#mallu world

[snail-migraine]

Imagine the angst material of reader willingly deluding themselves into madness by creating hallucinations to escape from the tower after Malleus puts them there.

Especially if they create a new family inside of their head!

Malleus: *Was about to forgive the punishment bc he misses their baby.*

Reader: *Having a full-on engaged conversation with the wall in front of them, aka their imaginary father rather happily.*

Malleus: ༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

See this is interesting because my response to any questions is the same. Typically.

Usually it involves Malleus either begging on his knees or putting reader into re-education.

With this one however, Mallues is just at a loss. His baby lost touch with reality, now forever doomed to be haunted by visions and apparitions that aren't even real. And guess whose at fault?

Him.

The guilt tears through him and can't help but beat himself over it. He realizes just how painful the tower must've been for you. His sweet little baby, locked away in a dingy old tower away from the father. Away from any part if of the real world. Of course you lost you mind, how could he be so stupid as to do this to you.

He ends up hugging your body close to his, you barely even react when he hugs you. He sobs apology after apology out of his mouth. The response he gets to his sorrows his your incoherent babbling. His cries in you shoulder get louder, and he runs his hand through your hair. Sniffling,

"Don't worry baby, Papa's here. Papa won't leave you alone again.."

Can I request Mallues with gn crow s/o with wings?

A/N: I figured out how to turn dates on, and it's very humbling because I now have to see that this is over a year old 😬 sorry darling

When Lilia finds out, he often reminds Malleus of the legend that the thorn fairy also had a crow lover for a time.  Apparently they were very happy together until he died of old age. It's funny how history repeats itself, isn't it?

Malleus loves to help preen your wings. Early into the relationship, he asks you to teach him how to properly clean your wings. Once he's got it down, he refuses to let you do it yourself. Every evening, he clears his throat to get your attention, then makes you sit on the bed while he does the whole process. If he suspects you did any cleaning yourself, he'll get very quiet and pouty.

He loves to go flying with you. Dates among the stars are one of his favorite things, where the only one who can reach him is Lilia, and he only ever follows him to take photos of your “young love”.

Can…can you wrap your wings around him when he's sad? Give him a hug, then wrap your wings around him. Block out the world so that all he has to focus on is you, your scent, your voice, your everything. He may be one of the most powerful mages in existence, but even he deserves the opportunity to feel weak sometimes.

Dragons like shiny things. Crows like shiny things. Prepare to get lots of shiny items! Half the time, when you both are exploring ruins together, you spend the majority of it looking for shiny items and rocks to give to one another. If you ever want to hang out in his Treasury, he will be more than happy to help you build a nest in there.

Ok Everyone talking about Silver cheat the reader or the reader cheat Silver. But I want to up the ante of pain and angst:

Imagine a reader (for this scenario fem Reader) being Silver's wife. That they both live in the kingdom of thorns having a happy and comfortable life. Although the reader could not return to his world, she was at least able to build a life in TWST with his current husband

So Silver, being one of the main guards of Mallues and the son of General Lilia. In some way or another he is someone who has a certain degree of power in the kingdom due to his position and lineage. So it certainly wouldn't be unusual for someone ill-intentioned to want to get something from Silver (either by stealing or getting forbidden information from the Draconia family or even Lilia) The point is that said person had Silver in his sights as he was technically "the least powerful" (Mallues being the king, Sebek being half-fae and Lilia being a former war general). Whether for any reason they manage to discover the traitor (Silver's work)

But said person manages to escape and is now searching for the Kingdom. The ill-intentioned person, wanting to take revenge on Silver, decides to take away what he loves most. So upon hearing rumors that Silver has a wife who some claim has no magic. The traitor finds the house and murders the reader.

Silver along with other guards are patrolling and looking for the traitor. But he has the feeling that something bad is happening so he tries to call the reader and try to inform her about the situation. But no one answers...even though he has dialed almost 25 times, his wife does not answer his calls. Panic-stricken Silver runs towards his home. Only to find his house damaged and his wife dead on the floor.... Silver gives a cry of pain that echoed throughout the forest. Silver who didn't rest until the damn thing was found

When the traitor is captured by orders of the king and his right hand is executed to death. The now widower who discovered that when his wife was murdered she was newly pregnant ...Now she is buried in the back of Silver's childhood home. Now the happy little home is only inhabited by a lonely knight who never remarried or had a family. Sometimes the home is visited by three faes who take care of their lonely human. 💔

Silver, who at the end of his days never took off his wedding ring and was buried next to his deceased wife's grave. Centuries later the small abandoned house but curiously the graves are still cared for and always have small flowers around them.

STOP THIS ANGST

will the both of you still meet in the next life?

silver wished, his last days were nearing as he stood above your grave, a fresh batch of your favorite flowers in his hands.

silver vanrouge and you. such a beautiful relationship bloomed between the both of you in which silver just couldn't help but fill his journal whenever he spent his days with you.

you made him so happy. so in love like a lovesick puppy who awaited your every order.

he remembered when the shyly held your hand during the first month the both of you were dating in night raven, lilia always chuckled at the two of you and always teased him about it.

now, you're gone.

and heavens did it hurt.

it hurt. extremely; the worst part? you were pregnant with his children.

he knew you were going to surprise him with the news once he got back home, that lopsided grin on your face as you excitedly jump into his arms, he was always there to catch you.

how badly he wished he went home when that gut feeling hit him.

instead of the sight of you with that giddy smile, your radiance and basically just you in general,

he saw you, laying on the ground as the bloody pool underneath you had spread around.

writting the last page of his journal with his signature, he buried it near your grave, how badly he wanted you to read it, how badly he wanted to see that smile on your face and the blush that burned on your cheeks once you saw the years he took to finish that journal for you.

but the least he could do at the end of his life was to have himself buried near you.

years have passed and the house was already withered. despite that, the poeple who walked by could only be left confused at the sight of the flowers growing in between the two graves.

a new era set in stone, silver had heard of a book about a man who spent his life writing his journal dedicated entirely to a single woman, he heard the story was pretty heartbreaking, really.

the plot was basically the man, being in college and finding the one he loved, a woman who was magicless, years passed and he becomes one of the main guards of a fae kingdom, though a traitor was among them.

that said traitor killed the woman without the man knowing, and the plot continues. though, silver had read only a quarter of the book.. he felt like he already knew what happened, as if he was the said man in the book, ironic.

having to be dragged along with his father and brothers to a museum, he could only find himself staring at a portrait, a man whos features looked exactly like his.

