I've never known a girl like you before

Now just like in a song from days of yore

Here you come knocking, knocking on my door

Well, I've never met a girl like you before

You give me just a taste so I want more

Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw

'Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor

Miles’ cover of the song

Local burger lover Mike,what do you think the Spiderband's favorite kind of burgers are🤨🙏🏼🎤?

First of all I will pass on purchasing this title non-ironically, thank you very much. Second YOU CAME TO THE RIGHT PLACE OH MY TITAN I'LL HAVE SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS ASK

All of them, no exceptions, will always prioritize artisanal burgers over big franchises like BK or McDonalds and this is just canon we're on the same page about it right?

Mirassol likes a good old chimi but she's also super into a classic brie cheeseburger, Miles G loves chimi too but prefers a spicy double burger

Gwen is a huge burger lover (she likes it especially when Hobie's mom makes 'em) and her and Hobie have a shared favorite for pizza burgers but her second option would be a big chicken burger or a bacon burger

Hobie as I said before highly prefers pizza burgers, they're his favorite and just like Gwen he'll eat any type of burger his mama makes cuz his mama is great and her food is too but scrawny as he is once in a lifetime he'll eat the whole thing. He always shares his with his friends but they're now making him eat more and soon enough he'll be just fine with eating one entire burger (angst material prob)

Pavtir's is probably a spicy Indian lamb burger and Gayatri's since I headcanon her as vegan i believe that would be a veggie indian-style burger (I've seen some pretty mouthwatering recipes recently so I had to add this)

Peni likes a chili burger with wasabi ketchup

Ganke is a burger addict too and his favorite is a nduja burger but he also loves a vegan cheeseburger (my boy is lactose intolerant)

My sweet girl Margo <3 she's a monster when it comes to eating fast food you look at this cute little girl and think "she ain't eating that much" but she is and she'll steal some bytes (haha humor) from her partner's. She likes to say she doesn't have a favorite and if you insist she'll probably say something basic like a classic burger but she loves your good old bacon burger and I would like to say it's her personal fave

Bonus Mike likes a double cheeseburger but he hates cheddar (also a lactose intolerant but since is it holding anyone back right? He's allergic to cats but had four and got adopted by Nora who counts as at least three and this is totally not me just dumping random facts about me at my oc's)

I really hope these are in character lmao, tried adding cultural rep without making it sound stereotypical but idk. Also please feel free to add your (Summer's or anyone else reading this) spidersona favorite burger 💗

Desmond owning a bakery on the Davenport Homestead!! Why not complete the trilogy?

Making various kinds of bread for the Mile's End to be served as sides for meals, using leftover goods make other kinds of meals and to feed Prudence's & Warren's animals, and the people of the homestead often visiting the bakery when taking breaks from their jobs.

I imagine Connor meeting Desmond for the first time on the Frontier when the latter was looking for better herbs to use in the bread he makes. Connor felt something familiar in him, prob thought "y not", and offered Desmond a chance to have a bakery at the homestead.

Even if Connor mayhaps isn't a big fan of sweets, someone else on the homestead certainly is (Godfrey's & Terry's kids have sweet teeth(?) for sure).

Here’s the 3rd Crusade Baker version with Desmond using the power of looking a lot like Altaïr but with big bright smiles to unnerve and confuse the Al-Sayf brothers and the power of sweets to stop Altaïr from asking questions.

Here’s the Renaissance Italy Baker version where Ezio and Leonardo mistake Desmond as Giovanni’s illegitimate child and Desmond mistakes Leonardo’s ‘hints’ as Leonardo starting to figure out that he’s a time traveler with bonus oblivious Maria who just think Ezio and Leonardo really likes the bread and keeps asking Ezio to buy more.

Let’s combine both of your asks!

.

Desmond actually learns to bake in England. There’s a sweet old couple who needed help with their bakery and Desmond sorta got adopted by them. That’s where he learned the basics of how to bake.

He stayed with the sweet couple until they die peacefully of old age.

They lived a long life and Desmond doesn’t regret staying with them for this long.

Then their son who never even bothered to visit them took over the bakery and kicked Desmond out because he felt threatened by Desmond.

Desmond had half the mind to stab the asshole but he refrained from doing acts of violence because (1) he made a promise to himself that this life, he was going to try and be a pacifist (emphasis on try) and (2) he knows the sweet couple would be sad if Desmond stabs the asshole… in the leg… maybe twist it a bit… no, Desmond. Bad, Desmond.

So… knowing he was going to do something he had promised not to do if he stayed in England, he made his way for the first ship leaving the port, requesting to be taken in as kitchen help or something (even gave the captain his last batch of bread to sweeten the pot).

…

Okay.

So…

Here’s the thing.

