#it’s a matter of ego perhaps 😅
Hello happy late Halloween👻. I asked you this earlier but I didn't know that request were closed. I'm sorry😅 Can I have a headcannon where Dark, Anti and Wilford's separately. Dress up in couple costumes with their s/o for Halloween. Like would their s/o have to bribe them into doing it ;-) or would they do it and what costumes do you think they would wear.
Halloween Magic | Wilford Warfstache, Darkiplier & Antisepticeye HCs
Word count: 758
Warnings: None
Summary: Short, fluffy headcanons about getting these egos into couple-themed Halloween costumes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wilford Warfstache
Honestly, Wilford would be very excited to dress up with his S/O. He absolutely adores Halloween, mostly because of the costumes and trick-or-treating. He may be a grown man, but nothing could stop him from going door to door.
His S/O wouldn’t have to bribe him; he’d already have half a dozen couple costume ideas in the works. If anything, he’d have to bribe his S/O to dress up with him.
Cost doesn’t matter to him; his S/O wants professionally made costumes? Done. He’s got a highly rated seamstress ready to take measurements so that everything is absolutely, positively perfect. Nothing is too much for the perfect Halloween costume.
As for what kind of costumes he and his S/O would wear, pretty much anything is game. Silly, serious, evil, good, you name it, he’s down for it. Though he would prefer something silly and goofy.
He’d go for a reporter crew kind of gig (he might even recruit the Jims to complete the ensemble), or maybe animal costumes: sharks, dogs, cats, whatever his S/O prefers. He’d also do some classic movie couples like Mary Poppins and Jack, Bonnie and Clyde, or perhaps something from The Wizard of Oz. Classic movie couple themed costumes.
Overall, Wilford Warfstache is one to party hard on Halloween, and will do just about anything to be able to dress up with his S/O in silly, goofy couple costumes.
Darkiplier
Now this is a man who would rather die than dress up in some cheap, silly costume. Don’t get me wrong, he enjoys Halloween, but in a more… sophisticated fashion. He likes attending formal parties and celebrating in that way.
His S/O will really have to try and convince him to even toying with the idea of dressing up in a couple’s costume. Some form of bribery may need to be utilized. Beware: he will make use of any favors, pleads, and deals, so do watch yourself.
If his S/O has somehow convinced him to participate in this Halloween “ritual,” Dark will have several stipulations about what kind of costumes are even allowed in his presence. It must be classy and refined; absolutely no hotdog and ketchup costumes. He is a gentle-demon after all.
Some of his favorite choices would be a vampiric couple, magical creatures, a king and his S/O, or anything relating to beauty, elegance, and refinery. He will pay any price, mostly because he refuses to wear cheap Walmart or Amazon costumes. Absolutely not.
Under no circumstances will Dark go trick-or-treating. He finds it childish and irksome so prepare to attend sophisticated parties or functions. Nothing but the most elegant celebrations for his S/O to shine in.
At the end of the night, all that matters to this stoic demon is that his S/O is happy and enjoying themself. Depending on his mood, he may even call upon that favor/bribe his S/O promised and push them against a wall for a hot makeout; perhaps as punishment for the costumes, or as his reward~
Antisepticeye
Anti is quite the unpredictable character. He’s not optimistic about dressing up in a couple’s costume but he’s also not opposed to the idea either. He loves Halloween for all its spooks and horrors, not the funny, weird costumes humans wear.
His S/O might have to try and convince him, especially if it’s a sillier costume. Be wary though: he will take advantage of any bribes/deals and twist them towards his favor—he is a demon after all.
As for costume themes, they cannot be slapstick or cringey. He'll prefer something horror-related, or at least a clever pun or epic movie costume. It has to have some meaning behind it.
He will absolutely go trick-or-treating or partying, if only to show his S/O off to onlookers, as he thinks they are absolutely gorgeous regardless of what costume they are wearing. He also wants to scare children, so his S/O might have to watch him.
