Heya!! I loved your ask of Thais and Vane! I’m just reading my way through your oc list at the moment and I’m curious about what our ocs would think about each other. 💝
Hello, luv~!!
AAAAAAAAA GLAD YOU LIKED MY LITTLE ASK 💖!!!
And apologies because my OC list is.... very much not updated orz Hopefully, that will be mended soon
Now, about what my OCs think about yours~
-- --
Vane Millingwood
Thais Admante: Respected upperclassman she appreciates very much!! She admires him and vibes with the tending to plants and self-image issues asdff If they become friends, it's definitely through nature. Also, I noticed they're dorm mates AND club mates!
Blake O'Hare-Hill: He probably gets word of Vane through Thais. Blake thinks he's a bit too shy, but who is he to speak when bunny is super quiet. He treats Vane politely when they have to do chores around the dorm together. My bunny also likes a good rest under the shade of a tree~ A friendship could be possible, yes. Or even something simple like being "resting buddies", Vane is free to join him under a tree if he spots Blake
Onaga Sei: my eel boy probably sees the least of Vane, only when they're in club do they see each other. Sei likes to explore the world, and Vane appears to be someone that keeps to himself very tightly (aka not leaving his room/dorm much). One thing's for sure, Sei will be very interested in Vane's anatomy! He'd be like "caterpillar, merfolk...caterpillar-folk?" he doesn't know how to explain it fdks but he's curious to learn about all that. Polite, but please excuse any invasive or weird questions he might ask.
Xeron Bhatt: another one that knows of Vane through Thais because Xe's with her at all times. A serious stern fae, politely greets Vane if they cross paths. If Vane gets used to his presence around Thais, they could become a small group of friends/acquaintances. Xe likes nature and can happily bring Millingwood some tropical plants from his hometown if he's interested. They could sit in silence, but the silence probably feels awkward due to both of them being a bit awkward. Still, I can see them becoming friends!
Koron Admante: this one knows him as "the caterpillar guy". They've probably shared classes through the years, maybe even been teammates a couple times? Koron has good opinions of the boy, but would like him to be more outspoken. Their relationship is probably just that of classmates. Koron is on the loud side, so that's probably why Vane keeps some distance from him.
Jet Fletcher: He's never seen someone like Vane, to be frank. Like Sei, is curious about the type of bestfolk(? he is, but Jet will research on his own. Fletcher treats him politely, but that's it. This boy is serious, two-faced, quick to anger, I'm sure Vane can feel something is off with this 1st year. Thankfully, they're dorms away from each other. Jet has yet to find a "use" for Vane. Until then, he will let Millingwood be.
Zion Oum: This one, this one!! I can very much see Zion becoming friends with Vane! Zion is quiet, but knows how to speak his mind and quell the nerves he may get when speaking in public. He's overall very chill and welcoming. He's curious and, if Thais recommends Vane as someone to ask about plants, he will heed the advice. Always polite, always calm and patient, always respectful of Vane's boundaries. If Vane struggles doing a daily task, Zion is already working on an invention to help him.
Tzuriel: Took one look at Vane and immediately figured out a lot of things about the boy. For Tzuriel, it's get answers first, then see if he asks questions. This boy hacked into school records and got all information he needed about Vane. But no one needs to know that~ He will greet Vane all smiles and friendliness... But you can feel that, right? That cold and calculating aura coming from Tzu? Yeah, keep your distance, Vane, it's better that way. Like Jet, Tzuriel has yet to find something about Vane that would pique his interest to go pester the shy boy.
~~~ ° ~~~
Ceridwen Christides
Thais Adamante: Sympathizes with her due to also being thrown into NRC out of nowhere. Thais likes helping others, so she's happy to lend a hand to Ceridwen with anything she may struggle with. Sees the girl often when in the science club and helping Crewel (Thais sometimes helps the professor when she can), so she's always sure to greet her and ask how she's doing. She will teach Ceridwen how to brew defensive potions if asked. She's amazed by how Ceridwen found a way to protect herself with something made by her own hands, very clever and creative!
Blake O'Hare-Hill: Oh, a potential reading partner and someone with whom to analyze story details? If Ceridwen needs someone to tutor her with magical history, Blake is her guy! Will approach her only if he sees she's reading one of his favorite books, be it fantasy or real history books. Treats her with respect and in a friendly manner. He would like to be friends!! ...but how can he do that...
Xeron Bhatt: This awkward boy will take THE LONGEST time to come near her. In fact, it would be her the one who needs to approach him. Worry not, like Sei, he will answer anything she's curious about or needs help with. He's aware he looks intimidating to some, tries to keep himself down to not be perceived. Xe wishes not to bother the girl, so he's happy not being too acquainted.
Onaga Sei: He sees her around Octavinelle and the Lounge often, but prefers to keep his distance. He is aware he isn't... the most normal looking person. The last thing he'll want to do is scare the girl and make her even more afraid of this new world. If approached, he gives her a curt nod and answers whatever she may ask him, but nothing more, nothing less. and if he sees her in trouble... he will do as much as he can to help her out of it! Just let him see her embroidery, that will be a surefire way to befriend him!
