Another twst oc introduction 🏃‍♀️

Jaseem

School : Royal Sword Academy

Favourite food: Rice dishes, Shawarma

Pastime: Playing with his pet tiger Rana, Visiting Kalim, Discovering wildlife

Family: Father, Mother, Kalim(Cousin)

Role: Dormhead

Jaseem is a third year at RSA. To most people he may seem like a lone wolf who despises making friendships, but underneath the surface is a gentle boy who longs for freedom.
Being born from a wealthy family with relations to the Asims, Jaseem’s status is nothing new to even the freshmen. Every year groups of students and parents from high status families would flock around him offering their sister/daughters hand in marriage.
Before he was allowed to bring Rana to school (don’t ask me how he did it-) Jaseem had no choice but to either 1. Run as fast as possible or 2. Teleport himself to a safe spot. Now with Rana, a fearsome tiger donning an expensive turquoise silk ribbon, nobody dares to approach Jaseem anymore.
Personality wise, Jaseem is extremely sharp-tongued and will not tolerate a single second on people he deems as childish. He is capable of cooperating with others but would prefer to work alone. Despite the cold exterior, if one can prove that they love tigers as much as he does.. maybe they’d stand a chance to win his attention. And if you can win his trust, Jaseem is probably the most loyal ally/friend you will ever get.
Having attended many arranged marriage meetings, Jaseem is already accustomed to how he must act around the ladies even if he dislikes interacting with them and entertaining their thoughtless comments about his wealth.
He is actually really bad at conveying his feelings, particularly romantic ones. He can no longer grasp the real meaning of love and has trust issues about whether someone is genuinely interested in him. This only numbed Jaseem more over the years hence brushing these feelings aside.
Jaseem has a general disliking towards women due to his past, but he will respect those who deserve it and mean their words. He won’t voice his opinions unless the situation gets on his nerves.
Jaseem’s mother was hospitalised when he was a young child and has been living there for many years, only visiting for a few days when the doctors deem her suitable. Due to schoolwork and other business matters, Jaseem is unable to visit her as much as his father. But he tries to make time for her as he feels most comfortable and at ease when talking to her about his troubles.
His father already told him that he will never marry another woman as he loves his wife very much, this made Jaseem envious as he hopes to be able to find someone he can stand by faithfully someday. While he feels that his father can be rather strict, both father and son have mutual respect for one another as they only want the best for the family.

Backstory

Back when the life wasn’t as complicated, Jaseem was extremely cheerful and lived every day to the fullest with the vast amount of wealth his family possessed.
However when he had reached the age of 10, his life began to fall apart. As the only son, Jaseem was forced to find a future wife sooner or later. From then on he had to attend countless numbers of arranged marriage meetings, parties while attending his father’s business conferences. Jaseem thought he could shoulder this responsibility , but that pressure would just build up later as he grew older.
Arranged marriage meetings were the worst. Jaseem learnt how shallow and sly people could be, faking their entire personality to coddle up to him for the sole purpose of attaining his family’s wealth. “But that’s just the reality of being the only heir isn’t it”, he thought. Jaseem became increasingly saddened over the fact that no one genuinely TRIED to understand his hobbies or know more about him, only throwing empty praises about his home/accessories/looks.
Since young Jaseem has been fascinated with tigers and his mother was the one who encouraged him to take care of one ( much to his father’s reluctance), thus Rana became his new family member. Many of his suitresses cringed at the sight of Rana whom they saw as a dirty, wild animal. Sometimes Jaseem’s father had no choice but to order the guards to take Rana away in order to force Jaseem to follow his schedule , which made him even more depressed.

