Do they ever tell us why Sebek is so obsessed with Malleus and Lilia? I know a lot of people who think this trait of his is annoying - myself included - and I was hoping to find an explanation that might make it make more sense. I've been wondering this for a long time now so if you could share that would help a lot!!!

This is something I’ve wondered myself ever since TWST first came out! Unfortunately for us fans, there has yet to be anything outright stated about why Sebek reveres Malleus and Lilia in particular (which leaves us to speculate).

I guess the “obvious” answer would be that Malleus and Lilia are both powerful fae in significant positions of power. To be recognized by either one would be a great honor, especially considering how patriotic Sebek seems to be. It’s like your favorite Famous Person praising you—you’d be over the moon and stars to be noticed by your idol. However, I think there’s more depth to Sebek’s reasoning than just that.

I believe part of the fanaticism comes from his grandfather (Baul) and the stories Sebek has heard from him. He has grown up hearing all these tales of their country’s triumphs and how great the fae are, so that attitude is sure to rub off on an impressionable child. This family background, combined with the cognitive dissonance relating to his human half, results in a strong urge to confirm his identity.

It's a bit of a long read, but I'd recommend looking at this analysis I did a while back (before the release book 7 in JP), which delves into Sebek’s self-loathing and how he projects that dissatisfaction and confusion with himself onto others. Because Sebek is so hellbent on “proving” himself and his fae identity, it makes even more sense that he would want this identity validated by Malleus and Lilia, who are not only influential and powerful, but are fae too. It would be the ultimate acknowledgement and affirmation of who Sebek is. It would calm the turmoil and the storm in his heart.

Sebek clings so desperately to Malleus and Lilia and seeks their approval because he’s not sure of himself. He’s relying on others’ input for his own security. This also is why Sebek loudly and brazenly overcompensates by shouting “HUMAN” up and down the hallways. This detail is also reflected in Sebek’s UM—an individual-defining spell—which is rash and self-sacrificial, a sort of magic Sebek admits to not fully understanding yet.

That’s the theory I’m running with!!

twst manga bonus illustrations

These illustrations come to us from Kowono Sumire and Suzuka Oda, the mangaka for the Episode of Heartslabyul and the Episode of Savanaclaw, respectively. They were done to commemorate the release of book 4 + 3 of the Episode of Heartslabyul and book 1 of the Episode of Savanaclaw. I wonder if there will be similar illustrations to celebrate future installments of the Twisted Wonderland manga?

Do the Faes have beef with eachother or something cuz Silvers dad had been blessed with a fae magic lightsaber and jewelry.

It’s canon that nocturnal fae (ie the broader species that Malleus, Lilia, and Sebek are) do not get along with diurnal fae (ie the pixies that we see in Fairy Gala). However, they seem to be on the same side during the human-fae war, as it is often diurnal fae healing Lilia and co. and/or pointing them in the right direction on their trek.

We do see that the Dawn Knight and his wife were friends with “guardian fairies” who are implied to be the ones responsible for casting the curse that protects their son. But!! We don’t have confirmation that the Dawn Knight’s sword or the jewelry he left for his son were blessed due to diurnal fae having “beef” with or malicious intent toward nocturnal fae.

It’s likely that the guardian fairies only wanted to protect the Dawn Knight and his family and/or were removed from the tensions between humans and Land of Briar fae. That is probably their reason for casting the curse: to keep the Dawn Knight’s legacy, his son, alive and well. Wanting to keep your friend(s) safe does not instantly equate to wanting to harm others or doing it out of spite.
