I’m currently going through the “Glorious Masquerade” event…
Tumblr media
…And every time I see Silver’s sprite, I can’t help but think he looks like a pouting kid, especially with his arms crossed and the shape of his eyes. It tricks my brain into seeing this kid with a perpetual frown like, ‘I don’t wanna be here.’
Tumblr media
But then I got curious and started looking at his other sprites…
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This poor boy has a bad case of resting bitch face. He doesn’t look sleepy, he looks like someone dragged him out of his room to talk to people he doesn’t like.
EXCEPT!
There’s one sprite where he’s not frowning.
Tumblr media
…So what does this mean, exactly?

Welcome Home - Imagine #1
What do you think happens to Wally after someone says his name and the camera cuts? Warning for spoilers and speculation.
Okay, what does that one look like?
Which one?
That one. There, see?
Hmm… Let me think…
Don’t think too long, Frank, or it’ll drift away.
Well I would say it most closely resembles... a fish. See how the cloud fans out like a tail fin at the end?
Oh yeah! I do see it. And that one there looks like a rabbit.
I don’t know about that. The neck looks far too long to belong to a rabbit. I’d say it looks more like a deer, or maybe a donkey.
No way, look at it. It’s even soft and fluffy like a little bunny-rabbit. And if it could talk right now, it’d be asking you for some of those carrots in your garden.
Well, as much fun as this has been, I really must get back to my errands.
Aw, can’t you stay a little longer?
No can do, I’m afraid. Unlike some of you, I can’t spend the entire day with my… head in the clouds.
Ha! Fine, you can go free just for that line alone. See ya later, Frank!
Take care, you two.
Bye! Hey, does that cloud look like anything to you, Wally?
You waited for a response.
“Wally?”
Absolute silence.
Confused, you sat up from the grass and looked over to your friend. Maybe he just fell asleep? It makes sense, the sun’s out and there’s a slight breeze; it’s the perfect weather for a nice afternoon nap. That idea is shut down when you see him staring up at the clouds.
But rather than the lazy, half-lidded gaze you’ve come to expect from Wally, his eyes are pulled wide open, practically shaking in his sockets. In fact, it’s the only part of him that’s moving at all. If you didn’t know any better, you’d think he was-
“Wally!”
You wave a hand in front of him, and he finally blinks back. His brow crinkles together in confusion, but at least he doesn’t have that manic stare anymore.
“Where did Frank go?” He asks, sitting up and looking around the now empty hills.
“He just left. Didn’t you hear him say goodbye?” Didn’t he hear that clever joke about the clouds? The answer to both your questions is a slow shake of his head. How long was he just looking like that?
“Is everything okay, Wally?” Now might not be the best time to ask, and the answer might not be a good one, but you feel like you have to. He stays quiet, mouth curled into what you would say is the worst smile he’s ever made; it’s the first time you’ve seen him make such a face.
“I don’t know.” The words come out slowly and quietly, and he keeps his eyes down to the ground. Like a child too afraid to look their parents in the eye. “I haven’t been feeling like myself.”
“What do you mean? Are you sick or something?” Even the birds and wind have gone silent, waiting for a response. If you had known he wasn’t feeling up for it, you never would’ve dragged Wally outside in the first place.
“No, that’s not it. It feels like…” He drags his knees up to his chest, one hand gripping the grass. “I don’t know what it feels like. I’m sorry.”
It’s not out of the ordinary for Wally to get a little absentminded, but this is different. Part of you wants to scoop him up in your arms and hold him until that look goes away. Instead, you take his hand in yours and give him a soft squeeze.
“You don’t have to apologize, you didn’t do anything wrong. And if you start to feel that way again, you can always come talk to me.” You duck down so he can get a good look at you. Even if you don’t know whatever that was, you can at least help him feel better afterwards. “Is that okay, Wally?”
He squeezes your hand back and gives a smile. Small and unsteady, but there all the same. “Okay. I’ll tell you when it happens again.”
When. Not if. You'll try not to dwell on his choice of words, at least no right now.
He lets go of your hand and stands up.
“I'm going home. Goodbye.”
