Hi! You can answer this whenever you like ^^
I want to ask if you could also make more scenarios for characters, other than Ace, having a mishap in Ramshackle’s weirdness (with ???!Yuu maybe coming to the rescue or not)
You could do the rest of the first years or the characters you think would have interesting interactions with the rules/creatures in Ramshackle ٩(^o^)۶
???!Yuu [ft. The First Years]
Ace Trappola and the 20-sided Dice
He found this peculiar little dice when he was walking around Ramshackle, looking for the Red Door again.
He was just really curious about the different versions of the Yuus that he saw from behind the Red Door and wanted to take a closer look.
No, not of them taking a bath! No!
He just wanted to talk to them and all that, alright?!
He was pretty sure he saw a Yuu that looked like Malleus Draconia so he was wondering what was up with that.
But Yuu didn’t help them find the door so now he was left with his own devices.
It didn’t take him long to find a room he was unfamiliar with and in the middle of the room was a glass case with a dice propped on top of a fancy pillow inside of it.
It was pretty easy to take and Ace assumed it was somewhat safe since Ramshackle didn’t do anything to stop him from taking it.
Ace looked at the dice, trying to see what kind of abilities it had since there was no way this thing was just a normal dice especially when he found it inside Ramshackle.
He turned it over with one hand before releasing it down to the floor and watching as it landed on the number 20.
The redhead waited patiently and looked around to see if there was anything dangerous coming after him.
When he saw nothing, he shrugged and pocketed the dice and resolved to ask what was the dice’s purpose when he sees Yuu later.
Though oddly enough, throughout the day he seemed to find himself eerily… lucky?
There was a surprise pop quiz in class but that got canceled right as they were about to take it, his class got dismissed early so he was able to buy the delicious limited edition bread that was usually always sold out by the time he arrived in the cafeteria, and he even single-handedly carried his team in basketball practice earlier!
It was as if luck was on his side!
Of course Ace, the sharp man he was, immediately realized it was because of the dice’s influence.
He immediately verified this to Yuu but when the Ramshackle prefect heard that they had used the die, they gave him a pitiful look while Grim looked at him with an expression that said ‘are you stupid?’.
Ace: “W…What? Why are you looking at me like I’m a dead man? Shit, don’t tell me this dice is going to take my lifespan away?!”
Yuu: “Not your lifespan, per se… Also, it doesn’t take anything away. Eh, but you might want to buy yourself protective gears and be alert for tomorrow. You know what, it’s better if you don’t go to school tomorrow.”
Ace: “Oi…! What’s going to happen?!”
Grim: “Nyahaha! You’re gonna be extremely unlucky tomorrow! What a stupid human! Why would you use something you found in Ramshackle?”
Yuu: “...Didn’t you also–”
Grim: “THE GREAT GRIM DID NOT!”
Suffice to say, Ace had a really bad time the next day. He was forced to go to school because Riddle caught him trying to skip classes and collared him. And for some reason, things were falling from the sky out of nowhere and hitting him square in the head but good thing he had a helmet on or else he’d already have a concussion over his concussion. There were also surprise quizzes on his classes for topics he didn’t study for, ALL his classes! Even PE! Worst part was, he couldn’t do anything to stop this because he had to wait the whole day out!
The 20-sided Dice: Yes, it’s the DnD dice. Ultimately, it’s harmless when it’s not used. The higher the number one gets, the luckier they become. However, it’s not without its drawbacks because just as how lucky one may get, the more unlucky they become the next day. It’s like having a predetermined amount of luck assigned to you every day and other days ahead. The dice siphons your luck from tomorrow so you can use it at the present time but that means that tomorrow, you’re significantly less luckier. Normally it wouldn’t be noticeable but the higher the number someone gets, the more luck the dice takes from an individual’s tomorrow. It’s just unfortunate that Ace rolled a 20. Heh.
Deuce Spade and the Children’s Show
This happened earlier when he still didn’t know much of the true dangers in Ramshackle.
Although this man sometimes has small brain moments, he knows how to assess danger.
Sometimes, anyway. Because really, remember the Dwarf’s Mine? He really tried to try his luck and play russian roulette with the blot monster just to get a magic stone.
