Kinda like the junk thing about stories about yandere and other characters that are generally charismatic but insane is that like... the stories usually go the same way. It's either that the other character are clueless or that the mc is hyperaware and tries avoiding them from the very start. But I mean I suppose that's how it's supoosed to go with horror/dark romance.
I kinda just want to read a story where the mc has an insanely high eq, but low sense of danger. They can tell there's something off about this dude. The mc has never met a serial killer before, but this charismatic dude everyone likes gives off massive serial killer vibes. But at the same time, the city they live is otherwise rather peaceful. There's nothing really happening at the uni in which they attend. So while they're receiving these vibes, they have nothing to base it off of.
While they don't seek this guy out, they don't avoid him either. He randomly got pulled into their friend group, so the mc sees him often enough. They don't act on guard, but they don't act overly friendly either. Honestly they don't even tip off the yandere's warning signals at all. They're practically an NPC in his life. He could really care less about them.
That is until he begins noticing little things here and there. The girl that had been ruthlessly pursuing him oddly gave up on him out of the blue. The classmate that'd consistently butter him up to copy off of his homework started bothering other people instead. Before he even realized it, people started treating him like a human being instead of putting him on a pedestal. He was losing his control over the group and he had no clue why.
It takes longer than he'd like to admit, but eventually he zeroes in on the mc. The mc is the only outlier in this equation. They're the only one that didn't become obsessed with him, either in infatuation or hate. Really, he should've realized it earlier. You were known as the older sibling of the group, after all. Everyone came to you when they needed to vent. And at the same time, you never treated him as something more. You never obsessed over him, not in infatuation and not in hate. Really, if anything, when you two were in the same room, you treated him as nothing more than an NP–
Hmm...
And then the obsession begins to start, on his part at least. For the first time, he begins to interact with the mc. He begins to pay attention to them. He begins to see them. And he is hooked. And the mc doesn't disappoint. With enough eq for days, they evade him with ease. They slip between his claws. They practically dance circles around him. And it only makes him want to capture them. To confine them. To swallow them whole. And the mc isnt an idiot. They know what he's doing as much as he knows what they're doing. They're not afraid either. They know the yandere. They know how low he's willing to go to get what he wants. They know him.
After going about it a bit, the yandere becomes shocked at the amount of control the mc has over this game of theirs. Because they know him so well, they've set the rules, the allowances, the limits. They did it without even trying. Even when he tries to catch them by surprise, the mc's handles it in stride. Even when he tries to play dirty, the mc doesn't bat an eye. The mc knows him. They know him so very well. He cant win this game no matter how hard he tries.
So he realizes he needs to change tactics.
He'll learn the mc so well he can exploit them as masterfully as they do him.
And the game continues.

What's its like being a female in all the Dorms
So I was making characters from my last idea and then it came to me. Headcanons for being the only female in each dorm!
Prompt : So rundown, you are the only female student in the whole school. You were an a talented young woman who was reached out to, as a great opportunity for NRC to open their doors to both females and males alike. (in reality Crowley just thinks girls on campus would be less rowdy then all boys. Means less work for him. Or maybe it's cause RSA started to, and Crowley is offended. Either way you are here now!)
Warnings : Reader isn't yuu/Mc. Reader is born female. mentions of sexism and harrsement. A little cussing to. Mentions of Periods and Bras.
-------------------------------------------------------
Heartslabyul
Riddle would be just as hard on you as the other freshmen. He sees you no differently. Male, female? Doesn't matter, you are still a student. You must obey all the rules to a Tea (get it?). If you don't then it's off with your head just like everyone else. Which if your sorted into this dorm there is good chance you are okay with that. I could see you being more a stickler for rules but even if your not at least riddle is fair.
If you're more chaotic and less strict then Riddle would treat you like Ace. Don't think you are getting away with things just because you act all innocent. He will make you write a 100-page essay on what you did wrong and why you won't do it again. That's if it's after his overblot. If not then it's "OFF WITH YOUR HEADU".
Though if you were forced into a bedroom with boys, Riddle might raise a fuss saying it's improper and get you your own bedroom. He will make the mistake of going through Crowley though.
Trey wouldn't act any different either. He'd also just see you as another freshmen. Carter though, he would avoid you. Like oh no, he has sisters. He "knows" what girls are like. He will warm up to you though.
Ace will flirt so much with you it's unreal. Cheesy pick up lines, smooth one liners, etc. He'll become annoying with it. Like get a spray bottle kind of annoying. Deuce is the opposite. He is super respectful and always a gentleman to you. He may become less stern if you befriend him but he'll always be a bit soft around you. If you ask, he'll beat ace up.
Now the rest or heartslabyul really doesn't react to you, you're kinda just another student. No one looks out for you but no one in the dorm harrases you. Now when it comes to female stuff, everyone in this dorm gets real awkward about it. On your period and are Bleeding through your WHITE dorm uniform? Everyone swet drops but only a few people speak up. If you do end up having to share a dorm room (even with riddle throwing a fit) the other boys in the room would be respectful and change in a bathroom instead of the room. They also would allow you access to the bathroom first ( unless it's ace. Then he pushes you out the way saying "Ladies first my ass" ).
Anyone who harrases you will face Riddles wrath though. Oh and the one brain cell duo. Riddle will be more proper by lecturing them but if the One brain cell duo gets ahold of them, then lights out.
Savanaclaw
Leona let's you off easier then the other students. Mostly cause he is mildly intimidated by you. He knows you aren't a beastman, but it's still ingrained into him to respect females. So if you just stand up to him and be like "yeah no" he won't really fight you. If you are on the softer side, he'd slowly but surely start to have a soft spot for you. He'd still respect you, even if you weren't a fighter. He'd just be more of an asshole if you didn't scare him as much.
If you were forced to share a room, it wouldn't be long before you had your own room since there are a lot of drop outs. Leona would put in the hardwork of making ruggie clear you out a room to yourself.
Ruggie's mostly the same way, he mostly respects you and your stuff. He won't take your stuff either just because of that slight fear. If you befriend him, he'll be more likely to share his food with you then with a guy.
Jack mostly treats you as an equal. No more, no less. Though he can be kinda awkward at first, once you befriend him he's a lot more chill.
Now the rest of Savanaclaw is spilt into two. Seeing you are the mom of Savanaclaw or being sexiest against you. If you are a fighter then you can easily put the sexiest ones in their place. If not, Jack can do it for you. Mostly the ones who see you as mom, would go to war for you. Like you are highly respected. Now if you accept the title then it's a whole lot of caring for dumbass's after fights, and making sure everyone hydrates after work outs. If you don't accept it, it doesn't matter cause they aren't dropping it. But you can kick their ass if they get to annoying.
During sports you have a whole line of bestmen and humans alike cheering for you! Like personal cheerleaders. And during school hours you have a bunch of guys coming through checking up on you, seeing if you are okay. They gotta take care of their dorm mom.
If you get your period, the whole dorm knows. Fun fact, period blood doesn't smell like fresh blood so they know it's your period to. Expect to find a basket of chocolate at your door, with a note saying " please accept this, in return don't kill us."
Octavinelle
Azul has a different opinion depending on what you are like.
I imagine if you got sorted into this dorm then you are more like a shady capitalist. If that's the case then he constantly feels threatened by you and has the Twins keep an eye on you.
If you are more Naive or more sweet then he is a lot less afraid and he puts you to work at the Lounge. Like as a hostess or a waitress, in order to lure more costumers.
If you were forced to share a room with boys he'd arrange another room for you...for a price. Man has no chill.
Jade doesn't really treat you any differently. More or less isn't fazed. He will still beat you up if he has to, and it won't make him go softer on you.
Floyd also doesn't care. He treats you the same as well. Honesty I could see him forgetting you are a girl. If you are a bit curvier he will squish you more. If you are the skinny side he likes to shake you. He swears you raddle. He will base his nickname off your personality, rather then your gender.
As far as the other students? Well everyone tries to budy up with you just purely based on business. It's an opportunity to get you to do stuff for them. If you're at negotiation then you'd be sitting pretty on favors, thaumbucks, and stuff.
Now if you choose not take Azul up on his deal and you are forced to share a room, they will be respectful and not change in front of you but other then that? You are on your own unless they owe you. Need pads/ tampons? Sams shop isn't to far away and you have working legs. It can be kinda hard to make friends in this dorm, with everyone being so shady and always wanting something from you. There really isn't anyone to help if you get harrassed either (unless you befriend the twins, then big scary dog previlige), though if you complain to Azul enough he will step in. You have to be pretty independent to be in this dorm.
Scarabia
Kalim and you are besties. It doesn't matter if agreed to it, he just thinks you are so cool! He treats you like his little sister...so basically like all the other students. He is always inviting to parties and he will take you out on magic carpet rides! He may come off strong but he just wants you to feel comfortable. He does put a lot of stress on jamil though with this...well even more stress.
I feel like if you had to share a room with boys and said you weren't comfortable with that then he would build a whole new just for you! Oh come on, it's the least you he could do to make you comfortable.
Jamil takes a lot longer to be cozy with you. He treats you with respect but doesn't really interact with you more then he has to which he has to a lot thanks to Kalim. Unless you befriend him somehow, then he slowly becomes more protective over you.
Kalim tries his best but doesn't understand female problems. Jamil on the other hand is the one to call if you have really bad cramps that wont go away or need help getting pads/tampons. Just take it easy on him, he's already got a lot to deal with.
The rest of the dorm is pretty nice to you. Most of them try to be helpful where they can, and it's really easy to befriend guys your age. Not a lot of harassment happens here but when it does Jamil will handle it unless you take care of it yourself. Even if he doesn't like you that much, he still doesn't believe in acting that way to girls just cause his little sister.
if you refused to let Kalim build you a room then some of the boys would move in with each other to let you have a room to yourself.
Pomefoire
Vil is even harder on you then he is on other students. He doesn't want you to get away with stuff and not put your best in just because you are female. He will push and push to do your best. From skin care regimens and diets, to work outs and class's on etiquette (depends on what you need according to him.) you would be his secret favorite but he would never tell anyone. Best believe though you will have your own room, and bathroom. He'll get you to chat with him. Tell him who you like, who bothers you. I can just see him judging whoever you like so hard. especially if it was another Dormleader like " Really? Couldn't you do a little better?"
Rook is a little more flirty to you, but not to much that anyone notices. I think flirty is just his personality. Anyways he is a real gentleman, still does as Vil says but gently. He also seems to get a bit protective over you, often getting people when they make you uncomfortable, even if you can handle it yourself.
He thought you were just a girly guy like him at first. Once he finds out your a girl, Epel thinks he has to look out for you. But makes a bunch of off hand comments that make Vil smack him. He is one of those "you can't hit a girl" kind of dudes.
As for the rest Pomefiore, they don't even notice you are a girl. Even if you very curvy. They just think it's drag or something. If your Skinner they just think your a normal student. Unless you tell anyone you are a girl they won't know. If you do tell them they don't care. I can't really see anyone in the dorm messing with you. If not from pure "I don't care enough" then it's the fear of Vil and Rook.
Vil refuses to let you share a dorm room, even if you are fine with it. Unlike Riddle he won't try to go through Crowley. He'll just do it. If there aren't any other rooms then you can stay with him. He if that does happen, he will be very respectful but you won't be able to escape his nagging.
I can see Vil kind of catering to your needs. Like he keeps tampons and pads in the dorms bathroom and giving you ways to get blood out of your clothes. He wants you to feel comfortable.
Ignihyde
Idia, talking to someone? Let alone a girl? Yeah no. He maybe talked to you once or twice because Ortho made him. He stays as far away from you as possible.
Ortho and you are friends. He is just so adorable how could you not? Even if you are shy, it's fine cause he's not. Once you are friends he constantly trying to get his brother and you to interact, but that works as well as trying to introduce water and oil.
Don't worry about sharing a room either cause if you have to, your dorm mates are never there. They refuse to interact with anyone. Hell, I can imagine a student making a wall divider just so no one doesn't have to talk.
It's safe to say no one is gonna harass you. They would feel scared being around you. I guarantee you that they have never talked to a real girl, and they don't plan to. That does mean you are on your own, about everything. It can also be hard to make friends but not impossible. Just hard. But hey you have the best wifi in the whole school! I imagine if you are in this dorm you are probably more antisocial yourself so you are probably fine with no one talking to you. But if you aren't, probably look for friends outside of your dorm.
I'm sorry this one is shorter, there isn't a lot to say on this dorm.
Diasomnia
Malleus is more then welcoming. Though he will keep his distance if you are scared of him. If you aren't then you will quickly become friends with him. He doesn't really see you differently then other students, but he does understand you may find some challenges that other students won't and he tries his best to accommodate to that.
If you share a dorm room, and you aren't comfortable he will get you another room to yourself. Very easily to. If you are fine with it or don't say anything then he won't know to so speak up. Feel free to complain to him. I don't know why but I see him being a softer dorm leader.
Lilia has to adopted you, sorry. Sebek and Silver both betray you, and point to you whenever Lilia asks who wants to try his cooking....if you survived feel free to punch them.
Speaking of Sebek and Silver, Sebek dislikes you. Or at least at first. He thinks your far to close to Malleus, but also you should worship him? Can't have your cake and eat it to. But after awhile he accepts you but barely.
Silver likes you just fine. I can see really anyone getting along with him. The only thing really wrong about him is sleepyness but he can't help that. So you two will probably become friends no matter your personality.
As far as the rest of dorm goes (is there other students? But nah really) most people leave you be. Not really talking to you or paying attention to you. I don't really see anyone fucking with you here, but if they do lilia will see to it if you don't handle it yourself. If Malleus finds out though, boy do they get the hell out of NRC. Malleus doesn't believe in sexism. Really none of the Diasomnia boys do but Malleus and Lilia have the power to do something about it.
Lilia and Silver is a lot more understanding of Female problems then Malleus and Sebek. Silver is a very understanding kind of guy, and Lilia's old has experience. I imagine fae also have periods but they are different. So lilia might not understand entirely but knows the basics. Malleus is clueless though he tries to understand. He will ask questions on everything if you allow him to, if not Lilia will explain. He just wants to know, so he can help. Sebek though just refuses to learn or care. He doesn't see you any different from anyone else really. So he treats you like he does all the other first year's (your poor eardrums). None other then Malleus ( if you've befriended him) are that protective of you. With most viewing you can take care of yourself just fine.
If you do end up sharing a room though, I feel like it'd probably be with Sebek. Who doesn't care whether you are Female or not. He won't change in front of you or try to peep at you. He will leave your stuff alone to. But sharing a room with him comes with it's own challenges.
He will still keep up his shrine to Malleus. He will hog the bathroom half the morning. He will be very loud in the morning and at night. Great seven forbid you stay up past 9pm.
I don't really see you sharing a room with other dorm members but if you do, then they mostly leave you alone. They won't change in front of you but that's it. Not really much to say there.
Bonus
If you leave Bras around your room in ignihyde, One of the boys will faint.
If you're in Pomefiore, you will be one Crewels favorite students.
In Heartslabyul, if you leave a little pad station in the bathroom, some of the first year boys will start using them as badaides.
The Savanaclaw boys use Hair ties and Srunchies as a weapon so if you have long hair, good luck.
If you are in Diasomonia, and rooming with Sebek. If you leave blood on the toilet seat, he will freak out asking in a very tsundere way if you are okay, once it's explained...Lilia will not let him live it down like ever.
If you are in Octavinille, don't ever leave a bra or undergarment in the open. Floyd will use it as a sling shot. (ace would to)
In Scarabia, Kalim forgets you are girl sometimes. Like" hey you want to go swimming with me? I had a pool put in yesterday! Everyone was getting way to hot!" "sorry I can't im on my period" "What?". Jamil faceplamed, cause Kalim knows what a period is, he just forgot you get them.

