#uu creed

[tadpolebobatea]

(unders first few years seem like they’d be really awkward, just tella, the man he respects above anything, and the war criminal that man has decided to bring along for the ride)

I think about it a lot. Probably the room I would least like to be in though, I’d like to be far away from whatever this is.

[your-zipper-is-down]

Creed's crew seems adorable, I'm glad they stick around the Union

[uu-tella]

A mention, from a Vol. 12 extra

[ayanarts-01]

[wickedsick]

Page 1 and we already acknowledge this stuff, let's go. Trans Juiz real?

(also love how fucking around with Apocalypse is a Boss tradition now)

Oh.

...Juiz trans real? Please?

He's the only one who can reach such a desolate, lifeless, horrible place

(I'm British, I can make that joke)

Okay, 13 seats, including Fuuko- this tells us a lot.

Sick was officially an Open quest- Rip wasn't part of the table at that point, and Latla still isn't.

The table evolves at 12 or 13 people- and one of these seats was a reward for Sick's quest.

There's like no way Granpasshin is still in the armor.

Let's go through it.

Burn is back. His reward is based on A Silent Voice.

Summer's reward is too generic for me to pinpoint a specific inspiration - maybe it's a Warhammer, for Harley Quinn?

Both First Ten reward the same thing of two roundtable seats, which is probably what Sick gave, too.

I predicted UMA Beast, but wasn't sure about Language, since Nico soloed Language last loop. I guess this just means either Language doesn't like to fight, or Nico's the fucking greatest.

I'm gonna go with Nico being the greatest.

Given that Summer's here, and Feng still isn't a member, that's gotta be where it happens. Are they gonna give Mui Untruth again?

Oh shit, the big one. How close are we to Ragnarök? It's gotta be pretty close. Anyway, Summer is a capture, so this is manageable. Wait, no, we killed Autumn earlier. What?

The meta pick. But also, Nico could take down a First Ten by himself.

THE BOOK HAS FEELINGS! FUCK YEAH!

Apocalypse is the Heart stocks going up!

The fact that everyone fucking adores Juiz is so good.

Fuuko's pose there is just like Gina pre-phil being gay about Fuuko- Fuuko bisexual real?

Also she's literally blushing.

I was about to say Gina is crying over Fuuko loving Juiz so much but then I noticed Sean fucking stole a bite out of her cupcake. Menace.

Julia U. Stitia is a good name.

[dreamnants-mis]

Fuuko: Whose turn is it to give the pre-quest pep-talk? Nico: Creed. Creed: Fuck shit up, don't die. Void: Inspirational.

Undead Unluck Chapter 153

Oh Shit!

Oh Fuck!

Nico’s been hit with a pound of Unluck!

On another note, we get definition for this universe’s version of Unfair, with Billy needing to envy someone in order to copy their ability, which worries me by its potential to backfire as Billy becomes more of an equal to the rest of the Union.

BUT THATS A PROBLEM FOR LATER BECAUSE NICO’S A DEAD MAN IF WE DON’T STOP THIS THING FROM CRUSHING HIM.

Well that settles that. Nico is saved, and we can move on to the next tragedy with Billy, Tella, and Creed in tow.

FUCK YEAH ITS BEEN TOO LONG SINCE A SHONEN JUMP SERIES WENT TO THE MOON

Unfeel’s been absent for a while, so it’ll be nice to bring him back as a member of the Union. You know who else has been absent for a while though...?

[idiopathicsmile]

the hardest part of growing up Unitarian Universalist in a small, conservative midwestern town was that pretty much nobody outside the church had any idea what it was.

i know this is not the case in parts of the east coast, and probably parts of the west coast too, but in rural illinois, when i said i wasn't christian but unitarian, the default assumption was that i was part of some weird cult.

i would try to explain the basics of my religion—no creed, no requirements to believe in any deities (but you can if you want), the emphasis is on kindness and acceptance of others and finding the spiritual path that works for you—but it's a pretty esoteric thing for a child to try to verbalize, particularly to other children.

kids on the playground would get as far as "wait, so you don't believe jesus christ is your lord and savior?" then they'd drop me in the "going to hell" bucket and be done with me.

one time in middle school, one of my closest friends said "oh hey, what is it that you believe again?" and when i was about halfway through my little elevator speech, i said something about tolerance of difference and she threw a significant look at three of my other closest friends because the four of them had gotten really into the Left Behind books and turns out that in that particular series, "tolerance" is one of the favorite words of The Antichrist. that's why they'd asked.

the fucking antichrist.

on the other hand, the funniest part of growing up Unitarian Universalist in a small, conservative midwestern town was that pretty much nobody outside the church had any idea what it was.

