Yapping about Giles lore because why not

hi @hamalicious-soup @lil-gae-disaster @marsfingershurt @imobsessedwiththeatre

Okay so, Colonel Giles Eleison :) what the hell is going on with him ???

Around the army he is praised for his tactics in the battlefield (aka, sadism, KILL THOSE DAMN REBELS KILL THEM ALL !!! RAHHHHH !!!! >:DD) And also his charming yet mysterious nature. Also him being pretty fun to be around when drunk.

Now why is he like this? Well, he was really just born like that. Before the war, though, acquaintances would say he was a "quiet and reserved" man, very much Catholic as he was the son of a priest. (Mother died during childbirth.)

So, his entire life he was aware that he might have been different. While his nature at birth was one of pure immorality, he was raised in a household that drilled into his head "pure morals" and a bunch of expectations on him. At a certain age he realized his nature and became guilty that his entire being as a person was "sin" --- so to that he began suppressing all that and tried to follow the good, virtuous, and proper life that his father would have wanted for him. His father never noticed the inner turmoil.

Another thing was his lack of attraction towards women. This one though, Giles never really understood. He always thought maybe it was the devotion to his faith or his studies that kept him from looking at women in such a way ???? Either way when he reached his twenties his father really started to pester him to find a spouse.

He tended to cling onto religion a lot. He truly wished and prayed that he would be "normal."

Marrying Claudia was his final attempt at a "solution." He would follow the blueprint of a nice traditional family, and he thought that might fix him

Well, it did not. Now he was tied to this woman he did not care about (and he was certain she did not care about him either) and also the child they had. He was still miserable and repressed.

And then, one morning he was reading the news and learned of that brewing rebellion in the American colonies. And it was like a spark had lit up within him. As if he finally found the purpose he was looking for in life.

So with that, he quickly packed his bag and left to fight in what would later be a full on war --- leaving Claudia behind.

Now, in the army, the man is thriving in a way he never was before. He acts as unhinged as he could ever want, he thoroughly enjoys the violence and death in the battlefield (and he excuses himself finding joy in the pain of rebels with "they deserve it anyways")

Well the war and blood kinda solved that problem of his ? There was still the whole lack of attraction towards women thing. That would be for later :3

[wlwanakin]

lets do obi wan, padme, Leia for character ask meme

obi-wan:

how i feel about this character: it’s complicated!! i love him and find him fascinating but i think there is too much of him everywhere and far too much of that is blatantly incorrect about him and due to that and how under-acknowledged his faults are i tend to go through seasonal intervals where i think he should be killed with a gun. but i love him mostly

all the people i ship romantically with this character: ventress, quinlan vos, darth maul a bit, i guess i tolerate his thing with satine. i’m not particularly serious about any of these though it’s just fun

my non-romantic otp for this character: i dislike this term! the dynamic that intrigues me the most is his dynamic with anakin but no way in hell am i calling that any kind of “otp”

my unpopular opinion about this character: he is not as important to anakin as y’all make him out to be. he is very important don’t get me wrong but like damn y’all love to make him #1. he’s not #1!! at all!!

one thing i wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: i wish padmé had yelled at him just once

my otp: ventrobi <3 i like to think they have had extremely weird drunk bdsm sex as power play <3

my crossover ship: don’t have one

a headcanon fact: this will perhaps tie everything i’ve been saying together but mostly for my own amusement i really run with the “jedi are allowed to fuck” thing and hc that obi-wan essentially does the exact opposite of catholic celibacy and is the king of lackluster meaningless one-night stands. he fucks so much. this is of course very virtuous because there is no romantic desire involved. he would NEVER have post-marital sex that’s a sin

padmé:

how i feel about this character: LOVE OF MY LIFE. top 3 star war. i love her more and more every time i get back into it. this hyperfixation resurgence was mostly about her from the start i can’t stop writing fics in her pov

all the people i ship romantically with this character: anakin. and dormé a little bit. sometimes sabé if i’m in the mood

my non-romantic otp for this character: does sabédala count for this? it’s romantic but unrequited and i find it boring to change that and i love thinking about padmé’s side of it regardless so i guess it counts

my unpopular opinion about this character: her death is mostly fine!! people are always complaining about her death but i think it works conceptually and was executed fine. could’ve been better but i’m not losing sleep about it. her surviving would’ve been stupid bc she’s dead in the ot and i’d rather her death be on-screen and impactful like every male main character who dies

one thing i wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: i need to see her grieve cordé and versé more!! those deaths haunt her and you can’t tell me otherwise and not even queen’s hope gave me any details on her grief and that pisses me off so bad. show me her grief!!!!

my otp: anidala <3

my crossover ship: don’t have one

a headcanon fact: in my heart and soul i know she’s a vegetarian. if you show me something that contradicts this i will ignore you. she also gets periodically so weird about food because she is a control freak and this is worsened by the vegetarianism. and sometimes she cannot go to the market because she will have an ethical dilemma about how the food is sourced that is so debilitating she simply does not buy anything. being a child queen gave her ocd <3

leia:

how i feel about this character: I LOVE HER!! she is one of my favorites in the ot <3 i dressed up as her for halloween when i was like six

all the people i ship romantically with this character: pretty much just han lmao. but every time i see people ship her with a woman i’m like “yeah i see it” so i also support leia yuri on principle

my non-romantic otp for this character: once again dislike this term!! bc my favorite non-romantic dynamic she has is with luke!! and i’m not calling that a ship in any sense!!

my unpopular opinion about this character: i don’t really have one?

one thing i wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: i feel like i can’t answer this bc i don’t read enough ot stuff and it might just turn out anything i say did in fact happen in something i didn’t read

my otp: hanleia

my crossover ship: don’t have one

a headcanon fact: as a child she was really into a space equivalent of american girl dolls. her normalest childhood hobby was collecting a bunch of fucking…alderaanian girl dolls i guess and she would carry whichever one she was most excited about around and tell any adult willing to listen about the historical context the doll was supposed to come from in detail

Ghost B.C Headcanons:

What They Love Most About You

☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾☾

TW: A little angsty for Aether's and Copia's scenario </3

Terzo:

Terzo is absolutely in love with everything about you. There's not just one thing he could just pick out. He loves the way you sing with him in the morning whenever you're making breakfast (you're a very good cook), and especially when it's one of his songs. He swells with pride when you sing stuff he's created, especially if he's not super impressed by his own work. Your singing always makes Terzo more confident with his creations.

