BOTC Recap:

Cleo and Martyn running the game!

Roles:

Gem- The Drunk, but she thinks she's the Librarian.

Oli- The Virgin

Bdubs- The Washerwoman

Impulse- The Scarlet Woman

Tango- Raven Keeper

Joe- Mayor

Jimmy- Undertaker

Ren- Empath

False- Slayer

Scott- Imp

Pearl- Poisoner

Roles not in place: Soldier, investigator, fortune teller.

Night 1:

Martyn and Cleo are informing the evil team who each other are. Scott seems absolutely delighted with his minions.

Bdubs is being told either Oli or Impulse are the virgin.

Ren and Gem are also receiving their information.

Gem was told either Ren or False was the drunk. This was faulty info because she's the drunk.

Day 1:

Cleo and Martyn are dead! There's a demon among us!

Pearl, Scott, and Tango are conversing. Scott is claiming he's a role that does stuff at night, Pearl is claiming she can affect the game in a really good way.

Impulse, Bdubs, and Joe are talking about how they have to figure out who the outsider is. Bdubs seems confused.

Oli, Grian, and Jimmy are talking. Oli is saying they should keep him alive and trust him. Grian wanted Jimmy and Oli to kiss.

Gem is telling Ren or False that one of them is drunk.

Tango walked away for a second so Scott and Pearl are strategizing. Jim then joined them. Pearl is note taking.

Gem stole Scott.

Oli went over to the Impulse, Bdubs, Joe group. Bdubs is convinced Oli is a demon.

We've got Ren and Tango conversing.

Back to the main feed!

Bdubs is calling for information from anyone. He is suspicious of Oli.

Joe is asking for who the outsider is. Gem is saying that there is a drunk but won't say who it is other than that it's not Joe. Ren is also confirming that Joe isn't the drunk.

Tango is saying both Pearl and Ren were outspoken about their roles.

Trial 1:

Bdubs is accusing Jimmy of being a demon. His reason is that he felt like it.

Jimmy's defense is that was not very nice and to please not do a bit and vote him out. Ren and Bdubs voted yes, but no one else.

Night 2:

Pearl poisoned Tango. This doesn't really do anything because Tango didn't die and he only learns I for when he dies.

Scott killed Jimmy. Of course.

Ren learned neither of his neighbors (Jimmy or False) are evil.

Day 2:

We've got Impulse and Scott convo, I think they're coming up with Impulse's bluff. They know Gem is the Librarian.

Ren, Bdubs, and Tango convo: Bdubs said he was given information on the first night that either Oli or Impulse is the virgin. He's decided Impulse is the Virgin.

Gem and Oli are talking, Gem is willing to die to prove Oli is innocent.

Gem is telling Tango and Bdubs that Ren is the drunk.

False and Scott discussed that False might be drunk according to Gem. False is saying she cannot test her role.

Gem is gonna sacrifice herself by nominating Oli to prove he's the virgin when she dies and he doesn't. This is so funny because it won't work. Because Gem is the drunk. And thus an outsider and not the townsfolk.

Oli and Joe are discussing the very possibility I just said. Oli had not considered that Gem might be the drunk until now lol.

Trial 2:

Gem nominated Oli to prove that he's the virgin. Again, this will not work. They've realized there are two possibilities: Either Gem is the drunk, Oli is the drunk, or Gem is a demon. Gem has realized she is the Drunk.

Bdubs and Oli PSA to not do alcohol and to stay celibate

Bdubs has nominated Impulse. He did not die. Impulse never told Bdubs he was the virgin.

Oli has been used and is thus useless as a virgin. This is just how the game works okay?!??

Night 3:

Pearl poisoned False

Scott killed Joe but that means it bounces onto someone random

Ren learned neither of his alive neighbors is evil

Day 3:

Oli died because the kill bounced off of Joe.

Cleo is reminded them to kill people.

