Wanda Maximoff

In all chaos there is calculation.

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

Witchy Greetings, Tumblr!

Welcome to @inchaosthereiscalculation, an indie Wanda Maximoff RP blog where I play the Scarlet Witch as unpredictably as her powers. Whether you're here for the spells, the sass, or just some good old-fashioned multiversal chaos, you've come to the right place. 🌟✨

Looking for angst? I can serve up more trauma than caused by Agatha’s meddling. Want some comedy? I promise Wanda’s dry wit is sharper than her hex bolts. Need a little fluff? I can summon up all the cozy Wanda/Vision domestic feels you’re craving, no magic required (okay, there might be just a little magic necessary).

This blog is OC and crossover friendly, so bring some familiar faces, and/or your vampires, superheroes, or time-traveling baristas —Wanda's ready for anything. And don’t worry, I promise not to rewrite reality... too much.

Rules?

Be kind, or get hexed.

No godmodding—Wanda’s the only one allowed to alter reality here, and only with explicit ooc permission. 😜

Minors, for your protection and for mine, please do NOT interact. I'm only looking to role play with other adults, but I encourage you to hone your craft as a writer elsewhere with people your own age.

Have fun, because what's RP without a little chaos?

Follow for the magic, stay for the madness. 💫🌀

(Mutants, metahumans, enhanced individuals, and normies are all equally welcome. Ask about our chaos discounts.)

P.S. My "main" blog is @arghressivepirate, so if you're a rp blog and end up getting any asks, DMs, or follows from that blog, I'm not trying to interact with you as a personal blog. It's because Tumblr won't let me send them from my side blog.

WRITING TIPS: Hidden Anger

tips to help you write a character with hidden or unresolved anger! no credit needed. p.s, my main was terminated for a few days, but it came back.

＊ Getting overly angry over small problems/or nothing at all.

＊ Tensing or avoiding as much contact or communication with the person or thing that angers them.

＊ Being stiff, evasive, or uncaring in the presence of what makes them angry.

＊ They let their hidden anger out through small things; music, yelling, hand-clenching, hair pulling, criticism, etc.

＊ Letting out anger on other people, if they can't let it out at the trigger.

＊ Trembling or shaking from anger, shaky shoulders or tense in the back.

＊ Much easier to annoy or irritate, they might randomly have bouts of anger.

＊ Back or body pains from the anger, best described as a tense sore feeling.

"I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD" PROMPTS *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

who else knows you're still alive?

don't tell me i'm the only one that knows.

i never should have believed their lies.

how could you keep this from me?

they lied to you. they knew it would break you if i died.

i staged it all.

there's no way this is happening.

i'm never letting you go.

i promised you i'd never leave you.

but i saw you die! this is impossible!

no. no. this isn't happening. this can't be real.

i watched it. i watched you die and now you're standing here.

how is this even possible?

they might have exaggerated just a bit.

we needed to make it look like i was dead.

you just let me spend all this time thinking you were dead?

did you tell anyone else?

this was your master plan? fake your death, see what happens?

i don't know whether to be pissed or be thrilled to see you again.

i've just seen a ghost.

you saw what they wanted you to see.

you're not real. i must be dreaming.

did you look for me?

funny. i don't remember falling asleep.

you just let us all believe you were dead?

it was the only way to do this. i'm sorry.

when were you going to tell me?

i watched the life leave your eyes...

you kept this from me.

oh my god... no. no no no. this can't be happening.

how did you... how did you even do this?

someone pinch me.

you look pretty good for someone that's supposed to be dead.

i watched you die in my arms.

they told me you died.

i promised you i'd come back.

they lied to me? all this time?

trust me, i wanted to tell you. i really did.

i think i need to sit down.

i'm gonna need some time to process this.

are you real? can i touch you?

what was all this about you dying?

you've kept the truth from me all this time.

had you just told me, i could have helped you.

i begged them to let me tell you, but they said it would ruin our plans.

the blood was fake. i'm all right.

yes, i'm alive! would you please come over here and give me a hug?

i didn't think i'd survive it, either.

i knew you'd come back for me.

we had to make it believable from the start.

there was no other way.

i should have told you.

i tried to get a message out to you.

they said you'd moved on, so i figured i should, too.

i wish i had all the answers for you.

i know you expect me to be okay with this, but things have changed since you died.

