Matchup Trade For the Exceptional @lyneira / @ne-nene-ne
disclaimer that this is my first time doing one of these but it was genuinely a lot of fun on my end!! i hope you enjoy reading through this and that i wasn't too far off with any of my picks lol
Your STAND — Night at the Symphony ♫
This STAND is named after Night at the Symphony by Laufey, which contains one of your all time favorite songs, Let You Break My Heart, so I really wanted to incorporate that into your STAND.
In terms of appearance, I imagine this STAND having something like a Venetian Carnival aesthetic, drawing from your love of opera and classical arts. A mask for a face would be really cool (insert The Phantom of the Opera reference lol). I also think it would be interesting if your STAND had strong “diva” energy, contrasting with your shy and reserved personality. It would basically be the manifestation of your confidence on stage rather than off it, since fighting would feel like a performance for it.
In terms of ability, I imagine it being tied to sound and the emotional resonance of the song. You would need to be the one singing, and depending on what you sing, the effects change. When you sing, the vibrations or sound waves come directly from your STAND and appear like pale, glowing rings extending outward, though only within a fairly short range.
For instance, singing a long, sustained note can interrupt people’s attacks by slowing their movement. If someone is swinging something at you, it’s like they’re trying to move through water. This can also apply to people in your vicinity that you can’t see, so if someone tries to sneak up behind you, you’d have an easier time dodging them.
Short, sharp notes (like staccato) produce small bursts of invisible force that can push people away from you. They’re basically like quick sonic punches.
If you sing something soothing and light, it can emotionally resonate with people and influence their mood. If someone has a strong intention to hurt you, you might be able to momentarily sway their mindset, giving you time to collect yourself and follow up with another move.
Its passive abilities include being able to tell if someone is lying (since you tend to take things at face value, this would really come in handy) and sensing underlying fear or nervousness just by listening to the pitch and vibrations of their voice. Your hearing would also naturally be enhanced.
Your weaknesses come from the fact that this STAND is close- to mid-range and more defensive than offensive. However, it works well as support for allies and, more importantly, it can protect you. The abilities can only be activated when you sing, and opponents who make it so they can’t hear you—or who are simply out of range—won’t be affected.
Below is a moodboard of the design/aesthetic I had in mind. :))
Appearance Matchup — Caesar Zeppeli 🫧
The two of you would make a rather dashing couple appearance-wise. His wardrobe is full of bright colors, and he has a gentlemanly vibe about him that I think would complement your soft, “girly-girl” aesthetic, which you seem to favor. Even if you were to switch up your style, I think he would bend to compensate, he’s a romantic like that. Just imagine the two of you walking the streets of Italy arm in arm, you in a flowy dress and him in his pink scarf and baby blue jacket.
Sibling — Kakyoin Noriaki 🜼
Kakyoin is your older brother—gentle and always understanding, never one to raise his voice at you, especially since you’re younger than him. Because his STAND manifested early, he didn’t have many human friends growing up, so after you were born, the two of you became incredibly close. To everyone else, he can seem distant, even a little haughty and prideful, keeping most people at arm’s length apart from you and, later, the Stardust Crusaders. With you, though, it’s different. The two of you share inside jokes, and he always cracks a smile at your basic but charming wordplay. He’s the kind of guy who would drive you anywhere you wanted to go and sternly remind you when your curfew is approaching.
The two of you rarely argue. On the rare occasions when you do, you’re always the first to give in, heading straight to your room without another word. Not long after, there’s always a soft knock at your bedroom door. Kakyoin will hand you a sweet or a plushie he won from a crane game—he seems like the type who’d be good at those—as a quiet apology.
Before he went missing, however, his behavior changed drastically. A new harshness had crept into his personality, and he displayed a cruelty he had never shown before, even toward you. When he suddenly disappears, you’re naturally terrified for him, losing sleep as worry gnaws at you and you wonder what could have happened.
Then one day, you receive a call.
You hear his voice on the other end.
