History NightmareFuel / TwistedWonderland

** Jade also gets a more subtle moment when he attempts to use "Shock The Heart" on Kalim, coming to him as someone seemingly concerned for his well being but then using that moment of vulnerability to cast his spell. While Kalim was able to pull off a NoSell, it definitely reminds the player how downright slimy Jade can be with people who don't have enough willpower to counter him.

** During each overblot the victim was pretty much a hair away from ''killing'' either an individual target or a group of people. Riddle nearly killed Ace, Leona nearly killed Ruggie and countless others in the area, Jamil intended for Kalim/the Octavinelle trio/Yuu and Grim to not survive getting flung far into the desert, Vil nearly killed his bandmates as well as himself, Idia and Ortho tried to actively destroy humanity, and Malleus unwittingly endangered ''the entirety'' of Twisted wonderland. And while they do ultimately face some form of retribution for these actions, the overblotters never face severe consequences such as expulsion and many of the cases have been covered up in different degrees. Worse is that Crowley has yet to makes any meaningful attempts to better prevent future cases, especially as these victims are the very leaders (and vice president in Jamil's case) of the dorms. And if his words in the final moments of Pomefiore mean anything, it's heavily implied that Crowley might have let them all overblot on ''purpose''.

** Floyd's...expressions...whenever he feels particularly violent or threatening. Sometimes he looks straight out of his mind, and sometimes he has this unsettling, stunned-like appearance that almost looks like ''he's'' being threatened.

* When the group arrives at the Silver Owl's fortress, Lilia is seriously injured due to TakingTheBullet for Silver. They then receive word that the fortress was nothing but a ploy, and that Henrik, the Dawn Knight, and all of the Silver Owls are sieging the castle where Mallenoa and the unborn Malleus are in...

** After he overblots Malleus does not have the [[VoiceOfTheLegion echo effect]] to his voice that the other victims have had thus far. SanitySlippage aside, Malleus is still ''fully in control of himself somehow'', and this has three equally unnerving possible explanations for such -- he's so powerful he can avoid the negative effects of overblotting for longer than anyone else, he knew he would most likely overblot if he went through with his plan and ''did it anyway'', or ''he intentionally overblotted'' in order to ensure no one could stop him.
** It's actually even worse since Malleus has access to what is called "Domain Magic", meaning that he can alter anything and everything to his will as long as it's within his magic's scope. And given that scope is starting to move beyond Sage Island...

** And [[FromBadToWorse even worse?]] Ortho brings up the possibility of a popular FridgeHorror regarding the ''Sleeping Beauty" curse, namely that it possible that those under Malleus's spell will eventually ''die'' if their bodies run out of nutrition.

** On a more subtle note is how Malleus announces what his "blessing" to everyone will be, saying things like they will "be reborn" and will no longer know of any sorrow. As seen in numerous cases these are phrases that wouldn't be surprising from the mouths of ''cult leaders'', further not helped in how Malleus kept the details of [[ForcedSleep what exactly the gift was]] withheld.

* Chapter 7 Part 2. Dear lord. Unlike previous chapters where the overblot process is gradual and occurs late, '''''Malleus overblots early''''' and he envelops the entirety of Sage Island in thorns and puts everyone to sleep so he can ensure that everyone stays happy in the dream world he'll weave for them. Chapter 7 part 2 ends with Malleus humming to a tune reminiscent of "Once Upon a Dream" as [[CloseOnTitle the title screen fades in]]. And unlike the sweet, dreamlike tone that the original the context makes this version of the song '''creepy'''.

*** This is now way more nightmarish as of Main Story Chapter 7. The entire event might have been subtle {{Foreshadowing}} for Malleus' plan there.

And if his words in the final moments of Pomefiore mean anything, it's heavily implied that Crowley might have let them all overblot on ''purpose''.

* While it is not particularly surprising that [[StalkerWithoutACrush Rook]] [[MeaningfulName Hunt]] "hunts" other students out of pure fascination and desire to find beauty in everything and everyone (and apparently non-human students in particular), his room further reveals that he hides photos (heavily implied to be of students he's targeted) behind the wallpaper, which [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything begs the question of just how far he takes his "hunts"]] (This was later mitigated when the ending of chapter 5 reveals Rook being a huge fan of Neige, meaning that that the photo's behind the wallpaper are actually his collection of Neige's photos and bromides that he collected over the years, but still jarring to see.)

* Right before Riddle overblots he turns the atmosphere of the whole dorm are literally grim dark, and then he traps Ace in levitating rose bushes then summons a flurry of [[PetalPower rose petals]] with full intent of [[DeathByAThousandCuts murdering Ace.]] And Riddle would have actually done it had Trey not used "Doodle Suit" / "Paint The Roses" to overwrite his magic in time.

