DC: South | Titans South

Titans South, formerly known as Teen Titans South, is an iteration of the Teen Titans located in the Southern region of the United States. Much like Justice League South, they are unauthorized to be using the Titans name.

Unlike the mainstream Titans, JLS had no hand in forming the original team. Instead, it was Jaguar who sought out the original five members as aids in her quest for vengeance against her father, the crime lord Al Tylers. Over time, they began to bond and became a found family.

They are based in Atlanta.

Titans South 1

Leader: Minka Tylers | Jaguar

Members:

Roland Judge | Tsuru I

Nicte of Tenochtitlan | Typhoon

Alejandra | Tidebreaker

Rue Summers | Speed Demon

Knowing she couldn't face her estranged father and his associates alone, Minka set out to find others to help her. The first member of the Furious Five was Roland Judge, who was going by Tsuru. While she was annoyed with his personality, he was a good fighter and archer. Plus he had the money and connections to bail them out of trouble.

The next member to join was Alejandra, the chosen one of a tribe of Amazons located in the Yucatán Peninsula, who had journeyed to the outside world to continue the legacy of Stormbringer (Andromeda King). It was easy for Minka to get her to join since she needed help learning about the outside world.

Both Rue and Nicte joined at the same time. Rue was the sidekick of Roadrunner (Will Summers) and Nicte was the sidekick to Cipactli (Citlali of Tenochtitlan). Minka recruited Rue for his speed (and for entertainment but she'd rather die than admit that) and Nicte for his powers.

With her team assembled, Minka declared a full on war with her dad; emerging victorious once she killed him.

Even with her goal achieved, Minka found herself attached to her teammates and decided against disbanding them as she planned to do once Al was eliminated.

They decided to call themselves Titans South after a newspaper called them "The Teen Titans of the South".

Titans South 1.5

Leader: Minka Tylers

New members:

Mel Ortega | Darkheart

Ko'vi of Tamaran

Tallulah Moriarty | Wildflower

Reason for disbanding: Adulthood and differing interests

The next iteration of Titans South saw the addition of three new members: Darkheart, Ko'vi, and Wildflower.

Mel Ortega was Minka's childhood best friend. They joined to support her in her superhero career. Mel comes from a long line of witches who wield underworld magic, a type exclusive to their bloodline only. The nature of their powers allowed them to become the team expert on all things supernatural ranging from ghosts and spirits to Demons.

Ko'vi of Tamaran was a former cadet of Green Lantern Malaika Rose and one of the few Tamaranians left. He left to pursue his own path and ended up in Atlanta just in time to see the team in the middle of battling a powerful enemy. Ko'vi flew in to assist them, catching the attention of Minka in the process.

Tallulah is the youngest sister of Emerald Ranger (Sherri Moriarty). Inspired by her eldest sister's heroic actions, Tallulah operated as a small time vigilante in her hometown of Beaumont, Texas before heading to Georgia. Roland recruited her after witnessing her impressive marksmanship and skill with guns. Tallulah is the youngest member of the team.

Unfortunately this is also the iteration that ended up disbanding, but not on bad terms. Many of the members were now adults and had their own goals and motivations outside of heroism; Minka and Ko'vi wanted to settle down together for a bit, Roland was about to marry Jezebel Morningstar, Nicte and Alejandra had just gotten married, Mel wanted to focus on their blooming fashion career, Rue got an advance in his career, and Tallulah wanted to focus on graduating high school.

I have yet to plan the other iterations of Titans South but do know that Tallulah leads the next generation.

A NEW DAWN AT COURT Artwork by Lily Abdullina

But while some left the city, many others flocked to it ahead of the royal coronation of Aegon and his promised bride, Aegon II’s daughter Princess Jaehaera. Among those to arrive were Lady Johanna Lannister and her father Lord Roland Westerling; Lord Lyonel Hightower and Lady Sam; the High Septon (traveling separately from Lord Hightower, due to Lyonel’s incestuous relationship with his stepmother); the Baratheon sisters Cassandra, Ellyn, and Floris, escorted by Lady Elenda’s father Lord Royce Caron; Ser Alyn Velaryon; Ser Medrick and Ser Torrhen Manderly with a hundred knights from White Harbor; and many from more far-flung places, including emissaries from six of the Nine Free Cities and three splendid, feather-cloaked princes from the Summer Isles.

On the seventh day of the seventh moon of 131 AC—an auspicious and holy day according to the Faith—the High Septon performed the marriage rites atop Visenya’s Hill for all the city to see. Prince Aegon was wed to Princess Jaehaera, which was met with a roar of approval from the tens of thousands who witnessed it. The newlywed Targaryens were then carried to the Red Keep, where Aegon was crowned with a plain golden circlet and declared Aegon the Third of His Name, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and the Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. It was a lavish occasion—although the dragons that once flew triumphantly on such festive occasions were absent: a loss that House Targaryen would feel in the years and decades to come.

Any headcanons for the next gen?

Finally can answer! Sorry this took so long lmao. These are just a bunch of random headcanons

Reblogging for the update that Alice is now Hope's sister.

Roland

He loves baked goods, especially when they’re baked by Regina, and has a strange love of Mountain Dew, which grosses everyone out

He got his first tattoo, the exact same lion tattoo that Robin had, in the exact same place, when he was twelve, thanks to Little John, and Regina almost fainted when she found out.

He inherits his father’s arrows, rings, and wardrobe, while his sister gets his bow. Before he died, Robin made Roland his very own bow, and that is the one he uses

His biggest secret is that he doesn't want to lead the Merry Men, like his father before him; he wants to be a baker

Surprisingly squeamish. Doesn’t do well with blood or guts

90% of his Storybrooke wardrobe is flannels

He likes camping, hiking, and just generally being outside

Is a pretty good singer, and knows how to play the acoustic guitar

His favorite season is autumn

His favorite color is red

Alex

They have survived solely on food from Granny’s Diner and coffee since they graduated high school

They actually work at Granny’s Diner, pretty much doing Ruby’s job after she moved to Oz.