Relief floods through you, and you cry a little as he reassures you that he’s alright and apologizes for how he acted before. He tells you he’s traveling with a ragtag group of individuals and that he can’t come home just yet. He has to get revenge on the man who brainwashed him, and the others share the same goal. At first you try and convince him to go back, but as he talks you down from your high-strung emotions you eventually relent. All you ask is that he stays safe and comes home as soon as he can. He promises that he will.
You had no idea that this would be one of the last conversations you would ever have with him.
Months later, there’s a knock at your door. You race to answer it, reaching it before either of your parents, your heart pounding with hope that it’s your brother at long last.
Instead, you find an elderly man and a tall, solemn-looking teenage boy about Kakyoin’s age standing on the doorstep. The elderly man holds his hat in his hands, his eyes downcast as he explains that he and his grandson were part of the group your brother had been traveling with.
Their enemy had been defeated, but it came at the cost of your brother’s life.
The overwhelming grief and sorrow that follow his death are what ultimately awaken your very own STAND, Night at the Symphony, manifesting early in your childhood just like your brother’s had.
Best Friend — Muhammad Avdol `ঔঌ
I’d give him the title of “most tolerable man in Part 3,” the only one not raising anyone’s cortisol levels (insert crying face). He’s serious, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to have a good time or let his guard down. I feel like he’d find your wordplay jokes extremely funny—he just seems like the type of guy who’ll laugh at a lot of things. You can absolutely be silly together! He also has a strong sense of loyalty and duty, which I think you’d really be drawn to, and the two of you would rarely fight. If anything, he’s the one fighting everyone else for you, lol. He’s usually very level-headed, but he can get pretty panicky and stressed sometimes, so you’d occasionally have to talk him down—which is where your empathetic nature would come in handy.The two of you would definitely be bookworms, sharing recommendations and any art you feel comfortable showing him. He’d praise you to high heaven, and if you ever gifted him something you made, he’d treasure it for a long time. Avdol would also be the person encouraging you to unburden your worries and talk about what’s bothering you, he wouldn’t want you holding everything in. Shame about him dying though <3.
Rival — Leona Abbachio ☕
Let’s just say the two of you don’t get along the first time you meet. Upon that initial meeting, Leone is polite but very standoffish, and it doesn’t seem like he has any interest in getting to know you better. Considering you’re an outsider to the mafia, he’s got a pretty one-track mind about it. However, the more you become entangled in his life, Abbacchio realizes he kind of has to put up with you (why he does will become clear later). That said, he’s not exactly happy about it. To him, you’re a wallflower, and your shyness and discomfort around new people don’t really do anything to change his assumptions.
I also don’t think you’d immediately vibe with him, considering he literally smiles just to spite people. You tend to take things more at face value, so that difference would probably lead to a lot of misunderstandings between you two. Plus, he enjoys hazing people—we all know what was in the teacup, and he was willing to do that to a minor. I doubt he’d pull the exact same stunt on you, but he’d probably switch your sugar with salt or something just to knock you down a peg.
But alas, because you’re dear to someone he cares about a lot, he does eventually tone down the pranks. You do manage to get him back a few times, though—jump-scaring him when he’s not paying attention. Honestly, the guy kind of deserves it. As you spend more time around each other, his walls start to come down. You’d begin to see that he’s actually very self-loathing, and that he cares deeply about the Bucciarati gang’s overall goal. Eventually you might come to empathize with him—or at least sympathize—but that definitely wouldn’t happen for a while lol.
(Platonic) Relationships —
Jotaro Kujo 🐬
The two of you didn’t start out as friends, but being as close as he was to Kakyoin, he feels a certain responsibility for you. The shared trauma of your brother’s death slowly brings you closer—both of you mourning him in your own ways. Since then, he’s made a point to check in on you regularly, even calling from across the country when work takes him to the States. Your conversations are usually short and to the point—he’s not one to ramble—but when you speak, he listens patiently. Whenever he’s in town, he stops by to see you and takes you out for a meal, always insisting on paying. The two of you bond over your shared love of the ocean, and every now and then he’ll subtly nudge you toward marine biology as a possible career. Still, he never pushes, always respecting whatever path you decide to take. He’s also the one who helps you gain better control of your STAND.
