[Fateverse: The Traveler] (We’re Not a) Team
you guys You Guys YOU GUYS YOU GUYS
i found it. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee =3
i gave the file the wonderfully accurate and unhelpful title of "TEMP," because i was adding its HTML tags and got interrupted.
Wade and Forecaster land in a Titans-verse on their first solo assignment (thanks to Jormungandr’s map).
Warnings: Dimension-hopping. An alternate DC timeline based on kind of a mashup of Titans and Young Justice, diverging somewhere in the middle of Titans season 2 and just stealing little tidbits of YJ; as such, contains spoilers for Titans but not for YJ (for example: Hank is alive and Blackfire is still on Tamaran living it up and reforming their objectively gross caste system). Language: PG-13 (primetime TV plus s*** and f***).
Pairing: background Dick/Connor (do we still call that rarepair SuperNight, or am I out of date again?).
Timeline: several years after Titans season 2.
Disclaimer: recognizeable characters and properties belong to DC, Marvel, WB, et al.
We’re Not a Team
Wade looks around. An involuntary shiver creeps up his spine. “Whoa. I don’t feel right, Effcee.”
~It’s the phase misalignment. Wades aren’t used to not matching their surroundings.~
“If I’m misaligned, doesn’t that mean I’m damaging the stability of this branch?”
~A little. But we shouldn’t have to worry about that for a couple of days, at least.~
“Which is when what happens, exactly? The destabilization gets too bad to fix?”
~Nahhhh. Usually, local loci—heh, that’s fun to say—will come do some automatic tuning before it gets that bad.~
“Meaning one of this branch’s plot devices is gonna come kill the fuck outta me.”
~Anything sounds bad when you say it with that attitude.~
“Should I have tried to sound more cheerful about my potentially impending horrible death?”
~Always look on the briiight siiiide of death!~
Wade blames his somewhat Pavlovian response to song fragments for the way he automatically whistles along. “So, where’s that subject shrapnel we’re chasing?”
~Scanning, please wait… Whaaaaat?~
“What?” Wade echoes. “What ‘what’? Q’est ce que ‘what’?”
~Uh. It’s…you? But not you-you? Resonance says it’s a Wade, but everything else is way outta whack. And we’ve got a Bishop around here, prolly chasing him. That’s all I got from local residue. Find me a wifi hotspot, and I’ll see what the Interwebs turns up.~
So Wade heads for the Starbucks he sees at the end of the block. He gets a triple-shot breve while he waits, and may or may not accidentally hear some radio chatter on a police band about some sports team losing some game.
~Okay, so according to this universe’s version of Reddit, we’re on Young Justice turf. Let’s see…we got Teen Titans on each coast…we got some celebrity couples… Nice TikTok vid of the green-haired kid and the goth chick acting out key Disney romance scenes with reversed gender roles… Oh shit, son! Not-you is a baby—the most talked-about baby on the planet right now. Billionaire philanthropist tech mogul Bruce Wayne’s adopted grandkid, Wade Grayson, mysteriously vanished from the public eye one year ago today… Wade, my guy, baby-you is Dick Grayson’s kid, how freaking awesome is that?~
“Oh, shit—is that where we are? Damn, son! His other dad is Superboy.”
~Missing as of yesterday. The Internet is aflame with conspiracy theories, because of the timing. Young Justice is poking around…their little Atlantean dude is closest, by my scans.~
“Sweeeet, let’s book it.”
~Nobody says that anymore, Wade.~
Wade chooses to ignore that. He follows Forecaster’s map a few blocks and into an alley—where some young guy is going waterbender on Bishop.
“You!” Wade and Bishop say at the same time (and possibly with the same level of annoyance).
“Aren’t there any other time-traveling douchebags out there?” Wade complains.
“I was just thinking the same thing about you.”
“And don’t you have anything better to do than twaddle around the Timestream circumventing free will and murdering babies?”
Bishop ducks a spear made of water and says, “That’s a gross oversimplification!”
“Your face is a gross oversimplification!” Wade retorts, and squeezes off a few rounds.
Blocked by the nifty robot hand, but it was worth a try, and it gets the kid an opening to bash Bishop in the face with a hammer.
“Pffft, water-hammer… Who said physics isn’t funny?”
“Enough!” yells Bishop, and he does his obnoxious blinding glowworm trick.
When Wade can see again, the creep is nowhere to be found.
“Who the heck are you?” the kid asks Wade. “And how do you know Bishop?”
“Eh, I’ve had to kill a couple Bishops before. As for who I am? Short answer: good guy.”
“Long answer?”
