Fixations on fictional subjects in the form of rants, writing prompts, head canons, and so on. We'll see where this leads us. (They/Them) (The banner is from r/place 2023)I make impulsive posts because I get struck with ideas late at night and don't schedule my posts because I like seeing my mistakes in real time /hj.

so in the towers you know how the games are harder for the first time and then set to beginner? LMFAOO
the game thats easiest to me imo is the one where you hit them when they appear. so the harder version it just. at the end it sped up so much that literally every hole was filled with one of them and it kind of made me laugh at the thought of it trying so hard to get me to fail that it just went 'whatever you cant hit THIS many all at once'
i assume all of them have some sort of thing that makes it absolutely impossible to win. (for the one in tower 3 with riddle n azul, like the ferryman one, i cant tell if there was just a solid wall or if i was seeing stuff because so much was there at once it was hard to decipher which was in what lane, so idk. but vil and rook's game was struggling.)
anyway teams teams teams
(not that bad. still sucks though. i have resigned to using retry tickets.)
apparently retry tickets were added for this (and book 7) cause difficulty. oop. i feel a little validated though.
i just straight up forgot epels the only character highly leveled while i was trying to think of who to add on this team. my bad. ..i foresee the usage of a lot of retry tickets. i mean. i dont really have a need to use the summoning system anymore (unless its gonna split in book 7 and ill seriously need better cards or something idfk) so.. huh.
anyway this is.. probably.. better..? (JAMILS SO UNDERLEVELed oh my god-)

(its out of order but you can kind of see im trying to tell a story-ish LMFAO. there are some inconsistencies.
Order: 4th, 5th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st of the green ones. 1st is casual, 2nd is more serious. basically, its like. theres a curse? [green marks on last img], so then stuff is sealed. they have a key in the other imgs but that explains the more seal-like marks on the upper images. ignore the marks on the angel ver because i forgot to get rid of it. also idk maybe his left eye is was used for something so it had special sight. but then he fell so it hurt like a bitch, and possibly was the cause of the curse as it like. idk infected its way through their body. in return for the seal tho it did stuff to his eyes, making it harder to see [thus glasses]. they have better senses though, so when in serious mode they cover their eyes so they dont get distracted.)
Name: Mimamoru (to watch over, or to watch and protect)
the lazy scholar type. (He/They)
anyway i was honestly kind of thinking about barbatos lmfao.
riddle
book 1 spoilers
ok. so. im just. gonna put this here. because. yeah. and also because this fic is gonna be LONG (which i usually write shorter stuff. i didnt expect me to make it long but it just happened.) so it'll be awhile before i post it. ..because its a oneshot, and i write oneshots. so.
but i kind of. oddly feel very proud of this part. blink blink.

