#joaquin: about

[likeakiss]

Are you happy in your current relationship?

"That's a stupid fuckin' question. Do I look like the sort of bloke that would stay with someone if I wasn't happy?"

And it isn't that Joaquin's unhappy with Marisol - she's beautiful, young, and unspoiled in a way that many of the people he deals with aren't. Her innocence allows him to get away with a great deal, all while reaping the benefits that come from having someone to turn to at the end of a long day, and that isn't nothing.

That being said, she's very different from anyone else he's been with for any significant length of time. All the other lovers he's had would just as soon slit his throat as suck his cock, and he'd be lying if he said he didn't miss the excitement. In that regard, she'll never be able to completely satisfy him - she's just too soft.

my favorite line from Signs is “Excluding the possibility that a female Scandinavian Olympian was running around outside our house last night, what else might be a possibility?”

licking blood from your teeth. a raised scar. the old east end. testing the cut on your lip with your tongue. a loud bang from somewhere in the distance. ringing in your ears. refusing to change. slicking back your hair. whiskey and cigarillos. shoot first, ask questions later. remembering where you came from. having to fight for everything you’ve got. violence as a language that everyone understands. exit wounds. the pig-headed belief that you’re always right. struggling to let things go.

biography. (tws for poverty, xenophobia, violence, unhealthy relationship dynamics)

A third generation Peruvian immigrant, Joaquin Vidal has never known any home but London. Born and raised in Poplar (a notoriously impoverished area of the city) life was always going to be a struggle for his family - for stability, for money, for respect - but struggle they did. Joaquin’s grandparents went about things the old fashioned way, sacrificing every last shred of their dignity to scrape together enough money to take over the lease on the local newsagent after the previous owner passed away. They managed it, just barely, but even at the tail-end of the sixties, Poplar wasn’t the most tolerant of places, and the shopfront was regularly graffitied or worse.

By the time Joaquin was born, the Vidals had come to realise that London’s streets weren’t paved with gold, as they had hoped they would be when they arrived in England. They had their shop, true, but it wasn’t enough - the family was still living on top of each other, three generations packed into two rooms, living hand-to-mouth. His mother, Alejandra, was only sixteen when she discovered she was expecting, and a wedding was quickly organised in a desperate attempt to hang on to the precious little respectability the Vidals had garnered within their community. It was only two years before Joaquin's father vanished into the night, never to be seen again.

Joaquin was still young when he started looking for trouble (or when trouble started looking for him, as he’d always insist). He was a handsome, charismatic teenager, with a swagger in his step and an appetite for violence that only comes from feeling like you’ve got something to prove. It seemed as if he was destined for gang life from the get go, smoothly transitioning from playground bust-ups and brawling in the streets to the well-paid world of underground fighting. Joaquin was a workhorse in the ring, a surprisingly lithe figure that categorically refused to stay down, and it made him a hugely valuable commodity as a prize fighter. He would do whatever it took to win, and then some.

It was around this time that he set his sights on a woman known to the Jolly Rogers as Sweeney Todd. The former Crooked Hand, a man by the name of Alistair Winchester, had heard of Joaquin’s success on the underground fighting circuit, and was actively trying to recruit him to his cause. Sweeney was Alistair’s niece, and had been embroiled in the workings of the gang since she was very young, meaning she was already well established as a career assassin. Joaquin was drawn to her immediately - he knew they were made for each other.

As his relationship with Sweeney developed, Joaquin became as assimilated into the Jolly Roger lifestyle as she was, working his way up from pit fighter to contract killer in a matter of years. He would always prefer working with his hands (or, rather, his fists), but he learnt to wield a gun with precision and deadly force. As a rule, Joaquin and Sweeney were not supposed to work contracts together - they were both experts in their craft, but their dynamic was volatile and unpredictable, entirely inexplicable to anyone but themselves. People used to say that one day they’d either kill each other, or end up married - they chose the latter.

Realistically, it was never going to last between them - in fact, it’s some kind of miracle (or maybe a curse) that their marriage survived the eleven years it did. After one, final, explosive argument, the Vidals separated for good, but angry as they were, they couldn’t stay away from each other for long. Joaquin started taking contracts abroad, furthering his reputation with the Rogers while doing his best to forget about Sweeney. But he couldn’t, he couldn’t move on from her. He’s never been good at letting go.

