Twisted Wonderland Theory - Tumblr Posts

As it has been in many theories that Silver from Twisted Wonderland represents the sleeping curse or the sword. Anyways here is about Silver and his habit of falling asleep, is connected with Aurora and the curse that was put on her. Is with Silver eyes, as in the beginning of the movie Aurora‘s eyes are a dark colour, and in many dolls and art of her, her eye colour is a purple.

But in the end where Prince Phillip breaks the curse her eyes become a blue colour.

So what I am saying is that the sleep that Silver can’t seem to stop from happening could be an after affect on the curse that was casted on Aurora. As his eyes are a purple colour.

I can’t put a photo of Silver here as Tumblr is being a dick to me!

Complete Guide to the “Crowley is Levan” Theory

Hello, its the self-proclaimed Crowley/Levan theory expert, back at it again! (*ﾟ∀ﾟ*) I’m really shocked at Book 7’s recent update, and I’m seeing more and more people get into the Crowley/Levan theory.

But for everyone who is new to this theory, people who aren’t yet convinced, or anyone who just wants the major points in one document, I decided to write everything I know about this theory, with the help from posts from my fellow theorists! Of course, at the end of the day it’s just a theory, so make your own conclusions! ^_^

Buckle up everyone for a very long post rife with lore! I worked hard on this one, as it is a culmination of ALL my previous theories, so sharing is appreciated haha. Heavy Book 7 spoilers ahead!

This theory revolves around the idea that Headmage Dire Crowley is actually Duke Levan, the father of Malleus Draconia. Before we get into the nitty-gritty details, let’s go over everything we know SO FAR.

Levan (Revan, Levaan, and Revaan is also a common spelling) is the husband of Meleanor Draconia, who is the Princess of Wild Rose Castle. Levan is a Duke, Diplomat, nobleman, and the left-hand war general. He had control over the Eastern Fort while Lilia had control over the Western Fort. His title is “Ryūgan Duke Levan,” or 竜眼公レヴァーン in Japanese. The characters imply a connection to the Chinese Long, and Ryūgan very roughly translates to “Dragon eyed,” although it is uncertain if Levan is a Dragon Fae, or if this is just his title. Levan is referred to as Meleanor’s “eyes, limbs, and husband,” so perhaps “Dragon Eyed” refers to his connection to Meleanor? Due to his name, people also suspect he may be a bird Fae, specifically a raven.

He seems to be based of Diablo, Maleficent’s raven. From what we know from Lilia, he is slightly meek (according to childhood stories) and gentle, always with a smile on his face. However, he is also extremely dependable and strong. Rumor has it he fought against the Dawn Knight, a figure that the night Fae fear for his power. Despite Levan’s clumsiness, Meleanor is very enamored with him, praising him for the smallest of things while punishing everyone else. Meleanor refers to Levan as “beautiful,” although we have no silhouette or voice for him currently. Levan grew up with Meleanor and Lilia, and was very close with Lilia, who was the right-hand general.

When Lilia ripped up his invitation to NRC, Levan painstakingly took all the pieces out of the trash and pieced them all together, storing the invitation in the Royal Archive for Lilia to come back 500 years later. Lilia wonders if Levan somehow knew that he would go to NRC with Malleus in the future. Levan is also very willing to start relations with humans compared to the rest of Briar Valley, as he taught Lilia the human language, and has said that he hopes one day, the humans and Fae can share a common language to exchange culture and history together in peace. This positive attitude and willingness to teach is likely what made him such a good diplomat.

However, Levan went missing in the Silver Owls vs. Briar Valley war when leading a mission to deliver letters to the Eastern Fort. Meleanor is heavily implied to be dead, but Levan simply disappeared and never returned. In Briar Valley history books, he is assumed to be dead, but little information of him is known.

But what does all this backstory have anything to do with Dire Crowley? He’s unreliable, manipulative, and never does more work than necessary, even with all the student Overblots. He sounds nothing like Levan. Well, let’s go to the birthplace of this theory to see what’s up:

Crowley and Malleus Parallels

Black hair with a green-ish tint, pale skin, pointed ears, dark lips, and a similar tall stature. No other character besides Meleanor resembles Malleus to this degree.

