New World, New Scars (pt 2)

sometimes I think about how brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collard greens, savoy cabbage, kohlrabi, and gai lan are all the same species, and i understand why biologists are constantly furious about taxonomy

Crossover Ideas pt 3

Warning: Might contained mild spoilers

Not really a crossover but more of a Random Drawing but still, they intersect and I might as well come up with one.

Mahoutsukai No Yome/The Ancient Magus Bride X TCF

TCF X ORV X Lord Of The Mysteries.

Deliberately put full name so you guys can check that out lol.

Also, been trying to improve my digital art especially my colouring and shadows+light but i still sucks so thats there.

Do you guys ever see two characters or more who have similar features and immediately yelled "Theyre Related!"? Thats me, folks.

The Ancient Magus Bride (TAMB) is kinda underated in my opinion. I recommended you guys to read it since it dealt with faes, dragons, Gods and something similar.

Not necessarily the same as TCF world but at least its peaceful as long as Chise Hatori the MC doesnt jump into the problem or the problem find her.

I think Cale in TAMB world would be a great idea, he can play the role of Chise's ancestor or something since she mentioned her hair colour might came from ancestors in the western. Chise's sense of preseverance also matched Cale but shes learning and also, they both are beloved by non humans.

-

Lord Of the Mysteries (LOTM) is a masterpiece to me. world building and characters goes brrr. Klein Moretti the MC big brain matched Cale's followed by fooling people and the whole story radiate ORV vibe. Villain is top tier, the abilities of different paths too. Theres just too much info + plot twists in LOTM but its a great story.

Either ORV x LOTM or TCF X LOTM, they both are still good. but for the latter, itd be funny if Cale join the Tarot Club and messed around in the LOTM world especially if he got an extinct creature around him. (if you know, you know) or that he was thrown way back in the past of LOTM world and he somehow got recorded in history.

He either got a cult forming for him or some gods wanting to take him. His relationships with certains gods can either be buddy-buddy or 'f*ck you, God. I do whatever I want'.

In other word, hes a menace to everyone

TWST story idea (3)

Warning: Death and mild spoiler alert

Ace, Deuce, and Grim witnessed Yuu's death. It was horrible, traumatizing even. The vision of their death haunted them and played repeatedly in their minds, even as the monster in the dwarf mine was defeated.

They saw the way Yuu slowly succumbed to death from a front-row seat. The pickaxe impaled them in the middle of their chest with a sickening noise, slicing it open and splattering everything that wasn't supposed to be outside.

Yuu screamed as blood gushed out of their mouth continuously, "Kill it! Kill it quickly!"

They were terrified to move. Yuu's eyes slowly lost their light, staring at them.

It was too much; they barely remembered how they defeated the monster. However, they knew they truly defeated it because the monster's ink-like blood covered their uniform and stained their skin.

They returned to NRC with complicated feelings and a bloody magestone in hand.

How else were they going to explain that Yuu was dead? That it was their own fault that led to Yuu's death?

They confessed to the headmaster with a trembling voice filled with regret and sorrow, their eyes puffy with tears as they presented a bloody magestone stained with ink.

Only for Yuu to rush in through the door with an exasperated look.

"Hey! Why did you guys leave me behind?"

"H-huh? What?"

"Why are you here!?"

"Aren't you dead???"

An offended look crossed Yuu's face, "Guys, this isn't funny. After what we've gone through? Are you saying you want me dead?"

They got confused. Yuu is alive? But they just witnessed their death not too long ago, yet Yuu is here and fine? Sure, their uniform is tattered and also bloody…

They bring it up to Yuu, and Yuu scoffs, "What? You guys got so scared you started to hallucinate? As you can see, I'm still alive."

They spend the rest of the day thinking that maybe they did hallucinate; otherwise, it wouldn't explain why Yuu is still here.

They witnessed Yuu's death again when Riddle overblot. Trey was too slow to save Yuu, and Yuu got smashed to a pulp by the rose tree that the monster held. There was nothing left that resembled Yuu, just flesh and bones flattened on the ground with hair sticking out.

