#thaddeus cooper

a real charmer, that one.

I'm actually getting wild atp, I'm sorry this is so long but tbh with how many fandoms there are it just made more sense to do it in one. (but one of these is actually an old oc that's been on the blog for over a year I just?? never posted her intro?? she is literally the only oc i have that has posts before any form of an intro. she was my first gif manip that's how old this is) (And all of these mcu through doctor who lists are Jack Wolfe faces sorry the NTN proshoot has been watched by me three times, it may be a fourth tonight, he's in my brain)

Riverdale (this one is the old one)

Katherine Keller (Neve Campbell/Kaia Gerber FC), FP Jones ship. Younger sister of Tom Keller, Katherine was a relatively good North Side girl. She was popular and pretty and nice, but she did enjoy having an edge sometimes. An edge that led to a very fun time with FP Jones, what was supposed to be a FWB that led to a little more that neither wanted to admit to. But they graduated, she grew up and he joined the army though she begged him not to. So she left town, and he came back and got right back with the Serpents. She would visit very briefly since then, only to see her nephew, and her nephew discovering a dead kids body? Well, that's enough reason to come back and stay. Even if it means she runs back into FP.

Game of Thrones (yes, more)

Jaehaerys Targaryen Blackfyre (Luke Pasqualino FC), Daenerys Targaryen & Jon Snow ship. Aegon Targaryen was the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell, he was believed to have been murdered by the Mountain the same night his sister and mother were. Except, he wasn't. Varys, the Master of Whispers, had taken him prior and switched him with another child, sending him across the Narrow Sea to be raised in a manner fit for a king. He knows the history, he speaks several languages, he's well trained in combat and the way of the Faith, he even knows how to handle labor and cooking and mending on his own, even if for his safety he has been raised under a different name it’s still one he claims for his family. It's been years since he's left Westeros, but when talks of his aunt planning on taking the throne reach him and his guardian, he knows it's time to meet. Jaehaerys is ready for his duty, to marry his aunt and rule together in the Targaryen way. At least, that's the duty he's been told he has.

Thalina Stokeworth (Keira Knightley FC), Cleon Greyjoy & Jorvan Waters ship. The girlfriend of my boys from this plot bunny and this plot bunny, Thalina was raised as a lady in the Crownlands, a member of house Stokeworth, she knew what she was supposed to do. Find a suitable husband and make more children. That's why she left. That wasn't her, she wasn't some lady to push around. She found her way to the seas, no one wanted to take on a girl so she made sure to show them otherwise. And...still a lot didn't believe her, but Cleon Greyjoy, whether to humor himself or because he actually believed in her she doesn't know, took her on his crew. More built up over time, but she truly proved herself as a pirate and part of Cleon's ship, and then they pick up a bastard along the way, Jorvan, and she thinks he's very entertaining. They get closer, she doesn't know why Cleon is weird about it, but she doesn't care because she learns that the Mother of Dragons wants them to help her take Westeros, and she is all for supporting women in power.

MCU (there are more half baked ideas actually I just didn't wanna overwhelm myself by immediately going nuts so have a few to start)

Benjamin Parker (Jensen Ackles FC), Steve Rogers & Bucky Barnes ship. Born and bred New Yorker, Benjamin wasn't planning on becoming friends with Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes, but somehow that's exactly what happened. He was in the army with Bucky, though he did miss Steve since he couldn't join them, and then everything changed when Steve got injected with the secret super soldier serum. He wasn't the same scrawny Steve that always called him Benny, now he was the really strong Steve that still always called him Benny. He joins the Howling Commandos, supporting his friend all the way and even having a couple kids with a friend of his (closeted lesbian/closeted gay wannabe parents solidarity), then things changed again. Bucky died on one of their missions, and not too long after, Steve disappeared in the Arctic. America was without a hero, so with some of the serum they reworked, they needed a new Captain America, and Benjamin was somehow perfect for the job. He did that for a few years, going on tours around America and only able to see his sons Ben and Richard occasionally, and...he had enough. He had seen enough in war, he didn't want to be some propaganda machine for the government, so, he froze himself. That should have been the end, yet SHIELD found him, and now he's found himself unfrozen in the 21st Century.

