Styx, Fae, and Malleus—Oh my!

Okay I'm writing this more as a marker for myself because I keep breaking my brain with connecting C6 to C7, but I've included my notes down below to kind of trail through how things might go with the next C7 update. Since the Shroud brothers are back in business, we'll be seeing a lot more of Styx's hand too, so I also wanted to collect as much information (canon) as I can on them too. Because I just think they're neat, and combining all the information makes them that much neater!

Warning for a long-ish post.

All About Styx (Up to C7, April 2024)

Styx, originally serving as just the Watchman before the Age of Gods (which Malleus discusses in C6 part 18),

is an independently operating institution (non-government affiliated) that specifically focuses on research pertaining to blot. According to the welcome video narrated by Idia’s mother and father, Styx covers the following:

Safe use of technomantic technology

Magical power analysis

Preservation of ruins and mage stones

Blot emission reduction

Post OB treatment

Magical disaster prediction systems

Maintaining phantom databases

Styx operates off of the Isle of Woe, an area mostly inaccessible to outsiders due to its status as being below the ocean and only accessible via the Oceanus Gate. Styx is seemingly composed of multiple units and teams, including the Hex Team, with most of the employees living in the residential block of Oceanus and using chariots (technomantic vehicles) to get to the tower. Another unit that Styx controls are the Charon members. These appear to be the equivalent of armed forces under Styx’s command. They specifically act as retrievers of over blotted mages, or more specifically the phantoms involved in the overblot. Magic Marshals and the Arcane Response Unit often handle overblot cases, but in extreme incidents, Charon members step in.

It’s mentioned that they also arrive regardless of if they have authorization from the government of the location the overblot is occurring. 

Regarding the technomantic equipment mentioned, this is what Styx seems to mainly use for all operations, likely due to the nature of its research. Technomantic technology has an ability to almost entirely nullify magic. Although not 100% effective, it was enough to even make Rooks UM limited, forcing him to only track the kidnapped students when there were second breaks in the tech. This tech was also used on the overblot students, with Riddle stating that it’s equivalent to his UM (C6 part 26). 

The tower that Styx operates out of is a large structure located in the centre of the ancient city that was originally attached to the Kingdom of Heroes. Within this tower, Styx keeps phantoms preserved frozen in the lower layers. This area is referred to as Tartarus and hosts approximately 10,000 subjects split into 12 levels. A-class are considered exceedingly dangerous phantoms, according to Ortho. Sector 12 is where the original Phantoms are housed, known as the ‘Titans’. These are three phantoms that have been sealed in Tartarus by the original Jupiter family members since the Age of Gods. 

The system designed to preserve these phantoms is known as the Cerberus System. This encapsulates the entire Isle, not just Styx. According to Idia, mages are taken and housed for testing in this region before being wiped by Lethe, another system operated by Styx that re-wires memories and implants false ones. Interestingly, Lethe works differently on fae than humans due to fae’s long lifespans. Idia states that it’s hard to adjust what information to remove and rewrite without making it obvious that there was an erasure. He does mention Malleus by name when discussing this, but not Lilia. 

All About The Fae in Briar Valley (Up to April 2024, JP Spoilers)

Fae appear to live broadly across Twisted Wonderland, but a large majority do reside in Briar Valley (other additions such as Fairyland/Land of Fairy have been mentioned and seem to host diurnal fae. More of this can be found in the fairy gala events. Diurnal fae are considered to herald the coming of spring with this gala, which ties in with later discussions about fae and nature). Various species were also noted to exist, including:

Dragon fae (note: Dragons are mentioned to have arrived for Meleanor during her youth, however after her passing a decade later it appears that Dragons have either gone underground or extinct across the broader Twisted Wonderland area)

Raven fae

Bat fae

Crocodile fae

Subcategories of crafter fae and the likes exist too, but don’t quite count as species 

There appears to be a hierarchy of value among fae. In one conversation by a Senate member (in Chapter 7, release 6), Lilia is referred to in derogatory terms due to his status as a bat fae. It is unknown if this bias is strictly the Senate member, Briar Valley, or if it spreads across broader fae populations. Fae also appear to have monarchies, although the only two known so far are the Queen of Fairyland and the Draconia Family. Fae also appear to age at different rates (Malleus states infant fae often take 30 years to walk, and it took him 20 years alone to gain his 2-legged form). 

Due to Briar Valley being the major focus of C7, we’ll look at fae in this region specifically. 

For context, constant conflict has arisen between fae and humans, specifically within Briar Valley. A major conflict and large plot point in C7 so far is the conflict between Briar Nation (former name of Briar Valley) and the Silver owls. The Silver Owls, run by Henrik, carried out mining operations throughout Briar Nation without permission from the royal family. Despite the name Silver Owls, it should be noted that they are also called Iron Ones due to their iron weapons and armor. According to Briar Nation soldiers, Silver Owls recklessly endangered fae by driving wildlife into villages in addition to colonizing the region. The Silver Owls (Henrik in particular) are aiming to attain Princess Glow. Henrik stated that he wanted it for his father (unlikely, lbr). Princess Glow appeared to be a gem associated with the Draconia Family that was capable of performing miracles like healing incurable ailments. It’s unknown if this is factual or not, but Meleanor does appear to put value on the gem when discussing it with Lilia. 

