THE FIRST TIME I’VE SEEN LOVE.

twisted wonderland ౨ৎ deuce spade. 1.3k words.

warnings : yandere content, mentioned violence. happy birthday deuce !!! ♠

sweet was the first word that came to deuce’s mind when people asked what he thought of you– saccharine, sickening, you were too kind for his heart to handle at times. yet, deuce still let himself over-indulge in your presence. from making sure he’d show up a bit early from when the four two of you would walk to the main campus together, hoping to catch you just a little sleepy still — and a few times he’s gotten lucky and your soft hand was cradled in his palm as you slipped your loafers on — to begging you to tutor him just for a few minutes after classes and before club, because no matter how ‘stupid’ you may think yourself to be, even an outworlder like you is a whole lot smarter than he is– and deuce does genuinely appreciate this help, even if it was just an excuse to see your pretty face contort in frustration, and light up when you figure out a difficult problem, pride evident on your features when he’s amazed and complimenting you.

and though some people didn’t agree with his opinion of you, just for you he tried to ignore them — which, most of the time deuce succeeded. mainly from the fact he’d felt like sebek glorifying malleus when he’d started an argument with someone who thought you were average. but, other times, he’d ended up marking another stain on his ‘model student’ reputation when someone had called you lame, or boring, or stupid– he was those things, sure, but it couldn’t be further from what you were. deuce knows you’d be heartbroken and embarrassed if you knew that’s what a few assholes thought of you, so he scares them into silence to make sure that nasty insults are never able to reach you. and it’s just another reason the two of you work so well together; along with the smoothness of your palms that glides perfectly against his rough ones, and the kindness in your heart that beats down the anger inside of his– the difference between you two should have you avoiding the other, but like magnets, there’s always a pull towards what’s opposite.

deuce is sure you must feel it, too– otherwise there’d be no reason for the scenario playing out for just him. grim (irresponsibly) left with ace for the afternoon, your hands held over his eyes as you try to push his larger frame forward, he can hear the smile in your voice as tell him how excited he’s gonna be with your surprise — and, while deuce would usually be confused at ‘surprise’ (after all, he doesn’t deserve your time nor efforts), his heart is warming and beating faster with every stumble knowing that you’re gifting him something for his special day. you don’t have to, but you still do– you haven’t even known each other that long, yet you’re treating him like one of those dearest to you. and that heavy feeling hits him again, a dizzing idea that you love him too that leaves his stomach fuzzy and twisty — the smell of birthday cake and burning wicks only adding to that. deuce wants to tear your hands from his face, to hold them in a grip that screams he’ll never let go, and kiss you with more emotion than he’s ever shown before.

he doesn’t, though. deuce plays the ‘good’ role, and steadies his thoughts back to simply enjoying what’s about to unfold in front of him — it’s worth it, in the end, seeing the messy spade suit cake, with the writing of ‘happy birthday, deuce!’ accompanied by a blue heart. he doesn’t acknowledge your comment of “ace, and grim helped too!”, because he’s already lost himself again– thinking about your happy expression whisking the batter, and your satisfied smile when you’ve finished piping the icing words, everything brought together once the candles have been placed and lit. you must’ve worn a cute apron, too, and he wonders if you bothered with gloves, or if you accidentally got icing on your face or fingers– something that he’d be grateful to clean off of you, to stick out his tongue against your face and lick it up, or to wrap his tongue around your fingers and gently suck the sweetness off of your digits.

his cheeks burn pink from the mental imaginings, and he lets out an embarrassed cough when you’re “calling deucey back to twisted wonderland” — right, he’s having a small celebration with you before he’s having his party back at heartslabyul, he should be cherishing this alone time with you instead of thinking about being alone with you. “t-thank you, prefect. i appreciate you! .. and your kindness.” he does, he really fucking does, and he appreciates that toothy grin and urge him to make a wish because you want to know if your present will be accurate to his wants– his heart almost stops completely thinking that you might just spill out your own .. before you slide a gift box onto the table, and fidget your fingers as you explain that it’s not much, but you really thought he’d like it when you’d seen it while out; and deuce’s takeaway from that is you think about him when you go shopping. it’s knowledge almost as good as a love confession.

