Hi, I have a quick question. Out of curiosity I don’t remember if this was ever mentioned but why Lilia never try to have Yuu and Malleus be a couple or temporary couple?
Hi again!
You're actually the first person to ask this question, which is kinda funny to me considering there seem to be a lot of my readers that ship my Yuu with Malleus based on polls I've made lol
To answer your question, Lilia never tried to matchmake Yuu and Malleus cause Malleus is the heir to Briar Valley throne, so whoever Malleus ends up with will become a part of the royal family/co-ruler of the land, etc. That's a very big deal, so this isn't something that can be treated lightly, which is why Malleus wasn't allowed to be a part of the Ghost Bride event.
Like I doubt being a temporary couple with someone is even an option for him since he's probably expected to only date someone that he believes he'll want to spend the rest of his life with. Plus, there's the possibility that they'll put him in an arranged marriage which is not unusual for royal families.
Plus, Yuu is a human, and considering how the council acted in Lilia's dream, there is no way that they would approve of Malleus marrying a human, not that he would actually care what they think, of course, after how they treated Lilia lol
The council aside, I feel like the majority of Briar Valley wouldn't be a fan of the idea of their future king marrying a human, a magicless human at that. Since the Draconia family needs to remain strong to rule over the land, they'd likely see a full blood fae as the only person fitting for being their ruler.
Considering how Sebek acts, I get the impression that half-fae aren't exactly well-received in Briar Valley, so I just think that it'd be quite the royal scandal if the only heir to the throne had half-fae children, especially with a magicless human.
Of course, I think what Lilia would care more about is the fact that he'd want Malleus to marry someone who would be able to live a long time by Malleus's side cause he wouldn't want Malleus to deal with that heartbreak and loneliness, and he'd also want Malleus's children to live long and I feel like half-fae don't, or at least, while they may live longer than normal humans, they likely don't live as long as full-blooded fae.
Likewise, Lilia wouldn't want Yuu to deal with the heartbreak of knowing she's leaving her lover all alone after she passes since Yuu would feel really guilty cause that's just how she is.
Another reason this ship wouldn't work is cause Yuu doesn't want to have children due to her alien biology and the chance that her children could end up with a Quirk like hers, and having children is something the wife of the heir to the throne would need to do in order to continue the family line.
So, to summarize, Lilia just knows that the Yuu X Malleus ship wouldn't work realistically.

As a big name etymology nerd, it was driving me absolutely 🕵️ when I couldn’t find the origins for Kuras’ name. I knew there was something out there to find when I heard that Kuras “has a very deliberately chosen name.” [Link to Youtube video/statement source, timestamp 41:15]. But then I realized that I was trying to find a single word when there was a piece of his name that I've heard before!
TLDR; I posit that Kuras’ name is Sumerian in origin.
My theory is that Kuras’ name is a combination of the Sumerian words Kur and Aš.
Lo and behold! Pronunciation checks out!
š has a pronunciation: like “sh” in “shine” (I've also seen Aš transliterated as “ash”.)
Imagine imagine. What if it isn’t Leander’s eyes that control the magic. What if Leander has magic associated with his hands? Completely changes the vibe of the hand holding scene. The heart warming moment was just another way Leander was trying to control us. Like wait a second… oh he’s so enthusiastic to let us touch him but it’s not him trying to get us to be emotionally unguarded he is affecting us with his powers through touch…

Hi guys welcome to my essay:
Here are the cultural references I caught playing Touchstarved ANDDD my Eridia worldbuilding theory + observations. I’ll cut to the chase for you babygorl, Eridia is inspired by Middle East + Mediterranean. One could even argue, Turkey.
We will be looking at 3 things: Eridia’s physical structure(Architecture, geography), word origins, cultural references (like food, clothing, weapons)- with the current non-backer available knowledge we have right now.
I double-checked with internet but Im open for feedback correct me if I’m wrong OR you have any additional input🧍♀️
1) Eridia’s Structure:
Eridia’s architecture is confirmed to be somewhat inspired by Istanbul. This was confirmed in the livestream now posted in the RSS youtube. The houses we see in Lowtown are examples of the old turkish houses that were mentioned. We also come across mosque-like towers and domed structures. Also very prominent in maybe not specifically Istanbul architecture but def Middle East overall.
