Hiiiii

Any way you can write even a little imagine or something based on this tiktok please? 🥺🙏

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8MQuGRm/

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

— “ pspspsps “

༝ฅ pairing: sylus x reader

༝ฅ content: fluff, animal transformation

༝ฅ a/n: I didn’t know if you wanted a continuation or a general imagine but this idea is cute regardless TT I hope you enjoy!

origin: 💡

Could it be a dream? A spell? A wish come true? You press your toe pads into your gums where tiny new teeth emerged. The odd pain does little to settle you into your reality. You’re small. Much smaller than you remembered.

In this foreign world, the floor stretches endlessly like a field, furniture towering like monuments. The shoes by the door resemble boats, large enough to drift in. Laces snake across the floor, coiling like dangling rope.

You pounce at it, batting and tugging it with soft claws. It’s too much fun to notice the door creak open or the pair of voices entering the room.

Luke and Kierian look around, blinking slowly like they've wandered into someone else's daydream. Kierian moves first, kneeling down. The fur along your spine bristles as you arch, tail puffed in an attempt to look bigger. But he doesn’t flinch, his hands gently reach forward like he already knows you’re harmless.

"I don't see her," Luke mutters. "Do you think the boss would mind?"

Kierian cradles you in his palms, tilting his head as he studies you. You chirp, trying to speak, to let them know you’re already here. The sound is small and squeaky, freezing the twins in place as they watch you squirm.

You’re placed in a different room. Strange scents nudge at your instincts as you investigate. You nose through the unfamiliar space, drawn toward a desk cluttered with shiny tools and neatly stacked papers. You wiggle your body, then climb up to explore.

Some items are too heavy to topple, shame. Sylus has endless patience for you, and this would’ve been a golden opportunity to test it. You curl your body around the cool steel of a pencil holder, then tumble into a tray of clips like it’s a makeshift nest.

You scatter the silver clips across the surface, swatting and chewing. One tangles between your mouth and paw just as the door opens again.

You freeze. He pauses in the doorway, a heavy sigh leaving him as he steps inside. His eyes skim over you as he shrugs off his coat and tosses aside whatever filled his hands.

"And who do you belong to?" His voice fills the room. You watch him for a moment, then resume your quarrel with the clip. He arches a brow but chuckles.

"I see you've made yourself at home," he murmurs, stepping forward. "Unfortunately, you can’t play with that."

He reaches out, cupping your head in his palm, fingers trailing from your crown to your tail. It sends a wave of heat and shivers down your spine. He’s warm, and you can’t help but lean into his touch despite the size of him.

"No collar, either," he notes, slipping the clip from your grasp. He lifts you from the desk, tucking you into the crook of his elbow. He doesn't speak again for a while. Instead, he wanders around the base, cradling you securely.

Worry flickers in his eyes, feeling your absence. You try to speak, to explain, but your voice crescendos only in frustration. He doesn’t respond, simply rubs lazy circles into your belly to quiet you. You tug at his shirt, snagging your claw on the threads. You attempting to retract, but your small, fuzzy body doesn’t respond right. He watches in silence as you fight to free yourself.

"Are you endeared?" you think bitterly, glaring. He smiles, then uses one finger to gently unhook you.

"Since your owner left you here, I suppose you’ll stay with me for the time being."

His palm rests on your head, slipping his pinky beneath your jaw, scratching an itch you didn’t know you had. Your eyes flutter shut as you tilt your head, meeting his tender gaze.

"Have you eaten, little one?"

He carries you to his bedroom and sets you gently on the polished wood of his dresser before leaving. You explore the new perspective in silence. The room is dimly lit, colored by firelight. Shadows dance over decorated walls. At the far end of the room, red eyes glare at you. You ignore them, instead padding toward a shiny object just out of reach.

When Sylus returns, he holds a small plate of cooked fish, flaked into manageable bites. He places it before you like an offering and watches quietly as you eat with dainty paws. A harsh caw splits the air from the corner. Mephisto flutters on his perch as he complains.

"Don’t be jealous," he says, without looking .

He vanishes again behind fogged glass panels, you hear water running, smell soap, the rustle of fabric. You leap down, and follow him to the warmth of his bed.

You meow only once and the bed is yours. The new terrain is wide and sunken, draped in crimson and black bedding. The sheets ripple beneath your paws, and you pause to knead at it, claws tugging gently at the weave. A red wave of energy wisps around you. It climbs up his thigh, trails toward his chest, and you follow. You paw at it instinctively, chasing it across the linen hills.

