2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past turns 10 today. Feel old yet ?

[feybeasts]

Oh, what’s that, artist on Tumblr? Your character is fae and peculiar, or a beastman, or some sort of nature spirit? They have animal motifs? Oh, no, wait, they ARE an animal! Oh, and they have a bipedal form-

HEY

You put down that pen! I see you starting to draw a Conventionally Attractive Human Man! Don’t you dare, that’s the devil talking to you!

“oh but he’s gonna have funky eyes/a tail/ears/pointy teeth” you erase that damn sketch RIGHT NOW, and you draw that man as an anthro!

“oh oh but i don’t want people to think i’m a furry”

IT IS 2024! The world is chaos! Conventional rules are a sham! You make that hot fae a furry RIGHT NOW, or so help me, I’m taking away your pen!

[this-is-chaos-magick]

I really wish we saw more of Pietro....I know it sounds impossible....but maybe a flashback from Ultron in Vision quest or maybe... just maybe they would finally revive him....like they have the rights to his character now

yes they shouldn't have killed him but they don't have a choice really... since Fox at that moment own the rights to Quicksilver...well it's Pietro or wanda and they choose him:(

My Sweet Fox

Fox! Rook Hunt x Reader

He does NOT want to tell you he's a fox beastman. He's managed to cleverly hide it with potions and disguises for years, but he's gotten too comfortable with you. You're cuddling late into the night, and before you know it, his transformation potion has worn off, and he's fast asleep.

Not a fun explanation honestly, Rook never thought he'd have to tell you.

However, once you're both calmed down, you begin touching his fur.

He loves being touched anywhere on his tail, and is ok with head scritches. As long as nothing is obstructing his keen senses, you can do practically anything to him.

When you kiss you get whiskers brushing against your face.

Rook's tendency to cuddle to sleep comes out. Like true foxes, fox beastmen also enjoy group cuddles. He will entwine his tail around your torso, arms, or anything within reach, even if it is vaguely limiting to your function.

Do NOT grab him by the tail, even playfully. While it may not harm him, it is considered a serious form of disrespect between foxmen. His tail is only to be touched by his beloved, and handled with care. Do not touch with mischief in mind, you'll get a sad, snappy Rook who doesn't want to talk.

Expects kits/cubs: yes, he wants lots and lots of kits. He may bring home orphans. If you notice him talking an awful lot about making a 'den', call the nearby orphanages and ask to blacklist him.

His canines are SHARP. His dental structure is highly altered for a fox's diet. Another Do Not Touch, but for the practical reason of not wanting to be harmed more than anything else.

Enjoy fox play time. He has energy to burn. Hikes, archery competitions, random jogs chases through the woods, etc. You may even be roped into ballet sessions-- which will be lovingly spent defending yourself from getting smacked in the face with his tail the entire time. Most activities end in aggressive cuddle time.

His tail is thicker in the winter, and thinner in the summer months. Assuming that you can convince him to show you his foxman form more than the one initial time, you'll enjoy getting to see this evolutionary change at least once.

And one more tip? Don't agree to write a paper on Foxmen assuming you can get a primary source. Every question is answered with a wink, a 'perhaps', and a swish of his tail.

✰ musings ✰ connections ✰

Micah James Foxmen was born April 4th 2008 in Salem Virginia. Growing up, he was raised in a lower middle class household to father Amos Foxmen and his mother Naomi Foxmen. A few years after Micah was born, his parents split and Micah stayed with his mother in Salem. It was rare for Micah to see his mother, as she was working two jobs trying to keep the two of them afloat. Micah often took advantage of how often his mother was gone, and got into a lot of trouble in his adolescence, mostly petty crimes and just being a general nuisance to the city folk of Salem. Micah eventually graduated and found himself making friends with the local junkies and drug dealers. He began stealing and breaking into homes as a way to make money, selling the things he found as a way to get high.

Micah growing up averting the law had done pretty good at laying low up until he turned 25 when he was caught breaking into a home and arrested. Micah was sentenced to 5 years in prison for his crimes and was hauled off to Pocahontas Correctional Center. He lived out his prison sentence, hoping to get out early on good behavior when the news flashed across the screen of the virus outbreak. Panic was spread throughout the prison but the warden quickly locked everything down. Now Micah and the other prisoners were forced to stay in their cells all day, everyday. No one was quite sure how it started, but even the prison couldn’t escape the virus, with many outbreaks spreading through the staff and prisoners like wildfire. Eventually the prison lost power, and those yet to be affected by the virus made a break for the outside.

