Victor!Aegon II Targaryen x Victor!Reader

Summary: President Snow announces that in the next Quarter Quell, the tributes will be reaped from among the victors.

Logically I should have posted the Jace games first but it's been a while since I posted anything about Aegon and I was excited haha

Edit: The first chapter of the Jace games is now available.

Likes, reblogs and comments are always appreciated. Please, if you enjoyed this reading, let me know in the comments or in my inbox, that always motivates me to continue writing 💖💖

My inbox is open so I'm always willing to read your headcanons, opinions and answer your questions.

Disclaimer: English is not my first language so I apologize for any mistakes.

You were in the house of Viserys Targaryen like the rest of the victors from your district. Of course, you had to drag Aegon's drunk ass out of his house and bring him here first. Everyone was waiting for the broadcast about the seventy-five Hunger Games. All the Hunger Games were bloody but this year was the third quarter quell and in each quarter quell they modified the rules with the purpose of making the games even more brutal and more difficult to win. In the last quarter quell instead of sending two tributes per district they sent four so you couldn't even imagine what they planned to do now.

You locked eyes with Rhaenyra as you heard her father laugh at his own joke. She, like you, seemed to be anxious about the announcement because she kept spinning her rings.

“That's enough,” you said when you heard Alicent, Aegon's mother and Viserys' wife, sigh for the fifth time when she saw that her son wouldn't stop drinking. You tried to take the bottle from him but he slapped you and looked at you annoyed. Rhaenyra was ready to intervene but you waved her hand at her telling her you could handle it. “At least you can share a little,” you complained.

Aegon looked at you suspiciously. It wouldn't be the first time that you asked him to share his alcohol with you and then didn't return the bottle or in any case threw away all its contents. He groaned as he watched you pout before handing you the bottle. You smiled at him making a small smile appear on his face. Even so, he watched you carefully as you drank his whiskey, when he thought it was enough he abruptly took the bottle from you, causing the liquid to drip onto your chin. He laughed at your annoyed look as you wiped yourself with your hand. Rhaenyra shook her head at their foolishness.

President Snow finally appeared on the screen. Aegon's laughter stopped as did the conversation between Daemon, Viserys, and Harrold. At first, there was nothing out of the ordinary, as every year he talked about the uprising against the Capitol and how significant the games were until…

"On the 75th anniversary, as a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest among them cannot overcome the power of the Capitol"You didn't know why but you couldn't help but get tense, you felt your stomach drop, you tried to calm by telling yourself that surely it was just the drink you had that was bad for you and you leaned back from the couch, listening even more attentively to the speech. "the male and female tributes will be reaped from their existing pool of victors."

You heard Alicent's screams. You watched as Rhaenyra got up from the couch and left the house. You flinched at the sound of breaking glass. The president's voice was no longer heard and the smell of whiskey filled the place. Aegon was no longer next to you, he found himself banging his head against the wall as he screamed. You felt like your heart was going a mile a second. You had a lump in your throat and your chest hurt and all you wanted to do was join in the screaming and smash things but that wouldn't help. Aegon needed you, Aemond and Daeron were busy trying to calm their mother down while Viserys carried a frightened Helaena to her room and Harrold along with Willis was trying to stop Daemon from destroying the kitchen as he had done with the vases in the living room.

You stood up and didn't bother to dodge the glass as you walked towards the youngest male victor in your district. You tugged at the back of his shirt, managing to move him away from the wall for a brief moment.

“Aegon! Stop” you shouted in a broken voice as you saw her hit herself again.

Hearing your voice like that Aegon turned to see you. There was now a bloody gash on his forehead and his eyes were manic. For a brief moment you thought he would attack you but all he did was pull your body towards his and entice you into a tight hug.

“We can't go back. I can’t go back” You felt his body shake as he sobbed and your heart broke for him. You knew Aegon's head couldn't handle surviving another arena, he spends all his time drinking to stay groggy and avoid thinking about all the people he killed. Even most of the time he only managed to fall asleep after having been drinking non-stop. "I can not do it"

“You won't,” you promised, caressing his cheeks, your head already hatching a plan. District One has five living male victors: Viserys, Daemon, Aegon, Willis Fell, and Harrold Westerling. There were chances that Aegon's name wouldn't come up in the reaping but if it did then Daemon could offer himself as a tribute. He would do it if you volunteered in Rhaenyra's place and if you promised to help him keep his girlfriend from District Four alive.

“I can't lose you,” he said, resting his forehead against yours. Maybe he was lucky and his name didn't come up in the reaping but you had less chance. You and Rhaenyra were the only living victors in the district. If your name came up he knew his sister wouldn't show up as a tribute. She may not depend on being drunk to keep her calm but he had witnessed how she would sometimes wake up screaming and the dark circles under her eyes were evidence that she could sometimes go days without sleep.

And those words ended up destroying you. You started crying with him. You wanted to be strong but you couldn't. You didn't want to go back to the arena either, you were supposed to be free after winning the games, and you didn't want to kill again, much less people you know. You may not be friends with every victor but during these years as a mentor, you had at least spoken once with each one.

Your stomach twisted as you thought that maybe it was one of your friends who would finish you off. Would they be merciful and give you a not-so-painful death? You didn't believe it because you knew that the people in the Capitol liked the show, they got bored with a simple death, and they wanted to see blood. So if Arryk, Tyland Johanna, and Sabitha wanted to live they would have to put on a show to gain sponsors.

Perhaps the easiest thing would be to commit suicide in the games, you would bring dishonor to your district—you wouldn't be the first, people still didn't see Viserys as a true victor after having betrayed his cousin by killing her while she slept—but at least you wouldn't have to kill anyone. The president couldn't punish you, he had already taken away your loved ones after you refused to prostitute yourself and killed the one who was supposed to be your biggest sponsor, he had only wanted you to come out alive so he could obtain your body.

