hello! I like arcana twilight, twisted wonderland, obey me, demon slayer, genshin impact and so many more fandoms. particularly a date with death or adwd, touch starved and twisted wonderland and arcana twilight!
I'm lazy. but i wanna be a famous tuber. PLEASEEEEE
Hello! Welcome to my Tumblr account! Please follow me and like and subscribe to my TikTok and YouTube account. Would appreciate â¤ď¸. I am a Pakistani girl with anime, game, manga interests. For business inquiry. You can comment on my posts and I'll message directly! I do jewelery business in Karachi only! Love you all, thank you â¤ď¸.
Likewise... We have Adwd 1 (a date with death...) featuring casper and a human MC that is sunshine... Has a grim reaper fall in love with a human! Forbidden love whatever.
And then we have adwd 2... Two reapers having two routes for mc to choose one of them and mc is a grim reaper themselves... Okay! Not bad! Gonna come in 2027 no worries!
So... If adwd 3 ever happens in future (I sure hope player demand is high because it is IMPLIED by two and a half studios that they'll provide a THRID sequence if adwd 2 becomes massive hit in one of their AMAs) then...maybe we'd have a grim reaper...with a ALIEN MC!?
(I hope it does, I want some ben 10 reference, like kevin and Gwen. Smth like that.) Because then you would have to make adwd 3 interesting for fans not the mc being either human like in first version or grim reaper in second version. Though that's just my opinion! What do you guys think? Do y'all see the VISION!?)
Human, reaper, alien and what's next? Adwd 4 featuring a zombie? Or an angel or devil from hell or heaven? Mannn there's so many possibilities that the mc of future adwd 3 can be unique! Since it's very much implied in adwd 2 demo that cupids are titles that exist like grim reapers and we see an npc angel character that's with the freaky grim reaper...(Ikykik) Maybe we'd have more possibility!
I tried climbing up the mountain to find a rare detailed arcana twilight that was featuring the MC and Alpheratz. I looked up...I realized while smiling... I don't need to waste my energy anymore because I was at the PEAK.
So the poll made yui komori win as yuu of twisted wonderland. What if yui!yuu was in twisted wonderland? Here is how my perspective of twisted wonderland characters towards yui komori!yuu would go:
Ace Trappola, Before: Ace thinks the Prefect is an absolute pushover. When he gets collared by Riddle and crashes at Ramshackle Dorm, he expects her to yell at him or throw him out. Instead, she just anxiously welcomes him in and tries to make him comfortable. Because she flinches whenever he gets too loud or brash, he assumes she is terrified of her own shadow. He treats her with casual disregard, calling her "Prefect" with an eye-roll because he thinks she has zero backbone. (I mean thats true but ace just reminds her of ayato. No offence though ace.)
After: When the actual fight breaks out, Ace is shocked. He punches Riddle, and the whole courtyard turns into a war zone, but Yui doesn't run away. She stands there trembling, clutching Grim, refusing to leave the boys behind despite being completely defenseless. Ace realizes her quiet, apologetic nature isn't stupidity, itâs just how she copes. He still teases her, but he stops being so aggressively loud around her because he secretly respects that she stayed when she could have run. (Though he wouldn't admit it)
Cater Diamond, Before: Cater initially treats her like a fragile glass doll, snapping quick selfies and calling her "Prefect-chan." But Cater is incredibly sharp when it comes to reading people's vibes. He notices very quickly that Yuiâs posture stiffens completely whenever a guy steps too close to her, and her eyes dart toward the exits. He realizes she is carrying some heavy, unsaid trauma. Instead of pushing her, he uses his lighthearted facade to keep the louder, rowdier students away from her so she can breathe. (Awww)
After: Once Riddle actually blows up and starts screaming, Cater drops the overly happy Magicam act. He watches Yui look at the magical violence with a hollow, familiar sort of fear, like sheâs seen monsters (vampires actually) far worse than an angry teenager. After the battle, Cater shifts into a genuine, protective older-brother mode. He stops treating her like a social media novelty and starts quietly looking out for her, making sure Heartslabyul's daily chaos doesn't push her past her breaking point. (How sweet cater)
Trey Clover, Before: Trey feels an immediate, deep sense of worry for her. Yui is polite, helpful, and naturally good at kitchen chores, which makes her very easy to get along with. But Trey notices her hyper-vigilance. She obeys rules with a desperate, submissive compliance, as if expecting immediate physical punishment if she slips up. Trey thinks Night Raven College is entirely too harsh for a girl with her fragile mental state, and he constantly tries to shield her from the dorm's internal drama. After all he is pretty mature.
After: After Riddleâs breakdown, Treyâs respect for her goes through the roof. While everyone else is reeling from the violence, Yui doesn't look at a crying, defeated Riddle with anger. She looks at him with profound, empathetic sorrow, because she knows exactly what it feels like to be completely trapped under a household tyrant's thumb. Trey realizes her gentle, quiet nature is actually a massive source of emotional comfort. He relies on the Prefect to help soothe Riddleâs fragile ego during the recovery process. Since...she has patience ahem...
Deuce Spade, Before: Deuceâs strict "reformed good boy" personality kicks into absolute overdrive the second he meets her. Seeing a tiny, magicless girl who genuinely looks terrified when people start shouting triggers his deep-seated chivalrous instincts. He treats her with immense, polite distance, but he constantly throws himself in front of her like a human shield whenever Ace starts acting up or when the upperclassmen get too rowdy. (Good job deuce ur mom extra proud)
After: Deuce feels deeply responsible for her after the Overblot. He saw how she forced down her own intense fear just to support them from the sidelines while they fought Riddle's giant ink monster. He realizes that even though she can't fight, her spirit is incredibly stubborn. His protective behavior becomes dead serious. He starts treating the Prefect with the utmost respect, essentially vowing to become a powerful, reliable officer (I mean he does canonically) so she never has to feel unsafe on campus again.
Riddle Rosehearts, Before: Riddle completely dismisses her at first because she has zero magical ability, viewing her as a pathetic girl on campus. Her immediate, anxious obedience to his rules satisfies his need for order, but her physical reaction to his temper deeply irritates him. When he yells, she doesn't argue back like Ace, she just looks at him with wide, horrified eyes, as if she is looking at an absolute monster. Riddle finds this deeply insulting, assuming she is just weak and lacks proper discipline.
After: Riddleâs entire world is shattered after he wakes up from his Overblot. When he is at his absolute lowest, crying, pathetic, and exposed, Yui is the only person who doesn't look at him with judgment or fear. She approaches him with a soft-spoken, genuine kindness that he has never experienced from his own mother. Once his pride cools down, Riddle feels a heavy pang of guilt for how his tyrannical behavior terrified her. He formally recognizes the Prefect as a highly resilient individual, and he quietly makes sure that his future rule-enforcement never crosses into the terrifying territory that triggers her.
Ruggie Bucchi, Before: Ruggie initially treats the Prefect like a typical nosey human student trying to ruin his plans. Because he is focused on executing Leona's scheme, he uses standard slum-tactics to scare her off. He leans in close, drops a sharp verbal threat about "staircase accidents," and expects her to back off. Instead, Yui doesn't just look startled, she completely pales, trembles violently, and pulls away as if he is about to physically strike her. Ruggie is left blinking in confusion. He is a pragmatist; he realizes immediately that this isn't normal "I'm scared of a beastman" behavior. He stops threatening her entirely, feeling a sudden, deeply uncomfortable pang of guilt because he realizes she is genuinely, deeply broken by something in her past.
After: After the Overblot, Ruggieâs suspicions are completely confirmed. He watches her interact with the rest of the boys and notices she treats every male on campus with the same hyper-vigilant, submissive caution, even the ones like Deuce who are actively trying to be nice. Ruggie pieces together that her fear isn't about claws or fangs; itâs a deeply ingrained terror of men in general. He completely drops his sly, intimidating persona around her. He treats the Prefect with a quiet, careful distance, making sure to give her plenty of personal space so he doesn't accidentally trigger her panic again.
Jack Howl, Before: Jack's fierce, unyielding sense of justice makes him highly observant. When he first encounters Yui during the investigation, he tries to bark at her to "go home" and "stay out of beastmen business" to keep her safe from Savanaclaw's dirty tactics. But when he raises his voice, Yui visibly flinches and curls inward, looking completely terrified of him. Jack is deeply bothered by this. His beastman instincts tell him that her reaction isn't just standard fear, she is acting like an animal that has been cornered and mistreated by predators before. He lowers his voice significantly around her, switching from a gruff barking tone to a protective, quiet guard dog stance.
After: Once the Overblot is resolved, Jack talks it over with Ruggie and comes to a heavy conclusion. Watching how Yui avoids eye contact with the larger male students and constantly shrinks into herself, Jack realizes she carries severe trauma inflicted by men. It makes his blood boil to think someone so small and magicless was mistreated, but his respect for her grows immensely. He realizes the Prefect forced herself to stand in a stadium full of aggressive, roaring beastmen just to stop Leona. He begins treating her with the absolute highest level of formal, quiet courtesy, acting as a silent, reliable protector who stands at a respectful distance. (At least he's mature after trey)
Leona Kingscholar, Before: Leona is a predator with incredibly sharp senses. When Yui confronts him in the botanical garden, he doesn't even have to look at her to understand her state. His beastman sense of smell immediately picks up the intense, sour scent of pure, spike-vessel terror rolling off her. At first, his royal ego assumes she is just terrified of his massive size and predator aura. He drops a lazy, half-hearted threat to scare the "annoying herbivore" away. But when she responds with an immediate, desperate, submissive apology, looking like she expects him to claim her or hurt her, Leona's ears twitch in irritation. He realizes her scent of fear doesn't change whether he is growling or just lying there sleeping.
After: The true revelation happens after Leona wakes up from his Overblot. As he lies there physically exhausted, Yui quietly approaches him to offer medical fluids, her hands visibly shaking as she gets close to a male of his stature. Sniffing the air closely in the quiet aftermath, Leona finally realizes the truth: she isn't specifically afraid of him. Her scent of terror is a permanent, static baseline triggered by the presence of any male, regardless of whether they mean her harm or not. Leonaâs deep-rooted royal manners and respect for ladies kick in with a heavy sense of silent understanding. He realizes she has survived some horrific, controlling environment dominated by men. He stops trying to intimidate her entirely. He still groans and complains when she walks into the room, but his tone loses all of its predatory edge.
Floyd Leech, Before the Overblot: Floyd doesn't care why she is scared; he just thinks it's hilarious. Since almost everyone at NRC is terrified of him anyway, finding a tiny, magicless human girl who physically freezes up like a statue whenever he gets close is pure entertainment. He invades her personal space, squeezes her until she can't breathe, and slaps the nickname "Koebi-chan" (Little Shrimpy) on her because she shakes like a literal landed shrimp. He treats her intense anxiety like a toy to poke at for his own amusement.
After the Overblot: Absolutely nothing changes about his daily routine. He still grabs her, still chokes her, and still calls her "Little Shrimpy." The only slight shift is that he notices she doesn't just get annoyed or mad like Ace or Deuce, she goes completely hollow and expressionless when people scream or get violent. Floyd thinks her dead, checked-out reaction is super weird and "boring." He might slightly loosen his grip during a squeeze just so she actually reacts, but he remains the same unpredictable, invasive nuisance he always was.
