Brothers. 🙄💛✨

Since my last post, I have been thinking about the dynamic that Dadi should have with Data and Geordi’s families! And I have decided that a character who is a combination of Data and Geordi would be quite responsible by nature, so he would definitely accept everyone in their families as his own!

That brings us to the art. I interpret Data as being quite patient with Lore, while staying suspicious and keeping his wits about him, because he values having a brother at all. I think adding Geordi’s feelings to the mix would add tension to their relationship, and result in Dadi having much less patience for Lore than Data does. He would take more of a self-preservation approach to the relationship than Data would, and would therefore be even more estranged from Lore. Ultimately, he views Lore as his very, very flawed brother who needs to get his shit together before they can spend more than a few minutes in the same room together! Similar things can be said about his relationship with Dr. Soong.

one thing i don't like about how hori wrote afo's backstory is that the narration makes it seem like afo was just born evil by saying that he was just born greedy and selfish. a major theme of the series is how otherwise good or even just neutral people become evil because of societal failures, but it's like all of that goes out the window when it comes to afo.

i'm in no way excusing afo, but he was a "meta" born in a time where people hunted his kind for sport. if you're a toddler with a deadly power that both makes you physically different from others and is so powerful that it scares people (spearlike bones) of course you're going to be ostracized. and with that ostracization comes the people who want to kill you. so what do you do? what is the only thing you can do? it becomes kill or be killed. then you become desensitized to killing, you may not even fully understand the weight of a life — you're only, like, 4 years old. you learn that problems can be solved with violence. need something for you and your brother? kill to get it. you realize that what you want can just be taken, not to mention your power incentivizes you to take what you want anyways.

many people point out that yoichi grew up just as poor and abandoned as afo, but there's an important distinction to make. yoichi was thought to be quirkless. he would not have been hunted like afo was. he would not have had the pressure of keeping a weaker, sicker sibling alive. although yoichi's life was no walk in the park, he and yoichi would've had an entirely different worldview. afo craves power because power is what has allowed him to survive his childhood. yoichi's lack of power and victimization because of his weakness leads him to understand the importance of wielding power responsibly. so with that in mind, it must've been hard for him to understand yoichi's talks about justice when they likely only survived because of afo's ruthlessness.

i realize this post makes me sound like afo's #1 dick rider which i kind of am, but i'm not delusional. the man is evil, he chose to stay that way, and he was well past any form of redemption, but i just hate the idea of an inherently evil newborn baby so fucking much. i think that he's like tomura in the sense that with the right guidance, he could have been a somewhat normal person. (that's a whole other post in itself, how he literally gave tomura his own trauma because he knew from experience how it would break him) yes of course it's possible for him to have grown up without becoming evil, but honestly i think anyone, if handed those specific set of circumstances, would more than likely go down a very very bad path.

#all of that said #he still makes my skin crawl sometimes w just how evil he is #i only compared him to tomura cause hes the best example of a kid led astray #hes a shitty dad who purposely inflicted generational trauma on his adoptive son so he could manipulate him #but like....part of me likes to believe that if he and yoichi had a parental figure who loved them #and if they lived in a society that accepted them both #that they wouldve been alright #bnha #all for one #afo #bnha afo #mha #mha afo

So I have this au idea and I don't what do you think k buuuttt imagine that everything goes wrong and Silver dies trying saving malleus for the blot like getting consumed by it instead of malleus, the ultimate sacrifice, and mallleus realizes it and in it grive uses one last spell, a time spell.

So he gets back in time but not like the beginning of the year o noo he come in the moment Lilia found Silver and he decided that now he is the one that is going to keep Silver, and takes him to the palace and basically raises him as his future consort and wife. So he is going to be with him forever the only one that it's not going to leave.

..... what do you think jajaja I would lo e to make a fic out of this but sadly my writting skill are 0 to none 🥲

OOHH I’m intrigued. Upon first reading this my first thoughts were, oh oh oh dadson mallesil!!! (Im nasty)

All of Malleus’ moves would be calculated in this scenario since he more or less knows what they lead to. And he has the chance to groom Silver his own way now. So both Silver and Lilia turn out different here. Lilia will think of Silver exclusively as an object, he might even despise him, and Silver won’t inherit the values Lilia taught him in the other timeline. But Silver’s attitude and personality are something unique to him and they shine in every timeline no matter what. It’s part of his very essence, no grooming will change that, and Malleus wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s his kindness, his selflessness, his effortless beauty.

