hey dont look this direction, im about to go off on some Baldurs Gate 3 Self aware au shit.
Consider: Emperor needed some help controlling the Origin characters he handpicked out of all the ones created by the Absolute. Sure, he could try and coerce them into following through on his plan, but he needed SOMEONE who he knew would 100% listen to him. Or that failing be misled into trusting him. Someone who wouldnt automatically know that somethijg was up.
He needed Characters that could attract the attention of greater forces, gods in their own right, without somehow tipping off the Dead Three on whats happening.
There is so much i wanna write but idk how to weave this properly ahhhh

"Young Master... I have done NOTHING but sacrifice for your well being. And what do I have to show for it? Apathy! Derision and constant falsehoods! And NO ONE takes your safety seriously!"
"So if I must sacrifice every last drop of my magic and being to make sure you are never in harm's way... THEN SO BE IT!"
"Allow me to Overblot to prove my loyalty!"
"LET ME BECOME YOUR ETERNAL GUARDIAN!"
-
This took so many days to do, but man I love the concept of Overblot Sebek willingly Overblotting to try and protect Malleus. Thanks to @twistedtavern to suggesting the idea that he put Malleus in a tower ( read: Diasomnia dorm ) and prevent anyone from 'rescuing' him.

One day, I aspire to get good enough to get fanart of my fics. Until then I'll just keep making my own lmao
Did a ( hopefully ) upcoming scene in my fic "Turn Your Gaze Upward and Weep". Experimenting w/ the bg assets from tilesheets to make like a lil diorama effect to all this. I think it came out good :D
Self Aware AU belongs to @alexglitches, Sebek's Aniplex's/Disney's property, I'm just messing around w/ both

Okay question about Pops Leona AU since it was mentioned in the last thing. What DOES Leona tell Kenta about the ramshackle pair? Cause for some reason I imagine it going like
Leona: Listen. They are herbivores. The cat is annoying. The prefect has no magic. But if you're ever any immediate serious trouble you go to them first. They can handle anything.
Kenta joking: Even you pops?
Leona overblot flashbacking: Yes they have.
Kenta: What the fuc-
Leona: LANGUAGE
MMMMMMMM
Tbh.
It depends on the Yuu.
If we are going by like. The manga Yuu? oh absolutely, You go to that one, he knows how to use a sword! ( Kendo stick but still )
If we are going with the light novel, he hesitates to call them reliable BUT he will still suggest it since they're apparently tougher than they look. Weepy lil herbivore who can take on the world despite always in tears.
Game Yuu, I'm not sure. it could go either way!
But Leona does generally respect Yuu and will suggest that his son go to them if things get bad.
Grimm, meanwhile, is like. "Son if you wanna practice stalking and pouncing, do it on that thing. It's perfect for practice and if you give it tuna it'll generally take it without complaint.

