Vladimir Makarov Headcannons (Dad Edition)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Single dad/Widower
You'd be the only thing he'd care about, other than himself.
Nicknames like 'krolik' (bunny) if you were female, and 'medved' (bear) if you were male.
If you didn't have heterochromia like him, he'd make you wear contacts, even as an infant.
He'd be the type of dad to tell you not to drink but then would give toddler you a shot of straight vodka.
Your first language would be Russian, then English.
He would ask for parenting advice from his men, but then would never take it, insisting he knew better.
Would refuse to let anyone other than himself hold/carry you as an infant, scared that they'll accidentally drop you or you'll be kidnapped.
If someone were to accidently drop you or hurt you in anyway, even if their his most trustworthy ally, they'd never be seen again, or alive atleast.
He'd put you on one of those childleashes, even if he was with you in a safe house.
He'd always keep an eye on you, even if he was out terriozing countries, he'd have a camera watching over you.
When your an infant, he'd have multiple baby monitors, watching you and making sure your still breathing, he'd be absolutely terrified of SIDS.
Any room you would be staying in, the door would he bullet and fire proof, with dozens of locks on it.
Wouldn't be very involved because he wouldn't want to get attached, aswell as not being able to due to his terrorism and not wanting to put you at risk when your still an innocent child.
Anything you want, you'd get, like Veruca Salt.
He'd put you into the 'family business' in your late teens, 16-18 years of age.
He'd home school you, teaching you everything he knew, aswell as making you grow up with the same ideologies as him.

Now, a random list of my unasked for Charlie and the Chocolate factory hcs (based on the 2005 movie)
1. Veruca can speak English, French and Russian
2. Mike has spent more time playing CitySkylines than any other game
3. Violet can’t even taste gum anymore, she’s grown numb to the flavor (that’s why she was so excited she could taste Wonka’s gum)
4. Both Violet and Mike have chronic pain after the factory
5. The first time they saw each other in person again they just sat in understanding silence
6. Augustus has scarily good senses (he can hear and smell everything)
7. Veruca was too scared to be near her pets after the factory despite how much she genuinely loved them
8. Violet fought her mom tooth and nail to stay blue
9. Charlie hates being hot because he’s so used to being cold
10. Mike’s really good at double dutch
11. Augustus develops claustrophobia after the factory but has an obsession with swimming/learning to swim
12. Since it was so loud and overwhelming in the TV Mike grew to hate loud noises, he also hates the buzzing of electronics. He plays music almost all the time to drown out any white noise and doesn’t play fps games with the volume on
13. Charlie and Veruca actually get along well once they meet again
14. Charlie’s always wanted a pet bird
15. Augustus’ mom swings into extreme diet culture after the factory and he doesn’t grow a healthy relationship with his body until he lives on his own
16. Violet’s parents are divorced and she goes to live with her dad after the factory since her mom only made the trauma worse
17. Violet and Mike were the only kids who tried (and also failed) to take legal action against Wonka
18. Charlie is under extreme pressure as he grows up in the factory and once the company is his he tries to fix its issues. Once Wonka passes away he can’t live like that anymore and he sells the company, moving out
19. At first the other kids hated and distrusted Charlie but once they realize he’s the only one trying to help them they don’t blame him for the tour
20. Veruca’s dad was the only adult to make positive change as a parent but Veruca was too far gone by then and only started to grow by her own efforts later in life

In general I’m pretty neutral on the West-End and Broadway CATCF musical. There are things I like and dislike about both. But something about Russian Veruca on Broadway just really scratches an itch in my brain. I can only imagine her as Russian now

Veruca Salt
So much of a brat that the most recent musical has a song where they rip her apart to a Russian ballet style song.
(link to lyrics from a song from the show that show her brattiness)
Kromer
Yes, haha funny Spamton word, but listen to me. She's killed HUNDREDS at the very least. She's tormenting her childhood friend. She does weird Catholicism-ish stuff. [This next bit is spoilers] She turns into a fucked up monster. [Okay that's all.] AND, most of all, she's hot.

I agree with Iggy, Hop, Lemmy, and Hip. 1971 and Broadway are my favorites! I loved Veruca and her solo in 1971, and I loved that Broadway made her Russian + made her demise song sound like the Nutcracker! My favorite lines: “I don’t care how, I want it now!” And “Daddy, buy me North Korea!”….Man, Veruca really reminds me of Kootie Pie, a bit.