In several instances, they had managed to convince many small children that the pink streaks in their hair are 100% natural

Can wield a dagger pretty well, but is a self-proclaimed “runner” and not a fighter

Most of the graffiti around Storybrooke can be attributed to them

Though they’d rather die than admit it, they really like doing so-called “feminine” hobbies like knitting, sewing, and crocheting. They are very proficient at all three

Got a tongue piercing at 12:01 am, the very day that they turned eighteen

They play the bass, and dream of starting a garage band

Their favorite season is summer

Their favorite color is pink

Leo

Really likes spicy foods. Or foods he can dump gallons of hot sauce on. He pretends to be a tea drinker, but really can’t stand the stuff

Secretly loves country music, but knows that his friends would crucify him if they found out

His least favorite subject in school is English, because he feels like he gets interpretations of stories “wrong” somehow. Math is easier because it’s “straightforward”

He’s a guard on the school football team

Somehow, he’s also senior class president and has a 3.89 GPA

Since in this AU, Regina turned down the offer to be queen in favor of Snow, Leo is next in line for the throne (Emma opted out)

Can’t do archery for shit, but is great at fencing

He likes to babysit his brother and other neighborhood kids

His favorite season is spring

His favorite color is indigo

He’s one of those people who only eats plain noodles with butter, and only drinks water if it’s ice-cold or flavored. Very picky.

He has dyspraxia, which is a disorder similar to dyslexia. It affects his movement and coordination functions (my little brother has this) so he is very prone to stumbling, dropping things, and just general clumsiness.

He’s a night owl. He tends to stay awake until three hours before he has to get up (“Three hours is enough sleep, right?”) which results in a lot of coffee consumption

He’s a member of the school drama club, and has performed in many plays and musicals

He’s really into urban area gardening, where he grows plants and food in tiny boxes around his house

His honorary aunt is Mulan, and she was the one who taught him sword fighting, archery, and helped him figure out that he’s gay

He likes to live in the moment, and do spontaneous things. He’d rather regret doing something than not doing something.

He has Alex sneak him into clubs sometimes, just to do something rebellious for kicks

His favorite season is spring

His favorite color is purple

Robyn

Thanks to Regina’s influence, she loves apple flavored food

She got her glasses in her freshman year of high school. Before that, she just…moved closer to the board to see what was going on (I know in canon she only has her glasses when she’s cursed, but I like the idea of Robyn, the archer, needing glasses full-time, so here we are.)

She inherits Robin’s bow, and carries it around with her like a favorite teddy bear (when Robin comes back to life he teaches her how to make her own bow)

She longs to escape Storybrooke and travel the different realms, like Henry

She loves the outdoors like Roland, but not quite as much.

Her magic is chaotic and wild, like her personality

She’s on the school soccer team, and kicks everyone’s ass

The only jewelry she ever wears is a ring her mother got for her

Her favorite season is summer

Her favorite color is green

Gideon

Has a weakness for seafood, and regularly drinks tea

He’s a math nerd, and is on the school’s mathlete team

Unsurprisingly, he loves to read. Fiction or nonfiction, he doesn’t care. He’ll read five books a day if Belle lets him.

He also likes video games, but is very bad at them

He’s on the autism spectrum

He likes keeping journals, and keeps several personal journals, study journals, and doodle journals

Since his magic is inherently dark, he doesn’t like to use it much. If he does need to use magic, it can trigger memories from his time as the Black Fairy’s puppet to come back in the form of nightmares

He wants to be a therapist when he grows up, and maybe publish a book or two

His favorite season is winter

His favorite color is orange

Alice

She loves to eat things with marmalade, and even just marmalade straight from the jar. And she’s british…so tea is life

She has a mental illness (canon never gave her a proper diagnosis), and takes prescribed medication that helps her symptoms. When she has "bad days," Robyn, Hope, and their parents know how to help her.

She loves the idea of dying or putting streaks in her hair, but she’s slightly worried she’ll regret it later on, so hasn’t tried it yet

She still loves to paint, doodle, draw, and basically anything artsy.

She loves to play chess with her father, and other, more modern board games with her friends. Her favorites are Candy Land, Battleship, and Monopoly.

She rarely uses her light magic, and only to protect people. Emma trains with her regularly

She will stay awake into the wee hours to go stargazing, and loves astronomy, star mapping, and even the zodiac signs (she’s a proud Aries)

Even though she’s never officially sailed a ship, she knows the inner workings of how to do it so well, she might as well be a sailor

Her favorite season is summer

Her favorite color is teal

Hope

Her favorite food is literally just cheese

She is on the autism spectrum

She has a special interest in swords, which results in a large sword collection, and a bunch of useless sword facts

She also has a special interest in dancing, which results in her now knowing a few books worth of dances, both modern and classical

She’s on the school dance squad (see above)

She likes to go sailing with Killian and Alice

Her favorite piece of jewelry is the swan necklace her parents gave her

Going to the beach calms her down, and she listens to ocean noises to fall asleep

Her favorite season is summer

Her favorite color is navy blue

I notice in your translation of Lucile’s diary, on 9th June 92 she says “He's gone! If they would have ripped my soul out, they wouldn't have hurt me any more. What a wound has come to my heart!“ Is she referring to Horace here? I assumed so from the context (unless it was Camille) - and if so is she referring to the baby being taken to the wet nurse? I wondered why she would choose not to breastfeed it herself given the distress. Was it to do with the dangerous situation in Paris or Lucile being unwell (as she mentions?). I know you don’t have definite answers to all this but given you are a wizard I wanted your opinion! (The joys of trying to decipher the girl’s incredible crypticness for a novel .)

Yes, I think it is rather obvious it’s Horace being sent to a wet nurse Lucile is referring to in this diary entry. It’s also confirmed by a letter Camille wrote to his father three days later: ”I named [my son] Horace-Camille Desmoulins. He was immediately sent to a wet nurse in l'Ile-Adam (Seine-et-Oise) with the little Danton.”

