ঌ ▓ a fuel that burns even when there is no oxygen, even if there seems to be no tomorrow. sometimes drifting away and about, trying to affix back onto the right path. Yet try to lead too many, and you yourself might use your way.
Like the scent of wheat that is carried under the sunset’s wind, the warm hand that reaches out and takes yours, waiting for yours to come towards him…
: ̗̀➛ who burns for you?
[♡ྀི 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐌𝐔𝐍-𝐑𝐀.]
ঌ ▓ This may not seem like a surprising match— as it is not. From the moment you first meet, there is something about you that draws the gaze of Sharrkan attentively: is it how you mend the tone of the room with just a word despite the relaxed, yet quietly confident and assured atmosphere that you stride forward with? Or was that which had influenced it in the first place? As if that gaze had a quiet mischievousness running underneath it, not hidden, but also not so obvious. As his gaze swept across the room, heated with holiday vigor, a white hot pang ran through him— meeting your impassioned eyes, and your nod.
ঌ ▓ First and foremost, Sharrkan is a man who does not mind exile, and did not originally mind a life with attachments which may stretch and contract and even break. And perhaps, this is a result of the oppressive nature of his childhood. He, who had known from a young age of responsibility and duty; he, who knows and felt even shameful of his own actions and asking of foreigners to aid in his country’s efforts—which can potentially bring calamity due to that debt—; he, who wants to see the wind of the future and be able to be pulled into life without worrying meaninglessly— this is also what he most admires about you. The scent of fruits in your grocery bag, the cabinet that you store your bath bombs (a kind of preference that requires one to slow themselves down, to relax, to lighten the atmosphere, to preserve such a pleasant feeling inside his heart), the way you just enjoy the festivities with a matching dress hugging you. The way you find so much passion to express through the most seemingly mundane and arbitrary moments in the monotony of life does not only excite him— it wraps a firm and gentle hand underneath his heart, as if saying, even if you don’t expect me to, I’ll be here to catch you ;) — dangerous, dangerous stuff. It is as if he is walking through a night market, the orange lanterns glazing the limestones with a warm hue, and then he is suddenly, suddenly pulled forth, and finds himself within your pace, pulling him along. And what else could he do but smile, and reciprocate? Loving you starts with the little things—it starts with a friendly gesture— like sparring with this beautiful traveling warrior!
The trees swayed, the sharp tips of pinnate leaves catch the wind, and their silhouettes overlap, like crossed swords.
SCHWING!
Whistling steel clashed in the air, sending sparks into the atmosphere like a broken electric current.
Alibaba gulped, perched on the edge of his seat underneath the shade of the gazebo. “…Are.. they stopping anytime soon?”
Sharrkan hopped back on his heel, flicking his wrist back and forward— a silver line rushed through the air.
The red dragon sword shone as you pivoted forward, parrying his sword. The orange sunset limned his impassioned eyes with a ravaging tint, so bright that you could see yourself in them. His face was flushed red, even moreso than how it usually is, with elation. Whether the reason for that be from fighting, or sparring with you, you yourself feels your heart pounding.
ঌ ▓ I know there is this quality of excitement that I have written in every scene so far, because that is what comes with your presence in his life, but what truly makes this relationship blossom is how mature the two of you can approach things, because of how well you can understand one another: Sharrkan can truly be seen as a frivolous person, in fact, he is a show off. I don’t agree with the wiki that says that he used to be earnest, because he is still a very earnest mentor, a very earnest warrior, but he does have a tendency to conceal parts of himself unintentionally. The way his demeanor switches as he fights, or when he acts as the king of Heliophat, that is also part of him. He is not without insecurities and anxieties in these duties. Thus, one of the reasons this relationship truly works is because you invite him to truly become more present in the moment rather than being lifted off into the air while enjoying festivities. What’s the story behind this celebration? Why do people celebrate it? These seemingly unimportant questions make him remember why celebrations aren’t for the sake of celebrations. In it is a quieter enjoyment that is not all drinking and flirtation, but like the moment after a firework goes off, and you cannot hear anything over the crackling noise, but you SEE, and your eyes sweep over the mountains of people sharing this same firework. And it feels like you realize something then. Sharrkan has a tendency to get aggressive and argue, but he is in fact, the meekest one with his true feelings. Someone who is able to enjoy life with him, to have fun with him, who is so tender and supportive towards all while not allowing anyone to step over themselves, who is heroic and earnest— someone who can inspire him to do more once again, and make him honest and bashful. Someone like you, who doesn’t hesitate to express thanks or affection in your words, and it always makes him tense up, his heart squeezing just for a moment. He doesn’t expect it when you first tease him because of how reserved you seem, and even if he teases you back, you somehow always manage to come out on top. You disarm him, and he finds himself enjoying it. He’s almost coquettish when it happens, and finds himself putting aside his pride as your relationship grows. There is this layer of steadiness to you that makes him feel comforted sharing his thoughts and emotions to you, but this layer also serves to make him more sober in serious situations while not putting him down. It means so, so much to him, to not be judged (for his status, for his attitude), but still be seen.
ঌ ▓ Perhaps the only true issue would be the stubbornness between both of you. Sharrkan is a worrywart at heart. When he sees that you have a problem, he wants to help out. At the same time, he has enough understanding that you would rather solve your own problems if it is interpersonal. However, he wants you to be able to rely on him and trust him in your vulnerable states, if not for solving problems, but for emotional comfort. If you cannot talk, that is not needed. But please, keep the door of your bedroom open to him so he can hold you through the night. Let him call you the names that you love, and he loves to speak. Let him cherish you. Let him love you. Let him show you off, not as some commodity, but with pride. If there is ever an argument, it is either extremely brief, or very heated. This latter one is very rare, and, after it, it is very easy to reconcile with one another. Maybe it is because Sharrkan has become more calm and reflective because of you, or because you have become more trusting of him, it is easy to read how discouraged and somber he is afterwards, and somehow, a part of your anger dissipates. I can’t see any of these arguments being because of each other's characteristics, but rather, more from misplaced words and small assumptions from being hurt.
ঌ ▓ It’s obvious that you are an attractive woman— it is even more obvious that you are his type. I think you seem like the type where playful arguments can truly make you laugh and feel more relaxed, and Sharrkan is a man who can absolutely make you feel that way. He’s genuinely someone who has a sensitive heart, and somewhat childish (like getting mad at Alibaba for finding another master), because he is also someone who is very sentimental. That was his first student!! And he’ll have to nestle up to you afterwards, hugging your waist and rubbing his face against your side like a cat, whining. Whenever you do something chaotic, he sometimes cheers for you, but other times, he’s really thinking, oh my god this woman??? And his jar is agape and he feels like he has to run up and restrain you. He plays dirty in this. He’ll nuzzle up to you and call you sweetheart, and try to sweet talk you out of it. Or sweet talk you into it. 💀 Jafar probably doesn’t know whether or not to laugh or cry when he’s dealing with you two.
ঌ ▓ Between the two of you, if it was not obvious enough, Sharrkan falls in love first. He also confesses first. The thing about this is that multiple scenarios of this confession is possible. A public declaration at a festival, where he slices open a beast’s stomach and dedicates it towards you, gazing at you from a distance. Or perhaps, a floundering confession after being teased by friends, and he has an outburst— I like her, so what? And at that moment, you walk into the room… At the end, he is thoroughly teased by friends for what he does.
ঌ ▓ For date nights, Sharrkan tries his best to woo you, treat you whatever you’d like to dinners and souvenirs. A lot of your dates are very random, and happens no matter what time of the day it is. “You want to head out?” And you two just do, wherever, whenever. It doesn’t even have to be going out. Usually, it is just doing fun things near each other. Someone suggested to write date ideas on a wheel and spin it whenever you two want a surprise, and it hasn’t ever failed the two of you.
ঌ ▓ He would love to show you around Heliophat. He is the prince after all— with a rich education that has been driven to him as a child. When he becomes a king, he has a bad habit to sneak out of palace once in a while with you, pretending to be commoners. And if your subjects ever recognize you— they pretend they never saw.
ঌ ▓ The day he went back to Heliophat, he wanted to take you with him. He knows, it would be selfish of him to ask you to leave your entire life here to go with him, to ask you to leave your friends and loved ones. So, he takes you out for dinner one more time, and there is this gentle silence about him for once as he watches you eat. And he tells you, if you ever step foot into Heliophat with the intention to stay, to know that the throne beside him will be open for you. He is praying inside his heart that this will not be the last time he can call you his love.
— “Don’t try to change people. Just love them. Love is what changes us.”
𝄞𝄢 Like a music box, heralding its playful sound even in front of strangers, curious yet not methodical, but still watchful; still forgetful. But I do not want to forget, I do not wish to forget..
To inhibit the sadness and to channel the aggression as happiness, to become happy, to be safe..
A beautiful sound plays and bubbles out, lonely without audience, but wishing for it, but not wishing for it— wanting to be pulled out of stasis, dreaming of the sky and the stars, but living within the present. Steadily gazing forward…
[♪ ༘⋆] who can understand this melody? it has to be that person…
HAIKYUU | FILE #2 | PART 1
USHIJIMA ★ WAKATOSHI
𝄞𝄢 I believe there is a very distinct oscillation within the fanbase upon how Ushijima is as a character, between some stoic, perhaps deathly dense, adult man, or some elitist who clings to the past— he is neither of those extremities, compounded within years of mischaracterization and projection. As someone who has also been attached to a negative image in your past and wishes to deviate from that time, there is something pulling at your heartstrings when you see him standing in lonesomeness. Here is something to remember: Ushijima is not entirely dense— he has a body thrumming with vitality and excitement as he feels the ridges of the ball upon his palm, and he has lived through enough to recognize a fact that he has understood even as a child: there had always been something that separates himself and his classmates, and this matter stems not from talent or birth, but of the self. And it is this that he also sees within you. It is only him, or rather, it is him who first gazes this inside of you. And I can tell this is the case, because you say that your best trait is how understanding you are, which, combined with your realistic pessimism, tells of a maturity that was brought together by the overcoming of external obstacles. And this is the understanding that Ushijima requires, that he wants. He doesn't want to be babied, he doesn't want a soft, gentle push by a friend or a lover. He cannot read himself well sometimes, and so listening to your skepticism and your blunt observations is something that means the world to him, because he knows of your honesty.
𝄞𝄢 Here is another thing to remember: Ushijima is by no means "taciturn" -- he is unfathomably, disproportionately passionate. He isn't intimidating because he is tall or because he is like a rock that cannot be overturned. He is intimidating because he is all of that and he has the most intense depth of glaze even looking at someone. It is this gaze that easily pulls over him once he becomes impassioned; it is this gaze that trails behind your visage, when he falls in love with you.
