cw: suggestive bits. obvious angst. me loving the dragon boy.
most definitely hums to himself, and would love the phantom of the opera soundtrack.
loves being gothic. prides himself on it, and has also probably worn a corset at some point.
speaking of corsets, he's very fond of women's corsets, mostly because he finds the female figure very attractive. (ahem ahem boob lover).
he just likes the curves. and the idea of holding a woman's corseted waist is very pleasing to him.
enjoys the rain, but doesn't like how it happens. (doesn't like how it depends on his mood fluctuations).
used to not use his fire magic when he was young because he couldn't properly control it.
wandered off a lot when he was a kid.
was often found in the middle of the forest, in the same large, empty meadow.
developed a habit of talking to himself from childhood loneliness, and still sometimes does it as a teen fae.
would probably actually break down if lilia died. inconsolable, and would go completely catatonic. (luckily I hc lilia to be an actual vampire so he won't be dead for a long time)
finds owls fascinating.
used to accidentally bump his horns when he got the height (6'7 my lord) and had to duck underneath doorways before they were altered in the palace.
also finds humans fascinating. what do you mean you're mature at 25? he wasn't even out of the toddler stage at that age. what is a 'chronic illness'? brilliant creatures. (his words).

Tw: Bad grammar and mis-characterization of any and all characters bc I only had 1 act to write this
Scene 1
(Dark, castle-looking room with one big bed in the middle. The bed has four posts neatly decorated with intricate carvings. Boxes spread everywhere, some open, some closed, all filled with random old antiques and items a person would have collected over time. Two teenage boys are sitting at opposite ends of the room, packing stuff away. Lilia, Disominas' Vice housewarden, is dropping out of school and is getting help from Silver, a second-year, who is helping him pack up. Lila is a 5’2” tall boy who has a black bob with a slant to the right bang and little tuffs coming off the top of his head that kinda look like bat wings. Silver is a 5’9” average built man with silver eyes and silver mid-length hair.)
Lilia
Oh, great sevens! I haven’t seen this in years. Look, Silver, it's your baby photos! Oh, look at how small you were back then. (he hugs the photos to his chest.)
(Silver looks over at Lilia)
Silver
Da-Lilia…. Stay focused, the party is going to start soon, and we need to get this (gestures to the boxes) cleaned before we can go out. (Silver walks over to some items that haven’t been put away yet. He takes an unfamiliar box and opens it to see a ring and some old acorns in there.) What are these? Why haven't I seen them before? This is a very pretty ring, Lilia. Why don't you wear it?
(Lilia walks over to where Silver is crouched down.)
Lilia
Oh that! Why thats yours, Silver, from when you were a baby. I found it on your finger when I found you. I was going to give it to you when you graduated from Night Raven College.
Silver
Sorry, Father, for ruining your surprise for me. Please accept my apology. (Silver starts to inspect the ring, noticing words that he cannot understand)
Lilia
No need to apologize, Silver, it's no biggie. I just thought that it would be a cute little gift to give you, since it's really the only thing from your real parents I was able to get. (Lilia walks away and continues to stack boxes while Silver just stays there, looking at the ring)
(Someone knocks on the door)
Sebeck
SILVER, THE NEED YOU TWO OUT HERE TO HELP SET UP FOR LILIA-SEMPIS DROP OUT PARTY!
(Silver's head shoots up from the ring)
Silver
Coming Sebeck! Be there in a moment. Let me finish up in here with Lilia. (Silver quickly shoves the ring back into the box and walks to the door)
Lilia
Go have fun, Silver. Don’t have too much fun without me now! (he paces over to Silver and grabs his shoulder) Make sure Sebeck doesn’t scare the other little bats now. And don’t dwell, Silver.
Silver
Wha-umm I mean will do Lilia! Sebeck won’t cause any harm to anyone out there! (Silver releases himself from Lilas's grasp and walks out the door)
Lilia
(waving Silver off) Good boy, Silver. (whispers) You, kids, keep me young.
(black out, scene change to Housewarden Malleus Draconias bedroom)
Scene 2: Malleus room
(A grandiose room with very elaborately decorated walls, a closet, and a writing desk.) A big picture window is situated next to the bed, looking over a dead forest. Green and black are the main colors. The bed looks like Lilias's but is slightly bigger. Very clean and organised. Malleus is pacing around the room with a worried look on his face. There's a knock on the door.)
