Lovefool

Oho im a curious anon now I gotta know if you have any more thoughts on jade and azul (or just one of them) I like hearing peoples take on characters!

ooh I like curious people, of course I have thoughts on Jade and Azul!! I'll gladly share them with you my dear anon <33 and if you'd like to say your thoughts on them as well, feel free to!

as I mentioned in my Floyd brainrot, I'm not immune to Octavinelle propaganda, they are actually my favorite dorm! they are all sooo interesting, both on their own and as part of a dynamic, be it between themselves or other characters!

time to dive deep into the waters of my Octavinelle thoughts. prepare yourself, it's a deep dive in.

the same warning as in Floyd's post: this is my own view of the characters that may not be 100% accurate and anyone can disagree!

I'll talk about them separatedly and then as a trio later on, so let's get started with the dorm leader, shall we?

AZUL

if you've seen my writing before anon, you might have noticed that I particularly like to make Azul suffer a bit, but I swear I love him!! it's just that I also love to break his carefully constructed façade and look at what's inside, what are Azul Ashengrotto's inner feelings, what are the things that stay in his mind only for him to ever see or hear, what is he hiding deep down?

oh Azul, where to start with him?

Azul is one of the most popular characters in the fandom, he's got a perfect combo going on for him: he's one of the housewardens, part of Octavinelle and he's got a tragic backstory. triple strike!

not only that but his businessman like persona and cunning schemes get a lot of attention, not to mention that he's twisted from such an iconic villain! Ursula from the Little Mermaid is certainly someone that stays in your mind even years later!

I'll begin at the beginning, and go on till I come to the end, then!

Azul's backstory is one many people can relate to, myself included, which gathers a lot of sympathy from the fandom for his woes. it's awful to be excluded as a child simply because you look different and is a bit more introverted, and I get the overachieving academically to compensate for it and feel like you can prove them wrong and that you're just as capable, just as good.

seeing him having a similar story to myself actually created a deep connection with his character, because I feel like I get it. it was awful and cruel and he didn't deserve any of it, the loneliness and the yearning to have what other's have, to be like them, to be acknowledged. (I was also a huge crybaby lol so I was picked on for that as well. Azul struggles.)

that's what makes people be so forgiving towards his wrongdoings, because they get it. they can put themselves in his shoes and feel his anguish and despair and desparation. "should I have been in his place, would I have done the same?"

but here's the thing, I think Azul needed a wake up call. maybe not done so crudely like it was in the story, but I understand the prefect's situation, what could they do? plus, it's much more interesting, narratively speaking, to have some huge drama instead of a much needed therapy session.

having everything he's been working for, during YEARS, be destroyed in front of him like that, literally turning into sand, was a breaking point to his already severely bottled up emotions. so he had a reaction that was understandable, but it doesn't make it right.

he had to get stripped away of all the things he'd stolen to be forced to face that he was more than that. he didn't need to prove his old bullys wrong and get his revenge, what he needed was to realize his own potencial. yes, he's different, but that's not a bad thing. it's wonderful, even, and it should be something to be proud of! he should be proud of who he is by his own efforts, not by stealing and tricking people into unfair contracts then hoarding their powers into his vault. Ursula herself was always very confident and proud of herself, something Azul was lacking in order to follow the Sea Witch's steps.

like the prefect has the option to tell Azul at the museum in the end of chapter 3, he's got something that's better than any magic, and he should be proud of that! he's got drive and wits and he doesn't need to live through others, he can live for himself, too.

after all, Azul's big strong point is how intelligent he is. he doesn't need powerful magic (which he does have, not only his unique magic but also his amazing potions) nor powerful muscles (which he also has. Floyd mentions that Azul as an octopus is stronger and bigger than the twins), because he has a powerful brain that's enough to make him be feared, a silver tongue that can rope anyone into one of his schemes.

my Azul appreciation was a gradual thing, since at first I didn't like him that much. I didn't dislike him either, I just didn't give him much thought at all lol like "oh he's an asshole but Ace, Deuce and Grim should have seen that one coming, come on!" and when he sent the twins to bother the prefect I also expected that, so like that's fair ig?