You could die by eating some poisonous bug, plant, or fruit like Jacaerys Strong and her district mate had tried to do at the last minute. Supposedly they had done it because they were in love and didn't dare to be in a world without each other but you were sure it was an act. You could come to believe that the girl is in love but the boy does not seem natural with every display of affection in public.

“It's not fair,” you whispered in disbelief when you realized that they were all being punished because of the last victors. They had done their act of rebellion by threatening to eat poisonous berries so that there would be no winner of the games after announcing that the rule that there could be two winners if they were part of the same district was revoked. “It's not fair,” you moved your hands away from Aegon's face for fear that in your state of fury, you might end up scratching him. “I want them dead.”

You were too deep in your head to notice Aegon looking at you in dismay. Tears didn't stop flowing from your eyes but there was no longer fear in them but fury and determination. You have the same look you had during your Hunger Games.

You may die in these hunger games but at least before you leave you would make sure to make the so-called lovers of District Twelve pay for ruining what little peace you and Aegon had. You would make them wish they had died in their games.

These days it seemed like all you felt was anger. Angry at President Snow, at the Capitol, at Jacaerys Strong, and the girl from Twelve. But right now the one you were angry at was Aegon. The day after the announcement about vassalage was made, all the victors agreed that they would train together and get in shape for these games. The only one who had continued training all these years was Daemon, so the rest had a lot to catch up on, especially Viserys and Harrold—because of their age—and Aegon—because of his alcoholism—so when it was about to be a week and the idiot still didn't leave his house, you got angry.

You entered his house with the key he gave you a year ago. You found him sleeping on the couch with several bottles, some empty and others still unopened, on his table. You bit the inside of your cheek to avoid waking him up by screaming. The best thing would be to take advantage of the fact that he was asleep to get rid of any alcohol that was in the house. You started by inspecting the entire house and ended up throwing the contents of two flasks that were in his bathroom, five bottles of whiskey that you found in his room, and five bottles of vodka in his kitchen, down the drain.

When Aegon woke up he found you putting the bottles that were on his table into a garbage bag. He rubbed his eyes tiredly and once his vision fully focused he slowly stood up. He walked towards you and he hugged you from behind. Feeling your body he tensed he left a kiss on the back of your neck hoping you would relax but instead, he earned a slap on his hands that were on your waist. The blonde grumbled and walked away from you, finally realizing your bad mood.

“Go take a bath” you ordered without looking at him and continuing with your cleaning task.

Aegon listened to you, of course, he left before grumbling, revealing his displeasure at your cold tone towards him, hoping that once he was clean you would let him hug you and kiss you. At the thought of having your sweet lips, he soon took a quick shower and didn't even bother to dry his hair well before coming down to meet you in the kitchen. I smile at you when I see that you have made him eggs and toasted him bread. Before eating he wanted to look for a bottle of vodka to accompany the meal but he found his shelf empty.

“No more alcohol,” you declared, making the blonde turn to look at you with a frown. “Don't even try, I got rid of everything” you said when you saw him opening another shelf.

“You have no right!” He reproached you, pointing his finger as he walked towards you. You didn't flinch at his angry look nor did you try to escape when he placed both of his hands on the table, leaving you caged between his body and the table.

“You told me you couldn't lose me” The man looked at you confused without understanding what this had to do with you taking away his alcohol “So I'm training and I'm trying hard for these games for you” You felt heat on your face because of what you were about to say, you weren't used to being so open with your feelings. “I want you to do the same for me. I want you to train with me and the rest of the victors. I want you to promise me that you will give everything you have to win these games because I can't lose you either, I couldn't bear to live without you” Your voice broke at the end and you closed your eyes.

You needed Aegon to promise you so you could be a little calmer, you had already spoken with Daemon and he accepted your deal but you were still afraid that he would betray you at the last minute, you needed to know that Aegon would not give up if he went to the arena.

Feeling his chest warm at your words Aegon grabbed you by the waist to bring you even closer to him and captured his lips with yours. It didn't take long for you to move your lips in tandem with him. While he got drunk with the sweetness of your lips and melted before your touch, he couldn't help but think that this was the way he wanted to spend his last days, by your side. He also wanted to hit his past self for not taking advantage of every moment he had with you. If only he had made the effort to be a decent man and become someone worthy of you he would have told you a long time ago that he loves you. But he didn't and he didn't want to tie you down to spending the rest of your life with a useless drunk so he kept his feelings to himself and settled for those shared nights.

A growl left his lips as you broke the kiss. He tried to kiss you again but you moved your face making him pout.

"Please, Aegon. I need you to train. I need you to try and fight for us."

He hated that look in your eyes. He could see the fear and sadness in them. And knowing that he was one of the reasons you were unhappy made him feel a pit in his stomach. He didn't like the idea of having to fight Daemon and obey his orders, but he would do it for you.

"I will do it, I promise"

Maybe later when he is crying and with sore muscles he would regret it but seeing how your eyes lit up and the bright smile you gave him he didn't believe that would happen.

"I love you" he finally confessed his feelings and smiled when he saw the surprise in your eyes "I love you. I love you. I love you" he repeated while he spread kisses all over your face.

A mixture of laughter and sobs escaped your lips. You were happy to know that he also felt the same as you, you had long wanted to hear those words, but your heart ached knowing that you would not be able to spend the rest of your life at Aegon's side. It was a bittersweet feeling.

"I love you too," you declared through tears.

*    knowing  your  partner  well  can  potentially  make  writing  a  lot  easier,    repost,    do  not  reblog.

                                           meet the mun.  — basics

NAME:  loki PRONOUNS:   she/her PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION:  primarily on tumblr, but i also dig discord since it's a huge ass window instead of a small one on desktop. SINGLE / TAKEN: not relevant.

— three facts

i. i've been on tumblr for possibly eleven or twelve ( 11 or 12 ) years; excluding the hiatuses. ii.  hella awkward. may be passionate and gush when i get incredibly happy about interacting with other muses that just vibe well with amelia. and vibing well with other muns. iii. will always ( whenever i remember ) send an ask thanking whomever follows me; opening the doors for communication despite being an socially awkward person.

