Day 30: Make a Halloween DLC Design!
Debated between Grimm-Vanny, Frankenstein Monster-Vanny, or Phantom-Vanny, but eventually landed on the last one!
Thought it'd be fitting since she's so elusive and mysterious, with that weird effect showing up anytime she's around, + only Gregory can see her (and the glamrocks but yknow what I mean)

The submas brainworm is only getting stronger, so I have drafted a whole-ass comic for a new AU idea! One where Chandelure gets to take center stage and become the main character she was always meant to be~
The gist of the AU is that Chandelure has a ghostly soul-bond with Ingo, which essentially means that his soul is under her protection and he sorta registers as a ghost to other pokemon. Basically protects him from other ghosts trying to put their sticky paws on her trainer and also gives the two of them a bit of an empathetic connection. Not quite telepathy, but able to transmit complex feelings and lets them check how badly they're hurt.
Naturally, this means that when Giratina (who was honestly just trying to play around. They were given the tedious task of just opening rifts and looking through all those peep holes made them curious. So when they saw a soul that had a beautiful ghost bond, they became fascinated) snags Ingo and drags him through, Chandelure immediately feels when Giratina's power accidentally tries to overwhelm Ingo's soul and she absolutely loses her shit. Through psychically screaming and using her protective aura to try and bash Giratina, the distortion god acts like a dog that's done something they shouldn't and tries to hide the evidence of their messing around (Ingo getting fucked up via soul and getting not too gently dropped off a mountain).
I have more ideas, especially relating to how Emmet is taking his brother's ace losing her mind and how her actions affect the investigation, but if I keep going down these tracks I'm going to end up with another 90k WIP fic like i did with Naruto. (Though if people wanna see the AU written out...👀... I could absolutely be convinced. I'm very weak...)

There are only so many fanfics that use the entirety of DC as cardboard cutouts to prop up bat family characters that I can read before I go berserk.
I swear to god. Every character that has ever been shipped with a bat or coexists on the same team as a bat is owed an apology.
How many Young Justice fanfics that solely revolve around Tim must exist? How many Titans fanfics centered only on Dick? Why is it a herculean task to find a Justice League fanfic without Bruce as the main character?
And then even when you do find a fic that seems like it's balanced, everything still revolves around the bat. Like Kon, Cassie and Bart have nothing else going on in their lives except Tim and Tim's issues or thinking about Tim. Like Donna and Wally and Roy just cannot function if they aren't spending every waking moment thinking about Dick.
I'm... Guys. I'm at my limit. I swear to god. We need to make a Batman tag and surgically remove all these fics and quarantine them there. We'll keep the actual DC fics and they can do whatever the fuck they want in their own tag. It's getting ridiculous how hard it is to find fanfic that's actually DC related and isn't just 'The BatFam Show'.

I would also LOVE your headcanons about what Curt did in his "grieving period" (four years! Cynthia definitely knew what he and Owen Were) and do you think it was mostly drinking at his Mom's house.
Honestly I think he tried to deal with it alone at first. It just went horribly wrong. He asked for his leave, went home, then spiraled real hard.
He probably already had a drinking problem, (although this was the 50s, they defined "drinking problem" differently than we do now) but it really got out of hand around that time. I think he spent a few months in a cycle of misery, staying in bed all day, completely neglecting himself and his needs, drinking, crying, feeling horrible etc.
And then one day he just started seeing Owen. Weird flashbacks and hallucinations started happening and he felt like he truly lost it. I think that's the closest he got to wishing he was dead too.
But his stubbornness this time around was actually a good thing. He couldn't accept that his grip on reality was slipping or that this was how the rest of his life (however short) was going to be like.
I think that's when he went to his mother for help. He needed someone around, to not be completely alone and isolated, to gain back some structure in his days and to stop drinking every day. Mrs. Mega of course welcomed him home and did everything she could to make things better in her own overbearing and invasive way.
Curt started feeling a bit better, good enough to at least take care of himself again. The depression was still going strong, he still drank and he still saw Owen here and there, but at least he didn't actively want to blow his own brains out. He moved home, and tried to reclaim his life a little.
This is probably where his other coping mechanism started: drinking buddies! He's a pretty flirty guy, and seems like the kind of person to have a lot of casual sex, which is not a bad thing, but he uses it as coping with how much he hates himself deep down. And he's never hated himself as much as he did after Owen's fall. It was to at least somewhat convince himself he can move on and that Owen wasn't the last guy ever. Not that it worked, at all.
He was probably a bigger jerk around this time than ever. Finally able to face the reality of his actions but not ready to accept them yet. Taking care of himself again but not wanting reminders of the guy he once was. He probably started growing that beard around here, which I assume must've really lowered his chances with men.
He kept this going for years, until he couldn't anymore. As much as he missed Owen and felt guilty, he missed spying too. His #1 love has always been adrenaline, and sitting on his ass, sulking 24/7 was starting to really take its toll. He convinced himself Owen would want him back in the field, which is either really dumb or downright delusional of him, but it's okay because I love him.
Aaand this is where the show starts.
So yeah that's it 👍
