WHAT

[Other May 2024 JP server news!]

MY EXACT THOUGHTS 😭 After 4 long years… TWST has finally given us the elusive bare Rook arms and his Savanaclaw era design???????

Look at how well-defined his arms are, the Magical Archives was NOT lying about his secretly buff physique… The curly hair??? Freckles???? Ripped T-shirt sleeves???? Even the brows are noticeably different… THE GASP I GASPED WHEN I LAID EYES ON THIS DUDE OTL It’s suuuuch a drastic change???? Vil described Rook’s Savanaclaw days so… well. A little TOO well… (I laughed a little upon realizing Rook always wore some iteration of a hat; in this context, it feels more cowboy-ish.)

ALSO I THOUGHT BRO WAS CARESSING VIL’S DORM UNIFORM WHEN I FIRST SAW THIS CARD (then I looked closer and realized it seems to be Rook’s bed). The floor pattern does not look like Rook’s room though…? Did he just. Yoink some Pomefiore fabric and hide out in a rando’s room to admire it??? THAT’S AN EVEN SCARIER THOUGHT…

I feel like this is a fever dream that I can’t wake up from 🤡 This right here, officer… This is what my sleep paralysis demon looks like… He T-poses in the corner of my bedroom and watches me sleep while whispering “omelette du fromage” 💀

I didn’t think we’d be dream-hopping to every individual student’s dream to pull them out of it because that feels like such a time sink (and book 7 is already so long), but… why the sudden limited Rook banner drop to go with a book 7 update???? Are we actually going to be waking everyone up one by one…? Well then that also opens up the possibility of a book 8 since there’s no way TWST could cram all this dream hopping AND cleanly resolve all the other lingering questions (Grim’s origins, Ace’s UM, Crowley’s motives, why was Yuu brought to Twisted Wonderland, etc.)????

How fitting that it’s the enigmatic Rook Hunt to send us all spiraling and questioning everything JUST BY SHOWING UP IN NEW (old?) THREADS…

Vil. When I catch you Vil.....VIL, WHEN I CATCH YOU VIL! I SWEAR TO GOD! YOU TOOK AWAY THIS MAN'S RIZZ! HE. HAD. FRECKLES! What did you do?! Why did you? I know I made a post defending you but after seeing what Rook was before....I can't keep defending you Vil....

General Lilia who loves you so much that every time he leaves, he whispers a promise of coming back to you safe and sound.

General Lilia who spends his time keeping watch thinking about you and wondering if you’re safe and sound despite being the one in the front lines of a war that seemingly has no end.

General Lilia who always comes back to you first, dropping his gear the moment he sees you waiting for him and pulling you into his arms. His face buries itself in the crook between your neck and shoulder, pressing soft kisses and taking in your scent and your warmth as you laugh at his clinginess.

General Lilia who sighs in bliss as soon as his body hits the water of the springs. He sinks into it, feeling all the weariness wash away as he hears you in the background fussing over him and looking over his body for any injuries that he might have hidden.

General Lilia who collapses into the bed with you, his arms tight around your waist as he buries his head in your chest. His ear pressed upon the left side to hear the calming beat of your heart to remind him that they haven’t gotten to you yet and that you’re here and alive.

General Lilia who wakes up early as always, looking up at your sleeping expression from his place on your chest before pressing a soft kiss to your heart—his heart—then getting ready for another day on the field.

Mother's Sacrifice

LOOK AT MY SON!! Even though he's scared, he's still willing to protect Yuu...

So the reason why Malleus doesn't have any other blood relatives is because dragon fae literally cannot be conceived without love. It's implied that Malleus' grandpa's long been dead so Maleficia is unable to bear any more children, and Malenoa died before Malleus was even hatched.

So that's why they insisted that Malleus be absolutely absent in the whole Phantom Bride debacle. He's not allowed to be "married" to just anyone-- not for jokes and not even for political reasons. It's the kingdom's priority to continue this family's draconic bloodline no matter what, given that they're practically Briar Valley's gods and their citizens are highly dependent on their identity as dragon fae. They can't do that if Malleus doesn't naturally fall in love.

Absolutely had to draw that baby lizard the moment I saw him
