Everytime I see someone say Idia wouldn’t know what a period is I always wonder whether they know he has to do stuff at his parents company which is literally about health /nm
hi anon!! I've actually never seen anyone saying this, but that might be because I'm very new to the fandom and haven't seen much Idia content so far. I agree with you, tho, I think him (and most of the boys at NRC too) would definetly know what it is!
wait I'll put this under the cut it's time for my (not so in depth) Idia analysis!!
ok so first things first, fair warning: this is my own personal interpretation and it might not be a 100% correct, anyone is allowed to disagree!
another fair warning: I've only caught up with the english server so far so I haven't read the Ignihyde chapter yet, which means I still have a lot to see about Idia, but I don't wanna get spoilers so I'll be going with the knowledge I have from the main story, events and vignettes.
the thing with Idia is that, at a surface level, he's just another Gamer Nerd TM stereotype that's a shut-in with no friends nor social skill and yada yada, and that's what some people might take him for, especially at first glance. I've seen people saying he'd be those misogynistic gamers that have never seen a girl in his life or the ones that think you absolutely have to prove you know everything about a game to be a fan of it. and I know that's all in good fun of course but! I don't agree with it at all!
in my point of view, yes Idia is very introverted and reclusive and he's socially awkward, but that doesn't mean he's that stereotypical gamer, which is what makes him so interesting in the first place! he breaks those expectations you have for his character and shows a lot more depth than this label! I'm not saying he doesn't play into the role at all, but I think he's very well written to break some common patterns.
like! he's such a sweet older brother! he might love his games and his alone time and his room, but he loves Ortho more than those things and would go out of his comfort zone for him (like in the recent Wish Upon a Star event which is one of my favorites btw). he gets very talkative and almost sassy when speaking about something he likes! (like in Azul's school uniform vignette). and yes he can be selfish and headstrong and rude (like in the Ghost Bride event), as is expected for a student of NRC, but that doesn't eliminates his positive traits.
where am I going with this and how does it even ties into the question? it's because in those gamer stereotypes, you'd expect him to not know anything about afab people that isn't in one of his games and have no friends to tell him otherwise. but I think he (and most at NRC) is very educated and would know, you know, basic biology. plus I actually wasn't aware his family's company is about health (I thought it had smth to do with technology, since as I mentioned I haven't read the chapter yet), but since that's the case it's even one extra motive for him to know about it.
like, it's definetly not on top of his mind and he probably never has given it any thought but he does know, it's just not something he has do deal with on a daily basis.
TL;DR: I agree with you anon, Idia is very interesting and there's more than what meets the eye to him, so he doesn't fall into a clear cut stereotype that people often take him for!
Could I request the vice housewardens + Ruggie play fighting with the reader, is there a certain way they initiate if they play fight at all? Do they smack talk? I NEED TO KNOW
Also don't forget to drink water and consume your fruits and veggies 💛
This request made me so happy and it was hilarious to think about someone fighting a bunch of cryptids for fun. Anyway yes absolutely I hope this if acceptable and thank you for reminding me, I am currently drinking water now
Okay so the vice housewardens (or second in commands, which is more accurate) are the feistiest group at NRC. They are all shady or ready to deck someone which makes me think that it’s simply a trait housewardens look for. I’d imagine they all play-fight, but where and how varies greatly. Also the tags look so gnarly but I swear none of them are that violent
Characters: Trey, Ruggie, Jade, Jamil, Rook, Ortho, Lilia, Floyd (mentioned)
Tw// fighting, violence, drowning (mentions), biting, hunting, Rook typical behavior, Leech typical behavior, food, bruises/marks, blood mention
Definitely a play fighter in the casual way.
Most likely to poke at you, smack you with a pillow, throw something at you, etc.
He’s probably the second gentlest in this regard because he’s human and not training to beat the fuck out of someone
When you play fight it’s probably because one of you is being snippy after a long day of dealing with other peoples bullshit.
You aren’t likely to end up actually injured or bruised or anything, but you may end up wrestling on the floor of Trey’s room or smacking each other with pillows.
He’s an older brother so he knows restraint but the urge to pull hair and smack the shit out of someone is strong.
