Yes, Captain

Happy Halloween! I was able to finish a short story I started ages ago, just in time to post it as a Halloween special. This is not related to Professional//Victim, but instead centers on the plight of an Irish pirate crew.

Tadhg is an irish name pronounced like TIE-G. Pronunciation reference available here: x

This one is hopefully sufficiently creepy, gross, and gory. Mind the tags. Alternative title: Blood and Oranges

“Captain!”

Tadhg’s head whipped around as if his own name was called, and gave a cursory glance to the deck before making his way over to the private. Captain was nowhere in sight, likely getting stoned in his quarters, so Tadhg took the reins as his practiced right-hand man.

The private who had called was in the crow’s nest, so Tadhg climbed the netting up, the ropes still rough under his calloused hands. He pulled himself up with decent ease but actively suppressed his need for more breath, trying to appear effortless in front of his underling.

“Aye?”

Snake Eyes handed him the telescope without comment. Tadhg raised it to his eye and squinted, blinking a few times against it before he saw the ship. Not immediately close, but drawing closer at an unnatural pace. Less subtly, the ship made its identity known with its trademark crimson sails.

Tadhg swallowed uncomfortably and lowered the spyglass.

“It could be an imposter,” Snake Eyes tried, with a nervous air.

“We cann’y afford to be wrong.”

Tadhg’s stomach was clenched in a pit of worry, but he carefully kept a calm face.

“Get the crew ready for battle, I’ll meet with the captain.”

Snake Eyes nodded, worried, and scurried down the nets after Tadhg.

At the bottom, Tadhg straightened his vest and clapped his hands.

“ATTENTION! A ship resemblin’ The Red Dawn has been spotted, 20 kilometers north, headed our way. Ready in case of a fight, be on standby for orders, Snake Eyes will direct.”

The crew paused for the announcement, and made nervous, uncertain eyes at one another while they slowly shifted gears. There was an air of disbelief stalling their movements, but Snake Eyes could snap them into shape.

Tadhg hurried down the narrow steps to the captain’s quarters, and he could hear word spreading down through the layers of the ship to the gun deck.

“Captain!”

He knocks on the door vigorously, hoping to wake him from his inevitable stupor.

“Who iiiiiisssss ittttt?” Rowan called back, muffled through the door. Tadhg pulled a pin from his hat and picked the lock with practiced ease, letting himself in. Wild Red Rowan was lying in his bed, the only bed on board, smoking opium with a humorous scowl.

“I thought I told you not to do that.”

“Captain, we’ve spotted The Red Dawn headed our way.”

Rowan’s face drained and his cheer was gone in a flash. He set down his pipe, looked at it, and then started packing it full again.

“Hoist the white flag.”

Tadhg didn’t move.

“What?”

“Surrender. Immediately. It’s our only chance.” Rowan didn’t meet his gaze, instead focusing on smoking as much of the opium as he could in short order.

“We - we might. Still outrun them.” Tadhg’s words sounded hollow, even to him.

“We won’t.”

“We have to fight.”

“We can’t win.”

“We don’t know that.”

“We can’t afford to lose. We have to give up, it’s the only way any of us will be spared.”

Tadhg walked back up the stairs in a daze. He reached the gun deck first, where the crew was scrambling to ready artillery.

“Don’t - don’t. We’re surrendering.”

He didn’t say it loud enough first, when only a few people slowed and looked at him.

“HALT! PREPARE FOR A SURRENDER! CAPTAIN’S ORDERS!” he barked. Stunned faces of disbelief looked back at him. Some folks didn’t even stop preparations. A woman with long black hair dropped an armful of knives unceremoniously onto the floor.

“Are you having a fucking craic?”

Tadhg stifled a nervous laugh.

“‘Fraid no’.”

Blackjack stared at him for a long moment, finally deciding he wasn’t joking.

“Fuck. Fuck!”

She kicked the heap on the floor she had dropped, scattering knives and cutlasses of various sizes around the deck.

Tadhg walked numbly back to the main deck, where he repeated his order to a similarly mixed success. His boots weighed a thousand pounds with each step he took to the mast, kicking the trunk at its base open and pulling the heavy cream canvas from its depths. In case of emergencies.

The crew of The Great Deceptor had never raised the white flag before.