'silver vanrouge.'

..huh. weird. same name, too. apparantly, this was the man in the said book he read a few days ago.

.. he could only wonder who was the woman he fell in love with.

searching around the museum without lilia knowing, he eventually found the portrait that was actually just next to the mans. whoops, he didn't notice.

there was a lot of people looking, in awe of the beauty of the painting. he was too, the woman was breathtaking, no wonder the man had fallen in love with her.

going to the front, he saw a girl who looked exactly like her.

"..-ver? silver?"

".. [name]?"

lilia and malleus could only fist bump in the background, finally reuniting the long lost lovers once more.

Silver and lilia angst

[general lifespan angst/ hurt-comfort] [Diasomnia Chapter Spoilers] [The end is kinda rushed] [Sebek and Malleus mentioned] [not edited] (lrt I was literally coming on tumblr to post this and saw this post that touches on the same thing)

Lilia is 700 and lets say he has a good 100yrs left in his life. He would still outlive silver.

To make it more angsty, lilia doesnt realize he will outlive him. he's thinking like a fae; 100 years is a short time to them. he hates the idea of his boys watching him slowly get weaker as his age catches up to him. He doesn't want his boys to see the man they admire for his strength lose said strength.

Silver already knows his family will outlive him. Not to say, he's accepted it but he knows it. He knows malleus will look the same while he is old and gray. He knows Sebek will still be standing guard for Malleus when he's retired. Silver knew these things like they were facts. But when it came to Lilia Silver wasn't sure.

Silver played with the idea of many different futures with his father.

Would his father take care of him? Would they live in their little cottage together like they do know? Sitting around the fireplace, with his father reminiscing about the past. Walking around the small path in the forest, the same route he's walked since he was little. Would they sit together on that old bench his dad made when he was little to watch the birds together?

That day at the dorm when Lilia said he was leaving, silver didn't think about it much. His father had gone on trips throughout his life and had always come back.

It wasn't until Lilia talked about losing his magic that Silver realized his father wasn't planning to come back. Though he would never say it out loud, he was angry. His father was leaving him. Leaving him before he graduated. Before he was knighted.

Malleus takes it worse. Overbloting before Silver can sit in his anger anymore. Silver fights. Fights for his family. For his father. And for his surrogate brother.

When all is said and done, Malleus is returned to normal. Lilia and Mallues have a heart-to-heart. But when they turn and look at silver, he breaks. He hides nothing.

Sebek isn't surprised by the lifespan. He's known Silver would pass before him since they began training together. But Malleus and Lilia are. They look at him wide-eyed at the realization Lilia would outlive him.

Malleus seems to go through a few stages of grief. But Lilia looks numb. His eyes are far away. Lilia's plan was to travel the world but to return when he got closer to the end. He knows what it's like to not have a body to bury. He never wanted to put Malleus and Silver through that.

But now as he looks at his beautiful son that helped him heal from his past. The son he learned how to clean a baby bottle for. His baby boy would have been dead or dying by the time he came back. He was so caught up in not wanting his sons to see him get weaker, he never stopped to think about what he would miss while gone.

He already knew he'd miss his graduation and his knighting. but he never thought about Silver's first love and first heartbreak. If Silver had a wedding or a child.

In that small moment, everything he would miss came flashing through his head.

Shaking his head and grabbing Silver's arm, Lilia pulled his son into his embrace. Neither of them say anything as they hold each other. Slowly they moved to the ground still holding each other. Lilia pulled Malleus down to join them. Sebek was pulled into the embrace soon after.

