#OOF alright then!!

youxmove asked:

“What was Bucky like?”  (I needed to punch someone in the feels. Sorry Steve).

     It’s an inevitability, he supposes, that in sharing life details and the little things that made them them this would be a topic broached. He’d had so little to share from youth to semi-adulthood simply because he hadn’t lived it to the extent of those he grew up with. But he had lived. He’d witnessed horrors no child should have ever had to endure and it had only been up till now that he’d realized he’d been dancing around the worst of it. Glorifying the neighborhood he grew up in with the innocence of a child’s eyes. Cutting out the parts no one wants to remember left him with a narrow path of conversation.

     Bucky...

     Bucky had made up the majority of his best childhood memories. It was a disservice to avoid mentioning him but that part...that part he’d had to keep to himself. Guard it like something sacred. But she was earnest and something about her had always felt familiar enough. Disarming, charming, like he could confide in her in the late of night when he couldn’t sleep.

     “You want another beer? Hold on, lemme get one.” He needs the short walk to her fridge to compose himself, figure it out. Put the pieces back into place and decide if he should divulge the most personal of places.

     When he returns he sets her beer down on the coaster, cap already popped and resting against the rim of the glass and he sinks back, nursing his new one too.

     “He uh..” Deep breath, Steve. She’s safe. Her whole body’s turned, half curled up in her space on the couch and she’s got her head in the palm of a hand, elbow resting on the back of the couch and it sings at ease. Interested but comfortable. The corner of his lips twitches upwards as he glances at her, stares at the freshly polished natural color making her nail beds glimmer in the dull interior lighting.

     “Everyone thinks I’m...” That sounds arrogant and it tastes bad on the tip of his tongue and his lips purse briefly around it but he shakes his head and continues on. “But he... He was the one who dragged me up out of the dirt. Took care of me when my mother couldn’t. At my bedside when I was too sick to even sit up. You’d think...ha. You’d think he was born to it. Lookin’ after someone like me.”

     His fingers pace around the girth of the bottle and he takes another long gulp and likes the way it fizzles out into the taste of hops. He just wishes he could get a buzz.

     “And y’know...he was real popular. The pretty kind everyone wanted to be associated with, whip smart and never let anyone tell him he couldn’t do somethin’. I was always so amazed throughout the years that here he was, makin’ sure I was a part of whatever it was he was doing even if no one invited me. He never...” Steve has to clear his throat there’s something rising up that feels like a downward spiral into loss and he tosses back another quick mouthful.

     “He was the kinda guy that rooted for the underdog. He was a better man than even me. Probably the reason why I made it as long as I did if I’m honest. But he was huge nerd, always loved Howard Stark’s displays at the expo, always raving about the future n’ technology.” He grimaces, that bright goofy over-the-moon smile shot over his shoulder as Stark unveiled the hovercar.

     “Even when they made me Captain America, even when I outranked him without all that effort he had put into becoming Sergeant, even when everyone hailed me a hero for doing what I knew he’d do for me...all he did was stand beside me. That dynamic shift...any other man I knew would’ve resented me. Hated me, even. Bucky wasn’t that kinda guy. He’d be whatever you needed.” The bottle whines in his grip, a hairline fracture spreading where his fingers put pressure and he blinks, takes the last few gulps and sets it down on the table.

     “Sorry I...I don’t really get to talk about him a lot he.. You’d have really liked him.”

Got myself some new magnets to stick to the side of my pc 😊

The cutout Jamils from @artsyco3xist (shop here) have been there for some time now, and today I got the square magnets by @mintmoth (shop here).

Malleus pin is by its.badradish (etsy here).

And there's still plenty of space (and some designs I've been eyeing up) so I'm sure I'll be adding to this over time.

Another of his victims was Lepidus, that lover and favourite of his, the husband of Drusilla, the man who had together with Gaius maintained improper relations with the emperor's other sisters, Agrippina and Julia, the man whom he had allowed to stand for office five years earlier than was permitted by law and whom he kept declaring he would leave as his successor to the throne.

