The being was in the midst of being remade. Observing that it contained the words āas it's hero,ā I went to correct āit'sā to āits.ā Before I could, though, Grammarly leapt forward, crying out, āYou must correct your pronoun usage!ā In Grammarly's almighty wisdom, it confidently informed me, āIt should be as's.ā
A transgender superhero (S) who is not out yet, captured b their archenemies (A) who is giving an evil monologue. S gets so annoyed at A degradingly calling them 'little boy' so they interrupt A's monologue, shouting and shouts out that they are a girl. A pauses, backs up and continues from where they left off calling them 'little girl' in a degrading tone.
I'm in the northern hemisphere, so I was cold last night, and while I did see a restaurant capitalizing on that with hot chocolate, I didn't have cash with me. Also, imo, paying for sweets goes against the spirit of Halloween. So have some hot coco and stay toasty! Happy Halloween Bettina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I finally finished book 7 and with it my in universe analysis on Malleus' UM. Thank you @raven-at-the-writing-desk for all the analysis you posted as it helped me shape this.
1338 words
Sebek dreams about a world where Lilia is not losing his power. Where the diafam are all happy and healthy. Epel dreams about being muscular. Kalim dreams about going to school alongside Jamil in a world where they really are friends. Jade dreams about a world where he gets to explore all of nature with Azul and Floyd by his side. Azul dreams about a world where he was never bullied, where he excels at sports and is praised for his skills. Ruggie dreams of a world where Leona set up a school for Hyenas where everything is free. A world where his life and the life of the others in the slums have been dramatically improved. All of these are base desires that they have, brought to life by the dream. Ace dreams of a world where Yuu can go between Twisted Wonderland and Earth freely. Trey dreams of a world where others can enjoy his baking infinitely and where Riddle found happiness. They are relatively simple and follow the dream formula provided in-game.
Riddle dreams of a world in which his parents love him and he is able to experience things he wasnāt able to before. His parents are not mages, and likewise he is not either, meaning that there is no reason for him to have constantly been forced to study. He is rebellious and is constantly breaking rules and seems to hate learning. This seems to be a result of his desire to experience that which he missed out on. He wants to play with his friends all day and eat all the sugar he can. In conclusion, while it may show up in a very unorthodox manner, Riddleās dream does still fit within the parameters of the dream formula
Vil and Jamil both have similar dreams. Vil is a world famous actor and Jamil is a wealthy heir. The interesting thing about their dreams is that the people they say they hate are in them: Neige for Vil and Kalim for Jamil. I think this stems from their desires for superiority. Vil believed that he is less than Neige, so having Neige groveling beneath him, less than the dirt on his shoes, gives him satisfaction. Jamil meanwhile has grown up being told that he is less than Kalim and the rest of the Asim family. Having Kalim as his servant is a way for him to truly be above Kalim not only in ability but in status. The one he was forced to grovel for now grovels for him.
Rook dreams of a world where Neige and Vil are very close friends and go to RSA together. In this dream he is still in Savanclaw. His dream is shown to be very detailed. I believe that he is still in Savanclaw because without Vil to influence him to move to Pomefiore he would have to reason too. Rook greatly admires both Vil and Neige, and to see them together would be a dream come true, Additionally, Rook sees how much Vil hurts himself over his jealousy of Niege and if they are friends this will not happen. I think that the fact that Rook is not part of their friendship makes sense. He would not have met Vil if Vil had not gone to NRC, and he only met Neige through the VDC. He has no reason to know them, so he is not friends with them. Rook is an observer. He sees so much, but he doesnāt tend to interfere. For him, just witnessing beauty is enough. He does not need to be with Vil or Neige., Having them be happy is enough to bring him happiness. And in a world where he never met Vil, he does not know of the friendship he is missing out on.