Micah managed to make a break for it, immediately heading to his home in Salem to check on his mother. Unfortunately Micah was too late, his family home was wrecked, windows were smashed and their personally belongings had been thrown around the home. His mother had passed, not from the virus but Micah could only assume from who ever it was that raided their home. Micah grabbed whatever was left that he could carry and hotwired a neighbors car, heading for Charleston West Virginia. Micah was able to find a small group out in Charleston, with whom he lived with until 2040. Supplies were low, and so were members of their small community, other than Micah there were only 3 others. One of the members had caught wind of a town called Redwood. Desperate for supplies the group made their way in to Redwood.

Headcanons

1. Micah’s trailer was actually apart of the junkyard, when he first came to Redwood, but as electrical engineering is his hobby, he has slowly turned the trailer into somewhat functional. 

2. Micah has little to no regard for his own life or safety, and will use that disregard to protect anyone he trusts even if that means of protecting are life threatening 

3. He has tried really hard to shake his kleptomaniac ways, but still finds himself swiping small things from town here and there 

4. Micah keeps a small hemp plant growing in his trailer, and treats it like it is his own child

Logan(2017): The Power of The Big Swing

Logan is the type of movie Marvel will never make. Moreover, it’s the type of movie they’re fundamentally incapable of making.

Logan was a risk, even after Deadpool. Deadpool was a crass comedy, but it was a character that hadn’t yet become popular in movies, but Logan? Hugh Jackman was their star. It’s precisely the reason Origins was such a tonal mess, the producers wanted their star to help introduce new spinoffs, while Hugh Jackman wanted to make a darker Logan, the way his solo comics introduced a darker, more violent side of a character that was often toned down for his team appearances. The Wolverine was darker but still aimed to be part of the X-Men universe, as evidenced by the absolute worst mid-credits sequence in modern cinema.

This movie, by contrast, does it’s best to distance itself from the established X-Men universe. Xavier is far removed from the bespoke tailored suits and palatial mansion that surrounded him for many of the previous films. Wolverine is playing chauffeur to bridesmaids and getting scammed on medication, and Caliban is there mostly to take joy in the misery. I described this to a coworker at the time as, “great, but the first half-hour is just people yelling at each other.” If you’re going to show a guy seeking redemption, it makes sense to show him at his lowest first.

X-23 is one of my favorite characters and I remember they did a good job of depicting her. Unlike the irascible but generally likable hero Jackman portrayed, we get X-23, younger and angrier. It works for the movie, and feeds into the idea that to be redeemed, first you have to have somewhere to climb.

I don’t remember much of Pierce, but i do remember X-24, something I believe to be a creation for this movie. In x-23′s origin story, the idea was that the Y-chromosome was damaged, only allowing them to clone Logan as a female. But here, we get Logan fighting Logan which is a a literal way of depicting his own inner struggle. This is a good comic book movie, but it’s still a comic book movie. Sometimes things have to be spelled out with punches.

I have other thoughts on this movie but I’ll save them for post viewing. Right now I just want to watch Old Cowboy Logan jam three claws into a dude’s skull and them scream at his mentor for five minutes.

Kitsune Rook Hunt

While he may appear as a normal fox beastman in public, you meet him by discovering him at his most vulnerable point-- in between transformation from a regular foxman into a beautiful, legendary kitsune.

It's a night you'll never forget. Sometimes you're convinced that he revealed himself to you on purpose simply so that he could make the excuse that you had to be his now.

Oh how he loves loves lovesss pets and pats and if you wanted to brush his tails or maybe just tousle the fur that would be great, thank you--

Touch is everything to him. If you sit beside him for a spell you have made a mistake, because now you're all wrapped up in nine bushy tails and two great strong arms. He does nothing but nuzzle you if you get even remotely close to him.

I hope you're not allergic to fox fur.

He may or may not suggest he's already built it so you better accept building a den for you if you're far enough in the relationship two weeks it's been two weeks. You may think that it'll be your average fox den nestled in a muddy hole in the ground, but you could not be more wrong. Unbeknownst to most people, foxmen and kitsune folk alike are expert builders of log cabins they consider the modern counterparts of their closely related fox dens.

It's got everything

Two-story ceilings in the living room, 5 bedrooms, a beautifully equipped kitchen and cinema room... and let's not forget the sauna room in the basement. Yeah, Rook, a 'den'.

Apparently, Rook is a master builder. You're tempted to ask him if all kitsune do this but you're not sure you're ready to be blown away by the answer.

Overall you will be isolated from the outside world. Rook has found the one he loves, and he wants to be himself around you. The more time passes the less and less you will be able to convince him to take a transformation potion and venture out into town. Rook is content with your nature-filled, person-devoid life, and he hopes you are too.

Yeti Rook Hunt

So much for a peaceful exploration of the woods on a snowy day.

If you had known a walk in the forest would lead to the untimely and wholly accidental meeting of a half-human, half-yeti creature that seemed to adore you with all of his heart and by that I mean refuses to stop crooning over how taken with you he is and how it's love at first sight, just like he's seen on TV! you might honestly have turned around and gone back home.

