#twst kids and plans au

[yuri-is-online]

Saw your "Yutu judging Yuu's taste" ask and thought about Rollo!Yutu being especially judgy about his parents taste in men. At the ball after the whole Fire Flower Fiasco, he tries gently broaching the subject with Yuu only for them to look at him like this

"What, you think just because this twerp thinks Im special for being magicless I can overlook him trying to start WWV"? Which only confuses Yutu more because he's here, isn't he???

(Bonus points, if you don't count the Groovification Card lines as canon, then the only student to ask Yuu to dance at the ball is Azul. Imagine Yutu trying to digest the type of man his father is while watching his other parent dance in the arms of Azul freaking Ashengrotto).

He's watching his hands just waiting for him to be aborted from the timeline because clearly he messed up somehow, when in actuality his parents romance is a slow burn enemies to lovers fic that starts years later, like, during the apprenticeship in Senior Year/After Rollo gets counselling for his brothers death.

*Bonus bonus point, I imagine Rollo!yutu's real name is Rollo's brothers'name. Yuu can't remember why it eas so important to name their kid that, just that it was.

the exact opposite of the usual dynamic lol

That bonus point is totally true, we don't know what Rollo's bother's name is but in the book it's Jehan/Jean and that does sound like a fitting name for Rollo! Yutu. Jean likes knowing that his name was important somehow, it gives him a connection to his father that he desperately wants. Doubly so when he's at NRC and no one knows anything about him because he went to a different school. He wonders what they would have had to say if they knew the truth... seeing Yuu dance with Azul doesn't help. Seeing them dismiss Rollo outright makes him lethargic, wondering if there's anything he can do to prevent the bad future before he ceases to exist. Should he try telling Idia what's up before he dies? He doesn't know anymore...

The idea of Yuu and Rollo's relationship being a slow burn is not something I have played with before? As I am thinking about it now, the idea of Rollo having a strong instantaneous attraction to Yuu that he swallows in favor of his world ending plan, only for it to be all that he's left with is sweet in a diabolical way? Maybe he tries to learn how to use magicam in the hopes of talking with them and then he feels stupid about it because he sucks at it, but then Yuu actually starts talking to him? Maybe Yuu just wants to encourage him to seek help, and they still do that, but they really like talking to him and appreciate how aware he is of their struggles. Maybe Rollo talks to the magicless people of his city and forwards their advice, anything to get to know them better. Yuu leans back and thinks about what Yutu asked or implied and has the unfortunate realization all on their own that maybe their taste in men is bad... and desperately brushes it off as him being just a... good unique friend? Something they denied all the way up until they were doing an internship in the City of Flowers and were meeting up for coffee every single morning in a way they couldn't pretend weren't dates. Who knows how long Rollo cultivated those flowers, Yuu is something he's willing to cultivate a lot longer.

In the original timeline anyway, who knows about this one (｀ω´)

Ice skate date?

TWST x gn!reader

characters featured: riddle, azul, ruggie

since i am obsessed with the concept of teaching (almost) grown men how to skate, i return with brainrot (twst edition)

but then again i have a feeling that a lot of the characters have no idea how to ice skate (due to various reasons I'll get into here) . if there happen to be any events or lore where the characters actually know how to ice skate consider this to be a fun little au where they dont

｡°✩ ⋆⁺｡ Riddle Rosehearts

There's no time for useless things when you want to achieve perfection.

That's what Riddle's mom told him when he expressed interest in anything but studying. She had every minute detail planned out and a "useless hobby" would not fit in.

Therefore, Riddle never learned how to ice skate. You can imagine he has his reservations about going to the rink with you.

After a bit of convincing and lots of reassuring him that you won't laugh under any circumstance, he begrudgingly agreed to go.

As soon as he stepped on the ice, he felt unsafe, like he might fall over at any moment but you quickly held out your arm for him to hang onto.

"Thanks." He looked a little startled which almost made you laugh but you shouldn't break a promise.

His grip on your arm tightened as he attempted to glide across the ice beside you. Seems he's really afraid of falling.

"Relax, you'll pull my arm off if you squeeze it that hard." You reminded him gently. You have a feeling you understand why he's so determined to not fall even once and avoiding the stares of curious children.

His grip on your arm loosened but that made him stumble on the ice and almost fall over and he immediately gripped you again. At this point you're worried you'll lose circulation.

"Riddle, it's fine if you fall. You shouldn't worry too much." You smiled, remembering how you used to fall a lot back when you were first learning to ice skate.

"Even I still fall on the ice a lot. This is nothing like a magic history exam, you don't need to be perfect. There's no way to be completely perfect here, anyways."

"I know that. Do not patronize me." Riddle huffed, leaning onto you more and attempting to slide on the ice properly.

"I was not." You wondered if you were too vague with your advice. Did he even get what you meant to say?

Actually, now that you take another look at him, he looks more relaxed and at ease. "Riddle, you idiot. You don't have to act so modest when you're glad I understand you." You thought to yourself, looking lovingly at his determined face.

｡°✩ ⋆⁺｡ Azul Ashengrotto

Honestly, where would he learn to ice skate under the sea? He never even used legs until his teenage years, so ice skating was completely out of the question until now.

That being said, he felt less than confident stepping on the ice.

It was still water, but he didn't like it in this solid form. It was much too slippery and unpredictable for his liking.

"Come here! You can do it! Come on!" You were standing around 5 metres to his right, beckoning him to come over as if he's a toddler who's just learning how to properly walk.

"Drop the babytalking, please." he was definitely not amused which only made you giggle harder.

"Oh, but I was so benevolent as to help you learn how to ice skate. What a shame that my help is so unnapreciated." you did your best Azul impression.

"Wow. I would compliment your acting skills if this wasn't completely innacurate and used to make fun of me." despite that, he managed to somehow make his way to your side, stumbling a few times.

You smiled cheekily, pointing at the edge. "Hold onto that. And onto me too, if you want." He did as you insctructed, looking a little nervous and unsure.

A little kid passed by the two of you, staring curiously at Azul. It must be a little weird to see someone so old just learning how to ice skate for the first time. You anticipated the little children staring.

You could feel him squeeze your arm slightly tighter at that and he seemed to be looking outside the ice rink, avoiding your eyes.

You gently took his hand.

"It's fine. Don't think about it too hard."

You felt him stiffen for a moment.

"You're honestly pretty scary sometimes, you know that?" you had no idea in what sense he meant that since he still didn't look your way. But you have a feeling his cheeks are pink right now.

Doesn't matter either way since he squeezed your hand lovingly.

｡°✩ ⋆⁺｡ Ruggie Bucchi

"Aw man, I just can't get this right." You helped Ruggie up for what felt like the hundreth time. He had free time this weekend so you suggested ice skating, to which he immediately told to he doesn't know how to.

Thinking back on it, it makes complete sense that he wouldn't know how to ice skate. The Sunset Savanna is a very warm nation so snow doesn't fall there and Ruggie didn't exactly grow up in the best living conditions either so he wouldn't have been able to afford a trip to a colder nation anyways.

"You'll get it soon enough." He didn't seem dejected at all even after all the failed attempts to keep up with you, which was nice to see.

"I hope I do, or Leona will get mad at me for being late to tuck him in."

"I still can't get over how ridiculous that is. Tuck him in? What is he, a toddler?" You sighed, catching him when he stumbled over and he thanked you cheekily.

"King's orders, what can ya do." He shrugged. He thinks he's almost got the hang of it now. That's a good thing. Very very good.

"Why are you so determined to learn by today? You know we can always come back some other time." you held his hand, helping him keep balance.

"Isn't it obvious? It's cuz I wanna go on an ice skating date with you. A proper one!" he grinned widely at you, feeling proud of himself.

