shuichi-saiharass:

self indulgent v3 twewy au

what is twewy?

  • the world ends with you. a video game focused about interacting with people. it’s about the Reaper’s Game, a gamer where people are forced to give up their most valued thing to participate and survive 7 days. to win, all a person must do is pair up with someone and complete a set of missions given each day by The Reapers. if they fail, they will be erased from existence by monsters called Noise. there’s a lot more to this but anymore explaining would be spoilers. it should be enough even if you haven’t played!

entry fee

shuichi: his hat

shuichi being confused and very embarrassed over the fact that his entry fee was something as stupid and insignificant as his Hat. but it makes him realize, has he Really been avoiding people his whole life? was he THAT afraid of judgement that he couldn’t even spare a glance? losing his hat will push him to interacting with others and opening his world. using the player pin, shuichi will have to come to terms with the world around him and will be forced to look deep into others without retreating into himself.

kaede: her cellphone

what does kaede akamatsu value over anything else? other people. she never once looks inward and often acts recklessly trying to sate others, often resulting in worse situations for herself. by taking her cellphone, the reapers plan to have kaede focus less on others and more on herself. kaede can build a strong small social circle and finally allow Other people into her world. this would also mean she’d have to learn to trust her partner to follow through on the mission mail as she would not be able to check it herself. by scanning the world around her, she can finally come to terms with her own faults and grow past them.

kaito: his player pin

kaito is confused about his own entry fee. it doesn’t make ANY sense to him why the reapers would take his player pin of all things! but the truth kaito momota, luminary of the stars, values only two things: his dreams of the future and the approval of others. the reapers took the liberty of stealing his player pin so that kaito would be forced to rely on the help of his partner. this means that kaito would not be able to scan people around him, to hunt down noise, and is susceptible to scans himself. no scanning ability means he can’t focus on other people’s problems and will be forced to retreat into his Own problems (he already spends enough time solving other people’s problems and being their hero). the scans means he also cant hunt noise and progress/grow from battles without the permission of his partner and kaito will have to learn to be equals with whoever is with him. and without the pin, his partner will be Able to scan him and see whatever is on kaito’s mind at Any point in time. kaito can no longer hide his insecurities from the people closest to him. he will have to learn to trust his partner in order to win the game and get back to chasing his dream of chasing the stars.

kokichi: his voice

kokichi ouma is and always will be alone, at least, that’s what he assumes. kokichi’s most valued thing is actions above words and purposely misleading the people around him foolish enough to believe them. his intentions have always been a mystery, his identity varies by the moment, he has no one he can rely on and has no one to rely on him in turn. so how does a liar make it through the reaper’s game? simple. his voice was stolen. kokichi must now Purely communicate through text messages and gestures. his actions will be examined more than anything and it’s time for kokichi to reevaluate how he acts if he continues to lead others astray. it’ll be hard for him to cooperate with his partner and even harder to understand the person underneath, but he seems completely confident in his chances of surviving. now the question is, just Who Is ouma kokichi?

maki: her memories

maki’s entire history shaped her into the closed off individual she is today. the reapers want her to finally move past her boundaries and learn to trust others. by opening up to others, she can learn to even love and express herself. all she needed was to forget her past as an assassin for the time being. the guilt should not have defined her. the reapers want her to get a second chance but only if she can work for it by expanding her small world.

tenko: Himiko Yumeno

in a cruel twist of fate, tenko is currently in her second week. this time, she’s playing for himiko yumeno, her partner from the last week. tenko spent all of her time trying to get himiko to open up with her emotions and by the seventh day, she had succeeded! however, by completely focusing her efforts on himiko, tenko neglected to make any strides on bettering Herself and did not win enough points to pass on, so the reapers subjected her to one more game. she CANT afford to lose now!!

partners

shuichi and kaede : shuichi must learn to face others and kaede must learn to face herself. both can learn and grow from each other.

kaito and kokichi : kaito pacts with the first person he sees and instantly regrets it. both are too distrustful of others for their own good and both wrap themselves in lies. however, kaito Needs information from kokichi to survive and kokichi needs a verbal partner to make it through the game. the two seem to be the most likely candidates of being noise food. can they make it through the week unharmed?

maki and tenko : tenko grabbed the first female close to her. though maki despises her partner’s bubbly energy, both need each other to survive and both must learn how to open about their weaknesses and the value in connections in order to win. maki feels like she’s dragged around by tenko and often rejects her. tenko just wishes her partner would work with her more, she has too much on the line to give up!

Yo-Kai Watch: Bear AU

nessandaus:

  • Bear finds the crank-a-kai and releases Whisper.
  • Bear is far more chill than Nate about befriending yokai. Unlike Nate, Bear’s style is based more on sharing food with yokai rather than battling.
  • Instead of Jibanyan, Bear’s main “friend” is Blazion. 
    • Bear still befriends Jibanyan, Jibanyan just lives more downstairs with Bear’s mom, and is less likely to be called.
  • Bear tells his parents. While they don’t fully believe him, they are supportive (especially since weird things keep happening around their house).
  • Bear easily makes friends with lower rank yokai through empathy and kindness. 
  • Along with Whisper and Blazion, Bear is often seen with Tattletell, carrying her on his shoulder and helping her with her shopping.
  • Blazion is constantly found exercising on the roof outside Bear’s room. 
  • Bear!! Starts trying harder in school, partially thanks to Blazion’s influence, and partially so he has more time to spend with his human and yokai friends.

Yo-Kai Watch: Eddie AU

nessandaus:

  • Eddie finds the crank-a-kai
  • Eddie doesn’t believe Whisper for a good few weeks, thinking he’s having hallucinations.
  • Eddie befriends Jibanyan, but is more likely to call on Robonyan.
  • Eddie likes studying Robonyan’s tech.
  • Eddie keeps detailed notes about all the yokai he meets: Favorite foods, weather, colors
  • After several failed attempts by Whisper to help, Eddie takes and upgrades Whisper’s Yo-Kai Pad so it’s easier to use. 
  • Eddie befriends Mr. Goodsight, and on his free days when his friends are doing homework, he stops in and learns watch making and repair. 
  • When summoning yokai to help, Eddie tends to lean towards the more academic yokai, like Nird. 
  • Since his parents are both often working and he’s lonely when his friends are busy with chores, schoolwork, or being grounded; Eddie tends to form much more talkative friendships with his yokai.
    • As a result, Eddie tends to ignore his friendships with non-verbal yokai like Tattletell. 
  • More likely to be sad than the main story or Bear AU. 
  • Eddie tries a few times to use yokai to make his parents stay home more, but it ends up causing more conflict.

rustybirdcage:

I was talking with @mayadile about Elder Kettle signing up the boys for boy scouts so they can learn to behave better and become model citizens as younger kids. It clearly didn’t work. King Dice is a scoutmaster for some community service or something he has to do, just cause you work for The Devil doesn’t mean you’ll always get a free pass. Sally, her Husband, and Connie are also scoutmasters. Cuphead hates being here and Mugman kinda does too but he’s trying his best to learn some stuff at least. Cammie only joined girl scouts to eat cookies and play with the knife they give them, it’s the only sorta dangerous thing her papa will let her do!  

finnrakh-tybay:

I’m more inclined to think there’s a very tiny fine print, smudged by coffee stains and a cigarette burn, that allows Mugman to fuck off back to the surface. Cuphead shouldn’t be jaywalking in Hell in the first place, so there’s that.

But then again, I haven’t thought about the clauses and intricacies of the contract at all.
