Thiissss sonnnggg

This is song has been in my thoughts all morning. It’s the perfect song to dance with Lilia and Malleus.

Imagine with Malleus:

Other dancers may be on the floor

Dear, but my eyes will see only you

Only you have that magic technique

When we sway, I go weak

Dancing with him at the masquerade. There might be others on the dance floor but it’s only you two in your eyes. The world can disappear in this moment because there’s no one else right now but you two. Can anyone ever deny? There is love between these two. The future king and queen, but right now, two students in love.

Imagine with Lilia:

Like a flower bending in the breeze

Bend with me, sway with ease

When we dance, you have a way with me

Stay with me, sway with me

Imagine dancing with him late at night. The moon shines bright with the stars out. A moment between yourselves. Dancing close to each other in this ethereal night. How magical this moment is. This moment in time where you two can just be in love. Every sway of the hips, the twirling, pulling close, and the smiles. Oh, how in love you two are. The night shines bright on these lovers.

True Love really is…

Not telling your father/respected mentor that his cooking is terrible.

But instead, doing everything you can to escape it, make excuses for him not to cook, make sure ingredients are not accessible to him and so much more 🤣💞

[with the addition of battle music and serious faces]

It really says something when Silver’s bio says he dislikes Lilia’s food specifically, Malleus is out here threatening others not to give Lilia special spices, and Sebek is questioning how any one of them lived for so long 🤣😆

But never do they tell him they hate his food. In fact, you know they’ll eat it when none of their normal methods of escape works.

All because they love him and don’t want to tell him his food is terrible.

And I think that’s honestly really sweet💞💚

(Though wouldn’t it be funny if at the end, when they are all being “truthful about their feelings,” they just tell Lilia his food is terrible and he would be shocked beyond belief 🤣😆, just for that bit of comedy?

Watch him try even harder after 😆💞)

Responding to this

Well, I have no idea how unpopular these are, but here are mine.

To state it up front, none of these things I’m going to mention are bad or flaws; they’re just things that bother me personally. If you’re not mature enough to understand that, please move along.

Notes:

*Twst Spoilers for multiple entries in the series

*Some Twst Critical

*Grammarly’s being a dick so I’m trying a new grammar helper. Proceed with caution.

Trigger warning:

*Mentions human trafficking.

Okay, so let’s just randomly jump into it.

*I think Chapter 2 is the worst chapter so far.

I think it's one of the dullest, and, if I understand it correctly, Leona’s plan doesn’t make sense.

The plan was to stampede Malleus to injure him, right?

1: Would that actually work against someone who can a) fly, b) teleport, or c) has super strength and therefore could just knock down anyone that rammed him? And more.

Also, if on the SLIM chance he was injured, the whole game would be canceled due to an international incident as the Prince of Briar Valley was flattened like a Looney Tune character.

And let's assume the plan was to take out the other Dia-players. Malleus is so OP that he can just grab random members from his dorm and win the game himself, so that plan fails.

And didn’t Leona want to win again, Malleus? That’s why he refused to let Crowley remove him from the game! Why try to remove him himself?

If Leona’s thing was that he wanted to win against Malleus, have it that he was going to cheat, but Heartslabyul stopped him with Jack’s help. Or have it that Leona was subtly poisoning Malleus or that he was using potions to amp up his team. Something along those lines! And speaking of Riddle vs. Leona:

*I don’t think it should have been Heartslabyul against Savanaclaw. I see what they were trying to do; it’s law against the lawless with the “law” hunting down the "criminals,” but it wasn’t done very well, and we never see the ideals go toe-to-toe. Having Scarbia in the Pomeire chapter was also a waste, as Jamil and Kalim don’t really do anything. You could replace them with other characters, and the story would mostly be the same. I’d rather see Riddle vs. Azul and Savanaclaw vs. Vil. (I have another post where I’ll talk more about it.)

*Octaville should have suffered just a bit more at the end of their arc. I like these boys; they’re in my top ten, in fact, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think they got off too easily. Keep in mind that they manipulated and enslaved students and physically abused their dorm mates.

Yet despite everything, they barely got a slap on the wrist, only losing the contracts and Ramshackle before they were completely forgiven for everything. Even something like community work around the school would have sufficed. But I guess you can say that’s in line with the tone of the story, and I can live with it as everyone was able to walk it off in the end. And at least Azul did lose something he valued as a sort of compensation for everything, unlike Fellow and Gidel.

