Hi

Can you recommend me Bat-family comics to read? Which ones do you like?

Heyyyy

I would love it!

DISCLAIMER Keep it in mind I'm a casual reader so my recs might not be the most "this is every issue they are together" or the longer ones!

Let's go!

Nightwing Annual (2021)

Dick & Jason focused

This is one of my favorites ones, it focuses both on Dick's and Jason's relationship as Nightwing and Robin and Nightwing and Redhood.

The dialogue is great, it has both it's really funny bits but also it's really wholesome ones too and it's full of heartwarming moments.

I absolutely adore the way they handled Jason's Robin and acknowledges his violent tendencies without judging him for it.

He's not portrayed as overly violent and reckless, but as a normal teenager having normal reactions given the things he had to deal in his past.

My only criticism is Jason still using that damn crowbar and how they kept drawing Jason shorter the Nightwing for some reason. I think it was to accentuate the "younger brother" feelings so I forgive the artist.

But it's pretty funny.

He looks like short king

Robin & Batman

Dick and Bruce focused

Oh this one, this one it's so good, so good that almost got me crying on main. It's really beautiful, I wasn't the happiest about how Bruce behaved in the comic but it sat in a fine line between Batdad and Bruce being a terrible father/person.

He is too hard on Robin, but it does show how he is trying.

The art is goddamn beautiful, it has this watercolor look and Dick looks adorable on it.

It also goes deep in Dick's feelings about being Robin and what the whole jig means to him, it respects Dick's relationship with Bruce but without forgetting the love and the moments he had with his biological parents.

It's just really, really beautiful a goddamn gem between the many mistakes DC made with them two over those years.

For Tim and Dick I really recomend

Batman Prodigal (1997)

Note: The whole Kightfell series is great for a Bruce, Dick and Tim read. But for the Batfam feelings you can just focus on the prodigal parts.

Dick & Tim focused

The only thing you have to know to catch up is:

1. Bane broke Bruce's back and dignity, so he couldn't still be Batman.

2. Bruce found this guy called Jean Paul to fill for him.

3. Jean Paul is really fond of punishment and violence and the good ol' catholic guilt and goes a little bit too rogue as Batman for everyone's liking.

4. Bruce takes the mantle from Jean Paul and Nightwing fills in as the new Batman.

I wouldn't call exactly brotherly, because Tim wasn't adopted yet in the timeline this was published but they have their moments.

New talent show case DC #2017

Duke and Jason focused

This is also a favorite. It's a short story (unfortunately) but every single panel is worth it.

It's basically Jason and Duke bonding moment between fighting some baddies and trying to clown each other on the way. 10/10 will always recommend.

Robin War

Jason & Duke & Tim & Damian

This one I've read recently (thanks for the asks people send to me y'all are fucking great) and it's a fucking gem!

It shows a lot their chemistry on the battlefield and how fucking insufferable they are around each other. It also shows how Duke fits as a glove in this family of misfits even before he was an "official member".

Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual (2016)

Another Dick and Jason focused!

Oh this one is a blast! It's also short but so goddamn worth it.

Basically Jason and the Outlaws take a gig in a circus to track a Russian bad guy (gotta love how comic books have unresolved beef with Russians until this day) and well it's a circus so how can you not call Dick Grayson?

It's so goddamn funny and it has no right to be, it still very close in the timeline where Dick and Jason were definitely not in good terms, so their interaction it's all so awkward it's a joy really.

We also got a flashback from Dick and younger Jason as Robin and even the flashback is goddamn hilarious, I had such a good time reading it that it's a must read!

Now If you're here for the angst and general feeling's™

I would highly recomend.

- Nightwing Year One (Dick & Bruce)

- Death in the Family (Jason & Bruce & Dick)

- Red Robin (Tim & Dick / Tim & Damian / minor Tim & Cass / Minor Bruce & Tim)

Note: They don't interact much in this run but when they do it hurts. It also can help you understand the beef between Tim and Damian better.

- DCeased (Damian & Steph / minor Damian & Jason)

Note: It's one of the many, many DC aus but this one it's 'pretty' good (it's decent). Definitely not Batfam focused but it has one one of my favorite Damian & Steph and Damian & Jason moments. It's also one of my favorites interpretations of Damian, he gets so sweet and mature over the years that passes in the comic and his reencounter with Jason rewrote my entirety brain chemistry.

Also unfortunately it's the only time we get to see Damian and Jon growing up together :')

- DC vs Vampires ( Batfam (except Duke because the author is a coward) specially Tim & Damian / Tim & Bruce / Dick & Almost everybody )

Note: Okay this one is a fucking car ride, a rollercoaster if you will. And it's ANOTHER DC au but with yeah VAMPIRES so buckle-up.