If Silver started crying no one mentioned it. If they all stayed on the floor holding each other for a few hours, no one mentioned that either.

~~~

In the end, Lilia stuck around. He still went traveling but only for a week to months at a time. A better deal than him disappearing for years at a time.

[wren-dy-flowergarden]

Can I request? You don’t have to if you don’t want:)

Where the reader is to someone he was brought from the real world, and yuu is like still there, so like yuu and the reader, both get teleported from different parts of the real world and they get teleported into twisted wonderland together. However the reader doesn’t get acknowledged as much as yuu, because yuu is more out there and the reader kinda keeps to herself but the reader has a crush on mallus and she’s make it known to him. However, he has disregarded her feelings and practically made it obvious that he prefers yuu over the reader which breaks the reader’s heart, and let’s say the only person who knows about the reader or pay attention to the reader is Rook, and Rook talks to the reader as a best friend in a way. Let’s say during mallus’s overbot she takes a hit that was meant for yuu and she gets really really hurt. As she’s in pain yuu take the chance to defeat mallus, the reader starts to feel a bit woozy and this gains the attention of yuu and mallus and everyone around, but the reader disappear like the evaporate, a bit like how in Demon slayer when you defeat the demons in a more of flowery way. The plot twist is that the reader is not dead but, they return back to the point in the real world as if time had not changed, and at this point mallus is upset and tries to move on like yuu has but realises after a while how much he actually likes the reader’s attention and has feeling for the reader not yuu. He then becomes very distraught after the realisation and find ways to bring back the reader. you can ask me for part two if you want any more ideas I guess.

You can ignore this if you already busy. ☺️😊(sorry for the mistakes🥹)

*ੈ✩‧˚₊⁀➴A/N: BRUH why is this so good. I felt like I was reading a story more than a request when I read your ideas. I’m lowkey just adding my own head cannons onto this with a little bit of pazzah, pls tag me if you ever write this as a full story, part 2 and everything! ( ๑‾̀◡‾́)σ" I will probably not write a pt2 just because I am terrible at writing parts 2. Not completely happy with this one-I don’t think this is that fluffy with all the info/thoughts in my head, but I tried to flesh it out in my own way!

*ੈ✩‧˚₊⁀➴Malleus x f!Reader (NOT YUU)

*ੈ✩‧˚₊⁀➴WC: 1.2k!

*ੈ✩‧˚₊⁀➴Tags: bittersweet love, pinning, one sided love, miscommunication of feelings, fake!death, some dragon tendencies like possessiveness, got a good amount of mistakes in here so pls forgive me *cries*

It really wasn’t fair. You peered over the railing, looking out into the night. The fairy lights and moon shine against Yuu- short, chopped hair accenting their feminine features, an innocent like beauty, outgoing and extroverted unlike yourself. She was the main character here as she stood next to Malleus, quiet, ebony hair that drapes down his shoulders. He tucks a slimmer of her hair behind her ears. 

Yuun affirmed that there was nothing between them. That she had no feelings- she didn’t even know his real name! And that was ridiculous, because how could she not see the regal air around him?

He doesn’t notice you; that because Yuu is perfect. She is the sun shining and you are the shadow that it casts. 

Your confession came out of the blue. Yuu was feeling under the weather after diving deep into the ocean to search for some painting. You never really understood the details. What you understood is that Yuu acted rather delirious and needed sleep. Green pulses outside the balcony window, your heart races. 

A light blush overtakes your cheeks as you see the firelights flicker outside the front door’s side window. You step outside, the cool porch tingling against your bare feet. He’s there, graceful and poised as ever compared to your bags and tangled hair. A squeak of the boards catch his, his eyes widen with the downturn of his lips, “Oh, Ramshackle other inhabitant,” he looks up towards the room Yuu is resting in, something stirs in your heart at his expression, “It seems as if your Prefect is fast in the realms of dreams.” You nod your head, clutching the blanket closer to you. Head tingling, this is the closest you’ve been to him. Your first conversation and yet monotone comes out, “She is sick and needs sleep. Come another night to talk to her.” He hums, a delicate finger holding his chin in thought. “Ahh…I pray that our nightly chats haven’t disturbed you.” He is about to turn around, to leave, you can see his foot already ready to pivot, “Tell her I will return when she recover- “ “I like you.” Malleus pauses and you can’t believe you were stupid enough to confess to him. You want to deny it, to explain how you fell in love with the way he walks, the charm of his voice through windowpane seals, the way you wish he looked at you like the way he looks at Yuu-  “I have read about this before, this type of confession,” he starts, and your stomach drops as he crosses his hands against his chest, “I cannot accept your feelings.” He looks up towards the balcony and it mortifies you.

So, you try to do your best, well the best you can with the insomnia caused by yourself and your big fat mouth. 

Rook eats breakfast with you each day- him curating a balanced meal towards a heart-broken soul. He could read you so well. 

“Why my petite ombre! All you need to do it become the beautiful sparrow everyone can’t help but want.” Rook says before heading off to class. He tussles the hair on your head, or fixing it? You couldn’t tell. 

So, again, you try. A little more active, a little more talkative, a little more confident. If the sun cast shadows, then you were the flower peaking over the edge.

What you didn’t expect was Malleus to Overblot. 

It’s scary. Yuu looks like the commander as she barks out orders with the rest of the NRC students fighting. Silver sending off another attack, pain etched on his face. Another attack blasts students away and you see Yuu fly among the rubble. You see another flash of light coming from the dragon’s breath-

You didn’t expect to take a hit for Yuu as well. But she is the sun, and you need the sun to live no matter how far in the shadows you are. She will save him. 

You can’t see straight after the battle is over, that half the world is dark…blurry…like it doesn’t exist, like it's disappearing. 

“(Y/N)! Oh god.” You hear Yuu from your right as she grips your hand. Everything feels so cold. You hear him shout towards Rook, oh he’s here also? “Why- why is she like this?” You want to talk, and you open your mouth to speak, but nothing comes out. Yuu is crying, she has tears in her eyes, and you wonder why. Rook speaks this time, you’ve never seen him this discomposed, “I- I’ve never seen this before.” “What do you mean!? She- she’s evaporating!” Yuu cries taking off her jacket trying to cover your arm. You don’t understand, as you twist out of Yuu’s jacket, she tries to stop you, “No, don’t move! Not until we figure this out.” But she’s too slow at explaining and with your blurry vision, you see your hand? Or half your hand as it dissipates into the air.  “(Y/N)…?” You don’t even have to see to know whose voice that is.  Malleus. 

