How do you continue to craft items after an event has ended? I have all this left over material from playful land, And I would love to finish the statue, But I have no idea how to get the rest of what I need. Or would it just be better to gift what I have to somebody else?

Jafar Pt III

Iago isn’t sure what to make of the girl yet. Jafar was a man that kept his heart buried under layer after layer, letting Iago express his anger and frustration for the both of them. More than that though, it had been years and years since Jafar had expressed any forms of fear or sadness. In the privacy of his own mind, yes, but never showing it. The closest form of comfort he had served him was quiet evenings with thin fingers smoothing down his head and back, looking out into sunset after sunset trapped in a palace, then a lamp, then stone. Always trapped.  

Yuu awakens him with a rush for escape, desperate to free herself and others far past the point where she could do anything about it. Her expressions are as clear as the water around them though. Every tight lipped smile, furrowed eyebrow, clenched hand indicator of her emotions.  

He cannot tell if that openness is a hinderance yet.  

He does know, glancing down at the damn interlopers, that they are.  

“You two aint helping!” he yells, knowing they can hear him. “Clear off!”  

“Now, now,” Jetsam purrs, “You and I both know that you’ll need us for the upcoming fight.”  

“We are only here to help!” Flotsam laughs, “That’s all we’ve done. Haven’t we been good?”  

“Look at her and tell me she feels good.” He points a wing to Yuu, migraine building to the point where even the stars feel too bright.  

That seems at least to make them pause. Azul hadn’t meant to give an additional item of imbuement when he gave the bracelet, but when it’s made of Jade and Floyd’s own scales and magic, combined with the earrings, well, they hadn’t anticipated it either! And what an interesting world it was now! They did so enjoy swimming between the shadows to view her life, giving information in return for the small amount of magic they borrowed.  

The poor soul looked in pain though. They were helping siphon off some of the pool and even then, she was drowning in the tide.  

“Tell her to take the bracelet off,” Jetsam says, “but put it back on once she’s at Ramshackle.”  

“We do so wish to see Ursula again.” Flotsam adds. He wishes he were able to move more, express more, but in the reflection of Floyd, who is frozen above him, they can move very little.  

“We are talking more about this later.” Iago mutters, pulling at the damn thing. He can’t blame the kid for taking it, it’s a pretty piece, but it ain’t helping right now.  

Yuu, they were going to have to work on communication damn-it, finally removes the thing from her skin. Her migraine immediately retreats into a simple headache, far more manageable.  

“Prefect, what in the Abyss-” Azul says, staring at the scene with a sense of fear.  

“It’s ready!” Kalim chirps, running up with soaking wet clothes. “We can get out of here!” He looks at them, staring into the reflection of the river. “What is it? Not deep enough?”  

“No, it’s suitable.” The reflections are exactly as they should be. “We simply have a few things to discuss once we back home, don’t we Ms. Yuu?”  

She avoids his eyes but nods, picking up Grim.  

“I-I will try.”  

Poor unfortunate soul. She doesn’t have a choice.  

[ihavetoomanyocsdealwithit]

Jafar Part II

When Jade sees Yuu stumble into the lounge, he knows they should have activated the bracelet sooner. Her body struggles to stay on top the soft carpet that floats beside her, its bright little tassels shaking with exertion. Her eyes are wide, grasping at a red parrot that seems to be hacking air as well.  

He doesn’t have time to look much further into it before Scarabina students are flooding the doors, demanding Yuu’s body like an escaped criminal.  

Well, that simply won’t do, will it?  

His magic feels different in this fight though. Violent. Borderline feral. He glances at Floyd and Azul, and they seem to be doing the same. Azul is bothered by the lack of finesse he’s spells usually have, flowing wide and causing damage to the walls and furniture. Floyd however, seems to be revealing in it, but continually glances back at Yuu, a concern that isn’t normally present. 

Is that blood?  

They finish the fight quickly, a small spittle of blood on the ground from where her and the parrot are.  

“I’m ok,” she whispers, “I-I just bit the inside of cheek and that’s what it’s from. I’m ok.” 

