Unpopular Phase 4 & 5 Opinions

Quantumania is the worst Phase 4/5 movie. And it wasn’t even because “kang got beat by ants.” (I liked kang in this movie). It’s just that the Spy Kids aesthetic & bad acting & overall weird vibes just weren’t for me.

Love and Thunder is no worse than Ragnarok. I would argue that it’s better in a lot of ways, actually. I really liked it.

Taika Waititi ruined thor with bad humour all the way back in Ragnarok tbh, but y’all weren’t complaining about it then 😒.

BuckySarah is better than sambucky every day of the week.

The Marvels was a good ass movie & they’re one of my favorite teams in the mcu. I’ll never forgive cbm sites & online dudebros for killing the hype from the moment the film was announced.

I adore America Chavez & Kamala Kahn and I want to see them in everything. They must be protected at all costs.

Multiverse of Madness had shitty characterisation & basically just copy-pasted the ‘grief made me go off the deep end & hurt people, then I realised and stopped myself’ storyline from Wandavision… but Wanda was extremely selfish & apathetic to other people’s suffering from the time she was introduced in the mcu. MoM didn’t make her like that.

Wanda should’ve been looking for Vision (her actual real life boyfriend whom she spent years with irl) in MoM instead of the kids that weren’t even real that she spent like a week using as characters in her sitcom.

Making everyone forget Peter Parker wasn’t profound or poetic in any way- it was just frustrating and needlessly cruel.

I’m begging marvel to understand that heroes don’t have to be in constant suffering to be heroic & villains don’t have to sacrifice themselves to achieve redemption. Let characters heal and atone, you absolute weirdos.

What If…? is the most boring show ever. I’d rather watch Secret Invasion or She-Hulk.

Season 2 of Loki is, in a cinematic & artistic sense, the best marvel project period.

Loki season 1 was meh- more of a fun au than anything because his characterisation kinda sucked. Season 2 fixed it, though, and made it way easier for me to incorporate this version of Loki back into the larger mcu.

Having Steve stay in the past with Peggy was stupid af.

I don’t hate Peggy (or Captain Carter), though. I actually think she’s pretty cool.

I don’t really love Steve. He’s arrogant & they never really let him have flaws & something about him being a perfect metaphor for the American military industrial complex (and marvel painting that as a good thing) doesn’t sit right with me.

The Illuminati got done dirty and the only reason they went down so fast was because Wanda had all that plot armor.

I thought the retcon of having Wanda be “destined” to become the Scarlet Witch since birth was an annoying cop-out. Her powers originating from being experimented on with an infinity stone was way more interesting.

Loki & Wanda have almost the exact same powers.

Nebula deserved a bigger rule in killing Thanos & everything else moving forward.

I love Kathryn Newton but her acting as Cassie Lang was the worst acting I’ve ever seen in the mcu, like it was outrageously bad.

I’m glad Sam is the new Captain America and not Bucky.

The fact that Bucky probably isn’t gonna be one of Thee lead characters in the upcoming avengers movies feels sick and twisted.

Secret Invasion was actually passable until the G’iah scene at the end. That ruined it. And Nick Fury deserved way better for his solo series.

Kang is so much more interesting than Doctor Doom. I really hope they just recast him.

Carol Danvers does NOT deserve the hate she gets.

I actually disliked Carol until The Marvels. That movie made me a stan.

The way people treat Monica as Wanda’s little inferior pet creation or smth & then brag about it is uhh very sus.

I don’t like sylvie (bc she’s an amalgamation of 3 different comic characters- which killed any hopes of them appearing individually in the mcu, the creators used her existence to butcher Loki’s genderfluid rep, & she was written poorly) & I HATE sylki (bc it’s weird & unnecessary).

Marvel isn’t dead. I actually love where they’re taking things. But that’s just me.

You're probably getting bombarded with asks right now so sorry to add to the clutter - but I am a huge rock nerd - that goes beyond like Steven Universe and Houseki no Kuni. So I just want to share some stones and stuff that have cool properties and maybe could provide some inspiration (mainly tho so I can list off rock facts)

Mercury: Mohs 3.5, Toughness: Brittle - Malleable. Technically Mercury is always found in it's liquid form unless amalgamated with other elements, etc. But Mercury actually can be solidified, creating a "rock" with a 3.5 Mohs scale. What's interesting about this is that this solid Mercury produces an awful echo-screeching sound when bent. Idk how this would apply for a SU One Piece Character, but having the abilities to liquify, solidify, as well as being a very heavy metal which corrodes or amalgamates with many other rocks, a character like this would be a difficult opponent, or a powerful ally.

