Y’all I just thought of something really freaky(in the bad horrifying way). If Malleus might be the hunchback in the glorious masquerade event. And Rollo is obviously Frollo. Then are we, the player, Yuu, Esmeralda????

Like think about it, he might hate Malleus for being Fae. But what’s better than a fae in Rollo’s eyes is a completely, magicless, human. Someone who is entirely pure through his disgusting pov.

Let’s be honest, we all get creepy perv vibes from him. We just gotta figure out who he’s being a perv to.

I hope Yuu does this to Rollo if this is the case:

After knowing what we do in book 7, the real reason Lilia wasn’t included in Glorious Masquerade was because he would have straight up murdered Rollo in cold fury.

No buts or ifs, no excuses.

Rollo tried to hurt his boys: one of which took forever to hatch and is all he have left of his best friends/siblings and sees as an older son, another is a son he raised himself from the cradle he found him in, and another is the grandson of his best friend and is the youngest he loves to toy with.

And Rollo tried to kill them??

Lilia would have straight up taken his hatchet and don the mask of the General in how angry he would have been and no one would know.

For all anyone would be able to tell, Rollo would have fallen to his own plan tragically. Maybe even pushed off the bell tower into a bed of crimson flowers.

No one the wiser.

(He’s had blood on his hands from war, what’s one more?)

Azul was freaking SCARY during this part Ngl lmAO imagine blasting this guy with your most powerful spell and he starts laughing like a maniac with hollow eyes and SHOTS you unexpectedly with an even more POWERFUL spell😂😂😂

I would love more insane Azul ✨✨✨✨ being businessman prim doesnt suit him as much as this lol

Also I FELT this part lol its really nice seeing Rollo get beaten up after his nonsense 💥💥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Go get him board game club‼️‼️

I love the buildup towards this part. Malleus was written as if he was intimated by Rollo during the fight, but then his mask of being "weak" falls off and its actually revealed that he is not intimidated by Rollo at all, in fact the way this scene's vibes gives off??? He was looking down at him, with his 'plans' and his stupid delusion about antagonizing him.

I love when TWST reminds us that Malleus is a king. ✨✨

He hides off this personality that he truly believes he's too superior than anything, that he's undefeatable.

Not gonna lie y'all, I think Malleus won't be defeated by the flowers, he emphasized this from the start, that he's fighting Rollo because the flowers will be problematic for Briar Valley, but not him yk.

Plus, this is Meleanor's kid😂 Mother didn't birth a weak dragon‼️

I think this part also mirrors in Book 7 where the Silver Owls was convinced they caught Meleanor but she just laughed at them and declared that they'll decimate every human in her sight for being insulting as to think they can ravage her land and defeat her lol.

Also the fact that Henry basically narrates her as if she's the villain of humanity by calling her a witch... It parallels to Rollo seeing Malleus (even though he didn't do anything) as the root of all evil yk.

Also possible theory for the Kind Bellringer and the Just Judge??? We all know that their story is written more peaceful here than the Disney movie.

But one thing that's strange is that No one knows what the Bellringer was fighting for even if he's considered a hero of Fleur City-- at the same time, we don't know how Rollo even got the flowers (aside from studying ancient flora)--- Basically, Fleur City lore has many plotholes and no one knows what it is and why is that-- Its like Briar Valley history...

We know the crimson flowers are a reference to the scene where Quasimodo released lava around the Notre Dame to prevent Frollo from entering....

What if in Fleur City as well,,,, Quasimodo (as the Kind Bellringer here) rebelled as well against the Just Judge (Frollo) as well?? But the Just Judge is instead credited as "the saviour of Fleur City" because the evidence of the Bellringer acrually being the saviour is burned up or smth, thats why Fleur City's history has many gaps in them...

Also the Just Judge being the actual villain in the history but remembered as a hero now because of misinformation.... It matches Rollo's punishment that he'll forever be complimented by the actions he didn't do, and its up to his guilt whether he can stand living as a fraud who actually harmed the same people thats highly regarding him rn.