He’s already walking away before you even get a word out. Without so much as a wave goodbye, he walks down to the dirt path and heads back the way you two came, getting smaller and smaller until he disappears from sight.
The sun’s still out, there’s a breeze in the air, and the clouds look like they’re about to go gray soon.
“It looked like a flower a second ago.”

Hi.
It’s been while, nearly a year since the last piece of writing.
I’m not over Twisted Wonderland (just finished today’s Joint Exams, as a matter of fact), I just fell down the Pokemon Subway Masters rabbit hole and have made a lovely den with a cozy fireplace and sofa.
I didn’t realize there was an overlap between the fandoms; if I had, I would’ve written this sooner.
There are still some Asks and pieces of writing I come back to, the ideas haven’t left me completely and I think that’s an indication that I want to keep writing about these Disney ikemen, but would you guys also be curious to see other fandoms and franchises? Not just SubMas, but any other characters or series that I get hooked on?
It’d be fun to try and get back into this blog, if you guys are still interested. Let me know if that’s something you’d like to write and hear about.
Final Note: I’ve seen Ingo and Emmet in the Octavinelle uniforms, but may I suggest the following:
Heartslabyul, Ignihyde, or even… Royal Sword Academy [pause for dramatic effect]. These two angels are strict, hardworking, and genuinely nice. Plus the idea of the Ignihyde students being put off by how strangely sociable Emmet and Ingo get makes me smile.

Hello! I encountered your voodoo fic and I just wanna say that I instantly fell in love with your writing!!! It made me internally squeal!! I saw your post of making another part with different characters so I'm looking forward to that! I'm wondering if u will be making a continuation of what the boys did after that? No rush! Take all the time you need and I hope u have a lovely day~!!!!! ♡♡♡
Haha, I’m very glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve gotten a couple requests for a couple characters, namely Floyd, Azul, and Riddle (I’ve written two of the three so far, so that’s good news).
As for what happens next, I might flip the script a little for future characters, or even go back to old ones to see how they’re faring. I absolutely believe Sam has a doll of (Name), but is he willing to part with it?

TWST HC #1
Who has two thumbs and has the same birthday as a pair of sociopathic eels?
Depending on who you ask, sharing your birth date with the Leech brothers is either a blessing, a curse, or some amalgamation of the two.
Somehow, some way, they will find out your birthday. Did you mention it to a classmate in passing? That’s great! They can tell Floyd all about it. You got an alert from Magicam? You also get a like from Jade! Really the only way to be sure they don’t know is to make sure no one knows. But then where’s the fun in that?
If and when these two find out you have the same birthday, look forward to having at least one of them glued to you every waking second. You’re sandwiched between the two of them during meals, walking to classes, and studying in the library. For any joint classes you have with the upperclassmen, expect Jade to immediately take the spot right next to you. Some of the students mention that he’s not even taking this class, but don’t worry. He’s memorized the coursework and is more than happy to help you in exchange for keeping him company. As for the rest of the school day, well… Deuce was more than a little confused when he came into class and saw Floyd in his seat, practically draped over you like an overly affectionate blanket.
Speaking of your classmates, any friendly chats and hangout time is going to be severely cut down for the day. Riddle had planned to gift you with some Trey-made sweets and a Happy Birthday, only to immediately retreat the second he saw Floyd playing with your hair - he’ll just leave the box on your doorstep with a card. Before Rook could emerge from his hiding spot and perform the poem he’d written for you, Jade all but pulled him out of hiding. Some of them put up a good fight, trying to wrestle you away from the twins, but it’s not long before Floyd’s pulling at your sleeve and asking for attention while Jade kindly sees them off.
Azul and the rest of Octavinelle prepared a huge birthday party for Floyd and Jade, and you’re coming too. To be fair, they were already planning to invite you, but now it’s mandatory. Floyd made it mandatory. They’ve put together an assortment of sweets, snacks, and drinks, all of which includes some of your favorites. How and why there’s such a comprehensive list of your favorites is something you’ll worry about another day. Hm, you want to bring your friends, too? That’s fine, but if they cause any trouble it’ll be at your expense, so pick your guests carefully.
