I just had a wonderful idea that made my heart race and my mouth screech with joy. Astarion x Tav one shot where they’re cuddling somewhere near the beginning of their more formal and real relationship, and in a sleepy haze/just waking up, Tav says, “I love you” to astarion. Just him stiffening up and then Tav realizing what they said and being like “oh shit, I didn’t say anything earlier, cause I didn’t want u freak u out. Whoops, now u know I love u unconditionally my love.”

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Ok, I keep seeing Astarion x Tav/reader fanfics where Astarion dreams of Tav getting kidnapped by Cazador and I'm over here like, "...well, where's the fanfic where that actually happens?"

*looks around. crickets*

"No one? Too evil?"

*met with silence*

"Do I gotta do it myself then? Fine, I'll be the bad guy. Geez, I just wanted a more intense hurt/comfort with the boy. He's so sweet."

So, there may be an astarion fanfic coming soon lol. Keep in mind I haven't actually played the game, because my equipment doesn't support it lol. However, I've done my research lol. No promises that it's coming out any time soon, but I'll try lol

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Alright quick update! I haven’t posted anything in awhile and I thought I should give y’all an update while I’m working on all my fanfics and whatnot.

Ok, @eynnwwyjth the response to ur ask is coming! I just take a really long time lol. I got other adult stuff to deal with unfortunately lol, but it’s definitely coming!

Writing Vil is haaaaard. Bro, I’m on a struggle bus regarding his reactions to being insulted and called out to his face. I think I got an idea that might work but please if u got any ideas, send them in, put it in chat. I’m a struggling writer lol

Also, I ended up writing a shorter Vil x reader one shot for somewhat of a character study of Vil. It was inspired by some post I saw that said something regarding Vil’s overblot and that if the party had respected Vil’s wishes (to turn around so they’re not looking at Vil) then this person believed Vil would’ve been able to pull it together and not overblot. Honestly, thought it was plausible and an interesting idea, so I’m also working on that lol. Be excited!!

Hi this is so random but I absolutely loved loved LOVED your neige fanfic

Like you wrote him so incredibly well!

Anyways I'm just curious on your thoughts of a friendship between mc, vil and neige. Do you think Vil could get over his (dare I say hatred or neige) How do you think they could maybe become friends? And lol what friendship trope do you think the three would have?

Feel free not to answer if your uncomfortable

You have no idea how much I squealed when I saw that someone had sent me an ask. I actively flailed my hands around because of my excitement. 

And thank you so much! I–oh– *buries face in hands* geez, I feel like Neige now. I’m on the receiving end of such nice compliments and I’m so grateful. All the comments I’ve received so far have been super sweet and I’m glad that you guys have thoroughly enjoyed my characterization of Neige. I was very intentional about how I wrote him and the whole fic in general. I literally have 21 pages of unused material that I decided to scrap/rewrite… if anybody would be interested in my process of how I characterized Neige (and hopefully the other twisted characters in my future fanfics lol), feel free to ask. I’m more than willing to share! But on to the question!

…oh, wow… huh, what an interesting question. I love it! It makes me have to think.

Ok, in short, I do think Vil could get over his dislike/grudge against Neige and actually become friends with Neige. 

It would have to be after Vil finds out about Neige’s situation. The fact that Vil thought that Neige didn’t work hard at all was instrumental in Vil never befriending Neige before, despite working with him so many times. Upon finding out and understanding his situation though, he’s able to understand that Neige works super hard, just not in the same way that Vil uses his time and energy. 

Now, in terms of Vil actually befriending Neige, I think MC would be a huge asset. MC would most likely be both friends of Vil and Neige separately before the three of them end up hanging out as a trio. I can only see the situation ending up being that MC and Neige were going to hang out with each other when MC drags Vil along, much to Neige’s excitement. Their friendship dynamic would be somewhat of two excited puppies with their exasperated owner. After a while of going out and having a more pleasant time than he expected, Vil would be less resistant to hanging out with the two of them. Perhaps, spoiling them with some gifts, playing it off as extra PR gifts from a brand he collaborates with. I can’t imagine Vil would ever admit it, but he would be fond of their company. Perhaps one day, he would. 

[uniquethingtastemaker]

So, the next fanfic that I'm planning to write is a Vil x Reader fanfic that takes place during chapter 5. This fanfic is fulfilling my desire to put Vil in his place during VDC rehearsals and such. I love Vil, but someone needed to reality check him earlier in the chapter. I also thought wouldn't it be really funny if Vil got closer to and ended up falling for the person who verbally smacked him a little and saw potential in him and decided to help him... I find it hilarious, because it just seems so plausible.

