hello there.

@ofmalice​   ,   starter call.

“  that  was  maybe  the  only  good  part  about  dying ,  ”      she  offers.  soft  hum  an  echo  behind  her  words ,    squeaking  out  between  sips  of  wine.    there’s  a  stillness  in  the  night  air.     one  that  has  not  found  them  quite  as  often  as  she  might  have  enjoyed.    so  it’s  relished  in ,  any  time  it  creeps  upon  their  doorsteps.      “  when  you  have  nothing  to  lose …  you  run  any  risk  you  want.  ”      further  echoes  a  hint  of  nostalgia  within  her  tone.    the  silenced  cry  to  days  when  being  the  most  powerful  had  seemed  worth  it.  a  luxury  not  so  much  shared  as  the  days  have  gone ,  but  oh  so  fun  to  laugh  at  now.      “  nobody  tells  you  popping  out  a  kid  and  adopting  about  a  hundred  more  changes  things.  ”

there’s a thoughtful hum that matches that of her companion. soft footfall accompanying as maleficent returns to the bed. fresh bottle of wine in hand, robe just barely tied, hanging loosely off thin frame. ❝ nobody told us anything about what was to become of this place, ❞ she soothes, knees sinking into the mattress in tandem with a shrug, ❝ I don’t think even auradon knew what the hell we were supposed to do here. ❞

life on the isle was far from perfect. inhumane from the day it was created. and yet there were bright spots. their children coming into their lives, like flowers sprouting atop a grave. something colorful in the darkness. something from nothing — and yet, they deserved everything. deserved so much more than their parents were able to give them, at no fault of their own.

maleficent settles into the soft embrace of her beloved’s arms, head rested back against ursula’s shoulder. there’s silence for only a moment as eyes wander across cracked windows. peering out at the embrace of moonlight. ❝ do you think they’re serious about letting some of the kids leave? ❞ her voice was above a whisper, fingertips mindlessly tracing over etches in the bottle,  ❝ I hardly trust any of those motherfuckers, but I’m terrified to deprive them of this chance if it’s legitimate. ❞

[ofmalice]

𝙰𝙽𝚂𝚆𝙴𝚁𝙴𝙳. ( @loregrown. ❛ who  did  this  to  you  ? ❜ )

there was a ringing within her ears. hands were pressed into either side of the sink basin. the once white porcelain stained and smeared with crimson that still dripped from across the captain’s frame. bruises, darker than the night sky that hung above, littered throughout. hair loose from its usual confines, fell in front of her face, as head is tipped forward. there was always exhaustion after battle. it was as certain as anything. though tonight it sunk deeper into war torn muscles than it ever had. pain radiating through every inch of her body, pulsating through the drakyn’s mind. there were flickers of regret. how could there not be, when all she could feel was flames. was there always? did every soldier carry home a weight of questioning upon their shoulders? or did only monsters feel no doubt?

she barely registers the voice at first. it takes a moment for gaze to turn upward — but in tandem, so do the corners of maleficent’s mouth. ❝ I got knocked from my horse. ❞ her voice is harsh. it usually was after a long conquest. commanding orders overtop chaos always left strain. there’s an echoing crack as she twists her neck sideways, freeing the tension in her neck.

it’s then she manages to stand up straight. not without effort, visibly. yet still bare feet cross stone, closing the gap between them. ❝ hi. ❞ maleficent whispers, thumbs brushing against delilah’s cheeks, taking the archmage’s face into aching palms. leaning down to give a warm, lingering kiss from cold lips.  ❝ I missed you. I did not want to wake you just yet. I've only been back an hour. ❞

Questioning Minds meme

for muses who notice & ask questions about it. some of these are statements more than questions - but they’re still asking about something, so they are on the list. have fun!

“How long have you had this?”

“Have you ever thought maybe you didn’t want to…?”

“What do you like about it?”

“You don’t ask for a lot.”

“Did you ever…?”

“What is it about that [item/place]?”

“You’re not surprised.”

“Where did you get that scar?”

“You know more about this than I do.”

“Are you afraid of it?”

“Can I help?”

“What made you do it?”

“What were you thinking?”

“They have a much different impression of you than I do.”

“Why are you here?”

“What was your mother/father/childhood like?”

“This isn’t the first time this has happened.”

“When you had [experience]… what was that like for you?”

“What was your first impression of me?”

“Did you ever think we’d end up like this?”

“How’s your breathing?”

“Are you thinking of doing [x] again?”

“Do you need me to come home?”

“I love you.” (oh boy, when this is a question, not a statement.)

