Actually, Jamil is Snow White

Now that I have your attention with my batshit theory, let me explain it along with my other predictions for the future events of chapter 5 in a 2,500+ word mess of an essay.

  The past chapters have all correlated to the plot of the original Disney movie in some way. So how does chapter 5 correlate with Snow White? For the movie's story, it starts with Snow White living with her stepmother, who is vain, self-centered, and afraid that one day Snow White will surpass her beauty. The Queen makes efforts to suppress Snow White's beauty by making her a scullery maid, but Snow White does eventually surpass her. This causes the Queen to order her Huntsman to kill Snow White, but the Huntsman can't bring himself to do it and he presents the queen with a decoy heart instead.

  What's interesting about TWST is that Neige has already surpassed Vil at the very beginning. Furthermore, rather than focus solely on his own beauty and beat down potential rivals, Vil attempts to nurture the beauty of the rest of his dorm and the VDC team. So how in the world do we correlate the events of the chapter to the original movie? Well, we know from previous chapters that the person twisted from a character might not be the one to actually take that character's role in the story. Though Farena exists, the one Leona tries to sabotage is Malleus. Though Rielle exists, the one Azul makes a special deal with is Yuu. Even though Neige has played a bigger part in the story so far compared to Farena and Rielle, he still might not actually be the Snow White of this story. So who are our possible candidates here?

  As the person meant to rival Neige's cute appeal, Epel is the first one to pop into mind. Perhaps the NRC team's performance during the VDC goes well enough that Epel suddenly gets tons of popularity. The internet latches onto him, so much so that, at least temporarily, he ends up surpassing both Vil and Neige in Mira's beauty calculation. However, this wouldn't make sense. The Queen is supposed to hate and sabotage the Snow White, and Vil has no reason to do that to Epel after spending so much effort helping him with the express goal of having him beat out Neige. So who else?

  While browsing Pixiv one night, I came across a funny comic (it was long ago enough that I don't remember how to find it again, unfortunately) where Azul actually did livestream Jamil's evil monologue in chapter 4. Rather than becoming a big scandal though, it actually becomes famous because of how good-looking Jamil is, so much so that Vil finds out about it because Jamil's name is the one Mira tells him when Vil does a beauty check. Vil proceeds to change his plans for the VDC by dumping Epel and choosing Jamil as the sole main vocal so that Jamil is his "poison apple" against Neige instead.

  With the recent update, Vil's plan for the VDC is officially finalized, so that comic is firmly in AU territory. However, what if something similar happens? The NRC team's performance goes amazing. However, it is not Vil or Epel that gain attention, but Jamil, the 3rd main vocalist. Against Vil and everyone else's expectations and plans, the internet goes wild over this mysterious pretty boy, boosting Jamil into the position of most beautiful.  Even Neige had to spend some amount of time getting gigs and whatever to attain his fame, but Jamil has done basically nothing outside the VDC and now he's suddenly the best... How would Vil feel about that?

  With the whole trend of the previous overblot causing the next, this theory of Jamil = Snow White makes sense. Though they could always make it so it's Neige and Epel doing the stuff and then at the end Jamil delivers a speech or something that gives the final push to overblot, it would be a lot more interesting (and funny) for Jamil to be thrust into the spotlight earlier on and be a main reason for Vil's overblot.

  However, all of this assumes that the beginning of Snow White correlates with the beginning of chapter 5. Let's consider that the beginning of chapter 5 actually correlates with the situation later in the movie when the Queen is plotting to get Snow White with the poison apple. In this situation, Neige would actually be the Snow White of the story. However, unless we pull some funky timeline stuff, the theory I've seen of Rook betraying Vil wouldn't happen then, since we're already past that point in the movie. So what is next? In the movie, Snow White bites the apple and falls asleep. The dwarfs return to their cottage and chase the Queen, who eventually falls to her death when a lightning bolt destroys the precipice she's cornered on. (Fun fact from Wikipedia, her scream while falling was reused for Sleeping Beauty when Maleficent gets stabbed by the Sword of Truth). Anyway, the dwarfs proceed to put Snow White in the glass coffin until a year later when the prince kisses her and takes her to his castle.