Tadhg had been sure he’d be dead before he’d see it happen. He stared at the fabric in his hands for a moment as if it might speak to him. He hoped he might have some moment of clarity, of feeling assured of what to do. None came.

Looking past it, down to the ocean, The Red Dawn was growing closer at an overwhelming rate. It was a calm day, yet the foreign vessel cut the waves like a watersnake. Without the breeze, The Great Deceptor’s white flag hung limply from its post, as if the flag itself had given up its duty, too. Tadhg wondered idly if they’d even see it.

A heavy hand fell on Tadhg’s shoulder as Captain Red Rowan materialized behind him, fully dressed. He seemed to consider saying something encouraging, before abandoning the idea to a morbid silence. The crew around him drifted about like ghosts, eying the raised flag as a terrible omen.

The free ocean miles around them, and yet, nowhere to go.

When The Red Dawn grew close, Tadhg could see the water ripple oddly around her flanks, and she pitched forward quicker than the wind could carry her. When they were close enough to see people on board, he realized the movement was propelled by a row of blue painted oars feathering out from low on each side. From any distance, they blended in easily with the tumultuous waters. The oars retreated into the boat smoothly as it drew up side-to-side with them, leaving no trace. Able to be hidden when docking, so no one would know their secret.

No one who would survive.

They boarded with a ferocity, even though The Great Deceptor’s crew stood by with anxious idleness. The deck swarmed with foreign members, quickly taking flank along the ship to guard the length. Their captain came last, and Tadhg’s heart sank. Phantom White stepped onto the deck in a long leather coat, bleached white like bone. His face obscured by his signature leather mask, tucked neatly into his hat. His eyes were dark gems in their shadows, and when they reached Tadhg, it felt like they were boring holes through him.

“I offer no struggle, only a bargain.” Rowan called.

That got White’s attention then, and he made his slow way over to Wild. He came to a stop within conversational distance, his masked face unreadable, still silent.

“I offer my ship and my crew in exchange for my life.”

Tadhg’s heart stopped, and he broke his best menacing face to stare at Wild Red in disbelief.

“Not a member of your crew will be harmed, and our bounty is yours. I can-”

Rowan was interrupted with a hard punch to the jaw, and Tadhg was stunned to realize it was delivered from his own fist.

“You fish bellied fucking coward!”

His hand instinctively went to his side, drawing his cutlass and thrusting it into the air.

“ERIN GO BRAGH, FIGHT YOU DOGS!”

Chaos broke around them as the crew scrambled for arms, some forgoing them in favor of ripping at the invaders with their bare hands.

Tadhg had a fleeting moment of hope, a single thought that just maybe they had a chance, before Phantom White’s blade cut his hand into two halves with a single blow. Tadhg’s favorite sword clattered to the deck, and a leather-clad arm grabbed him about the throat, pulling his head into a crushing embrace. He frantically clawed at the arm, but his cut hand’s fingers flopped backwards unnaturally. With some wriggling he managed to tuck his chin under his grip and he bit down, his teeth sinking into the thick supple leather and catching him easily. There was a blinding hit to the back of his head, and night fell suddenly for Tadhg.

He woke up to darkness again, a blindfold wrapped thickly around his eyes. As he collected his thoughts, he recognized he was upright, sitting bound to a chair, probably from the captain’s quarters. His head throbbed in waves of pain, and the agony from his hand was so intense that he clenched his fist on instinct, as if to pull away from the sensation.

His hand was bound tightly together, pinned behind his back with his other fist. His jaw ached from a knotted rag stuffed into his mouth, keeping his jaw forced open and held in with a tightly bound rag around his head. He moaned in discomfort, shaking his head to try to dislodge the makeshift device and his whole head pulsed in pain. He prodded at the gag with his tongue, but it was caught behind his teeth and he struggled to bite down.

The bony back of a hand smashed the left side of his face, startling him into plaint submission as he searched sightlessly for his captor.

“Quite the excitement you had today, dear boy.” A rough voice spoke, low and timely.

“Mhhhhhnnnnhhhhwwhhhnnn,” Tadhg articulated back.

A low chuckle.

“You tried your best, but your crew was easily overwhelmed.”

Tadhg’s heart sank into his stomach. He didn't even get to go out fighting with his crew.