I've had this in my mind for the longest time now so here goes!
Riddle, Leona, and Malleus has a crush on MC, and one day they find MC trying to write... *gasp* a love letter! But they went "Oh, that isnt right... Maybe I'll find the words later." and tried to throw it away, only for it to end up in the boys' hands. How would they react when they realize the letter is addressed to them?
Thank you for sending an ask! Thank you so much for your patience.
Riddle, Leona, and Malleus + Finding Reader writing a love letter!
Riddle Rosehearts
Tumblr media
Riddle isn’t usually one to pry, especially when it involves affairs that don’t involve him, but you looked like you needed help writing a letter. Something he could definitely help with if you needed help articulating words.
When he saw you toss it away, he was a little confused but ultimately decided to leave it alone. That was until he noticed his name written in cursive on the front of the paper.
Does he know that’s incredibly invasive? Yes, but you seemed really stressed out over something you could just tell him yourself. He was a smidge worried.
So he reads the letter and is shocked with the revelation of you having a crush on him. He read it multiple times, trying to see if this was a joke or not. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to just go up to you and ask.
“Do you have a moment? I’d like to know if you were also interested in me? Pardon me for being so blunt, but I feel it’s best to just it off of my chest. *He then chuckles nervously*”
Leona Kingscholar
Tumblr media
Leona also usually doesn’t get into people’s business, mostly because you couldn’t pay him to care. But he sees Grim pulling on your sleeve towards him with a letter in your hand in the distance and he starts to believe that this might become his business soon.
He didn’t move a muscle. If you were gonna come to him, then he’d talk to you about it. However, he thought it was kinda funny to just watch you try to avoid this.
You manage to get Grim to drop it and you guys go off to buy tuna. What you didn’t notice was that the letter had fallen from your hands and Leona picked it up. He says that he was gonna get up anyway, but you know that’s bs.
He reads the letter with a smug expression on his face, and chuckles to himself as he finishes reading. He now sets off to let you know your so called “one-sided feelings” aren’t actually so one-sided.
“Hey, herbivore. You could’ve just said you like me. Didn’t need to do a whole song and dance about trying to avoid it.”
Malleus Draconia
Tumblr media
Malleus watched as you crumpled up yet another piece of paper, wondering what could possibly make you this nervous and upset. In fact, he was just about to get up and ask when you got up and left the library.
The fae walked over to where you were sitting and picked up one of the papers. He justified to himself that he was just cleaning up, but in reality he was just nosy. He started to read one and was surprised to see that they were all addressed to him. He picked up another letter, and just like he thought, it was also meant for him.
After he finished reading one of the more complete letters, he felt his face flush and his heart beat a little faster. His favorite human had feelings for him? Was this a dream?
He knew that he had to come to you right away, but decided that he should also write his feelings in a little letter. The man thought the idea was simply adorable.
So, he walked up to you as usual and gave you the letter with an expectant look. His eyes lit up as you became increasingly flustered reading his letter.
“So child of man, am I safe to assume we share the same feelings? There would be no greater honor than being yours.”

dinner date with the brothers (realistic)
-> brothers x mc
mc's gender is not mentioned, not proof read
content warnings: this is lowkey a shitpost, bad attempts at flirting
a/n: I don't know basic physics so forgive me if not every star can emit light ?? idk also I have no idea if I did something like this before at this point I don't even know what I did and did not already write
-----
Lucifer
your date was probably rescheduled at least 7 times because this man either forgot or arrived way too late the fancy restaurant couldn't give you a table after you missed your reservation (because of work)
hopefully your 30 grimm soup is perfect because he'd get mad at the waiter if the food is 'too cold', he's basically a karen
when he's done eating a meal but you're not he'd just stare at you with no expression on his face and when you're done or notice him he starts a conversation
Mammon
oh he has it all planned out, he's gonna take you to the best restaurant in the devildom and make you madly in love with him
but mammon ends up knocking over a glass of water, falling off of his chair and knocking three waiters down with him like dominoes when trying to flirt with you, it's like he just says your name and chaos unfolds (it's kind of cute)
also mammon wants to pay the bill but he forgot he bought a huge motorcycle the day before so hopefully you brought your card
Leviathan
listen to me, never let this guy plan date night because it will be akuber pizza at 3am in his room (unless you like that I guess) also levi is probably a picky eater so imagine you take him to a fancy place and all he orders is fries
if he likes you enough he will talk about tsl lore the whole time despite mentally swearing not to before the date
sometimes he reads romantic stuff from his phone under the table to you and then proceeds to be embarrassed
Satan
honestly nothing could really go wrong, he arrives on time, he's nice and direct with the waiters, the place has a very nice vibe and his attempts at flirting with you aren't horrible
he's just not the best at starting and keeping conversations alive so maybe there's an awkward silence here and there
the worst thing that could happen is a cat somehow making it into the restaurant and satan climbing over tables to get to it as fast as possible
Asmodeus
he can probably get you into exclusive places, since he's kind of famous
downside to being kind of famous: you might encounter an overly happy fan who isn't rude but just eats your time
asmo doesn't want to be mean and completely ignore his fan but cmon he's literally on a date
he looks at you with the biggest 'help me' eyes so you have to make up some fake emergency so you two can leave
Beelzebub
you know what happens
please book your dinner date 5 weeks in advance and tell them you're bringing beel so the staff can mentally, physically and culinary prepare
but beel is an actual sweetheart to you he lets you eat his curliest curly fries (meanwhile there are waiters crying in the background trying to bring the 100 steaks to your table)
if you tell him you like something he will order 20 more of said dish for you (please give the waiters a huge tip)
Belphegor
he was nervous honestly so he asked to burrow a fancy suit from one of his brothers (even if the date is at akudonald's)
but this man can say the most unhinged stuff with a straight face, followed by a cute compliment
'hey mc you know I wonder if the devildom would notice if I took away the stars one by one until nothing but darkness is left also your eyes look pretty :))'
you know that one song about blinking in morse code to get the waiter's attention? that

i had to block a few anons (or maybe it was just the one?) because im getting the prickling sense that their "mc is pathetic" argument is not being done in good faith and they keep sending me stuff trying to insist that mc is a pathetic loser, but i do want to say that you are not a failure just because you haven't achieved world domination by the time you're 25.
g getting famous at like 15? is the radical thing and it's not normal lmao hence why they're called a 'wunderkind' in the demo, it's not the standard! even victoria, after a career of modeling, is just starting out as an actress. Soft Violence aren't even super famous, but people think that Soft Violence being a little more successful than mc's band means they're misfit alley level...they are not.
i think there is a lesson to be learned here and i think it's rooted in ageism and the idea that life is over after you hit 30. it's not! granted, i am guilty of feeling like this because society forces hustle culture on all of us and they act like the younger you are, the more valid your success is, but it doesn't matter what age you reached success, just that you didn't give up :) there's a lot that we don't know at 20 that we do at 30, as well, and a big portion of that is to try and give up and try again.
i don't think mc is a loser. i love mc <3 more than all the other characters.
mc is also a character who has to go through their own story arc, which means ~transformation~ it's basic writing! and that's why MC may not be at the point that people want but...you're judging MC from the prologue and the first chapter. why would they be successful if the whole premise of this IF is...a competition to get famous? that line of logic doesn’t really make sense to me but alas!
that's all. no more talking about this im begging you because my head hurts from this conversation but the anons are insistent lol.

Hey i just read your touchstarved headcanons and I LOVE IT!!!
And Here’s my request is that can you do a scenario of TS boys with MC who can speak different languages??? (like Italian or French)
Don’t worry i am a patient person and I won’t rush you. And i hope you’ll make more scenarios of the TS boys in be future.
YES HI HELLO !! I am, SO SO SORRY for taking two thousand centuries to respond to this—I’ve been pretty stressed over work so I haven’t been able to write headcanons as much— BUT TYSM FOR THE ASK !! IM SO HAPPY YOUVE ENJOYED MY HEADCANONS !
I do want to apologize in advance that these are going to be shorter and less one-shot like, than my others. These will be more like my Kuras Headcanons I made awhile ago—(Life has been kicking my butt lately so my motivation has been LOW)
But I hope you still enjoy them !!
Also huuuuge thanks to @danyvhell-writes
For helping me with these ideas !! You’re a saint 🙏
ALR LES GO
Note: gn reader! Fluff
Warnings: PROBABLY OOC PLS DONT HATE ME
Ais
ALR ALR AHAHAHAHA
So, one of my besties would do this A LOT where she would just switch into Spanish and I’d just be there like ???
So I thought it would be funny if you did that with Ais here
Imagine you’re in some kind of argument, a stupid, light one you know— and to annoy him
YOU JUST SWITCH INTO A WHOLE DIFFERENT LANGUAGE
He’s completely stunned, red eyes wide as you just start rambling, (very passionately) in a language he doesn’t understand
As you go on though, he just becomes utterly impressed, watching your mouth as he studies the words coming out of it (and just because he’s flirty LMAOOOO)
After you’ve had your fun, he comments something like “Impressive, Sparrow.” And then asks you, ofc, if you can teach him what you said
To tease him a bit more, you don’t tell him for a bit until he BRINGS OUT THESE GIANT PUPPY EYES
So you do start teaching him, just long evenings hunched over books or a paper as you teach him different phrases and words, the candle light dancing on his focused gaze.
And one day, out of the blue, he starts calling you Sparrow in the language you were speaking(and you also hear him practice words while talking with Princess—AND ITS SO ADORABLE)
After he’s becoming pretty good at it, you then proceed to tease other people(Leander) by randomly switching mid-conversation into a different language <33
Leander
NOW WITH THIS ONE, it reminded me of this really cool video of a guy switching between loads of languages in one song
IMAGINE showing this off to Leander one rowdy night at the Wet Wick
Maybe it’s even one of his favorite songs ??? And hearing you sing it in so many languages would absolutely knock him off his feet.
Another thing I think he’d go CRAZY FOR
Pet names, in whatever language.
Like ?? You call him something like “Mi amor…” for Spanish, or “Tesoruccio.” For Italian ??
He’s done for. Doomed. Dead. Will beg you to repeat it over and over while he showers your hands or arms with kisses.
He’s also one that would definitely be okay with you calling these pet names in public—he wants to be all smug that HES the one called yours.
He probably also learns whatever language you speak as well, might already know it because bro probably had tutors that taught him so many languages man.
In return for the pet names, he probably calls you something like “λατρεία μου” or “latria mu” (My adored !!! 🥹 in greek)
Kuras
NOW, THIS IS INTERESTING
I’m guessing since Kuras is an Angel, he knows like ??? Every language?
So when he finds out you speak others, he’s instantly curious, impressed, and now it’s quiz time.
You pass by a certain object, plant, anything, and he asks you how to say it in your language(s). Even if he may already know, he likes to hear it coming from you, enjoying the glint in your eyes as you explain things.
Another thing he’ll do, is when you’re having a library date, he’ll hand you a book and request you translate it. Either from your language to—whatever language people speak in Eridia ?? Or from that language to yours.
These will turn into nightly strolls with you translating a poem or book as he strides beside you, golden eyes locked on every word.
In return, he’ll translate whatever text into a language you don’t know. (I wonder if angels have a specific language??)
A name for him, I think it’d be cute if you called him 아름다운 천사 (Beautiful Angel in Korean !!)
Whether this is after or before you know he’s an Angel, he finds it both amusing and endearing. (Or painfully ironic if his life as an Angel is a tough subject)
Mhin
OKAY SOSOSOSOSO !! Mhin evidently thirsts for knowledge, they’re a lil nerd and they’re rlly bad at hiding it (A mood really. one of the reasons I love them <3) and my friend mentioned they’re more of a listener? So like I can see them just—paying very close attention to every word you say
At times they may not seem to be listening to you as you ramble, or catch a few words of slang from your language(s). But they’re actually secretly a sponge and soak up every little detail.
And now this may be just me but Mhin gives off such I must impress you with all my random facts vibes.
They ask questions about the languages you speak, the slang, the meanings, how to pronounce things correctly, everything
And then they do their own research, soaking up all they can before appearing to you one day and just starting the conversation in your language(s)
When you show any sign of being impressed, they will look away blushing and try to act cool but nahhh buddy you aren’t fooling anyone we know you spent forever working on that
Similar to Ais, lots of late night lessons where you get to teach Mhin about your language(s)! Just you two looming over an open book, Mhin scribbling down notes, looking so concentrated and you even spot a smile starting to form as they start getting better and better. (I love themmmmm 😭)
Mhin asks you to quiz them a lot, and looks so !! !! Just proud of themself when they pass. (Before realizing it and their self loathing kicks in and they revert back to >:( ) You want to tell them that they don’t need to be quizzed but look at their face !! Let them impress you okay !! They’re top 1 student !!
If you want you can joke about them having to call you Professor(Mc) or something but ur just gonna get a deep frown and glare like 😒 nuh uh AHAHSHS
Vere
Ohhh vere my nemesis. (He’s the toughest for me to write i have to like mentally and physically ambush him in a fast food parking lot before I can get anything outta him)
(I love him so much though so here we go !! Thanks to my friend for giving me a lot of help in this one because otherwise I’d be a doomed woman)
My friend brought up since he’s a fox, he’s very sensitive to sound !! So when you’re speaking in your mother language, he notices how your tone might change, watches as your tongue moves against your teeth or the top of your mouth, idk but he makes it a sensual thing somehow 😭
Definitely flirts with you in your language(s), says the most outrageous thing and watches as you get stunned or flustered by it, absolutely delighted that no one but you (or anyone who’s unfortunately being nosy and can understand) knows what he’s saying.
Okay this may be dumb but it’s so funny to me imagine Vere like putting on his most smooth, seductive tone, convincing the people around that he’s gonna say like the most erotic thing but he ends up just saying something like 💀 “Avocados” in your language(s) or like “Leander looks like a chicken breast” he does it to see you laugh but also because Leander overhears and could tell his name was said and thinks Vere is like— finally coming around but only you two rlly know Vere is just sexily roasting him.
Due to recent lore being dropped, and in his lil character sheet, it says Vere has a huge love for the arts. I think it’d be really neat if you introduced him to things specifically written in your language(s) !! Like books that originated from your country, plays that are only acted in that language(s), just a tour of the language! And if he doesn’t know your languages(s) then teaching him is gonna be like 💀 somehow so flirty
Will definitely call you Professor(Mc) but he makes it sound absolutely horrendous and cringey and you will regret it you probably should turn back
Jokingly will ask if you’ll give him a golden sticker if he behaves—do it, just to humble him.
OKAY WE’VE REACHED THE END WOOOT WOOT !!!! I DIDNT THINK I’D MAKE IT !!! Been stuck in this endless void for ages !!
Hem hem, thanks so much for the ask !!! I’m so so sorry it took forever 😭 writer’s block nearly had my head this time uh oh
Thank you again to my bestie for helping me out !!
Now I hope you see the most beautiful sunset, eat your favorite dessert, learn something new, and have a happy spring !! 🫶🩷✨

