19, He/They, EST. GlitchingMind is my base blog. Banner by @/WaitlExist, go follow her Please dni if you’re proship/terf/radqueer/pro or neutral AI/basic dni.
Hi! You can call me Teddy or Tired. Or any variation of my user. Pronouns are He/They (slight preference for He). I am 18+.
I'm a fan of many things, but Twisted Wonderland has taken over my mind for now. The other things I like will likely pop up on this blog too.
This blog is where I shove my writing and art onto. Feel free to interact!
A lot of my favorites things, like characters change often. What I have on my intro is mostly at the moment. I might also focus heavily on one oc and write or talk a decent amount in them for a bit too, before going to another.
Also semi-sharing with Vil. I don’t like the term yume since it’s an oc and not a self insert. I don’t mind other Vil shippers or yumes interacting, I just want to choose to interact with Vil ship specific posts and stuff.
(* Note, while I try to keep my blog mostly family friendly, I ask minors or those outside my age range to be mindful when interacting with me.)

I don’t have many social media, but for things like ArtFight and AO3 I go by TiredTime. (It’s my psude on AO3 after some misunderstandings on my end)
Since this is a side blog also because I can get shy, I sometimes go to anon. I especially did this before I was comfortable with my base being connected to this blog (now I don’t care). I usually use 🔆anon.

I have many characters/OCs, most are from TWST but a few are completely original. I would love to answer any questions about any of them.
A lot of them are on @/return-to-twisted-wonderland with the prompt of “a character related to a canon character goes missing as a young child/infant only to reappear at NRC years later.”

Here’s my Answered Questions: (Questions I thought might be/have been asked)
For as many characters I have related to canon, I actually do have some non related pure Yuu type characters so I wanted to do a quick intro for them. Finally people who are actually in ramshackle lol, tho none of them are human since writing nonhumans is fun.
Also, these characters are in separate aus from each other. While I might give them aus where they interact with each other or my other ocs (I do this with Sera a lot), their canon stories are separate. They’re also different levels of complete, and you can find the level they’re at here.
TW: Death and abuse. Their last moments are what send them to NRC, so I go a bit into those. (Sera’s has a bit more gore/violence in that section than the others)

Seraphine
Species: Angel (her versions of angels are specifically based off doves/pigeons)
Age: 16
Height: ~6’0/6’1
Appearance: Long wavy blond hair and pale skin with pure white eyes, small white wings where her ears should be, large white wings on her head, white tail feathers , and a bright halo she can move to stay above her despite her position. Though, she is fully capable of hiding that and looking like a normal human with blonde hair, and yellow eyes to blend in. Her angelic form can poke out if she gets stressed, and with extreme stress, she’s unable to hide it at all. (The human form is more a second harder to keep form that takes magic to go between more than a from that needs magic to be upheld)
Ship: Luna (by @waitlexist) with the ship name Azata they are from different worlds but meant to take place at the same NRC. She also has a noncanon/au ship with Kit (another oc of mine) with the ship name Angelic FairyFox
Backstory Summary:
Angels, along with other powerful species (such as demon, fae, dragons, ect) were the rulers of the world Sera was from. Angels specifically were known for a strict hierarchy, and orphans sadly were at the lowest rung. Being at the lowest rung, it was a known secret that orphanages would pick and train children as obedient soldiers or guards. Seraphine was one of those children.
Sera grew up shoving down any will of her own, knowing her job was to sacrifice anything at the whims of those above her. She was made a gaurd for a high ranking noble, even sent to battle a few times in the noble’s stead. She was often treated with little thoughts to any of her wants or desires, making Sera shove them down harder. Anytime something went wrong, she was often the target of verbal or physical abuse, even by other servants who were there longer thus had higher rank.
Eventually it was revealed that the master Sera served was plotting treason. They blamed it on Sera who falsely admitted to it without a question as to what would happen to herself. Charged with treason, they ripped off her back wings (which were seen as an angel’s pride) and left her to die of infection or blood loss in a dungeon. She was cold and alone, and in her dying moments let herself wish for things to be better and wish for friends and a peaceful life. The next thing she knew she woke up in a coffin at the NRC entrance ceremony.
Magic: The word Sera is from has its own form of magic that she keeps in twst. Magic was a natural thing all of the magical creatures (angels, demons, fae, ect) had in her world. It is an inate power that flows through them to keep them alive. They are able to change the flow to create spells by allowing them to use the energy as a force they can change properties of (like temp, density, color, ect). But doing so is bad on their systems, since it is basically using their own life force. The energy they use is recoverable, but it takes time. Even just continually using magic for a spar that’s an hour or so long can have a noticeable impact on how well Sera feeling.
Notes: She is a lesbian and will gay panic since most women are attractive. — She does coo as well as build pigeon style nests (that she is very proud of). She also does molt and it is very uncomfortable, so especially once she learns to stand up for herself, do not mess with her. — Her color scheme is gold and white since those are colors often associated with angels. — She ends up finding an interest in making jewelry, especially with the details, emotions, and thought you can put into it. That becomes her job in the future. — Bday is June 17th — She’s very strong and pretty muscular.

