Canon Yuu
~~~
I saw a post about Yuu and canon facts about them so I went through all the character voice lines and picked out all the other facts I could find. Some will be a repeat of what’s mentioned in the original post, which you’ll find here. I may update it as the game and manga progress.
I hyper fixated HARD on this.
Yuusona Bingo
You have no idea how happy you’re all making me <3333

Yuu likes initiating physical contact. They’ve poked at Riddle and Leona’s tsum a lot. They’ve also poked at Leona, Ortho, Kalim (tickling him in the process), Jack’s sides, Deuce (twice), Floyd, and Epel. Yuu tugged on Riddle’s sleeve during a lab class, Leona while camping, Kalim’s ceremonial robes headdress, Trey’s Halloween veil, Sebek’s sleeve (much to his dismay), and Vil. They’ve pulled at Jack’s ceremonial robes and Ace’s arm. Vil teases Yuu in a voice line saying that he can’t fault their overwhelming desire to touch him given his alluring beauty. They touch Malleus and he teases that if they continue to do so, Sebek would throw a fit. Malleus welcomes Yuu to touch his horns. Yuu also touches him without shrinking in fear. They wanted to touch/hold Jamil’s gala couture corsage, he also asks if touching is customary where Yuu is from. Yuu has almost touched Ortho’s heat exhaust and even managed to tickle him. Yuu kept clinging to Lilia during lab class in hopes he’d tutor them. Floyd called Yuu a barnacle which may suggest they kept clinging to him. They kept touching Jack’s Halloween costume which made him worry the shells would fall off. They pet Cater’s tsum WHILE looking at him, which gave Cater mixed signals. Deuce complained once how they were getting handsy with him. They’ve tickled Floyd—who promised to get them back. They played with Floyd’s tsum. They straightened Epel’s ribbon (Ghost Bride) without warning him and Silver’s horned hat during Halloween. They scratched under Grim’s chin without asking.
Yuu attends every character’ birthday celebration and always seems to have a good time.
Yuu has a knack for dancing.
Yuu has the habit of staring at other people, just about every character calls them out on it.
Yuu had difficulty with basic lab textbook questions, which may be expected since they’re not from Twisted Wonderland.
Yuu wears makeup, at least to ceremonies.
Yuu thinks the amount of traditional events NRC has is unusual.
Yuu asks for help with studying and homework from their friends—at least the better educated ones.
Yuu appears to be someone who gets anxious at ceremonies. Trey had to tell them to stand still and stay quiet, implying they get fidgety and restless. Ruggie teased Yuu about how they squirmed in preparation for a ceremony. He was also rushed by Yuu who feared they wouldn’t make it to the ceremony in time. Jamil had to guide Yuu in taking deep breaths when they were anxious, he also points out they were fidgety.
Many characters have commented on Yuu’s diligence.
Based on dialogue, Yuu is quick to pass snarky/sarcastic responses.
Yuu seemed to adapt to Twisted Wonderland fairly quickly. When they saw Jack for the first time, they can make a comment about how he has dog ears and a tail in a seemingly (distant?) tone. They never pointed out or questioned Malleus’ horns. Reminder they freaked out when they first saw Grim, before any other character, so they’ve grown accustomed to the strangeness of NRC.
Yuu was once able to play with Leona’s tail. Yuu grabbed Ruggie’s tail during his birthday. They grabbed Jack’s tail, too. They tried to grab Malleus’ tail during Halloween but he wouldn't let them in fear it would send Yuu flying.
There’s a good chance Yuu tends to fall asleep in class. Jack promises to wake them up if they do, commenting that he can’t focus when someone is dozing off next to him. Trey reminds them that he won’t wake them up if they fall asleep. Ace caught Yuu dozing off once.
Yuu isn’t very good at keeping their attire in place. It’s pointed out by a handful of characters, and even in the main story. The hood of their robe was once inside out during a ceremony. The collar of their PE uniform was all wonky. Vil has even said the uniform is a bit too big and makes them look sloppy— and that their labwear was wrinkled. Trey says it looks like the school uniform is wearing them.