Birthday gifts are a double-edged sword. Figuratively speaking; no one’s managed to acquire a literal one yet and thank the Seven for that. By the end of the day, you’ll have a present from each of the brothers. To no one’s surprise, Jade buys you that one thing you’ve been saving up week’s worth of money to buy. Depending on Floyd’s mood, he’ll either recall something you mentioned in passing and springboard off that for ideas, or he’ll re-gift you something he bought because it looked cute. So, what did you prepare for them?
FSHHHH~
CRACK
BOOM!
Colors and light ignited the sky for a split second before slowly fading into the dark of the night. You’d had a feeling Floyd was going to enjoy the idea of setting off fireworks, but Jade’s enthusiasm was an unexpected if not welcome revelation. At least you assume he’s enjoying the display, if the way his eyes remained trained on the sky is anything to go by.
“And you said this is part of a holiday where you come from?”
“Kind of,” you shrug, pausing to watch Floyd set off another and send it skyward, “It’s not something known worldwide, and even fewer people celebrate it. But some folks still do things like have bonfires and light fireworks.”
Another burst of sparks pepper the sky, leaving trails of embers as they go. Willows, if memory serves you correctly.
“In that case, would this not be considered a celebration of the holiday rather than our birthday.”
Maybe it’s because you’ve been around Jade for the whole day, but you can’t help but laugh.
“Are you saying you’re unhappy with my gift? And after all the trouble I went through to get these fireworks…”
Against your better judgment, you lean against him. Just a little. Enough to feel him move as he laughs.
“My apologies. I should know better than to turn down such a compassionate gift.”
“Hey, Jade! Koebi-chan!” you both look up just in time to see Floyd running up the steps to Ramshackle, “Did you see how big that last one was? Man, my ears are still ringing.”
He grins and grabs your arm, nearly pulling you off the ground as he starts walking back to the field.
“C’mon, there’s still a couple more left. Let’s set them off together.”
He doesn’t even wait for a response before dragging you off. Behind you, you can hear Jade laugh to himself, followed by the soft crunch of footsteps against hard dirt.
“So did you enjoy your present?”
“Yep!” Floyd nods his head, playfully swinging the hand holding you as he leads you to a single rocket stuck to the ground, with a wick trailing a foot behind, “The party was nice and all, but this is more exciting!”
With a quick flick, a small flame erupts from his pen, and hands the wick to you.
“Go ahead, Koebi-chan. Light the candle and make a wish.”
“I don’t think that’s how birthday wishes work,” you chuckle before holding the wick above the flame.
You barely have time to register the faint hiss and wisps of smoke before being swept off your feet and carried away from the blast zone.
Hopefully Azul won’t be too upset if his henchmen come back a little… crispier than when they left.

After a particularly stressful day
Jamil: As you know, Kalim, it has always been my intention to stay with you until you had a strapping son and I one likewise, to take over the burdens of my duties.
Kalim: That's right, Jamil, and I thank you for it-
Jamil: But I'm afraid there's been a change of plans. I am off to the kitchen to hack my head off with a big knife.

Taking a current break from writing for Twisted Wonderland due to a couple of factors. I’ve got a few requests in my inbox as well as a part three for the Voodoo Doll imagines. Once I’m back in the flow of writing, expect those to be uploaded, but it may take a while.

MC: Oh.
Riddle: No, that was the good part. Then, my mother showed up.
MC: Oh, and she objected?
Riddle: Well… she had issues.
MC: Don’t worry. I wrote a speech in case that happens. Well, it’s just two words. One of them’s “off”.

A silly little request so bare with me. How would the NRC boys react to MC singing Zero by LMYK at VDC?
Twisted Wonderland x Reader - Singing 0 (zero) by LMYK
Author's Note: Tha's a lotta bois. I'm a little worried that I wouldn't be able to write a good enough reaction for each of them without it getting repetitive, so I broke this up into 2 segments. The first is general reactions and which characters they apply to, and the second is a more in-depth scenario for Deuce (because I've mentioned guy in over half of my writing but haven't given him any spotlight). I hope you enjoy!