The trio screamed in horror, remembering the tragedy that may or may not have happened in the mine dwarf. Cater was taken off guard and went green at the grotesque sight, covering his mouth to stop himself from vomiting. Trey gasped, feeling a lump in his throat. He had locked eyes with Yuu just a few seconds ago and failed to do anything to save them.

When Riddle woke up in a daze, everyone around showed complicated expressions. The trio looked like they wanted to throttle Riddle, their faces full of animosity. Cater looked detached and was now pale. He was also standing still and spacing out, which was unlike him. He looked like he was trying to process something.

And Trey, Trey looked at him like he was disappointed and also regretful. His eyes were rather glassy, and his mouth opened and snapped shut repeatedly, gulping in between as though he couldn't decide what to tell him.

"You overblot, and Yuu… is dead."

It wasn't the greatest news to listen to when he wasn't aware of what he had become and had done. Riddle's face immediately morphed to horror before bawling and mumbling in between sobs about how sorry he was and how he didn't mean to.

"Guys, the headmaster is here!" yelled Yuu while panting from running, Crowley, the headmaster, followed behind them, looking worriedly at his surroundings and the victims.

In an instant, everyone's eyes went round with confusion and shock, as if they had seen a ghost. Then there were shouts, hugs, and other things.

Yuu huffed at their exclamations of seeing Yuu dead again. "Again? You guys need to see a doctor. I'm not sure why the others see me dead as well. I'm clearly alive."

"But, but—you were there!"

"Yeah, and then I went to fetch the headmaster! You guys are seeing things; I'm worried about you. You need to rest or something. It could be your imaginations and fear working together."

Despite their attempts to explain, Yuu merely cast a worried and slightly judgmental look toward them.

Yuu didn't believe them at all, and they began to doubt themselves.

This happened to multiple people. Some even said they saw Yuu fall to death, and when they came to check out, Yuu merely sprained their leg or broke a bone or two. Or when Yuu said theh knew how to fake their death when they got squeezed until their lips turned blue and breathed out their last breath as they went limp. The story of how they saw Yuu dead varied in so many ways.

And just like before, when one confronted Yuu about it, Yuu didn't believe them all, dismissing their sick sense of fun in murdering Yuu and told them to see a doctor, not taking their so-called traumatization of getting exposed to Yuu's death into consideration. They're losing their mind at this. They were not even alone in this, so what could be the reason they keep seeing Yuu's 'death'?

Could this be someone else's unique magic, or a disease that slowly affects Twisted Wonderland? Are they really that sick in the head to the point they imagine this?

It must be; there's no explanation to this mystery.

But the twist is this: Yuu got revived almost immediately, and all wounds will be healed, revealing no scars, and therefore, no evidence.

Yuu is fully aware of this, and they don't want to tell someone. So what did Yuu do when people happened to witness their death? They gaslight them all, and goddamn they nailed it. Sure, the others are spiraling into madness, but hey, Yuu's secret is safe.

Extra spice if they got really sick in the head and attempt to murder yuu just to prove something. Yuu either do like they always do or fake being a dead body until they got disposed of and then go far away just in case.

TWST Story Idea (16)

It happened in an instant.

Yuu woke up in a coffin, gasping in desperation and fear. The darkness swallowed him whole, rendering him unable to see.

Escaping that coffin when it was set ablaze by a cat-like monster marked the first adventure for Yuu.

Yuu's first reaction to this new world was like a child setting his gaze upon a brightly lit Christmas tree, eyes sparkling with bright lights and stars.

It was wonderful, colorful, and out of this world. It was like a dream.

His limbs trembled when he stepped into the new world, hands lifted before his eyes as though to question if everything was real.

And it was real. What Yuu felt and experienced was enough to tell that it's all real, and that was enough for him for wanting to stay even though it was just an abandoned ramshackle dorm, far from the luxury he had ever known.

He felt alive as magic burst like fireworks and danced to a rhythm his new friends orchestrated. Even if Yuu was magicless, he was happy all the same.

While it's true that his new life was sometimes faced with foes, obstacles, and antics caused by his friends, he didn't mind it at all. This is what he thought normal life should be like.

The pain that was inflicted on him, he cherished those as well. Perhaps it's strange to keep them as a reminder for most people, but for Yuu, it's not.

