I Almost Forgot About This. Should Probably Explain This At Some Point.

Finished :)

I made this sketch of Twisted Looey for my art class because he is my fav. We were told to try and replicate the art style of different artists, and I'm trying to be a bit creative with mine. Maybe I'll post the finished piece when I'm done. Who knows?

Violet'spots' True Form

So I hope you all enjoy the new lore of my silly, autistic cat/cat girl sona being a dimension hoping eldritch beast who just kind of hangs out in different universes just to chill.

Happy Halloween!

Prologue: Rebirth of the Killing School Life (Part 1)

♪ OST: Beautiful Days ♪

So, here I am. The pinnacle of human achievement.

Hopes Peak Academy.

One of the most well-known school's in the world. Only the best of the world's most talented youth's, also known as Ultimate's, could get in with the purpose of fostering their talent's and raising them as the world's next hope's. Getting in was like winning the lottery of life. Any normal person would do anything to get in with the promise of succeeding in their future.

Those who do wish to enroll had to fall under two requirement's:

“One must be currently enrolled in high school” and “One must excel at their field of expertise” Meaning no ordinary student can attend, unless under certain circumstance's like a lottery or something.

I happened to be one of the many who fell under both requirement's.

???: Before we continue further, I should introduce myself. My name is Daisuke Yoshida, and I am the Ultimate Class Representative.

Class Representative, aka a glorified babysitter for a bunch of people my age. I'm joking of course, but it honestly feels like it sometimes. I admit, I was kind of the "teachers favorite" of my class; good grades, never misbehaved, helped out wherever I could. It was no wonder I was chosen to be my classes rep, especially since no one else volunteered. I can't complain; keeping idiots in check and handling issues in the class was basically what I did already.

So, imagine my surprise when I found an acceptance letter on my desk when I came home one day. Yep, I had been accepted into Hope's Peak, my hard work fully recognized.

My uncle had been more excited then I was; he said this was my chance to finally go out and be a normal teenager for once. Sure, I guess being a normal teenager and going to a school full of overachieving twats is definitely a perfect mix. Doesn't matter, the perks sound nice enough.

Standing in front of the gate's of this school felt...overwhelming. My face didn't show it, but the nagging feeling of change was starting to get to me. With all the praise the school gets, there's apparently a lot of dark history behind it. Word of death, human experimentation, and teenagers falling into insanity would pop up whenever the schools dark history would come up in conversation. I never really looked to deep into these "rumors", but looking back on it now...I really should've trusted my gut more.

While walking closer to the entrance door's, my head started feeling like it was spinning. My vision grew blurrier and darker the closer I got.

When my hand touched the door, everything suddenly went black.

......

???: Hey...

Who....is that...? My head still hurt's.

Slowly coming back into conscience, I saw a dark skinned boy leaning over me, his silhouette almost comically dramatic against the lights above him.

???: Oh, phew, your finally awake. Thank god, we honestly thought you were dead!

Daisuke: W...wha..?

???: Hey Omega, he's awake!

Just as I've managed to get my bearing's, sort of, I spotted something white from the corner of my eye approaching us. Wait- is that a...dog? A very...cartoony, anthro dog?

Omega?: Oh dear, thank heaven's! I was afraid you were going to be out for day's! Oh, I do hope your head isn't hurting too much....

Daisuke: Um...no...I'm alright.

I attempted to stand up on my own, but the two strangers immediately grabbed me in order to keep me from falling.

???: Hey, slow down man. No one's rushing you to stand up. Here.

The boy held my shoulders and made sure I was steady on my feet before letting go.

???: There we go! You good now?

Daisuke: I guess so.

???: Good! To be honest, when you didn't wake up, I thought you were dead!

Omega?: Haku! That is not something to joke about!

???: Heheheh, sorry sorry, but I'm sure you've got a lot of question's right now, don't you?

Daisuke: Well, can you answer any of them?

???: Nope.

Daisuke: Great...