Also be excited for vulnerable, soft Vil, because I'm a whore for vulnerable moments of real connection between romantic interests. It's so good! I'm also excited for the romantic dynamic between the two because I have a feeling that it's going to be a situation where Vil feels like he can completely be himself without restraint around the reader, which is huge.

Be excited! It'll probably be awhile, but quality over quantity I suppose lol.

BTW IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER CANON-ESC IDEAS, I BEG YOU TO SEND ME SOMETHING. I'm a lonely soul lol, but no if you ever read twisted wonderland and wanted the MC to have done something differently tell me. Hit me up. Give me your ideas. I love this kind of fanfic ideas and I intend to create more of it for you all lol

Neige x Reader: White Beaches and a Spring Morning

Summary: The Ramshackle prefect is finally able to get a full week off from school after four overblots. Determined to enjoy their time to the fullest off campus, they set out to explore Sage’s Island, starting with the island’s southern beaches. However, it seems that our prefect can never catch a break, as they find an RSA student crying and upset. Unable to just look away, they set their sights on comforting him and helping him have a good time outside of school.

Word count: just under 3k

Tags: fluff, getting together (not officially though), dates, romance

Warnings: none… unless suave reader is a warning… reader being too hot lol

Author’s notes: this was inspired by a tumblr post by @sorbertisfruity and I loved it so much that I decided to start writing it. Also this is my first time I’m actually writing and posting my creative work, so I just ask that people are kind. Thanks and enjoy!

Leaning forward with the wind whipping through your hair, you fly down the mountain path away from Night Raven College. The engine of the magic wheel roars behind you, as music blasts from the speakers. Finally, you were free! After months of work, you finally got a week off. Of course, you had to blackmail Crowley by threatening to expose the multiple overblots. Nonetheless, he conceded to your requests in the end. Now, you’ve left your worries and Grim temporarily behind in favor of a relaxing day at the beach. 

Pulling up to the sandy shore, you park the magic wheel you’d borrowed from Ignihyde and look out at the sight before you. It was a nice change of scenery compared to the dreary mountain Night Raven College sat atop of. The morning was crisp and clear with the sea breeze wafting from the ocean. The beach was empty. You were here on a weekday after all. You grab your bag from one of the compartments and head off toward the tide.

The sandals on your feet sink slightly into the sand as you search for a more secluded area to place your bag. After walking along the coast, you catch a glimpse of NRC’s rival school, the Royal Sword Academy. It was almost blinding with its tall white spires that were tipped with blue. Overall, the vibe is much brighter than NRC’s gothic horror aesthetic.

“Wonder what their facilities are like,” you murmur to yourself, “Maybe I can secretly get a tour of the school and request a transfer while I’m at it.”

You chuckle at the thought of your friends’ outrageous reactions to your fictional transfer. Just as you finish the thought, you hear a loud sob. Furrowing your brow, you pick up your pace. Even on your day off, you never catch a break, you internally sigh. You blame your upright and well-meaning nature, but you shrug off the thought as you come across an alcove in the rocks. 

You find a boy huddled up against the stone, sobbing to himself. He’s wearing a familiar white uniform jacket, signifying that he’s from the Royal Swords Academy. You’re unable to see his face as he’s tucked it into his knees. Only his ruffled black hair shows. Next to him lies a black beret and the dirt and skid marks on his uniform make it obvious he ran out of the academy. 

Coming closer to the cave-like area, your footsteps are masked by the sound of soft waves lapping against the coast. 

“Hey,” you call out, “Are you alright?”

The boy’s head snaps up. He stumbles to his feet and begins making rapid apologies. His voice has a light, airy quality to it that cracks as he trips over his words. 

“I—I’m fine. Thank you for asking. I—I should probably go. I don’t want to bother you—“ 

He isn’t able to say anything more, as his foot catches on a nearby rock and he begins tumbling forward with a squeak. Moving on instinct, you catch him by the waist, pulling him in to support his weight. Pressed up against him, you note that he has a slim but fairly toned waist. He’s also a bit taller than expected. 

“Are you ok?” You ask, “That was pretty close. It might be a good idea to sit down for a while before moving again. Sorry, I startled you. I was just concerned whenever I heard someone in distress.”

Pulling away slightly, you’re able to get a glimpse of his face. His eyes are the first feature that stands out to you. They’re soft, doe-like, and innocent. His brown eyes are a little puffy and red around the edges from crying, but it doesn’t detract from their soft allure. Your eyes flicker down toward his lips. They’re tinted a natural red, as he chews on them. Suddenly, you become acutely aware of how close the two of you are. You can feel his ragged breath on your cheek, as you take the time to observe him.

