MHYK MS2 SPOILERS BELOW

I finished ms2 like. weeks ago. but holy shit it's still haunting me i have so many thoughts about it like:

IT ENDS LIKE THAT???? CLIFFHANGER AHH💀💀

owen constantly provoking cain to "leave his knight-like/knighthood" and cain going "aight bet" then owen legitimately crashing out when he saw cain doing Whatever at the western country???? Chat this is actual peak.

also owen holds So Much Affection for cain. not speaking as a caiowe shipper right now but i'm speaking like in an analysis way. he refuses to admit it out loud but he constantly, without fail, puts his trust on cain's attitude and character. (See: the lennox vs cain discussion wherein owen was literally the only one who said cain would win over lennox LMFAO) (Speaking as a caiowe shipper: HO THIS GAY AHHHH)

i seriously love the oz and arthur discussion at the later chapters🥲 arthur Really, REALLY needed to hear those words come out from oz himself, and oz really needed to tell his feelings to arthur. they're so father and son🥹 (See: Screenshot below ↓)

also arthur and owen interactions were so cute

FUCKKKK MY EASTIES😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔 I NEARLY SHAT MY PANTS WHEN NERO WAS ON THE BRINK OF DEATH AND BRAD FOUND HIM (brad going "now tell me who did this to you" LIKE? this wizard yaoi shit serious, i'm out!)

oughhh but easties in general,,,,, i love their dynamic so so much they're my favorite country🥹🥹 faust cares so much for his students and vice versa!!!! aghhh this entire convo of faust and shino just made me genuinely so emotional. THEY'VE TRULY COME SO FAR. AHHHH

Figaro will die soon

i did not expect mitile to actually eat the stone but wow!!!!!! i mean it's expected but i was still surprised :O

rustica bride reveal... Ho that lore drop crazy

lenofigafau......... Guys... GUYSSSSSSS i have so much to say about them but i feel i need to write that in an actual Document instead of a tumblr post like it's that serious

Can i come out as a figaoz supporter

the current progression of main sto is so interesting!!! super curious to see how everything else will play out (Example: Nova, Easties finding out about Nero's past, the prophecies about Arthur and Mitile, etc.)

speaking of prophecies. MANNNN oz really loves arthur so much he tried to change fate so he dies instead of him but it still didn't work out dufkehfidhj

Also! i did NOT expect arthur to actually make a promise like holy shit. that was peak. and for chloe too weurygsgshg i know chloe wouldn't pull any bad shit but wow!!!! just thinking about the Gravity of the situation is so surprising

i need more shymurr lore....... + the fact that ms2 is mainly set in the west is vv interesting i want to know more about the world building especially in thr west

rutile🥹🥹 ashekdjd i long for angst i wonder how he'll react once he figures out mitile's prophecy.... i also want to see more of him in Action. like can he please punch mithra.

the twins are always so ominous lol i wonder if their prophecies now (the ones about arthur and mitile) would actually come true or not🤔 well everyone did kept on saying that their prophecies are always right but seeing how oz is trying to play with arthur's fate while mithra is unknowingly messing with? or confusing? mitle's fate, maybe something could not go in the way they expected? IDK

i absolutely love how riquet is always direct. he talked some sense into oz like yeah kid tell that 2000 year old man about how he should talk to his 17 year old son!!!!

Ok i think that's all for now. i'll add more when i'm not in a rush LOL

Do you ever look at this?

And see this?

And doesn’t it just make you want to go like this?

Sebek, you know what to do.

No because what is this endless cycle of “I can love them but they can’t love me?”

I know I talked about their self-hatred a bit here.

I know the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree but this is ridiculous??

Always seeing it as a lens of giving to others but not recieving.

Lilia -> hatches Malleus and wakes Silver but runs away from them.

Malleus -> wants to make Lilia proud and helps raise Silver but doesn’t see the happiness his birth brought and calls himself useless in front of Silver who took comfort in him enough to be vulnerable with him.

Silver -> loves Lilia and Malleus but believes he doesn’t deserve that love given his heritage.

Sebek is out here just: 🧍‍♂️ “I’m surrounded by idiots”

It’s just so frustrating?? I know there’s learned habits of love but it’s ridiculous when you have learned habits of sacrifice too.

Because if you are always thinking about love this way, aren’t you diminishing the love given to you?

In return, does that not continue this cycle? That we see? Over and over? Because you are not receiving it as was intended hence the one who gives it to you freely…feels it’s not enough. Will never be enough. So they try harder and feel this self-depreciation because of it.

When that is not true!! It is enough! Always enough!! Ahhhhhh *hugs Sebek* 😭😭😭

(There are many more moments that show this cycle between the three but I chose these moments because they are the most well known and tumblr 10 limit image on the app my beloathed.)

"People who criticize svsss just sound like shen yuan" is wonderful but also did you know anyone who writes ooc fanfiction also just sounds like Luo binghe??

Some fanfic: Luo Binghe's perverted shizun can't hold his attraction back anymore and forces himself on his helpless young disciple!

Me: Binghe wrote this. *keeps scrolling down ao3*

my friend did the osaka bang when we were in osaka and kags is literally my reaction

How To Write Best Friends to Lovers

Credits to @/michael.bjork on TikTok

Transcript:

“Any advice on how to write friends to lovers without it feeling forced?” If you want to transition from best friends to lovers, the first thing you have to establish is what has kept them from being lovers until this point. Because that's why a lot of people don't find friends to lovers believable because they sit there a wonder, "You two have been interacting for years, you're both attractive, and you both seem to have crushes on each other and you have not acted upon this at all. Why not?"

The second thing you need to do for a best friends to lovers relationship, you need to figure out what the trigger is that's gonna make them start seeing each other that way or to start acting upon the feelings they have because, once again, they have been friends for a long time so what is happening right now that is making this the moment where they chose to come closer and act upon their feelings”

Summary:

“Silver and Lilia seem to have a really close bond,” Riddle notes. Before Riddle opens his mouth to speak again, his eyes meet with Malleus, who chuckles once more, but now, it just sounded like he was holding in a laugh.

“Yes,” replies Malleus, glancing back to the spirited duo afar: Silver talking animatedly while Lilia listens, interjecting a few comments energetically. A small, soft smile forms on Malleus. “Indeed, they do seem extremely close.”

Lilia and Silver's oddly familial bond through the eyes of Night Raven College students.

i forgot to promo this on tumblr so here it is!!!! even if it's been. three months since i posted this fic oops. i just love lilia and silver and their silly yet heartwrenching father-son relationship!!!!

this is a fic written for the Twisted Wonderland Gotcha for Gaza on Twitter! check out the other works of art under this gotcha, and please remember to keep being the voice for the oppressed and advocate for their lives so they and their stories may live on for generations to come 🇵🇸🍉

i think it's very interesting that Malleus' name is a reference to the book Malleus Maleficarum, which outlined the dangers of sorcery and witchcraft, that was written by some guy name Heinrich Kramer. haha. not to be a lore nerd rn but........
