RESULTS CONCLUDED!!! I will be doing headcanons! (Unless requested something else for a prompt- I am a servant of the people.)
(sorry it's been a while. School started and I'm tired CONSTANTLY. Seriously not even coffee and an energy drink could fix me.)
So the @whumptober thing was posted and I don't know if I should do headcanons, little drabbles, or like a character analysis centering around the prompt. Or a mix?
I love how it's implied he has an ED for like, two scenes and then it's NOWHERE. Like, hello? Serious mental disorders don't disappear into thin air.
I haven’t really talked about my feelings for TWST characters but I feel strongly about Azul in the way that I very much dislike him.
- Spoilers for Book 3 and maybe 4
- This is all my opinion really but I don’t think it’s super unfounded.
First off, I feel like his game design could have been better. Yes, he looks fine (in my opinion) but I feel like the game creators had so many options in what to do with him. With Jade and Floyd, even in human form they still somehow resemble eels, but there’s no part of Azul’s design that really shows off more of his octopus merman side. (Side comment: I think that the game designers did Octavinelle dirty with their dorm uniforms. It’s literally just a suit with some accessories. Like come on)
Second off, the part that I really dislike is how his character is portrayed. I know that he is based off of Ursula and therefore has to act like her, but I feel like his backstory that we see after his overblot doesn’t really provide a good enough reason for how he turned out like this and how he acts toward other people.
More on the second point - we see Azul to be bullied which pushes him to want to be better and get back at those who made fun of him. I think that’s a reasonable thing to do - as someone who has been bullied, I have definitely thought about what it would be like to get ahead of them and make them regret being mean to me - not in a violent way but in a ‘they realize I’m so much better and more talented’ kinda way.
We see that people are having things taken and we see how Azul begins his contract making and such. But he goes beyond that, he starts to make contracts and screw over people who DIDN’T do anything with him. We know from Book 3 that he ran his anemone-study guide stunt last year as well. None of those kids bullied him for his weight, he simply did it to get ahead and be ‘owed’ something.
What I think happened is that Azul felt good after getting the better of those kids when he was young, and then just continued it. His actions in the TWST timeline can’t be justified by him being bullied in the past because he’s already gone above and beyond for that.
That also pulls out another point - but I (don’t hate me for this) think that Azul’s overblot was the most undeserving. Yes, it’s painful to lose something you worked hard and long for. Yes, initially the trauma of being bullied was what got you on this path. But the way that he freaked out, put people in danger, all for bullying as kid? It doesn’t seem justified enough.
One of the main things I’ve seen people complain that they don’t really like about the game is how it doesn’t really seem like the Overblot Boys get enough of a character arc, as their personalities stay the same. This is also true of Azul. In Book 4, he acts exactly the way that he acts in Book 3, and it annoys me that all these people are going through TRAUMATIZING EVENTS and don’t seem to change, while also the player never gets to see what consequences they get.
Also did we ever see the reason why Azul is very ‘I did this now you owe me’ ‘I can’t accept your help because I’ll be in your debt’??
Anyway yeah, that’s my take on Azul. Pls don’t come at me for it.
imagine the most meanspirited, unlikeable, rude, bitter, self centered, negative person you can think of. not a rapist, not a murderer, not an abuser. just a charmless, tactless, dyed in the wool asshole you wouldn't want to spend two seconds with. now assume they get sick, not with the flu, but with a long term, serious illness that limits their ability to provide for themself. a society in which that person is left to die alone because nobody likes them on a personal level is a failed society.
How the Geneva Drive (the mechanical step that makes the second hand on a clock work by turning constant rotation into intermittent motion) works.
SHILVER... but the banner features VIL somehow??? 😭 That would be Silver's name in an AU where he was sorted into Octavinelle 🤣 because "shill" means "an accomplice of a swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage others; a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with said person or organization".
asdybayofqef Sebek has expressed in his Union Jacket vignettes that if he were to pick another dorm, he would select Octavinelle... so he can Shilver can be there together as Azul's new muscular bouncers www (I don't think Silver would be that useful of a salesman though, if White Rabbit Fest was of any indication:)
If I had a penny for everytime someone in the twst fandom called a teenager abusive or heartless, I'd be fucking filthy rich
So uh...
An anon( I think) asked for Jamil/Azul headcanons Azul/Idia headcanons or Azul/Idia/Jamil headcanons and I accidentally posted the answer before I was ready, panicked, and deleted it not realizing it would delete the ask too.
Oopsy?
