PILE BODY UPON BODY

I wish each individual chapter of a fic on AO3 had the date when it was posted, rather than just when the fic was first posted and when the last update was.  

That way you can see at a glance how often a WIP is updated, whether it’s fairly regularly or with huge long gaps between chapters; or if the first 20 chapters were posted in quick succession but the most recent couple were posted at long intervals, indicating that the writer is losing interest and may not finish, etc.

So it is canon that Ulysses despises Vulpes Inculta. And a smart guy like Vulpes would have definitely caught on the animosity

Which gives me the idea that because Vulpes could not ‘get rid of’ Ulysses due to our favourite Flag obsessed hunk being a useful Frumentarii and a fucking monster in the battlefield (The guy has 10 in all S.P.E.C.I.A.L so he’s clearly hard lol) Vulpes instead just…tormented Ulysses every chance he got. Killing him would be stupid as it would very likely anger Caesar, and Vulpes would have to acknowledge Ulysse’s usefulness to the Legion.

Ulysses was a Frumentarii, and the leader of the Frumentarii is Vulpes. Imagine working for the man who betrayed your tribe and then enslaved, raped and slaughtered the ones who were either women or too weak to serve the Legion. I don’t think even Ulysses could quite keep a handle on that lividness and the way he talks about him really connotes to the deep hatred he has for Vulpes.

So Vulpes making Ulysses do all the crap jobs, all the dirty jobs, all the goriest and nastiest jobs is probably a thing that happened. Vulpes would have been so smug that he screwed over the Twisted Hairs and now got to torment one of the survivors without any sort of backlash whatsoever. Ulysses doesn’t want to die so he can hardly kill Caesar’s favourite agent. 

Rubbing the tragedy in Ulysses’s face…perhaps even tormenting remaining members of the Twisted Hairs just to get a rile in him? And just petty stuff like bringing up Dry Wells, mocking his hair, stealing his food, refusing him a seat by the campfire. Maybe that is why he doesn’t need a camp or a lot of food when he sits at the edge of The Divide because he’s just used to it.

And when Ulysses leaves he has to be extra careful to cover his tracks because no fucking way is Vulpes just gonna let his favourite Frumentarii plaything just leave. But Vulpes can’t find Ulysses. He failed. So that’s why he does not talk about him at all when the Courier talks to him. 

Anyway, I’m just speculating and trying to build up a relationship between the two because while Ulysses talks shit about Vulpes Mr Fox himself never mentions Ulysses or the Twisted Hairs so I just…idk want to conjure up reasons as to why that is. I think it would have been interesting to hear Ulysses viewpoint on having to serve the man who destroyed his tribe, it CANNOT have been easy. Especially when the Twisted Hairs were not the only tribe to fall for Vulpe’s manipulation.

Overall? Ulysses = badass     Vulpes = Small pee pee

"And that asshole with a dog on his head, he starts talking about how we're bad people! He said we needed to be punished for what we did, not all of us, but some of us. And then he gives everyone a fucking lottery ticket..."

Colored sketch of Vulpes (from August 2021 I think? It was referenced off of cosplay photos from my instagram that were taken in August). I see a wide variety of visual interpretations of him in fan art! I always thought he had brown eyes the first few times I played the game, so I still draw him with brown eyes and dark hair (though I’ve also seen that his blonde collector’s edition card design is popular).
