… would you mind drawing Warren Worthington and Emma Frost holding the trans flag?

(both of them being trans is a somewhat popular headcanon for the both of them and I think it would be cute!)

This is a very cute idea.

You’d be strolling through the Carnival, Getting a view of everything. The rides, snacks, and toy prizes.

However one thing caught your eye, apparently they decided to hold booths which people could rent out, you’d see many. Some asking riddles or doing tricks and-

Oh fucking damn it the mutants got to them

Let’s see which mutant gets the most kisses!

btw reblogs are dearly appreciated 🫶

Hey, i know the Warrens are bad, and ive wanted to read about it for a while, but lately im just having a really hard time reading long things.

Anywhere i can get a summary of the bad they did?

It's hard to find even a summary that's not incredibly long, since their career spanned decades and they got their fingers into literally hundreds of cases over that time, plus their impact on pop culture.

The SHORT version can be boiled down to the following points:

They made up all the shit they said about demonic hauntings, the Devil's Hour, scratches, possession, and so forth. Straight up invented. But it became popular because of their lecture tours and later the rise in popularity of ghost-hunting shows, so it's still with us through paranormal pop culture.

They lied repeatedly about their credentials, their investigative methods, the events of the cases they worked on, the families they talked with, and the amount of money they were making from the related publicity.

They took advantage of every case and every family they were ever involved with, sensationalizing the crap of out things until the actual people and events involved are almost impossible to see anymore. If the Warrens were involved with a paranormal or criminal case at any point, do not believe a damn thing you hear about it.

So basically it was a long series of religious grifts and self-aggrandizing publicity stunts with associated lore, and that lore became part of the paranormal community and the witch community by association. And now we have to continually unteach people the shit the Warrens put into the world.

Hope this helps and wasn't too long!

We have put Desmond in a lot of situations, but seeing the recent ask about Ratonhnhaké:ton becoming a Templar got me thinking: What if after a few years on the run, Desmond gets discovered by Abstergo early? But instead of kidnapping him, they set up a scenario, where Desmond gets offered a job by them and he accepts. Eventually they convert him to the Templar mindset(wanting order isn't a bad thing, right?) and maybe a cell of assassins find out about Desmond working at Abstergo and rush to try and kill him. This, alongside his shitty upbringing, gets Desmond to finally fully throw himself into becoming a Templar(he was reluctant before, Templars are the bad guy, that' what his father slways said... right?). He could even train with Daniel and become an assassin hunter. :D

Everyone knew who Desmond Miles was.

It was hard not to considering he was William Miles’ son.

But no one would ever dare say that to his face.

William Miles was a forbidden topic in the presence of Desmond Miles.

Vidic ordered it himself.

Daniel hated him before he even met him.

He only heard the gist of it from Vidic.

A sixteen year old runaway who didn’t even know just how dangerous the real world was, found by Abstergo because he caught a fever that left him bedridden and sent to the nearest free clinic which was, fortunately for Vidic, under Abstergo control.

And now he was finally meeting Desmond Miles, 6 years later, to be his instructor.

6 years was a long time to indoctrinate someone but Desmond Miles was supposed to be a skittish boy so Vidic made him his pet project.

A son.

He called him.

How laughable.

Daniel knew how that play goes, having been the focus of it before.

But unlike Desmond Miles-

No.

Desmond Vidic.

The name made Daniel want to vomit.

Unlike that idiot, Daniel had no choice.

The trigger they place on him made him kill the last mentor. He was the Brotherhood’s number one target.

And Daniel’s sanity could only be preserved by the Animus under Abstergo.

He had no choice and he didn’t give care.

Dr. Sung always furrowed her brows whenever he said that.

Was it the truth?

Was Daniel lying to himself?

Who knows?

Who cares?

What he does know is that he hates Vidic’s adopted son.

He had the choice.

He’s just stupid enough to fall for the indoctrination.

No.

He was weak.

William Miles and his lovely (his neck throbbed at the reminder of that bitch managing to graze the side of his neck, that sniper rifle only missing its mark thanks to Daniel’s quick reflexes and Eagle Vision) wife had made him weak.

And now he was to become like Daniel.

An Assassin turned Assassin Hunter.

He sees him before he even got to the meeting room they were supposed to meet.

A nice suit that hugged his form, most definitely tailored and expensive.

