I was cleaning through some papers and found nearly finished panels of a comic I was working on many months ago back when I drew primarily with traditional ink ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I’d like to finish this one day…

[prince-kallisto]

Anyway what if I got emotional over the bat, flowers, and poison apple print on Pomefiore’s vampire costume in comparison to the raven, flowers, and red apple on Crowley’s vacation shirt.

You know…with Rook’s new SSR card depicting him in his first year uniform, I wonder…it’s very likely that this card may be from Rook or Vil’s dream lol 😭 But I also wonder about the slim possibility about this being from Leona’s dream.

Not that I’m saying this is Leona’s ideal world or anything 🤣🤣 But Leona has had a theme of being “aware” when he’s dreaming or sleeping, which he showed a bit during Book 6 against the Lachesis System. Because so far we have Silver, Sebek, Yuu, Grim, Ortho, and Idia united and aware of Malleus controlling the dreams. The idea of them wanting to get more allies throughout the dreams make sense (although maybe not everyone?), but it feels very…Leona to hijack the dreams somehow because of how *aware* he is- knowing all of this is a dream orchestrated by Malleus. Idia hints at Leona “ALWAYS knowing he’s dreaming.”

Why Savanaclaw Rook would be there in Leona’s dream I’m not sure (his ideal world was getting Rook out of Savanaclaw najxds /j)- but just a random thought by me. I feel like the dream sequences would be the perfect time to bring back Leona, whose has been standing out in a unique way for quite some time now in official art or art gallery stuff- which may imply a vital role from him in the end game👀

How cruel of the situation

When I just planned stacking up items for pulls, Tsumsted would come right away

Well, there goes all my keys and gems on Malleus

💔Honestly! I can’t believe how packed this upcoming month is- May is not being very kind to us with all the gorgeous SSRs 🤣

Seeing all these tsums, I thought of you Twi! They’re so cute ahhh 😭 Malleus looks so handsome and powerful in his card- I’m glad he received another SSR. Sending all my luck to you for summoning him (￣^￣)ゞ 🍀🍀🍀

Silver’s Fairy Godfather 🐦‍⬛

I’d like to imagine Silver and Crowley having an Aurora and Maleficent-Diaval dynamic- one that is complicated yet full of care simultaneously 🌸💖

This was all inspired by Silver’s Alchemy Special Lesson line where he says “I feel better when the Headmage is here” 😭😭😭😭 that’s all it took BAHXJSJ!!! But why? Why does Silver feel better when the Headmage is there, when everyone else feel tense, anxious, annoyed, or even scared? 👀 This was a question I sought to answer for myself- as in what if Crowley was his “fairy godfather,” like the way Maleficent was to Aurora in the live action film.

I feel like some stuff is up to interpretation- as this is from (mostly) Silver’s POV. But I hope the general concept of this wasn’t too confusing to follow (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) I wanted to try having the story follow Silver’s POV, age, and thoughts through the style of drawings- except for certain pages that’s meant to be drawn from Crowley’s POV (о´∀`о) I hope it wasn’t too disorienting!

There were many, many others scenes of them I wanted to draw but couldn’t fit -v- so I suppose I have inspiration for mini comics/sketches in the future to elaborate further on them! Thank you for reading 🌸💖🐦‍⬛

MASTERCHEF GRIM in the Crowley-coded room FOR THE 4TH ANNIVERSARY!!! THE 4 CANDLES IN HIS CAKE 🥺🥺🥺🥺 The green fire?? 👀Considering it’s Grim, I wonder if he actually put tuna in the cake lol…

[prince-kallisto]

SOBBING AUGH

[prince-kallisto]

The look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam ･:*+.\(( °ω° ))/.:+

I was working on this comic the day before Crowley’s card suddenly dropped haha! 🤣 It was originally supposed to end where Crowley picked Silver up, but then I wanted to add more just because of the card…

This is a reference to the Maleficent live-action scene, where Maleficent picks up baby Aurora. Baby Silver progressively gets tinier the more I drew him 🤣 He doesn’t tolerate the Angst which is understandable!! This entire comic was inspired by Silver’s special lesson voiceline where he says he feels more comfortable when Crowley is around. I thought this line was interesting, since all the characters express their anxiety or dislike of Crowley in Special Lesson mode. Imagine baby Silver he was the only one to get a Crowley face reveal lol?? \(//∇//)\

