#and my brain was like OH THAT BUT MALVIE

[sparrowmoth]

Concept: vaguely Tam Lin-flavoured Malvie love story where mortal Evie and faerie Mal meet as strangers in the forest and slowly fall in love, prompting ever less fanciful talks of how they could marry and run away together (not necessarily in that order).

The problem is that Mal’s mother is not just any fae, she’s queen of her court and she expects Mal to inherit her position someday. Worse, Maleficent thinks of mortals as beneath the fae. She would never approve of Mal being with Evie.

The solution, Mal decides, is to stand up to her mother and tell her that either Evie’s accepted as her consort or she’s leaving the court to grow old with her.

Mal tells Evie of her plan, but insists it’s something she has to do alone. Evie has a bad feeling about that, so she decides to follow Mal back in secret...

As expected, Maleficent is furious at the notion of her daughter with a mortal.

She’s more stunned than anything when said mortal steps out from the crowd and challenges her ruling, which would have forbidden Mal from stepping foot in the mortal realm again until such time that Evie would be long since dead.

Maleficent, though... she thinks she knows this story. She had a mortal lover once. She knows how weak the passion pumps through their hearts, no matter what their lips say, so she decides to teach her daughter instead of sparing her.

“Hold her,” says Maleficent. “Prove your love.”

It’s too easy a way to convince her. Mal knows that. Evie knows that. But still, Evie is stubborn and determined and, in Mal’s eyes, naive to what Maleficent is capable of, so... when Evie rushes to Mal’s side and wraps her tightly in a hug, Mal lets her because, in her own mind, this is the last embrace they’ll ever get.

“Hold her,” Maleficent says again, now smiling cruelly as she works her magic on her daughter’s form, shifting her from the soft, small girl with tear-brimmed eyes to a hissing serpent with dripping fangs—then a wild dog, barking and drooling—then a boar with blood-stained tusks—then a dragon with burning scales, growing more and more and more until Evie can scarcely grasp her...

“Hold her,” Maleficent commands with venom as she draws out Evie’s truest fear: her own mother. Grimhilde. The monster she was born to, but has never held like this, because—because—

“Let go of me! You’re embarrassing yourself! What kind of behaviour is this for a proper young lady? Men will think you’re desperate. No one will ever love you.”

All these words spill from Grimhilde’s mouth as if it were Mal who spoke them, or... it were truly Grimhilde herself, or—no, but it’s not, and Evie knows it’s not, so if it’s not, then it’s Mal, but it’s not her face, so... are those still her words?

Evie closes her eyes and holds tighter, refusing to let go even as her mother continues to berate her. It’s a strange thing, because if it were really her mother, she’d be shoved off, but she isn’t. Her “mother” holds her like she never has before. It doesn’t feel good, like Evie thought it might. It feels wrong.

But isn’t all of this?

And then, finally, with a screech of fury and impatience, Maleficent recalls her magic and, when Evie dares to open her eyes, it’s Mal she’s holding, trembling and weak and vulnerable, drained by her efforts to resist her mother’s magic.

Mal, though she can barely stand, takes Evie’s hand in hers and whispers simply, “Don’t let go.” Then, with a last long look at her mother, she turns away and pulls Evie with her, out of the court and into the woods, to the borderline.

This time, when Mal steps through into the other world, she sheds her wings and nearly collapses from the rush of magic leaving her body. Evie catches her before she can fall to her knees and, as she holds her up, the both of them shaking from adrenaline, she whispers to Mal, “I won’t let go. I promise.”

💖🏅🧠✨🍰!!!

💖 What do you like most about your own writing?

Haha, how dare you make me say something positive about my own writing Sparrow! You know I just like to wallow in my own self-deprecation 😂

But if you're going to make me...I guess I appreciate my commitment to my characterizations. I really don't like to include a character in my story and not any depth to their personality or backstory. I find it to be both a skill and a curse though, because my longer fics definitely take MUCH LONGER to write because I can't stop myself lol.

🏅 What is something you recently felt proud of in regard to your writing (finished a fic, actually planned for once, etc).