Terzo also really loves how caring you are. Because his Papa rarely showed him affection, he craves it from you. Whenever you cuddle him at night, kiss his cheeks or forehead, or even do something as simple as picking up after him, he feels especially loved. He also, although rarely, will vent to you about his Papa's neglect, and he loves how intently you listen and just let him talk.

Copia:

Copia loves how headstrong and confident you are. He loves how you never back down from a fight or let people walk all over you.

There was one time in the past where a bunch of Catholic protestors appeared at the doorstep of the Satanic church, and you ripped them a new hole! Screaming at them, threatening them, and just being all-around overprotective of your boyfriend and the Ghouls. You managed to chase away the protestors, which earned tons of kisses from your proud boyfriend.

Another reason Copia loves you is specifically when Terzo died, you were always there for him. Through the tears and depression, you didn't leave your boyfriend's side. Although it was hard, you managed to get Copia back on his feet, and you're always there if he manages to relapse into old habits when he's reminded of his brother. Copia looks up to your bravery a lot, and he always tells you this, especially if you're feeling sad. Because of your strength, whenever you're feeling down, Copia goes out of his way to show strength for you too. It's a very mutually-loving relationship, which is the healthiest commitment Copia has ever been apart of.

Sodo:

Sodo is absolutely in love with your hands. For a while now, the fire Ghoul has been attempting to teach you guitar, and he just swells with pride whenever you correctly play a chord or strum a beautiful melody. He always gushes to Mountain and Rain about how you'll eventually have to replace him in Ghost, as you're getting very good for how short of a time you've been practice. This however annoys you because you could never replace Sodo. He knows this too, and he says stuff to the other Ghouls to just get you going. He loves teasing you, and secretly, you love it too.

Sodo also loves the way your hands cup his face; providing reassurance and love whenever he's not feeling his best. The Ghoul always feels so much stronger whenever you just grab his face and kiss his lips. Sodo also finds it incredible adorable how tiny your hands are in comparison to his.

Aether:

There is nothing Aether loves more than your love for him. You stick to him like a lost puppy; always craving his attention and love. The Ghoul eats it up, and always makes sure to let you know how much he loves you too. It's come to the point where you become depressed if you're away from Aether for too long. It's to the point where you have to always be with him, and he wouldn't have it any other way. He is so dependant on your presence too, and he will often become like you and grow sad if he's away from you for too long.

Aether is very thankful that his Ghoul family likes you too, because if they didn't, he wouldn't know what to do. You're his rock, as he is yours, and if the others didn't like you, he would be torn between his love for you and his allegiance to his Ghouls.

Whenever he was called back to Hell... well, you died alongside him. You just stayed in your room; wouldn't eat, wouldn't drink. Just slept and cried, and Aether mourned for your loss of self; wishing he could be there for you as you'd always been there for him.

Phantom:

Phantom's favourite thing about you is your ability to immediately calm him down when he's upset or angry. You just always know the right words to say and the right things to do whenever you're comforting your soulmate. At one point, Phantom and Sodo were mortal enemies because of how much Sodo missed Aether. Sodo had purposely scratched the paint up on Phantom's guitar, and even hid his helmet so your boyfriend would have to walk around with his true form showing.

The Ghoul was devastated, and his heart swelled with love when he realized to what lengths you went to ensure his happiness. You had gone to Papa and told him about what was happening between your boyfriend and Sodo, and miraculously, Papa spoke to Sodo and it stopped. Now, because of you, Sodo and Phantom are close friends— although Phantom will never be able to replace Aether.

Swiss:

He loves the fact that you can match his energies perfectly. Swiss is always, no matter what, hyper and crazy. You always joke with him that he's the dictionary definition of ADHD on steroids, and he just smiles and laughs along with you. Whenever he's all riled up and crazy, you get riled up with him. You're as spontaneous as he is. Swiss wants to do a midnight run? Hell yeah, of course you're in. You want to go out and burn down a Catholic church? Hell yeah, Swiss is in (and likely the other Ghouls too, as that is fun for everyone).

Because of this energy, Swiss always goes above and beyond with date idea. Of course, everyone loves dinner dates and going out to the movies, but he always wants to do more with you (not to mention, it would be hard for him to take you out in public and not get recognized as a demon, which causes nothing but trouble).

Mountain:

Mountain secretly loves your wildness. When you first met the earth Ghoul, the two of you never really got along because he's rather shy and quiet, while you always intended on being the centre of attention. He would always ask you to quiet down, but whenever the two of you started dating, he began silently praying for you to act silly, as it reminded him how much you truly enjoy life in all of its stages.

Because of your personality, you've also scared away some people in the past, so when Mountain and you started dating, you actually began to quiet down due to the fear of losing him too. He quickly made you know that your personality wouldn't scare him away, which caused you to fall more in love with him than you thought was possible.

Rain:

Rain loves how you just let him talk and let him be himself. Around others, the water Ghoul can be very quiet and calm, which has almost become a habit and an expectation for Rain amongst his fellow Ghouls. When he's alone with you, he's learned to open up and be his loud, goofy self. You hold no expectations to how Rain acts, and he absolutely loves you for it. He doesn't have to mask how he truly is, and he knows you'll always love him regardless as to how he acts.

There was a time when you were first learning this about Rain, where Papa asked your boyfriend a question and Cirrus answered for him instead of letting Rain talk. Knowing your boyfriend would like to speak for himself, you politely told Cirrus to let Rain answer Papa himself, and now none of the Ghouls answer for Rain.

Cirrus:

Cirrus loves the support that you have for her the most. Everyone who follows the Satanic church has no idea who you are, so it's easy for you to follow your girlfriend whenever she goes on tour with Papa and the others. You love to sneak in the pit whenever she least expects it and cheer her on during her Mummy Dust keytar solo! It always catches her by surprise, and she will focus completely on you during her solo whenever she notices you. You always blow Cirrus kisses during her solo, and before she runs off afterwards, she will blow you some too.

If it's a time where you've snuck into the pit for one of the rituals, you will often listen in and see what the fans have to say about Cirrus. After the ritual, you will tell your loving girlfriend all of the compliments you heard in the pit to help her confidence. Cirrus doesn't really need the confidence boost to begin with, but you can tell it really makes her happy to hear those things. Cirrus loves how you always think about her, and the fact that you're always on a mission to make her happy.

