I’ve been working on his backstory comic for a while now, so here’s something like a character sheet for my Miraculous Mentor AU Felix Sphinx! ✨
A retired Chat Noir, engaged to his Ladybug, and the unlikely guardian of a new kitten! Also stuck in the store for an hour because they changed the brand of goldfish crackers Adrien likes... 😔

—on the topic of psychotic Summers brothers, I only just caught up with six months of X-Men after stopping for six months the topic of Gabriel referring to the tags of my last X-Men post a month ago — but I was happy to see Scott's torture-induced psychosis didn't (definitively) turn out just to be that he'd calculated what others hadn't. Yes, the woman he'd accurately calculated would save him was Dr. Gregor, not Jean, but that doesn't change that he remained unsure if Jean was real (and thought she was alive) while the all-seeing Enigma knew on the contrary that Scott was delusional because Phoenix thus equally (an equivocation which casts further doubt of Scott's fiery visions ever being genuine, as Jean's dying mind had departed Scott well before Mother Righteous sacrificed Jean's dead fragmented self for Dominion, before Scott was tortured) Jean — were so utterly dead that Rachel and Hope had to cancel out death to reverse it. Yet Scott, hyper-vigilant traumatized autistic brain-damaged neurodivergent soldier that he is, seemingly accomplished all these strategic calculations while having a psychotic “break,” which is extremely in character for him—

@honorhearted cont.
she did not expect him of all people at the door. when johanna first heard the sound of the knock, her heart nearly leaped out of her chest and she had to bite back a smile as she practically leaped up from the bed to answer it ( in case, it was one of the staff or one of the other girls, of course ). it was neither. and it wasn’t who she hoped it would be, even knowing how dangerous that would be for him to meet her here. practically in front of everyone at this heaven-forsaken school.
johanna is quick to move out of the way in time for mr. tallmadge to come barreling inside. the moment she saw him, her brows creased with the knowledge that something is wrong. hands are rigid at her sides.
❝ mr. tallmadge, ❞ she mumbles as he sits, ❝ i do not think it is appropriate . . . ❞ though, she says it as if she hasn’t been in the unoccupied company of a single man before. the rules at the school are strict. not as strict as the rules enforced under the judge’s so-called care, but they are restricting enough to bring out a flame of silent rebellion in johanna. very much including the guest she let in through the window every few nights.
she does not want to be here. letters back to the tallmadge’s ( and, of course, extra long ones addressed to gabe ) detail the boring and restrictive life she leads. johanna has to bring herself to be thankful. she always knew reverend tallmadge would grow tired of her and perhaps even hate her. she brought this upon herself doing whatever it was to make her so unlikable. she never expresses gratitude for being here, but never admits she resents it. the only person she has ever admitted that to is the young man that comes to her window later in the evening.
❝ been informed? mr. tallmadge, they don’t tell me anything here. i wouldn’t know . . . ❞ johanna stops at his next words. despite hating this school, despite knowing that the poor reverend lost his seemingly endless amount of patience with her, she cares about the man. she doesn’t want him to be gone. without a note. without any sign. without any witness.
fingers weave through her curls the way they do when she is upset. no, no, no. he is not here. he is not here to interrupt the little moments of happiness she has found here. no. and if he were to find out about anthony . . . he would kill him. the same way johanna is certain he intends on killing mr. tallmadge the moment he gets too close.
❝ you are not . . . you are not serious, sir. ❞ she cannot bare to speak. ❝ why would he come here just to torment you? why would he attempt to get his revenge on you stealing his ward and wounding him? ❞ he would, is the simple answer. he is. she knows him better. ❝ you are certain there are no other possibilities? ❞ johanna begins to pace about the room. ❝ if there aren’t, i must come back with you. ❞ her trunk is already packed with her belongings because of her plans of elopement with . . . anthony. ❝ i have to . . . inform someone of my leaving. perhaps, you should meet him. ’ she has lost control of all thought, of all meaning. ❝ he will be good to come with us. if we have to leave, he can sail us there. ❞

hi soph!! if you're still doing the ask game: 28
omg sorry I've been offline all day!! but hi! ty for the ask!!
28. A song by an artist with a voice you love
i'm going to say worms and angels by echobelly because i absolutely adore sonya maden's voice. echobelly miiiiight be my favorite britpop band just because they're so often disregarded in retrospectives (at least from my perspective as an american lmao) and yet i find them really fascinatingly mature and childish? if that makes sense? i think it's the lyrics and it really works with the genre/sound, the nonspecific rebellion. worms and angels is also just a beautiful song, really great contrast of earthly death and the deathless afterlife fitted together....

✧ — headcanon.
Roger has always shown himself as greater than life. To an outsider, he might seem like both the unmovable object and unstoppable force. Nothing seems to be able to touch him, any injury he might sustain or threat he might encounter would all be laughed off with a wide grin. Even when enraged, in the height of vengeance driven battle, you’ll find him laughing.
Joy and anger are two sides to his coin, never letting himself be seen shedding tears of anything besides glee. His strength comes from his unwavering conviction, and in his outlook of his world, as well as sense of duty, leaves no space for sadness; letting rage take its place if must be.
On the rare occasion something serious enough might occur to last longer than his rage — such as the death or serious injury of a crew member — Roger would lock himself in his cabin and refuse to come out for any reason besides a crew mate being immediate danger. Only once he’s confident he can exist and laugh without threat of cracking does he leave his room and accepts what had occurred. And even this only lasts, at the most, a few days.
He believes he has no time to spend over regrets, grief, and the such when his time is limited and he remains captain of a crew who needs him to be strong. Although, Rayleigh remains the sole exception and only person Roger would ever willingly let himself cry from sorrow around, as well as the only person he might be willing to listen to and lean on when he locks himself away.