Koron Adamante: One of the 3rd years she can approach for help without being afraid of having to give something in exchange. Koron is friendly, open, on the extroverted side, smart. Really, if she needs help with anything, he's happy to help as much he can! He understands the stress she may be going through, won't approach right away, will let her come over when she feels like it or needs aid. Treats her the same way he treats Thais and his underclassmen.
Jet Fletcher: He likes the way she thinks and searches for logic within magic. Maybe she can be useful in the future? Better keep a closer eye on her. She's with Ashengrotto... definitely useful. Jet will use his friendly and charming facade with her, see if he gains her favor.
Zion Oum: one of the 1st years she can rely on. Chill, intelligent, helpful... but Zion gets a little shy around girls because he has not much practice talking to them. Still, he will lend a hand if ask, help explain the laws of this world to her
Tzuriel: Well, hello~ A totally new person he cannot investigate about... what a wonderful challenge! Tzuriel will catch her off guard and ask all sort of questions to find out who she is, what the world she comes from is like, what information she knows from Azul... Charming, friendly, playful, he will even spoil her with some beauty products and accessories, anything that can get him interesting information and gain her favor! Just don't be surprised if he ends up betraying your trust, Ceridwen~
~~~ ° ~~~
William (Billy) MacUrse
Thais Adamante: She's intimidated, quite very much sjlkd He reminds him of the meanest Scholar back home. I JUST NOTICED HE'S A 2ND YEAR TOO JKDJA Anyways, she tries to keep her serious demeanor when speaking to him, that's her default when talking to new people and people that intimidate her. "You don't know the guy, don't make assumptions about who he is and how he behaves." She tells herself. She wouldn't want people to assume about her, why would she do it, yanno?
I can see her stumbling upon him mimicking the cries of birds when out in the forest. What an amazing talent!! can i say she find him attractive?
Blake O'Hare-Hill: Intimidated 2.0 You can't blame him, can you? He's a small bunny boy afraid of fighting and getting picked on. Regardless, he thinks of himself as open and polite, so he will treat the boy with due respect and politeness... does try to keep their interactions short, however.
Onaga Sei: Sei sees nothing wrong with the guy, why are Thais and Blake scared of him? Something tells me my eel won't try to befriend him, but he will make a lot of questions about being bear beastkin (like how he interrogates Vane). Who knows, though! Maybe they can become friends? Sei is more than fine with that outcome! But if Billy sees Sei as an annoyance.... that might fuel Sei to be EVEN MORE annoying! Curious little deep sea eel he is~ Unafraid of it all
Xeron Bhatt: Club buddies, they've probably talked a couple times. Xeron would be very curious to see how he fares in combat against Billy, Xe with his bare hands as he's used to and Billy with his weapon of choice (or hand-to-hand combat, if Billy would like). He would also be interested in learning from the guy, to wield weapons or hunt or archery, really anything. These two could be friends, yes yes! Honestly, Xe probably acts friendly towards William because he's very interested in learning about him and from him.
Koron Adamante: Admires his talents and skills with weapons. Koron used to practice archery, but let it go bc it was pushed onto him. Something tells me he would make a random comment about Billy's aim or posture (whether good or bad) and be like "Wait... what? Ah, sorry, didn't mean to interrupt or criticize you... Uh... I'll go now." Koron can adapt himself to being what Billy would like to befriend: loud and friendly, loud and cocky, or more toned down and serious. I'm unsure how Koron could be a responsible upperclassman in MacUrse's eyes, but he will try to be one!
Jet Fletcher: Strength, power... He needs that for his goal. Jet will make himself someone Billy would like to challenge in some way, thinking that that challenge will lead him into becoming acquainted with the bear. Once Jet gets to know Billy more closely? Full respect for the guy.... but he will still use him for his goal, and keep him as a friend, if the older boy permits him.
Zion Oum: This guy's too shy to approach him. Simple polite greetings if he sees the 2nd year with Jet, but that's all. Not afraid of him, but can't say he's interested in acquainting himself with Billy.
Tzuriel: What's this? Family drama?! Give me that! Tzuriel gets his nose aaaaaall up in Billy's business as he researches the boy. He's no fool, however, Tzu knows not a peep will leave MacUrse if he's asked about his family. Seems like C4ST0R will have to do a deeper search and discover things by himself. ...He also doesn't want to risk getting punched on his beautiful face dfklg
~~~ ° ~~~
Basil Balanaga
Thais Adamante: Oh dear... Thais? Or rather, an easy target for Basil? With her having friends in Scarabia (meaning, she visits the dorm frequently), loving to lose herself in nature, and being fellow 2nd years, both of them interacting through the day is very likely. When I say she's easy to fluster, it's because it's EASY. She may not be super easy to hypnotize, but to toy with? Yeah, very much. She tries to keep her distance, but she's too curious and has never seen a naga before! Excuse her wandering eyes and occasional staring "His hair is also super pretty and long... I wanna play with it!"
Nervous when around him, but keeps her "professional" front... as much as she can before she blushes
Blake O'Hare-Hill: HE WILL NOT APPROACH, NO, NOT AT ALL. He's seen the flustered mess Thais turns into, he DOES NOT WANT. Will try his hardest to not be picked on, HE WILL SACRIFICE ANY OF HIS FRIENDS FOR BASIL TO PLAY WITH TO SAVE HIMSELF (and of course that ends up being Thais 90% of the time bc it's the only one he can push forward). Has an agreement with Sei to keep him safe in one of the eel's spheres when they're together and can't get away from the naga. jifjvifo He's so silly isn't he?