Part Four of “Leona introduces Kenta to the rest of Night Raven College’s student body” au!
Ignihyde:
Ok. The thing about Kenta is that, no matter what, he is still an 8-9 year old.
So when he sees Ortho for the first time, he JUST STARES AND POINTS LIKE "IS THAT A SUPERHERO." He absolutely rushes up to Otho like HEY. HEY ARE YOU A SUPER HERO. I SAW SOMEONE LIKE YOU IN A MOVIE ONCE. ARE YOU A SUPER HERO.
Ortho has. No fucking clue who this is and hes just buffering. But he just. Has to tell the kid hes not a superhero. And of course Kenta doesn't believe him. But he still has so many questions for Ortho. Like WHO MADE YOUR COOL SUIT. WHO ARE YOU. CAN YOU SHOOT LAZERS.
While Leona wont apologize, he will drag Kenta back like "stop yowling brat. Holy shit."
Ortho is just laughing like "no its okay! He can ask questions."
And the more he hangs out with Ortho, the more Kenta feels inclined to call him Big Bro.
Ortho... doesnt know how to feel. He's always been a little brother! Now hes been promoted to Big Brother? His lil brain is racing like WHAT SORT OF RESPOBSIBILITIES HAVE I TAKEN ON WITH THIS NEW TITLE AAAA
Also he can and will pick the lil guy up and fly him around since he weighs like nothing to Ortho.
As for Idia, Ortho will let Kenta follow him around, and Idia will not realize they have a guest until he turns around and there's an unknown cub staring at his RGB LED light set up
He. Doesn't do well with kids. At lesst as far as he thinks. But Kenta doesn't ask questions about his hair. He doesn't ask about Idia or his stammering or his choices to use his tablet to speak.
He moreso asks if hes got videogames here.
And boy does he.
The kid is in heaven, as hes never had a chance to PLAY videogames like this before. Hes moreso used to the crummy set ups with crap old tvs and jerry rigged consoles.
Idia is kinda happy about it.
The lil guy does eventually ask about Idia's hair but it's moreso asking if he can turn it green or purple or whatever.
It's nice to see Idia actually like spending time wity someone who isn't Ortho.
--
Diasomnia:
And finally.
Kenta is constantly told to stay away from Ramshackle, since "we haven't gotten you your shots yet, and I dont wanna have to deal with you getting tetanus or meningitus or Seven knows what else."
But Kenta is a brat and doesn't listen at all.
So he sneaks over at night and meets Malleus just hanging out there. The kid has no clue who this is. And just. "Oh hey there Mister Gazelle, I didn't think anyone would be here."
Malleus has to. Take a second and realize this child is talking to him. Last he checked he wasn't a gazelle. And he says as such.
"Yeah okay. Why do you have gazelle horns then. You look like a gazelle beastman to me."
Malleus will take a moment... and just laugh. He likes this kid.
Malleus has no problem teaching the kid about magic and all the cool stuff he knows about. Kenta stupidly gives Malleus his name much like Yuu does but Malleus has no intention of holding it against the child. Not right now. He might if it suits him.
Leona isn't happy to see Malleus talking to his son and heir, but Kenta grumbles and snaps at his dad about how he wants to meet everyone! There is def some disagreements between the kid and his dad, but Malleus thinks its cute.
As far as Lilia and the rest, Lilia does, as a person said, revet back to dad mode almost IMMEDIATELY. Its as simple as reverting to an old script. He checks on Kenta lots, inquiring with Leona about the lad and if he's been eating. Has he been getting enough sleep? Leona I got him this cute little sweater you should give it to him :)
Sebek scares Kenta so much, since he's loud and talks a lot. But he still teases him and makes fun of him, happy to trick and prank him as much as Lilia. But he's not a total bastard, and will still apologoze if he actually upsets him.
Silver is def big brother material as well. He can teach Kenta how to fight with a sword! And ride horses! Even if he just sorta falls asleep, Kenta will just sit and wait, maybe even try to wake him up! Like SILVER WAKE UP I WANNA DO SWORD PRACTICE.
Its kinda cute tbh, Silver likes being an older brother to Kenta... he cant help but love the lil guy and how he's taking NRC's reactions to him with stride.

Wait speaking of direct to VHS/DVD: What if Ursula's sister in TWST is just an off brand Azul who tries to take his style and JUST WANTS TO BE AS SUCCESSFUL AS AZUL. HAS NO CLUE ABOUT THE INSECURITIES.
OHHHHH anon this brings up something I super duper wanna talk about.
Deep Ocean Magic.
I wanna see this lil freshman trying to gun for Azul's spot as housewarden by harnessing a very much frowned upon if not forbidden magic from the abyssal trenches of the ocean.
Adorable lil rat bastard starts trying to pull scams. Trying to manipulate and subjugate his fellow freshmen. Get them to rally to his side, so that he can get a platform to challenge Azul with.