but he squeezes his eyes shut, hopes and prays as he pictures you saying ‘i love you, deuce!’ to be what he receives, and quickly blows every candle out. you’re still idly standing by, the ghost camera in your hands as a film pops out– you want to capture this moment with him, you explain, and he wonders if you’ve photographed him when he had his back turned, or eyes closed, before. deuce tries to be gentle with the gift, and he carefully peels the tape from the sides, silently pleading for the wrapping paper to not tear so he can keep it forever — there’s excitement alongside his anxiety as he places his hands at the sides of the lid, you nod and mouth ‘open it!’ as you raise the camera once more to capture his first reaction–

–and he thinks it’s the cutest thing he’s ever seen. and he knows to not trust the words of ‘it’s not much’ from you ever again. there’s a little family of hedgehogs, one blue and one red, and then there’s a little purple one in between them. there’s card with his name written so neatly it could only be your hand writing, and there’s a scrapbook that has all of you on the cover (though, he focuses on the fact the two of you are touching cheeks in the cramped photo). deuce thinks he might cry as he looks up, and over at you, a wide grin already on his face as he contemplates running over to you and squeezing you tight before he even looks further — “the hedgehogs are us! you’re the blue, and i’m the red,” if that’s so, then the purple must be– “.. and the, uh, purple is grim?”– grim. right, grim was what he was thinking.

even though this isn’t exactly what deuce wanted from you, nor is it the same as he pictured in his head when making the wish ... it is basically a confession from you, no? a wordless one, yet there’s even more meaning behind it than the three words he was looking to receive. you laugh when tears sprout from his eyes and make their way down his cheeks, leaving two small stains on the card (thankfully missing the writing), and you give your own sniffle when he flips through the scrapbook you’d put together– which, is mainly made up of you and him, and he has a serious tone when he turns to you and promises to forever keep and cherish it.

deuce spade will never fall out of love with you, and maybe one day you’ll say you’ve fallen in love with him.

What happens to my twst😭😭

[idollandhero]

I think in a year we'll look back at our time with Idol Land and think of it like a weird dream. A time when there wasn't a Pretty Series show announced and everything was in limbo. A time where King of Prism was a dead franchise. A time when songs were performed at Pretty Series live shows that wouldn't premier in the anime for years. The game teaser in every single Pretty Series announcement only for it to be delayed again. The YEARS long gap between episodes 2 and 3. The DISASTROUS launch. When we realized it was just a reskinned version of the switch game. Or when we discovered that it was mostly made by some unrelated dev who had only made one failed mobile otome game before Idol Land.

The Pretty Series' pivot to focusing on AiPri & KinPri instead of Idol Land & DanPri makes the past few years of Idol Land content, and the past less than a year of Idol Land actually being out, feel like an illusion.

It's frustrating because the concept of a PriPara mobile game sounds fantastic! When I play games like SIF2 or Idolish7 or whatever I think about what could have been. Was it money problems? or time problems? Or some combination of both. Regardless I can't help but yearn for a game with a budget that this franchise deserves.

And the web anime was great! But only 12 episodes, and its own budget problems, plus the games delay keeping it finished and in limbo for 2 years! (+ the lack of any western fansubs picking it up, seriously how is do we still only have subs for up to episode 6) meant that it never got the place in the spotlight it deserved. Some people speculated that it was meant to air on TV because the episodes are formatted as such, but with AiPri starting in that slot the same month the show is ending that doesn't seem to be true.

It's hard to say where PriPara is going from here. It's the series 10th anniversary and the arcade game is being shuttered to push players towards AiPri Verse instead. Idol Land's anime finale is going to air to little applause because it's stuck on an app with less than 20,000 active users, and in the same month as the launch of the new series that's slated to be a real PreCure competitor.

Idol Land's EOS hasn't been announced yet, but the missing Nino birthday coord, the April monthly update with entirely rerun coords, and the fact that Idol Land is getting very VERY close to running out of content from the switch game. Well, if not EOS I expect this game to go into maintenance mode pretty soon.

