Bouquet of Evil 5: Jig and Jive! A MC/Yuu Gift Exchange, number 5!
(click for better resolution, Tumblr squished the heck out of this one. We'll start with Mari in the top left and go clockwise.)
The kitchen ghosts were kind enough to allow this year's Ramshackle gift exchange had to be moved to the cafeteria to accommodate Mari's obvious inability to comfortably fit into Ramshackle's living room. However, they don't seem to be bothered by their size in the slightest since it means that the batch of cookies Emery made for them are each the size of a human's torso. Delicious!
Emery is having a wonderful time. How often can someone claim they got to feed giant cookies to an enormous golden dragon?! Their gift from Yuuna, a scarf covered in neon paw prints, is wonderfully soft and comfortable. It may not match literally anything in his closet, but he'll be proudly wearing it around campus anyway.
Having had her fill of hot chocolate (and filling her lovely new fish purse from Yuu(f) with snacks) Deeva is more than happy to settle down in a quiet corner and help sort through Grace's many, many photographs. An unsurprising amount of them appear to be photos of Grim sleeping in strange places/positions, which is always amusing to see.
Grace deeply appreciates the photo album she'd received from Deeva. Grace has been taking and collecting a massive amount of photos with her ghost camera. Now she finally has a place to organize and display the best shots she'd managed to take. And its even beautifully decorated with some lovely flowers!
Yuu(f) is busily sorting through the boxes of photographs. Many of them show some genuine photographic skill and experiencing all the chaos and shenanigans of Grace's life, albeit secondhand, is soothing in its own way. Although Grace's crush on her version of Malleus is, hmmm...a little worrying from Yuu(f)'s perspective. The beautiful handpainted antique clock from Grace is tucked into her lap to make sure it stays safe.
Yuuna is having an absolute blast! Lots of new people to hang with, tasty snacks, and a literal mound of flowers to provide a hilarious background for some selfies. Even better is the lil plushie Grimmie that Yuu(m) has given her. Its nearly as soft as her Grimmie himself and perfectly matches her Grim phone case.
Grim constantly claims that he's not a cat, yet it seems he's completely enthralled with batting petals around. (These particular marigolds are nontoxic for animals, not to worry.)
Yuu(m) needs some tissues. Getting a dragon mouth-sized mound of marigolds dropped on top of you will cause more than a little flailing and sneezing. What is he even supposed to do with this? Yes, he definitely appreciates Mari's gift (especially compared to his fear of a bloody animal corpse being dragged in) but seriously what is he even supposed to do with a pile of marigolds?? By the sounds of the demented giggling, Grim seems to be enjoying it at least.
Links/Profiles for all the OC/Yuus, same rotation as above
Mari(gold): Listen, I saw someone's dragon fursona wandering around on NRC campus with a tiny vest perched on one of their horns and IMMEDIATELY started laughing, so here we are. They're incredibly sassy and mischievous (and should definitely have been allowed to eat Neige after the bs that was the VDC wdym). I have some logistical questions about how their daily life on NRC campus works, but personality-wise they're a perfect fit for NRC. belongs to @marigoldendragon
Emery Yuu: Such a sweet boy, this poor little cinnamon roll, they try so hard and for what. Crowley took one look at this baby and decided to just...throw all his problems at them, quite literally in this case, starting by shotputting this furry arsonist cat right at them and slamming shut/locking the Ramshackle front door before sprinting away. Full name is Embden Emery McEmerson Yuu, or as I called them this entire project, Em-Cubed. belongs to @andminnequin
Deeva Årud: Elegant short queen who manages to be honest and hardworking despite being sorted into Octavinelle?? Seriously, she's so damn pretty and her tiny wings are adorable. Also plays a couple of instruments and is a wonderful singer? Cater, how on earth did you pull this woman. Yes, I did base her blue dress and sweater combo on her comfy pajama set. Soft oversized beige sweater over silky light blue pj's is just such a nice contrast. belongs to @deeva-arud
Grace Alexander: Poor thing starts out so anxious and trying so desperately to blend into the background and slowly gains confidence and becomes a lot more outgoing. Good for her! Seems like she takes a lot of really nice pictures too. I honestly would want to be friends with her. Also how the heck did she manage to steal Leona's rings off his fingers, I have questions. belongs to @ephemii
Yuu(f): Ooky spooky cryptid child, but in a complimentary way. Attracted Malleus' attention, but its treated with all the complications and downsides that attracting the attention of fae from legends and folklore traditionally has. Good luck, the vibes are not good. o7 Their art is so beautiful and spooky and intricate, please go check it out. belongs to @cheshanoneko-draws
Yuuna Oujou: This girlie pop is the manga Yuu for the Scarabia chapter. We've only seen the black and white version of her as of yet, so I had to guess for her colors, which was fun since I've never done anything with gyaru fashion before. And honestly could have gone a little harder but eh. As far as I can tell, she's a cheerful and friendly sweetheart who gets along very well with Kalim, but unlike him, she is in no way naive or foolish and is actually very hard-working towards her fashion industry dreams.
Yuu(m): Itty bitty wittle bean boy, unofficial babysitter for Adeuce, quite literally once when they de-aged themselves. So SO much angst about wanting to return home but being torn about leaving all their friends/new family behind. Looks like he'd squeak if you poked him in the stomach. belongs to @waterthatsmoe
my #anypronouns user before i became one which could mean nothing. Deeva's name is fucking made up cause I couldn't stop calling him "this divaaa" and then I didn't think of anything better.
They're part of a world n city I made with friends called Orkland where we all made just regular ass guys and I made this angry punk tattoo artist who really loves bugs ajdghbrf
Deeva's a kind but angry person. Mainly his issues lie with anger and letting it take over. Also a bit of a drinking problem but well. Other than that they care deeply about things to a fault and would do anything for those she cares about.
They have a pretty wide circle of friends (including ones with benefits) and im like 75% sure i was playing with the idea of making them aro but i dont remember... His main friends are my friend's oc Vinny the barista and once again my boyfriend's oc Jules, with Jules being Deeva's best friend and basically soulmate. Honestly a very weird and complex relationship that'll never get a lable.
Deeva is also an oc i've writen quite a lot for and i just love them a whooole lot
also Deeva n Jules are the subject of my laptop lockscreen cause I adore it sm
He’s back!
Have LOTS of Jinn, guys ‘cuz it’s been MONTHS since I last drew him. And also have Deeva surrounded by her crew who specializes in building protheses and implants as well as other devices for your body.
