THE JUMPSCARE I JUST FROM SEEING MY LITERAL FAVORITE TWST ARTIST BEING TAGGED UNDER MY POST HELP

Edit: Additional ones I just thought of for staff:

Crowley: Once had to bike around a shit ton of bird corpses lining several yards of sidewalk to meet my dormmates at a lighthouse, went to the wrong lighthouse anyway, and had to bike back through it.

Bonus: Not One I did, but my Dad once preheated the oven to 350 degrees without realizing there was a pizza box in there, then left the house a few minutes before it caught on fire so my sister had to stop it. (I was upstairs and did nothing, as foretold in the Ace one)

Sam: I have a penchant for finding or somehow receiving the randomest shit:

I have 6 pool sticks yet no pool table,

A Hunting Bullet from 1947 and a Modern Handgun bullet (both found in the woods pretty close to eachother while camping)

Jeff the Third Croc (A bright orange mens size 11 croc I acquired in the woods while ironically wearing bright orange crocs)

3 Mardi gras Masks (I’m from Northeastern America and have never attended Mardi gras)

A 1923 Copy of the complete works of Shakesphere.

A weird necklace someone gave me that looks like some amulet thing in a movie.

An old fashioned wall phone with no wall or numbers.

A Tsuyu Asui figurine that glows in the dark for some reason, it wasn’t advertised to do so. (Nuclear Weapon?)

Several pieces of shattered Ancient Clay pots I found and tried to put back together.

A piece of coral with a whole ass plant growing from it.

5 pounds of mostly artwork and a rock from a friend (art of their ocs.)

A gigantic Blue and gold sombrero (and the sombrero case it came with)

Coyote skull from my Texan Friend (She apparently killed it herself which makes me more confused and concerned on why she gave me its skull)

A broken fishing rod me and two friends chain linked together to pull out of a lake.

And some other weird shit.

Crewel : I used to love giant fluffy coats and still do. Will wear them in the summer.

Vargas : I walked to school in a t-shirt, shorts and flip-flops during a blizzard to prove something (I don’t remember what)

Bonus: On my first day at my new school last year , I climbed to the roof and jokingly yelled down to my friend “I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!”, then threw an eraser at him.

Also apparently I’m the first student to ever get to the roof and not get caught, yet here I am self incriminating myself. Oh well.

Trein: Wrote over 100,000 words in an essay out of spite.

———

I still have more dumb shit I’ve experienced but I have once more run out of characters.

Stupid Shit I’ve done/Gotten myself into by accident/been dragged into as Twisted Wonderland Characters:

—————-

Ace : Heard my sister screaming bloody murder downstairs and didn’t do shit because I assumed she was watching a horror movie. Turns out there was a fire in the oven.

Bonus: Sniped my friend in the eye from across the Cafeteria with a Ketchup Packet, Meant to hit his glasses, but he repositioned them at the last second.

Deuce: Answered Maine four times on a Historical Geography test and was wrong all four times.

Cater: Threw my phone out of the window in a panic after seeing one of my Idols followed me back.

Bonus : Accidentally convinced a transfer camper from Wales I was from London after I quoted something in the accent to myself in the showers and was too awkward to tell them I wasn’t when they struck up the conversation.

(I am from America, and the camp is in America.)

Trey: Accidentally created a puddle of Dark Red Icing and Stepped in it four times in a row while making a cake at 2 am.

Bonus : Befriended and helped out the owner of a French Bakery down the street when they started out, they ended up becoming really popular (rightfully so, her stuff is amazing) and now I either get free shit and/or Friends and Family Discounts.

Riddle : I have read the dictionary on multiple occasions out of sheer boredom.

Bonus: I once read the bible and marked down verses. Im not religious I just needed to win an argument.

Leona: Slept through an earthquake and 3 ambulances coming to my house bcs my sister was hurt.

Ruggie: Waited for families going inside to pass by and asked them to hold the door for me so I could sneak into a VIP rooms for free food. (Usually only at fancy hotels but luckily this strategy is flexible when your 5’2 with a baby face.)

Jack: Used to Smash open large rocks containing Crystals or Quartz at the beach as a kid, and now I have a large collection of them.

Bonus: I have extremely good hearing, to the point I hear into the negative decibels up to -15 - -20 (according to the audiologist this is rare but i literally don’t know shit about audio and decibels) so my old dormmates used to try and bribe me to tell them what I heard about certain things or themselves.

Bonus 2: Almost got shot by an illegal hunter while in the woods with my sister.

Floyd : Cracked my skull open at the pool, lost consciousness for a few seconds and woke up in the water calling for help, then got confused on why I was calling for help.

