[anajonessy]

I have three siblings who are all ten to thirteen years older than me, and they all went to boarding school. Because of the age gap, my siblings and I didn't really grow up together, and I spent a lot of time by myself. I also didn’t have a great relationship with my mom, so when I was younger–even though I’d developed a strong sense of social independence, I always said that being around people was the best thing in the world.

I moved out of my family home soon after I turned eighteen or nineteen and since then, I’ve lived with a bunch of people, and I was constantly surrounded by friends and friends of friends, and total strangers. Everyone was in such close proximity–I went from feeling like an outsider to feeling like a social person, and then back again–and I was ok with that. I think I might’ve even equated it to being happy that I’d get anxious after spending even a little time by myself. I felt so restless and miserable, mostly because of the feeling of loneliness that consumed me.

For years it didn't occur to me that, as with most things, my discomfort with being alone might be a sign that I am not meeting my emotional needs.

Fast forward to a little over a year ago, I moved to the outskirts of town and because of that, I don’t really go out as often anymore unless it’s for work. And then, of course, the pandemic happened–I had to quit my job and after getting the curse, I started spending more and more time by myself and that has led to some great things… and some really terrible things, like, it hasn’t particularly been great for my mental health (or rather, lack thereof lol).

But that moment in self-isolation had me thinking about how much I rely on other people to make myself feel ok, and also how incredibly liberating it is to lose the unrealistic expectations put on me to be ‘happy’ and ‘productive’ all the time. I’m an adult and it really sucks that I am so late to the self-realization party haha, but wow, it feels good to finally allow myself to feel what I feel when I feel it.

So these days whenever I feel irrationally upset about anything (or nothing at all!), instead of simply shelving it and focusing on everyone and everything else that is going on, I take a step back, breathe and think about the ways I can create and hold space for myself. Sometimes that means staying in bed longer, reading, trying out a new recipe, listening to a podcast, working on a project, putting my phone on ghost mode, or taking myself out for walks… just doing whatever it is that makes me feel comfortable and content. Other times it’s sitting with myself staring into blank space, or crying (for like, an hour… or more?!?!?!!!!) and feeling so much better afterward.

Anyways, it’s 7:30AM and I just woke up to pee. I’ve got about an hour to journal and relax in bed before I need to get up, make myself breakfast, hit the shower, then head out to see my psychiatrist and counselor. It’s going to be a good day to hang out with myself today.

If you’re reading this, I hope you can find time to hang out with yourself today too. Enjoy yourself. Give yourself advice on life, love, work, and more. Tickle your scalp. Take yourself out on a date. Indulge in self-pleasure. Laugh at your own jokes. Go have fun!

A perfect manipulator to get whatever he wants— Mikhail is a master mind manipulator, discrace to all that is good, there's no other way to describe him, other than he's just like all the Mafia members before him

Likes: his dolls, laundering money, selling firearms, alcohol, cigarettes, getting tattoos done

Dislikes: Anton Volkov, any other of his rivals, loosing control

________________________________________

Backstory:

Not much is known about Mikhail, other than that he just appeared in thin air one day In the criminal underworld. Once fought in the second World War, with no other choice than to be sent to prison. He did his time in the Russian Army, and leaving Immediately in 1945', at the age of 33 years old.

The war was a blur to him, not that it mattered to him. But he did it just because he didn't want to be seen as a coward, and go to prison because of it.

Growing up poor and in the streets of Russia, In a undisclosed large City; He always fell into the wrong crowd like many others, from underground brawl fights, typical games that almost cost his life he always got back up and fought back.

A few times he had gotten in and out of prison, he got various tattoos while serving his time. Covering up his whole body with them. (Though he never did much time, because he always escaped one way or another. He always had a way)

Building his reputation in the underground world he fell first into a Mafia group, at the right place at the right time hed say. Willingly proving himself. Over time he climbed up the ladder and became second in command, and then soon the leader after the original one passed away.

Mikhail became a well respected man over the course of 4 years in 1945, you could always go to him with a problem; As long as you're willing to give him some form of payment back.

He had a large ring of prostitutes, alcohol, fire arms in his grip. The only way he made people stay and serve him is through manipulation, and black mail of course.

It was always dangerous to come to him with a personal problem, because he'd always use it against you to make you stay with him.

In 1949 with his Mafia group in full swing, he was the boss to Anja Petrochenka (She became a personal doll to him) Up until 1960 until she decided to go and work with Perseus.

Enraged that Anja had left him Mikhail constantly retailed and always raided Volkov's warehouse as he was a close ally to the Perseus ring.