Malleus
(Looks at the door) Hmmm? Who would be knocking at my door at this time? (walks over to the door and opens it)
Yū
Horton, may I come in? You seem out of it and like something's wrong, and I want to make sure that everything is ok.
Malleus
Of course, Child of Man, come right in. (He opens the door and Yū walks in) Please, Child of Man, don’t worry so much, nothing is wrong.
Yū
(Walks over to the bed and takes a seat) You sure, Horton? You haven’t left your room in a while, and everyone is getting worried. Especially Sebeck, he's totally freaking out.
Malleus
(Sits at desk) Sebeck worries too much. He’s always worried about my safety, isn’t he?
Yū
Mal… stop trying to avoid my question. What’s up with you? Is it the party? If so, then you don’t have to go; we can stay here and hang out.
Malleus
Child of Man, it’s just that… Lilia is leaving.
Yū
Yeah and? What’s wrong with that?
Malleus
I have always had Lilia by my side, and now he’s just…
Yū
Gone?
Malleus
Yes, Child of man, gone. I don’t think I’ll be able to go on without Lila. He’s been with me since I was a hatchling. He’s like a father to me. This party that is being hosted is just a reminder of the short amount of time I still have with him.
Yū
I still don’t get why he’s leaving in the first place. I mean, wouldn’t he want to stay in this school?
Malleus
Oh, Lilia is way older than just 15, Child of Man. He’s very old for a fae, around 700 years.
Yū
700! Geez, he’s an UNC, worse than Leona. But I’m gonna take a guess and say that fae age differently than more humanoid creatures and that 700 isn’t as crazy an age to other fae as it is to say me.
Malleus
Your assumptions are correct, Child of Man. But also as fae age, they start to lose their magic.
Yū
Is that what is happening to Lilia?
Malleus
…Unfortunately, yes. (Fade out to Scene 3)
SCENE 3
(Main room of Diasomia, English Castle, looking common room)
Sebeck
LORD MALLEUS! WHERE ARE YOU? (Looking around frantically)
Silver
(Trailing behind Sebeck) I’m sure he’s fine, Sebeck. He’s probably still getting ready in his room. This is a big day for him after all. It’s a big day for all of us as well. We need to give him his time.
Sebeck
(Stopping in place) Do you not remember your duty, Silver?
Silver
(Stopping right behind Sebeck) Of course, I remember Sebeckt. It’s been my whole life. How could I just forget? I need this party to go smoothly, and if that means making you stop your… your “this” (gestures to all of Sebeck), then I will do what I must to make this day perfect for Lilia. Malleus will come out when he’s ready, same with Lilia.
Lilia
(Enters stage right) Boys, boys, stop fighting about little old me.
Silver and Sebeck:
(in unison) LILIA!
Lilia
(Walks over and grabs both of the other boy’s shoulders) Who’s excited for the Partyyyy!!!!
Silver
Both of us, Lilia.
Lilia
So what were the two of you just doing standing around?
Sebeck
We were looking for Lord Malleus, Lilia-senpai.
Lilia
Oh, he’ll come out when he wants, but if you're so scared, Sebeck, I’ll go look for him for you. Too-da-loo little bats! (Exits stage right)
Silver
Well, that was easy. (Pause) Do you think things will change, Sebeck?
Sebeck
What do you mean?
Silver
I mean, we’ve always had Lilia, right? It’s going to be weird here at school without him.
Sebeck
I don’t think things will change too much, Silver. We will still be protecting Lord Malleus every day like we normally do.
(Malleus, Yū, and Lilia enter stage left, behind Silver and Sebeck. Lilia sneaks up behind the two again.)
Lilia
BOO! (Giggles)
Silver & Sebeck
AHHH! (They both turn around to look at Lilia)
Silver
(Sigh) Oh, thank the Sevens it’s just you, Lilia. And look, you also brought Malleus and Yū.
Lilia
Of course, I got them! Now, since everyone is here… let’s start this PARTY!
(People party for a bit, Lilia is talking to some other Diasoma students. Silver and Yū are hanging out. Sebeck is walking around the party to make sure everyone is behaving. And Malleus is in a corner, very quiet and giving Lilia a death stare.)
Lilia
(Talking to other students)… Have fun, little ones. (Walks over to malleus) Are you good, Mal?
Malleus
You can’t leave
Lilia
Malleus, what are you saying? I have to leave Mal.
Malleus
No, you can’t leave. You can’t leave me.