Bonus : A Sea lion once came up to me while I was scuba diving and did little circles, bumped its snout on my mask and just followed me the whole time in a very gleeful manner as a temporary homie.

Bonus 2: Apparently ate / took bites of my moms library books as a little kid (????) according to the librarian.

Jade: Taught myself to untie my hands with my hands behind my back, tie by hands behind my back with my hands behind my back, deciphered, translated and memorized a fictional hieroglyphic language, Read from Act 1 to Act 6 of Homestuck, and accidentally discovered how to disguise Chocolate Ice Cream as Pistachio; all within the span of 2 weeks. (I had covid and was A-Symptomatic)

Bonus : Lived in the Woods for 7 months (in total), had a large bag of mica and Almost Drowned in a tent when there was no moving water nor rain. (Basically, I was asleep, Woke up underwater, nearly went back to bed, then shot out of my tent screaming “My Tent Titanticed!” )

(It was like 3 am don’t judge me)

Azul: Somehow ended up with $2200 dollars in $100s in Monopoly at the end of the game. Also have been stuck between two identical twins while talking with both and boi that shits TRIPPY. (I also almost died with them later but it was fine)

Bonus: I lived on a middle of fuck knows where island during the spring and summer up until covid, yet I absolutely despise eating fish or Shellfish, and the smell often makes me nauseous.

(Bonus 2: I love shiny things, but very specifically fancy looking keys. I also had a weird obsession with signing a shiny contract after watching Ariel. Another tiny thing Is I own a Flotsam and Jetsam Scarf which I chuck around when Floyd or Jade pisses me off ingame.)

Kalim : Got distracted by a cool leaf while at a fancy resort in Xatapa, Mexico, and waddled off from my parents and explored around to try and find more, somehow managed to get extremely far and ended up lost in a whole different city for 6 hours while trying to find my way back.

Bonus 1: I had an obsession with Kiwis for awhile as a kid, and our neighbors house had a Pangium tree that reached over to our yard. (It was planted before either families moved in so we didn’t know) I thought it was some kind of strange Kiwi and ate one. I didn’t like it and was like “Oh maybe its not ripe” and waited 3-5 months then tried it again, same reaction, repeat process one more time.

I went to my parents out of curiosity and asked them what it was, and so after some process I am unaware of but I think my mom brought one of the fruits somewhere, we discovered what it was.

Pangium contains Fatal amounts of Cyanide if not properly prepared. I was fine but for the love of anything please don’t try eating it like little me did.

Bonus 2: I’ve Almost died more times than I can count on both hands and feet. Im not an heir or something fancy I just have wackass luck.

Jamil: Once had to talk my sister out of jumping off a tour boat because our cousin dared her to.

Bonus : Managed to make French Toast in the middle of the woods with Dehydrated Milk, Cinnamon, Three Eggs I stole, and a loaf of bread we got once a month. Also made 3 kinds marinated chicken in the middle of the woods.

(My Cooking Style is literally “just trust me bro.” I’m like Lilia except it actually works and is edible)

Epel : Whenever we went applepicking at my Grandfathers house, I’d climb into the trees and throw or pass the apples down. Sometimes I actually wish I could sit in trees more often shits comfy.

Bonus: My Mom was a Champion Horseback Rider as a kid, and sometimes took us to this Dude Ranch I shall not name for my own privacy, but I’d run around with this group of kids and this one herding dog like a damn movie protagonist, sometimes go riding horses, or the one time we stole a tractor and near crashed it (THE REGRETS I STILL HAVE-) etc.

The WHIPLASH from that to going back to a whitewashed Northeast suburban town is insane.

Rook: My Cousins and I, and sometimes the kids at the priorly mentioned ranch, would play the most intense games of manhunt (basically really intense hide n seek at night) ,

I mean wearing camo if you had it, alliances, little dollar store walkie-talkies, code words, binoculars, climbing in trees or hiding in bushes/tall grasses/Hay to “scout”.

I hid in a large pot/vase more than once and another time on a roof, and (ONLY ONCE, DO NOT DO THIS IM STUPID) under a car.

I still remain the top in last man standing points. Mostly bcs I’m stingy with rescues but shhh

Vil - Accidentally poured a lot of liquid eyeliner into my eye, was literally crying out Eyeliner for 30 minutes. Also taught myself to run and jump in heels as a kid because I thought it looked cool in movies.

Ortho : Unknowingly was Hacking my Elementary School Databank for several years,

I genuinely thought it was normal to go on the school website, press a few buttons and be able to find a friends address if I had a playdate and needed to tell my mom where the house was, a parents phone number if needed communication with my friends parents , and mostly ignored the other general info.