Right.  

“As that is, allow us to have the school nurse check on you.” Jade reaches underneath her knees, easily pulling her up. “To ensure the health of our guests.” 

“We don’t have time. Something is wrong with Jamil.” That certainly catches Azul’s attention. “Maybe Kalim? Something is wrong with the entire Scarabina dorm.”  

She looks at Azul, eyes pleading the same way they had when he had lost himself into the Blot.  

“One of them is going to Overblot.”  

Jamil’s overblot is beautiful in it’s own strange way. Feral and elegant and poised and unhinged. A man of contradictions.  

But they don’t appreciate being thrown into a desert, especially as merpeople. Honestly, they are lucky that Kalim was thrown with them. Otherwise, well, they were looking into actual threats on their lives. And it’s better to keep one’s cards as close to the chest as possible, especially for that spell. It simply comes at too high a cost.  

Floyd and Jade carefully remove what sand they can, waiting underneath the tree as Kalim easily controls the rains into the portion of the dried oasis. Azul watches with quiet fascination, as he always does with such displays of power. He trusts them to keep an eye on Yuu, rubbing her temples. She was already in a... fatigued state, and the fight only seemed to make it more prevalent. Grim is blowing green fire onto her injuries, the scrapes and cuts sealing themselves cleanly, though it doesn’t seem to help the fatigue. 

It seems that Grim is also taking lessons from these so-called teachers.  

“I know,” Jade hears her mumble, “But I don’t know why. Everything feels fuzzy.” 

The parrot, who has been helping Kalim direct the clouds, finally lands back, nudging her hand and hopping to the water’s edge. Well that’s curious. 

She cocks her head, walking to the water’s edge and looking down. The charm Azul gave her shimmers in the reflections unusually though.   

“I don’t understand Iago.”  

The parrot, Iago apparently, gives an indignant squawk, glides over to Jade and starts pecking his shoe.  

“There is no need for that.” He smiles, rising from his spot. Floyd rises after him, before the bird makes the mistake of pecking his shoe as well. Something tells him that Yuu wouldn’t like it if he punted the thing for messing with his shoes.  

He looks a bit more disheveled than he would like, but overall, it is exactly what he expects. Though...something feels off when he looks a bit harder.  

Yuu notices it first, crouching down to look closer at...him and Floyd’s reflections.  

“Jade? Isn’t your gold eye on the right?”  

Floyd glances down. His reflection has it on the right. Jade’s is on the left. That-why are they switched- 

His reflection smiles, cocks it head to the side and ripples.  

He doesn’t know who is staring back at him.

Jafar Pt I

He just misses her.  

The cub hasn’t been home in days. No messages, no calls, no nothing. Went out to get some food and he hasn’t heard anything since.  

The point of annoyance and anger has simmered into worry and fear. This isn’t like her at all, and now this?  

He felt it. A crack on main street, and by the time his damn body can make it to shitty main street, the only thing he finds is the shattered remains of a mirror far to ornate to be left behind at the feet of the damn Vizier. 

He just missed her.  

He falls into the void, the others shifting and moving like a storm. Notably, Jafar looks drained, blood in the corner of his mouth and ears pointed past his human form. He's pushed too far.  

“Where is she?” He roars, feeling his fear boiling into something dangerous. A lion backed into a cage. 

“She’s trapped within Scarabina,” Jafar answers, “Jamil, it must be Jamil, is going to Overblot soon. She begged me for Iago, to stop it.”  

“An Overblot is years in the making, you can’t stop it once the symptoms start showing.” Taka snaps. “Tell me you didn’t. Tell me you denied her.” 

They both know he didn’t, or he wouldn’t have felt it. But to have an item of imbuement from one and a familiar from another is too much, especially from such different regions. The Ocean and the Scalding Sands? Her body would be more at war with herself than it was before.  

He shakes his head, hand reaching for a pile of feathers that isn’t there.  

“She wasn’t ready!” Mary calls. She must be doing so from her mirror at Ramshackle. 

