may i request borscht recipy? i wanna try more food with beets 👀

oh shoot sorry i never saw the ask! yeah sure!!!

-i use apple cider vinegar, only 1 cup of water, and I don't bother with the ice cubes bc it's no longer 1948 and I own a fridge

-i use tinned beets and just use a slapchop/mince them and the cucumbers bc i like a bit of crunch

i don't bother with those last two things (layer of cukes and toast) i just put some in a little bowl and eat it like a soup

ok ok ok ok ok MAYBE IM CRAZY. it's entirely possible that I'm deluding myself. was alia dead when they left her? was she for sure not breathing pulse stopped dead? bc i am. I had a crazy thought what if she's in there fighting the dreams. what if she knows what's happening to her-- of course she does!! she knows everything-- what IF WHAT IF SHE'S STILL FIGHTING TO LIVE. what if she's taking that bit of agency she survived long enough to grasp and fighting for it. saying you don't get to decide whether my life is worth living. saying yes they did terrible things to me. no I did not choose to be this. but this is WHO I BECAME and I take pride in it !!

tbh it never seemed to me that she resented her life, and maybe that's because we just didn't hear a ton from her, but i hope against everything that she's tearing lilith a new one for deciding her life was better over than continuing

LIKE !! we know that lilith appears in the dreams she sends. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE *shredding rubber with my bare teeth*

yesssss!!! YEEESSSSS!!! I mean. when they left her Arthur did explicitly say they were leaving the rest of their supplies with her in case she woke up again and needed them and like. maybe that was just wishful thinking on his part, a way to soften the blow of having to leave her. but what if it WASN’T… what if she is FIGHTING her gentle end, saying you do not get to decide for me if my life is worth living!!

agree also that I don’t think Alia does actually resent her life. I think it’s not for nothing that she was the one to finally clearly articulate that theme that is so central to malev to me, that, “maybe the suffering is vast, maybe there is no reward waiting for us, maybe there is no destination safe enough, but I am choosing to continue anyway, because the point of this journey is not its eventual end.” so yeah I think Lillith was… largely projecting and assuming she knew what Alia felt, actually. Alia accepted the dream bc she Saw that it was the necessary next step, but that doesn’t mean she wanted it.

Alia seems to me like someone who can appear very passive at times, bc a lot of the standard avenues of expression have been taken from her, and also the connection to her vanguard probably takes at least some of her focus, but she’s not actually passive. she seems to be the orchestrator behind pretty much this whole quest, and has commanded the implicit faith of everyone around her. and we know for a fact that her vanguard can’t directly influence her anymore, and still she is making the active choice over and over to fight for reality, even when the odds seem overwhelming. that sure doesn’t say resentment or exhaustion with life to me.

anyway. yeah. Alia meeting up with Lillith and giving her the dressing-down of all time writing so fast she sets the slate on fire. 2k25.

DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE ON TUMBLR!!! just wanted to let you know that your Killing Kind animatic is my all-time favorite. i play the thing on loop. also your bog is gorgeous but i don't think theres a follow button in it on desktop 😅

i've always been here ... and i feel like i always will be lol. but thank you so much for the kind words!!

I didn't realize that about the buttons tho, I feel like most people these days just look at the blog preview that comes up on the dashboard ... or at least that's what I do :')

so like it's the tipping point of whether alia can convince lilith that the trauma they've been subjected to can't be allowed to define them and they get to take pride in who they are to spite how they got there. OR whether lilith is more convincing with the FUCK BEING A PERFECT VICTIM WE SHOULD KILL OUR ABUSERS. TIME TO MAKE IT EVERYONE'S PROBLEM which are both perfectly valid approaches and also satisfying in wildly different directions. and also both require lilith learning to respect alia as both an equal AND an ally in their respective revenge quests <3

(wrt this)

>:3 !!! YESSS lillith alia debate time... lillith recognizing that she doesn't inherently get to make alia's choices for her either... girls teamup... YESSSS...

it feels like two sides of the same coin to me tbh which is extremely fitting. "i'm reclaiming my agency from my abusers (by putting them behind me and making myself into something new that i can take pride in)" vs "i'm reclaiming my agency from my abusers (by going crazy murder mode on them)" both very good both great ideas tbh
