Vivia Twilight Looms

ok so that fanfiction... Here it is. Maybe I got the boy wrong, maybe not. This entered my brain the first time he actually started standing. Man just looms cause he's so damn tall I love him.

You're a borrower living in Vivia's home, a normal trip gets a bit less normal.

Vivia Twilight Looms

You had picked the safest place in the world to live. The human man who owned the place barely moved. Most of the time he was asleep and when he was awake he sat around reading. The only times you had to worry were when other people came to see him. Usually it was a number of hard to understand topics brought up. Something about master detectives and cases, whatever those were. When others showed up you hid. Just like today.

“I wanna die someday,” the man, you’d heard others call him Vivia, sighed. He said that a lot, you didn’t quite understand. That didn’t matter though.

You poked out from behind one of his stacks of books. The place was covered in them. He was lying on the couch focused on a book. You waited until his eyes drifted closed. It was the best time. The visitors left and you were hungry.

A few minutes just to be extra sure. Then, you ran. Quick jumps across the piles of books to reach the counter. The Vivia human would leave these piles untouched all the time. Actually that wasn’t true. The other humans who visited would move them around and Vivia would put them back. As if he wanted the piles to stay…

You smiled as you landed on the solid counter. There were a lot of strange memories around these books. When you first arrived the piles weren’t quite so neat. At times even your miniscule weight nearly knocked them over. Only a few days of your stay here had changed that. Almost like he’d changed it for you. You shook your head that wasn’t likely.

As you casually walked across the kitchen counter your mind wandered. One of the visiting humans had been talking to Vivia for a while. Something about a spy, whatever that was. All the things humans talked about were weird. You shrugged your shoulders, pausing in your stroll to look around. It was almost impossible to believe your wide eyes once you found some food.

Sitting in the open, crumbled enough you could fill your bag without being noticed, was a muffin. The scent was fresh and cinnamony. It even looked like steam rose from it. You couldn’t remember the last time you got to eat something warm. It was too good to be true. Vivia didn’t seem to care much about what he ate, even less if it was warm. That didn’t stop you from stumbling towards the warm enticing food. Long before it was close enough to reach you started to struggle taking steps. You looked down slowly, tears springing to your eyes as you found the problem.

Beneath your feet was some strange substance. A kind of blue you’d never seen before. Looking over your shoulder you found a long line of your footprints along the substance. You tried to pull free, but your feet sunk in as you looked around. It was up to your ankles now and you couldn’t escape. Vivia hadn’t been in the kitchen, he hadn’t moved all day, you were checking on him earlier when the others… You weren’t watching the other humans who had come to visit him…

As if things had to get worse, you heard one of Vivia’s loud sighs. That meant he was awake. He didn’t get up often, there was a chance you could get out of this.

“How troublesome,” he sighed. You started to shake as you stared over the tiny wall that had been hiding the couch. Vivia was standing, taller than most of the other humans you had seen around him. Every second filled your soul with dread. “I don’t have a choice it seems.”

Your heart pounded in your ears as the dark figure started to walk. It felt like he was so far away when you were moving around. Now he felt too close, each heavy step reached you. When you imagined his steps you thought they’d be slow and somehow soft. It wasn’t the reality. He was standing over you too quickly. As if that wasn’t bad enough he loomed. Bringing his face so close you could touch his skin.

“What are you?” he slowly asked. He always spoke slowly. You couldn’t think. This human was too big, too focused. Purple eyes staring at you, studying you. A sigh that would have knocked you down if you weren’t stuck to some weird surface. “I suppose it doesn’t matter…”

You screamed as he moved. That had him stare at you, looming over you. Eyes stuck to your small form. The fear started to win. You fought, trying desperately to free your feet. If you could run you might make progress. At least have a chance to pretend you could survive. The sigh from the towering human only made the situation worse. 

“Do you have to be so loud…” he said as he rubbed the back of his head.

The truth of your situation sunk in as his other hand came close. Long fingers wrapped around you. The strange substance pulled at your feet as he lifted you. The muscles beneath the skin tensed, the grip tightened, and the ground disappeared. Vivia lifted you right up to his eyes. It didn’t seem possible, but he continued to loom even when he held you. As if he existed just to loom over everyone. The way he stared at you didn’t help.

For the first time since you’d found this place, his eyes were fierce. A promise of action behind them. This human should be safe. He slept all the time. Barely moving. The books left all over, but precisely placed in stacks made it easy to hide. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

“No… they are wrong.” In his hand, Vivia’s words rattled your bones. They were soft, but the bass of his voice couldn’t be hidden. You started to shake. After all this time you would die. You didn’t even understand how he’d seen you. What made him check now of all times!? “You aren’t a spy…”

Words bubbled in your throat, but time worked against you. Vivia moved, the air from his speed left you choking. You watched from the sky as he… removed the evidence you left behind? Footsteps in the strange sticky substance were all too easily smoothed away. He wiped down the counter all around it too. If you left any sign of your existence it was gone now. All cleaned up by the giant human holding you in a tight fist. He ended it with another one of his sighs.