(IM NOT IRRESPONSIBLE I SWEAR)
Anyways I'm doing all of them
Jamil/Azul:
An OTP of mine. I love them. Chapter Four was the gayest shit since sliced bread.(and vampire nails those are-)
@masterofrecords has an amazing fic for them it's gorgeous. (MARRY ME YOUR WRITING IS SO GOOD)
Anyways. Headcanons!
In above mentioned fic Jamil makes food for people to say that he cares about them. And he makes food for Azul. A lot. Soyeahthatsathingnow.
Azul comes to ALL of Jamils basketball games! The American football movie stereotype!
Azul likes Jamil's shiny hair things. Octopus instinct.
Jamil gives Azul shiny things as gifts.
"hey I found this coin in the vault at Scarabia do you-" "YES"
Jamil will never see that coin again
Azul/Idia
BOARD GAME CLUB BOARD GAME CLUB!!!
The nerd duo
This ship has really grown on me!
There's a comic on the Twisted Wonderland subreddit by u/Kamapon that really introduced me to the ship! It's slightly suggestive but it's so good! The art honestly looks official.
Gossip buddies over chess
"Did you hear? The science club room was set on fire." "EXCUSE ME WHAT?"
Idia is so shocked his hair flares up and the Board game clubroom almost catches too.
Idia takes Azul to a Premo concert and Azul just stares at their shiny costumes and light sticks
The blue lipstick gets everywhere.
Jamil/Azul/Idia
THE GRAND FINALE!!! This is so cute!
Obviously Azul and Idia go on dates to Jamil's games.
Jamil and Azul once held a conversation as to who could make Idia's hair the pinkest.
The only time it turned fully pink was when both of them worked together. Yay! THE POWER OF... Ship? What's a romantic word for friendship?
Azul introduces Jamil and Idia.
"this is Idia! He also doesn't like people!"
"...Azul. listen to yourself."
Everyone else on campus thinks they're weird.
They are.
Authors Note: IM SO SORRY ANON 😭😭😭😭
Whumptober Day: 2
(I didn't spin a wheel today I just chose Leona bc I'm projecting)
"They don't care about you"
Due being a very prestigious school, NRC doesn't have much time to spare. They have a lot of curriculum to get through.
This causes their break periods to only be a week at a time.
While most students see this as a con, to Leona it's the best part. The less time he spends in that stupid, stuffy, suffocating palace the better.
So when he was told be would be spending another two extra weeks at home he was not pleased.
Farena was the one who broke the news to him citing some random noble coming to visit.
"You're school doesn't mind so neither should you! School isn't fun anyways right?"
Leona snapped at him and threw him out.
Whenever Farena couldn't talk to Leona he sent father in. Which was worse.
Much worse.
Apparently he 'didnt value family' and 'was an ungrateful brat.'
"You've asked why you can't be a king this is why!
"Your friends will come and go they won't be there for you when you need them! One day you'll be dying and they'll let you. They won't even miss you! No one would miss a useless ungrateful brat!"
"They don't love you how family does."
"They don't care for you how family does"
"I doubt they care for you at all."
He was just an asshole. His words held no meaning heck, he barely even knew Leona.
But it still hurt
Leona sat there covering his face with his hands and breathing slowly. He wasn't crying. Crying was weak.
Leona was weak.
Who would care for a weak, Useless, Whiny, Ungrateful brat?
Authors Note:
Real conversation.
I really love Leona hes so me! Sorry this is late I was gonna do it yesterday but I fell asleep whilst doing homework. Like I woke up on the paper lol.
*slides in from the left, overshoots, scrambles back into view after an extended period of crashing sounds with that one cat yowl* howdy I heard you write headcanons :D
Do you have any particular thoughts on how cuddly some of the guys would be? Like who's happy to cuddle, who would doze off, who would be all awkward about it lol - I just like to cuddle my besties haha
Hope you have a great day - and make sure you stay hydrated!
(ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧
Ok so this technically falls under the category of x reader but I'll try! I'm not writing these as romantic though! Bestie cuddles.(Most of these depends on your like prior friendship status to them so I'm going to assume that you're like friends. like close ish idk)
Also I don't really know how cuddles work. It's just hugging right? Like sleepy hugs?? Never experienced it before. I'm trying.
Part one: they hug you.
Riddle: 7/10 he'd be like... Okay?? The most awkward thing ever he's trying not to be weird about but then he'll get comfortable and relax. Touch starved.
Ace: 8/10 Prefers second long hugs and stuff but he's down for it. He'd fall asleep instantly.