Conflict with the Silver Owls extended across several regions in Briar Nation, including:

Verdant Moors (outside the present day borders—confirmed by Sebek in C7)

Canyon of Howling Winds (also called Valley of Howling winds in some translations)

Mystical Mountain/Forbidden Mountain

Thunderclap Mountains

Cape Sunrise 

Tenebrae Forest/Dark Night Forest

Crimson plain

Dragon’s Tail Mountains 

Wild Rose Palace 

Black Scale Palace 

Dragon Capital City (surrounding Black Scale Palace)

Cradle Tower

Note: present day Briar Valley is situated farther up north and is said to have a cold climate for the most part, including particularly harsh winters (confirmed by Silver in release 4 of C7). Double note: Names may be susceptible to change with EN release. 

The conflict ended with Meleanor and Levan (Malleus’ parents) allegedly dead. Fae ceased intermingling with humans likely after this conflict according to Lilia in C6 part 18, leaving to heavy deficits in the validity of history surrounding the fae. This also means that a lot of human history books miss history that fae may have personally experienced or have to share (as spoken by Trein and Lilia). 

In terms of powers, fae in Twisted Wonderland seem to rely on nature a great deal for their magical abilities. Idia’s father discusses the extent of what some fae can do due to their connection with ancient magic, including mentioning how fae have had control over climate change and diastrophism since the Age of Myths (presumably predating the Age of Gods). Malleus’ ability to alter the world in a designated area falls under this category. He is stated to have magic tied to the earth itself. Idia’s mother also mentions that fae can also draw magical energy from nature itself, building on Idia’s fathers statement about how fae’s magic directly connects to the earth. Generally, fae with elemental connections can do this, which proposes the idea that Malleus has such an ability. 

It also appears that fae can lend this magic to humans. The Knight of Dawn frequently calls upon the blessings of diurnal fae to aid him in his fights throughout C7 (note: he says 'fairy guardians', so this could be just this specific instance). 

So… what’s up with chapter 7, as of April 2024? (JP Spoilers)

Well… Malleus over blotted. Inconvenient, absolutely. Fortunately, his grandmother snitched and gave all of his information over to Styx, allowing them to formulate somewhat of a plan to use.

We know specifically that the Arcane Response Unit is unable to get access to Malleus through the thorns because, should the thorn wall be penetrated or collapse, it will kill whoever is caught inside of it. At the moment, ARU is likely on the borders of Malleus’ thorn wall while Ortho (acting as a stand-in Charon member, in this case) deals with the issue. Anyone who gets too close to the thorns (fae or human) are also being sucked into the barrier. 

Silver, Sebek, Yuu and Grim are currently travelling through various dreams. This allowed some insight on fae (see Fae in Briar Valley for more) as well as the abilities that they possess. Ortho has pulled the group into Idia’s dream, stating that Malleus is using all resources to keep Lilia asleep. Ortho was able to penetrate into the barrier using a counter-spell barrier and ethereal slicers, in addition to a magical cannon honed by Styx. 

We also know it’s confirmed that Malleus needs to either voluntarily end his spell or die in order to actually cause the barriers to drop. 

What might happen, then? (JP Spoilers)

Who knows! Yana likes to keep us on our toes. That being said, one of the biggest takeaways that came from this is the technology (technomantic) that Styx has access to, as well as what fae seem to rely on to continually use their magic. Styx’s access to technology that can almost entirely nullify magic in combination with their isolation from ‘nature’ (based on the brutalism architecture their facility had) could be two avenues of mitigating Malleus enough to at least let the students get an upper hand. 

However, Styx also did confirm that their technomantic equipment was not having as good of an effect on Malleus’ barrier as they anticipated. If technomantic equipment were to be used on Malleus, it would need to be something advanced, like Ortho’s Cerberus gear, but on a larger scale. Ortho has already shown that Malleus’ magic is ineffective when faced with the type of tech that Ortho is equipped with, positing the idea that this can be an avenue to take. In the battle with Ortho, Malleus does appear to freeze up and misses a hit. 

The comment about Malleus needing to break the spell himself was emphasized a lot in this section. Styx confirmed they’ll reach out to Queen Maleficia to see if she can persuade Malleus to drop the spell, but they’re also convincing the dreamers to persuade Malleus as well. 

So… it seems like a triple whammy of tech, Maleficia, and guilt tripping as a way to take Malleus down. Exciting!!

STYX Experiment: Levan

I was in the middle of writing up a different-yet-related theory, before this came to mind! Many thanks to @hanafubukki, your messages fueled the ideas here 👀🫶💖🐦‍⬛

Regarding Levan’s disappearance, I think it’s easy to forget that soldiers repeatedly went missing at the East Fort, aka the fort that Levan was both in charge of and also disappeared as well. While we don’t know the details of where he actually disappeared, I think it’s suspicious that he was headed to the same spot where other Fae soldiers kept disappearing. Lilia was headed over there not only for Levan, but for the other soldiers too.

But why did these soldiers disappear? Why at the Eastern Fort? I admit that I can’t come up with concrete answers, but another line that’s been bothering me ever since Book 6 released, is that Fae don’t respond to the River Lethe the same way humans do.

Idia specifies this when planning to erase the memories of everyone on Sage’s Island, which included Fae like Malleus and Lilia. But apparently, they need different “dosages” adjusted for them regarding their memory. It’s quite fascinating how STYX was able to fine-tune this process, and learned how to keep the very specific and long memories of Fae, while also erasing others.

