The last dorm diasomnia. The theme for them was mythological creatures with the extra rule that only Malleus is allowed to be an actual dragon(this was added because otherwise I would have had 3 dragons)

Small notes about the designs:

-Lilia is griffin, but I did take the creative liberty of giving him bat wings(I know a wyvern will be perfect, but they are still technically dragons). His feline part is based on a margay. Also yes he is upside down because he always seem to spawn on the celling so it felt fitting.

-Silver is an unicorn, it was perfect for him(and is partially the reason for the theme).

-Malleus is already a dragon although like always I used my own design for him.

-Sebek is longma(a chinese winged dragon horse. I needed something that was part reptile due to his crocodile inspiration and this just fit). I gave him a crocodile tail instead of a dragon one.

My thoughts on them:

-Maleus my 3rd favourite character. Honestly never thought I will actually like him as a character when I first saw him in the game(mostly due to his design and description), but the moment I realized he was the exact opposite of that and he has the personality of a giant lizard obsessed with gargoyles he become one of my favourites.

-I have a soft spot for good dads in fiction(or at least ones that try their best to be) and Lilia is exactly that.

-Silver seems so sweet and I always wanted him to get a little bit more screen time since I want to learn more about him as a character(at least we have book 7 now).

-I actually didn't care about Sebek until book 7, which made me actually like him as a character(honestly the best character out of the first years).

Headcanons:

-Malleus, Silver and Sebek are autistic.

-The reason Malleus never keeps his tail when in public is because he uses it as a way of stimming (by wagging it around constantly) and doesn't want to accidentally hurt someone with it.

-Malleus(any) is agender(I don't think he has a gender), panromantic and demisexual

-Lilia(any) is queer. He doesn't care about labels that much so just queer works(also he 100% dated both of Malleus parents and Sebek's grandpa in the past)

-Silver is panromantic and ace

-Sebek is gay, but in complete denial about it

Small update since I haven't posted something in a long while

It's been awhile since the last one, I wanted to at least post a wip(it's just the final sketch) for the diasomnia drawing since it will still take me another day or 2 max to finish it.(I was very busy irl the last 2 months and I had no time to finish it despite having all the paper sketches for this since June)

Also after this is done I will probably start talking about the twst au I have been working on for the past 3 months. I even learned how to draw humans just for that au(I am not that good at it, but it's good enough at this point to not be embarrassed about posting it online)

[rainshell]

I couldn't choose only one of these so I put all 3(I only own the Leona one)

Finally I got to Ignihyde in my small project of drawing everyone as animals. The theme for them was reptiles

Small notes about the designs:

-since both Ortho and Idia are siblings they both get to be Komodo dragons

-to keep their hair on fire thing I decided to add some scales on them that are made out of fire

My thoughts on them:

-Idia is my second favorite character in this game. I relate to him a lot(not as much as a certain cat, but still). His book is my second favorite so far as well. I can probably write an essay on why he is so amazing but I am gonna stop here for now.

-Ortho is just fun character I love how chaotic they can be at times(kid literally threatened their own parents) and how much they care about their sibling

Headcanons:

-Idia(he/they/it) is biromantic ace and genderfaun(a form of genderfluidity that never encompasses feminine genders)

-Idia is also autistic

-Ortho(they/them) is nonbinary

For OG

-you probably heard about 3 URs(highly upgraded SSR's with a lot of skills up can also work for this until you get the URs)of each sin, that also applies to memory cards which are incredibly important. Also keep in mind a demon card is always better than a memory card(this is not actually a requirement I finished the OG with barely any memory cards. It's doable if you have a lot of glow sticks, but I don't recommend it)

-if a battle says you can't even get a star, but it's incredibly close you can still pass them(you can usually get a slightly higher score than the game tells you)

-glow sticks are your best friend and if you don't want to spend devil points on them just buy them with raven

-if you are about to lose a battle, because of paralysis or another annoying skills, just close the app completely and reopen it. It will give you the option to replay it from the beginning without spending more energy and give you a different outcome.

