Magical Girl Yuu's First Day pt 5.1

TIL tumblr has a word limit

Apparently having a chick enrolled at an all guys school is problematic. At least that’s what Yuu picked up from Squackman’s ramblings about “scoundrels” and “wolves” and “scandals”. 

He does manage to get a hold of himself after an embarrassing rumble from Yuu’s stomach lets them know that she hasn't eaten since before her kidnapping transportation to Night Raven. The headmaster leaves with a promise to return with food and Yuu gives it even odds that he comes back. 

No, that's mean.

Yuu remembers how worried he was about the school's reputation. If nothing else he’ll come back to make sure she isn't causing trouble. 

But until then Yuu is left alone to explore Ramshackle.

The building is creaky, leaky, moldy, and a whole bunch of other things that make the magica wonder how the whole structure hadn’t collapsed yet. 

Sure Yuu had seen worse off buildings, but she'd never been expected to sleep in them. 

The walls echo with a faint moan.

Yeah, there’s nothing Birdman could say that would convince her to trust the second floor not to give out.

Without even bothering to check up the stairs Yuu decides to just sleep on the remains of an old couch in the lobby.

As she walks deeper into the hallway a burst of wind sends the dorm shuddering.

You know what? Maybe just staying by the entrance is best. Just in case there's a need for a hasty exit.

***And now for something different***

You see, while Yuu was being informed about her new immigration status Grim was on an adventure of his own. 

His whole life had been spent being chased away by people complaining about the magic beast.

 But the Great Grim isn't a beast! He’s a magician! And not just any magician, but the Greatest Magician in all of Twisted Wonderland!

While eavesdropping on people discussing magic, NRC was often name dropped as a school where the smartest, strongest, most ambitious magicians went to learn. 

Grim is smart, strong, and ambitious! Night Raven College was perfect for a prodigy like Grim! 

Apparently there’s a Dark Mirror that sends carriages out to bring promising young mages to the school.

So he waited…

And waited….

But Grim’s carriage never came.

…

So what!

If the stupid mirror won't recognize his greatness Grim will just have to show them!

 Grim taught himself how to read maps, and sneak onto transportation, and remain undetected. All so that he could prove to the world that The Great Grim isn't some stupid pest!

The plan was perfect.

 NRC’s security was no match for Grim. He easily broke in and found the room where new students were waiting. From listening in on conversation Grim knew that the freshmen would remain unconscious until the ceremony. All Grim had to do was take the robes off some chump and he was in!

Except the chump he chose woke up and ruINED EVERYTHING!

First the jerk ran off, so Grim had to chase him. 

Then he blasted Grim with some crazy pink laser!

What kind of power was that?!?!

Thankfully Grim made it to the mirror room. 

Sure he wasn't able to sneak in with the others, but if he could just get sorted, then they would have to accept him!

Yeah a window broke. And yeah there was some fire. But so what? This is a school for super prodigies! A bit of damage shouldn’t be a big deal.

But that stupid human from earlier was there again! And this time he whacked Grim with his stupid pink stick all the way across the buildings and into the nearby forest!

Mrrao! He was so close!! That jerk better watch out.

Cursing his new nemesis Grim starts heading back to the campus. Lesser mages might have given up, but the Great Grim cannot be stopped.

“Urk-!”

Okay, so maybe he's a little hurt. And he doesn't have the energy to fly. And it kinda hurts to run…

This is nothing! 

NOTHING!!!

I love the Light Grows Up In Wammy's House premises but I also think I love it in a very different way than most people do

Like I don't see it as a Childhood Friends/Rivals™ trope for Lawlight, I very much see it as Light growing up being told that there's someone better than him, someone he must not only surpass, but become—and I think he does the opposite of what BB does. He starts to hate L not because of anything L actually did (because they wouldn't have met) but because everyone keeps implying that L is better than him when Light KNOWS that he's the superior one. Beyond finds out that L is addicted to sweets and immediately changes his diet to include cakes and candies, while Light immediately wipes everything sweet from his mental list of desired foods.

He is perfectly polite, he's the baby of the group, and he can do no wrong in every other aspect of life except for the fact that he vehemently doesn't want to take L's place no matter how hard they push him. He wants to become his own sort of detective on his own merit, and he'll be damned if he has to use L's name while he does it. If he solves any cases it's anonymously, under a pseudonym.

And if he ever meets L, they won't be friends. But that vaguely disconcerting teen/man that sometimes sits in the corners of rooms and talks to no one is very interested in what Light has to say, no matter what it is, and seems to both enjoy it when Light talks shit about L and yet is still somehow annoyed by it. They get into heated arguments and he'll steal Light's things and pull his hair and mess up his clothes no matter how many times the caretakers chastise him for it (though even that happens surprisingly rarely). Light would stop talking to him entirely if he wasn't his only hope of getting out of Wammy's little genius factory both physically and mentally intact.

