i need to remake my cup bros ref… both cup and human designs… it’s been almost a year(?) and i’ve developed the headcanons and i would like to share with the class!!! (i wrote thirty tags. Please help me)

[ct-hardcase]

maybe I'm off my rocker but I can see in a roundabout way how the inquisitor number system could be in induction order (to be clear, I don't put that much time into understanding it anymore, this is just the amalgamation of years of theories and being not normal). I'm assuming a lot based on headcanon and there are some asspulls/inconsistencies in there, but as follows, I think there are a few "cohorts" of inquisitors:

The First Brother through the Fifth Brother, to me, make up Cohort One. I assume Cohort One also is primarily made up of Inquisitors that were either volunteers, or assumed that they would be:

We don't know much about the First Brother, yet, but given his whole design and some verbal clues, I'm assuming he's a fanatic and was the first to turn, if not the first recruit as a whole.

I have a theory that Trilla was not originally supposed to be the Second Sister—Cere was, given her on-the-record doubts about the Jedi and her skill as a Seeker. However, Cere Junda, though she did think the Order was flawed, did not turn as easily as assumed. Trilla Suduri, who imo was originally a Tualon-esque bonus inquisitor, got the title after Cere made a break for it/it was clear she'd be harder to turn.

I also think that Reva Sevander was not the original holder of the Third Sister title. Barriss was. Though I'd assumed her to be the First Sister, she fits in this cohort's theme of "people the inquisitors believed to be voluntary recruits", and is the number most open to the type of replacement that I think happened with Reva and Trilla. After Barriss defects, the number remains open until Reva is recruited.

Given that the Fourth Sister was already acting as an Inquisitor at the time of Order 66, we can assume that she was an early, and voluntary, recruit.

Though the Fifth Brother is not on Nur with the rest of the aforementioned group, it's made clear through his internal monologue that he did not think highly of the Jedi, even before the Purge, and that his being an Artemesian could have set him up as a target for early recruitment. His flashback in the Inquisitors comic series also implies that he may have killed his Master during Order 66.

Cohort Two, if I had to define it, is made up of Inquisitors who were previously slated for the Inquisitorius, but needed more intense conditioning/torture before getting there, given that they were all present for Vader's introduction to the Inquisitorius. In my opinion, this is the Sixth Brother through the Ninth Sister.

The Sixth Brother's position here is an assumption, and it could go either way. However, there are narrative clues imo wrt him needing to go through the conditioning process (Ahsoka wondering who 'twisted his potential for good', his own 'but lord vader, we saved you' before the novel, etc.).

Though we don't know much about the Seventh Sister either, we can guess from Iskat's narration that she went through conditioning as well.

Much like the Sixth Brother, the Eighth Brother is an assumption. However, given his place with the other characters, we can guess that he needed more intense conditioning.

The Ninth Sister's initiation process has been extremely confirmed by her. "Torture, isolation, mutilation," says it all, I think.

This next cohort is more nebulous, since it's made up of characters I think had a variety of motives and levels of volunteerism. I'll go through my reasoning for why someone might have the number they do, but it starts to fall apart here.

The Tenth Brother, though I would thematically put him with Cohort One, may have taken longer to condition, or, like Cere, did not take to the idea of the Inquisitorius as well as expected. He was on Coruscant a short while after Order 66, but not with the group from Cohort Two (though I don't remember exactly when; I'd have to reread RotRB).

The Thirteenth Sister's higher number, I expect, comes from her taking longer to accept her Inquisitor title, even though she was a volunteer. Interestingly, she joined at about the time I'd guesstimate the Inquisitors from Cohort Two did, but she seems behind them, which confuses even Iskat narratively.

Tualon doesn't have a number, but given that he arrives on Nur after Iskat (who's on the later end as-is), I assume he's the Fourteenth Brother, or something close. I guesstimate he took longer than the Cohort Two Inquisitors given that he was not previously slated and needed more time to break.

Marrok I assume is Eleventh or Twelfth. He's a bit of an enigma, because other than the fact that he was on Nur at the outset of the Inquisitorius (making him the odd one out here) and a general deference to Vader, we don't know much about him when he's not a cloud of Nightsister Magick. Given where he is, I also assume he was a voluntary recruit, but have no clue why he wouldn't be grouped with Cohort One.

