#Yuu holds a lot more power than they know.
Okay but can we as a community start talking about Yuu snapping? Because like, I know every twst fan has thought about that moment.
That moment where everything, every single mask, every unfulfilled promise, every bridge made, everything. Is burnt to the ground by our hands, and we're left to stand in the middle of it all. Like being in the eye of a hurricane. Everything around you is destroyed, but you're left unscathed. For now, that is.
I also wanna talk about other characters reaction to the snap. We all know the first years, including Sebek who has his reservations, would be heartbroken and distraught at the sight of Yuu in a blind rage. Destroying all that comes close.
I think that's also what could cause Grim to overblot, he tries stopping Yuu or protecting them from the onslaught of other students magic and in turn he snaps too. Turning into an angry beast eager to destroy just like his master.
But also think about the people Yuu helped through their overblots. While Yuu isn't the closest to the overblot boys, I can't help but imagine that all of them held Yuu in high regard. So seeing Yuu snap like thats makes them think that all the work they did, all they progress they made, all the times they tried to change, it was for nothing. Because if someone as good as Yuu was unable to save themselves from a snap, who are they?
I could just be picking straws, but I think if Yuu ever actually snapped, it be a chain reaction if events that would lead the future of N.R.C. six feet under.
Just a thought...

Vil, Meleanor, and the Virgin Mary: Crowley’s Obsession
I haven’t seen anyone talk about this, but it’s driving me insane: Vil and Meleanor’s design parallel each other SO MUCH that it’s not even funny. In fact, I think Vil is foreshadowing EVERYTHING about Meleanor’s fate and Crowley’s plans.
I know I’m just coping lol, but I think I finally figured out why Crowley is so obsessed with the Fairest Queen and Pomefiore if he was Levan. Here me out: Vil is the representation of Meleanor.
Vil’s Overblot form is what immediately caught my attention. The way his cape connects to his hands, the night sky on his cape, the corset and the gems. The way the edges of his dress looks like old, torn paper, like history long since forgotten. Not to mention how he has claws like Crowley and is wearing Crowley’s same exact shade of blue. Just…this entire silhouette with the sleeves and crown matches Meleanor more than Malleus’s Overblot does. Strange how both Vil and Meleanor are associated with stars, when Crowley has a lot of star designs on the curtains in his office.
In his dorm uniform, look how the gloves and the lace has a similar design as Meleanor’s. Not to mention how in this vignette, Vil is like a “Queen reborn” with “two knights” at his side. Hm?? Like Meleanor with Lilia and Baul, perhaps?
Something I’ve always found strange is how much Crowley dotes on Vil. In both his history and flight lessons, Vil comments a lot on Crowley when a Special Lesson is triggered. Doesn’t it feel…almost uncomfortable??? Vil feeling “eyes” on him specifically when Crowley is there. And there isn’t clarification if Vil is speaking to Yuu or Crowley, but when he says “I’m just fine,” it makes me wonder if Crowley was asking Vil how he was doing.
This isn’t just limited to the lessons. Although Crowley played a less significant role in Book 5 than I thought he would, doesn’t he sound very affectionate when he says this?? “What I’ve always taken you for”…he holds great pride in Vil and how represents the history and beauty of Pomefiore. Crowley has NEVER shown this much of a bias towards any student before. Only Vil.
I can hear some of you asking: Why in the world would Crowley/Levan care so much about Vil if MALLEUS and DIASOMNIA exists? Here’s the thing: Vil simply represents more of who Meleanor was as an evil, proud princess.
He is proud, he is beautiful, he truly understands the power of his beauty, how to make people submit to him with harsh truths. He has a certain charm and pride in his accomplishments that Malleus doesn’t.
But what REALLY got me was the religious symbolism in Vil’s Overblot form. @pianostarinwonderland made a really amazing post on the resemblances Vil has to the Virgin Mary and the Lady of Sorrows.
The Lady of Sorrows is another “form” of the Virgin Mary- which ironically enough, is depicted with SEVEN swords piercing her HEART. Sometimes she is depicted with only one sword- more on that later. The Virgin Mary is considered to be the holiest of saints- a figure of worship. She is also considered to be the “god-bearer.” Her death is referred to as the Dormition of the Mother of God, Aka the “falling asleep of the god-bearer.”
And back to the swords in her heart, the seven swords represent the Seven Sorrows, but the singular sword represents the Prophecy of Simeon.
The prophecy of Simeon said something like Mary’s child would be the RISE and FALL of many in Israel, and that a sword would pierce through Mary’s heart too, as an allusion to the crucifixion. Because Mary would suffer alongside her son, the one curse of motherhood. Stars are also significant in Christian mythology, like the star of Bethlehem to guide the wise men to the birthplace of Mary’s child. Another significant “star” is the Morning Star, Aka Lucifer. The Morning Star title is based off Venus, whose Greek name means “the light bringer” or “the DAWN bringer.”
If all of these things I’m saying reminds you about the imagery in TWST, I feel like this is purposeful! Lets back up and go over each of these points and how it relates to TWST (I am not religious, so if any of this is inaccurate, please let me know!)
Crowley in the opening seems to worship his “benefactor,” and I’ve been theorizing that it’s Meleanor whose trapped in the Dark Mirror. She is quite literally a figure of worship to him- the holiest of saints. And with Meleanor being the mother of Malleus, who is one of the most powerful mages in the world, doesn’t it sound similar to be a “god-bearer?”
The swords through her heart not only sounds like a connection to Meleanor’s death, but to Maleficent’s too. The sword of truth piercing her heart- but not only that, Vil’s Overblot crown LITERALLY has the design of a singular sword piercing through a heart. Yes, its a representation of the Evil Queen demanding Snow Whites heart, but why is Vil’s design combined with the Virgin Mary of all figures??
I bolded “prophecy” because I think Levan is heavily connected to prophetic powers, but doesn’t this prophecy sound A LOT like Meleanor’s blessing on Malleus? Malleus would be the benevolent star to the Fae, and an evil star to humankind. Like the Star of Bethlehem for the Fae, and the Morning Star for humans…and the Morning Star is heavily connected to the DAWN. Dawn Knight? Silver???
It doesn’t help that Dragon Fae seem to be ostracized by humans for their horns. Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty though, refers to her powers as “powers of Hell,” heavily leaning toward his demon like design.
Meleanor suffered to protect Malleus. She gave him up and fought an entire army to better his chances of survival because she loved him so much. And if Meleanor is trapped in the mirror and will be brought back to “life,” all of this suffering stemmed from the fact she sacrificed herself for Malleus.
SNDJDHSJSJDJD STOP IT TWST WHY DOES THIS ALL FIT TOGETHER SO WELL????? YANAAAAA HELP
But do you see what I mean on how I think Vil is slyly foreshadowing EVERYTHING? Not only that, but look at his Overblot design again. At his waist, there are sharp crystal-looking objects surrounding him. I think these represent broken mirror shards. This, combined with all the coffin imagery at NRC, Epel’s Unique Magic, and Malleus’s making everyone fall asleep like Aurora or Snow White…
Perhaps Meleanor really is trapped in the mirror, put in a death-like sleep…but one day she will be freed, like Aurora or Snow White with the power of true loves kiss. Until then, Vil is the closest representation of her to Crowley. Someone who understands the power of beauty to make others submit, someone to worship.

Idia shroud with a s/o that is his arrange fiancée that is that descendant of Persephone 💖 is graceful and considerate. Although seemingly innocent, she is not one to be toyed with as she holds the capability to stand up for herself and do what is right as she is ruthless to those who had/ have wronged her..
But both of them love each other dearly depending on the situation both have a soft spot for each other but never play favourites ** cough** Persephone!S/O **cough** she will and has put Idia back into his place! Even if he is or isn't in his blot form! Last time she was mad mad... Idia unlocked a new fear.. his soon to be wifey once she turns 18! (She is currently 17) always a year behind him! :3
You will never know how excited I have been to do this. Female Reader who is not Yuu.
Idia Shroud
Your parents had agreed that you both would be wed once you turned 18. But you weren’t against it at all. Ever since you both were children, you both were happy that you would be married to each other. It was a young love that we only see in Disney movies nowadays… oh wait… this is Disney.
Throughout the years, you both went to the same schools. You would spend a lot of time at his family’s house so that you could learn more about his family’s business. After all, if you were to become his wife, you would be co-owner of the company alongside your future husband.
Idia was wholeheartedly in love with you. You were graceful, you were kind, it was kind of impossible for him not to fall for you. At his family’s estate, you had started a garden so that you could eat a bit cleaner. Your power over plants really fascinated your fiance.
Ortho became a younger brother figure to you. Idia finds himself super flustered whenever he sees you two hanging out. You spend a lot of time outside due to the nature of your powers, and Ortho also loves spending time outside so it works out. It was at your pleading that your fiance spent more time outside as well. But you knew that the curse on his family prevented him from spending too much time away from blot.
Then, you both got accepted into Night Raven College, one year apart of course. The unfortunate part is that you were accepted into different dormitories. He was a part of the Ignihyde dorm when you were accepted into the Pomefiore dorm. The eldest Shroud sibling had to admit that you looked absolutely beautiful in your dorm uniform.
If you ever adjust his dorm uniform, like the jacket for example, he will get flustered to a whole other degree. The non-existent distance between you two overwhelms him a bit. Then you grab his jacket lapels and pull him into a kiss. Bro turned more red than Elmo.
He does get a bit jealous when you tell him that you have a gardening club meeting and can’t meet up with him. However, he feels crappy when he has a board game club meeting and therefore can’t meet up with you. This puts your relationship in a bit of a distant stage, but ‘distance makes the heart grow fonder’.
Now, there’s the matter of his overblot. It was fiance against fiance in this situation, because you teamed up with Yuu and Grim as well as the other First Years. You were quick to shut him down though, catching him in a snapdragon and watching him struggle within.
In the infirmary, you were waiting for him to wake up. Once he did, you almost squeezed and kissed the life out of him. But before he had the chance to reciprocate your affection, you slapped him and started yelling at him for how he almost killed himself, Ortho, and everyone involved in the battle.
Bro has never been more scared in his entire life. He could consider it a near-death experience just facing the fire of your fury. You went from kissing him from relief to scolding him out of anger that he just started tearing up and apologizing. This made you feel bad and you wrapped your arms around his torso as you laid on him.
Whenever you lay on him, but the way, you place your hand beside your head on his chest. There, he sees the engagement ring that he gave you while you were a senior in high school and he was a freshman in college. His wife-to-be was always one year behind him.
By the way, you both show obvious favoritism towards each other. Not a lot of people are allowed at the Ignihyde dorm, but you definitely are for obvious reasons. Then, in your dorm, even though you aren’t the Housewarden, Vil does allow you to stay the night over in Idia’s room because you have earned it.