— experience

i first started roleplaying on multiple rp sites since i was a freshman in high school since 2007, i believe. then shifted over to tumblr possibly around 2010??? i cannot remember considering i bounced around multiple blogs and accounts. so i have approximately 16 ( sixteen ) years or so of writing experience. which of course excludes the multiple hiatuses i've been in. ALL IN ALL, i still try my best with writing. despite writing for so long, im still shy and hesitant on my writing considering english is not my strong suit.

— sub-genres

FLUFF: don't get me wrong. amelia is very horrifying and a difficult person to deal with. however, there are moments where she allows herself to be soft. she adores her children very much. and she will always show that soft ( yet also stern ) motherly love to them. when it comes to fluff and softness, it's my favourite. i love the juxtaposition of a horrifying "villain" & cosmic entity just being a bit soft once and a while. especially when she has something to protect. it's the good shit. ANGST: YA KNOW WHEN I SAID I LOVE FLUFF??? well strap on and buckle up because I LOVE ANGST LIKE IT'S AIR. gimme gimme gimme. i find angst hella fun. and i just wanna toss my muse into situations like that for my own enjoyment. let her be soft for a moment but then she will clam up and rapidly build walls around her. not to protect herself, but more so not allowing such human & weak emotions get the best of her. HORROR: she THRIVES in horror. i need more horror friends just so amelia can thrive in that world. let her feast, ravage, torture, and be beautiful in sin. it's a wild ride when it comes to her. horror makes the world go 'round in these parts. so, yes. give me plenty of horror. SMUT: ya know, i don't mind sexual themes or smut when it comes to her. HOWEVER, im not gonna throw her around willy nilly because someone wants her. sure we can jest about it. i prefer the connection between two muses grow naturally. OR we discuss it beforehand. like, i love this stuff like the next person. but do NOT expect it. i don't mind posting it on here or discord. it will always be under read more and tagged accordingly. NOTE: that amelia MUST have romantic feelings with someone in order to do anything of the sort. she must love ( or whatever semblance of love she can conjure ) your muse in order to feel any sexual attraction.

— plots vs memes

it depends. i LOVE memes and use them for ice breakers. hell, even continue the meme/ask to an actual thread. but i also dig plotting. sure i may have the barest idea, but i love brainstorming with a mun to get the ball rolling. if you have an idea, lemme know in DMs :3 MUTUALS only tho.

— long or short replies

oh man. im like 50/50 ( fifty-fifty ) on this. sometimes i write long replies ( which i do my very best one. it's not one of my strong suits but im always trying to push myself ). sometimes i write short replies like a couple of paragraphs. or do some one-liners for quick n easy chatting between our muses.

— best time to write

i prefer writing at night; central time ( cst ). at night, i can just chill with hardly any distractions and music playing in the background for some extra brain activity to get the ball rolling.

[histoireettralala]

Fouché and Napoleon

" Between these two men, there is no friendly atmosphere. Just as Fouché isn't for Napoleon an agreeable servant, Napoleon isn't for Fouché an agreeable master: not once does he trustingly and quietly accept a police report. He probes, hawk-eyed, every line to spot the smallest inaccuracy, the least little mistake; then he rants and raves, scolding his minister like a schoolboy, letting himself be completely carried away by the extreme of his Corsican temper. The ushers, those who look by the keyholes, his coworkers on the Council of Ministers, unanimously notice how much, precisely by contrast, Fouché's composure, in his resistance, irritated the emperor. But, even without their testimony (because one must only read the Memories of this time with intense scrutiny), one would be informed, because we can hear even in the letters the harsh and tough command voice: "I find that the police don't monitor the press with the necessary vigor", Napoleon writes, lecturing the old seasoned master; or he cracks the whip: "One could believe that nobody can read at the Ministry of the Police; nothing is ever foreseen." Or again: "I invite you to confine yourself to the framework of your duties, and to keep away from the matters of foreign policy." Napoleon, we know it by a hundred recounts, reprimands him in front of witnesses, in front of the aides-de-camp and of the State Council, bluntly, and when anger frothes over his lips, he doesn't even hesitate to mention Lyon, his terrorist period, and to call him a regicide and a traitor. But Fouché, icy observer who, since ten years, knows the whole range of these fits of anger, and knows that sometimes this is only an unintentional burst brought by hot blood, and also that sometimes Napoleon is just acting, doesn't allow himself to be intimidated by those storms, whether they are genuine or theatrical, unlike, for example, the Austrian minister Cobenzl, who trembled in fright when the emperor threw at his feet a vase of precious porcelain; he doesn't let himself be sidetracked by the emperor's apparent anger or his actual wrath. With his colorless face, which looks like a plaster cast, without any eye movement, without any nerve betraying an emotion, he calmly stands under this downpour of words; just, maybe, when he leaves the room, a wry or wicked smile ripples across his thin lips. He doesn't even shiver when the emperor shouts at him: "You are a traitor, Duke of Otrante, I should have you beheaded"; but he answers, without changing the tone of his voice, and as though it was a mundane matter: " I do not share this view". A hundred times he hears dismissals, threats of proscription and destitution, and he still leaves the room calmly, knowing perfectly that tomorrow the emperor will call him back. And every time he is right. For in spite of his distrust, his anger, and his covert hatred, for ten years, until the last hour, Napoleon absolutely cannot dispense with him.

