How would the ROs react to an MC that just woke up and has serious bedhead and is just adorable in their groggy state?

Vitalius/Astasus: He's not quite aware enough to acknowledge the way he beams at the mere sight of you, but he will pull a *you're doing amazing, sweetie* moment and will want to save the picture of you in his mind.

Eratine: Is grossed out - both by you and himself. First off all, that bedhead is impressive and his first instinct is to mock you for it. Then he notices the thudding in his chest and he wants to crawl in a hole and die. He'll crawl back under the blanket and roll around in his first-crush misery.

Bernadine: Gives you a thumbs up - both about the massively impressive hair and the adorableness. She'll tell you point blank that you look cute before going about her morning.

Brigid/Hesychia: Will tease you about your bedhead but she'll frown and blush when she notices just how cute you look. She'll find a way to turn it around back on you if you notice, but the blush is crawling down her neck and up her ears. Her wings will noticeably fidget behind her and she'll stomp off after a while.

Miki-Tane: They'll laugh at your bedhead, and openly tell you how adorable you look - they'll be super lighthearted about it though, to the point where you're not sure if they're serious. They are, they just don't want you to know.

Diacinth: The second he notices you he'll squeak and hide - he'll poke his eye out from behind his fingers to catch a second glance while hoping beyond hope you didn't hear him. If you did, he runs away. If you didn't, he'll admire your adorableness for a moment longer before getting ready himself.

Nonnatus: He's so overtaken by his displeasure over your 'unsightly deportment' that: a) he doesn't even notice his own severe bedhead, and b) he also doesn't notice the way his face has gone almost completely red.

Elia: Is laughing much too hard - you may think that they've just lost their mind at your hair, but really their laughter is a tad forced. They don't want to tell you how cute you look, and hope you'll fix it before anyone else sees.

Revenant: Is the reason you have terrible hair - it had been fine until he (in smol form) mussed it up on purpose just to embarrass you. He looses his mind when you wake up looking like you got caught in a hurricane.

The mc is suddenly transformed into a cute, tiny animal. How does everyone react?(revenant too if you don't mind!)

Vitalius/Astasus: He's panicking - did he do this? How does he undo it? What's he supposed to do? He's desperate to get you back to normal.

Eratine: Is laughing at you - he's concerned, of course, and wants to get you back to normal but he's also stoked by the idea of you being small and adorable like this. He loves picking you up and teasing you.

Bernadine: Is genuinely concerned, but also loves holding you in her arms and giving you a little squish. You are just so cute. She'll be the first one to figure out how to turn you back though.

Brigid/Hesychia: Is calm about the whole situation, picking you up so nothing happens to you and carrying you around until they figure out what happened to you.

Miki-Tane: Is loosing their mind - like, they're concerned, but also you're so cute? They can't handle it, and despite how usually helpful they are they're now completely useless.

Diacinth: Is panicking alongside Astasus. He's far too scared to hold you and mostly keeps a watchful distance as the others try to figure it out.

Nonnatus: Tries to be rational but he's positively enchanted by your tiny animal form. He'll make an attempt to resist giving you a squish but the second he has you in his arms he'll give in and squeeze you just a little bit.

Elia: They're loving it - while they can't hold you, they can make fun of you and they absolutely do. Just because they find the whole thing so amusing they'll actively sabotage the student's efforts to get you back to normal.

Revenant: "How does it feel, hm?"

[gravesofheirscog]

How would the ROs react to an MC who finds pompom revenant or any forms of the revenant to be adorable? Like, “look at how adorable he is” holding the pompom revenant in their hands while shaking him like a magic 8 ball while his googly googly eyes start going googly while they’re shaking him.

Vitalius/Astasus: Astasus is enchanted... with you. You are the epitome of kindness, looking upon such a pitiful creature and managing to find something to love. Your excitement has him feeling excited too, but he'd be remiss if he didn't admit that your pet is a bit unnerving to look at.

Eratine: You're insane - that's the only explanation. To look at... that, and find anything redeemable is something not even a blind man would be capable of. The fact that you've glued googly eyes to it and are shaking it like it owes you money is a whole other problem! He can barely bring himself to look at it - the glee on your face, the excitement has nothing to do with it! He is not blushing!

