Hi, I read the situation and honestly it hurts seeing what happen to Trein, but the concept of NRC being isolated reminds me of Resident Evil/Biohazard stage and its manga manhawa desire.
Both of this is isolated and same time the ink infection made me think of the "Epic Mickey" like its involve of the inks and its monster creation.
So I imagine that there is a cure for this situation.
yes there is infact a cure, however it's hard to make since some ingredients are harder to obtain, or aren't obtainable on sage island (eg, a crushed, freshly mined mage stone, an ink blossom yet to bloom, ink, pheonix tears, etc). plus they're still trying to figure out a recipe that works. not too mention even after recieving the antidote, some features may remain, aswell as a black marking resembelling the ink blossom permanently staining the skin of those who were once infected.

TWST APOCALYPSE AU.
Tumblr media
ᴛʜᴇ ᴏᴠᴇʀʙʟᴏᴛ ᴠɪʀᴜꜱ — a horrifying infection that has existed for centuries. it doesn't appear to be contagious (yet), but it has devastating effects on those who fall ill with it. it appears to manifest from within a mage, but researchers at S.T.Y.X. note there are external and internal factors that contribute to the speed at which it spreads. it may be possible to treat an infected individual, but it is difficult if not caught by the second stage and requires immense patience, effort, and resources. the virus appears to deteriorate both the body and mind, rendering the infected a mindless monster after a certain period of time.
it is recommended that you avoid those who are beyond saving, for they are highly dangerous!
Tumblr media
ᴄᴏᴍᴍᴏɴ ꜱʏᴍᴘᴛᴏᴍꜱ — officially identified by the lead research team at S.T.Y.X., these are indicators that one has been infected. [please note that case-specific symptoms, while rare but not undocumented, seem to manifest in especially skillful mages.]
☒ patient coughs up a black, tar-like substance (this is known as and has been identified as blot).
☒ patient experiences heightened emotional fragility (especially for negative feelings).
☒ patient develops unsettling, pitch-black coloration on their fingertips.
☒ patient suffers from fatigue, persistent headaches, and irregular body temperatures.
☒ patient's tears and saliva are dark and thick; near-syrupy. gums and teeth are affected as well.
☒ patient claims to hear and see things that are not there (e.g., the wrong reflection in a mirror, a strangely-shaped shadow, voices).
☒ patient's magestone blackens with blot.
Tumblr media
ꜱᴛᴀɢᴇꜱ ᴏꜰ ɪɴꜰᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ — officially identified by the lead research team at S.T.Y.X. after studying countless subjects.
STAGE 1.
little to no immediate changes or symptoms. patient appears mostly fine. they may not even realize they are infected at first and will only complain of feeling itchy or irritable. magestone has just begun to tarnish.
STAGE 2.
common symptoms begin to emerge and will only worsen with time. magestone slowly accumulates blot. fingertips will have begun to blacken. minor headaches stretch on into longer periods of time and grow to be more painful. patient may appear uncharacteristically volatile. blot eats away at the patient's magic reserves. it will spread quicker depending on how much magic is overused and if the patient shows extreme emotional distress. patient develops a cough.
STAGE 3.
patient will begin to see and hear things. S.T.Y.X. named these shadow apparitions phantoms. patient may cast a shadow (phantom) that is not their own. staining on the patient's fingertips will have spread further through the fingers by this point. magestone is very cloudy. patient is prone to coughing fits. patient is unable to recognize bodily cues for hunger or exhaustion. feelings of emptiness persist. patient may experience a stabbing sensation in their chest or stomach areas. patient may not seem very emotionally or mentally present. spotty memory; they struggle to recall what or why they are doing certain things. patient appears almost lost. patient's body undergoes various external and internal changes: loss of appetite, stained fingertips, rotting gums, weakened teeth and bone structures, tears and saliva take on the consistency and color of blot, inability to fall asleep, etc. the blot eats away at the patient from the inside after magic reserves have been depleted. patient is dying.
STAGE 4.
magestone is consumed by blot and is no longer safe to use. patient's internal structures are compromised and failing. blot sustains the patient; they become a host for the blot, which acts almost like a parasite. patient is no longer conscious or living. peculiar structures like extra limbs or unusual growths sprout from and deform the body. it is consumed by blot. the air around the infected patient is thick with a high concentration of blot. patient only speaks in guttural growls and struggles with certain syllables. some are capable of coherent, intelligent speech, but in many cases communication and language are usually lost, as is the memory of who they once were. S.T.Y.X. has yet to identify the lifespan of an overblot (the term coined for those who have succumbed to the infection), as some overblots can exist for a very long time. at this stage, an overblot patient is highly dangerous and hostile. avoid contact at all costs. [additional research on this stage and others is currently being conducted.]