“Wade Wilson, meta-human Swiss Army Knife and dimension-hopping do-gooder. I’m pretty sure I’m here to stop Bishop from killing Nightwing’s kid, who is both me and not-me. Gonna assume at the moment that means my first step is finding and-or rescuing the boytoy.”
“Superboy,” the kid says helpfully. “Robin and I found a clue and split up, and suddenly I’m facing off with sci-fi-Wilt-Chamberlain. From what he was up to the last time we saw him, that means I’m on the right track.”
Wade turns a circle. “In an alley?”
“I’m pretty sure there’s a secret LexCorp lab nearby.”
“Better call the gang, then. Effcee, anything secret-labby?”
~Like the suspicious amount of shielding on the building to your right? Hard to tell for sure, but the scans I can get make it look abandoned.~
“Huh. Guess we don’t need a team, then.” Wade shrugs, extends a blade, and takes an experimental swipe at the wall of the building in question. The brick is easy, but he whacks something solid enough that he pulls something in his shoulder.
~Try the eye-lasers.~
“I hate the eye-lasers.”
~You got a better idea?~
“One of the Just Youngins goes punchy-punchy, right? Whatever the current Wonder Woman equivalent is. Is it another Wonder Girl, or did they go with something less derivative?”
~Narp. The current Wonder Girl is a Teen Tighty. Super-Dad is the team’s punchy-punchy, thus currently indisposed.~
“Stupid useful itchy eye-lasers,” Wade grumbles, and focuses on glaring the wall to death.
“Oh, sh—” Waterboy yelps, ducking behind Wade.
Something heavy falls inside the building.
Hope that wasn’t structural…
Wade kicks down the door he cut into the wall.
“Can we slow down a little? I called the team, so we’ll have backup in a few minutes. Martian or Nightwing would be super-helpful.”
“When it looks like we just hit money?” Wade scoffs, craning his neck to survey all the nifty LexCorp doodads. “How awesome would it be to find and rescue a Superdude without any help from a bat or a bird? That’d finally get the Water Tribe some respect, right? I mean, there’s whole universes out there that mock Aquaman as the absolute lamest member of the Justice League.”
“What!?” squawks the younger man. “After he made a literal dragon out of seawater and crunched a battleship in half?”
“Huh. He can do that?”
“Yes! It was extremely badass. He even did a hair-flip after, and I’m pretty sure half the bystanders swooned.”
“Can you do that?”
“Not that big, but you saw me earlier.”
“No, the hair-flip.”
Damp Scamp, who has very short hair, is Not Amused.
“Kidding, kidding, jeez,” Wade mutters with a grimace. “Could you have, for instance, seeped the water from these puddles into the mortar of the wall and then made it explode?”
“Yup,” the kid says, clearly not a fan of Wade’s fail-better-faster approach to problem-solving.
D’oh!
“Uh. Oops? My bad, yo.”
The current Robin drops into the alley from somewhere (Wade looks up, but there’s no fire escapes or open windows). “Three questions: who were you fighting; who’s the new guy; and are we going in, or what?”
“Three answers: Marxist Baby-Killer; Wade Wilson, big fan of your work; and sure, let’s find some clues to where the baddies stashed Super-Dad. How do you not know who Bishop is when Sokka over here said you guys have fought him before?”
“That was Bishop? I was dealing with my own thing at the time—Dick didn’t even tell me it had happened until he’d sent Hank and the baby into hiding and they’d already put Bishop in Iron Heights Prison.” Robin makes a face that Wade would hazard to classify as thoughtful. “How’d you cut through the wall?”
“Itchy eye-lasers. It’s a mutant thing.”
“Hm. Let’s go.”
A yellow blur resolves itself into a kid with auburn hair and a dorky super-suit. “Sorry I’m late—pizza craving. You buzzed, Kaldur?”
“LexCorp lab, and try not to break anything,” Robin says. He pauses to level each of them with a stern look. “That goes for all three of you.”
“Have we met?” the new kid asks Wade.
“Wade Wilson, interdimensional bounty hunter, here to unfuck this shit with Bishop and the presumably-super-powered mysterious baby.”
“Wowsers. I’d try to be skeptical of you, but it’s been that kinda week. Plus, said mysterious baby has always tickled my brain with questions his dads refused to acknowledge, like, ‘where did this creepy baby come from’ and ‘how can the creepy baby change his DNA’ and ‘why the hell was the creepy baby’s first word “Donna” when I am clearly the superior babysitter’. Anyway, I’m Kid Flash, nice to meetcha.”
“What do you think Bishop was after?” Aquadude asks as they try to figure out whether anything’s been taken or disturbed.
“Truth serum?” Robin speculates. “Kryptonite tools? Some sort of mind-reading device? Kryptonian DNA tracker?”
“This looks computer-y,” Wade declares, and thrusts Forecaster at a large array of electronics meaningfully.
