!! CHAPTER 7 / DIASOMNIA ARC SPOILERS !!
Damn we are eating a lot (Part 2):
During the battle, Baul is shooked on how Silver and Sebek are good at dealing with horses to which Sebek replies that they're part fo the equestrian club so it's a natural thing for them
Yuu and Grim were about to get attacked by an Iron Man but Lilia comes in to defend them. BUT THEN LILIA PROCEEDS TO SMACK SILVER AND SEBEK BEING ALL "This is why I hate children 😒" 😭😭😭
After the battle we reach the castle (which is the castle in the Sleeping Beauty movie) AND THEN WE SEE THE KNIGHT OF DAWN
Anyways going back to the topic, we also get Henric, who is pretty much going "Meleanor if you don't get out of that castle right now we'll invade the castle together with the Knight of Dawn" AND JESUS FUCK HIS SPRITE 💀
Yucks
It turns out the Knight of Dawn doesn't want any part of this either, cuz Henric wants Meleanor's magic orb and dragon egg (aka Malleus) since they're really precious things
Idk what's up with this chapter and their thing for turning characters into orphans cuz the Knight of Dawn is also an orphan adopted by the king 🧍♀️, and Henric tells him that if he can steal the orb maybe it could save the king and Leah
We then see Meleanor, WHO IS A FUCKING BADDIE SO DAMN REAL TWST YKNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOUR WOMEN 😍😍😍
WE ALSO SEE EGG MALLEUS AWWWW
Meleanor tells them that she was planning to take a nap with the egg but useless people interrupted that, and she refers to the egg as Malleus already 🥹. Lilia is just confused and asks how is she sure that the egg is a boy, in which Meleanor replies that a mother is always sure and knows that Malleus will grow up to be beautiful like his father, Leverne
But then she sees Sebek and Silver and makes them get down on their knees (MAAM I'LL ALSO GET DOWN ON MY KNEES FOR YOU 🧎♀️🧎♀️🧎♀️), she then goes on about how humans are weak and stuff. Lilia tries to defend them but Baul tells us about Meleanor's hatred for humans and that we might as well stay quiet
But then Lilia loses his shit as well and tries to tell Meleanor about the danger that's just waiting outside but Meleanor refuses, saying that she wants to fight because she's a mother who wants to protect egg Malleus (I swear I can't this update is making me cry 😭). So she tells everyone to escape with the egg while she fights the Knight of Dawn and we get this scene of Lilia holding on to egg Malleus
Meleanor tells them to leave but Lilia refuses. So out of anger, she zaps him which causes everyone to panic cuz he has the egg and Silver tries to stop it but Meleanor gets even more mad that she zaps him too like jesus this woman and her anger issues. Silver tries to plead with them to stop fighting because people who love each other don't fight
Meleanor replies that even if she doesn't make it, Malleus is still there. But Lilia tells her that Malleus can't hatch without the true love of a parent. BUT THEN WE GET THIS REVEAL THAT LILIA PROPOSED TO MELEANOR 200 YEARS AGO AND HE ALSO LOVED LEVERNE LIKE LILIA MELEANOR LEVERNE POLY RELATIONSHIP IS FUCKING REAL. Meleanor reassures Lilia that he will find a way to love Malleus since he also loved her and Leverne 🥹
She then summons thorns that drags Lilia and the rest away from the castle, saying her final goodbye to both Lilia and Malleus (I'm crying rn guys). Lilia tries to find a way back in to save Meleanor but Baul yells at him to calm down cuz he was still holding egg Malleus, and that Meleanor trusted them to protect the egg
Meleanor makes her appearance to the Knight of Dawn and Silver Owls, which starts another battle....

TWST Boys on a Carnival Date
Dorm leaders x Reader
Summary: What is it like when the boys take you out on a date to the local carnival?