Although no dialogue has confirmed it, it is heavily, HEAVILY implied that Crowley is in fact, one of the Fae. He’s been Headmage at NRC for at least 100 years and several of his features imply a Fae heritage. He even gets offended when the Ghost Camera, that was invented in a great-great grandmothers time, is referred to as “old,” as if he took offense to the implication that HE’S old. He’s likely a bird Fae, as he may transform into a raven/crow in the opening animation, and his voice lines show him with bird-like habits. Crowley also refers to his “wings” several times as a part of his anatomy.

@twisted-tech shows that in the Glorious Masquerade event, Malleus wears an costume that’s startlingly similar to Crowley’s outfit, down to the detailed vest to the feathers on his shoulders. In the animation announcement for GloMas, Malleus stands in front of the light the same exact way Crowley does in the opening prologue animation.

The 2nd anniversary animation also has a strange moment between Crowley and Malleus, with Crowley appearing for a quick moment, before a light shines over him, revealing Malleus.

In Malleus’ birthday-boy interview he mentions how black is the color of nobility in Briar Valley, thus his tendency to wear all-black attire. Isn’t it interesting how Crowley’s main outfit color is black? On a similar note, when an Alchemy Special Lesson is triggered, Malleus says “He’s [Crowley] is far from ordinary.” Malleus, who prides himself for being extremely powerful to the point he thinks less of others, thinks Crowley is unusual? Does he sense a type of power from Crowley, or does something seem uncomfortably familiar about him?

And last but certainly not least, Crowley’s secret concept art. This in-person event was very exclusive, so many obscure concept art pieces of the characters were only shown here. Crowley seemed to be grouped with the Diasomnia cast with the same color palette, and his purple cape is highly reminiscent of Maleficent’s. He even has briars climbing up his leg. He even has the stamp of the three good fairies on his paper, just like the beta designs for Lilia and Malleus. Of course, concept art should not be used too heavily as a source, but this is certainly no coincidence, and don’t you think it’s odd how secretive this image is? Most fans have no idea this concept art exists.

These two must have some type of connection with each other- this evidence alone is what convinced me in the first place. However, this is just the beginning:

Ravens & Crows Symbolism, Levan vs Crowley

Levan and Crowley have a shocking amount of similarities too! Ravens in mythology were considered to be messengers of the gods, and were especially connected to Apollo, the god of Prophecy. I think that Levan’s unique magic was the gift of Propechy, as in he could see future events. Bringing back Lilia’s line of if Levan somehow knew he would go to NRC with Malleus 500 years in the future, I say yes! He knew many things about what the future held due to his magic, and it makes sense with Raven symbolism. Crowley also has a strange knowledge of future events, from the STYX invasion to Grim’s magestone collar. @rayroseu has also pointed out the Malleus’ egg heavily resembles a Black Opal, which symbolizes death and destruction, and was used to “gaze” into the past, present, and future. Hmmm

What if as a way to reunite with Lilia and Malleus, Levan became the Headmage of NRC? He would have every skill necessary to do so, and Crowley has many connections to the school board, STYX, the Asim’s, Jupiter Conglomerate, etc. He’s not as much as fool as he’d like you to think- he’s in charge of the prestigious school for a very good reason. He knows the perfect balance of manipulation and sweet-talking, just as expected of the diplomat and envoy, just like ravens were in mythology.

Ravens have symbolized death and destruction for a very long time- and isn’t it interesting how Crowley’s first name is “Dire,” as in ‘disastrous’? Yana Toboso has confirmed that “Dire” is actually pronounced as the English word “Dear,” like ‘beloved.’ @sote-forever has pointed out that the origin of Levan’s name means “gracious/merciful,” which feels oddly familiar to Crowley’s catchphrase of “I am so kind/Watashi yasashii no de.” The EN translation uses “gracious” instead of “kind” a lot as well 👀

Speaking of his catchphrase, in Book 7 when Grim hears more about Levan, he says that Levan sounded like a “kind man.” He even uses the same exact language as Crowley uses, ‘yasashi,’ meaning gentle and kind. Just like the meaning of Levan’s name. For reference:

私 優しいので is Watashi Yasahii No de “Because I’m kind.”