“They didn’t go without a fight, though. Gave me a few positions to refill, and I find myself suddenly in need of a new right hand man.”

Tadhg told him precisely how much he could go fuck himself, but all that came out was muffled sounds of anger.

The striking hand patted his cheek.

“You do fight like a dog. I could use a mutt. Or, I could chum what’s left of your crew. I’ll give you some time to think about it.

Tadhg swallowed with some difficulty around the rag, but sat still.

“I have to finish a few negotiations with your good ol’ cap, and we can seal it.”

Tadhg wasn’t sure what would be required to “seal it”, but he didn’t have much choice. He listened to the creak of the wood as this - new captain stalked away.

New. Because with a sinking feeling, he already knew. He would take the deal. Of course he would. He only hoped there actually were surviving members of his crew left to be saved.

He rolled the memory over in his mind like the last sip of whiskey in his mouth. His Captain, stoned and stumbling, unwilling to lift a finger towards their survival. A little more “all for one” than “one for all”. Back in the day Wild Red Rowan slaughtered vikings and freed their slaves. Freed then, with nowhere to go, Tadhg had joined his crew with an unwavering loyalty.

A loyalty that had brought him up through the ranks fast.

A loyalty that may very well have just cost the entire ship their lives.

He hung his aching head.

Less rhino horn could ruin better men than his temperamental leader. But Tadhg was devoted, and it regularly earned him a place in the Captain’s bed just long enough to be used for what he was good for. He felt heavy with shame to think on those nights now, and where it had landed him.

He dozed off in the chair somehow, this knowledge only gleaned when he was startled awake with a hand squeezing his sore jaw.

“Enough beauty rest. Your captain has agreed to a most generous offer.”

Tadhg raised his blind, heavy head, and the hand released him.

“As for you… you’ll serve on my ship. Ten year’s debt. Many of your kin here have accepted. What say you?”

Tadhg gnawed on the gag and finally nodded. His heart sank with his submission, knowing the little freedom he’d been given had been sold away again so easily.

Tugging at the back of his head, strands of hair rip free with the rope binding. The wrap around his eyes loosens and falls, and he blinks harshly against the oil lamps illuminating the room. As they adjusted, he struggled to understand what he saw.

Phantom White, sitting on the edge of Red’s bed. His white coat splattered with blood and gore, some still shining wet in the light. In place of his white mask was a crude red mass, the edges secured with sinew around his head. Out of the gruesome mess, Tadhg recognized a human face. The scar on his nose… no. No.

His captain’s face, the flayed skin stretched into a gruesome mask.

Bile rose in his throat, only kept down by the gag. The lips were swollen and split, stretched brutally around the new captain’s own mouth, the hollow eye sockets grimly forced open around dark eyes underneath. What he could see of the face beneath was painted in blood that had begun to tacky in the cool salt air.

He screamed in his gag then, like a rabbit in the jaws of a wolf. Screamed with a terror that dripped down his leg. The twisted mask of Rowan’s face bulged around the ties securing it around Phantom White’s head. The bloody fileting knife still was held in one hand, viscera caked down to the end of the handle and smeared in his palms. Tadhg rocked backwards in his chair as hard as he could, barely gaining another inch away from the monster before him.

“You don’t think I wear it as fine as him? He might still like it back, though he has grown quiet since.”

Phantom drew an orange from his pocket and raised his blade, splitting the fruit in two with a practiced flick. He opened his mouth - both mouths - wide enough to sink his teeth into the flesh, the smell of sugar cutting through the stench of blood as the juice dripped down both chins.

Tadhg sobbed and wretched dryly, thankful of his empty stomach.

“You’ll do what the fuck I say, when I say it.”

Tadhg nodded again, heart hammering. He could not cease the tears of sheer terror tracking down his cheeks and soaking into his gag.

White drew closer, drawing whimpers and sobs from Tadhg as the bound man struggled in vain to pull away from the advancing captain.

His peeling face loomed close to his and Tadhg closed his eyes, anticipating teeth to tear his own in shreds. \

The knife dug into his cheek and he shrieked as it carved down, the acid of the orange stinging like salt in the wound. It split through the wrap around his mouth and withdrew, the sides falling away from his face and releasing his gag.

He opened his eyes wide and saw him staring back, deep set eyes under his fleshy disguise. Phantom’s bloody hand covered his mouth before he could spit out the knot over his tongue.

