#book 7

[cloudedgalaxies]

Thinking about how I really want the end of Book 7 not to end in a battle, even though it’d be so cool.

We’ve already seen that Malleus is incredibly powerful, and honestly as it is now, I don’t see a way for the students to be able to reasonably fight him and win. Yes, everyone at NRC is exceptionally powerful, but they’ve commented time and time again how Malleus is on a whole other level than anyone there. We’ve fought him a couple of times now, in and outside of dreams, and it has always ended in defeat.

So then how do we save him? The one way that no one would think of, except perhaps Diasomnia and definitely Yuu—the power of friendship making Malleus willingly stand down. 

Malleus has been alone for the vast majority of his life. Now, even when he is attending NRC, constantly and perpetually surrounded by students and mages, nearly everyone is too afraid of him to approach him. Because of that, when the potential of one of the few people who are near to him leaving arises, he is so terribly scared and sad that he doesn’t know what to do besides force them to stay. He would rather have the people he knows live out their days in eternal slumber and only interact with them inside their dreams than watch them age and fade and eventually disappear from his life entirely. He is willing to be the sole person in the entirety of Twisted Wonderland awake, just so that he does not have to lose a single soul.

That is an incredibly lonely fate, to be the one person left not dreaming. Of course, he can enter their dreams, control them, see them and touch them and live out lives that can endlessly and eternally restart. But that is not the same as being with them in reality. Dreams are wonderful, but they are not real. Some part of Malleus must realize that—that his actions here are condemning him to a future that is so much more isolating than what he thought. And yet, what else can he do? If he restarts time, if he reawakens everyone, they will die. They might hate him. And worst of all—they will leave, given enough time. No matter how terrible it would be to be the only person left conscious in the world, Malleus must believe that that cannot compare to the fate of being left.

So what can we do to stop him? We can certainly try to fight him. We will probably fail if we do. The mages defending the rest of the world from eternal slumber’s reserves will run dry, while Malleus will continue to rule over his domain of dreams, which will only grow larger with every attack and eventual defeat that comes.

Or, perhaps, we can try to save him. Diasomnia, as is, is not doing so well in terms of magical prowess as other dorms are: Lilia’s magic is fading, Silver is spending himself transporting himself and others from dream to dream, and Sebek, while powerful, is still only a freshman. Similarly, Ramshackle can hardly even hold a candle to everyone else: Grim, as much as he boasts, does not seem to be notably powerful (yet), and Yuu has no magic to speak of at all. 

Imagine how shocking it’d be then, if these people, so utterly weak in terms of magic, are the people who are able to take down one of the greatest mages in the world. And they don’t even do it through battle—they do it through understanding where Malleus is coming from and trying to calm his worries. They tell him that yes, people will go, and there is no way to stop it, no matter how much someone might wish for it to be so. But for every time someone leaves, someone will also come. Malleus’ world started with Lilia, and then Silver, then Sebek, and now finally Yuu. Lilia is leaving, and so might Yuu, but that does not mean that they will be gone forever. There will be memories and stories and dreams to last a lifetime, and, while their gaps will never be filled, more spaces will open up to accommodate more people. We’ve seen it through the way that Malleus has slowly come to know more of the student body—his ‘friendly’ fights with Leona, Cater perpetually trying to get pictures with him, learning a bit more about technology through Idia and Deuce…while these cannot quite be called friendships yet, there is something there that can’t be mistaken. And maybe, because the people telling him this are his first real friends and closer to him than anything, he’ll consider it.

Maybe Malleus won’t listen to reason. Maybe Book 7 will end with a breathtaking battle that encapsulates the world’s best mages to overthrow the fae prince—NRC, RSA, NBC, legends outside the schools, and more—and I would be okay with that. But I also think that Book 7 ending in peace, where Malleus takes the hand we offer and steps down from his reign of slumber without any more bloodshed, would be just as beautiful.

