#scarabia chapter

[scarabbai]

What would the fight against Kalim's Overblot look like in rr au? And how will Jamil and Kalim's relationship look after Kalim's Overblot?

*looks at date sent and SWEATS*

Okay ngl at this point (since I haven't played the game in a longgggggg time, have lost my au notes, and kinda just havent thought about this au for a while) i KINDA forgor BUT I can tell you what I remember the most from my original plans (they may change... or just not be written at all lol! I got other stuff going on unfortunately)

I don't quite remember the logistics of how they get back into scarabia aside from the octavinelle trio helping jamil and the yuu gang navigate the floodwaters (think something reminiscent of ch3 where the yuu gang had waterbreathing potions and such) and they swim up and up from the portal to the last remaining bit of dry land in the desert (which is likely the highest roof/balcony of the dorm? I kinda never fully knew the scarabia layout)

rr au kalim has always been best represented in my mind as "the genie who desperately wished to become iago" where in his heart of hearts all he ever wanted was to be kind and grant others happiness but to stand by jamil's side forever he turned to more sinister tendencies (this is reflected in his undying support of jamil despite the dorm tyranny and his guard duties but also his internal struggle of helping the struggling students anyway) SO BECAUSE OF THIS i imagine his overblot monster actually does take on most of the characteristics of the good genie but may be all warped with bird features since kalim himself is trapped in this in-between state of "purehearted wishgranter" and "right hand to the sorcerer of sands"

I also like to imagine that even though kalim and jamil had been skirting around their feelings prior to the overblot (and continue to do so after bc WHEW awkward), during the overblot itself kalim ends up expressing his hidden desire to love and protect jamil forever while overblotted and thus may take jamil "hostage" for the fight to have him to himself, keeping him away from the yuu gang (+octavinelle) for most of the fight until they wear him down enough and jamil can either talk him down or Snake Whisper him into submission to stop the overblot and make sure kalim doesnt injure himself beyond saving with his magic consumption and mental turmoil (there was also the background fear that since i hc the scarabia dorm/all dorms exist in a "pocket dimension" of sorts, eventually it would reach capacity and kalim would drown himself from all the rainwater he produces, which was why time was of the essence even though kalim's UM doesnt consume much magic comparatively)

after the overblot (when kalim falls unconscious) jamil gets overwhelmed with emotion at the thought of losing kalim and kisses him briefly, which jamil REFUSES to address afterward despite the yuu gang literally losing their MINDS over how stupid jamil is being but no siree hes not about to address that bc then hed have to admit he kissed kalim and that he liked him this whole time and how terrified he was- jamil does NOT wanna deal w all those emotions yet he needs to sort himself out and get over his superiority complex first AND resolve the whole master/servant power imbalance they got goin on yanno

Speaking of which, kalim and jamil do end up spending much more time apart so that they can learn to be more independent... they have a LOT of codependency going on where kalim feels like hes useless if he isnt able to serve jamil while jamil trusts absolutely nobody and is way too paranoid about everything to the point of basically not letting anyone into his life aside from kalim so they do need to separate for a bit to be healthier, both for themselves and each other. Since rr kalim, unlike canon jamil, kinda doesnt mind acting as a servant all that much (which has to do with a whole lot of childhood indoctrination and such we do NOT have the time to talk about here lol), I imagine rr jamil takes matters into his own hands (to his chagrin, bc ideally he wants kalim to be able to recognize his own personhood and stand up for himself bc he loves him dearly) and dismisses kalim from his duties for the time they spend apart so that kalim can heal and jamil can work out his trust issues properly

And thus, the genie is free...

the girls are fighting!!!!!

[doodlesooup]

or maybe he doesn't deserve to wake up

[theworstfangirl]

Okay but Kalim going "I hate that you're so two faced and manipulative" to Jamil, finally admitting his negative emotions, but also saying to dream!Jamil that that's the guy he wants to be friends with, not him, is just peak character development. Before he was blind to the reality of who Jamil actually is and brushed everything off, but now?

