If a girl feels uncomfortable hanging out with you alone, and you get so offended by that, it makes you angry, she probably made the right choice.
Ok so I've been seeing complaints about Book 7's ending by a few minority not only here, but from other platforms as well. While everyone is of course allowed to dislike something, let's tackle a few points:
Malleus deserved a harsher punishment
Everyone witnessed Diasomnia's moment. Everybody knew he accidentally killed Lilia. Everyone knows how much Lilia means to Malleus. So everyone knows that there's no punishment harsher than the eternal scar of accidentally killing your own father.
And that's not enough, because he lost majority of his power. THIS is his prolonged punishment. We should remember that his entire life revolved around being the strongest, so all of his foundation hinged on that. If you're an artist, it's like losing your dominant hand and having to relearn how to draw with your other. Except in his case it's like losing both his hands so he needs to learn how to draw with his feet.
While it's true that he's far happier now than he was when he was strong, that doesn't mean he won't go through so much suffering as a consequence. For 200 years. 200 years of being weak means he's not fit to be king; no Dark Fae will follow a man akin to a common Fae. His nobles will not respect him. He's now a very easy target, since he's not indestructible anymore.
This basically means he's currently a pretty decoration to Briar Valley. An unemployed trust fund kid. Random people will likely mock him or treat him like an amusing animal in a zoo.
Which means he will have to build his reputation from the ground up, against all odds, as a disgraced prince.
Malleus tried to kill x and x
No he did not. He genuinely thought he found a breakthrough and was doing the world a service by making immortality accessible to everyone. Remember that he used to be the strongest; he thought nobody was just capable of this feat until he did.
He was quite literally insane at that moment. When he did accidentally kill Lilia, he snapped to his senses and immediately reacted like a small child. He doesn't want to believe it, because he would never do something like that. He simply doesn't want to kill anyone-- what he wanted was the opposite: that nobody needs to die anymore.
Everybody left him off the hook so easily
We get a lot of scenes explaining this. Sure maybe for you their reasons are bullshit, but the fact is that this is a Disney story. He would never be executed. But the following are from different accounts from different characters.
There were actually very few injured, because even though he was insane in dragon form, a part of his morality was there and he unconsciously avoided hurting people as much as possible. There are more injuries that happen in Spelldrive than who Malleus injured, according to Epel.
For the rest of the student body, they were simply having the best dreams of their lives. Many compared to it an amusement park and want to experience it again.
The other overblotters tried to protest, but were reminded that they too almost killed people. Some were genuinely out to kill people while Malleus wasn't.
Most people on Sage Island are actually good people, unlike NRC students. They embody the values of Fantasia Mickey, where the apprentice was given a second chance instead of being exiled because he showed actual remorse.
He is entitled and thinks he's always right
Yes he's entitled. But that's part of his character. He thought he was right, insisted he was right, but when he was defeated and told otherwise, he accepted it wholeheartedly. He was the only overblotter who actually apologized in public, recognized he did wrong, thanked everyone for helping him, and swore he will become a better man.
He literally can't take back anything that's happened. Kicking him further will not achieve anything.
Why didn't he talk it out with Yuu instead of immediately jumping to overblot
He doesn't even understand that he's feeling something negative. Nobody taught him to recognize his own feelings. He was raised to be strong and independent, so his first instinct was to deal with the problem himself.
He can't even talk it out with Lilia and Silver; there was no way he could talk it out to a friend he just met that year.
His power literally hurts his surroundings when he tries to feel things. He's likely afraid of accidentally striking someone with lightning or drowning them in storms if he admits that he's feeling down.
He didn't know too much negative feelings could lead to an overblot. He was already out of his mind before he knew it.
There could be more but these are off the top of my head.
š Your Kindness is Keeping Us Alive
My name is Mosab, and my world has been shattered. I have lost 25 of my family members in this war. Every single day is a painful reminder of what weāve lost and how much we are struggling to survive.
But you have been our light in the darkness. We have reached $3,300 in donations, and I cannot begin to express my gratitude. This support has meant shelter, food, and hope. It has meant knowing that someone out there cares.
š The grief is suffocating. Losing 25 people is a loss that can never truly heal. š„ The future is uncertain, but we are still here.
Even a $5 donation could be life-changing for us. If you canāt donate, simply sharing this post could mean finding someone who can.
I donāt have the words to express how much your kindness means to us. Thank you for not letting us feel invisible.
With endless gratitude, Mosab & Family ā¤ļø
And that's so annoying for real women as well, really made me uncomfortable even as a child
Itās wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. Thereās a ābulgeā in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the āmarkersā of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman arenāt even things unique to trans women.
āManners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.ā

I'm crying
If you donāt love me at my worstā¦
You donāt deserve me at my best
Im sorry. Iām still not over the fact this is actually canonā¦

Twisted wonderland guys that i think sympathy cry if someone they know/are close to/like starts crying
- ROOK (cries harder than you, will cry with you about anything)
-Sebek (freezes up, gets teary eyed too and depending on how bad it is will cry louder than you, high-key prioritizes comfort during tears, a task- helping you in this case- will distract him from crying)
-Kalim
-Ace* (he is trying very very hard not to but if yuu is crying and like genuinely feeling sad about certain topics- self worth, stress from all the crap their doing, and generally things that are stark reminders of the fact they're not from wonderland - he will cry. He will tease you if the tears are from like a movie etc - ignore that he's low-key crying too)
-Deuce (stressed, gets teary eyed)
Honorary mentions
-Floyd (toss up between immediately on alert and wanting to help but getting frustrated if he can't figure it out fast enough and wanting to punch out whatever is causing you stress or panicking, trying to help and then crying too cause eventually the sympathy tears got to him
-Azul (freezes up, panics, tries to help, will eventually cry depending on how severe the crying is and what's going on. Not guaranteed though, prioritizes comforting you and getting you out of sight of others)
The rest of the guys feel more so quick to panic or freeze up before trying to comfort rather than sympathy cry but open to ideas lol
As soon as I saw Sympathy criers, i instantly thought of Kalim, he don't even need an explanation.

Wait wait wait Iām going to be sick
This line from Meleanor gets made fun of a lot, because really- regular Malleus is pretty much a carbon copy of her (photo above from @/rayroseu)
But Iāve never been able to let go of General Liliaās line- the SECOND he saw Overblot! Malleus, he briefly saw RAVERNE. And Malleus looks different- you can no longer see his longer strands of hair, and his hair has become almost pitch black. His appearance looks farther and farther away from his mother, to the point that LILIA, who grew up with and loved both Raverne and Meleanor- saw RAVERNE in himā¦but the horns were Meleanorās.
But nowā¦? Papa Shroud is suggesting that the horns are a vital organ connecting to Malleusā vast magical power. And now Silver and Sebek are preparing themselves to damage, or maybe even destroy Malleusā horns, in hopes of defeating him
What ifā¦What if Meleanorās wish is coming true? Malleus, over time, IS indeed āgrowingā to be a man as ābeautiful as Raverne.ā His hair appears short, his hair is black, and nowā¦his horns might be destroyed. A look that imitates Diaval, who may be the inspiration for Raverne.
ā¦Meleanorās wish is accidentally coming true? š Malleus will look like his father more than ever beforeā¦when he is Overblotted, when he is slowly dying, and now faces the threat of his horns being destroyed and magic weakened. But he will be a man of great beauty, just like Raverne
