Yes please lol. I'd love to know what you think of Pomefiore Dorm's secret weapon.
(pomefiore dorm's secret weapon, for the curious)
OK BUT I'M SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO GET TO THIS HHH BUT I FINALLY WATCHED IT !!
first off, i already knew it was gonna be great bc it was an animatic by the all mighty promiset, who i'm a huge fan of btw, i love their art sm <3 (go check out their insta !)
i cried over adeuce and their dramatic-ass spotlights in the beginning sjdkfjs AND THEN ROOK APPEARING LIKE A HEAVENLY ENTITY THAT GOT SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN WHILE WHISTLING— i was still okay by then, crying over how sincere rook looks while whistling, but thEN I LOST IT WHEN EPEL WAS THE SCREAMING COWBOY GUY JSKDFJKSFS
when it panned over to vil just looking like the equivalent of this =.= I'M JUST— i wonder what the hell was going through his mind at that moment. neige trying to self hypnotize and convince himself that it was a nice performance.... meanwhile jamikali looking like proud parents bc THEY were the one that coordinated all of this.

Hi for requests, can I ask for a reader (gender doesnt matter) who used to be an assassin back in their home world and their interactions with the vice dorm leaders? They haven’t told anyone yet, but who would catch on?
vice dorm leaders x reader who used to be an assassin in their world (gn!reader)
Tumblr media
THIS IS SUCH A COOL REQUEST i'm gonna be honest, i've been wanting to write something about an assassin!reader for a long time 🤭
these headcanons can be interpreted as both romantic or platonic (though some of them are a bit more romantic than others). also jamil headcanons turned out to be much longer than i intended. oh well jamil simps here's your food
warnings: mentions of murders, death, weapons and some minor physical violence (such as attacking and threatening other characters)
trey clover.
♡ he actually did have a feeling that there's more to you than meets the eye. don't take him wrong, he's sure that you're a kind and gentle person, but you just have this.. vibe, as cater would say. he felt like you're hiding something and not just from him, but from everyone here. of course, he wanted to know the truth, but he wouldn't force you to tell him anything. he respects your privacy and he's sure that you will tell him everything yourself if you feel comfortable with it.
♡ he has to admit, you can be.. kinda scary sometimes, haha. you sure know a lot about poisons, you'd be a perfect pomefiore student, honestly. and you're not scared of sharp things like knives, syringes, scissors, etc, at all, in fact, you look so.. confident when you use them? but like, confident in a scary way, you look so intense when you hold those things, it's like you could kill anyone with that thing right now, haha. y-you wouldn't actually kill anyone, right?..
♡ he would find out the truth about you by accident, he would just make a joke about you secretly being an assassin because of your knowledge and your skills. and that's when you would grab him by the throat, not worried about anyone finding you since it's just you two alone right now. wow, trey knew that you're good at p.e, but your physical strength is.. truly something. you could easily choke him anytime now, you're just holding back because you want to know how he found out. and when it turns out that it really was just an innocent joke, even though trey did have some suspicions about you.. you sigh heavily and let him go. this guy has to be more careful with his sense of humor.
♡ starting from that day, you know that there's no reason for you to try and hide anything from trey. no matter how hard you try to deny it, this guy knows for sure that you're an assassin now. you have no choice but to ask him not to tell anyone and if he does tell- wait, he's actually okay with it? he simply laughs and says that he knows what you're gonna do if he tells others the truth about you, so you don't have to worry about him exposing you or anything. as long as you don't actually hurt anyone, he doesn't mind your company, he likes you a lot, actually. you're so confused, why is this guy not scared of you at all?? you almost ended up choking him to death, why does he still want to be friends with you (or possibly, even something more)? ah, it's because he's so used to dealing with those chaotic heartslabyul students that he's not really scared of anything, even assassins..
ruggie bucchi.
♡ another guy who had a feeling that you're not so innocent.. however, he's totally okay with it. he won't try to learn more about your past or anything like that. it's not like he even cares that much about it. everyone has their own secrets, after all. well, unless someone orders him to find more information about you and promises to pay him well, that's when he will actually try to find out who you really are. come on, what else did you expect from him?
♡ he can't figure you out at all, but he does have a feeling that you killed someone in the past. at first it's just something that he jokes about and doesn't take too seriously, but.. something about you just makes him feel a bit uneasy. and that's already a lot, it can be quite hard to scare someone like ruggie. you know what, he's not even gonna try to find out more about you anymore. his life is more important than that and he's pretty sure that you could easily take his life if you wanted. so nope, better safe than sorry.
♡ he would find out your secret on accident and similar to trey, he would casually go "wow, y/n, i wouldn't be surprised if you turned out to be a serial killer or something". and of course, he's wrong, you're not exactly a serial killer.. but you're still a killer. SO NEVERMIND HE IS SURPRISED. you make him fall on the ground and grab his head, forcing him to tell you where he got that info from. you promise not to hurt him if he tells you, though you're not sure if you can keep that promise. ruggie tries to assure you that it was just a joke and he didn't actually think that you killed someone- that's a lie. that's a lie, he was sure that you killed at least one person in the past.
♡ you know that other students may find you if this guy makes too much noise, so you let him go. honestly, that was kind of stupid, now that you think about it. you were an assassin in your home world, but this is a completely different world, so.. you don't have to be an assassin anymore. you apologize to ruggie and tell him that it was just an old habit. he jokes about you having very interesting habits, but right after that he quietly asks if you actually are a serial killer. you know, it's not like he's scared of you, haha.. "yes", you say, deadpan. OH. OKAY. COOL. great, he really has to be more careful with you now- you laugh because of how funny his face expression looks and tell him that it was just a joke. he almost calms down, but then you go "i'm an assassin actually". t-that's not any better, you know that?? you don't have to worry about ruggie telling anyone anything though.. well, if someone asks and promises to pay- fine, fine, he really won't tell anyone.
jade leech.
♡ ANOTHER ONE. he probably figured out your true identity right when he met you. he didn't say anything though, so you can thank him for that. he would do it only if he got something in return, similar to ruggie, but it's still not that easy to make him talk. he's the curious type, so he would try to find out more, even though he can confidently say that you have killed someone before. he wants to know the details: how have you killed that person, who was that person, are you an insane serial killer or do you have a more sympathetic motivation? hm.. maybe it was actually your job?
♡ just so you know, he doesn't judge you or anything like that. no matter what reason you had for killing that person or those people, it's your life, it's your choice, so yeah, keep slaying, king/queen/monarch <3 and as you spend more time with him, he will give you hints about knowing more about your past than you think. of course, these hints make you very nervous, but don't worry, HE DOES IT INTENTIONALLY. hehe, it's so fun to see you react like that, considering that you're very calm most of the time and don't get scared often. but hey, if you react like this, it means he's on the right track, right?
♡ when the time comes, he would ask you about it himself. and he also would do it in a crowded place, so that killing him to keep your secret won't be that easy. don't worry, it's not like he would ask this question right in front of everyone, he would do it quietly, it's basically a whisper compared to voices of other people and noises that they make. and it's enough to make you panic, because you can't really make him shut up right now. so you just ask him as quietly as he did, "what do you want?". huh? what does he mean by "nothing"? he just thought that you should know that he's aware of your "dark side". ah, and again, he just wanted to see your reaction too. this guy is more dangerous than you even though you're literally an assassin..
♡ after that, jade would raise the topic of you being an assassin only in private, unless he thinks that you're brave and reckless enough to try to kill him. you still can't believe that he doesn't want anything from you, you can't remember the leech twins being so kind. it's probably because he's not afraid of you at all, even though you've killed people before. this guy also can use magic, so.. he's probably stronger than you, even though you don't want to admit it. before you leave, he suddenly tells you that he can still tell everyone who you really are, if he wants, so.. you better behave and not try anything funny, okay? yeah, this guy is terrifying.
jamil viper.
♡ he does get this weird feeling whenever he sees you, so he tries to be as careful as he can. he also doesn't let you spend too much time with kalim, because if you do something to him.. honestly, he wouldn't even blame you, it's easy to fool someone like kalim, but if anything happens to him, jamil will be in huge trouble. he would try to find more information about you though. he probably shouldn't be afraid of someone who has no magical abilities at all, but still, who knows what you're actually capable of. and why does his heart beat faster when you're around.. no, he's pretty sure it's not because he has a crush on you.
