Azul would probably die of embarrassment when his mom shows baby pictures and when they are finally alone (thanks to Azul’s Stepdad reminding her she has a Business to take care of) he finally relents:

“I’m sorry, she is just excited to meet you,” Azul has yuu curled in his many arms inside his octopot.

“Is she the reason you waited so long to introduce me to your parents?”

“Yes… also she has three books full of photos hidden in the house I can’t find and my step-father won’t tell me where they are. They just appear when guest come over and disappear when I try to burn them later.”

“Well, we are meeting your Grandma tomorrow so things should be better there!”

Azul groaned.

“More picture books?”

“Six books. I have no clue how she got half of those photos, I think she hired the tweels behind my back!”

She's so happy upon learning about Azul's partner. Ms Iris Ashengrotto is a sweet woman whose restaurant started from the bottom to become a renounced, exclusive dining experience that only the most wealthy, prim and proper folks under the sea could have the privilege of eating. It's why the Ashengrottos and the Leech family have worked together for so long, it makes a fine establishment for their… “business” deals. She's what we would equate to Gordon Ramsay, really: no-nonsense, with strict and high expectations in her kitchen. Similarly, she is oh so sweet with children, her own especially.

So it was a pain to watch Azul grow up so lonely, though she could never get him to tell her why. Iris assumed that it was due to bullying, most merfolk are not kind to cecaelias, but she couldn't go off and scare random children into not interacting with her son. Nor could she talk to their parents without knowing for sure if that was the case, or if her son was just naturally shy. It didn't help her worries when her son got skinner and skinner, thinking she didn't notice him look at his body in the mirror as he poked and prodded at what little fat remained on him.

She took comfort when the Leech parents sent their twins off to keep Azul company, though he didn't seem to warm up to them for quite some time. Even when he went to NRC with the twins, opening his own establishment, Iris was still concerned about him making friends. It's why she was so pleasantly surprised to hear from her son during his second year about his partner. He's shyly gushing about you to him, a magicless human that slithered their way into his locked up heart. With the way he describes you, like you hung the moon and starts, she's already planning a wedding in her head.

It takes some nudging after that to get him to bring you for a visit, but he eventually did over the summer break. Oh, she was delighted to see his limbs unconsciously curl around you, holding you close as you curled into him yourself. You were so cute! A sweetheart! A delight! A perfect child-in-law! Azul, please forgive her if she starts sobbing, but how else is a mother supposed to react when she sees her child gaze at someone with so much love in their heart?

The first day she's monopolized your time, feeding you and Azul all sorts of food and snacks, offhandedly mentioning that the two of you would have to fatten up a bit to give her health grandchildren. She had to withhold a laugh at Azul's mortified expression. Iris has several albums of baby and childhood pictures, eager to coo over how cute and chubby Azul was as a baby. Her son is sulking at the other end of the couch, but he still has a tentacle curled around your ankle, never leaving you for long.

It's when she's hiding away her album (one of three, Azul's destroyed many be she always has spares), that she overhears your conversation. Iris had stopped by his bedroom to let you two know that she needed to return to the restaurant, but instead quietly delighted at the sight of you two in his octopot. A cecaelia's octopot, hiding place, is a very private and intimate place. So seeing you, cradled in Azul's lap, as his many arms hold you close to him, makes her heart swell.

What are he Halloweenie gang up to a year later? Skully or darling doing anything special for Halloween or their Anniversary? Fellow still in buisness? Is Rollo still in school?

Happy Skully Month!

AAAAA thank you dearly for rereading Halloweenie!!!!! It's one of my favorite fics I've ever written!!! >w< wishing you a very spooky, scary Skully month!!!!!! (¬ ´ཀ` )¬

:O a year already...... waaaa!!!! Fellow is still in business (Gidel ended up getting his oil paints after all and someone recently threw out a broken easel at the dumpsters, which Fellow fixed up for the darling, little artist. >w< Gidel was absolutely thrilled). The shop is running smoothly and this time Fellow's expanding into other holidays!!!! >:D the staff will don their angel garb come Valentine's and for Christmas they'll all be elves or reindeer to get into the festive spirit. Rollo is not looking forward to it. <3

Speaking of Rollo, he and darling are set to graduate in the coming year~ he's not going anywhere, though. He'll stay in Foothill Town and work at Fellow's shop during the seasons while he job-hunts. Although because they love him so much at school he may just look for work there in the meantime! And he's still going to be roommates with (Name). The besties can never be separated; they're a package deal. The library or the café sees him a lot whenever Skully drops by to visit (Name) LOL.

