huh...

Recently I was researching Malleus in preparation to write some things for my "10 years later" blog event. And you know what I noticed?

MALLEUS SEEMS TO HAVE LIKE NO CLEARLY STATED POLICY POSITIONS WHATSOEVER 💀 Across 4+ years of content (voice lines, vignettes, events, main story, etc.), Malleus does not really indicate how he plans to rule once he ascends to the throne. I keep thinking I missed something and go back to comb over everything, but I swear to you that it was pretty threadbare. The closest examples I could find were him being familiar with the concept of noblesse oblige (those of higher status have a duty to aid the weak), thinking it prudent to maintain friendly relationships with representatives of foreign lands, and going along with various traditions and ceremonies. I guess you can also throw in Malleus saying he was told by his grandma that the Draconias are meant to use their powers to protect the smiles of their people? But there's nothing concrete, like how exactly Malleus would achieve his goals once in power or what his specific goals are. (This is not counting fan speculation, such as him potentially eliminating the current senate due to how they treated Lilia so callously.)

Malleus will often talk about how the things he's experiencing are different than what he knows of back home. Malleus will talk about how others wait on him (his birthday is a national holiday, he has private chefs and tutors, etc.). But he doesn't talk about how he would rule. That's like... so wild to me considering that he's the crown prince of Briar Valley. I would have expected at least one or two dedicated voice lines about such a BIG for Malleus, especially with how often he speaks about himself being a royal and being groomed for the position of future ruler of his nation. Malleus sometimes shares about his grandmother, who is the current ruler, but again never specifies what her ruling style is like or what her policies are like. It's also strange to me that Sebek, Silver, and Lilia also never speak about Malleus's positions on anything. The best we get is Lilia trying to encourage Malleus to get out of his comfort zone more and to make the most of his time to learn about his non-fae peers. That doesn't speak to any of his current thoughts though, only what Lilia hopes will enhance Malleus's understanding now and perhaps inform his decisions in the future. We're mostly left to assume how Briar Valley's political landscape works--but even then, there's not much to make of it, besides being aware of the senate, a reliance on magic, and the general adversity to humans and technology.

Compare this to Leona, the other prince of the cast (not counting Silver, since he learns of his prince heritage very late into the main story and may not even feasibly have a country or people to his name anymore). Leona is the second prince of Sunset Savanna, meaning he's not even expected to become king someday--yet we consistently hear what his thoughts on policies and political planning are. He comments that he worries for his country's future due to how lax, kind-hearted, and extravagant his older brother and acting king Falena is. On top of that, Leona's own views on what would most benefit his country are explicitly laid out. He doesn't care much for stuffy traditions or living in harmony with nature (a value many of his countrymen have); he prioritizes progress and thinks proactively about it. Even on his own birthday, Leona talks about how the gift he received from Falena could be better served as a gift to a neighboring country to bolster the relationship between their nations. The mining and energy internship he chooses in book 7 is also geared towards making sustainable advancements back home (presumably to make use of his country’s natural resources while minimizing damage to the land). We get a very clear sense of how Leona would go about improving his country, even if not from the position of king and even if his ideas wouldn’t be received well by his people or by the land. (If this topic interests you, then please check out this post, where I discuss Leona vs Falena's priorities and ruling styles.)

So what's up with Malleus, an actual king-to-be, not talking about politics at all????? Is it maybe just something Malleus is not thinking about (it's possible that he could become king much later in life, since he’s not considered an “adult” until 1000 years old)? Is he maybe focusing on his current school experience? Or is it that he just... keeps the plans to himself since they aren't immediately relevant? Or is it that he feels he doesn't need to implement many changes once he does become king (since he seems to already be accustomed to his grandmother's way of ruling), so there's no need for him to consider it now? (Briar Valley itself and Malleus are particularly old-fashioned and appear to have issues adapting or changing with the times.) Is it that Malleus secretly dreads his ascension because it means he can no longer go back to his carefree school days? Maybe it's just the Twst devs intentionally keeping Briar Valley vague for meta reasons/to maintain Diasomnia's mystique??? It could be any combination of reasons.

