How do you think the two of them would act when they're in loveeeeeee? <3
(Rielle & Mina i mean)
I rewatched lots of Ariel, Jasmine, Eric, and Aladdin clips to help me write this, since I think Rielle and Mina would have traits of both princesses and princes ^^ It made me really appreciate how much emotion the Disney animators were able to convey in just the characters’ faces.
Curiouser and Curiouser…
Rielle…
… is the type to fall fast and fall hard. In a perpetual state of limerence.
He's terrible at hiding it. His expressions always give him away--those longing gazes that linger like the smell of the sea on the beach, snuck glances even when he knows his crush is looking. Always looks at his crush like they’re the most valuable treasure in the entire world.
It’s not even limited to The Looks he gives. There’s so many other telltale signs: sighing and giggling randomly, daydreaming, wandering with no destination in mind, rambling about nothing in particular, spacing out mid-conversation, etc.
Big believer in "love at first sight" and gushes to his friends about it. Gets defensive when Minajael someone else tells him, "Slow down. You can't marry someone you just met. You barely even know them." (Rielle’s response: “You can if it’s true love!!”)
… He speaks to statues and busts as though they were his crush. Like he’ll flutter his lashes, lean on the statues/busts, and swoon 😭 “What? Run away with you… B-But it’s so… sudden!!” No one knows if this is meant to be practice for the real thing or if it’s just Rielle’s imagination getting away from him.
He picks flower petals and plays the “loves me”, “loves me not” game! Sometimes he doesn’t do the game at all, he just dances around and smells the flowers, or plucks them and tucks them behind his (very confused) classmates’ ears.
When Rielle talks to his crush, he tends to play with his hair or clothes. (He just can’t stop fidgeting! His nerves get the better of him.) And if his crush smiles at him? Bro’s on cloud nine and can’t think of anything else that day.
He’s the type of guy to share everything with the people he likes, crush included. Here, have a bite of his food! Check out this new trinket he found! How about a ride on a horse-drawn carriage (Rielle will guide the horses :) Does he have experience? No, but it’ll be fun riding together, right?)?
Has a tendency to trail after the object of his affections like how a loyal pup might follow its owner around. He also actively drags his crush into activities with him, similar to how a big, excitable dog might tug someone along by the leash. Rielle wants to spend as much time with them as possible!!
Whenever he hangs out with them, local businesses frequently mistake the two for a couple. Rielle gets all bashful about it and asks if they really do look like a couple. Acts very overtly happy if he is affirmed.
He's touchy. Hugging and hand grabs are the norm for him, partly because he wants to be close with his crush and partly because he just goes by what feels "right" to him, social expectations aside. Gives greeting kisses on the cheeks too, a greeting from back home.
He tries to impress his crush with knowledge on cutlery and random everyday human items. (Rielle does not realize this would only impress a merperson with zero background on the world above.) Fixates on the concept of indirect kisses—those shared when people press their lips to the same eating utensils or cups.
If his crush makes a remark commenting on his cuteness or immaturity, Rielle pouts and insists that he’s SUPER grown-up! (He worries that they don’t see him as being mature enough to be in a romantic relationship.)
He likes to sing for his crush! It’s a chance for Rielle to share a part of merfolk culture—and himself—with them. The lullaby from his mother to lullaby him to sleep, the mermaid princess’s love song to her human prince… There’s many important pieces to impart!
Rielle’s reckless when it comes to love. He dashes in headfirst, regardless of the danger. If you’re sinking in a storm, Rielle’s the lifesaver that’ll bring you to shore and breathe life back into you.
Calls his dad on the phone to tell him about his newfound love (to which his dad disapproves). You’re pretty sure you overheard their argument at some point. “Papa, I LOVE them!” / “Not when you’re living under MY sea, mister! You’ll obey MY rules.” / “Well, I’m living on land now, and I’m a grown guppy that can make his own decisions!”
Rielle came close to kissing them once. They’d taken a little rowboat out to a lagoon listening to the sounds of nature and watching the fish and fireflies. With such a romantic setting, the two almost leaned in for a kiss—only for the boat to capsize last minute, soaking them! Rielle thankfully took it in stride and helped his crush up, letting them rely on him to get them safely back to shore and dried off.
Minajael…
… is initially cautious and guarded, but lets his walls down up over time. In spite of how nonchalant he usually is, love is something Mina takes seriously!!
He's used to people chasing him for his hand and employing all kinds of crazy tactics to try and trick him into reciprocating their advances. The first time he catches feelings, he's suspicious and doubts its authenticity. What if it's another trap or trick? He has to make certain this is "real" before he seriously pursues it.
Unlike Rielle, Mina has restraint and takes time to adjust and step into his newfound crush. He pays close attention to the object of his affections from a distance, judging their morals and character—are they a good match with his? The last thing he’d want to do is rush into things and end up wasting everyone’s time.