Desmond had been deliberately ignoring whatever news he hears and the year. Because he knew if he knew the year, he’d be tempted to do something because he was around the time that Ratonhnhaké:ton would be born so…

He’s trying to be selfish here, okay?

He knows it’s not really the best way to go about it and he knows that he can, in theory, change history and all that grand stuff.

But Desmond doesn’t want to do that. He already saved the world. This is his retirement.

Why is this important?

Because Desmond would like to stress that it was a bloody coincidence that he boarded the same ship Haytham boarded to go to the colonies.

And now Haytham was observing him because he knows that Desmond was not part of the original crew which means he was suspicious.

So Desmond stays away from Haytham and keep his head down and… hope for the best, essentially.

…

Desmond would like to stress that he did not give Haytham food poisoning!

He was in charge of cutting ingredients, for god’s sake! He was nowhere near the pot OR Haytham’s fucking plate.

Also… is Haytham sure it’s not just seasickness?

… probably not but Desmond is innocent!

Oh, what he would do to wring the neck of the actual Assassin who failed in assassinating Haytham. If he was going to poison the man, at least double the dosage anyway to be sure!

Again.

Desmond is a pacifist… but dear god that kitchen knife was certainly looking quite sexy at the moment.

.

Ah.

Land.

And most important.

Goodbye, Haytham!

Desmond should skedaddle and…

What’s that?

Oh.

Someone needs help? Well… Desmond wasn’t heartless. He’d help.

Oh, wait.

Oh, fuck.

It was Benjamin Franklin.

Why yes, Desmond was looking for work.

What’s that?

Oh, he can cook but he makes a mean bread.

…

Oh.

Uuuhh… it seemed Desmond just got hired by Benjamin Franklin to be part of his kitchen staff???

.

Desmond has no idea who the two Assassins were.

He has no idea why the two of them decided to visit Franklin this early in the morning.

What he does know is that Franklin turns into a whiny baby if he smells Desmond’s bread and can’t eat it so he’s serving them all fresh bread and tea just so Franklin doesn’t complain to him later on.

… was that the light of a POE?

Nope.

Desmond must be seeing things.

.

Jesus Christ.

He doesn’t know why Franklin had been kidnapped and why he has to be kidnapped as well. He can, of course, just beat the crap out of all of them but…

Well…

That would destroy his ‘pacifist life’, right?

He did tell Franklin that he quit as soon as they got kidnapped though because this man was a magnet for trouble and the pay wasn’t worth all these.

Relax.

Desmond knew Franklin would live a long life.

He just doesn’t want to be part of it.

Oh, look, it was the Assassin from before.

Huh.

He looked different.

Doesn’t matter to Desmond.

Goodbye, Franklin. Thank you for the letter of recommendation!

.

Good news! He got his own bakery!

The rent was cheap and the neighborhood was alright.

Things were looking good.

.

Bad news! The landlord apparently died and the new landlord is a dick.

The rent has gone up.

Desmond’s bakery was still doing good so he can take the hit.

He’d just have to postpone any experiments he has planned to make pastries and bread he remembered from his time but don’t exactly remember the ingredients for now.

.

Well, fuck.

His bakery has apparently gotten the attention of Washington.

Why?

He has no idea.

But if he was going to make a guess. Some of Franklin’s servants would regularly buy bread from him so that old man must have been talking to some people.

But seriously.

Why the hell was Washington even buying bread himself?

Doesn’t he have servants to do that for him?

It… does not bode well for the future of Desmond’s bakery.

.

As he had expected…

So asshole landlord was loyal to the British Crown and, since it appeared that George Washington was now a fucking regular (what is this life, seriously???), that must mean Desmond was one of them.

Oh, for fuck’s sake!

And now he’s getting evicted without even getting his goddamn stuff?

Oh, to hell with that.

“What are you doing?”

Desmond turned to stare at Ratonhnhaké:ton who was suddenly standing just behind him, watching him dangle with one leg on the other side of the window of his no-longer-his bakery.

“Uuuhh… I’m not robbing the place?”

Ratonhnhaké:ton just stared at him.

“My asshole landlord kicked me out without letting me pack my things and chained the doors so I can’t get in.”

“I see… Would you like me to retrieve the key then?”

Tempting.

Desmond was pretty sure if he just adds a bit of waterworks, he can ask Ratonhnhaké:ton to beat the crap out of that asshole for him.

Again, Desmond was trying to be a pacifist this time around.

So violence doesn’t count if he’s not the one throwing hands.

“Nah. He’d just come back and get some goons to kick me out again…”

Desmond paused for a moment before he asked…

“If you have the time… mind helping me pack my entire life into small sad boxes?”

“I will find a big box we can use.”