Floydās dream is a little more complicated. He is offered many possibilities of happiness that lead to great success for him based on his different interests. The thing is, Floyd thrives on the unpredictability of reality. Unlike Leona and Lilia (who we will get to later) though, his dream does not offer him these. I believe this is because Floyd can only imagine so much. The chaos of life he lives in is caused by the unpredictable nature of others actions. If their actions are controlled by his imagination, they become much more predictable. A dream is limited to what your mind can come up with.Ā
Deuce dreams of a world where everyone is delinquents at NRC, and the dorms function as gangs. Many people (from my understanding) found this to be upsetting as Deuce has clearly expressed a disdain for his delinquent ways. That being said, we see how much Deuce struggles with school and we see him once again take the easy way out by making a contract with Azul in book 3. Deuce is strong, but not book-smart. In a world where NRC runs on gang-violence, it stands to reason that physical power would play a large role in the rest of the world too. Deuce decided he did not want to be a delinquent anymore because he made his mother cry over his choices. This would not have happened though if physical fights were commonplace to determine oneās place in society. Deuceās dream lets him make his mom happy, and take the easy way out. He does not need to struggle with being good, with being smart, he can just use his fists to solve the problem. His dream takes his desire for the easy road that is shown in book three and his desire to make his mom proud that is shown throughout the game and combines them into one.
Cater on the other hand dreams of being the head of Heartslabyul. What makes this particularly interesting is that he specifically states at the end of his dream that he has no desire to be housewarden. My take on Caterās dream is that it stems from Caterās desire to be liked. When Cater arrives at the courtroom everyone cheers for him. With how he is with magicam, I think he wants to been seen but is scared to show his true self. I think that Malleusā magic took his desire to be seen as a desire for attentionāWhich Cater typically portrays it as tooāand put him in a position where he would be admired and praised. I also think it is interesting how Trey and Riddle are kinder(?) to him then canon. He comments when Riddle and Trey call out to him that they would not do so in real life. We see Trey complain in canon about Cater not opening up to him, so I believed that this shows that Cater wants to be closer to Trey and Riddle, but he does not know how. He is scared of getting hurt.
Leona and Liliaās dreams are the most complicated. While the game states that the dreams are supposed to be pain-free, both of their dreams involve them losing people they love. I believe that their dreams include this because it is based on one's imagination. Lilia knows that had Malleusā parents lived he would not have gotten to raise Silver. He cannot imagine a world where they survive and where he gets his current family. Likewise, Farena and Cheka are parts of Leonaās lives that are so deeply ingrained that he cannot imagine a world where he is king without their deaths.
Ultimately, my in-universe explanation for Malleus magic is that it takes a desire they have and combines it with how Malleus believes that desire would be fulfilled to create a dream. But, it also can only do what the person can believe. So if someone cannot see themself being happy even when they get all they want (Leona) they wonāt be. It depends on the imagination, the stronger the imagination is the less happy the dream is because imagination is based on reality and they cannot abide by wishy-washy dream logic for their happily ever after.
Hello everyone! I made a spreadsheet that lists all the possible (permeant) guest room items as well as their materials, and has another tab where you can put how much you have of every material and what you want. It will tell you how much more of a material you need to make everything and if you do not have enough it will be highlighted yellow. If I made a mistake somewhere or missed an item please comment on this post to let me know and I will fix/add it.

Wait. In the Middle Ages you could be considered a witch if you were a smart woman, a woman living alone, and woman generally doing anything aside from having and easing children. If witches were spawn of Satan and/or made contracts with him, doesnāt that mean that he was encouraging them to be smart and independent? Does this mean Satan is a feminist?
OKAY HOLD ON TO YOUR PANTS THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG FUCKIN POST
first. we must establish fae genderisms.
(if you wanna just scroll to the headcanons for the lads tho feel free)
i think fae have around 3 āsexesā. i say āaround 3ā āsexesā bc science has proven repeatedly that sex is way more complicated than it seems lol. anyway i think fae have majority intersexed individuals with some female and some male. this definitely means that thereās not really a gender binary to trans around in, and fae donāt have the same concepts of trans and cisgender that we do. plus the fact that most fae, including both male and female (which here iām referring purely to whether they produce egg or sperm) have a range of traits that are traditionally viewed by humans as gendered aka breasts, external/internal genitalia, etc. i would say body hair also but tbh i donāt think they have any, baulās beard looks more like scales or horns to me and unless iām wrong i donāt think weāve ever seen a fae with body hair.
i would almost hesitate to say that fae are mammalian but they do have some hair as well as boobs (thank u meleanor for screwing w my fae biology headcanon /j) and itās also known that they r capable of creating hybrid offspring w humans so they have to be closely related enough to humans to do that so they are mammals, my thought is just that they have adapted to live in environments with higher magic. thatās why theyāre typically more magically gifted yet itās more dangerous for them to be without it (cough cough glomas cough cough) ALSO. BECAUSE THEY LAY EGGS, FAE ARE BASICALLY MONOTREMES. HAVE FUN WITH THAT.
