Hi again!!

Who actually owns the Pakrestica speakeasy??

The one who was the first, original, Mr. Hartland??? Because Rocky and Mordecai don't own the speakeasy even though Rocky performs there every night now.

Short answer? That's shrouded in mystery. No, really, it is.

The idea behind Pakrestica came when I stumbled over this one book, or more like an autobiography of a gay man living in the 1920s St. Louis. On one of theese pages, it was mentioned that he met a 'young man' at the intersection of Sixth and Olive - the same intersection where Pakrestica is hiddenin my fic by the way - who was just as 'affected' as the writer was and they spend the night having 'the most delilghtful time'.

Why is that relevant? Because the biography was penned by someone named 'Claude Hartland', a pseudonym of course. Point is - Hartland as a character was always a legend, a mysstery, the voice of society's undesirables. He might own Pakrestica, or the answer might be more boring. I think it's funner to think that Pakrestica is truly led by a gay mythical figure-

Something that really happened the other night that gave me so much emotional whiplash I had to make a comic out of it. Enjoy!

I have a question about Pakrestica and the first interaction between Rocky and Mordecai. 🙇‍♀️

In the early chapters, we see Rocky arrive at Pakrestica and meet several men. Crow is the one who shows him around, dances with him first, helps him discover that side of himself, and, as mentioned later, Rocky spends the night dancing and kissing different men. However, when Mordecai appears on the balcony, something seems to change

What caught my attention is that Rocky is the center of attention for the entire place, playing the violin, surrounded by admirers, and enjoying the experience, but as soon as he locks eyes with Mordecai, he stops playing and goes straight to him. Later, during the dance, he seems to establish a connection very different from the one he had with the other men that night.

My question is: what exactly did Rocky see in Mordecai in that first moment? Why, of all the men he met in Pakrestica, did he seem to be drawn to him so immediately and instinctively?

Oh, what a magnificent and well-thought out question! For a decision I have made quite some time ago too, so let me train my memory for a bit.

Let's see. I believe the thing that truly caught Rocky's attention was the mystery. One thing I made sure to establish was how easily Pakrestica and all these men gravitated to, and how willingly they all coveted Rocky's attention. Then there was this shadow, a figure looking straight at him from high up in a view that could only be described as breathtaking. Rocky already had a thing with characters that seemed unattainable to him, characters he considered larger than life - just think Mitzi - so it made sense his curiosity was positively piqued.

It certainly helped that Mordecai is quite a looker up close. Plus the fact that he managed to keep up with Rocky, adapted to him almost seamlessly, and the whole thrill of finding out they were connected in all that was drama - Rocky could hardly stop himself from being besotted.

The rest is history.

The Measure of Things

"Why not?"

Mordecai nursed the warm cup in his hands, contemplating how to best explain his point. "Because it's ridiculous. Doing so would generate an overabundance of goods that the system is simply not made to tolerate."

He raised the cup to his lips, savoring the way the warm liquid wetted his tongue, and for a moment, he almost missed the way Roark paused in his reply.

"...Well, they can always compensate," said the tabby, stabbing his fork into the stack of pancakes and raising the skewered folds to his mouth. Surely he wouldn't-

He did.

With mortified shock - as well as a hint of genuine awe - Mordecai watched as Roark made quick work on the otherwise hefty breakfast meal. He had never seen such a feral and disgusting display, the way drops of maple syrup would sputter and scatter all across the bartop. Surely, the meal weren't so delicious as to los3 yourself in you base instincts?

Amidst the gorging, Roark seemeted to stop, considerimg his partner-in-meal.

"Whah h'ome?" he asked, proposing Mordecai the chewed and dripping core of what little remained of the stack. The gunman could barely shake his head, utterly stunned. "Mo'e fo' me!"

He's going through it

Viktor being genuinely good with kids, while simultaneously distracting Ivy so Mordecai can escape AND taking the opportunity to roast him is everything to me 😭

It makes me wonder what sort of person he was before the war. I feel like we got a glimpse of it in Ingenue…

Also, Viktor’s “lying” reminded me of this scene from the comic!

Which is just. It’s so cute that this is seems to be a routine between them. It also really fits the push-and-pull between Ivy wanting to be closer to the gang and Viktor wanting to protect her from that life.

[bubblywater]

We do have the smallest hint of what Viktor was like before the war! Reading this honestly breaks my heart because it sounds like he was such a sweetheart. Seems like he was always the quiet type but he showed much more compassion than how he is now, sounds like everyone generally liked him if just his presence alone was enough to calm down a room. Perhaps a Viktor who smiled regularly. Would love if they dropped an interlude one day of pre war Viktor

Reading the book and I can't help but think the ship bloodmary would be completely different depending on what grace is used for it lol. He's just so scientifically unhinged in the book.

(the inspo used for this is convo between me and a friend)

[picnokinesis]

Some cover art for my bloodymary superpower au, centre of gravity, which I started posting on ao3 the other day! The Petrova Line is a beam of energy that appears on Earth out of nowhere and suddenly gives a small number of people unnatural abilities. Grace has gyrokinesis, which he's terrified of using, and Simon has haemokinesis, which he is definitely not terrified of using lol. Rocky is a robot! And the SM-13 is a van, because I'm apparently incapable of not making an au without turning at least one sci-fi vehicle into a van...

Adding a couple of extra versions under the cut because I liked how they turned out - one sans title, and another sans background
