the simple savagery of lilia contemplating the murder of a helpless infant abandoned and alone in a decaying castle was voiced in such an exceptionally terrifying delivery, i was in awe.

it's just fascinating to think what could have happened here. he could have killed silver and walked away, no one would ever have known. least of all malleus, and that in and of itself was fascinating to me— is killing an infant against lilia's own morals? not necessarily it seems, it's only the thought of disappointing malleus that stays his hand. the thought of if he should find out that lilia didn't practice what he was preaching to the young prince about living in harmony with the humans in their world. and we know at this point lilia is around seven hundred years old, it's been three or four centuries since he lost meleanor to the knight, and yet that potent rage and grief at her loss is still there the moment that the opportunity for revenge presents itself.

at the same time, we also know that silver only woke up because of lilia's presence, the one who would love him truly. it's just fascinating to know that even though lilia could not accept it at the time, the red strings of fate bringing them together already knew what his heart was not willing to acknowledge— this little boy would be his beloved son, bringing peace to his heart at last.

I just noticed that too!! And now I have to grind even more to get my Halloween Silver to max on all of them 🥲

I was so thrilled with the space increase for the guest rooms, my little playground (BUT HOW DO I BESTOW GIFTS TO THE DIA BOYS???)

So, apparently, we get a third spell, and I never knew this, and it feels like such a happy surprise. Did you know? @llondonfog

can you imagine being lilia vanrouge and realizing that the prospect of living without your love is so devastating a concept that your adopted son would rather give himself up to death than face a reality without your affection.

finally got around to these vignettes and WE WERE ROBBED!! WHERE'S MY SILLY BABY SILVER SPRITE LOOKING LIKE THE WORST FASHION DISASTER TO EVER EXIST!!! god. they make me so soft. the former general of briar valley indulging a fashion show from his little human son. domestication is so real and im Weak

[llondonfog]

came home at exactly 100 im shaking

[llondonfog]

Lilia: is it possible for me to even love a human . . . ?

Lilia, 2.5 seconds later: look at my BABY, isn't he ADORABLE 💕💕

literally the living embodiment of "i've had baby silver for a day and a half, but if anything happened to him, i'll kill everyone in this room and then myself"

[llondonfog]

general vanrouge would maim him in cold blood

[llondonfog]

sobs it really is me and my three silver mutuals against the world

[llondonfog]

me, collapsed on the floor and sobbing!! silver the effect you had on him!!! the way he thinks that he's doing everything he can to protect that smile!!! lilia vanrouge im going to strangle you-

[llondonfog]

like father, like son ❤️

[llondonfog]

there's absolutely no way 🐊 isn't coming home tomorrow 💚

[llondonfog]

once again, i'm waiting outside the history classroom to throw hands with the nrc professors

[llondonfog]

the results of domestication and true love

[llondonfog]

1) maybe I'm reading too much into it (likely) but the placement of silver on malleus' right, a subtle nod to lilia's position as general of the right?? like father, like son?? look the placement of their capes flanking malleus is bothering me and it should be flipped for a more symmetrical and pleasing effect so im grappling at straws here

2) oh. ohhh of course he immediately volunteers as bait. he hates the idea of anyone being injured or sacrificed for their plan but if there truly is no other choice, then let it be him. ohhh lilia what would you have done if your son had lost his magic, potentially his life, sacrificing himself in the name of his duty, to be the useful pawn you raised him as, instead of the king he was meant to be?

[llondonfog]

HES FOUR HUNDRED YEARS OLD LEAVE HIM ALONE

[llondonfog]

UGH I SWEAR THIS IS FORESHADOWING

HE'S GOING TO STEP BETWEEN OB!MAL AND LILIA AND GET HURT ONLY FOR TRUE LOVE'S KISS TO SAVE HIM AT LAST AHHHHHH