Yuu doesn’t really know how to behave/carry themselves in formal situations.
Yuu had an awful bed-head while camping.
Yuu seemed excited about the Beanfest event. Jack says that they’re “pretty gung-ho” about it. Apparently there’s a tale similar to Beanfest where Yuu hails from. Yuu wanted to team with Azul during the event. Jamil said they were very into it. Vil complimented Yuu’s skills during Beanfest but was quick to shut down their excitement. He also comments that Yuu is surprisingly good at the event. Yuu was confronted by Rook and feigned surrender. Based on other voice lines, it seems Rook hunted Yuu at some point.
It can be interpreted that the freshmen get together at Ramshackle.
Yuu is serious about helping Grim become a great sorcerer.
Yuu is easy to scare, many characters got the drop on them during Halloween. You didn’t seem to get them back with much success.
A few characters comment how/if Yuu has grown used to living in Twisted Wonderland.
Not necessarily a Yuu fact, but Ramshackle gets lots of snow during the winter.
Yuu can come off as a boisterous person at times.
Yuu is not fazed by Riddle’s temper/behavior.
Ace regularly invites Yuu to his basketball games.
Cater gave Yuu a ticket to the Pop Music Club’s show.
Yuu is apparently homesick, something they confide in Cater with at least twice.
During their visit to the Scalding Sands, Yuu got worn out by the crowds. Cater took them aside to sit and rest.
Cater doesn’t know what’s going through Yuu’s head.
Based on a few voice lines, Yuu is very familiar with Cater. To a point where he reminds them that he is an upperclassman that deserves respect.
Ace, Deuce, and Cater are both disappointed to an extent that Yuu isn’t in Heartslabyul.
In some of his ceremonial robe lines, Leona suggests he and Yuu ditch.
Yuu gave Leona candy during Halloween hoping it might make him happier.
Yuu is relaxed around Leona.
Yuu tried to sneak up on Leona to surprise him on his birthday, but he noticed them before they could jump out.
Yuu liked Leona’s gala couture.
Because Grim ate their food during the camp event, they went to Ruggie for spare food.
Ruggie comments on how the other campers can’t pitch a tent or start a fire, this may or may not have included Yuu.
Azul has said Yuu has a tender disposition.
According to Azul, Yuu seems to have a good time during flight class.
Azul doesn’t believe them to have a good singing voice.
Jade has teased Yuu, calling them a mischief-maker.
Yuu wished to climb Mount Molm during the Harveston event, but Jade told them to start with a smaller climb—saying snowy mountains were dangerous.
Yuu isn’t good at plating food. Floyd finds this very funny.
Yuu told Kalim during culinary crucible that they liked his food. But since Kalim’s meals tend to come out a little… crisp and messy, they may just be saying it so as to not hurt his feelings.
Jamil thinks(?) Yuu has an acute sense of smell as they were able to find him preparing a light snack for Kalim.
Yuu thought Jamil was being insincere when he thanked them for celebrating his birthday.
Yuu got a bunch of sauce on their face in the Scalding Sands, something Jamil subtly teased them for.
Yuu sees Jamil as a voice of reason in almost every situation.
Yuu complimented Jamil on his fairy couture which made him feel a little better.
A voice line from Jamil mentions Yuu wears a uniform to school and that it’s “nice in its own right”. This could mean that Yuu’s school uniform is old/a hand-me-down and isn’t necessarily like everyone else’s.
Yuu thinks Rook is a bit odd.
Yuu confided in Rook saying they get embarrassed when they’re sweaty.
Yuu wanted to ride on a horse with Epel during the Ghost Bride event.
Yuu got giddy when it began to snow, a detail Idia pointed out during the Harveston event.
According to Idia, Yuu is a friend to introverts and someone he can count on.
Yuu wanted to wear Idia’s suitor suit attire.
Malleus says Yuu always seems to attract a crowd, but that’s a given since they’re the main character.
When Malleus says a plate in the Scalding Sands possesses a recently made design, Yuu tells him that it’s an antique. Either Yuu has studied Scalding Sands history before visiting or the antiques of Twisted Wonderland are similar to those in Yuu’s world.