Eventually, Jaseem had reached his breaking point during one of the parties and wanted to escape his “cage” even bringing Rana with him. It was then he met a young, white haired boy in the greenhouse. Jaseem couldn’t hold back his tears when the boy comforted him, claiming that he can share the same sentiments. It was after they were called to the main event where Jaseem learnt that the boy was no other than Kalim Al Asim, the oldest son and soon-to-be heir of one of the richest families in the world and his cousin.
From that moment onwards, the two spent their childhood days together basking in the sunlight and running around the mansion. They confided in each other, became each other’s source of strength to keep doing their best( this was especially stronger for Jaseem towards Kalim). They drifted a little after entering higher education, but still keep in contact.
For Jaseem, Kalim is the definition of the sun. Had he not met this smiley boy showing off his unique magic and telling him how he must continue to do his best as not only the heir but as an older brother too, Jaseem would have had a different fate and never face his reality. This explains why he hates Jamil to the core after knowing what he had done when he overblotted.
Current lifestyle for Jaseem was no different from his younger days, he still attends arranged marriage meetings (fewer due to school) and gets numerous phonecalls from his father about countries they have to fly to for business conferences. Jaseem became more adept at his dealings with women and can twist meetings to end faster to save his time to do something useful.. like picking a new silk ribbon for Rana. 🐯

Relationships

Kalim

Cousins by blood and childhood best friends. While many students in NRC thinks Kalim is way too carefree, Jaseem would cut in and tell them off as Kalim is not the oblivious rich boy many thinks he is.
He respects Kalim’s motto to be kind to others, lend a helping hand when needed and staying positive despite the challenges life throws at him. Jaseem wishes to protect this precious spirit, praying that Kalim will have nothing but happiness in his life. Jaseem truly looks up to Kalim for being able to smile through everything he’s been through, believing that he wouldn’t even survive a day in that household knowing he might not live to see the next day.
Jaseem can be extremely over protective of Kalim especially when Jamil is around. “I can’t let that damn snake cause any harm to my cousin..”he would think angrily while glaring at Jamil💀

Jamil

If not for the sake of his family image and Kalim Jaseem would have pummeled Jamil to the ground for the things he said and had done to Kalim. While he tries his best to understand Kalim, Jaseem still cannot fathom why he’d want to keep this traitor who doesn’t even consider him a friend by his side.
Unlike his caring and soft self when he is with Kalim, Jaseem treats Jamil like a mere servant and only replies with direct commands. Sometimes he would mock Jamil for the sake of belittling him, but would not stoop as low as to bring his family into it. The atmosphere around these two can be very intense indeed.
If Jaseem learns to see the overblot incident from Jamil’s point of view, perhaps he will come to understand that the two of them aren’t so different after all.

Najma

One of the few girls he respects, Jaseem is like a second older brother to Najma. Of course Najma catches on quick and can tell that Jaseem isn’t exactly fond of her brother, so she has to constantly remind Jaseem to stop frowning whenever he spots Kalim and Jamil together. He tries his best to be nicer to Jamil, but only because Najma wouldn’t stop nagging at him 🤣

Bonus: Rielle

If you’ve seen my old comics about my RSA ocs i often draw Jaseem and Rielle bickering 🤣 Jaseem thinks Rielle is incompetent and has dad issues while Rielle views Jaseem as a weirdo who is way too protective of his cousin, also why would any sane person bring a TIGER to school??

Fun facts about Jaseem’s design

He carries a waist pouch filled with Rana’s treats, various silk ribbons, water dispenser, comb and toys ( just to name a few). The pouch is magically altered to carry many items.
The tiger plush keychain was a gift from his mother when his parents brought him to an amusement park on his birthday. Jaseem did not have the best experience as he was constantly surrounded by guards and journalists, no other children wanted to play with the renowned heir too.
His seemingly blue day turned upside down when he spotted a cute tiger plush in the souvenir shop, thinking about how it looks exactly like Rana. Jaseem’s mother noticed his adoration for the fluffy toy on the top shelf and asked the staff to order one for Jaseem. Even though this silly fabric toy could not compare to the vast amount of gold and expensive gifts Jaseem received, he saw his mother’s gift as something invaluable that money can’t buy.
Till this day he still brings his tiger plush around with him chained to his waist pouch. Though it looks rather dull after being used for years, you can still tell how well washed and cared for it is by its owner.
I struggled trying to incorporate Jasmine’s hairband into the design but for now its a turquoise strand of hair that starts from the top of his head so it looks like a hairband! Its also Jaseem’s way of exploring with his own style knowing that he is far away from his home and strict upbringing. The first time Jaseem dyed his hair he thought “So this is what its like to be rebellious..interesting” 🤣
His earrings are different, the one on the right is a slightly thick gold piece ( OG Jasmine) while the left is a decorative earring with small, dangling chains and a huge jewel ( Live action Jasmine). I thought it would be cool to incorporate both earrings as I couldn’t settle on one.