Omega?: Okay, we can get to that in a bit, I'm sure our friend here would like a proper introduction.

"Friend" is a bit of a stretch, we knew each other for two minutes and I'm still confused, but an introduction would be nice.

Omega?: I'll go first; my name is Omega, I am a state of the art android designed by the Future Foundation for assistance and friendship!

Daisuke: Oh, you're a robot? That explain's...a lot.

???: The name's Kohaku Takayuki, but friend's call me Haku. I'm the Ultimate Pyrotechnician. It's nice to meet ya!

Daisuke: You're an Ultimate as well?

Kohaku: Yeah, I guess we all are.

Daisuke: And your talent is...setting things on fire?

Kohaku: Eh...more like flashy light shows, but I DO love me something that goes...boom.

As if to excentuate his point, he pulls out a lighter and flicks it on. The safety regulations of this place must by God Tier if their letting this guy bring THAT to school.

Omega: H-Haku! You know you should not be playing with that inside! You could accidentally burn something!

Kohaku: Heheheh, relax, Omega. I've handled a lighter many times, I'm always careful.

Almost as quickly as he pulled it out, the boy closed the tiny fire hazard and shoved it back into his pockets.

Kohaku: See? All gone.

Omega: I am not reassured.

Daisuke: So, you said that there's more people here?

Omega: Indeed! With you and Haku included, there are about sixteen Ultimate student's here!

Kohaku: So, how 'bout you, bud? What's your name?

Daisuke: Right....my name is Daisuke Yoshida, Ultimate Class Representative.

Kohaku: Woah, neat! So your, like, the head of the class yeah?

Daisuke: Eh, something like that. And your talent is...something to do with fire, yes?

Kohaku: You could say that. I'm more of a fireworks type guy, but I can never say no to a little light!

Yeah...I could tell from a few seconds ago.

Daisuke: So, are we...still in Hope's Peak? This place look's like a school gym, so I assumed we were.

Omega: Affirmative! I assure you that we are indeed inside Hope's Peak Academy!

Daisuke: "Inside Hope's Peak"? Strange... Takayuki, were you-

Kohaku: Knocked out while entering the school? Yeah...I'm pretty sure we all were.

That's odd. Why would someone knock out a bunch of student's and trap them in their school? Something bad is going to happen.

Daisuke: Alright, in order to better understand our situation, investigating the school is top priority. Have you two found anything?

Kohaku: Uh...not really.

Omega: Me and Haku volunteered to watch over you in case you woke up while the other's searched the building, so we didn't really get the chance to investigate far from the gymnasium....which just had the bleachers and a storage closet mostly full of sport's equipment.

Amazing start, I'm sure that will make my job easier. Still, having these two around might be helpful, even if they know about as much as me. It's best to keep them close.

Daisuke: Sigh Well, I guess I'll just have to look for myself. You two are coming with me.

Omega: O-oh, alright, Affirmative!

Kohaku: Heh, taking charge already, are we? Guess you really are the Ultimate Class Rep. So, where should we start, bossman?

Daisuke: Never call me that ever again.

Kohaku: Alright then...

Daisuke: We'll start with whatever's behind the main door and then work our way through the main hall. Understand?

Kohaku & Omega: Yep!

Daisuke: Alright, then let's begin.

The three of us quickly made our way to through the door, which lead to the Trophy Room, connecting the gymnasium to the main hall. It was, admittedly, very pretty to look at. Though, the glow emitting from the gold within the trophy case were starting to hurt my retina's. I spotted a security camera from the corner of my eye. Huh, did it just...move?

Kohaku: Wow! Very fancy in here. Is that real gold?

Omega: Not all of it. Real gold is very expensive so alternatives are necessary. That katana, you see, is covered in gold foil.

Kohaku: Huh, really? Dang, it looks surprisingly real! Wonder if its flammable?

Omega: I CERTAINLY HOPE NOT!

Kohaku: Don't worry, it was just a joke! Hey, Yoshida, what do ya think?

