#I WILL NOT STOP EVER

OKAY BUT... LAST OF US X GOD OF WAR (2018)... HEAR ME OUT.

i really love god of war and the last of us series (i need to watch more gameplay but i get the jist) so... have some headcanons where kratos is human and alive during the cortaceps virus and raising atreus, only to meet joel and ellie - considering naughty dog and santa monica studios vibe + i need to come up with more all-father kratos content.

* the way kratos came to america was fairly simple. kratos had moved from greece to iceland/norway to start a new life after a past filled with violence. atreus had suggested a holiday to the usa to take a break, only for the virus to absolutely ravage both countries. they were now stuck in the us. faye was originally with them but... y'know, she dies.

* kratos and atreus both have accents, as english is definitely not their first language. they struggled to navigate the states, but they knew that they need to kill, kill, kill. eventually they learn to read in english.

* ultimately, they found themselves with the fireflies, not knowing that they were corrupt. however, kratos and atreus were safe and did not question anything for a few years. atreus trained and kratos did more dangerous jobs in exchange for food. they worked closely with mel.

* when kratos was on a job, he met joel and ellie. they were both in danger but he decided to help them and begrudgingly introduced himself peacefully despite joel's apprehension.

* kratos had walked awhile with the duo, answering a few of ellie's questions before walking in the direction of the fireflies. joel was like "hey, didn't you know they're shitty...?" and kratos was like "what."

* joel explained what they did and ellie made the suggestion to join them in travelling. joel was neutral with the idea and kratos accepted, quickly returning home to get their things and atreus.

* they start living and travelling with the father-daughter duo and eventually start trusting each other.

* NOTES! : kratos is on the darker side of tanned and still has his tattoos, he still killed a bunch of people but it was a more "mob" style type thing. faye had turned into one of the infected and died by kratos' hands when she was in the clicker phase. joel and kratos are a hardcore slowburn - considering they both have troubled pasts.

Happy one year anniversary to this FNAF post,,

"Do you miss the time when you used to do no harm?"

Old habits.

Merc behaviour is based on a nice little comment @up-in-flames-writing left on one of my comics :)

Rambling and more silly drawings below.

Loosely based on the Solemn Vow's public blurb:

Art lovers will cherish the bust of Hippocrates, commemorating a time when the Medic still thought doing no harm was a good idea.

I am absolutely convinced that Medic carries dextrose drops with him. German pharmacies throw these after you when you buy anything at all. I went to check if this one specific brand I know of had been around since the 60s and 70s and yes, it was.

Small acts of kindness I can see Medic doing is giving everyone one of these if they are tired. I'm talking about Engineer mostly.

Or they snack on them when solving practical problems together, like during the teleporter bread tumor incident.

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:

A post in 2023:

A post in 2014:

A zoom out of the same post:

This is what a community looks like.

See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.

It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.

Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.

If you want more of something, reblog it.