I guess I'm a little frustrated myself at this realization because a personal gripe I have with Malleus is how he's treated and talked about like he's a great leader (especially by Diasomnia; *stares at Sebek shouting and Lilia's book 2 speech*), but we never get real instances of him acting like that great leader he supposedly is. It feels like lip service (think about how often Diasomnia and the general cast hypes him up) without him being able to back it up. When has Malleus led anyone in a serious group effort? How does he intend to lead in the future? I feel like it's mostly him wandering off to do his own thing or to clear the challenge with his OP-ness. But if Twst is really going to sell us on Malleus being a "great leader", then he should be given more chances to be one. It's such a wasted opportunity that we don't get to know more about this. The only instance I can think of (off the top of my head) where Malleus "leads" is GloMasq, and even then I don't know if I would count it??? Because Malleus isn't really leading the group so much as he is tagging along with them because there's safety in numbers given the situation. Everyone else throws themselves out there to protect him and the other event SSRs... and the way Malleus acts kind of implies he would march up that tower and try to decimate Rollo with or without anyone's help if he could. That doesn't really read to me as him taking charge, even if he's technically going to these great lengths to protect his country, which primarily relies on magic (ie their way of life would be destroyed if Rollo's plan succeeds). Maybe I'm missing something though??? If you can think of any examples of Malleus being a leader and/or times when he mentions how he'd rule Briar Valley, let me know. it's very possible that I have overlooked an example, given the extensive amount of content out at the moment. Sharing general thoughts on this topic is also fine.

LISTEN, HI HELLO, HEAR ME OUT

IMAGINE

TWISTED WONDERLAND BUT WITH CARE BEARS

Okay quickly, if you didn’t know, the Care Bears come from a magical place in the sky known as care a lot. Okay? Okay! Basically their job is to come down from care a lot and teach the importance of caring for others and sharing their feelings. Power of friendship yada yada.

Listen this could be really wholesome or chaotic. These are just two big interests for me.

(Leona and grumpy bear playing chess<3)

I’m mostly thinking of wholesome interactions. I’m delusional I know. What bear would’ve visited the characters in their youth. Since like they visit kids who are troubled one way or another. Actually no, thinking about the OB squad being taken out by the care bear stare(which is essentially them shining their individual Batman signal at a target and killing someone with kindness and the power of friendship.) FYVGUYUBBHU IMAGINE!! No seriously overblotted Malleus getting defeated by rainbow coated teddy bears.

Think of the possibilities… if they were under Disney, imagine how that event would go…. Hehe

I also just think of how the bears would comfort each character. There’s these bears I had thought would be good for Riddle, Love a lot bear, friend bear, and birthday bear. Love a lot for obvious reasons, give that girl some proper love, birthday bear so he can have a proper birthday with sweets, and friend bear…

Anyway that’s all, I’ll probably draw something regarding this. Maybe…

Do we know when Lilia cut his hair? I know he had long hair when Malleus hatched, so it to after that, but when?

No, I don't believe we know that detail. When Malleus hatched ~178 years ago, Lilia is depicted with long hair. In 7-81, we do get flashbacks of Lilia finding and raising Silver (which would be ~17 years ago at most, though we do also see time skips to Silver when he is able to walk and talk). However, those flashback scenes don't come with live 2D character models so we don't know if Lilia had already cut his hair by the point or not.

⚠️¡¡WARNING!!⚠️

This post contains light spoilers for Twisted Wonderland Book 7! Read at your OWN RISK

💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚

Hello, fellow Twist fans! I just wanted to bring something like this into question since it's been on my mind for a minute since the latest chapter update for Book 7.

I've been seeing a lot of unrest in regards to the pacing and/or additions of the character cards and whatnot and I thought I might want to add my two cents to this.