I forgot I was doing the infection au but I talked about it with @anxious-twisted-vampire months ago about the concept of how this would work magic wise
Consider the blot is almost connected to a virus that spread like a plague. It makes people overblot even though the little magic being used, or the amount of stress/overwhelming emotions. This “virus” has began to form into something much worse. People would feel exhausted, dazed out, feel like they were spun, and lose consciousness over their actions. Such as forgetting their own thoughts, food, and life in the process. The virus has infused itself into the magic system, and will spread into the brain until the only thing their host will think is to feast on magic to gain more energy to infect others. If you attack it physically, you’re good as infected. But if you don’t use magic and range attack at a far distance. You’re safe.
This “virus” is weak to magic, yes it is connected to magic. But only those who were immune to them. There is a cure for this, but it all lives in the 7 domain of the once heroic 7 homes. Hidden with a riddle, and if gathered. Can make a substance of immunity to overrule the virus and “kill” it completely. But there is a catch. You would have to make a huge batch and the domains doesn’t contain that much.
Stage: Exposed, exactly as described (curable)
Stage 1: lack of sight and acute hearing (100% curable)
Stage 2: signs of nose bleeding and twitching, slowness (100% curable)
Stage 3: Magic overflowing and blot patches start to form (50/50 curable)
Stage 4: Blot overforming/virus taking a darker form to cause the body to have long limbs and black scleras (lost cause)
Stage 5: Infection complete take over, someone will “overblot” but will feast on anyone or anything to presume power. Anyone with magic source will be harmed on sight (run away)
And funfact. Crowley did make some for his family to survive. But I refuse to be peaceful for Darling and she didn’t take the beverage laced with the immunity so it went to Yuu instead. So Darling has a risk chance to be infected and turn into a monster.
Though I will make her either immune due to her overblot fusing with her phantom. She has more docile control over. But this also gives her a dangerous risk if the virus infects her blot. She will either be hostile and jaded, or break free from its nightmarish effects.
Dire will actually be useful and help Yuu and co to get more of the ingredients for the antidote. But trust me, this man will suffer a lot of consequences with many choices is him protecting his family then himself and everyone around him over his own life. SO KEEP HIS RECKLESS ASS ALIVE IF YOU WANNA LIVE DAMMIT
Cuz trust me. If he’s even infected, it will not a pretty sight to know the only person who knows how to get through each 7 riddles and come back ALIVE to get either ingredients will be the last hope of survival

i love your monster au so much!!
pls consider the twst charas reacting to yuu cracking their joints and being like
"did you... just break your bones.....?" or "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU OKAY??????"
or or them reacting to yuu telling them how dangerous human bites are like,,,
"did u know human bites are the second most dangerous animal bite?? (after mosquitos!) because of the amount of bacteria they carry? yeah lol sometimes ppl who get bitten (mostly by children) have to get that limb AMPUTATED bc of infection :))"
"what........ the. fuck???"
these have probably been mentioned before, but i'd love to see you elaborate or share your thoughts on them! it's not a request, but you can write something about it if you want to! :) <3
Technically the human bite one was touched up on in this ask here, but as for the other one...
It’s amazing how—despite the fact that cracking joints is healthy for us when we’re out of sorts—there are so many people who are shocked or recoil when they hear someone seemingly crack and pop every single joint in our body. XD
Humans are weird even to themselves, let alone to monsters who know next to nothing about us hoomans. :V So let’s take an extra crinkly Yuu and toss them in amongst these monsters, shall we?
////-------------////
It was another normal day at NRC, the sunlight streaming in through the clean windows of the freshly renovated Ramshackle Dorm. Stirred from their slumber, Yuu slowly sat up—minding Grim as the chimera continued snoozing beside them—and yawned. Despite the bed being comfortable, they still woke up stiff and tense. Without a second thought, they put a hand to their chin and—
K-r-r-ack!!
“Mrah!?” Grim yowled as he jumped, staring at Yuu in horror as they repeated the process on the other side and earned more pops and cracks. “What the heck was that?! Are you okay!?”
“Mornin’ Grim,” Yuu greeted, stifling a yawn before twisting their back—earning a multitude of creaks and pops. “Just slept a little funny last night and woke up stiff, so I’m getting the kinks out.”
Kk-krk-krk-pop!
“Okay, I’m ready!” Hopping out of bed, they started getting ready and asked, “So what do you want for breakfast today?”
“…I think I lost my appetite,” Grim uttered.