Onaga Sei: At first, he thought Basil was an eel fjkjvks "Long tail? That's an eel!" Because his merfolk form has a LOOOONG tail. Sei is also fun to play with, won't get flustered but he's kinda gullible. Once he understands Basil is a python, naga better get ready for the strange questions Sei makes. They could potentially become friends? I'll have to know more about Basil's personality to tell for sure. For the meantime, Basil has fun playing with Sei and Sei has fun raining weird questions at Basil.
Oh! This guy will want to see Basil shed his skin! Finds it cool, wants to know how it happens
Xeron Bhatt: Basil may not be in the best of terms with Xe because of how he pokes Thais. Still, the redhead fae will keep things polite between them, they're dorm mates, after all. If they get to know each other, maybe their relationship can get better? ...or maybe it can get worse lol... We'll see!
Koron Adamante: Also keeps his distance and keeps an eye on the boy bc protective older brother towards Thais. due to this, acts a little cold towards the naga... but sometime, sooooometimes.... he tells Basil how exactly to rile Thais up.... but you didn't hear it from Koron!! He's unsure how to connect with Basil, so their relationship develops slowly, but I'm sure Koron will eventually warm up to him
Jet Fletcher: Hypnosis and stealing of magical power? He needs that for the future. Will approach Basil as an "innocent underclassman who needs guidance of a reliable senpai"... but I'm sure Basil senses something hiding under that, right? If he's forced to speak in his trance, Jet will reveal the truth of his plan. It will then be Basil's decision to put up with the boy's plan or leave... But Fletcher doesn't give up easily
Zion Oum: Good luck trying to fluster or play with him! Zion is one of my most aware OCs, hypnosis won't work so easy on him. Frankly, he would rather keep his distance from Basil, but Jet... he may bring the naga around. Zion will be a challenge to break, but his discomfort is evident when Basil tries to get near him. Regardless, Oum remains polite to his upperclassman.
Tzuriel: Honestly... he's disappointed by what he first found out about Basil and family... bu then he saw the medical records~ Overblot, huh? Don't mind his incessant proding for information about what happened back then~ Tzuriel is also very aware of his surroundings and consciousness, good luck trying to hypnotize him. He will probably erase Basil's memory of his anger and irritation towards Tzu, if he can get close enough when the naga is off guard (that's Tzu's UM, ability to erase select memories)
I'd like to see these two try to "out charm" the other, or act like the two popular girls at school that act like bffs but as soon as their backs are turned pure distaste comes out their mouth lol
-- --
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT !!!!!!!
WOW THIS WAS A LOT
Hope it helps you get a better idea of how my OCs behave~
and may I say.... I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR OCS THEY'RE ALL SO COOL AND UNIQUE AND PRETTY, HANDSOME FJISOJISOGJF
I AM... LOOKING.... AT WILLIAM (and Basil a bit) 😳💓
Thank you for your ask~ 💖
Hope to see more of your babies soon!!

(I just read Anastasia’s bio, and I’ve just got to say that she’s so cool!! To make her a mermaid with teeth that regrow like a great white shark is such a quirky character design. 💖💖💖
I’ve seen a lot of your art reblogged on @sugarandmelody ‘s blog, and I’ve just got to say I love your style! The one where she’s in her merform with idea is *chef’s kiss*)
Since Anastasia’s in Octavinelle, do you mind if I ask what she’d think of my honorary-Octavinelle OC Ceridwen?
Thanks, I'm so happy that you like her! thankful that @thecurrator thought of it as a crack headcanon, and I thought, 'wait a minute... a bunch of sharks can do that...' and went ahead and made it a thing 😂 (*punches ana and knocks her teeth out* Ana two weeks later: you thought you could ruin my image permanently? *flashes a smile* I'M GONNA BITE YOU-)
Awww thanks that you think my art style is nice 👉👈 fsahfshsahsjhhj 💖 not sure which one you mean- if you mean the fully colored one that was made by the lovely @/sras-is-doing-something as fanart <3
hmm, let's see what she'd think of Ceridwen 😳
Anastasia would be quite curious about this new person. She could see her from a distance; she can't help but notice some of the things she does,
'what is she doing with those mirrors?'
Ana will pretty much be too shy to approach her or ask her where she's from. So she can't really cure that curiosity, she might end up accidentally stalking her if she somehow happens to be nearby, whoops!
she's curious, that's all, I swear! >.< "
~~
During her housewarden's overblot, she was horrified but fascinated...
Then
she saw that new person again, holding the mirrors.
'She's... She's using them to deflect the attacks?!'
now Ana's really interested
for a second there she forgot that Azul was overblotting, instead she focuses on the ingenious use of the mirrors, wondering why she's never thought of something like that before.
TBH it's easy to catch Ana's attention if she finds you smart.
Even if you aren't or are very different, yet you end up being friends with her, there'll still be a new perspective she'll want to learn about.
She might still have trouble trying to approach her, but at least now she has a newfound respect for her. Kinda glad that the new person wants to be an honorary Octavinelle member, she doesn't know why.

