Skeletons of the Vasa - update

In the 1960s, 17-19 skeletons were recovered from the Vasa. I had reported on this. But new research has shown that one of the individuals was not what was first believed. The skeleton that is on display in the museum as G-Gustav has now been renamed Gertrude, because new DNA analyses at the beginning of the year showed that Gustav was not a man but a woman. According to the new genetic analysis, "she was about 25-30 years old when she died, had blue eyes, blond hair and pale skin," told Oscar Nilsson, Live Science in an email, a forensic pathologist based in Sweden. He was the one who gave Gustav his face in 2006 and now had the opportunity to give Gertrude her true appearance.

Nilsson also worked with Anna Silwerulv, a textile expert at the Vasa Museum, to dress the reconstruction in a dark grey jacket and hat, as parts of these garments were found with her remains.

Microscopic analysis revealed that the hat was bright red. "And the original design was striking: a very high hat, reminiscent of the traditional festive clothing of the Swedish and also the Sami peasants," says Nilsson. You could also tell from her vest that she had been a hard-working woman, which made her seem quite harsh even though she was so young, which had also led to Gustav being estimated to be around 45 at the time. Gertrude's presence on the Vasa leads to the conclusion that she had been married to one of the sailors, because only wives were allowed to be present on the maiden voyage.

The museum reacted immediately and named her skeleton correctly and her new facial reconstruction has been on display since the end of June.

The Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver | Wanda Maximoff & Pietro Maximoff

March 1, 1964 - March 1, 2024, it’s been 60 years since the Maximoff Twins first debuted in The X-Men (1964) #4

How’s it going gamers I replayed Portal 2 the video game of all time and have been reminded of how truly obsessed I am with all the characters

So I present to you: Typical AU where everyone’s a normal human who works at Aperture but Glados and Caroline are sisters who are just barely keeping this company from going bankrupt

[witchofthesouls]

Wait something funny just occurred to me. In the AU where the kids get cyber formed but remain on the edge of being adults, someone would have had to give them the Cybertonian version of The Sex Talk.

Would it be Ratchet, giving them the strictly medical side of things, or would it be some bot, talking about the experimental/exploring parts?

(I genuinely believe Ratchet would have an aneurysm of some kind at the prospect of it. But let's pretend)

I have to name this verse properly because Tarn isn't here, but it will eventually lead the D.J.D. to Earth. I'll keep the soulmate au tag until I can figure out something.

Ratchet does have an aneurysm because he has set ideas on what is and isn't 'appropriate' from Functionist-held Golden Age Cybertron, but he also carries a lot of guilt from out-surviving almost all his friends, cohorts, and students...

And it's all being dragged into the mud by the Jasper trio, who gives no quarter on crushing his prejudices and fears. Even Raf, his favorite, casually steamrolls over it with the draconian and American mindset of giving no fucks.

Team Prime had harmless thought exercises of what their charges' Cybertronian frames would be like... and none of them were remotely correct!

Because Miko is a Seeker femme, Raf may or may not be a type of Predacon, and Ratchet can't get proper readings on Jack's base-coding, Ratchet sits them all down because they're not sparklings or mechlings with sealed plates but full-framed mecha with total access. He gives them the reproductive talk, especially since Seekers and beastformers go into reproductive heats, but humans don't have that. He's trying to be mindful, and Ratchet is going through the different sexual methods and the variations of parts. Of course, Raf has to interrupt because the draconian mech has two spikes and no receptacle, and he would like to know about any necessary care.

All in all, it's really Ratchet having another fit because his weird humans are now weird Cybertronians of yore/throwbacks. And the ex-humans are taking it rather well, but Jack, Miko, and Raf had literally lifetimes to explore sexuality: as humans, human-hybirds by exploring their heritage as well as alchemical concoctions and very curious lovers.

This, however, did kickstart the path of Ratchet teaching Miko his medical knowledge as she doesn't want the results. She's burning to have the technical skills and knowledge of the processes. Ratchet does pass on his skills to Raf and Jack, but Raf prefers the science as Jack is more fascinated by procuring research material. Miko literally bullzoned her way to become his student. The howling matches they had shook the foundations of the base, but she got her way because she deliberately aimed at his vulnerable parts. ("You'll leave us one day to go back to Cybertron! And you're refusing to tell me how to properly care for myself!?") Ratchet is highly concerned about how voracious Miko's appetite is for that knowledge.

She yearns to become a Tsunade/Unohana terror among them because they have a strong suspicion that if their status is revealed, then they'll become targets. She'll become a Cybertronian Bloodbourne horror if it means she'll never be trapped like what happened to some of her kin.

More Meat Marionette Au?

Body Horror Warning as Usual

Been a while since I pondered the Meat Marionette Au. So have some art for Jason. Because while he might not have died, that flesh puppet was torn apart and the Caves rebuilt it with whatever It could get its claws into.

So yeah, that Joker arc does sort of happen- albeit in Gotham and without Jason running away. And there's consequences for it. Not just for the joker, not just for the bats, but for everyone.

There's a ghost in the Alley, a mass of bone and flesh shambling about in agony. And everyone knows what it once was.

The robins can't die, everyone quickly understands this. But there's something horrific of seeing the result of someone trying to do so. From something ripping one of them apart with metal and fire and scorching flesh away until it has to use whatever meat it can reach to rebuild itself.

Meat Marionette Au is a combo of my Cryptid Batfam & @phoenixcatch7 Possessed Doll Au, Go check them out they post some cool stuff

ok now I need to know what you think of Sacabambaspis as another potential form

​oh no!! i don't think i was built to evolve this fast!!!!

[wiremotherofficial]

also it seems like at least a significant portion of my eye pain is directly tied to jaw clenching, so there is a nonzero chance of significant improvement after the tongue tie release

Tried playing demon souls for the first time today and my sister got a little too into the character creation, trying to replicate me and this is the result lmao

I'm never doing a face reveal, this is the closest and you're gonna get.
