Oh look a 3 headed monkey!

Thank you so much! <3

I've drawn the Fairy Gala outfits a handful of times (mostly Ruggie's) but it's always fun to draw them at any given excuse :)

(close-ups under read more)

the orange and reddish hues are literally how i imagine his hair actually looks like

Thank you <3 Have a fem Leona!

His hair does fade into an orange hue, I just exaggerate it a bit.

Thank you so much!

Didn't for his parents but I had a general idea in my head for Falena and his wife.

I headcanon that Leona inherited his mom's eyes and stern gaze while Falena inherited his father's red hair.

Here ya go:

I guess that bc I'm a Leorruggie account you want Leorruaggie fics, so ask and I shall deliver:

Swallow the sunrise by hyenasquad (werewolfsquad) (ongoing)

After a coup d'état Leona and Ruggie have to flee with Cheka and take care of him until they can get him on the throne again. It's has great worldbuilding build upon Twst's own and great chemistry between Leona, Ruggie and Cheka. Also very endearing supporting cast. It's so so good! I'm seated every week to read the next chapter.

You’re in My Head, You’re in My Blood by Rachello344 (completed)

Trein bribes Ruggie into joining the debate team and makes a new friend, whom Leona gets jealous of. Very fun, miscomunication bc Leona's a tsundere. I always like Trein and Ruggie interactions.

Coup de Grace by parade_owner578 (completed)

Leona and Ruggie kill Leona's father and hide the murder. Pretty good, clearly the interdorm was in preparation for future schemes.

One of your girls by peachy_afterdark (nuclearpeach) (completed)

Ruggie dealing with self doubt while having sex with Leona. Very sweet and lovely. It's in 2nd person and of course NSFW (tho pretty light)

Cat and Mouse by Baby_Doll_Face (completed)

Ruggie thinks how he feels about Leona while he holds the sleeping lion's hand. Funny and cute. Leona is a little shit which is always welcome

Let sleeping hyenas lie by Rachello344 (completed)

Ruggie falls asleep while the Spelldrive team is celebrating their victory. Very short and sweet. It will give you cavities.

Floyd switches Epel's and Ruggies gifts on a whim. Pretty cute interactions between Vil with Epel and Leona with Ruggie

By the stroke of midnight by Rachello344 (completed)

Ruggie disguisses himself to attend the royal ball thrown to find Leona a partner. Very fun and Ruggie gets help from multiple characters who want Leona to owe them. Has NSFW at the very end.

A place of pride (at my side) by emeraldgaze (completed)

A series of short fics around Leona and Ruggie's developing relationship. Very sweet and cute

Ruggie gets territorial and denies his feelings. Short and very funny

If you're king, what does that make me? by impossiblitiesandmiracles (completed)

Coup of the century by Kyuubiluver342 (completed)

There's a coup while Leona and Ruggie are staying in the palace during break. Ruggie's the MVP of the fic really and we also got Leona's boasting about him

Not afraid of you by oubastet (completed)

Post-overblot tension. Acerbic Ruggie towards Leona for the interdorm fiasco, understandably. Really like this one

Chocolate donuts by Jemimimi (completed)

Leona demands Trey teach him how to make donuts. Very adorable and sweet. Trey and Yuu are very fun in this

Just say you're sorry by allgoodsaiyansdeservetails (completed)

Leona finds the most convoluted way to apologize to Ruggie after Book 2. Hilarious and I feel so bad for Yuu, they deserve better than having to deal with NRC's bullshit

Ruggie Bucchi wants to eat the rich by allgoodsaiyansdeservetails (completed)

Malleus wants Leona and Ruggie in his harem so he makes a deal with Ruggie. Look I hate Maleo, but this is so well written it makes me forget about it. It really is just Malleus and Ruggie talking but the conversation is very fun to read.

A song of dreams and wishes by Merukuri (completed)

Leona hears Ruggie sing one time and wants a repeat. This one is so adorable and sweet it will give you cavities

Marked possession by WonderWells (completed)

Unlike Anything by ajisaihime (completed)

Hi! Thank you so much! I feel like I should thank the people who send asks and give me topics to talk about really.

Heya! Thank you<3 <3

Here's your Leoruggie ma'am/sir!

A lot of the haters makes it impossible to ship Leona with anyone who isn’t Vil or Malleus (I don’t hate those two ships, I just really like Leona and I want to ship him with a lot of the other characters like Ruggie, Jamil, Jack, etc.)

For sure, no. My bet is the influx of "fans" (tourists really) from the pandemic.

