*The audience, especially Vil's fans, are expressing concern and worry about how the NRC group will fare, since they are the last to perform.*
Maleficia: What is causing all this commotion among the people?
Baul: I believe it's because Their Highness's group is performing last, putting them at a significant disadvantage.
Maleficia: My grandchild's group? At a disadvantage, you say?
Lilia: There's no need to panic.
Malleus: Indeed. Being the final act can provide an opportunity to create a lasting impression.
Baul: You say that, but...
*Some audience members wish to leave early due to exhaustion from the earlier performances.*
Random person A: Can't we just vote already?
Random person B: But Vil hasn't performed yet.
Malleus, Maleficia, Baul, and Lilia: ...
The emcee: I appreciate your patience. Now, without further ado, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for... the NRC group!
The audience: *cheers*
*MC, Vil, Rook, Epel, Ace, Deuce, Kalim, and Jamil entered the stage in their uniforms, taking their respective positions (with Vil, of course, at the center).*
*The stage lights dim, and the moment the music begins, the lights brighten again, revealing their historical ikemen outfits.*
The audience: !!!
*Fifteen minutes before the performance, MC spoke to them about their chances of winning the competition.*
MC: I admit I didn’t realize we would be the last to perform. Still, do I think our chances of winning are low? *smiles* Not at all.
MC: We will enchant the audience with our performance, almost akin to the feeling of falling in love.

Lyrics:
Kalim: Everything I know is the melodies and symphonies
Jamil: Everything I know is a life without light
Kalim: (I will always be alone)
Rook: There's a longing inside my soul
Vil: And in the deepest void where time is but a scenery
Vil: I'll be waiting for you!
All: Darling look into my eyes and tell me what's inside
Vil: Truth be told my dear, you don't know what it's like to leave it all behind
All: Take a step into the night,
All: hear the voices singing la la la la la""
Deuce: Dancing gracefully to the beat of your heart
Epel: Until the morning comes TO STEAL YOU AWAY!!!
Ace and Deuce: All I ever knew was that you and me were meant to be
MC and Vil: All I ever knew was the taste of your lips against mine
Rook: (You are mine forevermore)
MC: We were bound for eternity
Vil: Now I am lost inside this everlasting reverie
Vil: And I'm losing my mind
All: Darling look into my eyes and tell me what's inside
MC: Truth be told my dear, you don't know what it's like to leave it all behind
All: Take a step into the night,
All: hear the voices singing la la la la la
MC: Come away with me through the echoes of time
All: Until the morning comes to steal you away!
Vil: Darling look into my eyes and tell me what's inside
Vil: Truth be told my dear, you don't know what it's like...
All: Take a step into the night,
All: hear the voices singing la la la la la
All: Come away with me through the echoes of time
All: Until the morning comes to steal you away
All: So you looked into my eyes and brought me back to life
Vil: I still think of you in the dark of the night
Vil: A silent lullaby
Vil: I'll be waiting here 'til the end of all days
Vil: *a tear rolls down his cheek*
Vil: My nocturnal serenade...
The audience: ...
The audience: *all stood up and cheered*
Malleus, Maleficia, Lilia, and Baul: ...
Baul: *starts ugly crying*
Maleficia: It's beautiful...
Malleus: *proud dad smile*
Lilia: Their performance has just finished but the song is etched in my mind.
Ace: AHH! FINALLY!
Epel: *was actually scared earlier* I thought I would make a mistake!
Rook: *chuckles* You did well, Epel!
Vil: *feels restless*
Rook: Roi du Poison?
Vil: ...
Vil: Rook, do you think we've done enough to defeat Royal Sword Academy?
Rook: ...
Rook: *smiles*
Rook: Roi du Poison, while I’m uncertain about our chances of winning, it's clear that you are the fairest of them all, and everyone recognizes that.
Vil: ...
Vil: *smiles*
Kalim: Guys? Do you know where MC is?
Jamil: They went to greet their grandmother.
Maleficia: Congratulations, my dear. *pampers MC with light kisses on the face*
MC: *chuckles* Nana, the results haven't been announced yet.
Malleus: *clears throat* *waiting for his turn to congratulate his child*
Maleficia: You can wait.
Malleus: ...
Lilia: *laughs*
MC: *notices that Baul isn't with them*
MC: Where is Sir Baul?
Lilia: Maybe he got hungry and went to buy some food.
Baul: *looking sternly at Ruggie*
Ruggie: ...
Baul: You.
Ruggie: I don't know you, sir—
Baul: YOU WERE STARING ADMIRINGLY AT THEIR HIGHNESS!
Ruggie: NO! AS IF!

Honestly atp he's just completely let go of his "cool and mysterious" fake persona. It's either extremely happy or extremely horny for him now omfg.

