Your gateway to endless inspiration
Thinking about writing a singer Yuu fic. Who sings sad songs about her past and stuff. Maybe they participate in the sing dance competition or something. Just been listening to sad songs and am feeling the angst. What do you guys think?
Edit: will probably post it on ao3, but may cross post in the future.
Game spoilers ahead!
Yuu as Edith, who got sent to twisted wonderland after exploring her old house.
Yuu, like in the game, is in early-mid pregnancy.
I'm going with Game theoryβs Theory that most of the deaths were made up by Edie.
This yuu probably had no problem living in Ramshackle, given how unstable her old house was.
Yuu likes sitting under a tree and sketching her friends.
She didn't tell anyone she was pregnant until she was showing, but a few of the professors, beastmen, Lilia and Sam figured it out beforehand.
I see that Twisted Wonderland is winning, I'm both scared and excited at the same time, because I just finished The Red rose Tyrant, but I'm confident I know most of the characters personality, and I've watched some game plays, that being said, if Twisted Wonderland wins, who would you want to be your love interest? Maybe more than one, maybe you want it to focus on a certain dorm, or you just want it to be Platonic, I'm making the oneshot gender neutral so both girls and boys can read it.

How bout a second part to the angsty floyd and jade hcs? Like after some time they realize they are indeed in love with reader but they have moved on, maybe how would the twins try to win them back if thats not too much ππ
Of course darling!! Today we are on a love mood, lets see what these eels have on their heads!!
If you don't know their are asking for a second part of this
Jade Leech
It was hard for him to realize this, since he was the one who insisted so much on you being boring to him.
But your sweetests memories goes back to haunt him day and night. Even he finds himself following shadows that look alike your figure on Octavinelle. Or looking you in the campus.
One night he couldn't sleep he realised this; He had never stop falling in love from you.
Even if you were "boring" he still loved you. Maybe he had to talk about it, say how he felt after breaking up with you.
Then so, the day after this, he goes to talk with you after your classes, but he finds another picture he didn't like...
You were hanging around with your friends like normal, but Deuce and you looked different. And then he noticed how he looked at you and took your hand.
There was someone in love with you. Even if he was right there to apologize, a little flower bouquet in hand, you didn't mind.
βJade, you don't have to. I understand now, the relationship was something stopping you... We can be friends!β
Those words break his heart in pieces.
Maybe this was.. what you felt when he said you were boring... And even so, you forgive him...
He left the bouquet with you and walked away.
You were going to love him. If this feelings are still on you and not in that Deuce.
His smooth way to win your heart is easy! He becomes your friend again and gift you sweet things that makes you remember the sweet times with him. He compliments you more and decided to talk more with you. Taking note of everything you say. Attentive to you like he used to be.
One day he gave you a small mushroom trinket. It had your favorite color! And then, he admitted everything.
βY/n, i may not be in the place to ask for a second chance, but let me talk. I never stopped loving you, i was such a horrible boyfriend for what i have done. I don't expect you to come back to my arms, yet you have given me only forgiveness. Thank you for that. If you still feel the same... My arms are open.β
If you hug him and cry, saying that this is all you wanted, he will promise to be a better boyfriend, talking his feelings instead of acting like an animal!- Or Floyd!
If you reject him, he will accept it and try to move on to became your best pal ever. Maybe you two are better as friends and staying like this isn't a bad option :)
Probably supports you on your Deuce relationship if you go after him.
Floyd Leech
He still tought he didn't like you anymore. He was in totally denial since he didn't think of you as entertaining.
But oh boy, he tought of you every second of the day. Soon his normal activities always had Floyd saying this line;
βIf y/n was here they would do this and that...β
Yeah, he think of what would you do when he was just drinking water or training in the basketball club.
The imagines of you supporting him and helping him stood with him, and soon, he found himself loving you like always.
Guess little shrimpy never bored him, huh.
The moment he realised this, he jumped to get you two back together but..
He found you hanging around with your friends like usual, laid down in the grass and looking at the sky while saying stupid things. But the person that looked you in a different way, like with almost heart eyes, was Ace.
He was at your side, hand by hand, he didn't like this at all. He stood besides you two and talked.
βHeh, crab, get away from what is mine, shoo shoo i have to talk with little shrimpy hereβ
You two looked in confusion but you took the word
βFloyd, it's okay. I get it. Our relationship was boring and got nowhere. I don't feel bad right now, i kinda left it in the past. We can be friends!β
WHAT WAS THAT BULLSHIT??? HUH??? EXCUSE ME???
He looks so confused specially when you still talk with that stupid crab about helping him study. YOU SHOULD HELP HIM, NOT THAT USELESS CRAB.
He lefts the place and decided to get help from Azul and Jade. They say how to get your heart back but he just takes what he thinks is useful.
