This is Part One of my Twst MC!Overblot story for one of my Yuusonas. It's been a long time since I sat down and actually wrote anything, so sorry in advanced for my awful writing. I'm gonna pretty up this post later. I just wanted to get this out. Let me know what you all think and if you are interested in a Part Two!

________________________________________

Tired. He was so tired. No matter how much sleep he got, it was never enough. No amount of naps that Leona suggested he take when he saw the dark circles under the Prefect’s eyes changed anything. No amount of soothing teas Riddle had gifted him in the hopes that it would give him respite helped. Everyone could see that something was wrong with the beloved Prefect of Night Raven. Even Grim had tried to make his hench-human skip a day while the feline monster went to classes for them. Nothing helped.

It wasn’t a tired where he needed more sleep. No. This was a tired that was bone deep. Like an ooze that clung to Yuu’s soul, threatening to suffocate him. Dragging him down into a black pool where he no longer had the strength to fight as he sunk deeper and deeper. He couldn’t focus. He had no appetite. He had no energy. Yet he tried to convince his worried schoolmates that he was alright. He would bounce back. Yuu would muster up as convincing a smile as he could, but his more perceptive friends weren’t convinced.

He was alright. He had to be. A pillar of strength can’t crumble.

It can’t crumble…

“Pup!”

Yuu’s head snapped up. Professor Crewel was before him with furrowed brows and concerned eyes. Glancing next to him, Jack was also looking at Yuu with an equal amount of worry. Sighing and shaking his head of the rest of the fog, Yuu placed down the vial of potion ingredients that he had been unknowingly staring at.

“Sorry, Professor. I got lost in thought,” Yuu apologized with a smile that had too many teeth.

The two magic users didn’t look convinced with the way they quickly glanced at each other, but they didn’t pry.

“It’s fine, Pup. I came to tell you that you are excused for the rest of my class. The Headmage would like a word with you in his office.”

“Oh? Ah… alright,” Yuu stammered before shedding his lab coat and glasses. Grabbing his bag and waving a quick goodbye to his fellow first years and Crewel, Yuu hurried out the classroom - not before hearing in the background Crewel’s signature whip and Grim’s whine that he couldn’t go along with Yuu.

The hallways of Night Raven College with their twists and turns had become familiar to Yuu in the months that he had been there. Friendly portraits that waved or gladly struck up a conversation used to unease the Prefect, but - like everything else in this magical world - he got used to it and now enjoyed it. It was a world of endless discovery beyond the college’s walls and the island it shared with their rival school. A world full of magic, beastmen, fae, ghosts, and who knew what else.

A world… that he didn’t belong in.

“Ah~! There’s our wonderful Prefect! Come in and have a seat!” Crowley enthusiastically greeted once Yuu had entered his office. Said Headmage was seated at his extravagant desk with the portraits of the Great Seven floating above him. Yuu gave a small smile and nod in greeting to the crow-decorated man as he took a seat in front of the desk.

“You wanted to see me, Headmage?”

“Yes, of course! But before that, I can have one of our chefs bring up a snack or a drink for you. Aren’t I so kind?”

Yuu declined the offer. Something was up. The Headmage was known for being a little flamboyant and downright manipulative with his “kindly Headmage'' act. Sure it had helped with some situations that had happened when Yuu’s classmates didn’t want to help solve them, but the entire act was exhausting for everyone. Then again those situations should have been handled by the Headmage instead of his students.

Having Yuu decline his offer, Crowley’s cheerful demeanor sank away into an air of uncertainty. The black mask upon the man’s face made it hard to see what he was thinking, but his slumped shoulders and laced fingers upon his desk made him look… regretful? Hesitant? Crowley let out a deep sigh.

“As you know, I have been looking meticulously for a way to send you back home. Even spending my winter vacation looking into the matter! Every book, every scroll, every tome. Not everyone would be so kind as I to help you find a way back to your world. But-” he let out another sigh, “- I’m sorry, Yuu. There is no way to send you back home.”

Cold dread ran down Yuu’s back and froze every nerve in his body. The words the Headmage spoke punched the air from his lungs and stabbed at his thumping heart. The world around him fell away into a black abyss, ready to swallow him whole.