“You shut your spoiled little mouth!” Ace-chan yelled.
Both of the juniors startled.
“..Wh-What..?” Riddle-kun stuttered, also surprised by the sudden outburst.
And then–
Ace-chan punched Riddle-kun!
“..So not cute,” He muttered almost by reflex.
“A-Ace!?” Deuce-chan.
“Forget this. I’m done.”
“Y-You.. Hit me…?!”
Ah..
“Parents shouldn’t control their kids, and how they flourish and act shouldn’t be attributed to the parent. It’s not your parents fault that you became a tyrant, or anyone else’s. You’ve been here a year, and you haven’t even made a friend who’ll tell you that you’re out of line. And that’s on you.”
..Oh, Ace-chan.
Riddle-kun recoiled, “..What are you talking about?”
“Look. Maybe you had some strict upbringing from an overbearing and relentless helicopter-mom. But is that all you are? An extension of her? Can’t you think for yourself? ..Really, you call yourself the ‘red sovereign’? You’re just a baby who’s good at magic.”
“..Baby..? Did you just..!?” That was his angry face. “You don’t know anything!”
“I don’t. And I don’t need to. Your attitude tells me everything I need to know. That you’re just a spoiled brat!”
This wasn’t good. At all. An intervention, but was it a good one, or a bad one? Sometimes it could make things worse before it’d get better, and that was why it was so hard to tell.
“Shut up! Shut up shut up shut up shut up SHUT UP! My mother was right! Therefore I am right too!”
This time, Trey-kun spoke up, “Calm down, Riddle. The duel’s already over.”
“If you do not cease your conflict now, I’ll have you written up for breaking school rules!”
Oh, Headmage, anyone could tell that’s not the right decision to make. Bringing up his absolute obedience to the ‘rules’ and turning it against him to try to stop him? Do you want him to see you as against him? He wouldn’t listen… Only to his own and his mother’s delusion.
“He’s right, though! I’ve had enough of Riddle!”
Cater couldn’t tell who it was, but someone threw an egg at the redhead. It broke and splattered on his clothes.
“..Huh..?” Riddle-kun blankly commented.
He shivered under his cold gaze, that turned to stare at everyone. “Who was it? Who did it?”
…
Suddenly he had a scary expression on his face.. “SPEAK UP! Coward. If you mean to say something, say it to my face. You diminish your action by hiding amongst the crowd instead of owning up to your action. Is that all you can do? Truly? ..How disappointing.. Can you only find strength in a group? Where you are ‘invisible’ and therefore everyone gets blamed? Where was your courage at the unbirthday party? ..And yet you act now.. How pitiful. What changed? I’m almost ashamed to be your dorm leader.”
Riddle-kun burst into laughter, “And you say you’re fed up? I’m the one who's fed up with all of you..! No matter what I do, it’s rulebreaker after rulebreaker! Clearly my authority means not a thing! What is it? Are the punishments too light? Is that why you don’t listen? ..No matter how many chances I give, leniencies because truly, I do understand the hardship of memorizing so many rules all at once when you’re so used to so little.. To it being more lax.. I understand, but that doesn’t mean I will stand by after screw up after screw up. You must learn, and clearly, forgiveness is not enough. Truly, I should’ve been more strict. Mother was right, of course she was.. If fear of punishment is what will get you to follow the rules for once, then so be it. It’s time for a re-education. Everyone makes sacrifices for the greater good, do they not? This is for your own good, so obey me.”
Cater felt dread build up, and yet– He couldn’t help but think that that last line must’ve been a quote. Something repeated so many times towards him that it was to be remembered.
‘This is for your own good.’ He felt a little sick, honestly. How many times had his mother justified cruel actions as so?
Riddle-kun ‘smiled’, “Let’s see.. First, it’s OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!” ..Luckily he wasn’t included. Maybe that was because he didn’t view him or Trey-kun as rulebreakers.. “Fighting back is pointless, so it’s best to get that out of the way first before anyone gets any ideas. All it will do is tire you out. Most of you are pitiful without magic, it’s a little funny. But clearly, you all are in such a useless state because I haven’t been nearly as harsh as I should be, so as dorm leader I will take full responsibility, as the most correct person here. I will help you flourish. No worries, all rebellion will be stamped out, and forgiven. It is only right to lend a helping hand, and forgive the children when they make a mistake, no?”
How much of this was ‘him’, and how much of this was his mother?
Underneath it though, he could feel a cool anger.
“Cease this improper behavior now, Rosehearts-kun! I expected better from you!”
..Headmage..
“Of course. I had not acted as a proper dorm leader should’ve, so I will now. After all, every student within the dorm is my responsibility, and thus I should be taking extra care that all of my upper and underclassmen flourish under my guidance. Otherwise, I would be a failure of a Housewarden. My apologies for not doing so sooner.”
“That’s not..!”
Cater winced, “..This could get ugly, fast.” Riddle-kun looked calm, but he could snap in an instant. No doubt.
“Riddle, stop this!” Trey-kun yelled.
Riddle-kun’s expression went blank. “..Even you, Trey. You should’ve understood. Isn’t that exactly why they need to be re-taught? There’s not much you can do with a wrong baseline, except break it and start over, isn’t it?”
..’Break it’ instead of something less violent, like throwing it away.
“How delusional,” Ace-chan scoffed.
Riddle-kun gave a fake upturn of lips, “This once, all will be forgiven if you retract your comment.”
Liar. Was that what she did to you, too? When you did something ‘wrong’, did she pretend that it was okay, and then immediately turn on you once you confessed?
“No way! I refuse.”
“I see.” A hand raised, and– “Mighty roses, come to my command, and put this rulebreaker where he belongs! In the ground with the rest of the trash.”
“..Oh shit,” He muttered under his breath.

anyway after that is overblot so. haha.
anyway. i kind of gave of vibes of him projecting on the students a little. and very much repeating his mother.
so. my notes i wrote after: I dont know why i wrote riddle like i did. Now that im actually thinking about it though. (cause idk when i write my brain goes to somewhere else and i sometimes dont remember writing it cause im so. Distracted. Or focused. Idfk. zoned out.)
But so. In all honesty. Dont you think riddle’s actually being kind of kinder to them? I mean, maybe its just because the queen of hearts rules dont detail on exactly how much one should eat or something. But that was how he was taught so you’d think he’d do the same for his students, monitoring and limiting them, but he doesn’t.
So. he was being kinder then his mother. And guess what? It doesnt work. Whats the conclusion then? That his mother was right. That her way of thinking was right. (in a way, maybe it was riddle experimenting, trying to see if what was his life was actually wrong. Conflicted. If his mother was wrong, because what if..? But. no.)
Is it weird that i like how i wrote riddle in this?
Anyway i think this is the most ive actually veered away from canon wording, and turned from riddle having a tantrum to riddle acting like his mom with her fake calmness that could turn to anger so easily.
help
how the fuck do you get expert. i havent gotten it ONCE
(why theres ingredients who arent charisma is cause they're balanced, so they give points for them all so ive been hoping it'll give a big enough nudge to push it but..)