Pink = Applies slightly to character Purple = Applies to character Red = Applies strongly to character
The moment those first few notes leave your mouth, it’s all over for him. Any thoughts going through his mind are immediately drowned out by the sound of your voice, leaving him hanging onto the words you sing. A small part of him wonders if you're words are just for him. He watches you up on that sparkling stage with unblinking eyes; if he looks away for so much as a second, it’s one second he can never get back. You sway back and forth as you sing, and he moves in time with you. It’s the closest he can get to dancing with you. Whether intentional or not, you’ve captivated him and rendered him spellbound. Please don’t let him go.
Deuce, Jack, Idia, Silver, Floyd, Kalim, Rook, Malleus
He smiles as you perform, but it’s not just the smile of another spectator sitting in the audience. It’s the smile of someone who watched you train day after day and practice for hours on end. For nearly a month you walked that delicate balance of pushing yourself to go further but holding yourself back from pushing too hard. Sure, you had the help of Vil’s tutelage and the support of your fellow performers, but that help could only take you so far. And seeing you sing for everyone with such passion and skill is proof that you’ve made it. It would be an honor to perform alongside you.
Azul, Jamil, Epel, Sebek, Riddle, Deuce, Rook, Jack, Vil
Well, aren’t you just full of surprises? Oh, don’t worry; he meant that in a completely positive way. Sure, he knew you could sing and was even lucky enough to overhear you humming and mumbling songs on those rare occasions when it was just the two of you, but he never expected to see you dressed in glitz and glamor and performing for a packed colosseum. This new side of you is like being hit with a blast of cold air. Unexpected, exciting, refreshing. Would you be willing to sing for him after the final curtain? No? Well, then he’d better enjoy the show while it lasts.
Ace, Leona, Jamil, Idia, Trey, Ruggie, Azul, Malleus, Cater, Jade, Lilia
Congratulations! You just got your first and biggest fan! Expect to have your first meet and greet as soon as the show’s over. And, yes, you will be required to hug and take a commemorative photo together. But can you blame him? You sounded so amazing! Even long after the stage has been taken down and student life returns to some level of normalcy, you’ll still have your Number 1 fan cheering you on from the sidelines. He’s as loud as a full house with half the subtlety. So won’t you sing again? Please? It’s such a shame to keep that beautiful voice all to yourself.
Cater, Ortho, Floyd, Sebek, Kalim, Rook
Deuce
For his sake, and by extension the sake of the team, let’s hope that your performance is after theirs. Because the second he hears your voice, Deuce is absolutely floored. The way you look, sound, how you command the stage; just when he thought he couldn’t fall for you any harder, you find another way to blow him away.
It’s only when Ace literally knocks some sense into him and jokingly warns Deuce not to change his vote that he’s pulled out of his stupor. But then he takes a second to process the thought that just went through his head. You’re one of if not the closest friend he’s made; is he really falling for you? Or is he just getting caught up in and carried away by everything that’s happened?
Maybe it’s because you’ve been spending so much time together. For the past month you’ve practically spent every waking second in each other’s presence. Whether it’s attending class, training at Pomefiore, or sharing meals; it would be quicker to list off the moments when you’re not together.
And throughout all of it, you never gave up on him. Even when it felt like the world was tearing him down, you were always one of the few people to help him get back up and see things from a different perspective.
Training, learning, growing together. The thought alone is enough to have Deuce grinning. There's no point in overthinking it anymore.

TWST Imagine #1
Imagine the students’ reactions to finding out you enjoy making fiber arts (weaving, sewing, embroidery, etc.).
Since Ace and Deuce spend the most time with you, they’re the first ones to discover your hobby.
The three of you were having lunch when the two boys realized that you hadn’t said a thing since they sat down to eat. Deuce looks over to ask what’s wrong and sees you hunched over in your seat, fiddling with something in your hands.
“What’ve you got there, (Name)? (Name)?”
You looked up and around, as if not realizing where you were, before smiling and showing him your hands. In one, you’re holding a very familiar sash of grey and white fabric. In the other, you’ve got a needle with some thread. And beside you lies a small sewing kit.
“Grim ripped his collar while trying to sneak out of class, so I figured I'd fix it up before it tears completely.”
