Hey yall itâs me Iâm back, just wanted to come here to talk abt posting and the current story Iâve written about twisted wonderland.
I am still heavy in the fandom I just have like zero motivation to write and have deff grown out of that old style. Ive been in tumblr a lot and honestly just wanna post for fun and nonsense and not be held back by thinking I should continue a story I am no longer that interested in.
I donât know if Iâll ever pick the story up again but I will leave it open so ppl can still read it itâs just discontinued for now as I wanna post more ideas and shitpost.
Just wanted to say this before I post random stuff all over again and ppl ask abt the story so thatâs just so I donât need to repeat myself or feel bad for not updating it, sorry yall but I just donât feel it anymore, Iâll be here just not for Odette yuu.
The maiden fair and wise opened her eyes to be greeted by an old looking mirror, holding flame of green like wild trees.
Ah, my dear esteemed benefactorâŠ
âHuh, whoâs speaking?â
My proud, beautiful flower of evil.
âIs it..the mirrorâ
You are truly the fairest one of all.
âWhere am I, is this one of Barons tricks?â
O magic mirror, thy wisdom I entreatâŠ
Reveal unto me the visage I seekâŠ
âIt sounds like itâs casting a spell
You, whose image the dark mirror did beckon forthâŠ
If you heart buds it, take the hand of the one reflected in the mirror.
A hand reached out from the reflective surface willing the swan to hold it dearly
âI have a desire to hold this handâ and hold it she did, the two hands male and female grasped each other in an embrace of strangeness and curiosity. The mirror flickered.
As flame refuses even the stars to ash.
It showed a fire, burning of destruction and comfort.
As ice seals away even time itself.
Ice that holds a memory of fear and desperation.
As great trees swallow even the sky.
Earth swaying with beauty.
Fear not the power of darkness.
The hand held her tighter and her skin seemed to ache.
Common now, show me your power.
âI have none but this curse Iâm afraidâ all her words became trapped in her mind as her voice would not bare to interrupt the stranger.
We only have a little bit of time left.
All started to fade.
At all costs, do not let go of that hand.
She gripped it tighter fearing for if she lets go she would fall into a place much worse then now.
The soft fabric of the cramped space gave the girl a small amount of comfort, the thing she was in was very small not giving her room to extend her arms nor twist her body.
âWhats going on.. where am I?â She tried to push forward on the enclosure that was trapping her but nothing moved, not even allowing a crack of light to enter her space.
âI better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me...â a voice spoke from outside of her imprisonment, a squeaky voice.
âA, child..?â She let out a murmur her, voice coming of a bit starchy from not using it and squawking.
âUrgggh... This lid weighs a ton! Try this on for size! Mya-ha!â Suddenly hot steaming blue fire, one sheâs only seen the dark sorcerer Baron use, had blown the lid of her confinement. She stumbled out with the flames only slowing their heat to touch her for a moment, leaving no traces it was ever there apart from the smoking lid.
âFire!? Dark magic fire!â She panicked but all she saw was a weasel cat like creature.
âNow to grab the good- HEY! You ainât supposed to be awake!â It yelled at her from its place on the ground. The thing had a grey coat of fur and white fluff in the middle with blue flames emitting from the ears, and a tail that looked like a pitchfork.
âThe weasel talks..â she stated to no one but herself, her confusion, shock and a small amount of fear all mixing together to make an unnamed emotion settle in her.
âWhy am I shocked..? I turn into a swan when dawn makes her presenceâ
âHow... How DARE YOU! I am no WEASEL! I'm Grim, sorcerer extraordinaire! Tch. Whatever. You...human! Just gimme your uniform, and be quick about it!â
âAnd it wants to undress me as-well.. does this thing have no manners?!â
âIf ya donât your gonna regret itâ he seemed to be ready to strike her down, even if she made no offensive moves towards him.
âYou donât even know if I have any under clothes on and you ask me to undress?!, how impoliteâ her tone held words used only to defend herself yet this animal went in for a strike of flames, and thatâs when she realised that maybe being rude to another dark sorcerer while already being cursed isnât a good idea so she ran.
Running hasnât left her breathless in along time so she arrived to what appeared to be a library holding and ever continuing amount of books, like actually ever continuing, some books just kept coming through with no one there to restock them.