Evidence A: a1) Eridia Lowtown houses / a2 a3) traditional Turkish houses. A3 more picked to fit the vibe of Lowtown the source is Researchgate
Geographically, lowtown and Hightown are also VERY Istanbul given that the Lowtown seems poorer compared to Hightown, which is similar to the European side of Istanbul across theeeee drum roll pleaseeeee BRIDGES! CORRECT! Boom Istanbul land geography reflected in Eridian structures! Since we know Eridia is also separated by a bridge between Lowtown and Hightown, it feels not unique to Istanbul alone but at least resembling the European & Asian halves of Istanbul
Vere mentioned the weather being “Dreck”, idk what that really tells us geographically but I’d love to hear your thoughts.
THEORY: Location wise, Eridia is giving Mesopotamian locations. With river and all. We know Vere had said “this was more than a miserable (sth i dont recall before my laptop broke so I cannot replay the game rn someone reblog this w that Vere scene)” which leads me to believe that Eridia was once abundant-ish. Mhin also said its not that bad and the streets are now considered eroded (makes sense bc of water damage.)
The senobium is also a religious learning place and could serve as an institution more resembling of a historically islamic school: a Madrasah. Which also studied the sciences commonly during the Ottoman period. Madrasahs can be secular or religious. The Ottoman ones did study the sciences but outside of Ottoman Madrasahs I’d love to hear if they were secular or not (Even Ottoman Madrasahs were not entirely secular institutions.)
2)Word Origins:
Senobium written as Cenobium for us- is like a monastary that encourages community more than solitary. And the word itself has greek origins, coming from the word koinobion apparently). Leander is also probably greek bc of his name origins(Leandros- look up the myth of Oleander), but we can also see some other symbols/ references related to other greek myths like the pomegranate wine, the triple moons, the keys (HECATE AND OVERALL UNDERWORLD SYMBOLISM WAKE UP PEOPLE HE’S A- gets killed) waterways are also somewhat common in ancient sites (for any city close to a water source)
Eridia as a name can possibly originate from the name of the Greek goddess Eris- and it makes sense given the chaotic nature of the city. Mhin themselves said Eridia was never perfect which hints at some level of inevitable chaos.
3) Cultural references:
Mhin’s dagger- looks like an Italian stiletto dagger.
Evidence B: Mhin’s dagger vs an Italian stiletto dagger
Leander’s dagger- that’s a khanjar. These daggers are sometimes used to symbolize “manhood power and authority”. But take what I say with a grain of salt and feel free to correct me :)
Notes: Keep in mind that these dagger references are meant to show the blade not accurately determine where the blade is from-the argument is made for a region not a location. One could even argue this to be an Indian khanjar because of the handle.
Evidence C: c1)Leander khanjar / c2: Persian Khanjar / c3:Ottoman khanjar
Vere’s decorations feel Italian as well when paired with Mhin’s dagger. Kuras’s earrings are feel like they can be somewhere in Middle East (not super sure), Ais himself is an outsider to the city so no wonder nothing he has particularly matches what’s going on as Eridia’s vibe.
We look at Mhin’s blouse? Giving European bbg idk what to say especially those sleeves. And the overall silhouette.
Oh and btw. The lamps are Turkish/Moroccan lamps. And we have a silly little cup of what might be a funny Turkish coffee cup in MC’s room :)
(More evidence will be in reblogs)
But now that we are at the end of it all, if u actually came this far allow me to now get a bit more sentimental with my words: Dear @redspringstudio I don’t know if you will read this or see this post. I’m also sure we cannot get a confirmation(for now) if any of these are true or not. Either way, I have so far never seen Middle Eastern references in a horror game before. Neither have I seen it done well-made too many times. I have followed the old work of some of the developers on the team and had came across a similar, heartwarming world building with again, Middle Eastern tones to it. Everything I have said today might be a speculation, perhaps I am really reaching with some things I say. But at the end of the day it really really warmed my heart to play this demo and not only freak out about the characters, but the world as well. To look around, frantically take notes and double check my current knowledge to make sure I was not delusional when making this post is really something not a lot of games can make me do. This is yet another reminder that representation matters, and that small hints in a good world building can really touch someone. I remember giggling with my friends and going insane over collecting the evidence for this post, and it will forever be one of the sweet memories I have had when playing visual novels for me.
Enough of being mushy go like and reblog so I didn’t end up wasting my hours and shit/j
How the Touchstarved LI express jealousy
Ais: watching their every move. Tight hold on your waist. A dangerous gleam in his eyes as he peers over a rim of the glass. A squeeze on their shoulder and a threat under his breath. Snap. Pulling them in an alleyway and beating their face in. Bloody knuckles.