Hyello! Sorry if this is super outta nowhere-I'm absolutely in love with your writing! Your TWST OCs are super creative and actually got me wondering your thoughts on their perceptions of my two: Albert and Yuu.
I would say, off the bat, Al would be VERY conflicted with Basil-my boi loves the 'Deep Pressure Therapy', but abjectly hates having his will/consciousness wrenched outta his hands (long story).
And Yuu would 100% trade a few bowls/plates of homecooked food (and be an open ear for complaints about Crowley-they have a few grievances, themselves) to have a second to oggle at Ceri's gauntlets
Ooooh! An OC ask? Don't mind if I do XD.
Can I just start by saying how much I adore the dorm uniform designs for your ocs? Now I wanna draw Ceridwen in it! It's the perfect combination of shabby-chic that Ramshackle def needs to have.
Plus, thank you for the comments you left on some of my recent posts. Your words made my day :)
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Basil can’t possibly allow the prestigious dorm leader of Ramshackle to get burn-out, or worse succumb to the stress of his duties and have a mental breakdown...is what he would say. In reality, Albert’s stress is a goldmine for the snake. 
All Basil will think about when he sees Albert is getting his tail around him. But won’t that trigger his fear of losing control? Panic is no good to Basil. Stress is what he deals in. 
His solution would be to hypnotise Albert first. 
Once Albert is hypnotised he won’t realise that he not in control. As the stress seeps out of him he’ll only fall deeper under the spell, and probably wake up not remembering a thing.  
(Also, Basil’s nickname for Albert would be Hare. Why? Hares are swift creatures and Albert’s time-slowing UM would make it seem as though he was moving faster than everything else. And Albert’s vain side will also remind Basil of the tale of the Hare and the Hedgehog).
•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•
Ceridwen wouldn’t just show her gauntlets to Yuu, she’d offer to make them their own pair. No food or therapy required. The inspiration behind making the gauntlets was her hatred of being defenceless, and with Yuu being magicless too, she won’t sleep until they have a pair for themselves. 
However, food and therapy are more than welcome in general. 
Ceridwen does have a tendency to isolate herself at NRC because the imposter syndrome of being magicless at a mage school is stifling. (Help this girl, she’s homesick and nervous 24/7 despite appearing cheerful). Any food Yuu makes her will be appreciated, and if they want to rant about life to her, she’ll listen for hours if needed. (Expect UK vs US jokes, too)!
Yuu will probably become to Ceridwen like Luz is to Eda in the Owl House. Must protect. If Yuu is in any sort of trouble, she’s there - big sister mode: on. She’d even run in front of an overblot for them.

Part one of some writing @squidwen inspired me to write:
> C’mon in, I just need to grab something off the stove
>Hey, Nice to see ya. I have seats in the kitchen
They waved a hand for their guest to follow. It was a rare sight for anyone on campus to see Yuu’s eyes under their dark ringlets. Yet their first guest, that wasn’t Ace or Deuce, had been greeted with a clear, kind face framed with a bandana. They already had a seat pulled out for Ceridwen, one of the few salvaged pieces from before renovation. Yuu continued the conversation they’d instigated earlier in the day, picking up from where the two left off. 
>So you remember how you got here? Lucky
>Weird, the closer I think about when the carriage took me, the less I remember
“That’s certainly odd-hopefully it won’t be necessary information for when Crowley sends you back,” she replied. 
Before her, Yuu placed a tray of something delicious-smelling between them to nibble. She missed the name of it, but whatever it was, it had to taste better than any of the chain-restaurants could simulate back home. Home…
>Ya mean if?
A tick of silence. Yuu was the first to break the tension with a snerk and a dismissive shake of their head, inviting Cerid to join in. 
“I swear, how did he become Headmaster?”
>Beats me; Birdbrain has me running ragged, half the time.
>Wouldn’t we both like to know? The amount of times I had to keep myself from chucking this at him…
They had drawn out a small sandal and juggling it before placing it back. It seemed to have received a bit of use based on the condition. With another piece of their shared snack they directed a look towards the gauntlets nestled on the table. 
“I’m sure you’re capable with that. I, on the other hand, find it a bit easier with these. They can be a bit…cumbersome at times, but one takes what they can get,” she relented. “But, don’t think me rude; it would make me feel a bit better knowing you had a pair for yourself, even as a backup.”
The two had known each other for at most, a couple of hours, but already their heart began to swell. It was always nice to see, let alone be reciprocated, that parental attitude they’ve been known for in two worlds now. The bandana had come off, once again hiding their features under a curtain of dark ringlets. Even so, the weary smile creeping up their face told all they needed to say.
>Name your price, amiga~
>Ya know? I’d like that. Can I pay you back, at least, for it?
“Hmmm,” Ceridwen’s feigned contemplation didn’t go unnoticed. “Maybe another tray and the recipe for these, and maybe another day like this where we can swap home stories?”

Hello hello~ Don't mind me asking some silly little questions about your characters!
Let's see~
1) How do your OCs fare in flying class? Is someone afraid of flying/heights? Is someone enthusiastic about it? Do any of them have a particular style or pose (like how Cater and Leona stand on the broom, Idia and Floyd hang off it, Jade hugs it, etc.)? Does anyone use something other than a broom to fly?