âMore magic..â she felt dread in her. âWhat if Iâm in a sorcerers lair? What if that animal back there was a henchman of Baron, whatâs going on??â The poor girl was left confused until said animal burst through the doors after her and her clothing.
âFoolish human! Did you really think you could slip away from ME?â the little beast had found her and cornered her inside the library. âNow, unless you wanna get burned to a crisp, take off thatââ
Something suddenly wrapped itself around the cats neck halting it from further aggression.
âYEOW! That hurt! What gives!â It started strangling around in its capture wanting its previous sense of freedom.
âConsider it tough love.â A man with a crow like mask that covered half his face appeared reprimanding the beast.
âNow he definitely seems like a dark sorcererâ everything thing in past experiences was telling her to run but she couldnât move, especially not when the man set his eyes on her.
âAh, I've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this year's new students?â âNew student..? Iâm not a student, is this an academy?â
âMy, were you ever eager to make your debut. And bringing a poorly trained familiar with you? That is a clear violation of the school's rules.â He tugged at the rope that bound Grim the creature, who seemed aggravated by being called a familiar.
âOh sir, heâs not mine I donât-â
âAs if I'd serve some lowly human! Now lemme go!â Grim struggled uselessly against his restraints once again not changing the fact that he was captured.
âYes, yes. Rebellious familiars always say that. Do be quiet for a bit, won't you?â The crow man did not seem to be very pleased when he turned to the girl with a tired look.
âDear me. Of all the students I've dealt with, you're the first with temerity enough to open their own gate and step out of it.Does the very notion of patience elude you?No matter. Your orientation has already begun. Let us return to the Mirror Chamber.â
The girl was now experiencing only one emotion in the moment, confusion. âGate..?â.
âYou awakened in a room full of gates, did you not?â If he meant the floating coffins then she nodded.
âAll of the students here at the campus arrived by passing through such gates. Although typically the students have restraint enough to wait until I open them before waking up.â
âSo the floating coffins are the gateways..?â
âThe design is intended to symbolize a parting with your former world, and a rebirth into a new one.â
âRebirth into a new life..is my curse really still untaxed then, itâs only night so I really canât tell, but..â how she hoped it was true.
âBut now is not the time for such prattle. You've a student orientation to attend! Go on, now. Make haste.â He turned away from her to walk before she spoke again.
âFirst can you tell me where I am?â She knew it was risky asking a sorcerer such type of question but she would like to know.
âHm? Have you not fully regained consciousness?The timespace teleportation must have addled your memories...â he trailed off âWell, these things happen, I suppose. I shall explain it to you while we walk. Truly, my graciousness is boundlessâ
âHe makes it sound like heâs the king of the worldâ the maiden gave a subtle roll of her eyes and walked forward with the man.
âThis is Night Raven College.â âCollege?â âIt is an institution for students the world over who demonstrate a rare aptitude for magic.â âSo I was right this is something of great sorceryâ
âIt is the most prestigious academy of its sort in all of Twisted Wonderland. And I am Dire Crowley. Having been entrusted with its care by the chairman, I serve as headmage.â
âAn academy of magic..?â Her face was drowned in confusion and she kept swimming down the river called fear.
âOnly those who the Dark Mirror perceives as having a talent for magic are admitted to the college. Those who are selected are summoned to the campus through those "gates," which can appear anywhere. A black carriage bearing one such gate should have come to meet you.â Headmaster Crowley answered her.
âI do remember a phantom carriage with no rider and only horrific horses..â she still remembered the splash of water when she hit the ground, or the door opening with no one to greet her but a coffin.
âThat black carriage serves to receive a student chosen by the Dark Mirror. It too bears a gate that connects to this campus. And as you know, sending a carriage to meet someone on a special day is a time-honored tradition.â Grim started to talk in a muffled sense although drowned out by his restraints.
âBut I bare no magical talent headmaster Crowley-â he seemed to not hear her and went in his way.
âNow then, let us attend you orientationâ and off they all went, in a silence that left unattended questions in the air.
