A maid... Technically

Kalim Al-Asim x GN!Reader

Tw: using others, golddigger, abusing one's status, status difference, obsession?

Povtober 2023, Day 19 [Masterlist]

How fortunate of you, truly.

Yes, you were a maid. A personal one at that, assigned to the heir of the Asim Household.

But why technically? Oh, it's easy.

It's cause your young master never let you do anything that a servant was supposed to do.

He instead opted to drown you in expensive silks, and eyeing you in each one of them.

You look fabulous, you would often hear him say, as he sends your colleagues for more dresses and jewels.

It could be frustrating at first, but then you started to realize that your master wasn't requiring you to work anymore.

All those snarky remarks of jealous maids, who dreamed about your treatment and place at the young masters side, became much more bearable.

You know you shouldn't take pleasure in this, as your place was still being a mere maid. And even then, you couldn't help it, countless riches luring you in relentlessly.

You finally decided to try, how far could you go. Knowing that the one you serve visibly favored you, which made his family look at you more favorably. Oh, do I sense jealousy?

With being a favored one and with Kalim being a sunshine overall, you surprisingly got away with a lot of things, even those you would never have thought you would.

And that's how you found yourself being less of a maid and more of an exhibit, set for all to see.

You never truly realised how the lines between the Master and Servant became blurry, and later on nonexistent.

Since Kalim seemed so attached to you it would be cruel of his father to strip him of your company, wouldn't it?

That's also the exact reason as to why you were bought. Kalims desires towards you and his fathers weak resolve towards his eldest, ended sadly or not for you.

Soon you found yourself at the altar in one of the most expensive dresses you've ever heard of, in front of your Groom.

And that's how from a maid you raised towards being a member of the Asim family, looking down upon others.

You had the luck that your husband loved dressing you up in expensive silks, as you never had to care about anything else. Forever.

The price for it, you say? Being a perfect doll by his side, always there for him and his whims. A small price if you ask the Vipers.

Ugh, it's again centered mostly about the reader and not Kalim, and also, It's too little obsession? I'll have to definitely change it in the future chapters, making it more dark.

Kalim’s Desperation & Brokenness

I don’t think people understand how traumatized & broken Kalim is.

“What’re you talking about? Isn’t he the most sunshine-filled characters in Twisted Wonderland?” I hear you ask.

Let me explain.

While Kalim isn’t a prince, he still comes from a long line of influential and powerful merchants that have family members connected to the royal family of the Scalding Sands. He’s the eldest child and the heir to the family business that he will take over once his father retires. Because of his claim, many assassination attempts have been made on his life. From jealous extended family members to rival merchants. He’s 17 years old and he’s developed the ability to identify poisons. That’s not normal. That’s not something a normal teenager has to worry about or needs to develop. He’s been poisoned enough times that he eventually began to question everything he’s been given to eat except for the food and drinks that were prepared by Jamil. Because he trusts him that much. Did anyone stop & think about the fact that Kalim grew up thinking the next meal could be his last? That he grew up not wanting to eat anything regardless of who made it until Jamil started to cook for him? That’s legitimate PTSD he has that just gets glossed over.

Also because he is the number one target of his family’s rivals and jealous family members, he never got to make legitimate friends aside from Jamil. Jamil was his first and only boy in his age group not connected by blood that he was able to socialize with and hang out with. Jamil got to go to a normal school while Kalim had to be tutored away from the other kids. Jamil got to enjoy festivals among the crowds without the worry of being kidnapped, while Kalim had to attend the family gatherings / business meetings first before he was allowed to go celebrate with the others. Even then he was under constant supervision. It wasn’t until he started attending NRC that he started to make friends in his own age group outside of his family home. That’s depressing as fuck. So of course he’s going to try to get people around him to enjoy themselves and be happy. There’s a desperation in his happiness that doesn’t get pointed out by others but he’s not a robot that only knows joy. He’s not dumb. He knows that the world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. He’s been the target of several assassination attempts and he flat out says that Jamil could’ve killed him at any point in his 17 years of life. He trusted him with his life on a daily basis, if anyone had the chance to kill him it’d be Jamil. But Jamil didn’t kill him, he wanted to be free of the caste system that bounded them as Master-Servant.

Kalim has been able to bluntly point out to people their concerns and their thoughts about people / topics. Although he’s oblivious to some social situations, that doesn’t mean he’s not adept at reading social cues. Especially since he was one of the first to realize that Vil was starting to act like Jamil before he overblot.

The students at NRC don’t see him as being selfish and uncaring, quite the opposite. A lot of the dormmates see Kalim as almost a brother-like figure and they’re all willing to let Jamil have a second chance at being Vice Warden after he reverted back to normal because Kalim asked them to give him a chance. In terms of the main cast, he’s fun to be around and he’s very sweet. But they’re not afraid to tell him “no” just because he’s from a prestigious family. That’s something I believe he’s been craving more than his freedom from his own house.

I believe that Kalim is partially inspired by Jasmine as well because Jasmine’s entire thing was getting freedom to do what she wanted and fall in love with who she wanted. Because if you really think about it...Kalim might be forced into an arranged marriage and that means that Kalim might not even have the chance to fall in love with who he wants.

He has a lot of development he still needs to do. But I believe his time at NRC is beneficial to that growth. Hopefully this post kind of helped flesh out this whole perspective of him.

Jamil's dream

Jamil's heaven be like:

[marrondrawsalot]

New idea for Aqila evil arc, swooning her knight to joining her.

Btw I am debating Kalim or Jasir. But either way. Think about it.

One of them, dancing with Aqila on the railings of a building, with a red light following them as they dance. While also dangling on to the edge, this is her trick. They fell for her wits. They fallen into her power, they will join her.

And either boy, is a flustering mess by the time they come to senses and realized they joined. Everyone is in red or black. Kalim hair is dyed black (don’t ask by Aqila thought he would look hotter if he had dark hair and she almost crushed him.)

Same energy as:

Aqila: hey.

Jasir/Kalim: what?

Aqila: join my emo band.

In which Human-Grim has to take care of our NRC-Boys-As-Animals, and has a time of it. This was a lot of fun to do, a lot of the characters already had animal motifs, others where very hard to come up with an animal equivalent. Still not particularly happy with some of my choices, but c’est la vie. Also been a hot minute since I've spent this long on a drawing. Twisted Wonderland has me in an absolute vice grip, consumes most of my waking thoughts, clears my skin, waters my crops ... I'm tired and starting to not make sense. I shall end my inane ramblings here.