The time period of the Fae-Human war makes this tricky, but teleportation magic is established here. Book 6 also establishes how in the modern day, STYX can show up to any country, whether they asked for it or not. It’s not entirely impossible that STYX potentially could’ve done research near Briar Valley at some point, especially because there were so many human kingdoms around at the time allied against Briar Valley.

It’s also interesting that we never get a confirmation of Levan dying or not- something that Lilia was able to sense with Meleanor’s magic disappearing. He just simply disappeared, without any traces of his magic for Lilia to track down.

Now that I’ve brought up all these seemingly unrelated points, let’s try and put them together! With all this information, was Levan and his fellow soldiers kidnapped by STYX, or by a human kingdom that was allied with STYX at the time? 🤔

With Levan, I think of Diaval from the Maleficent live action movie. Diaval was a raven captured by a HUMAN hunter, and was forcibly transformed into a human to be saved. Maleficent could also change him into different forms like a wolf or a dragon- all species that he wasn’t meant to be. Essentially like an “experiment.” In the TWST story, with Styx making its sudden appearance that deviated greatly from Hercules, could Diaval’s transformations be referenced in TWST through Levan being an experiment?

If Levan was kidnapped by Styx to be an experiment, it makes sense why Lilia couldn’t find him despite traveling the world. The Isle of Woe is practically untraceable unless you have a rare Unique Magic like Rook does! It’s underwater, so of course people who lack inside knowledge wouldn’t know about it, no matter how much they travel the world.

And if Levan was an experiment, he would be the perfect “candidate” for the River Lethe dosages. Levan was a presumably powerful Fae, as it’s rumored he fought against the Knight of Dawn and survived. It is why Styx and Idia were so confident in using the River Lethe even against a powerful Fae like Malleus- they’ve done it before and so many times that they were able to fine-tune to a near perfect degree.

Styx also shows how they developed technology similar to Riddle’s “Off with Your Head,” and can seal a person’s magic. Perhaps Lilia could no longer trace Levan’s magic because it was sealed off at some point in time when this technology was developed as well 🤔

Fae in general seem like perfect subjects, with their capacity for magic (and thus blot) and their long life spans. Even if the lead researchers of the Shroud family passed away, Fae could technically be subjects for generations. In Idia’s life time, they seem to be rather lax and generally gracious with their subjects compared to how they could’ve been- although the invasions and electrocutions are admittedly quite bad haha. But again, at some point in time in the early stages of Styx development, there must have been unfortunate subjects for Styx to figure out the River Lethe, their magic sealing collars, their blot tools, everything. Throughout human history, scientific progress has repeatedly been made often through the suffering of others.

And at the time of the Fae-Human war, Fae were considered *monsters.* Monsters like Grim or Phantoms- the exactly sort of creatures that Styx had. Even the subject that killed the human Ortho was described as a “monster,” not a Phantom (there’s theories floating around that this monster was Grim 👀). Henrick also brought up his plans to essentially enslave Malleus before he even hatched- to use his dragon form as “his steed.”

So I wouldn’t be surprised that there was a time where Styx shared similar views, and thus kidnapped and conducted experiments on Fae as if they were as “expendable” as monsters 🤔 Even if Styx in the modern day has changed greatly, the damage that previous generations created cannot be undone.

I’d also like to say that Levan was similarly considered to be Meleanor’s “eyes and limbs,” much like how Diaval was Maleficent’s wings. Maleficent’s wings were trapped in a cage, still alive, but trapped. Perhaps the ideas of Diaval being captured by a human hunter and Maleficent’s wings being trapped in a cage were combined for TWST as clues to what happened to Levan? 👀

Tampered memories, blot…ANSJJSZ I have tried my hardest to not bring up Crowley, but I find his relationship with Styx to be fascinating 🫣 But I’ll save that and the details regarding blot for a future post, because I mostly just wanted to talk about the potential backstory for Levan in this one \(//∇//)\ What are your thoughts on what happened to Levan and even the other soldiers who disappeared? 🤔

[idiaa-shroxd]

while working on reqs. here’s a little brainrot bubble. I think it’s be funny if instead of us getting Isekai’d the twenty two boys at entrance ceremony find themselves Isekai’d into your “mysterious” house that you inherited from a grandparent after you touch a mirror that had a cloth covering. Imagine teaching them about technology and try to convince these people to stay sane while in each other’s faces for almost twenty four hours a day, especially since some of them just met and got sorted into dorms. I just had the thought of do these men have airplanes in their world? and it kind of evolved to this.

Like Diasomnia on edge at first with Silver and Sebek trying to guard Malleus as Lilia listens to you and your explanation deeming you no threat. Malleus is simply happy he was invited or included with everyone when they were teleported. In Savanaclaw they all still have their beastmen features so you’re pleading with this stranger to not leave and go outside and cause trouble and this lion man is like… if you insist, while being smug. Totally acts like he is pitiful if you ask for help because he is stuck indoors. Floyd is having the time of his life, he will gnaw on furniture, as Jade is a bit more grounded but follow’s Azul’s lead as he tries to convince you to turn your house into a business as you deny.

Ignihyde has Idia and his brother and you’re thinking what a cute robot before he shoots a laser at a bug and you think that is enough for today. You eventually let all the boys live in your grandpa’s old home since it were rather large.. and magic is convenient. They can easily clean up the place and some are eager to learn about your world. You went from a normal life alone to living a life with a whole lot of boys.