Yeah, while we’re on the subject, Fellow and Gidel deserved a hell of a lot worse. Again, I like them as characters and enjoy them as being an actual threat to the main characters. But they were kidnappers and HUMAN TRAFFICKERS. Believe it or not, with characters, I let a lot slide, but letting human traffickers get off without any karmic punishment will always bother me. Ace and the others should have kicked their asses. “Even Gidel? But he’s just a mute child!” True, but he’s still a human trafficker and therefore should have received punishment. I sympathize with their circumstances, but human trafficking is still human trafficking. And before anyone says, “Well, that’s keeping in tone with the story,” no, it’s not.

For this event, the stakes and tone were raised. How? Simple; there were lasting effects from their actions.

With every other antagonist—even Rollo and Azul—once they were defeated, everything was “okay.” People were sore but could go on with their lives, no problem. Not in this case. In this instance, all the people who were tricked and kidnapped are still dolls trapped in their minds. Just because we didn’t see them doesn’t mean their lives mattered less than those of the main characters.

“But it’s not in characters for the protagonist—who are twisted from villains—to care about stuff like that.” And sadly, you’re right. (Though I think Jade and Floyd would have tried to get revenge, as they’re that vindictive.) Doesn’t mean that it doesn’t rub me the wrong way. Plus, all that buildup, and we get nothing for the climax—what the hell twst?!

Story-wise, I hate Playful Land events ending for not delevering on the buildup. And I hate it personally for letting the human traffickers not face any consequences. At least, as a middle ground, I wish the story could have treated the two getting away scott-free as an unfortunate downside instead of an upbeat thing at the end.

*I don’t like Kalim x Jamil, nor am I too crazy about Yuu x Malleus.

While I want them to be friends, I really dislike the two as a couple for several reasons that I won’t bother to list here. Let’s just sum it up and say that it’s not my cup of tea.

As for Malleus and Yuu, while they have sweet moments, I don’t feel anything for them as a pair. And outside of Canon, it’s basically an Oc/X Canon, so my feelings vary depending on the different Yuus.

That being said, I understand why both of these are popular ships, as they possess a lot of tropes that fans just eat up. (And Yuu is a self-insert for people to have their own fun with Malleus.) However, those same tropes don’t appeal to me, hence why it’s on the list.

*While I think Malleus is cute, I get a bit tired seeing him everywhere. (It’s like the Frozen effect.) I also think he’s a bit overrated.

*While we’re talking about Malleus, I hate that he’s overpowered. I know that’s the point of his character, but I still dislike this trope with passion.

And I really hate that TWST seems to be presenting that the only option to defeat Malleus and save everyone in Chapter 7 is to basically beg him to snap out of it.

I believe that having a violent option available—like having the #1 mage in the world threaten to kill Malleus—would be stronger for the story.

For starters, it gives a personal stake for Silver and Sebek as they’re at risk of losing someone they love, and it makes the fact that they’ll choose the peaceful option all the more meaningful, especially in what we learn in Chapter 7, where their ancestors chose violence over peace.

Oh, and speaking of which:

*I wish they introduced more of the gray morals in Lilia’s dream instead of just ripping off Pocahontas’ plot and making the fae the woobie race. The reason is that in vignettes, Lilia’s usually talking about how it was misunderstandings on both sides that caused war, which is why he worked so hard to instill understanding in Malleus and Silver and tries to do the same with Sebek. By playing the humans are bastards trope, it underplays what he was saying. (And yes, I get they were taking influence from the live-action Maleficent movie, but still.) It would have added so much more value to everything if the fae were just as bad as the humans or if there was a genuine misunderstanding on both sides. And, again, it would make the ending, where they stop Malleus through peaceful methods, all the stronger.

And now on to the little stuff:

*I think the rating should be higher. I feel that if the story was rated teen at least instead of 10+, we might have gotten a bit more meat in the story, which is what most people want when they hear that a story is about characters inspired by villains.

*The shaft/shift land outfits are ugly outside of Vil’s. The hairstyles are pretty, but the rest

*I’m a bit disappointed with Silver’s Masqurade outfit. I like the mask, hair, and cape, but the rest does nothing for me.

*I like the idea that Lilia had an unrequited puppy love for Malenore that he grew out of and became the more powerful familial love over the idea of him being a poly with her and Leven.

*I hate the idea of Crowley being Leven. Crowley’s great being Crowley; he doesn’t need to be Malleus’ daddy.

*I like that Silver and the KotD are almost exact lookalikes. The only thing I’d like to change is the color palette.

And that’s it for now. We’ll see how long I survive the twst fandom after I post this. If anyone else has unpopular twst thoughts, feel free to share!
