SCREECHiNG

WAKE UP HON WE GOT NEW OFFICIAL ROLLO CONTENT (thanks to curekibouka for the translation!) 😭 (Bless him, he came home so quickly at only 40 rolls…)

***Rollo profile, Groovy, vignettes, and chibi spoilers below the cut!!***

As you can see in the card art shown above, it looks like his official English name will be "Rollo Flamme", not some other variation.

His coffin icon has a bell on it! Very fitting.

Yes, he’s triple fire magic and has a Duo with Grim.

… LMAO his Buddies are Malleus, Idia, and Azul 🤡

He's a third-year student at Noble Bell College, Student Council President, (but we already knew this) and 18 years old

His birthday is Feb 2nd! (There was a mistake in the initial launch of the Rollo card and profile in which his birthday was incorrectly stated as Feb 4th, which is Cater's birthday. Man was so mad when he realized he shared a birthday with a NRC boy so he redid his birth certificate/j)

(Here are screenshots of before and after the change; I happened to take a picture before the update:)

178 cm tall (LMAO I guess he doesn't meet a certain Ghost Bride’s standards)

Right-handed

Comes from the Shaftlands (again, we already knew this)

HE'S IN THE HAND BELL CLUB????? TF... HE JUST STANDS THERE AND RINGS HIS LITTLE HAND BELL????? ? ???? ?? ???

Best subject is Potionology

His hobby is cleaning malewife trait

He obviously hates magic 😂

Favorite food is not, in fact, croissants; it's actually grapes

Least favorite food is savarin, which is a ring-shaped cake soaked in flavored syrup and then garnished with cream and fruit

HIS SPECIAL SKILL IS GARDENING WHICH MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD... considering what he used that skill for... 🤡

His official description in the profile states that Rollo is admired by his classmates for his seriousness and no-nonsense attitude, but he also has a tendency to be… neurotic 💀 gee, ya think

His vignettes are set at NBC, not Night Raven College. They seem to be set prior to the events of Glorious Masquerade.

It's said that the reason he is at NRC now is because he is there temporarily to study.

We see Rollo going about his daily routine. He tends to the Bell of Salvation and the gargoyles early in the morning when the sky is still dark which probably explains the dark eyebags. He’s able to witness the sun rising as he does his cleaning. Rollo finds the dawn peaceful! and loves listening to the bell ring.

OMG the gargoyles are so excited when he pays attention to them 😭 They hop around like excited little puppies… NOT ROLLO WANTING TO GET RID OF THEM

Rollo also has his duties as a regular student. I believe he discusses grades with his vice president. He thinks his classmates are stupid 😂 and finds it ironic that these people look up to him and see him as a top student and a great magician…

Rollo eats his lunches alone because he finds people noisy. Bruh, he has 2 croissants, 16 grapes and 1 cup of cafe au lait (coffee with milk) for lunch every day of the year…

He shops in the City of Flowers and has a routine of buying a plain letter set, only all white paper and envelopes—even if there is a better deal on other sets. If Rollo is one thing (besides angry), he’s consistent and likes to stick to a routine and to things that are certain!

LMAO Rollo hates the City of Flowers because it’s flowers blossom because of magic ✨

Rollo runs into some trouble when a community goat wants to chomp on rhe letter set he bought in town 😂 He’s calm at first but then gets mad because he considers the goat unsanitary and it’s trying to eat his robes…

I want to stress that this boy is suppressing his rage and disgust the entire time 🤡 He’s trying so hard to pass as well-adjusted… Man’s literally going to send this goat flying but stops because he realizes there are too many witnesses…

At the end, Rollo writes a letter to his parents to let them know he is doing fine. Apparently, they’ve been worrying about him ever since “that” incident 😔 The letter reads as very formal and stiff, as though he’s writing to strangers. Maybe he has emotionally distanced himself from his parents (perhaps as a result of “that” incident), although he isn’t outright rude about it.

HIS LITTLE EVIL SMIRK... IT'S EVEN MORE FUNNY WHEN PAIRED WITH HIS VOICE BECAUSE IT'S SO SOFT AND CALM, THE KIND OF VOICE YOU'D NORMALLY HEAR IN LIKE AN ASMR VIDEO 😭

The fact that he writes with a feather quill instead of a magical pen………… ….. ….. … … . .. . … … . . . . .. . … .. . . .