It has major Batfam moments in the beginning and one of my favorites Damian and Tim interactions ( I'm going to reblog this with photos because Tumblr is homophobic and isn't letting me add more photos in this shit >:( ). Then it goes hard on betrayal (trying not to add spoilers) and feelings so get ready for that.

I unfortunately haven't finished (casual reader remember that) but the much I've read was really, really good.

It gets very silly very quickly as anything made with vampires generally get (unfortunately they butchered a lot of characters in the process) but if you go head empty no thoughts you're going to get a lot of fun and maybe cry a little if that gets to you.

So this is it. I'm sure it has more of it, and oh I'm sure I forgot a lot of it but those are the one's I could get from the top of my head, so I hope you and all of the people who want to follow it have fun!

Also if someone has more recommendations feel free to add on the Reblogs, I'm sure I will eat it up anyway.

#Also Batman & Robin Eternal has been sitting on my reading list for a while (lies) #I've read a couple of panels today and seems really promising a lot of Dick & Tim & Jason interactions! Harpey my dear is also there to! #so if someone wants to check go for it I for now have no idea of it's good or not #but I will (eventually (*I hope*)) #q asks #q recommendations #batfamily #batfam #dick grayson #jason todd #bruce wayne #tim drake #damian wayne #duke thomas #stephanie brown #cassandra cain #alfred pennyworth

CoD Baddies as Bears!

What if the bad guys were also bears! Part 3

See part 2 and 1 for 141 and good guys as bears

Even more bear facts because bears are love, bears are life. 🐻🐻‍❄️🧬

Makarov: Ussuri Brown Bear "Russian Grizzly Bear"

Ursus arctos lasiotus

Also known as the Ezo Brown bear or Black Grizzly bear, this subspecies of Eurasian Brown Bear is one of the largest, with some individuals approaching the Kodiak Bear in size.

Similar to the Kamchatka Brown Bear, it differs with an elongated skull, longer nasal bones, elevated forehead and is darker in colour with some individuals being pure black.

Siberian (Amur) tigers and other bears are it's only natural predators, with documented tiger and bear interspecific competitions. Ussuri brown bears will often scavenge tiger kills and or kill smaller tigers, while Tigers are known to hunt young and sub-adult bears (bears making a significant portion of their diet).

Graves: Louisiana Black Bear

Ursus americanus luteolus

A subspecies* of the American Black Bear (U. a. americanus), the Louisiana Black Bear has been historically found in Louisiana, Mississippi, East Texas and Arkansas.

It is not substantially different from the American Black Bear, though it has a longer, flatter, narrower skull and larger molars in comparison. It's colouration is typically black, though some individuals have been known to be brown/red-brown cinnamon. It is Louisiana's official state mammal.

*The validity of this subspecies has been repeatedly debated.

Valeria: Sloth Bear "Indian Bear"

Melursus ursinus

A native species to the Indian Subcontinent, this medium sized bear feeds on ants, termites and fruit. It is also called the "labiated bear" due to its long lower lip and palate which is used to eat insects.

It's fur is pure black aside from the white "Y" or "V" patch on its chest though this can be absent in some individuals. They are similar in size with the Asian Black Bear though distinguished with it's shaggy mane, white 'sickle' claws, and rangier build.

This species is the most aggressive to humans with the largest number of recorded attacks due to a combination of close human cohabitation and a theorised predisposition to aggressive behaviour from constant attacks by tigers, leopards, rhinos and elephants.

Captain Williamson in his Oriental Field Sports (1819) wrote of how sloth bears rarely killed their human victims outright, but would suck and chew on their limbs till they were reduced to bloody pulps.

They are not known to be man eaters despite attacking humans. One individual in Mysore (Mysuru), India was recorded to have killed at least 12 people and mutilated 24 before it's death in 1957.

Shepherd: Koala "Koala Bear"**

Phascolarctos cinereus

**not a bear

An arboreal marsupial native to Australia that feeds primarily on Eucalyptus leaves. Koalas are asocial with bonding only taking place between mothers and dependant offspring. They are largely sedentary and will sleep upwards to 20 hours a day.

The word "koala" came from the Dharug word "gula" - no water. The 'u' sound was originally written phonetically as 'oo' and then became 'oa'. The three syllable pronunciation may be erroneous as a result.

White settlers adopted the 'koala' indigenous loan word in reference to the animal, where it was also referred to as, the "native bear", or the "koala bear" due to its supposed bear-ish resemblance.

[scotianostra]

Anthony Robert McMillan was born on March 30th, 1950 in Rutherglen, we knew him better as Robbie Coltrane.

