*ੈ✩‧₊˚ work, work, work...

summary: simple comforts after a long day type of post: headcanons characters: rollo, fellow, skully, swing information: romantic, reader is yuu (except in skully's), reader is gender neutral, fluff and affection, some ramshackle au, past skully, somewhat of a sally!reader for him too, reader is an adult in fellow and swing's parts, writer hates her job hhelppp

The Ramshackle boys aren't the type of guys to spoil you, but...

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Rollo Flamme

No one values diligence like Rollo Flamme.

When he moved into Ramshackle, the first thing he said (after the initial horror had passed) was how impressive it was for one student to piece together a decaying dorm with only a meager allowance and one pair of hands (and paws, he added at Grim's insistence).

But the dorm was one thing.

...There was also the cooking, the cleaning, the care-taking of a certain difficult direbeast, the socializing, the running of errands for the Headmage, and the endless piles of work...

And as soon as summer began, so did your part-time "internship" in the stifling greenhouse that the school office became once abandoned for the holiday.

From dawn until dusk, you toiled in that hot, empty, cramped room, sorting paperwork and taking nonstop calls from Crowley whenever he felt like complaining about the resort he was vacationing at (Rollo must suppress the urge to roll his eyes).

Rollo was only going to stick around for the first week after the semester had concluded, to sort your schedule, but...

...Well, it wasn't only your planner that needed help.

Rollo rolled up his sleeves (nearly blinding you with his pale paper-white forearms) and got to work.

The cooking? He could handle it. The cleaning? Already done. Watching Grim? Manageable with a good pair of earplugs. And so on...

The only time he doesn't seem disgusted by touch is when you come home so pitifully sore and aching that he's morally obligated (by his own conscience) to offer a massage.

Rollo knows he can't convince you (or Crowley) to give yourself some time off, but he can do everything in his power to make sure your evenings are free of stress.

And after dinner is sorted, the dishes are clean and set out to dry, and Grim is busy with a pint of tuna-flavored ice cream, Rollo has you all to himself to enjoy the night air and the silence of campus during summer.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Fellow Honest

You thought it might've been good to have a little financial independence, and that's where all the trouble started.

Crowley? Cheap. Finicky. Unreliable. Getting him to cough up another penny for your care was like pulling teeth, with chances of success hinging solely on whatever dramatic mood he found himself in at that particular moment.

But a job? With a reliable schedule, a livable wage, and a weekly pay, punishable by law if withheld or denied?

...Fellow helped you forge the right documents, and suddenly you had a nine to five at the ice cream parlor by the bus stop.

And it was great!

Sort of.

On one hand, you could afford to fix the busted refrigerator and buy Grim a new bow (and a pair of little booties, which he hates, by the way).

On the other hand..?

...Day in and day out, the dredges of society, wailing, whining, screaming, insulting, confused, lost, frustrated, rushing you to scoop faster, more gummy bears, less whipped cream, what are you, stupid? I said one half sprinkles, one half syrup, how hard is that! How was I supposed to know there's dairy in ice cream, do I look like some kind of mind-reader?! I shouldn't have to pay for this, you took too long! What's wrong with your hair? I bet you're one of those people, huh? How do I work this damn app, it's always slow, why don't you fix that?! Do you accept coupons? And so on.

After a long day of trying to teach the elderly how to use their phones and coaxing adults out of temper tantrums (which you do not get paid extra for), you drag yourself back to Ramshackle a withered husk of a human being.

...And Fellow, who's entire life has been defined by kissing ass with the most self-important pieces of crap on the planet, ten times worse than the ice cream parlor and then some, is waiting by the door with a blanket and a mug of... something (it's beer. You dump it in the sink when he's not looking).

The rest of the night is spent on the couch, grumbling nonsense about the day's troubles into his chest with da big game on the TV and his thumb tracing circles on your back.

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Skully J. Graves

Sometimes, passion outweighs sense.

...Such is the reasoning behind letting a young, excitable Skully J. Graves be president of his very own Halloween Society, a group of four (five, sometimes, when the neighbor kid drops by for hot apple cider and a slice of pumpkin pie, Skully's recipe) pioneers in the field of autumn festivities.

And sometimes, passion demands sense.

...Such is the reasoning behind having you as vice president.

If not for your tireless efforts to keep Skully's more eccentric ideas on track (and grounded in reality), he would have Halloweened the whole society right into a tight jail cell.

His ideas for crafting the perfect Halloween, and sharing it with the world, are either genius or completely ridiculous, and there's no in between.

It's you who has to remind him that he needs a license to set off fireworks on Sage's Island, you who sends baskets of food and drink up to his room when he becomes so involved in his studies he forgets to eat, you who sews his costumes and mends the tablecloths and alters his trousers with each new inch he grows...

It might have been taken as an undying devotion to Halloween, a selfless human sacrifice to the holiday, but, well...

...It's not a thankless job. That's all.

Skully never skimps on the compliments, rambling on about how brilliant and visionary you are with each new design idea, grasping your hands and gushing about how you are simply the only person he would ever trust with such delicate work, the only talent he'll ever want.