Cyrus Sol
Species: Bald Eagle Harpy
Age: 34
Height: 6’3
Appearance: Brown skin with golden eyes, loose/medium curled white hair, white feathers for ears. His hands have talons at the ends of his fingers. His legs are similar to bird legs, with the scaled skin starts on the bottom half and his feet being bird talons. He has large wings at his back and large tail feathers, both a dark brown. There are patches of his body (mostly his back, sides of his face, and his shoulders) that also are feathered with dark brown feathers.
Ship: Divus Crewel (No ship name yet)
Backstory:
Cyrus was a harpy well liked by others. He was smart, physically capable, well educated, and everything that made the prideful bald eagles see him hopefully. And as someone who loved working with kids, it didn’t take long for one of the highest noble families to choose him to be the head caretaker for their child.
But it didn’t take long for Cyrus to see the child was often neglected and ignored by parents who despised the idea of being involved with a child who had no accomplishments yet. It also didn’t take long for Cyrus to realize how everyone else of the same noble stature treated others the same. He was disgusted and immediately decided he’d be as much of a parent as he could be for the kid, being as safe a space he could. Cyrus also grew suspicious of those in control, especially those in control of children. While he was sweet and bubbly around kid, he was overly formal to other adults. He tried his best to barrier kids from the cruelty he saw, even if that meant being extremely hesitant to let them grow and explore the world on their own.
Eventually there was an accident involving the child he was the carer of, and being in the position he was, he took the blame. In anger, he was killed as “vengeance”. In his last moments he wished he could have done more, saved more of the innocent children he wanted nothing but the best for. Shockingly, he woke up being welcomed out of a coffin and wearing robes by a man calling himself Headmaster Crowley.
Magic: None. Just as Yuu, he’s magicless.
Notes: He takes on a very parental role at NRC, especially after seeing the first overblot and learning the pain it can from. Ace and Deuce he tries to help out (mirroring them being the first friends of Yuu). — He was suspicious of all the teachers at first, including Crewel. He does eventually see they have the best in mind for their students, but that takes time especially as he thinks they can be overly strict. He find a lot of issues with Crowley tho. — He’s probably the character I adore family fluff the most with along side Toryn. He’s a dad through and through. — I imagine him to be very square in appearance/body type.

Noel (last name tbd)
I’m going to be honest, he is new and very undeveloped. A lot here might be blank of vague.
Species: Some kind of Bunnyfolk
Age: 13
Height: Uncertain, but likely around 5’1 (close to Riddle)
Appearance: I haven’t settled on one yet, but I intend to make him more visibly bunny than a twst beastman might be. Likely around the human/non human mix of Cyrus, though I’ve been toying with making him more anthro bunny. With a major caveat being his species is more dangerous than a prey animal. Sharp teeth and a longer tail are ideas I’ve been thinking about, along with forward facing eyes ofc.
Ship: None. He won’t have one.
Backstory:
Noel was the child of nobility, but sadly the family he came from was corrupt and greedy. From a young age, they could feel the anger and see nothing be done about it. So he decided to step in, sacrificing any burden-less childhood he might have had. He didn’t think there was any good option other than the one he chose anyways.
He did a wonderful job despite being a child. Noel had a great ability to plan as well as communicate through tough situations. His parents didn’t try to stop him or his plans either, viewing it as a relief from any work they did. The anger towards the system started to quiet down as the people felt heard and that their lives were changing.
But, his parent’s greed never stopped. And as they felt they could get away with more, they did. All coming to ahead on his 13th birthday with a show of greed higher than before, and the anger that had quieted instead of died exploded as the people were fed up. The people killed all those they saw in power, and despite all Noel had tried to do as a mere child, they claimed he never stopped anything and the fact the corruption had spiked on his birthday proved he was at fault as well. Noel viewed it as his own failure to be unable to stop the evil built into his life and in his dying moments he wished for a place he could start over and try again.
Magic: While I have been toying with the idea of giving him magic, I probably will leave him magicless.
Notes: He has slight inspiration from the white rabbit, so I intend to make him very close to Heartslabyul. — He does try to take charge at NRC, but people don’t want to listen to anyone else, much less a child. Though, Noel is stubborn and refuses to give up. It’s his habit of trying to be responsible for others that keeps him close to Ace and Deuce (who he thinks he can corral).