Yeah idk what my point here was exactly, but man Idol Land really was a blur. Sometimes I think we understate exactly how inexperienced the devs really were. The game doesn't have any type of Google Play integration, and when the game launched the account recovery only lasted 15 minutes. I have a newer phone and the game isn't compatible with my hole punch front camera. There's just a black bar there. I only have this problem with older games, anything made in the last 4 years doesn't have this problem except for Idol Land. I honestly think the lack of region locking is because the dev doesn't know how to turn it on. Someone on discord reported that they've been buying gold, and then contacting Google and asking for a Play Store refund. It's worked multiple times and they are not banned. How is a ban for chargebacks not something they implemented day one. Also this game doesn't have any deals or discounts, ever. It's hard to believe that, like every game I've ever played has a buy two and get 50% off the second one bundle. But it's like the devs don't know how to implement anything past basic gacha mechanics. I could also ramble about how expensive the prices are, but I've done it before I won't do it again. Also the photo room, it's implemented pretty badly. You upload a photo for the background and it crops it weird and squishes it and makes it blurry. I didn't know this at launch because it was a paid feature for like six months. The pass itself was a horrible value unless you were buying it specifically to get the episodes early, you got exactly how the amount of gold you paid for. Why not just buy the gold then. But they either realized that, or were preparing for end of service; because they took it down. I'm rambling about things the devs messed up but I haven't even mentioned the first three months of the game. There's been so many points in this game's history where playing a promise was borderline impossible for one reason or another. This game didn't feel finished until that November update that included immediate promises. God there's so much more. The photo competitions just being about editing for some reason. Also they went away, so clearly those didn't work. The amount of coords they've implemented that were broken in some way. Sometimes it was the wrong coord entirely, sometimes the cylume didn't work. It's like the dev team is so small that there's no QA people. Also on that note, Open Dream Land was just fixed in the mid March update. The game went more than 6 months where one of its two unique charts was off sync. Also remember the voice bug, that lasted forever.

I'm sorry I just started rambling lmao. This is the problem when I write posts with speech to text, I say way too much. Ultimately I enjoyed my time with Idol Land, but it's existence feels surreal. Especially because 80% of the features from this game I can turn on my switch after end of service and play, and it's free because I already paid once and never have to pay again. I even have Waku Waku O'Clock on Switch. One day, probably soon from the way things are going, I'm going to wake up and not be able to play Idol Land on my phone ever again. But instead of reminiscing of this game, I will think about the game that could have been if Idol Land got as much love as Prism Rush did.

I'm curious let's go

Who would win in a no-holds barred battle between your Tumblr icon and your Discord icon?

My tumblr icon would win

My discord icon would win

They'd tie

They would make out sloppy style instead

I don't have discord/I'm bald/other infinitely nuanced answer

[prismstonearchives]

Are there any other games like PriPara and Aikatsu?

honestly the only one i can think of off the top of my head is otocadoll, which ended service in 2022 (and stopped receiving updates in 2017). im sure my followers who are much more knowledgeable about these series can interject!

[prismstonearchives]

fluffydreamland said: Love and Berry is kinda similar,Some people call it the mother of the idol dressup rythmm genre

this has a bunch of outfits on it! it is... VERY mid-2000s. not in a bad way though

[burningnonono]

There used to be some "Aikatsu-like" (looking at some gameplay videos is self explanatory) but both are discontinued

Nono's thoughts on TWST manga #1 in French

Hello everyone!!! I'm pulling out my good ol' Tumblr acc because I will write some long stuff!!

Tomorrow, the first volume of the TWST manga, Episode of Heartslabyul, is releasing in France!

However, I learnt from some friends that it is in fact already available in some libraries, so of COURSE I couldn't wait! And as I already own the American edition, that my sister brought be from her school trip to NYC a few weeks prior the Twst manga announcement in French, I'd like to compare the two editions.

I have to say I am very moved to have in my hands an official piece of Twisted Wonderland content in French. I'm so used to some silly translations between my friends and I that seeing the true stuff... Wow... I'm writing this before actually opening the manga so let's see if I'll want to fight the translators.

I don't speak Japanese at all so I can't compare with the Japanese version, sorry.

This post will of course spoil the whole volume, so don't read it if you don't want any spoilers because I love to go into details!

For 13 euros, I got the limited edition:tm: of the "Disney Twisted Wonderland ~La Maison Heartslabyul~ 1". We can already see the manga is normal sized compared to the American edition, and let's dive into the Artbook

It's 40 pages of fancy illustration, with, for each Heartslabyul member :

their fullbody dorm render

their ceremony render

their 2nd birthday fullbody

their 1st birthday illustration

their 1st birthday groovy (on a double page)

A very appreciated bonus indeed (I never zoomed on those cards that much)

Now, let's look at the manga before opening it!!!

