An Incomplete List Of Things That One "T" Has Done During His Time Attending Night Raven College

I miss his horn 😔

"every possible kind of content can be found on the internet" yeah sure except for the One fucking thing I'm looking for. why does no one want to talk about the One Singular thing I'm looking for. but yeah other than that everything is on here.

If I'm not gonna work on my assignments I might as well commit to working on the creative thing. Tumblr I'm relying on you to hold me to keep working until I have a full fic and not give up halfway through.

Basic concept: Fake TWST event ft. new made-up school cause I wanna do SOMETHING with it.

Event plot line goes as follows: Despite the first Promising Young Mage Social ending in disaster, the schools agree to attempt holding it one more time. This time, the hosting school will be Twining Fates Academy, due to the school having a reputation for its extremely safe, controlled campus. Crowley ends up raffling another 10 students, but that number goes up to 14 due to the inclusion of Ramshackle dorm + Twining Fates specifically noting that groups of visitors should come in even numbers.

Note that this would take place in what I am referring to as my "Double-Yuu" AU... hence why the inclusion of Ramshackle brings the count to 14.

Explaining more later

Day of Fateweaving

The Day of Fateweaving is a holiday in Nightbloom City meant to celebrate everlasting bonds between people. It is said that on this day, people used to cast spells with a partner that magically bound their destinies together, so that no matter what they would stay by each other’s sides. This spell was first said to have been cast by the Enigmatic Storytellers, a promise that they would always be together.

To symbolize these bonds, people weave friendship bracelets out of fiber, plants, fabric, and whatever other materials they can gather. Traditional ones are very simple, consisting of a woven brair in two colors; one that represents you, and one that represents the intended recipient of the bracelet— sometimes with a charm of some sort attached. However, plenty of people make them completely differently. Every relationship is unique, and as such, so are the bracelets.

Originally, they were meant to be exchanged with your best friend. However, the tradition has since been expanded, and people exchange bracelets with close friends, family members, and lovers. The only requirement is that you cherish this person deeply.

Usually, people will make the bracelets on Fateweaver’s Eve, and then exchange them on the Day of Fateweaving. It’s customary to wear any bracelet you receive for the entire day, and locals often wear shorter sleeves in order to display any bracelets they get.

This holiday is celebrated officially by Twined Fates Academy due to its association with their idols. On Fateweaver's Eve, workshops are set up so that people can gather materials for their bracelets and learn to make them if they don't know already.

It is around this time that the Promising Young Mages' Social takes place.

TWST OC FACTS - Aster and Adie

Profiles for both of them are here, for anyone who's interested in who these two are

Both of them go to Twining Fates Academy (a school I entirely made), and they're in their third year

They've been the student librarians since their first years, which is... distinctly unusual, as most student librarians are second or third years when they take the role

It's an open secret among the library assistants and frequent visitors that Aster straight up refused to take the role unless Adie was the other student librarian

As a result, there are some questions as to whether he's actually worthy of the role, especially since he seems like the type who would never speak a word to another living person again if given the opportunity

There's also some people who think Aster shouldn't be a librarian, but nobody's willing to challenge him

Aster has a ridiculously large magic pool for a human. He's not godlike, but he's still leagues beyond other humans

Despite this, he seldom casts magic outside of classes, even in situations where he'd be perfectly allowed to

He's also extremely cautious about blot accumulation, to the point where many people see it instead as paranoia

Adie has a tendency to stare into space, and has scared the hell out of several of his classmates by staring at the area where they happen to be located in

He also scares the hell out of people by appearing on the scene of trouble very quickly after it starts, as if he's got eyes all over the school

Adie is fae, and was born in Briar Valley. He has wings that he hides using a glamour charm in his cloak pin. Partially so that he doesn't stand out, partially because they're rather large and unwieldy in narrow hallways. He just hides his ears with his hair

He hasn't mastered the spell to glamour them himself, so, cloak pin

The two of them have exchanged friendship bracelets on the Day of Fateweaving every year since arriving at the school

My wife and I have a little game we play called "Speaking From Ignorance."

To play Speaking From Ignorance, all you need is a phone with a voice recorder, and another person who knows considerably more or considerably less about a topic than you do. The topic can be anything: from "how to bake a quiche" to "what happens in the Peter Jackson Hobbit movies" to "who is Florence Pugh" to "how does the traveling salesman problem work." All that matters is that one of you has a firm grasp on the material, and one of you absolutely the fuck does not.

Then the person who knows about the topic turns on the recorder, and says to the person who knows barely anything: "Hey - tell me everything you think you know about [X]."

The speaker is then not allowed to ask any questions. Nor is the expert allowed to volunteer any information. The expert is allowed to pipe up with a faintly incredulous "Oh--really? Do you--do you think so?" from time to time, but for the most part, the expert's job is just to sit there and make encouraging sounds while the speaker digs their own grave.

This is never not funny.

The reason you record it is because, very often, the first thing the speaker wants to do after finishing the recording is find out how you actually make a quiche, or whatever. Then you both get to go back and listen to how wrong they were.

We have a small library now of Speaking From Ignorance recordings, and I'm going to be listening to them until I'm eighty.

"Fukuzawa adopted Ranpo as his son" this, "Fukuzawa adopted Ranpo as his son" that, you're all WRONG.

Ranpo adopted FUKUZAWA as his dad.

The dude showed up, Fukuzawa fed him, and then Ranpo never left. Ranpo is like a cat that doesn't leave after you gave it a scrap of food.

Fukuzawa just had to roll with it.