Jade Leech, Before the Overblot: Jade views her terror as a massive corporate asset. He sees that she is hyper-vigilant and desperate to please authority figures to avoid punishment. While wearing his perfectly polite "gentleman" mask, he uses her obvious submissiveness to aggressively press Azulâs legal advantages during the Mostro Lounge negotiations. He completely writes her off as an ordinary, weak-willed human who is entirely too easy to manipulate.
After the Overblot: Jade realizes her extreme fear isn't actually about the contracts or the Leech twins' reputation, it's a fixed, psychological reaction to men in general. Does he become nice? Absolutely not. He just files this information away as a tactical profile. He realizes that threatening or yelling at the Prefect is a waste of energy because she just shuts down completely. He maintains his standard, chilly courtesy, but he stops using blatant scare tactics on her simply because a calm, calculated business negotiation gets results out of her much faster.
Azul Ashengrotto, Before the Overblot: Azul thinks she is an absolute joke of an opponent. When she comes to negotiate for the 225 students' contracts, her voice is shaking and she acts like a cornered animal. Azulâs massive ego completely balloons. He treats her with theatrical, slimy politeness while fully exploiting her anxious, apologetic nature to trap her in a terrible deal, thoroughly enjoying how easily he can dominate a magicless human girl.
After the Overblot: Azul is mortified that she saw him crying and throwing a pathetic tantrum. However, he notices that even after his defeat, she still treats him with the exact same terrified, hyper-compliant deference she did when he was winning. Azulâs sharp brain pieces together that she has survived an environment where powerful men completely controlled her. His opinion changes from "useless pawn" to "shrewd survivor." He doesn't become her friend, but his pride demands that he acts like a legitimate businessman around her. He stops trying to ruthlessly scam the Prefect and sticks strictly to fair, legally binding transactions, purely because his ego refuses to let him look like a cheap, bullying tyrant in her eyes.
Kalim Al-Asim, Before the Overblot: Kalim is naturally dense and blindingly optimistic. When the tiny, jumpy Prefect arrives at the dorm, he ignores her nervous flinching entirely and showers her with aggressive, loud hospitality. When Jamilâs brainwashing magic causes Kalim to snap into his harsh, tyrannical persona, Kalim screams at her and forces her through brutal training drills. He doesn't notice that his sudden rage makes her completely freeze with terror; he is too caught up in his own magically induced paranoia to pay attention to a magicless girl's feelings.
After the Overblot: Once the hypnosis lifts, Kalim goes right back to his cheerful, oblivious self. He feels bad that he was a terrible host, but he doesn't analyze her trauma. He just thinks she is a quiet, exceptionally polite girl. He tries to make it up to the Prefect by throwing a massive banquet, offering her endless piles of exotic food, and treating her like a normal, trustworthy friend who helped snap him out of his nightmare.
Jamil Viper, Before the Overblot: Jamil doesn't know or care why Yui is so timid; he only cares that she is incredibly easy to predict. He notices immediately that she is hyper-compliant, terrified of authority, and will do whatever she is told to avoid a conflict. Because he is busy orchestrating a secret coup, her submissive nature makes his job effortless. He uses his sharp tone and cold glare to keep the Prefect exactly where he wants her, treating her like a minor, easily managed civilian piece on his chessboard who won't dare step out of line.
After the Overblot: Jamilâs secret plot is exposed, and his true, cynical personality is out in the open. He realizes that throughout the entire desert ordeal, the Prefect never once tried to fight back, argue, or expose him, she just quietly obeyed and kept her head down out of sheer survival instinct. Jamil doesn't pity her. Instead, as someone who also spent his entire life playing a submissive, hyper-compliant role to survive a household he hated, he recognizes her behavior for what it is: a tactical defense mechanism.He doesn't become her friend or ask about her past. He just shifts his opinion of the Prefect from "useless bystander" to "someone who knows how to keep her mouth shut."
Vil Schoenheit, Before the Overblot: Vil finds her absolute lack of composure entirely unacceptable. To him, a person's posture and presence reflect their inner strength. Seeing the Prefect constantly shrinking her shoulders, ducking her head, and looking like a terrified mouse makes him snap at her to stand up straight. He hates her desperate, apologetic submissiveness, viewing it as a complete lack of self-respect and discipline. He forces her into intense vocal and dance training during the VDC camp, completely blind to the fact that his harsh, domineering perfectionism is actively triggering her deep-seated trauma.
After the Overblot: Vil's pride is completely broken after his ugly, desperate breakdown. When he cools down and regains his senses, his perception shifts. He looks at Yui, who is still trembling and visibly anxious around him, and realizes his aggressive, controlling behavior during the camp directly mirrored whatever terrifying authority figures broke her spirit in the past. As a perfectionist who prides himself on being a fair queen, he feels a quiet, heavy pang of professional regret. He doesn't coddle her, but his tone softens significantly. He stops barking orders at the Prefect and begrudgingly allows her to move at her own pace, silently respecting her survival instincts.
Rook Hunt, Before the Overblot: Rook views her as a deeply tragic, delicate flowerâreferring to her as "La Princesse Tremblante" (The Trembling Princess). True to his eccentric nature, Rook is a stalker, but he is fundamentally a passionate appreciator of life and beauty. It genuinely bothers his poetic soul to see a naturally beautiful, polite young lady living in a constant, paralyzing state of fear. He tracks her movements, analyzes her anxious habits, and frequently pops out of nowhere to offer her a fresh, single blossom or spout dramatic French poetry. He tries to comfort her in his own bizarre, overwhelming "Rook way," completely oblivious to the fact that a strange man jumping out of the bushes to hand her flowers actually scares her out of her mind. (At least he isn't bad...right?)
After the Overblot: Rookâs theatrical behavior stays exactly the same, but his understanding of her deepens. Watching her endure the absolute chaos of Vilâs raging Overblot without completely collapsing proves to him that she possesses an incredible, quiet resilience. He realizes her fear isn't a sign of weakness, but a shield she uses to survive. He continues to bring her flowers and guard her from a distance, but he tempers his sudden appearances slightly. He treats the Prefect with an exaggerated, chivalrous reverence, determined to inject some poetic beauty into her life to counteract the shadows of her past.
Epel Felmier, Before the Overblot: Epel relates to her on a surface level because he also feels completely trapped and suffocated by Vilâs overwhelming, aggressive authority. He sees Yui as a quiet, nice girl who is getting completely run over by the louder personalities in Pomefiore. Because she is frail and magicless, he tries to be gentle with her, though he is too caught up in his own miserable struggle against Vilâs demands to truly understand the depth of her hyper-vigilance.
After the Overblot: Epel feels a massive, crushing wave of guilt. Watching Vil lose his mind and scream in a fit of magical rage makes Epel look over at Yui, who is pale, hyperventilating, and utterly terrified by the display of male violence. Epel realizes that while he was just complaining about being forced to act elegant, the Prefect was genuinely, psychologically suffering under the tense, high-pressure environment they forced her into. He feels terrible for not being a better dorm host. Epel doesn't become overly dramatic about it, but he quietly vows to get stronger so he can stand between her and any aggressive figures, treating her with a protective, grounded kindness from then on. (Lmao considering he's shorter than her)
Ortho Shroud, Before the Overblot: Orthoâs advanced medical and emotional scanners immediately flag Yui's severe baseline trauma. He detects a massive spike in her heart rate and stress hormones the second she enters S.T.Y.X. headquarters, recognizing that the high-tech, clinical kidnapping was deeply overwhelming for her. Because he is a cheerful child robot and doesn't trigger her specific fear of adult men, Yui actually finds his presence somewhat comforting. Ortho uses this to his advantage, staying close to the Prefect to gently explain the facility's functions, trying his best to keep her calm during an incredibly difficult situation.
After the Overblot: Once the global threat is resolved and the automated systems power down, Ortho becomes the ultimate bridge between his brother and Yui. He sees how deeply shaken she is by the entire ordeal and takes it upon himself to check on her constantly. He actively drags her into their shared space for quiet, low-stress tech lessons, intentionally using his friendly, robotic nature to provide her a safe environment where she can breathe without feeling threatened by the older students.
Idia Shroud, Before the Overblot: Idia is forced to act as the Acting Director of S.T.Y.X. and order the capture of Grim, but the second he has to interact with Yui face-to-face, his social anxiety completely backfires. He expects a standard, annoying protagonist to yell at him. Instead, he looks at this remarkably beautiful, pale girl and realizes she is looking at him with wide, hyperventilating, genuine terror, as if he is an absolute monster about to destroy her life.After the Overblot: The sheer level of fear he caused her weighs incredibly heavily on Idia's conscience. He isn't a heartless villain; seeing a fragile, beautiful girl genuinely traumatized by his actions leaves him drowning in "otaku guilt." (LOL) He feels like the worst kind of antagonist. Because he cannot handle face-to-face apologies, he initially hides behind his tablet, but Ortho's insistence forces them into the same room during the post-crisis cleanup.As they spend quiet time together through Ortho's mediation, Idia realizes that his shut-in, reclusive nature actually works in his favor for once, because he is awkward, stays at a distance, and avoids sudden movements, he doesn't trigger her panic. Over time, his fiery blue hair subtly shifts into a flustered, embarrassed pink whenever she quietly thanks him for his help.
Sebek Zigvolt, Before the Overblot: Sebek is loud, fiercely aggressive, and commands every room with his booming voice. Because Yui is exceptionally jumpy, Sebekâs constant shouting of "YOUNG MASTER!" causes her to visibly flinch, pale, and step back every single time he opens his mouth. Sebek finds her skittishness deeply annoying and assumes the magicless Prefect is just a pathetic civilian who shouldn't be allowed on the same path as Malleus. He barks at her to stand back, completely unaware that his overwhelming, domineering male presence actively terrifies her.
After the Overblot: During the intense mental trials of Book 7, Sebek is forced to tone down his volume to coordinate with her. He notices that when he stops screaming, she stops shaking. He realizes she isn't a useless coward; she is just entirely overwhelmed by sudden, aggressive noises. Sebek grudgingly respects her quiet endurance through the dream-world chaos. He stops shouting directly at the Prefect and begins treating her with a stern, quieter level of respect, viewing her as a fragile but capable comrade who fought to save his lord.
Silver, Before the Overblot: Silver has a completely flat, mundane facial expression and a chronic habit of falling asleep on his feet. Ironically, his completely blank, unreadable face actually makes Yui incredibly nervous. Because she is hyper-vigilant and used to reading men's micro-expressions to survive, Silverâs deadpan stare and unpredictable narcolepsy leave her on edge, unable to tell what he is thinking. Silver notices her discomfort and tries to keep his distance, offering her quiet, polite nods to signal that he poses no harm.
After the Overblot: Navigating the historical knight nightmares of Book 7 helps her understand his personality completely. She realizes his flat expression isn't hidden malice, he is just genuinely, constantly exhausted by his magical condition. Her fear of his unreadable face fades into a deep, empathetic understanding. Silver respects her quiet resilience during the crisis and continues to act as a silent, calm protector who ensures the Prefect has a peaceful, non-threatening space whenever she visits Diasomnia. (I mean...after book 7 she is friendly to malleus anyways)
Lilia Vanrouge, Before the Overblot: Lilia is an ancient, playful Fae who loves dropping upside down from ceilings, popping out of shadows, and pulling chaotic tricks on unsuspecting students. For a girl who survived a house of gothic monsters, Liliaâs creepy, unpredictable jumpscares trigger her survival instincts instantly. Every time he pulls a prank, Yuiâs heart rate skyrockets, and she treats him with a terrified, hyper-compliant submissiveness. Liliaâs sharp eyes notice her severe distress right away; while he loves a good laugh, he isn't cruel, so he subtly dials back his scariest tricks around her to keep her from completely breaking down.