‘There is no way to send you back home.’

‘There is no way to send you back home.’

‘...no way…back home.’

Again and again those words echoed inside of Yuu. Words that formed a chain to drag him down into hopelessness.

“Not all hope is lost!” Crowley’s words pulled him back to the real world, “I’m not so cruel as to kick you out of this college. You are still one of my precious students! I still expect you to be the first magicless student to graduate from this prestigious school! Of course, if you stay in Ramshackle during summer and winter breaks, I will have you do tasks for me to earn your keep. Aren’t I so kind~?”

Too lost in a daze to understand the words that Crowley spoke, Yuu just nodded and fought back the tears that wanted to run down his cheeks. Seeing the Prefect silent and in shock, Crowley hesitated in what to do next. Clearing his throat, he rose from his chair and went to the large window at the back of his office. He stared out the window to the courtyard of the school below all while tapping his finger on the handle of his cane. The Headmage cleared his throat once more after a moment of silence.

“You are dismissed, Prefect. Take a few days off classes. I’ll inform your professors,” he said, his voice solemn and soft, as if speaking any louder would be a sin.

Yuu’s body felt like lead as he stood. His school bag was all but forgotten as he left the office; his feet dragging with each step.

The bell had rung to signal the end of class, and the hallways of the school filled with students. The mass of people swirled into a mess of colors that Yuu trudged through like an encompassing fog. If anyone said anything to him, he wouldn't have heard them. If they bumped into him, he would just carry on forward like nothing happened. The faces of his fellow students became blank. Nothing. He couldn’t see who was who. He needed to get to Ramshackle. The mass of swirling colors was suffocating him. He couldn’t breathe! Before he knew it, Yuu was running through the hallways and out the front of the school. His lungs burned and his mind raced with nothing but the words the Headmage said to him looping again and again. He made it back to Ramshackle with the door slamming behind him.

Ramshackle was silent. Empty. All there was was Yuu’s own labored breath and pounding heart. The trio of ghosts that Yuu had come to think of as friends weren’t there. They had gone out to do who knows what. It was for the best.

Yuu’s legs shook violently before they gave out. The boy slid down the door until he sat against the wood. His throat tightened and long overdue tears cascaded down his face. Yuu let out a broken sob. Then another. Then another. He hugged his legs to his chest and buried his face in his knees. What was once a silent dorm was now broken by the sobs of its Prefect.

Minutes? Hours? Yuu didn’t know how long he let his sorrow and despair out. When the tears finally dried, any energy that he had left was gone. His limbs felt numb. He felt numb. Getting up wasn’t what he wanted to do. But he needed to. He needed to get to the bathroom to wash his face of any sign of his sorrows. Grim would soon be coming back to the dorm. The golden rays of the setting sun through the windows meant that classes had ended a while ago. Yuu didn’t want Grim to see him like this.

Yuu’s body trembled as he got up. His limbs felt so heavy that he needed the walls to support him. Going up the stairs and to his room was like climbing a mountain. Making it to the bathroom, he leaned over the porcelain sink trying to catch his breath. When he looked up, he saw his face.

Dull, lifeless brown eyes set in a pale and clammy face. His eyes were red and puffy with dark circles under his eyes. Dried trails of tears stained his cheeks. Even his mousy brown hair was limp and dead against his head and neck. Grim may be oblivious sometimes, but even he would know that something was very wrong.

Turning the faucets on high, Yuu washed and scrubbed away any traces of his tears and even hoped that it would rid him of the dark circles. Grabbing a towel, he dried off his face.

“I’m fine. Everything’s okay. I’m fine… I’m fine,” he muttered like a mantra at his reflection, “I’m fine. I’m… fine.”

“Liar.”

The sudden voice shocked Yuu, making him whip his head around to find who it belonged to. His brows furrowed when there was no one else. No Grim. No ghosts. Not anyone.

“How much longer are you going to lie to yourself?” the voice questioned, its tone sharp and bitter. Yuu swallowed down his unease.

“Who’s there? Where are you?” he called shakily.

“Behind you.”