Light makes plans to run away and runs them by the broody teenager he's tolerated, who helps him pick out any holes in his plans, but somehow the staff always seem to catch Light before he can escape. It happens so often that Light even begins to think that someone's snitching on him, but he's only ever told one other person, and he wouldn't care enough to stop Light from leaving....

Would he?

Or, alternatively, Light never meets that stranger in the corner. Instead, Watari happily sternly informs him that L has personally selected Light to help him on cases. Isn't that great? Isn't it an honor? A and B are practically roiling with jealousy, Light should be grateful.

But Light is not grateful. He takes the news with a big ole fake smile, and silently plots L's mysterious disappearance before he's even come face to face with the man. He wants to make it on his own, he doesn't want to be reliant on L's name and Wammy's money and generosity forever, and he loathes the fact that he's been metaphorically chained to L's title in all the ways he didn't want to be.

A tiny Light, accompanying a teenage L places and becoming his face (both because L is petty and because he thinks its funny when police are introduced to a little kid as their Consulting Detective) around the world, all while they throw vicious barbs back and forth and spend quiet Christmases together and throw each other under the bus for fuckups and try foreign cuisines together and struggle to keep (L)/gain (Light) the power and ground they both don't even actually want.

L gives Light all the cases he doesn't want, like he's doing him a favor, and Light regularly calls A and B to smack talk L behind his back and turn the rest of his successors against him.

I can even imagine some amalgamation of both of these scenarios happening, or even eight more vaguely like them in the vein of L and Light being both completely antagonistic towards each other while also simultaneously growing so codependent that they can't stand not knowing what the other one is doing at any point in the day and also get absurdly jealous whenever anyone else even speaks to them.

Or EVEN a scenario where L doesn't pay attention to Light at all until he's grown and out in the world on his own. Light makes a quick name for himself, decidedly divorced from Wammy's influence, and eventually meets L on accident through a case L is working on, wherein L becomes intrigued with him and looks into his history only to find that he's a Wammy kid and L goes "Oh. You're one of mine."

To which Light takes decidedly poorly given that the claim both riles and razes Things™ in him because growing up with the vaguest desires to be like the man in front of you even though you loathe him and those desires were quickly squashed and never thought of willingly or voiced aloud leaves behind both the intense need to alienate yourself from said man entirely and to get close enough to become better than him for all to see and witness—only for Light to find that he can't alienate himself completely from L anymore because L decidedly won't let him and he can never quite seem to surpass him either because L is constantly nipping at his heels, echoing his thoughts with brilliant deductions of his own, and it turns out that trying to intellectually sprint past someone who only starts running when YOU do and has a distinct headstart is harder than it looks.

I keep thinking about Riku picking the paopu fruit in KH1 and giving it to Sora and that having been his not-so-subtle way of trying to share it with him…..

This was Rikus 13th reason I think

He Lives

So, back in May (2023), I decided to pick up a knitting project and he is finally done! Meet, my son;

Now he's sulking

The great Grim-sama has tuna!!!!!!

Grim jumpscare

Tail details

Toe beans :3

I used weight 4 yarn and 3mm straight needles for the body (it was hell), whereas the bow is weight 6 on 6mm needles. I had an old spiral crystal necklace that I didn't use, so he has an actual amethyst crystal for his magestone. He is around 40 or 50 centimetres tall, and very potato-shaped. He is potato-shaped so he can't run away from me or the crimes that he commits.

I didn't use a pattern for this, it was all eyeballed (I came to regret this when it came to the limbs). But I do have a very rough mock-up for a pattern (it's just shapes though).

To awaken him, I played Circle of Life and gifted him tuna. It was a whole-ass dance sequence.

Azrael, Angel of Death

Just my take on Azrael for Hazbin Hotel. I think Charlie deserves a loving but misunderstood Aunt.

I figured that the exorcist Angels' helmets were designed to mimic her helmet, since she is known as the harbinger of Death.

I also drew Emily cause' she's the best girl!

I'd like to think that since Azrael's duty to guide souls from the mortal realm into the spirit realm, she's akin to a reaper. When she takes the souls from their physical bodies, she also goes through their memories to create a soul scroll, which acts as a human's "Life in review" or "Record of existence". Azrael then takes this scroll, along with the soul, to the Hall of Divine Judgement. Where the Council of Archangels and God will Judge the soul. After the sentencing Azrael casts Instant transmission on the soul and they spawn in either Heaven or Hell.

Human souls never retain their memories of divine judgement since they're too overwhelmed with their lives flashing before their eyes.