As most manga, there's some part of the cover we can remove. Under it, the design is red, with a fancy checkerboard pattern. Behind the 4th cover, there's the illustration of a key.

The bookmark section has some commentaries of the writer and artist of the book, where they're at the end of the book on the American version. The bookmark also has a "start" sign drawn on it, which I think is very cute.

~ First Chapter and Table of Contents ~

The French version of the manga includes the bonus illustration part in the summary, unlike the US version.

Only the first page with all the housewarden and the title is colored in the FR ver, unlike the US ver which also has colors for the first pages with Crowley talking ominously.

I recall the name of chapters rhyming in the JP version of the game, and while not all the chapter names on the FR manga rhymes, they all sounds very very cool, with some sick alliterations.

No one fucking cares but the US and FR translations don't use the same font lol.

The French version leaves the japanese onomatopoeia and just translates it under it, unlike the US version that directly replaces them with the English equivalent. The work on words placement in the French version is cooler in my opinion. Also the FR version has a translator note to explain what the hell those kendo words are.

The US version calls Yu's move "a menkaeshimen", while the FR version translates it as "counterattacking a "men" with another "men"", which makes it more clear for the audience, as I'm here for the handsome Disney boys and not the kendo part.

Koito calls Yu "Enma." in the US version while he says "Ah, S... Senpaï..." in the FR version. He stutters more in the FR version.

He also "vouvoies" Yu. "Vous" is a second person pronoun used either for a group of person, or someone you respect, like an adult or something. It's unusual between students in France, but it makes sense for the JP student dynamics I assume?

Dark Mirror is translated as Miroir des Ténèbres (Darkness' Mirror).

After coming out of the gate, Yuken's wonder in the EN version what are those "weird guys in capes", while in the FR version, he wonders who are those "weird guys in ceremony robes". My guy why are you so specific.

Also they call the gates "doors".

Night Raven College is translated as Académie Night Raven (Night Raven Academy) in the dialogue (the logo of the school still features Night Raven College written). NRC would roughly be in France the equivalent of an Highschool, but it doesn't sounds nearly as cool as Académie. I wonder how it'll go when RSA will appears.

the Orientation is called Cérémonie d'Ouverture (Opening Ceremony).

A very little detail, since it's just a different formulation of something that has the same idea, but Kalim says this year already will be full of surprises, HAHAHA YOU HAVE NO IDEAAAS.

We all love "l'unique, le seul, et le futur grand magicien... Grimm le magnifique!" wait a sec-

Grim has been translated into Grimm.

I'M STUNNED THEY ADDED AN M TO THE KITTY UWAAAAA.

Grim says he can do a lot when he put his "paw" on the dough. Putting our hand on the dough is a common French saying to say we work on something, I think it's very cute we get some puns like that.

Remember that part about "vous" and the 2nd person pronoun ? Well while in the US version, Riddle gets angry at Yu for calling him "kid", here Riddle gets angry because Yu uses "tu" (unformal 2nd person pronoun. one you would normally use on a fellow teen if the fellow teen wasn't on an ego trip).

I don't have enough Disney knowledges to know if the Disney citations are identical to the movie ones.

Grimm the punmaster is back with another paw version of a common saying.

Off with your head is translated as Qu'on lui coupe la tête. The phrase is just as iconic in French as it's in English, so of course they translated it. I would have done the same tbh.

Grammatical moment to mention that Yu says he's now "à Twisted Wonderland". I expected him to say "au Twisted Wonderland", but I don't know much about grammar and it could be a stylistic décision that don't fit my aesthetic.

Very little detail but Riddle says Yu's enter is ruining "our rules" to Trey and Cater, and not just "the rules", like in the English version. It's an interesting take on his character, I like the dorm spirit.

I just noticed the Dark Mirror rhymes !!! In both EN and FR version.

Housewarden are called Gardien de la maison. It's the literal translation but it sounds sooo bad... Here's some translations I've seen in fanworks : - Prefect / I think that's how Housewardens are called in real life English college anyways? but yeah it ends up being the same as our Yu - Magistrate / pun on magic + you immediately understand it's a high position - "Délégué" (Class Rep) / average word you'd see about a high position student in a real HS.

In the FR version, Yu says to the Ghost Trio that he always wanted to have roommates, where he just says he's happy to meet them as their new roommate in the US ver.

