Hi! Hello! Bonjour! My bestie and I talked about the coolness of the Mazelinka. And I remembered, as a child, I went to the Carpathians for the weekend. A local woman, hotel worker, fed the wolves. She fed them with what the guests had not eaten. So, the wolves ate brunza cheese and potato pancakes. Wild wolves from the 🦆ing forest (And I pet them!)
If any of the characters in the Arcana are capable of this, it is Mazelinka. We all know that the devil can be destroyed with a wooden spoon. Can we have HC about how wild and deadly animals of arcana universe get some 🥣 soup 🍲 (Maybe they are fed from the same spoon). Mazelinka's relationship with these wild animals. How M6 feel about it. Just, ~HOW~
Everything you can imagine about it, dear
Aaaa this is good. Yanny likey. This might seem a bit incoherent, I'm coming off of laughing gas and I don't normally write things like this? But I hope you enjoy nonetheless!
Muriel normally cooks for the wild animals in the forest, and he tries to extend as far into town as he can, but usually he doesn't go that far. (our boy has ✨social anxiety✨)
So, Mazelinka catches word (from gossip queen Portia, probably) that some wild animals on the outskirts of Vesuvia are getting fed by a cryptid and she thinks. "Wow! Great idea, I bet I can help." But she, obviously, interprets "Wild Animals" to mean wolves and bears and stray coyotes.
So, Mazelinka, being the badass grandma she is, makes, not just soup. Not just stew. Full platters of beef stroganoff for any wild animal she comes across.
Asra doesn't know. If someone does tell him, he doesn't know who Mazelinka is.
Julian thinks it's just another one of Mazelinka's things and he doesn't question it. (Secretly he's a little concerned about coming to see Mazelinka and finding her surrounded by wolves or something and then getting eaten by them, but that's not very realistic, now is it?)
Nadia only knows Mazelinka by correlation, but when she overhears that there's a badass old lady feeding wild animals beef stroganoff, she finds her, thanks her for helping keep children from being eaten by wild animals, and then asks for her beef stroganoff recipe.
Muriel finds someone else caring for nature as much as he does refreshing, but he finds Mazelinka's tactics.... interesting, to say the least. Plus, he's absolutely terrified of her, so there's that.
Portia knows what Muriel was originally doing, but she also knows that Mazelinka genuinely cares about people and animals and the ecosystem and all that jazz she doesn't completely understand, plus, she knows Mazelinka is a badass and thinks it's cool. (At one point she tries to feed a coyote some leftovers but she ends up having to get Muriel to make it leave her alone because it sat outside of her house for 6 days waiting for more food)
Lucio doesn't think it's that cool, I mean, everyone can feed wild animals, right? (Cue noises of a prosthetic arm clanking against the ground amidst screeching and frantic running and scratching)