"Okay, you romantic." you rolled your eyes playfully. The closest you'll get to an "ice skating date" is a beginner skating class for teenagers. Atleast in this short time frame.

But you have to admit, the way he said it with so much determination was downright adorable and almost made you want to cover the rental ice skate fee. Almost.

He'll probably conjure up some insane scheme to avoid paying for them anyways. Which makes you worry about getting in trouble with not just the school, but also the law.

You should probably hold him back this time, huh.

Egg Waffles, anyone?

[TWST AU]: MC/Yuu sells waffles (and other desserts) to get by.

[Synopsis]: In this timeline, what if MC/Yuu starts selling the Hong Kong-styled Waffles and other delicious snacks from their home world? That way it can provide enough Madol for both Grim and themselves than whatever allowance Crowley has given them. (Cheapskate bastard-)

[Gender Neutral MC/Yuu]

[TW]: Little bit of Ace slander

[(A/N)]: I actually work at my mom’s dessert bar and we make fresh waffles with ice cream + toppings or just plain with the option of adding sugar powder. Another note is if you don’t know what it looks like. It’s something like this:

[Original Image Source]: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnn.com/travel/amp/hong-kong-bubble-waffles/index.html

[(A/N)]: There’s also a recipe I found that maybe anyone can try out.

[Egg Waffle recipe]: https://youtu.be/VNDvNUpT-f8

Ever since falling into Twisted Wonderland, MC/Yuu and Grim were the only ones staying at the abandoned building widely known as the Ramshackle Dorm at Night Raven College.

With money being tight and Crowley who probably is a stingy crow, the two need to find a solution for their financial troubles.

Then MC/Yuu remembers something: The Egg Waffles.

MC/Yuu: Wait! I have an idea to earn more Madols!

Grim: Really?! What?

MC/Yuu: Egg Waffles!

Grim: *Confused* What waffles?

MC/Yuu: They’re waffles that were sold back in my home world. They’re delicious. It’s like mini edible pockets: crispy on the outside, fluffy in the inside. I don’t think anyone around here thought of this. Come on. Let’s experiment.

For the next week, the Ramshackle Dorm is filled with the scent of freshly made waffles.

The smell even attracted some troublemakers: The ADeuce Duo.

You see, Ace and Deuce only want to visit their friends as someone wanted answers for Professor Trein’s history assignment. (Looking at you, Ace. You jerk /j.)

Deuce only came along to try talking Ace out of cheating- Taking advantage- purposefully finding answers without effort.

*Sighs* Who am I kidding? He will and always find shortcuts to everything- Little Bastard Boy…

Anyway, the two Heartslabyul students are heading to the ol’ dorm and when they arrived, the fresh smell of Hong Kong style-Waffles hits their olfaction receptors.

Ace: Prefect, we need your-

MC/Yuu: Ace, Deuce! Thank god you’re here. Quick, try these samples. *Shoves some waffles in their mouths*

Deuce: *Muffles* Mm! These are…delicious!

Ace: *KOFF!* *KOFF!* What was that for?!

MC/Yuu: Sorry. I needed honest reviews for these waffles. I’m planning to sell some so Grim and I won’t suffer in money troubles.

Deuce: They tasted amazing. What kind of waffles are they?

MC/Yuu: They’re called Egg Waffles that originated from a country back in my world. Traditionally eaten as plain, but they are trendy with ice cream and other toppings added inside. Anyway, there’s work to be done before it’s ready for everyone.

Ace: Wait. Before you continue these experiments, you did the assignment for Professor Trein’s class, right?

MC/Yuu: …Do you want another waffle shoved up your a-?

Anyway, the ADeuce duo left, with some waffles.

The following week, MC/Yuu asked Crowley if they can open a small business within their dorm so they won’t pester him every time for allowances.

Surprisingly he let them. (Not for their sake, but he also heard rumors within the school that the Ramshackle Dorm is scented of baked goods. He wanted to try them.)

Now, business is open!

[Waffle Joys Official Opening!]

MC/Yuu: I can’t believe this isn’t a dream. We’re gonna be okay, Grim.

Grim: You said it! Can’t wait for limitless tuna… *Salivating from the thoughts of tuna cans*

[Doorbell jingles, revealing the First Years as the first customers.]

MC/Yuu: Welcome to Waffle Joys!

Ace: Yo, MC/Yuu!

Deuce: We came by to congratulate you on opening day.

MC/Yuu: Aww thanks guys.

Sebek: What are the specials? I must know as I heard you can make some with ice cream inside. Not because of me, but for Waka-sama.

Epel: Yeah! I want one before Etiquette class.

Jack: Small snack after practice.

MC/Yuu: Coming right up! They’re based on familiar desserts.

[🧇THIS WEEK’S WAFFLE SPECIALS!!!🧇]

Cherry Pie Waffle

Purin Waffle

Cinnamon Apple Waffle

Sweetened Pear Waffle

Macaron Delight Waffle

[After waiting for their orders, they got their respective desserts and thanked their friend before heading out back to their usual routines.]

MC/Yuu: *Counting the money* You think this will start a successful business one day?

Grim: I think so? Whatever. As long as I get tuna.

MC/Yuu: *Sighs* You and your tuna.

[DING! DING! DING!]

MC/Yuu: Welcome to Waffle Joys! Wait, Azul?

Azul: Charmed to see me, Prefect~?

Jade: It’s a pleasure seeing you again, Prefect~

Floyd: Hey, Koebi-chan!

MC/Yuu: Azul, I’m not falling for another deal after what happened back then. What is the real reason why to came to Ramshackle?

Azul: Oh, how harsh of you to assume I would drag you into another deal.

MC/Yuu: Just spit out what you want.

Azul: I want your business to collaborate with the establishment of the Monstro Lounge.

MC/Yuu: *Wields up their waffle iron* Absolutely not. First of all, I started this business because Grim and I aren’t getting enough support from Crowley and second, how do I know I’m not trapping myself into another unfortunate end because of you?

Azul: I’m not making you a deal. I only decided to come by because, well…

MC/Yuu: *Realization hits them* I’m stealing your customers, aren’t I.

Azul: *Grasps on their shoulders* How did you do it?

MC/Yuu: Easy. I just remember something nostalgic and whipped them up with modern takes.

Azul: *Lets go* I need you at Monstro Lounge. Now.

MC/Yuu: No way. If you want your “precious regulars” back, how about advertising both our respective eateries and with a fair price on our ends. Is that fine with you?

Azul: Hmm…If it attracts more customers, then it’s a deal.

MC/Yuu: *Slams an unsigned contract in front of Azul* By my contract, not your Unique Magic.

Azul: *Taken aback* How long were you holding this?

MC/Yuu: Since I first experimented, I knew you’ll come around.

[DING! DING! DING!]

MC/Yuu: Welcome to Waffle Joys!

Crowley: Greetings, Prefect!

MC/Yuu: Crowley, this is surprising to see you as you’ll only come because of “favors.”

Crowley: Oh no no! I only came to try this Egg Waffle because some students were posting pictures on MagiCam and it’s trending.

MC/Yuu: Well, I did ask permission and you given in the idea. So what waffle would you like to order?

[10 minutes later]

MC/Yuu: Here’s your waffle, Headmaster Crowley! Enjoy your order!

[He ordered a Charcoal Black waffle with Black sesame ice cream and sliced toasted almonds, sprinkled with powdered sugar. On top of that is drizzled with condensed milk.]

[Now Crowley joined the Waffle Frenzy.]

Now I’m imagining that if an Overblot breaks out, MC/Yuu would pull out their waffle iron.

Then, “WHAM!!!”

Knocks over the person in despair, coughing out a Blot stone (Which they caught before Grim could eat it).