Mina tests his crush in subtle ways. For example, asking a difficult question and seeing if they answer honestly (even if the answer isn’t glamorous) or tell a convenient lie. How do they react to his prodding and teasing? What about a slight brush of the hand? He wants to see how they react.
When he finally, finally lets his heart decide for him, it may as well be a freefall. It’s so liberating to fully embrace those feelings, to act on them. He feels like he’s soaring, toppling, and freewheeling through the sky. Completely disregards his father's disapproval; has committed to reassuring his crush that they can run away together and start a humble, non-royal life.
Is a little more absentminded. Like he’ll catch himself lazily running his hand through water, or just staring after his crush, hand on his cheek, from the balcony.
Loves nothing more than putting on his commoner’s cosplay a casual outfit and just… hanging out, doing whatever it is that regular folks do—having those authentic moments with his crush. Window shopping, gaming at the arcade, eating at this WcDonald’s place, whatever. If they’re ever hesitant to go with him? “Don’t be,” he coaxes them with a wink, his hand extended. “Do you trust me? Then come on, show me a whole new world.”
He’s a teaser and flirter. It’s a thrill to be the one pursuing (rather than the one pursued) for once, and Mina’s particularly dangerous because he’s entirely aware of how strong his face card is + knows how to use his charm to its fullest.
He becomes increasingly bold as he familiarizes himself with his feelings and his crush’s comfort limits. His head laid on their shoulder, an arm wrapped around their waist, lowering his mouth to their ear to propose an escape to get up to some trouble.
Shows his crush pictures of his tiger back home, in that same way that a guy might show his dog to score brownie points. Who doesn’t love a guy that’s good with animals?
Although Mina comes off as cool and collected, he gets embarrassed talking about his crush with his friends. They tend to be giggly and nosy about it (“What’re they like? Tell me, tell me!” Rille pleads), and Mina finds that it’s difficult for him to formulate words. For a genius like him, being tongue-tied is a strange sensation—but he doesn’t dislike it. In fact, he loves the challenge it presents, how he has to find a way to overcome it and say what is really on his mind.
Doesn’t try to wow his crush with money. He goes for simple little things, genuine tokens of his affection. For example, an apple or a flower picked fresh from the tree! Mina thinks there’s more heart to these kinds of things than extravagant displays of wealth.
He’s not usually stern, but he absolutely can be if he senses that his crush is in danger. In these rare moments, Mina stands his ground, adopts a fierce look, and doles out commands a firm voice usually reserved for a future ruler issuing serious commands. “Release them—by order of the crown prince of the Scalding Sands.”
Of course, he’s gone on a nighttime magic carpet ride with his crush. Mina came to them on his magic carpet (no biggie for him) and invited them. Then off they went, zooming all over Sage’s Island, skimming the surfaces of water, hugging clouds, and being among the moon and the stars.
The magic carpet ride ends with him returning them home. He lingers, as do they, gazing at each other—until the magic carpet takes the initiative and makes them kiss! Mina apologizes for it after the fact, but also bravely admits that he doesn’t regret taking that leap of faith.

♦️A house-husband AU in which Cater Diamond navigates his life at home while fighting the overwhelming feelings he's convinced will ruin the one thing he's ever let himself have.
Disclaimer; this story handles themes of grief, unhealthy hyper-fixation of love, attachment issues, depression, eating disorders and thoughts of self-harm and harming others (all inward,never outward).
Cater edit by @lovesick-level-up
Guest tag: @reirei404 (sorry in advance,fam.)
One: In the beginning,it was like a movie.
Cater Diamond had been married for three years now. It was something—An achievement, as he often had to remind himself—which still felt immensely surreal to him. Then again, the Overblot fever outbreak which wiped out half the population of Twisted Wonderland was also something he couldn't believe had actually happened.
Still, he never even dreamt of marriage. Let alone being the one in charge of the household while his breadwinning wife did all the heavy lifting (figuratively but also sometimes literally since she didn't like him doing all the physical work by himself.) So, yes, the outbreak which killed a bunch of people was something he probably shouldn't undermine but Cater Diamond had been married for three years and that should definitely be more important than focusing on the really negative events of the world in which he could not change.
"Hi, baaaby!" Cater called out in a slight tune from the kitchen as he heard the front door open and the sounds of Yuu's footsteps. He wiped his hands on the hanging cloth near the open archway, adjusted his 'Kiss me!' apron he'd gotten online last week and hurried out to greet his wife.
When Yuu looked up as she took off her shoes at the entryway,she beamed at him and warmth spread across his chest.
"Wow,I don't remember hiring such a cute chef." Yuu said as she placed her shoes aside and stepped onto the landing which still kept her from being fully inside. Cater's eyes briefly took the way her socked feet were aligned almost perfectly along that line and it unsettled him that she didn't cross it yet.