Until now you thought the worst thing that could happen already did. A human had you in hand. Then Vivia started to walk. Your stomach fell to the floor as he carried you through the air. The muscles under his skin tensing and relaxing with each step. Keen eyes staring at you, watching you, with each move.

“Is this a new forte perhaps?” he asked. Tears fell from your eyes, landing on his pale skin. The fingers holding you almost seemed to twitch. Another heavy sigh. Why did he have to keep sighing!? “No, I suppose not. You would have changed back by now…”

You chanced meeting Vivia’s eyes and looked up. He looked away, towards the entrance to the home. A new fear filled your body. He could show you off. The few people who came to visit a lot of the time were much more frightening than Vivia. They would talk about things, reports, news, fame. A flood of tears left you as he started to walk again.

You fought your own will to try and speak. To try and scream, plead, beg. Anything to feel like you haven’t lost all chance to live. A yelp escaped as he fell onto the couch, the one he had used constantly. He shifted to lie on his side before moving you again. Before holding you in front of those stern purple eyes, lazy and uninterested looked better on him. 

“Stay quiet…” he insisted. More tears fell. It was already impossible to fight back. You were too confident, too foolish. Others told you this place would be bad. You should have listened.

Vivia sighed again. The fear you felt was slowly being replaced by anger. He acted as if you were the problem. All you did was to survive and somehow you disturbed him. A few crumbs from the warm food wouldn’t be missed. Courage built in you, but Vivia managed to squash it quickly. All by moving you again.

He slipped you under one of the weird bandage-like wraps he wore instead of clothes. Pressed directly over his chest… over his heart. He didn’t lay on this side usually. The thumping felt calming, almost reassuring as he sighed again. From where he kept you his coat had you hidden. At the same time you could just barely see over it, see the book. The one that he’d been reading earlier.

Despite your fear you grew curious. You stretched to try and see the words. All you could make out was incident… You’d never heard that word before. As if responding to your stretching, Vivia tilted the book up. It was a bit easier to read, but the words were hard to understand. By the time a page turned you’d barely read a sentence. It had become somehow… somehow relaxing.

The sound of the door opening reminded you to be afraid. You curled up beneath the wrap. Against Vivia’s skin. His warmth at least left you feeling better than the walls usually did. He sighed again, but it sounded kind of forced. There were rushed steps that ended in two people groaning. You recognized their voices. They visited Vivia a lot, one of them talked about being famous most of the time. You started shaking again. These two would show you to the whole world.

“Vivia! Did you keep watch?! It said something had been here!” the loud one with blond hair shouted. “Did you keep watch with your forte?”

“I did,” he sighed. “Nothing happened. I didn’t see anything…”

“No way!”

“Come on Desuhiko, Vivia wouldn’t let something bad happen. He didn’t see anything. Maybe we should just report that it’s not true,” the nervous and sensible one answered. You never came out when he was around, something made you think he knew too much. You poked your head out, the purple haired one was standing over Vivia. His eyes were staring right where you were. Vivia shifted slightly, lifting his book up more and hiding you from sight. “Let’s go report back that it was nothing.”

“All right, fine rookie. You’re really positive nothing was here Vivia?”

“Not a thing…” Vivia’s sigh nearly reached you. The scent of his breath did, oddly enough it reminded you of evenings. “I wanna die someday…”

“A-alright. We’ll go report things.”

Silence surrounded you both as the other humans left. You curled up again, he hid you. If he hid you then he was going to keep you. If he kept you, he’d probably get tired of you. You’d be a pet until he lost interest. From how he acted it seemed like it would be fast. A week or two maybe. Then you’d die forgotten and alone. You had to-

A scream escaped you as his fingers found you, wrapping tightly around your small body. The man was moving again, standing. He sighed, but still pulled you into the open air. It made you shiver, a human body gave off so much heat. Heat you almost never got to feel. You forced yourself to look up at him, he watched you with one eye closed. The purple mesmerized you. The stern look had morphed to curiosity. Curiosity could be worse. The entire time he walked you couldn’t stop yourself from staring at him.

The hand holding you moved again, finally breaking you from your trance. The tense fingers relaxed until you fell out of them… and on top of the plate with the hot muffin. Vivia’s elbows landed on the counter around you. Overhead he loomed, a horrible shadow covered his eyes thanks to his green and black hair. The warmth from the food had you tempted to grab what you could before he acted.