Maybe it's borderline crazy or just some weird coping mechanism.

Even if at some points he was asked by his friends about it, Yuu, whose being had been exposed as an anomaly for being magicless and from another world, could only smile.

Let it be his only secret.

Call him a weirdo, call him any other unusual names so hurtful and all Yuu could do is laugh like it was the funniest thing in the world.

And Grim, beloved Grim. Naughty and spoiled, he truly cherished his furry companion. The warmth he emitted and the annoying yet endearing personality.

It can be said that he made Yuu's life even better than before.

What Yuu experienced here was something that he yearned for but could never say out loud. It's not that he didn't have the freedom to do so. It was just the weight of his words was so burdensome.

He let his same wish go out with a puff to every birthday candle snuffed, watched as his hope grew and perished and began anew. The small piece of cake in his mouth tasted bland every year he forced himself to eat.

It was only now that his wish had been heard and granted and he wanted to stay here for eternity where he could live without being scared and weak.

He wanted to have fun every day. He wanted to laugh and eat food that had never been so delicious in his whole life before. He wanted to wake up in his home with Grim snuggling by his side and greet his friends with smiles without worry.

He wanted to do what he couldn't do, to try everything even if he failed miserably, to run and to dance, to explore and feel and wear the most luxurious clothes without the Swords of Damocles dropping over his head at any moment.

He wanted to cry but he had already cried enough, he wanted to smile twice as much without faking it.

He stayed and stayed… . . . …and stayed.

Until what happened during Idia's overblot and Malleus's shook his peaceful life. The seed that was left behind without any water and light burst open from its coat. The plants branched out at the tragedies unfolding before his eyes, poking deep inside his head and heart where he kept the darkness sealed.

It touched the parts Yuu wanted to hide. The dream he lived in wavered and the truth bared its fangs, glinting threateningly.

Yuu began to miss home.

He missed his family who was always by his side, through sorrow and pain, without fail. Even if he knew that they were also a bit unwilling to see him some days.

But Yuu understood. He had no choice but to do so.

Yuu knew his wish was very selfish. Maybe that's why the Blue Fairy didn't grant it at all because Yuu was hesitant in his heart. Because granting that wish meant he had to let go, never to see them again.

It's true that he wished to be happy, never to worry about a thing.

But he also wished that they could be happy too. Together or without…

For the first time in his new life, nothing felt the same anymore. Every adventure had Yuu thinking of his family.

It was not fun anymore.

And Yuu, who wished for things to stay like this forever, finally grew up. A person who used to fit with his peers like puzzles or like a Mad Hatter to Wonderland became Alice who wanted to go home.

He was out of place and out of time.

His heart kept yearning for unreachable things but the first wish was granted so what's wrong with keeping hope that another will be granted as well?

That's what Yuu did and he was back to square one.

Truly, he was a very pitiable person from the beginning.

He kept wishing and wished and wished–

–until Yuu woke up with a gasp, eyes blown wide open only to shut tightly when bright lights penetrated his vision.

A familiar scent of sterilization invaded his nose followed by a numb sensation in all limbs.

People in white coats surrounded his bed while holding certain devices that must have aided in bringing him back to life if the heart monitor that began to stabilize was any indication.

Although muddle-headed, his gaze managed to spot Grim, his beloved doll that was sewn terribly and barely resembled a cat. He was slumped next to the books filled with fairytales set on the desk next to his hospital bed.

Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty, and so on…

Yuu knew long ago what it meant to wake up in that coffin.

He was well aware that Twisted Wonderland is just another name for Neverland and Neverland is just another word for the afterlife, where the lost boys go and never grow up until the end of time.

He was ready to accept it but in the end…

He had made another wish and whispered it to the wishing star for the Blue Fairy to hear. A wish similar to Geppetto's yearning for a child, and in respond, Pinocchio, who was made of wood, was brought to life.

And he was indeed back to life. Back to the reality that he was reluctant to face every morning. Back to being a burden, stuck in the bed with white walls and limbs that couldn't move and senses that dulled over time as he festered in that place.

And it's all because Yuu didn't want to see his family cry over his coffin.