Hi
Alot of people are saying Meleanor and Maellus are the same when she shot everyone with lightening. But I think she is more extreme. At the very least Malleus hasn't hit anyone, though their have been some close calls. But he has never threatened to hurt sebek, Lilia, or Silver. Melenore and Maellus are similar, but I think Malleus is more in control. Lilia does reprimand him if he acts up or he loses thought.
Mmm, well... I don't really think it's fair to say one is considered "worse" or "better" than the other in terms of control of their powers and emotions??? They're a lot alike, but they're also at completely different points in their lives and under much different circumstances. We also get a very limited perspective of one (Meleanor) over the other (Malleus), who is very much a prominently featured character.
Both Meleanor and Malleus in their basest forms are temperamental, and their bad mood stirs changes in the weather. The old adage, "like mother, like son" is very applicable here. The main difference between them is that Meleanor, the parent and adult, has more responsibilities and lived during a warring period.
We hear tales of Meleanor acting up and letting her powers flare out of control in her youth, and that parallels what we know of Malleus's childhood (ie when he froze the castle and many servants). They are the same. However, I would say that Meleanor's emotions running high is considerably more understandable (at least during the instance when we actually physically see her in the dream), considering that she's in the middle of a war and the life of herself and her unborn child are at risk.
She's not just "shooting everyone with lightning" because she's lost her temper for no real reason. Meleanor is mad at Lilia and the soldiers for not showing up to defend her and her child. She had NO reason to believe her men would be returning with humans (Yuu, Sebek, Silver, Grim) in tow (who would be much more susceptible to being hurt from her magic than a fae), so I don’t think she was shooting at them specifically; they just got caught in the crossfires. I have no doubt that Meleanor could have done some serious damage with her magic, but since she's expecting only enemy soldiers or her own to walk through that door, I do feel like she has her reasons??? Like, if it's enemy soldiers, then those humans are for sure fried. But if it's her own soldiers, then she's most likely expecting them to be experienced enough to avoid her strikes (since they are, after all, trained rigorously to protect the royal family). Seriously striking down her own soldiers in a time of war only hurts herself, doesn't it??
Meleanor's anger focuses on Lilia and Lilia alone when he refuses her order to take her baby and leave her to fend for herself. I don't believe that she seriously intended to harm Lilia in that moment; she needs him alive and well to ensure the safety of her son. If anything, it feels like she summoned that lightning (the second time) to try and scare Lilia into running or as some kind of "test" to prove his readiness to do so. (Keep in mind that Lilia at this point was ALSO holding Malleus's egg while Meleanor was trying to blast him; do you think she would honestely try to decimate her friend and her baby when she just told Lilia to make sure the baby was kept safe?) This only got messed up because Silver (bless him) leapt in the way to defend his father, because to him, the danger still felt very real.
Comparatively, Malleus gets upset over what are much more mundane things simply due to being a student during a time of peace (not being invited somewhere, Lilia getting a text message from a friend, etc). He does an excellent job of self-regulating most of the time, but he also has bad days when he expresses intent to harm those that anger him or at least considers it (ie the Magicam Monsters during the first Halloween event, Rook in his PE vignette (until he realizes Rook is purposefully provoking him), Rollo in Glorious Masquerade for deceiving him). Maybe he hasn't ever threatened to hurt Diasomnia, but that doesn't mean everyone is safe. Look at book 7, he did not hesitate to turn his magic against the people he cares about to force them to comply with his desires. Malleus is immature and doesn't know a lot about the world, nor is he able to easily cope with change or things that already escape his understanding, which results in these kinds of incidents.
And like... even if Malleus doesn't mean to hurt people, that doesn't negate the harm he does do, does it? Just because he "never hit anyone" with his magic (at least not that we know of) doesn't mean he can't hurt in other ways. Think of the worry he caused in Endless Halloween Night or as far back as when he (accidentally) froze various servants in the castle. All of book 7 is also indirectly hurting people; he's not allowing them to live their lives and is deciding it FOR them. Even if Malleus doesn't see what he's doing as harmful, the truth of the matter is that it IS harmful. (Mr. Shroud even surmises that without food or water in those bodies forced to sleep, the dreamers might actually die.)
To quickly touch on Lilia, he shouldn't be used to excuse or to hand-wave away any bad behaviors on Malleus or Meleanor's parts. Yes, Lilia is an important person in both of their lives. Yes, he tells them off for their actions--but 1) his words are not always taken into consideration, understood, or followed through on by Malleus (such as in the Dorm Uniform vignettes) and Meleanor, and 2) there are also instances when Lilia enables them instead of discouraging them from acting out. (Endless Halloween Night comes to mind for Malleus.)
Malleus, like his mother, HAS to learn how to better control himself or risk repeating these same mistakes with or without Lilia. Let's not forget too, it's Malleus who Overblotted, a condition which arises mainly due to negative emotions. I don't know if I would call that a demonstration of being "more in control", but rather a sign of Malleus’s immaturity and inability to accept change 💦 ADDENDUM: it is implied later in book 7 that Meleanor also Overblotted, but not out of negative emotions but rather that she overexerts her magic when fighting.
We don’t know as much about Meleanor or how much of her childish tantrums (like the incident where she blew up part of a castle) carried over to adulthood. We also don’t know enough about her to understand if she ever compromised the safety of others like how Malleus did in his own childhood (again, the whole ice thing). When her castle is under siege, she takes control of the situation and makes a plan, then confronts the Silver Owls for a duel. She’s somewhat selfish in her insistent commands to Lilia, but then again, she has to be—she’s a sovereign with people she desperately wants to protect.
Malleus is actually just as immature as his mother was as a child. It's possible to see him as "more in control" because we have so many other instances of him being calm and rational to refer to. Meanwhile, we only hear about Meleanor's destructive rampages via stories and have only one real instance of interacting with her to refer to, and she's being violent for most of it. We have very few instances of her being nice or pleasant to compare to, so by focusing only on what we physically witness, a biased interpretation of her can form. In reality, neither mother nor son is "worse" or “better” than the other—again, the standard for comparison for the two’s present behavior is not equal to begin with.
Malleus needs to be given the time to learn and grow to get to the same position and maturity that his mother reached. He’s still at a point where he’s insecure about his relationships and with the change that comes with the passage of time, not a pillar of control—and that’s just a consequence of his youth and lack of real-life experiences. That’s not to say that Meleanor is perfect or that she’s somehow “more” controlled than Malleus; they're both powerful, demanding, domineering types, which is how the Draconia family in general is described. It’s Meleanor's age and experiences have helped to temper her into a leader who knows what she most wants to prioritize in a live-threatening moment. She still uses force to get her way, but utilizes her powers with a more learned wisdom that deviates from Malleus.

Overblot mc/yuu but...????
TW — mention of vomiting, fighting Crowley and winning (sorry Crowley lovers), past death. I like thinking a lot tbh
not necessarily angst but it is in here! Same with fluff...this was really just me rambling.
* EDIT: WHY DID IT TAKE HOURS UNTIL I FINALLY GOT TOLD I WAS WRITING OVERBLOT WRONG.
I think about MC overbloting a lot and I also think about adding it into my own books because of how??? good??? the idea???? is???????
I genuinely imagine that even from the start MC was in danger of overbloting themself, with the stress and despair of finding out they aren't in THEIR world, away from their (family and/or friends) with possibly NO WAY BACK EVER because of some egocentric crow refusing to do more than he wants to???????
They would obviously be hella upset, stressed, depressed, anxious, etc because they know NOTHING of this world and is practically a BABY among people who lived here THEIR WHOLE LIFE.
So as more overblots happen, the more their OWN overblot is brewing. Bubbling, waiting to enter the game. Especially with the magic always getting slashed onto them. I think the only reason why they HAVEN'T overbloted just yet is because of grim
a more personal headcanon; Grim's fire, when you have a close bond with him, sorta starts erasing your blot and fueling HIS flames, making it more powerful. Essentially, think of when you're close friends with someone... you'll find it easier to fight for them right?? like you have more power to do that??? that's what its like
Now think of when MC is just TOO deep in their mind, TOO deep into their emotions and its the ONE TIME grim isn't there to help. They go to throw up blot and after panicking for a bit they just accept it. They accept that "I'm gonna overblot and probably die" because they're just too tired to worry abt themself
They don't tell anyone and since the overblot is already taking over the entire inside of their body, grims flames can't really???? get it all???? It'll always be there and it'll continue to grow and slowly grim notices that when he's feeling more powerful than ever while MC is showing obvious signs of getting ready to overblot
Grim choosing not to say anything to other people would be like... i guess out of character but at the same time i think In character????? He knows how tired MC is with dealing with everyone and honestly he's tired of it too so YASSS SLAY HENCH-BESTIEEE!!!!!
Sooner or later the others would notice too and it would be a little late to help MC since the overblot is already seeping out of their skin like they're crying. and honestly? their body IS crying. it's crying blot. And even as everyone is screaming and panicking about MC, they're just... sitting there.
Like they're annoyed everyone is making a big deal out of it considering no one cared before, and they're just like "stfu we're in class" and then focus on the teacher going "u can continue im sorry abt that."
And everyone is just??? confused?? because why aren't they going haywire or like.....???? idk..... crying in pain....????? what...........
MC just chilling the entire day while overbloting, even their overblot monster just floating behind them in peace and waving at times when people look for too long while everyone else is wary and giving them (+ grim who's always in MC's hold) a bunch of space while the teachers and dormleaders have their pens/wands/wtvr thr fuck at command just incase
but then everyone just realizes that??? MC isn't gonna???? do anything?????? and it kinda irritates them because why aren't you doing shit its freaking them out.
And lets say,,, ortho... as discreetly as he can... scans you. And it shows that you're perfectly fine??? like you aren't dying or in pain. It even shows the Blot monster being alright too like its just a guy standing there.
And now the confusion is up to 100 because WHAT????
MC and the Blot [+ Grim] just doing their everyday assignments and eating in the cafeteria with their friends being visibly tense and MC just raises an eyebrow like "whats wrong with yall tf" before continuing to absolutely DEMOLISH a burger they got for free. FREE!!! best day ever fr they'll tell you that much
I feel like the Blot would get sorta aggressive/protective when it comes to people who has like hurt MC to the point they had to take a nurse visit (half of the school but its alr we gang fr) but when it comes to crowley....??? They'll see the FULL POWER of a magicless blot monster which is actually more terrifying than the others.
The blot going hulk on crowley is so funny to imagine for me cause he'd just be running away and suddenly gets smashed into a pillar from a literal stomp. just one. and it was relatively weak compared to the Blot AND MC picking up and swinging that SAME PILLAR to smash it into crowley.
All that anger and other negative emotion finally coming out the SECOND they even so as HEAR that crows heartbeat nearby. It gave everyone whiplash but then again they also all collectively thought that he deserved it considering he hasn't truly done anything to HELP the students but just to HELP the schools reputation.
I'm half certain a student died there and he just covered it up and they turned into a ghost that haunts places. (i mean... look at the three ghosts in Ramshackle. they used to be students there I'm pretty sure????? i forgot.)
As MC is beating the DOG SHIT out of crowley the Blot is just cleaning everything up slowly because they realized that they dirted up the place :( and when MC is done they help too as the teachers all circle around a throughly beaten and bruised Crowley who has blood seeping out of his mouth while being half awake.
Of course they help him don't die because they honestly don't want the one helpful person to go to the equivalent of jail in twisted wonderland for committing murder and ykw thats so real.
I feel like as Mc stays in this overblot form everyone thats close-ish to them gets memories of things that's happened to them in the past like how MC did. But it's worse. I want an mc thats traumatized im sorry and i want it to be worse than what half of these guys went through.
I need them to feel guilty even more. Like. "Oh my god I really said that when— holy shit" FEEL BAD!!!!! Grim would already know their past because I know I would be cuddling into Grim's stomach and crying about everything.
When Mc finally stops "Overbloting", the Blot would still be there but as its own person :D How does this work????? it works bc I said it does.
The Blot™ would help MC a lot and vice versa, basically acting like parents now with how worried they get over everyone and the other. Grim is eating the attention up though as both Mc and The Blot cuddle as therapy (and bc they wanna)
Everyone (especially idia) would need time to like... get used to that because there's "NO FUCKING RECORD OF AN OVERBLOT BECOMING ITS OWN PERSON AND BEING....NICE?????"(shrouds words not mine ong) and when they do get used to it its like everyone is genuinely happier because! gasp! they are!!!
kick the crow out the seat. Both the Blot and Mc are the new headmaster contrary to the students voting them when Crowley got demoted from it.
I also feel like....??? Instead of MC goinf back home cause they realize just how BAD it was back home, they choose to have a bridge between both realities so that its their (friends and/or families) choice on if they want to be with them in twisted wonderland or not.
MC & Blot beating the shit outta Crowley as everyone watches (and cheers)

