#tatiana the wolf

[lucindasthighs]

thinking about Tatiana makes me so ill she's so tragic and strong and she was never fucking mentioned again after emerald secret.

she was an organic wolf and she got FORCED into an uncomfortable, foreign human form by Micheal + ein for literally no reason (they NEVER use or bring up these body-changing forever potions again) and is stuck that way forever. She was forced to follow ein in order to protect her pack. But at the end of the day, she gets her revenge. She's the one who kills ein. And tHEN SHES FUCKING GONE NOT EVEN A MENTION NOT EVEN BY AARON AS IF HE DIDNT BEG HER FOR INFO AFYAFSOXUXO

[garbagepile]

I am making some characters the same people in my personal head rewrite for mystreet and minecraft diaries because of the amount of characters.

I either combine or replace.

Here's a list.

I love Reese but someone made of candy is too out of nowhere, even for mystreet standards. So in mystreet I might replace him with Lo instead. Lo would be a pizza delivery guy by day, and a drag queen by night. And the drag would be inspired by some sort of candy. Nana wouldn't drug him or anything but may get a crush on him (he does not return her feelings) (he is a homosexual). He is still called Lo but I may include something among the lines of "Reese" in his drag queen name.

I talked about this before; Azura and boss. Genuinely one of the most interesting and by far my favourite idea amongst these. And she deserves her own separate post.

Bodolf and Tatiana. Instead of being turned from a wolf to a human, they go from a werewolf to a human. But let me explain; during mcd times, we see most werewolves as full talking wolves instead of just having wolf ears. I headcanon that during mcd, Werewolves and Meif'wa's are way less human like. These werewolves could turn Logan by bite, but current werewolves can't. Due to extinction and so forth. They grew their population by turning humans into werewolves or dating humans, which in turn made them more and more human like by time in appearance and abilities. And Bodolf would come from a werewolf village that remained intact. I might make them trans, and include both the name Bodolf and Tatiana.

Jax and Ryder(Ein's lackeys) get replaced by Balto. I am not following the phoenix drop high plotline(hate that series), but if I ever need Ein to have some sort of person that he gets help from, it would be Balto. And I am keeping the name Balto here, Jax and Ryder get fully erased. I might take SLIGHT inspiration from their designs in Balto and Fenrir. (I am making also Balto and Fenrir friends because they sat next to eachother. But Fenrir would dislike Ein.)

Kim and Hailey. I frankly don't know much about Hailey as I haven't watched mcd season 3. I couldn't bare to watch it due to the timeskip and the absence of Vylad throwing me off, sorry. But her wiki is interesting. I like her personality, crybaby yet with a big temper is a nice combination. I will mainly use Kim's appearance(because Hailey already resembles a few characters and her hood looks a bit odd on her skin and I really like my Kim design), and Hailey's personality (with a bit of Kim in it). And Kim's mystreet role with Hailey's mcd role. I will also make Kim dye her hair a few times to include Hailey's red and purple hair. I don't know if I will call them Hailey or Kim, I might make them transfem or transmasc (like with Balto/Tatiana) as Kim is a unisex name.

Also, Maria(the werewolf) and Alex. Because Alex really has nothing going on, and it bothers me that Maria has the same name as another character and looks to much like Melissa(in my opinion). I am keeping the name Alex, because 2 Maria's make things confusing. And I am keeping a tomboy clothing style.

There was more but I forgot.

Also if I make a royal tale rewrite Garroth is keeping his og parents

And if I ever make a mermaid tales rewrite, the evil sea guy will be Gene instead.

[aphverse-confessions]

I honestly really liked Ein's character; he's probably one of my favourites. Obviously he's unwell (mentally and emotionally) and has a terrible personality, but that's how I like my characters lmfao

In PDH, Ein is a hugeee dick! From what I remember he treated Aphmau like an object for affection , validation and entitlement. He abused his position as "co-alpha" with Aphmau, and on-top of that, used her too. (Side-note: wolf packs don't have "alphas", "betas", or "omegas", that theory was disproven. Sorry to all of you Omega-verse enjoyers.) He obviously is a bully in PDH.