~Y’know, a ‘please’ would be nice.~
“Please crack into Lex Luthor’s evil network so we can do our job and not get fired on our very first solo mission.”
~Sheesh, you’re so grumpy these days…~
Screens and control panels light up. Gibberish scrolls by.
~Well, no convenient ‘we got Superboy stashed here’ signs, but logs say ol’ Skywalker came and got a control chip for some doohickey that’s supposed to let you view and record somebody’s memories. They got some kooky drug that makes people more suggestable, but apparently that adds a risk of brain damage. Ooh, doesn’t seem to work on Kryptonians, so that’s good news.~
Flash Junior’s comm buzzes, and he answers it. “Yello!”
~“Nightwing is missing.”~
~Yikes,~ says Forecaster. ~Guess we know whose memories they’re planning to poke through.~
“That’s pretty terrible news, Meggles,” the auburn idiot relays.
~“My name is not ‘Meggles.’ I have alerted Outlaw, and he has decided to make an attempt to locate Nightwing with Raven’s magic.”~
~Found a map. Might need a ride.~
“Okay, Mug—Mig—look, Martian, I really suck at pronouncing your name, so I’ll just go with the bastardized American version and call you Megan—we’ve got a couple of leads, too. We’ll call if we get anything concrete.” And the Quicksilver knock-off hangs up his comm.
Robin is currently staring at the map Forecaster has projected on a nearby wall. “I’ll take the west side; you three check the remaining five sites.”
“How come you get a whole side to yourself?”
“Because I’m not as easily distracted as you, Kid Flash,” Robin dismisses.
“Is it ‘cause I’m white? It’s ‘cause I’m white, isn’t it.”
“What? No. Dick and Jace are white. Rach and Cass are white. Hell, Clark and Bruce are white.”
“Clark’s an alien.”
Wade puts a hand over the chatterbox’s mouth. “We probably don’t have time for this,” he interrupts. “You take the bottom three, if you’re so hot to trot. Me and Moist Boi can knock out the other two.”
“Transportation?” Aquakid asks.
“Does teleporting make you carsick?”
“I have no idea?”
Wade grabs the kid and fwumps them across the room.
“Oh,” he says in a tiny, awkward voice. “No, but it’s really rather unpleasant, isn’t it?”
Wade waves a hand. “Don’t be a wuss. I’ll drop you at one site and bamf along to do the other one. Woohoo, teamwork, all right!”
“Go team!” Kid Flash agrees (“We’re on two separate teams, and he’s not a member of either of them,” Robin says, and gets ignored).
“Go team,” Aquabro says with a distinct lack of esprit de corps.
“You would suck at a pep rally,” Wade says, and grabs his shoulder to start chaining teleports.
Five minutes later, he drops off the Liquidator, gets his bearings, and heads for the last site.
“I got a good feeling about this one, Effcee,” Wade says as he stares at a dockside warehouse that basically screams ‘secret lab.’ “You tapped the Justice Scouts’ comms, right?”
~Yeah, but I got no signal on Flasher and Puddles. Maybe that’s just from getting into secret bases full of shielding. Or maybe somebody broke their communicate-y bits. Want I should try Birdy the Third in case of fowl play?~
“Nahhhh, he’s got important shit to do. Let’s just bee and ee without any bee-ing. Teleportation is so convenient, even if it makes my bones chilly.”
~Wade. Fowl. Fowl play.~
“I’m not going to dignify that with a response. Get me some scans so I don’t splinch myself.”
~So you don’t splinch yourseeeelf…?~
Wade rolls his eyes. “Please.”
~Coming right up, O Humorless One!~
“I’ve got tons of humor. I’m funnier than you.”
~Hah! Good one. But hey, once we’re in, then what?~
“So many questions! I’ll do what Jamie’s best at. Y’know…all those ‘ain’t nice’ things involving violence and dismemberment.”
.End.

Sequel Trilogy Companion Comics
It has been over a year since the sequel trilogy concluded, and though both other Star Wars trilogies inspired a variety of ambitious and complex spinoff comics during their heydays and wakes, the sequel trilogy has not. “The Rise of Skywalker” has not even gotten a comic adaptation -- the only SW movie to lack this honor. While Luke continued to fight his dad in newspapers and Marvel comics throughout the 80s, and Anakin kept lying to his teacher on the pages of Dark Horse and in early webcomics throughout the 00s, we haven’t heard much more, comic-wise, about Rey and Kylo’s will-they-won’t-they now in the 20s (besides the frustrating “The Rise of Kylo Ren,” which I will review soon).