The biggest questions are what if the addition of the other dream segments were just there for padding/card development? And what if Book 7 ends up with a rushed/unsatisfied ending where Malleus or Idia don't get any spotlight?

For the first question, I think most of the unrest mainly comes from waiting for the next releases of each part. As a long time manga fan, I know the full pain of having to wait for your favorite series to get new content (cries in One Munch Man ꈨຶ⁠ ⁠˙̫̮⁠ ⁠ꈨຶ) and I'm sure you guys know that whole song and dance too.

A LOT of the comedic stuff can be annoying when all you wanna do is get to the juicy ✨drama✨ but I'm willing to bet had the part been done all the way through like the other books, they wouldn't have stung as hard.

Upon replaying certain parts (and fights) the pacing didn't come off as painful and I'm sure, again, once the part is over, we'll all have a great memory of it.

And as for the later, I think only time will tell. I think, with the wait time of each piece being the way that it is, that I doubt Yana and the writers would willingly put subpar chapters given how they want to tie everything together, themes and such included.

Asides

This is even more of my ramblings, things that aren't necessaryly related to the main talking points above. Can't you tell I wrote this late at night? 🤪

*Speaking of the dream segments, I remember there was some mention of how stuff like Savanaclaw Rook and Kalim's school could have been vignettes and on hindsight I'm just wondering...how could these be vignettes?

I only say this bc of the fact that the dream segments are supposed to be desires/thoughts of the people in the dreams, and I doubt the Twist team would want to make an entire vignette on something that was essentially a flashback.

They probably wanted to answer the burning questions of what Rook looked like before he transferred, or like, in Kalim's case, they wanted to tie up any loose ends that were not addressed in the earlier chapters.

Let's be honest: aside from Riddle and Idia, everyone's (the Overblotters) trauma didn't really get handled with a lot of the seriousness it should have been- or at least, there was a lot swept under the rug, and I think the dream segments could be a means to really explore the inner mechanics of the characters as well as how they plan to handle that trauma from here moving forward.

*"How was Silver able to keep using his magic without overblotting or building up blot?" ...I actually have a theory about this. Remember what Lilia said while confronting Malleus?

This would explain why many others can use their magic so freely, Silver included. Bc the dream world makes it so that the bodies of the hosts aren't affected apart from being put to sleep. I mean, it would be pretty lame if you're in a dream world and you could only do so much due to your magic not being the best, right? But what do you think?

That's all I gotta say for now. Think I'm wrong? Or maybe you agree with me? I'd like to discuss it. Thank you and bye bye!

Author's Note: I was listening to "let you break my heart again" by laufey. Then I started to think about Malleus and this song together. I spent a good 2 hours crying in the middle of the night thinking of scenarios so I had to write them down. Sorry if this is half baked or not as engaging. I did my best to write everything down before it leaves my pea sized brain. As always, please enjoy! :))

When they say that the first person you love, it leaves an everlasting impact on you. They’re right. Malleus can’t help but let these foreign feelings reside in him every time he’s around Y/N. He feels at ease with their presence, wants to talk to them, see them more, jokes that never fail to paint a smile across his lips or let out a hearty laugh. Years of being alone and never approached all seem to fade away as the warmth they give him is enough to forget about the isolated times. He eventually tells Lilia about the foreign feelings, wanting to know why Y/N makes them feel like this. Lilia felt conflicted as he is excited for Malleus and his feelings for Y/N but on one hand, this can hurt him as well.

“Malleus, what you have is blossoming feelings for Y/N. You think of them, feel your heart beating, eager to see them. Is that correct?” The older fae says as he is seated across from him, in the Diasomnia lounge with the two of them alone. Malleus silently nods and looks at Lilia with eager eyes, wanting to know more of what Lilia has to say since the older fae has lived through many experiences. He can help Malleus…right? Lilia takes a deep breath and continues to talk.

