16 or 36 for anything you feel like writing currently! :D
Trying out some different formats. Hope it’s legible. Fair warning that I got way too carried away with ‘total control’, so it’s under a cut.
16. in dreams
Journal, Lincoln, 1st person.
Keep havin’ weird dreams. Can’t explain them very well, all I know is I keep scaring the hell outta a few of the guys when I jolt up. Davis suggested I see the Chaplain ‘bout it. Pretty sure it’s not demons, so unless he’s got holy-water-melatonin, I don’t think he can help.
One of the dreams is about Danny and Nicki arguin’ over their old man’s body. Cancer or poisoning or something of the like. Not sure why I’m there at all, I just am. Both keep beggin’ me for an answer. I can’t. Someone’s cut out my tongue and noises don’t help. He’s dead, they’re arguing, I can’t do anythin’.
Father said something offhandedly in a letter about my nightmares being chronic. Happened when I was a kid, stopped for whatever reason, an’ now they’re back. Never told him I was having any, but that’s Father for you. He jus’ knows things. Didn’t tell Sammy or Ellis though, both seem to think I’m fine. Not sayin’ I’m not. Just don’t think it’s worth tellin’ them, worryin’ them over stupid shit like dreams. Got bigger issues than that.
36. total control
Script-ish, John and Connor, 3rd person.
J: You were supposed to die.
A: Yeah, firing squad. I remember. Hard to forget.
J: Would’ve preferred a hanging, actually.
A: Didn’t know the United States still used that method.
J: I’m sure they’d make an exception.
A: (mild discomforting laugh) Of course they would.
J: (faltering, lowering gun, searching for words)
A: Maybe you should set the gun down. Your hand’s twitching. Don’t want a misfire.
J: Shut the fuck up.
A: What, I can’t look out for you? What happens if you twitch and kill that friend of yours out there?
J: Don’t bring him into this.
A: Lincoln, right? Hear he’s taking after you very well. Brazen and theatrical.
J: Yes, because you’re a master at subtlety.
A: Comes with the job.
J: Jesus Chr—a fucking warhead isn’t subtle.
A: Neither is hanging a man from a Ferris wheel. Or, you know, (signaling to cheek with J’s given-cigarette) this.
J: That was self-defense.
A: Sure. Of course.
J: Can you just go one fucking sentence without being an asshole, or is that above you?
A: Give me a reason to, and I will.
J: I have a gun and you don’t.
A: That’s not enough, Johnny, and you know that.
J: Don’t call me that.
A: Sorry, I’m delirious from the blood loss. I thought you were that kid I helped so many years ago. He looked an awful lot like you, too. (painful cough, takes a drag to cover up whatever expression he has on his face) Forgive me, Mr. Donovan.
J: You know, I used to believe in you back then. (voice breaks, begins to pace, having his back to A) Thought you represented everything great about this country.
A: Don’t I still?
J: You don’t. You’re just as fucking greedy and selfish as everyone else. (wheels around to face A, pointing a quivering gun between his eyes)
A: Exactly. That’s the real America. The one that doesn’t care about drafted soldiers drowning in mud, or those who come back seeing shit and knowing they fundamentally aren’t right anymore. The one that doesn’t care about people like your friend out there. The one that would sooner hang you for being a homosexual than me for being a so-called “traitor”.
J: So you’re justified with selling a goddamn nuke, is that what you’re saying?
A: (still fucking smiling) Your comprehension has improved some. Congratulations.
J: (crouches down to be eye-level) So the money was just to sweeten the deal, huh? To ease your conscious— (he presses his hand into A’s wound as harshly as possible, causing A to jolt in pain)— when innocent people inevitably fucking die?
A: We both know I won’t be the last person to do so. If it isn’t the NVA, it’ll be someone else. It’ll keep going until the United States is destroyed.
J: (begins to pace again, silent, blinking hard to avoid tears)
A: I was going to end it, John. I was going to make everyone free from this bullshit. Including you. Including your friend. Including everyone else who is subject to America’s tyranny. I was going to do what you’re too cowardly to do! I was going to end it all!
J: (whips around sharply) Are you finished?
A: (panting, out of energy, the pain finally overcoming the adrenaline and pride, he realizes he’s no longer in total control.)
A: It appears so.