Rohan Kishibe ✎ᝰ
Lowkey, I could see you becoming a manga assistant under Rohan at some point in your youth—something like an internship. He’d be the one to hand-pick you from a pool of candidates since he doesn’t trust what anyone says on paper. But hey, congratulations—your art and skills managed to impress him enough to get you hired!
He’s definitely a strict boss, and there are times when he barely scrapes by the deadline for his manga because he’s been caught up in some adrenaline-fueled creative mania. When that happens, you end up having to work double to help make up for the lost time. Still, I don’t think he’d be an abusive boss, there’s still a sense of respect and professionalism in your relationship but you try to give him as much space as possible. If anything, he’d apologize in his own way—ordering food for the both of you or even asking to hear your thoughts about where the manga could go next. You don’t expect much to come from it, but maybe—juuust maybe—you’ll notice something similar to what you suggested show up in a later chapter. What an honor!
Narancia Ghirga 🍊
After you move to Italy and open your vocal technique classroom, guess who ends up becoming your very first student. Why exactly he’s decided to take singing lessons will become clear later on, but for now he’s here. At first, he thinks the whole thing is kind of stupid. How hard can singing be? He sings in the shower all the time. But in him, you quickly discover a stubborn student who gets distracted very easily during lessons. Still, since he’s your first full-time student, you can’t exactly afford to fail.
Once the two of you really get into the lessons, though, his attitude starts to shift. He begins to develop a genuine respect for the craft, and you introduce him to techniques and sounds he’s never even heard of before. He hadn’t realized he could sound that good.
At first he’s embarrassed to practice around the rest of the gang, but as his confidence grows, he starts belting out dramatic ballads just for fun. The shocked expressions from everyone else only encourage him more.He also comes to admire you as a teacher. Your patient, gentle approach is a stark contrast to how he remembers teachers from school or Fugo trying to tutor him. Before long, he’s showing up to lessons with a bright smile, actually looking forward to them, sometimes even bringing small trinkets or sweets for his favorite teacher.
Love Match — Bruno Bucciarati ⋆˙⟡♡
Ta daaaa, he’s finally here!! The man of your dreams! He checks every single one of your boxes: righteous, compassionate, kind-hearted, and dreamy! Not to mention, the two of you would make a stunning couple visually—he’s effortlessly classy, and you lean into a more traditionally feminine presentation, so together, you’d easily be the best-looking couple in Naples.
Picture this: you make the big move to Italy, study opera and classical singing at a quaint little university, and now you’re finally ready to chase your dream of becoming a vocal teacher. You start small, renting a room above a café that doubles as both your apartment and your classroom.
Unfortunately, what you didn’t realize was that the street you chose happens to be a hotspot for mob activity—especially from the big mafia group, Passione.
You keep your head down and focus on recruiting students. The locals are pleasant and affable enough, so you don’t run into trouble…until the night you’re walking home and get mugged.
You’re so shocked you don’t even think to activate your STAND, but it turns out that isn’t necessary. The man running off with your purse suddenly trips and crashes hard onto the pavement. What he tripped over is his own…arm?
For some strange reason, the mugger’s arm lies detached on the ground beside him, palm open, fingers unfurled, with what looks like a closed zipper where the shoulder should be.
“These streets are dangerous at night,” a smooth, unbothered voice says from behind you.
You turn to see a man with sun-kissed skin and short black hair, dressed in a pressed white suit. His hands rest casually in his pockets, a gentle smile on his face. With an almost eerie calm, he walks over to the arm lying beside the groaning, confused mugger and plucks your purse from its limp grasp. Then he carries it back to you, and you finally get a proper look at just how handsome he is.
“Especially for a lovely young lady such as yourself.”
It’s certainly a memorable first meeting for you.
For Bruno, though, it isn’t exactly the first time he’s noticed you.