  Welp, look here, we have the dwarves in TWST, so they could definitely fulfill the try to hurt Vil part here. But what would lead them to do that? Assuming that as RSA students they are heroic, they would hurt Vil if they felt that he had hurt Neige. Vil's plan for the VDC competition seems to just be performing like normal and hoping that their hard work and effort will shine through and win them the competition, so either something has to happen that causes a last-minute change to that plan or some sort of misunderstanding (Vil getting canceled) happens. How would a misunderstanding happen? It could originate from fans angry that Neige didn't win, but Vil has plenty of his own fans to counter that and make an even-sided battle. Some new falling out between Vil and Epel could occur, resulting in either Epel himself going and hurting Vil's reputation or someone else (the media or Neige) seeing Epel distraught and believing that Vil is abusing him in some way. If it's Neige that could be interesting since it'd kinda be a situation where Epel is Snow White and Neige is his Huntsman. Neige x Epel new otp??? haha anyway, there's also the possibility that the RSA students are not heroic, and the dwarves go and make rumors about Vil themselves as an underhanded strategy to give Neige the victory.

  All this talk is making me forget about my boy Jamil though. How would he fit in here? Again, from the previous overblots, we know that Jamil will likely oppose Vil in some way. We have also established that this chapter 5's start = the Queen's poison apple plan's start, so Neige is the Snow White. The remaining roles for Jamil are the dwarves (unlikely since we have actual dwarves), the huntsman (unlikely since timeline and also Rook exists), and finally, the prince. Jamil x Neige new otp??? lmao anyway, What would this role mean for his involvement in the story? Well, the prince only shows up at the end to wake up Snow White, so that would make this a situation like I mentioned before with Jamil just showing up to do a speech or something that pushes Vil over the edge. Boring, what else could we do?

  Well, what about the original fairy tale of Snow White? In there, the dwarves don't kill the Queen. Instead, she lives until the day of Snow White and the prince's wedding, where the prince makes her dance in red-hot slippers until she dies as punishment for trying to kill Snow White. Why would Jamil give enough of a shit about Neige to go against Vil like that though? Well, y'know what fuck it let's squeeze someone else into the role of Snow White. Kalim certainly has the hair color for it. Since Kalim is just one of the backup vocals and hasn't had much going on aside from his personal character development this chapter idk what Vil could possibly do to him. Perhaps something pertaining to his family's wealth and fame? Whatever it is, some sort of threat to Kalim would be enough motivation for Jamil to do something to Vil. Interaction between Kalim and Jamil would also serve to finish up whatever development is going on between them. Seriously bro I know Jamil was probably just stalking Kalim in that one episode to make sure he's safe but that scene is really haunting me WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

  Whatever, let's keep this circus rolling with some Rook discussion! Again, we got the theory that Rook will betray Vil like the Huntsman betrayed the Queen. To discuss this idea, we gotta discuss Rook's motivations first. In episode 5-27, quoting from the translation on the wiki by Kanade Musings, Rook claims that "being a mere spectator to beautiful people and beautiful things provide [him] with such happiness" and he is "here to offer what help [he] can to help save beauty." However, he points out that "Vil does not need [Rook] to save him;" instead, what Rook wants "to protect is not Vil himself, but rather the 'beauty' he possesses." The chapter ends with Rook saying that the others would understand what he's saying if they encountered a "beauty that is blinding" and would "bring light to [their] lives."

  So, with this information, would Rook betray Vil and why would he betray Vil? Well, there's the possibility that RSA's performance wows him and he switches to protecting Neige's beauty. However, this doesn't feel right to me. Neige is very famous. His first appearance was in a commercial that Cater got even when not specifically trying to find stuff on Neige. I would seriously doubt that Rook has not already done research into Neige and observed what beauty he has. If Rook doesn't already find Neige extraordinarily beautiful, I doubt that a single dance performance could transform his opinion of him. However, what if that was compounded by some loss of Vil's beauty? However, would Rook allow that to happen? He expressly said he wishes to protect Vil's beauty. If Vil lost beauty, would Rook really abandon him, or would he work to bring Vil back to his senses and restore his beauty?