END

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed Jaseem too, I’m really happy with the response for Alison haha 😭 Till next time!

*Also I know someone addressed it before but I mean to express Jaseem’s love towards Kalim as familial, nothing more. How you choose to see my OCs is up to your interpretation so long as you don’t twist my words and stories i wrote for them :)

Baby dragon 🐉🍼 is in papa's office, lazing about in his little bean bag that he dragged beside the sunlit window.

🐉🍼: *yawn*

🐉: "My, what a big yawn! Are you alright, Mister Drowsy? Is our Lord of Eepers eepy?"

When you spend everyday with your modern spouse, you can't help but pick up a word or two from their vocabulary.

But his baby only side-eyes him for a whole five seconds, unspeaking. Then the boys sighs loudly, buries his snout in the bean bag, and dozes off.

🐉:

He's never felt more judged in his life.

Grandmother Maleficia sees you for the first time, and she immediately inspects your person from head to toe. You and Malleus aren't dating.

👵: "So this is the beautiful 🌸 I frequently hear spectacular stories of... from anonymous sources."

🌸, confused: "You know me? Beautiful?"

👵: "A tad exaggerated if I were to judge, yet that in itself is a healthy indication of earnest affection. Very good."

👵, chuckling: ""A being lovelier than any marble sculpture I've ever laid eyes on... Warm and soft skin that puts to shame any and all expensive blankets the world has to offer. A smile more radiant that the sun itself... And a voice whose song chases away the most piffling or dismal of worries..." "

🐉: "Grandmother, I beg of you."

👵: "Why are you affected, dear? Did I not say anonymous sources? This conversation should not concern you, no?"

👵, gasping dramatically: "Unless..?"

And she cackles at the mixture of shame and dread in her grandson's face. He remembers that his dearest, most illuminated and majestic Queen Grandmother is a witch, through and through.

Warning: reproduction talk

In the JP MalleYuu fandom, people accepted that dragon eggs are products of love. But if dragon fae are incredibly romantically inclined, what if our dragon boy falls in love with a Yuu♂️? So of course the solution they came up with is...

🐉: "Did you know that unlike humans, both male and female dragon fae can lead the reproduction?"

🌸: "Oh wow, that's so cool!!"

🐉: "So being born male, or female doesn't matter at all."

🌸: "That's really convenient."

🐉: "The development happens in an egg and doesn't require a womb."

🌸: "Wow!"

🐉: "So it doesn't matter what kind of person we take a liking to."

🌸: "I get it, I get. Hornton you're getting too close." <- He is trapped against the table.

There is no escape for Yuu-kun.

Warning: whack but smutty topic. Minors scroll away

First night of a virginal wedding with 🐉. Things are getting hot and heavy and thrilling, but he suddenly zones out and tears himself away from you. Confused, you sit up and ask him what's wrong. He pulls out a book from under the bed and flips through it to a page he had bookmarked.

He had studied hard for this very moment so as to not embarrass himself, but apparently his nerves and overstimulation got the better of him. So he forgot. He completely forgot what he was supposed to do next.

🌸: "You... forgot?"

🐉, indignantly: "I cannot help it. No book in the library regarding this topic has illustrations of any kind, so half the time I cannot comprehend what they are talking about. "And finally, a climactic shock shook him to the core as he aimed his cannon at her volcanic cavern, spilling his juices into her.""

🐉: "What does that mean? Why does the woman own a volcano? Why is he attacking her lands? And what flavor is the juice supposed to be?"