I recently updated The Wedding Date after much too long of a break between chapters...and I'm already working on the next chapter! I'm definitely not putting 6 months between updates this time.

And I managed to start The Heart Will Follow (2 chapters in) and The Love Game, along with a few drabbles. That was a nice little burst of writing inspo for me 😁 I just need that back now...

🧠 What’s an idea you have that you can’t quite call a WIP yet?

Oh! I want my next multi-chapter fic to be a Dark!Jay from the Isle story. I've been thinking about this for a while...I had a commenter on Merry Christmas to Us make the suggestion and I LOVED it. It will be mostly a dark!Jaylos story, but with some dark!Malvie in it too, and will focus on Jay's obsession and desire to take over Auradon (with Mal and Evie) and possess Carlos in the process. I'm excited to get started as soon as The Wedding Date is done 😊

✨ Choose three adjectives to complement your own writing.

Detailed - I can't leave any little detail out, my brain doesn't let me lol. I think of every scenario so I don't leave any little plot holes, or I'll freak out when I find them.

(Mostly) Fluffly - I love me some good ol' Descendants fluff! Mostly Jaylos and Malvie, but Marlos and Carvie and Jal and Jayvie (and of course OT4!) are all fun to write fluff for too. My babies all deserve some sweet lovingly fluffy pieces dedicated to their adorable dynamics.

(Sometimes) Dark - As much as I love my fluff, I also love to delve into the Dark side of Descendants. It started with Harlos for me, because @bunny-lou has convinced me of the dark and noncon elements of their relationship, and I can't think of them in any other way now. And I also love digging into the darker sides of the Core Four, especially Jay and Mal (like in Merry Christmas to Us). But I also LOVE Dark!Evie, especially in No Song Without You! I'm excited to write more dark fics and drabbles in the near future.

🍰 Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).

Right now I can think of three: I Think I Always Knew by @hersilentlanguage (how can you NOT love an adorable Drunk!Carlos?? 😍), No Promises that I commissioned the lovely @unapologeticallyjaylos to write for me, and Sanctuary (In Your Arms) by @callous-and-misunderstood, which I've read too many times to count at this point. They all feed my love for Jaylos and are just sweetest, cutest content my heart could ever ask for 🥰

Fanfic ask game

[fuck-you-i-am-spiderman]

Rate Rotten OT4 from 1-10 and explain why! What are your favorite headcanons of Jayvie and Marlos? Favorite AU ideas for Jaylos and Malvie? What song(s) remind you of Rotten OT4? ♥

This got super long. I’m not even sorry, y’all know I love them okay!! @hersilentlanguage

Rate rotten ot4 from 1-10 and explain why

1000000/10 listen, they are my babies and I love them. The power they have is indescribable but I'm going to try so I hope you were expecting an essay. They work so well together and know one another. They feed off of one another's energy and when they come together for those moments it's always so strong and really the definition of found family. All of the soft moments are so pure and good. 

Like Mal and Jay? Soft babies that look tough but are gooey as heck. So protective of one another!!

Mal and Evie? Queens, with an lgbt anthem WE STAN. Married couple energy, so good at lifting one another up.

Jay and Evie? So in sync, Evie always laughs at Jay's jokes that's like prime wife material just saying. 

Mal and Carlos, omg the softness, the mischief, the shoulder thing THE SHOULDER THINGGGGGGG. The way Carlos looks to Mal when he’s scared, I cannot.

Jay and Carlos? Do I even need to say it?!!!!! Beautiful, glorious idiots. Heart and Brain, I love them your honour.

Evie and Carlos? Precious nerd children with so much compassion, these little geniuses who people underestimate but are complete badasses in their own right. 

All of them are strong individually but together, those dynamics all form and the four are just so good, they've been through so much and are so ride or die for one another. They balance one another out and as cheesy as it is "four hearts as one" I think they are 4 sides of a square. Also, they're all fucking fine as hell and I'm very weak for all of them. It shouldn't be fair that they all look that good.

