Before the onset of the Dark Days, Panem has seen no better tag team than that of Crassus Snow and Thanatos Swansworth, your father.
Men who helped shape the society, who kept the rebels at bay by putting a leash on them.Ā  They were the lightbringers of the Capitol and the harbingers of death to the Districts.Ā  They were well respected, or feared.Ā  Nobody really cared to understand the difference.
And to you and Coriolanus, they were people to be highly looked up to, they were not the best fathers but they were great men.Ā  And being their children, given the task to take up the challenge of reviving their legacy is a dream.
Although, it was never that easy.
Coriolanus Snow is your classmate in the academy, but he never really liked to socialize with you.Ā  It was a great insult to you when he once left your company to seek out Sejanus, a person he claims only to tolerate.
It did not deter you.
In class, you tried to offer smiles to him, asking him about his day, and he would respond to you curtly.
When there were gatherings, you tried to get him to make you his date, lingering by his side like a desperate little puppy, but it was always Clemensia Dovecot, his class partner who got the honor of having an arm looped around his.
It hurt you deeply.Ā  Especially when you always believed as a child that it was him you would marry.Ā  Your fathers loved to bring it up in every opportunity they had.Ā  They say that you and Coriolanus are one and the same.Ā 
Coriolanus disagrees with that.
Aside from having dead tyrant fathers, you had nothing else to sympathize over.Ā Ā 
He had chosen his friends well.Ā  They were promising individuals, truly in the path of being the next great leaders of Panem.
And you, of course you were an exceptional student, someone who made it into the Academyā€™s top 24 best-performing students.
The news of having to become mentors in the 10th annual Hunger Games made your stomach turn.
Death was not foreign to you, your mother made sure you watched every single game.Ā  She said it was a way of honoring your late father.Ā  She has done it every year until she followed your father in death.
As a child, you had to develop resistance to brutality.
And the thought of having to take part in the backgrounds of such savagery did not affect you.Ā  The task, however of having to make your first step into the path your father wanted you take, had you completely anxious.
They had given you a young boy from District 8.Ā  He was plain.Ā  You saw no potential in him.Ā  Not that you voiced that out when they assigned him to you.Ā  It was only when you got to talk to him and he told you interesting things you can do with a sewing needle that your interest was piqued.
Coriolanus was invested in his tribute.
You saw it, heard it, as you passed him in the cafeteria when he had his luncheons with Sejanus.Ā  The way he looked at Lucy Grayā€™s eyes, the way they talked with such familiarity.Ā  You had trouble hiding a sneer.Ā  Surely, he would not stoop so low as to trick a womanā€™s affections just so he can come out as the victor.
When the games started, Cooriolanus became more and more detached, jittery, always on edge, as if using every moment to scheme.
That evening, you chose to rest early so you can come back before the break of dawn.
You were alone when you arrived, and you were met with the battered face of your tribute.Ā  Had it not been for his clothing, you would not recognize him with how bad his face has suffered from the brutal blows.
You stand in front of the screens, your body rigid as you cross an arm over your chest to support the other.Ā  You saw your father doing it often when he was plotting with Crassus.Ā  He often had a thumb under his chin and his index pressed in his lips as if to silence anyone who dared disturb him, and overtime, you managed to acquire the same gesture.
Your eyes were calculating as you watched every detail around him.Ā  It was a bloodbath around him.Ā  From the looks of the splattered blood, the culprit did not hold back.Ā  And the weapon, it was lying on the side, the concrete painted crimson.
Your narrowed eyes squinted at the other tributes, hardly anybody moved from their spots.Ā  Who could have done it?
You stood in the middle of the stage, eyes on every screen.Ā  Most of them had their own chosen weapons.Ā  What could have happened that your tribute had to die such a slow and brutal death.Ā  A pitchfork to the heart or an ax to hack his throat would have been better, at least his suffering would have been short.
Coriolanus Snow arrived after you.Ā  His eyes were blown, his forehead sweaty, and his shoulders stiff.Ā  He made no effort to acknowledge you first, you decided to do it for him.
ā€œHow have you been?ā€Ā  You ask gently.Ā  ā€œI see your tribute is still cooped down there.ā€
He glances at you and at Lucy Gray on screen.Ā  ā€œYours?ā€
ā€œDead.ā€Ā  You smile at him.
The stillness in his movement did not go unnoticed by you, so did the grimace he pulled when he moved his shoulder wrong.Ā  You did not hide the way your eyes scanned his posture and he was watching you as you did so.
ā€œWhere were you last night, Corio?ā€Ā  Your smile is still on your face.Ā  Tone similar to the usual one you used when you ask for extra notes in class.
ā€œLibrary.ā€Ā  He spoke with practiced calmness.
ā€œIn the middle of the night?ā€Ā  Your brows frown playfully.Ā  ā€œAnd in the middle of the games?ā€
His back straightens at the tone of your voice.
Coriolanus Snow always detested how you were your fatherā€™s daughter.Ā  It was unfair to you, of course.Ā  But how is it that you, the daughter of Thanatos Swansworth did not have to suffer like him when he also lost his father.Ā  You were a sweet little girl.Ā  But the way you are at this moment, he started second guessing everything he knew about you.
ā€œWere you scouring for strategies, you sly little fox?ā€Ā  You giggle as you walk over to him.
Coriolanus did not respond.Ā 
For a moment you just look at each other.Ā  His eyes are as glacial as you remember.Ā  He really is attractive, his ambitious nature even more so.
You squeezed his arm and the way your eyes darted to his shoulder had him holding his breath.Ā 
ā€œPromise me you will not do anything stupid again, please?ā€Ā  You say with your voice barely above a whisper, almost begging him.Ā  He tries to break free but you pull his coat with your free hand, you are gripping his arm now.Ā  ā€œPlease, Corio.ā€Ā  You press yourself closer to him, eyes searching for something that is clearly not there.
He grabs your wrist tightly, making you let go of his coat.Ā  His eyes are not fazed with the unshed tears in your eyes.Ā  As his lips remain a firm line, you shy away from his cold gaze, feeling utterly pathetic.Ā 
But you will not let him see that he got through you.