He's also like that in Emerald Secret but way more crazier and abusive, causing a lot of hurt mentally, emotionally and physically (maybe even spiritually??) for himself and for the other characters.

But what if he was under control in Emerald Secret? Of course, there is no way to prove this (other than when Aaron was having a PTSD episode in Starlight) but he did meet Michael, the Demon Warlock, before the events of Ein taking over Tatiana's wolfpack. Michael does have those sweet-sweet mind-controlling potions.

What if Michael used a potion on Ein and Ein's eyes changed back to silver, making him permanently under Michael's control?

Or maybe Ein's just a weird, psychopathic asshole, who can't get over the fact he was bested by the better version of him (Blaze) and got kicked by a human (Katelyn) in high school, who knows! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[logo-comics]

Katarina Termina

As promised, the AU that was inspired by THIS thread, but I'm going more in-depth on this here.

This AU is going with the idea of the Monkey Girl being reincarnated into someone who isn't integral to the plot of Fortune Lover. As I said in the linked thread, the name Katarina Termina came from my fanonical name for a rough draft of Katarina Claes being Tatiana Terni, a romanceable character borrowing the surname from @azure-wolf-227's name for the Queen's family.

Since I like that concept, I decided to not attach Katarina to that name, in order to give the harem an officially fair chance, even though my endgame is always the same ship when given the option.

The Termina Family:

Duke Odin Termina of Termina:

Portrait of a northern barbarian with fire magic. Despite Sorcier having a rather nice climate in general, his island some how manages to be permanently covered in snow, which necessitated the development of greenhouses and a massive keep that the people of his Duchy occupy. Looks much, much older than he is, and comes off as only slightly less intimidating that Luigi. Adores his family and has a love of the macabre that comes off as threatening to some. He and Luigi Claes have shared maybe ten words in court and tend to sit in the same general vicinity. He would call the man his close friend, if asked. He's also related to Miridiana through their great grandparents and knows Viscount Coleman by reputation, so he quickly figured out the Keith situation, but has never actually seen the family together, so he doesn't know about the family issues.

Duchess Tatiana Termina nee Smith:

There was quite a stir at court when Odin married his personal blacksmith, an orphan apprenticed to the blacksmith of the previous Duchess Termina, Odin's mother Belladonna (from whom he inherited his title), but they'd grown up together and fallen in love, and the northerners don't rightly care who marries whom unless agreements are being abruptly broken. Tatiana is a cheerful woman who will happily go on about how which weapons she designed are capable of doing what amount of damage to people. She also has a fondness for creating new weapons and has been working on what Bakarina would recognize as a flamethrower for years. There's a rumor in court that she's the result of one of the previous King's affairs due to her having golden hair and bright blue eyes behind her goggles, but there's no proof of that one way or another.

Katarina Termina:

Prior to Catarina Claes's accident and the subsequent scar on her forehead, Katarina Termina was one of the frontrunners for Prince Geordo's fiancee. She actually didn't have an opinion about that one way or another, being more interested in improving the greenhouses and her weapons training, as well as her interest in her mother's designs. She does have quite a fondness for sweets born from sweets being uncommon in Termina, and she doesn't have the most courtly of manners, but she was actually considered rather refined in the mead hall in Termina's Keep. She also later manages to "invent" the ice cream maker after regaining her past life memories. By sheer coincidence, she and Catarina Claes were born on the same day and look similar, save for Katarina having slightly darker hair and lighter eyes, as well as darker clothes in general and a sword that's always present on her hip. She has fairly weak fire magic, and unknowingly has moderately strong Dark Magic.

Anne Shelley:

She was sent to Termina, instead of the Claes land because Baron Shelley thought it would be best to send her somewhere that most people didn't know and also because, from an in-universe meta perspective, Katarina Termina is the cut content for Katarina Claes, so she gets the positive relationship with Anne that I give FL Katarina. Her relationship with Katarina was a slightly more professional version of her relationship with Bakarina, up until the training accident, when Katarina becomes notably more friendly and Anne winds up adapting. Her time in Termina actually let her become more of a free thinker, and Baron Shelley didn't even make it to the door of the keep before he was chased off. Despite not being related by blood, they treat her like part of the family, and, though she doesn't know it, Odin, Tatiana, and Katarina agreed that, if Katarina winds up engaged to someone who has to maintain their family title, Anne will be made the heiress to the ducal title.

