Thank you again, Tursi, for helping me extract a premade tile and pasting it into the wildcard spot.

 

When I made the graphic for this scenario, I couldn't think of a good way to tile recursively since the brick tiles are spread across 2 tiles. I tried "unsigned char[2] = {0x01, 0x02};" variable so it can map out the brick with fill_vram(0x0000,brick,4). I said f-it and just tile it manually with lot of fill_vram.