Every prick of the needle is soothed by satin-gloved hands, fingers intertwining with yours as he tells you tales from his home, that far-off, foggy place...

*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Swing

Everyone knows to steer clear of you when you make a beeline for the basement.

Straight to the steps, with the door shut tight behind you? That distinct THWCK of the lock, so loud that it sounds more like an axe coming down on someone's head?

It's an easy way to let the dorm know you've had a bad day.

A really bad one.

Quarantining in the basement with your favorite boogeyman is (somehow) the only thing that makes you feel quite right after being treated like a glorified errand boy by the general public.

Maybe because Swing laughs at your stories, maybe because he doesn't mind your mood, maybe because he tells you all the things that he would've done, if he were there, following you around like an overgrown puppy- down to each gory detail.

It would be off-putting for anyone else, but you...

...Well, you deal with a lot.

A demanding boss, ignorant coworkers, an ungrateful clientele... so what if the mental image of Swing punting them into orbit makes you laugh? You've earned as much.

He seems to think very highly of himself for getting a reaction out of you, and when his jokes stop working, he'll poke and prod at you until winning himself another smile.

It's hard to stay mad when you're being treated like an animal at a petting zoo.

And it's easy to bait him into cuddles, as long as you loudly announce that you're just SO tired and sick of humans, you couldn't IMAGINE spending another MOMENT with one...

...To which Swing will gladly remind you that he's not a human, and drag you into his lap.

mhc2026 tourney round one

NOTE: This isn't a "vote for whoever you like less" contest it's about vibes. if the vibes are evil and rancid and you think that means they're hetero then that's fine tho lol I kinda like that

NOTE: remember that this isn't a "would date a woman" contest. If you think a character is bisexual, asexual, or like a lesbian, then they are not heterosexual. Like, by definition.

NOTE: "Neither" is not an option. If you see both characters as not-straight, then you must vote for the one who is comparatively more straight than the other.

Pick the more heterosexual character

This post is a huge PSA for anyone writing X Reader content

You may not think this post applies to you, but it does.

There is a massive issue with inclusivity and assuming the audience. I have seen and personally experienced, time and time again, that me and many others feel as if we have no place in fandom. This specific part of it has to do with the majority of "x reader" content out there. It is all written for a cisgender (mostly heterosexual) white woman audience.

Now, cis white women getting content made for them is OBVIOUSLY not the issue here. People write for their personal interests, and there is nothing wrong with that. We all know this, and we all enjoy a fun story with our favorite characters centering around us.

The main issue here is the mentioned women not tagging their content properly, refusing to tag their content properly, straight up lying in the tags or not tagging things at all.

Trans men, nonbinary people, trans women, gay men, disabled people, fat people, intersex people and many people of color or non-american readers are constantly left out of fandom space and forgotten entirely. I've seen hundreds of complaints about it, and it needs to be spoken about more. While I'm on specifically talking about the fanfiction part of it, it is a VISIBLE issue in every fandom space you could possibly partake in. I don't even need to explain to you the rampant racism and transphobia in the cosplay community.

And the fix is extremely easy! TAG YOUR THINGS PROPERLY. It is the easiest, simplest form of allyship one could do for the community, and it goes miles. However, a lot of you seem to not understand how to, even if your heart is in the right place.

How to tag your fanfiction for the general audience:

- Specify the gender of the reader. This goes MUCH farther than just what pronouns are used. I've read WAY too many fanfics that tell me it is gender neutral, only to be hit with nicknames like "princess", or to be told the intended reader loves dresses and wears a bra.

- In tags or a prior description, mention every nickname used for the reader and every possibly gendered descriptor. It's really not difficult, and doesn't take too long.

- If necessary, mention what style of clothes the reader is specified to wear. And if this applies as well, specify any highlighted personality traits you gave the reader.

- Specify the body of the reader. This also goes much farther than gender. "Afab" and "amab" don't exactly cut it. Many people are triggered by certain words connected to genitals, so specify what words are used for those as well! Also, if you are trying to write a gender neutral body, PLEASE specify whether it is entirely gender neutral or something is implied. Many say it is gender neutral, and then explain how the reader's body self lubricates, or even has a clitoris. Please do better than that.

- For the love of God, do not automatically feminize the "GN afab" reader you wrote without a warning, and PLEASE MENTION if breasts are even spoken of, let alone used for smut reasons. And do NOT refer to someone's body as having "fem" or "male" genitalia. just say vagina or penis, please.

- Specify what body type you had in mind. Many fat or even slightly chubby individuals need to look for fanfiction that specifically caters to them, because "neutral body reader" writers, tend to not make it neutral. If you have any specifics on whatever you have written for the body mentioned, do tag it!

- Specify what sort of skin tone or hair texture is mentioned, if at all. Many POC complain that they read neutral fiction just to find straight hair, pale skin, light eyes, and blushing faces to be mentioned. If any color of the body is mentioned at all, or anything is implied, do say so! This also can go for specific things you may not think about, like how long it takes hair to dry, how easy it is to brush, hairstyles and other things of the sort.

