One of the most iconic products of the Age of Apocalypse, the mad scientist Hank McCoy deserves your votes. Bio authored by our own @PastorCoco2 this time.

"i love you, you don't have to feel the same way, but i just needed t-" you were cut off as gentle hands cupped your jawline, stopping you mid-sentence. you hadn't expected anything to come from your rambling, in fact, you hadn't planned to ramble in the first place, it sort of just... happened. and now, well, here you were; the very person you'd been head-over-heels with for the last three months had his hands on either side of your jaw, looking at you with the warmest stare you'd ever seen. warm couldn't begin to describe how it felt to be under yeonjun’s gaze; it was intense, soft, and adoring all at once. his eyes were ever-so-slightly lidded, and the warmth of his palms ignited sparks on your supple skin. you swore you'd never seen anyone as beautiful as him, truly a living, breathing adonis. before you knew it, yeonjun’s face had inched closer, now mere centimeters from your own. the warmth of his breath taunted your skin, if you moved forward just a bit, your lips would've grazed each other’s. so that was exactly what you did. in a sudden burst of confidence, you leaned forward, your hands finding their way from your side to the soft polyester of yeonjun’s shirt, pressing into his waist. your lips collided, as if he didn't expect it, he faltered but kissed you back just as feverishly. as if your lungs held the last bits of oxygen on earth, and he was desperately trying to breathe it in. once you'd pushed away, yeonjun looked up at you with such an expression you swore you'd felt your knees go weak. you were truly and utterly whipped, and there was nothing you could do ---not that you'd want to anyway.

They had an on-again, off-again affair for many years.
During the Outback Era, the X-Men were gifted the Siege Perilous by the enigmatic Omniversal Guardian Roma. This mystic artifact, which for some inexplicable reason known only to Chris Claremont and the artist was depicted as a gem instead of a chair, would judge them based on all the good and evil they had done, and either give them a second chance to redeem themselves or send them to "a gateway to a paradise well earned."
When Rogue accidentally passed through the Siege Perilous while fighting Nimrod in X-Men #247, she disappeared for a year in publication - only to ultimately appear in the Savage Land in #269 without her Carol Danvers powers, where she was rescued by none other than Magneto.
While in the Savage Land, the two had a brief but intense affair, as Magneto was really the first man she had ever been able to touch without harming them with her mutant powers - and was able to use his technological might to eventually restore her Carol Danvers powers. However, Rogue broke off their relationship in #275 over her rooted moral objection to Magneto's ruthless decision to kill his defeated enemies.
This wouldn't be the end of their entanglement, however. During the alternate universe event "Age of Apocalypse," it was revealed that, prior to the crossover's main events, Earth-295's Rogue had been in a love triangle between Gambit and Magneto, and chosen Magneto, ultimately marrying him and having a child with him. Later that year, a de-aged, amnesiac, and substantially less-murderous Magneto calling himself "Joseph" appeared following Max's seeming death and there was this long-running love triangle between Rogue, Gambit, and Joseph where Gambit was the bad boy she couldn't touch and Joseph was the white-haired pretty boy who could touch her through magnetic forcefields. This eventually ended when it was revealed that Joseph was actually a clone of Magneto (DWAI) and went craaaaAaaazy.
When Magneto joined the X-Men following the Decimation and Cyclops' founding of Utopia, Rogue rekindled her feelings for Max in the Mike Carey run. Surprisingly, this time Gambit handled it with some grace, telling Rogue that he would wait for her until she was sure of her feelings.
This actually worked, and the two would eventually be married - a union that has continued for six years.
The rules are simple! Post characters you’d like to roleplay as, have roleplayed as, and might bring back. Then tag ten people to do the same (if you can’t think of ten, just write down however many you can and tag that number of people). Please repost, don’t reblog!

Tagging: you, friend! If you're so inclined.
Much like I did with Beto, I'll try to make a timeline of Ragua's life. It's in Earth years, but her species ages differently and much of her life is spent in virtual paradises/relativist travel, so the dates here are very approximate:
0: Is born in one of the paradise hatchery worlds of the Irruita (now called Precursor) civilization
1-15: Learns to swim, talk and all that (she did NOT eat her siblings at this time how dare you imply that's RUDE)
23: her parents "get bored of her" and she's raised by her grandparents in a rural world
23-54: Mostly gaming and herding fish and making shrimp egg honey
54: goes into her first galactic cruise with her girlfriend, she has a short honeymoon relationship with her (about 25 years max)
75-97: (plays gacha games):
98: reconciles with her parents for a brief time, works as a retainer in the Irruita celestial bureaucracy, quickly resigns
120: (plays gacha games)
130: Tries a singer career, goes kinda well
130-170: her "sex drugs and rock n' roll era" according to her (exact ratio unknown)
168: Gets bored of fame, might have blown up a moon in her farewell concert
170-210: (plays gacha games)
210-260: her second galactic cruise, has some short relationships but mostly goes sightseeing and such
270: (plays gacha games. some lady on Earth is inventing agriculture at this time, don't pay much attention to it)
295: goes into her third galactic cruise, this time alone
320: tries a contemplative pilgrimage to the center of the galaxy. Just kidding. (plays gacha games)
327: has a short fling with her girlfriend again (about 10 years)
340: nostalgic about her childhood, decides to become a retro game streamer/idol.
