unfinished lovemail,, but feel free to read 😭Ace Trappola. Where do I begin? Let’s see, I downloaded TWST in early February. I first chose Azul as my favorite until I got to chapter 10 of the prologue. My life turned upside down. When I first saw Ace, I didn’t think much about him. He was just some boring nice guy who was there only to explain more about the setting. That was until he started being a total asshole. God, my interest skyrocketed when he started insulting Yuu and Grim. It’s sorta…embarrassing. From there I watched him closely with a big grin on my face. I remember laughing when he got hit in the head with Deuce’s cauldron to glaring at him for being difficult during the first technical overblot fight. And then, to being mildly annoyed when Yuu calls Ace and Deuce “an old married couple.” Maybe it was then I should’ve taken the hint I liked (or loved) Ace more than I realized. Looking back, I really did fall in love with Ace at first insult… Onto Book one. Ace storms into Ramshackle and I throw a fit over not being able to let Ace sleep together with Yuu on the same bed. He talks about how he broke some stupid rule and the first thing I thought was “Oh my god. He’s such a fucking idiot” with a huge grin on my face. It was so stupidly endearing and I enjoyed seeing him get all pouty more than past me would’ve liked to admit. It’s just so cute whenever he gets annoyed like usually he’s the one being annoyed. So seeing him get annoyed is so fucking funny and adorable at the same time. And then the whole scene of Cater asking Yuu out on a date. I was so upset at the fact Ace didn’t have some kind of reaction… I really did love him more than I wanted to admit. And then Ace talking shit about Riddle while Riddle was right behind him made me love him even more. Like I was just “He is such a dumbass.” in the most positive, loving way possible. And then Ace calling out Trey for not being a good friend, it showed that he really was more than just some asshole being an asshole. I started seeing him in a different light. Or maybe I fell harder. But in any case, Ace just got better. Him punching Riddle in the face for Yuu just made me so excited. And Ace calling Riddle out made me want to punch him in the face. Lovingly, of course (not). Flash forward to book 3 because book 2 does not exist. Ace being a fucking dumbass and signing a contract with Azul? HILARIOUS. OH MY GOD I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF IT WAS SO FUNNY TO SEE HOW MUCH OF A DUMBASS ACE CAN BE…. Anyways. Ace showing how he was so easily able to lie and keep up a fake facade was even more interesting to me. Like, could this mean Ace is two-faced? A hint towards his special magic? Why is that so relatable???????? That scene singlehandedly slapped me in the face. But that’s not the point. It was then I realized that maybe I liked (loved.) him in a romantic sort of sense. Blah blah, book 3 ends and book 4!!! THAT SCENE. WHERE ACE (and Deuce too I guess) LITERALLY GOES CRAZY RUNNING TO YUU AND GRIM. I WAS SO HAPPY. The pure excitement and joy I felt seeing Ace care for Yuu made me so so so glad. Seeing him going through such lengths just made me love him so much. I still giggle like an idiot whenever I reread that scene. It will forever be my most favorite scene of him ever. Book 5. Nothing worthy talking about. Book 6? I YELLED when he got knocked out. But that’s enough talking about that.
I will never get over his voice lines. Never will I get over how he says “I thought I'd never be into your type, but maybe I was wrong? ...Or not!” God, it makes me grin and want to punch him in the face. He’s such a little shit and he knows it full well. “Have you eaten yet? If not, let's go grab something. It gets old being cooped up all the time, right?” He cares about Yuu me so much. “What kinda celebrations do they have back where you're from? Do they host unbirthday parties and stuff?” Not to mention how he’s interested in learning about Yuu too. “Is my makeup sick or what? I've got this look down pat now, so I'll do yours sometime.” DEXACE MAKEUP DATES ARE REAL. We do each other's makeup all the time to the point Riddle has accepted me as a Heartslabyul resident. “I guess big parties aren't THAT bad. Thanks for being here with me.” I too hate big parties. And I adore him dearly.