Ngl though I don't like this series that much JDKSNSMD seeing Malleus grin innocently like that while he retains his sultry ikemen eyes is a bit unnerving. 🤣 You could cover his mouth and you wouldn't guess he has his mouth wide open like that lmao. I think Epel looks the cutest in this series.
Bonus: Me when I post twst screenshots:

The Nightmare Before Christmas Lost in The Book: Over The Spiral Hill
{1} {2}
Tumblr media
“Hello… You. A wonderful person who sleeps in my arms. I wish you could open your eyes…” 
A voice whispers closely by your head, feeling fingers ghosting over your skin. You recall the previous events that had transpired. The book Grim found on the floor of the bookstore, Yuu and you reaching out to save him from being sucked in along with your friends…
Where are they!?
Feeling your body regain consciousness, your eyes admittedly search for the group, relief settling into you once seeing them asleep near you. Yuu holding Grim within in their arms as they snooze quietly together.
The worry you felt lowers, relaxing into the warmth of the pin-stripped suit holding you close.
Raising your head to the stranger, you feel your words falter in your throat. Dark sun-glasses covered his eyes, yet they lowered when he too eyed you more closely. The color of blood-orange irises astonished you, the brightness in his gaze reminding you of a lit jack-o-lantern.  
“Augh… My eyes feel heavy..” Grim grumbles, waking up as Yuu stands up clumsily with the fluff-ball in his arms.
“Grim! Yuu!” You call out, attention away from the newcomer as his lips tilt into a confused frown.
-
The male that held you previously was named Skully j. Graves, or Skully for short, introducing himself with polite flourish. Until… He gone up to everyone in kind, kissing their knuckles happily. Causing a good chunk of your friends screaming, until finally settling his sights on you at the tail-end of his kissing spree.
“Oi!” Epel calls out to the taller male, about to step in, “Don’t try that on (Y/N)!” Skully ignores the purple-haired student. Walking up to you with a beaming smile on his lips as Yuu shoots you a thumbs up. “He’s a gentleman.” They state loudly as Grim puffs out his chest with a pout, unhappy that his fur was touched.
 Holding out his towards you he bows graciously, waiting for your move, you reluctantly take it. He straightens his body, holding you close as he presses a kiss, eyes closed as yours’s widen.
You grin, choosing to reappreciate you leaned closer, pressing a kiss to his forehead near the diamonds around the crown of his head.
The male pauses, this time, he seemed shocked at such a gesture.
A jovial laugh leaves his throat as he eagerly scoops you up into his arms. Grinning like a fool as he twirls you around, not minding the glares he received.
-
Idia grumbles under his breath. "Ugh... This is nauseating, such a crowd..." He shrinks in his seat during the Halloween Town meeting, "Too many sparkling ikemen... It's like a new costume event in I.R.L..." He bemouns quietly, seeing a few of his classmates stand up to greet the townsfolk as politely as they could.
Glancing at his seatmate, Vil eyes the crowd skeptically. The blondes stare scared him even more!
Hearing the commotion on Halloween should be celebrated, Idia glances at Yuu and Grim and the Ramshackle House-Warden. "H-Hey... What about you..." He mumbles to them, unsure as he fiddles with his tailcoat.
"Hm?" You think for a minute...
"Halloween has a complicated history from where we're from." You explain to Idia. As your fellow NRC friends become interested at your own ideas. "There's so many people that celebrated it differently. Skully's example is actually not too far off from-"
"Eh-!?" Epel exclaimed, shocked. "So it's really dull' for you?"
"Well- I meant to say, since there's so many cultures and religion it just depends on how YOU feel about celebrating. Kinda like Chris-"
"Oh, not that made-up holiday again!" Grim whines as Yuu laughs.
-
[Yay! I really love this twst update! I've been playing a lot! I hope Skully gets a card! I enjoy his v.a's acting for him! Hopefully I can post a part three soon when the event updates again! Thank you for reading! Art, reblogs and comments are super helpful! See You!]

Lilia, Epel: Blessing Givers, Curse Breaker
Lilia’s vignettes continue to be gold! He “humble” brags about how his voice is great, he’s sooo adorable, and such an ikemen… (Apparently he realized he was cute because people would give him free stuff and help on his travels and when he first came to NRC!) Best part was definitely when Lilia described cooking for his dorm members and they were “so touched” that they bowed their heads, covered their faces, and/or cried 💀 NOT THEM PUTTING A PICTURE OF MALEFICENT DRAGON FORM ON LILIA'S BIRTHDAY CARD… His vignettes also mention having the strength to overcome “a curse” 😭 Cruel reminders of the tragedy that unfolded in his past, and bis unfulfilled search for a cure for Silver... TWST devs, you sickos/j
A Tale as Old as Time.
