AHHHHHHH PART 6 of @jackplushie's automation au ideas!
IGNIHYDE IGNIHYDE IGNIHYDE I CAN FINALLY RELEASE THE LOREEEE I hope y'all like this. Surprisingly there's... only one actual spoiler for chapter 6? And it's sorta something that's like... you were probably already maybe guessing since meeting the ignihyde bois, and i tried to be unclear about it... but its also pretty foundational soooo not able to seperate it.
(Oh yeah and... like one group name which i just decided to throw in there so it's like... a half spoiler?)
EDIT: pssst if you liked this I made a sideblog for twst writing, @scertifiedsavanaclawstan! So go follow me over there!
Ignihyde
Ignihyde Industries is a company that primarily creates tech for... well industrial purposes. Although that's not to say that's all they do.
Idia Shroud, acting head of Ignihyde's Research division, specifically project STYX. An initiative he started to investigate the possible future of true artificial intelligence.
It was a... passion project, and even with all of Ignihyde's connections at his disposal, getting access to all the different androids was... challenging.
But eventually bots began flowing through his lab, free for him to tinker around with, a few curcuit connections here... a few bits of code there and he sends the androids back into the world.
He spends every hour of the day watching his test subjects remotely. Monitoring their vitals, their movements, their behaviors.
It's easy to spend every minute in front of his screens... he replaced his stomach a while ago, and he hasn't needed to sleep in years.
Not since...... Well since he decided to start becoming more machine than man.
But it was fine. He had a goal after all, and no one was going to- hang on what the fuc-
Project STYX didn't get any conclusive results on wether it's subjects even had a semblence of conciousness.
But then YOU showed up on his screen. You had picked up a bot displaying signs of sentience that wasn't even from his lab!
Idia became obsessed, spending most of his time (well compared to the other cases) monitoring you.
He became intimately familiar with your schedule, your habits, your tastes. He almost forgot what he was originally doing.
And THEN one of the bots that had gone through his lab ALSO showed up at your house.
And then another... and then more... eventually Idia was actually spending the majority of his time watching you.
And keeping an eye on the androids! . . . But mostly you. He had to.
Anything for a chance to see his brother again.
Ortho Shroud. First android created by Idia Shroud, first result of project STYX, and the first android to achieve true sentience.
Well, at least he would be if his brother acknowledged him. Everytime he tried to bring it up Idia would just frown and remark "that's what you're programmed to say" with dissapointment.
But he shouldn't be dissapointed! Because he did it! Ortho could really feel! Even when he was shut down!
His big brother was too distraught at his apparent failure to bring him back that he wasn't even bothering to monitor him... So he'd never realize that.
Ortho spent his days listlessly helping his brother... and then Idia started watching you.
Ortho was curious about the bot you'd picked up, the beginning of his brother's obsession. It looked like a standard cat-bot, the kind children would keep as pets.
But yours... talked... and glowed with an odd blue light, and you... didn't seem to mind?
This was the sort of thing where most people would immeadiately send the bot back to the manufacturer. Did you not even realize? Did you not care? . . . Did you prefer it this way?
Ortho's gears, literal and figurative were turning. His brother hadn't gotten much conclusive data on the other subjects... and he hadn't had an easy time considering they were all spread so far around...
Wouldn't it be better if he could keep track of them all in one place? And maybe... if his brother began to notice the traits of sentience in the other bots... maybe he'd notice them in Ortho too.
So now the younger Shroud also keeps his eyes on you. He keeps track of your buying habits, your budget, your scavenging grounds.
He puts the changed androids right in your line of sight when you're walking down main street, he hacks the stores to put them on discount when you walk in, he has them moved as close as he can to your scavenging range.
Of course, they aren't always that easy. Sometimes he had to get his hands... a little more dirty.
If the Viper bot needed his safety features shut down to execute his plan? He'd get thrown out with his charge, and Ortho could send them straight to you.
If the hunter's trackers got stuck to your cat? If Heartslabyl's new manager bot gets distracted by a friendly cat eared bot? If a slippery butler needs to lose sooner than he should've?
Well it's not like he's *ruining* all their lives or anything. After all to hear his brother complain about it, living with you is probably way better than whatever they were doing before. They should be thanking him really.
And you get a bunch of companions too! Things are going great for you, he's making sure of it.
So make sure not to put all his hard work to waste, okay?

Can you do twst vice wardens (pls replace lilia with silver and ortho with ace) with a male reader that has a habit of not telling people about his various health problems. He has a whole iron deficiency and doesn’t tell anyone until he passes out in the middle of the hallway.
In the middle of a conversation he'll just drop an "Oh, my headaches going down" "you have a headache?" And such.
Thankyou!
"You what?!"
A/N: Hiii so sorry it keeps taking me forever to get to requests. I've been gone for a good amount of the summer on trips and stuff. I'm also dealing with some personal things. I made post about it, but for whatever reason it hasn't been seen. Anyways this request is so me, I'm either bothering people about my problems or literally never telling them to the point where it's concerning. I don't really talk about it but I do have some physical heath problems, so this feels nice for me to write.
Male reader, he/him pronouns used, author put his own health issues in just because, headaches, low iron, knee problems, heart problems.
Tumblr media
Trey Clover
Trey is a very attentive older brother type, it would be very hard to hide something being wrong from him
But somehow you did
After all, with low iron, you never really know somethings wrong until you stand up
The two of you were relaxing after a lot of baking
Knowing there was an unbirthday party coming up, you decided to help him out
Unfortunately, you did over exert yourself quite a bit
You definitely felt off, but you decided it was fine and that it would probably go away
while the two of you were sitting down and talking, drinking some water, the timer went off
You went to get up and take the treats out of the oven when
uh oh
for a bit your head felt fuzzy, and you went down
To say Trey freaked out was an understatement
He really thought that you died for a minute
after getting you up and sitting you back down in your chair, he got the treats out of the oven himself
Once everything was settled and he made sure you were okay, you got a very lengthy lecture about taking care of yourself and telling people when you don't feel well
After this he gets very protective over you, constantly checking that you're okay and if you need anything
great job, you've activated the "big brother" part of Trey
Ruggie Bucchi
Ruggie could probably sense that something was wrong with you
Was he going to address it if you didn't say anything? no.
Listen, it's not that he doesn't care about you, it's just that he doesn't want to make extra work for himself
But don't worry, he ends up regretting that decision
When you're laying on your desk in pain
He stops and doesn't know what to do for a hot minute
And then he's off
He's running around the school trying to get what might help you
Water, food, pain meds
You want it? He's on his way to get it
He feels really bad about it later, please assure him
he'll get mad at you if you admit that it's common for you to never actually teel people you're in pain
He's also paranoid from now on
He'll constantly carry ibuprofen on him just in case and is very vigilant of your body language
he's worried about you
Don't scare him like that again please he can't take it
Jade Leech
It was really just a normal day
going to classes, trying to stay awake during lessons, and getting pestered by at least one of the eel twins
While having a nice talk with jade, something started to feel off
your chest felt weird
It didn't hurt per say, but it felt like it was racing
Having heart issues, you immediately knew what was wrong
Jade watched with a curious look as you took your water bottle and took a drink
He questioned if you were alright, and you told him what was wrong
With a calm look on his face, he immediately takes action
Your brought back to the mostro lounge and told to wait patiently as Jade disappeared for a few minutes
He later came back with a small meal for you and more water
He assured you that it had plenty of salt in it to help your heart's hard work and told you to take it easy
Now that he's aware of your situation, he's extra attentive
He may know somethings wrong before you do at this rate
And don't worry, he never doubts you or thinks you're dramatic if you ever tell him somethin may be wrong
Also has liquid i.v ready if you ever need it
He's now the number one person to go to when you're having issues
Jamil Viper
Parties can be overstimulating
So it's unfortunate that Kalim throws one almost every day
After an hour or two, Jamil thankfully found a less crazy sport for the two of you to sit
The two of you talked for a bit, enjoying the upbeat atmosphere
Halfway through talking, your head started to feel fuzzy, but you decided to brush it off and that it would probably go away eventually
Then Kalim called the two of you over
You couldn't figure out what he wanted you for, but the two of you got up anyway
When you stood up, the fuzziness in your head hit ten times harder, and you went down
Thankfully Jamil, with his quick reflexes, was able to catch you just in time
after assuring you were okay, albeit a bit panicked, you admitted you knew something was wrong, but decided to not say anything
And that's the story of how you got scolded by Jamil about taking care of yourself and telling people when something was wrong
He's much more on edge when the two of you spend time together from now on
He's constantly pestering you about how you feel, while trying (failing) to hide his genuine concern
Don't tease him about it, please
Rook Hunt
Lets be honest now, did you really think you could hide something from Rook?
Getting it away from trey? believable. Rook? Absolutely not
He is vigilant, nothing gets past him
Nothing
Even when you think he's not around, he is watching and he will know something is wrong
And the second he realizes your head hurts, he is all over you
Like showering you in concern and affection 24/7
if you were planning on keeping it from him, too bad
He's not giving you the chance
Really, he's treating you like royalty
You're in bed all day, dim lights, water, and any snacks you want
And he's not taking no for an answer
he's an extravagant man, what else were you expecting?
And from now on, he'll constantly be checking up on you
In the most dramatic way possible
He'll gently grab your shoulders and ask if you're okay
And if you aren't he'll grab your hands and with the most dramatic display, be so distressed for you and also praise you for being "so brave"
Such a dramatic man, really, but a dramatic man who's worried for you
Ace Trappola
Joining basketball with the boys sounds like so much fun, right?
Right???
Not really
Especially not when you've got a whole lotta knee pain
But it's alright, just power through it, as most people say
However most people don't realize that that's a bad idea
And unfortunately, you are most people
Forgetting your knee braces sure is unfortunate, although you thought it would be fine
It was not
Especially not when Ace decided to pull an "ankle breaker" on you
And it did just that
But with your knee caps
Listen, Ace may be a total jerk, but hearing a loud pop and then seeing you collapse...
He couldn't help but feel at least a little bad
But limping over to the bench you assured him that you were okay
Once sitting down, you took a deep breath and
another pop
And right back into place
And now you terrify him
This is something you can hold over his head at the slightest moment he starts to be a brat
Him doing the regular teasing? "Remember when you popped my kneecap out of place?"
Don't ever let him live this down
Silver
Unlike other characters on this list, it is so easy to keep something from Silver
It's not that he doesn't care, he's just very tired
But once he fins out that you've had a massive migraine this whole time, he feels so bad
he offers to get you anything you need
And once you're all settled, he looks so guilty
He may start to wallow if you don't stop him
Please stop him
Please assure him that it's not his fault
He really feels bad for not noticing earlier
Afterwards, he makes it clear that you need to tell him when you don't feel good
He also tries to be a lot more attentive from now on
He just feels so bad
This is where you both decided to work on communication skills
From now on, please tell him when you feel bad
he's worried for you :(
Tumblr media
I'm finally back yaaay, but I took forever on this. i procrastinate so bad I'm sorry. I threw in my own physical problems too, hope y'all don't mind. ty for reading and gave a nice day :)