Robbie was educated at Glenalmond College, an independent school in Perthshire, from which he was nearly expelled after hanging the prefects' gowns from the school clocktower. Though he later described his experiences there as deeply unhappy, he played for the rugby First XV, was head of the school's debating society and won prizes for his art.

From Glenalmond, Coltrane went on to Glasgow School of Art, where he was ridiculed for "having an accent like Prince Charles" (of which he quickly disposed, though not before gaining the nickname "Lord Fauntleroy"), and thereafter the Moray House College of Education (part of the University of Edinburgh) in Edinburgh.

In the early 70's Robbie took the name Coltrane, due to his love of jazz musician John Coltrane, and began a career of a stand-up comedian at night clubs, at the Edinburgh Festival, as well as an actor with Edinburgh's renowned Traverse Theatre.

After picking up a few bit parts in films and TV series I first remember Robbie appearing in the BBC Scotland comedy sketch series A kick up the Eighties, he went on from there to appear in The Comic Strip Presents films during the 80's The Supergrass and The Pope must die being the most successful. At that time Coltrane had a drinking problem, downing as much as a bottle of whisky a day. In 1986 he flew to a clinic in Mexico and was treated for obesity. In 1987 his partner for 15 years, Robin Paine, left him for good. A year later he met Rhona Gemmell in a pub. They married and had a son, Spencer, and a daughter, Alice. His career took off during the early 1990s with the leading role as Dr. Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald, a forensic psychologist, in the popular TV series Cracker.

Coltrane is one of only a few to have played "baddies" in 2 Bond films, playing Russian mafia man Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky in GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough. He went on to play Rubeus Hagrid in seven Harry Potter films.

Robbie has also featured in factual TV series, Coltrane's Planes and Automobiles, as well as a host of other TV series, none of which, surprisingly are Taggart! He was voted No. 11 in ITV's TV's 50 Greatest Stars and sixth in a poll of 2000 adults across the UK to find the 'most famous Scot', behind the Loch Ness Monster, Robert Burns, Sean Connery, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace.

Robbie passed away on October 14th 2022, he had become a virtual recluse, living a a rented converted barn near Stirling, living off takeaways from a local Chinese. Coltrane was cremated and his family spread his ashes around several of his favourite places around Manhattan, New York.

His death certificate shows that the actor died from a string of conditions including multiple organ failure, the causes of death given were sepsis, where an infection triggers an extreme reaction throughout the body, lower respiratory tract infection and heart block.

I always loved Robbie, from his early days right through his career, it's sad when the people you grew up laughing at and enjoyed in folms and TV pass away.............Rest in Peace big man.

Slow Horses

Fave viewing over the past few years has been SLOW HORSES on AppleTV+. A spy show with all the intrigues of a John le Carré novel, but if George Smiley was written as a sarcastic smart arse and every other spy was a downbeat comedian. 

River Cartwright chased by one of ’The Dogs’.

The show focusses on spies who’ve disgraced themselves, but for various reasons can’t be set free into the wild. We are led into this espionage backwater by an earnest young spy who has become persona non grata with Mi5. His efforts to get back into the slick world of Regent’s Park puts him at the heart of the action in the series. Though he’s from Mi5 royalty (as his grandfather used to head the organisation) he’s banished to a shabby facility called Slough House. 

Lamb uses his signature flatulent power-move on Taverner. 

This kingdom of losers is ruled by Jackson Lamb, hilariously played by Gary Oldman. Famed for being a chameleon, Oldman is clearly having enormous fun here, playing this jaded old cold warrior, who doesn’t care any more. Lamb has let himself go physically, but is still mentally sharp enough to anticipate when he’s being setup. Which is often, and most likely by his Mi5 boss Diana Taverner (played with deadpan ice queen flair by Kristin Scott Thomas). Her disdain for the screwups of Slough House doesn’t stop her from using their services. These ‘Slow Horses’ are ostensibly kept on by ‘the service’ for menial jobs - filing and desk work - but they are sometimes caught up in intrigues too. Simply because Mi5 often needs fall guys.

Shirley & Marcus pinned down by The Tiger Team.

Mi5 is portrayed as a world of grasping political climbers. The higher up the political totem pole, the more damehoods & knighthoods there are. But ruthless sociopaths abound too. More than willing to sacrifice their underlings if it advances their own interests, or covers up a blunder. The traditional baddies of spy stories are here, but rather than the Russians or international terrorists, domestic political dirty dealing is responsible for most of the body count.

Min & Louisa surprise an intruder at Slough House.