“We have a deal. The only thing I want to hear out of your fucking mouth is “Yes, Captain.” Are we clear?”

Tadhg nodded, trembling. Paralyzed under his grip.

The hand released and he spat out the last of the gag, struggling down a swallow to clear his throat.

“You’re mine now.”

Phantom’s face loomed closer and pressed the limp, bloody lips of a corpse’s face against his. An invading tongue pressed against his lips, coaxing his own mouth open to accept the kiss.

Numbed by shock, Tadhg accepted, and a warm tongue pushed into his mouth, tasting of blood and oranges. The kiss deepened, and then pulled back, a string of red spit breaking between their mouths as they parted.

“Yes, Captain.”

Ghostbusters (2016, Paul Feig)

28/11/2023

Ghostbusters is a 2016 film directed by Paul Feig.

The film marks the reboot of the series of the same name, with a new team of female Ghostbusters, played by Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones.

Abby Yates and Erin Gilbert are two theoretical physics scholar who together wrote a book in which they argue that paranormal phenomena, such as ghosts, really exist. Abby, Erin and Jillian witness the first physical manifestation of a ghost they have ever seen, filming it and posting the video on YouTube, which leads to Erin's immediate dismissal and her loss of all credibility as a scientist by the entire community university.

Abby, Erin and Jillian manage to capture the ghost with their proton packs and film the operation, but their footage is once again mocked by the Internet public. Patty decides to join the team, making herself useful as she knows New York city very well and provides the group with a vehicle, a repurposed Cadillac hearse borrowed from her uncle.

When Rowan plants one of the devices in a venue where a heavy metal concert is being held, the Ghostbusters are called in and capture the ghost in front of the audience.

During the credits, Patty listens to a recording of an encounter with a ghost and asks the other three Ghostbusters if they have ever heard of Zuul.

~ Abigail "Abby" Yates, played by Melissa McCarthy, is a scholar of the paranormal world, willing to do anything to prove her theories.

~ Erin Gilbert, played by Kristen Wiig, Abby's best friend, was nominated to become a professor at Columbia University, a job she lost after it was revealed she co-authored a book about ghosts with Yates.

~ Jillian Holtzmann, played by Kate McKinnon, is a nuclear engineer, rebellious and courageous.

~ Patricia "Patty" Tolan, played by Leslie Jones, is a New York subway employee.

~ Kevin Beckman, played by Chris Hemsworth, is the secretary of the Ghostbusters, a muscular and charming but extremely dumb and childish boy, who can't even answer the phone.

~ Rowan North, played by Neil Casey, the film's main antagonist, is a mad scientist who becomes a ghost and attempts to unleash an army of ghosts to destroy the city.

~ Bradley, played by Andy García, is the Mayor of New York.

The protagonists of the first two Ghostbusters films participate in the film in some cameos:

- Bill Murray, Dr. Martin Heiss, a debunker who doesn't belive in the paranormal;

- Dan Aykroyd, a taxi driver;

- Ernie Hudson, Bill Jenkins, Patty Tolan's uncle;

- Sigourney Weaver, Rebecca Gorin, Jillian Holtzmann's professor and mentor;

- Annie Potts, the receptionist at the Mercado Hotel.

Ozzy Osbourne, Al Roker, Pat Kiernan, Cheryl Wills, Rosanna Scotto and Greg Kelly also participate in the film, playing themselves.

mmhmmHMMM oh YES i like this a lot 👀👀👀 and given what we know of Rowan’s past it makes his palpable giddiness to be in a tall, strong, conventionally attractive body all the more intoxicating to him. consider what having Kevin’s lack of self-consciousness, and his overabundance of recklessness, would do with the context of Rowan’s abuse? it’s no wonder that instead of immediately wiping everyone out in the cruellest way possible (which given by his bloody, guts-filled speeches all about forcing people to bow down to him, we’d expect) he controls them to start dancing. that seems very much like a childishly Kevin move...although i can’t say what i’d do in his situation 😂

wait I'm thinking about Rowan North again and I'm going to posit a possibility

what if the reason he acts so dramatically unlike the version of him we know prior to jumping in Kevin's body after doing so is because he more or less "melds" with the person he's possessing? because he isn't fully in control over what traits of theirs come out, doesn't even realize it's happening, and winds up coming out with those traits still "stuck" on him, permanently?