The nice, friendly Jamil - the one that's convenient for him - isn't the one Kalim wants around. No, he wants to befriend the real Jamil Viper - the two-faced, cunning guy who betrayed him. He genuinely wants to improve their relationship and see Jamil for who he is as a person instead of projecting what he desires onto him and ignoring the reality that they are master and servant.

Kalim truly cares for and wants to be friends with the real Jamil, flaws and all.

So that new Twisted Wonderland update huh

(Spoilers for chapter 7 Scarabia stuff under the cut)

[ctrlseacat]

quick scribble of their reunion in book 6 .... i care them  

[oddberryshortcake]

This is ACTUALLY INSANE

[sophisticatedaiphos]

So.. about Jamil's dream..

(spoilers for chapter 7 scarabia stuff under the cut!!)

Everyone's been talking about how much it would hurt to be punched by Kalim with his bangles and jewelry on, but can we talk about the SOUND? like im just realizing that their fight during book 7 probably sounded an awful lot like this 💀:

"YOU A**HOLE, I HATE HOW TWO FACED YOU ARE!!"

*jingle jingle* 

"YOU JUST REALIZED IT NOW HUH, YOU INSENSITIVE B*STARD?!!"

*jingle jingle jingle*

"DONT WORRY ABOUT THAT YOU SARCASTIC IDIOT!!"

*the sound of jingling intensifying*

I get between the shouting and all, you wouldn't be able to hear it all that well, but I would be trying so hard not to laugh if I heard the the equivalent of "keys! keys!! *aggressive keychain shaking*" play out while i watched somebody deck their best friend in the face 😭

AND THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

To be honest I wish we got special cards for all the other chapters. I know Chapter Seven is super important and special and that but can you imagine the possibilities???

[roxanaagriche111]

I have to wonder, but I don’t think the game is over after we defeat Malleus. Many suspect us as Yuu will be the next overblot which I do not doubt. But what if it’s either the dark mirror or Crowley himself?

For example, Crowley never tried to stop the overblots meaning he must have some bad motive behind it. Not to mention the dark mirror?

Take a look at this

The dark mirror has Maleficent’s insignia in between his eyes as you can see the horns.

What if the dark mirror is Malleona’s soul trapped inside the mirror like others are suspecting? Since Malleona is the descendant of evil aka Maleficent. It’s possibly that Crowley does remember Malleona but is playing the dumb bird that he is. What if Crowley plans to resurrect Malleona and that he is the next to overblot when we stop him! Crowley might also be using those who overblot as a human sacrifice. Human sacrifice are known to resurrect the dead in many horror films. So it’s possibly Crowley intentionally made the 7 to overblot to resurrect Malleona. In the first overblot, he didnt really look like wanted to save Riddle the first time.

If he is trying to sacrifice people, then that means he would even kill his own son if he is related to Malleus. Remember when Idia mentioned in chapter6 that he wondered if someone is intentionally making these overblot happening?

Malleona may have known of his plan. Therefore created Grim as Grim wanted to get inside the college but never knew why! Remember, Grim is an unknown monster species. Most likely he was created by magic! Plus if she is the dark mirror? She must’ve brought Yuu to stop Crowley’s plan all together with Grim. To her, Yuu is the key to stop the overblots and to get Grim to destroy Crowley’s plan.

Since Yuu was the one who took Grim in. This further makes Malleona’s plan to stop Crowley. Malleona most likely doesn’t want to be resurrected as to reason why she brought Yuu and Grim.

If what I’m thinking is correct? Crowley is a dead man!

currently in playing book 4 and im already SICK of being gaslit by jamil 🙄😒

[theworstfangirl]

I am vibrating in anticipation because if we're going down the order of overblot, THAT MEANS SCARABIA'S NEXT! We're finally going to be addressing Jamil and Kalim's problems again! Oh, I can't wait to see what their dreams will be!

Also, playable Jamil overblot.

[bluepurpz-j]

so before we all get brain rot from the next part in chapter 7...

how did your twst oc handle the aftermath of the scarabia duo's fight?? did gizelle reacted like silver or in another way??

Gizelle was like the others, she'd just let Kalim and Jamil have their little fist fight and wait until they've sorted things out. One thing she did though was give them kisses on both their bruise-filled faces :33 ((more so than usual because she missed them))