“Okay, breakfast sandwich to go it is, then.”
///
Krk-kk-k-kh!
“Gah! Yuu, what the hell?!”
“Are you okay?!”
“Human! Are you injured?!”
“Wot the hell?!”
“Urk!?”
“Can’t the Great Grim eat his breakfast sandwich in peace?!”
“Sorry guys! I just woke up really stiff this morning and needed to stretch.”
Ace looked at them in horror as he said, “Are you kidding me? Everyone thought you broke your arms and legs with all that cracking you did at PE this morning! How can you still be making more noise?”
“What? I was just loosening up a few joints with some stretches so I could keep up with everyone!”
“Coach doesn’t even chase you as hard as he chases us around the track, yet you’re the one who sounds like a crumpled soda can,” Epel commented warily.
“Is this normal for humans?” Deuce asked in concern, forelegs shuffling nervously as they made their way towards their next class. “It sounded like it really hurt…do you need to see the nurse?”
Yuu shrugged and said, “No, I’m fine, really. It only really hurts if you try to force it and don’t let the muscles relax first. Back home, we have people called ‘chiropractors’ who do the cracking for us when we’re in too much pain to move a certain way. Don’t your joints crack and pop too?”
“Well yeah, whenever we stretch it can happen sometimes,” Ace answered. “But if it’s constant clicking like what you’ve been doing, it usually means that something is wrong like an injury or something.”
“Oh.”
“In canine monsters, it usually means that there’s a torn ligament or it’s bone rubbing against bone,” Jack explained. “My father experienced that once before, and it took him a while to heal after he got the problem fixed.”
“Oh wow…sorry, I didn’t mean to make you guys worry so much,” Yuu said, thinking back to the grape incident as they entered the classroom together. “I’ll try not to do it as often, okay?”
“If you have to do it, then don’t do it before or after I eat!” Grim said.
“You’re still eating the breakfast sandwich I made even though you complained about losing your appetite this morning.”
“As if the Great Grim would ever let good food go to waste…”
//
Class began as normal, Yuu listening to Professor Crewel as he instructed them on what was on the agenda for the day as the homework assignment was collected. For the most part it wasn’t bad, but today Yuu was feeling more tired than usual after the workout from this morning. As they sat at their desk, they shifted a little uncomfortably. There was some tightness in their upper back, and no amount of shoulder rolls or slight stretching could ease the pressure.
Out of the corner of their eye they saw one of their monster classmates begin to stretch, stretching his arms over his head as he yawned before settling back in his seat. Maybe that was the kind of stretch they needed to do…worth a shot anyway!
Raising their arms and interlocking their fingers, Yuu straightened their back and curved as their arms bent back—
CR-AK-KK-K-KH!!!
The whole classroom fell silent, multiple pairs of eyes turning to face Yuu as they sat frozen in their seat with arms still stretched over them. Even Yuu was stunned by the sheer volume of the cracks that escaped their back, faintly making out their friend’s expressions as they stared in open mouthed disbelief and horror. That was the loudest crack they’d ever heard their body make! At this point Yuu was afraid to move, looking like some comically stretched out statue.
Before anyone could ask if they were okay, Yuu asked, “…am I dead?”
///
Despite the sheer amount of panic and concern the class had over their wellbeing, Yuu was given the all clear by the medical researchers after a quick x-ray revealed that they had not—in fact—broken any bones. It was during a discussion with the researchers that it was discovered that chiropractors were in fact a thing in Twisted Wonderland. But given the fact that most monsters don’t use it as often as other medical practices such as acupuncture, it’s become a rare practice that very few still teach.

I have a ton of crazy twst aus that I'm never ever gonna capitalize on, so I'm just gonna throw out the one that's invaded my daydreams the most recently.
So it's like zombie apocalypse au, but instead of zombies, it's blot. So they don't really have "phantoms" but the blot acts like a brain-eating parasite. Like the one you see in slugs that slowly eat away at them until they take over their bodies. So blot turns them into lifeless creatures, but they have magical abilities that make them more of a threat. The way it spreads is by eating at magic, so using magic against it is pretty much useless and can get the user infected too.
Think... like the flowers in the recent masquerade event, except instead of destroying magic and rendering the sorcerer useless it uses them to get stronger and spread faster.
So it starts with Riddle and inevitably spreads around until there's only a handful of people left who are desperately looking for a cure.
I personally think the survivors would be those who are super resourceful rather than extremely magically talented. Like Ruggie, Epel, Rook, Azul, and Jade (maybe). There would be a few exceptions like Kalim and Idia, and I think that Lilia and Silver have a decent chance of surviving. I wouldn't really say Malleus could since he's pretty reliant on the fact that he's magically strong. Ofc MC survives because they don't have magical capabilities, but they'd probably lose grim which is pretty devastating tbh.