but then after his backstory?? I got my 'oh. oh!' moment, like yes now I get it!! I really like how they all go and put back the photo on it's original place and how Azul changes his dealings afterwards. yes he's still a little shit who will trick people into them, but it's not as exploitive as before? in chapter 4 he's also a great help, even though he really didn't have to get involved (the twins must have been driving him crazy because they were bored lmao)

actually in chapter 4 I was mad at him for filming it live because YOUR RISKING JAMIL'S LIFE? HE COULD GET INTO SERIOUS TROUBLE FOR THAT YOU KNOW?? and then he reveals it was a lie and I think that was the first time I didn't expect one of his schemes, which was very nice because wow he does have basic empathy!!

I also see some people thinking that his whole personality is a fake and he's still the same as he was years ago, which I don't agree with. Azul has learnt how to keep his façade, how to interact with people to get what he wants, how to keep other's at arms lenght and not let them see him vulnerable, but he's no longer the crybaby octopus that would hide in his pot at his troubles. Azul has learnt to face them head on, at least after his overblot, and he knows how to keep himself composed until the very last straw breaks. he's not clingy or whiny, he does his best to keep his image as he wants people to see him, but it isn't all a mask. sometimes the lines blurry, in which point does the businessman Octavinelle's housewarden ends and in which point does Azul Ashengrotto begins? are they not one and the same?

SO. I think he's neat. and he's my little lab rat that I like to project onto <33

also his family life is so interesting? I've read his mother divorced his father and married her divorce attorney and that's so girlboss of her. I just KNOW miss Ashengrotto is the best and super pretty too. (I imagine her to be a bit like Ursula, so very elegant and confident!) also I think she might own a restaurant too? Azul looking up to his mom and trying to be like her that's so cute

JADE

HIIIMMMM JADE LEECH WHEN HEEEEE <333 I LOVE IT WHEN. WHEN. JADE LEECH WHEN.

fun fact: Jade was the one I took the hand of at the start of the game, so he's also my first SR card! we have a special connection I love him I hope he lives his best life. he's also on my top three favorite characters, so you might get a slight whiplash from the change of tone lol

to get started with, I love how his personality is different from Floyd's, but not in a total opposite way, but in a complimentary one. while Floyd is like a passionate crime, done in the heat of the moment, Jade is a premeditated one, carefully planned down to it's details. neither is more or less dangerous, they simply are what they are.

Jade's superficial image of just a butler type character is very insteresting, but I feel people mistake it as him trying to hide his true self? I don't think that's the case, at least not in my point of view. Jade oftentimes lets his more. uh. let's say sadistic side slip through his polite mask, and it's completely on purpose. the students might be more afraid of Floyd, who's openly threatning, but they're also scared of Jade, who lets his mask slip just enough for them to peer a fraction behind it and think "oh. he's also a little fucked up, so I better behave."

he pretends he just wants to help and seems like a polite pushover who has to deal with Floyd and Azul tormenting him, oh poor thing (like Trey mistakingly thinks on Jade's cerimonial robes vignette), but the truth is that he likes it. he likes Floyd's chaos and does nothing to stop it, at most he only pretends he does. he likes Azul's deals and business, as it keeps him entertained. he likes to be more discreet and stay in the shadows, only observing and appearing inconspicuous, it makes people lower their guards more easily, makes them easy prey to lure in and close his jaws onto. he's sharp and knows how to hit all the right weak points to make people cave in.

Jade could use brute force like Floyd does to get his way, but I think the predictability of the outcome would quickly bore him. a mind game is much more fun, twisting his words and using his charm to make people walk into his carefully laid trap, only to realize it when it's too late to do anything about it. that takes creativity and skill, it's very impressive even! that's why he's sooooooooooooooo * sighs dreamingly * he knows how to use his words to the max, how to weaponize them so! it's common to see him as a big tease in fanfics and I think it's because of this, he likes the word game and he likes the thrill a smart conversation can offer.

there's this mystery aura around him because you never guess what he's thinking, with his carefully constructed expressions. it's pretty unsettling, someone that's an enigma and could be either thinking about the weather or planning on your downfall without you suspecting a thing, all with a polite little smile on his face.

