#no wei

[theonemarvelousness]

If Azul pulled this move while dating No Wei, would she break up with him on the spot or?

Now it depends if they're on teams or not. If they're on teams, it's fine. Just one of them has to win.

If it's a free for all and she just had one card left? COUCH. HE GOES TO THE COUCH.

a serene no wei from @theonemarvelousness's work on ao3; Twisted-Up Wonderland. I think they call this kind of thing gap moe, or something. I don't know what those words mean. anyways, no text ver + design notes under the cut

my ref photo too. almost forgot that. trying to use refs more often. it is. an attempt

alright, note time :

I know no wei has been described as having 'long hair' post-haircut (somewhere in the side stories I believe) but I always pictured her as having shorter hair after chapter 3 (and also a bald spot thanks to azul for a brief second lol) ; probably because of the comparison to epel she makes when she sees her bangs. ("rook, isn't this a little feminine? well, maybe it's fine, just look at epel" or something of that effect in her mind.) : though, to be fair to myself, anything past the ears is probably 'long' to nrc students who see her as a man. I'm torn on this. I am maybe canon compliant. I don't know why I care. very explicitly only the ringlet part is set in stone for her appearance hair-wise. I tried on that with mixed results

I've always seen no wei as having black hair, and eyes literally exactly like grims. like. pupil and sclera and everything. I've chosen to reign myself in on this and give her normal-ish eyes, but I've kept the slit pupil. why I thought this way is likely because of the start where she goes ("wait, my eyes are different? maybe if this is what happens to people with familiars, grim is mine after all" or something like that.) - which probably made me assume their eyes were closer looking than likely intended or something yeah.

the black hair is also, admittedly, because I picture human grim with black hair despite having grey fur. I don't know either. no wei is basically "would be sort of twins with a human grim" to me in my mind.

I have a hilarious idea for a short story for you: in one potential future where No Wei marries Leona, their oldest daughter and Malleus fall in love. Leona is unhappy and it takes his wife and oldest daughter a while to convince him to grudgingly accept the marriage. All of their school friends find Leona's situation funny.

SO in a timeline No and Leona have a daughter named Sura.

Now I'm imagining future!Sura x Malleus.

WHY IS THIS GIVING ME TWILIGHT VIBES? BUT BELLA MARRIED JACOB INSTEAD?

EUGH

E U G H

You have cursed me, friend.

My mind is wounded.

Hi, I was wondering if I could request a No Wei × Lilia fanfic if you're free! Feel free to ignore and I wish you the best, author!!! Ps: I love No Wei's story and whenever I can I end up rereading it.

Always up for requests. Usually good fuel for fanfic tbh.

--TWST BOOK 7 SPOILERS--

Lilia's a little surprised, her grip's a lot stronger than her frame belies. Something he knows quite well, doesn't he? But she's got his hand in her's. Desperately clinging to him, he supposes. He doesn't move to get away, even if it's in her power.

The other hand joins, holding tight. Her gaze finally raises to meet his. If he didn't know any better, the unnatural glow and look of her blue eyes would be more fae than human. But there's not a drop of magic in her veins.

"No." His voice can't help but be soft. There's tears in her eyes.

"Two years." Her voice is so firm, so stubborn.

Brows raise, he lets her continue.

"When I graduate. Two years. I'm coming for you."

His heart skips a beat in his chest. Admittedly, he isn't entirely sure if this is a threat or not. That's perhaps the excitement.

No gives his hand an assured squeeze. There's such fiery determination in her eyes. "Then... I will remain in the Valley until then." He doesn't necessarily believe her. It's just a silly crush, but he isn't about to tear that soft heart of her's to pieces either. Malleus would never forgive him...

"I want three kids at least. Make room for that." A nod, and she lets go.

Lilia has rarely found himself flustered, but he swears he feels the tips of his ears go pink at such a brazen declaration. It is quite forward, and the... he clears his throat. "I will keep your request in mind, No." Silly girl.

Now, she lets go. "Two years, Lilia." She wipes her eyes, offering a sad smile. "I'll miss you."

He nods, turning, and heading home through the Mirror of Darkness.

She'll forget about him by then.

---

A peaceful almost-summer day, Lilia sighs, content. A glass of tomato juice in hand, a book in the other. He's enjoying his quiet retirement. The sweetness of his wonderful life. Malleus will be crowned in some years or decades or centuries. Silver should return from training in the evening... yes, this is the life.