“Thank you-” Desmond stopped himself before he could say Ratonhnhaké:ton’s name. He smiled as he asked, “What’s your name? If you’re helping me do some B&E, we should atleast know each other’s name. My name’s Desmond.”

“Connor.” Ratonhnhaké:ton replied.

“Okay, Connor.” Desmond said, although it felt a bit awkward not calling him by his real name, “Thanks.”

.

Desmond’s entire life fitted a small wagon that can easily be carried by a donkey.

Was that sad?

Or was this a sign that he was a minimalist?

To be fair, most of his belongings were stuff he used for baking.

Desmond sighed, “Guess I have to look for a new place to set up shop now.”

Maybe he’d cash in on Washington’s weird favoritism and rent a place with a landlord who hates the monarchy.

“I might know a place.” Ratonhnhaké:ton said as he stared at Desmond, “If you have no other place to go… perhaps…”

Was he…

Oh, he was asking Desmond to go to the homestead.

Well…

To be fair…

The homestead would definitely be peaceful.

Profit would probably not be as good as how it was here in the city though.

Then again…

It was never about the profit anyway.

Desmond turned to grin at Ratonhnhaké:ton as he said, “I’d love to.”

.

Peace.

This was what Desmond wanted.

Waking up early, making freshly baked bread for the people of the homestead.

Spending a few minutes with each one just to talk about how yesterday went.

Checking the surrounding areas for things he could use as ingredients for his experiments.

Making sure his garden was thriving and waiting for the fruits and vegetables that he’d use on his experiments.

Giving sweetbreads and puddings to his little visitors who always bring him berries and other ingredients they find or their parents give them in exchange for the snack.

Ah.

This was the life.

(I tried to make this sound like Desmond’s ranting without turning it to 1st POV. I hope it was okay XD)

Me as vampire in Twilight <3

Oh boy I‘ve always wanted to see what kinda aesthetic I would have in Twilight. So I‘m making myself a little thingy thangy for my „Y/N“😭

Basic information:

Name: Roxanne Juliet Wittelsbach/Cullen

Nickname: Roxy (everyone), R.J (Emmett), Sucker (Jacob), Jewel (Esme and Carlisle), Juliet (Jasper), RoRo (Alice)

Age when thurned: 19 (1679)

Born: 1660

Reason of turning/dying: Plague

Aesthetic before turning:

Aesthetic after turning:

Her appearance:

She has black, wavy hair that reaches her waist

She‘s also seen wearing her hair in a high ponytail

Her eyes were dark brown as human, reddish/dark pink as a newborn, golden/yellow as vampire and black when thirsty.

She‘s 5‘6 tall.

Her skin is very pale (just as the other cullens).

She still has a little scar on her knee from the day she fell off her horse.

Personality:

She‘s a very confusing one. Sometimes you can‘t foresee what she‘s gonna do next. Wherever she is, there‘s also chaos. Rox is pretty much both, a lady and a freak - at least when it comes to fighting lmao.

Carlisle does get worried about her since she doesn‘t always follow the „household“ rules, means she sometimes goes hunting for human blood and that‘s where she‘s really good at.

However she is a very joyful and loving being who loves to be creative and help her siblings out (unless it‘s a stupid reason).

There‘s often episodes of her tRaGic background story, no just kidding. She often has nightmares about the time she got thrown onto the mountain of sick people. Seeing people die like that, was quite traumatising to her.

Skills:

She enjoys riding horses, hunting, expressing her creativity, shopping - especially with Alice, tarot reading and dancing.

Habits:

To control her thirst, she carries a bunch of lollipops in her bags and pockets - it‘s life saving.

She‘s daydreaming quite often

Friendships/Relationships:

Carlisle and Esme were her first two to ever find her under a bridge, that‘s how she got to the Cullen clan.

She‘s getting along very well with her adoptive siblings, especially with Emmett and Alice. Em is something like her real big brother who constantly keeps an eye on her.

Also she‘s very thankful to have Jasper who teaches her how to control herself, despite him having some troubles with it himself, though he‘s doing his best. And that‘s what makes him a good role model. Once the black haired girl even confessed her little crush on him, but he rejected her as kind as possible, because obviously he loved Alice. She accepted, even though it still hurts her.

Rosalie is a little thorn in her eye but there‘s always that one sibling who causes trouble, right? After an argument she‘d ask the blonde if she‘d like to go shopping lmao.

Edward is pretty much the only one who has a normal relationship with her. They‘re awkward sometimes but Ed is the one brother who sits down and helps her study, explains alot about living with humans, etc.

Roxanne isn‘t- ..hasn’t been the greates Bella fan. BUT the day she beat Emmet in arm wrestling was absolutely everything. She even calls Bella „Mom“ as a joke.