Yuu wanted to live even if it was painful. At least, until he's the only one left.

It was closest to a Happy Ending that Yuu could think of for a story like his, one that was truly fitting for a very selfish person.

Random Drawing Urge (5)

Just got into 'I Became A God In A Horror Game' novel and Im loving every second and every chapter.

The mc, Bai Liu possessed a lore that kickdropped me on the face and dropped me off the tower and then proceed to grab my heart and squish it so hard and then gently kiss it before eating it up.

The flow of story is nice, Bai liu got a big brain and a menace to the world. there might be some confusion somewhere in the story but it will eventually got explained.

(This story got ORV + TCF vibe to me.)

This crazy, indifferent, money loving bastard that took in stray dogs is my comfort character now so I decided to make a fanart of Bai Liu since I havent seen a lot of it.

Design based on the Bai Liu I saw on the pinterest.

New world, new scars (pt1?)

Tried to make a short story with Grim's pov. sorry if its ooc. this is an au. this yuu is not the same as "uncanny and unknown Yuu"

-

Once upon a time, Grim had a dream. He wanted to be the greatest mage in the world. He waited for the black carriage, but it never came for him.

He waited and waited, but there was no sign of them coming, so he came to the night raven college himself.

-

Grim got himself into trouble on the first day he got there. He knew that the people there wouldn't accept him, so he tried to snatch a robe from one of the students in the coffin.

He didn't manage to, and now he was chasing after him, which led to getting caught by the headmaster.

The next thing he knew, he was in the mirror chamber, and the student he wanted to steal his robe from was declared magicless.

"A mistake"

"You weren't supposed to be here."

Grim thought he saw how the magicless student tried to make himself smaller when murmurs began, but Grim never cared about him. What Grim cared about was that there was a vacant spot. He will take that spot. He will replace him.

To do that, he has to show how much he is worth.

In an instant, the whole room was full of bright blue flames, sending people into frenzies. no doubt because they were in awe at the huge flame he made! It means he's powerful!

He heard a painful yelp and something cooking somewhere in the crowd, but he was too busy to care about something like that. He looked at the rest, waiting to be validated and ready to be acknowledged as a new student.

That's how it goes, isn't it? the strong over the weak? He had shown them what he was capable of.

That didn't happen. He was collared and kicked out of the school.

-

Grim slipped in again, and he saw a house so dilapidated that there couldn't possibly be anyone else living there. only, there is someone there.

The magicless student. His robe singed, and there was an unmistaken scent of burnt flesh and blood. He was standing in the middle of the room, looking lost, tired, and downright miserable.

He decided to come in.

-

So many things happened after that. That guy is a stupid thing. He's more scared of his fire than the ghosts! It should be another way around, but Grim isn't complaining that much when he helped him shoo the ghosts away.

And then the headmaster came. One thing led to another, Grim, and that new henchman of his had become a janitor.

He managed to get into the school, but not as a student. It was not his ideal position, but he had no choice, even if he complained loudly. His henchman could only nod, helpless and weak.

The only good thing he does is give Grim food and a place to sleep, and that just made his new life with the magicless henchman a bit bearable.

-

The morning comes, and Grim has a job to do. Well, not him, but his henchman. He would rather watch than do this stupid useless work. His henchman said something, but Grim is the boss in this relationship, so he doesn't need to listen to him.

His henchman quieted down, meekly sweeping the pavement with the broom given to him while Grim entertained himself with the statues and that newcomer who introduced himself as Ace Trappola.

He was nice, until he wasn't.

Cruel remarks left Ace's mouth, a mocking sneer etched on his face. Grim anger grew. His henchman tried to talk and make peace, but he was an idiot.

His henchman wasn't helpful at all. Words won't do anything. He needs to fight back!

He doesnt. And so Grim takes the lead, sending a bunch of fireballs at Ace. Ace retaliated even more, sending the flame away and everywhere with his wind magic.

His henchman took a few steps back, hiding behind the statue. Away from sight, away from mind. Grim disliked his choice and personality.

One of the flames is heading to Grim's direction. He didn't see his henchman reach out from behind him, and Grim dodged at the last minute while complaining.