Daisuke: Well, it's certainly shiny and...gold looking.

Kohaku: ...

Daisuke: ...moving on. It doesn't look like there's anything here that could be useful right now.

Kohaku: Sword might come in handy sometime...

Daisuke: Hm, maybe...

Omega: Well, if we are done in here, how about we explore the rest of the school!

Kohaku: Yeah! And, we can introduce Daisuke to the rest of us!

When did I give him permission to use my first name?

Daisuke: Alright then, I was planning on doing that anyway...

Omega: Oh! And I must inform you that only the ground floor in open to explore.

Daisuke: What do you mean?

Omega: For some peculiar reason, it seems the stairs to the second floor are blocked by a cage of sorts.

Kohaku: Really? Thats weird... Well, no time for talking, we've got a school to explore. Right, guys?

Omega: O-oh, yes!

Daisuke: Yeah...

As we left the lobby and walked into the main hall, I couldn't help but think back to what Omega said as well as everything I've seen so far.

Blacking out, bolted windows, seemingly active security cameras, the second floor being blocked...it's clear that someone if behind all of this and whoever's it is has put made an effort to keep us here.

How they've done this isn't my biggest gripe, my only question is why? Why kidnap sixteen students? Why did they trap us here, in Hopes Peak? Why did they go through all the effort of seemingly barricading the school, even locking away an entire floor? Even bigger question, what do they plan to gain from this? I fear that if I continue to look deeper into this...I won't like what I find.

Beginning Intermission

.......

......

....

..

???: And so...here we are....

A young man is tied to a chair in the center of a dark room, the ceiling lamp above him being the only source of light. His face is hidden under a potatoe sack painted with a smiley face. Another person, obscured by the darkness, stands right behind him with a gun near his head.

???: We've waited too long for this...and here you are, finally at our mercy.

Tied-up Man: Please....you don't have to do this...

???: ....heheheh.... How cute. Do you really think we're going to stop now? This is only just the beginning. Besides, I'm not the one tied up with a gun to my head.

Tied-up Man: Listen, I know you've all suffered, I understand, but this-

???: Quiet! You don't know shit! You're lucky that the master's even keeping you alive right now.

Tied-up Man: ....

???: Nothing...? Figure's. It won't matter anyway. You won't be here once this ends. I honestly can't wait to see the hope drain from your eyes. Seeing everything you sought to protect crumble to dust, all while you sit here and watch, unable to do anything. It hurts, doesn't it?

Tied-up Man: ....

???: You've all brought this upon yourselves. Soon, everyone will finally understand who the true false angel is! My master will be their new savior! A new dawn of despair will soon be upon them!

Tied-up Man: Please....don't do this....

???: There's no point in begging anymore. Squirm all you want. There is no hope left. No one will hear you. No one will come for you. Your luck has finally run dry, Makoto Naegi.

(And so...it begins)

It's June, so you know what that means!

I wish I could've done something better for today, but I still have the whole month to figure something out.

Anyway, Happy Pride Month, everyone!

Status update: survived my school's final show, now preparing for the next

Wish me luck o7

Finally finished the art for the TMC x KNY au. It's only the main four victim's, but I plan on doing the rest eventually.

Here's the picture without the layer's on top.

Quick overview of each character's breathing styles (minus Cesar since he's a demon in this au):

Mark - Water Breathing (He is our Tanjiro stand-in so this is par for the course.)

Adam - Serpent Breathing (I, honest to god, had no idea what to do with him. While he is sort of the Inosuke stand-in, I wanted to diverge a bit from that, more or less. So, I didn't give him Inosuke's breathing style and gave him this one instead. It mostly had to do with the lore behind Adam's name; you know, the snake in the tree of knowledge. I thought it was clever.)

Jonah - Thunder Breathing (Naturally, I had to make him the Zenitsu of the au.)

OK, so I've been holding it off for a while (mostly because I wanted to make art for this, but due to circumstances I can't put the original pieces and I'm still working on the new one's), but I feel like you deserve some context on that Mandela Catalogue x Demon Slayer au I've had laying around so he we go.