A/N: sorry lovelies for the small break! finals were a pain, but we’re here again now, so I hope you enjoy! ♡
p.s. requests are still currently closed for the time being, so if you send any it’ll be a while before we get to them, hope you understand! ♡
• if we’re being honest, you were probably the one who organized the date
• because of his childhood, chances are he’s never been to a carnival
• he would normally see these events as being childish, but the happy look on your face makes it worth it
• he does enjoy spending time with you though, even if he prefers the calmer dates such as tea parties or study sessions
• will be more lenient on his own rules, but will follow any rules to the letter that the carnival has
• you’ll have to remind him to enjoy himself
• wouldn’t care too much for any of the rides, especially the more exhilarating ones, but once again, he’ll do it for you
• if he had to choose a favorite though, it would probably something more calm and traditional, such as the ferris wheel or carousel
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
Your hand grasped firmly around Riddle’s as you led him through the carnival grounds. He wasn’t quite sure what to do, so he followed obediently. Finally, the two of you came across a carousel.
Riddle looked at you quizzically, did you think he was a child? But you simply smiled at him and waited in line. Once it was your guys’ turn to mount the wooden creatures. Riddle chose a cream colored horse, given his ties to the equestrian club, while you chose the one most suited to your preferences.
Riddle felt incredibly out of place sitting on the faux creature. Even still, he listened diligently to the rules being told about the ride. He couldn’t fathom why you wished to bring him here.
That is, until it started moving. His brain still screamed that this is childish, and if Ace ever saw him like this, he would never hear the end of it. Though, for some reason he couldn’t explain, his heart disagreed. Joy filled his veins as the air slightly tussled his crimson hair, and as the scenery around him began to move. He can’t recall if he’s ever felt this free before.
Once you guys dismount the ride, you can’t help but ask his opinion. A light shade of red dusts his cheeks as he avoids eye contact with you. His hand feels warm curled around yours, even as refuses to admit he enjoyed it.
“I suppose I can understand the endearment towards such a ride”
• you probably had to drag Leona out there one way or another
• he does enjoy spending time with you, but he much rather stay in one of your dorms just hanging out and sleeping
• but he knows that there should be other dates than just those, so he indulges you
• (it’s totally not because when he first declined you, you suggested going with other people instead)
• he’ll buy you anything you want without much thought. he’s also really good at the carnival games, so he’ll gripe about it the whole time but if you want a prize, he’ll win it for you
• the smug lion will also enjoy the compliments that follow
• once again, he doesn’t care much for the rides or anything, he only does them because you seem to enjoy them
• if he had a favorite, it would probably be the haunted house, not because they scare him, but because he likes teasing you, and he won’t admit it, but he likes the feeling of being relied on
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
You instinctively jump back and lean into Leona’s embrace when another eerily well designed ghoul jumps out at you. In your world they wouldn’t have been as terrifying, but in this world they have the power to use magic to aid in their scaring, which ups the fear factor tremendously. As you hide your face in the lion beastman’s torso, you can feel the deep chuckle reverberate through his chest. Looking up, your gaze meets his infamous teasing smirk.
“Scared, herbivore?” He grins with an eyebrow quirked. You huff, crossing your arms defiantly as you turn away from him
“Of course not! I was just startled, that’s all”
The mocking look on his face doesn’t leave as you guys continue walking. He stays a few paces behind you, thinking to himself. You’re an incredibly strong person who has put up with so much — including himself — and he knows that, so seeing you get scared from what he considers child’s play is very amusing to him. And, as much as he would deny it, he loves how he can be someone you’re comfortable relying on.
He’s used to people not thinking he’s good enough, or that he would always be second pick, so having you come to him first makes his heart soar with joy. It also inflates his already massive ego.
Your banter continues, and to further your point on not being scared, you quicken your pace to go further in front of him. However, this quickly back fires as another jumpscare happens right as you turn the corner. You quickly return to Leona’s embrace, forfeiting your pride for the moment. Leona just secures his arm around you to make you feel safe, but as he speaks you can practically see the smirk on his face.
“You’re just jumping at every excuse to be in my arms, huh?”
