Personally, I'd go for the second interpretation, usually, so he could act as a foil for Rhian, but the first one is still possible due to his monologue at the Black Rabbit. Thoughts anyone?

WOW, he looks so good—and his expression! And the little cat demon creature over his shoulder! What is it?

Can you please draw Rafal in the outfit he wore when he and Midas met in room 66 during fall??

WOAH TWO POSTS IN A DAY

the angle midas is at is always hard for me to draw so i gave him little line eyes😭

After reading your last post I realised, Rhian would 100% be into those trashy Wattpad stories about being kidnapped, hunted or sold to some hot ass hole. His reading lists would be a yaoi paradise.

[gasp] THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE! I've never thought of that, but I had thought of the opposite once, about Rafal liking whump.

So—while Rhian wants to be the perpetual victim, like you say (does this mean that the modern Wattpad version of Rhian would literally be a masochist??? Or an "I can fix him" guy?) Rafal would read things from the torturer's pov. And neither would tell the other just how messed up their reading taste has become, even if Rafal wouldn't care about being viewed as a sadist.

Yet, if Rafal ever figured it out, he'd have to stop threatening Rhian with "appealing" scenarios though because he'd realize he's enabling the problem of Rhian's taste for red flags.

Rafal: What are you reading, Rhian? [looks over Rhian's shoulder] Storian! Bleach my eyes out!

Rhian: The Evergirls say it's a fad among the damsels in distress.

Rafal: [in disbelief] That drivel? No, they look too innocent to enjoy what you read.

Rhian: Actually, they introduced it to me. It's called Wattp—

Rafal.exe has stopped working.

Rafal: [stands frozen with some human equivalent of a "blue screen of death" for an expression.] What else don't I know about? [He shakes his head as if thawing.] On second thought, I don't want to know.

Rhian: [shrugs.]

Rafal: [stops partway out the door as he leaves.] Wait. That doesn't mean the whole genre of tales with animals as captive princess's bridegrooms are... the Pen's... ahem, preferences, right?

Rhian: [quickly] Uhh—probably not.

whats your very honest opinion on Aladdin

In short, I don't like him, but I understand that he's integral to the conflict and thus, can't be scorched off the face of the earth. His narration style was well done speech-wise but irksome content-wise. Too much schmaltz and some pathetic quality to it. He was worse than Hort and Kyma deserved better. And yet, I will say he was a more sympathetic character in the beginning. I just hated that he stole the spotlight from the brothers at times.

You're Bad at dancing??

I would say yes, usually, since it involves spontaneity and because I'm often stiff as far as movement goes. I also wouldn't want to make a fool of myself, so I avoid it. Did I give the opposite impression or shock anyone? I hadn't realized I had, assuming I'm interpreting your response correctly.

I love these concepts! They're all very plausible. Though the Woods seem more forgiving than Gavaldon is, in regards to magic/sorcery, even if it were dark magic, so I wonder why their parents could've been murdered. Did you have a reason in mind?

And, actually, I have a WIP that's slightly similar although Rafal isn't a child (since it's set during canon instead), nor does he "vent" aloud.

what if rafal talked to birds when he was a child

Actually, I can see this and I had a headcanon/AU about it once, where that's how he connected with the stymphs.
