Redesign of Osana Najimi and Raibaru Fumetsu for my Galatea AU!

The uniforms are changed as well!

Presenting Ousa Nakajima/shima, during her first year, and Raimu Fumetsu, during her second year. They met during the end of the third semester and their friendship deepened when they moved up a year. Ousa is taller than Raimu and gifted her the orange friendship bracelet to match her yellow one.

They both share the same scrunchies, but have different style ribbons with Ousa wearing a thinner bow and Raimu wearing it like a cloth headband (reminiscent to what the martial arts club wears).

Note: I tweaked the colors on Raimu since I made them too muted in her initial post and gave her brighter eyes!

"you dont have to sacrifice your work because yandev is a shit person. he was a bad guy before and he will always be - as long as you disassociate your work from him, i see no problem with continuing it!"

...

It's tempting so i'll think about it! Thank you for being very considerate in your response, it put my mind at ease

I really hate to do this, but after the confirmation of everything that's been happening? I'm probably gonna try to distance myself from the series, Yandere Simulator. I've put in too much work in my au, though, so anything i post is just for my own thing. I never supported the dev behind it, but i DID support the volunteers who wanted to see a project come to fruition.

I'm discontinuing the fic too... it was fun bc it was something to write, but in good conscience, i can't write for something i don't want to be part of as the damage is too great. I can post snippets I wrote, so i'll just make a summary of stuff i planned out

The Sewing/Home Economics Club!

Hazu is the president and only active member of the club, whereas the majority are all ghost members. Ghost members are those who joined a club in name only and there to fill in numbers. They'll typically join club activities every once in a while to secure their spot. Ayano joins the club during the Drama Club's play productions begin.

The club was disbanded years before and was only recently revived, leaving Hazu as the de-facto president since the previous one wanted to focus on entrance exams. Because of this, Toga Tabara was able to join, but as a ghost member.

Below is Galatea Acts spoilers/dynamics:

Ayano joins the sewing club due to being to the rule that students must join a club or face disciplinary action. She was invited to join the Drama Club alongside Kenchou after he auditioned for a role in their murder mystery dinner theater production, but she declined. Since he insists they go home together after club activities, Ayano is forced to find a way to kill time and remembers the rule of joining a club. Not wanting a lot of noise or attention, she walks around to find one that fit the requirements.

Despite the Gaming/Subculture Club insisting she's a member, she isn't officially on the list, and then finds the Sewing/Home Economics Club... kinda. The room is quiet aside from the sole sewing machine at work, and she encounters Hazu Kashibuchi. After a messy first introduction, he allows her to stay here so long as she doesn't bother him. She agrees and sits in the club room for the next few days before asking to join.

Kenchou eventually finds out about her joining and tells her that she should hurry and get other members or else it'll disbanded. So Ayano, having befriended Ousa Nakashima and Raimu Fumetsu prior to this, invites the two to join as they have yet to join a club. When Hanako Yamada transfers in, Ousa gets her to sign up as well. Seeing his classmate, Raimu, coming from the sewing club room, Toga Tabara, checks the club and is immediately recruited as a ghost member.

(best to worst) Skill / Interest level:

Hazu is incredibly skilled with sewing. He's made more than half the dolls and designed apparel, some can be seen hanging on the wall. Unfortunately, he's horrible with speaking so during club president meetings, not only is he the youngest, he's also the most soft spoken, so the budget isn't as fairly divided towards the sewing club.

Ayano is automatically the vice president. She knows how to sew and mend, but isn't motivated in starting any new projects. She prefers doing the inventory check and looking over others' works. However, if you provide her a pattern or blueprint, she can easily replicate it.

Raimu learned how to do embroidery and tailoring when she was young due to her strict family upbringing. It was meant to be early bridal training. She has her own sewing machine and feels more comfortable using it so she brought it to the club. She's the muscle of the club so she and Ayano do a lot of the shopping.

Ousa is fairly new to the idea of sewing, but enjoyed it so much that she started practicing at home. She likes making accessories more than clothes. Her favorite things to make are key chains and bracelets, making a new matching pair for Raimu.

Toga doesn't have much interest but he can do the basics. Due to his status as a ghost member, he doesn't know where all of the materials are and opts to help organize or clean rather than partake in club activities. He's pushed to be more involved by the others, especially Hanako.

Hanako has little to no interest, but her competitive nature pushes her to learn how to improve. She refuses to be seen as the worst, yet her impatience is her downfall so she gets frustrated too easily. Her ideas get too big for her current skill level so there's a box dedicated to her attempts.

Sewing club + Ayano won! So i'll work on that during the week. Please remember that this is based on my au series which you can read on ao3

[fuwabloom]

Something a little different! Which club design/dynamic + Ayano au would you be interested in seeing?

This will include her relationship with each member as well as their relationships with one another. Concept art will be included as well. Some leaders and members may have a design change.

[fuwabloom]

So! Raibaru was the winner for redesign! As you can tell, it was nothing extreme as I'm fine with her original design.

There are key differences like having muted hair and eye colors to better distinguish between her and Osana (who is called Ousa in the galatea au) and giving more volume to her pigtails to contrast her out of school self. I also changed her from a second year to a third year so she and Ousa met only a year ago.