He kneels next to you, alongside Yuu and Rook, his bare hands touching against the wisps of what your hand was. He looks frightened. Can you even read expressions right when you can only see half a face? 

You want to tell him not to worry, even though you are scared. That you're glad he is alive, that he was your first love, and you wish you could redo that night all over again. Something warm tingles against and suddenly stops. He must have done something wrong because you see pink and black hair- Lillia- tugging on his shoulder, shaking his head. 

Love is bittersweet. There are no last goodbyes as you fade away. 

You wake up on your bed. Your bed. The AC flowing, the faint hum of your earbuds against plush comforter, the city noise in the background. 

You’re back…?

A weight on your palm as you turn against your side. It was there- your phone turned on and open to the home screen of Twisted Wonderland. You click on the screen…Nothing. Again, again, again! And nothing happens. It still just reads the logo. 

Your mind is spiraling as you twist on your bed, you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror by your nightstand, and everything stops at once. Your hair is shorter- by your chin. It was so long… you haven’t cut it since the day you woke up in Twisted Wonderland…

It wasn’t a dream…. was it? . . . . “This won’t bring her back.” The caldron bellows into an array of green and yellow swirling into one. Books litter the floor as chaos organized the room. He is one of the most powerful magicians in Twisted Wonderland.  Something was strange about that last night, the way you seemed so scared, different that how steady you presented yourself. The way your eyes stared at him seconds before you phased out of the existence of this realm. He adds a pinch of hazel dust and the green turns into a dark blue like your eyes. He shakes his head- unnecessary thoughts would be of no use to him.  Not until you returned.

[starfoam-saloon]

HNNNNN

Twst au but instead it goes like this;

One of the twst boys(whoever) ends up getting transported to your world with no magic. They wake up in your house after you help them when you found them in the alleyway on your way home like ouch dude. You find out they aren’t from this world after they do some magic so you guys spend the entire summer helping each other and comforting them since they have issues with themselves and being homesick or something. Yadda yadda yall fall in love and are dating during it.

One day, miraculously on the last day of summer, yall find the mirror and that twst boy is sent back after yall promise to find each other again. Maybe like a years later(idk imagine time runs differently there) you’re getting ready for bed and you wake up in that coffin.

Something something and you end up starting your first day at NRC. Yayyyy!!!! And when you meet the twisted wonderland guy, at first glance yall immediately know each other and yall are just being cute and everyone who knows you is like “HUH???” Imagine meeting Ace and he can’t bully you cause oh no that’s his idiot. Meeting riddle and he immediately calms down. Meeting Lilia and silver is just like “huh.” Or it could be the other way around. Ruggie seeing Leona all soft and he’s just like “when???!?!!??” It’s such a funny concept to me cause imagine you and Ace are together and your friends are like “Ace how did you pull on the first day” and before Ace can stroke his ego you just say “he stuttered 15 times trying to ask me out”

OH OH imagine meeting Vil and he’s like “and who is- oh hello dear- and WHAT-???” Vil tenderly holding you as the rest of the VDC group is just shocked that Vil mr popular had a lover. Or any of Octavinelle thinking it’s a bit strange that one of them is really good at walking since they don’t believe either of them when they said they went to the human world for the entire summer. Jade or Floyd just think the other explored the ocean the entire summer idk—

Jamil angst a bit cause he thought the one he loved would never be here again and feels slightly betrayed when they ask for help from Azul of all people. But just appreciates them entirely either way cause yeah. If you’re dating either of the overblot boys I guarantee they aren’t gonna let you get in the way and might keep you at a distance while you try to help your friends. (Yum favoritism)

Or dating one of the RSA boys so imagine their shock when Chen’ya kisses you at an Unbirthday party when he steals some food. Or Neige hugging you and saying all kinds of honeyed words with heart eyes as he sees you again. Is a bit sad you’re in NRC.

AND MY FAVORITE ROLLO!!! Like imagine he’s just being all dramatic and he sees his lover and just opens his arms cause he knows they’re gonna jump in them. Rollo trying to not be jealous since Mallues seems to care a bit too much about his lover(Mal just wanna be a good friend I swear). He keeps you in the bell tower to try and not get you hurt but you end up accidentally falling with the others. Yadda yadda, you stay with Trein even if you’re the most stubborn person on the planet, and you eventually pull him to the side before Malleus can do his whole ‘imagine losing to me lmao’ thingy ig. And the two of you talk but you two eventually just love and care for the other and when you leave the others are asking if y’all broke up to which you reply “um… nuh uh.” While holding a letter from Rollo so you two can write to each other (he texted while he cans and calls you but he likes to send letters since he thinks it’s romantic and reminds him of the love letter he gave you in the summer in your world.)

They love you lots, so don’t be too surprised if they feel like they want you to stay here with them. :(

IF ANYONE MAKES A FIC OF THIS USING EITHER THEIR TWST OC/SELF INSERT/ READER PLEASE @ ME/TAG ME I WOULD LOVE TO SEE YALLS THINGS WITH THE IDEA I HAD PLSPLSPLPS☹️☹️

[twstfanblog]

How did Mako fuck up a contract so badly that Azul basically sent Yuu over as a pls don’t kill us gift

See I knew I was in trouble with this AU because I started world building XD

This is a very rare all human AU. So no magic sadly.

But Malleus loved the Roaring Drago pocket pet company as a boy. Hearing it was going under, he begged and pleaded with Lilia to buy the product IP/company just so it wouldn't die. And he held onto that IP for a decade. And now it's becoming popular again! Mallues is more so excited to have people with Dragos walking around again because the new line allows your dragos to roam and visit each other if they are close enough.

He wants his drago to have friends so fucking badly. Yes, he just had his old drago put into the new model.

Mako fucks up because Azul's company was charged with reviewing an insane number of files Malleus sent over to prep for the new model launch.