As for why Lucile didn’t breastfeed Horace herself, I agree it can come off as a little strange given that mothers breastfeeding their own children was the new hot stuff. We know that both the Brissot, Roland and Lebas couple went through with it (in the latter case, Philippe even seems to have had the topic of breastfeeding your own child be some kind of ”ultimatum” to see if Élisabeth would be a suitable wife for him). We also know that Horace was one of the very first children to have a republican baptism instead of a religious one, a clear indicator his parents were open to other new ideas regarding babies. Camille does however not appear to have been as huge of a Rousseau stan as some other revolutionaries (in number 55 (December 1790) of Révolutions de France et de Brabant, he does for example write that he no longer idolizes Rousseau ”since he became an aristocrat in his old days,” and even tossed Confessions away in rage, ”in order to not hate the philosopher from Geneva”), the philosopher largely being the one who had advertised for mothers breatfeeding their own children. Also, according to Mette Harder’s Life in Revolutionary France (2020) — ”In practise, it seems that only a minority of parents followed this advice, given the prevalence of wet-nursing in France, particulary in larger cities.”

Finally, my only other speculation here is that since Horace, as shown by Camille’s letter, was sent to the same wet nurse as Danton’s youngest son, maybe it was Georges and Gabrielle who told Lucile and Camille: ”our wet nurse is great, you should send your child there too.” Then it’s also true Paris, like you say, wasn’t exactly the safest and healthiest place for an infant (or anyone!) in the summer of 1792, so it would make sense to want your child out of there for a while. But Lucile of course had a country house to run off to (which, as seen through the diary, she actually did shortly after Horace was sent away) and where we might imagiene she could have easily brought her son as well, so I don’t know if that explanation alone is sufficient enough.

#can’t believe brissot and robespierre still showed up for camille’s wedding after he’d written that about their beloved JJ #horace desmoulins #lucile desmoulins #camille desmoulins #jean jacques rousseau #frev #having to send your child away just three days after giving birth knowing full well there’s a big chance you’ll never see him or her again #sounds tough as hell #sorry lucile #ask

First few lines of some of my works

The Hostile Credence: Smoke rose from collapsed chimneys and blackened the morning sky. Soot dusted Ewan’s boots. The low walls that had failed to shield the village were one of the only constructions left standing, and there were as many corpses buried as were visible on Gadvale’s cobbled roads. Name the Frogs:

Even noise-canceling headphones aren’t enough to drown out the patter of rain against the windows.

There is no place in Oswalka where Irving can get away from the frequent rain, just as there is no place he can escape his father’s reputation. Stargazers' Hill:

For the first time in their lives, the people at the Glasser Mortuary did the opposite of their jobs: they pulled a body out of a casket. This one happened to be breathing, which was fortunate for all of them. Humphrey Glasser did not need his hard-earned reputation to be shaken by a police investigation. Rascal: The slipper slaps across the seat of his trousers, pushing him forward as his fingernails leave new scratches under the lip of his wooden desk. The rubber sole stings even through two layers of cotton. Merciless strokes leave oval prints on the flesh of his backside. Geckos, Automata: “I don’t want to live. Not like this. Can you make it stop? Could you kill me?”

Agatha blinked twice at her creator, even though his eyes were closed and he could not see her message. No.

What was it that he held in his hands? A worn photograph, revealing the dull colors of a young man’s curly black hair, his olive skin, and his gray irises. The stranger was smiling. Seasons:

Father says I was born from the fall of the first leaf of autumn. As it drifted downward, he held out his arms, and the leaf became an infant.

It used to fascinate me to hear the story of my birth. Not just mine, but my brothers’ as well.

“All my children are born from a season.”

“But there are four seasons and only three of us.”

Father tweaks my nose with his finger, grinning. “Yes. I don’t like summer.”

Serrated Petals:

In a forest of smoky quartz and glass-leaved trees sits a fortress of stone armor protecting coppery veins. Its spires and battlements overlook the deadlands beyond. A lake is tucked behind the crystal mountains surrounding the castle. Each section is part of a larger work of art from the infamous Otto Brynner.

Roland has been obsessed with the poetic descriptions—and the paintings—of Brynner’s handiwork since he was an impressionable lad still clinging to his mother’s skirts. Galleries would host his first introduction to the magnificence of Brynner’s magical sculptures and architecture. Display cases preserved the razor-thin edges of appropriated glass leaves, artists would attempt to capture the well-documented sight on canvas or porcelain plates or even kites, and children could hold a chunk of the land’s smoky quartz in their palms.

September NoveList Challenge: Dark Academia

It's time to go back to school! Read a book with the theme dark academia.

Did you know NoveList is a database you can access with your library card to find reading recommendations? Find your next favorite read with this fantastic readers tool! Check it out on our website here.

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

Piranesi’s house is no ordinary building: its rooms are infinite, its corridors endless, its walls are lined with thousands upon thousands of statues, each one different from all the others. Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; waves thunder up staircases, rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he understands the tides as he understands the pattern of the labyrinth itself. He lives to explore the house.

There is one other person in the house—a man called The Other, who visits Piranesi twice a week and asks for help with research into A Great and Secret Knowledge. But as Piranesi explores, evidence emerges of another person, and a terrible truth begins to unravel, revealing a world beyond the one Piranesi has always known.

Magic for Liars by Sarah Gailey

Ivy Gamble has never wanted to be magical. She is perfectly happy with her life. She has an almost-sustainable career as a private investigator, and an empty apartment, and a slight drinking problem. It's a great life and she doesn't wish she was like her estranged sister, the magically gifted professor Tabitha.

But when Ivy is hired to investigate the gruesome murder of a faculty member at Tabitha’s private academy, the stalwart detective starts to lose herself in the case, the life she could have had, and the answer to the mystery that seems just out of her reach.

Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M. Danforth

Our story begins in 1902, at The Brookhants School for Girls. Flo and Clara, two impressionable students, are obsessed with each other and with a daring young writer named Mary MacLane, the author of a scandalous bestselling memoir. To show their devotion to Mary, the girls establish their own private club and call it The Plain Bad Heroine Society. They meet in secret in a nearby apple orchard, the setting of their wildest happiness and, ultimately, of their macabre deaths. This is where their bodies are later discovered with a copy of Mary’s book splayed beside them, the victims of a swarm of stinging, angry yellow jackets. Less than five years later, The Brookhants School for Girls closes its doors forever—but not before three more people mysteriously die on the property, each in a most troubling way.

Over a century later, the now abandoned and crumbling Brookhants is back in the news when wunderkind writer, Merritt Emmons, publishes a breakout book celebrating the queer, feminist history surrounding the “haunted and cursed” Gilded-Age institution. Her bestselling book inspires a controversial horror film adaptation starring celebrity actor and lesbian it girl Harper Harper playing the ill-fated heroine Flo, opposite B-list actress and former child star Audrey Wells as Clara. But as Brookhants opens its gates once again, and our three modern heroines arrive on set to begin filming, past and present become grimly entangled—or perhaps just grimly exploited—and soon it’s impossible to tell where the curse leaves off and Hollywood begins.

The Cloisters by Katy Hays

Ann Stilwell arrives in New York City, hoping to spend her summer working at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Instead, she is assigned to The Cloisters, a gothic museum and garden renowned for its collection of medieval and Renaissance art.

There she is drawn into a small circle of charismatic but enigmatic researchers, each with their own secrets and desires, including the museum's curator, Patrick Roland, who is convinced that the history of Tarot holds the key to unlocking contemporary fortune telling.

Relieved to have left her troubled past behind and eager for the approval of her new colleagues, Ann is only too happy to indulge some of Patrick's more outlandish theories. But when Ann discovers a mysterious, once-thought lost deck of 15th-century Italian tarot cards she suddenly finds herself at the centre of a dangerous game of power, toxic friendship and ambition.

And as the game being played within the Cloisters spirals out of control, Ann must decide whether she is truly able to defy the cards and shape her own future...

The Princess of Wales’ Stats - Third Quarter

In the third three months of 2023, the Princess of Wales completed 24 engagements, averaging around 8 engagements a month. While her overall work rate still appears to be higher than it was pre-coronation, her summer break meant she only undertook 7 engagements in July and 0 in August. She also appeared in two released photos, videos, or statements, and was spotted three times - twice in August and once in September. While none of these months have been her “busiest”, September was her busiest September without a tour.

Of her now 29 patronages, she has visited or completed work for 6, totalling 11 engagements in total. In July, Catherine completed three engagements on behalf of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and on behalf of the Lawn Tennis Association. In September, five of Catherine’s seven patronage related engagements were for the Royal Foundation, while she also completed one apiece for the Rugby Football Union, the Forward Trust, and Fleet Air Arm.

Of her 23 engagements, 13 have been solo while another 8 were when she was accompanied by her husband, the Prince of Wales. Two engagements took place with the wider Wales Family, while one took place with a range British royals present.

All of her engagements - bar one (her Rugby World Cup appearance in France - have taken place in the UK, in England (19), Wales (3) and Scotland (1). More specifically, 6 of her engagements took place in Windsor, while 4 took place in London. She has also undertaken engagements in Luton, Leeds, Cornwall, Edinburgh, Gloucester, St Davids, Yeovil, Lancaster and Kent.

Many of her engagements have linked to the Sports, with five engagements falling in that area specifically, while seven engagements fell under the early years umbrella, with 3 engagements being focused on mental health, 1 on children and young people, and 3 on the Early Years specifically. 3 of her engagements were specifically linked to the military, while 2 were cultural. 1 engagements was linked to the importance on the outside. Five of her engagements did not fit into the theme headings I have created.

Clotheswise, her most worn identified designer has once again been Alexander McQueen, followed by Roland Mouret. Her most carried bag designer was Mulberry, followed by Emmy London. Her most-worn shoe designer is, again, Gianvito Rossi, although she has worn Emmy London three times. In terms of jewellery, she is back to some old favourites. She has also worn five pieces from Daniella Draper as well as from Kiki McDonough. A further four pieces were from Sezane. When it comes to hats, Catherine was seen in three hats - one from Philip Treacy, one from Hicks and Brown and one from Sahar Millinery.

Recalled • Part 6 • 42 - Roland

Previous • Series Masterlist • Part 6 Masterlist • Next

Roland remembers when he was six, his father had disappeared in the middle of the night. In the morning police came to the door, breaking in and searching the premises. His mom was crying, holding him and Lilian close as the officers berated her, asking if her children were even her own. Roland is glad that Lilian never remembered the incident, there was so much screaming and broken objects that day. For the longest time, Roland never knew why his father went to jail, but now he does, government theft. He stands with Lilian and his mother on the other side of the apartment door, wondering if it’s really a good decision to be meeting his recently released father; though it's better than being at his grandmother’s.

His mother steps before both of them, “I told him on the way here we were coming a week early, I’ve just got to see if we can come in.”

She knocks on the door, Roland hears a rush of footsteps, and soon the door opens. His mother lets herself in, not fully closing the door as she creates a barrier between her children and their father.

“Sorry, I know I told ya we’d be coming next week, but-” Their mother starts but is cut off by their father.

“No, it is alright, I have already put together lunch for them.”

“You, you’ve put together food already?”

“Yes, they are here, yes?”

“Yes.”

The door opens back up, there’s a waft of delicious-smelling air that enters the hallway. Roland and Lilian walk into the foyer of the apartment. It’s quite a tight space, he’s only three steps in and he’s already face to face with his father. He makes eye contact with him, his father smiles ear to ear. “It is like she said, you look just like me Rolando,” his father pauses for a moment. “Can I call you that, Rolando?”

Roland smiles, he sort of expected this but he wasn’t certain that it would actually happen. “Sure!”