He glances down and away from you, tears still in his eyes, as continues to gnaw on his lip. Whether from the anxiety of being caught crying or the flustered embarrassment of being so close, you’re not sure. You suspect it might be both. However, when he turns his cheek, the light catches a glimmer of wet tears that have already streaked down his face. Before you have time to think, you reach your hand up to cup his cheek and wipe it away. 

Blinking, you realize that you just performed a somewhat intimate gesture and you move your hand away. 

“Sorry, I just wanted to help. Did I make you uncomfortable?” You ask.

He stares at you with wide eyes and touches the place where you wiped his tears with his hand.

“…No, I didn’t mind it.” 

His voice breaks, then in a smaller tone, he comments, “It was nice.”

“That’s good,” you chuckle, “My name’s (Y/N), and you?”

He hesitates for a second before replying, “Neige.”

He watches your reaction intently, looking for any signs of recognition, but when there is none, he relaxes slightly. 

“I wouldn’t mind sitting down again,” he tells you. 

He starts to pull away to sit back down when you tighten your grip on his waist, stopping him. 

“Hold on, I have a towel. Let me lay it down first,” you state. 

Rummaging through your bag, you pull out a towel that you stole from Heartslabyul. The print on the fabric is a dead giveaway. It’s littered with multicolored card suits. Spreading it out, you plop down on the fluffy towel and turn to Neige, who comes to sit next to you.

“Again, sorry for scaring you earlier. I just heard you were in distress and wanted to make sure you were ok,” you repeat, inspecting for any physical wounds. “Physically, you seem fine. Are you in emotional distress?”

Playing with the edge of the towel, he glances up at you before looking away. His grip tightens on it and he nods. 

Neige hesitates before saying, “You know, if you have other places to be, you can go do those. You don’t have to stay with me. I’ll be fine–”

Before he can get any further, you cut him off, “Neige, I know we just met, but I’m not going to leave someone who’s upset behind. You seem sweet and I want to get to know you. It would be nice to get a new friend.”

You put a hand on his shoulder to reassure him. He looks up at you with wet eyes and hiccups slightly, trying to hold back newly formed tears. Your eyes go wide and your body moves on autopilot. You open your arms to offer a hug. 

“Hey, do you want a hug? Will that make you feel better?”

Neige hesitates before nodding. Given your cue, you envelop him in a warm, tight hug. Cradling him, you rub small circles on his back and whisper words of comfort. 

He breaks. Any semblance of wariness or guard that he had up before crumbles against your kindness and small persistence. He cries so hard that his whole body shakes against you. You squeeze tighter and you can tell that you are the only thing keeping him together at this moment. He ends up clinging and clawing at you as if you’re his only lifeline in the vast ocean. He sobs harder at your gentle approach to comforting him and a few broken words of gratitude spill from his mouth. 

“—Thank you, thank you so much. I never— I never got this growing up. I always had to put on a cheerful face to not worry my— my family. This means so much to me. Thank you, thank you (Y/N).”

You clutch him tighter, running a hand through his hair, as he sobs into your shoulder. You feel for him. You understand the struggles of having to carry everyone else’s burden even though it shouldn’t be your responsibility in the first place. You ended up solving and resolving each overblot with only some of your classmates and practically no teachers. No responsible adults were around to help fight Riddle, restrain Leona, stop Azul, and punish Jamil. It had been getting exhausting. Thankfully, you got a week to yourself, but this wasn’t about you and you turned your attention back on your new friend, Neige. 

You allow him to get all the tears, sorrow, and pain out of his system. When his sobbing slows down and his breathing starts to even out, you reach into your bag to pull out some tissues, nudging Neige’s face with them. 

Upon feeling the tap, he looks up from where his face was buried in your shoulder. Tears and snot run down his face, and he takes the tissues with a small smile. 

“Thanks,” he breathes, taking the tissue and blowing into it.

After giving him some water, snacks, a lot of tissues, and more cuddles, he’s much more relaxed than he was earlier. His tired eyes are unable to focus on anything specific, as they flutter to stay awake. He continues to lean on you for support.

Chuckling, you ask, “Wanna lay down?”

Letting out an almost incoherent murmur of approval, he clutches onto your clothes, before asking, “Promise you won’t leave?”

You give him a soft smile that he’s unable to see with his eyes closed, and you lay the two of you down on the towel. You rest beside Neige, as he makes himself comfortable, nestling into your arms. 

“Of course, Snow,” you answer, “I’ll make sure to protect you if anything is out to get you.”

