Amity Park Is Probably The Only City You’ll Ever Find Where Haunted Houses Are A Requirement For Many

Another avenue I want to explore in an Amity Park is Weird scenario is all the niche sub-cultures going on.

There is absolutely NO WAY there isn't a thriving goth community in Amity Park. They're holding picnics every full moon. They're holding crafting sessions in their friends' basements. They're adopting ghost animals left and right: eight-legged dogs and blob-cats, skeletal fish and neon bearded dragons.

There's a young man called Raphael who performs live music every week at a dance club with his band: he's got a myriad of shiny piercings, and a phone camera roll full of his rabbits, Morningstar and Salem. Perhaps those ghosts are bad business like the Fentons say, but the club's never felt more alive.

The scene and emo kids are multiplying at a rapid rate. The punks and grunge folks are doing shit with textiles that makes every quilting grandmother in a five mile radius swoop in to pass on their skills. Josie and Betty, old friends who periodically upload photos online of their handmade lace, suddenly gain an influx of young folks who want to learn how to make their own ghoulish patterns.

There's a new group peeling off from the goths that dress like the embodiment of Halloween– all bones, pumpkin orange and lengths of costume jewelry.

The historical costuming community is alive and well in these times, and they fall upon the few ghosts from times past willing to share knowledge like starving wolves. Their minds are full of patterning-math and fabric prices, and their excitement is, quite literally, infectious.

A revolution starts up in food service: a great many restaurants closed or moved to follow the many people who left Amity after the ghosts first came. A pair of brothers open a restaurant that has the best Polish food around: people politely don't comment on how the owners are dressed in clothes a century out of date or how their eyes gleam. Two cat cafes open, one space themed and another with loose definitions of what counts as a "cat." Assorted coffee and tea shops dot the landscape: some serve donuts, some have cupcakes, and others have breakfast wraps, sandwiches or savory hand pies.

People that can't afford to open a restaurant sell food out of their homes, advertised by cardboard signs with phrases like CAKES FOR $10, and BARBEQUE RIBS FOR SALE painted on them in gigantic bright letters. High school students bring in bags of cookies they made the night before and completely sell out of stock before the day is done. One woman's house has no signage and yet is known by word of mouth to be a herbalist, selling tins of homemade tea blends, flowers, assorted plant clippings, and cough drops.

Someone down the street of Casper High sells small batches of eco-friendly soap at a nearby corner store.

During summer time, lemonade stands are everywhere. Some of the lemonade is made with the strange fruits from one of the parks: no one dies, so it's fine.

The Farmer's Market has gotten... intense.

You can scroll on your phone all day (not that you should) and still shift/enter the void.

You can have a bad day or a lazy day and still shift/enter the void.

There are no set rules. You do not need to have the best day in the world, a clean room and your life together to shift or enter the void.

Everything you need is within you.

I think it would be fun to go online shopping for your DR. Don't actually spend the money, but visualize that you are shopping in your dr!

This is especially good if you script you have unlimited money!! 😀

Canon Yuu

~~~

I saw a post about Yuu and canon facts about them so I went through all the character voice lines and picked out all the other facts I could find. Some will be a repeat of what’s mentioned in the original post, which you’ll find here. I may update it as the game and manga progress. Some voice lines aren’t translated or in the official wiki yet so I rely on other sources for those.

I hyper fixated HARD on this.

Last Update: 3.17.2024 | recently added info will be bolded

Yuusona Bingo

You have no idea how happy you’re all making me <3333

~~~

Yuu likes initiating physical contact. They’ve poked at Riddle and Leona’s tsum a lot. They’ve also poked at Leona, Ortho, Kalim (tickling him in the process), Jack’s sides, Deuce (twice), Floyd, and Epel. Yuu tugged on Riddle’s sleeve during a lab class, Leona while camping, Kalim’s ceremonial robes headdress, Trey’s Halloween veil, Sebek’s sleeve (much to his dismay), and Vil. They’ve pulled at Jack’s ceremonial robes and Ace’s arm. Vil teases Yuu in a voice line saying that he can’t fault their overwhelming desire to touch him given his alluring beauty. They touch Malleus and he teases that if they continue to do so, Sebek would throw a fit. Malleus welcomes Yuu to touch his horns. Yuu also touches him without shrinking in fear. They wanted to touch/hold Jamil’s gala couture corsage, he also asks if touching is customary where Yuu is from. Yuu has almost touched Ortho’s heat exhaust and even managed to tickle him. Yuu kept clinging to Lilia during lab class in hopes he’d tutor them. Floyd called Yuu a barnacle which may suggest they kept clinging to him. They kept touching Jack’s Halloween costume which made him worry the shells would fall off. They pet Cater’s tsum WHILE looking at him, which gave Cater mixed signals. Deuce complained once how they were getting handsy with him. They’ve tickled Floyd—who promised to get them back. They played with Floyd’s tsum. They straightened Epel’s ribbon (Ghost Bride) without warning, Silver’s horned hat during Halloween, and kept flipping open Riddle’s jacket in his Suitor Suit. They scratched under Grim’s chin without asking.