-Cassius Dio 59.22

everyone talks about the incest allegations, but surprising no one: the brother in law allegations are more fun to me

some commentary on the death of Lepidus

The Roman Emperor Gaius 'Caligula' and his Hellenistic Aspirations, Dr. Geoff W. Adams

usually my Caligula design is a remix of my Octavian design with darker hair, but for this I decided he should be his own person

I'm not into cucking/cheating at all, but with how cruel Doflamingo can be, it's definitely on the menu. For more context, see the family pet posts on my One Piece masterlist

tw. dehumanization, weird pet play metaphors, very unreliable narrator, minors dni

Although using the term 'cucking' is a reach, considering that you're just the family pet. You were never brought into this to gain him more than some lukewarm entertainment, weren't meant to do anything more than to waltz around and get trained, to amuse him and learn to love him unconditionally. (Although that part has been rather difficult to achieve, but he has resigned himself to it. Just like an ill-tempered little purse dog, you're cute when you're angry, when you gnash your blunt teeth at him and try to scratch at his chest when you don't want to be carried around anymore. Just a tiny apex predator thinking they have a chance against the other, bigger carnivore.) You're a living decoration, one with a personality. You'll be with him until either one of you dies, that's the commitment a pet requires and he'll gladly provide. But it ends there. How dare you pout when he surrounds himself with women, when he gets to rest on his laurels a little. How dare you scratch at the door when he's trying to fuck one, how dare you chew up their expensive purses when you finally give up and resign yourself to your fate. He'll have to lock you away if this continues, because you're gaining a little bit of a reputation and it doesn't do him any favors. He kicks you off his leg when you try it again, ignores the stunned woman right next to him that you were just interrupting with your yowling and asks you what your problem is. You at least have the decency to duck your head and look ashamed - and it finally clicks when you shuffle right back to that very leg that hauled you across the room. Oh, that's cute. Where did you get that sense of entitlement from, mutt? He says while he picks you up by the scruff of your neck. Do I look like I fuck my dog? Of course he has to train that attitude out of you, and quickly at that. A little time on your own in your crate does the trick. He gets to indulge freely and you get to learn something. Maybe he should consider getting you a companion, after all. Then again, that's also double the work. But really, haste makes waste and it's not like he has to decide right now. He tries to look at it from a brighter side as well: You've finally found some love for him within you, after all these years. It's a little misplaced for someone in your position but he can't help but be pleased with himself when he realizes how far you've come - from flea-ridden stray to spoiled little pet, jealous of him giving his rapt attentions to others.

What if Higuchi's car had burned up during the chase? They managed to corner Higuchi and drag him out. But behind him, the car set itself on fire. Then exploded ✨

People get injured but are still alive. They have proof Higuchi is Kira so he's convicted. But the mystery of Kira and if Light was ever Kira still remains.

Bonus: no extra rules from the Death Note for the handcuffs to ever get off.

Lawlight just stay handcuffed. Forever 💖

I do think stuff supposedly supportive of short men is wild cuz I'm not even trying to be a man but seeing that 5'6 is supposedly short and itty bitty for a dude still hurts a little

[avalonianrising]

are there any notable rivalries in your lore?

OH BOY, YEAH. In the Clan in the Mists alone, Nemesis, Vasilios, and Ruin are all embroiled in a pretty bitter history.

Ruin is a being of Shade that used to inhabit Nemesis, making him do all sorts of things he absolutely didn't want to do. This is how he met Vasilios, who wormed his way into the Clan by stating that Valdis was his Charge. (She actually wasn't at all, but Grimshaw was!)

Nemesis was good at hiding his infection for a long, long time--which is how he met Elethea. (That's my Shadow Rep!) She brought him into the clan with the intent of having him be the Shadow Commander (basically responsible for heading to Shadow territory in times of need to bolster forces!). That obvious was a bad mistake, as he smuggled in Tzila with the intent to completely take over the clan.

Meanwhile, Vasilios intended to make Sovereigns from the children he'd planned to make with Valdis. (Think Emperors--but they would have been either Ridgebacks or Guardians!) That plan went to pot when she became pregnant with another clan-mate's children--and the race was on for her to have them and get them the hell out before Vasilios could get his claws on them. With him reigning over poor Teivel, it could have been equally worse--if not more so. Grimshaw was a COMPLETELY unwilling accomplice in all of this, managing to warn everyone just in time.

It ended up with Vasilios dying, his spirit sealed away beside his skeleton deep in the clan's territory. He's still there, waiting...watching...and Ruin knows this all too well. But luckily, the clan has some INCREDIBLE dragons with the power to keep him sealed away. Not that Ruin makes it easy for them, the little pest.

And THAT is the most notable rivalry, for sure! I've got more, but I'd definitely put those in another post. :D