♡ .. hey, what if he actually tries to get to know you better? you know, totally not because he wants to understand if you're dangerous or not, haha. it feels believable too, because it's not like jamil became more friendly all of a sudden. he's still his usual self, it's just that he talks to you a bit more often now. you're surprised to realize that you actually enjoy his company, but you still can't help but feel like you should pay closer attention to him. after all, you also think that jamil is hiding something. wait, maybe you should try and find out his secret before he finds out yours? that way you can blackmail him if he even tries to reveal your identity! haha, that's it, you two are besties now, he doesn't have a choice <3
♡ your interactions are actually very entertaining to watch. you two are lying to each other and pretending to be friends even though you both know that you're doing this just so that you can go "I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE" when the other person lets their guard down. kalim is just happy to see you becoming friends and doesn't find it suspicious at all :D and eventually, you two start getting closer to the truth. you start to notice that jamil's smile whenever he's talking to kalim looks a bit forced and jamil notices that you become.. very enthusiastic whenever someone mentions a murder, a weapon or anything related to that. someone jokingly asks "hey what's the best way to kill someone" and you give such a detailed answer, everyone else goes shocked. and you have stars in your eyes the whole time. yeah, you're definitely insane.
♡ so, how would jamil try to find out your secret? oh, HE WOULD JUST TRY TO PROVOKE YOU. if you're angry enough, it's possible that you will end up accidentally revealing something about yourself. he wouldn't do it in a crowded place though, unlike jade, because even though this guy is obviously pretending to be your friend and he totally didn't become attached in the process he still respects you and he will keep your secret unless.. you know, you're actually dangerous. so while you two are cooking together, jamil suddenly ruins the warm and friendly atmosphere and asks, is there anything that you're hiding from him? oh, don't be shy, he's sure your secret isn't that bad, you're friends, right? it's not like you killed someone or anything- hey. hey, y/n, you're supposed to use this knife for cooking, WHAT ARE YOU DOING.
♡ you point your knife at him and ask what does he mean by that. how much does he know? did he know about it this whole time? does this mean that.. he won? he found out your secret and you still don't know much about him, you just think that he actually hates kalim and.. that's it. it's nothing compared to your secret. but it means nothing to you, so when you mention that you think jamil is just pretending to be this nice and polite person.. he does get a bit nervous. but hey, it's not like you have any proof. and jamil can't really prove that you're an assassin because no one would believe him if he says that you tried to kill him with a knife, you're pretty popular here.. fine. you were an assassin, right? you're not actually planning to kill anyone, right? so.. how about you two make a deal? jamil doesn't tell anyone anything about you and you don't tell anyone anything about jamil. you do want to tell everyone that this guy is more dangerous than he looks, but if he promises to keep your secret.. well, it looks like you'll have to pretend to be friends for a bit longer than you expected.
rook hunt.
♡ HE IS SO EXCITED YOU HAVE NO IDEA. oh, this guy knows. he knows that you're not so sweet and innocent. oh, you have nothing to be afraid of, he's not planning to reveal your secrets or anything like that. something is telling him that you're not planning to go back to that job of yours and you want to start a new life in this world, so why should he ruin it? and also he doesn't think it's that bad, you probably did it just because it was your job.. ah, and he doesn't have any problem with you enjoying it! you had fun, so again, why should he ruin it?
♡ he still wants to learn more though. not because he wants to tell others about your past, but simply because he finds you interesting. he really does want to get to know you better. did you enjoy killing people? did you hate your job? why did you become an assassin? could it be that your reason was actually very tragic and you had no other choice? or you actually hate people and you were more than glad to get a job like that? he won't judge, you will still be beautiful in his eyes. why? hm.. let's say that you're beautiful in this "special" way. you're so mysterious, of course a guy like him would want to know more!
♡ but you're smart, it's easy for you to notice that rook's been spending quite a lot of time with you lately and he asked you so many questions that it starts to feel like he's not just being friendly with you, this guy has either figured out who you are OR HE'S PLANNING TO KILL YOU. both options are terrifying. but no matter what he's planning, you won't give up without a fight. it doesn't help that this guy's been stalking you for a while now, that's even more suspicious. it's okay though, in case something happens, you will be able to fight back. wait, actually, maybe you should be the one to make a first move?
♡ YOU WERE WRONG. YOU WERE SO WRONG. you two are equally strong, but rook still manages to win. so here you are, lying on the ground and struggling to breathe properly. huh.. this is so weird. you're supposed to feel awful, you're supposed to hate this guy or even be afraid of him, but.. you're actually impressed? you even had fun fighting him like this?? and maybe it was kinda hot of him haha- he tells you that he tried to be nice, but oh well, it looks like you had other plans and you decided to use that kindness of his to deceive him. but he still won't tell anyone who you really are, so you don't have to worry about anything. why? ah.. it's because he had fun fighting you too. things like this don't happen often, so it felt like something new and exciting to him. also, he's sure that if he does tell everyone about your past, you still won't let him live a long life and he doesn't want that. not because he's scared of you, but because he's sure you two can be great friends.
lilia vanrouge.
♡ just like most of these guys, he does have a feeling that you're actually more dangerous than you look. oh, it's not just a feeling, he's absolutely sure of it. hey, he does have a reason to believe that, this guy was literally a general, he knows a person who killed someone in the past when he sees one. he's one of those guys who would try to find out more about you just because he finds you interesting. no, he's not scared at all, he may be old, but he's sure that if you two had to fight, he would win. and you would regret trying to kill him anyway however, he makes sure you don't try to hurt other students. he wants to trust you and he knows that most of these students are strong enough, but still.. there's a chance of you becoming another person who's precious to him, so don't try to kill other people who are just as precious to him, okay?
♡ honestly, you want to kill this guy just because of how annoying he is. he is so nice to you, but he also teases you and pranks you so often that it's hard to fight the urge to just stab him right there. you force yourself to calm down and take a deep breath. you don't have to go back to your ways, you can just live a nice and normal as normal as it can be in this world life, you don't need any enemies here. also you know better than try to fight lilia vanrouge himself, you know that you're stronger than some students despite being magicless, but you still doubt that it would be a good decision considering the things this guy says sometimes.
♡ if you can't fight him, then you will try your best to ignore him. or, you know, just act normal around him. don't act suspicious, don't act like you used to be this extremely dangerous assassin in your home world who was proud of their job and was not just good, but great at it. but lilia can see right through your act and he even finds it entertaining. it's so funny to watch you try and convince everyone that you actually have a huge fear of knives right after you showed that you seem to have a talent for knife throwing. it's so funny that it's kind of cute even. keep acting like that and lilia might just fall in love with you, haha. come on, it was just a joke, don't take it so seriously!
♡ he would mention the topic of you being an assassin right after inviting you to go on a walk with him, you know, old men like him need to go outside more often, haha- anyway, you've killed people in the past, right? you want to attack this guy so bad, but you know that you can't. it would be too stupid and you know that you shouldn't underestimate lilia. so you just sigh and tell him the truth. for some reason, you feel like lilia isn't the type to expose you anyway. he's a surprisingly good listener and he doesn't interrupt you, you even find yourself wanting to tell him more about your past. you know you shouldn't trust him so easily though. when it's time for you two to go back to nrc, lilia thanks you for being honest with him and promises that he won't tell anyone about it. he actually had a lot of fun talking to you and.. he understands your feelings quite well. hey, maybe you two should be friends? oh, but can you promise him not to hurt anyone unless it's absolutely necessary? and if you try to hurt the people who are dear to him- nah, you wouldn't do that, you're too smart for making lilia angry on purpose.

lore + lucas gold plz? (I love soft giants >///<)
I put a ton of his backstory lore bits in this. Sorry its sad.
Tumblr media
Unlike everyone else in Mjestamode Lucas comes from no family as he has been in the foster care system since weeks old. He only was someone's son temporarily twice before being returned to his foster care system home after 3 months per time as a child.
He has always been a big boy which potential parents who'd come to the home would say is the problem with him. Too much effort to clothe and feed.  Probably why he was there in the first place.
Lucas began working at age 15 as a mine worker despite not being of age to. His foster home falsified his age so he could earn them money. He looked 18+ at 15 so no one ever questioned it.