༻ My Soul ༺
“You are the knife I turn inside myself; that is love.” ― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
────────────────────────────────────────────
Malleus had a penchant for disappearing from the watchful gazes of others, to secret spots only he knew of, where he could be alone for whatever reason he desired. In only a day since arriving in Fleur City, Malleus already had a few spots to whisk away to. In this particular instance, he chose the underground tunnel systems.
You were brought along with him, never destined to meet up with the others as you had intended to. It was easy enough not to mind this impromptu escape and forget about all the reasons you shouldn’t be doing this. That in of itself was a reason, anyhow, to do something that felt wrong.
Something forbidden.
With Malleus’ hand on your back, he guided you through the labyrinthine of tunnels with confidence and ease.
“Have you been here before?”
“Only today,” was Malleus’ response.
His answer left you wondering. “How do you know where to go? I already feel lost.”
Malleus paused in his tracks and you were brought to a stop with him. He put a finger to his chin in thought. “I know not where we are headed.”
Your face dropped, and you almost felt like laughing. “Hornton, are you joking.”
To that, Malleus shook his head. “I would never lie to you, child of man.” His words made your heart flutter, as if he meant so much more than just this one instance.
When you didn’t give him a response, Malleus took that as his queue to pull you along once more. You didn’t mind the comfortable silence that fell over the two of you. Just as it was easy to speak with the fae, it was so, so easy to enjoy the tranquility with him. There was no pressure to fill the void for it was already with the other’s presence alone. What more could you ever ask for?
Nothing, that is what Malleus hoped your answer would be.
You were the only person who understood him, who could peer into his eyes and see him as more than the Crowned Prince of Briar Valley, or one of the five most powerful mages in Twisted Wonderland, or some to be both feared and revered, for you did none of that—rather, he yearned to worship you, but that was a conversation for much, much later. You didn’t treat him like something different. Through you, he could learn what it meant to be wanted.
Just as he wanted you.
You pulled your hand away from his, snapping him out of his thoughts. Once more, he stopped, and all too many emotions twisted his expression to something solemn.
“Sorry Hornton,” you spoke as you wiped your hand on your clothes. “My hand is really sweaty.”
Malleus frowned. “You have my apologies, child of man.” He took your hand between both of his, and you quickly caught on to what he was doing as tingles of cold licked your skin and dispersed the remaining sweat from your skin into nothingness.
“There, now our hands may remain entwined with one another.”
You had not the words to respond, and without realizing it, you were walking side by side with Malleus once more, hands clasped together, cooled by his magic so not even a single bead of sweat formed on your hand. It took minutes, many minutes to fully process Malleus’ kind and intimate gesture.
Although it was a bit of a dumb comment, you said, “Hornton, you don’t need to use your magic on me. I just get sweaty a lot.”
Without missing a beat, he replied, “I wish to hold your hand.”
And how could you say no to that?
“Okay.” Your cheeks were flushed pink, as were your ears, both from the cold and your own embarrassment.
As the two of you traversed the various tunnels, occasionally breaking the silence with short conversation, your heart beat fast in your heart like an overworked machine, pounding in your ear like a blaring siren, yet you felt this “siren” could only be good.
Malleus stopped you both after turning a corner and stood in front of you. He took your other hand in his and leaned close to your ear, muttering in a pleasantly spine chilling voice something so sacred to him, something taken for granted or spoken frivolously, something he knew you would not treat the same way.
With his given permission, you too handed over what to you was much the same, something so precious to the man before you, something that stirred the feelings in his heart and blossomed into something he’d never felt before.
This was true love.
────────────────────────────────────────────
The ornate halls of Noble Bell College were near-barren and almost eerily quiet. Only the sound of your footsteps echoing against a wooden floor shiny enough to be mistaken for glass or marble. You weren’t sure where you were in the school, despite having assured Malleus you knew exactly how to get to the others when he dropped you off. One could only imagine where he might be going so close to the social’s grandiose opening as most of the other guests and students prepared for the night’s spectacle that awaited them.
And what a spectacle it would be, but you didn’t know that.
”Good evening, Yuu.”
The sudden—and rather unpleasant—familiar voice that breathed into your ear nearly caused you to jump. You whipped your head around with a frown you couldn’t quite conceal when you were greeted with the sight of Rollo, who should have had plenty of other places to be in preparation for the event that was to come.
You swallowed your nerves and gave him a cordial response. “Good evening to you too, Rollo. Shouldn’t you be helping prepare for the social?”
Something in Rollo’s eyes seemed to jump out at you, trying to lunge forward and grab you, but his figure remained still. “Naturally I have many duties as the host of this masquerade.” He spoke with more venom than his greeting to you, but it was subdued as quickly as it appeared. “However, your absence from Night Raven College’s group upon their return did not go unnoticed. That familiar of yours was quite distraught, even to tears, if I may add.”
A pang of guilt hit your chest at the thought of Grim crying over your “disappearance”, especially so soon after the incident on the Island of Woe.
However, you replied with the one thing that had persistently been on your mind for much longer than you would openly admit. “What about Hornton? Did he go back with them?”
Rollo’s expression shriveled up like a raisin, and that was enough to brighten your spirits. You held back a laugh as he cleared his throat, letting his eyes fall shut momentarily in an effort to compose himself.
Funny, you seemed to catch him off-guard quite often.
Although Rollo knew who exactly this “Hornton” was, he feigned ignorance to preserve himself, or whatever other excuse he could conjure up to not acknowledge his enemy. ”Who do you refer to?”
”Malleus, I mean.”
Curse you for speaking his name, but bless you for not elaborating, even if you only didn’t to keep this conversation as brief as possible.
Curse those flames that raged in his heart, curse the fires of hell that licked at his feet, curse that malicious gleam in his eye that brought shame upon him.
Curse Malleus Draconia, yet another careless mage who found pleasure in the sin of magic.
Curse you, Yuu, for tempting a pious man into aphrodisia.
And curse Malleus Draconia once more, for threatening to take what was rightfully his.
Yet these curses were not spoken aloud. Rollo could not allow them to be more than fleeting thoughts, the ends of threads that painted his mind like a rainbow, chains that chastised his mind and left bruises in their wake. This was his own punishment, he needn’t act further.
”No, I have not seen him.”
Your shoulders dropped. It never crossed your mind to worry for Malleus’ safety before now. You didn’t want him to be alone, to miss the social (though you knew he wouldn’t be late after receiving a formal invitation), and you certainly didn’t want him to be in any danger.
Rollo could see the thoughts swarming your mind like a dark plague. This was his chance to be the light and show you the way.
”Surely you do not worry for the safety of the great Malleus Draconia? One could presume certain…feelings to be involved in such ways of thinking.” His voice shook as he spoke, which he masked with an expression of disgust as he fetched his handkerchief from his pocket.
Your cheeks flushed red before you could reply. The fiery pits of hell opened up for their next feast.
”Or, one might conclude such irrationality to be the work of magic.”
Everything was still in an instant, like a photograph ingrained in your mind, but Rollo composed himself once more and replied in a softer tone. “Go to the bell tower. I shall not ask you to climb all of those steps, so please wait at the bottom. I have an important favor to ask of you.”
Just like a lonesome ghost, Rollo left with not a single sound.
────────────────────────────────────────────
Had he been any other man or woman, Rollo could have feigned flattery at the prospect of being stalked by what most considered ethereal beauty.
All he felt was disgust at the monster who refused to leave him alone with his vice for just a single moment.
”Malleus Draconia.” His voice rang through the empty hall.
The man in question could only give him half a proper reply. “Flamme.” He strode towards the shorter man with fear-invoking confidence, but it was Rollo’s intention to stand his ground. “I see you’ve made special plans tonight, hm?”
��Surely you jest. We only wish to show the very best to Night Raven College’s esteemed students, but I am afraid I am unfamiliar with what may be a proper way to display my gratitude to such a unique group of people.”
Malleus chuckled. “Gratitude? For what, Flamme?”
Silence washed over them as Malleus awaited a response with genuine curiosity behind those sharp eyes. Rollo’s lack of a response only fueled Malleus’ irritation. He couldn’t be up to any good, certainly not with the way he had been acting. Malleus wanted to see the best in him after receiving that invitation, but how could he not doubt his intentions or ignore the way the boy looked at what was his.
Without a response, Rollo turned and left, and Malleus let him leave, because he knew the answer he dreaded was soon to come.