there's also one thing. HE'S VERY CAPABLE. HE CAN ADAPT TO ANY SITUATION! I LOVE CAPABLE CHARACTERS. Jade can do anything he puts his mind to, doesn't matter how hard it seems. if he really wants something, he will get it with his own hands. AND AND AND HE KNOWS HOW TO COOK. I know I'd offer my SOUL to take a single bite of a mushroom casserole that he made. I just KNOW it would be heavenly, the taste of the divine melting in my tongue and making me ascend to the lands above

he knows how to take care of himself, like doing stuff like laundry? easy. washing the dishes? he's on it. moping the floor? it's shining already. something about the maturity and domesticity of Jade doing simple house chores with dedication is so charming, I love capable people !!! like yes king your bedroom is wonderfully organized !!

AND HIS TERRARIUM HOBBY? IT'S SO CUTE. the way he looks at his little plants with so much love makes me wish someone looked at me like that too. imagine his concentrated face as he waters his plants and talks with them about his day??? SO ENDEARING. it's the usual stoic character showing his softer and loving side for me. (yes I am well aware he likes his terrariums so much because he likes the feeling of being the God of a little world of his own creation, living by his mercy. I still think it's very cute.)

another thing I love so much is his Mountain Lovers club. like I can genuinely see he cares about it, not to create a false sense of security because "oh look at silly Jade with his silly mountain excursions" but because he truly likes to explore the land's nature. Jade is very curious (as seen in the vignette where he asks Ruggie to teach him new recipes using herbs from the mountains and in several other instances) and there's a whole new world for him to explore, with so much flora and fauna he's never seen before. who wouldn't want to explore it and see all it has to offer?

also the way he's always promoting his club and everyone just thinks it's weird. JADE I'LL JOIN THE MOUNTAIN LOVERS CLUB SIGN ME UP! RIGHT NOW! yes he'd make me climb mountains and laugh as he sees me struggling after I'm five steps in but it will be all worth it.

THERE'S THIS ONE SCENE IN CHAPTER 4 WHICH HE SAYS WHAT HE'D DO SHOULD SOMEONE BETRAY HIM AND HE'S JUST SAYING SOME HORRIFIC NIGHTMARE INDUCING STUFF WITH A CUTE LITTLE SMILE? LIKE? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH KKSKDJSFKKSKSK (I'm pretty sure he was only joking. or maybe that's what he wants me to think. either way it was so funny)

HIS UNIQUE MAGIC IS SO COOL TOO. like. the first time it appeared I just thought "wait this is so shitty you can't do much with it all" BUT. THAT'S THE APPEAL. IT FITS HIM SO WELL!! Jade wouldn't like a UM that gives him easy answers whenever he pleases. no, having to carefully plan when or if he'll ever use it on someone, how to approach them and make them look into his eye without being suspicious, trying to fill the gaps of the info he does get, it's much more exhilarating than having the answers handed on a silver plater!!

ALSO HIS SMILE!!!!!!!!! IT MAKES ME GO FERAL!!!!!! not the fake ass one he's always got, the REAL ones, the ones when you can see his pointy teeth he usually keeps hidden and his eyes crinkled and there's pure joy on his face (like his union birthday groovy card!). they clean my very soul and give me the strenght to live another day

so. as you can see. I'm very normal about him. I like him a normal sane amount.

DYNAMICS

as they are already so captivating on their own, as a part of a dynamic they always have something to offer and can work well with any setting: comic, serious, dramatic, soft, anything really. it's also why it's so fascinanting to write them!

some particularly interesting dynamics I think they have with other characters are:

Azul and JamilI - IT'S SO FUNNY. AZUL ACTS LIKE A MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL WITH A CRUSH AND JAMIL REJECTS HIM EVERYTIME HELPPP. also I think Azul genuinely wants to befriend Jamil as he feels they are similar and could get along well? but Jamil knows all about Azul's schemes and is way too smart to get caught in one of them, no matter how much Azul nags at him