He nuzzles into you with a smile filled with sweet dreams, as he drifts off to sleep. After a while of listening to the ocean waves lap against the shore and feeling the slow steady breathing of the person next to you, you also find yourself lulled into the land of dreams.

~~~~~~

“You’re already skipping school. You might as well take the day off to relax and enjoy yourself,” you persuade, “Besides, would you leave your new friend behind to hang out at the beach by themselves?”

You look at Neige with playful and expectant eyes. He lets out a sigh and a small smile slips through, as he concedes. 

“I suppose taking one day off wouldn’t hurt.”

You give a cheer.

“Race you to the ocean!” you shout, scrambling to your feet. 

Neige squeaks in surprise, before he latches onto your ankle, tripping you. Landing on your hands with a small oof, Neige rushes past.

“Ok, pretty boy! I see how it is,” you cackle. 

Launching yourself from the ground into a runner’s sprint, you catch up to him. Wrapping your arms around Neige’s waist, you use your momentum to spin him around a couple of times before flinging him in the opposite direction of the coast. He screeches at the unexpected attack and begins laughing as he stumbles back, trying to regain his balance. Without hesitation, you turn back to the destination and bolt toward the finish line. 

The tempered ocean water hits your feet, slowing you down, as you raise your fists and cheer.

Neige jogs over with a stuttering laugh.

“Alright, alright, you win. Are you happy?” He asks with a grin.

“Immensely,” you beam.

~~~~~~

“We’ll have a [favorite ice cream/gelato flavor] and biscoff gelato, please,” you order from the ice cream parlor you found. 

The man behind the counter nods with a smile and begins scooping out your request. Neige’s eyes are wide as they turn to you.

“You don’t have to pay for mine,” he insists, pulling out his wallet. 

You stop his movements by putting a hand over his.

You hold eye contact with him, as you say, “I like and want to spoil you. You’re sweet, so getting you something sweet only makes sense. Please let me do this.”

Neige’s face heats up and you watch his brain malfunction for a few seconds, before turning away. You take the opportunity to pull out your card and give it to the owner of the shop, paying for your snacks. 

“That’s so sweet of you to pay for your boyfriend like that,” the owner comments, swiping your card.

Grinning, you wrap an arm around Neige’s waist, tugging him closer to you. 

“Yeah, he doesn’t treat himself that often, so I have to make sure he gets what he deserves,” you answer, winking at Neige.

