Morozko from the 1924 russian movie "Morozko" by Yuri Zhelyabuzhskiy.
Morozko (Grandfather Frost) is a spirit of frost or sometimes a wizard of winter. Since the 19th century this character has changed, and now he is a symbol of the New Year holiday. Morozko is similar to Santa Claus in his modern role in russian culture.
Honestly, I made this post only to promote the movie. You must see it, it's good. Morozko of 1924 is a silent movie, you can just read the tale to understand what is happening on the screen. The movie is basically a horror (but not really scary, not in modern sense at least), and the plot of the movie is closer to the fairy tale than the plot of the 1964 version.
Pro:
it's a movie adaptation of the fairy tale
it's a horror
Morozko!
actually interesting to watch
it's just 35 minutes long
authentical folk costumes from a century ago
wedding (the wedding song is a banger!)
There are no cons. Just watch it! :)
I lost my gt for half an hour by making the bed (it was under the blanket and I accidentally sat on it afterwards btw) but I had an urge to do fanart. And I did it with a mouse, kinda neat I think
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a nation, must be in want of a wife.”
Just, y’know, don’t let him anywhere near your actual family….

During brunch, Chross—the old prankster—sits Silco beside fashionable matrons and their eligible daughters. One by one, Chross makes a show of asking Silco about his private life, and the privations that go hand-in-hand with his seat of privilege. A farce worthy of the Demacian Bard. Silco plays his own part impeccably; half the game is being a good sport.
During a lull, he leans towards Chross and whispers, “Digging an early grave?”
They’re old allies; Chross can take a joke. Even if it’s only half-playful.
Chross offers a yellowing crescent of a grin. “Come now, Silco. One can do worse than choosing from such colorfully-arrayed dolls.”
“Shall I take them home to Jinx?”
“Jinx is young and has her whole life ahead for dollies,” Chross chides. “You, on the other hand, must choose one on the shelf. It will be a political statement. A symbol of inner stability. Our leader can’t have a reputation as a hot-footer.”
Silco circles a fingertip across the rim of his teacup. Pomegranate tea. An offshoot of a successful Ionian trade deal.
“I’ll survive.”
“Take it from a shriveled old relic. Many a gentleman survives the gilded halls, only to be gutted in the ladies’ boudoirs.”
“I do enjoy a good gutting.”
“Don’t tempt fate, my boy.”
“Nor should you.” Silco smiles, mouth a slash of serrated ivory. “Otherwise I might propose a union.” At the look of bemusement on Chross’ face, he unhurriedly corrects, “Oh no, dear friend. I don’t mean between old vipers like us. I mean with one of your charming daughters.”
Chross laughs—a horrid faux-cheerful whinny. “Would you? Delightful!”
Pecking a sip from the edge of his teacup, Silco kisses the red droplets with his teeth. “No less delightful than they. Candidly, it’s hard to choose. Marlene is so fiery. But I’d burn out for her in no time. Bianca is sweet, but a romantic. She’d end up disillusioned at best, heartbroken at worst. The best would be your eldest. Esmée. She’s the most patient. That’s what Zaun needs.”
Is that a glint of dread in Chross’ rheumy eyes? "She’s fond of you, too.”
“Of course. We share a common perspective.”
“That you are an inveterate monster.”
“Precisely.”
They trade practiced smiles. The subject is dropped, as it always is.
soooo… do you guys think that Finns metal jaw is cosmetic body mods? Or do you think it was due to an accident working in a Zaun factory?
For the last hour I have been trying to figure out if he has a lower lip (no reason no st-). I mean we see that Zaun is so dire that even Chem Baron children work in the factories, so in my mind its not outside the realm Finn lost it in the Piltover war as a child or working in a factory.
But I was wondering if anyone else had headcanons? Please just a crumb of a content for a criminally underused character.

My favorite part about the Venom movie is when people tell me how Carnage/Cletus Kasady, a character I have had passion for since the 90′s, is wrong from what I know. Like, brah, I know everything there is to know about him. I’ve bought every appearance since issue Amazing Spider-Man 344. I know this character more than you do. Red isn’t different from Cletus.
Cletus is literally Red. Every host from Maurice “Moose” Mansfield to Silver Surfer to John Jameson to even Norman Osborn act like Cletus Kasady. Why? Because Red has Cletus’ personality. They are one in the same. A symbiote picks up all of its first host’s traits. Carnage is Cletus. Cletus is Carnage. It’s why they say “I” instead of “we” like Venom. Hating Cletus is hating Carnage. Hating Red.
Red was only called Red in issue 362 of Amazing Spider-Man. Only reason I roll with it is because Cletus alone isn’t Carnage. His symbiote bonded to anyone else isn’t Carnage. Only together are they Carnage. Just like how Venom is only truly Venom with Brock and his symbiote.
He only mentioned Red ONCE as a female (I can live with this and kinda like it honestly), and that was Carnage USA where he referred to Red as his wife. The other was a Deadpool book that was non-canon to which the symbiote appeared as a woman. (Again I like it. It makes it more interesting). My point is, this is a character that defined who I am since day one. You are entitled to your opinion, but when I spout facts, don’t assume I am a liar. In fact, change my mind on it. I hate coming off as a self righteous guy, but to have people shame you for knowing a character you loved since the first appearance feels like shit.
To those who read the entirety of what I said. You rock. Here, have a Carnage Family Portrait.
I’m over thinking this and I am drunk. But damn does it still mess with me.
Tokyo Ghoul x Soul Eater AU idea I’ve been talking about on Twitter all day. Spoiler warning if you haven’t watched / read TG, I guess!
CCG turns the Ghouls they capture / kill into quinque, like always, but the difference is that the weapons work like Weapons in Soul Eater! The Ghouls become Weapons, and Doves wield them as Meisters.
So in this AU, Yamori would be turned into a Death Scythe, which is given to Juuzou to wield as he was the one who ‘brought him down’. Yamori and Juuzou have a zero percent synchronization rate because YEAH RIGHT Yamori’s gonna work together with some brat Dove. CCG have a way of keeping the ghouls in a comatose-state so they cannot resist the Meisters, which means there is no synchronization between Doves and Ghouls and the pair’s combat ability is purely based on how well the Dove can fight on their own, with no added help from a willing Weapon partner.
Instead of devouring souls, Yamori cannibalizes the ghouls Juuzou defeats. It increases his own ability and power (as ghouls eating ghouls does), as well as prevents CCG from creating quinque out of them.
End game is that Naki somehow gets Yamori away from Juuzou and they partner up and everything is better the end!!!!