His father steps out of the foyer, and goes into the kitchen, with Roland following him. “Your grandmother used to always get mad when I’d call you that in front of her, I just wanted to make sure you were still okay being called that.”

“Yeah, she’s a bitch,” Roland mutters still loud enough for his father to hear. “She called ya a filthy immigrant.”

His father smirks. “Of course she did, she’s never liked me.”

Roland watches as his father pulls what looks like nachos out from the oven. “Migas,” He explains. “It is fried bread crumbs in different shapes, I topped it with cheese and bacon like mi mamá used to make it.”

Roland sees his father’s eyes move to something behind him, his father looks at Lilian. “And you are Lilian, no?”

Lilian nods, their father smiles. “You have grown up to be such a beautiful girl, I am glad!” Both Lilian and Roland seem to be miffed about this comment. Their mother butts in. “He was arrested when you were four, the doctors didn’t know if you’d make it past the age of five.”

“And how old are you now?” Their father asks Lilian.

“She’ll be 18 in early summer.” Their mother answers him.

“I suppose I’m two years late for your Quinceañera, sorry about that.”

Lilian looks at their mother. “What’s that?”

“It’s a coming-of-age party for girls, and it would’ve been done on your fifteenth birthday.” Their mother explains.

“Then why didn’t I have one?” Lilian asks, their mother looks around nervously.

Roland sighs, looking between both his sister and father. “‘Cause Mr. Taggart wouldn’t have allowed it, that’s also why I wasn’t allowed to take Spanish in high school.”

His father looks over at him, disgruntled. “Who is this, Mr. Taggart?”

“Our old stepdad,” Roland replies. “Mom got a divorce since then, obviously, or else I wouldn’t be here.”

Roland talks a bit more. “I actually had no idea I was half-Spanish until a month ago. I never knew you were Spanish.”

There’s a half-saddened smile on his father’s face. “You did, you used to call me papá all the time and I would read you Spanish stories before bed,” He was looking up, remembering it all, and he then looked down at Roland again. “You forgot all about me, didn’t you?”

Roland chokes up. “I-I did, I forgot I had even met ya, it wasn't until I saw the pictures, and Martha and Otto, that…” He trails off after a few words.

His father shakes his head, “I’m sorry, we should stop talking about that, it is making you sad,” He takes a spatula to the mound of migas, putting a part of it on a plate. He gives it to Roland, tilting his head to the table, indicating that he wants him to sit there. “Go eat, you’ll feel better.”

Roland sits down and eats as his father plates migas for the others. The migas look a little funny, some look like tortilla chips while others are more like croutons.

“Is it good?” His father asks as he comes over to the table, Roland nods with his mouth full. “Good!” His father smiles.

“So, what have you been up to patito?” His father looks too Lilian.

Lilian lifts her head. “I’ve just been working hard on school, they’ve already told me I won’t be graduating this year.”

“Well, you are doing your best, that’s all that matters. You are doing very well for your condition, most people like you can’t even walk.”

“I can swim too!”

“That’s amazing!” He turns to Roland. “And how have you been? Are you doing postsecondary now?”

“He’s doing aviation lessons at a pilot academy, somehow he knows how to fly. How did you know how to do that Roland?” His mother asks.

Roland averts his eyes from the table. “Have you ever heard of a raid on an airplane graveyard?”

There’s the clatter of a glass hitting the table and spinning around, Roland looks back at his father who's gone pale.

“It got raided?” He asks. Roland quints his eyes at him ‘This guy knows more than he’s letting on.’

“It was bound to be, they knew it existed about two years prior,” Roland explains.

“You were there when it happened, yes?”

“No, I got unwound a year before.”

His father takes a moment before he speaks. “Then if you were there? How did you get unwound?”

Roland decides to tell him nothing. “Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to,” He looks at his mom. “A guy there took me in and taught me how to fly a chopper.”

His mom smiled, “How nice of him.”

“Yeah, and then he convinced two unwinds to kill five of ‘em.” The room goes silent, his family stares at him.

“Oh yeah and then after that some other guy trapped me in a metal box,” He takes another bite of his food. “I did deserve it but not for the reason he put me in there.”

His parents just stare at him in awe. “How did you not die before getting unwound?” His mom asks.

Roland looks up from his plate. “Because everyone was afraid of me, and they had the right to be.”

Roland finishes up the migas, but his parents are still stuck in place.

“What happens at a Quinceañera?” Their father has his attention pulled to Lilian, who asks the question.

“Well there’s a lot of traditions, but when we celebrated my sister’s, we invited almost everyone we knew; we had it at a banquet hall, and she danced the whole night away,” He laughs. “I don’t expect you to do all that, especially the first dance, you barely know me, and I wouldn’t want to force you into a father and daughter dance.”

Lilian looks up from her plate again. “Well, you already seem better than our last dad. Would I be wearing a dress when I dance with you?”

“Oh yes, you’d be wearing a very pretty dress, you can even wear a crown if you want, I hear most girls like doing that.”

Lilian lets out a squeal of excitement, their mother is bewildered by her amount of enthusiasm.

Roland laughs as he washes off his plate. “Sorry, I might have told her I’d try to convince you to get her a pretty dress for her birthday.” He tells his mother.

“I suppose it will be a dieciochoañera instead then.” His father says.

Roland and his father finish washing off all the dishes, Roland watches over his shoulder as Lilian tries to make a paper crane out of a napkin. He looks back to his father as they store the dishes. “I have something to tell you, why don’t we step into the living room?” His father says Roland follows him into the small living room. There are pictures on the wall of people he’s never seen before. He spots a picture of an older woman with his father, she looks like she could be his mother.

“Is that my grandma?” Roland asks his father nods. “Yes, but that’s not what I brought you in for.” He goes to the dresser underneath the collage of pictures and pulls out paperwork.

“Did your mother ever tell you why I went to jail?”

“I heard you committed government theft.”

“Yes, that is the vague crime that they put on my record.”

Roland takes a step back, weary of him.

“Let’s just say that if I committed government theft then so did you.”