Cumulus:

Your girlfriend loves everything about you— no contest about that. However, one thing she loves the most about you is your dedication to the church. Cumulus works her ass off 24/7 to bring more people to the church and provide whatever Papa needs for their band, and you're always right beside her. You're the one who runs the social media accounts by the name of Nameless Ghoul, and it's been a huge help. None of the actual Nameless Ghouls know what social media is, as they were summoned straight from Hell, and Hell doesn't have guidelines for Instagram and Facebook.

Because you were born a human and have been exposed to social media, Papa gave you the job of gaining people's attention through these apps, and because of this, many people have joined the church. Cumulus is so proud of you, especially since she knows nothing about social media, and where you do, you're better at something that no one else can do! That fills her with pride and shows everyone else that they're dependant on you as much as you're dependant on those in the church.

Sunshine:

Sunshine absolutely adores your sweet nature. You care for life and nature equally, which Sunshine loves. Although you're apart of the church, which many Catholics deem as evil, you wouldn't hurt a hair on their heads. When confronted with people who wish to shut down your girlfriend's organization, you always just meet them with a calm personality, a smile, and some kind words. It always throws off the protesters and they simply don't know what to think about it. Sunshine always praises your cool and collected personality when met with insults and ignorance— the church doesn't need any more bad publicity than what it already has, and you've been a perfect representation of how members of the church should act when confronted with angry Catholics.

She also loves how sweet you are with animals. There is not a creature on this planet that you don't respect and love equally, and Sunshine respects that about you. You and Sunshine both had rescued a dog that had gotten hit by a drunk driver and little while ago, and the two of you nursed the sweet puppy back to health. This thrilled the air Ghoul to bits, especially when the dog rewarded her with kisses. You thought that was absolutely adorable!

Aurora:

Aurora is your princess— your everything. She always had been. This is what she loves most about you. You legitimately love her, and she loves you. You're life and death partners, and you've always been in her corner. When Aurora had been summoned from Hell, similarly to when Phantom had been summoned, a lot of the Ghouls were harsh with her because of the loss of Aether and Sunshine. You had never been harsh with her, and actually convinced the other Ghouls to be kind to her, as she was just as confused as the others were. Aurora accepted your friendship immediately because you were the only one who spoke to her, and that developed into a relationship; a partnership. Aurora grew on everyone faster than Phantom did, which you secretly appreciated because of how sensitive your girlfriend could be. Swiss was especially accepting of Aurora after you spoke with him and told him how much the air Ghoul meant to you. Aurora's heart soared immediately when she realized you'd talked to the others and they actually agreed to give her a chance. Aurora always knew you'd make her feel welcome amongst the church, and had no hesitation about whether or not you'd always be in her corner. That would go without saying— and Aurora loves you for it.

sayid my close friend sayid! i love how he’s always right even when everyone is like woah category five sayid moment 🙄 literally believe him… he didn’t believe that man so he went out in the pouring rain to look for a hot air balloon and then dug up a grave to prove himself right all with the woman who shot his girlfriend like two weeks ago but he doesn’t blame her because he’s a) a feminist and b) knows who the Real Enemy is… that shit was crazy. they dug up a grave. in the pouring rain. and he was right.

ana lucia for the final time.... she was giving me everything in two for the road... ana lucia i would have kept you alive forever baby... when her and sayid went looking for that damn balloon that was like. one of the craziest things to happen all season. they could have become such a crazy good duo if she hadn’t been murdered. rest in peace forever babygirl i love youuuuuu 🩷

michael. kill yourselfffffff oh my god. imagine getting ranked below SAWYER. that shit was DIABOLICAL work i’m never forgiving him i hope he suffers horribly

[dustorange]

THAT TOMB OF RAMSES POST GOT ME THINKING Obviously a lot of the latent almost effortless antimonarchism of American perspectives is a result of democracy being our system and obvi the founding but it at times leads to excessively unfair ungenerous and, truthfully, inaccurate reads of the semi-universal role and responsibilities of kings, especially because of our general secularism as Americans, in that there’s no real appreciation for the fact that, within religious belief systems, kings were really like discrete girardrian scapegoats with unusual amounts of agency and of course the state capacity to bring your will to life. Deciding wars, deaths/lives/executions, laws (contradictorily in civilizations in which God is the proclaimed Legislator) in short elbowing humanly into the frontier of God for the express purpose of practically day-to-dayly governing and managing one’s people and civilization. And so the way to conceptualzizez kings is like the civilization sacrificing one of its own to do the “dirty work” of Deciding for everyone else because that Deciding is Deciding the stuff that might send you literally to Hell and not just an ordinary Hell but an awfuler one because you had such an unbelievable LIST ofHIGHLY significant decisions you made and you flouted divinity and order in such a major way for your people. And so the king’s sacrifice leaves the common people to act or feel themselves as mere pawns, content sometimes to be moved around and suffer if they know they r not the agent DECIDING the war but instead just fighting in it as a common soldier.

The scapegoat is not what he once was. No longer is he hounded; now he is pitied (the rights of man, dissidents, the 'beurs ', * etc.) . But he is the scapegoat nonetheless and it is still the same.

When there is a solution, it is no longer a real problem. When there is an answer, it is no longer a real question. For at that point, the problem is part of the solution and the answer is part of the question. And then nothing remains but solutions without problems and answers without questions. O, happy days when we had only questions without answers and problems without solutions!

And that’s what i always think about when u think about the Islamic stance that you must obey kings and not come out against them in a rebellious and destructive manner

“ It is an obligation to obey the leader, even if he is not fair or trustworthy or even if he committed sins or mistakes.”(2) Abu Hanifa’s school says that the head of the state, the Imam, cannot be expelled for being a corrupt person (fasiq).(3) Hudhaifa bin al-Yaman narrated a hadith in which he said, “The Prophet (saws) said, ‘there will be after me leaders who do not follow my guidance and do not follow my sunna, and there will be among them men whose hearts are like those of satan in the body of a human being.’ And I asked the Prophet (saws), ‘What I should do at that time if I reach it?’ He said, ‘listen and obey the ruler, even if he lashed your back and took your money, listen and obey.’”(4)

In another narration, Auf bin Malik t said, “O Prophet of Allah, do you recommend that we fight them?” He said, “No, don’t fight them as long as they do not prevent you from your prayers . And if you see from them something that you dislike, dislike their acts, do not dislike them. And do not take your hand out from obedience to them.”(5) Bukhari and Muslim narrated from Abdullah ibn al-Abbas, “if someone dislikes his ruler, he must be patient, because if he comes against the ruler in a rebellious or destructive manner by only a handspan and dies, he dies in a state of pre-Islamic ignorance (jahiliyyah) and sin.”