so it's less of a possession...more of a fusion, and much like the Ice King's crown, or like fusing with a corrupted gem, the more he possesses people, the more he loses himself, because he transforms into a new configuration with these accumulated wild card traits every time. their static human body is fine after the possession, but his malleable ghost form winds up absorbing traits from the possessed person and never shedding them. possession as a corrupting force that changes the game, every single time.

world building cause twn doesn't pt. 2: nilfgaard!

pt. 1 on the northern realms here

okay i'm making this because 1 witcher netflix is the most convoluted and confusing thing i've ever seen and does literally no world building and 2 special interest make autism brain go brr.

about this series

this is gonna be a multi part series about the witcher universe but this is all about nilfgaard!

ciri's timeline in twn encompasses the entirety of the first northern war, beginning with the attack on cintra and ending with the battle at sodden

the show ended in 1264 when we saw geralt meet ciri

this is just covering the human portions of nilfgaard. i'll talk about elven allied groups like the scoiatael later.

colour code cause i fucking love colour codes - already happened/introduced, probably s2, important background info, stuff that might be in the prequel, extras

background

the witcher takes place on the continent, which is mainly divided between south and north

the north is a collection of many kingdoms while the south is basically just nilfgaard and its many territories, dependencies, provences, and vassal states.

some of these conquered areas include toussaint, vicovaro, nazair, and mettina

nilfgaard loves invading the north. a lot. like this is the driving force of most of the plot in the witcher.

basic info

nilfgaard an insanely powerful absolutist monarchy, ruled by an emperor who has a huge collection of talented mages, spies, commanders, and advisors

as of ciri's timeline in twn, the emperor is emhyr var emreis, or, to those on more intimate terms with him: the white flame dancing on the graves of his foes

[ID: middle aged white man with slicked back shoulder length greying black hair. he is wearing a black dress with a red and black embroidered shirt underneath. he is wearing a gold medallion around his neck, has black leather boots, and is holding a silver goblet. end ID]

emhyr is crazy important, both as a character and to the politics of the witcher. he's also a member of the house of emreis, which i'll go into detail on in a bit.

he is also a major walking spoiler, so i won't talk about him in the context of twn or the books

nilfgaard is divided between the "heart" of the empire, also known as lower alba or simply nilfgaard, and the conquered territories, dependencies, provinces, etc

for all of nilfgaard's imperialism, it does allow these areas to retain a lot of their original cultural identity, to the point where someone from vicovaro would not really consider themself nilfgaardian

this works out because nilfgaard would not consider a vicovarian nilfgaardian either

lower alba

lower alba is the home of "real" nilfgaardians, and is also where the capital city is located

theres a bit of racism and racial purity here: lower albans consider themselves superior to the rest of humans due to their elven ancestry

this elven ancestry is also why nilfgaard is far more sympathetic to nonhumans than the north and uses a language similar to hen llinge (elder speech)

there are a LOT of notable albans, so i'll just keep it to the important ones and my favourites: carthia van canten aka cantarella, morvran voorhis, stefan skellen, the house of emreis, and vattier de rideaux

the capital, known as the city of golden towers or simply nilfgaard, is home to the imperial palace, where the emperor spends most of his time

i say most because there is also a summer residence at loc grim palace

now that we know the basics of the core empire, let's visit the other territories!

toussaint

the duchy of toussaint is one of the most important nilfgaardian states, and definitely the most beautiful. it's main economy is in wine

toussaint actually has no secret service or military, something quite rare on the continent. it does however, have a large system of knights errant that love chivalry

the capital is beauclaire, which is where the duke/duchess live

as of twn, its ruler is the duchess anna henrietta. i'll let you all make your own assumptions about the lovely annarietta

also for some reason in toussaint, people have 2 names that are smushed together. so anna henrietta becomes annarietta, sylvia anna becomes syanna, carolina roberta becomes caroberta etc

annarietta is also distantly related to emhyr, her great grandfather is the half brother of emhyr's father

the most notable toussaintois are the mages fringilla and artorius vigo

here's fringilla in twn. [ID: young black woman in a long sleeve grey-blue cloak. her hair is pulled back and she is looking slightly up and to the right with a blank expression. end ID]

vicovaro

"THERE ONCE WAS A MAID FROM VICOVARO..."

okay vicovaro is vassal state near the southernmost part of the empire, but we know it more for the people from it than what it actually is

there is an actual ruler, but the state is largely controlled by two key houses: the var anahid family and the dyffryn family

the capital is vicovaro, but the houses have their own land. we don't really hear about the var anahids, but the dyffyn house controls dyffra

notable vicovarians include assire var anahid and cahir mawr dyffryn aep ceallach. cahir in twn is right there.

