still rotating this blue exorcist AU idea from two nights ago, so I figure I might as well talk about it! the basic idea of the AU started with "what if Yukio was raised relatively in the dark about his origins, but Rin wasn't" and it sort of just snowballed from there, as things do.

on the night of his birth, rin's demon heart is never sealed. yuri calms him down all on her own, despite all of her own struggles that night. she survives childbirth, and pleads that she'll raise rin herself, so that he won't harm others.

(shiemihaza looks in her eyes, and this time, she agrees)

once it's confirmed that yukio is human, and has not inherited satan's flames, shiro agrees to raise him for yuri and give him a normal life. he keeps yukio's origins a secret from him, only vaguely alluding to the fact that he has an older twin brother who lives with their mother.

yuri and rin are confined at the Vatican, not allowed to leave the room they are given. yuri survived, but the traumatic pregnancy followed by the even more traumatic childbirth has clearly taken its toll on her. she is much weaker, and no one expect her to live long.

she ends up living for eight more years anyways on pure determination alone.

she raises rin carefully, teaching him how to control his flames and his strength. how to be kind to others, even if they aren't kind to him. rin grows up with a mother who is physically frail, so he learns to be gentle because he doesn't want to hurt her.

shiro becomes paladin. he visits yuri whenever he can- and at first, he's really just here for her. he still thinks she's crazy for thinking she can tame her demon son, considering what happened with satan. but eventually, he comes to understand that rin isn't his father.

(yuri learns from her mistakes. she doesn't repeat them with rin.)

yuri's health takes a turn for the worse in the twins' seventh year. she passes away after their eighth birthday. there's mutters in the Vatican about finally getting rid of satan's spawn.

shiro is not going to let that happen, so warily takes some advice from Mephisto. he doesn't trust him one bit, confident he's playing at some kind of long game, but he promised yuri he'd protect both of her children, and he intends to do just that.

he ends up making rin his familiar.

(he holds rin's hands and makes him promise that he'll never use his flames on humans, unless its an absolute emergency. the boy's spiral eyes are just like his father's as he looks at him, but the person behind them couldn't be less like his father if he tried. rin promises.)

for the first time since he was born, rin leaves the room he was confined in for so long. he's going to finally meet his little brother that he's heard so much about.

he has to wear a weird, itchy bracelet to do it, though. it's supposed to make him look completely human to even people who have a mashou. mephisto made it.

(it's a rosary, because mephisto is determined to be an ironic little shithead at all times.)

his mom named him rinka. when he goes to live among humans, shiro gives him the name okumura rin.

fujimoto yukio meets his twin brother for the first time when he's eight years old. he's a strange kid, and it takes him awhile to get used to his presence at the monastery. there's something almost... disquieting about him, but that feeling fades over time.

rin doesn't go to school. everyone agrees that's probably a terrible idea. yuri taught him how to read and write. shiro tries to teach him the other subjects, but rin's not very interested.

(he is interested in cooking, though. lifehack: teach the demon kid you are now raising how to do math via cooking.)

rin keeps his bracelet on at all times around the monastery. he only takes it off when shiro needs rinka.

yukio does not grow up seeing demons. he has been blind in his left eye since birth- but that all changes after an encounter with a demon right before he moves into the true cross dorms. he doesn't remember much of what happened. all he knows is that rin saved him.

he learns demons are real, and that his father is an exorcist. and that rin has known about this all along, because he's been able to see demons his whole life. shiro grits his teeth, and decides to enroll yukio in cram school, with apologies to yuri.

(he has a bad feeling that yukio's encounter with that demon wasn't simply chance. the demon sight that mephisto sealed away is back- and with it, the vision in yukio's left eye.)

shiro doesn't tell yukio about his origins, nor that of his brother's. most of the exorcist world has forgotten that yuri egin ever had twins. only a few choice people who lived through that event are aware of this fact. there's only one son of Satan, and he is the paladin's familiar now. that's common knowledge.

mephisto: hm. I have a good idea. let's enroll rin at true cross academy as well!

rin, who has never gone to school in his life: i'm sorry what.

mephisto: you'll be able to protect your brother that way!

(shiro watches yukio at cram school. rin watches him at regular school. but also at cram school, because he's there too as shiro's familiar rinka. yukio just doesn't know that part.)

(at least he finally gets an excuse to wear that cool mask he bought that covers the lower half of his face. otherwise yukio would 100% recognize him. and he very much does not want that. he'd like to stay human in yukio's eyes for at least a little longer.)

The universe loves me

[swampndn]

Y'all, I'm still giddy, hours later, for having my real first Autistic positive validation experience (and that everyone was safe).

So I'm at this work conference in a rural midwest "town". The whole thing is about being deeply embedded in this tiny, tiny community. There's folks from all over the country here, and I'm one of three folks from Oklahoma (and we're all Native).

Anyway, there was a real bad storm moving in, and folks were getting riled up and scared about a tornado since many of them have never experienced one. All 3 of us Oklahoma NDNs go outside and smell the air, and people are so intrigued. They asked how do you know, and I gave a lil impromptu lesson about it. Well, the boss lady of the conference overheard, and she asked me if I'd talk to the entire conference about tornado warning signs and safety precautions.

Y'all. I love nothing more than sharing knowledge, and I gave a wholeass 10-minute presentation that was full of information from cloud formation meanings to storm progression to warning signs (smelling the difference between storm and tornado, green sky, train sound etc.). I straight up infodumped everything I know about tornadoes (which is a lot).

It was amazing. I had the time of my little life, and my best friend recorded the whole thing because I was in my element. But most importantly, the people were so engaged. After, so many people came up to me and said that they wished I taught them this in their schools growing up because I was so thorough but so clear. Folks felt safer and less anxious.

This was the first time in my entire life that people responded positively to my infodumping, and just wow. It's so nice.

But wait! There's more!

About 30 minutes later, I get a vibe that I need to go outside and check. So I go, and 10 people follow me because they want to learn. I look at the clouds. Folks are identifying what I just taught them. I smell thicker gasoline (storm), but I'm real sus (playing it cool for folks since people are scared). So then we all head back to our housing, and my entire floor is hanging out with me. I'm confused, but one person said that they feel safer because I'm so confident. Folks are asking me even more questions about it. Others are saying that they'll only do as I tell them to do. I'm bewildered still because, again, I'm getting positive reinforcement. It's being referred to as wisdom. It's wild.

But then! I get a feeling I should go back outside and check. Sure enough, I smell tornado, and the sky is turning a shade of green. I didn't need to check for rotation or wall clouds, so I calmly go back inside and tell folks that they should go to the basement. The other two Natives smell it too, and together we're telling leadership to enact the safety plan.

Y'all. There was a confirmed touchdown nearby!!! And we called it NEARLY 10 MINUTES before all the alerts and sirens went off!!!

I'm just like first of all, not only did people like and appreciate my very Autistic infodump on tornadoes BUT the information immediately came in handy! People were safe! And they kept thanking me!

I did go outside to check on the progress (with a dude who was really interested in learning more), and the iron smell (tornado) was getting wisked to the north, so I went back and reported to leadership that we'll probably be in the clear shortly as the storm rerouted north.

Y'all. The National Weather Service sent the all clear because the storm moved north about 5 minutes after I came back in and reported. Let's just say, the people were SHOOK. The storm has since completely moved past us. It's been a few hours. Everyone is all good here.

I never realized how much I needed this kind of positive validation for my Autism, and it felt like I healed my inner child a little bit.