Ruggie and Epel are both able to use their environment to their advantage really well, they know how to make meals out of very little and can survive in harsher environments easily. They're obvious contenders I feel, so they'd both be likely to survive in a more apocalyptic setting.
Rook I also feel is obvious. He's a hunter, and while he does use a lot of magic, he likely can survive without using it. He's good with a bow and arrow, incredibly strong, and way smarter than he lets on. The only way he might die is by sacrificing himself for Vil or someone else, but I don't think Vil would let him do that anyway lol.
Azul and Jade I'm on the fence about. Azul is really resourceful, but he's not exactly athletic or anything. He'd be a vital member of the group for understanding how to bargain and he has loads of knowledge, but other than that he's not too useful in any way. He's just good at conning people into keeping him alive. Jade I feel has a higher chance of surviving than Floyd, but he'd likely only survive if he was able to get away from Azul and Floyd at the start of the spread. He's great to have because he is athletic and can also survive in harsh environments, but he's also Jade so he doesn't deserve to live.
Kalim and Idia are a case of surviving out of sacrifice. I'm sure you could figure that out, but Jamil absolutely would sacrifice himself for Kalim. I'm sorry if you disagree, but it is ingrained in Jamil to protect Kalim and he is fully ready to die for him if he has to. Ortho would sacrifice for Idia, and Idia would only live on because Ortho told him to. Kalim wouldn't be all that resourceful, but he'd be good for group morale and keeping everything happy and healthy. Idia would be amazing if you could get him to any building with any electronics. He can find a way to get the power up and running, and once he has power he has the ability to have eyes everywhere if he so pleases. Really good for looking out for danger too.
Lilia and Silver are probably on a case-by-case basis and depend on how I would write everything. Lilia is a war general so he's been in some pretty tough places. He absolutely could survive an apocalypse, but the death of Sebek and Malleus might just be too much for him to stand. He only recently learned to love because of them, how could he go on without them. Silver would keep living out of sheer willpower. He could lose everything around him, be absolutely devastated, and keep a strong face for his lost family and friends.
There are a couple others that could be swapped in or out, and I'm sure everyone else has their own opinions, but that's kinda my take on the whole au lol.
Thank you for babbling, I'm going back into the void <3

Hello hello~ I was wondering if you like zombie apocalypse AU’s? If so, Because my request for you is a non Twst zombie apocalypse!
Lilia and Silver become separated and try to find each other with the odds stacked against them- with their respective parties trying to instill the realistic idea that their father/son is likely dead, but when they find a sign of the other, they have hope.
[✐] ficlet frenzy
Four years ago, a mysterious outbreak swept the world by storm. Countless people had, seemingly out of nowhere, become stricken by a strange disease, one that clogged their minds with a vile, ink-like substance that had come to be known as “blot.” A zombie apocalypse, the news reporters called it, the infection rendering people mindless, shambling monsters. It was a topic that was once restricted to the realm of fiction, except now, it was their reality.
Over the course of mere months, the world collapsed in on itself. Countless people died, succumbing to the illness — those who merely passed away were considered lucky, for a sizable number of them wound up reanimated by the blot, groaning as they shambled around with the purposes of finding others to attack.
Silver had been lucky that his father was such a capable man. For the first several months, the two of them had taken refuge in a bunker Silver hadn’t even known they’d had, keeping each other company, their only source of news coming from a crackly radio. It wasn’t until they’d begun running out of food rations that they were forced to leave the safety of their shelter, venturing out into the wild as well-equipped as possible, searching for any supplies and signs of civilization.
They’d stuck together for a year. One year of surviving together, working in tandem, until a horrific ambush at a seemingly abandoned building, zombies suddenly storming the lobby, split them apart.
Tumblr media
“My father isn’t dead.”
That is the truth that Silver stubbornly lives by, refusing to relent on this vicious belief no matter how hard any of his fellow survivors try to tell him otherwise. The only person who remotely believes him is Kalim; everyone else looks at him with scepticism when they hear his insistent words. Riddle simply frowns, while Jamil heaves a sigh, and the twins look at him with a mocking pity in their eyes. Even Idia, when he bothers to tear himself away from tending to his younger brother’s haphazard prosthetics, mutters something about hopeless optimism.