Then you immediately go back to sewing. It’s a little jarring for them; seeing their usually blunt and sarcastic friend taking on such a dainty endeavor. But what’s even stranger is the amount of skill and concentration you’re investing in said endeavor. Your hands and eyes are moving with surgical precision, and the tray of food you brought has barely been touched. Ace wants to make some snide remark about how you, of all people, know how to sew, but he’s not even sure you’ll hear him. In hindsight, it’s probably for the best; you’re holding a needle in one hand and are within arm’s reach of scissors.
If Kalim finds out that you can make charms or trinkets, he’ll immediately ask you to make him one. Expect other students to follow soon after.
“So, how did I sound?”
“You were great!” you answer, stopping the recording.
Cater had run into you earlier that day and invited you to stop by the Light Music Club; to come listen to him play and give some feedback. This resulted in you becoming their impromptu cinematographer and filming his performance. Personally, you think that was his whole plan from the start, and he just wants a good video to put Magicam; not that you mind, either way. As you hand Cater back his phone, his eyes flick down to your wrist.
“Hey, that’s a pretty cool bracelet! Did you get that from the school store?”
“Oh this? Nah, this is just something I made in my spare time.”
“WHAT?!”
You practically jump into Cater’s arms, certain that half of the school could hear Kailm. The latter of the two runs over and takes your wrist in his hands. Despite practically bouncing with energy, he’s careful not to grab or pull too hard as he stares down at your wrist.
“You can make jewelry? That’s so cool!”
“I don’t know if I’d call it jewelry since it doesn’t use metal or, well, jewels.”
“That doesn’t matter. The fact that you can make something like this just goes to show how talented you are.”
You know Kalim’s just being a proverbial ball of sunshine because that’s how he is, but the compliment still makes you go a little pink.
“Thanks, I guess? I mean, I learned how to make friendship bracelets when I was a kid one Summer, so it just sort of stuck with me.”
“Friendship bracelets…” he parrots, like you just spoke in a foreign tongue. Then he smiles up at you. “Say, could you make me one? I mean, we are friends, after all!”
How can you say no to a request like that?
“Hah, of course, Kalim. Did you have a preferred color in mind?”
“Hmm, maybe something blue. Like a sky blue?”
“I’d prefer something in an emerald-green.”
“Gah!”
You swiftly turn to face Lilia, who’s standing right behind you. It comes as more of a surprise than it really should.
“What are you talking about?”
“Oh, I simply assumed the offer was open to all of us. We’re all friends here, are we not?”
He smiles back at you.
“If you want me to make you one, you can just ask. Cater?”
“Red and white, please!”
…And look forward to even more of them asking for you to fix their clothes
Knock-knock!
“Hang on a sec…”
You open the doors to Ramshackle and are greeted by the sight of Ruggie holding a small stack of hastily folded clothes.
“Again?”
“Yeah, things got a little out of hand during our last Magift practice. I already washed ‘em. D’ya think you can fix it?”
You take one of the shirts and examine the damage; just some unraveling along the seams, nothing longer than an inch.
“Yeah, I can take care of these no problem.”
Ruggie follows you into the lounge, closing the door behind him. He takes his usual spot on the couch and sets the clothes on the table, while you go to get your things. Perhaps he should stop by Sam’s next time and pick up some more supplies; you were starting to run low the last time he was over. A moment later, you’re back with your tools and are already at work fixing up the tears.
“You know, you don’t have to stay here and wait for me to finish; I can just text you when they’re done.”
“It’s fine. Besides, it gives me an excuse to not go run errands for Leona.”
“Aren’t you bored, though?”
“Nah, this is the only chance I get for downtime.”
You chuckle softly, finishing up one shirt before moving on to the next. It looks like you’ll just barely have enough thread to finish the job.
“Maybe you should start charging a fee to people for fixing their clothes.”
“You sound like Azul,”
“I’m just sayin'; if someone can afford to buy a new shirt, they can afford to pay for some thread. At least that way you’re not spending your own money.”
“Does that mean you’d be willing to cover the expenses?”
“Does it have to be my money?”
“Well how else do you plan to compensate me?”
“I could cook your meals?”
“Tempting, but I think I’d rather just take the money. Besides, didn’t you just say this is your downtime?”
