I thought she was in love with Diaval. — Angelina Jolie

i'll trash russian novel translations every day, but the russian movie dub, on the other hand, kinda EATS, and here's my favourite bit:

where in english diaval says, "in return for saving my life, i am your servant. whatever you need," in russian he says, "in gratitude for saving my life, i shall serve you. faithfully and truly".

and then when maleficent talks about her wings, where in english she says, "they never faltered, not even once," in russian she says, "they never faltered, they served me faithfully and truly."

they said we'll shove the parallel down your THROAT

Diaval x gn!reader

Summary: It was Aurora's coronation and Diaval surprises you with a present.

Warnings: none

Word Count: 975

A.N. this is shorter than my usual fics. Also, I am not making my titles (___ and ___) on purpose, lol

We were all so excited for a new era in the moors. Aurora was able to escape her fate, and now it was a time for celebration. Well, actually, time for her coronation, then the celebration.

"I had a hand in preparing festivities," Aurora began, "but wasn't able to see the final look. Oh, I can hardly stand the wait!" You were helping her style her hair. Due to the occasion, it would require many jewels and braids and all other 'nonsense' as Aurora would call it.

"I still do not see why I can not leave it down!" She would say. In reality, she was just trying to speed up the process of preparation as much as she could. In all fairness, you didn't know anyone who wasn't buzzing with excitement today. It had been so long since there were any coronation in the moors, and everyone wanted to do it right.

"It is tradition," you tried to tell her. But eventually, you gave in. With a sigh, you said, "We have changed many things from tradition today, actually." You looked at her in the mirror, "Why not this as well?"

"Yes! Please!" She turned to you with a bright smile. Just seeing the way her face lit up eased some of the pressure of having a traditional 'perfect' assembly. It made you think she too was part fairy, because she was definitely magical.

"Alright," you replied with a soft smile. She helped in taking down the braids you had already done. And after you brushed through her hair one last time, you set her free from her torment of being beautified. "Have fun."

"I will, and thank you for your help," being Aurora, she gave you a crushing hug.

"Careful! We worked hard on you," you joked. She carried her laugh with her as she left the room. You saw her embrace another in her path. You couldn't make out the stranger until he crossed the corner.

"Hello, fair (Y/n)," said Diaval with a small bow. He, too, must be overdoing the traditional values, you thought. You smiled at his formality and chose to copy it.

"Hello, dear Diaval," you bowed lightly, "how may I be of service?"

"I would like to bestow a gift on the most beautiful creature in the moors," his voice was smooth. It always made your heart flutter, no matter how long you've known him.

"Is Maleficent here as well?" You pretended to look for her.

"No, she is already in place. I meant the other most beautiful creature in the moors," he said cocking his head. He loved to play into your banters with you. It was one of the many reasons he was drawn to you initially.

You dropped the bit and laughed. "What do you have for me, my love?"

"A surprise, so you must close your eyes." You inhaled sharply and shut your eyes. Anticipation was growing in you with every second. You held out your hands for what new beautiful stone or shiny coin your lover had brought you now. You heard his steps move behind you, and your eyebrows knitted together lightly.

You felt a cool weight on your chest, a little lower than your collarbones. Then, a cool chain drop around your neck. When told to, you opened your eyes. You picked up the jade pendant and gasped. "Diaval, it's beautiful. Where did you find it?" You turned and sat on the same seat Aurora just was and gazed in the mirror.

He watched you admire the gem with an expression of adoration. "It was found in the river. The fae there gave it to me. I was told to only give it to one that I would pledge my heart to." He made eye contact with you in the mirror as he spoke. You turned from the mirror to look up to his eyes directly. He took one of your hands and placed it on his chest, "I pledge my heart to you, (Y/n)." The statement stole the air from your lungs.

You took one of his hands and placed it on your chest. "And I pledge my heart to you, Diaval." He looked into your eyes for a moment, studying every possible movement. He looked for any chance that you did not mean your declaration. When he could not find it, he sighed and rested his other hand on the side of your face.

His eyebrows furrowed upwards, utterly lost in you. As if in sync, you both collided in a kiss of passion. His hand that was on your heart slid down to your waist to pull you closer. Your hand that was on his heart moved up into his hair, finding a firm grip to push him further into you.

You both reluctantly pulled back for air. Diaval's hand comes up to hold the jade pendant, and you hold his hand over it as you both catch your breath. But soon your lips find each other again. However, they are interrupted by Aurora shouting, "C'mon! We are about to begin."

It shocked you both and you shared an embarrassed laugh. "On our way!" You called back. Diaval fixed your outfit and you fixed his hair.

He held out his arm, "Shall we?" You took it without hesitation, and you both arrived barely on time.

"And what kept you two from getting here earlier?" Maleficent raised a brow. Her tone would come off as cold to one who didn't know her well. But with the history the three of you had, you knew she wasn't really that upset.

"We got caught up, mistress. Apologies," Diaval replied.

Maleficent looked down at the necklace, now adorning your neckline. "Jade?" she looked up at you, then Diaval. She didn't day anything else, but a small smile appeared on her lips.

Modern (?) badass Diaval

[fandom-susceptible]

I was looking through Diaval's tag on here and just realized while there is a lot of Maleval posts out there no one is talking about two specific things that stick with me from the second movie.

When Maleficent was announced, on the way in to meet Philip's parents, she flared her wings behind Diaval and used one to pull him along At Her Side, keeping him close. Socially this also places him as her equal but yk what does she know of courtly manners, she's just doing it to keep hold of her emotional support raven.

Also, Diaval stood with the parents at the wedding ceremony. Right there with King John and Maleficent, because he raised Aurora too damn it.
