Hii :3
Idk if you write platonic requests but I shall try anyway. Could I request Baul (or Baur, whichever you came to know) with a half-fae reader whom he had adopted as his second child (because reader is an orphan). Reader is the same age as Sebek and they act a lot like him: they dislike humans, they yell a lot, they are angry and grumpy often. But the difference is they are so easily angered and when they are angry, they tend to get violent (they can't really control their anger well). Even as a child they frequently attacked other kids or even adults who weren't nice to them.
(Lmk if you don't do platonic stuff, then I shall get back with a romantic one)
Baul adopting a half fae
Baul Zigvolt had never planned to take in another child. He already had grandchildren to oversee,Sebek especially kept him busy with all the yelling and the dramatics. But when he first saw you, scowling, fists clenched, and standing your ground in front of an adult twice your size,your expression wild with fury and hurt,it stirred something in him.
You were small. Feral. Full of rage.
And so, of course, he took you in.
You were nothing short of a handful from day one.
You yelled too loud, stomped too hard, and argued like the world owed you an apology. You had sharp teeth, sharper eyes, and a complete lack of respect for anyone who didn’t earn it.Sebek and you often yelled at each other across rooms over the proper tone of reverence to use when mentioning Lord Malleus. You fought over everything,breakfast rights, patrol orders, Fae etiquette and yet, you were rarely apart for long.
Still, Baul noticed what others didn’t.
How your fists trembled when you were angry. How your ears twitched in fear even as you raised your voice. How, after every burst of violence, you’d retreat somewhere quiet to be alone,like you were punishing yourself for something you didn’t yet understand.
It was after one such explosion,this time over a nobleman who had insulted your parentagethat Baul found you sitting under the willow tree outside the estate. Arms wrapped around your knees. Eyes dark and distant.
He approached silently, but you didn’t look up.
“They say I’m uncontrollable,” you muttered. “A disgrace. That I don’t belong among the Fae. That I'm nothing but a weapon.”
Baul sat down beside you with a slow, deliberate grace. “Are you done sulking?”
You glared. “I'm not sulking. I’m..thinking.”
“Hm.” He crossed his arms. “You always think like thunder before the storm. Loud. Flashy. Angry. But no rain to water the earth.”
You stared at him, confused and annoyed. “What’s that even supposed to mean?”
“It means,” he said with a grunt, “you burn everything around you without thinking about what you want to grow afterward. You use your rage like a blade, but you never use it to protect. Only to push people away.”
That made something inside you twist. “Because if I don’t, they’ll hurt me first.”
Baul didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he shifted closer and, in a rare moment of quiet affection, placed a heavy, weathered hand on your head. “You are my child. You don’t need to fight alone anymore. If someone raises their hand against you without cause, they will answer to me.”
Your breath hitched. “You… still want me here?”
“I would not have taken you into this home if I hadn’t already made that decision,” he said firmly. “I will not abandon you because you’re difficult. You are half-fae, yes. You are wild and angry, yes. But you are mine. And like Sebek, I expect you to grow into your strength, not be ruled by it.”
And Baul, gruff as ever, said:
“Because I do not abandon my own. Not even when they make me want to throw them into a river.”
…Which, from him, was basically love.
Even if you didn’t always say it, he was your family. Your stone wall. Your anchor. He never smiled, but you swore that sometimes, just sometimes, the corner of his mouth would twitch when you sparred well, or when you and Sebek accidentally shouted in perfect harmony.
Two storms, under one roof.
And Baul Zigvolt?
He didn’t run from storms.
He raised them.
English is not my first language !
I Cracked Sebeks place in the Diasomnia family
Sebek to rest of the diafam is that one cousin that is more your sibling than cousin , like yes technically he has his own family and is their cousin but if you say that they would be like no , he is our brother ?? Take back that nonsense at once. ( if they were honest for once with their feelings) Sometimes all of them forget he has his own family . Silver has the same exact position on the Zigvolts . Because there is no may Mr. Zigvolt or Ms. Zigvolt just left baby Silver with his dad who thought his baby would just come back after he crawled away , like no we are co-parenting now . like Lilia is giving his best but his best isn't that great , still a good dad but he needs help. That Man and Mal are the reasons Silver grew up relatively healthy. They would have went that boy is ours too now ( no Lilia bashing but his cooking is deadly)
To Lilia he is one of his boys, he isn't the legal parent of Mal either, and yes he isn't Sebeks dad but that is his boy , he may have good parents but hey they can share. They already do .That is the boy he saw grow up and a constant in his home , he is his teacher , mentor and adult responsible for him . Thats not his son but one of his kids.