Tumblr media
Three fairies crowded around a cradle, its curtained hood up to obscure the infant within. Green, pink, blue—each was dressed in a particular color. They glanced at the baby and at each other, mouths agape to discuss their blessings.
Safeguarded within the platinum frame was a celebration of life and a future yet to be told. The fragile start of a brand new story.
Lilia wanted to protect it himself.
“Looks like some fancy shindig.” The remark came from Epel, who gazed upon the same painting. "Erm... I mean, party. That is what it is, right...?"
"They've come to bestow gifts upon a newborn princess. Royal affairs can be a bit stiff, I'm afraid. Can't even show up to one without an invitation! Some hosts are just sticklers for tradition and protocol."
"Oh, I got it!" Epel visibly perked, cheeks appling with pink. "It's a different kind of gathering. Back home in Harveston, they're a lot more informal. Family and all the neighbors coming by with plates of warm food, a makeshift band and folks dancing, catching up by the fire... It's so lively."
Lilia’s lip curled, the corners lifting into a slight smile. "It's good to know that your hometown hasn't lost its charm."
"You've visited before?"
"Once, long ago," the ancient fae chuckled, "when I was still a stubborn and stony-faced youth. The people of Harveston opened their hearts and offered hospitality. From what you've told me, it's clear that the very same spirit from then persists to this day."
"Gosh, really?" Epel puffed up at that, as though he were a peacock flaunting his feathers. "Hehe, wellll, Harveston does have a way of makin' ya feel cozy and right at home, even if yer far away from it!"
"That it does." Lilia's eyes traced the wall of artwork before him. The colors, shapes, and textures. "Twisted Wonderland is so vast and diverse. I've traveled far and wide, experienced a great deal of cultures, yet I always find myself anchored to that one special place called home. There is no comfort like it."
There’s no place like home.
A twinge pulsated in his chest. The pain, marring the nostalgic warmth he bathed in. Lilia did not let it show—not to his underclassman, not this child that stared at him with such eagerness.
He swallowed.
“How do you celebrate in Briar Valley?” Epel asked. “Can you tell me about your traditions too?”
“Kufufu. You’re keen on learning, I see.”
“I didn’t always. I’m sure if you asked Vil, he’d give you a mouthful about how ‘uppity’ and ‘full of myself’ I was at first.” Epel groaned at the thought of another lecture from his dorm leader. “… But recently, I’ve been thinkin’ it’s not too bad to hear about how others experience everything.
“Meemaw—my grandma—goes to the city to sell our farm’s produce. She has to switch up how she talks to speak to the locals. I noticed our mayor too, when he talks to tourists. So learning about new people and cultures can’t be a bad thing.”
Epel’s eyes were wide, sparkling with wanderlust. Wistful and longing for the world that awaited him.
Perhaps Lilia had worn the same expression before, at the moment of his epiphany. When had he realized it? When the elderly couple had draped a blanket over him, when they shared a meal, when they spun him the stories of their lives, or when he sat at the cradle and relived those times to a still dormant Malleus?
The warmth in him expanded, like a gulp of soup trickling down his throat, then splashing in his stomach. It had been a humble broth of vegetables, and yet it satisfied him down to the last drop.
“We’re really not so different,” Lilia explained with a grin. “Food and friends are all you need to have a good time wherever you are.
“However, if you are particularly fortunate, you just may have a guardian fairy descend and give you blessings as well.” He indicated the painting of the three fairies hovering over a cradle. “Like so. I believe this infant was gifted with song, beauty, and…”
“Song and beauty?!” Epel’s expression crinkled. “Who decided on those, the parents?”
“The guardian fairies themselves. They choose what they believe will bring the blessed child happiness.”
“They could’ve given the kid something more…” Epel vaguely waved a hand. “I don’t know, useful? Why not strength so they won’t lose any fights? I’d be happy with some more muscle of my own…”
Lilia laughed, soft and low like a midnight whisper. “Why not indeed.”
Because time steals away everything eventually, hissed a voice in his head. The truth, bare and bitter.
The edges of Lilia’s vision quivered. A memory resurfaced—blink, and he saw himself in the frame, his long shadow cast over the crib. Blink, and that was Silver nestled in the fabric. Blink, and the castle was abandoned and covered in thorns.
A fairy robbing a crib of its cursed child.
“Strength is good to have,” Lilia said slowly, “but it will not last forever. Not many things do.”
Still… If I could have one wish, it would be…
The only force able to break the spell set upon Silver. The one feeling he was certain he was incapable of. A love so pure and honest, it was known to be true.
Something he wasn’t worthy of.
True love.
Not him. Not the grimy, low-born bat of a dubious past—as his most unkind of thoughts would insist.
He was the same as them. He had condemned Silver to walking in the night, had made the decision for him. The instant his hair had turned from pale sunshine to the moonlight of his namesake, it was too late to unwind the clock.