It may seem like a bit of a list, but this is really the LEAST you can do for your community. We are consistently forgotten and ignored anywhere we go, and the simple things like this truly mean a lot.

- If there is an implied location, or anything to imply a place of origin, it's best to be on the safe side and mention that if it feels important.

- Please tag if you put the reader through, or mention a past traumatic event. Casually putting the reader character through things like an abusive ex, abusive parents, bad home or work life, or something like a car accident can be highly triggering. tag your scenes thoroughly! This also applies to putting the reader insert through something like sexist comments, unwanted touching of any kind, and similarly negative situations.

I cannot tell you the amount of times I've turned to fanfiction as an outlet and an escape, as many others have, just to be jumpscared by my favorite characters misgendering me. It's truly a miserable experience knowing no place is actually welcoming to me, or in the very least accommodating for people who aren't like them. This post is NOT meant to shame or send harassment to those who are forgetful, but ignorance is never a good thing to uphold. No one is asking you to write for an audience you don't want to, we just want to KNOW who you are writing for. Assuming an entire space is all one demographic is never, ever a good thing.

If you need help writing for a demographic you don't fully understand, just ask people who are a part of it how they would! Look at how other writers write and tag their content, and listen to anyone if they have necessary critiques. I wish you all happy writing! :]

Reblogs are highly appreciated, as this message needs to be spread as far as possible!

[alice-everafter]

first year going to the sevens-eleven (i couldn't think of another twst/magic related pun) would be absolutely beautiful (no pressure of course)

that idea reminds me of a scenario i thought of (but haven't written/drawn) where yuu invites their frosh buddies to the corner store, but they also invited malleus (who may or may not be wearing a cartoonish disguise) and forgot to tell the froshies that ol hornson is coming with them lollll

anon i fear that’s genius, to both ideas.

imagine yuu is going out with friends, mentions it to malleus the night prior, notices that he seems so wistfully sad about not being able to join them, then decides to invite him. cue malleus going “no no i’ll just scare them away” only for yuu to rebuttal “but consider, the humble top hat”

then they drag malleus with while he’s dressed up like an evil banker, huge top hat to cover his horns and cane included, just to go pick up 2 dollar slushies from 7-11.

(just noticed right after i wrote all that THE PUN YOU MADE. “SEVEN’S ELEVEN.” if i could throw flowers at you in person, i would be doing so right now, bravo.)

as for the first year fic, i kinda have something in the works rn. just a lil smth after i saw the sleepover groovy card art. might post that in a bit after another installment of the soulmate au and tbwyhm.

[capri-ramblings]

Thats fine, but if not Salvadorian could you do a yuu who has like a Monster Energy addiction.

Mind you, up until this ask, I have never drank this drink at all 🫪 so, I sorta had to go get one to know how it tastes lmao, sorry if there's any inaccuracies 😔 I also did the ones who I think would have the most reaction to this lmao.

It's funny to think twisted wonderland would have this drink (Sam: IN STOCK) but let's just say in this AU they have a similar drink and Yuu has tried it and told them this is EXACTLY what their beloved monster drink is like.

Azul - He's horrified. He's staring at Yuu as if the other had grown a second head and perhaps that discovery would be better than discovering the Ramshackle Prefect's obsession with a drink that quite literally had Azul dry heaving the first (and last) time he tried the drink. He stayed up a few nights recalculating the amount of sugar and taurine that he had allowed into his system and then spent the rest of the month trying to wean Yuu off of it.

Vil - Confiscated. Banned. Reprimanded. WHY would they even think he would let them get away with this after making it known to him? Vil is bemused and he is also viscerally worried because just one sip alone from a can of that drink is diabolical but multiple cans of it in a day? Oh no. No. No. It will be gone and he doesn't care if Yuu gets withdrawals (He does,he will have ample of things to help with that.)

Jamil - He is disappointed but not really surprised. Honestly,he has seen and knows the worst addictions anyway so an energy drink addict is a fairly tame variation. He will try to cut the amount as best as he can though. Jamil isn't going to risk being blamed if the otherworlder gets sick on his watch.

Riddle - Reprimanded. Confiscated. Banned. And then reprimanded once again. He's probably the most vocal about his disapproval of Yuu's addiction. He didn't even try the drink but instead took a single whiff of it and went, "You're mad. This is highly unhealthy to be dependent on." He's probably harsh about it if Yuu tries to fight against this decision but feels bad about it afterwards...

Idia - Oh. OH. new drink hyper-fixation added and set as favorite. Yuu has earned a drinking buddy. Ortho is pretty worried about you two but he's also happy his big brother has a friend now. Idia would 100% make this addiction worse by making every possible flavour of this drink attainable.