2) If you had to pick only one, which canon character do you see being your OC's closest friend?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I like this! A lot of my characters would have difficulty straddling a broom due to their lower bodies not being humanoid....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vane and Basil would struggle the most with it. Vane would prefer to wait until he turns into a butterfly for flying (which he never intends to happen, but it's as good an excuse as any) to avoid getting on a broomstick. Cater and Trey usually have to find him and drag him to flying class. But, since they're busy third-years, they often don't have time. Vane chills out in the woods and watches from afar. "I wouldn't get on one of those things if you p-paid me."
Basil can't ride a broom. Even if the stick was thicker to accommodate his weight, the length of his tail is too awkward for him to ride it properly. If it slipped off, he would plummet straight down. However, Kalim lets him borrow his magic carpet. Basil's 'pose' when flying is to drape his tail near all the edges of the carpet so the weight is balanced.
Billy and Seth are the most adept when it comes to flying a broomstick. Around Billy's manor house, brooms used to be enchanted by the maids. Billy would hop on one and delight in his brothers' shocked faces as the broom tried to buck him off like a rowdy horse. Riding a broom reminds Billy of those times and it makes him a fast and ruthless flyer. He grips the broom tightly, makes sharp turns, and dips like he's reliving those same days.
Seth is more relaxed with his flying technique. He hooks his feet around the back and grips the stick with his elbows. This enables him to use his hands for reading, writing homework, or stitching. Azul is rather jealous about how an octomer like him can be so good in the air. (No doubt he's thought up numerous ways to rope Seth into a contract). Seth has actually tied red ribbons to the back of his broom so he can fly in style~
Jonah doesn't take flying seriously. He's modified his broom with an autopilot feature so he hasn't got to think about it. This doesn't make him very nimble in the air, but he's not interested in a career in flying so he just curls his tail around the broom and falls asleep with the stick between his shoulder blades. If he gets knocked off/falls off, the broom has a homing device and will chase him and catch him before he hits the ground.
Ceridwen? On a broom? She'd rather use a broomstick to sweep every room of NRC than get on one. Where are the seatbelts? How do you steer them? How do you control their altitude? Where are the BRAKES? In fact, one of Ceridwen's first days at NRC went something like this:
Ceridwen: *sweeping the halls for Crowley with a broom she found in a cupboard.*
Lilia: *drops down from the ceiling* "You're using it wrong, dear~"
Ceridwen: "Ah! Well how else are you supposed to use a broom?”
Lilia: *takes it off her, sits on it, and flies upwards.*
Ceridwen: 
Tumblr media
And finally, Tallis IS THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SHOW OFF! After Vargas taught him that you fly on a broom by sitting on it, and not by using your wings while just holding a broom, Tallis couldn’t stop thinking about the performances he could put on with a broomstick. For weeks he was glued to Magicam watching videos on how to do barrel rolls, loops, corkscrews. Have his new skills made him a lot of jealous enemies? Of course. Has it made him a lot of adoring fans? Tallis’d like to think so. He’s left it to Cater to post clips of him doing tricks. As any self-respecting artist knows, you shouldn’t let the reviews bog you down.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In answer to your second question, when it comes to canon closest friends with my OCs, I reckon it would look something like this: 
Vane --> Trey  
Billy --> Sebek
Ceridwen --> Azul
Basil --> Kalim
Seth --> Floyd 
Jonah --> Deuce
Tallis --> Rook
I hadn’t thought about this before. Some of my answers actually surprised me.
Thanks for the questions @zackcrazyvalentine 
They were really thought provoking!

13. You’re given an unlimited budget to build anything you want!  What do you build and where do you build it?
How about this for all of your ocs? :3
OOOOH! Interesting one! A more platonic ask than others I've received XD
Link to ask list here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
13. You're given an unlimited budget to build anything you want. What do you build and where do you build it?
Vane wasn't sure. He'd spent almost two decades growing plants big enough to live in, but actual buildings and facilities weren't something that had ever crossed his mind. "Well, with an unlimited budget to bui-build whatever wherever, I guess it would be greenhouse skyscrapers in industrial cities. The vegetation would ta-take all the CO2 out of the air, and make the skyline clearer and cleaner so p-people with lung conditions suffer less. H-hope that’s alright.”
Billy's face split into a wide grin. "I am but a humble bear, but if I had to choose it would be a manor house in a roche-moutonnee next to a tarn and a mountain forest filled with fir trees. I would rebuild the home I was promised miles away from any lynching little half-brothers and stepmothers. And with the change...I'd fill every room with the finest tapestries."
"Simple," said Ceridwen, not looking up from her notebooks. "I want to build a functioning portal to take me back home safe and sound. Whether or not I would like it to be a two-way portal is another matter. If so, I would want it built in Ramshackle so I could come and go as I please. If not, then I don't care where it's built. It...depends on whether or not I’ll miss the people here more than I’m terrified of magic.”
"CHAIR LIFTS!" Basil bolted upright off his tail. "I would have a chair lift built on every staircase in the world, my dear. Do you have any clue how agonising it is being a naga? Living in a world built around bipedal folksss? Oh? You thought I would have the chair lifts built for the elderly? Well, they would certainly benefit. I wouldn't discriminate and not let them use them. But stairs and tails don't go hand in hand."
