#mildly obsessed with 'the' now

[aquitainequeen]

I was thinking about how so many of those with power and authority in the Wasteland are referred to not only by their title, but with an honorific 'the'. So we have The Immortan Joe, The Red/Great/Dark/etc Dementus, and further down there's The People Eater, The Bullet Farmer, The Organic Mechanic, The Octoboss, The History Man. Even some of Joe's trusted subordinates carry this honorific, as the first time we're introduced to Jack he's the Praetorian Jack.

Going back to Fury Road, the same goes for most of the women whom Joe kept locked up in his harem, with a little variation. The Splendid Angharad, Toast the Knowing, The Dag, Cheedo the Fragile.

All of which made me think about Furiosa, who's tried for years upon years to escape the world of the Wasteland and service to the warlords; finally both surrendering to and drawing upon what power and authority she's amassed during that service, in order to have a chance at getting her revenge. How she mutters 'Praetorian Furiosa'. And then when she's ignored, she screams

'I am the Praetorian Furiosa!!!'

Full friendshiped ma boi tonight coz he kept getting into fights with EVERYBODY in the guest room so he dropped a LOT of gifts for himself!

That's almost ridiculous. Why are you picking a fight with Malleus of all people ?! Do you have a death wish ?!

Now I just have to finish farming the awakening perfumes to uncap him. That's gonna take a while.

cw : gore, body horror, cannibalism

only slept like three hours so i'm going to try and take a nap but i need to share this before i forget: random au where everything is mostly the same except will is a little starfish boy so you could cut off his limbs and they'll just grow back after a bit. it obviously hurts immensely, but it's rather useful when it comes to fighting vicious democreatures, when he needs to fake his own death once everything's over and the town decided to blame every tragedy on "zombie boy", or when he needs to feed his recently-possessed, secretly-a-cannibal best-friend-turned-accomplice-turned-boyfriend mike

KYLE CROUSE: Here's one from Playerback 772. "Who would win in a hand-to-hand fight, Surge or Zavok?"

IAN FLYNN: I'm thinkin' Surge. Not an easy fight, mind you. I mean, Zavok can go toe-to-toe with Sonic on the regular, but Sonic will win in the end if it's just the two of them. And Surge can pretty much keep pace with Sonic, so I imagine that she could overcome Zavok. KYLE: Yeah, I don't know. I say Surge, just because I like Surge better than Zavok, but... [laughs] ...I'm biased, so... IAN: Now, if Zavok knows that she's got cybernetics, he might be able to tilt things in his favor in... horrifying ways, but if it's just like, "What is that green thing and why is she cackling and coming at me at mach one-- OH GOD!" Then, yeah. She'd stomp him eventually. Wipe her feet on his face. KYLE: Yeah. IAN: She'd win in the end. KYLE: Would she be...? She's kind of been weaker than Sonic and Metal Sonic, though. Or at least, she's been defeated by them. So... is she really on their level? IAN: Yeah, she-- in principle, it's that she lacks the experience. Like, she's got the data... KYLE: Right. IAN: ...and she has been trained, but she hasn't had any practical application outside of two fights. KYLE: Right, yeah. That's a good point. IAN: Like, sure, Starline put her through lots of horrible, horrible trials, but there's that, and then there's going up against freakin' Metal Sonic. KYLE: [chuckles] IAN: Y'know, Metal Sonic, who really can only ever be topped by Sonic. That's- that's not a... [laughs] that is not the best graduation exam for her! That's goin' from zero to sixty real darn fast. KYLE: [chuckling] Or, like, zero to three hundred. IAN: Mhm. KYLE: [laughs] Yeah, wow. That's a good point. Yeah, Zavok-- I wouldn't put Zavok on that level, nah. She could take him. Screw that guy. IAN: That's not to undersell Zavok, he is a formidable fighter, but... KYLE: Sure, I suppose... I kinda like Zavok. I like, y'know, Dapper Bowser. IAN: [chuckles]

Even the "good" cops are violating everyone's rights willy nilly, but it's worth it to watch Lee Dong Wook cowering behind Insane Mystery Motorcycle Helmet as he fights 5 men at once.

Also, every so often Lee Dong Wook stops looking tortured and perturbed and smiles and. My heart simply melts.

I have so many questions about the Fell Xenologue background, and so few answers. What was the Fell Dragon situation actually like, before Sombron took over? Presumably they had a tribe composed of different families/bloodlines, not just one lunatic and his harem, so how did he overthrow that? Was he already in some higher-status position, like being the offspring of a previous monarch? How did the mothers of his children feel about his plans, about watching them die as they were pitted against each other? Neither Nel nor Rafal ever mention their mothers, and no parental figures besides Sombron appear in the flashbacks. Did they even know who their mothers were, or were they taken away after birth and thrown into some type of mass creche, rather than receiving individual care? Were the women in competition with each other, the way the children were? Did they fight on the front lines against their enemies? Did they compete for Sombron's attention? He must have convinced the majority to willingly go along with his plans, since they outnumbered him, and dragons dgaf about gender so it's not like a man's word would carry more weight. So what goal did they think was being achieved, besides surviving for one more generation? Did any of them regret it later, or rebel? Were any still alive after Lumera sealed Sombron away, and what did they do afterwards? It doesn't seem like any took up the banner to keep fighting in his name. What happened to the other male dragons from Sombron's generation? Were a large number already killed off by the Divine Dragons, or did he get rid of them himself? Did any children that weren't Sombron's ever have a chance to exist? Did Sombron's children have any idea how their tribe lived in generations past, or were they kept ignorant? Did any of them try to bond with their mothers, or were they discouraged? Who did the daily work of raising and educating them? Did Fell Dragons always value cruelty and punish weakness to such an extreme degree, or was that Sombron's influence? Was killing their twins always considered normal, or did he pioneer that? Give me knowledge, give me lore, I need a hundred new Fell Dragon facts immediately.