Since you live directly above the café where he and his gang regularly meet, he’d already seen you around. At first it was just passing curiosity—the kind you have for a stranger you can easily pick out in a crowd. It didn’t hurt that you were cute, either. Still, he couldn’t help wondering how a foreigner like you ended up on a street so steeped in crime and mob activity.
After the mugging incident, he realizes just how out of your depth you really are.
At first he tells himself he’s simply looking out for you. You seem naturally trusting—exactly the kind of person a smooth-talking mafioso could easily take advantage of. So he starts stopping by the café without the rest of his gang.
The more conveniently timed “run-ins” the two of you have, the more he realizes he genuinely likes you. He’s especially fond of your passion for opera and your shy disposition, and he’d gladly take you to the theater anytime you wanted to see a performance. In turn, you admire his zeal, his kindness, and his determination to protect the people of Naples.
He’s even the one who brings you your very first student—encouraging (forcing) Narancia to take lessons from you while he pays for them himself. And more often than not, he tries to hand you more than your usual fee.
“Narancia here has always loved opera so I figured he’d be the perfect student for you.”
“No I haven’t, where did ya hear that-”
“Yes you have.”
“Yes I have.”
He does eventually introduce you to the rest of his gang, though he’s careful not to mention their ties to the mafia. Personally, I think he’d try to shield you from that side of his life for as long as possible, wanting to keep you separate from anything dangerous. But eventually the day comes when he can’t hide it anymore—especially when the STAND users from La Squadra start targeting you in order to get to him.
You’re still kept mostly on the sidelines since your ability isn’t suited for direct combat, but when they’re fighting on home turf, your STAND ends up being incredibly useful for support. You help by misdirecting opponents and giving Bruno’s team the upper hand when it matters.
Bruno, for his part, doesn’t shy away from your love of physical affection at all. And if you think you’re spoiled by your family already, get ready for that to triple with him. During those first few months of courting, the gifts he brings you start piling up in your room. Honestly, it probably wouldn’t take long before the two of you move in together—he’d insist that his place is not only nicer, but much safer for you.
To you, it feels almost like a fairytale romance. Still, you can’t help but worry when he leaves for a job or comes home incredibly late. Given what happened to your brother, there’s always that looming fear in the back of your mind that today might be the last time you see him.
Whenever he notices that worry creeping in, he pulls you close, kissing you deeply and reassuring you that not even death itself could keep him away from you. In a strange way, he ends up keeping that promise when he returns after becoming something like the undead due to Giorno’s STAND; you’re one of the first people to realize that something isn’t quite right with your beloved. (spoiler alert he's a reanimated corpse lol)
A/N: Thank you so much for doing an exchange with me, this was a lot of fun to make! If you want anything changed or added, let me know and we can figure something out :)
Your power (Signature Spell)
☆彡 SIGNATURE SPELL: “Heart’s Harbor”
You’re able to create a soft, ocean-like magical field around yourself and nearby allies. Inside this space: Negative emotions like fear, and hostility are dampened, allies feel comforted and emotionally stabilized and you’re able to sense the true emotional state of anyone inside of that field… If someone intends to harm someone you care about, the water-like barrier hardens instantly, repelling attacks. This spell fits you the most considering your personality!
Your Dorm
🌊Octavinelle🐠
You surprising fit into this dorm in a natural way, even at first glance it seems like most of the dorm are for the manipulative or business-minded people, but if you happen to look a little deeper there’s a reason why you fit here: you’re love for the sea, the habit of collecting seashells… it seems like you already fit in right here! Your dorm mates would be attached to you instantly!
Sibling
Silver Vanrouge
You and Silver work well as siblings because the bruh of your temperaments are sooo similar! you both are gentle, quiet, and thoughtful people who prefer calm environments over chaotic ones… Your shy nature and tendency to keep yourself mirrors Silver’s soft-spoken and polite demeanor. The relationship with you two revolves around being each others comfort person whenever the both of you are feeling down. Silver is someone who would make sure you’re safe, like walking you home and listening to your struggles, which he listens with all ears and an open heart. You both would have many quiet but peaceful conversations and feel completely safe enough to tell each other your secrets that many people would not know about the two of you.
