Thank you for the tag @wellbelesbian @monbons

I'm dealing with self improvement in various areas in my life (i'm doing great but it's exhausting), but last week, I managed to spit out 8k words of my MalMage fic, so now I get to shamelessly promote it.

I have 12 chapters published in ao3 and I wrote 13 last week, but I still need to rewrite things. This chapter is very important because it changes everything coming up next. It's when Natasha and Malcolm start talking! Finally.

MALCOLM “I’m sorry we’re introduced like this,” I say, turning to her, offering my hand. “I don’t believe we’ve ever talked. Malcolm Grimm.” “Polite jerk,” Davy whispers, and stands from his seat, leaving. I don’t pay him any attention as Natasha takes my hand, shaking it firmly but not to hurt. “I know,” she says, pulling her hand back. “Natasha Mayar Pitch.” My eyebrows go up. “Mayar?” She smiles. “My mum is from Egypt. It’s a family name when it comes to women. If you’re a boy, it's Tyrannus.” I laugh a bit, quickly covering my mouth. “Oh, sorry, that was distasteful.”

I started writing this fic because I was incredibly upset at Natasha. Rainbow once said that if she was alive, she would have killed Baz for the vampire thing and I was not okay at all. So I made this fic as a big "fuck you", only she turned out to be more interesting as a grey character. However, in spite of my love for MalMage, I do think she was a good match with Malcolm. And I love early on Natasha/Malcolm, so I like writing them starting to fall in love.

sorry to be that guy but, for the shipping ask game: ✨ malmage ✨

Don’t ever apologize for asking me about malmage 🤣

Do I ship it? Yes!

What made you ship it?

I blame @krisrix’s art & @sillyunicorn sliding into my DMs to talk about it. And then, you know, I used my brain. It was right there.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

That I get to be mean to them and no one wants to stop me. Torturing Davy via Malcolm’s cock is something that can be so personal to a girl. Really it’s that they are the worst timeline of what Simon and Baz could have been but they did it to themselves.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

I don’t know if it’s an unpopular opinion, per se, but I consider my fics canon 🤣 also I think Davy has a weird chip on his shoulder about Natasha and banging it out with Malcolm makes him feel like he’s taking something else from her.

Send me some asks!

[ebbpettier]

the line people tend to fixate on in no children is “hand in unloveable hand” (and sometimes “I hope we both die”) but the real deep dreadful core of my malmage is actually

i hope it says dark forever/ I hope the worst isn’t over/ i hope you blink before i do / i hope i never get sober

[onepintobean]

Mal mage in animal crossing! Or pornbot baby? I miss carry on animal crossing! (And evidently am feeling cursed!)

ask and you shall receive

(sorry for using my powers for evil)

[confused-bi-queer]

i will use this post to argue MalMage is canon. You can’t change my mind, but I can change yours, just wait for me to write that fic

it could be argued that this is not an alternative/side ship but in fact the main plot. however - personally think it would be neat if they were both eaten by merwolves and Daphne Grimm inherited the earth.

[valeffelees]

I wanna hear you break down Davy

@ileadacharmedlife

Y'ALL SO LOYAL

How I feel about this character

davy cadwallader is the diseased mouse i want to befriend. he's such a fucking pathogen. he's so fucking annoying. davy's hobbies include: being a goddamn nuisance. he is a professional inconvenience. why the hell is he dressed like that? nobody knows. yes, i think he's hot. lmfao, ok. but real talk: without writing an essay here (my beloved and most loyal companion @drowninginships can attest that when i really get started on my davy mage meta bullshit i just don't shut the fuck up about it), the long and short of it is -> i think davy blows chunks but he's so interesting. his story is so fucked up. davy is claude frollo with a robin hood complex, that's my favourite way to look at him. nobody in their right mind is out here saying davy isn't god-awful, right, but he's not as black and white as people make him out to be. the whole point of davy's character is that he viewed himself as good, he wanted to do good. but it was to such an extreme that he was willing to do terrible shit for it, and the deeper he spiralled, the more his vision tunnelled and the more amoral his actions became. he's a really, really well-written villain.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

i like davy and lucy. i don't like how shit ends, obvs, and i don't like the shape their lives take before that, but i dunno. their story is a tragedy. i think they really did love each other, even though it wasn't good. i think both can be true. and yeah, malmage. i wasn't into it at first, but then i started reading cautionary tale by @confused-bi-queer and it snapped me in half. rotted my brain to slop. holy fuck, it is so good.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

davy doesn't want friends. lucky for him, nobody wants to be his friend bc he sucks! 👍 but, headcanon: davy has a cousin named corianne he gets on with alright enough. i mean, kinda. he thinks she's dumb as rocks, she thinks he's an asshole. only one of them is correct, and it's not davy. but they have a brother-sister type thing.