Jacob..oh boy. The first time she despised dogs. They have a very tough time together. That‘s the reason why Emmett is always near her. They can‘t stand each other but from time to time, there would be VERY weird tension between them, even if it‘s just staring at each other in disgust from miles away.

Quotes:

„I‘m not searching, I find.“

„I try to follow rules, but I‘m better at breaking them“

„I‘ll make it look like an accident.“

„What‘s the prob? Dog.“

„I need a houndred dreamcatchers in my room because of you.“

„The cards never lie.“

[transhoverfish]

I had this question in my mind for few days now but.. how many AUs have you made up for both Subnautica games?

I'm really curious because I started writing down all the ones that ever came on my mind (I have twelve now) - I wrote them into a Word document and some even have a description

I mean like the medieval, college.. any kind of au

hmmm actually i don't have that many? wait no nevermind. i just counted there's at least 8 counting survivors KABDKABFOHA

ANYWAYS here's a brief rundown of all my aus! once again long post so its under a read more. because by brief i mean at least a paragraph per au because im bad at being brief.

survivors

so this is the au im currently writing for! degasi lives, avery lives, various aurora crew live and they save the planet from the kharra a few times and raise some sea emp babies. big found family and some literal just family. some murder on the side too but that's not important found family only. probably the only one of this list that's ever to be properly written and finished.

melon and the coconut + dreamland

avery/bart centrenic au, partly based on an alteration of survivors where only they live. bart lives in his own fantasy of different outcomes to events, dreaming of something else. avery grows distant and bitter with bart's unwillingness to accept what's happened, and starts to blame him for everything. eventually the two drift apart so much that they barely interact, and avery leaves bart's base to build his own. bart never goes after him, and avery never purposely looks for him again. i got obsessed with glass animals + specifically these two songs so i daydreamed an au up. saddest out of all these i think :(

keen au

its keen sole survivor au babey!! according to 🌟realism🌟 most ppl don't live if they pass out for longer than like an hour (that does not include sitting in a small area w a fire and smoke for 3+ hours) so ryley uhhh Dies. keen doesn't go back to the aurora w/ yu and ends up being the only survivor. bc im a sucker for bart lives that might be a thing, perhaps not, it depends on my mood half way through.

ghost au

main plot of game with only on the crater, but everyone else is a ghost now and haunt ryley. ghosts can see ryley, ryley can see ghosts, ghosts cannot see each other, although they can occasionally hear each other if the people in question were close before they died. mostly just subnautica but ryley befriends dead people.

horror au

survivors but like….. mutations with WAY WORSE consequences and all the effects of the kharra that i forgot about. did you know the kharra causes aggression? because i did not. its mentioned in like 1 log and i totally forgot. living in complete isolation for 10 years and believing everyone you know is dead, and blaming yourself for the future deaths u know are coming? being able to hear a goddamn mile around you at all times while still having mostly the same normal human eardrums? being able to stop yours and others hearts AT ANY TIME WITH NO CONTROL OVER THIS AT ALL?

these powers fuck them up a lot more in this variation. also ocean scary. but mostly mutations and kharra and everything messes up everything for everyone.

paul fucking dies au

everything's the same up until the landslide at the first island base, where the degasi were inside when that giant boulder crashed into it. bart and marg escape but paul dies. whoops! never thought too hard about this one but marg probably makes all decisions, they explore further, maybe meet sea mama?? and stop the aurora + sunbeam from crashing?? hmmmm. but yeah just paul dies faster.

degasi in arctic au

the entire degasi ends up floating out to sector zero and marg is not alone! bart adopts preston. that is literally all i've thought about in this au, the base premise of it and bart adopts a dog.

evil bart au

bart….. but no longer Baby. bart is now Feral and Rabid. kind of a bad title bc hes not like, intentionally evil, but he makes some fucked up decisions and ppl die. basically the very original plot of survivors where bart gets obsessed with finding sea mama and curing the planet that Nothing Will Stop Him. destroys precursor stuff to stop the others from interacting w it and finding out anything, specifically lets micah and beatrix die bc they spoke out about him too much, probably lets danby die instead of helping him, probably partly responsible for paul's death similar to the very first degasi logs. havent thought about it in a long while so i dont remember much about it other than bart was evil. not rlly an au as opposed to a strange character choice for him that i ended up not liking, so prob the only one on here ill def never write out but hey figured id list it anyways

and i think that's all?? all of the ones i could remember or bothered to write down at least lol. got me a big list!!! :o

[mvrleymk]

( cis female | she/her | haley lu richardson ) —— isn’t that marlene mckinnon? yeah that is them, sitting there at the gryffindor table with those other sixth years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees rolled up sleeves of an oversized sweater, broken in combat boots, copious amounts of coffee, handwritten notes, quiet rebellion, and sneaking out to watch the sunrise. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty quick witted, naive, and patient. apparently they’re a member of ‘for the light’ and halfblood but i’m sure that’s not related. ——

i’m not perfect, but i’m grateful, and that’s just perfect, and that’s me.