Anyway, this sense of danger mostly only applied to direct physical threats.
So stumbling into Ramshackle’s Lounge and seeing the television was on, he thought nothing of it.
He assumed Yuu bought a new TV to entertain themselves.
There didn’t seem to be anything much to do in Ramshackle aside from trying to escape with your life so he gets why Yuu would get a television.
Even if the television switched to a scene of a well with S*dako crawling out of it, Deuce was fairly confident in his ability to fight.
He decided to look and see what the show the television was showing and it was actually a children’s show!
Unfortunately there wasn’t a remote anywhere and the television oddly didn’t have buttons to change the channel so he had no choice but to watch the children’s show that was kind of similar to D*ra the Explorer.
When the cartoon character asked the viewers a question, Deuce would jokingly answer it, not knowing the entity he was luring in.
He didn’t find anything wrong until the television screen showed a cartoonized version of Ramshackle far in the distance.
That was when Deuce began to feel that something was wrong. He tried to look for the TV’s power plug, only to find that it didn’t have any.
Finally realizing that this thing was an unknown entity, Deuce panicked and began talking to himself on what he should do and inadvertently giving indirect answers to it.
The cartoon character got closer and closer to Ramshackle with each scene, its face becoming more distorted and demented the more it got closer.
That was when Deuce realized that the show’s scene would change if he answered the character’s questions.
Even joke answers, or any answer for that matter, counted.
So he closed his mouth shut before he could make anything worse for him but at this point it was already too late.
The character had already arrived at the cartoon version of Ramshackle’s front door.
They knocked on the door in the television, asking to be let in, and Deuce heard a series of knocks on Ramshackle’s front door in real life.
It had already arrived…
That was when a ball of flame suddenly headed towards the television and engulfed it in flames.
Deuce heard a high pitched shriek come from the outside as the cartoon character in the television show caught fire and screamed in agony.
He looked at the direction to where the ball of flame came from and saw a grumpy-looking Grim by the doorway.
“Fgnah! You almost tried to invite that thing inside! Be glad I was here before anything could happen!”
The Children’s Show: Yeah, it’s pretty much Am*nda the Adventurer except it’s a television show. Gotta love me some horror and children tropes. Anyway, no one knows the entity’s true form since they hide it behind the cutesy cartoon character in the television. Any type of answers given whenever the cartoon character addresses the viewers counts and it will continue to the next scene. That’s why staying silent is the best option but that doesn’t mean the cartoon character will let this slip by. When they inevitably realize that you find out their true purpose, they won’t hesitate to pull the punches. They’ll use any means to make you answer, whether by taunting you and picking on your insecurities or even creating a cartoon version of your loved ones getting hurt and screaming in pain. The only way to neutralize this entity is to destroy the television. It doesn’t mean it’s gone, just neutralized. It will be back again later with a different cartoon character…
Jack Howl and the… Thing?
He has a good head on his shoulders so he knew not to touch anything in Ramshackle or go into rooms he had never seen before.
Though, just because he’s careful doesn’t really stop the dangers from seeking him instead.
Unlucky for him, it seems that a murderous entity got impatient and forcefully took over control of Ramshackle's layout to trap Jack in a room with it.
Of course, such a crude way of taking control of Ramshackle’s layout definitely wouldn’t escape Yuu’s notice but it seems this entity was betting everything on its life that it would be able to harm Jack before either Yuu or Ramshackle could intervene and bring him out of danger.
Jack couldn’t do a thing but try to evade this… thing, whatever it was… since the door that he had just closed by itself and couldn’t be opened.
Then the room began to expand as Jack turned around to see whatever had just trapped him in the room.
The entity was a monstrous thing. It was disgusting to look at and even more disgusting to smell.
Even when Jack had a bit of distance from it, he could still smell the coppery smell of blood emanating from it.
The thing looked fleshy and had a lot of eyes of different colors and twitching limbs poking out of its body.
Its flesh seemed to be made of human skin, if the vague shapes and figures of human faces stretched on the surface was anything to go by.
Jack had an ominous conjecture that those limbs and eyes came from the thing’s previous victim and he definitely didn’t want his face to be on there, no thank you.
