I have been looking for this post for YEARS after I lost the piece of paper I’d copied down that mug brownie onto when we moved. THANK YOU FOR REBLOGGING, MY NIGHT JUST GOT 100% MORE CHOCOLATEY
duke always had powers but no one knows when cass started to control the shadows to her will
Steph ears are just a little too pointy for comfort and her giggle seems to ring in the night, no sees her tricks untill it is to late
Babs no longer repeates herself when convincing people to do believe her and always knows when someone is in danger
Selina no longer has to use fake claws when out as catwoman her nails are both long, sharp and stong enough to be considered daggers
duke is diffrent but you can see him become more comfortable in the dark like his sibling leaving many to wonder when Signal stoped being light and playing just a little bit more dirty as he licked the blood of his red stained teeth
damian is a weird mix of talia's demon like traits and bruces criptics making him seem to shine among his peers as he grows growls and animalist po
tim, fending off a feral damian wildly swinging a katana at his head and a looming jason who is trying to take out his kneecaps and pin him to the ground: I dunno about everyone else but I think they’re brother shaped
real
also you bet your ass that jason messages with ideas for more content, tim and oracle fight over being the first one to like/comment, - and dick shows the account to every body he meets and forces them to follow via his puppy dog eyes (a weapon banned by the geneva convention<3)
let's give it up for emotionally constipated women. let's give it up for women who can't think about being vulnerable without throwing up in their mouth a little. let's give it up for women who don't have the words to say what they feel even if they wanted to
Summary: Ramshackle looks at you, a child worn and scared, and takes you into its abode. Maybe, one day, you will think of it as a home.
Ramshackle Dorm used to go by another name.
It's been so long that it didn't remember the name it used to go by.
Once a well-known dorm with bustling students and magic abound.
Gradually, other dorms appeared, and the dorm's students waned.
Over time, there were no students at all.
With time, the upkeep stopped.
Till it was forgotten.
The dorm grew dormant.
It didn't see a need to keep awake.
So imagine its surprise when a child showed up one day.
Worn and scared with the headmaster. It didn't understand why the headmaster couldn't take you to the other dorms, nor did it understand why he left you with the intruding cat and the ghosts who made themselves home centuries ago.
Maybe your stay would be temporary. There would be no way that the headmaster would leave a young one like you in such a decrepit place for a long time.
It hoped.
When you cried in the middle of the night, it wished it could turn on the hearth or close the holes in the walls to comfort you, give you warmth.
You and your cat gave it a new name.
Ramshackle Dorm.
In times past, it would be a name it would have scorned.
But now? It couldn't.
Not when you affectionately gave it to them.
And especially not when you quietly whispered, "We've both been abandoned, huh?"
You patted the walls. It could feel your trembling hands, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you. I got you."
That was when it knew it would carry the name with pride, and it would care for you and your little cat.
Ramshackle didn't care for when the redhead disturbed your sleep, but seeing you perk up it let the rude one slide.
When you came back injured from a tournament, it couldn't help but worry.
Why did you have to get hurt?
It wished it had extra blankets it could give you during the cold.
If only it had magic like centuries ago.
When you got kicked out of your home, yes, your home, by two students from Octavinelle.
Ramshackle Dorm did not let it slide.
The audacity to hurt one of its own? How dare they?
It made sure the twins suffered from broken floors and unopened doors.
Their screams and yelps were heard long into the night.
You had walks with Malleus Draconia nowadays.
He as a student it knew well. Someone who admired the dorm even in its decrepit state.
It approved of you making more friends.
Two souls lost and alone would make great friends.
When you didn't return home after your kitchen duties, the fairies from the kitchen told of your whereabouts.
Ramshackle eased when you returned home.
But it couldn't help the worry when it saw the burn marks on you.
It didn't care for the extra guests that came to stay at their home.
Nor the criticisms or downgrading comments about its condition.