Caleb Barnes (Dylan Sprayberry FC), Peter Parker ship. When you have a perfected brainwashed and freezing technique, a fantastic specimen for it, you don't want to give up those perfect genetics. At least, that's how HYDRA saw it when they allowed the Winter Soldier to have a child, and for that child to have a child. Caleb Barnes was the grandson of James Buchanan Barnes, HYDRA's favorite weapon. They wanted more, they wanted another, a weapon and a future all rolled into one to ensure that HYDRA's mission won't die out with a new generation, even planning on making him the next leader of HYDRA if his training went well. He never spoke to the Winter Soldier, never met him, since the higher ups were worried it would make too much of "Bucky" return, but he was good at his training. Caleb knew how to fight, he knew how to be charismatic and get attention, and...he apparently didn't know how to not get caught, since he was captured by Nick Fury. His programming starts being taken down little by little when he meets Steve Rogers, when Steve realizes who he is, and he eventually gets taken in by him and allowed to be a normal kid. He starts at Midtown, he befriends boys named Peter and Ned, and aside from the fact that when he's home the guy he calls dad (to himself, he hasn't done it in person yet) is Captain America, he's avoided the hero business entirely. But then the Winter Soldier is identified, then stupid Tony Stark offers an "internship" to Peter, and that life is right back in his face.

Emerson Ives (Dove Cameron FC), Tara Vaughn ship. Emerson is a born and bred New Yorker. She’s seen all the news coverage with the heroes of their city and did have to help her mother get a new car after it was destroyed, but that was just life now. Usually, she just focused on her friends, of which she was usually considered the leader, especially since it was her idea to join the academic team at their school. She’s very chill and is decently friendly with MJ, but after the elevator incident she was the most freaked out amongst the girls so she's very glad when they start taking defense classes together. When she comes in contact with and is changed by the power stone, she does feel a lot more confident in herself, until she's blipped.

Davina Gutierrez (Sofia Carson FC), Peter Parker (& maybe MJ) ship. Davina was the last one to join her friend group in middle school, a new girl from Chicago who just was looking for people to hang out with. And she's very glad she found Emerson and Tara and Sloane, the girls all had their different interests but they were all together on the academic team and she loved seeing them. It was her idea after the elevator incident to take self defense classes and just feel better about themselves with how scary it was, since her mother was always pro-self defense anyways. She's very friendly at school and with the academic team, even if Flash tries to flirt with her a lot since they also both like sports. She also had the best grip on their newfound powers out of the group after she gets in contact with/changed by the space stone. She also unfortunately gets blipped.

Tara Vaughn (China Anne McClain FC), Emerson Ives ship. Sloane’s oldest friend and the one that started bringing the group together after she met Emerson and then also Davina. She's very interested in technology and also has a lot of theories for the universe and whatnot, along with having her own plans for inventions. Tara also is decent friends with Liz though she prefers her group of friends, though after the elevator incident reaches out to her a little more. When the girls were changed by the infinity stones, she has some trouble with her abilities from the time stone but was also very excited by them. She also gets blipped.

Sloane Tuttle (Sarah Jeffery FC), Kate Bishop ship. The shyest of the group and Tara’s oldest friend. She used to have a crush on Peter but grew out of that when she realized she just liked that he was a boy that was nice to her as opposed to a lot not being that nice in elementary school. Sloane is still well known throughout the school for her kindness and her skills on the academic team, having both many right answers and always having a kind word for others, and she was possibly the least scared during the elevator incident. Struggled a lot with her new powers when she comes in contact with and gets changed by the reality stone. She doesn’t get blipped, and losing her friends also starts to make her lose herself.

Gilmore Girls

Callum Danes (Jack Wolfe FC), Logan Huntzberger ship. Luke and Rachel’s son, he's always lived with his father in Stars Hollow, and he truly loves this town. He's really close with Rory and Lorelei, and since his contact with his mother is mostly through phone calls and letters, he does see Lorelai as a bit of a motherly figure, especially when he gets an academic scholarship to Chilton and Luke usually can't deal with the parent aspects so Lorelai comes for him as well as Rory. Chilton is also where he has a short term relationship with Tristan Dugray. Callum also gets into Yale, though unlike Rory it was always his dream, and through Rory he meets Logan. He is very autistic, and when Jess comes to live with them he gets very attached very quickly.

Percy Jackson

Everett Chase (Jack Wolfe FC), Nico di Angelo ship. Son of Athena and Annabeth older brother. While even at a young age Annabeth and their stepmother didn't get along, their stepmother liked Everett a lot. She always wanted a son, always saying he was easier to handle than Annabeth even though they had the same issues, which just started the disconnect between the siblings at a young age. Even when Annabeth ran away, Everett stayed. He went to mortal schools, he was in jazz band and key club and played football for a bit, just a regular golden boy. But danger was still coming, and eventually he came to camp, excited to see Annabeth again, and instantly had a crush on Luke. And even shortly after his arrival, he got to go on Luke's quest, getting recognition from Athena along the way, which all didn't help his relationship with Annabeth. But he thinks he can be okay with it, as he slowly gets closer to Luke.