So Jack did the best thing to do in a situation like this – Run away because he was sure as long as he could get out of this entity’s territory then it wouldn’t be able to chase after him anymore.
The only problem was that despite the entity looking all stout and plump from all the flesh it assimilated, it was still able to almost catch up to him!
Just as the entity was closing the gap between them, a wood beam suddenly burst out of the floor and hit the entity, throwing it out of Jack’s path as it hit the wall.
The door that was locked earlier opened and Jack could see that Yuu was holding the door open while reaching their hand out to him, screaming for him to take their hand.
It seemed that Yuu was struggling to force the door open, which was quite understandable since the entity didn’t want its prey to escape and they were technically playing a game of tug of war with the territory.
Still, looking over his shoulder, Jack could see more wooden beams bursting out from the walls, the floor, and the ceiling as it kept hitting the entity and breaking its momentum from catching up with Jack. This was the first time he had seen Ramshackle at work.
More beams burst out from the walls and created a barrier between the entity and Jack and Yuu.
Finally, Jack could reach out to Yuu and take their hand as he was pulled to safety. The door closed behind him and it disappeared from view.
“I… huff… I’m so sorry…” Yuu panted, leaning on the wall. “We’ll make sure it… wheeze… won’t be able to… haa… to cause trouble ever again…”
“That’s… huff… great.” Jack replied, also out of breath.
The Thing: A malevolent entity obsessed with assimilating creatures into it. With the amount of mass it’s gained, it must have hunted in Ramshackle for a long, long time now. It actually has a second form where its flesh around its ‘stomach’ area splits open to show the seemingly alive and screaming heads of the previous victims still being digested and assimilated. Current status: pending elimination. :)
Epel Felmier and the Statue Room
Ah, the statue room.
It’s a relatively harmless room. Relatively harmless unless the entities find you interesting enough to be a part of them, that is.
And that’s what exactly Epel is to them – a potential candidate for their ‘eternal paradise’.
He first stumbled upon the room when they were staying at Ramshackle for VDC practice.
At first he was curious about the statues that he was seeing littered all around Ramshackle when he and the rest of the NRC Tribe were moving in.
The statues were very detailed, like Greek sculptures.
Yuu seemed to have a strained expression on their face as they said, “Ah… Don’t mind them. They shouldn’t be out and about, trying to… recruit… new potentials for their cause.”
Yuu said it loudly, as if purposely trying to let the statues hear their words.
The next day, the statues were still scattered around Ramshackle but this time their positions and poses changed. Additionally most of them were now inside of Ramshackle.
It was creepy but since Yuu reassured them that the statues were mostly harmless, it was no problem.
That was until Epel woke up in the middle of the night with a parched throat so he got up to get himself a glass of water.
As he opened the door, he was met with a statue pointing down the hallway.
It would be a lie if he said he wasn’t jumpscared to be met face-to-face with the statue but it would also be a lie if he said he wasn’t curious at what it was pointing at.
So he followed the direction down the hall where he saw another statue that was pointing down another hallway.
Realizing that the statues were actually leading him somewhere, he followed the directions they were leading him to and landed himself in the Statue Room.
Unlike the statues scattered outside, the ones inside the room were on pedestals that had plaques with description of the statue on it.
Not only that but the depictions of the statues in the room were much more gorey as opposed to those scattered outside.
The descriptions were all brief, something along the lines of: ‘Here lies Eveline, she who never stayed’, ‘Esmeralda, burned as a witch’, ‘L is for Larry who bled and bleed’ and the like.
It didn’t need much description when the emotions the statues exhibited were already telling.
Despite it all, the statues managed to look somehow elegant and beautiful even if the faces the statues expressed were of sadness, anger, or agony.
It was like a museum exhibit in the room and Epel actually enjoyed looking around.
It was all fine until Epel’s sight landed on an empty pedestal. He got curious why that lone pedestal had no statue on it so he looked at the plaque to see the missing statue’s description but…
EPEL FELMIER - Join us.
“Aw hell naw!”
His peewpaw and meemaw ain’t gonna be visiting his statue-fied body if he can help it, thank you very much!