𝄞𝄢 You two have a myriad of intersecting similarities— you are both reserved, yet you just blossom into vibrancy in conversation. You are sincere and honest, just as he, but there is a different kind of sincerity that scuttles and scrambles for purchase… (endearing). It is a kind of sincerity that lights up your friends and family alike. You both have an appreciation of hot drinks and tea— yet your vast array of tastes and oddities in preferences do not stop to astound him. Yes— that might be the correct word for it. When Ushijima meets you, he is astounded by you. This is not an impression of astounding from a first meeting. It is an impression that continues to grow, and continues to become more and more fond. You are sometimes so withdrawn, but other times, so affectionate with your friends. You would even spend your time to dive into your friends’ interests, and then, when your passion overtakes you, you sometimes have outbursts of loudness that leave you slightly embarrassed. To Ushijima, you are someone who is so curious to him. A tender figure that is loomingly close despite physical distances. He cannot have a firm grasp on many personalities he has met, including Tendou, who guffaws and gestures wildly, but it has never given him such a squishy sensation in his heart. It's like he's meeting some fairy that is hidden in the garden, present, but not attempting to make their presence known. It has made him want to SEE this, want to encounter it in the past, not like competitions and tournaments. His gaze follows you at his peripheral, until he realizes he cannot be so rude as to not even speak to you, yet act so shamelessly with his gaze. It starts off very slight- he overhears a heated challenge from your friend aimed towards you, and you accept.
The window clatters. A yawn tumbles out of your chest, and an indistinct warmth slides into the seat next to you. Then, low, almost shy voice--
"Did you succeed?"
--This is...
𝄞𝄢 A few days later, he asks you of your status, curious to see your progress. And he is not intrusive, or overbearing, or hostile. Even before become physically close in any manner, there is this lack of psychological distance between the two of you, that make things feel new yet not intimidating. He holds everyone with such respect as persons, and this is very obvious with the way he treats Hinata upon their first meeting: he gets absolutely psyched when he sees that demonstration of athleticism. He doesn't like words. He loves actions, and you are a person of that action. Whether or not you believe it, it doesn't mean things like athleticism solely, but of the surreptitiously masked emotion that is behind your facial expression, of the pragmaticism in which you wield and concentrate under that pressure, the creativity in which you open your mind to various ideas and hobbies. He can see this action through the impacts it has had on your friends (your teammates in life, in a sense) rather than the visage of your face. He doesn't need you to express your emotions readily to him to understand you- he is incredibly considerate of your space and your time, feeling that it is very precious to you. I believe that it is through you which he starts to understand himself more, because your presence is like the drift of a refreshing wind that is blowing through his hair, making him turn his head to the sights that he didn't consider before, and letting him consider it carefully. He has this kind of stable presence that allows you to become more open and sincere, because he will not treat you any lesser for your opinions or your emotions. He will not treat you as a child or scold you for your forgetfulness or your clumsiness, but he will quietly show you how to do something, or learn it with you. When he sees that you need help, he silently offers it to you. Separated from friends in gym class, and need a partner? He's already there. Forgot to check the weather forecast and your friends had to leave earlier due to clubs? He hands one to you. And being with him is mundanely fun and silly, not just the idea of Ushijima himself doing something like playing video games or cooking, but of how he has this flaming passion that burns through his eyes at every goal-- and because he is so unironically funny. He's has humor knitted into his being or something: he has this deadpan reaction to everything that is just so slow and the comedic timing is always perfect, and he sometimes don't understand your references to memes and references, and he somehow always get into the most funny situations possible. His responses are also sometimes so forthright and so harmlessly misunderstanding that it's obvious how confused he is sometimes. It's no wonder why Tendou wants to be his friend. Like the fact that these two are very long term friends means that Ushijima has to be whimsical in some way to accept him so wholeheartedly. This man is patient, understanding, and sometimes he also needs help, and when this happens, you always help him, and somehow, he always brings the extroversion out of you. You are someone who does crave the intimacy of connections, but there are many days where you are not motivated for such long-winded conversation, but he projects a special kind of confidence onto you, and it makes you want to meet his expectations. It makes you want to see him smile in thanks. It makes him want to smile.
𝄞𝄢 In extension: he doesn't understand himself why or how he fell in love with you. It is just the pounding of his heart, the smile he has to fight back when he sees you, the anticipation of his time with you currently, and the curve of your own face. You don't need to smile or laugh or even talk to mesmerize him. He sees every bit of you, and he finds himself seeking your company. In a way, you can say that he falls because of every part of you. He is endeared by your love of animals and dragons or whichever fantastical creature to catch your attention (in a way, he feels like one himself) and he grounds you when you lose your balance, learning to twirl you around per suggestions from his friends. You incite feelings into him that he has not felt before, you make him want to talk with you and share with you what he most intimately has hidden inside of his heart. You make him feel seen and wanted, and he makes you feel like there is an adventure in every path into the future with his ambitions, which is written like stone with how steady he ensures the future beholds. He is someone whose eyes for the future you could trust. Someone who burns for your compassion, and becomes enraptured by it.
𝄞𝄢 As an athlete with discipline woven into his soul, he aches when he sees you in a daze or in pain.
Laggy shrimp? His brows knit together in a rare look of worry. Before you could react, he bends down, taking your spasming arm in his warm - you shiver - hands. His hold is so tender yet sturdy, pressing down to alleviate some of the pressure.
"Look." Something is pressed into the cleft of your palm, and there you see a tiny origami dino.
𝄞𝄢 Sometimes, he cheers you up in very heartfelt, deeply profound ways. A whisper in your ear while cuddling, tucking the dark hair out of your collar. Caresses above your lips.
He’s holding his hands out, as if gesturing for you to pull your hands from your winter jacket. The moment you do so, a stinging coldness penetrates into your skin, but then, they are brought into the pockets of someone else’s lapels. It’s much more warm than your own.
𝄞𝄢 His jackets are now your jackets!! Sometimes, he drapes his jersey over you, but he always gets scolded by the coach when it gets colder because what if he gets sick and can’t play?
𝄞𝄢 There is also the way you are so constructed around your passions, and this is also a matter that Ushijima loves- sharing the things that you love with one another. Supporting one another, being with one another, even if not physically.
𝄞𝄢 This man does not play about you. Forget about dates? Ignoring you? Not communicating with you? That absolutely never happens. He is always on time, and if he is not on time, something had to be physically stopping him from getting to you. His way of expressing his love to you is really nonlinear and it keeps you guessing, because sometimes he just randomly thinks of you, and he has to do something that reminds you of him. If he sees someone stuffing their mouth, he's just going to be reminded of you.
𝄞𝄢 Ushijima is grounded within his own being. He is confident within his own framework of the world, like holding an umbrella, and shielding those around him from the thundering rain. He cannot see further than where his vision ends, and he doubts the blubbering of possibilities, but with every step, his world is expanding, and he has an uncanny ability to adapt to it. Ushijima is not some dense, volleyball-obsessed creature. From when he lost that final match, he started to understand that he was missing something. And so, he had decided, he must study that something. He must see what exactly caused him to lose— was it his pride, so unyielding that someone could come up and drive Shiratorizawa off the podium? That is part of it, but it seems like there is something else entirely that he lacked. Something this team is lacking. A team’s weakness is his own weakness. Just like you, he places the emotions and expectations of others upon his shoulders, searching for an answer. Ushijima is a calculated observer-- and a sincere lover. When he sees an improvement, an achievement, he doesn't hold back his compliments and his sincere opinions, much less if it is yours. He doesn’t get jealous easily, and he knows of your endurance and strength; but his face grows worrisome when someone flirts with you, and he can’t help but declare, this is my partner. What is it that you want from them? Again, he’s not at all shy about expressing his admiration or his praises. If you joke about yourself to him, he will give you the most stern look, and then unexpectedly break into stating facts about you to prove you wrong. This man gets asked about your relationship from his teammates out of a place of teasing, and then he genuinely starts to talk about you and your reactions and what you’re doing, and a smile like slowly makes its way onto his face, and everyone is just sweating because why is he suddenly so talkative? Genuinely remembers every single fact you ever tell him about your favorite fixations and WILL bring them up randomly to those who are conversing with him. This is the kind of man who would and will carry a picture of you from a time you went on a date together to the amusement park in his wallet. Love just sneaks up on the both of you. When he confesses to you, it is not a planned confession. It is just on the tip of his tongue, after perhaps years of friendship and companionship, because it is so easy for him to adore you.
“Spend my life with somebody?” He pauses, thinking.
“—” Hearing your response, he suddenly frowned. Before he could think, the words had already tumbled from his mouth.
“I don’t intend to spend it with anybody but you.”
Then, he uncharacteristically clasps a hand over his mouth, stifling his own shock. Tuffs of hair tickling his ears, now red. They look hot to the touch.
𝄞𝄢 This love is not cotton candy, or the blossoms of a tree. It is the warm wind that rises in the transition of summer to autumn. It is the breath of living, when the trees shed anew.
𝄞𝄢 FIRST IMPRESSIONS....
A quiet… hm? Not so quiet classmate.
“Ciph? They’re so cold..” Cold? Have they seen you talk with your friends? Have they ever spoken to you?
When Ushijima meets you, he is abounded with the rumors from classmates whom share stories differing from the you he has seen. They seem to be true, yet not true at the same time. It perplexes him, but oddly enough, it draws his curiosity. What kind of person are you?
𝄞𝄢 ARCHER is a jaded man. He is— (an unhappy man. An aggravated man—) an imitation of his past as a young boy. But when he meets you, there is a strange, ticklish sensation in his heart that makes him want to hope again (Alaya, Alaya, Alaya—!), that had been stolen from him. It makes him.. want to be a hero again. To him, you are not some naive child who cannot feel for themselves how the world is; even though there is a certain naïveté that is inherent of many young adults your age accompanying you, feeling as if you are in a drifting boat, small and about to capsize— (he has felt this way too, numerous times.. questioning his choices. Wishing he never…) yet it feels fresh. It feels nostalgic, like the reminders of what he once fought for, your pessimistic realism, yet your continued persistence, your continued drive. Your sheltered heart which you have opened up to few people thrown open without resistance, your struggle for the sensation of empathy, of feeling for others, for a sense of permanence. Yet holding back your words sometimes in restraint, trying to become more optimistic… a smile makes its way onto his face without him even knowing. When Archer first meets you that fateful night, where the cicadas wallowed beneath the swaying trees, and hears your name, heeds your orders, there is a splinter of tenderness that pierces his heart.