Favourite headcanon for Jayvie:

Omg, just one? 🤪 I was going to say hairstyling because I see we're all in that mood but I'm going to divert slightly. It's still in the hair area, but something I thought about was how they both have such long and luscious hair and that it's clearly very well taken care of. I have a hc that Evie makes them all custom shampoos with specific scents and Jay’s is so chocolatey and rich. When one of them has had a hard day they’ll take a shower and will spend a lot of time carefully washing one another’s hair, because it feels so damn good and the two of them really appreciate how much work goes into maintaining their luxurious manes. They really love hair massages and brushing one another’s hair, it’s so simple but it’s an activity they like doing, it’s a routine they get into. After a tourney game Evie will run Jay a bath and wash and then style his hair, and yes they love braiding but they also just like the feeling of their hair in one another’s hands, taking care of it and going shopping for hair products, researching what works best for their hair and trying out new styles with one another. Like some days Jay will rock a side braid and then he’ll be massaging Evie’s head and gently scraping her hair into a ponytail as she works.

Favourite headcanon for Marlos: 

Prankster duo!!!!!! I know I usually go for a softer headcanon but I just fucking love the idea of Mal and Carlos teaming up to cause a little mischief. I blame all of their interactions in WTBW for fueling this energy. Mal loves pranking so much and Carlos is such a planner, he makes powerpoints and blueprints for his ideas. Put Mal’s determination and sheer power with Carlos’s analytical and sneakiness, just wow. Mal is an enabler, she for sure encourages Carlos to make inventions that they can use to prank someone. Both of them are so small and I think it works to their advantage, they would hide and plot and scheme and no one would bat an eyelid, especially because Mal would glare until they stopped. I see both of them as being very active minds, they work well as a team because both have such a flair for chaos and you expect that to stop when they get to Auradon? No fucking way. Mal and Carlos scheming because they don’t like how much D*** lurks and suddenly his locker is booby trapped and no one knows how Marlos did it. Mal is very impulsive so she just decides she wants to do something and Carlos is like “your grumpiness I have been planning this for weeks, here’s my essay on why flour bombing people is fricking hilarious” and Mal is two seconds away from jumping Carlos right there and then.

Favourite au ideas for Jaylos and Malvie: 

oh damn so many. 

Lemonade mouth/band au. 

Always a sucker for hogwarts au's, like give me rival quidditch players Jaylos (because Carlos is super quick and could be a seeker for sure and Jay is 1000% a beater), give me Mal and Evie being paired up in potions and Mal getting super distracted by how animated Evie gets. Give me Evie and Jay wanting to talk to the cute hufflepuff and the snarky slytherin and trying to hatch a plan on how best to go about this. I love hogwarts fics and will eventually write one!! 

I want to write a coffee shop one where Carlos has been trying to flirt with an oblivious Jay by using coffee puns whenever he orders and Jay is just transfixed by this curly-haired god and Mal is getting really annoyed because Carlos is trying so hard and she's wondering if she was this oblivious with Evie (Carlos likes to remind her that she was waaaaay worse so he's allowed to have a crush in a beautiful dumbass), it would be cute and silly and accurate to my life because I like to write nice messages on coffee cups.

Ngl I have a few smutty ideas 👀 but idk whether I should be horny on main

and you know we both had the idea of hairdresser Jay and the other three being weak af for him as an excellent rotten ot4 au.

What song(s) remind you of the rotten ot4?

I should create a playlist 🤔 I always find new songs that I feel fits them or reminds me of them. A few that come to my mind are:

Unstoppable - The Score

Learn to let go - Kesha

Start a riot - Banners

Find my way back - Four year strong

Famous last words - My chemical romance

Horns like a devil - Bryce Fox (I don't even know why, I just think of this when they're being badass and ruthless and just yes!!! This vibe 👌)

[hitchell-mope]

And here’s the cryptid. He shoulda died in it’s going down

Psycho bitch pirate whore

Cella’s a troll and I love it

The vehicle needs an oil change

At least he’s sleeping. Though that position can not be comfortable

At long last the reveal.