This power of Fouché over Napoleon, which was an enigma for all his contemporaries, doesn't owe anything to magic or to hypnotism. It is a power acquired with science and secured by work, ability, and systematic surveillance. Fouché knows a lot,- he even knows too much. Not only through the emperor's confidences, but also against the master's will; he knows all the imperial secrets, and he keeps in check the emperor, - as, besides, the whole empire,- by his perfect and almost eerie informations [...] When Napoleon, at eleven in the evening, shrouded in a strange coat and almost completely disguised, gets out of the Tuileries by a secret door to go to a mistress, Fouché knows on the next morning where the carriage went, how long the emperor stayed in the house, when he came back; he can even, someday, shame the sovereign of the world by telling him that this woman he chose is cheating on him, Napoleon, with a poorly chosen comedy actor. A copy of every important writing out of the emperor's office is given to Fouché by a bribed secretary, and more than one servant, of high or little rank, gets a monthly stipend on the Police Minister's secret funds to bring him back exactly everything which is said in the Palace: by day or by night, at the table and in bed, Napoleon is monitored by his overzealous minister. Impossible to hide a secret from him: thus the emperor is forced, willy-nilly, to confide in him. And this knowledge of everything and everyone provides Fouché with this unique power over men which Balzac so admired.

With the same care he puts to oversee every affair, idea or thought of the emperor, Fouché endeavours to conceal his own from him. Fouché never entrusts to the emperor or to anybody his actual goal, his works; he only imparts from his gigantic intelligence exactly what he wants to. The rest stays sealed in the drawer of the Police minister; Fouché doesn't allow anybody to have a look at this ultimate citadel; he even puts his passion, all his passion, his only passion, into the magnificent luxury to remain inscrutable and to form an element nobody can take into account with absolute accuracy. In vain does Napoleon attach to Fouché some spies; he mocks them or even uses them to send back, through them, to their duped sender, completely false and ridiculous reports. With the years, this game of espionage and counter-espionage between the two fellows will become always more insidious and hateful, and they almost openly lack sincerity toward one another. No, really, there is no clear and limpid atmosphere between these two men, among whom one wants too much to be the master, and the other doesn't want to be enough the servant. The more powerful Napoleon becomes, the more Fouché inconveniences him. The stronger Fouché becomes, the more he hates Napoleon."

#napoleonic #stefan zweig #fouché #napoléon bonaparte #joseph fouché #to be fair everything napoléon says about fouché being a former terrorist and a regicide is absolutely true and they both know it #i just love how unfazed fouché is #oh how it must have galled napoleon to see him so cool and calm #and to know fouché knew everything about him and there was no way to escape him #and fouché enjoys this power so much #in a cool and amused way #their dynamic is fascinating

Hi, how are you? *Take a deep breath and start typing*

If I blocked as many people as I should, I wouldn't have to write almost every week "if you don't like what I wrote, you don't have to reblog".

I personally think the act of blocking someone here is very healthy, because you are your biggest responsibility and it's important that you do the right thing for yourself. And when we block someone it's not necessarily we saying: you are a bad person, it just means: we don't want to deal with you or your opinions.

As you said, nobody is paying us for blogging, we basically just have a space online to vent our thoughts and try to have some fun, to take our minds of our problems. So when someone makes our experience here less enjoyable, it's only natural that we make a move to put things back on track.

I'm sure I'm in many block lists, and I don't think this makes the people who blocked me look bad, or it makes me look bad. I think it was the right decision, and if I'm making someone unhappy here, and this person wants to block me: go for it, hit that button and don't look back.

Of course that it brings me a lot of joy that I found great people here (you're obviously included), but it brings me relief that from time to time I block someone that is making me unhappy, or is putting me in a difficult position. Because I can focus on the people that makes this place a good place to be.

I'm not sure you're a hugging type of person, but I am so whether you post it or not, consider yourself hugged and if you ever want to talk, I'm here for you. And thank you for sharing your impure thoughts with us 😊

Exactly. I've recently come to realize it's a healthy thing, especially once he died. I do not just block people willy nilly; there is usually a reason. Lately, that reason ranges from "this person is being an asshole in his tag" to "you've made it personal at some point and you can go fuck yourself."

I have always wanted this to be exactly that type of place, or at least not one riddled with drama (asshole anons aside). It took way to long for me to truly not care what other (admittedly, more "well-known") bloggers think, and to realize I do not need to formulate my opinions in a way that will please them. I did that to avoid confrontation, but as time went on and I matured/had personal growth, I've realized how dumb that was and how unhappy it made me. I know I'm repeating myself when I say this, but now that he's gone, I threw away all of my fucks. I will speak up, and if the offending party is butthurt, well, sucks for them. My mental health and maintaining a good mental state is more important to me than how a stranger on the Internet who thinks they know shit about my life feels.

I've also tried to be up-front about any changes in management. I give ample notice of things so people can block tags, unfollow, etc. if they decide they don't want to "deal with me" anymore. When people don't, that is not my problem. For some reason, the same people will get butthurt should I respond/block them, and make it my problem. No motherfucker, lern 2 reed. I meant exactly what I said. There's a fuckin' pinned post with all of this, stated explicitly and in simple English. Stop being stupid and then blaming me for it.

I sometimes do hug! But generally no I'm not super physically affectionate. But thank you! I appreciate your hug! And I will continue to share my impure thoughts! *aggressively appreciates and thirsts after Sea Duke*

[TASK 189: NAMIBIA]

In celebration of March 21st being Namibian Independence Day, here’s a masterlist below compiled of over 190+ Namibian faceclaims categorised by gender with their occupation and ethnicity denoted if there was a reliable source. If you want an extra challenge use random.org to pick a random number! Of course everything listed below are just suggestions and you can pick whichever faceclaim or whichever project you desire.

Any questions can be sent here and all tutorials have been linked below the cut for ease of access! REMEMBER to tag your resources with #TASKSWEEKLY and we will reblog them onto the main! This task can be tagged with whatever you want but if you want us to see it please be sure that our tag is the first five tags, @ mention us or send us a messaging linking us to your post!

THE TASK - scroll down for FC’s!

STEP 1: Decide on a FC you wish to create resources for! You can always do more than one but who are you starting with? There are links to masterlists you can use in order to find them and if you want help, just send us a message and we can pick one for you at random!