anyway it's impossible to tell what bits a fae has just from looking at them. so they donāt really get assigned a gender at birth and therefore they donāt really have the same concepts of cis and trans that we do. personally, i hc that "he" is the default gender-neutral pronoun most fae use. that is all thank you for your time now ON TO THE HEADCANONS
malleus: personally hc him as intersex :) doesnāt really understand human concepts of gender, but is curious about it since arriving at night raven. he doesnāt really know what an āall boysā school is especially because some of his classmates r definitely not all boy. (he thinks thatās neat though.) dressed masculine primarily for convenience and would have no complaints wearing a gown. he/him pronouns bc it's the default fae pronoun and thatās what he grew up with but after interacting more with humans he enjoys a she or they from time to time. gender is like a fascinating human custom to him. also i love the hc that heās pan bc heās attracted to player character regardless of gender so iām sticking to that
sebek: [just insert the entire knuckles pronouns comic here]
ok all jokes aside he uses he/him as well, and thinks that thatās the default for everyone. the most important human in his young life was his dad who is also he/him so naturally sebek gets very confused when humans have more than one gender. most likely finds out more after asking about why epel doesnāt like being mistook for a girl (uh oh) he concludes he must be a guy cuz heās big and strong (epel what have you done). i donāt really have a read on sebekās sexuality and i donāt think he does either tbh.
lilia: THEE genderqueer just look at him. she is genderfuck incarnate. heās on that immortal vampire gender. heās on that ftmtftmtftmtftmtf type shit. a different pronoun set each day. throw some neopronouns in and stir the pot. basically heās genderfluid. gendergas even. sheās traveled all around the world, if you think he didnāt pick up all the different genders like a crow hoarding shiny objects you would be wrong. if you ask them directly theyād probably say their gender is gamer (to be hip with the kids). also a bisexual king and definitely had a thing for meleanor and her husband there is no doubt in my mind.
silver: well he was raised by lilia soā¦.. afab doesnāt really apply to him. he grew up in briar valley and was never assigned a gender besides the default pronoun āheā. when heās older lilia probably teaches him a bit about human culture and asks silver what he feels like doing and i think heād most likely go on t, partially for gender feels and also partially to build muscle mass and be a better royal guard lmao. his gender is knight boyprincess. no i shall not explain. i think heās sex-neutral grey ace thatās just the vibes i get from him
Helluva Boss Season 2 Episode 11 Mastermind spoilers below the cut
"I've ruled the endless dark
Since long beforeĀ the golden angel'sĀ fall"
Does this mean that Satan is the true leader of hell and Lucifer only took over when he fell? If that is the case it would probably mean that Satan was the most powerful being in Hell prior to Lucifer's fall. That would make Satan the logical second in command, and this seems to be the case with Satan is in change while Lucifer is dealing with Hazbin Hotel's plot. It also provides an explanation for Satan acts as judge, jury, and executioner, and for why despite disagreeing with his decision Ozzie and Bee don't push back more against his verdicts regarding BlitzĆø and Stolas.
Edit: Apparently, Vivzie made a tweet that said Satan was lying about this.
Do you all ever zone out as you get into the bathroom and zone back in a minute or so later and realize that you are brushing teeth rather than using the toilet?
Fae can cast magic without pens. They have a high blot tolerance.
Fae are very sensitive to magic and can sense it in a way that humans cannot comprehend.
Fae have a humanoid form (What we se in game) and an anamalistic form (like Maleanor's dragon form), but their tree form is somewhere in-between. Fae use glamors and transformation magic to switch forms.
Fae can use glamours to hide their fae features (i.e. pointy ears, Malleus' horns) but it takes more energy than most other glamors.
Full blooded fae cannot lie.
Crowley is 1/2 fae 1/2 something else (demon?) so he can lie.
Fae senses are stronger than most other species, though it varies greatly depending on the type of fae.
Those belonging to species like Malleus who live for so much longer than even their fellow fae will often commit suicide out of loneliness.
Between when Malleus hatched and Queen Maleficia called Lilia back, Lilia attempted suicide.
Lilia has dreams and Maleanor and Levan frequently.
