i've been in fandom spaces or adjacent in some way since i was a preteen. i write fanfiction; i yearn for a lot of rapidly disappearing fandom culture and etiquette; i used to be involved in the tumblr rp scene.
this blog will feature nsfw, written and images.
i prefer to keep my spaces minor free, for both comfort and safety of all parties involved. the note about nsfw is a separate but related point, even if nsfw wasn't present, i just really don't have any desire to talk to teens because i'm literally thirty-four, and would rather just talk to adults. however i don't really care if you're here, so much as this is about direct interactions/talking. i can't stop you from browsing my blog and I dont check every follower i have.

something something... playing off the idea that all supers, even if unrelated to their powers, have some level of enhanced strength and most importantly: durability...
most everyone at SDN is a hero, actively or formerly. most everyone then, by proxy, is a super. this includes the z team. there are other non-super heroes, of course. but not many, not all of them are at SDN let alone the Torrance branch specifically (so most other normies at that branch have a decent chance of just being normal civvies).
but what if enhanced durability means that most supers don't really have scars? it's too difficult for their skin to break, so it usually has to be really bad for that to happen + not all wounds will leave scars.
so what if robert being absolutely covered head to toe in scars being actually a deeply unsettling (if not outright disturbing) sight for most heroes/supers? but not because they see it and think of him as being fragile or anything like that.
instead, robert's scars being an uncomfortable reminder that they're mortal. that they would probably look the same if they didn't have enhanced durability and thick skin... robert is an unsettling, living, breathing reminder of the danger the job carries. an upsetting reminder of perspective most heroes probably need reminding of from time to time.
sshhhh he's exactly where he wants to be (1/10?) 🔥🤖
also noticed that I've only drawn toothless flambae so heres singed eyebrows flambae for a change ❤️🔥🔥
leaving this here in case I get lazy and drop this whole idea lol
I wanted to make these by pairs at first but then really struggled with how to pose all three of them so im settling with these (except for coupe and punch up and prism technically)
I forget how much of the X-Men movie verse is just
Charles: my old friend, my love, we could have retired to a house by the sea where no one knows us and I would have kissed you in the sunshine and tenderly fed you fresh fruit every day for breakfast had shit not gotten real. Please reconsider your decision to kill us.
Erik: I still dream of that house by the sea and making love to you every night and bringing you your tea made just how you like it every morning, my love, my old friend. I'm gonna kill you now.
In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.
You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