Can I be honest? Out of all the iterations, Broadway Veruca is my favorite. I don’t know why, but something is really appealing about her being a Russian ballerina. I honestly love it. Plus, the fact she was STILL ALIVE after being torn apart is impressive. Like, the girl is so rich she can’t die. She’s like Kenny from South Park, except rich and a huge jerk.
omg yes it I get it!!! russian ballerina veruca is so good. I love when new iterations of stuff add on to characters in interesting ways like that. and Y E S the musical is very violent I kinda love it-

Hello! I was just wondering, but what is your opinions on the Broadway versions of the kids? Personally, I loved Veruca and her dad(Oleg) being Russian.
Hi! I ADORE the Broadway version's designs for the characters, but I was never a fan of how all the kids died.
However, the West End version was apparently originally going to end like this, which would have made it my favorite version by far!

as i had promised before, finally im writing a post about my thoughts on catcf
sorry it's quite messed up, i'm gonna talk about a lot of things, compare the movie to the book and their takes on the characters and their fate. also i'd like to remind that it's all entirely subjective and based on my feelings only!! also i have seen the movie and read the book in russian translation so might have missed some details lost in translation. sorry if anything offends you, i didn't intend it and im open to discussions ,,,
AUGUSTUS GLOOP he didn't seem to have much time and personality both in the book and in the movie? wasn't his only character trait and only vice that he eats a lot? (my highest kin) what did he even do wrong? he was told that everything in the room was edible so he actually started eating everything? what a crime in the movie they tried to fix him or exactly make him worse and showed him being mean to charlie; but the oompaloompas don't criticize him for that but instead for being FAT AND STUPID!!!! i don't think he was that deserving his fate especially comparing him to other kids, but at the same time his punishment seemed the lightest? sure he was scared when he was sucked into the pipe, but in the end he seemed to be happy? he didn't end up that traumatized and even managed to enjoy some chocolate
VIOLET BEAUREGARD when i watched the movie for the first time, i wondered why her song shows her as a bad person not because of her competitiveness, arrogance or obsession with victory but.... for chewing too much gum?? the book gave me the answer to this question: book violet doesn't have almost any personality aside her chewing gum addiction; it was mentioned that she holds a record for chewing gum but it wasn't really emphasized? so i liked how they developed this part of violet in the movie making her obsessed with competitions and prizes, while leaving some details showing it's the pressure of her family which forced her to be like that. she's still a grotesque caricature supposed to be annoying but she's a much more colourful (?) and memorable character there imo.
VERUCA SALT such a cute and annoying at the same time spoiled material gurrrrl both in the movie and the book i love her portrayal sm. also i like how her song showcases that her parents are responsible for spoiling her and they share the same punishment and that episode in the movie when she befriended violet with a nasty smile . such an iconic moment i adored it
MIKE TEAVEE i adored him hes such a funny little brat!!! but his song with the whole "television bad books good" message is understandable in the book but when you hear it in a MOVIE youre watching ON THE TV that makes no sense btw i like how in the book they showcase the problem of parents who ignore their children and would rather let them spend all day in front of the tv than communicate with them. that implies mike has some family issues as well too bad it wasn't shown in the movie
WILLY WONKA book and movie versions of wonka are quite different but i love them both equally willy is such an amazing character :c book wonka seems to be just an easygoing guy in a constant silly goofy mood who actually cares about the children but just lets it slide as he knows they won't be harmed? movie wonka on the other hand seems more whimsy and cursed??? he appears creepy and threatening, with some sadistic vibes even, and behind his appearance of a funny eccentric mememan making cannibalism jokes, he hides SUFFERING and deep childhood traumas i liked how they made wonka's character more deep and dramatic, but the question is - does a character like him really need this tragic backstory? what does this twist add to the whole story? i shall return to this question a bit later
CHARLIE BUCKET book charlie is sweet but looks like he was supposed to be an unpersonalized character so that every reader could associate him with themselves... so hes a bit bland and lacks some individuality imo :c sure we see his generosity (hes willing to share his chocolate with his starving family) and kindness (he's worried about what will happen to other kids - i almost cannot remember that in the movies) but through the course of the plot he does almost nothing but feeling qUeEr fEeLinGs about the wonders of the factory and not getting himself into trouble in the book there's no problem in bringing all charlie's relatives to the factory - so he doesn't face the dilemma of leaving his family to become the heir of the factory or staying with his loved ones. but in the movie that's a major problem and a whole new plotline! we can see charlie's doubts and insecurity, wonka's contradictive feelings taking him over, find out the reasons behind wonka's rejection of family - and it's charlie who helps him. this plotline is even more important for charlie's character development rather than wonka: we see charlie in action, we see how caring he is, how much he is willing to sacrifice for his family, see his sincere desire to help wonka feel happier... the final scene gives such a warm feeling it sends me to tears,,,,, finally willy wonka is not alone...
FINAL THOUGHTS speaking about the message of the story? i felt that the book told that one must be kind and generous to reach happiness? the movie sure has that idea too but it's sorta more focused on the importance of family and not being alone?" once again im unsure about the book :c tbh as the protagonist doesn't have much of a personality and actions, it seemed to me at times that the message is one must be rule-following and not getting into trouble ?? also replace tv and chewing gum with youtube and idk energy drinks - and it can easily turn into a conservative pamphlet on how the new generation is bad and amoral - but it doesn't seem like one thanks to the genius of roald dahl!! his manner of writing and sense of humour is fantastic so in conclusion i prefer the movie to the book (for the first time in my life ahhahha) but idk if they're actually worth being compared ... and of course i don't think the book is worse or anything - it's just not really my cup of tea i guess? though i still enjoyed it a lot and had a great time reading it ^^
thank you for attention!!! if you think i was wrong in some aspects feel free to correct me ,, and once again id like to remind that it's not some kind of analysis just my personal thoughts and feelings and it may differ from yours have a nice day!