Meet Raimu Fumetsu, a third year in AkaDemi and former president of the Martial Arts Club. A strong young woman whose accolades are unmatched in the club's near 40 year history. She's the top fighter in her district and is a name that brings about fear and respect. Due to her reputation, it was tough making friends.

She had her classmates, sure, and her clubmates were all very lovely to her. But that made her feel like she was further away from her peers. She didn't want to be placed on a pedestal; she wanted to be seen as someone's equal. So when Bushiaki Masuta (Budo Masuda/Masuyama) defeated her, breaking her record, she felt free. In control of her place in people's eyes. And with that burst of freedom, she sought to befriend the first person she crossed paths with - Ousa Nakajima (Osana Najimi). They became close almost immediately and it was Ousa who suggested they wear matching twin tails.

Although she found freedom at school, that didn't mean she had the same at home. Her parents were disappointed that she lost to her own student and pushed her to train more, dedicating more time to the dojo. Because of this, she refused to let Ousa know about her home life, thankful that Ousa never pried further. No one at school actually knows about the strict upbringing, something she fights to keep under wraps, but ever since Ayano transferred, those wraps have loosened...

The winner for redesign is Raibaru! I'll work on it this weekend and then give a whole spiel of her character in the description!

[fuwabloom]

I think I'll stick with the black and white variants of the yansim uniform? So there will be six uniform sets (it's a prestigious school and in a romanticized school setting, so I'm handwaving realism in favor of entertainment) and three colors dictating the years.

White - 1st Year

Blue - 2nd Year

Red - 3rd Year

Student Council will have red/white uniforms regardless of year.

Each year has two sets of uniform - Summer and Winter. Some variations of the uniform are allowed as creativity is encouraged, not dismissed. Thinking outside the box is highly desirable, so things like accessories and hair colors/styles are permitted. It is in the current year of 202X that the artsy side is in full swing, overtaking the academic and sports achievements of prior years.

Because the arts are winning achievements left and right, their budget has grown immensely, and therefore, the funds have been allocated to encouraging/supporting artistic minds. This is why so many students have bright hair colors, contrasting prior years where they were muted and uniformed.

[fuwabloom]

I accidentally made it a week instead of a day, but i'll let it go on lol Raibaru looks like the winning vote!

[fuwabloom]

Okay okay will get back to doing yansim stuff i promise

But first, whose redesign do you wanna see?

[fuwabloom]

Wish there was an option to dress Ayano up in different clothes rather than stick with the green top and denim skirt (shorts? It looks like a skirt). I wanna dress her up

[fuwabloom]

I want Hanako to be this super street smart kohai type who is ONLY sweet to her friends and family (Taro can see some of the bratty side but he spoils her a bunch; Osana firmly believes that Hanako is naive and needs to be protected so on Hanako's week, if she isn't with Taro, then she's with Osana. This is only if Osana is kept alive.)

Meanwhile, when neither are in sight, she refuses to take shit from ANYONE. She's quick on the uptake on who to avoid and who to appease.

The delinquents? She knows that they won't bother her by being shy when disposing the class's garbage.

The bullies? She locks onto what they're most proud about on their appearance and compliments it. She doesn't push for further conversation, and it'll slowly build up to them exchanging greetings every now and then. Kokoro happens to be the one who initiates conversation after they've built a rapport.

The teachers? Oh, she is lovely to them. What a kind student who offers to help when she sees them. But she isn't a teacher's pet! She's far too social with mingling with others and tends to suggest another student who would better fit what the teacher needs. Such a good girl who is always so cheery.

The student council? They're not very interested in her. But they know she isn't dangerous. Hanako tends to avoid them since they're all intimidating.

Etc etc she maintains a level of popularity, far more than her brother does, and because she's more savvy with people than books, she's far more perceptive on others' attitudes. She's sharper than her brother, seeing how popular he actually is (confuses the hell out of her) and acknowledges that her oblivious brother is the one who needs protecting.

If you suddenly see rw///y stuff on here, sorry, i'm getting really upset with the things i've been hearing about in the latest volume.

Please do not look into the tags as they have themes of su*c*de, self-deprecation, emotional neglect, lots of trauma vs. trauma, and other triggering themes that i haven't been too privy to due to not being involved with the show. PLEASE do not interact with the canon material if the themes above are triggering. I may be overestimating or underestimating, but i never joke around when themes of depression and su*c*de ideation are being presented in a tactless way.

I'm posting this because I may post some fix-it fic type comics due to how furious I am. I do not interact at all with the material. However, I met some of my best friends through it and it's painful seeing where the story/characters have gone.

[fuwabloom]

Mida Rana's suitor being one of the teachers or the guidance counselor would be perfect and should be a thing. Who's the one that actively smokes bc they could comr across each other with Mida being a former one, but still carries a lighter, and offers hers when the teacher who smokes forgot hers in her desk. And it could be a whole thing where they go to the roof and chat

[fuwabloom]

An established friendship with Kokona and the drama club would be great since they're the tutorial mode. But you don't get the social rep bonus at the beginning since you're Kokona's friend, not theirs. They just know they can ask you for help.