🐉: "Therefore this book is the most straightforward I've found. I cannot remember for the life of me however, whether the tongue or the finger goes first..."

You laugh hard. Really, really hard. He looks at you with an offended expression, but you just wave at him while trying to calm down your giggles.

🌸: "Just put that book down, mister, and come here already."

Goodness, you didn't think that it's part of your spousal duties to educate your adorable husband.

Baby dragon 🐉🍼 playfighting with papa. He suddenly stops, turns away, and saunters to mama to drink milk for about a minute, then walks back to his casually waiting papa and immediately goes into fury mode.

It's supposed to be playfighting with an emphasis on play, but the baby seems to be taking things a bit too personally. When he lands a biiiiiig MONCH on papa's thigh, 🐉 lands on his knees and pretends to die. 🐉🍼 sniffs him and nudges him with his snout, but when papa doesn't respond, he starts crying and tries every odd type of magic he knows to try and revive him.

Papa wakes, so baby, with his tail uncontrollably and violently wagging from happiness, lunges at him and whines and whines as if to say he's sorry.

🌸, after the little debacle: "Why do you enjoy scaring him like that... Is that part of dragon parenting too?"

🐉: "Why yes, he needs to know how it feels like to be protective and fight for the things he cares for-- you. But I also felt constantly acting as his pretend enemy might actually make him think I am his nemesis..."

🌸: "So were you satisfied when he cried after "defeating" you?"

🐉: "I was actually thinking that that would be a good opportunity to check if he instinctively knows healing spells, but magic to knead dough, to freeze milk, or to see through a box-- I believe he uses that one to check if an ice cream container really contains ice cream-- does not really cut it."

🐉: "But when he ran out of spells and started begging in dragon tongue to not leave you and him alone... Well, I believed that was magic fit enough to actually return me back to life."

🌸, laughing: "He really takes after you."

You really should be paying attention to what Malleus was saying, considering how considerate and enthusiastic he was. It was sweet of him, really, to offer you the seat next to him during break time when you offhandedly mentioned eating lunch alone in the library instead of at your usual table at the cafeteria because of Ace and Deuce’s shared detention - in fact, he even offered to help you with your Defense Magic essay. And what were you doing as a response to his kindness? Letting his words fade away as you observed how the sunlight did an exquisite job at highlighting his orphic beauty.

A/N: I didn't want to leave Lilia out of the series even though I only write platonic relationships with him, so I wrote about his ideal friend instead. Enjoy!

Malleus' ideal type would be...

Someone who playfully teases him. Malleus can be quite a tease himself, and enjoys seeing people squirm under his playful eyes. While he knows how it feels to be at the receiving end of that treatment thanks to Lilia, he'd still get surprised if you reciprocate.

I need. Twisted Beastmen and the like. To be more animalistic. Not necessarily like, physically, I don't meant that in the furry sense. I mean that in the 'they're part animal and it'd not just for show' sense.

I want beastmen with claw like nails. Where the cat-like ones tend to walk on their toes when not wearing shoes because it feels right. Where their eyes and pupils reflect the animals that they're partly of. With fangs and teeth appropriate for their species.

Ruggie making laughing noises at the active prospect of food. Whooping when in a fight and needing backup. Lowing when excited for a fight.

Leona roaring to get the whole dorm's attention. Chuffing in greeting at people he considers part of his pride. (He'll sometimes grunt at Cheka like a mother would to her cubs but will deny it.)

Jack barking at danger to warn others and howling to try and figure out where his pack is (he forgets they can't howl back, but Ruggie will sometimes low at him and Yuu definitely tries to howl back.)

I want to see Azul with the tips of his limbs in human form retain some of his octopus natural ability to camouflage. I want to see his hands always moving, grabbing something, holding something. Azul who might not have bones in human form with how flexible he is??

The tweels who aren't very active naturally during the day but get really hyperactive at night. Who bare their teeth at people when excited.

Che'nya who lounges in the sun on lazy days. Who's great at stretching and popping everywhere in his body if he needs to, to a concerning degree.

