The story goes as follows: Yuu woke up in a coffin in another world, became a student with a cat after an accident, and solved it. They deal with chaotic school life and overblots, and then go home, and that's the end.
That's how it goes.
That's how Yuu believed it to be.
Except Yuu woke up again in the same coffin, the same scenario repeating before their eyes upon seeing Grim blasted their coffin into a wreck and demanding their robe, feeling as though they just had a long bittersweet dream.
Yuu remembered every moment, every dialogue, and every incident that leads to overblots, so this can't be a dream. Yuu would say that they dreamt of the future. Maybe that's true, but maybe it's also the past.
That's right…
Yuu had finally come to a revelation.
Yuu had woken up at the very beginning of his new life in Twisted Wonderland, complete with the memories of the future.
Yuu was confused. Why? Why did they have to repeat this all over again? Why did time turn back?
Plenty of questions they don't know the answer to.
Despite feeling upset, Yuu had no choice but to go through it all over again, although the only blessing that came to them was in the form of a book hiding somewhere in the library. A way to go home.
If they could find that, maybe they would be able to go home sooner than before. That was their goal. Friends or not, the others could sort their own traumas with each other.
After going through the first overblot Yuu faced, just like before, and then becoming a student, Yuu's first destination was the library.
They leashed Grim out of caution while they're off to search for the book based on the memories they had, ignoring his yelling.
Before Yuu ever had the chance to, Ace and Deuce barged into the library, making quite a racket. And before Yuu knew it, they all were researching about unique plants because Ace said he and Deuce got punished due to messing up their first brewing lesson.
Yuu thought that it's only for a moment, so why not. They can find the book another day since it won't go anywhere.
Following the story of the future, Ace knocked on the door in the middle of the night with a metal collar.
Yuu let him sleep there with no hesitation. There was no need to listen; Yuu knew what happened already. Ace's expression looked a bit strange, though Yuu couldn't fault him, seeing how Yuu didn't even look a little bit curious.
It went the same as they expected after that night; Deuce came in the morning, berated Ace, and then everyone went to Heartslabyul to accompany Ace to apologize, and Cater took advantage of them and blah blah blah.
Yuu was autopiloting, but the moment Trey suggested baking a mont blanc tart, they blinked out of their daydream and suggested to bake another dessert instead of a mont blanc tart.
Trey asked Why not? And Yuu questioned back if mont blanc is allowed during the unbirthday party.
This is where Yuu started to notice there's something wrong. They all looked at Yuu with complicated looks, almost anxious. Some even insisted that the tart is a must at the unbirthday party.
Yuu tried to convince them when they complained about gathering thousands of chestnuts, but it didn't work.
And just like that, the Riddle overblot happened (again).
Yuu was met with this strange phenomenon again after that.
Yuu tried to prevent Trey, Jamil, and the others from the accident before the Spelldrive tournament. But somehow, it still happened. They still had to meet Vil, Rook, and Epel, as well as the Leech twins, no matter how much Yuu said it's Ruggie. It was also inevitable that the Savanaclaw would also bully them in a Spelldrive and the overblot happening.
Every time Yuu wanted to alter it or 'speedrun' it, the others, although some are perfect, weren't able to conceal their expression from Yuu.
Yuu wasn't able to recognize what kind of expression it was since they hid it again. However, Yuu felt dread growing in their guts.
The feelings of uneasiness and fear grew as the story goes on.
Their relationship, along with their expression with the others, felt strange. It felt forced but not really. Sometimes they looked genuine, and sometimes they are not. Their movement looked practiced as if they've done this many times, and their dialogues were the exact same thing from the future memories.
Other than that, Yuu even noticed that Yuu would get dragged out of the library whenever there's an important 'event' to the plot going on by many excuses made by their friends. However, when it was finished, they would go to the library and search for the book.
However, all the free time spent here, Yuu still couldn't find the book even with the aid of the future memories. It looked like the book disappeared out of the shelves.
And so, with a heavy heart, Yuu was unable to go home earlier as they anticipated and had to proceed like normal.
It was just that a thought still lingered in their mind. It was as if someone took the book out…
Something weird is going on.