Bernadine: She's captivated, and the sight of the googly eyes bouncing up and down along with your lit up face has her laughing. The curious thoughts that normally overtake everything else are pushed away as she listens to you wax poetic about the creature in your arms. She doesn't find it adorable, no; it is something, and so are you.

Brigid/Hesychia: Is somewhat enamored, both with how you can find a creature such as that adorable, how you managed to stick googly eyes on it, and what the hells it is in the first place. Honestly, it creeps her out but she'll be a good sport, especially with how excited you are to show it to her. After the shock wears off, she'll glare at it behind your back. How dare this creature take up your attention and time!

Miki-Tane: He loves the googly eyes, and loves you for thinking to put them on... that. He'll try and understand what you love about it, tilting his head to look at it from different angles. When he decides it's a horrifying nightmare creature that should be killed with fire, he'll simply laugh and nod along with you. May poke it with a stick when you're not looking, just out of curiosity.

Diacinth: You ever see those videos of cats who bring live mice into their home and the owners jump onto furniture to hide from the mice? That's Diacinth. The googly eyes only make it worse - why are they all looking at him? He has climbed up onto a bookshelf, invisibility in full effect to hide from it. After the fact it makes him feel somewhat good that you have so much love to give, especially to something so grotesque. If you could love that, maybe you could tolerate him?

Nonnatus: Despite thinking it has to be some kind of affront onto God, Nonnatus is somewhat curious. He'll poke at it with his finger, inspecting almost as if he were planning to eat it later. After looking at it, and seeing how happy you are to show him, he thinks he gets what's charming about it. While he won't ask, Nonnatus will secretly hope you ask him to play with it together. Nothing would make him happier.

Bonus - Revenant: He's regretting every decision he's ever made as you shake him about. Will throw up, and he will direct it at you.

how Ros react to mc giving head pat?

Vitalius/Astasus: "Oh, thank you." He says with a smile. He's glad he's made you proud.

Eratine: "Why are you touching me, you weirdo?" His voice breaks and he trips over himself to avoid you, his face flushed.

Bernadine: "Did I do something to make you happy?" She asks, looking at you with a smile. "If so, I am glad."

Brigid/Hesychia: "What are you doing?" She asks, pouting a little.

Miki-Tane: "You know I am not actually a cat, right? You are not supposed to pet me - not that I mind." They say with a wink.

Diacinth: He stands stock still, gibberish spilling from his lips before he basically fades out of existence.

Nonnatus: "Whatcha doing? You're kind of a weird one." He says, avoiding your gaze and face bright red. He doesn't move though, and receives your pats dutifully.

Elia: Your hand passes through their head and they laugh softly. "I appreciate the thought, thank you."

Revenant: "I know I am very cute and irresistible - pet as long as you desire, my contractor."

[gravesofheirscog]

How would the RO react if the MC got startled by something and their reaction was immediately to grab on to their hand?

Vitalius/Astasus: "Do not worry. I will protect you," he says, gripping your hand tighter.

Eratine: Will slap your hand away - startled by it himself but he'll stay with you. "Do not just grab someone without warning!"

Bernadine: She'll hold your hand and tuck you behind her. "What is wrong? Is it something I can help with?"

Brigid/Hesychia: She probably got startled by the same thing so when he grab her hand she brings it up and grips it between hers. "Why are you relying on me?" She teases despite her fear. "I may be royalty, but I am probably not most people's first choice."

Miki-Tane: Wordlessly grips you tighter and scopes out the area. "What is it? Did something hurt you? You can rely on me."

Diacinth: Screams, but won't leave. He's gripping your hand so tight it hurts, but he won't let you go as long as you need him.

Nonnatus: He'll inhale sharply and flinch back - when he notices it's just you he'll take a deep breath. "Sorry - you scared me. Is there something I can help with? I'll do my best."

Elia: When your hand glides through theirs they'll laugh. "What a funny thing to do - grabbing the hand of a ghost. Don't worry, though. I'll stick around - just for you."