Ok Kenta aside what's Leona doing as the de facto leader of a portion of his brother's kingdom. How is he running it. Is there a Zira expy/representarive that thinks hes just the best thing since sliced bread. I have to know!!
OH BOY WORLDBUILDING :D
As of rn there's no Zira expy but man do I want one. as like. His secretary and advisor lmao.
Tbh! At first even before Kenta was a thing, it was overwhelming. The depression plus the whole onset of new responsibility was ROUGH on Leona.
He basically got the Outlands equivalent in this AU. The place most royals wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. And Leona's reputation was already kinda shit among the regular folk. But there were plenty of hopeful citizens thinking that MAYBE. Leona would be their savior.
He's trying so hard to be.
He actually has to put in effort, and this is what he wants, right. He wants to be able to rule! But this isn't exactly what he expected. Still. He rolls up his sleeves, and gets to work.
First thing he does is look at all the stuff that Farena's not bothered to look at. Taxes, ordinances, ect. Just realizes he needs to get back in touch w/ the people of the Outlands, and that's why he starts sneakin out. He needs to do recon.
And that's when he meets Kenta.
While Kenta's a kid, his insight is invaluable, helps Leona start to draft up stuff, issues that the Zira expy might not have covered/not touched on. Leona probs starts with dealing with the lack of food, setting up an appeal for more food from the main kingdom. It's a start, and he doesn't have high hopes for this. But he's not gonna let Farena think that he's not capable of handling this.
He has to live up to the King of Beasts' memory. He has to make this right.
While he works mostly to spite Farena, he starts to learn that, hey. These guys. They're starving. They're hungry.
He needs to help them.

Jamil + an S/O who just LOVES BUGS. like just loves them in all shapes and sizes
Oh his sweet S/O. So good and pure and wonderdul in his eyes.
But GOD DO THEY LOVE BUGS
He cannot see what they LIKE in the damn things, but they're the type to take the spider outside in a cup, or to use things to ward away insects instead of killing them.
Jamil recalls when they first met, in the greenhouses, and they were studying a small terrerium that had a scorpion in it.
Of course he kept a good distance away, but the passion they spoke with about how healthy their little pal was! How their chitin was so healthy and sleek, and how they had eaten up their crickets so well!
Jamil could not help but find them charming.
Granted, their S/O was a fan of other 'undesirable' things like mold and fungus and lizards and snakes. Jamil found himself wrapped up in their research a lot, mostly with the reptiles since they knew he was frightened of insects and ensured he was kept away from his precious babies.
But one day, one of his S/O's precious preying mantis gets out, leaving their S/O a sobbing mess. They had been raising them for a while, using special formula to get them bigger than most of their species. They were going to showcase them at an insect fair once summer rolled around.
They can't go out and look for them, since they have class. But they might get smashed by some cruel student and that would break their heart...
Jamil would soothe them, but not offer much else in terms of help.
Until he goes out to class and finds the offending preying mantis on a wall in the school. And it's BIG.
The thorax alone is nearly as long as his middle finger and Jamil feels himself freeze in terror. But... this is his S/O's precious pet. And as much as Jamil hates the damn demon for existing, the memory of his sweetheart crying and being so upset over their pet vanishing breaks his own heart...
He swallows his fear and immediately traps the thing in a large covered container used for leftover food. Thankfully he can use magic to levitate it into the tray so it doesn't-
It breaks free and leaps onto his face.
Jamil is pretty sure his heart just stopped.
He screams and manages to swat the bug off into the container and slam the lid onto it.
He is gonna spend the rest of the day shaking but he returns the bug to where it belongs.
He is going to be heavily rewarded for his bravery!