I didn’t even know I did this until my dad told me a few months ago that I almost got suspended for it but by the time they found out it was the end of my last year there. ;—;

Idia: Accidentally acquired both a Nahida and Eula in Genshin and was genuinely annoyed at the time, they are now my most powerful DPS’s…

Bonus : I own a shit ton of original Japanese first edition Pokemon Cards my cousin gave me, (they are probably worth more than me which is neat), and I have a giant pile of Pokemon plushies I have infact fallen asleep on or in on multiple occasions.

Bonus 2: I was playing Breath of the Wild, and my very first thing I did after getting off the plateau was beeline for the castle. I actually got all the way up and took out 2 blights but the Wind one kicked my ass.

Bonus 3: Got confessed to and asked out by a guy I did not like nor knew very well, and I panicked, said “Maybe, Sorry no.” And ran into a wall. Also have crawled through a chute to avoid an awkward situation as a kid (do not recommend its dusty and definitely not safe)

Bonus 4: Once didn’t sleep for 5 days.

Malleus : Accidentally attended a Private Party and a Private Funeral in the same week. I was not invited nor knew anyone present. Stayed there for most of it because I was too nervous to say I wasn’t supposed to be there. Whoop.

Bonus: Got nicknamed the “Trip Curse.” By my Old Dormmates because everytime I went on a trip with them everything seemed to go to shit or get hella chaotic.

Bonus 2: Another camping one: Once woke up at night with a shit ton of fireflies just chilling in my tent. It was serene but also I genuinely thought I was hallucinating for a few minutes.

Lilia: Literally will hang upside down anywhere I can, its so fun bro.

Bonus : I know an extremely large amount of useless historical information, and once genuinely realized I know more about poison than what flour and eggs are used for in baking.

Silver : Once befriended a wild horse ( Im like 90% sure he was a Chestnut).

I called him Clover the Dog like horse because he was honestly just a golden retriever in the body of a horse.

This is great and theres alot of sweet moments, but then theres the times you have a giant horse galloping full speed at you for attention or trying to nudge you affectionately and nearly pushing you into a creek in the process.

Sebek: Got groundstruck by lightning once. Also I am often told I have a loud voice.

Che’nya : a good friend of mine and I have an inside joke at school where if we see eachother through a window (my school has alot of indoor windows for some reason?), we’ll text the other “Behind you.” Or “To your left.”

——————-

Theres more things I can think of but I have run out of characters and this is getting too long, so ye!

Ok but imagine pulling up to deliver something to a random ass cottage in the woods bcs some weirdo with black and pink hair purchased it and then you see a gigantic dragon playing with two tiny children.

Like the TERROR of some poor underpaid delivery guy.

@hanafubukki this is your fault. Hana. This is your fault Hana. HANA.

(I'm joking of course I love you)

Anyway have a BIG brother Mal 🥰

JFJYNKKF THIS IS SO AMAZING!

Im glad you’re enjoying my Che’nya discourse nonsense!

You can just call me Blue btw!

Blue, The Alice in Wonderland expert (and Che’nya enthusiast :)

Random thought, but y’know how with some of the extra character event cards (ex: Rollo), its said their a transfer, or something of the sort?

Imagine if we got a Che’nya card with that idea.

Che’nya as Ramshackles Vice Housewarden, Ramshackle being the true cat dorm.

(Riddles gonna kill us for letting his chaotic childhood friend on campus in a rule abiding way)

Imagine how terrifying it would be to live with him though. You never know when this man is gonna pop up out of thin air to scare the living shit out of you.

Like you’re just opening the fridge, and Che’nyas disembodied head and hands are just….in there?!? Eating the leftovers?!?

Or just on the couch and you feel something on your shoulder, you turn, nothing there, this repeats for hours until you get up to yell at him, and theres nothing there, and you can only hear his voice laughing.

Or you wake up and just two bright yellow glowing cat eyes are staring at you from the ceiling.

Or like

“Che’nya, can you do your chore- DON’T YOU TELEPORT AWAY-“

“Please stop terrorizing Grim, he set the couch on fire.”

“Che’nya, why is Riddle at the door claiming you stole Heartstabyls fri—CHE’NYA HOW DID YOU EVEN— THE WHOLE FUCKING FRIDGE?! -oh my god he’s gonna kill us.”

“If I find one more random body part of yours floating around the house I swear to god.”

Just some thoughts I suppose!

Have a Great Day/ Night!

HI! Che’nya Anon (not so much anymore, I have chosen to reveal myself in an attempt at confidence). Here! AGAIN. SORRY.

Remember how we mentioned darker fic ideas?. Well I just realized something.