How dare these young ones take for granted the land on which they stand?
If they knew the truth, they wouldn't be speaking such disgraceful words.
It didn't like these new students.
"We'll be having new guests for a while," you patted it gently on the walls, "Only for a little bit, okay? Then we can doll you up a little more from the prize money."
But you did it for your home, so it saw no reason to cause them trouble.
…maybe it'd play some tricks to get you to smile, and as a form of revenge.
Ramschackle was content to see you surrounded by your peers.
A happier aura to your usual manner.
It was furious.
Intruders.
Intruders broke into its dwelling and not only took those in its care, but also hurt you and took the students??
How dare such a crime be committed on their sacred grounds?
Grim and the students tried their best to fight back, but they couldn't against powers stronger than them.
Ramshackle could only helplessly observe as they were taken.
That day, The Ramshackle dorm made a decision.
It would not stand by and watch anymore.
It started gathering magic and its dwelling changed: rooms once locked opened, land once barren started growing, cracking walls mended-but it wasn't quick enough.
The magic needed to awaken its powers would take a while.
The portal to the dorm still lay dormant.
It was thanks to ancient Draconia magic that Ramschackle was able to gather magic more quickly.
The Magic of nature more healing than any other kind.
It wasn't happy for the trouble the dragon heir gave you.
But it would give him a pass, since he was long a companion of the dorm and a friend of yours.
Now, it could plan.
Ramshackle Dorm settled quietly.
The young ones had a sleepover today.
Laughter and jokes in the air.
It had missed this feeling.
The ghosts made sure everyone was covered in blankets, while it closed the windows and the curtains.
It increased the flames in the hearth, making sure the young ones slept comfortably.
What a lovely home it had become.
Now that time had passed by, and it had recovered its magic.
It was time to talk to the magic mirror.
Its students needed the protection, and a new founder needed to be placed.
You would have a place here for however long you called it home.
For that's what it would be.
Your home.
In the mirror chamber, the Dark Mirror awakens, beckoned by magic it doesn't recognize.
A proud and esteemed one has been chosen.
One whose power is veiled with the power of darkness.
The fairest and proudest flower of evil.
In Hall of Mirrors, the sound of rumblings is heard.
What once was a wall broke, revealing a mirror concealed for centuries.
The campus thrums with energy.
Only those tuned into magic would notice.
A message was sent to all.
A dorm that had long slept has now awakened.
A new founder has been chosen.
Now, Night Raven College will welcome them anew:
The Prefect and their Ramschackle Dorm
Happy 6th Anniversary to Twisted Wonderland!!! 💕🌺💚 Thank you for six wonderful years to this amazing game that opened my world to an amazing story, helped me meet friends, inspires me in so many ways, and literally changed me in so many ways. 🥰💞💚
I had this finished earlier but then I kept adding onto it more and had more ideas/easter eggs to tack on, and then time escaped me lolol 😂😂
Some Notes:
I love the idea of Ramshackle Dorm being alive and caring for you.
I used the pronouns “it” for Ramschackle Dorm and struggled a bit. It was the first time I used ‘it’ so many times as a pronoun. But I like to think it came across well.
Ramshackle Dorm is limited in knowledge that’s why most of its perspective is limited. It only knows what you go through when you are at home and when you talk about it there. Even so, as a sentient being in-tuned with magic it can communicate with others, like fairies, about what is going on but it needs magic.
The burn marks in book 4 is alluding to Yuu getting burns from the dessert and Jamil’s ob.
I also love the idea of the twins having trouble at ramshackle for kicking us out in book 3.
And book 5, it would not be happy about the criticisms either lolol
Malleus has ramshackle approval because he visited. He was another constant companion.
The sleepover scene technically takes place after Grim’s new SSR, but it can be read alone.
The lines that is spoken to the Dark Mirror is a combination of the lines Crowley speaks in the prologue and the Dark Mirror lines when you summon a SSR.