Also the fact that he's by default in his big, bulky uniform with tons of extra material that would make it TERRIBLE for P.E. 💀 and has nothing else to change into... The last screenshot of the group above also looks like Sebek has leaned over to Rollo's ear to spread the GOOD WORD of WAKASAMA and Rollo is trying to do his very best to ignore him...

P.S. I want everyone to know that he does THIS whenever he has a Perfect in Magic History... ROLLO'S LITERALLY A CARTOON VILLAIN PLOTTING REVENGE AGAINST HIS CLASSMATES.... .. . .......... . .. . . . . . . . . . yes, I stuck him in a class with Malleus, Idia, and Azul :))

AND NOW, WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, HIS GROOVY...

WHY DOES iT MAKE ME WANT TO BULLY HIM INTO THE DIRT 😭 jUST Lo0OKK AT HIM, HE'S tryING sO HaRD THAT I T HAS THE OPPOSITE INTEndeD EFFECT AND HE COMES oFF AS A MOREN SKRUNGLY L0SEr INSTEAqd 2reqrbhyygo13ogyt68p9egflbagj;jlg.DIHOBbyOFSYSvtdDOVFEILBcsnkmg2myoeqofadnm,vd..go0i424ph13nifIUSFVsofsgotfFIUOFOVUEWVOQEGYVbiypfpb OTL

Dear father…

—

“Dear, sweet Constance. Poor child! Poor, poor child. Did you know that her mother supposedly killed her father in a fit of rage? Found an axe and took his head off in a single swipe. It’s supposedly still in the house somewhere, just bones and a wandering spirit. Mon dieu! How tragic. How horrible!”

—

I like to think Constance taking the heads of her husbands is a learned habit. It was, after all, what mother did to father when he threatened to leave them.

‘When a man threatens to turn tail, or has eyes for a younger broad, take his head so he’s yours forever. Don’t let that dog run, Constance. Best to put him down swiftly.”

At least…that’s what Dame Peatcleaver used to tell her young daughter when she allowed her to hold father’s beheaded skull, a hatchet still in his head.

Ghost Bride, Formal Wear Flirting → House Wardens × Reader, GN!Reader, insinuation a tuxedo is worn by Reader but Reader can be wearing a dress or other wear as well.

𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 is very pleased by your attire. He doesn't touch your formal attire unless it's messed up or you're unsure how to fasten pieces up. He's very happy to be a part of your team and going in to help the fools inside, and happy you're doing this as a team. "Please, after all this and Cater's repayment, allow me one dance? I do adore your seriousness, compared to a certain complaining Dormmate…" 

𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚 doesn't care about your suit, but does care about your opinion of him after the event. He does growl if you mess with him, and he's not above yanking you by the collar to shut you up. He's angry, yes, but he's not going to ruin your fancy clothes just yet. "Listen, I'm not above ripping your clothes a bit to shut ya up, sweetheart. Actually… keep talking, it'll be a win for me either way." 

𝐀𝐳𝐮𝐥 tried to ignore anything about being rejected for Idia and complemented how nicely you cleaned up. Oh, you're so dashing and you're so daring to come save them from the dastardly ghost army of Eliza's! He does eye up the formal wear and might circle you like a shark in warm water. "Oh, I do enjoy this look you have going… if Sam has any more clothes like this, I might have to pay him a visit for you."

𝐊𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐦 is just happy you're safe and sound, as well as everyone else! Definitely was crying before, on Jamil's shoulder, and definitely cried as he hugged you in greeting. After calming down quite quickly, he does notice your outfit and practically glows as he examines you. He thinks it's cute, but it's missing some gold! "Do you need anything else? I could throw in some jewelry and maybe some nicer shoes!"

𝐕𝐢𝐥 didn't want to hear a yap out of you about his behavior with the Ghosts, even if you understand why he did so. Acting is acting, and yet he was the villain to Eliza in the end (he's a little bitter). So he'll make sure you're okay and brush dirt/soot from your face, cleaning you up gently as he quietly takes you in. He clicks his tongue at you, "Not my favorite attire of yours, dearest… but Sam has an eye for the alluring. And you are alluring." 

