Time to take her home

Her dizzy head is conscience laden

Time to take a ride, it leaves today

No conversation

Time to take her home

Her dizzy head is conscience laden

Time to wait too long, to wait too long

To wait too long

help i’m DYING to talk abt felix+malkar... in corambis felix mentions learning to read from broadsheets - i always imagined malkar taught him to read - tho i guess he’s smart enough to have mostly taught himself - it’s hard to imagine malkar as a very involved teacher - do you think he would set felix up with material and then leave him to teach himself? was felix alone a lot during those years - or was he always with malkar because of the binding, like how mildmay has to always be with felix?

Can I just say that I love that I’m getting Doctrine of Labyrinths asks now?

I think Malkar was actually very involved in Felix’s education. After all, he’s very invested in the idea of Felix being able to pass for respectable such that he can become a Cabaline wizard, and therefore be positioned where Malkar needs him to be. I think he’d be very demanding, very exacting, and expect Felix to pick things up fast - which he’s capable of doing, especially since there are consequences when he doesn’t. 

I think of Malkar during this period of time keeping a pretty tight leash and control over most aspects of Felix’s life, because conditioning him appropriately requires it, and because it’s a good way to keep his control not just over Felix’s life but over Felix himself. 

Though of course it’s a balancing act, too - he wants Felix dependent, but not too dependent, not so much that he doesn’t or can’t think for himself or act on his own. Submission but not servility. That means pulling back sometimes, giving Felix a little bit of rein and at least seeming independence (though of course Malkar always has the obligation d’sang to pull him back in if need be). It means leaving Felix to his own devices sometimes, but only after he’s certain that Felix won’t do anything that Malkar wouldn’t like.

Of course it’s not all horrible, and Malkar uses kindness too, or at least praise, accompanied by the reminder that it’s not like anyone else would do this for him, Felix owes Malkar, yes, but Malkar is doing all of this for Felix so he can have a better life, do better, be better. 

It’s not like anyone else would bother with a whore from Pharoahlight. He’s just nice like that.

I hope you can take some time to relax and take a break from this fandom when you need to. This space shouldn’t be exhausting or stress-inducing, and it’s awful that the SW fandom has made you feel this way. Please know you’re appreciated, your meta, your humor and just your presence in and of itself, but your well-being always, always comes first.

Awww, thank you guys <3

Huh...audio just cut out. That was weird.

Space program?

Was that Buzz Aldrin? I guess?

“An amazing quality of life for all of our citizens is within reach.”

Ooooooh.

Top five: Plaid Dad Bachelor Pad, well-researched meta, Snakeparents, excellent taste in music, and an unhealthy obsession with the Riverdale riots (which someday someone will write a fic about and we’ll all read and be happy)

Chisel this on my tombstone and I can die happy. <3
