"I definitely wasn't expecting to wear something like this so quickly..."

The matter of the Ghost Bride is over and done with, but she's not the only ghostly royal looking for their beloved. There's also stories of a ghostly prince, who rises from his crypt every ten years to find his princess. Good thing NRC only has male students, so nothing ever happens!

He's a catfish...

I needed to scribble smth for a cooldown, so, boom, Yu-mer-mi and merGrim

"It'll be a cool-down sketch," I said, "nothing clean," I said....

I was wrong 8'D

Inspired by @beniyuuri's piece showing Yuuri's different stages, I did one for Yumeimi! Yes, she has had the same hairstyle pretty much her entire life. Which gives Vil conniptions when he finds out.

Elementary School: Starts well enough, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed and ready to take on the world. But by the second half of elementary school, she has lost her smile, due to a combination of bullying classmates, frustrated/apathetic teachers, and a family that doesn't see her so much as how exceptional she could be.

Middle School: The sea bunny hair ties appear, given as a prank that she didn't understand til later. Her bangs are getting longer and falling into her eyes. Nearer the end of middle school life, the overt bullying shifts to ignoring/excluding, she has even less to smile about. Starts wearing thick sweaters and cardigans to help herself hide.

High School/Pre-TWST: Becomes Assistant Coach to the swim team so she can have something to do/someplace to belong, it doesn't work. Has started fending for herself at home since her family is too busy with those who 'deserve it more' (her thoughts, not their words). Through cooking her own meals, discovers how much fun bento-making is. Attempted to cut her own bangs, this went horribly wrong and she's stuck with teeny bangs now.