Just as he was about to book it, he found himself surrounded by the statues that were on the pedestals earlier.
And that was how the story of Epel fistfighting the statues in the statue room happened.
The Statue Room: Despite the name and how they look, the entities inside of it weren’t really statues but they definitely act like one. They love passion, beauty, and eternity. They were once humans who wanted to stay as they were for eternity that they were willing to freeze themselves in time forever, whether they were on the brink of death or not. Now they’re just ‘statues’. Although not aggressive or hostile, it was best to stay away from them since they were persistent if they wanted to. It’s more of an minor annoyance for Yuu when they decide to break out of their assigned territory to scout for new people to join them. Still, they were ultimately harmless since the only way for them to successfully recruit people was if those people themselves willingly wanted to be a part of the Statue Room.
Sebek Zigvolt and the Boundary
Sebek didn’t really have any reason to visit Ramshackle but he had heard plenty of the odd things that happened in it.
But as he slowly got integrated into Yuu’s group of friends which mostly consisted of first years, visiting Ramshackle became more and more frequent.
In turn, him encountering whatever logic-defying thing that happened in the weird dorm became more common.
Of course, a sleepover was going to happen one of these days and it did.
And of course, just as Sebek closed his eyes and decided to go to sleep, he suddenly jolted awake and found himself in a white void, surrounded by cloudy smoke that lazily drifted all around.
Sebek was pretty sure he wasn’t the type to sleep-walk so he assumed it was just the Ramshackle shenanigans acting up again.
Still, being in the unknown place didn’t shake him a bit. He knew he could get out of the place, though he didn’t know how exactly.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, a hand landed on his shoulder and Sebek was alarmed but he calmed down when he saw that it was just Yuu, although they seemed to be looking at something past him.
An outburst was bubbling on his throat but Sebek paused when he saw the look on Yuu’s face.
The pure and raw fear on Yuu’s face was concerning because if something can make Yuu that scared then whatever it was that scared them was very, very dangerous.
“Don’t…” Yuu said in a low voice, almost in a whisper, as they tugged Sebek back. “Don’t go there…”
Sebek let them, noticing the slight shaking of Yuu’s hand but he didn’t comment on it.
Yuu slid their hand down to Sebek’s own and intertwined their fingers as they began to walk backwards, Yuu never taking their eyes off what unseen things Sebek couldn’t see in front of them.
He didn’t say anything but he squeezed Yuu’s hand as a small reassurance to the Prefect.
Slowly, step by step, the surroundings transitioned to the wooden floor and moldy walls of Ramshackle and the two only stopped walking backwards when they couldn’t see the white expanse anymore.
Once they couldn’t see the white void, Yuu allowed themselves to collapse on their knees.
“Never,” They started as Sebek tried to help them up. “Never go past the boundary… please.”
The Boundary: It’s the boundary. Whatever happens outside of it is out of Ramshackle’s control. There are much more terrifying creatures outside than the ones within Ramshackle’s territory. More crueler, more inhumane. Had Sebek taken a step forward, Yuu wasn’t sure they would've been able to retrieve the half-fae’s body to mourn. Glad he didn’t, aye?

Let the poor man rest.
#also no he doesn't want to experience life as a normal person. no he wouldn't sacrifice his powers to live again.#he LOVED being powerful. he was very proud of his powers. he was at the top of the world. what he disliked was being so lonely at the top.#which having reunited with Geto now he is not.#and he wanted to keep the next generation safe due to his past regrets and teach a generation of kids to be at the top together.#and he wanted to get rid of the corrupt higher-ups and reform the Jujutsu society.#and he did all of that. Yuta and Yuuji are both alive and safe and the kids are all reunited with each other stronger than ever#and the higher-ups are d**d.#Gojo obviously wouldn't hate to keep living. he clearly didn't expect to lose and die. but as he himself confirmed#he died doing what he loved. he went out the way he wanted. he went out with a bang. he had the best fight of his life and gave it his all.#as he said 'he had fun'. he said it would have been embarrassing if he died of old age or sickness.#and now that he's gone he's happy with his friends and especially Geto. he found peace.#He said it himself 'Now i'm wishing that it's not just a dream'.#also for those of you who say that Geto & Gojo wouldn't be together because one would go to hell and one to heaven... no. just no.#first of all. Gojo did a mass m*r*** before his death#second of all. they're Buddhists. they don't have heaven and hell. don't bring Abrahamic religions into everything.#and you'd be surprised by the excuses the Abrahamic religions find to not let people in heaven.#probably Gojo wouldn't go to heaven even if he didn't kill the higher-ups due to...idk... occasionaly doing pranks or sth.#but Gege apparently created a whole other afterlife of his own. and Toji Geto Gojo Nanami and everyone were all gathered there together.#you SAW that. so stop.#jujutsu kaisen#jjk#gojo satoru#satoru gojo#jjk gojo#gege akutami#my two cents#satosugu

I have emotions! It’s not all abraca-fuck-you and what have you. I have a beating heart! I’m multi-dimensional! I’m a fully-realized creation! FUCK!
