#im sorry sebek i couldnt mention you

Twst book 7 spoilers

Just my personal theories and some brief bits of translation

I know everyone is freaking out because of this but let’s draw a proper line between canon and assumptions. No Lilia did NOT call Silver “Lord Silver”, that was not in the Japanese text. 

However, Lilia did say the crown shaped ring was with Silver when Lilia found him as a baby, so it is true that Silver’s birth parents at least have the wealth / social status to give the baby a ring like this. The thing is canon did not give us any hints to assume Lilia knows that, maybe Lilia only knows about as much as us, he does not know whether Silver is a “lord” or not. 

Lilia observes that the jewel on the ring is the same colour as Silver’s eyes and he says he thinks Silver’s parents entrusted this ring with an earnest prayer for their son’s eyes to be forever pure without any sorrow. Lilia says originally he wanted to give the ring back to Silver when he becomes an adult, so it’s a little early now but he says it’s a good chance to give it back. He also says “Silver, you have grown into a fine young man fit to hold onto this ring. From now on, keep living without putting shame on this aurora-coloured brilliance, alright?”

Below are my theories: 

1. I think the acorn bracelet in the tin can (which Lilia said is the most valuable gift that has ever been given to him) is from Silver as a child because it’s placed with another item related to Silver. 

2. Thanks to @llondonfog​ for discussing this with me. Lilia said he wanted to give this ring back to Silver when Silver becomes an adult, which is next year when he turns 18. Lilia also said he thought his fading magic would hold out until he graduates NRC, which is also next year when Lilia should have become a fourth year. I don’t know if these are coincidence, so we thought maybe Lilia wanted to protect and teach Silver with the last bit of his magic until Silver becomes an adult, and then Lilia gives the ring back to Silver so that Silver (now fully-grown and able to fend for himself) can go back to his birth parents. 

3. I am not calm about this UFIKSCBYRLGF so Lilia just LEAVES??? He even says to Silver “Do whatever you want with our house” like WHAT??? And Silver doesn’t talk back at all, he just says “I understand. I will think about it.” Silver tried to stop Lilia from going once but only with the reason that “Me and Sebek can visit you with little difficulty even if you move to a foreign land, but Malleus-sama...” I assume he means Malleus can’t visit as often because he can’t just leave Briar Valley, ofc there could be other things he meant but at least it was FOR Malleus and not for himself noooooooooo. And Malleus was so calm in front of them and keeps saying he respects Lilia’s choice I cannot... Malleus does love Lilia enough to respect him and puts Lilia before himself at least for this moment (we dunno what he’ll do later) 🥺🥺🥺 But I’m sus about two things here. 1) Why is Silver so calm? Ofc it’s in his personality but his father is literally leaving him, and he did wonder once if he should go with Lilia, but that was because he worries about Lilia’s lack of life skills (tidying his room and such). He wasn’t worried about himself. 2) Why is Lilia leaving in such a hurry? It’s in line with Lilia’s personality but it’s still sus. A lot of people are theorising that there may be a bigger reason for Lilia to leave in such a hurry, and while nothing in canon suggests this I also agree with this theory, it just seems too strange to me that Lilia would abruptly leave his family like this

book 7 part 4

MAJOR SPOILERS

thats the wrong lilia D:<

(from beanfest)

--

dying inside because oh my god how is this gonna be added to the wiki

what?? the rest are empty.. (they loaded in eventually but wtf)

WHAT.

HOW IM SO WEAK IM SOFHJDUFJ FUCk. FUCKING FUCK???? how am i supposed to do this when each battle leaves me with very little Hp. so then i have to heal. but then im not at full hp so then im fucked with the next battle?? HELLO??

CRYING

I WISH it wasnt stuck to just 3 extra characters besides silver and sebek

I didnt even HAVE a single sebek card until tsumderland 2 because you needed sebek as your study partner so i got his school uniform 😭

if i could choose any character then it wouldnt matter because i could go back to using the cards id already strengthened up for tartarus but like. i CANT. so im feusidfh SOBBING i think i understand how it works now but oh my god this. is. so painful i thought tartarus was bad but i had no idea

im WEAK im SORRY (lilia's fight before this where you have to beat him to continue is so HARD i couldnt. i succumbed to using a retry ticket. I WAS USING THE STRONGEST TEAM I HAD and my strongest support buddy guy person i dont remember waht its called but i was still fucked oh my god)

im sorry lilia

oh thank fuck

...yeah.... BECAUSE HP SAVES. and im so weAK

OH MY GOD IT SAVES. (spoiler alert: I DIED. so thats why it says in progress. i healed them up and it fucked me over anyway because it doesnt heal all the way)

(you can go back so i just. used my remaining cards which are weaker. but were strong enough to oneshot it after i took down a huge majority of their health..)

so then is it better to use the weaker cards. let them die but take the enemy down slowly. and then you can get your strongest cards to kill them in one shot after that?? but then you'll eventually run out. but also it doesnt seem like the maps are too big. ..yet. but still...