Ramshackle Dorm lines are more caring and respectful towards you than Crowley’s are because it cares for you while Crowley’s version gives more of a “cold” attitude.
Speaking of the Dark Mirror, it didn’t recognize Ramshackle dorm magic because the dorm has been dormant for centuries. The mirror only has been sorting for the past 100 years and this was a way to show it and even that the Dark Mirror doesn’t know everything.
I have been having so many ideas that’s Yuu/MC related 😂😂💞💞 literally my 1k+ works has been mainly focused on them. But I love it, there’s so much you can do with them and different characters and all the possibilities.
I like to think all the dorms and magic infused areas are ‘sentient’ to a degree. Something about magic and nature you know? Gives that feeling of being alive. In reality, everything is filled with life in nature. For example, animals and plants. Hence why something like magic and nature like in twst, gives me the feeling of being alive.
I also think it would be funny if the dorm is this tired out being, a being that kind of gave up after everything—losing its name, students, magic, and even upkeep—and then it meets you. Someone who is alone and tired and you two bond. It learns to care for you, it remembers the past, and it has a purpose again. So, it chooses to change and protect you and the little home you have made. It has a reason to prosper once again. I think that’s beautiful. What have we learned if not to love is to be changed?
I also like to think because they are old they have this…hmmm elderly feel to them? Like, they care but they are also stubborn. A little stuck to the past but also changing. If that makes sense. Kind of like Lilia lolol.
Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)
hey before you call something wheelchair accessible just go ahead and invite a wheelchair user or two over because I almost guarantee you that an able-bodied person is not capable of guessing what is accessible without having ever used a wheelchair solo before
some but not all cool things nobody ever thinks of:
put hand sanitizer or a sink in the accessible bathroom stall, or alcohol wipes outside of it. people who cannot use their legs have to use unwashed hands to roll to the sink, and people who can use their legs are afraid to walk out of stalls because they get harassed and even assaulted.
enough space for wheelchair in doorway…AND ARMS. HOW DO YOU THINK THE WHEELCHAIR MOVES! if I cannot roll through it without scraping my arms it is not accessible
brick paths suck the end
gravel paths suck. make it smooth
a ramp is not accessible if it is too steep. not every wheelchair user is ripped enough or capable of using muscles enough to propel themselves up a steep angle safely. some wheelchair users have heart issues. you want heart attacks? this is how you get them
perfect 90 degree turns suck and are often impossible to turn through
some wheelchairs have foot rests. account for them
wheelchair accessible means wheelchair accessible while alone. if you expect someone to have to be helped out to use your facility, that is not acceptable or accessible
There isn’t adequate space to open the door while in a wheelchair.
Your door is impossible to close while in a wheelchair.
Your door requires a weirdly high amount of hand dexterity.
Your door is too heavy. It’s so stiff. It’s impossible to see someone struggling with it and people open it into the wheelchair user from the inside because it’s too heavy and they didn’t see them there.
The way Spider perked up with excitement at the thought of learning more about his birth mother only to deflate when he found out that she was just another soldier who abandoned him to kill as many Navi as she could before she died. I am sick to my stomach.
Headcanon that Spider and Quaritch are almost copies of each other in terms of physical looks. His smile, his movement, his height, his strenght, his blonde curls- Spider inherited it all from his father. You'd genuinely struggle differentiating a picture of 16 y/o Quaritch from Spider if it wasn't for his clothes and hairstyle.
Their eyes couldn't be more different, though. And they are the sole reason they are only almost carbon copies.
You see, Quaritche's eyes are cold. Icy, cruel shards of blue that bore into you like a dagger. That make you fear and respect him in equal measures, unrelenting and violent.
But Spider's? Oh, Spider's eyes are kind. Soft choclate brown orbs that shine with warmth and care. That hold inoccence and loyalty and kindness and silently tell you "I'm a friend! You don't need to worry. I won't hurt you!"