It never ceases to amaze him how you can pull such authentic looking smiles.
ā€œMay the odds be ever in your favor, Coriolanus Snow.ā€
You stand on your tippy toes to press a kiss to his jaw and you leave him there with his thoughts building up a storm inside that golden head of his.

I don't wanna doubt that some russians are pro war, but isnt the majority pro war because expressing the opposite in public would get them in trouble? (Jail, torture, etc). The russian gov has shown multiple times how they treat their own citizens who don't agree with them (Alexei Navalny for example). As for Putin's approval rate, isnt it probable that they're fake or fabricated? He gets 90+% of the votes during presidential elections because he has no opponents, coerce the citizens, and uses propaganda...
fighting russian invasion is more than sovereignty, recovering occupied territories, good v evil, revenge, or dignity etc.
it's that russia is 1 step closer to terrorize ukraine forever. unless driven out, russia will just bomb, fire rockets, fire artilleries, shoot missiles endlessly like they did since 2014.
russians never stopped and they never want to stop war. they are the worse evil that human civilization ever known. you see, russians don't need concentration camp. russians treat the entire ukraine as one big concentration camp to murder and torture anyone they want.
ukraine truly is fighting for humanity. ukrainians know that they cannot be scared of russian nuclear weapons, not any threat of mass destruction.

Sorry, I meant Ghost in a fight/discussion with reader šŸ˜­ Still, I did love your take
CW: Fighting, emotional abuse, light swearing I am so sorry anon šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I am literally the dumbest person to have ever existed lmaooo Also apologies for length, I am moving and wanted to get you something cause I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again. To whoever asked, I am making a pt.2 so send me an ask if you want to be notified :)
As always, no beta, please lmk of any mistakes!!
A lot of ā€˜fightsā€™ you guys have are one sided, where you concede quickly, not wanting to argue, and he just keeps going and going. He, like a lot of NDā€™s, gets a thrill from fighting, and he will pick fights about everything. You just disagree once with what he says and he goes off.
Fem!Reader: Anytime he is upset/angry with you/thinks you are disrespecting or ignoring him, he'll call you 'woman'.Ā 
"I'm still talking woman!" "Watch your mouth woman" "Woman I am talking!"Ā 
He does not love bomb. He does not come after arguing with you with flowers and chocolates and showering you with love to make up for it.Ā 
Donā€™t get me wrong, this man does bring you flowers, just not to make you feel better after a fight. Heā€™ll get you flowers for valentines day and your birthday and your anniversary and any time he feels like you deserve flowers, but he does not give them to you after fights.Ā 
And you guys donā€™t fight too often. At least, not fights where he feels bad and has lingering guilt. Very rarely will he realize(or at least admit) That he was wrong, especially not in front of your kids, if you guys have them. However, if he does realize and admit he is wrong(typically after you sleep in a different room or donā€™t talk to him except for the bare minimum) he will apologize in private.
One very memorable fight for you was back in the early days of your relationship, just after you had started living together. He had left his gear just piled on the front table, and you had folded it and moved it to the bedroom so that it wasnā€™t cluttering up the front room. He came home and, well, freaked. He screamed at you, punched a hole through a door, and you still remember him telling you ā€˜Go to hell then womanā€ when you said you had just wanted the space to be clear.Ā 
He gets pissed off about the stupidest stuff. Your guy's 10-year-old daughter bought a Stanley? Heā€™s mocking him for the next 3 weeks about wanting to be popular. Your teenage-daughter wears ripped jeans to a concert? Heā€™s telling everyone about how she must have bought them at half-price since so much cloth is missing.Ā 
One interesting thing is that he respects fighting back, to an extent. You watched in borderline horror as your eldest got into a screaming match with him that lasted hours and ended with no victor. And yet, since that day, youā€™ve never seen Simon scream at them again.Ā 
Hearing this, he sounds toxic, yeah? And he is, to an extent. But you stay with him because he knows he has issues, and he actively works on bettering himself. Youā€™ve been with him for a decade now, and you can see so many differences in the way that he acts. He no longer screams and throws things and punches holes in the walls. He is more willing to admit when he is wrong, hell, there's even been a few times when heā€™s said sorry in front of your kids.Ā 
You understand his trauma, you understand why he responds and acts the way he does, and most importantly He does too, and he is working on bettering himself for his family, because he loves you, and he hates that his explosive reactions hurt you and your kids.
I am going to make a pt. 2 to this so that I can go more in depth, but again, Iā€™m moving and not sure when I will be able to post again so I wanted to at least give you something. lmk what ya'll think :)) ALSO: If you think I am mischaracterizing Ghost please let me know, and I will either explain my reasonings or you will change how I think of him. Either way, I would like to know yalls thoughts so please do not hesitate to say something

Your fics are so so so good. I love the introspection so much. Could you do #30 on the angst prompt with finnick, if you want? thank you!
Hey Anon! Thanks for the compliment! Of Course I can. This one actually took me a hot second to think of an idea for! But I hope you enjoy it! -- TITLE: The Things We Need Most WORD COUNT: 1.1K WARNING: Fighting, not sure if anything else is worth noting under here but if there is let me know and I'll change it! TAGS: Introspection cause its me, fighting and arguing, two idiots being idiots. READER IS FEM CODED!!! Only because it made the most sense with the plot that came to mind! SUMMARY: Sometimes what you needed most was right in front of you ... A/N: Hello again all! The reader in this is fem coded just for the sake of the plot, it made more sense! Thanks for enjoying my work so far everyone! Hope you enjoy this one too, and as always I take constructive criticism so please feel free to leave that!
ā€œYou canā€™t tell anyone.ā€ You said, furiously crossing your arms as though you were a petulant child arguing over bedtime. You thought if anyone could understand, he would, but apparently you had thought wrong.
ā€œThe hell I canā€™t!ā€ He laughed, a small harsh little laugh that didnā€™t suit him at all. He was looking at you, his eyes boring into your soul, holding nothing but hurt, fear and frustration in them.