We know! We know

And here’s the music

😂😂😂😂.

He’s got a point

Ok.

THERES NO PHONES ON THE ISLAND QUEEN MAL

She actually sounds like jade west here

So far. Besides the proposal. This is my favourite song. Mostly for Hades great looks. Great voice

And the tambourine

Would be better with purple and blue fire effects. But no. We can’t have nice things. They spent the budget on pirate whores make up

She’s got a point. They both do

LISTEN TO HIM

Proud papa

C’mon girl. Cry

Of course she told her sister

He’s a good king.

T-shirt should be ripped.

🤮🤮🤮🤮. Hate her so much

And. Here. We. Go.

Benny. I love you. But did you not hear what she said to Evie when you first met the vks. Of course not. You were lost in Mal’s eyes.

Oh god. PLEASE SOMEBODY GO AND MELT HER

Whore man is probably skunk drunk. Gil’s cute as ever though

Throw hook in the water. And keep it there.

🎶she’s back🎶

And there screwed

He makes feel physically sick

Uma. I love ya. But honestly. Mal owes no one anything. It’s not her job.

No it ain’t

Jay’s got a point

Oh honey

Hook. In the words of the irreverent Captain Jack Sparrow “if the bikes be crashed properly. You be crashed along with it”. Not you Gil. I like you

Mother hen strikes again. Uma ain’t buying what she’s selling

Pure child Celia. (I don’t use this very much but) Gil’s babey (it feels wrong to type£

Chicken arms. No brains. No wit. No dance skills. No rapping skills. Ya basically a walking corpse hook

The dogs giving me a nervous twitch.

I hate the pair of them so no. No sympathy for prince douche bag

Gil makes me cry so simply

Stab the pirate jay. Please. For all of us

Psycho bitch

I want. It. Dead. Brutally. Dead

And more music. If this weren’t Disney they coulda melted them yo pukes of goo and pour it down Harry’s throat.

Oh god

So she can’t count either. Just like her brother

Definitely cha cha slide.

Deep sigh

So much ham.

Here’s a funny idea. How about instead of a bloody pantomime. ACTUALLY FUCKING FIGHT YOU FECKERS

Synchronised armour dancing. That’s new

Oh for fuck sake

Ha ha. Save it for the sob story bitch

What’s next a kick line

Thank god I was wrong.

Hook should be suffocated under the armour right now. Put us out of our misery

Care bear alert

I had to have a flu jab today. And it weren’t as painful as every single nanosecond hooks on screen

Love the platonic affection (I hate the very concept of malvie. What did you expect?)

Mother alert

Don’t eat wild fruit honey

So cute. But so dumb

Oh. Phineas and Ferb reference

Awww babies.

Don’t you dare tell me Mal doesn’t care.

THEY FOUND DOUG

Uma’s so done with care bear bs

More singing. Yay(!)

Please. Remind me again exactly why this is a DCOM. Cause it honestly does not feel like it what with the backstory pirate whores entire existence and the choreography

How has evie not broken a leg in this number.

Believe me Mal and Uma. I feel your frustration they go together like peanut butter and chocolate spread. (Perfectly if you didn’t know)

Where is she going?

She knows how R&J ended right? Double suicide. Why the romanticism huh?

HE IS NOT A RAG DOLL! Though props to Zachary for not corpsing

How can you hate Doug. He’s adorable. Best straight couple ever

There’s ma boy. Rip Harry’s throyatvout plwae.

Ben’s always been hot. But this is definitely working for me.

Awww. Carlos helping his papa

Wet Ben. Yum

Awww. Janelos cuteness.

Love the beard. So good. 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Someone murder the man whore before I do.

