thinking about a whumpee on a forced march through rough terrain
hands tied in front of them, on foot while their captors are mounted, sleeping out in the open, forced to beg for adequate food and water
maybe they're barefoot, a captured royal in silken robes
maybe they're in a torn suit or soldier's uniform
maybe they were stripped at the start, increasing the exposure to the elements, the humiliation
are they a terrified mess from the beginning, or do they try to endure with dignity? how long before they're stumbling, barely putting one foot in front of the other? how long before they fall?
#im particularly thinking about a notorious captain or other commanding officer tbh#his enemies have faced defeat after defeat at his hands and now that they have him they want to make him suffer#they need to travel through the mountains to reach their capitol and -of course- they make him walk the whole way#but then someone suggests taking his boots and someone else suggests stripping him naked#they can't let him -die- before he can be paraded through the streets but they'll get him as close as they can#whump#whump prompt#captive#taken prisoner#forced nudity#nonsexual nudity#military whump#fantasy whump#this also randomly made me think of one of my ye olde whump scenarios#where a small regiment ends up surrounded by the enemy and thwir captain is doing his damndest to keep his men alive#and work out a strategy to retreat#but then the enemy soldiers offer to let the rest go if they turn over their leader and they do without a second thought#so not only is he captured he's also been betrayed and is just trying to keep it together emotionally#to do list#this would also be fun with sahota or any of the crew

another little lore tidbit: the central kingdoms military is called the "capitol guard," and the m-34th is just one of the probably hundreds of military regiments within it. they all have the same general look/structure to their uniforms (including the color), but only the emblem on the hats and badge thing changes
the m-34th is supposed to be, for the most part, out of the public knowledge, or at least blended into to other capitol guard officers. so youd see a lot of soldiers walking around the capitol but unless youre close enough to see the emblem you dont actually know what regiment theyre from (and 99% of the public doesnt know what any of the emblems even mean, so unless youre a witch you wouldnt be able to pick out an m-34th person until theyre close enough)
the idea is that since there's a lot of magic-erasure in society and witches just blend in, these guys are supposed to as well. so youd see an officer in a white uniform visiting some local business somewhere, and youd think "Oh they're getting lunch." and they MIGHT be, but also it could be one of those witch check-ups kind of thing.
also good for doing missions since theres capitol guard outposts in a lot of cities and towns, so if they needed to dispatch an m-34th officer specially to somewhere outside the central kingdom it wouldnt necessarily raise a lot of eyebrows from the locals or hint at some kind of magic-going-on's in any way
#text#bpp#lore#imagine being a witch.......scary...#walking around the capitol and any one of these assholes could be one of them#but a witch gets nervous if anyone in a capitol guard uniform comes to their houses or stores#and you have that mini heart attack before you see theyre from a different regiment#side note: other regiments dont work as an extension of the m-34th cuz they dont have the res or training to detect witches#they can certainly report to the m-34th if they find anything but its usually so much easier to decieve other regiments#just slap an illusion spell on them and youre good#or be normal and they wont suspect shit

I keep getting this one attack ad on youtube that’s like “Tammy Baldwin is for they/them, not us” and I’m like Eric you don’t have to sell it to me
#she’s awful in some ways for sure. obviously leagues better than the alternative but like#eugh#still feels gross voting for someone who gets so much support from aipac#and like I’m gonna be real#supporting the governor vetoing a ban on gender affirming care is good ofc but like. her own work w queer shit is basically just#‘yeah your gay marriage is still valid in Wisconsin’#like cmon Tammy I thought you were for they/them#she wasn’t involved but I’m thinking now about at least one of those bills that I went to the public hearing for#wore my trans flag as a cape lmao#a guy did come into the Capitol with a loaded gun while it was happening so that was terrifying#idk man.#thinking in particular about one kid on puberty blockers who kept getting interrupted and he was so fucking brave#I hate that a middle schooler has to be so fucking brave#he should’ve been in school he shouldn’t have been fighting for this#thinking about another person who came up and silently did their t injection and then shrugged and was like ‘that’s it’ and walked out#ugh I hate this state I hate this state I hate this state#I hate that even Madison is still so conservative under the liberal veneer#there is compassion in the community but I am not really a part of it#I am excited to get back to Vermont idk#not to my parents’ house necessarily lmao. but I love Vermont a lot#I just. don’t want to be afraid. I don’t want the people I love to be afraid.