All righty
Ethan Winters Yuu-Except being a hybrid of mold there a hybrid of blot.They survive shit they weren't supposed ,lived through being burned, ripped up by leaves,and water blasted with the force of a power washer.
How Ethan got his heart ripped out by Mother Miranda.Yuu has there heart ripped or pierced either by lida or malleus.lida probably, then after doing a test finding out Yuu is more blot then human.
"Get up your journey's not done yet.You are still needed."
After Grim's overblot is defected they are fill with a sense of relief "It's over everyone's fine,we won,we won. Grim is breatheing.Its over"
Think of that scene of Ethan handing off rose but it's grim to Ace and Decue.This is when you body breaks apart,well Yuu just laughing saying, "We won boys come on,we won it's over".
Ace and Decue are just holding you ,well you body breaks apart in to blot or ashe.There will be no funeral to attend because there will be no body.The only thing left of them is the black and white tie of there unform.
Yuu died with a smile on your face. Completed what you where brought here to do.Like a true hero.
"The Aftermath"- Yuu is Dead
Soooo I kinda got carried away… This is after Yuu dies as i feel it would be much more angsty... Can be interpreted as suicide. Ortho is with the first year squad and admires Yuu as a sibling/parent. Gender Neutral.
There was a storm over the entirety of the Sage Isles since last week, courtesy of Malleus’ foul mood. No one could blame him though, for he was mourning his only friend. Everyone felt the impact of Yuu’s… disappearance as some called it, too afraid to call it as it was— death. There was nobody found, so how could they be so sure Yuu died?
They were lost, poofed back to their own world, alive and well— an idea Crowley even encouraged, he couldn’t handle the guilt. It leads to a lot of tension between certain groups of friends. Disgusted about the events that transpired. If Crowley was just a bit more competent…
"I hope Yuu is okay back home” “For the last time Kalim— They. Are. Dead."
“Even I thought you were more mature than that, Floyd, they’re gone.”
“In all of my years of living, I have seen people come and go, yet the pain of losing someone stays the same.”
“Yuu still isn’t back huh?”
Survivors' guilt was rampant. If only I were stronger, a certain wolf thinks to himself. If only I was more supportive, another duo agree. If only I listened for once, a croco-fae cries. If only I predicted this, a bot calculates. If only I was a real man, a farmer mourns. If only I were less greedy, the octopus sighs, curling away. If only I wasn’t so closed off, a servant huffs. If only I was kinder, the lion concludes. If only I wasn’t so vain, the queen mumbles. If only I tried to see things from their perspective a rose groans. If only I was braver, a fiery figure lamented. If only I was there, a dragon grieved. If only I didn’t— a housecat cuts himself off.
Ramshackle was duller than ever. A few students leave offerings and gifts on their doorstep. No one dares to touch them. Friends going inside to help clean. Even Jack found himself wandering into Yuu’s room, remembering how barren it is. Nothing to call their own. They never had a single personal item that they could claim as theirs. Nothing to remember them by. Ace finds himself laying on Yuu’s bed, remembering when he first slept over
Sebek struggles to walk through the door. Epel can only sit in the living room with his memory of the camp that was held here. Deuce can only pace around the dusty house, trying to tidy here and there. Yuu’s death hasn’t truly hit him yet, it hasn’t really sunk in for anyone yet, actually— judging by the fact Ortho is still calculating the possibilities of Yuu being alive that is.
Grim can’t even stand being in Ramshackle anymore. He sleeps in Ace and Deuce’s shared room, on the tie they left behind. He refuses to wash it in fear it will lose Yuu’s scent. May god have mercy on the first person to try and touch it. No one really knows what to do…
Sam gave away many free items to students so they can also make offerings. It’s the least he could do for the little imp. Vargas couldn’t push his students to do their best in P.E, he couldn’t blame them, even he has lost some motivation. Perhaps he should start a self-defense routine to teach students. Vargas remembers the many bruises and wounds on Yuu’s body from their many fights.
Trein was also much more light in his lectures. The loss of Yuu was heavy on his heart. He saw them as another child of his and even told his daughters about them. He remembered how they wrote about wanting to meet their honorary sibling. What was he going to tell them? He couldn’t save the only other addition he had to his family. It was like losing his beloved all over again.
Crewel was distraught. Yuu was his pup, you know? Yuu was one of the most responsible and kind students there were on this campus. They always went out of their way to help everyone. They were roped into everything. Yet they studied hard and always did the best in class. He often found himself left with them or working with them. He remembers draping his coat over Yuu when they fell asleep in his classroom after they passed out from exhaustion from their hard work. A domestic moment he hoped to have more of. They didn’t have parents right? Crewel never fancied himself a father figure but...
At least Yuu will hopefully rest easy knowing that there are no more blots causing issues.
A few more weeks passed, and many more went to leave an offering at the graveyards around Ramshackle. The first years have all decided to go visit Ramshackle together, hoping it could help with the mourning process. The whole way Ortho held Grim and buried his face in his fur to dry his tears. Jack held the child’s hand as they approached the dorm.
The solemn atmosphere between the group turned to shock when they see the state of the dorm. Run down and being torn apart. Crowley stood in front of the dorm as many sports club members helped to prepare for demolition.
“WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS CROWLEY?! THIS IS YUU’S DORM!” Crowley paused, the usual eccentric headmage now solemn. He turned around to face the young men, all of them in states of anger and shock.
“I am well aware of that, young Zigvolt. However, since this dorm is no longer in use there is no need to keep it around. It was costing too much in maintenance anyways.”
The crew’s eyes widened, Ortho shook his head in disbelief. “What in tha hell?!” “You can’t just destroy it!” Deuce sputters out in shock. Ace nodded in agreement, brows knit together. “Yeah, Deuce is right! There’s so many memories in here. Ones with Yuu—“
“Which is precisely why it must be destroyed.” Crowley retorts, his voice leaving no room for debate. “No one can bear to be around that dorm anymore.”
Ortho sobbed, “Y-you can't just do that! I won’t let you. They’re like my big bro! This is all I have left of them!” “I’m sorry Ortho, but it must be that way.” Jack tsked “So is that how’re your gonna be headmage.” You could practically see the disgust in Jack's eyes. A vein was threatening to burst out of Epel's head, Sebek looked on with a mix of pure shock and rage.
Deuce tried to hold back his delinquent side as he held onto Ortho to soothe the child, allowing the boy to hold onto his blazer and sob. Ortho allowed himself to let go of Jack's hand. Ace was so close to just going up and punching Crowley, the same way he did to Riddle. Until...
Grim piped up. “W-well now that Yuu is gone, I can be housewarden now! You can’t just destroy my dorm!” “If you remember what I said at the beginning of the year, you and Yuu were only half of a student. Now that they are gone, you can no longer attend Night Raven College.” “NYANI?!” “If you all want something from the dorm, get it now before it is completely scrapped.”
“So you’re kicking Grim out now too?!” barked the redhead, absolute disbelief dripping out of his words. “Yes,” Crowley replied, coldly, cruelly. It was off-putting. “If it wasn’t for him, Yuu would still be here, wouldn’t they?”

Twisted wonderland dorms x esmeralda reader
One day the dorm leaders (jamil instead of kalim for this one) finds a magical stone with the power to show parts of the past of someone close to them they choose not to use it to respect there privacy of that person but shenanigans ensue and the stone is used and there shown there dear SO’s past
This is the Disney version of the hunchback of notre dame
Heartslabyul-savanaclaw-octavinelle-scarabia - pomefiore-ignihyde-diasomnia
Heartslabyul
Riddle recently found this stone in the rose gardens he went to the headmaster about it and Crowley told him about it that it has the power to show him the past to the person closest to his heart
In riddles mind it immediately goes to his girlfriend yuu he knew nothing of her past and when he brings it up she goes silent so he chose to drop the topic to be respectful however what she’s did say was that she was something called a gypsy, and riddle had no clue what a gypsy was but accepted it
“Mister roseheart you should be careful for one’s past is one that shouldn’t be taken lightly” riddle nods he knows that what ever is in his partners past should remain hidden until they feel it is right to tell him
………sadly he did not get his wish for he has 2 idiots in his dorm
Once riddle comes back to his dorm he tell trey and cater about what he discovered what he didn’t realise was that a certain red haired and blue haired and grey haired overheard this conversation and one of them decided to steal it
Who came up with this genius idea well non other than grim he didn’t really listen into the whole past thing he thought it was like the black rocks he’s been eating so he hatched a plan to take it when the dorm leader leaves his office
Riddle finally left to go bust you but along the way he realised he forgot to grab a tart for you and your goat friend so he went back towards the dorm where he happened to bump into two panicked figures and three on the ground he gave a silent prey knowing this is gonna end with someone’s head off but went over to the five he finally realised who they where it was trey cater ace and deuce he walked over to them with a bit of a red face
“What is going on right now!?” His voiced boomed over the panicked lot
“Dorm leader we have a code grim” at that riddle became more red
“What has he done now!!??” He yelled at this cater points to ace and deuce on the ground holding grim and the stone in front riddle ran up and grabbed the stone but then grim gets free and goes for the stone in riddles hand, ace and deuce run up and grab grim and pull him back and cater and trey pull on riddle
As the conflict ensue no one noticed that the stone was glowing until it was so bright it couldn’t be ignored and everything went black
…………….
“Where are we?” A newly awoken ace aced rubbing his head he noticed he was now on the ground along with if partner in crime deuce and the other four riddle trey cater and grim the others soon awoke in a unfamiliar place
It was cold with no life to it the streets where empty and there was tall buildings towering over them with a lot of unfamiliar statues and a huge building with a round stain glass window
“Where In The sevens are we?” Riddle asked and soon it dawned of him he looked down and saw no stone and a place that wasn’t his down and his face went very…red
“YOU IDIOTS!!!” He yelled at ace deuce and grim with trey and cater behind riddle trey had a disappointed look on his face and cater had a sweat drop
“We are now stuck in the past with no way back until the stone has run out of magic!!!” Riddle yelled at the trio of idiots
“Mmmmmh I thought it was like the black rock” grim pouted and mumbled
“What was that?!” At riddle yell it immediately shut grim up but just as riddle was about to yell again cater spoke up to spare everyone’s ears and not trigger another overblot
“Who and what is going on??” Ace asked confused at the weird place and how everything was so different
“Didn’t you just hear what the headmaster said about the stone to be frank it shows the person past we have close to our hearts so I’m guessing me and grim where thinking about yuu” grim huffed
“That henchmen isn’t close to me at all sure she’s nice and caring and give me food I love like tuna but where no close at all!!” Grim yelled out, he obviously loved her In a motherly way I mean she did treat him like a baby
“So this is yuu chan home world wow” cater said trying to take a picture but all of them turned out blank
“Well that weird” he said putting his phone way and they looked around at the city
The scene before then turned dark and they couldn’t see anything just then this little blue orb with wings appeared
“Hello” it said with a high pitched cherrie voice
“Hello?” Everyone said but grim trey decided to be the voice of reason spoke up
“Can you tell us how to get out of here?” The little blue orb started flapping around and giggling
“Sorry silly billy” just then three items appeared suspended in mid air it was a small wooden doll which looked like yuu the second one was a golden headpiece which looked like a dancers and the finale item was a necklace with a cross in the middle it looked like it was made of string
“Each one of these items holds a key peace of her personality” the orb flew over to the necklace
“Her kindness” then it flew over to the crown
“Her passion” then flew over to the doll
“And a darkness” riddles face pales at the last line
“Pick one item and you can see into her memory but be warned once you’ve chosen a item you can only see memories connected to her personality so what shall it be her kindness her passion or darkness” the orb giggled and flew up in the air and the guys turn to each other
“Well it’s your choice riddle since you found the stone” cater said and the others nod
“Well we know she has a passion for dancing so I’m guessing that’s what the headpiece is gonna show us” ace said stocking his chin deuce then spoke up
“And she’s kind to everyone” the other nod
“Then that leaves the doll” riddle says and he thinks for a moment
“I think since rose is not here it would be rude to choose the doll….she can tell me when she’s read-” riddle was cut of by high pitched laughter
“Oh oh who thing I forgot to mention if you don’t choose a item one will be chosen for you also there was a time limit which started as soon as the item appeared which ends in 1 seconds” just as riddle was about to yell about rules the necklace floats down the scene changes to a bright sunny day with a bustling street
they see a cloaked figure fall into a tent riddle ran in with the others and saw the figure pull down a curtain as they fell and behind the curtain was riddles beautiful girlfriend in a house coat riddle went almost as red as his hair
“Who!?” She yelled out only to see the man on the floor and in a flash she realised he must have tripped into her tent by accident she helped him up as he covers his face
“Are you okay?” She asked in a much calmer voice the figure back away covering more of his face
“I didn’t mean to I-I’m sorry” she gave him a small smile and walked closer to him trying to help riddle gave a small smile to himself he loved how kind she is
“Your not hurt are you” she bents down to help him up and slowly took of his hood to check he was indeed fine but the boy protested
“No no no” she then lift his hood of to reveal a boy with a oversized lump over his eye and two grown out teeth the five of them took a step back slightly fearful however yuu appeared unaffected and smiled at the boy
“There are no harm done” the boy looked at yuu in shock as she gave him a kind smile
“Just try to be a little more careful” she led him out the tent with a hand on his hump just as he was out the tent
“By the way great mask” she pointed at him with a smile and closed the curtain leaving the group in wonder as the memory fades ready to show another
“Mmmmyaaaa he was ugly!!” Grim yelled out looking scared
“Hey we don’t talk about people appearances like that” oddly enough is was cater to say that to grim just as grim was about you whine again the next scene started the same boy was tied up on a wheel like devil he shirt ripped and a crown on his head with people throwing good at him the scene was hard to watch
“What the hell are those people don’t why isn’t anyone helping him?!!” Riddle yelled out as he was about to take a step forward trey was about to grab his arm to stop him when a familiar head of hair ran forward and he smiled knowing who it was
as she appeared the crowd gasped in shock she was untying a piece of clothing from around he waist she slowly knees down
“Don’t be afraid….I’m sorry this wasn’t supposed to happen she wiped of a bit of tomatoe on his face the group bar grim smiled at the scene but a voice broke the moment
“You gypsy girl get down at once!” He voice was laced with venom and riddle narrows his eyes at the man as he could sense something else in him but not knowing what
“Yes you honour just as soon as a free this poor boy” she got up and place the fabric back on he waist
“I forbid it!!!” He spat out riddle was clenching his knuckles knowing since these where memories he couldn’t do anything you looked back at him with a glare and took a dagger out and cut the ropes
“Okay first where was she hiding that and second does she still have it?!” Ace yelled out and everyone shook there heads…that was his main question
“How dare you defy me !?” He pointed at her
“You mistreat this poor boy the same way you mistreat my people!!” You spate back at hun cater turned to riddle
“What does she mean by ‘mistreat my people’” cater air quotes and riddle looks down honestly he has no clue much of you last his a mystery to him
“I wish I had a answer to that” they then look back at the scene
“ You speak of justice yet you are cruel to those most in need of your help!” He then stood up and waved his arms
“Silence!!!” Yuu the yelled back
“JUSTICE!!!” Honestly riddle and the other with in shock rarely raised you voice so you hear you full on scream was a shock
“what was that” the scene then fades to black then the blue orb reappears floating down
“I think that’s enough for one day you’ll be going back now hehe goodbye” and everything turns to white and there back where they where and the stone long gone as soon as riddle realised where he was he ran of towards the dorm he opened the door to see you humming and playing with you goat jolly
“Oh hello dear” just then yuu felt his arms wrap around them
“My my are you okay ?” He nods into your hair he then looks into your eyes and begins to explain everything yuu listen a little shocked then smiled
“well you’ve already scene a part of it” yuu then begins explain everything and let’s just say he was even more angry than ever how could that man do this to you also his distrust of the man was warranted that night he held you tightly In comfortable silence with jolly asleep next to you