The Overblot victim comes back to their normal state, and MC/Yuu gives them a waffle as an apology since they “didn’t know their own strength.”

"If the twst characters followed you back to your world" Au.

Yuu wakes up at home, upset for their friends left behind and tries to fall back into their life before Twst. But at night, they get a call from a person named Ace and hears their friend's voice, but pretends to be normal when Ace asks if they forgot tomorrow's plans.

Ace pulls up on the driveway and Yuu gets in the car to find another man that looks like Deuce and a kid with bright blue eyes. The group stops in a restaurant for breakfast and explains Twisted Wonderland did happen and they are the original Ace, Deuce and Grim.

When Yuu was being sent home, those who didn't want to lose them came along and woke up in their own home and new memories filtering in like they always lived here. However, half of them went to Yuu's world and the other half stayed.

(In my version of this idea is Ace and Deuce are one year younger than Alice and met each other in high school along with the rest of the first years (Ortho is a real boy). Grim became a human and the little brother of Deuce)

[twisted-confessions]

Yikes, I'm so sorry because I know that one is these is a KINDA popular ship but uh... I honestly hate any ships between anyone in diasomnia. Including silbek.

Now don't get me wrong, Im not going to hate anyone who ships it but it personally runs me as way too familial.

Also Leona x anyone OUTSIDE OF CRACKSHIPS. He is 20, they are 18 or younger. Ickyyy.

Also, staff with anyone. No.

Look, i do understand the inworld complications of most of the ships in Twst, especially with faes like Mal and Lilia. But sometimes depending on the oc and their background it works. Take someone who has a Faculty oc around the same age as Crewel or Sam, if they were shipped with one of the students (minus said fae), i'd agree that it's a problematic ship. Shipping's complicated man, it's just liking certain people to be together, whether romantically or platonically.

For my AU, Age will be a complicated thing for Isabella with the other students and I plan on her talking to others like Lilia about it. At first she thought she was just a teen Viking girl who came from different universe, then she finds out she's technically 1016 years old? That's older than even Lilia!!! How would one in her situation even find an "age-appropriate" partner? Especially if she has an extended lifespan thanks to plot twists. She still feels and acts and has been around for 16 years but thanks to the mysteries of how time travel could work, who can say? Was she just frozen there, still technically aging albeit slowly, or was it just being brought to the future in an instant?? Should she try dating one of the kids around her "age" or a fellow immortalish being who has had similar existential issues about romance and such? There is no real clear cut answer, especially since it's all a fictional story about some handsome magical bois lol.

Regardless, there will ALWAYS be complicated ships and there will always be people who ship them FOR FUN! Cause thats what shipping's for, fun. That doesnt give people a reason or excuse to just go up and say "That ship is WRONG and ILLEGAL you should be in JAIL-" or what not to someone who doesn't have the same ship ideals as you. That's why most fanfics that ship characters make sure to have warnings for people who DON'T like that stuff or tag that it features certain ships. Self-ships can get even MORE complicated because of age too, like for example, I myself am 20 years old so the only NRC student I could "legally" date is Leona but that doesnt mean I'm not allowed to imagine or fantasize about the other characters. At the end of the day, enjoy what you enjoy and let others enjoy what they like too. Everyone has their preferences.

smol idia

Ooooh??? Idia was originally planned to be the youngest student at NRC. He was to be a young super genius that NRC allowed to skip grades (a provision made just to accomodate Idia). (Information here sourced from this tweet from Yana Toboso!)

So… even younger than Ortho? Was little brother Idia a thing?? Or did the idea of Ortho (an older Shroud and a younger Shroud) come from the initial idea for a young boy genius Idia??

This may explain why there is some early concept art (shown at a Japan-only TWST exhibit) of what appears to be a small boy with fiery blue hair; previously, fans thought this may be Ortho while he was still flesh and bone–but with this new information, it may actually be Idia!

This is exactly the explanation I went with for my Shroud brothers age swap AU; Idia is a very young student that was allowed to skip grades because of his big brain cells (you can read that fic here!) 🤡 What a coincidence, huh… (though I’m sure there are plenty of other creators in the TWST fandom space that have similar AUs!)

ahuvfoyayvadvydaisasn Imagine how much brattier Idia would be as a kid, as if we need any extra sass in the cast 🤣

TWST: The EPIC sage p5: Warrior of the Mind

Main characters: Jamil Viper(Odysseus) and Leona Kingscholar(Athena)

Style: Songfic

CW: PTSD, Slight Swearing but if there’s more let me know

Inspired by @werewolfbyknight’s character ideas for the AU

Masterlist

A/N: We finished Saga number one!!! How fitting that it was days after the Wisdom Saga was released.

The captain notices how Kalim soon vanished from sight. He turns around to see a man with a dark complexion, long unkept brown hair, piercing green eyes, and lion ears and a lion tail. The lion hits his staff into the sand, and causes time to stop. It was one of the major gods and the bastard brother to Malleus

“Have you forgotten the lessons I taught you?” The god snarls.

“Leona,” The captain mutters at him.

Leona glares at the Captain, “Have you forgotten to turn off your heart? This is not you,” He circles around the captain while looking him up and down, “I see you changing from how I designed you.

The captain turns away from Leona and begins to walk towards his ship, but Leona grabs his arm and yanks the captain towards him. It became very clear, there was no way the captain could escape this confrontation.

“Have you forgotten your purpose?” He smirks down at the captain, “Let me remind you…”

Leona hits his staff into the sand again. The hourglass in the gold lion’s mouth turns as sand streams around the pair. The world seems to move backwards as they go back in time.

God of Wisdom…master of war

The pair moves away from the strange beach onto a familiar land- Scalding Sand’s capital Silk City and its various water ways.

My life has one mission to create the greatest warrior

Leona lets go of the captain, “Remember this? I had a challenge, a test of skill. A magic boar only the best could kill.”

The god smirks at the younger version of the captain as he sneaks up behind the monstrous boar. He waits until the animal leans down to drink before striking. “One day a boy can for the thrill, a boy whose mind rivaled the boar’s own will.”

“Let’s go!” The cheerful voice of a child yells as he strikes the boar with a spell. The fight goes on and Leona can’t help but get sucked into the memories. A rare sentimental look flashes across his face for a second at the young face full of hope.

Maybe one day he’ll follow me and we’ll make a greater tomorrow. Then he’ll see I know he’ll change the world cause he is a warrior of the mind.

The fight continues. The young captain uses a wind spell to launch over the grand canal as the boar charges at him.

Maybe one day I’ll reach him and I can build his skills as I teach him. If there’s a problem, he’ll have the answer because he is a warrior of the mind

The boar falls into the water and disappears in a puff of sand. The young captain looks throughout the canal perplexed. He hears the wind blow around him.

“Show yourself….I know you’re watching me. Show yourself,” the child smirks, “I can see you…”

The memory of Leona appears from the dunes, “How can you see through my spell?”

The young captain chuckles and grins at Leona, “I was lying! And you fell for my bluff!”

Leona rolls his eyes as the kid laughs. He sighs, attempting to turn his annoyance into a passive aggressive smile. It ended up looking like a sneer, but the child wasn’t afraid.

“Well done enlighten me what’s your name?”

”You first and maayybe I’ll do the same.”

“Nice try but two can play this game-“

“NAH! Don’t be modest, I know you’re a god just be honest you are Leona!”

Leona just shrugs and allows the kid to continue to praise him.

“Badass in the area. Unmatched wit and king of the best strategy we’ve seen!”

He grins, “If you’re looking for a mentor I’ll make sure your time’s well spent.”

The young captain grabs Leona’s hand and vigorously shakes it, his face full of wonder.

“Sounds like a plan, immortal and man. Bestest of friends!”

Leona removes his hand, “We’ll see where it ends.”