“We don’t know the full situation.” Ursula says, voice bubbling beneath, “and we know the child isn’t stupid.” 

“No, she was desperate,” Grimhilde mutters, “She wanted to save her friends.”  

“Iago won’t be able to save Jamil.” Jafar sighs, “But he will ensure that she survives above all.”  

Taka takes a breath, slowly letting it out. There are only two places in this entire campus he can go right now, and she isn’t in either. He cannot do anything. He can’t do a fucking thing. 

“Was that your final order to him?” He rumbles.  

The sorcerer looks tired, an old man with an empty curved pauldron.  

“I told him above all else, to ensure that she lives, that she is taken care of, and that she is in better health in his care.”  

Taka takes another breath. Why wouldn’t she say if she was having visions of Jafar’s story? She had visions before the others. Did she hide them? She had to have.  

He can’t do anything until she is home. And once she is, she is not leaving. He’ll bar the doors and push the food under the door if that’s what's required, he can play the villain if he needs to. But she isn’t leaving until everything is explained and she is well rested damn it.  

“Tell me what you know.”  

[ihavetoomanyocsdealwithit]

Ursula Pt II

Yuu’s dreams become strange, her legs and eyes twitching in her sleep, hands clenching around nothing, sometimes waking up more exhausted than when she slept. Professor Taka frets, seeing her fatigue grow, and the slow the lessons even further, focusing on fine tuning the basics. She can wordlessly conjure most elements at this point, and her precision with spells is borderline miliary at this point though. They are delaying, and she knows it.  

She can’t tell him that it’s outside of her dreams too. Times in school where the shadows don’t seem to be right, or delay half second before they disappear into the light. Her shadow to be exact. A constant feeling of being watched, not maliciously, but intrigued. Picked apart like a puzzle, not of the picture but why the pieces work together.  

It didn’t start until the seashell earrings though, so her and Ursula talk and she sleep a night in her room. The teeth that scraped the back of her neck entering into that leviathan mouth return, a soft bite at her heels. When she yelps, they retract though, smooth scales moving over the mark like an apology. Vaguely, she can hear whispers, soft cooing and nothings, hands soothing over tired eyes and hands.  

Ursula monitors her, and confirms that she is falling into a state between meditation and true sleep, though who is visiting she can’t say. The magic is close to familiar but just different enough. It's not malicious though, no hurting her, but it definitely wants her attention.  

Professor Taka’s jaw is tight, but there is nothing he can do. The being in her bedroom mirror hasn’t visited though, and said nothing, so it can’t be too dangerous?  

Still, she finds an indent on her bed more often than not most mornings, the feeling of claws in her hair as he chases them away the only way he really can.  

Despite being a man that spent a lot of time in shadows, he doesn’t want her there.  

“Hey, Yuu,” Grim rubs against her side, “Do I need to grab the notes from somebody for Alchemy? I did the lab perfectly, as expected from the greatest mage, but you might need them for the mid-term or something.”  

Yuu chuckles, giving a soft pat between his ears. If she tries to full on pet them, he’ll purr and be all embarrassed. It’s a beastman and direbeast thing apparently, as Jack got far too flustered when she asked to see how he’s ears connected into his head.  

“Deuce made me a copy, and he’s have gotten much better since Riddle sat down and helped.” She turns the corner, catching a whiff of seasalt and cold, “I’m glad he’s getting the help he needs now.”  

As expected, Deuce has an extra copy he printed from the library, chest puffed and proud.  

“Surprise!” he says, “I made you a copy of and Ace’s notes, just in case!”  

“Don’t include me!” Ace chirps, cheeks slightly flushed.  

“Thank you, Deuce!” Yuu says, glancing over them. “But what do you mean surprise? Didn’t you tell me that you had earlier today?” 

Deuce tilts his head, eyes furrowed. “No, I didn’t. I just got the idea during class and rushed down to the library right after.”  

Yuu stops carding through the pages. She knew that Deuce was going to have copies of the notes. She knew it.  

