#about librarian yuu☆

[mochinomnoms]

If requests are open...👉👈

I was thinking of a scenario, you know how Yuu was isekai'd pretty late into the educational track (US High School/UK College kinda late), that's a lot of years of basic education that their missing. I can imagine them getting tutoring from say, Riddle, Azul or even Jamil (though if you can think of anyone else in this scenario, go nuts) and he just...kinda makes a comment about like, "How can you not know about The Chess Wars, Yuu? This is Primary School level stuff"! Or something and Yuu just...loses it on him. Kinda in a "Do you have ANY idea how smart I am to be keeping my head above water when Grims dragging it down, I've got YEARS of schooling to catch up on AND my job working for Crowly!? Let me ask you about any part of MY worlds history and see how smart you are"

Or something. This has been an idea in my head for a while and words are hard today...💦

(I write NRC a college/university level so that's how this will be written as)

“This is basic history! Really Prefect,” Ace never failed to make fun of you, and lately he'd been focusing in on your abysmal grades. “Even Juice knows about the Chess Wars! And he's skipped like, all of middle school!”

Deuce glared at Ace kicked him out from under the table, though Riddle actually seemed to agree with him.

“I do have to admit, Ace is correct. Prefect, even students like Ruggie and Epel know the basics, this is inexcusable of a student of Night Raven College!”

Riddle had his arms cross, tapping a finger on his arm impatiently as you looked off to the side with a blank expression. Grim was, to no one's surprise, asleep in their lap.

Of course, Grim's 'responsibility' were the magic based classes. The Prefect had, literally, everything else.

“…Well? What do you even have to say for yourself?” Riddle narrowed his eyes at them, huffing.

“.....Back home I was smart, you know.” It was a soft mumble, barely audible, which made Riddle angrier.

“Speak up! You're not a child, you can enunciate—”

“—I was smart, Riddle! I was really fucking smart!” A sudden bang of your fists on the table startled the other three and awoke Grim.

“W-w-wha—wha' happ—”

“I had my school paid for with academic scholarships! I was awarded on the Dean's List for being one of the best students at my old university! I bet if you came to my world, you'd have just as much trouble, maybe even more!”

You jabbed a finger at Riddle, growing louder and louder in your self-righteousness.

“You don't know about the world wars! You don't know about our ancient history and gods! You're great at alchemy, but I bet you'd be getting yelled at by my version of Crewel for not being able to recognize the periodic table! I mean, can you even understand my position? Or do you guys just like having someone to look down on to make yourselves feel better!”

At this point, your voice was echoing in the library, the steps of the librarian growing louder as he approached you.

“You know what? I don't want your help, I don't think I want to even be around you guys! Not if you're going to belittle me for being forcibly plucked from the only world I've ever known into your shitty own! Deuce, I meet me at my dorm if you get tired from being around two condescending asses!”

Before the librarian could kick you out, you'd grabbed your things and marched out, ignoring his chastising as you marched out of the building.

Riddle was, of course, incredibly red. Though, his lips were pursed in a way that made it unclear if it was from his usual rage, or from guilty embarrassment. Ace looked baffled, clicking his tongue and pouting.

“Geez, it was just a joke…you know it was, right Deuce?”

“I mean, I kinda get what they're saying…”

Few wanted to admit that they did get a bit of satisfaction in being 'smarter' than someone else, and that you were the easiest target for that. Plus, no one wanted to admit that they forgot that you came from another world. It was a reminder that you'd have to go back eventually.

Gossip from that conversation spread like wildfire among the student body. Riddle was, of course, embarrassed and giving a gentle talking to by Trey after hearing about it from Cater. Though, he wasn't nearly as gentle to Ace, who didn't have the grades to back up his talk. Deuce did his best to support you in his own way, which was mostly sharing the notes and feedback he'd gotten from Riddle, at least until you were back on speaking terms with him.

Some of the other students started approaching you after a little while. Offering you a spot in their own study group, letting you ask the 'stupid' questions without those extra snide comments, though some of them have to remind themselves to shut their mouths. It takes awhile for you to talk to Ace and Riddle again, but once you do and resume your study sessions, Riddle is softer and Ace just a bit kinder.

What do you think dan heng or imbibitor lunae/yuu

𝐓𝐖𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐃𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐆!𝐘𝐔𝐔

A cold and reserved young man who is reticent about his past. To avoid his kin, he decided to travel with the Astral Express. Dan Heng's true form from his Vidyadhara lineage carries the residual power left behind by his past incarnation, the Imbibitor Lunae. Upon accepting the majestic horns atop his crown, he must accept all the merits and faults attributed to that sinner.

During their appearance at twst for the first chapter, Dan heng!yuu hide their lineage as well not revealing their true lineage to anyone.

They try not to stand out a lot, only staying at the back and observing the situation but not attending to the problem and will intervene in case it gets out of hand.

But during chapter 2, they use their imbibitor lunae form to defeat overblot Leona, after the fight was over before anyone can react to Dan heng!yuu has already left the area. But many students have already witnessed their true form so there's no point in hiding it.

Dan heng!yuu continue to not show up to school for a few days until Crowley asks them to return back to school, they decide to avoid the first years due to being scared of their judgement.

They will still continue to wear their human form even though their identity was revealed to the public, they become the popular topic of gossip but grim is there to protect them from it.

Most of the time, dan heng! Yuu will be in the library reading and managing the books Crowley gave them an official job as the librarian of the school.

After their secret was revealed many students started to treat them like royalty which is something Dan heng!yuu isn't very fond of it because they wish to be treated the same. Even Crowley started less annoying because of this.

Lilia originally had a hinge about dang heng!yuu being more than what they appear but turns out it was true and was happy to finally find another dragon for malleus to play with. So when Dan heng!yuu was in the library Lilia approached them inviting them to a tea party that was hosting malleus and Dan heng! Yuu to meet.

At first ace and deuce started to ask questions about them because they were upset about them hiding their lineage but soon let it go and they accepted Dan heng!yuu.

Dan heng!yuu sometimes meditate in the forest behind the ramshackle and was spotted by rook who was hunting, and for the next hour rook admired Dan heng!yuu imbibitor lunae form. And they soon became one of rooks muses.

Another thing is that Dan heng!yuu sometimes visit the ignihyde dorm for peace and quiet since sometime NRC can be quite hand full.

Sebek admired or hated Dan heng!yuu, he admired them being a part of a noble prestigious dragon blood line but saw them hiding their true lineage as a sign of being ashamed as well as someone that is threatening malleus position.

Malleus on the other hand was happy that another dragon had a drop of NRC, he and Dan heng!yuu would discuss a lot of topics together. As well as him being interested in Dan heng!yuu lineage.

Sometimes, Lilia would invite Dan heng!yuu on a spar or training day and will ask them to spar with sebek or silver as well asking them to teach them some pole arm tricks.

They often take long walks at night, enjoying the serenity of the moonlight and the stars. Sometimes, Malleus or Silver joins them for these reflective moments.

Dan heng Yuu carry a personal journal where they sketch or write down their thoughts, though they guard it fiercely. This journal contained notes as well for school and work as a personal diary for Dan heng!Yuu to write everyday.

Their voice is soothing, and many students find themselves unintentionally relaxing when Dan heng Yuu speaks, even during stressful situations.

Leona originally saw them as a small fry but after chapter two and their secret was revealed, Leona held a disdain over Dan heng!yuu due to them being the one that defeats them and they remind him of malleus.

Dan heng!Yuu is very talented of cloudhymn magic, they have the ability to control and create water at a large scale being able to control the entire ocean. This magic as well is a noble dragon and they have become one of Azul targets.

Azul after the reveal has been trying to rope them to a contract but Dan heng!yuu is very much sharp and is not easily fooled by his schemes and is able to see through it. As well being one of jade and floyd entertainment sources wanting to get a reaction from them.

Ace - Overachiever Syndrome

Written for @flashfictionfridayofficial current prompt.

“You know this paper is only five hundred words, right?” 

The stack of books landed on the table with a heavy thud. Someone from across the library loudly shushed them for the noise. Ace ignored the shusher, as did everyone else, and groaned when Yuu opened the first book in the stack. “You’re not even gonna be able to read that before our next history of magic class!” 

“I’m done!” Grim exclaimed, earning them another “Sssshhhhussshhh!” Grim proudly held up his paper. “Trein’s gonna give me a gold star when he sees this!” 