The kid just shrugs, “Okay…”.

The present Leona stamps his staff into the ground and they begin to return to the present. The pair sees flashes of the past.

Maybe one day they’ll follow me and we’ll make a greater tomorrow

They see flashes of the captain studying to become the grand chancellor and general of the Scalding Sands.

Then they’ll see, I know we’ll change the world because we are the warriors of the mind

His wedding. The birth of his son. His reign.

Maybe one day we’ll reach him and we will build their skills as we teach them. If there’s a problem we’ll have the answer because we are the warriors of the mind

They finally reach the present. Leona slams his staff into the ground, resuming time. The captain stumbles away from Leona.

The god sighs, “I still intend to make sure you don’t fall behind, don’t forget you are a warrior of a very special kind. You are a warrior of the mind.”

He walks past the captain to whisper into his ear.

“Don’t disappoint me,” He transforms into a lion and stalks off, leaving the captain to his own devices.

The captain walks onto his tender where Kalim was waiting and they get onboard. They set sail in the direction that the blotfruit eaters pointed them in and eventually they reach an island…

[olivia-anderson-fanfic]

Your heart is pounding and it can't be stopped

The red queen is dead! Unfortunately, her Overblot is an even more fearsome foe.

(Twst au where Overblots are apocalyptic events)

Riddle Rosehearts was dead.

Yuko had not seen the body, but she knew this to be true.

Would there even be a body? What had Crowley once told them about Overblots? They would drain the Host of power, like a soda can that would inevitably be discarded. Does that mean that the body would be tossed aside, that maybe one day they could go back and bury the poor boy? Would it simply disappear the moment there was no more mana, nothing left of the boy except for a rampaging monster? Or would the body stay there, attached to the front of it, until it decayed naturally?

Did it even matter, anymore?

A high scream met their ears.

They didn’t stop to let themselves wonder whether they recognized the voice.

Her breathing came in short, aborted gasps. Deuce’s hand, wrapped around her own, was gripping her so tightly that it was starting to hurt. Blot hung heavy in the air, thick blobs of inky blackness threatening to choke them. Her feet stumbled over cobbled streets. Ace’s collar glinted in the red-tinted sun as he struggled to tug it over his head with a newfound fervor. The trees creaked and groaned as they were ripped out of the ground one by one by the queen on a hunt. Flames spilled from Grim’s mouth as he followed at their heels, painting the world behind them in flames in hopes of slowing it. People cried out as they were found. First in surprise, then terror, then anguish and then pain and then –.

Their little group of four stumbled through the mirror.

It was as if they had stepped into another world.

The ripping, tearing sounds they had been listening to for the better part of an hour came to a halt all at once. No one was running, no one was screaming. Their peers sent their group strange looks, all hopelessly unaware of the monster that was now in their midst.

For just a moment, their group of four lingered there, a heap of teens, breathing heavy in a way that was either just regular overexertion or the beginnings of a panic attack. So shaken by the sudden change they almost forgot what was going on in the sheer strangeness of it all.

“You guys look like you’ve seen a ghost,” a Savanaclaw second-year student commented, teasing.

“No,” Ace said, his laugh bordering on manic as it spilled from his lips. “Those are in Ramshackle, not Heartslabyul, idiot!”

Yuko wanted to join him. Laughing seemed like much more fun than whatever it was she was doing, planning and trying to figure out a way to defeat a monster that was so much more powerful than she could even dream to be.

Then she glanced back, at the mirror.

Cater held his hands up, yelling something that was inaudible to those not in the Heartslabyul pocket dimension, winking at something they couldn’t see.

A tree speared him through the chest. He choked on his usual smile. He coughed, blood speckling the untainted trunk in front of him.

The clone dissolved into nothing.

A distraction, perhaps, so people could run to find safer places to hide for the moment.

She had the sinking feeling that the plan was actually to lead the Overblot to the mirror. That he wanted to use the rest of the school as bait, just so he could live.

She turned to the innocent bystanders.

“Rosehearts-senpai has Overblotted,” she said, her voice surprisingly calm despite the way her heart thudded in her chest in time to the deceptively cheery kids song that was Painting the roses red.“He is coming. Believe me. Or don't, I couldn't care less. But we all need to run.”

It wasn’t hard to believe her.

The Overblot approached the place where the clone had fallen, the ink sloshing over the top of its jar with every lumbering step, painting the cobbled stone path black. It knelt to scoop up the tree, gently cradling it in its fingers for a moment. Blood rubbed off on its white gloves.

Dully, Yuko thought that, at least, Riddle’s ghost could at least be glad that those damn roses were finally red.

It turned to look at them them. Without a Riddle hanging on the front, screaming and crying, it was strangely eerie, to look at a faceless being, and yet know that its eyes are locked solely on you.

With intent.

It hefted the tree in its hand, preparing to throw it.

They didn’t wait to see whether or not the tree would be able to make it through the mirror.

Shoes skidded on tile as they took off running again.

People scrambled in every direction. Towards the safety of their own dorms. Trying to find a way out. A place to hide. Anything that might save them. The more they spread out, the more of them that would survive. They knew this all intrinsically.

They also knew that those who got caught would die alone.

“Okay, okay, okay,” Ace said, leading their group through the halls with ease. Despite how little time they had spent at the school so far, he knew the layout like the back of his hand. “We need to get out of here.”

“Come up with that plan on your own?” Deuce snarked.

“I’m fucking sorry do you have a better one?”

Yuko groaned. “Not the time, guys.”

They grumbled and fell silent, instead focusing on getting out the doors.

Crowds of people, heading about their days like normal, seemed confused by the group of teens that were set on getting out of the building without paying any mind to the people they might end up trampling along the way. Maybe they thought they were running from Riddle’s punishments. They wouldn’t be entirely wrong, if that was what they were guessing, but they didn’t know the full extent of things.

She should tell them the full extent.

Ace met her eyes and, briefly, in a motion so small it was almost lost in the steady bounce of pounding footsteps, shook his head.

Her voice died in her throat.

They both knew that the more people the Overblot encountered, the more it would be distracted from chasing them. That the more people they warned, the harder it would be to push through crowds, to stick together, to get away and be sure that everyone else had escaped, too.

They stepped out onto the grounds without uttering a word of warning.

Mud squished beneath their feet as they ran. It had rained earlier that morning, but now the sky was sunny. Deceptively, it was a nice day out. It felt wrong.

It was hot. The sun beat down on them relentlessly.

They were out in the open.

Others rushed into the woods, hoping to find comfort and safety with the trees as cover, but they had forgotten the dangerous wildlife and poisonous and venomous plants that would prove to be just as fatal as the Overblot. No, they had to leave, that was the only chance they had of making it out of this alive.

It would just require them running across an open field in broad daylight. It wasn’t a short sprint, either.

In the back of their minds, they knew that their school was on an island, so they probably wouldn’t be able to get away in the long run even if they did, by some stroke of luck, make it off campus. But they didn’t care. They just wanted more time.

Time they didn’t seem to have.

“AaaaAaaaCe TrrrRaaaappolA!” the creature roared from somewhere within the castle. Blot spilled from a tower window, which was helpful for trying to figure out where it had gone, but unsettling in that it was heading up the Astronomy tower, a place with an open roof and a view of the entire campus grounds. It was getting the high ground, trying to spot them. Even when lost to the blot, nothing that was formed from Riddle Rosehearts could be entirely stupid.

They were going to be found.

Ace turned a few shades more pale.

“What do you guys think are the chances we all misheard that?” he tried.

“Nonexistent,” said Grim.

Ace gave another laugh. It was bitter, unsettling, making the hair on the back of her neck stand on end. It was at this very moment that she remembered that the Queen of Roses was said to be a tyrant, yes, but that her subjects were also said to be mad.