It is completely and totally possible for Che’nya to be around someone invisibly 24/7.

Footsteps? Just Fly.

Someone or Something walking/heading straight in his direction? Pop off limbs and move around it.

Doors or Locks? Teleportation. Or fly through a chimney or vent if you’re feeling silly.

I got this idea from how he so conveniently shows up out of nowhere the second MC and Co. needed a lead in taking down Riddle

.——

Also semi- unrelated, but I noticed every single chapter name tries to rhyme itself with the one before or after it.

Also did you know in the end scene in the original Alice in Wonderland, when she’s running through the tunnel that suspiciously has the Cheshire cats colors and stripes, the Cheshire Cat is the only one NOT present in trying to chase her to keep her in Wonderland?

Plus, In “Into the Looking Glass.”, We see the Cheshire cat has the powers of Shapeshifting into other people, so who’s to say it was really Silver that Mickey saw..?

Quick fun fact before I go: Did you know the “Grinning like a Cheshire Cat” and its method of disappearing (Tail first, then body, then Grin) is based off an old Cheese Trend in Cheshire England?

Also “Mad as a Hatter” comes from the fact many Hatters (Hat Makers) at the time worked with Mercury, of which its poisoning drove them insane :)

Anyway, Toodles!

Have a Great Day/Night!

CHE’NYA ANON REVEAL THIS IS NOT A DRILL‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

HIII NICE TO MEET YOU AHAHEKWKWKWK do you have any name you’ll like me to address you as? Or I don’t mind calling you Che’nya’s… I mean Che’nya Anon-

More Che’nya discussion… man I’m starting to have a thing for this man- BUT OH MY GOD INVISIBLE 24/7??? WITH NO DRAWBACKS???? SCIENTISTS HATE THIS MAN!!!!! HE ROLLS HIS HEAD ON THEIR OVERBLOT RESEARCH AND TELEPORTS AWAY LAUGHING HOLY SHIT

You dissected the Heartsabyul chapter. Ate and left no CRUMBS!!!!!! You’re the Alice in wonderland expert my goodness…. But Che’nya being able to teleport you wherever you want to go is an idea.

Him trapping you in a wonderland of his own making, where every door you fling open, every window you clamber out of, even the air ducts you squeeze your way in…. All end up coming back to him.

Where are you going, sweetheart? Scampering around like a cute lil’ hamster, desperately trying to escape from this twisted wonderland. Che’nya just thinks it’s so adorable, the way you have such futile hopes about your plan working this time.

He allows a little slip up or two, just to give you some hope. Let you feel the sun’s warmth on your cheeks once more… before his arms slip around your waist, dragging you back into his stifling embrace. There’s nothing more satisfying then watching the hope drain from your expression, replaced by your quivering lips, your devastated face.

Aw, why do you look so disappointed, sweetheart? Che’nya told you he’ll find you in the end, didn’t he? Have you had enough fun with your little games? Gotten everything out of your system?

Good, good. Now, both of you should be heading home.

No matter where you run off to, or how wildly you struggle, it’s not as if you could hurt Che’nya anyways. You’re simply a hamster stuck in a cage, running circles around the same four walls. Again, and again, and again.

Well, not that Che’nya minds too much. It’ll be a little boring without your escapes. It serves as a form of entertainment for him, if nothing else.

But at the end of the day, when you’re exhausted from the fight, when you just collapse into his arms…. Che’nya’s a little more fond of that pathetic, adorable you.

I agree, one, because his appearance is not like he’s a little kid, and Its noted by himself and other characters that yes, he has a youthful appearance, but not so much so that people think it all to unbelievable for him to be a Third Year, and the non-fae 3rd years are around 18-19 if I’m not wrong?

Two, like you pointed out, its more of a gag then anything else.

I think they created that gag on the fact if they were talking a Bat in inspiration with his character design, then a shorter than average height, smaller head, and bigger, wider eyes was inevitable, which are both commonly used design traits for more youthful characters, and since he’s literally the oldest in the original playable cast, so they probably thought it would be a fun joke.

I’ve also noticed it’s used as a plot piece to have the other characters not believe his age even if told. I can’t remember if it was Trey or Lilias Vignette but their working together on a history project, and Lilia basically does the equivalent of drop several years worth of forgotten history about it, and directly references that he is really fucking old, and Trey basically just goes “Haha sure you are Lilia. Where did you learn all that?”

