A Dream ?

Dark. It was dark at first.

Silver had been surprised to see that Grim wasn't in Lycoris' dream at all, the monster being in his own dream. But when he moved from Grim's dream to the next one, he was also surprised to see that it was Sebek's dream, and not Lycoris'.

Weird. But okay.

After Sebek had been awoken and his mind was in the right place again - it felt weird to battle against his friend, but Silver had to - the three hopped into the next dream.

and at first, it was dark.

Dark, darker, yet darker.

Then everyone's eyes got used to the darkness, and they could see a bit better. Sebek had more ease to see, thanks to his nocturnal Fae blood, and Grim was a cat-like monster. But Silver, poor human that he was had to get used to the darkness, and he could only see shapes.

Until he felt it. A presence behind him and the cold of metal against his throat. Sebek screamed, Grim whined loudly from the fear, but Silver stayed calm - as calm as he could.

"We're not enemy... Whoever you might be. We're just... Travellers." The silver-haired teen managed to say with a low voice that somehow - he himself wasn't sure how - didn't shake.

"Prove it." The voice answered. It was a feminine voice that had a familiar twist to it. It was as if Silver, Sebek and Grim knew that person's voice. The only thing unsettling was that the voice was the one of someone young. Someone really young.

"They seem fine to me..." A whisper. One that felt way to familiar yet way to young. "Let him go, Li- Five. He won't hurt us anymore anyway. Our Lady promised." The voice sounded strained, and somewhat on edge.

But whoever that young person was, they trusted Silver, Sebek and Grim to not do anything.

The light came, and the three friends could finally see clearly. However, the blade on Silver's neck stayed. "Really. I'm not an enemy. We're just looking for someone. We need their help."

"I want the green haired guy to tell me the truth." The voice behind Silver answered coldly, and Sebek looked taken aback.

"W...Why me ?"

"You're Fae. You can't lie." The girl - Silver assumed from the voice, but he could very well be the voice of a young boy - replied, still coldly.

Sebek looked lost. "H...How ? I don't..." He reached for his head and touched his ears, trying to see if they had turned pointy during the jump between his dream and that person's dream. They were still round. The child seemed to throw daggers with her eyes at Sebek who, for someone that prided himself in his lack of fear, recoiled. "What Silver said is true. We're looking for someone. To help us." he answered truthfully. And in any case, the child was right, Sebek being Fae - albeit partially - meant that he couldn't really lie.

The blade disappeared from Silver's neck, and the teen could finally turn around to take a look at the two children.

He finally understood Sebek and Grim's surprised face.

The twins, because there was clearly no reason other than them being twins with how they looked the same, looked like a younger version of Lycoris. And the one the farthest from Silver, who was sitting on the ground in the corner of the room, looked exactly like Lycoris had they have a few dozen of years less than their age in the waking world. And that younger version of Lycoris had that small light around themself. So, the child that threatened Silver must have been Lycoris' twin sister, Lily.

Ah, so it was their dream.

Or nightmare, seeing how distressed they seemed.

"Who're you looking for ? Maybe we can help ?" Young Lycoris asked, and Silver realised that when Lycoris was young - if this was more a flashback than a dream - they wore their expressions on their face so easily. It was so easy to see that they were scared, but willing to help what was basically unknown people. The Lycoris Silver knew wouldn't have wore their expression like that.

"We're looking for a friend of us. They might be able to help us reason with a dear friend." Silver explained, trying to be as evasive yet understandable as possible.

"You're looking for someone in Hell ?" Lily asked, looking surprised.

Oh. So they were in Hell. Great.

Wait. How could Lycoris be able to go to Hell - literally ?

"Yes !" Sebek answered, trying to not be too loud. "Our liege has gone mad, and Ly- this friend has already helped us plenty of time with cases like that." He referenced how Lycoris - in the waking world - had managed to help save six students from Overblot. Sebek was truly hoping that Lycoris could help Malleus too.

"Maybe we can help." Lycoris stood up. Their legs were wobbly and they looked frail. "No one knows this circle of hell better than my twin and I - outside of Our Lady." They looked hopeful, ready to help. That was something that still hadn't change. That need to help the others. "What are your names ?"

Lily looked outraged at the question, before she took a good look at her twin and sighed. Even if they had the same age, the young girl acted like a tired adult. That too was weird.

"I'm Silver. This is Sebek, and Grim. And you ?"

"I'm Five." Lily answered. Five ? "And this is The One Who Isn't." The names sounded like codenames, especially since the trio already knew the twins' names.

