[riddlerosehearts]

thinking about floyd and riddle spending their first halloween as a couple together... i think floyd absolutely loves how varied and lively all of the different halloween traditions he's learned about since coming to live on land are, and he wants to try out as many of them as he can each year. so when riddle tells him that his mother always made him stay in his room studying on halloween, and that the only halloween activities he's ever done were those that NRC students were required to participate in, floyd decides that the two of them are just going to have to spend the day doing everything they possibly can. riddle tries to say he's far too busy for such things, but floyd will not let it go and honestly riddle is only half-heartedly protesting anyway because he secretly did always dream of doing the things that other kids got to do on halloween, and maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal to take one day off and spend time with his boyfriend.

so, riddle never got to make jack-o-lanterns? floyd decides to "borrow" about half a dozen of the pumpkins jade and azul had bought for mostro lounge and takes them to riddle's dorm room. riddle is terrible at trying to carve them at first and floyd can't help but laugh at him a little, but since he knows it's not riddle's fault he's never gotten to do this before, he says he'll show him how to do it. unfortunately floyd isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is on account of having lived in the ocean for almost his whole life and now riddle gets to laugh right back at him. they probably both get the hang of it right as they're down to their last two pumpkins.

riddle never got to go trick-or-treating with his childhood friends? floyd texts trey and convinces him to get in touch with chenya as well so that they can all go together. when they approach the first house, in the costumes they had prepared for each of their school's halloween events, riddle starts to get nervous and asks if they aren't all a little too old to be doing this. floyd shoves several huge handfuls of candy from that person's bowl into his and riddle's pumpkin-shaped buckets and tells him it's not like there's any rule that says they can't, and besides, riddle is such a cute little goldfish that he practically looks like a kid in his costume anyway! chenya stifles a laugh while trey has to stop riddle from committing murder that night.

riddle's never gone to a haunted house before? floyd and chenya both think it would be hilarious to make him go to one, so they do. riddle absolutely hates it, but it honestly does make him happy to see everyone else enjoying it--even if floyd and chenya both keep trying to egg him and trey on and get them to go down creepy corridors and check around corners by themselves, and even if floyd keeps running off to different parts of the haunted house and then coming back and hugging or even lifting riddle from behind knowing full well that he'll get freaked out by it.

riddle never got to play the apple bobbing game that's traditional in the queendom of roses? turns out there's a place right by the haunted house where they can go to do it! predictably, floyd is great at it while riddle ends up drenched without getting any apples, but just giving it a try is more fun than riddle expected.

riddle's never gotten to make candy apples before? luckily, trey knows an amazing recipe as well as what combinations of toppings work the best, and he's willing to teach them both! riddle gets very confused at imprecise directions such as being told to use "a few" drops of food coloring on the syrup or to drizzle "a little" white chocolate over it, and keeps asking trey exactly how much he should use. floyd thinks this is adorable. he also thinks it's adorable when riddle tries to scold him for ignoring half of trey's directions and just doing whatever he thinks sounds good.

riddle's never done a horror movie marathon before, or even seen any halloween movies in general? floyd insists that they marathon at least 3 movies together. after the experiences he had at the haunted house, riddle doesn't think he'll enjoy horror movies, but he tries to keep his cool throughout the first one anyway... which does not work out, because he really can't handle jumpscares or excessive gore. during the first movie they watch, floyd (who loves slasher films so much that he laughs and cheers every time the monster gets a kill) is happy to let his goldfishie cuddle up to him and grip onto his arm to keep himself from knocking the popcorn bowl onto the floor, but you know that once it's over riddle is getting teased relentlessly about how scared he was. floyd decides to be nice and put on something tamer for their next two movies, and riddle actually ends up really enjoying coraline and especially beetlejuice.

by the end of the night riddle realizes that they've stayed up way too late at night and a small part of him wants to scold floyd for keeping him up so late, insisting on having him do all of these silly activities and eat all of these terribly unhealthy snacks. another part of him wishes he could scold his mother for keeping him from doing any of these things as a kid, with his friends and the other kids in his hometown, the way you're supposed to do it... and another part of him still is just incredibly happy and grateful to floyd for finally giving him the chance.