But it’s true: Silver’s father cannot be dead. Silver knows this in his heart and soul; his father is too strong, too prepared, too important to die. Even though the last Silver saw of him was him firing off at a swarm of zombies as he yelled at Silver to run, faced down with a seemingly hopeless fate, he knows that his father has to be alive somewhere.
He’s kept his eyes and ears out for any hint of his father’s existence since then, but to no avail. Silver can only sigh as he helps to pack up their supplies as they head off for a location Idia received from his mysterious partner — a man he communicates remotely with through morse code signals, technology utterly jammed in this wretched apocalypse.
Silver hopes that he’ll find something today, any trace at all that his father is alive.
Tumblr media
“My son is not dead!”
Lilia snarls those words whenever someone tries to warn him against clinging to hope. The practice of optimism is a dangerous affair during the volatility of a zombie apocalypse, but though Lilia exercises a cautious pessimism with everything else, this is the only thing he refuses to back down on.
He knows Silver is alive. He has to be. Lilia had told him to run when the zombies broke in and began to swarm the two of them — Better him alive than me, he’d thought back then as he turned back to the screeching mob and began to gun them down. The swarm had been burnt to a crisp before he’d finished, courtesy of those who found him, a group that had saved his life in exchange for his services and supplies.
Lilia knows nobody believes him. Fools, the lot of them! Still, none of them can complain considering how versatile of a survivor Lilia is; he knows that those in his group value his skills, especially given his ability to trade morse code messages with another distant group of survivors, trading little bits of information about safe spots and supplies. Azul is hard pressed to give up such precious details, but Lilia can’t give a single shit about profit when the world’s ended and everyone’s dead or worse.
He finishes off the last bits of a message before he joins the others — Azul grumbling about all they have to leave behind, while the youngsters, a group of five, give the money-minded man the stink eye. Vil chats with Rook about where they shall head next, and Malleus dips his head at Lilia as he joins them.
Lilia hopes that he’ll find something today, any trace at all that his son is alive.
Tumblr media
Silver sees it when they arrive at the safehouse. He finds it when he’s cleaning up, searching around for any supplies they can store: a tiny little container that makes his heart leap from the familiarity of it, the colours and gilded edges catching his eyes in the dust-covered haze of the apocalypse.
And within it—
(His breathing stutters to a stop, heart catching in his throat as a well of hope springs up within his chest, bursting anew.)
A rotting acorn bracelet is nestled inside.

Dancing 'til the break of dawn - Pt1
(TWST zombie apocalypse au for all your crack-fic needs)
Yuu would like to make one thing very clear: he did not start the zombie apocalypse on purpose.
In fact, he would like to argue that it – probably – would have started even without his help! Yeah, so he might have accidentally fed and housed a zombie cat because he had mistaken it for a very unfortunate stray on its last legs, and the zombie cat had bitten his parents, turning them into zombies, which kickstarted the apocalypse… but how did that zombie cat come to be? Hm? Hm?
The apocalypse was inevitable! He swears!
But, uh… he would admit that maybe taking in Grim was not the brightest decision he had ever made.
Or maybe it was an amazing plan. He hadn’t yet been attacked by a zombie. He was pretty sure that the zombies were a hivemind of sorts, and since he was nice to Grim they were all cool with him… or something. Maybe he was just uniquely disgusting to the point where no one wanted to eat him. Which was a weirdly insulting thought to have, so he preferred to believe that Grim was doing him a heck of a solid.
Which had its own problems. Had he accidentally sacrificed the entire human race for the sake of saving his own skin? Because that would be, at least, the tiniest, littlest bit messed up, he thought.
He rubbed his weird zombie cat’s head. Grim was a strange looking thing, with green skin and a face that was visibly on the verge of rotting. However, Grim was still a cat, Yuu was pretty sure, and therefore he deserved all of the love. He opened his arms, smiling when Grim readily hopped into them for the sake of pets. The texture was close to that of a hairless cat, save for a tiny patch of moss on the end of its tail, which looked soft, but Yuu had no intentions of touching it. Not right now, at least. Maybe if this zombie apocalypse survival stuff got too hard he would give in to temptation despite the very high likelihood that it could end in him getting infected.
Maybe tomorrow would be the day, he mused absently. After all, he was running low on supplies. He’d need to leave the safety of this random apartment and find a convenience store or something of that nature sometime soon, otherwise he’d starve to death.
But he didn’t wanna. Do you know how hard it is to find a store that hasn’t already been ransacked? Would you want to have to evade groups of humans who had taken to cannibalism way too quickly? Do you think it’s easy to explain to people that, actually, the zombie cat isn’t parasitic and lying in wait until it can kill you? How good would you be at ignoring the screams of people being eaten by zombies? Like, really, his life was so awful. You would think it was karma or something! He would like to reiterate that he does not deserve this! The zombie apocalypse was not his fault!