LMFAO GRIM????? DONT BULLY GRANPA TREIN??? YOU SILLY 😭😭😭😭 I wanna hug Grim he's so cute in this event.... My unruly son 💖💓💖💓🥹

The gargoyles are so cool🥹🥹🥹💖💓💖 How does Malleus differentiate them... 💥

Also this makes me wonder.... Why Briar Valley doesn't have talking gargoyles??? Isn't Briar Valley a magical nation??? Talking non living things should be a norm for them lol

but Malleus feels like its his first time ever with a talking gargoyle lol

ISNWIHBDHIWHID HE REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS "MAL" .... CAN YOU BE MORE CUTER THAN YOU ALREADY ARE 😭😭✨✨🫶🏻✨🫶🏻💓💖💖💖💖

he really loves nicknames rather than "titles" because people who gives him nicknames isnt shackled by the expected decorum of meeting him-- therefore these people are not acting and they are sincere with talking with him, it helps with the connection and feeling like he belongs 🥹🥹💞💞💞

I COULDN'T RESIST COMPLIMENTING GRIM AAGHHH MY CUTE AND ADORABLE AND HANDSOME SON YOU ARE MOST PRECIOUS THE ADORABLE HERO OF FLOWER CITY 💓💞💖💓💞💖

I love how Grim ran the moment he heard that someone is doing a celebratory toss lol The goofy running sfx lol 😂😂

I love how teasing Silver and Sebek was here lol Threatening to toss Idia in the air omg.. He's traumatized already from walking the stairs lol The way Sebek and Silver can be unexpectedly playful... it feels so... "Lilia taught this to them didnt he..." 😂😂😂

WAAAAHHH YUU CENTER ATTENTION YAY YAY 💖💓💞💖💞💖💓 i love how he used his sultry smile here though lol .... He knows we waiting for his undivided attention yiiiee✨✨✨💞💞💞

Also i hate this translation part.... In the twst JP Malleus dialogue shows the specific lyrics of "Make a Wish" hes singing rn but in TWST EN IT DOWNGRADED TO JUST " *SINGING* "l

also on the twistune, twst JP shows the lyrics but on twst en, theres none.... I don't get why they arent translating it... This game is for people who dont understand Japanese?? So its natural youre going to translate everything for us non japanese to yk... Atleast understand without googling for translations???

YEAAA PHOTOGRAPHER YUU HERE THEY SHINE 📸📸📸📸📸😎😎😎😎 be proud your mages still have magic crowley lmfao 💥💥💥

Also i hit the image limit now... But i love the Cinderella reference from Trein's dialogue ✨✨✨ that Yuu taking pictures of the ball can make the other uninvited students more jealous lol

Its a reference to how Lady Tremaine plotted against Cinderella just for her to never attend the ball... ✨

I like this event ngl, but I feel like Rollo's story was kind of rushed ngll jdnfiind we never found out why he's so angry at Malleus, how did he even come to the conclusion that killing Malleus is killing magic, bruh...🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Malleus is not even the top 1 strongest mage??? 😂😂

Also i feel like this event was made for Idia instead, it felt like Idia was the main character imo...

I just feel like the event couldve given their dynamic more light because its so intriguing that they went to similar trauma but have different outcomes...

In a way Rollo is what Idia wouldve become if he continued tormenting himself for Ortho's death alone...

He said to Rollo that "is removing magic what your brother wouldve wish?" I think thats very telling that even if its tragic that Robot Ortho's creation was fuelled by Idia's grief and defiance that Ortho is forever gone, it was suitable for Idia's pain to remind himself that Ortho wouldve wished he goes on... as is very telling of Book 6's ending about Ortho's refusal on Idia's suicide by going with him on the Underworld...

also because I think Rollo would need some person like Idia whos blunt for regular reality checks just so he wouldn't blinded by his delusion again and ransack the world 😭😭

If MC consumed a firelotus, would our dear prefect have magic?

Since these flowers absorb magic, you would just have to ingest them to obtain some, right?

Unfortunately, I don't think we know how the magic system works in Twisted Wonderland.