Yuu looked back at the mirror and his eyes widened. What stared back at him wasn’t him. It wasn’t even human despite its silhouette being human shaped. A face nor any defining features could be made out as if the being was made of darkness itself. Drops of darkness fell off of the being like droplets of ink. A pair of white shapes that resembled eyes narrowed at Yuu.

“I’ll ask again: How much longer are you going to lie to yourself?” the being’s voice demanded.

“I’m… I’m not lying. I’m fine,” Yuu answered, his own voice not sounding convincing to his own ears. The being in the mirror didn’t like Yuu’s answer as it slammed its hand against the barrier separating them. The loud bang made Yuu flinch and take a step back.

“Stop lying!” it snarled, “We both know you aren’t fine! You haven’t been fine since you ended up in this place! If ending up in another world wasn’t enough, every single one of them just made it worse!”

“‘Them?’ Who are you talking about?”

“You know who I’m talking about. Every single one of your so-called classmates. Your professors. That annoying feline. That lazy, manipulative man who calls himself the Headmage of this place! That’s who!”

“They’re my friends!”

“Friends?!” the being let out a hysterical laugh before mockingly saying, “Of course they are! What great friends they are to have treated you like dirt beneath their feet before you had to risk your life to even earn an ounce of respect. All because you are a magicless freak from another world!”

“You’re wrong!”

“And don’t forget about the Overblots! How unlucky you have been to be in the center of every single one of them. I suppose lucky for them since you’re the one who saved them. Not bad for a magicless student! You would think they would at least thank you for saving their hides, but nope! Nothing! Too good to apologize to the magicless worm after everything they put you through!”

“Shut up!”

“Let’s recount everything that your so-called friends have done to you, shall we? Mocked you, belittled you, attacked you, stolen from you, roped you into their mess, kicked you out of your own dorm, threatened you, hypnotized you, lied to you, poisoned you, put you through absolute hell, cast spells on you, used you, and to top it all off you are stuck in a world where you don’t belong!”

“Stop it!” Yuu screamed. His labored breaths filled the bathroom. The being’s words were… true.

Everything that it had pointed out had happened in a never ending barrage that assaulted Yuu since the day he was pulled into Twisted Wonderland. It hurt. It grasped at his heart painfully yet he just went about his days as best as he could. They never apologized to him. They never asked him how he was doing. All they did was give him pitying looks or went about their days like nothing happened. Like he hadn’t been hurt by any of it.

Yuu’s lips trembled and his eyes welled with tears once more. He couldn’t do it anymore. He couldn’t be the pillar of strength that he hid behind when the cracks threatened to topple the whole thing down.

“They’re all so selfish, aren’t they?” the being said, its voice quiet and comforting, “You did everything for them. Gave them your heart. Been kind and there when they needed you. You gave them promises that you kept, but they took away your chance to fulfill your first promise. Your most important promise. Your promise to her.”

It was like a shard of ice pierced his heart. Images that he had buried away came back to the front of his mind. A lonely home. A woman with a kind face that morphed into a sunken and sick look. The beeping of monitors. A doctor’s words. The promise Yuu had made.

A promise he now couldn’t keep to the most important person in the world.

“Yuu! Come on! Let’s go to dinner! I’m star-” Grim’s voice cut off when Yuu turned to look at him. The cat monster’s eyes widened and his ears flattened.

Down Yuu’s face dripped black ink.

Been playing Disney Dreamlight Valley since it came out. Recently got Maui added to the Village.

He's not even there for 5 minutes and goes straight to Remy's restaurant. Then I see him at Scrooge's store the rest of the night.

Every time I walk in, the big man is standing behind the counter like he works there. Guess he found out being a demigod doesn't get you free meals at Remy's place. Remy don't care what you are. You want his food, you pay. 😆

Baby!Yona Headcanons

I know that a lot of people have their own personal headcanons for characters in Akatsuki no Yona and even some for the baby!dragons, but what about Yona? Well, it’s 3AM and I have randomly come up with some headcanons for baby!Yona:

1. When Yona was born, the kingdom threw a massive celebration but only certain people could see the newborn princess. This included the leaders of the tribes and they each got to hold little Yona (some had to be more convinced than others).

