"Prefect wake up!"
"Miko-chan, someone's looking for you~."
"who?"

idk if i mentioned it here before but for the longest time i have been thinking about how miko and riddle somewhat have a similar upbringing so that made me think "what if miko also had her own rebel dream version" i think in this version her biological father never left her mother so she grew up in japan instead of france. also random miko funfact her mom used to be a gyaru soooooooooo you can say it runs in the blood????????

"Fulfilling my end of the Deal"
The sound of footsteps echoed inside Octavinelle's hallway, as Azul was the only figure in sight. It was late at night, everyone is probably and should be asleep at this hour but his housewarden duties simply took a hold of him once more.
He was tired — sevens know how dire his need for sleep was — and yet he couldn't. The silence was far from comforting. He hated nights like this, as they invited unwanted thoughts and memories into one's mind. And such memories did like to haunt him at night.
The memories of how Yumiko got to work inside the Mostro Lounge and the contents of their contract came back to haunt Azul once more. Her time working there was surprisingly short-lived. Why wouldn't it be? She hates working here. She despises me — of course she does. Why wouldn't she? Azul thought once more.
⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅
"I believe things are going well with you and the prefect?" Jade took a sip from his teacup.
Azul paused, taken aback, before going back to sorting his paperwork once more. "Of course. I believe she will be working here in no time."
"Oh my." Jade laughed under his breath. "I just hope you won't get attached to her in the process."
"That's nonsense, Jade." Azul scoffed. "Don't mistake me for a fool getting attached to a mere magicless human being."
"Of course not. I wouldn't dare impose such a thing," Jade said in his usual condescending tone.
"She is alone in this world, with no family to run to, with phenomenal cooking skills that are out of this world, that mind you, she does not even know she possesses. Who knew sitting alone at the beach would get her to open up that easily." Azul rambled on about the prefect to his confidant while Jade seemed delighted to hear how things were progressing.
"Just a few more days and everything will fall according to plan." The sound of a muffled gasp and porcelain shattering on the floor interrupted Azul's speech. His stomach dropped as he saw Yumiko standing right there at his office doorframe, tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh, I didn't expect we would have a visitor today. It seems I forgot to close the door earlier." Jade excused himself, this time shutting the door behind him on his way out.
The silence between them felt like forever as his eyes widened.
"How long have you been…"
"Long enough," she gritted her teeth,hands balling into a fist, trying to hold onto whatever composure she had left. "Long enough to know that everything about us was a lie."
Azul quickly stood up from his chair. "Yumiko, No. You've got it all wrong…"
"Don't talk your way out of this, Ashengrotto. I heard it loud and clear." This was one thing Yumiko hated the most — her own feelings betraying her. She paused as tears finally began to fall. “Je n'arrive pas à croire que je t'ai fait confiance…” “I thought you were different."
A quiet sob escaped her lips. "I thought you had changed." She paused.
"Am I truly nothing but an asset to you?"
His hand reached for her. He wanted to reach her, he wanted to close the distance and yet his pride held him in place, leaving him standing behind his desk. Azul Ashengrotto, housewarden of Octavinelle, the man known for his perfect choice of words, found himself mumbling incoherently, desperately trying to say something, anything, to fix this. And yet the right words simply wouldn't come out of his mouth.
As Azul fumbled for words, Yumiko looked down at the shattered pieces on the floor before wiping her tears. "Give me the total amount."
"What…" He was taken aback as she walked toward him.
"Since you seem to know me well enough and this is all part of your plan, fine." She picked up the pen from his desk. "You should know me well enough to know that I hate being indebted. Give me the contract."
"You don't have to. Please, Yumiko…" Before he could stop her, she had already finished drafting a contract using a blank one from his table.
"I will work here until my debt is repaid." She paused once more to wipe her tears for the last time, as she then signed her name on the paper.
"Mais après ça…" she gathered what was left of her composure, looking down at the man in front of her. "I never want to see your face again."
⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅⋯⋅
It has been officially one month since Yumiko fulfilled her end of the deal, it's been officially one month since Azul poured his heart out inside his office, and one month since he got it broken. He, out of all people, knows about the importance of fulfilling their end of the deal. As much as it hurts, he is honoring their deal the same way as she did. That is to say “she does not want to see his face again” but that does not mean he could never see her from afar.
He wants to hate her for what she did, for taking his only beating heart away and smashing it to pieces as if it were nothing. He wants to feel things and do something, but he couldn’t. He couldn’t bring himself to hate her the same way she hated him.
His thoughts came to an abrupt end as a giant shadow loomed over his figure. As if fate could not toy with his feelings enough, a giant phantom jellyfish came floating by their dorm’s aquarium. He stood by the glass, close enough to see the creature a lot clearer but not close enough to touch the glass. He found some odd sense of melancholy seeing such a magnificent rare creature. Sometimes he wonders if it would be a lot easier if he was just a jellyfish, if it would be a lot easier if he was just like her. Heartless and unable to feel pain.