Azul and Idia - THE BOARD GAMES CLUB MY BELOVEDS! on Azul's school uniform vignette their relationship is explored more in depth and it's. so very funny. Idia, despite not having an ounce of the social skills' Azul has trained himself to have, manages to get under his skin so easily. he says a taunt that gets in Azul's mind for DAYS

Azul and Riddle - they are besties. I make the rules and I'm saying they are. as the top of their grade and second year (responsible) housewardens, the two of them have a lot in common and are often paired together, such as in the very beggining of the game, in the prologue as they chase after Grim in the first twistune, and many cards have buddy level and duo magic between them! (like their dorm uniform ones!) a study session with these two would be SO productive

Jade and Ruggie - it might sound a bit unusual but hear me out! they are both my favorites. wait I have more reasons! Jade and Ruggie are very similar, both are vice housewardens (or a pseudo vice housewarden in Ruggie's case, since he might as well be one with how he does stuff in Leona's place), both are very capable and responsible, both are mischievous, both can cook and like to discover new recipes, both are cunning and can be deceitful and there's one scene in the game's 2 year anniversary animated short in which they are shopping at Sam's together, so they are also besties.

Jade and Cater - HEAR ME OUT! first things first, Cater is also so interesting and I feel he has so much potential. in Jade's birthday interview, he answers he would like to have Cater as a brother, which might sound a bit unexpected at first but soon becomes clear as to why! they are similar in the way they both hide their feelings and put a mask on for the public to see, even if their motives are different. Cater also has a cunning side that he shows on the beans day event, in which they form a partnership that was so interesting! I wish they had more interactions, as they both can see straight through each other's masks and play a complicated mind game with each other while also having some fun!

Jade and Vil - I haven't seen the vignette they share but the card is very pretty so I do think their dynamic has a lot of potencial! I think Vil, like me, would appreciate someone who's responsible and can take care of themselves, so someone as capable and (seemibly) reasonable like Jade would be a good break from Rook's and Epel's harsher personalities. I think Jade admires Vil as well, especially due to his poison making skills, and would like to learn from him.

Floyd and Riddle - yes Floyd likes to torment Riddle and oftentimes picks on him to the point he's very stressed, they both get under each other's skin (like when Riddle says Floyd is like his brother because he knew it would irritate him enough to make him leave him alone, in the anthology I think?) and it's such an interesting antagonistic relationship. they are not enemies that hate each other or anything, so it's very amusing to see them quarrel.

Floyd and Ace - the basketball buddies! it's shown that they actually get along pretty well when Floyd is not on one of his bad moods, as they bond over their love of fashion (especifically shoes) and of the sport. they also like to goof around in club pratice and cause Jamil headaches, and Floyd has said in his birthday interview he thinks Ace is entertaining enough to chose him as a brother.

Floyd and Kalim - both are very honest, energetic and excitable, easily surrendering to their whims to do as they please. I feel like Kalim doesn't see any malice in Floyd's words, and while that can be dangerous if he doesn't notice the signs of a bad mood, it could also be very entertaining to Floyd and make him want to spend time getting into shenanigans with him. (and, again, causing Jamil a headache.)

between the three of them, as a trio, they work very well too! Jade enables Floyd chaotic behaviour for his amusement and because, according to him, if Floyd is happy then so is he. Jade helps Azul as his right hand man, covering any blind spots in his steel armor and leading him into battle flawlessly, doing as is asked of him with enough leeway for some of his own entertainment. Floyd gets on Azul's nerves with his carelessness and mood swings, but remains loyal at his side. Floyd likes to go along with some of Jade's plots, staying close to him to the point that where one is, the other is expected to be as well. Azul cares immensely for the twins, his first ever friends, the ones that extended their hands to him and didn't doubt he could do it. they all work together well as an unit, years of familiarity driving them to almost read each other's minds, know how they work from inside out. that's the thing with childhood friends, they know your most embarrassing stories and your deepest fears, your most shameful moments and your best hidden desires, and they care about each other as if they were family. (though they refuse to admit it even under gunpoint).

