P.S: Ya'll are free to suggest/requests with this idea cause!

P.S.S: Check out bluegiragi who came up with this AU and give her some love!

Mages and Monsters

Mages are strange creatures.

In a world so full of monstrous hybrids and mythical creatures, mages sit on the proverbial line separating man from monster, stuck in both worlds without any hope of fitting in either one.

Because outwardly, they're average. No different from the billions of other humans. They're not born with the marks of monsterdom; they don't possess horns or leathery scales to shrug off small caliber bullets like dragons do, nor the claws and bone crushing jaws of werewolves, not feathered wings and razor sharp talons of harpies, nor the wraiths ghostly ability to become immaterial.

Outwardly, they're average. Ordinary. Mundane. Human...

Almost.

Because Price and Ghost are experienced enough to see the thing laying beneath the paper thin veneer of normality, are seasoned enough to quickly notice the one thing that puts an 'in' before a mage's 'human' description — Magic. Not the smoke and mirror kind magicians or charlatans use to swindle tourists out of money, but real magic.

The ancient kind, the capricious kind, slumbering like a beast inside the hollowed out cavern of a heart until it awakens with a terrible bloodlust. Each of them can attest to this; Price sports gnarled patched of scar tissue on the scaleless parts of his arm from ice burns, his draconic breath having saved him from frostbite that had devoured more than a few good men. Though Ghost doesn't show much skin, one can sometimes catch sight of branching fern patterns on his neck where lightning magic had shot through him. Gaz's back is peppered with hundreds of little cuts where a glass mage's summoned elegant ornaments had shattered into millions of shards, aiming to take out his wings.

And now Soap sports a mark of his own, his side tender red and blistered with a second degree burn. It could have been much worse, your flames were hot enough to melt steel, the only thing having kept him from an early cremation being the two solid concrete walls your magic had had to travel through to hit him and the enhanced regeneration of his thick hide.

But such power demands a cost — one paid in blood. For magic is as fickle and capricious as a rabid dog, just as eager to lunge for your throat as it will at the enemies, leaving lasting wounds for all to see; rough and calloused palms, skin blackened from blazing heat and freezing cold or marked with fern patterns of electricity, fingers stiff and marred with cuts from thorns and crystals and rock and glass, bone deep cuts where the liquid mana had burst out from the skin, leaving faintly glowing scars that never heal right.

All mages are born with this grievous gift, though one never knows whether it will present itself with a pitiful flicker of embers in a man's dying breath, or with a maelstrom of an infant's first hiccup. That's why most mages are sealed, by choice or force, a process which puts chains on the magic, making it and the mage docile.

But you are unsealed. And you flaunt that fact readily by melting the tail of their APC helicopter with one spell, not even waiting for them to crash before flooding the terrain with suffocating ash, the lenses of their gas masks already fogging up from the heat as they get out of the cloud of heavy sediment before it bursts to flames.

Sometimes the magic becomes unsatisfied with the weakness of the body, demanding more than just its pound of flesh and molding the body like clay to better suit it— Mage Marks, they're called — the subtle glow of magic in your eyes, the mana visibly pulsing inside your chest, the skin of your arms slipping away like wet paper before growing anew, this time mimicking the surface of magma, or the rocky barnacle encrusted reef, the gnarled bark of a tree, the crystalline inside of a geode, the ice spiked ground of tundra, or any other form that suits the magic in your veins.

The process is excruciating, the mana burrowing and gnawing on every nerve like a parasite that replaces what it eats with itself. But to you, that's an acceptable loss, because marked mages far surpass their unmarked fellows, your magic stronger and wilder, feral and viscous like the primordial force of nature.

So it becomes concerning when you're laying on the floor, captured, battered and bruised and calm.

Ghost had been waterboarding you for a while now, your body tied to a chair that had been tipped back so you were parallel with the ground. With water pooling around your head, your top half would have been soaked to the bone had your magic not been simmering in your veins, the magic suppression momentarily reducing the raging inferno in your chest to a meager flicker of flames.

They can't kill you, but limiting your magic for even a second is death in and of itself.

Your breathing is harsh as Ghost pulls away the cloth over your mouth, asking you a question as steam rises from your skin. Most would give in long before this point, but you just grin, eyes glowing with a burning glow, and make a comment about how good his arse looks from your viewpoint.

You manage only one small note of laughter, pitiful embers sparking at the corners of your lip, before Ghost drops the rag back over your face and begins anew.

Price watches all of this, sharp draconic eyes noting how the mana glows in your chest, pulsing like a second heart (assuming you had one to begin with), noticing how the water turns to steam a little faster when it splashes over your skin.

And Price knows.

You... You are going to be trouble.

Name: Jormundgandr Profession: Magician and scientist Height: 2.40 meters Race: Chimera (snake) Age: 80+?

Although at first glance York looks like an ordinary, average mage (something between skinny and wiry in physique), but he still has a lot of physical strength and his height "gently" hints at it. Weak expression of emotions and lack of empathy makes Snake a cold-blooded and strict man of science who respects order and observance of rules. Acquaintances often refer to him simply as Snake or Bookworm.

a few facts about him: - Works as a professor at the Academy of Magic. - Poor eyesight - Constantly freezing (hands like ice) . - Likes to spend time alone and quiet. - Has been married twice.

RWBY Characters as Tarot Cards

01. The Magician - Weiss

The Magician is a figure associated with creativity and limitless possibilities. Traditionally depicted with a wand raised towards the sky, the Magician forms a bridge between the heavens and the earth, connecting the supernatural to the natural. Channeling the raw elements of creation itself, this figure is capable of radical self-determinism and limitless possibilities. And what better RWBY character to represent this archetype than Weiss, errant Schnee heiress and God’s favorite princess.

Weiss’ primary character arc involves forging a destiny for herself outside the oppressive clutches of her father, Jacque Schnee. Rejecting the comfortable life of a noble socialite, she sets out to become a Huntress, directly defying her father’s wishes. Though its status in the canon is questionable, the first episode of RWBY: Ice Queendom implies that Weiss’ iconic battle with the Arma Gigas in the White Trailer was specifically meant to decide whether or not she would even be allowed to attend Beacon Academy. Even before receiving formal combat training, Weiss had to literally fight for the life she wanted.

But of course, Weiss is no ordinary fighter. Her signature fighting style revolves heavily around the use of Dust, a resource she has plenty of access to as a member of the Schnee family. Viewed through the lens of RPG terminology, Weiss fills the role of a caster in team RWBY, capable of unleashing offensive elemental attacks or supporting her allies through the use of her Glyphs.

The theme of Dust is important for Weiss' character, for it relates directly to her status as heiress to the SDC. Though she ultimately turns her back on that position, it is clear that her ties to the Schnee family have not been completely severed. Rather than completely distancing herself like her older sister Winter, Weiss is determined to salvage what she can of her family's legacy. She frequently expresses dismay and outrage at Jacques' business practices and political maneuvering throughout the Atlas arc, and her monologue to the Herbalist in V9 E4 makes it clear that she intends to redefine her family's name rather than simply abandoning it. In this, Dust serves as both the means and the ends of her personal journey: it fuels her path away from her family's history by allowing her to serve as a Huntress, but it also connects her to that same history.

