Don't Worry, Though

Don't worry, though

Riddle's mom is his abuser. She prevents him from having a proper social life, tells him lies about food consumption, and forces an extremely schooling curriculum on him. This is very clear, but I was thinking about what kind of abuser she is.

There a probably some people who headcanon her to think she is doing the best for him, but I don't quite think that is right. You could think that her strict rules on food for him could be her trying to keep him healthy UNTIL you remember she is a doctor. She is a doctor, so she has to know all the food rules she is giving him, for example Riddle not being able to have any sweets, is BS. She literally just wants control of him. She is an abusive control freak. But the interesting thing is that she could still think she is loving him. A lot of abuser report that they thought their want for control of a person was love for said person.

Have I watched the new MH show? No, but I wanted to try designing one of the g1 characters for the new series(even though I don't think she will be in the show...)

I like how she turned out so I might do a proper drawing soon.

Idia: You see a lone baby dragon in the woods—

MC: Can I adopt it?

Idia: Let me finish. You have two options:

Idia: You can sell it and get rich or-

MC: I'll go with the latter.

Idia: ...

Idia: Great. You successfully adopted a dragon that will burn your whole village when it grows up.

MC: Are the villagers assholes?

Leona: Motherfucker- You're going to justify everything for its sake, huh?

MC: It's MY CHILD. I will do everything for my child.

Malleus: ...

Malleus: Shroud, when can I divorce Kingscholar?

Idia: Uh...

Leona: You're not leaving me with ten children, you dipshit.

Malleus: I will be taking them with me.

Idia: Er, don't fight. Please.

Phones aren't allowed in class, but the freshmen still had a way to communicate when something was needed.

They found out about it on accident.

Deuce had spilled colors on himself while in Crewel's class again and Ace was desperately trying to clean up the evidence to avoid the professors ratting them out to Riddle. Yuu was, once again, trying to make sure Grim wasn't trying to eat toxic chemicals.

When Ace pulled off his gloves, to grab a paper towel, he noticed the spatter of green and yellow coloring on his forearms. He found it odd; usually the only thing that showed up on his skin, at this point, were bruises and various cuts that weren't his. When Riddle collared him, for the third time since Monday, he'd see all of his friends scramble to cover their necks to hide the embarrassing marks.

But this? This was beautiful.

However, from their groupchat, it appeared the others were just as confused as he was:

does anyone know why ma forearms are covered in green and yellow? It's not a burn, bruise, paper cut, or an open wound. Is it a chemical? Deuce, Ace, and Yuu are in chemistry. Since my metal isn't irritated, it can't be any chemical 🤔 It's definitely not an acid or corrosive 😶 IF ONE OF YOU FOUND A KNEW WAY TO GET HURT, IT'S GOING TO BE TROUBLE FOR ALL OF US. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE OKAY.

He picked up his phone. He decided to answer for Deuce himself since said card soldier was still washing away the spatter in the bathroom during their in-between classroom run.

deuce just spilled some coloring agents from class hes fine guys just washing them away ... ... ... Do you think we can start writing notes on each other? When we can't use our phones? someone test this shit out.

As the three of them, Deuce, Ace, and Yuu, stepped into their next class, they rolled up their sleeves and found a wall of their friends' handwriting all over their forearms.

Testing, does this work?

It appears it does.

ꪖ᭙ꫀᦓꪮꪑꫀ!!!!

Despite the hardships that came with hiding the bruises, dodging the cuts, and the embarrassing injuries they can't remember getting, it was a comfort to know they still had a means of communication. Even when they didn't have phone, they would still have each other.

Although, it did take a lot of effort to not laugh at Ortho's final edition to their writing:

As much as this is a wonderful discovery, we should limit the amount we write as my school gear is still metal. And, because it's metal, the handwriting still shows :(

He bit his lip, to make sure he did giggle, and wrote his own comment:

lets get you a fabric sleeve of some kind then.

That's actually a great idea Ace!

twst first-years that die during malleus' overblot because they're the youngest, and not at all accustomed to having that much magic attacking their systems.

twst first-years that go on to haunt their upperclassmen from then on, always ragging on them for not trying hard enough to protect them like they were supposed to.

twst first-years, who the other nrc students aren't entirely sure are actually their ghosts or a lingering hint of malleus's dream magic or just a product of their broken psyches.