Overblot mc/yuu but...????
TW — mention of vomiting, fighting Crowley and winning (sorry Crowley lovers), past death. I like thinking a lot tbh
not necessarily angst but it is in here! Same with fluff...this was really just me rambling.
* EDIT: WHY DID IT TAKE HOURS UNTIL I FINALLY GOT TOLD I WAS WRITING OVERBLOT WRONG.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think about MC overbloting a lot and I also think about adding it into my own books because of how??? good??? the idea???? is???????
I genuinely imagine that even from the start MC was in danger of overbloting themself, with the stress and despair of finding out they aren't in THEIR world, away from their (family and/or friends) with possibly NO WAY BACK EVER because of some egocentric crow refusing to do more than he wants to???????
They would obviously be hella upset, stressed, depressed, anxious, etc because they know NOTHING of this world and is practically a BABY among people who lived here THEIR WHOLE LIFE.
So as more overblots happen, the more their OWN overblot is brewing. Bubbling, waiting to enter the game. Especially with the magic always getting slashed onto them. I think the only reason why they HAVEN'T overbloted just yet is because of grim
a more personal headcanon; Grim's fire, when you have a close bond with him, sorta starts erasing your blot and fueling HIS flames, making it more powerful. Essentially, think of when you're close friends with someone... you'll find it easier to fight for them right?? like you have more power to do that??? that's what its like
Now think of when MC is just TOO deep in their mind, TOO deep into their emotions and its the ONE TIME grim isn't there to help. They go to throw up blot and after panicking for a bit they just accept it. They accept that "I'm gonna overblot and probably die" because they're just too tired to worry abt themself
They don't tell anyone and since the overblot is already taking over the entire inside of their body, grims flames can't really???? get it all???? It'll always be there and it'll continue to grow and slowly grim notices that when he's feeling more powerful than ever while MC is showing obvious signs of getting ready to overblot
Grim choosing not to say anything to other people would be like... i guess out of character but at the same time i think In character????? He knows how tired MC is with dealing with everyone and honestly he's tired of it too so YASSS SLAY HENCH-BESTIEEE!!!!!
Sooner or later the others would notice too and it would be a little late to help MC since the overblot is already seeping out of their skin like they're crying. and honestly? their body IS crying. it's crying blot. And even as everyone is screaming and panicking about MC, they're just... sitting there.
Like they're annoyed everyone is making a big deal out of it considering no one cared before, and they're just like "stfu we're in class" and then focus on the teacher going "u can continue im sorry abt that."
And everyone is just??? confused?? because why aren't they going haywire or like.....???? idk..... crying in pain....????? what...........
MC just chilling the entire day while overbloting, even their overblot monster just floating behind them in peace and waving at times when people look for too long while everyone else is wary and giving them (+ grim who's always in MC's hold) a bunch of space while the teachers and dormleaders have their pens/wands/wtvr thr fuck at command just incase
but then everyone just realizes that??? MC isn't gonna???? do anything?????? and it kinda irritates them because why aren't you doing shit its freaking them out.
And lets say,,, ortho... as discreetly as he can... scans you. And it shows that you're perfectly fine??? like you aren't dying or in pain. It even shows the Blot monster being alright too like its just a guy standing there.
And now the confusion is up to 100 because WHAT????
MC and the Blot [+ Grim] just doing their everyday assignments and eating in the cafeteria with their friends being visibly tense and MC just raises an eyebrow like "whats wrong with yall tf" before continuing to absolutely DEMOLISH a burger they got for free. FREE!!! best day ever fr they'll tell you that much
I feel like the Blot would get sorta aggressive/protective when it comes to people who has like hurt MC to the point they had to take a nurse visit (half of the school but its alr we gang fr) but when it comes to crowley....??? They'll see the FULL POWER of a magicless blot monster which is actually more terrifying than the others.
The blot going hulk on crowley is so funny to imagine for me cause he'd just be running away and suddenly gets smashed into a pillar from a literal stomp. just one. and it was relatively weak compared to the Blot AND MC picking up and swinging that SAME PILLAR to smash it into crowley.
All that anger and other negative emotion finally coming out the SECOND they even so as HEAR that crows heartbeat nearby. It gave everyone whiplash but then again they also all collectively thought that he deserved it considering he hasn't truly done anything to HELP the students but just to HELP the schools reputation.
I'm half certain a student died there and he just covered it up and they turned into a ghost that haunts places. (i mean... look at the three ghosts in Ramshackle. they used to be students there I'm pretty sure????? i forgot.)
As MC is beating the DOG SHIT out of crowley the Blot is just cleaning everything up slowly because they realized that they dirted up the place :( and when MC is done they help too as the teachers all circle around a throughly beaten and bruised Crowley who has blood seeping out of his mouth while being half awake.
Of course they help him don't die because they honestly don't want the one helpful person to go to the equivalent of jail in twisted wonderland for committing murder and ykw thats so real.
I feel like as Mc stays in this overblot form everyone thats close-ish to them gets memories of things that's happened to them in the past like how MC did. But it's worse. I want an mc thats traumatized im sorry and i want it to be worse than what half of these guys went through.
I need them to feel guilty even more. Like. "Oh my god I really said that when— holy shit" FEEL BAD!!!!! Grim would already know their past because I know I would be cuddling into Grim's stomach and crying about everything.
When Mc finally stops "Overbloting", the Blot would still be there but as its own person :D How does this work????? it works bc I said it does.
The Blot™ would help MC a lot and vice versa, basically acting like parents now with how worried they get over everyone and the other. Grim is eating the attention up though as both Mc and The Blot cuddle as therapy (and bc they wanna)
Everyone (especially idia) would need time to like... get used to that because there's "NO FUCKING RECORD OF AN OVERBLOT BECOMING ITS OWN PERSON AND BEING....NICE?????"(shrouds words not mine ong) and when they do get used to it its like everyone is genuinely happier because! gasp! they are!!!
kick the crow out the seat. Both the Blot and Mc are the new headmaster contrary to the students voting them when Crowley got demoted from it.
I also feel like....??? Instead of MC goinf back home cause they realize just how BAD it was back home, they choose to have a bridge between both realities so that its their (friends and/or families) choice on if they want to be with them in twisted wonderland or not.
Tumblr media
MC & Blot beating the shit outta Crowley as everyone watches (and cheers)

Head-Empty Headcanons
Things they say, think, and do that prove they are a bit air-headed. 
Genre: Headcanons, Comedy
Characters featured: All Obey Me! Characters (yes, even the new ones!)
Whenever Mc is mentioned its unrelated to their gender!
CW: swearing!
A/N: The brain rot is real this morning, and I haven’t done anything super silly in awhile, so here!
Tumblr media
Belphegor
The weirdest shit always comes out of his mouth when he’s half awake. 
Will ask the most ridiculous questions when he’s in between naps or when he’s just woken up because his brain is on autopilot, like along the lines of “Do you think pigeons have feelings?” 
Does not look when he crosses the street.
Will literally ask what you said after being annoyed that you asked if he was listening. 
Has drank water while laying down and choked himself. 
Beelzebub
3 balls bopping around his head at all times are Food, Workout, and MC like a game of Pong
Blinks one eye at a time. It’s subtle but he totally does it. 
Has eaten the fortune out of a fortune cookie because he thought that was part of the process of making the fortune come true. 
When told by MC he had to rinse rice before cooking it he asked if he needed to use soap. 
Has eaten whole, raw, potatoes because he thought it would give him protein like eating raw eggs would. 
Asmodeus
He’s pretty; he doesn’t have to be smart.
Once stared frustratingly in the mirror for 15 minutes trying to figure out why the phrase written on his shirt was backwards. 
The first time he dyed his hair, he got mad that it didn’t grow the same color out of his scalp.
Forgets that he owns something and will by numerous duplicates. 
1000% has fallen for MLM scams
Satan
No thought only cat.
You need to watch him like a toddler if you take him to the zoo. He will try to jump into every big cat enclosure. 
Has started fires in his room multiple times because he put candles on top of his books (Seriously dude your room is a fire hazard) but is still clueless as to how it happened.
The first time he saw a racoon he thought it was a rare breed of cat and tried to snuggle it.
Leviathan
Somebody take his screens away. 
Has 100% tried to “Back Space” words when writing physically with pen and paper.
More than once has screamed at a game system for not working when he had just not realized that it was unplugged.
Has definitely run into walls after sitting 2 feet away from his giant TV like a 3 year old. 
Has completely ignored and walked away from people because he is too busy creating a theme music for himself as he’s doing something that he perceives as cool.
Mammon
I think I could never run of ideas for how airheaded this man is, but I’ll go for the abstract ones since there are many that are obvious.
One of those dudes who thinks pee comes out of the vagina. 
Definitely goes down existential rabbit holes because of questions like “Is cereal a soup” or “is a hotdog a sandwich”
Will literally believe anything you tell him if you say it with enough sincerity- even if it’s the most ridiculous thing you could think of. 
100% believes that horror movies like Friday the 13th are based on true events and is convinced that most humans die by serial killers
Lucifer
This man has absolutely done the dumbest shit when he is sleep deprived. 
Will lose things that he is holding in his hands as he’s using them- often it’s his pen or his phone. 
has drank scalding hot coffee because he forgot it was too hot to drink. 
Leaves things in the oven and microwave all the time. Usually Beel finds it and eats it, and he’s none the wiser.
Talks to himself all the time, usually giving reminders to do things or a grocery list, but also will just narrate things. 
 Literally a Golden Retriever.
Diavolo
Holds up his his fingers in an L shape to determine right from left- which never works because he forgets which way an L is supposed to go. 
Will believe pretty much anything you tell him about the human world if you say it with enough conviction.
Constantly doing the most ridiculous things without thinking of the consequences- often times leaving Lucifer or Barbatos to clean up his mess. 
Constantly bothers Mc, Lucifer, and Barbatos when they’re busy- even after just being scolded for being a distraction- because he forgets that they’re doing something and wanted to show them something cool
Barbatos
He’s probably the least ditzy, but even he has his moments.
Walks into the kitchen and forgets why he was going in there. All the time. 
Accidentally goes through all of the Little D’s names before getting the right one- even if he had JUST done the same thing for a different little D
Will step out the door to go somewhere with Lord Diavolo and immediately wonder if he left the Stove on. He will go check, and still wonder if it’s on 5 hours later. 
Mephistopheles
Simp! Simp alert!
Will do anything you tell him if you said “Well, I guess I could go ask Lucifer to do it...” even if its embarrassing or flat-out dangerous lol
Diavolo occupies his brain at all times so he’s often distracted by intense pining for their “friendship” that was totally not a one-way crush. (go listen to “When Somebody Loved Me” from Toy Story 2 lol)
One of those “Um AcTUaLly” bros who is always wrong about the thing they’re correcting you on to an absurd degree. 
Somebody go teach grandpa how to use a computer. 
Simeon
Has definitely given his computer a virus by clicking a popup ad, and also fell for the “Nigerian Prince” emails
“Do you think someone would just go on the internet and tell lies?” 
No seriously he will see some wild conspiracy on Devilgram or Devilbook and be convinced it is real. Lord help him. 
Definitely thinks Boomer memes are funny. Send him a minion, he will laugh his ass off. 
Raphael
Elevator music playing in his brain at all times.
Immediately choses violence as an option every time no matter the circumstances and this is quite literally CANON.
Is always the last to know some secret that isn’t really a secret and is really obvious. 
Will test the sharpness of his spears by jamming them into the ground, and then get mad when he cant yank them back up. 
Luke
Just a poor child trying his best. Someone teach him. 
Probably didn’t know what a chihuahua was when someone first compared him to one but was too embarrassed to admit he didn’t know so he just like. Went with it. Until he found out they are a tiny yippy dog- then he got angy. 
Absolutely believes that babies come from the Stork. 
Thought the “PG” movie rating meant “Pretty Good.”
Solomon
His cooking cant be that bad...can it?
Will throw quite literally anything into a pot when cooking, even if it doesn’t make sense to do so, because he likes to “experiment” 
The first time he sees a fidget spinner he loses his fucking mind. “What is this? It’s spinning! I am in pure bliss!”
Has definitely blown up a classroom at RAD because he snuck in a potion to test out and accidentally dropped it.
Has definitely said some really outdated cringy slang. “Tubular!” “Oh man, so grody!” 
Thirteen
Conspiracy theorist- for sure.
Didn’t believe that Belphie and Beel were twins because they didn’t look alike (she did not know fraternal twins were a thing).
Is convinced that Solomon is an alien. 
Mispronounces words all the time because she rarely talks to others until the exchange program and primarily sees things written (e.g. Fragile as “Fra-gee-lay” and Bologna as “Bow-log-nah”)
Does not test her traps before using them, and gets mad when they don’t work.

