INFORMATION. ⽠š âžÂ MALâS SB. ⽠² âž MALEFICENTâS SB.  ⽠³ âž
FIRST & FOREMOST: I expect all of my rules to be read, as this blog is highly divergent and primarily headcanon-based. When I follow someone, it is always after I have read their rules and about page. I expect the same etiquette to be followed in return. I will know if you do not read any of my pages and I will hard block those who show that they have not, with no warning and no hesitation.
DISCLAIMER: This is an independent dual writing blog for Maleficent and her daughter, Mal. I do not own Mal, Descendants, Maleficent, or their original source materials/characters. Any headcanons or metas that you see on this blog are mine and mine alone. Maleficent and Malâs main arcs on the blog, beginning at the point of this portrayalsâ canon divergence, are also mine. Please do not lift my content. I will notice.
GENERAL: Please do not hound me for replies or lack of online presence. Writing and roleplaying are hobbies and I will never treat it as anything less or more. Also, I am in grad school and work full time.
WRITING: This blog is mainly PLOT - BASED. I love world - building and creating complex dynamics between muses. I prefer writing in the third person. If there is ever something in my writing that you do not understand, please do not hesitate to ask me for clarification and I will gladly elaborate or edit my reply for better comprehension. My default verse is dependent on the muse you choose to plot with. Maleficent is in Seattle, Washington, biding her time in wait of defeating Mal. Meanwhile, Mal is in New York City, plagued by night terrors that she suspects are warning her of a confrontation with her mother.
PORTRAYAL: While the original story for this character comes from Disneyâs Descendants movies based on Melisa de la Cruzâs novels or the Maleficent movies featuring A.ngelina J.olie (who is not my Maleficent FC), my Mal and Maleficent has been completely reworked in so much as removing her entirely from that canon.
As is my M.O., this portrayal deals with past lives. Mal is the daughter of Margaret Goode, who previously had been alive as Maleficent. During those days, Mal had been known as Lilith. While Maleficent is her mother, their relationship is one based in hatred and abuse, and is not healthy in the slightest. In fact, since their lives as Maleficent and Lilith, Margaret has been set on murdering Mal in order to escape her fate: being defeated by her own daughter, as has been done time and time again.
Growing up in her modern setting, Mal was heavily bullied by her peers. This, on top of the painful and tumultuous relationship with her mother, has left her severely hurt and difficult to get close to. She has trust issues, abysmal self-esteem, and a laundry list of mental illnesses. If youâre looking for a softer, Disney-friendly version of Mal, this is not the portrayal for you.
I DO NOT FOLLOW other Descendants or Mal/Maleficent blogs, due to the canon divergence of this characterization and portrayal. I have a very particular way that I envision these characters, so if you wish to write with me, it will likely be based in my canon divergent Descendants AU.
CONDUCT: I am highly selective and mutually exclusive. It is up to my own discretion whether I follow you back or not. Do not guilt me or follow and unfollow a million times to get my attention; you will be hard blocked. Non-mutuals are welcome to send in meta questions and out of character asks, but my starter calls and in character interactions are open only to mutuals. Please always specify if you want starters or memes from/with Maleficent/Margaret or Lilith/Mal.
I WILL NOT FOLLOW YOU IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A RULES PAGE. Any blogs that do not list their mun name and age will be disregarded. I love OCs, but if you do not have an about page, I will likely not follow you.
I do not have any triggers myself. NSFW and triggers will be tagged ânsfw //â and âtrigger //â. I do read my mutualâs rules pages and will tag as best as I can, but if I miss something, please tell me so immediately so that I can keep the dash comfortable for you.
Given the nature of some of the topics discussed here, this blog is 18+. Death, abuse, bullying, and various NSFW topics will be present. Mal was undiagnosed until she left her home and mother to go to college, but she has depression, anxiety, Bipolar disorder, and ADHD. I am intimately familiar with the first two; however, the third and fourth, I have done extensive research in, but if I ever represent either inappropriately, please do not hesitate in calling me out on it.
MUN: MY NAME IS RIONACH, OR RIO. This blog was previously known as malisent and rottcore. I am twenty six years old, my pronouns are she/they, and Iâm an elementary school teacher. I am also in grad school. I'm sure you can imagine my busy schedule, so please have some patience with me. I will certainly extend the same to my writing partners. I canât wait to write with you!