tw: abuse mention

Background info !

so growing up not only the youngest but the youngest girl in her family meant she was both babied and forced to follow her loving parents rules. basically their sibling order is two older brothers (both gryffindor probs but could be ravenclaw or hufflepuff too), an older sister (slytherin), older brother (gryffindor probably (ooo wc)), and marlene. 

marlene never felt like she was in her sibling’s shadows though, she got along really well with all of them, looking up to her younger older brother and sister like crazy, until her parents decided to kick out her sister for finally having it with the ridicule over her house. she’s definitely closest to the brother one who’s a year older than her, which might’ve been their parents intention

she always found herself outside with her brothers, making claims that she was going to be the next chaser for the heidelberg harriers when they let her tag along with their games of quidditch in the yard.

one thing she’s always done, almost to a fault, is try to please people. especially her parents. so she sort of adopted some of the traits and things her older siblings did that she noticed her parents approved of.

when her sister was sorted into a house her parents labeled as “bad” she didn’t want to think that it meant her sister was, she just ignored it and whenever she tried to defend her she was met with physical consequences from her father.  

marlene was absolutely ecstatic when she was able to go to hogwarts like the rest of her siblings and was excited to be there with two of her siblings for a little while. she still didn’t see any of the houses as inherently bad, but her parents sat her down and told her that if the house thinks about putting her in slytherin to tell it no. 

once she was sorted into gryffindor, she was easily swept up into all of it, carrying the house traits, colors, and ego with her even if she had to water it down at times, absolutely loving every moment of it, especially with her brother only a year above her.

her father absolutely hates that she even associates with anyone in the slytherin house and doesn’t hesitate showing that distaste with his daughter. 

marlene found solace in her friends from the tension at home, they were a nice distraction from how much it upset her that she could only do so much to keep her family happy and together.a lot of the time she often asks them to go spend time with her over the summer, as both a way to see them before school starts again but also a reason she can avoid her parents. 

About !

she’s always been a really easy going person and even if she wasn’t happy, wants to make other people smile and feel like someone cares about them

marlene always wants to see the good in people and give them a chance, regardless of what she’s heard about them, knowing that first impressions aren’t always the right one

really she just loves people and talking and making others laugh

she has big ambition that flip flops around all the time. she’ll just back and forth from wanting to be a professional chaser in quidditch to working with the ministry to st. mungo’s all in the span of an hour, but if you ever ask she’ll make you believe it’s what she’s deadset on

a BIG scatterbrain, but still manages to get it all together last minute

she’s generally really nice but can she pack a punch, she’s got some tricks up her sleeve behind her bright smile

she talks. a LOT. but it’s just because her mind is constantly going a mile a minute and she feels like if she were to ever stop talking and voicing her thoughts she’d get lost in them so she just speaks to keep her head clear. 

Wanted Connections !

give me literally anything, I’m here for it all. you know me, i live for angst.

Which AU is ur favorite & yeet me all the juicy deets abt that AU

//Currently, my favorite AU is the Angel/Demon AU, though overall, probably the Royal AU.

Angel/Demon AU

Characters:

Huutsuu/Emily (Imp)

Colonneh/Angel (Incubus)

Naduah (Demon (Idk what kind yet)

Onacona (Idk what he’s gonna be, but probs another Demon)

Alex (Human, Magic user of some kind)Miles (Fallen Angel)

Andrew (Fallen Angel)

Assorted others, unnamed mostly because I’m a mess

Emily’s abilities as an Imp include, but are not necessarily limited to: Flying, turning invisible for short periods of time, changing size and shaped (she can change into a small, feathered lizard-like creature, a small bird, and a human child) and small acts of magic used for mischief.Emily is a feathered Imp with brown wings and a feathered tail.

Imps are seen (at best) as pests by most other demonic creatures, so they usually have fairly short life spans consisting mostly of harassing humans/angels and running from demons. Emily was found by Angel after she was caught stealing from him, and he sort of just adopted this random child as a sister and brought her home with him.

Naduah is the master of a decent-sized bit of territory on the border of demonic and neutral ground. She and Onacona are still together in this AU, and Angel is her son. She and Onacona both gladly take Emily in.

Emily likes to wander, but she knows to stay close to her family’s estate and in the bounds of her mother’s territory. She often reports interesting bits of information she overhears to Naduah, like in the last drabble where she witnessed goods being stolen.