Instead he just pins you to the ground and dramatically lays on you to keep you there
You guy definitely have a food fight.
Not like, with finished dishes or anything, but in a ‘I dropped some ice from the freezer and instead of kicking it under the fridge, we’re playing ice soccer in the kitchen at 3 am’ kind of way.
Or sometimes when you have leftover frosting from a cake he’s made you end up flinging it at each other.
If you ever cover his mouth he will lick it and give you an evil smirk
His trash talk is somehow both very good and very bad at the same time.
He gets into it but he also uses stupid insults like “you’re a poopface” mostly because he wants you to know he’s joking because onetime he called riddle an asshole and he cried so now he’s careful
Please take a boxing class with him you two would have so much fun
Initiates by walking up and biting your shoulder or sometimes just shoving you and running.
If you accept playfighting him at least once be prepared he’s going to do it a lot.
He has so much pent up aggression.
Half of the fighting is smack talk and boy does he have a MOUTH.
Hopefully you have thick skin because otherwise when he says shit like “you look like a gazelle ass fucked a cactus” you might actually cry
Definitely rougher when he plays.
Expect claw marks, bites, bruises, and sore limbs when you’re done fighting.
Try to ignore the stares you get from everyone when they see a bite mark on your shoulder because how do you explain you didn’t do that you were actually just beating the shit out of each other
He will start a fight literally anywhere and you two probably go at it for at least an hour before he gives up
If he ends up drawing blood he’s frantically making sure you’re alright and patching you up
Probably play fights with you as warmup for spelldrive practice.
This entails him coming to your room, pouncing on you to wake you up, then maniacally laughing when you fight him off with a scowl.
But on the bright side, he brought you breakfast (Leona paid for it, shhh) so it wasn’t for nothing
Jade isn’t one to play fight normally, he has a reputation to keep up.
So he won’t usually initiate that.
If you start to goad him into it, he just gives you a menacing smile then turns you over to Floyd to play like that.
If you still insist on playing with him, he will literally just pick you up and sling you over his shoulder until you promise to stop.
Then he drops you on the ground.
Now, that’s how it goes on land, anyway. But in water? Hooboy, hope you can hold your breath.
Jade’s third favorite thing to do is drag people underwater (the first two are hiking in the mountains and teasing Azul) and luckily for you, he remembers just how much you like play fighting!
And since Jade’s in the water, chances are Floyd is too.
They rarely do fun things without each other.
So now you’re going to be fighting for your life from two mischievous mer-eels.
Jade wears a darkly serene expression as he asks you whatever could be the matter and Floyd looks like he’s won the fucking jackpot when you surface from getting dragged into the water with them
You will not win this playfight, because there is little distinguishing it from a real one.
The only difference is that they aren’t actually trying to harm you, but you probably won’t realize that when Jade repeatedly drags you under water to see how long you can hold your breath, trapping your legs with his tail.
He finds the way you beat at him with your fists pretty adorable, which is lucky because that means you won’t drown today!
You will receive 0 aftercare from him for this traumatic experience, but he may invite you to do it again.
Don’t accept it’s a tr-
You’re not so much play-fighting Jamil as you’re training with him.
Which is probably good, it means there’s rule and a time limit.
Anyway, most of his comments are half trash talk and half trying to get a rise out of you.
Very “is that the best you’ve got?”
Sparring with him is fucking exhausting so you likely do it mostly in the evenings or when Jamil is training some other students.
Sometimes he gets way too into it and ends up mixing breakdance moves and martial arts to kick your ass.
He has knocked your feet out from under you before and he will do it again
Moves so confidently and quickly you think he might moonlight as an assassin
Chances are you’re not gonna beat him, he’s got years of experience, but you’re getting stronger and faster when you’re with him.
If he ends up hitting you too hard he apologizes quickly and you don’t usually have many bruises due to the fact he makes you wear padding and you spar on a mat
Dude can totally take a hit so you don’t really have to hold back (he prefers if you don’t, it tests him more)
so don’t be afraid to smack him around.
Genuinely appreciative of you doing this with him and makes sure to let you know every time you take up his offer to practice together
He repays you buy providing you with snacks light on the stomach after you’re done working out together, usually some lightly chilled water and a piece of fruit.
