He Wants That Fat Boy So Bad 😭😔💥💥🔥

1) Wanda and Pietro Maximoff in the MCU were whitewashed. They’ve been Romani in the comics for the last 42 years. If you don’t understand the nuances of Romani culture vs. Romani ethnicity vs. Romani genetics, you can read my original post on it right here. Or, if you don’t trust me as a source, the Roma Culture Centre discusses it right here.

2) MCU Wanda and Pietro willingly work with HYDRA (the ACTUAL NAZIS), and allow HYDRA to run experiments on them both. The most famous Romani superheroes in comic book history join the ACTUAL NAZIS in the MCU.

(ETA: Yes, they joined HYDRA willingly. They volunteered. That’s according to Marvel’s own website, found right here. “Years later, they both volunteered to undergo genetic experimentation overseen by HYDRA’s Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, using Loki’s scepter, to potentially give them powers.”)

Why would they do this? Wanda’s brief tenure in HYDRA in the comics (Secret Empire run) only happened because she was possessed by the Elder God Chthon; she never joined them willingly. If you’re unfamiliar with the Romani Holocaust, you can read about it right here.

3) The MCU draws most of its inspiration from The Ultimates. Writer Jeph Loeb made Wanda and Pietro’s relationship incestuous in The Ultimates, and the MCU decided, for some bizarre reason, to make this part of the films. Elizabeth Olsen admitted in interviews that they intentionally hinted at incest between the twins in Avengers: Age of Ultron. If you’re unfamiliar with incest as a Romani stereotype, that’s awfully lucky for you, but you can read about it right here.

4) Elizabeth Olsen is also an unrepentant racist. On The Graham Norton Show, all the way back in 2015, she used the word “Gypsy” to describe Wanda and was corrected by the host. The actress has never apologized. (Mark Ruffalo was also on the show, and apologized on Twitter for repeating the slur after Olsen said it.) Olsen didn’t apologize because she wasn’t sorry; it wasn’t the first or last time she’d done it. Elizabeth Olsen keeps using slurs and stereotypes in interviews, as recently as last month. If you don’t know the history of the word “Gypsy” in English, you can read about that right here.

If you went into the MCU with no prior knowledge of the comics, or with limited knowledge of the Romani people, I understand that. I even wrote a post about it that you can read right here.

Fortune-teller costumes are only the tip of the iceberg.

Educate yourself.

YIPPIE HAPPY OLD PEOPLE

Headcanon time:

The reason Peter’s hair looks different in DoFP and Apocalpse, i.e:

dark grey:

vs a lighter grey:

Is because homeboy tried to dye his hair dark before DoFP.

He grew up always getting flack for his silver/grey hair and it was like a source of shame and embarrassment for him (and he wanted to look more like his sister and mother and feel more normal for once-). Dyeing it seemed like a sick idea until those greys started showing through real quick.

Anyways I will be utilising this headcanon whether its fitting or not bc nothing else justifies the state of that wig I mean come on they did my boy so dirty, I get it was the 70′s but-

dude dude dude you can't say you've read fics with spock being distracted by glasses!jim and not give recs that is so mean ( post/129322913722/spirk-headcanons-spock-loves-jim-kirk-in-big )

Spectacles by theproblematique The Captain is wearing spectacles. There is likely a justified reason for him to be. I do not know that reason, yet I do not feel the desire for said knowledge is powerful enough to distract me from the fact that… the Captain is wearing spectacles.

House of Dadneto 2024 Masterlist

All my entries for the event 💜 Love you @house-of-dadneto give me my prize 🔪

Fics:

captivate me with your incredible self - 4.9k - Erik Lehnsherr & Pietro Maximoff

Prompts: Canon Divergence + Brotherhood + Argument + Protective + Reveal + Embrace + Forehead Kiss + Acceptance

Post-DOFP - Peter seeks out the Brotherhood to face Magneto. Magneto turned slowly, his piercing gaze assessing Peter with a critical intensity. Recognition flickered across his face, a faint furrow appearing between his brows. “...Peter?” Peter swallowed hard, his hands twisting nervously. He managed a hesitant nod, uncertain of what to say next in the presence of the man who had both terrified and fascinated him for so long. Magneto raised a single eyebrow, observing Peter with a mixture of curiosity and something akin to paternal concern. Not that Peter was delusional enough to actually think that's what it was. Nope. "You can relax," he said gently, his voice cutting through the tension in the room. "I do owe you a debt."