Deuce leaned across the table and squinted at Grim’s wobbly handwriting. “The...Queendom...of...Roses...is...gi..gib?” 

Ace snorted on a laugh. “Those first-grade reading lessons are finally paying off.” 

Deuce’s cheeks turned red. “It’s not my reading that’s the problem! Grim’s handwriting is barely legible.” 

“What d’ya mean you can’t read my handwriting?” Grim flattened the paper on the table. His paw perfectly fit the inked paw print he had left behind on the bottom corner of the paper. “It’s perfectly readable!” 

“You misspelled big! The b is at the beginning.” 

“That is a b! You just can’t read!” 

While Deuce and Grim argued—the shusher interrupting with a few shushes—Yuu flipped through the thick textbook. Ace rolled his eyes and started balancing his pencil on the tip of his nose. “Are you seriously about to do a binge study session? We’ve got homework in three other classes to do 

“I’m glad you’re taking our assignments seriously,” Yuu said. She kept flipping through the book. Her speed would have impressed someone like Deuce, but Ace knew better. She wasn’t some super-genius with a photo memory who could skim a whole textbook in fifty seconds and retain everything. She was looking at all the pictures at the most. “So you understand why it’s important I do research for this assignment.” 

Ace groaned and let his pencil roll off his nose to bounce on the table. “Doesn’t that defeat the whole point though? Trein said the paper was to assess what we already know about the Queendom of Roses.” 

“That’s easy for someone like you who grew up in the Queendom of Roses,” Yuu countered. She was about halfway through the textbook now, and she paused on a photograph taking up one whole page. “Unlike you, I didn’t grow up in Twisted Wonderland. So how am I supposed to write five hundred words about a place I don’t know?” 

“Easy.” Ace twirled his pencil through his fingers and grinned. “Just write I don’t know anything five hundred times.” 

Yuu crumbled a piece of paper for the single purpose of throwing it at Ace’s head. “I think I'm going to do it my way, smartass.” 

Ace batted away the paper ball. “Suit yourself.” He pointed at the stack of books she had collected. “You know there’s, like, fifty books in that series, right?” 

Yuu’s eyes widened. “Fifty? Are you sure?” 

Ace nodded. “Yeah. War in the Queendom of Roses, right? It’s way popular in the Queendom of Roses even outside of school. Riddle quotes it at least once a day.” 

“Fifty,” Yuu repeated, her voice soft like she didn’t even realize she spoke aloud. She didn’t react to Grim flying across the table to tackle Deuce in the face. “I only saw these books on the shelves...” 

Ace shrugged. “Maybe the librarian put the other books in different sections. Not all of them are about history. One of them is a straight-up cookbook. Trey’s got that one in Heartslabyul’s kitchen.” 

Yuu stood from her chair. Her eyes shone with a new determination. “I need to find those books.” 

“You need to write your paper, so we can get out of here!” 

“I can’t understand the Queendom of Roses without those books.” 

“Do you not know how convoluted the history of the Queendom of Roses is? Riddle can’t even give you a timeline that’s 100% accurate!” 

Yuu punched the palm of her hand. “I’ll start with the Queendom of Roses and then move on to the history of the countries in the Shaftlands.” 

“We’re not even supposed to start on the Shaftlands until next semester!” 

Yuu completely ignored him and disappeared into the bookshelves. Ace groaned and slouched into his chair. “Man! If I had wanted a Riddle-study-session, I would’ve just gone to the dorm.” 

Deuce and Grim ignored him too, the two of them loudly wrestling on the floor. Whoever had been shushing them had given up, and Ace had the sneaking suspicion the librarian would soon be around to kick them out. He threw the paper ball at the back of Grim’s head just to be sure the librarian had a strong enough reason to kick them out. 

It took Yuu getting into a loud argument with a Scarabia student over War in the Queendom of Roses Vol. XLII for the librarian to finally expel them. The next morning, Yuu turned in a thick stack of papers for her assignment. When Trein only stared at the stack, Yuu shrugged. “The instructions were to write at least five hundred words.” 

Trein was very strict about the length of the rest of the assignments he gave them.

More Magical Girl AU Lore

More character info! Only the teachers as the boys will get more spotlight once their arcs are talked about more

Crowley- One of the best Magical Fighters of the current time, he's just a dog shit idiot though which makes it hard to respect him.

Sam- A very skilled Magical Fighter who uses trained blot creatures to fight long range. Currently living in the "Normal World" and running an occult shop.

Crewel- Tired and overworked fashion school graduate trying to survive in the industry while raising his adoptive daughter.

Vargas- Store manager of the steak house Yuu works at. He knows things are hard for her and Crewel so he lets her get away with a lot.

Trein- Local librarian who unknowingly has a magical sidekick cat. (Lucius being a dire beast and just NOT TALKING FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS TREIN HAS OWNED HIM. Also Trein just not questioning why his cat is fucking over 20 years old)

Yuu is the weapon Crowley had crafted, though her form has changed. He had crafted a mirror that was suppose to take raw untapped power and shape it into the ideal weapon to stop any overblot. A constantly learning swiss army knife.

When the mirror fell into the Normal World it changed shape to reflect that world's equivalent of untapped potential; a baby.

Crewel found Yuu alone, wailing, in an alley way.

He isn't completely heartless so he picked her up and booked it to the police station. Sadly for him, she manages to endear herself to him and when no missing baby reports come in, Crewel elects to just taking her in.

Yuu is raised to be an actual person instead of a weapon but keeps the power of raw potential. Grows up to be a bit of a delinquent because of it honestly. Too much energy, but not enough money and resources to give her the opportunities to really use it productively. And she feels guilty about it because Crewel tries very hard to keep her out of juvie and them both in relative comfort.

Its why she got a parttime job, to ease money problems in the house.

But, once the Heartslabyul boys show up, trying to track this 'weapon' and they keep running into this girl. They start causing problems for her that result in her getting fired from Vargas's steak house.

(They think she's a very sophisticated blot monster who's got the mirror. So they came to her JOB and started trying to fight her. She fought back. Threw a whole ass sink at Cater.)

-More Arc 1 plot that hasn't been thought of yet-

Yuu stumbles on the Heartslabyul crew fighting back overbloted Riddle and they're losing BAD.

Yuu is not willing to help them because they've been nothing but bothersome.

Trey promises to pay her 50,000 dollars if she helps them.

THAT BEING THE THING THAT UNLOCKS YUU'S MAGICAL GIRL POWERS. And such she agrees to help them. Trey and Cater have to walk her through using her powers and NO DON'T HIT ACE, YOU COULD KILL HIM.

Yuu manages to solo defeat Riddle and even manages to not fucking kill him.

Yuu asks Trey for her money and Trey admits to not knowing how human money works and he just said a big number that came to mind to get her to help them. Magical fighters don't actually use money or have a real concept of it.

The Heartslabyul crew now all work at Sam's shop to pay Yuu her fucking money.

TwstxStardew Valley au!

Yuu inherited the Ramshackle farm from their grandfather. It's located in the little town of Night Raven in the Valley of Sages. Shortly after moving in, they find a cat called Grim. Now it's up to Yuu to restore the farm and town to it's former glory. All the characters are the townsfolk, all the staff are the ones that run the local businesses, and Crowley is the mayor. And all the students are the marriage candidates.

Sam runs the general store, but unlike Pierre he's pretty cool. Vargas is the blacksmith. Trien is the librarian, and his cat hangs out amongst the shelves. Crewel I was thinking we have a new business that is the local clothing store where you can buy the bag upgrade from him and instead of the sewing machine being in Emily's house, it's in the shop. So all that stuff would be in one place.

Kalim as the resident animal lover I can see being the one that sells you your farm animals. Maybe his business is a branch of his parents much larger business that he runs and Jamil is his employee.

I feel like it goes without saying that Idia is the Sebastian here. He's the freelance programmer living in his parents basement, and Ortho Is his kid brother you see running around town that always tells Yuu about how cool his brother actually is.

Silver lives with his veteran dad in their little cottage in the woods outside your farm, they like living off the land out there. I can also see Lilia and Baul as the ones that run the adventurers guild. Maybe the Zigvolt family dental clinic is also in town and Sebek works there. And in that same vein, maybe Mrs. Rosehearts is the town doctor and her son, Riddle, is her assistant. She's planned everything out that Riddle will become a doctor like her and take over the clinic one day.

Epel is still a farm boy here, it feels right, he's in his element in this au. The Felmiers run an orchard on the opposite side of town. His granny used to know your grandpa, and maybe Farmer Yuu can buy fruit tree saplings from them.And of course get a good price on the apple ones.

