”… What’s happened?” ”Nothing. Everything. I lost my way.”
This was honestly meant to be a short piece, but my crippling weakness for dads + found families means my muse took the wheel for some Morgan Trayton/Megatron and Thaddeus Marshall/Terminus over the years.
(For the curious, Terminus raises Megatron as something of his son in this Human AU! Also that panel with Megatron beaten up is basically the night he came back from police custody after going out for a drink with Impactor in the city.)
Let Frank punish them!
okay but now i wonder if Frank is gonna hunt down all of the corrupt cops and lunatics who stole his symbol to use as a symbol for hate... because I need real world far-right idiots who do that shit to be finally fucking called out by marvel for turning punisher into a hate symbol. it's about time art reflects real life.
In the distant past, when humanity was first evolving, an advanced race of aliens visited Earth and studied humanity. This race discovered something fascinating within a fraction of humanity’s genetic code: The Metagene. The Metagene allowed humanity, when under great stress, to develop superhuman abilities to survive. It was rare, but those with it could do great things. The aliens took some of them, and launched a breeding program to refine this gene. Over successive generations, the Inhumans were created, whose Metagene could be consistently triggered with the Terrigen mists, and only the Terrigen Mists.
As Human civilization progress, the Metagene experienced a mutation. This mutation lowered the threshold of trauma needed for the Metagene to trigger until the point that mundane puberty was sufficient to activate it. This mutated gene was dubbed the X-Gene. The mutants who possessed the X-Gene suffered under severe discrimination for many years, but as time passed, they grew to be the majority of the population. Over the years, there have been many names for these powers and their users. Mutants, Evos. Nexts, etc. By the era of All Might, the popular vernacular was “Quirk”.
Some attempted to manually trigger the Metagene. During World War II, a scientist by name of Abraham Erskine developed a serum that, alongside a specific radiological treatment, could transform even a sickly man into a man at the peak of human ability, in all fields the best a human could be without being outright Superhuman. Notably, the process performed by Project Rebirth worked on people who lacked a Metagene. This Project Rebirth produced Captain America, but shortly after his creation, Erskine was assassinated by a nazi scientist, and his notes were stolen. However, while his notes contained the formula for the Super Soldier Serum, it did not contain anything about the radiological treatment, and thus it was impossible to replicate Captain America. They didn’t stop trying however. With their continued research, they uncovered the Metagene, and switched focus from replicating the Super Soldier serum, to improving it. Making a serum capable of triggering the Metagene. They did not succeed at this during the war, however after it ended, the scientists in charge of the project were given pardons as part of project paper clip. This allowed Compound V to be developed, a substance that could grant Superpowers. The catch was that it had to be administered during Childhood, as adults would be driven mad by it.
Additionally, a number of humans were secretly given something called a Corona Pollentia by a predatory interstellar entity, which connects them to continent sized shards. Whose with Corona Pollentia are capable of undergoing trigger events, and developing Superpowers. These trigger events are often Traumatic, and afterwards the Shards subtly poke their bears into conflict, in order to gather data for the Entities. Those with activated Corona Pollentia are known as Parahumans. And due to human ignorance of their origin, they severely complicate research into superpowers. And most in the Public aren’t really aware of the difference between Metahumans and Parahumans
Megatron: He may have been your father, but he’s not your daddy.
Will bumblebee or hot rod see there parents on the decepticons side 🤔 🙃
Highly unlikely as none of them were remotely interested in the Decepticon agenda!
Bee’s father, egregiously, is something of a Functionist, so if it’s one thing Bee and Megs can agree on, it’s punting him into a flaming dumpster.
The new DRAFT U.N. Resolution, set to be voted on today, calls for:
• ... “urgent and extended humanitarian pauses” in the fighting throughout Gaza and the opening of corridors inside the enclave “for a sufficient number of days to enable full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian access.” • U.N. Secretary General António Guterres to appoint a senior coordinator “with responsibility for facilitating, coordinating, monitoring, and verifying in Gaza, as appropriate, the humanitarian nature” of all assistance, and demands that “the parties to the conflict cooperate with the coordinator to fulfill their mandate without delay or obstruction.” • ... “immediate and unconditional” release of the hostages. It also demands that “all parties to the conflict comply with their obligations under international law ... including with regard to the conduct of hostilities and the protection of civilians and civilian objects.” • It reiterates the council’s “unwavering commitment” to a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians and “stresses the importance of unifying the Gaza Strip with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority.” (12/22/23 | Source: WaPo)
Although the resolution's language was toned down, this is a sign of progress. While such measures are long overdue and should have been honored from the start, we must do everything possible to meet the urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza and relieve unfathomable suffering.
DON'T STOP POSTING. KEEP UP THE PUBLIC PRESSURE. DEFEND HUMAN RIGHTS.
Stay tuned for today's vote.
I Love This Fucking Ambulance So Much I’m Gonna Die: a photoset
At various points throughout humanity’s history, they had been preyed on by a species known to in modern times as the Pillar Men, a race who fed on human blood. One of these Piller Men, Kars, created a device known as the Stone Mask. His goal was to evolve himself further, into an ultimate life form, but his device lacked the final piece it needed. However, when used on a human being, the Stone Mask awakened their potential, evolving them into a state that could be considered a lesser version of a Pillar Man. This new state would be known as a Vampire. Ultimately, Kars and his companion Eisidisi would slaughter every other pillar man save for two children in their quest to obtain ultimate status, and would plague humanity until the day they sealed themselves beneath the roman coliseum, in order to await the day when they could obtain perfection. In order to feed themselves while resting, a trap was set up to ensnare humans and drain them of blood. In the Fifth century, a man named Marcus Corvinus would encounter this trap, and escape with his life. Corvinus was descended from one of the vampires Kars had created thousands of years previously, and when he escaped the trap, he was infected by a virus that had been breeding within it. This Virus activated a recessive gene within Corvinus, and transformed him into a vampire. He would then go onto found the Corvinus Clan.
