#vinny answers!!

What has been the most challenging part for you when you were mashing together TGM and Lt Rogers? What did you struggle with that was the lynchpin for making it work?

ooooo okay okay star i see you

these are both fantastic questions! so please forgive me for such a long answer 😅

so the one most challenging things was trying to work around "The Blip". because "The Blip" is a very important event in the Marvel Universe.

in some of the first drafts of 'Lieutenant Rogers' i had included more of her backstory and how she came to be in the Navy verus going into the Army like Steve had (i may write some side blurbs and include this, we'll see) but i had also included her feelings throughout the events of CA:CW and Infinity War and Endgame, including both blips

in the TGM universe, the Uranium Mission would technically occur within the 5 years that half of the universe had disappeared.

and in The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, we that the alliances and treaties created during "The Blip" are being challenged and broken. the flag smashers are a result of that.

and boom, there lied my connecting piece. the Uraninum Mission is a direct result of half the world's population coming back out of nowhere. so i just pushed back the mission to occur during TFATWS, no harm no foul

now, a pretty vital piece is that the shield HAD to go to John Walker (barf in my mouth, bleh 🤢🤮)

and myself, and my mom when i spoke to her about this story, both said "if steve has kids, it makes the most sense for the shield to go to them, right?" WRONG -- well in Star's case

because she already has a career, she's already doing her name proud.

it's why i had Sam attempt to give it to her in part one, so that she could turn it down - she's putting her trust and faith in Sam, just like her father had.

and that's how we got to where we are now!

i hope this answered your question(s)! and thank you for asking! i've been dying to talk about this (if that wasn't obvious lol)

I love you so much Star!! Mwah!

thinking about connor in prague saying "dad's theory was you got two fighting dogs, you send the weak one away, you punish the weak one." in relation to this episode, and the way the siblings view abuse inside their own family.

shiv and kendall and their belief that connor and roman are the weak dogs that got the brunt of logan's worst behavior, because abuse is reserved for the kids who can't behave - the ones who aren't smart and mature enough to make it in the world. abuse evokes pity, because abuse is what happens when you expect too much from people who obviously aren't capable of more.

and then they go forward in life, believing that they're just naturally more intelligent and more capable than connor and roman, as if being raised seeing what happens to you if you aren't a perfect child wasn't the entire point of the "punish the weak dog" mentality that logan instilled in them. the looming threat implied behind any praise they do receive that tacitly tells them "you're not like roman and connor" because everyone knows what happens to roman and connor.

the absolute height of the rich capitalist mindset. "we're succeeding because of our own merit, and other people fail because they don't have what it takes" when in reality they're succeeding because of arbitrary rules made up by someone who knows that infighting makes meaner dogs.

Something about baby machete makes me cry really hard. he looks so nervous and little I just want to hug him and tell him it will all be okay

(Also I’m not 100% sure which one’s machete and which ones Vasco so incase I get the name wrong I’m talking about the martyr)

People seem very touched by the bread, I'm delighted.

He'll then give you a blessing afterwards.

babe i need possessive/jealous chris SO BAD rn im convulsing

Can you do this for vinny?

Of course!

The waiter had been eyeing you a little too much, his gaze wandering lower than it should. Vinny tightens his grip in yours and clenches his jaw, handing him his credit card to pay for the meal. You say a bright “thank you” to the server as you exit the restaurant; Vinny just stares straight ahead. That is, until he turns his head to kiss your neck briefly, making dead eye contact with the server behind the two of you.

Later

“Say my fucking name.” Vinny’s hips snap into yours, one hand holding both of your wrists above your head. He pants warm breaths inches from your face, sweat beading on both of your bodies. “Vinny! God, Vinny!” You cry out, your legs shaking as they hook over his waist. “That’s right, baby, keep screaming my name. Let everyone know who you fucking belong to.”

details bout michael n eins dynamic. 2 me (cw physical/emotional abuse, cannibalism, suicide/suicidal idealizations, ableism, self-harm)

michael only refers to himself as eins father when he wants ein to do something, any other time hes just michael .

lets ein not refer to him as sir to make him feel more "special" .

after eins mom broke up w zack she sorta got a bit. out of it. she started neglecting ein and she became depressed. The First Step in ein distrusting others bc his mother stopped paying attention 2 him. michael used a small amount of his magic to control her and make her drown herself in the kitchen sink and then kidnapped ein, making it look like she had killed herself and ein had ran away. .

just as a small thing of me hcing ein as a transguy, michael named him ein bc the meaning of "ian" (which is what his name is just spelled weird) is "God is Gracious" as a constant reminder that michael "saved" ein. .

ein wasnt tested on w forever potions (in the early stages w the other kids) because michael absolutely could not let Zack know he had his other stupid kid. when ein found out about the testing he was extremely upset bc he wasnt "special enough" for it. picture ein 6 years old begging for medical malpractice to be used on him .