Happy Valentines Day! ╰(*´︶`*)╯♡

AUGHHH I FINALLY FINISHED MY COMIC 😭😭😭😭😭 ibis paint says I spent 29 hours on it what??? Sob sob, this had a rather short deadline/work period, so I’m not completely happy with some panels, but I hope the story itself makes sense! ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Edit: FJFJSJDJF TYSM TO EVERYONES KIND WORDS AHHHH!! 😭🫶🫶🫶💖💖💖💖 NVM IM COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH HIW THIS COMIC TURNED OUT

A huge thank you to @masquerade-of-misery for the inspiration for this story! I know it deviated quite a bit from your original idea, but it made me wonder what Crowley would see in his dream in Book 7, in regards to the Crowley-Levan theory. Thank you so much! 💖💖💖💖🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

I hope everyone has a good Valentine’s Day as possible, and I’m wishing you all the best of luck and sending all my love 🫶🫶🫶💖💖💖 thanks for reading my comic!

POV you are Yuu trying to find a way back home through the mirror but Crowley disapproves of you staying up so late

Tw for flashing lights later in video!

JP THEORISTS ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL OMG-

The Dark Mirror’s Overblot markings always had me feeling suspicious because of the little horns, but the Diamond shapes are??? The exact same as Meleanor’s crown???? WHAT.

I JOKED BEFORE THAT MELEANOR’S SOUL WAS TRAPPED IN THE MIRROR ALL THE WAY BACK IN JULY AND THAT SHE WAS THE “FLOWER OF EVIL” CROWLEY WORSHIPPED BUT NOW I AM AFRAID.

I highly, HIGHLY recommend rewatching the opening prologue just for the way Crowley speaks. His voice literally shows off how much he revers his flower of evil. But notice how addresses his “flower of evil” who is the “fairest one of all,” AND the magic mirror. It’s like there’s two separate entities inside. And perhaps the hand in the prologue isn’t his, but it is Meleanor’s ungloved hand.

We never actually did see the moment of Meleanor’s death…it makes me wonder that if near/at the time of her death, someone else was there to capture her soul, or at least manipulate her magic somehow. The Dark Mirror definitely is just the spirit trapped inside the Magic Mirror from Snow White, so I wonder if the markings on his mask is a sign that someone else is trapped deeper inside the mirror…and only Crowley can call out to the second soul inside.

Although he can only see small reflections of her, she is still “alive” in the mirror, and the only way for Meleanor to have a “physical” form is through blot, just like Ortho’s soul in Book 6. It’s likely why Crowley knows so much about blot and has a very close connection with STYX in there first place- through the Watchmen, he learned how blot can create a vessel for a soul. And Crowley managed to find 7 souls that resemble the Great Seven so much, and their blot is so powerful. Ortho became a mass of the entire Underworld, but perhaps Crowley only needs 7 powerful souls with Phantoms of the Great 7. So perhaps Crowley isn’t trying to revive THE Great Seven, but he does need the Phantom’s sheer power for Meleanor to have a strong enough form.

Crowley please explain yourself I’m too tired to even yell at you rn 😭🐦‍⬛

[prince-kallisto]

I wholeheartedly believe that Crowley deserves a little treat \(//∇//)\ This is based off this post where we found out that there may be implications that Crowley wanted to cook and eat Grim lol

⚠️ No Grims were harmed in the making of this drawing!⚠️ Only Crowley, who received a scratch on his face…I wonder why??? 🥲

[prince-kallisto]

Welcome to Playful Land, where family fun and interactivity go beyond anything you've seen at those *other* amusement parks! With cutting-edge animatronic entertainers that will knock your kids' socks off, as well as customized pizza catering, no party is complete without Ortho Shroud and the gang!

Playful Land part 2??? (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) Perhaps in a “Playful Land IF,” Fellow actually succeeds keeping all the original Playful Land cast into puppets, so the others are on a quest to get them back? 😭🧍

I had a lot of fun trying to figure out the effects for this video (*´∀｀*) Especially Ortho’s little chibi thing- I felt a bit inspired by the 8-bit Circus Baby animations and also Helpy’s simplistic movements as well

I feel like a Twisted Wonderland FNAF AU would make a lot of things really different 🤣 like the “sister location” actually being its own separate thing as Playful Land so Fellow can be a part of that axbdjsbejxjw. But I know that would change a huge significant amount of lore, so…to be honest I didn’t give much thought to this AU, I just wanted to make something silly 🤣🤣 I think this was less of an AU and more like just using the audio as a fun reference 🤣

Now hiring: Late night technician. Must enjoy cramped spaces and be comfortable around active machinery. Not responsible for death or dismemberment.

