big fan of essek thelyss, not the fanon interpretation, which is either "smol bean, tiny fragile elf who's a sweetheart and basically a child" or people mistakenly calling betrayal of one's home country a "war crime" and then proceeding to be flippant about it anyway, but the real Essek
pretentious motherfucker that committed treason bc he though he was smarter than everyone else
learned to float literally just to impress other rich people
canonically neutral evil
basically head spymaster of his country and master of lies but sucks shit lying to his friends
stayed bitchy even after his redemption arc
"there is nothing I would love more than to not be around you all for the remainder of this day"
a space wizard that crushed someone with telekenesis just to show off (the person was already dying)
sexy feet, nice ass, overall hottie
fell in love with a traumatized wizard of his enemy country and it was mutual despite all the betrayal
faggot
gave away state secrets to enemy wizard bc he though he was sexy
discovered time travel with his boyfriend
proceeded to say they shouldn't use time travel (bc now he's a good boy) but was willing to sacrifice everything and help if his bf wanted to use it
once confessed he had such a bad fight with his dad that his dad ran into the demon caves and never returned (essek doesn't feel bad about this at all)
young for an elf but still 120 years old, he called his bf "young man" and flexed on him about how much more evil he is

👏 okay, so
under the influence of the forbidden magic magnifico just had to dabble in despite his adoring wife telling him not to, he actually has a very hazy memory of all the things he did during that time span
[[disclaimer: this isn't a post about to excuse his actions or claim he's innocent because of that influence—he willingly and in conscious awareness of the possible repercussions of dark magic still decided to use it and should be held accountable. but anyway—]]
he was exceptionally drunk with power (and i use that term very literally here) from the moment he opened the book and started using it. that effect only amplified the more he stole the power of the wishes for himself: each broken wish heightening the magic's control over him until, by the time he was capturing star, he was totally unhinged and barely had any conscious control over his actions
the magic feeds into and intensifies the negative traits he already has: all that narcissism, that hunger for power, that overwhelming arrogance. it has to draw from something, but it still is the reason magnifico goes so completely feral by the end of things
when he's trapped in the mirror, he's himself again—his cognizance is back—but his ability to recollect every little thing he did is foggy (and at first, he still fully believes he was in the right for using the book to begin with; so, yes, still not excused)

✘ Any unpopular opinions about your muse?
♧ Any part of their canon portrayal you dislike?
☯ Is your muse liked or disliked by fandom? Does this affect your portrayal?
the mun's interpretation
— @yunalai
✘ Any unpopular opinions about your muse?
i sort of answered here and like i said i don't? really know what are the popular opinions about her but hm i guess that her heroic image shouldn't be taken at face value, that she isn't endlessly gentle and wouldn't put peace before her hatred for noxians, and what i'm yelling all the time about her being gentle and soft but also ruthless and violent because she is both.
♧ Any part of their canon portrayal you dislike?
also answered here! can't think of anything i dislike that was done with her other than sentinels of light event, but i do dislike some things aren't better developed, such as her stance on the vastaya and their conflict with other ionians. for someone so involved in everything ionia i think it's a huge oversight, even though i have my personal Thoughts and Opinions on how she feels about all that.
☯ Is your muse liked or disliked by fandom? Does this affect your portrayal?
to answer the second question first, no, the fandom's opinion doesn't affect my portrayal at all. part of that is that i simply don't keep up with it, i guess? i've stumbled on plenty of Takes online that dislike irelia's new lore/personality post rework, but i don't think she's widely hated or loved? there's plenty of people who like her too. but yeah i don't tend to keep up with it so it doesn't affect my portrayal at all.
even if i did, though, it likely wouldn't affect how i write her, only make me more critical of fandom takes or extra defensive and love her harder if people hated her because that's usually what happened when i wrote characters people had many Opinions about ksanfksajdnf
