So many god!Percy Jackson fics but none of them include "Supreme Lord of the Bathroom" as one of his epithets...

Exclusive Preview Image from today's X-Men Monday, with Steve Foxe

source here

The interview itself is about current and upcoming projects Foxe is doing, such as the X-Men '97 prequel mini, Blood Hunt Psylocke, and Dead X-Men.

But I'm really interested in this preview panel, which shows Sabretooth presumably on the ruins of Krakoa (at least, it looks like Krakoa to me, the weird tree-tunnels are distinct) searching for something using Quire as a guide.

Maybe its a Cerebro cradle?!?!!

It would explain the brain-breaking events indicated in the upcoming issues. Logan still has pretty strong telepathic resistance, so it'd make sense that Creed would seek out something strong enough to get into his head.

#perhaps I'm grasping at straws here #but a cerebro cradle WOULD also mean resurrection is back on the table #relatively speaking #just need some bodies #we already got a telepath in Phoebe Cuckoo #weirder stuff has happened its totally doable #still holding out my hopes #anyway #sabretooth #victor creed #wolverine #x-men #x-men 97 #dead-x-men #x-men monday

I saw a post talking about Grani/Skadi so now it’s on my mind

I still really like Skadi and Grani’s dynamic, Grani even has a line about her. I was super happy to see Grani show up in a light spark in darkness, though I’d enjoy seeing her show up a bit more, she was one of my early faves along with Skadi

The real thing we need though, is to complete the set by getting an event that has Gladiia saddled with an enthusiastic/idealistic younger fighter since Skadi has Grani and Laurentina has Irene, characters that have their own stories sure, but also serve as a “normal” foil to show how beyond fucked up the Hunters are

Give the swordfish her own Fruit

#arknights #mostly because I think seeing how Gladiia handles that situation would be hilarious #it’s why I sometimes stick her with Susie in my head after using her to support my Hunter squad in game #I like to think what the Hunters have going on is it’s own accepted Thing #and they each individually have their own relationships outside of it #Gladiia DOES have Kal’tsit which is funny on its own because in that one Gladiia is the young stubborn warrior #relatively speaking

Leaving Teeth Marks

Here at BadPosture studio, it’s always Rinharu propaganda hour. And by "propaganda," I mean reading canon material as plain proof that Rin and Haru are stupid about each other. While the content of the mooks are dreams the characters have, (which take place within the Future Fish AU), they’re nevertheless revealing of their feelings towards each other in the main story. All but the final mook can be read in sequence, which is to say they could reasonably follow the same chronology. The Rin/Haru story is reflective of kid Rin’s perspective, whereas the rest of the mooks depict him in a way closer to his behaviour as a teenager. Despite the disparity between Rin’s attitude towards Haru in mooks 4 and 5, one thing remains the same: Rin wants a bite of Haru.

So…what does this mean? A literal reading is obvious. I mean, really, how much more intimate can a person get than acquainting their mouth with the crook of someone else’s neck? To gain half-fish powers in mook 5, Rin could have drawn blood from virtually anywhere on Haru’s body, but he opts to stick his head in between the bars of the cell to bite down on Haru’s neck. In mook 4, when Nagisa asks Rin what he’d do if he were to catch Haru, he says he’d have “a taste.” Then he elaborates, saying, “That merman is my prey. One of these days, I’ll catch him by his tail and make him mine.”

…Half-fish or not…saying you want to make a person yours? Seriously, if Rin didn’t mean it that way, then why does he say it so sexy? …I’m losing focus here!

The emotional climax of mook 5 is when Haru asks Rin why he’s so determined to show him sights he’s never seen before, and Rin tells him it’s because he wants to share the things he loves with someone else—perhaps because half-fish Haru likely never had those experiences before, or perhaps because Rin didn’t want Haru to resign to simply existing and nothing more. By the end of the story, these feelings are obviously reciprocated, with Haru promising to share sights of his own. Rin likely recruited Haru for their elementary school relay with the same goal in mind—here was someone amazing he wanted to share experiences with. So, whether we read the biting thematically or literally, Rin wants to leave his mark on Haru. In both the main story and mook 5, it was love at first sight for Rin, which is to say that he’s been Haru’s since the day they met.