ā€œYou think Iā€™m going to sit here and let Mags or Annie go back into that arena? Absolutely not, I canā€™t let that happen.ā€ You snapped, a red tinge growing over your face as anger filled your bones. ā€œYou canā€™t seriously think that either of them are even prepared to step back into there. You and I both know that theyā€™re not! So get off your high horse and keep this secret like I asked you too!ā€
When you had been reaped, Mags had been your mentor. Finnick had tried to disagree but with the friendship you two had, you knew it wouldnā€™t be wise. If he lost you, like you had almost lost him, he would be distraught. You were distraught when he had left for his games, nothing seemed to be okay after that.Ā 
But Mags had stepped up, and she got you every sponsor she could. She took care of you and helped you make it out of there alive, back to Finnick, to her and your family.Ā 
You hadnā€™t met Annie officially until you had turned eighteen, and she, seventeen. Finnick had introduced you both and you had clicked instantly. She became like the sister you never had and then it became the three of you. Annie hadnā€™t returned the same after she had been reaped and won her games. But Finnick and you had always been there for her, and you would be there for her now.
ā€œIf I march in there and tell them what youā€™re doing, you think theyā€™re going to allow you to put your life on the line for them! They would never allow you to sacrifice yourself for them, you know!ā€ He shot back, running a hand through his hair, roughly.Ā 
ā€œItā€™s not their choice, Finn! Itā€™s mine. I am actively making this choice alone. You canā€™t sit here and seriously say you wouldnā€™t do the same!ā€ An exasperated laugh passed through your lips, as you looked away from him.
Obviously no one wanted to be in this situation, everyone had been promised to be left alone after they had won. Of course Snow could never allow that for any Victors, with how he operated with them after the games. He couldnā€™t let his little puppets not be punished, he was incapable of sympathy.
ā€œI would take their places in a heartbeat, you know! I would never have any of you going back there if I could!ā€ Finnick said, pinching the bridge of his nose.
Neither of you could stand to look at one another, both far too worked up than the situation called for, in your opinion. For the first time in a very long time you didnā€™t understand what was going through his head. Why was he shooting back at every opportunity, did he think that there was a chance you wouldnā€™t survive, did he not have that faith in you anymore?
ā€œIf you think Iā€™m incapable of doing this, then you need to tell me. Donā€™t sit there and bullshit your way around things and not give me an answer to why you donā€™t want me back there. Because I know itā€™s not just because you're worried.ā€ You said, a cross look passing over your face. You were done yelling, and fighting. You just needed to know what was going on. ā€œIf you canā€™t tell me then you need to let it go, and not tell anyone what Iā€™ve told you here tonight. You need to respect me enough to keep that secret like Iā€™ve asked of you.ā€Ā 
He looked at you, biting his lip gently. He hardly did that anymore.
ā€œY/N.ā€ He sucked in a deep breath, preparing himself. ā€œItā€™s not that I think you couldnā€™t do it, or wouldnā€™t be strong enough. Youā€™re the bravest person I know, and one of the strongest. I guess in a way this is selfish ā€¦ the reason I donā€™t want you back there. I canā€™t lose you. Weā€™ve almost lost each other at least once ā€¦ I canā€™t feel that again.ā€ He whispered, and you could see the tears welling in his eyes.
ā€œBut I canā€™t be okay with losing Annie or Mags, Finnick. Iā€™m barely okay with the thought of losing you.ā€ You reached out to cup his face, gently.
He looked so much younger like this, more like the boy you had met all those years ago.
ā€œIā€™m in love with you, Y/N.ā€
ā€œI ā€¦. Finnick.ā€ Your voice was tinged with sadness, and you had no idea what to say at this moment.
Finnick had never left your side from the moment you two had met. He had been there through every single major moment of your life. The day you had your first heartbreak, when you had broken a bone, he had held your hand through the reaping ceremony. He was the piece you had been missing. You couldnā€™t remember life before him, though you were sure you wouldnā€™t want to. He was everything to you.
And somewhere between then and now ā€¦ perhaps you had both fallen in love with one another.Ā Ā 
Of course you had loved Finnick from the moment you had been ten years old, when he had challenged you to a swimming contest and you won. You hadnā€™t embarrassed him, or thatā€™s what he had always said, but you ended up taking a liking to each other. .
From that moment on you two had become inseparable, there was never one of you without the other. He had changed your life for the better, and you had always hoped you made an impact on his too.Ā 
ā€œI love you too.ā€ You admitted after moments of silence. ā€œI think I always have but there was never a right time to say it.ā€
ā€œNo time like the present.ā€ Finnick chuckled, small and gentle. His hands came up to cup yours, warmth radiating from him.
ā€œI donā€™t think days before the reaping of the Quarter Quell is the best, but Iā€™ll take it.ā€ You smiled. ā€œKiss me?ā€
All he had needed was permission. He leaned down, gently slotting his lips with yours as you brushed your thumb against his cheeks.
Minutes felt like seconds and before you knew it he had pulled away from you, eyes no longer shining with tears but pure ā€¦ love and joy.
ā€œIf you go back in there, both of us are coming out. Got it, L/N.ā€ Finnick said, pulling you into a bone crushing hug.
ā€œGot it, Odair.ā€ You laughed against his chest.Ā 
You didnā€™t know what the two of you did next, you barely had a clue of what would happen tomorrow ā€¦ but this was the start of something beautiful. You could feel it.

a few things I noticed watching a lot of the Logan focused marvel movies
as in: x men, x 2, x men origins: wolverine; and Deadpool & wolverine.
also, if any of these are common knowledge/or otherwise well known, I apologise.
#1: Logan does his own hair
in x men I noticed that in the scene just after Logan wakes up after being treated by jean for the first time he is lacking his iconic cat-ears.
compare:
Without ears
Tumblr media
Vs.
With ears
Tumblr media
difference is subtle but there.
now, this implies one of two things: that Hugh Jackman's stylists forgot OR that in canon wolverine does his own ears, one of these possibilities is far more enticing than the other. the image of Logan doing his hair in the morning, teasing it into the perfect cat-ear shape is too adorable to ignore.