[egophiliac]

I totally respect that you mostly ship f/f, so I'll phrase this question as not the best or the most likely, but "what do YOU, Ego, think, if Yana Toboso had a big red button to make exactly one ship canon, would be the funniest and would make the fandom the most in a tizzy" I choose Leona and Neige

bear with me here, because this actually ties into something else I've been thinking about: between the Knight, Leia, and Henrik, Silver is basically the last remaining heir to all the land the Silver Owls stole, yes? but what with all the global territory disputes and treaties and general drama, it'd probably just be a huge mess that would get tied up in red tape for centuries if he, you know, tried to just give it back. however, for times like this, there is the traditional solution...

what I'm saying is, 99% of Briar Valley's political issues could be instantly solved if Silver marries Maleficia.

[egophiliac]

I think I was also lost in the inbox hiccup. I was wondering, since you’ve mentioned multiple times that the character blurbs we are given of the TWST characters at the beginning of game are terrible, what you would change them to be? I do agree, but I also think it’s quite tricky to describe the sheer delight that are these characters in only a few sentences without spoilers.

okay I admit I've been pretty unfair about those, because it IS difficult to encapsulate...(gestures to the huge emotional mess that is NRC) in just a couple of sentences each. and in particular because some of them ARE meant to be surprising; like, for example, Epel being such an angry little scrungle despite looking Like That. so I will eat crow here! (sorry headmaster) (though to be fair I will say that my issue is less the descriptions themselves being terrible, and more that they make all the characters sound like terrible people...which, to be even fairer, they kinda are. just, uh, more entertainingly so.) but yeah, I must fully admit to my hubris, because the only way I can think of to be more accurate is just to add the same exact label to everyone:

[cursedcola]

Ok ok so you know the thing where it's like 'hey trust exercise' where person A runs up to person B and jumps in their arms? The one that became a meme with the hot coffee....

that. just that. Could you please write something for it using characters from twisted wonderland? Thank you!

A/N: I do know the thing lol. I think this is a super cute idea and will have some fun with it hehe...Sorry if it's not too long. I am writing this in between classes just to have a little mental break :) I also think this will work better with baby headcannons so I can do more characters. Since you did not specify any characters, I will be self indulgent. Prompt: Trust exercise! Do they catch you? Format: Baby headcannons huhuhu Characters: Everyone. Literally Everyone. I feel inspired for some reason. Warnings: None :) Tooth-ache fluff. Also not proofread. Likely grammar/spelling errors

Heartslabyul Dorm

Riddle Rosehearts

Catches you by a millisecond.

The moment he sees you running he instinctively drops the books in his hands

Yells for you to stop and puts his hands out in defense

Instinctively opens them when you jump and boom. Catch

My man has noodle arms. They instantly start to shake and you get dropped on your bum

Half-angry that you put him on the spot, and half-humiliated for dropping you. He is left shell-shocked for a moment before the fuse is lit

"What on EARTH were you thinking? Must you behave so childishly all the time?! Sometimes I wonder if you WANT me to have a heart attack....*sigh* come on. Get up. Are you injured at all?"

He thinks it's silly for you to test his 'trust,' like that. Don't do it again. Next time just talk to him.

….secretly relieved that he caught you.

Trey Clover

Arms are open before you even jump

The moment you started to speed up, he knew what would come next. It flusters him, and his ears burn but he lets you have your fun

Wraps one arm around your back and the other holds one of your legs around his waist. Nice and secure :)

Laughs a little bit before setting you down carefully

"Well, that was an excitable greeting. Maybe warn me next time, okay? What if I was holding something?"

Shakes his head in disbelief that you'd test him like this. Oh well. Its over now Best for him not to think on it.

Learns that Cater showed you the prank on Magicam, and makes his tea extra sweet. Revenge > cavities.

Cater Diamond

Does not catch you. In fact, he side-steps you.

You're quite literally sprawled on the floor and he's just standing there all smug. What? Don't even look at him like that. There's no way he could have caught you without toppling over

Cater prefers to not have a face full of dirt, thank you very much

He knows what you were trying to do, and also purposefully chose to 'fail'

"Hmm~ Now why would you use such a silly method to test me? Don't we take enough exams in class (Y/N)? You're no fair..."

Despite the taunts, he holds out a hand to help you up. He'll clean your face a bit with a handkerchief and leave a cheeky peck on your cheek before going about the rest of his day

Ace Trappola

Tries to catch you. Does not succeed.

In his defense, Ace is never on full alert. Especially during the school day.

You started running at him and he full on panicked. A genuine scream to stop tore through his throat, and he held his arms out

You, in fact, did not stop. Therefore you both fell on the ground with him on the bottom

Ace is not happy

"What is wrong with you?! If my back's broke then the medical bill is on your shoulders, not mine!"

When you explain to him, he still is pissed but does feel bad for yelling at you

"...well, whatever. You don't need some stupid test to know I'm trustworthy anyways. I prove it every day, right?"

....right? Please say yes or else he will overthink this hardcore later.

Deuce Spade

Catches you on instinct.

The moment you start running he assumes something is wrong, and opens his arms to give you a hug. When you jump? Well, that's just an extra step

His feet slide back against the ground and he wobbles for a millisecond. However, he's steady. He wraps both arms around your waist firmly, and leans back to get a look at your face.

