I recently got Ortho's Culinary Crucible card, but he had no text when he appeared. (He was a new card)
Reference, and different picture of her:

This is the only other drawing I have:
I drew Idia, but I'm not sure if I should color him in or leave him as is.
Edit: I have colored in the Idia picture 👍
I don't think any of the minors in twst should be sexualized, since even if they're just fictional, the minors' personalities and beliefs are not finalized in the story. Look at Riddle as an example.
Also the main concern with the whole aging up thing is that people usually don't change much when aging a character up, and I feel like if a character is older their look would be different, and they would have more knowledge.
For example, in twst if you're going to age a character like Ace up to 18, he should have his UM by then, and as the writer you can make it literally anything you want for the fic.
However while re-reading this ask, anon mentioned all fandoms. Which I personally feel like is a whole new can of worms :(.
Like for example, in jjk the teenagers in there act like teenagers 🤯, and in that anime, it's shown that Jujutsu Sourcers have a lot of learning to. That Jujutsu Sourcers aren't just mature and ready for anything when they're teens. Refer to the Hidden Inventory arc of the show.
So for an anime/show like jjk you can't just be like "Who cares if Megumi is 15, he's still hot." Because he still has so much to experience in life, and in his work force. Also if you want to argue that you can still age him up, please re-read my second paragraph.
If any of this was confusing to read, that's my bad.
here is my hot take on the twst fandom and all other fandoms, no one cares that "this character is 16 why does he look sexy? why is there porn of him?" their ages are made up, these characters are made up, none of this is real. anyone can age up the characters at any point and do whatever they want with any of them. these characters are more like icons than representation of real people. no one should care or put too much thought into any of this.
This one is hot enough to give some burns I think.
Thank you for your take.