You can’t help but laugh as his smile lessens just a little.
“Relax, I’m just kidding,”
“No, it’s fine. I was gonna buy you supplies anyways…”
“That’s good. Because I’m pretty sure this is the third time I’ve had to repair this exact tear in this exact spot on this exact shirt.”
“Huh, what a weird coincidence…”
While a lot of students will tease you, some of them admire the dedication you have to your craft.
You hold one end of the thread up and use your hand to cut it with your scissors. The snip could barely be heard over the sound of Idia furiously typing away at his computer.
At first you were shocked that Ortho had come to you, asking for help with something on Idia’s behalf. And you were even more confused when he all but dragged you to Ignihyde dorm, insisting that you had to come to his brother’s room and that there was no way he could bring ‘it’ to Ramshackle. But then Idia showed you a rather large demon-plushie with some torn seams and bits of stuffing poking out.
Yeah, no, that’s more than fair.
However, despite your respect for discretion and almost total silence, Idia was internally panicking. More so than usual. You’re with him. In his bedroom. And you’re handling one of his stuffed-imps. The only reason he hasn’t suffered a TKO is thanks to Ortho, who asked to watch you work.
If you were aware of the two brothers staring at you - one with pure curiosity and one in pure terror - you showed no sign of it. Instead, your attention was solely focused on the task at hand; at least you weren’t trying to talk to them. The minutes ticked by and Idia found himself looking less at his screens and more at you. And the longer he looked, the more things he began to notice. The way you smile when you pull the needle through, how your hands brush over the fabric as if trying to soothe an actual living thing, the slight movement of your fingers as you weave the needle in and out.
Once you’re done with one part, you pluck another thread from the spool, pulling more and more until you’ve drawn a length of string that goes from the tips of your fingers, down the length of your arm, and to your other hand. Still holding the thread in one hand, you grab the shears beside you, nest the thread between the two blades, and cut.
Snip!
And you continue working. Like the Fates from the age of Myth. Focused, graceful, confident.
His own little Fate…”
“Did you say something?”
“Ooh! What’s this thing for?” Ortho asks, pointing to a small metal tool beside you.
“Oh, I use that in case I need to split a seam,” you explain to him with a smile, “But it looks like I don’t have to use that this time,”
Thankfully, the school is somewhat lenient when it comes to customizing your uniforms...
“Hey, Deuce! Check it out!”
Epel’s eyes scan the sports field, making sure that no one was paying attention to him and the fellow first-year. Once the coast is clear, he unzips the top half of his uniform, just enough to hold out the right side of his jacket. It takes Deuce a moment to understand what he was supposed to be seeing, but then he notices a patch in the shape of a grinning skull lining the inside of Epel’s jacket.
“Woah!” he can’t help but be in awe, “When did you get that?!”
“You remember how we talked about getting designs put on our uniforms, right? I went to (Name) and actually did it!”
“That’s so cool! It’s like it’s staring right at me!”
“I know, right?! I wanted to go with the dragon, but (Name) said that something that detailed would be too big for a patch. And then Vil would inevitably see it and freak out.”
“That’s too bad. Still, it looks really impressive. Like, you open your jacket and people see that looking back at them.”
“Totally! Plus, it’s right over where the pocket is, so no one’ll know it’s there,”
“No one will know what’s there?” 
The two boys jump before turning to see Pomfiore’s vice housewarden smiling down at them.
“Ah… Hello, Rook. I didn’t see you there.” Deuce smiles as he not-so-subtly stands in front of Epel, who’s fumbling with his zipper.
“My apologies,” the third-year began, “But I couldn’t help but notice the two of you talking and had to know what it was that ignited that spark in your eyes. So…”
He moved Deuce to the side and took a step towards Epel.
“You’re not hiding anything, are you? Epel?”
The younger boy’s eyes are looking everywhere except at the upperclassman.
“Um… I-”
“Rook!” All three of them look over to see Coach Vargas marching over to them. “You better not be hunting my students again!”
“Ah, je suis désolé,” Rook sighs, “I’m afraid I must depart. How tragic, if only that I could stay a little while longer.”
He starts to walk away, but pauses and turns back to them with a smile.
