#I'm reeeeeaally sleepy and just wanted more Malika voice on her Tumblr

I've been asked why I can't just behave. Why can't I calm down? Why do I have to act so crazy?

Apart from being a hilarious question, it's a baffling one. Coming from self-important, power hungry, abusive, "nobility" and "guards" is one thing. But coming from the people they abuse? That's an entirely different thing.

Why can't you misbehave?

You should misbehave!

What has "calming down" done for you? It's made you easier to control.

It's only in their benefit to control you. Not yours. If only the wealthy and powerful "misbehave", they won't have to worry about you, with your filthy, "common" hands reaching out and taking your equal share.

They'll break you if you let them.

Don't let them!

You know you can break them right back, don't you?

Fuck with them. Every chance you get! Death by a thousand cuts. Annoy the absolute shit out of them. Maliciously comply with every ridiculous rule they make. And there will be ridiculous rules! The lawmakers don't live by their laws. And your employers don't do the work they "manage". They often have no idea how stupid and unreasonable their rules are. But you can show them!

Trick them. Inconvenience them. They are used to getting their way and they are used to getting it immediately. Apparently they've forgotten that patience is a virtue; remind them! Delay them. Delay them until they're close to imploding from indignation. But do be sure to smile politely the whole time. You don't want to be rude to these very important people, do you?

As for me?

I've got nothing to lose.

And that's probably the most powerful position to be in. I don't have money for them to steal. I don't have a home for them to kick me out of. I don't have a family for them to threaten. I don't have a job to lose.

And I have all the time those busy, impatient bees lack.

And I've learned some tricks from them!

I love to break things too!

Have you ever heard the sound of expensive glass breaking? If you haven't had the opportunity, I recommend it! No need to go buy your own. The "nobility" have plenty! They keep them as "heirlooms"; that's a fancy word for "expensive things we do not ever want poor people to have an opportunity to own." But, really, material goods are such a burden. They take up so much space that these sad people have to buy bigger and bigger houses to store them! Can you imagine?

So I break them! There's no sound in the world as beautiful as that sound… save maybe the sound of a wealthy abuser howling in rage and despair when they come home to see all their pretty glass sparking like glitter, broken, across their expensive floors.

I won't end this by saying that what I do is a selfless act meant only to help the poor and powerless.

First of all, we're not powerless!

Second, this is very selfish. This is for me. This is for fun! This is because I want to do it and because I like doing it. This is because I'll misbehave a thousand times before I cower before the power and privilege of some asshole with a house full of heirlooms even once!

So, misbehave!

Go crazy!

Break things!

They'll hate it.

And you'll love it.

Promise.