Backstory sections: Before NRC, Getting sent to NRC, and then how July feels about the twst universe.
(After the backstory stuff, I'll talk about July's Design)
Before NRC: July was originally supposed to be born in late June, and because of this her mom was going to name her June. But as you can see by her birthday, she was born in July instead. Her mom was pretty mad about this, and when July was finally born, her mom just named her July because she didn't want to think of another name.
July's mom especially didn't like July after she was born because July was born with heterochromia, and so her mom had to go to a few different doctors to make sure nothing was wrong with July's eyes. Everything was fine though, and the heterochromia wasn't dangerous at all.
Through July's childhood she wasn't really a social kid, and would avoid social interaction whenever she could. She liked playing with dolls, and stuffed animals by herself rather than with people. This anti social behavior would follow her into high school, and she would often times ditch school to watch, and film wild life. Which overtime she developed a love for.
However due to July's constant skipping when she first started high school, her mom decided to "homeschool" her, which was basically just letting July outside of the house all day, and keeping her out until it was sundown. This was because July's mom didn't feel like July was smart enough for college, and July's mom didn't really care about her. The only reason July's mom homeschooled July, instead of just letting her skip school, is because July's mom didn't want to deal with CPS.
July doesn't have any siblings. She has a mom who stays home, and a dad who works all the time. The most July's mom does for her is cook dinner, and do her laundry. Pretty much everything else July has to do herself, like dying her hair. July let's her hair grow for a few months, and then dyes the places where her natural hair color is showing. This meant a lot of the time July would have faded color on her ends, and bright color where her hair had grown out.
Getting sent to NRC: July walked down a trail that was near her house, trees lined the trail, and there was wildlife everywhere. July observed them, and took pictures as she walked along the trail. Eventually, the trail ended, and there was a park. July stayed there for a while. Cars passed by on the road near the park while July was swinging on a swing set, and sliding down the playground slides that were way too small for her. When the sun started setting, she realized she should hurry home. But that's when she saw a crow, the way the setting sun hit its feathers was perfect, it revealed the undertones of purple and a light blue of the crow's feathers. When July pulled out her camera to take a picture, the crow fluttered it's wings, and the picture wasn't flattering.
The crow then started hoping away, but July was determined to get a picture of this crow because once the crow stopped, it was at a perfect angle again. July got a little closer, but the same thing kept happening. It wasn't until July was in the middle of the road, that she was able to take a picture of the crow. She was so happy with how the picture turned out, she didn't even realize she was standing in the middle of the road, or the horse-drawn carriage running towards her.
How July feels about the twst universe: Sometimes she wishes she could just go home. At home she doesn't have to deal with overblots, talking to new people, and getting good grades in school. But sometimes she likes how magical everything is, how things like beastmen, fae, and humans can exist in the same universe, and even the fact that humans can communicate with animals in this world. She's conflicted on whether she wants to go back home or not, and it really bums her out when it's brought up, especially after the prologue when she becomes kind of friends with Ace, Deuce, and Grim.
(Sorry for my bad story telling skills, I'm not very good at writing in the third person (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝) )
You might be wondering if I based July off of a Disney character, and honestly, no, I didn't have one in mind. I kind of just based the personality, and interests on the mc in the game. In twst Yuu doesn't talk much, and their dialog options really don't affect the story much, so I just decided "Maybe Yuu doesn't like to talk to others." And then the whole pictures thing is because the mc in twst has a camera, and does take pictures with it.
As for the poetry part, I just did that because it was an artsy thing, and I felt like it fit in there. Also with history of magic being the best subject, instead of animal languages is because I just feel like my Yuu would have a hard time picking up on the animal languages. This because of her unwillingness to talk in many situations. Also my Yuu is in the film studies club because she's a good with cameras, and I don't think she has to be in the same club as Grim ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
With her physical design, I made her have fire hair. I felt like it was pretty cool. I also thought it would be funny if people kept asking her if she was related to the Shrouds at all, or just assumed it, only to later find out there's literally no connection. Also how ironic would it be if Yuu had a magic feature to them, but they're literally just a non magic human?
Though, I will say her design is a little based on Crona from Soul Eater:
Crona is the reason she has heterochromia, well the reason I designed her that way. While Crona doesn't have heterochromia, their eye color switches from black to blue sometimes, so when I was making my Yuu I was like "🎵 You get the best of both worlds🎵" But instead of a black eye I gave her a brown eye.
Also their skin tone came out...not the way I wanted it, but I'll keep it if enough people like how it is right now. I used a more grey skin color pallette, and not my usual skin color pallette. So in the future I will probably not use that pallette again, unless it's for the Halloween Skully event, or something like that.
Oh also, if you noticed on the top of July's head there's a little face:
Originally, I put this in my sketch because I was trying to figure out how flame hair worked, and if there would be particles in there. Then I realized I was thinking of a lava lamp, but I liked the little face, so I'm keeping it.
And before I stop my yapping, I wanted to say in Japanese July is just "The seventh month" and so I made July's birthday the 7th because I decided she would be born on the 7th month. Also I chose July as her name because I didn't know what gender she was going to be at first, and it was gender natural. July is only a girl because I put genders on a wheel, and it chose girl.
Thank you for listening to me talk about my Yuusona, please feel free to ask any questions (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)
(Also yes, I did take the background from twst, but I did make the fireflies)
Different versions of shading below, and announcements for this blog below the cut
I didn't like these ones as much, but I'm sure someone does ^^
Announcement: I will be making a masterlist for my blog! However, I will most likely not put the polls I've made on my blog on the masterlist. That's all! Have a good morning, evening, or night (˶ˆᗜˆ˵)
Because Rook's birthday is soon, I decided to draw him! ^^
Happy birthday to Malleus! I hope everyone who wants any of his birthday cards gets them!
Also the reference I used for this picture is pretty funny, so it will be below the cut.

Noticed you are active again.
How are you doing, mootie :D ?
Hey Roi :D, I'm sorry I haven't been too active on tumblr recently. I've been trying to put my time into a Yuusona (I pretty much have the design down), other than that I've been okay (˶ˆᗜˆ˵). I live in America, and it's getting scary over here to say the least. I hope you are doing well! ^^
Sorry this isn't an art post, it's more of a vent post.

I know St. Patrick was a real person, but I thought it would be fun to combine the holiday and Sebek's name together (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