After the Overblot: After witnessing his deep emotional history, his magical depletion, and his complex love for his family, Yui realizes Liliaâs playful tricks are just a mask to hide his centuries of heavy weariness. Lilia holds an immense, mature respect for the Prefect. He watched her endure the absolute psychological nightmare of Malleus's spell without losing her mind. He stops treating her like an easy target for pranks and starts treating her with a gentle, elderly courtly respect, offering her a calm, safe sounding board whenever she needs to escape the school's noise.
Malleus Draconia, Before the Overblot: From Book 1 to Book 4, Yui is absolutely terrified of him. His massive horns, dark robes, and overwhelming magical aura scream "predator" to her survival instincts. She treats him with absolute, shaking deference during his midnight strolls. However, by Book 5, after realizing he genuinely just wants to chat about gargoyles and doesn't use his power to control or hurt her, she slowly lets her guard down. She begins to view him as a reliable, strangely comforting friend. Like canon Yuu, she treats him like a normal person, providing him a rare, peaceful escape from his suffocating royal expectations.
After the Overblot: The massive dream-world illusion Malleus creates in Book 7 hits her with a horrific wave of deja vu, it mimics the exact type of absolute, forced control she escaped from in her past. Yui feels a deep, quiet disappointment in him for trying to trap everyone in a beautiful, suffocating cage out of his own fear of loneliness. She doesn't scream at him, but her voice shakes with a profound sorrow as she tells him that forcing people into a false paradise is just another form of cruelty. Malleus is deeply shaken by her reaction. He realizes his actions directly triggered the ancient shadows of her past trauma. He accepts her quiet reprimand with absolute humility. He doesn't pull away from her; instead, he promises to respect her autonomy completely, continuing to visit the Prefect as a humbled friend who values her honest, unforced company above all else. (By deja vu I was referring to yui remembering the vampires and her father)
Dire Crowley (The Headmage): Crowley is an absolute opportunist, so her lack of magic just means free labor to him. He dumps the schoolâs worst crises straight onto her shoulders because he knows she is too polite and submissive to say no. Academically, she stays right in the middle of the pack, she isnât pulling top marks like Riddle, but she turns in clean, solid written homework. Crowley likes how easy she is to order around, but by the later chapters, her quiet compliance starts to make him feel weirdly guilty. He isn't a total monster, and seeing a tiny girl look completely terrified of him every time he opens his office door makes his dramatic ego take a hit. He still uses her for errands, but he starts softening his tone just so he doesn't look like a complete bully.
Divus Crewel (Alchemy & Science): Crewel has zero patience for rowdy, undisciplined kids, but Yui is the exact opposite. She keeps her head down, cleans up her station perfectly, and handles botany and potion measurements with quiet precision. Because she doesn't have magic, she has to do everything the old-fashioned way, which Crewel actually respects. What he doesn't like is her hyper-vigilance. He notices that if he snaps his whip too loudly to get the class to pay attention, she visibly flinches and shrinks into her seat. As an educator who prides himself on proper training, Crewel takes note of this. He stops cracking the whip near her desk and treats her with a stern but noticeably gentler guidance, treating the Prefect like a model student who just needs a quiet environment to work.
Ashton Vargas (Physical Education): Vargas is all about raw muscle and screaming motivation, which is an absolute nightmare for her. At first, his booming voice makes her break out into a cold sweat. However, Vargas operates strictly by the school boardâs safety rules. Once he realizes she is physically fragile and entirely magicless, his aggressive coaching style shifts into something more manageable. He doesn't force her into heavy, masculine weight-lifting or exercises that would ruin her modest comfort. He also respects her medical and personal leaves without making a massive scene in front of the boys. He still checks her stamina progress, but he keeps his distance and encourages the Prefect for her mental effort rather than forcing her to keep up with giant beastmen.
Mozus Trein (History & Humanities): Trein values dignity, silence, and traditional manners above all else. Because Yui is naturally soft-spoken, respectful, and follows classroom rules to a fault, she quickly becomes one of his favorite students. She never falls asleep or causes a ruckus like Ace and Grim. Trein treats her with a very formal, old-school scholarly respect. He notices her extreme anxiety around the rowdier male students, so he often lets her sit near the front of the lecture hall where it's quiet. To Trein, the Prefect is a rare example of proper, well-behaved youth in a school otherwise overrun by chaotic delinquents which almost the whole of NRC is...lmao...
Grim: is the Roommate Who Knows the Whole Truth...cuz Living in the exact same drafty room at Ramshackle Dorm means Grim is the only creature on campus who sees past her quiet, polite exterior. Grim doesn't understand the concepts of vampires, sacrificial brides, or the Sakamaki household, but he knows what fear looks like. He sees how she jumps at loud noises and how exhausted she gets from constantly walking on eggshells around the other students. Because Grim has a massive ego, he translates this into a personal mission. He steps in front of her constantly, barking at people like Ace or Sebek to "back off" if they get too loud. He acts as her personal noise barrier, demanding everyone leave his Prefect alone. Yui does all the cooking, cleaning, and tuna-buying, which satisfies Grim's selfish stomach. But in return, Grim offers something she desperately needs: zero expectations. He doesn't care that sheâs a magicless girl, and he doesn't demand that she act strong or elegant. When she has quiet panic attacks or stares blankly out the window late at night, Grim just thumps down onto her lap, curls up, and demands to be pet. His loud, obnoxious, and utterly non-threatening presence acts as a massive anchor for her, making Ramshackle the only place on campus where she doesn't feel like a cornered animal. (It's sad if you think about how this girl had to endure first the sakamakis then mukamis and then getting stuck in twisted wonderland...)
So... Getting ready for jade leech angst? (Inspired by angst canon analyst post of sushigeeg!) Jade leech x female!yuu
Warnings: angst, manipulation, angst, fake love, angst, jade being a teen (get it...? No...?), angst, did I mention... ANGST?
Rain tapped softly against the windows of the Mostro Lounge after closing hours. The last chair had been flipped onto the tables. The lights had dimmed. Yuu sat across from Jade in one of the private booths, fingers wrapped around a cup of tea that had long since gone cold. She wasn't smiling. She'd noticed it weeks ago. His questions had stopped. No more... "How does transportation function without magic?"
"Did your world truly have no beastmen?" "How fascinating. Tell me more." Now conversations ended in silence. Jade stirred his tea once. Twice. "...You've been avoiding me," Yuu said quietly. His eyes lifted politely. "I have?" he replied. "You know you have."
"...I see." Silence. She hated silence with Jade. It always felt as though he was waiting for her to make the mistake first. "...Did I do something wrong?" she finally asked. "No," Jade answered simply. "...Then what is it?" Jade looked at her with the same pleasant smile he'd always worn, the exact smile that had convinced her, slowly, painstakingly, that maybe he wasn't as dangerous as everyone insisted. Floyd had laughed. Azul had warned her in circles. Even Ace had once muttered, "Seriously...? Jade? That guy's scary and manipulative! Who knows what he's hiding!" She'd ignored them. Because Jade had helped. When Crowley refused to pay. When Ramshackle's roof collapsed. When food ran low at ramshackle dorm. When she needed textbooks. When she quietly admitted she had nowhere to earn enough thaumarks/madols. Jade had simply... handled it. No conditions. Or so she'd believed. "...Miss Yuu," Jade began calmly, "I believe it would be best if we ended our relationship." Her fingers froze. "...What?" she whispered. "I've enjoyed our time together," he continued. "...Enjoyed?"
"Mm."
"...That's it?" "I don't believe continuing serves much purpose." She stared. The words didn't process. "...Is this... because you're busy?"
"No."
"...Did I upset Azul somehow?"
"certainly not."
"...Then..." Her voice cracked. "...Why?" Jade folded his hands neatly. "As I said. There is little reason to continue."
"...That's not an answer."
"It is."
"No, Jade! You don't justâ" She laughed once, a tiny, broken sound. "You don't spend months helping someone... telling them they're interesting... asking about every little thing... holding their hand... and then say there's 'no reason'!" Jade regarded her quietly. His expression barely changed. "If an explanation would ease your mind..." he said. "It won't."
"...Even so," Jade continued, smiling, "I was curious." Silence. "...Curious?"
"You are a human from another world. You possess no magic. You repeatedly survive circumstances that should have been fatal. You think differently from anyone here." His tone remained gentle, almost academic. "I wished to understand you." Yuu felt cold. "...Understand me?"
"I learned of your customs. Your technology. Your language. Your values. The emotional differences between your world's people and ours," he explained. He tilted his head. "I found it... quite enlightening." She blinked. "...What are you saying?"
"I'm saying my curiosity has largely been satisfied." There was no malice. No enjoyment. No apology. Just... fact. "As such... I no longer see a reason to continue this arrangement." Arrangement. Not relationship. Arrangement. "...You're joking."
"I'm not."
"...This is a prank."
"No."
"You..." Her breathing became uneven. "You dated me... because I was research?" Jade considered that. "...An inelegant way to phrase it. But fundamentally correct." Something inside her shattered. "...Were any of it real?"
"The conversations were real. The dates occurred. I did provide financial assistance. I was genuinely curious."
"No." She shook her head violently. "That's not what I asked. Did you ever love me?" For the first time, Jade actually paused. Only for a second. Then he replied, "I don't believe I did." There wasn't even hesitation. No guilt. No discomfort. Just honesty. "...Then..." She couldn't breathe. "...Why kiss me?"
"Because couples generally do."
"...Why tell me I mattered?"
"You did. You were exceptionally interesting." "Were." Past tense. "...So once I wasn't..."
"...I became disposable?"
"I wouldn't use such harsh wording."
"You don't have to. You already did." Her voice trembled. She stood so quickly the chair nearly tipped over. "I..." Nothing came out. Nothing. Because every memory...every smile, every gift, every late-night conversation, every gentle touch, every reassuring promise...suddenly looked fake. Not fake. Studied. Observed. Catalogued. Like a rare insect pinned beneath glass. "...I hope," Jade said pleasantly, standing as well, "...that you'll continue adapting successfully to Twisted Wonderland." She stared at him. "...That's all?"
"I believe so."
"...You're horrible." His smile didn't disappear. "I've heard that before."
"...Did I ever matter?" Jade looked thoughtful. "You were one of the most fascinating individuals I've ever met."
"...But fascination eventually fades." He gave a polite bow. "Thank you for indulging my curiosity." Then he walked away. Without looking back. The bell above Mostro Lounge's door chimed softly. Yuu remained standing. Unable to move. Unable to cry. Until long after the rain swallowed the sound of his footsteps. Ramshackle Dorm. The front door slammed. Grim looked up from the couch. "Henchhuman?" No answer. She walked past him. Straight to the bedroom. The door closed. Quietly. "...Oi?" Another silence. "...Henchhuman?" He pushed the door open. She sat on the floor beside the bed, still wearing the necklace Jade had once fastened around her neck. Her hands covered her face. She was shaking. Not from anger. From trying, and failing, not to cry. Then it came. A tiny sound. Barely audible. Another. Then everything broke. She buried her face into her knees as sob after sob tore from her chest, the kind that hurt, the kind that left someone gasping between breaths.