Later in 1960 he successfully kidnapped her but she soon got rescued by Volkov's men in the process. After that he fled into the dark before anyone else could get him.

And as for 1981, his whereabouts are currently unknown. Which meant Perseus had no way of getting him.

Part Seven: Epilogue

From the Organized Medical Journal of Felix Ludwig.

File name: Bits of Glass

Note: This document will be written in English so that the Lady Administrator may read it with ease.

Date: 30.01.1969

This morning it came to our attention that our Scout, Jeremy Fulfer-Anderson, has gone missing. This was not cause for alarm, however, because Mr. Fulfer-Anderson was often late for breakfast due to oversleeping or staying out too long on his morning runs. Unfortunately, this common occurrence became an issue when Filfer-Anderson did not appear at any point during the day. After asking the other mercenaries when they had last seen Jeremy, I concluded that he disappeared sometime between three and seven a.m.

Builder’s League United, more commonly known as BLU, was suspected in his disappearance.

We searched the entire base and surrounding area, hoping to find him hiding somewhere. We had no such luck. Upon our return to base, our Sniper (Mick Mundy) discovered a note on the front porch. The note is attached below.

As this is the handwriting of the BLU Spy, this note confirms the involvement of Builder’s League United in Jeremy’s disappearance.

Date: 01.02.1969

This morning, our Sniper reported screaming coming from the BLU base last night. He says that they were the distinct screams of Jeremy. This confirms that BLU wants to make sure we know that Jeremy’s life is on the line if we do not meet their demands.

Our team’s Spy, who has requested that his real name be removed, has become increasingly more distraught over the last two days. This evening, I discovered why. In Spy’s encounter with the BLU team (see file “Espionage”), he says that he was psychologically tortured. This concerns me for multiple reasons. For one, Spy never sought medical attention for his mental health (I will have to address this later), and for two, this means that Jeremy is in a great deal of danger. 

Arrangements have been made to meet to BLU team on their terms on January the fourth, at three o’clock.

Date: 02.02.1969

The screaming from the BLU base is constant now. I am afraid of the condition we will find Jeremy in when we get him back.

Spy’s mental health continues to deteriorate.

Our team’s Heavy (Mikhail Volkov) seems to be plagued by anxiety as well. 

I must admit that I, myself, am becoming increasingly concerned for the health of our Scout.

Date: 03.02.1969

Tomorrow is the day that we are due to meet BLU and make the trade. Our intelligence case for the safe return of Jeremy. I suspect a trick, so I will thoroughly study every bit of information I have ever gathered on Jeremy. I will not be sent a fake. 

The screams persist.

Date: 04.02.1969

In just a few hours, our plan will be set in place. Myself, Mikhail, and our Engineer (Dell Conagher) will meet three representatives from the BLU team at the bridge that separates our bases. While we take care of the negotiations, our Spy will break into the BLU base to retrieve our Scout in the case that we are presented with a fake. If the BLU representatives present us with the real Jeremy, Spy will instead be instructed to steal any sensitive information he can find. 

Spy’s condition continues to decline. I worry for him.

Due to the possibility of Jeremy’s condition being unfavorable upon his return, I will end this report here and continue my findings in the next document

The Insider has obtained screenshots of messages, previously partially published by Russia’s state-owned propaganda outlet RT and Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (ACF). They confirm that Russian-Israeli businessman Leonid Nevzlin, an outspoken exiled Kremlin opponent and a former associate of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, ordered attacks on senior ACF figures Leonid Volkov and Ivan Zhdanov, as well as Alexandra Petrachkova, the wife of Russian opposition economist and Navalny associate Maxim Mironov. After a thorough analysis, The Insider concludes with the highest confidence that the correspondence in question is authentic.

T A G : FIND THE WORD

Jumping in the open tag from @oh-no-another-idea. Thanks for leaving the tag open! 😊

The words they've given are: raven, wound, travel, and hand.

RAVEN

I... I don't think I've ever used... this word in my writing? I'm so confused; how can that be??

That being said, I have used ravenous, so that's what I'll substitute it with. Here's a little excerpt from An Entity In Your Midst, my standalone horror that I've been working on for centuries:

Being in school was a welcome change, especially with what had been happening at home. She’d begun to question her own sanity, and when her mother had suggested that she stay home for yet another day, Anya had put her foot down. She didn’t tell anyone about it, not even her best friend Daria, who’d tried to get her attention all throughout first period. She couldn’t avoid her forever, though, and at the end of second period, when lunch had finally come around, Daria pulled her back while the class shuffled out, ravenous and loud.

