Erasyl… what’s going on haha

Ok, plot time beloveds!!!! A lot has happened in my head but I haven’t spoken much about it. Do u know why? Cos I don’t wanna type allat 😭

But I have to! So let me tldr this real quick alright? Asta and Erasyl met, Erasyl felt slightly threatened by Asta seen through his fake bitch act, Asta was curious on WHY Erasyl, the guy who has everything, still found the need to fake a smile so thoroughly. So they made an effort to kind of, cross paths more. One day, Asta was asked by their manager if they wanted to fill in a sudden spot for advertising at a company they had been avoiding, and lo and behold, they were shooting the ad with Era! Everyone was surprised that Asta could somewhat act, but the commercial’s director saw that there was potential and asked Asta if they wanted to get into acting bc he knows a director who was looking for a very particular person to cast for an upcoming series and he wasn’t having any luck. Era—seeing his chance— swooped in and said he’d help Asta learn about acting and help them out basically.

So then that’s what they were doing. Started spending a lot of time together, developing Asta’s acting and what not. At some point in there Asta crossed paths with Irving and got beat up. The period of Asta and Era studying acting together is a time of the both of them getting to know each other better and seeing just a little behind each other’s facade.

Anyway, at some point, Era thought that Asta should try and practice their acting fr, and told them to apply to be in the school’s annual play. They did, going for the role of the villain. But they lost that role to *drum roll* Irving! The director tho… he felt like he still wanted Asta in the play so he gave them a role that even Asta was like “how tf am I supposed to act this out?!!” The role of the female lead’s good friend and society’s flower. The following weeks were the HARDEST Asta had ever endured. The role was one that was literally the OPPOSITE of what they are!! A well-behaved, friendly, kind and soft spoken society lady!!! How do u do that!! It was very hard but era helped them thru it. The worst part tho was that they were supposed to be interacting with Irving a lot, as the character and the villain were crossing paths a lot.

So!! Irving has a girlfriend. She’s very insecure bc Irving… Irving is a dick. He doesn’t actually care for her. Their relationship is just a bit of a business partnership between their families. When she found out that Irving was in the play and Asta was in it too, she went to watch a rehearsal and absolutely did not like the fact that they were acting together. The plot had the villain wanting to marry the FL’s best friend, and the FL and the ML would fight the villain and win cos he was trifling. So her seeing Irving “pursue” (he’s acting girl he’s LYING!!) Asta got her FURIOUS.

So she started rumors in school about Asta. Specifically what their mother does for work. Bullying ensues. Asta believes that the only way to deal with everyone wanting to bully you is to strike back if they strike you but to largely ignore the attempts at eliciting a reaction from you. This… is exhausting tho. They rly went thru it. Irving didn’t give a shit about all this until! He learned that Asta appeared to be friends with Erasyl. At that point he told his gf to cut the shit out and leave them alone. She didn’t. She kept it up and it was getting serious. So he broke up with her cos she’s causing entirely to many problems. None of which she’s equipped to handle 💀 he broke up with her and now spread rumors and fake screenshots of her orchestrating all this so that Asta is absolved of all that.

However, Irving’s ex was not giving //up//!! So she reached out to Erasyl to talk (she had completely misunderstood the relationship he has with Asta lmao. She thought they were dating. Which should say a lot about how it is they appear to the public huh) and proposed they team up to spite Irving and Asta cos to her Irving chose Asta over her. Ofc Erasyl was like “idk about all that pls don’t talk to me about that”. The problem came about, however, when she mentioned him pretending to be a normal person when his father is who he is.

To which Erasyl nearly broke her neck 💀 if Irving hadn’t appeared out of nowhere and told Era that he’ll handle her, he really may have broken her neck. And this is what this illustration is all about 🤣🤣🤣 see all I had to type to get y’all to see what it means??? My goodness!!
