do you like my cat?

[zinmi-22]

I'm finally done!!

There are not enough subtitles for

"HEHEHEHEHEEಠ益ಠ"

[elenauaurs]

This was supposed to be a mini comic but- the demons won and I didn't have the motivation to finish it + I have to draw other stuff

It's basically Malleus looking to ramshackle and Yuu is in the roof. I thought it was cute so I felt it would be a shame if I never posted it even though it's not finished

Who knows, maybe I'll eventually get the motivation back? If so, consider this a sneak peek

Green lightning began to strike and forsake the grey sky. Every student on campus could hear the wind howling through the thick dripping rain, a sinking feeling of dread permanating through the atmosphere.

The aged concrete walls shook from a shrill scream, the anguished cry echoing out through the hundred chambers in the castle.

"YOUNG MASTER!" Sebek drove his fingers into his scalp, screaming as thick tears dribbled down his flushed face. From his reaction, you'd think he was the one who got hurt instead.

Lilia tutted and carefully inspected Malleus' head. The young prince was laying on the ground writhing in pain. Lillia pressed his thumb against the dragon's temple, examining the Fae's reaction.

Sebek and Silver surrounded the two, ensuring that no one could get past them. Malleus was in a vulnerable state right now, he had to be protected at all costs.

"The spell was quite powerful however it's not serious. Other than some temporary mental confusion, he should be fine." Lilia muttered, helping Malleus stand up. The young prince stumbled around for a bit, almost as if he was intoxicated.

"Malleus!" You threw the doors to the dorm open, running over to the group. It's only when you got closer did you notice your lover's spinning eyes, glazed over as he blinks at the blank concrete floors. Worried out of your mind, you rushed over to him.

"Tsunotarou! I heard what happened…are you okay?" The fae appeared a little puzzled. You stood before him and he fixed his gaze on you, confused and...disgusted?

With a hint of hesitance, you reached your hands up to cup his cheeks. Only to gasp when Malleus glowered and grasped onto your wrists, ripping your hands off of his face.

Silence fell over the room as he dropped his grip on your arms, allowing them to hang limply by your sides. Everyone gawked at Malleus as if he had just grown two heads.

Malleus? Malleus rejected your affection? The Malleus who waits outside your dorm an hour before classes just to walk you to school? The Malleus who once caused a week-long storm just because he couldn't sit next to you in class? Your Malleus?

You felt your heart sink. They say drunk words were sober thoughts. Did Malleus secretly despise you?

"Listen here-" Malleus snarled, his unfocused eyes flashing a luminous emerald green. The radiance and illumination hypnotizes you for a while. A kaleidoscope of green and blue swirling around the gems that were his eyes.

"No matter how alluring you look-you can't tempt me. I-" Malleus lurched forward, nearly falling over. You ran to catch him but he pushed you away, stepping back blindly. He raised a finger at you. "I-I already have a lover!"

"Yes-That's…me?" You blinked, confused out of your mind.

Malleus only scoffs at you, shakily taking a few steps towards the entrance. It was clear that his head still shook and ached from the spell's blow. Sebek was quick to stop him, holding Malleus steady. "Young Master! Where are you going?!"

"To my-my treasure. My darling prefect." Malleus slurred, leaning against Sebek for support. He continued his rambling. "It's Thursday- We have a club meeting."

"Tsuno-I mean-Malleus, today is Tuesday." You piped up, pressing a hand against his back. With shaky legs, he pushed Sebek off and turned to glare at you.

"Silence. It is not."

Lilia laughs hysterically, doubling over and grabbing onto his knees. Oh, this was comedy gold for him. Shaking his head at his father, Silver strode up to Malleus and placed his hand on the young prince's shoulder.

"Malleus, you're still delirious. Why don't you sit down."

Both Silver and Sebek started to guide the woozy fae onto the couch. You followed suit, taking a pillow and placing it under his head. He turned to face you, his head spinning, a loopy snarl and glare on his face.

"I...I already told you- I have a lover." He groans into his hands, nausea washing over him like waves.

The fae begins frantically rummaging through his pocket. He yanks out a little locket in the form of a heart, holding it up for you to look at. He hands it to you with an arrogant smirk on his face.

"See?"

"O-Oh?"Gently taking it into your hands, you flipped the metal cover over to see a picture of you inside.

It was a photo from your very first anniversary. You were wearing a flower crown made with roses Malleus grew himself, it was one of the many gifts he gave you that day.

Though only your head and neck could be seen in the picture since his coat had almost completely engulfed you. It was a chilly day and Malleus graciously lent you his coat after you had forgotten to wear one.

You stared at the photo fondly, shutting it close before handing the necklace back to the fae.

"Your partner must be lovely." You whisper softly and Malleus sighs, lolling his head back to stare at the ceiling lovingly.

"Oh. They are much more than that."

I thought he was going to have a stroke.

[twst-hottest-takes]

Okay, ik Mals OB (and the treatment of it) has been a point of contention, but this isn't about that. My hot take is that his loss of horn and magic was actually a positive for Malleus.

1) Before his OB , Malleus was so overpowered that him feeling too sad caused a damn snowfall. He regularly created thunderstorms when he was mad. As a kid, he used to hurt people when he got too emotional. He hurt Lilia because he was too happy. Do you think the current Malleus isn't terrified of hurting people around him if he gets too emotional??? Hell his sadness over Lilia (n Yuu) is what made him OB in the first place!!!! After his OB and the loss of the horn, he was able to break down over Lilias death. He was able to cry in his arms without causing the weather to go haywire!!!! I'm pretty sure that was the first meltdown he's had in his life that didn't end in someone getting injured!!!!!!! He can now feel emotions fully.

2) Not to mention his overwhelming power was never fairly... his. He was in his egg for 200 extra years, his hatching consumed Lilias magic and lifespan, his OP abilities were boons from the senate that hated the very person that made sure Malleus survived and grew up happy. His powers were never actually a good thing, they just made sure he'd never live normally. In the end some of that overwhelming magic was exchanged back for time with Lilia. His magic went back to where it came from in a sense.

3) Now that Malleus has been nerfed he can actually start growing. He had to ask Lilia for help to cast the spell at the final party. Do you understand what that means??? Now he can actually connect to people normally. No more destroying tech without meaning to, no more summoning Dormheads when he feels like. No more singlehandedly winning magishift (a team game) Now he has to reach out and finally make some damn friends.

In total his loss of horn means he can finally start getting character growth!!!! With how they went about the Shrouds we know TWST can do good character arcs. N Malleus is so popular that I'm hoping they'll give him the same treatment they gave the Shrouds.

Another point towards Malleus' "dismemberment" and "disability" from Chapter 7 being A GOOD THING.

Thank you, purplefirepit, for the screencap!

Second verse, same as the first. This has been pretty thoroughly discussed at this point, but it would be unfair to not have this get answered as the other one.

Malleus came out of his chapter better than ever because he had his magic yoinked. It's actually good character writing and gives us something to look forward to in regards to Malleus in the next part.

Thank you for your take.

[And apologies for how long it took to get around to this one. Everything in the askbox is getting posted in order of when they were asked and some take longer to answer than others.]
