So... I Was Wrong... They Were Never Meant To Be QPPs. They Were Always Supposed To Be Romantic Partners.

So... I was wrong... they were never meant to be QPPs. They were always supposed to be romantic partners.

G-d I am fully back in my brain rot y'all. Once I swapped the roles between Ruggie and Trey in Emil's little poly dynamic, bruh everything fell into place on both sides and Im on the floor weeping. How did this go from being a meh dynamic to easily one of my favorite ships so fast?

On that note- How did all of my TWST OCxCanon dynamics become favorites of literally all time????

Hihi!!! 19 and 20 for Cal please? Thank you!

YES; I get to talk about my solar surfer sweetheart!

19) Does your OC have any close friends?

I'm still working on that, to be honest. Cal is something of a social pariah at his school due to his emotional issues (you don't earn a mocking nickname like Cal-amity by underreacting). It's a convo I really need to have with the group.

The two closest things I can think of is him having an admiration for my girl Fia due to an interaction when he is a freshman to her sophomore, and how it's very likely that @cyanide-latte's Wei Renqiao is going to be the one to step in when...well everyone (especially Ignihyde Dorm) will see during the 2nd Arcane Exchange.

Although, there is also the case of @ramshacklerumble's Gia Yugo and the role they play as observer to the rollercoaster of a relationship between Cal and one Jade Leech. Though, that would be telling ;)

20) What hobbies does your OC have?

Cal has two; puzzle box/cube solving and metalworking. The metalworking is definitely the more vested of his crafts, even to the point where it's how he came to develop his Signature Spell/Ultimate Magic. Outside of being somewhere where he can look at the stars without obstruction, melting and molding metal is where Cal feels happiest and the most safe.

The Anatole Siblings (a semi-brief overview)

Making their home in Fleur City, these three young aristocrats are the great-grandchildren of the elderly Mme. Anatole. Their mother came to live with her grandmother prior to the children being born, and so the three have only ever lived with their great-grandmother, mother, and eventually their stepfather when their mother remarried. Mme. Anatole was the last mage of her line for many years and became overjoyed when her great-grandchildren developed magic. She spares no expense to ensure the three of them will grow up to become capable mages, gentlemen and lady.

Marianne Daphnée Anatole

Nickname: Mari

Oldest (by 16 months) but won't correct the misconception that she and her brothers are triplets (because that can come in handy)

Constantly chastising her brothers

Very spoiled (but not spoiled rotten, there's a difference, thank you very much)

Somewhat haughty demeanor but she's quite sweet underneath

Attends a private all-girls' academy that focuses on raising its students both as elegant ladies and capable young mages

Much as she does prioritize becoming a proper lady, she also can be quite rough-and-tumble, a fact her stepfather is proud of and encourages

Loves horseback riding and can do riding for shows, she'll sit sidesaddle and everything, but she's also training in stunt riding and practicing utilizing her magic while riding

Undecided on what she wants to do with her life

Polyamorous and determined to grow up and have many great loves whom she can lavish with all the affection she has to offer

Toussaint Éloi Anatole

Nickname: Tea

Second-oldest, and twin to Bertrand

Attends Royal Sword Academy

He and his brother convinced their great-grandmother to let them enroll at RSA rather than Noble Bell College

Boisterous, slightly arrogant but very straightforward, generous, good-natured and extroverted

Paints in his free time. He's not exactly skilled as an artist but he knows this and still chooses to express himself through it

Has a deep regard and respect for any artist of any kind, no matter what their art or craft or trade is. The sort of noble who would be a great patron or benefactor, and he does hope to one day be an official patron to many great artists, so that he can lift up and support the people who can do amazing things he can only dream of.

He boxes, and a lot of his stocky build is indicative of his muscle.

Slightly naive but honest view that everyone around deserves kindness, support and more than just the basic necessities, they deserve to live comfortably. The most likely to debate with his peers about this.

Deeply concerned with fairness and sportsmanship

Asexual but is open to the idea of a romance

If he were attending Night Raven College, he would be sorted into Heartslabyul

Bertrand Ernest Anatole

Nickname: Rand

Youngest but somehow has Oldest Sibling vibes AND Middle Child Syndrome, twin to Toussaint

Attends Royal Sword Academy

Acts like he can't stand his brother and sister but will absolutely make anyone who hurts them regret doing so

Introverted and is not quick to offer his thoughts, and he can be quite snappy when he does.

Unlike his brother, he's a skilled musician on the piano and while he appreciates natural talent in others, he holds a much deeper regard for anyone who hones their skills through hard work and constant, patient effort.

He values cleverness, wisdom, and keeping a realistic view of the world.

Semi-closeted bisexual with a heavy preference towards guys (he's known this about himself since he was young)

While he shares his brother's thoughts of everyone deserving kindness, support and the chance to live comfortably, he's focused less on espousing the ideal in discussion and trying to actually put change into action, and he's not keen to be in the spotlight while doing so (though he does light up when others express appreciation for what he does.)

Skilled fencer

If he were attending Night Raven College, he would be sorted into Scarabia

A special thanks to @tixdixl , @simons-twsted-children , @inmateofthemind and @ramshacklerumble for helping me figure out what their names were going to be!