Malleus once said, maybe sometime in Book Three, that Yuu was not as innocent as their doe-eyes would suggest.
Yuu once wanted to see Malleus dressed in his ceremonial robes, so he wore it just for them.
A line suggests that Yuu lingered around and focused on Malleus during his birthday party.
As thanks for participating in his birthday party, Malleus invited Yuu to visit about ten ruins.
Yuu wanted to hear an earnest proposal from Lilia during the Ghost Bride event.
There’s a very real possibility Lilia gave Yuu a piggyback ride during Halloween.
When Sebek chastised Grim’s gluttonous behavior, Yuu seemingly gave him a dirty look.
Yuu had difficulty handling Harveston sleds, leading Sebek to brag about how he could do so with ease.
Silver has said Yuu worries too much about those around them.
Silver thinks Yuu has some talent with a sword.
Judging by a voice line from Professor Crewel, Yuu isn't that good academically and may be close to failing his class. He also says they and Grim are his biggest troublemakers.

this is basically what happened, right?

I like haunted houses in theory BUT I have no idea how to react when the actors speak to you. They ask me a question and I just… answer it…
The scariest part of a haunted house is the unscripted social interaction.

i think i would have liked barbie better if it had ended with allan escaping barbieland and somehow stumbling into hollywood and changing his name to michael cera therefore addressing that old meme about how michael cera looks like someone who one day literally wandered onto a movie set walked into a camera frame not knowing where he was cause he got lost and the director just decided to keep him
please don't scroll :(
Had to delete my other post because you could easily find my location by a building in the background (tysm for letting me know, btw!)
I feel sick to my stomach for doing this, but I truly don't have a single person to turn to. I tried contacting my father to see if he could take my cats in while I sort things out, but he said my step siblings don't like cats and he doesn't want to pick a fight with my step mother.
I couldn't raise the funds on time, and unfortunately I got evicted from my apartment a few hours ago, so now I have to somehow raise enough to pay off back-rent and find a place while I get back on my feet. My landlord's lawyer called to say he'll be taking this to court if necessary. So yeah, I'll take making a fool of myself on the internet over making my life even more miserable.
To be honest, I don't have a fucking clue how could I even get out of this, but i'll be damned if I don't try.
If you would like to help, you can do so here. Reblogs are highly appreciated as well ❤️🩹
kind of wanna reinforce this here. because i’ve seen ai writing become so popular on tik tok.
ai writing is not okay.
it’s literally theft. just like how ai art steals, ai writing steals. it’s using authors’ very real work to generate whatever you type in. and this also needs to be said as well.
writing is a form of art. fanfiction is a form of literature.
seeing this all over my fyp is REALLY discouraging. fanfic itself is already a labor of love and we love it when you interact. but please do not use ai writing for your fanfic needs when this writing literally steals from fanfic authors.
genuinely don’t know if this post will go around because my interactions outside of hcs are shit, but i hope it does.
“My greatest gift was, and always will be, you.”🦇⚔️
This started as a Silver birthday comic, but it kinda evolved from there. I was talking with my sister about what Silver’s first word was, which I then turned my ramblings into this comic! I’m really proud of it, especially how it looks as I tried really hard to use lots of manga techniques in it and I think it adds to the nostalgia…though I did reuse some lineart for the last page. I like to think that not only was that Silver calling Lilia ”father” for the first time, but Lilia calling Silver “son” for the first time as he might not have been sure of his role in this human’s life that he found.
May they always be together and happy! 😭

Ok yes mammon x mc is amazing and has that ride or die best friends who are in love soulmate energy
But lucifer x mc is so...compelling???