We can have 2 hypotheses

1) Magic is a force that anyone can use if the user possesses it:

-Human who can produce magic (who uses it)

-Human who does not produce magic (who does not use it but can if it is transferred to the magicless)

2) Or magic is a force that must be produced and that certain people can use:

-humans capable of producing magic (who naturally possess a predisposition allowing its creation and use)

-human who does not produce magic (who can have it but cannot use it due to lack of predisposition)

•for me in both cases that MC will have indigestion ♡

So I’ve been suspicious of these lines the second I read them, but I played more of the Glorious Masquerade event today and…

Rollo knew everyone’s names, backgrounds, and birthplaces from documents CROWLEY sent him.

He even knew that Idia was a part of the Shroud family-something that no one knew (besides the teachers) until Book 6! And like Idia said- surely that leak of student information can be sued against.

Isn’t it strange how insistent Crowley was on how Fleur City was “a very nice place” (implying he’s been there himself) and that they didn’t have to worry about safety? Claiming Rollo was sooo trustworthy and responsible, even though he clearly isn’t?

The EN translation of the Glorious Masquerade has just started so we haven’t gotten there yet, but…the red flowers Rollo grew could essentially kill a Fae like Malleus, since Fae are basically creatures of magic. Malleus claims that once the crimson flowers drain a mage of every last drop of magic, their magic is gone forever (credit to Ekala on YouTube for these translations! 💞)

And isn’t it interesting that Crowley went to personally invite Malleus to the masquerade? Something that Rollo himself personally requested?

Crowley is babygirl to me, but…I have an unsettling feeling when combining all these facts together. The reassurances that Fleur City was safe…that Rollo was trustworthy…the leak of information and the clear communication between Rollo and Crowley…the red flowers that can kill a Fae…

Did Crowley send the students- or specifically Malleus, Grim, and Yuu- to Noble Bell College to…”eliminate” them? Perhaps not kill them, but at least drain Malleus of his magic? Malleus and Grim seem to be the biggest threats in Twisted Wonderland so far due to their magic.

The idea of Crowley wanting to do this seems strange, since he’s extremely adverse to the idea of students getting harmed or killed- seen in the game where he literally screams at the mere idea of someone getting hurt. But I can’t get the idea out of my head that he and Rollo may be on the same side, and that the red flowers was a plan that fit both of their self interests.

AND I JUST REMEMBERED- Malleus specifically says that the Crimson Flowers went EXTINCT hundreds of years ago, and only the oldest magic books contain traces of information about the flowers

Hundreds of years ago, huh? How would a regular schoolboy like Rollo get his hands on such a flower that’s beyond rare…

Unless there was someone who lived in the era of the crimson flowers? Someone whose stashed them for centuries until could give them flowers to Rollo himself? Someone who was in close communication with Rollo? A Fae…someone like Crowley?

Edit: yeah it would be disturbing as hell if the Crowley-is-Levan theories are true but it makes the family drama even spicier y’know 😍 How long exactly would he have been planning for Malleus’s death -v-

A Pocket Full of Posies and WTF is up with Rollo's Hankie

Before we begin, a slight disclaimer: yes, Medieval beliefs about disease and how it spread were weird. They did not have the ability to know about germs because those are literally microscopic and germ theory would not be "discovered" until the 1860s. THIS DID NOT MEAN THEY WERE STUPID AND IF I SEE YOU SAYING THAT WE WILL FIGHT. Anyway-

If you have been kicking around on the internet for a bit, chances are you might have heard the "dark history" fact that that the "Ring Around the Rosey" nursery rhyme is about the Black Plague. That's probably not true but the reason it was originally theorized to be the case has to do with Miasma theory, and the use of strong scents (typically herbs and flowers) to ward off the "bad air." What does this have to do with Rollo huffing that handkerchief every time someone talks about magic? Well we'll get there but first just what the hell do I mean by bad air?