Neige’s hand rushes to cover his blush as it spreads to the tips of his ears. The owner coos at you two, handing you your ice creams and card. You thank him on your way out, still attached at the hip with a flustered Neige. 

~~~~~~

The magic wheel zooms through the streets of Sage’s Island, and the sun casts a golden glow on you and Neige. He’s pressed right up against your back, clinging onto your waist. It’s warm and comforting. You’ve been riding aimlessly together for about half an hour, but seeing the sun setting, you figure you should take him home. 

Sneaking a glance at your companion, you watch his wide-eyed gaze explore the mountainous scenery. You smile before speeding up. You feel Neige’s chest move with twinkling laughter. He squeezes you tighter and leans in. Today has been a far better day than expected.

The sun has partially set in the sky as you pull up to the gates of the Royal Swords Academy. Putting the vehicle in park, you dismount the wheel, before offering your hand to help Neige off. 

“Here you go, sweetheart,” you say with a wink. 

Neige’s breath catches, as a hand comes to block his mouth in embarrassment. He places his other hand in yours, using it to get off. With both feet on the ground, he looks at you like you’ve hung the stars in the sky. You might as well have, you note, as the stars begin to peek out.

“When will I see you again? I want to see you again,” he pleads.

You blink in surprise at such a bold statement, before chuckling. 

“Well, I can come back tomorrow if you want me to. You know I have the week off,” you offer with a fond smile.

“Really?! You would do that? That wouldn’t ruin your vacation, would it?” he clarifies at a rapid pace.

You laugh, leaning against the magic wheel. 

“Honestly, Neige, if I didn’t leave NRC’s campus, I’d probably get dragged into some kind of shenanigans with Ace, Deuce, and Grim,” you explain, “I love them, but they’re a handful and I want a break. I would much rather hang out with you. It’s more peaceful and relaxing. Besides, I had a lot of fun today and I like getting to know you.” 

Neige’s mouth opens in a small oh, as his gaze softens. He clasps his hands in front of his heart, simply gazing at you. For a few moments, you just hold each other’s gaze, content and comfortable in the silence. You reach out to tuck a loose strand of hair away from Neige’s face. You let your hand linger, cupping his cheek and rubbing your thumb against it. His eyes droop and he nuzzles into your hold. Unable to resist, you draw him closer and loop an arm around his waist, before remembering–

“Your beret,” you murmur, “Let me get it for you.”

Moving to open one of the compartments on the magic wheel, you grab Neige’s hat only to settle back into the space in front of him. Placing the beret on his head, you let him adjust it. As he finishes, you notice unfamiliar red lettering along the border. Leaning in, you take a closer look.

“Someday my princess will come,” you quote.

Smiling, you continue, “Mmm, that’s cute. That sounds like something you would say, Neige.”

Your thumb runs over the embroidery, following every swirl of cursive on the beret. Your eyes flicker down to his to realize that you’re rather close. You can’t help but take a peek at his lips. They’re red, just like when you first met him, but this time they're slightly parted. You find yourself locking eyes with Neige’s brown ones once again, drawn together like magnets. Neige presses his body more snugly against you, watching for any signs of discomfort, as he rests his hands on your hips. You play with his lapel, before moving up to his shoulders and finally wrapping your arms around his neck. You give a playful smile, as you draw closer, and you feel Neige’s quiet laughter against your lips. Eyes sliding shut, you lean in. 

Before you can kiss, however–

“Neige, Neige! There you are!” 

“Do you know how much you made us worry?”

“We couldn’t find you after you ran out of the dorm– *achoo*!”

“And you–you left your phone at the dorm, so we had no way to contact you!”

“We looked everywhere in the academy, *yawns* even my favorite napping place.” 

“I can’t believe you skipped class. You should take us next time.”

“Toby, what are you talking about? We’re not supposed to skip class.” 

“Oops, sorry, I forgot.”

Neige lets out a whine, as his head falls against your shoulder. With the moment ruined, he hugs your waist tighter in protest. Laughing, you pat the poor boy’s shoulder, rubbing it soothingly. You take a look past him to identify the source of the shouts.

You spot seven short figures toddling their way over to the two of you from RSA’s gates. You’re unable to make out the fine details in the diminishing light, and instead opt to look back at Neige, his pitiful form still draped over you. These must be the seven dwarves that he was talking about earlier; the ones he grew up with. Based on their behavior, they seem to care about him just as much as Neige expressed his love and concern for them. You squeeze Neige tighter, grateful that he has a secure support network. He’s already been through a lot just based on what he’s told you so far.

Neige lets out another groan of despair, as you turn your full attention back towards him. Feeling a bit playful, you bring your face right next to his ear.

“I won’t let you go without a little something,” you tease.

Neige perks up, looking at you with wide and attentive eyes.

You chuckle at his reaction, murmuring that he’s cute, before leaning in to place a kiss on his cheek. He melts into your touch, gripping your waist tighter. Pulling away, you tap your own cheek with a quick wink. In the dim light, you’re barely able to make out the flush spreading across his face. His Adam's apple bobs, before he leans in to place a gentle kiss on your cheek. You giggle, and after a few seconds pull away.

“Enough to tide you over?” you question.

“...Barely,” he whispers, still stuck in the same spot, star-struck. 

“I trust your friends will make sure you get to your dorm safely?” you confirm, starting up the engine of the magic wheel. 