The three chosen to be let of the infamous Reclamation-Mission!!
I have so many plans for these three!!! I mean, one of them you’ll get to see glimpses off soon enough!
Azul for another slight redesign that I haven’t updated on the main reference page yet!! Mainly I changed the progression of the sleeves and added added the main symbol of the sector back in.
I can say as much that Agent Parfait is the one we’ll see most of for the chapters recruiting the mews! Let’s just say, General Eclair is testing the waters.
Then he will gain the company of two more seasoned agents on the mission as things start to get dire.
5v1 isn’t fair, but 5v3 may just even out the scale~!
Chapter three is being worked on, so far with almost 6k words. My summer has been pretty occupied and I was passing my exams for the semester. Plus I need to finish a few more drawings for the thing. I haven’t forgotten you all!!
For any questions, whether for the characters themselves or regarding the series, my ask box is always open! I love whenever I see those pop up!!! ^^
When Dekker gets sick, he’s very much the type to say he’s “dying”. He’s fine, but how could you deny a dying man cuddles?!? He might milk it a bit to have someone do a bit extra for him, but he’s at least won’t stop doing stuff by himself. (He’s just being dramatic and will stop if you’re genuinely stressed.)
But that’s how you know he’s fine. Chatty, cuddly, dramatic, and Dekker. What you need to look out for is when he’s quiet.
Toryn is a chill person. It’s hard to make things get to him in general. But it’s certainly not impossible, and once you achieve that, he’s salty as hell. This man can hold on to grudges. He has very few, but once they’re there he doesn’t forget.
There’s more minor things like Toryn keeping an eye on Jade when Jade goes up to Vil since Jade had the bright idea to constantly get inbetween them on a trip to Pomefiore. (In Jade’s dorm vignette for Toryn’s au, Toryn is there and Jade constantly tries to get inbetween since “he just wants to be friends too.”)
But there’s also more major things like his grudge on Ortho and Idia for book 6. Sure, they stay close friends after NRC and are gaming buddies, but it’s never forgotten. For as much as Toryn knows they won’t kidnap Vil and Azul again (who he just saved), they can still feel his glare.
And there’s also Jamil. Who has a grudge partly because Jamil threw him and his brothers into the desert, which is what Toryn will blame for the grudge, but also Toryn wasn’t fully over book 3 but wanted to forgive the octotrio. He was in a weird place with his feelings and Jamil had bad timing to where he could just lob the feelings onto Jamil.
Lilia’s son, Dusk, was his world, yet one day he disappeared without a trace.

I was writing this off and on for about two months. Motivation is a funny thing.
This is a songfic (Two Birds on a Wire) about character I made for @return-to-twisted-wonderland’s prompt, Dusk Vanrouge, Lilia’s oldest son. Who I’ve also drawn and posted on this blog.

Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other-
Watches him close on that wire
He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar
“I’ll believe it all. There's nothing I won't understand. I'll believe it all. I won't let go of your hand.”
Lilia felt nice as he just got to relax. He got to sit under the tree and watch his four-year-old son play. All the while songbirds sang, squirrels scattered around, and even bigger forest creatures like foxes and deer came around to see all that was happening.
His son, Dusk, was his absolute joy. Dusk looked extremely similar to him. Well as similar as a kid could look to an adult. He had the same long black hair Lilia has, just without the long red streaks. His eyes were also a bright lilac that were always so full of life.
“Daddy!” Lilia looked up to see Dusk repeatedly jumping.
Lilia got up and floated over to his son. “What is it, little bat?”
Dusk pointed at him with a pout. “That! How do you do that?” He tried jumping a few more times.
“Do what?” Lilia looked at himself and noticed his feet floating off the ground. “Are you trying to float?”
“Yeah.” Dusk nodded.
“Oh! All you need to do is use your magic to go fwoom and keep yourself up.” Lilia only earned a confused stare. He sighed and lifted his son up. “Ok, here we go! How does this feel?
Dusk giggled and wrapped his arms around his dad. “Cool! I can't touch the ground!”
“Alright. Try to remember how this feels. Then you have to try to make the same feeling with your magic. Got it?”
He nodded again.
Lilia lowered his son to be just a bit above the ground. “Alright. Try to lift yourself up.”
Dusk wiggled a bit, trying to move his body instead of using his magic. But just as Lilia was about to correct him, Dusk became lighter. He was floating. He didn’t lift himself back to the original height, but his feet were off the ground from his own magic.
“See! You did it! I knew you could.” Lilia was so happy! His son was doing something so impressive, and doing it on his own. Lilia started to release his grip to see how Dusk could fair on his own.
Sadly, the happy moment didn’t last too long. It might have been Lilia releasing his grip or Dusk just focusing more on the fact he did it rather than continuing the magic. But Dusk lost his concentration causing him to fall. And he wasn’t too high from the ground, he would have been higher if he just jumped, but it was sudden. Sudden enough to at least spook the young kid and make him tear up.
Lilia internally cursed at himself for being too quick to think his son could keep himself up unsupported. He quickly picked up Dusk and glanced over for any injuries, just in case. Luckily there weren't any. Dusk was just scared.
“Oh, that was a fall, wasn't it?” Lilia’s only response was more crying. “Don't worry, you're safe, but that probably was scary. Huh?”
Dusk clung and buried his face into Lilia’s shirt, mumbling something Lilia couldn't quite make out.
“Yeah, it probably was scary. I believe it. Don't worry, I understand.” Lilia carefully placed his hand over his son’s. “If it helps, I can hold your hand for as long as you need.”
Dusk slightly lifted his head off of Lilia’s shirt to quietly say something. “Daddy…”
“Hmm?”
“I wanna try again.”
Two birds on a wire.
One says “C’mon”
And the other says “I'm tired.
The sky is overcast and I'm sorry.
One more or one less.
Nobody’s worried.”
“I’ll believe it all. There's nothing I won't understand. I'll believe it all. I won't let go of your hand.”
He was nowhere. Dusk was nowhere. Lilia woke up a few months ago and went to wake up his son only to find him missing.
There were no signs of exit or entry. If someone broke in or Dusk broke out, there would have been signs, or Lilia, with all his general training, would have been able to notice something. There weren't even any signs there was any magic used that would have been able to teleport someone in or out. There was nothing.
Despite that, Lilia couldn't stop his search. He spent countless days and nights using all his energy to search, search until he passed out from sheer exhaustion. Lilia even brought some soldiers he was close to help, but as more and more time passed, they started to lose hope that his son could be found. Lost hope that his son was even still alive.
The only ones who kept searching with the same vigor were himself and his closest friend, Baul Zigvolt. Both of them would do anything to find Dusk, no matter how much time passed and no matter how much sleep they were missing out on.
“General Lilia!” Baul’s voice, as loud as ever, snapped Lilia out of his thoughts. “We found no leads. Again…”
“We simply need to search somewhere else. I'll start looking south. Keep others looking here while I scout ahead.” Lilia knew how he probably sounded. He probably sounded just as empty and drained as he felt. He's seen how hollow he looked just by seeing his reflection.
“General. We have plenty of skilled people who can scout. You have been going for days straight. Fresh eyes would have an easier time.”
“I’m fine. Not to mention you are running low on sleep yourself.”
“I am low on sleep, yes, but you haven't had any for the past few days. Lilia, I'm worried for you. Not only as a subordinate.”
“I have no time for emotional talk. Either you have something important to say or I'm leaving to scout further.”
“Your health is important! I've found you passed out enough times to be worried. You of all people should know troops who aren't in their best health need to rest otherwise they risk any upper hand or even level playing field they might have.”
Lilia does completely understand, but he so understands risking some things for an important goal. What general would he be if he didn't risk himself first? What father would be if he didn't give everything he had? “Again, I'm fine-”
“You are far from fine. I know you are going through a lot right now, but I'm not going to stand by here while a dear friend compromises his health.”
“Baul-”
“Whatever you tell me I’ll listen and believe it! I will do anything in my power to try to understand anything you're going through! I won't leave your side if you wish!” For as strong and loud as Baul was he truly did care for those around him, in his own way. It would seem like a bad trait for a soldier to have, but he made it work.
Lilia took in a sharp breath. Baul was only trying to support his friend. Lilia was better than snapping at someone who was just getting in his way. “As I said before, I am fine. Now I'm going.” Lilia immediately started to walk away. He had no time for this. He would find his son.
Two birds of a feather
Say that they're always gonna stay together
But one’s never going to let go of that wire
He says that he will, but he's just a liar
Lilia had gotten more or less used to his life now. Malleus, Silver, and Sebek have created quite a lot of fun for a man in his old years. Even now, he was in a third entrance ceremony as the Vice Housewarden of Diasomnia. Though he was more focused on wondering what dorm Sebek would be in, hoping he’d be in the same Diasomnia with the three of them who were already there.
The ceremony got even more interesting when a small cat jumped out of nowhere and created quite the hubbub. It called itself Grim. Lilia should remember that name. Seeing the chaos unfold was probably the most fun he'd been a part of for a long while.
He was definitely sure he made the right choice to come to Night Raven with Malleus. Malleus got experience socializing with non-fae and he got himself some relaxing time in his older years. What fun.
Grim was definitely causing a mess, though. While Riddle and Azul offered to help catch him, they seemed like they were doing more fighting than actually catching. While it was still amusing, it's best that someone stepped in.
Lilia was seconds from helping when someone, disguised in their ceremonial robes, beat him to it. He grabbed the cat by the scruff and spoke as if venom was dripping from his mouth. “If others here can't catch this mangey thing, I wonder why I should listen to them.”
Lilia already felt bad for whatever dorm the mystery person ended up with. He already seemed like a bit of a powder keg. A free spirit, to say it nicer.
Even hidden behind the robes, he seemed short. Isn’t it a typical thing that short pople have a bigger personality? He might have even been related to Rosehearts, someone known for exactly that. Actually, looking closer, he seemed to be closer to Lilia’s height.
The mystery kid handed Grim over to Headmaster Crowley, who quickly handed it over to a very unimpressed Professor Crewel. No words left the professor’s mouth but he gave a murderous stare strong enough for the students seated around him to get shivers. Luckily he did actually leave to take Grim outside and presumably off campus.
Meanwhile, the kid sat back in his seat. Lilia watched him as the kid seemed restless and gave off the same venom in an aura that was in his words.
While Lilia watched, he noticed long black hair and glimpses of lilac eyes that made memories of a time long gone flash through his head. No. Dusk had been gone for years.
But that sore spot definitely never left. He still hasn't ever mentioned Dusk to anyone who wasn't already aware of his son’s existence. He wanted to, but he just couldn't.
Lilia was going to look away and check on Sebek when the kid was told to stand in front of the Dark Mirror.
“State your name.” The face inside the mirror wasted no time in starting the process.
“Dusk Vanrouge.”
There is no way Lilia heard him right. No, his son had been missing for almost two centuries. Can his son just come back after so long?
The truth was soon proven when after the kid got sorted into Savannaclaw, he turned to head back to his seat. That's when Lilia got a full view of his face. A face that looked identical to his.
Lilia was sent into a daze for the rest of the ceremony. He was pretty sure even Silver, who he brought to make sure he had help if the new dorm members got too out of hand, noticed.
The end of the ceremony soon came, and Lilia told Silver to line up all the Diasomnia members, and that he'd be right back. Silver was a bit confused, but agreed. As soon as he made sure Silver was doing ok with lining everyone up, he went to find Dusk.
His son came back. His son came back! It's been so long, and now he could finally have the final piece of his family.
Lilia found Dusk standing slightly away from the other Savannaclaw students. He put his hand on Dusk’s shoulder, getting snappy words as Dusk turned around.
“What do you wa-” Once Dusk turned around, Lilia could see the recognition in his eyes. “Dad? Is that you?”
Lilia immediately pulled Dusk into a hug. His eyes completely welled up with tears. His son was alive and came back to him. Dusk was alive and came back to him.
Sadly, that happiness only lasted a few seconds. “Fa-Lilia, who is this?” Silver walked up to them, and the truth hit Lilia all at once.
He never told anyone about Dusk. He never told any of his other sons about Dusk.
“Oh, Silver!” Lilia snapped to face Silver. He knew this wouldn't sit well with anyone. Their dad had a secret and missing oldest son who he never mentioned once. “This is Dusk… my son.”
“You have another son?”
“Another?” Dusk looked at Silver then Lilia. “What is he talking about?”
“This is Sliver… my other son…”
Silver spoke back up. “You had a son before me? Where has he been? Why didn't you mention him?”
Lilia tried to get a word in, but Dusk cut him off. “You didn't mention me? Not once? Were you trying to forget me?!”
Again Lilia tried to get in another word but was cut off. By Silver this time. “Do Malleus and Sebek know about this?”
“There are others?”
Another chance to respond. Another chance stripped away as Leona Kingscholar’s voice came through calling all Savannaclaw students back to their dorm.
Dusk looked between Leona and his family, specifically Lilia, before letting his face settle into a glare. “I’m leaving.”
“Dusk, wait!”But Lilia’s voice did nothing to stop his son walking away. He looked back to Silver, whose face was confused and upset. “Silver, I didn’t mean to keep this a secret. I sw-“
Silver held up his hand. “I need to think for a bit.” Then he to walked away, his arms hugging his body.
Now Lilia was left alone as tears stung his eyes before falling.
Two birds on a wire
One tries to fly away
And the other-
Watches him close from that wire
He says he wants to as well, but he is a liar
Dusk’s presence and his relationship to Lilia had become well known on campus. It’s pretty hard to keep a loud conversation like what they had secret, and even if they did, the two of them look visibly related.
It was hard to watch Dusk around the school. It was even harder when they made eye contact and his son’s face turned into a scowl. And rubbing salt in the wound, Malleus, Silver, and Sebek all started avoiding him too.
Lilia couldn’t blame any of them. He kept his first son secret for so long, and even if he didn’t outright lie, it built his other three son’s world on a mistaken concept. Simply because an old man couldn’t control his grief, he made others suffer. He wouldn’t want to see himself either.
Yet, Lilia can’t bring himself to leave any of them alone. Malleus, Silver, and Sebek are all in the same dorm as him, so they can’t fully avoid each other, but Lilia found himself almost tailing Dusk. If Dusk was in the courtyard, he was too. Just watching his son from a distance.
Lilia knew he was making things worse. He should have stopped. He should have stopped a long while ago. But again, he was an old man experiencing the pain of losing his kid, his life, and this time it was happening four times at once.
He would stop eventually. He would stop when he was sure Dusk was settled in. He would stop when he didn’t feel the crushing need to see his sons safe and sound, even if it was at a distance because the same sons hated him.

