letâs talk about Isbeth, Malik, Malec, Eloana and Sera a little
(I donât want this to be a never ending long post so I will divide this into different post, one for each character)
Jla dropped a little teaser from Fbaa5 and I have something to say
teaser:
character 1: Isbeth
character 2: Malik
character 3:
Malec:
Letâs make something clear beforehand: I fucking hate Malec. If this post sounds biased, it is because it is biased: I hate Malec and I believe he is a piece of shit. I donât care if Jla takes a redemption act from her ass during fbaa5, I wonât take it because he doesnât deserve it. I donât care whose son he is, I strongly believe he doesnât deserve to be put under the light of redemption.
First letâs do a little recap of what we know about his life:
Malec is born as one of the twins of Nyktos and Sera, he lived in the Alisium alongside his family and friends
he grew up, got bored of the gods' world, and started to visit de mortal realm. According to Reaver, Malec changed somehow after these visits. Reaver said that they used to be friends until that point
(I am not sure about this because I havenât read the books in a while but if I am not wrong at some point Malec doesnât come back to the gods' real and stays among mortals. He abandoned his family for freedom.)
Malec meets Eloana and they fall in love
Malec meets Isbeth and they fall in love
At some point, Malec has a child with isbeth
Eloana poisons isbeth but Malec brings her back to life
The war of two kings happens
Eloana embroils Malec and throws him into a cave for the next like 200 years (good for her :)
Now that we know about Malecâs life, I am going to list the reasons of why he is a piece of shit:
He committed mass murder and killed the deities that lived in the mortal realm. This was unnecessary to do because he is a god, the deities were only the grandchildren of gods, and they were not nearly as powerful as him. Not to mention that those were descendent of the same Gods he used to live with, He probably know whose offspring he was murdering and even if he didnât know all of them, Sera and Nyktos certainly did
he is a liar
he cheated on his wife. I canât and I would never stand on a chater's side. You may catch me defending a fictional murderer but never ever a cheater. Besides not mentioning that he cheated multiple times on Eloana and that she knew that he was cheating. I really think that this topic is not explored enough in this fandom. Letâs talk for a second about what this implies. One thing is to be cheated on and be oblivious about it, and the other is to know that the man that you love and that you are married to is cheating on you with multiple people. The latest causes incredible damage to self-confidence and self-love, also because Eloana stayed that means that she probably didnât blame Malec for being a cheater but herself for âmaking him want to cheatâ. Moreover, we donât know how is that she knows, if even Malec tried to hide it or denied his affairs. Because if he didnât that is also incredibly manipulating, is showing your partner that they are not enough for you so âyou have to do thisâ, it also shows that you donât care about the other person in any way and that you are a piece of shit.
He is a misogynist. One example of this is when he marries Eloana so she becomes queen and they change the Atlantian crest because Eloana âis less powerful than himâ (then she kicked his ass. good for her) so they make her representation in the crest smaller to his. Seriously wtf. And you canât tell me that it was not a choice because Poppy chose that she and Casteel should be represented equally. She sees Casteel as her equal and she respects him. So yes, It was a choice.
the existence of cravens those are his fault
Also, I find it incredibly sad that all Eloana wanted was having a family with the man she loved and through his marriage, they never had a child but Malec was so quick to get his mistress pregnant. Thatâs shitty
all his behavior shows three things clearly: he is selfish, he is a sexist/misogynistic and narcissistic
I donât care whose son Malec is, he doesnât deserve to be put under the ligh of âbut poor malecđâ and given a redemption act. Besides, what is he going to say? "oh but guys I was in love! so a cheated on my wife multiple times, lied to her, and I was literally a piece of shit husband oh and then I brought back my mistress from death and accidentally brought the cravens to the real oops! and my lovely heartmate who was alive because of me was then the person who abused you all this yearsđ ! but I am poor defenseless god :( eloana is so mean, she was supposed to be a weak atlantian not to win over me. we should hate her, how dare she remarry, build a family, be a good queen and try to be happy??? poor me! and I am poor por godâ
I understand Sera's anger but her son had it coming.