I wonder what Connor’s handwriting looked like🤔 I feel like it would be messy. I know we get to see Marshall's and his was awful. I'm not sure if Connor’s would be better, similar, or worse.

Trans!Donovan
I wanna share finally this really cringey au I made for Mafia 3 but I think I need to start with my trans!Donovan headcanon. I know I made a big headcanon note post here a while back but some little things changed since then. I'm way more open with headcanoning John as a homosexual man, and for a bit now I've also been seeing him as a trans man as well, mostly cause THIS post was the start of some brain worms.
So, most of my main headcanons are still in place: Born in the Southwestern part of PA, a November Scorpio, has autism and also BPD, parents are Irish immigrants, has 2 older brothers. Father is a WW2 vet, oldest brother fought in the Korean War, middle brother is a baseball player. Very Catholic upbringing, both parents were devout, were working class but dad got successful in either mining or steel based production.
Big change is that I think the oldest brother should die overseas in the Korean War, but he was the favorite in the family and his death made things even more tense.
Now for the trans specific stuff:
(Disclaimer: I'm very aware how difficult it would be for a trans man in this era to do ANY of this stuff.)
Born female, deadname was "Jacqueline" but got called "Jackie" a lot, despite being raised female in the 30's-40's, he still has his nosey personality, eavesdropped a lot. Still got into technology like messing with radios and phones, which would get him in trouble a lot. Was considered a nerd with his interest in tech, politics and history.
Tumblr media
Had a habit of stealing his middle brothers clothes a lot, which didn't bother him, since they got along during this time.
Mom would dress him up a lot, especially for church, which John hated but had to take it for most of his childhood. Since he was socialized female, his mother would constantly make comments on his body and how he dressed himself, once he became a preteen and started highschool, she would start shaming him for even saying "Hi" to another boy.
Went to Catholic schools until he graduated. Was a hard kid to get along with but he was very smart and had great grades, even picking up of foreign languages very fast (got that USEFUL autism lol). Nuns did not like him especially in his later teens because he started openly questioning the religion and pointing on contradictions in the Bible.
Tumblr media
Speaking of his teens: that's when he started to think more about his gender and while he was about 16/17, he started transitioning discreetly, even at a young age he was good at making shady connections.
Since binders and sports-bras didn't exist yet, he unfortunately went through most of his teens and 20s binding with bandages, or wearing a lot of layers.
Tumblr media
He graduated highschool at 17 and was miraculously able to get in Princeton University, despite them not letting in female students yet. John used his dads connections and submitted an application under their noses and didn't let his parents know the finer details of it.
Since his own shady connections he was able to change up his legal documents so he can present them at the University to show them that he's a man.
Tumblr media
Eventually he graduated and was recruited into the C.I.A. They did not know he was a FTM transgendered man, and never found out.
Tumblr media
The only people that did know about his identity were, in order: the person that got him hormones and changed his documents, a friend thats a doctor that works for the C.I.A, Connor Aldridge, Robert Marshall, Jackie Grimaldi, Gary (helicopter pilot), and finally Lincoln Clay.
Tumblr media
Speaking of Aldridge, in John's early days in the Agency he had to work under him, and since Connor was his mentor, he started trusting him a lot during their time together in Guatemala.
Tumblr media
Obviously it ended really badly as seen in Stones Unturned, but this was the first time John really came out to someone officially and this shortly lead to him and Connor having a relationship behind the scenes.
Tumblr media
After this everything goes from my trans headcanon to my Cringe AU, so I'll wrap this up here:
Is AFAB and started fully identifying as a man in his mid-late teens.
Binded with layered clothing and bandages. Takes Testosterone injections.
Got top surgery in Vietnam from a South Vietnam allied doctor. Claimed he got ambushed in the country and needed surgery when he's asked from superiors.
Cut contact with family during Princeton years. Cannot face them these days at all.
Liked boys when he was younger which his mom didn't like, still likes men now in a way a lot of people wouldn't like. But he doesn't care lol.
Hormones still won't let him grow facial hair.
Don't worry about the things that don't make sense :)
If you have any problems with this and think I'm weird, I understand but also 👇👇👇
Tumblr media
Stay tuned for the Cringe AU which is gonna get a lot worse :3

I was watching an interview in Alexander Hernandez's instagram, and the interviewer mentioned he auditioned for Connor Aldridge before he got Lincoln's role, so I wanted to draw a what-if scenario.