A blacksmith that bought the minerals and stuff from the mine he was working at visited one day and offered him a job at his workshop breaking up raw material and smelting into usable supplies. Eventually Lucas learned blacksmith techniques from working for him. Kinda felt like a father figure to him but he had his own family so Lucas never pryed.
Lucas is trained in making standard metalworks like weapons,armor,furniture,and other metal items. However he also can do small metal jewelry like chains,piercings,spikes,etc.
He can also do pottery from clay to ceramic and likes making tiny handmade animals out of ceramic.
Lucas was determined to get into NRC due to the legendary alchemy department of the college and he felt he would be more accepted there.
Lucas was actually a Savanaclaw 1st year as he is big and strong but soon sadly it was seen he didn't participate in most activities and struggled with his classes so he was transferred out by vote. He was placed in Pomefiore where he felt extremely out of place but didn't say so. He got a tutorer to help him out with his classes.
He still was in Pomefiore up until meeting Kreo at the summoning ceremony who was concerned for Lucas as his robe was too small for him. Kreo found out this was the same for all of his uniforms and offered to help him out in exchange for nothing.
Lucas was so in awe of this he transferred to Mjestamode not long after and feels so welcomed as there was a forge area in basement of the dorm buliding for students who did metalwork. All creative aspects where covered here.
Lucas has a book that lists his 15 solid color changes he has witnessed with what he thinks causes them. He recently had 2 incidents of two tone color changes that he was shocked about. Its one of the things he works on in secret studing color theory,chameleons biology and anything else lizards beasthumans have documented about colors,moods,etc.

wooo yeah i can see how those Ace & Jamil questions can be repetitive and anoying
and they're actually kinda weird to me 'cause i think he would actually simpatize with Jamil, i mean he recognized Riddle's mom made him be like that, but didn't excuse his actions
Ace said that Riddle acting like a tyrant after staying away from her it's his own fault, but by the end he still gave Riddle a chance to make up for it and apologise, and he actually forgave Riddle later
people underestimate how hard it would be to forgive a stranger that acted irractional and forced his views on everyone and then straight up tried to murder you, especially considering Ace basically knew nothing about overblots at that point
so knowing Jamil's situation, especially because now he was possessed and forced to do some things, i think that Ace would sympatize with him, not forgive him imideatelly of course, but there would be some understanding, and he definetelly wouldn't blame Jamil for all his problems in this timeline, jamil literally had nothing to do with this(aside from is plan with Ruggie in chapter 2, but that didn't affect Ace directly)
on a side note Vil weaponizing Ace and Amzy friendship is hilarious XD like how will he even do it ? and Amzy reaction to it would be gold i can't wait to see this
Thank you for your comprehension.
As for Amzy, Ace and Vil I think you misunderstood me. It's Ace who's going to weaponize the enmity between them. A bit like this:
During the training camp at Ramshackle
Vil: WHAT HAPPENED TO MY ROOM?!
Ace: Oh! I heard you complain about the dorm's decoration so I asked the doc how to make your room feel more like Pomefiore. You know, to boost up morale and stuff!
Jamil (eyeing a very close to implode Vil) : Do I want to know?
Kalim: Hm, that seems nice of you Ace! But, Vil seems unhappy about it. Sorry but I think you missed the mark, I'm sure we can fix it though!
Vil : The potato knew exactly what he was doing!
Yuu enters the living room where this is taking place and sighs.
Yuu (To Ace) : What did you do this time?
Cut to Vil's bedroom filled from top to bottom with Amy's memorabilia. Deuce, Grim, Epel and Rook are looking in from the door with stupefied expressions.
Deuce : What even is that?
Epel : And how did he get his hands on it? Vil have those... things, locked up in the secret dungeon!
Rook: Impressive, even if in extremely bad taste. I didn't pin Monsieur Cœur as a cat burglar.
Deuce, Grim and Epel: .....
Epel: Uh Rook? Shouldn't you?
Rook: Oui, Oui. I'll rescue Monsieur Cœur from the ire of my Roi du Poison. Can I trust you with the cleaning up in the meantime?
Grim: I swear he's going to owe us for that one.

Twisted Tarot II — The High Priestess
“Right thinking comes with self-knowledge. Without understanding yourself, you have no basis for thought.”
The High Priestess, Upright: intuition, sacred knowledge, divine femininity, the subconscious mind
The High Priestess, Reversed: secrets, disconnected from intuition, repressed feelings, withdrawal and silence
He is called upon to reflect on himself and to embrace his femininity. His knowledge and experiences must be attuned with his intuition, for it is not in rejecting one or the other that he will achieve enlightenment. Open your eyes, do not shy away from your stirring realizations, and let your instincts guide you.
Reveal the Shape of thy Soul...
Tumblr media
... Epel Felmier!
Tumblr media
Mirrors were the bane of Epel’s existence.
Their shining surfaces reflected a reality he, more often than not, cursed.
He was constructed as daintily as a doll, with smooth porcelain skin and wide rounded eyes that shimmered like sapphires, hair falling in delicate lilac locks around his soft face. Even clothes seemed to hang off of his lean frame to emphasize how small he was.
Fragile, like a looking glass itself.
Epel’s mouth knitted into a tight-lipped grimace. He glared at himself in the mirror, resented it for all its shine and its ornate frame in gilded gold.
Bull fucking shit.
He was a man, a MAN, dammit!! Hot-blooded and burly and badass, not the type of person that stood and stared into mirrors, scrutinizing every feature and painting himself.
“Oh, stop making that face,” Vil tutted, a manicured hand sternly brushing off Epel’s shoulder. “It’s very unbecoming.”
“This whole thing’s ‘unbecoming’,” the first year grumbled back.
He wasn’t used to the fine feel of his new robes, how long and flowy the fabric was. They were impractical, snagging on every little thing and collecting dust like no one’s business—and the problem was further exacerbated by his dorm leader’s insistence that he begin learning how to apply makeup.
Whatever weird creams or powders Epel was handed would inevitably manifest as dubious stains on his clothes. The seniors would call him out on it—or worse, tattle—and then he would be reprimanded, wrestled, and retouched by a nagging mother hen.
Primped and polished until he glowed—or, in Epel’s case, glowered.
“Pomefiore’s traditions may differ greatly from those of your hometown,” Vil chided him, “but it is no reason to turn your nose up. A narrow mindset will do you no good here.”
The dorm leader popped open a tall vial, a paddle wand affixed to the cap that corked it shut. Dipping it a few times into the thick, shiny contents, Vil expertly slathered gloss onto Epel’s waiting lips.
“No one said I had to like this prissy, froufrou stuff,” the country boy shot back. His mouth tingled, feeling heavy and sticky from whatever was in the vial.
“And I never said you had to. However, I expect you to act with a certain level of dignity and decorum. Any bad behavior from you will reflect poorly on your dorm.” Vil passed a look into the mirror as he screwed his lip gloss cap back on. “A shame that such good looks are wasted on a wild child.”
“Good.”
Vil groaned. “It seems that you don’t realize, nor appreciate, the power that you have.”
It ain’t ‘nough if Ah can’t beat ya into the dirt yet, Epel thought. He reined back his words, didn’t dare utter them aloud, knowing that he would be chastised and lectured on his manners once again if he did.
He felt two sharp nails digging into his chin and tilting his face up. Epel’s stare met his reflection’s in the mirror, and it looked just as startled as he did to see it.
His hair was set in in whimsical waves, curling against cheeks dusted with the color of apple blossom blush. Coal lined his eyes and crushed amethyst coated his eyelids, his mouth sparkling with particles of glitter. Not an imperfection on his face, nor on his uniform.
He barely even recognized himself.
“Listen well, potato. This beauty is an asset. Your looks, a weapon. No different than your magical pen.”
“Hah?” Epel had always suspected that Vil was one apple short of a bushel, but he hadn’t anticipated to hear something so odd out of his mouth. “Come again?”
Vil sighed. “Does a warrior march into battle without first sharpening his sword? No? The same can be done with your looks. They can be accentuated and perfected, making you all the more dangerous.”
Epel’s expression turned even more dubious.
“Beauty of all kinds can be lethal, but it is often mistaken as something far more benign than what it really is,” Vil continued, waving a hand at him. “When others are drunk on the sight of you, they will never notice the poison in their glass, never feel the dagger driven into their back.