Fandom, as a space, in general has gotten worse since the pandemic (that's not me saying that before that it was all sunshines and rainbows ofc), but there is a not so small portion of people that joined fandoms bc it is trendy and not bc they actually enjoy the thing, that's why I used the term tourists bc they aren't here for the community nor the work but to fit in with what's popular at the moment. They disregard even the most basic of fandom etiquette and want it to adapt to them.

Add to it the wave of anti-intellectualism and puritanism (you can have standards and red lines obviously, but there's been an over-policing even towards the mildest most inocuous shit, to the point were you see people (mostly kids) asking permission to like things, which I hadn't seen anything like that before), and yeah... it's not looking good...

(I'm also pretty sure that this kind of people are the ones who have always looked down upon anything that can be considered a nerdy interest/hobby but bc now it's popular they act like they discovered it and no one knows better than them. Anime in general is my example for this, before the pandemic you were considered weird for liking it and could be bullied for this, but now you see people who acted like this gushing over anime and denying how it used to be)

Are they fine with it, are they against him, happy someone even likes Leona, sceptical because he is a Hyena?

Besides Cheka who probably loves hanging out with Ruggie, I have some trouble imagine their reaction. Expelly their relationship.

Would be funny if they learn to know him & are like "Leona, if you don't marry this man we will adopt him as our son"

I think that at first they don't want him anywhere near Leona because they have a horrible image of hyenas (from the way Ruggie talks seems that Leona's unbothered attitude towards hyenas is extremely rare specially in the upper echelons), and the animosity goes both ways, Ruggie also hates them, partially bc of his dislike of the monarchy and partially for how Leona has been treated by them. Cheka is the exception of course, as much of a jerk Ruggie can be I doubt he can truly hate a kid, and Cheka loves the new uncle who knows so many fun games and is so nice to him, he had been worried at first that Ruggie would take all of Leona's time and attention but actually he now spends more time with his unca thanks to Ruggie dragging Leona along.

As time passes and they get to interact more and more the hostility starts to die down. The Kingscholars see that Ruggie and Leona truly love each other and are good for one another. They're also confronted with their perception and prejudices of spotted hyenas, specially with Leona and Ruggie's work in the slums. Ruggie on the other hand starts seeing the Kingscholars as actual people not as just state figures, and although he doesn't really lose his dislike towards monarchy as a system, he does gain a more nuanced view of it and does try to find ways to better the system (or at the very least make the royals more grounded to the actual reality of the people).

Once the mutual dislike has finally died down completely, the Kingscholars are so happy that Leona is with Ruggie, and thank the Seven and any deity in existence that Ruggie's thick-skinness, shamelessness and stuborness made him look pass Leona's prickly and unpleasant attitude, because they really are perfect for each other. Leona's been told multiple times how lucky of a man he is much to his chagrin (he is more than aware of it, thanks).

Ruggie, now in good terms with Leona's family, does still sometimes think how weird it is for someone from the slums to be where he is now. Leona tells him to stop worrying about it.

I just read so many fanfics of it on pixiv, and I can never get tired of this trope <3. Especially awkward family dinners that Ruggie and Leona has to suffer.

Fake dating/marriage is always such a fun trope!

Leona asks Ruggie to do him this favour because one: Ruggie will do almost anything for money (and Leona tbh); two: he trusts him and feels comfortable with him; (and three: he may be harboring some feelings). Ruggie despite being thick skinned and shameless, takes a great deal of convincing, a lot of money and the option to bail out at anytime.

They fake date in school and let themselves be seen by the press to sell it better. They don't really change much how they act with each other, they just add a bit of PDA. The added affection is pretty nice, even though they would prefer if it wasn't in public but they gotta sell the lie.

Leona's family is not happy at all with this so they demand Leona to come home to talk and of course to bring Ruggie with him. The conversation is so so tense, nobody wants to be there. After talking about it for a long time, Leona and Ruggie are able to convince the Kingscholars to null the arranged marriage but because one of their points was that this will help the image of the hyenas in the eyes of the general population as well as the royal family's in the eyes of the downtrodden now they gotta marry instead, which they aren't really opposed to to their surprise.

The fake dating has helped their feelings develop and settle, so they end up dating for real this time without ever revealing their plot to anybody (everybody thought they were dating for real the entire time, except Rook (and maybe the prefect) who knew the truth but said nothing).

And because of this, they gotta drop by the palace every once and again because the Kingscholars want to get to know the guy who got Leona out of his shell. The dinners are very akward but they do get better in time. (Ruggie does have to wrestle with his hatred of monarchy)

Let's Go Go!