Ren, Pearl, Gem, and Joe are conversing. Ren is revealing he knows that False, Jimmy, and Joe are not evil. Pearl is claiming to be the investigator. Joe is telling Pearl to look for anyone who looks surprised when someone dies. He's saying when Jimmy died Scott looked surprised, which is funny because Scott looked way more surprised when. Gem has figured out the evil team already lol. Pearl is throwing Impulse under the bus to prove she's the investigator.

Scott, Bdubs, and Jimmy are conversing.

Impulse, Tango, and Oli are conversing, mainly trying to figure out who the drunk is.

Sorry I got really distracted watching Pearl gaslight and girlboss I didn't get what anyone else talked about.

Trial 3:

Ren is nominating Impulse. He's claiming the investigator told him it was Impulse. Joe is backing him up because Impulse lied to him and Bdubs.

Impulse defense is that he's the soldier. He was voted to die.

Night 4:

Pearl poisoned Oli which is nothing.

Scott killed himself, making Pearl the Imp. Classic Scott behavior.

Ren learned 0 of his neighbors are evil.

Day 4:

Scott has died. Our living folks are Ren, False, Pearl, Gem, Bdubs, Joe and Tango. Pearl is now the Imp.

Pearl is in a complicated position rn. Shes the only evil alive.

Scott, Ren, and Jimmy are saying Bdubs is evil because he keeps acussing people.

Pearl and Bdubs are talking. Bdubs is still confused how his powers work and thinks maybe he was poisoned.

Oli and False are talking. They are also still deeply consider over whether or not he's the virgin. Gem came in and is convinced Pearl is evil and Impulse wasn't.

Joe, Tango, and Impulse are talking and Pearl told a different lie to Tango so now they all know she's sus.

Ren, False, and Oli are also sus of Pearl. This may be the end.

I think Scott overplayed by leaving Pearl alone.

Trial 4:

Pearl is claiming to be the investigator and that she was pinged that either Bdubs or Impulse was a Scarlet Woman. Joe is going in really hard on her.

Bdubs defense of himself is that he's an honest person and Pearl lied to him in their conversation.

Oli is saying that Bdubs did say he was the virgin and was right.

Tango is pointing out that Pearl lied to him. Ren is also going in on Pearl. Pearl is saying Ren misunderstood what she said.

Scott is saying he died the night after he told Bdubs his role.

Bdubs has been voted to be on the block.

False used her ability to slay Pearl! The game ends! Good wins!

[roanlovesvampires]

this is prolly not a big revelation to anyone but me, but walk with me through this process

Assad said in an interview that the assertion "Armand turned Daniel out of spite" is simply how Louis sees it. So it's not necessarily the truth (ofc), but also that Louis doesn't know the truth.

Eric recently teased (spoiled?) past devil's minion by saying someone else had been in Daniel's life the whole time, but he didn't remember it 👀

Rolin confirmed Luke Brandon Field won't be in season 3, but he made it seem like he might be in season 4.

They're still planning a Night Island show! I think if they wait for a hot sec (like, at least after season 4), it could more heavily feature Daniel and Armand. Cuz they KNOW the fans are fucking ravenous for devil's minion.

Daniel admits in TVL episode 1 that he's overdosed in the past.

I might need to read it again, but in chapter 1 of Daniel's memoir (which describes Daniel's life shortly before and after the Divisadero Incident), Daniel makes himself out to be overly confident. That he's just having fun with drugs. That he doesn't have a problem. But he writes it like his younger self was a dumbass and foreshadows future issues.

THEREFORE! ☝️I think that Armand left Louis for a while after the Divisadero Incident. Whether they were literally broken up, on a break, or simply physically separated, I'm not sure. Armand hinted at wanting to leave Louis in s2e5, and I think he was really tired of being Louis's keeper.

In the book, Armand and Louis kinda do their own thing, even when they are companions. They were still technically together when Louis reunited with Lestat in New Orleans.

During this period of separation, I think this is when Armand stalks Daniel and eventually falls in love with him. I think they buy Night Island like in the book. I think that Daniel OD's at least once while he and Armand are still together. It could be this that makes Armand ultimately erase his memories.