“Beauty is a poison apple.” A smirk took form on Vil’s handsome features. “Innocuous, even tempting, at a glance, but rotten to its very core if wielded right.”
“You’re saying that looking good will help me kick your ass? Somehow... I don’t think I can believe that.” Epel balled his hands into fists. His repressed words spilled out like water bursting through a busted dam. “Ain’t no way magic ‘n muscle would lose ta makeup!!”
“Accent, young man!!” Vil planted his hands on his hips and narrowed his eyes. “And another thing! Your notion of beauty is like something out of a story book: old and utterly outdated. It is time to update your fairy tales, Epel.”
The first year hesitated, but broke out into a wicked grin. His reflection followed suit, challenging his upperclassman.
“Heh. Tell that to my face when I’ve got yours buried in the dirt and your crown in my hand.”
“... Honestly, you never listen,” Vil tutted, shaking his head. I suppose that’s part of his ‘charm’, but...
“Don’t think I’ve given up, cuz I haven’t. I’ll keep kickin’ and shoutin and fightin’ ‘til I take you down!”
“Oh? I should like to see you try. I’ll turn you into mashed potato before you can even lay a finger on me.”
“Yeah? We’ll see how pow’eful yer ‘beauty’ is when yer beggin’ me fer mercy next rematch!”
“Epel, accent...!!”

Give me more answers please 😩
I want to know what my Queen did 😭
Ask and ye shall receive-
The Cast:
Mar Velour: First Year, not yet sorted
Vil Schoenheit: Second Year, strong contender for Pomefiore's next Dorm Leader
The Scene:
Vil was the first person at NRC to discover that Mar was a girl in disguise. Before the dorm sorting, Vil pulled her aside and after a bit of catty back and forth, he offered Mar a deal: become his little velvet strangling ribbon, a fairly worthy weapon against Neige, and have her secret stay safe, or refuse and be removed from NRC before her time there can even begin. She was the Epel before Epel, if you will.
Now Vil uses her secret as leverage whenever Mar even thinks about stepping out of his well-defined lines, so she acts out in whatever ways she can, determined to have some semblance of control and to get across just how much she despises the situation he put her in.

God please can I get anything with Rook hunting down his escaped darling? This man has a thing for chasing you down you cannot convince mo otherwise
I’ve been meaning to write a special headcanon/scenario post about Pomefiore to celebrate the release of Chapter Five, but,,, this’ll have to do, for now. I’m doing a disservice to the best dorm, but hopefully, some Rook content will delay by inevitable shame.
Title: The Hunt.
TW: Violence, Kidnapping, Strong Predator/Prey Themes, Implied Stalking, and Mentions of Death.
~
You really used to think Rook was just on the extravagant side.
That’s how it’d seemed when he first introduced himself, dropping to one knee and pressing his hand to his chest, declaring something loud enough and incoherent enough to draw the eye of every onlooker within earshot. Some of his actions were questionable, his gaze often leaning towards the unnerving side, but you’d never thought he was villainous, he hadn’t seemed to want to do harm. He meant mischief, as far as you could tell. He didn’t try to hide the way he watched the more particular members of the student body, but he never took anything beyond a picture. He never made a secret of his fondness for you, but his affection was a fleeting thing - he’d said as much himself a dozen different times. You figured Rook would move long as soon as something newer and shinier came along. You thought he was just having fun.
You supposed you weren’t wrong. He had been having fun. He was still having fun.
It just wasn’t fun for you, anymore.
“Mon cœur,” Rook called, the familiar term of endearment stretching into something twisted, something perverse as it echoed through the lifeless woods. The forest surrounding the Pomefiore dormitory was always dark, always daze-like, always horrid, but tonight, it felt especially misleading, as if the trees themselves were uprooting and rearranging to guide you in any direction but the one that’d lead you away from your hunter. That’s what he was now, really, your hunter. Rook had a way of making his prey feel like pets, of making you feel like a partner rather than another trophy for him to decapitate and mount on his wall, but all of those blissful lies and domestic fantasies had dissolved into thin air the moment you slipped out of your chains and threw yourself out of that elegant, stained-glass window of his. It’d been a stupid move, in hindsight, you were only doing damage to yourself and giving him a blood-trail to follow, but a lifetime of picking crystalline shards out of your skin would be less agonizing than another minute spent in his captivity. You just wished his footsteps hadn’t fallen in-tempo with yours so quickly.
“You really should come out, (Y/n).” His voice was calm, projected with the all the tranquil serenity of a man who already knew he’d won. It wasn’t close, it wasn’t deafening, but the fact that you could hear him at all was damning. It meant he’d be able to hear you, too, even if you had no plans to announce yourself so blatantly. “I know you love your games, and I do want to play with you, but staying up so late is bad for your skin, no? And you must be so tired, dear. If you put an end to this silly show of defiance now, I may even let you sleep in my bed, rather than the cage where you belong.”
You didn’t respond  - you wouldn’t have, even if you hadn’t been hiding. Pushing forward, you drove yourself to run faster, to escape both his cage and his bed. There was a clearing in your path, a spot where the leaf-canopy broke apart and the ground grew barren, harsh moonlight seeping in like an unwanted thought, but you skirted around it, following its borders until you found the spot where the foliage was at its thickest. You didn’t think as you forced yourself into the narrow space between branches and trunks and vines with so many thorns, you had to wonder if you’d die of blood loss before Rook got a chance to wring your neck himself, only pressing a hand over your mouth and doing your best to control your panting. You just had to stay put for a minute. You just had to give him time to move on. Then, you’d be able to circle back and beat on every door in Pomefiore until someone recognized you as the student who’d gone missing weeks ago. Then, you’d be safe.
Rook, on the other hand, had no reason to tuck himself away. He stepped into the large clearing without hesitation, letting out a long, labored sigh as he idly glanced towards his surroundings. He must’ve begun his chase as soon as he noticed you’d gotten out, his intricate wardrobe cut down to little more than a black shirt and an insulated, camouflage jacket, both doing leagues more to block out the biting cold than the simple button-down shirt you’d been given to wear. He hadn’t had time to choose a proper weapon, either. Rook preferred traditional bows, the kind without cogs or cables to alleviate the tension of the draw, but he was carrying a simplistic compound bow tonight, made for efficiency and speed rather than enjoyment. Made for maiming his target, rather than indulging them in their rebellion, an arrow already knocked and ready to be drawn back at the first hint of an opening. “Perhaps I should call you mon ange, instead, considering you’re so eager to fly away.” Another sigh, this one accompanied by a graceful turn on his heel and a smooth survey of the forest. His eyesight was good, but it couldn’t be that good. You could barely see your hand in front of your face, where the shadows were their deepest. “Wouldn’t it be easier to come out on your own? You know how much I hate having to drag you home.”
Liar. That dirty, filthy liar. He’d already dragged you away from Night Raven, he’d already dragged you away from your classmates and your family and your friends, and all because he was under some deluded, pathetic notion that he’d only be able to love you - truly love you - if he nailed you to the ground, first. His gaze wandered, he was the one who couldn’t be trusted to keep his promises. He’d just wanted to ensure you’d still be there, waiting for him with open arms, when he got back from all his many expeditions. He’d imprisoned you, and he’d delighted in it, reveled in the joy that came with a source of companionship he’d be able to bleed dry. He was only unamused now that you’d refused to let him cut you open.
You could feel your cheeks begin to flush in anger, your nails curling into your palms, but that did little to stop Rook from going on. Always going on, never stopping. You hadn’t realized how much you hated the sound of his voice until you’d been forced to listen. “I’ll admit, I’ve been busy, lately. Have I been neglecting you?” He laughed, the sound airy, non-commital. As if it suddenly didn’t matter if you came out, as if he suddenly didn’t care. “This is childish, is it not? I mean, I never thought you would stoop so low just to buy for my attention.”
It was so little, it was nothing, just a shift of your weight in the barest hint of a reaction, but dried leaves and twigs seemed to crack under your feet as if you’d thrown your biggest tantrum yet. You reacted immediately, scrambling to free yourself from your constrictive hiding place, but Rook was so fast, he was so ready. It was all you could do to catch a glimpse of his bow as he took aim, your efforts to escape from his line of fire turning out all-but futile. You pressed yourself against the nearest trunk, but in the end, he was the one who faltered, his arrow barely grazing your bicep, cutting through your sleeve but only leaving a thin, red line in your skin, the shallowest wound he’d ever inflicted. You allowed yourself to smile, you allowed yourself to laugh, but Rook didn’t move to fire again, only slinging his bow over his shoulder, slotting it into place as if he wouldn’t need to use it again. Not on you, anyway.