Best Friend
Deuce Spade
You and Deuce would make really good friends! Especially at the beginning of you arriving to Twisted Wonderland. He’s very loyal, and tries his hardest to be a good person, which is something you may admire from the beginning! While you may feel shy around others at first, being around Deuce makes your awkwardness fade away and would make you feel more comfortable opening up to him sooner. Your relationship with each other later on is all about encouraging the both of you, Deuce would make sure that you believe in yourself and you would support his determination to grow and improve. Your kindness and emotional empathy helps keep him grounded during his hard times. You both always say study and tutor together, talk about your small achievements, etc. Deuce would fiercely protect you if anyone dared to treat you badly, he wants to make sure that you’re safe and you know that you’re valued.
Rival
Vil Schoenheit
You and Vil have very different personalities (in my opinion at least). Vil is someone who’s more confident in himself while you tend to doubt yourself and struggle with insecurities. Vil may find your lack of self-confidence a bit frustrating, especially because he’s someone who sees so much potential in you and your talents that you may not be fully embracing. I feel like you would be quite intimidated by Vil’s strong presence and high expectations. However your rivalry with Vil would push you to grow stronger, and since Vil is someone who strongly believes in refinement and improvement, he would challenge you to take yourself more seriously and stop hiding your abilities. And surprisingly, your sincerity and emotional sensitivity might remind him that vulnerability isn’t weakness. Your rivalry with Vil would be less about hostility and more about personal growth, Vil is pushing you to become stronger while you subtly soften his rigid perfectionism.
Relationships (Platonic)
Idia Shroud
You and Idia would have a surprisingly comfortable relationship built on shared introvision. The both of you prefer quiet environments and can feel overwhelmed by large groups of people, so the bruh of you would naturally gravitate towards each other spending time together in calmer settings. Idia might initially communicate with you more easily through messages or shared hobbies rather than face to face conversation, which actually suits your shy personality. The both of you would bond over anime, fantasy stories, or quieting batheing in each others presence without the pressure of having to talk constantly. Your kindness and non-judgmental nature would make Idia feel accepted, and since Idia understands what social anxiety is he would be very patient with you during your awkward moments.
Jade Leech
Jades calm and observant personality pairs well with your gentle demeanor in a platonic dynamic. Jade is very perspective and he would quickly notice your sincerity and emotional sensitivity. While Jade may be mysterious and slightly intimidating to others, he tends to respect people who are genuine and thoughtful, aka someone like you. Your politeness and kindness would immediately earn his quiet approval. Your interactions with Jade involve calm conversations, perhaps about the nature and the ocean, something of your interests. Jade also may lightly tease you just to observe your reactions, but never in a way that’ll leave you with hurt feelings. In return, you would most likely appreciate his composed and reliable presence, making your friendship with Jade feel oddly peaceful despite Jade’s enigmatic nature.
Floyd Leech
Floyd’s chaotic personality creates a fun contrast with your quiet and shy nature. While you may initially find him overwhelming, Floyd tends to enjoy people who react genuinely to him rather than trying to control him. Your honest emotions and kindness would intrigue him, and he might find your reactions amusing in a harmless way. Over time, Floyd is someone who may become oddly protective of you, seeing you as someone fragile but interesting. Your friendship with Floyd would be unpredictable, sometimes chaotic when Floyd drags you into random situations, but other times surprisingly gentle when he decides to sit quietly with you. You might also be one of the few people who can calm Floyd simply by being soft-spoken and sincere.
Love Match and Headcanons
Azul Ashengrotto
☆彡 Azul secretly melts from your affection… Your love language is physical touch, and Azul is not used to that level of gentle affection. The first time you casually hug him from behind or runs your fingers through his hair, he completely freezes. His brain short-circuits for a moment because he’s so used to transactional relationships that unconditional affection confuses him. Eventually, though, he starts quietly craving those moments.