Aldridge Snippets
Not 100% happy, but it’ll do. For @barbaro-supremacy
Words: 230 ish
POV: 1st person (he’s fun in 1st I can’t lie)
Requests: open!
Feedback is appreciated!
Scene 1
“I always thought the Company was halfway decent at screening out dumbasses.” Donovan’s spitting up blood and with a sideways smile, spits on my face. “Guess I was wrong.”
“That’s funny. That’s real funny.”
Could’ve said the same to you. Perhaps in a different life I would’ve laughed but I don’t much care for being knifed in the fucking face by a subordinate.
“You know what, Johnny? Maybe you’re right.”
That damn smile fades off his face. I knew it would.
Scene 2
“Devotchka. Well, that’s a name.”
“Take or leave it friend. It’s the only intel I have.” ‘Zara’ takes a sip from the coffee I bought (my coffee, to be precise— Cuban bars don’t sell it cheap, either). He wears on the faux Eastern European accent thick, but not well enough to fool me. Couldn’t fool anyone who spoke any Cyrillic language.
I lean back in the shitty plastic chair as Zara lights another cigarette. “A deal’s a deal. Take the coffee and your money and never contact me again.”
“Even with new intel?”
This guy cannot be serious. I must have smiled, as he does too.
“You got thirty seconds to get away from this restaurant or I’m slamming your head into this table until your brains are visible.”
With that, ‘Zara’ leaves the table. He left the coffee behind, but it’s lukewarm now. So much for a pleasant morning.

I had a realization the other day that Aldridge should probably be an Ivy Leaguer bc of the amount of officers that were, and he's supposed to be like a really good officer and now I'm torn. If he did go to an Ivy League college, I wonder which one?

Okay you're gonna get some pixel recreations of some Mafia 3 characters as ponies so...Get Pony'd nerd!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I spent a bit retweaking some of their designs, and trying to figure out their cutie marks (then trying to figure the marks out AGAIN cause these limited pixels feels like trying to decipher ink blots).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay gonna go into some details about their pony counterparts:
I kinda sorta race coded them with the different types of ponies. Italian characters are unicorns, Irish characters (or some army/govt. characters) are pegasi, General population of Americans are earth ponies, as well as some African-American/Haitian/Caribbean while also being a zebra/horse type hybrid. Yeah I know this can all fall apart but I'll be honest...'m not that smart lol.
Lincoln: built like Big Mac/sorta like a Clydesdale. Zorse hybrid + unicorn. Has a darker toned muzzle and fading zebra stripes on his main body and back legs. Has limited magic and usually knows battlefield type magic and some healing. Blank flank because he's unsure of his life, thought he'd get his cutiemark in the army.
Not seen: A magic bolt scar on the right side of his forehead from a failed attack to break his horn, shooting star shaped.
Donovan: Smaller pegasus that has troubles flying. Sock fur patterns on his legs, appaloosa spotty patterns on his main body + freckle patterns on face. Cutie mark is a typewriter he got in college. Major injury on right wing which reduces him to have short bursts of fluttering. Devoted follower of pony JFK.
Father James: Short but lanky earth pony. Still a priest but has a cutie mark he got from field medicine. Faded zebra stripes on his back legs.
Cassandra: purple zorse with a stronger zebra background. Stripes framing her face, main body and legs. Cutie mark is a pierced heart for her own type of magic.
Giorgi: High society unicorn that loves getting his hooves dirty. Wine glass cutie mark with a heart shaped skull within the wine, symbolizing his status but his specialty with backstabbing close ones. Usually uses his magic for him doing illegal stuff.
Anna: disheveled unicorn made up of cool tones. Taken in by a cult for being a rare unicorn in a group of mostly earth ponies. Cutie Mark is a melting skull in the shape of a question mark. Was considered a bad luck mark before she met Bonnie.
Aldridge: Rust colored Pegasus. Considered a pro-flyer within the agency. Cutie mark is a fedora/trench coated figure with glowing eyes. Was responsible for Donovan's handicapped wing. Not scene: scar on his face from his fight with Donovan.
I should do the other characters but I'm stuck on who to do next. Suggestions appreciated!
