Iāve been incredibly busy these past few months, but Iām finally getting around to finishing Mishap chp. 12! Not only that, Iāve written a silvermantis one-shot! That should also be posted soon! Iāll try to be more consistent with updates, but I make no promises rn! Anyway, since itās been months, hereās a little sneak peek of chp. 12 featuring Papa Silva ;)
Preview (Not edited):
Naƫl snapped back into the present, taking a sip from his tea. It had long gone cold, but he could hardly find it in himself to care. His mind was occupied by other, far more pressing matters.
Jack The Ripper.
He had heard the name before. How could he not? After all, he was one of the three Magic Knight Captains with no royal or noble blood (along with the foreigner and the witch). It had caused quite an uproar among his peers back when they had been elected as captains of their respective brigades. Too much of an uproar, as it had reached even NaĆ«lās ears in seclusion. It was hard to forget.
Therefore, NaĆ«l had recognized the name in bold ink when his brother-in-law had sent a letter in frenzied words. Three months prior, Lucian had informed him of Jackās impromptu elopement to his eldest son. (And his opposition to the union). It had certainly been unexpected. After all, the image he had created of his son did not match the Nozel of the newsāat all. Granted, that image had been forged with the far-away memories of the times when he had acted as a proper father. Not only that, but all the current knowledge he had of his primogeniture came from hearsayāand Lucian and Gladiolaās letters.
Now, it was safe to assume the image he had constructed of Nozel was flawed. His ego took the blow wholeheartedly. It was bad enough that he had been mistaken about his youngest (Noelle turned out to be as strong as Acier, if the reports were anything to go by), but apparently he had also been oblivious to Nozelās changes.
(Seclusion had its downside, he would admit. Regardless, he preferred living in ignorance than to see Acier every time he stepped outside, every time he saw their children.)
Nevertheless, back then, although the news came unexpectedly, he couldnāt find it in himself to care much. A great contrast to Lucianās own melodramatic reaction. The man had been livid, begging NaĆ«l to interfere through extensive letters. He couldnāt tolerate a common man marrying into the family, and hoped NaĆ«l would see things from his perspective. However, Nozel was the Head of House Silva, and NaĆ«l would not question his authority.
Lucianās letters remained unanswered.
That is, until his latest letter, the one that had forced him out of seclusion.

Origin of your blogās name: How about I share the full context because I've never done it before.
The first time I signed up for tumblr back in 2014, I just chose a randomly generated username since I didn't mind too much. But I lost that account ~2019 and since I didn't chose the username, I actually didn't remember it so I couldn't even search for any info about my old blog. So back in 2021 (after covid ruined my already shitty sleep schedule) when I made this account, I knew I wanted a name so that way I wouldn't forget it. It was late and I just remember thinking to myself something like "I can't even think of a good username, I feel like I've been awake for 48 hours... wait." It was mostly just a joke name and one I was fully intending to change I also never intended to make more than like 3 posts but at this point, don't fix what ain't broke.
My āIāll always order thisā food: Burgers (don't fix what ain't broke)

Oddly specific thing that brings me joy: My mutuals tagging me in their posts (also, that thing I DM'd you about, Amanda!)

Origin of your blogās name: For people who know me I think it wonāt be that surprising that I get really, really fucked up about games like Catan, to the point where I actually donāt have much fun with them. My specific sticking point is that I HATE being betrayed by people Iāve formed an āallianceā with.
Thereās this game called Bohnanza that I play with my family a lot, where the entire premise is that youāre farming and selling beans. And one time my mom double-crossed me in a way that really pissed me off, so I torched any idea of winning and basically spent the rest of the game pouring every resource I had into making sure that SHE wouldnāt win (yes this is a toxic trait, yes im working on it) and she burst out in frustration like ācan you STOP acting like a mafia boss [name] FOR THE LOVE OF GODā
So. I am the bean market mafia, actually.
Iāll always order this: Tres Amigos or divorced enchiladas. That shit slaps