So at the next day in class you encounter a small gift very bad wrapped and a note that was obviously from Floyd. You take it not even opening, but putting it on your backpack. Floyd sees this as a fail.
So he still try it. Going full speed hugging you, leaving you gift, talking bad about Ace and you being a "couple" and being so damn OBVIOUS.
In the end, you take him to talk about his temper these days.
Like fr one day you saw Ace flying far away from a kick that Floyd gave him wtf.
So he confessed;
βWell, well, shrimpy~ Thing is, you aren't boring anymore. I noticed that little shrimpy can be boring sometimes, but even in those moments, i still see little shrimpy as a beautiful partner! What i mean, is that maaaaybe we can be together again, if shrimpy wants so~ But, really. I still like you.β
Now, if you accept him and hug him, he will laugh and hug back as tight as he can; He makes up to you by treating you like his best "toy". Taking you everywhere in his shoulder. Of course you two talked about it more seriousness!!! And he apologized in the Floyd-style. But he did.
But, if you say that you prefer him as a friend and you really feel something for Ace.... He will not take it very well.
He will become aggressive and silent, he will criticize every part of that stupid crab and how he will eat it. You walk away in terror of his eyes and his words.
He wouldn't talk to you again, not even to pass the page.
Probably you talk to him and if he's behaving well, he accept into being friends. If not, you two just... Drift apart.
A little sad here huh
Hope you liked this answer!!! It was very funny to write it! I loved it lol Request more once the request box is open again

Ok After Watching The Little Mermaid (Classic Ver.) I remember Ursula Disguises herself as Vanessa to trick Eric that she saved him from drowning and who sang for him when he woke up after being unconscious
Then Poses to Marry Eric to Prevent Ariel from succeeding the Spell to be Human
Now here's an Idea:
Yandere Azul Ashengrotto x Fem. MC x Prince Rielle (The Little Mermaid/Merman AU)
Prince Rielle Longed to join the Surface World and Bond with the Humans Above the Ocean of Twisted Wonderland
That is until he get's Offered to Attend RSA as a Student along with his Friends (Twst ver. Of the Disney Princess) although His Father (King Triton) doesn't fully agree to this and in Frustration Rielle swims off to the Surface there He Meets MC on a Small Cruise Ship with her Fellow NRC friends having a Spring Break Party (Kinda Like how Eric was Celebrating his Birthday but this is the First Day of Spring and perfect for a Cruise Party)
With the Young Prince now curious of the Female Student he wanted to learn more about her (or as you can say it was Love at First Sight) and what would it be like to be Part of Her World.
Unfortunately Someone on the Other Hand has taken interest in the Female Prefect . . . Azul Ashengrotto . . . he sought to make MC his Promised but Notices Rielle Snooping in that case gave Azul the very key for his plan to achieve
During the Party a Great Storm Emerged and Ruined the Celebration, MC nearly put her Life on the Line to save her Friends that is Until She had to Go back and save her Furry Grey Companion, Grim from being Trapped in the Flames. After Successfully saving Grim, The Boat's Supply of Fireworks was set off with MC still on the Ship exploded leaving the Survivng Students on the Life Boats in Shocked
Rielle feeling the need to do something he had to save her from Drowning
As the Dawn rose yet the sky filled with soft grey clouds, Rielle brought MC back to shore not leaving her side worried that she might not wake up, but faintly he could hear her Breathing and a Sigh of relief escaped from Rielle mouth as he then was enchated by MC's Beauty as she lays Unconscious and he then Sings his new Dream to be Part of Her World
The Group then Later finds MC on Shore, relieved as they can be the First Years Tackled MC in a Tight hug Happy that she was Ok. MC then starts to Say how there was a Boy who Saved her and how He Sang so Beautifully. The Bois thought she was Imagining things or being Delusional or she probably Drank too much Sea Water (Lol)
Except for Azul who knew exactly What MC was Referring to . . . which gave him an Idea for a Boy who always had an eye for a Bargain
To Make this Short, Azul then had Rielle visit the Monstro Lounge to make a Deal with him. Helping Him to Turn into a Human to both to Attend RSA and Meet the Female Prefect only for 3 Days but Can Succeed if He Kisses her through True Love. If she Doesn't Kiss her then He Turns Back to a Merman and be trapped in the Monstro Lounge as a Fish in a Tank Serving the Entertainment as a Decoration (& Azul will have MC all to Himself). Payment would be for Rielle to Give up his Voice and rely on other ideas to communicate with MC and his Friends in RSA
As Rielle enjoys his Time at RSA making New Friends and Meeting MC and visiting The Village to Bond more they both Almost Kissed (Kiss the Girl Scene) but Unfortunately failed after being knocked over from the Leech Twins who followed them to prevent Rielle from Succeeding. Leaving Azul to take matters into his own hands and using Rielle's Voice and a Disguises himself (Like Vanessa but a Male ver. Brown Hair, Purple Amethyst Eyes, and his Seashell Necklace that holds Rielle's voice).