Recently finished an attack so (a bit over) halfway through battle stats!
I’m falling a bit behind the number of attacks I want to be at since I’d hoped to make one a day, maybe minus two or three, but I’m minus six so far (I’m counting friendly fire and attacks together while the stats have them separate). I might try and make a few more today, but it’s alright if I don’t hit my goal so I won’t pressure myself.
So Tomodachi gave Seastars a third kid, a girl I named Stella. Her first word was Magnifique and I think Rook might have been involved in that… She’s also a bit smaller than Vil, so finally someone who didn’t get Toryn’s height.
I gave her Toryn’s hair color with Vil’s purple tips which is an idea I wish I did for Aster or Orion, but she also naturally got Toryn’s eye color and is the only kid to have that, so the eel eyes persist. She’s also a considerate daydreamer, so close to Toryn who is a considerate cheerleader.
I probably won’t go through and retag all my old art with it (I’ll try and do a few), but future art will have the tag. If there’s any specific art you want me to retag with it for any reason, feel free to say. (Idk, like if you want to look through the tag ever? Maybe someone wants to do that)
So far, they have two kids. Aster (who they have around 32-ish) and Orion (who they have a bit over three years later).
I think way too much about this family and they are my babies. Feel free to ask or comment about them. I haven’t drawn the kids yet, but here is their tomodachi life miis.
I’ll try my best not to make their descriptions too long, but sorry if I go overboard lol.
— —
Aster:
Aster looks a lot like a mini Toryn except for getting Vil’s eye color and the black parts of her hair coming up more like Vil’s than being at the tips like Toryn’s. She also got the sharp Leech teeth (which I headcanon is serrated). She also tends to keep her hair long and wears a headband occasionally to be like her dad.
Aster’s got a lot of energy. Not as in she’s constantly bouncing off the walls, but she can talk for hours and is constantly coming up with ideas. She’s also quite bubbly and outgoing, getting decently popular in school. If you want a friend who’s chill for almost any fun adventure, she’s the one you want.
Though it’s not fully obvious when she’s young, Aster definitely has Vil’s determination and some of his perfectionism. It becomes far more obvious as she grows. It’s at the strongest in her late teens and early twenties, kind of like Vil.
Aster isn’t necessarily a heavily family focused person, but she still doesn’t take kindly to others messing with her family.
Definitely cuddly. While I don’t think it’s to the full strength of Toryn, Aster definitely known for being cuddly. She likes to give quick hugs as hellos and goodbyes. She also likes to hold people’s hands when walking together. When she was an infant, she didn’t like being put down and only begrudgingly accepted it if there was still physical contact. (She got better about it around the time she learned to sit. Because that discovery was far more important and interesting.)
A more sensory focused person. Also someone who has to do something to fully understand it.

