If after 15 years and lots of therapy you ask your mother to acknowledge the way she failed to protect you, and she still responds by turning the volume on the television up, and only then do you begin tugging your roots free of her, are you holding a grudge, or is the grudge holding you, like your mother should have?

If your mother disowns her own mother, and her mother disowns her mother before that, and you then disown your mother, is it a grudge or a genetic trait?

Swear Words By Fantasy Language
Common: hit your thumb really hard and see!
Dwarvish: Dwarves don’t have any swear words. Rather, a Dwarf must show their craftsmanship by combining non-swear words in a vulgar way. You’ve not been truly offended until a dwarf calls you a house-painting-horse-bargainer.
Elves: Elvish has exactly one swear word, and each elf can only use it once in their life. If uttered it kills all plant life in 300ft and everything capable of hearing must make a wisdom saving throw or disintegrate on the spot.
Giant: Giant contains such swearwords as “double fuck”, which is like normal fuck but twice as big.
Gnomish: Gnomish uses things like “tax returns” and “fiscal responsibility” as swear words. Mentioning your accountant will have you thrown out of respectable gnomish society
Goblin: Honestly, it’s easier to list the words in goblin that aren’t swear words.
Halfling: Halfling has incredibly harsh swear words, to the surprise of everyone when this pastoral little man toddling around a farm and eating muffins calls you a motherfucking shithead cockface
Draconic: Draconic swear words translate to things like “gosh darn it” and “oh heckers” but, to be fair, they come off as more serious when roared at you while you’re on fire.
Orcish: Orcish contains no swear words. Don’t assume based on stereotypes.

not poor you-tsum getting piled on the moment she shows up in front of the others. don't worry, i'm sure they're all just playing a fun game with her! she sure is squeaking a whole lot, though...
>_< poor you-tsum, returning to your arms looking so disheveled after playing with the other tsums for so long! They’re all so rough! Riddle tries to brag that his tsum would never participate in such things, but then he finds out his tsum was one of the first to jump on your tsum and now he’s absolutely mortified. The tsum does not reflect his inner thoughts; please believe him!!!! orz
Or you’re studying with the Octavinelle trio while your tsums play together. You don’t understand why they’re wrestling with each other, but all it takes are knowing smiles exchanged amongst the trio and you’ve suddenly got a bad feeling…
Napping alongside Leona while your tsums are busy playing. By this point, you’re almost certain they’re doing more than just playing. ^^;; if you comment on it, Leona cracks one eye open to look at them before smirking and saying, “Maybe we ought to copy their example. Seems fun.” Slow, sloppy, sleepy sex with our favorite lion prince hehe!!!! <3

I would like to address the recent slander of my good name.
It is utterly ridiculous that there are rumors going around about me having a court date or being an abusive mother
It's even worse that I am no longer allowed to step foot on my precious son's campus to check in on him.
I've only been able to see my baby boy if I sneak past all of the teachers and janitors so that I won't be roughly tossed out the gates like some trespasser.
How cruel is that? A mother being separated from her own son! It's despicable.

After Chapter 7, Malleus and by extension Briar Valley had to deal with plenty of backlash.
In an attempt to appease the public (and control Malleus), the Senate organized a press conference with world leaders and NRC parents (there's A LOT of overlap between those two groups).
The main idea was to show the Senate as capable advisors that would guide the young Draconia, cementing their status in Briar Valley while also "protecting" and isolating Malleus.
What really happened was that Mrs. Rosehearts yelled at them for ten hours straight.
You see, Riddle was worried about how his mother would react to the entire Chapter 7 situation, so he made sure to explain everything to her, casting Malleus and Lillia in a more favourable light.
And it acually worked! You see, despite all her failures as a parent, she is still a mother at the end of the day, and the idea that a son would go to such great lenghts, overblotting and almost dooming the entire world, just to keep his parental figure safe, was quite touching.
She also has a newfound respect for Lillia, how he spent all those years looking for ways to get Malleus to hatch, how he went above and beyond to care for the Prince, even while banished, how he adopted and raised Silver (who is the only student she actually respects). HOW HE LITERALLY SACRIFICED PART OF HIS LIFEFORCE FOR MALLEUS TO HATCH!
On the other hand, she HATES the Senate. Mostly because she put herself in Meleanor's shoes: imagine you're about to die and decide to entrust your unborn son to your friend, only for said friend to be unjustly banished, leaving your kid in the hands of a bunch of entitled senators that completely DISREGARDED YOUR LAST WISH (Mrs. Rosehearts hates it when people don't do what she says, so she feels personally offended by that last bit, the fact that Malleus almost died also doesn't help).
Anyway, she's angry and, since the Senate IS encouraging people to air their grievances with Briar Valley, might as well seize this opportunity!
Malleus, Silver, Sebek, Lillia, Baul and Maleficia feel vindicated. Since only the housewardens and Diasomnia were invited for the event, the group chat was crazy.
The housewardens were all sitting together near the back of the room, alongside Silver and Sebek (they DON'T want to draw attention to themselves, especially since most of them are overblot survivors), so they could easily chat or sleep. Meanwhile the students back on campus were watching everything at Ramshackle.
As a small bonus, a few ways to avoid panic attacks, by Riddle and Trey:
*Mrs. Rosehearts starts talking*
Trey: Hey Rook!
Rook: Oui?
Trey: What is the meaning of beauty?
Rook: :D
*Rook starts monologuing and nobody can hear the TV anymore*
Meanwhile Riddle:
*School chat*
Epel: So, how long until she stops yelling at people? It ain't funny anymore...
Riddle: Since she yelled at Trey's parents for five hours because they gave me a tart, maybe ten or fifteen hours?
Ruggie: Wtf
Deuce: Are you doing okay, dormhead?
Riddle: I have a fully charged phone with a crosswords app, headphones playing all the Queen's rules on loop, and an entire bottle filled with the strongest calming tea I could find.
Riddle: Moreover, I'm currently seated beside the sleepiest students in this school (Leona and Silver). Their calm disposition creates a peaceful environment.
Riddle: Therefore I shall be able to keep panic attacks AND overblots at bay!
Ace: Just say yes or no...
*15 minutes later*
Riddle: I beat the game, there are no more crosswords
Vil: Chess.com
Vil: NOW
Vil: Wake Leona up, we're having a TOURNAMENT!
Idia: Congrats, u just got a World Record
Idia: Also I'm sending you a list of games later...
They left a bit after the seventh hour mark.