IN THAT IT SEEMS TO ME THE KING HAS A MUCH HIGHER LIKELIHOOD OF BEING CONDEMNED TO HELL BECAUSE RHE NATURE OF leadership is that your fingers are in a LOT of unsavory pies and this brings us to the semicontemporary equivalent, the Presidential System, and more especially the scandal around JFK being President as a Catholic and the implications of such a position on his relationship to the Pope, whom, as a Catholic, he would have to obey! Famously in response to the concerns the Catholic JFK said his first loyalty would be to America, over the Pope. This is a SACRIFICE!! For the people and a sacrifice OF JFK’s faith, a good-enough cast for us to say that kings (or “kings”) sacrifice an easier path to Heaven for the capital-n Nation which is of course a big sacrifice, the BIGGEST sacrifice i was going to tie this back to Ramses and ancient Egypt but i forgot what i was going to say

[catholic-character-tournament]

Round 1 - Resurrect Bracket (Losers Bracket) Side A

ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to [make it to the finals]

Propaganda below ⬇️

Saint Citrina Rocks (Dimension 20’s A Crown of Candy)

there’s nothing better that i can do for this character’s chance to win than to say that one of her titles, in canon, is “Cloistered Scholar of the Immaculate Confection” and if that ain’t a great pun I don’t know what is

I never finished acoc but if the fandom is actually right, shout out to gay lemon saint and martyr.

Popular headcanon says she fucked the broccoli Pope <3 (or at least that they had an intense romantic relationship which might’ve avoided premarital relations due to their religious ties).

OKAY so Citrina Rocks is basically the token Jesus freak (affectionate) of her very atheist maybe-a-touch-pagan family. She’s a saint of the church that’s actively fighting against her brother (the king of Candia, her home kingdom and yes the entire place and all the people are Just Candy) and his family. She was ordered to be murdered by a bishop of the church she was essentially canonically in homoerotic love with and she is made of lemon flavored hard candy. i love her SO MUCH

Hellboy Propaganda

He is literally the beast of the apocalypse. He was forcibly assigned catholic at birth, he deserves this. Now i know the rules said no demons, and that is fair. But here is my propaganda: he is a half-demon AND he absolutely does not want to end the world. He just wants to hang out and beat up monsters and work his job. But catholic guilt and apocalypse stuff always gets in the way. The comic books contain a ridiculous amount of religious imagery, the author was raised catholic, and passages from the bible are occasionally quoted. Hellboy is also portrayed as a messianic figure in conjunction with being an apocalyptic one. He uh, kind of becomes the savior of the new world and its like a whole thing. Catholic imagery appears frequently. Statues of the virgin mary, churches, etc. he also wears a literal cross on his belt, what can i say.

Okay here’s my rant. Hi, hello, propaganda. The last ten issues of the comic literally feature Hellboy going to hell and killing satan. He kills satan, fucks around in hell for a bit, and then blows everything up and its godamn tragic. Forcibly assigned catholic at birth. A bro did not ask for this it just happened. His mom was a witch but tried to become catholic after she died. Kind of a banger move. It didn’t work out for her but she gets points for trying. He tried real hard to save the world and it kind of worked but he did still die and go to hell. But not because he did anything bad, it was just kind of unavoidable. Again, he did blow the place the fuck up when he was done so. Respect.

Lapsed Catholic who is literally a half demon and also the rightful King of England that’s right he’s descended from King Arthur on his mother’s side.

Hiii lovely ❤️ just saw that ur Taking requests for Matt M and I have two prompts u can choose from, I hope they spark inspiration 😘 tysm

1. Breed crows and they will gouge your eyes out.

2. I'll be damned if I let you die.

of course!! i hope u enjoy <3 this rly took an enemies to love kinda road i can't lie to u

matt murdock + "i'll be damned if i let you die"

tw; mentions of injury + canon-typical violence

You and Daredevil had been enemies at one point.

Back before you knew him as Matthew Murdock and way back when your relationship was just meeting on a roof-top every night, he'd hated your guts. The feeling was mutual. You had shared interests - the greater good, justice, yada, yada, yada - but he got in your way and you, in his.

But you were clumsy, you see. Tripping and falling was one thing but when guns and knives became involved? What was once a quirky trait was now...mortally threatening. That concerned Matt deeply; it wasn't personal, it was just that he was a man of religion and leaving you to bleed out on a roof top wasn't very Catholic of him.

Dragging you back to his apartment to bandage you up wasn't his idea of fun. Your sarcastic quips and jabs at his life choices didn't stop, even when he was shakily stitching up your wounds.

It was during those times that you became to know him as Matt. He wasn't just a vigilante - he was a lawyer, and he went to Church as much as he could. You learnt that his favourite artist was Bowling for Soup, but he told everyone it was The Beatles. The only song that could make him cry was Vienna by Billy Joel, and his favourite show to have on in the background was Friends. Ross was his favourite, apparently (god forbid).

You'd seen him outside of the mask as well. Your only observation of that particular event was that he was hot.

It was in a cold Tuesday night that you injured yourself worse than you had before. You'd run into a bullet, as you'd so eloquently put it. Matt preferred the term 'got shot' but...tomato, tomato.

"God, that hurts so fucking much," you murmured. "Shit. Sorry. I'm not meant to use the Lord's name in blasphemy-"

"- you nearly died," Matt cut you off, safety-pinning up your bandages. "You could cry to every god there is and I wouldn't be offended."

You smiled. "Thanks, Daredevil."

"I hate when you call me that," he muttered.

Matt stood up, gently lifting up your legs from the sofa so that he could take a seat. He put them back down over his own thighs, a large hand resting on your calf.

You'd definitely got touchier over the last few months. You didn't always notice. It was natural, now that you were friends - if you could call it that. You never saw Matt outside of him stitching you up.