Orion:
Orion definitely looks closest to Vil, but got the Leech teeth and the purple parts of his hair only fade in at the tips. He often wears something on his head, partly to be like his dad but also partly for anxiety (often, but not 24/7). Currently he has Vil’s purple eyes, but I’m toying with the idea of giving him heterochromia, specifically central heterochromia, so he’ll have some gold in his eyes too.
Orion is creative and good with thinking outside the box, but in a more thoughtful and chill way. He’s usually a very low energy person, but any excess energy he has often turns anxious. He struggles a lot with anxiety for all of his childhood.
Orion struggled a lot with separation anxiety as a child. He truly only could consistently deal with separation from his parents around 7, but it still stayed in a minor amount until he was roughly 13. It did get in the way of some things, but Toryn and Vil did a lot of work on it with him. He even got some help with therapy.
Orion is actually quite close to a mini Toryn in temperament. He’s a bit more logical and thought-out than Toryn, but he definitely got Toryn’s heart and will do anything to be there for those he cares about. Even putting them above himself. He was also one to cry when hero’s in books or shows had something bad happen to him. And no he doesn’t still do that, you’re lying!
Very family focused. You cannot pry family away from being the most important thing to Orion. If you want anything to do with him, you better get along well with his family. He holds all his family members in high regards. And though friends aren’t exactly family, he is extremely protective over them as well. He might struggle with getting attention on himself, but he won’t hesitate if you go after anyone he cares for.
Extremely cuddly. While Orion is more selective about any physical affection, he almost always wants a hug or a cuddle. Especially from his direct family members. And if you cuddle with him, you’re cuddling for a good few minutes at minimum.
Orion wants to be like his family a lot. And though he is an excellent writer and he does value his family’s creativity, he puts that passion down viewing it as hiding behind words on a page compared to the boldness of an actor or athlete. But eventually he comes to terms with the idea of not needing to match their greatness and becomes very proud of his work.