“I am happy to see that you are experiencing these emotions Malleus but…” He pauses, thinking of how to let him down gently. “You have to remember. Y/N isn’t from this world. As much as it hurts to say this to you, don’t get too attached. They have a life back in their own world with friends, family, or maybe even more. Just enjoy the time and memories you have with them.” With that the fae gets up and reassuringly ruffles his hair as he can see the visibly upset expression has, clearly something that he didn’t want to hear from his right hand man. As Lilia leaves, he sits there thinking as he can only hear his heart pound in his ears. The first heartbreak he experienced already. Knowing that he can never have you and he has to live every day knowing that your last day in this world can be any day now.

Time passes by with his feelings for them. As usual he still looks at them with lingering gentle gazes, taking in the way they laugh, the crinkles in their eyes when he sees their big smile. Being captivated by them yet from another world he tries his best to keep his feelings at bay. It was difficult with the stories that were exchanged, the nightly walks, and feelings of loneliness are no more when they are around. He takes Lilia’s advice and enjoys whatever time he as for the friend they have fallen for but proceeding with his heart at caution

Yet fate plays a cruel game. On the shared nightly walks he has with Y/N, they suddenly spoke up. “Malleus, I have something to say.” Their eyes speak with seriousness yet hesitation as their eyes meet his. He feels his heart beating and composes himself, nodding. “Yes child of a man?” He later will regret this interaction as he looks at them with wide eyes when they speak. “Crowley found a way to send me back to my world so when the weekend arrives, I will be leaving.” They said fiddling with their fingers anxiously and those words hurt him as he dreaded the day that he never wanted it to happen. All Malleus can do is smile as he places a reassuring hand on their head but in reality we wants to hold them tightly, not wanting to let go. Yet he doesn’t want to because he would take them away from people who miss Y/N dearly despite him now being one of them but in this world. To his surprise, they pull Malleus into a hug and he wraps his arms around them, a bit taken aback at the gesture. As they hug in silence, he wonders if they can feel his heart beating out of his chest from the mixed emotions of their touch and the news of the sudden departure.

The last week drags painfully slow for Malleus but then the day arrives for Y/N’s departure. They talked to everyone, some of their peers they were close with were crying or making last minute jokes, constantly going back and forth. Malleus stands there in the back awkwardly with his Diasomnia peers watching this happen. When it was their turn to say farewell to them, Malleus just lets the natural flow of the group conversation happen as he smiled looking at them one last time, engraving their features in his mind for the many years he knows he won't ever see again.

When it was time, Crowley has the portal ready for Y/N to leave. With that Y/N turns around giving a last minute goodbye to everyone until their eyes locked with Malleus. Giving him one last wave goodbye, smiling through tears welling up in their eyes, entering the portal as Malleus waves them goodbye staying composed with a faint smile on his face. He didn’t want to crumble as his peers were there. His chest pains to see the one who he first loved leave, probably never coming back. Once the portal stops its whimsical glow, the green particles of magic fade, letting the small gathering fall silent.

“You’re gone. You’re really gone…” He thinks to himself as he feels his chest tightened, feeling his breathing become heavy. That’s when his heart broke twice.

Once he got back to Diasomnia, he spent the rest of his day holed up. Lilia told the worrisome Sebek to give him time alone as the green haired fae was constantly yelling for his master to respond through the door. The next thing you know, Malleus’s life returned as it was before. The feeling of loneliness embracing him instead of Y/N, having no one to be there by his side, the things he once enjoyed are a bit difficult now as he always included them to join. The nightly walks don’t happen as much and if they do, he looks at the night sky wondering about their whereabouts. Hoping that one day, they can be under the same moon again.

some day, one day i will stop falling in love with you until i do i’ll be thinking of you let you break my heart again

Ending Notes: Now I have another idea while I was listening to “see you again” by tyler, the creator and unrequited love…anyways, hope you enjoyed it and sorry if the pov is weird. Feedback is appreciated!