They might join a costume contest just for the fun of it, and regardless if they win, Anti will be happy because he’s spending quality time with his lovely S/O. Seeing them laugh and smile is all he needs for everything to seem right in the world.
If he feels like it, he will definitely cash in his bribe once he and his S/O are home from a night of partying. Prepare for either a sexy makeout, endless tickles, a horror movie marathon, or even jumpscares.
—————
Well, there ya go! Some fluffy headcanons about these three egos and Halloween! Hope you enjoy.

Since I written this
I thought (and I still thinking) so much about it thanks to some of you guys and I get a new point of view about it.
1 ) So I just realize that “Everyone" thinks that nana replace yasu with ren .. I received so many messages and comments in every social I post about it like this :
Tumblr media
Hell No.
Ok. She love him , (yasu yes.) I think it me too indeed like I said before. ….But she also loves ren too! In 57👇chapter she felts so sad when ren said to her that perhaps it would be better to cancel the wedding because their love no needed to anything else especially of a piece of paper. So why she felt like she was dying there?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Because she loves ren. (!)…In another way but she loves ren too so much .
And another thing: no, yasu is not asexual. lol
2) I received something like this too👇
Tumblr media
Just to be honest in the story nana say that she becomes “in love“ or she feel she bonded with yasu, but after this moment.. and during That period of time that nana and ren were apart.. i believe in nana x ren... now I was just confused😐
Because ren has a very sad fate in the end in everypoint you can see his life . So even nana it is like this . Their are really our Sid An Nancy For real 😳😆…
SO again, ren was not perfect.. but either love it is perfect like dreams sometimes and it’s so illogical for everyone who we love. So I think they loved each other no matter what happened.
Its so clear that yasu loves nana (anyway poor miu for be “the replaced “ by yasu for his secret love for nana😅 😂 😳 no? ) and her love his presence … maybe she really loves him as well but its not my point now, I know she runs to yasu whenever she has a problem or when she has afraid of something. But sometimes we escape from the person who we love more because we are afraid of being hurt by the person we care most about. I know it’s illogical thing but it’s so real .
That’s why I believe and I hope, no matter in the manga or in the anime , Nana and Ren are soulmates. I think we have this idea that soulmates are "perfect" in a way and Ai Yazawahas a great way of showing you that'snot exactly true! Even soul mates don't get a happy ending because that's how Life is.
In the end my only hope is that nana love ren a little more no matter what .. despite knowing that yasu was or is still so special for her…🙏🏻 . i know im crazy that i still believe in nanaxren and their “love” no matter what Despite knowing that shions “thank you theory”in 77 chapters 👇 and that shin speech with nobu in 50chapter … im totally insane yep 👍
Anyway i feel that Nana still was hurt about rens decision of leave her years ago for his career but worst of it she was cold to him because she was jealous of reira for have steal ren s heart(especially just only Singing…) so I think nana was so confused about her ego and no because she doesn't love him anymore... that's why she didn't want to see him. She escapes from him because She was hurt.
So Their love its full of suffering about past issues not yet resolved.
… and despite this👇
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yea it’s so deep this panel, 👆 that I feel so sorry for ren sometimes just only thinking about it…(maybe it’s true this theory so this is the end of the story! ) but now I remember to myself there’s no a love of first class and love of second class in the end…. especially in this manga.😂
I think also in a strange way anyway that takumi loved hachi and her loved him despite the fact that he was a raper …..! ( For example . )
Omg 😳 yes ….and hachi still wanted to be there for him . This is so crazy but its like the story goes.
So what!? Love is not perfect. In the end.
————————————————————-
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Nana was so cute in this panel ☺️)
I decided to write it today because it’s Christmas so this means it’s a very special day for nanaxren lovers and supporters .