Extra:
Both siblings have quite a good relationship. They do bicker occasionally and don’t really understand each other, but their relationship is very peaceful.
They both learned from their parents early on how to care for their bodies, so they’re great with taking care of themselves. From exercise to things such as skin care. They aren’t as intense about it as their parents though. And ofc, their parents did do their best to teach them a healthy balance of focusing on health and having fun.
They also both know how to surf a slight bit. Neither are anywhere near the level of professional, but it’s a fun hobby for them. And they aren’t both very versed in water safety. Toryn made absolute sure, even if they’re both mers.
Neither kid is as tall as Toryn (6’6) but they’re both taller than Vil (6’0). Aster is the taller one out of the two. And I don’t have any specific heights in mind, but 6’4 Aster and 6’2 Orion feels accurate. (So just every two inches lol)
They’re both moray eels in their mer forms. I haven’t fully decided on Orion’s appearance though, such as keeping the blue and green colors despite the hair or making him more purple. Aster, on the other hand, will look like you’d expect.
Toryn took the last name Schoenheit, so both kids have it as well, but they also will both call themselves a Leech as a way to say they’re also part of that side of the family as well. (Both sides of the family are very close and interact very well, especially once the kids came.)

Thank you for reading! Have some cake 🍰
If you have any thoughts, comments, questions, or anything, feel free to say or ask. I’d be happy to respond to anything.
Btw, Floyd calls the kids “sea squirts”. I find it cute.
He will use their names too, especially in serious situations or to show he actually sees them (like they achieved something and he’s showing he’s genuinely proud), but sea squirt is the more common one. And the kids do have a slight preference for it. (Kind of the same situation with Floyd calling Toryn Big Bro)
I used to have him call Aster little wave, so this is a bit of a retcon. But you’re free to use little wave and say sea squirt is like Orion’s nickname if you prefer.
Why does Vil buy a weighted blanket in the future?
Certainly it’s not because he has a massive boyfriend/husband who has a habit of lying on him. Certainly it’s not because he’s gotten used to that pressure and it’s become calming, especially once said boyfriend/husband uses it as a way to help if he’s stressed (Toryn’s build for dpt). Certainly it’s not because a bed feels empty if one of them is away.

For as many characters I have related to canon, I actually do have some non related pure Yuu type characters so I wanted to do a quick intro for them. Finally people who are actually in ramshackle lol, tho none of them are human since writing nonhumans is fun.
Also, these characters are in separate aus from each other. While I might give them aus where they interact with each other or my other ocs (I do this with Sera a lot), their canon stories are separate. They’re also different levels of complete, and you can find the level they’re at here.
TW: Death and abuse. Their last moments are what send them to NRC, so I go a bit into those. (Sera’s has a bit more gore/violence in that section than the others)

Seraphine
Species: Angel (her versions of angels are specifically based off doves/pigeons)
Age: 16
Height: ~6’0/6’1
Appearance: Long wavy blond hair and pale skin with pure white eyes, small white wings where her ears should be, large white wings on her head, white tail feathers , and a bright halo she can move to stay above her despite her position. Though, she is fully capable of hiding that and looking like a normal human with blonde hair, and yellow eyes to blend in. Her angelic form can poke out if she gets stressed, and with extreme stress, she’s unable to hide it at all. (The human form is more a second harder to keep form that takes magic to go between more than a from that needs magic to be upheld)
Ship: Luna (by @waitlexist) with the ship name Azata they are from different worlds but meant to take place at the same NRC. She also has a noncanon/au ship with Kit (another oc of mine) with the ship name Angelic FairyFox
Backstory Summary:
Angels, along with other powerful species (such as demon, fae, dragons, ect) were the rulers of the world Sera was from. Angels specifically were known for a strict hierarchy, and orphans sadly were at the lowest rung. Being at the lowest rung, it was a known secret that orphanages would pick and train children as obedient soldiers or guards. Seraphine was one of those children.
Sera grew up shoving down any will of her own, knowing her job was to sacrifice anything at the whims of those above her. She was made a gaurd for a high ranking noble, even sent to battle a few times in the noble’s stead. She was often treated with little thoughts to any of her wants or desires, making Sera shove them down harder. Anytime something went wrong, she was often the target of verbal or physical abuse, even by other servants who were there longer thus had higher rank.
Eventually it was revealed that the master Sera served was plotting treason. They blamed it on Sera who falsely admitted to it without a question as to what would happen to herself. Charged with treason, they ripped off her back wings (which were seen as an angel’s pride) and left her to die of infection or blood loss in a dungeon. She was cold and alone, and in her dying moments let herself wish for things to be better and wish for friends and a peaceful life. The next thing she knew she woke up in a coffin at the NRC entrance ceremony.
Magic: The word Sera is from has its own form of magic that she keeps in twst. Magic was a natural thing all of the magical creatures (angels, demons, fae, ect) had in her world. It is an inate power that flows through them to keep them alive. They are able to change the flow to create spells by allowing them to use the energy as a force they can change properties of (like temp, density, color, ect). But doing so is bad on their systems, since it is basically using their own life force. The energy they use is recoverable, but it takes time. Even just continually using magic for a spar that’s an hour or so long can have a noticeable impact on how well Sera feeling.
Notes: She is a lesbian and will gay panic since most women are attractive. — She does coo as well as build pigeon style nests (that she is very proud of). She also does molt and it is very uncomfortable, so especially once she learns to stand up for herself, do not mess with her. — Her color scheme is gold and white since those are colors often associated with angels. — She ends up finding an interest in making jewelry, especially with the details, emotions, and thought you can put into it. That becomes her job in the future. — Bday is June 17th — She’s very strong and pretty muscular.