Does Leona bring Kenta into classes or is he not allowed to? Bc the image of Kenta on Leona's lap while in class is very funny to me.
And speaking classes, how do the teachers react to Leona bringing his kid to school??
Hmmmmmm! Well, it depends on if Kenta can behave himself during a lecture.
Crowley
For starters, Crowley isn't too KEEN on letting Kenta stay at first. They don't have day care facilities and he worries that the child will be a distraction to the other students.
"Not like you've cared before, Crowley." Leona will sneer.
"I don't NEED day care! I'm almost 9!"
Ultimately, Crowley will allow it so long as Kenta won't distract the class. And he won't for the most part! Though outside of class, Crowley is rather fond of how Kenta keeps Leona on his toes. Teaches him responsibility! And how hard it is to keep tabs on children.
Kenta does not trust the bird man. Thinks he's shifty as hell but he can't exactly say that out loud.
Prof Trein
Prof Trein's the first teacher to have Kenta in his class, and it only takes one glare to get him to behave himself. Despite Trein being rather soft on him, he still expects Leona to keep his son in check and behaving.
If anything, Kenta keeps LEONA in check, as he keeps waking him up during lessons to ask his dad what Trein's talking about. Trein just. Smirks at the fact that Leona gets no peace in his classes now. And NOW LEONA HAS TO PAY ATTENTION to answer Kenta's questions.
Lucius also enjoys Kenta's company, as he likes that the kid is FLUENT in Beastspeak. Like, he talks to the cat more eloquently than he does with people. The reason is apparently, he and several other whelps were babysat by an irritable old tabby cat that they called Miss Abby. She taught them to speak Feline pretty damn fast.
Lucius reports that the kid also has a comprehensive list of animal swear words.
Prof Crewell
At first, you'd think Crewell didn't like the cub. But it's easy to keep him occupied.
You remember the really dangerous chemistry kits that they used to sell in the 60/70/80s? The ones that had MERCURY and HYDROCHLORIC ACID and stuff in them?
Tumblr media
Yeah, Crewell lets Kenta play with the magical equivalent. Even has a print out of how to make things like smoke bombs and such. Consider it payback for all the times Leona slacked off in class.
"You see, you mongrel. Your own pup has a healthy interest in the art of alchemy! Look at him with his little goggles and lab coat. It's quite cute. Why can't you be as motivated as he is?"
Kenta is all for this. He's delighted to learn, even if he's risking chemical burns or catastrophic ( to a child ) mistakes that might do things like turn his hair green or make his voice really deep.
Ashton Vargas
Oh man, if you thought that Jack liked the kid, Ashton is ready to sign the adoption papers and steal him from Leona.
While Kenta doesn't care about gaining muscles, he is HIGHLY interested in climbing and running and jumping and tumbling. And he's an endless font of energy, meaning Vargas has someone new to compare the other students to.
Vargas happily sets up an obstacle course in the gym to 'test his students' but it's more like. He wanted to see Kenta's abilities in action before he starts pushing him/ adjusting how his work outs should be. It's a lot of climbing and crawling, and it's quite fun to watch the older students struggle while Kenta laps them all.
Kenta FUCKING LOVES Vargas. He loves the huge man and is like "WHOAAAAA" over how BIG he is. Thinks he's the bee's knees and BEGS Leona to hang out with him when they're not busy.
Leona loves the idea of Vargas babysitting, but hates that now Kenta wants him to exercise alongside him. Waking him up at ungodly hours ( read: 6 am ) to 'go for a morning jog' and such. He's in Hell and Vargas is the Devil.
Sam
Ahhhh, Sam.
Sam immediately takes a liking to the little guy since he likes buying snacks off him. He's willing to taste test a lot of the newer goods, telling Sam if the stuff is good or not. And Sam is willing to let him have the first few samples so that Kenta can come back with Leona's wallet :)
But he also makes sure Kenta is WATCHED when he comes in, since the little guy also has sticky fingers. A force of habit from his time in the back alleys. Same is a lot more forgiving than most, not even telling Leona about the incidents. But Sam makes sure the kid works for him as punishment so that he can keep a closer eye on him, learn his tricks.
And Kenta learns a lot about Sam and his backroom dealings.
More than he should. But he's good at keeping secrets :)

I love the dorm reactions!! For Diasomnia I just imagine Lilia going Dad Mode immediately without even realizing it lmao
Lilia: *Accidentally calls Kenta Silver*
Kenta: Who's Silver?
Lilia: Uh. Shi-I mean shoot. Sorry. Kenta.
Silver meanwhile is just like ????? "Father are you ok."
He just forgets that mortals aren't always so little and he's been on dad mode for what feels like a few months/years at most.