Deuce is the former town delinquent that lives with his single mom. He's doing his best to turn their life around, he grew out of his old ways and wants to do better. I can see his heart events being about people assuming he's going to cause trouble because of his old habits and Deuce having to prove he's not that little teenage punk anymore. And instead of Idia/Sebastian, Deuce is the one that takes you on the motorcycle date if you romance him.

Mostro Lounge is the equivalent of the Stardrop Saloon, and Azul is th owner with the tweels working for him.

Malleus I can see being the one that lives in the wizard tower in the woods outside your farm. He's studied magic all his life because it's all he's ever known. But he wants very badly to interact with the town and the villagers, but everyone tends to stay away. The only exceptions being Lilia, Silver, and Sebek. That is until Yuu moves in and discovers his tower, and once Malleus helps them understand the Juiminos in the community center, they become better friends.

Part 74

First - Previous - Masterlist - TBC

Kuroki was going to grit his teeth and bear this stupid tour of Octavinelle. He’d been here nearly every day for over a semester because of his job, but sure, he totally needed to be guided around. For no reason other than because Jade and Floyd wanted to annoy him, and Azul was currently happy enough with Kuroki (supposedly) under his thumb to indulge them.

Basically, he was suffering. But what else was new?

He kept himself as neutral as he possibly could as he was led around the dorm. If he bored Jade and Floyd enough, they’d leave him alone.

Or fight him, maybe. He’d cross that bridge when he got to it.

Normally, he’d rather burn that bridge and be done with it, but considering he was staying in Octavinelle for an indeterminate amount of time… he wasn’t willing to take that risk at the moment.

Actually, maybe, if he fucked up badly enough while here, he could go to Scarabia for ‘sanctuary’... of course, he wouldn’t be too happy in Scarabia, either, but at least that meant Ito would have more protection from Jamil (Grim was there to help them, but… well, he was Grim).

Azul pointed into the kitchen. Stainless steel kitchenware gleamed back at Kuroki, threatening to blind him. Because of course the communal kitchen in Octavinelle was just as hostile to all passersby as the people who lived there.

“As in all other dorms, the equipment here is free to use, but you’ll have to pay for the ingredients. It’s all first come first serve, so come early if you want to make yourself breakfast… as for other meals, you may cook if you want, but most of the students here take advantage of the Lounge’s employee discount during lunch and dinner, and I assume you will do the same.”

“That’s weirdly generous of you,” Kuroki spoke up, despite his better judgment, his eyes narrowing at Azul, in search of The Catch.

Azul scoffed. “Of course. It is the only way I can get away with paying the people here minimum wage.”

“Minimum wage?!” Kuroki said, his voice squeaking in his incredulity. And he couldn’t even bring himself to care about how embarrassing that was, because Kuroki’s paycheck was equal to both Ito and Enma’s combined.

Sam may be off the hook, since he let them buy everything at wholesale price, but Crowley sure wasn’t giving them any perks. Do you know how bad it is, being a worse boss than Azul Ashengrotto?

“... yeah?” said Azul, slowly, looking mildly perturbed by Kuroki’s reaction.

“I’m going to kill him.”

Jade and Floyd perked up.

Whoops. Kuroki forgot he was supposed to be boring them.

“Kill who?” said Floyd.

“Whom,” corrected Jade.

Floyd slapped his hand over Jade’s mouth to shut him up.

… ah, whatever.

Kuroki smiled. “Hey, do you guys think I should kill the Headmaster or sue him?”

“Kill him,” said Jade, his voice slightly muffled. “He would find a way to wriggle his way out of a lawsuit.”

“And I think it’d be funny to watch you try,” said Floyd.

Kuroki nodded. To what Jade said, he was ignoring Floyd. “Great, great, I have some research to do, then.”

~

He popped his head into the library and lit up when he saw Ito at the desk.

He started over, intent on asking the local librarian where to find books on faeries (and, perhaps, catch up on what they’d been doing in the few long, long hours since he’d seen them last), only to stop cold.

They were already sporting a Scarabia uniform, but that wasn’t what made Kuroki pause.

No, it was that Ace and Enma were there, too. They were huddled close to each other, speaking in hushed tones. Enma was flipping through a book, his lips pulled into a thoughtful little frown as he nodded along to whatever Ace was saying.

Kuroki pressed his lips into a thin line.

And then he disappeared among the shelves, searching for a book on faeries without help. Ito had been organizing the place all year, it should be pretty easy to find things by now…

Oh, he had been being petulant, he hadn’t actually expected to find what he was looking for so quickly. Hm. Congrats on being good at your job, Ito.

He had complicated feelings about this. He intended to deal with none of them.

There were a lot of books about faeries, enough to have their own section of the library devoted to them.

(At least five of the books were about Malleus Draconia alone. Which was slightly trippy… Kuroki hoped the guy never showed up for the mandatory Housewarden meetings, he was pretty sure his frail little heart would collapse in on itself instantly.)

He picked out a book that looked rather old. A glance at the copyright date showed that it was almost half a millennium old, which would place it directly in the middle of that one war between humans and faeries. Which was awesome for what Kuroki needed. Because, yeah, colonization is bad. But. He was pretty sure that, if he was going to find any books on how to kill faeries in this school, then it would be in a book like this.

He just hoped the racism wouldn’t be too blatant…

Well, he could always return the book later if it made him feel too Icky.

He may want the guy dead, but not because he was a faerie. No, he wanted him dead because he was an exploitative bitch who also happened to be a faerie. An important distinction to make.

He poked his head out from behind the shelf, and found Ace had left. Ito and Enma were still chatting, though, their hands flitting this way and that as they talked.

Did they ever look that animated when he was around?

Kuroki felt the fabric of the book’s spine curl beneath his fingers and grimaced, loosening his grip on the book. He glared down at the strange fabric that had gathered under his fingernails, tacky enough to be just vaguely uncomfortable.

He glanced back up, at Ito and Enma.

He should probably check this book out, but Ito had never forced him to check out or return anything he found at the library, and he needed to get this – whatever it was out from under his nails before the texture made him sick.

~

Kuroki stared at his reflection in the mirror Octavinelle had provided for him.

He looked like himself. There was no flicker where his reflection looked like something Else, something Other, like the stories always love to talk about. There was nothing that registered as Wrong. His eyes were more sunken than he remembered them looking, his hair more unkempt and his cheeks more sallow, but he didn’t think that was a glaring red flag that he was no longer human. He just hadn’t been eating as much. Being poor was just Like That sometimes.

He was the same.

He should be comforted by this.

And yet he wasn’t.

Have you ever heard of the Ship of Theseus?

Once upon a time, Theseus had a ship. It was a very nice ship, and he used it to go fishing every day. Now, of course, when you fish every day, your ship is bound to get some wear and tear. So, Theseus, of course, has to make sure that his ship can keep running. He would replace things as they broke.

Eventually, he would have replaced every single part of the ship at least once.

Is it the same ship?

You could argue that, so long as it was still called the Ship of Theseus, then that’s what it is.

You’d be right.

But that’s not the question here.

Is it the same ship?

Now, what if, over time, Theseus started upgrading his ship as it wore down? His old engine had run its course, and the brand he'd been using had just come out with a new prototype, so he might as well try it out. This new metal is more buoyant than the old one, and more durable to boot, maybe he should replace the ship’s hull with that. He really doesn’t like this shade of blue anymore, he’s getting old, and his eyesight is getting worse, and if the ship looks any more like the sea he’d misplace it! Perhaps he should change the paint while he’s at it. Oh, and now the furniture doesn’t match the new color, so some refurbishing is in order, too…

Is it the same ship?

Okay.

Now, extend that to a human being.

Kuroki Yuuya’s body was destroyed, and now he needs a new one.

This new body’s lungs aren’t as good as they used to be. This new body was five centimeters shorter than he remembered being. This new body’s hair was wavy, whereas Kuroki’s original hair had always stuck flat to his forehead.

Was he still Kuroki Yuuya?

He hadn’t been cybernetically enhanced, as far as he could tell. This wasn’t the classic example of the Ship of Theseus, but the question could still be asked: this was, undoubtedly, not his original body, so what made him ‘Kuroki’?

His parents had named him, and yet they had never seen this body.

Was he still Kuroki Yuuya?