𝄞𝄢 it is somewhat difficult to explain why he falls in love with you without spoiling you of what happens during all the different routes of FATE. However, what I can say is that Archer is a man who needs desperately more than anything, someone who can make him feel hope again. Not through audacious bravery, impulsive cruelty, hardstrung intelligence, or even a strong will. It is through the sensitivity of character. The internal struggle you hold over your own apathy and your own experience with emotions is more telling than you may think, and it is this authenticity, this pursuit of trying to feel— this may be odd to say, but it is a trait that aspires deep affection in him. Especially since he sees how you acknowledge the fact that there are times where you do have an attitude in your tone, that you are irritable, but he also sees that it is because you are under constrain and pressure at home and outside of it, not feeling safe around so, so many people and becoming irked at their invasive and questionably bad behavior. Our pasts affects us so deeply. That is what he remembers. But it is also a source to build from to the future of our lives. I think the very which by way you live entrances him, moves him. Your enjoyment of tea (haha, sorry for mentioning this so often!!) is a true accentuation of your character. You have tea to relax, you have tea during the midday or before bed. Teatime is a sacred time. To live in the present and relax from the moment. Though he has to scold you for your procrastination, leveling up so much stress all at once might be good for your productivity, but it’s also affecting your mental state, no matter the fact that you cannot see it. You do get affected by many things, but you also feel this detachment to your own emotions and it translates only through the way your voice is when you are sad or irritable or joyful, or upset. This all charms him, grounds him, and makes him want to support you. I think he is someone who is so comforting and distant while also being so sweet and warm, something that is a little cute to you. Like a cat who brings back coins and little trinkets for you, after being out all day. He isn’t blindly following orders either, questioning you (not offensively, but: asking you of your emotions, trying to make sure you are not just ignoring your heart to follow logic or what is “right”.) He reaches out in the most subtle ways that you sometimes don’t notice, but always, always make you feel like he is there. Ready to take you forward, ready to catch you, ready to give you advice, even if sarcastic sometimes (but not blazing or shaming or humiliating. Honest. Loyal. Just as you are. Though sometimes he end up being extremely funny at these moments, though it’s hard to explain because of the sheer absurdity of situations it implies he has gotten in). When it comes to your forgetfulness or clumsiness at times, he reacts fast, giving you cues or explaining things subtly. When water spills from the pot, he already has a towel in hand. When your feet ache from a new pair of shoes, he has a first aid kit and kneels down to check your wounds with soft hands. It’s a little embarrassing… but it’s also so, so cute? Your face is slightly flushed, and he huffs in embarrassment. He’s really quietly intense, with some very fun reactions. You’d think he’d be somewhat boring at first glance, but he has this unintentionally fun side he shows to the people he loves, and he’s also a very experimental, bold person: you wouldn’t expect just how willing he is to throw himself into things, and he always surprises you with what he decides to do next.
𝄞𝄢 Archer only intends to earn trust from his actions. Test him ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times— and you will only see his compassion hidden beneath that tense clench of his jaw. That worry he holds for you. He isn’t like some mad king, some frivolous lancer, some romantic lunatic, some deviant priest. I think that the phrase “the eyes are the window to the soul” very much applies to him; he is cynical and nihilistic, yet holds so much regards to the depth of life and is protective and even childish sometimes. He doesn’t hesitate to pull you out of harms way, or later on, to make a meal for you. He doesn’t hold grudges, and his temperament is actually so even sometimes it softens you as well. Which is funny considering the fact that he is the only grudge he holds against himself. Yet, your animated texts, your urgent voice beholden from passion as you spoke, it makes him feel as if he has been a much better person than he was. It feels like that because he knows you notice him just as much he he does you; you peel away the layers until he is stripped of what he does good, bad— what incites emotion from you. When he falls in love, there is this deep yearning—
Is it possible for them to feel just as intensely this way?
He grips at his overcoat, near his chest, as if he is grasping his thumping chest.
𝄞𝄢 Archer doesn’t want to dream of this. Can servants dream? Is having a wish, a material desire, actually possible for a servant? It is he who is different than this though.. after all, he is—
But he cannot stop himself.
𝄞𝄢 He makes you feel comfortable—but he always manages to spike up your life too. He is so honest and considerate, it is also hard not to trust him. Perhaps some part of it was, he never intended to have you trust him. He never intended to pursue you for anything, but the flow of your relationship together somehow intertwined in this cup that is fate, and became hard to detach to. So indeed, he will fight for you. You, whose dreams is not evil or cruel, who perhaps summoned him accidentally, by manipulation of someone behind the scenes.
𝄞𝄢 Archer is confident— even despite his cynicism, he is heroic. It’s a trait he cannot ever begotten of. There is this way that he looks at things with such a strong gaze, with his almost deadly determination. It feels you with confidence as well, seeing how capable he is. Is there anything this man ISN’T good at? His personality is hard to truly accept, but with the uplifting qualities of your presence and the understanding neutrality you possess, it feels to me you are someone who tries to accept different things. Even if you are not sure of its influence on you. That is both your “naïveté” and your strongpoint. That is also, the final nail that lands him affixed inside of that gaze in your eyes. And he knows it’s over, it’s over for him entirely. Even through all the complications and complexities of your relations, and how it would take to get to this moment, how much love it had taken.
𝄞𝄢 Begrudgingly lets you be as clingy to him as you want in any way… lie. It’s never begrudgingly. Tells you to be more aware of the time when you express affection towards him affectionately, embarrassed at the joyous laughs of your friends and acquaintances and becomes flustered. He cannot handle flirting with his life, and becomes stunned and red-faced at your unintentional, (to him) flirting.
𝄞𝄢 He also really enjoys housework.. so you know once you get him from uni, he already has a bath set out for you. He takes your chipmunk eating as a sign of you enjoying his cooking, and secretly preens while writing the fucking grocery list for next week (😭) A domestic, top tier husband who is surprisingly well open to new hobbies and finds interest in what you partake in. Role-playing? He has met a vast repertoire of people whom he could take inspiration from, and tell you stories and recounts of the lore in this world. Many video games take from mythology and have deep connections that can be seen even moreso when you understand those myths, and so, while huddling together and watching videos, he would give occasional brief references and explanations that make you “ohhhh!” And he feels almost prideful of making you awed. Absolute tsundere.
𝄞𝄢 To be loved is to be known. This love is like a raft that had endured the violent waves of the ocean, and crosses into a peaceful strait, bathed in the soft morning sunlight. You can hear the sounds of the wildlife all around you, but the most apparent thing is the warmth, like a bath in the winter that turns your joints to jelly, and making your heart ablaze. You let your head fall back, and the back of your head taps onto a solid chest. You tilt your head up in a daze, and you can feel a slight warmth of his breath on your lips as he tips his chin down and looks at you.
“Shhh…”
𝄞𝄢 It’s tender, oh, please. Let this last…
His vision pulses white, flashing with life. Inside him, the powerful saint graph roars into life, vicariously spreading feeling back into his numb fingers and feet.
This is.. Fuyuki? He could feel it in the wind, in the old lines and roots of the houses and power cables. The cicadas, the mountains..
On the ground, with baggy clothes, and the coloring of your hair.. it gives him pause suddenly, sending a ripple of realization inside of himself. A civilian, caught up between a war of desire.
Protection, you need protection.
“You must be my master.”
EXTRA:
You corrupted him. All those cuddling, all that close contact.. it’s made him like a heat seeking missile. He automatically seeks you out physically even unconsciously. When you collapse in his arms, he wraps his arms around you, letting your head fall in the crevice of his neck, a hand resting gently on top of your head and another across your back on your shoulder. Both of your eyes are closed, but you blink open as you feel something soft caress your forehead… lips..
“Welcome home..”
A sleepy archer is a best archer!! You can coax him to do so much things.
So protective, almost like a mother. Going out? Hold on, make sure your phone battery is charged so you can call him whenever. Wakes you up early so you could get the best deals and cuts of meat/seafood in the market, bargaining like some auntie until he gets the best deals, and gets you some food after.
Loves to hold your face. Especially squishing your face with a hand, and giving you duck lips. “Say that again,” He dares you. And you do.
RUNNER UPS…. Cu Chulainn. I really, really wanted to pair you up with Cu Chulainn too, he was my actual original pick. This is really a toss up, because I could see you with him soooo bad. Like this guy will light your life ablaze… and then the curse happens. But I think you need a little extra something to really overtake his heart into something more romantic, while Archer’s quiet intensity and excitement might drag you in. Play FGO, and see the events where he stars in. He’s so fucking fun, it’s insanity.
In FGO— my match for you would definitely be between Archer and Charlemagne, with Sherlock Holmes as a runner up!
[Small A/N] — Sorry for how long this took!! Unfortunately, I am not as adept as writing first impressions such as you, but I hope the reasonings all made up for that!! I hope you enjoyed!!
𝄞𝄢 Like a music box, heralding its playful sound even in front of strangers, curious yet not methodical, but still watchful; still forgetful. But I do not want to forget, I do not wish to forget..
To inhibit the sadness and to channel the aggression as happiness, to become happy, to be safe..
A beautiful sound plays and bubbles out, lonely without audience, but wishing for it, but not wishing for it— wanting to be pulled out of stasis, dreaming of the sky and the stars, but living within the present. Steadily gazing forward…
[♪ ༘⋆] who can understand this melody? it has to be that person…
HAIKYUU | FILE #2 | PART 1
USHIJIMA ★ WAKATOSHI
𝄞𝄢 I believe there is a very distinct oscillation within the fanbase upon how Ushijima is as a character, between some stoic, perhaps deathly dense, adult man, or some elitist who clings to the past— he is neither of those extremities, compounded within years of mischaracterization and projection. As someone who has also been attached to a negative image in your past and wishes to deviate from that time, there is something pulling at your heartstrings when you see him standing in lonesomeness. Here is something to remember: Ushijima is not entirely dense— he has a body thrumming with vitality and excitement as he feels the ridges of the ball upon his palm, and he has lived through enough to recognize a fact that he has understood even as a child: there had always been something that separates himself and his classmates, and this matter stems not from talent or birth, but of the self. And it is this that he also sees within you. It is only him, or rather, it is him who first gazes this inside of you. And I can tell this is the case, because you say that your best trait is how understanding you are, which, combined with your realistic pessimism, tells of a maturity that was brought together by the overcoming of external obstacles. And this is the understanding that Ushijima requires, that he wants. He doesn't want to be babied, he doesn't want a soft, gentle push by a friend or a lover. He cannot read himself well sometimes, and so listening to your skepticism and your blunt observations is something that means the world to him, because he knows of your honesty.
