Chapter 7 theories and Spoilers—

Considering the theory that Sebek may have something to do with the time crocodile from Peter Pan, is it plausible to wonder if Sebek may be able to summon Past!Lilia to help fight Malleus?

Not only that, but the entourage that trails behind Lilia?

Another theory I have is, Mickey and Yuu are connected through dreams. Especially when taking into account how Yuu was summoned to TWST.

If magic on Malleus's scale can mess with memories what other being could do so? Could it have been a subconscious call for help from Crowley? Or was it from Mickey?

My bet is that it may have been from Crowley and the Mirror.

I also find it odd how, when Mickey appears before Yuu and Grim a blot monster appears. Coincidence or not I do think it is notable to mention that; because it could lend credence to Grim Overblotting or Malleus summoning other blot monsters in battle to aid him.

Yuu not being included in Malleus' dreams dreamscape could mean a lot of things, but I do think of it as Malleus subconsciously believing that it was Yuu's fault that everything had spiraled out of control.

But it can also mean that Malleus does believe in the futility of what he is doing, and by not including Yuu he can keep his peace for a little while longer.

Yuu represents change and how everything that was once in the dark will come to light.

I also believe that S.T.Y.X will probably play a hand in their victory against Malleus, mostly because of their magic resistant armor. But also because Chaoter 6 themes of family and grief played a heavy hand and to see Ortho—the one who died but was reborn, reach out to Malleus, someone who is watching his father figure decay before his eyes....

I'm unwell.

#twst #twisted wonderland #twst theory #chapter 7 spoilers #chapter 7 theories #im not saying that mickey is the sole reason as to why the overblots happen #i believe they were going to happen regardless of the circumstances #but for them to happen in rapid succession #each increasing in scale and impact #i wonder if that was how the Great Seven met their apex in power and their end #not only that but Yuu being summoned as a cry for help for what was to come #to a point that their memories must be altered to become a blank slate... #sebek zigvolt #lilia vanrouge #malleus draconia #dire crowley #ortho shroud #also this is all so kingdom hearts coded

Briar Valley's Education System

"I learned all of this in middle school. Briar Valley is superior even in its educational curriculum."

I haven't been able to get this line from Sebek's Lab SR out of my head for the past day, and now you all get to hear about it.

I. The Students

Sometimes I wonder if the following is a plot hole, a 'lost in translation' effect, or if we're deliberately being fed unreliable information and Ch.7 will finally reveal the missing pieces— but how on earth is there a middle school in Briar Valley if Silver and Sebek were the only two children of their generation?

Perhaps I'm taking the terms 'middle school' and 'generation' too literally, but it doesn't make sense to me when we know that Sebek has siblings, wouldn't they have been considered the same generation as him? (The only other possible explanation I can think of is if his siblings are fae, thus potentially much older, and he was the only child from his mother/human father, but I'm not sure if that's already been disproven— someone correct me if so!)

I guess it's possible that Sebek could have been privately tutored or still attended a 'school'-like setting with a private instructor, but the real point I'm striving towards is that there was a supposed public institution for education, and Lilia deliberately did not send Silver off to attend as we know that Silver was homeschooled— why? Wouldn't he have wanted Silver to engage with children his own age, even if that was only Sebek? Which of course, raises more questions to me in particular about what is the real state of how humans are treated in Briar Valley?

II. 'Superior' Curriculum

This phrasing got a chuckle out of me especially with the current Scalding Sands event. I understand that at every opportunity, Sebek will find a way to extol the virtues of his culture and kingdom, but Briar Valley is actually so far behind in its understanding of the world around them. We know from Malleus' lines in the event and in his card that what he believes to be true about the Scalding Sands is information that is practically decades, if not centuries, old. I'll reiterate from a previous post, but it is astounding to me that Malleus is allowed to represent his country with misinformation that could make him look foolish to other nation representatives— however, that's not his fault, but a byproduct of the fact that Briar Valley is so insular despite having such tensions with their neighboring human nations. One would think that they'd be keeping tabs on what the humans are up to, but it's rather strange that they're not after such bloody history.