Is it his soul? His memories? If his soul has been shoved into a new body, was he still allowed to call it his? Can he still consider himself more than a memory?

How about we take things just one step further?

Kuroki Yuuya does not believe he remembers what his parents look like anymore. He does not remember the street he lived on, his commute home, nor what his average day at school was like. He is learning about a world he could have never even dreamed of before, and has met and made friends with people who should not exist in the same reality as him. The universe here was made of mana, so much so that it even flavors the very food he eats in ways that are unfamiliar to him.

Now, he asks again:

If he does not remember how things used to be, can not jog his memory with anything from his old world, cannot go back, and can only form new memories –

Was he still Kuroki Yuuya?

~

Octavinelle’s sheets were smooth. Silk or satin, he couldn’t tell, all he knew was that they were soft to the touch. The bed was comfortable, he sunk into the plush mattress. Sleep should have come to him easily. Certainly more easily than it had every other time he'd tried to fall asleep in this universe.

And yet.

He stared at the ceiling.

It wasn’t particularly interesting. The crown moulding was shaped like the crests of a particularly active sea. He could see a few ships dotted among the waves. It was nice, sure, but he wouldn’t have taken note of it if he wasn’t stuck awake and bored out of his mind.

He turned over in bed, glaring at the door. As if it had personally wronged him by merely existing.

Part of him was tempted to start thumbing through the book on faeries, but then he definitely wouldn’t be getting any sleep. Unless the book was super boring, which he hoped wasn’t the case.

The book was already, probably, racist. It couldn’t be boring, too. Pick a struggle.

A knock on the door sent Kuroki spilling out of bed, hitting the floor in a heap of tangled blankets and limbs.

The door clicked open, and there stood Ito and Enma, poking their heads in.

Kuroki couldn’t even find it in himself to be embarrassed about falling over. He scrambled to his feet and all but threw himself at the two of them.

Ito laughed as he went crashing into their chest, wrapping their arms around him in return.

“What’re you laughing about?” Kuroki grumbled.

“We're just relieved,” Enma said. “We’ve poked our heads into so many wrong rooms.”

“I don’t know which Leech twin we saw, but if we’re dead by tomorrow you need to kill Floyd Leech-senpai,” Ito said.

Kuroki raised his eyebrows. “I thought you liked Floyd-senpai.”

“Yeah, but I tell you to kill Jade Leech-senpai then Enma would complain.”

“I would,” Enma agreed. “Such a beautiful man, gone from this world too soon…”

“Beautiful?” said Grim, skeptically. “He looks scary.”

“Yeah…” said Enma, seeming so very pleased by this fact.

“And here I thought you’d want your graves next to each other,” Kuroki said, dryly.

“No, I need him to live on,” said Enma. “It would help me rest peacefully.”

“Nah, I’m killing both of them,” Kuroki decided, after some thought.

Enma’s mouth dropped open in mock offense. “Why do you hate me?”

“Try not being annoying next time.”

“Attainable goals, Kuroki,” Ito said.

Enma gasped. “Et tu, Ito?”

Ito nodded solemnly.

~

They sat huddled in bed. They should be sleeping, that was the reason they had all gathered here today, united in a common mission. However. That was not what they were doing, because they were teenagers and, sometimes, teenagers make bad decisions when it comes to their health.

They needed to convince everyone that they couldn't sleep a wink without each other. If the school thought they were even worse off when apart, then surely they’d let them all hang out again.

Their decision-making abilities might be slightly… subpar. To be fair to them, it was four in the morning. No one’s making brilliant plans at four in the morning.

Certainly not these three, who average about one good plan a month even with a healthy amount of sleep.

“How’d you get past Viper-senpai?” Kuroki asked.

Ito shrugged (Kuroki made a sound of annoyance when their hair moved, messing up the braid that would have been perfect otherwise he swears).

“At the end of the day, Jamil-senpai is still his servant. I just cried until Kalim-senpai let me come visit,” Ito said, nonchalant. “Pretty sure he knew I was playing it up, but it worked, so.”

Ah, well, they’ve used up their singular good plan for the month. It was nice while it lasted.

Enma blew on his fingers, trying to make the nail polish dry faster. It didn’t seem to be working, much to his chagrin. “Maybe I should have tried that.”

“What’d you do?” Ito asked.

“Hm, I forgot,” Enma said.

Kuroki and Ito shared conspiratorial glances. They suspected, for some reason, that Enma was lying to them. But they could be wrong!

Enma waved a hand vaguely. “Whatever I did, I don’t think Ruggie’s gonna try to stop me from leaving tomorrow.”

“I’m surprised he tried at all,” Ito said.

“Well, he gets paid to do what Kingscholar-senpai doesn’t wanna do, so.”

“... well, now I feel bad for him,” Ito frowned.

“Bullshit, no you don’t,” Kuroki accused.

Ito snickered. “Okay, maybe not. But, like, I’ve been thinking. We should be nicer to Bucchi-senpai, right? He’s like… us, but in Savanaclaw.”

“But he’s annoying,” Enma pointed out, in a tone that suggested he thought it should be considered a high crime.

“We’re annoying,” Ito said, reasonably. “Constantly. For fun.”

Enma’s brain seemed to break a little. He stared at his hands, buffering. Started blowing on his nails, again, because apparently that was all he had the brainpower to do.

Kuroki tied off Ito’s hair, proud of his work even if it was a little bit lopsided. He certainly wasn’t as bad as Grim, and therefore Ito could never complain.

~

“They’re in each other’s laps,” Floyd stage-whispered.

“I see that, Floyd,” Jade ‘whispered’ right back. “It seems their attachment might be even worse than we originally assumed.”

“They’re just trying to make us regret separating them, ignore them,” Leona said as he trudged into the room. Despite his words, he still grimaced at the sight of them sitting together, and immediately turned right back around. He probably would have waltzed right out the door, but Ruggie was hiding behind him, which made retracing his steps slightly difficult.

Ruggie squinted at them from behind Leona’s back, wary.

Kuroki raised an eyebrow. “Hey, actually, what’d you do to get away?”

Enma shrugged innocently. “It’s in the past, now.”

“He tried to push me down the fucking stairs!” Ruggie snapped.

“That was so long ago, Ruggie, get over it,” Enma said.

“It was last night!”

“Exactly. I’ve slept since then. I’m basically a new person.”

Ruggie’s mouth fell open.

“It’s day one, don’t let them get to you,” Jack said.

(The Yuus glared at him. Jack held up his hands in surrender.)

Ruggie didn’t seem to be listening to Jack’s actually rather sound advice: “He tried. To push me. Down the stairs.”

“You’re a big boy, now, walk it off,” Ito said.

“I think I hate them,” Ruggie said, in a tone that suggested he had come to some kind of grand realization.

“Same,” Jamil gritted out.

Ito smiled. “Good morning, senpai.”

“Since you cried for five hours yesterday, passed out from dehydration, drank water, and then cried for two more hours, I have decided that you need to up your antidepressant dosage.”

Ito’s mouth dropped open in utter horror. “That’s fucked up. You can’t do that.”

Azul tilted his head to the side. “You’re on antidepressants?”

Enma threw a textbook at his head. Azul’s glasses cracked upon impact.

“Textbook example of bullying,” Enma muttered, under his breath.

“Nooooooo,” whined Kuroki. He’d hoped they’d finally managed to complain their way out of dealing with Enma’s terrible puns, but alas.

Ito tilted their head to the side. “I missed you throwing books. You should start that up again.”

Enma rolled his eyes. “Only at people who deserve it.”

“That’s, like, everyone at this school,” Kuroki pointed out.

“... good point,” said Enma, who proceeded to throw a book Jamil’s way. Perhaps just for the fun of it.

Couldn’t be that fun, though. Jamil dodged the attack with ease. And then pointed at Ito. “Two pills. Chop chop. School starts soon and I have to make sure Kalim actually goes to the right class.”

Ito scowled, grumbling something about how Jamil was being ‘unfair’. And also a lot of other words that Kuroki didn’t know, but strongly suspected were swear words in another language.

Ace and Deuce strode in, glanced at the Ramshackle students, and then apparently decided that they were going to sit in a different part of the room today.

Smart.

Kuroki turned and buried his face in Enma’s shirt so he could catch some sleep. It was just Alchemy class, anyway, it wasn’t like something could go wrong.

~

Things went wrong. Ito’s hair turned blue and they proceeded to have an identity crisis over it. Kuroki and Enma’s hair also turned blue but they had simply accepted this for what it was. Sometimes your hair turns blue, and you just have to deal with it.

