Hello world! Just a multi fandom fan chilling in my corner. Being honest, Twisted Wonderland has a chokehold on me right now so it's mainly that.
Other brainrot consists of RotTMNT, Yugioh, and whatever else I randomly start thinking about at 6AM.

Malleus sends all of Sage’s Island to sleep in Book 7 so that they might enjoy “unending happiness...without sorrow, where you will never lose a single person—not friends, not family.”
For Idia this seems to manifest as a dream world where human-Otho is alive and starting his first year at Royal Sword Academy, and Idia begins his third year at Night Raven College.
After a phone call with Ortho he enjoys an entire day of online gaming with Muscle Red.
We then see a recreation of Idia’s first day at NRC: he runs into Malleus in the courtyard just as he did in reality, but this time they have a conversation about Roaring Drago, and Malleus has not forgotten about orientation.
Originally Idia becomes flustered when Malleus seems to be mocking his anxiety and runs away to his dorm room, breaking a promise to robot-Ortho that they would attend the ceremony together.
In his dream they are joined by Lilia, and seem to all go to the ceremony together. Idia may have a vice-housewarden in his dream.
Both Idia and Leona reflect on how the ceremony was “as boring as ever” (Idia: “Nothing happening is the ideal scenario”), insinuating that neither Grim nor the prefect exist in Idia’s idillic dream.
Idia has another phone conversation with Ortho, commenting, “You’re an extrovert, unlike me…I’m happy for you.”
(It is not uncommon for EN to adjust dialogue that references the characters ages, also seen in Book 6 and Phantom Bride.)
Original Epel: That’s 16:00!
EN Epel: Now you’ve set it for 16:00! How’d you even get it on 24-hour time?
(Maybe it is unusual for 24-hour time to be used outside of Japan, so this line was added to explain.)
This was the cronut’s first appearance in the original game but its second appearance one EN, as cream breads were changed to cronuts back in Book 2.
Credit to Twitter's Kanna for noticing that the original game’s “White Rabbit Home Delivery” was changed to “White Rabbit Deliveries” on EN, and “White Rabbit Festival” was changed to “White Rabbit Fest.”
Original Epel: Scythe Duke!!!
EN Epel: Cold One Duke!
("Scythe" becoming "Cold One," explained here!)
In the original game Deuce needed to eat one of two sides of a large mushroom, changed to bread for EN.
The original lines are a direct homage to Disney's Alice in Wonderland!
Likely removed for language limitations, the Black Bunny leader switches mid-sentence from saying "Deuce-san" to "Aniki."
Jack asks Ruggie's permission to call him "aniki" in a vignette, and Leona and Ace use it to refer to their older brothers. It is also how lower-ranking gang members refer to those above them in the hierarchy.
Moment of silence for BALD! (hatless from Phantom Bride and technically ceremonial robes) and Mad Scientist Era (those Science Club goggles), which didn't fit on the poll.

Sebek always seems to look happiest when he is talking about or to Malleus. When Sebek declares, “I will do everything within my power to serve you" on his first day of school Malleus responds, “I…see. Then I’ll expect nothing less.”

Why do you think they put Savannah Claw Rook up to pull??? Is he even going to participate in Book 7???? I am so confused WHY HIM??? WHY NOT IDK, CREWEL? VARGAS? MAYBE TREIN?? WHY HIM.
I’m SO CONFUSED. Is it just for money grabbing or something like that? It doesn’t make any sense.
Also how prepared you are for the probably last update of Book 7?
I mean...it said he's a story card, and all the other story cards have had major roles, so I see no reason to assume he won't as well! (plus any staff cards are probably all going to be events like Crowley was; I would honestly be MORE surprised to see them as story cards.) really though I'm having fun trying to figure out how he's going to tie into things! we're back at Cerberus Ortho levels of "WHAT DOES IT MEEEAAAAN" and it's great. :D
I assume we're going to be doing some more dream-hopping, but I think it would be hilarious if it turned out to be someone else's dream instead of Rook's. who else could possibly be dreaming about him pre-fancification.
(I'm also half afraid that this really is the last part, and half afraid that it isn't. I'm -- I'm not going to believe anything until we get the diadorm rerun pickups, and maybe not even then)
I thought Deuce was making those cauldrons out of magic. You're telling me that everytime he summons a cauldron, he's being stealing cauldrons from random people?! Does he summon the closest one? Does Deuce resummon the same one or does he get a new one every time? Has he ever taken one in use? Has a Potionology student ever just had their cauldron just vanish in the middle of a lesson? Does Crewel ever see one disappear and go "Oh there he goes again."? Do the cauldrons just stay where he left them and never return to their original owners? This is his go-to spell. Is Deuce single-handedly causing a cauldron shortage in Twisted Wonderland? Does he just have all the cauldrons now? This is why Azul took his Cauldron spell, he could short the cauldron market and create a cauldron monopoly!
Now all I can think about is all the people missing their cauldrons now. Cauldron Deuce INDEED!
Idia is allowed to attend class via tablet due to receiving special permission from the headmage in exchange for securing the school’s network.
Ortho and Idia have overlapping vignettes where Ortho asks him to attend the school’s opening ceremonies with him so that they can make new memories together with Ortho as he is now.
Idia agrees in order to make Ortho happy, but he struggles on the day of the event, managing to leave his room but detouring to the school’s courtyard before he reaches the Mirror Chamber.
Malleus unknowingly insults Idia (“I simply cannot understand the meaningless things humans do at times”), who flees to his room in a panic. (“No matter how hard I grind, I’m locked into the evil route with every bad ending ever and there’s nothing I can do about it!”)
Ortho witnesses the entire incident (though he does not know what was said), following Idia back to the dorm where Idia is attempting to convince himself that Ortho is better off without him: “I wasn’t born with worth and talent like other people, like Mr. Malleus. How’d I forget that?…I’m sure Ortho’s having a great time at orientation all by himself.”
Ortho reaches Idia’s room and apologizes for his selfishness, saying that they can hang out in Idia’s room like they always do, instead.