He groaned and flopped down in bed with Grim, burying his face in a pillow. It smelled off, slightly dingy, but he wasn’t going to complain. It wasn’t like the old owner had known they were going to have the most uninvited of guests. And he couldn’t file a complaint, anyways, because chances were they were dead already.
He huffed and pressed a kiss to the top of Grim's head.
"Make sure to get a good night's sleep, we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow," he mumbled. He wished he could say it was more to himself than anything, since he was aware that it was very weird to talk to a cat (a zombie version of a cat, no less), but... no. He was talking to Grim.
And Grim, to his credit, purred like he understood and settled down to sleep.
Yuu continued to stay awake for only a few moments more, his eyes remained trained on the ceiling as he pieced through his plan for the next day.
He ended up drifting off out of pure boredom before he had even finished planning his route.
It wouldn't matter anyways, though, surely tomorrow would be just another day.
~
Yuu sighed lightly as he trudged down the street. Zombies were avoiding him, as usual. He liked not being eaten, so this was nice.
The summer heat was not nice, though. He glowered at the orange skies above him as if he could will the sun to leave him alone already. It did not listen to him, which was disappointing, but he would live.
Probably. Hopefully.
He’d have an easier time living if Grim didn’t insist on being carried everywhere like the diva he was, because Yuu had seen him walk a few times, the lying prick, but fine. Whatever. It wasn’t like the ability to use his hands was necessary during an apocalyptic scenario or anything.
He was left to grumble incoherently as he continued on his search for a store that was still stocked enough to bother breaking into.
He found one… far sooner than he’d thought he would.
Suspiciously fast, actually.
He looked at Grim.
“What do you think, buddy?”
Grim blinked his one eye at him lazily.
This was practically a glowing endorsement! No zombies inside!
He deserves this, really.
He looked around for something to break the glass. It wasn’t difficult. He set down Grim despite the cat’s whining so he could pick up an abandoned brick. There was a dark red stain on the corner of it.
Ewwwwwwww. It was sticky.
He threw the brick at the glass door to the convenience store with probably a little bit more force than was entirely necessary. But, in his defense, it was gross to touch.
It wasn’t even worth it in the end! Because, the second he stepped towards the door, winding the cloth of his shirt around his hand so he could widen the hole enough for him to step through without injuring himself, the automatic glass doors slid open.
Yuu blushed. “Good thing no one saw that, right?” he said to Grim.
Grim, who he was beginning to suspect might actually know what he was saying, gave him what one could only describe as a raised eyebrow. Considering the cat only had half a face, making this expression was actually quite the feat. Yuu wasn’t sure how he felt about the effort the zombie put into making sure that he could accurately interpret how unimpressed he was.
He sighed, picked up the zombie again, and stepped inside.
The place looked like… well, just about any place in the apocalypse. Blood stained just about everything, rendering the food labels largely unreadable. The emergency lights still worked, but only barely, flickering more than the lights in a B-list horror movie. What had almost definitely once been a person was slumped in a corner, though it was almost unidentifiable now, its clothes missing and its guts torn out.
Yuu set down Grim so the zombie could go and have a snack.
Grim didn’t leave his side, instead he stayed close to his heels.
This, really, should have tipped him off that something was wrong. Grim never turned down the opportunity to eat.
Yuu, though, was too busy rubbing his thumb on a canned food label, trying to figure out what aisle he was currently in, to notice.
No, it wasn’t until Grim started growling lowly that he looked up.
A boy with a shock of messy red hair and clothes that were painted with way too much blood for it to only have been his own had been trying to sneak up on him. He had a knife out, and Yuu didn’t think that there was anything that needed cutting anywhere nearby.
Yuu shrieked and threw the can of beans at him. The redhead stumbled backwards, cradling his head, mumbling curses under his breath.
And then his expression twisted into a scowl. His grip tightened on his knife.
He took a step forward.
Grim hissed, baring fangs.
The redhead only spared a halfhearted glance down at the cat before turning his attention back to Yuu, who was scrambling for another can to throw.
And then the redhead did a double take.
He screamed and backed up a few steps, only barely stopping himself from dropping his knife in his surprise. “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUR CAT?!”
Yuu hesitated for just a moment too long. “Uhhhhh nothing is wrong with him.”
“THEY'RE GREEN?!”
“And you’re white but I wasn’t going to say anything about that,” Yuu sniffed, crossing his arms over his chest.
