Ace, where are you from?
(Or, Congrats, Ace is now Welsh)
So, personal headcanon: The Queendom of Roses is similar to the Uk, by having it so that the different regions are culturally different, with the western bit resembling Wales, and all the cultural influences and stereotypes invoked, mainly mining, strong working class vibes (even if his dad is a magician) and the hobby of complaining about the southern parts of the Queendom (like how in real life many Welsh people have some choice words for the English, but then again, it’s the Uk, everyone complains about the English, including the English)
*Study session of the freshman cast at Ramshackle*
Yuu: Hey, Ace, so where exactly in the Queendom are you from?
Ace: The town of Lledr. Western area of the Queendom.
Deuce: Figured that.
Ace: Really, how can you tell?
Crewel: *Holds up a stone with some metal ore within it* Does anyone know what mineral this is?
Ace: Zinc, Copper and magnesium ore encased within slate.
Crewel, visibly surprised:… that’s… correct…
Deuce, whispering: How did you know?
Ace: Most of my neighbors and extended family worked in the mining industry back home, learnt minerals early on.
Deuce: …
*In the Heartslabyul dorm*
Student A: So there was this westerner…
Ace: Please stop.
Student B: Why, too offensive?
Ace: No, because ever since I joined this dorm, I’ve heard every joke about mining, sheep beastmen and choirs, and they are all bloody boring.
Cater overhearing this: …
*Ace and Epel talking about what their family does for a profession*
Ace: My da, he had a simple choice you see. The pit like his da, or do something else. My uncles died in that pit…
Epel: Thats…
Ace: So now he does magic tricks at shows now, very satisfying.
Epel: …
*At a table with Ruggie and Jack, where politics somehow was brought up*
Ace: I’ve done all with the current minister. He set the army on my uncles and their mates back in their strikes. All they wanted, was decent wages.
Ruggie: Honestly, same.
*Ruggie and Ace fist bumps *
Jack: …
*At a gym class*
Ace: There’s a lot you can do with a bit of a magic and a broomstick.
Sebek: Oh, what’s that?
Ace: Banks in bloody Southern Queendom for a start.
Sebek: Huh?
*Jamil, Floyd and Ace at basketball practice drinking water*
Jamil: Don’t know how you put up with all those rules at your dorm.
Ace: Simple, I’m from the west see. That means I put up with chinless, clueless Southern Queendomers telling me what to do.
Floyd: *Laughing like a hyena*
Jamil:… what does that even mean?
*Talking with Vil*
Ace: I can sing you know. Should have joined a choir, but I submitted the application at the wrong office. *smiles cheekily*
Vil: …
*In the kitchen with Trey*
Ace: Laverbread…
Trey: Hmm?
Ace: You can’t get laverbread around here, haven’t you noticed that? How’s a student supposed to study without proper food.
Trey: I thought you said you like cherry pie and cheeseburgers?
Ace: I do, and those are my favorites. But don’t you miss a little bit of home?
Trey: *Looks up Laverbread* Ayo what?!?
(Laverbread is a food product made with Laver, a type of seaweed, and is part of traditional cuisine in Welsh culture)
Ortho: Hey, apparently there is this town with a really long name.
Riddle: really?
Ortho: Yeah, here. *shows phone*
Riddle: How do you even pronounce it?
Ace, walking by but overheard it: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
Riddle and Ortho: … How?
Ace/: Also, the last part was added for PR.
Riddle: So what was the original name?
Ace: Llanfairpwllgwyngyll
Riddle: (How do you even make some of those noises?)
*Back to the study session*
All of the Freshman minus Ace: No reason.
Ace: …
(I really hoped this was not one of those ideas that sounded better in one’s head, many of the quotes brought to you by the British Sapper unit in Company of Heroes 2)