Much as Dust connects Weiss to her family's legacy, it also connects her with the archetype of the Magician. Though the show goes to great lengths to emphasize the difference between Dust and the “true” magic of prehistoric Remnant, the practical effects are the same - they both provide the user with the ability to create supernatural effects by channeling the raw elemental forces of creation. Likewise, historical “magicians” of our world were not so much wielders of magic as those who dabbled in forces most could not understand. Before our modern understanding of science and nature, herbalists, chemists, and astronomers were all viewed with an air of mistrust by many clergy and commoners who saw their practices as tampering with the mystical arcane. To practice these arts was to face ostracism from greater society - just as Weiss faced ostracism from her family for becoming a Huntress.

Over the course of the show, Weiss has already undergone great personal change. Once cold and distant, she has grown comfortable expressing herself around whom she trusts. Team RWBY has in many ways become the family she never had as a child, a place where her icy facade can melt in the warmth of acceptance. She still bears the marks of a noble upbringing, displaying a grace and elegance that many of her more rambunctious allies lack. But her refined bearing has become an expression of personal identity, rather than a barrier meant to keep others away. Her snarky comments and snobbish standards have become endearing to both her fans and her comrades - oftentimes becoming a point of comedic relief as the normally unflappable Weiss attempts to make sense of the comically absurd situations team RWBY finds themselves in.

Even though Weiss has already undergone radical change over the course of the show, in many ways her journey is only beginning. Every day of her life is a chance to redefine her family’s legacy and undo the harm her father did. It is worth noting that Weiss never gives specifics on what she intends to do with her new-found freedom. She will be a Huntress, yes - but that has always been a role that could take many forms, even before the world-order began to crumble under Salem's assault. Will she focus her efforts on defending the innocent from the Grimm? Reforming Atlas' political structure? Enacting reparations towards the Faunus for the injustices committed against them? All of the above? The question is left open-ended. Ultimately, the important thing is that Weiss has reached the point where she gets to be defined by her own actions, rather than those of her family. Each day brings with it limitless possibility to reshape herself and her identity as a Schnee. That is Weiss’ ultimate triumph - the triumph of the Magician.

For the card art, the emphasis would be on Myrtenaster, both as a symbol of her own personal identity and as a classical representation of the Magician's power. Though shaped like a dueling rapier, the weapon is designed to be a wand first and a blade second. The weapon’s hilt contains a revolving chamber of Dust cartridges, and Weiss uses these to empower her Semblance - much like the quintessential depiction of the Magician channeling the power of the Four Elements. Weiss would be holding the blade high, tip pointed to the sky, as she is ready to summon her Glyphs and reshape her own destiny.

Hiemelda at the circus

Hima works in a circus cafe, but she is not an ordinary barmaid, but a magician who turns serving her treats into a real show! Hima is calm and focused, her hand movements are confident and smooth. A moment ago, she was holding the card you selected from the deck, which has now turned into a sweet decoration for your cake. A teapot floats above her head, which Hima uses to pour a variety of flavors of sweet syrup and icing over ice cream and cakes. One day, while making ice cream, Hima tilted her head to pour strawberry syrup on it, but nothing happened. The small line at the buffet fell silent, watching Hima. Is this magic teapot out of syrup? Focus failed? Now will it be possible to see what it's secret was! Hima, looking up at the teapot, shook her head slightly, raised her hand and hit it with her palm - a dull clang, and nothing - Hima hit harder, and then a flock of pink butterflies flew out of the teapot and began to swirl around Hima. Without hesitation, the magician moved the cone in her hand to each of the butterflies. The each butterfly landed on the ice cream and turning into an edible strawberry decoration. So a new “Fluttering” ice cream appeared on the menu, and Hima seriously started learning the show magic to not fail again

Glistening Summer Days | Artist: tsukimoto aoi

Story 1 A sunny day sometime in August in the Garden of the Sun. Summer is hot―everybody knows that. But summer is also beautiful―not so many know that. The bright blue sky soared above. Sunflowers stretched up to the sun with glee. Splashes of water leaped up and twinkled in the light. Butterflies danced with grace, flapping this way and that. Soft gusts of wind blew and sent music through the trees. Summer days like these melt all of one's troubles away. As such, a certain youkai could be found, doing something she wouldn't normally do.

Story 2 Wriggle Nightbug is a firefly youkai who suffers in the cold. However, since fireflies are summer insects, she has no trouble in its ferocious heat. She's often seen hovering in the night sky, but today, she's playing under the sun. After defeating the swallowtail butterfly fairy, Cirno declared summer to be her own. Capable of manipulating ice, she does tend to struggle in the heat, but today, she's off to play with a straw hat on her head and a popsicle in her hand. Despite the fierce summer sun, she's full of energy.

Story 3 This summer, Gensokyo was struck by a terrible heat wave and was hotter than ever. There was once an incident that disrupted the four seasons and smothered some parts of Gensokyo… but this time around, it was unclear if someone was up to no good or if this was all part of nature's plan. However, considering how the shrine maiden and the magician played in the sun and cooled off indoors while waiting for autumn's arrival, it seems there was no great incident to be resolved. Apparently, there's another world where Gensokyo is in the midst of a never-ending summer. Perhaps the Wriggle and Cirno of that Gensokyo see glorious summer days like today as nothing out of the ordinary. Or maybe not…

Story 4 Beneath the crystal blue sky, cool water sprinkled down on sunflowers in bloom. Perhaps spurred on by the beauty of the summer day, Wriggle was busy watering all the flowers, a joyful grin on her face. Nearby swallowtail butterflies swooped under the droplets and cooled themselves off with a pattering of their wings. But suddenly, Wriggle felt droplets of water slashing on her head."Is it raining? But it was such a nice day!" she exclaimed. Starting to feel like one of the flowers she was watering, she looked up to see Cirno flying above her through the bright blue sky.

Story 5 Munching away on her popsicle, Cirno called down to Wriggle, "Hey, whatcha doing?" The frosty air around her turned to water droplets in the heat, which were raining down and dampening the ground below her. "All the flowers are in bloom, so I thought I'd water them," replied Wriggle with a giggle. She adored the beauty of nighttime but was amazed at just how pretty the daytime could be too. "I see… Well, be sure not to get a sunburn!" chuckled Cirno. The two may not be the closest friends, but their conversation bloomed like the sunflowers around them. Even the butterflies seemed to enjoy listening in as they flapped their delicate wings a little livelier than before.

LeoHiso tinyfic - Waste of Space (p2)

A canon divergent AU where Leorio is a college dropout. Hisoka helps him out (in a way).

Here's Part 2, giving a little snippet of the magician's POV.

“You’ve wasted your life on a goal.”

At the expense of everyone else, Hisoka thought. Including me.

Hisoka felt more than a little malice. Taking out a maturing fruit was not on his agenda.  He didn’t even have justification for it, this time.