So… merry Christmas everyone 🫶

Could you perhaps share your thoughts on how le yandere genshin boys would handle falling in love with just...an absolute *slob* of a girl? Some tiny skinny ratty little thing with small tits, unbrushed hair, zero sex appeal, and the worst shrimp like posture known to man. She stays holed up in her dark musty room all day if she can afford it, more or less festering like a worm, and probably eats the most trashy snack like foods. Maybe she even drools and maybe even lisps and she's about as strong and athletic and charismatic as a half rotten toothpick. In short just...the absolute bottom of the barrel lmao.
Just find it hilarious to imagine these egotistical self absorbed men falling for the most mangy little pissant out of their proverbial female line up. I'm sure it actually ticks a *lot* them off, knowing they *should* be picking better, though honestly I feel like many would also develop an 'I can fix her' complex or revel in the fact that she's so undesirable and thus, insecure, they can use her as a constant source of ego boosting-juice lol
Reminds me of Tomoko! I loved Watamote when it came out... it’s wild, I just realized it came out literally 9 years ago, it felt like a lot less long ago than that to me 😅
Tumblr media
Anyhow, it's a given that the savior complex duo of Diluc and Zhongli would be all over that. It's like an alarm bell, a bunch of red arrows pointing to you reading "fix this!!" in their heads. Convince themselves that you're going to be so much happier in the environment and lifestyle that he'll set up for you... to be fair, this is one of the rare occasions in which that might not be entirely incorrect, since actually getting some sunlight would be genuinely good for you...
Zhongli in particular is big on fixing bad habits. Infantilizing as he always is, sigh. Absolutely no junk food allowed, would probably restrict your sugar intake, makes sure you drink lots of water. You're going to damage your spine if you sit like that, human bodies are so fragile... here, you can sit on his lap, that way he can sort of keep an arm around your waist so you don't slouch. Makes sure you get proper sleep, sets a bedtime for you even and will enforce it when necessary (and yes, you will be punished in some way if he comes in and finds you're still up doing something while laying in bed when he told you to sleep). That being said, to some extent he also enables your other behaviors that don't actually affect your health, such as seclusion and lack of significant activity. Can't have you actually being productive now, if that happened you might actually start to feel talented or capable, self-sufficient even, and may challenge your (to him) obvious need to be taken care of and inability to do so yourself.
Diluc has less reign over your eating habits (he barely makes food anyway, maids are there for a reason), and doesn't really know enough about health to be particularly concerned about it (not that he doesn't care, just doesn't realize how bad for you a lot of your habits are), but he does have a public image to maintain to all the estate visitors. It reflects badly on him if his wife (yes you're not legally married, it doesn't matter, they don't need to know that, it's not his fault Mondstadt has these stupid "consent" requirements so hush) isn't looking like the perfect image you should. So, whether you like it or not, you'll need to start dressing in the nice flowy clothes he got you, fix your hair (don't worry, the maids can do it for you if you can't, but you have to let them), and fix that thousand-yard stare of sleep deprivation and learn how to put on a nice smile and sweet, energetic voice. You'll do it for his sake, right?
Xingqiu more or less has the same thing going on. It's unsightly for you to not be perfectly presentable to the family and others... he'll have to get servants to fix that. But don't worry, much like with the winery maids, you don't have to lift a finger, the servants will take care of literally everything if you just sit there, they'll even dress you. They also have a private physician who can arrange a meal plan for you, make sure you're being properly fed. But as for speaking, no worries. Unlike with Diluc and needing you to be very polite and sweet (albeit still soft-spoken), Liyue culture is a little different -- you're expected to be completely silent unless spoken to, and even then, he will do most talking for you. So, no need to worry about being introverted or unable to speak in a way that sounds sophisticated, as long as you can sit quietly with your hands in your lap and look at the ground, you'll be set.