Part Three of “Leona introduces Kenta to the rest of Night Raven College’s student body” au!
Pomefiore:
Epel isn't the Housewarden, but he IS the Vice Housewarden with recc's from Vil.
Kenta takes one look at Epel and asks him if he's ever played as Wounded Gazelle for pickpockets or thieves. Epel is, understandably, appalled that he would suggest that. But Kenta just says "You got a trusting look to you. People would fall all over themselves to help you if they think you twisted an ankle."
"I don't WANT to be cute and fragile, I wanna be tough and scary!"
"I mean I guess. Most people gotta pick a role on the streets."
Kenta will tell him all about how he can get away from the guards, how to fight larger opponents and fall back when need be. And if all else fails, cry those fake tears and get the Guards involved. You might not be able to overpower your opponents, but the fact that a crowd is now watching them will often get them to back down with their ears pinned back.
Epel isn't sure that he likes Kenta's advice but...
"How do you know all this? You're just a kid."
"Yeah, a kid from the back alleys. Dad took me in, but I'm not gonna forget all that in a few months, heh!"
Vil and Rook, meanwhile, are back from their internships/job training. Vil is one of the few who has kept up with Leona during this time, and is familiar with Kenta. They've yet to meet properly though, and Kenta scrunches his nose up at Vil at first. He's AWARE of Vil's presence in movies and such, but he's still kinda wary due to Leona calling him "a prissy primadonna who has way more power than he oughta.".
Vil comments how Leona can't seem to dress his son properly, only for Kenta to sneer that "I don't need flashy clothes. That gets you robbed in the back alleys, prissy man. The only clothes I need are the ones I can move and run in."
"Well that's hardly any excuse. You can easily look good while you climb and run from the authorities."
"Yeah like you'd know about that."
"Why? Do you?"
And of course Kenta, being the smartass child he is, brags about how he can easily shimmy up drain pipes and get low and evade chasing guards by means of disguising yourself in a crowd. Vil listens intently while he asks little, innocuous questions. like where one puts their feet when you're climbing up a drain pipe, or how much a crowd can afford cover to someone who may be skinnier or heavier.
He basically tricks Kenta into not only assisting him in move role research, but tempts Kenta into learning a thing or two about urban movement techniques at a later date if his father is willing to allow it. The kid has potential! Leona isn't pleased but Kenta will not shut up about it so he tells them he will 'consider it'.
Rook, under normal circumstances, is not allowed within arm's reach of Kenta. But should he ever encounter Kenta on a night time stroll, the following will occur:
youtube
Yes, Rook can and has looked into Leona's life even after all this time. And he in intrigued at little Kenta's abilities. He wastes no time in teaching Kenta about the ins and outs of not only personal and physical stealth but also mental and online stealth. No need to be earnest with those you cannot trust. And what if there were someone looking to HARM his dear sweet father?
"Yeah, dear sweet father, my butt. He's not sweet at all. He's just lazy and grumpy."
"Ah, but he DID take you in, non? Made you safe, Prince des rues. If nothing else, you can use what you learn to keep him safe as well. See the signs of people wanting to harm him~"
Kenta's a bit young to be picking a lot of the more nuanced and abstract concepts up right away, but he pays attention because the idea of going where he pleases without anyone being able to stop him, and getting whatever he wants without needing to let on that's what he's doing... why, it's a street urchin's dream! Who's gonna stop him? Leona? Farena? No way!
"I don't know why Dad said i should stay away from you, you seem cool!"
But of course, Rook is smart. Gently coaxes more info about Leona out of Kenta's trusting hands. Leona is none the wiser since Kenta has picked up on Rook's training VERY well, and has such even started to learn to be a bit more manipulative towards others who are much older than him...
Pomefiore might not be the kid's favorite dorm, but it's the one where he's met the most interesting people.

