Devil Town | Riddle Rosehearts animatic 🌹 | (finished)

———

Happy Birthday Riddle Rosehearts! Im a bit late, but here you finally go. Im very proud of how this animatic came out, and it’s definitely one of my longest projects ever!

I think this song fits Riddle very well. I’ve put a lot of thought and effort in making the lyrics match what’s happening, and I’m happy with the parallels and symbolism I added! There’s a lot of little things I honestly can’t wait for people to point out. I hope you guys will enjoy it!!!

Also, my laptop couldn’t properly handle editing this, as in it literally wouldn’t process the video and was blowing air hotter than the hottest days I’m Scarabia, so forgive me if some things are off beat! :(

Honestly, Riddle’s whole story is so sad. Luckily he’s getting better now, and let’s hope that he’ll be a better parent than his mom! (If he even wants to be one of course.) I think I sometimes forget just how important Trey was in Riddle’s life, and I tried to show just that in this animatic. I hope I did an okay job!

Chapter one: The lesser of the two evils Wordcount: 600 Header credit

“Someone’s making Horcruxes.”

If you’re being honest with yourself, whatever mental barrier that lies between the daily mess of to-do lists, deadlines, and humdrum Department bullshit holding back thinking about him, it’s a thin one. Gauzey, permeable, you’ll find him seeping into your mind when you’re staring off into the corner with at a half-finished report, bleeding in when you’re alone and waiting for the elevator, always with a sick sense of self-betrayal and something that stings an awful lot like shame–if you’re being honest with yourself.

A Friday evening at 4:56pm. That’s when McCollin decides to drop this news on you. It’s raining outside, a thick, thorough rain that falls restlessly over the dark city, framed by the single window in your office behind you. Both the lamp on your desk and the city below glow yellow-orange, the only lights left at this time of night so late into winter. That first promotion had come with bumping enough floors that people comment on the view whenever they step into the room, but more often than not they’re politely neglecting to comment on the fact that it’s Muggle London–not Wizarding–that you’re looking out over. It’s no secret that the Ministry maps out its favourites with the floorplan. The press on Riddle dropped off years ago and ever since, so subtle at first that you could write it off, that relentless, incremental push out of the limelight has been growing ever stronger. The job gets more menial, the promotions stop paying well, and slowly but surely new favourites sweep onto stage.

Here, tonight is where you're startled by the sudden sound of your door opening without a knock, and before you can even make some comment to McCollin he’s said the one thing that tears aside any aspersions that maybe one day you’ll be free of what happened.

“Someone’s making Horcruxes,” says McCollin.

You already know what’s coming next, you can feel it sinking fast into your stomach like you’ve stepped out into the dark, yellow-stained night.

“We’re gonna need his help,” McCollin says, and he says it with an apology already saturating every word, he says them heavily like he’s struggling to keep his head up to look you in the eye.

You stare at him, and the rain swells suddenly louder. You put down your quill and watch a bead of ink well at the nib.

The gravity of it is starting to weigh on you, too. They wouldn’t even be considering if it wasn’t already bad, if whatever they’ve been doing is far from working. They’d have to be desperate, very desperate, and you’re wondering what could make them consider their last possible option, Plan Z, what could be so monstrously bad that hauling Tom Riddle out of Azkaban to grill him about Horcruxes is the lesser of the two evils.

You’re thinking about his ring. You’re thinking about his last request. You’re thinking about dark eyes in a dark cell somewhere beneath the ocean and you’re wondering what he’ll be when they drag him out of there–half soulless? Half insane? How long has he been down there, rotting in the darkness, deep in the roots of Azkaban? How many times have you wondered that since you last saw him?

Your fingers are shaking.

“They want you there,” says McCollin, needlessly.

You already knew it. And god, god, here comes that sick shame and that self-betrayal, because somewhere beneath the dread­–if you’re being honest with yourself–you know that some part of you can’t fucking wait.

yuu manages to get all of their gaming systems from their world working in twisted wonderland. she connected them all with the help of ortho and now has access to all her games again. he uses this opportunity to introduce his friends to some games and gets them hooked on some.

yuu: really likes the honkai games and sometimes dabbles in genshin when they're interested in what's going on. long time main game pokemon fan (favorites are the sun and moon games). has both ensekai and jpsekai. occasionally plays sky but gets frustrated with the flying mechanic. loved the digital devil saga games when they came out and recently started playing p3r. still waiting to get unbanned from roblox.

