Yuu, who cowers when Riddle starts to go red.

Yuu, who hates the feeling of sand and avoids brushing shoulders with Leona.

Yuu, who panics when they’re too deep in the water, never trusts the Leech twins at the beach, and get scared by too many limbs.

Yuu, who shrinks away when Jamil looks them in the eyes a little too long.

Yuu, who rushes to compliment Vil, lest he get upset.

Yuu, who clings to Grim a bit tighter and doesn’t like going to Ignihyde alone.

Yuu, who stays awake until they physically cannot because they’re scared they won’t wake up.

“Neige is a subpar actor, a deplorable singer, his dancing is atrocious, and he always has an utterly baffling blank look on his face. How is he qualified to take the Fair Queen’s role as fairest? He is simply unfit to play the part.”

He wasn’t angry, you knew, but instead… distressed. Not in a truly harmful way, but in the way an unpreened bird might be. He was unintentionally seeking reassurance, and you were not about to let your beloved queen fall to his knees without support.

“Neige is just… soft.” Vil’s head snapped to you at the sound of your voice, retort dying on his tongue and scowl relaxing as he processed the thoughtful, formulating expression you had.

“You’re… ethereal.” Your eyes met his, and he waited for you to continue. The adoration and reverence in your tone and gaze kept him quiet. “It feels like if I approach you, if I stare too long, I’m going to break an artifact. People feel like they can talk to Neige. They’re scared to talk to you, because they don’t feel worthy to.” You paused, letting your words sink in as you formulated your final thought.

I’ll say it again:

Or their overblot form is a horrendous beast like the witches from madoka magica or the obscurus from fantastic beasts and where to find them

ABSOLUTELY

okay TW! for descriptions of intense pain and bodily harm, emotional distress, a panic attack, and brief suicidal thoughts.

In my headcanon, blot causes burns and the like (see this post for more details). So, if Yuu did overblot, it would be a HORRIFIC mess.

When it first starts, it's because Yuu was arguing. Their emotions got a little out of control, and suddenly they just... stop talking. Confusion overwhelms them as their nerves start to tingle, and they feel something warm drip down their face. For a second, they think it's blood.

Blood isn't black. Blood doesn't smell like this- like burnt tar. Blood doesn't sear your skin when it rolls over it.

The realization sets in. They look almost panicked, wiping the blot off of their face and staring at it in terror, before recoiling as the true pain sets in. They're trying to calm themself down, to stop this before it starts, but it's too late.

The blot is gushing now. Never has it been given such easy fuel- there is no magical resistance. But this fuel is short term. It won't last long. Not like magic does.

Yuu is full panicking at this point, tears mingling with the inky black liquid as they crumpling, pain and sobs racking their body. They can't stop this. They can't do anything. And it hurts. It hurts so bad.

The blot is burning their skin where it touches, searing pathways into the flesh. Steam is coming off of their skin in slight amount where the blot is cooking it. If the pain isn't sending Yuu into hysteria, the smell will.

At a certain point, the blot is more in control than Yuu is. Their body is covered, their sobs are muffled, and they're a cowering, writhing mess underneath the much larger, much more imposing, swirling mass of the inky substance. Whatever STYX thought they knew about phantoms is blown completely out of the water, because by the Seven, what is that thing.

All the while poor little Yuu is stuck, burning alive, screaming incoherently in agony, crying, and begging for someone to just end their pain.

honestly i think a constantly terrified yuu is so realistic bc can you imagine ending up in a school of all men and on top of that you have NO common ground with them AND they can use magic? i would be on the verge of tears constantly omg

No that’s actually SO real, especially for a fem!yuu. I know I personally struggle with social and separation anxiety, and anxiety in general. I would 100% spend probably the first solid week crying and panicking 😭😭😭 I don’t think people actually realize the scale at which the stress that situation would cause too, like even beyond just “hey you’re in a new world”

Like imagine having to figure out EVERYTHING from scratch, struggle to get jobs because you don’t legally exist in this world, and having to rely on a bird man who frankly either just wants you gone or to get free labor

Sorry I forgot the word traumatised 😭😭. Resentful was the first word that popped in mind so I used that term, but yes I did mean a Yuu that is fearful of the overblot characters.

Though imo matter what yuu is feeling, the canon reaction of the characters won't probably change. Though some of them might feel slight guilt (like riddle and vil, maybe? Definitely Leona if yuu is fem presenting). Malleus might be the only one who'd feel genuinely regretful as yuu is the one person he had amicable relations with.

You’re good pookie <3

EXACTLY though like one thing I want to bring up all the time is that very few of them actually tried to be better after their overblots.

Riddle is a bit looser with the rules, but Leona is still the same, Azul is still the same, Jamil’s still the same, Vil MIGHT be considered to be a little teeny bit better but still not making great strides or anything, Idia didn’t log out early and played video games at another person’s house ONCE so like good for him ig, and Malleus… weeellllll imma be honest I haven’t finished book 7 quite yet so I can’t really speak on him