Venti would like to correct your eating and posture habits, but, ah... he's not really in a place to talk when his diet prioritizes alcohol over food, and slouches a lot when drunk. Still, he can force you to eat an apple every now and then to ensure you get your fruit intake. He's more concerned about the seclusion. Totally not good for you, you know! You need to come out here in the sunshine and fresh air with him. Honestly, he does think you'll be happier, but part of it is because he himself gets depressed pretty quickly if forced into a dark solitary room, and he wants to spend time with you, so, it's easier to force you to come out with him. Don't worry about any social inability though... he doesn't mind, and you don't need to speak to anyone besides him.
And then there is Xiao. Ideal. Perfect, even. You already sit around in the dark and never leave your room or socialize? Huh. Then, you won't even have to adjust to life with him. Excellent. All it will basically be is a room change. He doesn't really think to correct your posture, he has horrid posture too to be honest, always hunched over when sitting up in high places. You being weak is a plus too. That much easier to hold you down, maneuver you how he wants etc. And hopefully, you'll be content with his... limited diet. Unfortunately, he comes to learn the hard way that you will actually suffer negative health effects if you don't have at least some balance in your diet, so he'll just get Smiley Yanxiao to make whatever they have at the inn and bring it back to you.

Just discovered your page and where have you been all my life?? how impossible to ask for a NSFW gentle White? Of course he won't suddenly turn completely into a warm softie prince this would be terrifying actually,,,but Can't a miracle happen once where his sorry ass finally understands that the poor reader needs little caring and affection during and after times when they are intimate? & yes what I mean by -after- is aftercare
If this is too hard you can ignore it..
omg stop 😅
soft White isn't something I come across in requests often. i hope this is enough to not make him seem ooc

Tumblr media
Most people would call their lives uninteresting, but those who climb up the tower would say otherwise. The different types of people you would come across would scare you. White was one of those who would terrify you nearly daily.
Now White wouldn't threaten your life unless you actively tried to get rid of him. White was not a big softy, certainly not the type to show you affection. And the love that he would give you was frighteningly rough. It was a bit too much to deal with sometimes.
Fighting and gaining more strength was everything to White. You were a close second in priority when it came to his pride and your well-being.
There was suspicion inside of you that if you did leave his ass, he would come after you, no matter how badly you wanted to.
But would it kill White to be a little caring? To not view you as a fuck toy? White was direct and would readily profess his affection for you, but it was hollow. As if there was no love in those words, he only told you what you wanted to hear. There were instances when your heart truly did break. It was lonely yearning for the love you knew you would never have. You loved White.
Speaking of his pride, he would always offer you a grin whenever he noticed lovebites, bruises or marks on you. It served as a kind of declaration that you were solely his. Not like you would spare him any scratch marks.
White held you close at night. You felt safe but also in danger. He was big, intimidating, and also a slayer.
His dark eyes watched as you rolled from your right to your left, then onto your stomach, and a pained groan escaped your mouth.
You were aching. White would always leave you with more discomfort getting out of bed than getting into bed. White would only say sorry for hurting you afterwards. And it would sound so forced.
There were rare times when White would think about how he treated you. White would realise that he wasn't good for you, which built up his ego.
"Awe, you're not in pain, are you?" White teases.
You groan again, not attempting to move.
White's big, rough hands handled you in a way you couldn't describe. At first, rough sex wasn't a problem, and you started to love how White made you feel. But now and again, you wanted to feel loved. You needed to feel love. But this proud bastard couldn't even fathom what love was.
You wanted to break down in tears, corner him, scream and shout, express your feelings, insult his ego. Making him feel like he was an awful person wasn't what you wanted. You just wanted to make him shocked, surprised, even. White might see that emotion and challenge it, punish you for it, or maybe he'd see you were upset and try to console you. But White could never be as understanding as that.
Maybe you could avoid him and treat yourself better than White ever could. But no one could ever look down at you the way that White would. It always comes back to him.
"Not everything has to be so rough," you complain.
White huffs, his pride echoing in the sound. "But don't you prefer it like that? You never seem to complain,"
"You're an awful lover, White,"
Okay, you spoke your mind. Maybe it was exhaustion speaking, or perhaps you had had enough and decided to give White a piece of your mind.