The boy spluttered. “First of all. I’m Japanese. Everyone here is Japanese. We’re in fucking Japan. Second. Of. All. Humans can be white! Cats can’t be green!”
“Explain Grim then,” Yuu argued.
There was no response. The boy was too stunned to speak. Because he had realized that Yuu’s logic checked out perfectly, no doubt.
Slowly, the redhead ran a hand through his hair. He pulled on a few strands, hard, seemingly trying to make sure he wasn’t asleep, or in some weird fever dream, or that he hadn’t been bitten and was now going insane… he didn’t seem to be all that glad to realize that everything in front of him was actually very real.
He sunk a little in defeat, leaning against a nearby shelf and eyeing Yuu warily, but at least he was no longer openly hostile. “What is wrong with you?” he asked, somewhere between exasperated and genuinely curious.
Yuu frowned. He was not sure he liked this line of conversation more than discussing Grim. Grim was green, after all! Out of the two, surely Grim should be getting all of the attention.
But he was pretty sure that saying that out loud might be considered ‘hypocrisy’, and despite the fact that this guy had definitely tried to kill him, he didn’t want to seem like a hypocrite in front of him!
Wait a second.
“I’m the weird one?! You were trying to kill me!”
Grim didn’t look particularly happy upon being reminded of this fact.
The boy didn’t seem happy that Grim wasn’t happy, because he immediately paled and rushed to say that, “No, I wasn’t!”
Yuu looked at the knife in his hand.
He cleared his throat and dropped it. He tried for an innocent smile, as if that would somehow make Yuu forget what he had literally just watched happen. “You know, I think we got off on the wrong foot.”
“Because you tried to stab me,” Yuu said flatly.
He stuck his hand out. “C’monnnn, what’s a little stabbing between new friends?”
Now, Yuu should absolutely not take that hand. Someone that had almost stabbed him once would almost certainly attempt another stabbing in the future.
But he had started talking to a cat, as of late. A zombie cat that you could argue (to much success) that he had made the much worse decision to befriend in the first place. And that had turned out fine. For him, at least.
So, he jumped at the opportunity for a new friend. He grabbed his hand in both of his own, shaking it with what was almost definitely way too much enthusiasm.
“I’m Yuu.”
“Ace…” the redhead said. He tried to pull his hand away, but Yuu was half convinced that he would turn tail and run if he did that, so he held strong. Ace looked mildly bewildered by the entire situation. He looked at the zombie cat at Yuu’s feet for a few moments. The cat did not seem all that pleased by this newfound friendship – the way he eyed the pair’s interlocked hands spoke volumes. “I don’t think that they like me.”
“He doesn’t like anyone,” Yuu said, shrugging.
Ace hesitated, briefly. His eyes flicked over Grim a few more times.
Realization sparkled in his eyes as he realized what, exactly, Grim was.
He looked at Yuu again, something appraising in his gaze. Something wary.
Without looking away from Yuu, he reached his free hand into his pocket. He pulled out a scrap of mystery meat and dropped it on the floor for Grim.
Grim sniffed it, once, before eating it.
Ace breathed a sigh of relief when the cat gave him what was unmistakably a nod of approval.
(And then visibly had a crisis over the fact that he was, apparently, looking to a cat for approval.)

RAMSHACKLE STUDENTS + ??? Yuu & Grim: emotional support and flame throwing gathering cat. Yuu spends most of his time making sure no ones having any panic attacks or similar things and if they do, he helps them stop it or get through it. Grim also helps him however he also goes on supply runs with Ace and Deuce Dest: traumatised. she hasn't turned into a more human form since the infection started, only staying in her dragon form or a more draconic humanoid form under the belief that she can protect people better in those forms then in her 'weak' human one. doesn't sleep and keeps on a happy look for Yuu and R.C who she grew very attached too Ryuco: infected. he became infected from fighting a group of infected who tried to infect/kill and injured Dest, only to become infected himself. is in a similar stage as Jamil and Sebek however instead of getting any mutations, he turned into his Dragon form, hoping to try and fight the infection, said form somewhat merging with the blot. Dest has hope they can help him because he seems to recognise her and Yuu and because he's less aggressive the other infected R.C and Gremlin: R.C goes on supply runs and patrols while Gremlin and the rest of the racoons have become emotional support animals. R.C has already experienced mind control and war so she doesn't want anyone going through something even remotely similar. this is too similar to her. it might not be a planet invasion with monsters with different powers according to their subspecies but an infected island with animalistic creatures wanting to spread/infect more/kill? almost just as bad Shiloh: he is infact the one who had been making the ice 'caskets' with the coma like affect. an octavinelle student with many secrets yet to reveal. he's a Kelpie, and often helps with supply runs, even offering to pull wagons if there are any or for survivors to get on him to make a quick escape (will be writing info page later) part one part two (part three)

HI I JUST SAW YOUR HORROR TWST AU AND I WAS LIKE
Omg how come I've never seen this?