This au follow's a lot of beats in KNY, but with Mandela character's + some oc's plastered on with a few small changes. I wrote a whole explanation on the Lore, but it's long as hell so I'll try to simplify it as much as I can:

(Quick context: Mark started living with Cesar and Mrs Torres after his mother left and his father died. She like's to help out whenever she can, feeling like she owes them. Also, don't think about the location/time period too much, I didn't really think through it.)

During a harsh winter, Mrs Torres get's sick and Cesar stay's home to take care of her, asking Mark to get some medicine after selling the coal. Not being one to refuse his friend, Mark agrees and head's down the mountain to the village of Mandela. After finishing her round's, Mark get's the medicine Cesar needed and make's her way back up the mountain.

It was getting dark and a storm was picking up. Halfway up the mountain, Mark is stopped by Noah (an oc/young father whose family live's close to the Torres')who warn's her about the storm and demon's coming out during the night. Noah insists that Mark stay the night with his family, who are just about to have dinner, and despite his initial refusal, the younger boy join's them for the night.

After that, Noah give's Mark the basic explanation that Tanjiro got about demon's and demon slayer's, you know the drill. Poor thing goes to sleep scared that night.

The next morning, Mark continues his way up the mountain with more speed than he did yesterday. He finally approaches the Torres house when the smell of blood suddenly fill's his senses. Scared, she quickly grab's a hatchet from outside and carefully make's her way to the front door. When she open's it, she see's Cesar's bloodied body pressed against his mother's, a pool of blood right under her. This, naturally, scare's the hell out of Mark and he immediately check's on the two. Mrs Torres, unfortunately, wasn't breathing, but somehow Cesar still had a pulse. Mark was relieved to know that her best friend survived and quickly slung him over her shoulder's in order to get him help.

While running down the mountain, Cesar slowly start's to come into consciousness. Mark tries to reassure his friend that they'll get help for his wounds, but the half dead boy just growl's instead of saying anything. Suddenly, Cesar freak's out causing Mark to lose his balance and the two fall off the cliff they were near. Thankfully, with a mix of snow and anime bullshit, the two survive the fall almost completely unscathed.

Mark, still a bit panicked from the fall, tries to find Cesar only to see him standing perfe tly fine. She ask's him if he's hurt when he suddenly lunges straight at her. Confused, Mark tries to reason with Cesar, but all he get's is a slew of incoherent growling.

Wouldn't ya know, Cesar had been turned into a demon!

Some emotional scene's later, the two are suddenly ambushed by a demon slayer, who is none other than Thatcher Davis, him freaking self!

Thatcher, being a demon slayer, is responsible for putting Cesar out of his misery, but Mark isn't going to let his friend die that easily, regardless of him being a demon or not. She decide's that she will become a demon slayer herself, kill whoever did this to Cesar, and cure him.

While Thatcher is impressed by her determination, he isn't just gonna let a demon go because of a probably empty promise. The two human's get in a fight that end's with the older of the two knocking the other out. Thatcher tries to get back to killing the demon, but Cesar manage's to escape in the struggle and sneak attack's the man. Then, seeing Mark unconscious, he run's right to him and just before Thatcher can pull out his blade….Cesar stand's protectively in front of his friend. This is what finally convinces Thatcher to give the kid a chance.

Mark wake's up to find Cesar unconscious and gagged right next to him. Thatcher explain's that he (Cesar) will need to stay out of the sun and must wear the mouthpiece in order to prevent him from eating any human's. He then leaves the two, but not before giving them a note to meet with the water hashira in the mountain's, who will help Mark in her training.

And that's the plot! There are other character's here, of course, but wanted to start with the first episode's plot and work my way up (I don't watch much demon slayer), so this is all you're getting. Still, I hope you like my au! I will eventually post some designs (maybe even some scene edits or whatever they're called), but that will have to wait!

Beware the Can Man :)

It's my birthday!