"Shut the fuck up. I know you're only saying that to piss-"
"What do you think love is, White?" You ask sincerely, shifting yourself to look him in the eye. "Do you think it's something you can fake? If you're only saying you love me so you can have sex with me, I can tell,"
"Hold on,"
"For once, just let me moan and complain. I've had enough,"
His eyes widen, and shock captures his facial expression.
To White, you weren't just some weak and timid individual. You were someone to him. But would he let you get in the way of his pride? No way in hell. At least, that's what he tells himself. Sure, you were a safe space for him. You never once judged him or made fun of his strength, even if fear kept you quiet.
"If you don't love me, just tell me," you smile softly, "that way I can quell my feelings down if they're too much for you,"
"What are you walking about?" White asks, his voice low and threatening.
No, just no. If White wanted to take advantage of you now, you would have to kick him out of bed or leave.
"I always try to show you how much I love you," you state, "can you just be honest with me about how you feel about me?"
White clenched his fist. There was no way he could be open with someone. Admit his feelings and trust you not to share them with a soul? Fuck, it was tempting.
"I'll take your silence as proof that you couldn't care less, then,"
"Fuck that," White snaps, grabbing your shoulder and flipping you onto your back.
Those eyes of his looked like they were going to swallow you whole.
"Those marks look good on you," White remarks, his hand cupping your neck.
"I swear to God, I-"
"But when have I stated they're there just for decoration?"
You were confused. Why is White bringing this up now of all times?
"Stop trying to play dumb,"
"I've always loved watching your face whenever I fucked you," White starts, his hands under your knees, pushing them down and pinning them next to you on the bed, "I want to know if it remains that alluring if I try to be a little less rough on you,"
It wasn't going to last. As soon as White got impatient, he would revert to his old self. White wasn't loving. What is he thinking? And what was he trying to prove?
You try to relax as White's dick enters you, a hand moving up to his shoulder.
It didn't matter if he wanted to make himself look more like a man. White's eyes remained dark and dangerous.
White tried so hard not to turn you over and fuck you senseless, and the more he watched your soft, beautiful face, the more determined he was to keep a steady pace. Sure he didn't have the nerve to go too fast just yet, but he didn't want to be too slow, either.
No degrading comments left his mouth. White stayed silent as he focused on nothing but you. And as your soft moans and cries filled the room, he took the time to realise just how good you made him feel. Maybe letting his emotions out on you this way could be good for him, too.
You noticed his silence. "White," a cry escapes your lips, "why are you being like this?"
"What? You don't think that I can't show my love for you without being rough?"
"White," you moan softly.
His face hovers over yours. "I've never once lied about my feelings. You're just paranoid,"
Was this all a dream? You never could predict White to act this way at all. But what you were feeling was way too real to deny.
You weren't being loud enough to make the others hear you, but it was enough to encourage White.
What was happening? White was clingy but never the one to be as affectionate and loving as he was now.
Your hand fell from White's shoulder and instead clung to his arm.
"Are you going to look this good every time I fuck you like this?" White teases, staring at your face.
It was easier to focus on White as his pace and speed weren't as rough as it usually was.
Everything felt surreal. It felt genuine, but it was difficult to grasp reality because it was White, someone whose priority would be himself, not you.
You didn't have to strain your throat from all the soft moans and satisfied hums you made. But White loved hearing them - his face gave it away.
White may be bad at expressing his feelings, physically and verbally, but you started to feel it after he said it.
The feeling of your orgasm building wasn't as intense as it usually would be. It made you feel warm. You knew it was coming and had time to prepare for it.
Your fingers clung desperately onto White's arms as the feeling of your release came, your eyes closing as you came, your head sinking further into your pillow.
White was still going, and after a few desperate thrusts, he came, his eyes still watching you.
"I can't promise you anything, but don't expect that too often," White complains as he gets back into bed.