Some of them do chores, like Trey, Jade, Jamil, who are the main chefs, while others such as Ruggie and Rook handle the laundry. Azul, Jade and Floyd handle your budgeting and monthly finances. You are not sure how but the money they give as “rent” increases per month. Vil and Idia have picked up youtube and streaming respectively, Idia being a vtuber and Vil having a channel that does a variety of content. Both are surprisingly popular. Vil also helps you renovate the interior design and Idia + Ortho handle all the machines and wifi. Some do odd jobs on occasion around the place like Ace, Epel, Lilia, some do hard lifting and collecting firewood like Jack and Sebek. Others such as Riddle and Cater can set the table, sweep up and check in on you. Some are freeloaders such as Leona, Malleus, and Kalim.

You figured things would be dysfunctional at first since your newfound boys weren’t allowed outside of your house, in fact are physically incapable of leaving your property, but they all managed to fit right in snuggly. Honestly, you couldn’t imagine just how hard life would be without them. You start working from home as your grandpa’s business is also passed down to you, even though you are a grossly underqualified child- claiming to be told old to keep up as he leaves to traveling the world after meeting the boys once. He doesn’t freak out and just go “:P forgot to tell you.”

You find their magic interesting. You also find out your grandpa has a lot of secrets. He can’t return them (much to their disappoint but later they could not care less they won’t return) but he can at least help out with some ancient books passed down about the great seven themselves, helping the Octatrio stay in human form. You also find some of them demanding, Floyd and Kalim almost always clinging to your arms as you try to work.

Sometimes you wake up to arguments, a chair may be flying, literally. Another time you awoke to a crying grey cat with ears of fire, trying to scratch at you. Hearing your scream Riddle and Azul came to your rescue, but you quickly told them not to be mean to a kitty, keeping him and naming him Grim.. seems like your home has gotten a new member, again.

Idia seems much more willing to leave his room when you mention getting a cat. Ace looks slight annoyed that you get to keep a fire producing cat but he could not keep a bear that Rook found? You were completely unfair. Meanwhile Riddle is ready to collar the cat for existing because he found a tart of his being eaten by the cat. You barely contained his rage, everyone lived another day.

Overall a chaotic household you now have.

a fun concept to play with? I’m a fan of the “inherits some mysterious magic object” trope and wanted to toy around with it a bit. i also had thoughts like my yuu would 100% be nicer to them than they are to us and give them a place to actually stay than kicking them to the curb like a certain Ramshackle building.

After Chapter 7, Malleus and by extension Briar Valley had to deal with plenty of backlash.

In an attempt to appease the public (and control Malleus), the Senate organized a press conference with world leaders and NRC parents (there's A LOT of overlap between those two groups).

The main idea was to show the Senate as capable advisors that would guide the young Draconia, cementing their status in Briar Valley while also "protecting" and isolating Malleus.

What really happened was that Mrs. Rosehearts yelled at them for ten hours straight.

You see, Riddle was worried about how his mother would react to the entire Chapter 7 situation, so he made sure to explain everything to her, casting Malleus and Lillia in a more favourable light.

And it acually worked! You see, despite all her failures as a parent, she is still a mother at the end of the day, and the idea that a son would go to such great lenghts, overblotting and almost dooming the entire world, just to keep his parental figure safe, was quite touching.

She also has a newfound respect for Lillia, how he spent all those years looking for ways to get Malleus to hatch, how he went above and beyond to care for the Prince, even while banished, how he adopted and raised Silver (who is the only student she actually respects). HOW HE LITERALLY SACRIFICED PART OF HIS LIFEFORCE FOR MALLEUS TO HATCH!

On the other hand, she HATES the Senate. Mostly because she put herself in Meleanor's shoes: imagine you're about to die and decide to entrust your unborn son to your friend, only for said friend to be unjustly banished, leaving your kid in the hands of a bunch of entitled senators that completely DISREGARDED YOUR LAST WISH (Mrs. Rosehearts hates it when people don't do what she says, so she feels personally offended by that last bit, the fact that Malleus almost died also doesn't help).

Anyway, she's angry and, since the Senate IS encouraging people to air their grievances with Briar Valley, might as well seize this opportunity!

Malleus, Silver, Sebek, Lillia, Baul and Maleficia feel vindicated. Since only the housewardens and Diasomnia were invited for the event, the group chat was crazy.

The housewardens were all sitting together near the back of the room, alongside Silver and Sebek (they DON'T want to draw attention to themselves, especially since most of them are overblot survivors), so they could easily chat or sleep. Meanwhile the students back on campus were watching everything at Ramshackle.

As a small bonus, a few ways to avoid panic attacks, by Riddle and Trey:

*Mrs. Rosehearts starts talking*

Trey: Hey Rook!

Rook: Oui?

Trey: What is the meaning of beauty?

Rook: :D

*Rook starts monologuing and nobody can hear the TV anymore*

Meanwhile Riddle:

*School chat*

Epel: So, how long until she stops yelling at people? It ain't funny anymore...

Riddle: Since she yelled at Trey's parents for five hours because they gave me a tart, maybe ten or fifteen hours?

Ruggie: Wtf

Deuce: Are you doing okay, dormhead?

Riddle: I have a fully charged phone with a crosswords app, headphones playing all the Queen's rules on loop, and an entire bottle filled with the strongest calming tea I could find.

