"You are dripping on my lovely new floor," said Rafal. Rhian blinked at the black stone tiles, grimy and thick with soot.

Round VI Excerpt From The One True School Master Of Vault 41

Round VI Excerpt from The One True School Master of Vault 41

I just think this one is funny and luckily, it's non-spoilery.

Immediately, Agatha began to sift through memories in the name of espionage. As she flicked through the black crystals, she was only mildly surprised by what she saw:

Happy, blond man.

Stymphs.

The same blond man but distressed.

Smug, blond man.

Pirate.

Blushing, blond man.

Pirate.

Vampires?

Pirate.

Glass castle.

Blushing, blond man.

An enormous taxidermied bat?

Pirate.

Blood spatters in his field of vision and a brief darkness.

Man-Wolf.

Students being tortured.

Stymphs.

Moat.

Torture.

Torture—again?

Torture.

Agatha rolled her eyes.

Torture.

Torture.

Anxious, blond man.

Sobbing, blond man on the shoreside.

Torture.

Torture.

Torture.

Torture.

Evelyn.

Torture.

Stymphs.

Sophie.

Dead, red butterflies.

Sophie.

The Old Villains.

Sophie.

Sophie.

Sophie.

Sophie.

Torture.

Brig.

Sophie in a crown.

Blood again.

Sophie.

A whirlwind of ashes.

Flashes of golden hair. Sophie?

Well... this had been fruitless.

Kill me once, shame on you. Kill me twice, how did you did that.

Ooh, I understand what you meant now! And I agree that the Rafal on Fall's cover looks younger, possibly compared to Rise's cover. When you said "man," I had pictured a more visibly adult man since, even if Rafal were 18-19 or in his twenties physically, I would still consider him marginally a teenager, or more precisely, an adolescent (brain-development-wise despite the immortality/actual, old age), yet an adult by modern, legal standards—just, an adult on the younger side of things.

I could see adult "Rafal" in the main series looking more like an adult, like in the illustration above (before aging), but actually, due to book one, I imagined him as a stooped, withered, old man, by that point in canon. Then again, I may not be the best judge, especially considering that he's wearing a mask.

Thanks, haha!

Yes! Exactly! And, I know for a fact, from EverNeverTV, that Soman never even had a name for Rafal until he wrote TLEA, so I'd highly doubt he'd have Rafal's backstory planned at all. And that's also why I see Rise Rafal and TLEA "Rafal" as approximately the same Rafal because, to me, Fall seemed to have course-corrected, in both twins' characterizations, just to make the final twist work.

Unpopular, possibly controversial opinion: "Rafal" in the main series is slightly more alluring to me than Rafal in the prequels. Sure, you could call him creepy, but he had a certain power and mystique about him that was distinct from the original's.

Sadly, I don't feel the same about Rafal in TLEA. He's a lot more brooding and moody compared to his scenes in the other books.

Allow me to remind you how weird and unhinged this man is:

"Ah, but there's only one way in this world to prove who you are." The Storian stopped its busy writing, sensing a pivotal moment. Slowly the School Master turned. For the first time, his blue eyes had a glint of danger. "What's the one thing Evil can never have . . . and the one thing Good can never do without?"

Absolute fucking creeper. You can imagine the sound he makes as he slowly turns around, like a creaking door. Gives me chills. I love him.

Also, he's rather funny:

The Storian plunged to the page: "Stupid girls! They were trapped for eternity!" "I suspected as much," said the School Master.

These two could've been a comedy duo. Too bad the Storian sucks.

Maybe it's also the way I'm writing him in Ever Never After. Kinda makes me wish I didn't have plans for him to revert to his original appearance permanently. I mean, it's a real fix-it fic.

I just...

Unpopular, Possibly Controversial Opinion: "Rafal" In The Main Series Is Slightly More Alluring To Me

Hello.

How would Rafal feel about someone putting makeup on him?

Someone being me...

I think he would be driven to seek out revenge of some kind if you did that, simply due to the fact that he's petty. Though, he might have the self-control to not murder you, if you didn't humiliate him in the process.

If we're thinking of Good Fall Rafal, he might just chastise you, but not resort to severe violence. And, psychological warfare is still fair game. It always is.

@extremereader Reblogs spread the word, but adding tags for everything doesn't actually catalogue the post under those new tags. Only OP could add tags, I think.

Generally, just delete and report, or delete and block messages from unknown numbers.

Sorry if this is a bother to anyone!