Malleus' tamagotchi. A theory.
A theory that i haven't seen talked about a lot. {personally}
Going through pinterest and searching random stuff, i would eventually fall into TWST meme posts and more.
One of them is Malleus holding his tamagotchi, "Roaring Drago"/ "Gao-Gao Drakon-Kun" and something saying about it being an easter egg. This includes the comments explaining that a tamagotchi's life lasts 12 days at most. After it ends, you will get a new egg/respawn.
I can't find this currently. But i give credit to the pinterest post for this.
So, welcome to the tamagotchi theory. A blab since i was bored and don't have other twst fans to talk to.
TW: Unedited, English is still not my first language, poor grammar, poor punctuation, possibility of missed information, spoilers, I am only caught up to chapter six on lore. Haven't played it the past few months.
Through the comments, it had spoke about Malleus possibly restarting the world. Just so then he wouldn't have to see Lilia go away or humans such as Yuu, Sebek, or Silver pass on. I'm saying Sebek since he is half human half fae. Therefore, even as i am unknown of his life span, would most likely have a shorter span than Malleus since it seems that he is growing by human years and stages.
Sebek Zigvolt is 16[source]
It would make sense if Sebek Zigvolt had a life span longer than humans yet shorter than faes.
Other than that, we go to Yuu. It is known that Yuu may have a chance to get back. Even then, It doesn't matter, teh reaction will still stay teh same. Even if Yuu stays, they will age on since Yuu is a human. If Yuu were to stay in Twisted Wonderland with no way back, then Yuu would also die in twisted wonderland from age or other means.
We can delve into the Yuu and Malleus relationship as well.
Described as having a "...powerful aura that wards away most people from approaching him."
More may have been described as:
"...doesn’t get too friendly as he speaks, his calm, respectful yet cold tone always remaining and even those who want to get closer to him (like Silver or Sebek) fail to do as much as they wish to."
"Malleus himself does not interact closely with other students beyond Lilia, Silver, and Sebek... this is mostly due to others being scared and avoiding him."
"Despite enjoying time alone, away from his concerned and watchful attendants in exploring abandoned buildings, Malleus shows signs of loneliness and a desire to connect normally with others."
This description of him depicts of how lonely he is always as way of communication. Yuu was one of the people to introduce themselves calmly to Malleus. Even having the choice to call him a nickname, showing that how he hides his name is another way to show how he knows that people fear him. Yuu is as well the first to treat him without a sense of caution. Still treating Malleus as a friend even after being informed of him and who he is. It is safe to say he is quite friendly with Yuu.
As much as we wish TWST was an Otome, although the characters act differently (ex.Malleus, Rook, etc.) But, we can still say that They are still friendly.
With this, Malleus may have a tendency to be attached to such people in his close ad small friend group.
"...He is also said to have a naïve and childish side to him..."
I bring this up since I am as well afraid everyone i know may leave some day. Malleus is afraid of that as well seeing how he reacted to Lilia leaving and Yuu having the possibility to go home.
This is all for now since i have lost my train of thought. This may become a Repost thread, idk. I blabbed and blabbed. This is just a dump of everything in my brain.
None of this is to be canon, it's just a theory. If you have any thoughts then just comment or repost idk.

Malleus Draconia: Character Analysis
This is a character analysis of Malleus Draconia. Please keep in mind that I haven’t been apart of the fandom for a super long time, so I’ll probably get some things wrong. But I’m more than welling to have corrections, so if you see anything inherently incorrect on my analysis, please feel free to tell me.
Onto that character analysis --
Something I’ve noticed about Malleus is how inherently Fae he is. Which sounds weird, because he is a Fae, but I mean in the sense of how much Malleus was based around the old stories of Fae.
One thing being that he likes ice cream. Part of that reason, at least as far as the implication goes, is that he likes cold desserts in general. Which is true, probably because he is a dragon and can breathe fire, so he probably likes something cold going down his throat. At least, that seems to be the implication.
But another thing most people don’t know is that in older stories, Fae were known to like cream. In fact, Malleus himself when eating a melon, filled with ice cream, in the A Firelit Sky over the Sands, he remarks how creamy it is.
Malleus himself also has a bit of a playful streak. In-particular, I can think of is in Malleus’s gym uniform vignette and some of the events that happened in A Firelit Sky over the Sands, he messes with both Cater and Grimm, respectively. Cater in the way that he runs around when Cater tries to get a picture, and with Grimm how he moves so Grimm can’t get in his shadow. He even tells them the can both do the things they wish to, as long as they find a way to do it.
He also makes quite a few jokes here and there, but most people don’t realize he’s joking. This being because he constantly has to hold himself to a certain decorum because he is the first in line for the throne, and that typically carries over into when he’s playing a joke unless he’s being really playful.
Fae normalcy and Fae morals are also different from any other creature. Something Malleus inherited. Proof by the Halloween events and his actions. Even the other characters, human, beastmen, and mermen alike all say that Fae standards are skewed. Fae have such different moral standards that all the other creatures think its strange. Which, holds as far as folklore goes.
One could even category him allowing both Grimm and Yuu to call him Tsunotaro as his way of making a joke. He admits to Vil that part of the reason that he allows Yuu to do so is because he found it amusing, mainly because Vil calls him out on it for “messing with his juniors”. Malleus accusing Vil of the same.
Another thing would be how he doesn’t give out his name right away. Which, this is because he doesn’t want Yuu to know who he is, but names are important to Fae. A name holds a lot of power over someone.
This might be part of the reason he allows Yuu to keep calling him as such even when they figure out who he is, because he told them they could call him whatever they want previously. Fae’s are trickster by nature, but they always keep their end of the bargain and keep their word. He told Yuu they could call him that previously, so allowing them to do so is him keeping his word. As an added benefit, it’s a name that he finds amusing.
It could also be why he has such a superiority complex. Fae are known to see themselves above humans and have a bit of an ego. Which explains Sebek’s discrimination towards humans, and Malleus’ superiority complex any time we do get to see it.
And he does have one. He thinks himself superior to most. Either this be because of his magic, being Fae, or even because he’s a prince -- who knows -- it might even be all three.
But even with his superiority complex, he gets lonely because most people run away in terror. Or when his own subjects talk about him as if he’s some god, putting him up on some pedestal that he can’t get down from. He unknowingly also puts himself up there, because he does have superiority complex. He unknowingly flaunts his greatest assets but gets annoyed when people put themselves at a distance from him. A self-fulfilling prophecy in a way.
Especially if you consider he might be flaunting his assets to draw people to him, but ends up doing the exact opposite. But I can see it going both ways. To either scare people away or draw them closer.
It’s why he finds people with such a different reaction to him so amusing, because their reaction is so different. So he wants to keep them around for his own entertainment. Once again establishing that distance without realizing it.
It’s why he glorifies gargoyles and abandoned places so much. He feels lonely because everyone is at a distance, so he goes to the places that he relates to on some level. Abandoned buildings can be dangerous, and gargoyles are seen as things meant to scare things away, most people ignore them, so he relates to them. That’s why he likes them so much.
He also gets offended relatively easily, he does a good job of showing that he isn’t upset, more than likely because he is the next sovereign, but he does easily get offended. Another thing Fae do.
That’s not to he doesn’t care for people. He does. We see proof of this in Chapter Six in regards to Yuu. In regards to his retainers and guards in many other instances. But he doesn’t always realize he cares for them. For several different reasons.
One being, that he is always at such a distance to people. Because people put him up on a pedestal. So, he’s never gotten to sit down and really interact. His guards and retainers don’t count because he knows they have to hang around him because that’s their jobs. Not to say that they don’t care for Malleus and he doesn’t care for them in turn, but no doubt the presence of the imbalance of the power dynamics in the relationship is always there. They can’t get away from it and have to act within how their duty calls for.
He was also very isolated. He’s never gone very far from his castle, except for when he’s sneaking out. And people typically know who he is, so he probably never really stuck around to chat until Yuu came along. He’s been surrounded by Fae who live a very long time.
Everything has always been static for him. Nothing major ever changes because he grew up around people who isolated him from the world and move at a slow pace. It’s his normal. Where nothing major ever changes.
And then Yuu comes along, being the first major change in a long time. Its why he doesn’t realize he cares for them. At first he likes them simply for the entertainment that they provide, until he actually learns to care for them as themselves. Something so rare and foreign and outside of the normal, he doesn’t realize it until they are already gone. And even then, he doesn’t actually realize it. He’s just beginning to contemplate the idea that he *might* care for them.
It’s probably why Chapter Seven more than likely will be him coming to the understanding that things actively change and rarely is the world forgiving.
This probably seems more like a ramble than an analysis, but its just my thoughts on the subject. I might do more character analysis or maybe not. Is there anyone people would be interested in seeing a character analysis on if that’s the case?