Riddle: Moreover, I'm currently seated beside the sleepiest students in this school (Leona and Silver). Their calm disposition creates a peaceful environment.

Riddle: Therefore I shall be able to keep panic attacks AND overblots at bay!

Ace: Just say yes or no...

*15 minutes later*

Riddle: I beat the game, there are no more crosswords

Vil: Chess.com

Vil: NOW

Vil: Wake Leona up, we're having a TOURNAMENT!

Idia: Congrats, u just got a World Record

Idia: Also I'm sending you a list of games later...

They left a bit after the seventh hour mark.

[merakiui]

Tw: slut shaming, incel!Idia, him being gross, noncon, size kink kinda, afab but crossdressing, etc

Imagine just bullying Idia daily when you game with him, calling his penis small repeatedly, this man had enough of your daily shenanigans, but the more he sees you the more he notices just how small you are compared to him to be just a normal male.

Your body is just so..... Feminine. Your frame is small but your thighs thick? Now he just has to test for himself, he bets that you were a slut who only likes getting gangbanged by the Savanaclaw students.

Come on? A girl crossdressing in an all boys school? We all know this troupe. He bets you are all loose from all the fucking you did,( little did he know you were a virgin all along, what non virgin would hang out with him daily anyway?)

He decided to take action against your mockery and pins you on the floor while you were distracted with your game,

"Hey prefect, tell me, why would a man wear more clothes around their chest?"

"W-what?! Get off me you tiny penis bitch, even squidward's nose is bigger-"

Idia wasted no time to strip you off your clothing, he was right after all, you were a girl, all girls are the same after all, it's their fault that no one wants to fuck him, you are just yet another loose slut.

He zip ties your hands then begins licking your cunt, this taste is quite addictive, but why isn't it all wet an soppy like in hentai? He attempts to shove a finger in but his single finger is getting clamped like crazy, no way..... You were a virgin? But no aren't you a slut?

He continues to lick your clit while his large hands keep your legs open, he stares at you, you really are a girl huh? How did he never catch that? As he did what hentai taught him you slowly gushed on his face, no longer fighting back from being all brain mushy.

He almost cummed in his pants but it's okay, you were meant to be bred anyway like the bitch you are. As he inserted his long dick you started to cry.

"Its too big, it won't fit. Can we stop this already?"

"Where did this your snarky bitchy attitude go? What happened with calling me tiny? No no, you're staying right here, this is all your fault. You finish what you started."

When he filled you to the brim, he can notice the massive bulge of himself inside of you, tiny you say? You were regretting your words right there, you started to scream and squirm as he thrusted.

It burns, it stings, it hurts, its feels good...wait what? You began slurring your words, you went from screaming no to screaming more. He finished inside of you.

White was oozing out, he took pics for later purposes. From that incident onwards Idia started to take action against you. You were converting from a brat to a cutie pliant kitten.

You do what he asks you to, like wearing a collar with his name on it, and wearing the skirts with tights you oh so despise. Every time you wanted to act out, he always threatened to share pictures of you and hack into the whole campus's phone just to spread it, maybe next time you should have watched your words.

UUUWUAAAAA IZUNA, THIS IS DELICIOUS OTL OTL OTL OTL

(cw: yandere, nsfw, unhealthy behaviors/relationship, implied captivity, non-con, pregnancy mentions, incel idia, misogyny)

And he’ll make you sit on his lap and cockwarm him while he’s gaming. Maybe he’ll make you wear a ball gag so you won’t be too noisy when he’s on vc. If you’re good and you don’t cum, he might let you take off that cute, revealing outfit you can’t stand. Maybe he’ll let you wear his hoodie. It’ll be so oversized on you. He might just fuck you in it. :) he probably uses you as a reference for when he’s sketching. He’ll stuff you full of all kinds of sex toys just so he can improve his anatomy or certain poses. Or he’ll want to recreate scenes from his favorite hentai.

And if you can just stop complaining and take his cock like the good kitten you are, he’ll bring you birth control, all that stuff girls need for their monthly periods, and anything else you might want. But that’s only if you’re obedient. He’ll dangle all of these good things in front of you because with the click of a button he can have them ordered to his dorm, but he can take them away just as fast. All it takes is one bratty comment from you and he might not let you take any birth control. He never bothers to wear condoms either because doing it raw is so much better. Idia has plenty of money and resources to care for a child (not that he’s truly ready for parenthood, but you’d look cute with a round belly and he’s always wanted to try pregnancy sex…), and if it’s you he wouldn’t mind it. But maybe that’s just his dick talking. Logical Idia says there’s no way he’d be able to take on that sort of challenge, but Idia when he’s buried to the hilt inside of you and you’re digging your nails into his shoulders thinks there would be nothing better than knocking you up and waiting for your belly to swell and your tits to grow a size or two and begin leaking. :)

That’s really all you’re good for, isn’t it? You should’ve known what you were getting into when you found yourself stuck at an all-boys academy. That’s basically a hentai waiting to happen. You’re basically signing yourself up to be a communal cumdump. Idia feels lucky he got to you before anyone else did. There are so many eligible bachelors here… there’s no way he can compete with them, but now he has you and he doesn’t have to compete. You may be a little brat when you aren’t stuffed full of cock, but at least he sees the real you when you’re under him, completely at his mercy and always melting at the slightest touch. He’ll condition his kitten well until you know exactly what to say and do when he expects it.

