#leovil slipped in there

[rolloollor]

Is it ok to ask a bit more of your loved ships in bio. I'd like to see what you say about Idoazu Jack/Leovil

Sure! I'm always down to ramble.

idoazu

This was my main ship before mallerollo popped up. Naturally, I have the most to say about them.

I started to love idoazu when I got to Azul's overblot. I assumed Jade and Floyd would fuck off when Azul was in trouble, but they stayed! I was like, "Oh my god, they love him..." or at least care about him. I was legitimately moved since I was sure they'd dip. I've read people comment on their relationship and that it's purely transactional. That the second Azul falters, the tweels will give him the boot or eat him alive or whatever. Certainly Azul seems to believe this. They say something similar to Jamil in book 4, but it's important to remember that characters can lie and they can lie to themselves. They had a chance to drop him with the overblot and they didn't. Actions speak louder than words, right, so I think it's more likely that they believe it's only transactional, but they do genuinely like each other.

Though this like doesn't mean that the tweels treat Azul all that nice... they fucked up his restaurant during book 6 for funsies. Jade is a huge weirdo and I bet he loves seeing Azul frustrated or pissed off. I love Jade so much... I'm not as big on Floyd, but he can be surprisingly normal when he wants to be. It is nice that Azul has been able to have events with both of his boyfriends and even one with Idia without the eels if you're into that.

I like how close they are and I like how they respect each other. They all know each other's strengths and they've been together for a while. To go on this go-on-land venture together I think is significant. The tweels were the first to 'support' Azul, even if it was mainly to have fun, and I'm sure Azul does feel a bit of fondness for them, even if he says it's all business. I also like how Azul is a bit afraid of them, but he knows them well enough to be able to make his schemes appealing to them. There's this ever-present atmosphere of danger. Both eels love to eat octopus, after all. They're predators and Azul has this balancing act he had to perform, but even if he slipped and they usurped his position, I think they'd keep him around anyway. Floyd uses Azul's name, after all, so he's on the same level as Jade.

I'm not that interested in tweelcest, though. I never got the appeal of twincest. They look the same... I like when there's some kind of contrast.

leovil

The main thing that jumps out at me is how well they know each other and how they respect the other. Leona picked Vil for his Tamashina event and Playful Land showed more of the way they understand each other. They know their weaknesses, too. Their relationship would be complicated and maybe volatile at times, but I think they could make it work if they wanted to. It's probably Leona who'd hold it back. I feel like Vil could encourage him to try harder, but it could easily cross into being really irritating for Leona. Maybe Leona could get Vil to chill out a little bit, who knows. The appeal for me, aside from the visual contrast, is that it's a relationship of equals.

jackvil is just really cute. They're both very driven, and they already jog together in the mornings... it could easily develop from there. There's something just so charming about this giga celebrity getting together with a random guy he knew briefly as a child. It's cute. I think Jack would be good for Vil, too, since he'd be extremely loyal and supportive. He'd also make a good househusband. I don't have as much like 'backing' for this one, it's simple and cute. Plus I'm sure Vil does have a soft spot for him. The story about them making snow stuff together was really charming.

Also I dabbled in rookvil for a while, but it's like... too easy? Like things are established already. The climax of the love story happened already, if you feel me? I also don't like Rook's home screen line from the Ghost Marriage event where he says he's fickle... It worries me. I'm not against the pair, it just doesn't intrigue me, I guess.

