So this was the unanswered messages in my ask box a couple of days ago:
and this is the unanswered messages in my ask box today,
and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has said such nice things about the season, and I'm sorry to everyone who had emotions they weren't expecting, and I'm impressed that so many of you have theories and don't plan to answer, validate or really even comment on any of them, but mostly I'm just sorry because I probably won't read whatever you've sent, not because I don't want to but because if I was doing nothing but reading Tumblr asks as a full time job I still wouldn't catch up with the thousands of asks coming in.
I'm glad you care.
Why do you always expect the worst to happen for no reason! Why do you always think badly about yourself! Geez, you’re so difficult! Damn, you idiot!
Don’t call me an idiot…
i always joke with my friends that the malfoy family is matriarchal, partly because i, personally, would let narcissa boss me around in a heartbeat, but also because i actually think there’s a solid canon backing that she’s like. the Head Bitch of the family. especially later on in the series. (it’s also why i think reading lucius as abusive is a misreading of their relationship, but whatever.)
just in general, i will never understand the reading that she’s meek or timid. we see so little of her character but with what we do see, she defies voldemort twice (lying about harry and going to severus for help), doesn’t shy away from standing up for herself/her family, seemingly holds the family together when lucius has his fall from grace, is not the least bit scared of her sister, and is more than willing to throw hands with her son’s rivals in public. to me, she’s very much lucius’ equal, even if she isn’t a sadist like her husband or sister (and i suppose there’s not a whole lot of canon material on that either way, so you can’t say for sure what she is). her capacity for compassion does not automatically make her kind, nor weak, especially since her compassion does not seem to extend past her family.
personally, narcissa gives me a lot of lady macbeth vibes. particularly the whole ‘look like the innocent flower, but be the serpent under it.’ (‘s also why i think she’s aptly named—daffodils are pretty and poisonous.) but back to my point:
the example of narcissa’s authority pre-everything going to shit is obviously this:
which is easily passable as an insignificant win in a family discussion, but then
you’ve got
stuff like
this
i haven’t read the books in a couple of years, so these examples are just the ones i can pluck from the top of my head, but i think it’s very interesting that narcissa is generally the one who defends the family, who lucius and draco turn to for guidance, and who is also just. the only malfoy the other death eaters seem to really respect (dh era).
there’s also the matter of movie canon, which i’m pretty eh with, but i do prefer the malfoy family ending in the films to the one in the books. and the fact that it’s narcissa who instigates it—who gets draco to come to them after he’s ignored lucius’ call, who walks away and calls for lucius to follow (and then he does)—is a nice representation of the authority she has in the books, i think. and then there’s also this:
which i could wax poetic on for hours, but it’d mostly just be shippy ramblings.
anyway. tl;dr: the timid, meek narcissa you sometimes see in fanon is ridiculous.

This. This is important.

Yup, it’s just as the bold title said, it’s about Mo’s collection of earrings, which appears in the main story or single illustrations.
Since his first appearance in the story, he’s been shown to have his ears pierced, probably to create a badass/delinquent vibe.
There’s been quite some confusion between the earrings too, so I would like to clear up things and give some anaoyzation:
1. He Tian’s earrings (gift to Mo)
One of the iconic symbols of this couple; made its first (official) appearance in the comic when Tian forced him down the bed to shove it in Mo’s earlobe (wait why does this sound so violent…). In an earlier illustration, Mo was shown with a pair similar in design (1st pic).
White around the edge, probably expensive or so, looks charming on Little Mo, etc.
On the reason why Tian gave him those: the first thing that comes to my mind is him showing his posessiveness with Mo (with that bed slam and all), somewhat like marking a terriory. They could probably be just a normal gift too though.
Mo probably sees them as too expensive and decided to keep them safe, instead of eating them outside.
Seeing Mo wrearing them in an eye candy~
2. The pair of black studs
Easily mistaken for Tian’s gift, the difference is in the design, as these ones are all black.
They haven’t made appearance during Mo’s middle school days (in main story). For the first and third picture, I will make a wild guess that it happens during the summertime between middle and high school.
He seems to only wear them while at work.
As it has yet to be disclosed whether they are Tian’s or not (and it’s still possible for him to give them to Mo in the main story), we can still hope that they are another of Tian’s gift.
3. Conch Piercing
Worn by the present time Mo on his right ear, it has only made two appearances in the special articles (Christmas and Valentines Massage). It is worn with the black studs.
Another variation of this earring is in the Black&White themed artwork, with a black ring instead.
4. Other earrings (mainly in single artworks)
