her: I would be so good at being a dead wife, in a movie that is. I’d go under the covers and laugh cutely and play wrestle while there’s bright nearly ethereal lighting in the background of the shot for some reason. I’d walk along the beach and when I see my movie husband filming me I’d be like “hahaha noo don’t film me” and playfully try to cover the camera. I would be so good at appearing in flashbacks where I give my grieving husband vague advice on how to deal with the situation he’s currently in. My slow motion montages would progress the narrative sooo well.
Lorgar: Sweetie I love your creativity but maybe this isn’t something you should say to your real life husband.
I'm fucking dying lmao Lorgar might try and deny his beloved her deadwife movie moment, but you know he's just as fucking unhinged about their relationship at times like
Beloved: Lorgar, what would you do if I was murdered?
Lorgar: My love, I would burn the entire galaxy to ash until I found the one who killed you and wring their neck myself.
Beloved: <3
Lorgar <3
Meanwhile Guilliman is overhearing this conversation like

Ranking Yellowjackets Characters by their Likelihood of Having a Tumblr
Tumblr media
6. Lottie
Now she might have the greatest Tumblr vibes out of all of them, but unfortunately she lives in the middle of nowhere without any kind of electronic device except a landline, so her chances of using any social media are next to none. This is very sad because I know her cult-y cottagecore blog would slap.
Tumblr media
5. Taissa
Now we have someone who at least HAS a phone, but this ungodly void of a website is so notoriously unmarketable that anybody running for office would have no business using it. Given the reputation she needs to uphold, I can’t imagine Tai uses social media for anything except campaigning.
Tumblr media
4. Shauna
Poor thing is trying so hard to act like she’s normal, and having a tumblr is not going to help. The only reason she would end up on here is because she has yet again failed at that. I should not have to elaborate on this one.
Tumblr media
3. Natalie
Now I highly doubt that Nat likes social media, but if she used any of them it would be tumblr. You don’t have to be anonymous, but there’s also no pressure to “reveal yourself,” and probably plenty of people on here who like the same bands as her. She might also like all those aesthetic posts with edgy quotes.
Tumblr media
2. Misty
She’d come here after the Reddit blackout, if she wasn’t here before. I can’t imagine she appreciates having to sort between actual Citizen Detectives and regular true crime fans, so she still prefers Reddit. But she’d at least enjoy the musical side of Tumblr.
Tumblr media
1. Van
Niche and/or old movies, and gays abound? Yeah, Van’s used Tumblr. And would’ve been active on Tumblr until her cancer diagnosis caused her to shut down. All her regular customers are using it too, and if she didn’t hear about it from them, then she’s had a blog since its original days. And she definitely likes typical “Tumblr humor.”

ngl guys i'm so much more invested in the middle aged versions of the yellowjackets than their teen wilderness drama. HUGE fan of truecrime fanatic and local creep misty, ADORE disastrous senator-elect taissa trying to keep her life together, BIG into shauna's soccer mom murder comedy with her husband and daughter, LOVE nat and lottie's awkward reunion and dancing around "so are you a cult leader or not" thing. if the show were just the wilderness part i'd be far more bored tbh, it'd be fun but i'm not that into shauna and jackie's Thing except as a catalyst for adult shauna to snap, and i like the folk horror best when it's leaking into the present day with "we brought it back with us".

I'm finally rewatching Cruel Summer and Kate/Mallory is still so freaking good. Really the best way I can describe it is it feels like there is an alternate universe where it isn't canon and everyone is really mad at it for queerbaiting, it has that specific energy