“…what?…”

His father hands him over the paperwork, and Roland finds that it’s a document of his recruitment into the A.D.R. one year before he was born. Roland’s eyes widened as he looked back at his father, he was glad he didn’t tell his father how he got unwound.

“It is considered government theft when you harbour AWOLs, I had done that job for seven years before I got caught.”

“That’s… amazing,” Roland looks at the page some more, Danilo Delgado. “Heh, that’s funny, your initials are D.D.”

“Hah, yes, Danilo Delgado, I think we named your middle name after me, it is Daniel, yes?”

“Mhm!”

“Yes, the American version of Danilo, I think originally your middle name was going to be Franrosa, but I think you already know why it isn’t.”

“My grandmother, your mother-in-law.”

“Right.”

‘Roland Franrosa McMary.’ He thinks. “Darn, it’s such a nice name too.”

“Yes, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. Rolando, I know you’ve been unwound, if there’s anything you want to talk about with me, you can do it here.” His father tells him.

Roland stays silent for a bit, there is something that he wants to tell him, that he hasn’t told his mother, but it has nothing to do with unwinding.

“I hear they’re not too fond of yins or yangs in Europe, how do you feel about them?”

His father is taken aback, “I don’t have a problem with that, I think most of the cases I worked on were kids thrown out because of it; but what does that have to do with you?”

“Because I have a boyfriend.”

“Oh.”

The atmosphere becomes really awkward until Roland talks again.

“He gave me a bouquet of flowers recently, ‘cause we won't be seeing each other much anymore.”

His father blinks, “You are a very interesting man.”

Roland becomes defensive, “Is that bad?”

“No, no,” His father assures him. “But when you said I wouldn’t like the answer you’d give me about your unwinding I thought that maybe you’d be more comfortable talking one on one.”

Roland shakes his head, if he didn’t say it before he won’t say it now. “I haven’t made peace with the people I put in danger, until then, I’m not telling you anything.”

“I understand.”

“Thank you.”

Roland and his father leave the living room, Roland comes over to the living room seeing that Lilian has finished her paper crane.

“I’ve got to get back over to the campus now, it was nice meeting you!” He tells his father.

“It was nice meeting you too.”

Roland hugs his mother and Lilian goodbye before exiting the apartment.

At night Roland lies staring at the ceiling, he watches light appear on the ceiling from the window as cars go by. He feels Trevor shift around and tuck himself in Roland’s neck.

“You seem comfortable.” He says to Trevor.

Trevor hums, stroking a finger against the shirt that separates him from Roland’s chest. “I think I’d be more comfortable if you were shirtless.” He snickers.

“Not yet,” Roland tells him.

Roland looks at the wall of Polaroids beside Trevor’s bed.

“Who’s that girl?” Roland asks.

“Huh, oh, that’s a friend of mine,” Trevor tucks himself back into Roland’s neck. “Are we going to bed now then?” He yawns.

Roland pulls Trevor’s hand from his chest, he takes it up to his lips and kisses it. “Yeah.” Roland shifts himself inward towards Trevor and covers them in the blanket.

Some snippets of interest from Netflix's Toon In interview with Mairghread Scott and some of the voice cast, from the premiere of Absolution episode 1:

Mairghread: "I was asked to pitch for the show. I brought in three pitches and they were just like 'what would you do with a Dragon Age show'? I was like 'here are three different ideas' and this was the small little mean one in my heart that I was like 'they're not gonna pick this one, but like, it's fine'. It's the funny thing about writing, you're like, 'no way, no-one's gonna pick this one', and they were like, 'oh yeah, this is it', and I was like, 'ooh, okay, um'. [...] They really went for this show. This show is all about going for the jugular."

Mairghread: "We had such a fricking amazing team. Whatever you guys think of the show you gotta know that people left it on the mat. Our director actually got in trouble once because in the title sequence, we were reviewing an episode and they had the title sequence up, and there's a shot where there had just been a regular transition, instead he made it like Miriam leaping into the shot was the transition. And I was like, 'oh, hey, Bae, that's a new shot, right?' And the line producer was like 'no it's not, because he was supposed to stop working on that, because it was locked', like... and I was like 'oh... sure...' and Bae's like looking at me like, 'don't fricking -' and I'm just like 'yeah, must've been wrong, just - such a cool shot'. Like, they had to pry this show outta his hands. Everyone, the actors, we'd be like, 'yeah, great job', they're like 'no, I gotta, one more time, one more time, I really wanna nail it', like everyone just gave it." Mairghread: "We wrote this show in 2019 and we recorded this show in the summer of 2020. We never met [the voice actors], we literally recorded the show over a giant ten person Zoom call, which is insane." Ashly Burch: "The scripts are so good and we got to record everything together, so I got to hear these guys and their awesome performances." Host: "Y'all filmed the Zoom calls and some of the facial expressions were used?" Mairghread: "Yes, it was a very lucky thing where because we were on Zoom, the animation team asked, 'hey, can we just, just for reference, record this?' and it really helped get some of those, I talked about those priorities, acting and like facial acting was so important, that the fact that they could reference you guys while you actually did the lines really helped them get that extra level of facial acting into the characters." Mairghread: "For the European fans, all your ships are now canon. Like thank you so much [for staying up late to watch the premiere]." Ashly: "You have opened the box you can no longer close." Mairghread: "God, I know right. This is where BioWare's like, 'Season 2? No'." Mairghread: [on the cool intro] "Everyone was saying like, 'look, it's a Netflix show, they're gonna skip the intro, you don't have to', and we were like, 'No. We're bringing it. For everything.'" Phil LaMarr: [at the Roland-Lacklon 'no girlfriend' scene] "I don't have a girlfriend [chuckles]. Spoiler Alert!!" Host: "Why are they all so hot?" Mairghread: "We were in the writer's room, one of my friends happened to have been working on a show down the hall, and she came in and she was like, 'hey, you got any ships on your show?' And I was like 'bitch, I've got an armada'. [...] Reached out to the character's [editors/artists?], and I was like, 'they all have to be hot, just so you know'. They don't have to be the same kind of hot." Ashly: "Qwydion is so many things. She's excited by magic, she's bubbly, loving, she's a caretaker, but I just can't get over how tall she is, I love it so much because I'm very short. [...] The thing that I love about her, especially in this ensemble, she has this lightness to her, like it's so fun seeing this episode because every time she's on-screen she's smiling basically, she's happy to be there, happy to go on an adventure. I love that light-heartedness. And she also has a genuine affection for people, there's not a lot of prejudice there, she's a sweet soul. I love how funny she is, it's such a joy to be playing a character, it's my favorite type of character, the character that comes and makes you laugh, gets to scream 'shit' a bunch of times and then goes about her business."