NOTE: yay! Finished chapter one so I hope itâs to peopleâs liking this is not like edited as Iâm doing this all my self and Iâm confident it makes sense. Iâve also decided with the help of someone that Malleus will be the final love interest as I does make more sense. I donât really have an update plan as I sometimes lose motivation for things but Iâll try to attest have one chapter a week itâs not a promise though, Iâm quite exited to write yuu in her swan form, I think Iâm still gonna make her a student so imagine a swan showing up to a potions class trying to learn. I think itâll be funny, also gonna have to get someone like silver to translate for her since heâs good at talking to animals, anyway I donât wanna spoil much but have a nice day everyone!!
Yuu is isekaied into twisted wonnderlar, but they are a "independent" adult in their 20's, college ended and who is fighting for finding a job and survive.

Having the vision about the queen of hearts
Yuu: *waking up all of a sudden* I think I should put down that herbal teaâŠ..
Ace: *after almost knocking the door down* I need you to let me stay here.
Yuu: *with squinted eyes* If you wake me up again at this hour you'll stay out, I'm in an age and if I don't sleep I don't yield.
Ace: Ah! whatever, from today on I'm part of this dorm!
Yuu: I don't feel ready and I'm not old enough to have a teenager in my charge. âŠ.
Ace: *wearing Riddle's collar*
Yuu: What weird discipline methods are used in the magical world.
Ace: This was done to me by my housewarden!!!!
Yuu: âŠ
Yuu: What weird bullying methods you guys use in the magic world.
Ace: NO IT IS NOT!!!
Deuce and Ace discussing about Riddle
Yuu: *to Grim* I think this Riddle guy is going to be a problem child.
Grim: Technically he's our superior.
Yuu: ...
Yuu: There goes what little authority I had leftâŠ.
Entering Heartslabyul dorm.
Grim: This place is incredible!
Ace: *smiling* This is much better than that dump you call a dorm.
Deuce: What do you think Yuu?
Yuu: My gosh to clean all this⊠so much ornamentation, what a lot of dust that has to accumulateâŠ
Ace and Deuce: âŠ
Yuu: And so many rosebushes, damn, how much water has to be spent on watering.
Deuce: Looks like we're all going to the same class.
Grim: I'm going to outdo all of you.
Yuu: I'm practically your legal guardian already, no one can convince me otherwise at this point.
Crewel: âŠ
Yuu: âŠ
Crewel: You-
Yuu: Don't say another word, I've got enough on my plate.
Crewel: Let's get together once in a while after class, it'll be good for you.
Yuu: Thank you, I could really use someone who isn't a mess of hormones.
Crewel: *putting a hand on their shoulder* My condolences.
In the cafeteria.
Yuu: The food is good!
Ace: Of course this a prestigious school!
Yuu: And it's free!
Deuce: A-are you ok?
Yuu: *almost crying* I won't have to break my head thinking about what to eat every day.
Yuu: So the students are separated into dorms according to their abilities?
Cater: That is.
Yuu: My 10 year old self is shaking.
Cater: ?
Yuu: I'm in a magical school separated by houses, suck on that reality!!!
Riddle: Rules must always be obeyed!
Yuu: *sarcastic* Yes, of course, because people in positions of power always follow the rules.
Riddle: The world works because of the rules!
Yuu: Oh my boy, what a beating you're going to get when you leave school *sighing*
In the botanical garden
Grim: Are you the gardener?
Yuu: Grim!! this kind of work is very hard, *to Leona* you must be very tired, I apologize.
Leona: Tsk, I'm a student.
Yuu: *confused* And shouldn't you be in class?
Leona: And shouldn't you be out of school and working?
Yuu: Ouch.
Trey: You're pretty good at cooking.
Yuu: Ha, ha, ha, I've been living on my own for a long time, although this sweets thing is new.
Trey: Why?
Yuu: I didn't have the time or money for that many ingredients.
Deuce: *believing that chicks can born from any egg*
Yuu: My maternal instinct is getting triggered again?
Yuu: *seeing Cater's ability* I could really use that ability, fuck magic with fire and lights, I want to do several things at the same time.
Riddle rejecting the cake
Ace: All our work!
Yuu: Ha ha, how nostalgicâŠ. this reminds me of my first job, the exploitationâŠ.