Update: Late night technician hired. Eggs Benedict. Eighteen years old. Exceptionally skilled in animatronic maintenance. Note: After testing with Ortho’s interactive AI audio system, the hire also responds to the name “Idia”

Analysis of Crowley and Malleus’ Voice: “I heard Levan’s voice”

When OB! Malleus broke into Lilia’s dream, the very first thing that Lilia says is that he has Levan’s voice, but looks like Meleanor. General Lilia was not one to mince words; and considering how close of a companion he was to Levan, we can take this as a fact that Malleus sounds like Levan. Plus, it was just his immediate first reaction without hesitation (*⁰▿⁰*)

So being the silly Crowley/Levan truther that I am haha, I compiled several clips of OB! \(//∇//)\Malleus and Crowley speaking. I think a lot of people miss just how fluid Crowley’s voice is. Miyamoto Mitsuru (Crowley’s voice actor) depicts a large range for Crowley, from high-pitched and whiny, to deep and ominous. Crowley hardly ever speaks in his deep tone- with these clips that I gathered being majority of the rare occasions that he does. This deep tone is different from the stern one he uses in serious situations (e.g when he got taken away from STYX) or scolding the students. So it feels purposefully special.

And since Crowley speaks in this rare deep tone when speaking to the mirror in the prologue, I assume that it’s closer to his natural voice, as he is not putting up any performances for anyone. He notably speaks in this deep voice when talking about mirrors. The Culinary Crucible one was more of a bonus, as he is being purposefully dramatic, but I put it in to show that Crowley can comfortably speak in the this deeper tone.

Levan is currently a wildcard. Levan could just be a new character! However, I feel like Crowley’s deep tone is the closest voice to Malleus so far, and I am intrigued if this is indeed purposeful 👀🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛ Since Levan was described as “kind” once again (using the same exact word that Crowley constantly uses to describe himself in Japanese), I feel like almost every hint we get about Levan is…something to keep in mind ＼＼\\٩( 'ω' )و //／／

[prince-kallisto]

…What is Vil wearing on his hands in his new card?? (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*) The pose and outfit is a beautiful homage to the Evil Queen, but the red gem necklace and the golden claws(??) is so reminiscent of his Overblot form.

[prince-kallisto]

How Crowley sets up the Overblots in every book

This is a concept I’ve mentioned off-handedly in several of my theories, but I’ve always wanted to elaborate of what I mean. I believe Crowley is behind the Overblots- and he has potentially tampered with the Overblotters magestones as well. Because no matter how powerful Crowley may be, I don’t think he has the power to affect the backstories of an Overblotter.

However, what a lot of people miss is how he SETS UP the perfect conflict and conditions for an Overblot.

In Book 1, Crowley appears out of nowhere in the library to suggest the magic duel to Ace and Deuce. Without the duel, Riddle wouldn’t have had his position of power questioned in the first place, as he gets set off by his own dorm throwing eggs at him and Ace calling him out for being a “baby.” Book 1 is also where we get a taste of just how little Crowley involves himself with personal conflicts of the students- he could’ve easily outlawed the usage of Riddle’s collars if he so pleased.

I believe Book 1 is highly significant because it’s one of the only two Overblots Crowley is present in (the other being Malleus’). In both the game and the novel, Crowley doesn’t do anything to stop the Overblot, even though I’m sure he’s capable of doing it. I think in the grand scheme of things, it’s very important that Crowley is present in the first student Overblot (Riddle) in the game and the last student Overblot of the game (Malleus). It’s as if he’s purposefully watching the set up of his plans and how the last piece puts it all together.

Book 2 has Crowley doing a similar thing: He fuels Leona’s jealousy and pride by suggesting that Malleus should be in the Hall of Fame. The entirety of Leona’s plans in Book 2 revolves around taking down Diasomnia- or specifically, Malleus. And isn’t it interesting how his entire plan revolves around something that CROWLEY mentioned? Although I do think Leona would’ve done something foolish regardless, something sparked within him at Malleus getting the special treatment. This, and Crowley enlists the help of Yuu and Grim on investigating who is behind the accidents at NRC.

In Book 3, we see Crowley beginning to employ a new strategy: of doing nothing. Haha, it doesn’t sound like him setting up plans, does it? But ancient war strategies valued “doing nothing” when necessary for a reason. Azul’s schemes were something Crowley could’ve easily prevented, but instead, he made a contract with Azul that ensured the survival of Mostro Lounge AND forced the students to take action themselves. Crowley mentioned to Jack and Yuu that he made an arrangement with Azul on releasing all the students from last year by letting Azul continue running the Lounge. But that’s exactly why he asked Jack and Yuu to put a stop to it this year: Crowley knew if he tried to make another deal with Azul, Azul would likely ask for something more- like information or potentially even an ability, neither of which Crowley could risk happening.