For Nightbringer

-SSR are just bad in this game, but at least URs are easier to get(same thing in the OG with 3 of each sin also applies here) I suggest trying to grind for the ones in hard mode since you can also easily get skill ups for them(and you can access them in the first few lessons of hard mode so you don't need to get that far into it. Unless you want the URs released with season 2 is not even worth it to begin with)

-if you didn't know already, you can spam in the rhythm game, instead of trying to hit every note when they come up. This makes the game significantly easier and there is no major penalty to it

-resetting also works here, if you make too many mistakes and don't want to waste energy

-if you don't make more than 9 mistakes, you can usually pass a lesson even if the score bar tells you can't(the less you make, the higher the score and at a combo finish, you usually get around a grade higher than the bar tells you initially, so if the game tells you that you are getting a B it will actually be an A)

-farm flower staffs and don't be afraid to use them if you can't pass a lesson (I got most of mine from events and they are not hard to get)

Can I get some battle strategies from OM players? From the folks that have cleared through OM's storyline, what did you do to do it?

Continuing my series of drawing all the charcaters as animals we have the Pomefiore students(the theme this time was endangered species) and I decided to also add Neige to this as a separate drawing

Small notes about the designs:

-Rook is a bengal tiger (it was fitting for both his previous and current dorm and for him as a character so how could I not), his coloration is also inspired by golden tigers

-Epel is a red panda, I wanted something that is small looks adorable and in the same time tries to be intimidating(but fails) and red pandas were perfect for this

-I had to make Vil a deer more specifically he is a visayan spotted deer(yes I did spend 3 hours searching for the perfect deer species for Vil and landed on this one)

-Neige he doesn't have to fallow any themes, but I still made him a deer as well, just because I thought it will be more funny if him and Vil were the same type of animal. He is a tufted deer(the reason being they are small and look adorable)

My thoughts on them:

-I adore Vil, I can't really explain it he is just an amazing character

-Rook is just funny to me he is just a silly little guy that managed to traumatized the entirety of savanaclaw. I honestly like how weird he is

-Epel is probably the most fun character out of the first years and I did love his character arc

-Neige has so little screen time in game that I don't actually have an opinion on him

Headcanons:

-I don't care what anybody says Epel has 3 adopted dads(Vil, Rook and Leona)

-Vil (he/she) is gay man

-Rook is pan

-Epel is a trans gay man(just because something about the way he acts reminds me of how I acted when I first realized I was trans)

-Neige is gay

So I remembered my classmates back in middle school had this conversation with a teacher and I had to turn it into a meme

[rainshell]

I am halfway done with drawing the twisted wonderland characters as animals in dorm order so here is Scarabia the theme this time was desert animals

Small notes about the designs:

-Kalim is a black-winged kite, it was hard to find something that fits him best(I gone through multiple ideas, until I found this bird that reminded me of him so I had to)

-Jamil is a fennec fox(I could have used a snake yes, but I wanted to do something more interesting + I had the idea of the fennec fox since I first played book 4 and it also fits)

My thoughts on them:

-I don't have much to say about Kalim he is just a ray of sunshine

-I adore Jamil one of the best characters in this game and honestly he does deserve a break

-another thing I like to add is that I love how well crafted the relationship between Kalim and Jamil(platonically speaking) is in the sense that I can't really blame any one of them for what happened in book 4

Haedcanons:

-Kalim is aroace

-Jamil is bisexual

Continuing my series of drawing all the characters as animals in dorm order I finally finished the Octavinelle trio. The theme for them was just aquatic/semi-aquatic animals(that doesn't include their land forms only their merman ones)

Small notes about the designs:

-Merman form needs no explanation he is an octopus. For his human form(or in this case his land form) I decided to make him a rabbit(honestly I don't have that solid of a reason for it I just thought it will fit him)

-I decided to make Floyd and Jade snakes for their land forms(It fits Floyd perfectly and I couldn't pass on that opportunity) as for their merman forms I just gone with dolphins(since they can be menaces and I thought that was fitting for both of them)

-also I gave Floyd visible fangs to make them stand out from their twin more

My thoughts on them:

-Azul is my least favorite character in game, so I don't have much to say about him

-Jade has always been interesting to me, but his signature spell has to be the weakest one out there, like at least it shouldn't have been limited to one time use for each person( I understand that from a story perspective lifting that limitation will just mean that Azul will abuse it, but in an universe where a lot of signature spells are overpowered he at least deserves something that isn't borderline useless in most cases)

-Chaotic characters are always some of my favorites and although they are not close to the top I still love Floyd as a character for this reason alone.