Which had he cast—blessing or curse?
The longer he looked at the painting, the more mocking the gentle, rounded faces of the guardian fairies seemed to become. Guiltless, oblivious beings, they were.
They would never know of his plight.
Lilia scoffed. “If the fairies wanted the child to be happy, they should have granted them that strength.”
That which was impossible for him.
"The power to overcome a curse.”
"... The power to overcome a curse, huh?" Epel quietly mused. "Not even Vil-senpai has that kind of strength--and his unique magic is to cast curses! Until the conditions are fulfilled, it can't be broken."
"That's the trouble with curses," Lilia agreed. "They're finicky, depending on how they're woven. Some may even last a lifetime without ever being lifted. Others may spend their own lives seeking out cures."
The story of his life. He was always searching for something, something, something. Lost friends, how to hatch a dragon's egg, true love to dispel drowsiness.
Now, a happy ending.
Lilia released a sigh through his nose.
If only.
"Well, if magic can't make that wish come true... we'll just have to make it a reality ourselves, won't we?"

Shop update part 1!
This week's shop update includes rings, keychains, necklaces, bracelets, and plushies!! I've also introduced Free!! themed items in my shop as well. A necklace and plush of Haru to be more specific. Part 2 of my shop update will be released next week, then my shop will go on sale for the anniversary of Ikemen Villains and Twisted Wonderland.
Please check out my shop here: Shop — Letters to Ear
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The above jewelry are all inspired by various Twisted Wonderland themes. With the heart earrings being inspired by Riddle's book 7 dream wear. Plus, the ribbon collars are based off the White Rabbit fest clothing that Deuce and Epel wear. As for the next three designs, they are based off the Wish Upon a Star event story.
When crafting these new items, I actually had some troubles. I was stuck between crafting a design I wanted or crafting a design to sell. I got so stressed about designs I had to put a photo of Koki from Growth to cheer me up.
(Photo in question below)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was stuck in such a bad place for the longest time. So, I told myself to just make something I really wanted. That something being the jewelry items inspired by Free!! as well as the two ring designs in my shop!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As for these two keychains here, well, I've been really into Love and Deepspace. I thought it would be cute to make keychains for fellow fans of the game. Anywhoo, thank you if you read all of this, and please look forward to more in-depth details of the jewelry designs in the next few days.

Okay, hear me out...
I ranked the TWST boys based on how compatible we'd be in a relationship :]
Tumblr media
I AM NOT DUMPING ON THESE CHARACTERS, I AM SIMPLY JUDGING HOW COMPATIBLE WE'D BE
Explanations for why under the cut! ('Meh' not included cus they're the ones I didn't see anything particularly right or wrong with them)
Riddle: He's one of my favorite characters actually, but the guy's got some shit to work through, and I don't think I (or either of my Yuus) would be the best to help him through his healing
Deuce: Look, the guy is a sweetheart and despite the boneheaded things he does sometimes, he's pretty smart!
Trey: Domesticity is appealing, and he's a baker. 'Nuff said tbh. (Genuinely though, he's great)
Leona: I've joked about LeoRose before, and I called it cursed for a reason. We're kinda like oil and water, everything near us would burn in our wake
Jack: ... Do I even need to say anything at all? I mean, I will if you want me to ig-
Azul: I've said how personality swapped Rose is similar to Azul in many ways, and everyone knows the best reverse personality AUs aren't really making everything about the character opposite, but exploring what would've happened if they'd made all different choices in the face of their traumas, then transplanting them into the main timeline. Me (/Rose) and Azul would bring out the worst in each other, and it wouldn't be good for either of us, or other people.
Jade: In retrospect, it might not be bad, cus calm hikes looking for mushrooms and little lizards and stuff... it could be nice...
Floyd: Cats and dogs, methinks. Opposing chaotic vibes would be too much for everyone around. Not to mention the sheer lack of responsibility together TvT WE CAN'T BOTH BE (KINDA) CARELESS
KALIM WAS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT PICTURE ME AND HIM THAT WAY, I'M SORRY, HE'S JUST TOO LITTLE BROTHER
Jamil: Again, nothing objectively wrong with him, but someone close to me hurt me, and she acted just like him, so even though the way he behaves is way more justified by circumstance, it still ticks me off, and that's not the best foundation for a relationship
Epel: We would have the best fun ever, so much, and visiting his hometown and getting nice warm apple cider together... nice...