I think Louis is wholly ignorant of devil's minion during this time. Which like.... whew boy! When he finds out!

ANYWAY, this is great news for me personally! Let's just say I'm actually super happy I got a little stuck while writing "You're my matador" cuz now I have NEW IDEAS for where I want the plot to go!!! I might have to make a whole ass series lmao

[kiyo-cant-write]

Imagine octavinelle with a shrimp merman ? I don't remember if they are actually called that 😭😭

octavinelle with shrimp merman ✧･ﾟ

Thank you for requesting! I am sorry this took so long. Uni makes me literally want to cry sometimes when it keeps me from finishing things. Also happy Valentine's Day!! 💕 🍫 🍬 Lol, it's 1:30am in the morning for me! I'm sleeping now! Enjoy~!

If I made a mistake, please do request again btw!

Summary: The reader is a shrimp merman. What does Octavinelle think of their classmate?

TW/CW: Just some tweel-typical implied violence/bothering

Notes: pre-relationship, male reader, he/him pronouns for the reader, the reader is NOT Yuu/Ramshackle Prefect, the reader is explicitly in Octavinelle and a first-year at NRC

[Name] is a shrimp merman, not an uncommon species but not a common one either. Growing up in the Coral Sea, he is now among the students at NRC who attended "land camp" to learn how to walk among humans in a form gained by taking a special potion.

Once he arrived at Night Raven College, he was promptly sorted into the dorm of the benevolent Sea Witch, Octavinelle. It was there that he met the housewarden and his... assistants? Associates?

Just what kind of place is this??

Azul Ashengrotto

Azul doesn't feel any which way about [Name] being a shrimp merman though he does note there aren't many of them.

Even back home, he had only heard of a handful (maybe)

The real annoyance sets in when the twins decide this is a perfect reason to pick on or otherwise bother [Name].

While Azul tolerates it to a degree, Floyd takes it too far.

Azul ends up having to step in and that is where the friendship begins between [Name] and Azul.

Meet cute where boss saves you from his minions-

Azul is a surprisingly caring friend when he genuinely likes someone. He might seem a bit detached at times but the boy is just scared of getting hurt again like when he was younger.

Azul sometimes forgets [Name] is a shrimp merman.

Azul tries not to think about being an octomer.

He may or may not be projecting this onto [Name] as well.

All in all, Azul doesn't mind [Name].

[Name]'s species doesn't affect how he sees him.

He would only worry if the other merman seemed to know of his past. Then he would force him to sign an NDA.

Azul was not expecting to find a shrimp merman in his lounge before opening and being just about harassed by not one eel but two. Floyd, he could ignore. When was Floyd not doing something vastly inappropriate for the situation because it seemed "fun"? But Jade knew better. Or, in Azul's mind, he did. However, the octomer was reconsidering that sentiment as he watched the shrimpmer get tossed between Jade and Floyd.

Right, left. Right, left. Right...

"Jade, Floyd," Azul spoke in a firm tone of voice as he walked over to the twins, "What exactly are you doing to this person?"

He saw Floyd let out a sigh at being caught whereas Jade simply smirked a closed-mouth smile that made Azul vaguely uneasy (a natural response to Jade Leech in these situations). Both of them, however, made no moves to let go of the other boy.

"The two of you have work to be doing," Azul reminded, teeth gritted as he wanted to smack at least one of them (probably Floyd).

"We do, but this seems like such fun," Jade responded.

"Yeah! You never let us do anything fun, Azul," Floyd added.

The octomer sighed this time, shooting them a glare. They knew he might do something they didn't like if they pushed him enough. And that wasn't something either twin would risk just for a few minutes of fun, maybe for something more worthwhile, but not just throwing an underclassman around. That would never be "worth it" to them.

"Jade, Floyd, get back to work," Azul told them once more.

"Of course, understood," Jade offered, releasing the grip he had had on the shrimpmer's shoulder at last, "I will do so right away."