Unexpected
An Augustus/Veruca story
Ding, dong.
Augustus looked up from his plate of sausage. It was 7:00 at night. Who could possibly be ringing the doorbell at this time of day? Augustus shrugged, got up from the table and went downstairs to investigate.
Ding, dong.
As Augustus approached the door of his small apartment, his hand quivered. Who could this be? Just to be safe, he went and got a couple of his father's butcher knives. Then, he opened the door...
"Augustus?"
Veruca stood in the doorway. Silhouetted against the Oberammergau moonlight, her features were hardly discernable, but Augustus could tell it was her from her shining black hair and British accent.
"Hallo, Veruca! Warum nicht reinkommen und mit mir und meinen Eltern Würste essen?" said Augustus rapidly.
"I-I'm sorry, I don't speak German..." said Veruca.
Augustus quickly corrected himself, then said the whole sentence over again in English, and much slower. "Hi, Veruca! Vhy not come in und have some sausage vith me und my parents?"
"Ah, I see!" said Veruca. "Yes, I would love to come in and have some of your father's famous sausages! Plus, look... I brought games we can play!"
Augustus looked over the games in Veruca's hands. Scrabble... Twister... Life...
"Okay zen! Just... don't make me play Tvister. I'm fery, fery bad at it."
"If that be the case, okay then!" said Veruca as she followed Augustus upstairs into the apartment. When Augustus reached the kitchen, he put the two knives away.
Veruca went into the dining room and waved hello to Mr. and Mrs. Gloop. Mr. Gloop waved back and pulled up a chair for Veruca. Veruca set her games in a corner of the room, took off her mink coat, and sat down. Mrs. Gloop went and got the pan of bratwurst from the stove top, and served some to Veruca, indicating her husband at the other end of the table. Veruca, having seen Mr. Gloop in Augustus's interview when he had won the golden ticket, winked knowingly. Then, she picked up her fork and knife, cut off a piece of one of her fat, juicy bratwurst links, and tasted it. It was perfect. Just the right amount of pepper and sage. She gave Mr. Gloop a thumbs up, and he whispered, "Danke," under his breath.
Augustus tilted his head toward Veruca. "Scho, vat brings you to my house at zis hour?"
Veruca explained "I was visiting Aunt Tatiana and Uncle Mikhail in Moscow. Then I flew back home, but my private jet broke down and I had to stop over in Munich. I needed a place to spend the night, and I knew that you lived not too far from Munich, so I decided to stay at your house for the night. That is, if you'll let me."
"Of course ve'll let you spend ze night here!" Mr. Gloop stated.
"Thank you!" cried Veruca. "I don't want to have to sleep in some old Red Roof Inn!"
"You von't," said Mrs. Gloop. "You can schleep in Augustus's room."
"Great!" hollered Veruca.
Dinner went by rather fast, although faster for the Gloops than for Veruca. After dinner, the two children went into the living room and played Scrabble and Life. Augustus liked how Veruca had brought over the modern version of Life, which included cats and dogs. The four Gloop family cats were watching from their cat tree, and seemed to be happy about that component as well. When Augustus landed on a space instructing him to add a cat to his car, he could hear soft purrs from the other end of the room. Augustus played very well, but Veruca won. He gave her a high-five for winning. After the games, they went into Augustus's room.
Veruca looked around Augustus's bedroom. It was different from her own in so many ways. While Veruca's curtains were plush purple velvet, Augustus's were brown satin. While Veruca had images of the many things from Gucci and Prada she longed for on her walls, Augustus had pictures of his parents and his cats. And while Veruca's bed was a cushiony pink canopy bed, Augustus's was a simple bed with a red and white comforter on top. The comforter on his bed almost nearly matched the shirt he had worn to the chocolate factory. Veruca asked, "Why?" He explained, "It looks like a candy cane. Und I love candy canes!"
Veruca nodded. Of course it had something to do with food. She laid her mattress out on the floor and put her flowery sleeping bag on top.
Veruca and Augustus changed into their pajamas, then brushed their teeth and washed their faces. They watched television until bedtime, when Augustus got into his bed and Veruca snuggled down into her sleeping bag. Persephone came into the room and cuddled next to Veruca.
Augustus laughed. "I zink she likes you, Veruca!"
Veruca felt Persephone nuzzling her arm. "I guess she does!" the rich girl agreed.
"Purrrrrr!" said Persephone. Veruca scratched the white and gray cat's ears. Soon, Mr. and Mrs. Gloop came into the room, each holding a glass of water.
Mrs. Gloop handed her glass of water to Veruca, and Mr. Gloop handed his to Augustus. The two children then had their drinks and handed their glasses of water back to the parents. Mr. Gloop turned off the light.
"Gute Nacht," said Mrs. Gloop.
"Süße Traüme," Mr. Gloop added.
Veruca knew those German words. So, she replied, "Gute Nacht." Mr. and Mrs. Gloop waved as they left, closing the door behind them.
Before Veruca went to sleep, she whispered to Augustus, "Gute Nacht und Suße Traüme."
"Gute Nacht und Suße Traüme," Augustus replied.
Then, all six of them (yes, six, since the cats were in the room, too,) dozed off. Veruca had had a great visit with Augustus- even better than her visit with Aunt Tatiana and Uncle Mikhail. She decided that in the morning, she'd call her parents to tell them she'd decided to spend a few more weeks out of house, in Oberammergau, with Augustus- but that could wait until morning. Veruca drifted off to sleep.
So did Augustus, just feeling good that something unexpected had turned out great.
And so did the cats. Of course.
The End.