“Ace, did you tell her!” Deuce turns, pointing a finger at him. Ace denies it, the two doing some light bickering, but Deuce pulls back just a little to see her pinched eyes.  

“Maybe I just assumed, since you two always pull through for me.” She doesn’t believe it. She’s saying it but she doesn’t believe it for two seconds. But Deuce smiles that boyish smile that’s far more genuine than anything, and it diverts it long enough for the conversation to move forward.  

When she visits Ursula that evening, she’s perplexed.  

“Are you scrying through your school mirrors?” she wonders out loud, rifling through ‘books’. Held together by coral and hardened seaweed to press the letters to the pages, but the principal was the same.  

“I didn’t think I had? I can’t remember...it didn’t feel like it.” Yuu pauses, twisting the cup in her hand.  

“Something to say my dear?” Ursula looks, raising a well sculpted eyebrow.  

“I...don’t know. Let me think about it?” 

The dreams had started again. Visions? These of the Sorcerer of the Sands, or at least bits and pieces of him in the story itself. Some homeless man named Aladdin seemed to be the center, but that was a theme of all their stories. Yuu always seemed to get them from the prospective that made them look the worst.  

She wants to talk to the Vizier herself. But Professor Taka would never allow it. He becomes more and more protective with each release, and Ursula isn’t even fully out yet, just a visit in the room.  

When Yuu returns from school, he stays close, pushing for sleep and rest but gives no explanations for why she is so tired. He feels more tight lipped than ever, just telling her to let the adults be adults for once. Mary doesn’t say either, pressing different teas into her hands and filling the quiet with old memories of her husband and son, times in court and her friends. It’s nice, but it doesn’t help.  

Next week, she decides, once winter break starts. If she can’t figure it out by then, she’ll find a way to sneak out and talk to the Sorcerer.

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

[ihavetoomanyocsdealwithit]

hey! I just discovered your stone heart AU

do you post it on AO3 as well by any chance?

I find it easier to keep track of fanfic/written stories over multiple chapters over there

:)

That was ironically on the agenda today! I have the link set up on the pinned post now. Y'all enjoy!

[ihavetoomanyocsdealwithit]

Ursula Pt 1

Queen Mary had accompanied here for Ursula’s imbuement. Taka was enjoying being able to share the workload with others, though he had concerns for how quickly she was taking to all of the magic, and he didn’t always explain the plans and why they had to do things in a certain order.  

Yuu trusted him, of course! She just wished that he would be more open about things.  

At the base of the statue the mirror shards melted down, sharp pains in her legs almost ignorable if she focused on the spiral shell earrings taking form.  

“Well, at least it matches my bracelet?” she asks. She’s wearing it as an anklet, but it’s the thought that matters.  

“She wanted to give her necklace, but we’ve no idea where it is.” Queen Mary said, checking over her as if she had injuries. “Some things got added onto the statues, simply too iconic to who we were for it to be missing, but she has no idea where her original nautilus shell is.”  

The walk back feels like slow breathing, struggling through water, until she breaches the air of Ramshackle. It’s the easiest place for her to breath, and she thanks Mary for her time. She is more patient in her lessons, but she knows she doesn’t push as much as Professor Taka unless it’s physical combat. She’s hesitant for the magical lessons and won’t open up either.  

“You are sure? Nothing wrong with waiting.” Mary says, stopping by her room. Yuu had requested that at least first meetings be private.  

“Yea, I’m not to worn down. I’ll just do a quick dive and then go to sleep, I promise!” She pushes up a smile, waiting until she goes down the hallway to let it drop a bit. She is excited! There is just so much happening at school, and with the coming winter, it gets harder to keep the heat inside Ramshackle. The amount of times Yuu has woken up shivering is a growing concern, but Taka can only click his tongue, doing what little he knows to do and just waiting to be solid enough to quick Crowley’s ass into gear.  