ace: fell in love with the persona games, especially the ones under the smt persona ip. the persona 2 duology are her favorites. she has a roblox account but barely uses it. she plays wuthering waves a lot. modded minecraft truther right here. really good at solitaire, unsurprisingly. absolutely adores love nikki and the other games in the franchise.

deuce: he'd probably like games like smash bros and mario kart. also peaceful farming games too, he just seems like the type to like them. yuu introduced him to choose your own adventure games and he's been hooked ever since. they're his favorite type of genre and his favorite has to be telltale games' the walking dead.

riddle: big reverse:1999 fan, is in love with the story and character designs. ace made her play shin megami tensei iii: nocturne and she'll replay it sometimes. also adores love nikki but also adores the style savvy franchise games too. the moment she found ace attorney, it was like finding an oasis in the desert. unexpectedly liked bayonetta and has played all three games.

jack: he doesn't play video games that much, even before yuu introduced him to the ones of their world. he's just not interested in them but he occasionally plays minecraft with ace or sky with yuu.

epel: he won't admit it, but he loves lollipop chainsaw. he'll finish the game and then immediately start replaying it. he also likes farming simulator but lollipop chainsaw takes the cake. he plays the sonic games too but only because of the fandubs. if he gets to a cutscene, he'll sometimes quote the fandubs over the actual dub.

ortho: he's currently gatekeeping every single gacha game from idia while he plays them himself. he doesn't exactly have a favorite game but he definitely likes turn-based strategy games more than other types of games. he plays pokemon masters ex the most often and project sekai is right after it. he modded everyone 3ds'.

sebek: he mostly plays retro games and likes ocarina of time the most. he also likes old strategy games like the first fire emblem game and the first shin megami tensei game. he doesn't play often because of his duties as a personal knight of malleus, but sometimes he'll play pokemon red/blue with yuu. he was dared to play a dating sim one time and vowed to never again play one again.

HI NERVO KAY I CAN REQUEST FOR YOUR EVENT NOW :3

okay okay uh so platonic riddle and ghost reader. idk i just want something with my son.

kay bye love you /p take your time

“Ghost in the Dorm” (no cws - wc: 337, fluff/platonic, ghost!gn!reader)

Riddle knew there was a ghost in the Heartslabyul dorm — and he actually didn't mind it, didn't mind you.

It was odd to him though at first, why was there a ghost in the dorm? But, you weren't bothering anyone, so he didn't bother you.

Until you decided to come and say hi to him.

He tried to ignore you at first, but when you suddenly appeared upside down in front of him, effectively startling the boy, he couldn't exactly ignore you anymore.

He groaned, brushing off his clothes (even though they didn't need to be). “Now why in the name of Seven did you decide to scare me like that?” you smiled at him, turning upright but still floating.

“Well, you were ignoring me, so I decided to see if you could actually see me,” you say, almost as if it was common sense — it was at least a reasonable reason with meaning behind it.

Sighing and crossing his arms, Riddle looked up at you with pursed lips. “Why are you in this dorm anyways?” he decided to ask, hoping to finally get an answer—

“I dunno,” —only to get a shrug and an ‘I don't know’.. well, that didn't help any.

“You don't know?” he repeats, getting a nod from you. Riddle sighed again.

“Well, you aren't bothering anyone, so I'll let you be,” he walks forward, moving to the side of you as to not bump into you (could you even be bumped into?), but you seemed to follow him.

Riddle turned his head around, seeing you float to his side. “You're following me..”

“It gets boring with nobody to talk to, and it seems you could use company at times too,” you weren't wrong, Riddle knew that, but he still scrunched his nose at your words.

“Just.. don't bug me and we'll be fine,” he says before finally starting to walk away again, you following close behind.

He gained a ghostly friend that day, and now he's grown to actually like your company.

[ ♱ notes: I ACTUALLY LOVE HOW THIS TURNED OUT OMG.. just hoping I got Riddle in character 🙏🙏 WORKING ON YOUR OTHER REQ NOW BTW DEVIL >_< (I hope you like this one <33) ]

Way back when I was covering Little Garden I commented on how outside of Skypiea Oda didn't really get into the religious practices of his world, which has since, uh, changed, and it makes me more curious about all the crosses we see pop up throughout the series. Kuma even uses a modified cross at his church to hide his Nika worship. Like, is there a One Piece Pope that's cozy with the World Government and that's why the Christian-coded religion is allowed to practice in the open?

[motherfuckingmaneater]

There’s something that seems so very well put together and yet so brutally pulled apart at the seams about him, as though he’d wounded himself and stitched himself back up with unpracticed hands which have become steadier over time.

Serpents & Stars, an unreleased Bellamort story.