Vil: *thinking to himself as to why he has to carry a plant with him*
Vil: *mutters* Sometimes, I wonder... Why do I even listen to Rook?
Vil: This is obviously nonsense.
Ace: Vil-senpai!
Vil: Hm?
Deuce: We need your help!
MC: *who looks extremely sad*
Vil: ...
Vil: What happened?
Vil: I see. So you have overfed your venus fly trap and now it has turned black.
MC: *grunts weakly*
Vil: *sigh* What an irresponsible plant owner you are.
MC: *droops*
Ace: *frowns* Vil-senpai, they're already sad. You don't have to make them feel bad.
Deuce: I agree with Ace. Besides, according to Shroud-senpai, MC isn't really that familiar with plants.
Vil: Huh. So you just like them because of how they look?
MC: *looks confused*
Ace: Vil-senpai.
Vil: What is it?
Ace: Are you going to help us or not?.
Vil: It's not like I can do anything about this. I don't see any new growth so this plant is already dead.
Ace and Deuce: ...
MC: ...
MC: *their eyes start to water*
Deuce: M-MC! Don't cry!
Ace: We'll get you a new plant, okay?
Vil: ...
Professor Crewel: Where is that big puppy? I'm not seeing them.
Deuce: Sir... They're still mourning over their dead venus fly trap.
Professor Crewel: What? That doesn't make sense. Do they want their grade to suffer?
Deuce: ...
Ace: Hey, Deuce. Let's try to convince them to attend their classes.
Ortho: MC, it's okay. We can buy another one.
MC: *shakes their head, then continue to sulk*
Ortho: ...
Ortho: MC, if you continue to be sad, your plants will get sad too.
MC: *looks at him* *grunts*
Ortho: Yes. Plants can feel stressed too.
Ortho: And when they get stressed, they get sick.
Ortho: You don't want that to happen, right?
MC: *nods*
Ortho: Great! Let's go now to your classes, okay?
Epel: Rook? Why is MC following Vil?
Rook: *chuckles* I wonder.
Vil: No. I don't want to be your plant doctor.
MC: 'Please?' *on their small whiteboard*
Vil: No. I'm a busy person. Besides, I'm not doing favors for free.
MC: *grunts*
MC: *pulls something out of their pocket*
*A beautiful necklace*
Vil: ...
Vil: Why do you have something like this?
MC: 'Made it'.
MC: 'Like?'
Vil: ...
Vil: *examines the necklace* I think it will look good on my complexion. *then noticed their hands*
*there's some fresh scars on them*
Vil: *sigh* But you should at least wear protective gears next time.
MC: *grunts*
MC: *writes a response*
MC: 'Need feel it'.
Vil: Huh? Isn't the metal going to be too hot?
MC: *nods*
MC: *grunts* *points at the necklace* *then gives him a thumbs up*
Vil: ...
Vil: Whatever you say, those hands need to get treated. *holds their hand then drags them*

i would like to request grape with idia!
Pairing - Idia Shroud x Reader
Prompt - "You wanna kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid."
Tumblr media
...
Idia had been on a Overwatch win streak earlier, history class hadn't been that bad, and now Ortho was escorting his tablet back to the dorm. Everything was right with the world.
It was a perfectly peaceful day.
Until he saw you.
"Ortho!" Idia whispered into his mic, trying to catch his brothers attention without catching yours. "Turn around."
Ortho cocked his head in confusion.
"Why?"
"Because Y/N is coming this way and I don't want to talk to them right now."
"Why not?"
"Because I was having a good day today and they're gonna ruin it!" Idia groaned, leaning back in his swivel chair. It seemed like you were always so mean for no reason. He pulled the headset mic away from his mouth to not be as loud. "Hate that b-tch."
"Why would you hate Y/N? They're so nice!" Ortho said, much louder than necessary. Idia face-planted behind the screen as Ortho batted his eyelashes in fake innocence.
You had been purposefully trying to avoid Idia as you didn't feel like draining your energy talking to a self-proclaimed "weaboo" but you overheard Ortho's near-shout and had to butt in.
"As much as I love to have you defending my virtue, Ortho, you'd better not say nice things about me with Idia in the room," you smiled sweetly and Ortho before switching to a glare, pointed at the black screen you knew Idia was hiding behind. "He might have a stroke at the mere thought of me not being a total a$$."
"If you don't want me to think you're a jerk, then stop being one!" he exclaimed, making the microphone shriek with feedback. You winced and covered your ears as Idia cleared his throat and adjusted the mic, glad you couldn't see his bright red blush.
"I don't want you tarnishing my good name, especially to Ortho." You pulled the boy into a hug, which he returned with eagerness, a little beep in the back of his head serving as a reminder of serotonin increase. "He's like a little brother to me and I don't want him to think badly of me."
"Once he sees how you treat people, maybe he'll stop idolizing you so much," Idia scoffed, remembering all the times Ortho had talked his ear off about how much he loves you and wanted you to be his big sibling too.
"Other people? My frigidity is reserved for you only," you winked at the camera in a burst of confidence, pretending not to notice the mortified squeak from the speaker. "You are a very special person, Idia Shroud. I make a point to try and like everyone but you are just so punchable."
"Haven't punched me yet."
"One day," you sighed with a joking wistfulness. Idia rolled his eyes and gritted his teeth as you continued to nuzzle his brother with affection.
He loved Ortho and he hated you and he hated that Ortho loved you. If only you weren't such a normie, he would love you more but alas...
"Why do you have to be around Ortho so much anyway? Go get your own little brother."
"But he's so cute!" you whined, smiling adoringly at Ortho's who basked in your attention. "We can play nice and share."
"I have an idea!" Ortho's eyes lit up. Literally. A little lightbulb was displayed in his pupil screen. "If the two of you were married, I would be both of your real little brother! Then Y/N would be in the family and we'd get to hang out all the time!"
There was a moment of quiet, a calm before the inevitable storm. You and Idia were so stunned you couldn't speak. When you finally found your words, it was chaos.
"How could you say that, Ortho?"
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!"
"Marry him?"
"Marry them?"
"I don't even like him!"
"Have you met them?"
Ortho muted his external microphone to block out the yelling but he could still see your mouth moving at rapid speeds and Idia's tablet vibrating with sound.
"I would die before I marry you, Y/N!"
"Good thing it won't come to that!"
"I would..." Idia paused for a second, trying to think of the most insulting thing he could. "I would lose 50-50 on purpose to C6 Qiqi before I married you."
"Well, that's how I know you're serious," you scoffed. "You start talking about Genshin."
"I'm serious! I really don't like you!"
"You sound more like you're trying to convince yourself," you chuckled, moving on to the teasing tactic. Idia cursed under his breath. This was his least favorite phase of your boss battle because it always ended with him in a blushing mess, kicking his feet on his bed.
"I don't need any convincing because I know it's true," he bit back, trying to hold his ground while you ran your tongue along your top teeth. You bent down to where the tablet hovered and looked directly into the camera, looking it up and down as if it were a real person. You knew Idia could see the perspective from his gamer chair and you knew it would get a good rise out of him.
"You want to kiss me so bad it makes you look stupid."
The tablet stayed silent and for a moment, you thought he had logged off until you heard a broken-up screech that the mic apparently couldn't process.
"Now listen here..." he started before Ortho cut him off.
"That's true, actually. Sometimes he "catches himself looking at your lips and hates himself for wanting to kiss you"," Ortho said as if it was a completely normal thing to bring up. "Direct quote from the video diary."
"Ortho!" Idia screamed, now a flustered and furious piled of bright pink hair. "Why did you look at that?!"
"Not my fault," Ortho mumbled. You stared at the tablet, your confident smirk now replaced with a stunned furrow in your brow.
"For real?" you said on a nervous exhale, cursing your heart for skipping a beat. "I was just joking. I didn't think you'd actually wanna kiss me IRL."
"I don't!" Idia protested before shrinking back into his chair and pouting. "I'm not some kind of creep! I know you would never want to kiss me."
You picked up the tablet and brought it to eye level, forcing it to stop bobbing up and down as it hovered.
"Idia Shroud," you said, dead serious. Idia gulped like a kid in the principals office.
"Yeah?" he responded weakly. You sighed and looked over at Ortho.
"Ortho, I'm going back to the dorm with you."
"Why?" both Shroud brothers asked in unison. You turned back to the tablet and smiled.
"I can't kiss you over the Seven forsaken screen, now can I?"
"You... WHAT?!!"
"Yes!" Ortho yelled, rocketing up into the air. "Two big siblings!"