Idia: Pretty much the same as Riddle, he's one of my favorites, but he's got some things to work through, not to mention the way our unhealthy weeby habits would only feed into and encourage each other
ORTHO IS ALSO NOT ON THIS LIST FOR OBVIOUS REASONS
Malleus: I had previously thought my type was rugged tsunderes/antiheroes, and that I'd never like an ikemen. I was wrong, Malleus is so babygirl
LILIA IS NOT ON THIS LIST AS HE IS OLDER THAN ME BY A GAZILLION YEARS BOTH PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY (HE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES THO)
Sebek: I ain't one to judge fangirl habits but like, if he takes a chill pill, we can definitely kick it (plus, my guy has some nice arms, he could prolly pick me up...)

I feel so bad for spamming your inbox (I always dooo) but I had a sudden realization and!! I have to tell someone who'd understand!!! Ignore this if it's bothersome I'll understand!
So while I was imagining myself as a holy mary because I'll most likely never have sex, all for the purpose of giving birth to disney ikemen claude frollo because someone has to do it for the sake of the horny sleepover -which is an insane sentence- I went "heh if any of those kids had to come out of me it'd probably be Silver" because we have the same disability and there's a high hereditary risk. AND THEN I thought about how I don't want kids because I wouldn't want them to go through the same struggles I did (I have very intense feelings about Silver) but. One of the many reasons I love Lilia is that he was a freaking great dad on this matter! Never complained about Silver's somnolence, inattentiveness, or troubles waking up, never scolded him for being lazy or 'expected more of him', took him to as many doctors he could, shushes Sebek when he's giving crap to Silver, and overall was just very normal and respectful about it while having no idea what it could be! So if I had a kid. And he were the father. It- it wouldn't be so bad...
Just to say huuuhh this has opened the dam for fantasizing about having children with Lilia perfectest man ever. I mean how can I not?? When he's the ultimate ideal father for the very specific disorder I have?????? When he's done EVERYTHING I'd want for a parent to do in cases like mine??? I swear it's ridiculous how this character in a disney gacha game seems to have been made to fit EVERY criteria for my fantasized best person in the world, Yana Toboso went through my head and took everything in order to condemn me to eternal yearning
Okay I'm done oversharing I'll go drink water and calm down
reading this was a fun exercise in thinking for me bc I obviously also had to ask myself who would ACTUALLY make sense as my biological child. and the answer is clearly epel but I digress
if there's anything I really admire about this game it's that the characters are so hyperspecific that there's always bound to be someone who fits them just perfect. AND THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING TO ME!! I think you would make a good step-parent for silver either way (not to put that idea in your head but hoohoo) lilia being a good dad IS actually so attractive, whether or not you're into the idea of having kids it shows that he's patient and understanding and sympathetic and so on!! it's really really good!!!

Tell me about Twisted Wonderland? How is it?
It's a visual novel where the concept is popular disney villains, but ikemen. The premise is Yuu (that's like the place holder name for you 🫵🏻 the player, you can obviously name urself whateves) are not a magic user, you're not even from this place, but somehow you've been summoned by the dark mirror and ended up in Twisted Wonderland, specifically Night Raven College. Currently the story is broken down into books and we navigate school life while also dealing with an issue of students (the villains) overblotting. Which they used too much magic and their emotions have tainted them.
Night Raven College is an all boys school of arcane arts (magic) and is divided into dorms that represents the The Great Seven (since these are "twisted" versions, the villains are seemed as benevolent). Each dorm has a house warden and a vice warden, usually the house warden is the one who is the specific iteration of a villain. Each student has a special spell that is unique to them as well!
Heartslabyul - this dorm embodies the Red Queen's strictness
Riddle Rosehearts - house warden and like the Red Queen, has a penchant for following the rules. His signature spell of Off With Your Head.
Trey Clover - based off a club card soldier, he's very mild mannered and a Riddle's childhood friend. His spell is Paint the Roses.
Cater Diamond - a diamond card, he's ur social media jargon magicam posting buddy. His spell is Split Card
Ace Trappola - he's one of your two main besties. He's the Yosuke to your Souji, Ryuji to your Akira. His spell is currently unknown
Deuce Spade - your other bestie and the more meat head of the two but a good egg (his mom is also soft butch and hot awooga) his sig spell is Double Down!
Savanaclaw - students here are representative of The King of Beast's Tenacity
Leona Kingscholar - Prideful and a little arrogant, he is easily jealous. He is snarky and a bit of a slacker (like any good cat tbh) His signature spell is King's Roar
Reggie Bucchi - a hyena beastman and the vice warden. He's a little impish and a trickster. His spell is Laugh With Me
Jack Howl - a wolf beastman who is very earnest and adheres to the hierarchy but not so much that his sense of justice goes to the wayside. His spell is Unleash Beast
Octavinelle - a dorm founded on the compassion of The Sea Witch
Azul Ashengrotto - the iteration of Ursula, he's intelligent and knows every loophole, a little Saul Goodman to be had in Azul. He's also rather fond of making money. His signature spell is It's a Deal.
