I'm aware that them being the Queen of Hearts and card soldiers are more or less canon but this is just my fun little take on it!
Riddle - Queen of Hearts -Obviously?? It's canon
Trey - Mad Hatter -Another popular take -Notice how he's the only Heartslabyul member that wears a hat? At least from what I remember -He's definitely mad simply because he seems like the most sane in a place where no one is -Also he bakes for (and probably by default organizes) the tea parties, which is something the Mad Hatter literally does.
Cater - Caterpillar -Shocked I've never seen anyone say this -First of all the name is similar, CATER-pillar. Idk man I think that means something -Second, they're both the most chill characters in the show/game. -None are too relevant and aren't seen much, but they always have the details of what's happening around them.
Deuce - White Rabbit -I've always thought this, and that one event solidified it for me -Very fast paced, a bit all over the place and very panicky -Deuce is in the Track club. The White Rabbit literally spends the whole story running. -Dedicated to their jobs or given tasks -Looks up to their Queen, even though they don't really agree with them. (It's more of a fear thing)
Ace - Alice -Lowkey the reason I made this, though I think this is a well known take?? -Again, similarity in names -Spends first half of the book thinking "what the fuck?" which is pretty accurate -Very audacious, I mean bro went against the Queen and his morals within his first few meetings (literally Alice-coded guys) -Also spends the first book sort of following Deuce around (he was the one following Deuce I'm telling you). That's also another reason as to why Deuce is the White Rabbit btw.
I know a lot of people consider the MC as Alice but you see, Heartslabyul is not the only fairy tale we get pushed into. I see MC as a more narrator/reader role in all this. Emphasis on Reader role bc we literally get dreams of the stories and we're mostly watching it happen as it goes.
YES to grover not giving a fuck about the human's safety when the animals escape. that is so book grover. he spends the entire series hating on humans. no character arc no change in opinion just a goat full of hate for homo sapiens. i want more of that please
(aryan delivers this scene perfectly tho fr, his genuine disinterest in human's wellbeing, his downright cheerfulness at the chaos that the animals are causing, him basically going "well everything looks great to me!" when percy is like dude the PEOPLE???? absolute chef's kiss. dare i say, most book accurate scene in the show)
I borrowed @rosyredlipstick‘s characters to experiment with a new style.
but look! It comes complete with head canons.
Mitchell falls asleep as soon as he sits down in a plane. Like, immediately. If he has ever seen the safety speech it would be a miracle.
Despite having basically grown up on a plane, Connor always gets jittery during takeoff and landing.
In fact, he has never been able to sleep on planes until he started travelling with Mitchell.
And you can bet your ass he holds Mitchell’s hand the entire flight.
Mitchell prefers to sit in the window seat, because he never really went anywhere as a kid and likes to watch the clouds whenever he wakes up.
This drives Connor crazy because he CAN NOT sit anywhere but the aisle.
So they compromise. Somehow Connor always manages to find them seats where the window seat is open.
Mitchell isn’t sure if he wants to risk asking how he does that when literally every other seat on this flight is taken.
I just think that someone should write a blaise/theo fic with them adopting a cat together and being happy
At Jily's wedding:
Church: If anyone objects to this union, speak now or forever hold your peace.
Evan: LILY.
*Regulus and Dorcas trying to hold Evan back while Barty is laughing*
Lily: For the last time, Evan, I understand you want to be called Evan Evans. But that is not a valid reason to interrupt my wedding!!!
Evan : BUT THINK ABOUT IT.
