scared for all these kids

In which I scream about a game called Twisted Wonderland at the top of my lungs - Prone to impromptu hiatuses (apologies in advance!)

I awake from hibernation to see that the Diasomnia Chapter is coming

It is time

[ainocard-suellam]

If we don't get to fist fight a god in the Ignyhide's Chapter, I will be disappointed.

On one hand, I want more like, full on action, but I also somehow feel that Ignihyde will be more chill and more filled with Big Sad

However,

On the other hand,

I raise you,

Giant Robot Fight

Chapter 5 Spoilers!!!

I could not be more not okay about everything with Grim right now

My fuzzy friend.......... will he even be in Ignihyde..........

Hrrm.......

Gotta be real that face he made give me genuine chills and my heart sank----

[ainocard-suellam]

Crowley is shady is something the fandom collectively agrees on. With the longer chapters this can leave more room for character development for the rest of the boys and the overarching plot. The staff is probably going to feature new events before we get to ignihyde.

True!!

I do wonder what Ignihyde will bring, or what sort of stuff will buffer us between Pomefiore and Ignihyde.......

Additionally though, we got a lot of world building in Chapter 5 compared to previous chapters. Most of it was centered around solely NRC ground, and then Chapter 5 came out here and gave us a bunch of Royal Sword Academy lore!

With that in mind, maybe we'll get more information about things such as overblot, which, with the new information received at the time of me answering this, seems plausible....

[ainocard-suellam]

With chapter 5 coming to a close in a few weeks, do you have any predictions how chapter 6 is going to go down? Like Hades was like not invited to a baby shower and turned a kid moral so what’s the plot. I hope Idia learns at the end that he can’t keep hiding in his room and make rl friends. Maybe some answers to the weird things Yuu has to deal with.

Hmmmm

If I'm being honest, I have the worst time generating any kind of theories or ideas for Idia. I want to say it has to do with him not showing up much in the story, but you could argue the same about Malleus and yet my brain goes zoom for fairy boy.

At the least, I do believe that his Chapter will have to do with Magift, but instead it's the championship between NRC and RSA. Be it it's a subplot, or driving plot, I dunno!

I'm also curious about why he looks the way he does... Flaming hair aside, the blue on his face is natural (according to Magical Archives) and he's got pointy teeth like the Leech twins. No one has audibly bat an eye in regards to it and it's been implied that he's human, but, he doesn't exactly fit the bil---

But!! I too want him out of the room!! And perhaps we shall learn more about Yuu as well.......

[ainocard-suellam]

With there being five overblots now, I can't help but wonder if Crowley knows about Azul, Jamil and Vil overbloting. The group may not mention Vil overbloting cause no harm no done and the lack of consequences for Jamil performing a coup. Honestly I know we joke about Crowley not doing any thing about it but did anyone tell him. He's still the headmaster you would think he would do something since five students have overbloted.

You would think ye...... birb dad do something..........

I do have a few odd thoughts in regards to this, though a lot of them are based around theories that I've seen around before:

Crowley could be a lot more aware of everything than we think he is, but is only standing by for an unknown reason. Overall his incompetence is a front to hide something, be it good or bad. Going off of the timeloop theory, perhaps Crowley tried to prevent the students from overbloting but failed, and under the notion his unique magic is time-based, perhaps he reset the school year several times trying to prevent all the overblots from happening, but failed everytime. Yuu saving Riddle perhaps opened his eyes to a possible way of saving them, even if the overblot itself can't be prevented. How exactly Yuu came to Twisted Wonderland of course is a whole other discussion for another dsy.

Though not quite related to why he hasn't done anything in regards to the overblots, I fo have my own theory that Crowley is a connected to the Diasomnia kids, mainly Malleus. They have about the same hair and skin color, which is arguably unseen in the rest of the cast. Even characters like Ace and Cater, who both have ginger-y hair are pretty distinctive from each other; their hairs are different forms of orange, Ace's tilting more toward red while Cater's tilts more toward yellow. Lilia and the aforementioned Malleus are also a good example; both of their hair colors are listed as black, but Malleus is tinted blue/green while Lilia's is tinted red/purple. Even if not directly related to Malleus, it wouldn't surprise me if Crowley was a fae from the Valley of Thorns.

There are also theories that Crowley is related to blot as a whole, but I can't really speak on behalf of those djdhdjdhdjd

Nonetheless, though the main story is presumably almost over, there's still a lot to be uncovered, especially considering the chapters can only get longer!

[ainocard-suellam]

Short comment from a Japanese Studies PhD student, Malleus says Grandmother 😅

Clarity,,, at last,,,

Thank you!!

[ainocard-suellam]

Imagine RSA loosing the 99 year win Magift tournament streak from NRC because of MC/Yuu lol

RSA: we have the power of friendship.

NRC: we have a MC/Yuu.

THAT REALLY IS THE MOOD AIN'T IT DHSKSHSKHSJSJS

[ainocard-suellam]

The fanbase at this point is too attached to maleficent being malleus' grandmother to give up it. There's nothing wrong with that. To me that headcanon gives malleus a sort of depth to his character. All in all Malleus deserves friends to eat cake with.

Give! Malleus!! Friends to dine with!!!