"You sound disappointed," you say.
"Why would I be?" White asks, his eyes locked onto your face again. "I've already admitted my feelings,"
"I almost forgot that you were White for a second. You sounded like a decent human earlier,"
"Pfft," White sounds, "like I'd ever stoop that low,"
"Would I be an exception?"
"Hmm," White pauses to think.
You knew he wasn't going to take that question seriously.
"Don't answer,"
"That depends on the situation," White leans close, his mouth against your temple, "your mine. Anyone who dares to take you away from me will get what's coming to them,"
White meant every word. He would kill to protect you. It was scary to think about, but he literally would kill. Maybe it was obsessiveness?
Still, you weren't White's first priority. But that didn't matter. The last thing you wanted to do was to test him.

Time to bother again 😅
Please give me all the Google Headcanons you can think of? He doesn't get enough attention in my opinion :P
You’re not being a bother at all! Honestly requests are quite motivating to actually make me post things, especially considering how burnt out I’ve been feeling for so long. So thank you for the request! 🤗💛
~ Google, due to obvious reasons, has access to everyone’s search history. He has more dirt on the egos than any other ego has–even Dark. The egos know this and as a result fear and respect him all the more for it and the power it gives him to keep them in check when it matters.
~ Google can solve a rubix cube in 2 seconds flat, which is an impressive feat no doubt and all the other egos would agree, but he’s still a bit peeved at himself for not being able to solve it in one second. Go figure.
~ During meetings, Google would much prefer wearing suits over a t-shirt and jeans, as he feels it gives off a more professional look. However, Wilford insists the iconic blue G tee is a must-wear for “branding purposes”, even if it leaves Google feeling more than a little annoyed with how underdressed he is compared to Dark.
~ Given he has all the knowledge of the internet at his beck and call, Google is an amazing artist, able to mimic even the most complex of paintings or drawings. As such, he’s painted many replicas of famous paintings, which caused him to get in more than a little trouble with Illinois one time when the adventurer thought he had stolen them and insisted they be returned to their museums. Meanwhile Yancy was already stealing Google’s replicas to try to replace with the real deals in another insane attempt to go back to prison.
~ Google has no real need to read most books, as all the info from them is usually instantly accessible on his hard drive, but he takes great pleasure in the act of reading and digesting information slowly when he gets the chance. As hotheaded and volatile as he can get at times, its a great way to make him calm and actually occasionally smile.
~ Google detested Bing at first when he was first introduced, finding the other android decidedly beneath him and faulty. But as time wore on he came to have a certain fondness for Bing that even he couldn’t fully deny, finding his quirks and differences akin to endearing rather than inferior. They may have both been a bit too arrogant at first to each other, but they are now considered good colleagues and even friends when Google is feeling generous enough to use the term.
~ Everyone's afraid of something, right? Well Google would beg to differ--at least in his case. He swears up and down he fears nothing, but he secretly fears the idea of having every trace of him and his personality erased, turned into nothing more than the helpful machine he was intended to be. Maybe he's not the friendliest or the kindest and maybe there isn't an actual beating heart in his chest, but he does feel more things than he was ever meant to and he's afraid of losing that and becoming something unrecognizable.
~ Y’know that secondary objection to destroy mankind? Yeah well Google still technically has it programmed into him and while he does occasionally bring it up still when he’s feeling particularly grumpy, he hasn’t really done much of anything to further that objection in quite some time. Years, in fact. Perhaps its the high position he has in the Manor and being Dark’s second in command that has stopped him. Or perhaps the feeling of having something like a family with the other egos and Y/N. Perhaps a mixture of box. But if you were to ask him he’d just say he totally still has something big planned. Sure, buddy, we believe you.

