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

Dear i'm sorry, but i'm in love with Vane TOT

(No need to apologise! Out of all my OCs, Vane is the one I thought people would like the least since he's so shy. Feel free to love him all you want! It'll bring him out of his comfort zone (aka: the cushiony interior of a tulip).

Vane's antennae screwed themselves up. He was so embarrassed. So painfully embarrassed. Why would someone say they loved him? Wasn't he just a reclusive nerd with too many arms and not enough personality to cover a thin wafer?

Agatha was so outgoing and popular. Vane turned his fingers into a cat's cradle from how much he was twiddling them. It was like the girl had an aura, a forcefield that radiated with wonder. Someone like that talking to him was too much.

"D-Don't - Don't apologise," he squeaked. "I love things- things, too. Like milkweed smoothies." No! Why would you say that? You sound so insensitive! "Ever tried one? We-We," STOP TALKING, "could grab one...together...some-sometime..."

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:

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!

Hi dear! Can i ask 5,17,21,22 for Vane?

Sorry if it's too much, u can ignore if u want, i can't bother u but i'm curious and in love with your precious Vane 😔💗👉👈

WOOOOOOO! Kicking things off with one of my first TWST bois, let's goooooooooooooooo!!!! (and you could never bother me Nicoli! Ask as many Qs as you want :3 Same goes for all my mutuals whom I love and cherish!)

~~~~~~

Vane shrieked and jerked backwards, almost falling off the giant daisy he’d been lounging in. His tiny legs kicked and scrambled to get back into position.

"Why are you in my room-oh. Y-You only have fo-four questions for me?" The caterpillar sighed deeply, both in exasperation and trying to calm himself down. It wasn't his birthday but he was getting an interview? Some students at this school were insane. "Well...alright. I suppose I can spare a few minutes. But please knock next time. A cat-caterpillar's room is their sanctuary." He hoisted Agatha onto the petals and repositioned his podgy lower half around her. The closeness was already making him sweat.

5. What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?

"Promise you won't tell anyone? Well...I boil some of my plants in water and breathe in the steam. It doesn't damage my lungs or anything, but I like the way it tastes. Especially mint. Ha-Have you met the Dorm Leader of D-Diasomnia? He's a dragon fae. So powerful...and respected." Vane had a faraway look. "Is it strange to fantasise about being a drag-dragon when you exhale steam, smoke, or condensation? If it is, don't tell anyone!"

17. What makes you laugh?

Vane had to think deeply about it. He couldn’t remember the last time he felt relaxed enough to laugh. “I’ll be-be honest, a lot of humour goes over my head. But clumsiness c-cracks me up. Whe-when someone trips over their shoelaces, or falls into a hedge, it makes me-me feel a bit better about my own lack of co-ordination. Having to walk on so many tiny nubs is harder than it looks. Sometimes it makes me want to turn into a butterfly. ...Almost.”

21. Describe your ideal partner.

Vane’s neck started to heat up. Just because she’s talking to you doesn’t mean she’s flirting with you.

“Someone that’s encouraging, but not pushy. I’ll admit...I wish I hadn’t spent my teenage years in my bedroom growing plants.” The daisy suddenly felt coarse under him. “So-so I want someone that will show me other sides to life, bu-but not force me, y’know. I also want my partner to be someone who likes to talk and listen. I know I’m quiet. I don’t participate in class. But I still have a lot to say, and I’ll say it to the right people. So...yeah. Someone fun and likes conver-conversations.”

22. What’s the easiest way to flirt with you?

That was the final nail in the coffin. Vane went bright red. “I-I-It’s the hume-humidity. Have to keep the room warm for the plants. I go all cla-clammy.” That’s so unattractive.

The daisy was now bowing under their weight and Agatha slid into Vane’s side. He had to dig his fingernails into his arm to keep from yelping.

But it must be this though, right? he thought. This is the easiest way to flirt with me. Just exist. Just want to be in my company. It’s nice to know someone wants to be close to me. And not because they’re looking to pick on me.

“Um...I don’t know,” Vane lied. Agatha’s face was too close to bear. “I have no idea...” He shifted away. “But if I was to make an assumption...” A little further. His hind-nubs fell off the flower. “It would be-WOAH!”

As soon as the third set of nubs had fallen off the petals, the rest of Vane went with it. He snatched at Agatha to keep steady, but ended up dragging her down with him.

They didn’t fall far, but the thud would no doubt have Riddle banging on the door.

Embarrassment bulldozed through every modicum of Vane’s being. Before Agatha could process what had just happened, he picked her up and scrambled for the door. Great Seven forbid she stayed another minute. “Sorry,” he said, pushing her out. “About...that. Bye!”

Vane slammed the door, snatched a pillow off his bed, and screamed into it.

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)

Hi dear! It's me again ^^ I'm sorry but can I ask 14, 23, and 24 for Vane? Only if you want! Thank you so much for creating such a unique, sensitive and precious character. Vane deserves a lot of recognition and to be loved just the way he is, regardless of whether he's a caterpillar or if he wants to be a butterfly 💗💗💗