"They're fine." Lycoris sighed softly. "I'm Lycoris, and this is my twin sister Lily. But please, when outside, refer to us with the names she gave you."

Just did a quick sketch of my Lycoris

Maily to try Traditional art again, see if I was rusty or not

Apollo I hate drawing chibis...

Anygays, might try to draw a few sketches once I'm okay with how I draw Lilia...

Flirting

I was thinking about Lycoris' relationships, and around a conversation with a friend, I came to the conclusion that Lycoris and Lilia have been, before Malleus's overblot, flirting with the other without realising the other was flirting back. So, here's a little something that I just brewed !

Here's the main masterlist if you're interested in my other works And feel free to ask for anything, my asks are open for that reason ^^

"I always wondered why the legends about the Fae in my world were always talking about kidnappings. Turns out, if they're all as pretty as you, I wouldn't mind be kidnapped." Lycoris declared matter-of-factly, without really thinking, while tossing their uniform jacket on one of the chairs. They were currently with the Pop Music Club, Cater having asked gently - read, nearly forced - Lycoris to come singing with him and the Club. Which, Lycoris had accepted because they had nothing better to do, Grim being held back by Professor Crewel once again.

Kalim's eyes grew wide and Cater nearly dropped his phone. Lycoris spared them no thoughts, just a greeting smile, their eyes locked on the upside down Fae.

Lilia was floating upside down like he usually was, looking smugly at the newcomer. "Is this an invitation ? I always had a fondness for bold humans." He answered with a smirk on his face.

"Who said I was human ?" Lycoris chuckled, plopping on one glitter covered bean bags, eyes still locked with Lillia's own eyes. Cater was filming them, muttering under his breath about the views this interaction alone would give him. He was already thinking of what hashtag he could use for this specific video.

Lilia and Lycoris were still looking at each other when Cater decided to cut the recording. He started to manically type his description and hashtags, not forgetting to tag his three friends, Kalim appearing in the corner of the video to mutter a small "wait, are they joking or not ?"

The video became nearly viral.

And the next time Lycoris came to the Pop Music Club and Cater started a live video or their performance, nearly all of the viewers asked if the two singers were "finally together".

"Together ?" Lycoris read the comment after finishing a song. "Together with who ?"

Cater facepalmed

Lycoris - Relationships pt2 - Pomefiore to Ramshackle

And, here's the second part of Lycoris's relationship with the cast !

Oh and, spoilers for Book 7 !

Vil : I really don't know how to explain this one. Lycoris has their own style that changes A LOT. One day they're wearing steampunk fashion, the next they're wearing Tenshi Kaiwai and so on (always outside of school days or when they're in Ramshackle). The two are neutral towards the other but Lycoris admires Vil's beauty. During Book 5 they also tell Vil, in a heartfelt way, that they prefer his beauty and that "We tend to like Villains more than Heroes because they're more relatable." But outside of that, They don't really talk to each other.

Rook :

Oh. OH. Oh. The stalker and the psychopomp. If anyone's interested I can write how their "we're neutral but we need to know the other's whereabouts constantly" relationship because it will be hella long otherwise.

Lycoris got the creeps when they heard Rook speak French before they started to rant, in French to him. He didn't catch most of it but it was hella funny on the outside to hear this otherwordly person rant in the same language Rook uses and see poor bowlcut blonde look completely lost.

Rook calls them "Monsieur Etrange" (Mister Strange) And Lycoris doesn't tell him that they're genderfluid and basically afab. Rook already probably knows already anyways.

Epel :

Do you see Lilia's labwear vignette ? When Epel asks Lilia to train him ? Well, he did the same with Lycoris when he saw them fight Floyd in the gymnasium. Ever since, once per week, Lycoris gives small self defence classes to Epel.

Lycoris never treats Epel as less than he is because of his looks or size and oftentimes chastises him because of his toxic masculinity.

Idia :

They're game buddies but Idia doesn't know it. Lycoris wasn't aware of it until Book 6 when they barged in STYX headquarters and saw Idia's setup. Otherwise Lycoris managed to strike 1 conversation with Idia, about anime and manga, asking him for recommendations based on the mangas and anime they liked to read/watch in their world. They also asked him about idol music cuz they're interested, and during that convo - sorry, fandom rant - Lycoris introduced Idia to Vocaloid. Instant love.

But they don't really talk to each other because of Idia social awkwardness and anxiety.

Ortho :

Team Baby Boy. The two get along well, Ortho desperately trying to have his brother talk more with Lycoris but alas, two socially awkward people - awkward in different ways - are hard to socialise. Otherwise, Lycoris nearly cried when they saw Idia's backstory and Ortho's tragic death. Ever since they're coddling Ortho like a mother hen while knowing perfectly well that the robot could end them if they did something wrong to his brother.