GIMME FEY WHO DONT ACT HUMAN

Malleus who snorts smoke when he's angry. Malleus who wear gloves because he got claws. Malleus who has a tail and wings outside of his dragon form sometimes.

Lilia who gets just a bit too excited at the prospect of a fight and spilling blood. Who can recognize a person by the smell of their blood. Who makes inhuman noises when too excited and gives off a very eldritch horror kind of vibe if he lets loose.

Sebek who can be found eating rocks sometimes. Who finds quiet in thunder and lightning. Who can move so smoothly and silently you don't know he's there until he opens his maw. Who has a lot of really sharp teeth for someone with a human mouth.

Just- gimme some animal, like, REALISM. PLEASE.

MalleYuu Headcanon:

“Garlgussy (Clubs)”

🦐🐲🦐🐲🦐🐲🦐🐲🦐🐲🦐🐲🦐🐲🦐🐲

I hc that Yuu decided to sign up for the Gargoyle Studies Club because they love the solidarity and simply learning about history.
At this point they are on acquaintance terms with Malleus (not yet knowing he is Malleus Draconia), and is determined to impress this stone-cold elegant person who has shown them nothing but kindness. So then, they spend all night studying for the so-called entrance exam, memorizing the different origins, identification, etc. of gargoyles throughout different time periods.
Malleus on the other hand was just ecstatic to have another member have interest in his club, (moreso the fact that it was the child of man who had a curious intrigue in) and was planning to let them join either way, even simply for companionship.
However, Yuu was so adamant and so determined to prove themselves to him that Malleus amused them anyways by giving them questions. Simple questions.
Yuu was able to answer them with ease as they noticed the questions had been related to Tsunotarou’s ~~ramblings~~ monologues during their midnight walks. Malleus decides to up the ranks just for fun and asks them more difficult questions.
Yuu answered them all correctly, with a smirk on their face. Malleus was taken aback by the gesture and in this instance is what Malleus started to feel things. Things he may not have comprehended in the moment, but feelings that may someday blossom into love.

Octomer Baby Development: A guide for new parents (Part 3)

After a year taking care of your Octomer hatchling, you may notice how quickly they're developing and gaining independence. This may be a bit bittersweet, especially if yours was especially clingy, but this only means your hatchling is happy and healthy! After their 1st year of life, they also officially graduate from hatchling to a proper baby, and their growth will start slowing down to that of an average mer.

PHASE 3─THE BABY:

12-14 Months:

Now that their chromatophores are fully developed, you may notice that your baby will start to mimic the colors of their enviroment. As they start experimenting with cammouflage, parents are encouraged to introduce more bright and vivid colors and a variety of textures to stimulate your child.

15-17 Months:

Teething! Like most caecalea, your baby's teeth will start growing, with one big frontal beak-like tooth always coming out first. this first tooth is made entirely of keratin and is slightly weaker than your regular baby teeth, which helps your octomer crack hard shells before their other, more specialized chitin teeth set start growing. Many parents choose to keep this first 'beak tooth' as a memento. Interestingly, mer-snakes (like the Naga subspecies) have a similar tooth that's used to pip out of their egg. This is the perfect time to introduce your baby to various types of shellfish. In fact, there's quite a large amount of toothing toys made out of shells to help with that annoying itch that comes with this phase.

18-20 Months:

As they grow up, your baby will not only start developing their personality, but will also start to babble and chirp. Especially as they start growing more teeth, it's imperative that parents start talking to their child more often and incentivise them to vocalize various sounds and words. Wonder what your baby's first word will be?

21-23 Months:

Now that your baby is starting to learn how to talk and communicate with others, their brain will start to develop a more complex memory and start to understand their relationships with others and the world. Socialization and play with other babies their age will help your child understand how to interact with others and develop their grasp on both body language and spoken words.

24 Months and Onwards ─ Toddler stage

Congratulations! Your baby has grown up to become a toddler, and now new and exciting developments will occur as they continue growing up! We hope this guide has helped you understand your baby's growth better, and that your newest family member continues growing up happy and healthy.