One day, Yuu was certain that their friends knew what the future held, but then questions arose. For what reason do they reenact the story once more? Why do they pretend? What's the goal of all of this?
Is there something Yuu is missing?
Yuu was still questioning everything even as the final chapter unfolded before their eyes. Except, it's not the way he knew of.
Grim overblotted, scorching the whole room in bright blue flame. The mighty roar shook the room and broke the windows. The shadow of a horrifying beast loomed over all.
Everything is destroyed, and everyone is at the brink of death.
This was not what Yuu experienced before. In that future, everyone is alive. Yuu gets to go home. So what is this? How did this happened?
Another wave of unforgiving flame, and their eyes were blinded by the bright light it emitted before pain overwhelmed their whole body until they felt nothing, only the feeling of being suspended in the air.
Multiple voices, so quiet yet loud, reverberated inside their head, overlapping each other to the point they sounded incomprehensible.

And then Yuu woke up in the same coffin, the start of everything.
Yuu dreamt of their school life and dealing with overblots as well as friends who are so full of deceptions yet so guileless.
Yuu dreamt of hot blue fire burning everything down to ashes and the coffins floating all around the room. The pupil-less glare of a beast scorched deep into their soul.
Yuu remembered every moment, every dialogue, and every incident that leads to overblots, so this can't be a dream. Yuu would say that they dreamt of the future. Maybe that's true, but maybe it's also the past.
That's right…
Yuu had finally come to a revelation.
Yuu had woken up at the very beginning of his new life in Twisted Wonderland, complete with the memories of the future.
Yuu was confused. Why? Why did they have to repeat this all over again? Why did time turn back?
Plenty of questions they don't know the answer to.
But they remembered the future and how it ended. They need to find other ways to solve the overblots and prevent that ending from coming true.
That is Yuu's goal for now.
-----
The concept of this time loop is not when you have many save files with different endings, but you only have one file and you played and saved different endings on it. That explains that Yuu doesn't remember the previous 'story' where he gets to go home instead Yuu remembered the new one. It got overwritten, simply put.
Also, it might be Malleus doing the time turning back because all of them like a happy ending where everyone lives and stuck together. They all remember and pretend to go along because it is still the story/game. Might work for the Yandere theme as well.
OR
Everyone remembered, but they had no choice but to pretend. There are other entities out there (players) watching (playing?) and Yuu is the key to a happy ending and stopping time from turning back and being free.
TCF x ELDEN RING
Petition to make Cale(KRS) suffer by throwing him in the most dangerous place and SURVIVE.
Also, ignore bad lighting and etc. All I see is crossover and my two favourite characters meeting each other.
Here is the one without shadow + texts:
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
Yuu's Misadventure in Twisted Wonderland
-
A lonely coffin lay in the middle of nowhere. It was glazed in a black hue, and elegant golden patterns decorated the lid. Along the designs, a keyhole rested in the middle, while a mirror was positioned where the face would be.
Despite being called a mirror, it strangely emitted a dull white light, flickering like a dying firefly amidst the darkness. Then, without warning, the lid rattled loudly.
Thud, thud, thud!
Someone was trying to open the lid of the coffin to no avail. The lid was too tightly shut, barely a crack could be seen, even though the person inside had been kicking and slamming it with all their strength.
That person screamed for help, crying and begging to be saved and let out of this endless darkness. There was even panting inside as anxiety set in, knowing that the oxygen was limited.
And then—
Bam!
The lid finally slammed open, and a figure sat up with a gasp, taking in big breaths like someone who had nearly drowned.
Their hair was in disarray, their face messy from crying and sweating. Blood smeared their swollen hands, used to try to slam the door open.
Yuu was finally free.
However, they did not know where they were. There were only trees as far as the eye could see, and what seemed to be a track made by a carriage near the coffin.
Why were they in a coffin? Why was there even a carriage in this place and time? Did they fall off? But then why didn’t anyone come to retrieve them? Wait, isn't this human trafficking?
Though baffled and confused by the state they were in, Yuu ultimately decided to seek help and began following the path.
