Even Our Ancestors Sang Popipo

even our ancestors sang Popipo

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here’s what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back

Dani is dodging some well-meaning authorities, but cuz her powers are on the fritz she can't fly. She's gonna have to trick them.

It should be easy; there's a weird Halloween party going on, there's people in jumpsuits, and for some reason the venue chosen was some sort of semi-demolished area of the city.

Whatever.

Her problem, the nosey cops asking where her parents are, keep following her.

She turns a corner, sees a lady wearing a ripped jumpsuit with fake blood on her face, white and brown hair that's really uncontrollable and cool, and is a little away from a group of people that are clearly the main entertainment for the party.

Perfect.

If she can get a celebrity to play along, the cops will never question it!

She darts forward and grabs the lady's hand.

"Hey, wait-!" The lady says, her accent thick as she tries to detach her hand.

Dani doesn't let her.

She turns to the cops.

"Look, there's my mom, now stop following me!" She shouts, ignoring the shocked noises behind her.

The cops, for their part, are actually backing away slowly.

Then they just turn and run.

Dani sighs and tries to let go of the lady's hand...but the lady is the one clutching onto her now.

"Sugar, you wanna tell me more about what you just said to those guys?"

Shit.

Dani looks up, and it's not just the brown and white haired lady staring at her. All of the other people in torn jumpsuits are staring.

"Uh. It was a lie. I was lying."

The lady doesn't look like she believes her. She looks...concerned. Ew.

"Well, I'm Rogue, and hun; I think we should make sure you're...in a safe place."

Damn! Dani escaped one well meaning group only to run right into another!

Or; Rogue was just taking a breather after taking down a Sentinel with the other X-Men, keeping her distance because of her shredded suit and exposed hands, when some random kid ran up and grabbed one of said exposed hands. But nothing happened. Then the kid said that Rogue was her mom. And while yeah, she's pretty sure the kid is lying after having a second or two to process it, Rogue's a little invested in making sure one of the few people capable of touching her and not dying isn't in a bad spot.

Don't worry, I'm teaching my students the dance on field day next week

welsknight fanon v canon : aka the funniest contrast ive ever seen from fanon v canon.

heres the textless version and some thoughts

the contrast between canon and fanon with welsknight is so funny to me. every single fanon piece (usually writing but sometimes art) i see of him hes so knightly and goody two shoes and like. posh?? and then i watch his videos and he puts a bridge on hypnos front lawn without asking for permission. he made a secret tunnel between him and hypnos storage rooms for shits and giggles. hes doing an old man impression of kids these days with their gadgets and he brings up papyrus paper of all things. he gives off such mischevious little man vibes and he is at best a knight wannabe but realistically seems to be just be in it for the aesthetics and fandom takes it all way too seriously. its hilarious and i genuinely cant take any fanon depiction of him being all knightly and pretentious without thinking of the fact that he spent so much on mangrove to line the secret tunnel between him and hypnos storage rooms which he built without telling hypno. peak smug cat meme vibes

anyway uhhh tldr welsknight is not a knight that armour is made of foam and its hilarious how seriously the fandom takes him. send post