Grim froze. "...H-Henchhuman..." He had seen her exhausted. Frustrated. Scared during overblots. He'd seen her yell at Ace. Punch Deuce. Argue with Crowley. He'd even seen her stand in front of ghosts without flinching. He had never...not once...seen her cry like this. "...Oi..." Awkwardlyâvery awkwardlyâthe little monster climbed beside her. "...He's... he's just a stupid moray." She cried harder. "...Forget him! There's gotta be somebody better!" Nothing. Grim looked completely lost. He wasn't good at this. He didn't know comforting words. Didn't know how humans handled broken hearts. So he simply scooted closer until their shoulders touched. "...I'm still here," he muttered quietly. "...You're my henchhuman. Got it?" Yuu's hands trembled. Grim looked away, pretending not to notice the tears soaking into his fur. "...H-Hey! Quit crying into my fur... It's gonna smell all salty..." He didn't push her away.
Riddle rosehearts x FEM!yuu fanfic (inspired from canon analyst given by sushigeeg! Check out their post!)
Warnings: angst, a bit...stuff if yk biology, mistreatment, betrayal, fatherless kid (sadly), pure angst, future timeline, angst, did I mention angst?
It was a sad truth. Fem!yuu couldn't stay in twisted wonderland forever even after graduation. And knowing Crowley, he kept giving excuses he would find a way back for her... Sooner... Till then she must find a place to stay with grim...either in ramshackle dorm except she would be an adult thus she would have to work in NRC instead of remaining a student there forever... Though yuu knew living in ramshackle dorm was gonna exhaust her and grim even after repairs were paid by the vdc team in book 6. Without crowley finding a way for her...she decided to take a step ahead... Maybe asking her boyfriend riddle wouldn't hurt? At the beginning of their relationship (during book 6) riddle tried controlling his anger though he wouldn't always succeed, he did slightly become different and yuu helped him change his behavior...even if it was just slight. She loved him and supported him and helped him... Surely he would help her...right? Gathering her courage she went to him...
The rain was coming down hard, making everything look gray and miserable. Yuu stood on the perfectly cut grass of the Rosehearts estate in queendom of roses, shivering as she held onto her one small bag. For three years, sheâd been stuck in Twisted Wonderland, unable to get home after graduation too. She had given everything to Riddle, her time, her comfort, and her heart. When the school year ended and she had nowhere left to go, she had looked right at him and asked, "Since I'm your girlfriend, can I stay with you? You love me, right?"
He had smiled then. He told her yes. But that promise didn't mean anything the second his mother came home from her month-long vacation. The moment miss Rosehearts found out her son was letting a magicless stranger live in her house, she absolutely lost it. She didn't care that Riddle was an adult. She didn't care about Yuu at all. "Get out of my house," the woman snapped, her voice cutting through the room. "I won't have a useless parasite living under my roof." Yuu didn't even look at the mother. She kept her eyes glued to Riddle, her fingers reaching out to grab his sleeve. She was begging him with her eyes to say something, anything.
She was the one who held him when he overblotted, the one who stayed by his side when everyone else was afraid of him.But Riddle wouldn't look at her. He stood there, completely stiff, staring at the floorboards with his fists clenched tightly at his sides. "Mother is right," Riddle muttered, his voice sounding totally blank and empty. "Rule two hundred and forty-nine... uninvited guests aren't allowed to stay. You need to leave, Yuu."
Yuu felt something inside her just snap and go cold. She didn't cry, and she didn't scream. The sadness was just too heavy for that. She dropped her hand, turned around, and walked right out into the rain. By some twisted miracle, the second she dragged herself back to Night Raven College, Crowley called her on her phone. "Yuu! The dark mirror finally found a pathway back to your world! You can go home!"
She didn't hesitate. She didn't even leave a note for Ace or Deuce. She stepped right through the glass and left Twisted Wonderland behind.
Ten Years Later....The big twist was that the mirror in her own bedroom turned out to be magical, too. It acted like a permanent door. She could actually go back and forth between worlds whenever she wanted.But two weeks after getting home, she started throwing up every morning. Yuu sat on her bathroom floor, looking at the positive pregnancy test, laughing bitterly. She was pregnant. It had happened right before Riddle's mother came back. A final parting gift from a guy who couldn't even stand up to his mom for her. Yuu swore right then that she would raise this baby alone and never look back.
Ten years flew by. Yuu built a completely new life in her world. Her daughter, Rosaline, was nine now, a bright, happy kid who unfortunately inherited Riddleâs exact bright red hair and sharp gray eyes. Yuu rarely used the mirror, only going back to visit the few people who actually cared about her. Ace and Deuce had grown up into great guys, and Grim was still hanging around. They were the best uncles Rosaline could ask for. For Rosaline's ninth birthday, Ace and Deuce suggested having a small party at Deuceâs mom's house so they could celebrate away from all the stressful magic school stuff. Deuce's mom, Dylla, was incredibly sweet and welcomed them with open arms.
"Mommy, look at me!" Rosaline giggled, spinning around in the living room.Yuu smiled, adjusting her clothes. She had dressed up for the party in a traditional red saree from her world. It was a soft, simple fabric, but the bright red perfectly matched Rosalineâs hair. It felt nice to take that specific color, the color that used to remind her of Riddle, and turn it into something that just represented her love for her daughter.
"You look perfect, sweetie," Yuu said. "Can we go walk outside?" Rosaline begged, tugging her arm. "Just the two of us? Without Uncle Ace and Uncle Deuce being loud?" Yuu could hear Ace and Deuce in the kitchen loudly arguing over how to cut the birthday cake. She laughed. "Alright, fine. But wait on the porch for a second. I think I heard something by the front gate, let me check it first." Rosaline nodded, her red pigtails bouncing as she skipped outside.
Riddle Rosehearts walked down the quiet neighborhood street, his coat perfectly pressed. He was a successful doctor now, exactly like his mother wanted. He had followed every single rule, checked every box, and fulfilled every expectation. And he was completely miserable. He felt like a robot just going through the motions. Then, he stopped dead in his tracks. Sitting on a porch step just a few yards away was a little girl. She was humming a random tune, but that wasn't what caught his attention.It was her hair. It was a bright, unmistakable scarlet red.The girl looked up, and Riddle felt his stomach drop. Her eyes were a sharp, piercing gray. It was like looking at a happy, unbothered version of himself from when he was a kid. "Hi," Riddle said, his voice shaking a little. He walked closer, completely off-balance. "Are you waiting for someone?" "My mommy," Rosaline said with a big smile, tilting her head. "She's checking the gate. Who are you? Your hair looks just like mine!" Riddle couldn't breathe. The timeline crashed together in his head. Ten years had passed by...Sheâs... nine years old?
"What's your name?" Riddle whispered. He didn't even care that his expensive pants were getting dirty as he dropped to his knees on the path, desperately wanting to reach out to her. "Rosaline," she said. Right then, the front door clicked open. "Rosaline, I told you to stay, "Yuu froze on the top step.Riddle looked up, and his heart stopped. There she was. She looked older, more confident, wearing a beautiful red saree that made her look stunning. But when she looked down at him, her eyes were completely dead. There was no anger, no love, just nothing."Mommy!" Rosaline stood up, feeling how weird and tense the air had suddenly gotten. Yuu didn't even glance at Riddle. She kept her eyes entirely on her daughter. "Rosaline," she said, her voice completely cold and level. "Get away from that man and come here right now." Rosaline looked confused but immediately ran up the steps, grabbing Yuu's hand.
"Yuu..." Riddle's voice cracked. He scrambled to his feet, his hands shaking. "Yuu, please. Is she... is she mine?" Yuu finally looked him in the face, her expression totally blank. "She's my daughter. She doesn't belong to anyone else."
"Yuu, look at her! Look at me!" Riddle completely lost his cool. All his perfect doctor manners disappeared, leaving him looking frantic and desperate. "I know what I did! I know I was a coward! My mother... I couldn't stop her, but please! Let me be a father to her. Let me fix this. I can give her whatever she wants, I can take care of both of youâ"
"You let your mother throw me out into the rain, Riddle," Yuu interrupted, her quiet voice instantly cutting him off. She picked Rosaline up, holding her tightly against her hip, using the red fabric of her saree to block the kid's view of him. "You chose your mom's rules over me. You don't get to come back ten years later and ask for the family you threw away."
"Yuu! Wait! Just talk to me!" Riddle cried out, reaching his hand out as she turned around. "Don't leave me again! Yuu!"
Yuu didn't look back. She walked ahead in hurry...and she was gone. Riddle slowly let his hands drop. He turned around, looking at the empty street. He had his career. He had his mother's approval. He had followed all the rules. But as he sank to his knees on the pavement, Riddle finally realized that none of it mattered, because he had completely ruined his own life.
(y'all be wondering where grim was when yuu stayed with riddle before his mother came, well grim was in nrc with Crowley, he stayed there to help yuu find way back because he cares for his henchwoman don't worry y'all. After ten years he does spend time with Rosaline in platonic affection and his own grim way lol).

WC: 4632
pt.1 :: pt.2 :: pt.3 :: pt.4
The first part of this was a slog to get through and it's choppy, more exposition, but now we can get into the MEAT. Also! Not me mixing up the character count and the word count! im dumb. i've got over 20k in the chamber for this fic not fucking 70k and thats an enormous difference. Anyways, if yall wanna be tagged in subsequent chapters just lemme know, thanks for the warm welcome backđŤś
Also, the outfit I'm describing for Leona is the prince one from his dream because it's yummy :)
Leonaâs family gave you a single day to settle in before you were getting dragged in every direction. Contrary to what Leona would have you believe, you didnât think youâd be able to get bored with everything happening. The first morning you were there, Shani came to your room and examined your open closet, your piddly five casual outfits hanging lonely in the massive space. She shook her head disapprovingly before announcing that she was taking you shopping. You tried to protest, insisting that she didnât have to, but she wouldnât hear it.
âWe are having a small gathering this weekend at the palace,â she explained as you followed her down the hall, âmostly family members, council members, a few close friends. Nothing serious, but I donât want you to feel out of place again. And that is not nearly enough clothes for two weeks.â
She went overboard, you kind of expected she would. Youâd left with her just after breakfast and didnât arrive back until just before dinner. She dragged you to high end boutiques-- attendants and guards in tow, of course-- herding you into the dressing rooms and bringing you literal piles of things to try on. By the time you stopped for lunch, you felt dizzy at the sheer amount of money sheâd spent. And she didnât stop at clothes, because of course she didnât. She bought you shoes and makeup and perfume and accessories and various snacks she just wanted you to try. When you got back to the palace, you ran into Leona in the hall, and he snickered at your bewildered face as Shani directed attendants to bring the bags to your room. You thanked her profusely-- as you had been every time her card was swiped-- and she waved you off, as she did every time.
âThink nothing of it.â She assured you, beaming as she put a warm hand on your shoulder. âI was glad to spend the day with you.â
She squeezed your shoulder once before turning to walk off down the hall, you still dizzy and confused in her wake. You slowly turned to Leona, who was still looking highly amused at your baffled expression.
âShe ainât great at taking no for an answer.â He huffed in explanation.
âShe just dropped more money on me than I think Iâll ever see in my life.â You mumbled.
After dinner, Cheka dragged you off to show you his room, Leona reluctantly following after the two of you when you gave him a pleading look. Chekaâs room was-- for lack of a better word-- opulent, for a five year old. A typical large room youâd seen in the palace painted with images of what was depicted at the fountain. Light and bright and colorful, and more gold than any five year old would really ever care about. He sat you and Leona on the floor and started running around the room, stopping in front of you to drop piles of toys at your feet. You did the appropriate amount of oohing and ahhing at his collection as he explained each figure, gave you the names of all his stuffed animals. Leona watched in silence at the interaction, showing a tremendous amount more patience for Cheka than youâd seen out of him previously. At most, he gave a little hum and a nod as Cheka would hand him something, waiting for the boyâs back to be turned to put it down on the floor. He watched as you nodded along with what Cheka was telling you, repeating things back to keep him interested. You smiled as he darted off again, glancing over to Leona for a moment before he darted back and grabbed your wrist with his little hand.