His Name would be Victor π
MC Standing outside of Ramshackle late at Night hoping that she wasn't mistaken that a Boy really did save her, considered the Lighter Side of the Whole Experience and Considers her feelings for Rielle and decides to Sleep on it and meet with him in the Morning.
But then Hears a Voice Singing exactly the same as the One who saved her from Drowning she then looks around and sees a Figure standing close to the Lake near Ramshackle. His Hair Softly Flows in the Night Breeze as he slowly Looks back at MC making Eye Contact with his Piercing Amethyst Eyes as he Sings and a Golden Hue Glows Brightly in the Night entrancing MC in a Spell
Soooo There's that & I Hope someone Writes a Story about this Idea & I give full permission to use this Idea as long you Credit me
Thanks For Reading and I hope you Enjoyed!!ππ
This is a continuation of the Desire request made by this anon!! Scarabiaβs one is coming out later!! I hope you this scenario reaches your expectations! Thank you for reading and have a lovely day!
Azul Ashengrotto
You were visiting Mostro Lounge one day because a certain furball was craving one of their special drinks and he was pestering you all day to get one. You finally caved in after the 1999th time the furball has mentioned about Mostro Loungeβs lovely delicacies.
Since you had saved up your madol and you and Grim both got pretty good results from the latest exams, you figured it was a good way to celebrate by treating yourself and Grim to a meal.
Your orders had just arrived at your table and the two of you began to enjoy your food.
βGrim, chew slowly, no need to rush things.β You said to Grim who was munching down on his food like a madman. You laughed and shook your head before going back to eat, when all of a sudden you heard a voice call out to you.
βWhy, if it isnβt (Y/N)!β You looked up from your food to see the dorm leader of Octavinelle standing in front of your table.
βAzul-senpai!β You responded to him with a smile.
βMind if I take a seat beside you?β He asked and you shook your head, signaling that it was okay for him to sit beside you.
βYou usually donβt come here often.β Azul said as he sat next to you. βWhatβs the special occasion?β He asked.
βAh! Well, me and Grim got some pretty good results on last monthβs exams! So, I figured to come here to treat the two of us as a job well done.β You smiled to him.
βI see, then congratulations to the two of you.β Azul said, an idea popping into his head as he did. βPerhaps you would like a little reward for your hard work.β He said with a small smirk on his face.
βHmm? Little reward? Azul-senpai, you donβt have to.β You smiled to your upperclassman, going back to enjoying your food, but a hand had caught your chin and made you turn to look at Azul.
βOh, but you do.β Azul said, his free hand travelling to the back of your waist, pulling you closer to him.
βAfter all, it is a rare sight to see you here and enjoying yourself.β The hand on your chin pulled your face closer to his, your lips were about a millimeter away from each other.
It just takes a little more for the two of you to ki-
βAzul.β
Azul immediately froze in his tracks, you peeked over his body to see a very familiar second year standing behind the two of you.
βJade-senpai!β You called out and the upperclassman responded with a closed-eye smile.
βLovely to see you here today (Y/N).β He replied to you. βAnd Azul, there are customers waiting for you in the VIP lounge, might I suggest you head on over immediately?β Jade continued with a hint of menace towards his dorm leader.
βA-Ah, yes, right, well, have a lovely time here (Y/N).β Azul said to you and left, slightly grumpy and grumbling as he went past his vice dorm leader.
Jade Leech
βGoodbye Azul-senpai, take care!β You waved to your upperclassman as Jade took Azulβs seat beside you.
βFufufu, (Y/N), you must eat your food before it gets cold.β Jade reminded you.
βAh! Youβre right, I was too busy wondering what Azul-senpai had meant by a little reward that I forgot my food.β You said and took a bite out of your dish. Jade simply let out a smile.
βI see, so, from what I have heard, you and Grim had gotten excellent results in the recent tests?β Jade questioned you and you nodded.
βWell, congratulations to the two of you.β Jade said and watched the two of you eat for a little while. He noticed that you were struggling with your dish.
βFufufu, (Y/N), do you need some help?β Once those words left Jadeβs lips, you immediately froze up, sighing internally.
βY-Yesβ¦β You stuttered, embarrassed of yourself for not being able to eat a dish properly. Although, Iβm pretty sure itβs the students who cooked it too well done. Yes, Dear Reader-san, I am on your side on this and I blame the Octavinelle students for this.