Ursula’s room is located further down, a window less room with soft lights from leftover holiday strands and a vanity from Octavinelle that is certainly considered out of style for it now. Large and gaudy, with cubbies and shelves everywhere where Yuu has placed small plants instead. On the walls themselves are skeletons and skulls of animals that Sam was having a sale on. Apparently, they are gifts from his friends, but he has so many now that he can’t keep them all? A strange gift, but it benefits Yuu at least.  

The cabinets are lined with storage for seeds and other things, as well as a large cauldron, courtesy of Deuce, that she attempted to use scrying from with limited success. The egg chair isn’t the same as Ursula’s hanging conch, but it’s cozy, covered in pillows and silks in silvers, lavenders and dark blues and blacks.  

Yuu takes a breath, sits in the vanity, and waits.  

The scrape of teeth across her neck almost breaks the connection, but she feels herself tugged forward on a current. She thinks it’s a current anyway 

“Come along dear, it’s rude to linger in doorways.” 

The voice itself is unexpectedly deep, but...nice. It reminds her of an aunt back home, bit of a diva but well meaning.  

Yuu slides inside, touching the small urchins, flowing seaweed, and other bits that she can’t even begin to name.  

“Not as lively as my last garden, but certainly more useful.” 

She looks almost exactly like her statue, but...more wild. Her eyes in particular, painted in deep blue and lavender, are clearly inhuman, the pupil slitted horizontally. Her mouth hides a row of sharp teeth, with the front two being the sharpest. Some type of evolutionary change? The rest of her is about the same though, large body more solid looking here, scales glittering down her chest and core, claws painted a cheery red, and a spiked crown around her short flowing hair.  

“It was temporary but it still counts in my eyes.” she says, “Now, come here, let me get a good look at you.”  

A tentacle reaches for her, and Yuu finally looks down.  

“What-”  

“Not to worry, not to worry!” Ursula says, spinning her around so that her own deep green and gold tentacles flutter like a dress. “You look splendid! Just need to practice is all. You’ll get the hang of it in no time.”  

She pulls her into the chair in front of the vanity, which is technically where she’s already sitting but not here?  

“My mind feels fuzzy.” Yuu mutters.  

“Do you not like this form? You are a cephalomer dear, you could change it if you wished.”  

Ursula's face morphs into something more masculine, a dark tentacle mustache growing in twirls and spins, her frame taking the extra weight of her chest and distributing it down to make her tentacles even thicker.  

“We can do that? I can do that?”  

She laughs, “My dear sweet child, this is what I do. To help poor souls like us become everything we were meant to be.”  

She taps Yuu’s chin, taking a closer look at the eyebags and overall fatigue. It will be a while before the child is anywhere close to being able to grant wishes, but she has potential.  

But right now, the child needs rest. Something deeper than the abyss, gentle as the waves. 

“We can approach all that later though. For now, let’s get you used to your body. Just some gentle swimming, and then I’ll get a better idea on your scrying.” She chuckles as she feels Yuu’s appendage wrap around hers, like a little child thrown about my waves. “My handsome darlings were my primary source, but I did just fine with my cauldron.”  

“I tried the cauldron, even with Professor Taka’s help, I couldn’t get it to work.” Yuu says, rising from the chair unsteadily.  

“Oh, darling, you didn’t have me.” she smiles, sharp toothed and confident.  

She could take this little soul and make it into a hurricane, she knows it. Just a little time and patience.  

[ihavetoomanyocsdealwithit]

Azul pt 1

The fact that he waited until the next day to find her was a bit surprising, but that didn’t make it any less scary when Floyd Leech catches Yuu outside class.  

“Shrimpy.” his tone is flat. The hand around the collar of her uniform isn’t tight, but it’s clear she isn’t going anywhere. “With me. Now.”  

“Ah shit, he’s actually pissed.” Ace mutters, stiff beside her.  

“Floyd, how you doing?” Yuu smiles. Nope, definitely not in the mood.  

“Wait,” Deuce puts a hand on her wrist. “We still have class. She'll get in trouble if she skips.”  

