I don't know how to hype up a drawing 😶

Anyway FRIENDS,FOE AND UNDECIDED

Let me present to you one of the fan kids I'm the most proud of (he's literally just a tiny verse of his dad and it pisses Vil off)

The one and only Edward! (It is a twilight reference)

This little freak is always looking to take the best picture of ''beauty''.

he is a bit of a perfectionist and will force you to pose for hours if it's needed to take the perfect picture.

I will not shut up about him nor the next kids y'all have been warned.

Also I'm thinking about changing my post day from Sunday and Thursday to Saturday and Wednesday do y'all care or have any other suggestions??

Like I said I won't be shutting up about him so here have the dumb picture he took

It is very blurry cause it's like

2mm small but idc

This was a frame from a Rookvil It’s Over Isn’t It (Steven Universe) animatic that I might finish, someday.

Rook being a proud dad

Evidently, Vil’s lipstick was not smudge-proof.

*insert original image of Echo from the Bad Batch here, I do not have it on me*

...So. I had planned to draw Vil... and I did, but not until after making a grumpy little Shadow sketch. Which I had not planned.

Do you ever think about how-

Where are the freckles?! Where did they go..!?😭

justice for rook's freckles

ehe

+10 years rookvil

Just a dumb idea

So, I'm not all that caught up with canon lore yet, but one thing that annoys me at times is when people blame Rook for his bad new style (it's not even bad. He looks cute, look at him smiling so much he's so baby). Rook has been shown several times to do things on his own volition without even warning Vil (like, you know, changing dorms?!) and you'd expect me to believe he's not the one to have chosen his new style ?

Anyway, leave my man and his bad haircut choices alone. What's the point of having hair that can grow back if you don't have some fun with them while you're still at school ?

With how Rook stalks Leona and Vil (is it really stalking with Vil if Vil is very much aware and consents enough for rook to be in the open?) if both of them date Jamil, would he also be stalked?

He's already hyper aware of his surroundings so adding rook into the mix feels like he should just get more time to sleep.

Thank you SO MUCH for asking! Lemme introduce you to Vil/Rook/Leona shipping, the sheer potential of Rook-Jamil, and my Rook metamour theory!

First, I'm a big Vil/Rook/Leona shipper. I call Rook/Leona the Hunter/Hunted ship. Who's the hunter? Who's the hunted? Who knows. As @aria-faye (THE Rook connoisseur who made me love Rook too lol) said, they both come from the same place, have the same culture, and are both somewhat outsiders in their own way. Rook doesn't really fit the Sunset Savanah stereotype or the Savanaclaw mentality in full. Leona doesn't fit the ideal of a prince and gets ostracized by his own people. Both of them work really well as a ship with Vil and it makes this funny Pomefiore-to-Savanaclaw pipeline with Rook in the middle, having been in both dorms.

For Jamil, once more quoting V "I feel like Rook kind of already keeps an eye on Jamil, a bit. He watches things he finds beautiful, and Jamil is definitely beautiful." Plus there didn't seem to be any adverse reaction from Jamil toward Rook for the entirety of book 5. And Rook is so desperately honest and true to himself that it contrasts completely with Jamil who still struggles to find himself after a lifetime of lying. He'd be a good push for Jamil to be more honest too, a good influence.

In relation to the N2 squad, here's my answer : METAMOUR. I'm already polyshipping 24/7, it might not yet be completely obvious in my blog but I ship more OT3 than actual couples. I work better with 3+ characters relationships than regular couples. So since Vil, Leona, and Jamil are already dating, why couldn't I add Rook too? He's not part of the N2 squad, but he's such a constant shadow to Vil that it's hard to imagine them away from each other. Leona and Jamil would start dating him fully knowing Rook is there and not leaving. Really, Rook would probably be Vil's first boyfriend before Leona and Jamil become a thing.

That doesn't mean Leona and Jamil would necessarily start dating Rook though, and that's where the metamour happens. They all share Vil, but whether there is a relationship between Leona and Rook, or Jamil and Rook is up to... my mood, mostly xD Or reader's interpretation I guess. Maybe they just get comfortable simply sharing Vil, maybe they have a sort of queer platonic relationship, maybe they're all dating.