Haedcanons:

-Azul is a trans gay man

-Jade is aroace(I just think he is more interested in mushrooms and exploring the world than relationships)

-Floyd is nonbinary(they/them) and queer(I don't think they like labeling their attraction so queer works)

[rainshell]

This is just a small headcanon me and my partner came up with and I had to draw it

Malleus as a small kid tried to pretend to be a gargoyle once and painted himself in grey and then decided to stand on the castle wall trying to imitate them. He probably managed to scare Lilia to death doing this since the best place for him to be a gargoyle was near the top of the castle

I also have another small headcanon that as he grows older some of his scales get lighter and those blue spots are the beginning of that

[rainshell]

Finally got around to draw the savanaclaw guys although they don't need a theme to their animal designs since they are beastmen, the dorm still needs one(due to Rook also being part of savanaclaw initially, so it's relevant when I get to drawing the Pomefiore students): So I just gone with carnivores as a theme

Also added a bonus drawing of Cheka

Small notes about the designs:

-Jack canon wolf design just looks weird to me so I decided to make the proportions more wolf like and also add more fluff(I can't believe he wasn't fluffier in his wolf form when is mentioned multiple times in game that his tail is incredibly fluffy), also added some lighter marks on his belly and paws to make the design look more interesting

-I tried to make Ruggie as skinny as possible since it's mentioned that he can't afford food sometimes(honestly Leona should pay him more)

-for Cheka I tried to make him resemble Simba, but I also gave him some more markings to still look distinct enough

My thoughts on them:

-Leona might be my favorite character in this game, but book 2 truly did him dirty to the point that I disliked him as a character until I got to book 3 that finally gave him the character development he deserved(it's sad that Leona gets more character development in both book 3 and 6 than he does in book 2)

-Ruggie deserves better, he nearly got killed and he has to deal with Leona

-I don't really care about the first year students, but Jack does have his moments

Haedcanons:

-Leona is pansexual, demiromantic(he just doesn't feel any attraction until he gets close to someone) and transmasc(technically nonbinary and transmasc, but I think he will let it at just transmasc since it gets the point across)

-Ruggie is pansexual

-Jack is gay

Also if you haven't seen it yet here is the link to the drawing I did for the heartslabyul students

[rainshell]

I decided to draw all the twisted wonderland characters by dorm order since I wanted an excuse to both draw them and talk about them. Also as a bonus I decided that every dorm should have a theme to the animals I am allowed to use for them to make it more interesting.

So here we have the heartslabyul boys as pets(domesticated ones)

What animals I chose for each of them:

-Riddle is a dog more specifically a corgi german shepherd mix(the reason being I wanted something as small as a corgi with the personality of a guard dog).

-Cater and Trey are cats, because it just fit

-Ace is a ferret(idk he just made me think of a ferret so now he is one) and Deuce is a goat(something about his signature spell made me think of a goat)

My thoughts on them:

-I am gonna be honest, but Riddle to me is the least interesting dorm leader(not my least favourite though). I will give him that seeing him say off with your head will never stop being funny.

-I never really cared about Ace and Deuce as characters, yes they can be funny at times and Deuce did have that cute moment with Epel in book 5, but compared to most of the cast, they don't have that much going on

-Cater is just that character that I like for no particular reason

-Trey is probably the only character from this dorm I genuinely care about, he is so interesting, unfortunately he doesn't get that much screen time

And some headcanons, because why not(also I headcanon most of these characters as lgbt+ so this will include those as well):

-I like to imagine that Riddle, Trey and Cater just act like the dorm's dads(Cater is the fun one that also gives good relationship advice, Trey is the one that makes sure everyone is taken care of + gives good general life advice and Riddle is the strict one that makes sure they all fallow the rules and they don't fail their classes)

-There is an unspoken rule in the dorm that if you mess up or break any rules accidentally, to tell Trey immediately so he can deal with it before Riddle finds out(Trey might still punish them in some way, but it's nothing in comparison to Riddle)

-Even Riddle is aware of this, but doesn't say anything about it, after all the less rule breakers and idiots he has to deal with the better

-unfortunately Ace never learned this one so now the phrase off with your head gives him nightmares

-Riddle is gay(he was closeted until he ended up at night raven because of his parents), he is also both demiromantic and demisexual(he just doesn't feel attracted to people until he gets close to them)

-Trey is bisexual with a preference for men

-Cater is pansexual and uses he/they pronouns(he is cis, but doesn't really care about gender norms)

-Ace is bisexual, but in denial about it

-Deuce is asexual, biromantic and also a trans guy

[rainshell]

So I spent the last 2 days working on making a drawing of Malleus and Leona together(I ended up painting them instead since it looked better, not the background though since I didn't want to spend an additional 10 hours on this)

I do genuinely love both characters and just wanted to see them together and since the canon won't do it I had to do it.

