His hair accessory has two layers as I was trying to reference the character he was based on who has twenty heads. Ignore my bad handwriting here lolš
Anan Anan Anan Anan Anan <3 Hair more vibrant but still arguably not different enough from grass and trees that Bobo would not be able to spot him from afar. (She really should consider glasses, shouldn't she?)
Suchol's hair color change is really nice. His before hair is a tad too bright for the eyes, but definitely seems so neon compared to his new hair. I do like his eye color being changed too as I've never been the biggest fan of characters eyes being the same/similar color to their hair.
I like the contrast of Mathura's under hair color to his top hair color. It looks like his young version doesn't have the flame marks around his mouth? I don't remember what exactly the flame marks meant and I'm not sure how to hunt that down in a quick manner.
Okay I checked Anan's introduction post to make sure it wasn't somewhere easy to find so I don't look too foolish if the fire-mark info is actually not buried somewhere... And the line on his post about his last name, pairing it with the second image/drawing here is pretty good.
"His last name: "Atthakornmetha" means a philosopher with skills as if they posses eight arms. Strange, right?" "Minced pork with basil or Boat noodles..."
I don't have screenshots as I didn't take any plus I don't know if there's an easy way to transfer switch screenshots or not. I was pleasantly surprised to learn the new Tomodatchi Life game is for the first Switch and not just the Switch 2. Only the demo is out right now so I played that to see what the customization options are.
The options aren't the same as the Switch Miitopia game, but it has quite the potential to be about the same level of customization. There's free cursor drawing on the face with the full color wheel available. I may need to get a stylus for my Switch to be able to give it a proper go.
Anyway I made Idia Shroud as my third islander. The first thing he did was lay on the ground, needing help to stand. I had my lookalike help him up and he immediately fell in love with my lookalike. He said he was going to ask me out and then proceeded to not interact at all. Though probably a good idea since I viewed him as an aquiantance.
I'm loving the changes from the 3DS version so far. They've added non-binary as an option along with if each mii has a preference or not for suits vs dresses. Miis have family trees now instead of just your lookalike getting that option. Which means when the full game is released I can add Ortho Shroud and they should be able to recognize each other as brothers. You can also choose Miis romantic preferences such as girls, boys, and non-binary. It isn't limited to one option either.
Just woke up, not sure what woke me up, but Iām struggling to recall what I dreamt. Usually I can mostly recall my dreams but maybe the abrupt awakening in the middle of the night affected that.
Iāve been playing a lot of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim lately and I just spent a couple of hours getting through more of Twisted Wonderlandās book 7 before deciding to go to bed. I think both elements were involved in my dream? But Iām struggling so much to grasp itā¦
But thinking that it may have been Twst and Skyrim together, Iām imagining Cater in a city like Whiterun. Iām vaguely recalling he was chatting about something in the dream and I frustratingly canāt even grasp what the topic was. Iām also imagining Riddle dungeon delving.
I usually only think of one or a few characters when listening to songs. I haven't come across many that make me think of dynamics between characters. I have not come across one to make me think of my yumeship, but I tend to think of characters more than myself.
There is one song that whenever I hear it I can't help but imagine my oc-inserted-into-yuu's-place being shipped with Idia. I had youtube playing random songs for me and it came up which reminded me that I meant to share it here!
Sabrina Carpenter's Looking at Me makes me think of Bobo Mycelind x Idia Shroud. Though it technically fits Bobo more than actually pairing them both, but still with how Idia is he may appreciate a partner who should know how to handle public relations. Especially if he can't get out of the family business. Bobo's used to having lots of attention due to her origins, so she could always be the face for Styx I guess.
I still haven't decided what twst characters I actually want to ship with Bobo... Without actually looking too much into it I just see Jade being her top suitor and Idia being more like a rare ship pairing.
(The audio only version was the version that popped up from her channel when I typed her song into youtube search.)
If I put your song into youtube search I get:
I wish it had captions as some parts are a bit hard to understand what the singer is saying. Some music videos will have the lyrics in the description at least, but not this one. I feel like I can definitely see the Siphona-ness of it. Siphok and Leona just being lovey-dovey over each other.

Name: Akuhata Ahikoa
Nickname(s): Koa
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/They
Birthday: July 14 (Cancer)
Age: ???
Height: 6'4" or 193cm
Voice Claim(s): Khary Payton, Junichi Suwabe
Twisted From: Te Fiti and Te KÄ from Moana, as well as those characters inspirations: Pele and Ku from Hawaiian mythos.