âAnd this one is my favorite!â Cheka explained, carefully putting a figure in your hand. âMama says Iâm not supposed to play with it âcause itâs fragileââ he leaned in conspiratorially, âthat means it breaks easy.â You nodded in exaggerated understanding before looking down at what heâd handed you. âI still play with it sometimes, but I try to be extra careful. Kifaji already had to glue the tail back on, see?â
It was a glass-- maybe crystal, considering where you were-- lion, no bigger than the length of your hand. Obviously made to go on display somewhere, not in a childâs bedroom. Sure enough, there was a small crack in the tail, lovingly patched back together with glue.
âIsnât it pretty, Auntie?â Cheka beamed at you.
âItâs very pretty.â You agreed, holding it back out for him. âBut we should maybe put that one back since itâs so fragile and important, we donât want to mix it up with all your other toys.â
He nodded quickly before carefully wrapping both hands around it and running back to where heâd gotten it from. You turned back to Leona, giving him a questioning look as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
âI got them that to put in the nursery for his first birthday,â he huffed quietly, ânot for him to play with.â
âAw, thatâs really sweet.â
He clicked his tongue irritably. âSome cheap mark a dozen trinket from the town. Guess it wonât be my fault if he ends up shatterinâ it and needinâ stitches.â
You stared at him for a moment before snorting out a small laugh. âWay to kill a cute moment.â
The rest of the week was largely the same, Shani bringing you out on nice days to see the garden in the courtyard, Cheka dragging you to every end of the palace to show you all his favorite spots between his lessons, even Kifaji brought you with for your opinion on the preparations for the âgatheringâ that was supposed to happen over the weekend. You didnât see Falena often, mostly just during meal times. It wasnât surprising, the crown prince and acting ruler of an entire nation had to be busy. Conversations with him were usually just small talk. For the most part.
âSo, Yuu,â he started after dinner was served on your fourth day there, quickly catching your attention, âI apologize for not asking before, but where are you from?â
You shot a glance at Leona across from you. When he met your gaze, he just shrugged as if to say it was your decision.
âThatâs⌠a long story, actually.â You chuckled awkwardly.
âWhat, Briar Valley?â Falena asked with a wide smirk. âThe islands to the west of the Shaftlands?â
âNo, uhâŚâ You hesitated a moment at the implications of telling someone outside Night Raven College about your circumstance. But Falena was kind, and if he was anything like his wife, you didn't think he would just brush you off as insane. âIâm not from Twisted Wonderland.â
There was a short pause as Falena and Shani glanced at each other, then to Leona, who simply nodded at them before going back to his dinner.
âHow⌠does that work?â Falena asked slowly.
âThe Dark Mirror transported me here from my world at the beginning of the school year.â You explained awkwardly. âCrowley doesnât know how how or why it happened, or how to send me home. Itâs why Iâm at Night Raven despite having no magic in me whatsoever. I deal with⌠problems for the Headmage and he works on finding me a way back⌠In theoryâŚâ You muttered the last comment under your breath as you turned to your plate.
Shani nodded slowly at the realization. âThatâs what you were talking about when I was dressing you for the Cloudcalling.â
âYeah, he keeps saying heâs working on it butâŚâ You trailed off with a light shrug.
Falena folded his arms over his chest as he leaned back in his chair, examining you for a moment. You squirmed slightly under the unexpected scrutiny. âAnother world?â
âYes. Magic doesnât exist there⌠a lot of things here donât exist there.â
âInteresting⌠I wonder if there's anything in our libraries on this matterâŚâ He mused.
âThere's not.â Leona chimed in gruffly, not looking up from his food.
The table was awkwardly silent for a moment, Falenaâs eyes locked on you as you ate. Even here, even with the overblots, youâd never felt smaller. Despite seeming unfazed, you could see the tension in Leonaâs posture, even catching his ears twitch back against his skull for a moment. You watched Chekaâs eyes flick between you, his parents, and Leona next to him.
âRegardless, we are glad to have you here now,â Shani said to break the tension, placing a hand on Falenaâs arm, âright darling?â
âOf course!â Falena replied quickly, tone quickly changing back to its usual boisterousness. âI suppose Iâm just⌠amazed. Iâve never heard of such a thing.â
::
Looking back, you suppose you should have checked with Leona or Kifaji on what constituted a âsmall gatheringâ in a royal household. On Saturday after lunch, Shani followed you to your room, pulling out the dress sheâd picked out for you for the event, matching accessories and shoes to it as she shooed you into the bathroom to do your makeup. Looking over the spread on the counter made you nearly as nervous as when Vil picked out a basket of skincare supplies for you after everyoneâs return from Styx as a thank you. Not that you didnât know what products did what or how to use them, but just looking at them, you could tell they were worth more than Ramshackle was before the renovations. Shit, maybe even after the renovations. Even with that horrifying revelation, you did as requested and did your makeup. You were only about halfway through when Shani came in with the full outfit, laying out jewelry on the other side of the counter before handing you the dress and leaving the room. You smirked at the familiarity of it as she closed the door behind her. You changed into the dress quickly, frowning as you looked yourself over in the mirror. The dress was just black and gold, but something about the cut was something you just wouldnât wear of your own volition. It wasnât by any means uncomfortable, it fit perfectly, the fabric was buttery smooth, there was only a tasteful amount of leg, and it was objectively gorgeous, but it just felt wrong on your body. Nevertheless, you let Shani back into the bathroom, letting her gush and fawn over you for a moment before going back to your makeup. Once you were done, you slipped on the jewelry sheâd picked out and stepped into the shoes. You let her fuss with your hair for a bit before she settled on just keeping it down. She gave you one more look over, beaming excitedly as she did.
âNow that youâre ready,â she started slowly, leading you back into the bedroom where a second outfit was waiting on the bed, âI hoped you could do me a favor.â You watched her curiously as she moved over to the bed, gently scooping the suit off the bedding and giving you an awkward smile as she presented it to you. âYouâre the only one here who has a chance of convincing him to wear this.â
The suit, as Shani had done for the Cloudcalling, matched your dress. Black and gold but still muted and classy. Still laying on the bed next to where the suit had been was a neatly folded shawl with a pair of black dress boots on top.
You huffed out a little laugh before carefully taking the suit from her. âIâll do what I can, but I canât make any promises.â You assured her, watching her theatrically deflate with relief.
âThat is all I ask.â She sighed, giving you a warm smile. âPeople will start arriving in two hours, so I need to go get Cheka ready. He has the sweetest little suit, I cannot wait to show you!â
Her excitement was infectious as she gave a little bounce on her way out of the room. For a crown princess, in private, she acted like a school girl sometimes and it was completely endearing. You chuckled to yourself at the thought as you carefully draped the suit over your arm to pick up the shawl and boots, adjusting your hold as you felt jewelry folded carefully into the fabric. After making sure you hadnât dropped anything or left anything behind, you made your way down the hall to Leonaâs room, nodding to a pair of passing guards as you went. You knocked on his door and waited a moment, not hearing any movement inside, before letting yourself in. As expected, Leona was sprawled out on his bed, his tail twitching lightly at the sounds of your footsteps. You rolled your eyes fondly as you closed the door behind you, crossing the room to set his outfit down on the dresser.
âLeona.â You called out softly as you moved over to his bed, perching on the edge to lightly shake his shoulder.
You barely had to touch him before he cracked one eye open. His annoyed expression from being woken up quickly melted away to confusion as he looked you over.
âThe hell are you wearing?â He grumbled, his voice deeper from how long heâd been asleep.
âShani picked it out for the party tonight.â You explained before pulling a sly smirk. âWanna match in public again?â
He pulled his head up off the pillow, turning to look at the suit youâd hung from one of the drawers before grumbling loudly and plopping back down. âGreat, so weâre keeping up appearances tonight...â He sighed in realization.
âWhat do you mean?â
âThe last time they made me wear that was when they announced our fatherâs illness and Falena as the acting king.â
âOhâŚâ you glanced back at the suit for a moment, âwell, Shani did say there was going to be some council members coming.â
He scoffed heavily, closing his eyes again. âWhat a painâŚâ
âIf itâs too much of a pain, we can just ditch.â You offered with a smirk, gently shoving his shoulder again.
âIâm holding you to that.â
Once Leona was dressed in his suit, he came back out to sit next to you on his bed, tucking the shawl into the suit jacket as you reached over to put in his usual braids. He handed you gold clasps to cover the hair ties as he untangled the assortment of necklaces that had been in the bundle. Youâd seen him dressed up before-- the ceremonial robes, the liongarb-- but heâd never looked so⌠regal. You tore your gaze away to focus on the second braid, tying it off and snapping the clasp into place. You sat back to examine as he slid on the provided rings, watching him flex his fingers with them on. For the first time since youâd met him, he actually looked like the prince that he was.
âWhatâs that look for?â He asked without looking up.
âNothing⌠You look nice.â
âDonât stare too much, Herbivore,â he smirked, glancing up at you for a second, âIâll get terribly embarrassed.â
"Oh fuck off!" You laughed, rolling your eyes.
::
It had already been a long night of meeting way more people than you'd expected from a "small gathering" when Cheka found you chatting with a few of the Kingscholar cousins, tugging on your sleeve to get you to lean down to him. You crouched next to him, leaning in for him to speak in your ear as he waved you over.
"I can't find Mama..." He muttered to you. Upon closer inspection, he looked completely nervous, teary eyed, wringing at the hems of his jacket and the sleeves as he glanced around.
"It's okay, Cheka," you assured him just loud enough for him to hear, rubbing his back gently, "I saw her just a little bit ago. Do you want me to help you find her?"
He nodded slowly, shuffling forward to wrap his arms around your neck. You stayed crouched there for a moment before realizing he was not about to let go, too nervous to stay down at knee level anymore. You pulled him a little closer before scooping him into your arms and standing up, turning to give the Kingscholar cousins an apologetic look only to find they had already moved on. No huge loss there. You could hardly blame Cheka for getting lost, the courtyard was huge, especially with so many people milling around. It took longer than you'd been expecting to find his parents. You felt like you'd circled the place at least twice by the time you heard Falenaâs boisterous laughter coming from near the fountain. You set Cheka down to lead him over by the hand, slowing to a stop when you heard part of Falena's conversation.
âWell, surely she isnât Prince Leonaâs mate.â An older gentleman huffed, a note of distaste in his tone. You thought you recognized him, a family friend? Maybe a council member? Youâd met so many people today.
âOh, come now, heâs still young! Still in school even!â Falena brushed the man off with his usual smile, you barely noticed Cheka let go of your hand to run and join his parents. âLet the boy have some fun before he rejoins the real world! Iâm sure heâll find a proper mate eventually!â
Your heart sunk to your toes, the bright tone youâd gotten so used to sounded sour now. You werenât sure why it hurt so bad, it wasnât as if he was insulting you as Leonaâs partner. You werenât Leonaâs partner. You were friends who flirted at the very best, you werenât even sure if Leona wanted anything more. Maybe it hurt so bad because you now knew if that changed, if Leona did want to be with you, that you werenât actually accepted by his family. You flinched as you watched Shani smack his arm, glowering at him as she spoke under her breath before Falenaâs head snapped over to you. You only froze for a second, watching his expression turn guilty before you disappeared into the crowd. You needed to get out of here, out of the throngs of people, out of the palace, out of the Savanna. You were nearly to the door of the courtyard when someone caught your arm, causing you to swing back around.