Talking About My Favorite Twst Ships/Pairs (Romantic Edition 🍬)

Note: I will be mentioning some spoilers (events specifically) that happened in the japanese version of twst, so if you play the english version I’m just warning you ahead of time

Note no.2: This will be arranged from top 3 to top 1 with some honorable mentions (there might be multiple ships in one rank because I’m indecisive), if you’re going to shit on me because of my ship preferences i suggest you to stop reading this and take a moment of self reflection since you don’t know how to respect ones opinion 🙂

𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒖𝒔 𝒃𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒏~

𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟑

SilKali 

- I absolutely adore SilKali in both a platonic and romantic sense like it just pulls on my heartstrings on how cute this ship is, I just overall love their dynamic as well, especially since it was mentioned in the game that they have this “irritating” air (not really the exact words but irritating is there) to them because of how different they are and I love that and their fluff fics OMG THEIR FLUFF FICS MAKES ME WANNA GO ON A RAMPAGE DUE TO HOW CUTE IT IS. Art is just *chef’s kiss mwah mwah*.

𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟐

ADeuce or DeuAce (I’m fine with both ways)

- A classic yes I know, but I love that classic so shush. This has always been in my tops ships ever since I started twst and I think it will stay there for a long time, I also love how funny their fics are like that shit makes me cackle so hard. I don’t see their art often but when I do it’s fairy gala/ghost marriage ace and stargazer deuce which is just 💘.

JamiKali or KaliJami (fine with both)

- I just love their dynamic as a whole, that’s all. And the fics and art as well, like it can from fluffy to just straight up sad and I’m here for it. The art hits different most of the time but I love it.

𝑩𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑰 𝒈𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝟏 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔

FloRid 

- kind of overrated but still a good one nonetheless, the fanart and fics are good too so ima take it.

LeoVil

- this is more of a meh to me but honestly YA’LL’S FICS ARE SO GOOD TF LIKE IM GOBBLING THAT SHIT UP IT’S LONG AND WELL WRITTEN TOO LIKE YA’LL GET THE BEST FOOD OUT THERE

MalLeo

- now listen, i used to ship this as a joke, but im starting to think that it’s not a joke anymore send help (i blame the fanart)

𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟏 (𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫)

.

SilSebe or SebeSil (hmu if you like them too) - YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH FLAVOR THIS SHIP HAS THE MORE YOU LOOK INTO IT. Like my first thought about them was like “oh hey they look cute” UNTIL I GOT TWITTER WHICH MADE THEM SKYROCKET TO TOP 1. Just think with me guys, their characters and overall relationship (so far in canon) is really interesting, cuz those two would fight each other, yet they can be so in sync as well (if you look into their characters more, you would realize how it’s so in your face, even in the merch) it’s either they counter each other or it’s the same, no in between(soulmate behavior). LIKE IN THE NEW YEARS EVENT WHERE SILVER FELL ASLEEP ON SEBEK AND SEBEK STARTED YELLING ON HOW HE WOULD DITCH HIM YET DIDN’T MOVE (oh you tsundere man ily) AND DON’T GET ME STARTED WITH VARGAS CAMP WHERE SILVER SMILED AT SEBEK AND SEBEK WAS LIKE “ WHY ARE YOU SMILING AT ME SILVER” LIKE AAAAAAAAAAAAA their relationship is so rocky where it interests me on what will happen to them in the future, like what will be the changes and all that. I would absolutely rant more but I would do it in a different post (if ya’ll like that). They also fit so many ship tropes too like childhood friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, soulmates, opposites attract LIKE OMG IT’S LIKE THEY’RE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER. And don’t get me started with the fanart, I ASKED FOR FLUFF AND YA’LL SLIPPED IN A SIDE OF ANGST I SEE YA’LL, but i still gobble it either way nom nom. Their fic and arts might be rare and hard to find, but once i find it, i will cherish it forever, it’s like a treasure hunt.

MalleKei (once again hmu if you like them too)

- I will be honest with ya’ll I didn’t know this ship existed until I stepped into Twitter and fell in the hole. IT’S SO GOOD LIKE MMMMM I LOVE BOOMER FAIRY AND HIS INSTAGRAM FAMOUS BF. Malleus deserves a friend, and it has to be the extroverted, will literally post his entire life in the internet Cater. THEY’RE SO FLUFFY IT HURTS ME BUT IT ALSO CLEANSES MY SOUL. Absolutely loved the Scalding Sands event, got some food, especially the mallekei fanartists went crazy with their art (which i love and cheirsh every time i see it). There’s this thing I keep seeing where they draw art or write fics of mallekei post canon which is just 💘💘💘💘💘, THEY’RE THE EPITOME OF DOMESTIC AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Ok now fluff aside they will also feed me angst out of absolutely nowhwere which i will cry to, and gobble up obviously. 