The red shimmer disappears just before you catch it. You sit tall, alert and blinking, but nothing moves. Beneath you, his chest trembles with laughter. His hand finds your back again, stroking once, then resting there. You lower yourself slowly, paws curling inward as your tail tucks close. His thumb rubs your neck as he watches you, eyes soft.

"You remind me of a very special kitten." He murmurs.

You lie curled on his chest, his heart a slow thrum beneath your paws. Kneading lazily, you rest your head against him. A low, content purr hums from your throat. The steady rise and fall of his breathing lulls you.

The world blurs between dream and reality. You melt into the heat, into the warm fuzziness as something washes over you, prickly and cool.

And then-- POOF!

Your body is noticeably heavier. You’re lying atop him, back in your normal form. You blink, disoriented, and look up. Sylus is staring back in shock. He blinks slowly, adjusting to the sudden weight of you, body still warm from the heat of your transformation and the fire flickering beside the bed.

His hand, which had rested against your fur, now presses to the curve of your back. Your skin prickles under the feel of his fingers.

"Well," he says, voice thick with amusement, "this is certainly... unexpected."

You don’t move right away. You're too stunned, caught in a web of your own thoughts. You can feel the low rumble of his chuckle beneath you.

"Did you enjoy yourself?" he asks. "You made quite the impression, sweetie. I believe you won your duel with my office supplies."

Your mouth opens, then closes. You’re not sure whether to apologize, explain, or simply roll off him and flee. You try, but he catches your wrist, pressing a firm palm to your back.

"Have you learned a new method to sneak up on me?"

"I-I… was that me?" you stammer. "That wasn’t a dream?"

He shifts to sit up fully, the motion tilting you into his lap. He studies you for a moment, eyes scanning your face, searching for an explanation you don’t have.

"I assume it was a temporary state, though I’m surprised it was a complete transformation." he murmurs thoughtfully. One hand moves to cup your jaw, his thumb grazing your cheek in a touch too tender for the amusement laced in his voice.

"And you knowingly made that mess in the other room?"

Your ears redden, flustered and caught. A quiet hum escapes him, savoring your reaction. His eyes flick down your body and back up again, slow and deliberate.

"Well," he starts, "now that you’re out of that state, how will you compensate me?"

“Compensate for what?" you ask, mocking his low, velvety tone.

"For emotional distress. For your ambush. And," he leans in, his nose brushing yours, “for how incredibly soft you were."

Your brain, still wrapped in haze, short-circuits under the weight of his gaze. You huff, scandalized, lifting a hand to his chest with mock offense. Your palm meets the steady warmth of him, stiffening your arm out to create distance. He only smiles, letting you guide him gently back against the headboard.

His fingers slide around your wrist, tracing a slow line upward. He glides over the bend of your elbow, the curve of your shoulder, and coasts down the slope of your waist.

The firelight dances across your skin, a flickering distraction from the sudden and sobering realization: your very bare, very human body has returned atop him, as though your transformation had never happened.

He exhales softly, lifting the blanket aside. The sheets whisper beneath you as you slide into the space he makes. He follows, guiding you closer with a firm hand at the small of your back.

Once settled, he drapes the blanket over your shoulder with familiar care. He pulls you to his chest, resting a hand along your spine. His lips graze your temple, lingering softly before resting against the spot. He trails gentle, deliberate kisses toward your ear, each one warm against your skin.

"You’ll have to make it up to me."

about that ask game...

👀💀💌💖💔🍓🎀🧠🌺🌞💡🧸🍀📗🧩🧶🧊💎💧🍆🪀🔮🎬🧛‍♀️

Ohh-hoo boy! My first ask about the ‘which emojis reflect how you feel about your fav fic writers and their fics’ ask, and I already got a lotta emojis! *rubs hands together* Let’s go through ‘em all, shall we? 😁😁

👀 eagerly await updates from you every day

💀 your scenes of violence grab me by the throat

💌 love your answers to other people's asks about your stories

Awww, I’m so glad you look forward to every fic and chapter update, Boma! I truly appreciate you and so many others who stick around no matter how long it takes me to update 🥰❤️ I’m so glad you enjoy my action/violent scenes! The one I wrote in “Safe and Sound” was actually my first time writing action (I visualize fight scenes in my head wayyy more than I do write them 😅). I was a little nervous writing it, but the fact that you and my other readers loved it so much makes me more confident with writing more! 😁 And thank you for the answers to my asks compliment! I try my best to respond to them in a way that expresses my gratitude and feelings good enough. A lot of them render me speechless or have me feeling and thinking so much it’s hard to respond with something more coherent than “AWWWWGJRVJGGBTF 🥺🥺” 😅😂