"What's wrong?! Why are you in such a hurry?!"

His eyes flicker anxiously between the direction you came from and your face

He's relieved when you tell him that everything is okay, and that you just wanted to see if he would catch you

"Don't scare me like that! I was seriously worried!"

He's still holding you, and becomes bashful once the adrenaline dials down. He mutters a quick apology while gently setting you down. Avoiding eye-contact, he excuses himself and promises to hang out later. For now, be still his beating heart

Savanaclaw Dorm

Leona Kingscholar

Yes. You don't give him enough time to think through the situation, and so he acts. Albeit a bit roughly.

The moment you jump he's reaching with one arm, startled. It wraps around your waist and hoists you over his shoulder. The other hand reaches for his wand, and he's on high alert.

Says nothing. Just grunts upon impact and scans the area.

You'll have to pat his back a few times to be let down, and it is needless to say that he is not pleased with your joke

His eyebrows draw downward with his classic scowl, and he's lowkey disappointed in you. He thought you more straight-headed than to do something like this

"You- ugh. Whatever. I caught you, so I win, right? Happy?"

Deems scolding you more trouble than it's worth. Last thing he needs is for you to get mad at him. That'll just give him an even bigger headache.

Ruggie Bucchi

Does...not. He knows that you're coming. He heard the footsteps a mile away. He simply is a snot-nosed little arse

You're running at him from behind, and the moment you get near he steps to the side. He does his little shishishishi laugh when you face plant on the floor.

When you don't get up, he crouches down and pokes your head.

"Hey, you alright? That was a pretty harsh fall. I can't imagine what caused it,"

Laughs again, but feels a bit bad if you don't reciprocate. Okay. You got him. He's sooooooo untrustworthy. An utter fool, if you will.

With a tsk, he grabs you by the elbow and eases you up.

"Yup, yup. I'm cruel, I know. Let's go get a snack, alright? It's on me - and by me, I mean that it's on Leona shishishisi"

Jack Howl

This boulder doesn't even flinch. Like clockwork, he's startled but instinctively readies his stance. You quickly land safely in his arms, and are back on the ground in a jiffy. Almost as if you never tried to tackle him in the first place.

He holds you at arms length with an eyebrow raised.

"Uhm....are you good? What was that about?"

He doesn't understand how catching you proves that he is trustworthy, but if it makes you happy then he'll do it as often as you'd like. Just give him a heads up next time, ok?

Won't admit it, but he liked holding you. Even if it was for a fleeting moment, it felt right. If you ever asked for a piggy-back ride or to be carried, he wouldn't be opposed at all. The realization embarrasses him greatly.

Octovinelle Dorm

Azul Ashengrotto

Does not, and is extremely ashamed. He does not fail tests, academic or otherwise!

He’s not weak. This man has a very healthy diet and regularly exercises. He is confident that he would have succeeded with no issue, had you not startled him. Our little cephalopod here gets flustered very easily. Only by you though.

Normally he can hide it but you 100% startled him. Can you even judge? One moment all was peaceful and the next thing he knows you’re barreling towards him. All giddy and like “catch me, catch me!” …ugh. His heart couldn’t take it.

What’s worse is that Jade caught you in his stead. He’s appreciative that you were not harmed by his lack of reflex….but the humiliation. Dear gods.

He demands that you do it again. Leave him and then try again another time when he isn’t expecting it…which is impossible since he will be on high alert 24/7. Azul fails to understand that the purpose of the test is now null, and that it tests for impulse

“A-again! Go on. Get a running start and do it again! Into my awaiting arms!…do not argue. I will not fail this time so give me another chance,”

His ego requires it, so just do it. He can’t stand the idea of failing and that image of Jade carrying you is lingering in his mind

Floyd Leech

Catches you easily. Nothing startles this guy. Well, okay, some things do. Nothing that’s physical though.

He hears you yelling for him? Well that’s just a normal day in his life. You’re running his way”? Awwwwwwweeee his little Shrimpy is so excited to see him! That’s so rare!

He’s running to meet you half way. It nearly makes you halt but the test needs answers!

He hooks his hands under your arms mid-air, and spins you around at arms length before bringing you in for a hug. All the while he has a giant grin on his face

“Did you miss me that much??? I guess I haven’t been giving you enough attention…not that I’d mind it if you do this every day hehe~”

He doesn’t care about the test, so long as you do it again. You won’t be leaving his arms any time soon si get comfortable

Jade Leech

Another to catch you easily. He does it flawlessly, like catching a balloon or a feather

He hears your approach and chooses to ignore it until the last moment. Then he turns effortlessly to capture you bridal style, set you down, and return to what he was originally doing. If anyone’s in shock, it’s you.