He nods.

“Good,” you smile, “I’ll see you tomorrow, Snow.”

“See you tomorrow, (Y/N),” he replies, before shaking out of his stupor and calling out, “Make sure to get home safe!”

You laugh, as you leave the Royal Swords Academy… at least for today.

“Thanks! Will do!” 

You’ll be back tomorrow.

Alright, a little update for the Neige x Reader I’ve been working on, because it’s not finished but I wanted to share something, so here we are.

In this Neige x Reader Fanfic I’ve decided to up the potential trauma that comes with having to raise 7 dwarves with no adult help. That’s scary af and would really fuck u up especially at such a young age. So, we playing into that to give Neige more character depth and so the audience can empathize with him a lot more. Or maybe I just like seeing soft boys cry… could be that too. But I’m taking the little bit of his past we got from Vil in chapter 6 and elaborate on the details. I’m having Neige be the one who was making the money and trying to be the head of the house much like Snow White in her movie. With that comes having to ignore your own feelings to prioritize the other’s so that they can maybe have a more “normal” childhood if that makes sense. So that’s the angle I’m going for.

Reader for this fic is pretty suave considering all things… like they’re not a bumbling mess like most of us are. This is what some of us want to be; relatively put together and also getting permission to ride a magic wheel lol. If anyone’s the Prince Charming in this story, it’s the reader, which I love. Neige gives an innocent vibe so having him being the one who’s more submissive in the relationship makes more sense to me.

Also I headcanon that Neige is pretty quick to fall in love, and probably opening up to people that he actually likes if that makes sense? He’s pretty trusting of others. Sometimes that’s backfired, but he seems like the type to love too much rather than to never love at all.

That’s all for this update folks! A bit of hurt/comfort + maybe a little date and bonding time between Neige in the reader in this upcoming fic. I’m inclined to make it a little mini series, because I wanna see Vil’s reaction at VDC to learn that Neige and Reader are super close low key. Not 100% sure but honestly that idea kinda has me sold, so… the likely hood is pretty high

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Ok, I was rewatching Chapter 5 of Twst in order to figure out how I should write Vil’s character and I got to the part where Epel ends up running out of the ballroom, and low key wanted to lay down the law with Vil during this scene, so I wrote a short scenario. Vil truly gets roasted in this. Also low key unedited, but it should be fine lol

Epel runs out of the room with frustrated cries and sobs. You stare at the door in disbelief, as Deuce attempts to run after Epel.

“Don’t bother,” Vil interjects, “If he doesn’t want to be here, then he doesn’t have to. I don’t want to work with someone who’s not motivated.”

Deuce hesitates, before defending “You don’t have to say it like that. Epel’s been working hard in his own way–”

“Just trying isn’t enough, it needs to also produce results,” Vil snaps back, “Besides, should you really be trying to defend and worry about Epel, when you have your own shortcomings to deal with?”

Vil continues his assault on Deuce, pointing out and attacking all the areas that he needs to work on.

Leaning back in your chair, you watch the interaction go down with pursed lips and a disapproving look. Vil also happens to be getting on your nerves lately and if he’s not listening to anybody else in regards to his own shortcomings, then you might try your hand at it as well. However, you’re willing to use Vil’s criticism tactics against him.

You roll your eyes as you prepare yourself to make a scene. Shifting positions, you cross your legs and lean back in the chair with a somewhat haughty air about you. Relaxing your body, you wait for your cue to come in.

In the middle of his speech, you cut Vil off in a voice that

“It’s no wonder you keep getting villain roles. With that kind of attitude, you’re already all set to play an antagonist,” you comment.

Everyone’s eyes snap in your direction and you watch Vil stiffen, but pay no attention to it, as you continue on.

“Also if we’re on the topic of people leaving the group, I’m under the impression that it should be you to leave, not Epel. I mean every time the team gets excited, you immediately shut it down by pointing out all the flaws immediately without any points of encouragement. You target Epel every rehearsal without fail and end up just insulting him instead of giving him actual feedback on how to improve. If anyone should leave, it’s you,” you state, before getting up from your seat. “It seems the mood is ruined so continuing practice won’t do any good. I’m going to head back.”

You make your way to the closed door before stopping and glancing back one last time.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, Vil, but isn’t Pomefiore based on the Beautiful Queen’s effort?” You clarify.

When no response comes, you continue, “I find it ironic that the dorm leader would completely ignore and dismiss the suggestions of their peers in how they can improve themselves and instead opt to attack the weaknesses of others. It set a bad example.”

That’s the last thing you say before walking out of the studio.

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Just for the record, in Chapter 7 whenever u’re helping Sebek wake up from his dream, and Silver goes to attack Malleus. As soon as Sebek announces that he’s going to get in the way, my first reaction would be to screech at him to not hurt Silver and just launch myself at him. Tackle him to the ground and if I can’t, be just a terrible nuance by stabbing his eye with my finger or smashing his nose with my palm or biting the back of his neck. All of which I would deem as being shocking enough to wake Sebek out of his dream state and make him remember what happened before he fell asleep. Also give him a taste of his own medicine by just screeching in his ear the entire time low key

