#ari's random ramblings

Though I should share some of my silly lil headcanons for Twisted since y'all seemed to like the Genshin ones. Today's victim is Crewel, because I have too many thoughts about that man.

As always don't take any of them too seriously, I do those for fun and that means most of the time I just straight up fabricate stuff with little to no regard for canon.

First headcanon comes from a bit of a misunderstanding from my part and lots of my other headcanons come from it. Point is, for the longest time I though Crewel's pointer/cigarette holder thingie was a walking cane. I only realized that wasn't the case when my gf pointed out that I always draw him with a cane despite the fact he doesn't have one in canon.

So yeah headcanon (that I thought was canon for way too long) number one:

- Crewel always has a cane with him, people chalk it up to being a fashion statement (which it is in part), but he does need it for medical reasons.

Expanding on the cane headcanon:

* There are days he doesn't really need it, but he always has it with him in case of having a flare up (he wounded his leg a few years after graduating from NRC, although it healed all right he still experiences pain from time to time)

* He has several different canes so he can coordinate them with his outfits including a few that were enchanted to change color or to let out sparks whenever they touch the floor

* He uses magic to change the grip of the more fashion like canes so they're more comfortable

* Pratical classes almost always mean he'll have to use his cane, since he'll have to stand and walk around class a lot (least he wants to risk someone inhaling fumes they shouldn't or Seven forbid, blowing up a cauldron).

I'll expand on the topic of his leg injury latter on, but for now some headcanons for his classes/teacher career.

- Although he has quite the reputation for his strictness and temper, Crewel is a student favorite

- He has a soft spot for his puppies, even if he's not open about it; the kind of teacher that will ask you to stay after class to check you're ok

- He's very perceptive about his students and he will try to accommodate for them if he notices they're having a hard time

- He will nag his students into taking better care of themselves

* Coming to class looking disvelished? He'll click his tongue and straighten your tie and ask if you had to rush to class

* Looking too drowsy or sleepy? He will tell you to wash your face and will ask you if you're getting enough sleep

* Feeling faint because of low blood pressure? Your assignment will come back with a small note telling you to remember to eat

- I also think he notices students' efforts a lot, be it related to classes or just in general

* You managed to get your marks up after studying even if it's not by a lot? You get a little message congratulating your hard work

* That one quiet student who always comes to class wearing a beaten up hoodie tried something with their hair? They'll get a quiet compliment when handing in their homework

- His first years teaching were particularly tough

* His personal life was in shambles, Trein kinda of coerced him into applying for a teaching position

* He was on his early twenties, barely out of college, the third years were almost his age - he had to fight for their respect (which is why he developed his more 'aggressive' teaching approach)

* It was also around the time he got his leg injury so he was still navigating getting used to his new limitations

* He had a student who upturned their cauldron over themselves during one of his first pratical classes, he had to rush the kid to the infirmary; he was nearly inconsolable once he made to the teachers' lounge

- Crewel takes lab safety very seriously and will put the fear of God on whoever don't follow safety guidelines (basically everyone's lab wear cards, I can heat this man snapping at them 24/7)

- He buts heads with Crowley a lot, over both curriculum and how to deal with the students, it doesn't bear many fruits and generally ends with he doing stuff himself while Crowley remains blissfully unaware (or pretends to anyway) of his own incompetence

* One of such instances was to take love potions out of the pratical curriculum, because he wasn't about to teach the students how to do what are exencially roofies. Since Crowley kept arguing that he couldn't change the silabus. He ended up teaching how to identify love potions; the symptoms they cause; their main antidotes; the current legislation around them and the ethics involved on the production and use of such potion

Now onto some more general stuff and backstory:

- He was afraid of dogs as a child but got over it with time (and a lil exposition, his childhood friend had a very sweet pup)

- He went to NRC the same year his childhood friend Nico (my twisted version of Anita) both were sorted into Pomefiore

- He doesn't have much of a relationship with his parents but he's very close to a maternal aunt

- He has a tendency to depressive episodes but currently (canon time) his symptoms are on remission

- During High School Crewel did very well in Alchemy, but he was also a very skilled summoner (he had a special affinity to hellhounds, known for being temperamental but extremely loyal)

- It was also during his school years that Crewel met Rose (my twisted version of Roger). At first the pair didn't get along, Crewel feeling like she was stealing his best friend from him, but with time the trio grew very close

- Rose taught him how to play the piano, she used to play a little jingle in it to tease Crewel every chance she got (think of a parody of the Cruella song)

- When Nico and Rose got together Crewel was a little afraid of being left out, but it turned out none of them intended to leave him behind, he was the best man at their wedding. They talked about the future as a weird family of three, unconventional but so very happy

- Rose and Nico got into a car accident, a few months after they got married. They both died in the crash. Crewel was devastated by their loss, suddenly he found himself so very alone

- Rose and Nico had familiars of their own, hellhounds, who always seemed to take a liking to their summoner friend. Moved by grief and a wish to hold onto whatever was left of his friends Crewel tried to summon the beasts, to reach someone who knew the pair as closely as him

* That's how he got his leg injury

- Around that time Trein came across Crewel, a little too thin for comfort and way too quiet. Unwilling to let the brilliant young man who was once his pupil dig himself even deeper he contacted Crowley and all but strong armed the young alchemist to NRC

- Crewel has three dogs (all dalmatian of course) a couple, Prometeus and Pandora, and their pup, Panacea. What people don't know is that the trio are actually summons, Prometeus and Pandora were Rose's and Nico's familiars, they forged a new contract with Crewel after a while.