💖 adore literally everything you write

💔 your angst scenes ruins me every time

🍓 your fluff scenes always make me feel pleasantly blissful

Awww, thank you so much!! 🥺🥺 It warms my heart knowing you and other fan-artist moots love my fics as much as I love y’all’s art 🥹🥰 And it’s also a relief to know I’ve mastered the art of fluff and angst! The switch back and forth must feel like getting a tender kiss on the head then getting pushed into highway traffic. At least that’s how it feels to me whenever I read something with that duality 😂

🎀 you describe tender, soft intimacy wonderfully

🧠 love how your brain works and how you solve plots

🌺 you make me root for your heroes every time

The brotherly fluff and comfort I write is 100% self-indulgent, so I’m glad you enjoy it like I do writing it! 😁 “love how your brain works” Awwww staaaahp you’re makin’ me blush 🤭🤭 And what can I say? I’m a hardcore Mario Bros rooter 😁

🌞 reading your works cheers me up and makes me feel better

💡your ideas are always fresh and surprising

🧸 often go back to your old stories to re-read them

Awww this all makes me so happy! 🥺🥹 I always want to use my stories to provide needed joy and comfort to readers. And I can hardly express how happy it makes me whenever someone tells me I’ve done that for them, especially when they use the fics as pick-me-ups 🥹☺️❤️

🍀 you can describe emotions and feelings perfectly

📗 when I read your story I feel like I'm reading a book

🧩 adore how you connect different threads together

🧶 your dialogues are as if real people were talking to each other

Man, all of this is really givin’ me a confidence boost! I especially appreciate the first and last emojis, cuz believe it or not, I was pretty unsure about my uses of those techniques when I wrote my first fic. Like am I overdoing it with describing what’s going on in Mario’s head? Are the characters’ dialogues authentic to them? Are they saying too much or not enough? All that second-guessing jazz 😖 Now, I’m much more certain about how I’m portraying them! 😁

🧊 the changes your characters make don't feel forced

💎 you perfectly portray the mind and thoughts of your characters

💧there were times when I cried reading your stories

Awww, Boma, I really made you cry with my fics? 🥺🥺 Part of me kinda feels bad for making readers cry (even if it’s in a good way) but, y’know, I suppose that’s what I signed up for writing these kind of stories. And, shoot, I even made myself cry writing the final chapter of “All That I Love About You”. Who else’s there to blame for that ‘cept myself? 😅

🍆 love the way you write male characters

🪀 your stories are very easy, quick and enjoyable to read

🔮 when I think that nothing will surprise me anymore, you do it

Awww, I’m happy my fics continue to be engaging and surprising for you! And I’m glad you love my depictions of the bros and other male characters! (not a big fan of the eggplant emoji representing this compliment tho but whatever 🤷‍♀️) Anyway, I’m very surprised that people can read my fics so fast! Or maybe I’m just a slow reader. My ADHD behind cannot read, much less write, at that speed to save my own life 😅😅

🎬 love to imagine your stories as if I was watching a movie

🧛‍♀️ crave your new stories like a vampire craves blood

“Like a vampire craves blood”? Wow, that’s quite the love ya got for my new fics! But it’s that love and support that keeps me going with them! ☺️❤️ Thank you SO much for your ask, Boma! I thoroughly enjoyed learning what you think of my fics and responding to it! ❤️

we don't know yet, but how did the murder happen in your opinion ? Did tsukasa lose control over himself, or did amane longer tolerate his presence so killing him were just ideas 💡

But what are your theories???

For me it would be like crossing a limit. When Amane was teased for so many years, when he had to go through so many things to the point that he was exhausted. Maybe Tsukasa did something that triggered it.

Although, I'm still unsure whether it was premeditated. Amane decided he wasn't going anywhere, he was going to take his own life, was killing Tsukasa something he intended to do or did it happen by chance?

Hmm…..imagining the common thread, he planned Tsukasa's death and his own. Something related to a lot of suffering and pain, fire, a lot of fire. Amane wanted to kill his brother and set the house on fire.

Tsukasa said he likes the expression people make when they stop holding back, and he said he liked Amane's, so he might have lost control.