Also sends you home with leftovers of whatever he made for dinner that night
Hahahaha….oh dear lord. So listen, there’s two types of play fighting.
There’s the one you initiate, then there’s the one he initiates.
One of them is fun!
The other is straight from a horror movie
If you initiate, he’s happy to indulge, and he hits a littler harder than he means to sometimes but overall it’s pretty chill.
You two end up chasing each other around campus, playing what could be described as a really intense, violent game of tag.
By the time you’re done, you’re both covered in dirt of mud and have sticks and leaves sticking to you.
If he initiates, please don’t take his offer.
This is the scary one.
His version of play fighting is chasing you through the woods behind campus with a bow and arrow and yelling vague threats about “ahh, you’re close! I can almost smell you~” and occasionally shooting an arrow that is ENTIRELY TOO CLOSE for comfort.
If he catches up to you - or just decides this is the right moment - he’s tackling you to the ground.
He’ll tease you for losing before attacking you with tickles, the most terrifying of all weapons.
So maybe it isn’t scary in the end, since he was never gonna hurt you, but running through the forest with nobody nearby except for a guy armed with a long ranged weapon is absolutely terrifying, and there’s always the slim chance he misses….
Gentlest of the list.
He’s more sure how much pressure to apply when play fighting, so it mostly ends up being pillow fights, or something else that’s soft.
Poking, bumping into you, very very gentle punching, that’s all on the table.
If you try to initiate, Idia will get very pissed.
All of his internal components are extremely sensitive, you can’t just smack him! And besides that, he’s tiny, and his brother! Why would you do this?
Idia is genuinely terrifying when his entire attention is focused on you, and hes pissed.
The flames of his hair are growing and flickering wildly as his gold eyes glare down into yours.
The only thing that calms him down is when Ortho begs him to
So you don’t really get to physically play fight with him anymore, but you do get to game together.
With Idia’s supervision.
He’s not going to be letting Ortho around you anymore since you decided to fight a literal innocent child
I’m fairly certain that play fighting is Lilia’s love language.
He loves to beat the shit out of people.
Least gentle next to Jade, because he will literally grab you and throw you in the air.
You’re not in danger, but his awareness of the human limits is limited, unlike Jade.
Probably isn’t a fan of shit-talking in person, but definitely does it when he’s gaming late at night.
Probably play fight in the Diasomnia lounge.
There’s an audience there to watch you get your ass kicked by an old man, as well as to see you fling the five foot nothing bat across the room.
Most intense play fighting imaginable.
He’s a big fan of flipping people and literally just throwing people around.
He’s completely fine with people doing it back to him, he finds it fun.
Playing with him is like trying to fight black widow, except if you call for a time out he’ll let you.
Silver and Sebek both try and warn you not to do this.
They literally trained with him as children they know he does not fuck around.
You ignore their advice and end up with a broken leg and a bowl of Lilia’s soup.

THIS OCTATRIO INTERACTION WARMS MY HEART THEY LOOK SO HAPPY BEING LITTLE ASSHOLES TOGETHER LOOK AT THEM <333
Super sorry this isn’t about Twst but I just gotta say how much I hate when people consider someone weird for liking kids shows like I absolutely love MLP and I have a ton of merch from it but if I ever talk about it I’m called immature like please just let me like my silly little colorful pony show :’] -
HI 🦭 ANON!! no problem, I like to talk regardless of the topic!!
tbh, even when I was a little kid at the age that you're still expected to like kids shows I was made fun of by some classmates because they were more "mature" and that was just a "silly cartoon for little kids", but the point is: I was a little kid!! let me enjoy those things!! even today I really like cartoons, I love animation, even if it's "for little kids".
maybe that's the neurodivergency talking as well, but there's just something about them, you know? perhaps I like the simplicity or the heartfelt messages of love and friendship, maybe even the nostalgia, or I just want to give my child self something that she can enjoy without being ashamed of it.
