Little silkworms spinning. I have been looking after some for a friend who is raising peace-silk for a project, will meet them again as moths in a week or so!

Since I saw your requests open, could I request a new Yuu? Would it be possible to write about a more child-like Yuu who’s based off a domesticated silk moth? I’ve been super into them recently, and I think it would be funny to see how twst characters would react to a tiny Yuu with small, flightless wings and the potential for a mass of silk production?
Sorry if this seems weird, it’s my first ever ask on this app. But hope you had fun reading this, and hope you have a nice time!
lets try (sorry if its a little short)
Child! Silk Moth! Yuu
To be honest, everyone probably thought Yuu was a chimera at first, and they was so focused on trying to get to the chandelier full of shiny things that they didn't notice what was going on around them (unsuccessfully, as Yuu is at that early stage where they can't fly yet). Thankfully, they realized in time that they wasn't; they were a kid! A rather unusual one.
Yuu settles into Ramshackle very quickly, using their little wings to remove cobwebs and, instead, start nesting their silk production—and their very enthusiastic about it! The ghosts aren't quite sure how to help them, but the little silkworm moth is very focused on making Ramshackle their perfect habitat (moderate temperatures, bringing back mulberry-like leaves to eat, and they starts weaving the silk they already produced).
Ace and Deuce are definitely a little scared when they first enter Ramshackle and the first thing they see is this web of white, fabric-like stuff everywhere, but they're instantly calmer when they realize it's silk. Well, Deuce is calm, and Ace suggests to Yuu that they should sell it—they'd get more money than Crowley gives them!
Overall, the Heartslabyuls find Yuu adorable. Riddle researches everything related to moth species similar to Yuu and their habitats, Trey learned to bake some desserts including mulberry leaves so Yuu could eat something tasty and nutritious for them, Cater takes SO MANY pictures of Yuu because "they' too cute and fluffy for their own good," and the list goes on.
The The Savanaclaw gang is careful with Yuu, not really because they want to, but because Yuu almost broke their legs when Leona insisted they learn to fly, and now they're afraid that being too rough with the creature will hurt him even more. Ruggie also tries to convince Yuu to monetize any silk they created, but is satisfied if Yuu gives him some silk to use/sell. Jack is the most careful; he treats Yuu like a precious stuffed animal and carries them everywhere over his shoulders. Leona keeps his distance, but at least he´s grateful they are not a noisy, tantrum-throwing child.
The Octavinelle gang sees an incredibly adorable monetization opportunity. Azul insists that Yuu should take advantage of the situation and sell the silk they produces to the point of exhaustion—does they have any idea how much people would pay for it? yes, but ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS! Floyd thinks Yuu is the cutest little thing ever; instead of calling him "shrimpy," he calls them "sea rabbit," and Jade, well, he learned the hard way not to Startling Yuu would mean getting a squirt of raw silk in his face.
Kalim thinks Yuu is the cutest little thing on the planet—just look at those wings! And their little antennae! He doesn't really need silk, but he does find the process of how Yuu makes it fascinating. Jamil saves Yuu from Kalim's parties when he gets too noisy for their liking, usually just leaving thems in a dark room with a nightlight until they falls asleep and then taking them to Ramshackle. At least they´re easier to look after than Kalim…
All the members of Pomefiore are completely smitten with SM!Yuu and his cuteness. Rook likes to twirl them around in the air like a plushie (gently, of course) and even tries to teach them, appropriately, how to fly. Epel wants to use Yuu's ability to spit raw silk for pranks (and is punished by Vil for it). Vil makes sure that whenever Yuu is in Pomefiore, they wears an outfit with a theme from Lights or moths to make them look even cuter (the only moth Vil will allow in Pomefiore).
Idia has SO MANY questions about Yuu and their silk production. How does they make it? Or how does they process it on their own? Can they generate any chemicals like normal silkworm moths? Does they really really like lights? Among other things, and yes, he's weak because Yuu is so fluffy—almost like a cat! Ortho gives them general checkups once a week to make sure that producing silk isn't negatively affecting their health.
The people of Diasomnia have taken Yuu in as their new little sibiling, and there's no changing that. Lilia is so nostalgic taking care of such a small and cute little guy. Malleus is quite intrigued by the whole silk-producing thing, but he's more interested in playing with his new little friend. The next time Silver wakes up, he'll probably be wrapped in a pure silk blanket, with no idea how he got there. Sebek is…confused, but stranger things have happened. seen at this school.
At least this one is cute.