Mairghread: "So many people, like I cannot stress how many people worked for three years, three and a half years we started to when it airs. The cast, everyone, people gave a good chunk of their lives to make this show and I'm so, so thankful and proud."

Mairghread: "Dragon Age: Inquisition is the only game I've played more than once, I loved it so freaking much. [...] Then my manager called and was like 'BioWare wants to know if you've ever heard of Dragon Age' and I'm like, 'Have I heard of Dragon Age?'"

Kimberly Brooks: [on how she found the voice for Miriam] "She's kind of close to me, just my natural voice, and I'm naturally a badass like that so, it really was just like, typecasting. We got to record as an ensemble, we had a great voice director. [...] We fine-tuned it I felt like, when we were, all of us. It was a great experience, coming up with the voice. [...] Tough but warm, it's the dichotomy." Mairghread: "You get a file [of auditions]. A lot of people could bring the badass, but she really brought the warmth, and really, your voice and performance was so warm, in like, this, quieter moments where you could feel a person instead of just a phenomenal killing machine. I knew instantly when I heard your audition, I was like 'that's it, that's absolutely it'. [...] Phil's audition was so smooth and sexy, I was like 'oh this is so nice', but actually what clinched it is there's a moment where he has to like, act badly, and it's actually really hard to get actors to act badly. A moment where he has to do a bad job of acting. And you went for it 100%, it was hilarious." Mairghread: "This has been one of the best fandoms I've ever had the privilege to interact with. I really mean it, you guys, like, there's videos of going shot-by-shot like 'look at what this means', it's like 'YES! Yes that is what that means!' You guys deep dive and you're so passionate and that just makes all the work that you put in, all the work that we put in just feel so worth it, and I really hope we do you proud. [...] You work so hard, there's some little background painter, and everyone tried so fricking hard, and I'm watching a video three years later which is like 'you know if you look at the architectural style of those columns, you can see that we are definitely in Tevinter'. And I'm like 'Fuck yeah!' Cause that background painter studied everything and worked their butt off and that IS the architectural style of Tevinter."

Phil: "Believe me, you have a lot of wonderful things to come. [...] Put on your captain's hat, because there are some ships coming." [source]

I've never been much for body horror, but I've been enjoying your way the body mirrors the horrors inflicted on the mind - or vice versa. Would you have any suggestions on what to read to find more of this?

There is probably a very obvious exemple out there, but after 25 minutes scrolling through tvtropes & my discord archives I have to say I'm drawing a blank on this one, so here are some recs that aren't quite "If your trauma manifested physically /If you got body horrored and it drove you insane, would that be fucked up or what" but close enough

Princess Mononoke, you know, the Ghibli movie. If you somehow dodged any spoiler about this movie in the past twenty years, the pitch is thus: you follow the story of Ashitaka, an Ainu prince who recently got cursed by a demon and forced into exile. It's relevant to your interest because it features a lot of these cursed characters, and the more the curse spread the more body horror they get (usually in the form of tentacles or various marks on the skin) and the more they lose themselves in favor of all-consuming hatred.

Library of Ruina, The story of Roland, a normal guy from a normal city (lying) who gets drafted into working for an eldritch library that gather people and turn them into books. Features a lot of people who get twisted physically and mentally the local plague. That being said, it is the sequel of another game called Lobotomy Corporation, which I highly recommend to play for extra context, though I don't think it features that specific brand of body horror.

We Know the Devil, a short visual novel about three kids at summer camp being sent to meet the devil. Features a few characters getting body horrored as a result of their own mind, but it's in a more positive light than the others.

Technically Fate/Stay Night and its sequel Fate/Hollow Ataraxia both qualify. FSN (story of a bunch of mages doing a battle royal to fulfil their wish) features a guy who slowly goes insane as his body turns into swords. FHA has a girl physically turning into a monster as she loses herself into her bloodlust. That being said both of these games are fucking long and the body horror is kind of a footnote compared to everything else, so though I do rec these games because they fucking rule, don't expect to see that trope early on.

I guess Soul Eater (manga about lads turning into weapons fighting witches) qualifies?? This one is admittedly stretching a lot, but madness as a disease manifests as your blood turning black.

Feel free to reply to this post if you've got any more exemple, or to send me an ask about it ig. It's a kind of body horror that is dear to my heart but I don't recall seeing a lot of it.

Inspired by @bisexualnathanyoung and @merrilark I'm here to give my opinions (that nobody asked for) about every single thing Rob has been in.

The Umbrella Academy: really good adaptation, Klaus is a work of art. I wish there were a billion seasons

The Last Bus: I mean... way too little Rob in it, but it was fun

Angel Dust: nice voice, bruh

Robot Chicken: nice voice, bruh. But also kinda gross

Trailer Park Boys: anyone please hook me up, I wanna watch the whole thing. I've only seen clips, love his observations about Canadian pizza

Young Offenders: love how he pulled this off even when he was sick. I live for the part about being gay and the protest scene is perfect

Mortal Engines: I like the movie even though it was way longer than it needed to be, but what the hell was that hair? Where does it say Tom needs to have 2005 pop punk hair?

Genius Picasso: Amazing, heartbreaking. Really shows the importance of oral sex. Also, please never paint a beard on Rob ever again, that was weird af

Bad Samaritan: PERFECT MOVIE, I have nothing bad to say about it

Mute: needed more Luba. This movie made me hate Paul Rudd lol we need to know what happened to Luba!!!