For all their flaws, the Slow Horses have more decency than the ‘winners’. They are prickly & snarky characters, that are nevertheless likeable. A fave of mine is Roddy Ho, Slough House’s IT expert. His hilariously pompous dialog is brilliantly played to the smugly annoying hilt by Christopher Chung. Pint-sized firecracker Shirley Dander (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) and wily old school operative Catherine Standish (Saskia Reeves) are a couple of other faves, but honestly, all the characters have their moments. 

Roddy analyses the kidnap photo of Standish. 

The show-runner is standup comedian & writer Will Smith, who manages to deliver laughs aplenty but also real drama. Main characters can die, and probably when you’d just learned to love them. We enjoyed watching this show so much that, after finishing the 3rd season, we RE-watched the entire thing, and were entertained even more the 2nd time. 

Jackson Lamb has an ice cream.

Having just exhausted all the viewing options available, Julia & I just began the book series that the show is based on, by Mick Herron. Though many details differ, the books are remarkably similar to the TV series, tonally. Added background details to the characters & plots make them enjoyable even after seeing the show. Hopefully they will feed us enough Lamb until season 4 drops at the end of 2024.

I love many of you dearly but you are not understanding the xenophobia I am getting sent to my inbox.

The game is Russian. The game makers are Russian. They are not russian oligarchs, or oil lords, or politicians. They are Dudes That Make Games In Russia. If you still buy gas for your car, shut the fuck up, that's actual terrorism support not a russian dude making a vidja game shooting baddy soviets and featuring his boner for jensen ackles.

Stop falling into people's manufactured hysteria and concern trolling pits. It makes you inadvertently say really racist shit while convincing yourselves its some sort of Righteous Concern.

I have Russian followers. Russia is the biggest SPN audience actually more than the US. Those people don't deserve to be punished at all times just because Putin is an asshole. What the fuck.

[kaypeace21]

So ep 1-6: most of mike's scenes are having " charged heart to heart moments with Will". And Will is clearly gay and into mike- even to oblivious audience reviewers. Some reviewers even call it a "love triangle". I mean we will see, but I don't get the pessimism (just cause byler isn't cnfirmed one way or another yet, by part 1). They haven't seen part 2( which equals about 5 episodes if it were the original 45 minute runtime). Byler wouldn't be rushed... it's a slow burn.

Who knows what will happen . They could go the cliche unrequited track: but that would just be sad and an overdone trope meant to cater to straight fans. queer fans have always hated the trope. God who knows s4 may be used to subtly build up byler for the general oblivious audiences, and breakup m*leven by the end. And before byler can even officially occur Will is taken by the lab or something else- (lonnie getting custody, if joyce is stuck in russia,etc to stop momentum ) . Who knows what cliffhanger they may do to get us to watch s5 XD

Frankly I'm more worried about part 1 reviews- in terms of plot. Cause the reviews are all over the place. Like very mixed reactions to the russian subplot.And Like ... be worried sbp's storyline is possibly minor and jonathan, Will,and mike may be neglected plot wise and apparently "sidelined' . And their subplot isn' t deep and doesn't explore their tra*ma/feelings more . I guess that could change in part 2- especially if the gov baddies aren't just after el. That could be a twist... and ofcourse if the sbp gang does face vecna too, we may see a darker plotline emerge for the sbp group in part 2. Several movies hint jonathan and Will may deal with vecna visions...

[ichayalovesyou]

Loving your Goncharov posts. Can’t wait for your Goncharov playlist. Who would you cast if making Goncharov today?

Oooh! That’s a toughy! I’ll do my best!

Goncharov: Oscar Isaac

Period drama with protagonist with a moral corruption arc, a looming sense of doom, a really frayed but sexy fucked up relationship with his wife while also coming off as incredibly bisexual? Who else could you POSSIBLY want?!

Mario: James Frain

He’s a conniving boot licker in Tron: Legacy as Jarvis, and a stone cold bitch as Sarek in the new Star Trek shows, Mario is somewhere in that ballpark so why not?!

Andrey: Michael Fassbender

Fassbender is sooooo good at simultaneously being extremely emotionally raw and cold and calculating and I swear to gawd if that ain’t Andrey he’s soooooo, gawd, such a juicy role. Plus I think it would be sick to see Oscar and Michael chew on the scenery together and be well… Like That. As Goncharov and Andrey

Michailov: Adrien Brody

I’ve said before that I’d love to see a Wes Anderson take in these film and Adrien Brody is in like all of Anderson’s movies and he’s always playing stuck up little hard asses like Katya’s brother so I think that works super well!

Katya: Elle Fanning

MAN I love Elle Fanning I can’t tell you how much I need this. Between the Maleficent films and also THE GREAT (she’s already a Russian aristocrat I mean come ON) she could totally pull the ‘disillusioned old money trophy wife’ thing easy! I NEED her to be Katya I neeeeeeeed it!!