Jade Leech - vice warden and a eel merman (Jetsam). He is has the disposition of a butler...but watch out, he's just as intimidating as his brother. His spell is Shock The Heart
Floyd Leech - the overtly chaotic mirror twin of Jade. He loses interest in things quick but easily excitable if something catches his eye, big ADHD energy. His spell is Bind the Heart
Scarabia - a dorm founded on The Sorcerer of the Sand's Mindfulness
Kalim Al-Asim - house warden who is not actually supposed to be a student, but his father bought him in with a large donation to the school. Kalim was insistent to attend when Jamil was accepted. He's unbearily positive and kind to the point of toxicity. His unique magic is Oasis Maker
Jamil Viper - is the better student and mage, but is Kalim's attendant, it would be "inappropriate" for him to be housewarden. He is calculating, careful, and aloof. His spell is Snake Whisperer.
Pomefiore - founded on The Fair Queen's tenacity.
Vil Schoenheit - the fairest of them all, he's an actor that people love as much as one loves an idol. He's beautiful and can be a little snotty, but he's kind when it's needed. His unique magic is Fairest One of All
Rook Hunt - based on the huntsman from Snow White he's an eccentric individual and French™. His ultimate desire is to find all different kinds of beauty. His spell is I See You
Epel Felmier - like his name, he is the poison apple. Epel is at odds with his fair appearance and what he views masculinity to be. He's a country boy and has a thick accent, but Vil encourages him to hide it. His spell is Sleep Kiss
Ignihyde - founded on the King of the Underworld's diligence
Idia Shroud - the arrogant but self deprecating weeb version of Hades. Idia is your typical gamer/anime trope character. He has a desire to be free and more outgoing but usually caves in on himself. His unique magic is Gate to the Underworld
Ortho Shroud - the humanoid younger brother of Idia. He's cute, charming, and polite and always trying to get Idia to come out of his shell. As it stands he has no signature spell.
Diasomnia - founded on the Thorn Fairy's spirit of nobility.
Malleus Draconia - the iteration of Maleficint. Because he's a fae he essentially has time blindness and is usually late or not at a housewarden meeting. There's a loneliness to Malleus because other students are so intimidated by him. His prize possession is a tamagotchi like toy. His spell is Fae of Maleficent
Lilia Vanrouge - old man in a cute guy's body trope. He's plucky and full of wisdom that belies his youthful looks. It said he is the iteration of Maleficint in her dragon form. His unique magic is Far Cry Cradle
Silver - a second year and bodyguard of Malleus who falls asleep at the drop of a hat and is beloved by animals. He was raised by Lila who found him in the woods. His special spell is Meet in a Dream
Sebek Zigvolt - the other bodyguard and an overzealous loudmouth (my stupid son). He is single minded (Malleus) and refuses to engage with anyone unless it's to berate them for not giving Malleus the proper respect. He tends to call the students around them humans (derogatory) despite being half-human himself. His father is a dentist and his mother, a fae, helps out. She's a tooth fairy lol. His special spell is Living Bolt
I love it, despite the fact it IS a gacha game as well as a vn, and never ever spend actual money on the damn thing their pity is a joke lol. It's better to just save your gems and keys for your favorites and call it good (I save for Sebek, Floyd, and Rook). You take lessons to level up your cards, exams to earn books to raise the card's spells, play twist tunes, and once you're in Idia's book, some retro game style mini games. There's also a little guest room at your dorm, Ramshackle, that you can invite a character to and design the room as you see fit!

One night as he was coming home from his job, he was suddenly thrust into an ominous storm as he passed by a memorial dedicated to the Honnoji-incident. Minutes later, he finds himself fighting off a group of samurai, saving the legendary Yukimura Sanada. Alongside Sasuke, another spontaneous time traveler who was thrown into the Past, he follows the risky strategy of becoming Yukimura's bodyguard in order to survive Sengoku Era Japan until they can make it safely back home.
   As time passes, the friendship between Thai and Yukimura grows, Thai soon finds himself falling madly in love with the Peerless Warrior. However, he wrestles with the implications of revealing the truth to Yukimura, fearing the ever-well-known consequences of rejection and pain. With the looming threats of both rejection and ruining another relationship, Thai resolves to stay by his side as his faithful bodyguard. However, when things take a turn for the worse, will he find the strength to reveal his feelings? Or, will he forever be lost to the shining moon that once lit hope inside his heart?

Omg while I was in the bathroom I suddenly came up with this scenario for IkePri: what if the princes had a little sister who’s like Epel Felmier from Twisted Wonderland. Like she’s super pretty and ethereal but she’s a real country girl and then Yves and Sariel pull a Vil and try to teach her etiquette and other Royal shit and she just HATES it, but goes with it because rridnisndin
So my brain kept coming up with scenarios until I ended up drawing her
Tumblr media
I… my brain goes a little too far sometimes
But what do y’all think? An Epel Felmier in Ikepri- I’m still wondering what her name would be tho. I’d frickin write fanfics about this rindisjox it’s such a funny thought

Long Live the Queen
“A special spell”, as @panacea-wishes would say, but this time for the Sorceress herself!