She grabbed his hand, pulling him to a stop, and he looked at her with wide, imploring eyes.

Their friends slowed as well, though they looked no happier.

“We can’t, we can’t stop,” Grim said. As a fire monster, he couldn’t cry, but it sounded like he was getting as close to it as was possible for him.

She ignored him. She knelt and grabbed two handfuls of mud, and then dumped them over Ace’s head.

He shrieked, indignant and disgusted as brown ran down the back of his neck, seeping under his collar. “Wh – what are you –?”

“Hair’s recognizable. Need to cover it.”

His eyes widened and he practically dove into the ground, rolling in the mud. Dirtying his hair and collar. If there was one thing she could respect about the boy, it was that he was surprisingly quick on the uptake, when he wanted to be.

Next, she shoved brown into Deuce’s hands.

“Do you even know what mud is –?” he started to ask.

“No, and I couldn’t care less.”

He grimaced, but started combing his fingers through his hair to dye it.

She briefly pressed her hands to the back of her own neck, allowing the excess, cool mud to bring her down before she could overheat.

That dealt with, she knelt beside Grim, who was shaking like a leaf despite the heat and exhaustion. Carefully, she ran her fingers through his fur. He complained about the mud, but ultimately leaned into her touch regardless.

She pressed a kiss to the top of her familiar’s head.

He leapt into her arms, and she shouldn’t have had enough strength to carry him, and yet she did. The monster looped his arms around her neck, hugging her close, and he half-sobbed into her shoulder.

“We’ll make it out of this,” she promised. “And we’ll tell everyone that you, the Great Lord Grim defeated the nasty Overblot, and you’ll be the greatest mage in the world at age, like, one and a half.”

Grim, for once, didn’t take the opportunity to spout off about his greatness.

He trembled in her arms.

She thought he was falling apart at the seams.

She thought she felt the same.

But she didn’t have time for any of that. She was the smart one, the one who had figured out what to do at the mines, and she would figure out what to do here, too. Her parents had named her Yuko – helpful child – and she was going to help her friends get out of this damned school. And then she was going to figure out how to make a portal back to her own world, and drag these three idiots along with her so they wouldn’t have to experience anything as dangerous as this ever again.

It was what they deserved.

(It was a pipe dream and she knew it.)

Only once they got what they deserved would she allow herself to finally break down.

For now, she had problems to solve.

Eventually, finally, the pair of mages she called her friends were entirely average-looking, unrecognizable.

Just in time, too, because the Overblot finally reached the top of the Astronomy tower. It stood upon the precipice, leaning over, spilling black down the sides.

Yuko covered Grim with her school uniform jacket, hiding his flaming ears and electric blue eyes from view.

The Overblot peered over the grounds. For a moment, its gaze landed on them.

It continued on.

It didn’t find what it was looking for.

It screamed, frustrated, and leapt directly from the tower. The ground, already unsteady and muddy beneath their feet, shook.

It paid their shouts of surprise (and horror as it sunk in just how large the thing was) no mind. Instead, it turned and ran into the forest, bowling over trees as it went.

For just a moment, none of them even dared to breathe.

They looked at each other, wondering if they had all imagined it. Whether the stress had broken their minds already.

Surely, they couldn’t actually be escaping.

Deuce grinned widely, too widely, it didn’t fit his face at all.

He grabbed her by the shoulder and jerked her to her feet, pulling her back into a run. Grim curled tighter in her arms, trying to make himself more aerodynamic since they were not risking stopping even if just for a few seconds so she could put him down. Ace followed after them, hot on their heels.

The gates came into view.

A breathless laugh escaped her. She almost couldn’t believe it.

She shouldn’t have.

They couldn’t even get within three meters of the gates.

A forcefield no one had ever noticed before – no one had ever been this desperate to leave before – glimmered purple as they bounced off of it, the four of them tumbling back into the grass.

It was deathly silent.

They were… stuck.

In here.

With the monster that was actively calling for one of their heads.

They rushed forward, fists pounding against the forcefield, desperate wails spilling from their throats, begging that somehow someone would pass by and hear and be able to help.

No one came.

Yuko sunk to her knees.

“We’re doomed,” she breathed.

“No. Nonono! Yuko, don’t say that! You have to have a plan!” Deuce almost begged. “You always have a plan.”

She stared at the wrought iron in front of her. At the trees they could see through the bars, at the safety that was so close and yet so far.

“I – I don’t know.”

Hear me out duckies, KnaK au *but* platonic (soft)yandere batfam flavored.

Maybe reader knows about the DC universes cause their from our universe, maybe it's closer to twst and reader is clueless. I haven't picked which one.

In comics multi-dimensional string theory bullfuckery is normal. So when some stupid magic based rogue tries to call forth something to protect them, they get reader but pint-sized. (Funny cross over of knak aus this reader is the same reader so this is part two of being turned into a kid again. It's an ongoing horror story of being stuck reliving growth spurts and puberty over and over granted several lives.)

Obvs tho Batman isn't going to just let some kid mixed up in magic like that live on the streets; so he sends you to the cave with Tim or Drake. Already planning on keeping you with his family until they can track down the rogue and either force them to reverse it or tell them what they did exactly so they can call in the JLD.

Tim/Red Robin is nonchalant if he's the one bringing you back because *you* are being calm. He's not bad with kids he just doesn't know what to tell you. And since if he panics about your situation your likely to *start* panicking.

Dick is a much funner ride to the cave. While he does try to seem like the cool hero type he also is trying to get you to laugh while reassuring you. He knows how stressful this can be for a kid being wrapped up in things like this. The fact you aren't reacting much has him worried so he's tying to bring you back with a laugh. Dick/Nightwing assumes your dissociating really it's just the math meme as you try to figure out what the heck is going on!

So this doesn't get to like full writing since I just want to share some brain worms I'll stop there.

But endgame none of the batfam (and maybe superfam cameos) wants to let you go home so they all decide to use a little white lie that they can't send you back. So reader ends up being adopted by Bruce Wayne last name change and all.

The reincarnation shenanigans!

Aka the Au which was inspired by this post, but make it Floyd x Riddle :3

Now, knowing that in the previous au with gods(the godly roommate).... Well one of them was actually planned to hit the bucket... I need smth worse -3-

Now sum important trigger warnings: we have a lot of murder in here so if it isn't your cup of tea, sorry :'3

Heck yeah! Let's get into it! :3

We will split this whole thing into 3 parts: contemporary adventure, the post return of the said diety and the past that led up to everything. This way it will be easier to see the tone shift in everything and why certain things played that way. :3

Now, as a starter base: Imagine twst(without NRC and the great 7 shit), but gods were heavily worshipped. Like it wasn't unusual for a lot of churches to hold holy ceremonies, in search for divine blessings. Unfortunately, very few cases were given an answer.

Now you had Riddle, whom his mother discovered early on that he was special. He was an obedient child and he did everything he could to please his mother, yet never did he get that approval from her.

Because he had a mark on his arm. If people were to see it, they would assume this child had a tattoo. Riddle himself didn't understand the circumstances that the mark put him in. He thought it was pretty, but his mother didn't think that way, hence there were various attempts at trying to 'erase' it.

Attempts, which fortunately caught the eyes of the Clover parents. At that time, little Riddle was Sneaking out to play with the kids in the neighborhood. Trey, Che'nya and Floyd, the 4 of them usually being supervised by an adult a bit further. One day, the Clover parents saw Riddle's injured arm and immediately demanded to give the boy proper care, to which he denied, because his mother told him that he should erase the mark on his arm.

Yes, people, we get a trial and Riddle is taken into custody by the Clovers, who are ACTUALLY capable of raising a healthy child. There were months of doctor visits and bandages, along with a long awkward time for everyone, but gradually, things were better. Trey was more than happy that he had Riddle as a little brother. And Riddle was also happy with having a bigger and smaller siblings.