Calsilica: This ones funny because it's not a natural gem, and has an extensive history of people trying to claim that it is. Rather, Calsilica can be made from the run off byproducts in plastic, epoxy, wax, etc, condensed so hard it becomes a rock. I've had character ideas of this kind being a gem who either feels like they're lesser for being man-made, or even having imposter syndrome.

Painite: Mohs 7.5-8, tough. An incredibly rare, red-orange gem, which though is a lesser "hardness" then diamond, could easily break or shatter one.

That's another interesting thing about diamonds that was less included in the show, but they are very brittle - while sapphires, rubies, jade may be of a lesser Mohs scale, they could easily crush a diamond. Especially Jade. Jade may be one of the toughest, naturally occurring gemstones out there (hence why there are so many carvings made out of it) and can even be stronger than steal, also with no known cleavage point (point where the gemstone easily fractures most) it's a kind durable to both blunt and pin-point force.

Rutile: Rutile itself can be pretty thin and weak, but they usually occur inside of other gemstones, as needle-like fractals and growths. Their possibilities are endless and they're gorgeous. Hundreds of gem kinds can be "rutilated".

Carbyne: The. Strongest. Material. Known to man. Taking Graphenes place. I have OC's made of this, but the possibilities for character development are endless. Because, technically, only a 100 atoms of carbyne exist. They have to be contained by a graphene tube in order to stay in existence. These could be extremely powerful characters, but say their outer coating of graphene is gone? They'll vaporize. Carbyne, Graphene, and Buckminsterfullerene are all in the carbon family along with diamonds, and so modern experimentation has led to their creations, and thus, gemstones both harder and tougher than any diamond.

Though, having said all that stuff about diamonds, there is one kind that is incredibly difficult to shatter and that is Bort or Bortz. It's technically a term for any diamond that isn't jewel-grade, or natural diamond, used for cutting tools and abrasives, but as a gemstone, it would be the top tier of diamonds. Their crystal structure is smaller than a normal diamond and so blows or damage are spread out evenly through the material, rather than a regular diamond which will often take force over one point of cleavage and completely shatter.

Ok I will be quiet now I've literally been typing this for more than an hour - I just love gem Au's and your designs especially. Idk if you've heard of Houseki no Kuni but it's basically a manga/show where the characters are completely made out of the gemstones, unlike being manifestations of light in Steven Universe. I'm working on a fic/head canon au of HNK One Piece characters (once again because I'm a rock nerd)

Good lord. That's a lot of rock facts.

I def will be using this information in the future so I'm posting this as future reference/ getting this long thing outta my inbox/ showing everyone else these rock facts

Thanks for the ask and tips!

If you don't mind me asking what gave you the inspiration for this au I'm trying to do a alternate universe dimension theory and could use some advice please

I’ll be honest, I always have trouble answering this question.

There’s seldom a single thing/media/event that inspires me. In fact, it’s more like... I always have ideas? It’s just a matter of whether or not I work on them.

I watched SU and I was just constantly thinking ‘what if’ and all of those ideas were AUs, in a way. But I didn’t really think them worth much, until we got Legs from Here to Homeworld, and I got swept up in the mystery and intrigue of White Diamond.

There wasn’t really inspiration beyond that. I just thought ‘what if she had a son instead of Rose?’ and went from there. Everything else that counts as ‘inspiration’ is just an amalgamation of things I love and constantly feature in my works.

I think if you’re looking for ‘inspiration’ you’re actually less likely to find it. It’s better to just watch/read things for what they are and just enjoy them. The inspiration will come when you least expect it!

They do use just Fusion in dragon ball z fics too, so even though they and the ones SU fics use probably show up in the Alt universe - fusion tag, the important thing is what it conveys to the person looking in pla fics. It's not perfect, but it's what works best I think? That tag is kind of a mess anyway, I don't think you'd be adding too much to the chaos lol. Undertale has an amalgamation tag too, and you could probably get away with putting it as amalgamation au without it showing up in that tag (not that there are many so I don't think it'd really matter, probably nobody is looking in just that tag, they're adding it to their undertale search). You definitely picked a concept that's not easy to put into just one or three words lol, it's like the opposite of a bodyswap and there's definitely no tag for that

yeahhh i'll probably just go with fusion au i guess. it's sure not perfect but you're right, it gets the general vibe across

#the nemesis speaks #the nemesis answers #anonymous #SIGH #alright i gotta go to bed #warden fusion au

It's that time of the year again and this is my SXX Exchange letter! Just keep scrolling if u see this on the dashboard!