So, you let Jade take your utensils and help you with your dish, you stared in awe as Jade managed to dice the tough meat into tiny little pieces. Jade then sets down the knife and uses the fork to pick up a small piece of meat.
βJade-senpai? Whatβre you doing?β You asked, confused with your upperclassmanβs actions at the moment. You immediately silenced yourself as Jade let his fingers of his free hand reach your chin and gently lifted your head slightly upwards.
βOh, nothing much, I just wanted to let you try our dish without having you go through any hassle.β Jade said with a gentle smile, yet, he was slowly leaning in towards you and you were slowly being pulled towards him.
You hadnβt noticed that Jade had already set down the fork as the two of you continued to lean in towards each other, your lips were closer than ever. Jade opened his mouth slightly to mutter out the following words:
βSay βAhββ¦β
βAHH!β A new voice appeared, leaving you and Jade in shock.
βKOEBI-CHAN!β And before you knew it, you were being pulled away by the twin brother of Jade.
βWhy didnβt you tell us you were visiting?β Floyd continued to question you as the two of your walked further away from your table, leaving a dumbstruck Jade and Grim behind.
Floyd Leech
βKoebi-chan, next time youβre visiting, you should really tell us!β Floyd said as he dragged you around Mostro Lounge.
βAlright Floyd-senpai! Iβll be sure to give you a heads up next time!β You smiled and said.
βHmm, what should we do first?β Floyd asked as he looked around.
βWell, we could go back and let me finish my food?β You told your upperclassman, the only thing on your mind at that moment was your unfinished food.
βEhh? But itβs not fun!β Floyd said with a frown, the upperclassman continued to look around, trying to find something to do with you, after all, it was truly rare to see you at Mostro Lounge. It didnβt take Floyd too long to think of an idea.
βAh!! I know! We should go for a swim!β Floyd suggested to you with a smile.
βBut Floyd-senpai, arenβt you supposed to be working right now?β You asked.
βAhh~ Azul and Jade wonβt notice if weβre gone for a little bit.β Floyd said to you with a grin and continued to drag you towards the exit. βPlus, you promised that youβd go on a swim with me koebi-chan~β The upperclassman continued.
You guys began to head towards the exit of Mostro Lounge at full speed, due to Floyd being tall, your legs were having a slightly hard time trying to catch up with Floyd. Surprisingly, Floyd had noticed this.
βAhahah! Koebi-chan is trying so hard!β Floyd laughed and stopped running, you pouted to him in response.
βOf course, your legs are longer than mine, your walking equals to me running.β You explained to your upperclassman. You were about to ask him to let you go back to your table so you could finish your food when you felt an arm on your back and another arm on your legs, and before you knew it, you were being lifted into the air.
You let out a small gasp as you come face-to-face with Floyd.
βHahahaha! Koebi-chan is so light!β Floyd said, looking at you. The smile on his face slowly vanished as he continued making eye-contact with you, his face slowly leaned into yours as his hands on your figure tightened their grip on you and pulled you closer to him.
It was only a matter of time before-
βFloyd, what are you doing?β A very familiar voice was heard. You turned to the source of the voice to see Jade.
βLetβs get back to work before Azul comes back.β Jade said to his brother in a stern tone.
βEhhh? But I havenβt played with koebi-chan!!β Floyd whined, hugging you closer to him.
βAzul would not be pleased to hear about this. Now, come, we must go back to work.β Jade said with a strict look on his face. Floyd let out a sigh as he saw the stern look on Jadeβs face.
βFineβ¦β Floyd said and gently let you down from his hold.
βThatβs better.β Jade said and turned to you with a smile. βSo sorry about that (Y/N), weβll be off now, enjoy your food.β Jade continued and did a small bow at you before going back to tending the customers of Mostro Lounge with his brother.
βAlright, good luck Jade-senpai and Floyd-senpai!β You wished them as you slowly went back to your table to finally enjoy your precious food.
i find it so endearing that, biologically speaking, green moray eels does not give a single DAMN about their young ones from birth until they grow up. they just lay eggs and leave them somewhere until they hatch. while this may have happened to the leech twins considering jade and floyd's implications during halloween, i loooove how involved their parents are in their lives. like sure they were probably left somewhere to hatch/birth while georgina and her husband had to do other stuff but growing up??? they love their parents so much because of how affectionate jade and floyd are to each other as brothers π₯Ήπ₯Ή
to think they're not ashamed of talking about their parents, to even brag about their behaviors is just peak familial bond to me because i'm fascinated by ocean life and biology JAMDJAKKDKW GEORGINAAAA YOU RAISED TWO FINE GENTLEMEN
even with the concept of fish mafia family, georgina would prioritize her kids π― ππππππ and the fact the twins are good with kids too please bury me alive
PROPS TO THE OTHER TWST PARENTS TOO???? (except mrs. r*s*he*rts who tf are you) THEY'RE SO INVOLVED IN THEIR KIDS LIVES (even meleanor!!!) THAT THESE BOYS WOULD GO HOME AND SPEND TIME WITH THEMW JDJWNFKWKFKWKKFKE SOSOSOSOOS SOFT FOR THIS π₯Ήπ₯Ήπ₯Ή each parent is so well written that you can feel and see how it resonated to their sons hnnngh sOBBING
Whoever wrote that Georgina Leechβs phone number is the special menu item of the week, you will be identified and dealt with.