I hope you know I'm not trying to say any of the octatrio are evil masterminds hiding and waiting to enact a fish world domination or any of that. at the end of the day, they are all highschool students with veeeeery dubious morals that just want to have their fun (even if most times it's not harmless at all). Floyd might squeeze someone until you hear something crack and procced to have touble to do his homework. Jade might manipule Azul's clients to perfection and make them sign shady contracts and then calls his mom to tell her about his day and yes, he's been eating his vegetables and making sure Floyd eats his as well. Azul might run a successful business at the school and earn a lot of money, only to geek out about strategy games at his club with one of the most introverted people of the whole school.

none of them are "soft and misunderstood bois who never did anything wrong uwu" but they also aren't "all of that's evil in the world incarnate into three devious merman who will strip you of all your dignity and leave you crying on the floor"

they are very complex and well written characters filled with more layers than an onion, and I could stay here all day peeling them off one by one. that's the allure of Octavinelle, their siren's song is strongly due to how they look at first glance showing to be wrong once you look deeper, this break of expectations fishing your attention and keeping it on them, wanting to watch just how will they surprise you next.

ALSO there's something I haven't discussed at all in this: their designs. I feel like there's a lot I could talk about that but it doesn't enter exactly in this personality focused analysis so I left it out. do let me know if you'd like me to tell my opinions on their designs or maybe on specific cards as well!

TL;DR: there's no way to sum up everything other than I'm insane about Octavinelle and have many thoughts about them

Extra: Jade's fact sheet, that I've rebloged once before as I think it's very interesting, Azul's fact sheet, Raven's Jade brainrot that I also agree on most parts, Jade laugh compilation that is one of my favorite videos in youtube and will add 10 years to your lifespan

#HOW THEY HUG YOU

featuring; every twst boy 

ACE TRAPPOLA hugs you like he can’t afford to lose you. each hug with ace is tighter than your last and warmer than anything you’ve ever felt before. ace likes to lift you up when he hugs you, squeezing you so hard you have to whack his back to release you. will hug you as a hello, a goodbye, a how are you, literally will hug you for Any Given Reason.

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS hugs you like a wooden plank. at first. he’s stiff and sore in all the wrong places as he awkwardly wraps his arms around you, one around your back and one on your shoulder as he taps your back repeatedly. feels like your 97 year old grandpa with back problems the first time he hugs you. as time goes on, and he gets used to your constant physical touch, he starts melting into your hugs. enjoys burying his head in your neck as he tells you about his day. 

DEUCE SPADE hugs you like a sweetheart. his hugs are soft and welcoming, and feel like home. always blushes when he hugs you- it’s a tradition at this point. although deuce prefers hand holding over hugging, he will never hesitate to drop everything to embrace you. literally. will drop all of his books if you hug him in the middle of the halls.

Ok i raise to you though jade when he crushes talks to his mushrooms about said crush as well as maybe azul and floyd on occasion send help to them cause he probably doesn’t stop

HI ANON!! I'M. SHAKING YOU BY THE SHOULDERS RN. YOU'RE SOOO RIGHT!!!!!

he'd have a very soft smile and his eyes would look so gentle as he'd whisper about something his crush did that day... such a vulnerable moment...

tho when he talks with Floyd and Azul, I feel he'd be bragging about them? like, still with his mushy feelings yes but in a less vulnerable lovesick way and more in a "my crush is so cool look at what they did, bet you wish you had a crush cool like that too huh" way. because he's a little shit like that. Azul and Floyd know how much affection he holds for them from the sheer amount of times he's mentioned them in conversation in the past two hours. they are planning an intervention asap.

Hi! If it’s okay with you, can I request headcanons for Malleus finding out his s/o wants to break up with him because they feel they aren’t good enough for him?

No tender words ward off the dark.

Malleus Draconia x reader headcanons (slight angst, happy ending, set after the ghost bride event no main story spoilers)

wc: 1.2k

authors note: I ended up twisting this a little bit because it’s not full on angst? also this was not intended to be this long but things happen I guess ! not beta read.

“Well Malleus just can’t marry off anybody, ghosts included.” Once the words leave Lilia’s mouth you’re left stunned. Of course it should be a relief now there’s no chance that Eliza would be marrying your boyfriend, but now that you think about it, would there even be any future with your boyfriend?

