#mal has a life

no, but pinecones is really beautiful isn't it ?

#perfect kind of flowers for fae kind who probably feels that flowers die in 0.1 sec bcs of their long life #imagine making mal a pine cone flower wreath and he is so happy with it; that if yuu ever think of selling it king mal mal would order it #for every house in the valley; so everyone has one in their house as new kind of briar valley culture & tradition fhsdh #twst #twisted wonderland #sebek zigvolt #twst yuu #twst mc #twst grim #fanart #i wonder if sebek can see the pinecones as beautiful too #well sebek is weak at subjective thing like art; he might only be able to see things as it is #but he might take on some things from poet or romantic genre books; so i wonder what he sees #i know a fellow who absolutely can't see what i see; i feel like his brain is like a white digital sci fi cube that is clean #and looking so minimalistic it looks like it can only process logical things like numbers #it's so weird that some people don't actually process things by imagining a lot of other things visually in their mind

WIP Wednesday — Steddie + CC Roadtrip

They’re in the middle of nowhere Montana—on hour five of their drive that day—when Steve hits the blinker and pulls them off the interstate. Gareth, riding shotgun for once because Eddie’s snoring in the back of the van, doesn’t even question him. They’re all pretty tired, having spent the last few weeks sleeping in the back of their cars through Chicago and Milwaukee—one night they had actually pitched a tent in a national park, but Steve was the only one who knew anything about camping and Jeff had infected everyone else with his fear of bears, so no one got any sleep that night and Steve pawned the tent as soon as he could after that. He was real bitchy about it too, but Gareth really couldn’t blame him. He was pretty sure Steve wasn’t going to make s’mores for them ever again, and that was a tragedy in itself.

It was when Steve pulled up outside of a Western Union that the stomach dropped out of the bottom of Gareth’s stomach. Before he could say anything though, Steve was already getting out of the van and heading for the payphone outside.

In the parking spot beside them, Jeff pulls up in the station wagon. He and Freak are looking at Gareth with wide eyes.

“Eddie,” Gareth hisses, and bodily crawls between the front seats, smacking at any part of Eddie he can reach. “Eddie, fuck, S.O.S. man, your guy’s gonna call his dad.”

The part of Eddie that Gareth can reach happens to be his crotch unfortunately, and Eddie wakes up kicking. “What the FUCK, Gareth?”

“It’s Steve!”

“Steve would NOT wake me up with a nut shot like that, shitass!”

“No sicko, I mean Steve is calling his dad for money right now!”

“Oh fuck.”

Eddie tumbles out of the back of the van and sprints across the parking lot, limping.

Ok I know we’re focusing on Mal rn, and I’m happy about that. But this right here would’ve been a great moment to give MC a chance to speak on how holding the team together affects her since he just commented on how hard it is. Like now you have a bit of an idea of how she feels, but you still don’t know the half of it because she had to come back, pick up the pieces, and rally everyone together again AFTER being kidnapped and held captive.

And I get that MC being gone was hard for Mal, especially since he’s my LI. But he still ultimately got to move on and pursue something he’s always wanted to do. Meanwhile MC went from saving her brother to saving the world to saving herself to being thrust right back into saving the world and her friends again!

#choices bolas #choices blades #blades of light and shadow #mal volari #playchoices #like yeah y’all support her in battle and by doing these quests with her #but where’s her emotional support #she picks everybody else up and holds the team together but who does that for her #I NEED this to be addressed #and maybe I’m being a selfish bitch by bringing all of this up when Mal has clearly been having his own issues #but I’m still salty and a little mad at him if I’m gonna be honest #he’s worried about everyone else but the damn love of his life 😤 #and I know that’s because he couldn’t stop what happened or save us #but once again maybe act a little more concerned about the actual person you couldn’t save then? #is it just me who feels this way?? #choices #choices stories you play #choices app #pixelberry studios #pixelberry

Watching The Ultimatum Queer Love and everyone has their faults and everything and of course there are some I like more than others.