優しかった is what Grim said: Yasahikatta (?) meaning “He was kind”

Back to the death symbolism, I mentioned that ravens were Psychopomp. In mythology, ravens were said to guide human souls to the underworld by the will of the gods. And isn’t it interesting how NRC is FULL of death and underworld symbolism? Technically, Crowley IS the Psychopomp, because he is responsible for transporting the students and is the only one with a special key to unlocking the students coffins. He even says in the prologue that the coffins were designed to represent the “departure of your previous world, and rebirth into a new one.”

As a side note, crows and ravens fall under the same exact word in Japanese: karasu. There are some instances in the EN translation where crow and raven are mixed up, as Diablo, Maleficent’s raven, is referred to as a “crow” in one of Malleus’s chats. Hmmm

Crowley’s cane is also interesting. Not only does the bottom key part spell out “Raven,” the top of his cane looks exactly like Diablo when he was turned into stone at the end of Sleeping Beauty. Although I do agree that Crowley has connections to the Evil Queen’s crow, I think he could be inspired by both. Similarly, NRC’s logo is a raven with a crown above his head. Levan WAS royalty, after all…

Levan also has a special acceptance of humans. His wife DESPISES humans, but he learned a common language of the Fae and humans in order to communicate, and even taught other Fae the language himself. And once again, he saved Lilia’s invitation to NRC. Doesn’t he sound like someone who wishes to share knowledge? He wants peaceful communication between humans and Fae to share culture and history, just like what NRC is like today. It feels a lot like a Headmage’s behavior, don’t you think?

From the way Meleanor treated Levan, Levan’s behavior sounds oddly like Crowley’s. Meleanor praised him for the most basic things, and seemed to dote over him a lot. Crowley is incredibly egotistical about doing literally the most basic shit ever lmaoo, but I can’t blame him for getting a big head if he used to be always praised for it. Lilia also says that Levan would probably return with a big smile on his face. In every single animation that Crowley is present in, he always has a smile on his face, watching carefully over the events.

Levan also seemed to be a bit of a crybaby in his childhood, as Lilia said that when they got lost in a forest, he “could never forget Levan’s pitiful expression.” Crowley definitely has an aversion to death or people getting hurt, and has cried several times when he gets overemotional.

In the prologue, Crowley claims to be intimately acquainted with every single students homelands. Yes, his hobby IS vacationing, but I think he knows the lands way more intimately than simple sightseeing. Again, Levan was a diplomat. He would have a vast amount of knowledge about the inner workings, culture, and history of many different foreign lands.

Edit: We also have NO IDEA of Crowley’s homeland. If I remember correctly, he’s the only character where his land of origin is unknown. Why would TWST do this, unless this was a huge spoiler? Like…say if Crowley’s homeland was Briar Valley???

And finally, I think it’s EXTREMELY suspicious that we have not seen at least a silhouette of Levan, despite his name coming up in conversations several times. Why would his silhouette not be revealed, unless his silhouette is a dead giveaway to a character we already know? Same reasoning for why we haven’t had a flashback with his voice- his voice would just reveal the truth. Additionally, NRC seems to lack books over the history of Briar Valley and what happened to Levan and Meleanor. In one of the History Lessons, Malleus mentions a photo of Lilia in a history book. Perhaps there are history books with a painting/photo of Levan? It would explain why the history is so lacking, because Crowley doesn’t want his past self to be seen.

Meleanor, NRC & Other

Whew, we’re almost done! This is the miscellaneous category, but just as important as the above points.

Meleanor, OB Malleus, and Crowley have many many similarities. I go into more detail in the linked post, but Meleanor’s and Crowley’s features definitely “combine” in Malleus’ features. Take for example, Meleanor’s straight dark teal hair and Crowley’s wavy black hair with a slight greenish tint. It merges perfectly into Malleus’s hair. There are many similarities in their outfit designs too, so I recommend looking at this post!

This is very strange, but the coliseum and Diasomnia’s dorm hallway have the SAME EXACT DESIGNS as the passageway in Briar Valley (converted into a Silver Owl hideout) and the hall in MELEANOR’S castle. No one could have this punt of knowledge of these locations, especially Meleanor’s castle that was covered in briars and abandoned. Unless…someone at NRC was intimately acquainted with both of these locations. Perhaps a noblemen like Levan would know? Meaning, Crowley?

