The Seven Deadly Sins

This post will contain spoilers for all of Twisted Wonderland, including the main books, events, and cards may be referenced. This is your only warning.

For those who are unacquainted with the concept of the seven deadly sins, let me explain briefly.

The seven deadly sins are basically sins that you should never commit/act upon. Acting upon them can "inspire further sin". These sins include pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. There were two sins that were removed from this list, vainglory and acedia.

Pride is basically like having a big ego and being full of yourself.

"consciousness of one's own dignity"

Vainglory is just being prideful and bragging

inordinate pride in oneself or one's achievements; excessive vanity.

They're pretty much the same thing, so they got lumped in together.

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

Greed:

"intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food"

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

Lust:

"very strong sexual desire"

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

Envy is just being jealous, to put it simply

"a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck."

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

Gluttony is being a fatass eating a lot of food(me)

"habitual greed or excess in eating."

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

Wrath is extreme anger

"an intense emotional state involving a strong uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt or threat."

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

Sloth:

"reluctance to work or make an effort; laziness."

•───────•°•❀•°•───────•

The 8th sin, acedia, is:

"spiritual or mental sloth; apathy."

I did a bit of extra reading on this one, and it pretty much sounds like depression.

"a state of listlessness or torpor, of not caring or not being concerned with one's position or condition in the world. In ancient Greece akidía literally meant an inert state without pain or care...In modern times it has been taken up by literary figures and connected to depression."

If you take a moment to think about it, you can see how these sins can connect to certain characters.

Riddle is wrath, this one is obvious. Riddle has a reputation for being easily angered, so him representing the sin of wrath makes the most sense.

Leona is sloth. He's lazy. It's obvious he does care about things, but he doesn't care enough to make an effort. He also displays the sin of pride, though I feel like sloth is a better choice because his laziness is more apparent as opposed to his pride.

Azul is greed. C'mon, he's completely capitalist. He's greedy in two ways. One, his money. That's one of the most important things to him, hence why he buys ingredients "for the low low price of free", according to Jade. Two, his power. It's clear that he values his power above all else, which is why he goes completely insane once Leona destroys his golden contracts.

Jamil is envy. He's envious of Kalim, not because of his status, but more so his lifestyle. Kalim will get praised and thanked for doing the bare minimum, whereas Jamil could plan a whole banquet and not get a single thanks. No praise or gratitude for anything he does, because it all goes to Kalim. I was going to put lust, because of Jafar, but I'm going to try and keep my reasoning strictly canon to Twisted Wonderland.

Vil is pride. Vil is very prideful when it comes to himself, and Rook and Vil's other fans aren't helping. Vil has high self-esteem, which is good. However, assuming you watched chapter 5, you would've seen what happened when someone hurts his pride. He goes "evil berserker mode". When his pride gets hurt, bad things happen. If you look at the song lyrics of "Absolutely Beautiful"(a banger btw), this point becomes much more clear as well. He puts himself above others, and views himself as more important.

Idia is acedia. It's really obvious Idia has depression. Given his backstory and the way he acts, it would be weird if he didn't. Just like Leona, you can tell he cares, but he just can't bring himself to care, physically or mentally. He stays in his room, refuses to socialize, and if he has to attend class, he just goes via tablet. This is clearly depression, and remember, depression is pretty much acedia.

Malleus is lust. Ok, hear me out. It could happen. I know I put the definition up top, but technically it's possible to lust for someone or something non-sexually.

"In fact, sometimes lust has nothing to do with sexual desire. It can be “intense enthusiasm; zest,” which is closer to its earlier meanings of “pleasure,” “delight” and “inclination.”"

So it would be possible for Malleus to be lusting for Yuu, in a friendship way. Or perhaps Aniplex will cater to the simps and make it sexual, though I doubt it.

Grim is gluttony. I feel the prologue monster was either overblot Grim, or foreshadowing to overblot Grim. Either way, Grim is a glutton, he LOVES food. If he can eat it, he will. Blot stones, grass, etc.

"How may we be of service?"🐯❤️‍🔥🐺

And Happy Birthday to Me! 23 and getting older!🥳

(Commission by the spectacular Laizy_Boy04 of my Zenless OC Amadeus Valentine and Von Lycaon. More LoveWolf.)

Aw he sounds amazing and I love that his birthday is on Valentine’s Day, also his reference being an obscure tiger yokai is fascinating!

Oh also I think Rina made him some of her homemade cookies~

Yes, Rina did make him some cookies as a welcome gift... it didn't go well. But he adores her nonetheless.

Also, his elemental attribute is Ether ✨️. He is an "Attack Class" ⚔️. S Rank. His Banner would be tittled: "All of Love." His focused stats would be attack and Crit Damage. His W-Engine is called "The Unbound" which has his lashers wrapped around it, but the animation has the lasher unwrap themselves, revealing the W-Engine that looks like him. Once his W-Engine is equipped, whenever he performs a special move, his white hairs and sunglasses glow pink.

And his Character story would be called "Eros and the Game called Love"

"Good morning! Your breakfast is ready."

I love seeing everyone’s ZZZ ocs makes me want to draw mine!

Love Amadeus by the way and want to know more about them!

What attitude is he? What is his weapon? I noticed his beautiful fur color is be themed off the Cheshire Cat?

Has he made drinks themed off the members of Victoria Housekeeping?

Hello! I'm honored that you have taken an interest in my boy. To keep it simple, he is Lycaon's childhood best friend, growing up orphans together. They joined Mockingbird together. But after an incident with an Ethereal damaged his spine, he had a cybernetic spine implanted. For a few years, he worked as a bartender at a gentleman's club, where he reunited with Lycaon and offered a job at Victoria Housekeeping. Taking the job, he took the title of Valet and Bartender.

He is a natural flirt. He is very charming and charismatic with some level of sarcasm. This makes him very popular with the female clientele for his charm and respected with the male clientele for his trusting, attentive nature and excellent drinks.

His weapon of choice aside his claws are his two Lashers/tendrils that come out of his cybernetic spine. He has named them:

Eros (on his left) and Ludus (on his right)

His fur color is Magenta. Although the Cheshire Cat reference is a cool one. Since all of Victoria Housekeeping are based on occult monsters: Lycaon (Werewolf), Rina (Poltergeist), Corin (Frankenstein's monster), and Ellen (Jaws/Creatures from the deep). Amadeus is based on a Kasha (a Japanese Yokai that looks like a flaming feline who steals the corpses of evil doers)

Yes, he has made drinks themed around each member. (Though he keeps his recipes to himself)

And top it off: he has a sweet tooth (especially for cookies), he stands at 6'4, his sunglasses change color depending on his mood, he and Lycaon have "close" relationship and his birthday is 2/14 aka Valentine's Day