Leander: strained laughter. Clenched jaws. Smiles that turn cold when he thinks no one is looking. Whispering something to one of the Adders (if nearby). Pulling you elsewhere by the waist. A corpse with multiple stab wounds found the next day.
Kuras: contemplative look crossing his face. A shifting glance between you and the other. Subconscious hand over his heart. A slight pang. Why is he feeling this? Walking away quietly, forgets to say his farewells. Muted response when you find him in the clinic. Nothing’s wrong he just remembered he had work to do. Please don’t worry.
Vere: curled lips. Glare sharp as fangs ready to sink into flesh. Tail curling near your legs. Indirect insult thrown at the person. Mocking them for breathing incorrectly. Ill concealed rage when you state he’s being petty. Oh, so you’re going to take their side? Fine, so be it. You won’t see Vere for the rest of the night. He’ll make sure you won’t meet that warthog faced buffoon for the rest of your life.
Mhin: flared nostrils. Tense shoulders. Curling into themselves as they observe every interaction between you and the other. A cold angry glare plastered on their delicate face. Snaps at you when you ask what’s wrong, slapping your hand away. Nothing’s wrong! Fluttering cloak as they leave the scene dramatically. Clearly, something’s wrong. Found crouching with the cats with bloodshot eyes. “I’m sorry.”
Hey! I just read your Leander run down and it's AMAZING. You should do that for all the characters! I just wanted to state my opinion! Which is that honestly, idk how romantically interested in us Leander REALLY is. I think he does like us, but honestly, it all feels like a surface-level mask. He wamts us to depend on himz want him, need him etc. But he would play with your feelings and act like he didn't know you liked him. I also wonder if he would still do what he does. I think he would be a loyal partner, but I think he would still allow flirtatious behavior towards him to make you jealous.
Idk how this was buried in my askbox!! Sorry for the late reply :(((
Warning: Leander being two faced as fuck.
1. Is Leander romantically interested in us in the Demo? One of the charms of Leander I feel, is making people feel important and heard. His looks help… See how he rallies the Adders in the introduction. His charm is as easy as breathing for him. He also shows manipulative behavior: uses your desperation of finding a cure for your curse to bait you upstairs, quite possibly with the motive of inciting more uhhh Adult things. Another way of getting you to be more malleable and vulnerable.
You’re not depressed. You just need $250,000 in your bank account.
Reblog to materialize $250,000 in prev's bank account
I was looking through the LI's schedules again and um...
Leander is asleep at and for almost the same time as when Kuras does his Enigmatic Work. Do they have some kind of agreement to not step on each other's toes? Or does Leander truly believe that Kuras is 'just a doctor,' because he's never seen anything else?
Also Kuras' night reading corresponds to Leander's Blood Splatter. 'Who Slays By Night?' Wow, yeah, I wonder, such a mystery. I'd be so happy if in the game you can ask Kuras about the book in his route, and whatever he tells you relates to what Leander is doing on his route at that same time.
Also also Leander's Clean Up the Mess falls into Kuras' Resume Patient Treatment. Does he know that most of the blood on Leander isn't his own?
These two have worked together for 12 years and Kuras guided us to Leander for a reason. Does the doctor truly believe in the heroic mage persona, or is he complicit in whatever schemes the Adderstones are part of?
Thank you to @lord-shitbox for the edits!
It would be nice if devs give us some extra snippets about Sen and Elyon. They haven't mentioned them for ages :(
Something I really like about the demo—if you decide to stay with Kuras and Mhin at the end, Kuras mentions how the Wet Wick is notorious for it's watered-down drinks. But if you agree to let Leander make you a drink, the one he serves you almost immediately after this conversation is INCREDIBLY potent. It took me a second to realize, but it really is another big implication about Leander as a person.
Don’t be afraid, give us more of your Ais/Ocudeus thought crumbs
You mean, like...the spicy thought crumbs? Well, if you insist...
Ais/Ocudeus Sexytoxic HCs
Have been doing some research on The Tumblr and have seen people imply that Ocudeus can actually have full control of Ais's body? Which I guess I should've realized, but now that I have... Oh, the implications.
How many times has Ocudeus hijacked Ais's body when he was in bed with someone else, the odd pupils of his eyes hidden by the darkness?