My unpopular opinion about this character

most of my opinions are unpopular ones. 😂

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

CARRY ON COUNTDOWN DAY 11 - ALTERNATIVE/SIDE SHIPS 🛳️

Rating: Teen and Up

Summary: Agatha goes on a vaguely bad date, but at least her waitress is hot.

You do not know how many demons I had to fight to not write malmage for this prompt. (Maybe I still will at some point…) however! This was just too tempting. Enjoy!

[martsonmars]

For your ask game: snowbaz (I’m basic but be glad I didn’t say malmage), angsty, hurt/comfort, ex’s to lovers, mutual pining, HURT ME

You said hurt me, so.

When Simon leaves Baz, they're standing under the blinding lights of a too crowded street, surrounded by too many unbeating hearts.

When Simon sees Baz again, there are holes in his sneer and more anger in his eyes than Simon's ever seen.

Or: when he comes back to England two years after Simon left him in the middle of the Strip, Baz is exposed as a vampire and faces the consequences. When he stumbles into a pub to drink the bitterness away, the last person he expects to serve him alcohol is Simon Snow. The same Simon Snow who got his wings removed to cut off the last string tying him to magic and disappeared many months ago.

They're both hurt, angry with a world that asked so much from them and never gave anything but pain back, and still nursing an open wound shaped like the love they could've had.

Will they tear each other apart, or mend each other's hearts and set the rest of the world on fire?

I want to write an apology.

I like writing MalMage and thinking of ways to make them exist since that pair is basically death, and I used Chat GPT once to write me something because I got tired. I lost a good friend in the fandom due to this and I realize this was something incredibly shitty to do. I hadn't realized how harmful it was to the other people who write (or write) MalMage. Since it's a small, rare pair, the harm I did was basically specifically directed at 8 persons, who were the ones with MalMage works on ao3.

I didn't realize what I was doing, I wasn't aware of the impact I made using AI to create something that's art because we come up with it on a daily basis thanks to our human experiences and human memories.

I have no excuses, I really did something horrible. If you want to block me because of this, I understand. I deserve that.

I'll do better, and I will never again use AI to do anything, not even when I'm bored or too tired. That's when I must use my imagination, as I was told.

I really am upset that this mistake cost me a really good friendship, but I understand. I get it. And thank you for the encouragement writing a rarepair, I'm sorry I disappointed you.

I will also stay out of social media because I think I need some time to think about how much of an asshole I was.

I'm sorry, everyone, for using AI to harm your work.

With the release of RWRB’s movie premier date, here are some of my crackish predictions about the worst way CO could be adopted into a movie:

They combine Agatha and Penny’s character and make her white, but Dev and Niall stay separate characters (also both white)

Fiona is played by an actress younger than Baz

Baz’s widow’s peak has to be CGI’ed in

Simon’s hair is blonde and not curly

Simon gets wings but no tail

The Mage is played by Daniel Craig and Colin Firth plays Malcolm and Christina never sleeps again because she’s too busy writing malmage for the rest of her life

Lucy’s ghost isn’t included

They never mention Professor Minos; a tragedy

No fireplace kiss

They combine Mitali and Mrs Wellbelove’s characters and never explain it even though they’re married to two different men

In fact they add in an original male character with no plot relevance, who is also white

Ebb stills dies

Reblog with your own terrible predictions

[ebbpettier]

YOU SHIP MALMAGE????

ship is a very strong word. it's less that i like to think they would have romantic feelings for each other, and more that at rock bottom, i can perfectly envision them both hating themselves so much that the only other person who could possibly hope to understand them is another guy that also hates them so very much.

[martsonmars]

i need to sleep (it's so fucking late, i got lost doing a malmage puzzle) (never thought i'd say these words) but after posting my sss i wrote more than i did in the past week. i didn't write much, but still! i hope i'll still be inspired tomorrow.