If you’ve noticed, both of my top 1 ships have something in common, that trope where one of them is eventually gonna outlive the other and they’ll end up sad BUT DON’T WORRY THEY’LL REINCARNATE AND EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY.

Now you’ve reached the end thank you so much for reading 🙇‍♀️ If you want more you can follow me, if you want me to make a post about fics I would recommend about these ships then I’ll do so if people want it. A platonic edition will also be coming soon, hopefully you’ll be excited to see it. Once again Thank You!

@aristarchos​ said:  exhausted parents kiss // leovil

( A VERY DELAYED RESPONSE TO A MEME FROM SO, SO LONG AGO )

   Vil  practically  collapsed  on  top  of  Leona  as  he  finally  slipped  into  their  bedroom.  He  still  needed  to  get  undressed  and  take  off  his  makeup.  But  for  a  few  moments  he  just  wanted  to  recharge  by  laying  against  his  husband’s  chest  with  his  eyes  closed.  “  Astra  and  Luca  are  finally  fast  asleep.  I  made  sure  to  stay  in  there  with  both  for  a  little  while  to  make  sure  they  wouldn’t  wake  back  up.  “  Nothing  was  worse  than  thinking  they  were  asleep  only  for  them  to  be  up  five  minutes  later.  They’d  both  learned  that  the  hard  way.

   He  lets  out  an  exhausted  sigh.  Some  days  were  brutal.  He  loved  their  kids  fiercely  ,  but  coming  home  from  rehearsal  or  modeling  when  they  decided  to  be  terrors  could  be  hard.  Yet  he  wouldn’t  change  it  for  the  world.  They  were  good  kids  and  he  was  proud  of  them.  He  was  proud  of  Leona  too  for  being  such  a  great  father.

   Wysteria  eyes  open  again  to  glance  up  at  Leona’s  face  with  a  soft  warmth  in  them.  His  muscles  protested  but  he  pushed  himself  up  to  scoot  up  so  he  could  hover  over  Leona  with  a  smile.  He  didn’t  say  anything.  He  just  bent  down  and  pressed  a  soft  ,  tired  ,  but  loving  kiss  to  the  lion’s  lips.

   “  I  love  you.  “  He  murmurs  softly  ,  lingering  close  as  he  raises  a  hand  to  gently  brush  away  some  of  Leona’s  hair  from  his  face.  “  Thanks  for  taking  the  day  to  watch  them.  It  meant  a  lot.  “  He  leans  down  ,  pressing  a  few  more  soft  kisses  against  Leona’s  lips  before  he  sinks  back  down  to  laying  his  head  on  Leona’s  chest.

   It’s  a  comfortable  ,  blissful  quiet  that’s  settled  over  the  house.  It’s  only  broken  when  Vil  gives  a  soft  ,  tired  laugh.  “  I  almost  feel  like  how  you  used  to  act  at  NRC.  Getting  up  to  change  seems  like  so  much  effort.  “  He  teases  ,  grinning  against  his  chest.  Though  unlike  Leona  ,  he  still  very  much  would.  If  merely  for  his  skincare  routine,

— I will be writing reader inserts for this blog for the most part (though I may or may not slip in some leovil or oc stuff hehe)

— I have the right to turn down a request if it makes me uncomfortable. Please respect my boundaries.

— Please keep in mind: If you’ve sent the same request to a different writing blog, don’t send it here because I am well aware that some blogs don’t like that. Unless the other blog is okay with that sort of thing, please refrain from doing that.