Malleus : The honorary Baby boy. Lycoris recognises his strength and admires him while wanting to end everyone and anyone for thinking that this poor poor baby with too much power is so high and mighty and unapproachable. They clocked in really quickly that he was THE Malleus Draconia but still calls him Horntorn or Peridot out of affection. After Book 7 they jokingly call him Elsa in reference to that scene at the beginning of Frozen where Elsa freezes her entire room out of grief. They also take a parental role towards him, understanding that the boy, due to his powers and status spent most of his life alone. That and he's an orphan. Oh and, until Malleus is crowned, Lycoris basically outranks him but that, Malleus doesn't need to know.

Silver : Sleeping Beauty. Disney Princess. Lycoris is very fond of the boy and admirative of him when they understood that he was Lilia's adoptive son. I mean. You have to be admirative of someone who ate Lilia's...cooking for the better of fifteen years and is still alive. After book 7, Lycoris had joked once, when Silver was falling asleep, that if things continued to go that way and if they got to stay, that they'll end up being Silver's second parent. Silver remembers it and is, to this day, the only person to know about Lycoris's crush on Lilia - Lycoris plays coy and doesn't admit of saying anything that day.

Sebek : Lycoris's sweet autistic baby. They don't really coddle him, most of the time training and sparring with Sebek and Silver, but Lycoris adapted really quickly to Sebek's antics. They, as well as the rest of the Diasomnia family, tell Sebek to calm down when he's going overboard, but they're very aware of Sebek's neurodivergence and tells him off more gently. Sebek deeply respects Lycoris for their prowess with weapons as well as because they basically look like a Fae, but Lycoris helps - sorry, TRIES (in vain until after Book 7 and still) - Sebek to reconcile with his Human heritage as well as telling his racism to fuck off (less gently than everything else. Fuck racism)

Lilia : Oh this one. Just like Rook, I can muster a small snippet or OS about Lycoris and Lilia's relationship because Dear Devil this is complicated. While Lycoris is ready to leave everyone behind, even Riddle, to go back to their old life, Lilia makes them reconsider (okay, i lied, Riddle too, but they won't admit to staying for the sake of two men). As mentioned earlier, Lycoris has a crush on Lilia. First it was purely attraction because, Eros that man is pretty, but it became something more, especially after Lycoris understood that Lilia is, Thank Poseidon, an adult. But Lycoris is still traumatised of their last relationship and won't act on this crush. Until book 7 and Lilia's dream. But that's a story for later. Just know that it entailed obvious flirting that went unnoticed and a slightly traumatised Sebek, Silver and Grim.

Grim : Lycoris true son. Their smol cat. Kitten. Lycoris is really close to Grim but oftentimes tells him off for being obnoxious. Yet they try to use gentle parenting on him (just like they do with Riddle and Sebek) because poor cat is the only monster in a school full of teenagers full of hormones and violence. He's not better but still.

The Ramshackle Ghosts : Lycoris made friends with them the first day, clearly not scared. It had deterred the ghosts until they realised Lycoris was just. Used. To ghosts shenanigans. Now they all get along pretty well

[phenixa]

Lycoris - Relationships pt1 - Heartslabyul to Scarabia

I like to think that Lycoris seems pretty open to anyone, but is in reality pretty closed off. No one really knows about their past or anything related to it.

Anygays, here's my HCs on Lycoris's relationships with every main character in the game !

Riddle : Lycoris's son. BabyboyTM They naturally take a parental role with him, caring for the Housewarden in their own way. Likes to call him by petnames, just like Floyd or Rook would. Usually it's "Little Rose", "Babyboy" (platonically and just when Riddle is really tired since they know he wouldn't have the energy to deny it) or "chaton" (Kitten in French, but it's purely platonic once again.) Riddle is the closest person Lycoris could consider as a friend.

Ace : Ace is the very first person Lycoris got somewhat close to. The first person to talk with them too outside of Grim. They usually joke with him most of the time and since Crowley put Lycoris in First Year despite their age, so Lycoris is quite close to Ace. However they got apart with him when Lycoris got closer to Riddle but they're still close.

Deuce : Just like Ace, they're close mainly because they're in the same class, but Deuce is still amazed by Lycoris's ability to adapt in this new, foreign world. Lycoris helps Deuce with classes.