Something I really like in the House of Mouse AU is that the OG sidekicks have really taken a shine to their twisted counterparts
Like the Queen of Hearts’ card soldiers treating the twst!card soldiers as little brothers
The Cheshire Cat treating Che’nya as though they’ve been best friends for life
Shenzi, Banzai and Ed adopting Ruggie into their cackle
Flotsam and Jetsam just absolutely loving Floyd and Jade
Aladdin’s carpet enjoys playing with Kalim’s carpet
Queen Grimhilde’s crow likes to hang around with Epel sometimes (I know Epel represents the apple but technically the crow was there when the poisoned apple was made so technically it counts)
Humbert the Huntsman is too terrified of Rook to say anything so he just sits there in traumatised silence
The OG seven dwarfs being grandpas to the twst!seven dwarfs
Maleficent’s goblin minions having a blast whenever they see Sebek (again I know that he’s Maleficent’s lightning but they get zapped with lightning so it works)
It’s nice and cute watching the villains grow soft for Yuu and their twisted selves but these henchmen have their own counterparts as well that their protective of
The villains are rooting for their boys, but the sidekicks are going "One of us! One of us!" :D
I like to think Lucius and Lucifer are just napping together somewhere. Like they found a nice to curl up in and are just chilling.
I feel like Humbert the Hunstman is just really awkward, ya know? He didn't want to kill Snow White, he let her go, he doesn't know why he's here counting as a henchman. He figured Rook was a nice enough guy, but also he says some off putting things and this man is scared. He just wants to home tbh.
Sebek is trying, key word there is trying, to bring some order to Maleficents goblin henchmen. But after learning that babies do grow after sixteen years, they still horribly misunderstood and are under the impression that Sebek is a big baby wanting to be a grown up. So his attempts to bring order are met with "Aww! Look at him! He's trying to be a big boy now!"
Also you know the episode where Pinocchio starts hanging out with Pain and Panic and they're being a bad influence on him? That. But with Ortho. They like him, don't get me wrong, but they also want him to loosen up and have, what they think, is a good time.

Hello is it alright to request a scenario where the overblot students dreamt there future with their s/o before meeting their s/o and there reaction when they finally met them
Hi, thank you for the ask! This was fun but I could only write a little bit, I might do a part two
Overblot!students meet s/o that they saw in their dreams
Riddle
First of all, he probably has super good memory and immediately knew who you were when you met them. He didn't expect you to be a magic-less person however that got dropped into Twisted Wonderland
He won't say directly that he saw you "once upon a dream" but he will be interested in talking to you. He might drag you aside when you're trying to talk with Ace and Deuce for example
I feel like he won't react that big in front of you, he might even deny that there is any kind of fate involved because of his realistic approach in life. However, he might find it surprising to see you
Leona
He forgot about the dream completely until you did something exactly the same way you did in his dream - step on his tail
He then proceeded to ignore you, basically treating you with a cold shoulder like he had always done to everyone, but behind your back he might ask Ruggie to follow you around for a bit. He doesn't want to admit it but he's intrigued by you
When he finally recalls the dream and all, he might try to go for you but won't actually make a large effort (because he's lazy) because he's busy. He will find it a bit unnerving that someone he knows from a dream is in front of him
Azul
He's sort of a helpless romantic sadly, and because of this he'll immediately recognize you from his dream. You were so nice to him, so of course he remembered you! He just didn't expect you to be a Ramshackle dorm leader and to be stuck with a trio that shared a braincell (Grim, Ace, Deuce)
He does try to waver you to him through his smooth talk and all, but with the way the tweels follow you around, you might be afraid to approach him and accept his advances. This won't stop him however, he's persistent!
Other than that however, he will find it a bit peculiar that such a meeting occurred. If anything, he thinks he's still dreaming because he doesn't know if he deserves to be with you.
Jamil
He recognized you, but didn't think of this as a good thing and instead thought this was some kind of omen. Was this supposed to be a bad thing?
He does try to talk to you because you were friendly to him in his dream, and it turns out the two of you actually like each other's company. You might find him to be a bit nagging at first, but he's kind.
He won't tell you about the dream he had, but he will mention that you are almost too good to be real if you two decide to start dating.
Vil
He won't mention the dream and he's taking this to the grave haha. He thinks it's impossible to meet someone that looks and acts EXACTLY the same way as the person he met while he was sleeping, but here you were!
He doesn't really get interested in you until you approach him first about his movies and acting career. After that, his confidence in trying to woo you might increase (not like he already assumed you would come to him because his ego's just that big-)
Overall, just expect him to be silent about the dream but he will be kind to you, which is a shock to everyone else because he's usually not that soft to the others haha
Idia
Is amazed that dreams can become a reality because he's so pessimistic and doesn't really believe in fairytales. Yet here you were!
He's too afraid to approach you, thinking he's not worthy of talking to someone so kind but Ortho does it for him, even mentioning that Idia might've seen you in his dreams. This causes Idia's hair to flare up
You two end up being super close but he won't admit that he saw you in his dreams. You truly are too good for this world however, and he's just glad that you're real

I really adore reading your different opinions and discussions about the Twist Cast, world, theories, and so on. Which is also why i wanted to ask you: If you could rate the 7 Dorms (+ Ramshackle dorm) based on environment, characters, interior design, etc. how would you rate them from a scale from 1 to 10...?
I'm curious to know. :)))
Tumblr media
Well and this is probably the scientist in me speaking 💦 those are a lot of different factors to consider in one score, and not all of them are equally weighed. Each dorm is very different; we don’t even get the same number of characters for each; the higher number of characters in Heartslabyul, for example, could either bring down or bring up the whole score). It wouldn’t be a clean or a fair game.
Instead of giving “overall” numerical scores, I’m just going to break them up into multiple categories, each list arranged from “favorite” to “least favorite.
By Environment:
Octavinelle — I’ve always wondered what it’s like under the sea… It’d be so tranquil just through Octavinelle’s big glass walls and watching the sea creatures drift by. So therapeutic! (And free, too 😂)
Heartslabyul/Pomefiore — Both feature gardens! I can get lost in them, smelling the roses along the way. Pomefiore is more traditionally pretty (ballrooms, grand decorations, etc), whereas Heartslabyul focuses on whimsy and wonder (more clutter, windy halls, etc). I appreciate both aesthetically!
Ramshackle — Nothing that standout, but also nothing too bad about it. Might be depressing to look out of a window and immediately spot a dead tree and a graveyard though. Also keep in mind that Ramshackle is located the farthest from the main buildings on campus, but I don’t mind this because walking a while helps me properly wake up. The isolation is also nice for an introvert like me.
Diasomnia — Everything looks dark and dead. Constantly worried about being poked by thorns.
Ignihyde — Does outside even exist to these nerds?/j Same issue as Diasomnia but worse somehow; too gloomy and dead looking. Looks creepier because of the tech glowing/casting some light in the darkness.
Scarabia + Savanaclaw — IT’S TOO HOT I’LL DIE OF HEAT STROKE
By Characters:
*Note: takes both individual characters + group dynamics into account*
Octavinelle — The most cohesive as a group, but each Octa boy also stands on their own as a strong and interesting character in my eyes. Helps that J word also belongs here 💕 Watching their schemes unfold is always a treat.
Scarabia — Jamil and Kalim are a comedic yet complicated combination; seeing them puts a smile on my face whether it’s because Jamil is suffering or because Kalim is being oblivious. Usually both.
Savanaclaw — The only one I’m meh on is Jack 😭 Best part of Savanaclaw is definitely when Leona steps up and everyone else backs up his leadership.
Ignihyde — Love Ortho, don’t love Idia (except for those few moments when he’s relatable), so it evens out. Appreciate how much Ortho cares for his brother and encourages him to try new things! Big fan of their wholesome brotherly dynamic, it’s basically one of the few times I can stand Idia.
Pomefiore — Of the group, I only like Rook. I don’t really care for their group dynamic.
Heartslabyul — No particularly strong feelings about anyone here. They’re alright.
Diasomnia — The only character I like of this group is Sebek, and even then the love is somewhat conditional (because as soon as he starts harassing people about Malleus, that love plummets). Silver and Lilia are okayish, but I dislike Malleus so that brings this dorm way down. I think Diasomnia is strongest from the found family angle.
Ramshackle — … What characters? (Yuu doesn’t count; they’re purposefully written as a blank slate and I would rather read about an already established character than an intentionally bland one. The ghosts also don’t count because there’s nothing to distinguish their personalities from one another; they don’t event get names 😭) Grim is a little meowmeow on his own…though I do really love the ghosts being Yuu and Grim’s found family.
By Interior Design:
Octavinelle/Pomefiore — Classic and fancy ✨
Heartslabyul — I’m a sucker for the Alice in Wonderland aesthetic.
Scarabia — Looks huge and fun to explore; probably full of interesting things to gawk at because of the wealth that has been poured into the dorm.
Ramshackle — Cozy, nothing offensive about it.
Diasomnia — Feels like I walked into a haunted castle. Doesn’t look very welcoming or inviting. Might get jumpscared at the next corner.
Ignihyde — Too inorganic and stiff because of all the tech and blue screens floating around. I’d probably get a migraine from just being in Ignihyde.
Savanaclaw — Outdoorsy energy. Would constantly be concerned about sun burn and bug bites (because of how “open” the dorm’s design is). Rope bridges would make me feel nauseous. Just overall not a fun time.
*Bonus* — By Uniform(s):
Noble Bell College :>
Octavinelle — Simple but effective. Also just love me a crisp suit 😩 and cummerbunds (since they accentuate the waist)…
Pomefiore — The colors as flowy fabric are so pretty together… It’s also interesting how they incorporated a kimono-like design into a very European styled/inspired dorm. It works surprisingly well! Adore the intricate fabrics in their sleeves; the complex apple pattern on the red, the sheer black material, etc.
Diasomnia — I have no clue how this uniform works (like, putting it on), but I will agree that it looks cool and intimidating. The hats are slightly silly, but they work well with the whole look.
Scarabia — Looks easy to move in! Love the gold accessories as well. I don’t like the garish flame pattern on their hotpants or the sandals.
Heartslabyul — Why are you wearing sneakers and plain white T-shirts. I thought the dorm uniform was supposed to be formal wear 😭
Ignihyde — Weirdly blocky and geometrical. Nothing that eye-catching to look at.
Savanaclaw — The biker-cowboy aesthetic is just NOT it, sis…
RSA
Ramshackle — … What dorm uniform? Grim’s striped bow? Cuz I’ll agree that it’s cute, but we have nothing else to go off of since Ramshackle isn’t formally recognized as a dorm.