@vero-valzer as Taako the Wizard from The Adventure Zone
Realized Tumblr and its smol but rad and dedicated TAZ Fandom might be the right place to share my Taako cosplay that I'm proud of and really enjoy wearing. 🌂✨️💖
These pics span multiple years and multiple outings, featuring a few different iterations on this cosplay at this point—from conventions to Ren Faires.
It has filled my heart with glee every time I heard someone gasp and go, "Is that Taako? From T.V.?!" which gave me the opportunity to spin around and say, "Why, yeeeeeees~! ✨️" in my best Taako impression or give a tip-o'-the-hat and wave and get to see people's eyes light up and smiles spread across their faces. 💖
#it always surprises me that people recognize a cosplay of a character that's based in a podcast that officially ended years ago#maybe the graphic novels are helping keep it around and keep interest in the Balance arc alive?#i have a blast cosplaying Taako and get so excited when people realize who I'm cosplaying#gonna hand out plastic “jewelry box” macarons with lil star beads in 'em at some future Ren Faire when trading trinkets! Just you wait!!!#surprised at how many people recognized Taako and how many TAZ cosplayers i continue to see--especially at an anime-centric con this year?!#pleasant surprises all-around honestly#wearing Taako as a cosplay helps me feel a bit more confident and like I am allowed to be Just A Silly Lil Guy (within reason of course)#yeah i get the feeling he's going to continue to be a repeating cosplay for me. prob will continue to iterate on it (new pants--longer wig?#the adventure zone#TAZ#the adventure zone: balance#taz balance#TAZ taako#taako#taako taaco#taako cosplay#crossplay#TAZ cosplay#ren faire#Renaissance Faire#comic convention#anime convention#umbra staff#bureau of balance#Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire#Emerald City Comic Con#Sakura Con#Sakura-Con#my cosplay#vero-valzer cosplays

Shapeshifter!Yuu
I'm just here to mix-and-match different kinds of Yuus with different kinds of personalities to see what monstrosity I can make. That being said,,, Shapeshifter!Yuu brainrot!
Basically like Penny from The Amazing World of Gumball after she broke out of her shell (literally) after Gumball confessed to her, but in a bit of an uncanny valley sort of way (at first, that is).
So anyway, Yuu’s a shapeshifter but when they first arrived in Twisted Wonderland, their presence was basically nonexistent and they almost always blended into the background, if not for Grim who constantly brought attention to them.
To those who paid attention closely, they could tell there was something weird about Yuu.
They were almost eldritch-like, in an uncanny valley kind of way, like their body didn’t quite fit them but they were trying to force themselves to fit it even when it couldn’t.
Especially with the behaviors they exhibited, how their smiles seem a bit too forced and too wide to be considered normal, how often they blink their eyes a little too late, or how their chest slows to a stop as if they forgot how to breathe that people have to literally ask them if they’re still even alive.
They just seemed too much that it was like they were manually controlling every single thing in their body, from their nerves to their heartbeat, just to be seen as normal yet still somehow failing at it.
Sometimes, Grim has to stay awake at night and watch Yuu because he’s worried of how still and lifeless they look while sleeping, and the fact that their heartbeat slows down a little too much scares him.
