malik is like. a kaiba level genius right. I think he is one of those infuriating people who are automatically amazing at every academic subject. he doesn’t think it’s that weird what do you mean learning Japanese is hard. he picked it up in a couple months. if you put him in a normal school he would run the snacks and duel monsters cards black market with an iron fist constantly correct the teacher and graduate top of the class. rather than his emotions problems disorders being in spite of this they are closely interlinked

there’s our fucking guy

“  are  you  okay?  “

beneath  the  heat  of  the  afternoon  sunlight  malik  found  himself  watching  as  a  family  moved  among  the  crowded  market  picking  from  stalls  essential  vegetables  and  fruits  and  sweetened  treats  and  novelty  trinkets.  beneath  the  sun  they  moved  with  a  clumsy  familiarity,  a  routine  their  bodies  seemed  to  have  memorised  even  as  their  eyes  wandered  or  their  words  tangled  in  the  excitement  of  being  out  in  the  world.

          their  awareness  of  each  other  was  almost  careless.  they  were  so  accustomed  to  and  certain  of  the  others  presence  that  they  neither  had  to  see  each  other  nor  reach  for  each  other  to  know  that  they  were  there.  malik  watched  them  with  an  uncomfortable  melancholy.  a  mourning  that  sickened  him  for  a  life  that  was  beyond  his  own.  to  spend  days  on  the  surface,  beneath  the  sun,  to  be  so  certain that  his  family  would  be  there  within  his  reach  if  he  every  needed  them.

          malik  startled  suddenly,  lavender  gaze  blinking  rapidly  as  he  met  the  eye  of  the  daughter.  standing  abruptly,  something  akin  to  embarrassment  flooded through  him.  malik  was  quick  to  smile,  to  soften  his  features  and  appear  harmless.  instinct  forcing  him  to  react  with  platitudes.  ❝  yes,  of  course!  ❞  malik  said  quickly,  ❝  i  was  just  daydreaming,  i'm  sorry,  did  you  need  something?  ❞ // @kaigome

“  are  you  okay?  “

malik  understood  more  than  most  that  the  world  was  a  fragile  and  breakable  thing.  he  understood  that  it  took  only  one  moment,  one  choice,  one  action,  to  send  the  world  crumbling  into  an  empty  abyss.  her  voice  was  soft,  a  gentle  light  in  the  dark  and  yet  malik  reacted  to  it  as  if  it  burned,  snatching  his  arm  away  from  her  as  lavender  gaze  narrowed  with  disdain.

          ❝  don't  touch  me,  ❞  malik  snapped  harshly.  whatever  she  was,  she  belonged  neither  to  the  here  and  now  or  the  present  and  future.  she  was  a  between  thing,  neither  living  nor  dead  but  something  else  beyond  the  realm  of  their  knowing  and  for  that,  malik  knew  he  hated  her.  hated  that  she  was  separate  from  the  fragile  and  breakable  thing  that  he  had  been  forced  to  exist  within.

          ❝  find  someone  else  to  pity  and  save,  ❞  malik  sneered,  straightening  to  his  fullest  height,  ❝  you're  not  needed  here,  ❞ // @darkburning

in a post-battle city / post-canon context, is malik genuinely attempting to reform himself, or is this just a front for the sake of isis and rishid?

malik  is  genuinely  attempting  to  reform  but  he's  still  in  the  process  of  determining  what  this  looks  like  and  what  this  means  for  him.  while  his  main  motivation  to  reform  is  because  he  wants  to  be  someone  deserving  of  isis  and  rishid's  forgiveness  and  companionship,  malik's  innocence  is  gone  and  has  been  gone  for  a  long  time.  he  is  no  longer  the  kind  or  gentle  boy  that  he  once  was  and  he  has  formulated  a  personality  with  values  and  beliefs  that  are  engrained  into  who  he  is  now,  these  are  fundamental  and  he  has  no  interest  in  changing  these  aspects  of  himself.

what  this  might  look  like  is  that  malik  is  most  likely  to  be  civil  with  those  around  him,  he  may  be  snarky,  sarcastic,  rude  or  otherwise  unfriendly  but  he  has  no  intention  of  being  malicious  or  antagonistic  unless  he  is  provoked  or  threatened  first.

malik  is  trying  to  be  a  better  person.  for  the  most  part  this  only  means  that  he  is  now  more  or  less  on  the  side  of  the  "good  guys",  not  that  he  himself  is  a  good  person  or  that  he  does  "good  things".  he  is  still  every  bit  as  malicious,  cunning, conniving,  manipulative,  cruel,  and  sadistic  as  he  has  been  in  the  past.

𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐑𝐌𝐎𝐑 𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐒.

i rewatched the etern.als. and then i got thinkin. and now you guys are on the receiving end of more protective prompts, but these little beauties are aimed more for the act of actually saving a life! bon appetit!

DIALOGUE PROMPTS.