𝄞𝄢 Here is another thing to remember: Ushijima is by no means "taciturn" -- he is unfathomably, disproportionately passionate. He isn't intimidating because he is tall or because he is like a rock that cannot be overturned. He is intimidating because he is all of that and he has the most intense depth of glaze even looking at someone. It is this gaze that easily pulls over him once he becomes impassioned; it is this gaze that trails behind your visage, when he falls in love with you.
𝄞𝄢 You two have a myriad of intersecting similarities— you are both reserved, yet you just blossom into vibrancy in conversation. You are sincere and honest, just as he, but there is a different kind of sincerity that scuttles and scrambles for purchase… (endearing). It is a kind of sincerity that lights up your friends and family alike. You both have an appreciation of hot drinks and tea— yet your vast array of tastes and oddities in preferences do not stop to astound him. Yes— that might be the correct word for it. When Ushijima meets you, he is astounded by you. This is not an impression of astounding from a first meeting. It is an impression that continues to grow, and continues to become more and more fond. You are sometimes so withdrawn, but other times, so affectionate with your friends. You would even spend your time to dive into your friends’ interests, and then, when your passion overtakes you, you sometimes have outbursts of loudness that leave you slightly embarrassed. To Ushijima, you are someone who is so curious to him. A tender figure that is loomingly close despite physical distances. He cannot have a firm grasp on many personalities he has met, including Tendou, who guffaws and gestures wildly, but it has never given him such a squishy sensation in his heart. It's like he's meeting some fairy that is hidden in the garden, present, but not attempting to make their presence known. It has made him want to SEE this, want to encounter it in the past, not like competitions and tournaments. His gaze follows you at his peripheral, until he realizes he cannot be so rude as to not even speak to you, yet act so shamelessly with his gaze. It starts off very slight- he overhears a heated challenge from your friend aimed towards you, and you accept.
The window clatters. A yawn tumbles out of your chest, and an indistinct warmth slides into the seat next to you. Then, low, almost shy voice--
"Did you succeed?"
--This is...
𝄞𝄢 A few days later, he asks you of your status, curious to see your progress. And he is not intrusive, or overbearing, or hostile. Even before become physically close in any manner, there is this lack of psychological distance between the two of you, that make things feel new yet not intimidating. He holds everyone with such respect as persons, and this is very obvious with the way he treats Hinata upon their first meeting: he gets absolutely psyched when he sees that demonstration of athleticism. He doesn't like words. He loves actions, and you are a person of that action. Whether or not you believe it, it doesn't mean things like athleticism solely, but of the surreptitiously masked emotion that is behind your facial expression, of the pragmaticism in which you wield and concentrate under that pressure, the creativity in which you open your mind to various ideas and hobbies. He can see this action through the impacts it has had on your friends (your teammates in life, in a sense) rather than the visage of your face. He doesn't need you to express your emotions readily to him to understand you- he is incredibly considerate of your space and your time, feeling that it is very precious to you. I believe that it is through you which he starts to understand himself more, because your presence is like the drift of a refreshing wind that is blowing through his hair, making him turn his head to the sights that he didn't consider before, and letting him consider it carefully. He has this kind of stable presence that allows you to become more open and sincere, because he will not treat you any lesser for your opinions or your emotions. He will not treat you as a child or scold you for your forgetfulness or your clumsiness, but he will quietly show you how to do something, or learn it with you. When he sees that you need help, he silently offers it to you. Separated from friends in gym class, and need a partner? He's already there. Forgot to check the weather forecast and your friends had to leave earlier due to clubs? He hands one to you. And being with him is mundanely fun and silly, not just the idea of Ushijima himself doing something like playing video games or cooking, but of how he has this flaming passion that burns through his eyes at every goal-- and because he is so unironically funny. He's has humor knitted into his being or something: he has this deadpan reaction to everything that is just so slow and the comedic timing is always perfect, and he sometimes don't understand your references to memes and references, and he somehow always get into the most funny situations possible. His responses are also sometimes so forthright and so harmlessly misunderstanding that it's obvious how confused he is sometimes. It's no wonder why Tendou wants to be his friend. Like the fact that these two are very long term friends means that Ushijima has to be whimsical in some way to accept him so wholeheartedly. This man is patient, understanding, and sometimes he also needs help, and when this happens, you always help him, and somehow, he always brings the extroversion out of you. You are someone who does crave the intimacy of connections, but there are many days where you are not motivated for such long-winded conversation, but he projects a special kind of confidence onto you, and it makes you want to meet his expectations. It makes you want to see him smile in thanks. It makes him want to smile.
𝄞𝄢 In extension: he doesn't understand himself why or how he fell in love with you. It is just the pounding of his heart, the smile he has to fight back when he sees you, the anticipation of his time with you currently, and the curve of your own face. You don't need to smile or laugh or even talk to mesmerize him. He sees every bit of you, and he finds himself seeking your company. In a way, you can say that he falls because of every part of you. He is endeared by your love of animals and dragons or whichever fantastical creature to catch your attention (in a way, he feels like one himself) and he grounds you when you lose your balance, learning to twirl you around per suggestions from his friends. You incite feelings into him that he has not felt before, you make him want to talk with you and share with you what he most intimately has hidden inside of his heart. You make him feel seen and wanted, and he makes you feel like there is an adventure in every path into the future with his ambitions, which is written like stone with how steady he ensures the future beholds. He is someone whose eyes for the future you could trust. Someone who burns for your compassion, and becomes enraptured by it.
𝄞𝄢 As an athlete with discipline woven into his soul, he aches when he sees you in a daze or in pain.
Laggy shrimp? His brows knit together in a rare look of worry. Before you could react, he bends down, taking your spasming arm in his warm - you shiver - hands. His hold is so tender yet sturdy, pressing down to alleviate some of the pressure.
"Look." Something is pressed into the cleft of your palm, and there you see a tiny origami dino.
𝄞𝄢 Sometimes, he cheers you up in very heartfelt, deeply profound ways. A whisper in your ear while cuddling, tucking the dark hair out of your collar. Caresses above your lips.
He’s holding his hands out, as if gesturing for you to pull your hands from your winter jacket. The moment you do so, a stinging coldness penetrates into your skin, but then, they are brought into the pockets of someone else’s lapels. It’s much more warm than your own.
𝄞𝄢 His jackets are now your jackets!! Sometimes, he drapes his jersey over you, but he always gets scolded by the coach when it gets colder because what if he gets sick and can’t play?
𝄞𝄢 There is also the way you are so constructed around your passions, and this is also a matter that Ushijima loves- sharing the things that you love with one another. Supporting one another, being with one another, even if not physically.
𝄞𝄢 This man does not play about you. Forget about dates? Ignoring you? Not communicating with you? That absolutely never happens. He is always on time, and if he is not on time, something had to be physically stopping him from getting to you. His way of expressing his love to you is really nonlinear and it keeps you guessing, because sometimes he just randomly thinks of you, and he has to do something that reminds you of him. If he sees someone stuffing their mouth, he's just going to be reminded of you.
𝄞𝄢 Ushijima is grounded within his own being. He is confident within his own framework of the world, like holding an umbrella, and shielding those around him from the thundering rain. He cannot see further than where his vision ends, and he doubts the blubbering of possibilities, but with every step, his world is expanding, and he has an uncanny ability to adapt to it. Ushijima is not some dense, volleyball-obsessed creature. From when he lost that final match, he started to understand that he was missing something. And so, he had decided, he must study that something. He must see what exactly caused him to lose— was it his pride, so unyielding that someone could come up and drive Shiratorizawa off the podium? That is part of it, but it seems like there is something else entirely that he lacked. Something this team is lacking. A team’s weakness is his own weakness. Just like you, he places the emotions and expectations of others upon his shoulders, searching for an answer. Ushijima is a calculated observer-- and a sincere lover. When he sees an improvement, an achievement, he doesn't hold back his compliments and his sincere opinions, much less if it is yours. He doesn’t get jealous easily, and he knows of your endurance and strength; but his face grows worrisome when someone flirts with you, and he can’t help but declare, this is my partner. What is it that you want from them? Again, he’s not at all shy about expressing his admiration or his praises. If you joke about yourself to him, he will give you the most stern look, and then unexpectedly break into stating facts about you to prove you wrong. This man gets asked about your relationship from his teammates out of a place of teasing, and then he genuinely starts to talk about you and your reactions and what you’re doing, and a smile like slowly makes its way onto his face, and everyone is just sweating because why is he suddenly so talkative? Genuinely remembers every single fact you ever tell him about your favorite fixations and WILL bring them up randomly to those who are conversing with him. This is the kind of man who would and will carry a picture of you from a time you went on a date together to the amusement park in his wallet. Love just sneaks up on the both of you. When he confesses to you, it is not a planned confession. It is just on the tip of his tongue, after perhaps years of friendship and companionship, because it is so easy for him to adore you.
“Spend my life with somebody?” He pauses, thinking.
“—” Hearing your response, he suddenly frowned. Before he could think, the words had already tumbled from his mouth.
“I don’t intend to spend it with anybody but you.”
Then, he uncharacteristically clasps a hand over his mouth, stifling his own shock. Tuffs of hair tickling his ears, now red. They look hot to the touch.
𝄞𝄢 This love is not cotton candy, or the blossoms of a tree. It is the warm wind that rises in the transition of summer to autumn. It is the breath of living, when the trees shed anew.
𝄞𝄢 FIRST IMPRESSIONS....
A quiet… hm? Not so quiet classmate.
“Ciph? They’re so cold..” Cold? Have they seen you talk with your friends? Have they ever spoken to you?
When Ushijima meets you, he is abounded with the rumors from classmates whom share stories differing from the you he has seen. They seem to be true, yet not true at the same time. It perplexes him, but oddly enough, it draws his curiosity. What kind of person are you?
was wondering if you wanted to do a matchup exchange on magi labyrinth. (I really wanna do one with somebody for fun). (It’d ok if you rusty, I only just got back into magi recently too).
✧₊˚.⋆ your life in twisted wonderland for @fourtyfourcatss ⋆⁺₊✧
The world without magic, the world where humans are the only race, the world of high technology, smartphone and internet addiction. You were born in this world, in a regular family, and until some time, shortly before enrolling at the high school, lived a normal life, with its ups and downs.
Everything started with the mirrors. They were everywhere, on every side, and it seemed to be an integral part of the daily life of people. No one saw anything at all unusual about the mirrors, no one except you. Whenever you looked in a mirror, you felt like there was something on the other side of looking glass. It seemed that now you reach out, touch a specular surface and your hand would go right through. It bothered you, since your family, your friends, did not notice anything out of the ordinary. Especially disturbing to you was the mirror in your room that hazed over with a white mist every night. However once you touched it, even came closer, it turned to normal, as though afraid.