He makes me wanna throw up. And I’m not physically capable of doing that

@rpsocsandcanonohmy. I get where you’re coming from. But I also get where Ben is coming from. Sunbeam did get him abducted. And man slut tried to feed him to sharks. So I do understand both points. Doesn’t mean you’re wrong though

JUST. EXPLAIN. HIS MIND IS BEAST ADDLED

Shoulda let Ben slash hooks throat jay. You’re slipping buddy

Mal’s eating crow

Hopefully he chad suffocates. Then she’s have done one thing that wasn’t completely worthlessly reprehensible

🎶feelings🎶

And it had to ruin it

Te-am work. As plankton says

Proud sister

Boys are back. (With dude and the mutt in tow)

YAAAAAAAAAY

I hate happy harry. But I do like happy Uma. Eh. Double edged sword

BAL THIRST. FINALLY

Shoulda gone with Janelos. Jarlos is from big time rush

Oh they’re so cute

Poor Doug.

DOUG AND GIL FRIENDSHIP.

So. Update. Might be like Mal. (Definitely loving Ben’s facial hair)

Yawning over chad. So pathetic

Her seat from him douchey mcuseless

Poor Janey

Cats outta the bag

Once again. I kinda understand all points. Yeah Mal shouldn’t have lied. But Uma didn’t really give her and choice. And Evie just kinda assumed. And no one really lets her explain anything.

Hooks still pathetic. Even hurt emotionally I still wanna punch his roger rabbit looking face (Sorry Roger)

Oh dear

Mal. Don’t apologise. You did what you felt you needed to do. And no gives you a chance to explain. Ever.

Yes. You needed to do what you could.

Excellent acting all around as usual

Evie. Look. I love you. Your favourite number seven. But WHY IS IT YOUR SISTERS JOB. WHY DOES EVERYONE MAKE IT MALS PROBLEM

Ha! Evie said it. She said family.

Oh fuck. Taken for granite

More singing.

Monster/story/invincible

I do want to stab Harry in the mouth with the hook

More flashback. Yay(.). Couldn’t they fill out the runtime

Flashbacks. TO THE START OF THE SO G THE FLASHBACK IS FROM. OH FOR FUCK SAKES

More dragon.

Audrey’s performance might make me a vegetarian

How is it not crushed by the claws?

Fire should be green

Yay. Auds dead. Please say yes?

The twins say literally one thing

From magical incantation to vaguely irritating verbal tick. Well alright then

Evie. Why do you sound so sad. It’s a good thing Audrey’s dying. The ultimate price and all that. You should be glad. It’s a good thing

Mal: he’s my father. Ben: shocked face. Me: makes a sound like a boiling kettle

Bye bye facial hair

Die slut

More eating crow

The in laws meet

Exactly hades. Exactly. Knee beast in the dick

God Ben’s so hot.

Bite Adam’s throat out please hades

Should’ve let Audrey waste away. And sent granny to Tartarus to meet her

OH SPARE ME YOUR BLEEDING HEART ROUTINE! I still hate you in a fundamental level

OH FINALLY YOU GERIATRIC BITCH

Nice little family moment

What the fuck is Evie’s dress?

Queen Mal has a very nice ring to it.

Sure you can. You owe them noting. You owe nobody anything

Jay has a pull back braid in his hair. Yay!

“Audrey would be gone”. You say it as though that’s a bad thing

“Insert woody woodpecker laugh”. Fuck you Adam

Compromise. Bring the vks over. And plop Adam Audrey chad anleah on the isle. Sink it into the ocean

Why didn’t Verna bring the barrier down. Oh yeah. Cause then she’d be useful

More singing

At least this takes place in daylight

I still hate harry

Push Harry in the drink please. IM LITERALLY BEGGING YOU

God I love Ben and Doug

Why the Charleston?

I still hate tremaine

Well. Jane. In ZM. You met Mal. She’s Carlos’s mother in this au

Giljay. It’s cute

So Harry makes me ill right upbto the end. Now he’s related to purple and blue

🎶a bitch is in the dog house🎶. And deservedly so

🤮🤮🤮🤮

Sweet little king

Oh boy

Whore has a turkey neck

This is the end. Good movie. With some unneeded bits. I’m gonna change a lot in ZM part three. And both dedications broke me.