when you're around I see rainbows and stars - 2.3k - Erik Lehnsherr & Pietro Maximoff

Prompts: Reunited + Hand Holding + Sensory Overload + Nightmares

Post-X-Men Legends 2 - Pietro recovers from his ordeal. He felt Erik tense behind him, could feel his heartbeat speed up. “You…” Pietro couldn’t stop the tears welling up in his eyes. All these years of being so unsure of where he stood when it came to Magneto. Yet, here he was, holding his son close to his heart, fingers in Pietro’s hair, his chin resting on his head. Erik had changed, he realised, after facing yet another genocide in his life, and then almost losing his child. “You really love us, don’t you?” He managed to choke out.

Omg I've never seen a poster the things The Romani yeppy

my hc for why nona and augustus refer to themselves as grulovian is because they're grulovian roma, similar to russian roma

hm so you'll ramble about the wips that won't even be complete in 5+ years but you won't finish the luna fic? okay worm (I'm a hypocrite)

Me tryna find the third chapter of fault lines like:

You’re on THIN ice bestie, but I’ll never refuse a chance to ramble haha, especially if it’s about the Outsider POV!!

‘It’s A Quiet Starry Place’ is by far my favourite AU from all the dadneto fics I’ve written! It kills me that I haven’t been able to work on it lately because there is just so much to dig into with this concept, especially in regards to Luna! Like where do I even begin?

I knew from the start that Laura and Luna’s dynamic was going to be a core part of this story, and getting to explore the world through their eyes is as fascinating as it is challenging. Logan (the film not the character lol) did such a good job at showing Laura as this highly competent and dangerous mutant but also as an innocent, learning child. It’s an interesting balance, and trying to figure out what they do and don’t understand because of their upbringing is something I have to ask myself almost every moment while writing the fic (which is why it takes so long to write too XD).

And of course, it wouldn’t be one of my fics if dadneto and quickson wasn’t the star of the show! I think Luna’s POV provides one of the most interesting, layered and complex perspectives of Erik and Peter that I’m probably ever going to have to tackle in this AU. Not only does this installment hint to a lot of events that have happened in their past, but Luna’s introduction is one of the most contentious points in their whole relationship. It’s easy to see that Peter accepts her as his own daughter almost immediately, but there’s still so much guilt and shame there for not knowing and not being able to protect her that weighs on him. And when all Peter needs is support, Erik is too busy struggling with his own thoughts, because how could the humans have gotten their hands on their son’s DNA? How could a violation like that have happened without any of them knowing? Erik’s protectiveness over Peter blinds him to realising that Peter has willingly taken on the role as a father himself, and in response, Peter’s protectiveness over Luna bites back, putting them at odds. It’s such an interesting dynamic, and it’s the plotline I’m most looking forward to writing in the coming chapters (because they are coming, I promise- I PROMISE OKAY?!?!)!

Some other elements that I love to think about but don’t always get to touch on because it’s from Luna’s POV is how the other X-Men and Brotherhood members are feeling over having clone children, most of which died before even knowing they existed. Some are quick to consider them their child, like Avalanche and Jean, who clearly took it hard learning that their respective kids had died without ever getting to meet them. Others have more complicated feelings about it, like Sabretooth and Gambit, which we’ll get a glimpse of in the next chapter. Sabretooth especially is interesting I think, because given the chance, I think he would have tried to be a decent father, if only to say he was better at it than Logan hah. Since he never had that opportunity though, he finds it easier to pretend he never cared about his kid instead of admitting that he might be mad at himself for not saving them in time.

If any of you are wondering how much I’ve thought about this AU, there’s a 12 page document dedicated just to the timeline, and I also have a list of all 23 children in the X23 program and who they belonged to lol. So yes, this AU lives in my head rent free and refuses to get evicted hahah!

Thanks for letting me ramble about this AU on top of all the other times I’ve rotted to you about it bestie, I love you!

-Superherotiger

Send me an ask about the backstory of any of my fics and I’ll ramble!! ✨

There's surprisingly more games, starring Russian Romani, than one would expect.