• he was actually the one who probably brought it up with you, even though he enjoys taking you out on more lavish dates, he does want to experience more land-dwelling customs and because it can give him ideas for business opportunities
• he’ll try to win you plushies from the rigged games, but he won’t be able to win, which simultaneously frustrates and embarrasses him
• instead he’ll spoil you by buying you other stuff you want
• a bit reluctant to eat any of the food, but will snack a bit on it if you insist
• will never participate in the dunk tank. no matter how much you beg or plead, that is one thing you’ll never catch him partaking in
• most likely to have really bad luck — like he’ll try to be all suave but then something will happen, like the ride getting stuck, and it’ll be ruined
• not a huge fan of the fast paced rides either, he prefers the more “romantic” ones
• but honestly his favorite thing is to just walk around the fair ground with you, looking at all the stalls
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
Your arm was hooked across his elbow, with his other free hand resting over yours. Even as people bustled around you guys, filling the air with their laughter, you didn’t mind the noise. You and Azul had been having a nice conversation and were now walking around in comfortable silence.
While you were watching everything around you, Azul’s eyes were focused on you. Even in the summer heat and humidity, you looked ethereal to him. Even though he could be pessimistic at times, especially about himself, you were always there to brighten his day.
He was pulled out of his trance when he felt you tug on his arm, pointing to a photo booth they had. He let you drag him over to it, despite his insecurities he would happily oblige you. Especially because it would provide a physical reminder of the day, which is always nice. He would just make sure to hide it from the Leech twins — he didn’t need their relentless teasing.
“C’mon Azul, let’s take some photos together! It would be so cute”
“Of course, anything for you, darling”
• literally a golden retriever the whole time
• he was so excited when he heard about the carnival, and immediately wanted to take you there to enjoy it
• boy is literally bouncing off the walls, wanting to try anything and everything
• Jamil would shadow you guys from a distance though, to make sure nothing bad happened
• if you guys are holding hands, be assured that he’ll be swinging your guys’ arms happily
• Kalim is literally thriving in this type of environment
• another one who will buy you anything you want without a second thought — he’ll even be more than willing to buy things that aren’t actually even for sale
• he especially loves the exhilarating rides and roller coasters, or even the tilt-a-whirls and water rides.
• his favorite is probably the bumper cars though, he just has so much fun interacting with strangers like that
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
Jumping up and down on the balls of his feet, Kalim was talking animatedly to you while you guys waited in line for the bumper cars. If the people knew who he was, they would probably let you skip the line, but that thought didn’t even cross Kalim’s mind and you would feel bad for the other patrons if you did that, so you didn’t voice that thought.
Luckily though, the line wasn’t too bad, and Kalim distracted you from the wait, regardless. This was probably the fourth time you guys were going to the bumper cars, but Kalim just kept having so much fun with it
Kalim then turned his attention to you, a bright smile adorning his face.
“Isn’t this so much fun?”
His happiness was contagious, so you couldn’t help but grin back, “yeah, it is!”
“We have festivals in the Scalding Sands, but nothing like this” he beams, explaining why he finds this so enjoyable, before he pauses and adds on,
“Well, I always have a lot fun when I do anything with you!”
• the chances of you getting Vil to actually go to a carnival are incredibly slim
• they’re just too chaotic and rambunctious for his liking
• it would take a lot of pleading for him to go with you to one — probably would if you mentioned how you liked them back in your world, because then he would feel bad denying you something that was related to the home you were taken away from
• wouldn’t care too much about what was being sold unless it was accessories or something, but even then he would be quick to point out the low quality
• so no, he probably wouldn’t buy you anything unless you really wanted it, his reasoning being that he could find you something much better elsewhere
• he won’t be keen on the rollercoasters or fast moving rides, namely cause of the damage the wind could do
• flat out refuses to do any of the water rides
• Vil prefers the more slow and scenic rides
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
Even sitting in one of the small compartments of the ride, Vil still has his legs elegantly crossed and his posture perfect. His eyes are gazing at the scenery that passes by while you guys chat idly. Even though this may not be his preferred type of date, he still enjoys it nonetheless (even if it doesn’t seem like that)
He turns his head towards you when you call out his name. You were pointing a camera at both of you, ready to take a picture. Vil smiles at this, and it’s not his usual smile he’s developed for the sole purpose of photos, it’s a true, genuine smile.