Oh what a foolish man he truly has been.
me and my "totally not a cat" son
She meant in a fight i fear
can we please learn more or see more of florence!!!!
Fun facts about Florence Furstin! (Take a shot everytime i say neige)
Her birthday is on April 27!
She is very fond of animals and believes she can communicate with them!
Her favorite animals are horses, and she has one of her own.
She tends to freeze when new people randomly start talking to her.
She also got mistaken for a guy multiple times; there are also times she would not bother correcting them due to her shy nature.
Unironically believes in love at first sight, soulmates, and true love.
She can play the piano and flute.
She prefers movies over tv shows.
Her father is one of the top directors in Shaftlands, while her mother is an A-list actress.
Her old family home is super close to where Neige and his brothers live which resulted in their friendship.
Her dad gave neige his first ever major acting role which sparked his career.
Although coming from a celebrity family, she expresses 0 interest in joining the industry.
Her mother sadly passed away when Florence was only 8
Due to grief, she and her father moved to Sunset Savannah away from the limelight.
She did not get to say goodbye to neige.
To make up for this she keeps up with every news and article posted about him.
She is also the first ever member in eternal snow official fanclub and often writes neige fanletters under the alias "mr.prince"
Despite having the money and means to it, she does not attend any live Neige Meet and Greet.
during this time she was homeschooled until they moved back to shaftlands again.
It took a while for her to adjust her new life at RSA.
During her second year it was such a surprise for her to see Neige again not to mention they are on the same dorm.
"Hello florence!! it's so nice to see you again! Its been a while since we've talked on paper :DDD" - neige
Yes Neige knew the entire time Florence is "Mr.Prince"
Florence.exe stopped working.
Fast forward to her third year, she got assigned as their dorm's vice housewarden while Neige as their housewarden!
She is also the captain for RSA's Equestrian club! Bonus: Florence Moodboard!
Gosh they are so inlove ong they are melting me with their cuteness....
Azul Ashengrotto Thoughts
I am too deep in the rot so here are some thoughts I’ve had about Azul. Warning: they’re long.
• Azul’s unique magic, It’s a Deal, has the ability to take anyone’s magic and skills. But we see that some abilities have many drawbacks, like Jade’s unique magic, or still a little weak, like the magic of some first years. So here’s a question I am thinking of: say Jade’s unique magic has the limitations of not being able to use his magic on someone more than once and being resisted by people with strong magical resistance or overly calculated minds, if Azul would take Jade’s unique magic, due to the magical power difference between the two of them, would Azul be able to bypass some of the limitations (he can use Shock the Heart on the same person more than once, he can make people with strong magic say the truth) that was imposed on the original user or is he forced to follow the limitations set? Because if Azul can bypass the limitations that one had to experience, that makes his unique magic very dangerous. It’s enough that he can take it so easily, but to also be able to wield it so much better because he has so much magic power? That’s powerful.
• Speaking of unique magic, there is a theory that the unique magic of a user is based on one’s personality or one’s particular experience in their life. And I am bringing this up for the next bullet point:
• Has anyone realized that Azul’s unique magic rewrites the genetic code of a person? Think about it. Azul can take away not only one’s magic but also one’s physical traits, such as changing someone’s tail (as seen in his flashback) or taking someone’s voice. Magic also seems to be something one is born with in this universe (or else we’d be hearing about people going to some place to get magic wheeze). So if Azul can take away and give back such abilities and traits, he is essentially rewriting one’s genes so they can accommodate with the loss of a trait or ability, and the same may go for giving it back. If one’s unique magic is truly based on one’s personality or experiences, there are two details about Azul that his UM gives:
Azul wants power over his peers. This one is already kind of a given, but I’m throwing this in anyway. When Azul was a child, he was bad at academics, he was (and still is) a slow swimmer, he continuously spat out ink, and he was picked on for those things. As a way of getting back on his bullies, Azul wants them to feel the same way he felt: to have nothing, to be left with nothing. By stealing their most precious ability, they can somehow feel what he felt when he was bullied.
Azul wants to change his species. By having a unique magic that rewrites someone’s genetic code, this can imply Azul’s desire to rewrite his own genes so he may change his species. He’s insecure about his true form, after all, having been bullied for it. This desire for a change in species is also seen in his flashback, when Jade and Floyd first found his octopus pot and Jade points out some of the magic spells written on the pot, one of which is a spell that can change one’s species.
• I find it bemusing whenever I see people depict Azul not wanting to eat anything healthy and it would need the reader or twins to get him to eat something healthy, when we see Azul willingly order a salad for lunch in chapter 3-7. If anything, he can eat healthy, but it’s mainly for dietary purposes. I think you would need to struggle more to get him to eat unhealthy foods since he’s so insistent on maintaining a moderate calorie intake so he doesn’t get fat 😂 (ngl though, that hard work paid off, Azul has such a sexy waist 😳😳😳).