[ID: young white man in black armour. he has an angular face and brown slicked back hair. he is scowling]

mettina

okay mettina is a bit confusing since it is the shared name for three different places. the first is the administrative unit mettina, which includes the provence mettina (2) and the provence maecht. in the provence there is also the capital city mettina (3).

tor lara aka the tower of the swallow is in mettina, and not much else tbh

maecht was the home of duny (that little man) for an unspecified number of years

[ID: young white man with dark curly hair. his face is dirty and sweaty and he is frowning slightly]

"wait! i thought duny was the urcheon of erlenwald, and that's in cintra!" don't... don't think too hard about duny. he lived in mettina for a while and took a trip to cintra where he met pavetta.

ebbing

for all intents and purposes, ebbing is an autonomous state, although nilfgaardians do have a hand on the wheel

includes salm, a technically sovereign provence, but is de facto dependent on ebbing

ebbing is most notably home to stygga castle, the one time fortress for the school of the cat, and bounty hunter leo bonhart

also, roegner of ebbing, pavetta's father, is from here

nazair

nazair is kinda the least important of the more important nilfgaardian dependencies

it was independent for a while but was conquered by cintra under queen calanthe and then nilfgaard under emperor emhyr

its main industries are cinnabrite and silver, both luxury goods

the only mildly important nazairi is becca of nazair, ciri's 6 times great grandmother

other minor areas

alba, toussaint, ebbing, and vicovaro are really the only important nilfgaardian areas, although mettina and nazair are mentioned quite a bit. borders change a lot, especially with an imperialist power, but this is the general list of nilfgaardian areas as of the first northern war

regions - daerlan (notable for military), eiddon (owned and ruled by alban spy vattier de rideaux), liddertall, magne, rowan, ruach, slopes (home to haern caduch, the bear school fortress), tarnhann, winneburg, and ymlac

provences - angren provence (contains dol angra, a profitable trade route), cintra (1264-1268), etolia, gemmera, geso, mag turga, mettina (contains kingdoms mettina and maecht), and nazair

vassals - cintra (after 1268), ebbing, toussaint, and vicovaro

tl;dr: the most important part of nilfgaard is lower alba, which is surrounded by many dependencies including toussaint, vicovaro, nazair, and mettina.

thank you for reading! i'm definitely gonna make more parts and will link them here when i do!

it's finally spooky season!!!! 👻 and so it's the perfect time to post a clip of one of my more obscure fictional crushes, Dr Rowan North from Ghostbusters 2016 🙈💖 he's a dreadful misanthropic genius who tries to bring about a ghost-centred apocalypse to destroy humanity!!

#i'm sorry i can't help it this exact character type ruins me every time and i was (am) SO obsessed with this fucked up dude sdfgds #his whole life has gone so terribly off the rails. he's dissociated himself entirely from BEING human because he's been hurt so bad #isn't that just fascinating???#dr rowan north #rowan north #ghostbusters 2016 #ghostbusters #ghostbusters: answer the call #ghostbusters atc #starleskatalks

Photo

oh my goodness - thank you so much @funkelly for asking about this, because i just saw the movie for the first time yesterday and came to that exact conclusion about Erin and Rowan as a way to tighten up the script. i’m really glad that other people noticed the dearth of information on Rowan’s trauma and all of those potential suggestions for his character arc which could have made him all the more interesting...😭

Let’s talk about Rowan North

“You hate to see the smart ones go bad.”

In the top photo we see Rowan’s accreditations - Received his bachelors from Stanford; a doctorate from MIT; awarded the Hughes Medal from the Royal Society of London “in recognition of an original discovery in the physical sciences, particularly electricity snd magnetism or their applications;” awarded the JJ Sakurai Prize from the American Physical Society which honors outstanding achievement in particle physics theory; and was recognized by the American Association of Physics Teachers… This is one smart dude.

