Another Twisted Wonderland theory time! This round it’s about Night Raven College and its Headmage, Dire Crowley.
I’m catching up to Chapter 4 and one of the NPCs said this.
Then I was like-
Night Raven does not act like a big name university financially. What prestigious university has a rotting building with ghosts from a century ago in it(which really means that’s how long it’s been sitting there decaying until Yuu started inhabiting it). Furthermore, if it was such a prestigious university it could’ve handled one more student in the event of an exchange student or someone like Yuu coming along. Crowley was clearly able to let Kalim enroll on such short notice. Which has made me come to the following: Dire Crowley is a con artist who’s stealing money from the school for his own pleasure.
First off: So far there are at least five families who are rich who’s kids go to Night Raven( Schoenit, Draconia, Asim, Shroud, Kingscholar), and the Asim family paid for Kalim’s way into school. Not only that but Crowley gets 10% of the Monstro Lounge’s profits. There should be no reason as to why Ramshackle wasn’t fixed before Yuu got here. Which leads me to believe that Crowley is taking all the money the school gets, and putting it into his pockets. An example would be during Chapter 4, when Crowley goes on a vacation. A vacation that he really shouldn’t have been able to afford, when you think about the school’s financial situation.
Which leads me to an answer as to how Crowley is getting extra money aside from the donors. Crowley is consistently coming Hard Insurance Fraud. How do I know you ask? It’s easy, the answer right under our noses. The overblots are Crowley’s way of committing insurance fraud.
In the Heartslabyul chapter, Crowley was standing directly in front of Riddle as he was dangerously close to overblotting and even suggested the idea of a duel which further progressed the overblot. Crowley did nothing to stop Riddle when he could’ve done anything. Of course, the overblot damaged some of the school property. This leads me to believe Crowley is purposefully letting students overblot so he can claim property insurance money, and use it for himself.
Of course, there’s no proof of said property damage if someone from the insurance company wanted to visit, because it’s usually fixed by magic so no one can tell whether or not the insurance money was used to fix the damage.
Another instance of possible insurance fraud was when Savanaclaw was injuring people to take them out of the competition. Most of these injuries were mild to serious and probably required a trip to the hospital at least. It wasn’t until a Heartslabyul student was pushed down the stairs by Ruggie (something that can be deadly in an instant) that Crowley intervened and asked Grim and Yuu to investigate. Sure, Crowley could take a couple of broken legs and sprained ankles, but someone accidentally dying from a push down the stairs or getting stomped to death by a stampede of people was too far.
In conclusion, Crowley let people get injured during Book 2 so he can claim the insurance checks from their injuries. Assuming the student’s families don’t use their own insurance policies when their students are living their for the year.
Crowley is con artist!
Real
thinking about being on top and feeling confident bc you think you control the pace. you’re in charge now and what a feeling until you realize they’re just holding your hips while you grind and they pound into from beneath. they bounce you and hold you down and :( :((((
Ehem. Let's do this again.
"With this hand, I will lift your sorrows."
"Your cup will never be empty, for I will be your wine."
"With this candle, I will light your way in darkness."
"With this ring, I ask you to be mine."
I hate the double standards
When trump won the american elections, people offered support. 'hey americans, you can move here if you want'. Everyone always made sure to specify that it was trump supporters/republicans/conservatives/the right wing/capitalism that wanted reggressive shit.
But here, no one specifies that it's the marcos supporters or the institutions or the political dynasties that helped brought fascism back. It's filipinos. 'you chose this' they'd say. 'i want nothing to do with filipinos and the philippines' they'd say. 'we thought you guys knew better' they'd say.
It makes me angry and bitter. People are starting to treat us like dangerous fascists, as if they're the ones who's gonna be affected by what's happening in our country.
It shows their ignorance. A simple google search can tell you that our institutions are corrupt as fuck and has a long and ongoing history of playing the people, and redtagging those who speak up.
And the election campaign itself? Marcos asked cambridge analytica to 'rebrand' his family's image back in 2020.
The appointed elections commissioner is the guy that served as marcos' lawyer during the election protest launched against leni robredo back in the 2016 vice presidency!
Marcos claimed to be an oxford graduate but oxford says he didn't even finish his degree.
He's a convicted tax evader back in 1995. That alone should've disqualified him. But because he didn't get prison time (because the conviction was downgraded to 'failure to file tax returns' in 1997), he still went through.
There was so much disinformation. So much bribery. And even on the election day, shit happened with machines malfunctioning and ballots were unsecure.
We do not choose fascism. Our shitty institutions run by political dynasties are pushing it onto us through lies and force.