"You kinda look like my husband." Yuu's words snapped him back to reality and Cater, despite the churning in his stomach and the way his hands itched to pull her to him, grinned coyly at her.
"That'll make my seduction a lot easier, actually."
Yuu blew out an amused sound at that before she laughed and went straight to embrace him. Cater came forward to catch her; the eagerness in which he spread his arms and wrapped them around her allowing another emotion to surface once she nuzzled into him and he buried his nose into her hair. In that split second, he felt how his hands would grip at her until his nails dug into her skin, blooming red trickling out. How it would be so easy to grab the back of her head so he could tilt her head back and sink his teeth into her throat. The taste of her on his tongue bittersweet.
Cater blinked and the images flooded away from his mind and when he looked down, there was only Yuu who stared up at him expectantly.
"Aren't you going to give me a welcome back kiss?" She said, almost too shyly. As if they had never kissed before. It sent a terrible ache into his heart.
Cater smiled, gentle and with all the love he could muster out of himself.
"The apron says you have to kiss me, actually." He pulled away enough so she could see the writing on the apron.
Yuu laughed again. The sound so full of life, Cater wondered what type of silence would it leave behind if she ever died.
He couldn't remember the way his mother and sisters laughed anymore. The last time he heard any of their voices was through a phone call just before they died.
Cater drew in a breath the same time Yuu went to slide her hand behind the nape of his neck. As she drew him down so their lips would meet, Cater saw the flickering images of her bloodied body before he closed his eyes and kissed her back.
"I'm telling you, Trey, you're probably a bit too intimidating is all. Try to chill a bit."
A little while after Yuu returned, she'd gotten the urge to go out for a quick jog and invited Cater to join, but the idea didn't appeal to him and so he told her he'd work on an early dinner for when she came back.
Yuu had looked disappointed but she kissed him on his cheek and went off anyway.
Now, as he flipped the flat bread he'd made earlier in the day on the pan, his phone tucked between his ear and shoulder, he was doing his best to give some marital advice to his close friend Trey Clover who had recently gotten married to his childhood friend slash neighbor.
On the other side, he could hear a sigh of disbelief before Trey spoke.
"Intimidating? I think that's a first for me..," Cater could tell he was running a hand over his face,glasses pushed up slightly as he did so just from the sound of his friend's voice.
He smiled sympathetically even when Trey couldn't see him.
"Well, you do have a tendency to be just a liiiiiitle too mushy, maybe that gives her the jitters?" Cater took in the smell of the crisp bread before he slid it onto a plate. The way it looked so perfect made his chest swell up with pride.
"You're saying I love-bomb her too much? I didn't think that was ever a bad thing. You two seem happy to do it."
"Uh,yeah, but your wifey is like a complete introvert,Trey. For all you know, she gets overwhelmed before she can feel anything else." And that was still putting it nicely. Cater had met Trey's wife once before they married but she left an impression on him from how quiet and reclusive she was. To think Trey had been around her since his childhood was surprising even to Cater.
And that was back before the outbreak happened. He wasn't really sure how to even wonder what she was like now.
"I don't want to make this anymore difficult for her than it already is,Cater." Trey's words were somber and struck a chord in him, so after placing a new flatbread on the pan and letting it fry on one side for a couple of minutes, Cater flipped it over and brought his hand away from the pan's handle so he could hold his phone.
"I mean, you've known her your whole life,right?"
"We were neighbours since we were kids,yeah, but we didn't exactly spend every day together. She was scared of boys then. We got a bit closer when our folks decided to do a booth together at the weekly town market."
Cater cocked his head to the side as he put out the stove's fire and clumsily grabbed the bread with his fingers to plop it down onto the same plate earlier. He cringed at the heat his fingers had to endure but hummed delightfully when he licked them and tasted the rose oil and salt he used to lather on the bread.
"Her parents baked too?" He asked.
There was a slight pause before Trey answered.
"No, they did handmade crafts. You could buy one pastry and get one complimentary craft with it. They weren't doing so well on their own so my folks thought they'd help. It was a little better after that since word got around their stuff wasn't just nice to look at but super durable too." There was a painstakingly strong sense of nostalgia behind his words then, that it made Cater feel as if he knew exactly how her parents were like. What they looked like and how warm they must've been.
"...Has she mentioned them to you? I mean, you know about their..." Cater's voice trailed off at that moment,uncertain how to go about the topic and as if he sensed it, Trey sighed and though he did his best to sound like it didn't wear him down, Cater could hear the grief behind his words.
"No,she hasn't. Can't mention them any time sooner and I won't until she does it herself. Their deaths aren't mine to excavate...and that includes her grief too."