Masters of the Air characters as aesthetics
John 'Bucky' Egan
Tumblr media
Bucky was a golden hour, warm hues of gold and amber casting a soft, ethereal glow over everything. Giggles and banters over a sip of liquor. He was a low hum in a pub, filled with chatter and joy. Bucky was a worn sheepskin jacket, familiar and comforting. Waves crash against rugged cliffs, vivid colors pop against a backdrop of blue skiess. He was gentle and dominating, yet he asked to be taken care of behind closed doors. Back arching high against the bed sheet, hands pinned and left marks everywhere. He was a smoky jazz club alive with the sound of saxophones and clinking glasses, the sound of people laughing so loud until the stomach hurts. Grass stained knees. Running through the rain without an umbrella. He was classical music blasting from a cheap speaker. He was Apollo playing his instruments.
Gale 'Buck' Cleven
Tumblr media
Buck was a calm before a storm. A misty forest enveloped in fog, with towering trees draped in moss and winding paths leading to hidden glens and secret clearings. He was both silent movies and thunderstorms that you'd feel inside your chest. Raised eyebrows and cold hands, pinching the bridge of your nose. Watching a painting a bit too long before the gallery was closed. Long walks to the library. Winter winds and freezing hands, subtle glances across the room. He was soft murmur of reassurance and a gentle touch behind the doors. Consensual and always asked if it's okay. Dark red lipstick, chilled red wine. A quaint cottage nestled in the countryside with a thatched roof and ivy-covered walls, surrounded by a garden bursting with fragrant herbs and vibrant flowers. He was Hestia tending the sacred flames.
Harry 'Croz' Crosby
Tumblr media
Harry was the swirling feelings in your stomach night before a trip. A vintage typewriter sitting on a weathered wooden desk, surrounded by stacks of yellowing paper and antique books. The soft autumn sun. He was handwritten letters and cracked statues. Silver waves lapping at the shore and seashells scattered across the sand like scattered jewels. The rattling of rain against the window, messy and needed direction. He was scribbles and ink stains, messy notebooks, and the tea kettle whistling in the silent morning. He was urgent and hurry, but comforting afterwards. He was everything about pleasure behind closed doors. A disheveled bedroom with rumpled sheets and discarded clothing strewn across the floor, with posters peeling off the walls and sunlight filtering through grimy windows. He was Poseidon guarding with his trident.
Robert 'Rosie' Rosenthal
Tumblr media
Rosie was a vintage record player spinning vinyl records, filling the room with the warm crackle of music. He was sweet smiles and clear eyes. Paper planes. Overgrown rose bushes. That one song you always skipped but ended up loving it. He was tweed jackets and loose blouses. A field of wildflowers stretching out as far as the eye can see, with colorful blooms dancing in the breeze and the scent of earth and pollen filling the air. Gentle and nurturing, caring and soft behind the doors. He was a giver and always maintained satisfaction. He was pink-tinted blush. A pair of combat boots scuffed from countless adventures. Smiling at strangers on the street. He was all kind and modesty, but also Athena leading battles.

❦ MISTY
cw: mature, some violence, reader is a stripper
@kakashisboothangg @factae here’s part 1 ;)
PART 2 | MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
kakashi didn’t mind going to the strip club. he was pretty shameless reading his icha icha books in public anyway, so it wasn’t a stretch that he and guy occasionally had a couple drinks around some dancers.
he said hi to the waitress when he entered, who gave him a smile and got his usual ipa for him as he sat down. the days he went to the strip club with guy, he arrived a bit earlier to see his favourite dancer.
and when he says favourite, it’s because every time she comes out for her solo dance, and sees him in the front row, her face flashes with a nasty scowl and a roll of her eyes that he can only see because he’s so close.
upon their first meeting, kakashi was a little too drunk and apparently spilled something that he can’t remember on her. since then, he has yet to apologize because he honestly thought your scowl and scrunched up nose was the cutest thing he’d every seen.
so when the stage lights changed colour, the music started up, and you came out, he hid his smile behind a sip of his beer as you narrowed your eyes at him.
despite the multiple eyes on you when you danced, your focus always found your way back to his.
he knew you liked him. if you really, truly, hated him, you’d have him kicked out of the club. yet here he was, front row to your dance, heterochromatic eyes following your body wherever you went.
the smoke crept along the bottom of the stage to shroud you in mystery, it added a little element of surprise when you appeared through the mist, eyes locked with kakashi’s and an expression of disinterest as you took the cash he was holding out. he was so entranced by you that he didn’t even notice the dark bags under your eyes.
then you were gone. the mist subsided and the music faded out into the regular ambiance. this was the time guy usually showed up, and thoughts of you were put in the back of his mind, not forgotten, but hoping.
he didn’t drink a lot that night, he got guy a cab cause of his stumbling and decided to walk home. kakashi was never too concerned with the area being dark, he could easily take care of himself, but his shinobu instincts always kept an ear out for anyone else in trouble.
so when he heard a small commotion around the corner, it was second nature to butt his head in.
but seeing you, shaking slightly with a knife clutched in your hand held out towards two guys; one shuffling through your bag haphazardly thrown away from you and the other towering over you, it only took a second for him to appear behind them.
the first guy he grabbed was the one intimidating you, with a hold of his collar and the advantage of a surprise, he easily took him down, his head eliciting a sickening crack against the pavement.
it was a bit gruesome, and it caught the attention of the one with his hand in your bag, who then attempted to grab your things and run. with kakashi’s fist still clutching the other’s collar, he couldn’t go after him, so with the throw of a couple of kunai’s that threateningly pierced the perpetrators ear and struck the wall, the guy was dropping your things and running off, the one on the ground quickly following as he cradled his bleeding head.
with them out of sight, kakashi grabbed your bag and moved back to your shaking body. upon closer inspection, he noticed sniffles and tears coming from your shaking figure.
“hey,” he said in an attempt to be soft, but it sounded a bit awkward. “they’re gone now, you don’t need to be scared.”
you flashed him a murderous look.
“i’m not scared,” you bit and grabbed your bag from his hands. “i’m exhausted. shit—i know not to come this way, i just wanted to get home.”
you slumped over your bag, and kakashi could hear your sniffles. he squatted down to be level with you.
“go away, i’m fine now.” you mumbled.
“i’d rather not leave you crying and alone in an alley.”
“i would like nothing more.” you sniffled.
kakashi sighed, placing a soft hand on your arm and, surprisingly, you didn’t flinch away.
“at least let me walk you home, i know you hate me, but you’re in no shape to be alone right now.”
to his surprise, you nodded. not only that, but you held out your hand for him to help you up, which he abided by. as he pulled you to your feet, he was about to crack a joke when you fell limp.
“woah!” his arms caught you and held you tight against him, “easy, girl.”
he laughed a bit to himself, but it quickly died out when you didn’t say anything back. upon closer inspection, kakashi saw your eyes closed, soft snores escaped your lips and he realized you passed out.
the only thing he could think to do was pick you up and take you home.
you immediately snuggled into his arms, completely oblivious that you fell asleep in the middle of an alley. and it was only after a couple blocks that kakashi remembered that he doesn’t know where you live.