It’s actually pretty clever on his part, because by doing this, the other characters don’t question if he’s actually the age he’s supposed to be, even when he’s he’s so oddly mature and knowledgeable about things way before that time. They’re just like “Hahaha yea Lilia just likes acting old as a joke, he’s a huge history buff. Theres literally no way he’s 500+”

As someone who is recently 18 with extreme babyface and a short height, I too am not above using it for mild gain in certain situations and let me tell you, I’ve gotten away with CRAZZZY shit, so I can verify the effectiveness of this method.

Not too recently because I am a hobbit most of the time, but there have been alot of times I snuck into places by saying my parents were in there, gotten to eat off the kids menu ( ONLY BECAUSE WHY THE F**K CAN ONLY LITTLE KIDS ORDER CHICKEN TENDERS THATS STUPID??) or waiting for a family to pass and rush up so they hold the door so I can get into hotel members club rooms and shit.

I successfully infiltrated the rich (a yacht club) with this method while my actual dad was literally a block away talking with some relatives.

(I got bored and Free Food is Free Food ok.)

Anyway, shOtocon is entirely different in this regard. Their designs are deliberately made childlike and s*xualized, and use the “oh their 5000+” as a built in excuse more than a gag or plot device. Theres also often no world build or plot based reason for it either, and the purpose the character serves in the story can usually very easily be replaced by a full grown adult.

It’s just there because the creators are unfortunately either creeps, or hoping to monetize off creeps.

Sorry I yap alot but IN CONCLUSION I AGREE WITH YOU. I’m not really a romanticizer so i’m more going entirely off logic here! Correct me on anything if needed :D

Is it weird that I don't see people liking Lilia romantically as strange people? I mean yeah, he looks like a kid but I feel like throughout the whole story, he's a full grown adult and I mean LITERALLY.

He has taken care of two kids and been to war. He still mentors his kids too.

I feel like him looking like a kid is more of a funny gag rather than how the usual anime media does with their 5000 year old kid looking demon girls. He's like one of the characters that make it at least funny and not sexualized.

I'm not defending sh0tac0n or anything like that. I just feel like the trope of having a child looking 30000 year old grandpa would work so much if it was just for comedy and not for people's disgusting desires for children.

Stupid Shit I’ve done/Gotten myself into by accident/been dragged into as Twisted Wonderland Characters:

Trey- Rolling Pin and Old Baking Sheet

Riddle- Carving Knife + Croquet Mallet

I’m about to sound batshit insane and this is going to be some MatPat sounding shit but here we go anyway.

WARNING‼️⚠️ MAJOR BOOK 7 SPOILERS AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

———————

I just made the realization that Che’nyas UM and already natural abilities we’ve seen puts him in a position to be deadass playing the Floor is Lava with Malleus as the lava rn.

They wouldn’t have told us his UM in the main story if it didn’t matter somehow. They had the opportunity to show us Neiges in Rooks dream, yet didn’t, so it isn’t a heres RSA UMs for for shits and giggles thing, and we don’t know ANY of the teachers UMs, so it isn’t a “filling npc” thing either.

In EVENTS, we learn the UMs of only the very important and/or dangerous characters. Rollo, Skully, and Fellow. (Geez, Halloween trio now that I think of it).

Do we know Dylia Spades? No. Do we know Eric Schronheits? No. Do we know Ambrose the 3rds? No. Do we know Elizas? No, we get slapped. Do we know Najima Vipers? No. (She might not have one yet tho but still).

These characters are all confirmed as mages, or not directly said to be magicless, so it’s fair to assume they are mages.

So they told us Che’nyas UM for a reason. Why?

Like if his UM makes him invulnerable to magic/attack and invisible, and straight up on ANOTHER PLANE OF EXISTENCE, then if he’s not technically “all there”, Malleus wouldn’t be able to sense him.

Plus, this would explain how Orthos body was floating on the water when STYX found it, as when we know Orthos HEAVY AF, and would more than likely sink, since I doubt they had the time to build in something inflatable enough to balance that weight.

To boot, Ortho was at the docks, which from the map, is super close to RSA.

For reference:

(Both normally and under Mals spell)

The Cheshire Cat is the one who gets Alice out of Wonderland (In the movie, the tunnel Alice runs through matches the Cheshire cats color and stripes + He’s the only one not chasing her+ in the OG book, the Cheshire Cat is more of a Guide and the only one who really sticks with and helps Alice for the whole shabang), and if he’s in RSA, then I think the writers know that.

Aswell as the fact Che’nya appears in both Books with “Tyrant” in the name, and the Cheshire Cat is the only person completely immune to the Queen of Hearts control, as the second most powerful being in wonderland next to LITERALLY TIME ITSELF.

Look in most Disney Villain Line-Ups, and you’ll find the Cheshire Cat. Why? Marketing, the Cheshire Cats a popular character that isn’t directly portrayed as a hero, and more as a mysterious reoccurring character that isn’t necessarily seen as a helper unless you squint.