I think you mentioned that Rollo was a Dark Mirror to Idia and recently Fellow is a Dark Mirror to Ruggie (Maybe Gidel too)
Of the cast we have what Dark Mirror of a Character would you be interested in exploring and maybe what Twst-ified Disney Character would fit
[Idia and Rollo comparison/analysis here!]
[Fellow and Kalim + Ruggie comparisons/analysis here!]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also compared Fellow and Kalim ^^ and honestly, I do believe those two are the stronger parallel over Fellow and Ruggie (especially considering that Kalim was a SSR in Playful Land). I think that and the Rollo-Idia post are some of my longest and most interesting analyses, so I’d really recommend giving them a read if you haven’t already!
Mmm… While I don’t think it’s likely that we’ll get characters twisted from 3D animated films anytime soon, I’ve also said before that I would really love to see a twisted Mother Gothel. She’s so crafty and expertly emotionally manipulative; Gothel would be a perfect first in Twisted Wonderland.
I think Gothel could serve as a great foil to both Vil and Riddle; it depends on what direction they’d take her in. Riddle is no stranger to having a strict, controlling guardian that keeps him locked indoors and away from the world. His relationship with Gothel would be like that of parent and child, and perhaps it could help Riddle revaluate his relationship with his own mother. In Vil’s case, he would be more of a 1:1 with Gothel, both serving as “parental” figures to others. Vil within his own dorm, and Gothel with a twisted Rapunzel. Similar to Riddle, maybe Vil confronting or facing off against Gothel might make him reconsider his own stern methods of mentoring—sort of in a “don’t compare me to you, I’m insulted/I’m not this awful” manner?