[name]... i thought you were dead.

will you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?

i'll never leave you again.

i swear on my life, this wasn't supposed to happen this way.

i take it you got my message.

everything got out of hand.

they didn't tell you?

glad you could make it.

i'm sorry i didn't reach out to you sooner.

all of a sudden, you come back into my life.

i'm back and better than ever.

i don't want to hear your excuses.

WandaVision 1.02 | Don't Touch That Dial Agatha All Along 1.02 | Circle Sewn With Fate / Unlock Thy Hidden Gate

[wandagrangeraddams]

So. The Darkhold.

Multiverse of Madness does an abysmal job portraying it. The script repeatedly insists that it's the reason why Wanda is so wildly out of character, but never actually does anything to reinforce that idea. In fact, it outright denies it numerous times, with the book getting destroyed halfway through the movie, and there not being any obvious mental effects on Doctor Strange.

So what do you think? How morally culpable is Wanda for what that movie forced her to do? Is the Darkhold a valid excuse? If it's not, then how can she ever be absolved? I desperately want her to be.

I honestly think it’s the writers fault. Sure, if you’re talking in world, yes Wanda is doing bad things. But, I have to admit, eve with the bad things she does, I know that all the things she does is understandable. Not justifiable. But, understandable. I mean, I would do the same thing. She has been through hell and has never had the chance to be happy. And yes, the Darkhold was corrupting her. And yes, she was letting it. But, the thing is, the Darkhold that made her go worse than she would regularly go. I have a theory that if weren’t for the Darkhold, she would have tried to negotiate with America, that when she learned how to use her powers, she would transport her to a place where her children are alive, but that Wanda is dead. And in return, Wanda would help America find her mom.

Anywhere but Westview: alternate futures for Wanda if someone, ANYONE, had actually looked out for her after Endgame:

Clint takes her in and she lives with him and his family, eventually meeting Kate and Yelena

She throws in with Sam and Bucky and helps out against the Flag Smashers

She ends up bonding with Peter Parker and eventually accompanies him against Mysterio and the Multiverse (also, I only just thought of this, but Wanda meeting Quentin Beck would be pretty interesting, as he could try to sway her with their mutual hatred of Tony).

She accompanies Steve to put back the Stones and convinces him to return to the present instead of going back to the 40s.

T’Challa and Shuri, feeling guilty over not being able to save Vision, invite her to stay in Wakanda, and she eventually helps Shuri against Namor.

Peter Quill invites her to join the Guardians because he wants a buffer between Thor and himself and she ends up becoming close with the crew, especially Rocket and Nebula. (While I would love to imagine her written into Volume 3, I respect Gunn too much to pollute his story.)

Scott asks her if she wants to meet Cassie, and she ends up bonding with the Lang family, eventually going with them to the Quantum Realm and battling Kang

Bruce offers her help to make amends between the two of them, and she goes with him to Sakaar

Strange is fascinated by her powers and invites her to Kamar-Taj

Rhodey, seeking to make amends with her in a way Tony never wanted to, offers her a place to stay.

If anyone wants to try their hand at making one of these a full fanfic story, be my guest.

[wandagrangeraddams]

I love all of these!!! Like, I thought Clint would care for her enough to take her in. I mean, both of them had their last scenes in Endgame together!!!

[thewitchsvision]

From @inchaosthereiscalculation: "you were once my companion, you were all that mattered."

"Arent I still considered that companion?"

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"If you'll still have me. How-how much do you remember? About everything?"

[thewitchsvision]

"What makes you think that I wouldn't have you? Everything. I remember everything"

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"And you don't hate me? Even though I held an entire town hostage an-and, basically, killed our sons? All because I wasn't clever enough to figure out how to save both the town and our family."

[thewitchsvision]

"One could possibly say the same about myself with everything that had happened during that period of time."

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Was there a way, Vis? One that would've been satisfying for the three of you?

Because your mind can run calculations like it's nothing, but the only way I could think of to save both was by shrinking down the hex, and I didn't dare suggest it because that wouldn't have been any kind of life, would it? The three of you unable to go any farther from the house than the yard?

So, tell me, did I choose wrong?"

[thewitchsvision]

"I dont know. Atleast not fully. Was it something that not only crossed your mind but that version of who I was? Probably but dont you think that if it was something that was.meant to be done it would have been that way awhile ago?"

"Or atleast be around now? If you chose wrong there may have been more problems then there have been. You saw an opportunity to fix something an you did."