"It's less syllables than...what did they used to call you? Satan of Washington Heights? Evil Knievel of the Upper East Side-"

"- Devil of Hell's Kitchen," Matt cut you off with a laugh. "You're a real pain in the ass."

"Maybe you should let me bleed out. You'd get some peace of quiet then."

Matt reached out a hand, intertwining your fingers and softly pulling you to sit up. His other one rested on the small of your back, guiding you so that you didn't strain your injuries too much. He didn't say anything - just softly smiled.

"I'll be damned if I let you die."

He pulled you further towards him and into his lap. You followed his cues, pressing your lips to his and tangling a hand in his hair. His lips were soft, which you hadn't expected - his hands were calloused, voice gravelly and skin scarred. It was a welcome feeling; he was a good kisser. Gentle, but still enough to knock the air from you. A little like him.

So much for being enemies.

The Missed Potential of Luka (and why he's the best character in Bayonetta 3)

So I finished playing Bayonetta 3 last night as of writing this post, right? I’m not going to go into specifics about the plot, but I was spoiled early on about Viola. It didn’t ruin the story for me–I actually enjoyed it a lot more knowing who she was. I didn’t really care about Dr. Sigird or Singularity. While they’re not dealbreakers (RIP Jeanne), I was more here for the characters and their emotional journeys. 

This isn’t about Viola. 

This is about Luka.  

Luka is, unironically, my favourite Bayonetta character. I fell in love with him the first time in Bayonetta 1, liked him in Bayonetta 2, and then fell in love again during Bayonetta 3. I was shocked at how much development he got, because he actually felt like a somewhat active participant in that story, rather than a tacked on nobody in the second who is just there because he’s supposed to. 

Luka as a fae king, Lukaron? Love it. Evil Adam? Sure, why not? Big puppy? Instantly love it. Someone please give him some Excedrin wrapped in cheese, please. 

Anyway, to me, it felt like he didn’t do much in Bayonetta 2. Besides giving some lore dumps, the pages scattered about, and dragging Loki up to the mountain, he wasn’t that involved in the overarching story. I can’t say the same for Bayonetta 1, and especially Bayonetta 3. 

In Bayonetta 1, he was trying to find the murderer of his father, and that was resolved in that game. It’s a bit of a shame it never came up again, but it doesn’t really need to. He was someone that knew a few answers to Bayonetta’s questions, but not all of them. I liked them working together. Didn’t love him staring at her boobs near the end, but it never really came up again, so I’m chalking it up as a dubious writing choice before Bayonetta really took off. 

Bayonetta 3, though? He got so much more interesting development and involvement with the plot? I was so on board with his stained-glass-Catholic-beastmode-werewolf worm, Stryder. When we found out about that in the Ancient Egypt level, I was so on board, and it tied into Viola’s pixie powers. Ya’ll, I was screaming, crying, throwing up when he said he’d always love Viola and Bayonetta. It made me hella emotional. 

An aside, but I wished Bayonetta had some Lumen Sage powers from Baldur, so this was the closest thing to that for me. To me it makes sense Viola would have bits of both powers, as she seems she doesn’t have complete Umbra Witch powers, as she can’t summon/doesn’t want to/doesn’t need to summon Cheshire with her hair. 

Relating to Luka’s character development is the discourse surrounding the ending. Comphet was thrown around a lot. Compulsory Heterosexuality, also known as ��comphet’, is the assumption that everyone is born straight, or should be straight. I can understand being disappointed by the ending, but I didn’t find it to be comphet. 

If you factor in the development Luka and Bayonetta have in Bayonetta 1 and 2 (irregardless if those games actually happened in Bayonetta 3 before the fact), they’ve known each other for a long time and care about each other. I was so into Bayonetta trying to save Luka at the end of Bayonetta 3 and turning him back from Stryder, AND the fact he does help you in the final boss. That is personally how I read Bayonetta 3 because I played the previous 2 games. 

I would consider BayoLuka to be comphet if they had no development or chemistry whats-so–ever. But they do. Luka literally went to hell with Bayonetta at the end of Bayonetta 3 because she died. It wasn’t like they were forced together at the end to make it a happy ending. I thought she was going to be forced into a relationship with him to make sure Viola exists in the future, that’s how bad I assumed the ‘comphet’ to be. It wasn’t. 

THIS IS ALSO IGNORING THE FACT HE LOVES VIOLA! YOU CAN’T TELL ME HE’D LOVE HIS DAUGHTER SO MUCH!!! The fact that he went after Viola first before Bayonetta at the end, possibly at the extent of Bayonetta’s life? Divine. I was hooting and hollering in delight watching him struggle to decide before he made his decision to save Viola. It was delightfully bittersweet and angsty. Incredible. While I’m normally not a fan of hamfisting established characters' children into media, I thought Viola was handled well. I loved her. 

Like, I dunno. You can be disappointed BayoJeanne isn’t canon, but you can’t ignore Bayonetta and Luka have and had have chemistry. No one (at least, recently that I have found) bats an eyelash about Link and Zelda (and Ganon) being linked to each other by fate with the number of people that ship Link and Zelda. It just feels hypocritical in this sense with the themes of family and motherhood/fatherhood in the three Bayonetta games. 

TO BE FAIR, I will admit the sudden development between them was a bit jarring, but I was into it. Again, I somewhat blame him being sidelined a bit in Bayonetta 2 overall, but I enjoyed he and Bayonetta were already familiar with each other in 3. Maybe it would have been better to see more development of them before the story took place, or in a different universe (i.e. Viola’s parents), but it’s not overly relevant. 

I was scrolling the Bayonetta AO3 page and found most people shipped BayoJeanne, but found very few recent fics about Luka. Hell, I made a Luka & Viola tag. There was none! At least, maybe there were so few fics it didn’t add the tag yet. 

