nik malikov headcanons because he is a surprisingly underrated character

put some respect on my man's name, okay?

-he played just dance with everyone one night and did rasputin perfectly. they all looked at him like he was crazy, and he said "how do you think i spent my time in prison?'

-listens to a lot of grunge rock. nirvana, stone temple pilots, soundgarden, pixies, etc. to his surprise, hanna also loves all those bands too

-nik lets hanna color in his tattoos with markers

-accidentally called isaac grant "dad" once and never lived it down

Isaac Grant: We call that a traumatic event. Isaac Grant, looking at Nik: Not a "bruh moment." Isaac Grant, looking at Hanna: Not a "major L." Isaac Grant, looking at Ella: And definitely not an "OOF LMAO."

There’s like zero fan content for the Illuminae files but like. Some of the stuff I do see they would not fucking look like that.

«i was thinking,» he murmurs. «there'a billion different versions of you out there, in a trillion different universes. and i still can't get over how lucky i am that, out of all those versions, you're the one that's mine.»

Nik: I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with 'em later.

Why has no one seem to have read the Illuminae Files?? These books are seriously the most amazing sci-fi (or any really) books I've ever read. Ever.

And what I do see, no one ever mentions Ella. Ella is THE fcking main character, if ever there is one. She literally survived a plague, didn't want to be known for it, flushed evil bozos out of a spaceship, did a bajillion other amazing things, and no one talks about or draws her in anything.

Also please if you do draw the characters, please remember that these characters are literally kids. the oldest one is 18. they aren't airbrushed insta models in their twenties. no. they're war victims and survivors, in their teens. their age is a massive part of the books.

also, I think I need a Nik Malikov, just saying.

I am writing Kady and Ezra and I am listening to a string quartet play Never Gonna Give You Up over and over again

[what-life-im-a-fangirl]

Kady: You really put aside everything and came all this way for me? How did you even get here so fast?

Ezra: Several traffic violations.

Nik: Three counts of resisting arrest.

Ella: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drinks.

Hanna: Also, that is not our car.

AIDAN: I pRoViDeD SiReN nOiSeS.

Fandoms

Every story is told

Whether in new tv shows or books of old

From the Ballad of Bo and Ro

To the scar that adorns Prince Zuko

Or the endeavors of messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs

And the sweet mockingjay as it sings its fateful songs.

There’s a story behind Davy Jones and his cephalopod physique,

As well as one behind Melinda May and her fighting technique.

There’s a story behind the pistol shot in the sky, and the shot thrown away,

And one of no requiems with nothing to say

One behind the metal staples inside Dabi’s face

One from Nik Malikov and Hannah Donnelly, locked in an embrace.

There’s a story behind every katana that slices through demon flesh

And one from Leo Valdez, a new life, starting fresh.

There’s a story in the sewers, with a shadow that lives inside

And another as the twinless Traveler wakes up in Teyvat, eyes wide.

A pink haired Telepath, who just wants to draw

An Inator-loving, divorced pharmacist who’s not afraid to break a law

Navier Trovi, contently stroking her Queen

Hawkmoth in his room of butterflies, unseen.

Every single person, real or not

Lives a life, does what their taught

They all share their sorrows, their joys, their dreams.

Because in a small way, they think and feel, like you and me.

In all entirely I’m not sure why I wrote this (I was bored)

But I just did it, started to remininse (I apologize if this shows up on your dashboard)

Anyways if you know like 5 references in this random poem then you’re already a friend of mine

And if you can, reblog this, if you have the time ;)

I don't know anything much about Illuminae Files but, can you draw your fav Illuminae Files character(s) if you have?

Illuminae Files is a great book trilogy you should read it! It's Sci fi, so if u like that stuff then def check it out! [Quick note; there's technically four books, but one of them is a prequel novella, Memento]

ANYWAYS MY FAV CHARACTERS HANDS DOWN:

Nik Malikov [from Gemina (Illuminae Files Book 2)]. This isn't how he's described in the book exactly bc I took some artistic liberties in his design. BUT HOLY SHIT JUVENILE DELINQUENT IN [RUSSIAN] GALACTIC MAFIA??? HELLLL YEAHHH!! [no spoilers here read the book dammit]

And quick disclaimer for this next character; it's an AI so technically can't really been drawn, but I have an au where it is a human[oid], and that's the design you see here:

anyways AIDAN [short for Artifical Intelligence Defense Analytics Network] is an AI for a military vessel. Some say he's it's corrupt, but a certain someone will tell you differently...