"Your little "fairytale" will never be real". Ace I love your choice of words but you're such a bastard ♥.

Ace dumb nickname for Deuce is "Douce" (feminine version of sweet/soft). Makes sense.

Great Seven is translated into Sept Majestueux (Majestic Seven). Everything is better when you put some magi-sounding word in stuff! I like this translation.

Queens of Heart -> Reine de Coeur King of Beasts -> Roi des Animaux (King of Animals) Sea Witch -> Sorcière des Mers Sorcerer of the Sands -> Sorcier du Désert King of the Underworld -> Maître des Enfers (Master of Hells) Thorn Fairy -> Fée des Ronces

Magestone -> Pierre magique (Magic Stone). Well, it is what it is. I translated it as Magilithe in the translation of the game I started from my sister for some extra fancy points but I understand they can't just change everything lol. The "pierre" is sometimes substitued with any synonym of it, like Roche (rock) or Caillou (Pebble, by Ace).

Headmage -> Doyen (Dean). It do gives "fancy British school" vibes.

I'm really sorry but Crowley going "you're their guardian so here what they did" sounds so silly bc it kinda makes it sounds like Riddle is the legal guardian of his dormmates... Daddy Riddle...

I don't have much to say about the final chapter, so I'll conclude with how happy I am to have this manga! Trying to get the manga as early as possible and checking every difference in translations reminds me of my Yo-kai Watch era.

In one of the final pages of the FR version, there's a little preview of the next volume. No dates are announced for it sadly, but I'll wait patiently.

I emptied my bedroom to repaint my walls so I had to empty all my bookshelves. Now, only true quality writing is available in my room.

Riddle and Deuce are tied-in for the place of my fav Twst character, and Ace is the happy 3rd guy of my podium, so this is an amazing day for me.

Thank you so much if you read up to there!!

Do you think humans in twisted wonderland have periods? What if they don't...

What if AFAB!Yuu is the only one in twisted wonderland to have periods and it freaks everyone out

Evolutionarily speaking it would make sense for the humans in twisted wonderland to reabsorb the unused egg for extra fuel for magic

[cw] - discussion of periods/afab!Yuu but still written as gn [wc} - 1,792 Added the rest under readmore as it got a bit long. I think there's a fic somewhere on here with this idea, but I can't remember the blog or name, I'll edit and link it later if I find it. I can see the point of the egg being reabsorbed, though personally I think TWST humans are biologically the same as Earth humans, minus the ones with magic maybe having a bit stronger/heighten senses and strengths. After all, there are plenty of humans who aren't magic, I think it's mentioned some point in their book 2 or book 5 that a majority of the population is either magicless or aren't privy to the privilege of formal magical education.

Even if a majority of the human population is magic, there's still a good chunk of them that don't and if that's the case then they at least would have periods.

However, that's explicitly the human population, and in reality it makes absolutely no sense for beastmen or merfolk to have periods. Especially when they have things like heat/ruts or mating cycles. Fae I think would actually make the most sense for the headcanon you're mentioning! They are completely and utterly magic, made from the magic of the earth, animals, and flora given sentience and forms. They are utterly magic, through, and through, so it would make sense for those with uteri to recycle the egg back into them for magical fuel.

And say we're going with the assumption that there are no other afab students in the school, or there are, but they're only beastmen, merfolk, and/or fae, then an afab!Yuu comes as quite a shock.

The beastmen are the first to notice something off with them, as they have the most acute sense of smell. This is followed by a very close second with the merfolk (particularly the predacious ones) and an even closer third by the fae. All the boys from those dorms, minus Lilia who's lived long enough to know what a period is, clock in on their friend who reeks of blood and flesh (because you're also shedding pieces of your uterine lining).

Lord help you, as you're in a crowded area, the cafeteria, with not only them but the rest of their classmates that also smell your blood, because their immediate thought is that you're fucking dying.

Sebek is surprisingly the first to launch himself at you, shouting at the top of his lungs, “WHERE IS YOUR INJURY HUMAN?! YOU ARE SEVERELY INJURED YOU SHOULD BE IN THE INFIRMARY—” Before he is yanked off by a wide-eyed Jack, who's looking more and more like the dead as he leans down to sniff at you.

The blood from his face drains (ha) as he turns to look at Leona and Ruggie, as well as a small group of other beastmen—friend's you've made during the tournament—and nods. This causes them to all look horrified and gaze at you like a wounded puppy. Minus Leona, who just looks amused.