• Lots of female Azul artworks depict her having quite the chest, and I understand that given Ursula’s voluptuous body. Personally, though, I kinda see her having a chest binder if she has a huge bust size because I think she might feel that a large chest makes her look a little fatter. On a side note, ma’am Azul is hot af no matter what and knows how to get me weak on the knees. 😳
• In the Octavinelle CM, in the beginning where the trio are in the VIP room, it’s noted that Azul has his coat and hat removed. His coat is the main thing that signifies his position as dorm head, as we don’t see any of the other Octavinelle students walking around and about with a coat on their shoulders. In one of Azul’s dorm SSR lines, he states that whenever he puts on his dorm uniform, people show him more respect. But alone in the room with Floyd and Jade, he shrugs off the coat and the hat. I like to think that Azul can remove his coat because around the twins, he doesn’t have to act as a leader around them. We know how much Azul wants power, and wearing that coat gives him that power over his peers, but around the twins, he can somehow be himself, no need for any power differences between them.
• I think some people have pointed it out, but the same CM seems to suggest that Azul’s overblot was not due to the loss of contracts, but due to the loss of Floyd and Jade, and this could be seen in the actual story. Yes, losing the contracts has deeply affected his mental state, but what exactly happened right before his OB? It’s Floyd remarking how lame Azul looks and Jade chiding him that this is not how the procedure of taking magic should go. Jade and Floyd are the two people who have stuck with Azul for the longest time, and while they will say they would leave him if he gets boring, it’s clear that the trio have a lot of trust in each other. When they came back to him going crazy, Azul begs them to hand to him their unique abilities, hoping that they side with him. But they don’t, and Floyd even calls him lame which is something you should never call anybody as when they are having a mental breakdown. And in that moment, Azul feels truly alone. His weaknesses are exposed and not even his closest friends are going to help him. It’s a nod to the original movie, in which Ursula accidentally kills her beloved eels and laments about them. But instead of losing the twins through death, Azul loses them, or rather, he fears losing them, if they were to leave him.
• Azul does not like relying on luck, and I’ve been contemplating on a reason why. But right now, I like to think his dislike on reliance of luck is stemmed from the fact he was born a mer octopus, someone who looks different from everyone else. He never wanted to be an octopus, and he wasn’t born gifted in anything either. He wasn’t born lucky, he was just lucky to be born. He had no control over what species he will be upon birth, nor did he choose his parents. And it’s because he had no choice but to be an octopus that he hates having to rely on some invisible force since said invisible force decided “hey let’s make him an octopus and make him suffer uwu”. And once he finally has control over his bullies, he finds that the newfound power and control he possessed is really awesome and wants to keep it that way, and if he’s going to rely on luck to keep his power, he fears that luck will remove that power quickly like how it removed his chance of having a decent childhood and so would rather take matters into his own hands.
• Among the four overblots we’ve gotten so far, only three of them have spoken before the actual OB battle. Riddle yells off about a world where everyone follows his rule, Leona roars and threatens to kill everyone, and Jamil is soaking up on everyone calling him ‘Jamil-sama’. But Azul? Azul is silent. He said nothing before his battle. Okay, he says some lines during the battle, but they are not stated by a voice at all. It’s a neat little reference to Ariel losing her voice and being unable to make her feelings heard. But I think more than that, there is a much more emotional impact in Azul’s silence. One key trait of his is how talkative he is. In ghost marriage, Leona points out that Azul got slapped due to how talkative he is. Azul always has something to say. He knows how to persuade you, he knows what words to use to prod all your weaknesses, he knows how to sweet talk anybody. And we know how good he is at keeping up appearances, like how he makes his contracts seem invincible for example when they are only made up of paper. But in his overblot, he has nothing to say. His contracts are gone, the one thing that made him powerful, and now he is scared that he will become a weak stupid octopus again. And what is worse? His weaknesses are exposed. And his overblot being his octopus form is a physical manifestation of his inner fragility. And Azul can’t say anything because it’s true, he is not as strong as we would assume, and that truth is out for everyone to see, and he can no longer give any lie to prove otherwise.
Board game club cant be that serious bro
hi! i dunno if this is too specific but im currently working on sum oc lore and I have 2 characters that have a long standing "rivalry" if you will (they just cannot stand eachother), but im struggling to come up with a reason as to why their relationship is this way. do you have any ideas on why a rivalry / opposition may start?
Reasons for Rivalry/Opposition
pitted against one another by mentors, teachers, parents, …
competing for a position that only one can have
they used to be peers/friends but one advanced further and left the other behind, making them feel embarrassed and betrayed
animosity because of a crush they used to have on the same person
one was the best in their social circles but was hopelessly humiliated by the other and swore to beat them one day
a misunderstanding (careful to make it an actually complex misunderstanding if you go this route. a misunderstanding that could have been resolved with a simple conversation is bound to turn a lot of readers off)
getting off on the wrong foot and every time they meet they snap at each other, further intensifying their dislike with no real reason
someone else intentionally spreading lies about one of them
lingering animosity after a childish fight in their youth
Look at my lawyer bro im going to jail