- He has a foster license, although he never had to use it, he keeps an eye on the students he suspects don't have a good home life.

- He gets a lot of notes and trinkets from his pups, I mean students, on fathers day. And he absolutely melts at them, in private, he gushes to the other teachers, he keeps everything in a box in his room, he just loves his students so much

- People called him dad in class so many times he lost count, he doesn't make a big deal out of it but it warms his heart

- He loves when he gets news from graduated students

- My point is he is a proud father and no one will ever convince me otherwise

I did say that these child predators that you all let into your church doors would be exposed during Saturn in Pisces. Especially in the Bible Belt, & especially in places you would NEVER imagine.

Saturn: Things that are hidden, covered, old, coldness, darkness, scarcity, stagnation, lack, hunger, restriction, constriction, obstacles, chains, locks, imprisonment, jails, slowness, & old age.

Pisces: gurus, churches, religious institutions, altars, priests, clergy, religious matters, judges, justice, arbitration, courts of law.

Y’all deserve all of that 🥰

P.S. shouldn’t the people who work with the children in churches have mandatory & extensive background checks?

Okay so I don't normally post my random thoughts here but Sonadow enjoyers just hear me out.

It's normally Shadow losing his shit in most sonadow media I've seen while protecting Sonic.

And while I do think it's cool and feel like Shadow is definitely the type to commit horrendously stupid/violent acts in the name of love depending on the circumstance (just look at his entire arc in sa2), I don't think we give enough credit to how scary Sonic can be and how dangerous he'd be if he weren't such a nice guy.

I just think Sonic being the one to wreck somebody's shit would be neat tbh

#shut up ari #ari rambles #sth #sonadow #this is probably borderline incomprehensible and im sorry i just wanted to share my random thoughts #these two just have a way of causing the most godawful takes known to man to spawn from me

one of my favorite things about having mutuals on tumblr is noticing those little things irl or seeing something online and having it remind you of them, and just this tiny voice that goes “oh ______ would like this!"

#lovely moots #mutuals #mutuals appreciation #i love y’all <3 #like shoutout to the lovely crazies I’m actively interacting with but also the rest of my amazing amazing moots #who I am constantly in awe of (*shy admiring wave*) #(and you can totally come say hi if you want ahh either way you’re great <3) #anywayyyy #ari says things #(and rambles far more than necessary in the tags) #random thoughts

Can I just say that I freaking love the Welcome Home Mob! Au? I really need to say this. I love the whole idea of a semi-modern mafia story filled with angst, drama, silly antics, and some light-hearted moments here and there. I really love this community, and seeing all these amazing artist come together to show off their work for this creative project makes me feel so excited about what's to come out of this.

Let alone be a part of this once I get the gang together.

Sorry, random ramble!

I'm on copium mode for Knights event (bc I'm broke and only have like 400 dias (thanks Leo)), so I decided to look through my spreadsheets to see the shortest break between events for each unit, because surely we wouldn't have a Knights event now, right, haha Izumi's event was so recent.

And uh. The shortest break so far has been 5 events between each unit event (there's 5 events between Fragrance and Sudden Death (for Knights), 5 events between Secret Service and Jun's center (for Eden), and 5 events between Sandstorm and Adonis's center (for Undead)).

It has already been 7 events since Mad Party.

I am officially in danger 💀

#you can tell i'm going crazy waiting for this event when i start making random calcullations with my spreadsheets #looks at reiou in the anni stream next month #i am SO in danger #somebody pls hold my hand #enstars #knights #ari rambles

One thing that makes my life oh so hard is that I don't actually care for most of the popular dupes that much. I don't Not like them to be clear, I do like them, I just also feel like I'm staring at a color blind test whenever I see ppl talk abt their favorite dupes and everyone involved is obsessed with the same like 3 dupes that I just sort of like well enough and nothing more. Sorry women I don't actually care abt Bubbles that much 😔

#rat rambles #oni posting #this also applies to ari and pei Im sorry I do like them I just dont get the hype 😔 #I feel like Im the one guy sitting here with jean burt and quinn as its favorites #especially burt like no one gives a shit abt my poor boy #although tbf I didnt care too much abt him at first until I kept getting him as a part of my initial threes and he rapidly stole my heart #and jean stole my heart the millisecond I realized theyre nonbinary because we need more old nonbinary characters so bad #and quinn is another that mostly stole my heart from being one of my first three but they also are just delightful in general #tbc this isnt lore bias quinn and jean were both top favorites of mine before I found out their donors have lore #but yeah idk I guess I just expected more ppl to have random favorites based on their own gameplay experiences or smth #Im guessing the ari and bubbles love comes from the animations and for pei idk blue hair and pronouns or smth #yknow at least two of the three are not white with bubbles being a shrug #ty oni for not making all of the probably asian characters probably japanese #jean and ren are the two probably japanese characters to be clear #pei is probably chinese if Im remembering correctly? #good for her 👍 #I should rly do some background checking on everyones last names even if I probably wont learn that much from it #mostly because there's at least a couple of them that are named after like scientists and shit #and also last names aren't a perfectly consistent way of pinpointing ethnicity ofc #Im sure several of them have very white ass last names that arent white

Starting off 2024 ten pounds heavier than I was last year, a cold sore forming in my nostril, acne break outs all over my body, and not a romantic prospect in sight.

The only way to go is up? Tune in Dec 31 2024 to find out.

Do you ever feel like you're out of touch with reality sometimes? Like you're so tired, and you feel like the world is moving way too fast for you to catch up?

Is it just me?