Given where the headcanon stems from, I can see why people are so adamant that Maleficent is his grandmother; with the way he describes the Witch of Thorns and then proceeds to mention his grandmother, it does sound like he's talking about the same person. Of course, I know things can sometimes get a bit funky between translations, as there's several different sources (prime example: is the female relative Malleus mentions in his bday card his aunt or grandmother? I'm seeing more people say grandmother, but the first post I saw said "aunt," which is what got me thinking it wasn't "grandmother"). It's why I'm more on the fence about it, but don't 100% knock it out of the park

Nonetheless, come Chapter 7 and hopefully, all of our questions shall be answered!

[ainocard-suellam]

Malleus can have two grandmothers! You can rip maleficent being malleus’ grandmother from my cold dead hands. But consider this, lesbian grandparents? 👀

I n h a l e s

Perhaps..............

And yes, my boy can have two good grandmas,,,

I'm personally on the fence in regards to Maleficent being Malleus' grandmother, however, I do like it, mainly due to the idea of him being related to one of The Great Seven; it probably won't be brought up, but I love the plot potential this holds

[ainocard-suellam]

The raw translations of Malleus’ birthday uses hiragana when referring to his aunt or grandmother. So it’s vague how she’s related to Malleus. At least we know he has one relative.

Similar messages so linking them together!

Noted! I think somewhere in my brain I was also deadset on "aunt" since there is an implication that the Witch of Thorns (Maleficent) is his grandmother, and he seemed to talk about her in a way that suggested she was deceased; of course, one grandma could be paternal while the other is maternal, so maybe he has two!

And yes, I really liked all the info we got on him honestly,, many answered questions but also many opened doors.........

[ainocard-suellam]

I thought the card said it was Malleus's Grandma, not aunt?

It think it's aunt, based on how he says it?

I'm 80% positive he says aunt :o

However, the words for "grandma" and "aunt" are very similar from what I understand, so it's an easy mistake to make!

I did a bit of research since I saw one post that said "aunt" and another that said "grandma," and I came to the conclusion of aunt, but I could be wrong!

Nonetheless, tis a female relative that isn't his mother and I'm shooketh

[ainocard-suellam]

The main thing I took away from Malleus' bday card:

Applying both knowledge we already knew and this new found knowledge, Malleus being in Lilia's care makes A Lot of Sense

Malleus says that his only relative is his aunt/grandmother, who is the current Queen of the Valley of Thorns. Overall, I feel it's mostly safe to say his parents are either dead or at the least missing.

Lilia is stated to have been the Queen's most trusted soldier, though if that's refering to Malleus' mother or aunt/grandmother is up in the air. Given circumstances, I'm going to argue he served Malleus' mother and then maybe later down the line served Malleus' aunt/grandmother, or vice versa.

Nonetheless, Malleus further states that his aunt/grandmother is very busy with her duties as Queen, though does make an attempt at showing him love every now and again. It seems like even if she wanted to, she couldn't have mothered him.

Thus, knowing Lilia's history with the Draconia family, she put him in charge of Malleus. Malleus also wasn't allowed to go out a lot, and assuming his parents are deceased, there could be a possibility that his parents were killed. Thus, Lilia would have been even more of the best option; Lilia can protect Malleus presumably without failiure.

This is all just me spitballing, of course. Though we shall know in due time the full details about Malleus' past........

[ainocard-suellam]

I never expected how accurate my predictions were. Some of them were off the mark, others were spot on and the rest just nicked it. I don’t what I should do with this power now.

FREAKING MOOD!!

A lot of my expectations/theories were subverted this Chapter and honestly I ain't mad, that just means the cogs in my brain can keep going nyoom

Keep letting your brain go vroom!!

Vil Shoenhheit has become my son on this day

[ainocard-suellam]

How characters wear their clothes tend to give some insight to what their personalities are like. If we ever get to see their causal clothes that would definitely speak volumes. Unbuttons shirts with ties are a bit more carefree but proper to an extent. Buttoned jacket and shirt are more upright and formal. Bow ties show a more cutesy look that hides their strength. But that’s just my thoughts.

True!!

Without knowing anything about them, you can tell there's a difference in aura between say Riddle and Leona, just based on the way they wear their uniforms.

Even Deuce and Ace have very different energies from each other, especially with Ace wearing only one glove (and as far as I remember, he's the only member of the cast to do so). Additionally, characters who have more noteworthy changes to the uniform, such as. Idia who has a big jacket that he wears over the uniform, or Jamil who has a hoodie on, or Kalim who is kinda pushing it with all the mods he has

Now that I think about it, it's kinda 50/50 who wears their uniforms without any noteworthy changes, and those who kinda stick out; it's all pretty neat!!

[ainocard-suellam]

Neige’s going to win vdc, it’s like Snow White being declared fairness of them all and the prince preferring her instead of the queen. That what pushes Vil to become desperate to become number one again. All his work and effort now useless, maybe Neige is naturally gifted compared to Vil who has been working hard since childhood to get where he is. Neige rose to popularity quickly in a couple of months and that what drives Vil do whatever he intends to do.

This is an incredibly old ask as I've been quite scattered as of late, but I gotta say, the spot-on-ness of it is incredible