Sebek will be home in the next few days if he remembers right! Ah, then he'll join Silver training. What a wonderful life.

A knock comes to his door. Loud and demanding. Oh, is that Sebek? Maybe he's lost track of the days. "Coming, coming!" A chuckle, bright eyed as he heads to the door and swings it open. "Good to--"

Well yes, Sebek is standing there with his luggage, clearly fresh from travel. But with him is a very unmistakable figure: No Wei. She stands there with one large suitcase stuffed to the brim, bright eyes shining. He can hear Grim eating the garden. Damn.

"No Wei." He is in shock. Disbelief.

There's a bright grin. She wraps her arms around him immediately. "Lilia! I've missed you so much!" Though, she lets go and looks around, frowning. "Is this big enough...? I said three kids, Lilia."

Sebek sputters.

BOOK SEVEN SPLIT OFF SNIPPET

(I DON'T HAVE TIME TO SIT AND WRITE THIS BUT YOLO)

A person bullies past me I don't recognize. Their uniform doesn't fit. They're flying, holding a sack of something... is that white powder, falling?

I mean, my first thought is drugs. Maybe I'm just paranoid. I haven't even encountered a good cigarette in awhile, let alone pills or powder. I should just let it go.

But it feels like, in this moment, I'm at a crossroads as the person with pink-ish hair stops against the wall, leaning back. He? She? Looks into the bag with a smile I don't like. They don't notice me (no surprise). Something's off.

Time feels like it stills a moment. I've got two paths, to ignore it, or to inform someone.

I turn, and spot Professor Trein. "--Professor!" I go over, making my choice.

"I don't know that student." I point to the kid? Person? Looking around and starting to head off from the wall.

Trein narrows his gaze. "Lucius, follow them. Meow incessantly." He instructs.

I swear the cat grumbles, but he heads off. Rushing over and starting to meow loudly. The person cusses, but the cat follows basically screaming after. Trein gives me a glance. "Thank you." And he rushes off too.

Oh.

I guess that isn't a student.

But now it's out of my heads, I turn my head to watch Lucius yowling after the pink-haired person and nosy students starting to follow. That's definitely Rook Hunt on the case...

I'll ask later, but I've got a birthday to interview, don't I...?

While my face still hurts, I'm super up for writing short things people request. Twsted-Wonderland related.

Who is YOUR least favorite and favorite TWST boy?

Least favorite:

Idia Shroud.

Lord Almighty.

I'm not going to write him terribly (bad ends don't count) because I don't like him. But I will stick to maybe making fun of him in minor ways. Friend fiction being one of them because he's extra enough to turn the made-up arguments in his head into friend fiction until Rook catches something and now there's commissions on the table.

It makes me laugh. That's all that matters.

It's... his personality. He has a great character design, 10/10 Hades boy. I do enjoy his relationship with Ortho even though... y'know, emotionally/physically dependent problems there and y'know bad grief coping.

These boys have mega problems anyway.

It's the ego. Like, you're a loser Idia, stop acting like hot shit. I'd like to bully him personally. He's an adult, grow up. His hobbies are not the problem at all. Be a weeb. That's cool.

*I'm sooo superior b/c of my tech--* Oh my God he's a reddit incel -girl opinions.

Now I understand.

He's the only character I initially disliked that I did not grow to like with time and game. I also didn't care for Floyd, Ace, and others. Ace is still on the shitlist but a light shitlist.

Most favorite:

I suppose no one noticed this was a Malleus Draconia SIMP space even if that's not No's Endgame... or IS it? Let's be honest I may or may not have every ending and many bad ones in this head of mine. <3

Malleus started a new wave of dudes-I'm-into. I've always liked the darker bishie types. Sesshoumaru. Vincent Valentine. Mmm gimme tall and pretty. However... Somehow twiggy dragons got in there recently and it started with him (Zhongli and Neuvillette after). I also really, really, really love himbos. Like. Oh man. Himbos. But something about that not-understanding-humanity has now become a favorite flavor (Malleus and Neuvillette--maybe Zhongli in a different way). But I've really only gotten into two fandoms in the past 4-5 years because it's hard to keep up with many.

Malleus is hot, full stop. But there's something about that darker-than-though presentation but an absolute utter NERD underneath that's getting me. I wouldn't say Malleus is necessarily soft-hearted either, just inexperienced.

I also like older men, so it checks out.

HOWEVER.

None of my personal opinions influence the endgame for No. <3 So, hah.