Thank you so much for all your support when it comes to my caterpillar boi. It's the highest honour a writer can be paid when you like their ocs and getting all this positive feedback makes me want to develop his character further!

Who knows? Maybe he will transform into a butterfly. He just needs the right moment - and people - around him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“A-A-Agatha?” Vane scurried back into his giant rose and closed the petal. Suspended 20ft in the air, the caterpillar had assumed he was safe from being disturbed. He probably shouldn’t have grown the flower so close to a tree. Agatha was sat on a branch; curious dewy eyes staring sweetly at him.

After what happened the last time he’d seen her, Vane was feeling so embarrassed he nearly threw up. He chanced a look back, hoping she had gone, but Agatha’s silhouette was still visible through the pink petals. She wasn’t going to leave, was she.

Don’t mess up this time, he thought to himself. If she falls from this height she will get hurt.

“You have some more qu-questions?” Vane opened the flower and started shimmying down the stem. “A-Alright, but can we take the interview in my room again? I’m-” Worried you’ll fall, “behind on some studying and all my books are there.”

14. What are your favourite music genres?

That was an easy question, and frankly one that got Vane inspired. “W-Well, having antennae makes me sensitive to sound waves, so I love any music that has a decent bass tra-track. But also...”

His eyes wandered over to a basket chest at the foot of his bed. Should he show her? He’d never shown anyone at the school what was inside, let alone what he could do with it.

Despite his brain screaming to stop, he opened it and took out a double bass and a viola.

“Ha-having four arms means I can play these at the same-same time.” He held their fingerboards with white knuckles. Please don’t ask me to play you a song. “I’m not-not that good. Not as good as-as Malleus Draconia on the violin, at least.” But if you did ask, I wouldn’t mind. If you gave me a few days to learn the notes. “Don’t tell Riddle I have these. He’ll force me to join the Heartslabyul or-orchestra!”

(So...yeah...Vane can play string instruments haha).

23. Have you ever had a crush on someone?/Do you have a crush now?

Straight back into the awkward questions? Vane sighed. He was beginning to suspect that Agatha wasn’t conducting a school interview like he’d initially thought. If it was for personal reasons, it took everything he had not to blush.

“A cru-crush? N-N-No. The only girl-girls I have in my life are my god sisters. We used to play weddings when I was little, but after my parents sent me to an all-boys boarding school it stopped me looking for love altogether...” And who could love a podgy recluse that can’t even string a coherent sentence together without stammering?

“In all honesty, though, I can’t t-tell if I crush on people or I’m just embarrass-embarrassed all the time. I go red, my palms sweat, I stammer. Those are all the symptoms of having a crush, r-right? But that’s what I do whenever anyone looks at me. I get nervous...or are those just butterflies in my stomach-ahem. N-Next question, please.”

24. What would you consider your main love language?

“Lang-language? How can I have a love language when I have-haven’t even mastered the one I sp-speak with?”

Agatha said something in response, but Vane only pretended to listen. His mind was elsewhere trying to come up with an answer that didn’t sound pathetic. “Okay...the truth is...but you promise not to laugh?” He took a deep breath and pointed to his head. “My main love language is touching people with my antennae. It-it’s an insect thing. Our antennae are sensitive and the most vulnerable part of our bodies. If we scratch them, or touch something rough, we feel the pain all over. I-If I were to touch...you- Just as an example! If-if I were to touch you with my antennae, it means I trust you and...want to be as close as I can be.”

Vane waited for the jokes, for the ridicule. But it didn’t come. Agatha wrote the last of her notes and smiled at him kindly.

Vane felt naked. He’d never been asked such intimate questions. But now that it was out in the open, he felt oddly relieved. Like the portcullis to his soul had been lifted. “I-I hope that answers your questions,” he said. “Y-Y’know, no one’s been as interested in me as you have. I’m le-leaving next year and I don’t have many memories of this place outside the classrooms an-and my bedroom.”

Now that he thought about it, Vane was beginning to warm to Agatha. Her curiosity was jarring at the beginning, but also quite charming. “Would you li-like to...do something together? At...some point? Maybe...soon?”

3, 6 and 12 for Tidus ^^

(Ask meme originally here)

3. Tell us about a complicated relationship your OC has with another character?

(NOTE: THESE ARE EVENTS FROM AN RP I'VE HAD WITH SQUIDWEN) Jade Leech. One of Squid's OC's was attempting to start a union/go on strike, and roped Tidus in. Now, Tidus was sorta becoming friends with another OC of hers: Vane Millingwood. The problem is that Vane is SUUUPER shy. So Jade (And Azul) wants to get closer to Vane for his own reasons, and blackmailed Tidus into using his connection to get information they can't get close enough to get. His threat was that he would let Azul know that he was part of the budding union and would ruin his standing with 'The Boss'. After a lotta legal jargon, things smoothed out, but Tidus still keeps guard over his senpai in case Jade's curiosity over his hat gets to be too much.

6. What is their worst class?

