the way to protect the female lead's older brother;
so basically just setting hcs. these are headcanons about the world of twtptflob. they are not canon. new fans or old fans, please don't take my word and accept these as canon.
all five houses have a special little something
incase war between the houses break out
we know the house of agriche have a specialty of murder and stuff
but the house of pedelian specializes in this specific branch of magic that attacks a person's body systems
yeah... they might know how to heal but they sure know how to kill
the house of vertium has its puppets
these puppets are very... intriguing
they're people whose will has been drained out of their minds, making them brainless and hopelessly blank
so they have no choice but to be a marionette on strings
the house of gastor has these swords with herculean strength
and don't you think that's lame because they've beat ass with those
and lastly, the house of fipelion (1) has their beasts
beautiful and majestic, but deadly
from wolves to dragons, they've got it covered
obviously, war between such powerful houses would be devastating
like they care
anyways, onto the structure of their society
their society is rigidly sexist
i mean, we see it through the eyes of roxana, who is favored by lant
but pay attention to any other woman, even if it's in agriche, and you'll see the misogyny
like grizelda and charlotte, both pushed down and forced to use their skills for lant
hell, even roxana is a victim of it — she can't use her butterflies unless a male member of the house, lant or dion or whoever, allows her
she doesn't care and does it in secret anyways, but she literally would be killed for defying lant if she was ever to be found out
it just goes to show you
sierra is one of the biggest examples — she's nothing more than a very pretty possession or a beautiful little pet; first for lant and then for maria
even though sierra (these are my hcs) is very intelligent and incredibly well read, she's not at all able to exercise any of her knowledge,
because lant's wives have literally next to zero power — but that's a topic for another day (agriche hcs)
but... you wanna know *the* biggest example?
sylvia. sylvia pedelian, hands down, suffers constantly at the hand of misogyny
in her og life, she was an ideal little daughter and a lovely sex object for the male leads,
and in her next life, nothing changed — everywhere she goes, she's not known as the girl who mastered pedelian's technique faster than their heir —
she's just known as her father's daughter or her brother's sister
cassis does try to defend her, but their father shuts him down, reminding him of how oh-so defenseless, innocent and naive sylvia is
sigh... back to court matters
murdering someone depends on who it was, and why you did it
for house of agriche... man they don't care, commit arson for all you want, they'll literally not give a damn
for agriche, it doesn't matter who it was or why you did it,
they'll just murder you, because why not
they don't care for the departed person, they just wanna dish out punishment, especially if the person killed was from their own house assuming you're strong enough to even harm an agriche, let alone kill them
house of pedelian lets you off or punishes you depending on the reasoning
and since they're the house of justice and all that, they're very fair with this
if you killed one of their own house, or a helpless one like a child, they will punish you
but if the person you killed was a bother, like a genuine bother who was threatening you etc etc,
they'll let you off
house of vertium doesn't care either. and unlike the agriche they're chill with it. they won't kill you either. they're just like: 'oh you killed my son? cool, what's for dinner?'
same with house of fipelion (i literally know nothing abt them), except house of fipelion might send a beast or two after you if it was a member of their house
house of gastor basically just imprisons you and lets you out after a while, depending on who and why
it's basically like historical jail
they have a conference hall where the current heads, along with their heirs, meet to discuss 'important matters' — like finances, defence, for all their collective territories and for walbusta (2), etc
literally, they do nothing but argue
especially rischel and cassis with lant and dion
the other houses are so done with them
court fashion is fickle, and if you're not caught up with it, the nobles, especially noble ladies, tear you to shreds
sylvia and roxana are constantly compared on who's more beautiful, but they're not even aware of it — roxana avoids sylvia anyways we know why
marriage...
obviously, no pedelian is allowed to marry an agriche, and vice versa cassis and roxana in the corner:
but other than that, marriage is allowed between the houses,
and some houses used to commit inter-family marriages *cough* agriche *cough*
they only stopped because it was causing deformities in their kids, and they couldn't possibly have imperfect kids!
by far the agriche aren't even the most messed up family. i wonder what house of fipelion is hiding?
(1) i have no idea what the official name of the white family is. if you know then please tell 🫶
(2) it's the place where they have their ball thing. i forgot its proper name and was way way too lazy to check it.
this is not edited, by the way <33

The aging year is hobbling to its close;
October limps through piles of crumbling leaves
To scrape a trail November hauls itself
Along, dragging December at its heels--
Already in an icy coffin sealed,
Its destination one more gaping hole
Beside the others in the Field of Past,
That Potter's Field where each and every year,
In row on row, eight thousand at a glance,
Lies crumbling in its tomb, being erased
From mem'ry through nepenthe mixed by Time--
This aging year, with all its trials and grief,
Itself will soon begin to fade and dim,
Its pain to dull; worn, blunted by the grind
Of year on year--by distance rendered mild;
The new year peeks triumphant o'er the hill,
As bright and hopeful as the rising sun.
The only thing that can keep us going is hope; hope that things will get better, that we will make it out. If we let go of hope we have nothing left but a blank, empty existence--and I for one refuse to settle for that :) To anyone who finds this, Happy and hopeful New Year!! Don't give up!!! Or I'll come find you and dunk your head in hope juice until you believe in tomorrow again!!!! :D