***Warning: Mild chapter 5 spoilers!***
Imagine this...
Tumblr media
Any affair hosted by Pomefiore was sure to be an opulent one—but today, the dormitory was decked out even moreso than usual. Decorations dripping with gold, tablecloths of shimmering silk, gourmet catering, a private orchestra, and immaculate outfits for each attendee... No expense was spared for the special occasion.
You were but one face in that shining sea, dressed in your finest garb—the only outsider invited to join the festivities. To your left and to your right, strangers in long robes and ties drifted about. They moved so fluidly, cutting across the polished floor like swans upon a lake of glass.
You shifted your feet uncomfortably, feeling a bit out of place in such a glamorous space. You took an anxious sip from your flute of sparkling apple juice. Bubbles danced up and tickled your nose as the beverage went down.
“Did you hear?” a nearby mob student said—not to you, but to a few of his friends. “Schoenheit-sama will be interning with Potions & Lotions, that famous skincare company from the Land of Pyroxene.”
“I heard, I heard! He’s going to be working with their prestigious Research and Development deparment, isn’t he? His proficiency in magical pharmecuticals will serve him well there.”
“Amazing, as expected of Schoenheit-sama! He makes me proud to be a student of Pomefiore!”
You took another swig of your apple juice, trying to avoid eavesdropping. But your curiousity got the better of you, and the mob students’ words floated over yet again.
“What of Hunt-senpai?”
“I heard he will be interning at a detective agency in Pyroxene’s capitol! He was scouted by the police chief himself for his eye for detail.”
“Wow... I hope we’re able to get fancy internship offers like that when our fourth year arrives.”
That’s right. People are moving on. Growing up. Advancing in the world.
Good for them.
You took a third sip—this time, the juice was somewhat bittersweet. Your eyes flitted about, seeking a familiar face, not gossip, to latch onto. Luckily for you, you did not have to search for very long.
“Your attention, please.” A clear, commanding voice announced—and at once, the orchestra silenced. All heads, including yours, turned to the peacock throne at the head of the room.
There stood Vil, in all of his beauty. Today, he wore a form-fitting suit, woven in the colors of green, blue, and violet—the colors of a peacock. His golden hair was up, held in place by a jeweled pin with feathers that jutted out. Vil’s eye makeup mimicked the colors of his suit, cool hues flaring out and making him seem even more bold and imposing than before.
He nodded in satisfaction at those in attendance. “Thank you for being here for the ascension ceremony this evening. As you all know, I will soon be departing to complete an internship—as will your vice-dorm leader, Rook. Therefore, the time has come to crown a new queen for Pomefiore. He will be responsible for selecting a new vice-dorm leader... as well as leading you potatoes to greater heights.”
A mob student before you started to clap. Then a few others joined in.
You wondered if you should set down your class and join in the applause, but Vil was quick to bring a hand up. The beginnings of clapping ceased.
“Hold your applause for your new dorm leader,” he insisted. Vil raised his voice. “Epel Felmier.”
“Yes.”
You swallowed hard at the mention of his name, at the swell of his soft voice.
He stepped up from the crowd, which parted to make way for him. Epel had grown several centimeters in the past few years, now only a bit shorter than Vil. He maintained the delicate beauty he had held in his time as a first year, those wispy lavender locks, long lashes, and full lips. But his eyes—they had sharpened into sapphires circled with makeup moonlight, and he walked with a newfound confidence.
Pomefiore’s dorm leader uniform fitted his new form well. Flowing cloth cascaded over his long arms and legs, and formed a train of fabric wherever he walked. Click, click, went his boots, the cords that bound his waist falling in time with his steps.
All that he was missing was the coveted crown.
“Vil-senpai.” Epel stopped before his dorm leader—soon to be ex-dorm leader—and knelt.
“I am entrusting you with the safety and the security of Pomefiore’s students—and the dorm’s future,” Vil declared, chin raised. “Are you prepared to take on the responsibilites of a dorm leader?”
“I am,” Epel replied with quiet conviction. “I swear...!! I will lead Pomefiore to greatness, just as you and Rook-senpai have before me.”
“Hmph. Don’t let me down, then.” Vil smirked before turning and calling out, “the crown.”
Rook, in a violet suit and crimson bowtie, approached with a plush cushion—and upon it, an intricate crown. The same crown Vil had once worn himself, wrought of gold. A sword piercing a heart as the centerpiece.
The huntsman kneeled, bowing his head and holding out the cushion to his queen. He didn’t need to look to know that Vil had nodded to him before plucking the accessory up.