Hello, nameless friend! (And hello mod who might check this for matching reasons!) Thank you for joining me at the Yi City campfire! The following novella contains some hopefully helpful information on what to get at the farmers' market and inspiration for what you could make for dinner. I hope you won't have to threaten any potato merchants! ||-)

General DNW:

Incest (Mentions of Jin Guangyao and Qin Su are okay, but nothing explicit, please.)

Anything to do with age play or DDLG

Explicit underage sex or adult/underage relationships

Noncon between the main ship if there’s a happy ending

A/B/O or animalistic traits

Bathroom kinks or emetophilia

Feminisation as a kink

Pregnancy

Infidelity

PWP (I’m a lesbian and don’t enjoy porn about men for the porn’s sake, so I prefer my smut plotty/with a focus on feelings.)

Quick “fixes” for disabilities (e.g. Song Lan magically getting a new tongue instead of learning how to speak without one)

First person POV or POV switches within the same scene (I’m always confused when that happens. POV switches in separate scenes are very cool tho!)

A’ight here come the oddly specific ones:

Violent sex or sexy punching/fistfighting/whatever you call that, especially involving Song Lan. (Rough sex is fine, especially between Xuexiao!) Generally, portrayals of Song Lan as an aggressive or violent person are not my vibe.

Fics set in the US.

Mean Dom (or generally mean) Xiao Xingchen or Song Lan. (Xue Yang can be as mean as he likes. He’s a free spirit who does what he wants.)

Exclusive sub Xue Yang.

General likes:

Mysophobic Song Lan

Blind Xiao Xingchen

Xue Yang being a terrible person <3

A-Qing is one of my favourite characters in MDZS and I adore her (potential) dynamics with all of the Yi City boys, so if she fits into the story/art, I’d love to see her!

Closed triangle SXX :,) <3

Songxiao’s BDE (Big Divorced Energy), no matter whether they’re exes or still/back together.

I periodically go feral over how Songxue spent all those years together in Yi City and thus probably know each other pretty well, and how they and A-Qing are the only ones left who loved Xiao Xingchen. I love odd Songxue companionship, is what I’m saying.

Catharsis and tenderness born from pain, and any mixture of dark themes and softness.

Found families and close platonic relationships.

Non-sexual (and non-physical!) intimacy. Not that sexual intimacy isn’t great too, of course.

Genderbends! (In the “All of them are always women” sense.) Feel free to make SXX girls for any of the prompts.

I vibe with both novel and CQL canon as well as amalgamations of the two.

Any setting/AU is good! My personal favourites are canon verse/jianghu, historical settings (especially if they teach me something about that period in time), and Modern/Modern with Cultivation, but if inspiration strikes for, like, a SciFi AU, that’s cool.

Dead doves are fine! I currently kinda prefer happy endings, but I’m also not opposed to being hurt if you have a really cool idea to hurt me with.

Kisses. Honestly, if you just give me a sketch/1000 words of them kissing, I’m happy.

A word for a nameless artist friend:

My brain is extremely focused on storytelling, which is probably obvious from how I write prompts. I adore fanart so, so much tho and I want to make sure you, hypothetical artist friend, aren’t overwhelmed by the storytelling focus, hence this section. Anything inspired by the prompts would be awesome to see, whether it’s something with the same aesthetic or a scene from one of the prompted scenarios. Pick and choose whatever vibes or details inspire you; I’m excited to see the results.

Art-specific general likes (though I like all art): Intimate moments and intimate touches, visible emotions, fashion designs, symbolism and compositions with Meaning that I can analyse like an art historian, fun homages to aesthetics like Tarot cards or Art Nouveau or, idk, medieval altar paintings, and yet again the kisses.

The requests for your convenience:

All of the details included in these prompts are meant to inspire, not to limit you! Feel free to ignore what doesn't work for you.