TWST AU's - Feel Free to Ask About Them!
Legit have like 25 aus for TWST I'm not even joking and most of them are self indulgent and the list WILL grow sfhkldjfhksd
Coffeeshop AU (fleshes out Khan x Leona (this is a bad ship lmao they are NOT GOOD) and more sibling shenanigans between Vizzie and Leona)
Summer Camp AU (focuses around Sebek and Epel having been childhood crushes that reunite as camp counselours at a camp Viz and Leona run, there are Many Side Stories)
Pokemon AU (self-explanatory, I made teams up with my s/o and a bunch of bg)
Assassin AU (Students are all sleeper agents, operating under STYX as their test subjects basically, and they have no idea until one student's tech starts to malfunction.)
Prison AU (everyone has fucked up reasons for being in jail, they are All Prisoners, you'll notice in almost all my aus I have a shit ton of angst)
Circus AU (self explanatory, my LeoVil AU and Idikei AU)
Robot/MurderDrones AU in which Ortho's creation is the catalyst for STYX to make more androids for commercial and industrial use, and as they gain more intelligence Ortho would like to find a way to free his fellow bots from being pawns to the humans.
Rarepair AU literally put everyone's names in a wheel and just said Yep to every pair, very fun, have not fleshed this out at all lmao
Zombie Apocalypse AU pretty self explanatory except there are shit like blot zombies and varying degrees of those, Cheka grows into quite the little leader, I have not decided whether the ending is "happy" as in everything is resolved, or happy as in it's Actually Happy
Tattoo/Soulmate AU People with magic typically get into tattooing because they have the ability to make soulmate tattoos, but it varies depending on romantic, platonic/queerplatonic, familial feelings or other ones. Trey, Vil and Leona run a shop together, Deuce wants to join, Viz accidentally becomes his adoptive sister it's all fun and relatively low on the angst actually lmao
Monster AU hehe I've talked about this on this blog before, check out my pinned post!!
FNAF AU lmao this one has so much angst but you probably knew that already, inspired more by the pizzaplex/security breach than any other FNAF game, but a lot of the same type of lore
Coraline AU in which Viz gets to be Leona's big (half) sister for once. Falena is the eldest and treated with respect, everyone knows Viz isn't the king's biological daughter but they have to put up with her because the queen does, and Leona was the attempt between the king and queen to fix everything - it didn't work and he feels that. Ends up using an escape to another world to try and avoid that feeling, only to realize something much more sinister on the other side.
Biological Sister AU not super intuitive, seeing as above, Viz is Leona's half sister, but in this au she is also related him, just via the king this time. Don't ask me why I named it this, but it is what it is, she's taken in by the royal family early on and tries to bring it together. Idk it was a fun idea at the time.
Genderbent AU I wanted to explore Vizzie's trauma if she was around a bunch of other girls instead of guys and it goes Poorly but it's fun lmao
DnD AU b/c I've never played DnD and wanted to kinda learn so it's DnD inspired but the rules/roles aren't super strict but the worldbuilding is SO MUCH FUN (there are SO many dynamics all going on at the same time its GREAT)
Medieval Fantasy AU This is moreso my S/O's AU than it is mine but I wanted to talk about it because it also has a lot of fun worldbuilding in it that we did together (like the effects of OB and whatnot in this world)(also heavily inspired by DnD)
Arranged Marriage AU Viz and Riddle both have very overbearing, traditional moms and end up together against each others wills and have to unlearn their distaste for each other before they can start really working together to find ways to make each other happy
Greek God/Epic AU In which Viz takes on the Odyssey with Leona as her guide - he wants to prove himself worthy of the title of a God, and she will do anything to protect her people. It gets Complicated fast. (I actually have art I drew for this au lmao)
Poppy Playtime AU Really fucking depressing tbh, again, upon the perfection of Ortho's robotic aids (he never died, just severely incapacitated), all the other children that were used as test subjects were abandoned as half done projects and experiments that resembled toys
Dance AU I throw a bunch of the characters into dance. Vil, Riddle and Neige are on top but all three of them are having Gender Issues but in Big Denial about it.
Fairy AU My S/O also developed this one initially but I have a few different headcanons from them :D
And then I have 4 other aus I might take to Ao3 just because it seems people can filter tags better on there and uh. They Need Tags lmaooo