A Twisted Host Club
★ * • .☆  ’ • ⋆
[kicks a hypothetical door down] hello I’ve been hit with a funny idea and my brain demands to write it down so here are some thoughts of an Ouran Twst AU??? It’s been a while since I’ve touched Ouran though so this is just some general ideas that came to me.
Little notes:
Magic is a thing but not too relevant?? I was thinking of this as more of a regular high school AU but has a variety of species (ie merfolk, beastmen, fae). tbh it might just be more focused on transformations and allowing other kinds of folks into one school.
MC is kept gender neutral. You can imagine them following the same thing as Haruhi or not, but thats up to the reader.
The Host Club is the main cast, but I tried to include everyone and your connection to them lol
Most of the students here have money/are rich in some form/have connections to wealth.
RSA is still a rival academy I just didn’t have too many thoughts about them to throw them in here atm.
Tumblr media
Yuu / the reader - The rare scholarship kid at NRC. Smart and generally keeps to themselves. They are in the middle class and while not “poor” they are compared to most in the school. Initially interested in the photography club but got dragged into the Host Club after their cat, Grim, broke a rather expensive vase. You start off being a gopher for the club members, but by the end of the day you’re the pretty commoner that the rich folk flock to to get an insight at that “poor” lifestyle. Its weird but you definitely feel better knowing that you can survive in the world without money compared to those here.
Crowley - Your adoptive father who was the one that pushed you into attending NRC. He doesn’t tell you he’s the principal of the school until you actually get in. Surprise! He uses the excuse of not playing favorites yet boasts that you got in all of your own accord with no strings attached! You just have to pay for things out of pocket if you want anything, like say, a uniform for example. He is rather flaky, but he provides you a home and food, thankfully.
Grim - A stray cat that lived around Crowley’s home and that you picked up when you moved in. He’s a bit mischievous and glutton, but adores your attention. Your first day of school had him meowing out for you. He managed to get out of the house and followed you to school. Trying to keep the cat hidden proved to be difficult and eventually a failure on your part when he led you to a fancy club room and broke a priceless vase. At least he’s popular amongst the girls and now acts like a mascot for the Host Club.
Host Club
Vil Schoenheit - The infamous president and leader of the Host Club. A young star model and actor. His father had acted in the Host Club in his youth and he decided to take the reigns when it was his turn to attend NRC. He uses it as a form of training, acting for others given their wishes. But he’s also fairly strict on those in the club and those he performs for. If you want him to lend an ear, be prepared for some harsh and blunt words. Most who come to see him are more for his popularity and celebrity status, others come to learn from him, whether it be for acting or skin care routines.
Vil always seems to be angry or disappointed with you. It’s hard to tell why, yet he’s the one that cleans you up and makes you look like a whole new person. While you now physically fit in with the rest here, you must act like it too. Even if you’re simply paying off a debt, you’re part of the club and you will act like a member. He’s always keeping an eye on you though and thinks you have potential. And he may have a soft spot for you to. While he won’t say it aloud, he hopes you stay even after your debt is paid.
Epel Felmier - Vil’s forced understudy. He’s been designated to be the one to take over and lead when Vil graduates but Epel has no interest in being a host. He hates being called cute and has only recently been learning to use it to his advantage. Epel longs to be in a sports club and skips out to join in on activities when he can. Despite being from the countryside, he does have funds thanks his family’s apple business.
Epel tends to go to you to complain about Vil. You’re in the same boat as him after all! He knows he can be rowdy and drop the prim and proper act around you too. He’s someone you can talk to and not have to worry about the financial gap. You’re always the first one he offers his apples to. You also share the same classes as him, so you two are generally seen together alot.
Azul Ashengrotto - The businessman behind the Host Club. He generally acts in the background, taking care of funds and making appointments. He doesn’t generally take part in acting as a host, rather as someone who will listen to your woes and even offer to solve all your problems...for an additional price. Most go to him when they have troubles with their grades or want to win the heart of another host, which is, unfortunately, the only wish he cannot grant. He’s in charge of snacks/food offered in the club and has a different theme each week.
It seems like Azul is always finding a way to inflate your debt. You can’t tell how much you owe at any given point and it feels like you’ll be paying it off even after you both graduate. Despite all the finances, he does offer you his time. Tell him your poor woes! He’ll help you out! You’re a little wary but sometimes you do cave, for minor problems though. Surprisingly, most of his payments are through information and you can’t tell if thats better or worse than increasing your debt. Still, he is an upperclassman you can turn to if you have studying problems. Which, thankfully, isn’t something you have to go to him for.
Jade & Floyd Leech - The twins of the club and Azul’s childhood friends much to his dismay. Seen together nearly everywhere they go, they always seem to be plotting something. They assist Azul with snacks but take their own twist on it when he’s busy. Jade offers a kind hand to all those in need, but he’s a little...odd about it. He knows more than he lets on and can serve anyone. Most first timers are sent to him. Floyd, on the other hand, is for the thrill seekers. When he’s in a good mood, at least. He doesn’t really do hosting, just plays around with those that go to him. Wanna play tag? Some new commoner sport? ‘Escape’ from the cruel tentacles of Azul? If he’s in a bad mood you can usually just vibe beside him or try to lift his mood. He likes to ‘squeeze’ people whenever he can, whether they are his clients or not.
Jade enjoys surprising you in many ways. He’s usually the first to greet you at the door, always knowing when you’ll be arriving even when you’re late. He appears to be under the guise of making you feel welcomed in this unfamiliar environment. It’s hard to believe him though. He enjoys the fact that you’re willing to try out his specialty dishes despite what may be in them. Whether its braver or hunger driving you, he’s curious. He wants to observe you and learn more about the little debtling in the club.
Floyd is one that always enjoys seeing you even outside of the club. It’s not surprising to be snatched away by him. If anyone is going to ruin your perfect attendance, its going to be him. Still, he enjoys your presence in the club too. He finds you entertaining and tries to get you to break more valuables just to keep you here. When he’s in a bad mood you’re the one they call on if no one else can get him to lighten up.
Kalim Al-Asim - One of the richest students in school. He’s energetic and kind and a lovable sweetheart. He’s here really just to have fun and enjoy his youth. Being in this club was mostly on a whim but he ended up loving it. Most go to him if they’re feeling down because he has a gift for lifting even the darkest of spirits. Some try to get his hand in marriage but attempts are either thwarted by Jamil or go over his head or both.
Kalim always brightens up your day. You hate to admit it, but he really does seem to turn any frown upside down. He’s the one thats furthest away from living a normal lifestyle and takes interest in any “commoner” thing you may have. Instant coffee, while not his thing, is such a fascinating thing to him. He usually offers to share his lunch with you. You think he’s too kind, even since he offered to pay off your debt. Sometimes you wish you’d taken it but would rather not be in debt to him and his family for the remainder of your life, even if he does say otherwise.
Jamil Viper - Kalim’s childhood friend and retainer. He’s here mostly to protect Kalim but ended up being caught up in the Host Club thanks to some persuasion from him and Azul. He tries to usher more clients over to Kalim since he isn’t used to the attention. Part of him enjoys being picked over Kalim and being favorites to clients. If Jade’s schedule is filled up, then Jamil is the second one newbies go to. He’s skilled in a variety of things and generally pleases those he’s with with ease.
It was a little difficult getting to know Jamil at first. He always presented Kalim before himself. You learn that he’s smarter and stronger than he appears since he’s meant to protect Kalim, and in turn, you also learn just how important Kalim really is. Jamil finds you to be a little bumbling thanks to your situation but takes interest in how you deny Kalim. Your life could be so easy yet you choose the hard route. While his main goal is to protect Kalim, he ends up protecting you to.
Photography Club
Rook Hunt - An unofficial member of the Host Club. Despite him being in the photography club, he’s seen there more often then his own club. Azul uses him to snag pictures of the members, although most of them tend to be focused on Vil. He’s poetic and interrupts the Host Club’s sessions to praise their charms and beauty.
You try to learn about the Photography Club from him and take tips during your free time. It’s not easy with how he goes off about Vil and the others but you have to admit that he is giving you insight into the rest of the group. You learn that he’s a devoted fan to Vil and someone called Neige, the latter, you learn, is a name that should not be spoken within the Host Club. While Rook is a little odd, he does shower you in praises too. It’s nice to hear something so warm on harsher days or when you think you’ve upset Vil.
Student Council
Riddle Rosehearts - Student Council President. He’s very strict when it comes to rules. Clubs that fail to meet the criteria are known to be disbanded within hours. He doesn’t mind any of the clubs as long as they follow their intended purpose and don’t cause trouble.
Riddle is the top student in his grade and if you were a year older, you might just be academic rivals aiming for the top. He usually keeps an eye on you and your grades, you are a scholarship student after all. More responsibility falls on your shoulders than you think. 
Trey Clover - Riddle’s childhood friend and Vice President. He’s the one that most go to instead of Riddle as he’s much easier to approach. Even so, club problems shouldn’t be passed to him as they eventually meet Riddle.
You’re one of the few, if not only person, that doesn’t think to speak to him first before Riddle. He isn’t sure if he admires your bravery or not. But that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to offer his hand to you. He’s also never going to let you forget the oyster sauce incident.
Cater Diamond - The Secretary of the Student Council. He doesn’t seem to take interest in his role and instead post on social media. He comes off as easygoing and sociable, which makes it easy for him to learn about the other clubs.
You follow each other’s social medias and learn that he’s dying to go to the Host Club. He tries to wiggle his way out of work but Trey never lets him escape. He’s a little ‘jelly’ that you get to spend time with Vil. He usually asks for pics from the club.
Board Game Club
Idia Shroud - The elusive President of the Board Game Club. It’s hard to find him and most times he doesn’t even appear in class. Apparently he has special privileges and has to show up once a week, test days are not included so sometimes twice a week. Most mistaken him for being in the Black Magic Club, even though he’s not. He’s just timid and socially anxious, but lightens up over a good game. His club also counts as one for video games he just has to be sneaky about it whenever Riddle does his monthly rounds.
Idia thinks you’re a weird normie. You’re in a club thats out of your league and somehow socialize with everyone else?! Even him?! Neither of you know of each other’s existence until Ortho brings you together. You enjoy being able to play games without hearing really obvious questions thrown your way and other belittling comments. Idia plays because they’re fun not because he’s interested in the poor folk’s social life of how to pass on boredom. You make a great gaming partner in his eyes, although he won’t say it...thats too hard of a difficulty level for him.
Ortho Shroud - Idia’s younger brother who appears on campus more than his actual brother. He isn’t human but looks one if it weren’t for the gadgets on his cheek that give him a mask or vizor depending on how he feels. Some dote on him and he uses that to his advantage.
You meet unexpectedly, nearly running into the boy who was on a search for his brother. While it gets you in trouble with Vil later on, you decide to assist him. Ever since then, he continues to go to you whenever he wants his brother to do more things in school. Sometimes he drops by the Host Club for ‘research’. He’s curious on how this human activity works and also informs his brother on it too.
Sports Clubs
Leona Kingscholar - Captain of the American Football team. He’s been held back a couple of years but his family provides money so the school doesn’t particularly care. Vil has tried to scout him out for the Host Club before but Leona has no interest in it. While he prefers to laze around, its thanks to him that the school’s team aces every tournament. There are rumors about him using underhanded tactics, but he’s never been caught.
He seems to have little to no interest in you yet enjoys pulling you aside whenever Vil sends you out for some reason or another. It’s like he has a sixth sense, knowing just when to use you for his naps. It’s nice to take a breather from running around and trying to be some host. You do your best not to fall asleep beside him though.
Ruggie Bucchi - Vice captain of the American Football team and Leona’s ‘underling’. He’s another rare scholarship student yet seems to be better off than you, school wise at least considering he has a uniform (although it was a hand me down from Leona, but still). He doesn’t mind playing the poor card and does his best to swindle those rich suckers out of their ‘spare change’. He’s quick on his feet and a jack of all trades. He sometimes works at the Host Club for special events.
Ruggie tends to laugh at your position. Being in debt sucks, but he gets it. He gives tips on how to lessen your debt with Azul considering he works with the guy every now and then. It just costs you a week’s worth of lunch. Paying him in food isn’t so bad, plus you get the occasional snack back when he’s feeling generous. You two joke about eating the rich which is pretty fun...except when getting caught by Leona or Vil.
Jack Howl - Track and Field club member. A first year on the team that shows real promise. He’s pretty popular amongst the sports clubs and was fought over which club to join, but ultimately picked this one. He doesn’t mind helping out other clubs if they’re short a member and as long as it doesn’t interfere with his own. Most people expect him to be a jock of some kind but are surprised by his smarts.
Jack shares a few classes with you. He’s been your classmate and partner. He comes off as cold but when he warms up to you, you can see how friendly he really is. Not many stand up for you, but Jack will. He doesn’t quite like you being in debt to the Host club, but there isn’t much he can do about it unfortunately.
Sebek Zigvolt - Equestrian Club member. A newbie in the club but shows promise. He’s a little on the loud side and you know when he’s coming whether its thanks to his booming voice or thundering footsteps. He goes on about Malleus (whoever that is) and isn’t afraid to lecture others on his greatness. Despite this, he can be quite gullible. He originally wanted to be in the Black Magic Club but Lilia convinced him to expand his interests.
You catch him mostly outdoors or in the hallways thanks to sharing classes. He seems to have a strong distaste for your upbringing. While he scolds you, he does seem to have some heart underneath it all. He doesn’t understand the Host Club at all and ignores the club mostly.
Silver - Equestrian Club member. He has a way with any and all animals. The horses listen to him and so do those in the Animal Breeding Club. It’s surprising he isn’t a member of that club, although they are trying to scout him. He has a bad habit of dozing off anywhere and at any time. It tends to get him in trouble, especially during class. He’s takes everything very seriously.
You stumble upon him once while he’s sleeping. From then on you learn to be more careful. Finding him sleeping is one thing, but finding him sleeping with animals is another. You wake him up when he can and he always thanks you for it. He’s a bit of an enigma but you learn that he is adopted to. His father sounds quite...interesting. And familiar but maybe you’re just imagining things.
Ace Trappola - Basketball Club member. A troublemaker and old friend. He’s carefree and blunt which hardly helps his case. He gets in trouble with the student council president a lot. His grades are mess thanks to the fact that he doesn’t study and loafs off in class, but he can pull out surprising answers if given the chance.
You didn’t expect to see Ace in this school. You knew him for about a couple of years prior to middle school. He laughs at your misery of being a new host and how you wound up in this situation. Still he hangs out with you and causes some mischief in the club. He helps smuggle Grim into classes with you whenever the cat decides to show up.
Deuce Spade - Track and Field club member, but also unofficially in the Gardening Club. He’s an ex-delinquent and is trying to better himself since he was given this chance to be in such a prestigious school. He works hard but his old self shows up every now and then. He has a soft spot for his mother and grandmother. He enjoys sports but finds some peace in the Gardening club. He usually waters/takes care of the plants on emergencies.
Deuce is the first friend you make in this school, that isn’t Ace. He did his best to show you around and act like the perfect honor student. You cheer each other on and study together mostly. He doesn’t like trying to help smuggle Grim into classes, but at this point he’s in too deep and knows how to do it, just like Ace. He offered to fight the Host Club once when he heard you were in debt to them.
Black Magic Club
Lilia Vanrouge - Lilia is the President of the Black Magic Club. It’s more of a place to hang out and escape from the world. Although it’s a little unsettling with how much he knows about demons and curses and whatnot, as if he’s been there to see them all. He’s playful and accepts anyone into his club. He tends to give those in his club a little charm he crafts himself, usually to ward off evil spirits...or so he says.
You stumble into his club one day and he takes an interest in you. It’s been so long since he’s seen someone so out of place in this school. He listens to you and asks for nothing in return, only giving cryptic remarks here and there. He has asked for your blood once or twice and you can’t tell if he was joking about it.
Malleus Draconia Hornton/Tsunotaro - A mysterious student who is supposedly part of the Black Magic Club. It seems to be only in name though as Lilia claims he needed one more student to make the club official, so he offered his name. Apparently he wants to make his own club but doesn’t have sufficient members to join, so he’s under this one for the time being.
When you first meet him, you don’t know who he is. It’s late at night and you’ve been held back at school far too late thanks to your ‘dearest’ father. He seems to have some idea of who you are yet you don’t know him. He prefers to keep it that way and allows you to nickname him. You call him a friend despite not knowing his name and sometimes you think he’s imaginary until you pass him in the hallway. You don’t understand the weird stares you get when you wave to him and he waves back.