STEP 2: Pick what you want to create! You can obviously do more than one thing, but what do you want to start off with? Screencaps, RP icons, GIF packs, masterlists, PNG’s, fancasts, alternative FC’s - LITERALLY anything you desire!

STEP 3: Look back on tasks that we have created previously for tutorials on the thing you are creating unless you have whatever it is you are doing mastered - then of course feel free to just get on and do it. :)

STEP 4: Upload and tag with #TASKSWEEKLY! If you didn’t use your own screencaps/images make sure to credit where you got them from as we will not reblog packs which do not credit caps or original gifs from the original maker.

FULL NAME.     jason peter todd wayne NICKNAME / ALIAS.     red hood, jay, jaybird, little wing (only dick and occasionally bruce gets away with that one; barbara if he’s feeling some type of way) GENDER.     cis man HEIGHT.     6′ AGE.    24/25 ZODIAC.     leo LANGUAGES.    english, spanish, german, french, russian, filipino, asl, some arabic and japanese, terrible cantonese, mandarin, and portugeuse

𝐩𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 !

HAIR COLOR.     black, white forelock that does not take to color well EYE COLOR.     grey pre-death, green post lazarus pit SKIN TONE.       olive, tons of freckles BODY TYPE.     built! like! a! linebacker! dorito! shaped! ACCENT.     he’s a city kid, and i figure gotham has a little bit of jersey, a little bit of staten island coming out in there. VOICE.     his voice is naturally pretty low. he rumbles a lot, knows how to make himself sound pissed off and scary—the other side of that spectrum is softer, quieter, a voice he’ll use with kids, or scared people he’s inevitably helping DOMINANT HAND.     right, but he’s ambidextrous. POSTURE.    unless he’s trying to prove something, he’s typically slouching a little, a little bit of the winter soldier strut without the metal arm but with similar back injuries and weight distribution. the lazarus pit healed a lot, but he still gets flare ups in his back and shoulders from the joker, and moves to compensate. also it makes him look scary as fuck. SCARS.     loads. most notable are the y-incision on his torso (it’s faint but there if you look), a scar on his left upper lip, a scar on the left of his neck from a batarang, multiple laceration scars of varying sizes, multiple gunshot wounds, notably on a shoulder that went through to his back, an arm, and his side. TATTOOS.     i like to think that he got an arrowhead tattoo for roy in some inconspicious place, like behind his ear or the inside of his thigh or on his inner ribs BIRTHMARKS.      nothing notable MOST NOTICEABLE FEATURE(S).    his eyes! they’re always a little just shy of spooky, especially at night. and his thicc biceps.

𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐝 !

PLACE OF BIRTH.   gotham city HOMETOWN.     gotham city BIRTH WEIGHT.     smol. apparently he was a sickly baby and his survival chances Weren’t Great. BIRTH HEIGHT.     see above MANNER OF BIRTH. questionable FIRST WORDS.     mama SIBLINGS.        no birth siblings PARENTS.        i literally can’t be assed to give a shit about his dad but i’m pretty sure it’s willis; and catherine todd. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT.      parental involvement??? when your mom is a drug abuser and your dad is a raging alcoholic with a penchant for violence??? you can’t fool me dc!!!! i know jason is a mama’s boy!!!!!!!

𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 !

OCCUPATION.      vigilante bABY! CURRENT RESIDENCE.          wherever he damn well chooses thanks CLOSE FRIENDS.          roy harper, starfire RELATIONSHIP STATUS.             in canon: single / out of canon where it matters: always some vague form of taken or really taken FINANCIAL STATUS.               he’s loaded, illegally DRIVER’S LICENSE.               he died before he got one, so the one he has is absolutely faked CRIMINAL RECORD.              plenty of misdimeanors for petty theft, probably breaking and entering, vandalism, a lot that bruce has probably wiped clean or redacted from his records VICES.               violence, sex, getting into shouting matches with bruce

𝐬𝐞𝐱 & 𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 !

SEXUAL ORIENTATION.               bisexual ROMANTIC ORIENTATION.               bi PREFERRED EMOTIONAL ROLE.           submissive |  dominant | switch.   PREFERRED SEXUAL ROLE.             submissive  |  dominant | switch. LIBIDO.                give him the right partner and it’s always on TURN ONS.               getting his hair pulled, hand around his throat, getting challenged, when someone fully calls his bluffs on those challenges, likes to watch, likes to order his partners around and likes it more when they listen—a lot of turn ons also go very tightly hand in hand with trust. if he doesn’t trust his partner, there isn’t much he’ll let them do to him personally, especially if he’s in the submissive role, and at that point he just wants to get railed stupid TURN OFFS.           anyone breaching his trust, especially with sex, pinning him by the back of his neck, tying him up, degradation, pain that borders on dangerous LOVE LANGUAGE.               physical. he’s not good at talking about his feelings or admitting to them, but he’s pretty obvious with how he feels based on what he does physically. he tends to show a lot of physical affection through action without really realising it RELATIONSHIP TENDENCIES.              he’s not very experienced with the relationship aspect. canon-wise, he’s only ever been in one? two? actual relationships that fizzled out. he doesn’t really perceive himself as a settled, partially because of what he does, but mostly because everything is so dangerous that he doesn’t think making the effort is worth it. occasionally he’ll stick around for a little, or circle back to an old flame, but his tendency is usually to run before things so much as smell serious. he’s not very good at opening himself up, but doesn’t realise it’s an issue.