Specially S1 om! & S1 nightbringer lucifer x mc
It's enemies to reluctant allies to friends to more
It's the straight laced grumpy one x the sunny chaotic one determined to annoy him to hell and back
It's "I don't trust you, hell sometimes I don't even like you, but I need you"
It's caring deeply about each other but being annoying about it because they're both in this stubborn competition to see who can go the longest without admitting they like the other
It's "we don't trust each other, we don't get along but we understand each other and we're working towards the same goal (keeping our family safe) so we have to work together" only to find out they work well together
It's "I'm going to push all your buttons but I'm also going to be so protective of you"
It's "no one has ever spoken to me like this and that's frustrating but interesting"
It's "the day has been long and taxing and we're tired but we're going to find each other, sit with each other in companionable silence, exist next to each other for a moment and rest our bones"
It's the formation of unconditional loyalty and devotion without either even realising it
It's bullying him into healthy self care
It's teaching them a skill, running them through drills over & over and being proud when they use it, when he sees how much they've grown
It's "I'll kill for you" & "I'll die for you" and it goes both ways
It's a little bit unhealthy but by god is it interesting and intriguing and by god do you want to see where it goes
It's literally all my favourite ship dynamics all squished together
Love mammon x mc to death, and they just make sense but lucifer x mc feels like something that was catered to fit all my shipping tastes
cw: minors dni. melancholic. thoughts on aging. implied impending marriage.
You’ve asked Malleus once, as a joke, what would happen if you aged.
“Will you still love me when I’m no longer young and beautiful?” you sang, the whisper of your voice not unlike the rustling leaves of the swaying trees lining your path. As you remember it now, it was a cold evening in early November, and his hand seemed to turn to ice around yours and tighten suddenly, as though you were to slip through his fingers any moment, blown away by the wind. He stopped walking, and so did you, and you looked into his eyes with surprise, sensing that perhaps you had misspoken. Was he upset?
He looks down at you, and his face is the opposite side of the pale moon. He doesn’t speak.
“Mal…?” you whisper.
He grits his teeth. In the dark, you can feel his body stiffen then finally relax with a sigh.
“I will love you forever,” he answers finally. It seems to calm him to say this, an ease setting into his bones. “Forever,” he repeats to you, and perhaps to himself.
You have never forgotten that day.
However, the passage of time is inevitable, and thus, years have passed.
He calls you the fairest of all roses and you love him, remembering all the while that flowers wilt, while he, like the sun or the stars, remains everlasting. He has been here since you were a figment of your mother’s imagination, and he will continue to exist when you fade into dust.
And yet, a ring of emeralds, diamonds and rubies, arranged almost in a bouquet, sits on your finger, and you fiddle with it nervously as you are introduced to Briar Valley as its future Queen. How long will your reign last? How long will you be by his side?
“As long as I walk this earth,” he whispers into your ear. It’s part of a spell, something ancient, and the fine hairs on your neck stand on end.
You’ve been dressed up and paraded throughout this land so foreign to you. The curious stares of the townspeople have impressed upon you enough - the human who has caught the Prince’s heart! - but they are nothing compared to the way Malleus watches you now. Even if you can’t see him from where he stands behind you, half of his dragon features return to him in his bare state, strong tail wrapped around your midsection, you can feel the gaze.
He says something in an ancient language, and his lips press onto your neck.
“We will exist together.”
Another kiss. His hands settle on your belly to replace his tail around your waist, which now slides between your thighs. In claws shockingly gentle on your tender, fragile skin, runes are transcribed. A seal remains where his fingers work, glowing as the burning magic sets in.
Tears fall from your eyes as you realize what he’s done.
“It’s not worth it just to keep me young,” you insist. You would turn to protest, glaring at him for his sacrifice, if it weren’t for the fact that he still holds you so tightly.
“I don’t care about your youth, just that you’re mine,” he repeats. He's said it so many times before.
Teeth graze at your neck, and fangs sink, hard, and you cry out with pain, slowly abating as more magic is forced through your skin and courses through your veins.
“It’s not worth it,” you sob, as you feel yourself transform.
“It is.”
Malleus turns you so that you are facing him and the green of his eyes shine especially bright as he gazes upon you now. Your whole body seems to be aflame as your souls tie together.
He shouldn’t do this, but faes have before, and will continue to do so until the end of time.
Your heart pounds as your chest presses against his and you realize that they beat in time.