hello! please rant about the comphet subtext in ddlc. i wanna hear it so bad please please please please please
Hi! I think I've written on this before, but I can't recall when or where, so I'll try and recall as many points as I can!
This'll be a long one, so under the cut!
For starters, let's talk base game. Obviously, all four girls fall for the MC and that's that. However, watching the ways that the other club members interact, it's pretty clear to many players that they have feelings beyond just friendship.
Namely, I sight Natsuki's poems. First off, the poem "Amy Likes Spiders" can be read as Yuri's love of horror (which is how I initially read it when I first played). However, it's also pretty easy to read this as either Natsuki's experience being trans, or being gay. Either way, that makes the entire narrative of the poem make sense, and also explains lines like "I tried not to let her touch me. She likes spiders, so her hands are probably gross." as well as "It doesn't matter if she has other hobbies. It doesn't matter if she keeps it private. It doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt anyone.
It's gross. She's gross. The world is better off without spider lovers."
Seems pretty clear, right? These lines may feel intense and out of place with other readings, but when you imagine Natsuki being outed to her shit friends as gay, or trans, it all starts to make sense.
Have you ever read the poem "I'll Be Your Beach"? Because it's gay as all hell!
We're led to assume that the romantic poems Natsuki and Yuri write are about the MC, but that would be odd to imagine when reading this poem. Natsuki writes about "your heavy thoughts", "your insecurities", and "your memories" and ends by saying "You'll learn to love yourself again." When, exactly, did the MC express any of these sentiments? Let alone to Natsuki?? But I think it would be pretty easy to connect all of these points to another girl: Yuri.
It's easy to see some strong subtext here for gay Natsuki (and maybe trans too, if you wanna see that). But when we break into the Side Stories, this is where it gets real interesting...
MC is not there. The Side Stories are purely scenes to read through to watch the Literature Club form for the first time as all the girls meet each other and get to know one another. Because of this, we get to see more of them and their feelings toward each other than we could have ever dreamed of in the base game!
Without giving too many spoilers for some of the best scenes in the entire game: the Side Stories are pretty gay. It's nearly impossible to ignore. These girls are clearly imagining each other as more than just friends, are going through some feelings. Each pairing even gets their own spotlight, and we see how each and every one of them has some interest in each other, which is a stark difference from the base game.
The main difference? MC is not there.
The base game has a lot of themes surrounding control, reality, and choices (or the lack thereof). Not only are all the girls destined (or "programmed") to fall in love with MC, it can't be avoided, even by Monika, who wasn't meant to have a route at all. They were already playing with the ideas of fate, and programming, and free will, but what happens when you remove the object that decided their fate?
Well, when we removed MC from the scenario altogether, we see the girls happier, getting along better, and showing interest in one another that we only got in subtext in the base game. To me, this leads to another theme of choice and control: compulsive heterosexuality. If part of the "generic dating sim" frame of their reality is forcing them to express interest in the male protagonist, even if they couldn't care less and really are interested in each other, that's the same themes but on a whole new level.
Left to their own devices, the girls are happy and expressing interest in one another. In the "game" they are forced to play roles in, we see their problems exacerbate, their situation spiraling, as they all desperately cling to the MC as the object of their affection. Seems pretty comphet to me.
Thank you sooo much for this ask! It's been a while since I wrote a long post like this! :D Speaking outside of my own trans/gay perspective, it seems pretty hard to imagine any other future for these girls in light of the Side Stories. And to that extent, I think the Side Stories gives us a window into a happier world; one where they are all free to grow and thrive as who they are, regardless of what that means for each of them! I think that's only further fueled this wonderful fandom: seeing them happy.
and gay.
Thanks again for the ask~!

Honestly, maybe if you were forthright on how the story gonna be like, then the anon(s) wouldn't be so mad. There where a bunch of asks about whether the MC would be competent but instead of giving a straight answer you went about what this story is and isn't without actually answering the questions. Sometimes you make it seem the mC is only relevant because the other characters love the MC, and that's the only merit the MC has. And instead of confirming witch it is, you keep talking about power fantasy like wanting the mc to have qualities other than love interest/siblingtTM is wish fulfillment.
I've scrolled down the whole blog, and don'tknow wha
I know you're probably saying this kindly, but I'm probably going to answer slightly more emotionally than usual. Since you scrolled down the whole blog, you should have a seen idea the kinds of asks I've been answer to and why I might colour my words the way I have been.
But before I do that, I would politely ask you to never try to justify a certain anon's anger or behavior towards me by saying I should do this or that- I'm not here to placate people. I am here to write and produce a story and game. I don't care if people agree with what I say or not, and honestly I don't care if people get angry, but lashing out in anger in THIS fashion is completely unacceptable.
Tumblr media
I believe I have been forthright and I already give away more information about the story and plotline than I really should to temper audience expectations.
I zero in on the 'power fantasy' and 'wish fulfilment aspect' because because that's what, at the end of the day, what those anon(s) want. That's what a large majority of fiction sets out to be. Especially popular media. Wish fulfillment. And it's exactly what I say it is:
A power fantasy is wish fulfillment, empowerment and feelings of accomplishment, in all shapes and forms. It’s feeling you have worth, it’s feeling like you did something good or right. It feeling like your useful. It’s all the things that send the happy feelings to your brain. Being “competent” and “useful” can also falls into that category.
How can I not be more clear that the story is meant to be oppressive and disempowering etc?? That it's not going to be that?? I explain, justify with reasons within the MC background. I've already buildt up and fleshed out in the game why the MC is exactly way they are are the beginning of the game. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME. But if larger thematic concepts are too broad, then I've already said the MC is the underdog. Do people know what that even is anymore? I feel like I'm losing my mind.
So I'll be clear on this once again. This story is not going to give you instant gratification, you might not get it all at. The whole narrative is meant to be bittersweet at best and painfully depressing at worse. That is in almost every aspect of the narrative, including the MC.
You're going be used. You're going to be lied to. You're be betrayed. You're gonna be humiliated. And sometimes, you're going to have to gritt your teeth and move on. The MC is going to have to do that. So does everyone else in this goddamn story.
I don't give concrete answer because it's clear what I deem is competent does not match what others deem competent. Because if I do, people are going to come back and be say "but you said this..., you said that..." No matter what I say or do, people have their own expectations and belief and it's probably not going to live up to those expectations because.
And that's too bad. I've already written enough in Chapter 1 that shows mages and soldier MC can defend themselves just fine. I've already written that the MC can have a fruitful future ahead of them with their conversation with the Empress. They aren't the best in their field- they can't. They're barely an adult when the story starts. Do you hear how crazy that sounds? Most of the cast the far is 5+ years older than the MC. They have wars and conflict to prove themselves. The MC has basically finished high school and can already land a pretty comfortable career in the Empire for the rest of their life already.
This story has magic and monsters and kings and queens, but write my characters with a more realistic foundation. A lot of popular narratives have MC that dominate the narrative and I've telling everyone again, that this is not going to happen. The MC is going to have fight tooth and nail, like everyone else. It's on equal grounds.
And I say that the MC is loved and is relevant for simply being alive and loved- its because they are. The whole narrative conflict of the game is a succession dispute with in the family, were all the current successors have equal claim to the throne- including the MC and their older brothers who love them. It doesn't matter if the MC is the strongest, most powerful, capable or if they're passive. This is a constant that cannot and will not change no matter what kind of MC people play.
Sorry, but I'm starting if i'm starting to loose my patience with you, Anon, cause it does seem like you sent this in good faith, but I am getting tired of trying to justify myself all the time, especially after dealing with a particularly obsessive individual, who would not accept any explanation I gave and instead called it 'bullshit plot armor', when it really is a different flavor of realism. So forgive me, if I stop being kind, polite or generous with my time for them. Furthermore, you didn't read the messages they sent to my inbox because I made the choice not make them public and delete them. I only have so much time in the day to write game and answer every ask in my inbox. I wish I could, but I cant. There's 45 messages in my inbox as I'm writing this, but I try to answer the ones I feel are relevant and time sensitive.
Now I've said my piece, I'm gonna go retreat into my writer's den. If people are upset with what I've written so far, then I implore them to go back to pinned post, read and decide for themselves if they're willing to come along for the ride. Because if you people come at me with the same questions, I will answer the same way. If you do not understand what I am saying, than perhaps you may need to see it at a different perspective.