CHARACTER’S THEME SONG.     would you like a playlist? probably patd’s emperor’s new clothes? twisted by missio? (hello my name is jason todd welcome to my twisted mind) HOBBIES TO PASS TIME.               he likes to... sharpen knives... and watch shitty b-rated horror movies. if he visits the manor he will fully spend all of his time with the dogs. MENTAL ILLNESSES.             ptsd, anxiety/depression, manic episodes possibly related to bipolar disorder, all undiagonosed and exacerbated/suppressed to various degrees due to the effects of the lazarus pit PHYSICAL ILLNESSES.          none—the lazarus pit puts him right over peak physical condition, so even though he deals with some undercurrents of chronic pain, he doesn’t usually notice unless he really gets his ass handed to him LEFT OR RIGHT BRAINED.           mostly left-brained PHOBIAS.          the joker, being buried alive SELF CONFIDENCE LEVEL.           he hovers at a decent 9 most days, usually because he stubbornly believes that he’s right VULNERABILITIES.          abandonment, his own anger, his death will always be a sore point no matter how many times he jokes about it, bruce, his own moral compass in comparison to his family’s, the people he actively cares about, gotham city, his own bleeding heart

Writing Chicago

okay, so i saw this reference post a long time ago that was all about new york city to help people who write about it but don’t really know about it. and i haven’t seen one about chicago, my home city, so i thought i’d make one!!

you are allowed to like this, reblog this, etc. this is for everyone to use as a reference!! i might add more information if i missed something!! if you think something is wrong or should be changed, please let me know!! this is just some general knowledge you should have about chicago from a native that you can’t really get from wikipedia. i hope you find this useful!

Linguistics

No, we do not talk like Mike Ditka. At all.

Soda is called pop.

People say “you guys.” “Y’all” is used more in southern Illinois.

Chicagoland area = Chicago + the surrounding suburbs + Northwest Indiana

The Lake Effect: a term often used, especially on the weather report. This term describes the effects the lake, Lake Michigan, have on the weather. Basically, it keeps it cool during the summer and warmer during the winter. But it’s not like you notice it in the winter because temperatures easily remain under 20 degrees from November to April.

Chicagoans will always and forever call the Willis Tower the Sears Tower. If you hear somebody say that, they either work there or they’re not from around there. And if you say it to somebody from Chicago, you’re going to get a funny look.

“The Lake” = Lake Michigan. Referenced often.

While this may not come up in writing, we say caramel like “car-mel” not “car-a-mel.”

When people say “the city,” they mean Chicago. You often hear this in the suburbs.

CTA = Chicago Transit Authority. It is comprised of train lines and bus lines.

Transportation

Sometimes you might hear something called the “skyway.” It’s Interstate 90 and it connects Chicago to Indiana. What’s noticeable about it is that it’s this giant, tollway on a giant bridge over the Calumet River. And there’s a McDonald’s right smack dab in the middle of it.

O’Hare is one of the biggest airports in the country and pretty much the primary airport of Chicago. However, there is also Chicago Midway International Airport (just called Midway). O’Hare is in northwest Chicago and Midway is closer to the Loop and Chicago’s south side.

Chicago does not have a “subway system.” Like, trains that run underground. Instead, Chicago’s subway is above ground and goes above traffic. It’s called the “L” which is short for elevated. There are 8 lines, each one named by color (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, and pink). The Red Line is the longest one, going from north to south. And it is the only one that does actually go underground in downtown Chicago. Nobody uses the Yellow Line because it only goes from Northern Chicago to Skokie, one of the northwest suburbs of Chicago. People who use the Yellow Line are commuters between Chicago and Skokie. The only other Line that goes outside of Chicago is the Purple Line, which goes to Wilmett and Evanston, two suburbs literally right outside of Chicago.

The Loop is Chicago’s downtown. It’s called the loop because majority of the CTA lines have stations that circle around the downtown. So it’s called the loop because of it. People say “the Loop” when they’re talking about downtown or taking the CTA. Some lines of the CTA only circle the loop.

Metra vs. Amtrak. The Metra is a train that connects Chicago to the suburbs. The L is more like a subway that arrives at every station in ten-minute intervals. The Metra is more like a train with more scheduled times. The L takes you around Chicago. The Metra takes you out of it. The Amtrak takes you out of Chicago to the rest of the country. Some stops are in the suburbs. But if you’re taking the Amtrak to the suburbs, chances are, Chicago was not your starting point. You’d be coming from another city, such as Springfield, and stopping in Chicago before going out to the suburbs. The Metra is for commuters.There are two stations for the Metra and Amtrak, Union Station and Ogilvie Transportation Center (OTC), both located a block apart from each other, both in downtown. 

You don’t drive in the city. It’s a nightmare. Road rage is everywhere. Most people take the L, the bus, cabs, or Uber. People only drive in the city if they’re coming from outside or going outside of the city. 

Here is the CTA map just for shits and giggles. 

Weather

It’s so unpredictable. It will be 50 degrees in the morning and snow by 3 pm.

Also, 50 degrees is considered warm in Chicago. People are wearing shorts even at 40 degrees tbh. Also, it is always colder in Chicago than in the suburbs. And the suburbs are colder than central Illinois. You can tell the difference when you are traveling. 

Chicago is a very windy city. And there is a big difference in temperature with the wind chill. 

Schools will not close, even if there is a foot of snow on the ground and/or it is below zero degrees.

Likewise, it can be extremely hot in Chicago. Like, summers are usually well over 80 degrees. There just is no in-between. 

Natural disasters? Uncommon. There are occasional earthquakes that happen like once every other year and they’re usually so little that people just sleep right through them. Tornadoes are the most common, but even those are infrequent and only really occur in rural Illinois. 

Attractions

Some popular sites in Chicago, even for natives, are Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, Brookfield Zoo, Sears Tower, Museum of Science and Industry, Field Museum, The Art Institute, Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and Wrigley Field.

Millennium Park is extremely popular. It’s located inside the loop and every year, there’s a special Christmas tree lighting. People ice skate there all the time in the winter and there’s the Bean. The Bean is officially called the “Cloud Gate” but everybody calls it “the Bean.” It’s this giant, stainless steel sculpture that’s like looking into a mirror. This is prime selfie spot here.