The future of Star Wars -- both in terms of real-world media and fictional timeline -- is opaque to me. All upcoming projects seem to be prequels or in-between-quels, and there is an upsetting number of unresolved endings, especially for the protagonists. (Will they ever find Ezra? Are Mando and Grogu really separated forever? Will Finn become a Jedi?) So I won’t pretend to understand the lack of sequel-era comics, since I don’t understand even the higher-budget focuses of the franchise right now.
The lore-heavy Galaxy’s Edge theme park, the Star-Trek-like “Resistance” TV show, and a smattering of excellent books and short-form comics (especially the ones about Rose Tico) prove that the sequels’ setting can work just as well for spinoffs as any other era of Star Wars. But one obvious difficulty in creating more content set during the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance is the divisive, contradictory nature of the latter two films.
In fact, each of the sequel films have such distinct tones, themes, and messages, that I’ve found similar experiences reading comics set in completely different time periods. I wish there were multi-part comics with big casts and intricate themes inspired by the sequels’ settings and characters, but until then, here are three such comics that, in my opinion, could accompany each sequel film in spirit.
The Force Awakens: “TIE Fighter”
The most important thing that the sequel trilogy accomplished and that The Force Awakens established was shifting the focus to an all-new, more diverse set of characters. If the sequels had gone the route of the prequel trilogy and the EU books and comics, the story would have remained with the OT trio, their parents, their kids, and their girlfriends, almost all of whom are white.
Another intriguing premise from TFA is Finn’s stormtrooper backstory. Earlier SW movies had relied upon stormtroopers as cannon fodder, but Finn’s story humanizes them and shows that many are forced into service. This revelation complicates the violence of the OT’s Rebellion, since it is now possible that the Empire’s soldiers also had the capacity for heroism.
Like TFA, “TIE Fighter” features a cast of original characters of different races, and the story explores the humanity behind the Empire’s masks. “TIE Fighter” also shares some of TFA’s limitations: neither story can stand on its own, as they both lead so directly to a follow-up: TFA to TLJ, and “TIE Fighter” to the novel Alphabet Squadron.
“TIE Fighter,” issue 2. Marvel. May 15, 2019. Writer: Jody Houser. Pencillers: Rogê Antônio and Josh Cassara. Letterer: Joe Caramagna. Colorists: Arif Prianto and Neeraj Menon.
The Last Jedi: “Knight Errant”
I’ve talked before about my love for this series, but I don’t think I’ve mentioned how beautifully “Knight Errant” echoes my favorite movie of the sequel trilogy (and, honestly, one of my favorite movies of all time). “Knight Errant” and TLJ are both stories with big hearts and strong messages about hope, corruption, and searching for one’s purpose in life.
The two stories share similar characters -- a lonely leading lady, a disenchanted old Jedi, an ambiguous traitor, dwindling goodguys and unstoppable badguys -- and similar settings -- a rain-soaked planet symbolizing both depression and passion, exorbitant wealth on top of abject misery, fiery flashbacks of a demolished home. They even have plot points in common, such as the parallel with Luke’s triumphant return pictured above, and heartbreaking, unexpected revelations about our hero’s family. Victory is achieved through not only bravery, but trust (sometimes misplaced) and a clever magical trick that manipulates the villain’s wild emotions.
And unlike the abrupt endings of TFA and “TIE Fighter,” both TLJ and “Knight Errant” have endings that are open yet satisfying. Though the fight is not over, your imagination can fill in the bittersweet path forward.
If you’re going to check out “Knight Errant,” which I highly recommend you do, please keep your mental health safe. There are suicidal characters and themes, though I think they are addressed in an affirming and positive way. The story shows the value of life and hope in a way that has personally helped me through a dark time, just as TLJ’s belief in the power of failure and love has also meant so much to me.
“Knight Errant: Aflame,” issue 5. Dark Horse. February 16, 2011. Writer: John Jackson Miller. Penciller: Ivan Rodriguez. Inker: Belardino Brabo. Colorist: Michael Atiyeh.
The Rise of Skywalker: “Dark Empire”
TRoS was not the first Star Wars property to resurrect the Emperor -- “Dark Empire” had already done that back in the 90s, with a bit more explanation, flair, and nudity, though not necessarily any more purpose. I already reviewed “Dark Empire” back in August; in short, I find it disappointing. But while I can’t say I’m a fan of either the comic or TRoS, I admit that all three of us share a deep and abiding fondness for the institution of the Sith, in all its goth smugness.
Between TRoS, The Mandalorian, and The Bad Batch, Star Wars seems to be leaning into evil genetic manipulation right now, which is a bit too eugenics-y for me to get into. If you’d prefer your resurrections in a more Halloween-like flavor, with a side of lovable old hag and creepy rainbows, look no further than this historical relic of a Star Wars comic.
