AAAAAA its so cool that our ages line up w that!

I'm gonna try to be brief lol. Also hi this is a sideblog for my superhero paracosm aka where I dumped my old mcu paras.

The plot changed around a lot but the basic idea was that HYDRA somehow got DNA from the main 6 Avengers and made clones of them. For one reason or another, the clones escape and eventually wind up at SHIELD, where they're taken in and given semi normal lives. These are my original test tube babies 😭

The new plot (aka the one in this paracosm) is relatively the same, except instead of HYDRA its this organization called "Arcaynis" that does all sorts of weird experiments ... tbh even though I don't focus on them much now, they're still pretty paracosm-important/relevant bc goddamn does Arcaynis do a lot of fuckery. Fuck Arcaynis all my homies hate Arcaynis.

JORDAN STARK (THEY/THEM)

I actually still daydream about them fairly frequently! They're part of a different paracom now, but still have origins in Assembled Monsters.

Being a clone of Tony Stark/Iron Man, they don't really have powers. They're more of a "guy behind the chair" person yknow. But! They were usually the one to kickstart the clones escaping. Wait sometimes they had electricity and super speed. Idk why stop asking questions. The power of ✨imagination✨

Oh they have a prosthetic arm! Yeah Rex/Laz ripped it off when they were about 6ish. Fun times.

REX (HE/HIM) & LAZARUS BANNER (HE/HIM)

Clone of Bruce Banner/The Hulk ... idk how HYDRA managed to get the "two for one" deal, but they did! I always waffled on if they were the same person or were more like the Jekyll/Hyde situation that Bruce had.

Despite Tony being my favorite, Rex — and Laz, I guess — were usually the focus/main characters of the daydreams I had back then. By now they're basically AM's poster child 😭

Rex is radioactive! His blood, sweat, & other bodily fluids are acidic and actual biohazards. Rip buddy.

Laz is a cannibal. Technically. He's not human (clone + can transform into this giant...wolf cat thing idk i never finalized their "hulk" form ig). This does cause problems for him & Rex but they come to a deal where Laz can only eat "bad" people aka criminals and whoever SHIELD deems an enemy.

MAXINE ROMANOV (SHE/HER)

Clone of Natasha Romanov/Black Widow.

For some reason she has telepathy! This makes more sense now bc magic just kinda exists in MaaC/all my paracosms but back then I didn't have an explanation it was just sort of a thing.

Close w Rex! I guess this reflects how Bruce & Nat's relationship progressed in the movies ... BUT tbh I based most of everything off of the 2012 Avengers & Age of Ultron, a lootttt of stuff was cut out. 2012!MCU was an ERA im sure you remember.

But anyway, she was paired with Rex in order to control him bc his abilities were ... unstable, to say the least. But they're good friends, both then and now. She's basically his sister?

The others weren't as important tbh, but yknow. I still love them.

Christine Rogers, Steve Rogers/Cap's clone. Steve & Bucky adopt her! Stucky was also a thing I think idk. Probably.

Brandon Odinson, Thor's clone. He was taken in by Jane.

Zethri Barton, Clint/Hawkeye's clone. For some reason he was aquatic/like a siren? Idk it was the Clint in Vents Era, did we ever find something for that man to do.

Khole & Lorelai, also Bruce's clones and technically Rex's "siblings". Tho fun fact, their "birth order" goes: Khole, Rex, Lorelai. So. Rex is a middle child 😭😭

Holly Rose, who was just a girl w plant powers idk where she came from but she was there sometimes! She was kinda like the team mom I think.

And then I think there was Kit, a clone of Dr. Strange? She was connected to Strange somehow but I forgot. Probably related to him somehow lbr.

hi this is random but I love that you have marvel/mcu fictparas! I used to have an MCU paracosm when I was younger (the mcu had a chokehold on me from like ages 8-15). I still have some original paras from that time...kind of. I think about them sometimes lmao but they do exist in the background of my paracosms. guess what im tryna say is mcu our beloved <3 (also please give tony a hug for me he was my dad fr 😭)

OMGGGGG!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME ABSOLUTELY SCREAMING??? I can't believe we have that in common!!! MCU our beloved, indeed <333

I started getting into the MCU at about 13(?), and that's when I introduced it into my paracosm, so even our ages kind of line up, lmao! I'd love to hear about your paras, though! Even though they're background characters now, I think that's so cool that they stuck around since then!!!

And, of course I'll give Tony a hug for you! This makes for great timing, too, seeing as he just won the Hunger Games, so I'm sure he's in a pretty good mood, hehehe!

(Also, he is such a great dad, frfr! And I'm saying this as someone who literally had to fight him for custody of Peter, lmaooo!)

If I had a nickel for every time a main TOS character is said to be married/engaged only for it to never be mentioned in the show again, I’d have 4 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened 4 times

I wanna see Christine Chapel fall in love with Roger Korby in the next season of Strange New Worlds.