🐶💀 ((if this is okay?))
meet the people in my muse’s life
[ ALWAYS!! ]
🐶 - A Pet
      Veruca actually... has a lot of pets. She wants to be a veterinarian (or famous ballerina, whatever happens) when she grows up so she has a natural love and affinity for animals and animal care (not that they don’t all have professional caretakers-- she just helps). She owns 2 cats (Cахар and пряность/Sugar and Spice), 3 dogs (Klava, Lesya, and Maksim), 7 horses (which I’m sure I don’t need to name there’s 7. 7 horses. I’m not making 7 horse names), 6 guinea pigs (also not naming them but they’re all variants of “soft” or “small”), and 2 hamsters (Manya and Matrona). She loves every single one of them and spends time with them all daily. Any chance she gets, she will go on for hours about her sweet puppies.
💀 - Someone Deceased
      Veruca doesn’t know many people who aren’t her father’s business partners or her family, and even then she generally only interacts with her parents. She only remembers speaking once with her maternal grandfather (who was rather irritable and kind of rude) when she was very small. He’s an ex-politician-- not a well liked one. He passed away from a heart attack while yelling at one of his maids for not cleaning a clock properly; that was the second time she ever saw him six months after initially speaking with him.

me? okay. Veruca’s Russian name is Veruska Willovna Povrennova. Povrennova is an altered version of the Russian word for salt, which is:  поваренная соль (povarennaya sol').

She is a self obsessed snooty french doll who spends most of her screentime taking pity on herself because she thinks of herself as too special and important to be in a toy room even though everyone is niceys to her
The fandom made her a cool lesbian