Following your investigative nature, you decided to find out what was going on. You observed the mirror in your room, you conducted research, you did a lot of things. There were several failed attempts to study this phenomenon, but one day you succeed.
One September night, waiting for your mirror started enveloping in a mysterious haze, you came closer. Strange thing, the mirror did not try to turn to normal, but on the contrary began to gleam. As if enchanted, you reached out and you touched the mirror, shocked to realize that your hand went right through it. You wanted to quickly withdraw your hand, but something grabbed it and sucked you into the mirror.
You took a step and nearly fell down as you was going through the looking glass. It literally took a few seconds and you already stood in a strange, unfamiliar place. There was another mirror behind you, something resembling coffins on the left and right sides, and a large group of people in robes in front of you.
Oh, dear lord, what you got yourself into this time?
As it turned out, you went through the mirror and ended up in another dimension, which was called Twisted Wonderland. Even worse, it was not possible to go back. At least that's what said Dire Crowley, a headmage of Night Raven College, a prestigious all-boys arcane academy in which you found yourself. Being a very gracious and generous man (self-proclaimed), Crowley let you to stay in the NRC while, in the meantime, he will investigate other ways to send you home.
The doors of Night Raven College are only open to students deemed to possess magical aptitude as determined by a magical artifact called the Dark Mirror. Neither a headmage, nor you expected that you, who were summoned here from another dimension, would have magical power. But you had, and it was a pleasant surprise when the Dark Mirror sensed a magic power from you and assigned you to the dorm.
The Dark Mirror observes the essence of your being to assign you to the dorm that resonates with your soul and then declares that the nature of your soul is...
🜲 Pomefiore
〝The oldest of the dorms and houses dorm for students who excel at potionology and curses, as well as cultivating a unique sense of style, based on the Fairest Queen's spirit of tenacity〞
Pomefiore dorm students are characterized by their dedication to self-betterment, appreciation of beauty, and pursuit of perfection. They are often skilled in potionology, curses, and poisons, and place a high value on maintaining appearances and elegance. Pomefiore is also known for its students' strong work ethic and competitive spirit. The reason why the Dark Mirror assigned you to this dorm lies in such your traits as ambitiousness and desire for self-improvement, creativity, love for art, writing and a developed sense of beauty, efficiency, desire to be productive and to use time intelligently. You might feel that this dorm does not fit your personality and lifestyle. However, Pomefiore is not about a bunch of creatures who are obsessed with looks. It is about accepting yourself, about self-improvement, about having great ambitions, about quiet passion, about seeing beauty in the things you like. Just like you they want to be productive, they want to achieve their goals and start to pressure themselves whenever they cannot do it. Keep in mind that Epel who is absolutely not interested in maintaining appearances and elegance was assigned to Pomefiore too. Not because the Dark Mirror was wrong (the Dark Mirror is never wrong), but because he embodies Pomefiore's essence to a tee. Pomefiore dorm based on the Fairest Queen's spirit of "tenacity", not her "sense of beauty", which means that this dorm places her determination to achieve her goals above all else.
You, your magic, your wisdom, your abilities embody the Magic Mirror of the Fairest Queen, that convinced the Dark Mirror that your home is Pomefiore.
It was rather hard for you to adjust yourself to way of life of Pomefiore students. Of course, just like them, you take care of yourself to maintain skin health, you maintain hygiene and dislike unhygienic people, but not to the extent they do. At first you felt a bit out of sorts, because their rules about maintaining appearances may have seemed like wasting your time and energy on things you do not think is worth it. Though, slowly but surely, you got used to it, and Pomefiore students warmed up to you too. Because not everyone were happy with your enrollment in NRC and their dorm from the beginning. You were from another dimension, not to mention that NRC was historically all-boys school, so some of them felt uncomfortable that a girl joined their college and their dorm. The special treatment by Crowley made some of student feel jealous. You got a separate room even though you were a first year, what a brazen girl! Not that they wanted you to live in all-boys room with them though.
The reason for their envy do not end there, because you get along with Vil and Rook, the most influential people in their dorm, and they obviously adore you and respect you. Some of Pomefiore students are surprised, they wonder what exactly you have done to earn their respect. Mostly because you seem like an ordinary girl. Of course, as soon as they get to know you better, all the questions disappear by themselves. Your passion, your goals and ambitions, your silly and adorable side, your wisdom and the ability to listen and give advice, all this makes your dormmates to respect you. Especially when you recommended some of them a really good skincare cosmetic that actually helped and worked.
When it comes to your relationship with the dormmates, as already mentioned, Vil and Rook are your closest friends. The three of you are third years, who spend a lot of time together. You also get along with your other dormmates, though, they (especially the first years) are a little scared to approach you, since they often see you with Vil or Rook. The most of them treat you with respect but do not rush to approach you. However, this changes slowly over time, because they also notice your silly side and appreciate the way you are always here to support and comfort them. Especially Epel who suffers because of Vil's strictness and often comes to you to complain about it. Your advices and the words of comfort never fail to make him feel better. It encourages Epel to stay himself and improve. Because of you he slowly starts to accept himself the way he is. But do not think that Epel comes to you only to complain! The two of you are actually a good friends who can goof around flying a drone, playing video games or watching some action anime and movies. He is like a breath of fresh air in the stuffy atmosphere of Pomefiore.

⊱ ۫ ׅ ✧ YOUR MATCH IS⟢ VIL SCHOENHEIT
♡ Your first meeting with Vil happened the same day that you transmigrated into Twisted Wonderland, when he was a first year student, who just enrolled in NRC. Appearing from the Dark Mirror in the midst of the entrance ceremony, you drew attention of everyone present. And Vil could not help but also wondered, who are you, how did you end up here, what this young potato does here, in NCR, all-boys school? Soon enough, he got all his questions answered, because you were assigned to the same dorm as he was, Pomefiore. The new student transmigrated from another dimension is, indeed, the shocking news. However, Vil just considered you a new potato in this dorm, a very brazen potato, to be exact, who not only joined all-boys school, but also got a separate room. Thinking about it too much was below his dignity, so Vil quickly put it out of his mind. Oh, how wrong he was when he found you too ordinary for his attentions.
♡ The two of you gradually came closer to each other. Your relationship developed slowly, evolvingly, becoming stronger through shared experiences, by spending time together at the school events, meeting each other at the dorm or during shared adventures. You really grew up in Vil's eyes, and one day he realized that he has a crush on you.
His crush is very subtle, unnoticed and unknown to others. It is expressed in a sincere smile that reserved only for you, accompanied with a random headpats, only you allowed to see him like this - so relaxed, so sincere, so... vulnerable. In the way he is less likely to scold you, because, deep inside, he finds all your quirks, your chaotic side, very adorable. Sometimes, Vil cannot control his face expression around you, his gaze softens and this loving sigh escapes his lips. He finds an incredible comfort in your presence, always coming to you whenever he feels down and needs your advice. But Vil not only complains, but also always here to listen to you, to remind you that you should take care of yourself, to take care of you, to protect you. Even though, Vil can be as strict as a strict mother, his strictness is clearly coming from a genuine concern.
♡ Vil did not rush things with you, but also did not delay with confession. He wanted to make sure that you feel the same way and that you feel comfortable around him. And as soon as he was ready, Vil confessed you. Though, it happened unplanned and unexpected for the both of you.
On this day, you and Vil studied together in the library. He was in a bad mood because of the manager's call. His manager offered him to appear in the another movie. Of course, as the main villain. And, of course, with Neige as a main protagonist. So your study session turned into a conversation about this in which you found a good words to comfort and support Vil that made him feel better. You never fail to make him feel better.
Vil's eyes widened a little, his mouth was slightly opened, but then a bright, sincere smile spread across his face. His hand moved instinctively, and Vil placed it atop your head, giving you a headpat.
"Oh dear", he sighed as his eyes found yours. There was something in Vil's eyes, something you'd never noticed before, and it made you feel goose pimples racing down your spine. "I was just wondering if you knew how precious you are to me?", he took your hands in his. "Would you like to go on a date with me?"
♡ Vil Schoenheit shattered the concept of "masculine" and "feminine", he widens the framework of this concept, he himself is an embodiment of the Fairest Queen and he is proud of it. So when you shared with him your worries about your masculine behavior, anxious about his reaction, Vil just smiled and gently chided you. He likes you for you, he finds everything about you precious and adorable, all your advantages and disadvantages. Because he knows that you feel the same about him. Vil is deeply impressed how you see him, just Vil, through his cold beauty and intimidating behavior, how you always find the right words to comfort him, how you push him to accept himself. You even do not know, do not imagine, how your presence affects him. You made him feel more confident about himself, become a healthier person. And, rest assured, Vil will do the same for you.
♡ Vil only wishes the absolute best for you and expresses it in the time he always finds to spend with you and in his slightly strict yet sincere care for you. Your relationship with Vil based on mutual healing and growth. You teach him how to live a little, that he is beautiful and amazing the way he is. Vil, in his turn, reminds you about healthy lifestyle, he prepares some healthy homemade yogurts and smoothies for you, he created skincare cosmetics special for you, knowing about your skin problems. He likes teasing you, but it is never sounds like mocking or bulling, but always filled with love and adoration. He likes when you tease him back, though, it is difficult to fluster him. Difficult, but not impossible. The day when you saw THIS Vil Schoenheit really flustered, you felt like this and randomly called him "cute" and "bitable" and told him how adorable he is in your eyes. He got used to be "the fairest of them all", to have ethereal cold beauty, but deep inside Vil was jealous of the way Neige is "lovable" and "adorable". So when you sincerely told him that you find a lot of things about him endearing and adorable, it caught him off the guard. For several seconds, Vil was at a loss for words and then blushed a little.
♡ The both of you know the value of time and want to be productive which leads to burnouts. Knowing about this problem, you and Vil try to help each other and remind of importance of rest. These days Vil enjoys joining your hobbies, he finds it very relaxing. After a rough day, the two of you prefer to lay on the bed, cuddling and reading books, with a sheet masks on your faces. Sometimes Vil plays video games with you and has a lot of fun doing it, sometimes the two of you do Lego. But more importantly, Vil wants to spend time with you, he wants to show you that you are important to him, to make you feel loved an appreciated. He genuinely likes when you join his ballroom dancing practice, there is nothing better than holding you close, swirling in a dance. Sometimes he cannot meet with you because of your busy schedules. But even then Vil often checks you out through chats. The chaos you created in chats brings a smile to his face. At such moments, people around him wonder what makes this Vil Schoenheit smile like a lovesick fool. Maybe he got a real good contract? Or he's planning to do something big? No, none of this. Vil Schoenheit is just... in love. And he adores his precious girlfriend way too much.