Crewel saved them from their own incompetence almost immediately. With the kind of speed of someone who had predicted something would go wrong and had prepared ahead of time. Kuroki wasn’t sure how he managed to predict they’d change their hair color, considering it was a transformation potion with the goal of turning people into ghosts temporarily (cultural appropriation?), but Ito’s breakdown came to an abrupt halt, so Kuroki wasn’t going to question it. He owed the man that much, at the very least.

~

“We have a bet on how long it takes the school to snap and let you guys be in the same dorm again,” Ace announced later that day.

Ito stepped out of the changing rooms, frowning as they absently toweled off their hair. “Really?”

“Yeah, I thought you’d ease people into it, so I gave you a month,” Deuce said, sounding very bitter about this.

“You thought we’d be nice?” Kuroki asked, mildly offended.

“Usually you like to be more subtle about things,” Deuce shrugged. “I had faith in your ability to hold out for maximum effectiveness.”

Enma snorted. “Terrible decision, really. Ace, what’d you think would happen?”

“Why, so you can prove me wrong?” Ace asked, squinting.

“You brought it up?” said Grim.

“... good point. Jack thinks the school will last at least a week. I don’t think they’ll last until Friday.”

Kuroki hummed thoughtfully. “Unless something big happens, I think they’ll make it a week and a half before giving up. Sorry, Ace.”

Ace hung his head in disappointment. “I forgot to take into account just how stubborn some of these people can be. Can’t you fudge things a little? For me? Be extra annoying?”

“You don’t think we’re trying?” Ito asked, their lips curled into a pout. “We sat in Enma’s lap for the entirety of Alchemy and History, it’s not our fault that the Housewardens are all in different classes than us. It makes it kinda hard to annoy them.”

“Then why’d you do it?” Deuce asked.

“... that’s a good point,” Kuroki admitted. “We were so caught up in the euphoria of annoying people, we forgot our true goal.”

Ito crossed their arms over their chest. “We need to recenter our efforts.”

“Later,” nodded Enma. “First, we need to decide where to shower now that Ramshackle’s out of commission.”

“Octavinelle?” offered Kuroki.

There was a collective shrug.

So, they headed off toward Octavinelle to not-so-subtly steal their showers. The people there were all part fish anyway, who knows if they sweat at all. Clearly, they need it more.

~

They spent lunch with their new dorms.

They didn’t do anything wrong. It was lunchtime, which is, in their opinions, sacred.

However, this seemed to unnerve their dormmates far more than if they had actually started causing mischief. Within ten minutes, Enma and Kuroki had both been individually brought over to Ito’s table, sat down on either side of them, and promptly abandoned. Jamil’s eye had twitched at the sight of two new charges, and he had also abandoned ship, dragging Kalim behind him.

The Yuus couldn’t complain. They liked it when things went their way. Especially when they didn’t even have to put any effort into scheming. What a win!

~

When Kuroki woke up the next day, he was drenched in sweat.

Not a great way to wake up.

And it was weird, considering Octavinelle was often on the colder side.

Sure, he was currently curled around Ito, Enma, and Grim – who all ran slightly warm – but it shouldn’t be enough for the three of them to have thrown off their sheets in the middle of the night.

Hell, even Ito had kicked their part of the blankets away, and they liked the heat.

Kuroki sat up, slowly, groaning and rubbing at the sweat that threatened to drip into his eyes as he fumbled around, blindly, for their phone.

It was five in the morning. Great.

They had a million notifications. Less great.

He thumbed through a couple of them.

King Octopussy: What did you do?

Public Enemy #1: come onnnn man why do you have to make everyone miserable what did deucey and i do to deserve this

Future Murder Victim: Why must you three make things so difficult for me?

Hm? He had made things difficult for Crowley? He didn’t remember doing anything the day before that would affect him, but hey, maybe he had just forgotten. His head did kind of feel like it was swimming in his own sweat, maybe it had slipped his mind.

Anything that upset Crowley was, by his standards, a good thing.

He tossed the phone away (he heard it clatter on the floor, possibly cracking the already broken screen further, but that was a problem for the Kuroki of Tomorrow), and fell right back to sleep.

~

He woke up to someone manhandling him out of bed.

This was, in his opinion, probably a violation of his rights. They should have, at least, knocked on the door before coming in.

And the hands grabbing him were all sweaty. It was gross. He squirmed out of their grip.

He proceeded to hit the floor hard enough to make his head spin.

He glowered up at Floyd.

Floyd glared right back at him.

Oh. That probably wasn’t good.

Kuroki blinked the last of the sleep from his eyes. And then the sweat. Ugh. Why was everything so sweaty? What higher power decided to fucking melt him? Why?!

“What did you four do?” Azul asked. Calmly. While slamming Ito’s face into a dresser. Ito didn’t wake up, something that only seemed annoy him further.

“Nothing?” said Kuroki. It came out as a question. Probably shouldn’t have. But, honestly, they did so much stuff that it was, sometimes, hard to keep track of. Not that he should be admitting that aloud.

From the incredulous look on Azul’s face, he was beginning to fear he might have admitted that aloud.

Enma saved him by making a truly pitiful sound.

Everyone looked over and found that Enma and Jade had ended up in a truly embarrassing position. Even anime romcoms had nothing on this position. Dear god, no ambiguity there at all.

Jade was as composed as ever, save for the vague amusement lining the edges of his expression. Enma, on the other hand, looked like he was on the verge of spontaneously combusting.

Oh. No. He just passed out. Crazy.

Kuroki pinched the bridge of his nose. The embarrassment had spread to him in Enma’s absence. Because Enma was, technically, also him. Would he be like this, if he liked people? Thank fuck he hated literally everyone.

He rubbed his temples. “Okay, first of all, Jade-senpai, if you don’t let go of Enma I will learn how to make a mean dragon roll. Did you know that you prepare eels while they’re still alive?”

Jade allowed Enma to slump to the floor.

Kuroki turned to Floyd, who had also let go of him. Right. Twins. Same species. Great, that threat got so much mileage. He made note of that for later.

He looked at Azul. “That’s not how you wake them up. Also. Get out of our room, please, what are you even doing here?”

“What did you do? Why is my dorm a sauna?” Azul snapped, decidedly not leaving the room.

“I don’t think we did anything,” Kuroki shrugged. “Wouldn’t be here experiencing the ‘sauna’ if I knew it was going to happen, would I?”

Azul narrowed his eyes, but couldn’t seem to find any faults in Kuroki’s logic. Fucking obviously. He was right.

But, before Azul could actually leave (and what a shame that would have been), his phone buzzed.

As did the Yuus’ phone, vibrating sadly on the floor where Kuroki had abandoned it hours prior.

He collected his phone, reluctantly turning it over to inspect the damage, only to find a message from Crowley front and center of the screen:

Housewarden meeting in my office. Now. Bring the Yuus.

Aw, man…

~

“The precious magestone that supplies the faeries with magical power is gone!” wailed Crowley, the second they stepped through the door.

Wow. No time to process the fact that the room was snowing at all? Okay.

Ito, Enma, and Kuroki all stared at him, blankly.

“Does this mean it’s easier to kill you, now?” Kuroki asked, after a few seconds.

“Very concerning question, Yuuya-san!” Crowley said. “And no, the magestone isn't for me. Our campus is kept pleasantly livable year-round thanks to our many faerie benefactors! With the magestone gone, we cannot fuel their magic, and thus we cannot control the campus's air conditioning.”

“Oh. Okay,” said Ito. “Oof?”

Despite Ito’s utterly unenthusiastic response, Crowley nodded along animatedly, continuing to lament that, “I kept it stored in the Mirror Chamber to avoid this precise scenario, and yet! Someone has undoubtedly stolen it. The nerve — the audacity!”

Every eye fell on the Yuus.

Even the Yuus were looking at each other, silently asking whether or not they’d done this. It sounded like something they’d do, after all.

“... can you give us a second?”

They leaned into a huddle without waiting for an answer and started frantically waving their hands at each other. It wasn’t any form of sign language known to man, but these three sure knew what they were saying to each other. Or, at least, they certainly thought they understood each other.

Finally, they drew back, a consensus made:

“Wasn’t us,” said Ito.

“What, the internal investigation cleared you of wrongdoing?” Ruggie snarked. He was not over being pushed down the stairs, apparently. Typical.