"Why do I have to be stuck with a magicless guy!?"

Said person froze in place, and then the fireball hit his face.

The smell of burning intensified. His henchman swallowed his scream by gritting his teeth. And yet, somehow, it pierced the silence as Grim and Ace stood still while watching him curled on the pavement. His bloody hands cradled half his face.

The headmaster came, and he was understandably furious, but the henchman unexpectedly begged not to suspend them.

"It was my fault. This is what I deserved."

They both tried to protest when the headmaster punished them before leaving to guide the poor henchman into the infirmary.

-

When his henchman came back, half his face was covered by bandages, his smile was tight, and his hands trembled when he approached Grim.

"The headmaster said to look after you, and you shouldn't ditch your punishment," he said after a while, never looking him in the eye.

Grim defended himself, "It was not my fault. You said it was you. You should do it instead."

Grim ran off before he said anything. He does not want to be stuck all day doing janitor work. He is the great Grim after all. He must not stoop so low.

Grim heard his henchman chased after him. It goes from one pair of feet to two to three pairs of feet. His henchman somehow managed to drag Ace into chasing after him and involving a random guy by the name of Deuce.

Grim jumped on a chandelier in an effort to escape; Deuce threw Ace at him, and both fell down along with the chandelier.

There was a crash, Grim's vision fading in and out. He thought he smelled blood wafting in the air, but when he was brought to reality, everyone was fine. They got caught by the headmaster again, but fine.

The scent still lingers in the air, and it took him time to realize it was there because the source was following him.

Grim told his henchman to wash up because he smelled dirty. The henchman winced in response. He murmured sorry with his head down and took a step back.

-

Because of his henchman and those two idiots he brought with him. He was forced to get involved and find the magestone in a dwarf mine to compensate for their mistake in destroying the chandelier.

He did not like ghosts, nor did he like the dark, but he wouldn't admit that. He is the great Grim after all. He doesn't have weaknesses!

His paws slowly reach out to cling onto his henchman's pants, only for the henchman to flinch away from his touch. One eye blown wide opened in fear and mouth slightly ajar before it snapped shut.

Blue eyes met his in confusion, and the henchman immediately averted his gaze.

-

There's a monster in the mine. More fearsome and powerful than him. Grim is scared, but he fights back even as they all dash to find a way out.

He's not like his henchman, who only knows how to hide, run, and attempt to talk to calm things down; this is why he must fight.

When they escaped, the two idiots fought. One wants to leave, and another wants to go back and take the magestone, so they cannot get expelled.

His henchman tried to settle them down after their heated argument. He gets pushed, and he falls down so easily. His palms grazed by the tiny sharp rocks. He's so weak that his body shook like a leaf blown by the wind, and his eyes were filled with fear, but he was awfully adamant about getting that magestone.

He begged to be heard, and they listened, even though they were unwilling.

-

The plan succeeds. The monster died, and they cheered. Everyone is relieved, but no one is more relieved than the henchman.

Grim didn't point that out. He has something important to take care of.

Grim gobbled up the black magestone he found on the dirt, and everyone watched as he did so. Only those two idiots said something about it.

-

Their troublesome tasks were rewarded much to Grim's delight. He is a student now, though he shares the same position as his henchman but that is bearable. His dream is getting closer!

Grim wanted to brag about the magestone the headmaster gave him to his henchman, so he approached him so he could take a look at it as well.

His henchman took a step backward, and he didn't meet his eyes.

Grim huffed at his expression and bragged it to the others instead.

-

That night, Grim ate a hearty meal while the henchman ate a little. He could smell a strong flowery scent on him when he finished showering, and when it was time to sleep, the henchman decided to sleep on the floor while Grim slept on the bed.

Grim looked down at him from the edge of the bed. The henchman was curling up in his sleep with no blanket or pillow.

Grim didn't say anything and decided to settle himself on the other side of the bed.

If there was a subtle scent of salt, he didn't mention it in the morning.

-

That was the first two days when he met Yuu, his henchman. It was also one of the most memorable moments he had with Yuu.

He had the weirdest name that sounded like you, and he was more trouble than he was worth.

Sure, they are all trouble, but his henchman makes it worse.