Real

Prompt: What’s the matter? Word Count: 649 Ship: Malvie A/N: @dancergymnast2003 requested this on a fic I (@probablyonearth) submitted to @queendohertyplayfair last week, I hope you don’t mind

~

   Needless to say, Evie was sad. Testing has gone by, dresses were designed, and friends were made. It had been a good week, but the little things added up.   "Her brains are fake."   "She lies."   "I heard she just dated Doug to get good grades."   "Well, I heard that she stole designs from a company and took credit for it."   "Her hair is so fake."   "She doesn't even fit in properly. Mal's a leader, Carlos is smart, Jay's strong. What's she? A pretty face?"   She'd think that after two months in Auradon that people would just accept that they were there. Yet still, the hate comments kept coming. As of right now, she was holed up in her dorm, curled up into a corner on the floor next to her bed and bawling her eyes out. It didn't help that those words, those insults, were in her own voice. It was her voice that echoed in her head, not anyone else's, though they had a week ago.   She was just so tired of having to prove herself. Why couldn't she ever be enough for anyone? Doug and she had broken it off on good terms, agreeing that neither was the right person that they were looking for, but the news spread like wildfire. Did he dump her because she was a villain? Did she dump him because he wasn't a prince? The rumours were endless, and each one seemed to tear away at her armour.   There was a soft knock at the door before it creaked open. "E?" Mal's voice called softly. Evie just sniffed in response.   "Oh, Evie," Mal whispered, crouching down and taking Evie's hands in her own. "What's wrong, E?"   "Who am I, Mal?" Evie cried, her voice wobbling.   Mal smiled, her eyes tender and warm. "You're Evie. Greatest up-and-coming fashion designer in all of Auradon. You're Evie of the Isle, and of Auradon, a girl who overcame both worlds. You're Evie, one of the smartest people that I know, even without Doug or your mirror. You're Evie, who is so beautiful whether or not you choose to wear makeup, or pick a matching outfit, or style your hair. You're my best friend, the one who's been with me even though I treated you horribly, even though I ran away, even though I was broken inside. You chose to pick me up and put me back together. You're Evie, the girl with the biggest smile possible and an even bigger heart. Whether you like it or not."   "But what if I'm not? What if I'm nothing more than just a pretty face?"   "If you weren't more than just a pretty face, then Ben would be swimming with the sharks right now. I would still be on the Isle. Dizzy would still be on the Isle. Doug would have less confidence. Carlos would be trapped with Cruella. Jay might still be stealing." Mal squeezed her hands tighter. "We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you."   "Other girls were saying that I'm just a fake," Evie confessed, wiping tears from her eyes.   "And it's not your place to listen to them. People will always be jealous of you because you're such a good person, better than they will ever be." Mal leaned forward and touched their foreheads together. "Don't worry about them, E. Hate is just a weapon, and all wounds can be healed."   For the first time that day, Evie let a smile work its way onto her face. "Thanks, M,"   Mal stood and held her hand out for Evie to take.   "Come on, we're going to go on a date and I'm going to prove how very real you are to me."

@moorsgrimhilde <3 Hahah, big same. I had to shove this AU out of my brain to finish work but oh man it’s hanging over me and I’m just like *points spray bottle* no... too much to do already jkdjaklgjklas

I would absolutely love to hear your dragon!Mal headcanons, yesssss!! Please tag me when you make the post and I will very happily read it. <3 Evie loving dragon!Mal so much is so damn important because I feel like..... Maleficent scarred Auradon so badly in that form and it’s easy to imagine people having an easier time accepting Mal if she suppresses that part of herself, but like? It’s who she is?? Even if not all the time? That dragon blood is always in her and it’s so unhealthy for her psyche to be suppressing it or even feeling self-loathing over it. But I feel like if Evie can prove to Mal that she loves and accepts and trusts that part of her, then Mal can learn to care less what other people think. And THEN they can live their best lives because who needs to waste money on a fucking car when your girlfriend is a whole ass dragon tbh. Go on vacation in STYLE. <3

oh my god wait CONCEPT: Malvie/Jaylos double date where Evie rides dragon!Mal while Jay and Carlos ride a magic carpet. I’m living for this image...