Revenant: Chokes - in smol form he doesn't have hands and so you've squeezed his smol body between your fingers and are wringing the life from him.

Ros react when they mistake the mc for a girl when mc is just a ✨ beautiful boy with long hair ✨ ?

Thank you so much for the request, Anon! I hope these were kind of what you were looking for!

Vitalius/Astasus: He thinks it’s the coolest thing in the world - you look so pretty! He’s impressed with the patience it takes to grow out long hair, and he’s impressed with how well you take care of yourself.

He reaches up to his cropped hair, squinting when he can’t even grab a strand. “Do you think I can do that - grow out my hair?” He asks you. “Do you like that kind of thing? I can try it out if you want me to.”

Eratine: He will spit out whatever’s in his mouth whether it be a drink, food, or his own spit. He chokes. Literally can’t handle it - it was gross enough when he thought you were pretty for a girl. Pretty as a boy? His poor brain explodes. He can’t handle it.

He sputters, wiping at his burning face. “Who you trying to impress, new kid? This ain’t no runway! No one here to bat your eyes at! Go be prett - I mean ugly, somewhere else!”

Bernadine: Unimpressed - she’s seen prettier. If only you were the first boy she mistook for a girl at first, Nonnatus being the first. Though she is somewhat interested in the products you use on your hair.

She shrugs, not even bothering to look up from her book. “Your hair is nice, I guess. Do you use special products to care for it? I’ve heard certain oils are good for scalp health.” She appears to be immune to your charms.

Brigid/Hesychia: Ha! Finally, someone who actually cares about deportment! About time! The other boys just don’t get it! She will offer to brush your hair for you if you brush hers in return - she has various homemade oils and creams she uses on her skin that she’s excited to show you. She’ll even let you use some if you do her chores in return.

“A boy?” She asks, wonderment gleaming in her wide eyes. “Oh, what a God-send you are! Tell me your tricks - your hair is so long, and your face positively glows! Truly, what a breath of fresh air.”

Miki-Tane: He’s amazed - another one? Amazing. His mind is going a mile a minute with the pranks you could play on people. Pretty girls are a dime a dozen in Ehrenreich, but pretty boys? One of two, and the other one is no fun - his heart is racing. He’s excited.

“What, for real? That’s awesome - do the wardens know?” He asks, slitted eyes blown wide with excitement. “’Cause if they don’t, we can have some real fun, you and I.”

Diacinth: He’s too nervous to talk at the best of times, but you’re pretty? The stutter comes out in full force. You’re pretty and he mistook you for a girl? He wants to die from embarrassment. How could you ever forgive him? He wants to fade away. He’s worried he’s offended you beyond what could ever be forgiven, and won’t be able to get out a single word should you talk to him.

You try and approach him during study time in the library only for him to vanish from sight. He knocks over a table and a desk in his hurry to leave, promptly passing out the second he reaches the dorms.

Nonnatus: Ah, the original resident pretty boy. Honestly, he’s glad. Someone to take the mantle - one he never wanted - off his head. He’s got better things to do than put up with the antics of the others, and he’s more than glad to pawn them off to you. He’s embarrassed for all of two seconds before he’s guiding the more excitable students in your direction. 

“Keep your distance,” he tells you, a blush crawling down his neck and tinting his ears. “I do not want the others to get ideas. Leave me be.”

Okay, how would the ros react to a MC that's like average looking, but is very charming and confidant. Always has a joke or a quip ready for any situation and is genuinely hilarious and fun to hang around with.

Thanks for the request!

Vitalius/Astasus: Looks have never mattered to him, and the fact that you're so effortless to hang out with has him charmed. Is always on the search for new topics to talk about, just to hear your voice and the way you react to it.

Eratine: Is always on the search for ways to knock you down a peg and tease you - only it never really works. The second he thinks of something your suave demeaner and easy going quips have him second guessing it. Will always be oddly quiet around you - his ears give him away though. They're always perked up, eyes downcast in your direction.

Bernadine: You're one of the few people she genuinely likes hanging around with - the others drain her energy somewhat fast. Your charming disposition is relaxing however, and she's always seeking your company to talk things over or to simply hang out.