— You’re 100% free to just jump in my inbox and start a conversation even if it’s not a request.

— Sorry if I’m not able to get to your request immediately. Sometimes I just have trouble finding inspiration or motivation but I’ll try to get to them as soon as possible.

— When requesting, please have a general idea or topic in mind. It’ll take longer for me if requests are vague like “sebek fluff hcs” because I need to figure out what to even write. Stuff like “Hey Mika, can I please have headcanons where the dorm leaders find out that their s/o is secretly a superhero in another world?” or “Can I get an apocalypse au scenario where Vil has been bitten and needs his s/o to help him, either to survive or to kill him off before he turns?” are perfect for requests.

— Reader inserts will usually be gender neutral so anyone can read them.

𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 𝙄 𝘾𝘼𝙉 𝙒𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙀

— scenarios and headcanons are allowed to ask for but this blog will also specialise in creating magicam texts or posts like these

— For headcanons: I will allow three characters for each headcanons request. The only exception will be for dorm leaders or vice dorm leaders.

— For scenarios: I can only allow one character per request.

— yandere is also allowed but nothing too gorey.

𝙋𝙍𝙊𝙃𝙄𝘽𝙄𝙏𝙀𝘿

— I know I said yandere is allowed but please don’t romanticise it. I usually try to frame yandere writings as psychological horror, not romance.

— NSFW

— ortho/cheka will only be in platonic/familial type of works.

— inc*st/rac*sm/generally bad stuff

— overly specific reader requests. One or two qualities are fine but if you get too specific, then it wouldn’t really be counted as a reader insert, now would it?

LeoVil but its a typical family AU

(Epel and Jack are the little three year-olds)

---

Jack prefers Mama Vil over Papa Leona because Vil pays attention while Leona takes many naps

Epel prefers Papa Leona over Mama Vil because Vil fusses too much over them (and also because he can take a nap on Leona)

Jack and Epel quarrel a lot (fistfights)

this:

Epel: He started it!

Jack: He called me dummy!

Leona: I DON'T CARE WHO STARTED IT.

Vil: YOU TWO STAY IN YOUR TIMEOUT CORNERS.

Leona: And no bedtime story tonight.

Vil: No cookies too.

Epel and Jack: :(

Leona and Vil in their bedroom but they quietly argue which daycare the kids go to

Once, the kids played with Vil's beauty products and spilled the nail polish in his Hermes bag by mistake. They both knew they were screwed so they asked Leona for help. His only answer: "Apologize to your mother and hope he does not disown you at the streets." Jack started crying, then Epel started crying, so now, Leona has to deal with his two tots and maybe a demonic husband in the afternoon as soon as he gets back from the salon. He has to send Ruggie to buy the exact same one. It did not tide over well because Vil found out and promptly punished their two boys by grounding them and making them do the chores for two weeks.

Leona freaked out when he saw Epel carving an apple with the big kitchen knife and made him stick with a plastic knife.

Epel: It doesn't work!

Leona: It does.You're not trying hard enough.

Vil helps them make pillow fortresses and uses little rubber balls as ammo when they play 'war'

Leona and Vil have slipped on toys from everywhere so much

Jack refused to speak to Epel for a week because Epel accidentally ripped the arm off his stuffed dinosaur even when Vil sewed it back up

this:

Epel: Mama, Papa, where did you two meet?

Leona and Vil: College.

Jack: Was it love at first sight?

Leona and Vil, internally: Hell no.

During wintertime, if it gets too cold, the kiddies go to their parents' bedroom and just snuggle up with them (Leona and Vil pretend to complain)

The kiddies have failed to find a method that gets them to the snack box at the high shelf in the pantry

If the kiddies are to ever have a nightmare, they don't go to their parents' room, they go to each others' beds and just stay there, comforted already

If the two parents want to get frisky, their safest bet is the bathroom

At car rides, there is a USB filled to the brim with nursery rhymes (and Baby Shark)

Leona: Kids, fasten your seatbelts.