Miasma Theory in Practice

The Black Death/Bubonic Plague was a roving pandemic that gets it's name from the first wave that bitch slapped Europe from 1347-1351. There were technically three forms of plague kicking around by I am not a scientist and we are here to talk about that. Given that this was, as stated in the disclaimer, pre-germ theory the ideas people had about why this was happening and how to prevent it wildly varied, but Miasma Theory was so popular it actually stuck around long enough to duke it out with Germ Theory when scientists started talking about that.

The basic idea is that diseases like the Black Death were spread from bad smelling air. This theory was proposed by Hippocrates, as in that guy from third or fourth century Greece we aren't even sure existed, but it was a pretty universal belief, we have sources from Ancient China that also reference the idea that bad smells can make you sick. This "bad air" was thought to come from decay; in the case of the plague, dead bodies were believed to have released it (hence all the "bring out your dead" stuff), as were cracks in the earth, and sewage. ALL AIR WAS THOUGHT TO HAVE A LEVEL OF MIASMA, but smell was the best way to tell if you were in danger of getting sick; basically if it smells like shit out then you are in danger because there is only so much of it you can breathe in before you get sick. So when you end 1351 with 40% (that we can confirm!) of the population dead, how exactly do you keep yourself from huffing in all that invisible miasma?

Roi du Mouchoir

Well you make the air you breathe smell nicer of course! And this is where we get to Rollo's hankie.

The "posies" in that nursery rhyme doesn't actually refer to one specific flower. It's a type of small bouquet, which apparently are also called nosegays or tussie-mussies? It's also the technical term for those tiny groups of flowers that make up a corsage. The idea was that people would carry around things that smelled good, like flowers and herbs, and any time you smelled something bad you would bring the flower out of your pocket and hold it up to your nose just like Rollo does with his handkerchief. Literally, people usually kept those nice smelling flowers in "Plague Bags," which could refer to nicely sewn sachets or just neatly wrapped up in cloth. Eventually these got super fancy, and evolved into these really elaborate pouches people put potpourri in, but given how strict Rollo seems to be with himself (and everyone else) I've chosen in my own fan fic to interpret his posies as being the common kind, which would be rosemary and lavender. Today they are thought of as being soothing scents that calm you down, and that does seem to be what he is trying to do with all those deep breaths.

I got a lot of this specific information from this article here which is on a wonderful website curated by a professional perfumer I highly recommend poking around if you are interested in learning more.

Cool Story But?

"Sure Yuri, all of that is neat but isn't Rollo's handkerchief a reference to Esmeralda's scarf?" Yeah probably. I don't really think it has to be that deep, but I do think this stuff is cool and well-

Malleus's name is likely a reference to the Malleus Malificarum, a book I have a PDF of on my computer because of course I do that was published around the same time that this theory of disease would have been kicking around. It's about- well the author says it's about "witchcraft" but that's another paper for another time, and why they are super evil and bad and should all die. Specifically why they should all be burned at the stake, it's a fun read. And sounding oddly familiar to certain events...

That's all to say, sure it probably isn't that deep but with all the other really well researched and designed character choices, I would not be surprised if it was.

Semi Unrelated Fun Facts:

Bridal Bouquets are thought to have started, in part, as a way to ward off Miasma and keep the bride healthy on her wedding day.

Miasma theory was still super popular in the Victorian Era and lead to a lot of public clean up projects as people thought that they could get rid of disease if they got rid of all the sewage everywhere. And hey they were right, just not for the reason they thought they were.

Yes a lot of people thought the Black Plague was a punishment from God and a sign of the end times. I will remind you that 40-60% of Europe's population DIED IN FOUR YEARS. I'd assume something supernatural was out to get me too tf? Seriously these people were not stupid, they just lived in interesting times.

If you are wondering "hey I heard Plague Doctors stuffed herbs in the long beaks on their masks, is this why?" Yeah it is! Gold star!