Trey : They're not that close, but they're on friendly terms. Trey was the one to tell Lycoris, Ace, Deuce and Grim about Riddle's mother. If at the time Lycoris was sceptical about the whole controlling things, they still took Trey seriously. They also somewhat chastised him gently after Riddle's overblot but understood that he himself had been traumatised by Riddle's mother.

Cater : Magicam friends. Cater is the one that introduced Lycoris to magicam and the one that helped them grow on the platform. He begs them to join the Pop Music Club but Lycoris has always declined, not wanting to involve themself too much as they know they'll have to leave everyone behind at some point. Lycoris reads Cater like an open book but doesn't say much. After this isn't their problem (it is. They love the guy like a very good friend and are already too attached to some people in this devilforsaken school)

Leona : They are on... Yea no it's not love between them. First of all, Lycoris got very close with the whole Diasomnia family so it doesn't really sit well with the First Diasomnia Hater. He also doesn't like how Lycoris seems to be able to read him like an open book. It goes both way but Lycoris nonetheless respects him and understands where he comes from. After all, they also have a sibling that takes the spotlight.

Ruggie : Lycoris quite likes him and is basically a grandma with him as they keep feeding him (read : leaving food he likes and that's edible in places Ruggie often visits) Otherwise they're on friendly term even if Ruggie, just like Leona, is quite sceptical of Lycoris ability to somehow know everything.

Jack : They started to get along well in Book 2, but Jack saw a problem in how Lycoris handled Book 3 as a whole. However, after Book 6 their relationship became friendly once again, and the two had a quick heart to heart before the beginning of the events of Book 7.

Azul : The Little Shit TM. Lycoris and him are on really friendly terms and Azul considers Lycoris to be a good friend- sorry, business partner. As I said in Jack's part, Lycoris acted quite differently in Book 3 than in the game. Mainly, they didn't see anything problematic in Azul's doing, repeating "They played, they lost now they pay. It was on their contract." again and again. They ended up siding with Adeuce and Jack to defeat Azul just because Grim kept screaming in their ears that he was tired of working for Azul. And they used pretty backhanded to tamper with Azul's plan. After that, Lycoris took, just like with Riddle, a parental role with Azul. They recognise themself in him after all. Lycoris calls Azul "sweetie pie" clearly out of spite and just to annoy him.

Jade : They get along well, but, just like Leona, Jade finds it somewhat unnerving that Lycoris seems to be able to read him like an open book. Lycoris calls him "cutes" once again out of spite and just to bother him. Jade got pretty interested in Lycoris when they showed how cunning they are and he likes to watch them closely to understand how deceitful and cunning they can be. Him and Floyd are called "my sweet chaos junkies".

Floyd : Calls Lycoris Moonjelly and jokingly Coelacanth after he learned that they were older than 99% of the student body. Lycoris calls him "babs" just to retaliate with the nicknames. The two are on very good terms, Lycoris understanding Floyd's mood swings and leaves him be most of the time or is a good help when he needs to blow off some steam by fighting (physically) with someone. Lycoris is very invested in Floyd's interest in Riddle. VERY invested. Him and Jade are called "my sweet chaos junkies".

Kalim : Team Baby boy. Team Sunshine and the second member of the Pop Music club that is begging Lycoris to join the club. While Kalim and Lycoris aren't often together but Lycoris always speaks of toxic positivity in backhanded ways when they're around Kalim. They also treat him like a younger sibling. Lycoris calls him "Sunshine" most of time, and Kalim treats them as a friend, but again, who isn't treated as a friend by Kalim ?

Jamil : Oh Jamil doesn't like Lycoris. And this goes both way. It takes two manipulators to hate each other. In front of everyone else they're on good terms but Jamil is very VERY wary of Lycoris since his Unique Magic is seemingly ineffective on Lycoris (it was effective but Lycoris managed to use their psychopomp abilities to get over it in the same way as Azul did in Book 4. Ever since Snake Whisperer is ineffective on Lycoris). During Book 6, the two managed to have a "heart to heart" (read : tried to out-manipulate the other).

A Goldfishie safe is always a good reason to hold hands

So, here's a snippet of my recent fic History Maker on Ao3

"Where do you stop, Goldfishie ?" Floyd asked, watching carefully each and every reaction of the person in front of him. Riddle looked tired as can be, and the city centre had a reputation to be dangerous at this hour, regardless of gender.

"City Centre. I live near it." Floyd nodded, and let silence engulf them once again. The eel had so many questions to ask, but he had realised that it wasn’t the time nor place to ask them. Riddle looked really tired, and something told Floyd that it wasn’t just because it was past the other’s bedtime.