Angel met Alex during some exploit or other on earth and fell for him. Demon/human pairings aren’t unheard of, but they’re not really considered officially acceptable. Angel’s status as Naduah’s son and his perceived nature as an Incubus garnered him some lee way with those who know about him and Alex, but he still tries to keep it under wraps.

Andrew and Miles fell from Paradise. I don’t have the reason nailed down just yet, but I’m leaning toward one too many pranks or being the products of a relationship between and Angel and something else. Fallen Angels are considered very dangerous and are usually not allowed to live. Because the two are so young, they were chased into known Demonic territory before being left alone. The idea was that if they weren’t killed by Demons, they’d die of exposure.

Angel finds the two before much of anything can happen to them and offers to take them somewhere safe (Alex). Andrew is injured and can’t walk, and neither can fly without attracting attention, so they agree, much to Miles distaste.

At some point, Emily runs into Alex while fleeing a Demon and their Hell Hounds. Because she’s an Imp and therefore has much less power than most Demonic creatures in the area, she is able to force her way through Alex’s magic barrier and escape. She doesn’t know about Alex’s relationship with Angel yet, and Alex doesn’t know enough about her to know Emily is Angel’s sister. He does, however, find out she’s a demon. Alex offers to help her until she can get home safely.

I don’t really have an in-depth timeline yet, but the basic gist is this:

Naduah comes into power, gaining a realm of her own, with her partner, Onacona, by her side.

A few decades later, Angel is born.

A few centuries later, Angel finds Emily.

3 or 4 decades later, Angel meets Alex.

Unknown amount of time later (I’m undecided) Andrew and Miles fall and are rescued by Angel

That’s the timeline thus far. This AU is still in development. I’ll make a separate post for the Royal AU, as this one is already getting long and I am needed elsewhere. I may also make another post for this AU, with more information, later.

Also, aspects of this AU were developed with the help of @texass-shenanigans , so big thanks there!

[ jesus castro, he/him, 29 ] pietro maximoff has been spotted in gotham city! the hero is publicly known as quicksilver, and have often been described as determined, but also arrogant. they have also been affiliated with the avengers, and said to mainly operate in new york city. will they help find answers, or add to the chaos? [ han, she/her, 23, mst ]

triggers: childhood trauma , kidnapping , experimentation , HYDRA mentions , minor violence , auschwitz mentioned , mental illness , death. 

hey fam !! here’s my fast boi , pietro maximoff. i love him bunches. 

so first things first: he is comics based with mcu tie-ins. and comics before marvel ruined his backstory by making him not actually erik and magda’s son and not a mutant. can u tell i love my son and hate what marvel has done to him ? keep on reading to find out. 

pietro was born in the wundagore mountains to magda eisenhardt , a romani woman that magneto met and fell in love with. ( she survived auschwitz because of him i stan ). although pietro and wanda didn’t know it at the time and wouldn’t for many years , erik lehnsherr / magneto / max eisenhardt was their father. magda didn’t stay around for very long , though. not long after , magda fled into the woods with the fear that her husband would find her. pietro and his twin sister would soon enough be given to the maximoff’s , a romani couple who lived down the mountain and had always wanted children. ( note: while pietro was both raised romani and is romani in heritage , a lot of it was lost to him after his adopted parents died which was when he was quite young. he does want to make sure his daughter knows about it and where she comes from but he’s not an expert since everyone from the romani side of his family is dead. )

he was literally that obnoxious older brother but he’s also hella protective and loyal ? he’s a bit of an ass . scratch that , he is 100% an asshole :’)

pietro and his twin , wanda , were raised in transia / sokovia by the maximoff’s , who were an amazing couple and even better parents. eventually , their “ adoptive “ father , django , began to steal food so that he could feed his family. enraged villagers attacked the ( romani ) camp they were living in. pietro was able to get him and wanda out , thankfully , but the trauma from that event was so severe that they wouldn’t be able to recall anything from their childhood for years and not even small details. they had nothing. they’d then travel across europe , fending for themselves and only relying on each other. the streets were really hard. they were hungry and tired on most days and pietro would steal food and warm clothes with his powers but wanda would always say he would get caught one day. ( he didn’t ).

one day , wanda accidentally caused a house to burst into flame through her hex powers , which she could not yet control. superstitious townspeople began chasing her. pietro would try his best to protect and defend her but they were outnumbered and overpowered. thankfully , magneto ( dad !!! ) came to their rescue. they would then join the brotherhood of evil mutants , feeling like they had to serve him since he saved them from what would have been horrible mob violence.

when magneto was defeated in a battle against some powerful guy who took him away from earth , pietro and wanda took it as their chance to leave and went back to transia / sokovia / whatever it’s being called now.