The Field Museum is home of Sue, the most complete T-Rex skeleton in the world. She’s pretty cool. People love swimming in Lake Michigan or going to the beaches, even if it is 50 degrees out. The Polar Plunge is popular. Wrigley Field is kind of a major attraction because of the Cubs but also because it is the second oldest baseball park in America. Except for the giant screens and a brand new bullpen, the field pretty much is the same as when it opened in 1912. You can go to the top of the Sears Tower, to the 110th floor, and go on the “Sky Deck.” There are glass boxes attached to the outside of the building where you can walk on and view the city. It’s the best view in the whole city. 

You can also get the world’s largest ice cream sundae at Margie’s Candies, or so they say. I’ve had it, it is absolutely enormous, and it tastes incredible.

Lollapalooza. This is the biggest event in Chicago every single year. It is this giant music festival. It is filled with young adults, drugs, cops, and booze. It’s the Coachella of Chicago. Tickets sell out within hours of going on sale. When I was in high school, people honestly skipped school so they can stay home and buy their Lolla tickets. People do not fuck around when it comes to this.

Population

Very Polish. You see it in the street names.

Very democratic. Illinois is a democratic state because of Chicago’s population. Rural Illinois is way more Republican.

The main ethnic groups of Chicago are Irish, German, Latinx (especially Mexican), Assyrian, Arab, Jewish, English, Black, Korean, Chinese, Filipino, Puerto Rican, Indian, Italian, Cuban, and Polish. The suburbs tend to have a higher population of white people with low populations of people of color.

Sports

It’s a major thing in Chicago. Home of the Bulls (basketball), Bears (football), Blackhawks (hockey), Cubs (baseball), and White Sox (baseball).

The Bulls and the Blackhawks are Chicago’s most successful teams and the most popular.

Everyone is a Bears fan and everyone hates the Bears. They have been extremely unsuccessful the past like 7 seasons. People care a lot about the Bears. Most Bears fans really hate the Green Bay Packers.

The north side of Chicago belongs to the Cubs. The south side belongs to the White Sox. The city is very divided on this one and fans of either team don’t really get along with fans from the other team. However, everyone can agree that the Cubs winning the World Series was amazing. The Cubs have an intense rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals, and the fans hate the Cardinals like the Bears hate the Packers. 

Food

So you’ll mostly find your average food chains around Chicago. McDonald’s, Starbucks, etc. However, Chicago is also known for its Chicago-style hot dogs, Maxwell Street Polishes, and the deep dish pizza. Chicagoans will always tell you that their pizza is better than New York’s.

However, the most popular food chains are local ones: Portillo’s, Giordano’s, Oberweis, Steak ‘n Shake. Portillo’s is famous for their beef (hot dogs, Italian beef, burgers) and their chocolate cake shakes. Portillo’s is Chicago’s In-N-Out Burger. If you are looking for the most Chicago pizza ever, Giordano’s is the place to go. Oberweis sells ice cream, milkshakes, and milk. And Steak ‘n Shake is crazy popular because of their steakburgers, shakes, and for their ridiculously low prices.

Other Notes

Illinois south of Bloomington is like a whole different state. Northern Illinois is dominated by Chicago. Outside of the Chicagoland area, it’s more rural--save for smaller cities like Freeport, Rockford, Springfield, Bloomington, Peoria, Urbana-Champaign--and extremely different. People even talk differently in some places!

The Chicago River is dyed green every St. Patrick’s Day. Like, it is legit green. St. Patrick’s Day is one of the biggest celebrations in Chicago, even if you aren’t Irish. There’s the huge parade and people just like to see a bright green river. People get so lit for this. 

Ferris Bueller’s Day off was known as “John Hughes’ love letter to Chicago.” Regardless of your opinions on the plot, characters, actors, director, etc., this film really is all about Chicago and will give you great insight on what it’s like. 

Ever since, like 2014-2015ish, Chicago has banned plastic bags. So if you go to the grocery store, chances are, you’ll be charged to use plastic bags or you wil have to bring your own or you will use paper. Depends on the store, really. Here’s a useful wesbite on the ban that tells you what you need to know. 

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, feel free to ask me!! Happy writing!!!

1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? “Lilly”

2. WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME? “Lillian Rose Holloway... although it is the surname I picked after learning more about this century.  People apparently did not approve of a woman not having a surname here.”

3. DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU WERE CALLED THAT? "My village was all about nature.  It is very common there for children to be named for things in nature.  The strangest one was a boy named after what I am told is called fog.”

4. ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN? "My parents never chose anyone for me, if that is what you are asking.  My parents believed a union should be made from love, and, to be honest, this modern world is confusing enough without adding courtships.”

5. HAVE ANY ABILITIES OR POWERS? "Of course.  My village would describe it as a gift of the elements.  I can make almost anything bend to my will.”

6. STOP BEING A MARY SUE/GARY STU. "I am unsure why, but I have a feeling that you are attempting to insult me.”

7. WHAT’S YOUR EYE COLOR? “Green, although I once turned my eyes brown by accident.”

8. HOW ABOUT YOUR HAIR COLOR?

“Blonde.  Always blonde.  Very strange for someone from my village.”

9. HAVE YOU ANY FAMILY MEMBERS?

"Not in this century, no.  Unfortunately, I have yet to meet anyone who was around a thousand years ago.”

10. OH? WHAT ABOUT PETS? “None as of yet.  Though I do intend to adopt at some point.”

11. THAT’S COOL I GUESS, NOW TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE. "Those vehicles with the sirens coming from them.  I understand that it is likely to gain the attention of the other vehicles so they can get through to whatever emergency they are heading to.  But do they have to do so in such a sound?  It is as if they are trying to scare people!”

12. DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES/ACTIVITIES YOU LIKE DOING? "I love to sing, I paint... although the painting styles have changed a lot since I was doing it.  I dance, though styles have changed for that, too, perhaps more than paintings.”

13. EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE? “I am not proud of it, but yes.  In order to protect my village, I once used my gifts to stop the invaders.  Most of them survived, though.”

14. EVER….KILLED ANYONE BEFORE?”

“I... I believe I just answered that.”

15. WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU?

“I apologize, but I think I may be too new to English to understand your question.”

