@mardigrasdeathpostage

This is a great opportunity to post something I photoshopped a few months back. I finished it, then stared at the screen and sighed, remembering the old times, when I shopped respectable things.

Here it is side by side with BA's original cover:

and on its own:

(All stock photos mine except for the writing.)

Anyway, maybe you can imagine the characters as antipasti. They're all Catholics and the part of the plot we're currently at takes place in Rome, so it kinda fits.

In DETAIL:

Johanna, the fiery and determined crusader, would be particularly spicy and crunchy I think, maybe peppers filled with some kind of cheese, as in the picture above. The peppers would not be grilled or treated in any other way that breaks down their molecular structure. Johanna has no problem with being challenging to chew. And if she brings tears to your eyes, well, tears can be cleansing, so this pain benefits you in the end. Her sidekicks Mare and Agnes are stuffed olives that have a little bit of the same spicy cheese.

Helena, Johanna's sister and the wife of her enemy Seth, would be a savoury vegetable that has been infused with rosemary and some type of honey, given that she's very pleasant and eager to please. She would not be too sweet, but strive to be perfect. She is served with mozzarella, an inoffensive and yet very tasty cheese.

Sophia, their mother, is a rare, unknown vegetable in a sophisticated and unique herb mixture that quite possible includes Silphion. Satan is a spicy hard cheese that unexpectedly harmonizes very well with her (as proven by the song Astral Sophia).

Apollonius is semi-divine, so naturally I imagine that he contains a lot of garlic. I would pick an eggplant fried in garlicy oil for him. Eating him sends you to heaven, but then you feel a little nauseated from the ungodly amount of fat eggplants tend to suck up when you fry them, even if you take care to dehydrate them with salt before and soak off some fat with paper towels after. Ecstatically pleasant, yet treacherous... but you keep coming back because there's nothing else like it. Feta cheese just magically manifests next to him.

As for the Antichrist himself, I invoke the famous tumblr post that states: "Do not be salty. Be marinated. Show that you've been swimming in a complex mixture of feelings for a long time." I also think he should be a tomato that has been dried by the unforgiving heat of the sun for a long, LONG time. Possibly because someone put him there and then forgot about him. So a marinated, and very salty, dried tomato. That's our troubled hero Seth.

#beloved antichrist #antipasti headcanons #symphonic metal #therion #music stuff #ah! i know the beloved antipasti thing looks like it has two suns btw #that's intentional and in imitation of the original lolol #just wanted to mention that for the sake of my photoshop pride

Italian American Steve really doesn't make sense to me, I'm sorry. This is not a "that headcanon cannot possibly be true and you're bad for writing it" post. It honestly is not - I just have thoughts as an Italian American lmao

Italian American families are insane.

They are dramatic. Matriarchal (generally, there is a female figure who is A Bitch who knows everything about everyone). Very Catholic. The rich Italian Americans also have the gaudiest houses with furniture wrapped in plastic.

...but most importantly, they are all up in your business and big guilt trippers. Steve Harrington's family screams generational wealth conservative WASPs who are painfully distant and incapable of showing a single intense emotion.

My Italian American family would not survive dinner at his home with his parents. Which. Speaking of. We literally cannot have a single visitor to our homes without serving antipasti. Steve looks like he's got the local pizza place's number memorized.

I'm sorry, that's just... My Opinion. Like, could Steve have Italian ancestry? I don't know! Maybe! ...but he was certainly not raised in a typical Italian American household lmao. Do not take this too seriously. You do you, I just have thoughts 😂

SENSES AND OTHER SPECIFIC HEADCANONS

1. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE SMELL LIKE? Like the inside of a church, to put it simply. Due to the time she spends in churches, Nico often has the scent of frankincense and candle wax on her. One may often pick up the scent of rose on her, but its not due to God’s presence- she has a favorite rosewater perfume she wears very often. Other, bread and pastries from the local cafes, coffee, the pages of old books, and cigarette smoke from the occasional times she’ll light one up. A trace on gunpowder on her is also present if she’s just returned from a hunt.

2. WHAT DO YOUR MUSE'S HANDS FEEL LIKE? Warm, softer than one might expect given her profession- Nico takes good care of her skin. If one trailed their thumb over her hand, they may notice very small scars on her knuckles from past hunts and fights she’s gotten into.

3. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY EAT IN A DAY? During mornings she’ll have a small breakfast- just a cappuccino and a bit of fruit to keep her going. During the work week, she’ll sit down at a nearby trattoria with a peer for lunch. Her palate is rather varied so she usually gets different things. She’s Italian, so she often does her own cooking as well. Antipasti and Primi vary on what her mood is; bruschetta, zucchini flowers, carciofi alla Romana, pasta bolognese, carbonara, and abbacchio, to name a few. Often accompanied with a glass of wine. Also she is an absolute FIEND for gelato in the summer months so she definitely picks that up every day in July.

4. DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE A GOOD SINGING VOICE? Yes! She’s not one to randomly break out into song, so you’ll most likely hear her lovely voice singing hymns in mass or vespers. Nico’s often more comfortable singing around people she trusts, and will sometimes do so in times of celebration. Its become a tradition that she, Father Dominick, and some of their friends get together on the last day of Carnevale to share a few drinks, fraternize, and occasionally break into song if there’s a band playing nearby.

5. DOES YOUR MUSE HAVE ANY BAD HABITS OR NERVOUS TICKS? There is a telltale tick she does whenever she is bullshitting you or unsure about something, you will catch her absentmindedly making sure the scar on the side of her head is covered with some strands of her hair. She often absentmindedly tugs at them while she speaks. If she is ashamed or lying to someone she cares for, she won’t be able to look them in the eye.

6. WHAT DOES YOUR MUSE USUALLY LOOK LIKE / WEAR? Nico keeps herself presentable, and is very clean and well groomed. Her makeup is usually very light if she wears it at all. Typically, she will wear her hair in a ponytail, but often she’ll wear it half-up-half-down, or fully down as well. For formal occasions, she opts for an updo. Since the reforms of Vatican II and the fact that they are not constantly on duty, the Order of St. George no longer has a formal uniform they must wear at all times like the Swiss Guard (their traditional uniform was a dark blue color, similar to the Swiss Guard’s night and training uniform). Most hunters opt to dress in business-casual lay clothes, often because they work other jobs in the Vatican when not hunting. What Nico wears varies on the season. In the heat of the summer she will often wear cream colored linen button ups over a sleeveless top and very lightweight pants or a long, often richly colored dress that covers her knees. As summer turns to fall and winter, the colors she wears become more muted, shifting into tans, grays, and light blues. During the colder and rainy season, she alternates between a hooded field jacket and a leather jacket, shirts and sweaters, as well as jeans and sturdy boots.

7. IS YOUR MUSE AFFECTIONATE? HOW SO? Though typically reserved around colleagues and her peers, Nico is very affectionate towards those she loves. She gives hugs to show her appreciation and love, as well as words of affirmation, and spending quality time with those she cares about. As is custom in Italy, she’ll often greet those she knows well with air kisses on both cheeks. When in a romantic relationship, she is very cuddly and openly affectionate towards her partner; cuddling close to them, holding hands, nuzzling her face in their neck. All the sweet stuff.

8. WHAT POSITION DOES YOUR MUSE SLEEP IN? Nico moves around a bit when she sleeps. She may start the night on her side, and the shift to her back or her stomach. She’s not one to kick off her covers except in the brutal heat of summer.

9. COULD YOU HEAR YOUR MUSE IN THE HALLWAY FROM ANOTHER ROOM? Only if she wants you to hear her. She’s a hunter, so Nico does know how to move like a ghost if she’s up to something. In general, however, she has light feet. Her steps are usually soft but audible.

HEADCANON

Lear sometimes calls Bell, Sims and Mason his little raviolis, because they are shorter, but that's not it no no because he gave everyone a nickname like that Bell, Sims and Mason are his raviolis, Lazar is risotto because it's homey, Hudson and Adler are Pasta E Fagioli because it sounds funny, Woods is lasagna because he has layers and Park is Antipasti, because it sounds mean. The nicknames are most prominent when he's hungry or missing home.

@samatedeansbroccoli I think I lost my mind again

Bucci gang’s Christmas

It’s that time of year again and I’m feeling especially Christmas-y right now, even though it’s still November.