Once they reached the designated stop, they both went out of the tram. Floyd starting to follow Riddle sliently.

"Why are you following me ?" Riddle asked, starting to feel annoyed at the other’s antics. He didn’t have the time to play with him. It was too late for that.

Without a word, Floyd took Riddle’s hand and started to walk faster. "Which direction ?" He asked lowly, nearly murmuring. Riddle looked startled before showing the way. He still tried to take back his hand but the eel had a strong grip on him. When he started to voice his disagreement with the eel’s actions, Floyd stopped and leaned closer to the smaller of the two. "Let me." He leaned in closer, eyes fixed on something in the dark. "Guide us towards your home, but make a detour. Like, turn left two consecutive times." Feeling the danger, Riddle only nodded and took two consecutive turns left.

After walking in silence for a few minutes, Riddle gave Floyd a look, and murmured : "What’s happening, Floyd ?"

Floyd only sped up his steps, still clinging onto the redhead’s hand. "We’re being followed. By someone drunk, or high, or both. I don’t know. But he’s been following us for a while. Where d’ya live Goldfishie ?" Riddle gave the name of the street, and let himself be guided by the taller young man. He knew that technically he was stronger than the person following them, and that if things went down, the police would understand the use of magic towards someone non-magic as self-defense. But he didn’t know if the person was armed, posessed any magic or anything else. They might have been two against one, but no one could predict what would happen. And if his mother learned that he went out during the week - no, that he went out at all ! - she would force him to go back to her. And he refused this idea with all his might.

Ten minutes passed, walking in circles around the street where he lived. At some point, Floyd had stopped nearly running, to take a more relaxed way of walking, but he still held onto Riddle’s hand with all his might. His hand was warm, and, in a strange, convoluted way, reassured the smaller young adult. Whatever would happen, he was safe.

Another few minutes went by, and Floyd started to walk towards the street where Riddle lived. His way of walking had become more and more relaxed with every step they were taking. "He left. Of fell down to throw up somewhere." Once again, Riddle nodded at those words, and started to take the lead towards his apartment. Once they were finally in front of the building, Riddle stopped walking and looked around, to see if that person that had followed them was there. There was only darkness.

"Well, uh..." the smaller of the two started, looking at their still linked hands. "Thank you for that, Floyd. I really appreciate it." Floyd offered him a smile, and let go of his hand. Suddenly, the night was cold.

History Maker (snippet)

The rink was crowded tonight. It wasn’t really rare, especially since it was Thursday evening and college students often organised nights out at the rink. But it was a lot more crowded than a regular Thursday night, it looked like a Saturday afternoon during winter break. This meant that this night would be funny, with small fry holding for dear life on the railings. Or it could be bothering as hell, since what Floyd had planned for tonight was to work on one of his tricks on the ice. And, even if there was no children in the way too long queue, he knew for a fact that people didn’t care about the rules of the ice rink, and that there would be people in rental skates in the middle of the rink. And by the Great Seven did it bother not only Floyd, but every regular there.

"Floyd ? Weren’t you supposed to work tonight ?"

The voice coming from the queue made everyone in a small radius turn towards it. Azul was standing in the queue with Jade beside him. Oh right, The whole meds campus had planned a party night here today. Jade had told him earlier this week. That he managed to rope Azul to come with him was something.

"Nah." The slightly taller twin answered with a small grimace. "Wanted to train tonight, someone took my shift." He showed his bag full of his skating supplies - most of them offered to him by his twin and not-best-friend-but-business-partner - with a lazy grin stuck on his face. Azul and Jade eyed him wearily before the smaller one of the group sighed, defeated by the actions of the twins.

Floyd had discovered a passion for ice skating during their third year at Night Raven College after Coach Vargas had organised a P.E class at the local rink on Sage’s Island. Floyd had found the activity interesting at the time and still found it interesting nowadays. There was, like in parcour, always something new and challenging to learn, the exact same way that the danger and fear of an injury was there, exhilarating. So, this new passion had followed him out of NRC, nearly three years after his first discovery of the sport.

The queue moved slowly, so slowly that Floyd, already bothered by it when he first saw the sheer length of it, took his twin and friend by the hand and pulled them out of the queue. Azul emitted a surprised noise, before the taller twin explained himself. "We’ll use my card."

"But we need to pay for the rentals !" Azul cried out as the people queueing around them looked at the three of them suspiciously. "Floyd, I’m not NOT paying for a service I should pay for !"