Additionally, we’ve seen Che’nya use flight, self gravity control, teleportation(unconfirmed but implied on that one) and use his UM for extremely long periods of time, and now that I think of it, we’ve never seen it wear him down, even without the lack of a magestone on his design.

And anyway, in the manga, he’s been doing such things since before we meet him for the first time at age 8-9 from Rids perspective.

Which means long enough that he basically has full control over it at that age, so probably either since birth or very, very young.

Which gives us the know that unlocked his UM way before meeting Riddle and mastered it, which means likely as a literal toddler woke up one day and went “Hey what if I just fucked off to another plane of existence and became both invisible and invulnerable, while capable of movement and communication on this plane the whole time.”

Now back to Book 7.

So heres what caught my attention, Silver mentions the only people he can pop into the dreams of are people he has connections with.

Seeing as we get Sebek first crack out of the box, and then Lilia, this makes sense.

However, it falls off when the next people start to be people Silver either doesn’t know, or very loosely knows.

Yes, I understand the commercial and writing point is meant to be a dorm countdown, but it would make far more sense to be a Russian Roulette, kind of upping the anticipation of whos next.

But to me, with what we know of Silvers connections, it would make far more sense to have the second years be first after Dia, then maybe the third years that he knows because of Lilia, and finally the first years, still leaving room for Ace to get his UM towards the very end.

Now if we drive this back to my Che’nya playing Yuu’s guardian angel theory, it would make more sense to start with Pomfieore after Igi, because not only is it recent connections, so probably easier to bring to the forefront of Silvers UM, it gives him time to get up to NRC right after pushing Ortho or simply getting him out safely.

Before you mention malleus’s barrier, Che’nya gets past NRCs barrier that took STYX heavy power shots to break like its every other tuesday, without Crowleys notice aswell, he stands a viable chance of slipping past Malleus’s.

If he can jump to another plane of existence in which he is invulnerable to magic, theres nothing stopping him from sliding past to get Ortho out and slipping back in under Malleus’s nose.

It also gives him a good “oh shit” moment and an idea of the root of whats happening.

And if I’m wrong and he can’t teleport, he can latch on to Malleus (possibly referencing the Cheshire Cat latching onto the Queens back after she gets a card solider executed I think) to teleport with him back to NRC.

With that, he could be preventing Silver OBing by basically shattering the shade/phantom before it can even do anything, while also hiding Idia being awake. That, or basically lending Silver magic enough to keep going while praying to god Mal doesn’t notice.

Lilia playing the worlds most dangerous game of tag with Mal in dreamland gives him the distraction he needs for this aswell, and it could be that everything went to shit around Trey-Riddles Dreams, and Che’nya popped in to speed up the process and or Dream Che’nyas revealing his UM kinda got his ass caught by Mal, or caused Mal to finally detect a disturbance in the force.

So if I’m right with the previously theorized Guardian Angel thing, Che’nya could be hotwiring Silvers UM to send Silver and co to the people he remembers helped Yuu and the rest recently without risking Malleus putting two and two together on who could be fucking with the dreams other than Silver, depending on how he was portrayed in Trey and Rids Dreams.

Though it would be hilarious if with the Floor is Lavaing it he was also Night at the Musueming it and just repeatedly moved each dreamer closer to Silver physically so they’d have a physical connection (like pinky to pinky or head to head) and basically had Malleus doing a eyebrow raise everytime he turned around trying to figure out if that person had been moved or he was seeing things until he realized there was an exponentially large group around Silver that definitely wasn’t there before.

Another thing: We know the Three Good Fairies weren’t affected by Maleficent’s curse and are the ones to untie Philip when he’s caught and give him the Sword and Shield, which his has, and loses all but the sword in the fight against Maleficent, the Sword and Shield which in the Og twst Trailer that scene is likely referenced by Silver as the Sword (duh) and Sebek as the Shield, with Lilia where Philip would be, although his arm is raised higher.

You kinda have to flip Sebek and Silvers positions but yea.

Sebek being Virtue is self explanatory. He strives to have the virtue of a knight worth of Malleus, and shows this in many ways, but his faults are his rudeness, arrogance, biased or generally rude assumptions, and overexaggertion, stemming from his own internilzed racism (or speciesism? I guess?) , which lead many others to not want to be around him, deflecting the truth of his heritage as to not focus on his own insecurities like a shield to an attack, no matter who its from, in a way.