Regardless, to me the fandom hates and is scared of Luka for basically no reason. I like Jeanne a lot, too, and she has chemistry, but crying comphet erases bisexual/pansexual people. Let alone the fact Bayonetta has 2 hands, and can love both Jeanne and Luka. I’m not sure fully where it comes from, but I am not going to let my boy be slandered on my watch. You don't think he's eating her out in hell in between being tortured? Please

TDLR: Read my fic about Luka and Viola please

some stuff that would be different  in my version of hbo supernatural (season 2)

season 1  season 3

IN MY TIME OF DYING

“where’s the colt?” “your son is dying and you're worried about a gun” “that demon is not dead yet samuel, thanks to you”

when sam finds out that john was trying to summon azazel while dean was still in comma, she loses her shit (“unbelievable! my expectations were low but you surpassed yourself! your own son is between life and death and you want to bring the demon here! for what? to have some stupid macho showdown?” “someone has to” “excuse me?” “you know samuel, this is all your fault, once again you couldn’t just man up and pull the fucking trigger, kill the thing, you had to be same old sissy and chicken off, if your brother dies its his blood in your hands”)

*ghostie dean throws that glass on the floor* john, looking terrified at sam: was it you? sam: what? no, the table is about two meters from me, how could i do it?john:... yeah, nevermind

when azazel and john make the deal, they would’ve kissed, LIKE EVERY OTHER DEMONIAC DEAL!!!!

the thing john whispers to dean is “be careful, something about your brother is not right” which dean interprets as just john being randomly transphobic so he loses his patience and shouts “oh fuck off, i almost died and you come here talking shit about your own daughter?”. john just responds “i’m not talking about this”

EVERYBODY LOVES A CLOWN

sam teasing dean for his (repressed) crush on ash (“interesting that taste in men of yours” “samantha, what the fuck are you talking???” “you flirting with ash” “i wasn’t flirting with ash!!” “you really trying to lie to your gay sister?” “no cause i’m not gay and wasn’t flirting with him” “i’ve road tripping with you over an year, your body language talking to ash were exactly the same like with any girl at a bar”

also all that jo/dean thing would be OBLITERATED because i hate it here!!!!

BLOODLUST

not much considerations here sikes there’s a lot HOWEVER gordon would be a much better built character, explaining how the trauma made him be the way he turned to be which is better than uuuuuuh a vamp killed my sister now i'm batshit crazy am i a joke to you mr kripke?

HOWEVER the misoginy in the hunter community is still a bitch so that scene where they’re all celebrating in the bar would go like “lighten up a little, sammy!” “dean’s the one who gets to call me that, is samantha to you” “oh sure, no offense meant. just celebrating a little.” “sure. well, it's just that decapitations aren’t my idea of a good time” “of course, my bad. sometimes i forget how the ladies can get when things get a little bit gory”

when that vegetarian vampire girl explains to sam that her crew don’t kill people she says “it's not because you were destined to be the monster that you can't act any different, you always have the choice” our catholic antichrist was baffled

“c’mon, hit me on the face” “what?” “i punched you earlier, sam. i have a million flaws but women beater is not one of them so if you hit me back, it will leave the domestic violence field and go to a simple fight between siblings” “ dean that’s literally not how it works!” “whatever lawgirl. now my face, punch it” “i may break your nose!” “so don't aim at it”

THE USUAL SUSPECTS

lawgirl time!!!

“i did my research, sam. 23 years old transexual woman, no job, no home address, mom died when you were a baby. your family moved around a lot when you were a kid but you were always a straight-A student, going to stanford with a full ride. about a year your roommate-” “girlfriend” “girlfriend jessica died and you fell off the grid” “i just need some time” “sam look, you’re a pre-law student, we caught you brother at the crime scene, his life is over” “actually, detective ballard, it’s not. being at the crime scene is merely circumstantial evidence”

HUNTED

“there will be a war and some humans will fight on hell’s side. humans like our very own sam.” “now you’re sounding lunatic” “i know about her visions” “and i know my sister better than myself! the girl is not evil, she feels bad for the animals whenever she eats meat” “wake up dean, all of those psychics gonna be killers” “not my sister, gordon, sam will not turn into a thing!” “look, i’m sympathetic. i know you are siblings but that’s her destiny”

HOUSE OF THE HOLY

christian antichrist time!!!

“she’s the second in town to murder because an angel told them to” “haha right” “why not” “because there’s no such thing” “dude do you have any idea how much lore about angels there is?” “and?? i’ve never seen one” “dean you and i have seen things most people couldn’t even imagine” “exactly! we see it. we’ve been hunting since kids, if angels existed we would crossed paths with them”

little does he knows that he would be dating a literal angel in less than three years but hey

when father reynolds quotes that biblical passage about angels not being ethical but fair, sam recognizes it and says “luke 2:9”

“thats a vengeful spirit right here” “then again, father reynolds started praying for god’s help two months ago, when all started to happen” “oh c’mon sammy, what’s the deal? first the angel stuff then biblical quotes by heart. what’s next, gonna start praying every day?” “i do, every morning and every night. i have prayed for a long time, since before i remember”

TALL TALES

pure sibling hostility!!!!

“you mind taking your shoes off my bed?” “not at all *rubs the sole on the sheet*” “oh my god you’re a pig!”

HEART

being said on screen, explicitly, that over the past year several women were murdered but since they were sex workers the police simply played dumb

bisexual werewolf madison my beloved

*madison puts gossip girl on* “i saw that” “saw what?” “you puffing” “i didn’t” “look, i know you’re probably thinking i’m a futile little preppy but my house, my tv. so suck it up”

“wait, so blair lost her virginity to chuck because she was mad at serena?” “that too, but actually she was mad at nate” “and chuck orchestrated the whole situation? what an asshole!”

when sam asks how an intelligent and beautiful girl like madison ended up in an abusive relationship, she explains that it didn’t start with a slap, but with smaller things that gradually scallonated

FOLSOM PRISON BLUES

let's start that all of sam's punitive speech in this episode simply wouldn't exist

like ??? it’s already ooc to the canon cw sam and hbo sam read angela davis

“this is, without a doubt, the dumbest, craziest thing we’ve ever done and we almost die once in a month” “relax sammy, it’s just a favor for an old friend, why are you so disturbed on that?” “because I'm thinking about the side risks if your plan doesn't work” “and they are?” “spending the rest of my life in a male prison”

lawgirl moment again! (“we gotta move it, if henricksen gets to the lawyer we’re fucked” “how about the lawyer-client thing?” “the privilege doesn’t apply, in fact-” “*grunting* why did i aaaask?”)