Request 1: Xue Yang re-ignites Songxiao’s passion for their old dream

I so want to see Songxuexiao sit around the Yi City campfire (or somewhere else), discuss politics and ethics together, and collectively bitch about the Great Sects. That's enough of a prompt already, but I picture the following scenario:

Things in Yi City have somehow worked out in everyone’s favour, no one is dead, and Songxuexiao and A-Qing have decided on some sort of truce. (Whether or not it already involves SXX kisses is up to you.) However, the events leading up to this fragile peace have left Xiao Xingchen and Song Lan disillusioned, and although they are slowly rebuilding their relationship, they no longer believe in their old dream of founding a sect. The fact that they did go through a divorce and have grown apart in the process probably doesn’t help.

Enter Xue Yang, who has strong opinions on the established sects being hypocritical bastards and the backstory to back those opinions up. Song Lan and Xiao Xingchen are shocked to find out that they agree on a lot when it comes to politics, although they obviously have vastly different approaches to reacting to this unjust system. Even worse – discussing this with Xue Yang (and possibly finding out about Chang Ci’an) lights a spark of old passion – surely someone should DO something about this – and suddenly someone’s having persistent thoughts of sect-building again.

Optional wants:

It might be fun if initially, only one daozhang experienced a Xue Yang-induced activism relapse – especially if it’s Song Lan; just imagine him reacting to the fact that Xue fucking Yang made him feel like he could make a difference in the world again.

The results of all this (Songxuexiao sect?? Dreams of one? Taking the first steps towards building one?) would also be very fun to look at, especially for the art side of things.

Request 2: Song Lan and Xue Yang take care of a distressed Xiao Xingchen

That’s it, that’s the prompt. I have a specific scenario in mind (see below), but if inspiration strikes in a different way, go wild.

I’m imagining a setting where Xiao Xingchen is pretty fragile and questioning his ability to be a good person, and Xue Yang is sort of aware of how fragile Xiao Xingchen is and knows that he doesn’t want to lose him. So, post-fix-it Yi City or something the like? Where Xiao Xingchen is either back from the dead or got very close to shattering himself? It can also be an AU with similar vibes, of course.

The idea is that Xiao Xingchen fucks up and accidentally really hurts Song Lan and/or Xue Yang. Because he’s Xiao Xingchen and his entire self-image is built around being a good and helpful person, he can’t deal with that at all. (This is the guy who ripped his own eyes out and then left Song Lan on a celestial mountain to make up for something that wasn’t his fault, and also the guy who didn’t kill Xue Yang but shattered his own soul upon learning that he’d been tricked into doing awful things! He’s a mess!) Anyways, I’d like to see Song Lan and Xue Yang deal with that by gathering up the puddle that is Xiao Xingchen and showing him – in their own odd ways – that he’s forgiven, he’s loved, and he’s allowed to make one (1) mistake every now and then.

Optional wants:

Song Lan and Xue Yang having very different styles of comforting Xiao Xingchen, and both of those maybe not working super well! Xue Yang probably hasn’t comforted anyone in his life! His goal is to make Xiao Xingchen happy again (so that Xiao Xingchen doesn’t do stupid things like shattering his soul) and otherwise he’s completely out of his depth! Song Lan’s sort of idealized image of Xiao Xingchen might not be super helpful either! It might be fun if they’d both fail on their own, but manage to make it work together. Two negatives make a positive.

I’d love to see that very odd careful/caretaking side of Xue Yang that he shows when he’s cleaning Xiao Xingchen’s corpse or offering A-Qing advice on how to take revenge on her enemies.

Generally, I like Hurt/Comfort and complicated emotions better than pure fluff, so lean into the angst if you want to.

An A-Qing can be freely added to this scenario.

Request 3: Xiao Xingchen comes down from the mountain, but it’s the 21st century

Everything’s the same: Xiao Xingchen, disciple of the immortal Baoshan Sanren, leaves the celestial mountain never to return, hoping to be able to help the people of the world – only that it’s 2022 (or 1950 or another year of your choosing) and he ends up in modern China. Baoshan Sanren’s mountain, meanwhile, is firmly stuck in ancient ways, and Xiao Xingchen has thus never even heard of electricity. Cue one confused Xiao Xingchen, on his own in this strange world until he runs into some handsome boys (and possibly a cheeky girl), an equally confused Song Lan who’d like to get this beautiful man a goddamn ID, and a probably delighted Xue Yang who just gained a new, very ethereal toy.

Optional wants/further musings:

I adore Modern with Cultivation settings and thinking about how a world where ghosts and demonic beings are an observable part of reality might be different from our own, so if you like that, too, I’d love some worldbuilding details.

Wei Wuxian might be fun to add as a supporting character! I enjoy the thought of him and Xiao Xingchen being friends, and Xiao Xingchen might try to look for his shijie’s son? That’s like, super optional tho.