Mamma Mia

Nicholas Carmichael (Jack Wolfe FC), OC ship (but tbd on details, probably Kit Young FC). Sam’s younger son, he always knew there was something off with his parents. The divorce was a long time coming, and after he was finally old enough to get the story from his dad. The story of Kalokairi and Donna Sheridan, the one who got away. So when he's home for break from school and sees an invitation to a wedding, Nicholas has to go. Mainly because based on how his dad majorly messed up, he is lowkey almost worried that Donna will try to kill him, which he wouldn't even blame her for. Gets along with Sophie very very well as he’s also a little insane and sneaky like her, and the island lifestyle is very different than what he's used to but he's not mad at it.

Knives Out

Cornelius Stewart (Jack Wolfe FC), Benoit Blanc & Phillip Blanc ship. Cornelius has always been intrigued by mysteries and crimes, his youth was spent pouring over Nancy Drew novels and watching Unsolved Mysteries. Which is why he chose to study criminology in college, and he got the extra special honor of assisting famed detective Benoit Blanc. But all good things must end, as he graduated and moved to work on his own, which is where he meets Ransom Thromsby. Their relationship is a whirlwind, with Ransom charming his way through most of their arguments, honestly if it weren't for the fact that Cornelius loves his granddad, he doesn't know if him and Ransom would really still be together. But he was at the birthday, he stayed a little longer after Ransom left, but was still gone before the tragedy took place. Then before the will reading, he's faced back with Benoit Blanc, which makes him wonder what's really going on.

Doctor Who

Augustus Canfield (Jack Wolfe FC), Jack Harkness & Ianto Jones ship. When Augustus went to the hospital for surgery, the last thing he was expecting during his recovery was to end up on the moon. But strange enough, that's exactly what happened. He tried to help who he could, which is how he officially met the med student he spoke to earlier that day and a strange man who calls himself a Doctor. The experience made Augustus realize he didn't want to die having done nothing with his life, that anything could happen, so he joined Martha Jones and the Doctor. Unfortunately for the two companions, he also was falling for the Time Lord, and was met with just as much nothingness as Martha. So when he meets Captain Jack Harkness, he starts to fall for him. Even throughout the worst year of his life that just gets erased like nothing happened, he realizes his travels with The Doctor may be at an end for now. Instead, he gets dropped off in Cardiff with Jack, to join Torchwood.

Fitz Carden (Jonathan Bailey), Owen Harper ship with a dash of complicated Jack Harkness. An immortal man who has a lot of fun being immortal. He takes the good over the bad and tries to have fun in every century he finds himself in, the pain of losing people does hit but he tries to focus on the better parts of his long life so he doesn't fall into despair. Once had a fling with the Doctor. For many centuries has had an on and off relationship with Jack Harkness that has gone from highs of marriage to lows of estranged exes and decides to come to Torchwood when he learned he was there, which is when he meets the team and ends up unexpectedly close with Owen.

Hanley Yule (Brenton Thwaites), Rose Tyler ship (maybe & The Doctor). A uni dropout that loves science and space but was too broke and ADHD fueled to stay in school. Now he volunteers at the planetarium and works in a coffee shop where he often sees his former classmate Rose Tyler. Who he has been in love with for a long time but she has only ever seen him as an occasional friend at best since she’s been with Mickey and has usually found his space interest a little too sci-fi. But when she meets the Doctor, when she sees the world, when she helps save Hanley from aliens, she decides he has to come see for himself.

Karine Fourier (Amanda Seyfried), Clara Oswald & Jack Harkness ship. Karine has been a member of Torchwood for years, just after Owen when she picked Owen’s pocket at a club and found some alien artifact. Once she figured out what it did that alerted Torchwood to her, where she fought for a job partly so she can just have money. And only got accepted because she was skillful enough to pick Owen's pocket and figure out the alien tech. Becomes good friends with Owen and Ianto, and when Clara joins the team she is instantly attracted to her despite her flirtationship with Jack.

Thaddeus Cooper (Kit Harington), Martha Jones ship. Gwen’s older brother, he joined Torchwood around the same time as Tosh. An alien was attacking someone and he stepped in to fight it even if he didn’t have anything but his fists, which intrigued Jack a lot when Torchwood arrived on the scene. He joined Torchwood, and as things got dangerous he made the hard decision to disappear from his family for their safety since he couldn’t share his job. He got along well with the team, but when his youngest sister, Cora, finds him he makes her not tell Gwen, but then Gwen shows up and now his worlds are truly combining.

Coraline Cooper (Kacey Rohl), Probably Jack Harkness ship. Gwen and Thad’s younger sister and after her brother went missing, she couldn’t let it go. It didn’t make sense for him to just disappear, he wouldn’t just leave her for no reason and no one official seemed to want to investigate it. Even Gwen, working for the police Gwen, said she was hitting dead ends and that maybe Thad just wanted to go. He used to talk about exploring when they were young, maybe that’s just what he did. But she couldn’t shake it, so she looked into it herself. Using her reporter access to find anything she could, and then she managed to find him. In Cardiff, the whole time. As part of some secret group called Torchwood, one that she ends up joining as well with the agreement to not tell Gwen. Until Gwen found Torchwood.