I love you for making this far, thank you for listening to me friend and I hope to get back to entertaining you soon (っ˘з(˘⌣˘ ) ♡

UUUUUUUHHH TURNS OUT ONE OF MY THEORIES FOR ROLLO'S PAST WAS RIGHT AND IM ECSTATIC

I made a thread about it on my twitter but might as well copy paste it here so

::SPOILERS FOR CRIMSON MASQUERADE EVENT BELOW::

''With this... no one will have to suffer anymore.'' ''No one... will be like him anymore... ''This is my mission.''

I guess this confirms that they are going along with the original novel and Rollo has a brother who was ''corrupted'' (overblot?) by magic, just how Frollo's younger brother own impulsive nature led him to his death.

I found here an interesting character analysis on Frollo's younger brother;

Although Frollo provides the best possible education for Jehan, Jehan squanders his time at university and spends all his money drinking and visiting prostitutes. Jehan is notorious for his involvement in many brawls on campus and does not respect Frollo, despite the many sacrifices Frollo has made for him. Instead, Jehan believes his older brother is mad and foolish and only visits him when he wants money. (…) Jehan’s extreme personality and impulsive nature are eventually his downfall when he joins the riot against Notre Dame and throws himself into the fighting. He is killed by Quasimodo, who defends the cathedral during this riot.

If the theory is true, we can assume that Rollo has (or had) an impulsive younger brother who could either be an avid magic user or a magicless person that simply got involved in some sort of traumatic ordeal because of magic (althought his brother being a magic user is a more plausible theory). His brother's own carelessness with magic is what possibly caused him to overblot, thus resulting in Rollo's hatred for magic.

Rollo's reason to wipe away all magic in twst is so that no one will be ''corrupted'' by it and end up like this brother. He truly believes he's in the right since by this means he's protecting them.

(And now it suddenly makes sense as for why Idia was chosen as a SSR; He can sympathize with the pain of losing a little brother.)

OKAY HEAR ME OUT

These flowers from glorious masquerade, right?

Tell me why they look EXACTLY like the toom bloom flowers from the second live action maleficent movie.

This took me a whole having to replay the glorious masquerade event to remember this theory

I might be onto smth 👀 (if someone hasn’t done this already)

So I seem to have more evidence for @leabbmao Rollo has self hatred theory. So I was watching the translations on YouTube. And these interesting parts came up.

Rook says this and Rollo does this in response and says these words under his breath.

Someone else mentions something about the festival and this was also his response:

Finally, Yuu thanks him for the clothes

And this was his response:

This last screenshot adds to my Yuu is the role of Esmeralda theory. Notice how when Rollo is talking about the festival his facial features are in a more negative way. Meanwhile when we thank him, his facial features are seemingly neutral(though we can’t tell if he’s smiling or something like that under the handkerchief). His verbal response is also less aggressive when it comes to us thanking him for the clothes or complimenting the clothes in comparison as to when Rook did it.

We were right!!

I just realized why kalim wasn’t in the glorious masquerade event.

Just like how we know Lilia would have realized something was up and possibly killed Rollo for trying to hurt his family.

If Kalim was in the event, dealing with the flowers would have been too easy.

The idea was to magically implode them by having them absorb magic until they couldn’t anymore.

Kalim’s unique magic would have done that easily without causing him too much trouble.

Kalim, I believe mentions, how his UM doesn’t take too much magic from him and not only that but it literally downpours waters enough to flood the area.

So not only would his unique magic put out the fires ironically, it wouldn’t have really caused him that much magical strain 😂

Can you imagine Rollo’s face then? All his hard work undone by Kalim’s magic. I mean everyone would be wet but it’s an easy enough fix.

Just imagining a wet cat Rollo makes me laugh.😾🤣

(It’s quite interesting when you think about how certain characters were chosen and those who weren’t. You can tell a lot of thought went into how the scenario would play out when certain characters attend or not.)