Song of Sway Lake: Ye old granny fucker! Love this movie, although it's a bit pretentious (sorry, Ari Gold! I love you, but you know you make things too poetic sometimes and that can rub me the wrong way)

Dicky: that was weird... that was a bit odd... love it

Geostorm: the three minutes Rob is in are masterful (I don't care what anyone says, the accent was good), the rest of it is pure shit

Three Summers: LOVE IT, but what an annoying protagonist. I'm talking about Keevy. Roland is awesome and deserves the world. Also, it did sound like Smells Like Teen Spirit!

Fortitude: what the fuck was that? This show sucks balls, why is Dennis Quaid involved in this? Vladek is hot though and I'm grateful for the full frontal nudity. Lots of people seem very disturbed by the scene, but I like it

Banshee Betty: represents very well the moment Rob was living love wise lol

Jet Trash: ugggggggggggh Lee is sexy, everyone else in this movie is fucking horrible. I hate every single character, especially Vix. Girl, get a personality. And someone please give Rob a burger, he's so thin

The Bigger Picture: it was good, nothing too special, but nice

Rideshare: CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE, does anyone know where I can find it?

The Messenger: Literally traumatized

Moonwalkers: really good, extremely funny. Love the cast, love the story, love the fake moon landing scene, love the tiger pigs

The Exchange: That was kinda cute, not gonna lie

The Road Within: PERFECT, as a person with mental health issues, I cry every single time I watch it. Fuck you, Marie, you're manipulative af. Rob did such a good and respectful job, I love it

Randumb - The Adventures of an Irish Guy in LA: omfg that was disturbing, but represents LA quite well

Anita B: love it, my Jewish heart swells with joy, especially during the Purim scene. Rob speaking Yiddish? UGH, SO HOT! He should've gotten the role of Max for The Book Thief

Love/Hate: overrated

Mortal Instruments: the only thing wrong with this movie is that there is no second one. I wanna see Simon as a vampire so bad! Iconic lines such as "I don't remember anything she'd want me to forget"

Push It: um... interesting. Lots of visuals and stuff.

Rituals: hippie fantasy and I'm living for it

In Love With...: it was cool, don't get exactly what the hell that was, but I was vibing

Immaturity For Charity: HILARIOUS! Very few times I laughed this hard

Me and Mrs. Jones: I don't care what anyone says, I love this show. Criminal what Rob did to his hair after the pilot, and Gemma is way too stupid to be a functional human, but Inca is our queen. Billy is way too charming and I can't cope

Accused: well, that was sad

The Borrowers: this movie has no business being that sexy. The scene with the motorbike? The scene with the bed? The scene in the plane? Spiller could get it and he's only five inches tall

Demons Never Die: very bad horror movie with a very bad name, but Rob was good in it

Misfits: PERFECTION! Nathan Young is the king of my heart. He can do anything to me, I wouldn't stop loving him even after he trippled himself.

Killing Bono: love the movie, love the cast, the soundtrack is immaculate (SPOTIFY, GET THE FUCKING SONGS IN THERE!), way funnier than I expected. Who tf gave Rob such a low harmony? His voice nearly disappeared.

Season of the Witch: average Nicolas Cage movie lol Kay is nice, love to see him on a horse. The ending was fucking wild. I wonder who we have to exorcise to end COVID

Coming Up - Dip: that was really good! The social commentary was actually kinda deep and relevant. I like the ending

A Turtle's Tale: Who the hell looked at Rob and thought he was the right fit for this role? I like it, but it was weird.

Red Riding Trilogy: HEARTBREAKING, I wanna give BJ a hug

Cherrybomb: love it, love the accents, very much early 2000s vibe and it makes me feel things. Luke's dad deserved better. Love the way Rob says the word tape in this

Ghostwood: um, what? Pop off I guess, baby Rob. Cool accent. Tim is how I imagine Nathan in the high school arc @seanfalco

Lowland Fell: what the hell did I just watch? What was the meaning of all that? Not a single person I know has a reasonable explanation for anything that happens in this

Rock Rivals: Guilty pleasure. Addison deserved better, they did him so wrong! I wish I could see Rob singing in this, but the boyband dances and outfits were really good

BitterSweet: needed more Rob. The neck kisses are just *chef's kiss*. Liam is such a good guy

The Summer of the Flying Saucer: I will do anything to watch this movie. I will suck any cock, fuck any ass, lick any pair of balls! PLEASE SOMEONE GET ME A COPY OF THIS MOVIE

An Créatúr: Bruh... what the fuck? Good job acting in another language and seeing Rob act as a little kid was so sweet. The big baby scene was at the same time terrifying and strangely alluring, don't know what that says about me. For legal reasons I'm not gonna comment on the scene where he's fed cake

Bel's Boys: pretty funny, love the clothes Max wears lol evil genius got defeated

The Clinic: Robbie, baby, why did you do this to your hair? At first, this looked like the beginning of a porno. Love the vulnerability of Shane and that tummy close-up was gold. They really violated his mouth there

Young Blades: King Louie is so underrated! I love him. Every scene with him is just gold. We really needed a spin-off about him finding a wife and all. Wish there was a ballet scene.

Foreign Exchange: Really good! First thing I ever saw Rob in when I was 9. You can blame this show for everything. So many good memories, it makes me feel hugged.

An Cuainín: does this short film actually exist? I never found any evidence of it lol if anyone has it, send it my way

A Dublin Story: wow, just wow. The subjects this short film touches on and the way it handles them are amazing, Rob was so young and his acting was already so powerful. He also managed to make Clocker very funny, I like it a lot.

Song For a Raggy Boy: what a pile of bricks, this movie is very very hard to watch. But it's a fun game of Spot the Rob. Lefties rise up!

The Tudors: I know his bit was cut, but boy did I spend hours watching over and over to see if I could spot him.