Imagine reader having a tongue piercing before showing up to twisted wonderland and the boys only find out after they get close to the reader?
Who do you think would have the best/worst time
SUGGESTIVE CONTENT AHEAD!
(Other than platonic Ortho)
Ahem.
If I have not mentioned it before, I have a tongue piercing. It is mostly for aesthetics, however this piercing serves another purpose as well!~! Hehehehe... I will not be writing for a snake eyes piercing because it’s actually not very safe to get done! So just plain and simple piercing in the tongue is all!
Let’s do a list of NRC Students shall we? If you request again, I will kindly make a list for staff and the off-campus boys and the staff!!
Now, let’s begin:
Tongue Tied or Traumatized?! v.1
Tongue Tied or Traumatized?! v.2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Heartslabyul
Riddle Rosehearts
You are laughing alongside Riddle during a study session, and he notices something sparkling on your tongue. He's so shocked, thinking a fairy flew in your mouth he grabs you by your face! Cupping your chin tightly in his grasp as he squeezes your jaw to open.
What in the world?!
What is this in your mouth?! How did that get there?!
Riddle is honestly shocked that you would have such a thing, why would you put yourself through such pain?!
He's close to passing out now, that's just too much...
Take that thing out at once! It’s distracting him!!!!!
You decide to tease him once he lets you go. So, you grab his wrist and lick over his fingers. Rubbing the stud in your tongue over his skinny fingers.
You’ve never seen him that red!!
“Honestly, that is enough! I’ll be speaking with the Headmage about a piercing stress code!”
He never did
Trey Clover
You were baking with Trey, and after big watery eyes and soft begging, he lets you lick the spoon clean of the vanilla batter. He jokingly holds it out to you... And sees something on your tongue as you lick away at the spoon...
TreyisFrozen.PNG
You didn't seem like the type to get your tongue pierced. Your ears? Sure. Your nose? Go for it. Your tongue? Never crossed his mind.
He thinks it looks really good on you, but saying that seems like a creepy thing to say, why was he staring so hard at your tongue anyways?!
Does it make it hard to brush your teeth? How do you clean it?!
He wants to talk about it so bad, but he can't think of how to strike up the conversation topic...
“Do you ever bite your tongue?”
Everyone bites their tongue!!!!!!!!!!! He is regretting so many things now. But, you at least pick up on what he’s trying to say
You open your mouth and stick out your tongue, giving him a much better view even though you’re tongue is coated with excess batter.
Close your mouth. Now. Please. He got an extra image he wasn’t mentally prepared for.
Cater Diamond
Cater invited you out to eat ramen with him! His treat! Once you got to the shop and began slurping away, he noticed something in your mouth… and it certainly wasn’t just noodles!
“Cute.”
You were both staring at each other now after Cater spoke. You assumed he meant to keep that to himself.
He casually compliments your tongue piercing, saying how it suits you and how he wants to get one done. When he finds more time, he plans to get others as well!
You asked him how many he has and he tells you he has 7 in total. But you’re confused. He only has his ears pierced, right?
“Hm? What, are you trying to find where the others are? Maybe when we get closer I’ll show you them all. For now, just guess.”
Here’s a hint, unless you’re trying to see him naked, he’ll never tell you where they all are!
Deuce Spade
Deuce has been staring at you the entire time you chatted with Sam during a store run for an UnBirthday Party being held. There was something in your mouth and it looked like a candy. But you were talking just fine? He waits until you both leave to pop the question.
He would straight up ask you why is your tongue pierced and did it hurt
Deuce thought about getting his tongue pierced but he didn’t want to freak out his mom!!!
He’s listening intently as you tell him all the pros and cons you’ve faced with caring for the piercing
Then, he asks you what kissing is like.
You’re both silent for a second before he becomes red faced, quickly changing the subject and rushing off to the party to set up
And once the UnBirthday Celebration begins, you take the opportunity to pull Deuce away to a secluded space and show him your tongue.
“Do you still wanna find out what kissing is like?”
Ace Trappola
The first day you met Ace, you learned how observant he was of you. He was already pointing out how you had something in your mouth, asking to see it closer when you were alone after class.
He directly asks you to stick out your tongue. No beating around the bush.
When you do, he's staring much harder than he was before. He's burning the image into his mind!!!!!!!
He doesn't say much after that, but he does seem more interested in being closer that day.
He seems more protective of you as well, dragging you away from the students who had a little too much interest in you for his liking
Ace pulled you into an empty classroom as the school day came to an end
"Hey, did you pierce it yourself? If you did, do mine for me. If not, I'll get it done anyways... It just looks cool okay?!"
Savanaclaw
Leona Kingscholar
Leona has no reason to really pay attention to you. Not until now. After napping beside you, he sees something stuck through your tongue.
He won't say anything to you about it and he doesn't plan to
Making a scene over it seems like a strange thing to do, but now he has more important things to think of other than sleeping
He does find it attractive you went through something so painful for the sake of a piercing no one can see
Well, those who paid attention to you could see
A few days later he gives you something: A tongue stud with a yellow gemstone in it!!
"You needed something new. Wear it or don't."
He hopes that the next time he sees you laugh that it's the piece of jewelry he gave you instead of what you had before
Ruggie Bucchi
Ruggie is always watching you, learning your ins and outs just in case you have something he may need from you. A favor of course. Then, one day, he notices you have a tongue piercing.
"What's that for?"
He was staring into your mouth with his tail swishing. It was shiny, and he likes shiny things.
He’s seen those types of piercings before, but he always slapped them onto the more sexual side of piercings
You told him you got it just because you wanted it. It looks nice and it only took a few days to heal
He casually asks you to sell him your tongue ring.
Some freak would love to own something like that and he can easily flip the jewelry for profit. Think of your little fanclub at NRC, RSA, and even NBA!~!
He's joking!!!!!! Don't get angry!!!!!!!! He’s teasing you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack Howl
The track club just needed someone to help keep up with times since the manager was out sick. Jack brought you a bottle of water as a thanks for helping. Then as you get ready to take a sip he sees it...
Jack is grabbing you by the shoulder to see what's in your mouth
“What did you eat?!”
What is that???????? He asks you to spit it out before you choke!!!
Jack is viewing you like an owner catching their dog with something they shouldn’t have
When you show him how it's THROUGH your tongue he's white as a sheet
Jack is squeamish and he can’t imagine how giant the needle must’ve been that they would STAB your tongue
Please,, take that thing out..,,..
Why would you do that to yourself???????
Don't show him that ever again...
If you want to tease him, just stick your tongue out at him
Octavinelle
Azul Ashengrotto
You were talking to him in his office. You were scolding him into releasing Grim from another contract. Then, he saw your tongue.
Oh? He didn't see you as the type to get such a piercing!
He likes it as much as he refuses to admit it, but because he likes it… His grimy brain creates an idea
He decides to make a contract with you in order to save Grim from a school-life of servitude!
He asks you to stick out your tongue for him.
You think the request is strange, but you watch him pull out a Golden Scroll.
"For our agreement, and the sake of Grim, you may only wear the jewelry I give you. Til' death do we part."
It's you or Grim, Prefect.
Jade Leech
You were venting with Jade after class in the library. Of course, the moray was listening. But he was also staring directly at your mouth.
“I see…”
He would nod his head along as you vented over something that happened between you and another student
Seeing your mouth curled into a frown and then having it open back up to show the piercing embedded in the soft flesh of your tongue
It was like a child’s game of Peek-a-Boo!
He thought it complimented you very well, you were like a clam opening up to show off a pretty pearl at the bottom of the sea
But now you were sobbing, he missed part of the story during his day dreams
Jade was silent as he listened and nodded along, allowing you to cry into his shoulder afterwards
After class, he brought you a gift.
Something sweet, and a new piece of jewelry for your tongue. It looked like a pearl
Floyd Leech
You aren't sure what happened before this, but Floyd was holding your mouth open with his gloved fingers. Tucked away into the kitchen of the desolate Mostro Lounge.
He’s staring at you so intensely…
You might gag on his fingers…
His thumb rolled over the stud through your tongue in silence
He didn’t think his Shrimpy was the type!!!
You’re trying to get him off of you but he’s sitting on top of you now
And Floyd is heavy
“Does it feel good? Really good?”
You don’t understand his question but your eyes widened in terror as Floyd started to smile
He’s already sticking out his tongue to find out if it ‘feels good’
Bite him if you don’t want this!!!!
Scarabia
Kalim Al-Assim
Please, have dinner with him! He loves your company and eating with you is so much fun! He wants you closer! And of course, why turn down free food? You arrive and eat with Kalim. And when he goes to feed you something he likes, he sees your tongue.
He’s seen piercings like that in pictures, never real life!
He likes it on you! But he won’t say anything as he feeds you with a smile.
Part of him doesn’t want anyone else to make this discovery, so he keeps feeding you and hogging you all to himself
“Prefect, try this next! Oh, and this! Let me feed it to you!”
He wants your mouth full so no one can see your tongue.
He wants to get his tongue pierced after tonight… So that way you both can match
Jamil Viper
He was scolding you in the kitchen for partaking in Kalim’s tomfoolery. Another party?! Who do you think is going to be making the food for said party?! As you prepare an apology, Jamil sees something in your mouth. And he grabs your chin.
His eyes are scary… You didn’t even get to say sorry yet!
He’s silent, staring at your mouth and taking in the sight of the tongue piercing
He likes it. He likes it a lot.
He lets go of you with a huff, turning away and pulling on his hood to hide his eyes
“Don’t go along with him anymore, now help me start cooking. Or else.”
You help Jamil cook, well, more like he’s having you taste test everything now. All while staring at your mouth
Maybe he’ll pierce his tongue too
Pomfiore
Vil Schoenheit
Vil asked you to play the role of his assistant since Rook had mysteriously fallen ill and Epel was at Magishift practice. When you first arrived at Pomfiore to assist Vil, he grabbed you by the face. Squishing your cheeks in his strong grip.
“Firstly, that piercing of yours must be up to standard for Pomfiore. What you have in now is unacceptable for my dress code.”
He didn’t like it. Not one bit.
It looked cheap, and Vil is not a cheap man.
He apparently had known you had one via Rook offering him some gossip about the Ramshackle Dorm Prefect. So, he was prepared.
Gold with amethysts, surgical steel with diamonds, titanium with rubies, all of them looked to expensive to replace the plain silicone one you wore
He laid the studs out on his vanity and commanded you to pick one of the many choices
And for insurance…
He’ll be putting it in and taking it out for you
Rook Hunt
Rook knows everything about you. From the shape of your eyes to the length of your toenails. He’s studied you and learned about everything. And today, during his study session, he learns about a piercing you have in an interesting place.
Oh, to hide such a thing from his eyes! So prude of you!
He watches you all day from windows and on top of the school roof, seeing you speak, yawn, laugh, catching sight of the tongue piercing
It’s interesting you chose to pierce your tongue, why not pierce your ears? Your belly button?
Your mouth is such an intimate place…
“Maybe a kiss from my Trickster will be even better with such an ornament. Très bien!”
Epel Felmier
Epel isn’t too familiar with piercings. He knows about getting a hole poked through your ears. But your tongue? That’s all too foreign! You showed him your tongue just for fun.
He’s shocked!!!!
That had to hurt, right?
Epel is rough and tumble, but getting something stabbed into you doesn’t sound very comfortable
“How do you eat?”
His accent comes out a little as he begins to admire your durability and strength to get your tongue pierced
You explain to him what healing was like, and it seems to move him with your strength and perseverance!!
You’re so much cooler now!!
He wants to get his tongue pierced too!!!
Maybe…
Ignihyde
Idia Shroud
You came over to play co-op games with Idia since he needed an IRL player two for this game. He would ask Ortho but, the content isn’t something his younger brother should see! As you played, he caught you laughing during a cut scene, and noticed your tongue.
“The Prefect is an M.”
He didn’t mean to say that out loud and the tips of his hair were turning bright pink.
He apologized quickly and corrected the statement to say you were a master at the game!
The rest of the time you shared with as spent with him thinking about your mouth
He had no idea that you had such a piercing in the first place!!!
How many people have seen that piercing before him?!!?!!! The people of the internet have told many tales of what people with tongue piercings can do!!
He wants to ask you about it some more, but he feels too awkward to try…
Ortho Shroud
Ortho is sitting with you while Idia is on his PC! Hang out in the big brothers room! You decide to show Ortho something ‘cool’! So, you stick out your tongue!
He is concerned because it looks like it hurt!
He thinks that you’re really cool… He wishes he could get something that cool, like an ear piercing!
He asks that you go with him and Idia to Sam’s shop sometime to buy earrings! Then, if you guys are brave and Idia says it’s okay…
Ortho wants to pierce his ears!
“Let’s get matching earrings for all of us!”
Diasomnia
Malleus Draconia
You and Malleus often spend time together at night, taking late night walks around campus since he’s most active at that time. With all the time spent together, he sees something in your mouth.
Malleus grabs your face gently so he can look inside with squinting eyes.
“Child of Man. May I ask what has made its way through your tongue?”
He assumes a spell had gone wrong during class, maybe you’re cursed?!
He offers to release you of said curse but you explain that it’s just a piercing. Something to make you look cool!
He doesn’t get it… But as long as you aren’t cursed he will appreciate your choice to decorate yourself in a way that you like!
Lilia Vanrouge
Lilia was all for piercings and alternative forms of fashion. So noticing your tongue was pierced made him light up!
He thinks it looks great on you! So charming!
Lilia mentions how he worries about being too old to get such a piercing
It won’t be as stylish on him as it is on you
“May I see it again tomorrow?”
He wants to admire you more and more and eventually starts buying you things to wear in your tongue
Gothic studs in different styles and colors, all reminiscent in style of the fae who gifted them to you
You notice a decline in people talking about your tongue piercing the day he gave you a stud with L.V printed on it.
You thought it stood for Little Vampire…
Silver
He had fallen asleep in your lap in the woods behind the school. You didn’t want to leave him there so you waited for him to wake up. When he woke up, he slammed his head into your chin from the force of him sitting up. Now with your tongue bleeding he apologized and looked you over.
Your tongue has something in it and now it’s bleeding (looks like it’s bleeding)
“Sorry! Is that from me hitting you?!”
He thinks the piercing was something caused by him hitting you in the chin
You’re confused, disoriented, and honestly not in the mind space to ask questions right now
He walks you to the infirmary and continued to apologize
You forgive him and he sits with you, thinking of ways to save you from the curse in your tongue,
Silver just has to figure out what kind of curse it is
Sebek Zigvolt
He was yelling at you. Why? You forgot. You were tired of him screaming at you. You decided to shout back this time, and he was silent. But not for your choice of words. But choice of piercings.
“WHAT ON EARTH IS THAT?!”
He’s yelling again already
What happened in life that caused you to choose a tongue piercing?! Why?!
Such a horrible and sultry thing, people will get the wrong idea about you!!!!
You wanted to smack him for not listening to you, and choosing to just scold you for something irrelevant
It’s not like you pierced it for him, so he shouldn’t care!!
But saying that… It made him quiet
And he turned away with a frustrated huff

High Level Review and Critique
So like Kalim is the biggest example of this, but to be honest, None of the students (barring Ace to an extent) was taking this seriously enough
They were acting like it was the Ghost Bride and it was just another Haha HeeHee HooHoo adventure with silly shenanigans
EXCEPT, they did it in the context of Pinocchio's Pleasure Island - literally the one franchise that featured human trafficking and the bad guys were never caught on screen
So right away, there's a BIG mismatch between how the cast is approaching and how high the story's stakes are. Because the cast don't seem like they have Any stakes at all. They're fucking trolling Fellow through most of it for being a school hater. REALLY?!? Thats your topic of choice when you're about to be sold as a living puppet???
Kalim gets most of the attention for not taking this seriously enough. But I really think most of them *werent*. I mean look at Ortho! Look how they murdered my boy! Youre telling me that theres a jamming signal powerful enough to block Ortho?? Youre telling me - he didnt automatically dodge the falling glass?? Youre telling me that he didnt plan to take out the snipers that destroyed all flying things so they could leave??
There were so many things that they could have done if they were taking it seriously. But they werent. They treated it like a light hearted adventure when its really not?? They all decided to martyr themselves for vague reasons that they couldnt hide from enough puppets??
I mean... Leona's capture was just fucking tragic, come on...
Part of it is like sure Fellows magic is keeping them light hearted. But it doesnt help the dissonance that the audience feels. Because going back to Pinnochio, my boy was PANICKING. That scene is high octane nightmare fuel bc the boys were so scared!! We see none of that... None of the boys (except maybe Ace) was like scared at all...