“Dark Empire I,” trade paperback. Dark Horse. May 1, 1993. Writer: Tom Veitch. Penciller, Inker, and Colorist: Cam Kennedy. Letterer: Todd Klein.

( margaret qualley. nineteen. she/her. ) everything’s fine, WEDNESDAY ADDAMS, you’re in the good place! do you remember your last days in THE ADDAM’S FAMILY VALUES? but don’t worry, your ( chipped black nail polish, a sweet smile that promises nothing good, hollowness in her dark eyes, a dark monotone ) will fit perfectly with the rest of the good place, so long as you commit to the MANIC PIXIE DREAM GIRL despite your tendency to commit to ( apathy ) that the architect of the good place said you were. it’ll just be like a fun acting exercise! just play along and everything will continue to be fun. ( pepper. twenty three. est. she/her)
ABOUT THE MUN. gay in the house and i’m in the house gay
hey bitch, do you really, really, really wanna go hard? hello all! my name is pepper. i meant to do this intro bit a bit earlier but i got very distracted by dr. stone so i apologize for that! i am also going to apologize in advance because i 1. have not rped in like three weeks and frankly you’re gonna be able to tell, i am very rusty and 2. i haven’t been in a multifandom rp.... in at least like a year, so i’m also very rusty at that! that said i freaking love the good place and i could not pass up this opportunity! if anyone has watched the show and wants to cry with me over jason mendoza,,,, hit your girl up. that said omg okay a bit about me: i say omg, like, and literally way too often, so sorry about that in advance. i’m also very canadian, which probably explains all the apologizing sdkjsdk. i work in a grocery store so i’m technically essential which means i will be disappearing semi often to do long ass shifts at work (rip) but i’m almort always lurking on mobile or discord so pleathe,,, hmu. and finally plotting and exchanging headcannons and things? my freaking lifeblood. i live for that shit. please talk to me, i’m beggin’. okay sdkjdskj now onto some stuff about everybody’s favourite goth girl, ms wednesday addams.
CHARACTERIZATION. sorry for being a dark sorcerer. as if its my fault.
okay, if you’ve ever watched any addam’s family content... i am really not deviating much from that. the daughter of a rather eccentric morbid family who grew up rather eccentric and morbid herself. has always had a facination with death that she now just gets to nurture in this environment (although lowkey wednesday is kind of dissapointed by the whole set up i’m not gonna lie). you get the vibe.
died in 1993! the height of rock and roll, pop boy bands, and chokers.
definitely lowkey thinks that she’s a disappointment to her family for ending up in the good place in the first place. will be thrilled when it’s eventually revealed that this is the bad place. or well, as thrilled as wednesday gets.
wednesday addams is a demigirl and you can’t change my mind. honestly considering making her straight agender tbh, because that just seems like fact to me.
a bisexual icon. hates everybody but hates everybody equally. will fuck your shit up if you’re misogynistic, homophobic or racist. let me direct y’all to this video cause this is fact.
kind of an arsonist honestly. loves to set things aflame. definitely did indeed set her summer camp on fire. is pretty proud of it.
lowkey will miss her family so much while up here. she never really had friends outside of her family, like not real genuine ones. wednesday’s never really truly been on her own until the afterlife and she’s honestly a bit unsettled by it. won’t let it show in the slightest though, honestly you’d be sure pressed to see wednesday’s veil of indifference break for even a moment. that said, she definitely misses pugsley and lurch the most even though she’ll never admit it. might get lonely enough to actually attempt to find herself a friend we’ll see.
truly a little bit witchy, but like regular person witchy considering wednesday never had any powers in cannon and certainly doesn’t now. will do a seance in her place to attempt to see if she can reach the mortal realm. is very seriously wondering where the demons are. would have a lot of medieval weapons in her place if it really was catered to her, but seeing as things are meant to be a bit off wednesday’s place is probably filled with stuffed animals and dolls, but not even creepy dolls... but cute ones. the whole room is bubble gum pink and whenever she tries to paint the walls black they just revert back... she’s mad about it honestly.
that said wears black and only black at all times but that should be a given.
is definitely wondering where her ex joel is. like she figured he would have popped up here after she scared him to death and so she’s a bit confused, but rolling with it.
WANTED CONNECTIONS. winks with my third eye
A SUSPICIOUS BYSTANDER. honestly i would die,,, for someone who realizes that wednesday definitely doesn’t belong here and mayhaps a team cockroach situation? like they both know they’re in the wrong place and they try to help each other hide it. please,,, i need it.
PARTNER IN CRIME. kind of the new pugsley but it might be more of an equal relationship. basically someone who wednesday can drag into her messes. the person on the other side of the seance circle... they catch each other’s gaze through the incense smoke,,, the romance of it all no i’m kidding sorry sdkjdsj but i do want this connection!