It's time ladies and gentlemen
Arcana characters as Disney's Hercules
I promise not all of these are gonna be Disney themed lol I'm just a Muriel simp (if you couldn't tell) and when I originally came up with the Disney princess idea Muriel as Hercules started rotting a hole through my brain so here we are! Also, we're gonna get some side character/familiar action here as well, yay!
Asra, Nadia, Julian, & Portia - the muses
Are there other characters that these four could fit? Probably
Am I going to fit them there? No
Someone needs to be the muses, and I choose these 4
From left to right (since none of the muses are named) Portia, Julian, Nadia, & the last two get subsumed into Asra
Tumblr media
Idk I think they'd have fun jamming out & watching Muriel do his thing
Lucio - Hades
Oh god I can hear the Lucio simps screeching at me in the comments already
But consider: am I wrong tho
Let's face it bro is the villain in every route but his own and the cynical, "better than thou" personality that they both share just fits so well
Plus this version of Hades is a Satan analog who makes binding deals with others for his own benefit, and doesn't that sound like a certain devil we all know?
Not to mention both of them are trying to escape the realms they've been assigned & make themselves god king of everything
Two words: ✨anger issues✨
Morga - Phil
And now we get to the fun characters outside the M6
I will admit, Phil is a lot nicer than Morga, but jaded older mentor figure trying to make up for failed prodigies fits
Plus, Morga was Muriel's mentor in his route
I feel like both also fit into the role of proud parent figure by the end of their respective stories
And both are disapproving of their pupil's romances lol
Inanna - Pegasus
Admittedly Inanna is a bit more no-nonsense than Pegasus is, but she can still be goofy and fun when she wants to
Incredibly supportive of their human companions, important assets in battle, their appearance started the main character on a path for a better and more fulfilling life
Not much else to say here it just works
Vlastomil and Volta - Pain & Panic
Honestly idk if I can fit Vulgora and Valdemar into the Hercules narrative, but at least I could get these two in here
Vlastomil is Pain and Volta is Panic; I realize both could probably fit into Panic's role as they are the more timid and mild mannered courtiers, but I've chosen things this way because Volta is a little bit more flighty and afraid to commit crimes like Panic, where as Vlastomil is a bit more bold (when he's allowed to be) and better fits Pain
There's also the whole shape shifting deal they can all do
Khamgalai - Zeus
This one.....is a bit weird ngl, I'm still not quite sure about it
Honestly this is the ONLY time I will conflate someone so near & dear to my heart with Zeus
Mostly this all fits into the "detached/secret family member" archetype
And....I mean Zeus in this narrative at least is actually very kind & caring, as well as a proud dad which is similar enough to Khamgalai to work ok
Plus they both act as a guide for the main character when they're trying to find/drifting away from the plot a little bit
Merf (my MC) - Meg
Ok
I know what you're thinking
And I'm going to state once again that I am a huge Muriel simp
My MC is also a self insert, and for as long as I can remember I've always identified the most with Meg, more than any of the other Disney women
Anyone who has read my fic, seen the stuff I've posted about my character either on this blog or others, or even just talked to me on the arcana discord started by @iliveforyouilongforyouvesuvia can probably see that our personalities are very similar
Meg is very special to me as a character and I'm literally writing a post about mashing together my beloved and one of my favorite Disney movies, I'm not apologizing for conflating her with myself

Blooming Panic if MC was the author.
Tumblr media
Unfortunately I haven’t written fanfic in over 2 or 3 years so you’re all getting headcanons.. even then I’m high as shit and barely know what I’m talking about. Expect this to be halfassed.
Okay, this mainly follows Toaster’s storyline just.. without romance to be more accepting to everyone’s tastes.
I know canonically the servers been around for like 2/3 years and MC (who I’m just going to continue to call MC for the hell of it.) only has just joined.. but what if they were also BloomBot?
Like, assuming MC doesn’t ACTUALLY work in finance and assuming that they’re actually good enough at coding to make the server possible.. it’s not too bad of an idea.
Hear me out. BloomBot secretly being a person this entire time, watching their chat history, listening in on calls but being unable to actually say anything? Probably gets lonely.
.. So MC makes their own account and joins in, pretending to have no idea who any of them are.
Or another idea - BloomBot just belongs to them and is just your average bot, Mc joins because they themselves have lost all motivation for the series and doesn’t know what to do with it.
I also really like that idea.
Imagine just MC writing and rewriting the final chapter over and over again, or better yet, imagine MC NOT writing the final chapter. Just staring at a blank document with 0 ideas. Likely in tons of stress and no motivation to continue writing but knowing they have thousands of fans waiting for the next chapter.
MC joins a ton of fan servers to try and get some inspiration from ideas but only one really clicks with them - the super secret discord server that we all know of.
There’s moments of guilt within them when Jules or Nightowl are worried or upset with no sign of the final chapter but the chapter continues to be prolonged.
I promised there’d be no particular romance forced into this despite it being Toast’s route but here’s a slight snippet of what I think would happen depending on characters.
Toast.. isn’t much to say really. It’s similar to his natural route where he tries to find who’s behind this, maybe some deep coding down and he might get an email from BloomBots code (Can you tell I know nothing about coding? lol.) I’m not saying he’d know that MC is the author, I just wouldn’t be surprised if he started offhandedly mentioning that sometimes a long break from work is needed and VERY MUCH okay to do so when MC is in call with him.
Nightowl is stressed with both his own school problems and NOW he doesn’t have a way to escape the dread of exams and finals. In a way.. He can relate to that reason the anonymous update was explained with. It might just be me but the way the update described it, it’s pretty obvious the ‘author’ was under stress. He can relate to that stress and probably rants to the MC about it in a late night call.. Knowing someone can relate with you and that you aren’t alone does wonders to someone’s mental health, especially since Nightowl is still pushing through his stress and still moving forward.
Quest.. I completely forgot his character but I think he’s a bit too busy to think about the problem deeply. Sure, The last chapter probably won’t be uploaded but.. it’s not the end of the world? He has work and being the server mod.. the biggest problem he has is making sure everyone else is calm and okay. If MC ends up confessing that they themselves are pretty stressed for whatever reason then he totally gives some great advice, tells MC to take life slow and to take breaks if they need to.. which actually kind of helps knowing you can take your time and go at your own pace.
Xyx is actually bummed out about the whole thing. If blooming panic ends then.. does that mean the community ends? People like having a community to go to and ESPECIALLY when someone is so adrenaline hungry like Xyx then things can be.. hard during times like this when it’s suddenly ending. Xyx isn’t one to vent about it but if he sees MC down about it then he’ll definitely find a way to make them spill (as in vent.) One way or another he’ll convince MC to take a break and he tries to cheer them up.
I understand a lot of this was probably mischaracterised and I apologise for that. I do really want to hit it off as a writer but I’m honestly not really good? Lol. I really am trying, I promise. Thank you for your patience.

The Seaweed Is Always Greener - Azul Ashengrotto x MC (Commission for Mariahmaru)
My first commission in a while!! Thank you for commissioning me @mariahmaru!! Mai was a pleasure to write.
Interested in commissioning me?? All my info is here!!
There's smut beneath the cut, beware!
Azul Ashengrotto prided himself on being a gentleman. 
One catches more flies with honey than vinegar, and his strength lied in his ability to get people to see his way. So he made it a point to be charming, complimentary, and overall an agreeable person to be around.
But he was also a very, very jealous man.
Nothing could force his pleasant mask to slip quicker than someone laying their dirty fins on something that he considered his, and Floyd was a few seconds away from having Azul’s hands around his throat.
“Hey, hey, Angelfishie~” Floyd placed his palms flat on the table to practically lean over it, nearly elbowing Jade in the face in the process. “You like sushi, right?”
Azul was sitting close enough to Mai in the booth that the four of them were sat at that he could feel her lean back ever-so-slightly at Floyd’s sudden closeness. “Um, yes, I do. Why?”
“The sushi here is the best,” Floyd said with a wide grin. “I’ll share mine with you.”
This whole thing had been Floyd’s idea. Since he, quote, “was sick of only seeing Jade’s face,” he had suggested that the four of them meet up and grab dinner to catch up. Both Azul and Mai had a tendency to get wrapped up in their own work, so going out for a night would probably do the two of them some good. But now, Azul was starting to regret agreeing to the outing.
“Isn’t it a little strange for mermen to eat sushi?” Mai tapped her knuckle to her bottom lip thoughtfully. “I mean, it seems awfully close to cannibalism.”
“No different than you eating pork, though~” Floyd giggled. “Don’t tell me you didn’t get sushi just because you were afraid of offending the merfolk!”
“Well…” Mai shrugged sheepishly. “Kind of?”
“Aw, come on!” Floyd picked up a piece of sushi between his thumb and forefinger - he gave up on the chopsticks about five minutes into the meal. “Don’t deprive yourself on our account! Right, Azul?”
Azul blinked, caught off guard at suddenly being included in the conversation. “Um,” he cleared his throat. “Go on, Mai, no need to make a deal out of it.”
“Well, now,” Jade chuckled. “I never thought I would hear those words come out of your mouth, Azul. You do love your deals.”
“Shut up, you know that isn’t what I meant.”
“Angelfishie~” Floyd whined, jabbing the sushi in Mai’s direction. “Do you want it or not?”
“Oh, sure, thank you, Floyd,” Mai smiled, reaching down for her plate so Floyd could place the piece of sushi on it. Floyd, however, seemed to have other plans.
“Say ah~”
“Huh?”
“No, ‘ah!’” Floyd brought the sushi closer to Mai’s mouth, giggling. Mai’s eyebrows shot up until they disappeared into her auburn bangs, and she leaned back even further into the booth. 
“Um, just on my plate is fine, Floyd, thank you.”
“Hmph,” Floyd plopped back down into his seat with a pout, plopping the piece of sushi down onto the corner of Mai’s plate. “You’re no fun at all, Angelfishie.”
“Floyd, behave yourself,” Jade chided, although he looked distinctly entertained as well. Azul knew he was red enough to rival one of Riddle’s beloved roses, and, judging by how Jade was looking at him with an expression of amusement mixed with concern, it was obvious. Which, honestly, was pretty on track for any interaction involving Floyd.
Seeing that he wasn’t going to get a reaction from Mai, Floyd seemed to settle down and the rest of the meal passed in relative peace. Azul tried to keep his temper in check, but Floyd’s little stunt had him riled up, and as soon as the conversation began to lull, he called the server over for the check.
“I have to get up early tomorrow, businesses don’t run themselves,” he replied when Jade regarded him with a raised eyebrow. 
“Aw, and here I was going to suggest we go get drinks!” Floyd turned to Mai. “Do you want to come with us while the old man takes his nap, Angelfishie?”
Azul found himself gripping the edge of the table so hard that his knuckles turned white. “Floyd, what do you think -”
“I’ll have to pass tonight,” Mai reached for her bag sitting next to her. “I start early too. It was so good seeing the two of you, though, we’ll have to do this again sometime.”
The formal, slightly cool tone to Mai’s voice was reassuring, but Azul still found himself having to clear his throat before he could speak. “Yes, boys, it’s been a pleasure.”
“Aw, okay, fine,” Floyd grinned. “Bye-bye!”
“Get home safe, you two,” Jade smiled warmly at Azul and Mai as he stood. Floyd followed suit, waving to Mai as the two of them left the restaurant. Perhaps it was a bit dramatic, but Azul made it a point to keep a hand at Mai’s elbow as they left, as well as holding the door open.
Mai huffed slightly as she plopped down into the passenger seat of their car. “Well, that was…something.”
“Hm, indeed,” Azul grumbled. “Floyd always did know how to push buttons.”
The ride home was thankfully short, only about ten minutes, but it was quite the quiet journey. Azul didn’t seem keen on talking, and Mai had never been one to force conversation. He wasn’t doing a very good job at keeping his irritation hidden, though. He kept drumming his fingers along the steering wheel, and Mai knew that if he wasn’t currently driving he would be bouncing his leg up and down. When she glanced over to him when they were stopped at the red light right before turning onto their street, she could tell that he was worrying at the inside of his cheek. 
“Azul?” Mai spoke gently as she locked the front door behind them. “Are you upset about Floyd?”
For a moment, Azul was silent, plucking imaginary lint off of the purple silk button down he was wearing. Then, he sighed. “His behavior was entirely inappropriate. You would have been well within your rights to tell him off.”
“I’m pretty sure he was just trying to get a reaction out of you. Or me.” Mai walked over to him, smoothing out the wrinkle he made in his shirt with his fussing. “He could have been trying to get a rise out of Jade for all we know. There’s no way he was being serious.”
“That doesn’t make it any less annoying,” Azul countered. “Or insulting.”
“There’s no point in giving Floyd what he wants when he isn’t even here,” Mai laughed, bringing her other arm up to wrap loosely around Azul’s shoulders. “What do you want?”
“What I want?” Azul hummed, placing his hands on Mai’s hips and giving them a loving squeeze. “Well, I believe all I want is right here.”
“Smooth,” Mai giggled, leaning forward and placing her lips against Azul’s. She only meant for it to be a quick peck, but when she tried to back away, Azul’s grip in her hips tightened and he pulled her closer.
She made a small noise in the back of her throat as Azul walked the two of them backwards. Her back hit the wall with a soft thump, and Azul was crowding her against it. The kiss had quickly gone from chaste to passionate, and Mai found herself melting into it. Her hands wove themselves into Azul’s silver hair, twisting strands around her fingers as Azul worked his lips against hers.
They parted only when they physically needed air, and Azul found himself staring at himself reflected in Mai’s wide light-brown eyes. He found himself overwhelmed by just how fortunate he was to have ended up with her, and it felt like an ocean’s worth of love had welled up in his chest, threatening to spill over.
“Azul?” she murmured, lips barely a centimeter away from his. “What are you thinking?”
“I…” he stammered for a second before his shoulders relaxed. No need to keep up appearances here, when it was just the two of them. “I’m so lucky that I’m part of your world.”
The corner of Mai’s lips tilted upward and she leaned her head forward so that their foreheads were touching. “You’re so sappy sometimes.”
“Sorry,” Azul hummed, tapping his fingers idly where they still rested on her hips. “I can’t help it.”
They both surged forward at the same time, lips meeting in a rather uncoordinated fashion. It was suddenly like they needed each other like a fish needs water. Azul pressed impossibly closer, and Mai could feel the stirrings of something in his trousers.
“Oh,” she gasped. “Want to move to the bedroom?”
“Well, it would be more comfortable than the entry hall, that’s for certain.”
As soon as the door to their bedroom shut behind them, Mai was unbuttoning Azul’s shirt. Or, well, trying to. Her fingers were fumbling over one of the middle buttons, and she was very quickly getting frustrated. With a soft chuckle, Azul placed his hands over hers. “Let me help you, my pearl.”
“I wanted to be sexy,” Mai huffed as Azul quickly undid the buttons and tossed the shirt to the side.
“I can think of a few other ways for you to be sexy,” he purred, fingers dancing along the hem of her blouse. Color bloomed high along her cheeks, but she let him lift her shirt over her head to expose her bra. Even after years together, she still got self-conscious about her boyfriend seeing her naked.
As if he could read her thoughts - or maybe just her face, she never had been good at hiding her feelings - Azul leaned down to press their foreheads together again. “You’re beautiful,” he whispered, leaning in to peck her lips affectionately. “Never doubt that.”
Something akin to embarrassment squirmed in her belly, but she managed to tamp it down and returned the kiss as her hands wandered to the button on his slacks. “I love you.”
“I love you too,” he whispered back before quickly shedding himself of his clothes. Mai followed suit and soon the two of them were sprawled across their unmade bed. It was a few moments of chaos, with limbs tangled together and Mai getting her foot caught in her panties before finally managing to fling them off into the void, but none of that mattered. Mai splayed her fingers across the width of Azul’s shoulder blades, relishing how his skin felt just a few degrees cooler against her own.
She sighed softly when she felt Azul’s fingers wander across her nipples. After all the times the two had been intimate together, he could play Mai’s body like a harp, and the sensations went straight to her core. Her sighs quickly turned into little moans, and she writhed her hips against Azul’s in an attempt to get some friction.
A surprised groan left her as Azul let one of his hands slide towards her opening. Short, thick fingers danced around her lower lips until dipping in. Experience led him right towards her clit, and the noises coming from Mai sped up as Azul began fingering her in earnest.
“Wet for me already, my pearl?” he hummed, a satisfied grin spreading across his face when Mai nodded frantically. “Are you ready for more?”
“Yes,” Mai breathed, hips bucking back and forth like she couldn’t decide if she needed for or less of the friction. “Please, ‘Zul, please…”
Azul had to bite his lip to keep from making unseemly noises as he took himself in hand, guiding his throbbing dick towards Mai’s entrance. “Mmf, fuck…” he muttered under his breath, gray eyes slipping closed as he inched his way in.
Hearing Azul curse was such a delightfully rare experience, and hearing it in response to how she made him feel did something to Mai. Something that he could feel, obviously, because he couldn’t fight back the moan that tore out of his throat as she clenched around him.
“Can…can I move?” he panted, hips twitching as he waiting for her to respond. Mai nodded, and that was all the signal he needed.
The sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room, mixed with their soft exclamations of pleasure as both of them chased their own high. Mai’s slightly uneven fingernails dug into the flesh of Azul’s back, and Azul was gripping the sheets beside her head so hard that she thought they were going to come off of the bed. 
“I’m close…!” Azul breathed. “My precious pearl, I’m so close…touch yourself for me, please…”
Mai brought her hand from where it had been gouging Azul’s shoulder down to her clit, rubbing furiously in an attempt to line up their climaxes. Honestly, it was difficult to tell if they were aligned or if one finished before the other, but it hardly mattered in the end. Mai arched off the bed with a shout, and Azul moaned long and low in his throat as the two of them reached their orgasms.
The two laid like that for a few moments before Azul slowly pulled out, landed unceremoniously beside her and resting his head on her still heaving chest.
“Mm,” Mai hummed, combing her clean hand through Azul’s mussed-up silver locks. “That was intense. Should I thank Floyd?”
“Don’t you dare.”