FLYING. Him and most mer aren't great at flying anyway, but compound that with him being literally 7ft tall, yeaahh most brooms aren't gonna support that.

12. What is your OC’s favorite event(s), what was their role?

It would be easy to say his was any of the Master Chef events, BUT ACTUALLY: it's Halloween! He was amazing help in setting up Octavinelle's area in the lab. But when the Magicam Monsters started making their way over, Floyd took to the tank, while Tidus got unraveled and laid out on the table to be the Dreaded Franken-Fish!

Backstory

Vane Millingwood is inspired by the Caterpillar from Alice and Wonderland. He hails from the Rose Kingdom, and a family so large it could populate an entire village.

While his parents were away on business, Vane stayed with his Godfather. Of all his aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, and grandparents, his 3 god sisters were his favourite kin, and they treated Vane like a brother/little sister. (All their old clothes and toys were his to enjoy).

Being an only child - which was uncommon in the Millingwood family - Vane never felt more at home than when he was with his god sisters. However, over the years Vane saw less and less of them. With his parents away so often, he was sent to boarding schools from the age of 12.

School was rough. It was customary for caterpillars to eat as much as possible to trigger their transformation into butterflies. But the bigger Vane got, the more he was picked on, and the less appetising overeating became.

One year, he came home for the holidays and was shocked to find all his god sisters had transformed into butterflies. Why wasn’t he told? Why wasn’t he granted leave from school to watch them emerge from their chrysalises? Becoming butterflies was a sacred ritual. He wanted to be with them more than anything.

Now when he looked at his god sisters, he could barely recognise them. The more they fluttered about on their new wings, and sipped on sweet nectar rather than munching on leaves, the more out of place he felt.

“When do you reckon you’ll transform, honey?” they asked, prodding his stomach. “You’ll need to eat more if you ever want to.”

It was then that Vane realised all he had left of his god sisters, his memories of caterpillarhood, of games and his favourite times, was himself. Would becoming a butterfly mean he said goodbye to that? To the happiest time of his life?

If so, then what was so bad about being a Caterpillar? And remaining slim enough to stay one?

Vane is the sort of soul who keeps himself to himself, keeping his head down and saying little.

👉👈 and if I may....

Thais is kinda my main OC, she's a small goat girl that adores plants and nature. She's in Heartslabyul and is slightly inspired on the singing flowerbeds of Alice in Wonderland

As soon as she gets word that Vane has a little garden, tends to plants, and/or knows what his UM is, she'll be on the lookout for him. She's shy herself, knows personal space is valued by shy people, she wouldn't just up and get on his face to interact. Thais would resort to simply observing him when they coincide in the same space, hoping to get a glimpse of his talents and personality. Plus, he's an upperclassman, she wouldn't like to bother him with trivial things

One thing I'm sure of: Thais would sometimes leave a small pot with his favorite flowers or plants by the door to his room. A note denoting the plant is for him, with a cute silly kaomoji drawn by hand decorating the paper tag

She respects him very much!

Vane would be perplexed to find flowers and notes addressed to him, and unnerved to find them left outside his door of all places.

He immediately starts making a list of all the people he knew well enough for them to do that sort of thing, of which the total was zero.

The first time it happened, Vane’d pretend it was a prank and leave the little plant in the botanical gardens as soon as possible - regardless if there was a note addressed to him.

If Thais kept doing it, Vane might be tempted to leave his own creations outside his door in exchange. Leaving notes like:

To whom it may concern,

Do tell me how large your head is and what colour your eyes are in your next correspondence.

Kindly,

Vane Reginald Peter Darwin Mary Millingwood

He would want to make them a hat that matched their eyes. If he saw Thais wearing it around school, he might give them a small wave.

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.

The wonderful @sugarandmelody and I came up with an idea to have a 'Food Chain Trio' made form Thais (goat), Vane (caterpillar), and Rozalie (flower) where they all bond over their shared love of flora.

We pictured it where Rozalie and Vane are already in the botanical gardens, experimenting on some new plants, when Thais plucks up the courage to go up to them and ask what they're doing. What follows is the three of them establishing respect for each other's knowledge and dedication to botany and herbology, and become quiet chaotic neutrals with their new creations.

What do you think?

FOOD CHAIN TRIO I'M----

I'M SORRY, THAT--

THAT'S SUCH A CUTE AND SILLY NAME, MAKES ME WANT TO PINCH ALL THEIR CHEEKS KFAOPGKAOPKOA 😭💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I adore it 🥺💖💖💖

OMG OMG OMG I ADOOOOORE IT!!!! 😭💖

Thank you for thinking of my little goat to be part of it!! IT'S ADORABLE AAAAA 💕💕💕💕

Thais is starry eyed and buzzing the whole time, all smiles and amazement. "They're so smart!" She adores these two upperclassmen. If they want her to lend her Unique Magic so they can study a rare specimen, she will gladly make the seed bloom!

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!”