Taking Haru by the tail and making him his is not unlike Rin initiating the kabedon in season 1 and telling Haru to swim for him. The operative words “mine” and “for” are decidedly much more proprietary than swimming/sharing a dream with Haru. And this is because Rin’s fixation on Haru was perverted into something much more desperate and selfish as he got older. After all, he didn’t quit swimming as a kid because he lost to Haru after being abroad for a year, he quit because despite their separation Haru was able to move on and continue improving while Rin wasn’t. Believing that the effect Haru had on him was one-sided—that Haru didn’t need him and faired no better or worse whether he was around or not—made Rin want to take away the power Haru had over him and use it against him instead.

Of course, Rin had it right the first time. Haru does feel the same way and would, in fact, welcome Rin to make himself at home in the crook of his neck. Incidentally, every time they’ve hugged it out, Rin has propped his chin on the same shoulder he dreamt of sinking his teeth into. Maybe it isn’t such unfamiliar territory after all. Maybe it’s exactly where he belongs.

Has Hermione set Snape of fire in Lionheart?

so no actually! reason being that in this universe, draco doesn't steal neville's remembrall ==> harry doesn't catch it ==> mcgonagall doesn't notice and override the first-year rule ==> harry doesn't make the quidditch team until second year tryouts + quirrell never jinxes harry's broom, meaning hermione never mistakes it for snape and sets him on fire (and accidentally distracting quirrell in the process). The bluebell flames that she conjures in Chapter 48 are a nod to that episode, and an establishing moment that she does know how to conjure them, she just hasn't used them offensively. (Yet).

i actually adore the bluebell flames as a motif, because (1) hermione is the only person we see in the series to conjure them, suggesting they're either something she came up with herself or it's an obscure variant of a flame-conjuring spell that she's fond of for personal reasons. but then also, (2) they're such a potentially rich symbol: it's fire, with all the connotations of warmth and bravery and ferocity and unhinged danger, but it's blue, which is associated with coldness, clarity, beauty, water. and then there's the fact that blue flames are used as visual shorthand (not necessarily realistically, but there you are) for being hotter than normal flames. it's so cool.

and like, it's not just "blue" flames, it's "bluebells," which are a kind of hyacinth — kids, never ever use a floral color descriptor around a flower nerd — but the word "hyacinth" comes from the Greek myth of Hyacinthus, a lover of the sun God, Apollo, who kills Hyacinthus by accident. and when he can't bring Hyacinthus back, he grows these blue flowers that are shaped like Hyacinthus's hair to remind him of his lover. and for Hermione, I think there's something resonant about loving someone so powerful and strong they can't help but hurt you; about being a mortal, and therefore expendable, because you don't have the right blood, and how that subjects you to violence even by people who try to care about you and protect you. and we could set up all kinds of parallels between Apollo and Harry, or even Ron, and not to get on my bullshit about how hermione is underappreciated in the original books but she IS—

but anyway. hey. do you know what the Greek epithet "Hyacinthine" means? Curly-haired.

#interestingly #this is the first of two times that the lionheart divergence ends up preventing a quidditch-related peril for harry #the second is in year two. because dobby never overhears lucius discussing his plans to go after harry #he doesn't think to stop harry from going to school #so there's no marge incident #flying car incident #or rogue bludger #harry's second year is actually pretty quiet #relatively speaking #draco's going through it obviously but when is he not #lionheart spoilers #lionheart #greenteacup asks

Rise fandom, I have a question.

Had Future!Leo been the one to go back to the past, do you think he'd harbor animosity toward his younger self for causing the kraang apocalypse or would he try encourage him to be a better leader and also share his wisdom with him and the younger turtles? Plus, would he also become some sort of big brother figure to the younger bros?
