To me, Machete kind of has the energy of a secondary villain/coldhearted side character in someone else's story that a lot of fans latch onto, moreso than the protagonist. Question is, would he be the villain in anyone's story?
Why, thank you! I'm actually glad to hear he gives off that vibe. I don't think he set out to become a villain but a lot of people certainly view him as one.
#in the 16th century canon he starts out as an introverted but sincerely well meaning guy that never quite manages to find his social niche#he was a sensitive kid and when subjected to enough pressure#his insecurity fearfulness and powerlessness mutate into distrust resentment aggression suffocating repression and self-restraint#I don't think he's a bad person in fact he consistently tries very hard to do the right thing#do his job properly avoid letting people down and get through life with a sense of dignity#but he is supposed to come across kind of cold impersonable and difficult to be around if you don't know him personally (and very few do)#people can sense there's something wrong with him and are put off by it#Vatican is a nest of vipers and as the stakes rise he retreats deeper into his coldblooded untouchable work persona#he has no choice but to start lying scheming blackmailing and eliminating his enemies#in order to maintain his position keep Vasco safe their relationship under wraps and his own head above water#essentially playing by the same rules everyone else in the holy see has been playing with for centuries#eventually he loses his spot as the secretary of state and is manipulated/forced to take on a role in the roman inquisition#and if people were sort of iffy about him before being the authority overseeing trials torture excommunications and executions doesn't help#and since he has so few allies and such an infamous reputation he's an easy target for scapegoating whenever necessary#towards the end it dawns on him that he's become the kind of twisted cruel corrupt person he used to fear and despise#and the guilt moral injury and abject self-loathing had largely sapped him of his will to live by the time the final assassin gets him#answered#anonymous#Machete#Vaschete lore#he thought his dream of priesthood would make him a better person more worthy of admiration safety and love but he climbed too high#and got roped up in the dangerous games that take place under god's nose and slowly got strangled to death

i hate golden child Dick Grayson. everyone ignores how ANGRY this kid actually was. We rarely get accurate dick grayson, all the teen titans shows have been so off on his personality (you cannot tell me they accidentally made the character tim and realised halfway through wrong robin) and the fandom sees him as "oh everyone finds him attractive + he's Bruce's perfect angel and Jason hates him because of that"
no he literally killed the joker.
why do we skim over that he KILLED THE JOKER. He didn't even know Jason; bruce was his father and he not only refused to kill the joker, interfered when someone else tried to but hit jason in the same way after he came back. His SON. But dick felt so strongly about a kid he regretted not getting close to that he killed a man.
and then if you think that was a one off
in that panel where he fully BEATS Bruce's ass in gotham war? served. ate.
people dumb him down way too often like he wasn't the first robin. you cannot out do the doer so they gotta drag him down to bring others up.
not to mention the fanon portrayal ignores the trauma he has from liu, mirage and tarantula. it looks at that and goes "ok! cool but he IS a flirt :3" he isn't allowed to grieve in the comics either because SOMEBODY (devin) won't let him because he "didn't say no"
and give jason his own friends DC please stop giving him handmedowns he deserves more (i do love him and roy i just wish they also maintained the roy dick friendship because it's usually one or the other)
thabk yoau and gooenight
#nightwing#dc comics#dick grayson#golden child#batfamily#jason todd#bruce wayne#Read the “dick grayson kills the joker” ao3 tag#Actually just read ao3#you haven't lived until you graduate from “wayne family webtoon” style fics into “bends canon cutely” fics#I don't mind the wayne family adventures but i just don't like their protrayal of some characters#ok this might be brainless rambling I've only had a muffin.#I HATE DICKIE WAYNE#let him be ANGRY#Let him be MAD#Let him shock everyone with the rage#the amount of times he's been sa'd. not once. not twice BUT THREEEEEE times.#everyone forgets about liu#She was THIRTY#He was seventeen#leave him alone#this is my roman empire#nightwings sa mentioned!! cover your ears fanon !!