“First of all, we didn’t know the mirror had a magic crystal,” said Kuroki. “And, even if we had known, we wouldn’t have tried to take it out ourselves. That's just begging to be caught.”

“And, if we wanted to break the mirror, we probably would have just punched it,” added Enma.

“... that’s a good point,” said Azul.

“But is it, perhaps, too good of a point?” Crowley asked.

The Yuus’ eyes flicked to him in utter disdain. Even Ito was giving him some intense side-eye.

“You can tell we’re not lying,” Ito said, flatly. “Don’t blame us for whatever’s going on here, we didn’t do it.”

“I do think I know what happened, though,” Enma said. “So, if you want to bargain, I’m willing to hear you out.”

[ye-local-simp]

Can I request Diasomnia finding Yuu in the library searching for any books that are familiar to the ones they had in their home land and coming up short?

[Diasomnia finding Yuu in the Library]

Malleus:

Lilia:

- Malleus loves to hang out in the library since it is quiet and mostly desolate, so it wasn't a surprise to see him hanging out there.

- But he was surprised to see you, he thought that by now, you would be hanging out with Ace, Deuce and Grim.

-Not like he minds, he actually really likes your company anyways.

-When you tell him that you are finding stories that are similar to your homeland.

-He tells you that if you managed to find one, you two can read it together, and he can listen to your reading voice forever.

Silver:

-He was only looking for Malleus but he found you on the ladder and he found that this was his chance to really scare.

-And so he does, his upside down face appears out of nowhere, almost knocking you off the ladder, but don't worry, he will use magic to ensure you do not lose balance.

- Lilia only casually asks what you are doing and when you tell him that you are finding stories that are similar to your homeworld, he gets excited.

-He is an ancient fae so he had heard so many stories, if not maybe even all.

-So hearing new ones makes him very enthusiastic so when he listens to you speak, he is literally all ears.

Sebek:

-Silver was only there because he knew that the librarian would probably wake him up, plus it was safer since NRC is the NRC.

-But he sees you searching for something so naturally he wants to know what that is about.

-When you tell him that you are looking for stories, he is curious.

-What's so different about the stories here and in your home?

-When you find a book that is a lot like the stories from your home.

-You read it to him while he sits next to you.

-Unfortunately though, you only made him fall asleep faster than let him use his imagination.

- He was probably looking for Malleus but he sees you instead.

-You are a close friend of Malleus, may be you would know or at least know where Lilia went.

-But he was curious why you were looking so hard in the stories and history section, he thought that he might have forgotten homework.

-He needed to ask, but of course his tone startled you.

-When you explained that what you are looking for doesn't even have anything to do with school, he is intrigued.

-Is this a form of improving yourself.

-when you tell him about the stories of your home, he wants to to hear more stories, even though he won't even admit it.

-Even though the protagonists or even antagonists sound extremely powerful, they can never compare to Malleus-sama.

evelyn's to-do list!

HIIII im writing my to-do list for real!!! this will consist of all my oc/au/series/story/etc ideas and will constantly be updated as i start finishing things up and coming up with new ideas! FEEL FREE TO DISCUSS ANY OF THESE W/ ME I'D BE HAPPY TO TALK ABT THEM cw for: death, alcohol, addiction, rabies

Stories/Series Concepts:

╰┈➤ NRC School Myths: A series of stories about school myths at Night Raven College, their origins, and truths, told in second-person point of view where you are Yuu. A mystery/drama/horror series, a bit similar to Jibaku Shounen Hanako Kun. ⊹₊ ⋆╰┈┈➤ 1. The Ghosts of the Woods: In 1953, two best friends of the Ramshackle Dorm, one human and one dog beastman, have a falling out in the midst of november of their second year. The dog beastman contracted rabies from a bat while on a walk, his behavior escalating in aggression in the coming days. In their most explosive argument in the woods behind NRC, the dog beastman bit the human. In a moment of clarity, the dog beastman cried out in remorse, and the two wept as they held their final converastion. They both died in the woods that day. With a story told through the form of tall tales and dusty photographs in the attic of Ramshackle, it's up to Yuu to find out what really happened all those years ago. ╰┈➤ Whalefall (also an AU kinda): In which whales have magic imbued in them, and the eradication of them on earth through whaling begins to cause environmental catastrophy. When Yuuki, a young girl who was adopted into a family living in a coastal town, gets suddenly transported to Twisted Wonderland, she begins to learn that she's not as normal as she thinks— and not as human either. With the help of the Octotrio and some other mer at NRC, Yuuki finds out exactly what she is, and exactly why her home-world is doomed. A mystery/drama series. ╰┈➤ Bent on Bitterness: In which an NRC professor and the RSA librarian find companionship in each other through a shared love (read: addiction) of alcohol, first finding each other in a dingy bar in the port town of Sage Island. A bittersweet (unrequited?) romance series.

OCs:

╰┈➤ Salmon/Tuna Mermaids: Inspired by that one drawing: a salmon mermaid and a tuna mermaid who fall in love with each other, just to be ripped apart by the salmon mermaid's nature.

╰┈➤ Parapuzosia Seppenradensis Merman: A merman of an ancient, now extinct species of Nautilus. Cursed all the way back in the age of gods, he wakes up in modern-day Twisted Wonderland, having to face the fact that he is the last left of not only his family, but his entire species.

╰┈➤ Eastern Red Bat Beastman: i just wanted to make another cute dessert oc LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

╰┈➤ Mosquito Vampire Fairy: A diurnal fairy (the small kind) that "works" (read: messes around) inside the botanical gardens at NRC. Mischevious and sarcastic, she's Aprilla Belrose's rival and eventual love interest.

AUs:

╰┈➤ TWST Kuutei Dragons AU (with Evleo!!): Based on the manga 'Kuutei Dragons' or 'Drifting Dragons,' a crew of drakers (dragon hunters) take to the skies in their air ship, explore the world, and make some delicious food. At the center of this story is the Night Raven Draking ship, captained by run-away prince Leona Kingscholar and sponsored and named after Night Raven University. Evelyn, newly-graduated from NRU and a dragon biologist, joins the crew of the Night Raven Draking Ship after Crowley, headmaster of NCU, finally gets off his ass for once and does something productive, reccomending her to Leona. This AU will be open to other peoples OCs!! It will also include every single TWST character possible!

thats all for now!! going to update this whenever i need to

Round 1, Match 2: Flynn Carsen and Eve Baird vs. Keishin Ukai

Submitted kids:

Flynn Carsen and Eve Baird: Jake Stone, Cassandra Cillian, Ezekiel Jones

Keishin Ukai: Shouyou Hinata, Tobio Kageyama, Tadashi Yamaguchi, Kei Tsukishima, Hitoka Yachi, Chikara Ennoshita, Kazuhito Narita, Hisashi Kinoshita, Yuu Nishinoya, Ryuunosuke Tanaka, Asahi Azumane, Koushi Sugawara, Kiyoko Shimizu, Daichi Sawamura

Propaganda under the cut!

Flynn Carsen and Eve Baird:

Flynn is the Librarian, a genius in charge of protecting the world from magic. Eve Baird is assigned to be his Guardian, a combination of brawn and common sense to keep his feet on the ground. As it turns out, she spends most of her time corralling the junior Librarians--Jake, Cass, and Ezekiel.

--One time Eve and Flynn have a 'fake' argument to distract airport security and it turns into a real argument about how he's always leaving her alone with 'the kids'

Keishin Ukai:

One day ur a lonely 20-something working at the local corner store, the next ur a single dad and rookie coach to 14 wayward teenagers.

[honeyhonest]

I really wish with all my heart for a Royal Sword Academy arc, and for the staff counterparts to exist. I can imagine the teachers laughing or feeling sorry for Crowley when they see him fighting Ambrose, saying that he looks like a tantrum-throwing child, but as soon as they see, idk, twst!Fairy Godmother or twst!Adam, they'd start acting like Crowley without realizing it.

can't believe I'm about to say this about a d*sney product, but I really hope we get more. if there was a book 9, I would want it to be about rsa. it makes sense!! unlike noble bell college, their story hasn't been told, we don't really know anything about it. are there dorms? and based on whom? what are the teachers like? and their spelldrive team? I want to KNOWW. I want a che'nya and neige card also :') and a prince rielle reveal

if it mirrored nrc staff nicely (not that it would but if it did), then we could get twisted!belle as a librarian, twisted!tiana as the school cook or proprietor or something, etc etc. maybe a twisted!arthur who's in yuu's place as the headmage's ward (which makes sense, narratively, since arthur was a squire in the movie) just for fun. I don't know I JUST WANT MORE LORE

[meltedbluecaterpillar]

I was wondering, would your TWST OC be based on the caterpillar?