As for our favorite skeleton!!!! Big plans for Halloween. He's written up an entire list of activities he hopes to do with his darling Spider Queen~ carving pumpkins, strolling through the woods, having a picnic in the cemetery, writing poetry together, watching TNBC (obviously) too many times and singing along, playing some horror video games, watching other scary movies, painting each other's nails, doing each other's makeup, couple's costumes (naturally, you have to be Jack and Sally)!!!! He's so excited. There are many lovely things he's anticipating come Halloween.

But Skully also has a few surprises planned to celebrate the anniversary. The thing with Skully is that he'll remember every significant date as it relates to you, as if they're carved onto the headstone that is his heart. Not only because he's documented them in his journal but also because they're important!!! He'll never forget any of your anniversaries. He's written you such a sweet letter and he's putting together a basket with all your favorites, including some inside jokes between the two of you! It's all very cute and incredibly thoughtful. And he's getting you the biggest flower bouquet ever!!!!!!!! There will be lots of Victorian flower language within this arrangement; he hopes you'll be able to feel how much he adores you through all of this! >w<

How’s your OC’s rooming situation? Do they get along with their roommate(s) or do they enjoy the privilege of a room to themselves?

While he might be bigger, he's no different than any other first-year, in that he's gotta share with 3 other folks. He gets along pretty well -he thinks- with his roomies, even if they got basically interrogated for homelife styles out of the Big Guy's curiosity lol

(He's got a lotta stuff from friends, flea markets, photos, a Dinglehopper Display, and some plushies on his bed)

How’s your OC’s rooming situation? Do they get along with their roommate(s) or do they enjoy the privilege of a room to themselves?

Ramshackle/Pentergeist is so big there's no shortage of room for them to spread out around. They and Grim share a room of course, and get along about as well as an Older Sibling gets along with their bratty younger one lol Of course, Eu does take what opportunities they can (thrift and so on) for stuff that adds Quality of Life. This comes in the form of cat beds by windows ("NOT A CAT!" -🔥😾), 'Training Equipment' (wand toys), extra pillows on the bed (as if Eu doesn't get snuggles most nights cause 'Henchman's bigger so they gotta shield me at night!')

At first, Eu was SUPER nervous about the Ghosts sleepin' on the ceiling with them, but after learning more about each other and becoming familiar, they more welcome the company.

TAGLIST:

I was wondering if you could ship my Oc with a TWST Character!

Her name is Cynthia Widow and she is a Female TWST of Oogy Boogy from Nightmare Before Christmas.

She goes by She/Her and is in Ramshackle (She is Yuu).

She seems like the stereotypical good girl: kind, quiet, and fun-loving, but once she is comfortable around her, you see she is actually Cunning, sly, and very outgoing. She loves to play cards and luck/chance games with her friends (she starts an underground casino) and is a good cook. She is very elegant and graceful looking, but she is always listening and has a way of getting people to tell her their deepest, darkest secrets, desires, and truths to the point where she could blackmail anyone she wants too. She has perfected her mom glare and is fiercely loyal to her friends. She dosen't like potatoes and has a strange fondness for spiders and bats. Her live language is physical touch and quality time. She has a fear of snakes and is not the best athlete (though she does dance).

Lmk if you need any more information and thank you!!

One would think he would never take interest of you.

You're quite the opposite of him, it's true.

An outgoing gambling woman full of potential sin.

But that is what draws him in.

You're beautiful, covered in glitz and glam.

You gripped the heart of the righteous---

Like they are at NRC (now Co-ed after Yuu or maybe a co-ed equivalent) and fall for their own Goldfishie and Sea Snake! They end up in a relationship woth them and when Family day comes around, Riddle and Jamil finally meet Coral and Pearl, there is something oddly familiar about them.... then in the background like the Jaws theme:

"GOOOLDFISHIEEEEEE! SEA SNAKE!!!"

"Hehehehe~ isn't this a suprise?"

"It certainly is,"

Jamil and Riddle:

*They can never escape*

I think it would be funnier if one twin each got with a child of Riddle and a child of Jamil. For either one, it's like a nightmare brought to life.

They thought they escaped the trio back in their NRC years. As much as they could with you being their friend and thus their spouse, but still.