𝐈𝐝𝐢𝐚 is so stunned you don't know what to do with him on the floor. Ortho had burned the chains off of him and Idia had simply slid down to the floor like he was made of gelatin. Idia was laying down on his back and just staring up at you and Ortho from his place on the floor, and he blushes as he blows some hair from his face. "The ring of green lights makes you look ghastly handsome… I'm actually a bit doki-doki down here…" 

𝐌𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐮𝐬 is quite satisfied with the outcome. Standing far off from the cleaning up and leaving of upperclassmen, Malleus stops you as you pass by his dark corner. He's smug and pushes the streamers from your arms so he can see your formal wear in full. "Ah, dearest, you're looking ravishing…" He brushes some ash from your shoulder ironically. "And you impressed me tonight; very, very much."

The Ghost Bride by Greg Luzniak

[violetlunette]

If instead of Idia, it was your Yuu who got captured as Eliza's groom, who would come to his rescue (assuming he is unable to save himself)? I can see Lilia volunteering if it means Silver won't be going lol

(referencing this series)

Oh boy, what was Eliza drinking to wanna kidnap Yuu, who looks like a rubber-hose man? (Oh, that reminds me; I need to finish his new look.)

Believe it or not, a lot of people would want to help him, in my canon anyway:

Silver would go no matter what Lilia said. While Silver’s unsure of his feelings, he does know he cares about Yuu. Lilia would go for Silver’s sake (and he does care about Yuu in his own way).

Malleus would want to help his friend but would be convinced to remain behind with Sebek, as a Prince can’t act as he pleases.

Grim, Ace, and Deuce would volunteer right after Silver, along with the Ramshackle ghosts. Yuu may be a madman, but he’s their madman.

Riddle may go to help his underclassmen, and Trey would go for the same reason.

Rook would be inspired by everyone’s devotion and volunteer as well.

Jack and Epel, who are sorta of Yuu’s buddies, would help too.

Kalim would try, but Jamil would force him back.

And finally—to everyone’s surprise—Azul would offer his services along with the Leech twins as they would want Yuu to be indebted to them.

(If the rest went, it would be because someone activated a black hole machine, and they dunno how to turn it off without Yuu.)

When the plan is put into action it almost succeeds as Eliza immediately falls for Silver. However, Yuu messes it up by refusing to let Silver marry her. (Btw, Yuu thought he was planning a wedding this whole time, not getting married. When he realizes this is the case, he politely but firmly rejects Eliza. [He may be interested in the sex out of curiosity, but otherwise...])

A fight breaks out but is stopped by Silver, who appeals to everyone with an impassioned speech that reaches Eliza and the ghosts. She gets together with her guards and leaves the students behind.

Later, Yuu thanks Silver for the rescue. He states that Silver looks wonderful in the suit before inquiring if Silver has an answer to his proposal. Silver—who was asleep during that incident—is confused. Then Lilia appears and states that they should take the opportunity to celebrate. He volunteers to cook, and Silver suddenly has other things on his mind, lol.

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Yo! Good morning/evening, hope you are fine^^💝. I wanted to ask you a question but I was afraid that it may bother you or something (you know..that feeling when you are scared that you might disturb someone or being an unwelcome person) but yeah I will ask you since i was serious about your answer for some time now so I hope I'm not annoying you or something *feel free to answer only if you wish^^. You seem to know the characters pretty well, you are quite capable and great at reading and understanding them, one of the things I'm serious about is what do you think would make someone qualified enough to be with malleus? Do they have to be of the same species?certain Reputation, stature or traits?(sorry can't help it since I can't rest until I know everything about what interests me and figure it all out😅). Thanks for giving me some of your precious time I really like your blog, you're amazing💜

No worries, you’re not bothering me at all ^^ I love to talk about my hyperfixations www

Now, I know a lot of fans (particularly on the EN side) like to ship Malleus with their OC and especially with Yuu so I want to first make it clear that my response is NOT meant to invalidate those Malleus shippers. Whatever I say here is based on my own interpretation of canon lore (and let’s be real here, TWST won’t ever confirm if anyone is romantically interested in Yuu because it might not work with how some players view their own relationship with that character). In fanon, anyone can be with anyone, but in canon there are very specific in-universe rules and expectations laid out for Malleus so these are what I will be referring to.

