@deepseawarlock continued from X Ulysses, his arms still wrapped protectively around Trinity, felt a mix of concern and understanding as he sensed her distress. He had been aware of her occasional moments of vulnerability, glimpses into the depths of her past that she tried so hard to conceal. He knew the weight she carried, the burdens she bore, and he respected her strength in keeping them hidden. As Trinity's hands moved to wipe away the tears that had wet his chest, Ulysses gently grasped her hands, holding them tenderly between his own. He could sense her embarrassment, her desire to retreat and hide those emotions away once more. But he wanted her to know that he was there for her, that she could lean on him without judgment or reproach. With a soft, understanding voice, Ulysses replied, "There's no need to apologize, Trinity. We all carry our pasts, our fears, and our pain. It's part of what makes us who we are. You don't have to bear it alone. I'm here for you, always." He brought her hands to his lips, pressing a gentle kiss against her fingertips. "In my time here, you've shown me so much strength and compassion, Trinity. But it's okay to let yourself be vulnerable, to let those tears flow. You don't have to hide anything from me. I'm here to listen, to support you, and to help carry the weight if you'll let me." Ulysses held her close, his embrace a comforting sanctuary in the darkness. "We all have our scars, our memories that haunt us. But together, we can find solace and healing. You're not alone, Trinity. You have my presence and my unwavering support. Always remember that." "Do you want to share what happened?"

As well adjusted and cheery as Trinity was (And she really was) you couldn’t live 200 years without some scars, somethings that dug into your conscious and lodged themselves there. She knew that, but it didn’t mean that she wanted to show them.  There were parts of her that were still childish from being trapped her all her life, from the lessons that she had learned and embodied about what it meant to be a guardian.  It was so much easier to take care of people when they saw you are part of the décor, like a pretty chair or a tree.  Beautiful but you seldom thought of the chairs past or the storms that had torn branches off the tree.  They were merely beautiful things that were useful in one way or another.  It made things simple. 

But it didn’t seem like Ulysses was interested in things being simple- the man and the guardian.  He hadn’t shown an interest in that since he’d gotten her.  True people asked questions about her when they came but she knew that it was out of being polite.  Even the darkest demon seemed to know that if you wanted something it was only right to offer that small politeness back. 

She didn’t stop trying to dry his shirt until he took hold of her hands and brought them to his warm lips.  It caused her bottom lip to tremble a bit because…well how could she take him up on that offer?  It wasn’t right to put that on someone and yet she wanted to tell him so so badly.  Even that thought brought a wave of guilt.  “That’s not how I’m meant to take care of people.”  She reminded herself with the words more than she was saying them to him. 

Still, the sincerity in her voice drew her eyes to his golden ones.  “I…I was 13 when they came for her.  Actually 13.  People back then weren’t very kind to those like us.  There were meant to be years left to study- decades even.  But in this part of the world, when they burnt witches, they really burnt them.  It was just a little church but they gathered people from the whole regions.  I thought that they couldn’t kill us.  But they could- they just couldn’t use magic.  So they came with the things that humans always do: swords, guns, fire.”  She shook her head.  “I can still smell it…I still don’t know why she didn’t fight back harder.  Maybe she was just…tired.”  She admitted softly, fingers moving over his where she held them. 

“I read about those things.  The people who came for safety would tell me stories.  But I really didn’t know that people could be so…cruel- burning a woman in front of her daughter.”  

"Stop messing with the recipe, there will be a disaster."

"Look, honey. I'm not going to take culinary advice from a squid that eats its own." As if to prove a point, she looked him directly in the eye as she dropped three extra garlic cloves into the pan.

"Don't argue with a pregnant chef about her food mister. You're old enough to know better." She smirked wide, a challenge clearly there.