"They won’t care since it’s me. And you basically pay for it, just through my card. Don’t worry." He pulled them with him towards the gates separating the hall from the ice rink and lockers. Azul continued to protest weakly with Jade smiling beside him. The twins revelled in chaos and skipping a long and boring queue while everyone else watched them with envious eyes was a form of chaos that neither twin - and much less Jade - could let go of. And as Floyd had promised, the starff member let them go without a word other than a salutation to the taller twin, as Floyd gave his card to Jade, who then gave it to Azul. They had saved money with this ordeal and Azul, close to his money as he was, wouldn’t complain more than necessary. The octomer would still try to reimburse Floyd at some point, hating to be indebted, but for now, Azul and Jade went to fetch their skates on the shelves as Floyd pulled his out of his bag.

By the time Floyd had finished lacing his own skates, he looked up from his crouching position on the bench to see Azul struggling with his rental skates.

"Need help ?"

twst OC fic (WIP)

I tried to start writing a twst fic with my main OC (Lycoris) and idk if i wanna continue it as I still have to work on a florid fic. So, uh, here's the wip to see if ppl would be interested to read that (under the cut)

The day Lycoris ended up in Twisted Wonderland was the day they were supposed to start their Master’s Degree. They were ready to masterise English Literature and write papers upon papers of academic research, all the while writing their own book. They were so ready.

Then that cursed black carriage came and ruined everything.

Lycoris had awoken in a coffin - first surprise - in a totally new outfit - second surprise - and hearing the whispers of dozens of young men - thrid surprise, they had stopped counting after that.

When the coffin finaly let them out, Lycoris took a good glance at the room. Dozens of young men - no, <em>boys</em> looking expectatly at the coffins. All of those boys were hooded but their souls had the colours of eagerness and challenge.

Okay, so, boys being boys during what looked like a ceremony. Usual.

A group of boys stood up from the whole group. Five young men and a tablet - what was it doing here and why was it levitating ? - were waiting in front, slightly on the side, looking like important people.

Lycoris could immediately sense that something was deeply wrong here.

Dear Devil, let them pray that they were not sent on another <em>Gotta Save the All</em> mission  without anyone warning them. They didn’t have the time, nor the energy to do so.

Lycoris nearly fell asleep during the ceremony, only gleaning some pieces of information here and there. So, this was an all-boys, magical academy - like the latest book they’ve been reading - where the students were separated into different dorms - like any major magical academies Lycoris had known - only perking up when hearing some names or the names of the dorms.

So there were seven dorms. Interesting.

The Twilight being was about to truly fall asleep when they realised they were the last person who hadn’t been called. All eyes were on them. They looked for another adult but all they saw was a man with a mask who looked back at them looking as lost as Lycoris was.

"Uh... Is this were you chase me out with a broom ? Cuz I can leave by myself. I’ll probably find a way out." Lycoris sighed, already tired from this all. This made some of the boys snicker and one of the more ‘important’ ones squint at their words.

[phenixa]

Okay, this is a - not so - long overdue introduction to my Twst OC and usual OC for roleplaying in the worlds of my current hyperfixation

May I present you Lycoris Black !

They're my "yuu" (if I can call them like that), a mix between a self insert (age, bday and overall physical appearance) and a pure OC (everything linked to their backstory cuz uh... I can't have lived that.)

So here's a bit more info about my Lycoris, in no particular order :

Uses They/them pronouns but doesn't mind everything else. Transmasc but not a man. Genderfluid

They have never mentioned their homeworld beside saying that it's "somewhere far above the stars" and "the Twilight never really ends"

Their world is somewhat akin to the Twilight Realm of Zelda Twilight Princess in the fact that it's a world basking in eternal Dusk (because I created Lycoris during my very first Zelda TP hyperfixation back in early 2010s)

They also don't really explain this world because it's only their birth world, they lived in our Earth (in France), raised not by their biological mother but by a member of their family - an ancestor - who came to Earth long ago, raised and named them. They consider this woman to be their mother and main caretaker while also really loving their bio mom.

They have a Twin, named Lily, who contrary to Lycoris, bears the family name and not Lycoris's caretaker's name (since said caretaker was a female and lived on Earth she had to take her husband's name.)

They're from a long lived species (thus explaining why they know a living ancestor) that looks like the Fae but is endemic to that Twilight world (the name of the kingdom they're from is "The Dusk Royaldom" because it doesn't have a lineage of kings and queens, it changes with each generation (maybe i'll explain it someday).)

Lily wasn't raised by her mother either but raised as a weapon, an assassin, by a cult-like group. She's regain her freedom since but still works for the organisation that raised her.