—
“Do you even know how many years you gave up?” you murmur into his skin, the warmth in your cheeks now faded. Perhaps Malleus has finally rubbed onto you permanently, because now you seem to have lost track of time, your prince kissing and caressing you through the remainder of the process.
You will never be fae, but you are something else now.
“They would be years without you. I have no desire to worry about things that are meaningless.”
Malleus’ fingers intertwine with yours and he kisses them tenderly.
The answer is yes. He’ll love you when you’re no longer young and beautiful.
He loves you enough that till death, and truly, till both of your deaths, do you part.
Obey Me Nightbringer Lesson 9 Spoilers! Rambling about this one thing about the new character and their connection to MC
Aight so I just finished all of the available lessons in Nightbringer and I just wanted to point something out. Not very in-depth or eloquent, nor do I have much to say, really, but I just thought this was worth noting.
So we get the game's namedrop in Lesson 9 (putting aside that one scene where Solomon says Obey Me!) when Adam tells us about the demon "Nightbringer".
Now, since we can assume that "Nightbringer" is just an alias, we have reason to think that there's a reason for it other than "Whee hee hee I'm shrouded in darkness, so call me 'Nightbringer'." We can also be confident that "Nightbringer" is the person who dragged MC back to the past. Adam was pretty adamant about MC being the person "Nightbringer" was talking about.
"Nightbringer" knows a lot about MC. Seeing that other than the main cast + Michael and Raphael(?), nobody should really know that MC is in possession of the Ring of Light.
Now, in Nightbringer, MC still has some power over the past version of the brothers. They're still capable of commanding them to stop in one of the earlier lessons despite not having a pact with them. We also see them manage to cast small-ish, simple spells every once in a while. In Lesson 9, however, we see MC bring out Lucifer's Ring of Light for the first time in NB to draw power from the demon brothers who were with them in the Mausoleum to open a portal to the Celestial Realm for Adam to ascend.
(not them brushing it off😭)
Apparently, "Nightbringer" could know more about MC and what they could be capable of.
From what I can remember, we haven't really seen MC wield the power of angels. We know that MC can wield the power of demons they have pacts with, but the power of angels? This is me going with the understanding that "wield" means "to use" in the sense that MC is harnessing the power of angels like with demon pact-mates, and not, like, cast angel magic themself. But then again, I am unable to think of instances where MC casts angel magic specifically (if angel-specific magic is canonically a thing).
What I find especially interesting about this is the timing of the introduction of "Nightbringer" and the use of the Ring of Light. Earlier this year, Obey Me! partnered with U-Treasure and made merch of Lucifer's Ring of Light. It's never mentioned in the games (I could be wrong and forgetting if they actually do mention it), but one special feature of the ring merch was the engraved message on the inside of the ring.
"Blessed be the bringer of light."
It was Lucifer's ring as an angel with the meaning of his name and all, but this also applies to MC. They brought light to the lives of the seven brothers in the first game, and they're doing it again in Nightbringer. Freshly yeeted out of the Celestial Realm, facing discrimination, haunted by regrets, etc etc, the brothers are in one of the darkest moments of their life. MC is just doing their thing of being the sunshine who brightens things up and stuff. They're basically the Lightbringer.
I just thought that it was interesting for the story to remind us of the fact that MC is the bearer of the Ring of Light the moment they introduce us to "Nightbringer" who obviously has a plans for MC.
What's this plan? Idk. Destroy the Celestial Realm using MC's powers, maybe. I don't really think "Nightbringer" was only interested in MC's capability to open the gates of the Celestial Realm just so this random human wandering the Devildom could reunite with his long lost love. Plus, I find it pretty weird for "Nightbringer" to mention that the person bearing the ring could wield the power of angels. If we're talking about being able to control angels like one would be able to control demons you have pacts with, MC is basically God. We've seen before in the first game just how much of a big deal it is for MC to be able to use their pacts to command seven of the Devildom's strongest demons without breaking a sweat. Solomon even says that it takes a lot out of him when he uses his pacts. If "Nightbringer" plans to take over or destroy the Celestial Realm, MC is the perfect instrument for him to use.