Hello, Maru. I want to draw it out… Eventually… But I think the blue caterpillar would be a librarian who assists in the students checking out books and returning them. Smoking breaks with the other teachers… It sounds pleasant.

I have only seen one blue caterpillar OC I think… Or the OC was a mix of different characters, including the blue caterpillar. I wish the character was a bit more popular. He was always my favorite since I’ve seen the movies and even when I read the book. I have not decided on a gender… Which is why I struggle.

I have a chimera body, that takes many shapes and forms. So it has become difficult to settle in a box. I could easily change the OC anytime… But that also means I have to draw it… I am… Lazy.

I do have TWST OCs I usually post on Twitter or not at all. Davey Jones, Tigger, Mad Madame Mim, Lotso Huggin Bear, my Twst Yuu… Some of them I haven’t posted at all. But… I just feel shy about drawing sometimes. Lately I’ve been drawing my self ship for another fandom… I will share my OCs some time… Maybe…

[nem0-nee]

It is I yuus-sentient-teddy

Firstly, I really can't wait to see where The Twitcher's Column goes! There's mystery (OHHHH MY GOD I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT MISS WARDEN MEANT BY HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF AND WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JOURNALISM CLUB)! The myserious librarian! And TMA influence (I just finished #80, I am slowly getting there ;w;)!

Secondly, I've been thinking about this after reading Miss Warden's UM description. Would she be able to look through the eyes of, say, a stuffed animal? 👀

Heya once again!! Glad to see a familiar face >:DD

I'm just as excited as you when it comes to the column!! Still working out some things here and there lore-wise, but we're getting there?! As much as I'd love to tell you more, all I can say is that you'll just have to wait and see 😉 

Best of luck with TMA... Seeing that you just finished S2... I hope you're ready for the remaining 3 seasons ;v;

Buuut to now finally get to your question, that's a fantastic question to ask. Eliza can definitely use her UM through the plastic beady eyes of toys. An eye is an eye after all? Though I suppose the difficulty comes through whether that stuffed animal is inanimate or not...

Let's just say our dear librarian here gets motion sickness if the eye she's looking through is "in motion." It's basically like trying to watch a shaky video, which can be quite difficult 💀

Anyway, thank you for stopping by with this ask, it was a pleasure to read and think through :D

[leaderpinhead]

Riddle - Height Differences

Riddle hummed. As much as he loathed to admit it, this particular…conundrum was beyond his expertise. “It would seem we are in need of the librarian.” 

Yuu hummed along with him. Grim voiced a loud yawn at their knees. “You can’t use magic to get the book?” 

“Normally, I would,” Riddle admitted, “but the rules specifically prohibit the use of magic in this section. Some of the books are so old, using magic could potentially disintegrate the pages.” 

Yuu hummed again. Riddle sighed. “Wait just a moment. I’ll return with the librarian.” 

“But we’re nearly at the back of the library.” 

“Better we not risk injury attempting to climb the shelves,” Riddle argued. “I’ve seen plenty of other students think they were capable of retrieving a book themselves and suffer the consequences. I’ll only be a moment.” 

“Don’t worry about it.” Grim yowled when Yuu lifted him off the ground. “Fetch, Grim.” 

Grim aggressively kicked his legs. “What do you think I am! Some kinda arm extension?” 

Yuu lifted Grim higher, letting the monster cat balance on the palm of his hands. “Hush and grab that book already.” 

Grim grumbled but snatched the book from the shelf. Still balancing on Yuu’s hands, Grim dropped the book into Riddle’s waiting hands. The feline monster huffed and propped his paws on his hips. “There. Is there anything else you need while I'm up here?” 

Riddle hummed, tucking the book under one arm. “Actually, if you don’t mind, could you please retrieve the fifth volume of War in the Queendom of Roses?” 

“That almanac right there looks pretty promising too.” 

“Perhaps you could also—.” 

“How many paws do you two think I have!” Riddle and Yuu both shushed Grim for being so loud. He grumbled some more and snatched up the books they pointed at. Riddle glared when the monster recklessly tossed the books down at him. “Here! Take your books. Now, put me down!” 

Yuu didn’t place Grim back on the ground, but instead transferred him to ride on his shoulders. Grim huffed but didn’t seem to mind riding on the prefect’s shoulders, draping across the top of his head like a hood. Riddle handed over half the books when Yuu offered to help carry them. 

He eyed Grim while they walked back towards the front of the library. “Despite his disgruntlement, Grim seemed fairly easy to convince into cooperating. If you don't’ mind me asking, how often have you two done that?” 

“Done what?” Yuu asked. He patted one of Grim’s back paws, which Grim twitched with a rumbling protest. “Used Grim as an arm extender?” 

“For lack of any other description, yes.” 

“We do it all the time.” Yuu’s casual response made Riddle blink. “I’m not exactly the tallest person on campus, and I don’t have magic to levitate things to me.” 

“And that’s not...” Riddle briefly paused. “That doesn’t bother you?” 

“I really envy you guys sometimes, but I’ve come to accept my non-magic existence.” 

“Not that,” Riddle insisted. His fingers restlessly tapped against the book spines. “Being...vertically challenged.” 

Yuu shook his head. “I don’t have a problem with being short. It’s inconvenient sometimes, but there’s always a solution to whatever issue I'm facing. Why do you think I've trained Grim to fetch things from high shelves?” 

“You better give me an extra can of tuna later,” Grim chimed in. He batted a paw against Yuu’s forehead. “I don’t do all this for free, you know.” 

Riddle’s eyes flicked up to the top of the shelves they passed. As they ventured closer to the front, more books began levitating off the higher shelves and traveling along with them, summoned to the front counter by the librarian. His eyes slowly drifted back to Yuu. “So you use your height as a means to practice critical thinking.” 

Yuu’s shoulders bobbed, making Grim jump. “I guess so? I’ve never really thought of it that way. I just do whatever I need to keep moving forward.” 

Riddle hummed. "An interesting perspective. Perhaps I should be more proactive in similar situations. My returning to the front desk, retrieving the librarian, and returning to you would have wasted valuable study time.” 

“I would have thought you already did that.” 

Riddle stopped mid-step. Yuu took a few more steps before recognizing he had stopped. The prefect half turned back to him. Riddle felt his face grow hotter. “What exactly do you mean by that?” 

Yuu tilted his head, making Grim tilt sideways with him. “Well, I mean, you’re short too.” 

Riddle’s face grew even hotter. His fingers gripped the books tightly. “And do you think that makes me incapable of performing to the same standards as taller individuals?" 

“Uh.” Yuu’s eyebrows shot up his forehead. “No?” 

“Then why would you even bring it up?” 

“Because I think you’re smarter than me?” Yuu held up his hands in surrender. “We’re in the same boat here, Riddle. I’d like to think if it came to sink or swim, we’d patch up the boat first and make it to land.” 

Just as quickly as the heat had infused his cheeks, it dissipated. Riddle blinked as he processed Yuu’s words. “I suppose you are right. Forgive me for being so reactionary.” 

“It’s cool.” Yuu dropped his hands. He waited for Riddle to catch up to him, and Riddle couldn’t help a momentary wave of embarrassment. “I can get where you’re coming from. Most students like to go after the fact that I have no magic, but I've had a few comment on my height. Floyd literally calls me a shrimp.” 

Riddle huffed, but he couldn’t help feeling a stronger kinship with the prefect on the topic of Floyd’s theatrics. “If he ever gives you a difficult time, don’t hesitate to seek me out. I have plenty of experience handling Floyd at this point.” 

“Thanks, but I think I'm good.” Yuu shot him a grin. “If he gets too persistent, I just point out every time he smacks his head against the top of a doorframe.” 

Yuu’s teasing shouldn’t have been so amusing, but it made Riddle laugh loud enough to earn his own shush from a nearby study group.

School Festival ☆ Tamayori’s Haunted Dollhouse - Chapter 2

Location: Secret Room (Yumenosaki) Characters: Sora, Natsume & Tsumugi

Sora: HaHa~♪ Knock, knock ♪ Sora will knock on the door before entering!