I’m the type of person to get really happy around this time of year and I’m definitely the first to set up and decorate the tree (I’m the person people make those memes about). I love my family (half are Christian and half are Jewish) and the gifts and the food and music and just everything, and I can’t help but want to spend it with my favorite people on Earth!! (yes I know they’re fictional characters, Karen)

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦•······················•✦•

Bruno Bucciarati

He’s not the biggest on Christmas but would love to celebrate it with the gang or his s/o if he had one at the time. Christmas is celebrated much differently in Italy so he would laugh at your more Western expectation of Christmas and would insist it’s better this way, less commercial and more centered around the Catholic/Christian importance of the day.

This is not to say Bruno is Catholic or Christian but I believe he would feel more comfortable and happier without the CRAZINESS of Western/American Christmases and would just enjoy spending time with you and his teammates/friends, along with maybe a small tree and an occasional Christmas song.

When he received a small gift his eyes widened, “Wait what’s this for?” He would be so shocked, he had never gotten a gift on Christmas, he didn’t even realize that it was something people actually did, he thought it was only in movies. Once his s/o explained what a Christmas gift was, he would open it hesitantly and smile in awe then return the favor with a kiss. “Sorry I didn’t get you anything, Tesoro.”

He would be the one to make Christmas dinner for you and the gang, more than likely, antipasti and pasta with a walnut cream sauce and Panettone (Christmas cake) that he’d ask if you wanted to help him bake, which would probably end up with both of you covered in batter and icing.

Giorno Giovanna

Christmas? is that a fruit? He has never celebrated or even thought about celebrating it, but his s/o wants to and Bruno does too? He will, but what exactly does that entail? Does he dress up like Saint Nicholas? He‘s never actually had a family to celebrate with so you have a LOT of explaining to do and then he’s SO EXCITED and wants to do EVERYTHING and now it’s time to make up for lost time.

Once he understands, he’s a little extreme, he’s already made a gingerbread house, cut down a real tree and decorated it, bought everyone TEN gifts and has an ugly sweater on, waiting for you to see and be impressed and well... you are. He’s admittedly looking for praise so you have to let him see just how much you appreciate it, maybe with a little kiss or a gift of your own.

Be prepared for an absolute marathon of Christmas movies, possibly accompanied by a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows or a cup of eggnog with extra cinnamon and a side of gingerbread cookies. So many gingerbread cookies. But you snuggle together away from the cold so that makes up for it, most of the time you both stop watching the movie and it’s just the two of you making out or staring at each other, longingly.

Once the entire house smells like Yankee Candles and you can barely breathe over the cinnamon and peppermint, it’s time to tell that poor boy he needs to stop. But before you can, you walk right under the dreaded mistletoe (trap) that he’s put up pretty much everywhere and he’s coming up to you and shutting you right up. He kisses you and with a cheeky grin and says “What was that about taking away Christmas away? You don’t like it, dolcezza?”

Leone Abbacchio

Two words. Seasonal Depression. Abbacchio is a bit of a grinch when it comes to Christmas. Truthfully, he doesn’t want to hate it, but his depression is bad during this time so if he goes to the Christmas get-together with you and the gang, he will most likely be drinking an ungodly amount of alcohol. His s/o might be able to calm him down and reassure him enough to attend but he will misserable no matter what, he’ll stay for the gifts and food though, regardless of how much he wants to leave.

Once he’s drunk and people are opening presents is when his emotions overwhelm him and he breaks into tears at the smallest things (Narancia received a CD from him that he already owned and Abbacchio felt guilty not knowing Narancia well enough to know which albums he already had.) His s/o is one of the only people who can calm him down in that moment, laying his head in your lap as you play with his hair and hum softly.

Now he goes through the second stage of grief, thrashing out the tree and throwing gifts and screaming about how much he loves you and Christmas and that delicious food and alcohol. He’s a mess, and before he gets any more drunk and destroys anything else, you have to drag him home and force him to lay down and sleep it off.

But Abbacchio wants to give you his gift, and before you can protest, he’s already on you, kissing you everywhere and mumbling incoherently about how much you mean to him and how good you are to him, but soon he breaks into tears once more as he convinces himself that he doesn’t deserve you. “I’m so stupid! I ruined everything! You probably don’t even love me anymore, and I don’t blame you for it.”

You just have to reassure him a little more until he finally passes out from the alcohol.