It was not their fault that he was hurt. He was simply too weak and too slow; he couldn't avoid the attack. Yuu can't say no to odd jobs that the headmaster gave or to anyone in particular.

And if Grim said no and then changed his answer, then that just means he's good at negotiating.

Overall, Yuu just don't belong here. That was Grim's thought, and it will always be every time the henchman gets picked on and returns back with bruises, blood, and a limp.

Yuu was useless and pathetic, as well as an idiot who always tried to talk their way out of a fight when it should be clear that they needed to be dealt with fighting.

If his henchman were in the wild, where Grim used to live, he wouldn't survive at all, so it was a good thing you had Grim beside Yuu and fought back for him. He is the Great Grim's henchman, after all.

-

Grim always peered down from the bed every night and watched Yuu fall asleep. There were tears streaming down Yuu's cheeks, and this doesn't surprise Grim anymore.

But Yuu were always quiet when he shed tears. Too quiet that Grim wouldn't know he was crying if it weren't for his scent of salt wafting in the cold air.

His figure started looking smaller and smaller as the night went on.

Grim always wondered why he cried.

-

He tried to sleep on the floor with Yuu one night. It was very cold that night, he reasoned with himself.

The floor thumped lightly under his weight, and his henchman suddenly jolted awake and recoiled away from him in a matter of seconds, like an instinct.

Grim saw the same thing in his eye.

Grim frowned and said, "Whaddya get scared for?"

"I'm sorry" was Yuu's response.

-

Ace and Deuce were Grim's, and also his henchman's friends. Thats what Grim thinks, but Grim thinks friends is not what Yuu would call them since he barely opened up with them.

Yuu dislike Ace's terrible pranks and his hurtful jabs that ace said were jokes.

Yuu dislike the violent tendencies that pop up once in a while and sometimes accidentally on the receiving end.

Still, Yuu followed them even as his hands trembled against his will. They are both rough with Yuu, but Yuu won't speak up about how ugly bruises began to decorate his whole body.

Yuu would rather hide it and shut up. And if asked, he lied.

Grim didn't say anything to the two idiots, but he joined in the fun, and they received scratches.

-

Grim remembered the time when they all got stuck together, which eventually got dubbed friendship. It was when Ace got collared and they met Riddle, the teapot tyrant, along with Trey and Cater.

His henchman looked a bit comfortable with Trey, but it was the opposite for Cater. Yuu didn't really trust him, but he still couldn't say no to the suggestion to take a picture together.

Yuu's smile is rather ugly, and he was so out of place. His henchman apologized many times for making the picture ugly. Cater said it was fine, but Yuu still think about it.

-

Yuu's behavior toward Trey shifted when they needs his help to make a chesnut tart. Trey tricked and lied about the simplest thing. He then talked about his unique magic, and Grim witnessed that his henchman's face suddenly went even more pale.

Yuu suddenly acted like everything he was walking on were eggshells in a matter of seconds. He had a hard time eating the food Trey made, so he gave it Grim.

Grim ate his treats with a full belly.

He heard Yuu's stomach growled loudly that night.

-

If Yuu had magic and a dorm, there's a high chance that he might be Riddle's favorite person. Yuu submitted too easily when he was confronted by Riddle. Yuu apologized like his whole life depends on it, and said he would make up for it. For himself and for Ace and Deuce.

Yuu said he would do anything. Just let them go.

When Riddle left, pleased at Yuu's groveling, Ace gets mad, and his voice is loud as he berated Yuu. Deuce looked at Yuu in disapproval and concern and Grim wanted to yell at his henchman.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

His henchman cried out, "I'm sorry. im sorry. im sorry."

His henchman is really weak. He decided to cry instead of fighting back.

-

There was an overblot. Things are never peaceful with the idiots he was forced to get along with. Some days are fun, but this was not one of them.

It was just like before. The monster is stronger than him. Grim is scared, but he still fights back, even if it doesn't affect him.

Yuu still hides, tempting to run away.

Grim, and the other two kept an eye on him.

-

The monster disappeared. They managed to save Riddle. Everyone gets out of this fight with a mild scratch, bruises, and dirty clothes.