"Please state the nature of the medical emergency." The doctor looked around and spotted exactly one biological being close enough to be of concern to him. Immediately, he pointed a tricorder at him, the device appearing out of nowhere. "Excuse me, did you activate my program for a particular reason? As far as I can tell, you're in good enough health, though if you are experiencing alarming symtoms, I'd like to know about them." ~galacticforces, the EMH

@fyr-rphub / @galacticforces

U had been sifting through the electronic wave lengths in the air, every time a ship came to earth is seemed to bring a new mess of transmissions that he had to sort through or the air would just get more and more clogged with them. It was when he poked at one that the hologram projectors he had around his apartment encase any of Tony or Peters AI's wanted to come and talk to him activated and he was faced with what seemed to be some kind of medical program.

He blinked and tilted his head slightly at the question before telling him. “I might have activated you, I was sifting through a lot of transmissions. I don't think there's anything wrong with me...but it's hard to tell sometimes, human bodies are weird and creaky.”

OPEN || Fatherhood [Ulysses/?]  [for female muses]

The newborn babe cried in his arms, and he tried shushing her but it was to no avail. Ulysses was on a Greek ship, moving to the inlands after his home was destroyed by the Spartans, and he was still grieving the loss of his lover in the midst of it all. Overall, he directed his attention in caring for the young being as best as he could, but he cannot get her to calm down and it was unnerving.

Ulysses noticed a woman looking at him, and he immediately apologized, "I am so sorry, I- I don't know what to do..."

i fully support the idea of c!Ven having Ulysses in one hand and Icarus in the other

I should say, considering how fully pushing the agenda I was with the talking about non-canon ships, uh… please don’t ship Ulysses and Aax 😅

Just given the nature of their lore and what has been revealed, it is kinda very uncomfortable if placed in any kind of shipping context, and just for boundary reasons, I would prefer if we… didn’t. Please and thank you /gen

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT: [SPOILERS AHEAD]

C!APOKUNA:

ULYSSES:

Ven and Ulysses fighting in boundary disputes/j

[ Part One ] - [ Part Two ] - [ Part Three ] - [ Part Four ] [ Part Five ] - [ Part Six ] - [ Part Seven ] - [ Part Eight ]

Do I think c!Ven and Ulysses would be a good couple? No.

Do I think they have or would probably sleep together? Yes. That’s my personal headcanon.

Like,,, I dunno I think it’s a one night stand kinda thing. Ven comes over for more alcohol, they sit and talk for a while, they get vulnerable about missing their partners and about how Rae’s hogging all the boyfriends or whatever. They’re lonely and stressed and alone. Hands slip onto thighs, lips meet tasting of vodka and wine, such and such and such.

They know it’s not a thing but sometimes they just need that human comfort, ya know?

This is how Klaw lost his hand! He got shot by child T'Challa!!

"I've helped coordinate a feast tonight. There's many different dishes and I've tasted them all. I hope it's to your liking."

Ulysses, despite his reservations about heroes, took great care in preparing a sumptuous feast for Trinity and the other heroes in her sanctuary. He wanted to show his support for her and make the occasion truly special. Knowing that Trinity had a deep connection to the river, Ulysses incorporated elements of water and nature into the feast.

Here's a sampling of what he prepared:

Riverbank Salad: A refreshing mix of crisp greens, adorned with edible flowers and drizzled with a tangy citrus dressing. The salad was garnished with delicate watercress, representing Trinity's affinity for riverside foliage.

Poseidon's Catch: A platter of freshly caught seafood, including succulent grilled fish, buttery lobster tails, and plump shrimp. Ulysses took care to infuse the seafood with a hint of herbs and citrus, giving it a delightful flavor.

Enchanted Spring Soup: A velvety soup made with seasonal vegetables, infused with the essence of a mystical spring. Ulysses added herbs and spices known for their healing properties, creating a nourishing and comforting dish.

Harborside Roast: A centerpiece of the feast, Ulysses prepared a tender, slow-roasted prime rib, cooked to perfection. He seasoned it with a blend of aromatic herbs and served it with a rich demi-glace.

Nymph's Delight: For dessert, Ulysses crafted a masterpiece of sweetness. It consisted of delicate pastry shells filled with a light, fluffy cream infused with hints of vanilla and the subtle essence of wild berries. The dessert was adorned with edible flowers and drizzled with a delicate honey syrup.