I'll give the game away here -- there are a few murderers in the circus, and this is one of the more notable ones. Not for the volume of crime, but-- well. See that other guy up there in the picture? The one on fire?
Yeah, the Family Guy death pose is funny. That's his dad.
Adriel P. Atwood Rivera was born to a Puerto Rican mother and white British-American father. From an early age he was an intelligent, creative, and funny child, and when he was 12 came the happiest event of his life -- his little sister was born.
Alanna Primavera Atwood was everything to her older brother. Even after their mother died in a car crash and their father lost his job to a new drinking habit, even scraping through life by assistance from a wealthy aunt, Adriel kept it together. He went to college. He got published. He raised his sister even as his father spiraled down the drain in the next room over.
In the early months of 2001, Primavera started having headaches. And when the tumor diagnosis came in and Adriel's aunt was suddenly nowhere to be found, and when California's healthcare registration said it would be six months, he picked up a second job. And then a third job.
And his unemployed father kept buying beer.
By the time Adriel had gotten rid of his dead weight, he was out of time. Primavera died 12 days later. Fragmented, unstable, and desolate, he moved back to Puerto Rico and fell in love with a man who liked pills. And every child from a broken home knows that the parents who fail us aren't content with ruining our childhoods. They leave their hooks in us. We carry their noses, their ears, their smiles, and their habits like so many crosses.
Before Adriel died, he took up the habit of ventriloquism. For hours at a time he would sit and mimic the voices of his family. His death didn't change that -- after a gnarly withdrawal, he took up making dolls again, and eventually developed an act. He's very close with Azreal, but he's also friends with pretty much everyone else.
This is probably for the best. Despite his fun-loving, clever nature, Adriel can get... anxious when he's alone. And when he's anxious, something usually ends up starting on fire.
Silvermantis but it's Nozel's Friends and family hating Jack š.
And not for being a peasant, but out of overprotectiveness.
Especially Noelle, since in my AU Nozel is quite literally her MOTHER. Hence having a Psycho step dad. She accepts him quickly, anything's better than Megicula.
Solid and Nebra are a different deal. They're black clover's team rocket with trust and abandonment and daddy and mommy issues.
Fuegoleon goes from being respectful at meetings to giving Jack bombASTIC side eyes.
Charlotte keeps an eye on him but is mostly nice about it.
Omg overprotective Silva Fam(and friends) YES
Also mother Nozel?? hell yeah. Noelle bonds with her psycho step dad and it surprises her, a pleasant surprise! (Not Megiculaā¦. š)
Oh Nebra and Solid HATE to see Jack coming. Theyāre trying to sabotage every single one of their meetings/dates. Jack finds it amusing, Nozel not so much. He wants his family to like his man!
IāVE ALSO THOUGHT ABOUT OVERPROTECTIVE FUEGO BEFORE!!! Like, to me, thatās his younger cousin. Jack better not mess it up because he WILL be hearing from Fuegoleon. (roasted mantisā¦)
Nozel and Charlotte friendship!!! Yesss I love that!
Hiii itās been a while, but! I started writing the rest of chapter 10 (Marriage Mishap) and Iām hoping to have it out by the end of the month! If anyone was wondering for an update! Life has been veryyyyyy busy these past few months, but Iām here!!!
āWhat? Because I learned your stupid royal dance?ā
āIdiot, you were pretending to be badāawful, and stepped on my feet countless times.ā
Jack laughed, catching the attention of the nearby dancing couples. āI only started pretending aroundā¦the third lesson.ā
Nozelās eyes widened, and he held himself back from kicking Jack again. āThird? Jack. We had a dozen lessons. Were you seriously wasting my time?ā
āYeah,ā Jack admitted, leaning down, breath brushing warmly against Nozelās neck, as he whispered. āIt was the perfect excuse to bother you, and watch you squirm. It was very entertaining.ā
Hiii itās been a while, but! I started writing the rest of chapter 10 (Marriage Mishap) and Iām hoping to have it out by the end of the month! If anyone was wondering for an update! Life has been veryyyyyy busy these past few months, but Iām here!!!
