hi ego!! i’d really (desperately) like to know what you thought of that last ep7 rhythmic (silver dancing with lilia :’^)) lilia and malleus fighting over which colour silver’s cape should be, malleus dancing with meleanor) cause at that point i was playing that through tears

the rhythmic was so cute! SO CUTE. 😭 the closure, the song...Silver's groovy illustration going with it..."if he's your son, then shouldn't it be PINK :)"..."let's have fun until the very end"...

canon Meleanor chibi...Meleanor watching Malleus dance with everyone and getting a dance herself...Meleanor existing in general...kicking down the doors to my brain to become the only thing I'm capable of thinking about once again...

(though I'm still not over the fact that this is all taking place in the absolute most BONKERS location possible. like, I get it was for Lilia's UM, but also. how did they even get permission for that.)

alas, all the Chuck E. Cheeses were booked solid, so they had to hold it in the remains of the Briar Rose Castle after all. 😔

ALSO the rhythmic does imply that most of the characters are (since they're reacting and interacting with the present) actually spirits and not just memories, which is 1) very sweet of course, allowing for them to put the past to rest and so on, and 2) also extremely funny, considering who all is there and where it's taking place.

(love that nobody gave a fuck about Henrik though. as it should be.)

ANNIVERSARY GROOVY BOYBAND! THEY ALL LOOK SO GOOD, I also love the hades reference with idia! Ik ur probably really swamped with the book 7 brain rot but I wanted to know ur thoughts. I also wanted to mention that I am so card deprived I feel like I need a replacement event to take tsumderlands place

AUGH NO I LOVE THEM. 😭 UGH now I really have to think about if I want to try pulling for Grim again. dangit. heck. I already got his little pedestal to add my guest room shrine, but...now I kinda need the boss himself...

also, the implications of it not being an OB thing, Idia can just. Do That? apparently? do you think he ever just sometimes does it by accident? what am I saying, he absolutely sometimes does it by accident.

gosh though. this event has been SO cute in general! I was wondering who'd get the focus for year 5; I could not be happier that the answer is apparently EVERYBODY. :D all the dorms get their own special songs! so many cute little scenes!!! the lowest of stakes bringing out the highest of pettiness in everyone!!!!!! it's excellent.

(also, because I will make literally anything about my diaboys...I know these events are typically sorta, let's say chronologically unmoored with regards to story. but the further implications that this takes place pre-episode 7/Malleus' Big Existential Crisis, and yet...some of these lines?)

I haven't been keeping up with the latest Book 7 story because I've been hyperfixated on other things but I have seen glimpses of Overblot Magical Girl sequences and the revelation that Idia spent part of his time Making Art Assets for his Ultimate Fourth Wall Demolition Plan to Defeat Malleus Draconia (honestly I respect the commitment lmao) but I would like to know WHAT DO YOU MEAN PHANTOM ORTHO REAPEARED ALONG WITH HIS OWN SONG AND DANCE NUMBER???

ah, I was being perhaps a bit too hyperbolic there, sorry! he does pop out of Tartarus while singing a little fanfare and bopping along to it; it's real cute even though it's pretty quick. really I'm just happy to see him again! I thought his role in the story was done but he had a little more yet to give. :>

Idia and the Orthos getting along like a house (a head?) on fire was definitely one of my top bits, honestly. sometimes brothers can be a tech genius with multiple unresolved childhood traumas, the magic robot simulacrum he built to replace his dead brother, the ghost of said dead brother that only exists as a manifestation of his guilt within the metaphorical dreamscape in which they're trapped, and not one but TWO robot puppies.

IF YOU GO NOW TO SILVER'S PROFILE IT SHOWS "SILVER VANROUGE" I AM!!! NOT OKAY!!! WAUGH

OH MY GOD 😭

like...it wasn't even just "oh we'll call you Silver Vanrouge now", they just straight-up made the adoption official, under the statute of Malleus Says So. he's legally recognized as Lilia's kid! I'm so happy for them!

this may take some getting used to though

Any thoughts on what Azul's sleepwear might be?

the problem is that I'm pretty sure 90% of the time Azul sleeps like this:

and sometimes like this:

which just leads to this:

THE POME AND IGNI MOB DUO ARE OUT IN EN!!!

YES I'm SO glad everyone else was also charmed by these two ridiculous spotlight-stealers and their thirty seconds of stardom. :D

(this was very fast I'm sorry)

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)