“You wanted that didn’t you?” he sighed. Again with the sighing. You were scared to tell him yes. Unfortunately your stomach grumbled. He sighed again. “You can eat it…”

“W-why?” you squeaked out. Vivia shrugged his shoulders. It made the plate you sat on rock and sent you sliding into the crumbled muffin. At that point it didn’t matter anymore. You grabbed some of the warm food and shoved it in your mouth, happy to have it for once.

“Watch out next time. They’ll probably try again,” Vivia shook his head. “Such a waste of energy.”

“A-aren’t you gonna trap me? Ask me things?! A-anything?”

“No… That sounds like a lot of work… Try not to get stuck again.” Vivia stood up and yawned. “Oh… Let me know if you need more book paths. I don’t mind, they’re easier to read out like this. Haaa. I wanna die someday.”

You watched him walk away. The heavy steps making the crumbled muffin around you bounce. He knew… he actually had made the book stacks for you. You put some muffin in your bag weirdly relieved that this human knew about you. You ate for a bit longer before running off, carefully avoiding the sticky substance. You jumped over the books, but paused to look out at Vivia. Casually lying on the couch reading his book. One day you might even ask him about all those words you couldn’t read and the ones the humans said you didn’t understand.

[thejesterfrog]

me n my friends are making a crossover AU for a roleplay we're starting up soon and i was itching to draw designs for the characters i'm gonna be playing. ESPECIALLY cause i realised i'd get to draw yuma and yomi as itty bitty high schoolers. yomi looks so stupid it's making me giggle yappery abt them below

yomi's the stereotypical tv show bully with a sprinkle of death threats mixed in meanwhile yuma's just... doing his best! look at his dumb little face. we should crush him with a hydraulic press

shuichi's just your avg social reject with a love for big sweaters and hiding out in his room (and who ever said i project onto characters i like??🙄🙄) himiko's SUCH a scene kid to me. like she has a million of those silly colourful slap bracelets and tells everyone that they're wards of protection.

been very art pilled recently it seems so i'm both sorry and not sorry for the influx of drawings i'm pushing out. there's some more characters to the right but they're just my lda + danganronpa ocs and idk if people want to see those 😪

Hundred Line Last Defense Academy Ending 001: Minor SPOILERS

LONGPOST BELOW:

So on day 25 of this route, more than half of your team falls prey to a bad cold as an actual plot point of the story. This moment naturally got me super giddy x3

After one of the various blackouts the heaters shut off in everyone’s rooms. Causing a cold chill in everyone’s rooms for the night.

Takumi was awake to hear the warning and was able to warm up. I was thinking “wait are people gonna get sick over this? Hmm there’s no way right? Just wishful thinking on my part.”

But then Takumi wakes up the next morning and only 2 other people (Gaku and Takemaru) are in the cafeteria. When Nozomi shows up a bit later she asks:

Yeah everyone else forgot to bundle up at night. I was like LETS GOOOO!!! Everyone else is sick!!! It’s an actual canon moment!!

I like how Sirei says it's "probably" not serious, but it probably is serious... xD All anime colds are DEADLY after all :3c (they’re sick for 3 whole days if you don’t finish the medicine)

The next exploration mission involves getting the ingredients to make medicine for everyone. Which yeah I love that, its a good way to have a fixed team set off to gather materials.

Sadly to my disappointment, after making the medicine, that was it. No caretaking moments, they just distributed the medicine offscreen

I was so mad. This game has a majority of the team fall sick as a plot point. AND WITH NO PAYOFF.

Huge missed opportunity to not allow the player choose one specific person that they heal first, have a bonding scene, have their affinity raise by one full diamond, and THEN heal everyone else offscreen.

Like come ON at least give me something!! Everyone laid out with a deathly bad cold and having getting medicine be a mission. I love that. BUT WHERE’S MY CARETAKING SCENE?? I’m so greedy as an illness whump enthusiast, but with a scenario like this can you BLAME me??

So in my salt and need for closure I decided “FINE I’LL JUST DO IT MYSELF!!” So I got sprites of all of the people that were sick and made sick edits of them. Thought it would be fun to edit sprites again. (keep in mind, these are not only full body, but also more limited in expressions than the Raincode sprites so they were a BIT trickier to mess with.) I think I did decently tho.

Hope you enjoy some more sick edits from me :3

Time to imagine my own caretaking scenes: I like to imagine each person gave 2 people the medicine and took care of them.

Takumi tends to Tsubasa and Yugamu

Takemaru tends to Hiruko and Shouma

Nozomi tends to Kurara and Moko

and Gaku tends to the twins.

Takumi would tend to Yugamu, because lets be real, he's another fan favorite Takumi ship of the community as I've seen, and I bet he would LOVE to be cared for by Takumi only for Takumi to likely run away... XD (such a gay freaky little man) And as for Tsubasa, idk I feel like if I had the option to choose who I wanted to tend to, it'd be Tsubasa, she's one of my favorites so I'll be biased here. I think she'd be such a cute and cooperative little patient >w< Super easygoing for Takumi.