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Maybe you're right.

You know, sometimes I think I just made everything more painful with the hex, but I wouldn't have you without it. Not like this.

And that alone would be worth it. Even if you did hate me."

[thewitchsvision]

"I may not be the version that was there through everything but I do posses those memories from that one after the last encounter."

"I wouldn't know I didnt fully experience everything myself but one could say we hated each other up till a moment in time"

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Ha. I guess you're right. If we can come back from that, we can come back from anything."

[tommyofspeed]

@inchaosthereiscalculation said: "Don't cry. You're perfect."

When was the last time Tommy cried in front of someone? Probably never. Actually, when was the last time he cried at all? He couldn’t say anymore. Tommy never did well with emotions—especially sadness. It was always better to be angry than sad, and that’s how he’d lived for as long as he could remember.

But… so much has happened the past few months. And he felt comfortable around the Wanda. Probably because of that, he couldn’t stop the small tears that stubbornly escaped. He wiped them away furiously, determined not to let any more fall.

“If that’s true,” he began, making an effort to stop crying and to look strong. “then why does everyone always leave me?”

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"I won't," promised Wanda. "Never again."

She paused. "I know it's made it hard for you both, wearing new bodies and living new lives, but I need you to understand—the hex, when I ended it. That was a sacrifice, as much for you boys as the whole town. Because it crossed my mind to just shrink the barrier down to our house, but that wouldn't have been fair to the the two of you, or your father."

"Even with all my woo," she explained, showing just one little spark of red from a fingertip, for no other reason than to demonstrate what she meant — because calling it magic still felt weird, "I wouldn't have been able to make it not feel like a prison. But, you and your brother, you've both always been loved—I loved you before you'd even been born, and from afar when I thought you didn't exist anymore in this universe. I promise you that."

"The people who leave you," she finished, softly, "trust me when I say that it's their loss. Because I would know."

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

Wanda shrugged. "A chaos witch isn't so different from a green witch. They say it was an explosion that created the world, so I'd say it's pretty evident that chaos begets life. Not that I'm interested in being whatever it is that you want."

As for finishing the witch's road, Wanda's brow furrowed. "What the h–" Wanda's voice trailed off as her eyes landed on the minor of the group. "Heck," she corrected, pivoting away from the word she'd been going to say in an effort to mind her language, "is that?"

[thehxrkness]

"Not just what I want. What we all want."

She glanced back at the group, who were all waiting on the two of them. She quietly cursed to herself about how inconvenient it would be to not have a proper green witch. Oh well. Wanda would do.

"It's where we are. We have to do trials to test in witchcraft and yada yada. The one thing I know that'll intrigue you is the fact that at the end, you get what you want the most. Am I right in assuming that might be Vision?"

While she wasn't lying for once, she was still manipulating regardless. It was just what she tended to do best.

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Trials? And why-" would I want to do those, Wanda had planned on saying as she interrupted, but what Agatha said next - now, that changed everything. Suddenly, she went from interrupting dissmisively to a skeptical, "I'm listening."

Vision was already out there, somewhere, Wanda knew. Or a version of him, anyway. Ship of Thesus and all that. But he'd taken off and, apparently, wasn't interested in finding her — and if that had been the case before, he certainly wouldn't want to see her now, after everything she'd done. All the atrocities she'd committed. So, at the end of the day, Wanda was too ashamed to go out and look for him herself.

Still, "That'd be nice," she said, and it would have been, to have her Vision back. The one with whom she'd shared actual history, not the one with secondhand memories, or was it thirdhand? "But I've grieved him four times over already." And there was a certain kind of closure to be found in that.

But more importantly, "I want my boys back," she said. "There's nothing that compares to a mother's grief." Not even the death of a lover, or a spouse.

Her children been real, too, no matter the fact that they'd disappeared with the hex, nor what anyone else said. Made from scratch, and Wanda knew they'd been real because she'd been controlling situations, outcomes, but she hadn't been controlling them in the hex. "That's what I want, more than anything."

"You're telling me this place — it can give me that, really?"

"And If I help," she said, her eyes narrowing, "I expect you not to hurt them, in return. No matter our history." Telling Agatha she had to promise would be meaningless because Wanda didn't trust her, and still, she was vulnerable and she needed to hear it.

[wandagrangeraddams]

Are You Sure Strange?