353: Reaches a thousand subscribers
360s: the retro fashion in this era gets her more popular
370s: she has about two billion subscribers now, making her a minor celebrity
381: she gets dared by her chat to wait for the release of a new game in relativistic travel, she takes the bet and goes into animated suspension.
The spaceship fails, sending her into relativistic travel for thousands of light years.
The Precursor civilization dissappears mysteriously.
The enterity of human recorded history happens
After the Machine War, modern galactic civilization emerges
381: spaceship deaccelerates into regular speed again, only a couple of months of internal time has passed, millenia have gone by outside.
386: discovered, still in suspended animation, by antiquities collectors who might be working for more secretive powers
387: Awakened by Beto and Suisini in a regular transport mission. After a short fight with the grave robbers, they agree to shelter her. She joins the tripulation of the Mastropiero
Deac's Picks - Horsemen of Apocalypse
Famine - Abyss
In the Age of Apocalypse, Abyss was a SCARY dude! This version not only had his dimensional powers but could feed off the fear of others. That could be a cool mechanic in game if done right! Earth 295's Abyss is a great add!
Are there any other characters (Marvel or otherwise) that you have thought about making a muse?
Oh, absolutely! There are a few characters that I am hyperfixated on that I have considered making a muse. However, for various reasons, I have not chosen to RP with them.
1. X-Men AoA Dark Beast (Marvel)
He is the complete opposite of Doreen Green, but I love this trash gremlin. My intro to the X-Men was the AoA series when I was about 13 years old and the character stuck with me. (Why? Because it was at the bookstore all in one graphic novel collection when I wanted to start reading comics. Allowance money well spent.)
I like mad scientist. I also like villains that enjoy being evil just because they can. The kind of person who stabs you in the front with a smile.
I don't RP this character because I'm hesitant to play established male characters since I am female and I am concerned with subconsciously portraying them incorrectly -- I am also about as smart as a bag of hammers and I don't want to butcher an intelligent character.
(Shout out to @positivelybeastly for their portrayal of 295 Beast. 10/10.)
2. Captain Carter (Marvel)
I want to be her when I grow up. Please carry me away in your strong arms, you beautiful woman.
Wait, why aren't I RPing this character? Maybe it's because I swoon over her too much. Or I'm lazy. Or both.
3. Iroh (Avatar the Last Airbender)
Hands-down the best character in the series in my humble opinion. I'm sure I would spend hours talking to this man if he were real.
I aspire to be a wise old sage who drinks tea and gives life advice... While also being a formidable fighter fire bender. Again, he is male, and I automatically struggle with that. (Also, are there even any active ATLA RP on Tumblr?)
4. Mephisto Pheles (Blue Exorcist)
I'm really picky with anime/manga. Almost any anime/manga that I consume is "slice of life" genera, but this is the exception. I saw an episode of Blue Exorcist on TV late one night in my college dorm and was instantly hooked with the entire concept -- and for some reason, this flamboyant asshat. Is it because he's one of the most powerful beings on earth whose middle name has to be 'Manipulation'? Is it his sarcasm? I'm 80% sure it's his aesthetic -- I'm a sucker for a top hat and a tailcoat.
But, alas, he is male. And I'm woefully behind on the series. And anime fandoms scare me a little.
Family: Only child of two Werewolf parents. Her Uncle (Rudy), on her mom's side, married a human (Joseph). The couple adopted a Giant (Kæmpe Stør) and a Dhampir (Sunday).
Fun fact: Suki doesn’t speak, but she occasionally barks. She freaks EVERYONE out, because she only stares at them, and her body can do things it physically shouldn't be able to do. She's unpredictable. (...Werewolf mythology tell of their moon goddess being reborn to earth ever 295 years...)
Here’s some of Suki terrorizing Stør’s family for a solid week:
Suki and Sunday had to share a room while Suki was visiting.
Suki spent a week with Stør’s while her parents were looking for houses in town. They end up moving to their town. Suki enters the same class as Sunday.
At first Sunday was very unhappy with her weird cousin always following her around, but she eventually realizes Suki is showing her love in her own special way.
Don’t worry, Suki and Sunday become best friends!

Super fun fact, Suki is named and designed after my dog. She also has a 1000 yard stare.
i was tagged by @nongnaos and @ranchthoughts thank youuu <333
i meant to upload this at the latest by december 31st, but the thing is when i saw the tag i was a little overwhelmed at first bc i didn't know how to fill it out and then once i had it all written out i had a super hard time deciding on what to gif and then it all ended up taking soooo much longer than planned. and now it's already 2024. oops. well, better late then never...
so without further ado:
You watched 12 QLs this year that's about 264 hours!
