Happy Davy's Day

Hello friends! Today (as of 2 days ago) is Davy's birthday, so I decided to finish a drawing I've been plotting.

If you know me, you know I'm obsessed with MalMage, ergo I'm obsessed with Davy Cadwallader and Malcolm Grimm as separate characters (and together, love them). But their younger versions hold such a especial place in my heart/life, I really love them a lot.

That's why I decided to show part of my perception/take on them individually. First goes Davy. These are some of the headcanons I've given him because of personal reasons or things that I like thinking he must have done when he was younger. I am open for a friendly discussion about Young Watford Davy, I love him.

This is my interpretation because I've spent almost the last 3 years of my life writing a MalMage fic (Cautionary Tale in AO3), since they were at Watford, and these are things I've thought about but haven't written them or already wrote them in that fic. And I wanted to draw him, look at him.

This is also a statement of mine. People have every right to like anything without having to explain why. Fanfiction and fanart exists for a reason. I won't ever shut up about MalMage. Ever.

This is also a gift for @valeffelees we appreciate you and your boyfriend in this side of the fandom ❤️

[facewithoutheart]

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

[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.

Six Something Sunday

Hello! Thanks for the tags @artsyunderstudy @thewholelemon @valeffelees @confused-bi-queer @monbons @youarenevertooold @whatevertheweather. It's fun seeing everyone come out of their post-COC / post-holiday dazes and writing up a storm.

I've been working as always on Basil Pitch's Diary, and I maybe maybe technically don't have any actual finished words of ch 12 yet, but I've done a lot of planning / problem solving that is making the writing of the chapter seem much closer. Which is exciting because [spoilers for BPD ch 11]

they finally KISSED and while it won't be all scones and roses from here on out, I should get to write Baz being at least momentarily happy and that's so great.

This early in the process I'm basically just writing stream-of-consciousness ideas by hand until my brain stumbles upon where it needs to be.

This ... isn't where it needs to be.

I didn't set out to start a MalMage romantic comedy but kind of think I did, and am not mad about it.

I'm so angey about the fandom's reaction to your genuine love for Davy that makes me want to create so much Davy content (outside MalMage) just to piss everyone off. I'm sorry this happened:(

i wish i was angry about it, but i don't have it in me. i'm tired, yk? thank you for reaching out. sorry i don't have more to say, but i appreciate you.

realising one of the ships in my dnd campaign is literally malmage (I dont mind it at all)

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!

Six Sentece Sunday

Hello friends! Yesterday was Davy's birthday and it made me very excited to share some headcanons I have about him and getting to draw him. You can find this "Meet Davy" here.

So, since I'm a MalMage shipper through and through, I'm also working on Malcolm's:

This is a teaser since I don't want to share the likes/dislikes yet, and I still don't know what he looks like either. I'll figure it out.

I've been working as well on my Davy/Lucy AU and here are some words:

Back at home, I’m used to expensive meals with uncomfortable clothes that suffocate your intestines when sitting, odd conversations with gentlemen whose wives never seem to please them, and boring myself to death because there’s nothing I could enjoy that doesn’t include my little brother, Jamie. And growing up where I have a title that includes having a name that’s deemed us worthy of a family sword, walking somewhere, taking the train… has never been inside my plans. Davy’s not his usual paranoid self as we’re walking hand in hand; we're talking about his latest discovery, and he’s looking at me. He’s such a passionate soul that when he shares his thoughts with me, he doesn’t stare. He’ll be pointing at a page on a book or talking with his hands or scribbling words he needs to visualise, but he doesn’t give me his entire attention. If it was anyone else, I would feel taken aback, but his blue eyes settled on me feel warm.

And I worked on my CORB from a couple years ago and the smut so far... it's going. I have no idea why I wrote this (maybe I'll change it), but this is what's going so far:

“Fuck me, Baz.” His tail squeezes my tail even more and one of his wings’ talons pokes my back in the wrong way. Simon’s nails break the skin of my back, and the smell of blood fills my senses. […] His whole body is shaking and I picture him back as a 20-year-old boy incapable of being intimate with his boyfriend due to trauma, crying during foreplay. It’s a measure I didn’t want to resort to, but I have no other option, if I want to keep us safe. I use more than necessary force to rip myself from Simon but I find it impossible.

Adult Simon having difficulties during foreplay is a very interesting topic, but I truly don't know if I should keep it because I want this fic lighter. (Although, when do I ever do anything light?)

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

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.

[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)

[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