Btw i love your writing and I hope you have a great day!!
𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲'𝐬 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭
| Notes: Hi, anon! No problem at all! I will just be honest that I won’t have that much experience here personally but my mom was always more chubby/thick so most of it I wrote thinking about her (and my dad, he has some strong Jamil vibes, especially bc he was the one that teached her how to cook lol)
I hope I made a good work in some way bc Jamil is just *chef kiss* in general. I love him in every scenario~
Thanks for the request <3 |
Jamil Viper x gender neutral chubby reader / fluff / crush to lovers / headcanons / use of “you” pronouns
Cherry’s Harvesting event 🍒 Masterlist
Beautiful Heart
From where Jamil comes — a large metropolis of the Land of Hot Sands — the people with the most fat in their body, in general, are the rich and wealthy who can buy and eat everything they want. At least, it is the most common. There are people of power thin as a rod, as well as poorer people who have managed to acquire some flesh and muscle. The whole world has a really variety of people;
You aren’t the only chubby person in the whole school, even if sometimes the feeling is that. Jamil may have first noticed you for your figure but it was very brief. He is a discreet and reserved person and doesn't get tied up in bonds if he can help it. When you two started talking, however, his opinions about you became stronger;
Both of you usually talk about nearly everything. Jamil feels curious about the things you like to do, your hobbies, studies and of course, favorite foods. Sometimes, flipping through a Viper's old recipe book that he always had on his bedroom bookshelf, Jamil finds himself wondering if this or that dish would make you happy. And he blush a little with that thought;
Jamil isn’t the type to judge by appearances, but he is cautious with you just as he is of everyone else. The way Jamil’s eyes squint, smile contentedly and say direct and at the same time so vague things, causes you the same strange fascination that he has for you. It's really like you're talking to a serpent;
But as time goes on, you gain Jamil’s trust and he feels safer telling you more about him — things he has even commented on but very superficially. You share stories and memories, discovering different and similar situations. You may not even realize it though, Jamil has a twinkle in his eye when he watches you laughing, remembering a funny occurrence from the past;
The place you most like to meet Jamil is in Scarabia’s kitchen, not for the delicious food he prepares but mostly to watch him cook. He doesn't know what you get so much looking at him, it's no big deal. But you likes to focus on his every little action. The way someone handles food says a lot about the person, you know?;
Jamil teaches you a few things about cooking, sometimes not noticing when he holds your cute chubby hands to show you how to hold the knife properly or comments a tip to you at the foot of your ear, almost in a whisper. You feel your face heat up and your heart beat fast, bewildered by his sudden closeness. But sometimes, you smile fondly in his direction and Jamil almost lets the onions burn;
Despite being discreet, Jamil has a dressing style of personality and you admire him for it. You ask him to accompany you sometimes when shopping to help you choose something or find an outfit that makes you feel beautiful and good. If you can't find a piece, Jamil offers you another one to try. The results are very good and the view, from where he is at, is magnificent;
If you want to lose weight or accept the way your body is, Jamil will be there to support and advise you. Be your shoulder friend and let you rest on his legs after a tiresome day, caressing your face with devotion — since you’re a beauty in his eyes because of your good heart. More than serving you as a friend, he wants to love you as a lover. You’re his precious jasmine flower;
The night you confessed your feelings to each other, Jamil prepared your favorite food. A delicious dish made by caring and talented hands. “I ... could always do for you. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, on our dating anniversary...,” Jamil said, smoothly, trying to disguise it. He wasn’t certain if you felt the same. But you took his hand and with a kiss on his cheek, agreed to his future schedule;
When you visited Jamil’s homeland for the fireworks holiday that celebrated the love story of the princess and the “street rat”, you both made a wish before launching the fireworks into the air of that glorious starry night. So that you will be together forever, no matter the circumstances. Jamil pulled down the peacock-green fabric curtain of your tent and you two kissed. Not the first and certainly not the last.
| Special notes: Jamil being smooth as heck in that one hc lol |

Glorious Masquerade spoilers #17
NRC boys are screaming (mostly Grim) as they are falling down after the floor caved in. Trein shouts for everyone to brace themselves, and uses his magic to soften the landing as they all come crashing down with a huge thud. As the smoke settles, we can see that our boys are once again outside beneath the roads out in the waterways.
Trein asks the boys if they are safe. Epel replies “Y-Yes. Somehow.” Yuu is relieved everyone is okay. Azul comments that those who couldn’t soften the blow of impact on their own seem to be safe thanks to Trein-sensei. “Very impressive, Trein-sensei! Of course, I used my wind magic to land on my own!” Good for you, Azul. Idia cries out “That’s cheating!”
However, the banter is cut short. Even in a place like this, the Crimson Flower is spreading. Ruggie notices that there are a lot more flowers than before. Riddle says it looks like the ground is burning. Jamil wonders if it’s Rollo’s intention to corner them in a place full of flowers, and drain them of their magic. Sebek calls Rollo a “cowardly imitation”.
Silver says they need to deal with the flowers, and not let harm befall Malleus. Malleus reminds him that the Crimson Flower absorbs magic and grows the more it consumes. What will they do? Rook says because Malleus is born with a wealth of magical power, it may not come to his mind right away. But, asks if there is a way to get rid of the plants without using magic. The solution seems to dawn on Malleus.
Grim is still unsure what Rook meant, so Epel fills him in explaining in hushed whispers. Grim excitedly is on board with the plan. Trein is pleased with the group’s teamwork. Grim shouts that before the plants can drain their magic, he’s gonna get rid of them. Our cat child is raring to go!
After the battle, Grim is out of breath. He says his hands hurt from holding so much grass. I guess their solution was to rip the flowers out. Azul can’t believe that the day came where he’d be on the ground plucking out plants and not money.😆 Poor Professor Trein’s wrists are hurting. He’s too old for this shit😭 Even Malleus is struggling with the weeding, having no idea it would be laborious. They can’t let their guard down.
But, just as he says this, Silver tells him the plants are beneath his feet. He urges Malleus to be careful. Trein says not to rush. Ripping the flowers out will take time. Idia is at his limit. He’s going to run out of strength before running out of magic. Ruggie, ever the expert, tells everyone to put more pressure on their feet. Their posture isn’t right. Even Epel tells them they can’t pull out the weeds with a hunched back. Yuu cheerfully exclaims they’re good at weeding. Of course, Sebek won’t allow himself to lose to humans!
After the second battle, Jamil asks if they got rid of everything. Even though it’s not his first time weeding, he’s pretty beat. Deuce notes that Trein has been crouching down for a while. Riddle asks Trein if he’s okay. Trein’s waist is hurting, and can’t seem to get back up. Ruggie can’t believe everyone was plucking weeds and complaining. This is practically something a kid in the slums would do.
Idia says he’s too tired to even get angry at the amount of weeds. Epel comments that he understands Idia’s and everyone else’s sentiments. He too used to help with mowing and weeding on his parent’s farm. The Crimson Flower has strong, long roots unlike regular weeds. Rook agrees. It was hard pulling just one out. He recalls that the plant was eradicated, but how did people manage in the past? Malleus doesn’t know. He never thought he’d pull a plant with so much fertility with just a hand.
Riddle says that the flower even breeds in places where there is no sunlight. It’s such a terrible flower. Azul notices he can see light at the end of the tunnel. It sounds like a frenzy outside. Malleus wants to know where they are. As they step outside, the moon is shining in the sky. They realize they’re out in the very waterway they visited earlier that day.
Azul says he read that the waterway channels were all connected. He mentions that they can see NBC above them. Perhaps, Rollo Flamme is… He may have been preparing to make the Crimson Flower bloom in the waterways. Malleus agrees. In order to bring back an extinct flower, appropriate equipment and preparations would have been necessary. With the underground waterways so close to the school, it would have been easy for Rollo to hide things. And, if the channels were the starting point for the flowers to grow, it make sense that they overgrew throughout the waterways. Idia wonders where Rollo got the seeds for an extinct plant. Nonetheless, Idia says Rollo is such a villain, and hopes he won’t disappoint. (Um, Idia…what?😅)
Their discussion is interrupted by screams up above. The flowers have sprouted further alarming the townspeople. People are screaming, shouting, and succumbing to the Crimson Flowers. Hearing their pleas for help, Jamil says most people would have let their guards down this late at night before going to bed. Deuce curses, knowing the magicians are being drained.
Silver can’t understand why Rollo is so angry. But, he realizes that Rollo has a deep hatred for magicians regardless. Sebek says who knows. Neither does he wish to know. Even though Rollo is a magician, it’s like he’s hating himself even though he sees magicians as the enemy. (It’s like you, Sebek. You look down on humans while being half-human yourself.) Anyways, Sebek can’t understand such perverse human ideas.
Azul says that Rollo hates mages so much, that’s basically the whole reason behind the exchange meeting. Malleus is surprised. Azul explains that it’s natural to think so. If Rollo hates mages that much, isn’t it obvious he’d round up all the students from all the mage academies participating in the exchange meeting using the Crimson Flower? Rollo was steadily preparing while they had no idea they were walking into a trap.
Malleus remains quiet. Idia comments that it was basically like a moth to a flame. He adds that from Rollo’s point of view, they were nothing but stupid bugs. Azul agrees, it’s making him quite angry. All of them, as Rollo said, were brilliant idiots. Idia continues by saying that Rollo’s aim from the beginning was Malleus.
Malleus still remains silent. Azul says it’s possible. Malleus is not only the best in their school, but also a world-renowned magician. The exchange meeting was merely an excuse to crush Malleus. Idia adds that the exchange meeting was simply to bait Malleus.
Trein mutters that Idia and Azul keep rubbing salt into the wound. Malleus still isn’t saying anything, but you can tell he’s starting to get pissed. Deuce asks Malleus if he’s okay. Jamil points out he’s been silent with such a stern expression. Epel says it’s not unreasonable. From Malleus’s point of view, he’s the reason everyone got involved. Perhaps he feels responsible.
Riddle says everything about Rollo Flamme’s intentions is speculation. Even if it’s true, Malleus did not break the law. There’s no need to be depressed. Idia mutters “A person who can’t understand the human heart, Professor Riddle…” Idia adds his line wasn’t meant to be comforting, but he’d say the same thing if he was in Malleus’s position. Azul agrees. Not just Riddle, but Malleus, too. Azul doesn’t think he has the audacity to be depressed by such things.
Malleus continues to remain silent. However, the familiar red glow of the flowers appears. Sebek shouts at Malleus that there’s a flower creeping up on him. Trein can’t believe there was still a flower lingering by. Silver pleads for Malleus to dodge it. But, Malleus simply smiles.
Silver calls out to him, worried. Finally, Malleus speaks. He understands now. Everything Rollo said was a lie. As he says this, electricity begins to crackle around them. The skies rumble, and lightning flashes. Silver realizes they have a problem. Sebek adds that Malleus is angry. Deuce is shocked. Angry? Malleus was depressed…
Malleus continues. The exchange meeting, and his own personal invitation, it was all a hoax. A plot to trap him. More thunder crackles, loud and harsh. Malleus declares that he cannot forgive Rollo.
Idia notes that Malleus is incredibly mad. Azul asks who it was who said such a stupid thing. Please, take responsibility! Rook says Roi du Dragon’s cry is heartbreaking. It makes his heart tremble when he hears it. Ruggie says it’s not his heart that is shaking, but the actual ground.
While Malleus’s thunder and lightning continues to tear the heavens apart, and the boys are shitting themselves, Silver comments how pleased Malleus was to be invited to the exchange meeting. Because he was invited, Malleus made preparations and read lots of books regarding the City of Flowers. Sebek adds that Malleus even marked the date on the callendar, and counted down each day as he looked forward to the trip. (Awwww💔)
Anyways, Silver says that Malleus’s grief is immense now that he’s been betrayed. Sebek says it’s very saddening. Jamil can’t believe this is Malleus’s response when he’s forced into a desperate situation when he’s mad. However, Malleus is on a rampage. HE THOUGHT HE WAS INVITED!!! UNFORGIVABLE! ABSOLUTELY UNFORGIVABLE!!!
Another fierce flash of lightning goes off as thunder loudly cracks above. The NRC boys are beyond scared shitless right now.😬