But of course this doesn’t last long.
Being in Twisted Wonderland was too emotionally stimulating for them and it didn’t take long for them to snap.
It first happened with Riddle, when he overblotted.
Getting insulted and looked down on was the last straw for Yuu.
They stood in place, a smile frozen on their face as they stared at Riddle.
Then, the corner of their eyes twitched, their smile straining as their facade slowly broke.
But no one noticed this, not when everybody was too focused on Ace who was verbally challenging Riddle who was starting to show signs of blotting.
It was delayed, Yuu’s reaction that is.
From a very young age, they were told that their emotions were both a blessing and a curse.
That was why they were taught and encouraged by their family to conceal it as best as they could while they were still young.
Emotions were… complicated, so to say.
When a child from their family becomes too emotionally stimulated, it would often lead to destruction.
They were just too unstable and the elders in their family were worried that everyone would see them as monsters if they ever went out of control so they believed that it was for everyone’s best interest if they conceal, don’t feel (lmao, Elsa logic) as per their family’s tradition.
But of course not every family tradition was exactly the healthiest, and Yuu’s whole family has got to be the most emotionally constipated family there ever was in their world.
Being sent into an unknown world? Yes, that was scary, but Yuu had to control themselves and they tried their best not to burden others.
When they stood in front of the mirror that told them that their home didn’t exist, their nails sharpened under their robes (a self-defense reaction, unavoidable, really) but at least they stopped themselves right there and didn’t shift into something monstrous.
When they were left all alone in a rundown dorm, they had to force themselves to not breakdown and cry.
When they were threatened by Leona in the botanical garden, they held their form as normal as it could.
But they had always been tipping over the edge ever since they arrived in this unknown world.
Like a glass of water ready to spill or a dam ready to break.
They just had so many emotions but no idea how to show it.
However, faced with this– this! Being insulted and then getting attacked!
It was… unforgivable!
Unforgivableunforgivableunforgivableunforgivableunforgivableunforgivableunforgivableunforgivableunforgivable���!
Well anyway, basically both Riddle and Yuu had a mental breakdown at the same time and everyone got to see Yuu turn into this gargantuan creature and deck the overblot monster, that eerily held a resemblance to the Queen of Hearts, hovering behind Riddle while Trey and the others focused on trying to knock Riddle out.
Once it was over, Yuu seemingly disappeared out of nowhere.
Except, not really. They were still in the Rose Maze.
Yuu just turned into this very small, translucent blob that fit perfectly in Deuce’s palm.
Grim found them on the ground next to this black stone that smelled really delicious.
“Y-Yuu…? It’s you, right?” Deuce hesitantly asks in a low voice as he stares at Yuu’s small form, careful not to jostle them around too much. “Are you alright? Do you feel okay?”
“Oh no, I broke it…” Yuu doesn’t answer him and wails instead, voice small and squeaky.
“What broke? Are you hurt? Did you break your bones? Do you even have bones when you’re like this?” Ace chimed from Deuce’s side, relentlessly poking Yuu’s wispy form. Yuu just wails even louder.
They weren’t hurt, physically at least. They just felt very sad, guilty, and upset that they broke their promise with their family to not shapeshift.
But ever since the first time they shapeshifted, it felt as if a huge burden was taken off of their shoulders. They felt… lighter.
This doesn’t mean that they approved themselves suddenly shifting.
In fact, they still feel guilty every time they do it due to their upbringing but they’re finding it harder and harder to control.
It took them some time before they accepted that this part of them was normal, that it was normal to feel this way and they were just shapeshifting according to how they felt and that was fine.
Sure, there were some lingering feelings, especially fear because Yuu’s scared that what they were doing was wrong, that they were letting their family down.
There are days when they think that breaking free from their family’s teachings felt wonderful, and there are days when they just felt downright awful for not heeding their words.
Afterall, their family constantly taught from a very young age that they weren’t allowed to show their emotions so would it be really easy to get rid of such a teaching when they grew up?
No, it wasn’t, but at least they’re gradually learning.
For the meantime, Yuu’s very emotionally constipated, more so than the others who lived in Twisted Wonderland.