He’d considered voicing his opinion, but his fickle nature betrayed him to silence.  Emotions with no outlet were tricky, after all.

The Reaper was never so cruel. Not so petty or feeble as to hold a grudge, either.

Nothing so – he shuddered at the very thought of it – ordinary.

Plus, it never hurt to have a little mystery up in the air.

It adds to my charm~

Hisoka picked himself back up with an intentional sway to the hips. He did so like the outline.

Even so, he stuck to the backstreets when tracing the route back from the rooftop to the Arena. There had been enough fun for one night.

He would delay the picking.

Very short and I'm always worrying if I'm keeping Hisoka IC, but the writing bug caught me. Chronology and location went out the window (pretty sure the Arena and Leo are in entirely different countries). I've got a hefty longfic of these two in the drafts that I'm waiting on continuing after I've caught up + reread the manga. Don't want to mess anything up there!

Winter Wonders: Elevating Sunday Brunch at the Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse

Sunday brunch may have its origins in the English countryside, but it is undoubtedly a tradition that is all American. After the hustle and bustle of a busy work week, nothing sounds more enticing and relaxing than a leisurely meal enjoyed on a late Sunday morning or early afternoon. Family and friends can take the time to catch up, socialize, and indulge in food to be savored.

The Brunch Experience at The Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse

We are known for our menu of incredible steaks but are quickly gaining a reputation as the brunch spot in Jackson Hole. Our commitment to culinary excellence is revealed in every meal we serve. Still, our Sunday brunch has become a crowning jewel in our repertoire with its curated menu that caters to the refined palates of our guests. Let’s look at some of the highlights of our brunch menu.

The Monte Cristo. Its taste is as decadent as its name. There is nothing quite like a Monte Cristo on a wintery Jackson Hole Sunday. Crisp Texas toast is stuffed with Snake River Farms ham and layered with melted Swiss cheese. It is the best combination of savory and sweet.

Bison Eggs Benedict. The Million Dollar Cowboy Steakhouse has reinvented a brunch staple. We love to showcase the culinary appeal of the Old West with a modern twist. Tender bison is topped with poached eggs and rich hollandaise sauce. If seafood sounds more to your liking, then our crab cakes benedict will surely please. And for those guests who like a bit of spice with their brunch, the chorizo benedict with chipotle hollandaise has just the right amount of kick.

Stuffed Jalapenos. Date-filled and prosciutto-wrapped, these delectable treats are the perfect fusion of heat and flavor. Paired with the chorizo Benedict, these brunch selections will light up your palate.

Fried Brussels Sprouts. Our chefs have created a side that is more than a dinner staple. Crispy yet tender, this vegetable favorite is an excellent complement to bison benedict or the quiche of the day.

In addition to these signature menu items, our brunch includes timeless favorites like homemade cinnamon rolls iced with a velvety frosting, fresh seasonal fruit paired with honey yogurt and house-made granola, deviled eggs, breakfast tostadas, and roasted potatoes.

Artfully Crafted Drinks to Complement Sunday Brunch

We would be remiss if we did not showcase our extensive selections of wines, cocktails, and signature drinks made with our brunch menu in mind. Start off your meal with our specialty Bloody Mary or a sparkling mimosa. And nothing can kickstart a brunch like our Insomnia cocktail, a blend of Kahlua, vodka, cream, and a shot of espresso. And to warm you up on a cold Jackson Hole Sunday, our waitstaff is quick to serve piping hot coffee or tea.

PROLOGUE

“Object Academy”...

A school with a long tradition of fostering talented ones from all fields of society.

Approved by the government, this privileged school aims to gather and educate hundreds of world-class high school students.

Graduating the school is even considered a guaranteed success for the rest of one’s life.

With its purpose of raising the “hope” that will bear the country’s future, it certainly deserves to be called the “School of Hope”.

It’s gigantic building rests itself in the first-class area of the heart of the city.

As if... It’s in the center of the world...

There are 2 requirements to enroll in the school...

“One must be currently enrolled in high school”.

“One must excel at their field of expertise”.

There are no freshmen recruits, and only those who are admitted by the school are allowed to enter. And the one standing in front of its honorable gate...

.....................Is me.

Well, let’s get started. To introduce myself, who had been talking...

My name is Ichigo Fujisaki. I don’t think everyone would have been interested in it, though.

As you can see, I’m not beautiful or tall, nor do I have a strange aura surrounding myself. An ordinary student that can be easily spotted on the way to school in the morning. ...That’s me.

I have average skills. My grades are kinda good, but it’s also on the average level when you look nationally. I do have a great amount of curiosity that drives me to know more... but it’s nothing big.

As an ordinary student up to middle school, I was very curious about Object Academy. Because of this, I know a bit more about the school than others... I think.

Object Academy, a special place I have always wanted to know more about............. And I’m standing in that exact place, right before its gate.

Ichigo Fujisaki:

I’ve seen this gate several times on the media, but actually passing it through as a student of the school makes me nervous... 

Ichigo Fujisaki:

......Can someone like me really go here?

...As people say, there was a big difference between mere curiosity and actual experience. Before even entering, I was overwhelmed by the immense presence of this school.

Huh? Why am I so tense right now? Because a new high school life begins? It’s true, but before going into the real cause, I should start with what happened last night...

I wanted to know so much about this year's “Ultimate” students, so I went through relevant Internet threads to look up some information.

Only students on the top of their respective fields are selected by the Academy, and they get so popular on the Internet to the point that an exclusive thread is created just for discussions...

Heated conversations were already going on about this year's new students.

Some of them were ones that I have seen on newspapers and the TV.

For Example, the "Ultimate Painter”, was famous for her Picasso art skills despite being a student...

Or the “Ultimate Dancer”, famous for his dancing...

And the “Ultimate Racer”, the current ace of the national youth athlete team who has been confirmed to advance to the Premier League Big Club in the future...

Other than that, “Ultimate Ice Cream Churner”, “Ultimate Swimmer”, “Ultimate Nurse”, “Ultimate Musician”, “Ultimate Singer” “Ultimate Hostess” “Ultimate Magician” “Ultimate Gambler”... 

Ones that shine so brightly compared to me.

There is also to be a strange person titled “Ultimate ???”, but that person must have been picked because of their outstanding talent as well. As I felt fear and awe, I wondered what kind of person they would be.

Now, why am I so concerned about this?  Why did an ordinary person with nothing more than a thirst for knowledge got to get along with “Ultimate”s?

Find it out in my letter of admission from OA.

“This year, Hope’s Peak Academy chose one person at random from the group of ordinary students. As a result, we would like to invite you to enter the Academy as the “Ultimate Lucky Student.” ”

...That’s right. Ultimate Luck. Chance. Fluke. Good fortune. That was all. I was the one who was picked among millions of high school students across the country.

Frankly, I kinda regret accepting the admission bit. But considering that entering the Academy is the fantasy of high school students nationwide and grants a successful life, it was hard not to.

There are only about a dozen Ultimate students in the whole country. Being able to be their classmate was enough to get me excited...