Deuce: What ??
Yuu: *with an empty stare* Yeah, you know, all your hard work and dedication thrown away, like this cake.
Ace: *to Deuce* Are we going to become like this when we grow up ???
Deuce: React yuu!!!
Yuu: *come to their senses* How can you throw food away? I can tell you've never been hungry!
Ace: Aaaand back to "responsible" adult mode.
Trey after explaining Riddle's past
Yuu: So mommy issues? Ha, ha, welcome to the club.
Yuu: Do you think it's okay to have students fighting with magic in this way?
Crowley: It's a healthy duel.
Yuu: How can you still be the director of a place full of minors?
Yuu: Today's teenagers are scary!
Crowlwy: Not all our students are like that!!!
Yuu: Are you implying that you're scared of Riddle too?
Crowley: ...
Crowley: Today's teenagers are scary.
Yuu: Please, somebody stop him, the kid is going to get a stroke, he won't make it to 20 if he keeps going like this.
Deuce: Do something Yuu!!!
Yuu: And what do you want me to do? I haven't inherited my mother's chancla ability yet.
Riddle overblot
Yuu: This change can only mean one thing⊠I don't know if I'm ready for this... but as an adult I have to take care of itâŠ
Grim: ??
Yuu: * to Riddle* I know you're going through a difficult time, it's normal, but it's also natural. We all go through these changes in our body
Ace and Deuce: That's not !!!!
Yuu: Isn't that puberty in the magical world?!?!!!!
Trey and Cater: NOOO!!!!
Yuu: *after seeing Riddle's flashback* Someone please bring the little boy a strawberry cake.
Riddle: *apologizing and saying everything he wanted to do*
Yuu: That's it, get me on that mother, let's have an adult to adult talk.
Crowley: Yuu no.
Yuu: I'll show her what respectful parenting is NOT.
Riddle: I want to apologize for what happened.
Yuu: Oh, don't worry, it's okay, although I still don't get that magic thing.
Riddle: It was childish behavior.
Yuu: âŠ
Riddle: I wish I could be as mature as you.
Yuu: Hey, don't be in a hurry to grow up. That adulthood thing is a scam, you never feel mature enough.
Riddle: But-
Yuu: What matters is not to be more grown up in certain situations, it's to learn from them and take a note for the next one. And even if I seem more mature as you say, I'm just as lost as you are in some things, don't let anyone fool you, adults don't have everything under control.
Riddle: Thank youâŠ
Yuu: And let me give you some advice, the family tree can also be pruned.

We all know Grim will try to steal our blanket XD
I was crying making this
I love drawing malleus with long hair don't ask me why
TW School Shooting, mentions of dying
Currently in a lockdown over a possible school shooter, so in case I might die here's another picture of my Yuusona
Update: Not dead, turns out it was a hoax, so I will be finishing this drawing and put little doodles around it hopefully
I was (and still am) a lot scared to post this because I just started doing digital art a few days ago and have only really been practicing drawing guys. But I drew my Yuusona, or at least tried to and wanted to share it.
Her name is Momoka Yumemi
If you have any tips or critiques I'd love to hear it.
I know a lot of people like to think of Yuu overbloting and Grim being their overblot beast, but what if it was the reverse?
Like what if Yuu died, Grim overblots, and blinded by grief and rage, makes an overblot creature in Yuu's likeness as a way to cope with their death.
Yuu would be his overblot beast or it would give off the facade that Yuu somehow managed to overblot, with Grim being their overblot beast.
I made a smoothie
When I'm cooking something it's fun to imagine Yuu making something for themselves and Grim.
I am completely and wholeheartedly under the belief that Grim being in the same dream as Yuu is confirmation that Grim's dream/ideal world is one where he's with Yuu.
Like it's no secret that Yuu genuinely loves and cares for Grim, they've literally gone to hell and back for him, but it's also pretty obvious that Grim loves and cares for Yuu. From voice lines about him only behaving when Yuu is around to him trying to protect us in Book 7 to even the recent event with Stitch, we can clearly see how much Grim cares about Yuu (and their opinion) and sees them as his own family.
It's always been Yuu and Grim, never one without the other, two sides to the same coin.
And I think that's just beautiful.