Their kid is telling them all about their new girlfriend, how fun they are, how smart, how cool etc etc. Maybe they offhandledly mention her name is Coral/Pearl, but it's probably just a coincidence that her name is the same as your kids. Then they mention that she's a mermaid...another coincidence, surely...

Family Day at NRC comes and both are surprised that their kids are dating siblings, but don't think much of it and greet the girls warmly.

When they finally meet twins, they both look remarkably familiar...too familiar...and a shiver goes down their spines.

"Sea Snake! Goldfishie! I didn't know you'd be our new in-laws! :D"

Jade and Floyd - Bombarding Yuu's thoughts with Domestic Fantasies

Riddle and Yuu - Unknowing Future in-laws

aslkdjalksfjkahsfakl PTM has so many funny possible scenarios, it's great.

I also see them being petty enough to take pictures with the grandkids and sending it to Papa Crewel and Nana Nurses, who are fuming that they have to work on land.

Keep up the amazing work on PTM and drink water!!!

Aaah! I love writing the domestic Shrimp Yuu x Tweels fluff!! It's so sweet and I'm a sucker for domestic shit

I think that Papa Leech is covered in old scars, which sometimes accumulate dead skin cells around the edges. That, combined with him rubbing into the dirt outside your home, makes him prime real estate for his grandshrimps to tackle and clean him. He says they tickle with their lil antennas!

Mama Leech in turn, loves to monopolize her time with the grandeels! They're always trying to slip out from her grasp, they're wriggly things that just want to swim around and play, but she wants cuddles! Her boys never let her cuddle them :( But don't be mistaken, they love her because she'll teach them about all the best spots for morays to hide and how to hunt for smaller fish in the corals.

Papa Leech is actually quite diplomatic and gets along great with Papa Crewel and Mama Nurse! He takes pictures of the grandshrimps on him and the grandeels with Mama Leech and sends them to Crewel and Nurse Goethel often. Mama Leech is polite, but more prone to be petty and send them pictures out of spite everytime Yuu leaves to visit. "How nice you get to see Yuu, it's too bad the kids can't go too, just look how cute they are!"

It's fine, Crewel returns the pettiness in kind and sends plenty of pictures of Yuu out with him, happy on the surface. "Oh I know, but at least we get Yuu! Look at how happy they are being back on land."

Their first excursions on land would be so cute as Crewel has all the clothes the Kids could wish for and Nurse is enjoying teaching them to use their land legs. (Plus they see Crewels Dalmatians for the first time and "puppy" became their favorite word).

Needless to say, Yuu's kids are spoiled Rotten on land and see.

(Again, thank you for being a octatrio brain rot haven)

(I'm always happy to have octotrio brain rot)

Let's set this in the same universe as the shrimpy chronicles fic, so the twins are Pearl and Coral! Azul is very fond of them, but feels a bit out of place as a fourth parent to the twins. If he feels this out of place with them, how will he feel with a hatchling?

But his partners are a great support, as you said, and really he just can't help the surge of emotion that comes through him looking at the pale green little hatchling in his arms. Plus, the (baby) twins absolutely love him and happily call him Baba; he might even be their favorite father, if the way they cling to him and cry when he leaves is any indication. The (adult) twins can't even be jealous, it's so cute seeing their partner curled up with their babies! And Coral and Pearl are nothing but excited about their new brother.

The little Beryl was an immediate topic of fascination for Coral and Pearl! They love their Baba Azul, and now he brought them a little brother! They want to play, but Pearl is a rough-play loving elver, and Coral matches that energy despite being a berry. Beryl is a hatchling, and much squishier and softer, so they have to learn to be careful. But Mama Ashengrotto is a sweet woman that is happy to teach them how to be gentle.

She indeed loves telling them stories about their fathers as kids, and the sort of things Azul got up to as a kid. The twins aren't sure if they're a big fan of the idea of studying a whole bunch like their Baba, but they like the idea of being in a band with Beryl when he gets older! Maybe Papa and Dada can teach them their respective instruments, and then Beryl can learn the piano when he gets older from Baba!

And of course, let's not forget how much Crewel and the Nurse are happy to get another grandchild! While I think Crewel is still mentally processing that Yuu got married with not one Leech, but both, when he got told that they were also married to Azul (and he to the twins), he felt a bit of his soul leave his body. Nurse Goethel, on the other hand, is just happy to have another son-in-law, and a grandchild!