☆彡 He gives you constant reassurance since you appreciates words of affirmation and struggle with insecurity, Azul naturally fills that role. He’s incredibly articulate, so he often compliments you in very sincere but eloquent ways. Instead of simple praise, he’ll say things like how your kindness improves the atmosphere around you or how your singing has remarkable emotional depth. His compliments feel genuine because he chooses his words carefully.
☆彡 You are one of the few people who sees his vulnerable side. Azul hides his past insecurities behind confidence and business savvy, but your empathetic nature makes it easier for him to open up. When he does talk about his fears or old insecurities you listen quietly and comfort him without judging. Those moments make him trust you more than almost anyone else.
☆彡 You visits the Mostro Lounge often… you frequently stops by the lounge to see him, even if you’re just quietly sitting at a table writing in l your diary while Azul works. Azul pretends he’s too busy to notice, but he absolutely notices every time you come in.
☆彡 He gets extremely protective of you because you can be trusting or a bit gullible, Azul becomes very protective in subtle ways. If someone tries to manipulate or take advantage of your kindness, he immediately intervenes. No one messes with someone Azul cares about, especially someone who is his equal and soulmate.
☆彡He loves hearing you sing when Azul first hears you singing opera or jazz, he’s stunned. He’s very musically inclined and appreciates artistry, so he naturally becomes one of your biggest supporters. Sometimes he even asks you to sing privately in the lounge for him after closing hours.
☆彡 You play with his hair constantly since you’re somebody who likes physical affection, you often absentmindedly play with his hair when the both of you are sitting together. Azul pretends to complain at first, but he secretly finds it extremely relaxing.
☆彡 He buys you plushies, since you are someone who likes plushies Azul absolutely notices that. Occasionally he’ll “coincidentally” obtain a cute plush and give it to you claiming it’s just leftover merchandise or something trivial, but he clearly chose it with you in mind.
☆彡 Quiet ocean dates are quite often because Azul noticed you love the ocean, Azul sometimes takes you somewhere quiet near the water at night. It’s one of the few places where he feels calm, and seeing you fascinated by the sea makes those moments very peaceful for him.
☆彡 You help him soften emotionally… Azul tends to approach relationships strategically, but you remind him that not everything needs to be calculated. Your sincerity slowly helps him trust people more.
☆彡He encourages you to be confident… Azul sees potential in you that you may not always recognize in yourself. Whether it’s your singing, creativity, or kindness, he gently pushes you to believe in your abilities, because he truly believes that you should not be insecure in yourself, not around him.
☆彡 Your relationship with each other is surprisingly gentle. Even though Azul can be manipulative in business, his relationship with you is one of the few parts of his life that isn’t transactional. With you, he chooses sincerity.

The sunlight that peeked through the curtains showered you with warmth, but it paled far in comparison to the amount you felt in Varka's current embrace. Your husband had just returned to Mondstadt from a long expedition, so the first thing he did upon his arrival was come home to his dear wife.
Here you two were, lounging on the couch, his strong arms wrapped around your waist from behind, your back pressed up against his firm, broad chest, and your heads leaning against one another's. With one hand on top of his, your other hand was holding the side of his face, softly caressing his cheek. You have missed one another terribly that you both have been spending the day relishing in each other's presence just like this.
With a tight squeeze at your waist, he nuzzles his face into the crook of your neck and deeply inhales your skin, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Mm...I've missed your scent."
He then presses a sweet kiss to that same spot, places another one a little higher, and drags his lips further up your neck to leave one more right behind your ear.
"I've missed kissing you like this"
Feeling his hot breath against the shell of your ear, he takes the opportunity to playfully bite your earlobe. The soft nibbling sensation tickled, causing you to draw back and giggle.
"Oh! How I've missed that sweet laugh of yours", he chuckles heartily.