Jade seemed keen on pretending he hadn't misbehaved. Azul didn't even want to say anything. He ignored the look of relief that crossed the shrimpmer's face at being let go by at least one of the eels.

"Maa, fine," Floyd agreed a few seconds after Jade, pushing the shrimpmer toward Azul as he spoke, "You play with him, then."

With that, Floyd turned to walk away, not realizing what he had done.

[Name], not expecting to be pushed, went flying toward Azul, who had to reach out at the last minute to catch them. [Name]'s arm got caught in Azul's scarf, and Azul's cane tripped [Name] again... And the two fell to the floor with [Name] having his palms against the cool floor of the lounge and Azul's head pinned between them.

"Ehhh?" Azul managed to let out a sound between surprise and horror as he realized the kind of position they were in.

He could hear the twins snickering, watching instead of returning to their posts before the rush began. He would get them or this later.

"I'm sorry, senpai!" [Name] began, shifting to move away from him and only complicating the position the two were in, "Ah, sorry again..."

"Just..." Azul began, "Just stop it."

He tried to ignore the heat on his cheeks, the deep color his face probably was at this point. He could pretend it wasn't happening if he just waited it out. But he also couldn't. He was in the middle of the floor and customers would arrive soon.

Slowly, he moved to take the other boy's forearms in his gloved hands and push him away from him in the least awkward way possible, all the while hearing the shrimpmer apologize some more.

Once they were disentangled, all the while Floyd and Jade just watched in amusement instead of helping (really, Azul wanted to punch one of them so badly), Azul glanced awkwardly at the shrimpmer before he sighed in defeat and spoke again.

"You may have whatever drink you like for free today," Azul told him.

"Really?" he asked Azul, surprised by the offer.

"It was my employees who did this to you, it's an apology and an offer to buy your silence for what just happened."

It was only the right thing to do, Azul told himself.

"Oh... Oh! I won't tell anyone," [Name] promised, offering a slight smile, "Thank you for the drink, senpai."

"Of course," he told them, still sounding winded and a bit tired.

Oh, yes. Azul would be thankful to head back to his office after this.

"I'm [Full Name] by the way," the shrimpmer added before he found a table and began ordering his drink from one of the twins (Azul really couldn't care less which one was doing it as long as they were working and not harassing random students that wouldn't benefit the lounge in some way-).

But that name stuck in his mind as he returned to his office.

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Jade Leech

Jade is intrigued to an extent but it's nothing special.

Even if they are not common, they are still merpeople. Right?

Jade is far too captivated by the land (though he denies it) to be captivated by something that is so similar to his homeland.

He speaks politely to [Name] and teases him along with Floyd.

But this is normal tweel behavior and not because [Name] is a shrimp merman. Jade doesn't really care about that.

What matters to Jade is [Name]'s interest.

He will be happy if the other boy expresses interest in his club.

Jade's interests are intense and specific.

Something will need to fit into them to have his full attention.

Otherwise, he only focuses on things that apply to "work."

Azul asks him to research so many things.

Being a Vice Housewarden is tiring, you know!

As he gets more comfortable he may mention these sentiments to [Name] but it's unclear if those are real or crocodile tears.

Jade is forever shrouded in mystery as someone very guarded.

"Floyd-senpai called me a snack in the potentially cannibalistic way today," [Name] told Jade as he walked up to him wearing the best kind of outdoor clothes he could muster from his closet (which ended up being PE clothes).

"Oya?" Jade offered, feigning a worried expression for a moment before posing a question, "And what did you say to my brother?"

[Name] shrugged.

"I said I had to meet you for a hike and left," he told Jade, "I was already running late. Sorry about that!"

He laughed slightly, unsure if Jade would be upset or not. They weren't super close friends. [Name] asked Jade if he knew anything about the local flora on the island and Jade had gone on a twenty-minute rant about a local variety of mushrooms. Now they were going on a hike in the mountains near campus to explore.