I haven’t seen the people I went to high school with since graduation. It’s been a long time. I don’t use Facebook or anything, and that’s really fine. But today I was thinking about some people I was fond of as a teen, and decided to google one or two of them. There was a girl who was always so nice, and we did theatre together, and I just really liked her. I think she went to Juilliard for dance. Turns out she died this past October. Cancer. I should not be this sad about someone I haven’t seen since I was seventeen.

The Avengers (1963) #35

[theshotsheardacrossworlds]

Really dumb idea for a scenario, Agni packing for the dawn trail adventure and Toddler Esme packing " essentials" aka all her stuff toys and Raymond the corgi much to Estinien's dismay

"Let's see...clothes and essentials for me and my grumpy dragon in here..." Agnes said, her brow furrowed as she stared into comically large suitcase. Plenty of fresh smalls. Can never have too many of those!

"'ummy! 'ummy!!!!" Esme squealed behind her. When Agnes saw her daughter, she barely held in a laugh. Esme had all her favorite stuffed arms gathered in her little arms and as usual Raymond the corgi minion alongside her. Esme wobbled a little as she reached a smaller leather suitcase with a sunflower decoration in the middle and then dropped her toys in it. "'ummy, wook!" She pointed at her toys with a cute little toothy grin oh my baby girl is so adorable.

Shaking her head, Esme's mother sighed. "Oh my sweet baby, we can't take everyone with us. We'll choose one friend to bring, okay?"

"Why?"

Oh dear, her new favorite word. I blame her father. Not me, of course. Nope, absolutely not me. "Because there's only so much room in your suitcase, Es."

"Why?"

Agnes raised an eyebrow. "Because that's just how big the suitcase is."

"Why?"

I fully blame Estinien for this. "Because that's the size we bought for you."

"Why?"

Her arms crossed over her ample chest. More ample since having three children! "Because you're a little girl, and you need a little suitcase for our trip."

"Why?"

As Agnes was about to answer, she was interrupted by a chuckling Estinien in the doorway. "Because." He said in a mock serious voice, his pale blue eyes meeting Esme's brown ones.

She considered the situation for a moment and tossed out all the toys except a stuffed chocobo that Aymeric had given her when she was born. The way he dotes on her makes my heart melt. "Bobo go!"

"Aye, Bobo will come with us. Now, let's gather the others and let Mummy finish packing. We leave the day after tomorrow, Es." He and Esme picked up the other toys, and she dutifully followed her father back to her and the boys' room. Are we already starting to outgrow our lovely apartment? Yup.

She giggled as she turned her attention back to the large suitcase. "This is going to be a fun trip..."

More silly Gymrat!AU stuff with the co-conspirator. A bit of Roceit, lotsa Dukexiety, and some dorky Creativitwins shit too...

Him: gymrat!Remus (and Roman) on their first day in the SO's living arrangements immediately started rubbing themselves up against everything when asked why: "so you never miss my scent" Janus is just doing his best not to immediately blurt out that he has a cleaning service that shampoos and conditions his furniture once every two weeks and Virgil’s like, "You know I'm going to just wash all that once you're gone right?" he in fact does not wash it, he does attempt to sniff them periodically when Remus isn't around

Me: i feel like Virgil would know and make reference to it, saying, "A/B/O shit isn't a thing in this world! Wtf, dude!" but is also weirdly endeared i just picture Remus going, "Record scratch? i didn't know you read omegaverse stuff?" Virgil: "Sh-shUT UP. IT WAS ONE TIME."

Him: Virgil: “YOUR BROTHER EXPLAINED IT TO ME.” Remus: “...How did you know i have a brother?" Remus, immediately calls Roman: "Yo, bitch-face. Do you read Omegaverse smut?" Roman: "IT WAS ONE TIME AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY A WOMAN COWORKER." Remus: "Cool, I don't actually care. But did you ever talk to someone about it?" Roman, panicking: "Yes, LOTS OF PEOPLE." Remus: "And you wonder why people think you're the weirdo of the two of us sometimes? Cool, anyways that's all i wanted to know." [Remus hangs up.] Remus: "Anyways, I know you're lying Virgie. I haven't introduced you to my brother, or even talked about him just yet. Because my brother is a biiiiitch. He scares away all my conquests, i mean dates."

a lot of people today are pretending 1) that the original We Didn't Start The Fire wasn't cheesy 2) that they even knew the first one was in chronological order

He grins, leans down and cocks his head, looking so teasing.

"...one more thing~"

The unamused groans from half his vode, and the uproarious laughter from the other half, send him into a fit of giggles.