  Now, going back to the idea of Rook doing a betrayal, we already established way back at the beginning of this monstrosity (if you made it this far please take a hydration break or something alright? take care of yourself I love you) that Neige is not necessarily the Snow White of the story. So, we have the possibility of Rook turning against Vil on Epel's behalf, which... doesn't seem right. Idk it might be because I still just can't envision a scenario with Rook outright betraying Vil. Again, Rook has spent a bunch of time observing Epel and watching him grow. What could Epel possibly do that could mega boost his beauty in Rook's eyes? He's spent time observing Jamil too, though not as much as he observes some other people. Like, Rook is a hunter, extremely skilled at assessing targets and figuring out what makes them tick. For his opinion of someone to seriously change, it would require equally exceptional deception or change on the target's part. Seriously, why would he betray Vil?

  Okay, how about we consider what exactly Rook finds beautiful. As we know from the auditions (ボーテ！100点！), Rook was able to find beauty in every person's performance, no matter how clumsy or unskilled they were. So, we get the sense that at the very least, Rook considers things beautiful that most people wouldn't consider beautiful. Then, what makes Vil beautiful to him? We know Vil is beautiful by normal person standards, but Rook doesn't go by normal person standards. Does Rook feel drawn to his determination? His power? Something we don't know about yet? I don't think we know for sure, so we don't know what it would take for Vil to lose beauty in Rook's eyes.

  Well, there's a part of Rook that hasn't really come up in the main story yet: his fascination with the nonhuman students. This just brings up more questions. Since Vil is human... as far as we know... Rook's behavior towards him is motivated by something different than that which motivates his hunts, even if that something different is just a different way of being beautiful. ARGHH I DON'T KNOWWWWW we're going into his voice lines

  Alright, ceremonial robes home tap 3 (from twstarchives): "There is beauty that some are just born with, but the beauty you work hard to achieve holds immeasurable power. Isn't that right?" Okay now we're getting somewhere, he appreciates hard work! Oh yeah didn't Vil say some stuff cause he felt defeated by Neige being better even though Vil put in all this hard work? The development of that sort of attitude would probably constitute a loss of beauty. Hard work would therefore also make someone beautiful in Rook's eyes.

  So, who works hard? Yep, Jamil we're bringing you in again. Remember, a change is needed to drive the plot and prompt a change in Rook. Haven't we had a major change in Jamil's attitude already? Starting with having to funnel all his hard work into Kalim and keeping himself under Kalim, after chapter 4 Jamil is now channeling his work into himself and finally showing off his true talents. Given that Rook can't possibly stalk everyone in NRC in-depth, he likely doesn't have a complete idea of Jamil's capabilities especially given how Jamil was specifically trying to stay under the radar. This may give Jamil the possibility to surprise Rook with his full power, potentially shifting Rook's opinion enough to give him a significant appreciation of Jamil's beauty.

 With all this information, I think I can try and build a rough simulation of events. So, the VDC teams do their performances and wow the crowd. In the meantime while the judges are deciding who wins, some shit goes down: Vil gets canceled or something, Jamil gains popularity, idk something with Neige & the dwarves. Vil's mental health takes a turn for the worst and he resorts to underhandedness. He enlists Rook for some plot against Jamil or Neige. However, Kalim gets caught in the crossfire. Inspired by Jamil's beauty and efforts to help Kalim, Rook ends up going against the plan and Vil. Vil overblots, blah blah backstory, then the judges release the results of the competition, and the winding down/aftermath/party time is the 2nd day of the festival whatever when the gang can go see all the other booths and stuff.

