Mafia Au (Heartslabyul)

⚠️ English is not my first language⚠️

The general information post is here

I FINALLY did it, now we only have... *looks at the first post* 15 more posts to write, great 😃👍

Enjoy (⁠~⁠￣⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠~!

I want to clarify that Ramshackle‘s members have code names/aliases (because they want to be called like that, ex: Grim; they don’t have a name or it’s not known to the public, ex: Yuu; or they need to act as other people, ex: Ernesto, Gidel, Rollo and Stitch, who are hiding from their former organizations) but the rest of branches have both nicknames and code names, their nicknames are literally nicknames given by other people; and then code names, which are used for formal meetings, missions, etc.

Warning: I’m using the translator for all their code names, so it’s basically a word I chose for them but in another language.

Riddle Rosehearts: leader

Code name: Malaka (inside NRC/while doing missions) Regina (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as “The Teapot” or ‘the red sovereign’ or ‘the queen of hearts’

Is someone who reigns his people with a fist of steel, his branch is known for the 810 rules they’ve to follow, that doesn’t mean everyone does so…

His parents are both from the bourgeoisie, his father, Alexander Hatt, is a doctor, but is not as prestigious as his ex-wife, is also the person who recommended Riddle to Crowley, in order to get him away from his toxic mother, Melissa Rosehearts, a famous doctor who feels disgust for people who don’t follow her rules and who thinks that her son died years ago in a car accident.

Although he’s someone strict and very short tempered who doesn’t let his members slack off, he has shown to deeply care about them, especially in the middle of a mission.

He doesn’t take days off, unless his father wants to visit him or he really needs a rest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Trey Clover: sub leader

Code name: Albarsim (inside NRC/while doing missions) Ristik (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as ‘the Baker’ or ‘Heartslabyul’s mama’

His first nickname is only because he once ran out of bullets so he used a rolling pin to hit his victim, no more reason, he does bake a lot of things for his branch, and sometimes for other branch’s members, but that nickname never appeared until people heard he used a rolling pin as an arm.

His parents are owners of a famous patisserie, but the money is still not enough to send both of his younger siblings to a good and safe school, so he ended up looking for a job, even if it was a dirty one.

He prefers using food and drugs to kill his victims.

He’s something like the ‘older brother’ or the ‘mom’ in the branch, always cooking meals or looking after them.

He usually takes some days off to visit his family and give them some money, firstly because sending it means it could be stolen.

Cater calls him ‘Bakery’ because of the nice cake he has.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cater Diamond: member/leader's advisor

Code name: Adamas/Almas/Iaspis/Taemane ‘Tae’/Hira (He doesn’t care which one you use, it doesn’t matter if it’s in NRC or negotiating with EAH)

Known as ‘the one who somehow is everywhere’ or ‘phone-on-hand’

He calls himself ‘Cay-Cay’, but he doesn’t let anyone but close people (Riddle, Trey, Lilia, Kalim, Bellatrix), or people who he likes to annoy (Adeuce duo, Blondie, Idia) call him that.

He entered NRC in order to live away from his two annoying and over-nosy older sisters, however, he showed to have a lot of potential, making Riddle to appoint him as one of his advisors.

Though he’s good at completing tasks that involve handling of arms and physical coordination, he has shown a better performance when it comes to acting and handling information, making him one of the teachers of the branch, he teaches the new members about how to perfect their lying skills and something about information.

Rumors say that he once strangled someone because he couldn’t find his phone, it was in his back pocket, but alas, no one knows if that's true.

‘Phone-on-hand’ actually comes from his motto: “Phone on hand and don’t die out there!”

He takes as many days off as he can, normally to go to new trendy places or buy new things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ace Trappola: member

Code name: Barie (inside NRC/while doing missions) Harten (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as: ‘Braincell 1’, ‘orange-flimsy-boy’, ‘younger Trappola’, ‘the asshole from Heartslabyul’ and ‘the one who’s always with Deuce’

He only managed to pass the physical and intellectual tests (the two main tests you’ve to pass in order to enter the organization) thanks to his older brother, who already passed these exams and was excited to know that Ace also wanted to enter his same organization.

Though he has already made clear he wants to handle arms and physical missions, Riddle discovered the Trappola sibling’s trick made in the tests, instead of punishing him, he put him under Cater’s care, who teaches his “students” the art of deception and cheating, and probably something about information manipulation/management when he’s feeling nice.

He became frenemies with Deuce after Riddle made a comment about them.

Trey and Ace’s brother almost fist fought over who cared more about Ace.