[Name] didn't know what to expect but Jade was often polite and didn't call him "shrimp" (derogatory) and "snack" (cannibalistic) all the time like his unpredictable brother so this would be alright. Or [Name] thought it would be. Jade wasn't as startling as Floyd was.

The only time that Jade had startled him was when they first met and Jade seemed to know everything about him from age to hobbies. It wasn't the kind of information he was used to people knowing.

Still, it was less scary than Floyd. So he moved on.

Was that a mistake? Maybe.

But now they were on this hike.

"So, senpai," [Name] offered, "Do you do this often?"

It was a genuine question. [Name] had little experience hiking as he lived under the sea until land camp and now school and Night Raven.

"Hiking? I like to," Jade told him, "It's a part of my club at school."

"Your club? One you made?"

[Name] had not heard of this before.

"Something like that. I run the Mountain Lovers Club."

As Jade said the name, [Name] could have sworn he sparkled.

"Mountain lovers... So you must really like mountains?" he asked.

Jade nodded slightly with a grin.

"Something like that, it is more of an appreciation for what nature has to offer us," he explained, leading [Name] along the trail.

Seeing him like this, [Name] wondered what else about this strange island he could learn from Jade-senpai and if this was what Jade was truly like. He seemed much happier and chattier in his club uniform and out walking in the mountains.

Or maybe that was just [Name]'s imagination.

"Senpai! Wait for me!"

✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ:

Floyd Leech

Floyd thinks it's funny that [Name] is a shrimp.

They meet at the lounge when Floyd decides "This one looks fun."

He discusses with the Prefect about changing his nicknames around since [Name] is much more a shrimp than Yuu is.

This is a first in Floyd's history. Jade is impressed.

Floyd teases and makes fun of [Name].

Sometimes he will bite them just to scare them, not hard enough to leave a mark or draw blood but enough to startle them.

His excuse is always that he seemed "tasty" looking.

He gets into mock fights with Jade over [Name].

Sometimes the fights become actual scuffles when Floyd decides, "No, actually I do care that you're too close to Shrimpy."

Floyd is so unpredictable it's hard to say if he likes [Name], wants to eat him, or is just messing with everyone.

If [Name] wants to romance this eel, he will have to try harder to get his attention. Floyd can be a little dense at times.

Chaos does that to people.

Floyd is having fun with Shrimpy.

[Name] wasn't sure how it happened. It all happened so quickly. he had just wanted to buy something from the lounge that his dorm apparently ran and now there was a tall teal-haired boy attached to him and not letting go. What was happening? He was so lost.

The whole school was big and he was new! He barely remembered things from orientation and now there was this... this guy! All he wanted was to have a nice drink or a snack at this lounge. That was it. Was he asking for too much? Honestly! Maybe!

"Um... Can you let me go?" the shrimpmer asked, trying to break free and failing once more, "I need to find a table if I can."

He also would like to be able to move freely again.

The toothy smile on the teal-haired boy's face drooped slightly as he pouted at [Name] and whined in an albeit childish way.

"You're no fun! I just wanted to come investigate," the boy told [Name], "You seem like you're merfolk, you know."

[Name]'s face flushed. He had been doing a good job at being human, he thought? Was he not being land-y enough? He was doing exactly what they were taught at camp.

"How did you know?" he asked him.

"You seem like one," was all the boy said.

That didn't answer his question but [Name] didn't want to press for more information, especially in the position that he was in.

He sighed as he gave up struggling against him.

"I'm [Name]. And I'm a shrimp merman... Though I'm still not sure how you knew that," [Name] introduced himself as best he could.

The boy's eyes sparkled to the point [Name] was a bit unnerved.

"Ooh! I'm gonna call you Shrimpy instead of Shrimpy... But then what will I call them instead? Huhh..."

He seemed to think about it and [Name] wondered who the original "Shrimpy" might have been and why they were called that to begin with. Were they shrimp merfolk too? It didn't add up.

"And you are?" [Name] asked after a moment of silence between them, still in the boy's arms even though his grip had loosened.

"Floyd Leech," he said with another grin, still refusing to let go completely.