SO NOW IM PATIENTLY WAITING IN MY SEAT FOR YOUR NEXT UPDATE
But quick question:
What kind of apocalypse is the au based off? Cause I just finished watching some uncanny valley videos and I thought that maybe the students turn Into horrifying mutated monsters
and also, will any of our home boys get infected?
Ok, wow. That was quick, firstly I'm still thinking of where the plot of the story may go. A person commented on the Jack post I made saying how this reminded them of the MLP infection aus, and I'm just gonna say it straight up....it's inspired by it.
I just wanted to make one of those but for Twst, 'Overblot Abnormalis' is the name of the Au and infection.
I still working on the story \ plot of this lil project but I can confirm some things
This is going to be dark, I want this to be scary not in a disgusting gross gore blood way but something that will stick with you and have meaning behind it way. So I will delve into dark subject matters, and do some research on them so it won't come off as offensive or gross.
The characters won't act like their game counterpart, I can't promise they'll be accurate (I mean I don't know how they'll react to a student being mawled to death.), but I'll try to work with what I got.
There is gonna be angst. Lots of it, I'm not letting these boys rest.
There will be some ships involved, it won't be outright but implied.
Where will I take this au?
I have two options,
option 1: Just make it a semi fanfic with drawings
Option 2: if this gets enough traction and attention I'll let you guys decide on how the story progress with the polls. Like a game of some sort.
Please keep in mind
I'm busy with school and home life, there will be times I post and times I won't have the motivation to even draw. So hiatus will be inevitable, I'm not the best artist and I'm doing this project for fun. Thank you for understanding.

ive had concepts for this in my draft for a while but i finished some of it and i can finally post the sketches i made of grim and yuu
yes i know yuu looks like wednesday, i didn't realize until i'd actually watched it alsjhdg
Tumblr media
basically i think people don't draw enough connections between the overblotting in twisted wonderland and the blot in epic mickey, the main villain's name is literally just blot, so i made an au inspired off the way blot seems to infect and spreads to the entirety of wasteland as opposed to just the characters like in twst
more details & text under the cut bc i know what i wrote by the sketches is probably unreadable <3
Overblot Apocalypse AU
In which overblotting is contagious and Twisted Wonderland suffers an outbreak prior to Yuu's arrival, leading to the mirror to summon someone from a magicless world in hopes of finding someone immune to blot. Yuu just happens to be the unlucky one that was chosen at random.
The magic mirror has been destroyed in the chaos that overtook the outbreak during its early stages, it's nothing but shards now with very little magic. It used what it had left to summon Yuu in hopes of ending the outbreak. It was never something that would be confirmed to help, more of a "hope for a miracle" kind of risk, as the mirror didn't know if whoever they brought would truly be immune.
Now, the magic mirror is wrapped in cloth and kept in Yuu's pocket. It essentially acts as a sort of sentient smartphone, communicating with Yuu regularly and helping them survive this new world such as explaining foods, environments, etc.
There is nothing special or particularly noteworthy about Yuu. They remain magicless with no special abilites. They weren't chosen for a higher reason or to fulfill some kind of ancient prophecy, they're just a kid that got the short end of the stick and got isekai'd to Twisted Wonderland because the magic mirror got desperate.
Overblot spreads by connecting to others via negative emotions and magic fatique. The main emotion witnessed is fear but those like Riddle and Leona were infected through their anger.
Grim managed to evade overblotting because at this point in time he does not have a magestone that helps him concentrate magic so he doesn't use it often enough to get infected and his catlike tendencies make him nimble and hard for any blot to reach him. However, he still has had run ins with those that have overblotted, such as Riddle, who ended up taking part of his tail when he attacked Grim.
NRC is easily the most dangerous area in Twisted Wonderland simply because of the sheer amount of overblots roaming its grounds. Which kind of sucks, because that's where Yuu is originally summoned. They steal a bunch of stuff like a baseball bat and hightail it out as soon as they can.
Same as canon, Yuu is able to end someone's overblot if they can wear them down enough. They're typically the only one that gets close to actually hit someone because they're the only one safe from infection, this often results in scars, but Grim and other allies such as Ace and Deuce definitely heavy hit with magic from a distance.
i have a lot more for this in my drafts such as details on the housewardens and other characters but i'm still working on finalizing those akjsdv
