Alek Squinquargesimus - Tumblr Posts

probably part 1 of 2 tbh

I got this picture from here: https://www.pinterest.ru/pin/331296116334815671/  

Even though it depicts Lin and Tenzin from The Legend of Korra, this couple also reminds me of Malak and Revan here. That might seem strange, but I’ve associated them with Malak and Revan since I came across it a couple of years ago.

Obviously, I don’t own the picture.:)

Spring makes us sleepy. So let’s sleep. We are apart, but separation can be healed by sleeping. Perhaps we may meet each other in a dream.

Marina Tsvetaeva

“ Весна наводит сон. Уснем. Хоть врозь, а все ж сдается: все Разрозненности сводит сон. Авось увидимся во сне.” (The original lines in Russian)

The poet may have loved writing about meeting in dreams as there are some lines about that in other poems - “When can we see each other? While dreaming.” ( “- Когда увидимся? - Во сне.”)

These are so revalek lines for me as in my headcanon they share a Force bond which is strong enough to see each other in dreams, even after Malak’s betrayal...

No worse hell I hoped there would be The worst day for mankind is near All that I have loved is fading All I have embraced As the traitors threat humanity How can we avoid a tragedy We should overcome this misery We must unite Enemies that should have all been drawn away Watch the world go down as they are leading us astray Will we find a way to decimate the devil's lies I shall spare no life nor souls this time around Use your anger in this battle, free us from the pain now Now come to save us Turn your anger into hate and save us So that in the end we all be free The Promised Land, our mighty land Our future has an open end We dedicate to life's debate All that's vanished in this moment The Promised Land, our mighty land Try to feel it, not to understand We dedicate and tolerate A war that's imminent for all

Dedicate Your Heart! by Epica

I believe these lines fit the pre-kotor story of the Mandalorian Wars perfectly well. I love both Japanese version of the song by Linked Horizon and Epica’s one. Like many others, I think it fits Star Wars in general as well, so there’s a video of Star Wars anime opening too. (I would definitely watch that anime if it existed! I would definitely draw a pre-kotor comic or even make a video like that... if I could.XD)

And they lived happily ever after... until they killed each other on the same day... (about Revan and Malak)

No other words, just love them so much!XD

Tiny Jedi lovers are terrible at hiding their relationships pass it on

Revan about Malak and the Exile: Nobody dares hurt my friends! Except for me, of course...

I’ve listened to that during all the evening today and can’t help thinking this version fits Revan and Malak so much... (Marry Me & Across the Stars by Samuel Kim)

Sketch commission for @revanchxst !

Their Revan is so pretty and pairing her with (m)Alek is such a big brain move ~

Master Zez-Kai Ell *giving a speech in front of padawans and knights*: ...so you all, living in this temple, are brothers and sisters...

The Exile *glancing at Revan and Malak beside him and whispering*: So... some of us have incestuous relationships then.

Revan: Bastard!

Once upon a time, there was a pretty young jedi girl who fell madly in mutual love with a handsome jedi knight. Unfortunately, they both turned to the dark side and then he tried to kill her by the hands of their mutual enemies. In fact, she killed him several months after, without all her memories, even not realizing how much he meant for her once... She might have got married a bright and promising Republic soldier, but she chose to return to the Unknown Regions, instead, to find out about the Sith threat and get the memories back... And then, I suppose, she lived unhappily ever after... That's it in a nutshell. Do you need more?

Who I Am by The Score

I'm a saint, and I'm a sinner I'm a loser and a winner Without faith and a believer I am true and the deceiver I'm a hero and a villian I'm a myth, and I'm a legend Without strength and a contender I am real and the pretender Take me as I am, or don't Cause I don't give a damn, no Take me as I am, or don't Cause I don't give a damn, no I have my flaws I make mistakes But I'm myself I'm not ashamed That's who I am, That's who I am, That's who I am, I have my doubts I lose my strength Sometimes I fall, but I don't break That's who I am, That's who I am, That's who I am,

...

I don't want to be someone else I don't ever want to lose this hunger Never gonna try to change myself, oh When everybody's got their soul on sale I don't want to be just a number Never gonna try to change myself.

I adore this video of one of the Old Republic trailers going with that song. I think, it could be a perfect Revan song or even Revan-Malak-the Exile one. It suits Revan and amnesiac Revan a bit better though. Especially “I'm a hero and a villian, I'm a myth, and I'm a legend” lines, they remind me of Darth Malak’s last words - “Savior, conqueror, hero, villain. You are all things, Revan... and yet you are nothing...” 

Alek/Malak: Why are you friends with me, actually?

Revan: Somebody's got to realize my weird ideas. Why not you?

To express my opinion about possible relationship of Revan and Carth after the Star Forge battle, I could give a long talk why it wouldn't work. I guess that I'll write a short fic about that one day. But many years ago I found that fic that describes my view on revanasi perfectly!