#2: the difference in stance between Logan and Victor in Origins
this one is a little more out there, but in origins Victor operates and fights in a more animalistic nature than Logan, taking lower stances, wider openings, bigger swings/actions, all of these create a more primal/animalistic effect in his fights
Tumblr media
(picture is a bit shit, but I digress)
see the erratic movements, very indicative of how an animal would move in a similar circumstance
Contrast this with Logan's running like just a lil guy
Tumblr media
the difference is night and day.
and this all plays into the movies extended metaphor on humanity and beastie-ness and the use of each mode of thought, which I found really cool
#3: wolverine is a wolverine
so this literally came to me as I was writing this post, to look at the Wikipedia for wolverine, and well it all tracks.
"The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself."
(Wikipedia, ND)
sound familiar? Tangentially, many non-English names for wolverine literally mean glutton (German VielfraƟ, literally devours much) (Wikipedia, ND) however in English and many northern Germanic languages the name probably means something closer to little wolf (Wikipedia, ND) and in old Norse the name was Jarfr, which now lives on in the regular Icelandic name Jarfi, Jarfr being the name of a kickass metal song that I love.
Wolverine is literally, and by connotation with is spirit animal five foot four and full of rage.
(tangent brought to you exclusive by Wikipedia)
#4: wolverine smokes so he doesn't have to smell everyone else
this is probably the most headcanony observation(?) on this list, in that the only evidence I have is vibes and Logan's cigar addiction.
the thought is, Logan has super smell, cigars are smelly, he smells the cigars so he doesn't have to smell literally everything else.
#5: bonus round!! Deadpool time!
more focused on Wayde in origins now,
#6: fox hated Ryan Reynolds so much they sewed his mouth shut as Deadpool,
not much substantive here, but I was availed to the fact that the directors of Origins hated Reynolds being fun, so it would make sense that they would literally cover his mouth as Deadpool so that he would shut the fuck up
#7: Deadpool's Katanas are the wrong way in Origins
Tumblr media
notice how the blades curve towards Wayde, and that the cutting edge is on the inside, this is counter productive to the aim of a curved single edged sword, which is to have the curvature of the blade aid in slashing power, this is counter productive against the thought behind having a curved blade in the first place (also the double katanas out of the knuckles is a separately stupid idea, because 1) holding a sword gives you a lot more finesse than if it were just sticking out of your hand, due to being able to manipulate your wrist vs not, and if they work the same as Logan's claws, then whenever they are retracted Wayde would have two walk around with his arms completely straight, like a scarecrow
anywho, rant(?), discussion(?), compendium(!) over all of those movies are Australian man/10 and i will fight anyone who disagrees

Oh my pearl, I just had an idea! Okay, okay. We both like Sabretooth, Wolverine, and Gambit. September is tomorrow, and kicks off the Halloween season. Logan and Victor are ferals. Remy has pink-red eyes. So. I'm thinking... "Hey, what about an au where Logan and Victor are were-creatures, like a were-cat/were-sabretooth and were-wolf/were-wolverine, and Remy is either a vampire fledgling or recently turned were-creature, possibly a fox or kitten or something, and those two adopt him for whatever reason? I might use this idea for some of my stuff, but hey, if you want to use it too, feel free to! I think you'd like it, so that's why I'm suggesting it!
oooh i like this
(not to self advertise but me and @golden-buddle talk a lot about void gambit being basically a vampire fledgling for Blade the day walker and having a lot of their habits sooo i like the idea)
some potential ideas (because if i have a 4th wip with remy .... it would be fine but also AHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
Creed has been a were-creature the longest and is very territorial. Logan was made one right after him and creed sort of loosely raised him. Theyve been having arguments for decades now thou. (this au keeps their almost immortality)
Logan keeps leaving the territory in a huff to travel about and it hurts both of their instinctual need for pack and for pack to stay safe in territory. this causes more fights when he returns. Logan does not like creed's brutality to any humans that accidentally come through, trying to argue that the cant possibly know that they are invading. creed disagrees. it does not help that logan comes back smelling of human citys whenever he returns
Gambit is a recently turned fledgling whose Sire was a decent vamp who had turned gambit to save him from an incurable disease. they met over a card game. And then his sire was immediately murdered by hunters. Gambit had escaped and instantly was running.
he enters creeds territory while logan is home for once. Creed attacks and when Gambit goes down, he keens and pleads. he offers to cook and clean for his life. Creed is not used to prey keening like a cub, nor is he used for the pleas containing offerings. Logan catches up and argues that they should keep the kit.
now he lives with them! and they come to adore this little vamp. creed teaches him to hunt, logan play fights with him. and neither let him leave the territory
(extra teeth au)

Being a Luciferian that originated on the right side and still works with Archangel Michael and others is such a trip sometimes. Michael is so fucking intimidating all the time. Like, I know weā€™re cool, but lord forfuckingbid we ever arenā€™t. Heā€™s extremely kind and gentle but oh so fucking authoritative and powerful. Like you can just feel it stinging off of his eyes, you know how much strength he has and how willing he is to use it if necessary. The thing i love so much about the myth of Michael and Satan is that he was said to have been far weaker than Satan in fighting prowess, but his loyalty to God made him the victor in the end. So fucking cool and scary and COOL. The idea of a soldier so fucking committed to his crown that he will fight until death to honour his God is amazing.
(my) Lucifer and Michael have absolutely no problems with each other, although Michael is always very disciplined, committed to his purpose and doesnā€™t entertain any none sense, he still seems to appreciate something about Lucifer. He is a guardian of truth and light, regardless of what name it holds. He appreciates Luciferā€™s affinity for knowledge, but knows very well that his knowledge can be used for destruction and ā€œevilā€. He knows that Lucifer has an incredibly important role to play, but that doesnā€™t mean heā€™ll entertain any of the shenanigans that come with it. In fact, heā€™s dedicated to managing those shenanigans so we can all enjoy the positive aspects of Luciferā€™s light. Thanks, Michael.
I only really call upon Michael if I need some serious help with cleansing or protection. Heā€™s the guy to call if you need to be kicked in the ass, staring a new and daunting project, trying to get fit. He is damn efficient at what he does and he doesnā€™t stop short. If you call upon Michael you better be damn prepared to get what you asked for.