The Training Accident:

During Katarina's first year at the Academy, she was in a friendly duel with a wooden sword with her sparring partner and best friend, Lady Penelope Blancarosa, whose family is allied to her own, with Sienna Nelson and Astrid Grimnir as their witnesses, only for a momentary distraction to cause her to drop her guard at exactly the wrong time, getting a blow to the head that woke up her Monkey Girl memories.

The Harem:

Geordo:

I feel like Katarina was someone he found interesting early on, which was why she was one of, if not the frontrunner prior to Catarina's injury. Since she lives on an island in the north, she only really visits during social functions, so he didn't notice all of the changes, since she was basically just a slightly more disciplined version of herself as Bakarina. He's still trying to figure out how to broach the subject of potentially leaving his fiancee to be with her specifically due to the fact that, as a northerner, she might take offense to him trying to break his engagement like that.

Keith:

Keith wound up developing into something just shy of being an actual playboy, but it's very close. While his relationship with the Claes is... strained, to say the least, he actually managed to meet and befriend Katarina Termina during a ball, causing him to be infatuated because of how kind she was to him. Alas, she has noted on occasion that's she's somewhat disappointed in him for all his flirting with pretty much every girl he meets, which hits hard enough that he never goes further than flirting and the occasional cafe date with his target du jour.

Mary:

As something of a horticultural hobbyist, Katarina, upon a social visit to the Hunt manor, finds herself musing upon how the person who tended to the field has a green thumb, not knowing Mary was in earshot. By sheer chance, she and Mary don't get to properly meet until another social event, when Alan directly tells Mary that she has a wonderful green thumb. Cue Mary having a Crisis when she properly meets the mysterious garden lover at that same event. Now she's trying to figure out a good way to get both of them, by whatever means she can scheme up.

Nicol:

Nothing much changes, to be honest.

Sophia:

No one is quite sure how she keeps managing to get to Termina, given that it's on an island, but she inevitably appears there to hang out with the girl who saved her from those bullies when she was little, who she feels oddly comfortable with in a familiar sort of way.

Alan:

Not much actually changes. Timeline shifts a bit and, due to Mary not messing with him to try to neutralize him as a rival, he has a surprisingly healthy understanding of his feelings for everyone around him. Geordo breaking decorum by showing his interest in Katarina despite his engagement to Catarina also helped him see Geordo as fallible and human, helping him feel more comfortable with his brother.

Raphael:

Due to Marchioness Dieke not letting Sirius go many places and Raphael having no real basis for comparison, he spent an unfortunate amount of time thinking that Katarina Termina and Catarina Claes were the same person. He's actually a bit embarrassed about it when the trial starts and he sees the two of them in the same place.

Maria:

Since the Training Accident happens prior to the Academy days, then Maria's life actually isn't all that different from canon. The only real change for Maria is that her beloved Lady Katarina has an evil doppelganger named Catarina Claes, who Maria has seen her chase off.

Other Noble Ladies:

Sienna Nelson:

As with Anne, this relationship is being transferred from Catarina to Katarina because Katarina is all of the positive traits that the developers cut from Catarina Claes. Her family is subordinate to the Termina family, so she grew up in Termina's Keep with Katarina, giving her more confidence.

Penelope Blancarosa:

Her family's lands are the closest mainland territories to Termina, so she and Katarina are very close friends, and a fellow lover of the art of swordsmanship. Katarina has seen her with Astrid Grimnir enough times to know they have feelings for each other, but Katarina wonders how any girl can be as oblivious as Penelope when it comes to realizing one's friend is in love with them.

Astrid Grimnir:

Daughter of the Baron Grimnir of Seithr, the self-proclaimed Young Wolf is an avid hunter, like her father, and loves seeing innovations in any technology. She's also completely in love with Penelope and quickly befriended Katarina after having met her while she was tweaking the systems of one of the greenhouses.