He could afford it.

Daniel saw in his files that he had a salary larger than a supposed assistant for someone like Vidic should have.

Another way to keep him in their grasp, he supposed.

Money.

Connection.

… Family.

Vidic really went all out.

Why wouldn’t he?

Desmond was the perfect Animus candidate. The scion of the Ibn-La'Ahad and the Auditore. What mysteries they could uncover from the memories of his ancestors.

Vidic was bidding his time though.

He still had other Animus subjects to torture and Desmond was better off hunting what remains of the Brotherhood in the meantime.

“Daniel Cross?”

Daniel’s feet stopped before he knew it.

Their eyes met as Desmond slowly turned to face him.

His lips curved into a polite smile.

The kind of smile the receptionist always gave whenever she had to talk to someone.

But his eyes.

Those were the eyes of someone who had killed before.

For a moment, Daniel thought that Vidic had ordered him to kill someone.

But no.

Vidic was more meticulous than that.

He must have orchestrated the situation in which Desmond would have no choice but to kill someone.

And then he would come in moment’s later, pretending he had rushed to the scene as soon as he heard, perhaps even bring a few men with him in an attempt to make Desmond believe he had tried to save him.

Yes.

That was more like Vidic.

Daniel hated the fact that he wanted Vidic’s acknowledgment even after knowing the man that he was.

And here was the boy who held Vidic’s ‘fatherly affection’.

Would he break if Daniel was to tell him Vidic orchestrated it?

Or would he not believe it and try to kill Daniel?

Daniel won’t tell him though.

Because that would only disappoint Vidic.

So he took a step towards the young man.

“Call me ‘mentor’.” He ordered.

Something appeared in Desmond’s eyes but it was snuffed out before Daniel could see what it was.

Annoyance?

Amusement?

He couldn’t be sure.

Desmond’s (fakefakefakehehatesitfakefakefake) polite smile stayed as he replied.

“Sure. If you’re into that kind of roleplay.”

Daniel’s lips twitched as he remembered.

The annoying thing about Vidic’s adopted son was that…

He was a brat.

(this can totally be the ‘prologue’ to this idea if you want to add time travel to it)

I saw you were asking for red valley holiday art requests so I was wondering, maybe warren and gordon in matching holiday sweaters? I feel like gordon would ask warren to wear it and he didn't have it in his heart to say no lmao

this is a bit late but here you go!

i loooove your band au it's so cute!! do they have a band name? why did the O5 have a falling out and what did jean, bobby, and warren play? i'm imagining they get their first gig at harry's hideaway because he graciously allows them to set up in the corner and play as long as they don't bother anyone lol. rogue and gambit both go (rogue drives them and helps them set up, gambit goes to cheer on storm) and that's how they meet

I’m glad people enjoy my silly band idea. I unfortunately have no idea what they would call themselves, but I’m sure some ridiculous ideas were proposed from each member. I’d love to hear ideas.

Ah, the O5… I think they split up because of a combination of reasons. 1.) Worthington Senior urging Warren to return home as Worthington Industries’ heir. 2.) Jean going to a prep school so she can graduate early be the professor’s intern in mutant politics. 3.) Hank’s plans to intern at Stark Industries, which he ultimately doesn’t go through with after he transforms. Of course, there would be petty drama on the side that would further strain things, but those three would probably be the main reasons.

I think Hank looking into Stark Industries would be a big contributor because Bobby would feel betrayed. They promised to stay together, and after Bobby learned about Warren and Jean’s situations, he at least thought that he would have Hank. So, to catch Hank researching about a full time internship would really hurt.

I also think that Warren would initially do everything in his power not to return home until he learns about Jean’s plans. He thinks she’s only doing this because it’s what the professor wants, but then he learns Jean is actually really looking forward to this. I also think he’s bitter about Scott’s encouragement of Jean’s plans, because it’s splitting their group apart. And then when Bobby and Hank finally have their confrontation, he feels like trying to ignore his fate is childish and he should just give in to his father’s plans.

They all used to live at the institute together, but then Warren returned home and Jean is abroad at her prep school. It’s very tense between Scott, Hank, and Bobby, but Scott and Hank eventually making up again probably makes Bobby get over his hurt. He didn’t really take the band as seriously as the others; he just wanted to hang out with his friends. Bobby would later show up to the band’s gigs as support, and who knows… maybe Warren and Jean would, as well.