Now that he has begun to bond and not be as rude to the rest of the non fae cast however, he ends up passing out? Like how a shield seemingly has no use if its not defending, unless you get real creative with it (Its Reyn time I mean who said that)

Silver balances this out as truth, as he is someone we see is honest to almost no fault. His UM also shows truth, in its own way, by showing the truth of the desires of those around him. However, a truth has also been held directly from him, aka the truth of his birth, and the undeniable truth that to break the curse upon him, Lilia did have to truly love him, even as the child of his friends killer.

So he is both benefited and harmed by truth, just like how the same sword can both protect and kill, it just depends on who wields it.

Anyway, back to the point at hand, Now that Malleus seemingly has the time to go and pull a FNAF 4 at Idias door, the odds are Lilia may have somehow gotten caught or restrained (like Phillip is) for enough time to have Malleus notice the Shrouds are pulling shenanigans on his private dream servers and feel the need to go confirm this.

The way in the movie the Three Good Fairies are caught hiding Aurora by Maleficent in the first place is by getting too cocky on the day before Aurora’s B-day and using magic like crazy, fixing up and making their “gifts” much better, as they didn’t know how to create them without magic.

These gifts? A Cake by the GREEN fairy, the calmest and most mature of the three: Fauna, and a Dress, which the RED AND BLUE FAIRIES Merryweather (the most rebellious yet sensical) and Flora (the leader, most work focused and overconfident) keep fighting over which color it should be, Pink or Blue.

(I rewatched their scenes and I forgot how much of a fucking MVP Merryweather was, everyone else turning things into rainbows, bubbles and flowers while my girl was out here burning chains, hunting down snitches, turning her mfking ops to stone and had to be physically held back from throwing hands with Maleficent by herself, god bless this tiny blue diva)

Fauna can obviously be placed as Trey here. Calmest, a Cake, Green. Done.

You can combine Flora and Merryweather into the two sides of Riddles Dream, the first being very punk yet sensical lifestyle, the blue, bringing in the sadness of what he desired yet cannot have, and the second half being Flora, the extremes of overconfident and tyrannical leadership, the red of rage, to say.

Red and Blue obv equal Purple, Che’nyas signature color, probably because purple isn’t actually a fucking color. I’m not going to explain the history of purple, but there is not such thing as purple in science, only shades of violet.

Speaking of Pomfieore, the first non dia dreamer group we see, is VIOLET. I said it. (Octavielle is Lavender, so no, not directly purple) Bright Red is Heartstabyl. (Scarabia is Maroon, which is a shade of red, but again, not directly bright red)

Now what I’m going on about here is this: If In the dreams, each dreamers NPC versions of their friends strictly abides by what the dreamer desires them to, how did dream Che’nya not only transfer to both parts of Riddles dream, but also go directly AGAINST the dream and the dreamer?

The dream versions of the others cannot, under any circumstances, break the character the dreamer creates without breaking the dream itself.

We see this in Lilias dream, in Treys, and Deuces. The Senate, Cater and Ace respectively breach the line of what is and isn’t in character for them in the dreamers memory to hold the dreamer within the dream, causing their respective dreamer to wake up sheerly due to the stark contrast.

These characters will go to lengths to keep the dreamer asleep, so how is it that this dream version of Che’nya can do the exact opposite?

And in Treys dream, Che’nya is the only one not practically turned into Eric Cartman variants, which given the fact Cater, certified sweets hater, has too, means that Che’nya, certified sweets stealer, somehow dodged that bullet in Treys subconscious, which breaks the rules set by the dream.

These rules are delicate, seemingly. It takes one too out of character word, one too out of character action to knock the dreamer awake.

So either Trey sees Che’nya as having the self control of a monk (a small scene in manga implies Che’nya steals from the Clovers fridge so often Treys own damn siblings hear the fridge open and assume its him and not their own damn brother, so I doubt that he’d think that) or Che’nya can bypass these rules.

Many of the dreams would have been so much easier if they could conveniently convince the dreamers friends to go up against them for their sake or just to simply help wake them up.

Of all people, the dream version of Ace fucking Trappola actually listening to and abiding by Riddles tyranny and not jumping at the opportunity to S.O.S to Leona, Yuu and co says enough about this as is.

Anyway, what I’m saying here is that Che’nya either got his ass caught, or finally managed to hotwire himself into Silvers UM conga line, which unfortunately left Idia now in Mals notice and Silver becoming more weary from excess UM use.

Just like how the good fairies thought they’d succeeded and jumped the gun with using magic a day early, Chen could have thought that since they made it this far, their clean until further notice, and is gonna feel the hit of it later.

As my phone is dying and I want a fucking nap, this has been Blues randomass rant about Che’nya again.

More at ???? Folks.