Mako didn't do his randomly accessed task and in fact DELETED THE FILES he was assigned to review. His logic was that the email didn't have Azul's company logo on it, so he thought it was spam and didn't even read what it was.

After Azul rips Mako a new asshole. He scrambles trying to find copies of the files Mako deleted, reassign the tasks to multiple people he now has to pay overtime, AND tell Malleus there was...a problem and their work may not be ready by the agreed deadline.

Malleus, that really scary "quiet enraged" just states that maybe he should just take his business somewhere else (He WANTS those new dragos!!!!)

Azul, panicking and thinking up ways to then shit on Mako for fucking up the deal just kinda...offers Yuu as a pot sweetener while also making the choice to put in more hours to ENSURE the deadline is met.

Yuu ends up pregnant from sleeping with Malleus.

[sweetbunpura]

Okay but the thing is… Malleus ISN’T controlling the dreams?

That’s been a HUGE misconception due to him offering to give Lilia a good dream when he came in at the end of his dream. But he doesn’t actually control them at first.

His power is giving them their happily ever after dream at the time he cast the spell.

We know this because why would he have given Lilia that dream? The dream full of suffering where his best friend died and he was in the middle of a war? But it was still his FAVORITE MEMORY because it was Malleus’ birth. That was NOT Malleus’ choice. That was NOT his influence. Malleus wanted to give Lilia his happiest moment, and his magic delivered, no matter how horrible that moment might have seemed to others.

Because Lilia’s happiest moment was also surrounded by some of his worst. Can’t have sunshine without storms and all that.

Now when it comes to Floyd - the problem is, he DOES have ADHD like CRAZY. So the dream WAS fun for him. It WAS what he wanted… at first. The magic worked as it was supposed to. But Floyd’s definition of what was a great dream, a great happily ever after changed. Which meant the good dream became a terrible one.

But he was stuck in it, because the magic didn’t change with him, Malleus’ magic didn’t WORK with Floyd. It gave him ONE dream. It wasn’t expecting Floyd to get BORED of his “perfect” world. Which is how we got that really sad situation.

Another thing that kinda proves that Malleus does not control the dreams unless he directly involves himself, like with Lilia’s dream, is that he has ALL of Sage island asleep and under his spell.

He doesn’t know all of the students at NRC or all the people on Sage Island. So how could he have possibly known what their ideal HEAs were if he’s never met them? He doesn’t. But his magic works with their minds to give them that, just like all the students we know.

So… from what I can tell, Malleus actually isn’t controlling the dreams at all unless he comes in and interferes directly. His magic literally gives the dreamer what they think is what they want in their perfect world. It’s obviously NOT, in the long run, as they are all finding out, but that’s not the point lol.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am still very, VERY interested in what the Savanaclaw students are gonna dream about, because honestly? The twst devs really seem to fuck Leona over. They keep giving him the short end of the stick and like to have characters be mean to him for seemingly no reason. So I’m wondering if they are going to continue this trend and make me SUPER FREAKING MAD or actually give Leona the development that they have continuously hinted at throughout the ENTIRE GAME and actually let him shine for once.

I somehow doubt it, but a girl can *snorts* dream.

Anyway, sorry for the long ask! Just wanted to add my 2¢ about the Malleus dream issue!

You're all good!

I'm just piecing stuff together from what I saw based on Floyd's POV and we don't know the full extent from Malleus' UM. While Floyd's was sad to see, my son needs enrichment, we get moments like Kalim and Jamil's fist fight that made us go:

And the cursed image that is Buff Epel.

So Malleus' magic most likely skims the dreams of the person and makes up the dream from there. But yeah, my now largest issue is Leona's dream given his relationship with Mallues.

But I will admit, it's funny to not only see these dreams, but to figure out some of what we speculated was right.

TWST Devs out here looking at the fandom and taking down notes.

...But this book and Malleus' actions have made me like him a little less. I really wanna see the aftermath tho, cause Crowley can keep the other 6 overblots hidden, but Malleus' was worldwide, you can't hide that.

The parent wars

Ok I love how this fandom ships Lilia and deduce’s mom because they are both single parents with adorable sons.Then someone else recommend Vil’s dad (I think his name was Eric)since he is also single and might be ready to mingle.

But you know who else the fandom has dubbed as a single adoptive parent of our dear m/c?! DIVUS CREWEL!!!

And now imagine all the dads end up meeting Ms Spade (maybe on parents day at school) and end up falling in love with since she is so HOT , BEAUTIfUL aNd WONDERFUl. So they are now love rivals and they each want to win the Ms Spade heart. Now because the dads are rivals their kids are now rivals since they all want their dads to be happy and let's be honest deuce would make an amazing brother so it is a win win.

But now imagine the CHAOS and DRAMA that will unfold since the kids will battling each other in order to convince deuce that their dad is the best fit for his mom. Like imagine Vil stealing deuce away to his dorm and gives him a list of benfits that he will get if they become sibling (examples: getting tutoring from vil to become an honor student, how there might be adverts about flash bikes (you know those magical motorbikes in their world) or compitions that he can get front roll seats to and most importantly his mom would be set for life).He might have got Rook to do a quick background check and integrated Epel on deuces’ like/dislikes before the meeting.

Then you got M/C who will be normal but say things like how deuce is more then a best friend and that he is a brother to them (insert a very insulted ace who m/c would have explain the situation to later) then u got both ace and m/c start bragging about how crewel is best and if he does hypercritically marry Ms Spade not only will he help with his studies but they can have so many sleep overs at crewel’s house since they will be living together.

Then you got Silver who is a bit confused but got spirit. He might honestly think that he and Deuce are brothers now from the way Lilia talks like he and Deuce’s mom are already married plus Silver would be happy if there were more humans in the family. I honestly think that Silver would be the most chill not that pushy but teach deuce things like how to sword fight and help him with his homework(if he doesn't fall asleep)