i love your villain kalim au but imagine an mc who is equally as cunning. like someone like william james moriarty. lmao imagine like the first years just playing along with kalim until he’s exposed.
i love evil kalim so much.
Of course!!! I've thought about that a lot- it opens up a lot of different possibilities! I also never heard of that character before, but when I saw his design and the plot of the show in general I just <<33333 might just have to watch it later
Villain! Kalim:
-He knew from the start that you weren't who you said you were. He could tell from the way your eyes would narrow on Jamil during the moments when things got particularly tough
-His first encounter with you was right before the Magshift tournament, and he could tell from the way you interviewed both of them that you were going to be troublesome
-Of course, he tried to use that to his advantage
-Kalim would act as bubbly around you as possible, bumping up his innocent personality a notch or two in order to avoid the suspicion you were no doubt raising around him and his 'personality'
-He would silently curse when he slipped, knowing all too well that he had been caught
-During Jamil's overblot, you were able to easily read between the lines and tell that, as Jamil woefully and manically explained as the ink poured from his eyes and mouth, Kalim was the problem
-He was livid
-In his world, his opulent world that he so carefully crafted from the second he was born into it, he was king
-And he was being toyed with
-To make matters worse, he was falling for it.
-He tried countless times to get the upper hand, with every attempt ending in him locking himself away in his room and throwing a fit as though he were a child again, pulling at his hair and pacing as more and more things that he hadn't thought about before started popping up
-He still had one thing; his status
-You were a magicless prefect and, although you were equally as cunning (if not more) as he was, you had nothing in this world
-Even when you got your friends into the act who were, admittedly, worse at hiding their intentions than you were
-He worked and worked at using methods that previously worked. Anything they needed magically appeared in front of them. Jack's siblings needed new ski gear? The latest, most expensive gear dropped on their doorstep with a lifetime warranty. Deuce's mom needed help with paying for groceries? Every market she would go to would allow her to buy the food for free.
-He thought he'd won.
-Until he was finally exposed, his years of abuse against Jamil brought to light to the rest of NRC
-His crocodile tears worked on some, but he no longer had that power that he thought he would have
-Kalim didn't know how you did it... managing to sneak away from his prying eyes and his sources scattered around campus. Jamil had transferred to another dorm in fear for his own safety, but...
-Kalim still had power over his family. He still had as much power as his treasure room could buy- practically enough to get him out of any crime and rival even the neighboring countries' royals.
-And he could hold that over the majority of NRC, he could use his wealth to get his spotless reputation back
-And he would stop at nothing to get it
-Especially from you
-(Though, if I'm being honest, Yuu/Mc/the prefect has too many powerful protectors in NRC for him to do much directly. Between the Rosehearts heir, the Prince of the Afterglow Savannah, the twins from the infamous Leech family, whatever Rook is [LITERALLY HOW IS HIS FAMILY RICH?? IS HE A PRINCE?? A NOBLE??], the two heirs to the Shroud family fortune and business, and the future King of the Valley of Thorns; he would barely stand a chance should he actually hurt you.)
"Prefect," You heard a somber voice at your open window, making you grin and turn around in your chair, reaching over to grab Grim in case the boy tried to do anything to hurt your beloved roommate.
"Kalim," The boy climbs through the window, carpet hovering outside for a few moments before soaring off. "I wasn't expecting you to come at-" You glance at the clock that ticks on the wall. "12 am."
The heir shrugs and merely walks around the room, scrunching his nose as he runs his fingers along the still dusty shelves. He pinches it between his fingers and sighs, turning his gaze to you. "Still can't clean?"
"What is it that you're here for, exactly?" You deadpan, standing and holding Grim protectively in your arms. The look in his eyes makes you weary. You're aware of what people with his status can achieve when they don't like someone, or when someone exposes their schemes. Your mind flashes with images of what he could do, of who he could hurt, trying to predict his next move as quickly as possible.
Who was next? He wouldn't hurt Ace or Deuce, would he? The rest of Heartslabyul would stay on your side, you were sure... but what about Trey's family bakery? Would Kalim go after that? He wouldn't be above manipulating Ruggie, due to their class differences, and you know that poor Ruggie can barely fight back if he really did try something. Jack wouldn't budge, unless Kalim threatened his family...
"I want to make a deal with you." He cuts off your train of thought as you sigh and lean back against the wall, an eyebrow raised.
"You sound like Azul," Kalim scoffs.
"Work for me."
"Hell no," You retort quickly, and you spot the annoyance that flashes over his features.
"If you do, I'll free Jamil and his family. The rest of your friends will be safe and taken care of for the rest of their lives. Doesn't that sound nice?" His voice shifts and it sends a chill up your spine at how easily he can change his mask- from cold and calculating to innocent and naive in a second. "You can finally be a hero, like you wanted."
"If I say no?"
"You wouldn't want to know that outcome," He grins. "I'm sure you already have an idea of what could happen."
"Fuck you," You snarl, trying to find any way around the options he gave you.
"I thought you would be used to it by now," He walks back over to the window, a skip in his step as he bounces and leans out, climbing back onto the carpet. He turns around and stares at you from the outside, ruby eyes staring deep into your own as you take a breath, putting on a nonchalant face. "You're in the villain's world, remember?"
You opt to stay silent as he smiles, face looking akin to that of a cherub's round and soft features- a deep contrast to the beast within the heir.
"Heroes don't last long here."
And with that he's gone as the window slams shut, a cold gust of wind following in his wake.
Which will you choose, Prefect?

ASHACE TRIVIA!
buckle yourselves in guys this is gonna be a LONG ride (click under cut for the trivia)
🌺 — Ashi has absolutely NO idea how makeup works 😭😭 “oh I know concealer! then it’s like eyelashes and eyeliner and eyeshadow and lipstick… uhh… and uh… uh… WHAT DO YOU MEAN DO I KNOW WHAT FOUNDATION DOES. HOW WOULD I KNOW” meanwhile ace over here is all “oh yeah that does that for that and blabalabahalh” and so it’s a funny dynamic of “ash, you’d look good w this” and “what. what is that” 😭😭 personally I like to think that ace does makeup on her for fun because a pretty face like hers has SM POTENTIAL that its like “??? HOW DO YOU NOT DO ANYTHING W IT???” and also the fact that. ashi’s one of the prettiest people at NRC and she’s completely natural is so good
❤️ — ashace has like. A LOT of dynamics within them (besties, besties to lovers, mutual pining, rivals, etc etc) but their romantic dynamic (AKA what I think most of y’all are curious about) is
ashi: teases/flirts w ace for fun
ace: teases back
ashi: malfunctions and has no idea what to do
ace: gets the upper hand
AND IT BECOMES LIKE THIS LIKE. ONCE ACE GETS FED UP W CONTAINING HIS FEELINGS AND JUST GOES “SCREW IT” and that causes Ashi to fall for him and BAM. ashace canon
not to mention ashi’s like a gigantic tease for fun 😭😭 she just uses her charm to see how many people she can make fall for her as like. a personal challenge <3 even tho she’s straight she won’t hesitate to see if she can make chicks fall for her too
SHES LIKE. THAT STANDARD “flirty chara but has no idea what to do when flirted back to” YK
🌺 — ON A MORE NON-FLUFFY HAND…….. man. the inferiority issues ace has dealing w both Ashi and deuce………. BOOK 5 IS SUCH A GOOD BOOK FOR ASHACE DEVELOPMENT BUT IT HURTS SOMETIMES.
SPOILERS FOR BOOK 5 BUT LIKE so in another AU (called yuuniverse might talk about it more another time; but the yuus can basically learn magic as long as they work hard enough) Ashi reveals her UM in book 5 😭😭 and its like?? she’s aware that Ace could totally feel inferior when two of his favorite people end up getting a head start over him but she reveals hers because “deuce hasn’t gotten his yet so Ace’ll have deuce” and then BAM deuce gets his. AND IM LIKE??? POOR ACEY…
but even just canon where ashi’s magicless she’s just so naturally talented and excels at so many things w such ease that like YAY ACE HAS COMPETITION. BUT THE INFERIORITY ISSUES RHAT COULD STEM FROM IT….. UGHHAGSHVWSHWH yeah. them
❤️ — Ashi freaks the hell out and bursts out red when ace grabs AAAANYWHEFE LIKE. around her midriff/hips and once Ace figures that out she’s done 😭😭 tryna tease me??? yoink I’ve got your hips <3 she loses all power
TBH on the other hand I do think that ace would freak w anywhere on his head??? like head pats head scratches blabalaha <3 v cute and he’ll melt into Ashi during cuddling sessions v easy
🌺 — ashi has baby hands. no matter WHO she compares them to THEYRE ALWAYS A GOOD CHUNK TINER like maybe even just the tiniest bit bigger than orthos. DUNNO
but ACE MAKES FUN OF HER FOR THIS ALL THE TIME but alas he still loves holding hands w her 😔 even when they were just friends
❤️ — SPEAKING OF JUST FRIENDS……. Ashi has a habit on grabbing onto people’s arms and leaning her head on people’s shoulders when she likes them (platonically or romantically) and w ashace they hang out SO MUCH that Ashi pretty much always does this 😭😭 espec when she’s tired, she’ll just lean her head on ace’s and close her eyes and fall asleep maybe 🙏
🌺 — ………if ashace have kids the two names they’re planning for are Avila and Alexander (Alex can go both ways, avila’s for a girl <3) to keep the trend of having every family members initials be A.T. 🫶 speaking of initial’s ashi’s and Ace’s are the exact same already 😭😭 both are A.T. (totally not foreshadowing I swear)
❤️ — ace pops by ramshackle for sleepovers WAYYYYYY more often than he does in canon and he NEVER STOPS TRYING TO SLEEP W ASHI. after a while she lets him because they’re close enough friends but like DW THEY DONT GET TOO IN CONTACT. maybe pre-relationship there’s some tickle war’s and movie watching but they don’t cuddle 😔 once they DO get into a relationship they cuddle and ashi’s the little spoon and it is so cozy because her bed is covered in pillows and fluffy things <3
🌺 — Leona legally (and secretly) adopts Ashi during her time in twisted wonderland (they’re like annoyed older brother and annoying little sister dynamic to the max) and Leona’s really protective of her, and so you BET when ace gets w Ashi he has to talk all smooth around Leona if he doesn’t wanna get pummeled 😭😭 for all Leona yumers out there you’re basically ashi’s mom now (sorry not sorry DW she’s responsible)