Little did they know that Riddle was internally fighting against them too.

He tries to take days off, but everytime he does, his older brother already paid someone to prevent him from doing so; he believes that Trappolas shouldn’t take days off.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deuce Spade: member

Code name: Sipadi (inside NRC/while doing missions) Kodal (exchanging/buying information from EAH)

Known as ‘Braincell 2’, ‘little punk’, ‘Cauldron Deuce’ and ‘the one who’s always with Ace’

He didn’t want to, he really didn’t want to.

But there he was.

Thanks to his mom and his own will, he managed to escape the criminal world, but that was right before ‘The Great Disaster’ happened, once it started, a mysterious man called ‘Crowley’ appeared in his life and offered him a job in his organization, that's when Deuce realized that there was no other way to earn great amounts of money for his mom and his grandma without dirtying his hands again.

Unlike Ace, who’s more of lying and deceiving, Deuce was appointed as Trey’s student, who makes his apprentices go through physical training (in reality he makes them bring flour bags, heavy boxes and more things from the shop to the kitchen, but meh, that still counts as training).

He is one of the dumbest yet fastest members in the organization, something that impressed a lot of the higher ranks, and of course, provoked the jealousy of a lot of other members.

He also has some type of problem with people who don’t respect eggs, so be cautious if you don’t want to receive a glare (or a punch) from him (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)

He takes some days off every two months to visit his mom (she still doesn��t know what her son's new job is)

Fun facts under the cut ⬇️

Fun facts!

The reason why I decided to give Cater more code names than the rest is because of his UM, he can make various copies of himself, so I gave him various code names.

I actually found funny if Trey were to use a rolling pin as an weapon and after finishing the mission everyone would be like: woah, he used a fucking rolling pin, he’s like a baker, and his parents are professional bakers, we’re going to call him ‘the Baker’, wooow 😮 (I know I sound stupid right now, let me be)

Riddle’s father: Alexander Hatt, his name comes from a distortion, of ‘Alice’ (the male version, basically) and ‘Hatt’ comes from the ‘Mad Hatter’; because Riddle’s mom is something like the Queen of Hearts (I know Riddle is the representation of TQH, but his mother is worse, so), and then Alice and the Mad Hatter are like her principal enemies, so I found it a good mix.

For me, Trappola helping Trappola is canon, I’m 101% sure that Ace’s brother helped Ace in some way with his life, so why not write him as a good older brother who helps him to cheat to enter into a dangerous and evil organization?

As you can see, Ace already has quite the reputation.

Deuce past as delinquent is still very important here, i didn’t want to simply erase it or write him as someone proud of his past because now it’s necessary to earn a lot of money to survive, since that would mean that his relationship with his mother would be TOO different, it was nicer to write him like this.

New members still can't go to buy/exchange information with EAH, but they first give them the code names.

Adeuce’s friendship was obviously going to be the same as the game, their relationship is so beautiful for me ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿

Both Trey and Cater are ‘teachers’ (along with more characters that will be revealed in the future), while most of the staff are ‘professors’, just to let you know guys.

And finally, not a fun fact, but likes, comments and reblogs are more than appreciated, thanks❤️!

Heyo!

You've answered an ask about full names but how do the characters feel about nicknames? Particularly more obscure ones like actually calling Jasper 'iaspi', or calling Sparrow 'little bird' or finding out great uncle Alfie's rank and referring to Marybeth as that.

Oh my stars, that last one especially made me laugh so hard...! 🤣 And then try to recall if I had given him a rank; sabers were assigned officers in the cavalry, so I think I mentally had him as a Major-- but for the purposes of Things To Call Marybeth, Colonel sounds more amusing to me, so perhaps Great Great Uncle Alfie needs a promotion.

To answer, though:

John: Loves nicknames, if this wasn't evident already! (tip: he will name the MC himself if you persist in not responding during your first encounter; moreover, if you share a name with someone else in town, he'll suggest a nickname) Very little would give him more joy than for a friend or lover to choose a special name to call him by; he'll take it as an affirmation of the bond he shares with the other person.

Marybeth: Outwardly not very keen on nicknames overall, and would strenuously object to being called Colonel. Might secretly enjoy it, however, if the person calling her that is someone she's very close to, and it's good-natured teasing rather than lack of respect. Still would find it embarrassing, but would also find it endearing.

Patti: Unless you're very close, absolutely not. She already goes by a nickname, and one is enough. Call her Pat, and she'll raise her brows, eye you with bemusement, and very politely correct you. If you're lovers, though, affectionate nicknames are likely acceptable-- even warmly embraced.