...But now that I’m facing this massive building right in front of me, can you see why I wanted to step back a little?

Ichigo Fujisaki:

It’s 7:51 right now...

All freshmen are supposed to go to the entrance hall before eight, so guess I’m on time...

Since it’s too late to go back, let’s be positive. I should start by going into the building. I can’t stand here forever.

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Wow... the interior...

There wasn’t much information about the facilities, so it’s my first time seeing these...

Anyway, let’s head to the entrance hall. 

Would they already be there?

“Ultimate” students other than me...

...No need to get nervous. The Academy picked my talent of luck, so I can be proud of it. Let’s be confident. They’ll probably be good people.

I calmed myself and made up my mind at a lighter pace. Right, I’m already in Hope’s Peak Academy. This one step I’ll make will be one full of hope.

This should be the entrance hall...

The entrance hall................. From what I remember, all freshmen were told to gather here.

When I stepped inside, what I saw was..................

...Them.

???:

Huh? Another Student?

??? 2:

I heard that there are 15 new students this time, so we must be all here.

??? 3:

Hey~! You’re a freshman too, right

??? 4:

What are ya doin’ there? Heh heh, c’mere!

They’re... the ones picked to enter Hope’s Peak Academy this year like me.

The symbols of hope were standing, right in my eyes.

Ichigo Fujisaki:

O...Okay.

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Hey...Are you all this year’s freshmen?

??? 3:

Yup~! You’re the last to come.

Though, I shouldn’t make fun of you ‘cause I was the 14th!

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Whoa... You all came early...

??? 5:

Hm? Not really, It hasn’t been long since we all gathered here. It was like a group of late students rushing in all at once.

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Then did you all just arrive here?

??? 2:

I suppose so.

Now that you came, we’re finally all here.

They’re the Ultimate students excelling in each of their fields...

I noticed some who looked certainly beyond my level, but most of them seemed nice and friendly.

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Um... Nice to meet you all. So we're all going to be classmates this year.

??? 4:

Huhu... I’m already looking forward to this new school life in Object Academy.

??? 7:

I thought of a bunch of weirdos when i heard this Ultimate thing, but you guys look pretty normal than what I thought~

??? 8:

So it wasn’t just me. I was half excited and half worried over what my classmates would be like.

I was surprised...I was so worried about meeting others because I’m an ordinary chosen by luck... But those with real Ultimate titles were thinking about the same thing?

???:

Maybe we should introduce ourselves.

??? 9:

You mean a self-introduction?

??? 2:

It will take a while for the teachers to get here, and we don’t even know each other’s names yet.

If we’re going to be classmate in Hope’s Peak Academy, shouldn’t we get to know about others?

??? 10:

Icebreakers...

I’m Feeling a bit all-overish.

??? 5:

But isn’t it a good idea? There’s nothing else to do here anyway. Besides, we should at least know each other’s names.

??? 11:

Then we have it settled.

Introduction time... A chance to know about other people I met for the first time.

I’m starting to get curious, and want to talk as long as I can to know about my classmates.

Considering that we just met each other, let’s get familiar with them little by little through talking. This was a bit unexpected, but it’s how friends are made, right?

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Let’s start with these 5.

??? 8:

Hi, my name is Atsuko Omori. Nice to meet you!

Atsuko Omori:

Let’s get along. Hahaha!

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Omori...? The one who won the bug catching contest...?

Atsuko Omori:

Oh! you knew me?

Wow- this is pretty embarrassing, heh heh...

Right. That Omori is me.

Atsuko Omori............ Right. I think I saw her from “HPA New Students Thread” yesterday.

She’s the “Ultimate Entomologist” who won the fastest bug catcher in human history.

Atsuko Omori:

A few days ago, I was asked to hunt bugs in a race with real Entomologists to celebrate my admission to Object Academy as an Ultimate Entomologist.

What I used to do was a secret test run, cargo transport, and jumps, but carrying people with a real Entomologist outfit was pretty fun, too.

Of course, someone else had to do the announcements for me because I’m terrible at foreign languages, Hahahaha!

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Being a entomologist... Doesn’t it require those kind of skills?

Atsuko Omori:

Well, that’s true...........most of the time.

I just do that ‘cause it’s exercise.

I’ve been doin’ it since I was young without any lessons. I never got any specialized education on it.

Using senses...When a single mistake can lead to a fatal event......?

So this is what a real pro is.

Atsuko Omori:

By the way, what’s your name?

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Ah sorry. My name is Ichigo Fujisaki.

I hope we’ll be good friends, Omori.

Atsuko Omori:

Yeah! Just call me Suko. Let’s get along!

But...She looks like a cheerful person. It’s relieving to know that she isn’t the “evil” type.

Atsuko Omori:

My talent might be useless at school, but I can lighten you guys’ mood up a lot!

Maybe I can be an Ultimate Self Believer? Haha!

Hm... I’m sure someone like her can do it.

???:

Chiaki Ayame, The Ultimate Ice Cream Churner. 

Chiaki Ayame:

Nice to meet you.

Chiaki Ayame...He was bullied for loving ice cream at a very young age. Every day of every week would be him trying to make it by himself, but Chiaki was unable to reach the expectations set upon him...

Soon, his ice cream and snow cone making skills increased dramatically over a short period of time, and allowed his to reach the standards set by his parents who saved his life and loved him so dearly...

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Nice to meet you. I’m Ichigo Fujisaki.

Chiaki Ayame:

Let’s get along Ichigo.

I understand now that I met him for real... Why were people saying “Who is Chiaki and why is he here?” in the thread.

Ichigo Fujisaki:

You've been obsessed with ice cream to see.

Chiaki Ayame:

Obsessed? I...I Just Like Okay...?

Ichigo Fujisaki:

Sorry about that...

Chiaki Ayame:

It’s okay.

Turning Corporate Events Into Memorable Experiences

Corporate events play a significant role in fostering connections, strengthening relationships, and driving business growth. However, to truly make an impact, these events need to transcend the ordinary and become unforgettable experiences. When done right, unforgettable corporate events have the power to leave a lasting impression on attendees, create positive brand associations, and generate valuable networking opportunities. So, how can you turn your next corporate event into an unforgettable experience? Let's dive in and explore the importance of memorable corporate events.

Choosing the Perfect Venue  

When it comes to corporate events, location is everything. Choosing the right venue can set the tone for the entire experience. Consider factors such as accessibility, capacity, and ambiance when scouting for the perfect spot. Whether it's a glamorous hotel ballroom or a unique outdoor space, make sure the venue aligns with your event objectives and leaves a lasting impression on your guests.

 Designing Interactive Activities to Engage Attendees

Say goodbye to boring icebreakers and hello to interactive activities that will have your attendees eagerly participating. Incorporate team building exercises, hands-on workshops, and interactive games that encourage collaboration and engagement. These activities not only break the ice but also create memorable moments that foster stronger connections among attendees.