bro i dont think they gaf
Is he chubby or just squishy.
You KNOW they are bestie, true to the 7 best friends forever.
The Tweels have joked about ditching Azul if he gets boring but I know that's not true they care about him too much.
I had fun with this. Cramming 2 eels and an octopus in an octopot, look at them they're so happy!
Don't mind me as I make myself at home in this rabbit hole called Twisted Wonderland.
I keep modifying my MC Mailo(he/him)
He comes back to Twisted Wonderland, fully able to use magic. I have an indepth overly detailed back story and forward story for this lad, so I'm only gaving that snippet.
If anyone is interested? Feel free to ask questions.
now that i finished octavinelle's episode, i'm going to dedicate my time in finally creating my oc !!! hasdjsjs i'm actually excited hgngngnng
Hi hi its the curious anon again from the jade and azul ask !!,HEHR PLEASE DONT APOLOGIZE FOR THE LENGTHY,I love reading long posts so I enjoyed it very much and I loved reading it!!,you honestly had me going /YES YEA THIS/ the whole way through π and if you wanna go off about their designs plea please do!! π₯Ί,
I dont have too many thoughts to share /myself/ however except maybe a silly one thats a lil shippy on how floyd would call is s/o their actual name and flipflop between the sea animal nickname and actual name cause of the theory that he usually calls those he respects/are close to their names n so on-
HII CURIOUS ANON, I'm glad you liked my lenghty thoughts on them! since you've given me the go ahead, I'll take up your offer and talk a bit about their Dorm Uniform designs! (I didn't include Azul's overblot or any other clothes to focus on these especific ones, but perhaps another time!)
oh, before I start, yes I agree with that! I believe you're refering to this post regarding Floyd's nicknames, and I agree with it! like he does with Azul and Jade, the people he's truly close with and respects he would call by their actual name, not one of his nicknames. although I'm very attached to shrimpy as I find it very cute and I'd kind of miss it if he dropped it altogether, so I like the idea of him varying between it and his S/O's name!
fun fact: I like to draw occasionally, so character design is something I have a lot of interest in!
now, let's get this started, yes?
I feel like my thoughts go along with the general consensus of their designs, but sometimes even the obvious should be stated, so I'll say everything in my mind!
AZUL
I have a confession to make. I'm easily attracted by anime characters with white hair. I KNOOOOW IT'S SUCH A COMMON TROPE AND I FALL FOR IT EVERYTIME, HOOK, LINE AND SINKER. so him having his gray-ish hair color is already a positive point in my books. differently from Ursula, his hair is not wild and free, but rather very well kept, tamed and wavy! (and difficult to draw, lmao. the notes in the 2020 visual book make a comment on how it's important to make an outline before drawing it, or else the right side can come out too big)
even with it's difficulty, I think the little strand that's just a tad longer and curls following his face, reminiscing of a tentacle, is just so charming, it's a nice little detail that makes all the difference! another thing you can't really see it's that he has AN UNDERCUT!! WHICH IS SO COOL!! I miss the time I used to have an undercut too.
the choice of giving him glasses but not the twins is a bit ironic, since octopi don't have much of a bad vision at all, meanwhile eels are almost blind. (I think they use contact lenses. just imagine Floyd forgetting his and he can't see anything and he's just. confused.) I think it's most likely to make him fit even more in the stereotypical "smart and cunning anime character" profile. it miiight have been a reference to the darker shade around Ursula's eyes, but I honestly doubt it. they do fit quite nicely, so I'm not complaining at all!
one thing I like about his eyebrows are how expressive they are, which brings Ursula's eyebrows to mind! they seem to have very similar expressions in that sense, as the drawing of him with a mean grin and arched eyebrows is reminiscent of Ursula's expression! his eyes aren't half lidded like hers tho, a difference that pops out very clearly if you compare both pics of them looking straight ahead while smiling. Ursula's seem more menacing, as if she's up to no good, while Azul's is more polite.
