Wasteland Atsume: Warlord Collector

Joe, Kalashnikov, People Eater, and the Organic Mechanic… As cats.

[joaniethegirl]

Anatole, a Mad Max Mortiflyer OC! Art by me, character and lore by @mygodcharles Anatole operates the flame-throwing glider we see in the Stowaway chase. You'll never catch him entering a road war without his homemade recreation of Greek Fire. Much like its historical ancestor, this incendiary chemical weapon is a horrific tarry, burning slime that sticks to its target. He's also the Octoboss' right-hand man when it's time for some, ahem, "enhanced interrogation." When it's time to string up the "interviewee," he's the one lighting the fire beneath them and holding one side of the rope to keep them suspended. Anatole's brutal actions are not the result of blind loyalty or simping for the Octoboss — he genuinely believes he's acting in the best interests of the Mortiflyers, and that no tactic is off the table when protecting his found family. Last but not least, Anatole is the Octoboss' longtime romantic partner. See Anatole and Octoboss when they were young here. Get to know his relationship with Octoboss here.

Spotting Misogyny in the Mad Max Fandom: A Handy Guide

What IS Misogyny

Pull up any Mad Max Facebook group, the comments section on the official Furiosa marketing posts, or the comments section on any Furiosa video on YouTube. You'll find whiners screeching things like "boohoo we can't even have Max in Mad Max BECAUSE OF WOKE." You'll see them blaming the movie's modest box office returns on the fact that the movie has an "ICKY GIRL PROTAGONIST WITH COOTIES." If you get really unlucky when seeing misogynistic content, you might even find some really gross dirty AI deepfake pics of ATJ or Charlize as Furiosa.

What is NOT Misogyny

An artist drew some characters that aren't Furiosa. AND/OR The fandom likes some male characters from Furiosa. If you feel the need to consider this misogyny, consider the following points: 1. Waffles vs. pancakes. If someone says "I love waffles!" it's absurd to read into that message and assume it carries the hidden meaning of "I hate pancakes!" If someone draws some male characters from "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," it's equally absurd to assume they're doing this as a malicious and misogynistic act against Furiosa. ALSO If you think "No Furiosa in this pic = misogyny," then do you think "No Big Jilly, Fang, or other POC character in fan art = racist"? I'm guessing no. Because that would be silly. And probably because you're just morally grandstanding and slinging bad-faith accusations as a way to justify your temper tantrum about not getting free content of your blorbo. ----- 2. Everyone making fan art for "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" is someone who saw the movie and was passionate about it, despite it being an under-marketed movie that didn't strike gold at the box office. Most of us didn't have any IRL friends that saw the movie. For those of us who followed the hype (or lack thereof) leading up to the film, there was a bunch of backlash from actual misogynists over the film just straight-up existing. (Like all those manbaby whiners on the gamergate grifter side of YouTube) . And it's not like the fandom is riding a cultural tidal wave — the people making fan art are genuinely expressing their love for the film and its universe. We're not farming internet points or drawing these "popular male characters" for some nefarious purpose. Some people just happen to attach to different characters. Does that bother you? Learn to blacklist tags. ----- 3. If you wanna go fight misogyny in the MM fandom, go over to Facebook and Reddit and get into an internet slapfight with one of the many middle-aged neckbeards screaming shit like "MAD MAX HAS GONE WOKE REEEEEEE." But nah, it's probably easier to send shitty anon asks to artists, isn't it? What do you think you're doing? Do you think you're owed an apology because someone made high-effort fan art, but without your blorbo? Do you think you're creating some kind of positive change in the world or the fandom by whinging anonymously in the ask box of an artist? ----- 4. There's plenty of content of Furiosa (the character.) Aside from there being, y'know, a whole damn movie dedicated to her, she was pretty much Tumblr's darling from 2015-2016, and remains a popular character for art and fic. Yay! That's great! Go feast on those! Every artist in this fandom is not obligated to feed you. We all have our fixations. And if you want that content so damn badly, make it yourself or pay someone to. ----- 4. Also, if you feel the need to go through someone's blog to see if they've reblogged enough Furiosa to pass your litmus test, you're being a weirdo. Stop it. Get some help. What are you, a cop? Do you think you can just pull random artists over and go through their reblogs to determine their "guilt" or "innocence," with regards to your accusations? It's as if you're a highway patrol officer checking out someone's history of traffic violations when determining whether to issue them a speeding ticket.

-----

So there you have it. TL;DR, it's some deeply terminally online clown behavior to attach moral weight to how many ATJ gifs and Furiosa drawings someone has on their blogs. Quit slinging bad-faith assumptions at fellow members of the fandom.