“Did you ever speak to someone about it?”

the king is giving a festival !

i wish the walls were full of gold ,  i wish a lot of things .

sometimes i wonder what’s going on in that head of yours .

what are you doing ?  stop your pretending .

are you certain of your way ?

the way is clear ,  the light is good .

the woods are just trees ,  the trees are just wood .

are you really wearing that ?

it’s not what i wish ,  it’s what you wish .

i could’ve turned him into stone .  or a dog .  or a chair .

a small price to pay for what you stole from me .

well ,  that’s another story .  nevermind ,  anyway .

sorry ,  i’m still not mollified .

how could you do that ?

your father was no father ,  so why should you be ?

we’re starving ,  [ name ] !  don’t you understand that ?

we have to live ,  i don’t care how .

look what i found .  here ,  take this .

no ,  i can do this on my own .

it may be all in vain ,  you know .

i have no fear ,  nor no one should .

careful not to lose the way .

what’s your rush ?  you’re missing all the flowers .

look what you’re ignoring .

why do you think i asked you to do it in the first place ?

get me what i need  …  get me what i need !

you’d look pretty foolish .

i’d rather a wolf than you any day !

you shouldn’t be here ,  it’s not safe in these woods .

i was just trying to help .

we have one chance .  don’t you see that ?

i’m not sure i’m cut out to be a father .

if you can’t do this for yourself ,  can’t you at least do it for me ?

don’t you look lovely today ,  my dear ?

i brought your favorite .

i can’t believe i just did that .

wait a minute ,  i never thanked you .

i’m sorry .  i should’ve known better .

i had been so careful ,  i never had cared .

he made me feel excited ,  well  …  excited and scared .

they will not protect you the way they should .

nice is different than good .

isn’t it nice to know a lot  …  and a little bit not ?

oh ,  get your head out of the clouds !

i just need to catch  my breath .

aren’t you the lucky one ?

please don’t let them know that i’m here .

i’ve never lied to royalty before .

it’s not quite what i expected .

you’re free to do whatever pleases you .

steal what you can and run !

you’re back again ,  only different than before .

i never even reached home .

who cares ?  get it back .

get away from me with that ,  you fool .

i shouldn’t have yelled .

i will make things right ,  and we can carry on with our lives .

will you go ?  please .  go .

when the one thing you want  …  is the only thing out of your reach .

the woods can be a dangerous place .

i thought you were returning home !

do you mean you’re going to let me stay with you ?

perhaps it will take two of us to have this child .

i thought one was enough ,  it’s not true .  it takes two of us .

when the journey was tough ,  it took two of us .

at home i’d fear we’d stay the same forever .

what did i clearly say ?   what were you not to do ?

what have i been to you ?  what would you have me be ?

i embarrass you .  you are ashamed of me .

don’t you know what’s out there in the world ?

someone has to shield you from the world .  stay with me .

who out there could love you more than i ?

the world is dark and wild .

stay a child while you can be a child .

i gave you protection ,  and yet you disobeyed me .

where you’re going ,  no one will ever see you again .

whichever you pick ,  do it quick .

it’s fun to deceive when you know you can leave ,  but you have to be wary .

at home ,  they don’t care .  i’m better off there ,  where there’s nothing to choose so there’s nothing to lose .

wait ,  please !   i haven’t much time .

that makes no sense !

what is that you have in your hand ?!

i would recognize these beautiful eyes anywhere .

is that you ?  i’m blind ,  i can’t see .

you could’ve been killed !

i was just thinking of the greater good .

i don’t have the constitution .

as long as i can be no help ,  i’m going to hide .

i don’t know where they think they’re going .

this is who i truly am ,  my dear .

why did you run off ?

i will not come with you .

you leave me no choice .

i shouldn’t complain .

i’m not allowed to leave the palace unescorted .

if you’d like ,  you can come with me .

i shall not forget you ,  and how alive you’ve made me feel .

you’re hurting me !

stop ,  stop !  i said stop !

this is all my fault .

remorse will get you nowhere .

when you’re dead ,  you’re dead !

this is no time to be soft - hearted !

you’re responsible ,  you’re the one to blame .  it’s your fault !

you’re all liars and thieves .

you’ll just do what you do .

it doesn’t matter if we’re together or apart .

i’m sorry ,  i did a foolish thing .

i didn’t realize ,  i was being careless .  selfish .

you stole and got caught and did what you do !

i hated myself .  i ran away from my guilt and shame .

aren’t you making the same mistake ?

be better than me .

i knew you wouldn’t give up .

that doesn’t matter ,  now .

first ,  we’ll need a weapon .

i did not recognize you ,  what are you doing here ?

maybe i’m not your only love .

if you love me ,  why did you stray ?

i thought that if you were mine ,  i would never wish for more .

i was raised to be charming ,  not sincere .

i think you should go .

i’m glad you’re here to help me .

you are not alone .  no one is alone .

you’ll do nothing of the kind .

what he did was wrong .  he should be punished .

it’s not as easy as that .

who can say what’s true ?

believe me ,  no one is alone .

people make mistakes .  fathers ,  mothers ,  people make mistakes .

you decide what’s right .  you decide what’s good .

just remember ,  someone is on your side .  someone else is not .

i miss her ,  too .

how can i go about being a father when i had no father to show me ?

sometimes people leave you  …  do not let it grieve you ,  no one leaves for good .

things will be alright now .