But the most funniest thing about this love square is that it would turn huge very fast because of Vil , M/C and Silvers friends will get involved. Like you got M/C with the first years supporting team Crewel. Vil and his entire dorm on team Eric and then you got Lilia being backed by the Prince of Briar Valley and his people. Not to mention the potential traitors *cough* *cough* Sebek or even Epel (btw I am not saying that they both are not loyal but Sebek’s heart belongs to Mallus and Lila first before anything else while Epel might get threatened with more makeup routines or something but properly not actual betray m/c since he is a ride or die but instead become something like a double agent.) Some of the dorms would be on the m/c side while others would stay neutral (the fish mafia might start a betting pool while Cater ends up posting the situation on Magiscram making the entire internet spilt between who would win the single mother’s heart ) Majority of the staff try stay neutral but are all on team Crewel and situations ends up becoming like a huge source of entertainment better then any reality t/v show (some producers ended up coming and asking if they can make it a show since Eric and Vil are involved but the got told to buzz off since this is a private matter)

Meanwhile, poor Deuce is lost on what to do and only wants his mom to be happy and is not sure how to deal with all this. Let's not forget that he also has to deal with his mom’s potential boyfriends trying to win his favour which is a whole other situation.

Anyway that's it folks thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

(also this is my first time contributing to a fandom. So Hi I am Kiwi and I give my greetings to the people of tumber. Please let me know if I make any mistakes and I wish you all a goodnight/day)

///WARNING: MENTION OF SCHOOL SH**TINGS IF THIS MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE PLEASE SCROLL AND IGNORE//

Part 2: Pop bag=bad (the freshman)

Characters include: Ace, Deuce, Epel, Jack, Sebek, and Grim

TW: Mention of school sh**tings, trigger sounds? (plz tell me if I missed anything else)

The freshman gangs' reaction after getting the explanation as to why they ran:

Ngl, I had trouble coming up with how he would react when we told him

I feel like he would be flabbergasted and maybe a little confused?

Like, wtf? For real? Why?

If he finds out you were in school sh**ting, oh boy

It's between him just sitting there having to process that fact that you could have died or just being angry

Or

Just being in a confused anger?

He won't really outright show it, but he's worried about you

In his own way, he'll ask if you're okay

He doesn't really understand why that happens?

In a way, he does, but it's just

Why?

Anyways, he'll understand after you explain as to why you ran after hearing a chip bag pop

And he'll try his best not to pop a bag in front of you for that reason

WHAT!?

WHY!?

again, it was a bit hard to decide kn bow he'd react when we tell him the explanation

Worry

Lots. Of. Worry

Are you okay?

Did you get hurt?

He's worrying and he's showing it so much

BUT WHY!?

He's gonna ask questions

Simple ones

Not to complicated questions

He doesn't want to make you uncomfortable

He just really wants to know why people do that in your world

"It's a common thing!?"

He secretly wishes you don't go back home because of this

This guy is never going to pop a chip bag open ever again

Another hard one to figure out

Here are some of his responses when you're done explaining

"HUH!?!?"

"WHAT!?"

"ARE YA SERIOUS!?"

Ya'll

This ain't no joke

If he finds out you were in school sh**ting

This man

Is gonna look up to you just like he does to jack

Maybe even more

He's gonna think you're a strong person

Okay, but it's gonna be adoration for a while

Until

It hits him that you could have died

Kinda makes him stop and think that if you did, he might not have ever met you

He still admires you

But

Now he's gonna ask if you're okay in his own way

He secretly wishes you don't have to go back to your world once he hears it's a pretty common thing

Another one who's gonna try his BEST to NEVER pop a chip bag in front of you

I barely know this guy

This one was very hard to come up with 😭

Once you explain why you responded the way you did:

Jack: oh....

OH!

He's shocked to say the least

He's.....

Confused (another Confused one)

Why? Because he doesn't understand why people would do that?

Why would any person do that? Just....WHY in general

Buddy.....for the sake of your integrity and morals

Do not ever visit Mc's world

There's more were that came from

Anyways

He's just genuinely worried if you're okay

Both physically AND mentally

The way you described it (whether good or not so good explanation)

Has him very worried

what do you mean it's pretty common?! That isn't something that's supposed to be common!!

Is never gonna pop a chip bag open (does he even?)

He's loud

Very loud

Louder than he usually is

He'd start going into a speech about how vile humans can be

(Acting like he ain't a half n half pizza)

And then he'll go on to say something like how malleus would never let anything like this happen if he were the ruler (principal)of your world (school)

"HOW MORE VILE CAN HUMANS BE!?"

Sebek, dear if you were to go to our world, you would be flabbergasted

Anyways

If you explain in detail what happened, it'll hit him that you survived something so cruel

He won't call you strong (sorry)

He'll think you're brave, tho 🧍🏽‍♀️

He'd understand to a certain point as to why you reacted the way you did back there

He understands how a sound could be triggering to a bad past experience

He's never popped open a chip bag

He's not going to let ANYONE pop a chip bag or pop anything in front of you

He'll make sure of it

After all, it's his duty as mallues's guard to be able to keep the people (friend) around him safe, right?

Author's note: Alright, this was my first time making this kind of post so I'm kinda (VERY) nervous about how this post is gonna go 😭 it was pretty fun to make, a little difficult, but fun :)

I really hope I didn't get anything wrong :')

[100hands]

At Biju's (Architecture RED) 50th. With Sameep, Sridhar and Abin.

I first met Biju in New York. He was Biju Chirathalattu then - rising urban design star at Fox & Fowle. My friend Projjal told me about him...describing his talents and highlighting the fact that he was Malayalee and so we should meet. Right from those early days one could see the spark in Biju’s eyes...especially when there was good fried chicken and coke! 

He was part of a large network of Indian friends - bonding around the struggles of being an architect in the Big Apple - no money, crappy housing, long hours, and Cricket, of course. I remember vividly the risks we would take braving really shady parts of Brooklyn to go to that one friend’s place (usually Biju’s) where all of us had pooled money to invest in a dish to watch the World Cup. Biju orchestrated a ‘get-together’ at Fox and Fowle of this motley group to discuss the challenges and I think to start a revolution (Indian architects fighting for better pay, festival holidays, and well just fighting, being political).  

We called the group PYASA (Poor Young Architects from South Asia). Nothing came of this, but I saw then, Biju’s love for the microphone, panel discussions and saving the world. Needless to say, I resonated deeply with Mr. Chirathalattu.