went a little insane over the Ancient Rome part of Infinite Realms and spent two days researching Rome oops
The Vlad and Danny piece is based off of Anton Mengs's painting called Jupiter Kissing Ganymede
#danny phantom#vlad plasmius#dp#pompous pep#ive learned so much about rome now#if u take for granted that the location shown in The Colosseum#then the scene in infinite realms likely takes place between 80-200 AD putting it into the early Roman Empire time period#idk if that matters to anyone but i found it fun to try and figure out#the myth of zeus/jupiter and ganymede gave me some au pompep vibes#vlad seeing danny and sweeping him away to live with him forever#rich roman men would have their fav male lover dress up as ganymede to serve drinks at parties#rich romans looooved their gold jewelry especially rings with gemstones#iron and other metals were used for The Plebeians#being a bottom was Illegal for roman citizens#so much interesting history#ok history lesson over

disney is a coward so I know they'll never do this, but given what we learned was SUPPOSE to happen between alex and stevie, I would still love a post-eloping for the reboot.
like just imagine alex and stevie as the Cool Gay Aunts(tm) for justin's kids (+ billie). they show up for the holidays and totally shower the kids with magical gifts, including a baby dragon for the boys (which does end up setting fire to their parents bed sheets). milo shows off a magic trick to his friends, using alex (since billie's not allowed to) sneakily casting spells from the bushes so the card really does dissapear from his hand, leaving his friends cheering (stevie smiling but refusing to admit to alex how cute is it). stevie has a motorcycle (which alex thinks is super hot but also refuses to admit) and while the kids aren't old enough for a ride, she does let them sit on it and rev the handles nice and loud while justin panics from the porch. they team up with all three kids to pull pranks on justin and even sometimes get giana in on a few harmless ones. maybe alex even uses her role on the tribunal to get stevie's records cleared, and they both start to advocate for a more fair way of distributing magic between families.
and billie could have an extra adult at her side! I know justin is suppose to fill the pseudo-dad role, but while billie spends her time with the russo's, also gets to spend her summers or whatever with her two cool wizard aunts. they encourage her to keep up with her studies but for the most part they just chill, letting billie indulge in a few sweets (knowing how health-conscious justin has forced his family to be) and sometimes in a pg-13 movie together. when she's there however, the house does turn into a prank war; guests are to be extremely careful when entering and encouraged to bring a separate pair of clothes.
I dunno it would just be super cool; alex and stevie reunited and I think the kids would love her too - plus watching their aunt who's always acted so aloof get all smiley and whatnot and I'm just imagining a scenario with alex and the kids like:
billie: why does stevie call you babygirl
alex: hey who wants to play the quiet game!!
#wizards of waverly place#wowp#wizards beyond waverly place#disney channel#I would LOVE a reappearance of stevie though just imagine it#even though billie has been training something happens where the council finally decides to strip her of her powers like alex warned about#alex and justin try going to talk to the council on billie's behalf but have to leave her behind#and when billie's all alone you suddenly see stevie slink from the shadows with a 'hey kid..'#billie is nervous at first but stevie says she actually wants to help her and that it's not fair what's happening to her#and says if billie comes with her then she can keep her powers and in a moment of worry billie makes the split decision to go with her#I dunno how alex finds out maybe roman sees it happen too late and says some girl took billie#'what girl??' 'I dunno! she was a wizard too - she kept her wand in her boot!'#and IMMEDIATELY alex knows what happened#alex eventually finds stevie and there's this VERY tense moment when they see each other#stevie still mad at alex for 'betraying' her (even if stevie was kinda right but nvm) and who's she's aligned with now#'you workin' for the man now russo? gone soft?' 'at least I'm not straight-up stealing kids'#alex still feeling a bit guilty about what she did to stevie but mad at her for taking billie#there's an almost fight (verbal or magical whichever) but in some outside chaos they loose billie#now they're forced to team up to find her#and although it's cold at first they both warm up again to each other having missed their friendship (even if it was short lived)#stevie quietly admiring how much further alex has gotten with magic and how she's excelled#and alex still having a soft heart for stevie wanting to help the wizards who got abandoned#anyway they find billie but the council is alerted to what happened and is now on their way to them to capture stevie#a cornered alex pleads with stevie saying she can persuade the council to let her go and while stevie's heart skips at that#she knows it's no use and uses her magic to create a pocket dimension to escape or something#but not before kissing alex on the corner of her lips and saying 'till next time russo - give that stuck-up council some hell for me'#freezing alex who's seconds from pulling her back and then disappears#billie enters and unfreezes alex and watches her face slowly turns crestfallen as she realizes#'do you think we'll ever see her again?' 'your guess is as good as mine kid..' '..do you want to?' '....lets head back home.'#WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE

Short Story Snippet - Of Natural Sin
A conversation in 1542, between a soon to be married woman, and her friend and priest - who is gay and a bastard.
#clearly the conversation is about them reframing that mindset#the girl - lucrezia is set to be married#at the end of the conversation - she finds the power not to be married#but i like the jumping around you know?#like this is a gay priest - who is also a bastard so in his time he would be a natural sin#and she is a woman - and she feels she is a natural sin#the priest has already lived long enough to know that what he believes about himself is false#the self hatred he felt for himself - died down ages ago#the idea that he feels himself a natural sin just doesn't exist -#but#to him#to see another stuck in that mindset#saddens him#i think that there are always comparisons of gay men being natural sins and other men helping them#but i also like the idea of like a gay man helping a woman#this short story takes place in Italy in 1542#the girl is italian the priest is english#writing prompt#writing community#creative writing#european history#religious trauma#religious imagery#adam and eve#roman catholic#catholicism#web weaving#typography#moodboard#writers of tumblr

i do love canon amy & rory but god, does some part of me wish they really had gone with the idea of the doctor picking up a child as a companion (and then later, that child’s best friend with a huge crush on her.) with the rest of the season really not changing at all, except now it’s amelia pond with an angel in her head killing her and lost alone in the woods. it’s little rory who dies and is forgotten and becomes a toy soldier. if this is going to be a fairy tale, then let it be one. children have never been safe in fairy tales.
#it wouldn’t have to change any of the actual plot of the season. except MAYBE amy’s choice but even then i think amy’s choice would be the#one episode where they should be adults. if only for the half where they live in a village in that dream.#because that’s the kind of future that children would dream up. they live in a little cottage and nothing ever goes wrong and their best#friend visits them all the time even though they’ve grown up.#they aren’t actually adults there just children with an idea of what they should be as adults and acting accordingly#and it would still end the same way.#but idk its just. rory’s 2000 years waiting for amy inside the pandorica is already tragic. yes.#now imagine its a kid. a kid in a little roman soldier helmet who will never grow up. who will not leave his best friend.#he loves her and she’s more important than the whole universe and that sort of love is supposed to MEAN something in a fairy tale!#its supposed to melt the ice out of hearts and transform people from stone.#and what that love means here. is that he will have to wait 2000 years. a child and a box.#little rory and the amelia who followed the doctor’s letters to the pandorica. and she doesn’t recognize him again.#and amelia in the pandorica… 2000 years a child trapped in a small box waiting to be rescued.#s5 is already fucked for them but it could be worse. it could be so much worse.#and it would make the doctor choosing to take her place in the pandorica to save the universe later even better.#because who else but the doctor would put the fate of the universe on the shoulders of two children and realize much too late what a#monstrous thing he’d done. and still have to hope. have to hope. that amelia would remember him fondly enough to bring him back to reality.#the logistics of all of this would have been a pain lmao. child labor laws in acting and all that.#BUT. hypothetically. it would have slapped.#doctor who#amy pond#rory williams#<- also this entire time ive been referring to him in my head as rory pond so much that i fuckin. forgot his actual last name.#and then like if you want them to be adults in s6 or whatever you can just timeskip to them getting married and still have amelia remember#the doctor there. it would work. it would.#amelia pond au