Sparrow: He's generally ambivalent about nicknames; he's had enough of being assigned names by others, and sees his chosen name is a way of reclaiming his identity for himself. Something that reflects him, however, coming from someone he trusts and cares about, he might enjoy-- and in fact, Patti does call him "little bird" on occasion:

Jasper: His grasp on the difference between nicknames and name-calling is imperfect at best, so he generally mistrusts being called by anything other than his name-- to the point of taking it as a veiled insult. However, if there is enough established rapport and trust between him and the other party, he likely wouldn't mind as long as the reasoning for it isn't too obscure for him to recognize (Iaspi would be therefore okay).

Le Graal est avant tout lapis ex coelis, du fait que, d'après Wolfram, une troupe d'anges l'avait originellement apporté sur terre. Tradition identique à celle qui est rapportée par le Titurel d'Albrecht von Scharffenberg, le Graal se présentant également ici comme une pierre, jaspe ou silice, liée au symbole du Phénix : « Ein schar den gral uf erde - by alten ziten brahte - ein stein in hohem werde - man ein schûzzeh dar uzwurken dahte ; - iaspis und silix ist er gennent, - von dem der fenix lebende wirt - swenn er sich selb ze aschen brennet ». Pour Wolfram, il s'agit des anges qui furent condamnés à descendre sur terre pour être restés neutres au moment de la tentative de Lucifer. Gardé par eux, le Graal ne perdit pas ses vertus. Il passa ensuite sous la garde d'une troupe de chevaliers, désignés, en principe, d'en haut. Cette tradition se trouve modifiée de la façon suivante dans le Wartburgkrieg : une pierre sauta de la couronne de Lucifer, quand l'archange Michel le frappa. C'est la pierre des élus, tombée du ciel sur terre ; c'est elle que Parsifal retrouva et que Titurel, qui est précisément le fondateur de la dynastie du Graal, avait déjà recueillie. Le Graal serait cette pierre luciférienne. Selon d'autres, la pierre tombée sur terre aurait été une émeraude qui ornait le front de Lucifer. Un ange fidèle la tailla en forme de coupe et ce fut le Graal, donné à Adam dans le « paradis terrestre », jusqu'à ce qu'Adam tombât et fût chassé. Seth, le fils d'Adam, étant parvenu temporairement à retrouver le « paradis terrestre », en ramena le Graal. On peut rappeler à ce propos la légende arabe de la pierre noire de la Kaaba, donnée par Gabriel à Adam, reprise dans le ciel après le Déluge et rapportée ensuite sur terre par Gabriel, pour servir de « pierre angulaire » au centre de la tradition islamique. Cette pierre, blanche et resplendissante, devint noire après le péché. Cette dernière interprétation doit probablement être rectifiée, en ce sens que la couleur noire désigne ce qui est caché, non manifesté, comme l’est le « centre » suprême dans la période d'obscurcissement de toute civilisation traditionnelle.

Il semble enfin que d'aucuns aient vu une relation entre le Graal et une forteresse cathare des Pyrénées, Montségur, que les armées de Lucifer auraient assiégée pour obtenir le Graal et l'enchâsser de nouveau dans le diadème de leur prince, d'où il était tombé sur terre au moment de la répression de sa tentative. Mais le Graal aurait été sauvé par des chevaliers qui le cachèrent au sein d'une montagne.

Trendsetters' Choice: Peanutwood Jasper Jewelry for Fashion Forward Individuals

Peanutwood Jasper, a visually striking variant of jasper, is a unique and visually striking type of chalcedony—a microcrystalline form of quartz. It stands out due to the distinct, fossilized remains of prehistoric plant material within its dark brown to black matrix. Often resembling peanuts, this fossilized plant material gives rise to the name "Peanutwood Jasper." The term "jasper" originates from the Greek word "iaspis," translating to "spotted stone." It is used to describe various opaque, fine-grained, and densely patterned varieties of chalcedony, typically found in a range of earthy colors. The peanutwood Jasper which comes in striking hues is often worn as the Peanutwood Jasper Ring, Peanutwood Jasper Pendant, Peanutwood Jasper Earrings, Peanutwood Jasper Necklace, or Peanutwood Jasper Bracelet.

Franciscus Petrarca – Contra medicum quendam, III

Inter multa quidem hoc erat, quod ex te nunc audio: minime necessariam poesim. […] O insane! Igitur putas necessitas artium nobilitatem arguat. Contra est; alioquin nobilissimus artificum erit agricola; sutor quoque et pistor et tu, si mactare desieris, in precio eritis. Absit! Nulla vos necessitas in precio ponet, nulla faciet non esse mechanicos.