MLP is such a nice show, the characters are all very different and have nice designs, the story is cute and manages to pass on messages that are important, be it for children or an older audience. a few days ago I was actually rewatching the Equestria Girls movies to remember how they were, since I used to LOVE them when I was little! (the songs still slaps)
I really like shows like Gravity Falls and The Owl House, that may be considered childish simply for the fact that they are animated. even if it's intended for a younger audience, they are so well made they capture the attention of anyone watching!! I also love to watch any new animation movies that comes out, since they are usually so cool! even old ones, as this past vacation I had a disney movie marathon and enjoyed getting to see the stories with new eyes, still remembering how I watched them as a kid!
people who judge other's interests are just so rude without a reason. why does me enjoying something I like a lot bothers you so much you couldn't stay quiet? I don't care if it's "cringe" or whatever, just let people enjoy things in peace!! there's something so beautiful in being able to find happiness in little things and I love when someone starts talking about something they like, since you can feel their passion and they eyes light up and they get excited, it's very cool!
even sometimes when something is not for kids, people might make fun of you for it? for example: animes have a reputation of being for kids since they kind of are very exaggerated, be it in fights or just anything really, and they are animated. that doesn't mean it's only for kids! there are some anime that I wouldn't reccomend for a kid to watch, since there might be some heavy topics in them. honestly, people just like to find a reason to make fun of others sometimes because their lives are getting boring without it and they couldn't find anything better to do with their time. (I garantee you, as someone with a very busy life, I couldn't care less if one of my friends enjoys watching kids shows or playing with dolls or doing whatever, as long as they aren't hurting anyone then they're good in my books).
so, in conclusion, even when people might judge you for it, I don't think you should stop doing the things you enjoy! be unapologetically happy! at the end of the day, they won't get any satisfaction from making fun of you, but you'll still be happy with the things you like. especially if you find other people that share your interests! what others say doesn't really matter, your life is yours and only yours to judge, and there are already so many problems out there, there's no need to create problems that don't really exist, you know? liking something "childish" isn't a problem and it shouldn't be a problem, so just enjoy what you like without feeling ashamed for it!
An: I recently received my Octavinelle nuis, whom now sit on my desk for me to look at when I work. I just had to write something for them, inspired by this fic by SomeCereals.
Nui!Azul likes to collect coins. You can often find it carrying discarded coins, that it found on the floor or wedged between the couch cushions, to it's transparent piggy bank. Once the coins lie safely in the piggy bank, they are considered it's. No one can have them, not even you. (That doesn't stop Floyd from trying to steal the coins though. Mostly to get a rise out of Azul.)
Nui!Jade likes to take pictures of rocks, often stealing your phone to snap dozens of pictures upon pictures of them. Sometimes it finds a nice, smooth pebble and lugs it back home to paint on it. Congratulations, you now have a new paperweight!
Nui!Floyd really likes your shoes for some reason. It likes to hide in them and wait for either Azul or Jade to walk by, then jump out to scare them. But most of the time it ends up falling asleep out of boredom. (One time you slipped on your shoes without looking inside them and accidentally stepped on it. The revenge pranks it pulled on you for the next week was exhausting to get through.)
All three of them enjoy getting the chance to soak in a basin, its like a bath for them! Do be careful of the splash attacks from the tweels when bathing them though. If they ever get out of line, just threaten to throw them into the washing machine. (Floyd fell into the washing machine once and you didn't know, dumping your clothes in and switching it on without a care. Poor Floyd was later found drenched and traumatized.)
The tweels like to sleep together in a different spot every night. Finding them takes considerable effort, given Jade's liking of staying hidden. If you observe them long enough, you'll be able to see Floyd roll over and take the blanket with it, Jade yanking the blanket back, then Floyd getting up after a while and rejoining Jade under the blanket. Rinse and repeat.
Azul has made an empty tissue box it's own little bedroom, with a packet of cotton as it's bed and it's little piggy bank in a corner. Jade and Floyd like to cover the top of the tissue box to give Azul a fright when it wakes up, and it usually works. (Azul got used to it after a while though, and even came to like the darkness.)
Che'nya always had fun around you. you always had fun around him. you make a great duo! it starts off as friends getting up to some shenanigans together and having some fun! that is, until he felt his heart start to beat faster around you. huh. and you felt your cheeks getting warmer around him. huh. how weird. and he thinks it would be really nice to kiss you. and you think it would be really nice to hold him. oh. oh! alright, so it's like that.