this is a kids show, by the way
#the roman mysteries#no context but do you really need it. im probably the only person in the world watching this cbbc show from 2007/8 for the 1st time in 2024#I remember the game they had on the cbbc website and it's lingered in my subconscious ever since. So I decided to watch it.#It's been a WILD wild ride. they're constantly being kidnapped or mistaken for slaves or drowning or surviving a volcanic eruption#yes that last one is pompeii. yes it's the first episode. the father sends them away to their uncle's farm for the summer.#like this scene is dramatic but these kids are constantly putting their lives in danger this is just a normal day for them#I'll have to make a summary post once I finish this because there's way too much to talk about. it's absolutely bonkers sometimes.#I can't even confidently say this is the worst day of Jonathan's life because MUCH worse things have happened to him than this

Milk baths and bad smells
#korekiyo shinguji#kirumi tojo#cruise ship au#danganronpa ask blog#There are legends that Cleopatra bathed in goat milk daily for her complexion. These legends have not been confirmed and some historians be-#lieve that Roman Empress Poppaea (wife of Nero) set this bathing fashion after Cleopatra's death.#Queens Catherine Parr and later Elizabeth I of England bathed in milk in the belief that it would make their skin appear more youthful and#pale.Tincture of benzoin was also referred to as a 'milk bath' in the United States in the 1800s#which could in some cases be confused#for baths of cow milk#also popular at the time. There are references to cows milk as a bath technique found in India in the 1800s in#“Fifty-one years of Victorian life” by Margaret Elizabeth Child Villiers#Countess of Jersey. In the early 1900s#singer and Broadway star#Anna Held was reported to bathe in milk daily. She was later quoted as having bathed in milk two times a week when living in Paris#finding#it difficult to do so while traveling. Her husband Florenz Ziegfeld Jr. later reported to the press that she bathed in milk daily and set up#photo shoots so that reporters could photograph the milk being delivered to her. A buttermilk bath was also a common historical bathing#technique for show animals and remains in practice today (such as for pigs and dogs).#- That's Korekiyos Rambling (it's from Wikipedia)

I’m trying to have a coherent thought here about Ruby and Neo parallels. I’m getting on my tinfoil hat here bare with me.
In Roman Holiday Neo doesn’t really have motives aside from wanting someone to understand her. She finds that in Roman who is the first person to acknowledge her abilities and treat her like an actual genuine friend. Her only goal in the Fall of Beacon was to stay with Roman. So much of her identity was tied to him because she was able to comfortably be herself around him.
We already know that Ruby’s identity is also tied to someone important to her, her mom. That doesn’t need much explaining. I think in order for either of them to move forward they would need to let go of the metaphorical ghosts they’re chasing which is easier said than done and I’m not entirely sure that Neo would be able to as spiteful as she is.
Basically what I’m saying is Ruby VS Neo but add in some Ego Death.
#because truthfully… I’m not sure what Neo’s going to do AFTER she gets revenge#rwby#rwby9#neo politan#ruby rose#Neo’s whole thing was she was low empathy but she cared very deeply about whoever she could consider an equal#and for a long time that was only Roman#like what’s left for her if she wins?#also if she can make living puppets out of her illusions now#I’m not convinced that her semblance doesn’t have something to do with imagination and I think she’ll make her parents and roman#the mad hatter in Alice in wonderland was stuck in an eternal tea party because he crossed the red queen#he’d been there for so long that he started to go mad and think it was fun#also there is an unseen character in Alice in wonderland called Time that is directly correlated to the everlasting tea party#i have many thoughts#rwby theory