Now fast forward to the time both Riddle and Trey are teens. Trey was preparing for his 18th birthday, which ofc it was a big thing in the family. Everyone was all happy about it.

You also have Che'nya and Floyd, who were also happy for their friend turning 18. Che'nya already was 18 and at first he was very excited about the fact that he was considered an adult. So Trey pretty much got hyped by everyone around to plan a party and enjoy his sweet 18.

There's also a romantic development in between Riddle and Floyd, but the 2 keep beating around the bush, which is frustrating af. Che'nya has tried, multiple times, to set the 2 up and Trey, always, gave to his catboi buddy a pat and consolation pastries post failed attempt. :'3

Unfortunately, Trey doesn't catch that party.

Because some more dedicated cultists came one day and straight up made a genocide in the bakery. Trey and Riddle tried their utter best to protect their little siblings, armed with cooking tools.

That's when Riddle discovers that his mark wasn't just a wierd thing on his arm. It allowed the redhead to summon a sword and already he somehow knew how to use it, which gave them a small advantage.

They get saved by Jade, who presents himself as the God of prophecies and rumors. He proves his godhood by literally knocking out the enemies with a finger snap. :3

Jade himself admits that he was in a hurry, since it seems that the 'God slayer' found its wielder after thousands of years of being dormant. He says that Riddle, as a wielder, has a responsibility: prevent judgement day from coming upon humans.

Trey, as the oldest of the Clovers that was well... Alive... Says that it's absolutely bullshit. Jade only adds that since humans commited a grave sin many centuries ago,they were damned since start by the judgement day. This got lost in translation and as such, humans believed that if they allow the God of passion and emotion to be brought back to the living, they would be blessed and as such survive judgement day.

To prove his 'good nature' Jade offers to Riddle a deal: Fulfill his role and during this time, Jade will protect Trey and the little 2 Clovers from anymore dangers. He adds that since the cult traced the whereabouts of the sword, it would be inevitable for them to try and now use Riddle's other siblings as a bargain token.

Despite Trey's insistences to not do such thing, Riddle accepts the deal. His reasoning was that he felt guilty for everything. The Clover parents raised him right and gave him a loving place to call home. To be able to avenge their unfair deaths would be the best Riddle could do. And he wants to do that, to protect the rest of his family.

But first is the funeral. Since it took place post Trey's 18th birthday, at least he was eligible to take in the bakery and his younger siblings. Despite the begging from both family and friends, Riddle still packed up a small bag and off he was to fulfill his mission.

What he didn't expect tho, was for Floyd to insist to go with him. He and Che'nya made a plan of helping when they heard about the whole ordeal. Floyd was strong and much more capable of fighting than Che'nya was, so he will go with Riddle, while the latter will help Trey out at the bakery. Jade seemed to not mind this, rather he encouraged it.

Once the 2 were gone, Trey brings up to Che'nya that Jade looks awfully a lot like Floyd. The diety in question reasons that he can take many forms, as such he presented in something almost familiar, something that would prevent unwanted fear from mortals.

Meanwhile, we have Floyd and Riddle on their little adventure. :D

The thing was that Floyd was more of a guide. His parents took him on a lot of trips, as such he knew a lot of places around and overall was a great asset in orientation. Floyd was capable of a lot of things Riddle didn't expect the latter to know, then again, according to everyone else, Floyd came from a wealthy family, just how Riddle initially did. Surely he could learn anything if he wanted.

As such, things led up to discovering that the cultists were on the hunt for Riddle because they needed him in order to awaken their leader diety. The redhead didn't know what they needed of him, nonetheless he was sure that this won't happen, for during all this adventure, he trained in combat much more.

The finale would be finding the cultists's headquarters along the ceremony room. Being at the end, on an empty hall, Riddle was very on edge. He asked of Floyd to stay here, behind the big doors, as this was only in between him and this messed up people. Floyd wanted to protest against it, but Riddle told him that he wishes that because he loves him and doesn't want to risk losing smeoone he loves again. In the end, the taller complies, before making Riddle promise that he will be alright in there, promise which gets sealed with a kiss.

The whole ceremony room was big, but also empty. Riddle was very much preparing for an ambush.

Except he gets startled by the doors closing with a loud bang and Floyd standing in front of them, with a very apologetic look. The latter wanted to go to him and nag him for breaking their promise.

Except that this moment of weakness is enough for someone else to attack from behind and stab Riddle. The redhead wasn't feeling pain from the wound, but rather from the realisation that came once the cult members were cheering and didn't attack Floyd, the latter only walking towards Riddle. Smearing his fingers with the redhead's blood and then putting in his mouth the said blood, Riddle could only hear the cult members cheering, saying that finally the God of passion was back and thus they were spared from judgement day.

Floyd was the said God of Passion. And Riddle failed to prevent him from returning to his real nature.

So he accepted his fate, succumbing to his wounds once he heard the other humans in the room wanting to kill him and finish off this whole thing. Except that Floyd has none of it and takes Riddle in his arms, using his powers to heal the redhead after he used the same powers to get rid of the cult members, leaving only their leader alive, saying that it will come handy later.

When Riddle wakes up, he immediately puts distance in between him and Floyd once everything sinks in. He accuses the latter of betrayal, to which Floyd admits that since start, Riddle was set up for failure. Riddle tho, does inquire to know why did he keep him alive, if now most likely Floyd would cause a new regime altogether.

The latter says that he didn't want that, that he only wanted back to his godhood. Jade was his brother and the latter always blessed Floyd with his past memories. Every time Floyd would get reincarnated, his memories from past lives will always haunt him. Jade gve out the prophecy of judgement day. What Jade didn't share with the humans were 2 things: 1. His prophecies were always coming true.

And 2. Riddle was the one who brings judgement day, not Floyd or any other diety.

The redhead still refuses to believe or even get close to the latter. And Floyd indulges in this, saying that he wants to see Jade and talk with him. He told Riddle that Jade held up his end of the bargain, so he expects for Riddle to hold up his.

Before Floyd could actually leave, Riddle grabs his arm and asks to know one thing: if Floyd tampered with his emotions. He was the God of passion and emotion after all. Riddle wanted to know if his feelings were a lie too or not.

Floyd admits that he knows why Riddle would ask this, but he denies ever tampering with his feelings. He can only tamper with the mortals directly, a thing which Riddle was at the moment, but wasn't supposed to be. So even if he did tamper with his emotions, it will wear off the second Riddle accepts his godhood back.

The redhead finally indulges in it and asks what he should do to find the whole truth. He doesn't want to be bamboozled and used anymore because he doesn't know information.

And Floyd gladly presents him with the solution: kill the cult leader. Kill the one who lead this whole thing. Avenge his adoptive parents and finally settle in this injustice. He even summons in the said person, all immobilised and just begging at this point to end their suffering.

And Riddle, overcomed by rage, cuts off the head of the leader, assuring an instant death. With this, it assures that Riddle filled his purpose and slowly, his old self was coming back along the memories of his previous lives.

His first life, the one which started all, was during the age of gods, an era where divine help was more often practiced, as gods were comfortable roaming around the humans.

Amongst those, there was the god of justice, who persecuted any abuse of power amongst deities. He was one of the more worshipped gods, known for his chase after the god of passion, who often stirred conflicts in between humans. Many assumed the 2 hated each other, hence the endless chase.

But when the humans saw their opportunity and attempted to kill the said passion god, the latter was devastated and called upon him as his one and only lover, who now was on the deathbed because of punny humans bamboozling them.