he was tested later but as a teen when michael got out, since he didnt have access to the other children. although he wasn't able to use the full potions since he didnt have access to emeralds at the moment, so he used diluted versions of the potions that weren't as powerful via syringes. ein gets a fear needles from it .

when michael n the other two idiots were locked in the pocket dimension ein went through a brief depressive period bc the One Guy he (thought) cared about him disappeared. when michael did get out he didnt tell ein immediately bc he . doesnt like ein but when he found out ein got arrested he told ein that he should stay in jail for a few months to "learn his lesson" .

slightly unrelated but when michael wanted him out of jail he also wanted ein to disappear off the radar so he faked eins death in jail. originally he wanted ein to die in like a riot but ein, sensing an opportunity, asked for it to say he killed himself instead. the opportunity being aphmau half way into her uni course looking up her old high school bullies to see what theyre up to and just finding out ein is Fucking Dead .

the potions michael uses on ein are mainly magic power related (like eins Green Laser) because he likes manipulating ein into doing things rather than using his magic because its "more fun" .

michael subconsciously views ein as his actual son (mcd travis) bc he feels like "this one is a better son" or whatever .

not a specific thing but mother knows best reprise from tangled is a Viewpoint on their dynamic 2 me .

ein is internally scared of michael but he never verbally says that and if anyone asks him if he is he denies it immediately bc he doesnt want pity. you can see it in his eyes though. elizabeth is really the only other person who mentions it but she mostly uses it to make fun of ein because she "doesnt think its that bad" (<- she is unaware) .

bc of michael ein absolutely hates unwarranted physical touch. he reacts violently if anyone grasps his shoulder from behind or touches his upper arms. the only touch he usually allows is people lightly touching his hair/head bc he still registers it as headpats (grabbing his hair usually results in him biting) .

michael usually physically threatens or abuses ein to reprimand him but sometimes he throws ein into the Metaphorical Torture Box for entertainment .

basically most of the things michael does to ein is for his own amusement .

he also heavily dehumanizes ein to convince him to do evil acts, rationalizing it to him as "you arent a person so is it really that bad??" ein does not view himself as an actual person at this point more so as a nameless soldier, a weapon, etc .

i used this for an old fic n stuff too but also michael makes ein commit cannibalism to forcibly dehumanize him more. he wants to make ein feel entirely disconnected from humanity (like michael feels for himself) so ein will basically be a "mini michael" .

ein also consciously copies michaels mannerisms/speech. only really elizabeth n zack notice it however and it just fucking freaks zack the hell out (elizabeth is also freaked out by it but mostly ignores it) .

theres just a general theme of a loss of control for ein in general. he gets a small allowance from michael and hes not allowed out overnight, all his communication is usually internally with the researchers or guardian forces. most of the time ein self isolates from them, viewing them as beneath him and michael. when they try to talk to him its a 50/50 whether he'll tell them to fuck off or he'll hiss at them .

another specific detail is pre s4 ein fucked up a potion and instead of his usual reprimand, michael used pliers to defang ein. in his head its the one thing ein can't rationalize about michaels actions (the one "seed of doubt" he has). he usually makes excuses for michael's actions towards him but being defanged is the only one he struggles with since he knows that michael knows how important his wolf side is to him .

pre s5 and just like at the end of s5 (when ein was seen on the bridge) he was going through another depressive episode bc he missed his ears and tail. he was mainly just going through the motions of his daily life but he was barely holding on. michael repeatedly discouraged ein from committing because the plan would be messed up because of it (michael said that directly to him) and he would imply that ein would be a traitor if he went through with it. .

michael actually flipped between discouraging and encouraging ein to commit to see what he would do. .

he's caught ein self-harming before, w ein attempting to either drown or smother himself. michael doesnt like doing this regularly but most of the time he lets ein hug him so he feels "comforted". other times michael just scolds him and tells him to not do it again. .

i also hc ein as a low empathy autistic (bc # me) and he used to stim very openly and loudly but michael disliked that part of him so he "trained" ein to not stim in public which just results in him being constantly overstimulated, a contributor to Ein being fucking mad all the time. hes like a hair trigger away from a meltdown at all times .

the only method of stimming ein can usually get away w is when he scratches his arms/scabs. unfortunately he doesn't trim his claws and it usually results in ein making himself bleed or reopening scars. michael has attempted to get him to stop doing this but its pretty much a compulsion for ein at this point.

What is their fondest memory?

Nearly answered with something from the Vault, but honestly those memories probably aren't very fond to him anymore

So his fondest memory would probably be when he held his daughter for the first time

What is their biggest regret?

He has a lot. But the main ones would be the fact he was annoyed with his dad and had an argument with him shortly before he died. It's something that will haunt him for his entire life. He's never even told anyone because he holds a lot of shame over it, and it's just genuinely too painful for him to talk about