[anewstartrekfan]

Chapel in Strange New Worlds S3 after coming back from her fellowship confessing to Uhura she never broke up with Korby but is still dating Spock:

[personal-blog243]

I have never been sexually abused, but I’ve been thinking about how it’s weirdly hard to get people to care about sexual abuse or other crimes unless it fits a certain narrative or perpetuates a pre-existing bigotry….

. if you acknowledge sexual abuse in the film/tv industry then anti semitic people will say it’s because Jewish people control Hollywood 🙄.

. If you acknowledge sexual abuse in the music industry then people will focus on the black men in rap music and perpetuate racist stereotypes

. Sexual abuse in the Catholic Church is now more widely known, but there are still people who will use that to feed into religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants and perpetuate conspiracy theories. Abuse in Protestant groups and in other religions has yet to be covered in the same way.

. LGBT people are disproportionately likely to be victims of abuse but are being called groomers???

. People blame cases of incest on if they are from the American south 🙄

. Most cases of abuse are against children, but also FULLY GROWN ADULT WOMEN have also been speaking about sexual misconduct for SEVERAL DECADES and are still being blamed on their clothing and called “unlikable” for making a fuss 😤

It’s just so sad that at least one of these narratives always pops up whenever a man can actually even get convicted which is still rare. When will people realize that the root of this is problem is hierarchy of power and not whatever group of people you don’t like.

Something that I want in SNW season 3 is to fall in love with Roger Korby.

I want my consent concerns of Christine as his student removed (maybe they met and fell in love before they knew each other’s names?).

I want the man he was before the machine he became to be kind and witty and fun and smart and a wonderful partner for Christine.

I want Christine’s future mourning for Roger to make sense as their could-have-been shone bright and beautiful.

I want so many of my long-held beliefs about this character to be upended as we truly meet him for the first time.

I want to be your Rodger Rabbit

You would be Roger The Fifth (I have a habit of breaking my toys)

As long as you are not as loud as Rogers 2 and 3.

You're funny. How many batteries do you require, Wiseass?

SMH One of those days.

What If...? 2x09 - What If... Strange Supreme Intervened?

[samnotsammy12]

Roger Korby makes my skin crawl

Also when he’s talking about how the androids have full physical sensation and Christine says ��how convenient”

And then he’s like “you don’t think I could possibly love an android” and she just goes “Did you?”

QUEEN SHIT

[quasi-normalcy]

I'm intrigued to see whether Strange New Worlds will actually show us anything of Roger Korby beyond just the fact that Christine gets engaged to him; because I know that, in the old novelverse, they established that Noonien Soong used the technology from the Exo III androids in designing Data and Lore, and I think that they could fairly easily tie this into the Soong family legacy arc and the "Higher Synthetics" arc from Picard season 1.

June of Doom 2024 Day 16 (@juneofdoom)

16. “At least it can’t get any worse.”          

| Secret | Stranded | Setback |

~

Christine Chapel and her fiancé reached their house completely out of breath. The door was quickly locked and all the necessary safety systems activated.

"What a race! And here I thought that dinner at the restaurant was the worst thing that was going to happen to us tonight," Christine moaned, leaning her head against the now locked door. "Well... At least it can't get any worse."

"I guess you're right, darling. But I really didn't think we'd make it in time."

When she heard Roger's voice behind her, Christine turned and gave the man a sad look.

"I just hope more people made it. The victims who are still alive at the end of the night and are brought to us in hospital are always so badly battered and usually have little chance of survival."

Even though it had been a few years since the so-called Blood Elite had been formed to decimate the crowds on the overcrowded Earth at irregular intervals, it was still a terrible thing.

The members of the group were personally selected by the government. Microchips were implanted in their brains, turning them into mindless slaves. They simply had to kill and could not resist the urge.

There were only a few people who were safe from the attacks. Old people who would soon die anyway. The few children who were allowed to be conceived, born and raised at a high price so that humanity itself would survive. All other humans were fair game and could and should be killed by the group, to which an incredible number of members belonged.

The warning signal, which some rebels had invented to alert the inhabitants of the small town where Christine and Roger lived to attacks by the Blood Elite, was the only hope many people had.

It was already part of their everyday lives. They went about their typical days and suddenly there was another attack.

"Hey, everything will be fine." Roger stepped quickly to his fiancée and pulled her into a hug and Christine snuggled tightly against him. Somehow the man's words didn't sound too sincere. There was a strange undertone to them, but Christine didn't hear it. She was just glad to be in his arms.

Roger was everything to her. He was her safe haven. He carried her through every difficult time. And she loved him more than anything.

"How about we have a nice glass of wine now and then go to bed, huh?"

Roger gently stroked a long strand of hair from Christine's beautiful face and gave her a kiss. Although he was smiling, there seemed to be something strangely sad in his gaze.

"That sounds like a good plan."

The path quickly led them into the living room, where Roger quickly pulled out two glasses and a bottle of wine, while Christine was already seated on the couch.