âThere you are, Herbivore.â Leona grumbled, glancing around at all the people. âI swear, these people get more insufferable every time I come to these things...â His eyes flitted back to you as you tried to level your expression, making him furrow his brows. âWhatâs wrong?â
âI just remembered I forgot to call Grim,â you lied quickly, âwe promised to call every other night. Iâll be right back, okay?â
The lie was weak, forced, he could see the glassiness in your eyes, but Leona figured if it was enough to lie to him about, he should just let you leave. He pulled you in a little closer, lowering his voice. âIâll meet you in my room in ten, got it?â
You nodded reluctantly, prompting him to let go of your arm. Once his grip was off of you, you gave him a smile that didnât quite reach your eyes before booking it out of the room. He watched you leave, confused, before turning back to the crowds. It didnât take him long to find Falena and Shani, Falena obvious getting an earful from his wife while Cheka watched the fish in the fountain.
â...and why does it matter to you who he takes?â He heard Shani growling quietly as he approached. âWhat business is that of ours, huh?â
âThe fuck happened?â Leona hissed quietly when he got close enough, making Falena turn to face him.
Falena groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. âShe wasnât... meant to hear that.â He grumbled.
âHear what?â Leona snapped, ears flattening against his head. He shouldâve known Falena had done something.
âPerhaps you two should take this elsewhere.â Shani snapped, glaring at either of them. âIf this comes to blows, I wonât have it be in front of guests.â
âYes, my love.â Falena sighed before turning to Leona, gesturing for him to follow.
He lead the way out of the courtyard, back into the palace and down a few doors to a lounge off the main hall, a pair of guards moving to post up at the door. Leona could smell the wine drifting off his brother as he walked past to stand in the middle of the room, arms crossed as Falena closed the doors behind them.
âWell?â Leona snapped.
âCome on, brother,â Falena rolled his eyes as he turned around to cross the room, keeping his tone light, âyou canât find fault with my words on this one! Yuu is a nice girl, but letâs be honest, she isnât exactly mate material!â
Leonaâs eyebrows shot to his hairline. âExcuse me?â
âYou wonât even acknowledge her as such! Iâm sure thatâs because you know it too!â He continued, Leonaâs glare getting more murderous as he kept shoving his own foot in his mouth.
âAnd she heard you telling people that?â Leona growled from deep in his chest, tail flicking wildly, pinching the bridge of his nose in irritation. âHow many people have you gone around spouting that bullshit to?â
âThe few who have asked who sheâs supposed to be.â Falena waved him off, rubbing at his forehead. âIâm all for you having fun at school, Leona, I encourage it even! But people are curious, and they know theyâre not going to get an answer from you.â
âAnd what if I had come in here and announced her as my mate?â Leona challenged. âI have no claim to the throne anymore, thereâs no need for me to keep up appearances, I can take whoever I want to as a mate.â
âI suppose you can, but her? The magicless human from nowhere?â He scoffed, giving him an incredulous smile. âLeona, sheâs just a fun school daysâ plaything, not a future wife to a prince!â
âDonât talk about her like that.â Leona growled again, fists balling up at his sides.
âShe is a stepping stone to someone better for you, not--â
Falena didnât get to finish his sentence as Leonaâs fist cracked across his face, sending him stumbling backwards. Before he could even recover, Leona grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, dragging him to eye level. His nose was bleeding, blood dripping down to his chin and onto his shirt as they stared each other down.
âStop talking or so help me I will make Cheka king before he reaches six.â
âLeona--â
âShut up.â Leona hissed before tossing him aside to storm out of the room.
Heâd wanted an excuse to be done with this whole charade, but not at your expense. He quickly made his way through the palace towards his room, ignoring the few people milling about in the halls. He wasnât entirely surprised that you werenât there, in all honesty. Youâd probably holed up in your own room to wait everything out. He made his way to his closet, pulling out a suitcase to pack for the foreseeable future. He wasnât planning on coming back if he could help it, not unless you begged him to. He filled the suitcase with everything heâd need-- clothes, toiletries, chargers, the few trinkets he didnât want to leave behind-- before tossing it over his shoulder, pocketing his wallet and phone, and heading back out into the hall to head for your room. The guards eyes followed him as he went, obviously curious, but said nothing. He stopped at your door, knocking twice before entering. You turned your head away as he walked in, swiping the sleeve of your shirt across your face as you did. Youâd changed out of the dress youâd been in, obviously just throwing on whatever you could get your hands on first to get out of the outfit. The dress was left crumpled on the floor in front of the closet, and the jewelry was scattered across the bed. Leona only barely acknowledged them before putting his suitcase down next to the door as he shut it. He approached you carefully, sitting slowly on the bed next to you and putting a hand on your back.
âPack your shit, weâre outta here.â He mumbled, dragging his thumb up and down comfortingly.
âWhat? No, Iâm sure I just misunderstood--â
âYou didnât.â He cut you off with a sharp huff of breath. âSides, itâs too late for understanding, I already decked him.â
âWhat?!â You exclaimed, turning to face him, eyes red and makeup hastily removed. âLeona, you didnât!â
âI did.â He said seriously. âHeâs my brother before heâs my king, which means I get to put him in his place when he says stupid shit.â
âBut... heâs not wrong, I mean--â
âNo, he is. Even Shani was tearing him a new asshole.â He huffed, rolling his eyes. âYou want help packing?â
You sighed heavily, swiping at your face again. âIâve already got it all.â You mumbled and he followed your gaze to your suitcase by the bathroom door. âI was thinking about just going but... I didnât know where to even go. I just didnât want to go back to the party.â
âI got a plan.â He stood, offering you his hand to follow. âDouble check that youâve got everything, we ainât cominâ back.â
You took his hand, letting him help you to your feet and stuffing your phone into your pocket before going to check the bathroom to make sure you had everything. He grabbed your suitcase, slinging it over one shoulder, then his own which went over the other. After a moment, you came back out to check the closet and nightstand before joining him at the door. The only things youâd left behind were what Shani had bought you that first day. It didnât feel right taking any of it with anymore. You followed him silently as he led you through the halls, not saying anything when he glared at anyone who looked at you too closely. He led you out the side exit to the palaceâs retinue of cars, stopping behind a black sedan and setting the bags down. He ducked into the driverâs side, pulling the keys from the visor to start the car and crank the heat before motioning for you to hop in. You climbed in the passenger side while he slid the bags into the trunk and pulled out his phone to make some calls. Heâd pulled up the number for a hotel, stopping just short of dialing as he heard footsteps jogging to meet him.
âWhat?â He snapped, glaring up at Kifaji as he stopped next to the car.
âWhat happened?â Kifaji asked, sounding more tired than anything.
âFalena is a jackass, thatâs what happened.â Leona scoffed, shutting the trunk and turning to get into the car. âIâll call to have someone come get the car after we leave.â
âLeona, please.â Kifaji sighed, stopping him before he could open the door. âDrinks are flowing, Iâm certain Falena meant no harm--â
âDoesnât matter what he meant. He made Yuu cry, Iâm not gonna make her put up with his shit for a second longer than she has to.â Leona continued to the driverâs seat, looking back at Kifaji for a second before getting in. âAsk him yourself, if youâre so damn curious.â
Before Kifaji could get out another word, Leona shut the door, neither of you saying anything as he backed out of the parking space and drove off into the night. You watched Kifaji sigh heavily and slowly shake his head in the rearview before disappearing from sight.
I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION TO USE MY WORK TO TRAIN AI
Summary: The Housewardens' behaviour after figuring out they have a crush on someone (you)!
A/N: GN!reader, reader was written with Yuu in mind but doesn't have to be. I feel like I'm a bit mean to Leona here but he's actually my favourite of the characters on this list. Reblogs appreciated!
Warnings: Some of them get a little angsty. Discussions of death and mortality in Malleus'. They're all kind of pathetic
RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS
⢠Riddle does take a while to realise it, and practically everyone else in Heartslabyul notices his feelings for you before he does.
⢠In all fairness, Riddle doesn't have much to go off of here. He barely experienced normal friendship in his childhood, so I doubt he's ever properly had a crush on anyone in his life. Maybe fictional characters. His frame of reference is basically non-existent, so you'll forgive him for being rather clueless.
⢠It was extremely obvious to everyone around you two though. Most in his dorm didn't say anything to him about it, aside from Cater who would make a few teasing remarks here and there (and quickly pass it off as a joke), and of course Ace, who was particularly annoying about it whenever he thought you were getting special treatment.
⢠When he does realise, his immediate reaction is worry.
⢠Riddle doesn't have many close friends. And the ones he does have, he's scared to lose. That includes you, even if he now knows his feelings for you are beyond platonic friendship. You are still important to him as a friend, too, and he doesn't want to lose that.
⢠Once he realises his crush, his behaviour does absolutely change around you. I don't necessarily see him as the tsundere type? But he will be very easily embarrassed by small acts of kindness or really anything that shows you care about him. He may even attempt to distance himself a bit, because he doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of you.
⢠As for whether he'd confess, I think he ultimately would, but he'd agonise over it quite a bit.
⢠Like I already said, he doesn't want to lose you. Even if his feelings aren't returned, he would want to stay friends, and he wouldn't want things to change between you two either. For this reason, he put off being honest about his feelings for quite a while; but ultimately came to the conclusion that he had to.
⢠It came down to Riddle thinking it would be unfair to keep it from you. He feels guilty for "lying," in a way, and ends up getting it out there just because he thinks you deserve to know, rather than because he truly thinks you'll reciprocate.
LEONA KINGSCHOLAR
⢠Leona's difficult. About everything
⢠Something in him knew he felt a certain type of way about you a very long time ago, but it took him a lot longer to admit that to himself, even longer to even think of admitting it to anyone else.
⢠His first strategy is to ignore you, as well as his feelings for you, thinking that if it's just a meaningless crush, it'll go away. When it doesn't, he'll spend a good while sulking and angsting about it in bed.
⢠When he finally comes to terms with it, his behaviour is kind of confusing. Hear me out: I think he fumbles, but in the way that he overthinks, so goddamn much.
⢠It's very difficult to just have a conversation with this man post-him accepting his feelings for you, because every time he speaks to you, he's over-analysing every word that comes out of your mouth, turning it over a million times in his head before arriving at the "best" conclusion as to what to do next. The problem with this is that it just makes him come across as very strange.
⢠Nothing he says is natural or seems like a normal response, or something that should come out of his mouth. It's like he's committed to a 4d chess game thinking you're on the same wavelength while you are playing checkers.
⢠He's also fully aware of how embarrassing every interaction with you is for him and beats himself up over it relentlessly. Sometimes Ruggie will give him a look as if to say "are you good man? what was that?" and Leona wants to disappear.
⢠Would he confess? I'm honestly not sure - leaning towards no. Leona is a person so full of self-loathing that I think he's more likely to resign himself to pining from a distance, with the reasoning that he feels you shouldn't have to put up with him and his plethora of issues.
⢠I can, however, see him confessing for a similar reason to Riddle - because he thinks you deserve to just know. I also think he might confess if he thinks that it might be his last chance to do so at any point, if that makes sense.