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Silver and Sebek’s dynamic makes me laugh so hard because Sebek always talks big but as soon as something serious or major happens to someone he cares about, he doesn’t know what to do and Silver ends up being the one yelling orders at him. It’s very funny and amusing. Their dynamic is very cute especially from what we’ve seen briefly towards the end of chapter 7, part 3. It’s good

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Bro, Silver getting impassioned and yelling and acting urgently is so hot. He acts like a prince and a knight and I screech thinking about it

Diasomnia and Mulan Parallels in Chapter 7

We gotta talk about Diasomnia and the subtle Mulan motifs because I haven’t seen many people talking about it in relation to chapter 7 and I’m seeing the signs everywhere.

So obviously Twisted Wonderland has dropped hints and has referenced Mulan multiple times, especially when it comes to Diasomnia. The first time I remember it being extremely prominent was in the Halloween event. The relationship between the two being dragons, which makes sense. However, there’s a lot more connections than just that.

Silver represents and is twisted from a lot of things, much like Lilia, but one of those things is the silver sword used by Prince Philip to kill Maleficent. Now there’s also another movie where a sword and physical fighting is important and you guessed it, it’s Mulan!

Let’s talk about the parallels between Mulan and Diasomnia especially when it comes to chapter 7.

Lilia and Mulan’s dad are in the same position. Both fathers are getting older and have lost their prowess and power they once had.

Silver and Mulan are also in the same position. When the war comes to China and the draft is announced, Mulan steps up for her family and father, who’s too old to go to war, and goes in his stead despite her family’s disapproval and devastation. When Malleus overblots and Lilia is too weak to counter him, Silver steps up to save his family from this sleeping curse despite Malleus’s active disdain and outrage. Both of them choose to do the harder thing. Mulan had the option to stay home and just act as a good wife in order to help her parents and Silver could have decided to stay in his dream with Lilia because that’s what he wanted most of all, but neither of them do that. Mulan goes into the military to protect her father and her family, while Silver opposes Malleus because he wants to respect and honor his father’s last wishes and knows that this isn’t what he wants, and it’s not easy. Mulan desperately struggles to stay in the military and is only barely able to make it (I’ll Make a Man Out of You). Silver has to give up his dream and desire to be together with his father and then fight one of his closest relatives essentially on the matter, which is emotionally taxing.

Mulan is also the underdog, the least likely person to save China, and much like Mulan, Silver is too. Mulan is a woman, who's often considered weaker than men. Similarly, Silver is a human surrounded by fae, who’re known to have more magical prowess and power and long life spans. They’re the unexpected ones who will defeat someone who’s considered an impossible enemy.

Now Silver’s Unique Magic is a foil to Malleus’s Fae of Maleficence. You could consider Silver a mirror to Malleus, a reflection. Which could be connected to Mulan, as she sings Reflection and ends up seeing her reflection in the sword before deciding to cut her hair off and go to the military.

Now, while not 100% confirmed, I’m inclined to believe that Sebek has heavy aspects of Shang incorporated into his character. Much like Shang’s actions of kicking Mulan out of the military when he finds out she’s a female, Sebek parallels this by believing that fae are stronger than humans and discriminating against them. Now, Shang comes around to the idea of Mulan, a female, saving all of China and is pretty cool with it and seems a bit proud of her. Now, I have a distinct feeling that Sebek is going to do the same in terms of coming around to humans. The first year gang is gonna show him that humans are just as powerful as fae. Maybe not in the exact same way, but they do have their strengths. Just like how Shang might have been physically stronger than Mulan, Mulan was more creative with her environment than he was.

Malleus is probably acting as the Hun’s leader whose name I forgot and I also forgot his motive for going to war too so can’t say much about him.

I also have a distinct inclination that the first year gang, or at least ADeuce is gonna play a part in this because of how they inducted Ortho into their group and how they’ve been grouping them together so far. I’m thinking that in terms of story roles, the first year gang is gonna act like Mulan’s besties in the military who dressed up as beautiful women to get inside the palace along with Cricket and Mushu. Defeating the Huns was a team effort in Mulan and I have a feeling it’s going to be the same for defeating Malleus. I mean, defeating Maleficent was a team effort in Sleeping Beauty. The fairies helped Philip escape, gave him weapons, and buffed him in order for him to one shot Maleficent. I can see that happening with Ortho being the striker.

Also if my thought process is correct for Sebek, that means that he’s going to end up bonding with other humans besides Silver and who’re better candidates than the first year gang? Besides, Ace hasn’t gotten his unique magic yet, so it’s probably going to happen in Chapter 7 and if not, chapter 8. I’m not exactly sure how Twisted will end, but that’s not the main concern at the moment. We gotta survive chapter 7 first and I’ve already cried over these characters two times already.

Guys, does anyone know what the RSA students think about NRC? Like it’s blatantly obvious that RSA isn’t liked at NRC, but considering that RSA is based off of the heroes of Disney stories who r generally portrayed as benevolent, would they not mind having someone from NRC visit or something? If anyone knows anything, pls tell me lol

