Malleus Facts Part 1: Family (pt1)

We will occasionally hear information about Malleus’ sole blood relative, his grandmother.

We learn she has impressed upon him that barging in somewhere uninvited is the height of rudeness, taught him that humans often fear them, told him tales of the Scalding Sands (“But we haven’t heard much about the country since things became peaceful here”), and more.

Malleus mentions receiving cufflinks, cards and rose seeds for his birthday, saying that he cannot help but admire her thoughtfulness.

Malleus says that Lilia and his grandmother are the only people who ruffle his hair in a certain way.

He says “having siblings seems rather complicated” after discussing their families with Trey and Cater, but follows with, “one should treat their family with respect.”

Malleus also says his childhood was so long ago that he can barely remember any of it now.

In an extremely rare reference to his parents, Malleus wonders if they, his grandmother and Lilia toiled in the hopes of giving their descendants a happy, peaceful life.

Sebek says that while his grandfather has shared many tales of heroics about the Draconia family and Lilia, they never spoke much about Malleus’ mother Maleanor, or about how Malleus’ parents died:

“I've read many books to gain a greater understanding of Briar Valley and our ruler…but hardly any of them touched upon such topics.”

In Book 7 we learn that Maleanor was the princess of the Land of Briar 400 years ago (before it became Briar Valley).

Maleanor was his grandmother, Maleficia’s, only child and a key figure in the country’s defense, as commander of the royal guard.

Lilia describes Maleanor as so powerful that the rest of them combined would not stand a chance against her:

“She's also unruly, quick to start fights, selfish, and irascible...not to mention incredibly spiteful. Lady Maleanor is Briarland's most menacing figure.”

Lilia says she'd complain about food, refusing to eat jerky when they were children until Raverne stewed it for her:

“And of course she fawned over Raverne all the while, making passive-aggressive remarks like, ‘You're the only one I can depend on.’ ...maybe that's where the difference between him and me lies. And here I was the one to actually bring the food.”

chapter 275

okay. you know there's this scene in chapter 275 where chu wanning rushes to the site of mo ran's trial on his cutesy "paper " dragon?

i love that scene so much.

cwn cries.

2ha is majorly from mo ran's pov, and before 275 you get plenty chances seeing mo ran wallow in guilt and struggle between loving cwn and confessing to cwn what unforgiveable things he did in his past life --

and cwn loves him, he's shy about his love, but since they established their relationship up till this chapter, cwn is mostly passive in the relationship -- i don't mean this as a bad thing, but you don't really see what cwn wants -- he's very very much permissive with whatever mo ran wants to do with him, and he doesn't say no.

but in 275, he fucking cries, he lies low on the cutesy paper dragon and weeps, because he fears for mo ran the judgement that would come onto him.

he tears up so little, like meatbun says everyone just thinks he's the unreachable "white moonlight" the most honourable person in the world -- but for mo ran he breaks down, gets really vulnerable, and at the end of the day he is just a lover freaking out for the atrocities their partner is about to suffer.

also in the scene where cwn consoles mo ran in his semi-confession/breakdown, and the ending scene where cwn flees back their home at the nanping mountains, cwn is leading taking charge in their relationship and it shows, how much he loves mo ran, how deep the love is.

their relationship and experiences are so fucked up but i love their love so much it's fucking beautiful.