Trinity knew that Ulysses had a hard time with the fact that she had to help everyone who came to the sanctuary- at least she knew that he was worried. Which was fair considering she worried about him when he was out in the world too. It was hard on them both though perhaps she didn't understand his worry about the people as much. She didn't see heroes and villains or heroes and monsters in the same way because here those labels meant nothing to her.

But He- well he knew what happened outside of the invisible walls of this place. And she knew that made it more difficult for him even if she didn't fully understand why he was so worried about specific heros sometimes.

That's why she was so surprised to come in and see the spread across the table. Not just for her but for everyone. A sort of peace offering but so much more thought out. Her eyes widened as she moved around the table, taking in the well-thought-out beautiful dishes that he had clearly put a lot of mental and emotional energy into. Her Long fingers dragged across the table with a little smile as she took in everything from the lovely salad all the way to the mouth-watering desert.

This was the big bad warlock they all feared. The boogy man of the sea. She saw the way they flinched sometimes when he stood behind her but here he was, making them all a feast worthy of a king. Her eyes finally lifted to meet his with a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "My love....you didn't have to do this Darling. You have nothing to prove." She dipped her pinky finger into the honey syrup leaking from the side of the pasty, eyes closing in delight as she sucked it off.

fuck marry kill- devlin, maverick & ulysses

//HAHAHAHAHA do you really want to know this guys? Okay, but you are getting her explanation. XD

Fuck: "Maverick. I don't know him but I've heard things from the other side and I would just love to see his eyes go wide with shock. A healthy dose of fear is good for a man. No one is making him uncomfortable enough and that girl Alex is taking it WAY too easy on him. Like enough easing into it guys. Just pop that cherry and move on!" (God she is Horrible!!!! Alex refuses to listen to her and is giving her the biggest glare) @darkhearthorns

Marry: "Devlin. For obvious reasons that I dont think we need to talk about." (Those obvious reasons are that she "has feelings for him" aka is falling in love with him but she won't talk about it because shes an emotionally stunted baby. Also, he's the father of her unborn child whom they don't know about but she is old-fashioned like that.) @pyrokineticwarrior

Kill: "Look I've said it before. I love sea food and that is the world's biggest piece of Taro (Octopus)." (she's kidding....I THINK. Shes smirking about it.) @deepseawarlock

《Headcanon time again because I have so many thoughts relating to c!momboo》

Momboo would make everyone flower rings from their favorite flowers. To show the difference between Rae and ick's ring momboo would put a pink tulip on icurus's ring with the blue orchid. After momboo died everyone's ring started to wither so Jamie took it upon himself.

Rae's new flower ring has vine that wraps around the whole finger the ring sits on. In the vine is everyone's flower just mini

Caspian's looks a little like rae's however his just has both his partners and nephews on the vines.

Aax's is similar to caspian's just different flower

Fenris's has his flower with Violet, Rae, and vikesh's favorite flowers intertwined together

Athena's has a netherstar weaved around some allium's (Athena had to show Jamie how to weave for this)

Easton's ring is a vine of wither roses and pink tulips that are glittered by skulk

Ocie and Oscar have matching rings which is both of their flowers in a pattern (Oscar's ring was put on a gold chain for him to wear it as a necklace)

Jerry's ring also matches ocie and Oscar's but his has his favorite flower In a pattern with Oscar and ocie's

Jamie had a harder time making their own but his was eventually made of vines with their favorite flower along with the pink tulip, a wither rose, an allium, and a blue cornflower.

Ulysses's ring was an allium ring with leafs on one of the leafs however was fake an on it held his partners name. (His is also made to be fidgeted with)

Addie's ring was actually made with Rae's help, Rae helped shape webs into a flower shape to be put on the ring.

Haley's ring is a braided vine with moon daisies and pink tulips.

Violet did not get a new one as his didn't wilt as when he died and ascended to godhood his ring became a permit part of him.