After you take a photo, you pull up your screen so that the both of you can look to see how it turned out. In the photo you can see your bright smile, the beautiful scenery in the back, and then the soft look on Vil’s face as he smiles — a far cry from his usual demeanor.
Enamored with the picture, you look up at him and tell him that he’s beautiful. His real smile broadens further, before it turns into a smirk.
“I look my most beautiful when you’re by my side”
• it would be difficult to get Idia to agree to a date like that, where there’s crowds of people all around.
• once you mention an anime where there’s carnivals in as well, then he’ll be much more open to the idea
• that, and it would make you happy, which is what he wants
• he would be incredibly nervous the whole entire time
•his gaze almost always either looking down at the ground, or looking at you, and he would not leave your side for any reason
• would definitely get a souvenir for Ortho, if he didn’t tag along with you guys
• doesn’t care for any of the rides, those are way too normie for him
•but he loves the carnival games the most — and despite them being rigged, he’s really good at them and wins basically every time
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
You stood next to Idia, watching as he effortlessly got all the rings to land perfectly in their designated spots. The vendor seemed completely surprised and impressed by this, but nonetheless handed Idia his prize. Idia then gave the plushie to you, mumbling info about how he didn’t need it.
You guys then continued to stroll down the path between all the games and vendors, and you complimented his skills at ring toss. The tips of his hair immediately flared pink as he quickly avoided eye contact with you and fiddled with his fingers instead.
“Er— um— thanks” he stammered, “there was a carnival event in one of the games I play, and that was the game the character I wanted was playing. So I made my own version to play before I tried wishing for her, you know, to like give me luck or whatever so I could get her”
“And did you??”
His whole demeanor changed as he flashed you a cocky grin, “Gwee hee hee, of course I did. I would be just your common pleb if I couldn’t do something as simple as that. EZ”
You giggled and continued walking with him, when he mumbled to himself
“You know, this event might just be my favorite now”
• chances are Malleus didn’t even really know what a carnival actually was
• they’re probably not common in Briar Valley, and even if they were, he was probably never allowed to go to one. And even if he was, it wouldn’t be the same because it was probably rented out and no-one else was there
• suffice to say, he hadn’t ever gotten to experience what a real carnival was like
•kept to your side like a lost puppy, completely enamored with everything
• would be willing to try everything
• Lilia, Sebek and Silver would probably be trailing you guys — Lilia because he wants pictures, Sebek because he refuses to let you be alone with Malleus, and Silver because he wants to make sure the other two don’t do anything stupid.
• both of you know they’re there — they aren’t sneaky — but you guys elect to ignore them
• Malleus is probably not the best at the games because he puts too much strength and is liable to breaking them
• He loves all of it, but his favorite moment would probably have been the Ferris wheel
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷
The two of you were on the Ferris wheel, sitting side by side, and his hand rested on your forearm. Dusk had already settled in, so the view was gorgeous, especially as you reached the climax of the ride. Breaking the comfortable silence, Malleus turned to you.
“Thank you, Child of Man” he started “once again, you have enlightened me on experiences I never even dreamed of”
“With someone as old as you” you jest, nudging your elbow into his side, “I wasn’t sure if there was anything you didn’t know or had not experienced”
“With you, I am constantly learning new things” Malleus smiles, his gaze soft as he leans towards you
That is, until a screech could be heard from the sightseeing cabin behind you. It was soon cut short when someone slapped their hand over the other’s mouth, telling them shush, followed by the click of a camera shutter.
You simply giggled while Malleus sighed, before the smile returned to his face
“Ignore them. Focus on me, as you are the one who is the sole occupant of my thoughts”
