Direbeast…Dire Crowley…
My brain cells are trying so hard to piece this mystery together haha 。゚(゚´ω`゚)゚。 BUT! What I have noticed is Grin’s eyes when he’s in “berserk mode.”
His eyes transform into glowing orbs, and the light is still visible even when they’re closed.
Doesn’t it look a little familiar?
As much as I would love to see a handsome Crowley under that mask, I feel for certain that he just has creepy glowing orbs and a shadow over his face haha (he still handsome tho). But it’s interesting how similar these two eyes are.
The Phantoms don’t have eyes at all, and their heads are replaced with a broken jar of ink. It’s what makes Phantom!Grim that we see in the prologue even more unique. Additionally, all of the Overblot students retain their regular facial features, save for the flame over one of their eyes and ink markings on their face
Book 6 also revealed that Grim is a direbeast fused with another animal, but I think it’s unknown what animal this is. It’s a very interesting detail, and it makes me wonder what the meaning behind it is, and why his mental state is on par with a humans. From what we know about other dire beasts, they’re more akin to wild animals. I still think that Grim was Crowley’s phantom once upon a time, but it’s still kept in the dark.
It makes me wonder if Crowley is in a similar predicament? I’d like to think that he’s a bird-inspired Fae, with the ability to transform into a crow/raven. Is it the shared animalistic features that make them similar? I still don’t think so, just because Leona is a beastman with none of these weird traits when overblotted.
So in the end, I’m still holding onto the theory that Crowley’s body is in a state of blot-limbo, just like Grim was. Although Grim was a lot more wild and ferocious, he still wasn’t quite a Phantom or full-blown Overblot monster. I think Crowley is incredibly unstable and teetering over this delicate edge of blot in body, and while he can communicate and rationalize fairly normally, his body retains many Overblot traits, affecting even his eyes.
I’d also like to think that it’s why we never see Crowley use magic in the game. Although he does use it in the manga and light novels, I think they’re fairly basic shield spells that even 2nd year NRC students can use (according to Leona). It makes me wonder if Crowley only uses magic in highly specific and safe conditions. For example, the school barrier, spell cast over the Ramshackle guest room, and the Colosseum in Book 5 are all said to have powerful barriers on them. I think Crowley’s safest magic is long-lasting and non-attack spells. Once these barriers are cast, they stay there for as long as possible until attacked with brute force.
Crowley has to be incredibly powerful, but he can’t really involve himself in most dangerous situations because any amount of blot might just tip his body and mental state over the edge.
WHY IS HE SO MYSTEROUS AUCHAGXHSBXBX

I think my favorite Beatrice trait is how angry she can get. For a character who is all about control and hiding her true emotions, she is the one who lashes out the most in all of them. Even Mary, who was constantly angry and full of rage at the whole world, didn’t lash out as much as Beatrice does.
(Except that time she pushed Ava down a cliff, but lets not get into that.)
Its Beatrice’s stress response. As soon as something doesn’t go according to plan, if someone does a mistake or if she’s scared or hurt, she will get in someone’s face and scream at them. She can be mean and say truly awful things when she’s angry.
I think it’s real interesting how they gave her this big “flaw” and its still passing under the radar, most times? She will lash out at someone, realise her mistake eventually and apologise, but it’s never seen as a problem. Like it doesn’t really matter that she lashed out at Ava for trying to bring some light in a serious conversation, or that it’s fine that she blamed Camila for the fact that Father Vincent got to Ava just because she apologised later.
Everyone is constantly excusing her behavior, because she is surrounded by people who admire her more than anyone. I think the only people who would have told her to sit the fuck down would have been Lilith and Mary. WHEN we get a season 3, i hope they keep pushing that aspect of her. I think the contrast of calm and controlled with angry and lashing out is super interesting, and i hope one day we get to see her fight with all that rage.

I wish i could draw bc I need to see Max, Kaz, and Inej together. Like, Kaz braiding Max’s hair? Yes please. Inej teaching Max how to throw knives? Yes please. Kaz laying a blanket over Max when she passes out in his office? And Inej just watching from the window? The three of them getting lost in the Upside Down together, and then Eddie and Steve thanking Kaz and Inej for looking after her and keeping her safe? Kaz absolutely destroying a demodog with his cane? Yea, yes, and yesssss. God I need to keep writing this fic in hopes that some artist in the fandoms sees it and wants to draw a scene from it.

Now that I’ve seen the cover for the upcoming taz novel, I once again ponder whether or not they will continue after Balance is finished
They may not and that’s okay, but it would be so dope if they did Amnesty too! (And that’s not just because I’m biased because Amnesty’s my favorite)
Imagine for a moment just how ✨gorgeous✨ an Amnesty novel would be! Sylvain and then all those trees! So many night scenes! THE LODGE!!!
I really wanna see Carey’s takes on the characters. I wanna see her Indrid, her Barclay, her Mama, everyone!