"Nice to meet you then..." [Name] told him.

Would he really be able to get away from this Floyd guy?

Okay, so I'm working on my ACOWAR posts at the same time as the ACOMAF ones are rolling out, and ngl, I'm getting the wires crossed about what events happen in which book sometimes. The main story beats really are very similar between the two.

Like, they both start with some shenanigans in the Spring Court. Then, we get transported to the Night Court for some sort of Big Reveal about how wonderful Velaris is (for Feyre in MAF, Lucien in WAR). Then, we have a chapter or two of long and pointless conversations with the IC which are mostly meant to show off what an "awesome" found family they are, as well as things to "prove" what a Good Person Rhys allegedly is.

Then, we go see the Bone Carver for dubious and largely pointless reasons. There's faffing about as we see more of the dynamic with the IC, and/or Feyre's sisters (via their first visit to their house in MAF, and via their presence in Velaris in WAR). There's a sudden random attack from a Hybern minion (Attor at the sisters' house in MAF, the ravens in the library in WAR). WAR's visit to Hewn City also happens around this time (it happens much later in MAF).

Then, Summer Court time! For the book heist in MAF, and the attack in WAR. Then, diplomatic disasters ahead as we face the prospect of the meeting with the queens in MAF, and the High Lord meeting in WAR. Where the entire premise of the NC's diplomacy seems to hinge on "show them Velaris to 'prove' we're really good, that'll fix 500 years of deliberate lies about being evil." And that's about where I'm up to in WAR at present.

All throughout this, we get random scenes/summaries of Amren researching something to do with spells/old books (alone in MAF, with Nesta in WAR, but largely off-page regardless), and of Feyre training with one or the other of the bat boys.

Like.... legit just recycling the same plot with a few details tweaked to give the impression of continuity. There's a couple of times when I've been replying to comments on MAF posts and been like "wait, hold up, that specific thing doesn't happen until WAR." And I mean, most of us have read all the books anyway, so it doesn't *really* matter, but still. It's actually insane how well the MAF posts have been lining up with whatever chapter I was on in WAR.

A few things we learn about Malleus in Platinum Jacket:

He has had many, many tutors over the years who were brought from all over so he would receive only the finest education. He's a genius however, and whatever they taught him he could do better. He would get angry because he thought they were teaching him basics because they were looking down on him and would throw tantrums so terrible he would accidentally raze his grandma's garden with forest fires. Each and every one of his tutors end up packing their bags and resigning in fear of him. 😭 He'd get severely scolded by Lilia because of this.

Deuce comments that while Hades looks terrifying, his minions look goofy in comparison. Malleus tells him to never judge people based on appearances, as they'd never have been painted if they weren't competent. He also likens these minions to his bodyguards and shares how proud he'd be if they were to be lauded by the world and the succeeding generations in the future. (PROUD BIG BRO MOMENT)

He confirms that Briar Kingdom royalty choose their retainers at a certain age, which we can alreaddy conclude by the way he employed his goofy teenage knights and his mom chose the most radical/problematic generals back then.

He doesn't appreciate the servants in his castle waiting on him hand and foot. It's protocol so he can hardly do anything about it, but he was relieved when he enrolled at Night Raven and had to do everything himself.

Lilia instilled in him from a very young age that a person is nothing if they can't properly take care of themselves. He couldn't do this in the castle though, so he instead reads plenty of books on how to do household chores and whatnot. He's delighted to be able to put this knowledge to practical use at NRC.

He does mundane things like shopping and laundry by himself, until Sebek enrolled and tries to steal all his tasks lol. Although he's visibly disappointed, he lets Sebek do what he wants.

He actually knows how to use the washing machine and dryer but only after so many tries and difficulties.

He once washed his clothes in the kitchen sink and got caught doing it. His dormmates offered to do it instead (because he's their god lmao) but he refused because as he said, he likes to exert his own effort for things.