Then he’ll finish up and turn to you as if nothing even happened. While his gentle smile and hand on his heart are unknowing - the smug crinkle of his eyes says otherwise. He is highly amused, not in your little stunt but in the reaction he managed to create

Caresses your face with one of his gloved hands and asks how your day has gone. Once answered, he leans down to plant a light kiss on your cheek before leaving

“Oh, I almost forgot. Please be more careful in the future. Had it not been you, I would have reacted much differently to someone ‘attacking’ fufu. I love your enthusiasm dearly, and am always happy to hold you. You need only ask,”

Scarabia Dorm

Kalim Al' Asim

Sunshine meets you half way. He sees you running at him with a mega grin and instantly knows what’s going on. Social cues be damned, he wants to be loved

More like it’s you catching him. He just can’t help himself. He jumps at you before you even get a chance to do the same.

His arms go around your shoulders in the biggest hug imaginable. He knows better than to throw his whole body weight on you, so he settles for merely hugging and swaying your body from side to side

It’s sickeningly sweet how giddy he is. He pulls you at arms length before peppering light kisses along your cheeks

“I missed you so much! Can I have another one? Please?”

Oh! A test? How fun! He’ll take this one many times if it means you’ll hug him more often. He passed? Yippieeeeeee

Jamil Viper

Catches you, begrudgingly. He’s known about the trend and was frankly expecting you to try it. He just didn’t know when.

Jamil is no fool. He could let you fall. It would be funny. Maybe even make his day.

But then you’d be upset with him. He really could do without that. Not if it could be prevented

So the moment he sees you rushing towards him, Jamil knows what to do. He quickly sets down whatever he’s doing and takes position

With an oof and a momentary scowl from discomfort, he’s got ya. One arm around you’re bum and the other your waist. You wrap both of your arms around his shoulders, and with a sigh he just lets you koala hang for a moment

“Are we done now? Not to be rude, but my arms are tired and I would prefer that we not make a spectacle of ourselves”

He asks if you had fun. You did? Well, he supposes that it can be done again. In private only though. No more pranks.

Pomefiore Dorm

Vil Schoenheit

Does not catch you on purpose, and then insists that you do it again.

You see, he did not want to encourage your childish antics, so he purposefully pretended that he was not strong enough to catch you

A lie, obviously. He is very strong despite his pretty boy exterior. Instead of calling him out for it, you play along. A mocking sigh of resignation flies out as you not so subtly comment on his lack of strength.

Oh, you're absolutely right, Vil! I'm sorry for over estimating you...hmm, perhaps I can try again with Neige-

"You will do no such thing. Now, I am going to walk away and once I turn the corner you are going to run at me. Is that clear?"

Epel Felmeir

Catches you! Listen. My boy here spent his entire childhood lugging around crates of apples, cutting down trees, and running through fields. There is no way that he lacks the stamina to catch you. Maybe he can't hold you for an extended period, but those cinnamon stick arms are built for catching

He jolts when you scream his name, and he loses his composure. The moment you jump he lets out a string of curses and drops everything to catch you

The impact sends Epel teetering, and he fall son his butt with you on top of him

"O-o-oi! What'd ya think you're doing?! I nearly split my tailbone!"

Is slightly saddened that he couldn't keep steady. If only he was stronger like the Savanaclaw students...

Rook Hunt

Catches you with grace. There isn't much to say here.

Our princely hunter need not predict your movements, or pay attention to your plotting. Where's the fun in that?

Non non, what a sight for sore eyes. Rook swoons the moment you call his name, and his pupils basically turn to hearts when he sees you running towards him

With a laugh, he opens his arms wide and catches you in an instant. He shifts you into a bridal carry, and dips you down to plant a loving hiss on your nose.

Bonus points if you kiss him back along where his freckles would be without makeup. Oh this man is dying

"Mon coheur....what a wonderful surprise! If you were to greet me like this every day for the rest of my life, I would die a happy man indeed,"

Ignihyde Dorm

Idia Shroud

Catches you

On accident :)

More like you just fall in his lap, but it still counts? Kind of

He was in his room, multitasking both controlling his floating tablet around school while also playing the latest MMO

Just when he started to wonder where you might be (normally you find his tablet during study break) he hears his door burst open

Startled, he whips around in his chair to see you running at him. He lets go of the computer mouse and keyboard on impulse. Right when you jump and basically straddle him in his chair

Idia.exe has stopped working. From the sudden entrance, to the physical contact, to your giddy rambling about...something? He can't hear past the buzzing in his ears and just nods along

Hyper aware that you are sitting in his lap still. Attempting to control himself...and failing.

"U-uhhh, can y-you please move? Like, off of me? I c-can get you a chair,"

You comply, and he calms down for a second. He's not complaining but why would you -

an internet trend? Ortho told you to?

....Idia doesn't know if he should thank his brother or scold him.

Ortho Shroud (PLATONIC!)

Little Ortho meets you half way! You do not get to jump because he sees your arms open for a hug and does not waste a moment

With you basically being one of his best friends (and hopefully second sibling. Ortho is rooting for his big bro to win your heart!) he loves your hugs

When you ruffle his hair after letting go, his eyes crinkle into the cutest little upturned crescents and he laughs

"You know...I bet brother would love one of your hugs! You should go surprise him!"