(Silver, Sebeck, and Yū all turn and notice. Silver and Sebeck come over to Lilia and Malleus.)
Silver
Lilia, Malleus, what’s going o-
Malleus
(He pulls out his magic pen) NO ONE IS LEAVING ME! (Green flames appear all around the common room, blocking all exits) Never again.
(Everyone besides Lilia and Malleus acts shocked)
Lilia
Malleus… what are you planning to do?
Malleus
I’m going to keep you all here forever, under my care. (Magic effects start to go off, Students start to get dozy. Silver and Lilia start to come to a realization)
Silver & Lilia
(Under their breath) his signature spell…
Malleus
Spinning wheel of fate, spin the threads of calamity.
Lilia
Malleus stop
Malleus
I, the Lord of Malevolence, offer this blessing. Fae Maleficence.
Lilia
MALLEUS!
(Green lights start to flash as malleus overblots. All the others fall asleep in a deep sleep. As soon as everyone is “asleep,” Malleus does an evil laugh, and everything fades to black.)
Scene 4
(We are in a room with Yū and a mirror. Just the two of them. It looks to be an abandoned house with holes in the ceiling and windows not working.)
Yū
Where am I?
(A voice from the mirror appears)
Mickey Mouse
You're doing a good job, Yū.
Yū
MICKEY MOUSE! WHY ARE YOU IN MY MIRROR?
Mickey Mouse
Now, don't ask too many questions, child.
Yū
Okay, okay, but no, seriously, what are you doing here?
Mickey Mouse
I’m here to tell you that you need to get out of this dream and save everything.
Yū
ME! AGAIN!
(Knock knock)
Mickey Mouse
Not just you, Yū. There’s someone else here to help you. Go check your front door.
(Yū nods. They walk over, down the stairs, and to their front door and open it.)
Silver
Yū. You need to listen to me. This is a dream world.
Yū
Yeah, Silver, Mickey Mouse just told me that information. Thank you very much.
Silver
Who is Mickey Mouse? And why is a Mouse in your mirror?
Yū
Not important, continue.
Silver
Come with me.
Yū
Come where? Why are we exploring my mental fortitude in a dream state?
Silver
No, Yū, we are going to go to someone else’s dream using my unique magic
Yū
You can just go into people's dreams! That’s so cool, dude.
Silver
Thanks. Take my hand (holds hand out).
Yū
(Takes hand) This is awesome.
Silver
(takes out magic pen) “Meet in a dream”
(bright white light flashes. Both Silver and Yū are gone. The stage is now black)
Scene 5
(Back in the Diasomia common room. There’s an off feeling in the air, like everything is slightly wrong. Silver and Yū walk around)
Yū
(Leaning over to Silver) What’s your plan, Silver?
Silver
Wait here and just let me do my thing. (Walks away)
Yū
Wow ok, leave me here then.
Sebeck
Good one, Lord Malleus (chuckles)
Silver
(Walking up to Sebeck, Malleus, and other students) Hello Lord Malleus, Sebeck, others. (Turns to Sebeck) Sebeck, can I borrow you for a quick chat?
(Sebeck turns to Silver while Malleus has a questioning look on his face.)
Sebeck
For whatever reason, Silver? Everything is going just fine.
Silver
(Looks at Malleus and then looks back at Sebeck) Please, Sebeck, this is a very urgent matter at hand.
Sebeck
Nothing is a matter, though, Silver? Are you sick? If so, please leave and rest. You cannot ruin this party.
Silver
Sebeck, just listen to me.
Malleus
ENOUGH (Thunder strikes, malleus is now in his overblot outfit) I WILL NOT HAVE YOU, SILVER, RUINING EVERYTHING FOR ME AGAIN!
Sebeck
L-Lord Malleus!
Silver
(Grabs Sebeck and runs back to Yū) We need to get going.