“You really should come out,” He said, one more time. “These kinds of things tend to get rather ugly when they’re not given the proper treatment.”
For a moment, you didn’t know what he meant, but before you could gather up the confidence to ask, something sharp and frigid pounded through your injured arm, stretching from your fingertips to your shoulders, and out of reflex, you glanced towards the cut. A pale, lilac fluid was smeared across your skin, dripping from the small wound, the color so faint, you hadn’t noticed it before. The same shade of purple that coated his arrowhead, even after it’d buried itself in the ground.
Oh.
That made sense. For Rook, at least.
You hardly tried to resist it, your body buckling under its own weight, crumbling until you were little more than a mass of stained clothes and writhing limbs, every part of you contorted in agony so vivid and bright, the darkness seemed to dissolve, kept at a faithful distance by an unmoving wall of white-hot pain. It was relentless, it was ruthless, and it only got worse as Rook’s calloused hands took hold of your tense form, lifting you off the ground and pulling you against his chest, cradling you as gently and as tortuously as he could. His hum was liked a needle to your ears, the click of his tongue as fatal as a dagger to the back of your neck, but even then, you knew it wouldn’t kill you. No, no, that’d ruin Rook’s fun. That’d be too merciful for him. That’d be too kind.
And to think, you’d almost forgotten the flare your hunter was capable of.

I know that Rook’s birthday has passed, but I saw a post today asking why Rook speaks French and I did look into this in an Rook Analaysis essay that I wrote for his birthday but didn’t post it here. So that post kinda made me want to post it to explain or hopefully look more into his character. 
Rook Hunt is a mysterious and attractive character. Despite his unusual habits, he’s a true gentleman but is often seen as having strange characteristics. Here I will attempt to look into Rook’s character design to celebrate his birthday!!
Rook so far in the game is the only character we see speaking a language from our world, French. Some have found this confusing or unnecessary but actually, Rook speaking French makes perfect sense. Rook comes from Afterglow Savannah, a land based on the movie, the Lion King just like it’s NRC dorm counterpart. The Lion King is said to take place in Africa, specifically Kenya. Inspiration on the landscapes in the movie was from the animators visiting Kenya (Bake, 2019). French is the official language of 11 countries in Africa and the secondary language in 10, making it the 5th most spoken language in the world (Chutel, 2018). Kenya is one of the countries with french as its main language. Since rook comes from Afterglow Savannah, it’s natural that he would have qualities matching the area just like Ruggie and Leona who also come from the same place. But unlike them, Rook resides in the Pomefiore dorm, therefore he holds qualities for both of these. Therefore, Rook does not come from France or represent France, he is based on Africa and most likely comes from the twst version of it which would be Afterglow Savannah.
Although Rook is not French, many white Africans in Africa, especially South Africa originated from France, Germany and the Netherlands in 1652 (jyu.fi). It's common for some twst characters to be a mix of cultures and themes. Rook is one example of this, he’s a blend of Afterglow Savannah and Pomefiore as he comes from Afterglow and is based on the hunter from Snow White. Snow White is said to be based in Germany, specifically Germany during the Holy Roman Empire (esri). Germany is one of the three main countries previously mentioned, that majority of white Africans came from, which suits Rook’s appearance. Rook’s hats also resemble fashion from this time as well as matching his Snow White counterpart. As seen below:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rook’s hair also appeals to both the hunter from Snow White and the matching time period. These hat styles were worn by those of higher class and by Rook wearing it, reflecting his position as deputy dorm leader of Pomefiore. 
The 14th century was a time of vibrant poetry explosion fitting Rook’s personality. An example of a famous poet from this time is Dante, famously known for writing “The Divine Comedy” (Interesting Literature). He chose to write in Italian instead of Latin which was common during these times. French and Italian are both known as “romance” languages that both derived from Latin, which was the language of the Holy Roman Empire during this time (Language TSAR). When it comes to Rook giving out nicknames, these too fit the time period as it was common for people to be named after their place or qualities which is what Rook is seen as doing. An example is Riddle who he calls “Roi de Roses” which means “King of Roses” which fits the style of names of those of the high class (Benicoeur and Gwynek, 2003). 
Bows were very common and practical in armies from the 12th to 16th centuries despite barely being recorded in history (Towens, 2019). This reflects perfectly onto Rook due to how little we know about him and the little trace he leaves behind which pairs well with his stealthy personality as a hunter but also shows his side as a “soldier” or a “guard” to Vil, his beliefs of beauty and possible other things we aren’t aware about. The main role of professional archers were for defense but were also used as mercenaries during crusades. Rook fits both of these as he plays the role of Vil’s defense and the protector of beauty wanting to cherish it. He can also be seen as a double edged sword as even though he stands by Vil, many have speculated that he may at some point betray Vil or help Neige doing what he believes to be most advantageous. Archery symbolises “aligning with the target” (Girvin, 2013) which means to give support towards something. Rook is seen as taking more supportive roles throughout the game by helping other students like Epel as seen in Leona’s lab coat story, helping him make a potion for his class (Twisted Wonderland Wiki). It can also mean to become the heart of a community, be truthful, in their times of need to be the voice of their minds to help solve their problems. Rook being honest can also be reflected in his arrows as they symbolise the sharp and accurate truths they contain, this can be seen in Vil’s lab coast story as he blatantly calls Vil “fat” with the intention of helping to increase his beauty, which despite his protests, Vil is seen appreciating (Twisted Wonderland Wiki).The archer is linked with the Centaur and Sagittarius (ironically his birth sign) which represents having insight which can be linked to Rook having knowledge of other students and of other things that normal people would not. Rook is known to freely speak his mind with what we see as with intentions of helping them even if his words or actions may be seen as weird or out of place, but in the end they have the effects he was aiming for or benefit the person in some way. Also “that hearts align in embracing the perfection of that targeting” (Girvin, 2013) which is poetic in Rook being a hunter and calling himself the “Hunter of Love.” An archer remains cool and observes from afar, becoming the symbol of honour, precision and patience.
In the Spanish caves of Cova dels Cavalls, they found etched carvings of archers estimated to be from about 7000 years ago (Stanley, 2020). They were believed to be a form or hunting magic ritual to manifest good hunting, this fits well with Rook being a magic user in the game and makes him wielding a bow make sense as well as again representing his Snow White counterpart. Archery and magic connections as referenced when Rook is in battle as he summons his magic attacks with an arrow releasing maneuver, as seen below:
Tumblr media
This can also reference his love for art, arrows bound in one of the first forms of art for centuries and also shows their use and endless help throughout time. A metaphorical and physical weapon just like with Rook, attacking metaphorically with his words and physically with his arrows/magic. Arrows are meant to be simple yet two dimensional (with its pointy and flat ends), Rook too is portrayed as being simple yet ironically he is also not. Two dimensional as in maybe despite all our theorising, he may just be a simple man who loves beauty yet there are still many unanswered questions about him and his past. However this can be said for other characters in the game as well, so perhaps Rook Hunt is just a simple man with weird qualities? That is still to be discovered. “The durability of the arrow metaphor, as with archery in general, looks unlikely to go anywhere soon,” (Stanley, 2020) this is a simple symbol linked with archery which can further be associated with the idea of Rook being simple and not as complicated as we believe. Rook being able to use light and dark magic can reflect this as humans are neither dark or light, they are simple beings with desires and goals that can be either good or bad. Rook too has his desires that some might perceive as odd, his goals are simple to (as seen in the wish upon the stars event) see all the beauty in the world.
In Japan, Zen archery (or Kyudo) where the goal was to “achieve a balance among mind, body, and bow, which gives rise to a unity that links the spirit to the target,” (Encyclopedia.com, 2020). Which again reflects Rook’s ability of using both types of magic, showing his inner peace and balance and ability to use both types of magic. He is a character that we don't see explode or express vivid emotions which could be linked with his hunting too. Bow and arrows have been known as symbols of good luck against evil in Japan since immemorial. We will probably see this in action during Vil’s overblot as that will be the evil to defeat in Chapter 5 alongside the other characters. 
