Honestly if you have a TWST oc, my #1 go-to question to ask about them isn't who they're based off of or what their backstory is or who likes them and who doesn't. Nah. None of that really matters unless I know how they view Yuu/MC and Grim. That's what matters most to me.
Had to give him glasses cause it felt too right on him he is probably pretty farsighted
And he is so totally the type to pull up on the FIRST date with unreasonably large bouquet and not see any problem with that
/Disclaimer I am Asian/ I wanted him to be one of those types of Asian guys who can very successfully pull off a cute look and appearance to seem less intimidating and make you like him
type of guy that wears baggy and preppy clothes to look less big and he probably slouches a lot unless he wants to try to intimidate someone who bothers you
also he doesn't color his hair he is just genetically more predisposition to developing grey hair and Harlequin is responsible for like 70% of salt on his head Imao (still dont know how exactly | haven't really thought everyone's interpersonal relationship in human AU and whether or not they live together, ages, etc. if anyone has suggestions Imk i could use some help)
BUT I liked the idea of Pietro (For now best human name I settle on for him) getting a job in the same coffee shop as us just as a baker to spend more time with us!!
i think whenever he has a chance to interact with MC he is all upity in energy and excited like a puppy but the moment we aren't around and he needs to interact with other customers he shuts down so quickly and barely speaks with them Imao
god he was such a pain in the ass to draw but hope yall like him!!
( this fic is just gonna lay the groundwork for the three fics so it isn't for one specific demigod reader ) side note : thank you calcifiedunderland for giving me so many ideas and tips for this concept
Pairings : Leo Valdez x reader / Idia Shroud x reader
IDIA SHROUD didn't think his self esteem could get any lower but there's no other way to look at it. He doesn't measure up to most people and he especially can't compare to literal demi god
And because the universe loves tormenting him, his rival had to be the son of Hephaestus. Anything Idia could make would pale in comparison to the demi normie.
Seriously who is this guy?! He just has a pet dragon lying around, this kind of stuff only happens in fantasy anime! ...Oh sevens, is he the second male lead in a romance anime?!
Not that he'd be surprised if that were the case, everything else in his life was terrible so why should his love life be any different?
Idia gets even more depressed, and slightly afraid, when he finds out Leo is flammable on command. The third year would give anything to make his fire hair optional...
His only saving grace is that fact that you're stuck here until Crowley finds a way to get you home. That should give him enough time to level up and win you over! Every time Ortho invites you to Ignihyde ( because Idia is too nervous to do it himself ) Idia offers you his gamer chair while he sits on the floor, like a gentlemen
Every hang out, Idia does his best to make sure it's a 10 / 10 experience. You're hungry? Feel free to order whatever you want, he has the money to spare. Are you bored? Idia has loads of games available and there's no monsters around to try and kill you if you touch a phone so feel free to spend as much time inside. With him. Maybe watch some movies. Together. ( Ortho, is he laying it on thick. Ortho- )
But Idia knows he can only distract you for so long, you still miss your world. The first time you met the tweels, they immediately reminded you of the Stoll brothers. Even going to dorms brought back memories of home, Pomefiore's dedication to beauty so like the Aphrodite cabin. So reminiscent of your old world, just without the connections and history. If there's one thing Idia can't replace, it's your bond with Leo
LEO VALDEZ genuinely thinks Aphrodite has something out for him or maybe it's her messed up son that's screwing with his love life, that's the only explanation for yet another doomed crush. He couldn't convince Echo to go with him, Calypso went back to being a friend, and now his latest crush is in a whole other world with a Hades fan boy
Speaking of Idia, that jerk needs to learn how to read a room and leave it. Every iris message between the two of you is interrupted with Idia shoehorning himself in to ask about Hades, see if he's as cool as the legends make him out to be. First off, he's not. Secondly, he could easily ask you anytime outside of your guys call times but he chooses now specifically? This is targeted and Leo is NOT going to stand for it. Two can play at that game
Idia needs your help to carry snacks from Sam's? He has his freaky robot brother for that, check out this new weapon Leo made instead. There's a new game you two want to check out? Sounds fun! Too bad you're going to have to reschedule because Leo is in the infirmary wing and he needs you beside him to recover. Just your presence alone is enough to further the healing process. And he does mean just YOUR presence alone, tell Idia to leave the call. The ugly fire place he calls hair is giving Leo a headache
What's that? You can't Iris message Leo because Idia conveniently ran out of drachmas? Lucky for you, he just read through several books on how to make your own and now he's teaching you. (Where the hell did that nerd get Drachmas anyway...)
As fun as it is to sabotage your two's budding relationship, Leo doesn't know how much longer he can take being literal worlds apart. Camp just isn't the same without you. Frank and Hazel live at Camp Jupiter, Piper's busy with counselor duties, Grover too, and Leo is NOT third wheeling Percabeth or Nicoangleo. Sometimes after your calls end, he stays awake wondering if you like it better at NRC then you do here
No gods to boss you around, your life's not constantly in danger, and you get to discover a new world full of magic and different species of creatures that don't want you dead. And Idia's fire can't hurt you like Leo's can. If he really cared about you then he should let you stay there instead of holding on
I took my little brother (autistic, mostly non verbal) out and he was using his voice keyboard to tell me something, and this little boy (maybe 4 or 5?) heard him and asked me "Is he a robot??" I tried to explain to him that no, he isn't a robot, he just communicates differently, but my darling brother was in the background max volume "I am robot I am robot I am robot I am robot"
My little brother insisted if I was going to post about him, he wanted a cut of the "profits". When I explained to him that Tumblr isn't monetized, and is pretty pointless, he and my older brother pointed out that he'd still be bringing me "fame and notoriety" if the post got "big". So we agreed, if the post hit 10k notes, which seemed extremely farfetched and silly at the time, I'd take my little brother out for sushi (his favorite food) and let him eat as much as he wants.
I guess God wanted the little robot to enjoy some sushi 🍣 🥲
Part of me wants to say no cause the existence of beast man, merfolk, fae, etc. Plus the most we get about characters being creeped out by others in game is more just general vibes and not because there uncanny to them. Then again, it’s possible that they’re just enough ‘human’ that it doesn’t trigger. What about overblots? Are those uncanny? Cause you’re watching around someone you know get pulled around like a puppet on a string?
does Yuu trigger a bit of uncanny valley at first? Cause they’re human, but not from this world. They move in ways that just feel slightly off, their voice doesn’t sound right at first, something looks wrong with them if you stare for just long enough. Eventually its stops triggering in the main cast cause they know Yuu is harmless. However during the beginning were they creeped out by Yuu? By someone from another world looking human but just doesn’t feel like one?