Scott played the drums, Jean was the pianist, Hank was guitar, Warren was vocals (and maybe another guitar player), and Bobby was bass.

Back to the current band set up, Gambit 100% comes to their performances, which eventually leads him to meet Rogue;

Gambit is already the band’s uncle, so it makes sense that he hits it off with the band’s new aunt. Mr. Logan found Gambit suspicious at first (and to be fair, Mr. Logan is at least 80% sure he saw Gambit pickpocket someone from across the room), but when he sees how much Gambit cares for Storm, he begrudgingly lets go of his suspicions. He still keeps a watchful eye over Gambit and Rogue’s interactions, though. Rogue’s still his child.

Bahhh, so many fun ideas with this. I think it would be really cute if other X-Men are thrown into the mix. They may not be a part of the band, but they still contribute to the chaos of the private school (I think it would be funny if Piotr was an art club member who does art for the band, and Sean was one of their sound crew guys. Any ideas for other X-Men?).

Despite being standoffish, Warren Peace isn't touch starved. If anything he'll be the one to give a ton of physical affection to his partner

- 👻

i think that he’d just be private about it. the most he probably does in public is hold hands and kiss you every now and then

unless he’s jealous, then he’s making sure everyone knows you’re with him

Could you please tell me about Charlie bears? I really want one but I don't know much about them, I'm in the USA so they're kinda hard to find but I did find a shop kinda close to me and I'm going the 19th to maybe get one😁 If you have any could I see them, please and thank you -Dal

Sure! Here are most of my Charlie Bears. I'll answer your questions under the cut.

Charlie Bears have two main 'types': their jointed bears that are generally collector items, and their more cuddly Bearhouse bears that are not jointed. They also do palm sized 'beanie baby' types called Cuddle Cubs:

I personally would recommend the Bearhouse bears over the jointed kind because they tend to be more cuddly, if that's a consideration. Most of them are also done in a jointed style that gives the appearance of a jointed bear, even if their joints don't actually move.

Bear (hah) in mind that Charlie Bears are not as cuddly as a lot of other plush brands. While they can be cuddled, they can be quite 'hard' compared to, say, Jellycat- even the Bearhouse ones. They are also significantly heavier than most other plush brands, at least the bigger ones are!

Personally, I love my Charlie Bears, but they tend to be 'sit on the back of my chair and look pretty' plush. I find them too big/heavy to carry and too hard to cuddle much. On the other hand, I take my Cuddle Cubs around with me often because they're tiny and squishy 👍🏻

I hope this helps answer your question at least a bit! ❤️

WAIT THE CHURCH PAID FOR "A HAUNTING"? I USED TO BITCH SO MUCH ABOUT THAT SHOW BEING SATANIC PANIC PROPAGANDA (and then kept watching it because it was the spookiest thing I had access to at the time).

YES LITERALLY!!!!

In the early seasons of the show, when it was just exclusively on Discovery, you could see a little blurb in the credits that indicated some funding for the show had come from the Catholic Church. I just checked and it looks like that was removed when the show shifted over to the Travel Channel / Destination America. (It's not in the videos posted on their YouTube channel and there's no mention on their media pages. Also any mention of "A Haunting" is pretty much taken up by the forthcoming Agatha Christie film, "A Haunting in Venice," so I couldn't find any articles related to prior funding.)

Whether the Church still provides any funding for the show is unknown, but it looks like it's still in production through New Dominion Pictures and still airs in syndication on Discovery Networks channels.

And yes, it is FULL of Warrenisms and Satanic Panic propaganda. And it's because of "A Haunting" and shows like it that this misinformation became gospel to an entire generation of witches and spiritualists and paranormal seekers, and continues to be viewed as such to this day, to the point that even though we know the VERY mundane and non-satanic origins of things like Ouija boards and poppets, these things are automatically viewed as open doors for demons by most people you'd ask on the street or social media.

If you ever want a fun bingo night or drinking game, watch a few episodes and spot all the Warren Bullshit, Satanic Panic talking points, and complete ignorance of things like mental health problems and families that don't know how to communicate. If you're feeling brave, pick an episode that deals with witches, magic, or curses. Also, MST3k that shit with friends or provide color commentary, it's a riot.