I’m imagining this with Ghibli vibes/visuals. No idea why and this as well is super optional, but maybe it’s inspiring.

Request 4: Resurrected (?) Xiao Xingchen is miserable, and Song Lan tries to bring back Xue Yang

Somehow (Wei Wuxian? An old plan of Xue Yang’s? Time and patience?), Xiao Xingchen’s soul gets restored and he is resurrected. Song Lan gets to apologise, Songxiao get to travel the world together again, it’s all Song Lan hadn’t dared to hope for in his wildest dreams. The only problem is that Xiao Xingchen is doing horribly. He 1) obviously isn’t over what happened in Yi City 2) still blames himself for the innocent people he killed, Song Lan’s and A-Qing’s deaths, and having trusted Xue Yang 3) probably also blames himself for the fact that he misses and mourns his nameless friend, and no matter what Song Lan does to make things better, it doesn’t work. Maybe his earnest devotion isn’t what Xiao Xingchen needs. Maybe Xiao Xingchen needs someone who can take his mind off things, someone who makes him laugh. Maybe he needs Xue Yang.

That’s the idea Song Lan gets, anyways. Maybe Xiao Xingchen (or A-Qing or Wei Wuxian?) told him a little about how Xue Yang helped Xiao Xingchen recover after Baixue Temple, or maybe Song Lan just remembers Xue Yang’s unexpected devotion to Xiao Xingchen and figured he might be able to help? Or the reasons are less emotional and the resurrection went wrong in a way Wei Wuxian can’t fix? Either way, Song Lan is desperate to find a way to make Xiao Xingchen not try to shatter himself again, and getting Xue Yang’s help is his last resort. So he sets out to find/contact/resurrect Xue Yang. Xiao Xingchen might or might not be horrified by that.

The Xingchen resurrection part is optional; it can also be another brand of “Xiao Xingchen lives after the events of Yi City” OR even a complete AU. (Song Lan tries to contact Xiao Xingchen’s horrible ex bc he can’t figure out how to make Xiao Xingchen less depressed?)

Optional wants:

If Song Lan is a fierce corpse, it would be fun if his insecurities re.: being dead played into his decisions here. How could he, a monster, ever be what Xingchen needs?

Some odd sort of companionship between Songxue (+ A-Qing) as the ones who’d do anything for Xiao Xingchen and know that about each other would be dope.

DNW:

Xiao Xingchen immediately forgiving Xue Yang.

Zichen is my dearest beloved, so the flavour I’m looking for here is “Song Lan has a hard time helping Xiao Xingchen, blames himself and goes overboard looking for a solution bc Songxiao are bad at communicating” rather than “Song Lan is actually incapable of helping Xiao Xingchen/not what Xiao Xingchen needs”.

It wouldn’t sit right with me if A-Qing weren’t mentioned at all. I’d love to see her involved in all this, of course, but even if she doesn’t end up playing a role, I feel like there should be a reason for that? I’d have a hard time believing that Song Lan would try to get Xue Yang to help if A-Qing were an option.

Request 5: Fierce corpse issues

This one’s super vague! I’d like to see something focused on the specific trials that come with Song Lan being a fierce corpse, both for Song Lan himself and for the rest of the Yi City crew. Here are some optional ideas:

Song Lan dealing with the fact that he runs on resentful energy now and that his control over said energy can slip. I bet that’s scary for him specifically, seeing that losing his temper usually doesn’t go well for him!

Fierce corpse maintenance! Either in the form of regular maintenance, or Xue Yang “updating” Song Lan with new features, adding things that he finds useful or “installing” updates Song Lan would like to have (better control of his resentful energy, less rigor mortis, a working dick – something like that).

How does being dead (inherently unclean!) interact with Song Lan’s mysophobia? How does he feel about maybe having to be touched regularly for maintenance?

Xiao Xingchen and A-Qing could learn some basic demonic cultivation, if so inclined, to help with fierce corpse maintenance or to be able to calm Song Lan down if he ever loses control. (How would Song Lan feel about Xiao Xingchen learning demonic cultivation for him?)

Fierce corpse management as (platonic, romantic, or sexual) intimacy! That might help Song Lan with any insecurities he might have regarding the fact that he's dead.