16. NAME YOUR WORST HABITS. “I haven’t really had a chance to explore habits of this century yet, past understanding the differences a thousand years makes, I mean.”

17. DO YOU LOOK UP TO ANYONE AT ALL? "I admired my mother and father.”

18. GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL? “I do not understand your question.  Is sexuality an open discussion topic in this century.  Seems rather barbaric, if you ask me.”

19. DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL? “I had finished with my education several months before I was turned to stone.  I have not even considered looking into the education process of this century.”

20. DO YOU EVER WANT TO MARRY AND HAVE KIDS ONE DAY? “Of course.  I have always wanted to have a large family.”

21. DO YOU HAVE ANY FANBOYS/FANGIRLS?”

“What is a... a fangirl?  Do you have women fanning you here?”

22. WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF?

“That I will never see my family again.”

23. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY WEAR? “Well... a thousand years ago, I would wear a simple cotton dress, perhaps an apron over it.  Now, I find myself in a comfortable dress or a pair of jeans with blouse.”

24. DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE? "I believe I said I was not ready for adding courtships on top of me learning my way through this century.”

25. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WET YOURSELF? "I once accidentally made it rain over the whole countryside and was utterly drenched, if that was what you meant.”

26. WHAT CLASS ARE YOU? (HIGH CLASS, MIDDLE CLASS, LOW CLASS) "What are those classes?  I am afraid I do not understand.”

27. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE?

“I have stuck to a very small amount of people since I have arrived in this century, so maybe... five, currently?”

28. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON PIE?

“What is pie?”

29. FAVOURITE DRINK?

“There is a wine that my village was famous for a thousand years ago.  I have no idea if it is still made, but I have wanted a glass since I woke up in this century.”

30. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE?

“I have enjoyed seeing every place that I have seen in this modern world.”

”31. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SOMEONE?

“I am interested in many people.  This modern world has so many interesting people.”

32. WHAT’S YOUR BRA CUP SIZE AND/OR HOW BIG IS YOUR WILLY?

“Why would I answer that?  You are totally barbaric.”

33. WOULD YOU RATHER SWIM IN THE LAKE OR THE OCEAN?

"A lake.  Salt water is horrendous for you and your skin.  Not to mention the waves can pull you right under... though that is not really an issue for me.”

34. WHAT’S YOUR TYPE?

"My type?  My type in what?  Do you understand how vague that is for someone who’s native language is not English?”

35. ANY FETISHES?

“I am afraid I don’t understand the question.”

36. SEME OR UKE? TOP OR BOTTOM? DOMINANT OR SUBMISSIVE? “I have no idea what you are talking about... though I have a feeling I should be offended.”

37. Camping or Indoors?

“I love being outdoors.  This... city life is difficult to get use to.  My village was a village of about one hundred people.  This New York is... infinitely larger.”

38. ARE YOU WANTING THE QUIZ TO END?

"I do enjoy speaking of my life before this modern world.  But I must admit that being asked questions I do not understand is rather exhausting.”

because i reblogged this thing like two weeks ago now and never answered the ones i got I’M SORRY 

18. If they were a superhero, what powers would they have? (if they have powers, what are they and under what conditions do they work?)

sunflowerny dat me 🌻 ANYWAYYY telepathy definitely. he already kinda knows what everyone is thinking just because he’s that intuitive, so i think it’d suit him as a super power...although he’d probably hate it because part of the fun in having intuition is uncertainty. 

FOR WHOOOO? i’m just gonna do el trio de oro heheh

17. On average, how much sleep do they get at a time?

santi - like 5 inconsistent hours at most lmao. he’s an insomniac :{ gianni - probably like the perfect 8 hours and u know what i bet he can fall asleep on command and he’s an early riser too. how does he do it rooney - i feel like she’s a light sleeper so she’ll probably like wake up randomly in the middle of the night and go bake some muffins or talk to her plants and then go back to sleep

24. Describe their voice.

HELLLLLYEAH VOICE CLAIMS ARE MY SH***********T

rooney - soft like marmalade but with a feisty bite to it, confusing in a way that you’re always trying to track her speech patterns peppered with a dozen different accents, but mostly one that resembles a 40s film star gianni - softspoken but stern, never mumbling, deep but not intimidating, his voice is never raised, never loud, and the room hushes for him when he speaks up santi - boyish and higher pitched than you’d expect, but somehow befitting of his appearance, raspy and endearing, he emphasizes d’s and t’s in a weird way and is either yelling or mumbling, there is no in between.

1. What’s their full name, how’s it pronounced, and what does it mean?

FUCK U IT’S RODRIGO SANTIAGO NAVARRO

what does it mean? idfk lemme look up the name meanings. rodrigo = “famous ruler” same, santiago = “saint james” WHO??, navarro = “plains” ...exciting. the famous ruler, saint james, of the plains

14. What’s their biggest secret?

🌚

scars.

20. What would your character’s favourite band(s) be?

OMG i just realized i kinda answered this in my 5 facts thing with her. her favorite band has been the cure, ever since she was 13 years old! my little emogoth some other faves are the pixies, siouxsie and the banshees, fiona apple, cat power, bjork, dinosaur jr, the arcade fire, the jesus and mary chain, belle and sebastian, and neil young. her biggest guilty pleasure is willie nelson lmfao

SANTA MONICA i’m laughin

18. If they were a superhero, what powers would they have? (if they have powers, what are they and under what conditions do they work?)

oh god. probably like firebending lmao. or maybe time traveling but in a way that you can only visit the past, not alter it.

21. How many languages do they speak, and what are they?

two! spanish and english. i wouldn’t say either were his first language, he kinda learned them simultaneously as a kid. and he knows very few italian words and phrases thanks to gianni

THERE’S NO 27 LMFAO SO I’M GONNA DO 25

25. How long would they last in a zombie apocalypse?

he would just immediately lay down and say “fuck it” just ready to die but then somehow miraculously survive due to sheer luck.