Seth sneered. “What a ridiculous question! You really ought to announce yourself when someone is working. I almost poked myself with my needle.” Sighing, he set down his darning and thought seriously on the matter. “If I could build anything anywhere it would be a submarine that turned into a water-tight caravan. The world may be 70% ocean, but the remaining 30% is so diverse and full of inspiration for clothing lines I hope to create one day.”
“Ain’t much I want that I ain’t already crafted,” said Jonah, wiping the oil from his overalls. “But, it I had an unlimited budget and space, I guess it would be a town in one big building. Back home, you gotta drive everywhere. If you want bread, a new shirt, a doctor, you’d better get behind a wheel. I want something, ‘bout the size of a mall, where you can just go downstairs or up a corridor and it’s there. Every need satisfied. There’d be a cinema, a baker, a mechanic, a vet, a butcher, a drycleaner, swimming pool, a gym, a sweet shop, a farm...” and on and on until you eventually backed out the door. 
Tallis opened his mouth with each new idea that came to mind, but no sound came out. He kept having one better than the last. “Well, I’ve always wanted a theatre...no, wait- I think instead I would build a factory that makes parachutes for eggs. Yes! That’s the one! Did I mention I’m adopted? Fell out of the nest as an egg and if it hadn’t been for that river I would have been breakfast for the meercats. That thought...never leaves me.” His eyes went wide. “I want every parent to rest assured if their egg is unlucky enough to roll away, it won’t smash because a parachute will float them safely to the ground. Then I can expand into more niche markets! Like, training wings for fledglings, or taloned boots in case their actual talons break during a hunt or something.” (Azul is lowkey listening somewhere XD)

Alright! I have a serious question here-
In a scale of 0 to 10, rate ya bois hugs >:3c I maybe wanna hug vane, basil and seth here-
I am so glad you asked!
Alright, so, I'll go from worst to best.
Vane gives the worst hugs out of all my OCs, a solid 1/10. Due to having antennae, he is very sensitive to anything that moves around him. Being hugged would make him tense up. Besides, the way his family 'hugs' is by touching their antennae. So, if Vane's antennae pat the top of your head it's as intimate as he'll get.
Seth's hugs are 2/10. Being a fashionista, he's all too aware of how easily a lot of fabrics crease. It would make him cringe to hug someone in linen or velvet and step away to see that he's ruined their look. Seth is dainty when it comes to embraces. He'll probably just squeeze your hand if he wants to show his appreciation for you. But if you're caught underwater with him, he'll squeeze your exposed skin with his tentacles to mean the same thing.
Billy is next. First off, you have to earn a hug from the guy. He only hugs those he deems an ally by impressing him through feats of loyalty and strength. When it comes to the hug itself, it's a bear one. I rate it 3/10. It will feel like he's trying to realign your spinal discs. If you're too weak to handle his embrace, get back in the gym and build that muscle! Billy: "No excuses. There's no such thing as being too strong."
Jonah comes in at number 4. His hugs are 4/10. He's not against hugging people, but getting him in a situation for a hug is near impossible. He's often so busy working on projects, with music blasting, that he won't notice that you want one. Plus, his scales are rough, he's usually coated in grease and oil, and from not being practiced in hugging, he's awkward when it comes to holding people. (Not a pleasurable experience.) Affection from Jonah is mostly just hearty pats on the back or ruffling your hair.
Ceridwen can give a decent 6/10 hug. She prefers handshakes, but if you get close enough to her that your relationship upgrades to hugging, hers are firm and friendly. She'll probably rock you from side to side briskly after removing her gauntlets so she doesn't hurt you. If you ask for a hug out of the blue, before you're close with her, she wouldn't want to make things awkard by refusing but you can bet it'll quick.
Tallis's hugs are almost top on the list for how creative he gets with them. 8/10 is what he scores. If he has you in his arms he'll press you tightly to him, flap into the air, twirl, and flutter back down; grinning. But...all the best actors have range~. He's known to give hugs that incorporate dips, dancing, teasing as he pretends to try and escape you, and tackles. Don't worry though, he'll flap his wings before you hit the floor. No harm done.
Finally, Basil takes first place with 10/10 hugs. Balanagas don't cut corners when it comes to embracing people. Whether it be nature or nurture from being cuddled with his parents' tails, Basil will wrap up your legs in coils while his arms hug your upper half. Being an apprentice chiropractor, he will be able to feel your musculature from a simple touch and know how tightly he can squeeze you. He may tease you by squeezing you slightly too hard, but what are you going to do? Struggle? There wouldn't be any point. And if Basil is cold, he'll ask if he can cuddle you for warmth. His tail is surprisingly comfortable. When it's not flexed, it feels like a memory-foam pillow, so feel free to do homework or read while he tries to not die of hypothermia.

Yo yo yo!
(pls gimme a lil flick on the forehead if I'm being square-brained and sending an ask I've already sent you before - my memory go brrr lmao)
I was wondering if I could ask how each of your OCs feel about hugs! I have an OC, Masayuki, who has strong arms (and a lot of muscle in general tbh) and a bit of a higher body temperature than most - and he's a big hugger, so I like to ask people this question.
It's a bit fluffy, and I get to share thoughts about hugs! (And hopefully I can share some serotonin too, hehe (◕ᴗ◕✿)
-fluff
(No flicking of heads down my neck of the woods, sweetie! Don't worry. You haven't sent me an ask before. Hello btw :D Welcome to my blog! You literally couldn't have asked a better question. I've been thinking about how my ocs would react to hugs).