This line is making me sad akjdkakdks its making me imagine that once Malleus sees that his overblot causes pain rather than making the people of his life happy... he'll realize that "he is no good as a king at all since he harmed his people"😭😭

"Seeing you all worry helped me calm down..." ARGHH IT MAKES ME THINK OF THE SCENE WHERE HE SAW HOW ANGUISHED SILVER WAS ABOUT LILIA'S DEPARTURE... Like... I CANT??😭😭 HE'S SO CARING ABOUT THE HAPPINESS OF OTHERS BECAUSE THATS AN EMOTION HE RARELY FELT SO HE VIEWS IT AS THE MOST PRECIOUS FEELING ??

but sadness and partings and goodbyes..."harms happiness", thats why he just created a world where it never exists... He's not just doing it for his own desires KSJAKDJWKD plus if "all dreams come true" none of the previous overblots wouldve occured and they'll live a peaceful life... but living that way would stagnate their growth... they'll be living the same life repeatedly without any improvements towards themselves

that's why even if Malleus' overblot stems from a good intention, his vision is not applicable to a human life as we all require growing up, overcoming hardships, admitting our mistakes and developing out from that... Those painful feelings are what makes a human life more meaningful and allows a person to give themselves a genuine good life. 🥲🥲🥲

But Malleus who's still in the state of "learning to be human", he cannot naturally perceive that kind of moral.

I just hope that after Book 7 there's no narrative implication that Malleus' coping was flat out purely wrong lol Bcs as Yuu said, everyone wishes they won't lose anyone important to them either...

Going back to the fact that he feels responsible for the happiness of others... I think Malleus lives his life very literally...

I think it was Lilia who said this...(?) That Malleus' power (or the Draconia's power in general) gives happiness to the people of Briar Valley (as their power can protect the dark faes) 🥲✨

Maybe this is the reason why he's "so desperate" in keeping the happiness of others and also giving them blessings that'll surely make them happy...

Okay separate theory... Maybe I'm just overthinking lol But the occurence of "falling" in TWST is so fascinating to me since thats a heavy reference to "Alice Falling In Wonderland" yk

Book 6 we already had Idia falling to the Underworld because he wants to follow Ortho, There's this implication that Overblots "falling to a deep sleep/darkness" thats why all overblotees "wakes up after their own overblot... I wonder if Overblot Malleus will take a fall as well??? His overblot title is "The King of Abyss" but I doubt that the "timeless Sage Island" is the abyss yk? What if we actually learn about the origin of Overblots through Malleus Overblot?

Because in the trailer we can see him snapping out in awareness(waking up) before he's trapped in thorns in what seems to be an Abyss--- So maybe, we won't defeat Malleus Overblot bcs he'll wake up from it (presumeably once he realizes that his overblot caused Lilia and the others pain???) but him breaking his overblot wont be possible bcs the "darkness" will engulf him of smth

I'm thinking of this because the existence of Overblot is so weird. General Lilia should've recognized the blot when it was taking Silver because of his despair since before Leona's overblot, he knew the vibes of whats occuring yk and same thing with Malleus with how he knew that he's planning to overblot, plus he knows the existence of STYX whos focused on overblot too

But strangely, the mages of the past (Meleanor and Knight of Dawn even Lilia and Baul) dont seem to possess any magic limitations concerning blot accumulation, additionally they dont even have magestones (that they use to gauge their blot consumption like NRC pens). Which makes me think that "blot or overblot" was not a "trait" that existed naturally in mages???

Since TWST world's history is implied to be changed... I wonder if blot existence was something that "a being" made up/cursed upon all mages lol

Idk where Im going with this tbhhhh ajsjaj but I just think its suspicious that only human magicians is heavily concerned with blot accumulation... whereas Malleus and Lilia never worries about using magic too much...

So wild guess, maybe Maleficia (since shes the only powerful person here lol) cursed "magic in general" so humans will never be on par with fae's magical abilities no matter how hard they develop it

Ig its to never repeat the "occurence of another Knight of Dawn" who's magic is even stronger than faes since he has no limitation so she created blot to curse humans to limit their magic else they'll fall into "darkness" idk

🚨 warning : chapter 6, glorious masquerade spoilers (jp)

I JUST HAD A THOUGHT-

what if the reason rollo thinks magic is poison and wished to eradicate it is because someone he was close to, had overblotted or was killed by a phantom?

in the main story, overblotting is the common theme in all chapters. perhaps he had lost someone close to him by;

overblotting → the person was consumed by his own magic

or through a phantom → a phantom is the product of an overblotted magician. (just like how ortho died)

this could be a possible theory as to why he thinks magic should be eradicated because no magic = no blotting = no phantoms = no death.