Octoboss and Anatole — The Early Days

Young Drago and Anatole! This is back when they first met, long before Drago came to be known as the Octoboss. I've got an extensive backstory for Octoboss, which includes him spending some of his youth on a farm on the coast of Victoria (kind of like the farm in MM1). Octoboss — then known as Dragomir — became enamored with a hang glider in the sky, almost idolizing its pilot as if they were a rock star. Although he loved his life with his found family, he dreamed of having the freedom that comes with flight. Meanwhile, Anatole, the glider pilot, dreamed of a stable life of subsistence farming. One day, when the winds picked up, Anatole's hang glider crashed near Drago's farmstead. And it just so turned out that the glider pilot was a young man his age.

As they got to know each other, they discovered their complementary skill sets, mutual interests, and a shared sense of humor. Drago found that his sky-faring hero sought companionship, family, and community. Anatole found that Drago was a caring and honest — but overworked — leader, in need of support. Love bloomed between them, and resulted in a lifelong romance that persisted until Octoboss got his bommys knocked and Anatole ended up on the wrong side of the War Rig's grabby arm. Anatole belongs to @mygodcharles !

Someone please explain why that person has no pants on.

[joaniethegirl]

Saw an absolutely FRIGID take that Praetorian Jack and Max Rockatansky were the only fuckable men in the Wasteland. That person clearly forgot they were on the Fucking Old Men website. So let's do this right.

Photos and propaganda below the cut!

Immortan Joe Original (Hugh Keays-Byrne) flavor

Do I really need to say more? He's the perfect man. He's got a regular dick and two steel dicks and he will treat you like a queen. You get your own (real) bed, clear filtered water, cool clean air, access to all the green a wasteland gal could want, as well as books, music, and your very own history woman! Really, he's got your best interests at heart. As long as you don't mention his cancerous boils and bear him a healthy son.

Immortan Joe Lachy Hulme flavor

Everything the original flavor gives you, plus slightly more lustrous hair and (probably) fewer boils! You miss out on the velvety-deep singing voice though. No guarantees that his dick works any better.

The People Eater

Prefer to top your men instead of bottoming? Into kink but haven't found a partner who's willing to let you explore your deepest, vilest desires? Have I got the man for you! Peeps will take whatever you give him, do whatever you tell him, and comes complete with his own set of reins for you to yank on as you ride. He probably will complain the whole time but you can shut him up pretty easily, just threaten to burn his ledgerbooks. Don't worry about the syphilis it's fine just. No seriously don't worry about it okay

The Bullet Farmer

Prefer to top your men but don't have a dick of your own? Kalashnikov is more than happy to take a steel dick (a gun. I mean a gun) or two...or more... in any hole he has! As long as you don't mind a little heavy metal poisoning for breakfast and a LOT of gun play, he will be your favorite scrungly old man. Also wins the Citadel Superlative of Most Likely To Talk Shit About Joe Behind His Back, and who doesn't love that?

Guardian of Gastown

Perhaps your taste in old men is less violent and more artistic. The Guardian of Gastown could be the man for you! He's talented and implied to be smart-- he calls Joe brother, which means he's at least his brother-in-arms, so he's wily enough to have stayed alive all this time. He's a bit of a shut-in now, but he'll paint you the most beautiful pictures. Where he gets-- or how he makes--all the paint, though, is anyone's guess.

The Ace

He may be a half-life warboy technically, but he's still got a lot of pep left in his swiss cheese bone(s)! He's lived long enough to get a much more sane, patient head on his shoulders than the young kami-crazy pups around him, who see him as a guide, a protector, even a dad. He's loyal, respectful, and will do everything he can to please you as long as you don't try to run away with a War Rig.

Organic Mechanic

If he is your man, I respect you but I am a little frightened of you.

Prime Imperator

Always wanted to be with a high-ranking military man who's juuuust this side of feral? Prime is your guy! He's got the best tan in the Wasteland and has been by Joe's side for a good long while, which means he's a healthy full-life that will give you all of the vigorous love you've been craving!

The History Man

If you're looking for more stories than sex, look no further than The History Man. You will spend hours caressing his wrinkled skin trying to decipher the worlds written on him and even longer listening to the worlds inside his head. He's a tender lover, but he has to be because anything more vigorous than that might kill him. And unless you're willing to be the next History Person after him, might not want to hustle his death any more than you have to.

Hugh Keays-Byrne and Tim Burns on set of Mad Max (1979)

[joaniethegirl]

Need more of the Witnessed War Boy who was shot in the head and survived and continued on thru the rest of the movie like the lil badass he is. Did he have a name? Look he just needs more attention okay, he touched Valhalla and came back, he's either a loser or a hero in that respect.

(Also he's got the same pure joy vibes as Smeg and I think they should hang out more)

[joaniethegirl]

Feels lonely to be one of the 8 people on tumblr with mad max brainrot rn. Seriously guys go see Furiosa.

[joaniethegirl]

this also applies to any mad max character

happy pride month