just learned about aquilan shield custodes... oh to have a huge golden bodyguard following you like a scary dog 24/7, not even leaving you alone to sleep... it'd be a shame if he got a little too possessive, even more so than his duty could justify... a shame if one of the emperor's finest found himself utterly besotted with his ward, wanting things that custodians aren't made to want... a real shame if you became the prize and obsession of your big golden boy, knowing that there was basically no force strong enough, not even space marines, to keep you away from his affections... 👀
Having a Custodes get attached to you would be a weird fucking thing. I mean most of them are super stoic even more so than Astartes, but they are capable of emotion. I mean in Saturine Valdor smiles at a guardsmen making a joke about stripping naked and running into battle, and in another book I can't remember a few custodes joke about another having a stick up his ass.
An Aqulian Shield being placed in change of protecting a particular human and having to spend so much of his time protecting you, perhaps you don't even know he is there at first, until he eventually reveals himself to you. You know he's always watching now, always making sure nothing ever happens to you. You're his charge, his one and only to protect and make sure the future comes to pass.
He doesn't know what love is, but surely this feeling in his chest in that, yes? His overwhelming desire to keep you away from everything, to keep you in his light. Can Custodes love? He's heard of Astartes tempted by such a thing, but could the Emperor give him such a flaw? He doesn't know, but he knows he wants you.

Van Ito through the Years.
2065: After her brother decided to work for Arasaka, Van took to the streets. Her stubborn attitude had dictated that she would rather be homeless than suckling the teat of the company that killed her parents. It wasn't long before she found family within a small gang that ran a couple streets in Watson called The Neon Foxes. They peddled drugs, hassled people, and occasionally robbed a bodega or two here and there. Like most small time gangs, they had dreams of making a name for themselves but in a place like Night City, that was always going to be a struggle. The gang was made up mostly of teenagers and young adults, their leader, Dodger, being the oldest of the bunch at twenty-five. They did find themselves in a handful of gangwars with other small gangs for their territory. It was during one of these fights Van got caught by a grenade and while she made it out with her life, her arm and hand weren't so lucky. Her chosen cyberware to replace what was lost would eventually become a staple part of her look.
2068: At eighteen, Van left the family she had made within The Neon Foxes. She was still young and disillusioned enough to have hopes and dreams and she desperately needed to be making eddies in order to achieve those dreams. Van began working as a dancer at the Cobra Club, a sleezy club found on Jig-Jig Street. While she had been on her own for many years, this was the first time she truly felt independent as she had her own studio apartment, a paying job, and was consistently booking shows with her band Vito and the Sparks. She still found herself pulled into doing jobs, her connections from The Neon Foxes reaching out and asking for help from time to time. This would also be the year she met the man she considered to be her closest choom, Jackie Welles. The two were put on a job together by a mutual contact and after things went south, Jackie pulled her bleeding ass out of trouble and the rest is history.
2072: While her music career was still the most important thing to Van, it didn't pay the bills. With someone like Jackie by her side, it was easy to slip into the solo lifestyle. They shared connections and jobs, doing what they could to help one another out whenever they had the chance. This time of her life was filled with scrapes, bruises, and bullet holes but nothing she couldn't handle. It was around this time that her band fell out, the other members putting other priorities over it. With the lack of success they experienced, it wasn't a surprise to Van, but she was still disappointed. Starting over was never easy but the struggle was alleviated by Jackie, Misty, and the few contacts she still had from her old gang, though they were reluctant to help her since she left them. She would drop the stage name and rebrand herself a bit
2077: Losing Jackie was a blow she hadn't been preparing for but it helped her when she found out she was a ticking time bomb not long for this world. If there was a heaven or a hell or some sort of afterlife, maybe he'd be there waiting. Van's impending death was a bitter sweet feeling as the aftermath of the job they had done set her up with some incredible connections. People like Lizzy Wizzy and Kerry Eurodyne basically falling into her lap. It was like she was finally getting where she wanted to be in life and by some cruel twist of fate, Night City would take one last thing from her. While that thought could have paralyzed her, Van decided to roll with it, taking advantage of favours owed to her in the off chance her and the rag-tag group of friends she had made on this journey could manage to find a way to prevent her death. That is where she is now, living her life day to day, taking complete advantage of every opportunity that comes her way, writing music, working stages all over Night City, and planning The Skin and Chrome tour with Lizzy Wizzy and the Metadwarves.