"Geez,Trey, if I was a girl and not crazy over my wife, I think I would've been so down bad for you. Like, okay Mr. Sensitivity, please don't seduce me with your sense of compassion and patience or my clothes are gonna fall off."
"Cater,Great Sevens, you're unbelievable."
It was dismissal to say the least but Cater didn't want Trey feeling so down and plus, it was a bit uncomfortable to talk about someone else's dead parents. He knew Trey would get it anyway so Cater smiled to himself.
"She'll get around eventually." He said optimistically just as he heard the familiar click of the front door as it unlocked.
"Fingers crossed." Trey said and then Cater ended the call with a quick but supportive goodbye.
He stuffed his phone into his jean's back pocket, double checked the plating for the flatbreads and then brought it out along with the homemade dipping he kept in the fridge.
Yuu was in the middle of wiping the side of her neck with the hand towel Cater gave her for her birthday last year and the sight of the embroidered initial of her name which he took months to get it right sent an exuberant thrill down his spine which struck him in the chest too when she caught his gaze and smiled at him.
"Why are you having heart eyes?" Yuu asked, playfully. She folded the hand towel in two and placed it on the back of their couch once she was finished with it, a slightly heavy gleam in her eyes when Cater arched his brows innocently.
"Heart eyes? What? I'm just having normal eyes now,babe."
The edges of her lips twitched but then she shifted her attention on the plate in his hands. Her expression softened but it was also unreadable and suddenly Cater was fighting the urge to not freeze up.
"Just one plate again?" She sounded so tender, so,so very careful. His uneasiness grew.
"What? You don't like sharing with me? Boo hoo, I thought we were bonding." He moved as he talked, effortlessly placing the plate onto the dining table before he came to wrap his arms around Yuu's waist. He leaned in before she could say anything and kissed her so deeply that when it ended, her cheeks were flushed and her body hummed pleasantly against his.
Cater smiled down at her,lips pouting and eyes alight with a clear intent to drown out her silly little worries.
Yuu licked her bottom lip,dazed rather than flirty, and her eyes were earnestly conflicted but Cater knew he just needed a little more pushing to keep her away from thinking too much.
"Oh,baby." He cooed, one hand pressing behind the small of her back while the other came to tilt her chin up.
"I like sharing meals with you." Cater purred and watched keenly as the emotions flickered about in her eyes; worry,doubt,and most painfully,love. Oh, how she loves him. Cater didn't deserve it. But it was his. So he would take it as selfishly as he could.
"I know and I do too." Yuu said, smiling at him again. Her arms came to settle around his waist and she even pulled him in closer. But then her gaze shifted to the plate on their dining table and when he caught the way the thoughts formed in her eyes then, Cater imagined gouging them out. Not because he hated them. No. Never. Never because of hate but because it hurt too much to see how much love she had for him.
"But you haven't eaten a portion for yourself in weeks." He could just hear the words come out of her so clearly but before they did, he leaned down and kissed her.
Again and again and again until she could do nothing but melt into his affections.
Capri Notes;
So, this was unannounced lmao. I didn't include this in the previous list cause I was unsure about posting it, but I think it's okay. Cater has always been my favorite to write with angst, he just seems to invite it, you know? I have a thought about making it a series with some other handpicked characters but we'll see. It'll be a short series though, preferably with a happy end so don't worry.
Frankly if I was Yuu I couldn't help but mess with the twst cast and tell them wild lies about my world, cause what are they going to do? Check for themselves? I would probably show them pictures of the giant spiders from Harry Potter and say there is a species of spiders that have developed a taste for human fresh and only a sacrifice each year stops them from eating the humanity and then watch the boys horrified faces.
😭 actually this is such a fucking great idea.
Atp you could tell them Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and Aang are real people and whatever happened to them were set in different timelines of human history.
"What are they going to do? Check themselves?" EXACT-FUCKING-LY like DAMN this awakened a new sense of chaotic energy as someone who loves Otherworlder Yuu tbh.
You know what would be a FANTASTIC addition to this? By telling them the reason you're in Twisted Wonderland is because You were banned from earth due to public fear.

What RSA students hold during battles isn't actually a sword, it's a baton (a conductor's baton).
It's an item that's separate from their magic-stone brooch meant to reinforce their visual theme, and it allows for more customization in appearance than a magical pen.
Trein uses the same brooch-style magic stone as RSA, since I imagined both following a traditional style. (source)
Crewel also carries a rod, but he wears his magic stone dangling from a strap, giving off a flashier impression (his personal taste takes priority over tradition).
Vargas's bracelet is also just his own personal preference.
I imagine that once they're adults they're free to design their magic stones however they like, so it might be fun to think about how the students will customize theirs in the future. (source)
Also, Idia's magic stone is set in a magical device, but he probably did receive a standard magical pen when he first enrolled.
He just took it apart on his own and went all out on modifying it. What a troublemaker. (source)