You and Vil are very important people to Rook and he is always here to support you two, to help you and to give a wise advice.
⟢ KALIM AL-ASIM is another good friend of yours. Being a ball of sunshine, Kalim easily became friends with you. It took not a lot of time for you to warm up to him too. Nowadays, Kalim often (every day) asks you to join his parties, he wants to show you many things like his animals, his favorite food, the parade, his magic carpet. Somehow, you remind him of Jamil a little, so calm, cautious and intelligent. And it made Kalim want to approach you even more. To you he is more like an adorable younger brother you want to protect. And indeed, there are so many people who try to hurt (even to kill!) him, and almost no one who really wants to hang out with him. So Kalim appreciates your presence very much. Not to mention that you are so cool and smart! You always help him with studying if Jamil is not here, you always warn him if you think that a person is suspicious. All this led to Kalim started developing a crush on you. Though, he is way too oblivious to realize it, thinking of you as his very close best friend. But when he found out that you and Vil got together, Kalim couldn't conceal his disappointment. He knew that this is a good news that his precious friend found her significant other, that he needed to celebrate it, but he just could not, because... He did not know why, and it made him even more disappointed. Crush or not crush, Kalim still is your good friend who is more than ready to give you everything he has. With time, he will realize his feelings, get over it and your friendship will become ever stronger.
⟢ LILIA VANROUGE is your older brother (parental?) figure, though, you still do not know why he acts like he is much older than you even though the both of you are juniors. Lilia has seen a lot of things in his lifetime, but this is the first time he meets a person from another dimension. So he naturally gets curious about you. Not that Lilia really tried to approach you often given the fact that you two rarely meet each other, only during some classes. Video games is something that brought you and Lilia closer together. Once you two found out about this shared hobby, you and Lilia started playing together and communicate more often through chats. Lilia is happy to learn more about your world, he also is always willing to help to find your way back if you want to. Even though he likes pranks and jokes, he would not do it if you feel uncomfortable about it. Thinking of you as a good and collected person, Lilia wants to introduce you to his little family, he thinks that you would be a good friend for them. Being much older than you, Lilia considers you an adorable younger sister, he does not open up to you, but he is always here for you.
Playing video games with Lilia means that you inevitably meet Idia. And even though you and Idia do not meet each other often in real life, you two even do not know about each other's true self, you two are a really good internet friends. Idia is much more talkative online, he likes talking to you and yapping with you about random things. You, Lilia and Idia often play online games together and it brings you all a lot of joy.
⟢ DEUCE SPADE is your precious younger brother figure you want to put in your pocket and bring around with you always. He is just so adorable, it gives you cuteness aggression every time you see Deuce. To him you are an amazing and capable senior that he respects very much. The way you are always among the top best students impresses Deuce even more, he wants be just like you. In his eyes, you are an embodiment of diligent student he admires. Deuce is awkward when it comes to communication with girls, so at fist he did not even know what to say when you started talking to him. But with time he got used to it and became more comfortable around you. Deuce often asks you for help with studying or comes to you for advice, your explanations are amazing, so Deuce's grades started improving. In his turn, Deuce is very courteous and attentive to you, trying to help you whenever he can do it. If you feel bad or hit "the wall", Deuce would take you out for magic wheel ride and do his best to make you feel better. Yes, he is awkward, but all his actions are filled with sincerity.
⟢ DIRE CROWLEY is your parental figure, though a little irresponsible. He assumed mentorship over you from your very first day at NRC and, in gratitude for care for you, Crowley often asks you for help. All these tasks are very random and sometimes it annoys you. But it does not mean that all Crowley does is using you. You are such an excellent student that will surely bring fame to Night Raven College, so Crowley always takes care of you and reward you for your hard work. With time, he actually got attached to you. It is very subtle, but still obvious for these who know Crowley well. He often praises you and set an example, he less likely gives you an uncomfortable work or forces you to do something you do not want to do. Other students keep saying that he is biased, but... You are one of his best students, right? He is also like your father in Twisted Wonderland? So... Why not? Jokes aside, Crowley is very proud of you and wishes you only the best.
I finally have the time to reply to this… but omg.
Tilli, this was so in depth, so accentuated, meticulous and minimalistically styled. Your writing style has grown a lot with every matchup you do, and the backstory absolutely pulled me into the rest of the YLIF! You manage to really think of things that I don’t usually think of when it comes to making these matches! You’re the one who is very admirable in these details. The mirrors truly do remind me of Alice in wonderland. Fun little fact; when I was thinking of your backstory and your powers, I was very slightly inspired by the end of the legend of Arthur, where a figure, usually a fairy, takes him into Avalon after his death. So I’d imagine your powers of absorption to be similar to barriers of water ripples! Alright let’s get back into the match..
I knew I was going to be in Pomefoire when you asked me about makeup! You praise me a lot for getting to know people before writing matches, but you usually do the same right after! You read me extremely well for this one, especially for self improvement. I definitely need some Pomefoire magic in my life. I love the little relations in the dorm… yes, go forth my son Epel…
The unique magic is unexpected! Love the tie in with the magic mirror of the Queen, omg. “More importantly, you always see the truth in all things, in all people and, being honest, never sugarcoats this truth, just like the famous Magic Mirror that always told the Fairest Queen the truth, no matter how painful it is.” THIS LINE!!!
I was NOT familiar with your writing game girl?
LEONA that boy pmo so much omg 😅 i know damn well he would dislike me because I would be slandering him in class. And ohhh I should’ve also thought of the events during these points!
VIL???? You see it didn’t make much sense to me before I read this, but honestly… yeah. If he’s ok with a potato like me then I think we would have a very healthy relationship with each other, and YES I DO FIND HIM CUTE LOL. I think that a lot of people find him cute just for his maternal attitude sometimes— he’s cute every other time too!! It reminds me just a tad bit of my older sister and her attitude, so it’s just nostalgic to me. And the ship tropes!! I have to admit, I was grinning while I was reading everything, and I smiled even harder when I got to the ship tropes because it’s just so him. Thank you for doing this matchup with me, seriously.
The relationshipssss good god I can see this all happening. I would definitely love listening to all of the tea Rook ends up catching because of his creepy little stalking hobbies… KALIM??? With a crush? Poor baby :( but we will definitely be good friends!! I love sunshine people, absolutely my favorites since I absorb some of that energy. Lilia too!! And online friend Idia omg 😅😂 that checks out a LOT. I would never introduce him to my other friends online, but perhaps Lilia can handle what the hell comes out of their mouths 😨
YES I DO WANT TO BRING DEUCE AROUND IN MY POCKET. Pulls deuce out. This is my son. He is my pride and joyyyyyy. I would be so supportive of this child.
And finally, Crowley!! I have a friend who acts exactly like this man and I cannot with him every timeeee, and it’s ok. You can call him extremely irresponsible because he is!!! You’re too kind…
Again, thank you for doing these matchups with me Tilli!!! I love it so much! You call me talented, but lol, look at yourself and what you did!
The scent of the morning dew, which traces the veins upon the leaf’s visage, and falls onto the ground, onto the soil. The liquid scatters, and breaks into pieces, becomes born again and again…. You are not just the dewdrop, but the wind which carries its sweetness into the air.
[‧₊˚❀༉‧₊˚.] TWST [#] FILE 1
All fae, without fail, must be categorized dependent on subspecies. It is not under the guise of partisanship, but a classification born from necessity. Within both the nocturnals and the diurnals, certain individuals hold phenotypes which closely resembles that of natural organisms within nature […] (PG. 48)
Many diurnal fae possess insectoid, ellipse-shaped wings. Those without a keener eye may classify each and every one of these wings into that of a butterfly’s… however, there is no denomination for the common fae wing. Many may even take it as offense. Let this be a warning to those who visit…. (PG. 372)
In fact, butterfly wings are the showings of noble blood. The Fairy Queen who resides in Faeland possess these wings. They are not simply designated as such so due to its shape, but due to the properties of the wings… with a simple shake, glitter-like light could be extracted from the wings, which for diurnal fairies, possess a penchant for healing, and cradling nature… (PG. 379)
— VOLUME 1. “THE FAECYCLOPEDIA.”
Glass chimes echo under the noon sun, akin to a whisper. They hung far, far above the kingdom—which is half melted into the nature that pulsates underneath the earth—and on the ancient trees which looms above like towers. They encircle the kingdom almost like protective walls, with gaps between them leading outwards into waterways to other lands.
It is almost like a marsh. Water is built into the very foundation of your homeland, and it runs through the entire city like a chain, above houses, beside houses, underneath them. At the very center of the kingdom, there is a brilliant castle. This castle is both where the ruler of your country lives, and in addition, a school for the aristocracy and the talented that you have attended from a young age. Just like this interconnected city, the country’s most important assets are bonds. In this time, you have made many friends from different spheres of this country. You were praised by many for your listening. In fact, listening is a skill that many do not truly develop in full within the world. The ability to take everything in by the expression of sound and comprehend it consistently— that is the essence of understanding. And you understand so much— where, you have started to think you just hear the whispers of the reeds that tells you the direction you should take for the shortest pathways to your destination, or your pen, which sometimes looks at your homework and tells you the answer. But this is never constant, never overwhelming, and its brevity makes you feel like it was a figment of your imagination. It does not happen day to day, or hour to hour, but arbitrarily.
Maybe because of the water, your light wetland fairy ancestors decided to settle there. Your wings are translucent, with a shape akin to Green Moss Peacocks, and patterns akin to a Blue Morpho. Like satin. It is a beautiful, unique wing, which you have learned to groom delicately to preserve it’s natural appearance. Of course, you also had the ability to fly, your wings more suitable for balance and for stamina rather than speed.
Your professors and tutors were always satisfied with your magical prowess, but the most distinctive feature you have had is with magical sensitivity towards it. You found out later that, you were a child who could listen to words from nature itself— almost like a druid. This was a well-kept information that your parents wanted you to privatize. So, even during the horse-riding classes, or history lessons, politics, tea preparations, magic seminars, and many, many other classes that have been conducted to you, your discipline never let this factor slip. It was not surprising to your parents when a pixie dropped a correspondence to them at court, notifying them of your acceptance to…wait, NRC? Not… not RSA?
Isn’t most of the faes in NRC nocturnal? A relative asked them. Would that… be dangerous?
No, more importantly, are they not a boys school?
It turns out, NRC is changing. They want to extend their outreach to girls as well, and have been sending out invitations to young ladies with magical promise to both attend the school and to aid them in trial runs to ensure it is more suitable to open up the school to girls in the next years. You are one of the select patches they deemed mature and responsible enough in order to attend. Of course, this is all with permissions from their families! And not only that.. isn’t this an opportunity to go out and meet new people? Well, whether or not you were convinced by the reasons your mother had presented to you, it is an opportunity for learning that is difficult to rescind.