I also want to emphasize that the final traits I discuss in this post do NOT reflect Malleus’s personal tastes or views. He has little say in what kind of an individual his spouse would be, so his own preferences are not speculated about or taken into account here. The traits I will be bringing up are based on what I believe the lore implies are the desirable traits for those marrying into the Draconia royal family.

We got it? Good 👍 Read more below the cut!!

Firstly, I’m completely disregarding the ideas of “Malleus can love whoever he wants to love”, “Malleus can scare people into accepting who he loves”, and/or “Malleus can change the law so he can marry who he loves” (a la Sultan from Aladdin or through some other Disney magic or logic). Here’s why:

In general, those solutions for “high stakes issues” are too simple, and that has never been how Twisted Wonderland tackles complicated problems. Just look at every single OB boy’s backstory. They’re so complex that they aren’t totally resolved by the end of their books; these problems persist and are long term things each of them are working on addressing. This is also true of the politics TWST introduces to us; Leona for example explains how there is social pushback and resistance to the idea of infrastructure reform because the culture of the Sunset Savanna stresses harmony with nature. This has made it difficult for them to adopt new technologies because real politicians in their world have to seriously weigh their cultural values with their health and societal progress. The only time there are really easy solutions are in events or vignettes where the emotional stakes are not super high, but who Malleus marries is, in fact, super important since this will entirely change the life of a main character and his country.

With that first bullet point in mind… No, Malleus cannot love whoever he wants to love. Certainly, he may feel affection for another but he can never truly be with them. He is royalty and the only heir to the throne of Briar Valley. It follows that he is expected to marry for political reasons/to better his nation. This is a non-negotiable obligation for him.

Rather than saying, “Malleus cannot scare people into accepting who he loves”, I think it’s more accurate to say Malleus knows he probably shouldn’t. I mean, yes, he may be upset about his S/O not being accepted by his people but I feel that is discrediting a lot of the loyalty he has for his own country. As a kid he may have thrown tantrums when he was upset and potentially harmed staff, but as a 178 year old he has a much better understanding of decorum and maintaining it in spite of his own grudges. For example, even though he personally dislikes Leona he still commands Sebek to apologize to him because, at the end of the day, this could harm Briar Valley’s relationship with the Sunset Savanna. That’s not to say that Malleus can’t be petty (he definitely is)—but implying he would be petty toward basically his entire country just because they would disapprove of the one he loves?? (We know this would likely be true because Sebek’s parents faced similar backlash when they got together.) I feel like his own sense of awareness and responsibility for his country, crown, and people would override that. As an example, Malleus states that he has never been in a car before because the senate would be against it and often kept Malleus in the castle. Someone of his power could easily ignore them and sneak out and do whatever he wanted, yet the dialogue implies Malleus didn’t. He obeyed his political advisors even when he was younger and arguably much more immature. Malleus might not like certain decisions made about his life but it sounds like he ultimately complies with them.

Continuing from the previous point, let’s say for the sake of argument that Malleus does scare everyone into line. What about his public image and the mental health of his S/O? Maybe Malleus can frighten people to not talk out of turn to his face, but he cannot control what people whisper about him behind closed doors or to treat his S/O well or like they actually like them. Not only would they be alienated (away from their own home and forced to adapt to a new one) but they’d be treated oddly by others too. What kind of reputation is that for Malleus? To be a tyrant king who throws a hissy fit anytime someone talks about his partner in a way he doesn’t approve of? With a spouse who is not at their best mentally because of the constant ostracization? (This is similar to what Leona experienced in his childhood.) I don’t think Malleus would want to subject anyone to that kind of life, especially not one he loves. And again, this attitude would be the vast majority of his people. It’s not like it can be avoided or resolved in an easy manner, especially when the people of Briar Valley have proven to be against change.