Pannacotta Fugo

Has mixed feelings about Christmas, he used to love it as a kid but now the memories are a little tainted by thoughts of his mom and dad and he thinks about being abandoned by them and it makes him angry, sad, and scared. But if he had an s/o, he would agree to celebrating it with them, they could make new memories that would help the bad ones fade away.

Fugo might ask for specific things to make him feel more comfortable and safe. Opening presents might bring on a little fear/bad thoughts, as well as the board games and card games, so you should be prepared to comfort him in any and every way possible. In my opinion, he’d love for you to hold him tightly and feed him your food as he complains about the music being too loud or the house being too cold, to which he’d snuggle closer to you.

When the group sees the two of you, and a totally different side of Fugo, some of them stare, some of them make snarky comments and laugh, and Narancia sighs before getting pissed at the ones who laughed. Fugo, doesn’t care much in that moment, of course he’s gritting his teeth and his nails are digging into his skin but he loves you far too much and feels too comfortable to mess with them.

Once he’s completely comfortable, you both go for a walk in the snow (much to Fugo’s dismay) talking about the meaning of Christmas to you and him. When Fugo’s disposition gets a little worse from talking about his past, you get down on one knee and create a little snowball. Holding it out, you tell him you’ve fallen for him much like this snow or that you love him snow much and ask him if you could have the honor of him being your boyfriend. He laughs at first at the cheesy/cringey puns then his eyes widen and he’s in so much disbelief that someone like you could love him. He bends down to meet your face, tilts your head up slightly and kisses you.

“I guess that’s a yes?” Now Christmas is going to have a totally different meaning for him.

Narancia Ghirga

“Where’s my gift?” “Is that mine?” “When can we open presents?” “What did you get me?” He knows everything about American Christmases and will run around the room, take a bite of food, get up, run around again, sit by the tree, open a gift, yell what he thinks it is then tears it open and repeats until all his gifts are opened.

When it’s someone else’s turn, he will look to his s/o and sigh. He might ask you to play a game with him while he waits, or sneak him some cake. Narancia is the type to constantly engage in the festivities and gets easily bored. If he gets you a gift it’s most likely something small and inexpensive because the boy is poor, but you will continue to Cherish it for many years to come.

Once the Christmas music is blaring and everyone has opened presents, Narancia is dancing like a maniac and pulling you on the floor to join. He’s not the greatest at slow dancing, but he’s probably better than most of the gang as he’s been to school dances before joining Passione. He doesn’t speak much in the moment but his hands are on your shoulders and you’re swaying un-gracefully until you both trip and fall on each other. “Are you alright, Mi Amore?” he asks quietly before building up the courage to kiss you.

Eventually you’re both off of the floor and Narancia is back to his enthusiastic, happy-go-lucky self, and is bragging about getting to kiss you and yelling about great you are. Get ready for a night of him being an absolute show off in front of his teammates and be prepared to drag him back home.

Guido Mista

I think Mista would treat this day the most seriously out of the group, only because I headcanon him as Catholic/Christian or religious in some way. He would probably enjoy taking his s/o with him to San Gregorio Armeno and San Gregorio Armeno Church in Napoli, also known as Christmas Alley to see the Prespes (Nativity scene of Jesus’ birth) and overall would be very happy about Christmas and the joy it brings him.

Mista would also absolutely adore going to classical music concerts and Christmas concerts. It would remind him of a time when he was a carefree child and would bring him so much joy. Of course he would drag you around with him and UGH he would just have the realest smile on his face, so content, thankful, and happy.

Soon he would realize he was late for the Christmas party but he’d walk extra slow so he could enjoy his time with you just a little longer. He would also be the type to start a random snow ball fight, like you’re just walking in front of him and suddenly a snow ball hits you with the help of Number 5 and Oh, it’s on. The battle goes on for a while until you’re both tired and in a little pain so Mista kisses your cheek then offers a piggyback ride, even if you’re too heavy, he’s ready to pick you up and carry you all the way to the house.

Once you both get there, you crash on the couch, eat some food and then open the leftover presents. You reach for the same gift and his hand is on top of yours. You can’t help but lean in and place a kiss on his lips and he kisses back, it’s a true Christmas miracle.

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦•······················•✦•

I’m SO sorry I kinda got lazy/lost inspiration with Mista’s but please accept this trash 🗑 :)