He pulls you back in closer and gently grabs your chin for you to face him. Your eyes are met with his shining, bright blues, filled only with love, adoration, and tenderness for you, and his smile glowed bright at the sight of his beloved. The amount of radiance he shone in this very moment made it as if he was the sun itself. Who knew that the sun could easily envelop you in a feeling of everlasting warmth and safety just by being wrapped tightly in its rays? Who knew that the sun could then kiss you with such a fiery passion and yearning, each kiss scorching with the need and desire to be closer to you?
Pulling back to catch a breath, he holds the side of your face with one hand as you both lean your foreheads against each other's.
"I've missed you so much, darlin'. I'm sorry to have left you for so long" He leans in closer, and with a firm resolve, he promises, "I love you, y/n, and I always will. For as long as I live, I'll come back to you no matter what. I swear it." He seals that promise with a deep and loving kiss, and proceeds to reaffirm it over and over again with great fervor, not allowing any room for doubt.
Any worries or fears you had before instantly disintegrated. You knew that no matter where the sun may go, whether it was shining radiantly in the clear sky, hidden behind the clouds, or traveling from east to west, Varka's love will always be there, burning for you no matter how far.
a/n: currently simping HARD for Varka. Will most likely write a smutty part 2 of this. Stay tuned!

I've been making card blanks for Twisted Wonderland for many years now. This all started as a personal project, wanting to make my own cards for my own characters to make them feel like a part of the universe, but it quickly ballooned into something much bigger and grander than I anticipated. These are very easy for me to make, so for those that need them please accept these blanks for your own use, too!
I'll be updating this masterpost every time a new blank asset is released, and I've created a google drive link that I'll be updating alongside it!
These assets are totally free to download and use, no need to credit if you take advantage of them. But if you'd like to do so, please consider linking back to me or this post so that others can find and use them too!
breaking through the RSA haze because of course I couldn't forget about Grim in his special little stripey jammies! he's ready to join us at the slumber party and stay up WAY past his bedtime (just...after he rests his eyes for a second...)
Your observant nature will definitely reflect in your signature spell. Your unique magic, "The Watchful Eye", will summon a crystal ball that will reveal anyone of your choosing in their current state. You'll be able to see their actions and hear their words, but won't be able to make contact. This spell can remain active for a few minutes. Its usage should only be up to 2 people per hour. Attempting to do more in such little time will cause quick blot accumulation.
Appearance Match: LEONA KINGSCHOLAR 💛🖤
You two would match in terms of your unkempt hair, paired with your fearsome looks. You would be called the “untouchable” couple of NRC that no one would dare approach lightly. Both of your piercing eyes could easily ward off those of the faint of heart. Yet, when you two look into each other's eyes, that intense look you both share isn't met with fear, but rather a sense of familiarity and understanding. Neither of you enjoy wasting time or needless small talk. You both are two peas in a pod.
Siblings: JADE & FLOYD LEECH🫧
You would fit perfectly into the Leech family! Intelligence, the sense of masking oneself, and sadistic tendencies are traits that are shared amongst you, your siblings, as well as your mother, Georgina. You are the mature one between the twins, preferring to maintain a calm, easy environment, rather than to create chaos. Yet, Floyd would adore you especially. He would constantly nag you to tell him one of your many entertaining stories. After all, they never failed to make him laugh. His frequent pestering would likely annoy the heck out of you, but hey, what are younger siblings for? Your stories would always put the twins in a good mood. It would be the easiest way to distract Floyd and get him to calm down when he suddenly has the urge to squeeze someone. You are definitely the shortest of the family, and the twins are very likely to tease you every now and then about it. Nevertheless, they both respect you as the eldest.
Best Friend: AZUL ASHENGROTTO 🐙
It would be no surprise that your best friend would be Azul as a Leech. Like your younger brothers, you share their sentiment of hanging out with Azul for as long as he is entertaining. At the same time, that is not the one and only reason you two are best friends. You both are like-minded people in the way that you two value intellect and are hard-workers in private, especially when it comes to one's education. You both would have low-key study sessions together whenever big exams were coming up and with both of your efforts, you two would pass with flying colors. Knowing Azul’s nature, you would be able to navigate conversations with him easily as he never talks without a motive. Like the Tweels, you are one of the very few people he can confide in.