Your meeting is... fun. Being lovingly greeted by a 7-foot-tall, fur covered monster in ill-fitting clothes is a lot to process-- first to admit to yourself that such things are real altogether-- and that this one is in love with you.

He asks you to come back to his cave-- and no matter how much you decline, he will always pop up in your life somehow again to invite you as soon as you say no to the previous invitation.

When you finally do go to visit him, you are immediately pulled into cuddles and kisses. This is how you discovered that the only socialization Rook has been given was through TV.... and pushy romance tropes do tend to make their rounds on a good number of shows.

Rook knows nothing about his own species. What you're seeing and feeling is exactly the extent that he knows about himself. He feels that he is human mentally even though he knows that physically he isn't.

Once you lean into him and his company, you will get unfiltered touch to his long, soft fur, and you will be able to intimately converse with him about what he wants in his future. Two very great perks of dating a legendary monster. And unsurprisingly, he wants you.

You will have to get used to living with him. Once you're dating, it isn't optional. Rook is insistent on being the provider, and for once you don't know if that's from TV or instinct.

His cave ahem, apologies, home is actually quite nicely kept, and oddly cozy. The occasional stalagmite encounter typically isn't awful, as the main part of the cave is comprised of solid, nice, well-furnished rock rooms. There's a deeper part of the cave system, but you aren't allowed in there, since past the liveable part Rook has made there's nothing but steep drop offs and weakened ground. Do not test that theory please.

And if you're threatened by weird cave bugs? Do not fret, they come with insurance. If Rook is home, he'll take care of the bugs. If he's out hunting? There's a nice little tightly sealed log cabin with a fireplace and a bookcase outside for you to chill in until he gets home.

It really is the life. Rook makes sure you never want for anything except fast food and all modern conveniences with the exception of cable.

Siren Rook Hunt

Man, these singers are getting too good. So good.

So very, very goo......

Hey, at least the view from the rock outcropping you're trapped on is nice.

Rook is sweet and charming, but you can't really get past the fact that he decided to sing you into an easy kidnapping over just asking you to dinner. He insists that these days, kidnapping is cheaper than going out for dinner, and you hate to admit that he is correct.

Your days are spent watching Rook be a one-man show in performing his favorite operas for you with a little break every few lines so you don't slip into siren-song induced madness and basking on the shore of the small rock island you live on.

Sometimes he brings you back fabric or paper or something to be creative with, but oftentimes he prefers just to spend as much time with you as possible and talk and talk and talk and talk and... well, he's quite chatty. It does entertain you thoroughly.

All of your basic needs are taken care of but Rook does not fully understand the human need for stimulation and outside of chatting with him and sleeping, there's not much for you to do.

If he really wants you to spend your life with him you are tasked with convincing him to buy a house on the shore, so both of your habitat needs are fully met.

After that, things go smoothly. Rook is very convincingly human and you don't have many differences between you. Rook is dedicated to you, and you are dedicated to him.

Men In Black Rook Hunt

Your meeting was your own fault. You had seen an alien, and you were raising hell about it.

Unfortunately, you couldn't just get a normal interrogator. No, you got the self-proclaimed 'investigator of all things eerie', Rook Hunt.

To say he was ecstatic to interview you was an understatement. He seemed more interested in your personal life than he did the actual incident you'd assumed he'd be investigating.

After that interrogation, your fuzzy memories aided you in spotting him following you around town.

When you finally got around to an actual date with him, he was already planning your future on the first conversation of the night.

You knew you were stuck with him then and there.

MIB!Rook has no interest in marriage, for whatever reason. However, you are undeniably his lifetime partner and he loves you more than life. He is often out on jobs... or whatever it is he does for work (you will NEVER know, he's trying to protect you from the truth).

When he's home, he studies you intensely. Rook does not seem fully human to you (something else he hides from you) and his behaviors tend to mimic you with the exception of his unending, incessant French vocabulary. That came pre-eqipped.

Overall, Rook is secretive, but he only wants the best for you... whatever that means to him.

Side note I've actually seen a UFO and documented evidence of it. Does anyone want that story? It actually inspired this lol

Alien Rook Hunt

Learning that aliens exist is fun. Learning that one is stalking you is infinitely worse.

Rook comes in no spacecraft, no beam of light, or fancy supernatural story. He just knocks on your door and invites himself into your home as Rook Hunt of a planet you can't pronounce.

You've known that someone was following you for several months. You weren't necessarily aware it was an inhuman man with a creepy smile who admittedly creeped around your house amd watched your every move. And didn't seem to find anything wrong with it

Have you seen those people with the letters on their backs around here?? Please tell me you haven't seen the people with the letters on their backs around here..... he means the FBI. Unfortunately, the alphabet is still eluding him.

There's a surprising amount of extraterrestrial gossip between species and planets... apparently earth has just been missing out.