Crowley in the prologue talks to his “proud, beautiful flower of evil” in the mirror. I highly recommend rewatching the part, because Crowley’s voice just shows how much love he has for this flower of evil. Lili refers to Meleanor as the “most evil Princess,” and she is also the Princess of Wild Rose Castle. Rose like a flower 🌹 \(//∇//)\ She is also an extremely proud person, and does not hesitate to strike people down for disagreeing with her.

Many people ask why Levan would abandon Meleanor, especially when he loved her. I don’t think he willingly abandoned her at all! If my theory of his prophecy magic is right, he knew that there was nothing he could do to prevent Meleanor’s death and the fall of their castle. And who knows, what if Levan Overblotted when he went missing? He led a GROUP of messengers to the Eastern Fort, so what happened to these messengers? Did they die at his hands when he Overblotted? It’s a common theory that Crowley is under the influence of blot, as his mask and gloves would cover Overblot markings.

@ventique18 has also mentioned that a dark Fae’s love in literature is depicted to be OBSESSIVE, as in the couple can drive themselves mad over their love for each other. I think Crowley was a much kinder and genuine person as Levan, but Meleanor’s death permanently scarred him. Plus, as much as we don’t want to admit it, it’s been 500 years. Look at Lilia: he’s changed SO MUCH over the years since his time as general. Why can’t Levan do the same? Longing to reunite with his loved one for CENTURIES isn’t healthy at all, but he desires it so much that he’s willing to hurt innocent people in order to achieve it.

This is out of the TWST canon lol, but there’s potentially a lot of connection to Edgar Allen Poe’s “Lenore” and “The Raven.” Lenore mourns a “queenliest dead that ever died so young” before her wedding, which could parallel Meleanor dying before Malleus’ birth. The Raven represents the pure desperation, grief, and insanity of him wanting to see his lost love again: Lenore, and how he’s unable to cope with her passing. UM??!!!

FINALLY, as the saying goes: Malleus had to get his loser genes from somewhere. Hope this helps! 🤪

Jokes aside, I’m exhausted but I feel very happy to have made this guide! Many thanks to all the blogs I’ve mentioned above, and to Gasmask on Youtube, Otome Atui on Youtube, and MoonlightEquin1 on Twitter for translations!!! It really helped me out my thoughts together in this theory, and I hope it can serve as a reference guide to everyone else!

I had to link a lot of my separate theories just because there is too much to go over in one post, and I’m very limited with photos on mobile ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡ If yall can think of anything else to add, it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you to everyone for your support, it’s so fun theorizing with everybody!! 💞💞💞

I don't know if it's been established how Yuu is going home but...

Ambrose the 63rd could be the key to returning Yuu back home and could be the key to unlocking Yuu's powerful magic.

I say this because, why would they introduce a new character, show his face and give his name if he was not important.

The Wizards states:

"A world of things that have been forgotten" Implying characters that have been forgotten in Epic Mickey but this could also link to twisted wonderland in terms of the Villains, where they are celebrated for their actions which are seen as good but in reality they were not in most aspects.

Describing his project

RSA could possibly get involved when dealing with overblot grim, alluding to a chapter 8 being possibly released. Probably the Ramshacke dorm or RSA.

There is a possibility that Mickey created Twisted wonderland and was locked away in a normal world where protagonists are respected rather than villains possibly by the wizard.

Just a Random Theory For Twst :)

Warning : english is not my native langunge okey :""")

Okey guys, I have a randon theory that, maybe... Malleus is intentionally to overblot. Because on Twisted promo art, Malleus walked toward the overblot pool? Or something? (Like yess... I still think that is overblot ink).

Like in this pict :

Like... MALLEUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHO WALK TOWARD THAT POOL!!!! And the others just stay still in there coffin. Well except Leona and Idia.

Im sure lot of you guys know the theory that Idia and Leona maybe team up (from yaoyaobae twitter) , because like yess... that sure make sense, because back from chapter 6, LEONA IS THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZE THAT HE WAS IN THE VIRTUAL WORLDD!!!!

And Idia, back from chapter 7 part 3, he realize that something is wrong. Bruhhh plisss Twisted... I just need answer, I DONT NEED SLEEP!!! 😭😭😭

Ekhem... like I just have the feeling, remember what Idia said, that when you overblot you got a buff for your magic and whatever if I remember it correctly, because English is NOT may native languange and I just a random person who like Twisted and try to understand the whole big plot and history of this magicly world 🙃🙃🙃.