( mcu tie ins ) pietro and wanda were kidnapped by HYDRA ( aka not willingly joining HYDRA ) and experimented on with one of the infinity stones , which only augmented their powers. the second HYDRA fell , they left it and joined ultron ( pietro blaming tony stark for the reason why sokovia / transia was in such turmoil due to seeing stark industries on a shell that hit their home that trapped pietro and wanda for nearly two days ). at some point the twins allied themselves with the avengers and also joined them and fought against ultron , who they had previously sided with. 

pietro was injured in the battle against ultron and almost died and so he stayed with the inhumans for awhile. he formed a relationship with crystalia amaquelin , princess of the inhumans. the whole thing was somewhat forbidden since he’s not an inhuman but they soon enough got married. it was p rushed, which is super on brand for pietro. they eventually had their daughter , luna and ? not only did he find out that magneto is his dad during this time but pietro’s a dick and almost killed her by putting her in the terrigensis ( this was much later on , not right after she was born omg ) but hey , she got powers so ! he’s never been the best dad , honestly ? he’s run away from a lot of responsibility , even stuff that wasn’t luna related lol. but he’s trying ? ( with pietro’s age , luna is about ? 5-6 years old. his lil princess. )

the relationship that pietro had with crystal would become rocky due to pietro’s mind being elsewhere and not paying all that much attention to his wife. crystal would then cheat on pietro ,,,, ( note: crystal left some other guy for pietro sksksk ) pietro wouldn’t forgive her and “ vowed vengeance on her and all those he perceived as having wronged him “ but !! crystal’s cousin , maximus , was manipulating his mind and augmenting pietro’s anger towards crystal which was prob meant more for the avengers. he did a lot of dumb shit during this time basically. moreso than usual. but he wasn’t in control of himself or what he was doing so really ? it wasn’t his fault. 

pietro and crystal had a messy relationship after that. they’d reconcile , get back together , breakup , fight , get back together , fight together , etc. it was a messy relationship for awhile. 

pietro lost his powers for a bit and ,,, it was hard fam he was actually depowered due to m day but i’m just saying he lost his powers w/o m day since it’s a big part of him

honestly !! pietro was in a pretty horrible state at this time. he was taken to attila which is basically inhumans hq , where his medical injuries were taken care of. pietro couldn’t stand being human so much that he underwent terrigensis even though king black bolt said no since it can kill u ! wtf u doing pietro !! he then started to plan a way to steal and bring the terrigensis crystals to earth. pietro ,,, no. angel boi. slow down u gonna kill everyone. 

then he made his daughter undergo terrigen ,,,, which could’ve killed her since nobody knew if her inhumans genes would just cancel out her mutant ones.

lots of shit happened ,,,, its just 2 much 

pietro was then put in jail and while there he had a serious of hallucinations. o boi

but ig it was also the end of his episode , u could call it ?? his powers were restored and he rediscovered his desire to be a hero !!

pietro recovered the remaining terrigenesis crystals returning them to the inhumans and clearing his name of criminal charges through a lie that a skrull committed all of his felonies. 

he joined all new x-factor which was his half-sister’s x-men team !

he actually just claimed to have a falling out with the avengers ,,, which wasn’t rly tru ,,, lorna’s ex bf , alex summers , just wanted pietro to spy on her sksksk 

but like ? pietro in x-factor with lorna was one of the best things marvel could’ve done. just siblings working together and on a team together who usually never interact. goals. ( might lowkey have a thing for a certain cajun mutant ) 

he taught at avengers academy for a hot second !

he’s paid a ton of money for luna to go to a fancy school in england which she eventually just ,,, ran away from lmfao

he’s a hero. but he also doesn’t pay much attention to authority and if he thinks someone is wrong and he’s right then he’ll follow his own path and ignore everyone else. he’s tried to repower mutants with the inhuman crystals and continued to do so after mutants got sick and some even died. while that’s not really canon it does give a good insight to who pietro is. he’s not bad and most of his bad ideas do have good intentions. 

he’s been off and on with the avengers for awhile and never stays with them for extended periods of time but they all mean a great deal to him. he loves many of the founding / returning members and cares more for them than he’d ever care to admit. 

pietro once ran 300+ miles so he could punch erik in the face lol [ x ]

pietro is in gotham to see what’s going on ? he also has luna while crystal is away doing stuff. so single dad pietro ! he’s never been alone with luna for more than a few days before ! it’ll be fun ! 

tldr; pietro is messy, an asshole and a drama queen but he’s trying HIS BEST.

Chimp trekking (Rwanda retrospective)

After learning so much about its dark recent history, we left Kigali ready to enjoy Rwanda. They call Rwanda the land of a thousand hills but they seem to have miscounted by an order of 10. The scenery is unbelievable and along with New Zealand (and Scotland, obvs) it is easily one of the most beautiful countries we’ve ever visited. It is all verdant hills and valleys, the whole country looks like the set from a King Kong movie.  