His henchman didn't do anything, and he came out with a broken arm and a small branch stabbed into his side.

Yuu was out of view, like he didn't want to be found. His cries are quiet as always, and his face is weary as he lets out a stuttered breath while nursing his wound.

Grim heard what Yuu murmured underneath his breath when he approached him.

"He has friends… How nice… How nice that someone cared for you."

Grim called for Ace and Deuce instead of confronting whatever he meant.

-

Going to the infirmary would be the norm if it weren't for Yuu actively avoiding it.

When one urges him to go, he will be hesitant to drink the limited healing potion, preferring to find the simplest first aid and bandages.

Grim remembered asking why, and his henchman replied that he didn't want to be more in debt with the headmaster.

"And be more of a baggage? How's your going to run with a twisted ankle? You know I can't always protect you." Grim had replied sassily back then.

He almost missed the way his henchman stood rigidly with a terrified expression. The healing potion held tightly in his grip.

Grim didn't see Yuu taking it, but Yuu looked okay after that. Yuu can run even though he is slow and almost falls.

Yuu's face had been wincing in pain, but he can still keep up with Grim, and that's all that matters.

but Yuu was here again, terribly hurt than before. The blood gushed and Yuu wanted to go back while they treated him. Yuu didn't want to trouble them, but Ace and Deuce protested that he should rest here.

Grim saw that Yuu struggled to say something, but the words died down in his throat. Yuu nodded hesitantly.

They leave him there to recuperate that night.

-

The next day, Yuu was in an even more terrible shape. The blood soaked through, and the makeshift splints and bandages are all ruined. A new bruise bloomed on his face and peeking out of his wrinkled shirt.

There was even blood coming out of his nose that smeared on the lip's area, like Yuu tried so hard to erase it. But even if he did succeed, the blood on the collar would tell them.

"I fell. I'm sorry for troubling you," he said with cracks in his voice. He sounded ashamed, afraid, and so on.

They don't believe that, of course. They all knew what a bruise from falling looked like.

Ace and Deuce told Riddle, who wanted to mend their relationship and be a better person, and now those bullies got punished and collared. Ace and Deuce didn't pass the chance to beat them up in their own ways. Brutally.

Grim thinks he finally knows why Yuu follow them of all people.

Crossover ideas 1

TCF x TWST

(Spoiler alert. Beware)

Yall know that Lilia Vanrouge raised Malleus Draconia so I raised you this question: What happened when he meet Cale Henituse who also raised a baby dragon?

They both are father-shaped, a general/commander of war, a trusted friend of a royalty, you see the point.

I just wanna see some crossover between my beloved story/game and I do not have the skill to write a story. I only have idea.

I think its neat to put Cale in TWST world. Hes so lovable that small and big fairies alike just latched onto him even though he have such villainous traits thats barely shown unless someone mess with his loved ones. Just like a cat lounging around lazily but had no problem fcking you up.

The senate is gonna be fcked and got their golds looted or something because Cale is a scammer and got that Dominating aura and everyone keep mistaken him as a dragon.

Lilia is going to be his best friend or a platonic partner or something since they both are similars in so many ways. Look, they both have a dragon as their kid. It's perfect. let them raised them together.

Meleanor is 100% approved cuz she hates the senates and Cale did a great job giving a big middle finger at them.

Just imagined how he got dropped into this world out of the blue, cursing loudly at the gods like a sailor or just quietly seething cuz Raon is with him. Maybe he got dropped during a war, or infront of Lilia and perhaps Meleanor.

But anyway, everyone is watching him with surprise and with the intensity of the sun at what Cale, a stoic, pretty and a slender man, carrying so preciously and tenderly in his weak arms.

Its a dragon! A baby dragon!

Can you imagine the chaos? The misunderstanding? Like Raon, although his form is different than Meleanor's dragon form, he is by far most similar to her, minus the purple colour. It could be said a slight changes in characteristic due to different species of a father.

In other eyes, they probably mistaken him as the heir or that they dont know that Meleanor had two children and began to plot.

And then Raon, offended that they think he's someone elses son, pointed at Cale and said, "He's my father."