#twisted wonderland #twst #riddle rosehearts #floyd leech #florid #floyddle #floyrid #floydriddle #floyd x riddle #riddle x floyd #man i wish the twst fandom agreed on ship names and tags lol. i think that's all the ones i've seen. #also YES i AM still posting halloween headcanon posts after halloween #sorry if this post is dumb and ooc. i may have a canon url but i do not claim to be a riddle expert much less a floyd expert #BUT i really do think riddle would enjoy animated halloween movies and more lighthearted horror comedies like beetlejuice #especially since beetlejuice has Rules. the ghosts have rules for the afterlife and even beetlejuice himself Has to follow rules. #so it's comforting and easy for riddle to understand #and i think floyd enjoys slashers and thrillers and such MORE than those types of movies but he will make compromises for his bf #because as much as he loves teasing him he doesn't want riddle to be like Actually Upset or to have a bad time #plus maybe i'm just a baby but i think coraline is genuinely pretty creepy even as an adult lmao #okay anyway. if it wasn't already obvious i love them <3

been watching a lot of hbomb due to the vid drop which means now i'm getting. hold on. i have to block a tumblr user. which means now i'm getting a lot of sarah z recommendations and i finally went oh alright let me look at her uploads surely i can give her a chance. only to get really mad when i see she got 2 million views on regurgitating tumblr posts INCORRECTLY about what happened to destiel surrounded by other #tumblranecdotes .

#this isn't anything but stuck in my craw from the hbomb mini vid is when he said illuminaughti is hated in lots of subreddits for whatever #subject she yoinked and half researched from silent hill to vocaloid to etc etc etc because it's a Pattern that she repeats #n how sarah's johnlock video was ill received by johnlock ppl. destiel ill received by big destiel. misc tumblr ill received by tumblr et a #tbc i am NOT throwing around the word plagarism or ip theft or any of that i just think it's very silly that she does sub culture deep dive #that are incredibly shallow and would be improved by talking to literally anyone actually involved. where is your primary source sarah. #and this is why baitpod rules . they bring in the hashtag experts #etxt

frog documentation. frogcumentation

I think I mentioned a while back I'd post nibling frog momence after the gift's done given. which happened on the 2nd this month I just forgot lmao. anyways we can do it now. I used the boigameista pattern scaled up to four pieces of A4 print paper and decided to double deck it to a two layer thing, not unlike a pillow, for ease of washin. because it was gonna be gifted to a one year old child

took a long time and made a number of mistakes bc hand sewing makes me worse as a person but this guy was done in time for the birthday occasion and that's what matters. chose non-fuzzy fabrics for it because we live in a dense city in the tropics and from personal experience if I hug something made of fur I would explode. the original plan included felt patterns on its back for bonus textures for baby but that wouldn't stretch well along with the rest of the thing so had to hold that back. eventually we got this

zipper across its ass, the coat type of zipper bc I miscalculated when ordering. but it did have a shape and that's all that matters to me. will be a fun game for the baby to grow up and be severely misinformed about what a frog looks like

happy extremely late birthday to this thing also

#bakuspecial #uhhhh. whats my craft tag. I forgor. update this later #frog plush babeyyyy #I want this thing to last until the heat death of the universe so I felled all the seams down. dont recommend doing this by hand #Im so stubborn lmao I refuse to get a serger I will simply get better at hand sewing instead. damn its taking kinda long #there used to be a Lot more frogs around hanoi. but the lack of clean water ponds and lakes have driven down the population #I live like right at the edge of the city rn tho (will no longer be the case in five years) so there are still a lot of aminals #house robins. skinks. fireflies (!!!!). praying mantises. tree frogs #they love to hang out at the fountain inside the complex right across the street. had to pick em up to return to the fountain #from the hot brick tiled ground a few times #theyre so small. theyre so small.... #I miss house geckos they dont show up a lot in our apartment. I wish they would they would love the cockroaches around here #and of course. bc the kind of rice we eat is more short-grained and thus usually not all the way dried like the longer-grained type we have #so many rice weevils. do u know those little fucks do not drown for a Long time #do u know they lay eggs inside the rice grains and that's how u find out ur rice about to become the weevil beverly hill #by washing the rice and seeing hollowed out grains float up. I have become an expert at this. #but I get to see skinks in random bushes so who am I to be pissed about that. skinks rule #this has been baku talks about animals for a mile of tags. thank u for listening #well. its evening and the family wants to go out so that's what we're doin. hope u have a good time too wherever u are #see u this midnight when I reblog every new posts I've made in the last week or so lmao

one misconception i've seen abt 2k3 raph's character quite a few times is that he dislikes the nickname raphie. he's called raphie by mikey and donnie throughout the series and casey at least once, and he never responds negatively to the nickname itself nor is it even Implied by him or any other characters he feels any sort of negative way abt it. he also calls Himself raphie ("it's not nice to invade mr raphie's neighborhood") in space invaders part 1. like the mischaracterization's coming from Inside the house.

edit: i'm scared but making this rebloggable now.