I tend to treat Rook as a bonus when it comes to N2, because he doesn't fit the group, but it's hard to imagine him away, and he's so stupidly supportive that he'd probably be a good influence on forever-depressed-Leona and desperately-confused-Jamil.

Tldr : Jamil and Leona would start dating Vil knowing Rook would be there anyway, so if they ever feel uncomfortable about it they can only blame themselves.

(Who'd you think held the camera in those illus?)

When you need to declare your love to your wife but it is so strong you can't help but revert back to french.

You know the perk of being french ? I can write Rook rambling haha !

(Though I am incapable of writing poetry, so here is the poem I used and its approximate translation:

Je respire où tu palpites,

Tu sais ; à quoi bon, hélas !

Rester là si tu me quittes,

Et vivre si tu t'en vas ?

(I breathe where you throb, you know ;

What for, alas! stay here if you leave me, and live if you go away?)

A quoi bon vivre, étant l'ombre

De cet ange qui s'enfuit ?

A quoi bon, sous le ciel sombre,

N'être plus que de la nuit ?

(What good is living, being the shadow of this fleeing angel?

What for, under the dark sky, being from the night only?)

Je suis la fleur des murailles

Dont avril est le seul bien.

Il suffit que tu t'en ailles

Pour qu'il ne reste plus rien.

(I am the flower of your walls for which April is the only good.

You only need to leave for me to be left with nothing.)

Tu m'entoures d'Auréoles;

Te voir est mon seul souci.

Il suffit que tu t'envoles

Pour que je m'envole aussi.

(You surround me with Halos;

I care only about seeing you.

You need only to take flight for me to fly too.)

Si tu pars, mon front se penche ;

Mon âme au ciel, son berceau,

Fuira, dans ta main blanche

Tu tiens ce sauvage oiseau.

(Should you leave, my front/forehead shall lean ;

My soul in the sky, its cradle, will flee,

In your white hand you hold this wild bird.)

Que veux-tu que je devienne

Si je n'entends plus ton pas ?

Est-ce ta vie ou la mienne

Qui s'en va ? Je ne sais pas.

(What would I become, should I not hear your steps anymore?

Is it your life or mine that is fleeing ?

I cannot tell?)

Quand mon orage succombe,

J'en reprends dans ton coeur pur ;

Je suis comme la colombe

Qui vient boire au lac d'azur.

(When my thunder dies down, I take some from your pure heart ;

I am like the dove that just drank in the azur lake.)

L'amour fait comprendre à l'âme

L'univers, salubre et béni ;

Et cette petite flamme

Seule éclaire l'infini

(Love makes the soul understand the universe, healthful and blessed ;

And this lonely little flame shines upon the endless)

Sans toi, toute la nature

N'est plus qu'un cachot fermé,

Où je vais à l'aventure,

Pâle et n'étant plus aimé.

(Without you, all of nature is only a closed cell where I go on an adventure,

Pale and no longer beloved.)

Sans toi, tout s'effeuille et tombe ;

L'ombre emplit mon noir sourcil ;

Une fête est une tombe,

La patrie est un exil.

(Without you, everything falls apart ;

Shadows fill my dark eyebrow ;

A feast/party is a tomb,

The homeland is an exile.)

Je t'implore et réclame ;

Ne fuis pas loin de mes maux,

O fauvette de mon âme

Qui chantes dans mes rameaux !

(I beg and demand ;

Do not flee any longer from my pain,

O warbler of my soul who sings in my twigs!)

De quoi puis-je avoir envie,

De quoi puis-je avoir effroi,

Que ferai-je de la vie

Si tu n'es plus près de moi ?

(What could I want?

What could I be afraid of?

What would I do of life without you by my side?)

Tu portes dans la lumière,

Tu portes dans les buissons,

Sur une aile ma prière,

Et sur l'autre mes chansons.

(You carry in the light,

You carry in the bushes,

On a wing my prayers,

On the other my songs.)