“ what the hell were you thinking?! you could’ve been killed! “

“ hey! get away from them! “

“ if you wanna hurt them, you’re going to have to get through me, first. “

“ you underestimate how much you mean to me. i wasn’t about to let them hurt you. and i certainly wasn’t about to let them even consider killing you. “

“ i told you before. i’m not gonna let anything in this world nor the next harm you. “

“ you need to get out of here! go! i’ll buy you some more time! “

“ what are you doing?! i told you, get out of here! now! “

“ get it through your head, i’m not gonna just leave you here! “

“ now’s not the time to play the martyr, got it? you’ve got a good long life ahead of you, and i intend to keep it that way. “

“ you need to go now, okay? don’t worry. i’ve got this. they’ll want to be trying a lot harder if they want to keep me from protecting you. “

“ don’t worry about me; are YOU okay? “

“ damnit, [NAME]! i TOLD you not to play the hero! “

“ i can look after myself, you know. but… i do appreciate you stepping in back there. you saved my life. “

“ why are you so invested in keeping me alive? “

“ that was for saving my life. “

“ it’s alright, they’re gone now… are you alright? hey, look at me; are you hurt at all? “

“ are you insane?! run! “

“ were you preoccupied, or did you just really want a dramatic heroic entrance before you saved my ass? “

“ are you okay? “

“ yeah, yeah, i’m okay… are you okay? “

“ hey! why don’t you try picking on someone your own size! “

“ hurry! take my hand! “

“ get in the car! now! “

“ i’m sorry i was late… are you alright? they didn’t hurt you too badly, did they? “

ACTION PROMPTS.

add a “+ REVERSE” to switch the roles around!

[ SHIELD ]:     sender uses their own body to shield the receiver from an attack.

[ EMBRACE ]:     sender quickly wraps the receiver in a protective hug and turns so the sender’s back might take on the brunt of an on-coming attack.

[ SHOVE ]:     seeing the receiver is in immediate danger, the sender runs to them and shoves them out of the line of fire.

[ YANK ]:     seeing the receiver is in immediate danger, the sender hastily grabs them and pulls them against them, out of harm’s way.

[ TACKLE ]:     sender physically tackles the receiver out of the line of fire.

[ THROW ]:     sender throws themselves between the receiver and an on-coming attack, taking on an injury that might have been fatal to the receiver otherwise.

[ DISTRACT ]:     sender causes a distraction to draw the receiver’s attacker/s away from them.

[ FIGHT ]:     just as the receiver is about to be attacked, the sender arrives suddenly and begins to physically fight off their assailant.

[ CATCH ]:     sender manages to intervene and catch the falling receiver before they fall to their death.

[ SACRIFICE ]:     sender sacrifices themselves, either fatally or otherwise, in order to save the receiver’s life.

[ HIDE ]:     sender quickly pulls the receiver into a hiding place, hiding them from their pursuers.

[ KILL ]:     sender, seeing the receiver in immediate and intentionally fatal danger, intervenes by killing their assailant before they can kill the receiver.

[ INCAPACITATE ]:     sender, seeing the receiver in immediate danger, intervenes by knocking out their assailant before they can harm the receiver.

[ AFAR ]:     sender, having been watching the receiver’s interactions with a threat from afar, saves them from an impending attack while remaining distant from them.

[ SECRET ]:     sender, having been secretly following the receiver, saves their life from an immediate threat while remaining hidden from the receiver.

[ REVEALED ]:     sender, having been secretly following the receiver, reveals themselves in the process of saving the receiver’s life from an unexpected threat.

[ REUNION ]:     after spending a considerable length of time apart, the sender reunites with the receiver after saving their life from an immediate and potentially lethal threat.

[ KISS ]:     after having been saved from immediate danger by the receiver, the sender, in a state of intense emotion and relief, kisses them to express these feelings.

[ HUG ]:     sender, having just saved the receiver’s life, pulls them into a tight hug out of relief and a need to steady and support both themselves and the receiver.

psa: while i'm still getting my characterisation for malik down, this won't be a linear account. this means i hop between seasons and arcs depending on vibes (or plotting).

life  wasn't  fair,  and  no  one  got  what  they  deserved.  malik  had  spent  the  better  half  of  his  life  trapped  underground,  surrounded  by  mosaics  of  societies  that  had  been  long  dead  centuries  over.  born  into  a  life  enslaved  by  tradition,  adored  for  all  the  wrong  reasons  and  forced  to  play  keeper  in  the  dark.  fairness  was  a  fairytale  and  only  fools  believed  otherwise.  the  only  way  to  survive  in  this  world  was  to  take  what  you  could  and  give  nothing  back.

" life's not fucking fair to anyone, you know?"

the bitterness, the grugdge in her voice, they are thick like the trickling of blood she remembers spiraling down his throat when his head was chopped off during their game. she sees it still, in her nightmares, the way that fucker would smile like he was getting off on the very idea of her fear.

she will never get that image out of her mind. or the feeling of high voltage breaking through her muscles, or the bugs gnawing at her flesh.

" i, for one, had hoped you'd gone back to your egypt cave and shot yourself in the head, @takhalaa " and only 'cause she couldn't have done it herself - vengeance is a scalding meal, too hot to swallow in one go, " but here we are again. so, life's not fair to anyone, and i hope you know, " voice trembles into a breathy whisper, an involuntary reaction to looking directly into his eyes, taking one single step closer and smelling the scent around him. he's still wearing the same cologne, or the stench is too impregnated into her memory, " that the only reason why i haven't clawed your eyes out with my nails is because we're in a public venue. "