  Even after all this I sincerely doubt my final prediction here will come to pass but y'know, all about the journey not the destination. Honestly, I thought of the title of this post when I was only partway through like "Haha isn't this theory about Jamil being Snow White so out there" but nope that's actually a foundation of my ideas now. What am I doing???   Anyway, hope you enjoyed reading this mess. Please feel free to message me or something if this rant gave you any ideas that you wanna share.

Lion’s birthday

Hatter Cat: Happy birthday to our lazy lion~~!

(P.S: My OC is quoted briefly, but you can consider Harumi as a reader.)

Leona estava cochilando em seu local favorito no jardim botânico e como sempre faltando a outra aula que era entediante para ele, pois não via sentido em assistir às aulas e tirar notas altas sobre assuntos que ele já dominara quando ele era criança.

“Leona-san~~! ” – Uma familiar voz de um certo garoto hiena o acordou.

Um resmungo saiu da garganta de Leona que acordou mal-humorado e se sentou.

“Oi, Ruggie... Quantas vezes preciso dizer para não me acordar? ” – Leona resmungou.

“Shishishi!” – Ruggie deu sua característica risada – “Antes que você reclame mais, olhe. ” – O garoto hiena disse com um sorriso.

Leona levanta uma sobrancelha e então Ruggie aponta para o chão onde havia dois embrulhos: uma era pequena caixa marrom escuro com desenhos em forma tribal em preto que remetiam as pinturas e padrões do dormitório de Savanaclaw e claramente feito à mão e o outro embrulhado em pano azul com estampa xadrez além de um desenho perfeito do pôr do sol nos campos ao redor de Savanaclaw emoldurando um retrato perfeito de Leona dentro de uma moldura rústica em madeira.

O desenho conseguiu captar perfeitamente a personalidade imponente e forte do príncipe leão. No canto do desenho estava escrito “Feliz aniversário” com uma caligrafia que ele não conhecia, mas o perfume impregnado nos objetos indicaram ao leão quem fora que deixou esses aparentes presentes.

“Vi Haru-kun saindo a pouco, acho que ele tentou te entregar diretamente, mas como você estava dormindo não te acordou. ” – Ruggie disse casualmente, Harumi realmente era gentil de se preocupar primeiro com os outros.

 “Esse herbívoro...” – Leona fingiu estar irritado, mas o leve balançar da cauda denuncia sua felicidade.

“Leona-san, se não quiser aquele embrulho azul eu não vou reclamar se me der para que eu coma~~! ”  - Ruggie provoca sabendo que dentro do embrulho citado havia comida, uma que ele já havia experimentado quando Harumi convidou-o para um lanche no dormitório desorganizado.

“Sonhe com isso. ” – Essa foi a resposta de Leona quando pegou o embrulho e tirou do alcance dele.

“Se meu palpite não estive errado o que tem nesse embrulho são nikuman, bolinhos recheados com carne e são bastante populares no mundo de Haru-kun. São bons, já comi algumas vezes. Shishishi! ” - Ruggie afirmou rindo.

Leona fingiu não dar atenção ao comentário do garoto hiena e abriu o embrulho antes de tirar a tampa do recipiente já sentindo o aroma da carne e sua cauda balança em antecipação. Ele pega um dos bolinhos brancos e sem perder mais tempo deu uma mordida, as orelhas dele tremeram no momento em que ele pode sentir o sabor da carne perfeitamente combinando com a massa.

“Até que esse herbívoro serve para algo. ” – Leona comentou sem notar a cauda balançando em satisfação.

Ruggie abafou uma risada, Leona estava sendo orgulhoso em admitir que gostou do pequeno lanche que em poucos minutos já mal restavam migalhas. A hiena não resistindo tentou provocar o leão fingindo que iria abrir a pequena caixa, como resposta Leona rosnou e Ruggie saiu rindo.