The word “rook” has multiple meanings, like crows. Many have associated this and Rook’s poem about Crowley as them being signs of a possible connection between the two. Although this theory is very interesting and I would love for a twist like this, Disney is honestly too stupid to make a story as wonderful as that, but I could be wrong (please prove me wrong Disney). On the other hand it could symbolise Rook’s knowledge of everyone and how he could be aware of some of Crowley’s secrets or the secrets/mysterious of the school. They tend to be watchful creatures with great insight, which can be said the same for Rook as he observes other students and has knowledge of things that others normally do not have. Crows are also associated with transformation and change (Clifford, 2020)  which could represent Rook helping Vil and Epel, along with others to bring forth their beauty. There is also a well known nursery rhyme about crows, as seen below:
Tumblr media
Although the history behind the rhyme is not that clear, the seventh line does hold some connection to  Rook’s wide range of secrets that he knows and holds himself. Rook is also used for loud and sociable people or animals who love to talk, Rook is known for his loud and expressive persona that fits this description. Rook can also mean cheat, which could link to him sabotaging Vil to save Neige. The name is given to those with dark hair which is clearly not Rook (with his blond locks) but could refer to his hunter counterpart instead.
Rook is famous for his golden bob that is quite the debate. However bobs have a deep history. In the 20th century, bobs used to symbolise independent, progessive people encouraging a more daring personality during those times. Movies have been the main reason for the spread and back in style of the bob. Rook embodies a free personality with his odd attire in the dorm that symbolises beauty (hunting boots and hats) showing his more bold side that can also be seen by his freely open speech. Joan of Arc is the main inspiration of the bob that was brought back by Antoine, a celebrity hairdresser, which he showed in his salon in 1909 (V is for Vintage, 2012). Although she wore it for more practical meanings, she still stands for representing the people and doing what she believed in. It’s likely though that the bob was more inspired by the hunter’s hair style for Rook yet it still represents daring and progressive people which Rook is commonly known for with his views and actions. 
In conclusion, Rook Hunt is an odd yet interesting character. He is neither complex or simple. We still have much to learn about him which we hopefully will in the coming chapters and his birthday event. Although his character design may seem strange, in the end they make perfect sense when looking at the connections they all have towards the game and it’s details. I hope that this managed to clear up Rook’s character and explain more about him. However, there are a few attributes that are still questionable which if Disney has any concept of storytelling, they will explain...I hope for Rook’s sake. His stalking and obsession could be linked to how he sees himself as nothing much and viewing others as better or more beautiful, in that case he’s got some emotional package. Still does not excuse his actions. These tendencies might also be them expanding on a hunter stalking and keeping track of their prey, in this case for Rook it would be people he finds interesting. In the end he’s one of the many wonderful boys we have to learn more about and love.

Yan dormleaders getting asked by their crush to kill someone headcanons please.
warnings: general yandere content, violence, blood, mentions of death
riddle rosehearts
at first, he’d be put off- where... where did such a violent idea even come from...?
riddle may be incredibly jealous and controlling, and perhaps even rough at time; however, this doesn’t mean he isn’t willing to prove himself in any way he can to the one he loves... even if it means to kill
it makes him nervous- of course it does, he’s never done anything like that- but at the same time, it makes him giddy to think his crush asked him something like that
the more logical part of his brain can’t comprehend why they asked such a thing- he should be horrified, should be terrified they wanted him to do something like that... but the fact they turned to him and not someone else gives him so much joy he can’t even bring himself to care
riddle is organized and methodical, not to mention quite powerful with magic. if this is truly what his beloved wants, he’ll do so; just like the queen of hearts truly did cut off her subjects’ heads, he’ll be an executioner if his darling truly needs him to do so
of course, he’s going to expect something in return; truly, if they ask something so dangerous of him... they can’t just expect him to do as they say and then as nothing more, can they? he reasons if his crush was fucked up enough to ask for someone’s life, it’s only fair for them to handle his less than healthy obsession with them... right?
leona kingscholar
leona almost wants to applaud the little herbivore. wow, how much courage did they have to gather to ask that of him, hm? don’t they know in how much trouble they could get for that? they’re asking for someone else’s life, and they’ve come to him?
of course he could easily do so; leona is strong, and it’s not like anyone would survive being subjected to his unique magic for a long enough time. similarly, there’d be no body; just and left to drift in the wind. logically, he knows it’d be easy
but well, he’s going to play with his crush a little. he’ll tease them: why, are they not strong enough? oh, the little herbivore is too scared to get their hands dirty so they come to him?
of course he’ll do it, though. he hates how obsessed he is with the damn little herbivore, but he isn’t stupid enough to waste this opportunity. hell, it’s not like he wouldn’t be willing to kill for them- the fact they asked him to do so is just the push for him to do so
he’ll use the fact he actually did so to manipulate and terrify his crush. oh? he can so, so easily shift the blame on them, don’t they know? he’s a prince, they’re a nobody; even if he’s just the second born, he can so easily slide out of trouble, but... Oh, but they can’t- so they better be nice for him, unless they’d prefer to spend the rest of their life rotting in a jail cell
(of course he’d never actually do so; he’d never hand his beloved over to anyone, they’re his, but it never hurts to terrify them so they don’t stray from his side; to be remembered what they caused. hey, he was just the weapon; if anything, it was them who killed the poor sod, weren’t they?)
azul ashengrotto
there’s nothing azul wouldn’t do for his darling. this man is desperate; he’s deluded himself into believing his stalking and his obsession are “genuine love”. in fact, it’s him who eggs his darling to tell him to do so; he can tell someone’s bothering them. oh, why not tell him who? he can help, don’t they know?
of course azul uses a contract for this. he likes to think he’s helping out of the love in his heart, but in reality, he’s trying to secure his crush to his side. it doesn’t take too long until the contract is signed and he’s promised to disappear the one his crush asked for
it should be noted azul isn’t the one getting his hands dirty. the tweels are more than enough of a weapon for him to send out; his crush watches as the octopus merman instructs the two eels on their target, and the odd grins the two sport. it’s fun for them, azul says. they’ll toss the body in the ocean and it’ll never be found
of course, the contract makes them be forced to stick by azul’s side: he didn’t even try to hide the clause when he presented it. breaking the contract’s terms wouldn’t only make them lose even more of their freedom; it would release their “dirty secret”, would make public they had asked for someone to die...
azul has effectively tied his darling’s hands behind their back, so to speak. even if the contract expires, he never promised to keep the secret: the fact he could so easily ruin their life is a standing threat to motivate them into obeying
it’s bonus points if his darling becomes scared of floyd and jade. azul might ask them to retell exactly how everything went down- for formalities, so the client knows the job was carried out efficiently- but it’s merely a way to remind his darling that if they chose to do something azul disliked, well... the eels would surely have fun chasing them down, don’t they see?
kalim al-asim
riches, jewels, clothes, exotic animals, silk clothes and expensive banquets: kalim is more than happy to give all those to his crush in the snap of a finger, if only to see them smile
kalim is... not a violent person. every impulse he gets, he internally justifies it as “love”- is he jealous that others are talking to his crush? oh, it’s love! he feels the need to lock them up for himself...? oh, that’s his instinct to protect the one he loves, right...?!
so when his crush asks him that, he’s incredibly distressed. that’s...!
however, once again, he’s quick to justify it. surely... no, for sure, if his darling wants someone dead, they must be a terrible person, right?! his crush is the sweetest person ever, so if they want this person dead then... then they definitely deserve it, right?!
he keeps justifying it in that way- even when he pays off some mercenaries, even when they bring him the head as proof the deed was done; this is... all because of love, so it’s ok, right?
his crush better be ready to comfort him. he’s going to be a bit shaken- even though this isn’t the first time he’s been around death (whenever he was kidnapped, he often watched his captor be killed right before his eyes by jamil or another servant in order to save him), but... well, it’s a bit different when he’s the one who actually paid to have it done
kalim isn’t one to weigh favours against others, but he might be a bit pushy. surely, after doing this... he has the right to hog his crush’s time and attention, right? he can keep them for himself- he.... he did such a thing for them, so it’s ok! it’s a fair deal, right? he’ll be super nice to them, too... so it’s ok! it’s ok because it’s love, right?