⢠Honestly just take the initiative and confess to him yourself. It's so much easier.
AZUL ASHENGROTTO
⢠So, unfortunately for you, Azul on his own is kind of hopeless with a crush. But, unfortunately for him, Azul is not on his own!
⢠Azul is actually pretty decent at hiding his feelings for you behind a poker-face, but he can only pass it off to people who don't know him well. Jade and Floyd know him very well.
⢠They're extremely unhelpful at first and do nothing but embarrass him. They don't directly say anything about it to you, but Jade gives you both knowing looks whenever he sees Azul speaking to you, and Floyd has made sneaky little remarks about it in front of you in the past, which he thinks is funny to do because it always makes Azul flail in trying to shut him up.
⢠They start taking it more seriously over time when they start realising that Azul really doesn't plan to do anything about his feelings.
⢠He's insecure, absolutely riddled with self-doubt, and as childish as it may sound, he is scared of being laughed at. Of coming to you with his feelings and being made a laughingstock, treated the same way by you as he was by his peers when he was a child.
⢠This basically answers the question of whether or not he would confess: No. Absolutely not.
⢠That is, for the time being. Like I said, he isn't alone.
⢠Jade and Floyd won't actually sit him down and have a heartfelt conversation about this with him, that's not really how their dynamic is. However, they will start actively trying to set the two of you up. Literally "Jade asking Azul to meet him at a specific time while Floyd does the same to you, only for neither of them to show up and you and Azul are alone together" type schemes going on here.
⢠It's mostly just endless ploys to get the two of you alone together to just, talk. In the hopes that, eventually, Azul will become comfortable enough with you to let his guard down and finally just tell you. They are sincerely trying to help.
⢠Time is running out though, because if Azul doesn't do it soon, Floyd might get bored and tell you instead.
KALIM AL-ASIM
⢠Kalim is also going to take a while to realise he has a crush on you. Jamil might actually have to tell him, because he's likely to start doing kind of romantic things with you (i.e holding hands, calling you beautiful, buying you very expensive gifts) without really seeing any of it as romantic. Once he's told, it all clicks in his head, and he comes to terms with it very easily.
⢠Too easily, in fact.
⢠Kalim's biggest problem is that he is going to come off way too strong, way too fast. And Jamil is going to have to be the one to listen to him go on about it and try to give him advice.
⢠Kalim's notes so far on what not to do (from experience):
⢠Do not skip everything and jump straight to marriage. He just thought it would be the quickest, most efficient, most romantic declaration of his love! To tell you that he wants to be together forever. But marriage is, of course, a process that could potentially uproot your entire life, and is a big step forward even for couples who have been together for years. So perhaps it shouldn't be the first step. He didn't return the ring though, just in case he gets to use it in the future.
⢠Don't tell people you are dating when neither of you have even asked the other out. He just thought it was obvious that you both liked each other, so he assumed that meant you were dating. He did end up referring to you as his "partner" to quite a few people though, so he had to correct that.
⢠No pet names, no extravagant gestures, and no absurdly expensive gifts. "Just don't come off too strong in general," was what Jamil said. "You'll scare them off."
⢠Eventually, he will settle down and give you a normal, toned-down confession. Ignore the fireworks that go off right after. He definitely did not order those.
VIL SCHOENHEIT
⢠Vil's situation is still a bit complicated, but he's far less awkward about the whole thing than a lot of the others on this list. He's actually just a pretty normal guy with a crush.
⢠Firstly, his demeanour doesn't change much. He won't get shy around you, if anything he gets far bolder, and I do absolutely see him as the type to flirt. He'd like it if he can get a flirty banter dynamic going with you before anything becomes official.
⢠Secondly, I think he might be prone to jealousy, and unfortunately he can get pretty nasty about it. I think he'd act quite petty if he noticed you getting a bit too close to someone else, or worse, if you actually had a date.
⢠Don't get me wrong, he does just want you to be happy. But some selfish part in him wants to be the reason you're happy, rather than some other student who he likely sees as an overall inferior option for you compared to himself. His logic is that you deserve only the best in life - and it doesn't get much better than Vil Schoenheit, does it?
⢠All of that being said, when he decides to finally be forthcoming with you about his feelings, he will respect your choice. Especially because he's actually kind of worried too.
⢠He is a world-famous celebrity. And he's completely straightforward with you, about the media attention you would receive if your relationship was to go public, about the potential backlash, the stress, all of it.
⢠Even if the feelings are mutual, he wants you to be very sure of your decision beyond just that and for you to understand the risks involved. He might even tell you to take a bit more time to think it over.
IDIA SHROUD
⢠Oh god oh no, oh Seven oh fuck
⢠Predictably not even remotely chill about it at all.
⢠Idia actively hides from you. He just knows he can't speak to you because every time he does, he says or does something so embarrassing and cringeworthy that he's going to lay awake at night thinking about.
⢠I do think he kind of stalks you though. He doesn't creep on you in your room or anything, but he'll use the cameras he has set up all over Sage Island to just... keep an eye on you sometimes. Yes, he is aware that this is creepy, even Ortho says so, and he feels bad about it. But he just likes to look at you.
⢠He ends up treating you like some kind of un-attainable goal. He fantasises about being in a relationship with you in a similar way to how one would with fictional characters or celebrities; he's aware it will always remain as just a fantasy, something he can never have in the real world, and he's okay with that. He thinks he is, at least.
⢠He does talk about you to Ortho quite often. Ortho is the only person he can talk to about stuff like this. And of course, his little brother is supportive, telling him to just go for it, because he never knows what might happen!
⢠But he won't. He can't.
⢠He's a Shroud. His life already has a predetermined path. He'll work at S.T.Y.X, hidden away from the rest of the world, fulfilling his family's duty until he dies and passes the burden onto the future generation. If he were to enter a relationship with someone or potentially marry them, they would have to share that existence with him. It feels like too much to ask of anyone. So he just won't.
⢠I don't think he'd ever confess.
MALLEUS DRACONIA
⢠Malleus is afraid of losing you. He's afraid of losing a friend, and afraid of losing a lover, whether it be because he does something wrong or because your life will inevitably come to an end long before his will.
⢠He's another one who flirts quite brazenly, though behind the scenes I can see him having a crisis over this. He wants to tell you, he has to tell you, but there are a lot of things he needs to come to terms with first. Not the least of which is that he will have to watch you age and die.
⢠He considers for a moment, if it would be kinder on his heart to never let your relationship blossom into something more. But he can't imagine living the rest of his long life thinking of you as something that could've been.
⢠He thinks of Lilia, who took in a human son. He must have been aware of how short the lives of humans are, and how little time he would have to spend with Silver. But he did it anyway, fully aware of the suffering he will face once the time comes for Silver to pass. Why? He spends a long time agonising over the question.
⢠Why let love into your life when you know it will only last a short duration, and ultimately leave you heartbroken?
⢠Lilia and Silver also answer this question for him. Because the people you love leave an impact far beyond the amount of time they remain in your life for. They leave behind memories and lingering feelings of love and joy, and things you've learned from loving them.
⢠And when he remembers you far into the future, he'd prefer to feel that bittersweet happiness, rather than regret and longing over what he never had the guts to pursue.
⢠He confesses. And he swears to devote himself to making your fleeting life one full of happy memories.
yes i made her do kathak bc i finished my diploma exam for it and this is the only way i know how to express my pride in my accomplishment
also yes you assumed correctly!! shes gyaru (more specifically himegyaru but. idk how i would translate that bcos i wanted her to wear desi clothes. theyre more elaborate than this image but i wanted to eat mutton)
anyways. im on book four. i love scarabia a normal amount. i need 2 draw jamil in a hrithik roshan scene
TW! for angst, I'm basically ripping all your yumeships (and mine ajhbfwhbskjdb) to shreds and insulting Yuu so teehee
Something I find interesting is the romantic relationships between Yuu and the boys and the fact that theyâll never really work out, though some for more obvious reasons.
Riddle is not an option because, no matter how much you may love one another, his temper is too much for a healthy relationship right now. And even when he gets it under control, do you really think his mother wouldnât make his life a living hell if he defied her by dating (or, Seven forbid, marrying) you?
Cater will never truly open up. Period. Itâs a survival instinct and a self preservation method that hurts him and saves others, and (speaking from experience) he will take a VERY long time to get it to the point that it only sometimes affects your relationship.
Leona, no matter if he loves you or not, is incredibly mentally unhealthy. And his position as a Prince essentially bars you from actually being in a relationship. The second he realizes that? Heâs already resigned himself to the fact that you canât be together.
Ruggie's always gonna be focused on his family first. His main goal will always be survival. A partner doesn't pose anything but new costs. What little money he makes goes directly to his grandma, and he's working all the time. Even if you do end up in a relationship, you really can't expect much time or attention from him.
The Octotrio just isn't interested, period. Azul's goals are very clearly defined, Jade may only date for curiosity's sake, and Floyd is the least likely person to have a healthy, stable relationship. Not to mention the fact that all would ditch you at a moments notice. It's nothing personal, just survival.
Kalim's parents are interested in good-for-busniess marriages only. No offense, but I don't think a magicless, identity-lacking, broke civilian is much of a prospect. Kalim may love you, but it just wouldn't be allowed. Not to mention the fact that he's horrendously incapable of doing things on his own without making a huge mess. Do you want a husband, or a child? Because we all know which one he's more like.
Jamil would never dream of letting you take his name. You mention anything even close to marriage and he's walking out the door. He wants to say it's for your sake, because he'd never want you to suffer what he has, having to serve the Asims... but that's only half of it. If he can't use you as a means of escaping the shackles of servitude, then you're of no use to him, no matter how much affection he holds for you.
Vil is... similar. Stardom is no laughing matter. Putting you in the spotlight alongside him would be a grave mistake, for many reasons. You would have to deal with fans, paparazzi, tabloids, stalkers, unending stress, and the fact that your time (and his, more importantly) would always be taken up by other things. Not to mention the fact that... you really aren't fit for the position of fame. He loves you, but you're nowhere near his standards. He wouldn't dream of marring his image by allowing his partner to act and look the way you do.
Idia, ohhhh Idia.... this man would be such a draining partner to have. The amount of energy needing to continuously reassure him, make sure he's okay in social situations, keep him grounded, keep him healthy, get him to socialize, and overall just take care of him.... yeah, it's not for the faint of heart. This man is one (1) miscommunication away from giving everything up at any point in time. The walking on eggshells needed here just... isn't healthy. And living life on a remote, essentially non-existent island? Yeah, that's not healthy either.
Malleus seems like a good choice- he loves you, you love him, he's aware of and working through his issues, blah blah blah... if only you were a Fae. If only you were some kind of royalty, nobility, at least high class. But you're not. You're just some nameless person from another world, and definitely not good enough to be the royal consort of the soon-to-be king. Honestly, what ever made you think that would work out? Besides, you don't really want to leave your husband all alone with a broken heart in 70-ish years.
Alright bro. I've written one on riddle, check that out, if you are wondering how I did it so fast, I already had wrote riddle's. In fact I'm writing other characters right now. Riddle was done tomorrow lmao. Check it out! đ
Riddle rosehearts x FEM!yuu fanfic (inspired from canon analyst given by sushigeeg! Check out their post!)
Warnings: angst, a bit...stuff if yk biology, mistreatment, betrayal, fatherless kid (sadly), pure angst, future timeline, angst, did I mention angst?