Vane Millingwood
It was moments like these when Vane could pass for a woodlouse. His first instinct was to curl up. He felt nauseous; his stubby legs trembled; his antenna curled and uncurled frantically as he wracked his brain for escape tactics. "Get off!" he exclaimed, wriggling like a worm on a hook in Masayuki's arms. "Get off me! Let go!" The sensation of someone's touch made his blood recoil from his skin. No doubt Masayuki could feel how scrawny and bumpy Vane was in certain places. The places he hated. Jackets and baggy shirts couldn't hide him from hands, and the Caterpillar almost collapsed form nerves.
Billy MacUrse
The bear beastman had been caught off-guard by the sudden embrace. Was this a surprise attack? Had Masayuki gone in for a headlock? Even though he wasn’t applying any pressure, Billy wasn't about to take any chances. He straightened to full height and puffed out his chest; pectorals expanding and prying Masayuki's arms off. Masayuki barely had time to blink before he was slammed against the wall. "Touch me again, ye wee varmint," Billy grumbled, his forearm veins throbbing as he strained to keep the muscular man in place, "and I'll rip yer arms clean outta their sockets."
Ceridwen Christides
As with everyone Ceridwen first met in Twisted Wonderland, she was extremely cautious. Her adrenaline spiked as Masayuki closed his arms around her. However, she didn’t want to be rude. She hugged him back with her left hand, while keeping the right balled into a fist behind her back. After a while, with nothing bad happening, Ceridwen allowed herself to relax into the hug. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d been held. So few people were so brazen. Masayuki’s warmth only helped to put her at ease, and the whole experience reminded her of her father’s hugs. She bit her lip as she welled up. “That’s enough, mate” she said, pulling away. “Mind yourself now. Cheerio.”
Basil Balanaga
The mere offer of a warm hug was enough to make Basil spring onto Masayuki. Students were always wary of Basil, for his hypnotic ways and strong tail, so this was an offer he couldn’t refuse. Instinctively, he coiled himself around Masayuki. Being cold-blooded made Basil greedy for warmth and this guy was practically a walking hot water bottle. “Don’t be afraid to ssssqueeze me a little tighter,” said Basil, tightening his grip around Masayuki’s legs and stomach. When Masayuki’s breath hitched, Basil smirked coyly. “You should have known what you were getting into asking for a cuddle from someone of my kind. Come now, don’t be shy, my little boa constrictor.” The snake lay his head on Masayuki’s shoulder and signed heavily. “Let’ssss make the most of thissss.”
Seth Trent
"This jacket is made from crushed velvet! Do you have any idea how long it took me to steam it this morning?" With his dainty arms locked inside Masayuki's, Seth turned his left leg back into four tentacles and started jabbing him in the stomach. Did this man not know what personal space was? Or that velvet is an extremely delicate fabric? Seth's gaze was piercing. Regardless of how much he teetered on one leg, or his chest heaved with indignation, his eyes delivered a constant stream of disgust. "You should be put in prison for such a crime against fashion! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't tell dorm leader Schoenheit about this."
Tallis Underplume
“Be careful, big guy. I’m delicate~” Tallis practically cannonballed into Masayuki’s arms. How could he pass up a good old-fashioned hug? Despite not being bulky himself, Tallis’s arms were toned from carrying set pieces around stages for years and he gave as good as he got. After a firm squeeze, Tallis leaned back and ruffled Masayuki’s hair. “Tell me, love, what exercises do you do for shoulders? They’re mighty impressive. Oh, I know! Let’s talk about it over lunch. The bell’s about to ring and I am NOT going to wait in a queue until the cows come home.” With a cheeful smile, Tallis burst out of Masayuki’s grip and took to the air on his little wings. “Race ya!”

(I’ve finally gotten a spare minute to sit down and write an OC interaction for you! Ever since we did the ‘how would X character react to X’ I’ve been wanting to explore them more!)💗💗💗💝💝💝🥰🥰🥰
A villain’s school was a breeding ground for bullies. That was a given. Thus, Ceridwen always traipsed through the school grounds with her fists balled and her pace almost at a run.
One morning, just as she was about to break a sweat from jogging from one side of the quad to the other, she heard a scuffling from behind a large utility box.
It was loud, but not enough to make her investigate. Probably just a bird, she thought. But when someone yelled: “Get your hands off me!” she clenched her fists even tighter, hesitated…and made straight for it.
Peering around the corner, she saw Blake O’Hare pressed against the wall by his blazer; two larger boys sniggering as they emptied his bag.
“Whatcha got in here, Cotton Tail?” one asked. His gaze lingered in a book by Blake’s father. “Aww. Daddy’s little book worm, are you?”
“See if it’s signed,” said the other. “Might be worth something.” He turned back to Blake and dragged him higher up the wall. The bunny beastman seethed as the bricks scratched his back. Why was this happening? Five minutes ago he was minding his own business.
“We’re studying one of your dad’s books in class at the moment,” the boy spat, “and nothing he writes makes any sense! I’ve written countless essays on that man’s drabble, and gotten more detentions because I couldn’t be bothered to do others.”