Leona sure is a lax parent! Im surprised Farena hasn't stepped in to try and parent Kenta as well.
He's tried plenty of times. But as King he's def more busy than Leona.
Leona, while lax, is still a fairly efficient parent. Teaches Kenta early that he's a safe place to come back to after he's had his fun wandering. And he refuses to play favorites between Cheka and Kenta. He wants both of these cubs to feel like they have a place in his heart.
Also, frankly, he never pushes in that Cheka will be a prince and probably king one day, and gladly stands up to any staff who try and talk badly of Kenta! He will not tolerate people making this kid, who's had ENOUGH of a hard life, make him feel bad about his cunning and stealthy nature.
"He's not a bad kid. He's just doing what he knows and what he can to survive. You can't blame him for not knowing the royal rules, off the bat."
He plays up the idea that he doesn't care that much, but he just has his ways of showing it. Allows the brat his freedoms while still doing what he can to teach him and tend to his emotional needs.
The balance of being both a dad and a ruler helps him grow up faster than he anticipated.
Kenta meanwhile questions Farena A LOT. Not completely in the childish way either. He has a hunger for knowledge and wants to know why Farena does what he does, or why he doesn't want Kenta or Cheka doing certain things. He's more sarcastic with Farena as well, but does is best to say his pleases and thank yous.

Part Two of "Leona introduces Kenta to the rest of Night Raven College's student body" au!
Octavinelle:
Surprise, EVERYONE is shocked that Leona has a kid following him around.
Or they would be if Azul had not kept his ear to the ground and kept up on all the gossip outside of the school.
Meanwhile Floyd thinks that the brat is the funniest and cutest thing on campus. Calls him "sea lion pup" and "Small fry" and the like. And Kenta is surprisingly receptive to both Floyd and Jade's mannerisms. While Jade takes care of feeding the growing cub, Floyd's spontaneous mood swings keep the brat entertained for the better part of the day. Jade's mushroom dishes are a big hit, as Kenta has no qualms about food that he doesn't have to pay for. Veggies, meat, it doesn't matter. He simply loves food that's free.
"You know, I can easily rent out Jade and Floyd as babysitters if you ever need a breather, Leona..." Azul will always suggest. "They seem to like your adopted ward. And your ward seems to enjoy them back, hmhm~"
Leona will keep them in mind, but they're absolutely his last resort, if he ever needs someone to keep tabs on Kenta. Meanwhile, Floyd is teaching Kenta the proper way to 'squeeze' someone...
--
Scarabia:
Jamil is surprised that Leona has a kid. Kalim merely smiles about it. "So cute! I'm surprised it took you that long to find a wife an have a kid."
Leona has to explain that he's adopted but still.
In traditional Kalim fashion, he suggests a party and while Kenta is hesitant at first, he relents because "Jamil makes the best food, he can make you some!" Leona unfortunately gets dragged into this, as the kid NOW wants to go and have a party.
Of course, the kid has a hell of a time, eats until he's sick and just falls asleep on a couch. Even when he lived with Leona, he's never eaten so much!
"He's a good kid! Rough around the edges, but he's adorable." Kalim will tell Leona once Kenta's bundled up and taken onto his back. "He's lucky to have you."
"Hmph." Leona just grumbles about it.
Ultimately, Kenta is wary of Kalim, but surprisingly trusting of Jamil. He likes watching Jamil cook, and also seems intent on following him around! He thinks that the guy's damn capable, and Leona's happy to scrape the brat off onto Jamil.
Jamil would complain, but Kenta is somehow better behaved than Kalim, so having him follow around isn't as bad a fate as some might think.