Jack: BABY SHARK!

Vil: Seatbelts first.

Epel: Maaaaa, I want snacks!

Leona: We literally just got in the car-

Vil makes them eat vegetables. The whole family. Yes, Leona too.

If the kids ever want something, like a new toy, they usually tug on Leona's hair until he's completely fed up and buys it for them. Obviously, Vil scolds Leona for spoiling them too much

Vil and the kiddies make treats for Leona when he's either sad or angry and make it look as pretty as possible

The kids got into a lot of trouble for drawing on the walls with permanent markers

this:

Leona: I'm going out, do you need anything in the store?

Vil: BREAD!

Jack: GUMMY BEARS!

Epel: MARSHMALLOWS!

Vil: NO TO THOSE TWO! YOU'LL GET SICK!

Jack and Epel: BUT MAAAAAA!

Uncle Rook and Uncle Ruggie are no strangers to them and often come around. They like Rook for tackling, Ruggie for food and both for playing

Lilia is for babysitting when Leona and Vil go out (even if they beg for their parents to stay)

Epel is the one who tugs on their clothes while Jack hugs their legs to keep them from going while Lilia is just cackling at the corner

summary: goldi and beauty, after the war.

word count: 1,064

---

There came four dull knocks on Goldi’s front door, each after an increasing pause, at ten p.m. one soggy February night.

 The door didn’t have a peephole, so she cracked it open a careful inch to check who it was—

 “Beauty!”

 —before swinging it open all the way.

Beauty’s hair was mussed, flyaway strands drifting around her face in an auburn halo. Her eyeliner ran in a dragging smear to her temple; her lids drooped heavy and dark with crusting mascara.

 “Hello, Goldi,” she said, and her voice was rough.

 “Oh, Beauty,” Goldi breathed, stepping aside to let her in. The words what happened wobbled on the tip of her tongue; she swallowed them back, and instead asked, “Red or white?”

 “Red,” said Beauty heavily, slipping off her heels. “Bordeaux.”

 Goldi padded to the kitchen. Her skin prickled. The silence was terribly loud. Usually Beauty would be nattering about something-or-the-other, a sale she wanted to go to, whatever Natalie had said that day, the weather…the lack of it was unsettling.  

 The only noise was the gentle clink of her necklace.

The bottles in her wine cabinet were arranged by color and year. She perused them distractedly, ears straining for any sound from the foyer, before pulling out the 1995 Leoville-Las-Cases, then a pair of wine stems from the cupboard above.

Beauty was in the living room, settling on the sofa; not with her usual measured elegance, but an aching sort of delicacy, as though her bones were made of porcelain.

 Sitting down next to her, Goldi set out the coasters exactly three inches from the edge of the coffee table and perched the glasses atop them. She poured Beauty’s glass first, plup-plup-plup, until it was half-way full, and then pulled away, meaning to pour her own—

 “More,” said Beauty, suddenly. Goldi bit her lip but did as told, and filled the glass to nearly the brim.

 They sat together for some time. Beauty drank steadily. She did not gulp, but her lovely throat moved in smooth rhythm.

 When finally she set down her glass, it was three-quarters empty, and the wine had tinted her lips dark. She said, “I saw James today.”

 Goldi, who had assumed as much, did not speak.

 “I gave him the papers,” Beauty continued. “I told him I’d signed them already. I t—I asked him to sign them too.” She stared a little blankly into space. “He ri—mmm. He ripped them in half.”

 There was a beat of silence.

 “I’m sorry,” said Goldi quietly.

  “It’s been—years,” Beauty said. “Years.” She looked to Goldi imploringly, as if for confirmation. “I tried, you know. To fix it. I visited him. Every week. Every week. I begged him. Every time. We could have put it all behind us. We could have just—aaugh—”

 And here, her voice cracked, ragged with grief and exhaustion and heartbreak. Half sob, half humorless laugh. Goldi reached out at once, but already Beauty was unraveling.