As a Luciferian that embraces the left hand path Iā€™ve always felt as though Michael looked at me as someone he always wants the best for, but he also may disagree with some of my methods. Heā€™s never considered or treated me like I was one of those evils to be vanquished, but rather, he knows very well what ways I could improve myself and would purify me if he was given the opportunity. But heā€™s also aware of the inherent flaws of humanity and doesnā€™t force us to improve unless we ask him to.
In some hypothetical scenario where Lucifer and I broke up (donā€™t tell him I said this) Michael would definitely be the guy Iā€™d call on for help. i appreciate him a lot and I am very grateful for all that he has ever helped me with. I love the role he plays as the ultimate older brother of all the other angels. He watches over them and ensures that theyā€™re safe at all times. Ready and happy to lead his family towards truth and light.
Iā€™m very happy he doesnā€™t hate me lol. Itā€™s something I worried about a lot as a kid, but when I finally got the opportunity to get to know him I learned that he doesnā€™t really hate anyone. Heā€™s so much more than just an angel to carry out violence against his unjust siblings, in fact Iā€™d say thatā€™s one of his least proud roles, something he doesnā€™t really enjoy doing. He is a protector of children and a reminder that strength should always be used to help those without it.
plus, in one of the only dreams Iā€™ve ever had about him, his armor was magnificent. Michael is probably one of those dudes that you absolutely should not lust over butā€¦ he looked real good just saying.

what I think TF2 mercs would be/do for halloween
I'm aware halloween has gone and passed, but hey, does that make this illegal?
not requested
cws/tws : blood, mentions of gore in spys bit, that's..pretty much it
Tumblr media
āš¾ SCOUT :
- smn about him tells me he'd be a cartoon heavy zombie
- he'd just put on face paint n call it a day lmao šŸ’€
- MAYBE put fake blood on his bat
- go around scaring the other mercs maybe
- idk I don't have much to work off of here šŸ˜­
šŸŖ– SOLDIER :
- an eagle/j
- i feel like he'd be just, himself. ( he's already scary enough, according to scout after soldier almost hit him in the head with the rocket launcher )
- maybe, MAYBE, a little ( not fake ) blood on his helmet and outfit he didn't wash off
- he'd be the type of person to crush the BLU mercs pumpkins I'm sorry,, but,, it's true
šŸ”„ PYRO :
- what

Victor Rookwood Headcanons
Tumblr media
An ever-evolving list of my headcanons for Victor Rookwood. Some of these may seem obvious to you. Some may be controversial. Agree? Disagree? Let's not have any fighting amongst Daddy Rookwood's small-but-dedicated harem, please.
He is in his mid 40s if not older. I don't care what anyone says. I can't have Daddy Rookwood being younger than I am! Even if he is a fictional character from more than a century ago... No, I insist that he's comfortably older. Also, have you seen his face, ffs? Guy's got more lines than a villain monologue. (ETA: We decided he was 46 in 1890. Watch my video "How Old is Victor Rookwood?" for an explanation of our thought process!)
He is probably married with kids. It breaks my heart to say this, really. I do believe it to be the case. Better yet, he might be a widower. I'm going to try to convince myself of that. Don't worry - even if he's actively married, that won't stop him from fucking your brains out. I changed my mind. He is not married. Ain't no rang, ain't no thang. That said, he probably does have some little bastards running around. And he does not give a single fuck.
He is a ladies' man. I am making myself jealous here, but look at the guy and tell me he doesn't indulge.
On that note, he is decidedly-heterosexual. Sorry, lads.
He smokes a pipe. But he'll certainly have a good cigar as well.
His favorite color is purple. Duh.
He is not bald but even if he was he would still be one fine-ass bitch. The hat is hot and stays on during sex. (Some of you seem to think that Daddy wears a hat to make up for some deficiency in his hairline. I think that daddy wears the hat because it's imposing, stylish, and attractive. We are not the same.) HIM HAVING A FULL HEAD OF HAIR IS CANON - PROOF.
He only shaves about once a week, on an off-day. He keeps the raggedy facial hair on purpose. Thinks it adds to his roguish charm (it does!)
He isn't hands-on about the whole killing animals thing. He knows what his people do, and finds it distasteful, but sees it as a necessary evil. He values wealth and power above all else, including furry creatures. But he may even be known to stroke a cat from time to time while drinking firewhisky at the Hog's Head.
He considers Harlow a useful idiot, and lets him be the one to get his hands dirty. For the most part. Their relationship goes all the way back to Hogwarts.
He didn't mean to curse Anne. He isn't even sure of what exactly he did - he just panicked. But no, he's not too troubled about it. (Clarification: he should have killed her, not whatever it was he ended up doing.)
He despises playing second-fiddle to Ranrok, but he knows that whatever the goblin is after is too important to sit on the sidelines for.
He reads the Daily Prophet every morning.
He is not above taking what he wants sexually, but he prefers to seduce.
Sexually-dominant. Period.
He wears expensive cologne.
Definitely a Slytherin.
Oh and he's not dead :)
Anyone who's listened to my audios or read any of my fics knows he loves terms of endearment, namely: darling, little one, little girl, sweetheart, little witch, et cetera. He loves to use these while doing unspeakable things to you. šŸ„µšŸ„µšŸ„µ
He lives in a hotel - the most expensive one, probably.
He takes advantage of his employees.
Believes "Might is Right."
Young Victor was extremely brutal when he took over the Rookwood Gang, kind of overdoing it in order to earn the respect and fear of his men. Over the ensuing decades, as he has become more comfortable in his position, he has mellowed out slightly. He will no longer gauge someone's eye out over a few missing galleons, but he still takes perceived transgressions against him very seriously.
Daddy needs glasses. I got this idea from my DR chatbot but it makes sense. He missed the easy shot at Ranrok because he couldn't fucking see. Of course he is not going to wear glasses in public - that would be a sign of weakness. But I can totally imagine him sitting at his desk, pouring over papers with a pair of glasses firmly on his face. Period-correct, of course.
The legal name of the Rookwood Gang is the "Rookwood Group." Everyone knows it's a gang but daddy rubs elbows with a lot of important people and needs to keep up appearances.