Yuu attends every character’ birthday celebration and always seems to have a good time.

Yuu has a knack for dancing.

Yuu has the habit of staring at other people, just about every character calls them out on it.

Yuu had difficulty with basic lab textbook questions, which may be expected since they’re not from Twisted Wonderland.

Yuu wears makeup, at least to ceremonies.

Yuu thinks the amount of traditional events NRC has is unusual.

Yuu asks for help with studying and homework from their friends—at least the better educated ones.

Yuu appears to be someone who gets anxious at ceremonies. Trey had to tell them to stand still and stay quiet, implying they get fidgety and restless. Ruggie teased Yuu about how they squirmed in preparation for a ceremony. He was also rushed by Yuu who feared they wouldn’t make it to the ceremony in time. Jamil had to guide Yuu in taking deep breaths when they were anxious, he also points out they were fidgety.

Many characters have commented on Yuu’s diligence.

Based on dialogue, Yuu is quick to pass snarky/sarcastic responses.

Yuu seemed to adapt to Twisted Wonderland fairly quickly. When they saw Jack for the first time, they can make a comment about how he has dog ears and a tail in a seemingly (distant?) tone. They never pointed out or questioned Malleus’ horns. Reminder they freaked out when they first saw Grim, before any other character, so they’ve grown accustomed to the strangeness of NRC.

Yuu was once able to play with Leona’s tail. Yuu grabbed Ruggie’s tail during his birthday. They grabbed Jack’s tail, too. They tried to grab Malleus’ tail during Halloween but he wouldn't let them in fear it would send Yuu flying.

There’s a good chance Yuu tends to fall asleep in class. Jack promises to wake them up if they do, commenting that he can’t focus when someone is dozing off next to him. Trey reminds them that he won’t wake them up if they fall asleep. Ace caught Yuu dozing off once.

Yuu isn’t very good at keeping their attire in place. It’s pointed out by a handful of characters, and even in the main story. The hood of their robe was once inside out during a ceremony. The collar of their PE uniform was all wonky. Vil has even said the uniform is a bit too big and makes them look sloppy— and that their labwear was wrinkled. Trey says it looks like the school uniform is wearing them.

Yuu doesn’t really know how to behave/carry themselves in formal situations.

Yuu can either be really perceptive or really oblivious. In a voice line for Riddle’s Suitor Suit, Yuu noticed something different about him but couldn’t figure out what it was until he outwardly said he styled his hair back. But then in a voice line for Ace’s Bloom Birthday, they noticed that he angled the hat differently. (Like seriously, what is with that???)

Yuu had an awful bed-head while camping.

Yuu seemed excited about the Beanfest event. Jack says that they’re “pretty gung-ho” about it. Apparently there’s a tale similar to Beanfest where Yuu hails from. Yuu wanted to team with Azul during the event. Jamil said they were very into it. Vil complimented Yuu’s skills during Beanfest but was quick to shut down their excitement. He also comments that Yuu is surprisingly good at the event. Yuu was confronted by Rook and feigned surrender. Based on other voice lines, it seems Rook hunted Yuu at some point.

It can be interpreted that the freshmen get together at Ramshackle.

In Bloom Birthday voice lines, Yuu got many characters to show them their magic.

Yuu is serious about helping Grim become a great sorcerer.

Yuu is easy to scare, many characters got the drop on them during Halloween. You didn’t seem to get them back with much success.

A few characters comment how/if Yuu has grown used to living in Twisted Wonderland.

Not necessarily a Yuu fact, but Ramshackle gets lots of snow during the winter.

Yuu can come off as a boisterous person at times.

Yuu is not fazed by Riddle’s temper/behavior.

Yuu enjoyed the food Riddle made during the Culinary Crucible and that he might make more for them.

Yuu was energetic at Riddle’s birthday, though his precise wording was “energetic as ever”, implying Yuu is often excitable.

Yuu hid a present for Riddle somewhere in Heartslabyul and in order to find it, he had to solve the answer to a riddle.

Ace regularly invites Yuu to his basketball games.

Yuu commented on Ace’s basketball skills saying that his handling of the ball is slick.

Cater gave Yuu a ticket to the Pop Music Club’s show.

Yuu is apparently homesick, something they confide in Cater with at least twice.