Now he works as a maintenance man in the bowels of a hotel. What happened? Was he disgraced? Did he just wake up one day and decide that he was too smart for this world and began to plot his revenge? How long had he been stewing on this?

It’s obvious that he only works as a maintenance man at this hotel to gain access to this basement for his ultimate plan.

How old is he? The Hughes Medal looks like it was awarded in 1998? 1993? Hard to see on my screen. Was he a prodigy like we believe Holtzmann to be? I can’t imagine he’s older than Abby and Erin. I know some people speculate that he was at MIT at the same time as Erin (or Holtz if that’s your sweatshirt headcanon).

At what point did he get a hold of Abby and Erin’s book? Whenever it was it’s been a hot minute cuz he’s been using it to build his machines.

“Well done, Rowan…” He’s his own hype man. Did he not get hugs as a kid? I would guess he didn’t have the support of people around him the way Erin and Abby were for each other. Then again, neither did Holtzmann and she turned out just fine.

Lots of interesting facets to the Rowan story that we don’t know. Thoughts?

Ship tag

tagged by @adelinegryffindor

First ever ship? Isabella x Phineas from Phineas and Ferb, I think. Oh I miss that show, it was so great.

Most recent ship? Beth x Cleo (Queen’s gambit)

Favourite canon M/F ship? Remadora

Favourite canon F/F ship? Poussey x Soso (OitnB)

Favourite canon M/M ship? Erik x Adam (not at the start, but in the second season)

Favourite non canon M/F ship? Barnaby x Rowan. I don’t think many people agree with my ship, but they’d be adorable together. Also Jae x Chiara.

Favourite non canon F/F ship? Violet Evergarden x Amy Barlett

Favourite non canon M/M ship? I currently don’t have one

Favourite friends-to-lovers ship? Fanny x Ben (A castle in the clouds)

Favourite enemies-to-lovers ship? Hphm MC x Merula

Biggest BroTP? Tonks and Charlie

Biggest NoTP? Snonks. Personally, I don’t like it.

A ship that you don’t personally ship, but don’t really have a problem with? Wolfstar. It’s quite cute, but not for me.

A ship that you think would have been better off as friends? Marcus x North (Detroit become human) Even though looking at how North behaves and seeing the choices I picked in my own play-through, they might not make great friends under all conditions.

Two conflicting ships that you like both of? Jane x Michael, Jane x Rafael. I used to hate Rafael, but then I started liking him too, and suddenly didn’t know who to root for anymore. (Jane the Virgin)

A ship that grosses you out? Snarry

Favourite movie ship? Violet Evergarden x Amy Barlett

Favourite book ship? Gwendolyn x Gideon (Ruby Red trilogy)

Favourite TV ship? Anne x Gilbert (Anne with an E)

Favourite sitcom ship? I’d have to agree with Stephanie x Jimmy (Fuller house)

A ship that isn’t canon yet, but you know probably will be and you are looking forward to? Diana x Jerry (Anne with an E) At least I hope it will...

A canon ship that a lot of people complain “makes no sense” or “came out of nowhere” but you personally love? The only answer to that is Tonks x Remus. I remember being surprised when it was revealed, but looking back there was some hinting beforehand.

A non-canon ship that a lot of people claim “should have been canon” that you just don’t think makes sense? Drarry

A ship you used to like, but don’t anymore? Tonks x Tulip

A ship you used to dislike, but like now? MC x Merula. I’m not kidding. After reaching a certain point in the story, I... reconsidered.

A ship you would be cool with as an alternative to one of your ships? Barnaby x Liz

A ship that you like as both friends and lovers? El x Mike (Stranger things). Cute couple, but if they were just friends it would also be okay.

A ship that everybody seems to love except for you? Violet x Clementine (Telltales the walking dead). I don’t hate it, but I prefer her to be with Louis.

A ship you find overrated? Dramione

A ship you find underrated? Luna x Neville

A ship that deserved better? Jane x Michael, or Poussey x Soso

A song that reminds you of one of your ships? “Should I stay or should I go” for Merula x Nonie. Referring to the mess of ups and downs their relationship is.

Most romantic ship? Honestly, to me? Jae x Chiara. I’m not even sure why, but they’d be so precious.