WOUND

Since I've already gotten us started with An Entity In Your Midst, why not continue? :D

An excerpt from Agafiya's journal:

Ilya refuses to tell me what he and Sergei saw that night. He came back covered in scratches and mud and bruises and a broken arm – and even then, he still held his rifle with a death-grip, and his eyes were wide and wild. When I saw him like that, for a moment I feared he was on of them, come for us. But then he dropped to his knees and fell forward, unconscious with what I think was both exhaustion and shock. Maria and I did our best to treat his wounds, but I fear it is the mental wounds that will need the most time to heal.

TRAVEL

This game has me reading back over AEIYM and I LOVE ALL OF IT. (Where's the rest of it??? Why is it not finished??????) No wonder I was obsessed with this wip for a little while.

When he had heard about his dear friend Mikhail Volkov and his charming family, he felt the pain in his bones. What misfortune had befallen them had been unexpected and terrifying. Nobody could explain what had happened to them, only a handful of days after he had traveled down there to check on young Fyodora.

For reference:

Mikhael Volkov OC intro

Fyodora Volkov OC intro

HAND

So many to choose from for this one, but I decided on this excerpt:

“Please keep this between us,” Mrs. Volkov said. “She’s been very ill. She’s not herself.” “She’s another person entirely,” Nina grumbled, shaking her head. She was still waiting for her heartbeat to slow down. She became aware of Mrs. Volkov’s hand, still holding her shoulder in a firm grip, and stepped back, opening the front door. “It’s been very difficult for all of us.” Mrs. Volkov held a knowing look, but there was fright etched onto her face, and it unsettled the young girl. “I have to go,” Nina whispered, backing out of the door. “My parents expect me home. I have to go.” And with that, she turned and ran.

I'm going to tag a few peeps for this one, but please feel free to ignore! @dyrewrites @leave-her-a-tome @contes-de-rheio @scribble-dee-vee @akindofmagictoo @wiredhouse

Your words, should you accept the challenge, are: night, touch, window, and weight.

Hannibal Headcanons

Author's Note: I got bored, so I decided to come up with some headcanons. I hope you like them. If you do, I'll write up some more in the future.

This is only part one. There will be more coming soon.

Masterlist

Other Stuff I have written: Link

General

1. Marianna [The female reader] grew up in a rather wealthy family, the second eldest of four children. Often left in the care of nannies or staff due to her parents busy, social and political lifestyle.

2. She grew up in a rather opulent mansion, surrounded by art, history, and a collection of rare and macabre artifacts. The mansion, passed down through generations, housed a vast library that became Marianna's sanctuary and escape from the stifling social expectations of her family.

3. As a child, Marianna displayed an early fascination with the macabre and the mysterious. She was drawn to stories of mythical creatures, ancient folklore, and tales of darkness and death. This fascination led her to immerse herself in literature, studying the works of authors like H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Allan Poe, and Bram Stoker, which further fueled her interest in the unknown and the supernatural.

4. Marianna has a son, Luka Volkov, born when she was in her early twenties when she was dating Mikhail Ivanov, a renowned Russian artist. Despite their passionate relationship, they ultimately grew apart due to their conflicting personalities and ambitions. Marianna was dedicated to her studies and art, while Mikhail was often preoccupied with his own career. After their separation, Marianna took full custody of Luka, and though she adores her son, she is also fiercely protective of her independence and personal space.

5. Luka is deeply important to Marianna, and she does her best to balance her responsibilities as a mother with her own pursuits. She instills in him a love for art, literature, and critical thinking, nurturing his intellectual curiosity. Despite being emotionally reserved, Marianna cherishes the moments she spends with her son, and their bond is one of mutual understanding and respect.

6. Her second born is a girl, name Masha Volkova born in 2003, while she was in a rather brief relationship with Arthur Smith. Which made Masha is a Russian-American, born in the United States. Marianna's relationship with Arthur was passionate but short-lived, and they eventually went their separate ways. However, Marianna maintains a cordial relationship with Arthur and is actively involved in Masha's life, despite the distance between them.

7. She bought her home in Baltimore, Maryland and relocated there with her children, Luka and Masha, after accepting a position as a professor at a prestigious university. Baltimore's rich history and dark allure appealed to Marianna, making it the perfect place for her to delve into her academic pursuits while still indulging in her fascination with the mysterious and macabre.

8. Luka was initially resistant to the move, he quickly adapted to his new surroundings. He is 17 and Masha is 10 years old when the move occurred. Despite the busy schedule, she made sure to enroll Luka in a reputable school and support his interests and aspirations. Masha was still in primary school so she took on the responsibility of homeschooling her for a brief period until she found the right school for her.