Diasomnia Dorm

Malleus Draconia

Child of man, what a wonderful surprise?

You are fulfilling this man's fantasy. You know the phrase 'looking through rose-colored class'?

You're running towards him and he's watching like it's an early 2000s AMV on Youtube

Or like a Tik Tok edit. You know the ones

Drops everything. AND I MEAN EVERYTHING

It is like this man loses all sense of his surroundings. Lovesick fool.

Opens his arms wide with a soft smile, and when you jump he barely flinches. Your arms wrap around his shoulders and legs around his waist. One of his arms holds the small of your back, and the other your rear. He...well, yes he is aware and is doing it on purpose. Our prince isn't uhm...well, he is a man. A gentlemen, but still a man nonetheless.

"What a welcome greeting. Are you comfortable? I would like to remain this way for longer, if you do not mind"

He holds you tight with his head comfortably buried in between your neck and shoulder. Malleus lightly kisses the fabric of your uniform blazer, before returning to his prior activities like nothing is amiss

Lilia Vanrouge

...I guess? It's complicated.

You come at this bat from behind in an attempt to surprise him

He's not that old, y'know. Lilia senses you trailing him the moment you begin. Then again, he always knows when you're within a five mile radius.

What? Is it really so bad for him to seek out the object of his affections? Anyone else would do the same. It's not like he's being a creep about it...you just have a unique presence.

He is also well versed in internet trends. Lilia can't help but humor you. He walks around unknowing and occasionally snickering. Some question what he finds so humorous, and he waves them off with a cheeky grin

He senses your intent to attack, and doesn't turn around when you call his name. You jump at him from behind and koala hug his back

If it weren't for the hands holding your calves, you'd think him ignorant.

'Lilia? Lilia~ Hello? Are you already deaf so soon-'

Faster than you can comprehend, he spins you around to face him and pecks your lips

"Why hello there, my dear. Care to finish that sentence?"

'....no'

Sebeck Zigvolt

Does not catch you. He initially thought you were aiming for Malleus, and stood in front of his superior to protect him

Oh he should have known! Betrayal! You have betrayed him!

...why are you calling his name? WHY ARE YOU LAUGHING?

Oh seven it's one of your pranks again, isn't it? Whya re you always doing such-

When you yell for him to catch you, Sebeck does so without a second thought

but he fails. His offensive stance wasn't fit for taking the imbalance of weight, and he couldn't get a stable grip on you

Gravity pulls him forwards on a path where his weight would crush you

So Sebeck quickly wraps one of his hands around the back of your head, and flips so he takes the impact instead

"Have you gone mad?! I genuinely cannot fathom what is going on in your brain anymore. Who put you up to this? What if you had been injured? What if you injured Lord Malleus?....stop laughing and listen to me!"

Silver

Do not startle a man with a sword.

Once again, do NOT startle a man with a SWORD.

Silver catches you. Easily. He also thinks it is absolutely adorable that you trust him enough to do so.

It's just that you could have warned him. Y'know, considering that he is armed and trained to draw his weapon at the slightest sign of a threat :)

Lucky for you, Silver is high-key vigilant since he has a tendency to doze off to dreamland. He sensed your presence but couldn't pinpoint where...

Imagine his surprise when you jump down from above :) The hell do you think you are, his father?

On instinct he reaches out and catches you in a bridal carry. Your rear knocks against the sword hanging at his side, and with a grunt he places you down on the floor to check for injury

"While I love spending time with you, can you please use the door next time? For my sanity?"

[lordichamo]

WRONG WAY, MY SCARAB!!!!

[capri-ramblings]

could you maybe expand on the telling the twst cast about Covid? maybe even with Yuu telling them that they had Covid (I've had it twice). and just casually dropping that "yeah, my whole world of 7 billion people shut down because we went into a literal deadly pandemic"

Twice is insaaaaaaane,anon 😭 I hope you didn't get any long lasting side effects 🫶🏻 cause I know a friend's uncle lost his sense of taste completely 😭 anyways,I'm sorry this took so long! You didn't specify who but like I went with whoever came up 🥹

Epel - He's one of the first to know this and he just loses his mind, actually. Like; "Huhh? Whaddya mean yer closed up for a whole year an' everyone hatta' be cooped in?" He's all bug eyed and gaping at Yuu when they explain to him how it started and the overall escalation throughout the world and that's what gets him the most; the fact it did indeed went around the globe. It terrifies him. You can bet he'd be telling Vil and Rook and then anyone else who would listen to him because it's probably how he copes. He doesn't say it but Yuu has a feeling that the detail where so many families were separated and kept away from each other and that it was the elders and children which were often losing the battle with the virus is what keeps him up at night.

It gets worse when Yuu mentions they got it but thankfully survived. It's more of a passing comment than an actual announcement really but that didn't stop Epel from losing it.

Vil - Is mortified but very critical about it too. He's been hearing it a lot from Epel and seeing how visible shaken poor Epel was, he just had to get more from the source. He seems unflinching about it at first but Vil probably finds the whole situation dreadful because he would understand the necessary steps and preventions which were taken to put things under control. He may even have his own thoughts on how he would have done the procedures himself.