 “I want it to be over,” Beauty cried, “I want us to be over. I want to move on—”

 The words came as though wrenched from her chest. She was curled against Goldi, but not leaning into her fully. That was the thing about Beauty. Sometimes she could ask for help, but could not bear to accept it.

 Still, Goldi held her close. Tears, mascara-dark, dripped on her necklace, down the front of her shirt, and still, she held her close.

 Eventually, Beauty’s breathing dried, and then evened. There came the contemplative silence that always followed a bout of crying.

 “That necklace,” mumbled Beauty, her cheek pressed to Goldi’s shoulder. “It’s nice.”

 Goldi smiled, minutely. “You gave it to me.”

 “Did I?” Carefully, Beauty untangled herself, and leant back into the sofa. “Yes…I remember. For your birthday. Right?”

 “Yes.”

 “Yes.” Beauty closed her eyes. “I’m sorry, Goldi.”

 “Beauty, please—”

 “No, I am. I’m sorry. I know this is—too much. I know. But I… I don’t know what to do now.” She exhaled unsteadily and raised the glass once more.

 Goldi chewed her lip. An old bad habit. “Did you tell Natalie yet?” she ventured.

 “No,” Beauty admitted, curling her lip; then, quieter, “I don’t know how to do that either.”

 Goldi was struck silent. She looked down at her hands tucked around her wineglass, at the perfectly symmetrical fingernails from the manicure she and Beauty and Natalie had done to last week. She and Beauty had decided on French tips; Natalie had picked a dark blue polish with a glittery topcoat.

 It had taken a long time to get to that—manicures, topcoats, the girl’s nights out the three of them shared. Years after the war, and still there was a carefulness between mother and daughter.

 Perhaps that was to be expected. Natalie had spent the first ten years of her life under Rumpelstiltskin’s thumb, and then the three years afterward under the Scarlet Hand’s. Beauty had been trying, the both of them had, but of course it had been hard. The restoration been delicate—every cautious step in their relationship, every stumbling, awkward gesture of affection, like a renovation of an artwork so buried under tarnish it was impossible to know what it really looked like.

 Goldi had seen it all, been there for it all. And it was because of that she knew how damaging this new development could be.

 “I don’t understand,” Beauty was saying now, slightly recovered. “I don’t understand what he gains from this. Does he…doesn’t he know how much this hurts Nattie? Is that what he wants?”

 Goldi wanted to say—It’s not Nattie he’s trying to hurt, it’s you. But she didn’t.

 Instead she put down her wine and reached out to clasp Beauty’s wrists, still gripping the glass stem.

 “We’ll tell her,” Goldi said, “together. I’ll help you figure out what to say. Tomorrow. All right? Sleep here tonight. I’ll take you back in the morning.”

 Beauty considered this. “…All right.”

 “I’ll go get the guest bedroom ready.”

 “No, wait.” Beauty’s hand closed around Goldi’s wrist, a gentle request. “Stay for a bit.”

 “Beauty—”

 “Goldi.”

 Goldi looked at her, the mussed hair, the heavy lids, the slight, sad quirk of her lips. Princess, beast-tamer, wife, mother, friend. She was all of it and none of it.

 “Stay, won’t you?” murmured Beauty, and Goldi could not refuse her.

LeoVil but its a typical family AU

Part One

turns out I like doing more of these family shenanigans

---

• Vil gets sick and the house is just upturned into chaos

Leona: You two, your mother is sick so behave well so that he'll get better alright?

Epel: Okay.

Jack: (racing to the master bedroom) MOMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Leona: OI GET BACK HERE! DON'T DISTURB HIM!