If it's ok I have a suggestion for twisted wonderland: vice dorm leaders with a reader who has the quirk of momo yayorozu?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
vice dorm leaders with MC who has momo yayorozu's quirk
{headcanons/scenarios}
Gender Neutral! MC
Warning// Minor skin exposure mentioning(?)
Note// Ortho's headcanons are platonic- I’m also adding the reader to have a similar personality as Momo- (Bc I luv her so much,,,)

Tumblr media
Very chill boyfriend, but of course, he would look away with a slightly embarrassed flustered look whenever you have to rip your clothes when summoning an object-
Casually but politely covers you with his uniform blazer if necessary-
plz reassure him that you can also make your own clothes quickly- he’s actually worried that you’ll catch a cold haha- 😅🥺
He may not notice himself, but Heartslabyul members already can tell you’re his favorite and you get the privilege to be the first-taste tester for most of his baked delicacies,,, 😋
(some have to be taste-tested by Riddle ofc-)
You and Trey having big sibling/parent energy in the Heartslabyul dorm-
But also embrace yourselves for the teasing given by the students who call you mom/dad-
they won’t shut up once the topic of you two having married couple vibes is brought up,,,
At first, he found the discovery pretty shocking since you haven’t reveal your unique magic or some special ability until one day-
Trey// Oh- this is strange,,, where did the cookie cutters go-
Y/N // *creates two cookie cutters out of your forehead *
Y/N // Here you go.
Trey// Ooh! Thanks, buttercup.
Trey//
Trey// (Wait-)

Tumblr media
Pretty much Ruggie trying to come up plans to scare Leona in order to wake him up-
Such threatening him that he can just come to you to fetch for a rifle and shoot at Leona’s ceiling-
Ruggie would call you a “savior” with happy anime tears as he doesn’t have to buy certain items or supplies when needing it if you’re around-
he still needs to buy food groceries tho haha-
He has the passive chaotic “hehe I have a super cool lover” energy-
Besides your abilities, Ruggie can get too mischievous and playful with you- Like leaning his head on your chest when cuddling with you-
If Leona stays as senior next year, Ruggie is going to have a backup plan and skip a year quicker by having more studying sessions with you in advanced subjects-
(pretty much thinking ahead and wanting to skip a year already with you hhhh-)
___
Tumblr media
Jade pretty much was well aware to not mess with someone who can actually summon weapons at any moment- no matter if it’s small.
Summon a giant fish net and his boss, Azul, will probably get intimidated and defensive for his amusement-
You’ll either get along with his twin brother Floyd or be annoyed by him-
Floyd likes to play catch with you and your fish nets and other fishing tools you can make at the Coral Sea- which makes Jade feel glad that two of his favorite people are getting along smh,,,-
Jade is now your butler boyfriend who would prepare treats and snacks with you whenever you invite your friends for tutoring lessons,,-
Not also pampering you with food and giving you sugar-coated words so you can create more beans and supplies for you two during beanfest-
He’s confident enough that you can protect yourself, but he still plays his boyfriend part to watch your back as well,,,-
Always a gentleman around you and treats you like royalty- I feel like you’re the gn! girlboss and he is the malewife as couple dynamic I’m sorry-
___
Tumblr media
He may not show it but he enjoys spending time studying with you- You’re a hardworking person which is very admirable,,,
Definitely the type to spoil you with food so you can make a lot of stuff pt. 2
You’re pretty much one of the few people who he can talk to about serious topics-
Surprisingly, he would at first feel shy and super respectful around you- hear me out, you’re not an ordinary person after all-
You pretty much would try to stop him from trying to strangle Kalim whenever something bad happens-

Jamil// …Is it alright if I get a bazooka…?
Y/N // Definitely not alright, Jamil-san, especially if you try to commit royal assassination-

Having a quirk to create things out of your skin? Beauté!
Technically worshipping you everywhere as if you’re the second god/goddess of the room (Vil being the first-)
Going fanboy almost frequently- and then he would switch into hunter mode whenever someone stares at you wrongly,,,-
He always tries to get any chances to pepper any part of your exposed skin with kisses if he can, to the point he looks like he’s getting too intimate with you-
Of course, he’s a gentleman, the last thing he wants to do is make his beautiful gem to feel uncomfortable,,,
He prefers to target your knees, feet, nape, throat, back, shoulders, and above your chest-
He would once in a while sneak ammo out of you during beanfest if you both are in the same team-
Probably super cool moment of you both synchronizing in a fight or flight situation-(if fight, you would lend him a mini crossbow as he quickly takes it out of your chest- booba crossbow-)
(feel free to bonk him if he ever makes you feel uncomfortable hhhh-)

Tumblr media
{Platonic}
Sugoiii~!!! Finds you super cool! ✨✨✨
Starts calling you big sis,,,,
Ortho would innocently asks if you can make certain metallic materials for his brother to use for his body modification updates.
pretty much a very curious child, so he would ask a lot of question and at least get some answer-
If a student tries to talk bad about you and you quirk for being strange, Ortho will go serious mode as he hears it within 5 tables away from him- sternly scolding them to not talk bad about others and specially about you-
bonus points in making the student apologize if you were actually around to hear that- 😭🥺

Tumblr media
Pretty skeptical at first that you show some unusual amount of skin until he learns about your quirk.
I can imagine seeing him being low-key impressed, but fascinated enough to want to learn more about your unique ability-
Mischievous boyfriend pt. 2, would go clingy on you whenever you cuddle-
Loves to give a long smooch on your nape or any exposed part of your skin.
Goes chaotic if he ever learns that you can also create weapons too hahaha-
Randomly gives you requests if you can create a launcher for him with a concerningly polite, happy smile-
Y/N // *summons a metal staff out of your bare arm *
Lilia//
Lilia muttering// Wait. That’s actually hot-

I want to see your ideas and HCs of a fem!MC in nrc is that's not too much to ask. I'm curious.
Fem Yuu
Okay, I am gonna preface this by saying this is probably one of the only times I will write for a full-fledged cis Fem reader. This is a Trans/Male/Enby blog, and as such, this will also be tagged as Dysphoria TW since I know a lot of trans homies follow me. Fem reader does have a slight fear of men.
Oh, man. So… you're a girl in a school full of immature men with a dorm that's the embodiment of toxic masculinity… Well just stick to this handy guide on how to survive men 101 and you might just survive… maybe. Also, good luck, you are going to need it.
When you were summoned, it was a good thing your robes were way too big for you and hid you well, even with all the action you experienced, it managed to keep you hidden. After the disaster that was the opening ceremony, Crowley took you aside and realized you were a woman.
This could go two ways. He can totally announce that NRC is now accepting women! Wouldn’t that make the school look great- hey wait don't hit him, what do you mean this isn't the time for that? What do you mean it's scary to be surrounded by men? After smacking some sense into him, you go with the second plan: Hide your identity.
Chances are if you have been isekai’d you won’t have the magic or potions to disguise yourself as a boy, so here are some alternatives! (Don't actually do some of this IRL)
Beg Crowley for a disguise charm! It works like a charm to hide all things about your body, making you perfectly androgynous. Furthermore, it also hides the smell of a monthly cycle and any hormones and pheromones the body produces. All you have to do is guilt trip. It would look bad if a student got hurt, right?
It's binder time! Can't get a binder? No problem! Just wrap your chest with as much duct tape or bandages as possible, when you can barely breathe, you know you’re done! Be sure to wear lots of perfume to hide any scents too!
Fake body! There are a lot of wearable silicon suits out there! Just get one for your torso and face and bam! Good luck when it gets hot though!
Sam, though a businessman, is a very good man. He can definitely give you a few remedies to changing or disguising yourself. Who knows, you might just strike a deal with him.
Present yourself as a trans-guy, femme enby, or just feminine man. You just have to deal with transphobia on top of misogyny. Have fun!
And if none of these work? You're shit outta luck.
You think you can tell Grim, your roommate? Absolutely not. No one can know, not even your closest friends. They're loud and unreliable. They would let your identity slip at a moment's notice. Thankfully Grim is an idiot and doesn't really notice anything. After all, you've seen how some of these guys talk about women… 
So you hiding your identity should be where this guide ends. However, you as the MC can never have it so easy. Congratulations! You were revealed to be a woman! Here are some pro tips to deal with the creeps and some notable behaviors from our faborite characters.
The ghost bride event has shown us none of these men know how to interact with women at all. Even the most mature of the cast seemed to get nervous around women. Yes, even the gentleman Trey is unsure how to interact with you at first but unlike everyone else, he quickly gets over it and realizes it's not a big deal. Riddle, Vil, Ortho, Jade, Jack, Rook, Kalim, Jamil, and Malleus are the only ones that realize this.
Silver and Lilia get a category of their own as they are very polite and it makes no difference. Silver would even swear to protect you as well since he is a knight in training. Good boys.
Others get stuck in a phase where they believe they have to treat you differently now. Even when they eventually grow out of it, it does get very annoying. Especially when Sebek feels the need to try and be your protector as well…
You think that Ruggie’s and Leona’s fear of women would give you a break. You are wrong. It makes your interactions with each other feel stiff and grating. You have to hold back the urge to smack them sometimes. Don’t get me started on Idia
But that's just the cast, you should really be fearing the NPCs. The Savannahclaw dorm is your mortal enemy. Even when Leon gave his dorm members a talk about not disrespecting you, his words go on a lot of deaf ears. Casual sexism and gross remarks about you are expected.
However, there are scary times when some men in general think you owe them sex for basic kindness or are very keen on the only girl in school getting them off when they’re in the mood and a lot of them don't take rejection well. Usually, you have to walk with your friends… Oh, man, and the catcalling…
Of course, now you also have a creepy group of stalker simps that seem to want to swoop in and protect you from everything. Invest in some locks around Ramshackle…
A silver lining however is the staff. Sam doesn't expect you to pay for feminine products and gives any other customer that messes with you a hard time. Hell, he even employs you so you can also get some cash to be able to take care of yourself with. 
Vargas doesn't go any easier on you, however, he does keep a very close eye on you during PE, just in case any boys get ideas… He takes it upon himself to teach you self defense.
Trein has had daughters before, and sees you as an extension of them. He has you in the front of the class so he can look after you easier and is often one to help you walk home. He knows how bad young men are these days and is just doing what he would do for his daughters. You’re allowed in his classroom anytime and he is sure to report any man who gives you a rough time.
Crewel is similar. He also keeps an eye on you during classes and sits with you with your friends. He may even hold you back after class to check in on you or show you a few different potions that could help with your situation. “Stop, you dog! Unhand the lady. You poor fools know nothing about class nor respect. For your punishment-“
At least now you can really see who your true friends are. The ones that don't treat you differently and look out for you make you feel grateful. You still are hoping for the day you can get out though.
The media will eventually pick this up. A magicless girl at an all boys academy? They just have to get the scoop. No one blames you for hiding in your room rather than dealing with paparazzi or reporters trying to invade your space. However, the super-personal questions paired with remarks about your appearance or talents being plastered everywhere online isn’t good for your mental health. You want to go home.
Stay tuned for survival guide 2: How to survive the Media! (Spoiler Alert: You don't.) And good luck Fem Yuus!

