top 3 fluffiest mallesil headcanons <3
omg...why is this so hard....
Carrying. I want nrc students to be seeing Mal carrying Silver around on a daily basis. princess carry, obviously...Mal has like a silver-sense and always seems to know when he's sleeping somewhere. Instead of waking Silver he'll pick him up and carry him back to diasomnia, often to mal's bed ;) the first few times getting picked up would wake silver but after a while he's completely used to it. Maybe his eyes flutter awake and he offers Mal a sleepy little smile before immediately passing back out. I imagine when sebek finds him he always goes for the sack of potatoes carry, so this is a lot more romantic
In my mind, mal is just as obsessed with silver's fairy gala fit as I am. He saw silver dressed in all white, those flowers braided into his hair with that delicate makeup and fell in love all over again. After that he'll take any opportunity to offer Silver flowers (always with very intentional meanings because mal can't do anything halfway), usually to tuck into his hair, silver keeps every one and uses magic to make them live longer...
on the note of white and flowers i have a bit of an arranged marriage wip happening and i thought a lot about the actual wedding...even though everything else would be dark shades of black and green and purple silver would be in allll white and he's just the prettiest thing malleus has ever seen, he looks like a real fairy or even an angel!!
I think Silver loves grooming mal. Combing his hair, cleaning him in the bath, filing his nails, fixing his makeup, everything like that. he absolutely does not give himself the same effort (Silver is the most low-effort beauty, its the princess genes). Even though mal says he doesn't have to, silver loves it so much, its his personal little duty.
Silver get so awkward when Mal reciprocates though, he can't handle malleus doing things for HIM, it gets him so embarrassed that his prince is stooping to washing a human's hair...which makes mal want to do it more! they would be so gross in the bath together, just mal lovingly lathering soap into silvers back or Silver combing conditioner and scented oils through mal's hair until its perfectly shiny and smooth...god...
Love your sweet comments <3 nice to see you on retrospring! Coming up with some mallesil question hmm... Any horror tropes you think would be fun to apply to them?
Hi! Thanks for having me!!!
Also damn that's a hard question...honestly what horror tropes WOULDN'T I apply to mallesil....but some of the ones I want to write the most would be:
Cannibalism/vore, nothing gets me like consumption as a form of love and I think it fits Malleus very well...whether this happens literally or metaphorically, it is the ultimate endpoint of mutual obsession you know? Silver willingly gives himself to malleus is every possible way, so it's practically inevitable. It starts small- Malleus is definitely a biter, and he loves lapping up the spilled blood and of course in turn silver gets unbelievably turned on by seeing himself on mal's lips, its a form of affirmation that even him, a nobody human is worthy of being desired on such a primal level. Eventually mal cant help himself but to keep consuming, to make Silver his so wholly...when Silver dies (possibly at mal's hands/teeth if we want to get really morbid) what else is mal to do but finish the job?
Literally everything going on with 7-3 im not fucking kidding trapping a character in a mindscape is one of my all-time favorite trope....silver can try all he wants to escape the dream world but mal is just one step ahead, always showing up after Silver exhausts himself, constantly pushing him deeper into the dream, alternating between ideal happy fantasies and inescapable nightmares, until silver has given up entirely, submitting to anything mal wants and of course he gets to live forever in a wonderful happy dream, surrounded by his imaginary family and his loving prince, completely mindbroken...
Cosmic horror/human sacrifices, just imagine malleus' true form being giant, monstrous and incomprehensible and of course he's alone, perhaps lilia as his only companion, he has no hope for love in a natural way so he demands sacrifices, keeps them around, maybe fucking them, maybe eating them, maybe just trying to bond with them until their minds break or they kill themselves. by chance the next one is young human, the beloved second prince of a kingdom under malleus' control, beautiful and innocent and groomed to be an offering to protect the rest of the people. but instead of being afraid of malleus, he's charmed, he sees another person who is alone just like him. Maybe he falls in love and malleus loves him back in his own way. Of course, a human cannot love a monster the way a monster loves back, but he willingly takes whatever malleus offers, no matter what that entails
demon mal...posession...haunting...leading silver into sin, especially if we take this in a religious context because my biggest crime is that i 100% will sexualize catholic imagery (when I go back to Italy the pope will probably personally smite me) and the angel/demon dichotomy fits mallesil aesthetically soooo well??
I could definitely keep going but this is long enough as is good lord