“It’s not skipping, Azul can write a note as house warden.” He picks her up again, no more than a ragdoll. “If you pull the same trick you did yesterday, it’s not going to be pretty. Nobody has escaped my squeeze before, and we aint starting with you.” He bares his teeth, tapping her nose with his free hand.  

Yuu can’t recognize if he’s genuinely angry or just annoyed with her escape. She isn’t willing to test it, and she knows she is too tired to do so again. Mary had already warned her off of doing so outside of Ramshackle for now, until she got used to Underground magic.  

“Um, I’ll see you guys later?” she waves, hoping that this will be quick at least.  

He doesn’t put her down once, even when she politely asks. He isn’t quiet though. He seems more annoyed that he had to pull in Idia to provide camera footage that she actually disappeared and didn’t just decide not to get her. The twins don’t seem to enjoy arguing with Azul, though the lines look fuzzy from the outside.  

The bubble always feels odd going down, and then the coolness of Octavinelle settles in. It isn’t always a pleasant feeling when you are warmblooded, but maybe that’s why she rarely sees any Octavinelle student without a jacket on?  

Azul’s office is the same as ever, clean down to the last dust speck on the nearly excessive bookshelves surrounding the whole room. The soft glow of the aquariums below offer a nice touch that she’s always enjoyed though, and finds it difficult to not relax when looking at them. 

 He sits at his desk with the strange fishbone pen scribbling over a softly glowing contract. The laptop, some type of the line model probably, almost stands out like a sore thumb amongst the antique designs.  

It better not be for me, she thinks.  

“Thank you Floyd,” Yuu mumbles as her feet finally touch the ground.  

“Ah, Shrimpy gonna be all grumpy now?” He teases, pulling at her cheek.  

“Floyd, please.” Azul says, almost smiling at her swatting hands doing absolutely nothing. “We have business to discuss.”  

“Yea, I never got a text yesterday, so it must not have been that important.” Yuu crosses her arms.  

“Oh, that’ll come later. I am far more interested in what this was. A unique magic perhaps?”  

He turns his laptop monitor to show the footage of her turning into glitter, her wide eyes the last thing to literally blink out of existence.  

“Even if I had a good idea what happened, I wouldn’t tell you. It was a fluke, I haven’t been able to do it since.” Half of it was true at least. She wasn’t able to recreate the distance, though it may be the desire just wasn’t strong enough.  

“Ah, no need to be coy.” Azul smiles, the polite one that makes her eye twitch. “If your magic base is expanding that’s something to celebrate! How about a drink and dessert, on the house of course.”  

“What do you want?” she asks bluntly. “Nothing comes for free with you.”  

“Prefect!” he places a hand on his chest, “Do you think me so low as to not celebrate my friend's accomplishments?”  

“Are we friends?” Yuu snaps, “I didn’t know that friends made each other homeless.”  

His mouth snaps shut with a click. A huff of air behind ear reminds her that Floyd is still behind her, not at his usual spot beside Azul’s desk. Making sure to guard the exit?  

“I-” Azul takes a deep breath, twirling the neck of the fishbone pen before carefully setting it inside the holder, putting a lid on the ink bottle. “I’ll admit, not my best moment.”  

He sighs, walking around to the front of the desk and leaning against the ledge.  

“Ms. Yuu, you clearly have an expanding magical core, which is wonderful. I congratulate you on effort and achievements. But it’s clearly powerful magic.” He adjusts his gloves, avoiding her eyes. “I, of all people, understand powerful magic without a medium to balance it out. We both know what it looks like when there are...no guidelines.” 

Azul was capable of his spell without the contracts. The contracts are what allowed him to keep his sanity and mind. His step father had been the one to teach him and help, the best gift he had ever received from him truly. But there was something addictive in the power, and to see Yuu overblot, even by accident? 

“I...I do apologize for my transgressions in the past.” Even Floyd raises his eyebrows at him. “I’ll admit that I did not think of the repercussions of my actions as I was self-assured in my own victory. And, at the time, it was the only thing that mattered.”  

There are some deals that you prevent from happening, for the sake of his own skin of course.  