“It's coming from them.”

Still confused, you stare at the Heartslabyul group—who'd been eating breakfast with you—in bewilderment. They also look at you in confusion, except for Riddle, the latter of which pinches the bridge of his noses and takes a deep sigh.

“I think you're all being a bit dramatic, they're just on their—”

“DRAMATIC? I DON'T THINK YOU'RE BEING DRAMATIC ENOUGH!”

Floyd grabs you from behind, spinning you and shoving his face so close to yours that you noses are smushed together.

“Shrimpy… you gotta tell me who did it, cause I could tell from aaaaall the way in the hallway that ya hurt. Com'on! Tell Floydie, I promise I won't be mad.”

Jade placed a hand on his brother's shoulder as he leans down to chastise Floyd.

“Not now Floyd, the poor thing is hurt, we should take them to the infirmary. Then we can hunt down the dreadful soul that hurt our friend and have them trade their spot.”

You felt yourself being lifted from the ground, yelping and latching your arms around Floyd's neck as he cradles you in his arms. Effectively yanking you from Jack's grip, who immediately growls.

“Floyd! Be careful!”

“Ehhh? Yeah that sounds like a great idea! Let's go now, I'm itching for a good fight, ayhehehe!”

Leona and Riddle shared a look, the former sighed to try and explain.

“Look you idiots, they're not injured, they're—”

“What are you waiting for?” Ruggie interrupted him, annoyed by Leona's unconcerned attitude, instead gesturing to Floyd. “Let's go before they bleed out even more!”

The small group clamored out of the cafeteria, a few more concerned students following after them as they started to hear bits and pieces of the conversation. Leaving Leona and the others in the dust. Deuce piped up.

“… Uh, do they not know—”

“No, most beastmen aren't familiar with periods.”

“I'm guessing merfolk and fae don't either, based on the twins and Sebek.” Riddle sighed, feeling sorry for you.

Leona's ears perked as he heard the shrill shriek of a certain octopus in the distance. Riddle and the others also seemed to hear it as they winced.

“Probably not…”

“…”

“… should we?”

“Yeah, we probably should, before my boys wreck the school. Let's get Crewel.”

It took a whole hour of you reassuring the small crowd that had formed around your bed in the infirmary before anyone calmed down. Floyd and Jade were being constantly pulled back into the infirmary by the ear by the nurse, who kept telling the two to stop trying to go beat up the imaginary person that, quote unquote, “hurt you”.

“What do you mean Shrimpy isn't hurt? I can smell the blood from all the way down the hall!”

“Yes, it's quite a potent scent, and distinct to our dear Prefect.” Jade held his hand to his chest as he sniffled. “We've smelled it before when they've gotten hurt, but this is a whole different level.”

“Yeah! Almost all of Savanaclaw could smell it” Ruggie nodded in agreement as Jack followed.

“They must be really hurt if we all could smell it from that far away! You need to help them nurse!”

Their voice's grew again in volume, Sebek in particular, as he vowed to also hunt down the “ruffian who would dare harm a fellow student on the campus Master Malleus attended!”

The nurse, growing more and more annoyed trying to corral the group (she wondered how ethical it would be to use a silencing spell and another to stick them to the ceiling), sighed in relief as the echo of Crewel's whip commanded immediate silence.

“Oh, thank the Sundrop, Professor Crewel, please control them. I am up to here with their foolishness—”

“Foolish? The Prefect might be dying!” Azul cried out, surprisingly attached to your side. She'd tried to yank him off of you earlier, but was met with a shocking amount of strength as his grip on the metal bed frame caused an Azul-sized hand indent to form. His strength, easy to forget in his slender frame. Now, he was trying his best to coax the name of the student responsible with promises of free drinks and discounted food.

“No I'm not!” You cried out in exasperation. “I've been trying to tell you, but y'all won't listen!”

As you tried to get up from the bed, trapped in a blanket cocoon made by Azul, the boys started up again. Half urging you to stay in bed and rest, while the other half argued with the nurse, and now Crewel, about healing you up.

A near ear-shattering rumble of thunder caused another silence to fall over everyone. This time, though, the group shrunk into themselves as Malleus, standing proud and tall, entered the room. Sebek perked up, rushing over to meet him.

