previous one went stratospheric so this came about lmao??

part 3 is now up!

This scene is one that always stuck out to me.

Not only because we see Malleus teach Silver and Sebek magic and them learning it easily from his instructions, but also Malleus’s response to Lilia’s teaching method.

We know from his platinum birthday card that Malleus, even as a child, was a prodigy. He’s strong even back then. Anything his tutors taught him, he already knew or easily learned.

He’s easily frustrated because he thought they were looking down on him. He’s someone who’s stuck in the castle all day. Of course, besides being smart from that age, he would learn and expand his knowledge.

He was scolded by Lilia for scaring away his tutors. (Which personally, makes me wonder, did he scare them away not only because they couldn’t attribute to his studies but also because he wanted to spend more time with Lilia?)

But knowing all this? We see here Malleus stating that Lilia’s teaching hasn’t changed. In fact, he recalls the moments fondly. Malleus, despite having trouble with Lilia’s guidance, he still tried to learn.

He didn’t drive him away. He tried to learn from him. (Not like he could have driven him away even if he tried lol).

He also went out of his way to learn what Lilia could have meant and master the skill.

In this way, Lilia didn’t only challenge Malleus but he also was able to spend time with him as Malleus would have wanted.

This allowed Malleus to grow and learn different teaching methods and styles as well which he used later to teach Silver and Sebek. We have also seen his knowledge first hand in main story and events.

All in all, Malleus might have had tutors and nannies, but none of them challenged or prioritized him and his needs.

But we know Lilia did, even in a roundabout way, Lilia was able to see what Malleus needed as he grew.

But this also brings up the fact, when you’re a genius, when everyone has this view of you of being so grand, you tend to believe it too, don’t you??

You expect more of yourself. You expect to know and be better.

But when you can’t? That’s what hurts the most. That’s when you see yourself as a failure.

Not only have you failed your own expectations, but that of others.

It is surprising then? That we see Malleus out in the snow?

Feeling down, because he doesn’t know how to stop Lilia from leaving. This feeling exacerbated when Silver cries to him.

What can he do then, really? When he can’t solve such a simple problem?

Not as a Draconian, as his grandmother stated, who protects their people.

And not as Malleus Draconia, who wanted Lilia to stay and Silver to not cry.

He has failed to help them as both their prince and someone who loves them.

shout out to all my mutuals that i've either never talked to or only talked to in discord servers, you're all super cool and i do really enjoy getting to talk to you in servers and such, i just become horribly awkward in one on one conversations

[insufferablemod]

I'm also super torn on whether or not Dave was homeschooled, but what if Bro just kind of... Did neither? Or maybe Dave went to like kindergarten/Pre-K or like first grade and then Bro pulled him? Just very minimal schooling. It's so tough!

i use 2 be fully on the home school side but then these three posts made me reconsider... n now im unsure which way i lean......

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

in dreams, lars meets you in warm conversation.

(no doubt those are warmer words than the ones he exchanged with you personally.)

in those dreams, he was sat beside or across you — a pitcher of your favorite drink and a bouquet of forget-me-nots between you two as you ask him how he is and has been. if the sun still shines the way it did when you were younger; when your hands treaded his hair like familiar lands and knotted them into anthuriums. if clouds still came in the shape of lions and gave him bravery through wisps of sunshine and breeze.

(he remembers how his hand was in yours as he pointed to the outlines of the animal, squeezing your hand tightly to get your attention,

— then he remembers how you only let him take your faltering, and limp hand; musing on how it felt as if he were preying on a dead bird.)

akin to the other dreams he’s had of you — like clockwork, you would shift in your seat by the second inquiry — gaze sweeping over any answers the blond had ready for you, wilting pathetically as mere syllables back into his throat before you pour yourself another glass; eyes fixated on the way his expression softens straight into a solid flatline.

and lars watches how you never finish.

the liquid spills out of the cup, it reaches out and over the table to spill into running waters, flooding him to the knees in a near-desperation to soak into the living for something- anything that could live on— but the sun bleeds into his eye, and the morning starts again.

a cold cup of your favorite drink by his bedside table, your voice in mind; and like clockwork — he gets up solely to meet you in warmer conversations than the one he held with you on your deathbed.