Uma vez que Leona teve certeza que estava sozinho ele pegou a caixa abrindo-a vendo o conteúdo e ele não quis admitir, mas ele se sentiu feliz pelo presente. Era um bracelete duplo feito em couro trançado, um sendo marrom escuro e mais grosso e o outro mais fino em um tom de marrom mais claro onde nesse mais fino havia uma miçanga em forma de cabeça de leão além do fecho metálico em tom de ouro envelhecido. Mas havia algo especial nesse bracelete, Leona tinha percebido o trabalho minucioso no acabamento e o cheiro de Harumi indicando que aquele bracelete era artesanal.

Imaginar que o pequeno herbívoro que ele achava irritante se dedicou para fazer algo especial e único para ele. Leona nunca vai admitir em voz alta que gostou, mas talvez ele de forma indireta agradeça ao pequeno herbívoro pelos presentes.

Leona was dozing in his favorite spot in the botanical garden and as usual skipping another class that was tedious for him, as he saw no sense in attending classes and getting high marks on subjects he had already mastered when he was a child. “Leona-san ~~! ”- A familiar voice of a certain hyena boy woke him up. A grunt came out of Leona's throat, and he woke sulkily and sat down. “Hi, Ruggie ... How many times do I have to say not to wake me up? ”- Leona grunted. "Shishishi!" - Ruggie gave his characteristic laugh - “Before you complain more, look. ”- The hyena boy said with a smile.

Leona raises an eyebrow and then Ruggie points to the floor where there were two packages: one was a small dark brown box with black tribal-shaped designs that referred to the paintings and patterns of the Savanaclaw dormitory and clearly made by hand and the other wrapped in cloth blue with checkered print plus a perfect drawing of the sunset in the fields around Savanaclaw framing a perfect portrait of Leona within a rustic wooden frame.

The drawing managed to perfectly capture the imposing and strong personality of the lion prince. In the corner of the drawing was written "Happy Birthday" with a calligraphy he did not know, but the perfume impregnated in the objects indicated to the lion who it was who left these apparent gifts.

“I saw Haru-kun leaving shortly, I think he tried to deliver you directly, but as you were sleeping he didn't wake you up. ”- Ruggie said casually, Harumi was really kind to worry about others first.

"This herbivore ..." - Leona pretended to be irritated, but the slight wagging of his tail reveals his happiness.

"Leona-san, if you don't want that blue package I won't complain if you give it to me to eat ~~! ”- Ruggie provokes knowing that inside the package mentioned there was food, one that he had already tried when Harumi invited him for a snack in the ramshackle dorm.

“Tch. ”- Clicking the tongue, that was Leona's answer when he took the package and took it out of Ruggie’s reach.

“If my guess was not wrong what is in this package are nikuman, dumplings stuffed with meat and are very popular in the world of Haru-kun. They're good, I've eaten a few times. Shishishi! ”- Ruggie said laughing.

Leona pretended not to pay attention to the hyena boy's comment and opened the package before removing the lid from the container, already smelling the aroma of the meat and its tail wagging in anticipation. He picks up one of the white dumplings and without wasting any more time took a bite, his ears twitched the moment he can taste the meat perfectly matching the dough.

“Until this herbivore is good for something. ”- Leona commented without noticing the tail wagging in satisfaction.

Ruggie stifled a laugh, Leona was being proud to admit that he liked the little snack that in a few minutes there were barely any crumbs left. The hyena, not resisting, tried to provoke the lion pretending to open the little box, in response Leona snarled and Ruggie laughed.

Once Leona was sure he was alone he took the box and opened it to see the contents and he didn't want to admit it, but he was happy for the gift. It was a double bracelet made of braided leather, one being dark brown and thicker and the other thinner in a lighter brown tone where in this finer there was a bead in the shape of a lion's head in addition to the metallic clasp in aged gold tone . But there was something special about this bracelet, Leona had noticed the painstaking work on the finish and the smell of Harumi indicating that the bracelet was handmade.

Imagine that the little herbivore he thought was irritating dedicated himself to doing something special and unique for him. Leona will never admit out loud that he liked it, but maybe he indirectly thanks the little herbivore for the gifts.