“Young Master! I've ensured that the human was taken to the infirmary, but so far they've refused any healing—”

“Thank you, Sebek. I will speak to them myself.”

Malleus, his school jacket flourishing behind him (one of the students murmured that he felt like a background character in a romance movie), flew to your side. Where you had been squirming your upper body out of the blanket cocoon, smacking at Azul's hands as he kept attempting to swaddle you back in.

Now freed waist up, you turned to face Malleus, who had elegantly kneeled down by your bedside (you could hear Sebek muffled a shriek) and held your hand like a delicate piece of china.

“Child of Man, my friend, what happened? Are you alright? Did someone hurt you?” Malleus cooed at you, green eyes peering into yours, full of concern.

So it was a surprise to everyone in the room when you groaned, which morphed into a soft scream.

“Uh… Child of Man?”

“I'm fiiiiiine!” You sighed, slumping back into the bed. “I'm just on my period, you guys.”

The room remained quiet, a bit too quiet as you lifted your head back up to look at the room of confused looking men. Crewel had a hip cocked as he looked unimpressed over the crowd. The nurse was rubbing her temples. You heard Azul clear his throat, drawing his attention as he asked,

"What's a period?"

Finally, the crowd had settled, all of them huddled around your bed as you tried your best to explain what a menstral cycle was.

"So you like, bleed every month? Randomly?"

"Amount 28 days, so once a month yeah. And now it's not random, it's part of the reproductive cycle. It's my body preps for a new egg—"

"But, I though humans didn't lay eggs?" Floyd asked, leaning against Azul's right shoulder.

"We don't, it's different the egg turns into a baby itself so there's no egg to lay—"

Ruggie spoke up, "We get that, but I don't get why the egg makes you bleed? It can't do that can it?"

"No, no, no. It's not the egg itself, it's my body. In order for the egg to get fertilize it needs a good environment to grow, so the uterus grows a fresh lining once a month for the egg to latch on to, so—"

You sighed as once of the other fae students interrupted.

"Fresh lining? Like, the skin? Of the uterus?"

You nodded, trying to keep your patience as you attempted to explain to your friends that, no, you were in fact not bleeding to death.

"Yes, that's the blood, the skin is shedding to make a fresh one for the next egg."

You don't think it's working, as that last sentence caused a wave of mortifcation amongst the crowd.

"That... sounds like it hurts." Malleus, still holding your hand, softly asked. "You're not hurting though, correct?"

Pursing your lips, you looked up at the ceiling, avoiding eye contact. Wow had that cobweb always been in that corner?

"Yuu."

Malleus's voice, calling out your name for once, was full of questioning.

"Yeah Horns?"

"it doesn't hurt, correct?"

You started whistling a little tune, studying the dirt under your nails.

"Dear Prefect," Jade this time. "Answer the question?"

The group leaned in closer as you grumbled under your breath.

"Speak up Shrimpy."

".........not always."

"Come on, stop being shy, you act like a puppy most of the time" Ruggie was getting annoyed.

".....cramps..not move...not always."

"It's okay Yuu, you can say it." Azul cooed.

"...Sometimes the cramps makes it hurt too much to move, but not always."

You braced yourself as the crowd once again riled up.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT HURTS TOO MUCH TO MOVE?"

The nurse off to the side still, leaned over to tell Crewel, "I told you we needed an interspecies health class."

hehe this was fun, comments appreciated. I may be inclined to write more since writing different between species like this is fun

RINNA REQUENSF ARE OPEN WHAT I has,,, ideas rinna,, my boy,,,

so rvery summer my school would have a fun little carnival fun raiser and stuff so what if we took riddle to a cute little carnival I'm justing thinking of that one ferris wheel scene every romance anime has,,, 💕💕💕💕

a textbook guide to an amusement park date

Pairing: Riddle Rosehearts x gn!reader

Synopsis: taking your rule-abiding boyfriend to an amusement park is a surprisingly fun experience to say the least

Tags: fluff, amusement park date, reader rides rollercoasters

Word count: 845

Notes: since i just finished playful land, i decided to take riddle to playful land minus the plot twist evil stuff haha

i hope you like this amari <3

it takes a lot of convincing to get riddle to accept to a full-day date in an amusement park

heck, the moment the words left your mouth, riddle froze and smiled awkwardly, having been ingrained to him that amusement parks were 'a waste of time and money where people go and slack off'

still, he was always ready to try new experiences and get rid of any incorrect prejudices he might have

more so to you, his beloved rose who began pouting when he expressed his concerns about a suspicious place such as playful land

but whaat?? if he won't go with you, you'll go with ace and the others???