* The lead up to Azul's overblot. When Azul realizes Leona just destroyed his contracts he loses his calm and collective composure, screaming and lashing out on how he doesn't want to be that "dumb, chubby octopus". He then appears to cool down...only for him to lash out ''again'', this time getting a hold of any student he can get his hands on and [[PowerParasite completely drain them of their magic until they lose conciousness.]] All the while the lounge becomes engulfed in black mist, and then Floyd notices [[OhCrap the black goo dripping out of Azul...]]
* The Scarabia chapter begins with Jamil using his unique magic [[MindManipulation Snake Whisper]] to hypnotize Yuu into joining him for Scarabia's training regiment and then keeps both Yuu and Grim imprisoned under the guise that it was an increasingly unstable Kalim's orders who acts like everyone's best friend one minute and then a cruel DrillSergeantNasty the next. And the cause of Kalim's extreme mood swings? None other than Jamil hypnotizing Kalim to force the dorm into grueling exercises that nearly causes its members to collapse from exhaustion, all so Jamil could paint Kalim as a ruthless monster and make himself look better in comparison.

** Mixes with Tearjerker is the situation from Kalim's perspective: all throughout his life he has been the target of multiple kidnappings and assassination attempts, and then the ''one'' person that he has come to trust decides to backstab him in one of the worst ways. It's truly astonishing that Kalim has it in him to not only keep Jamil at his side but by all accounts forgive him completely, as many, ''many'' is his shoes would become at the very least paranoid.

* On a lesser note, while the situation between Vil and Epel was a bit more complex Deuce, an outsider, saw Vil's treatment of Epel as abusive and outright told Vil word for word that he can't force Epel into doing stuff he doesn't really want to. Instead of trying to at least explain the full situation, Vil simply writes off that reasoning as nothing more than "an excuse" and later treats Deuce and the rest of the VDC team similarly until Epel snapped.

* Chapter 6 reveals that there is, in fact, a special force meant to deal with cases where overblot victims are completely incapable of being able to be cured and go back to normal: The Charon op force ran by the organization S.T.Y.X. which is headed by the Shroud family. They send out massive, unstoppable robots (or agents) with anti-magic armor to track down the "specimens", by brute force if need be, then take them back to headquarters to most likely be experimented on. And even though everyone who had overblotted thus far had recovered fully they are still hunted down and captured along with Grim and Crowley.
** What makes this even more terrifying is that Leona mentions how magicians that were brought to S.T.Y.X will never come back, and he's not sure if he's going to be walking out of this one and makes sure to tell Ruggie not to try anything stupid when handing himself over.

* We Learn that the Isle of Lamentation has at least 1,000 Phantoms frozen in storage! It's made even creepier by the fact S.T.Y.X sometimes lets them wander the halls of their facility!!
* How the chapter segment ends. Ortho hears a voice telling him to follow, except there are two things wrong with that: First, it's his voice (Or to be more accurate, the boy he was based on), second it lures him to Tartarus, where most of the Phantoms are kept. While there have been hints that something's not normal about Ortho, this is well and truly terrifying.
** The fact that Phantom!Ortho seems Sentient to a degree. The other two Phantoms known were raving lunatics consumed by their greed for magic stones (The Phantom in the Dwarf mines, Grim.) Phantom!Ortho, on the other hand? Still unhinged, but it's wrapped up in a calm calculating matter.

** Not only do Phantoms and rogue Charon units escape the facility and begin attacking nearby civilians, Phantom Ortho also has no qualms about injuring and capturing defenseless S.T.Y.X personnel so that he can use them as npcs for his "game" with the captured Night Raven students.
* Minor compared to the above, but the fact that S.T.Y.X has a mind-wiping program called the Lethe River that's used to erase the organization's more unsavory deeds. Idia had all intentions to use this on the overblotters until it got severely wrecked during the fallout.
* Chapter 7 Part 2. Dear lord. Unlike previous chapters where the overblot process is gradual and occurs late, '''''Malleus overblots early''''' and he envelops the entirety of Sage Island in thorns and puts everyone to sleep so he could ensure that everyone stays happy in the dream like world he'll weave for them. Chapter 7 part 2 ends with Malleus humming to the tune of "Once Upon a Dream" as the title screen drops, and unlike the sweet dream like tone that the original song had, the context makes the song '''creepy'''.

* Unlike in the game, it reveals more about the side effects of overblots as the victim starts leaking unknown black substance from their heads. As Riddle keeps overusing his magic further, he undergoes a painful transformation as he engulfs in a pool of blots while screaming in anguish.

** Right before that the player is treated to yet another HopelessBossFight against Malleus right before he casts [[ForcedSleep "Fae of Maleficence"]]. His HP? ''300,000''. For reference, the chimera from the prologue was only 99,999 HP. ''And this is'' '''''before''''' ''overblotting!''