I loooove the mole near his mouth, mirroring Ursula's, it's so charming!! and I don't know if you've ever stared at his lips before but. look. they are very glossy and they SHINE, his mouth looks amazing, he might not pass on Ursula's birght red lipstick but he DEFINETLY has lip balm at least
now let's look at his drip. Octavinelle's dorm uniform makes an homage to the Sea Witch's elegant style, using a stylish combination of suits in more neutral tones, either in black and white or in shades of purple and gray, making a reference for her lavander skin tone and purple tentacles.
look I'm gonna be honest. I don't know what's up with the fedora. the iconic shell is a nice touch, but why must he wear a fedora? he could look professional and mature without it!! I am. not the biggest fan of hats. AND HIS HAIR LOOKS SO PRETTY WHY MUST HE HIDE IT
the bowtie I think it's a bit silly, but that might be because it's not common at all here where I live. I've only seen normal ties, so for me it might have looked better with one (not in this purple shade tho, maybe in a more muted tone of it. I do like the contrast of color against the white). I also don't see much what's the point of the grey scarf but it does help him look fancy, though the Octavinelle crest on it makes it look a bit like Harry Potter merch
as he's the housewarden, he gets a special long coat that does make him look a bit like a mafia boss, especially because he's not actually wearing it, only having it drapped over his shoulders. (or perhaps it's the bowtie. was that why it was there all along!?) and the white gloves? it's very snazzy and suspicious at the same time, but I can see the elegance of hiding your hands as if you're a victorian maiden hiding your ankles and shoulders to preserve your modesty.
the cane is SO COOL. I don't think he uses it for anything other than looking intimidating but's it's so cool. maybe it helped him to get used to walking with only two legs (adapting from eight to two must have been hard) when he started his first year and he's kept it. his shoes are pretty normal, expected even, BUT WHY ARE HIS SOCKS NEON PURPLE. I know it's to match his silly mafioso bow tie BUT WHY.
JADE
I'll start with things that will apply to Floyd as well, but I only want to say it once
Flotsam and Jetsam are... not the prettiest around. I'd say they are very far from it, even. Which only surprises me more that the twins look SO GOOD when they were based off of this??
as a reference to the moray eels, Ursula's beloved pets and minions, the twin's hair follow their color scheme, teal in it's majority with a dark gray stripe, and each have one yellow eye that helps to differentiate from which eel they were inspired by. their merman forms also make reference to them, as their tails are quite similar and they have fins and gills, which is not something the merman in the Little Mermaid used to have.
thankfully, for everyone's happiness, their physical similarities end there.
JADE TIME!! I have another confession to make: I also love character's with hair that has more than one color. I'M NOT TOO HARD TO PLEASE ALRIGHT!
Jade's hair is very unusual and at first glance might even look strange, a mix of color and shapes in an already complicated design. I think it plays along well with him, the little J shaped strand of hair hugs his face and calls attention to it, breaking the monotony from his otherwise short hair and balancing it's color out. the way his side bang is cut in such an angular and sharp way gives it such a nice shape, and I like how his hair is well kept and brushed! (differently from Azul's, his hair is a pleasure to draw, as I sometimes find myself doodling it at the corner of my books, absentmindedly)
THE SHAPE OF HIS EYEBROWS !!! they also feel quite angular and pointed, different from Floyd's, which compliment his eye shape very well. AND HIS EYES?? I could look into then all day. the way they are sharp and pass the feeling of his witty personality, they are angled upwards and give him an alluring sense, his upper lashes are fuller and give a cutting look to his eyes, the little eyebags (?) under them breaking the lightness of his skin and adding some color around them, even his eyelid fold helps to create such a charming gaze. I LOVE THE HETEROCHROMIA!! they aren't wildly constrasting, like I commonly see, but rather a duller tone of the other, which is how it usually happens in real life! such a polite look and by it's shape alone you can tell there's something behind it, something sharp enough to almost break the surface.
even his nose differs from Floyd's, as it feels a little softer and round ended, less curved and more of a straight line. I love these little spot the differences games, while they might seem like such minor details, they come along to create a bigger picture that differentiates the twins and each is their own person very well, not only with their body language but also by their appearence!!
OH AND HIS LIPS. I know I know it's the art style but still. the way his bottom lip is so full and shiny?? the way the corners of his mouth curl upwards just so. the carefully constructed politeness. how he rarely shows his teeth to keep the more harmless appearence, only letting them be seen if he's trying to intimidate someone or if he's actually happy. the dangers of his sharp teeth hiding like a shark under the waves !!!!!!
