#that’s prolly the reason he didn’t tell us his name in ch2

Twst theory instead of studying:

Fae history (or lack ther of) (Briar Valley)

—————————————————

The reason why we don’t see much record of fae history nor do we have much understanding about fae in twst textbooks or in general is simply because just like any white colonised country (a country that never managed to recover most of their lost land at that), Briar Valley / Kingdom (the major land of origin for most faes) history was written over and downplayed by its colonisers during / after the irl events of Lilia’s dream.

The people know about Malleus simply because he is royalty and overpowered, not because they gaf about Briar Valley culture. He is simply a notable oddity on a global scale.

Which leads to one of my head cannons as to why Tsunotaro was so feared. It wasn’t just because he is powerful, no, it’s because he is also a tool for political fear-mongering.

Imagine an ex-colony starting to rise in power and recover from the damages it took from a war that wiped out half its population under the protection of it’s extremely magical capable queen (a power hard to cultivate in the world of twst).

The best way for other countries to maintain and establish their global dominance is to isolate Briar Valley via propaganda, which is already greatly achievable due to the fae’s mystified existence (lack of technological advancements and buried history). Now where else to better start then demonising the magical-nuke of a gothic royal family Briar Valley prides on?

And the thing is, these rumours are highly believable with people’s lack of understanding on magic and the seemingly endless pool of power the Draconias have, effectively obscuring the image of fairy-kind. The fact that Malificia is too tired to bother with the propaganda as she is tired with life (slightly implied in game) and Malleus being a mentally troubled autistic teen worried about making friends at school does not help.

So of course sweet ol’ Mal is not gonna make friends at school aside from his brother, his dad and the neighbours loud ass kid. Cuz who else’s gonna approach the emotionless all powerful Godzilla god-like creature that lives in the dark, feeds off of newborn babies, and will blow you to bits for even slightly angering him because all faes are arrogant and horrid creatures/j.

So yeah this is my ted talk on why Malleus is a loser (affectionate) who can’t make friends (self projection beam).