Even if it was planned, a death will always be a death, who is prepared for that?

So, I think he planned it, and lost control in the process.

I’m now halfway through The Magnus Archives’ 1st season, so I thought it would be cool to just post my thoughts on each episode so far :). (Spoilers, I like all of them, and this podcast is going to be all I care about for a while.) Also NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!

Link to Masterpost (contains all of these thought posts)

- Episode 1, Anglerfish 🚬

Statement of Nathan Watts, regarding an encounter on Old Fishmarket Close, Edinburgh.

Really strong start, not the scariest episode so far but definitely unnerving, and it gives a good first impression and layer of intrigue. While the story is simple in comparison to the later ones, it was still enjoyable, and I was just appreciating the atmosphere and framing device of the episode as well.

- Episode 2, Do Not Open ⚰️

Statement of Joshua Gillespie, regarding his time in the possession of an apparently empty wooden casket.

This is still one of my favorites. The whole time I was on edge, and this was the first episode that really kept me up at night. I went from wanting to know what was inside the coffin desperately, to wanting to stay away from it as much as possible. Joshua’s insuring dread and creative solution to his problems was fantastic, and it ends with some intriguing plot threads being set up.

- Episode 3, Across The Street 📓

Statement of Amy Patel, regarding the alleged disappearance of her acquaintance Graham Folger.

I think I share a common sentiment when I say that Amy stalking Graham was almost as creepy as the actual horror lmao. Overall I don’t have that much to say about this one, but it was very enjoyable, and I feel really bad for Graham in retrospect :(.

- Episode 4, Pageturner ��

Statement of Dominic Swain, regarding a book briefly in his possession in the winter of 2012.

I…feel like I should hold off on talking about this one for now. While it was definitely well written and creepy, it just seems to be so full of setup for future plot lines that I almost don’t feel like I can form a concise opinion on it until I really get what’s going on. Honestly, my only complaint with this episode is that maybe it’s setting up TOO much in one go, but I still had a good time with it overall.

- Episode 5, Thrown Away 🗑️

Statement of Kieran Woodward, regarding items recovered from the refuse of 93 Lancaster Road, Walthamstowe.

This one actually did a pretty good job at getting me to think about waste disposal workers lmao, I never really thought about them like that before. This one was just really creepy, but also kind of fun in a weird twisted way. It did a great job keeping me on edge as well.

- Episode 6, Squirm 🪱

Statement of Timothy Hodge, regarding his sexual encounter with Harriet Lee and her subsequent death.

I am simultaneously horrified, and unfortunately aroused by what happened here.

- Episode 7, The Piper 🔫

Statement of Staff Sgt. Clarence Berry, regarding his time serving with Wilfred Owen in the Great War.

Having an episode set nearly 100 years ago is a really fun idea, and it’s executed perfectly here. It was interesting how it also featured a real person, and I liked how the paranormal activity felt more metaphorical here, it really did feel like it was showcasing the horror of war.

- Episode 8, Burned Out 🌳

Statement of Ivo Lensik, regarding his experiences during the construction of a house on Hill Top Road, Oxford.

I found this one to be very nerve-wracking, since not only was the whole scenario with the tree just, like…three creepy things happening at once, but the fact that the statement was given by someone with schizophrenia did a good job making me question it’s validity, even though I’m certain it’s true after listening to a later statement. I also hope that I get to see how the history of the house is unveiled in the future.

- Episode 9, A Father’s Love 💡

Statement of Julia Montauk, regarding the actions and motivations of her father, the serial killer Robert Montauk.

This one made me feel really sad :(. I really felt Julia’s despair in this one (Jonathan Sims does such great voice acting for every statement btw, both the character and the actual person), and I was even more saddened by the implications of why Robert did what he did. If my assumptions are correct, then…SCREW THE MOTHER! It was also the first one that got me thinking about where exactly all of the paranormal stuff comes from, and later episodes only add to my theory that it’s all due to demons/cults/higher powers.

- Episode 10, Vampire Killer 🧛🏻

Statement of Trevor Herbert, regarding his life as a self-proclaimed vampire hunter.

Much like Episode 8, this one did a really good job at making me question the validity of the statement, although I became more sure of its truth a bit earlier. I also just love how nonchalant Trevor comes off as, compared to all of the other traumatized horror victims. (Also, I’m guessing that the name Trevor and the episode title are meant to be a Castlevania reference?) While vampires aren’t the most creative thing for an episode, at least in comparison to everything else, the beast-like execution here more than made up for it in my opinion.