SPOILERS!!!

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"No," promised Wanda. "I won't. I understand that would be upsetting." She'd seen how a different universe's Billy and Tommy had reacted when she'd tried to kill their Wanda, in an effort to take her place. She didn't want to be looked at that way ever again, not by her own children.

"Not hurting you—of course, that includes the people you love."

[billyktothemax]

"Yeah, it would be," Billy nodded. He didn't like to think about it, but he could imagine it so easily. He had imagined it, since Wanda first cropped up. There had been nights of his tossing and turning, wondering what people would think or feel.

He just nodded, glad to know she understood where he was coming from. That was something. It was definitely a good thing, but jeeze. It was all so complicated. "What are you doing here?"

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

Wanda elected to respond with the conversational equivalent of a shrug, wherein a question was technically answered, not with anything resolute, but with another question instead.

"Where else should I be?" she asked.

i'm holding my world together with a bootstring .

i would do it again if i could hold you for a minute .

my life was a storm since i was born , how could i fear any hurricane ?

heaven is not fit to house a love like you and i .

i miss when we did not need much .

we didn't get it right , but we did our best .

when people say that something is forever , either way it ends .

i have never known a silence like the one fallen here .

there's money to be made , whatever is still to come .

i don't want to be anything like this at all .

there are some things that nobody teaches you .

we can celebrate the good that we've done .

if there was anyone to get through this life with their heart in tact , they didn't do it right .

all i needed was someone .

you only feel it when it's lost .

the awful things we do to make our heads feel quiet .

you may never know your fortune .

so far from home to have a stranger call you 'darling' .

i'm a butchered tongue still singing here above the ground .

if i was a riptide , i wouldn't take you out .

knowing that everything ends won't change our plan .

i feel lighter than i have in so much time .

i don't know how the feeling ended .

i know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault .

how could i fall when i am lifted by every word you say to me ?

if i said that this was drowning , you'd tell me i'm walking on water .

who wants to live forever , babe ?

old and young are welcome to the meal .

how can something be so much heavier but so much less than what it seems ?

we had nowhere to go and every desire to go there .

if i fall , i only pray , don't fall away from me .

all our weight is just a burden offered to us by the world .

getting through still has a cost .

so much of our life is just carving through the dark .

after this i'm never gonna be the same .

some part of me must have died the first time you called me 'baby' .

are there limits to emptiness ?

i wish i was the sunlight , just sitting on the mississippi .

if you need to , darling , lean your weight onto me .

you can't buy this fineness .

some part of me must have come alive the first time you called me 'baby' .

the future's so bright it's burning .

i would do anything just to run away .

i heard once , it's the comforts that make us feel numb .

darkness always finds you , either way .

i know being reckless and young isn't how the damage gets done .

i haven't felt it since then .

i do not have wings , love , and i never will .

one time we would want for nothing , we knew what our love was worth .

i think i'll take my whiskey neat .

i'd still be surprised i could find you , in any life .

i don't need to know where we begin and end .

my name always hits my ears as such an awful sound .

i'm taking no orders , i'm gonna be nobody's soldier .

living the dream , benzos and gasoline .

i wish i could go along , don't get me wrong .

do you think i'd give up ?

i'm infinitely suffering , but fighting it off like all creation .

if you're drunk on life , babe , that's great .

what good would it be on the far side of things ?

i aim low , i aim true and to the ground is where i go .

i wouldn't sell the world , i would hold on for all its worth .

choose between being a butcher and a pauper .

i feel as useful as dirt .

it's the sound of it that brings me here .

when was the last time ?

i want to fade away with you .

whatever keeps you around , it keeps you around .

funny how true colors shine in darkness and secrecy .

when i was younger , i used to guess if there were limits to emptiness .

you know i'm good on my own .

one bright morning changes all things .

i'm sick to my skin , watching the news again .

how could you think i'd scare so easily ?

now that it's done , there's not one thing i would change .

would all things god allows remain above ground ?

i'd walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you .

you treat your mouth like it's heaven's gate .

could this be how every day begins ?

i can scarce believe what i'm believing in .

whatever you choose , you lose in the long run .

your reflection can't offer a word to the bliss of not knowing yourself .

the goal i was aiming for was the wrong one .

you're too sweet for me .

your heart , love , has such darkness .

let the sun only shine on me through a falling sky .

i don't wanna choose between being a salesman and a soldier .

