Meleanor Expressions 🥺💚💖💞✨

The last two is from @alchemivich but most of these was my full body edits based on these tweet

sorry if theres any mistake 😩💥

her tearing up expression might be the closest thing we have, to see how Malleus will cry 😭😭💔💔💔 (rn i dont really see Malleus as a "loud/expressive crier" (like Lilia) but who knows lol i feel like a resigned crying where you let the tears fall silently feels more aligned to his depression about eternal loneliness. i dont think even in his downfall (after his overblot), he wont cry loudly, because thats how Malleus has always been, even if hes increadibly sad, "he never expresses extreme emotions about it" (him freezing a castle as a child bcs he couldnt understand why hes alone/feeling lonely but it isnt said that he cried, how in Lilias party he was casting a blizzard at how devastated he is about Lilias situation but never crying, how he disregards his "childhood tantrums" as being immature even though he knows children have rights to cry (what he says to Silver but never himself)) but theres a certain sense of freedom if he does cry loudly though,, like Riddle who had pent up emotions up until the end of his overblot😭

Diasomnia’s and Pomefiore’s Peacock Imagery (& the ties to Meleanor)

When looking at Diasomnia’s Halloween costume- “the ghost of a long,” I was confused for a while about the peacock feather. But the Halloween events in particular have shown generous amounts of foreshadowing, especially with Diasomnia. If Levan, Malleus’ father, does indeed have some relation to the long (his title being Ryūgan Duke Levan, which may translate to Long-Eyed Duke Levan), then this Halloween costume that Malleus chose himself certainly has its significance.

Anyway, about the peacock feather, in Twisted Wonderland this is usually associated with the Fairest Queen and Pomefiore- undoubtedly because of the Peacock Throne. In Snow White, it’s said that the Evil Queen had a Peacock Throne that represented her extreme vanity. Peacocks have long since been symbols of beauty, elegance, power, royalty- but sometimes also correlated to pride to a sinful degree.

But after poking around a bit with some research, I discovered that the long was often paired the fenghuang, a mythical bird in Chinese mythology, and these two paired together would symbolize marital harmony and everlasting love between husband and wife. The fenghuang in modern times became a feminine entity tied with the empress, and the long a masculine entity tied to the emperor. These creatures were opposites yet harmonious, like the yin and yang respectively.

Much like the long, the fenghuang was said to made up of the parts of various animals- and in more recent mythos, the fenghuang is commonly depicted with the tail of a peacock.

So…I wonder if Malleus unintentionally chose a Halloween costume that represented both of his parents, and symbols of their harmonious marriage. Dragon eggs do require genuine, parental love to hatch, which Meleanor and Levan would’ve undoubtedly gave if fate treated them more kindly. We don’t know much about Levan, but he was described as kind, a scholar, a diplomat, someone who desired peace and unity between humans and Fae. Most of these descriptions are from Lilia, and these are a stark contrast to how he describes Meleanor.

I also feel like there is something mysterious tying Pomefiore and Diasomnia specifically. Ray has an incredibly big brain thread about Diasomnia’s and Pomefiore’s connections- please check it out 👀 But I wonder if the symbolism of the peacock and the mixture of pride and nobility is trying to say something more. The peacock imagery is usually tied to Vil, as his spell book is beautifully decorated with peacock imagery, and his recent card seems to have golden claws/or embellishments on his gloves that resemble peacock feathers. His Overblot form has SEVERAL ties to it. The ends of his cape resemble black peacock feathers, and so do his boots and crown.

Interestingly enough, his Overblot form heavily resembles the Virgin Mary. If you’re curious about this resemblance to not only the Virgin Mary but also Meleanor, check out this older theory post of mine as well ^_^ Rook also gets a peacock feather in his hat for his New Years outfit, but the peacock imagery definitely seems more tied to Vil 🤔

Additionally, in a split second shot in the opening, Crowley is seen sitting in what seems to be a Peacock Throne. The throne in Pomefiore is a direct reference to the Evil Queen’s throne, but what’s interesting about Crowley’s throne is that the gemstones are purple, not blue. Either this is lighting being unusually strong, or this is a different chair entirely. It may be his office chair, but unfortunately we haven’t gotten a good look at it yet. Even Crowley’s new furniture in the JP version doesn’t show enough details for his office throne.

I mentioned this briefly in the Virgin Mary theory, but I feel as though that Vil is the closest representation of who Meleanor was. I think this line in his dorm uniform vignette is most striking, as he is like “the Queen reborn, with two striking knights at your side.” The thing is, the Evil Queen didn’t HAVE any knights. Her closest companions were the raven and the hunter. But neither of them were exactly knights, and she thought very little of them in the film. Rook’s chat’s say that the hunter carried out all her orders- although he made many blunders, and said that the raven was more of a pet (contrast to Malleus who says Diablo was a fellow companion who fought alongside Maleficent). But Meleanor DID have “two striking knights” at her side, through the form of Levan and Lilia, her left and right generals.