As such, the god of justice used his blade, the famous 'god slayer', to pierce both of their hearts and thus kill both of them in each other's arms. The sword was crafted by Floyd initially, as a courting gift and Riddle used it to execute justice among the deities, yet that wasn't known by hoomans. With this, the god of justice plants a curse: they will get reincarnated again and if the humans drive both of them to the same situation as now, a calamity will hit humanity, as punishment. The cycle will repeat endlessly and to make matters worse, any other diety that will die will also be subjected to the very same curse. Repeat this endless cycle and bring the judgement day again and again until the humans learn their lesson.

And he had many lives: some were better, some were worse, but all ended up with him and Floyd in each other's arms as the sword was plunged through both of them.

But now, the cycle was broken. Both were back to their original forms and Floyd has never been happier.

Riddle tho, wasn't as happy as the latter. He insisted to tell Trey nothing about this. He feared the resentment the other may have. Floyd said that he could easily change that outcome, but Riddle didn't want that. He wanted Trey's true emotions, as such he wanted to still charade as a human until his mortal life would've dictated his end. After that, he will gladly go away with Floyd and enjoy his immortality. The latter wasn't that pleased, but he had to indulge if he wanted forgiveness for his 'betrayal'.

Damn does Trey feel so fucking relieved to see Riddle back. Jade told him everything that went on, to which Riddle's initial plan of lying was off the window. He still insists that he only wants a normal life for as long as this family lives. Trey is just happy his younger brother was back and alright. They will figure things out in the end.

Che'nya is also alright. Although he initially wasn't included in the bargain, Jade felt as if he will have to answer if the cat Boi was hurt in any way, shape or form. Ya know things were good when Che'nya was cheering for his ship finally sailing. Man has waited years for that, even if it came with the price of a cult's lives. :'D

But we have a happy ending at least. :3

New Horror Au pt 2 (pt is my American McGee au of Twst)

Entering the WonderCare (Poppy Playtime x Fnaf)

Hello <Yuu name/your name>,

It’s been a while since we last talked. I need your help, I have been researching this abandoned facility. You know, WonderCare? Yeah. That one company that manufactures those creepy life like animatronics and toys. Apparently I’ve been hearing rumors the place been slowly been active, but I never seen a person go in or out of it. I asked my buddies to check it out but not one saw one leave during a stake out. I ask you to investigate it and bring me back evidence of this. But I will warn you again, it’s been abandoned ever since the accident. It’s been ???? years as of now, I do ask to be safe. The place may be a little abandoned but also a bit dangerous. You may never know who or what lies in those walls. It’s strange, the founder was this big guy with a kind daughter. It was just the two and suddenly they are gone. Maybe they abandon the company. Or something. Let me know when you’re there. You got that service plan that texts and calls people without/have bad reception right? I think you did told me that.

Farewell, -$;0292!:!

You see a depleted facility of the once colorful industry of children’s toys and entertainment. You read the sign that was inside that explains the entire building from the founder, Dire Crowley.

Hello, welcome to WonderCare. The WonderCare facility manufactures children’s toys for the kids around the world, giving children’s and all the joyful hope. We do also have animatronics and indoors food joints to show the family a nice place to celebrate their birthdays. I believe this is fair to create a happy place for families and people alike. I wish you oh so kindly enjoy your stay. I bid you adieu.

You make notice of the varieties of toys and platforms. It is giant like a whole mall, but there are many rooms, entrances, and spaces that leads endlessly to everywhere or somewhere. But you cannot shake that unnerving feeling you are being watched. You start out your now marvelous horrific adventure!

@adrianasunderworld @mangacupcake @writing-heiress @the-weirdos-mind @skboba-stars @nproduction626 @rose-tea-and-strawberries @anxious-twisted-vampire

I mainly needed an excuse to later draw animatronic theme of my ocs

Also the tags will be WonderCare Au

{Lil Update🐍}

Yerr here I am…AGAIN!✨ Ok I’m going to keep this explination very short so here I go. Senior year is here, I peak at tumblr here and there but mostly focus on my work so i don’t worry about failing grades, things are going great and I’m starting to see an improvement in my art.

Got it? Got it.

Now onto what else I wanted to talk about in the format of a list:

- I’m going to finally get to those Kei Asks!!! The wips have been sitting in IbsPaint for a while now. If you don’t know what I’m talking about: [X] - Been working on the TWST Yokai AU with @hebidanshi We’ve made amazing progess and went…a little bit insane yesterday that we pretty much made a whole ass plot for this world. If we were ever bored with TWST and separate it from the AU, we would literally just have an original story on its own. Really it’s been fun to plan something like this with the people I apprciate a lot. CORNY I KNOW BUT I MEAN IT!

Have a little W.I.P of Ungaikyo!Kei as a treat!

- I’m also working on a TWST AU myself with the help of my mutuals on our Discord server. Of course I’m doing it slowly bit by bit as to not overwhelm my poor self. After all I still have school. But I’m so excited to finally get it done and draw the main cast’s outfits. Let me tell you something…when this releases, I’LL BE SO ANNOYING ON GOD‼️😫

- Now here’s something I haven’t talked about in a long ass time… Celestial Horizon Academy. My TWST Fanschool based on Kid Icarus: Uprising. It is an extremely big project of mine that I’m still passionate about to this day. But although I’m passionate for it, I do know my limits. SO! From now on CHA will be put on hold. NOT POSTPONED! But on hold. I think it’s for the best right now since I have a lot on my plate. I’m pretty sure yall understand. Just wanted to make that clear.

AND THAT’S ALL I WANTED TO SAY! YIPPIE! This was long but I’m glad I got a lot out of my chest.

Have a good weekend yall! I’m going to relax now.

[just-patchy]

C for the alphabet soup ask ? :)

Thanks for the ask! :3c for my sanity sake I’ll be sticking with my twst ocs, though I’ve also included my wip babies (and breaking my own rules of reserving my wna girls for my wna blog bc i don’t talk about them enough www)

Cetus Larimar

3rd year in Octavinelle and I made him only bc i wanted a whale shark merfolk oc. He’s a big boi and a little pookie. I’m not sure if I ever posted his UM but he does have one according to my drafts, it’s just nameless bc I couldn’t think of a name yet.

Shi Canlong

3rd year of my WIP fandorm Qilin, was the former dorm head until Yanque (2nd year, current dorm head) fought him for the position and won. He’s adopted and raised in a strict family so he’s actually pretty hard-working, he’s just also an arrogant lil shit (lol). I like to think of him as a bit of an honest guy

Calla Megrez

2nd year in Monarchia WNA (Az’s fanschool). I ended up developing her quite a bit in terms of trivia because it was really fun to do a “wild child” character. I also did a Black Clover AU for her because of it (the “wild child” aspect) since hierarchy and social class is a major theme in Black Clover, I thought it would be interesting to see how someone who’s generally rather removed from such social classes (due to being a bit of a societal outcast) would function.

Celestia Vikare

1st year WIP in Kriegskald and based off of Icarus! She’s a child genius who got into WNA early (13) and is basically a lil shit www a very typical ore-sama type character who gets super defensive when criticised but if you praise her it’ll go straight to her head (lol). She just does whatever she wants so she’s always getting in trouble

Clair Moreau

Vice dorm head of Lyrania (my fanschool WOA) and based off of the violin princess from Music Land. He’s canonically shipped with Lula (dorm head and based off of the alto saxophone prince) and is gnc. He’s generally pretty reserved but also a bit of a violin/strings instrument freak (specifically the actual strings. He likes pressing on those). I think I named him after the Clair de Lune?