Sofia: Jesse James Keitel

I mean… just LOOK at her??? Amazing, hardened chaotic and queer tough chick I mean please, Keitel can and has absolutely ROCKED that shit and would do it again, Captain Angel but make it 1970s mafia sapphic I mean that’s just CORRECT

Ice Pick Joe: Steve Buscemi

I know he doesn’t do a lot of on camera stuff anymore but god this man is so good in Fargo and I love it when he plays baddies and I think he could really lean into Joe’s homicidal tendencies with that sly voice I associate with Randall from Monsters Inc who also spooked me as a kid.

#this was fun and much harder than I anticipated #the only roles I’m really confident about honestly are Katya and Sofia I flip flopped a lot for everyone else #it also was hard because I haven’t been watching a lot of American/British cinema lately #so it’s been like #ah fuck all these conventional attractive bitches that I’ve seen in things who are they again?! #lmao #not trek #fan cast #goncharov 1973 #Goncharov #mario ambrosini #andrey daddano #katya goncharova #valery michailov #goncharov sofia #ice pick Joe #oscar isaac #Elle fanning #michael fassbender #James frain #jesse james keitel #steve buscemi #adrien brody #wes anderson #martin scorsese #unreality

[waluigis-837th-testicle]

more fluffy nyo rusame thoughts since yall liked the last one so much

Anya mandating when they watch movies. makes alfred sit down to watch cheesy new year and Christmas movies with her.

"All they're doing is yelling."

"yes! it is russian rom-com!"

also makes him change clothes before they go to the ethnic grocery store because she will not be embarrassed in front of the checkout girl no way no how alfred put on this calvin klein outfit you dress like old man on golf course.

Anya has a million petnames for Alfred. Fedka. Fedya. Milyi (sweetie). Daragoi (dearest).

if, for some reason, alfred has Fucked Up he does the only reasonable thing and hands over his MasterCard. she proceeds to drain his bank account at the Gucci store and treats her sisters to lunch.

Alfred knows how to braid hair and helps Anya braid her hair into high-fantasy princess styles.

"you look like a game of thrones character!!"

"i want to be the dragon girl."

"oh you're definitely the dragon girl"

they!!! talk!!! about!!! space!!!! a LOT!!!!

honestly them stargazing someplace in Montana on a road trip sounds....so fucking good. G O D

alfred is still mourning pluto. anya thinks he's silly. alfred mourns harder

they both have huge sweet tooths.

they would share a dessert with two spoons but let's face it, they're both too greedy for that shit.

i feel like they're both gamers. they visit each other's minecraft farms and animal crossing villages :')

me n the wife cuddlin in the gamer chair

one time alfred made anya hot cocoa when she was on her period and she cried :')

she's not used to people being nice to her like that

"is that :'( whipped cream?"

"yeah, do you not like it? jeez, i didn't mean to make you cry i can make another batch if you want"

"no :') it's perfect"

anya is taller than alfred i do not make the rules

how comically large the size difference is between them depends on you

she still steals his clothes :3 her favorite is this red flannel with a detachable hood that smells like him

and yes. she's sent him nudes with her wearing it

alfred gases her up when she's about to go out. whether it's for a business trip or a girl's night, he wants her to know that she looks like a baddy and he's proud of her

more often than not he's her photographer for nights when she wants to post selfies

once when Alfred is having a bad day, Anya constructed a pillowfort and they binge-watched the Star Wars prequels and cuddled in it. Alfred got to have his hair played with (WITH acrylic nails) while lying on the softest boobs this side of the prime meridian. to say he was in paradise was a gross understatement

in the same vein, they're both HUGE fans of any and all kinds of sci-fi. Star Wars, Isaac Asimov's writings, Battlestar Galactica, Planet of Storms, Solaris, ANYTHNG by Ursula K. Le Guin, etc.

honestly?? they just really love and respect each other. girlboss x malewife but they're both autistic nerds who love the sky and Hershey's chocolate. we stan

whats your top 5 characters of All time? uwu

of ALL time?! this is crazyyyy Mai! i have had so many beloved blorbos. but OK. let me give this a shot

hange zoe (attack on titan) - first time i was ever able to look at a character and say omg that is me. literally me. and then it turned out she/he is also a genderfluid baddie? fucking sold. will live in my heart forever

darlene alderson (mr robot) - for years i did my best to emulate darlene's bad bitch fashion style but also just ... first time i was able to look at a female character and just went yes!!! she's crazy she's flawed she hates capitalism and she is just amazing and complex. 11/10 would not change her for anything in the world

sasuke uchiha (naruto) - another INSANEEE bitch. i know he's a recent blorbo but truly ... will live in my head rent free forever. it's funny because i disliked him at first, like throughout most of the og naruto!! and then i fell in love w him when i saw him being a bad bitch in shippuden and my understanding of him just clicked after a certain scene lol.