Is it just me or is anyone else creeped out by Rollo being so nice to MC?? He goes out of his way to say nice things to us which is weird almost like he’s trying to get on our good side for some reason. He also suspiciously knows a lot about MC already. I’m thinking Rollo wants to use MC for something maybe related to Malleus. What are your thoughts on this?
I don’t know if I’d call it outright “creepy”, but I do feel mildly unsettled by it?? There’s also a few scenes where Rollo is implied to just be… staring at the NRC group (his portrait shows up on screen, but the dialogue box only reads as “. . . . .”), which I personally find a lot more disturbing. I just don’t like being watched 😭 I feel like it could all be foreshadowing something!! (… though it’s also possible that I’m totally overthinking this 💦)
For context, Rollo greets the NRC students when they arrive on Noble Bell College’s campus. He speaks politely, but the NRC boys remark that he looks angry. (Note: Rollo’s character portrait is not actually glaring most of the tome; the NRC boys are likely referring to him as having a resting bitch face 😂)
While showing the guests around campus, Rollo reveals that he knows who everyone is, as he read the materials provided to him by Crowley. Rollo lists off their full names, as well as relevant positions and titles—but when he noticed Yuu and Grim, he notably becomes a little chattier and even… friendly? (Like, he even smiles a little bit.) “It must trouble you (someone who cannot use magic) to be surrounded by magic users everyday,” Rollo says. He lifts his arms and invites Yuu to relax, then adds (with the scene shifting to include Malleus), “… and that goes for the rest of you as well.”
***CONTENT WARNING: I will be briefly discussing a theory which involves racism and war below the cut, so please read at your own discretion.***
If these lines have any meaning in the grand scheme of things 🤔 I think (well, considering Rollo’s Disney inspiration) that this could play into any potential prejudices that he holds? A lot of fans are already speculating that Rollo holds anti-fae sentiments, and, from a certain angle, one could argue that his off-handed remark to Yuu supports that theory.
Think about the wording and the history of Noble Bell College. What the students at NBC value above all else is maintaining fairness and righteousness, just as its founder, the “Just/Righteous Judge”, did. Then, consider that Rollo seems to express sympathy for a non-magical human stuck at a school of mages in training. And then add the fact that fairies are implied to be more magically inclined than the other races; only a mere 10% of humans can use magic (and at the most basic level), whereas fairies have magic so plentiful that they utilize it for everyday activities like flying to their destinations.
With all of that in mind, it’s possible that Rollo’s line of thinking is this: “if this world were truly just, then magic users and non-magic users would be equal”. However, because fairies are a race that are more magically inclined than, say, humans, this causes an imbalance. Perhaps Rollo thinks that this disparity is not “just” as the Just Judge would want the world to be, and goes about administering his own judgment to “right the wrong”. Maybe Rollo himself isn’t a strong magic user (we’ve only seen other characters so far assume he must be powerful due to his position as student council president) and must rely on tricks or magical items to get ahead, which amplifies his hatred for those born lucky or gifted. (Alternatively, maybe Rollo is a powerful mage, but just cannot compete with Malleus’s natural abilities, which causes jealousy to brew??) And maybe he despises Malleus in particular because he’s the very public embodiment of all that Rollo sees as “unfair” in the world?? (Malleus has political influence, money, magical powers beyond belief, etc.) Maybe this all ties back to the aftermath of the human-fairy war that is sometimes mentioned???
It’s very… twisted logic, but sometimes it’s the worst of people who think they’re the best of people. They so deeply believe they are in the right and try to go out and act on those beliefs 😔 If this does end up happening, I think that would actually make Rollo one of the most disturbing antagonists we’ve seen so far in TWST—because that arrogant way of thinking perpetuates a lot of hatred in the real world too.
… Buuut of course, that’s just a theory 😅 A gaaaaame theory
I think the other popular theory floating around right now is that Rollo actually admires Malleus and wants to be his friend...? But his behavior comes off the wrong way because of Rollo’s face naturally looking like he’s always scowling or unhappy. That’s a more light-hearted take, I guess!

Oooo can u show ur ideas about the EAHxTWST crossover thingy?
Screaming! Thank you for asking!!!
Okok so it's all over the place but i was definitely thinking about the a crossover now that Mattel and Disney are partners again.
So my idea was like, wibbly wobbly mirror stuff happening and most of the EAH cast end up in Wonderland. They're confused at first bc its not the WL they know. Even more so, they're thrown into NRC and are confused.
But unlike Yuu, they get placed into their corresponding dorms (with characters like Cherise being in savanahclaw, cedar in prolly octa or hearts).
Now here is where shit gets fucky. Their history's conflicting. I think the most interesting ones will be Raven and Faybelle since the QoH is just kooky and villanized bc shes neurodivergent.
Raven and Apple (and Hunter ig) in Pomefiore
Id imagine that Raven would be the most conflicted on the queen since her mother is a POS. There are rumors around the school that they are descendants to the corresponding historical figures. Her relationship with Vil would start pretty strained since their personalities would conflict so intensely. Vil being straight laced and no nonsense while Raven is pretty easygoing and expressive. Plus, Raven improvises a lot so it would make him wonder if she truly belongs. But the mirror doesn't lie. It holds more truth than anyone realizes.
Plus the whole "beautiful" thing got lost on Raven so she probably won't gel with keeping up appearances.
Raven would probably get along with Epel but not Rook. Epel is often misunderstood like she is and I think that he'd connect with her on not fitting in. Rook is just weird and...I almost forgot about Hunter that shit would be hilarious. Hunter would def learn how to be a better hunter but at what cost?
Apple and Vil would get along too well. Rather than seeing her as another Neige, he would give her more credit to her underlying poison. Much like Raven's mom, Vil would straight up call her out on how it's a facade for how "evil" she is underneath. It would certainly shake her. She's relentless. She was made for Pome. The most compelling story here would be Apple realizing her dark side and being "a villain".
Im getting a kind of School of Good/Evil vibe from this dynamic but given that morality isnt black and white, it would be about accepting the dark side of your personality while maintaining the light in you. Nobody is perfect, not even the beautiful.
Briar and Faybelle in Diasomnia
Ok so I am very tilted with how Fay and Briar get shafted in the original series. Faybelle rarely shows up except to be the butt of a joke. Briar is is gonna sleep longer than Apple and her friends just joke about that shit even tho everyone will be dead when she wakes up. But I digress.
Faybelle would look up to Malleus especially because he's connected to the dark fairy just as much as she is and he's fuckin OP. It leaves her...feeling less than. Her mother would most certainly value Mal over her. And it would put her in a bit of a depression. Her magic isn't as strong and coupled with her conflicting aspirations, Fay would feel as if she may as well give up. She's been beaten by someone who isnt even from the same realm as her.
Mal of course would notice this and be a pretty good grandson shoulder to cry on. After all, she's doing her best and still gets no credit. Fay is also lonely and rarely gets invited anywhere (cursed). She has great potential and pleasing her mother will hold her back. Since she's not a princess, she also doesn't have to shoulder a responsibility that would inhibit her from being a cheerleader and a powerful fae.
The arc for faybelle would be her overcoming her fears and being her own person rather than imitating her heroes. I think lilia would also help in that too since he's fascinated by her.
Fay would get along with Silver since hes so low maintenance but Sebek would bother her simply bc hes annoying. He would probably err on the side of caution and regard her with similar respect as he does with Mal. And it bugs her over time. Thsts the joke with that.
Briar would be a little sore about being in Diasomnia. She doesn't look like she fits in with the aesthetic and being around intimidating fairies would be new for her. But I think she would find her stride. To her surprise, she's a powerful and great mage, but it would also be hard for her to accept. In the back of her mind, she'd wonder if following Apple as a Royal was worth keeping up with. Briar is just different from her friends and she's been denying that even though she sabotaged legacy day by throwing the book into the well.
Briar would probably ask to train with Silver and Sebek. Apparently shes surrounded by brothers amd she does have a sort of rough-and-tumble personality if it means having a new experience. Thatd be the most fun for her and i think she and Silver would prolly fall asleep all over the place together. Oh, she'd also like to hang out with Kalim and try to get into Scarabia, but before she can actually finish the paperwork for all that shit, she'd figure out that she was already in the right place.
Miscellaneous thoughts
Really quickly, the Wonderland kids would most likely see a bit of a power struggle between Lizzie and Riddle. Not because they're both Like That, but because their rules are slightly different. They really do have the same temperament to the T so as long as they compromise on the nuances of the rules, they'd co-lead pretty well. Honestly, theyd have the most wholesome of interactions and Riddle would probably be a little envious about her relationship with her mom. There is nothing but love there and he wished he got that kind of affection from his own mother.
Cherise and Ramona end up in Savanaclaw of course. This is how people find out they are sisters and Leona would feel some type of way about the royal/rebel thing. He'd think its a dumb conflict but he'd def be a rebel in their eyes. Also he'd be recruiting the girls for his team since they are really good at it.
Cedar would maybe be in Octa, but shed struggle with the tweels and azul being privy to her truth-telling. On the one hand, she'd be an asset to the lounge. On the other, she'd be a liability to the lounge. They would have to purposefully omit information from her so that it doesn't get used against them. And despite being in Octa, she and Ortho would be besties for sure. They're the same in plenty of ways but Ortho would point out that she can do things human girls cant. And she's also plenty real already despite being wood. That'd be the heart of her development. Something like that would be hard to accept up front but in time, Cedar would realize it.
Speaking of which, Cupid is in Ignihyde. She'd be a fucking menace to all those incels and especially Idia who wants to avoid everyone. Theyd def find conflict in one another and Cupid is nothing if not persistent. If he won't love anyone else, he could at least stand to love himself. This would be a comedic side plot. Dexter is also in Ignihyde.
Brooke is in Ramshackle with Yuu. Thankfully she has her own magic so she need not be 1/3 a student. She's fine with this but losing her omnipotence and being able to write her own story is kind of mindblowing to her. Think of one of us being isekai'd into our fav tale. Brooke is just us in that regard. As much as I don't like Brooke, I think she would be the reason all this happened.