vil schoenheit
vil knows it could be so easy. the head of pomefiore must brew the strongest poison- that’s the rule, and he accomplished it. tasteless, scentless, colorless, untraceable poison? of course he could make it; it’d be a shame if he couldn’t, considering how much work he’s put into the craft...
when first asked, vil would be a bit cautious. wanting to kill someone... what kind of feelings could his beloved have for such a person? did they do something to them...?
even if he knows only negative emotions could be behind that request, he feels jealous. to want to kill someone... means that someone has been occupying his crush’s thoughts; their image has been running through his beloved’s mind, so much so they wish for their death... and he hates that. 
vil always wishes to be number one in his darling’s eyes; his efforts, his pains, he wants them recognized by the one he deems to be his love. the thoughts of someone else occupying his beloved’s mind are enough for him to forgo any sort of moral discussion about the crime he’ll commit
usually, vil would ask rook to do these sort of dirty tasks, not because he was incapable of harsh work, but because he preferred to preserve himself. however, this is something he needs to do himself: beauty is obtained through effort, and this too is just another stepping stone to his beloved, is it not...?
vil’s beloved crush better be ready for him to use this sin against them. he has no problem reminding them of all he’s done for them- he’s given them a custom-made skincare routine, every beauty product under the sun, adjusted their wardrobe, and he’s killed in their name. it’d be horribly ungrateful on their part for them to deny him anything he asked, wouldn’t they?
idia shroud
idia would do anything to get his crush to even look at him. he deeply believes he has no chance, even before speaking to them- anything, anything to get their attention...! it’s not enough to stalk them: he needs them
it’s so bad he doesn’t even think much of the request. he’s so lost on cloud nine of being so close- he could smell their shampoo if he leant closer, oh gods, oh gods; what is killing someone, compared to this? he’d do anything to be close to them
of course, idia isn’t going to brute force anything. he’s well aware he’s not the strongest student, muscles never trained from days spent indoors, locked in his room; but he prides himself in his genius
he’s proud. he shouldn’t be- he knows it, this is fucked up, he shouldn’t have done this, his crush is fucked up for asking this and he’s even more so for doing it- but he’s able to shake off all nausea and anxiety by knowing he’s doing it for them
he’s got no problem in showing up to his darling’s dorm all covered in blood; oh, don’t worry, he wasn’t seen, there’ll be no security tapes of what he did. he doesn’t even care how his crush grows scared of his bloody figure, hair glowing and illuminating the drying blood; they’re so close, so close- they owe him, don’t they...? the mere thought makes him grin wildly
idia is already a tad delusional: sure, he’s convinced himself he’s unlovable, and he doesn’t believe his crush will love him back, but he’s deluded himself into believing this is the only way to do things. doing such a violent action may as well be the tipping point; if he’s capable of killing... what’s stopping him from just taking his crush? to take them and lock them up for himself; isn’t that just another way of taking a life?
malleus draconia
why would such a sweet human desire something so morbid...? malleus can’t help but see his crush as a little animal, a young human with no power compared to him. it’s a bit jarring, to see them ask for something like death upon another...
... but it makes him so unbelievably amused. who would’ve known they were so dark? he’ll go on to say such an innocent exterior was hiding such a dark, horrible desire... 
he’s projecting, absolutely. if he sees his crush: someone he considers so adorable and loveable, the one human he’d do anything for, the person he will spend the rest of his life with, hide a desire to have someone kill... then it’s ok if he- powerful and serious malleus draconia, who acts as gentle and kind as he can with his little human crush, star student of NRC holds a desire to hoard his treasure, keep his crush away from prying eyes, to have them think of him and only him no matter what method he must use, right?
he’s so amused by this child of man’s gall to ask him, one of the world’s most powerful mages, for such a favour- and also curious. did this other person do something to his beloved? did they hurt them? lay a hand on them? the thought alone is enough for him to desire that bastard’s blood spilled, even without knowing if his suspicions are even close to the truth- so of course he does
he makes sure his crush knows he did so. it was a painful death; he’ll assure them of that. burning fire, electric magic, thorns wrapping around an almost lifeless corpse: if his crush doesn’t find a way to shut him up, he’ll describe every detail. 
they caused this; this was the work of a child of man, not of a dark fae, he’ll remind them. he’ll justify any future actions with this- oh, he’s a monster for kidnapping them? he’s horrible for locking them up and forcing them onto the role of his lover? did they forget how much of a monster they are, too?

Starry Sky
Anon says: Prompt number 13. “It seems to me that I saw stars in your eyes” for Vil x fem!reader, please?
Tumblr media
At first, Vil preferred to ignore your existence. The blonde could be understood: work as a model, the duties of the head, a strange deputy and self-care… in this situation, the only thing you want after a hard day is a healthy sleep.
The young man heard about the notorious prefect of the Onboro dorm, but his opinion of the guest wasn`t the best. By the time Schoenheit found out about the girl, she had already managed to decide on the 8th dorm, break an expensive candelabrum, practically fly out of college, and all this in one day. Involuntarily he thought that there would be many times more fuss with you if you got to him like Epel did.
Officially, you met in the dusty living room, which besides you were Jamil, Kalim, Leona and Raggie. After the kind director confronted you with the fact of “returning the stone at any cost”, you took with interest the phrase of the vice-leader of the Scarabia about the secret weapon. Who knew that it would be a strict potions teacher and… the way Leona snarled at Viper was more eloquent than any words. From that moment you realized one thing: you have to go through all seven circles of hell.
Your intuition, trained in dealing with Ace and Deuce, didn`t disappoint you this time either. Not only did the quartet of distraction get it, but you and Bucchi too, although more, no doubt, it was you. Vil personally gave you lessons in graceful gait and everything that you previously knew only by hearsay. Even if you could still find a logical explanation for the first lessons, you had to merge with the other guest, then the knowledge of why you had to learn about table etiquette remained beyond your understanding.
So now, sitting at the table in Pomefiore’s living room, you looked at a large number of cutlery and crockery with a bored expression on your face. This didn`t escape from the attentive model, but he could not tell you anything, or rather didn`t want to.
Schoenheit himself would like to know why he is so obsessed with you. Perhaps it was because you, like Epel, stubbornly pursued your goal. Perhaps it was because of the way your face shone with determination as you tried to appeal to the overblot leader every time. Perhaps it all because of the way you met all the difficulties that fate threw you with a charming smile.
As an exception, Vil chose to walk you to your dorm, although he might not, you mentally noted. You walked in silence, thinking about your own, when suddenly you heard voices from afar.
“Is this our rescue team? Didn’t they find anyone better?“
“Cannon fodder in action again”
Unconsciously, you shrank, even though you knew about the existence of rumors hovering around your figure, it was no less offensive to hear them. Suddenly you felt a warm touch on your back, lifting your head, you saw calm face of blond.
“The best thing you can do is ignore the poisonous comments after proving the opposite by your actions”. Vil continued to stare forward without slowing down.
You go on your way in quiet, but for the first time the silence seemed to you not unpleasant, but soothing.
***
After exhausting training and a successful assignment, you sat on a college bench, gazing up at the night sky. You could look at the stars in your dorm, but for some reason unknown premonition pulled you to the area near the well. The cool wind was pleasantly chilling skin, when suddenly you heard quiet, measured steps. Without even turning your head, you knew who exactly was their source.
“Sir Schoenheit, didn’t you say that healthy sleep is the main guarantee of beauty?” Allowing yourself a slight smile, you looked into the eyes of the head of Pomefiore, noting their captivating color. “I could not say it earlier but.. Thank you… thank you for everything”
The young man froze in place, still gaze at you. With a worry you took a few steps, leveling with the tall blonde.
“Are you okay?”
“It seemed to me… that I saw stars in your eyes.” Vil’s voice sounded uncertain, as if the yong man doubted the logic of his words, but he quickly pulled himself together. You look at him for the first time ever, and at that moment the blond was ready to swear: the iris of your eyes was like precious jewels “Forget it”
You stared at Schoenheit in confusion for a while, after the meaning of what was said came to you. Laughing quietly, you looked up at the sky again.
The model didn’t say a word anymore, and neither did you. The only thing that worried you was the time you could spend in each other’s company.