Deuce: 9/10 AWKWARD. And then he'll get comfortable and it's the best thing ever. -1 point for snoring.
Cater: 10/10 the best. He's touch starved and just waiting. Waiting for a hug.
Trey: 5/10 he just kinda... Wraps his arms around you. He's trying. And failing.
Leona: 2/10 he doesn't hug you. Just sleeps. It's peaceful though and he does wrap his tail around you so???
Ruggie: 10/10 he will randomly run up to you and jump in for a hug. Cuddles all the time. It's the best.
Jack: 10/10 big teddie bear. It's great. He's somehow soft?? Like? Where did your muscles go?
Azul: 8/10 he's... Slightly uncomfortable. He doesn't hug often. But when he does it's really nice. Like. He's squishy.
Jade: 7/10 he's... Decent at cuddling. Again he just kinda. Wraps his arms around you. Extra points for like. Fitting well? Against you??
Floyd: 10/10 again like Ruggie he just runs up and hugs you. He's just more... Feral. It's terrifying. You think he's going to bite you and then you get a hug.
Kalim: 11/10 the sweetest. "Im so happy I could hug you!" And then he does. The cardigan is soft. Cuddles are the best.
Jamil: 7/10 most of the comfort would come from the really fluffy blanket that Kalim gifted to him. It's good. But he's like. Burning hot.
Vil: 5/10 doesn't 'do' hugs. But he will. He. Will. It's awkward. Would be better if he was relaxed. If he's relaxed it's a 10
Rook: 9/10 so comfortable. He's somehow soft? Like? Where did your bones go? -1 point for the hat staying on.
Epel: 10/10 *cries* again. The sweetest. He's soft like rook but firm. Like vil. It's a combination.
Idia: 7/10 he's gaming. Like literally gaming as your cuddling. Hello? Respect?
Ortho: 9/10 Hard. That is made of metal. But he's super sweet about it!
Malleus: 8/10 Squishy. You'd never expect it.
Lilia: 7/10 just kinda shows up behind you and. Oh you're being cuddled. That's nice.
Silver: 8/10 takes after his father. He's less... frightening about it though.
Sebek: 6/10 he's stiff. He's just like... There? Idk +2 points for trying.
Crowley: 6/10 he's hugging you and then. Where did he go? He's gone? The opposite of Lilia
Crewel: 6/10 the coat is fuzzy and soft! He's not.
Trein: 8/10 this man canonically has daughters. He's good at hugging. he'll hug you like you're his child.
Lucius the cat: 100/10 it's. a. cat.
Vargas: 6/10 muscle. That's all you're feeling.
Sam: 7/10 boney. I mean. Look at him. He gives good hugs though
Neige: 10/10 I totally forgot him last time but. Anyways he's the sweetest. He's soft. The best hugs.
Chenya: 9/10 like Floyd. Thankfully he won't Bite.
Grim: 11/10 more feral cat.
Part two: You hug them.
Riddle: 8/10 he's so happy. He might cry.
Ace: 9/10 will just lay on your chest and it's the most comfortable thing ever. -1 point for falling asleep and not moving for hours... You missed classes.
Deuce: 8/10 less awkward! More snoring.
Cater: 10/10 Leans into it. Falls asleep so fast.
Trey: 9/10 stiff but will relax over time. Back hugs. He loves them.
Leona: 10/10 not big on hugs but being hugged? Yes. He purrs.
Ruggie: 10/10 sleeps. his tail wags. It's adorable
Jack: 10/10 big softie. His tail wags and it's probably the best thing ever.
Azul: 9/10 Squishy. Again. Im not sure how to describe it but like human octopus? Idk he's literally and octopus so??
Jade: 7/10 you have to grab this mf. He's too tall. Good hug though.
Floyd: 9/10 Again. Grab him. Better hug than Jade
Kalim: 11/10 does this need an explanation? Big on being cuddled.
Jamil: 8/10 confused. He'll figure it out. Awkwardly hugs back
Vil: 7/10 0-0 <- his face. Hes just. There?
Rook: 8/10 hugs back. Pretty much the same as when he hugs you. -2 points for still keeping the hat.
Epel: 11/10 somehow better? He's lovin' it.
Idia: 8/10 Drops his console. Tries to grab it. Fails
Ortho: 10/10 lifts you. Like. He floats. As a happy response. It's shocking but like. So cute.
Malleus: 8/10 froze. Like Vil. He's just. There.
Lilia: 9/10 "oh. Okay!" Comfortable silence.
Silver: 10/10 asleep. +2 points for the birds.