"Che'nya, there's something I have to tell you."
"oh? what is it?"
"I think I might be in love with you." you just stare at each other. your hands are clammy and your heart is about to give you a cardiac arrest with how fast it's beating.
"you think so?"
"well, I'm pretty sure."
his grin widens, ears perking up "in this case, I think I might be in love with you too."
you can't stop your smile "you think so?"
"hmm, I'm pretty sure, yes."
congrats you've got a boyfriend now!
get! matching! accessories! earrings, necklace, rings, anything! Che'nya would love it if you share the same appreciation for odd jewelry as he does! this ring might be a bit too big, but look at how colorful it is! this necklace has way too many chains, but isn't the kitty pendant cute? this clock earring is quite nice! what do you mean the clock is broken? that's the charm!
he WILL call you the strangest pet names. this man has no shame whatsoever. he can say the most out of pocket things without flinching or feeling any embarrassment, that applies to his nicknames for you as well. there is no escape, just accept it. the sooner you do the least embarrassed you will be once he calls you "drowsy dormousey" in front of your friends (shut up Ace shut up shut up he's cute so he can do that ok. no, you can't, you only sound goofy when you do). call him your little meow meow, he will be delighted.
he's surprisingly good at giving advice when you need it! just get through his enigmatic wording first and you'll find it very helpful! he's great with giving directions and showing the right path! Che'nya is very smart, after all, he just expresses himself in a rather odd way. he's someone you can count on!
for your dates, if you're not spending the day in each other's schools causing chaos and havoc (and a migraine for Riddle) or chilling in your room with cuddles and cat naps, then you're out in the city! you still don't know much about the Isle of Sages, since you scarcely leave NRC, or about the little town there. worry not, Che'nya has explored it throughly and will show you exciting new places! his favorite cafe, that one famous pâtisserie, a nice clothes shop or the beach! whenever there is a new event on the island, be it a music show or a cultural fair, Che'nya will want to go with you. you can't lose an opportunity to have fun together!
when it comes to grades, he's one of the best on his class. that's great, you two should study together! that's what you think, right? well, no, you shouldn't. if you think studying with Ace, Deuce and Grim is chaotic, that's because you didn't try to have a study session with Che'nya. oh, you're confused about this alchemy question? how about he tries to explain in a metaphor that will confuse you even more! you want to ask him questions with flashcards? he will overcomplicate the questions and then turn them on you. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT ask his help in animal linguistics. he will only talk in cat puns. and most likely meow at you. for a good while. so don't, just don't.
on the rare occasion Che'nya is annoyed or irritated with something, you can tell right away, he doesn't bother trying to hide it. his ears fall flatly against his head, his tail is down and swishing agitatedly and even if he still has the smile on his face you can tell it doesn't reach his eyes. he gets less energetic and doesn't move around so much, sometimes even being stiff. in this case, the best thing to do is to recharge with lots of cuddles and head scratches. eventually he might open up to what's on his mind! be it in riddles or in a straightforward way, just having someone to hear it without judgment already makes him feel better.
he loves hand-made gifts, both giving and recieving! it's easier to put your thoughts and emotions on them and they become more personal. whatever it is that you make him, he will cherish it! you cooked him lunch? he's going to praise all the flavors and savour every bite like it's the last meal he'll eat (he might do an impression of a renomed chef judging your cooking with the most exagerated expressions though)! you drew something for him? it's going on his bedroom wall right now, he will show it to whoever goes there, he might even make a little patch of it (it explains why he's got a shirt with a mix of different flowers patches alongside a sketch of Grim sleeping on Trein's class. he loves wearing it when he visits. Grim hates it and has tried on multiple occasions to get rid of it, with no success so far)! you grew a little plant for him? that's his son now, that plant is going to live the best life, he will song a lullaby to it before going to sleep (luckly he doesn't share his room with anyone, or else there would be way too many complaints about a cat serenading late at night. he says the plant is his dormmate and it loves his songs, thank you very much)!
he drags you to RSA at the very least once. it's actually a lot of fun! everyone is really nice, the castle is beautiful and makes you feel like royalty just by being there, Che'nya's room is super comfortable to spend time in, and, most important of all, the both of you can and will prank people without you having to worry about the payback! and their reactions are really funny too! it's great! that is, until Riddle blows up your phone furiously demanding you to come back this instant. Cater is losing it on the background about how you've got more Magicam followers than he does in less than an hour. Che'nya shows you a picture he took of you and Neige LeBlanche together. it's on Neige's Magicam page. congrats, you're a Magicam subcelebrity now! I hope it was worth the punishment Riddle will give you for breaking the rules!