I never noticed this line from Masquerade Sebek before, but it surprised me how he mentions that his cape resembles bird feathers. His cape is only on his right, and Silver’s cape mirrors his by being on his left.

In Sebek’s groovy, we get a better shot of the cape from the back, and it certainly does resemble a bird’s feathers. It’s specifically mentioned that Sebek and Silver’s outfits were made to compliment Malleus as “his knights.” The paralleled dragon wings definitely got a lot of attention, but I never realized this part about both of their capes!

I am a firm believer that the Halloween events in particular are special cases of foreshadowing the late game. There’s a reason why it’s such a huge event every year, with even unique, animated trailers (a treatment only the opening and dorm trailers have gotten). So I wonder if this was a reference to not only the live action Maleficent, but to Levan (Malleus’ father). In the live action, Maleficent turns Diaval from a crow into a human, telling him she “needs him to be her wings.” Levan was similarly compared to this, by being Meleanor’s “eyes, limbs, and husband.” (Translation credits to GasMask on YouTube🐦‍⬛)

Edit: Also a potential parallel to Meleanor specifically, with Silver and Sebek forming the “left and right generals” to Malleus, who heavily resembles her

Silver and Sebek’s wings put together make a fully winged cape, not only the dragon wings on their shoulders, but the feathered wings as well. This seems like yet another homage to both Meleanor and Levan, with the combination of dragon and bird (it has not yet been confirmed what type of Fae Levan is, but his overall character seems to be inspired by Diablo and Diaval, Maleficent’s ravens). I believe the closest other example of a winged cape would be Crowley.

And as I was watching more of Glorious Masquerade today, these lines stuck out to me. In-universe, these masquerade outfits were patterned from designs from over 500 YEARS ago. The people of the City of Flowers would emulate nobles, royalty, merchants, and knights for festival periods. Now, I’m sure Noble Bell College were able to design such fitting designs for the NRC boys because it’s revealed that Crowley gave Rollo A LOT of documents relating to the students. So I’m sure the patterns were adjusted and decorated to fit each individual student with the information they got regarding their background and dorm.

But over 500 years ago is an interesting number, don’t you think? Sebek remarks that he’s amazed that an attire outside of Briar Valley could elevate Malleus’s elegance and beauty. But…what if that’s not the case? What if Malleus’ outfit was patterned after a Briar Valley outfit from over 500 years ago? Or rather, specifically inspired by Levan’s outfit?

Levan was in charge of foreign affairs and was a diplomat. He was an reputable and excellent envoy (a messenger or representative for diplomatic missions). Shockingly in Book 7, when General Lilia was traveling the world to try and find ways to hatch Eggleus, he went to the City of Flowers. I’m sure the story of Meleanor and the Human-Fae war was twisted by the Silver Owls, so the City of Flowers turned on the Fae during that time period. So what if there was a time before the war that Levan visited the City of Flowers? (Translation credits to OtomeAyui🐦‍⬛)

I am running woefully low on mobile photo post limits lmao, but if you look at the masquerade outfit designs, Malleus’ is the most distinct. His overall outfit definitely has the City of Flowers flair, but look at the others- where there are themes of shoulder pads, and ruffles and thicker cloth at the sleeves. Yet Malleus�� is the only one with transparent sleeves that expose his arms, and a square neckline. Why is only one outfit patterned so far from the traditional norm? (Playful Land Lilia was also said to have this distinctive and old style of neckline compared to the rest of his classmates, so it’s been theorized that this is/was potentially a fashion trend in Briar Valley).

In the above photo, I’m also surprised at how Malleus’ mask curves a little to resemble a beak. With Malleus’ shoulder feathers that have infamously been noted amongst the fandom to resemble Crowley’s, Malleus seems to have a raven theme with the mask and black feathers.