Marsha Catley:

Funnily enough, she gets along rather well with Katarina, though she does assume that Katarina was devastated by the fact that she wasn't chosen to be Geordo's fiancee.

Noelia Flores:

She and Katarina hate one another. No one is entirely sure why, and most are too afraid to ask.

Catarina Claes:

Katarina and Catarina are natural enemies as a result of their opposing views on various topics. The only thing they can agree on is their disdain for Noelia's purposeless, boring malice. Like I said in the original thread, paraphrasing Terry Pratchett is the best way to describe how they feel about one another: Catarina and Katarina shared a look. It said: While I loathe you and every aspect of your personal philosophy to a depth unplumbable by any line, I’ll credit you at least with not being Noelia Flores.” Despite this, Katarina is still trying to figure out a way to stop Catarina from ruining her own life and that of those around her out of pity for what her foreknowledge showed her of her possible fates. This, funnily enough, got Catarina to stop bothering Maria after the first week because she was getting concerned by Katarina looking disappointedly at her with her hand on her sword.

*Edited because I forgot to include Penelope and Astrid.

AOTMA's dogs in exile

The Romanov's were a family of animal lovers (dogs, cats, elephants - Olga Alexandrovna had a tamed wolf, and there is also mention of a bear, birds and fish.)

When the royal nucleus of the family was exiled (imprisoned), the children were able to take some of their dogs (Jemmy, Anastasia's dog; Ortipo, who was Tatiana's dog, and Joy, Alexei's spaniel.) I am sure the pets were a great comfort to the family.

Joy was the only one who survived the massacre of the family. He was found by a soldier who recognized him and lived out his days in England. Jemmy died with Anastasia and Ortipo was found after the massacre and bayoneted. Some sources state that Jemmy's and Ortipo's fate were reversed.

These pictures are not new but they are beautifully colorized. I hope you enjoy them and visit my new blog:

Loki Season 2: Who Plays X-5?

"Loki" Season 2 brings everyone's favorite god of mischief back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe — but he's not alone. Marvel Studios' first foray into a multi-season show introduces plenty of new characters, like O.B. (Ke Huy Quan), General Dox (Kate Dickie), and X-5 (Rafael Casal), a Time Variance Authority (TVA) agent with quite the disdain for Mobius (Owen Wilson) and his love of Jet Skis. Although "Loki" Season 2 is Casal's most mainstream project to date, the actor has had enough appearances in his relatively young career to leave viewers wondering where they've seen him before. In 2018, he starred in the critically acclaimed movie "Blindspotting," writing and acting alongside longtime friend Daveed Diggs to bring the culture and reality of Oakland, California, to life on-screen. Casal also starred in, produced, and served as showrunner for Starz's spin-off sequel series of the same name. Additionally, the actor was part of the ensemble cast of "Bad Education," playing Kyle Contreras alongside Hugh Jackman, Ray Romano, and Allison Janney in HBO's award-winning television movie on America's largest public school embezzlement case. He also appeared on the 2019 revival of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" as the main villain, Mr. Tophat, and played John Cook on Showtime's "The Good Lord Bird" miniseries. "Loki" Season 2, Episode 1 introduces X-5 as a seemingly strict TVA agent who delivers Mobius and B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) to the TVA's judges' council. Based on the Season 2 trailer, fans can expect to see more of Rafael Casal, who seems to be going by the alias Brad Wolfe outside of the TVA. However, you won't catch the actor revealing much about his character anytime soon. "I cannot even confirm or deny this," Casal joked in April in response to Screen Rant Plus interviewer Tatiana Hullender's comment that he's "Loki" Season 2. "But that's a cool show, and if I was on it, it would be so awesome. I'll bet Tom Hiddleston is the best, I think Owen Wilson seems like a really awesome guy, and that all that cast and crew, I'll bet, are fantastic to work with. And so I'm really excited to see what Season 2 has because I'm a fan." While Casal found a fun way to adhere to any NDAs he may or may not have with Marvel Studios, "Loki" Season 2, Episode 1 officially confirms his MCU debut as X-5, and based on his scenes, it's evident he had a great time filming alongside Hiddleston and Wilson.
