maedhros/fingon/maglor 👀👀 or better say maitimo/finno/kano? cause it’s definitely pre-darkening timeline for me

a taste of hannibal, a touch of megamind, a shot of venom (pours the whole damn bottle)
i love venom (2018) a lot, it’s my go-to movie when i’m bored or sad, i have seen it many many times. i saw it again a week or so ago with a bud and finally had the opportunity to pen down this lovely au i’ve been thinkin bout
i’ve got a much more fleshed out sketch of how this au plays out. not sure if i’ll write it yet
anyway some bullet points
noir (called, ofc, noir) arrives on earth-138 in the 1920s. his first host is robbie and they basically go through the venom movie, where noir slowly learns to love earth and humanity and all that jazz. up until the 50s or so they’re an investigative reporter and occasionally a scary vigilante superhero!
when robbie is killed (not ewaf style. i forbid it), it fucking devastates noir and he host-hops for a bit, doing fun anarchy things to keep up robbie’s legacy but also losing a few morals here and there. he can do a little murder and eat nazis as a treat
the symbiotes arrive en masse and osborn infects humans with them to turn into his fascist riot police army
through vampire-hunting-esque shenanigans, hobie and noir meet, and strike up a tenuous truce to fight the government. hobie does not like him at first, but noir very much does ;)
cue a slow burn gothic romance between a freedom fighter and a devoted monster <3

Prompt 255
You know what? Three-way crossover. Danny Phantom, DC, and Monster Hunter.
Specifically something akin to Monster Hunter Wilds (Which isn’t out at this time) where there’s not much or any sort of settlements (from what we’ve seen) though there’s some signs of ancient ones. But several heroes might have erm, fallen through a portal or two and now they’re in some sort of… place full of unknown creatures and monsters.
Dragons, for one, but that’s just the beginning of the proverbial iceberg. And they might be a bit… stuck. Just a little bit.
On the other hand, the Eternal Quartet- that is Tucker, Danny, Sam & Valerie- have decided to go on a bit of vacation before college. You know, get some last bit of feral-ness out and alright maybe they just wanted to not have to deal with other people.
And there’s a bunch of creatures here, and plenty of plants for Sam to get excited about too. And look, Valerie isn’t going to say no to a giant velociraptor sort of creature that she can ride. And- holy fuck Tucker do not harness the power of a storm to power your PDA- Actually stop summoning storms please-

Hi there! I love D so much and their route is just <3<3<3. HOWEVER, My crown is not the type to suck up to the nobles, and they seem to be the ones really "preventing" (for lack of a better word) the relationship between D and the Crown... will being a crown that prioritizes the people over the nobility hinder the relationship between D and the Crown? Especially considering the events in ch 11 💀
If anything, it's the opposite!
Like, the nobles and the court and all the social rules attached to being the Crown is definitely an obstacle, but that doesn't change D's feelings for the Crown at all. Those are external circumstances that neither of them can change - and, if anything, a Crown that prioritizes the people will further win D's admiration and strengthen their bond as a result.
If your Crown starts veering into directions that prioritize or enable the noble class of Arsur at the cost of its citizens, however? Now that's a problem, because that's fully within the Crown's control, and something D disagrees with immensely. Pretty much flying into the core of everything they believe and the principles they hold, pretty much.
Each of the LIs already have had opinions on what the Crown has decided in their official capacity as a ruler (such as the choice you make in CH5 regarding the assassination attempt), but they just haven't been very vocal about it yet because the decisions have been smaller scale, less consequential, or without any overt moral slant. It hasn't impacted the relationship much at all yet.
But the further along the story we get, the greater the consequences of political decisions the Crown will have to make, and the more the LIs will have to say about it.
A romancers, for example, have already gotten a preview of this in CH11 if they made a certain choice that drew A's anger...
So, be prepared for that!!

So I see folks pointing out that Louis' circle A tattoo is more likely an aesthetic choice than an announcement of a political commitment to anarchism, and saying basically that that maybe makes him a bit of a poser and I mean- I GUESS. But I don't like to look at things that way and I don't think it's useful. As I see it the subversive sexiness of the symbols of resistance have ALWAYS been gateways for people who are drawn to the struggle in vague ways and that's GOOD. Aligning yourself with those values is good no matter the reason, in my book, especially given the wretched options available out there, but also the journey doesn't necessarily stop there. Gatekeeping queerness victimizes people who are just trying things out and starting to discover that it may run deeper than just trying on a new look who should instead be welcomed and helped along their path, and I fail to see how gatekeeping political affiliations is any different (plus how counterproductive to actual movement building is that?)
ANYWAY. What I really want to say about Louis is that while I KNOW that Louis is probably not secretly a theory reading anti-state communalist anarchist, I think that actually Louis' optimism and idealism (and his unwavering commitment to allying himself with the working class and embracing those roots) are a perfect fit for the philosophy and always have been. I know that anarchism is mostly understood as being about throwing molotov cocktails and fighting the state (and the allure of its symbols are that they signify this, a terrific aesthetic for him to choose to sign on with in my book), but that's honestly largely cartoonish stereotyping that comes directly from anti-anarchist state propaganda. That resistance is necessary in this hellscape of oppression we live in and is super important, but in its heart anarchism is only about the state in that the state and capitalism currently stands in the way of its goals. The whole point of anarchism is that it's NOT about the state! It's about being able to imagine something better than a state, it's about how we live and about how we SHOULD live, it's about HOPE and picturing something utopian and something free of the ways capitalism pits us against one another! What could be more Louis than that?
"I need you and you need me and I love that" is as beautiful a way of talking about the cornerstone of anarchism that is mutual aid as any long winded essay I've read (even if what he meant was contextually different), and I think when he talks again and again about how special the space fans have made around him is he is expressing an intuitive understanding of the importance of autonomous zones, places and moments outside of the shitty life imposed on us by the system (also a huge part of anarchist thought). Maybe I'm just being an optimist but I think that Louis DOES understand that caring for people and wanting self-determination and freedom for all and allying himself with the working class involves a certain amount of resistance to and positioning yourself in opposition to the state. Thinking the symbols of smashing that state are cool isn't meaningless; it's a CHOICE. There are other cool symbols out there and I just happen to think that feeling a resonance with certain ones is something in and of itself, even if at this moment he does not choose to start a fight with the media about it all.

As much as I do genuinely understand why Hannibal did the things he did and why the events of the show unfolded the way they did, my hearts breaks at the knowledge that Will never got a loving partner to gently coax him out of the closet and teach him to embrace his nature. Hannibal took his morals and goals and dreams and stomped on them, greedily reaching into Will's chest and forcing out his darkness and violently initiating his becoming. I imagine Will with a partner who isn't as selfish, who kisses him softly and reassures him, who validates his fears and runs their hands through his hair and supports him. Who teaches him to embrace his nature with loving hands and sharp teeth and the good kind of pain. Who puts Will first. Hannibal wasn't capable of giving him that, so he loved Will the only way he knew how. But I like to think that when Hannibal wrote down his equations and fantasized about turning back time, he imagined giving Will that.