Cue the worst train of thoughts you’ve had in your life. Anxiety bubbles in your stomach every time you even look towards Malleus, your brain hurts just even thinking about the consequences. Maybe Lilia was just talking out of his side to protect Malleus, yes that must be it!

Of course that dark pit never refuses to leave you and the worries build up and up until they finally explode one night. It’s late and you unfortunately can’t take it anymore, there’s no concrete proof that Malleus will refuse to be with you simply because of your status as a citizen. Plenty of royals from where you’re from have gotten married to plain old commoners. However can the same be said for Twisted Wonderland?

With that last sentence echoing in your mind you set off on a mission. Malleus already gives you little tiblets on what Fae culture is like as well as some history on Briar Valley however it’s not enough, not enough to satisfy the ever consuming hunger that’s now ripping apart your body.

Days and days on end are spent held up in the school library researching all you can trying to get a glimpse if Lilia’s words hold any weight. Nothing provides a concrete answer.

Your friends; namely Ace, Deuce and Grim start noticing that you’ve been spending less and less time with them and especially with Malleus. Despite how much those three do not take notice of anything at all they’re starting to see the signs of your restlessness.

You wave them off with a hand, studying for upcoming exams, a lot of work to do considering the circumstances in which you stumbled upon twisted wonderland. Thankfully they seem to buy it, others however not so much.

Unfortunately for you Lilia is far too wise for his seemingly young age to not notice your deterring state, he pauses on the thought for a while unsure on whether to pull you about it.

It isn’t until Malleus begins to express his worries over you and when he then finds you hunched over what looks to be about five books on the culture of Briar Valley.

Okay he’s definitely let this go on far too long.

Immediately rushes to Malleus and tells him about the scene he’s just saw, urges Malleus to go and try to talk about what is going on. Of course Malleus then spends the next hour rehearsing the things that he plans to say to you as well as how to coerce you to even talking to him.

All that Malleus knows and understands is that you’ve been ignoring him for weeks now and all of a sudden Lilia has found you buried in five volumes of books on Briar Valley’s history.

Malleus is stumped as to what you could even be researching so hard.

The dorm thinks and thinks but they really can’t seem to put their finger on it. Sebek goes with the idea that you really did just want to learn about the amazing land as well as brush up on your incredibly lacking knowledge of the Draconia family. Malleus shoots this down, bringing up your talks together.

Silver is mostly at a loss opting to go with the route of thinking about what’s happened in the past couple of weeks for this bout of isolation from you.

It isn’t until Lilia’s face perks up that he realises what the source of your sadness is. A mischievous expression appears on his face as he does his signature laugh, Malleus of course notices this confusion written all over his face.

Lilia brings Malleus in close and starts to whisper in his ears, soon the whispering dies down and Lilia’s words finally set into Malleus’ brain which causes a deep laugh to arise out of him. Sebek cheers Malleus on loudly, Silver can only sigh at the migraine he’s about to get.

We need to talk.

The message is daunting but you’ve been expecting it nonetheless, taking a deep breath you type your reply.

Yes I agree. Meet outside ramshackle?

You don’t get a verbal answer only seeing the green light sparks that surround the outside of your rundown dorm.

“Malleus.” Your voice quivers and is quaint, he’s missed it so much. He wants to hold you and never let you go; but that look in your eyes tells him that you’re slipping from him with every second.

You allow him to bring a hand to your cheek which cups it gently, you nuzzle into his cheek however you don’t allow the sensation to last long when you push yourself away from him.

You turn away from him, tears in your eyes. Your name is spoken softly from his mouth much like how the tears roll down your face.

“We can’t be together no more,” you say this and Malleus is very confused. He's waiting for you to explain but you don’t.

He tries to find the words that will tangle him out of this mess yet he finds that his own body betrays him, the silver in his pocket burns.

“I don’t understand,” he finally murmurs out. “Have I done something wrong?” You quickly turn towards him, shaking your head furiously.