Que, everyone thinking he's a dragon or that Meleanor actually have two husbands and had hidden one. Meanwhile, Lilia here is trying to jog his memories if she ever told him about this or hes just forgot.

Or maybe Cale got send here and Raon at random place and Raon just coincidentally got dropped at the egg chamber. Everyone just thought that the egg had hatched even though its not.

Raon either admit or commit to the bit, just like Cale. Gonna trick them thinking hes the heir to the briar valley while he put this egg here inside his personal storage dimension and he latched to this one person that reminded him of Cale which is Lilia.

Lilia is sus but he had no evidence. Like, Raon is powerful alright and he's the only baby dragon here. he's also smart, but okay. The only reason he believed hes Meleanor's son is because Raon is so rebellious to the senates and they cant do anything because hes too smart and can obliterate them in one go.

And thats all, really. Dont have any ideas now. Thanks for reading this.

do you ever think about how little Michelangelo cared

TWST story idea (8)

Inspired by a certain beast tamer Yuu post from a long time ago. Can't remember the name, sorry.

Yuu got called a beast tamer, but the only beast they have is Grim. Comparing to Kalim, who has a whole zoo, and Rook the Hunter, who has tendencies to attract animals, as well as Riddle with his hedgehogs and flamingos, the title beast tamer should have been handed to either three of them instead of Yuu.

It was a joke. Yuu knew it the moment Crowley called them a beast tamer, perhaps to flatter them into accepting a job or something, but no matter, Yuu is a joke in everyone's eyes.

Yuu is getting sick of getting asked if they have any animals or why they are called a beast tamer and so on. They don't know how to answer those, even if they do, it's not like it's going to improve their situation anyway.

Pissed off and feeling very petty, Yuu decided to tackle this the only way they know how. All those games are not for nothing, and Yuu ks going to put it to good use. Yuu is prepared for this. The time has come, and Yuu will not stand still when they are questioned again.

Yuu is gonna catch 'em all!

Yuu immediately goes on an adventure to snatch some monsters in the wilderness, and what do you know? Yuu is really a beast tamer. The monsters they brought home speak volumes.

"What's that? Oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the purring of my gigantic chimera right next to me. Simply put, f*ck off!"

"How did I find Cerberus? I rowed myself to the underworld, you f*cker! Don't you dare call him fake! Go eat him, Cerby!"

"Oh damn. My phoenix set someone on fire. Hey, hey! It's going to be alright, I heard the phoenix is a bird of rebirth. You're going to be fine."

"Yes, I have a griffin, yes, I have a unicorn, a pegasus, a basilisk, and also yes, I have a bunch of normal animals too. You know what I don't have? Thaumarks. Pay up, b*tch. I need to feed my babies."

It goes without fail that a different beast will accompany Yuu and Grim to class, and due to this, it's not that easy to approach Yuu anymore. The beasts are effective bodyguards. There are no more jokes about a beast tamer; Yuu is the real deal now.

The boys could go deal with school and overblots; Yuu is gonna do the equivalent of farm life in the ramshackle dorm.

A different outlook would be instead of taming beasts, Yuu tamed people instead. Yuu is getting sick of these rude people so they decided to make the bullies their 'pet'.

Savanaclaw is the first victim since most unruly and undisciplined students came from here. Since this is a dorm filled with beastmen, naturally, power rules the weak is a norm.

Yuu did something that straight-up made the Savanaclaw students docile and obedient through incredible violence, harsh discipline, and volcano-like anger. The students that followed Yuu were either full of simps or simply out of fear or respect.

Second would be Diasomnia and Yuu obtain them without lifting a finger, believe it or not. Malleus is already wrapped around Yuu's finger since the beginning, if the respected housewarden and heir to the Briar Valley is like this, it only prompted the others to follow Yuu as well. They will treat Yuu like royalty. Simply put, Yuu got the whole package without asking.

…

Couldn't decide who's next. My brain ain't braining anymore. For those who wish to use the prompt, do tag me please. I want to read.

Sun Tzu is so fucking funny to me because for his time he was legitimately a brilliant tactician but a bunch of his insight is shit like "if you think you might lose, avoid doing that", "being outnumbered is bad generally", and "consider lying."