Speaking of insecurities, a potentially fun dynamic: Song Lan, who avoids touching Xue Yang because 1) he is mysophobic 2) he is dead and would potentially contaminate others with his unclean energy vs. Xue Yang, who already took Song Lan’s mysophobia reaction extremely personally in the Villainous Friends extra and assumes that Song Lan avoiding touch = Song Lan thinking Xue Yang in particular is disgusting.

There’s of course the option of Xiao Xingchen (or someone else) also being a fierce corpse and Song Lan maybe helping out as the senior fierce corpse.

Wants/DNW/further musings:

I’m imagining either a (fix-it?) setting where they’re all alive/undead, or alternatively a more depressing version where Xiao Xingchen is a shattered soul in a bag, and fierce corpse maintenance could go hand in hand with soul fragment maintenance? I’m not picky.

I’d really like to see A-Qing here, with her and Song Lan platonically bonding. Maybe she’s part of the fix-it crew, or she is working together with Xue Yang and Song Lan to bring back Xiao Xingchen?

I’m not into explicit gore, but feel free to go grotesque with this if you want to!

I hope something here piqued your interest! Have fun creating <3

Parfois je tape des noms dans Google

Ce sont souvent des noms d’autrefois

Parfois je découvre un décès

Souvent je ne suis pas surpris

Par la satiété que la poudre d’avenir

A su prodiguer à certains biberons

La vieillesse s’est insinuée dans les interstices

D’une trop longue ellipse

Rendant périmées les conversations à reprendre

Comme si nous les avions abandonnées hier

Quelques noms dans Google

Et les contours incertains de ces vides

Que comble à peine notre imagination

Des listes et des liens ombrageux

Le verdict encombrant du temps rétréci

Le cinéma victime des nécessités industrielles

S’accommode mal d’un tournage au long cours

Ou bien tente de simuler la fuite des années

Grâce à des artifices qui l’éloignent

Encore davantage de la vie

Sans mesure sérieuse de l’espace

Au cinéma je ne connais que Boyhood

Pour défier les limites de la contraction de l’art

Dans la restreinte de son langage

Il n’est plus seulement question d’un film

Il s’agit de métamorphoses

Comme ce type qui se met en scène

Dans une série d’autoportraits quotidiens

Dont la lecture peut provoquer le vertige

Boyhood est un Cassavetes qui choisirait l’éclosion

Un folioscope égrené lentement

Dans un cadre de moments-clés

Les parenthèses des ellipses

N’appartenant plus qu’à nos cœurs

Boyhood rappelle qu’à la différence

De notre enfance interminable

Celle de nos propres enfants a passé

Comme le murmure du soir

Qu’on ne peut retenir

Boyhood figure un compte-à-rebours

De l’inéluctable séparation

Les transfigurations du garçon

Dessinent un réseau qui conduit

À l’échéance à laquelle nul n’est jamais préparé

Et les photos remplissent des tiroirs qu’on n’ouvre jamais

Ou se noient dans les limbes numériques

Sous l’épaisseur des couches qui les recouvrent

Comme quand la peinture de Mason

Efface les traits de mesure

Des tailles des enfants sur le mur

De sa nouvelle chambre

Nous démiurges voudrions

Que ces années d’enfance

Soient figées dans l’éternité

Qu’elles restent captives de nos propres films

Ingalls à perpétuité

La synthèse opérée par Boyhood

En un amalgame de temps court et long

Compris entre le pari d’un tournage fleuve

Et l’idée jivarienne d’une vie réduite à son apprentissage

Est construite autour des sculptures

Qui pérennisent les instantanés

En ces images de grâce et de vérité

Dont se repaît la propagande

N’était-ce pas là la quête de Linklater

Quand à l'armée française, ses effectifs ont été renforcés depuis 1913 par l'augmentation de la durée du service militaire, portée de deux à trois ans. Nombre de ses cadres se sont aguerris, lors des expéditions coloniales, notamment dans l'exercice du commandement. Joffre et Galliéni, les deux futurs vainqueurs de la Marne, en sont les prestigieux exemples. La grande Muette n'a pas été touchée, comme elle le sera en 1917, par les menées des factions antimilitaristes dont le tribun, Jaurès, a déclaré en 1907 : « Le devoir des prolétaires, si la guerre leur est imposée contre leur volonté, est de retenir leur fusil qui leur est confié, non pour abattre leurs frères de l'autre côté de la frontière, mais pour abattre révolutionnairement les gouvernements de crime ! » C'est le discours de la IIe Internationale qui vise à désarmer la France, alors que l'Allemagne impériale pousse ses armements. Clemenceau dénonce ses propagandistes : « Je suis l'adversaire de la C.G.T en tant qu'association propageant les doctrines de l'anarchie et de l'antipatriotisme. » Doctrines subversives dont l'armée a su se protéger, mais qui ne peuvent laisser indifférents les cadres attachés au culte des valeurs nationales, et adversaires farouches du pangermanisme qui menace les frontières, et de l'internationalisme qui attaque celles-ci de l'intérieur. La lutte contre cette double menace, externe et interne, accompagne la vie de soldat de Pétain, et marquera ses actes quand la France l'appellera à la tête de ses armées, puis de l'état.