Brigid/Hesychia: While she's open about her disappointment in your averageness, she's open about lauding your other points. She always has a wide smile on her face, teasing eyes jabbing at your lackluster appearance - at least when stood next to her - but in the next breath she's singing your praises and vying for you company.

Miki-Tane: They've never seen themselves as some kind of heartthrob, so they got it - they have white hair and are constantly called old. They get it. The two of you have built up your other traits, and they love hanging out with you - the banter is sublime, and they're always on the lookout for ways to tease you just to see how you respond.

Diacinth: He's relaxed around you - his self-esteem is in the gutter but your gentle-everyday appearance settles his nerves. Occasionally you might even hear his voice, you might even notice a set of footsteps next to you when walking down the halls. Your charm might even have him responding to a question or two - he genuinely likes spending time with you.

Nonnatus: Is irritated with how friendly you are - looks are the last thing on his mind at any time, but your charm has him gritting his teeth. Keep your distance, he wants to say. He'd never admit it but he desperately wants to talk openly with you and curses his stubbornness every time the opportunity passes.

Elia: They're a ghost in a sheet - they're the last person to be worrying about looks. As someone else with a somewhat suave personality, they find it calming to chat with you and just hang out - almost like they were a regular person.

Revenant: Subtly lords over you how beautiful he is - or at least how beautiful he thinks he is, as you can't see his face. Takes some of the bite out of his teasing when: a) you've never seen his face and b) the face you have seen is a nightmare creature that may or may not have too many eyes. He really enjoys chatting with you though, and his fake laments are overtaken by how he's always seeking you out.

What The CI’s (Crush Interests) Look Like:

I always have trouble deciding on how my characters should look, lmao. I swear, Astasus’ hair colour changed like ten times during the original manuscript lmao.

Vitalius/Astasus: Bearing the traditional burgundy-black hair of the Ornstein family, Astasus is a slight boy of average height and weight for his age with the ice blue eyes of his mother. He has a beauty mark under his left eye and pale skin easy to flush.

Eratine: With dark skin and light brown eyes, Eratine is small for his age, skinny from the years of neglect at Ehrenreich. The only sign to confirm his blood elf heritage is the black tinging the tips of his fingertips and pointed ears. Straight black hair cut blunt frames his sharp face, eyes always narrowed in displeasure to the point the lines are almost etched into his features.

Bernadine: Bernadine’s pixie cut blonde hair is always messy, compounding her dark chubby cheeks and the freckles dotting her face. She bears the all-to common neon eyes of her electra brethren, violet eyes wide with curiosity. Bernadine tends to tower over her peers, thin legs only bringing attention to how tall she is.

Brigid/Hesychia: Compared to Bernadine, Brigid is much shorter, mid length brown hair curled and tamed into two pigtails at the side of her head. Her greatest pride and joy being the thing linking her to the Theun royalty: her iridescent eyes, glowing with a myriad of colours and piercing in the dark. Her bronze skin glitters with the shine of diamonds, the wings on her back a subtle silver-blue.

Miki-Tane: While Eratine’s constant scowling may age him artificially, Miki-Tane’s hair is what has the others calling them old; it is a soft gray, spattered with streaks that change colour almost every day. Their ears bear the same shade fur with black stripes and tufts of fur near the top. Amber cat’s eyes and a lithe face almost constantly cut into a cheeky smirk, they appear mischievous with a slight build, able to fit into the places most wouldn’t even dare.

Diacinth: Due to his constant use of an invisibility charm, most of the students only have a foggy idea of what he looks like. They all disagree on what that is though.

Nonnatus: Being the good Church boy he is, Nonnatus looks the part of a knight’s squire or altar boy; blond hair cut almost into a bowl, the undercut showing his dark roots, with dark green eyes and a soft face. He’s tan, standing only slightly taller than Miki. He’s known for wearing a lot of layers, even when the summer months roll around and the castle get’s unbearable hot - his scarred hands perhaps hinting at the reason why. To his great shame and despair, he is frequently mistaken for a girl.