Incorporating Unique and Memorable Entertainment Options

Entertainment plays a crucial role in creating an unforgettable corporate event. Think beyond traditional keynote speakers and embrace unique and memorable entertainment options. Consider hiring performers, such as magicians or live bands, or even incorporating technology-driven experiences like virtual reality or augmented reality. The key is to surprise and delight your audience, ensuring they have an experience they won't soon forget.

Creating a Memorable Food and Beverage Menu

When it comes to successful corporate event planning, the food and drinks are often the cherry on top that can take the experience from "meh" to "wow." Goodbye stale sandwiches and lukewarm coffee, and hello mouthwatering menus that will leave your guests begging for seconds. Get creative with your food choices, offering a variety of options to suit different tastes and dietary needs. Think gourmet sliders, interactive food stations, and Instagram-worthy desserts. Remember, a happy attendee is a well-fed attendee! Exploring Creative Food Presentation and Service Styles

Presentation is everything, my friends. Don't just plop the food on a plain old buffet table and call it a day. Think outside the box (or the chafing dish) and explore creative ways to present your culinary delights. How about a sushi bar housed in a sleek, modern ice sculpture? Or maybe a live cooking station where guests can watch their food being prepared by a chef extraordinaire? Remember to also consider the service style – from elegant plated dinners to fun and interactive food trucks, the options are endless. Keep your guests on their toes and their taste buds tingling. Developing a Comprehensive Event Timeline and Checklist

Planning a corporate event is like conducting a symphony orchestra – timing is everything. Create a detailed event timeline that covers everything from initial planning to post-event follow-up. Think about all the moving parts, from venue setup to registration desk, and make sure each task is assigned to the right team member. A checklist will be your best friend to ensure no detail goes unattended. Tick off each item as you go, and you'll be conducting your event with flawless precision. Coordinating with Vendors and Suppliers for Smooth Operations

No event is an island, and you can't do it all by yourself. Reach out to vendors and suppliers who can help you bring your event to life. Whether it's the AV team, the floral designer, or the transportation company, clear and constant communication is key. Make sure everyone is on the same page and understands the vision for the event. Remember, a well-oiled machine is the secret to a smooth and successful corporate shindig. Adding Personal Touches to Enhance Attendee Experience

You want your corporate event to be as memorable as that time you got free pizza for a year (a true highlight of my life). Adding personal touches can make all the difference. Think about the little details that will make your attendees feel special, like personalized name tags or welcome gifts tailored to their interests. Consider incorporating elements that reflect your company culture or industry, such as themed decorations or entertainment. Remember, the devil is in the details, but so is the delight. Using Technology to Create Customized Event Experiences

In the age of smartphones and virtual reality, why not harness the power of technology to amp up your event? Use event apps to provide attendees with personalized schedules and interactive maps. Explore virtual reality experiences that transport your guests to different worlds (without the need for a spaceship). Embrace social media and encourage attendees to share their experiences using event hashtags. The possibilities are endless, and so are the opportunities to create unforgettable moments.

Defining Key Performance Indicators for Event Success

Sure, your corporate event was a blast, but how do you know if it was successful? Set clear goals and define key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure your event's impact. Whether it's the number of leads generated, attendee satisfaction ratings, or social media engagement, choose metrics that align with your event's objectives. By setting measurable goals, you'll be able to evaluate the success of your event and make data-driven decisions for future shindigs.

Engage an Event Management Agency

Event management agencies play a crucial role in planning, organizing, and executing successful corporate events. From small business conferences to large-scale product launch events, these agencies specialize in creating memorable experiences tailored to the unique needs and objectives of each client. There are numerous advantages of hiring an event management agency for your corporate events.

How to Transform a Banquet Hall into a Magical Wonderland

Are you attempting to plan a truly endearing and memorable event? By converting a dining room into a spectacular paradise, you may transport your guests to a wonderful world. With a little creativity and planning, an ordinary location may become extraordinary.

Imagination is key while organizing an event in Yadu Greens By Five Spice. They may assist you in creating a magical occasion that will grow and become noteworthy. They may turn a banquet hall into a quirky and enticing setting that will charm your visitors by paying close attention to the little things and using a little ingenuity.

We'll walk you through the process of changing a banquet hall into an enchanted realm that will leave an impression on your visitors in this post.

Tips for Creating a Magical Wonderland in a Banquet Hall

Choosing a Theme

Choosing a theme is the first step in transforming a Banquet Hall in Delhi into a fantastical world. Choose a theme that fits the mood you wish to set, whether it be a fairy tale, an enchanting woodland, or a mysterious garden. All the elements that come after the theme will be built upon it.

Stunning Decorations

The right decorations are essential to establishing a fantastic ambiance. Include components like cascading flower arrangements, shimmering drapes, and dangling fairy lights. Glistening crystals and trinkets can add a subtle shimmer. To improve the atmosphere overall, think about utilizing backgrounds and props that complement the theme you have chosen.

Spectral Lighting

Any place may be changed by lighting, but a fantastic paradise requires special lighting. Use warm, gentle lighting to provide an ethereal radiance. To give a hint of magic, use candles, lanterns, and fairy lights. To improve the ambiance and mood of various spaces within the banquet hall, strategically use colored lighting.

Gorgeous Centrepieces

Centerpieces can act as focal points and connect the overall theme to the event. Pick centerpieces that inspire a sense of magic, such as artistic sculptures or floral arrangements with sparkling lights. To give a natural and whimsical touch, think of using materials from nature like moss, branches, or feathers.

Table Settings Inspired by Fairy Tales

Set tables that will immerse your visitors in a fairy tale. Consider using antique china, goblets, cutlery, or other fanciful and decorative tableware. Add exquisite cotton napkins that are decorated with little trinkets or ribbons. To add a whimsical touch, lay miniature figurines or place cards with fairy tale themes at each table setting.

Draperies and fabrics

Use airy textiles and curtains to turn the Banquet Hall at GT Karnal Road into a mystical fantasy. Suspend gossamer cloth, fluttering ribbons, or sheer drapes from the walls or ceiling. To create the impression that you are beneath a gorgeous sky, use billowing fabrics to create a canopy effect. These swooping fabrics will give the room a touch of elegance and imagination.

Religious Entertainment

Use mystical entertainment that fits your topic to captivate your audience. Hire entertainers to create an unforgettable experience, such as magicians, acrobats, or aerialists. A string quartet or live ethereal musicians can produce a charming ambiance. Guests can be entertained by interactive performers while also feeling surprised and awed.

Imaginative Food and Drink Options

Include wacky menu items and drinks that go with the magical theme. For a mystical effect, serve colorful cocktails with dry ice. Imaginative desserts like miniature cakes, macarons, and sweets can be used to create dessert tables. Offer distinctive food stations with engaging features, such as a bar where guests may create their drinks or a chocolate fountain surrounded by edible flowers.

Putting Together a Magical Entrance

Make a spectacular entrance to your event to set the mood. Use decorations like a flower- and light-adorned archway or a path lined with lanterns. To give the space a mysterious feel as guests arrive, install a fog machine. To improve the ambiance, add sound effects like gentle chimes or jingling bells.