L'armé française, dont les regards sont tournés vers le Rhin, conserve un moral élevé malgré la subversion intérieure et les affrontements idéologiques liés au procès du capitaine Dreyfus, et à l'affaire des fiches donc Pétain est l'une des nombreuses victimes. Son bref séjour au 104e R.I donne lieu, en effet, à l'établissement d'une fiche édifiante : « Passé à l'école de Guerre, inconnu, mais des rens.nouveaux et sérieux le donnent comme professant des idées natio. Et cléricales ».

Cette fiche montre, parmi tant d'autres, que le processus de diabolisation des idées nationales, et leur amalgame avec la tradition chrétienne, est à l'oeuvre. Elle est établie par le Grand Orient de France, et destinée aux Services du général André, ministre de la Guerre. C'est l'époque du ministère Combes et de l'application de la de 1901 sur les congrégations expulsées de leurs couvents. La chasse aux sorcières s'organise.

En octobre 1900, un décret a confié au seul ministre de la Guerre la responsabilité de l'établissement des tableaux d'avancement au choix des officiers. L'idée est de pousser les « libres penseurs » et les « vrais républicains », et de freiner, voire d'éliminer les « réactionnaires » et les « cléricaux ». Il importe, en bref, de trier l'ivraie du bon grain. Dans ce but, le cabinet du général André transmet au Grand Orient de France les noms des officiers supérieurs et généraux dont on désire connaître la sensibilité politique ou religieuse. Les agents de renseignements sont priés d'établir des fiches individuelles répondant aux questions suivantes : « Attitude politique, opinions et pratiques religieuses, mode d'instruction des enfants ? Les intéressés ont-ils de la famille dans la localité ? Si oui, quelles sont leurs fréquentations ? »

Les renseignements ainsi recueillis sont archivés au Grand Orient et communiqués au cabinet du ministre de la Guerre. A la date du 30 octobre 1903, 18 818 fiches ont été établies, alors que l'armée française compte 27 000 officiers.

En matière religieuse, la fidélité à la religion catholique est hautement répréhensible, mais la fréquentation du temple ou de la synagogue ne justifie pas les mêmes anathèmes. La délation condamne « le clérical » aussi bien que l'officier qui « a mis ses fils à Stanislas » ou qui « va à la messe ».

Challenges: "Cancer" de l'assistanat: pour Wauquiez "aujourd'hui, on y est".

Ne pas confondre assistance sociale et assistanat, les abîmés de la vie vous en seraient gré !

Pour avoir souffert d'un cancer au sortir de l'adolescence, je sais que l'on ne meurt pas de l'assistance que l'on vous prête. Il faut user de mots justes et éviter les amalgames et formules à l'emporte-pièce.

Quand on parle mal, c'est que l'on pense mal, de là à parler de mauvaises pensées, il n'y a qu'un pas que nous n'aimons pas franchir.

N'oubliez jamais que c'est avec nos impôts que vous êtes indemnisés pour les mandats que vous avez su gagner. Soyez en dignes par les résultats que vous obtiendrez pour le bien du pays sinon vous seriez à juste titre considérés vous-mêmes comme de simples assistés de la République !...

Peut-être même des parasites au détriment des pauvres gens de ce pays, les nécessiteux...

Ceux qui ont besoin d'assistance sociale.

(CLICK HERE to see the rest of the Steven-Study!)

CHECK OUT THIS COOL SQUARE.

(Seriously, he looks like he should’ve been an NFL linebacker at like. 12.)

Where most AU-Stevens tend to attach themselves to one particular adoptive gem-parent more than the rest, THIS one bonded with Bismuth! …Because of reasons! …And boy, is it dark! (I love it!)

Ongoing Steven-Study as I work on making people look like…different people, in body shape? Also, hair texture. I had SO MUCH FUN with this one.