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEE!!!

cause and effect .

can I see an ashi and gigi interaction <//3 look she even has an emote 🌺

KIDDING!!!!!! BUT HI I WANT MORE GIGI CONTENT 🫶 really curious about 🦐🦑🍄 octotrio? this is my attempt at more unagi crumbs BUT!!! I AM GEN CURIOUS ABOUT OCTO INTERACTIONS 🫣 don’t think I’ve seen gigi interact w the other two ssssso 👁️👁️

in a nutshell?

if these three carked it right in front of them, gia would at long last repent and hole up in a nunnery like the good lord intended.

jk. (kinda)

on paper, gia is the octotrio’s personal henchboy as payment for a “favor” floyd does them a little prior/early into the events of book 5. (currently working on a one-shot that goes into this) originally gia’s tenure under the mostro lounge was only meant to be for a few weeks, but it’s made readily apparent once the octotrio finds use in something they are not about to let it slip through their fingers.

so begins the trio's pattern of finding even the smallest infractions on gia’s part as cause to extend their servitude under them. this is, understandably, why there's little love lost between them. i’d say gia prays for the trio’s downfall, but gia isn’t religious and far too proactive to wait around for that to happen.

they’ve made it their personal mission not to leave nrc until octavinelle is burning at their feet.

…

in reality, gia’s relationship with the octotrio is quite complicated.

they’ve been an absolute pain in the neck in every single encounter, but it doesn’t take gia long to realize the octotrio is their speedrun towards getting some REAL power in their hands. proud and hard-working they may be, gia is ultimately a pragmatist at heart.

though a bit of a showman, azul IS an undeniably powerful mage with many a tentacle in many a pie. the twins are nothing to sneeze at either.

as much as gia hates their guts, these three are their chance to make it not only to graduation but to actually make something of themself when staying at night raven is no longer an option.

and that’s not even getting into the growing familiarity between gia and the trio steadily murking the waters…

🦑 AZUL ASHENGROTTO: (tagging @thehollowwriter since you also sent an ask for azul)

perhaps the most subtle dynamic of the three (making it the hardest to explain) gia's view of azul can be largely inferred by their joke-title for him: boss.

if azul wants something done, then gia gets it done. gia proves themself an incredibly adept asset to azul and it's why azul pulls whatever strings he can to keep them under his thumb.

that said, while gia puts up with much of azul's overworking and respects they are indebted to the trio by not putting up much of a fuss-- azul is aware he occasionally has to sweeten the pot if he wants to keep it that way.

he'd be a fool to forget this was the same person who got all his original contracts turned to dust. and besides: what good, gracious employer doesn't reward his employees for their hard work?

so azul doesn't mind giving gia access to a few of his private merchandise channels, maybe even some of his more advanced grimoires and alchemy notes, etc.

this dynamic remains largely unchanged for a while, though if one were to squint they might catch a degree of casualness peppering their interactions over time. they indulge in subtle sniping-- even minor trolling-- namely from gia who finds azul an easy target.

they are not fully aware of how things have changed until @cyanide-latte's chrysanthos shroud makes quite a bitter impression on them both. in a low moment surprising even azul, he admits to gia that shroud makes him feel inadequate as a housewarden-- made worse by the fact azul knows it isn't shroud's intention. shroud, in his own way, truly embodies the spirit of benevolence an octavinelle housewarden should be and it's something azul wonders he'll ever be able to do himself. (you can read more on this in cy's post: here!)

gia, in an attempt to give azul the peace of mind that they won't try to use this moment of weakness against him (and bolstered by the knowledge this could come in as blackmail should he think to use what they're about to tell him), shares a bit of their own worries shroud managed to jar loose.

working for the trio is hard, however, it's also been the path that's given gia the most opportunities. but, with the trio being a year ahead of them, gia is well aware their time with them is limited. they can’t help but mull over what is to become of them when the trio leave for their senior internships. gia will likely never see them again and likely be nothing more than a footnote from the trio’s school lives. a strange, magicless weirdo from another dimension, wasn’t that a fun little story?

gia’s probably going to have a lot of free time as a junior and who knows how they plan to go about senior year, frankly, they’re a bit at a loss with themself…

anyway. if it weren't for azul """kindly""" giving them the chance to gain what they DO have by working for him (or whatever), they'd probably be even more lost than they are now. he's a pain and a half, but he's probably not the worst housewarden in octavinelle history.

at this, azul reminds gia he's made his plans to branch out the mostro lounge to the public quite clear. gia wouldn’t be bound to them anymore, but it'd be a shame to let their experience at the school's location go to waste, wouldn't it?

🍄 - JADE LEECH

gia's relationship with jade is probably the strangest because despite jade being the one that wigs gia out the most, he is also the one gia openly gets along with the best.

fun fact: gia opened up their own club. the biking club. they are the only person in said club because, for some reason or another, they reject anyone who tries to get in. it might have to do with the fact the reason the club exists is because they needed an excuse to have a bike on school grounds they are allowed to ride anywhere unquestioned-- such as for personal errands or scavenging for potion ingredients. this includes up in the mountains.

y'know who else is often in the mountains..?

because of this little coinkidink, jade found a very weak and fevered gia struggling to get off the ground because they'd stupidly decided to go out foraging while sick. and of course, what good, gracious vice-housewarden of octavinelle wouldn't lend a hand to a poor, unfortunate underclassman in need despite their fervent protests? they're obviously, deliriously ill and are unaware of what's best for them…

indebted to jade on top of the octotrio as a whole, gia lost what little personal time they had as president of their own one-man club. now the biking club is (semi-officially) affiliated with his mountain lovers' club-- meaning gia accompanies him whenever he goes and bikes him around trails whenever he feels like it.

in theory, being alone up a mountain with jade leech should be terrifying, but gia sincerely enjoys these outings. jade is not only incredibly well-versed in mountain flora but a skilled potionologist in his own right.

honestly, it’s not bad.