UNLIKELY PAIR. an april and andy situation. they are complete opposites, one the doom and gloom and the other sunshine and rainbows,,, and yet someone it works. wednesday would kill someone for them.
TWO PEAS IN A POD. the opposite of the other connection because these two meet and just instantly click! they both have so much hate deep inside of them! and now they can share this hate with each other! it’s a match made in heaven (badum tsss) and probably one of the first times wednesday actually wants to really try to be friends with someone.
CRUSH. either on wednesdays end or theirs i just feel like this could be really fun!
ENEMY. someone who hates wednesday and who wednesday hates in return. their personalities just really clash, and wednesday knows that if she ever really does find herself in hell, she’s dragging them with her.
UNSUSPECTING NEIGHBOUR. i don’t know why but i just find the concept of there just being some poor schmuck who wednesday pesters for like a lock of their hair or something. like they don’t deserve this. but she’s bored here in paradise and she’s making a bit of a game out of creeping them out. after all, what else is there to do?
and anything else under the sun folks, i would love to plot something specific to our muses out! so yes, smash that like button and i will come running!
#gplaces.intro#this is messy as hell but here it is#it's been so long since i've played a muse with a set backstory... i didn't know what to do with myself tbh but i had fun anyways so!

Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron to Lead Animated ADDAMS FAMILY Revival
The Addams Family is back, and spookier than ever! Last October we reported that the directors of Sausage Party and Shrek 2 were bringing America’s favorite family of fiends back from the dead in a new animated feature film. After months of speculation, MGM studios along with their partner Cinesite Studios revealed for the first time today the upcoming film’s full voice cast along with our first look at the animated Addams Family.
Remember a few months back when that fan made Addams Family poster featuring Oscar Isaac (Annihalation, Ex Machina) set the internet aflame with Addams fever? Well it turns out that the folks at MGM sure remembered, as the Star Wars hero leads the cast as family patriarch Gomez Addams. Joining Isaac is Academy Award winning actress Charlize Theron (Mad Max Fury Road, Monster) as goth idol and feminist icon Morticia Addams. Rounding out voice cast are Broadway legend Bette Midler (Hocus Pocus, Beaches) as Grandmama, Nick Kroll (The League, Big Mouth) as Uncle Fester, Chloe Grace Moretz (Let Me In, If I Stay) and Finn Wolfhard (Stranger Things, It) as the sadistic siblings Wednesday and Puglsey Addams. There’s still no word on whether Cousin It will appear in the new film or who would voice him if he does. My money’s on Brad “The Vanisher” Pitt. (#Pitt4It, let’s get this trending!)
While details remain sparse this early in production, the film is set to follow the Addams family’s struggle against a duplicitous reality-TV host while also preparing their macabre mansion for an extended family celebration. As for the newly revealed character designs, I am digging them! While quite different from both the 1964 live action show and the 1990’s Hanna-Barbera cartoon (whose theme songs you almost certainly have stuck in your head right now), this new take on the Addams brood is decidedly old school. Whether this adaptation lives up to it’s esteemed pedigree remains to be seen, but this Horror Writer has his fingers ready to snap.
The Addams Family hits theaters nationwide October 11th, 2019
The post Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron to Lead Animated ADDAMS FAMILY Revival appeared first on Nightmare on Film Street - Horror Movie Podcast, News and Reviews.

I was tagged by @maydei!! Thanks, Luc! <3
rules: it’s time to love yourselves! choose your 5 favourite works you’ve created this year (fics, art, edits, etc!) and link them below to reflect on the amazing things you’ve brought into the world in 2k17. tag as many writers/artists/etc as you want (fan or original!) so we can spread the love and link each other to awesome works <3
1. ‘Cause I’m a Taker, ‘Cause I’m a Giver, It’s Only Nature | canon compliant relationship detail filler, R18, dom!Yuuri/sub!Victor in later chapters, 13/20
Yuuri isn’t sure what he expected when he decided to make his request, but it’s not this.
Victor stares at him with an oddly blank expression, the light that normally fills his blue eyes somehow non-existent. His mouth is kind-of twisted, not quite a grimace but definitely not a smile. “What?” he finally asks.
Yuuri’s cheeks go aflame. Surely, this should have resulted in an immediate yes. Surely, he’s not that...not special. “I asked you to have sex with me.”
Victor’s expression doesn’t change. “I thought it was an auditory hallucination.”
Yuuri makes a noise, lifting up his glasses and shoving his palm into one of his eyes. “Why are you making this so difficult? It’s a yes or no question.”