Been thinking about the Traveler being reminded of Inazumas War during Natlan, and an Open Arms Reprise I saw/Heard that sparked an idea about Teppei and Vichamas deaths, so i’m about to make it everyone else’s problem.

Spoilers, obviously

————-

With every scrape of blood off the sole of her once gleaming white boots, the sound of every solider and innocent lost being counted in the rest area, she was reminded of flashing lightning.

Of Gorou returning from unsuccessful search and rescues. Of Kokomis deep eye bags, Of….him. He who never got to try on his uniform.

A dash of moonlight reflected on Paimons hair, now drained from all the tears she had shed, wrapped in the blondes scarf.

She had really been with her through everything. The one constant Lumine could always count on.

“Captain?”

The once familiar voice had the outlander turning immediately.

“Teppei?”

Smiling in his Watasumi uniform, the apparition waved happily . As if he had never died. The friendship bracelet made from his first broken dummy still tied neatly as he stood by a crackling blaze.

“Thats me! It’s been awhile, huh? You look pretty tired, you can rest here by my fire, if you want.”

As if in a haze, she moved forward, an in a foolish leap of faith, jumped to hug her fallen friend, silent tears staining his uniform as he returned the embrace.

When she pulled back, the reality came in.

“You’re dead.”

“Yup.”

“Then how..?”

Rubbing the back of his neck, the former soldier looked off to the side.

“Night…uh…Kingdom stuff? I won’t be here for long, but I met this guy in the afterlife, and he mentioned you made it here, so I wanted to check on you! He helped me out.”

“He?”

Another figure fizzled into view. One she had seen only days ago. But this form was mutilated, ripped apart. He couldn’t have….not after..

“Vichama….?”

He didn’t meet her eyes.

“Rifthounds are the worst, aren’t they?”

Prodding the small flame with a stick, the fallen sighed.

“Once this flame goes out, we’ll be gone for good. You can have my stuff if it’s not too destroyed when….if…you get back. I doubt anyone else will want it.”

“The Captain of Swordfish || will definitely make it out! You haven’t seen what she can do! She’s amazing!”

“You’re weirdly positive for someone who died a long and agonizing death, y’know.”

Eyes of gold welled, the onyx haired patting the log next to him.

“You can let it all out while we wait, Captain. The dead tell no tales, right?”

———

And so, Lumine did just that. Told him everything. Sumeru, Fontaine, and what had happened so far in Natlan. Desperately, she didn’t wish for this moment to end. If only she had obtained Pyro from the Statue, she would have made Vichamas Fire burn eternally.

As it began to fade, Teppei rose from his seat, holding out his hand toward her.

“It’s time to keep moving on Captain.”

“…How Teppei?”

Wind was his only response as she took it all in. He was right, and she knew it. As she took his hand, Vichama cut in.

“I….I know you’re probably tired of all this war and bloodshed, but you’ve got the chance to have a life to live. Someone once told me to Keep them in their heart to bring them home.”

“He’s right! And give all the kindness you can, well, if you can.”

Carefully handing Paimon into her arms, the Inazumian smiled weakly.

“Remember how even during the war, our friendship still made us both feel happy and warm? Don’t give up on making friends like me again.”

The Verdette now stood, his ripped canopy outfit getting stuck on a twig for a moment before he was able to respond.

“And I know from..you know..that you probably might feel like we like we blame you for not being able to save us, but we don’t. Atleast I don’t.”

He faded away first, tossing her a dog-tag necklace with a key attached, leaving just Lumine and Teppei, who admired the mountain view, even in the pitch darkness.

“Y’know, life really is amazing. Everyone takes it for granted until they lose it, so…”

Slipping off his identification tag from around his neck, the deceased pressed it into her hand.

“Even after all this, try to greet the world with Open arms, ok? It’s going to be hard, but I think you’re capable of anything, I really do.”

Just like Vichamas, his visage began to fade, ruffling her hair as he disappeared.

“Thanks for everything, Traveler. I couldn’t have asked for a better Captain, or a better friend.”

One final time, he smiled.

“Goodbye, my friend.”

The fire flickered to nothingness as he vanished.

——-

Paimon stirred, yawning as she shifted around in the swaddle Lumine had made with scarf as the outlander began to prepare the hot air balloon.

“Paimon had this dream about Teppei and Vichama, and a huge war in….”

As she floated to oversee the region from above, the cheeriness in her voice all but faded.

“Oh…Guess Paimon wasn’t dreaming about the war then…is…is it really not over?”

“Not yet Paimon. Soon. Open arms.”

“Open arms? Whats that supposed to mean?”

Yea thats it.

Enjoy.