Thus, with the following school year, you pack your bags, and the black carriage lifts you away from your homeland…
You have arrived in Night Raven College…
“State thy name.
“I understand… The shape of thy soul is…”
♤♡♢♧ HEARTSABYUL
A dorm based on the Queen of Hearts' spirit of strictness. Twisted from Alice in Wonderland.
♤ The dorms are sorted based on primary philosophies— after researching various interpretations of these philosophies—Heartsbyul is the truest dorm to your heart. This may seem a bit unfitting. But I do not fit into either a lawmaker, nor a chaotic student… to fall into these extremes is to ignore the vast majority of students within the dorms. A better word for “strictness” is actually routine, orderliness, integrity, morality, giving. What many ignore about the importance of the existence of the law and those who enforce it, is that while it can be enforced from arrogance and the drunkenness of power (as with riddle…) it is profoundly, at its foundations, a concept to regulate, for self control, to care about the people and their wellbeing. It is very, very difficult and overextending to give care to everyone and to make sure they are doing what is right for their own sake. Maybe you would expect this to get into living a calm life, but orderliness is not always forceful— it is a prerequisite to living a calm life. In the dorm, you are a naturally necessary part of this, a mediator, an empath, who is able to insert the emotions of humans into the law. After all, there is so much different degrees of murder, just like the subjectivity and circumstances which lie behind every action. The law itself recognizes such. Many students within Heartsbyul, like you, want to live their lives in their own form of peace after achieving their goals. There is a great placement in “futures” when it comes to this dorm, whether it be to change yourself or to change something within your life.
♡ You yourself is someone with strong impressions about the way you feel about certain things. You are naturally tolerant and accommodating, and adept at seeing misdemeanors and demerits. You are diligent and thoughtful, not wishing to make a fuss about situations that doesn’t have to involve such. At the same time, you are that child who probably wanted to be praised by those around you. A student like you is a perfect example for what the essence of Heartsbyul should be like. If you were a year older or younger, than it would’ve been highly likely that you would have become the prefect of Heartsabyul, even if you would not want to. As a fair and equitable student, even those older than you may feel like they are younger than you due to your personality… “A very cute and elegant classmate,” writes a note from an underclassman, “seeing her work hard and help others makes me a little embarrassed, and I think I’m torn between curiosity on how she tutors and not making a fool of myself.”
♢ Yet, like many of the other members within your dorm, there is a smaller degree of shared similarity; your integrity to what you believe in, and as you’ve said, an unintentional imposition of views. This makes me believe that it fits even more, due to the factor of how people tend to correlate strictness and rules with negative perceptions, one of which, is the lack of openness in laws… but that is not always due to a wish to, but in actuality, a lack of additions. Rules change, laws change, all the time. It may be harder to do so, and it may seem one sided, but many times, at its core, it was made for order. Heartsabyul is a dorm with creatures of their own order, marching to their own drums. The Unbirthday Party (which you appreciate the sentiment of.. but the traditions!! It makes no sense, especially the way they brush all those harmful substances onto roses! Did they know how much you tended to them when you came here?), the Magicam posts that Cater sends daily, Ace and Deuce’s antics… Riddle himself. And then, you. It is diligence, cultivation of living.
-> I feel like people would put you into Diasomnia merely because of ELEGANCE or NOBILITY.. but I think that’s very surface level. Diasomnia’s nobility is, without exceptions, oppressive in some way about a fragment of a character; by this I mean there is always, always something that is not in view (like silver), that motivates their entire beings— in Diasomnia, that nobility is actually ascertained to a kind of pride, not just malicious or suppressive but oppressive in their past. I don’t actually think I described it well, but that would definitely be the runner up if it weren’t for the fact that Heartsabyul exists.
♧ WHAT DOES YOUR DORMMATES THINK OF YOU? (This will be relatively shorter because I want to put more energy and effort into your relations section, lol.)
♧ CATER is an upperclassman that you aren’t too familiar with, but relations are always amiable due to his easygoing and outgoing nature, and due to your respectful and pleasant demeanor. He thinks that you’re a very good girl that the dorm can really rely on, and there is some skincare and hair care recommendations from him now and then.
♧ TREY is actually very much fond of you. He’s a considerate person, who is actually a little akin to a “mentor” (upperclassman) here to you. He makes sure to consider your allergies and preferences if he knows you will come over to their little section of the dorm (since it’s separated by gender), and he is the one who shows you around campus and tells you of the classes that you will be taking, alongside some little tips for dealing with the teachers.
♧ ACE has never been fond of anyone at first, and that was exacerbated even moreso when he met you. In fact, this is the relationship that I believe may be the most conflicting within your stay here. Ace can respect you, but he does not take kindly to some of your traits. Motherly? Like a big sister? He’s the kind of man who already lashes out whenever he is mocking— he doesn’t like it when people try to give their version of advice to him, because almost always, he sees it more like a lecture instead. Even if you do not, it’s unpleasant for him to not want to make you feel uncomfortable in anyway from his antics, but that also leads to a suppression in himself. I believe you two have very dissimilar kind of perspectives on subjects, and it may make both of you uncomfortable at times because it is not merely some kind of difference in opinion, but perspective. Ace is like a little brother with a somewhat jabbing relationship with you. He does not take kindly to some of your traits, but that doesn’t mean it’s all of them. Your insight, your empathy, your perspective, your compassion, your desire for friendly relations, your diligence, your quietness; he can respect and admire many things about you. It’s just that he is very crass, and that is something which you can tolerate, but not truly like about him, even if you do like his heart and his actual beliefs at their core. Other than these times, your relationship is very harmonious. He’s extremely chaotic, and sometimes a disturbance, but it’s very fun to be around them (but too much is also too much!) He would like it if you were let loose a little more, is his opinion. He finds you very funny in the way you talk about certain matters, like your physicality, when you are comfortable.
-> I would explain more about this in depth, but I think it’s best to keep the more conflicting relations at bay. I don’t think I would get along with everyone people within twst either— Ace is probably your only exception.
♧ RIDDLE is someone who you have sort of “business-like” relations with; if there exists some kind of co-prefect, you would be part of it. There is great respect between each other, both as individuals and as magicians… which is why sometimes the two of you sour each other’s moods the most during disagreements. It is not as harsh as you may imagine it to be— it’s barely something to get very angry over. However, he appreciates all you do for the people around you, and to be honest.. he is also a little soft on animals. Chen’ya is probably the reasoning behind it. So there are times where you stumble upon this soft side of him.
♧ DEUCE will be saved for the relationships section!
“A match? Yes, there is one for you.. he who you see; who loves to be seen by you..”
❀༉ Foremost— love has no reason. There is no rationalization for love, there is almost no reason for it. So Silver doesn’t exactly know how he fell in love with you. He simply did.
❀༉ Silver is not an aggressive man. He is not an inconsiderate, crass, insensitive, nor boorish person. There is this compassion that he holds in his position not just as a result of the duties he has, or partially to coincide with the factor of his birth as a human, but rather, an almost selfless nature as a result of love. In fact, he is someone who is out of touch with his own emotions and his constituency as a result of this— which is why the two of you became attracted (platonically) to one another from your very first meeting. There are more sides to him than he shows—like with how he banters with Sebek, and how he reacts to Sebek in his weird little ways in attempting to cheer him up. He sees through these little actions, and has never taken them for granted. Yet, many others do not do this for him. He is seen as stoic and cold, like a robot. He is frustrated by his seemingly short span on earth compared to his liege and his father, and he does not want to burden or bring ill to the names of those whom he loves. He is struggling in these quiet ways— which is why, your ability to discern him with those soft, yet sometimes embarrassed eyes is what makes him feel flustered around you. In fact, as he begins to know you and understand you more and more, he starts to find it endearingly cute. It’s much more difficult to orient his attention when he is around you, but it seems to feel much more and more and more comfortable. He literally finds himself in love suddenly, thinking, “is this love?”
❀༉ I believe you are like a soft balm into his life, like a petal that falls from a blooming tree onto a lake. At first, it is unnoticeable, but soon, he cannot ignore the ripples that have found its way towards him. In many ways, he greatly admires your ability to have people understand your good intentions, your good deeds—to put so much effort into allowing people into your life and cherish those relations, he understands how important that is, and he is perplexed on exactly how you do so. There is this level of understanding and warmth that you hold that he doesn’t find anywhere, a kind of softness that makes him want to help you, to protect you. How this relationship starts is, perhaps, you are trying to figure out the schedule of what birds appear while birdwatching, and he, seeing this, shares with you the times each kind of birds may usually frequent. Then, he will stay with you and watch as your eyes light up very subtly with awe and surprise as it actually happens. The two of you are both remarkably in tune with nature, the way you hear the whispers of the grass and the trees as the wind drifts, and the way birds and squirrels cutely pile up around him while he sleeps… There is gentleness everywhere, like spending the afternoon reading/researching outside, and just being by his side. The reason why this relationship works so well is that there is a withholding of judgment on both sides, and the level of consideration and care both of you have and receive from each other. People may insult you based on your sensitivity, or delusional from the way you say that you seem to feel even animals and plants’ emotions like they are your own, yet Silver would never hold such thoughts within his mind nor emotions. In fact, you are the one who digs out his emotions. He is almost always tense, so it disarms him in a very nice and freeing way when you tease him, and he suddenly bites back with something that he does not expect. Loves to go along with your humor. Loves it even more as he sees the humanitarian side of yourself—the way you love bonds, you love people, the way you love the little mundane things that people find boring, the world around you which you perceive and cherish— he has to hold the side of his chest when these emotions swell up, leaning against a wall.