Sorry I haven't been posting for a while I just have some stuff going on right now and I haven't been feeling too good lately (health wise) sorry again!
sometimes instead of “why can’t they just be friends” i think it should be “why can’t they also be friends” because sometimes shipping feels much too much like forcing two pretty characters to kiss and be intimate without actually being interested in the dynamic the two people have. what about hanging out together. what about why they like being in each others company. what do they argue about. how do they patch things up. what do they laugh about.
robert who is soo used to being alone for extremely long periods of time that he talks to himself. not necessarily full out loud conversations, usually; at least not while around others. but those happen, when he is totally alone. he's so hyper-vigilant that he's always aware of when he can be perceived. robert just having a hyperactive mind too doesn't help. he can't not think, there is no such thing as a head empty moment for him.
but he does still unconsciously mutter to himself, sometimes fairly normal things ranging from repeating what he was just told as he jots down a note; to just himself replying to himself but only one half of it was said aloud; to random impulsive thoughts.
half the time he is mumbling so the z-team can't hear him over comms clearly enough to make out what he's saying if it's picked up at all. but they catch a lot of it, just because robert isn't muting.
sometimes it's loud enough that they actually thing robert is talking to one of them, and half of those times it's utterly random and makes no sense how that could have possibly come up.
talks a lot to inanimate objects too, or like beef. those tending to be more full/complete sentences. especially talks to the computer, not even talking the like hacking stuff but like in general. at home, on walks, or traveling any robert will talk about the day with beef. does the silly voice in response as if they're having a convo.
"can you believe mal pulled that stunt?"
[in the silly beef voice] "she scared me half to death!"
"i know! way too risky."
[robert drops a small bag of chips and sighs] "beef, look at what you made me do" [beef had nothing to do with it]
[does the silly voice while beef tries to beat robert to cleaning the chips up, beef by eating robert by sweeping] "you're welcome!"
the z team finding all of this incredibly endearing, of course. chase just notes it's more intense than when he was a kid, when it was still a big habit of his, but not to this degree.
robert just when not listening to music or watching something, needing to fill the air with noise. and admittedly most of it just because of how lonely he got between the brief moments of socialization with the public.
Happy Pride Month, y'all! 🏳️🌈 The Triple Frontier Fans Community is back and hosting another fandom-wide event! 🎉 We thought we’d ease back into things with something nice and easy, so this month it’s all about fancasts!
This event will run from 15–30 June 2026.
We encourage the reblogging of this post and sharing of it with anyone you think might be interested. This is open to anyone who likes Triple Frontier!
♤ The Event
We’re turning to a tried-and-true fandom activity: fan casting! This event is all about making fancasts for Triple Frontier.
What is a fan cast?
Fan Casts or Fancasting, refers to the practice of fans selecting an actor or other individual to portray a character. The term may refer to fans speculating which actor will portray a character in a future role. This is sometimes called "dream casting" or "fantasy casting."
- fanlore.org
Obviously, Triple Frontier, is already a realized movie so this will be focused on alternative casting for the movie’s characters.
If you had to recast the movie, who would you choose? Who would you cast if the movie was sci-fi instead? Or a romcom? A period drama? What if we got to see the mentioned, but unseen, characters?
As a bonus, we whipped up a picker wheel, full of different themes for you to choose from if you’d like an extra challenge! It contains everything from specific decades to other genres. It’s totally optional! If you don’t want to work under a theme, then there is no need.
→ → → PICKER WHEEL
You don’t even have to do anything fancy! You can do any format for this fancast, whether it’s just writing down a list or making a whole video. Do whatever it is you want to present your fancasts. There is also no limit to how many fancasts you can do!
Remember, this is all just for fun! So no bullying or harassing people for what they choose.
Below will be both guidelines for the event, including tagging info, as well as we will have some clarifications for the themes under the cut.
♤ Guidelines
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? Anyone in the Triple Frontier fandom!
REQUIRED CHARACTERS: Your fancast be as extensive as you want, but each fancast must include the following characters at minimum:
Ben Miller
Frankie “Catfish” Morales
Santiago “Pope” Garcia
Tom “Redfly” Davis
William “Ironhead” Miller
Yovanna
Lorea
CHARACTER RESTRICTIONS: This is focused on the canon characters of the movie. So please no fancasts for original characters, any kind of insert-characters, et cetera.
FORMAT:
Whatever format you want! It can be a bullet point list, edits of any kind, gifset, et cetera.
All you need at minimum is: the fancast + listing what character you picked them for; and the theme (if any) picked.
You are welcome to share any thoughts you have on the casting, inspirations, et cetera. Feel free to be as detailed (or sparse) as you feel.
We just ask that for each fancast, you contain it all to one post per-instance of a fancast. Especially if you decide to do multiple.
KEEP THE SPIRIT: In general, but especially if you are working within a theme, try to keep to the spirit of the movie itself. It’s part of the challenge, after all!
Something to keep in mind: While we are not going to insist that ethnicity is kept 1:1, or anything of that nature, as to not limit everyone’s creativity; it is important to keep in mind that this is a diverse cast. Especially for the main cast, the U.S. military is extremely diverse! Remember, this is about the characters.
EVENT TIME-FRAME: 15–30 June 2026
TAGGING:
Event Tag: #TFF Fancast Event

A big goal of TFF is to help build up a strong, supportive, and creative community
♤ Theme Clarifications
This is just to clear up any confusion over the picker wheel, as there is only so much space for each entry lmao.
If you need any clarifications, please reply/comment on this posts. This will be updated in the original posts if folks need clarifications on other themes.
“ERA”: The idea behind these is what would the movie look like if it was made during the listed decade? What actors would have been the perfect fit, during that time?
GENDER SWAP: Gender Swap, or Gender Bend, is typically as just switching the gender of the character. Traditionally, this works on the binary (ex: cis man → cis woman); but we will not limit it to just the binary! Go wild, do whatever you want. Just the idea is what if they weren’t their canon gender; whatever that may look like.
FREE: You can just choose any option on the picker wheel, spin again, or make your own!
ANOTHER CULTURE/COUNTRY: This theme is meant to ask what would the casting choices look like if this was made in a different country / culture; and then what country would they be going to for the heist? It’s meant to be a play on the classic ‘but what if it was a [culture] story instead?’ (examples you may have seen before: fairy tales but placed within a different culture than the original)