(i'm counting only qls that started airing 2023 bc i didn't keep track of every single show that i watched and it's a lot easier to count all the 2023 dramas on mdl lmao)
You primarily only watched QLs from Thailand
i blame my bachelor thesis for this which i was writing on the translation strategies of thai to eng and also the fact that i'm learning thai, so any time i watch a series i'm like "do i watch something from a country other than thailand tonight??" only for a little voice in my head to go "yeah but you COULD be spending your evening practicing thai listening skills" so yeah...
You spent way too much time thinking about these characters: Pat Napat Jindapat
listen. LISTEN. i know ok, i know bad buddy is from 2021 not from 2023. however!!!!! bad buddy was part of our skyy 2 and that included my boy pat and so i'm counting it!!!! i'm always thinking about pat napat jindapat ok bye
no for real tho. i am NOT kidding when i say i have spent hours on end thinking about pat in the year of our lord 2023, two full years after the show dropped:
maybe in 2024 i'll finally sit down and write that meta that's been in my head for two years now
Your favorite show was Moonlight Chicken
it's gotta be the chicken show for me. yeah. it just felt so... idk, real in a way. idk how to explain it. i'm not even obsessing over mlc all that much but any time it pops into my head i go all kinds of 😭😭😭 and 🥰🥰🥰
not to mention the firstmix
the heartliming
and most importantly earth and fourth as an uncle/nephew duo??
i am so🥺🥺🥺
special shoutout also to jimbo the cat (left) who looks almost exactly like coco, my family's cat (right):
Another one of your favorites was Last Twilight
just. the way p'aof shows relationships on screen okay. yeah.
i cry
You are still stuck in this hallway:
yeah i've been thinking about the yank-kiss-yeet scene from hidden agenda and joke breaking down afterwards in that very hallway for 19 weeks straight gay. bye.
The soundtracks you listened to the most were:
(according to my spotify wrapped top 5)
Just Friend? (Bad Buddy)
Our Song (Bad Buddy)
น้ำลาย (My School President Cover)
Secret (Bad Buddy)
yeah. i've given up on the "only 2023 media" thing. if we're talking songs only from series released in 2023 then i've got love love love (our skyy 2) on no. 32 and no more empty nights (our skyy 2) on no. 46 on my spotify wrapped
also if you're wondering what the 5th song (on no.3 in reality) from my top 5 was that's missing above where i only mentioned four songs, well, it's none other than tilly birds' same page? which yeah. is also bad buddy related. surprise surprise 🤭
Your overall bl mood was P'Aof
You created 15 gifsets (of which "only" 1/3 were about making other shows about bad buddy)
you can find them here
You shazammed 295 royalty free background music pieces/songs from thai dramas
fun fact: i haven't mentioned this publically yet but since thai dramas keep using the same music over and over again in various series i've actually started collecting the different songs/pieces and i'm planning on making a side blog about it. i just want to go through some more dramas first before i publish anything. so this is something you can look forward to in 2024 dkjfkfdj
currently shazamming my way through bad buddy (you may have seen my blorbo breakdown about pran in the ep4 sleepover scene the other week that was triggered by me shazamming all of ep4). next on the list: theory of love and the eclipse. it takes ages tho, so don't expect it any time soon
Your favorite acting pair was JoongDunk
(is anyone even surprised by this lol)
no but for real whatever these two have going on, i'm intrigued:
i just. i love their energy ok. they're fun. and they're clearly having fun
i couldn't decide on what to gif so here's a little compilation bc fuck it, this is my post and i get to do whatever the fuck i want
(actually there's more that i could have put in there but i didn't wanna waste any more time with posting this tag game and also i was trying to keep the compilation somewhat short lmao)
they are such silly little idiot boys ("little" says the 155cm tall short person about the 180+cm giants 🤭) and i adore them <3
their energy is essentially this meme and i'm so here for it:
and they just communicate so well when they're performing and you never feel like either of them is "alone" on stage (doing his own thing in his own little bubble), it's SUCH a joy to watch!!!! once again plugging two of my all time fave performances that i've been rewatching over and over again for the last 3 months:
youtube
youtube
also dunk is just SO little brother-shaped to me idek!! looking at his face just makes me go into big sister mode. it doesn't help that he's only like a month or so older than my actual little brother. AND he reminds me a lot of one of my fave kids from my youth group that i used to go to for years. dunk natachai has klein-andi energy and you all don't know what that means but i know what that means as does my mom and she agrees. so.
tagging:
i feel so ashamed for not making it in time before 2023 ended so i'm not gonna tag anyone but if you see this and you really wanna do it bc you haven't done it yet then please do so and tag me because i say so!!
and mutuals, send me yours bc i'm not sure i saw everyone else's!!!! (@celestial-sapphicss @moonkhao @visualtaehyun @telomeke @waitmyturtles @dribs-and-drabbles did you guys do this already and if yes, send me yours? i must have missed it 🥺🥺🥺)