During their visit to the Scalding Sands, Yuu got worn out by the crowds. Cater took them aside to sit and rest.

Cater doesn’t know what’s going through Yuu’s head.

Based on a few voice lines, Yuu is very familiar with Cater. To a point where he reminds them that he is an upperclassman that deserves respect.

For his Bloom Birthday, Deuce got a coupon to use during his birthday month and invited Yuu to use it with him—but to not tell any of the others because it was only meant for two.

Yuu asked Deuce to see his awards from track meets. Deuce was very eager to show them.

Like with Ace, Yuu cheers Deuce in at his tracks meets.

In a Glorious Masquerade line, Deuce asks Yuu to dance.

In a New Year’s line, Deuce says he set aside an item that Yuu wanted.

Ace, Deuce, and Cater are both disappointed to an extent that Yuu isn’t in Heartslabyul.

During his Bloom Birthday, Yuu made Trey a tart. It was either strawberry or chocolate or maybe both!

Yuu told Trey that science was difficult to them, so he decided to show them it could be fun.

In some of his ceremonial robe lines, Leona suggests he and Yuu ditch.

Yuu gave Leona candy during Halloween hoping it might make him happier.

Yuu is relaxed around Leona.

Yuu was very meticulous in slicing a piece of cake for Leona at his own birthday.

Yuu tried to sneak up on Leona to surprise him on his birthday, but he noticed them before they could jump out.

Yuu liked Leona’s gala couture.

Because Grim ate their food during the camp event, they went to Ruggie for spare food.

Ruggie comments on how the other campers can’t pitch a tent or start a fire, this may or may not have included Yuu.

Ruggie has comments that Yuu is a good sense of rhythm.

Ruggie extended an invitation/suggested Yuu to join the Spelldrive Club. He said that even if they’re magicless, there are many tasks a manager can do.

Azul has said Yuu has a tender disposition.

According to Azul, Yuu seems to have a good time during flight class.

Azul doesn’t believe them to have a good singing voice.

Yuu complimented the round framed glasses Azul wore during the Glorious Masquerade event.

Yuu shared some pastries with Azul in Fleur City.

Yuu thought Azul looked good in his masquerade and union birthday outfits.

Jade has teased Yuu, calling them a mischief-maker.

Jade said that Yuu is a curious one and comments on how they somehow always manage to be at the center of everything.

Jade and Yuu took a selfie together during Beanfest.

Yuu wished to climb Mount Molm during the Harveston event, but Jade told them to start with a smaller climb—saying snowy mountains were dangerous.

Yuu isn’t good at plating food. Floyd finds this very funny.

Yuu told Kalim during culinary crucible that they liked his food. But since Kalim’s meals tend to come out a little… crisp and messy, they may just be saying it so as to not hurt his feelings.

Jamil thinks(?) Yuu has an acute sense of smell as they were able to find him preparing a light snack for Kalim.

Yuu thought Jamil was being insincere when he thanked them for celebrating his birthday.

Yuu got a bunch of sauce on their face in the Scalding Sands, something Jamil subtly teased them for.

Yuu sees Jamil as a voice of reason in almost every situation.

Yuu complimented Jamil on his fairy couture which made him feel a little better.

A voice line from Jamil mentions Yuu wears a uniform to school and that it’s “nice in its own right”. This could mean that Yuu’s school uniform is old/a hand-me-down and isn’t necessarily like everyone else’s.

Yuu thinks Rook is a bit odd.

Yuu confided in Rook saying they get embarrassed when they’re sweaty.

Yuu wanted to ride on a horse with Epel during the Ghost Bride event.

Yuu got giddy when it began to snow, a detail Idia pointed out during the Harveston event.

According to Idia, Yuu is a friend to introverts and someone he can count on.

Yuu wanted to wear Idia’s suitor suit attire.

Malleus says Yuu always seems to attract a crowd, but that’s a given since they’re the main character.

In a Glorious Masquerade voice line, Malleus says something along the lines of escorting Yuu for the night and to rely on him to lead their dance.

When Malleus suspects that Fleur City will look different at night, Yuu’s eyes lit up with interest and curiosity.

Yuu found many amusing sights in Fleur City. Malleus says this before commenting “It seems wherever I may go with you, there is never a dull moments to be found.”

Malleus comments that Yuu’s dancing prowess has greatly improved during the Glorious Masquerade.

When Malleus says a plate in the Scalding Sands possesses a recently made design, Yuu tells him that it’s an antique. Either Yuu has studied Scalding Sands history before visiting or the antiques of Twisted Wonderland are similar to those in Yuu’s world.

Malleus once said, maybe sometime in Book Three, that Yuu was not as innocent as their doe-eyes would suggest.