WHAT IS AND WHAT SHOULD NEVER BE

when dean saw sam wearing a pastel floral dress with light makeup he just blurts “christ, where’s all of your goth aesthetic?” and sam answers, totally confused “ended in high school, like a normal person”

“what got into you?” “what do you mean?” “suddenly you're all full of love to give” “i’m just happy for you sammy” “and since when do you call me sammy? c’mon, we don’t talk outside the holidays” “well, we should. i mean, you’re my sister.” “funny that it's been 4 years since i came out and this is the first time you call me sister”

*while going to hunt the djinn* “bitch” “excuse me????” “you’re supposed to call me jerk now” “why would i do that?” “*sights* nevermind”

ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE

“relax samantha, i’m trying to help you. you’re my favorite, the one i’m rooting for” “what does that means?” “this is a competition, only one of you is gonna make it out here alive” “weren’t we supposed to be soldiers?” “sure darling, however i don't need soldiers. i need a soldier, a leader, a queen” “what are you talking about?” “i can’t just spoil the whole story”

bobby explaining that cremating sam as the hunters praxis wouldn’t go against her Catholic faith, as cremation has been allowed by the Holy See since 1963

[missblissy]

hello i saw you were accepting alastor requests so i might request a headcanon from alastor x fem! reader, where the reader is an acquaintance from his childhood, maybe their families were friends but he was never interested in meeting her and now in hell he discovers that they have a lot in common? maybe she also practices vodoo or witchcraft? If you don't want to, no problem, I hope you have a good week. 👋👋

((I would love too <3 And thank you! I hope you have a good week too friend! I had way to much fun with this one so it turned out long Like really long. it's been awhile since I've done these I got a lot of ideas in my head xD Im sorry but I'm not sorry. Hope you enjoy it!!!))

You weren't always in his view. You were just the neighbor girl next door. Sure, your mothers would make you play together during their Sunday brunch parties, but that didn't mean a whole lot then. Alastor was a strange boy you found out. He was shy, he didn't like to play with others, and honestly, he was a big cry baby, hence why you never really hung out unless forced to. And then one day, he wasn't there anymore. He grew up and moved away. Far far away into the big city or something along those lines. It didn't matter then.

But boy does it matter now. You never thought in a million years you'd end up in hell. And then again, you never thought in a trillion years that Alastor would the first real person you ran into down there. First of all, how did he end up here before you, and second... how did he recognize you in this new demonic body. You were frantic and confused and running away from a psychopathic demon that looked like some kind of horse when you quite literally ran into Alastor. He didn't budge but you were knocked back onto your feet. At first, you didn't recognize him and you were ready for your never-ending hellfire torment to begin between the dog man and this red deer. But when he laughed, and he spoke, you could hear the faint familiar voice of the boy who lived next door.

It didn't take a genius to see what was going here. Alastor was and will always be kinder to those he deemed innocent and fair. So he did you a good favor scaring off that demon, but not without scaring you as well. "Oh come on now, (Y/n)! Don't remember me?" He gave you a big smile. You knew it was him, but it was still hard to believe, "Is that really you, Alastor?" You asked him, "You're... haha... Dead too?" You found that so hard to believe for some reason. You died fairly young and so did he apparently. He laughed and nodded his head, "Oh that feels like ages ago! Went and brought myself here on my own. Honestly, I couldn't wait to get out that dumb they call the surface." Oh... Well then.

That was a very strange day, but it was the start of something you never had while alive. Alastor was the only peace you got in this strange and dangerous new world. You weren't exactly the vilest person, you weren't even sure how you ended up in hell. Lastly, you were prone to find yourself in danger too often. And it felt like all too often Alastor was never far to save you. Or maybe he just liked saving you because you were a fresh but old reminder of a simpler time.

You found yourself joining him for lunches, or stoles around the city. He'd often advise you where to go, and where to stay away from. You bonded over memories from life, and what happened when he moved away, "What did you do while I was gone?" He asked. You sat back in your chair and tried not the look at the murder crows Alastor threw his food at. "Oh, well I moved out of Louisiana eventually, I went west to California and found myself among liked-minded people." You told him. He perked up at that and asked, "Like-minded how?" That's when you laughed and shrugged, "Witches..." You chuckled then sat back, "You know I didn't believe in Hell, because pagans don't normally view death in that way. But guess we were wrong, maybe that why I'm here." You both laughed at that.

"You're mother would be very upset to know that wouldn't she?" Alastor joked with you. Your mother was a kind woman but was Catholic through and through, "It's funny too because my family puts up a very good front. Bet you or your mother didn't know we were active practices of Voodoo." You were shocked to say the least and Alastor's smug grin didn't help. You had no clue, but.... It explained a lot about how Alastor may have gotten here.

From there, the two of you found yourself spending more and more time together. Alastor loved showing you the tricks and spells he accumulated over the years. He also loved showing off the great deal of his power and strength. Being around him so often made you become a little numb to the violence that sometimes followed him around. Though rarely, when it did happen, Alastor never held back.

It was strange to think the two of you were so close now, versus when you were kids. He had changed so much in so many ways. The shy little boy who'd cry if he got a cut had grown into a man who deeply loved entertaining himself with other's pain. You wanted to know what changed him, but you knew better than to ask. Rather, you found yourself loving the time you spent with him so much that you didn't want to do anything to ruin it.

He was such a gentleman to you, however. Gentle and kind even. Alastor only seemed to want to protect you, make you laugh, and above all, keep you company. He'd always loop his arm with yours if you were ever walking anywhere. He'd hold open doors, go out of his way even buy you think, or treat you to wonderful meals. Though you noticed he never ate around you which was odd, you didn't question it. You learned quite early not to question Alastor's ways. He'd never give you a straight answer and he was good at dodging questions. It didn't really matter though, this was the rest of your existence, and honestly why question things anymore. Why follow the rules and lectures of society when you're dead. Alastor certainly didn't.

I THREW UP on mah $200 Shoes.

The kinda shoes NIGGAZ wear when they go to they MAMA FUNERAL or chase BITCHES at da LIKKER STO dat will Rejeck em.

You said you’d write a scene so I thought I’d give it a shot

Would you mind doing something with Jack dealing with internalized biphobia? (Possibly religious pressure from someone?) :)

AHHH I LOVE THIS !!

also, as a latina jac, my interpretation of jack is nearly always latino!jack, so thats also represented in this <3

also this ask rlly,, hit different ?? i was raised in a really religious upbringing (southern Baptist on my dad's side, catholic on my mom's side) and though my parents never really pushed religion on me, other family members did and it took a long time for me to be okay with distancing myself from religion for personal reasons. this was really cathartic to write. thank you.