("I'm not even at your dorm."
"you're still a student of Night Raven College and are expected to follow it's rules!"
"yeah, why did you have to go to RSA of all places, you traitor!"
"shut up Ace, you just wish you were there too.")
Che'nya sews his own clothes! of course, not all of them, but most have at least some modification he did to fit his alternative style more. sometimes he stays up late to sew, since, according to him, the best ideas come at the oddest of times. maybe that explains why they look like that, but you can't help but be fond of them, especially after seeing how much effort he puts into it and how proud he is!
so you steal his clothes. they are comfy and big on you and so so soft and smell like him and are very comfy. did I mention how soft they are? they don't match with any other clothes you have, but you wear them anyway. that one hoodie with the playing card suits patches he made thinking of his friends in Heartslabyul? it's yours now. you wear it on every unbirthday party you crash into are invited to. Riddle says it looks familiar, you just smile and try to look clueless, Trey covers his laugh on the background. Che'nya tells you if you like his clothes so much he can sew some for you as well, just paw-lease give back his favorite striped shirt. you say you'll think about it. (you don't ♡). then, your mushroom shirt mysteriously disappears. Che'nya looks a lot like the cat that got the cream.
"what are you smiling smugly about?"
"there's always something to smile about, don't you think so?"
you squint your eyes at him. his smile widens mischievously. "you've got my shirt don't you." it's not a question.
"I have no idea what you're talking about~" oh he so does.
that's how the clothes war started. honestly, at this point you're not even sure which ones were his and which were yours.
("you do, mine are so different!"
"hmm, nope, no idea.")
well, more clothes for you!! you use his purple doc martens once with the most mismatched socks in history. Riddle looks at you like you've commited some crime (you did, against fashion itself. maybe there is a rule against this? surely?). Che'nya threatens to tell Trey to put a sweets ban on you. you give his boots back. (the socks stay with you though.)
you'll always find yourself smiling by his side, he's up to some shenanigan of some sort all the time or has a funny story to tell. look, you'll have to endure the constant cat puns and sometimes even dad jokes here and there, but he makes you laugh so much you could be called a cheshire cat yourself.
("I love you the meowest!"
"there you go."
"I'll love you fur-ever!" you hold your smile, but he can tell you're amused anyway
"that was claw-ful." he smiles wide, so wide you actually wonder just how wide can his mouth open. "I can't believe I just said this, look what you're doing to me."
"no, no, it was paw-some!" that's what you've signed yourself to, fur-end.)
there's never a lack of entertainment around! if you start to get bored, don't worry, he knows just the thing <3
"let's cause some trouble together!"
"you're impossible, you know."
"not impossible, merely unpossible."
"whatever you say. anyway, who are we going to perturb today?"
"there are these freshmen in Heartslabyul..."
"I'm in."
"Of course mew are!"
look, if you don't really like physical affection, he'll respect that as best as he can, but he can get a bit needy.
"purr-lease spare some headpats for a poor kitty in need."
"alright, sure." his ears perk up, it's pretty cute even. you let him wait a few seconds more before looking both ways and then to him again "where's this poor kitty anyway?"
he WILL whine about it how COULD YOU do this to him WHY are you so mean to your boyfriend. just give him the headpats after you've got your laugh and he'll stop complaining.
now, if you are affectionate like him, then expect him to take full advantage of that. hugs everytime you see each other, holding hands if you're walking together, drapping his arm across your shoulders, playing footsie under the table, throwing himself on your lap and demaning for head scratches, wraping his tail around your wrist, propping his chin on your head, nicking on your neck playfully, kissing your cheeks, cuddles and snuggles, holding your waist and nuzzling his head on your shoulder. if you scratch under his chin or behind his ears or brush his tail he will purr SO loud and have the sappiest smile, no shame at all. give him a little kiss for good measure.