Most iconic ship? Dr. Manning x Dr Halstead (Chicago med) maybe? I dunno

Answering these was a lot harder than I figured it would be, for some reason. And I even left some out that I couldn’t find an answer to.

ooooh an f/o chain, how fun!!! 🥰💖 okay, i tag @iriso-page, @blackthewolf17, @single-eutanasia, @malramaz and @venuss-ambassador 🎉

my f/os are below the cut 😉

first fictional crush: Jack Spicer (Xiaolin Showdown) 🖤🙈

this boy genius was the impetus for years and years of my villain-loving!!! everything he is, is the blueprint for the kinds of characters i adore...a cartoonishly evil, brilliant scientist whose immense intelligence and ego is offset by the fact that he's a goddamn moron 😂 he's also got that sopping wet vibe that other classic f/os such as Spamton and Dave the Octopus share...they're actually dumb as rocks and in desperate need of a hug 🥺 most recent fictional crush: Wally Darling (Welcome Home) 🥴💖

no surprises here for anyone who's been on the blog recently - Wally has completely captured my heart with his sweet silliness 🥺💖 he's just so beautiful, soft and quirky!!! he has this magnetic charm in the brilliant simplicity of his design, and there's so much interesting speculation to be had about his character. 10/10 character who deserves all of the love he's getting 🥰 weirdest fictional crush: Professor Zündapp (Cars 2) 🚗🔥

having a crush on any fictional vehicle is going to win the obscure vote, but i chose Professor Zündapp over Choo-Choo Charles because at least with the latter, there's a monsterfucking excuse 😂💖 here's the thing...Prof. Z being a car is immaterial. he is just so perfectly my type that i wouldn't notice if he was a car, a human, or a furry. goofy, evil, sinister, intelligent, engineering capabilities, German...(for real i have a stupid amount of f/os who are German or have German accents - looking at you, Comfortable Doug and Werner Werman!! 😅). i was just doomed the second i saw him. a great character trapped in a carwreck of a movie;;; fictional crush you’ve had the longest: HABIT (EverymanHYBRID)!! 🔪💀

although i only got into the Slenderverse in my teens, i think the length of time i was so utterly obsessed with this guy more than qualifies him for the longest-running crush 😖 HABIT hits that terrifying, demonic, creepypasta slasher niche that i just can't resist...who doesn't love a wisecracking, body-snatching abomination with a penchant for knives and is almost always covered in blood? he's certainly not a controversial choice 😳 most obscure fictional crush: Dr. Rowan North (Ghostbusters 2016) 👻💡

oh my god i am so obsessed with him i physically don't know how to contain it 😭💖💖 Rowan embodies what i like to think of as the Dwight Schrute niche of my f/os...these unusual, neurodivergent-coded assholes who are highly skilled and terribly misanthropic. i'm genuinely just so weak for a dreadful incel, and Rowan is so driven and insane it's impossible not to be drawn in by his passion 🥺 he shares the stage with choices like Comic Book Guy and The Riddler...i'm very drawn to nerds who would be dismissive towards me 😭💖 most unexpected fictional crush: Augustus St. Cloud (The Venture Bros)!!!! 🕶💰

the absolute KING of my f/os!!!!! i don't know what happened - at first he lurked in the back of my mind in a, 'ha, wouldn't it be funny if you got obsessed with this guy' kind of way, and now he's one of my absolute favourite characters of all time 😖💖💖💖 i just love everything about Augustus...impeccable style, fascinating voice, and this unrepentant, nasty passion for making his arch-nemesis' life a living hell 🙈 i'm a fan of fat, fancy bastards and Augustus just sits at this weird intersection between so many traits i love in a character...he's simultaneously a serious problem, and laughably incompetent. capable of easily outsmarting others, and a total idiot. he is extremely embarrassing and i love him for it 😂💖 that's all!! hope you had fun with this trip into my silly f/os :3c

Starting a F/O chain bc bored. you dont have to be tagged to make an addition!

@starleska @monsterbride99

In this order:

First fictional crush (you can remember)

Most recent fictional crush

Weirdest fictional crush

Fictional crush you've had the longest

Most obscure Fictional crush

Most unexpected fictional crush

Mine below cut!

1. Bowser is the first one I can remember. Dont ask why I was like, six