Takemaru would naturally tend to Shouma, of course he's his little buddy! I can just imagine him feeding him some protein filled stew to give him energy and Shouma is in tears, snuggling the shiba plushie in bed as Takemaru tends to him because he thinks he doesn't deserve the kindness ;w; As for Hiruko, Takemaru likes her, but I think he'd drop the medicine off and leave wishing her well. He knows Hiruko can take care of herself and won't sully her reputation.

Of course Nozomi would want to be tending to her 2 gal pals. Specifically Kurara given the two recently just made up after their little drama. And despite having a cold, Moko would probably still want to help Nozomi tend to Kurara but Nozomi just ushers her to bed because she's still not well herself x3 I think Kurara would be the more fragile of the 2 (especially without her mask, but she can't wear it while she's running a fever lol)

and that leaves Gaku to deal with the twins. By process of elimination there's no real personal connection, but since the twins are the youngest, and Gaku likely tended to his own siblings, he'd probably be okay with tending to them. But I bet the caretaking would be chaos with Ima snapping at him every time he tries to help Kako. (may as well be chaos for gaku, everything is chaos for him)

Anyway yeah I just wanted to gab about this moment. It annoyed me, but it also gave me the motivation to make more edits. Been a while but yeah may as well make HL edits if I don't wanna make any art... xD

[shiut]

btw protip: when making fankid designs, look at the concept art of the parents for inspiration

[ibblescribbles]

Do you think you will ever check out Raincode? It's made by the same people who made DR but with a more focus on mystery. (It has the same vibes and stuff, I feel like you would like it a lot) another thing, the writing is so banger

Yes, I've already played Raincode!! Really enjoyed it, especially for the DR-like vibe and I actually made charms of the main cast:

I have sketches of Yomi and Yakou that I've been meaning to add to this set for ages but haven't been able to bring myself to refine them ;v; Makes me happy when people recognize the Raincode merch at cons tho! I'm really excited for Kodaka's new game too, I haven't played the demo yet!

[rainbow-journalist]

☠️ Are you okay, small Master?~

Feeling sad today, especially because of the last post, so I made this drawing of chibi Yuma and Shinigami, Or maybe she's in giant form and he's normal size? Who knows? I wanted to do something cute, to distract myself. I'll leave this here, maybe I should keep mkym stuff just for myself.... Yes, that's a stupid, maybe i should sleep.

[sp-ud]

Playing The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy demo: 😊

Realizing you now have to wait a month for the rest of the game: 😔☹️

[rainfeathers]

Alright gang because I’m normal and sane I’ve decided to mesh two interests of mine into a sort of rain code pigeon au.

update: this has now been dubbed the rain coo’d AU

Maybe if I get time I’ll doodle some of this. Who knows. Anyways onto the show.

(this does have spoilers for the entire game tread carefully)

What pigeons would these freaks be? Nocturnal detective agency edition:

Yakou: the pigeon™️. A blue bar (or check) Rock dove that we all know and love. Knows these streets but also scuttles away from danger. Seen as dirty, or ignored by a lot of people, but very cool when u get to know him. Also his bed: bare minimum.

Halara: racing homer. Specifically some variety of splash (maybe over a t-check blue) as it matches the values of their hair and coat. Normal ish pigeon but stronger, faster, and generally upgraded in every way.

Desuhiko: horseman thief pouter pigeon. A breed of pigeon bred specifically to lure other pouters away from their lofts to steal them (though the sport isn’t active nowadays). I have these, and they’re incredibly like Desuhiko. They’re loud, they stomp around, they do anything they can to draw attention to themselves.

Vivia: capuchin pigeon. Looks pretty enough to steal the show, but tends to avoid action. They don’t fly much and tend to just loaf around looking interesting. They look like the type of bird who’d be haunted by ghosts.

Fubuki: Lahore pigeon. Specifically a lavender one. These are one of the most common fancy pigeons to keep as pets, why? Because they’re very sweet, easy to get along with, and still conventionally pretty in a way that appeals to the majority. Looks aside they’re absolute sweethearts of birds, and very laid back.

Yuma: Ice Pigeon. Small bird, big boots, and the distinct pale color they have just looks like a Yuma if he were a pigeon. The dark eyes and pale feathers give them something of a baby face, even as adults.

Bonus

Makoto: also an ice pigeon. He’d be the same as Yuma, but I think he’d have smaller to no leg muffs. For his mask I think he’d wear a pigeon equivalent of one of those falcon hoods.

Might do the peacekeepers next. I’ve had one in mind for Yomi since I came up with this idea.

[treyla-n01r]

Mr. Kodaka, what is up with another total banger purple short king???