His glasses fall to the bridge of his nose where they belong, and Victor comes into focus. He clears his throat a few times. “I admit, I don’t follow the rationale.”
Yuuri sighs. “Because every time I watch the video of my “Eros” skate, it still feels like something’s not quite there. And how can it be when I...you know.”
It’s subtle, but Victor’s demeanor changes, like his jaw locks. “Oh. You want to sleep with me for your skating.”
“Well,” Yuuri begins, because that does make it sound like he’s using Victor. That’s not okay, and he would never. “You’re also really handsome?” he tries.
2. My Boy Builds Coffins | Goth!Victor/Mortician!Yuuri AU, R18, 5/12
To kill time, he checks his nails for any chips or signs of impending breakage. Nope, still perfect. The color is called Wicked---it’s by Essie, and it’s a burgundy almost as black as Yuri’s soul. It goes well with the dark gray silk dress shirt he wears with the sleeves rolled up and the black skinny jeans he has on.
He may have (mostly) taken himself out of the Goth clubs, but the Goth clubs haven’t taken themselves out of him.
The bar gets a bit more crowded, and a man in his mid-twenties stands next to Victor in a modestly cut (but not bargain bin) black suit with a white dress shirt and a black and gray patterned tie. His hair is messy in a way that looks effortless, and it matches the color of the suit. He also wears a pair of blue half-rimmed glasses and his eyes are so…wow, they’re warm, soothing, and spicy all at once, like the clove cigarettes Victor has to have a buddy hook him up with when he travels to Vancouver on business.
Victor loves the view. He knows if he takes a pic it’ll last longer, but this man…wow. He bites his bottom lip a little and tilts his head in appreciation.
The man notices and gives him a glance. Then he stares. His cheeks turn the same shade as the strawberries that float on top of Victor’s preferred beverage. He clears his throat and looks back at the baristas.
“Hi,” Victor tries with a winning smile. “Come here often?”
3. will lose my desire for you (never my love) | FMA fusion AU, Major Character Death, Canon Typical Violence, 1/2
The sickness is hard when he isn’t around, but Yuuri always hates being coddled. As much as Yuuri believes himself to be weak, he is so, so strong, and Victor spends their years together in awe of this boy-turned-into-a-man with such a will.
He doesn’t---will never---understand what he or Yuuri did to deserve this.
It spreads to his legs and lungs and even his head, this bright eyed star that fades into a gaping singularity in Victor’s heart. He still laughs, oh how he still laughs and smiles, and he feels so small in Victor’s arms, and Makkachin will not leave his side for even an instant.
Chris comes often these days, both to help Yuuri have a semblance of normalcy and to prop Victor up because he knows if he falls down he may not stand again.
They wake Yuuri up for what they ends up being his final injection, and Victor rests his head over his heart, the blue jacket with its brass buttons and medals hanging off the back of a chair by the window.
”Victor," Yuuri begins, and Chris inhales, saying some excuse Victor doesn’t hear as he leaves. “Victor...I wrote you something.”
Victor swallows. He knows---he knows immediately from the way Yuuri’s voice fades, the light darkening in his eyes. Makkachin knows too as he shifts further up the bed from Yuuri’s feet to lie as much as he can on his chest without restricting his breathing.
”It’s in the nightstand,” Yuuri continues. “It’s a thank-you note.”
4. that the music’s fine like sparkling wine (go and have your fun) | Teen, complete
Yuuri looks at the card a second time. He picks up a ballpoint pen and checks yes. He hesitates at the box for the plus one while worrying his bottom lip between his teeth. “I’d just take Phichit if he hadn’t gotten his own invite.”
Yuuri doesn’t have a date, Victor realizes. He sits differently, more outwardly casual. The robe slips to show off more of his shoulder. Part of him registers Yuuri did not offer Victor as his first choice, but that doesn’t mean he may not be one at all. “If you attend a wedding, I won’t have anything else to do. It’d be silly for me to come back here with no one to coach. I'd be willing to go.”
Victor puts minimal longing into the words. He keeps his expression neutral, though he wants to just outright ask. The thought of them together on a tropical island, holding hands during the vows, Yuuri in a beautiful suit like the last GPF in Sochi as he whisked him across the dance floor—
Yuuri looks at Victor with his eyebrows knit together and his glasses falling to the tip of his nose. “Well, you’re right. That makes sense, I guess, more so than going with a stranger.”
Not what Victor hoped for as a response, not even a little. “Yes, no need to force smalltalk.”
Yuuri’s smile sparkles like Altair, and Victor’s disappointment vanishes into the ether.
5. Don’t You Know That’s the Way Love Comes? | Parks and Recreation AU, Teen, 4/?
“Celestino Cialdini,” the man says as he gives Georgi a brisk handshake. “I’m one of the auditors sent from the state. This is my assistant, Katsuki Yuuri.”