Once he confirms the part where Yuu had said they contracted the virus and survived, he both commends and chides them for it but it's more because he genuinely cares than anything else.

"I'd expect relaying such information would make anyone flinch from the memories alone but it seems you find it a distant memory."

"Well, I'm just happy I made it out better than most."

Vil's smile is small but there's a renewed endearment behind it.

Azul - An entire population forced into solidarity confinement AND businesses going bankrupt due to this virus probably had Azul in a chokehold. Especially when Yuu does go all; "Places went empty,food joints,malls,offices, you name it—" and he would. Like Vil, Azul would understand the extent of this pandemic and how it managed to corner an entire nation. The sickness itself would disturb him due to the fact it was easily transferable from one person to another.

He gapes at them a little after they tell him about them getting the Virus and there's an actual hint of worry in the way he goes, "Ah. I see.." it's probably cause he does the whole maths of things in his head and came to the inevitable conclusion that Yuu is somewhat freakishly formidable. Even before they were sent here, Yuu was already beating odds that were hard for most. He finds it a little unsettling and maybe even attractive.

Can you maybe do TWST X Reader headcanons with a Yuu that decided to remain in TWST? A Yuu that took the time to decide, and ultimately decided to stay. Like how the characters would react.

Thank you for even just reading ^^

Yuu stayed?

Masterlist

Due to the vast amount of characters I’ll be doing just Heartslabyul rn and if you like it you can have more!

I’m gonna leave hints of romance in there but if that’s not your thing then just read it as platonic

Okay so for context : this is the first person your telling of the decision.

• when you told him after pulling him alone for five minutes he almost dropped his teacup.

• like you could physically see the information running through him.

•…you’re staying?

• he begins to panic, his face going red as he asks you if this is due to your worries of Crowleys incompetence and you’re just settling here!

• but once you reassure him that yeah. Staying here is what you want…he genuinely doesn’t know what to say.

• I mean, he knows people are able to live lives here without magic but after all you’ve been through. The fact that you have no records and it will truly be a big curve to being able to exist here worries him

• he almost forgets about the unbirthday as he begins to drag you off to help you get your affairs in order so you can live an easier life

• you can see though once you get back to the party he’s over the moon. You were ultimately one of the people who snapped him out of his miserable state and let him finally help himself

• you are truly a part of their world and he’s so happy he never has to let you go

• okay so like. When he screamed and woke up grim that’s not his fault! He never expected you to stay!

• I mean c’mon. He forgot you aren’t from this world but everytime he was reminded he was convinced you’d leave one day. He only pushed it down because it was too hard an idea to deal with

• so when you tell him you really are staying he’s so in shock.

• he actually punched himself because he genuinely thought this was a dream. But once he saw it was real he started laughing and hugging you

• while in his dream you could still go home knowing that you JUST wanted to stay here with him made him elated.

• you had told him when you were walking back with him to his dorm from a track club meeting of his.

• he started choking on his water to the pint he has to lean on a tree-

• once he finally calms down he immediately begins asking you a million questions a second like if you’re sure , if you’re really happy here, what are you gonna do when you leave?! Do you need a place to stay? His house has a spare home! His mum loves you you’re always welcome!

• and once again when FINALLY he catches his breath and you reassure him on your decision and plans he bursts into tears as he hugs you so damn tight

• you’re one of his first friends ever when he turned his life around. You helped him stay at night Raven college.

• you became such a fixture in his life that honestly he’s relived he never has to learn what’s it like when you’re permanently not around

• though I do warn. You better tell the others quickly because he will accidentally mention it at least twice the next day

• His mask fell like a ton of bricks.

• like immediately looked you dead in the eyes with a blank face as he asked you to repeat yourself.

• so when you do you seek the real Cater, a smile that truly reaches his his eyes forms as he throws around his arms to hug you, his phone forgotten strewed across the floor. He’s so relived he doesn’t have to say goodbye to you

• even if he has other people losing another to the normalities and changes of life as his normal he doesn’t want that anymore y’know??

• once you both calm down from the joy he asks if he can post a little photo celebrating it. He adds a funny little cryptic caption so you can have the thunder of letting others know you’re staying

• you had told him in the middle of a baking session he had invited you too! He had been inviting you around to help out a lot lately because for some reason he had this deep gut feeling something was up.

• not a bad something was up but just that something was going to happen.

• so when you mentioned it casually to him as he was busy in a particularly difficult part of making the pastries he only froze for a seconds before smiling and telling you “you sure? You’ve seen how bad it can get.”

• but once you reassure him that you wanna stay he just nods continuing the baking

“I mean I guess you have lived through the worst of it. You’re already prepared.”

• but once it’s all in the oven and he’s able to move freely he crushed you in a hug not even caring about the muck on you both.

• despite his casual words and calm face you can feel the sheer love that he holds behind the facade in the iron clad grip