But maannn Sam is so patient and sincere in her actions like I feel like I could learn things from her to become a better person

#the ultimatum queer love #I also like Mal and AND Lexi #idk people who are straight forward but caring #but everyone has their own quirks and stuff #but Sam seems like she’d be someone who would better your life

[lakeglitter]

okay now that i'm watching ep4 the second time and got to process the initial shock, i can stop and think about how fucked up it is that cousineau kills his son on accident. when they've just recently established contact and cousineau was trying to do better by him. even though i get that it makes narrative sense. because of course cousineau, who so often acts before he thinks and, especially after s3, has reason to believe he's the main character in barry's life and is a paranoid coward, shoots first and never asks questions

#like leo has done nothing wrong but because his life has been even tangentially touched by barry it gets destroyed #bill hader you need to pay for my therapy man i cannot do this for 4 more episodes #mal speaks #barry hbo #barry hbo spoilers #barry talk #gene cousineau #leo cousineau

you know what. i do not feel bad that family/friends delay telling me their dog acquiring news because they fear i'll be judgmental. 1.) like hmmm. why do we have something bad to judge i wonder?? 2.) i have never been incorrect in my judgements of people's backyard breeder buying habits being bad ideas for those individuals. and it's so clear that the family/friends of mine that delay their dog news know they are getting dogs from less than reputable sources just based on their behavior. like c'mon people. let's set you up for success instead.

#dogblr #relatives that got the lab puppy less than six months ago only had that puppy for like less than a week before they gave it back bc it was #'too much' #but are now getting a BYB boxer puppy instead. #can't even express how bad of an idea i feel that is #like i could have helped you find a nice show line lab but noooo #like why is questioning why the local byb malamute person around me has like 12-14 litters (combined sibe and mal) each year is me being #'too harsh' #people in my life need to have better standards honestly like #you feel like you'll be judged bc you will be #literally begging people to get a dog that is right for their lifestyle please #like fam do we feel a byb boxer puppy #with no health testing or temperament testing to its recent pedigree #is a good fit for a home with kids 2 and 6 and 8. #bc i kinda feel like this will be a bad idea #'it's their choice tho!' some people will say #yeah it's also my choice to judge them lol

What infuriates you the most with Descendants? From the plot to the characters.

I will say I do try and give it some leeway because at the end of the day, I am an adult who is obsessed with a series for children, and I recognize when you're writing a movie where the target demographic is like 5 - 13, you don't necessarily get as in depth into certain topics. Like, I wish that the allusions to abuse were handled more consistently and respectfully, but I also understand they were never going to get into it so I can respect the attempt that was made in D1.

However what really bugs me is Mal's character arcs, because she's the lead and is ultimately the character who most little girls watching the movie are meant to identify with and want to be like, but she really doesn't come across as a good friend or learn from others so much as independently decide that she has changed her mind. It's the worst for me in D2, because Uma is framed as the antagonist despite the fact that she's doing everything Mal did in D1. Obviously Uma was super popular with little girls (and everybody because she rules) so they pull back on it in D3, but I really don't think Mal's D2 arc is good at all.

I think a lot of Mal's character growth doesn't work simply because it all hinges on romance and I don't think Dove Cameron has any chemistry with Mitchell Hope (and I also truly believe Mal is a repressed lesbian LOL). In D1, everyone else decides to rebel against their parents because they discover something about themselves and realize they can be who they want to be on Auradon in a way they can't on the isle (Evie and Jay are the best examples, Evie is my favorite because she is able to discover something about herself and THEN enter into a romance, which is a lot better than finding yourself through romance, but still allows romance to be a part of the arc). On the other hand, Mal pivots because of a relationship that she doesn't seem that into, and then in D2 it falls apart because....she's not that into it lol. Like, she has nothing on Auradon (besides Ben) that she doesn't have on the isle, because she doesn't gain any hobbies or make any friends or even learn anything about herself that doesn't tie back to the romance. She has magic on Auradon, except the story frames magic as a bad thing and makes her give it up at the end of D2. And because the WHOLE TRILOGY hinges on Mal's growth as a character it makes a lot of the plot and conflict really contrived and frustrating to me.

I also wish they had a gay character but whatever Disney hates me

#i don't remember any of my tags it's been ages #ultimately a lot of the stuff that makes mal interesting in fandom makes canon sort of excruciating #because like. in the text of the world mal is not a lesbian #descendants was not written as a 'here is a story about a repressed lesbian and the ways in which that affects her life negatively' #it comes across like that! that's how i choose to read the movies! #but watching the movies as intended it's genuinely like what are they thinking #i will ALSO SAY. a lot of this comes down to confusing canon stuff too #based on the book canon (which at one point was meant to be tied to the movie but is now very clearly diverged) #the friendship of the core four is meant to be new at the start of d1 #so you can argue that over the course of the movie mal gains a friendgroup and that's why she turns good #and i believe that was meant to be the intention #HOWEVER. this is completely impossible to tell from the film #because the dynamic at the start of the film indicates theyve been friends for years #and i firmly believe for all movies. anything important about the plot of your film...should be in the film lol #if i have to turn to external sources to understand basic character beats you're doing it wrong #i definitely don't believe book canon has any bearing on movie canon at this point anyway #it's optional flavor text #*ask