Engaging the Senses

Utilize all of your guests' senses to transport them to a fantastic realm. To introduce wonderful scents into the air, use scented candles or diffusers. Play calming music that goes with the theme. Provide guests with tactile interactive experiences so they may feel various textures. The encounter will be more captivating and unforgettable if the senses are involved.

Integrated Audiovisual Effects

Add immersive audiovisual elements to heighten the enchanted mood. Set up sizable screens or projections that show beautiful scenes, such as a night sky filled with stars or a mysterious forest. Use coordinated lighting effects to amplify the mood and produce illusions. With the help of these audiovisual effects, visitors will enter a fantastical new universe.

Capturing the Magic

Make sure the enchantment of your luxury banquet in Delhi is captured and maintained. Engage a qualified photographer or videographer to capture the event on camera. Encourage visitors to use a personalized hashtag to post about their experiences on social media. You can keep the enchantment going after the event by catching the magic.

Conclusion 

As the doors to your transformed banquet hall close behind them, your guests will have a lasting memory of a magnificent paradise. The combination of skillful lighting, attractive curtains, seductive flowers, and eccentric decorations has transported them to a land where dreams come true. The soft tunes and unassuming noises were still echoing in their hearts, acting as a remembrance of the enchantment they experienced. 

You have produced a genuinely spectacular event by embracing the power of creativity and paying close attention to detail. Go ahead and let your imagination soar because you can weave magic within a banquet hall and transform commonplace events into genuinely extraordinary ones.

PARENT DIRECTORY STAR KNIGHT APK FREE

Star Knight was about as basic as they come, "Alien comes to Earth to study our world and he falls in love." Big whoop, right? Well as simple as it is it really could have succeed (in its own way) had the characters worked better and the film was played straight. I suppose the alien "IX" (Miguel Bosé) was okay but he doesn't get lines and his acting consisted of wide eyes and head nods. Honestly, this was a real forehead-slapper. Keitel's "brave knight" is idiotic and it only gets worse when the Brooklyn accent spills forth during his poorly delivered Olde English dialog. I wanted to like Kinski, his ice-cold blue eyes and dazzling smile but the vibe his character gives off is decidedly sinister and therefor hard to connect with. The alien, his "suit of armor" and his ship were gorgeous, they deserved a film worthy of their design, not this goofy meandering crap. Star Knight (aka The Knight of the Dragon) comes off like a cheesy mash-up of Starman, Dune and Black Knight, it combines elegant, unearthly production design with ineffective, bumbling comedy and unlikable characters. What a steamer! I have to admit that I was seriously Gung-ho for this flick because it sounded intriguing and I figured, at the very least, it would be a quality film with Keitel and Kinski involved. And in the 2000s directed Al Sur Granada (2003), El Próximo Oriente (2006), Rivales (2008) and La Banda Picasso (2012). Especially known for directing comedies such as 1987 La Vida Alegre, 1988 Miss Caribe, 1989 Bajarse al Moro, 1993 Rosa Rosae, 1994 Alegre Ma Non Troppo, 1995 Efecto Mariposa. Fernando Colomo was born in Madrid and is a talented and versatile writer/director who has made a vast array of often solid and entertaining films in all kind of genres as comedy, drama and one science fiction movie, this 1985 El caballero del Dragón, in a career that spans over 30 years. The motion picture was middlingly written and directed Fernando Colomo.

Alcaine frequently works with Pedro Almodóvar, Bigas Luna and Vicente Aranda, as he has photographed ¨The skin I live in¨, The bad education¨, ¨Volver¨, ¨Women in the verge of a nervous breakdown¨, among others. Furthermore, a colorful and evocative cinematography by Jose Luis Alcaine who was first cinematographer to use fluorescent tube as "key" lightning and deemed to be one of the best Spanish cameraman. Jose Nieto is a magnificent composer and deemed to be one of the best Spanish musicians. Atmospheric musical score by Jose Nieto, Vicente Aranda's ordinary musician, he composes a stirring soundtrack by means of synthesizer. Very good cast but frankly wasted, it stars two myths of modern cinema, Harvey Keitel and Klaus Kinski, in addition, the great Fernando Rey as an inquisitive priest, but all of them turned into caricatured figures. Adequate production design by Felix Murcia and naive but effective special effects by Reyes Abades, many of them made by old computer generator. The film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable, with more traps the viewer resists any kind, and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few embarrassing. Spanish exploitation of American fantasy, realized by time of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, ET and other films in which extraterrestrial visits and UFOs were common themes and here adding the legend of Saint George, ¨Jorge¨, and the Dragon. This is a Gothic sci-fi tale of power, greed and the universal language of love. It is a slightly funny film with entertaining events, giggles, and a love story between a princess and an extraterrestrial. This ironic Sci-Fi contains lots of humor with tongue-in-cheek, entertainment and amusement, though falls flat for its continuous absurdity and ridiculousness. Worldly boundaries are crossed in this spoofy Sci-Fi. Count of Rue (José Vivó) asks for help his magician alchemist (Klaus Kinski) and the Green Knight (Jose Maria Pou) to find the beautiful princess.

When a dazzling craft illuminates the sky above a medieval European village, the townspeople fear mayhem while the ruling party prepares for battle with the mysterious "dragon in the sky." After Princess Alba (Maria Lamor) is discovered missing, being abducted by an alien aircraft the quest for power and the young girl's affections drive Klever (Harvey Keitel) to free her from the strange cosmic knight, IX ,(Miguel Bose, though Imanol Arias turned down the role). Ironical and dis-mythical fantasy packs acceptable production design, primitive special effects, and evocative as well as colorful cinematography.

@casualtheft​ | starter call!

The natural enemy of mice are cats, and cats are common familiars of witches. By that logic, obviously, Nazrin’s natural enemy has to be the infamous Kirisame Marisa, the most typical witch of them all -- and also because she’s a thief while Nazrin is a treasure hunter, and yes, there is a difference and no, you will not tell her otherwise. She will not be taking questions on this subject.

Really, of all the people from her world to cross paths with here, it had to be the one most likely to rob her, didn’t it? Absolutely typical. If she were getting paid for her work, she’d ask for an immediate raise for just having to deal with Kirisame Marisa alone.

“If you’re planning to frisk me for treasure, I haven’t found a thing here, Marisa,” Nice to see you too, Nazrin. She goes to grasp her pendulum, falters upon remembering she’s just carting around a knock-off, and settles for folding her arms instead. Unimpressed is the name of the game, and Nazrin intends to win.

Still... This is a familiar face -- the only one she’s seen. The only one who might have some answers for her, and the only one who’s even remotely connected to home. 

She can afford to kill some time getting some information from her... Or something like that.

“... Did anyone else arrive with you? Or am I just stuck with you here until we get home?” Absolutely killer and subtle way of saying ‘I’m definitely not leaving even though I’m trying to act like I am’, nailed it.

[lovee-infected]

Hello! Recently I've seen a lot of twst blogs arguing on how twst characters are mischaracterized, especially Malleus. So do you have any ideas on how he is mischaracterized? Also, is it okay to ask for your general opinion on questions like a short character analysis or how a healthy a relationship with each twdt guy might be? Hope it's okay to ask!