he can be cute when he wants to! asking Trey to bake your favorite sweets, giving you flowers that reminded him of you, singing silly tunes, sewing some patch that represents you or leaving little notes around your room (that are mostly confusing, but endearing nonetheless). although if he's in the mood to tease you (which is most of the time. like, at least 86% of it), good luck. hope you don't get flustered or scared easily, because he will use his Unique Magic to mess with you. (lovingly, of course! he never means to actually upset you!)
feeling lonely? BAM there's a floating head to keep you company! hey why are you screaming? no worries, it's just your menace of a boyfriend <3
he'll tickle you and give you little kisses all over while invisible. try to guess where he is~ if you get it right, he might even have a prize for you!
"is it a hundred thaumarks?"
"maybe yes, maybe no, who knows~"
"you literally know."
"know? know what? there are some things I do and some things I don't."
"I'll pull on your tail if you keep it up."
"you'll have to find it first, though." he laughs. you flawlessly catch his tail. he was rubbing it softly against your side, after all, and you know him well enough by now to have a good idea of where it would be.
"well, where's my prize?" he appears fully before you and gives you a kiss on the nose, disappearing again. "ah? where's my hundred thaumarks?" you pull lightly on his tail, relishing on the whiny protest sound he lets out.
"I'm just kitting" he appears before you again, a pout on his lips.
you just stare at him, unimpressed. "well?"
"here is the true prize!" he presses a light kiss against your lips, ready to pull away again before your hands cup his cheeks and keep him in place, foreheads touching.
"hm, I'll have to enjoy it to the fullest, yes? that's only fair."
"how purr-suasive. I'll indulge you then." your lips meet again, and again, and again. seems like the prize was worth it after all~
whenever Che'nya visits NRC, Grim will be FIGHTING for your attention (not literally, at least not after he put one of the walls of ramshackle on fire and you didn't buy him any tuna for a whole week. he's learnt his lesson this time).
"you gotta choose who is your favorite, henchman! Me, the greatest mage Grim, or that annoying cat!"
"Grim, you know I love both of you a lot, yes?"
"but you love me more, right?"
you just sigh and shake your head, no point in trying to argue with him. Che'nya laughs from where his head is smushed against your stomach, finding the situation rather amusing as Grim tries to brag about his 'victory' and you play with his hair.
this one-sided animosity begun when you and Che'nya started dating and he went to spend a day at your dorm. he just happened to pick Grim's favorite spot on the sofa and, on top of that, you didn't give Grim any attention or defend his spot! and it doesn't end there! you even let your boyfriend eat some of Grim's premium tuna! (Grim also ate it, since you made everyone tuna sandwiches, but this isn't the point.) and he had to endure his terrible awful horrible no good very bad cat puns!
on Che'nya's end, he finds the whole thing rather entertaining. sometimes he swishes his tail in front of Grim to watch your dormmate try to catch it, a concentrated look on his face. it's cute, so you let them be.
if you don't get along with his best friends- yes you do. you won't have a choice, you'll have to at least tolerate them with how often you'll be meeting each other. plus, Trey and Riddle mean a lot for Che'nya, so it makes him really happy to see his favorite people in the world getting along! Trey is glad Che'nya found someone that makes him so giddy and that doesn't mind his oddity.
("he always sends me a text whenever you do something he finds cute. he texts me everyday now."
"he better not be sending any photos."
"oh, don't worry, if anything you'll like it."
Trey procceds to show you the many silly selfies Che'nya sends him. Che'nya arrives in the middle of it but only shows himself when you are going to ask Trey to send them to you. "if you like my face so meow-ch, you should just tell me~")
Riddle is more low-key about it, but he always smiles at you when you crash his unbirthday parties and lets you and Grim stay until the end, so that means you're in his good books for bringing so much happiness to his friend.
("aw man, why does Riddle only lets you get away from taking extra slices of tart?"
"well, Ace, maybe he just didn't see it."
"he definetly did, he even nodded on your direction before turning his head to pretend he didn't."