Yuu once wanted to see Malleus dressed in his ceremonial robes, so he wore it just for them.

A line suggests that Yuu lingered around and focused on Malleus during his birthday party.

As thanks for participating in his birthday party, Malleus invited Yuu to visit about ten ruins.

Yuu wanted to hear an earnest proposal from Lilia during the Ghost Bride event.

There’s a very real possibility Lilia gave Yuu a piggyback ride during Halloween.

When Sebek chastised Grim’s gluttonous behavior, Yuu seemingly gave him a dirty look.

Sebek made too much food for himself during Camp Vargas and Yuu was staring at it with a “greedy gleam” in their eyes.

Also during the Camp Vargas event; Yuu would cover their ears when Sebek did roll call.

Yuu MAY have beaten Sebek at party games during his birthday.

Yuu had difficulty handling Harveston sleds, leading Sebek to brag about how he could do so with ease.

Silver has said Yuu worries too much about those around them.

Silver thinks Yuu has some talent with a sword.

Judging by a voice line from Professor Crewel, Yuu isn't that good academically and may be close to failing his class. He also says they and Grim are his biggest troublemakers.

On the contrary, Professor Trein says during the Glorious Masquerade that he doesn’t worry about Yuu and Grim. (I theorize the following: Crewel’s classes are based in magic, a feat Yuu doesn’t have. Therefore they’re likely to sit on the side as Grim does the lessons assigned. But knowing Grim, he causes trouble in class. Since Yuu and Grim count as one student, Crewel assumes that they’re both rowdy. Meanwhile, Yuu is able to participate in Trein’s classes, which are more traditional with studying and tests. Yuu is in tune with this method and can therefore excel, while Grim can’t as he wasn’t raised alongside humans. Crewel gets the wild half and Trein gets the responsible half.)

Yuu has the option to buy woven bands during the Glorious Masquerade event.

Headcanon:

Ghost money is a massive running joke among ghosts, since ghosts pay for things through either trading or favours.

Getting someone to work for ghost money is a common prank played on recently formed ghosts that are new to the zone and don’t know how things work yet.

It’s not just useless in the human world, it’s useless in the ghost zone too.

how to make shifting process more entertaining & not loose motivation

make dr playlists: this is genuinely so much fun. it helps a lot with setting the mood & you could listen to it when unmotivated.

spice up your affirmations: for example, instead of saying basic affs ("i am in my dr") you could be more deilusional & rant like if you were actually there, or highlight things about your dr to motivate you. e.g: "i am in my harry potter dr and omg why did i thought this was a good idea my butt is BURNING from all the walking... hogwarts is TOO fkn big, yesterday fred almost casually blew up a hallway n i had to run for my life. this is a call 4 help..." (directly copied and pasted from my friend's notion ☝️☝️). you can even create stories and use them as affirmations

create a shifting journal: TOP TIER TIPS. there you can write entries as if you were in your dr - not only it helps with visualizing and manifesting but also you can write down everytime you try, things you liked and disliked & symptoms you had to help you understand what works for you

pinterest wardrobe boards: self explanatory. this can also be made with your dr aesthetic in general

change methods weekly/monthly & try fun methods: in my opinion, the most fun methods are the lucid dream method, adhd method, and void state method, but that's up to you

bonus: try to shift during full moon. not because it increases your posibilities to shift (it does NOT, the moon phase has nothing to do with shifting unless you assume it does ofc) but because it's super cool as a concept, like "today's full moon so i can go to a paralel reality"?? IDK it just gives main character energy. i love shifting when it's full moon

if you know other methods or tips, reblog/leave a comment 🫶🏾

diasomnia's "ARBITRARY NATURAL DISASTER" vocals only!! okay first of all, this is just as clean as savanaclaw's diadem, second it's like i didn't even remove the background music because tf you mean it's a whole acapella???? they're so good when you got literal LEGENDS singing (KAZUKI KATO I BEG YOUR FINEST PARDON WITH THOSE VOCALS) and you can hear them much better this time!! IT REALLY FEELS LIKE A MUSICAL HNNNNNNNNNNGH

white fangirl: *sees a black woman being respected and admired by a nonblack male character*

white fangirl: what is this hEtErOsExUaL bullshit!!!! god i hate forced romances!!!!!! 🙄🙄🙄🙄anyways take my 87382th white slash mlm ship instead! 👨‍❤️‍👨👌🏻🙌🏻😍

once you realise that fandoms are shaped by white fans and a lot of these fans hold very conservative and reactionary views when it comes to their personal relationship to things all the while professing they’re the fourth wave of feminism or whatever, you stop caring about what any of these people think and you find peace