MC: What business do you have with me, Headmage? I'm already running late for the ball.
Crowley: Please excuse my interruption, Madame. However, I have an update on why you were summoned here.
MC: Oh, you're serious? Is it interesting enough for you to bother me?
Crowley: Yes. It's actually quite significant. *guides her to the Mirror Chamber*
MC: This lousy mirror again.
Dark Mirror: I apologize for causing you such distress.
MC: It's too late. Now, what do you want to tell me?
Dark Mirror: ...
Crowley: Speak, Dark Mirror. She has to know.
Dark Mirror: As previously stated, you have a place in this world. At the very least.
MC: Yes. And I don't think you need to say it again.
Dark Mirror: The Madame wields enormous power. A power that should have died a long time ago.
MC: Let's get right to the point.
Dark Mirror: Madame, you are descended from Della Morte.
MC: Della Morte? *seems to be thinking* Go on.
Dark Mirror: A prestigious family known for their ability to manipulate souls, reincarnations, and the void.
Dark Mirror: And you, Madame, wield the Spectral dragon's power.
MC: ...
Crowley: It's easy to see now why it took me so long to discover your existence, Madame. Della Morte's records are extremely private, but thanks to the Dark Mirror, I was able to obtain this information.
MC: ...
MC: Assume that all of this nonsense is true. But do you think it's a good enough reason for you to bring me here without my permission?
Crowley and the Dark Mirror: ...
MC: Do you believe this information will make me feel better about the fact that you haven't found a way to send me home?
MC: Or are you expecting me to hold a reunion with my... extinct ancestors?
Crowley: I... I apologize, Madame...
MC: Apologies after apologies. Headmage, don't you have anything better to do?
Crowley: *sulks*
Malleus: It's been a few hours since the ball started, but the Madame hasn't been seen yet.
Lilia: Don't tell me she's going to miss her own event. I hope not.
Sebek: Should I fetch her?!
Silver: Sebek.
A random student: Look! The Dark Mirror is glowing!
MC: *steps out of it gracefully*
MC: *looks at them with such dignified manner*
Ace: *approaches her* Madame! Why are you so late?
Deuce: H-Hey! That's not a way to talk to Madame!
MC: I had to go somewhere unimportant, unfortunately.
Malleus: I see. So that's her. We should introduce ourselves, Lilia— Lilia?
Lilia: *already walking to her direction*
Silver: Fa— I mean, Lilia? Where are you going?
Sebek: Master Lilia!
MC: *turns her attention at the slight commotion*
Lilia: *starts running then tackles her*
Ace and Deuce: !!!
*Both Lilia and MC falls to the floor*
Deuce: Mama! Are you okay?!
Ace: Hey! Lilia! Why are you attacking Madame?!
MC: *groans a little*
Lilia: *sniffles*
MC: ?
Ace and Deuce: Eh?
Silver and Sebek: Lilia!
Lilia: *raised his head, looking at her with tears in his eyes, like a child who has seen his long-lost friend*
Lilia: Oookyyy!!!
MC: ...
Ace: Oooky? Is that supposed to be a name?
Lilia: *sniffles* Oooky! I thought I was never gonna see you!
Deuce: H-He's calling Madame "Oooky"?!!
MC: *frowns* That's the worst nickname I've ever heard in my entire life. And get off me.
*All of the housewardens having a small meeting in one of the rooms*
Leona: So... That's Madame's nickname?
Riddle: Please. It hasn't been confirmed yet if they know each other.
Vil: However, Lilia Vanrouge wouldn't jump off on someone unless he's familiar to them.
Idia: D-Doesn't he like startling everyone?
Malleus: That's way of Lilia being approachable.
Idia: I-If you say so...
Azul: By the way, Kalim? What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with the Madame and see what's going on?
Kalim: She kicked me out.
Jamil: That's because he kept on laughing every time Lilia addressed the Madame with that nickname.
Riddle, Vil, and Leona: *frowns at him*
Kalim: Hey... But Oooky is a cute nickname, y'know...
MC: *walks into the room, together with Lilia* Definitely not, Scarabia housewarden.
Lilia: *smiling* It is, MC. Just like the old times.
Malleus: Madame, I would like to apologize on his behalf.
MC: You must be Malleus Draconia. Nice meeting you.
Lilia: He's your grandson by the way.
Malleus and MC: ...
Malleus: *looks confused*
Leona: That can't be right. What? Is Madame older than the Great Seven?

The descents of the great seven is a good idea and yuu yelling "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!! " Is a story like:
Riddle: "Off With Your head !!!"
Yuu: "angry yuu" WHAT DO YOU MEAN OFF WITH HEAD???,I AM THE ONE SHOULD SAY THAT!!!,
Yuu: *louder than riddle* OFF WITH YOUR HEAD !!!!
Yuu swing their hand and rose maze was cut in half
What’s more, Yuu’s probably going to get mad and offended because what reason is there for Riddle to try and collar them? For breaking the Queen of Heart’s rules? Quite ironic considering they ARE the heir for Queen of Heart’s kingdom. They know all the rules like the back of their hand. Besides, to freak out simply for just questioning the way he runs things… 
Goodness, that won’t do, that won’t do at all! If Yuu’s mother, Alice, heard about this, Riddle would definitely get a stern talking to. Yuu has had met their few share of soldiers back home who were just too rigid with the rules to the point that it hurt themselves and the others around them, it was scary.
Imagine if Yuu, the heir of the Queen of Heart’s kingdom, could just summon the card soldiers at will. At least fighting overblot Riddle’s significantly easier. They probably just give the beheading tasks to the soldiers but they definitely have the ability to do it on their own. They probably won’t cut the rose maze in half, goodness! No need to take their anger out on such beautiful architecture… except for maybe one or two rose bushes…

I don't get why people said watching Riddle sob like a baby at the end of Heartslabyul chapter was embarrasing.
He is a 17 years old boy who just got out of the most traumatic experience he will probably ever get in his life, plus all the weight of his difficult home situation since childhood. It was a perfectly understandable, not to mention healthy, way to let things out.

fem Riddle with a Prince Charming like reader. Like riddles mum approves of the,, riddle is obsessed with how proper they are and how this is like a story book
Riddlepunzel............. orz stuck in her tower under her mother's controlling thumb, but she desperately wants to get out and see the world she's read so much about in history textbooks. Her mother says there's nothing good beyond the tower. Just a world that is vile and filthy. Terrible people who would covet her beautiful hair, who would cut it and take it for themselves, leaving Riddlepunzel with nothing in the end. >_< they'll only hurt her, so she should just stay in the tower with her mother.
But then you come along on a day when her mother steps out to run errands. You're a thief, but Riddlepunzel doesn't know this. She knocks you out with a frying pan and restrains you for interrogation. As she observes you in your unconscious state, she realizes there's a certain charm to you... 🫣 she thought you were a man at first, but you're a girl like her!!!! :O maybe you might be able to show her the world she's only peered out at from her window.
Plot happens, lots of pining, Riddlepunzel's sapphic awakening, Riddlepunzel beating people up with her frying pan (but it's also funny to imagine it's a heavy textbook hehe), the iconic Kingdom Dance scene from Tangled, etc etc and then you live happily ever after in the most fluffiest of love!!!! :D