When Alistair Winchester shit the bed and got himself nicked, it was only a matter of time before someone was called in to clean up his mess. Following the customary vote between senior members of the gang, Joaquin was compelled to return from his work overseas, not so much stepping into Alistair's shoes as kicking them out of his way. He never sought the title of the Crooked Hand, and his election came as a surprise, but who is he to spit in the face of democracy? If the Jolly Rogers wanted a show of force, Joaquin Vidal would be the one to give it to them.

He's been the head honcho for coming up on four years now, driving the Jolly Rogers into an era of prosperity that puts old man Winchester's legacy to shame. The treaty is starting to chafe at him, though, his patience for niceties running dangerously thin. No, he thinks its high time his people start making some more aggressive plays - show the Jabberwocks and everyone else who really runs the streets of London.

other things.

Before he was the Crooked Hand, Joaquin was known as Sykes, after the character from Oliver Twist. Not the most flattering of code names, but he’s never been much of a reader, and didn’t understand the connotations until much later on. 

Joaquin calls in on his mother approximately once every six months. They didn’t have the best of relationships after she remarried and started a new better family, but she’s old now, and the only surviving relative he’s still in touch with.

He's not usually much of a gambler, but he goes out of his way to attend the Royal Ascot every year, delighting both in betting on the horse races and terrorising the unfortunate toffs forced to share space with him for the duration of the event.

He’s a passionate West Ham supporter, and will thank you not to remind him how poorly they’ve been performing in the premiere league.

To date, Joaquin has never seen a cow in real life.

There isn’t a single event that could convince Joaquin to wear a tie. He didn’t even wear one to his wedding.

These three are the main stars in but a small portion of our greater Vampire the Masquerade-based corner of the World of Darkness! Noa and Joaquin are both victims of the family-based clan, the Giovanni, but both decided to take their approaches to the matter in very different directions. How will their story end? Probably tragically! Nyth is from outside the family, but thanks to the relationship he and Noa establish, he quickly gets roped into the drama just as fast!

Edit: Added Nyth!

Let me get this straight, in your ideal version of TFATWS:

The opening would be about Steve not staying in the past so that he and Bucky can “get back together,” even though they were absolutely never together in the first place, thus making them the focus.

You would then have Steve and Sam (two people who are best friends btw) get into it over the shield, because even in your fantasies for a “better” show, Steve would be a crappy friend to Sam.

Then you have Sam still needing money and going through the racist loan stuff. Mind you, this is your fantasy version of the show, right? So you could have Sam be financially fine (like Scott, Clint, Bucky, and, well, every other supe post Endgame), but, no, he still has to have that extra bit of bad luck.

Then Joaquin is what? Randomly and vaguely homophobic for some reason????

And ep 1 ends with Steve… apologizing but then telling Sam about the government trying to take the shield, which implies he wants/expects Sam to do something about it?

Oh IKYFL 😭😭

Stickies remain unhinged I see.

I mean, okay, on the one hand, who am I to judge anyone’s headcanons?

On the other hand…

#sam wilson #tfatws #like look don’t throw sam in your sticky nonsense #or joaquin for that matter #because that honestly could’ve just been a post about how you wished steve and bucky hooked up after endgame #like… why is sam in it lmao #don’t try to disguise a sticky fic by acting like these ideas would someone be more respectful of sam 🤪

The artbook finally came in the mail and it looks so glorious!!! I’ll have better shots later, I’m going out to eat with a friend, but I took these on my phone. Just a quick snapshot of some of the gems in here

The front and back

My boy Joaquin!!! I’ll definitely have to transcribe the words later

There are some pages of the Wilson family home, the boat, and the docks, but seeing these made me tear up

This is a zoomed in angle of this scene but yeah

I made a gif set of this scene but to see this in format is just!! Them!!! The Wilson Boys!

This is the last page of the book. All my feels can’t even encapsulate my reaction flipping to the end to see this

When I’m not out and about I’ll do a proper post. Until then I hope you enjoyed these sneak peaks like I did!