fun find at the used bookstore the other day since their horror section is usually pretty sparse. had to stop myself from saying Holy Fuck out loud upon picking it up and seeing that guy. retro horror book covers you will always be famous to me
as for the actual stories inside,
son of celluloid - really cool concept of a monster in a movie theater that can like send your ass to the Movie Dimension and shapeshift itself into old film stars to lure you in with a beloved face and gets stronger the more it is "perceived"
however i really did not understand part of the lore of this creature which was that it partially grew out of cancer cells...?? what does that have to do with the rest of this... and unfortunately this story gets bogged down with the central POV character who is a fat woman, which is obviously fine, but like half of her narration is just thinking about how she hates being soo fat and how men aren't into her which is just. :/
also it made me question if clive has ever actually seen dumbo. dumbo's ears were his notable feature, my guy. that's kind of the whole thrust of the film.
rawhead rex - this is the only one i'd heard of in advance and it's certainly... memorable.
again the idea here is kino with this beast from ancient times being unleashed on this blase little british town and kind of plunging them back into a more primal state of being. the descriptions of rawhead and especially of him eating the children is like. viscerally freaky and horrible.
but the decision to write some scenes from the POV of rawhead himself is... i dunno. like i do think the story would feel a bit unfinished without his perspective so it's more How they're written, i guess, in this very normal voice that just makes him come across as a simple animal crossed with a petulant cruel teenager or something, and thus kind of ruining his scariness. maybe that was part of the intention and i just didn't fully get it? to me it would've been better for his POV to read as very stylized & different from the humans somehow.
and god i wish there didn't have to be so much piss involved. the demonic watersports scene got me staring off into the distance with a tired resignation
confessions of a pornographer's shroud - relatively simple ghostly revenge story. due to being told in big part from the POV of the ghost i can't call this one particularly scary, but the base idea of taking the silly halloweencore ghost wearing sheet and turning that into an actual serious haunting is fun.
scapegoats - a ship gets beached on a creepy little island they hadn't even noticed on the map which turns out to be a burial ground for tons of unidentified bodies who washed up there during the world wars.
the ending bit of this one was pretty effective but i can't get over my disappointment that this island wasn't more like lovecraftian in origin, which felt plausible based on initial descriptions of it. half alive corpses are scary sure but i wanted At The Shitty English Island of Madness instead.
also there's one part that felt straight out of one of junji ito's weirder oneshots which made me laugh out loud and im not sure the humor was intended.
human remains - sex worker goes home with a guy and finds some kind of sentient human sized statue in his bathtub which then proceeds to start following him around and taking on his identity & exact appearance.
probably my favorite in this book which feels odd to say since it's the least horror out of them. the MC's reaction to this creature eventually becomes almost friendly or loving, and the creature is polite and well spoken and though it kills people it generally only does so to live. very interesting. a story that it's difficult to imagine a straight author writing. could probably read some layers of metaphor into it if you were inclined