And bringing back what Rollo said about 500 years, in Book 7 we visit Lilia’s dream that first begins 400 years ago. 500 years ago is when Lilia received an admissions letter from NRC. I can’t say for sure when the Human-Fae war started, but Levan went missing around 100 years after. The point is- he was around during that 500 year time period that Rollo mentioned

So…all in all, I suppose this isn’t some lore-shattering theory/headcanon haha, but I wonder if Levan, in one of his previous diplomatic missions, visited the City of Flowers pre Human-Fae war. The way I envision it, Levan established a relationship with the City. After all, Lilia and Meleanor describe him as a kind man who sought to reunite all kinds of human and Fae together. So while he was there, some locals took note of his attire- perhaps even sketching him as well. Remember what Rollo said of the city taking inspiration for festival clothes from royalty and nobles, which Levan fits perfectly under that description. This was before the war, so the locals were kind and not afraid of him, unlike how they were with Lilia post-war

And through some twisted hand of fate, Malleus was best suited for the pattern inspired by his own father from 500 years ago. Perhaps Silver and Sebek’s cape resembling bird feathers were patterned after Levan’s wings as well? Because even though NBC definitely made unique outfits for the NRC students, why does Diasomnia of all dorms have this feather and raven theme? 👀

…

I like the implications that Crowley has been to the City of Flowers before haha. It’s a very nice and safe place, he says 🌸🐦‍⬛

yuu in glorious masquerade event

since malleus decided to come home early, it made me feel like i wanting to share my thought about this event (it really got nothing to do with that fact actually). in the current masquerade event, a lot of people have been speculating that malleus will sort of get the role of esmeralda due to how it seems like rollo (ロロ)–which is the twst version of frollo–has a questionable obsession towards him. i don’t know how much of that will be correct or how much the story follows the plot of the hunchback of notre dame (1996), but i think the possibility is really likely.

but then, what about yuu? i don’t think that we will simply get the role of a silent audience knowing that the principal had pushed us into going to the symposium. and i’m pretty sure everyone realized that in the main story, that’s closely following the plot of their each respective movie, yuu has always sided with the ones that have the role of the heroes, if not being the hero themselves (alice in chapter 1, simba in chapter 2, ariel in chapter 3, aladdin in chapter 4, a little exception in chapter 5, and hercules in chapter 6). so how about this event?

i’m currently relying on translation while following the story of this event, but it seems like rollo almost has a soft spot for yuu based on how he interacts with them? from what i see, it looks like he pities yuu for being the only magicless student in a school full of magicians. saying that it must have been tiring for yuu for dealing with that fact every single day. and you know who that interactions remind me of? quasimodo.

we know that in the movie, quasimodo was seen as an abnormality, someone that’s not in the same standing as everyone else due to his unique condition. but despite how much frollo despised him, deep down there was still an ounce of pity that he actually felt for him because of his condition (maybe it didn’t exactly being shown in the movie though). and despite how awful he treated quasimodo, quasimodo believed him to be the only person that truly cared about his well-being, even though those act of “kindness” was actually just a ruse to hide him. but it’s also true that despite everything, frollo still raised and taught him enough.

now back on to rollo and yuu. first, he knew well enough that yuu is magicless. he kinda put special care for them since they’re different from the rest of the students, almost like how frollo put special care for quasimodo. but of course with more manner since yuu came from another school. then when the nrc students split into groups for field works, he specifically asked what yuu would be doing. he seemed to care enough for them to be worried on whatever they’d do. well, of course we can assume that he’s genuinely concerned about yuu for being magicless and all, but it doesn’t erase the possibility that what he’s actually worried about was that words could get out that there’s a magicless student that attended a symposium in the renowned nbc. maybe not to that extreme, but just something along the way. we still can’t trust this man after all.

oh and don’t forget about the fact how yuu had a special relation with malleus. so if he got the role of esmeralda in this event, then of course there’s a possibility that yuu would have the role of quasimodo as well. and maybe then they’ll have more screen time together interacting with each other? let’s hope so.