Biju came back from the US in 2008 and over the past 15 years, has made significant contributions to Indian architecture and urban design - He has single-handedly proven that one can spend 25 days in a month traveling - to teach, give lectures, sit on committees, do social work, go for holidays, etc. and still manage to produce incredible work, at scale. Much credit to Kishore and the great team they have built at RED. I have been deeply privileged to have been featured on double bills, the B&B show, Raj Menon calls it, on a number of occasions and can now very convincingly make his presentations, which often run for hours. I am not sure though, how many more times I can listen to him talking about the Ground, density and his hero Charles Correa...! 

But jokes aside, I think the great talent that Biju has is his ability to arrive at and articulate big ideas quickly and effectively. We recently worked together on a plan for a large parcel of land in Noida - and it was incredible to see how effortlessly Biju established the general frameworks within which one could develop the scheme. A rare gift. 

Biju’s enduring fascination with Politics and Cricket are inspirational. I have seen him working late into the night - feverishly drawing on CAD, while Arnab, Rajdeep, John Stewart or Oliver are blaring on YouTube. He has deep and wide ranging opinions on everything, and like a true Malayalee, will kindly offer unsolicited pronouncements on the state of world and highly developed ways in which to fix things. His fascination with housing is fundamentally connected to this preoccupation with Socialism and Correa’s ideas on Equity. 

Biju and Saira got married in Kottayam sometime in 2003. I was there. Sameep and Kishore were there too. It is obvious Biju got really lucky with Saira! If left to his own devices, Biju would be much more overweight, much worsely dressed, and a lot more insufferable. I have heard that Mr. Kuriakose is now taking regular walks, even playing tennis. I am sure Saira inspires him - because with every passing year she looks more like his daughter! Saira brings culture and balance to Biju’s life. Some of the most meaningful things Biju has done are with her, Abin and Parvathi as part of the Hashtag Collective.  

Biju is a doting father and loving son - I know he has recently become an authority on 10th Std. Physics, Chemistry and Maths. Lucky, Leah? He brings both a strong, non-negotiable, Achayan’s patriarchy and a humour to parenting...but I know for a fact that both Leah and Rene, have him wrapped around their little fingers. Both of them have got his wit and self assuredness. In fact, I think this mischievous humour and typical mallu nonchalance come from his wonderful Mum, who is the only one who can put Biju in his place! 

Every evening I visit my Mum after work and invariably Biju calls just to catch up...and my Mum jokes that my second brother is calling. We do have a deep bond - we share our ideals as architects, our boarding school experience, our lecture circuit over saturation and our true and selfless love for chicken and coke…both of us unusual mallu teetotallers. 

I take deep inspiration from his ability to see very quickly the opportunities in each situation, his innate sense of where power lies, his charm, wicked sense of humour and forthrightness. 

It’s wonderful we are here to celebrate Biju’s 50th together - it does feel like he crossed this threshold years ago - but now that he’s here, he can truly exercise the privilege, which only age gives you, of being wiser than all those young upstarts, always being right (Saira, Leah and Rene please note), having a conveniently erratic memory, and being elegantly, gracefully overweight! But Biju has been abusing these privileges for many years already! 

Suni and I are lucky to have you and Saira so close…we don’t meet as often as we should…I think we need to do more lectures…but you are the closest friends we have. 

Suni and I congratulate you, Biju in completing a half century, with a fantastic highlights reel, and wish you a fulfilling and eventful march to a century…

[dgttwisted]

I was invited

trigger warnings: there is none this is just more fluff of Mal an Lilith

Loud knocking could be heard Matilda who of course was studying instead of sleeping answers the door to see her older brother while composed clearly happy about something.

"an here I thought I was the only one in our family to stay up until 6am" she said as a joke though her voice was as deadpan as usual "what can I do for you brother?"

Malleus cleared his throat before speaking his his hand extend showing the ticket that was drawn with crayon "I was invited by child of man to her tea party she said to wear my best dress"

Matilda knew which human it was immediately by the ticket an how it was drawn this indeed made her crack a smile "I'm sure she meant to say dressed up you don't need to wear one of my dresses to her party"

He seemed confused by that response "hmm I suppose that makes sense however she seemed quite sure when she spoke!"

"Malleus she's a child she speaks excitedly an confidently about everything, however if you still wish to borrow a dress I don't mind" she says letting him into her room

Malleus happily accepted the offer an while he didn't wear any of the dresses he did chat with Matilda while she studied.

---

Malleus arrives with a suit an a pleased smile on his face as the ghosts beckon him inside he is greeted with a big hug from Lilith "Hornton you came!" she was giggling happy to see her friend.

"of course child of man I wouldn't miss it for the world here this is for you" he held out a wrapped present

Lilith had a shocked happy look on her face "you didn't have to get me anything thank you! hornton!" she practically was jumping with joy

"yea gonna open it or just look at it" Grim griped

"grim that's rude" one of the ghost chastised him for his comments

Lilith holds Malleus's hands an leads him to the tea room "I'll open it while we wait for tea!"

Malleus ended up sitting on a bean bag chair for her was a tad to tall for the other chairs in the room. Malleus, Lilith, an Grim sat together at a small table with treats an soon tea brought out by Quinn who while internally nervus could see that Lilith was having a fun time so it put him at ease.

"hm an intresting tea set did you pick this out child of man?" Mallues asked looking at all the small details on the cups an stands.

"i did i saw it at Sam's shop an i thought of you I'm glad you like it!" she cheered

"the atmosphere the tea an the company are quite delightful" he says as he sips on his tea.

Overview

Thought to have originated in Central Asia and moved across the Eurasian continent through millennial, these fruit trees were then introduced to North America by European colonists, where they can be invasive. In the wild, they can be found along fields and hedgerows; especially on public lands and hiking trails that were once orchards or farmsteads. This small fruiting tree has scaly, brown bark and dense branches. The leaves are ovate with serrated edges, with the undersides being lighter in color than the tops. The apple blossoms (shown below) appear mid to late spring and form in what is called a corymb; a flower cluster whose lower stalks are proportionally longer so the flowers form a flat or slightly convex head. Each blossom has five petals that range from pinkish white to white in color, with many stamens in the middle.

