@beastingtm said : Birthday HC time bc I adore you and your bloggie! How open is Mal about sharing her birthday with others? How many people know? What would her perfect birthday look like? A big party, or just chilling with her closest friends? Does she have a birthday present wishlist? What's her favourite thing about birthdays? And what about her least favourite thing?
first of all !!! i adore you and your blogs too , xo. thank you so much for sending these :(((( and second , lemme just apologize now for how much i am going to ramble my way through this. i have A Lot of feelings when it comes to mal and her birthday. laughs. this got longer than i expected so i’m going to just... pop it under a cut.
how open is mal about sharing her birthday with others? the short answer: not at all. the long answer is... mal grew up in a household where parties, pretty much of any kind, were frowned upon. big time. on top of that, maleficent didn’t even tell her daughter when her birthday was. when she was like four or so, she tried to just declare a day for her birthday. stole herself a cupcake from the slop shop. and sang herself a little happy birthday. then right before she blew out the candle... her mother burst in her room. and shut the entire thing down. that’s it. it was over. from then she just kind of brushed birthdays aside. eh, if she got older.. no need to document it. so even now Knowing when that special day is for her, she doesn’t make a big deal out of it. people she gets close to will learn. either by asking or by being in a circle of people who do already know and it coming out when the day approaches. but it’s on a very... if you know, you know basis.
how many people know? it’s a Very very small circle. it started with her just telling evie. (she wanted to run to jay the minute she learned but.. she knew there was no way he was keeping a secret.) and when she felt comfortable, she eventually opened up to jay and carlos. and i think for a while she was very set on it being only the four of them that knew. it’s expanded since then but it’s still.. small.
what would her perfect birthday look like? a big party, or just chilling with her closest friends? i don’t think either..... mal has two specific and very different visions of a perfect birthday. the first one is the big, classic celebration with her mom standing by her side, all smiles and laughs. you know. that like picture perfect moment that everyone reads about in storybooks. and she kind of knows that will never happen. her second ‘perfect’ birthday is just.. a day where she can relax. and by relaxing, more specifically, where she can take a day off from this image she tries so hard to protect in everyone’s head. i think for most of the day she’d want to be alone.. in somewhere like the hideout where she can spray paint walls. or draw in her sketchbook.
does she have a birthday present wishlist? never. presents are... a Weird thing to her. i think she would love giving them. despite brushing it off with a ‘shut up, it’s no big deal’ or ‘okay, don’t make it weird’. but receiving them she just kind of... what? why? no, take it back. i don’t want it. ew. it’s ugly. (until you actually try to take it away from her and she just aggressively keeps it.)
what's her favourite thing about birthdays? and what about her least favourite thing? oooh. hm. i think for other people’s birthdays, she really likes the gift giving. even though she’s lowkey about it, she puts so much thought and effort into a person’s birthday present. and she loves seeing that expression on their face. and her least favorite, i think is (for her) how lonely it can feel. even on the birthdays where she happens to be with friends. she’s Vividly aware that her own mother never wanted to celebrate the day of her birthday. and that kind of hangs over her, almost all the time.
“ are you okay? ” ... the woman said, hands outstretched as if she were trying to calm an unhinged or nervous dog. though it was possible she was just trying to steady herself, after all the things she had just seen inside the house would make anyone uneasy. ( even someone as strong as lynn. ) her own face and body were covered in dirt, some blood as well. “ were you in there? ”
she had no seen him before, this was a stranger, yet it appeared as if he to had stumbled out of the collapsing house. her eyes were wide; grief stirred in them. they had lost a friend in there. “ did you just come out of that house too? ”
Audra sees the man and stops short. He’s familiar to her, though she can’t say exactly why. Something about seeing his face makes her sweat, makes her heart clench. She looks around for Bill and knows he isn’t there, that he’s back at the Derry Townhouse, taking a well deserved nap while she restlessly wanders about town. It’s a stupid thing to do, to approach this man instead of just leaving it be. But with It dead–– and It is dead, she can feel that, feel It’d hold on her mind gone–– she feels bold enough to do something about it. “Excuse me,” she calls down the road, speeding up her walk just so to catch up with him. “I’m sorry, do I know you from somewhere? No, I–– I mean I do know you from somewhere.”
Beep boop! It’s that time of the year! 2020 wasn’t the best, but if you receive this little message from me, it means you made my 2020 more bearable. You have been a spark of bright light during these times of uncertainty. We have made memories together, and who knows, maybe in the next year we will make many more! I wish you and your family a great Christmas, and a wonderful New Year to follow soon. ♥