Leona dormitaba en su lugar favorito en el jardín botánico y, como siempre, se perdió otra clase que era tediosa para él, ya que no tenía sentido asistir a clases y obtener altas calificaciones en temas que ya había dominado cuando era un niño. "Leona-san ~~! ”- Una voz familiar de cierto niño hiena lo despertó. Un gruñido salió de la garganta de Leona, y él se despertó malhumorado y se sentó. "Hola, Ruggie ... ¿Cuántas veces tengo que decir que no me despiertes? "- gruñó Leona. "¡Shishishi!" - Ruggie dio su risa característica - “Antes de que te quejes más, mira. "- Dijo el niño hiena con una sonrisa. Leona levanta una ceja y luego Ruggie señala el piso donde había dos paquetes: uno era una pequeña caja de color marrón oscuro con diseños tribales negros que se referían a las pinturas y patrones del dormitorio de Savanaclaw y claramente hechos a mano y el otro envuelto en tela azul con estampado a cuadros más un dibujo perfecto de la puesta de sol en los campos alrededor de Savanaclaw enmarcando un retrato perfecto de Leona dentro de un marco de madera rústica. El dibujo logró capturar perfectamente la imponente y fuerte personalidad del príncipe león. En la esquina del dibujo estaba escrito "Feliz cumpleaños" con una caligrafía que no conocía, pero el perfume impregnado en los objetos indicaba al león quién era el que dejaba estos obsequios aparentes. “Vi a Haru-kun irse pronto, creo que trató de entregarte directamente, pero mientras dormías no te despertó. "- Ruggie dijo casualmente, Harumi fue muy amable al preocuparse por los demás primero. "Este herbívoro ..." - Leona fingió estar irritada, pero el ligero movimiento de su cola revela su felicidad. "Leona-san, si no quieres ese paquete azul, ¡no me quejaré si me lo das para comer ~~! ”- Ruggie provoca saber que dentro del paquete mencionado había comida, una que ya había probado cuando Harumi lo invitó a un refrigerio en el dormitorio desorganizado. “Sueña con eso. "- Al hacer clic en la lengua ssa fue la respuesta de Leona cuando ella tomó el paquete y lo sacó de su alcance. “Si supuse que no estaba mal, lo que hay en este paquete son nikuman, bolas de masa rellenas de carne y son muy populares en el mundo de Haru-kun. Están bien, he comido algunas veces. Shishishi! "- dijo Ruggie riendo. Leona fingió no prestar atención al comentario del niño hiena y abrió el paquete antes de quitar la tapa del recipiente, ya oliendo el aroma de la carne y su cola moviéndose con anticipación. Recoge una de las albóndigas blancas y, sin perder más tiempo, muerde las orejas en el momento en que puede saborear la carne que combina perfectamente con la masa. “Hasta que este herbívoro sirva para algo. ”- comentó Leona sin notar que la cola se movía con satisfacción. Ruggie contuvo la risa, Leona estaba orgullosa de admitir que le gustó el pequeño refrigerio que en unos minutos apenas quedaban migajas. La hiena, sin resistirse, trató de provocar al león fingiendo abrir la cajita, en respuesta Leona gruñó y Ruggie se echó a reír. Una vez que Leona estuvo segura de que estaba solo, tomó la caja y la abrió para ver el contenido y no quiso admitirlo, pero estaba feliz por el regalo. Era un brazalete doble hecho de cuero trenzado, uno era marrón oscuro y más grueso y el otro más delgado en un tono marrón más claro, donde en este más fino había una cuenta en forma de cabeza de león además del cierre metálico en tono dorado envejecido. . Pero había algo especial en este brazalete, Leona había notado el trabajo minucioso en el acabado y el olor de Harumi indicando que el brazalete estaba hecho a mano. Imagine que el pequeño herbívoro que él consideraba irritante se tomó un tiempo para hacer algo especial y único para él. Leona nunca admitirá en voz alta que le gustó, pero tal vez indirectamente agradece al pequeño herbívoro por los regalos.