Rook is actually on earth as a scholar-- with a degree in cultural studies and a focus on conversational language. So, he does what he can do best: study you, ask questions, and share his own experiences with you! Keep in mind you will have a very sad, defeated, puppy-eyed Rook if you're not keen for lengthy conversations on interstellar tradition and history

Rook likes bringing you soft things. Much like jewelry is a gift of high praise here, soft things such as blankets and warm ...jackets? Why do they have 9 arms are of equal value where he comes from.

He also enjoys taking you out for hikes. His planet boasts a very rich ecosystem, and most people go for dates exclusively in nature--- its something he's trying to bring back to you.

Your differences, while quite obvious to you, are hard to discern to Rook. So long as you entertain him, and allow him to hang around, life will go smoothly.

Ghost Rook Hunt

If you didn't want to attract the attention of the mischievous spirit of a long-dead esteemed hunter, you probably shouldn't have broken into that cabin in the woods in a far off rural town as a 'roadtrip'.

The moment you walked through the door, you knew you had gotten yourself into deeeeep trouble.

Every light was lit in a building that wasn't supposed to have power, the fireplace had been recently stoked, and there were two warm bowls of stew set at the dingy kitchen table as if it had been set for dinner.

Eerie? Yes.

Enough to keep you from dinner? No.

Somehow, your food disappeared out of your backpack Poltergeist? No, Pomefioregeist , so what else could you get this far out of town?

The food makes you dizzy, and you swear you feel the softest touch of a hand on your shoulder before you're out cold.

When you wake up, the door to the cabin is jammed. It's like a horror movie. But most horror movies don't come equipped with giddy, excited, hat-wearing full apparitions.

Rook's plan is to keep you there until you die. He says he'd have to open the door to get groceries, and then you'd leave. Not the best scenario, but, hey, you won't have to pay off your loans anymore.

When you do die, you're Rook's favorite person ever. Cuddles, kisses, the works. He takes you out to see performances that you don't even have to pay for!

Dying is very cost-efficient.

You'd never imagined that ghosts would feel solid to each other, but it was a pleasant surprise when you had your first kiss with him.

Though you two have no real possibility of a future other than floating through the 4th dimension with each other, Rook will keep your eternity filled with love and devotion.

[thebluelemontree]

I haven’t read your Shadrich essay, but did I miss something? Do you believe Shadrich is Howland Reed?

Yep. That's all explained in the essay, plus the roles of the two companions, Morgarth and Byron he brought with him to the Gates of the Moon. Let me just add this one thing about Howland Reed and GRRM because I don't think I've taken the time to jot this down on my blog. This came to my attention in the last year while I was reading some of GRRM's short stories from the 70s and 80s. Seriously, if you want to understand GRRM, read his old work and you will see many familiar names and character archetypes. They are the constellations of characters and stories he likes and has told over and over. Each time with a different twist. So in his collection called Songs of Stars and Shadows, there is a story called "The Men of Greywater Station" (1976). If you don't know, House Reed's seat is Greywater Watch, set in the dangerous swamp terrain of the Neck. The story is set on a hostile swamp planet called Greywater. In the story, there is a character named Bill Reyn, who goes on a daring solo mission to rescue the survivors of a crashed spaceship. Put a pin in that.

One of the key points in my essay, I discuss GRRM's references to a real-world medieval anthropomorphic fox character named Reynard the Fox. There's too much to get into here, but I explain the connections between "fox-faced" Ser Shadrich, Howland Reed, and Reynard the Fox in the essay. GRRM has referenced Reynard in other areas of ASOIAF and "foxmen" characters in another old story called The Stone City. The point is that they are all iterations of the folk hero, Reynard the Fox, that George made his own. It's a very old archetype he likes to dip back into. So, as I mentioned, our hero of Greywater Station is a hero named Reyn who "runs toward danger," not unlike a "mad mouse." Unfortunately, he is killed in the attempt, but he's definitely brave and bold. But wait! There's more! GRRM did not write The Men of Greywater Station alone. His co-author is his long-time close friend, Howard Waldrop. Howard and George go way back to the 1960s, when they "met" through correspondence as sci-fi fans. They didn't actually meet in person until the 1976 Kansas City Science Fiction Convention. They came up with the idea for the story over drinks at the convention hotel and got to work writing it. If you've ever had the enormous pleasure of meeting fandom friends in person, you can see why this story would be special to GRRM. There's a YT video of a Q&A with George and Howard and they are just having the best time telling stories about their heyday in the 70s and 80s. Howard is also at present, one of the few close friends from this period who is still alive. So, with all this said, I would bet real money that Howland Reed is a loving tribute to Howard Waldrop and the fond memory of writing The Men of Greywater Station together. And if that's true, then it makes sense Howland Reed will also have similarities and connections to the hero, Bill Reyn, and Reynard the Fox.