“I have teachers that are helping me.” Yuu relents, “Though I understand your concerns better now. If, and it’s a big if, I need help, I will...actually consider your offer?” 

He laughs, something a little softer than his usual one. “Well, as a show of good faith.” He pulls out a small metal piece from his pocket, “Take this. A representation of our benevolence, guided by the Seawitch and her two beloved eels.” 

It’s a simple band, two dark eels wrapped around a small nautilus shell. It was in the style she preferred, something elegant but minimal. It didn’t look like a cheap tourist thing either, she could feel that the shell was smooth, thin but strong. It wouldn't shatter easily at least.  

“Are these actual eel scales?” she asks, feeling the bumpy texture.  

“Why yes!” he smiles, “I thought something handmade would be of preference. You do seem to prefer things of a more sentimental variety.”  

She huffs, raising her pant leg to wear it as an anklet instead.  

“Alright Azul, I’ll choose to forgive, but I won’t forget. Afterall, forgetting how powerful you are would just be stupid for me.”  

A surprised huff leaves him, but he allows her to leave at last. Jade meets her at the door before she can even turn the knob, Floyd staying behind.  

“Huh,” he mutters, “Went better than expected.” Floyd stretches his body out, small pops along his spine that wouldn’t be there in a human body. “You get what you needed out of it?”  

“Enough, though not all.” Azul nods. “We do need her to trust us, and if that means giving away a token to show good faith, it’ll be worth the small energy exchange.”  

“Also allows us to keep an eye on her.” Floyd adds, rubbing the small spot along his upper arm. They were eel scales. Specifically, theirs. Azul wouldn’t be able to see through her eyes the way he could with his or Jade’s, but with a sprinkle of their scales and a small sample of all three of their magics in the shell itself, they’d always be able to have a vague idea of where she was at least. With the way she was progressing in and out of class, she was becoming a threat.  

And the best way to neutralize a threat was to make them a friend.  

“It’s for her own good.” Azul goes to sit back down. He thinks it is for her good at least, and it’s not totally invasive. “Besides, I would like to know more about these teachers of hers. Perhaps they are looking for more students.”  

Floyd shakes his head, making sure that Azul has a drink before heading out himself. He can’t afford to fail this next test if he wants to stay in the advanced classes. At least the advanced classes aren’t as boring as the main ones, but damn if they don’t test his patience some days.

Drabble (wip): Safe haven

"Prefect, I don't understand why won't you just hand over my dorm members".Yuu blinked their sleepy eyes. It was early morning, too early in fact. Riddle stood in front of Yuu's front porch, demanding that they return the duo."Why are you so insistent to keep them in your dorm?"

Yuu massaged their temple, trying to sober themselves up from sleep.

The Adeuce duo committed another blunder and had ended themselves up collared.

Indignant and ever so stuborn, the two has sought asylum in Yuu's dorm.

It seems like in NRCs rulebook, although changing dorms takes a process, staying in another is possible as long as the dorm head permits. Yuu was the dormhead of Ramshackle, and therefore had the right to house the two."Look Riddle, as much as I would like to return to you my friends. I can't let them keep barging into my dorm at night everytime they get upset with you."

Riddle's face was turning red. "Upset with me?"

Yuu sighed. It would have been better if Trey came and not Riddle, as the former was atleast calmer.

"You know the rules Riddle. They stay with me until I kick them out. Sorry."Yuu bowed their head for a moment, in faux apology, then they shut the door on Riddle's face while yawning.

Yuu wasn't really too amicable when they're sleep deprived.

.

"Potato..."

"Vil-senpai."Yuu acknowledged,once again he was opening his dorm door for another dorm leader." No, I will not kick Epel out the dorm."

Vil clicked his tongue.

Clearly, he could barge in the dorm and just drag Epel out if he wanted to however, the Ghosts inside the dorm had made it clear from his last visit that they do not care if he was a star, and had no qualms carrying him away and dropping him off disheveled near the dorm trashbins.