9. Whenever Luka wants to have his nails painted, Marianna gladly does it for him and often stating, "Which colour did you want to go with this time?" Which is usually met with excitement from Luka, as he enjoys the bonding time with his mother. Marianna takes pride in breaking traditional gender norms and encourages her children to express themselves authentically.

10. If Luka wanted to wear a dress, she would often make sure they were custom made to fit his tastes, and would support his decision without hesitation. Marianna firmly believes that individuals should be free to express themselves and embrace their true selves, regardless of societal expectations or gender norms. No expense was ever left to ensure her children felt loved, accepted, and supported in their individuality.

Likes: Cats, working hard, collecting first edition novels, collecting vintage furniture, going to theatre performances, cooking, getting new tattoos

Dislikes:  People doubting him, liars, hot weather, dogs, his family being mistreated, the past being mentioned

_________________________________________

Backstory:

As far as Yuri could remember and recall, he rememberd very little of his mother before she left Russia for good. He grew up with only his father by his side. He had a isolated childhood, spending most of his life in hiding due to his father's crimes. And also because of Mikhail's underground business fell apart in the process.

With no other family members, the only kind of family he had was his father and close friends of his.

At first for Yuri it was lonely but he quickly grew used to the feeling, sometimes he asked about his mother, where she went, vice versa. But when his father gave no answer he eventually stopped asking.

Yuri was homeschooled throughout his childhood, a good student, finishing his studies early he went out to find work at the ahe of 16. Working here and there just to make up some money, from the moment he turned 18... What was left of Mikhail's business was inherited to him, and for the better. Yuri changed it for the better.

Yuri actually valued his life, with the money that was given to him. He cleared all dirt on the family name, and pledged to do good rather than bad. He didn't want history to repeat itself, like what it came to his father.

Asides from working, Yuri is laid back, wanting to catch up on things he missed out on. He also loves Cats, he has a Russian blue cat named Maxim.

Around 1970 he easily tracked down his mother Anja, the two reunited. At first he was hesitant and a but reserved. But over time his guard came down.

By 1981 his business was still progressing perfectly, giving weapons to the right people than for bad intentions. After the death of Volkov, Yuri housed his mother, and his step siblings.

One of Yuri's talents is that he can memorise his favourite book from heart, his favourite book is The Brothers Karamazov.

Despite the tensions of the Cold War, Yuri does love some Western cars outside of Russia.

BIO- ( TW: IMPLIED CHILD ABUSE AND MENTIONS OF DEATH AND MURDER )

death was a part of mikhail’s life from a young age, he never knew his mother, but his father was the leader of a group of assassins. and when he looked at his son, he saw only opportunity.

leo volkov viewed his only child as a weapon, training him from a young age to be a skilled killer. failure was met with cruel punishment and from a young age, mikhail became very familiar with the concept of pain.

as the child grew into a young man, his skill grew. as did his own hatred towards his father for what he was turning him into. but then, something changed. there was a kindness from his father that wasn’t there before, and for a time, mikhail thought that perhaps there was a chance for a new start.

introducing his son to a young woman named marina, mikhail found himself falling head over heels for her. they spent a lot of time together, and after a couple of years, mikhail even planned to propose. but he had no idea that this was all part of his father’s cruelest plan.

marina was a mark–set to die at the hands of one of the group’s assassins, and leo knew this would be the perfect opportunity to test his son’s resolve. so, he gave mikhail an ultimatum. carry out the contract, or the assassins would kill them both. the kindest mercy that mikahil was able to give marina was a quick death.

he did not offer the same mercy to his father.

with leo out of the picture, mikhail took his father’s place in the group. while there are rumors that mikhail might have been responsible for leo’s death, there’s no proof. 

something about marina’s death broke something in him, the world a crueler place after what he had done. any remorse he previously found in killing was absent.

several years ago, a contract crossed his desk that caught the attention of every assassin in his group-someone wanted king lucien dead. and who better to send than their leader?

but not every job goes off smoothly. and luck finally caught up with mikhail when his attempt on the king's life failed. while he was not caught-he knew one undeniable truth-even as their leader, he could not go back to his group having failed.

so instead, mikhail sought employment with his mark-proving his worth and becoming the master assassin of transvania. it paid better, but the more useful perk was that he was untouchable to those he had led previously.

while he harbors no ill-will towards the king-after all, that job was just business-he is not the greatest fan of the man. but as long as gold ends up in his pockets? mikhail remains loyal.
