✧ 黎明，晚霞 ✧

So Seura is twisted from a Disney thing, but I don't know how easy it is to clock? I'm playing Calvinball and always will with this sort of thing. I kinda wanna see if anyone can guess it.

Yura is the manifestation of my desire to shake NRC boys by the shoulders and tell them to take better care of themselves. Leona and Idia especially. Let it be a testament to this game's character writing that I made a guy for the express purpose of throttling my faves.

WOW thank you for the warm reception on the Treycay! This AU has been consuming my brain. I planned on doing Ace and Deuce's designs next, but up until like... Yesterday? I hadn't settled on a weapon form I liked for Ace. Shoutout to Silk for once again bestowing me with the best and funniest idea possible. (pictured)

(He's not JUST a steel chair, of course. You'll see.)

In that downtime, I've been tooling with Riddle and Floyd. Their designs came to me pretty easily: I knew I wanted to give Riddle huge boots and the Maka-inspired long coat, and the rest followed suit. Riddle ended up very Kingdom Hearts-y, which I am delighted by.

Alongside that, me and some friends have been talking worldbuilding! One of the really easy and VERY interesting decisions we came to was having black blood/madness be this AU's equivalent of overblot. They achieve the same thing--a crazy evil berserker state--so I'm gonna use the terms interchangeably. Of course, the exact emotions in each are a little different. This has had...

Interesting consequences.

I'm still working out the exact timeline -- there is a VERY evil part of me that wants to hold off on Trey and Riddle splitting up as weapon and meister until AFTER Riddle has already had his brush with overblot. That would mean that Trey would be the weapon in Riddle's hands when he tries to kill Ace, Deuce, and Cater, which... Is as evil as it is interesting. Decisions, decisions.

In significantly lighter news, regardless of when Riddle gets heckled into accepting Floyd as his new weapon, he gets to deal with frequent phone calls from Azul Ashengrotto as she oh-so-diplomatically tries to guilt trip him into giving her fucking gun back. (pictured)

The promised Soul Eater AU!! This was just an idea in my head for a while until Silk reached out and pitched me some KILLER concepts. Here's the gist;

Trey and Cater are a weapon/weapon pair. Despite being a weapon himself, Cater usually takes on the role of meister, and is on a losing streak of his weapon partners leaving him for other meisters. Trey, on the other hand, was Riddle's weapon partner, but they split around final exams during Riddle's first year because they were never able to resonate. Trey is EXCEEDINGLY normal about this! (pictured)

The AU so far focuses on these two, the freshly-weaponless meister Riddle (and the eel that keeps poking him with a stick), and incoming first year weapon and meister Ace and Deuce.

I have some ideas for the non-Heartslabyul dorms as well, but I'm still cooking for most of them! I have the clearest pictures for Heartslabyul and Diasomnia at the moment. I welcome ideas. And clothing refs. Please god. Here's a ton of words of me agonizing over character fashion.