❀༉ Protective yet, he wants to see different parts of you too— he has this effect on you where it makes you feel invited into action as well. By this, I mean his love which mobilizes his sense of duty, and his struggles with his sleeping that constantly beholds him that becomes a moving force to your heart. You want to help him, and he wants to help you. He doesn’t take the place of some kind of knight in your life, because he doesn’t want to make you believe it is his ethics which powers his actions towards you, but firstly, his admiration of your lifestyle and your diligence, and then friendship— and then, suddenly, his love. Seeing what he does makes you unconsciously relax from being “bossy”, and helps you reflect often. Everyday, you are reminded of his willpower and his strength, and it inspires you to take action too. And you, you open up doors for him that he didn’t think to exist, a keen mind for detail which you bring such a tender perspective to life he did not realize before. When he had broken down, it is your hand which helps ground him in the truths that he had been missing. He himself has a great outlook on the overall picture of things, great knowledge upon all that is pragmatic. It feels as if you are both entering a new phase of your lives by just being around one another. There is a great, great deal of appreciation from both sides that is utterly tender to see, because he shows his love with his commitment and his actions, and you do not need words of praise to understand love. He will look at you, he will hold you if you wish. He will not try to fold or bend you to his liking, because he will extend the same kind of empathy and emotional strength you have. This maturity between both of you are so stable and so evident that it is very clear to others as they see you. It actually makes Ace jokingly gag (before I drag him away to stop his foolishness). He becomes impassioned easily when he sees your visage, and it’s very surprising how much outward passion can be expressed in silence between the two of you. Its a tremble underneath your skin, inside your heart. Once again I will articulate this— you make him feel things he usually does not feel, not just as a result of this, but also when he sees injustices committed against you. There is a deep, seething anger that he had not felt for the few times his father was insulted in front of him as a result of being a nocturnal fae. The audacity-! Yet, he does know you have it handled particularly well when it comes to those who act so negatively. You are so strong in your own way, and— he adores it.
❀༉ Actually, quite enjoys the lack of makeup. One of the things he loves to do is waking up from a nap, and seeing you have fallen asleep near him, and stroking the swell of your cheek with his thumb. You cheer him up greatly with your sympathies and your comfort, and he is very awkward in his attempts to do the same. The most he can do in his opinion, is his encouragements. He has this way of making you feel confident to do something— here is how you can do this, here is how you can avoid this, not in a “you’re incompetent” kind of way, but like he is guiding you through a task you are unsure of. He has a kind of straightforward boldness that you won’t expect him to have, and the way his action speaks over his words is filled with so much integrity—it makes you want to drop a little hug, or even a kiss. He is so gallant?! So sincerely, so loving— and he will make sure you know that too. He may be stiff, but he isn’t afraid. Helps you out on whatever you seek to do, and makes time within his schedule for you, always. This is actually such a huge thing for him to do. Takes care of you when you get sick with meticulousness, holding your hand and changing the towel pressed on your forehead. You have become part of his dreams, part of his life, part of his heart. He absolutely aches for you, and he feels for you. He wants to be with you all of the time, but he is also quite a bit too embarrassed to admit it, feeling clingy. He makes you feel really good about yourself, and sometimes, there is words of praise that sticks right into your heart with a soft smile! He can’t hold anything back.
❀༉ He is actually very great at expressing his love through his acts of services. Paying attention to all your needs, all your preferences, all the small details, playing with your dog and cat. This is the kind of man, who, if you plant a tree with him and a storm occurs that would uproot that tree, would go outside and guard it from the wind, haha! Well, magic exists, so it’s much easier to just transport them inside, but he is also a bit of a dreamer. He thinks a lot about internships that you two might want to take in order to lessen the distance between the two of you, he thinks about what you two might do in the future, but he never rushes or burdens you. He looks out for you, and makes sure to take care of whatever he knows you’ll miss. ♡ He’s going to show you all of the spots where you’d see the most magical sceneries, and, it is likely in one of those places where he finally confesses his love to you.
“—“
You pique up at his sleep talking, dusting off the leaves that had fallen onto your shoulders, and a bird flies by, dropping off a flower onto your head. It falls down, and the magic of that moment somehow makes you stunned by his beauty. Suddenly, you are too embarrassed to look at his face. Silver shuffles around slightly, before his mouth opens—
And your name echoed in that forest. It was spoken tenderly, lovingly, as if he beheld something utterly irreplaceable in his dreams. It must’ve been much quieter than it was, due to the pounding of your heart.
❀༉ RUNNER UPS ★ JACK HOWL, DEUCE SPADE
Dances with you often, slowly, romantically. There is something about dancing which allows him to cradle you, and his strong arms makes you feel secure and warm. You are also the kind of couple that, likely, Silver has caught you several times before if you ever tripped.
He gets so frustrated at times due to his spells of falling asleep when he’s next to you that he ends up asking everybody he knows, and online, about “how to stay awake more often when I’m around my girlfriend”. He’s been speedrunning through the every single method and you CANNOT talk him down until he was laying in the infirmary. Silver please….
Daydreams about you often. It usually isn’t anything specific, it’s just seeing you, perhaps while listening to music that you have played before.
If you call him darling, he will actually explode. This is the only time where his face turns entirely red, instead of how he blushes with his ears.
Your family really adores him.
— RELATIONS ★ [now, I want to say this may be a little messy in organization, but I hope you don’t mind!]
★ DEUCE SPADE is literally your biggest fan. When you appear he legit reacts like this.
(Bro)… it’s so obvious that he is very much crushing on you to everyone else but you (at first). There is a good reason why he is a runner up. If it weren’t for the fact that you are unable to disassociate his image with a younger brother in your head as a result of his traits, he might’ve been a much more desiring prospect… You are the most beautiful, reliable, intelligent, beautiful, caring, elegant kind, charming—(did he mention beautiful???) woman this boy has ever met. He’s legitimately the kind of person to think to you when he’s in a bind, and thinks, what would you do if you were here? Deuce is the kind of guy who sees you interacting with the nature around you and immediately blurt, “Ci-Cinderella?” Beyond meeting each other within the confines of your dorms, you often tutor him in magic and musicology, patient despite how difficult it is to him to be able to comprehend conceptual subjects. When he scores good, you are the first one he lets know! And when he is down, he is afraid of bumping into you, out of fear that he would bother you. He is your number one defender. He already would ride at dawn for the mc, so just imagine that support and multiple it by ten, and that’s the amount of sweetness this man displays at you. You may not return his feelings, but it is not as if his feelings towards you is shallow enough he would become bitter. First and foremost, you two are friends, and while he is also rather chaotic, he is also mindlessly endearing and not very exhausting by himself. Your friendship is due to last for a very, very long time. An extremely supportive, caring friend.
★ LILIA VANROUGE is overjoyed whenever he sees you. He’s quite a bit of an old man, and not only can he appreciate your good-natured presence, but also the way you approach Sebek, which makes him laugh, even if you don’t understand what is so funny about it. He doesn’t notice when you fall in love with Silver, but he does notice Silver falling in love with you, and he does not let up about it to his son. He’s a little too entertained by it. Absolutely tries to set his son up, because he knows he chokes up easily—and he does this in the most embarrassing ways. You and Silver have been caught up in the butt of his pranks for a long while— being wrapped up in ribbons together after stepping on a tripwire? Oh, that’s his bad yes.. Though, he always makes sure to back off to make sure boundaries aren’t crossed. But oh, it’s so fun to watch Silver’s ears turn red so easily, glancing away to displace the passion in his heart… Ahem, he’s getting a little carried away. However, he’s going to be somewhat intrusive in the way that he tries to see the progress between you and Silver. He has to cheer him on!! He’s going to mark down your anniversaries, he’s going to be the ones fueling Silver’s imagination with wedding dresses— what kind of venue would it be? What dress? What flowers? Shall we incorporate some doves within the reception? And what he loves doing is baiting Silver out to respond to these questions, and then he nods and grins and writes everything down. Poor Silver…
★ MALLEUS DRACONIA is your closest confidant in NRC. Not just his charm, but his diction and the very way he holds himself speaks of nobility. You find yourself taking a great deal of his advice, and he finds himself enjoying the pleasantness within your company. When you find out he is the only one in the Gargoyle Research club, (1) you are shocked that club existed, because you have never heard of it (else you might’ve joined sooner!) and (2) how is he the only one in that club! The next day, your application to the club is submitted, and Malleus is overjoyed. You’re a levelheaded and composed mage, talented and yielding, who he shares many overlapping opinions with that he cannot find so easily within the school, and even in most of the world! The two of you oftentimes have tea parties (courtesy of you and Heartsabyul) and it would be filled with discussions and conversations regarding various topics and books you both have been exposed to, or, if you have any recommendations, he is not undisposed to romance novels either. Your interest in his species is very pleasantly shocking to him, and he will enthusiastically respond and explain anything it is you wish to know. Sometimes, there would be chess matches! A lot of bantering and cheek that you wouldn’t usually bring to the table is let out here. And— he too, enjoys watching the romance between you and Silver play out. If the two of you ever have a child as a result of union, there is most definitely a quiet demand in his eyes to become the godfather. If Silver’s love language is acts of services, Malleus and Lilia both want to spoil you a little bit, since you do so for everyone else. Silks, clothes, food, etc.
★ SEBEK ZIGVOLT is actually also a close friend, but it takes a little while to get there. I believe your relationship with him is actually the most humorous. I’m not sure how to completely describe it, but he is actually fine with your friendship and the friendly teases with his liege—however, he is the kind of person to be internally jealous of your closing relations with Silver, but this is very slight, and there is more of a slightly “is that so?” Kind of smile on his face. After all, even if he is bashful to admit it aloud, he and Silver are practically brothers, and he is very proud of him. Though, why it is humorous between the two of you is a result of the fact that he is very.. vigorous, many of the times, and this vigor falls short in your reactions towards him. I believe he is easily embarrassed by the cordial way you respond. And he gets more and more impassioned the more it happens because he’s disarmed— and you end up laughing at how endearing he is because you could see most of his words is out of concern. He’s actually very respectful once he gets to know you, and it’s very easy to talk with him because he does feel guilty about his attitude towards you.
★ PROFESSOR TREIN knows you are an absolute delight to have in classes. I feel like you remind him of his daughters, and he has to still himself because he reminds himself he should not ever play favorites. He’s glad that you prioritizes your health, because while most of the students here are absolutely the antithesis for diligence, he has seen a few extremely hard workers pass out from the stressors they go through. And, it is merely a plus that you get along with Lucius so well. The little guy likes you a lot, and many times will wander off towards you in the middle of class for some affection. On the days where his cat is particularly active, you always manage to find him and return it to Trein. Wonderful student.

[#] UNIQUE MAGIC
“Let the mind and heart be still, let the water return to the springs and the light return to earth…”
“(No Harm Shall Reach You Here) Let it Return!”
➣ DESCRIPTION.
The user absorbs attacks of any nature (hexes, curses) unharmed and completely redirects a different version of the spell back to its sender by releasing their own intent.
During this process, a calm, aura of peace calms down emotional turmoil within a certain radius of the user. Minor wounds and weaker emotional pain are healed, and hostile intent is lessened.
In short— it is an influence of projection of emotions. Allowing the user to, if they have enough confidence, to take control of the situation and set it straight for as long as hostility remains.
Unique Magics are lowkey two things. 1. A reflection of the user. 2. A reflection of what the user wants. The combination of this is what truly brings together a unique magic.