Can I request a scenario with fem!MC wanting to hangout with idia because they have the same interests as him? They also like anime, gaming and robots.
Tumblr media
hey anon!! i've decided to adjust this request and make this a post regarding a gender neutral mc. it's no fault to you! i just feel like anime, gaming, and robots shouldn't be so highlighted for a fem! mc because everyone enjoys these things!
idia was used to being alone, messing around with his own contraptions, playing video games, and watching anime. there was something so entertaining about watching pixels on a screen.
seeing ortho for the first time completely blew your mind. you were just amazed at the technology and the possibilities that opened up before you.
back in your home world, you were the president of the robotics club and you helped your school win nationals in robot battle competitions.
on top of that, you also liked video games and anime. common interests most definitely. but for video games, you definitely leaned towards roleplaying games. they just had a much better charm than action oriented games, like fps.
twisted wonderland was not what you expected. they had a whole culture that you immediately dived into discovering. different anime, different video games, and most definitely different kinds of robotics and technology.
“ortho, lemme see your arm.”
it was more advanced than anything you had built ever!
on more than one occasion have you helped fix up ortho when idia wasn’t available. his little brother always came back with a cheerful expression on his face. “big brother look! (y/n) fixed my arm!”
“huh...” he inspected it. “not bad...not bad...”
you quickly grew close to ortho and began talking to him, treating him like a little brother. he said something unexpected during alchemy class one day. “you would like my brother. you two should hang out!”
“your brother? idia?” you raised an eyebrow. the prefect of ignihyde?
“yeah. you two are the same. you like robots a lot, he does too. you like anime, big brother likes anime...maybe too much. you like video games, big brother likes video games. except you talk to other people while big brother stays in his room.”
“i see...where is he?”
“he’s not out today. but he’ll be out of his room tomorrow!”
you terrified idia because the first thing that happened when he got to class was you approached him and asked to hang out. he almost had a panic attack.
since then, he’s averted from your every move. you’re just trying to ask if the two of you can hang out but he somehow gets away.
it took you a good two weeks before you managed to get him. “idia!”
“ah! what do you want!” he almost dropped the bottle of potion liquid. perhaps it was a bad time to approach him during potionology.
“i just wanted to ask if we can hang out. ortho tells me we have the same interests.” you smile.
“oh...yeah...” he pours some liquid in the cauldron and watches the color of the liquid change. “i saw the work you did. it’s not bad. could use a bit of an improvement though. but that might be because the technology here is different.”
“well that’s right. so are you free this friday?”
“i...i guess...”
“okay cool i’ll see you friday!”
“what!” idia accidentally added an extra drop of an ingredient and the cauldron exploded. “...shit...”

•Kalim and Lilia walking on their way to mirror dome to return to Dormitory. Both of them had fun with Cater in Music club and hangout together. But then, Kalim yelp when something is fall above his head. It was Tsum Kalim.
•Even TsumLilia also appear next to Lilia's shoulder. Kalim and Lilia surprise see a version Tsum looked like both of them, Lilia still remember of Sebek borrow TsumSebek in their dorm. Kalim already did text message to Jamil that they found another Tsum-Tsum, TsumKalim suddenly do dance like "Hamtaro Dance" when it listen to Kalim's ringtones.
•Perfect timing for Azul who's found both of them in NRC statue area, Azul can't believe TsumKalim does looked like Kalim. Comedically, TsumLilia falls on Azul's head like pounce when Azul thought it is only Tsum but actually two. Lilia did smug and impressed see TsumLilia playful mischievous to Azul.
•Azul also had a similar like himself, TsumAzul. But, he is still bit trauma the moment he has experience with TsumFloyd, so he want to join Kalim and Lilia to Headmaster Office for instructions to take care these Tsum-Tsum.
•TsumKalim keep dancing on Kalim's shoulder whenever TsumKalim listening his ringtone phones. As for TsumAzul, Azul still make sure TsumAzul safety, Lilia told him it will be fine same like how take care own children.
•Everyone is already gather in headmaster office, including Ortho, Rook, Deuce, and Jade. Dire Crowley mumbles that he can't believe it that these Tsum-Tsum is back again, Crowley upset he doesn't have a free time because of these.
•Dire Crowley is now feel suspicious, these Tsum-Tsum could be break the barriers parallel between their world and Tsum-Tsum world from above sky. It is really confusing how Tsum-Tsum looked like NRC students with same personality too.
•When everyone still discussion about it, the Tsums make formation pyramid pose together. Kalim did told those Tsum-Tsum do not fall down even they're flexible and small.
•Azul suggest that those Tsum-Tsum will return tomorrow night, same how other Tsum-Tsum do. Dire Crowley make announcement to tell them take care those creatures until tomorrow, Kalim, Rook, and Deuce can't wait to hangout with their own Tsum-Tsum.

•Ace whine at Deuce for make trouble on babysit another Tsum. Deuce complement to Ace to stop scold him and TsumDeuce like treat both of them like meddling kids. Ace admit that TsumDeuce and Deuce is really similar alike.
•Better than standing in NRC statue, Ace and Deuce with TsumDeuce goes to the cafeteria to get some snacks. Deuce confuse why two students from Savanaclaw keep staring at Deuce and TsumDeuce.
•The two Savanaclaw students mocking to TsumDeuce, saying so small with silly face like Deuce. Ace already had a bad feeling these big guys is going to bully Deuce, Ace told Deuce don't causing trouble again.