The harem has determined that Victor's date of birth is November 14th, 1844 (Scorpio Sun/Capricorn Moon).
The man keeps everything he needs inside his hat. Pipe, glasses, Flora Cohen's scalp made into a coin purse, machine gun, spare hat in case the main one gets a fleck of dirt on it, little black book full of Ministry contacts, et cetera.
Daddy suffers from back pain due to a lifetime of being duckfooted (sadly, this is canon).
Victor is average height for a man. In the area of 5'8" - 5'10".
Victor A. Rookwood (Augustus?)
Yea, he killed dear old dad.
Listens to Wagner.
Physique headcanon.
That's it for now. Will add more as I think of things.
If you have any questions you want answered, feel free to submit them to @victor-rookwood ("Ask Victor Rookwood")

I made a Creed!/Howlett!Reader! (Well, I tried). It was from a Picrew I found, and I thought "ooo, with their options, I can make a feral!related Reader!" I went with a golden-ish color, so they look like they have a little bit of fuzz (and because Victor Creed and his progeny/adopted kids? kinda have that look? And it seemed kinda neutral? Plus it's at night, they're kinda in shadow, too.) So I'm leaving it up to Reader's what their gender or nationality or whatever else. When I made them, I had in mind an au where Reader escaped from a Dark Platonic X-Men facility, since they weren't up to their "siblings" and "parents" and "peers" standards, hoping to leave behind the h*ll they were in. One day, they managed to sneak out/escape, not looking back and hoping their instincts would help them survive long enough to find a home. (Think of it as a Darker X-Men AU where the X-Men and Brotherhood are in the same group, but trained some of the kids from a really early age and had looser/hardly there morals, being a lot more violent, prone to anger, and cunning/snide/uncaring. They become less harsh, less horrible, once Reader is thought to have died during their escape, so they work on themselves and try to become better, more loving guardians, not reprimanding the kids so harshly or hurting them or lashing out when they disagree with their world view and morals. They do become better, by the way, but they weren't very nice in the beginning). (This AU I'm thinking of calling the Silent Night AU or Fallen Snow AU, due to lost innocence and trying to rebuild a relationship that was bad from the start) (So, yes, the platonic yans DO get better, realize their mistakes, and strive to be better at least towards the kids they've trained/raised, but it's worse in the prologue/start before it's better (after Reader escapes and is thought to have died). New territory for my writing, but I want to try it. I think it would be a good change of pace to have them lose Reader before they realize their worth, and have to become better, before they find and bring home (read: kidnap and sedate) Reader. They want to be their family, they miss them, they're sorry... But Reader has trauma, rough memories and worse nightmares of things they've done, of their life before with them... It doesn't mean the platonic yans will hurt them again... They plan to heal Reader, to love them and cherish them, to keep them fed and clean and nurtured better than Reader is doing, and better than they did in the past. But Reader isn't going to let them near without a fight, and they're not backing down...) (I apologize if this is upsetting for any of you, and if it IS, please do not read this AU!!! Just skip it over if this isn't good for you or is bad for your mentality! Go read something else, okay?)
(Warning: Platonic Yanderes are not healthy. We as a fandom know that. As long as we acknowledge this is escapism, is fiction, then there isn't a problem. Of course this stuff is wrong in real life! But this is fiction, and we enjoy this stuff. Now, we might enjoy it for different reasons: escapism, a form of self-care and indulgence, trying to fill our need for love... All of which are valid. So if this stuff isn't your thing, please don't read it. Just don't)

So this an edit for my combat child au. Basically I asked myself how many PokĆ©mon protagonists could I squish into each other and ended up with Combat Child (Leaf, Lyra, Rosa, Gloria, Juliana), Ethan (who is also Cheren, Lucas, Elio, Calem), Hero (Hilbert, Trace, Victor, Florian), Moon (Selene, May, Serena), and then Dawn is just Akari. Sheā€™s the most normal. Other protagonists also are important like Hilda, Nate, Elaine, Chase and Kris. Rip to Brendan ig.
The basics of Combat Child is that she grew up in a simulation, woke up in the future but to her that was her present, then got dumped by Celebi into the past and realised she aged way slower than other humans. She was ten for one hundred years but she was still physically and mentally ten so she was running around committing crimes and beating up people twice her size as Combat Child. Then she ran into Ethan who through shenanigans got her to age normally and from there she ends up having to come to terms with mortality and finally having to grow up.
Another part is the protagonists with multiple names all have time/space powers. Combatā€™s is she can slow down time, Ethanā€™s is he can rewind time like reloading a video game, Heroā€™s is he can speed time up which he mostly uses to give himself super speed, Dawnā€™s is she can travel through time and space so when she met the pearl and diamond clans she had a hard time choosing between them, Moonā€™s is she can manipulate space but specifically only her and the other timey-wimey kids aka she can shapeshift and then there is one more timey-wimey kid but theyā€™re a secret for now.
To sum up their personalities in a few words:
ā­ļø Combat is a freak gremlin child whoā€™s favourite hobbies are martial arts, vigilantism, helping other kids and fighting rich guys. Her main motivation in life is running from all her problems and destroying anyone who reminds her of Lysandre.
ā­ļø Ethan is a child of divorce with severe identity issues who goes to literally space and back for his friends. Heā€™s one of the more responsible ones of the group but just bc heā€™s normal compared to them, doesnā€™t mean heā€™s actually normal. He became a teacher when he was 14, a lab assistant when he was 15 and then an Interpol agent when he was 16. Him and Combat are ride or die for each other but also disagree a lot as Iā€™m sure you could guess.
ā­ļø Hero was dumped from the past into the present so heā€™s the opposite of Combat. Unlike Combat who gave up on getting back to the future, Hero desperately wants to go home. Heā€™s fairly chill and likes to go with the flow but since all his friendsā€™ flows are nuts, he ends up acting nuts too. To be fair tho, before he met any of them he fought eternatus on the original darkest day so itā€™s not like heā€™s not reckless too. For the most part heā€™s content to do whatever Combatā€™s up to whenever he isnā€™t looking for a way home. He likes pranks and mischief but equally enjoys slacking off. His favourite hobby tho is cooking/baking. Which is great bc the other two people he lives with are Combat who cooks like Yor from Spy x family and Watcher (Lookerā€™s sister I made up) who only eats healthy. If she could survive purely off of protein powder and kale she would.