Guys, I need a fic where the MC allows Vil to act how he wants to without restraint for a little bit. He’s always had to watch himself it seems. Just based on the way he acted in Chapter 6 when he kissed Rook, Epel, and MC, it seems he does very much like physical affection. 

[uniquethingtastemaker]

Once again it’s 2am and I have another twisted wonderland related idea that I’m gonna share. I want more in canon one shots, scenarios, and imagines! I want MC who’s attracted to Vil work with him in Chapter 6 and whenever he goes to save Idia and ends up all old and everything for the reader to be like “I still love u even though your old and kinda ugly now. U did the right thing, and hey, you got to be what u always wanted to be, a hero.”

I want for MC to be actively flirting with Floyd or Jade during their last squabble underwater while they distract the twins from getting to Azul. “Yeah, I’ll date you after sunset. We can be official by then.”

I want you to almost get caught spying on Ruggie with Riddle or Cater or one of ADeuce, and they have to pull u into a closet not to get caught

Let me have some Silver x Reader X Malleus (unrequited) for chapter 7, because I’m brainrotting over silver and what malleus is doing is baaaaaad. Silver’s going through so much. Just wanna give him some support and love

Hello! I think I've got a good one. First off, for the sake of this request, let's pretend that Rook was somehow able to attend Camp Vargas (We're reaching SO far, but it's fine) and he has a male s/o who was also attending the camp (whether he's Yuu or not, I'll leave up to you), but he has serious trauma from being kidnapped by a serial killer when he was younger. And so, when Vargas captures and ties him up, the reader starts losing it and having a panic attack, thinking he's going to die. How would Rook react to this?

Hey, Anon! Thanks for sharing your brain rot ideas regarding Rook, because we love our ridiculous and theatrical hunter. Truly a wild set of circumstances I've been presented, but I love it!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw Rook attending Camp Vargas purely because the man is so athletic. He wields a huge bow with great accuracy and is proficient in stealth. He would easily be able to sneak in and just lay in wait, taking pictures secretly in the trees. The reason he would be there in the first place would absolutely be to take photographs.

Honestly, even without the extremeness of "got kidnapped by a serial killer," I can see someone having a panic attack just in general by getting kidnapped. I mean certain traumas can trigger people's fight, flight, or freeze response and it's a big mood.

What will come next is just me free writing my ideas for this, so here's y'all's present I guess lol. Also, note that I have not actually read the Vargas Camp event, but have a vague idea of what kinda went down during the event lol.

Oh my god, wait, to elaborate on this idea or whatever. I could totally see Rook in the trees, watching the whole kidnapping thing go down. Then, when Vargas would leave to claim his next unsuspecting victim, Rook would drop down next to you. Cooing in your ear that you were safe and are going to be ok, he would cut the ropes off you. Probably holding you close and just rocking you back in forth lovingly while you calm down from your panic attack. You would probably be clinging onto him and his big muscles like a koala. He would be whispering sweet words of affirmations in your ear, as he moves you to somewhere safer. Aka away from the pile of other victims lol...

You know, he would probably cut the other victims free just to cause some more fun chaos and trouble for Ashton. He probably knows that the person behind the kidnappings was Ashton anyway, because Rook is so perceptive... I could totally imagine him deciding to exact a "friendly" revenge on him for messing and actually traumatizing his beloved by telling the other victims that the culprit was Ashton and maybe some other important information to help them successfully get back at their teacher lol. Rook wouldn't have time in the moment to personally get back at him, because he would be too busy taking care of you!! Ahhh, so sweet! We love our hunter boy. Taking care of us and making sure that we feel ok and safe (in his arms lol). I can imagine that there would be cuddles as you hear the sounds of absolute chaos and screaming in the distance perhaps watching the whole fight go down from afar. The kids rebelling and enacting a revolution to overthrow Vargas. Sounds about right. I wouldn't be surprised if that would happen in game low key lol.

Ohhhh, and you know what would be the cherry on the cake? Having the reader specifically thinking and praying (maybe whimpering lol) while they're getting kidnapped that Rook would save them even though he wasn't at camp or whatever. And then having Rook actually show up?!!! *throws myself on the floor and dies* It's such a good idea. Good job, anon, you've successfully murdered me.

You also surprisingly got me to vaguely write/elaborate on your request low key, and that my dude is a feat within itself. Like I'm truly impressed. *applauds you from the floor*

It’s like 2am and I’m absolutely not qualified to be asking this, but does anyone have good Rook x Reader Fanfic ideas?? No promises that I’ll actually write them, however, I will proceed to brain rot over them regardless lol.

(I will say that I am privy to royalty AUs, so if u got an idea like that, it might up your chances for it to make me lose my absolute mind over it. Do make sure to add some regular ones in there though. Always enjoy a variety)

My boy Rook is my favorite character after all. We have similar personalities. We’re both dramatic, funny, compliment people a lot, true to ourselves, and love the theater arts and musicals. We would be so annoying if you put us in the same room together. I love him so much that I’m actually planning to cosplay him soon

Point is send in ur Rook x Reader ideas!!