Hi there! I don't know much about the Greek myths, so I was wondering about the myth of Oedipus and how it translates to psychoanalysis: if Oedipus didn't know he was killing his father and marrying his mother (and blinded himself when he found out), how come do we call it an Oedipus complex when we have a desire for our mother and a hatred for our father? And in the same vein, why couldn't we do the same with the myth of Persephone?

hi love! you're absolutely correct in that observation, that oedipus very much did NOT want to fuck mommy and kill daddy — in fact, he escaped his adoptive home for this very purpose, and only found himself accidentally stumbling into a brawl with laius and a marriage with recently widowed milf jocasta (at least in the most popular versions of the myth, and the ones freud and his followers would've drawn from). however, the analysis of a myth cannot begin and end with its explicit contents, much less a myth as old and richly symbolic as that of oedipus: in the most basic surface-level symbolism, he represents the new killing the old and taking its place, the son rising up to adulthood via his father and successfully conquering them both only to become himself the father to be challenged (this is arguably present in oedipus coloneus), and his marriage to jocasta represents just that, the access to the world of marriage and power over family and kingdom, something every boy is destined to achieve as he grows into adulthood. that is what freud picks at, the father-son tension and the mother as a contended object able to bestow power unto its owner, and of course mother as the comforting loving presence we were born from and forever wish to come back to; there is no such tension in the myth of persephone, which rather represents the trauma of marriage and adulthood-fertility for young girls before they're ready to face it, and the fruitless wish for mothers to save their daughters from what they have also gone through before (somewhat more topical in ancient greece than now, but definitely meaningful in a society that is still violently sexual towards children and teenagers). hades-zeus is only influential in that he steals and rapes persephone, but the story is demeter's desire to save her daughter from the patriarch as she lays desperate and passive and lifeless in the underworld, hence if we must ascribe a complex to it it needs to be assigned to the active part, demeter.

#there's also the matter of jocasta as the archetypal great mother who ''ruled the earth before man'' [sic] the yonic abyss etc etc #but that is WAY beyond our pay grade rn god bless. #sorry for this BEHEMOTH of an answer this is barely breaking the surface of the ice. feel free to ask for clarifications on anything! #also reminder that im not an expert on anything im just a classics major with daddy issues #female oedipus tag

I’ve grown passionate about making ice cream sandwiches out of delicious things at home. Most recently: Apple fritters and blueberry waffles as the bun.

#I’m an expert at ice cream sandwiches so let me say there are rules: #1) sandwich glue is nonnegotiable #sandwich glue is something saucy or sticky #my drug of choice is marshmallow fluff lately but there are a lot of options. jam goes pretty fucking hard #2) use a serrated knife to cut the bottom off of a pint of ice cream and you are left with a perfect little disk of ice cream #oh and I use my bong torch to toast the marshmallow fluff #UHHH YEAH dude

A lion's roar doesn't even seem like a roar it sounds like the big cat version of coughing up a hairball. Their stomachs even move like they are trying to heave. XD

#big cats #lions #comparing my little mister to the wild cats of africa is funny to me #i mean cats dont usually meow in the wild #the meowing they do for us #they dont communicate with roars really either unless you count caterwauling #but big cats are all so different from each other #they probably have different rules #and wild cats are different than a zoo animal that was raised by humans #which is where all my big cat experiences are and the animal kingdom is already so gd weird that at this point i think anything is possible #any cat experts out there know why they are so weird when they roar compared to other cats

Can't imagine ever feeling bad about being single when Reddit exists. Today in cis het men are hot garbage.

Tw for traumatic childbirth, medical trauma, coercion, gaslighting and medical abuse and fucking troglodyte manchild of a husband. Jesus fucking Christ.

#the fact that people are made to push their babies out while flat on their backs will never not be appalling to me #the natural birth position is squatting or on all fours #what the fuck is wrong with western medicine #if i ever have a baby I'd be torn between having it at home with a midwife‚ which honestly feels less scary‚ #or a hospital where i can get an epidural because i am really pain averse #my doctor friend says she tries to discourage epidurals because in her experience something always ends up going wrong #the pain is supposed to be a signifier of what to do #and how and when to push #it's unlikely to be a problem for me bc i'm divorced ace disabled and poor #i can't imagine being able to afford a child even though i really want one #still. the patient is the expert on their own body. this rule should be iron clad when it comes to pregnancy and birthing #i think being against cis male gynaecologists is too radfem but then stuff like this happens #obviously cis female gynos and nurses can also be horrible but this kind of numbskullery might be not as common #cis het men are a goddamn plague jfc #knee of huss #r/relationships #reddit

new sadness unlocked (received email from one of the other teachers letting me know interschool sports training starts tomorrow and i need to pick a sport and then learn that sport and then teach the basics of that sport first thing tomorrow morning)

#im leaning towards volleyball (higher chance of being an inside sport and sounds easier to score) but these rule sheets are so confusing #like they assume you have a base level of knowledge that i never have?? like just explain it better and i will be able to learn #like bare minimum i think you should be explaining the actual point of the sport? like the aim for each team? but they don't #i mean i know i won't have to be an expert on the first day but presumably i need to get them to do..... drills? #and i am Not letting myself think about how this new addition to the timetable means even more struggle to fit every lesson into the week 🙃 #my post tag