eddie kaspbrak (it) - i love him so much. clung to this little guy during tough period of my life dealing w/ anxiety. characters choosing love to overcome fear every day my beloveds

ivan karamazov (the brothers karamazov) - not a fandom blorbo but i get him and he is mine and if i project my existential anguish onto a character from a 19th century russian novel that i actually learned about through a spn fanfiction when i was 12yo well then. that is between me and god

Oh for fuck's sake...

After months and years of attacking the West and the rest of Europe and blaming both and being pretending we are the big baddie ... Russia's new Propaganda strategy is now being all like "We shouldn't fight. ❤️", "Only love. ❤️", "Don't hate Russians because we all live in Europe and we are all Europeans and believe in Europe and European values. ❤️" and "Remember the hate in WW1 and WW2. 😭 A whole generation fought and hated and lost their lives. A whole generation is now lost because we now hate each other again. We should remember our brotherhood. ❤️"

(no direct quotes, paraphrased what they say)

Yeah...

Um...

How do I say this as politely as possible?

Fuck off.

No one wants you as part of the European family. Absolutely no one. You're like that one awful family member who always insults everybody and is violent.

So fuck off.

As far away as possible.

Fuck off.

You can come back when you're dead and your ancestors healed and actually believe in Europe and European values. But until then ... no, just no.

#the amount of people who actually believe that Propaganda is astonishing #guys we dont fall for russian bullshit #its just Propaganda #they are not serious #they just try to undermine the unity against russia and the united help for ukraine becauss Russia is losing and fucked #dont fall for this bullshit

[headingalaxys-spicy]

Could I request a yandere? Alpha Russia with a feisty and bratty omega? Like I need to know what that would look like 💀 ignore this if you dont wanna though 😇

Hello! I love doing asks when I’m not busy as heck at work. I enjoy the escapism. 🌟 Hope you enjoy this and have a great Saturday or Sunday ☀️🌙

Hahahah in order for Ivan to deal with a super bratty Omega. He is all about dominance to the highest degree with little room for disobedience to be. That or occasionally he can be masochistic, had too much vodka, or he lost a bet to Alpha! Ruler Spain. This time Spain has chosen something that gets under Ivan’s skin immensely: having to date someone with the qualities he despises …. Demanding, disobedient, and bossy.

Antonio lights up a cigarette and takes a long drag before exhaling a cloud of smoke that reaches Ivans imposing nose. Antonio grabs a picture from his suit pants pocket and hands him a picture of you a medium sized omega that had a thing for Sanrio’s Kuromi, Choco Cat, and Badtz Maru. Just judging from the characters you aesthetically idolized he knew you were a self proclaimed ‘princess’ or ‘baddie’ or whatever that deserved respect and special privileges. His eyes rolled to the back of his head in disbelief.

“This is joke, da?”

“No, mi amigo. You got to do it. She’ll be at the Armada mall later today with her group of hive minded omegas that linger on her every word. So go get her and you have to date her for at least a month. Then I’ll bring back those trading deal negotiations and give you two ports where my authorities will turn a blind eye to.” He dangles your picture right in front of his agitated violet eyes.

With a labored sigh Ivan takes it and grabs his black military coat. He heads out into the overcast afternoon and gets into his Chauffeur.

“Where to sir?”

“The Armada mall, please.”

***********

It didn’t take long for the Russian and his height to find the adorable decked out in black lace and devil like bunny ears Omega leading her little pack. As he approached their group he could hear her endlessly babbling about her latest buys: 10-ft plushies straight from the Sanrio store.

‘She looks like she matches the definition of ‘brat’ and her tone sounds like chalk on a black board. Spain better be ready to hand over a free bottle of vodka and I might also ask him for confidential documents he may have on France and Prussia.’

Ivan takes in a deep breath and prepares himself for a rough few weeks.

‘At least charming them will be easy.’

With his formidable figure. He stood at 6’5, He had husky ears that stood high in attention, and with a white and gray brushtail that was an impressive 3 feet when pointed out from his back. It didn’t take long for them to notice the Alpha pheromones mixed in with his “Ciel de Gum” cologne The thick notes of spicy cinnamon and the woody scent of the Russian woods in early winter demanded the attention of the bratty omega and her entourage.

You allowed your eyes to wander up to the incoming distraction. You raised your eyebrow interest and thought to yourself how you could possibly-

“If you think you can control me, nyet. Small brat. But, I will treat you well if you can at least control some of your unsavory tendencies.”