Calixto Fynderne

2nd year based off of Narcissus, originally for Key’s fanschool PSU but like idk what to do with him lol, he’s neighbours with Lauren (WNA girl based off of Echo) and was her first crush but didn’t work out. Since most of his parasocial fans are girls his age, he’s not very good with women. His favourite food is also not disclosed for related reasons. He’s an awkward kid who loves himself much more than others, but you just need a lot of patience and maybe a bit of masochism to get him to open up www

Cosmo Dorado

1st year for Lizz’s fanschool DIE and based off of the Grizzly Gulch in HK Disneyland. He’s a very happy-go-lucky (emphasis on lucky) kid and honestly I almost had Komaeda in mind while I was making him because his talent is luck (except he doesn’t have the luck cycle that Komaeda does, he’s more like Naegi, though I also based him off of Uno from Nanbaka and unintentionally Orias from Iruma). Another problematic kid that does whatever tf he wants, but he looks up to the dorm head :3c

Claude Avenant

Music teacher and residential manipulative hag of NRC based off of Maestro Forte. Formerly a bigshot in classical music but retired and currently teaching as a bit of a hobby. I think I gave him a cane because Maestro Forte as an organ is bolted to the wall, so a human twisted from him would probably have mobility issues? It probably would have made more sense to make him paralysed to some extent but Maestro Forte is basically part of the room he was in because of all the stuff that’s connected so like???? The only thing that moves is his face and keys???? I don’t know man

Callista Lebeau

Librarian/Teacher at WNA and based off of Belle/Beauty (both Disney and original version). I think I had something I wanted to plan between her and Vargas due to their inspos but it’s been so long I forgor. According to age-old discord messages her sisters are like, guest teachers at WNA from time to time because ✨plot devices✨

[nami-moittli]

Okay, since [3] people liked my post, here’s the charts for my

Though, I will admit, I feel like the shojou influence may lessen after the first group, but oh well. It’s the drama filled romance twst AU.

So, the freshman gang is the main one, along with the only one I bothered to add text in the image itself.

These guys are also the only ones who have any real semblance of a plot going on, and I imagine if this was an actual shojou romance anime, there’d be two seasons, so dynamics get changed and two more characters (Grim and Yuu!) get added into the mix. But I haven’t made that chart yet, so I won’t talk about it unless someone asks

Anyway, Ortho would be the main character here, as she was the reason why I decided to make this AU at all lol. (Btw, she’s 16 just like everyone else here, so don’t worry about it) Epel and her are best friends and as such I decided to give him his own side plot as well!

Since I wanted Ortho and Epel to already be established as best friends, I decided to mash their hometowns closer together, and I also wanted to make them know Vil for awhile too, so Idia, Ortho, Epel, Vil & Jack have all known each other since elementary. The others they only met in HS. Why? It’s probably a really prestigious one like in canon or smth, idk

Bc of this, Epel’s been crushing on Jack since, idk, elementary? Middle school? Awhile now, that’s for sure. Ortho’s been making fun of him for not being able to confess for years now, and he finally decided to ask him out in HS, but by the planned time comes, Oops! He likes Sebek now too! Ortho is understanding, but loves to make references to cringy manga and anime that have love triangles/harems in it. That is, until she falls for both Ace and Deuce, and suddenly Epel can have payback.

There’s definitely more to this, but that’s all I feel like writing about rn for them.

Onto the next ones!

Now this description will have less in it cause I definitely think of these guys the least, but I will say that one love square ends in two couples, and the other in polyamory, so,that’s fun!

Also, to balance out the gender ratio, Jade and Floyd are Jade and Floyd, Riddle, Kalim, Azul, Jamil & Ruggie are all girls. Silver can be the token guy. Or I could change my mind and make her a girl. Idk.

I do have a bit more to say about the juniors tho!

First off, I didn’t know where to fit in Cater & Trey, so they’re kinda just in the background. Maybe Trey & Vil had smth but now Trey and Cater are dating? Idk, but they’re here!

Anyway, back to the exes, yk how I said that Vil, Jack, Idia, Ortho & Epel all knew each other? Yeah, back in middle school, Idia and Vil dated for, around a (school) year (plus summer) I wanna say? Maybe a bit less than that. But in their freshman year they broke up, leaving them not really speaking, then about two weeks later Vil and Leona started dating, so that just kinda rubbed salt in the wound for Idia and he went back to staying in his room 24/7 again. Though he does show up at school more often than his canon counterpart does, I feel. Simply bc this is supposed to be a no magic AU, so flying tablets are a bit harder to get from class to class with lmao

Anyway, after who knows how long, maybe for like 6 months or so? Vil and Leona break up. Not sure how long after that, maybe a month, little more than that? Anyway, then Leona and Malleus date for like, a week? Idk, Leo & Mal remind me of two middle school boys who hate each other, so do with that as you will lol

Second year maybe you could fit in the Trey thing but idk. Anyway, Vil & Rook have been going strong since then, and Idia’s recently gained a crush on Malleus. Shenanigans ensue

The only other thing I’ll note is that Lilia doesn’t attend school with his kids, maybe he’s a teacher? Part-time substitute? Idk, but just like in canon he’s Mal & Silver’s dad (and Sebek’s too lol) and online friends with Idia. So that’s fun!

Anyway, that’s all for now, if anyone wants to know more, feel free to ask!

I have to ask WHY on earth did they turn Flannery into a goldfish??? What did he do to them to make them want to Literally Curse Him??

man. thats a good question. let's see if i have an answer JFKLDSKFLJDS

i'll be real a lot of it was me kinda winging it improv style - i should probs clarify [im not sure how clear i am on artfight lol] that moooost of my non twst characters are like, from a roleplay thing my friend and i do in google docs together kfdsjfl so thats where flannerys from. and then sometimes, plotlines and characters stem from an idea on a whim - like originally i had an idea for flannery to be a lost prince that was turned into a fish by like, enemy hitmen or sometihing.

and tbh that makes more sense than family betrayal LOL but i thiiiiiiiiiink i swapped it to son of a politician and also an influencer [cries lol] because it fit the 'modern au' better. modern fantasy. whatever. also we do have a separate au googledoc universe that IS royalty themed so maybe one day he will be a missing prince there teehee

ok anyway sorry i havent answered your actual question i got distracted lol. so aside from half of it being me coming up with shit on the fly and being kind of bad at storytelling klsjfkdshf the IN UNIVERSE ANSWER is like, flannery kinda just doesnt have a good relationship with his family - his parents suck and flannerys not a "useful asset" and is also the product of infidelity. so it's like, he's not going to be a powerful politician or business guy, he's not good on camera, and also theres this unspoken secret of him being someone else's son <- i think my idea here was like, the father is Aware his wife was having an affair and that flannery isnt his kid but neither of them have Spoken Of It because blah blah keeping up appearances a divorce would be a scandal whatever. you know how it is with traditional family values 😒

and i think i have also just watched a lot of youtube videos covering family vlogger scandals/ also just regular vlogger scandals, and sometimes that shits just wild LOL so i was like ok. politician dad doesnt like or care about this kid, vlogger mom sees his disappearance as months worth of content to milk lol. so they hired someone to Get Rid Of Him - i cant remember if they... planned the fish part. maybe. i guess so? the plan tho was just have him turned into a fish that would probably get eaten and act like he got kidnapped or ran away and then announce hes dead later.

flannery's got an older brother that shows up at his school and is like, a clone of their mom, in that hes like "omg theres this GUY HERE who is PRETENDING to be my DEAD BROTHER i need to live stream this." and then something something their relation was proved and he pivoted immediately to "oh wowwww my poor sweet brother i cant BELIEVE our parents tried to cover you up like this wow i missed u so much let's be besties [lie]"

so anyway. there kind of isnt that a good reason besides drama + theyre in a magical setting and i thought it was fun LOL. flannery's one of my much newer characters so i havent had a lot of time to fully flesh out his character yet. he's a lil one note right now and i need to figure him out a bit more to make him,,,, actually interesting,,, but. 🫡