Some twin you are 💀
Hi I have a request for an sagou Au
This will be a imposter Au but ok ok here's the twist the Devine that the find first is Your twin and now they think your pretend to them so the reader is trying to go to their twin with out being executed
-☕️
Note: I didn’t follow your prompt perfectly, just because the train of thought I had diverted very quickly. Heh, sorry (>_<;)
CW: Swearing, reader gets hurt
Nothing makes sense right now.
There’s no ”creator” in the game.
The only other person that looks like you is your twin.
Who you haven’t seen in weeks!
That’s why you were digging through their stuff in the first place. You usually wouldn’t go looking through their stuff but this was an emergency situation.
Where did they go?!
And then suddenly you’re on the ground in the grass and not their bedroom. Your senses overwhelmed by your new surroundings.
The way you’re so enraptured and in awe of the water and cliffs and statue of Morax is quickly interrupted by what sounds like a whoosh and then burning. Someone has teleported behind you.
You’re yanked off the ground and hauled to your feet, the voice of your closest adeptus friend– (at least that’s what you liked to imagine)– speaking darkly.
“How dare you. You think you can deceive me? Your attempt to copy my creator’s face has only earned you my hatred.” He summons his mask and spear, “you will have no mercy from me.” He thrusts forward, and you flinch back.
“Wait!”
The tip barely pokes through your shirt.
“Who dares protect this disgusting imposter?”
“Great adepti,” the tengu general runs up to you two, “I am not trying to protect them. I simply have a suggestion that may please our creator more than a lifeless corpse.”
You’re tense in Xiao’s grasp. You consider struggling, but your limbs betray you. You don’t even dare to breathe.
“We are both making our way to Stormterror’s Lair to see our great creator, right? Why not take this imposter prisoner and see that they feel the full gravitus of their crimes? We should see that they suffer under their own guilt and disgust for copying our creator’s face.”
You’re mortified by her words. You don’t want to hear any more. You don’t think beyond that as you start running, yanking yourself out of Xiao’s grip and running down the small slope. You should have known that it would be futile. Against an adeptus or tengu alone, winning would be impossible. Your odds are only made worse when a thin blue string suddenly wraps around you and Yelan suddenly appears before your eyes.
“Oh no you don’t.”
“Hmph.” Xiao looks at you in scorn. If looks could kill you’d be dead three times over under the gaze of these beloved characters.
You’re not sure you want to meet this “creator.” If they’ve ordered all the main characters to execute people based on looks alone, you’d hate to see what they do themselves. Then again… if they look like you, they could be your twin. But your twin isn’t that cruel. They can be a massive idiot and way too resentful at times but not murderous.
Then again… it only makes sense that you get the shitty side of this fate and your sibling gets the wonderful role of playing god. You swear that’s how it always happens. You always get the short end of the stick.
You squirm in your bindings and wince when they automatically tighten around you, digging into your skin.
“Stop resisting,” Sara is stern as always, “we should take them to the creator. It only makes sense for them to give divine punishment to such deceitful beings.”
“No. We shouldn’t bother them with such lowly scum.”
“...what if the creator gives them mercy?”
The two generals turn towards the spy.
“We should take this one to the creator. That way they can let everyone know what their decision is. If we execute this person now, when the creator would have spared them, then we’ll be the monsters.”
“But–”
“Xiao. I know. I don’t want this bastard to get away with this either. It’s revolting that anyone would have the audacity to try and mimic our supreme god, but this is the best decision. If we are punished for wasting the creator’s time, I will take full responsibility. Now come on. I don’t want to wait to see them any longer.”
Yelan tugs on the line, and you start walking behind her, fearing what might happen if you don’t comply.
Xiao holds his tongue and follows. He could easily teleport and make his way to Stormterror’s Lair, the creator’s chosen home, easily. But he wants to keep an eye on you, even if looking at you makes him angry.
Sara walks alongside Yelan, they briefly exchange greetings and introductions before going silent. All three of you travel in silence until you make it to the intersection where you can see Dawn Winery down the way, where you run into some of the Knights of Favonius.
Amber looks shocked to you, and Lisa’s vision starts to glow. Kaeya doesn’t even pass a witty quip. He and Diluc share the same serious, angry expressions.
You really have attracted everyone’s ire.
You look away from them. You wish you could disappear. You just wanted to find your twin. Now you’re walking towards your own execution at the hands of those you imagined to be your friends.
You try to speak to them, try to say something in your defense, but Kaeya shuts you up with a simple threat.
“Open your mouth again, and I’ll freeze your tongue all the way down to your stomach.”
You look down at your feet. You want to cry.
The journey to Stormterror’s Lair is long. You’re not used to walking for so many hours. You trip and stumble a lot more as time goes on. Diluc scoffs at your lack of coordination. He probably believes you’re doing this on purpose, trying to slow them down to prevent your ultimate demise.
