i'm so mad because i love malik so so so much. like, to be honest, it'd be easy to write a yugioh character as simply as possible - it's a fun series, but takahashi definitely played faves with his character development. but you've taken a villain and made him a shitheel without compromising the part where he was made into what he is. he's not tragic, but he feels like a full character; rounded, careful characterization keeps him as malik, but you make sure that others get their fair share with his threads. icly, he's super super one of my faves! i adore him. oocly you're getting me back into a 15 year old fandom of mine and it's ruining my life but it's bringing me a lot of fun, too, so thank you both for your ic presence and ooc presence. they're both fantastic. and you're such a darling to me, too - if i weren't stuck with you, you'd be stuck with me, so i guess we're locked together now <3