@moorsgrimhilde My tag talking digression to you just now got me thinking about a Malvie Swan Princess AU send help jdkajdklgsjakglsjkl

Okay, but imagine it though… Evie as the Swan Princess, of course, but then Maleficent as Rothbart except she has Mal stepping in as the black swan who’s supposed to get Evie to agree to marry her. If she doesn’t agree, then Mal is supposed to go after Prince Ben, who was Evie’s intended (arranged marriage; Ben and Evie are childhood friends, but they don’t like each other like that).

Throw in Carlos and Jay as humans under a curse (enchanted like Evie, but they can’t change back as easily as her) who befriend swan!Evie on the lake. Not sure what their backstory would be yet, but you get it.

AND THEN and then have Mal genuinely catch feelings for Evie, which was not part of the plan. It’s not reciprocal at first because Evie sees Mal as the enemy until Mal starts trying to help her and gain her trust and go behind Maleficent’s back.

Final battle scene: Maleficent turns into a dragon and Mal takes up a sword and just straight up destroys her because she thinks Evie is dead, but of course she’s not. And destroying Maleficent breaks the curse on Carlos and Jay so they all get to live happily ever after because obviously Jaylos is in love, too. <3

anyway I’m not gonna write it because I have no time for more projects rn but I had to get this out of my system because I love The Swan Princess and this AU got into my veins djkajgklsjgkla

@annoyingmeviestan <3<3<3 This pleases me in my soul. I’m really really happy you liked it!! I already told you this but I will say it again: them colourssss. I am a slut for blue and purple haha. Malvie has the best couple colour scheme ngl. It was a pleasure to design this for you! *hugs* Also, fun fact: I have been reading the second part of your AO3 username as a single word (pronounced like “tox-ih-car-ee-ah”) and I don’t know why my brain just decided that was totally A Thing. Like, “Ah yes, I love to buy poisons at Malvie’s Toxicaria” lmao. And then today when I was touching up the font, I was like, “Oh my god, wait, it’s Malvie’s TOXIC. ARIA.” jkdjsljdgksajkg. Sometimes it shows that my parents raised me and neither of their first languages’ are English. Or I’m just a fool and that’s the excuse I’m going with hahah.

<3 Anyway, thank you so much for your kind words! You’re a lovely person and always so passionate, it’s fun to chat with you and to celebrate your work! Once this project is done and I have all the links compiled, I hope this will draw some new eyes to everyone’s work and help more people fall in love with Descendants.

Yes, hello, angels. I hope you didn’t think I was just gonna let y’all get away with being human sunshine yesterday like it was nothing. I started on this very large project tonight and I wanted to be sure you four were the first to get a sneak peek of what I’m doing as a thank you for all the love and sweetness. ♥♥♥

@ my other dear mutuals: If you’ve written something, I’m coming for you. Rest assured. Haha. Just not tonight because my wrists are actually dead from this lmao. But anyway, I am going to fit as many of you as I possibly can here. ♥

(This pic is cropped. There are so many more books. SO MANY. Don’t worry.)

Actually, you may be wondering what the heck this is. Good question.

THIS… is a little project I am calling… “All Fanfiction Writers Are Incredibly Valid, Fight Me About It, I Dare You” (working title). These book cover designs are all inspired by Victorian style book covers, but with a modern twist. If you want my more Pretentious Art Commentary™, this is a middle finger to the whole idea that bound books, especially classic lit, is in any way objectively better than modern lit, an umbrella beneath which fanfiction tends to get stamped into the pavement. I love classic lit, but I literally will fight in a back alley over fanfic, so.

Anyway, all the images for this project come from Pixabay. Free to use/edit, no attribution required, etc, etc, but if you want to know where I got something in particular, please feel free to ask me and I’ll see if I can dig it up for ya!

Once this project is complete, I will link to allllll the fanfics and authors that are represented, but for now, I’m gonna be lazy and say if you want to read any of the lovely fics here, just send me an ask and I will hook you up with a link. ;)

That’s all for now! I’ll share more updates later on, as this progresses. ♥