For your first question anon, it's a GREAT thing to ask and to be honest I've been waiting for a chance to talk about him! And for your second one, yes, of course! I just love writing character analyis and it's totally okay to ask for character/personality/relationship analysis here! I've got a lot to say about Malleus so this is going to a detailed analysis about his whole personality.

There are commonly two popular opinions on how Malleus is which divides the fandom into two groups:

Group A:

Those who consider him to be an absolutely soft, baby dragon who just wants to be invited and have a friend. They believe that Malleus needs more attention and can be quite affectionate at the time, he can also be sometimes idiotic toward simple stuff like working with a computer or trying to talk with others which makes him even more adorable. "Despite Malleus's harsh and emo appearance and terrifying powers, Malleus is just a small baby inside," is also a common belief of this group.

Group B:

Those who argue that group A is totally shading everything important about Malleus's personality and true self just because he looks cute and plays with a childish tamagotchi. These group also comes up with rather strong points about his personality such as his status as a crown prince, his naturally dark personality as not only a dark fae but also Maleficent's grandchild, his maturity and cold nature and also, the aspect of his hellish powers which can make him look like an absolute monster at the time.

I believe most of you are familiar with these points of view but the question is, which one of them is the real Malleus?

And the answer is: Neither of them; yet both of them do have a point.

The main problem is how the fandom portraits him as either an emotional tamagotchi baby or an absolutely cold and heartless mister of evil, while the true Malleus is far beyond than just being either good, or bad.

Now let's discuss some of the important facts and common mistakes about Malleus's personality:

(1) Malleus isn't a baby, but he isn't a monster either

This is supposedly the main idea here which will be continued to be discussed through the rest of this analysis. This is often how many end up mischaracterizing him because: the way the describe Malleus is either too dark or too childish. What we need here, is a balance. This is the grandson of one of the most important Disney villains that we are talking about, and don't forget that Maleficent herself was confirmed to consume the powers of Hell, as she was indeed the mistress of all evil. So this dragon boy here surely isn't one to underestimate, and he clearly has inherited that hellish power of her grandmother. It's obviously seen through the story as well, from the way he was presented in chapter 2 and beans day event to how terrified other students always are to even talk about him.

But the thing is, there are softer aspects of his personality as well which prove that Malleus isn't just designed to present an undefeatable force of evil, and this is exactly what makes his personality a lot more interesting.

(2) Malleus is actually hard to approach and talk to

Let's be honest, Malleus isn't as soft and easy to befriend as many fans consider him to be. He doesn't get too friendly or chill as he speaks, and even his close allies like Silver and Sebek fail to get close to him as much as they wish to. When we talk about his dark aura, we aren't just talking about his horns and fearsome magic, it's also because of his personality itself. His calm yet cold tone always remains still regardless of who he's talking to. No need to mention that he isn't an ordinary student either, he not only comes from a well-known family but is also the crown-prince of valley of thorns. Out of all twst characters Malleus is the only one who is directly connected to the great seven by being Maleficent's grandson. His family and people on the other hand are overly protective over him, to the point of not letting him to even have a fake proposal in the ghost marriage event which means that Malleus has also got each and every of his actions under watch.

(3) He's slowly getting used to isolating himself

In his ceremonial robes story, he's obviously upset that he never had a chance to wear his ceremonial robes because he never got invited, but when Lilia says he'd one day overcome his ill fate and gets to wear them as he always wanted to, he says that he's fine. Then again when Lilia tried to bring him to the singing test in chapter 5 he avoids showing up. In his voice lines he also said: "Are you as well scared of me?" which is clearly shouting that he's no longer surprised to see people being afraid of him, he's getting used to being feared and at some point, hated. That's probably one of the bitter sides of his personality which he's slowly giving up on trying to change it.

(4) Malleus has got a great confidence and isn't shy at all

There many fanfics in which Malleus is presented as a shy boy who's scared of confessing to his s/o or asking them out, while he's the total opposite in reality. Just like Maleficent herself, he speaks calmly and in a formal tone, is very respectful as he speaks, and isn't one to ever have problem while talking to others.

It's others who always avoid talking to him while Malleus himself isn't the least uncomfortable with presenting his ideas and asking others for help when he needs to.

He isn't ever shy over his lack of ability to work with machines or asking others for help for seemingly childish issues like having his tamagotchi fixed or finding a friend for the GaoGao dragon.

The only thing left is how Lilia described him as "Kind of shy" in chapter five, which is most likely because of another reason discussed in part (3)

(5) He doesn't eat ice cream and play with a tamagotchi for no reason

Malleus explained that everything is ran by magic back in the valley of thorns and no one really uses any machines there, that's how he's pretty new to both technology and complicated tools.

I believe that the tamagotchi part was given to him on purpose, because else than showing the fact that he's bad with tools, it's great contrast to the harsh picture that his power and personality gives him!

Admit it, it's a funny and somehow, adorable contrast to see one of the strongest magicians who can burn the room to ashes in just a matter pf second playing with a children's toy. And I believe that it was given to him on purpose. They meant to give him some soft and cute features as well instead of just presenting him as an evil fae. He is indeed evil and his powers are terrifying, and that's how watching him play with a tamagotchi is rather surprising to many. If you saw Ortho or Cheka playing with one it wouldn't have gone any further than a simple "Awww" or "How cute" because it's something you'd expect to see from a kid, but when you see Malleus of all people playing with it, you can't help but to fascinated and flustered over how cute this fae's habits can be.

Ice cream on the other hand doesn't really have to do with cuteness, it's something Yana Toboso discovered while doing her researches on fae mythology which discuses that Dark faes enjoy cold and sweet foods, especially cream. So it doesn't really have anything to do with him being either a soft or a cruel boy, it's just a normal part of his nature as a fae.

(6) He might be crazily old to humans, but he's still pretty young as a fae

This one has really been getting on my nerves, come on people! It's true that he's probably been living for decades and possibly, centuries but don't forget that it isn't that much compared to a normal fae! Even Sebek calls him 'Young master' which means that he's still a pretty young one, no need to mention that he hasn't yet became the king either so he's not much different from the rest of the students in NRC.

I've seen people saying: "No Malleus won't do that he's -too old-" and I've got to say: What?

Come on even someone like Lilia who's been living for over 5 centuries can act like a nasty 14 year old at the time, so for faes at least, age isn't a limitation.

Malleus on the other hand is still a teenage fae! He needs to discover new things and talk with more people, just like a normal human being does. So if he doesn't enjoy doing anything too silly or stupid, it's because of his 'personality', not because he's too old. Even when tells Lilia that he isn't a child anymore, it's like how an 18 year old says it to his father.

(7) Malleus won't take insult easily

He is polite and respectful in general, but when he's offended, he'd seriously respond to it. Remember that a single swipe of hand from him can set the whole room on fire.