Sebek: 8/10 Shocked. (Get it? Zigvolt) silently leans into it. Touch starved.
Crowley: 7/10 THE FEATHERS ARE SPIKY?! HOW?! Overall good.
Crewel: 8/10 same as p.1 just. Shocked. He's soft now?
Trein: 10/10 honestly. I don't know how'd he react. Would deffo hug back. It's a bonding moment. He cradles you in his arms.
Lucius the cat: 0/10 scratches you. Unless you've earned his love. 1000/10
Vargas: 8/10 hugs back too tight. You can't breathe.
Sam: 9/10 boney. But good? Somehow??
Neige: 11/10 melts into it. he literally cannot stop smiling.
Chenya: 11/10 Cat. Purrs. +1 for being purple. I love purple.
Grim: 11/10 another cat. Another. Cat.
Authors Note: spot the Voltron reference. Also holy moly I had no clue how to write this.
Happy 4:15 in the morning. I'm doing flash headcanons for Sexuality. (Authors Note: took a break and made breakfast potatoes. It's now 7:00 am and I have my father's love.)
I may or may not be high so; here we go:
Heartslabyul:
Riddle: he's bi. He insists he's straight but he's lying to himself. You'll get it one day sweetie. Leans more to guys.
Ace: BI. BISEXUAL DISASTER. This man experienced bi panic when he saw Epel and Deuce in a room together. (He thought Epel was a chick...) Also. Acesexual. (get it. Asexual? Acesexual? I'm a comedian.)
Deuce: Gay. His mother is supportive.
Cater: unlabeled. He hates labeling anything about himself. If asked will say he's gay but if you get to know him he'll be honest.
Trey: Pansexual. It's the vibes. Nothing else needs to be said.
Savanaclaw:
Leona: Gay. Would never want a women. Don't be mistaken he greatly respects women he's just not attracted to them. At all.
Jack: Pan. Another man that drinks his respect women juice.
Ruggie: acesexual demi romantic. You have to know him first.
Octavinelle:
Azul: Questioning... He knows he likes men... he's working on it. Just tells people he's gay while he figures it out.
Jade: Gay. Pulls women though. He's polite in rejecting them.
Floyd: Unlabeled. Ask him to give him a label and he'll flip you off.
Scarabia:
Kalim: Asexual Panromantic. The sweetest.
Jamil: Bi. Pulls everyone.
Pomefiore:
Vil: Queer. He's something?
Rook: again. Gay. I don't think this needs to be explained.
Epel: questioning
Ignihyde:
Idia: Gay. He doesn't really care though. he just knows.
Ortho: Ortho doesn't know yet. Idia explained LGBTQ stuff to Ortho (since a lot of people on campus are queer) but Ortho really young so he doesn't really think about it. (Also. Robot)
Diasomnia:
Malleus: He's clearly gay but Lilia hadn't given him the talk.
Silver: I would say Malleus's applies to Silver but Silver is Bi.
Sebek: Internalized Homophobia. It's okay for other people to be gay just not him. Anyways Gay.
Lilia: The original gay. All gays evolved from him.
Staff:
Crowley: Aroace. 'Ew romance' (he says that everytime he catches students making out in odd places)
Crewel: Gay. And extremely supportive.
Trein: Y'know what. I'm going to be brave here. Token straight. Ally.
Vargas: Bi. Incredibly Bi.
Sam: Gay. Gay black man. (Authors Note: met a black gay once during an open dance thing and he hyped me up the entire time. He had the coolest pride baseball jacket thing? It has a rainbow on it. Dee if you're out there I love you <3.)
Other:
Lucius: A... Cat?
Neige: Pansexual. He has the pan colours.
Che'nya: A... Gay Cat?
Najma: that is a LESBIAN. Probably the most similar character to me! So she's a lesbian.
Marja: Ally! You go grandma!
Cheka: Cheka doesn't know much about gay people... He asked dad but he just said 'Oh yeah. Leona's gay!' Cheka doesn't know what that means.
Authors Note: According to the wiki; Neige is taller than Vil. NEIGE IS 6,3. let that sink in. 6,3. That's not possible. That's a fucking lie. These guys are SKYSCRAPERS. Anyways in the wiki it also says that Vil wears 13 CENTIMETER HEELS? That's like. 5-6 inches. Which is probably why Vil looks taller than Neige in the story...
I'm trying my best I promise T-T
(in all seriousness I'm working on the new requests and a few non requests but life is kicking my ass and school is starting soon so my hands are a little full. They're coming soon though so be patient!)