"oh Deuce, you must have imagined it."
"who cares, what matters is that I get more tart to eat later!"
"so true Grim, so true.")
him and Cater are friends as well, since they met each other on their first year through their mutual friend, Trey. Cater takes photos of his looks because they are 'super magicamable' and slides his plate with sweets under the table for Che'nya to eat on unbirthday parties. (Trey spent a long time thinking Cater loved blueberry muffins since he always took a lot of these, and baked extras for him. Che'nya was not complaining). Cater always seems to know what's happening everywhere, even on RSA, before anyone else. how does he do that? of course, him and Che'nya like to trade gossip about their respective schools (you are added to their group chat eventually. you know the names of students you've never even seen before and most likely never will). if Cater posts a picture with the two of you, you're either:
a) going to flirt on the comments between you two.
("oh? who is this cute kitty on the photo?"
"hmm, I don't know, I was more interested in looking at the beauty by his side!"
"stop flirting on my posts you two please")
OR
b) going to flirt WITH cater. yes both of you. yes some people might have thought there was some cheating scandal between the three of you. Cater loved it since his picture got more traction this way, Che'nya loved it because the theories were really funny and you loved it because the things these two sent on your gossip group chat were wild.
("Cay-Cay, you're looking so handsome on this picture, I couldn't look at anything else~"
"thank you Che'nya, you look quite cute yourself~"
and
"Cay-Cay, when are we going out like this again? I had a loooot of fun with you ♡"
"me too prefect, we'll have to make new plans soon, for just the two of us ☆")
when it comes to your friends, Che'nya likes to tease and prank them a lot, but he is pretty chill overall. Deuce always get scared of his disappearing act and Ace laughs at him, right before jumping in surprise once Che'nya appears behind him, only your boyfriend's cheeky grin to show where he is. he likes watching Ace doing magic tricks with cards and Deuce calling him to a race. if there's one thing these three are absolutely chaotic at is palying games together, be it board games, card games or video games. Che'nya tries to make up rules on spot, Ace argues with him when it's bad for him but agrees if it's advantageous, Deuce is confused and getting low key gaslighted on basic rules. by the end of the game, your stomach is hurting from how much you laughed trying to play with them.
("wait, Deuce, since you played a four, you need to clap your hands three times or else you'll have to fish a card."
"but the last four Ace played you said he had an extra turn and could play again!"
"well, that's because it was a red four, and yours is yellow, so it's different."
"I don't remember these being Uno rules. what do you think, Ace?"
"he's right, now you better buy that card because it's my turn!")
in conclusion: he'll tease you a lot, he can be quite confusing, his fashion sense is rather odd, he's got some terrible jokes, he acts like a clingy cat most of the time and you are not safe from his pranks, even if you're dating him. but still, he finds you to be the cutest person in the world, no matter what you're doing, he can't never get bored around you! he's giving you plenty of affection every day, bringing you little gifts, messaging you things that he thought you'd like, showing you his favorite people and things and places! your smile is the prettiest thing he's ever seen, and he'll make sure to keep seeing it every day by making you happy.
life is very interesting with a boyfriend like him, get ready for some excitement!

I absolutely loved chapter 6 it’s honestly my favorite chapter (It probably helps that Idia is my fav character) I was so excited to watch it when I found the translation on YouTube but when I watched it for the first time I literally sobbed because of how emotional the story is ;u; still a 10/10 plot but man was it sad- 🦭
🦭 anon you're making me even more excited to read it, I just know it's gonna be a banger chapter
I'm glad you got the Idia content you wanted!!! I'm kinda afraid to face the angst tho, chances are I'll also sob. Ortho and Idia's backstory... I KNOW it's gonna be sad, I just know it...
watch my immaculate taste in fanfic:
thank you for the tag liya <333
I didn’t make this one this time, but I found a fanfiction tropes tier list on tiermaker.
This was fun to do! I can’t wait to see what everyone’s favorites are! My all times are ‘sharing a bed’ and ‘fake relationships’.
I would like to add a ‘vampire AU’ which I’d totally put in A Tier.

School and finals were happening so I finished this several weeks late to the redraw trend but it's alright at least they're real now🥲