in sixth grade, we were supposed to wear heavy, gloppy foundation and blush and eye shadow to be extras in the school play. i knew from other school plays that it irritated the hell out of my skin, and so, figuring that alone would probably not spare me, i told the adult in charge that i couldn't wear stage makeup because it was "against my belief system."

she was like, "oh yeah? what's your religion?"

when i said "Unitarian" not a single adult in the room knew what that meant well enough to push back. i went on stage bare-faced.

i looked like a ghost up there but the thing about being UU is that even as a kid, you get to decide for yourself what is spiritually important to you. and on that day i decided that part of my personal, cosmic, holy truth was exploiting loopholes to avoid itchy rashes all over my face, amen.

Undead Unluck Cinderella!AU: The Masterpost

Hi :3 it's been a while, but i had been non-stop drawing to bring you all the Cinderella!AU cast with UU characters, i will write the basics of the story later bc i'm incapable of writing long paragraphs.

The drawing that made me start this AU

Let's start with our protagonist, Fuuko as Cinderella:

But our dear protagonist needs her mice friends:

We got our mains first: Haruka, Top, Gina, Sean and Chikara, taking the places of Jaq and Gus

I remember that there were mice kids/children, the younglings!

Phil, Bunny, Tatiana, Lucy and Betty (almost forgot her)

Mice! Veronica and Tella are here to take care of them/protect them from the evil cats

With how many chores have to be done everyday around the house, there have to be some specialised mice:

In the kitchen, Billy works with the sweets, Enjin helps with the almost everything (he's too passionate for this job) and Rip cuts the veggies. Yusai can´t be let near the drinks alone, but she always knows the best one for the occasion.

There's so many clothes that need mending and cleaning, the Sewing Team: Latla, Kurusu and Leila, are the right mice to do the job.

(ps. i bet Kurusu and Gina smugled that book to make cute dresses for Fuuko)

Sooo many books to keep clean and organised in this house, good thing Mice Anno Un and Akira are doing their damn best to keep the house library in peak condition, they even have the time to dramatise Fuuko's favorite romance books for everyone

Mouse Feng does everything around the house, why? because he wants to be better than Fuuko in everything

Miscellaneous Mice bcs i don't know in what role do they fit: Grandpa Isshin, Creed, Mei, Shen, Mui, Mui's little brother (do we even know his name?), Ms. Hawkins and Void.

And we can't forget our dear doggo Burn, taking dog Bruno's place

This Au is not complete without some villains

Human! Luna as Lady Tremaine, BUT she's not Fuuko's stepmother, Lady Luna is a distant relative, grandfather's niece and further kinda deal

Lady Luna has three kids:

Big Brother Soul, the kind of person to say "BuT wE aRe FaMiLy" when he does something bad to Fuuko but would absolutely not tolerate any of Fuuko's mistakes

Middle Brother Apocalypse, evil? no, no, no, he's a tsundere, the kind to say "i'm not washing the clothes because i want to help you or anything! it's just that you are too clumsy". Fuuko sees right through his bullshit and thanks him eveytime she can to Apocchy's embarrassment

And Little Bother/Sister Ruin (i'm more inclined to fem!Ruin), she's considerably more aggressive to Fuuko than the rest, her aggressiveness spurred on by her mom Luna and big brother Soul. Apocalypse has tried to help her to no avail.

THE CAT! Why should we limit ourselves to one evil cat, when we can have FOUR?

Shadow hides in the dark corners and stairs, waiting for an unsuspecting victim, putting themselves in the middle of the path to make them trip

Blood wakes up and craves violence, he scratches the furniture, the curtains and people... Fuuko stays the fuck away from this evil cat

Spoil can't be let alone with the food, he steals it but he doesn't eat it, no, he enjoys watching it spoil and the faces of disgust from the people that find his masterpiece, fortunately dogo Burn is always guarding the kitchen.

Seal enjoys watching the desperation in peoples' faces as he slowly pushes the fine glassware from the top drawer to the cold hard floor, unfortunately for Seal, Mouse Feng is always watching

Do you remember the Gran Duke? the poor man was so close to die, but for this AU, we have the Grand Duke and Duchess, Nico and Ichico (Which one is who is up to you)

We got our King! King Juiz, KING JUIZ, KING JUIZ!!!

If you saw the third animated Cinderella movie, you would remember the Queen's paintings, and i decided that we need a Queen (an alive one), salute our dear Queen: Queen Victor!! (do you forgive me for putting him on a dress? 🥺)

At last, we need our prince for this AU, but why have only one?!