❛ And for twenty-five years, nothing. Not a whisper, not a clue. ❜

❛ Look at her – I would die for her. I would kill for her. Either way – what bliss. ❜

❛ Unhappy, darling? ❜

❛ Cara mia! ❜

❛ Last night, you were… unhinged. You were like some desperate, howling demon. You frightened me. Do it again. ❜

❛ Sorry about the window! ❜

❛ They grow up so fast, don’t they? ❜

❛ Don’t torture yourself. That’s my job. ❜

❛ Don’t tease. ❜

❛ Let me go! ❜

❛ Gimme that! Stop it! I’m warning you! It’s not a good day! ❜

❛ Can’t you keep up? ❜

❛ I wish you’d drop by more often. ❜

❛ The seance - tonight. Won’t you come? ❜

❛ Wait a minute, hold on! You have to listen to me! ❜

❛ Please… Just hear me out… ❜

❛ What a miserable evening. ❜

❛ Did you hear that?! ❜

❛ But don’t you think that’s absurd? ❜

❛ Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard? ❜

❛ Darling, how does this work again? ❜

❛ Don’t be shy. ❜

❛ Can you ever forgive me? ❜

❛ You were so dashing, you could have any woman you wanted, dead or alive. ❜

❛ Water under the bridge. Forgiven. Forgotten. ❜

❛ You forgot our secret password? ❜

❛ Can I have ice cream? ❜

❛ You spoil me… mon amour. ❜

❛ Isn’t it too enchanting? ❜

❛ There’s a trick to it. Of course. ❜

❛ Oh, no. ❜

❛ What is truth? What is fiction? ❜

❛ But let’s get to bed. ❜

❛ Spirits above me - give me a sign! Shall I be joyous? Or shall I be damned? ❜

❛ Sleepless night? ❜

❛ I don’t think so. ❜

❛ Here it is - suspicion and anxiety. ❜

❛ Haven’t you ever slaughtered anyone? ❜

❛ I’ve been around. I pick things up. ❜

❛ It’s going to be fun! ❜

❛ Darling, I’m sorry! ❜

❛ I said I was busy! ❜

❛ I changed my mind! ❜

❛ It’s a promise. ❜

❛ You were terrific. ❜

❛ What a sublime evening. A theatrical triumph… ❜

❛ A Shakespearean delight! ❜

❛ You were so beautiful - pale, and mysterious. ❜

❛ You bewitched me. I proposed that very night. ❜

❛ You were so right! What an evening! ❜

❛ How long has it been since we’ve waltzed? ❜

❛ Sometimes people have had terrible childhoods. And sometimes they just haven’t found their special place in life. And sometimes they’re dogs from hell and must be destroyed. ❜

❛ Despite everything, I don’t hate you. ❜

❛ Darling, take care! ❜

❛ To live without you - only that would be torture. ❜

❛ A day alone - only that would be death. ❜

❛ You never really loved me! ❜

❛ Come, my love - to safety! ❜

❛ What can I say? He’s going to break hearts. ❜

— I think a lot about how in most verses, I tend to have M leaning towards using weaponry when fighting, instead of solely relying or focusing heavily on magic. she absolutely uses magic in battle, but in a similar way to force users in s.tar wars using the force as a tool secondary to their lightsaber in a fight.  ( pushing individuals back to control the flow of the fight, crushing / snapping necks, changing the environment around them, etc. )

magic has always been a part of her, but her brutal nature is something she’s let come forth as she got older. this animalistic nature of the dragon she’s unknowingly suppressed for so long. it sort of boiled over, and now she can’t help but to follow the new chain of command in her body. putting a weapon in her hand, the fluid motion that comes with using it, feels so natural. somehow it feels more natural than magic ever was. and in verses where she’s reincarnated, where magic isn’t a part of minerva and she’s mortal, that fire is still here deep down. even when magic was gone, the fury always would remain.

magic becomes secondary when all she can feel is that red hot rage coursing through her and a desperate need to rip and tear. this part of her that isn’t supposed to be contained in a “humanoid” body; she was robbed of the chance to fully shift, to control those urges, and she’s paying the price heavily for it.