Yeah basically the twins' bio mom didn't really raised the two but she's really close to her children (her name is Victorie btw).

As stated on the pic, Lycoris is a psychopomp, an ability that's shared by few people in their family that basically lets them see people's souls and interact with ghosts and spirits like you would interact with a living being. More info on the pic tho.

Their favourite food is pannacotta, they would eat it "even on the head of someone infested with fleece" (it's a French expression sorry if it's badly translated).

Least favourite food : seafood (they're allergic to most of it) and mushrooms (not an allergy but the texture makes them gag).

They really had a good childhood tho, the only dark spot was that their first boyfriends (they were in a CONSENSUAL throuple), well, one of them disappeared and the other committed suicide shortly after. Lycoris blames themself for that every day.

It led them to basically resorts to prostitution in their two last years of High School, where they slept with basically everyone and anyone, sometimes even for a quick way to have cash. (they stopped afterwards and didn't have any intimate relationship since.)

Because of that, they're really conscious of every danger and reality of sex, and while in nrc, they would often talk freely abouot sexuality, educating everyone that asks them.

The only person that stayed through thick and thin is one of their old fwb, a guy named Marc, who they have basically a Queer Platonic Relationship with since their second year of Uni.

Speaking of uni, they studied foreign languages and literature, mainly English literature.

They were going to start their Master's degree in English Literature when they got isekai'd. They're very salty. So in their free time they write their master's degree thesis out of spite.

It's on the relationship between fanfic, queer culture and YA fiction in English speaking Literature.

They also taught French as a Foreign Language for a year.

They're very good at magic, coming from a magical species and having been trained. But they're shit at sports.

Except figure skating. Cuz it's their bonding time with their twin, so the two are pretty good at it (Oh, how I would love to be good at skating ;-;. Yes. I'm projecting)

They became quick friends with Riddle, seeing how repressed the boy was. They just want to help him (thanks being a psychopomp) and take on a parental role with him. Calls him "babyboy" or "little rose" or "chaton" out of affection.

During Book 3 they didn't see any problem with Azul's doing and only spoiled his plans because Ace, Deuce and Grim begged them to (they did it happily tho).

They became friends with the whole Octatrio afterwards, once again, cuz they wanted to help Azul with his issues.

Azul reminds them of themself, and Jade and Floyd reminds them of their relationship with Lily.

Azul's nickname is "sweetie pie", Floyd is "babs", Jade is "cutes" and the tweels together are their "sweet chaos junkies". Most of these nicknames are out of spite tho.

Speaking of nicknames, Floyd calls Lycoris "Moonjelly".

Lycoris is really close with Lilia, they sometimes spar together and have a very close friendship.

No, they totally do not have a crush on Lilia, i don't know what you're talking about.

I'll stop here, this post is already hella long. But if you want some more, I can always write little snippets of Lycoris's NRC life ^^

Riddle Rosehearts Friendship headcanons

He’s kind of shy with his friendships, not knowing how to deal with it properly and “as the rules state”. But there’s no rules in friendships as no friendship resembles the other.

He’s always scared his mother will come to take him away from his friends.

He’s a giver but likes to receive gifts and small affections.

He’ll never ask for one but please hug him. He’s been deprived of love his entire life. Hug that boy.

Study meetings ! You both would study together just to share the other’s presence.

In the same vein, once your friendship has evolved into the “comfy with the other’s presence” phase, you more or less spend all your time together just basking in the other’s presence. Y’know, parallel play ? yeah, that.

If you’re knowledgeable on a matter he isn’t, he’ll ask a lot of questions, even if it’s not a domain he’s really interested in (like video games).

Just like in a relationship, I think that Riddle wouldn’t be big on PDA with his friends (we see that with Trey), but he’s more in small attentions, small things that are less obvious (like with Yuuken in the manga)

Don’t expect to be saved from the rules tho. You can always lose your head :}

If you wear alternative fashion outside of school days, expect Riddle to ask you about your style, its culture. 

We see how he would’ve dressed in his dream if he hadn’t been so controlled, so I think that he wouldn’t dare but would love to try your style at least once.

In the same vein, if you wear a more “soft” style (tenshi kaiwai, ouji/lolita, cottagecore etc.) he’ll more easily try than if you’re into punk/goth/decora styles. But he would try everything at least once.

Would chastise you for it but he likes being called nicknames. If “Goldfishie” makes him shudder with anger because it’s Floyd (to be discussed tho), small nicknames between him and you as his friend would make him more comfortable in your friendship. 

(I HC that my OC calls Riddle “Baby boy” or “kitten” but not in a sexy way, more in a friendship/parental way, but that’s because of their relationship.)