Anyway, maybe because of this, Malleus planned to wrap the whole Sage Island to dreamland :))) (Lol I just called that dreamland) just like in Sleeping Beauty movie.

Omg what have I just write... forget this random thinking of mine 😭😭😭

I have a question. Is there legitimately any reason why Night Raven College is an all-boys school? Like lorewise? Does anyone have a headcanon or reasoning for that? I keep trying to think as to why, but nothing I think of makes enough sense.

To get into Night Raven, you have to either be proficient in magic, be chosen by the mirror itself, or have enough madol to pay off Crowley. Magic seems like a hard thing to master, so it's understandable if most people don't want to do that. Wealth comes from the rich, and I guess a lot of rich people in TWST don't have daughters.

But why is the mirror not picking any girls? It's literally the Mirror of the Evil Queen, one of the most powerful female witches to ever be mentioned in fairytales and what not. Why?

I seriously need a legitmate explanation for this, and I don't think I'll be satisfied until I get it. Like... Is there a curse? Was there some sort of tragic accident? Will RSA white knight the girl, treat her like a damsel-in-distress, and start an all out war with NRC? Were the women there before, and there just isn't any now? I really want an answer.

Twst Headcanon/Speculation/Theory thingy where Neige has abandonment issues based on crumbs Idk. (pleasee tell me if i phrased some things wrong or got some misinfo on certain things. also feel free to add your thoughts!!)

cw for: mentioned/implied child neglect

Short Version: The LeBlanche parents are probably absent and or neglectful (or worse, dead) and Neige has abandonment issues now because of it.

Long Version:

So we know that Neige lived with the Dwarfs since they were children, and that Neige leave rehearsals early to do chores at home. As mentioned by Vil in Book 6

(Translation by Otome Ayui on Youtube)

So like, where are his parents? Or guardians, for that matter? Why is a child out here raising themselves, and seven other children? Maybe Neige does have parents but they're neglectful, or absent.

I don't wanna go so far as to say they might be dead since we don't have enough proof of that yet. But still.

What if Neige acts all cute and nice because he's afraid of disappointing others and then leaving him, and this stems from the fact that he was pretty much alone as a child, and doesn't want people to abandon him again.

To be clear, I think Neige's friendly, relatable personality IS real, and he is genuinely a good person (I despise those posts where they make Neige deceivingly nice) he just doesn't know how to set boundaries because he doesn't want to disappoint his fans and the people around him.

Maybe Neige does know that Vil doesn't like him, and that hurts because Neige really sees Vil as a friend, and knowing that Vil doesn't like him is terrifying to him because that means he'll leave him.

You are not even among us yet but I already love you and I will protect you

A penny for your thoughts on the hypothetical twisted version of RSA's Cinderella?

Ooh, Cinderella’s next?

Time to use this opportunity to come up with some short Trein theories too.

More below the cut, since I continue to ramble forever.

Continuar lendo

Raven-san, what are your thoughts on a hypothetical twisted version of Belle from Beauty and the Beast? A student or a teacher?

Belle? Beau! I’ve got a shorter set of thoughts for this fellow.

Beau is RSA’s eccentric librarian! They say that his father was a genius inventor—maybe that explains why students often walk in on him taping bubble gum and pencils together to make some new contraption? He has also been known to be caught talking to furniture and inanimate objects.

Being the librarian, of course Beau loves reading, and often encourages RSA’s students to join him in the pursuit of knowledge. He’s not particularly interested in romance—he’d rather be cuddling with animals, or talking to a chipped tea cup!

His favorite food is rose jam (although he once tried this delicious grey stuff that he’s been trying to recreate in his kitchen). His Unique Magic? It would be cool if he could somehow project or animate storybooks, breathing new life into them. It’s great for teaching and getting students engaged with the material!

Beau and Vargas are...strange friends. Vargas is always inviting Beau to go hunting or to a bar with him, and Beau insists right back that they go to a book store or quaint area in town to relax. It’s often Beau that has to drag Vargas away from droning on and on to locals about his muscles or feats of bravery.

If you want to hear my thoughts on any other hypothetical staff/students, consider sending in an ask!