hello!! i was wondering how the LIs would react to a MC who was their childhood sweetheart being a vampire and stumbling in the mansion :) i think it would be a shock all things considered but also really sweet! i love ho you write the vamps so i really hope you like this idea!
The boys meet their childhood sweetheart at the manor :
Hi! How are you? I hope you are well! ^^
I'm glad you like what I write ^^!
This is an idea I like very much and I really enjoyed writing it. I hope you like it! ^^
Have a nice day and take care of yourself! ^^
Vladimir :
You arrived shortly before sunrise. Reassured to finally find a house to spend the day. It had been raining all night, your umbrella broke because of the wind and you had nothing more than your cardigan to use as a hood. You walked in without even knocking on the door, far too frozen to wait for someone to open it.
It didn't take long for Aaron to come and meet you. He was a tall man. You didn't give him time to say anything before you spoke, after all, you didn't feel capable of spending a whole day outside having to watch out for the sun and unable to sleep despite being tired.
You quickly explained that you had been walking since sunset, that you were freezing and tired from your walk and that you had nowhere to spend the day. Aaron didn't protest to your relief and even went upstairs to get you a towel to dry your hair after pointing out where the small living room and its fireplace were.
You sat down as close to the fireplace as possible to warm your hands. You were glad to finally get some rest and only turned back to the door when you heard it open.
You were speechless with surprise. You had no trouble recognising Vladimir. You must admit that he had hardly changed since the day he disappeared. His skin was very pale, his hair was long and almost white, his body was thin, even his clothes were the same as the last time you saw him. It took him a little longer to recognise you though, you had adapted to the 21st century fashion so as not to be noticed by the vampire hunters. You were completely silent for several seconds before Vladimir asked softly.
"MC?
-Yes…, you answered before moving towards him. Aren't you… well… aren't you supposed to be dead?
-Well… it is complicated… I could… ask you the same question…," Vladimir muttered.
-I was transformed a few weeks after you disappeared," you quickly explained, and you? What happened? Your parents told us that you ran away in the middle of the night. Did you? We were all worried sick.
Vladimir stepped back a little at your question before glancing at the ground beside him. A reflex he had obviously kept, as it was the thing he did every time he didn't want to answer a question.
-I… a lot has happened since then, I don't really remember what I did that night.
-Okay, that's fine, you say, trying not to push it. We don't have to talk about this. You seem to have settled in well here. It's very nice.
With your answer, he immediately relaxes and looks up at you with a shy smile.
-It is… I do a lot of decorating. The others think it is far too old-fashioned. But I am glad you think it is nice."
You settle down on the sofa to continue chatting after taking off your soaked coat. When Aaron returns, he finds it rather amusing that Vladimir has made no comment on the puddles you left behind, but he makes no comment and after giving you the towel he had gone to get, he leaves you to continue your discussion alone.
Vladimir remembers you well. You were the daughter of a friend of his parents. At that time, Vladimir was a shy boy, very shy indeed, and the first time he met you he stayed hidden behind his parents' legs without ever daring to speak to you. It took several meetings before he dared to play with you.
He started to fall in love with you as a teenager. You were so much more popular than him, more interesting, funnier. Other teenage boys and girls would come up to you for advice or just because you were good company. He didn't even dare to approach you, although you had been a very good friend as a child, but you had become so popular with the others. Why would you want to put up with his presence? And what could he offer you if you ever got married, he wasn't going to inherit anything, not even a bit of money, his parents kept telling his brothers and sisters that they were going to have to take care of him once they were dead. Later, at dances, he would not dare to ask you to dance, a refusal from others was bad enough, but from you it would have been much harder to bear.
In addition, you eventually moved to the countryside with your family. You only went back to your home town to visit old friends and Vladimir had become so taciturn and withdrawn that you hardly saw him anymore. So you only learned of his disappearance through a letter from his parents to yours. You had come back to the city with your family to help them in their search and it was at this time that you were transformed.
In the end, you stayed at the manor a little longer than expected. You spent several nights talking together. Vladimir is very happy to see you again. What everyone at the manor can see is that the vampire is smiling and looking forward to spending time with you.
He always feels a little embarrassed when you remind him or tell him old childhood stories, especially when you tell them to Raphael or Aaron. But at the same time, he is happy that you remember him. He didn't think you would, after all, if he only had you, you had other friends.
He is even happier when he realises that you remember his mother's garden and the games of hide-and-seek you used to play there as a child after the sun went down. Or the books you used to exchange.
Béliath :
Because of the bad weather, one of your wings had torn. It wasn't really painful, but you were unable to fly and really needed a rest, so you headed for the first supernatural creature's lair you could sense, hoping that one might be able to help you. You were soaked to the skin by the time you entered the small manor and had rarely been so cold.
Aaron was the first one to meet you and he immediately understood that you were a succubus. He felt a bit wary, Beliath is very calm for an incubus, probably due to the fact that he is only half an incubus, but Leandra is quite unbearable, especially with her inability to understand a no.
But you didn't give him time to say anything before you spoke. You explained to him that you had been injured flying in the rain and that you absolutely needed to rest for a few days at least until your wing healed enough to get back on the road. Despite his distrust of you, Aaron agreed to let you stay and showed you the way to the lounge before going to get you a towel to dry off and a first aid kit for your wing.
You immediately settled down in front of the fire, taking care to fold your wings, especially so as not to drop anything in the small lounge. The warmth felt good, enough to make you feel sleepy. So it took you a moment to hear that someone had entered the room.
It took you a few seconds to make the connection between the young man who had left your world and the man who had stopped in the doorway. Beliath had not changed much physically since you had last seen him. His hair was probably a little longer and his clothes much more covering, though he still seemed to have this love for the colour white, a colour not normally worn by succubi but which he had always loved. Beliath also recognised you very easily, you had to admit that you didn't hide your appearance and that you hadn't changed much either.
"MC! What are you doing here?
It took you another moment of silence to answer.
-I… I was looking for a place to sleep.
Beliath frowned, trying to figure out why you weren't going home to sleep when Aaron came to drop off the towel and first aid kit. He left quickly afterwards leaving you alone with Beliath.
-Why the first aid kit?" finally asked Beliath after a moment of silence. For all answer you unfolded your wing.
-Ah...," the vampire grinned as he understood better why you couldn't go home. What happened to your wing?
-A fall, you replied. I had the choice between getting hit by lightning and a tree… and I chose the tree. It's less painful.
-Ah… this happens to Leandra a lot. Do you want some help?
-Oh..., yes. It's a bit complicated to disinfect alone."
Beliath sat down next to you and you started talking. At first about general topics, his sister, your family, what's going on with the succubi at the moment, then you started to tell each other memories of your childhood.
You were the same age. He was just a little boy, not really appreciated by the other succubus children because of his lack of wings and horns, the other children loved to come and tease him when his sister wasn't there to protect him and he didn't dare complain to his sister for fear that she would laugh at him. But it was so hard to defend yourself against other children who can fly and are physically much stronger than you. He started to play with you when you started to stand up for him against the other children.
He fell in love with you without even understanding it. And as love is not a normal feeling in an incubus, he never dared to admit it to you. He was already considered strange by everyone, he didn't want to make his situation even worse. Besides, you spent a lot of time together, talking with him, telling him about your days and the new encounters you had made. Of course, he couldn't be in a relationship with you, but being your friend was enough to make him happy.
He left when the gap between him and the succubi became increasingly difficult to bear centuries ago. You never thought you would see him again. Especially since his sister had simply told you that he had gone to discover the world and that he wanted the succubi to leave him alone.
Finally, you stayed a little longer to talk with Beliath. He seems much happier here with the vampires than with the succubi. He introduced you to his friends and as soon as you felt a bit better he took you with him to the Moondance.
He is quite happy to see that you remember him well and to be able to recall childhood anecdotes with you.
Ivan :
The rain was chilling you. You had come out of your usual hiding place shortly after sunset to go for a walk in your home town. You could normally have made the round trip in one night but unfortunately due to the bad weather the trains were all cancelled and you couldn't make the trip on foot as the sun would have risen long before you arrived home. Luckily you knew the area well enough to know that there was an old abandoned manor house in the forest about half an hour's walk from the town. As you approached, you sensed a few presences inside, but as a vampire, you weren't too worried, if they were humans you could always hypnotize them into leaving and if they were other supernatural creatures… well apart from a few annoying ghosts you'd never met a creature that wanted to harm you. You entered the manor without knocking, mostly to escape the rain that was falling harder and harder.
Aaron quickly came to meet you and without a doubt, he was the tallest man you had ever met. He was huge, far exceeding you, but you were not impressed.
You quickly apologised for your entrance before explaining that you had nowhere to spend the day and needed to rest after a night of walking. You were relieved when the big vampire stopped looking at you suspiciously and told you to go and warm up in front of the fireplace while he went to get you some towels so you could dry off.
You left your shoes in the hallway so as not to get water all over the manor and sat as close to the fireplace as possible, rubbing your hands together to try and warm them. It wasn't working very well, either because your clothes were soaked or the water in your hair was slowly dripping down your neck. So you didn't hear him come in, you were far too preoccupied with trying to keep warm for that, and you only saw him when you turned around and heard a small hiccup of surprise.
You were silent for several seconds, too surprised to make a sound. Ivan was standing in the doorway, looking almost exactly the same as the last day you saw him. He didn't have much trouble recognizing you either, you hadn't really changed much since you last saw him, as you were much more concerned with not hurting any humans and managing to hide yourself.
"Ivan! What the hell! What the hell are you doing here?! Your parents told me you ran away!
The young man immediately looked down at his hands. He didn't really know what to say. He had to admit that he hardly remembered the day of his transformation and all he knew was what Aaron had told him.
-I… Aaron turned me. I don't know what happened, but he found me dying… I couldn't go home to my parents afterwards. I'm so sorry.
-Ah… very happy… really, you replied before you fully realized what he had just told you. Wait… what do you mean you don't know what happened? Where did he find you?!
-In the forest…
-Why were you in the forest?
-I… I have no idea. I think I was supposed to go and spend an evening with Loïc… but I can't remember if I was mugged before I joined him or on my way home. It's… really unclear… you explained Ivan before changing the subject. But what about you? What happened to you?
-Oh…, you sighed. I took a trip to Germany for my studies and I was transformed there after a car accident. It wasn't planned, since then I live in an old house not far from here, the basement is haunted, but I have a nice view on the mountain."
You sat down on the sofa to continue the discussion. Aaron was a little surprised to see you talking together, but he didn't ask why and simply passed you the towels to dry off and remembered to ask Ivan some questions later. You chatted for a long time together happy to be back together and especially to find someone who had grown up at the same time as you.
You spent a lot of time together as children. You went to the same school and often spent afternoons at each other's houses, whether it was for snacks or birthdays. You were so close that many other children even accused you of being in love. What you both always strongly denied, you were not in love, you were just friends.
Ivan doesn't really know how he fell in love with you. It was at school in early adolescence, in any case. You were better than he was at school, he spending a lot of time having fun and almost always forgetting about the tests he had to do, yet you were always helping him, whether it was to revise a lesson or to discreetly pass him an answer during an important test.
However, you drifted apart when your parents moved away because of their work. You started to see each other less often and only on birthdays. So, you heard about his disappearance on TV and of course you immediately came back with your family to help in the search without any result.
Ivan suggested that you stay longer and continue talking together the next day. You accepted. He introduced you to his friends and apart from Ethan who seems to hate you for no other reason than the fact that you are an old friend of Ivan's, you get on quite well with them.
You talk a lot with Ivan and you have a lot of fun joking with each other, especially with jokes that the other vampires don't understand at all, as they don't have your cultural references.
Aaron :
Normally you rarely get caught in the rain, but it wasn't your night tonight. It really wasn't. Your car broke down and despite all your fiddling you could never get it to start again, which is when the rain decided to hit you. At first you took refuge in the car and even started to read a book saying to yourself that you could always walk back once the rain stopped, but it didn't stop and after several hours and the end of your book, you realised that you couldn't stay in the car any longer without risking burning in the sun. So you got out and headed into the forest, if not to find a house, then at least to find a cave where you could shelter during the day. So you were very relieved when you saw this little manor house lost in the middle of the woods and even though you could feel presences inside you didn't hesitate for a second before going inside to take shelter.
Quickly someone came to meet you. What surprised you was not the speed with which this person arrived but rather the person himself. Aaron stopped as soon as he saw you in the doorway as if he had seen a ghost and you didn't say a word in shock as you recognised the vampire. He had changed a lot over the years of course, but you would have known his eyes and his build anywhere. Aaron really was huge for a man of your time, so impressive in size that no one would dare to come and fight him.
"A… Aaron? Is that you? Is that really you?!
-I... yeah... what are you doing here? I... I thought you were dead.
-You're telling me that! I'm not the one who ran away from the village to play mercenary on the other side of the planet!
-Hey! I wasn't on the other side of the planet! It was the neighbouring country," Aaron protested immediately.
-Well, yes! Of course! And for that time it was the next door! you reply
Then you looked at each other in silence for a moment before smiling. Aaron came forward to give you a hug as you did the same.
-I never thought I'd see you again.
-And so am I! With all the epidemics and wars, I thought you were dead and buried centuries ago. You must have a lot to tell me. you responded
-You too, we can talk in the living room if you want, go and warm up," Aaron replied, waving his hand at you. I'll get you a towel so you can dry off. Otherwise, Vladimir will complain about my hospitality again.
You took his advice and sat down in front of the fireplace to wait for him to return. Aaron returned with a towel only a few minutes later and you finally sat down together on the sofa to continue your discussion.
-But what about you? What happened to you?" Aaron asked.
-I got hit by a plague and… I think a guy who didn't know how to control his power turned me into a vampire without meaning to, and then I got caught up in an elder war. It was a bit of a complicated time."
You continued to talk for a long time, most of the rest of the night, and even the beginning of the day.
Aaron remembered you very well. You lived in the village with your parents. They were farmers and when you weren't helping your parents in the fields or at home you always came to play with him. He was much more reckless than you were and you often tended to fix any mischief he might make or at best help him hide it.
He doesn't really know how he ended up falling in love with you. But it was probably because the villagers trusted you. You were able to make quick, thoughtful decisions and you were not impressed by anyone else. Moreover, you always took a lot of time to try to reason with him when he wanted to do things on the spur of the moment. People seemed to naturally come to you for advice and you were always among the first to help when there were problems in the village.
You supported him after his mother died, until he decided to become a mercenary to earn money. You tried to dissuade him, saying that it would be much safer to do any other job, but he didn't listen to you and left, promising to come back rich. Of course, he never came back, you assumed he was dead and continued to live in your home village until you were turned into a vampire, at which point you left the village.
It takes a long time for you to tell each other everything that has happened in the centuries you have not seen each other. Because of this, you stay at the manor.
Aaron is also very happy to introduce you to his friends. Even when you tell silly stories from your childhood to make others laugh. He is not ashamed of that time after all, even if it was not easy every day, his childhood was one of the most carefree periods of his life.
After several days, he offers you to stay with them. Your presence helps him to remember the good times of his childhood, and now that he knows you're alive he'll do everything he can to keep in touch with you.
Raphaël :
You anticipated the rain when you went out at the beginning of the night. You armed yourself with an umbrella and a k-way as well as a pair of gloves and a hat. But you forgot your hat and gloves in the cafe where you stopped for a hot chocolate, then your umbrella broke in a gust of wind and your k-way quickly got soaked by the puddle of water that splashed onto you when a car drove through it at speed. To tell the truth, you almost wanted to cry, this day had to be one of the worst, well, maybe not the worst, but you weren't in the mood to put it into perspective. You were cold, you were soaked and you would have given anything for a hot tea, dry clothes and a good fire.
Aaron came to meet you within seconds of your entrance. You didn't have to talk much to convince him to let you stay the night. Your unhappy expression would have convinced anyone to let you sleep here. He showed you the way to the living room before fetching a towel for you to dry off.
After abandoning your soaked k-way and shoes in the hallway, you quickly made your way to the small living room. It was much warmer there and you began to relax, finally relieved to be able to rest after such a bad night. You were lost in thought and it took you a moment to realise that someone was in the room with you. You jumped back.
It took you a moment to recognise him, not least because of the blindfold that hid of his eyes, but when you did you exclaimed.
"Raphael! Are you alive?!"
He jumped when he heard your voice and it took him a moment to recognize it in turn.
-M…MC…? It's… it's you," he stammered.
Raphael had not changed much physically. His demeanour, however, was quite different. He stood quietly and the confidence that used to characterise him seemed to have largely disappeared, you could tell by the way he played with his hands or bit his lips or the fact that he had repeatedly dusted his clothes. These were signs of stress that you would never have expected to see in him.
-Yes, it's me. I thought you were dead, you continued. We buried you.
-Oh… it's quite complicated…, sighed Raphael. It was Margarita's idea…
You sighed as the vampire ran a hand over his neck in embarrassment.
-She told me it was the best thing to do given our situation…
Raphael didn't have time to answer you when Aaron entered the room, he gave you a towel before taking an interest in what you were saying and left once Raphael had explained the situation to him. You immediately resumed the discussion after he left and sat down on the sofa.
-I looked for a vampire in the wrong neighborhood to transform me, Raphael explained. I thought it was a romantic idea.
-Sorry?!
-I… you don't seem to agree with me…
-You just told me you went to the most dangerous parts of town to get turned into a vampire by people who were killing humans at every turn, Raphael. I'm not gonna jump for joy. It was irresponsible!
-That is exactly what they told me…
-Who told you? Alessio and Margarita? They were right! I don't even understand how Alessio could let you do such a stupid thing! He knew very well that he should never let you out of his sight!
-He was too busy doing something else that night, muttered Raphael.
-What do you mean?
-It is not important."
You continued chatting for the rest of the night and of course you couldn't miss Vladimir's "discreet" glance through the doorway to see what you were doing as soon as Aaron had told him about you.
Raphael remembered you very well, of course. Your father was a painter like his father and they were rivals. However, this didn't really bother you, after all you were only children and the quarrels of adults went largely over your heads. Raphael was a far from shy little boy, the kind to talk to every adult he met when you went out to have fun and to want to add every child he met to your playgroup.
He remembers when he fell in love with you. It was a few weeks before his father died. There was a party in the streets of the city, you all went out to have fun. There was music, singing and dancing. You were glowing among the others and he could not take his eyes off you. It took him a little while to realise that the butterflies he felt in his tummy were love and he began to want to spend much more time with you. While imagining romantic scenarios in his head where he would come and rescue you from a dragon or a witch, in the best of his scenarios he would arrive on a beautiful white horse and fight another knight to rescue you before declaring his love for you with a wonderful poem he would have written himself.
Unfortunately, you moved away soon after the party, your father changed patrons, a much richer man than the previous one, and you followed him to a new town with your family. You were still in touch with Raphael but more difficult and he mostly sent you letters complaining about the lack of attention Alessio gave him or the fact that nobody really understood his art except you and Alessio.
He introduced you to his friends the next day. You were able to officially meet Vladimir. Raphaël seemed quite happy with them and that's the most important thing. Moreover, his friends gave you a very warm welcome.
Ethan :
The rain surprised you during the night, although you had observed the weather forecast which had not predicted any rain for the evening. But it was raining, and not a little. It took you only a few minutes to be soaked to the skin. You were looking for a place to shelter, the city was still far away and even a cave would suit you, anything as long as you didn't stay under the rain. So it was a relief when you saw the lights of the manor house coming down in the distance. You hurried to him and immediately went inside the mansion to protect yourself from the rain.
It didn't take long for Aaron to come and meet you and you quickly explained that you were looking for a place to stay until the rain finally stopped. Since he had no reason to refuse you hospitality Aaron showed you the way to the living room before he went to get you a towel so you could dry off.
Once in the living room, you dropped onto the couch and sighed in annoyance. If you had known before you left that it would rain this much, you would have no doubt stayed in your previous hiding place waiting for better weather to travel. You were so busy brooding over your bad luck that you didn't hear him come in and only looked up when you heard your name.
"MC?! It's you ?!
-Ethan! Goddamn it! You exclaimed when you saw him in the doorway. I can't believe it! Is that you?
-Of course it's me! What are you doing here?! When did you arrive?
-I just got here five minutes ago, you replied before continuing. Damn it, Ethan! I thought you were dead! We all thought you were dead! What happened to you… and your hair?!
You got up and walked over to him and hugged him. It took him a few seconds to react, at first too surprised to make any move, then he hugged you back.
-All this would take a long time to explain, he replied without letting go of you. I'd rather not talk about it.
-Of course. It's ok. You replied immediately. I'm not forcing you to do anything. You stepped back a little to look at him before continuing. I thought I would never see you again.
-If I had known you were alive I would have joined you. But there was no one left when I got home.
-I had moved to Sweden with my family, you said.
Aaron arrived interrupting your discussion. He was a little surprised by your proximity but after a quick explanation from Ethan, Aaron passed you the towel he had gone to get and left you alone.
You finally sat down on the sofa to continue talking.
Ethan has certainly not forgotten you. Your parents were friends, so you often played together, whether it was at meals or when one of you went to spend the afternoon at the other's house. You were the first friend he ever had.
He doesn't really know when he started to fall in love with you. You have always been there. From his childhood, to his teenage years, to his early adult life. Even when his medical studies prevented him from going out to spend time with your group of friends, you were always there. You were the one who visited him, often to help him revise before his exams or just to make sure he didn't forget to eat while he was revising or to tell him what the rest of your friends were up to. You were also there to support him when his mother and then his father died. In the end, it was probably after you were separated that he realised that he considered you more than a friend and that he regretted never having been able to tell you about his feelings.
You were separated because of the war. You followed your parents to Sweden and it was also in Sweden that you were turned into a vampire by a complete stranger whose name or appearance you don't even remember. You didn't complain though, it saved you from certain death. You searched for Ethan for some time after the war before giving up after several unsuccessful leads.
You talked together for most of the night. The topics of discussion were light and you mostly talked about the games you played or the many silly things you had done together.
In the end, you stayed longer than expected. Ethan's good mood in your presence surprised many people in the mansion, but in the end everyone was quite happy to see the doctor smiling so much. He even argued less with Ivan since you were there.
Ethan was very happy to introduce you to Beliath and to take you to the Moondance with him. And you were happy to see that he had managed to make some trusted friends.