Roger quickly joined her and soon they were drinking their wine together and cuddling.

It was these normal, quiet moments that made Christine's life worth living and gave her hope. Maybe the rebels would win one day. Maybe one day they would live in a normal world again.

"Can ... I ask you something, Chris?"

Christine was surprised at how unusually cautious her otherwise so self-assured fiancé sounded.

"Of course. What's up?"

Roger didn't look at her, keeping his eyes fixed on the contents of his glass.

"Would you ... kill someone if that person wanted you to?"

Christine felt a strange sensation in the pit of her stomach and an icy shiver ran down her spine. What kind of strange question was that?

"Roger?"

Her fiancé finally looked at her.

"Would you?" he asked again. This time with a little more emphasis.

Christine looked at him uncomprehendingly and put her glass down on the table in front of her.

"I swore an oath and you know it," she said and she was surprised by the despair and sadness reflected on Roger's face when he heard those words.

"Yes. I know that, but –" Roger didn't finish the sentence. He ran a hand over his face and sighed heavily.

"What's wrong, Roger? Why are you asking me a question like that?" Christine became restless. The whole situation was making her uncomfortable.

It took a brief moment before Roger took her hands in his and squeezed them tightly. There were tears in his beautiful eyes.

"Christine, I ... I haven't told you something."

Her mouth went dry as she heard Roger's shaky voice. She shook her head slowly.

"Yesterday, some government employees came to our lab. They ... selected new members for the Blood Elite and ... I'm one of them."

Christine felt her throat constrict and hot tears stream down her cheeks.

"Roger, that –"

"Shhh." Her fiancé's finger found Christine's lips, silencing her. Roger swallowed hard before finding his voice again.

"The chip is already implanted. It will be activated tomorrow morning." Tears began to flow as Roger placed his hand on Christine's cheek and gently stroked the skin with his thumb. "There's nothing I can do about it. All I wanted was one last beautiful evening with you, my fiancée. That's why I kept it a secret from you. I'm so sorry."

Christine shook her head again and again. She just didn't want to believe it. It simply had to be a bad dream.

But the look in Roger's eyes said more than a thousand words and showed that he was telling the truth.

"I ... I'd kill myself, Chris, but ... I'm just so scared of it. And I know you know a lot about medication. Can ... can you mix me a lethal cocktail that will give me a gentle death?"

There were so many emotions in Roger's gaze. Despair, fear, sadness. But also hope. He hoped that his fiancée would grant him his last wish.

"I can't do that, Roger," she sobbed, "I just can't!"

"Please, Christine, I'm begging you! All I want is to fall asleep next to you and not wake up the next morning. I don't want to become a murderer. I ... I don't want to hurt you."

It wasn't fair. It was just too cruel a situation. And they both knew that. But when Christine saw the pleading look on her fiancé's face, she knew there was only one thing she could do.

She nodded. She would indeed do it. And Roger's grateful eyes were reason enough.

Together they got up from the couch and wandered into their bedroom. Christine's path first led her to the bathroom, from which she fetched some medication. She mixed a mixture that she knew would be impossible to survive ... and handed the glass to her fiancé. The man she loved so much. The man who gave her hope.

Roger drank a few sips before Christine and he lay down, their arms wrapped tightly around each other. The kisses they shared were the most tender they had ever had. They showed their love to each other one last time, saying how they felt over and over again.

And when Roger finally fell asleep, Christine did the only right thing. She took the glass and drank the rest.

Roger had always been her hope. And without him – without hope – she didn't want to continue this fight either.

Neither of them would wake up the next morning. They were free.

Christine Baranski knows how to make a statement on the red carpet, and she did just that at the Metropolitan Opera Opening Night Gala for ‘Grounded’ in New York City last night.

After the rave reviews she garnered for her Oscar de la Renta look at the Emmys, it’s no surprise she returned to the designer for yet another breathtaking moment. And let me tell you, lightning has indeed struck twice.

This time, Christine graced the red carpet in a stunning white off-the-shoulder gown that oozed sophistication. The design was everything you’d expect from Oscar de la Renta—elegant, timeless, and expertly tailored to Christine’s statuesque frame. It’s the kind of dress that commands attention without trying too hard, proving that sometimes simplicity is the most powerful fashion statement.

But what truly elevated this look were the accessories. Christine’s Wing & Weft opera gloves were a pitch-perfect choice for the evening, especially considering the venue. If there’s ever a place to lean into Old Hollywood glamour, it’s at the opera, and Christine did just that, pairing the gloves with a selection of dazzling Fred Leighton jewels. Her ability to channel classic elegance while keeping it modern is what makes her such a red carpet favourite.

I’m not the biggest fan of the style of clutch, but her Roger Vivier black accessories didn’t detract from the overall look.

If you’re curious about the back of the dress (because who isn’t?), take a peek at her stylist Cristina Ehrlich’s Instagram. The gown features a v-bow-accented back that cascades into a sweeping train, adding that extra layer of drama we all love from a red carpet moment.