The Girl From Night Raven | Twisted Wonderland AU
Chapter 10: Walk of Shame
Warning: strong language, mild sexual content, a little angst
a/n: It's been a while huh? I have been dedicating myself to my main blog, but I don't want to forget about these series. I probably won't post very often, but don't worry, this blog isn't dead. Hope you all enjoy this little chapter.
(The Girl From Night Raven Masterlist)
"Aren't you gonna get ready? We have class, you know?" Leona asked, buttoning up his yellow vest in front of the mirror.
"You never go to class, you're the biggest slacker in school, why are you so excited to go today?" Ilse cried, trying to use her blazer to hide the fact that her shirt was totally ruined from the night before. "Why did you have to rip all the buttons? You're such an animal..."
"There, take one of my shirts, it might be a little big on you, but it's better than this."
She begrudgingly followed his advice before heading to the door with a huff. "Wait five minutes before you leave, I don't want people to see us walking together."
"Why is that?"
"Because they'll think we're dating."
"Would that be so bad? Who cares what people think anyway?"
It was true, normally Ilse didn't care, but she had way too much pride to admit she drank from the water she said she would never drink, an expression her mother always used.
"Look, if it means that much to you, then fine, go ahead first."
So that was what shame felt like... Never had Ilse felt more embarrassed than leaving the Savanaclaw dormitory in that huge shirt that spilled out of her blazer and her hair even messier than usual. Without making eye contact with anyone, she headed straight to class, taking her seat between Ace and Jack.
"Ilse! Idia and Ortho are crazy looking for you," Ace exclaimed. "Where have you been?" 
"I- I... Leona needed help with potions, I was tutoring him," she cleared her throat.
"You tutoring Kingscholar?" Jack grimaced. "Thought you couldn't stand him."
"I can't, he's disgusting and smells like wet fur, but he... Paid me! He's rich, so I don't feel bad taking money from him, especially when I have to hear his blabbing all night long."
"I didn't think he would need help, he's actually really smart-" Deuce murmured.
"NO MORE QUESTIONS OKAY?" she snapped, resting her head on the desk. 
"After the first period, make sure to let your dorm leader know you're okay, also Kalim, Malleus, and Floyd are worried sick so see if you can let them know too," Jack whispered.
Ilse groaned and rubbed her eyes in frustration. Not only she had made what might've been the biggest mistake of her life, but she also managed to worry her best friends, upset her dorm leader, and potentially ruin her chances with three really nice guys who actually liked her and treated her well.
—————————————————— 
As Ilse walked into the cafeteria for lunch all eyes turned to her. As soon as she sat by one of the empty tables, a small crowd gathered around. Floyd and Kalim being the most enthusiastic members.
"Are you okay, starfish?" Floyd asked. "Did something happen to you last night?"
"Nah, I'm totally fine, not a scratch. I was just tutoring Leona for some extra cash," she tried to sound as relaxed as possible. Virginity was a social construct, right? Girls usually 'break' their hymen way before they even have sex, by riding a horse or a bike... Right? It's not like he had to be this big part of her life from now on.
"Really? Leona told us he was tutoring you," Kalim frowned in confusion.
"Leona... Tutoring me? Yeah like that would happen," she scoffed. "All that matters is that I'm here, I'm fine, nothing bad happened."
"You're right," Kalim smiled softly at her. "We were worried, glad you're okay."
Malleus was on the other side of the room with Lilia and the other Diasomnia members, they always isolated themselves for some reason. Ilse raised her hand to wave at him and he nodded, heaving a sigh of relief knowing his favorite mortal was okay.
"I should probably find Idia and let him know I'm alive," she got up, not able to finish what was on her plate, which Ruggie immediately noticed and took advantage of, stealing her tray as soon as she left.
Idia and Ortho were, of course, at the dorm. After Ruggie's confession about Ilse's safety, they were a little more relaxed, but they still hadn't seen her and the Ignihyde dorm leader started wondering if she actually decided to change dorms like he suggested on the day of her selection. 
"Ids? Idia?" Ilse knocked on the door and he nearly had a heart attack. 
"Ilse?"
"Yeah, it's me, can I come in?" 
"Uh..." That had never happened before, usually Idia could communicate just fine through the door and there was no need for him to look into anybody's eyes, he was fine with that. But for some reason this time he wanted to look into her eyes. "Yeah, sure."
Ilse slowly opened the door and stepped inside his room. It was a mess of food containers, manga, video games, and dirty laundry, but it was cozy at the same time. Idia sunk in his chair, blushing when he saw her come in. She was probably gonna think he was dirty or something... He shouldn't have said yes.
"Hey, I just wanted to see you face to face to apologize for last night. It was very irresponsible of me to just disappear and not tell anyone, especially you, senpai," she said, the sincerity in her voice nearly making his hair explode in pink flames.
"I-It's fine, we were just worried that something might've happened to you," Idia murmured. "I'm glad it didn't. Ortho mentioned something about tutoring, right?"
"Right."
"You're not a very good liar, you know that?" He said. For someone who avoided human contact at all costs, he was very perceptive. He knew it was none of his business where she was and what she was doing, but he still wanted to know. "But you don't have to tell me the truth if you don't want to."
"I'm not- if I tell you something, do you promise not to tell anyone?" She asked quietly.
Idia nodded, unable to tear his eyes away from her blushing face. That was probably the most adorable thing he had ever seen, she looked like an anime character. "Who would I even tell?" He shrugged.
"Okay, so... Sam from the store gave me a chocolate and it turns out it had a true desire spell in it. I ended up going totally insane and marching to the Savanaclaw dorm."
"True desire? So your true desire was to spend the night there?" He asked confused.
"Idia, please don't hate me! I- I spent the night with Leona and I can't tell anyone else, but I trust you and I respect you and you're the only one I can talk to about it!" Ilse finally said and fell onto his bed, crying her eyes out.
"Oh! You... Spent the night with him? Like together in the same bed? Doing... Stuff?"
"Yeah, and I barely remember anything, but now I'm scared that stupid potion prophecy is gonna come true," she sobbed and Idia, against his better judgment, got up from his gaming chair and sat down next to her, gently rubbing her back as if trying to soothe her. "I can't believe I did that, and with him! This school is crawling with cute guys, nice, respectful guys, and I-"
"I'm sorry, Ilse," he reluctantly wrapped his arms around her. It had been ages since he actually hugged someone. The last time must've been when he went home for the holidays, but something about her telling him such a personal secret, trusting him with that confession, made him feel closer to her. "You know, you did nothing wrong, you were under a spell. And even if you weren't, that's not a crime or anything, you don't have to be ashamed."
"Yeah, but it was a true desire spell, that means something."
"I know, but you can desire lots of people, doesn't mean you have to marry all of them. I mean, I have a dozen waifus at least! Why can't you have a few husbandos?"
"What?" Ilse looked up at him confused.
"Look, what I'm saying is that you can find several people attractive at the same time, you might want to... Do stuff with them, but it doesn't mean you love all of them. So what that chocolate made you do wasn't really that serious. It was just one of your true desires, maybe if you ate another one today, you'd end up somewhere else."
"Wow, Ids," she wiped the tears from her face. "I never thought I'd hear something like that from you. Where did you learn to be such a good confidant?"
"Just because I don't like talking to people doesn't mean I can't give good advice, when you listen as much as I do instead of just talking, you learn what people need to hear."
"If I didn't just mess up monumentally and all that, I'd kiss you right now," Ilse admitted. "But that would just make the tangle even bigger."
"Y-yeah, totally tangled, I get it..." Idia's flames started to heat up more, turning a bright shade of pink and he couldn't hide how much that statement messed with him. He had a chance with her? 
—————————————————— 
"Hey, kitten," a low growl made Ilse nearly scream as she worked on her homework at the library. 
"Leona, don't call me that!" She hissed, pushing him away.
The lion boy huffed and took a seat next to her. Ever since that morning, he'd been wanting to talk and maybe understand what would happen regarding their encounter, but she had been avoiding him from the moment she left the room.
"So, we're just not gonna talk about it?" He asked, resting his legs on the table.
"Talk about what?"
"You know what."
"Then no, we are not talking about it," Ilse looked up from her book with a hollow grin before turning her head back down.
"I can't believe you're gonna let this silly hatred ruin something nice. We had a good time, you really don't remember anything?"
"Well, over the last few days I've been remembering, but I'm not enjoying remembering it."
"Are you sure?" He smirked, flashing his bright white teeth. "Because you were very into it that night."
"What is your problem, Kingscholar?" She slammed the book shut. "Are you in love with me or something? Why won't you leave me the fuck alone?" 
He gaped at her words, how could she even suggest he was in love with her? That despicable, bossy, stubborn, arrogant herbivore? Who does she think she is? 
What he felt was definitely not love, it was nothing, it was an animalistic attraction created by the rollercoaster effect she had on him. Sometimes she was nice, sometimes she wasn't and that certainly left him confused.
None of that explained why he hated to see her with other boys, why he nearly lost his shit when he caught a glimpse of her kissing Kalim, why he felt like strangling Floyd anytime he saw that lanky fish boy hitting on her so desperately. But Leona just chose to ignore all of that.
"No! You wish!" He exclaimed instead. 
"Then what do you want from me?"
"I don't even know, just forget it. I don't give a shit about you, Gothel, maybe you just put a spell on me or something. That little song you sing when you make people do what you want."
"If I were using my Siren Song on you, you'd be long gone."
"Or maybe that's what you want me to think, because you are the one who is in love with me!"
"Yeah, keep flattering yourself, stupid cat," Ilse scoffed. "If you don't get out of my face in five seconds, I will use the Siren Song to make you jump from the rooftop."
"You wouldn't..."
"Flower glim and glow, let your power-"
"Fine, you psycho!" Leona was about to get up when he spotted Malleus coming towards her table and instead draped one arm around her.
"What are you doing? Take your dirty paws off me."
Malleus didn't seem intimidated by the gesture. Instead, he took a seat on the other side, elegantly crossing his legs, unlike his opponent. Mal tilted his head, waiting for Ilse to notice he was there. 
"Spit it out, lizard," Leona growled, tightening his grip around her shoulders. "What do you want?"
"Malleus!" Ilse covered her mouth after calling him way louder than she anticipated, her heart nearly racing out of her chest. "Hi, what's up?"
"Lilia heard it from the first years that you spent the night being tutored. I'm so glad it was all a misunderstanding, but I just had to check on you, mortal child," he explained.
"I wasn't being tutored, I was tutoring. When would I ever need academic advice from mister fail-a-lot?" She laughed. "But yeah, I'm okay, sorry I just disappeared like that. I wasn't really myself last night."
"And what were you studying? If you don't mind me asking, of course."
"Female anatomy," Leona wet his lips. 
"Shut up..." Ilse whispered, trying to break free from his embrace, but he was too strong.
"You seem upset, did something happen?" Malleus asked.
"Do you know what popping one's cherry means, you scaly bastard?" Leona countered with a shit-eating grin.
"No, what does it mean?"
"It means Ilse and I had sex that night. That's why she disappeared and spent the night at the Savanaclaw, because I was fucking her brains out."
"Leona!" She kicked his shin and finally managed to push him away, standing up. Her eyes filled with tears and she felt so embarrassed she could just faint. "You had no right to say anything, it was the spell."
"Calm down, meat, everyone would eventually figure it out. What are you so scared of? Your sycophantic followers won't kiss your boots every time you walk into a room? You just wanna keep every boy in this school wrapped around your fingers and never really pick a boyfriend. You're just like your grandma and your mom."
"Fuck you! Second-born piece of shit! It's a good thing you'll never be king, all the people of Sunset Savanna are very grateful for that, you tyrant!" She snapped before running out of the library to hide in her bedroom. She would rather die than cry in front of him or hear what Malleus had to say about this whole thing. 
Truth is that she felt disrespected, she knew the moment people heard the news, they would think less of her just because she was the only girl around.
"How could you do this to a lady?" Malleus finally asked, knowing better than to chase after her. He understood better than anyone that sometimes people just needed to be alone with their own thoughts.
"What? Fucked her? She asked for it," Leona smirked. "And she loved it."
"No, expose her like that," he frowned. "I don't really mind what happened between you and her, that doesn't change the way I feel about Ilse, but after this ridiculous display, it certainly changes the way I feel about you. It isn't my business what you did or didn't do, I worry about her safety and her happiness, something you don't seem to care about."