The apple fruit ripens from mid to late fall, and the conditions of the growing season effect juice and sugar content. When it's allowed to ripen closer to a frost it ensures more sugars and aromatics. Fallen fruit and fruit that detaches easily are also ripe enough for use.

Due to the invasive nature of the tree, apples don't have any issues with regrowth for the next harvest in North America.

Folklore

-Golden Apples of the Hesperides-

Several sources speak of the marriage between Zeus and Hera, saying that Gaia (the Earth) gave the golden apples that had been entrusted to the Hesperides care to Zeus and/or Hera as a wedding gift.

-The Race of Atalanta and Milanion/Hippomenes-

Atalanta was a young woman who refused to marry unless the suitor could beat her in a foot race. Hippomenes (aka Milanion depending on source) was gifted three beautiful apples by Aphrodite and threw them down one-by-one during his race with Atalanta. She stopped and picked each up, thereby losing the race.

-The Judgement of Paris-

If you remember the story of the Iliad, you may remember the apple of discord which really kicked the whole thing off. The goddess Eris dropped an apple which had the Greek "Ti Kallisti" (romanized) written on it, meaning "beautiful," at a wedding. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena fought over the apple, deciding to have Paris of Troy be the judge of their contest. He would eventually decide in favor of Aphrodite who gifted him Helen, the wife of Menelaus, the most beautiful woman in the world.

-Iðuun's Golden Apples-

The norse were also fans of golden apples. Iðuun's apples in the Prose Edda and Poetic Edda are thought to give the gods immortality and keep them youthful. The Prose Edda describes how Iðuun was kidnapped and the gods began to age. So the apples need Iðuun to work.

-Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil-

In the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve are instructed to not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. However, it is never said what kind of fruit the tree bore. Western European Christian folklore dictates that the tree bears apples due to a latin pun: malum (apple) and malum (evil). Eve ate the malum.

-The Voyage of Bran-

This old Irish tale tells of our hero, Bran mac Febal, traveling to the otherworld. He falls asleep to some beautiful music and when he wakes, he finds a silver branch with white blooms, later identified as an apple branch by an Otherworld woman.

-Echtra Condla-

In this Irish tale, Connla had a fairy lover who was banished by a druid. Before the spell took hold, she threw him an apple. From then on, when he ate of the apple it would grow and become whole again, and his longing for his fairy lover would grow stronger as well.

-Avalon-

An island in the Arthurian legends ruled by Morgan and her sisters. According to Geoffry of Monmouth in his "Historia Regum Brittinae," it gets its name from the fruits its grow, among them apple trees. This is also where King Arthur goes to heal when he is mortally wounded.

-Snow White and the Seven Dwarves-

Snow White is a classic tale that most of us know from Disney. In the tale the young girls step-mother, and queen, wants to remain the "fairest of them all" and attempts to poison the girl with an apple. Which only succeeds in putting her to sleep, due to the apple lodging into her throat (according to Grimm's Fairytales).

-The Juniper Tree-

There was a woman who cut her finger while cutting an apple in winter, her blood fell onto the snow and she wished for a child "red as blood and white as snow." She had a son, but died a few years later. Her husband took another wife and had a daughter together. The boy was disliked by his step-mother and she beheaded him with the lid of a chest of apples, where his head then sat. The half-sister could see the ghost of the boy, who the step-mother had buried beneath the juniper tree (the same tree his mother had been buried under)... there is more to this gruesome tale but that's where the apples end.

-Johnny Appleseed-

An American folk legend based on a real person, Johnny Appleseed was a man who scattered apple seeds across Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Ontario. The real Johnny Appleseed was a piece of work, but in legend he was friend to children and carried news to settlements as well as building apple nurseries along his travels. It's said his bare feet never felt cold and a rattlesnake could never bite through his skin.

Uses in Witchcraft

Apples are often associated with love, beauty, and fertility; as we can see in many of the tales above. These fruits can be worked to bring in love as well as beauty (which is in the eye of the beholder). An apple can you bring you what you most desire. We also see that the apple is often related to life, death, and the otherworld. A branch with blossoms may be an excellent aid in spirit flight aiming to enter the otherworld, while making an apple offering can be great for spirit work. Ozark folk magic uses an apple cut in half for wart charming (getting rid of warts), as well as holding illnesses and curses, predicting love, and causing pain.

No known safety issues.

Conclusion

Apples seem to be loved the world over. If you have any folklore you would like to share about apples, or how you use them in your craft please share! I was only able to find information from Europe, so it would be wonderful to hear stories from people in other places. What do you love about apples?

[talas-first-lady]

I'm an encore send by Astra to lead more souls to hell. Only one, the other was never a legend: Amaya or Charlie?

Amaya. Easy.

No Amaya joining the Legends means:

Zari never becomes a Legend and presumably ends up dead.

Charlie cannot shapeshift into Amaya to convince the Legends to go easy on her, plus Zari isn’t there to be reasoned with, so Charlie gets sent back to hell.

No more Star Wars.

Mallus destroys the world (and that’s if they make it through S2 with no Amaya, which is highly questionable).

No Charlie joining the Legends means:

Charlie continues doing exactly what she’s been doing for millennia.

John has no bargaining chip and dies of lung cancer.

Astra is queen of hell and happy-ish.

The Fates and the Legends never cross paths at all.

Behrad doesn’t die.

Things are ok.

Okay!!! Au time!!! Restaurant in another world!!

Hannah (Kikyo's mother) as Mako

Ruggie as Aletta

Yuma's or Mallus's families as Kuro

This au goes as follows. The Lero family (Kikyo's mother family) has owned the restaurant for generations. They are the best cooks around. As such Hannah is pretty much a mother figure to all those who enter the restaurant. Wether from our world or others