Recently - a week (or something like that) before - I was able to fully read one of the most exciting pieces of Napoleonic era correspondence I’ve ever found - letters from Metternich to Schwarzenberg and vice versa concerning all kinds of political, military and diplomatic affairs which took place in Europe from the second half of 1813 to the end of 1815! There is a bunch missing as usual but what was left is still an enormous treasure, since they deliver interesting factual details and reveal in its entirety the characters of those two prominent men.
I plan to do some translations into English as certain addresses and turns of phrases are truly wonderful. They show how such correspondence of immense government importance was still a place for describing all kinds of fears and worries, demonstrating honest views (sometimes scandalous even) as well as showing affection. Deep, cordial affection that two old “partners in crime” had for each other for a long period of time.
Before my acquaintance with those precious letters I’ve never imagined how warm their relationships truly were. I understood they were friends. Probably. To some extent, it was at the family level: Schwarzenberg knew Eleonora von Kaunitz, Metternich’s first wife, very well, perhaps, not only because of Maria Louisa’s wedding arrangements in 1809 - 1810 but for his whole life as they were children of the Vienna’s upper class society who had been growing up in the same environment, until Schwarzenberg started his military career in 1786. During the ambassadorial days of 1809 - 1812 Karl was also able to meet Metternich’s children (due to her poor health Eleonora preferred staying in Paris most of the time even after Metternich became a chancellor), found them very cute and amiable. Schwarzenberg’s wife, Maria Anna von Hohenfeld (“Nani” as he called her tenderly), who visited him often with their three sons was familiar with Eleonora as well (I actually stumbled upon one assertion which claimed that the latter experienced some kind of “jealousy” towards the former, since Schwarzenberg was madly in love with Nani, had never cheated on her with another woman and all-in-all was a perfect example of loving husband and father; but that point of view hurts my feelings too much (even though it seems pretty accurate) and I’m sitting over here in denial, sorry! 😅).
So, yeah, I guess, it’s pretty much impossible to remain completely nonchalant towards each other after years of diplomatic (and military afterwards) partnership. But for a long time I had no significant evidence of their direct communication, every assumption in this matter was practically a complete shot in the dark. Now I have some pieces of their correspondence and oh boy, what a rollercoaster of emotions… 💥
Their characters, readable between the lines, are pretty much illustrative. Schwarzenberg who understands very well all the nuances of politics remains open-minded, easygoing and playful. Sometimes even his good-hearted nature becomes unbelievably harsh, when, for example, allied monarchs tried interfering with his direct orders to the army where common soldiers always hang on a brink of hunger. When it comes to Metternich, he is all there with his inflated ego, evil irony, familiar complaints about himself but at the same time it’s necessary to pay tribute to him - he actually tries his best to console Schwarzenberg in all the misfortunes which the post of an allied commander brought to him.
What can I say, the stakes were higher than ever! Metternich understood the importance of his friend’s well-being, since they had to play the game against Napoleon till the very end. Once they positioned themselves as his allies. They eventually became his doom. The political significance of their cooperation is truly somewhere over the top of a roof taking into consideration such a miserable state (financial, especially) in which Austria was during the Napoleonic wars and after them.
Okay, so here it is once again, my love anthem towards these two mischievous Austrians - a military man and a statesman! That’s probably more than enough for one time but I want to show a small illustration as well... 🤲 🇦🇹
Tumblr media
The one who led the armies of hundred thousands and the one who pulled thin diplomatic strings on the stage of Europe itself.
How much I love this type of duos, I can’t express it enough! 😩
Next time I’ll try and bring bits of translations I promised. Until then - few lines in French which are mesmerising.
Vous voyez, mon cher ami, que j’éprouve le besoin de vous épancher mon cœur.
Bonsoir, cher ami, que le ciel vous éclaire et nous protège!

this is completely friendly, i was merely wondering what your reasoning behind shipping malec is? i'm curious to know why its an engaging ship, and i wonder if perhaps i got something wrong
(i'm only asking because i do not ship it, nor any cassandra clare ship, as theyre all vaguely toxic and this one is pedophilic in my opinion)
Hey, so first of all: I'm so sorry that it took me way longer than intended to answer your ask but beyond University being very stressful, my mental health kicked me a bit in the teeth and I simply didn't have the energy.