To Silver , he is a core part of his family , what you mean he isn't ? Thats his little bro from another father/mother , his best friend he has know him for all of his life , when he thinks family he thinks the dia4. The Zigvolts have pictures of Silver with the rest of the kids at their house change my mind . It isn't even a question for him Sebek is family thats it.
To Malleus he is one the little kids that he saw grow up , he may have not held him as a baby but as a toddler , he may be obsessed with him , but Silver is obsessed with mushroom risotto and he is with gargoyles thats just how Sebek is , thats his littlest guy . His little guy who cried bc he couldn't do magic. Yes he might be annoying sometimes but everyone in this family is sometimes thats normal . Mal is that one sibling with a huge age gap who basically raised his little siblings . If Lilia and Silver are his family so is Sebek . He will protect Sebek with his life , he chose those two as knights not because of their strength but because of their hearts, they will never be afraid of telling the truth to him ( or so he thinks) And with them close he can protect them .
AND Sebek is still like ah yes my cousin/sibling and his emotionally foolish family thank 7 I am the normal one in this family and not a part of it he is in denial as he is SEBEK ( need I explain more ?)
I can't help but think half of Silver's childhood involved Sebek's family saying "no Lilia" over and over.
"Who needs a bottle? A mug will do!" "Lilia no."
"Oh, baby Silver needs a bath, I'll give him some privacy even though he can barely hold his head up." "Lilia, no!"
"Oh, wants to work the stove alone at 5 yrs old? Well, indepence is a good thing!" "Lilia, no."
"Welp, he's old enough to start training! Here's a real sword to practice with." "No, Lilia!"
"Welp! I'm off to travel for weeks on end! Take of the house all alone in the middle of the woods full of bears and wolves!" "Dammit, Lilia! Will you read the parenting book already?!
This is how Sebek’s Father probably met his mother.
Egophiliac is a goddamn genius and this just so happens to be one of my favorite dub channels. 😆😆
I love how it's the general consensus that Sebek's mom was a lot taller than his dad. That's her little dental dude and she will carry him like a purse dog for the rest of his natural life.
Headcannon collection #7
Fun fact: Crocodiles sometimes give each other piggy back rides……..
I don’t think I need to explain this one
Old sketches of Sebek’s parents! I was heavily inspired by egophiliac’s design for his parents and how his dad (being human) looks more like Sebek and his mom (the fae) is not at all green ꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹ though now that Sebek’s grandfather had been revealed I might do a bit of a redesign or adjusting when it comes to both their designs
A few more notes and headcanons under cut!
I am sorta kind working on that “Sebek’s childhood to current day” fic and have spent way too much time thinking of names for the unnamed offscreen family members.
At least, Part 2 of this chore. I already spent way too much time coming up with names for Sebek’s parents back in April. I didn’t spend near as much time this morning coming up with names for his siblings.
Last time I tried working in the prologue, I had to go back and reread Lilia’s dorm vignette and that meant scrapping my first two attempts at this.* Now that I have fixed this in my head to be canon compliant …
hopefully canon compliant; I am an EN player relying mostly on vignettes for cards I have either a little help from twst wiki and youtube translations…
I have added a few more words to it. Current word count, not including notes and vignette references and reasons for the names I came up with, is 576.
(*Maybe some day I will do a little bitty series for this fic with my little bitty deleted scenes?)
I am also shoving head canons galore into this but I just love the idea of Sebek’s brother and Ace’s brother being classmates at NRC at the same time. This is only taken into consideration as I decided what ages to make Sebek’s older siblings. Old enough to have a bit of a generation gap (half a generation gap) but not so old that I can’t have this exist as a possibility.
Ace’s brother will never come up in the story; I just need that head canon to be supported.