A smirk graced your cute but devious face. You could at least try your hand at toying with him, even though Antonio told you that sort of thing wasn’t advised. Maybe you could at least get some decent pampering for a few weeks could be nice even if you did have to give yourself to him from time to time. Not bad and you did have a fun life to get back to since your new promotion would allow you to travel, write, and even have free time.

“Alright then Master Braginski~” You coo at him in a witchy way and do a cute curtsey. You were going to do your best to push all of his buttons.

Ivan pulls out a 24-Karat gold collar that has an amethyst adorning the front of it for you to wear.

“Well you’re going to need to keep this on at all times and I have the appropriate attire that you will be wearing that I want you to be in.”

Suddenly there were a few different Beta’s dressed in gray or black maid’s uniforms surrounding you and your group of Omega’s.

“It’s time for your sycophants to leave you. You have a learning curve to get over.”

Shaking all four disbanded quickly. They knew better than to get in the way of an Alpha and his probably larger entourage that was likely nearby.

“Pushy. Looks like I really am dealing with someone who really has a stick up their ass.” You say smugly while crossing your arms.

“Dammit Antonio.” Ivan pinches the bridge of his nose in frustration. After a few moments of trying to calm his nerves he simply snaps his fingers and the Beta’s who are stronger than they looked grabbed you tightly by the ears.

“What the hell put me down! I’m your supposed lover or whatever!”

“Yes, but I own you. Lover = Object in this scenario. Since you're an Omega. Also your appearance is not to my liking. You need to be groomed properly if I’m going to be seen out in public with you.”

You were soon dragged off to Ivan’s immaculate townhouse that he had within the city. You were impressed but not amused with the situation that you were currently in. You wanted to realtor back in anger but Ivan showed you real quick in the car that he doesn't tolerate bullshit. He had bitten the side of your neck harshly after you had fought him while he tried to put the collar on you. Quite a bit of blood came dribbling from your neck and flesh had been damaged in the process. It would take you up until the end of this whole month-long ordeal for it to heal. You were going to have to swallow your pride, anger, and humiliation in order to survive but, not just that. You were going to figure him out and learn what makes him tick and then take him down.

“Sunflower, your angry face is cute but you're still bleeding and getting your blood on the marble floors. It will look like a murder scene in here.” He scolds lightly but does give you the stern look that demands that you listen or else the consequences will be worse than what happened in the car.

You roll your eyes but head over to him anyways.

“Sit , flower I need to disinfect the bite, da?” He had the medical alcohol out along with cotton balls and bandages. You sit in front of his giant figure and you allow his nimble but thick hands to help clean your bite mark wound. He purposefully will be a little rough and apply too much rubbing alcohol onto your wounds just to make sure it hurts.

You sucked in a really sharp breath and he cleaned the last hole that was leaking out blood and applied the long cotton bandage that would wrap around the nape of your neck.

“Asshole.” You hiss out.

Ivan pressed down hard on one of the bite mark openings.

“Ah!” You slink away only to be tripped by his tree trunk like leg. You let out a frightened squeak and you tumbled towards the floor. Just 5 cm before your face collided with the hard marble floor Ivan had caught you by the waist.

“Your resistance will make your time here difficult. You might want to drop your ‘baddie’ persona or whatever. Now come, time to get you cleaned up for dinner.” And with that statement he marches you to the tub room while you still have a scowl permanently etched onto your face.

Robbie Coltrane, the Scottish actor and comedian would have been 73 today.

When the people you have grown up admiring and laughing at pass away it makes you think about your own mortality, ut also leaves a hole in life, Robbie for me was a tremendous man, going from stand up comic, to respected actor during his life, he was a very funny and genuine guy.

Born as  Anthony Robert McMillan  on March 30th, 1950 in Rutherglen, Robbie was educated at Glenalmond College, an independent school in Perthshire, from which he was nearly expelled after hanging the prefects’ gowns from the school clocktower. Though he later described his experiences there as deeply unhappy, he played for the rugby First XV, was head of the school’s debating society he also won prizes for his art.

From Glenalmond, Coltrane went on to Glasgow School of Art, where he was ridiculed for “having an accent like Prince Charles” (of which he quickly disposed, though not before gaining the nickname “Lord Fauntleroy”), and thereafter the Moray House College of Education (part of the University of Edinburgh) in Edinburgh.

In the early 70’s Robbie took the name Coltrane, due to his love of jazz musician John Coltrane, and began a career of a stand-up comedian at night clubs, at the Edinburgh Festival, as well as an actor with Edinburgh’s renowned Traverse Theatre.