I totally agree with how their relationship goes after Kotor 1 in this short story. The thing is that I see how Carth may love either the identity of amnesiac Revan or the 'mix' of her real self and the false one. But! The more Revan remembers her real past and realizes who she really is, the more complicated her relationship with Carth becomes because they like from different universes. Carth can't deal with all this Force stuff while for Revan it is the most natural thing (can't also forget she was a Kreia's student). He doesn't have neither enough power to support her, nor enough knowledge of Force sensitives and their problems. She has that 'dark past' behind and difficulty in mentioning it and some of the people who used to be the closest to her as, obviously, these are Carth's trigger points. Despite all the issues Carth dealt with, he is much closer to a normal person who's eager for a normal life while Revan often 'looks for troubles and new adventures' to her cost. Revan intends to get all the memories back, which might be pretty annoying for Carth. I'm not sure, he wants to lose the very woman he loved during the journey. I'm not sure, he can truly understand 'real Revan'.

So I'm not surprised their romance may be broken when Revan goes away to recover the memories and find out something concerning the Sith and the Emperor.

Thus, as for me, the phrase 'It's so much easier to love her when she's gone' is a real pleasure and makes sense when taking the above into account.

P.S. I completely understand that my opinion is also based on Revan I see. Actually, I can imagine different versions of Revan, but no one of them would say 'I'm not Revan any more... Don't call me that!' or something like that. Quite a long time ago I realized that I'd like to see Revan with a powerful Force sensitive person with a shared past who's also gone through hard times because of the Force, because of the Jedi Order and not only... in my headcanon that is Malak or might be the Exile. I'm wondering why there are only a few fics by the authors who see the Exile and Revan as a couple since it's such a reasonable way to go...

In the Jedi Temple on Coruscant:

Knight Malak aka Alek to knight Revan: The most important thing is that you mustn't die of tiredness while reading your datapad during another night... Otherwise, I'll have to explain masters that it isn't my fault... or my cunning plan to get rid of you...

P.S. You can see them getting along well before the Mandalorian Wars!:D

One Shot dealing with Revan and the Exile’s interaction on Dantooine after Malak was captured by Mandalorians (we know that, Revan and the Exile aren’t fully aware of what happened yet). (1640 words) Not sure I managed to reflect all that I wanted in the way I wanted, but... probably, one day I’ll cope with that and write something different and a bit better.

Description:  Mandalorian attacks and Malak's disappearance on his way to a Mandalorian base shocked both Revan and Peter. They are willing to act, but their own thoughts and proximity to a powerful source of the dark side do not help them. These are probably only beginnings of what they have to get involved in.

Notes:

- Peter Brookman is a name of the future Exile; - I wanted to reflect Revan and Peter's uncertainty over the future just before the war, their interaction, some shades of friendship, a bit of night Dantooine's vibes (and also sort of unconscious thoughts and feelings about the future events???); - English isn't my native language so there must be some mistakes; - The title wasn't initially inspired by the Scorpion's song but later I found out that certain lines fit perfectly to the atmosphere!

It may or may not go with Deep and Dark by Scorpions, it depends on a reader.

“It's deep and dark Deep down in my heart lt's deep and dark Since we've been apart...”

Deep and Dark by Scorpions

Their story is hardly a fairy tale.

They're not ordinary people and they have no chance of making their own fairy tale... at least, of the one with a happy ending.

Some Malak's thoughts on his relationship with Revan before the Mandalorian Wars from a short (i do hope so) fic I'm trying to write. A kind of a prediction if you like...

1)Ok, then!) In my headcanon, the full Malak's name is Alek Malak Squinquargesimus. But Malak can't stand his first name, because there are plenty of Aleks in the Jedi Temple and every time one says 'Alek' in class, everybody else gets confused which Alek is mentioned! That's why he always asks others to call him Malak. He also hates his last name as he finds it ridiculous. Revan usually calls him Malak, but if she wants to tease him - Alek or Lord Squinquargesimus;

2) Malak secretly enjoys the way Revan says his middle name.

I like to think that Malak is a nickname that he got from Revan. It derives from Revan calling him "My Alek" which eventually became "Malek" which could also be spelled "Malak"

Revan’s Escapades, of nearly getting her friends killed, started long before the war.

My headcanon of Revan’s birth name is Reva. I find it really funny that Malak was once named Alek, and so it’s even funnier if Revan also just added one letter to her name and thought “yeah, the Council will never find us now!” (I also headcanon male Revan as named Evan, same principal.)

I love depicting characters as normal before going through a corruption arc. It really adds to the pain. This is young Alek (Malak) and Reva (Female Revan). Their outfits are sort of “clubbing versions” of their later Sith Costumes.