So, is their curriculum actually superior if it doesn't even teach the most up to date information about the current events in Twisted Wonderland? I'd hardly say yes, especially when being aware of what's going on around you, particularly for those in leadership positions, is of utmost importance. Again, I just wonder if these views of 'superiority' are ones held mostly by Sebek as he tries to navigate his identity, or are still widely held by the fae population of Briar Valley? Is that why Lilia isolated himself with Silver to educate and train him away from judgmental fae eyes?

There's just a lot of underlying tension I think that can be seen in many of the Diasomnia voice lines that make me wonder what life is truly like in Briar Valley, and if we'll ever get to see it through a human perspective.

#twisted wonderland #twst analysis #twst chapter 7 #twisted wonderland silver #twst silver #sebek zigvolt #twst sebek #lilia vanrouge #twst lilia #diasomnia #that was a lot of rambling ahhhhh #but i hope it made sense where i was going with my thoughts?? #im just really curious how humans fit into the fae world #especially with our only viewpoints being silver and sebek's father #I'D LOVE TO HEAR OTHER OPINIONS THO

reasons i havent been writing number 1...

"Ren only got together with Jeanne just so he can compete with Yoh because joco said so and therefore it's true"

Nah that ain't it mate

#i swear to god one of these days. ONE of these days im going to debunk this dumbass claim. it needs to die down for good #i still infact have an entire essay WRITTEN out to debunk this stupid false claim. its still in the wips but im going to post it eventually #im pretty sure what joco said in the final chapter was just nothing more but a casual joke.A JOKE CUZ THAT WHAT HE ALWAYS DO. also #NONE of these guys kept in touch with each other for 7 YEARS. NO ONE WAS INVITED TO RENS WEDDING EXCEPT LYSERG #Ren GOT together with Jeanne because he genuinely loved her. enough with the BS talk that ren only married her because he wanted a strong #baby to continue the tao bloodline when that clearly AINT IT.

We always talk shit about Mamorus bad fashion and usually think his manga fashion style is very decent (besides the cow print anyway lol)

But listen the boy literally cant dress right he doesnt even wear a tuxedo right, theres 3 types for specific occassions with specific etiquette and our boy is wearing all 3 styles at once what a mess.

imagine newspaper articles and forums just clowning in his drip lmaoooooo

#im breaking his tuxedo mask design down and #he wears a white tie specifically that we can confirm but he doesnt have a tailcoat #in act 4 we see his fit entirely and yeah he wears a white tie blazer but it doesnt have a tailcoat #naoko just doesnt draw it at any point #and in act 6/7 when Usagi learns his identity #he wears suspenders and a cummerbund belt which is a BLACK TIE tuxedo style #which implies under all that white tie shit hes wearing black tie shit #according to the articles i read you don't really do that thats bad etiquette #so Mamorus dressed really nice for sure but the tuxedo police would clown him for sure #also the cape is lowkey corny my boy went to party city and got a cape #he also wears the tuxedo in the middle of day usagi points this out #idk if naoko knew this but usagi has a point you dint wear a white tie in the middle of the day #you can wear morning suits and black ties during the day tho #he also wears this red ribbon in crystal and manga but i never seen white ties wear the red ribbon #in the manga this red ribbon is what holds his brooch in crystal the brooch just sits on his shirt #black ties are formal for sure but a more lenient on color too #white ties its only black or a super dark blue #this is more a situation of bad anatomy but how tight the tuxedo look on him in Crystal all 3 styles implies a tight fit #which is ill fitted he cant wear it right lol #in the early chapters especially its a lot looser fit but idk if its bad or not but it def wasnt making his arms and legs twiggy lookin #mamoru chiba #tuxedo mask #nikki talks
