#that's a thing

[radiance1]

Vlad has been asleep for a few centuries now, in a goddamn coffin that he specifically made just for that like the weird rich person he is. He was also, the phoenix king.

Or at the very least, one of them.

Honestly, Danny couldn't give less of a flying cheerio how long Vlad would sleep for if it wasn't an inconvenience to it.

But it was.

You see, he's the ghost prince, prince of the infinity realms, dragon of infinity, son of war and ward of time, etc, etc.

And somehow, he has bloody paperwork.

Even though the Infinite Realms fell into Anarchy eons ago.

So he honestly doesn't know why he has paperwork, and it's so much that Danny has been spending centuries doing it and he's so tired of it and then he remembered, hey? Who likes can do mountains of paperwork without breaking a sweat and could finish this way better than Danny could?

Vlad Masters.

Hasn't seen the guy after his mother died, don't know where exactly he is, but he isn't in his lair (yes Danny managed to get in, don't ask how) and Danny is going to find this man by the Ancients because he cannot deal with those anymore.

He barely even made a dent!

Anyways, so Danny goes over to Earth because he hasn't been there for a hot minute, and that's probably where Vlad is and uh, woah there is this really Earth cause it's lookin mighty different to how he saw it last time-

Why was the Earth currently covered in flames? Black flames that look mighty familiar to someone else's that he knows actually. You know, someone who should have been sleeping the centuries away instead of, oh he doesn't know.

Taking over the mortal world?

It even seems that Vlad got himself a goddamn cult too! How neat! How much time did it take you to assemble all these people Vlad? You even gave out pieces of your power when you could've been, oh, he doesn't know.

Helping him with paperwork?

So, he's kinda mad about this, pissed, actually. So, he goes to find where exactly Vlad is in this reign of madness, finds a literal crack in reality and just heads on through because he couldn't care less about that actually.

What he finds is not what he expected.

Cause you know Vlad? Phoenix king who is probably trying to take over the mortal world instead of helping him with paperwork and was supposed to be sleeping inside a coffin?

Yea scratch that. Because that isn't a coffin.

When the hell was Vlad sleeping inside a magical barrier-

And who the heck was that spamming Vlad's signature black flames while laughing manically, and who in the infinite realms were those guys who were currently fighting said spammer.

"What exactly, in the Infinite Realms, happened while I was doing paperwork?"

===

So, the Justice League is now combating a new world ending threat. Some cult who wants to cleanse the world in the name of their deity so they could hand it to him once he reawakens.

Which, apparently, might've been around for centuries, slowly preparing for this day which, dedicated, but not the good kind of dedication really.

So, back to the fight, they're fighting this possible immortal who's been taking over the bodies of each new head of the cult for centuries and, well, he genuinely had power to back him and his cult up.

Not really a shock there, to be fair, since he claimed his powers to originate from the sleeping deity who blessed him with a portion of his power.

Vlad didn't, bro just stole a portion of his power and claimed it as a blessing lawl. Not that the cult knew that-

So the Justice League managed to break their way into the place holding said sleeping deity that also acted as the base for the cult leader and, well. Yea he truly does have the power to back himself up and, if the magic users had anything to say about, a very magically powerful deity he follows too.

So they're kinda screwed if said Deity wakes up, they don't even know when he will actually, neither did the cult leader. He just will 'eventually' which isn't as descriptive as some (read: Batman) would like.

First things first, beat up and disband the cult, figure out a way to prevent the sleeping deity's awakening later.

So they were fighting a battle (shocker I know) with their forces spread between their world and the pocket dimension and things weren't looking quite as good as they hoped. Lots of causalities, both civilians, heroes and even villains alike, a whole lot of magic and powers being thrown about and the monologuing of the cult leader who was floating above said sleeping god.

You could even think it to be symbolic in some way, that he thinks himself above a god.

So, safe to say, in all of this chaos they weren't exactly expecting a new voice to join the fray.

"What exactly, in the Infinite Realms, happened while I was doing paperwork?"

And the owner of said voice, to be a goddamn dragon.

Daily excerpt from Underline the Black 67:

‘Going forward,’ Temsen said, ‘I think you need to find more ways to communicate with each other. Additionally, it would be nice if you would stop verbally abusing him in the heat of the moment, and at any other times you’re doing it. I know that was the best you could manage, because I saw you earlier, and I know full well you could have torn a person limb from limb while snarling like a bear about it. But…calling him pathetic? Worthless? Heroic moment for you, Gary.’ Gary was surprised Efnisien had shared that, then he remembered Temsen could be a ruthless interrogator when he wanted, omegas, betas, alphas – it didn’t matter, he’d crucify them all to get information. ‘He already believes he is those things,’ Temsen said. ‘At the least, you owe him an apology too.’ ‘I know,’ Gary said, closing his eyes. ‘I know.’