After picking up a few bit parts in films and TV series I first remember Robbie appearing in the BBC Scotland comedy sketch series A kick up the Eighties, as seen in the clips below

Robbie then went to appear in The Comic Strip Presents films  during the 80’s  The Supergrass and The Pope Must Die being the most successful. At that time Coltrane had a drinking problem, downing as much as a bottle of whisky a day. In 1986 he flew to a clinic in Mexico and was treated for obesity. In 1987 his partner for 15 years, Robin Paine, left him for good. A year later he met Rhona Gemmell in a pub. They married and had a son, Spencer, and a daughter, Alice. His career took off during the early 1990s with the leading role as Dr. Eddie “Fitz” Fitzgerald, a forensic psychologist, in the popular TV series Cracker.

Coltrane is one of only a few to have played “baddies” in two Bond films, playing Russian mafia man Valentin Dmitrovich Zukovsky in GoldenEye and The World Is Not Enough. He went on to play Rubeus Hagrid in seven Harry Potter films. Robbie has also featured in factual TV series, Coltrane’s Planes and Automobiles, as well as a host of other TV series, none of which, surprisingly are Taggart! He was voted No. 11 in ITV’s TV’s 50 Greatest Stars and sixth in a poll of 2000 adults across the UK to find the ‘most famous Scot’, behind the Loch Ness Monster, Robert Burns, Sean Connery, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace.

Robbie picked his appearances carefully after he had undergone surgery on a replacement knee after suffering from chronic pain for years. He lost over 7 stone after in 2016 after doctors warned him not slimming down could leave him a “cripple”.  Robbie spent his final years in “constant pain” after his knee cartilage disintegrated. He told the Daily Express in one of his last interviews in 2020: 

“I was fighting pain 24 hours a day when I was in ‘National Treasure’ and ‘Great Expectations I had no cartilage in my knee. It was bone on bone.”, he found some relief after receiving joint surgery in America.

n 2020: “I was fighting pain 24 hours a day when I was in ‘National Treasure’ and ‘Great Expectations’. He added at the time: “It was just horrible. The relief from that pain since the operation and being able to sleep has changed my life.” Going on to say he wouldn’t wish such pain "on [his] worst enemy,"

Robbie passed away on October 14th 2022, he had become a virtual recluse, living a a rented converted barn near Stirling, living off takeaways from a local Chinese. Coltrane was cremated and his family spread his ashes around several of his favourite places around Manhattan, New York.

His  death certificate shows that the actor died from a string of conditions including multiple organ failure, the causes of death given were sepsis, where an infection triggers an extreme reaction throughout the body, lower respiratory tract infection and heart block.

Jess Watches // Mon 23 Oct // Day 34 Synopses & Favourite Scenes

Lupin (avec maman) 3x04 Chapter 4

Assane meets his mother's captor in the flesh, but there's no sign of her. Tasked with another all-or-nothing heist, he makes a devastating choice.

I really didn't think Assane would go through with the captor's demands. How did he not have another exit strategy for his best friend/ partner in crime?? But I did love Claire snooping in the library. She's getting warmer.

Derry Girls (rewatching with mum) 1x04 Episode 4

Erin is so excited that teenage Katya 'a child of Chernobyl' is coming to stay, but Katya is not exactly grateful to be in Derry; there are developments in Granda Joe's love life.

Whigfield and Gina G played in the same ep. What a treat to 90's baby me. I can just about remember the dances. Also, felt very validated by Orla's choice of sweets, Fruit Pastilles, and her obsession with the chocolate fountain.

The Consultant 1x07 Elephant

Patoff continues to meddle between Patti and Craig. Elaine prepares to carry out a wild publicity stunt per Patoff's insistence. Craig and Amy track where Patoff goes every day but wind up with more questions instead of answers.

I was so relieved Patti wasn't in the portaloo, but then dreaded finding her tied up the basement. But she was just click clacking away on his typewriter?? What even is this show lol

Sin huellas (No Traces) 1x02 Basura

Desi and Cata try to give the Russians their money back, but they want something more: their heads. Desperate, they ask Irene, the cop handling the case and Desi's ex-girlfriend, for help.

[frisks you in spanish]

The Uncanny Counter 2x12 Episode 12 (Season Finale)

The Counters give it their all to fight the mighty Pil Gwang. Will Ju Seok be able to overcome his demons and put an end to this life-or-death battle?

I'm so happy they retconned Ms. Chu diminishing her lifespan every time she heals someone because she had lots to do after the big fight. Were the baddies at the end the stunt doubles for the main cast? If so, that was a very cool nod to their hard work this season. And the counters looked very dapper in their suits.