I’ve been thinking and wondering 🤔 if they do increase Lilia’s life span, it’s probably not going to be hundreds of years. It will probably be longer but not as long as that (though I wish it were, because I know he wanted to see Malleus become king, etc)

So then if they do increase it, or maybe the years he has left is less than a hundred years, but as Malleus said; Lilia doesn’t want any one of them wasting their time on him when they could be living their life to the fullest.

In either case, wouldn’t it be heart breaking and yet poetic, for Lilia and Silver to have lived their life and then died at the same time? 🤔

Though if that’s the case, I wouldn’t be able to be as strong as Malleus, because loosing my father and brother at the same time?? That would break me if I was in his shoes 💔😭

You can also imagine the heartbreak Sebek would go through if his aging slowed down too you know? The pain he would feel.

But then, it also makes me wonder 🤔, it could also be half a century or the “remainder” of human years.

Because the whole point of his actions is that Lilia wants his sons to move on, to enjoy life, make bonds, and be happy. See life to the fullest as he has, enjoy life with the same joy his boys has brought him. He wants the same for them 🥹

In the end, it might just be that. Lilia living like a “human” seeing his boys grow and become the fine men they are and being proud of them all the while.

As any parent would.

Because isn’t that a parent’s wish? To see their children grow up, see them come into their own, know they will be fine, and once the time comes, they can happily pass with a smile. 🥹😭💞

#and the irony of it all the fae the feared general becoming ‘human’ like because of no magic and diminished lifespan #in the end this is another trait the two races have in common isn’t it #the life span and the wishes they have for their family 😭😭 #yeah I don’t know why I do this to myself either #lilia vanrouge #malleus draconia #twst silver #disney twisted wonderland #twst #twisted wonderland #book 7 #diasomnia #twst theory #twst theories #twst character analysis #twst analysis

— LILIA VANROUGE : book 7 spoilers

Imagine you're Lilia, you see your childhood best friend and princess die, your other childhood best friend goes missing, and now the royal bloodline is at risk because now there's only an egg that can't even hatch. After 300 years that egg hatches and you spend 100 and a half years raising him to be a king and continue the bloodline.

Then when everything seems to be okay and going great, you see how one day, a random human, that spawned at NRC, tells Malleus to drink the Grimace shake and he does, and then he dies. That's it, the end of the Draconia bloodline and all because Malleus drank a McDonald's shake because he's a simp and does everything Yuu tells him to do.

RIP Malleus Draconia you will be remembered as the simp you always were... 😢

m. draconia

— you aren’t exactly sure how to bring up the concept of marriage to the malleus draconia. you feel almost like a plebeian next to your lover, who’s so regal and beautiful to the point of it being intimidating—but hey, you’ve never let that get in the way of you before, and you don’t intend to start now of all times. and, it may be a bit too soon to ask for his hand in marriage anyway.. but even still, you found yourself practicing your origami to make a promise ring out of paper you kept handy.

— although, despite your newly made paper ring now held in your clasped hand, you still weren’t actually sure how to go about it. malleus is right beside you, dusk settling in as you walk around night raven campus, conversing about gargoyles and the like, though you weren’t quite paying attention. nothing against your dear dragon fae of course, but your mind has long since strayed to how to ask him for his hand in future marriage. well, in theory it should be simple, right? take him by the hands and say, ‘my dear malleus, would you like to marry me in the future? i promise i can make you happy!’

— you noticed your mistake the moment you saw the gears shifting in malleus’s head, as his eyes widened ever the slightest. though, he quickly finds delight in your accidentally spoken declaration ( you would’ve rather said something more elaborate to show your love ), smile visible with his eyes crinkling in noticeable joy, your hand clasping his now allowing him to take hold of the paper ring you would’ve dropped if you were any more embarrassed and clumsy. though, with excitement your eyes widened all the same as the fae prince delicately put the ring on his finger, a huff of pleasure escaping him.

— “and, to think i was going to ask the same of you.. i’ll accept your proposal, of course, dear. i do hope you don’t intend to go back on this.”