Things aren’t perfectly silent anymore thanks to Lisa, who casually talks to the others. You can’t help but feel at ease by their voices. You loved listening to their voice lines, sometimes their battle lines got tiring but hearing them talk as real people is oddly thrilling and makes you happy. It’s especially comforting to feel the tension ease after being put under the heat of their stares.
You trip and fully fall over as you reach the entrance to the ruins of the city. You struggle to get back up with your arms pinned behind. Diluc seems to have had enough with you as he hulas you up, but instead of setting you on your feet, he throws you over his shoulder.
“C’mon. We’ve been delayed long enough. We should cover ground faster this way.”
You assume the others nod, because you hear nothing before you feel a sudden lurch and then wind blowing past you as your carrier starts running.
They make their way into the city quickly. You feel dizzy as you’re jostled around.
They make their way into the central tower, and you’re dropped on the cobblestone.
You look up to see that the tower has changed greatly. It’s no longer in ruins. It looks like a real palace. Banners hang against the columns, a hanging chandelier, and a large circular rug at the center. Most important of all are the archons standing next to the giant dragon who is laying on the rug. D’valin almost looks like a house pet, curled up on the rug.
You marvel at the sight. Zhongli, Ei, Venti, Nahida, even the Tsaritsa. She’s even more beautiful than you imagined.
As you follow along the dragon’s body you realize that there’s someone tucked under his wing, reading a book. That someone… They look just like you.
So the acolytes weren’t lying. Their great and marvelous creator is practically an exact replica of you. Except they have slightly different cheekbones, and their nose isn’t the same shape. This is definitely your twin.
You cry out their name and are instantly hit with a blast of ice.
“Who dares speak the creator’s name?” Zhongli’s rich, deep voice echoes through the tower.
You can feel the hairs on your neck stand up as electricity crackles in the air, which becomes restless as the winds pick up.
“We bring an imposter before you—,” Sara begins.
“Why do you waste the time of our great creator with such scum?” Even though she’s insulting you, you can’t help but be enchanted by the Tsaritsa’s voice.
“That’s what I said,” Xiao mutters.
“I deeply apologize if I have made a mistake, but I felt the need to bring them before the creator to ensure that the correct decision was made. I have heard the many stories of the creator being merciful to their enemies. I have also heard the many recallings of their strength and power. I did not think it appropriate of me to make such a decision on their behalf. Once I know their decree, I will never bother them with such a trivial matter again.”
You can’t help but feel amused and annoyed by all of this formality and praisal towards your twin. They certainly don’t deserve to be treated like a god when the last interaction you had with them was them bullying you about how you built your team and characters. You want to tell these poor people about all the times your sibling was a massive asshole to you. Tell them that they might as well be buying snake oil from them if they truly believe them to be their creator. Neither of you had anything to do with the creation of Genshin. They’ve got the wrong people.
Then again… if you mentioned that, you both might be executed.
You sigh, forgetting you’re being heavily scrutinized and thus are kicked in the stomach.
“How dare you act disappointed in the midst of our highest god.” It seems Xiao is finally getting his chance to take his anger out on you.
Why? Why aren’t they doing anything? Why aren’t they saying anything? Don’t they care that you’re being beaten up by these people?
You’re hauled by your biceps only to be dropped once again, but this time only a few feet from the archons.
The bindings dissipate.
You force yourself onto your hands and knees. You look up and see them all looking down on you. A deep, soul shaking shudder goes through you. Your twin looks distressed, but they say nothing.
Then…
I’m sorry
They mouth.
The Raider Shogun’s cold voice reaches your ears, “Let it be known that all imposters will be executed on sight.”
Vines climb up through the cobble and wrap around your arms and legs. You’re stuck in the position on your hands and knees. The stone quakes beneath you, and the temperature in the room drops. You feel the air start being sucked out of your lungs, the water in your body is painfully forced out of your pores, and your insides heat up. You aren’t even conscious by the time the Musou No Hitotachi comes down on you, ensuring that you don’t awaken from the darkness.
A tear rolls down your twin’s cheek. They can’t bear to watch you be executed.
Again.
But it’s the greatest mercy they can grant you.
At least you get to wake up.
At least you get to go back home.
Unlike them.
They’re trapped in this game.
Chained to a throne.
You always come back.
But they’re determined to make sure you don’t get trapped like them.
They hope one day they’ll be able to make it back out to you.
They at least want to share one more birthday with you.
One happy memory to help them endure every time they have to watch you be murdered by their…
friends.
PLS
On the subject of mermen and mermaids, I’m trying to think of a serious idea but the only thing that comes to mind is… A shy merman or maid, possibly with social anxiety, having a crush on a human. But all they can think of doing to show their interest is… catching fish and throwing it at said human.
Not giving it.
Throwing it. Like at the head. And then vanishing under the waves again while the human tries to figure out WTF just happened.