Relationships:
ROOK HUNT
It was a random school day in between periods that Rook befriended you in the most particular way (quite befitting of him). You were relaxing under the shade of a tree, observing the passerbys every now and then. Rook happened to be doing the same and took it upon himself to join you. From then on, you would pass the time observing people together, taking note of all the certain traits that stood out and relaying this information to each other. He would share your passion for the arts as well, which would leave the two of you endless topics to talk about. He would share his favorite poems and quotes from the plays he loved and would inquire about your favorite works too.
ACE TRAPPOLA
After frequently coming to see Floyd and Jamil’s basketball matches, you would end up getting to know their teammate, Ace. You would come to learn how he is unapologetically himself and is someone who would speak his mind with no hesitation which allowed you to gravitate towards him as someone with a similar attitude. You two would share a sense of humor as well, indulging yourselves with each other’s sarcastic wits. I think Deuce also would end up joining your tomfoolery.
KALIM AL-ASIM
In association with Jamil, you would hang around Kalim often. His bubbly, talkative, ditsy attitude may be off-putting for you at first, but with time, he would get to know your preference for more meaningful talks. He sees how much you care for Jamil and how much Jamil cares for you, so he automatically treats you like a dear friend as well, wanting nothing but happiness for the two of you. If he could allow more time for Jamil to spend with you, he would gladly give it whenever he could.
Ideal Match: JAMIL VIPER ❤️🖤
♡ Being part of the Leech family, you would have a refined taste for clothing, having been so exposed to the luxuries that Georgina and your father would send you and the twins frequently. Jamil also shares an eye for fashion and would be happy to take you on shopping dates, where both of you can indulge in your stylish expressions together.
♡ As Jamil is devoted to his family and Kalim, there is no doubt that he would be incredibly devoted to you as his partner. I would think that because you take your own self-expression seriously, you would make Jamil feel free to express himself to the fullest extent, at least when you two were in private. He isn’t used to standing out for the sake of his duties, but with you, he feels more at ease with himself. Because of that, he treasures you deeply.
♡ Your intelligence and preference for deeper, authentic conversations would be refreshing to him, delighting in the fact that he would never be wasting his time and energy with you. Whatever topics you would like ramble on about, he would listen to with pleasure. He's the type who would usually prefer silence than constant yapping, but with you, he wouldn't mind at all.
♡ As a picky-eater, you are in luck because Jamil would be able to attend to your cravings with ease. If you show interest in his recipes, he'd be glad to explain them and show you in detail. If you offer to help him cook, he would initially be hesitant because he's so used to doing so all on his own. At the same time, he would end up finding it to be a pleasure with you. Your competence and perceptiveness would make it easy for him to relax, (knowing that you wouldn't burn down the kitchen as Kalim would often do).
♡ He's an attentive and observant boyfriend. He remembers every single one of your preferences and favorites with ease. You can always expect to receive a wonderful gift from him whenever birthdays or anniversaries come around. The newest album of your favorite band came out recently? You would find it wrapped in a bow at your desk the next day. He would be fall in love with you further when he came to realize that you are the same as him: a keen and observant lover. The reciprocated devotion you give to one another would be incomparable.
♡ The only discrepancy he would feel in the relationship would be concerning your friendship with Azul. Of course, you're free to be friends with whomever you choose, but he couldn't help but feel a bit conflicted when you're best friends with the bane of his existence. Nevertheless, he would deal with all of Azul's pestering if it meant that you were happy. He wouldn't hold back his complaints, though lol.
the two of you against the world, in a room full of people you can only see each other, being inside your own bubble, listening to music together with an earbud on his right and an earbud on your left, sleeping on his shoulder, his arm wrapped around your shoulder, reading together in silence, getting lost in each other's eyes, memorizing poems and reciting them to each other, home-cooked meals, baking together, shopping dates in the gallery, a pair of doves
Here's the icon I made again! (I made the hair a bit darker to match your description ^^)
This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:
If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.
This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace
everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.
