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

I think a lot of impiety discussions are unreasonable and more opinion than fact but I do think without a doubt it’s incredibly impious to tell people not to worship certain gods (unless it is against the religion like ap/ep). We are pagan to cultivate relationships with the divine and the world, and to consecrate meaning in our lives.
it should be looked down upon, especially when you recognise it as a means of control, to mandate you can’t worship the gods. Nova Roma says you can’t worship Bellona and actively lies about her & her role in history. Bad heathens say you can’t worship Loki despite historical evidence. Helpols are better usually about this but I’ve seen people get looks when Ker reaches out. Uncritical reconstructionists actively campaigning against neogods whose followers know their deities are not historical.
Our religions are beautiful as we walk the world anew. Let us not try to control the rains or the summers or heat or ills—the gods are nature; who would test lord Dionysos when he wishes for comfort of worship?
#that nova Roma member who called me a “lowborn” because I worshipped bellona stating I was “threatening the Roman state”#and then proceeded to tell an Italian friend of mine who lived in rome at the time that they couldn’t see divinity because we were#“lowborn inbreds” or something lmao. ok Kyle from Arizona#not to mention the moralisation of just worshipping deities that harm humans more than the others#writing a whole post on divine harm atm#imagine cultivating the gods and then trying to control who can do it unless there’s a genuine historical reason…#pagan#pagan witch#hellenic paganism#hellenic pagan#roman pagan#roman polytheism#roman paganism#heathen#heathenry#norse polytheism#norse paganism#kemetic paganism#kemetic polytheism

But has Roman actually owned up to his past behaviour yet? Has he even apologized?
#I’m okay with him turning face or going back to heel I just need some clarification here#because Sami was not wasting time standing up for Jey#and if Roman wants to prove that its worth it to reinstate his reign (haha)#he needs to show he’s truly changed ya know#live thoughts#the bloodline#roman reigns#wwe smackdown#wwe

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

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)

the pic you drew of them giggling in crop tops was so cute 🥺
also I'm imagining on a day when Roman just. can't handle the teasing (maybe something went really wrong with presenting a creative project and it took a sledgehammer to his self worth) then Remus hangs up a sheet around his bottom bunk to make a little cave hidden away from the world and aggressively snuggles Roman in it until the sad is back to manageable levels
- 🦞 (same anon who requested post-battle kisses)
Thank you so much! :)
Also FUCK YEAH REMROM CUDDLES. That's adorable!! Remus would. Also because I'm terribly gay and still very in love with the "Roman overthinks shit Remus does that Remus himself doesn't think twice about" dynamic, I want to imagine a world where Roman kinda-sorta realises he may or may not have feelings for him while they're snuggled up together and starts unlocking shrimp emotions about it
#listen. listen. picture this. imagine this with me.#roman snuggled up with remus. they're all cosy in remus' bed. roman is smiling and starting to have fun and feel less sad#and remus is making him laugh and all of a sudden roman thinks ''man i love him'' and just freezes.#and he's like. no i've had that thought a thousand times. he's my brother of course i love him. that's normal why am i being weird about it.#but. but. he *is* being weird about it. :) and now that he's started being weird about thinking ''i love remus''. he can't un-think it!#remus next to him is living his best oblivious life snuggling him and roman is having a crisis in the middle of their cuddle time#listen i love it when roman is weird about remus and is like ''why am i being weird. this should not be weird. stop being weird''#sorry you handed me a purely fluffy prompt and i can't help but turn everything i see into psychological angst . 😔#ask#🦞 anon#rambles#remrom#<- i am stupidly happy about having an [emoji] anon slhdksb hello!

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