Crown Prince Andy and Second Prince(ss) Julia

We need our Fairy Godmother to bring some miracles to life! And i couldn't pick anyone else for this role than my beloved, Spring 🌸

Let him have some fun!!

This is the real last one, but although it wasn't a sentient character, it would be unforgivable not casting Clothy as Fuuko's dress

(Can you imagine what Andy would do to Clothy once he discovers that he's Fuuko's dress? 💀)

That's all the character designs for this AU, and now i can start drawing some scenes for this AU.

Enjoy this AU compiled timelapse for all the designs in the meantime!

[buhbuhlmao]

Oh boy, I sure do hope my uu week posts don’t inch even closer to the end-of-day mark, haha.

Day 5: Favorite arc: Ragnarok, buuut since everyone already said what I want to praise on the arc, my other favorite arc is….

Negator War.

Like I said in day 1, I’m a sucker for when the side cast actually have time to shine, and this is, up until now, the only arc where this many previously kinda irrelevant members of Under actually get their moments.

The recruiting process were some fun setup chapters, and then the arc made some amazing character development for Tella (way too little in loop 100) and Sean (literally his character pic in the popularity poll is his loop 100 death pic).

I found it kinda funny that the non-combative Negators in this arc ended up being in the mainline group with the same inportance as Nico and Ichico, while Yusai and Creed basically got sidelined two arcs later.

My main reason for the arc being by 2nd favorite is that, I considered this arc to be Billy’s actual redemption moment, not chapter 118. We finally know the rest of his backstory and what prompted him to to all those things in loop 100.

The 100th Union is a sort of family to him that it pains him to see said family members, some of whom are his former child’s age go into battle with humanity-ending monsters, that he uses the power that feeds upon hatred and vigilance to be the strongest (something he explained without elaborating to Andy in the Spring arc) to shoulder all burdens.

Headcanon: Rereading this arc, I saw that Luna witnesses at least the following:

-Untell’s awakening in both loops

-Undecreasing manifesting and the troops sent in to betray Creed

-The new Union jumping Billy and Unfair activating

-Billy vs Fuuko

-Disc’s destruction.

The rest of the events either happened during the day or heacy weather.

[juwnbi]

UU spew cause I've finished book 7 and 8.

I wish Feng a very die. That will probably change but for now get Victor'd. Mans probably killed his entire family if they were still alive.

You cannot tell me Mui becoming the new Untruth user was just a coincidence. That had to have been on purpose.

Creed proving he's American

Billy this is about to go terribly for you.

[tadpolebobatea]

Day 3 - Favourite dynamic (i'd file this under romantic, platonic, and unhealthy)

Billy Tella. UU blorbos number 1 and 2.

The pookies, I love their dynamic in all instances but something about the angst of the 100th really gets me. The whole going to hell together thing appeals to my poor soggy soul.

(Something something cigarette lighting symbolic for tella assisting with Billy’s self destruction something something)

(cigarette lighting is symbolic for my completely healthy interest is rgg games. come closer i dont bite )

I'm just a sucker for the whole "captain and his right hand man " dynamic, something about unconditional loyalty and devotion and the attitude of "i owe you my life. maybe more than that" is so so so so good

Timelapse (I couldn’t make any of these poses work. It drove me fucking mental)

[your-zipper-is-down]

CAST ANNOUNCEMENT!

Chikara - Ayumu Murase (Hinata from Haikyuu, Kage from Ranking of Kings)

Latla - Ikumi Hasegawa (Ikuyo Kita from Bochi)

Feng - Toshiyuki Morikawa (Dante from Devil May Cry)

Creed - Yasumoto Hiroki (Agni from Black Butler, King from OPM)

[uu-tella]

Full panel under the cut

[tokiro07]

Not sure if you see it this way, but I think UDUL has a pretty interesting take on “living is suffering”:

- I feel like some of the past “traumatic events” of the cast (Fuuko, Yusai, Gina, Void and Chikara to an extent) are too “melodramatic” for me to fully take seriously. I’m not sure if I just got desensitized to the “big accident happens, many people die / career lost” kind of story. Some backstories I think are meant to be half-funny like Sean’s.

- What I really love in this series is how those Negators live their lives AFTER said traumtic event happened. I was way more invested in flashbacks in Autumn and Spring arc of Fuuko’s life and copings following the plane accident. This cast with varied ways of life after their power tragedies like being deppressed and trying to take burdens on themselves, getting over the death of their best friends/relatives, living reclused lives, dedicating their lives serving a cause or even turning to petty crimes and assassinating, with one particular guy not even realizing the “tragedy” still follows him being never satisfied with his current strength.