Unique Magic: Stolen Heart - Previously known as "Ignited Heart," Stolen Heart is a highly warped version of Akuhata's unique magic he originally acquired a long, long time ago. While previously giving them a way to easily shift from a more defensive style of magic to offensive, the spell is now highly volatile and out of their control. Rather than being cast, Stolen Heart coincides with Koa's emotions. It is ignited by a fiery rage and grief of what was lost, leaving himself and everything around him burnt, charred, and overrun with the flow of lava. While this gives him an extreme boost in firepower, he is unable to control deactivation of the spell. Interference of a third party to calm them down is required for them not to overblot...again.
Likes: Phenomology, metaphysics, poetry, romance, ideology, environmentology, ecology, the ocean.
Dislikes: Routine, restrictive clothing, smoke, bed rot, pessimism, nihilism, darkness, being doted on.
Fears: Losing himself, the inability to heal(mentally and physically), betrayal, blot, connection.
Summary: A subdued and somber student which clawed out of the depths of Styx. As a long-lasting fae with magic fueled by nature, he is temporarily attending Night Raven College to learn about the changes of the world after a decades long overblot... or centuries, maybe. He isn't quite sure. Styx's records can only tell them so much before they can only imagine what happened prior to their overblotted-self's capture.
Having finally come back to reality for unknown reasons in the modern day, Koa's past is blurry. He's gained skills he doesn't remember learning, speaking languages he never remembered speaking, and finding parts of himself he never recalled losing. Though these phantom memories can only go so far. As a powerful fae attempting to heal and regain control of his power, he has sense been put under the supervision of the Shroud brothers at Night Raven College.
Why on earth is he being sent back to school? Akuhata wonders that as well, but Styx seems to claim its for the purpose of reacclimating to the times, whereas the headmaster claims its simply about hospitality... or garnering influence from the media's inevitable curiosity. Regardless of the chaos, Koa remains seemingly calm and collected. He's garnered a reputation among students for being well-mannered, forthright, and well-spoken while also being very avoidant to any type of advances. He keeps everyone at a distance whether he knows their well-intentioned or not, but he still tries his best to learn and readjust as he was instructed to by Styx. It's just another bad habit he picked up from some unknown time that he'll have to unlearn.
CHARACTER PLAYLIST
Author's Notes: VERY VERY DELAYED, but he is here!!! I did a TON of very interesting research into specifically Hawaiian and Maori culture for this character- given one of the main complaints among Pacific Islander people was that Moana just pulled from a mishmash of different Island cultures- so I really wanted to zone in on more specific details with this character :D Overall it was very fun to learn about!!!! I definitely want to do more with his design and character in the future- I'm hoping to insert more mythology inspiration into his backstory once I'm able to flesh it out a bit more.
Besides all that- I want to focus on themes of grieving and healing with Koa. The brief mentioning of the fact that Malleus was not in the same level of danger compared to other overblotters was VERY interesting to me. The blot monsters are meant to drain mages magic until they die, but strong fae are able to drain magic from nearby nature. Hence this cycle- that never really would end as long as there is plant life around. And I was like- wow that could be absolutely horrific if you put someone in a seemingly endless loop of emotions like that. and hence. akuhata was born. I am nothing if not a lover of angst.
i'm not sure if this is just me or not and idk where to go. is there a glitch stopping me/you from doing lessons? is it eng-server-wide or just me?
(english isn't my first language, sorry)
I tested this on my EN account and when I try to do Lessons, this screen pops up and boots me back to the home screen:
The login speech bubble for is also broken. I got Azul today, but no English transcription for his dialogue.
It looks like this is a EN server-wide problem. (I think because the team might be implementing stuff for ENās anniversary, which is likeā¦ tomorrow, I think? And maybe that messed up some code.)
You can contact Twst EN via email and let them know about the issue. Give the team some time to fix this; Iām sure it wonāt be long!
I accidentally hit the power button to my phone when it was loading the game so when Floydās speech bubble didnāt appear I assumed I had caused the game to glitch then got worried when clicking on lessons caused an error message to pop up.
Though after closing it and giving the game some time it seemed weird that It seems only lessons causes an error to pop up. I only checked cards, mirror, and opening exams so far so I donāt know yet if itās just lessons thatās having a problem but it is somewhat relieving to hear it may be a server issue as I was starting to wonder how did me accidentally hitting my power button cause such a problem.
Hopefully this only lasts a day and they give us some lp candy to make up for the missed lessons. Would be nice if they could also give another round of special lessons too. I may check later if it gets fixed or I may just wait until tomorrow since Iām not feeling that great today so I donāt want to check for what all may not be working.
Anyone who does email and let them know devs know about the issue, it may help to do a quick test to see if itās only when you click on lessons that causes the error and thus reload to title screen. I think it tends to be more helpful the more info one can give when reporting issues.
