the limitations of wax as an adhesive
So I started this the HOUR I got out of X-Men Apocalypse and then I got busy and it sat mostly-finished in my documents for like a month and a half and then I finished it and now it’s sat COMPLETELY finished in my documents for about two and a half weeks. But I finally got around to posting it. Warnings for…standard X-Men-level violence, body horror, social prejudice, and general jackassery, and also for rampant abuse of parentheticals. Crossposted to AO3 here.
So this is how it starts.
He comes around and the first thing he realizes is that his head is clear, really clear, for the first time in…a while. Might be days. Might be weeks. Good fucking job, he tells himself while he’s still working up the courage to move. Stranger danger, dumbass. Especially when the strangers in question are blue and pop out of mysterious purple bubbles, apparently. To give himself due credit, he’s pretty sure he tried to leave the blue stranger in the dust—the guy’s name is elusive, something ancient, something translated roughly as ‘Apocalypse,’ and isn’t that just menacing as hell.
what i love about both remus and lily is that they both seem to do this thing where it’s like “oh you’re an asshole? then you may right now immediately go fuck yourself” like when snape called lily a mudblood she was instantly like “ok you deserve whatever you get also your underpants are gross #evansout” and then when remus finds out that peter is alive he’s instantly just down to calmly fucking murder him “shall we kill him together?” like dad please
Remus and Lily will stick by you through hell and high water, even if they know you’re in the wrong and kick themselves for enabling you. But if you prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you don’t deserve it and you never did, then you are well and truly invited to a game of Hide and Go Fuck Yourself.

Let’s talk about symbolism for a moment: A sparrow landed on Bernie’s podium, but a bald eagle attacked Donald Drumpf (#MakeDonaldDrumpfagain)

So from an augury perspective, it is fair to say that Bernie has the approval of the sparrow, and Donald lacks the qualities necessary to please the eagle.
BUT BEYOND THAT! Even if you don’t buy into augury, let’s look at bird behavior.
Bernie, with all his hand waving and the volume of his voice attracted the interest of a sparrow, a small, non-predatory animal. This means that despite his motion and volume, it saw him and went “this man is not a threat to me”.
Donald Douche, on the other hand, sat still next to a trained predatory bird, and the bird was so uncomfortable with him that it attacked him. Straight attacked him. He wasn’t waving his arms or being loud, just existing next to the bird it felt threatened and attacked him.
So there’s that.
This is an awesome post.
To be fair, the eagle had a good reason to attack Drumpf. During the shoot, Drumpf was told to hold the bird closer to him because it would be a more steady perch. But instead, he held him as far away from him as possible which made the perch unsteady and nearly dropped him. The second photo, the one of him being attacked at the desk is when he was reaching for the eagle’s tether. The eagle recognized him as ‘that guy that dropped him’ and attacked him.
So to read this into augury- Drumpf was attacked not simply because because he lacks the necessary qualities associated with the eagle, but because the eagle remembers that he mishandles those qualities (protection, opportunity, freedom, etc) in a way that harms them.
The eagle gave him a chance and he blew it.