Cyrus Sol
Species: Bald Eagle Harpy
Age: 34
Height: 6’3
Appearance: Brown skin with golden eyes, loose/medium curled white hair, white feathers for ears. His hands have talons at the ends of his fingers. His legs are similar to bird legs, with the scaled skin starts on the bottom half and his feet being bird talons. He has large wings at his back and large tail feathers, both a dark brown. There are patches of his body (mostly his back, sides of his face, and his shoulders) that also are feathered with dark brown feathers.
Ship: Divus Crewel (No ship name yet)
Backstory:
Cyrus was a harpy well liked by others. He was smart, physically capable, well educated, and everything that made the prideful bald eagles see him hopefully. And as someone who loved working with kids, it didn’t take long for one of the highest noble families to choose him to be the head caretaker for their child.
But it didn’t take long for Cyrus to see the child was often neglected and ignored by parents who despised the idea of being involved with a child who had no accomplishments yet. It also didn’t take long for Cyrus to realize how everyone else of the same noble stature treated others the same. He was disgusted and immediately decided he’d be as much of a parent as he could be for the kid, being as safe a space he could. Cyrus also grew suspicious of those in control, especially those in control of children. While he was sweet and bubbly around kid, he was overly formal to other adults. He tried his best to barrier kids from the cruelty he saw, even if that meant being extremely hesitant to let them grow and explore the world on their own.
Eventually there was an accident involving the child he was the carer of, and being in the position he was, he took the blame. In anger, he was killed as “vengeance”. In his last moments he wished he could have done more, saved more of the innocent children he wanted nothing but the best for. Shockingly, he woke up being welcomed out of a coffin and wearing robes by a man calling himself Headmaster Crowley.
Magic: None. Just as Yuu, he’s magicless.
Notes: He takes on a very parental role at NRC, especially after seeing the first overblot and learning the pain it can from. Ace and Deuce he tries to help out (mirroring them being the first friends of Yuu). — He was suspicious of all the teachers at first, including Crewel. He does eventually see they have the best in mind for their students, but that takes time especially as he thinks they can be overly strict. He find a lot of issues with Crowley tho. — He’s probably the character I adore family fluff the most with along side Toryn. He’s a dad through and through. — I imagine him to be very square in appearance/body type.

Noel (last name tbd)
I’m going to be honest, he is new and very undeveloped. A lot here might be blank of vague.
Species: Some kind of Bunnyfolk
Age: 13
Height: Uncertain, but likely around 5’1 (close to Riddle)
Appearance: I haven’t settled on one yet, but I intend to make him more visibly bunny than a twst beastman might be. Likely around the human/non human mix of Cyrus, though I’ve been toying with making him more anthro bunny. With a major caveat being his species is more dangerous than a prey animal. Sharp teeth and a longer tail are ideas I’ve been thinking about, along with forward facing eyes ofc.
Ship: None. He won’t have one.
Backstory:
Noel was the child of nobility, but sadly the family he came from was corrupt and greedy. From a young age, they could feel the anger and see nothing be done about it. So he decided to step in, sacrificing any burden-less childhood he might have had. He didn’t think there was any good option other than the one he chose anyways.
He did a wonderful job despite being a child. Noel had a great ability to plan as well as communicate through tough situations. His parents didn’t try to stop him or his plans either, viewing it as a relief from any work they did. The anger towards the system started to quiet down as the people felt heard and that their lives were changing.
But, his parent’s greed never stopped. And as they felt they could get away with more, they did. All coming to ahead on his 13th birthday with a show of greed higher than before, and the anger that had quieted instead of died exploded as the people were fed up. The people killed all those they saw in power, and despite all Noel had tried to do as a mere child, they claimed he never stopped anything and the fact the corruption had spiked on his birthday proved he was at fault as well. Noel viewed it as his own failure to be unable to stop the evil built into his life and in his dying moments he wished for a place he could start over and try again.
Magic: While I have been toying with the idea of giving him magic, I probably will leave him magicless.
Notes: He has slight inspiration from the white rabbit, so I intend to make him very close to Heartslabyul. — He does try to take charge at NRC, but people don’t want to listen to anyone else, much less a child. Though, Noel is stubborn and refuses to give up. It’s his habit of trying to be responsible for others that keeps him close to Ace and Deuce (who he thinks he can corral).
Pictures: (note, this was me messing with picrew and my first idea. Idk how or if it will change, but there’s a chance. I do really like the hairstyle tho.)

As I write this I realize they all have to do with nobility. Welp.