Hello ! Do you have any idea for Mafia AU Stagrove ?
i’ll always have ideas 😌 no magic/beast features for mafia au integrity — also ! consider them aged up because it’s hard to take a mafia au seriously when it’s just teenagers
Tumblr media
mmm to set the scene, i would say that the dorms are sectors beneath the larger ring of crime which is underneath crowley?
stagrove is bound to be a bit of a rogue faction that is difficult to get under ropes, they’re actually rather self-standing without having to rely too much on crowley’s ‘aid’.
the area they’re in charge of isn’t particularly as lavish and grand as those of say, diasomnia or pomefiore — however in its own right, that just makes it easier for stagrove to integrate itself into the society. they would specialize in the weapon trade.
many civilians are entirely aware of the mafia presence within their lives — everyday life and the mafia are incredibly interwoven. if the mafia falls, so does the city.
chase: head of the faction
though few know his face, many fear his reputation; chase is the respected yet mysterious head of the mafia. he avoids indulging himself in lavishness - the typical parties, fancy cars, and suits.. he doesn’t particularly bother with such things, so he fits in rather well with random civilians (who knows, he could be any of the civilians standing around you.) it is through many of his efforts that stagrove’s domain remains as stable as it does currently. despite his apathetic nature, he is rather dead-set on refusing to relinquish stagrove’s hold on the city — so he truly has made it into quite the stronghold for the mafia.
he entered the mafia as a very young child and has been here ever since. he was named the head as the former head’s laid on his deathbed, despite chase’s rank at the time, rather than one of the men in the former head’s circle. this was a rather turbulent time for the mafia.
flint: vice head of the faction
a strict second-in-command who keeps both the mafia and their territory in order with his unyielding methods. many fear him as the primary negotiator, for there are few people as intense and aggressive as him. he’s a man of his word who honors his contracts and deals, and always upholds his end of the bargain — those who don’t keep up are generally ‘dealt with’ as he sees fit. the people who don’t know better generally assume that he’s the head. flint may not as secretive as chase, however that does not mean he is arrogant — but he maintains the proper distance between himself and ‘civil society’.
he was born into the mafia, however he was from a different sector and was brought in when he was about a preteen due to the shaky nature of the previous one. since then, he has worked his way to the top and is now one of chase’s most, if not the most, trusted advisor.
ronaldo: minor public relations
pompous and arrogant as always, but he’s not as notable or infamous as the other members of stagrove — he’s no terrifying man-killer or anything like that. he’s their public face. if anything, he’s stagrove’s favorite boy to send in for scouting and some public negotiations because of simply how... unassuming he is. he still likes to brag though, even if he doesn’t match up with the others in terms of reputation. he’s noted to be a little flaky with his deals and in following contracts, so he does make for a bit of trouble for stagrove.
he joined the mafia as a teenager. nothing particularly interesting, he just thought it’d be cool and make him look cooler.
berkeley: enforcer
one of the most devoted members of the mafia, who’s been trusted with the task of keeping tabs on everybody associated with said mafia — specifically appointed by chase. he’s pretty amiable and nice to everybody, but once it’s time for business, it’s a pretty stark difference from the silly and seemingly harmless country boy to the brutal enforcer that watches over and cleans up the loose ends of the mafia.
entered the mafia as a teen when his family hit hard times, however he’s always had ties to the mafia. he made his way up the ranks pretty quickly. though he isn’t officially recognized as an advisor, he still is granted the same privileges as one.
cordell: hitman / enforcer
one of the most volatile members, and most certainly one of the most dangerous. he’s rather nonsensical and polite but it does nothing to detract from the fact that he is, in fact, one of their highest ranked hitmen. his dedication to chase is rather commendable, but it’s nothing in comparison to his success rate. when he’s not out on missions, he’s generally helping berkeley as one of his enforcers.
he was born into the mafia and hasn’t known life outside of it, but his family is from a very small branch. he is the youngest top-ranked hitman in the stagrove mafia.

Classroom Chats
Chat 1
Side by Side
"I'm not really a fan of history. Why? Because of how old-fashioned royalty used to be."
"Princesses had to marry a prince, they couldn't learn how to sword fight, and they were always rescued by someone else!"
"I'm sure there are plenty of women in history who kicked butt! Can't they fight side by side? You can't deny a power couple!”
"Heehee, what? It's time to get with the program!"
Fin
Chat 2
A Girl Worth Fighting For
"There was once a woman who disguised herself as a man to join the army! Her father was nearly conscripted so she took his place."
"Even though women were looked down on, she was given a medal of honor for her courage. Her Emperor realized that with the right training, anyone can be a warrior!"
"Huh...maybe history class isn't so bad after all?"
Fin
Chat 3
A Charming Admirer
"Ah, this is the second mystery note I've received this week. I don't know what to do anymore…"
"Sorry, it's a long story. In short, I seem to have a lot of secret admirers. The thought is nice but…"
"I'd rather read about romance than be in one. Being whisked away on an adventure with a charming suitor sounds exciting, no?"
"Hey...what are you hiding behind your back?"
Fin 
Chat 4
Didi and Epel: Trusty Steed
"Epel! You were so cool during your magift game the other day!"
🍎 Huh? You think so? That makes me glad…
"You looked like a prince, flying on a trusty steed!
🍎 Eh? I wouldn't say it was anything like that...let alone me bein a prince…
"Hair flying in the wind as the elements throw everything they have at you…"
🍎 Huh?
"You reach the forest with a tall tower and there lies your true love, ready to go on a whirlwind adventure!"
🍎 She's daydreamin again...dang it…
Fin
Chat 5
Didi and Rook: Two Merry Men
🏹 Mademoiselle charmante, great work with your archery lessons! I'm impressed with how well you've learned what I've taught you!~
"Uwaa? Thank you, monsieur chapeau! I want to learn how to use all kinds of weapons! They're so cool!"
🏹 You still have a lot to learn and appreciate about the bow, mon cherì. I have just the challenge for you as well!
"Try me! I can do it!"
🏹 You must split the arrow I shoot at the target. It is a feat very few can accomplish. 
"Whoa! That sounds impossible! But that won't stop me! You're on!"
Fin
Chat 6
Didi and Vil: The Typecasts
🦚 Hmm…
"Is something wrong, Monsieur Vil? My uniform?
🦚 Surprisingly, no. How would you like to be in one of my films? You'd be perfect for a role I've written. 
"Gosh, what role could I possibly be fit for? I've never been in a movie…"
🦚 Well, I received a pack of hair extensions that match your skin beautifully. Perhaps I shall make you into a princess? You'll be in a peaceful slumber of course. 
"Ah...that figures…"
Fin
Vil: Deep respect for him. Dina often second guesses herself, but Vil encouraged her to be herself. His methods are…rigorous and unorthodox, but Dina appreciates it nonetheless. Vil thinks she’s cute, and he’s pleased to have someone who listens to him. The only conflict they seem to have is when he makes her star in his films. She always wants to do something cool, but Vil ironically typecasts her to be the damsel in distress.
Rook: Friendly. Didi begged him to teach her how to use a bow and arrow and now they have training sessions often. She also finds him very unusual, but he is quite gentlemanly towards her. Rook treats her like a little sister and he also becomes quite overprotective, to the point where he stalks her when she's around other upperclassmen…especially Jade.
Epel: Epel thinks she's odd, but not as weird as the other Pomefiore students. He often finds himself trying to live up to her praise for him, which involves gushing about how heroic he looks when he's playing magift. She also loves to attend his practice sessions. Epel doesn't feel like he deserves to be called chivalrous, but he's too shy to tell her. He also doesn't understand why she likes being in Pome so much. 
Jade: It's not clear how these two met, but Jade developed an interest in her. He coincidentally runs into her often and follows her around when he can. Didi assumes he's just being nice and denies anything deeper than friendship. She sometimes invites him to her baking sessions with Karen and Trey. Jade is the first to eat whatever she makes regardless if it's for him or not. As a result, she scolds him for being rude. He likes messing with her exactly for this reason. 
Trey: She has a bit of a crush on him because of his baking skills. Trey tries to downplay her puppy love and usually deflects whatever compliments she gives him. They're both too modest to take any kind of compliments in general. 
Karen: Baking buddies. These two get along quite well. Along with baking, the girls can also be seen watching anime, sharing manga and watching romcoms. Karen is also teaching her how to swim.