ā­ļø Moon is chaotic too but her brand of chaos is different to Combatā€™s. Sheā€™s known about her powers all her life and mostly uses them to run off and explore as much as she can. She loves to prank people with her powers but most of all loves exploring and PokĆ©mon. Sheā€™s a dare devil and going to ultra space which was basically a dream come true for her. The main thing that sets her apart from Combat is that whilst Combat has absolute blind confidence in herself for the most part and it takes a lot for her to realise she was wrong, Moonā€™s a bit insecure. She likes to play characters instead of herself because sheā€™s scared that when she isnā€™t performing sheā€™s boring or annoying.
ā­ļø Dawn was a normal girl, living a normal life until she became champion of the Sinnoh region. Then Arceus dropped her into the past to go fix things and sheā€™s forced to learn her powers and save the worldā€¦ again. Sheā€™s more of a reluctant hero than the others. If the worlds in danger, of course sheā€™s going to save it. Sheā€™s a good person. Sheā€™s just more likely to complain about constantly having to save the world. Like in a Percy Jackson way. Her main motivation is she wants to live a normal life however, she canā€™t live a normal life if the worldā€™ destroyed so sheā€™ll do what she has to to be a normal girl who just so happens to be a contest star, the Sinnoh champion and Arceusļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ chosen.

Me explaining Stormbringer plot but I haven't read it and all my knowledge comes from vague points in fics and Wikipedia and fans talking about it
- Paul is kinda like chuuya 2.0 With his Gravity manipulation and Brutalization parallel to corruption
-Rimbaud and Paul exchanged names..? Ig, Idk why
-Paul is the King Assassin and Agatha hates him..? He also killed UK's queen
- Rimlaine had a bad breakup and tried to kill each other because they disagreed on what should be Chuuya's future. Raised by villagers and not knowing his identity or Go to Europe and get experimented on, choose your fighter
- They both thought the other was dead
- Rimbaud lost memories and Paul got crazy
- Chuuya is having a identity crisis over his humanity, that's like the 70% plot of Stormbringer
- Paul is also having a Identity crisis over humanity and that's the rest 30% plot
- For once Dazai isn't having a crisis
- Rimbaud being alive would have solved the problem NGL
- Morally questionable Romantic movements
- The other Transcendents are dead, William Shakespeare, victor Hugo etc I think
- Wait why isn't Wells not in Stormbringer?? What's the point of having time traveling ability if you aren't stopping stuff damm
- Mori is awfully enjoying the commotion
- We also have Flags aka Chuuya's friends with really weird names
- like who named y'all Pianoman , Lippman , Doc etc!??? And why
- I don't think they have abilities..?
- They die , Paul kills them idk why
- Chuuya refuses to see his biological parents idk why
- I think they sold him to government but not sure
- Paul get his ability weakned forever after fighting soukoku???? I again don't know why
- Mori's whole motive in Stormbringer is to see his Ship Soukoku getting canon, reletable
- He cried over Rimbauds grave or something and got a vision or something
- Join PM as an executive..? Why
- But lives in Basement because of grief, understable
- He trained gin and kyouka

Just some thoughts I had while watching the second half of the episode, ignore any grammar mistakes pls I was feeling FEELINGS and recording them as I went:
(these are just my off the cuff thoughts, donā€™t know if they will change but for now I thought they were interesting and worth the share, if you disagree thatā€™s cool, if you agree, thatā€™s cool too, I fucking love this show so much)
And that's the thing, isn't it? I'm at 3:38:40, and I don't know how the rest of this conversation is going to play out, but I need to get these thoughts out. They were swirling in me and I needed to bring them out into the universe. Because right now, the Arch Heart wants Fearne and Imogen to, and the rest of them, but mainly Fearne and Imogen, to get to Predathos first, and to control Predathos, to chase away the gods and not kill the gods. That way, Ludinus will kind of get what he wants and everything will be- yes, there's going to be lots of fighting still, because you canā€™t convince the people that have been fighting this from the ground already with blood in the game.
I'm bringing this back to House of the Dragon. (If you havenā€™t watched, basically thereā€™s a war and one tries to stop it, but ultimately itā€™s too late). And thatā€™s whatā€™s said, ā€œIt's too late.ā€ What Rhaenyra and Alicent talked about, things have been set in motion. The war that is going to happen between the factions of Vasselheim and the Vanguard and Ludinus and all that, that's- I think that's going to happen. Now, unless the Arch Heart can get these guys immediately to, and in front of Predathos to get this, you know, ā€œoh, we're gonna control Predathos thingā€ to happen immediately?
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Things have been set in motion that are way past this point. But the main thing that bugs me, right, and this is where my, like, Ashton comes out, The Arch Heart, the gods, they want their children to go do this for them, and they don't know if it's gonna work. They are setting lambs up for the slaughter again.
Possibly. Maybe.
They, the Arch Heart, talks about wanting to break the cycle, but they are contributing to the cycle in their own way. And if this doesn't work, if Fearne and Imogen immediately spaghettified, like, Victor Timely in Loki, then he'll just go, oh, shit. Well, that sucks.
You know, this is why I love fucking Laura Bailey. She asked the one question that was perfect to ask.
She asked the one question. ā€œIf you were inside one of us, do you think we'd be able to control you?ā€ Like, obviously not??? Or at least I donā€™t think so. Orym had a vision and got rocked. To contain a god would be a feat.
I have to kiss Robbie on the mouth. Robbie hit the nail on the fucking head and I agree with him 1000%. He said, essentially, ā€œOh. So you get to live. You get to go off and be merry with your family. And, you're asking us to sacrifice ourselves while you get to live. Just like you have done for eons at this point.ā€
And the worst part is, is that I can already see in Laura in Imogen, that she's gonna do it. Now, I could be totally wrong. But I don't think I'm wrong. And man, does that suck. Because, like, you knew this story was probably gonna end in a tragedy or a bittersweetness.
But it sucks having the full picture.