how do you sleep so well ?

i wouldn't sell the world for all the gold and sterling .

the street is for the laughter of young women and men .

you can keep a dream in your mind only to find out it's the hope that's killing you .

each time i'm shocked by the light .

july is still coming , just knowing that gets me through .

maybe i have yet to venture out and see the places i dream about .

no closer could i be to god .

what you live in , it finds a way to live in you .

i want to be so far away from sight and mind .

you know the distance made no difference to me .

i thought you were like an angel to me .

i'd move so fast that i'd outpace the dawn .

all my love and terror balanced there between those two eyes .

i'm still glad i met you .

that moment i knew , i had no choice but to love you .

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Oh, I could never regret either of you," said Wanda. "If there's anything you take away from this conversation, know that you've always been loved."

"Then what?" she asked, when Billy stated that he wasn't scared of her. Wanda wasn't sure how else to read his body language.

[billyktothemax]

"That you might hurt someone else in order to have access to me." Billy said. The words tumbled out, before he could even realize he had something to say. He found it to be true, if harsh. "Maybe on accident, I don't know."

He shrugged, shoulders pulling inwards with his discomfort. It was harsh. Cold. But he could just imagine how his mom would end up in the cross hairs, breaking her heart then his in turn.

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"No," promised Wanda. "I won't. I understand that would be upsetting." She'd seen how a different universe's Billy and Tommy had reacted when she'd tried to kill their Wanda, in an effort to take her place. She didn't want to be looked at that way ever again, not by her own children.

"Not hurting you—of course, that includes the people you love."

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"You're testing my patience. You admit to helping with whatever this is-" At the phrase 'whatever this is', Wanda gesticulated frustratedly at their current, unfamiliar surroundings. "But you still won't answer my question. So, I'll ask it again. What. Do. You. Want?"

"And, even better, why should I help?"

[thehxrkness]

"I wanted a green witch, Wanda. Instead I got you."

The way the other acted quietly entertained Agatha, her ignorance to what was going on around them just giving the older witch more proof that the teenager was possibly related to her. Specifically as her son. But that would be kept to herself for now.

"Listen, toots. We're trying to finish the Witch's Road. Whether you help us or not is your decision, but I think it'd probably be better for you to come along."

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

Wanda shrugged. "A chaos witch isn't so different from a green witch. They say it was an explosion that created the world, so I'd say it's pretty evident that chaos begets life. Not that I'm interested in being whatever it is that you want."

As for finishing the witch's road, Wanda's brow furrowed. "What the h–" Wanda's voice trailed off as her eyes landed on the minor of the group. "Heck," she corrected, pivoting away from the word she'd been going to say in an effort to mind her language, "is that?"

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Oh," said Wanda, frowning, though she could only assume a misunderstanding was at play when Billy backed away from her. "I don't mean I'm literally going to cast another hex. Just- I can't bring myself to regret the one I did cast, not when something so perfect," or someone, rather, "came from it."

"You don't have anything to fear from me," she added, quietly, even though it hurt to think Billy might be afraid of her.

[billyktothemax]

"Okay. That's," Billy was unsure. He rolled a shoulder, moving until his bag strap was higher on his shoulder as his eyes traveled around them, watching the edge of the nearest streets. "-nice. I'm glad you don't regret me and Tommy."

He shut his eyes. "I know you won't hurt me, Wanda. I get that, that's not the thing."

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Oh, I could never regret either of you," said Wanda. "If there's anything you take away from this conversation, know that you've always been loved."

"Then what?" she asked, when Billy stated that he wasn't scared of her. Wanda wasn't sure how else to read his body language.

[billyktothemax]

@inchaosthereiscalculation asked: I would do it again if i could hold you for a minute."

"Please. Don't." Billy said quietly. He didn't know how to react to that. It was an odd, twisting sort of sensation, but enough of him remembered his mom, to take a half step backwards, away from Wanda. He had to respect that much, and he couldn't-? He couldn't. "You don't have to talk like that."

[inchaosthereiscalculation]

"Oh," said Wanda, frowning, though she could only assume a misunderstanding was at play when Billy backed away from her. "I don't mean I'm literally going to cast another hex. Just- I can't bring myself to regret the one I did cast, not when something so perfect," or someone, rather, "came from it."

"You don't have anything to fear from me," she added, quietly, even though it hurt to think Billy might be afraid of her.