The shorter man smiles and nods.
Yuri glares at him. “We can’t have two Yuris. I refuse.”
“Yuri,” Georgi shushes him.
Yuuri Katsuki gives Yuri Plisetsky a look that’s a combination of perplexed and intimidated. “You can call me Auditor Yuuri to avoid confusion,” he offers with a polite smile.
Yuri is unappeased, his jaw clenched with visible irritation.
Yakov steps out of his office. “Ah, Celestino,” he says. They shake hands.
“Always nice to see you, Yakov,” Celestino replies. “Have you met Katsuki Yuuri?”
Yuri makes an aggrieved noise. Everyone else ignores him, including the other Yuuri.
“I’ve heard the name,” Yakov says. He shakes hands with Yuuri. “Nice to meet you.”
“Likewise,” Yuuri says with a bow.
Celestino’s smile lights up the room. “We’re just introducing ourselves to every department, saying hello, that kind of thing. And I want you all to understand that Yuuri and I---we’re not the bad guys. We’re here to review how the town operates and see where we can trim the fat.”
Yuuri’s expression, oddly, doesn’t match Celestino’s words, but no one seems to realize it. His face is much more serious than his boss’s bright grin. He glances around the room. “Wait, are we missing people?”
“Yes,” MJ says. “The Deputy Director and his Assistant are at the zoo marrying penguins.”
Yuuri’s expression becomes disturbed, his skin going pale.
“Oh,” MJ says. “No, they’re marrying the penguins to each other. They’re not marrying the penguins themselves.”
I tag: @katsukiyuuristrophyhusband, @lemonyoi, @phoenixrei, @iwritevictuuri, @ceiphiedknight, @alexwspark, @katyaton and anyone else who wants to! (Be kind to yourselves, you deserve it!)

Why Girls Disregard You.
Inquiring a woman out is challenging for numerous individuals to perform. In this short article, you'll find out a practical 3 action unit for receiving a woman on a day. To know how and also why this happens, I analyze the numerous, hierarchically set apart, but undetectable subject positions working in the Lady Result. I possessed a sluggish time today in that I set just one 18 years of age blonde Estonian girl. When I was chatting to a female buddy and I started to chat regarding a brand new woman that I was dating, I bear in mind one opportunity. In Goth Woman Mosts likely to the Nation, our experts see a mix from the darker side of fashion trend along with the haute couture of couture nation. Actually, there are a lot from indicators you could watch out for if you are actually having a woman. Put up an adorable Sofia The First birthday celebration advertisement to make the birthday party female think that an actual little princess. Every female suches as a fella that ensures themself as well as could have management of a scenario. In season 1 Rachel is actually nearly the girl adjacent yet come season 3 Rachel's obtained game. Several United States Female motion pictures have likewise given that entered manufacturing, like Samantha: An American Lady Holiday or Kit Kittredge: An American Lady. A great conversation piece bringing most any sort of girl away from her covering to share he incredible brand-new development. A shepherd young boy tried and also located the torso to open that, yet the gal (from within) certain him his father must aim to complimentary her rather. You have properly taken a woman out from her sweetheart if she leaves her sweetheart for you. So sometimes, a lady need to wait till he claims his intents as well as she is actually a lot more comfortable now to claim Zero perfectly hence permit's be actually buddies! Right now exactly what a lot of typical fellas carry out is that they straight move toward the girl as well as inquire her what her label is etc. This method is aged as well as nowadays does not work in all. Guy frequently make errors enjoy this through certainly not complying with the emotional necessities of their woman. There this gal i like in school i do not now if she likes me how carry out i say to if she simulates me. I wish you to fulfill the girl of your goals IMMEDIATELY, make her fall in love with you, and also make her think the happiest female on the planet!
Policeman had come in and also quit Mitchell, his partner, and also a female with a grey wig and also large sunglasses. You think nothing of that but that is actually instants like these that cause you to become anxious around beautiful females and eliminate your chances of ever managing to be actually keeping that female except in your masturbatory fantasies. You want to copulate a gal without knowing just about anything concerning her next to the method she looks. My preferred gal factors are chapstick, coffee, my Ipod, and of course my buddies and also household. If you are actually intensely in the red, working 2 works and also simply desire to unwind when you get home considering that you are worn down after that you do certainly not intend to take a woman right into that situation as well as possibly harmed her. There are pajamas here are the findings for the most womanly little bit of woman as well as for the tomboy. He mosts likely to the plinth alongside the flower petal woman; puts up his feet on that; as well as stoops to refuse his trouser ends. They all indicate something, and also they all came from something yet Lady Aflame is definitely ill.