Do you think any of the squad would have any kids? If so, how many?

alr here we goooo

tydii: obviously they canonically have lae in the Bad Universe, and they probably have her in the good universe too. I have a Lot of opinions about Saedii and her relationships with her parents, but i'll spare y'all (unles you really want to hear it 👀 then hmu) i hc syldrathi culture as focusing really intensely on the nuclear family (no big family reunions or whatever) so she really just starts fixating on Lae, and on Lae having the best possible most supportive childhood, to the point where she and Tyler don't even really think about having another kid until Lae's in her twenties. i go back and forth on whether or not they do - i think it all depends on Lae's relationship with her parents as an adult, but they probably have a son when she's like 19, and he's endlessly babied by the rest of the squadfam. like all things, though, tydii attacks parenting like the powerhouse they are. they probably have spreadsheets for everything. fuckin nerds.

aurikal: they have like three ish children. we see in the books that Kal idolizes his mother, and we know Auri had a little sister. Ergo: aurikal parents. i forget who i'm stealing this from (I think it's @saedii-gilwraeth-simp? but I can't find the post) but they totally name one kid Evaa-Callie. my addition: when she's like three weeks old it becomes increasingly evident that it is in fact Incredibly Awkward to name your kid after a dead planet, so they wind up shortening it to Evalie. she TOTALLY becomes a musician (kinda like AURORA in our world? she probably just goes by EVALIE). aurikal probably adopts a kid too - maybe the kid of someone Kal knows? anyway hes either an author or a scientist, in general he does nerdy things. there's also that one daughter who winds up becoming an expert handler for a species of syldrathi mammals used historically in battle but nowadays as guard dogs or service animals. she really bonds with her baby girl, named Seredii, which literally just means "Muscles", this is like naming a pitbull "Brutus", this is the Most Stereotypical name ever, her siblings tease her Endlessly.

finlett: i feel like they don't have kids? they're too busy being awesome and they both have issues with the parenting they got growing up, so there might be a lil insecurity there as well? anyway they turn into the Number One fun aunt and uncle and they spoil the tydii and aurikal kids endlessly.

zinari: Zila can't find Magellan's actual code, protected by layers and layers of encryption, so she has to make him again from scratch. (She realizes at the end of the process that the was to stop herself from making a time paradox - if Zila copied it, where did she get it from? she encrypts the code she writes so tightly she knows no one, not even Fin, could decrypt it.) This takes Many Many iterations of prototype AI's with VERY distinct personalities. Nari feels bad for the programs to be stuck in the cloud and puts them into robots, and Zila sees no issue with this. End result: they have 15-20 robot pseudo-children Magellan prototypes, all named after different explorers. (unpopular opinion but idk if zila would be a good parent but nari deserves kids so here is the solution)

DAMN i had no idea that would get this long ! hmu for elaboration on any part of this 🙏

And while there is an element of like- yes someone caught out of time and the unique tragedy of everything being so slightly different. Its tiring in a way that’s hard to describe, where the food isn’t bad but it’s different than what’s familiar. It’s just. Far too easy for me to look at her and see myself in some of her things. -☁️ (sorry, I sent the other one a bit soon)

Same! I can't wait for their hangouts both it's gonna be insane!

(Also yeah, the inherent tragedy in your safe food being out of fashion for 50 or so years, must've been hell)

#textpost #inquiries to a pizza #I'm mostly worried about the time thing not because it doesn't make sense for her to be autistic since it still dies make sense #but because of the people who invalidate autistic hcs with the dumbest excuses like #'oh but alhaitham can't have autism because he didn't have a delay in speech as a child' like autism isn't a spectrum #and like he doesn't show the other side of the SPECTRUM #so yeah #that's a thing #also yeah faruzan insanely relatable fr fr can't wait to her being Kaveh's mother figure #and traveler's grandma #please faruzan hand us sweets in the habgout it'd be hilarious #faruzan #autism impact

It's always really telling to see the kind of stories that RWBY "critics" write themselves.

Especially when every single one of their stories revolves around treating girls like they're selfish bitches who are completely incapable of cooperation, relishing in graphic violence against women, and being the kind of person who insists RWBY is "ableist" and then writes a story where disability is a punishment for the antagonists.

#and don't forget blatantly ripping off rwby itself #that's a thing #i would have many nickels for “critics” doing that~ #rwby critics

So I watched the new show on Netflix, 1899, and I absolutely *loved* it.

But I'm so frustrated we didn't get the whole backstory of three of my fav characters, Olek, Ramiro and Angel, and can't help but try to assemble the pieces we were given to figure them out.

Especially Angel, cause we got just enough to get me invested. Anyway this is just going to be me explaining what I think his backstory is (And Ramiro's at the same time kinda) except I suck at explaining my thoughts.

Spoiler and TW for r*pe and pedophilia under the cut.

So I'll start with the scene that got me interested to start with, the one when everybody is jumping off the ship.

During this Angel was having what I can only describe as a whole dissociative episode in his room, and if he didn't give me major childhood trauma vibes before (he did) then he definitely did at that point.

The thing that makes me think of childhood trauma and not just trauma is what he's singing, a children folk song, and for me the choice to make him sing this and not something else could be important.

And he's not having that episode because of people jumping but because of the sound, since the episode stopped when the sound did. Now I don't know why the ticking sound is what triggered him, the only idea I have is that it might be linked to the church bells but ehh.

So I really think that Angel was raped as a kid (by the priest Ramiro killed maybe ? That's an easy and common trope so it's likely in my opinion, also Angel got a shit ton of religious imagery around him, starting with his name). And I think that Angel reacted to that trauma with hypersexuality like some victims do.

It's mentioned that Ramiro was a servant, so I'm thinking either a servant of Angel's family or the church. Either way he most likely met Angel through it, knew about what happened (was still happening?) And killed the priest with Angel. (It would make sense to me if that was the reason they did that cause Ramiro doesn't seem at all like the type to kill someone for no reason) 

I don't know what to make of the scars on Angel's back tho, they look like whip scars so either his parents or the priest again.
