Most of the Scarabia dorm is actually pretty torn about Azul dating Kalim. On one hand, he obviously makes Kalim happy, which makes everyone else happy. On the other hand, Stinky Bastard Contract Octopus, and most of them are probably holding grudges over getting caught in a contract. In the end, Azul does get their blessing, but he is VERY AWARE that if he ever hurts Kalim, he's wake up to an angry mob of Scarabia students outside Octainville.

it's like the strangest mix of quelling the persistent rivalry between octavinelle and scarabia and also stoking the flames lmao??? the scarabia students are like GOD whats this SLEAZY OCTAVINELLE guy doing here????? while the octavinelle students are prolly also sideyeing kalim being in their dorm to visit azul bc ummmm so how did this happen. dorm leader is kinda scary w his business ethic, how and why did he manage to bag that sunshine dorm leader from scarabia??? and so both sides are wary but keeping the peace for the sake of their dorm leaders lol

Your pure imagination au is such a cool concept!! I wonder what is "Jamil's" role in this?

The "master" of the hivemind, I think! The dream potion (maybe not a potion at all... but rather a bottled entity delivered like a "poison" of sorts?) works as a collective to keep its victim ensnared, with varying levels of hierarchy/self-awareness but the same goal. Maybe it'd be like an ant colony... the common workers are the un-self-aware entities who exist to keep the dream realistic to the victim but aren't necessarily aware theyre not real themselves, the soldiers are beings like "Riddle" who know what they are and what purpose they serve, and then theres the queen aka "Jamil" who issues the orders to the soldiers and has ultimate say over how the dream goes and how best to make the victim want to stay forever... hive's gotta eat, after all...

Ah yes azulxkalim are the best

I don't know where but i remember that i ever read that before azul turn into humans appearance he read a magazine or something about human fashion so he can adapt well with human fashion or something like that, i would imagine when azul and kalim were dating and goes to their first date azul will search through a bunch of fashion magazine about what to wear on when go on a date since he didn't know and never goes on one before, and azul will end up wearing the most formal suit like you would wear on a high class dinner date or when you want to propose for marriage kind of suit (i hope you understand what i mean lol) while kalim will just wear a casual clothes, i love this kind of stupid couple dynamic it's so hilarious and cute at the same time

oh HELL yeah anon you are so right lol (also I apologize for answering this THREE YEARS LATER OH MY GOD the club outfits and ch7 came out already after all this waiting </3)

i think it's the most comical thing ever bc azul is definitely the type to overstress and overplan and yeah he ends up showing up in like a suit and tie made with satin and/or silk with super high class shoes and his finest hat bc hes like MAN i need to make a good impression since i am a mess inside and also kalim is rich so surely he has high expectations of me in private and-

Meanwhile kalim rolls out of bed, spends like two hours sorting through his clothes/outfits trying to find the snazziest fit and asking other dorm members for opinions and ends up in his club outfit after all that asking lol hes definitely more relaxed and casual about it but he absolutely thinks hard about what he'll look best in bc he does care about azul too and wants him to be happy with the date <3

then when they meet up theyre both like Σ(°Д °;;) bc they had the COMPLETE OPPOSITE ideas of whats best to wear on a first date bc kalim is like "gotta look casual but cute" and azul is like "THIS IS THE ROYAL DINNER I NEED TO DRESS TO THE NINES" and then they both end up getting suuuuuper embarrassed about it but still manage to make light of the situation (kalim tells azul hes very dashing and azul cant help but find kalim's casual clothes so HIM it's terribly endearing <3)

What would the fight against Kalim's Overblot look like in rr au? And how will Jamil and Kalim's relationship look after Kalim's Overblot?

*looks at date sent and SWEATS*

Okay ngl at this point (since I haven't played the game in a longgggggg time, have lost my au notes, and kinda just havent thought about this au for a while) i KINDA forgor BUT I can tell you what I remember the most from my original plans (they may change... or just not be written at all lol! I got other stuff going on unfortunately)

I don't quite remember the logistics of how they get back into scarabia aside from the octavinelle trio helping jamil and the yuu gang navigate the floodwaters (think something reminiscent of ch3 where the yuu gang had waterbreathing potions and such) and they swim up and up from the portal to the last remaining bit of dry land in the desert (which is likely the highest roof/balcony of the dorm? I kinda never fully knew the scarabia layout)

rr au kalim has always been best represented in my mind as "the genie who desperately wished to become iago" where in his heart of hearts all he ever wanted was to be kind and grant others happiness but to stand by jamil's side forever he turned to more sinister tendencies (this is reflected in his undying support of jamil despite the dorm tyranny and his guard duties but also his internal struggle of helping the struggling students anyway) SO BECAUSE OF THIS i imagine his overblot monster actually does take on most of the characteristics of the good genie but may be all warped with bird features since kalim himself is trapped in this in-between state of "purehearted wishgranter" and "right hand to the sorcerer of sands"

I also like to imagine that even though kalim and jamil had been skirting around their feelings prior to the overblot (and continue to do so after bc WHEW awkward), during the overblot itself kalim ends up expressing his hidden desire to love and protect jamil forever while overblotted and thus may take jamil "hostage" for the fight to have him to himself, keeping him away from the yuu gang (+octavinelle) for most of the fight until they wear him down enough and jamil can either talk him down or Snake Whisper him into submission to stop the overblot and make sure kalim doesnt injure himself beyond saving with his magic consumption and mental turmoil (there was also the background fear that since i hc the scarabia dorm/all dorms exist in a "pocket dimension" of sorts, eventually it would reach capacity and kalim would drown himself from all the rainwater he produces, which was why time was of the essence even though kalim's UM doesnt consume much magic comparatively)

after the overblot (when kalim falls unconscious) jamil gets overwhelmed with emotion at the thought of losing kalim and kisses him briefly, which jamil REFUSES to address afterward despite the yuu gang literally losing their MINDS over how stupid jamil is being but no siree hes not about to address that bc then hed have to admit he kissed kalim and that he liked him this whole time and how terrified he was- jamil does NOT wanna deal w all those emotions yet he needs to sort himself out and get over his superiority complex first AND resolve the whole master/servant power imbalance they got goin on yanno

Speaking of which, kalim and jamil do end up spending much more time apart so that they can learn to be more independent... they have a LOT of codependency going on where kalim feels like hes useless if he isnt able to serve jamil while jamil trusts absolutely nobody and is way too paranoid about everything to the point of basically not letting anyone into his life aside from kalim so they do need to separate for a bit to be healthier, both for themselves and each other. Since rr kalim, unlike canon jamil, kinda doesnt mind acting as a servant all that much (which has to do with a whole lot of childhood indoctrination and such we do NOT have the time to talk about here lol), I imagine rr jamil takes matters into his own hands (to his chagrin, bc ideally he wants kalim to be able to recognize his own personhood and stand up for himself bc he loves him dearly) and dismisses kalim from his duties for the time they spend apart so that kalim can heal and jamil can work out his trust issues properly

And thus, the genie is free...

Here's another commission for the wonderful @verticalsea continuing their last comic commission!

You know Ace is going to be in even more trouble now

These guys definitely aren't cut out for taking care of babies 😔

More of malleus and silver sibling bonding time. I like to think that malleus is constantly stealing silver away to show him things and play. He also talks to him like he's a full grown adult which is both funny and good for silver in the long run.

Also this habit has stopped Lilia's heart on more than one occasion