AND JADE'S EARRING! like on Floyd, it's such a dynamic little shape and gives them a bit of a more approachable look? and then you discover how they even got it in the first place LMAOOO. wait, let me give some context: on Usrula's spell, she says "Beluga Sevruga, Come winds of the Caspian Sea!" what does that mean? beluga is a variety of caviar (and of the more expensive ones), and it's harvested from the Sevruga sturgeon, native from the Caspian Sea. the story of how the twins got those earrings is that they won a fight against a sturgeon and kept the scales as a prize, so really even their cute little silly earrings are indicative of how dangerous they can be and how they like to flaunt that around LOL. in story they are also mentioned to be known as a good luck charm, due to being a popular ingredient in the Sea Witch's potions. it's such a nice reference! and it also implies the twins might have a bit of a supersticious side to them, which is so interesting.
the merman form is so cool too! as mentioned, I really like how they use more elements of moray eels and lets them have a more fish-like look. the stripes are elegant and a nice detail that brings these aspects from the eels, not to mention his body is literally luminiscent! like! he glows underwater!! how cool is that?? the fins in place of ears are cute, and the webbed hand makes a lot of sense! the tail adding lenght to them and making them twice their human size is a nice way of making them grow without distorting their proportions. (just why. why must he have abs. eel abs. it was a whole jumpscare the first time I saw them.)
I'm. gonna sound a bit hypocritical now. but! I think the hat looks nice on Jade. HEAR ME OUT! I'm still not the biggest fan of hats, but Jade's is not like Azul's, it has a wider, less square box like, shape, the shell is hidden as to not overdo with the details and leave it as a more discreet one, and the way it's drapped on his head, following his bangs and the linearity of his longer stripe, gives such a fluidity to the whole thing and manages to make him look suave!
also, one thing about him is how he's always prim and proper, tucked in neatly in any formal suit and showing his diligence. there's something about people who are always so covered up and formal looking. the profissionalism... the maturity... the sense he's above you... the clothes make the man...
ANYWAYS. I like that the shade of the regular uniform is a lavander that goes easy on the eyes (housewarden's neon purple, take notes), it gives a classy feel and goes along great with the general color scheme! I hope they are careful on laundry day to wash those separatedly from the white uniforms.
again with the little bow tie. the white manages to compliment his gloves and the pocket square very well, but it stills looks a bit silly to me. I'm sorry, but here where I live the only people I've seen using those are clowns, literally (look up Patati e PatatΓ‘. it's Jade and Floyd).
he thankfully doesn't show his socks, but his shoes have white details on them that I feel that kind of break the sleekness of the whole. I know it would be way too monocromatic otherwise, but I don't think it'd be necessarily a bad thing, especially since they have no problem in doing it with his other designs. with the ones he has on, it looks like he's about to start tap dancing at any minute.
still, Jade is slaying
FLOYD
as I've already discussed some of his design aspects in Jade's part, I'll go over only what I see as unique to him.
his hair is messier than Jade's, wilder and spikier, and it kind of looks like he doesn't brush it in the mornings, but that's part of his charm, this unkept look! the F shaped longer strand seems a bit fuller than Jade's as well.
his eyebrows are higher and less sharp than Jade's, angled downwards and following his eye shape that makes him look sleepy or bored more often, less atent than Jade, and exposes his double eyelid better. his eyes are more expressive, oftentimes curving in excitement or with his pupils contracting when angry.
the shape of his nose is pointy, sharper and slightly more curved. ONE THING I REALLY LIKE: his mouth. Floyd is always showing his emotions, and it's delightful to look at his jagged teeth as he smiles openly! even when he's not emoting so drastically you can still catch a glimpse of them!
the thing is that while they have their differences, the twins designs are very similar, as they really separate from each other in their personalities.
the hat also looks better on him than on Azul (sorry Azul, yours is a bit goofy and doesn't compliment your hair very well), and while it follows some of the reasons I've cited on Jade's, there's also something else. the hat helps to show his impulsive nature! how so? well, I think like this: the rest of the uniform he has to wear, there's no escaping it, but the hat? he can do wathever he wants with it. if he feels like putting it on, he does, if he doesn't feel like it, he can just not. it's not a crucial part like the shirt or the suit, so people won't get much on his case about it. in the card, he's taken it off, simply because he wanted to.
he's also more free than Jade's buttoned up look, as he quite literally doesn't button up many parts of it, his jacket is open, his collarbones are exposed, his silly clown bow tie is untied, his scarf is flowing in the wind. Floyd doesn't like to be restricted by tight fitting clothes and honestly I get him.
as much as Floyd is interested in shoe fashion, I don't like his shoes at all. in most of his cards actually. I don't know if it's because I know nothing about it and use an All Star for every occasion, but his shoes always look goofy because of his socks. ALWAYS. who lets him keep getting away with this??? someone please stop him he's comminting crimes against fashion with those socks. THE NEON PURPLE DOESN'T EVEN GOES WELL WITH THE SOFT LAVANDER OF HIS SHIRT. THERE'S NOTHING GOING ON FOR HIM HERE. not to mention he's also using the tap dancer shoes.