@deathprcud ( sella ! ) liked for a starter !
❛ how do you do it ? ❜
abilene's voice was quiet , but the world around them was so quiet that she felt as though she was shouting . she'd never seen the capitol like this the city was silent . she wondered how bizarre it was for them , for people who seemed to have never known what true silence was like . . . was it frightening for them ? were they looking over their shoulders every moment ?
abilene reached up to wipe at her cheek . her eyes were red and she kept her gaze on the floor of the rooftop dome . they weren't allowed on the rooftop of the tribute center anymore , save the dome beside the elevators , and only when they were under strict watch by peacekeepers . perhaps , with the lack of power after the dams were destroyed , there wasn't a forcefield to catch them and throw them back anymore .
❛ keep getting up every day like everything is normal ? ❜ her mind wandered to angus , but she couldn't let it linger on her younger brother or else she'd be inconsolable .
#deathprcud#⋮ ❛ the devil walks among us friends i know this is true . › ( v : the capitol )#[ hi i made a new verse where abi's one of the victors that was taken to the capitol vs 13 ]#[ and i figured that'd be a good place to start but lmk if you want anything else!! :) ]#[ also thank you for saving me from the horrid memories of the stink bug ]

Aro working retail culture is resisting the urge to commit a felony /hj
.
#Anonymous#aro culture is#aro#aromantic#actually aro#actually aromantic#ask#mod phoenix#same from a fellow service industry person#today at my workplace - across the street from a state capitol - we discovered it was a major meeting day for a lot of legislative bodies#because we are a coffeeshop. and do u know how fucking terrible it is to have a fucking sea of politicians staring at u from the line#in a *swing-state* with R legislators#so many of them acted like it pained them to have to interact with me and/or our shop#especially the white 30-something dudes who probably passed at least hmmm 5 homeless people walking to our shop#and despite being a white bougie kinda place we have an open door policy for said homeless to come in and warm up / freely use our bathroom#so i also got to see a lot of fun expressions when they'd suddenly realize there was someone sleeping in a corner quietly#wish i could have kicked several of these dudes where it hurts#there was also one person who i'd bet money was a dem and had the gay voice but was like. still a self-important white dude that somehow#found a way to be both friendly and clearly looking down on me#just. service workers :handshake: desire to commit a fucking felony#also quick pro-tip from ur local coffee-shop workers: if you are upset that we double-cup or use hot sleeves for ur coffee/tea cups#consider: don't! we are also handling them. the individual use of the plastic involved is something you should take up with corporate#not the workers who like to not get burned#such as me :) who got burned :) because the very fresh pot of coffee was hot and the cup wasn't as stable as usual and crumpled :)#and spilled coffee on me :)#at a fresh probable-205F temp#(not a bad burn - thankfully it wasn't much#just a lil redness#tbh the hot water for tea and americanos is so much more dangerous#since that's coming directly at 205 degrees out of the spout and possibly onto our hands (it sputters / leaks sometimes)

I just rewatched the ballad of songbirds and snakes and it truly is one of my favourite films of all time.
#the ending#!!!#omg#the best scene ever#coriolanus walking through the capitol while it snows#the music#and “it's the things we love most that destroy us”#can't catch me now playing#it's so powerful#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the hunger games#suzanne collins#coriolanus snow

-Patrick"
( Slipped into María's hands along with a fancy hairpiece via an avox. )
"68 needs to be bidded on for the highest price. The minister of transportation has been looking her way a bit too much...had to divert his attention three times already."
( Exchanged discreetly while in passing by Van. )

Everyone thinks I’m just this little nice girl like my ancestors aren’t from Mexico City!?
#the amount of intergenerational trauma I’ve inherited must be insane bc I felt like I was dying 24/7 up until like 2 months ago when I#learned how to heal my nervous system loll#idk what happened in my lineage but I have a whole lot of rage so it can’t be good lmao#everywhere you go in Mexico City you’re standing on the ruins of Aztec temples that the Spanish built over#that city is the embodiment of colonization and trauma lol#I guess that’s what I feel so weird about Mexico City becoming a fun tourist spot for white Americans#bc there’s no acknowledgment of the history of colonialism and slavery and violence that had made the city what it is today#let alone the experiences of people who live there now who are experiencing poverty and gentrification and neocolonialism by the US#I’ve been visiting Mexico City since I was a kid bc my grandma lives there but I never fully understood the history of the city#until I went to the downtown area where the famous church is and walked over the ruins of the temples that peek out as you walk#in the capitol building reminding you of the indigenous communities that were decimated to create everything you see in front of you#it’s a surreal feeling that I’ll never get over#personal