He is a good art critique and appreciates all kinds of art, though his favorite are sculptures. He likes to see the wears and tears of things over the years. He likes to see proof that things lived their lives (even inanimate things!), and that changes and ageing are beautiful.

He once again repeats that he loves gargoyles.

Though he adores the thought of being happy amongst others, he hates it when people are visibly happy and he isn't.

Their reaction to you being an animal whisperer (Disney Villains)

Maleficent:

"If I see one more feather that isn't Diablo's, I'm going to kick you off the mountain."

She's aware that she's growing weak-willed when it comes to you. At this point, she doesn't even try to fight it anymore. The dark fairy isn't stupid; she's a powerful and ancient being, older than most living humans. She knows what trap she's fallen into, but she refuses to name it.

Now, the fact that you've managed to break through the barriers of her dark heart doesn't mean she'll let you do as you please in her domain! Yes, you have more freedom and no risk of being cursed like the rest of her minions, but damn it! You're ruining her reputation by luring all those animals to her dark domain. Only her precious raven is supposed to be allowed to fly freely because it's her henchman of Satan, and—where did you get a phoenix?!

Queen Grimhilde:

"I just need a little paw or some blood...don't be such a crybaby, you have other animals."

Let's be honest, she'll want your animals as ingredients, not guests. You should be thanking her for letting you stay in her castle, by her side, with all those noisy, dirty animals always around you. The least you could do was give her some ingredients for her alchemy!

She'll stick to her guns until you and Snow White team up and give her those puppy-dog eyes. That tactic didn't affect her when it was just her stepdaughter, but for some reason, everything changed with you; you were softening her heart even for the princess, and that was dangerous. Oh well, keep your stupid animals... for now.

Mary Sanderson:

"I can ask them to leave—" "No, no, I've never seen so many crows together in one area. The villagers are scared to death!"

Have I ever told you that you're unofficially considered part of the Sanderson coven? Well, you are now! Not only because you were Mary's partner, or because you didn't mind helping them with the boring tasks, or because you were good at keeping appearances and were the sisters' spy on the village.

But also because you were a source of chaos they never got tired of! Sure sometimes they used your animals as ingredients (witchcraft had its sacrifice and you had accepted it), but it was much funnier to see the town's mayor wet his pants because of having so many crows on his roof. You had your own kind of magic, and they all loved it.

Claudine Frollo:

"Madam, the pigeons are invading the cathedral." "It's God's will, we mustn't interfere."

To be honest, at first it bothered her; she couldn't take two steps without a squirrel darting between her feet or a pigeon landing on the window. She tried to get you to stop, but it seemed like even you didn't know how; the animals just came up to you, whether you liked it or not.

Then, people started whispering about witchcraft, and she knew she had to act. Whether she liked the animals or not, she couldn't risk you ending up burned at the stake. So she did what she did best: manipulate the narrative. She managed to convince people that you were so pure you were blessed, and that's why God's creatures paid homage to you. Ironically, it bordered on cult-like, of which she was the high priestess. It's funny how everything can change with the right words.

Mother Gothel:

"...I'm not even going to ask where you got a basilisk—Rapunzel, don't go near that thing!"

She thought her life couldn't get any more chaotic, and then you go and attract all sorts of creatures! Honestly, she only wanted a magic flower to keep her immortal and young, was that too much to ask for?! Sure, your stupid animals were benign most of the time (except for, you know, the bailisk), and had never caused any trouble, but honestly, use your head, will you?! You two had a baby, for heaven's sake! 

No, it wasn't that she was worried about the child, it was that she couldn't risk losing her flower again...at least that's what she kept telling herself, but hey, she was the one holding the princess protectively against her chest, so (don’t mention it tho, she’d be mad at you for a week).

Iracebeth of Crims:

"Is that a dragon egg?! No! Even better, a Jabberwocky egg!"

She gets excited. Like, really, really excited. You’ve never seen her that happy since…ever. Not even when Mirana gave her back her castle as a peace offering. But it makes sense to you, because you’re the one who has gotten to know her, the real her, the girl that hid behind the red queen’s mask to protect herself from the world. 