(i wanna do them all and get the 10 gems so i can pull for general lilia. i just need 19 more pulls sob.)

I GOT CONFUSED AND THEN I REALIZED THEY DIDNT WANT LILIA TO COOK IM DEADD

oh my god silver

oh its canon

is this why lilias cooking is so bad? because they just had to make do with whatever they had (and learned on the go. and figured that shitty food was normal for them, and the really good food was normal for the rich people??)

*flashbacks to sebek's stomach growling during lilia's farewell party*

nOO SEBEK POOR BABY

(i. really dont like his grandfather. OKAY??? he disapproves of candy, he disapproves of SEBEK JUST BEING IN THE KITCHEN? LIKE HELLO??? WHAT?? this is from i think his birthday bloom(?) vignette, the candy thing i mean, i THINK. one of the birthday ones with trey as his interviewer.. and its mentioned in his apparentice chef vignette that baur doesnt like sebek in the kitchen. he gets this look on his face. )

i KNOW that baur doesnt know sebek is related to him. but. i just. dont like him. at all. AND IM BIASED BECAUSE I LIKE SEBEK and i dont want him hurt :(((

and okay. i get. it. that. baur doesnt like humans. and its reasonable because humans were assholes and like drained the resources dry (bro we do the same irl..) so then the direbeasts without their habitat anymore ran into the villages and caused havoc.

so theres a valid reason for them (although i feel like theres a HUGE misunderstanding. because fae see the ironclads as ruffians. but the silver owls see the fae as ruffians. or robbers or something wtf??)

and i get it. youd hate the enemy too if you saw what damage they caused. like how lilia isnt the biggest fan of humans either during his time as a general.

and i get that he's probably haunted by memories and its not that easy to get over it. but sometimes i feel like it needs to be known when its no longer healthy for someone to be around another. like, they can both equally love each other. can both care for each so much that they only want the best. but sometimes being around someone can only prove to be more unproductive and unhelpful.

and i know baur did a lot for sebek. but its also like. sebek shouldnt have to be so against humans, so against part of himself just because baur is, y'know? and i feel like if baur really wants to be there for his grandson, that he should at least try to accept it or something so as to not hurt sebek more. that like 'yeah, he's human (not that theres anything wrong with that ofc), but he's also family'.

:(((((

i dont think im explaining it that well. im just very sad.

OH MY GOD GRIM YOU DIDNT 💀

comannder (typo)

haha...

oh my god i dont understand anything i dont know geography

😭 they're just explaining where everything is and im just like 'wait what???? wait where????' im so lost… also is it briar valley or briarland??? what/ I dont get it at all

OH. wait is that why malleus seems tame in comparison…. ah….

wait a second

MAJOR JP SPOILERS (this is from one lilia render i saw. scroll past this if you dont want to see)

we know malleus watches over dreams. how will he appear? we know he can take the form of himself. and id imagine he'd keep doing that but.... or will he change forms? or. like. baby malleus. would he be baby malleus? and then we have to be like 'LILIA ITS A DREAM MALLEUS OVERBLOTTED' and lilias just holding bby malleus protectively like no??? (ive seen an image of his like character render holding a baby dragon... and i assume that might be malleus... thats JP spoilers btw)

oh... wait. but we know malleus' parents are both dead right? (and only his grandma's alive)

SPOILER ENDS HERE

OOOH. briar land was when fae territory was bigger (but then humans are encroaching n stuff) briar valley is much more smaller.

maybe the drowsy spells are because his body is trying to get silver to sleep so he can dream travel? but whats the point of doing that?? nothing really.. happens. i mean he can sort of interfere but???

WHAT?? i. two teams? HUH?? oh my god… im going to play this as safe as possible and get as many buffs as i can before going into fights. and then im going to try to go as close as i can to the end goal. because nothings stopping me from going back later. ..but i also want to continue the story… but i also wanna see it all……… i mean if i die (as in all my cards die) i can just. restart. i guess.?? but still…. im so happy. i actually have healers on my team now 😭 and buffs make fights easier

ooh the tiles are actually related to where you are in the story

like theres this river. i did this battle to scare some ironclads away from the river. and then theres this blank tile near it which is also about the river. oooh. i see. ayway im out of mystium

i suddenly feel a lot more assured in my ability to fight them with buffs and other characters