TW: internalized biphobia, religious trauma (from roman catholicism), self hatred, depressive episode, slur mention (the slur is written in Spanish), family and societal pressure, repetition

The water is warm.

His forehead is pressed against his forearm, which keeps him steady against the cool tiled wall. He's breathing heavily. Tears sting at his eyes.

The water is warm.

Around his neck is a chain. A beaded chain, which hangs away from his hunched body, a body that feels so tired and weak and utterly disgusting.

The water is warm.

From the chain hangs a cross. An intricate cross made of metal completes the rosary, accompanied by Christ, a crucifixion, and a heavy reminder that someone died for his sins. There are two dates engraved on the back: the day of Jack's birth and the day of Jack's baptism. Not like much time passed between the two dates. Not like he had a choice.

The water is warm.

Because Jack’s never had a choice, has he? His life has always been handcrafted for him by someone who is not himself. Go to church on Sunday. Go to mass on Wednesday. Go to youth group on Thursday. Say this. Believe that. Hate him. Talk to her. Pray for them. Take a trip to that bodega and speak Spanish in this store and speak English around these people and never use this slang with that group or those words with this group. Every waking moment of every goddamned day, he's doing something for someone else. Being told to do something for someone, by someone, and the someone is never himself.

The water is warm.

But then Jack meets David.

The water is warm.

David, the boy with dark hair and light eyes and an olive complexion and Roman nose. David, the boy who carries a small copy of the Torah with him in his bag. David, the boy who wishes him a Happy Hanukkah every year. David, the boy who teaches him the traditions behind Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah and meanings behind common- and entertaining- Hebrew phrases.

The water is warm.

David is everything Jack has ever wanted to be. Confident, for one; he's not afraid to show his true colors. He's intelligent. Independent. Traditional, but unorthodox; David's out, David's supported, David's happy. Jack wishes he could be happy like David.

The water is warm.

Because, unlike Jack, David doesn't care who knows. David is gay, and there's nothing else to it. David is gay, and his parents don't hate him. David is gay, and he's allowed to date boys, and bring boys home for dinner, and kiss boys in the rain, and he isn't judged for it. He isn't hurt for it. He isn't told that he's a burden, isn't told that he's going to rot in Hell, isn't told that the world would be a better place without a maricón like him. He isn't told that he should pray for himself to be normal again. He isn't told that he needs to start looking for a potential wife at the age of 17 and isn't told that he needs to get these grades better to go to this college and isn't told to hide the biggest part of himself just so he doesn’t have a second target on his back as a brown boy who likes other boys.

The water is warm.

That's all Jack wants. He wants to be normal again. He wants to be able to change in the locker room after P.E. and not feel guilty. He wants to see himself in the mirror and not hate the boy looking back at him. He wants to be the straight guy that everyone gets and doesn't question. He wants to bring home a nice girl for Mamá and Papá to meet. He wants to celebrate Día de Los Muertos without feeling like the family disappointment or the potential end of a bloodline.

The water is warm.

All he wants to do is get rid of this side of him.

The water is warm.

All he wants to do is stop thinking about David.

The water is warm.

All he wants to do is stop wanting to kiss him. Hold him. Fuck him. All he wants to do is see him as a friend. A 'bro'. One of the guys. All he wants to do is stop crying himself to sleep each night. All he wants to do is get rid of these fucking feelings and these fucking heartaches and these fucking moments when he wants to fall asleep and never wake up.

The only thing Jack wants is to wake up tomorrow and not feel torn between wanting a wife and wanting a husband. Two children, a dog, and a white picket fence, versus no children, a cat, and a life of adventure and devotion. A desk job versus a studio. Church versus freedom. Compliance versus happiness. Repression versus rebirth.

As the first of many heart-wrenching sobs claws its way from his throat, Jack drops himself to his knees in that shower and prays to wake up without the urges and temptations.

As the tears hit hard and the tile hits harder, Jack bows his head and prays to wake up and not be completely, unpredictably, irrevocably in love with that dark haired, light eyed boy with olive skin and a Roman nose.

The water is cold.

Round 3 - Resurrect Bracket (Losers Bracket)

Propaganda below ⬇️

Hellboy Propaganda

He is literally the beast of the apocalypse. He was forcibly assigned catholic at birth, he deserves this. Now i know the rules said no demons, and that is fair. But here is my propaganda: he is a half-demon AND he absolutely does not want to end the world. He just wants to hang out and beat up monsters and work his job. But catholic guilt and apocalypse stuff always gets in the way. The comic books contain a ridiculous amount of religious imagery, the author was raised catholic, and passages from the bible are occasionally quoted. Hellboy is also portrayed as a messianic figure in conjunction with being an apocalyptic one. He uh, kind of becomes the savior of the new world and its like a whole thing. Catholic imagery appears frequently. Statues of the virgin mary, churches, etc. he also wears a literal cross on his belt, what can i say.

Okay here’s my rant. Hi, hello, propaganda. The last ten issues of the comic literally feature Hellboy going to hell and killing satan. He kills satan, fucks around in hell for a bit, and then blows everything up and its godamn tragic. Forcibly assigned catholic at birth. A bro did not ask for this it just happened. His mom was a witch but tried to become catholic after she died. Kind of a banger move. It didn’t work out for her but she gets points for trying. He tried real hard to save the world and it kind of worked but he did still die and go to hell. But not because he did anything bad, it was just kind of unavoidable. Again, he did blow the place the fuck up when he was done so. Respect.

Lapsed Catholic who is literally a half demon and also the rightful King of England that’s right he’s descended from King Arthur on his mother’s side.

Caesar Zeppeli Propaganda

(Spoiler for anyone who hasn’t JoJo’d) man gets crushed by a cross shaped rock :(( cries. Also they should have made him do the cross at some point I think that would’ve been fun. Oh also I saw someone draw him as the Fallen Angel painting once and I was like ???? bro is literally Catholic and a Good Guy why would you do this (no hate I just. I honestly have a thing with hating when people redraw good characters as that painting but it’s mostly the mental illness talking so whatever) this isn’t even related idk if this is a thing that should be typed here but. Also his birthday is on the Catholic feast day of Julian of Norwich my beloved I know this because it is Also My Birthday.

He’s Italian, he’s homoerotically involved with Joseph and somehow also divorced from him, he wears pastels, his go-to attack is bubbles, and he died being crushed by a giant rock shaped like a cross.
