#nat you crazy

[nataliesscatorccio]

Shauna and the baby were probably both going to die. depending on your interpretation of the dream realm, maybe for a time Shauna did die. something brought her back, or kept her from staying there. but it wasn't Mari's "wilderness, I hope Shauna doesn't die" or Travis' well intended but useless blood magic (recall Lottie "can't this just be enough? please?" it was never enough) or even the baby's death covering the symbol on the blanket in blood. those are futile hopes and bargains. the baby was already doomed. and the wilderness doesn't trade, we know this. it chooses. someone has to die. it took Crystal and spared Shauna. Shauna thinks she's been snubbed by the group and by extension the wilderness when it takes Javi and Nat is crowned, but what she fails to see is that she was chosen first. she keeps being chosen! not to die, to live. Coach Martinez dying to put her oxygen mask on. Jackie dying to later feed her. the wilderness taking Crystal (where is her body? it belongs to the wilderness now) to get Shauna through a dangerous labor. Nat dying in her place as the queen of hearts twenty-five years later. maybe it always did like Nat best, but it killed for Shauna first. and it kept killing for her. for girls like Shauna (and for girls like the Wilderness) isn't that just the shape love makes? a knife wound.

i’m so obsessed with crimson (not a cringe name at all!) and logan!!!

pls tell us more about crimson and her backstory! and her mutation! thanks baby!!!

wtf oh em gee anon ofc i’d love to chat about her!

for her mutation, she’s basically a blood bender, but with some extra stuff cause i thought just blood bending was a little boring lmao. i'm not the best at explaining things, so hopefully this isn’t all over the place.

in my head, she can manipulate blood that's both inside and outside of the body. she can sort of "possess" peoples bodies by either ingesting their blood or by blood-to-blood contact. if it has a blood stream, she can take it over. it’s not only limited to just the living either, corpses that still have blood in their bodies are easiest for her to manipulate.

she refrains from ever ingesting blood in fear of looking too scary, she only learned and honed the blood-to-blood contact method working with charles and hank. she can also use her own blood (other peoples as well but once again, she doesn't really want to come off as scary) as a weapon by manipulating it into sharp objects once it's spilled.

she hardly possesses living people because it takes a huge toll on her physically and it's still a little too hard for her to execute safely.

i even toyed with the idea of her being able to like...ingest a mutants ability. not forever, but if she takes enough blood from them she can retain a watered down, weaker version of whatever ability they may have for a short period of time, but i'm not so sure about making it 'canon' in my own little universe.

one cause it’s a super similar trait to rogue and two cause i obviously want her abilities to be interesting and powerful in a way, but i don't want to make her too op or a sort of mary sue type character. it's so icky reading ocs that are written to be the strongest mutant ever that body jean and magneto and everyone else under the sun. i don't ever want to give that vibe with this lol please let me know if i do don't spare my feelings like is this cool or is it too extra...

okay so what i have in my head in terms of a backstory is very chaotic and not really fully fledged in any way shape or form! the main idea i have for her is that, as a child, she was sold to a mutant testing lab by her abusive mother. her father left right after her abilities developed, refusing to raise a mutant daughter.

i know i very ominously mentioned the “scientists” and the “experiments” in afilav sort of in passing, but just know she was a mutant before she was tested on! the experiments only affected her mutation. that’s why she reacts more aggressively or viscerally to the sight and smell of blood. however, her enhanced strength and healing are a result of her time in the lab.

anyway long story short she finally broke out of the lab when she was older and started to “work” as like a free agent for a couple years.

killed whoever wherever for whoever for lots of money. she never stayed in one place long. she liked being off the grid, mostly drifting from state to state sleeping in shelters, on park benches, in abandoned cars, but only until she was found by charles xavier.

that's really it! i'm trying to think out some more aspects of her that are only half-baked ideas so i won't bother writing them down lol thanks for the question anon! i had so much fun actually sitting down and writing this.

fyi: i'll be tagging all my content about this au and character with the tags 'to the bone au' and 'file: crimson' from this point on :)

love you!

sillay razz animation ive had in the works based on the art for paku by asmi. been enamored w the idea for nearly 2 yrs and finally hahaa haha yes sicko voice

[the-lonelyshepherd]

your thing about fanon lottienat kinda validated my theory that fanon lottienat is just jackienat but worse

OGH yeah honestly….

like. jackienat is right there. they have a shitton of parallels that are exactly what makes lottienat cool as well, just without some of it but in place you get like. actual punk and popular but also actually nuanced. because it’s an actual big part of the characters!! like the opposites factor!! idk i think jackienat should be more popular it would be cool

🔥 feel free to do this for anything but everytime I see one of your posts about jrwi I become more intrigued and nosy than anyone has ever been before

[ask game: send a 🔥 for an unpopular opinion]

i don't know how unpopular this is because i choose to not keep up with the fandom at large for my health. but! i think we gotta stop giving them credit for writing "queer narratives." i think we gotta stop calling jrwi the gay podcast. it's like. it's not. going on a stream, or a tweet, or a now-deleted discord questions channel and going "yeah sure they're gay" and then that not being reflected in the way the character is played or shown outside of a "wow isn't men kissing funny" or "hehe isn't women being attracted to each other hot" is like. incredibly hollow imo.

??????????????????

surely not. are you implying that during date plan natsume was struggling with coming up with an idea and not only went to tsumugi, a completely irrelevant third-party with probably ZERO dating experience for advice, but then used tsumugis OWN IDEAL FIRST DATE as a base to work off of rather than, oh, i dont know, GOING WITH YOUR IDEAL DATE????? WHY ARE U BASING UR DATE PLAN ON TSUMUGIS IDEAL DATE AND NOT UR OWN ARE U STUPID. ARE U GAY. my eyes must be deceiving me bc aint no way

[ariadosanon]

what are your thoughts on those (what are they called again?) nurtural shadow pokemon? And what happened to them? Nobody’s said anything about them for a few months from what I have seen at least?

Oh uh. The Natural Shadow Pokemon?… I don’t know ANYTHING ABOUT THEM! Any that I happen to own are by PURE COINCIDENCE. Or maybe ACCIDENT.

Maybe someone ELSE will make some kind of SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT about them someday. WHO KNOWS.

Playing d&d today. My character sees an old woman struggling with a cart and helps her home. Lady is clearly a witch from the contents of her house (cauldron, potions, bones, frog jar). DM asks to roll perception. Roll an 8. “You don’t notice much.” I help unload her stuff. Since I see more room, asked to roll again. Roll perception of 8. DM sweating. Old lady asks me to get her a trunk from her dark back room. Character unsuspecting while player dying inside. Enter new room, invited to roll perception. Roll an 8. Get the trunk. Pick it up. Offered a final chance to roll as I’m going back out. Roll perception. It’s an 8.

The odds of this are 1 in 160,000, or 0.0006%. I am

Anyway she was a Babayaga
