Cause of Overblots, Rollo, and CROWLEY

My brain cells are trying so hard…but thinking about it, the Glorious Masquerade may have more significance than meets the eye (even if the canonicity of it is dubious).

Through the main story of TWST, we’ve all reasoned that the Overblots happened because they did all go through different forms of trauma, years of bottled up emotions, and sometimes overuse of magic. It makes sense, yet at the same time it doesn’t. As Idia stated in Book 6, in the past 100 years, NRC overblots never even reached the double digits, yet 5 (now 7) happen in the span of 6 months. No matter the trauma the students went through, it’s still incredibly unusual for this to happen.

Now let’s look at Rollo, the short king (in my imagination) of Noble Bell College. Let’s see, he: witnessed the traumatic death of his brother who was burned alive, no one could save him, blames it on magic despite being a mage himself, his own Unique Magic is a manifestation of his trauma and is literally powered by negative emotions, and has carried about a decade of extreme guilt and hatred due to his trauma that led him to lash out at others.

Of course, I never like to compare the backstories of the other Overblotters, but looking at the other backstories, Rollo had a VERY valid reason to Overblot considering the patterns we’ve seen. “Arguably,” Rollo’s backstory is worse than some of the Overblots (but again, they all experienced trauma in their own ways, no comparisons!)

And yet, he never Overblotted or showed signs of blot, despite meeting and surpassing literally all the criteria for an Overblot. Coincidentally, Rollo is NOT at NRC.

And isn’t that weird?

It’s just proof that despite all the bottled up emotions and overuse of magic DOES NOT automatically mean Overblot. NRC presents it in a way that feels organic and ‘normal,’ but it clearly isn’t. So many people go through awful things and life and bottle up their emotions, but never to the point of Overblot.

Since I don’t think anyone could have the ability to manipulate the Overblotter’s backstories (again, not the automatic reason for an Overblot), I think what Idia suggests in Book 6 is right on the money. Both of the things he mentions has merit.

Powerful curses- The Shroud family and Grim have their curses manifest through the blue flame, but as far as I know, it isn’t the only indicator of a curse. Vil has shown that items can easily be cursed as well, without anything looking out of place. As usual, I will be blaming Crowley for this haha. But think about it, he is the one who unlocks the gates and presents the Magestones to every student. What if he cursed specific magic pens that take up an absurd amount of blot? Because even though us, the player, can see the blot puddles getting bigger, it doesn’t darken the magestones until right before Overblot.

Edit: want to add that about how Crowley gives the magestones. In game, although he was planning to throw Grim out, he still had a custom-made magestones collar for Grim. In the novel, it’s described like the magestone collar appeared out of thin air from Crowley’s magic. Does he make the magic pens himself some how?? If so, doubly sus

Sealed Phantoms- I find it very interesting how all the Overblot phantoms from the NRC students have taken the form of the Great Seven. NRC clearly respects the Great Seven, from the dorms to the statues to the paintings in Crowley’s office. It’s to the point that in one of his voice lines, Crowley says he cleans the Great Seven portraits every single day. So what if he managed to seal phantoms that look exactly like the Great Seven (or blot) until they could “attach” themselves to the students that meet their image?

I think it’s plausible, because remember in Book 5, NO ONE, even Malleus, knew that Vil Overblotted because of the magic barrier in the colosseum. I don’t know about you, but why would the faculty make such a powerful barrier for an arena that used for student exams and sports events? Overblot magic is extremely powerful, yet it didn’t break the barrier.

Edit: In the Heartslabyul manga, Crowley made a barrier to protect the students 👀 coincidence? I think not!

If such a barrier is possible, it is reasonable that even STYX wouldn’t have known about hidden blot or phantoms.

Who knows, it could even be both reasons combined. Perhaps Crowley cursed the magestones to attract specific phantoms or blot, slowly infecting the students until they Overblot. Why??

I have no idea lmaoo. But I think Idia was on a strong track to figuring it out, and Glorious Masquerade is proof that the NRC Overblots are indeed purposeful

The ironic thing is that i found the Chapter 5 overblot easier to deal with that Azul and Jamil. The chapter 5 fights were a breath of fresh air in comparison to the hell that Azul and Jamil put me through

i really like how canonically yuu is genuinely supportive of grim wanting to be a great mage. if i recall correctly, even character voice lines point this out. and it seems like yuu dotes on grim a lot and defends him too??? yuu even encourages grim's ambitions whenever he declares wanting to be a great mage. and also when he does that boss-henchhuman dynamic. i mean yeah you can interpret it as yuu saying that being condescending and sarcastic as if they're talking to a child saying "when i grow up i want to be famous!" but like. i really think they're genuine when mc loves grim in their own way.

even if grim is usually a menace, he's become like family to yuu.

and i'm pretty sure grim feels the same way.

think about it this way. despite all the mess, all the unpredictability, the danger, and all the drama being in nrc. what's always the constant? yuu goes home at the end of the day to the ramshackle dorm (basically their home at this point considering they slowly but surely fix it up over time) and with who? “the great mage” grim. as the sole outcasts in that academy, they both sleep soundly knowing they will always have each other at the end of the day.