Bloodstone

As a Happy Early Birthday to my friend @spectrisinks I wrote a little fic story of my Steven Universe AU @amalgamau and Omni’s AU @theeldritchgemsau fusing for the first time! It’s INCREDIBLY dark and sad and triggery but that’s par for the course with Eckhart.

Eckhart scratches at his wrists anxiously.

"Gosh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to dump all of that on you... you have enough going on without me adding to it." Amalgam walks over to Eckhart, grabbing his wrists softly and holding him softly as he pulls them apart.

“Hey, it’s fine. I’m glad to be there for you.” Amalgam says softly as Eckhart smiles shyly. The two spend a moment calming down when Eckhart’s smile turns to a blank expression, then contorts to a wicked grin. He rips his hands free and shoves a hand into Amalgam’s jacket pocket, snatching his knife and jumping back as his eyes flash white.

“Oh, how kind of you to worry about this pitiful form. But I quite enjoy the feeling of pain and suffering.” White sneers at Amalgam, who growls annoyed and retorts.

“Oh, great, the bastard of the group is here.” White laughs maniacally.

“Oh! Ow! How hurtful!” He mocks as he flips the knife open, pointing it towards where his heart would be. “It really gets me. Right here.” Amalgam growls as he stares at him, clenching his fists.

“Drop my knife and back off you psychopathic emotional reject.” He growls at the personality dominating Eckhart. White giggles with a sinister glee as he moves the knife, feeling the blade edge with his other hand’s fingers.

“Now what fun would that be Starlight?” He says, sliding the blade down his fingers and inhaling sharply with a twisted grin. White licks the blood off of the blade slowly as Amalgam shakes in rage.

“Would you just calm the fuck down?” Amalgam shouts at White. As a faint light glows from under his hair, his eyes flash whiter as he gives a radiantly evil smile.

“Or what?” White asks with a chuckle. “You’ll pull your knife on me?” He waves the blade around some. “Or will you throw a tantrum and try to knock me flat? No... you wouldn’t dare let two of your friends die from head trauma.” Amalgam fumes as he grits his teeth.

“Shut your damn mouth! Don’t you talk about them!” His shout only causes White to laugh maniacally as he crudely responds.

“Oh be quiet. You won’t hurt me because you care about him. Because you know what I want. Because you’re afraid to hurt someone else you care about.”

“SHUT UP!” Amalga screams, the floorboards crack and snap beneath him.

“What’s the matter Starlight, did I hit a nerve?” White mockingly asks as he flips Amalgam’s knife a few times, then positions the blade against his own throat. “Think I can find another?”

Amalgam screams in a rage as he jumps onto Eckhart, grabbings his arms as Amalgam’s gem glows, he pulls Eckhart’s hands away from himself.

“I don’t give a shit HOW much you get off on pleasure you twisted fucking dumbass! You don’t get to hurt yourself around me!” Eckhart’s eyes flash pink as his gemstones glow in turn. In a flash of light the pair fuse together.

The fusion stands, opening its four eyes. Two of its arms are bound to its chest by straight jacket like restraints. Chains clatter as the middle set of arms claps onto the wrists of the top pair of arms.

“What is this?” The fusion cries out in rage.

“We are Bloodstone.” They respond to themself, straining the skin that stitched its mouth shut.

“We refuse to let you harm us anymore.” The top pair of arms strain against the grasp of the middle hands, but to no avail as they end up crossed against the chest.

“Let go of us!” They yell to themself “You can’t hold us back!” The top hands begin clawing into their shoulders, tearing the fusions sickly grey-green skin and drawing blood. The middle hands dig into the wrists of the top arms and forcefully pulls the hands away from the shoulders, blood dripping from the wounds as it trickles from their wrists. Both hand’s fingertips now stained red.

“Sorry, but I can and I will. We are not a toy for you to play with. You want your fun, you can get your fucked up enjoyment somewhere else.” His restraints glow the same sickly green as his skin as he shouts in a bloodthirsty rage, thrashing about wildly. As he tries to fight his way free from his own grip he begins screaming, frothing at the mouth. Bloodstone’s chains begin to glow as well as they tighten around him, the ends of the chain shoot down, digging into the floor and slowly begin dragging him to his knees. His screams devolve into a haunting and insane cackling as he falls to his back, thrashing around, unable to escape. The laughter haunts the beach house as the sun fades into the distance and Bloodstone is restrained.