(ESPAÑOL)
Siendo honestos, probablemente todos pensaron que Yuu era una quimera al principio, y Yuu estaba muy concentrado tratando de ir hacia el candelabro lleno de cositas brillantes como para darse cuenta de lo que pasaba a su alrededor (sin éxito, Yuu está en esa etapa temprana donde aún no puede volar). Hay que agradecer que se dieron cuenta a tiempo de que no; ¡era un niño! Uno…particular.
Yuu se instala en Ramshackle muy rápido, aprovechando sus alitas para quitar telarañas y, en su lugar, empezar a anidar su producción de seda ¡y es muy entusiasta al respecto! Los fantasmas no saben muy bien como ayudarle, pero la pequeña polilla de seda esta muy centrada en hacer de Ramshackle su hábitat perfecto (temperaturas medias, trayendo hojas similares a las hojas de morera para comer, y empieza a tejer la seda ya producida.
Ace y Deuce definitivamente están algo asustados cuando entran a Ramshackle por primera vez y lo primero que se encuentran es esta red de tela-cosa blanca por todas partes, pero están automáticamente mas calmados cuando se dan cuenta que es seda. Bueno, Deuce esta calmado y Ace le sugiere a Yuu que debería venderla ¡conseguiría mas dinero del que Crowley le da!
En general, los de Heartslabyul encuentran a Yuu adorable. Riddle investiga todo lo relacionado a especies de polillas similares a Yuu y sus hábitats, Trey aprendió a cocinar algunos postres incluyendo las hojas de morera para que Yuu pudiera comer algo rico y nutritivo para ellos, Cater le saca TANTAS fotos a Yuu porque “es demasiado lindo y esponjoso para su propio bien” y la lista sigue.
Los de Savanaclaw son cuidadosos con este Yuu, no realmente porque quieran, sino porque Yuu casi se rompe las piernas cuando Leona insistió en que aprendiera a volar, y ahora tienen miedo de que ser demasiado brutos con la criatura le haga aún más daño. Ruggie también trata de convencer a Yuu de monetizar la seda que haya creado, pero se calla con que Yuu le dé algo de seda a él para usar/vender. Jack es el más cuidadoso, trata a Yuu como un peluche muy preciado y lo lleva a todas partes por encima de sus hombros. Leona mantiene su distancia, pero al menos agradece que no es un niño ruidoso y berrinchudo.
Los de Octavinelle ven una oportunidad monetaria demasiado adorable. Azul insiste MUCHO en que Yuu debería aprovechar y vender la seda que produce al punto del hartazgo ¿tiene idea de cuanta pagaría la gente por eso? Floyd cree que Yuu es la cosita mas adorable que hay, en vez de decirle “camaron” le dice “conejo de mar” y Jade, bueno, aprendió a la mala a no sobresaltar a Yuu si no quería un montón de seda sin procesar en su cara.
Kalim cree que Yuu es la cosita más adorable del planeta ¡mira sus alitas! ¡y sus antenas! El realmente no le hace falta seda, pero si cree que el proceso de como Yuu la hace es muy interesante. Jamil salva a Yuu de las fiestas de Kalim cuando se pone demasiado ruidoso para su gusto, normalmente solo le deja en un cuarto oscuro con una luz de noche hasta que se duerma y lo lleva a Ramshackle. Al menos es más fácil de cuidar que Kalim...
Todos los miembros de Pomefiore caen rendidos a los pies de SM!Yuu y su ternura, Rook le gusta darle vueltas en el aire como si fuera un peluche (con delicadeza) e incluso trata de enseñarle, apropiadamente, como volar. Epel quiere usar la habilidad de Yuu de escupir seda no procesada para bromas (es castigado por Vil por eso). Vil hace que cada vez que Yuu está en Pomefiore, use algún atuendo con temática de luces o polillas para que se vea aún más lindo (la única polilla que Vil permitirá en Pomefiore).
Idia tiene MUCHAS preguntas con respecto a Yuu y su producción de seda ¿Cómo es que la hace? ¿o como la procesa solo? ¿puede generar algún químico como las polillas de seda normales? ¿le gusta mucho las luces? Entre otras cosas, y si, es débil con lo peludito que es Yuu ¡es casi como un gato! Ortho le hace exámenes generales una vez por semana, para asegurarse de que producir seda no le este afectando negativamente su salud.
Los de Diasomnia han tomado a Yuu como su nuevo hermanito y no hay forma de cambiarlo. Lilia tiene tanta nostalgia al cuidar de un chiquito tan pequeño y lindo, Malleus está bastante intrigado por todo el tema de producir seda, pero le interesa más jugar con su nuevo amiguito. La próxima vez que Silver se despierte, probablemente este envuelto en una manta de seda pura, sin tener idea de cómo llego ahí. Sebek está…confundido, pero cosas más raras se han visto en esta escuela.