Additionally, in Book 5, Vil mentions beauty being a power that’s more overwhelming that violence, and can bring people to their knees. And his voicelines show his belief that roses have thorns is part of their charm. I just can’t help but think of the scene in Book 7, where Meleanor literally brings Yuu and crew down to their knees with her magic, thinking them unworthy of even looking at her in the eye. (Credits to Otome Ayui for translation🐦‍⬛)

And Vil’s voicelines show his belief that roses having thorns is part of the charm, and that he interestingly correlates birthdays with the aurora. Meleanor’s castle is called Wild Rose Castle, and ended up covering the castle with her thorns. Additionally, both the aurora and the rose is heavily tied to Sleeping Beauty, with Princess Aurora, and her “peasant” name being Briar Rose. The gift of her beauty even said her lips were as red as the rose. And, well, there’s the whole storyline about Aurora’s sixteenth birthday overall -v-

As I mentioned earlier, I think Vil and Pomefiore represent Meleanor more as the Fae she was- her “tenacity,” as you could put it, being the spirit of Pomefiore. Diasomnia seems to connect to the idea of nobility and the guards/knights that protect the Queen. Even Pomefiore’s imagery, of the peacock, the sword impaling the heart…it feels very representative of what happened to Meleanor. Perhaps the connection between these two dorms makes up the full image of Meleanor (I’m not sure how to describe what I’m saying NSJXJD)? The guards to the Queen, the nobility and dragon Fae of Diasomnia, with the pride, tenacity, and beauty of Pomefiore.

And back to what a peacock symbolizes, in Chinese culture the peacock is tied to auspicious happiness and prosperity, and serves as a symbol of beauty, nobility, power, and divinity. The feathers could even be talisman to ward of evil spirits. The Fenghuang was also believed to disappear during times of chaos and despair, and would only appear when there was world peace.

In English, the Fenghuang is translated as the “Chinese Phoenix,” although I’ve read that the similarities are superficial. The Phoenix being well known for bursting into flames and being reborn from its own ashes could potentially have significance though- but this trait is not seen in Chinese mythos. Additionally, Christianity associates the peacock with purity and the resurrection of Jesus, so peacock imagery can be seen at burials/tombs.

What fascinates me about this idea of purity and nobility is the surrounding conflicting views of who Meleanor was. The Senate practically turned her into some angelic, fairytale figure (Lian elaborates so beautifully in her post here 🫶) who is dignified and noble. The Senate idolized her to the point that Lilia was too filthy to ever stand beside her- who was a noble dragon. The Silver Owls saw her as a monster, a vain witch to be defeated. Lilia saw her as a spoiled and overly prideful princess, but also cared for her deeply as a person and not just someone to be idolized. He grew up with her, after all, and has been subjected to her antics and mischief for many years. (Translation credits to Otome Ayui 🐦‍⬛)

I think the connections here could heavily tie to other popular theories, like Meleanor being in the Dark Mirror or will be “resurrected” in some way. And you all know me- I think Crowley’s fixation on Pomefiore and the Evil Queen may also be representative of something (*´∀｀*) No matter the theories regarding Crowley, I do think it’s significant that he’s sitting in some peacock throne in the opening. With all these connections to nobility, I wonder if it means Crowley taking on the symbolic or literal position of royalty or power (*'▽'*) He is technically the highest authority so far at NRC, but I just can’t help but feel there’s more significance than meets the eye 🐦‍⬛

Twisted Wonderland Inspired Makeup: Diasomnia Dormitory 🖤💚🖤💚🖤

So at 2:30 am I decided to start doing the Twisted Wonderland Makeup looks that I have been planning to do. During quarantine I have barely been wearing makeup at all, though I am a certified Makeup Artist, I was afraid of losing my touch.

I think the result for the first look is decent. I really would have liked to make the wing longer into the shape similar to the horns on Malleus, but I am limited with eyeliner at the moment. If I really had enough I would have went all out and drawn some thorns down my cheek and such. This is more of a daily look. (Well, for me that is...)

I took some screenshots of Malleus in the game, he is surprisingly quite funny. I will join your Gargoyle Appreciation Society, Malleus Lol. Being the Prefect of the dorm, I took most inspiration from him.

I will be doing Makeup looks inspired by each of the dorms, I chose Diasomnia first because Twisted Wonderland’s first advertisement last year was art work of Malleus. Malleus is definitely one of my favorites, but Vil has my heart.

I cannot wait to do a Pomefiore Dormitory inspired Makeup, it will probably be very similar to Vil’s. Next dorm I shall do is Heartslabyul Dormitoty though. Pomefiore will be after that.

Products: Kat Von D Lock-it Foundation (Shade 41), Covergirl Transluscent Powder, Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow Dip Brow Pomade (Granite), Kat Von D Saint and Sinner Eyeshadow Palette, Urban Decay Electric Palette, Stilla Liquid Sparkle Eyeshadow (Molten Midnight), Kat Von D Tattoo Eyeliner (Trooper Black), Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick (Witches), Anastasia Beverly Hills Aurora Highlighter Palette, Eylure Fake Lashes (Ones From the Vegas Nay collaboration).

I almost never post my makeup on here but this is the only place where there’s a decent Twisted Wonderland Fandom. 🖤

Why does Trey look like a university English TA? And damn Sebek, THAT FOREHEAD 💀

This one was very hard to do, but I think Trey came out well. It was brought to my attention that Trey was only featured ONCE in this entire series and I had to fix that, so let me know what you think of this swap!