Nescitis quod servus domesticus sepe quo vilior eo magis necessarius? Clibanarius et lanista quam necessarii sunt, quam viles! Citius philosophie scolis et militari cingulo, quam macello et balneis, sit caritura plebecula! Ite nunc, dyaletici senes, et ex necessitate nobilitatem arguite, si videtur; nisi forte aliud sentitis in rebus vita sensu et ratione carentibus, temptate hic etiam, si libet, vestre artis effectum. Asinus magis est necessarius quam leo, gallina quam aquila: ergo nobiliores; ficulnea magis necessaria quam laurus, mola quam iaspis: ergo nobiliores. Male concluditis, falsum dicitis, pueriliter loquimini: quod nature vestre et moribus et studio convenit, non etati. Ydiote procaces, in ore semper habetis Aristotilem, qui credo in ore vestro quam in inferno esse tristius ducat, et puto dextram suam oderit, qua illa scripsit que, paucis intellecta, per ora multorum ignorantium volitarent. Ille certe vestram conclusiunculam non probabat, ubi ait: «Necessariores quidem omnes, dignior vero nulla.». Locum non signo: nam et famosissimus locus est, et tu aristotelicus insignis.

[HIS] Entre otras muchas cosas, ésto es lo que ahora escucho de ti: la poesía no tiene ninguna importancia. […] ¡Oh insensato! ¿Entonces crees que la necesidad demuestra la nobleza de las artes? Al contrario, pues de ser así el agricultor sería el más noble de los artistas; también el zapatero, el panadero y tú, si dejaras de matar, serías valioso. ¡No! Ninguna necesidad te valorizará, ninguna hará que seamos como un mecánico. ¿Acaso ignoras que a menudo el esclavo doméstico es más necesario cuanto más vil es? ¡Cuán necesarios son el gladiador y el entrenador, y también cuán viles! ¡Más rápido perderá la plebe la filosofía de las escuelas y el cinturón militar que el mercado y los baños! Vayan ahora, ancianos dialécticos, y demuestren, si les parece, la nobleza nacida de la necesidad; a menos que piensen algo diferente en asuntos de vida carentes de sentido y razón, prueben también aquí, si lo desean, el efecto de su arte. El burro es más necesario que el león, la gallina que el águila: por lo tanto, más nobles; la higuera es más necesaria que el laurel, el molino que el jaspe: por lo tanto, más nobles. Concluyen mal, dicen falsedades, hablan de forma infantil: lo que conviene a su naturaleza y costumbres y estudio, no a su edad. Ignorantes insolentes, siempre tienen a Aristóteles en su boca, a quien, creo, consideran más triste en su boca que en el infierno, y supongo que odia su mano derecha con la que escribió aquellas cosas que, comprendidas por unos pocos, volaban por la boca de muchos ignorantes. Seguramente él no aprobaba su pequeña conclusión, cuando dijo: «Todas [las artes] son necesarias, pero ninguno es más digna.». No señalo la cita, ya que es un pasaje muy conocido, y tú eres un aristotélico destacado.

The Greek noun “ἴασπις”

Limited to Rev. 4:3; 21:11; 21:18-19, the Greek noun “iaspis” meant “Jasper.”  In ancient times, “jasper” could “designate any opaque stone” (Exegetical Dictionary of the New Testament, 2:170). The post The Greek noun “ἴασπις” first appeared on Online Greek word study. https://www.bumchecks.com/biblecommentary/2023/07/04/the-greek-noun-%e1%bc%b4%ce%b1%cf%83%cf%80%ce%b9%cf%82/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Revisit takes it starting point from some photographs I took in Griffith Park in Los Angeles 2004. After 13 years I return to the park trying to find my way back to the same locations.

Revisit was done during my residency at Echo Park Filmcenter in 2017, a stay that was supported by IASPIS: The Swedish Arts Grant Committee’s International Program for Visual and Applied Artists. The film was shown and a part of Filmcicle – a combined bike ride/activism with Paolo Davanzo and Lisa Marr from EPFC. We took a bike ride from Alvarado Street to Hollywood Blvd and when we arrived, riding around on bike with a movie projector showing REVISIT while biking on Hollywood Blvd and outside The Egyptian Theatre and it’s surroundings. After the ride we went to see Robert Schallers films on L.A. Filmforum. Now distributed by  FILMFORM - The Art Film & Video Archive.