You know Iracebeth really did love animals and creatures, but the bullying she suffered since childhood because of the head injury had turned what was once love into something more twisted and controlling. Maybe you can change that and give her a second chance with that gift of yours. You can teach the animals to trust her once again, and she promises she won't use this new Jabber-baby-wocky to terrorize anyone!

Hades:

"Another one? Babe, you know I adore you, but you're making Cerbie feel displaced."

In reality, he's the one who feels replaced with so many animals in your arms. Sure he thought it was awesome how much life you could bring to his realm, and has bragged about it to Zeus once or twice, but it was starting to become a problem, especially when he tries to cuddle with you, only to be pecked by a peacock (he swears Hera is laughing in some corner of Olympus every time that happens).

Now, just because he’s a drama king, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s lying. Cerberus does feel jealous of the animals, because let’s be honest, it’s unfair he can’t cuddle in your lap due to his size, and you’re rubbing it in his puppy face! Even Pain and Panic feel a little ignored, so you'd better start learning to balance your gift.

After of think it for a while, I’ve come up with the next characterizations If this characters appears in RWBY Chibi:

- Ironwood would be a parody of a Military Man, Grumpy with Short-tempered and extremely paranoid, always tries to be careful about that the birds don’t be spy cameras or dangerous things like that.

- Salem would be a Calm and Old-fashioned women who talk very very VERY slowly, and that have a tense divorced relationship with Ozpin, always discussing things like how they never do a proper separation of property, about how Ozpin still sends people to kill her babies or how he supposedly paid her less than she deserve for her voice work on his stupid documentary videos about Remnant, and a looong etc.

- Adam would be a cartoonish bipolar sociopath that always tries to look cold, mysterious and cool but that can’t just let go Blake, so while he doesn't be busy having violent outbursts and boost his ego, is planning forms to win her back and beat him """"Rivals""""

- Hazel would be a stoic man that only talks with small and simple phrases, whose only purpose is to hit random people or complain about how Nobody thinks about the children!!!!!

I also like to think that it will be some shorts about him being the paternal figure that Emerald and Mercury really need.

- Arthur would be a dick who don’t even bothers in learn the names of the people, that always act fancy and professional except when he has to work in some invent, so he starts to act like the typical crazy scientist like Frankenstein or Doofenshmirtz, which creations always end up failing or just exploding.

Besides, I have a headcanon about how all the crazy machines that Roman uses in the series are actually Arthur’s creations but how he is forced to help Cinder and her minions in wherever they need, he has to make everything they ask for, no matter how stupid it will be.

- Tyrian would be a cartoonish psychopath who usually does creepy innuendos and disturbed even his own allies (except Arthur, who he considered his bestie and who usually tries to control his behavior) (And poor talking grimms, they will be his principal toys), and that acts more like an animal than a person and sees Salem like a "Dark Mother Figure".

- The Ace Ops would be the typical dumb and crazy polices, you know, like in Police Academy or Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But also, I like to think that Clover could have the role of being the only normal person in this world of insane cartoonish people, and that for some weird and unexplainted reason everyone thinks he is in a relationship with Qrow 🤔🤷‍♀️🤭

- Raven would be a tsundere and a classic neglected mother, always acting cold and distant with Taiyang and Yang but if someone shows affection to them or they show more appreciation for other figures, she activates her territorial instinct.

Fun Fact: Paula Decanini, RWBY Chibi’ Director, said in a Reddit AMA in 2018 that it was a big possibility to see Raven in RWBY Chibi some day.

- Maria would be the cool and extreme grandmother that usually accompanies the kids in their mischiefs or even be the one who puts them in zany situations while she mocks the other authority figures for being too soft.

- With Ilia, I think she would have a similar role and jokes like Pyrrha, trying to get Blake’s attention while she simply doesn't get it. And with Oscar, it will be a recurrent joke about how he is always close to Ozpin and even acting strangely similar to him, or he simply has a lot of bad luck.