If only they had picked the right way, they would have ended up at NRC, and their new life—though chaotic—would have been better than the other path. But they were slowly heading somewhere else.
Everything went wrong from there.
Yuu learned that this was not the place they were familiar with. The buildings were colorful, each following a certain theme. The people were handsome and pretty, and their hair had various shades as though dyed, but it wasn’t. Somehow, Yuu could sense that it looked natural.
Ironically, Yuu, who looked the plainest, stood out the most among them. The people were alarmed to see a foreign child with dried blood on their hands and a shabby appearance, like a fugitive.
Yuu ran the moment they felt a sense of dread bubbling in their belly. Any attempts at communication failed, not because the people didn’t want to listen or understand, but because they couldn’t understand each other’s language.
This was where Yuu learned about magic. In the midst of running away, they were taken off guard by magic that obstructed their movement and, therefore, were taken to the court of the Queen of Hearts.
(Insert drama here. Will it go like Alice in Wonderland or take a different plot? How will Yuu be treated? No thoughts about Yuu being from a different world since they don’t understand each other’s language.)
Yuu somehow escaped. Finally nourished by the food provided by the jailers, they wandered without direction, only stopping to sleep in the wild with no shelter. The fear of waking up in the Queendom of Roses terrified Yuu.
And then, they entered a new place…
-----
Yuu’s situation involved going to new areas like the Shaftlands, the Scalding Sands, and other regions, encountering all sorts of dangers and predicaments. Some people were kind to Yuu, while others were not.
(Extra points if higher-ranking people, like Leona’s family or Malleus’s grandmother, take a liking to Yuu. Bonus points if Yuu becomes a therapist or friend to the family members of NRC students.)
Yuu took on different roles each time, often the most difficult ones, like a prisoner, a lab rat, a servant, and more.
Yuu’s luck was atrocious, leading them to some of the hardest places to get into on Twst, like the Briar Valley, the Coral Sea, and the Isle of Woe.
There was even a time when Yuu nearly got taken by the Playful Land and almost converted into one of their puppets. But their luck was also unusually good, as they managed to escape each situation—though not without suffering.
Due to their time in the wild and the language barrier, Yuu became a bit feral.
Their final destination would be NRC, where Yuu showed pure animosity toward Dire Crowley. They also met Grim in the wilderness before attending NRC. Because of Yuu's personality, Grim reluctantly became their pet therapy companion and was allowed to attend alongside them.
Didn't play the game but I like it and that's enough. Here's Lamb if he's older. Will draw Narinder one day.
An eagle, a nightingle and a crow walks into a bar:
The crossover that will never happen. Omniscient Reader Viewpoint, Danny Phantom and Honkai Star Rail.
Couldnt decide their colour pallete/designs
I headcanon that Akivili's star rail is formed on the path they walk/flown where the stardust they left became the tracks for the Astral Express and that Akivili can be called as the Guiding Star.
Human ver:
What about Kim Dokja's train? Idk, might be the first Astral Express and Akivili said why not?
Warning: mild spoiler(?)
What are your thoughts if the Minecraft's End poem is applied to the Omniscient Reader's viewpoint? I thought that some parts of the poem just hits hard and would inspire a new story due to their similarity. I just thought it fits the Yoohankim vibe, you get me?
That part of the poem is this one:
And the universe said I love you
And the universe said you have played the game well
And the universe said everything you need is within you
And the universe said you are stronger than you know
And the universe said you are the daylight
And the universe said you are the night
And the universe said the darkness you fight is within you
And the universe said the light you seek is within you
And the universe said you are not alone
And the universe said you are not separate from every other thing
And the universe said you are the universe tasting itself, talking to itself, reading its own code
And the universe said I love you because you are love.
And the game was over and the player woke up from the dream. And the player began a new dream. And the player dreamed again, dreamed better. And the player was the universe. And the player was love.
You are the player.
Wake up
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."
Never really improve my drawing or colouring but here you go anyway. Drew Danny cuz of Dc x dp. Its really a fun place to explore.
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.
glad that im not popular enough to have an evil shadow version of my blog that exists just to make contradictions on my posts