“With this crown, I pass the torch to you. With this crown, you are Queen undisputed.” Vil recited, raising the glittering diadem over Epel’s head. He brought it down upon the boy’s hair. Gold dug into lilac locks, finding a new home nestled on his head. “You may now rise.”
Epel slowly stood—his back to the crowd, to you. He lifted his head and looked Vil right in the eyes.
Sapphire and amethyst colliding.
“May you carry on the unrelenting efforts of the Beautiful Queen in my place.” Vil took his junior by the shoulders and spun him around. “Pomefiore—your new dorm leader, Epel Felmier.”
The crowd erupted into applause and whistles, cheers and elated well wishes. You, too, were swept up in the frenzy. What little remained of your sparkling apple juice had been set aside in favor of clapping.
Clapping, clapping—one palm hitting the other in rapid succession. Hard, loud. Until your hands were red and swollen and raw.
Raising a dainty hand, Epel waved back.
Tumblr media
“... Hey.”
You jumped at the familiar voice that greeted you as you picked up a new flute of apple juice. You dared to look—and there was Epel, in his full, regal dorm leader regalia. Crown and all.
“O-Oh... Hey!!” you stammered, trying to play off your nerves (and failing). “Nice party, huh? Thanks for inviting me as your plus one... I don’t think I’d ever be invited to a shindig as fancy as this one if it weren’t for you.”
Epel offered a gentle smile. “I wanted you to be here. I should be the one thanking you for coming.”
“Of course I’d come. I wouldn’t want to miss your big coronation,” you reached out to give him a playful shove on the arm—but paused midway and let your arm fall. It wouldn’t be appropriate to act so casual with a dorm leader, you scolded yourself.
“You’re all grown up now, Epel,” you whispered, clutching a hand to your chest. “Congratulations, Mr. Pomefiore dorm leader.”
“Ah, well...” Epel rested a hand on the back of his neck. “It’s a new title, but... I like to think that I’m still ‘just Epel’, the Pomefiore student. I’ll always be that farm boy that tried to pick a fight with Vil-senpai—Great Seven knows how many times.”
“Don’t sell yourself short. You’ve come a long way since your first year. Especially during VDC—you shone really brightly on that stage.”
“That’s true, but I’ve still got a long way to go. Vil-senpai helped me to realize that.” Epel glanced to the surrounding Pomefiore students. Eating, chatting, laughing. “I just hope I can live up to the legacy he left behind. It’s some pretty big shoes to fill in.”
“You’ll do just fine. You always do,” you reassured him with a pat on the shoulder—before quickly jerking your hand back.
Too familiar, too causal.
Epel raised an eyebrow. “Is... Is something the matter? You’ve been a little jittery all evening.”
“I...” Your voice trailed off as soon as you gazed into his curious blue eyes. Like the ocean, welling up with sincerity. You couldn’t lie to him—you just couldn’t. “I’m just worried that we’ll grow apart now that you’re a dorm leader.”
“Why would you think that?”
“Because!” You gestured vaguely to the celebration. “A dorm leader has more important things to do than hanging out with people like me. You have students to lead, events to plan. I... I think I’d only get in the way of your progress.”
“... Don’t say that,” Epel pleaded, suddenly grasping your hands. “Please, please don’t say that.”
You stared at the contact—where his hands met yours. “I... I don’t understand...”
“I couldn’t have made it this far without your support, either. You picked me up when I was down, and you cheered me on when I was at my lowest and about to quit.” Epel’s delicate featured hardened—from glass to diamond. “So don’t ever say those awful things about yourself.”
“But... You’ve made it so far, and I’m still—“
“A farmer never forgets his roots,” Epel said mysteriously, a finger taped to his lips, “and it’s not just me. We all flower one day. You may just be a late bloomer—but when you finally do bloom... I bet you’ll be the prettiest apple blossom in the whole orchard.”
Your cheeks flamed. He laughed, giving your hand a squeeze, and pulling you close to him. You fell against his chest—sturdy and secure and warm—and glanced up at him in shock.
“What are you...”
“Dance with me,” Epel suggested with a light-hearted smile, “and I’ll show you that you’re worthy of this queen.”
The orchestra had started up again, the strings to a new song flowing like water. Turn, twirl, dip, went the pairs on the dance floor, in time with the music. All of this, set in golden lamplight.
Outside, the sky was a dark blue, the starlight reflected in his sapphire eyes. And here he was, offering his outstretched hand to you.
He was still the same sweet, loyal Epel you had always known. The same young man that set your heart aflutter, whether he was soft-spoken or brash. He was both—just as he was both a dorm leader and your beloved.
You melted, and your hesitation dissipated like the winter snow.
You slipped your hand into his and beamed. “Long live the Queen.”