So what? Blake wanted to scream. The fact this boy didn’t like analysing his father’s work had nothing to do with him!
Upon hearing no reply, the boy raised his fist. “Well, runt? Seems to me the only thing your dad made was a decent punching bag-“
A metallic twang echoed around Blake as he was dropped.
Ceridwen had bashed the boy across the side of the head with her gauntlet. Like a spinning coin that’s lost all its momentum, he swayed until he collapsed flat on his back. The other one took off running.
Once she was sure the boy wouldn’t get back up, Ceridwen turned to Blake. His face was a picture of shock. “I-It wasn’t me,” she said quickly. “I-I mean, I didn’t mean to. I just…didn’t know what to do.” Was he disgusted at her? Scared? Her gauntlets were still chiming from the impact with the boy’s cranium. Ashamed, she tucked her guilty hands into her pockets. “Im not a violent person, I swear!”
Blake blinked in rapid succession to clear away the shock before making quick work of check the boy for a pulse. "Okay. At least he's alive..? Breathing appears normal."
"Hey... hear that? It ...loud." Came a faint voice. The person wasn't too far away.
Noticing the potential threat of being found, the bunny linked arms with one of Ceridwen's and fled the scene as fast he could.
After a short sprint, they arrived to a secluded place miles away from the knocked out boy. He turned to look at her. "W-What were you thinking?! Oh Sevens, let's hope there were no spying crows hanging around! We'll never hear the end of it from the Headmaster if there were! I'm sure he won't exempt you from a big scolding and punishment, eve if you're his assistant!" He spoke his worries.
However, once his blue eyes landed on her once more, a nervous and amused laugh bubbled out of him. "That... That was awesome! I never saw a punch as powerful as that before!" The laughter died down gradually. "Well, I never saw a punch with my own eyes. Fights aren't my thing."
Blake smiled sheepishly at the girl, ears flattening slightly from his shiness. "T-Thank you, really needed help back then." He said while scratching the back of his head. "Do think your actions first, though. Wouldn't want you to get in trouble."
The beastman looked at the book in his hand, ears perking up again. "Hey, I think I've seen you read in the library." Bunny cleared his throat after realizing how that could be interpreted. "Ah, sorry! That sounds strange." He took a calming breath to continue, "I just like to people watch at times, and when I see someone reading a book I like, I remember their face."
Facepalm, "That doesn't sound any better. Anyways," O'Hare tired to smooth out the wrinkled pages and bent cover from how those bullies treated his copy roughly before offering it to the brunette. "Here. I think you will like this one, from what I saw you enjoy. Apologies for... how horrible it looks now."
A shake of the head to brush away the last comment before smiling at Ceridwen. "A token of my gratitude. You can keep it. It is indeed signed, with a small note about how the story came to be on the first couple pages, written by my father's on hand."
"Uhm..." Blake hesitated once he tried to take a step, "Would you, perhaps, like to come with? It would help me not worry about that other bully coming back to get you." Nod, nod, nod. "Yes, I know I'm not good with fights, but at least you won't be alone that way. You can use me as a meat shield, heh."
Bright smile that showed his tooth gap, ears fluttering in better spirits, he asked: "So? What do you say? Library, cafeteria, or separate ways?"
-- --
AAAAAAA HELLO!!! HAPPY TO SEE YOU, WELCOME AGAIN 💖💖💖!!
I'm also curious about exploring our OCs with each other more, see how opinions change and develop! And also to get a better grasp at how your characters behave and speak/express themselves
Hope you liked this little response :D I thoroughly enjoyed your writing! Kudos to Ceridwen for being so brave! Blake appreciates the help very much uwu 💗

All to Ceridwen~
⭐️ You’re beautiful.
❤️ I love you!
❄️ You need to chill out.
😂 You make me laugh.
🛡 I’ll protect you.
⚰️ I’d die for you.
🧸 You’re cute!
(YOU KNOW WHY FOR THE SNOWFLAKE.)
Ceridwen felt more things in the space of ten seconds than she had all day; a feat considering she'd spent it running perilous errands for Crowley and chasing debtors for Azul.
"Not too bad yourself, dear," she said, a blush forming on her chalky cheeks. "And I... love you, too. However, I'd probably love you a lot more if you minded yourself more."
The shock had worn off. Ceridwen's armored hands fell heavily on her hips. "I don't want you to protect me. Why do you think I went to the trouble of making portal gauntlets? It's kind of you to put your life on the line for me, but you must be mad if you think I'd actually let you do it."
How many times did Minxie have to be told? There was no use asking Ceridwen to 'chill out' when each day seemed to bring a new threat. If it wasn't ghosts, overblots, deadlines, or bullies, Ceridwen constantly fretted about herself and Minxie. It would be odd if she didn't. Boys, ten times their strength and size, and powerful mages with curses poised on the tips of their tongue, lurked around every corner.
Minxie opened her mouth to protest, but Ceridwen pinched her lips closed.
"Compliments aren't going to mask what you just said. 'I'd die for you,' indeed. Ramshackle already has enough ghosts. And I'm NOT cute!”
With a final scolding glare, Ceridwen folded her arms and disappeared off. Why did Minxie have to be so sweet? A part of Ceridwen wished the girl was horrid - a villain - so that she wouldn't care about what happened to her.