Fear and Hunger AU Doodles from school

[Context]

Doing Pome designs first cause of course I would— I really wanted to replicate the style or go for something similar-

I am too small brain rn but I’ll make a comprehensive sheet of party/dorm set ups starting with Heartslabyul- I’m also hoping for each portrait to be digitalize so uhhh these sketches aren’t concrete

• This AU came to me as a spur of the moment thing (made the context post mins before class started-), but how I imagine it is that each dorm’s roster has to rescue its dorm leader, but somehow end up needing to be saved too (coughcough potential party members)

• Yeahhhh for the sake of simplicity- I’m stealing D’arce’ motives for everyone but I may or may not change it up depending on how deep I wanna go with this AU.

• In place of Moonless, you can recruit that Grim-like Overblot thing you fight in the TWST battle tutorial

• Yuu/MC is just there for whatever reason you want

[theworstfangirl]

The fact that I can name three different near-apocalypses in Twisted Wonderland all caused by teenage mages says so much about these boys and their mental stability.

Why does no one ever consider therapy?

[sbk-zgvlt]

Maybe Silver accidently comes to STYX(or something) and meet Sebek and they become friends speedrun(idk in canon their best/childhood friends so-) and he brings him back to the dorm and meet Malleus(and him fixing Vil?)?

Silver, who was trying to save Riddle only to get captured as well: Where the FUCK am I-

IM CRYING 😭😭😭

STYX Sebek is just passing by their cell, chewing gum only to do a double take when he sees Silver, who is NOT supposed to be there

He puts him in another cell which is literally just right next to the overblotees, but Sebek lets him visit em after their tests since "theyre not shut-ins like u idia lawl"

He's curious about Silver's narcoleptic tendencies, and ends up doing tests on him too to find the rooy cause, so the two of them end up hanging out a lot.

Silver after a long test: I think I should go now though, my father will be worried.

Sebek in all his whimsical jouous glory: Oh u mean vanrouge??? Lawl yeah dw idia's going to finish up w his tests soon enough

Silver, who is pretty sure Sebek shouldnt know about Lilia being his father, gaping at Sebek with the most expressive look that anyone has ever seen: what

Sebek: what

Blah blah blah idia ob, sebek BAWLING, they return to nrc just in time and Malleus and Lilia immediately fuss over Silver before the former asks him who Sebek is while the latter is getting fucking flashbacks 💀💀💀 bcz dawg this guy looking a bit too mcuh like my ex's grandson,,,

Magic Assault Practice & Styx’s Lachesis System

I’m very suspicious of the Magic Assault Practice event that is directly run by Crowley 👀 In this event, there are these virtual projections for the Magic Assault Practice. The battles are set in a virtual simulation, which Crowley explains it was for practicality reasons, as in last years, this was set in physical locations like reserved/uninhabited islands which caused SO much trouble amongst the students and teachers. Since virtual projections has progressed so far in terms of realism, Crowley reasons this would be the most efficient way for the students to get some training without the hassle. (At least this is what I gathered from translating it myself online andjsjd)

With this system, Crowley makes himself the final boss battle in every map of the event, and says Virtual!Crowley has significantly less magical power than he really has for everyone’s safety. And as I found out from the lovely @floydhat, the virtual projections are adjustable, where the difficultly level can be reconfigured by the real him.

His virtual projections reminds me a lot of Styx’s Lachesis System, used in Book 6 so the students could virtually battle at full capacity without having any real harm sustained in their bodies.

The Lachesis system was already a shock to all the students- even students like Riddle and Azul who have stronger knowledge about these sort of things- especially relating to the school. The Magic Assault Practice event is stated to be a new thing “introduced” by Crowley, that “from now on,” these unique lessons will be set in the virtual setting. Furthermore, the Lachesis system does more than just testing magic in a facility. It combines with the battle simulation to create false yet extremely convincing environments and people. The virtual people can talk with the same voices, the environments look exact- it’s scarily realistic.

In the Magic Assault Practice event, Crowley says virtual projections have improved to the point of being able to recreate forests, underwater scenes, beaches, etc. to the point it’s “no different from the real thing.” It is why the battle maps take place in every single dorm- we don’t actually travel to different dorms. It’s just a projection in there coliseum. And here, much like the Lachesis system, it goes beyond regular VR and more of a practical lesson for the students magic. I assume any damage the students receive is simulated, much like the Lachesis system, but I don’t know for sure yet!

Considering the Magic Assault Practice event says this simulation thing is new, I conclude this equipment gifted from Styx. I sound oddly confident about a theory for once, don’t I? 🤣 But I was look back at book 6 for this theory, and I was blown away by Crowley mentioning that Styx not only covered the repair bills for the damage they caused to the school, but expanded the school’s facilities. Isn’t this a genius potential callback? This would realistically be an incredibly expensive system- Crowley’s stinginess with money or not, a brand new system that’s this high tech would be an unreasonable amount of money just for some student lessons. It all makes sense!

But at the same time, it worries me. Crowley in the event is very specific about saying how the simulation would be just like the “real thing.” I feel like putting all these clues together could lead to a lot of different separate theories here, but…I’m not sure. All I can say is that I feel more confident than ever to Crowley having a direct connection with Styx and the Shroud family 🤔🐦‍⬛ I don’t why, I just have some suspicions on why Crowley was given the high tech virtual simulator in the first place, when we’ve only seen Styx use it to monitor blot levels…is the Magic Assault Practice event for other motives, I wonder?