Que dirai-je aux champs que voile

L'inconsolable douleur ?

Que ferai-je de l'étoile ?

Que ferai-je de la fleur ?

(What will I tell to the fields that hide my inconsolable pain?

What would I do of the star?

What would I do of the flower?)

Que dirai-je au bois morose

Qu'illuminait ta douceur ?

Que répondrai-je à la rose

Disant : " Où donc est ma soeur ?"

(What will I tell to the morose forest that illuminated your softness?

What will I answer at the rose asking "Where is my sister?")

J'en mourrai ; fuis, si tu l'oses.

A quoi bon, jours révolus !

Regarder toutes ces choses

Qu'elle ne regarde plus ?

(I would die ;

Flee if you dare.

What is the point, days gone! of looking at all those she no longer looks at?)

Que ferai-je de la lyre,

De la vertu, du destin ?

Hélas ! et, sans ton sourire,

Que ferai-je du matin ?

(What would I do of the lyre, of virtue, of destiny?

Alas! And, without your smile,

What would I do of the morning?)

Que ferai-je, seul, farouche,

Sans toi, du jour et des cieux,

De mes baisers sans ta bouche,

Et de mes pleurs sans tes yeux !

(What would I do, alone, wild, without you, of days and heavens,

Of my kisses without your lips,

And of my tears without your eyes!)

Il suffit que tu t'envoles pour que je m'envoles aussi - Victor Hugo

(You need only take flight for me to fly too))

Hi! I was curious, aside from the loser- I kean always number 2 trio, who else are your favourite characters and what are your favourite ships for them?

Well my all time favorite is Azul (I mean, look at this beautiful octopus, how could I not love him?) and I reaaaaaally like the AshenViper ship. Just perfect. 10/10 insufferable liars in love.

I also love Cater. (Yes I have a thing for liars and masking characters) His ships... I like the Depression Trio (Cater/Leona/Idia). Trey/Cater is also a solid ship I think. A friend of mine also made me LOVE Cater/Azul.

Idia is just peak. Family angst/fluff is the best kind of content for me so of course I love him. As said previously, Depression Trio for fav ship with him.

Rook, my beloved. Joy of my life. Obviously I ship him with Vil (how could I not?) but I also really enjoy Hunter/Hunted (Leona/Rook, who knows who's the hunted one there).

Ruggie and Jade I like to go with the Manipulation Gang (Ruggie/Jade/Jamil).

Hahaha...I love Leona and Jamil doesn't consider Rook as their own. Well it's their own fault. Does Rook see them as his own?

I'm sure Rook would love to get closer to them. He's already obsessed with Leona, and Jamil is very charming, that sounds like a good time to get them both on top of Vil. He knows he's not in their heart (yet) though. Who knows, maybe someday?

What are your thoughts on the other popular ships of the loser squad (Leona x Malleus, Jamil x Azul, & Vil x Rook)?

I'm not exactly fond of Malleus (not hating him but just don't have any particular feeling about him) so I don't really care about Leona/Malleus. I see the potential though.

Ashenviper is my actual favorite ship from Twst (I actually have no idea how I became a N2 squad blog instead of an Ashenviper one haha)

Vil/Rook is perfect and you can pry them from my cold dead hands. They're so perfect that even in the context of my N2 squad I barely manage to separate them.

Where is Rook with the future N2?

-Rook Anon

Rook is the wildest, freest spirit that has ever walked this earth. He disappears for months and reappears out of the blue to hang at the Sunset Savanna palace like he completely belongs here. When Vil is away on a shoot, it's not rare that Rook accompanies him so that he doesn't feel lonely. That's their alone time together.

He regularly sends random pictures of sceneries and animals to Jamil and Vil, always sends best wishes on time for birthdays and festivities when he cannot be there, and sends at least one package a week of the most random thing he's found/bought.

He's also the weird uncle of the N2 children. Urcon and him get along an ungodly amount. The guards at the palace regularly find them hiding in bushes and observing the birds and insects flying around. They wax poetry about everything and nothing. Rook is very supportive of all of Urcon's strange interests.