Malleus doesn’t teach him the sword, instead opting for music, dance, literature, but not too much, and sewing. He tells Silver never to approach a weapon… but the boy is predestined to wield one, so when he sees Malleus’ weapons (his favourite is the spear, but he is also skilled with the sword and the bow—he has daggers and halberds, all hidden behind a magic case, because he doesn’t need them much, his bare hands do a great job of crushing human skulls), he is fascinated. He wants to learn how to wield the sword. Malleus hesitates. He refuses. Silver takes it with a disappointed look. If Malleus plays his cards right, Lilia won’t be seduced by Silver, and he won’t teach him the sword… which, well. Malleus is furious and teaches Silver a lesson. But… he softens after and finally allows him to wield the sword, but ONLY if Malleus is the teacher. He is the father, after all. (Sorry.)

Silver is docile and in his mind, all of this is very normal. He has no contact with the outside world. He is the only human he knows besides a doctor who is sometimes brought in from another land to check on him. (The doctor is very worried for him but he can’t do anything. Silver wonders why he always looks so… wistful.)

The rose garden is theirs. It’s their sanctuary away from all gazes. It’s so romantic… when Silver is old enough, like 13-14, this is where they first kiss :,} they get married when Silver is 15.

In this AU I feel like Malleus wouldn’t go to NRC. He already has Silver, all is well. But also… if Silver meets other humans, he might gain some awareness and become unhappy with his predicament. If this ever happens, Malleus will put everybody to sleep again 🚶🏻‍♀️

Sebek gets brought in when he’s around 14 to train for the army. He’s tasked to act as Silver’s retainer, which he HATES. He wants to be Mal’s retainer. He’ll be very uninterested in Silver, mean as well… you may be the prince’s consort, but you remain a human!!! I hope youre grateful to Malleus!!! Silver doesn’t care, which makes him mad lol.

Those are the #thoughts I can come up with… this is a rly good au we love a mastermind malleus

#i would really really really love for malleus to impose himself as silvers father #then for silver to understand that a father is a lover #it’s FUCKED. and I want silver to call malleus father in bed🫡#this could lead to awkward interactions with sebek lol when sebek brings up his own father #sorry for dumping the dadson in the tags #ALL OF THAT SAID #don’t worry about your writing skills if you want to write go ahead and all ten of us mallesil readers will support #mallesil

Got an anon earlier (well, yesterday) that I cannot even begin to answer because on one hand, I get you, say it (generally speaking)! But on the other hand (specifically speaking)? That ask went into fucking crazy town in its unravel to the end, so I don't feel like touching it with a 28-foot pole because where to even START. I say this with peace and love because yeah, tl/dr, Liam wasn't a great guy with women, but u who else wasn't (then)/isn't (presently)? A tremendous chunk of 1D's fandom then and now, and if you're gonna start with the premise that anyone mourning him should do xyz instead of (or as well as) lighting a candle or whatever, yes, sure, makes sense, stick to that lane, it's both wide and deep, especially in its more performative corners! But I don't think threatening the surviving members of that band about how they need to tread lightly around "future memorials"--no matter how rich or white or whatever else they might be--makes a lick of goddamned sense

#i'll go deeper into what i THINK you're trying to say #but i can't quite parse it and every time i try it gives me a headache so i'm gonna pass #women deserve so much more--both in relation to the current fandom landscape and the previous one #and yeah u r right #i'm not into 'liam's law'#he was a 31-year-old man who had a lot of agency #he was also working in a shitty industry that exploited him and a lot of other people too #but part of that exploitation is down to fandom itself and feeding that beast #not too many people want to look into that dark mirror and their own role in it #that's not even scratching the surface of the way fans buy into and perpetuate misogyny on a grand scale to protect 'the boys'#all of THAT said #man i did not love the way your ask was phrased #and yet i feel you on so much of it #for my own tl/dr i wish nothing but the best for maya in this and all moments