Anyway that’s my overall thought on why UU is interesting to me - someone who usually hates melodrama. I couldnt find any post of you on this topic so I figure I should say my thoughts here.

I can definitely see the overblown traumatic events taking someone out of it. Fuuko's never bothered me since the problem was her parents, everyone else was just a natural extension of the circumstance, but Gina taking out an entire town with no clear strong personal connection to anyone there is both too large of a scale and too impersonal for me to be invested in beyond the understanding that it's objectively bad

The smaller the scale, the easier it is to sympathize; Nico's only clear memory of his wife being her pained face upon death, Shen personally dropping his sister off of a cliff, Tatiana instantly obliterating her family and home, Creed being left for dead by his own military, these are all pains and losses that are pretty easy to understand

And of course, learning how to live post-tragedy is what Undead Unluck is all about. We all experience loss sooner or later, and it's easy to blame oneself for it. Waking up the next day and going on as if nothing happened can be harder than the experience itself, but allowing yourself to be consumed by it is just a waste. Life is meant to be lived, and no matter what guilt you carry, you still deserve to find happiness. You may need to make amends first, even if only to forgive yourself, but you deserve to enjoy life

Undead Unluck is about all of the different kinds of guilt and pain and loss that keep people from being happy and finding ways to overcome them and be happy. Undead Unluck's answer is near-universally to find joy by being with others, "heaven is other people" so to speak, but that isn't necessarily the only answer in real life. It's a good one, for sure, but I doubt Tozuka would want anyone to fall into despair at the realization that they're having trouble finding other people

The unrealistic scale of tragedy is undoubtedly just a matter of this being fiction; any idea, no matter how big or horrible, can be explored in its entirety in fiction, so big things can be made to happen for the sake of making an impact. Even if you can't sympathize, one just needs to understand why it would have an effect on those in context, and what it means for them to move past it

I hope that helps!

UU Week 2024, Day 5: Favorite Arc

This one was hard.

Ragnarok has good moments, but it removes Fuuko for a really long time.

Unmove has some of my favorite slice-of-life, but like with everything in 101, it feels a bit too fast to be my favorite.

In the end, I came back to Old Reliable- Summer.

Summer arc is probably the most self-contained arc in the series. There's only a few big changes to the roster (Untruth getting moved to Mui, Feng being removed from the board), and it's not dependent on the rest of the series like, say, Spring.

Instead, Summer is about two things. Some of the best fights in the series, and the best mini-cast.

Undead Unluck has a few 'mini-casts'- Team Buroja, Team France, and Team China.

We don't really get to see much of Buroja interacting, and everyone on Team France is on the same side, but China is a bunch of screwed-up people colliding with each other like forks in a garbage disposal and I love it.

Shen was the 'third wheel' for the first two arcs before bowing out in Unrepair and Autumn, but Summer brings him and Mui back into the forefront in a big way. It's his flashback, his mentor, his worldview- and eventually, his death.

Now, back to the best fights in the series. There's two fights this arc, and they're both a 1vEveryone. Feng vs Andy, Shen, Fuuko, and Mui, and Summer vs the above + Top, Chikara, and Tatiana.

The only other real instance of an extended 1vE is Ragnarok, and Sun's just not the same as Feng.

Feng's almost manic energy throughout the fight makes him an utter delight. He figures out how to counter Andy after Autumn, assuring the audience that the Book Boost did not suddenly make Andy more powerful than everyone else- it just expanded his kit.

As the fight continues, we get the biggest death in UU- and Shen's subsequent revival.

I have so much to say about Feng, but let's move on to Summer itself. After Feng is dealt with, we have to take out the big firework dragon- and that's when Top, Tati, and Chikara come in.

Most other UMA are a smaller effort. Even Spring and Sick eventually came down to one-on-one.

Summer is an example of a bunch of people coming together to take down a big boss, and it works.

The eventual destruction of Summer serves double duty- for one, it shows just how well some abilities can stack together, and two, it shows the flaws in Feng's philosophy.

Feng would not have been able to beat Summer. There is literally not a single thing he could've done to beat Phase 2- because he doesn't have the necessary skills.

But then again, Tatiana doesn't have the necessary skills to solo summer either. Nor does Andy or Shen.

But when you combine everyone's abilities, Summer becomes a complete joke. He gets bent around like a pool noodle, frozen before using a single attack, and killed by a blast that, last we saw, didn't even take out Creed or Feng. Feng's philosophy of individual might would have hit a big fat wall even if he did somehow win against everyone.

Summer has something to say, and it says it. It says it in the language of dislocated elbows, and fireworks, and free-falling makeouts, and it says it loud.