- Kan Soo-Jin didn’t need any encouragement when he saw Yona’s red hair. Unfortunately as soon as she was in his arms, she screamed as loud as her tiny lungs would allow... which was pretty freaking loud! Soo-Jin then went to sulk.

- Lee Guen-Tae needed a lot more convincing. It wasn’t that he disliked babies, it was just he didn’t know how to react to them. But after getting stared at expectantly by Emperor Il and his ever constant bubbly aura, Guen-Tae finally gave in. He expected to be screamed at like how Soo-Jin was, but was surprised when Yona just stared at him with her head tilted in curiosity. She then smiled and reached out for him, but he panicked and practically threw her into An Joon-Gi’s arms.

- Being the calm and collected person that he is, Joon-Gi’s calm aura spread to Yona and all she did was stare at him blankly. They had a bit of a staring contest before Yona then broke the eye contact with a sneeze. Joon-Gi then gave Yona to Mundok.

- When baby Yona was placed in his arms and he gazed into her big eyes, Son Mundok’s strict demeanor melted away and he teared up. Baby Yona gazed at him in wonder before smiling even bigger than she did with Guen-Tae and reached her chubby arms out to him. Mundok held her the longest and kinda had to be convinced to give her back to her parents. His final thoughts were he needed one now and where could he find one? (cue Hak)

*Collapses onto the floor in exhaustion* 

Jesus Christ, this thing took forever to do. I’ve been working on it for 3 days and I just now finished it (it’s 3 AM where I am).

So, Undertale. I’m in love with the game. The characters are amazing and I love every single one of them. This comic is inspired by the song Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing sung by Set It Off. When I heard the chorus it reminded me so much of Sans in the Genocide Route, so I had to draw it. You can kinda tell with each picture that I get progressively better. I’m so proud of the last one.

Please, give me your honest opinions.

Now then, goodnight. I’m going to get some much needed sleep.

*Flops away* 

[azaleaspirit]

Yes, I have joined the Undertale fandom. It's such a good game and the characters are so memorable and l love all of them. I decided to do a comic dub, since it looked like so much fun and I did have fun making it! I was kinda inspired by someone on Tumblr (http://wullph.tumblr.com/) and their rendition of it was soooooo good! She did this better than I did, but I gave it my own shot. Tell me what you guys think! Comic is not by me! This comic is owned by http://thatonegojimun.tumblr.com/

Anything that causes Thranduil to whip out his “holy shit” face is something you do not want to fuck with.

[azaleaspirit]

Middle Earth's Single Dads

I don't know if Tolkien did this on purpose, but Middle Earth has some seriously awesome single dads. Like, seriously!

Awesome Single Dad #1:

Thranduil: Even if some people don't like the fabulousness that is Thrandy, you cannot deny that he is an awesome single dad. He has to be considering he produced the ridiculousness that is his son, Legolas. Like, seriously, where did Legolas get his gravity-defying, sheild-surfing, and oliphant-slaying awesomeness from? Probably from his equally awesome single dad!

Awesome Single Dad #2:

Elrond: Now, I am well aware that Elrond's wife is still alive and has already gone into the West, but I'm still counting him as a single dad. Not only did he have to raise his three children, but he also raised Aragorn, and who doesn't like Aragorn? I say, Elrond is an awesome single dad since he raised the king of men himself.

Awesome Single Dad #3:

Bard: Oh, Bard. You're the only human on this list, but that just makes you even more awesome! Talk about Dad-of-the-Year with Bard. Not only is this man a dragon slayer, but he also was a serious Papa Wolf when it came to his kids during the Battle of the Five Armies. Like, seriously, don't hurt his kids or you'll regret it!

And finally, Awesome Single Dad #4:

Bilbo Baggins: Okay, yes, Bilbo is only Frodo's uncle, but I'm counting Bilbo as a single dad since he raised Frodo. And did he raise Frodo right! Talk about making a big difference in history! Galadriel was right; even the smallest person can change the future. Bilbo certainly did, and Frodo did too. Like father, like son!