Also, I got curious of what “Lachesis” meant. There are two meanings to it. The first being that Lachesis is the name of the one of the Three Fates/Moirai, the infamous divine trio in Greek Mythology that control the birth, life, and death of every single person, aka the destiny of everyone. Their symbols are there thread, spindle, and scissors. Clotho first weaved the threads of life, Lachesis measured the threads, (how long a person gets to live), and Atropos cuts the string, ending a person’s life. Depending on the mythological text, Lachesis is also the one who chooses each persons destiny- but in others it’s the job of all three. Interesting! (Edit: sob sob I don’t want to admit it, but Disney’s Hercules has the Three Fates. In the screenshot above, Lachesis is holding the string. Crowley’s mask HELP?! 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀)

But secondly, a Lachesis is a type of snake- a venomous pit viper, to be exact, named after the Lachesis of the Three Fates. This seems irrelevant at first, but notice how prevalent the symbol of the snake is at NRC’s logo and Dark Mirror. I go into a bit more detail in a separate post here about every meanings of this, but isn’t this strange how Styx is getting shockingly more connected to NRC the more we think of it? Crowley essentially having his own Lachesis system…Lachesis measuring threads of fate before they are cut…depending on mythology Lachesis is the one who chooses destiny…

The weaved spindle wheel threads in Book 7’s trailer are cut, which signal the end of life…

Crowley, what are you doing?! Σ੧(❛□❛✿)

Did I put the Glory and Bridgerton reference in there yes

Did Yuya find the S.T.Y.X uniform attractive on Idia yes but was he going to bury Idia alive in said uniform also yes

[lemmeplaymom]

I had been watching infected analog horrors and got inspiration for a horror twisted wonderland idea and character. This is a mutated variant of an overblot; one of which is irreversible but is not contagious through exposure or genetics. This mutation develops after experiencing numerous overblots in one’s life. It’s a twisted concept of “if you keep making that face, it’ll freeze that way”. Carline Marten ((Yes, I know I spelled her name wrong in the sketch)) is the first person to experience this mutation and is currently being examined in the S.T.Y.X facility for observation under number 213. I plan to explore and add in more details and ideas for this horror concept.

thinking about yandere!idia who uses sex as a means of conditioning you into obedience.

(cw: yandere, nsfw, captivity/kidnapping, conditioning, non-con/dub-con, stockholm syndrome, mindbreak, aphrodisiac use)

He’s not surprised when you fight your capture. Though it’s obvious you can’t win in a fight against a group of STYX robots, you still try to run, to attack, to kick and thrash when they seize your arms in an unyielding grip and drag you to Idia. Even if you aren’t capable of Overblotting and therefore there’s no real reason for him to kidnap you for research, he still wishes to have you in his grasp, to keep you forever and never let you out of his sights. It must have been nice to have the freedom to spend time with your friends whenever you wanted. It must have been nice when all of those useless NPCs fell for you. You never even noticed him—not that you could have when he’d confined himself to his room most of the time, and you’d only known him as the shy shut-in from Ignihyde.

Which he still is. But Idia has a job to do—a very important one at that. He prepared himself well in advance so that your reactions wouldn’t surprise him. It’s a shame you’re so averse to him. So full of hate and fear. It saddens him greatly to see you avoid his touch, to see you scowl with the most poisonous abhorrence, to listen to your cruel remarks about how he’ll never get away with this and how he’s the worst person in the world—how he’s gross, creepy, perverted scum who deserves to rot for an eternity.

Idia has considered every plausible means of wearing you down until you accept him, and even though he could subject you to solitary confinement he thinks of other alternatives to get you to love him. If you can associate him with all things positive—with all things sex—then you might warm up to him when he visits your cell for the daily check-in.

It will start small, as all controlled experiments often do, with the tiniest dose of a potent aphrodisiac. Since you aren’t strong enough to hold up against complex potions and spells, even the smallest amount has you squirming uncomfortably in your restraints, crying wantonly against the rubber that gags you. He tells you this could all end before it gets even more unbearable. All you have to do is say you’ll be his. Say you’ll love him and he’ll stop. But it’s that misplaced stubbornness of yours that has you mustering a glare and, undoubtedly, a slew of insults that go unheard and muffled. Idia can only frown.

It looks like he’ll just have to try a little harder to raise your romance meter.

When aphrodisiacs become too much and you’re nearly crying for relief, he’ll have you stuffed with a dildo or a vibrator. Sometimes you cum immediately; other times you try to move your hips to find the release you’re desperately craving. Eventually, aphrodisiacs won’t be enough. He’ll have you strapped down while a machine fucks into you, a thick dildo going in and out of your tight hole, and he’ll sit on the other side of the glass and observe. You never give him the satisfaction of accepting him, so he will not give you the satisfaction of a climax.

Just when you think you might finally cum after hours of agonizing torture, the machine will come to an abrupt halt, the silicone cock will slide out, and you’ll be left empty and cold, your walls squeezing around nothing. Idia gives you another chance. His voice is emotionless over the intercom. Choose him and this won’t happen again. Choose him and you’ll be happy. He’ll always satisfy you. You’ll always be given release if you give into him. Once again, you deny him. And, as if to rub more petty salt onto a nonexistent wound, you say the dildo that was once rutting into you is much bigger and thicker than he’ll ever be.