Book 4 is a continuation of this strategy, but it’s a lot more sly and dangerous than people think. He left Yuu and Grim almost completely isolated, with no choice but to go to Scarabia. He basically left them in a lions den! It didn’t help that he never answered the phone when Yuu needed help. And Scarabia being so isolated during winter break was the perfect time for Jamil to initiate his plans. However, it goes further back than that.

Jamil would’ve been a likely candidate for Housewarden, if it weren’t for Crowley enlisting Kalim instead for money and connections. I find it interesting that Crowley uses the same type of language that Jamil despises: “you’re a clever student. Surely you understand what that means.” And this is a post for the future, but ever since then, Jamil has been trying to dig up information about Crowley, possibly to blackmail him into making him the housewarden instead. When he “hypnotized” Azul, the first thing he asked was if Azul had information on Dire Crowley. Hmm…

Book 5 is an interesting and subtler case. VDC conveniently has both Vil Schoenheit and Neige LeBlanche, but I doubt Crowley had anything to do with Neige… *eyes his vacation outfit with a crow and an apple*

…ANYWAY, what Crowley was directly involved in was putting the dance group into Ramshackle Dorm together. Basically a drama in the making haha, with tensions rising amongst the group. But I don’t think this was his main plan at all! After all, Vil’s Overblot had very little to do with the drama with him vs Epel. It took Vil to nearly murder Neige to succumb to his frustrations and guilt. What I do think is interesting how several people, including Rook and Malleus mentions that the barrier in the Coliseum was so strong that NO ONE outside would’ve been able to help. Overblotted!Vil could’ve killed the entire group and help was never coming in the first place.

Isn’t that suspicious? Rook claims this barrier is for exams, but why is it THAT powerful that it can hold against an OVERBLOT, where magic is casted without qualms? Especially when considering that Vil is an incredibly powerful mage? Hmm. Although I will admit that the set-up is questionable, I think Crowley had something to do with the barrier. After all, in the manga, he casts a barrier that’s able to withstand Overblot Riddle’s attacks.

Book 6 is another tough one, just because Crowley has little to no involvement in the book…or so it seems. My theory gets even more wobbly here, but Crowley had to be doing something behind the scenes. He was taken away by STYX FOR WEEKS. Called before parliament, and came back without a single punishment. And isn’t that strange just how long he was gone? Furthermore, he knows about STYXs operations and how the Shroud family/Idia runs it, information that not even Trein knew. Additionally, he knew STYX would be coming to attack the school, and surrendered without a question. Although his involvement in the book is little, I think he did a lot of set up and arrangements with STYX behind the scenes, which may have included accepting Idia to NRC in the first place. Book 6 is also the first time we hear about the theory that *someone else* is behind the Overblots.

Book 7 gets even stranger with Lilia’s sudden loss of magic and dropping out. He says he can no longer cast a simple spell…but I don’t think it’s possible for a Fae to lose *all* their magic in such a short span of time naturally. Additionally, isn’t it strange that he wants to go to the Land of the Red Dragons when Levan’s title implies both a Chinese and dragon relation? Why now, after more than 500 years? We still don’t know, but it’s incredibly fishy. This, and we have the possibility of MC returning home.

Isn’t it funny that the two people Malleus loves the most are threatening to leave him at the same exact time? Malleus is an incredibly fragile boy on the inside- and for all this to happen at once with NO explanation? Of course he wouldn’t take it well. Crowley is also the one to let Lilia know that the carriage is coming to pick him up- but this is strange. Have we ever heard before of an NRC carriage raking someone outside of the ceremony days? Was the carriage going to transport Lilia all the way to the Land of the Red Dragons? Does it mean Crowley knows why Lilia’s going, or is he the reason why Lilia’s leaving in such a rush?!?

Anyway. Again, Crowley is present at Malleus’s Overblot, something that’s only happened once before with Riddle. I’d like to point out that compared to Riddle, where he was quick to evacuate the students, he permitted the ATTACK against Malleus. Hm??? Did he know that there was no chance of escape?

I’d like to know what he’s dreaming about when Malleus cast the spell on him too… but I think everything I mentioned is incredibly suspicious. It’s a bit sad that Crowley’s main “attack” takes the form of isolation. Riddle is alone when the others call him out, Yuu and Grim are isolated in Scarabia, Malleus finds the people he loves are suddenly being taken away from him…

Maybe I’m just being angsty haha, but I wonder if Crowley weaponizes isolation because he knows first hand at just how harmful the loneliness is.
