i dont know if you're answering asks right now, but yeah haha, happy holidays and merry christmas if you celebrate it!
note: sorry for the horrendously long ask
Good day, Prefect, I've been thinking of sending a message for a while now, and I've finally gathered up the courage to do so. I'm a second-year student from Heartslabyul, and I'd like some help with some things. You see, there are these two cat twins from Pomefiore; they're first-years, and they're known to stir up mischief and cause havoc everywhere they go, and most people aren't exactly fond of them because of that. The thing is, I'm in a polyamorous relationship with the mentioned twins, and when word of that started to spread, people started to discourage me from continuing my relationship with them, telling me that I shouldn't associate myself with such delinquents. But the thing is, despite being mischievous and chaotic, they're actually quite sweet and know when to stop with their antics; they're also very caring at times too. But most people aren't aware of this side of them since they only ever show it to me. Now, Prefect, if it doesn't bother you too much, may I ask, how do I convince people that they aren't all bad? And what should I do if they continue to tell me to end our relationship solely due to their reputation? I thank you in advance.
Ah yes, I thought this would be perfect for February, so here we are. Is Harlan talking about the Pomefiore Siameses by any chance? I vaguely remember seeing a post about those OCs but I can’t seem to find it again so sorry if this took a while.
Here they are again, sitting on a comfortable leather chair(courtesy of Professor Crewel), a mic placed onto the studio’s mahogany table. A platter of snacks placed to their far right, beside a stack of canned tuna and a sleeping Grim.
Their school issued laptop with a tab already open to read messages from listeners and their simple phone case facing side up.
Stretching their arms and cracking their back to get their blood flowing, they finally turn on the mic with a muffled yawn.
“Once again,” Yuu fixes their tie even if they can’t be seen.
“Good morning Twisted Wonderland! We’re finally back after… sh-t I can’t remember—” They turn away and whisper in realization.
“—a long time!” They turn back, a strange look on their face.
“Today’s ask is… quite lengthy. But so are most of them these days.” They playfully roll their eyes.
“Hmm.” Tentative eyes skim the message, soaking up the information like a sponge.
“Pomefiore cat twins…” They give a thoughtful hum.
They strum the mahogany table with their nails for a few moments, racking their brain for memories of said twins.
“Cat twins in Pomefiore… might you mean Akanda and Akenya Siam?” They trace their bottom lip with their index finger in contemplation.
An…unfortunate encounter with another set of twins’ prank crosses their mind.
“Ah. Probably not.” They grimaced at the memory.
“Perhaps…Siddell and Amani? Sorry, I don’t know their last names.” Yuu smiled sheepishly.
“Yes, they might be who you’re referring to. I might not have the best first impression of them, but it’s good to see them treat you as you deserve.”
“Anyways, back to the topic at hand,” Yuu pulls their school issued laptop closer to them.
“Let me provide a little summary of your situation,” Their eyes travel back to the message.
“You, Harlan, are in a polymerous relationship with the Pomefiore cat twins. They are known delinquents, which makes people around you to discourage your relationship, and this led to the twins attempting to shield you from that scrutiny by asking you to leave them,” They twist the ring around their finger, eyes still on the message.
“Huh, they seem a fair amount protective.” They remark.
“So from what I’ve gathered, the main question here is how do you defend both your relationship and partner— sorry, partners, from people who want 1950’s sh-t from you.” They softly click their tongue.
“I understand the need to defend you from others, but why do they seem so willingly to give your relationship up? As delinquents, one would expect them to not give a damn about what other people think and fight for what they think is right.”
“So where did that come from?” They ask.
“Yes, it might be to protect you, but at the cost of your relationship?” Yuu raised an eyebrow.
“That hardly seems like a fair trade.” They narrow their eyes.
“I think you should deal with your partners’ pleads first. As for what to say when you do,” They breathe, sincerely hoping this doesn’t sound wrong or out-of-pocket.
“Just say no. You know they’re asking you because they feel bad and think they don’t deserve you, so tell them it’s just self sabotage and encourage them to fight for your relationship than giving up on it.”
“Taking the easy way out is never good, so fight for it, even if it makes your knuckles bruise like violets.” They shrug.
“Then, defending and/or proving your relationship to other people will be easier as you now have them help you to maintain the relationship rather than giving in to other people’s opinions and pushing your break-up.”
“As for proving the relationship, the only thing I can really suggest as someone who’s been single since birth:,) is crank up the PDA and encourage them to show their sweet side. Since you’re already together, I don’t see any reason for embarrassment.”
“If they make you feel comfortable, if they make you feel loved, if you want to stay with them, then stay! You’ll be damned if you give a damn what people.” They say.
“If you long for those melancholic moments, staring the at ceiling with them when they never say too much. When they don’t have to read into your melancholia…”
“Then stay in their lavender haze.”
Our fairytale has come to an end.