Our first stop out of Kigali (pronounced Chigali .. don’t want you embarrassing yourself with mispronunciation when you go) was Nungwe Forest. The first big plus of Nungwe was the first time in 6 weeks we hadn’t been disgustingly sweaty...it was really nice to have reprieve from the heat and give our sweat glands a well deserved break.  

We arrived there and went to the national parks office where a man did a terrible job, in both French and English, of explaining to us the different hikes and accommodation on offer. We booked various stuff by basically closing our eyes and pointing.

We did two hikes in Nungwe Forest, the first was down a gorge to a lovely waterfall. The funniest thing about this hike was that we were joined by a two women who were half-sisters. One Congolese and the other Rwandan-Italian but raised in Flemish Belgium. The Belgian one referred to her sister as “my ugly half sister” to which the other sister roared with laughter, which seemed slightly odd to us. These two were loud (most people we have met so far have been very reserved) and warm, inviting us to their homes in both the Congo and Belgium, offering to arrange accommodation for us and transport.

Our first hike started and finished in a huge tea plantation, that rolled for miles. Once we finished the hike we noticed a lovely looking series of buildings, our guide told us this was a fancy hotel. So we sauntered over to take a look and perhaps get a post walk drink. The hotel was incredible: a beautiful boutique hotel that wouldn’t have looked out of place in New York nevermind in the middle of a plantation, in the middle of the rain forest, in the middle of Africa. We walked in to this serene place of understated beauty muddy, smelly and loudly. We were as out of place as Julia Robert’s hooker in Pretty Woman going to that fancy store on Rodeo Drive.

The manager quickly appeared and tried to, literally, shoo us away like we were feral cats. Apparently this place didn’t take walk-ins, or just not riff-raff like us. Five metres inside the building and clearly not welcome I was ready to just leave but our two new bolshy friends were having none of it. I watched the hilarious sight of them whirlwind their way through the place screeching about how beautiful it was, taking selfies and loudly asking for brochures whilst being trailed by the polite jobsworth who was losing her rag and pleading for them to leave. In the end she was practically begging them to vacate the building. For information he cost of a stay is over $1000 per night, so probs one for the next trip.  

The main reason to go to Nungwe Forest is for chimp trekking. The only problem is that we didn’t have a car which is required to get you and your guide to the trail head. So we had to find a) other tourists (we hadn’t seen any), b) tourists with a car with space and c) tourists with a car, with space that also wanted to go chimp trekking the next day. We went hunting for mzungus in the other guest house (as there were none in ours). As we were eating lunch two men walk in, our eyes focused on our marks. “Oh hi there” I say in my friendliest brogue, “per chance you don’t happen to be going chimp trekking tomorrow?” Sure enough they were and due to the awesome power of social convention and human politeness they didn’t/couldn’t say no to our request despite clearly wanting to. The next day we woke at 4am to begin our trek. After a bumpy ride we reached the trail head in a different part of the forest.

We start walking through the dense forest and then our guide leads us off the track into the thicket. At this point it feels like a proper adventure as we follow our guide who is making a path using a machete. We are all falling a slipping all over the show when suddenly you start hearing this cacophony of screeches and hoots, unmistakably chimp like. We then find the spotters, a group of guides who had been in the forest since the crack of dawn tracking the chimps.

Prior to the trek I had visions of our interaction, it went something like this: through the mist we see the chimps. Hark! My eyes meet those of the dominant male in an awesome moment of interspecies connection. The chimp realise that I am a particularly sensitive and worthy human and so cautiously (yet determinedly) comes over to me. He climbs upon me and starts grooming me, thereby instantly adopting me into his troop and his newest wife.

Unfortunately it didn’t quite work out like this - the chimps kept their distance and it started raining heavily. So as we got pissed on while watching chimp like silhouettes move through the trees at a not inconsiderable distance. While it may not have been the close encounter that I was hoping for it still was special - particularly hearing the chimps’ squeals and shouts echo through the forest and seeing chimp mamas nurse their babies.

We enjoyed our hike and got back to our accommodation to relax. A snag was that, as a result of the poor explanation of the man in the tourist office (see above), the place we had been staying at was not the best. First off they served the worst food we have ever had the misfortune to consume. The nadir was a plate of vegetarian pasta, how bad could pasta and veg be? On the plus side it did appear to be pasta but the sole vegetable was some kind of green slurge of unknown provenance that was so bitter it resembled vomitus. Needless to say it made us boke. The other feature of this hole was that the en suite toilet (the feature that made us book it) was, to say the least, malfunctioning. Our room was cold, damp room reeked of raw sewage. We moved and the next morning we left Nungwe forest to make our way to Lake Kivu.