“No of course not I-I was just thinking about our future and—“ you pause, he allows you to continue— “The heir to Briar Valley needs a suitable partner! Not some commoner who doesn’t even know how to use magic.” Your voice hiccups as the words blurt out all at once. Malleus stands there stunned.

“Which is why I think it’s best for us to go our separate ways, I don’t want to bring you down.” You sniffle once again, the tears rushing out of you like a waterfall staining your cheeks.

“Why on earth would you think that?” There’s no anger in Malleus’ voice but there’s a hurt, a deep kind of hurt, tone in his voice as he dabs away your tears. He sighs.

“It’s true that I as the Briar Valley’s heir would be betrothed to another, however things have changed now.

Briar Valley may be traditional in the way it presents itself however the time for evolution and change is upon us; that change starts with me and—“ he reaches into his pocket and then gets down on one knee. He speaks your name and then finally reveals what is in his hand.

“Well what did you say!?” Ace rudely interrupts which causes you to frown.

“Don’t interrupt me!” You shout at him, trying to wack at him but failing to do so. “I said no.” The first year’s faces all start to twist before they start shouting at you.

“Weren’t you just really upset over it though, I don’t understand,” Jack says and you shrug.

“I never said I wanted to marry him now, I was just considering the long term effects.” None of them really seem to get it but they’re glad you’re back to your somewhat normal state again.

“So what did ya do with the ring?” Epel asks, eyes big and peering. Your hand dives inside of your school shirt and fishes out a silver ring that’s tied around a chain.

“It’s a reminder,” you say, a soft smile on your lips. You play with the ring, twirling it around your fingers with a soft and dreamy look in your eyes.

The first years are incredibly confused, Ace starts to gag.

hihi Sleepy, welcome!! may I ask for some fluffy general romantic relationship headcanons with Octavinelle? or if you'd prefer to write for only one character per time, just Jade is fine!

Azul Ashengrotto & Jade Leech Fluff HCs

[i’m so sorry anon, but I couldn’t get any inspiration for Floyd. if you want him as well, feel free to send in another request. i hope you don’t mind! this is my first time ever writing TWST x reader, so please excuse me if anything seems OOC.]

Azul Ashengrotto

oh man

you mean so much to this octopus, you have no idea

someone who genuinely likes him for who he is and praises him with no ulterior motive?? boy howdy he is DEEP in love

enjoys taking you on dates whenever he has the free time

relaxing walks, a romantic dinner date in his lounge, or even cuddling together (although he gets quite flustered whenever you convince him to do this)

lowkey tries to keep you away from the tweels because he knows they’re gonna tease and embarass him to no end

may or may not have tried to get you to work at Mostro Lounge once

but only once!! he was just a tad bit understaffed at the time, and who better to ask for help than his beloved, capable partner?

he might not seem like it, but he REALLY loves hearing your praise

any kind of genuine compliment will make his heart flutter, even if he acts all smug on the outside

and if you praise his octopus form…

cue happy and flustered Azul who isn’t used to people liking his mer form, except for the tweels who just comment on how tasty-looking he is

don’t worry, he’ll be sure to repay your kindness with free meals at Mostro Lounge and cuddle nights <3

Jade Leech

where do I even begin?

this man looks at you the same way he looks at his mushrooms

it’s not easy to win this particular eel’s heart

but he ADORES you, and everything about you

be prepared for hiking trips and long talks about mushrooms

if you ever stop by Mostro Lounge and he’s your waiter…

oh boy

I hope you’re ready for quite a bit of flirting~

he’s surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly) protective of you, and will literally scare away anyone who dares to mess with you

as much of a dork he can be, he’s still THE Jade Leech, and won’t hesitate to resort to drastic measures for your sake

people often question whether or not his love for you is real

if you’re worried, he assures you that it is, and any doubts are instantly washed away when he gently holds your hand and gives a heartfelt speech on everything he loves about you

which is just about everything

your voice, your looks, your personality…

he’s most honest when he’s with you

Floyd is happy with you too, mainly because his brother is finally giving his mushrooms to someone besides him

all in all, 10/10 would recommend having Jade as a boyfriend :)