Malleus
YOU WILL NOT LEAVE (Green thunder strikes in front of Silver, and the group runs to stage left)
Silver
(Grabs his magic pen from his pocket) “MEET IN A DREAM”
(White Flash. Silver, Yū, and Sebeck are gone. Malleus is left alone on stage as the lights dim)
So for one of my classes we get to make a script for anything we want to and I chose to write BOOK 7 FROM TWST but in play form. Would any of you be interested in reading it when I’m done (the first act for now and then the second act later)? (Will probably release Saturday since I have to have act one turned in by Friday💚)
I finished the first act, not good at all and it’s missing stuff but I needed to make it understandable for only the first 100 Chapters of Book 7. So all of the Ortho stuff got cut sadly ☹️
I feel so bad having to mis-characterize Malleus and all of the other characters in my play because my theater teacher doesn’t know Twisted Wonderland and I need to make them understandable for a normie 😭 I hate it I feel like I’m killing them slowly and surely

I have a family friend who worked at our local Salvation Army headquarters as a a secretary. This particular office took all the Christmas donations for children in need, put them in a warehouse, and on a designated day the staff and their friends picked through them all, taking whatever they wanted. She saw people hauling away bikes donated for specific families. Some local children had hundreds of dollars of gifts donated in their name, and on Christmas they received three cheap things, items likely not even from the person who sponsored them.
My friend quit, and I’ve not given them a dime of my money since then.
I deal with a lot of agencies who provide disaster relief.
I used to say the Salvation Army’s disaster services were the one (literally the ONE) good thing they did.
They would come in, set up a canteen trailer, make and pass out hot coffee and donated food in a disaster, usually being one of the first agencies to get there and the last to leave.
Then I found out.
Every time they did this, regardless of if they were actually invited or deployed by the agency in charge (usually FEMA, sometimes others) they would SELF-DEPLOY. Meanjng they would just show up. Ok. That’s not TOO bad, sometimes agencies have to take initiative and get there before the red tape is sorted out. BUT. They, after they left at the end of the incident, they would send FEMA or the host agency a BILL. They used one or two paid employees (usually the driver of the truck and a supervisor); and many VOLUNTEERS, but they would bill for EVERYONE’s Labor at standard federal rates. They would bill for the food they distributed even though it was all donated by another agency or private parties. They would bill for the coffee they made and the supplies. Except they would use electricity from the shelter location, water from donations or from the shelter, and in many cases, they would get the coffee and industrial filters DONATED, but bill for them at retail prices.
The Salvation Army is also ass to the workers. A good number of people join it, naively thinking that it’s doing good, and end up leaving cynical and beaten down. The management is hostile, if not outright abusive, and demand some ridiculous hours of it lower to mid-level staff. Don’t support these people.
Also just for even more horrific context on the original twitter thread?
Salvation Army reached out to Milknmuffins and asked what shelter she’s at with the promise to address the abuse in it. She…ended up saying where she was. She was thrown out onto the street. It’s also all on Twitter.
They invited her to a personal talk so she could explain the situation in person.
And then they threatened her with a screenshot of a rape-threat made supposedly by her:
And then threw her out into the street while claiming she broke house rules that
So yeah, the Salvation Army is a bunch of entitled assholes that will treat the most vulnerable like shit if they dare try to do anything that makes them look bad
The “Fuck Salvation Army” posts are making the rounds again, so conisder this your reminder:
Do. Not. Give. These. Assholes. A. Single. Fucking. Penny.
If you see the timestamp and think ‘maybe the Salvos got better in the last 8 years’ no. No they didn’t. Actually they got worse. DON’T GIVE TO THE SALVOS. THEYPISS ALL THEIR MONEY UP THE WALL ON THE CORPORATE END AND DO LITTLE TO NOTHING TO HELP WHO THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP.
Everyone: Please please please don't write your books in Google Docs. Frankly don't use Google Drive for personal stuff.
Their terms of service say they take down stuff like content related to terrorism and trafficking, but this Google Sheet was literally a list of movies I'd watched this year and books I'd read.
Holy smokes, guys. It's way worse than I thought. Google actually took away access to every single file of fiction writing I'd made on that account. BUT I backed it all up on Scrivener yesterday by coincidence. So I haven't lost my work, but I could have just lost the 12,000 words I've written this month after a year of really intense writer's block. I honestly don't know what that would have done to my psyche.
That is awful! If you're looking for a gdocs-like replacement, Ellipsus @ellipsus-writes is an explicitly queer friendly, anti-AI equivalent with online syncing and sharing - I've been using it for almost a year now as a replacement for gdocs and absolutely love it. They are pro-fanfic, so much so that they have a dedicated "export to Ao3" option that preserves all your formatting. They don't have an app (yet) but you can add it to your home screen via your mobile browser if you want.
I do still back up all my work to local storage on LibreOffice (free to download, Microsoft Office equivalent) too though, thank goodness you backed up to Scrivener OP!