Poor Vil's prayers are never answered that nothing bad happens while he rests because of his fever. Leona is crap at cooking, so the kids are stuck eating cereal and McDonald's takeout (hey at least they have new toys). The kids are still pretty hyper so while they play, Leona pops into the bedroom to check on Vil (usually asleep). Sadly, it only lasts at the maximum of three minutes because either Epel or Jack wind up hitting each other when there's no parental guidance. When Vil's temperature is finally starting to go down after three days, Epel manages to sneak in the room to pout.

Vil: Epel, your father said you're not supposed to be here until I'm better, remember?

Epel: MommypleasegetbetterImissyourfood.

Vil, alert: What have you been eating?

Epel, crying: I don't want McDonald's anymore!

Vil, internally: Why the hell did I accept that handsome bastard's proposal again.

Vil: Okay, don't cry, don't cry, I'm getting better. But tell your father to come to me when he can, alright?

Epel, sniffling: Okay mommy.

Leona got hit by several pillows for failing to feed the kids healthily once he got there.

• Kiddos hide behind either Leona (the usual) or Vil when they go out because they're still scared of most people. Especially the ones who keep taking pictures of Vil.

• In long car rides, Leona makes a stop so that Vil can go out of the front seat and to the back where their little gremlins kiddos have dozed off.

• Vil finds it funny to just drape a blanket on Leona when he's asleep on the floor and have Epel and Jack just pile on him to wake the lion up.

• Vil showed the two his diadem once and placed it on Epel's head as a joke (it slipped a bit). Jack said he looked like a stupid pink princess and Epel hit him in retaliation while screaming "You try it dummy!" Epel was stuck folding the clothes for the rest of the week for hitting his brother.

• Jack likes running around with Leona's leather vest from college but once it covered his face and he ended up crashing into the dining table. Leona only said, "I told you it's too big for you," before handing Jack a popsicle (and an ice cube) so that he could feel better.

• Epel also likes wriggling in Leona's yellow waistcoat for fun. He ripped it by accident and started crying as he thought that he was going to get bopped on the head. Turns out Leona would not really give a damn about it and reassured Epel.

• While Vil's accessories, makeup, and shoes are easily accessible to the kids, it is a major rule that none of his clothes are to ever be played with after Jack mangled one of his pants with the kitchen scissors while playing.

• For some unfathomable reason, Epel and Jack love drawing on Leona's old textbooks with anything that can be used. That includes the ketchup.

• Both kiddos hate haircuts.

• Guess which one of them thought it would be fun to try and walk with Vil's red stilletos? It was Jack. Epel became collateral damage when Jack fell on him while trying to 'strut like Mommy'.

• There is a whip in the master bedroom, and the kids know too well that if they did a very bad taboo (like going in Vil's closet), they would be whipped.

• Funnily enough, it was Leona (after they first adopted Epel and Jack as year-old-babies) who told Vil that if the kids were old enough, the immediate punishment should be chorework and not the whip.

• There is a swear jar (only Leona pays) and the kids like trying to push his buttons to make him cuss because once it gets filled up, they can do whatever they want with the money.

• Epel got ahold of Vil's work phone and he and Jack ended up downloading Minecraft. Two hours later, they broke it after they fought over who got to play and this time, Leona would not do anything for them even when they cried. Vil has a personal phone in a shelf and the kids got off lightly for once - in his opinion. No food they liked for a month (including chips).

• Sike, Jack found a method to get Leona's chips down from the shelf and got Epel to help. It was to throw a stuff toy at any chip bag they wanted repeatedly until the bag fell. He did not account for the loud sound the bags would let out, under the assumption that both parents were asleep. When they managed to get the big bag of Cheetos they wanted down, opened it up, and were about to dig in, that's when Leona flicked on the kitchen lights.

Leona, annoyed: What were you two thinking?

Jack: Uh....

Leona: You two are grounded for the rest of the month. No TV, no Ipad, and no new toys.

Kids, sobbing: We won't do it again!

Leona: You're grounded, that's that. Now back to your rooms!