CONCLUSION
I really like Octavinelle's under the sea theme and how well their designs make callbacks for their counterparts, making nice references for such an iconic villain! all in all they are very elegant and pass a professional vibe that's characteristic of the dorm and it's students, leaving enough space for their own little quirks to shine through.
I love to take a look at them like this!! I might have a terrible fashion sense for myself, but when it comes to character design I suddenly become a critic lol. though I feel that the game manages very well to create interesting designs that calls to mind the original villain's and leave enough room for their own personalities to shine, catching your attention and staying easily on your memory! all the characters have unique little things that differentiate them and make even people that have never played the game recognize them!
that's it for their dorm uniforms and general designs, I hope you like it curious anon! thank you for once again indulging me on my rambles!
(I took the images from pinterest but they are from the 2020 visual book, which I found some translations for in their character fact sheets and here, or from the Little Mermaid's concept art book!)
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 faΓ§ade 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 faΓ§ade, 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

Nothing special, just a scribble of MC shrimp
Went to Brussels Made in Asia again this year (I'm the Leona and Azul in the pics) and of course had to drop by @rakiah 's booth~
Ivβe been working on this drawing for a friend for days and iβm finally done!Β
So here for my Azul x Jamil shippers ^^
Cop: You ran a red light.
Floyd: So did you, hypocrite.
Cop: I was following you.

Azul: So, according to my university, it is, quote, βmy responsibility if there is an internet outage to contact the faculty and the department.β
Azul: Now, if youβre a critical thinker like me, you might be wondering one thing.
Azul: HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO EMAIL THE DEPARTMENT?!?!?!

Sooo moray eels eat crab. So do octopus.
Do yall think that for birthdays, instead of cake the octavinelle trio just eats mass amounts of crab?
Also like, Octopus sometimes eat eels. And moray eels sometimes eat octopus. What if that was how they met?
Twisted Wonderland Vice HouseWardens Reacting To MC Cursing
Warning β οΈ
Cursingβ’Written By Minorβ’Yellingβ’Lookalike Brothersβ’οΈ
Got bored writing that last ones sorry π’.
Trey Clover βοΈπ¬
He was in the Heartslabyul kitchen making poppyseed muffins, when he heard yelling upstairs. Knowing full well that it was coming from Ace and Deuceβs room, he stopped what he was doing and walked to up to see what was going on now. Once he opened the door he saw Ace, Deuce, and their other two roommates playing Mario Cart. Then he heard it. MC was talking through Aceβs phone, celebrating his first place victory by using some very not good words. He slammed the door, not wanting Riddle go here you and speed walked down stairs. That afternoon he walked to Ramshackle dorm and told you off for using such vulgar language when Riddle was in the same building. Though he quickly got over the whole deal.
Ruggie Bucchi πΎπ¦΄
Ruggie was bargaining with Sam when he heard you yelling from the door. He and Sam looked at each other and walked to the door, when Sam opened it they saw You and a Pomefiore. A trash can next to the other student, knocked over with trash spilt across the grass in-front of Samβs Shop. The student was on his knees begging you not to tell Vil, while you told him off in various curses. Ruggie was surprised that you, a non-magical student was cursing out a sophomore Pomefiore student of all people. He then got back to the dorm and told everyone about how you yelled off that poor kids ears.
Jade Leech ππ»ββοΈπ
He was walking in the hallway on the second floor when he heard you arguing with Cater about who was hotter, Leona or Vil. He decided that it would be a good secret to hold over your heads. So he listened in. What he didnβt expect was for you and Cater to get into a full on brawl. Him cheering for Vil and you going for Leona Kingscholar. Not wanting you to get hurt he stepped in. Once he got you two apart you and Cater started yelling at him to let you two continue you fight. But he wouldnβt budge. So you two cursed at him until he walked away. Unknown to the two of you, he was actually going to go and fetch the two House Wardens. That was an awkward conversation.
Jamil Viper ππͺ³
You two were studying in the library. When a question you didnβt know came up. So he asked you again. Fuck was the word you whispered under your breath. He quickly put his hand over your mouth before you said another word. Jamil looked around, when he didnβt see Kalim he sighed in relief. Then told you off for cursing in a public area. You passed the test with a 97 out of 100.
Rook Hunt πΉπ§’
He literally slapped you. Before you said it! You ran to Vil and told on him. He was told to rake the orchard for the next two weeks, alone.
Ortho Shroud π€π
The Lookalike Twinsβ’οΈ toward over you before a single word left your tongue.
Lilia Vonrouge π¦π
He swiftly covered Silverβs ears before you said another word. Then told you off for having such a dirty mouth around his children Silver and Sebek. Luckily Malleus wasnβt around to hear Liliaβs 50 minute rant about cursing in-front of children.
