𖤐 ̊⁎+˳✧༺ Welcome to my blog! ༻𖤐 ̊⁎+˳✧

Who am I and what do I do?

I go by El for short (most used), Eloise, or even Eli if that’s what you’d prefer (though not very used); she/her prononouns.

Mostly a VADTD-centric blog. My main focus most of the time are Callisto and Penelope, I love them so so much and have made it a mission to yap about them constantly <3

I post lots of my personal headcanons, AUs, memes and even episode/character/series analyses. Novel reader so beware of spoilers, there are plenty on my page!!

I'm a VADTD fanfic writer and artist, tho I rarely post my art. You can find my fanfics on Ao3 (I'll link my profile down below) ^^

➠ Callisto and/or Penelope haters DNI with me or my posts, you will be blocked. Yes, I will block even if see random hate for no reason—most of all misinformation.

What fandoms am I in—manhwas/webtoons I've read?

(These are obviously not all of them, but mostly the main ones);

Villains Are Destined to Die (VADTD/VADD) — my longtime favorite and hyperfixation

Genshin Impact: EU sever; AR 60; Yelan main

Honkai Star Rail (HSR): EU server; TL 67; Acheron main

Sailor Moon — mostly SM Crystal

How to Win My Husband Over — quickly became one of my favorites, may or may not be because I have a thing for men with red eyes (what can I say I’m a woman of culture)

The Siren: Becoming the Villain's Family

A Business Proposal — comfort manhwa, I watched and enjoyed the kdrama too but the manhwa is pure greatness and I will die on this hill

Daytime Star — comfort manhwa yet again, it’s sooo cute

Positively Yours — comfort manhwa pt.3 :))

Unholy Blood — another one of my longtime favs, Euntae and Hayan my beloved <3

Where can you find me?

I have pages on a few other socials, and I'm usually pretty active except stated otherwise. All of my profiles are still very much dedicated to VADTD or underwent changes to conform:

Read my fanfics on Ao3 — For now I only post my fanfics on Ao3 so if you see them posted somewhere else, that is not me! Please let me know if you come across anything like that, or any sort of plagiarism of my works (yes, it has happened before, on a whole different site too *sobs*)

Eloise_175 on X/Twitter — Quite active on there lately, sometimes I post things I don't end up posting on here, like threads and whatnot

VADTD Discord server — I tend to be pretty active on discord and consequently on the VADTD server too, everyone is welcomed to join! (please make sure to read the rules carefully ^^)

calliopeys_ on Instagram — I don’t really post much on there as I’m not an Instagram person, but hopefully I’ll get around to posting more on there as well. Created a new account from scratch to maybe post my art and fanfic updates. If I see an influx of people from here on there, I may do some of those quick asks in the stories :))

eloise175_ on TikTok — not as empty as before, and I’ll be posting art trends and silly memes on here :D

Calliope: Penelope Eckhart x Callisto Regulus

Characters:

PENELOPE. MY EMPRESS. ETERNAL LOVE AND GODDESS DIVINE. ONE CHANCEEEE I BEG ON MY KNEES 🙏

“there is never a dull moment when I’m with you” just make out already.

I love whatever the hell is wrong with him, god I love men <3

She is wearing the dress from right after the hunt when she visited Callisto in his convalescence, and to his insistence that she ask of him anything as a favor for saving his life. So Penelope had him promising to not kill her no matter what he heard (all the nonsense she spewed at the trial was sure to anger him), and he got offended by her implication

But even so, when she is essentially insulting him to his face, she was still the most beautiful to him in that moment

Callisto has always hated being reduced to just some ‘bloodthirsty killer,’ as well as all the nasty rumors circling around him, which was another load of bull most of the time machinated by his step mother to weaken his position and tear him down

That’s not what he is, Callisto doesn’t kill because he enjoys it but because he has to, for him it’s been ‘kill or be killed’ ever since he was a kid and his father shipped him off to war, it’s his fight or flight instinct at this point

That’s why he was so offended by Penelope’s words, her seeing him the same way everyone else does actually hurts. While he couldn’t care less about what society thinks of him, her opinion matters because she is dear to him

Penelope isn’t the one to change him, she never really put in effort in his route, she was her unapologetic true self and that’s what won him over in the end. Her honesty was a breath of fresh air for Callisto, given how used he is to fake platitudes and lies told with the intent to appease him and keep him good

But even when she does lie, Penelope is without fail disrespectful to him in a way that doesn’t betray who she is. She ends up doing what she wants anyway, which he finds amusing and oftentimes endearing, it’s part of her charm and why he fell for her

Penelope never really had to try and change him in that age old ‘I can fix him’ trope. Callisto is the one who willingly changes for her because he loves her and, in turn, wants to be loved by her wholly. She only gave him the criteria and he basically said ‘aight bet’

When I say that they understand each other like no one can, I mean it. Penelope’s understand of him comes slowly, (this is partly due to her being wary of him and her avoidance of his route). Piece by piece, small things here and there provided by Callisto himself that she holds on to and keeps tabs on—she remembers what he says and makes use of these little things to better understand him.

Whereas Callisto understands that Penelope’s tough act is just a facade from the beginning, because he did the very same thing growing up. To him, she is an open book if only one was interested enough to look past appearances and rumors. Her mean words and rebuttals matter too, he keeps track of what she hates so he won’t do it again

I find it so utterly romantic and almost intimate, because Callisto has played by his own rules from the very beginning. He is a proud man and he is royalty, but to win his place by Penelope’s side, he knows he has to be honest with her—a good example of this was his disastrous confession/proposal in the greenhouse

He was not being genuine about his true motives and circled around it, hiding behind the guise of a loveless marriage of convenience, Callisto was denying the both of them the honesty they deserved

they’re such a hot mess of a couple hevhsbs plss

THE CONFESSION IS COMING SEDATE ME *implodes*

it’s giving girlfailure and boyfumble, someone help them please they have no idea what they’re doing, one shared braincell between these two 😭✋

Callisto looks like he’s about to panic so bad, while also being on the receiving end of a cuteness overload attack—and Penelope has probably never looked more like a sopping wet cat (affectionate)