Elise Oswald (Olivia Cooke), TBD but maybe The Doctor ship. Clara’s sister thought she was incredible. While she may have seemed ordinary to others, Elise always thought she was extraordinary. They were peas in a pod, never one without the other, which is why when Clara meets a man called the Doctor, when she’s almost gone forever, Elise was the first one that heard. So the next day, when the Doctor returned, Elise was there with her. She may not be impossible, but she was ready to prove that in her own way she was also anything but ordinary.

Milo Harkness (Gregg Sulkin), Rhedyn Maddock ship. The son of a fixed point in time and a rogue time agent. He was something new. He was something special. He was…an intern for his dad’s secret team. Jack didn’t want his son part of Torchwood, but Milo refused to just go pretend he was normal. So, Torchwood intern it was. Mostly he just hung back with Ianto and handled drinks or filing, it was boring but it was something. That and enjoying hearing the team try to figure out how he’s Jack’s son when they think he isn’t around to hear. His whole life he’s been waiting for more chances to actually help people, so when his dad lets Gwen Cooper onto the team, he’s taking his chance now. Rhedyn Maddock ship

Rhedyn Maddock (Brianne Howey), Milo Harkness ship. Rhedyn was young when she moved to London, everything seemed brighter there. Except as she got older, it seemed like everywhere she looked had aliens, aliens, and more aliens. Shopping? Aliens. Christmas? Aliens. It was exhausting. And while sometimes the news spoke of events elsewhere, it mostly seemed centralized there. So when she got a little secretary job that paid well, she decided to move back to her childhood home of Cardiff. Her first day at work was supposed to be easy, sure she didn’t know much about whatever Torchwood was, but it should be fine. Then a whole war breaks out with metal robot creatures that used to be employees and random flying robots, safe to say she quit. Normal jobs for her now thank you. Normal jobs, normal people, normal everything. Although she did find the jarring switch of most people in London acknowledging aliens to people in Cardiff swearing they weren’t real odd, whatever, doesn’t bother her.

Talking about pokemon with my friend and hopped on the bandwagon to create a Pokeverse for Galleth and Thaddeus. The guy on the far right is Robyn, OC from Galleth’s timeline!

Cooper Clan! >:3

I tried to do the ancestors with different colors and patters, because I really love that in Thieves in Times every of them was different and not just bland gray copies of Sly.

I have the headcanon that most of them are hybrids between raccoons and other animals and different breed of raccoons. Only Thaddeus is a full grey raccoon.

I love Thad so much. I will say some of this is skewed by me watching Torchwood so long after it was over so, I'm not entirely sure how the fandom operates exactly

What do you think the fandom for your character would be like? Are they a fan favorite, a love to hate villain, derided for whatever reason, or something else?

I think he's a complicated one. Thad would have shooters but it would still wildly depend on what you're into Torchwood for. If they're a huge Gwen Cooper fan, I don't see you necessarily loving Thad. But I think Thad die hards would be die hards.

What feelings does your character most often instill in their fans? Affection? A desire to protect? Open lust? A love/hate dynamic? Why do you think their fans feel this way?

Love/hate. Thad is complicated and thinks he's doing what's right but he's also sooooo socially awkward and sometimes a hypocrite and overly protective

By contrast, what would their haters dislike about your character? Is it a petty complaint? A mischaracterization of the character or their intentions? Are they just a woman in a largely male-centric series?

Depends on why they hate him. If they're a Gwen Cooper stan first and foremost they hate his hypocrisy and how much he's kept from her. If they're just a general disliker they may dislike his social ineptitude and his moodiness. Or Martha fans that just don't like them together.

What controversies/drama would your character incite in fandom?

I don't know if he personally would incite many? Just add to the Gwen Cooper vs trying to be normal vs being in Torchwood debate

What fan-material would exist for your character in fandom?

I can def see a few fics! Maybe some character studies, couple tiktok edits maybe

Is your character the subject of ‘imagines’ or ‘x reader’ style blogs?

Maaaaybe? Not a popular choice though

Are there any tropes fandom would put upon your character, for better or for worse?

The Stoic. Or awkward nerd

What would be the ‘incorrect but wildly popular’ interpretation of your character in fandom?

I can see "Thad never cared about his sisters" being a popular interpretation

What corners of fandom would consider your character blorbo material?

Any corner that loves awkward guys who focus on their jobs too much

Hell yeah