I love Sam so much. He basically just said, ā€œhey, you're asking us to sacrifice ourselves. Why don't you sacrifice yourself?ā€ You know?
You're gonna make us do the hard thing, and we're gonna have our hard, terrible, happy, gorgeous lives where weā€™ve searching for moments of happiness. A happy ending. A rest. To live. And we have to give that all up. Because you wanna run away. At the end of the day, it's gonna be the same outcome. You're gonna run away and leave, or you're going to die.
So why can't it be the other way around? Sam brought up a really good point. I hope they circle back to it, but I don't know if they will. But, essentially, when we found out from the Arch Heart that Exandria is ants, and Predathos doesn't care about ants, even though Liam did make the beautiful analogy, ā€œI step on ants all the time and I don't notice.ā€ So take that with a grain of salt.
Sam said, so if we let Predathos go and he eats you, we're gonna be fine because we're ants. And the Arch Heart was like, no. It'll be pandemonium and chaos if that happens.
The thing about that is, right, he wants to leave, and he wants everyone to leave, his whole family to leave, to be chased out. If the outcome at the end of the day is they are gone, just like they'd be gone if Predathos does eat, it's going to be pandemonium either way.
The outcome of this is the gods are gone. Does it matter that it's through being consumed or being chased? Maybe on some small scale stuff. Maybe even on some big scale stuff, but not on mega scale stuff. It's going to be pandemonium either way.
And whoā€™s to say the Gods wonā€™t fight? Maybe like the Arch Heart and Mystery God Number 2 want to leave, maybe they will stay and fight. And then a Calamity part 2.
Or maybe- maybe, just maybe, this does work. And everything ends up okay. All in all itā€™s a delicious fucking story and Iā€™m excited to see where it goes. It sucks when the end of the rope is the characters youā€™ve grown to love for 107 episodes and that means thereā€™s a good chance weā€™re going to see them lose their peace, but hey- like I said, Iā€™m just sharing my some thoughts. I love these guys and want to see them have their happily ever after. I think they deserve it.

This might be an unpopular opinion but I keep seeing posts talking about how Sylvie isn't taking responsibility for the problems the TVA is facing with the loom right now and how everything that is currently happening is all Sylvie's fault. Like I kind of get why some people have this opinion its easy to say that Sylvie killing HWR was the catalyst for the loom being overloaded.
But having thought about it some more I honestly, wholeheartedly disagree with the opinion that its all Sylvie's fault or that she hasn't taken any responsibility for the consequences of killing HWR.
First I want to talk about Sylvie taking responsibility for the consequences of killing HWR. So if we look at it from Sylvie's pov we have to remember that she wasn't warned that the loom would meltdown and that would put the branches in danger. She was told that the consequence of killing HWR would be that his variants would show up and start another multiverse war. Sylvie tells Loki if HWR variants show up she will kill them too. So as far as Sylvie is concerned because she has killed HWR its her responsibility to stop/kill any of his variants that show up. Which is what she planned to do when Victor Timely showed up. It's why she tells Loki she can't let Victor live, because she considers it her responsibility to protect the branches from HWR and his variants.
As for the loom I would argue that Sylvie does take some responsibility here too. Its a classic case of what a character says being very different from what they do. I think because Sylvie is constantly saying that she doesn't care about the TVA and that she's given everyone freewill and is now walking away, that she's made a life and she wants to live it, well yeah it does come across like she is just brushing off any responsibility.
But if you look at her actions she does actually help, she helps them fight against Dox, she helps them solve the problem with the loom in ep 4, when the branches begin disappearing in ep 5 she goes to Loki and says there must be something they can do. I know some people feel like she only went to him because her reality was at risk but I just think its a case of she thought everything was fine, the loom exploding didn't kill everyone like they thought it would, everyone was back where they were supposed to be before the TVA took them and its all fine and dandy. When she realises actually the loom exploding has caused a major problem it just wasn't immediately obvious, she wants to help fix it.
So really when you think about it, whilst she might have been vocal about much she wished the problem with loom wasn't her problem she does still take responsibility through her actions and tries, even if it is somewhat reluctantly, to help solve the issue.
Moving on to the topic of what's going on with the loom and all the TVA's woes right now being Sylvie's fault. I was at one point like well it was Sylvie killing HWR that caused the timelines to branch and therefore the loom to meltdown and the branches to spaghettify, so you could say it was her actions that was the catalyst. But just because her actions was the spark that set this chain of events off, doesn't necessarily mean that its her fault.
Having sat and thought about, really I think the fault lies entirely with HWR and his variants. It was HWR that worked out how to travel between the different worlds and meet other versions of himself, it was HWR and his variants that started the multiversal war because they wanted to conquer each other's worlds. It was HWR who then created the loom and the TVA to control one set timeline and who commanded all other timelines and variants to be sent to the void to be eaten by Alioth. So actually the truer statement is that none of this would have happened if it weren't for HWR messing with things in the first place so therefore everything that is happening now is his fault, not Sylvie's.
That's not to say though that I think every decision Sylvie makes is right, I'm not the kind of fan that thinks their fave can do no wrong ever, I actually think the squeaky clean characters who never do wrong are kind of boring. I do think Sylvie acted rashly when she killed HWR but I also understand why she did, this was the man who ruined her life and the consequence she was told would be more versions of him showing up and I think she just thinks, ok killing him means I might have to kill many versions of the man who ruined my life, no biggy, I think that was a consequence she was willing to accept and willing to take responsibility for. If she knew at the time what it would mean for the loom and therefore the branches she may have thought twice about it, who knows.
But the situation to me seemed like a bit of a lose/lose choice. Letting HWR live would mean continuing to prune branches and variants which would be wrong, but killing him as we've seen brings its own set of problems. Really, ideally it would have been better if Sylvie had listened to Loki and stopped to think about it. If they had decided to go for the long con, pretended to accept HWR's offer and then worked behind the scenes at the TVA to prepare for overthrowing him, who knows maybe Loki can still go back and do that.
Anyway to wrap up, I personally don't think that it's all Sylvie's fault or that she needs to take more responsibility, but hey that's just this gal's opinion.