The first time Yuu met Malleus, they shifted into a rabbit because they got scared by the sounds of footsteps heading towards them in the middle of the night.
Malleus found this amusing, especially when Yuu shifted back to their normal form to show that they weren’t scared of Malleus.
And then the Diasomnia student proceeded to talk about gargoyles.
Every chapter arc probably has had Yuu shapeshift into a new form.
Each one is different and unique since there’s a lot of emotions that can mix together and form something new.
Yuu’s shapeshifting abilities aren't limited to what Penny can only transform into. They’re more flexible so there’s a lot of combinations possible they can shapeshift into.
Am I going to make a description of those transformations? Nnnnooo. Maybe some other time. It’s 3 am, it’s honestly surprising how my brain’s even still working at this point.
Anyway, Yuu in their normal human form starts to become less uncanny and more human the more they shapeshift since they’ve become less worried about controlling and maintaining their form so they look normal.
Their movements become more natural and their expressions more lively, so unlike before when they first stepped into Twisted Wonderland.
Also someone telling Yuu: “That’s not what you are. It’s just how you feel.”
And it’s most probably going to be Grim.
Smh smh, the boys failed to score some extra brownie points from Yuu, too bad for them.
Anyway, time to pass out, lmao.

funny how everyone seemed to adore Zack until he started having more screentime...
#it's honestly very surprising. i see hate towards him almost every day since Remake came out and i wish i was kidding#and yeah yeah i know other characters get lots of hate too but the hate towards him has been so sudden and random???#idk maybe he *was* hated before but i just didn't notice#but at the same time no. i'm 100% sure the hate increased considerably after he was shown to be alive in the Remake#i feel like some people are just weirdly concerned he is gonna overshadow the main characters which is stupid#this story is still about Cloud and the others#we're just gonna explore another reality (allegedly) with Zack it's not that deep bro#(rebirth spoilers) -> even in Zack's timeline Cloud AND Aerith are there#and who knows how many more#like i get shippers being petty because when are they not petty#but i've seen non-shippers/casual players saying they do not want to see more of him and being all bitter bc he's important#he's always been important you all just refuse to acknowledge it!!!#no matter how many times hamaguchi nomura nojima etc say he's super important ppl just keep denying it 💀#as if y'all know more than the freaking devs i'm getting tired of this bs#my post#i'm glad the devs love him as much as we do. cry about it

Hello~ you probably NEVER expected this out of me but I really wanted to respond to these tags!! I really love reading them~
I just went on and on with it...thinking about this subject was fun, in short though, you made me want to step out of my comfort zone. I'm so used to holding back and wrapping things up in a softer way (for more reasons than one) but one day maybe I can go "ape shit" with things (would ANYONE like seeing something like that though, with my artstyle??? can it actually look..;; that powerful? I wonder)
in regards to the original tag, I was thinking about what the character went through when he was really young. How he would have felt when he was ten or maybe younger than that even, when things first started happening... It's...probably something that will never be discussed in depth and I wonder if they should go there but... I thought about it a bit, jotted and sketched a little, but I came back out. Whatever I'd come up with wouldn't be canon anyway (all my works are but yeah) I felt like crying a little. It's horrible. Although what I feel would be nowhere near to what people would actually feel you know? It's rude to think I'd understand. I should really make a donation to a childcare foundation or something sometime~
Again, to you and for all... I'm grateful for you seeing my works :) I'm glad I can share them here, I do get shy and embarrassed but I don't feel so lonely when I have people who enjoy them. I actually never get used to posting even after all these years I've been drawing, at this rate, I feel like it'd be impossible for me to get full of myself...
#oshi no ko#random blabbering#doodle#I mean w hikaru...; I catch a glimpse of the feeling of what that guy may feel you know???#and from what I can sense#it's surprising that he's even alive...#you can't live with that kind of feeling and yet he is...#it kind of feels like you feel a deep pit in the horizon and you notice it's there but.. are you going to climb in it.. that's what's been-#going on for me for his case#and the thing is you can't even be sure if this feeling you feel's actually accurate either. because it's someone else's(and not even real)#but I'm usually.. really good with these#so I follow and go on with it~#insertname099