It was a sad truth. Fem!yuu couldn't stay in twisted wonderland forever even after graduation. And knowing Crowley, he kept giving excuses he would find a way back for her... Sooner... Till then she must find a place to stay with grim...either in ramshackle dorm except she would be an adult thus she would have to work in NRC instead of remaining a student there forever... Though yuu knew living in ramshackle dorm was gonna exhaust her and grim even after repairs were paid by the vdc team in book 6. Without crowley finding a way for her...she decided to take a step ahead... Maybe asking her boyfriend riddle wouldn't hurt? At the beginning of their relationship (during book 6) riddle tried controlling his anger though he wouldn't always succeed, he did slightly become different and yuu helped him change his behavior...even if it was just slight. She loved him and supported him and helped him... Surely he would help her...right? Gathering her courage she went to him...
The rain was coming down hard, making everything look gray and miserable. Yuu stood on the perfectly cut grass of the Rosehearts estate in queendom of roses, shivering as she held onto her one small bag. For three years, sheâd been stuck in Twisted Wonderland, unable to get home after graduation too. She had given everything to Riddle, her time, her comfort, and her heart. When the school year ended and she had nowhere left to go, she had looked right at him and asked, "Since I'm your girlfriend, can I stay with you? You love me, right?"
He had smiled then. He told her yes. But that promise didn't mean anything the second his mother came home from her month-long vacation. The moment miss Rosehearts found out her son was letting a magicless stranger live in her house, she absolutely lost it. She didn't care that Riddle was an adult. She didn't care about Yuu at all. "Get out of my house," the woman snapped, her voice cutting through the room. "I won't have a useless parasite living under my roof." Yuu didn't even look at the mother. She kept her eyes glued to Riddle, her fingers reaching out to grab his sleeve. She was begging him with her eyes to say something, anything.
She was the one who held him when he overblotted, the one who stayed by his side when everyone else was afraid of him.But Riddle wouldn't look at her. He stood there, completely stiff, staring at the floorboards with his fists clenched tightly at his sides. "Mother is right," Riddle muttered, his voice sounding totally blank and empty. "Rule two hundred and forty-nine... uninvited guests aren't allowed to stay. You need to leave, Yuu."
Yuu felt something inside her just snap and go cold. She didn't cry, and she didn't scream. The sadness was just too heavy for that. She dropped her hand, turned around, and walked right out into the rain. By some twisted miracle, the second she dragged herself back to Night Raven College, Crowley called her on her phone. "Yuu! The dark mirror finally found a pathway back to your world! You can go home!"
She didn't hesitate. She didn't even leave a note for Ace or Deuce. She stepped right through the glass and left Twisted Wonderland behind.
Ten Years Later....The big twist was that the mirror in her own bedroom turned out to be magical, too. It acted like a permanent door. She could actually go back and forth between worlds whenever she wanted.But two weeks after getting home, she started throwing up every morning. Yuu sat on her bathroom floor, looking at the positive pregnancy test, laughing bitterly. She was pregnant. It had happened right before Riddle's mother came back. A final parting gift from a guy who couldn't even stand up to his mom for her. Yuu swore right then that she would raise this baby alone and never look back.
Ten years flew by. Yuu built a completely new life in her world. Her daughter, Rosaline, was nine now, a bright, happy kid who unfortunately inherited Riddleâs exact bright red hair and sharp gray eyes. Yuu rarely used the mirror, only going back to visit the few people who actually cared about her. Ace and Deuce had grown up into great guys, and Grim was still hanging around. They were the best uncles Rosaline could ask for. For Rosaline's ninth birthday, Ace and Deuce suggested having a small party at Deuceâs mom's house so they could celebrate away from all the stressful magic school stuff. Deuce's mom, Dylla, was incredibly sweet and welcomed them with open arms.
"Mommy, look at me!" Rosaline giggled, spinning around in the living room.Yuu smiled, adjusting her clothes. She had dressed up for the party in a traditional red saree from her world. It was a soft, simple fabric, but the bright red perfectly matched Rosalineâs hair. It felt nice to take that specific color, the color that used to remind her of Riddle, and turn it into something that just represented her love for her daughter.
"You look perfect, sweetie," Yuu said. "Can we go walk outside?" Rosaline begged, tugging her arm. "Just the two of us? Without Uncle Ace and Uncle Deuce being loud?" Yuu could hear Ace and Deuce in the kitchen loudly arguing over how to cut the birthday cake. She laughed. "Alright, fine. But wait on the porch for a second. I think I heard something by the front gate, let me check it first." Rosaline nodded, her red pigtails bouncing as she skipped outside.
Riddle Rosehearts walked down the quiet neighborhood street, his coat perfectly pressed. He was a successful doctor now, exactly like his mother wanted. He had followed every single rule, checked every box, and fulfilled every expectation. And he was completely miserable. He felt like a robot just going through the motions. Then, he stopped dead in his tracks. Sitting on a porch step just a few yards away was a little girl. She was humming a random tune, but that wasn't what caught his attention.It was her hair. It was a bright, unmistakable scarlet red.The girl looked up, and Riddle felt his stomach drop. Her eyes were a sharp, piercing gray. It was like looking at a happy, unbothered version of himself from when he was a kid. "Hi," Riddle said, his voice shaking a little. He walked closer, completely off-balance. "Are you waiting for someone?" "My mommy," Rosaline said with a big smile, tilting her head. "She's checking the gate. Who are you? Your hair looks just like mine!" Riddle couldn't breathe. The timeline crashed together in his head. Ten years had passed by...Sheâs... nine years old?
"What's your name?" Riddle whispered. He didn't even care that his expensive pants were getting dirty as he dropped to his knees on the path, desperately wanting to reach out to her. "Rosaline," she said. Right then, the front door clicked open. "Rosaline, I told you to stay, "Yuu froze on the top step.Riddle looked up, and his heart stopped. There she was. She looked older, more confident, wearing a beautiful red saree that made her look stunning. But when she looked down at him, her eyes were completely dead. There was no anger, no love, just nothing."Mommy!" Rosaline stood up, feeling how weird and tense the air had suddenly gotten. Yuu didn't even glance at Riddle. She kept her eyes entirely on her daughter. "Rosaline," she said, her voice completely cold and level. "Get away from that man and come here right now." Rosaline looked confused but immediately ran up the steps, grabbing Yuu's hand.
"Yuu..." Riddle's voice cracked. He scrambled to his feet, his hands shaking. "Yuu, please. Is she... is she mine?" Yuu finally looked him in the face, her expression totally blank. "She's my daughter. She doesn't belong to anyone else."
"Yuu, look at her! Look at me!" Riddle completely lost his cool. All his perfect doctor manners disappeared, leaving him looking frantic and desperate. "I know what I did! I know I was a coward! My mother... I couldn't stop her, but please! Let me be a father to her. Let me fix this. I can give her whatever she wants, I can take care of both of youâ"
"You let your mother throw me out into the rain, Riddle," Yuu interrupted, her quiet voice instantly cutting him off. She picked Rosaline up, holding her tightly against her hip, using the red fabric of her saree to block the kid's view of him. "You chose your mom's rules over me. You don't get to come back ten years later and ask for the family you threw away."
"Yuu! Wait! Just talk to me!" Riddle cried out, reaching his hand out as she turned around. "Don't leave me again! Yuu!"
Yuu didn't look back. She walked ahead in hurry...and she was gone. Riddle slowly let his hands drop. He turned around, looking at the empty street. He had his career. He had his mother's approval. He had followed all the rules. But as he sank to his knees on the pavement, Riddle finally realized that none of it mattered, because he had completely ruined his own life.
(y'all be wondering where grim was when yuu stayed with riddle before his mother came, well grim was in nrc with Crowley, he stayed there to help yuu find way back because he cares for his henchwoman don't worry y'all. After ten years he does spend time with Rosaline in platonic affection and his own grim way lol).
TW! for angst, I'm basically ripping all your yumeships (and mine ajhbfwhbskjdb) to shreds and insulting Yuu so teehee
Something I find interesting is the romantic relationships between Yuu and the boys and the fact that theyâll never really work out, though some for more obvious reasons.
Riddle is not an option because, no matter how much you may love one another, his temper is too much for a healthy relationship right now. And even when he gets it under control, do you really think his mother wouldnât make his life a living hell if he defied her by dating (or, Seven forbid, marrying) you?
Cater will never truly open up. Period. Itâs a survival instinct and a self preservation method that hurts him and saves others, and (speaking from experience) he will take a VERY long time to get it to the point that it only sometimes affects your relationship.
Leona, no matter if he loves you or not, is incredibly mentally unhealthy. And his position as a Prince essentially bars you from actually being in a relationship. The second he realizes that? Heâs already resigned himself to the fact that you canât be together.
Ruggie's always gonna be focused on his family first. His main goal will always be survival. A partner doesn't pose anything but new costs. What little money he makes goes directly to his grandma, and he's working all the time. Even if you do end up in a relationship, you really can't expect much time or attention from him.
The Octotrio just isn't interested, period. Azul's goals are very clearly defined, Jade may only date for curiosity's sake, and Floyd is the least likely person to have a healthy, stable relationship. Not to mention the fact that all would ditch you at a moments notice. It's nothing personal, just survival.
Kalim's parents are interested in good-for-busniess marriages only. No offense, but I don't think a magicless, identity-lacking, broke civilian is much of a prospect. Kalim may love you, but it just wouldn't be allowed. Not to mention the fact that he's horrendously incapable of doing things on his own without making a huge mess. Do you want a husband, or a child? Because we all know which one he's more like.
Jamil would never dream of letting you take his name. You mention anything even close to marriage and he's walking out the door. He wants to say it's for your sake, because he'd never want you to suffer what he has, having to serve the Asims... but that's only half of it. If he can't use you as a means of escaping the shackles of servitude, then you're of no use to him, no matter how much affection he holds for you.
Vil is... similar. Stardom is no laughing matter. Putting you in the spotlight alongside him would be a grave mistake, for many reasons. You would have to deal with fans, paparazzi, tabloids, stalkers, unending stress, and the fact that your time (and his, more importantly) would always be taken up by other things. Not to mention the fact that... you really aren't fit for the position of fame. He loves you, but you're nowhere near his standards. He wouldn't dream of marring his image by allowing his partner to act and look the way you do.
Idia, ohhhh Idia.... this man would be such a draining partner to have. The amount of energy needing to continuously reassure him, make sure he's okay in social situations, keep him grounded, keep him healthy, get him to socialize, and overall just take care of him.... yeah, it's not for the faint of heart. This man is one (1) miscommunication away from giving everything up at any point in time. The walking on eggshells needed here just... isn't healthy. And living life on a remote, essentially non-existent island? Yeah, that's not healthy either.
Malleus seems like a good choice- he loves you, you love him, he's aware of and working through his issues, blah blah blah... if only you were a Fae. If only you were some kind of royalty, nobility, at least high class. But you're not. You're just some nameless person from another world, and definitely not good enough to be the royal consort of the soon-to-be king. Honestly, what ever made you think that would work out? Besides, you don't really want to leave your husband all alone with a broken heart in 70-ish years.

Hi friends! I may not focus on tumblr for some while because I've been lacking motivation, happiness and liveliness I wish I had. (Ps, blame daddy issues. Ikykik) I can't seem to be motivated after issues happening at home. It's making me demotivated. However if you guys ask for requests. I would accept it. Relating to arcana twilight or twisted wonderland I'd be happy to oblige whenever I wish I would want to write. That being said...I hope you all understand my issues but I would try to post as whenever I wish I can. Thank you for all your support... â¤ď¸