If you take a more nurturing side in your friendship (aka, if you’re the Mom Friend) Riddle would unconsciously see you as a parental figure, regardless of your age. It’s not negative or infantilising, just see it as how ppl with shitty parents act towards the Mom Friend of their group. It’s unconscious on both of your sides but yeah, Riddle would lean more on you if you let him.

On the other hand, if you’re the “child” of the group, he’ll act like a big brother towards you. Once again, completely unconsciously.

Now, a small fic-y part based on one of my HCs regarding Riddle and my OC, but with reader :

The sun was high in the sky, and Riddle and you had decided to study in the rose maze surrounding Heartslabyul. Riddle was surrounded by books and manuals and notebooks, while you simply had one large grimoire and your own notebook. The Housewarden was concentrated on his studies, keeping his class-leading stance on his classmates by studying something he should only see in class the following year, while you were simply reading and taking notes on potions for your alchemy class. If the potions were the ones you should be able to study during your internship with an alchemist or a potion maker, it was between you and Crewel who gave you the book.

The two of you had been there for a few hours, and Trey had come at least twice to give you two pastries he just baked and refills of tea. You even had joked that he acted like a butler of some sorts, which made Riddle groan – how dared you disturb him ?

“Say, kitten,” you started not raising your eyes from your grimoire. Riddle only hummed in answer also not raising his eyes, “do you think this love potion smells different with everyone ? Like the smell depends on who the person loves ?”

Riddle finally raised his eyes. You had mentioned once a story you had read where there was a love potion like that, and that you found it really interesting. The redhead stood up slightly, leaning over the table and books littered on it to take a look at your grimoire. You pointed at the specific potion you mentioned, a potent love potion that was banned from most countries due to the side effects – and that, yeah, basically, forcing someone to love you is pretty bad – and Riddle took a look, reading upside down.

“It’s not mentioned anywhere so I couldn’t tell you. Why don’t you go ask Professor Crewel ?” You nodded but made no move, only smiled at your friend.

“What would your smell be, sweety ? While I do see you smelling of rose in that potion, I don’t think it will be only that…” Riddle recoiled slightly before he started to think.

“Roses, probably, with a hint of something sweet maybe ?”

“Like a strawberry tart ? Oooooh yeah, you’d smell like a strawberry and rose tart !” You squealed imagining the perfume. While you didn’t like the smell of roses, it suited Riddle and his natural scent was faintly based on roses. “We definitely need to make that perfume for you !”

Riddle recoiled again, taken aback by your sudden declaration. He then started to think. “I think you’d smell like dusk in spring.” He ended up declaring out of the blue, which made you stop. Did he just follow you in one of your rants ?

“Then when people see our friendship, they’ll think of eating a strawberry and rose tard in a spring evening.” You concluded with a soft smile, leaning in to ruffle Riddle’s hair gently.

too tired to doodle properly, but have a florid

For the pride palates thing... Would you maybe do trans or asexual Zexion / Ienzo? This is such a cool idea!

Pride palettes (accepting!)

POV: you come out as trans to your dad & he starts using gender affirming language at every given opportunity to let you know he loves you

So. Compared to his son, and the entirety of Octavinelle, that man came home. In only 40 pulls. Thank you Lilia. I love you.

He's sorry for the fuckery he did to me back in January with the General Lilia pulls. Thank you.

[phenixa]

What truly makes the Ienzo character file so great is that a lot of the other stuff that makes him fucked up came from changes in plans, coincidence, and a bunch of little solitary things you’d have to piece together yourself, but the character file is like they sat down and went “yes look at how many things are wrong with this man”

“Memory of Childhood”

I think a lot about memories. I don’t really remember anything from my childhood.

But I remember being 8 years old in Radiant Garden very vividly!

I have two dads: the strict one and the nice one

The strict one, Even, looked after me more often because my other dad was busy with lord stuff.

He would search for me whenever I ran off into the gardens. Which was often. And then he would yell at me for it. That’s how I know he cares!

He was very strict about studying and called me a daft idiot whenever I messed up my easy work. This is why Master Ansem was the nice one

We got ice cream together!

Though in hindsight I think sometimes he was getting ice cream for himself and using me as an excuse rather than actually getting ice cream because I wanted it…

Even thought Master Ansem spoiled me too much :P

I love my memories of Radiant Garden which is why when my colleagues told me that Master Ansem had betrayed me, I believed it and helped do away with him!

Turns out they were lying.

So now I’m on God’s green Earth purely for atonement ❤️