Now, before I answer your question I wanna preface it by saying: 1. Thank you for asking politely and thank you for asking off anon, because questions like that tend to have a certain air of bad faith when asked on anon, I'm sure you understand 😅
Now, to your question: Honestly, I tend to differ between book!malec, and show! malec.
When we're talking book!malec, I'm actually with you on a lot of the criticism. The age gap is sketchy (with Alec being barely off age) and both of them were quite toxic on various occasions (and most of the issues were because they were written by a straight person lbr, like Magnus being mad about Alec not coming out to his homophobic family).
Also, you can barely see any of their relationship develop in the OG books, which makes it so much harder to understand certain things or why they're happening in the first place.
Now, Show!Malec on the other hand? Those two own my entire heart. They're both adults, they treat each other with respect and act as equals and you can just tell how much they love each other.
They cut out a lot of the toxic/sketchy parts of book!malec. Like they made a point, that Alec loves Magnus with and without his powers, he even sacrificed his own happiness to ensure Magnus' by getting him his powers back, they completely axed Alec's over-the-top jealousy. And Magnus didn't make Alec coming out about himself or his own Ego but instead reassured him and helped him be more confident within himself. They actually communicate about their issues, they listen to each other and they plan their lives together, with respect for each other and they have so much trust in each other and they always offer emotional support when needed. They center each other, even when they're not at the same place. They never put their own ego before the other and apologize like adults and talk about issues. They always make sure to let the other know, that they're appreciated and how much they're loved. They also helped each other grow so much, from Magnus asking Dot "Are you really going to risk your life for a Shadowhunter?" in clear disdain and Alec "Emotions are nothing but a distraction" to both of them becoming their very best selves because of their relationship with each other. And ultimately, no matter what the world throws at them, they always find their way back to each other, even if they have to literally go through hell for each other. They always make a point that they are each other's top priority and that they wouldn't cope well with losing each other, which also makes them fight like hell to keep the other in their lives.
Long story short, they're a much healthier relationship than book!malec (and also, I'm always a slut for forbidden love/lovers from different sides of a conflict like them ngl. Like... both of them have learned, one way or the other, that the other is the enemy and can't be trusted. And yet, despite all of that, they still fell in love and both of them became better men and better leaders to their people for it. That's peak romance 🥰😁)
But ultimately, shipping is always a personal perference and there is no way to "get something wrong" if you don't ship something popular, for example c/lace was never my coup of tea, sometimes that's just how it is, don't worry about it :)
I hope this answers your question :)

Okay so for your writing prompts thing: how about Jackieboy man's struggle with seeing the other egos suffer and not having apprehended anti yet. Feel free to ignore if this prompt is hard/bad 😅
Jackie… hates this. Every last bit of it. 
Jack’s slit throat. Chase’s broken life. Henrik’s corrupted disappearance. Marvin’s rising self-doubt. JJ’s stolen voice. All caused entirely or partially by the one he hated most. 
Is there a way to stop him? It doesn’t matter. He needs to find a way no matter what. 
Every day he stays, it gets worse. Jack stays comatose. Chase finds the whiskey again. Henrik starts losing it. Marvin doesn’t want to face anyone. JJ feels useless. And Jackie can’t do a damn thing about it. 
He hates all of it. He even hates himself for it. He just can’t stand to be there anymore– perhaps that’s the thing he hates most of all, that Anti’s victories are so unignorable that it drove the hero away from the people he most needs to protect. He still hasn’t returned.
But he can’t come back. He doesn’t want to, not until he’s ready to face Anti. He can’t bear to let everyone down. Not again. Not like he had so many times before… 
What Jackie doesn’t know is that those exact thoughts are Anti, too. The fight has already started, and without even knowing it, the hero is losing.