That was a horrible day for everyone involved . Vil's scream was earsplitting. Yuu had feared for their life ever since,yet the dorm leader had not done any curse upon them...yet.

"Just give him up, what benefit is being stuborn do for you?"The Pomefiore dorm leader scolded."You can't possibly just permit him to stay in your dorm indefinitely? Your water will do no good for his skin!"

Yuu's eyebrow twitched.

Its not their fault they sometimes lose hot water and don't have one of those fancy bath tub complete with skincare stuff.

"Vil-senpai, if you were far less strict maybe he would willingly return."

Vil scowled.

Yuu rolled their eyes."Then its a no for both of us." They shut the door again.

Wip. Was bored. Main idea is that when the first years get upset with their dorm leaders, they go to Ramshackle dorm for refuge.

Shenanigans occur.

Oh btw Yzma is a golden example of a likeable non sympathetic villain. The audience knows she is totally evil and pretty much un redeemable but the writers and character designers did such an excellent job of making her so likeable and visually appealing A fucking plus

So I’ve been rewatching a Kingdom Hearts play through, and I swore my heart sunk once I saw the exterior of Castle Oblivion again

The sharp roofs, the window designs, the entrance door, both being perched on a cliff, and areas the building sticking out…doesn’t Night Raven College seem to loosely resemble it?!

And what struck me is the lore behind Castle Oblivion. I will try to explain this in the most lore-simple way possible, sorry if it’s confusing 💦

Castle Oblivion became a base for an antagonistic organization, one of the KH games revolving entirely about their plans/research of meddling with memories, and creating replicas. But before that, it was the Land of Departure- a grand castle (like Raverne and Meleanor departing from Lilia lmao)

The ruins of the Land of Departure was turned into Castle Oblivion with the goal of keeping someone, who is comatose and never-aging in their sleep, safe and concealed inside until their heart could be healed in order to wake up again. The throne room of the Land of Departure became the Chamber of Waking (like TWST’s Mirror Chamber…?), where that character is kept inside.

Castle Oblivion also has these “memory pods” where memory can be manipulated and restored (when someone is inside, they are fall asleep for as long as they are in it). When it’s closed, it can be described as an egg-like shape or a flower bud. But when it opens, it resembles a lotus flower- a flower associated with rebirth. (The green floor design lowkey resembles the green fountain)

Eggs…flower of evil…themes of rebirth…it’s striking to me that the Land of Departure becomes Castle Oblivion, because Night Raven College has IDENTICAL locations to Briar Land: Meleanor’s hall in Wild Rose Castle (Diasomnia), and to the Silver Owl citadel (NRC’s Coliseum).

?!?!? You know a lot of people have mentioned that Crowley’s cane resembles a keyblade. And Yana Toboso is a fan of Epic Mickey, and did extensive research into many Disney properties in order to create Twisted Wonderland. Kingdom Hearts must have been one of them, right?! ∑(ﾟДﾟ) I don’t know…just seeing this building design, and knowing the lore behind Castle Oblivion…it feels a little ominous

Over the course of the KH series, keyblades have been associated with the masters of ancient times. And each world has a keyhole that the keyblade can seal or lock (keyblades can do the same to the barriers between worlds too). Rook refers the Mirrior Chamber, where the Dark Mirror is kept, as the “heart” of NRC…which in KH terms could be translated to the heart of the world. I see 👀 I feel like that could tie back to the Realm Dominance theory- an ancient magic in TWST some Fae have that can manipulate the reality of the world…which may or may not be a relevant ability for Crowley (translation credits to Otome Ayui)

On this day, I Dradelcra, have waited since (probably) August 2020 for the Idia Shroud dorm card and have successfully gotten it on Christmas Eve.

Now, I can rest.

Look at the bodies made of code! In a sea of CODE! I am baffled at how much I love this.

Also, spoilers:

HE LOOKS SO FUCKING COOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLL!!

YANA TOBOSO YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!

I got more serious in my japanese language studies for this game, for him!

of course i'm still bad at it but, i'm not as bad as I was before I got that game and to me that is an improvement.