HiHi~♪ Master~ are you there? Please answer Sora if you are~

Tsumugi: Oh, Sora-kun. Hello~♪

Sora: HuHu~♪ Hello, Senpai! Sora will return the greeting when greeted ♪ 

Umm, where’s Master~? Is it just you, Senpai?

Tsumugi: Yes, Natsume-kun isn’t here yet. The “Secret Room” is something like his own private room, so I’m worried he’ll be in a bad mood when he comes back.

Sora: HeHe~ Come to think of it, why is Senpai here?

Tsumugi: I was organising the underground archive as it’s part of what a student librarian does. I thought I could check in on Natsume-kun while I’m at it, so I peeked into the “Secret Room”.

But I couldn’t find Natsume-kun inside… I figured he might be doing an experiment further in, but the moment I stepped foot inside, you came along, Sora-kun.

You have something you wanted to talk to Natsume-kun about, right? If you don’t mind sharing with me, I’ll be happy to lend an ear.

Sora: Thank you very much! Actually, Sora met Yuu-chan and Hina-chan and we were talking about the “School Festival”!

They asked if “Switch” will be taking part… So, Sora came to ask Master~ if we are or not!

Tsumugi: Hmm~ I can’t say anything since I haven’t asked Natsume-kun about it, but I’ve never heard him bring up the topic of the “School Festival” before.

The festival is almost here as well. Perhaps he has no intentions of taking part.

Well, it’ll be my last “School Festival”, so it would be nice if I could make nice memories with everyone~

If I said that to him, he’d probably say to me, “We’re taking part just for you to make nice memories, Senpai?”.

I would also feel bad dragging everyone in to fulfil my selfish wish. 

Besides, if I’m not taking part, I can walk around and see what my friends are doing for the festival and make memories that way.

Sora: Senpai is an important comrade~ Please don’t feel bad dragging us into fulfilling your wish!

No, it’s because you’re our comrade! Sora wants you to involve us more~♪

Sora wants to take part in the “School Festival” more than anything! Sora wants to make nice memories with Master~, Senpai and everyone else…☆

Tsumugi: Sora-kun… There, there, you truly are a kind child.

I’m sure Natsume-kun would simply say no if I were to ask him, though. But if you were the one asking him, he probably won’t turn your request down, Sora-kun.

Sora: HoHo~♪ Then, Sora will ask Master~!

Natsume: Good Afternoon ♪

Sora: Ah, Master~! Perfect timing! Sora has a request for Master~♪

Natsume: HmM, what sort of requeST? If it’s a request from yOU, I’ll grant it to the best of my capabilitiES.

Sora: Umm, Sora was talking about the “School Festival” with Hina-chan and Yuu-chan just before!

We want to take part in the “School Festival”! Is “Switch” going to be in the “School Festival”?

Natsume: No, I hadn’t intended on taking part in the “School Festival”, so I didn’t submit an applicatiON.

Sora: Master~ We can’t take part? Sora wants to take part in the “School Festival” and make lots of fun memories with Master~, Senpai and everyone else~♪

Natsume: HmM… It’s somewhat difficult since it’s right before the “School Festival”, buT it’s a request from none other thAN Sora.

The Student Council has told me I need to submit a report on our activitiES and I had to think about our achievements within the school as weLL.

…AlrigHT, let’s take part in tHE “School Festival”.

Sora: Really? Yaaay, now Senpai can make good memories! HaHiHuHeHo~♪

Natsume: AhaHA. You’re so adorable jumping about like thAT ♪

Tsumugi: You’re going to make nice memories with us too, I see~ I’m moved by your kindness, Natsume-kun~♪

Natsume: ………… *Punches Tsumugi in the stomach*

Tsumugi: Ow!? W-Why did you hit me in the stomach? No violence, please~!

Natsume: It’s your fault because you said something unpleasaNT, Senpai.

Tsumugi: Huh!? What was unpleasant? I just thought you were kind. As I thought, young people are so hard to understand!

Natsume: AnywAY, I don’t want to waste any more time speaking with yOU. If we’re going to be taking part in the “School Festival”, we have to decide what we’ll be doing for iT.

Tsumugi: You’re right~ Food stalls are quite popular, so the other units may have already applied to do that.

Natsume: The cost of food in food stalls is loW, so it’s easy to make a profIT.

If we’re ignoring profit, then it’ll be a live performanCE, but I’m sure most of the other units would have also applied for thAT.

Tsumugi: We won’t know unless we check with the Student Council.

There weren’t any idol-like performances or booths during the “eve of the school festival”, so there must be a lot of units who will be doing a performance for the “School Festival”.

Hmm~ Speaking of standard things for the “School Festival”, how about a play?

Natsume: I have a feeling the Drama Club or the drama course will be putting a lot of effort into theiRS.

We could hold a gaming experience corner from the Gaming Club, bUT then that will just feel like we’re having people try out the clUB…

Sora: Come to think of it, Hina-chan and Yuu-chan said they wanted to do a haunted house! But they also said they didn’t have enough people~

Natsume: A haunted house? AaH, it’s a standard thing for school festivals, so that might be good toO. BuT, we’d also be understaffED…

HmM. We could keep thinking of what to do for the school festival, bUT it might be a good idea to check with the Student Council if any of the ideas are already takEN.

Tsumugi: I can go and check with them, then.

Natsume: AlrigHT. ThanKS, Senpai.

Tsumugi: No worries. I’ll head over now so please be good and wait here~♪

[77ngiez-archive]

poggers letsgo! under the cut cuz wowie its long. fair warning that atp my only frame of reference was v3 so i didnt know the typical beats of dgr, hence why its rather. wack.

so basically it was meant to be season 54 of danganronpa. the protag was yowane haku & she was the ultimate murder mystery novelist. she had a bunch of self-doubt & imposter syndrome and stuff, but everybody kinda shoved the detective role onto her since she was the closest they had. in trials, she mostly worked with zhiyu moke, the ultimate otaku. character list incoming

haku yowane, ult murder mystery novelist stardust, ult lucid dreamer moke zhiyu, ult otaku eleanor forte, ult librarian oliver, ult con artist fukase, ultimate fashion designer mei honoka, ult florist tei sukone, ult idol (was miku in the first few iterations) yao mu, ult "tattoo artist" (crime boss) yohio - ult miniature soap maker rook, ult dog trainer shian, ult student council president leon, ult actor yuu, ult babysitter luka megurine, ult violinist mikoto meika, ult filmmaker

prologue: haku woke up and met everybody, kg was explained, etc. chapter one: in the dining hall an argument broke down due to shian bringing up her theory that there was an imposter mastermind among them. right before nighttime monokuma offered the first blood perk. the next day they all woke up, but leon wasnt there! hes dead lol, and eleanor was the killer. chapter two: everybody is in fucking chaos, so shian stepped up and created the student council as a way to maintain control. she makes a nighttime rule. then motive videos happen, shian gets paranoid abt a murder. bda, mei is dead in the dining hall. mikoto did it (hime was in their motive video). chapter three: shian was super paranoid until yohio cheered her up with a pep talk. haku confronts yao about her talent (she knows bcs she got her motive video). tei is acting off, bda at midnight, hio gets punished (he committed suicide, so instead of an execution his body got desecrated). oliver reveals yao’s real talent. chapter four: shian ended up getting strengthened by hios death. tei is acting unstable. haku and moke set up video cameras from the warehouse around the school. bda, yao dead, tei killer (haku doesnt speak during the wntire trial [i forgor to mention but her and tei r cousins]). chapter five: luka reassures haku, who tries to toughen up for shian’s sake. new motive. her and shian sleep together that night (literally, not sex). bda, rook is dead and moke is the killer. chapter six: haku’s toughened up from moke’s death, she decides to uncover the mastermind. but before she can, bda. stardust and yuu are dead, and oliver is the killer. chapter seven (like i said, i didnt know the typical rules lmao): haku, dhian, and fukase figure out that lukas the mastermind. they confront her in the kitchen and begin interrogating her. soon the interrogation turns into a straightup knifefight between luka and fukase. fukase stabs her and she admits to being the mastermind, but she gets him fatally as well. haku and shian move fukase out of the kitchen, and stay beside him until he breathes his last breath. epilogue: team dr comes to clean up the mess, and tell haku and shian the trutj. they hold funerals for everybody, except luka.

IT WAS REALLY DEPRESSING LMAO. i also had a postgame au where they met the v3 survivors

does anybody want to hear about my old vocaloid fangan that i made before knowing what a fangan was immediately after finishing v3 and not having watched any of the other games because i was a dumb bitch