- Episode 11, Dreamer 💭

Statement of Antonio Blake, regarding his recent dreams about Gertrude Robinson, previous Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute.

Yeah…Gertrude Robinson did not die a normal death. My guess is that she was caught by ✨the horrors✨, but I’ll wait and see. This was another very tense episode, with the prophetic dream world being really, REALLY creepy. I do hope we get to see more of “Antonio” in the future, as I think he could be quite important. (I also hope he gets punched for DUMPING GRAHAM IN HIS TIME OF NEED-)

- Episode 12, First Aid 🏥

Statement of Lesere Saraki, regarding a recent night-shift at St. Thomas Hospital, London.

OMG GERARD KEAY HI HI HI HI HOW ARE YOU!!! Yeah I audibly gasped when he showed up again, it was such a cool moment. Anyways, hospitals already creep me the fuck out so this was pretty effective. Definitely some great setup here, and it helped to make a bit more sense of Pageturner, now that I have a better idea of what Gerard’s whole deal is. It also added some good fuel to the whole cult idea, and my god this poor nurse. Having to deal with all of this in a single night sounds like hell.

- Episode 13, Alone 🌫️

Statement of Naomi Herne, regarding the events following the funeral of her fiancé, Evan Lukas. Statement taken direct from subject.

Having a new voice in this episode was really cool, and Katie Davison did an excellent job as Naomi! It was also cool to see how Jon interacts with other people, he was…nicer than expected. This episode honestly felt like it was calling me out, as I am also someone who’s confident in my independence, but if I was in Naomi’s place I would also probably be scared shitless. I really hope she’ll get a happy ending :(. Also, The Lukas family is quite intriguing, especially since we now know they have a connection to The Institute…

- Episode 14, Piecemeal 👆

Statement of Lee Rentoul, regarding the murder of his associate Paul Noriega.

Firstly, this is probably my favorite of Jon’s vocal deliveries. His performance of Lee Rentoul just feels perfect. (Once again, this applies to both the writer and the character, I’m genuinely convinced the latter is an ex-theatre kid.) Outside of that, THIS ONE CREEPED ME OUT. The body horror was very effective, with the only thing holding it back being the fact that Lee isn’t the most likable protagonist in the podcast, but if this happened to someone else I’d be even more upset. Still though, it was a very creative concept, and the whole vibe and execution of the episode made it great.

- Episode 15, Lost Johns’ Cave 🕯️

Statement of Laura Popham, regarding her experience exploring the Three Counties System of caves with her sister Alena Sanderson.

What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fuck. What the fu-

- Episode 16, Arachnophobia 🕷️

Statement of Carlos Vittery, regarding his arachnophobia and its manifestations.

The way they tackled the concept in the title was really well done. Arachnophobia is seen as an irrational fear by a lot of people, so having it portrayed as an effect of childhood trauma was a good call. And as someone who is not arachnophobic, this episode got me close to feeling that way. What ever force was making Carlos relive his trauma is a sick fuck. Also the cat was a real one, glad he survived the whole situation. (Also THE WORMS, HOLY SHIT IT’S THE SEX WORMS!!!)

- Episode 17, The Boneturner’s Tale 🦴

Statement of Sebastian Adekoya, regarding a new acquisition at Chiswick Library.

This episode really compelled me to get out the rubber bands connecting images lmao. I really liked all of the connections to past statements here, like the presence of another book from the library of Jurgen Leitner, to the mention of Micheal Crew. The body horror here was once again very creepy, (outside of the flat rat, that was morbidly funny), but my favorite part of the episode was the introduction of Elias, which was a humorous, but also very intriguing scene. Also, the themes of books containing power was great as well. Great stuff all around.

- Episode 18, The Man Upstairs 🥩

Statement of Christof Rudenko, regarding his interactions with a first floor resident of Welbeck House, Wandsworth.

…ew. Ok in all seriousness, this is probably my least favorite episode so far. Still very far from bad, but after all of the extremely interesting themes and plot threads, having an episode where the idea was just “What if a guy had a house covered in meat? Wouldn’t that be fucked up?”, felt just a little bit underwhelming. Which like, the fact that my least favorite episode’s biggest problem is that I find it slightly pales in comparison to previous ones is just a testament to how much I’ve been enjoying the podcast. Still though, there were definitely a few things I really liked. The reveal of the room was creepy (especially considering the meat that seemed…alive…), and as someone who has had to deal with upstairs neighbors making noise for hours during construction, this episode definitely scared me.