Idia barks out a harsh laugh, but there’s no amusement in the sound. Another week will go by; you’ll be left to suffer through an endless edging session. He always offers an easy out at the end of every day. You never take it.

So Idia hypothesizes that you might be more prone to accepting him if you spend behavioral training in isolation. You’ll be moved into a soundproofed room and sound-muffling headphones will be situated over your ears. You’ll be blindfolded and gagged, unable to see or speak to anyone. Idia still watches over you from the room next door, peering at the wall of monitors to admire your sweaty body flinch and jerk at every bolt of stimulation. All sorts of toys will be used on you, but Idia’s favorite is all of the vibrators he can stuff inside you and attach to you. They’ll be set to the lowest mode. Coupled with a dildo, it works well at making you shudder and yearn. This time he won’t give you an offer. You’ll be left all alone in the room, unable to hear anything else but your thoughts.

It’s only until the end of the week that you finally hear his voice. He presents you with the same offer. This time you hesitate for a brief moment before resuming your pointless rebellion. Idia sighs. He’s nothing if not patient, but the spoiled heir in him wants you right now. He can have you; he does have you. You’re trapped here with him, and yet he can’t actually have you. Not until you willingly love him, even if such willingness comes at the cost of your suffering.

When you deny him yet again, the headphones will be put back on over your ears and the cycle will repeat itself for another week. This goes on for a while. Months, probably. You have no idea how much time has passed, but Idia has kept track of it. He’s catalogued your reactions for every day, how willing you’ve been, how quick you are to beg after each lesson. He calls them lessons, but truthfully it’s just one grand punishment.

By the eighteenth week, you’ve begun to show some progress. Now, rather than remaining quiet or struggling to compose yourself enough to throw clever insults back at him, you call out to him after each session. It’s a good sign. He’s immensely pleased, so much so that he can’t hide the giddy excitement in his voice when he answers. You’re starting to come undone, slowly but surely. Since you’ve grown accustomed to hearing him at the end of every sexual endeavor, he’ll begin to talk to you before the torture begins. When you hear his voice you’ll know of what’s to come. This will go on for a while until, eventually, you’ve learned that Idia’s voice is a clear indicator of both the start and end of sex. Any other voice is unimportant. You’ll only know of Idia’s and the meaning it holds.

He doesn’t use the gag on you anymore, so now he’s free to hear your lovely voice moan all kinds of wonderful things. You say his name a lot. It boosts his confidence to know that all of this is worth it. As tedious as waiting is, there is a sweet reward to be had for enduring all of this. He’ll continue to observe for now, doing his very best to ignore your pleas when you insist that it’s him you want buried deep inside you. What he’d give to fuck you even dumber than you already are… Unfortunately, he must wait.

The blindfold is the next to go. This time, the room on the other side of the glass is perfectly visible to you. You’ll get to look Idia in the eyes while you’re fucked senseless by a machine. Idia will talk you through this, praise you for taking the dildo so well, admit how perfect you look like this and how much he’d love to do all of that to you and more. It may have been unnerving at first, but now it only seems to make you hornier. Idia smiles at you through the glass, perfectly pointed teeth flashing under clinically bright lights. You’ll cum with his name on the tip of your pretty tongue.

It certainly took a while, but Idia’s sculpted you into a perfect prisoner: obedient, soft-spoken, and thoughtless. Now you can’t stop yourself from growing hot when you see or hear him. He’s engraved new instincts into you, and these seem to be the only things you’ll ever know from now on. When he was certain you’d been worn down enough, he’d enter the room you were confined in and help you reach your climax. Whether that was by touching you, kissing you, or even licking along your sensitive areas. He’s taught you that he’s the only one who can provide this. That he’s the only one who can make you feel good. And for the first time since you were captured, you agree. Idia feels like the happiest man alive.

Now you’re always at his side. He’s given you a modicum of freedom, though it’s still spent in captivity. You’ll wear a shock collar that’s designed to administer controlled shocks if you travel out of range from Idia. It also keeps track of your location should the shocking system malfunction. He likes to dress you in all sorts of cute outfits. Cosplays, mostly. Some days you’ll be a maid for him. Other days you’ll don cat ears and a tail. You’re so good for him now. You don’t insult him anymore. You don’t look at him with such intense vitriol anymore. You don’t fight him anymore.

And when he touches you in certain areas, you know to spread your legs.

Idia’s pleased he’s trained you well. When he’s observing the NRC students who have previously Overblotted through a dozen high-quality camera feeds and you’re on your knees under the desk, taking his cock in your delicate mouth so obediently, it’s almost difficult to imagine how you were before any of this. Fiery and rebellious, you’d often spit hate as if that would have any effect on him. As if it might sway his decisions and prompt him to let you go. As charming as that may have been, Idia finds he likes this version of you much better.

Because the you from before never had eyes as glazed as the you now, and you’d never readily suck him off under his desk or lower yourself onto his stiff cock when you climb into his lap, as needy as a cat in heat, always so vocal about how good you feel, how you want him to cum lots inside, how he’s the only one who can fulfill you, how you love him so much, how if he doesn’t fuck you every day you might just die. Your mind may be thoroughly muddled and you may only think of him and sex now, but that’s really all you need to consider. After all, Idia likes cute, compliant kitties far more than he likes those who hiss and claw.