how can he even trust them to protect you??? there's no way

is the reasoning he told you, but his inner child undeniably wants to go as well

he studies up on all the available information on amusement parks so he'll have an idea of what to expect

also asks cater for advice as to what couples generally do and what spots are recommended

he wants to give you the best experience possible too of course!

once you're actually in the park, it's time to have fun!!

riddle plans the most efficient route so the two of you can make the most of the day

starting early with the rollercoaster ride! just in case any of you decide to throw up

"I still don't understand the appeal of these... contraptions. It seems rather reckless and disorderly," he says hesitantly, his gaze fixated on the twist and turns of the rollercoaster.

"Hmm... It's really for the thrill and excitement. I guess you can think of it as an experience for non-mages who can't fly on brooms?" You hum.

Riddle nods thoughtfully, though the apprehension in his eyes doesn't quite fade. "I see your point, but I still can't help but question the safety of this entire endeavor."

"Just relax, Riddle. Sometimes it's good to let go and have a little chaos in life." You giggle at his seriousness.

Riddle smiles softly at your enthusiasm, his cheeks tinted pink. "Well, I suppose there's no harm in trying it once. For the sake of this... date."

surprisingly(?), riddle enjoyed the rollercoaster!

his hair is all disheveled, and his clothes are semi-wet, but there's no denying the innocent sparkle in his eyes, akin to a child who discovered a new toy

like the gentleman that he is, he helped you fix your hair and lent you his handkerchief to dry yourself

says he's fine but his face becomes as red as his hair when you wipe him down

after that, you guys grab food, and there are so many strawberry sweets there he's very excited

sharing food and him getting embarrassed about indirect kissing hehehe

then it's back to the other attractions!

if anyone dares cut in line, they'll be in for a scolding from riddle who immediately says that it's against the rules AND illegal because you're jeoparadising other guests' enjoyment of the park :⁠0

riddle feels like the merry go round is a bit too childish, but seeing you enjoy yourself melts all his worries away

you're both beginners at pool, so it's kinda just you two fumbling around while riddle tries to use physics to understand how to play and oh!!! he got one in!!

cater told him that couples always go to the stall minigames and win prizes for their partners as a way of showing off

and riddle would never deny the chance to show he's a capable lover!

he very quickly discovers that these games are incredibly rigged (⁠ノ⁠｀⁠Д⁠´⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

but thanks to Cay Cay's incredible advice, Riddle does manage to win a medium strawberry plushie!

when you comment that the shade of red is the exact shade of his hair and you'd sleep with it every night he died inside

around sunset, riddle leads you to the ferris wheel

the vibrant blue sky started to fade into hues of orange and pink and you sat in the cart admiring the view of the park and sage island

"My Rose," he starts, making you turn your focus to him. "I... I wanted to thank you for inviting me here today," Riddle's words carrying a sincerity that warmed the evening air.

"It's my pleasure, Riddle," you smile. "I'm glad you were able to enjoy yourself,"

He nods, looking out over the landscape as the ferris wheel gently ascends. "It's more than that though..." He continues, his tone a bit more relaxed now, "Ever since I met you, you've always given me a better perspective on so many things. You've given me so many precious memories..."

Your heart swells at his words, and you reach for his hand. "Riddle, I'm glad I met you too. I'm grateful for every moment we've shared."

Riddle blushes at your words. "If it's with you... then I'm sure every day will be exciting," he finishes, locking eyes with you and wearing a heartfelt smile on his face.

Ace: So… I’ve seen you’ve been spending a lot of time with Yuu/MC recently.

Deuce: No, Ace, it's not what it looks like, I swear.

Ace: Oh really? So no reason for me to be jealous?

Deuce: No! You’re the only one for me.

Ace: Is that so?

Deuce: I promise! Yuu/MC and I are just dating, okay? They’re my partner.

Ace: So there are no best-friends-feelings involved?

Deuce: You are still my one and only best friend! They’re just the love of my life, nothing more!

Ace: But I’m still the platonic love of your life, right?

Deuce: Of course bro!

Ace: Bro...

Yuu/MC: What the-