Lastly, Malleus would not change the law so he can be with whoever he wants to. To begin with, I doubt this is a unilateral position the senate would approve of. But okay, let’s accept that Malleus is royalty so his power overrides the advisors’ power. So he effectively just changed a law for a very selfish and personal reason rather than changing something to actually benefit his people. That doesn’t feel in-character for him, not when Malleus seems to understand that it is the duty of those in higher status to help those below them rather than themselves (see: Riddle’s Suitor Suit vignettes. Malleus has acted selfish before, yes (who remembers Endless Halloween Night? His Dorm Uniform vignettes? I do.)—but never at the cost of changing the status quo of his country. (Book 7 is not included here because he’s in a very distressed emotional state then; this “new law” scenario posits that Malleus is in a normal state of mind.) This is a major change—change which Briar Valley, its people, and most importantly, Malleus, are not ready for. You think there wouldn’t be social pushback against this? From a society that has become complacent with its own way of life and is still isolated from the rest of the world? That Malleus, someone who struggles greatly with accepting life changes himself, could enact such a big change so easily? (On a more technical level, you don’t just pass a law and it instantly becomes tangible or real, there is a process of approval and then implementation.)

Additionally, it’s made clear in Ghost Marriage that “[Malleus] cannot enter into an engagement lightly”, which is why Sebek goes in his place. Eliza, the Ghost Bride, is royalty (er, albeit dead) but it seems that royal status is not enough to qualify as his partner. Maybe this is because she’s dead and doesn’t have anything of value for Briar Valley (no land, no people, no political power), but it could also mean that the partner has to be given the thumbs up by other parties.

All that being said, here are some of the conditions I think would have to be met for Malleus’s future spouse:

Has to be someone of equal or at least high status. This means they also have to be a royal or at least of nobility. This appears to be true of Malleus’s dad, who is referred to as a duke.

Because of how self-contained Briar Valley is + nocturnal fae having beef with diurnal fae, I imagine his partner would have to also be a nocturnal fae. This would also solve the MASSIVE lifespan difference between fae and non-fae because at least fae would be far closer to each other even if their lifespans fluctuate but subspecies.

Someone suited to rule by his side. Being married into any royal family is no joke—it comes with the expectation that you will contribute somehow, and the partner should be fully equipped to enter the world of politics with him.

Piggybacking off the last point, I think mental fortitude is also a prerequisite. This is because being a politician (navigating the social climate both within your country and outside of it, keeping your people and colleagues happy, maintaining public approval, managing laws, dealing with potential attempts on your life, etc.) can be very stressful and can hurt those who are faint of heart or not prepared for the responsibility. Leaders have to make tough calls at the drop of a hat, and they have to be ready for it.

Has a lot to offer in terms of benefits to Briar Valley as a country. This could be in terms of resources, connections, and/or political savvy. This appears to be true of Malleus’s dad, who acted as a diplomat for Briar Valley.

Vetting and formal approval from the senate. lmao good luck with that

Has to be able and willing to have a child. They at least need an heir to the throne to succeed Malleus. (However, knowing how exclusionary and conservative as heck the senators are, I doubt they would accept anything but a biological child 💀)

Preferably someone with powerful magic or is skilled at magic already so as to lessen the chance of “tainting” the bloodline with a weak mage or a non-mage.

I believe that Briar Valley would prefer someone with old fashioned values like them, not someone pushing for massive reform. They have a culture that is resistant to change and a history of fighting for resources with outsiders, so if Malleus’s new spouse tries to introduce a bunch of technology or open its borders to other countries (even if they have good intentions), the people + the senate may oppose them. His father is implied to be open-minded, but he at least understood that such change isn’t reasonable without time and effort dedicated to the endeavor.

All that being said 💦 I think that this topic is actually less about what Malleus as an individual wants and what his country, his people, and, yes, even his asshole senators, want. This is basically an arranged marriage situation so that their country can maintain power and relevance. It’s about the collective and what Malleus must do for their perceived security and prosperity.

The Four Brides (Mysfit Manor)

—

In my mind, there are four Haunted Mansion brides, no more and no less.

From right to left: Constance, Emily, Mélanie, and Kimiko.

These four all have different curses afflicting them that result in their being stuck on earth.

- Constance is cursed with greed and wrath and is therefore wildly violent.

- Emily is Earthbound due to unfinished business and a broken heart.

- Mèlanie isn’t technically dead yet, but is trapped in an eternal damnation loop until she is.

- Kimiko is a vampire due to her vanity and lust for eternal youth in life. Therefore can’t die but is a monster for all eternity.

—

This took forever to render and finish but I love all of them. 💀🤍 I would love to do a series of small comics with these called Mysfit Manor about them all being stuck together XD