So, who could "Nightbringer" possibly be? Well this is just a guess because I wrote OM! fanfic and needed like, a music demon character and this one dude named Beleth popped up and apparently he's the music demon (according to The Lesser Key of Solomon, as cited in Wikipedia) and Adam mentioned hearing music before he came face to face with the demon who introduced himself as "Nightbringer" so idk lmao
my heart is so heavy with grief i can’t stop thinking about turkey. it’s a different kind of panic to wake up to tons of messages asking if your family and loved ones are okay (of course incomparable to what people have gone through, are still going through). i hope we get through this with minimal loss possible but the scale of it is so large it’s just. my deepest condolences to everyone going through it.
the death toll of the turkey-syria earthquake has now reached over 30,000. those who survived are in desperate need of food, clothes, shelter and medical aid. please please please donate if you haven’t done so yet; even ten dollars can make a difference.

oh my god, i just read some news about an earthquake in turkey, are you okay??
hello anon, thank you for checking in with me! I'm thankfully not that close to Kahramanmaraş where the M7.7 earthquake happened, me and my family made it out of our building safely and were only frightened.
For those who don't know, the southern part of Turkey (Kahramanmaraş as the epicenter) along with northern Syria were hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 followed by aftershocks and another wave of a 7.6 magnitude hours later. I cannot speak for what's happening in Syria but they are in dire need of help as well.
The entire region is devastated with more than 3000 deaths (and counting, news channels are hiding the real amount, or so they say) and 10s of thousands of injured and an unfathomable amount of people still stuck under the rubble, it has left hundreds of thousands homeless. The earthquake hit 4 a.m. at night, so many were caught defenseless and disoriented in their sleep.
The damage is this unbelievably devastating because the southeastern areas are criminally underdeveloped, and help cannot get anywhere in time due to collapsed roads and because the ratio of helpers to those who are in need of help are severely lacking. In some areas, people have been waiting for help for an entire day now, and no government aid has arrived.
We are in the middle of a snowstorm and people are dying of hypothermia if not from fallen buildings. Don't go searching for these videos if you're faint of heart, but I have to say that people are sending help calls and videos from under the rubble, some cities and towns still haven't received any support at all and people are still under rubble. The way their loved ones are trying to lift rocks and debris with their own hands is just... saying it's extremely upsetting is an understatement. The numbers of collapsed buildings and those fighting for life under are unfathomable.
It's so bad that Turkey has declared a state four level emergency, it's an international call for help.
Thoughts and prayers are heartwarming and mean a lot, but if you're able to donate just one dollar/euro or anything at all, please do. Turkish Lira is at an all time low right now, we are in the middle of an economic crisis. Imagine some currency is 20 dollars each, that's how bad it is.
1 dollar = 18 turkish liras 1 euro = 20 turkish liras
Therefore, this kind of money is lifechanging right now, so don't feel bad you aren't doing anything by donating so little, you're making considerable change. If you're able to help, please help.
Here are places you can donate to and explanations of the work they do
Instructions on how to donate to AFAD HERE.
Instructions on how to donate to AHBAP HERE.
Thank you for taking time to read.
listen, my favorite person in the whole world is at an earthquake area right now. i can't reach her, I heard from her friends that she's okay but I've been crying my eyes out for hours. over 5000 people have died in less than 24 hours. and more will come if help doesn't reach them soon enough. so yall better stop for one second to share the turkey earthquake news and reblog donation posts because i will not stand by and watch as the world ignores this whole thing just because we're not white people. share the news. its literally the least you can do.
hi bby just checking in i hope you’re good and safe my love! 🤍
hiii sweetheart!! thank you so much, I'm fine thankfully but the situation general in Turkey is not okay. we have already lost above 6000 people and the number is increasing rapidly. i have friends in the earthquake zone, they're fine but they can't seem to go to a safe place cus the roads are also collapsed. all i can do is pray for them.
also im leaving a link here in case anyone would be interested in donating, it would mean a lot to me and basically everyone in Turkey. all of us are trying our best to help and even if its the tiniest of generosity, it means so much more than to us. 🙏
SAVE TURKIYE🇹🇷