Rook and Leona were probably one step away from being burnt and when Leona really got on Malleus's nerves by humiliating him, Malleus stopped respecting him as a prince of an ally kingdom and humiliated back.

He is calm but to a specific point, and you can make sure that he won't be any soft or forgiving if you offend him, and it'll probably end in no good if he gets mad. So better not think that Malleus is one to just keep it in and later cry in a room because he's sad baby when someone dares insult him.

(8) Angelina Jolie's Maleficent has nothing to do with his story!

Nope, Malleus never had a lover who cut off his wings and sent him to a hell of depression and loneliness, and no you cannot find those two wounds on his back regardless of how romantic it may seem.

I admit it, it's a lovely Au, but it's JUST AN AU! I can still see people saying stuff like "Ohh!! Will we discover if Malleus too had his wings cut off in chapter 7?" and the answer is NO. While Angelina Jolie's Maleficent is surely a great one on its own, it needs be understood that twst's source of main information and characters designs is nothing else than the original Disney villains.

Malleus cannot be associated with any Maleficents else than the version we saw in 1959's sleeping beauty and it's an important fact to look through.

(9) Malleus is NOT Maleficent!

While they are a lot more similar than you can imagine(in both power and personality), let's not forget that Malleus is NOT Maleficent! He's a total new character on his own, and is unique in his own way.

He is twisted from Maleficent which means that no matter how similar they are, Malleus is a new character with a new personality.

Saying that he isn't soft at all and the fandom will see his true face when he overblots ( It's supposed to mean that the real Malleus is an absolutely evil and destructive one, just like Maleficent) is nothing different from denying all of Yana's hard work on designing him and his personality!

Malleus himself said that his grandmother's skills were far greater than his and most importantly: Malleus still has chance to have a better fate than Maleficent did.

Once again: He's still young! He still has a chance to be saved from turning into a heartless and isolated creature like Maleficent. No matter how cold he is, he hasn't yet got to the point of hating the whole world and losing all of his emotions. And that's why it's totally wrong to deny all the good that he might still have inside by saying that he isn't soft at all. He isn't a baby, but he isn't a monster either. Not yet.

(10) Even Lilia agrees that Malleus is still learning and his personality is in development

Can't you see? Malleus isn't attending to this school for no reason. His magic is already top notch, and his knowledge goes far greater than anything they might teach in NRC.

If you take a look at the story, you'll see signs of Lilia indirectly giving us signs of why Malleus still needed to attend to this school. In Malleus's SR robes' story, Lilia told him that he still has a lot to learn and knowledge isn't everything. And what might he find in NRC which has nothing to do with knowledge? People.

Lilia is trying to hold him back from isolating himself like Maleficent did, and is indeed trying to help him make friends and learn to get along with people without thinking that it's useless because they'd fear him anyway.

Also, he clearly wants Malleus to learn and experience new things in NRC by taking part in activities. In Malleus's Halloween SR story Lilia, who was always the one to choose Diasomnia's Halloween costumes, asks Malleus to choose this year's costume instead of him. Lilia first says that he wants Malleus to do it but later tells him that he has other reasons as well, he was trying to put Malleus into trying something new therefore he can have something learn from the experiment! (What a cute papa he really is...)

This is another proof of him not having the cold and unapproachable picture some imagine him to have, he isn't against experiencing and trying new things.

(11) He's still looking for a true friend

Malleus needs a friend, that's a fact. During his chats he mentions how Maleficent always had her loyal pet crow by her side as the only reliable creature she could always trust, and how Malleus wonders if he can ever find such a worthy ally of his own.

Even as he has Lilia, Silver and Sebek by his side he doesn't feel like he has such a friend.

People have been avoiding him through his whole life, and you can see how excited he got when Cater asked him for a selfie as he was one of the very first people who ever tried to approach him.

While he's slowly getting used to being feared by everyone, he'd still appreciate a friend and he needs one. Not even Maleficent herself could've made it all on her own without a friend by her side.

(12) Malleus isn't heartless

While he won't easily fall for anything or anyone, it isn't impossible for him to love.

We haven't yet seen anything that directly gets us to the point of love in the story but it's something you can tell through his actions and words.

When he cares for something or someone, he'd be serious about it.

Two obvious examples would be his tamagotchi and the ramshackle dorm. He'd certainly get out of his way to find someone to fix his dear tamagotchi and as we saw in the Halloween event, he furiously stated that he'd burn anyone who tries to the ramshackle dorm any harm, because he likes that place.

There isn't much he holds dear in life, but when he does, he won't let a single soul to take it away from him.

When he can be this protective over something that just entertains him, just try to imagine how far he might go to protect the one he loves. He falls in love very slowly and it'll probably take him a while to realize it if he actually does. He can begin with small interests and repeated meetings but at some point, it'll turn into a routine, an obsession. He won't easily fall in love, but when he does, he won't be able to easily let go of it either.

(13) His relationship with MC is far more important than you're thinking

Just by going through his voice lines, you can tell how MC is effecting Malleus's personality and life. I'm not saying that it's love or anything but the thing is, MC is changing Malleus nonetheless.

Their relationship has been a totally new thing for Malleus to experience from the very beginning, because MC didn't know him. Malleus is obviously used to being well-known as the infamous prince of the Draconia family by almost everyone, but MC was an exception.

He asked MC to talk to him and tell him stories, it can be clearly see that he enjoys talking to them.

He also mentioned that MC has made him feeling lots of things he hadn't felt before, which can also be connected to part (10) where we discussed how he's still young and needs more of communication and friends because he needs to learn.

Some argue that Malleus couldn't care less about MC and the only reason he shows up around them is because of the ramshackle dorm, which can be easily proven wrong by two hints:

1) Malleus sent a Happy holiday card to MC after the winter holiday.

2)What Malleus told Lilia at the end of the Halloween event stories after all the troubles that was brought upon the ramshackle dorm: "I want that human to enjoy Halloween too"

While it isn't necessarily romance that we're talking about, his relationship with MC is clearly telling us that he's a lot more of emotions and humanity inside him than what we were expecting.

At this point, it's important to see that in spite of his cold nature and mature personality he is slowly beginning to feel more and more emotions as the result of meeting newer people in NRC, especially MC. Saying that he is nothing but a heartless fae who is wrongly thought to be a soft and emotional boy is nothing different from judging him the same way as most of the people in twisted wonderland itself judge Malleus, it's important to see that he's a lot more.

His personality itself is surely amazing and as a Malleus hoe stan myself I can't wait to get more of his background in chapter 7, although it's probably going to be dark as well. They really did give his design a twist and that's how he's a balance of and menacingly powerful magician and a young boy who's just learning to deal with emotions.

For now, that's all I had in mind! Hope that I didn't miss anything. This was a general character analysis which also discussed some of the common mistakes about Malleus's personality but-

In case that you're wondering how he's being mischaracterized in reader insert fics, that'll be a totally different issue to discuss which would also need another post to be discussed through.

Small note: Just saying that there's often a dark lore to twst x reader fics (Especially for Malleus/ Leona x reader) which is usually better to be ignored while reading/writing for them...