- Episode 19, Confession, and Episode 20, Desecrated Host ✝️

Statement of Father Edwin Burroughs, regarding his claimed demonic possession.

This, alongside Lost Johns’ Cave, was one (or I guess, two…) of those episodes that seriously fucked me up. While I am not religious, I have always had fears of how religion can negatively affect me and the people around me, despite the good that it seems to do for so many people. So seeing Edwin be charged for every “sin” he committed by a higher power that wishes to steal its faith, and then not get judged by it, but by the people around him for his one true sin, was absolutely haunting, and I hope he turns out ok in the end. Outside of the horror, the episodes were fantastic. Listening to the events of Episode 8 from Edwin’s perspective, and seeing how Ivo’s actions saved him, was really cool, and solidifies in my mind that Ivo’s experience was real. The connections to demonic magic and Latin script thickened, and it was overall just a great mid-season finale. In conclusion, I hope that Martin feels better soon, and if he isn’t actually sick and is being plagued by ✨the horrors✨, well then I hope he survives :).

Thank you for reading my silly little thoughts if you’ve made it this far, it really means a lot to me :). I’ll probably update this every time I finish half of a season, so hopefully my thoughts on episodes 21-40 will be here in the Reblogs soon. :)

🙂 How are you, mun?

Right now I'm doing alright, thank you. Slowly trying to work through a backlog of old threads while indulging my current Hermes kick - so there's a back and forth there of getting things done.

💡 I have a plot idea for our muses

MANY- And though I am slow, I am happy to back and forth about them, even if we never write them all as threads it's cool to have background ideas discussed for things going on!

🤩 I WANT TO WRITE EVERYTHING WITH YOU

HELL YEAH. I can't say I'm a fan of all the genres anyway ahahaha but I'm down to write many of the THINGS.

yeah nah yeah you can't be normal about anything after doing 3.5 years of literary analysis straight so half the time my brain's just 💡 morse code signaling SOS to the sky

but i love stumbling into parallels between mal and astarion that don't always show up at first glance

both of them had any budding wisps of empathy and humanity brutally ripped out before they had a chance to take root and grow. even though such 'lessons' came from entirely different sources and motivations, they were very deliberate and similar in execution.

for astarion, the defining moment was sparing that innocent man from a terrible fate. his one act of selflessness was then repaid with a year of being sealed in a tomb. then add years and years of physical and psychological torture on top of that and it's like weaving a fabric, loop by loop, reinforcing that very same lesson. of course, the event doesn't live in isolation, considering cazador's bigger plan, but the underlying current is that all of that experience is carefully constructed to strip a person of their humanity, of compassion, and, at the end of the line, their personhood. cazador molds his spawn to be what he wants them to be. any transgression is met with punishment.

for maleane, it all started with the departure of her father. it was a gradual shift in tone, the way selfishness was injected word by word, action by action, and then reinforced with praise. of course, a child wants to hear that their mother is proud of them. they don't want to be called weak and pathetic. they want to make their parent proud. even if there's hesitation. a pause. even when it doesn't sit right. and all of that hinges on a single moment. of that childish want to prove themselves. to show that they can think for themselves. that their ideas are not wrong!

and where astarion refused to bring someone to cazador, maleane brought a child to a'sherra. it was a friend. she wanted to show her mother that the outsiders are not so bad. look, mother, he gave me a gift! a small horse carved out of wood hiding a toothy smile. but the look in her mother's face was not that of pride. it was the opposite. mal didn't even have enough time to attempt to utter an explanation. a'sherra slit the child's throat without exchanging a single word. stupid little girl. it was the last time maleane questioned her mother's lessons. and so, the little girl was molded in her mother's image.

and when both astarion and maleane are tossed into the absolute chaos post-nautiloid, they both cling to those lessons. they're selfish and manipulative and devoid of empathy. they're doing everything to save their own skins. and they are doing that by relying on what's been hammered into them.

and, i guess, that's what i find so endearing about their journey. it's finding those long-lost shreds of humanity, of empathy, like some dried flowers they pressed under a shard of glass and buried beneath a handful of dirt somewhere in the forest. they don't remember where or under which tree. but the image of those petals still lingers.

they can never return to that spot. they can never continue the thread that's been torn. but maybe they can find new flowers that resemble the old ones at least a little bit. ah, don't you know i love hope?