I wish they had more interaction in the game still like their arguments are so entertaining to watch and I feel like if they were alone they would get along way better somehow. Also is it just me or those 2 spend an awful amount of time together despite Leona's claims that he "hates" him.

[rainshell]

I got into twisted wonderland recently(I've only been playing for a month, but I did get to book 7), mostly out of curiosity to see what's up with it and why people say it's similar to obey me.

And to be honest the game is way better than I expected(to be fair my expectations were incredibly low, but despite that the game is genuinely good).And I will probably talk a lot about it.

Also of course my favourite character in the game is the lazy bastard again.

So here it is a drawing of Leona(as a lion since I don't draw humans). I also did it in the lion king style for no reason outside of wanting to see how it will look like.

Also yes I ended up taking more inspiration from Kovu's design then Scar's(because it just fit more)

The first version is the final one(wanted to make it look like an old illustration from a book) and the second one is the flat coloured one(just wanted to show the actual colours).

[rainshell]

It's complicated, but I usually just go with him being Lucifer's son, it's not a perfect definition for what he is, but it's the closest one. Even if neither of them calls it that. In a strange way, Satan (mostly in season 3) does seem to see Lucifer more like a parental figure than a brother(but let's be honest he will never admit that part, and the simple idea of that will probably make him mad). I also think it's easier for both of them to just call each other brothers. Especially after the way Lucifer treated Satan in the beginning(+his own insecurities). Lucifer did change, but I doubt Satan is ready to get over it and that's fine. This is just how I see it.

Satan's situation with his family is so intriguing to me in an emotional sense... He says he saw everything within Lucifer, but he wasn't physically there. He was born from Lucifer, but his family sees him as a brother. He was born last, but he's accepted as the 4th brother. So, what do y'all think...

Spoilers for lesson 40 of Nightbringer

I am not usually the kind of person who goes on a rant about stuff like this. Especially since for the most part I love Nightbringer but these last 2 lessons are so bad. Genuinely lessons 39 and 40 have to be some of the worst I have seen. We just go home that's it. No Nightbringer? Did the devs really forget about his cryptic words at the end of season 1(or of him entirely)? What was his plan in the first place? Just more questions than answers and that could have been fine, if they are least used Nightbringer in some way at the end. But they didn't.

And to be honest I am disappointed when the season has been amazing until this point. I still love the rest of the season, the idea of seeing the worst the brothers can be(outside of Satan and Beel, but their chapters were still good) was such a cool one. And the writing was the best we had in a long while(unfortunately it couldn't last).

At least I can still hope that Nightbringer will somehow appear in season 3, but I am probably giving the devs too much credit with that one. I just wish this story was better than it is especially since they could have done so much with this ending, but they didn't.

[rainshell]

Decided to finally post my MC Aaron. The human design sketch was done by my queer-platonic partner since I can't draw humans that well(the little chibi icon was done by me though), but I still wanted a sketch to show how Aaron looks like as a human.

Notes on the design + Aaron in general

-he is transmasc enby, he is 20 at the beginning of the og and around 24, by the time Nightbringer starts

-his personality is still a wip so for now I don't want to say anything about it(mostly because I do plan to write some things on them later)

-the sheep design is not based on any particular breed just a general sheep

-he does have pact marks, because I saw the idea a few years back and thought it was a cool touch(they look like tattoos that light up when using them). Not the most original idea, but I like it. In Nightbringer they are completely faded(before the pacts are remade) and only faintly show when using them at the beginning of season 1

-I added the ring of light(and I know it looks similar to the ring of wisdom. I just like to imagine they are identical outside of the name written on it and the material they are made of, gold in this case)

The reason for using the lesson 80 relationships for this is simply because it's not only the most spoiler free one, but also due to being the one that explains Aaron's relationships with the other characters the best. (The chibi of the characters used in the chart are not mine most of them are actually from the actual cards, but for the new characters I had to search online to find some in the same style).

And lastly a small explanation of that relationship chart(also to note the relationship chart doesn't represent my opinion of the characters or how I see them is just what made sense for my MC. It's not supposed to be 100% accurate to the game either since I wanted to make it a little bit more realistic)

- Aaron is in a relationship with both Belphie and Satan(although each relationship is completely different in nature).

-my MC relationship with Luci is not necessarily complicated, but more hard to explain, but for short they are very close, but more in a way of him acting like an older brother to Aaron(the thing with another kid is just a joke on Luci acting more like everyone's dad). Also my MC still loves to annoy the hell out of him when they get the chance so there is that.

-the rest are self-explanatory(outside of the Simeon part but going into detail about it will be spoiler so no)
