Project: Save Humanity

or something like that

It's no surprise that the Ancients get bored. They are immortal and have all the time in the world to complain about it, sadly Danny joined them after he was crowned.

Their monthly meetings are divided into three topics: Taunting the Observants (Clockwork's favorite topic after they were demoted to helpers, assistants, and other menial jobs), talking about the safety of the Realms (quite peaceful if just as chaotic), and argue.

They- really had nothing to do, and their hobbies eventually bored them. So Danny had a brilliant idea (read: he saw it on a TV show) and decided that they should all become mentors and save one of the dimensions.

Clockwork was about to say that was not a good idea, since it was the same as throwing giants into a world of ants but he needed some fun so he kept quiet. He showed them the dimension of DC and how it was continually being destroyed, the King told them to start their project in that place and select someone.

Clockwork selected Flash because he felt vengeful, Nocturne selected Tim Drake for the same reason, and so they went; each one of the Ancients selecting a "champion" they were going to teach. Although their selection reasons were quite absurd (being that they were selecting their opposite poles or just someone interesting).

Danny being a spirit of protection, selected Jason Todd and secretly Billy Batson, because he was the king and could break the rules (Clockwork rolled his eyes at the comment). The question now was, how did they appear to them and avoid the world's myriad routes of destruction?

Well at least they weren't bored anymore

#dpxdc #ghost king danny #The Ancients got bored #they have nothing to do #so they decided to teach someone #and save the DC dimension #or something among those lines #They actually don't care about the dimension #just want some fun #Flash new mentor is the devil in disguise or have a grudge with him #Tim is not sure why a monster is appearing in his dreams and scolding him about healthy sleeping habits #Jason and Billy met each other in really weird circumstances that included a boy with a big smile and a crown #Superman is pretty sure he is hallucinating #dp x dc #dc x dp #At some point the Ancients will compete between each other #They are really competitive #Constantine wants to retire #Of course he felt all the goods jumping into earth but why are they in earth on first place #They probably forgot their objective of saving humanity along the way #Their champions are really confused and suspicious btw

Poor little meow meow, my lonely puppy, babygirl

The fuck are you talking about, they are grown ass men. *sees Raphael from Baldur's Gate 3*

Oh god. Silly devil. You are my little blorbo now. Pathetic, absolutely pathetic. "Archdevil Supreme" of course you are. Your poetry is horrible, tell me more.

Loopholes

I saw the tags in @changeling-fae 's reblog, so...

"I swear" does not necessarily mean he put it in the contract. He might have, but we don't know. He gives us his word, not a magically bound contract for this. Though I personally think he will not break his word, considering that Korilla says he's always fair and honest, it still is something to be aware of.

"never use the crown..." doesn't mean he can't use his innate powers against mortals. Or his army. Or send other lackeys, like Korilla or Yurgir, against mortals. Or use ordinary weapons against mortals. It only refers to the crown's power specifically. And against puny mortals he hardly even needs the crown to snap them out of existence.

"to dominate a mortal" doesn't mean he can't use the crown to kill, maim, torture, teleport, displace, tickle, explode, humiliate, and-so-on a mortal, or conquer the material plane. Dominate is a very narrow, singular action to exclude.

In short, he literally only gives us his word, that he won't use one of his weapons to do one specific thing with mortals. He can still use the rest of his arsenal, to do whatever else he wishes.

It's such an obviously flimsy promise full of loopholes, I was very disappointed, that Tav wasn't able to point it out to him at least with an insight check.

And considering that he states during his post-credit scene, that he'll "come knocking at your door", I'd say he was very deliberate with his wording here, and doesn't intend to spare the material plane. But we'll probably never know for sure. He could just mean to take us out for dinner, after all. Right? RIGHT?

#raphael #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #loophole #contract #crown of karsus #I still sign the contract because I trust him because up until that point he has done nothing but help us #there is literally no reason to hate or not trust him beside “he's a devil” #which IS a reason I guess #but I don't judge a book by it's cover! #bg3 raphael #raphael the cambion #rds

I know I'm reaching an incredibly niche audience with posting drum corps content, but here's some of my favorite moments of this year's DCI shows. Also really liked Phantom (as usual lol, another year another season where I love Troopers, Crown, and Phantom), but I don't have a great recording of them.

Sadly most of these clips are weeks old (except Troop I managed to get their performance from Atlanta today 🤫) and these shows are even better now, so if any of these interest you, I suggest seeking out more recent recording and look out in a couple weeks for the Finals shows in Indy!

That one line from Episode 15(?) of ACOC that’s like

“Are you gonna teach me something?”

“I am going to tell you something. I’m not sure if there’s much time for teaching”

It goes SO HARD and I can’t even explain why but it’s genuinely one of my favorite D20 quotes Zac Oyama the man that you are.

#no but imagine someone saying ‘nah this isn’t teaching this is just telling’ #and then they proceed to literally explain the meaning of life and the true nature of god and the devil #I just want more people to talk about this line so I can finally understand why it keeps me up at night #truly it haunts me #lapin cadbury #zac oyama #a crown of candy #a crown of candy spoilers #dimension 20 #d20 #dropout #acoc #dimension 20 acoc

To whoever might read this. I need you to go listen to 'That Unwanted Animal' and 'The Rockrose and the Thistle' by The Amazing Devil and think of Kaori!Kenjaku and Jin. It's so Itadori family-coded it's unbelievable. The overall eeriness striking the uncanny valley effect. The miscommunication. One partner being oblivious to the other one's condition and ignoring the issue. The marriage coming apart at the seems. The stitches getting mentioned. The metaphor of possession standing for wrestling one's inner demons and mental illness. The feeling of being watched by some haunting unwanted presence that you cannot shake. Those songs have it all.

#hello kenjin nation this is my contribution #i guess i'm back at my 'everyone please listen to the amazing devil' agenda #but they're truly amazing!! #i mean it's in the name!! #also yep the unwanted animal is kenjaku #the rockrose is jin with his fanon pink hair #the thistle is kaori with stitches like a crown of thorns above her brow #and the thimble that's handed over to the narrator is baby yuuji bundled up in blankets #yes i'm a little bit out of my mind #jujutsu kaisen #jjk #kenjaku #kaori itadori #jin itadori #yuuji itadori #also the amazing devil's 'wanderlust' reads a lot like kenjaku i think

So uhh...

Anyone wanna talk about this?

#devil may cry #recreating your tormentors methods/philosophies and imitating them to project the total control they had over you is... certainly smth #mundus straight up affected vergil so thoroughly that even w those memories removed he copies the behaviors #thats probs why he made lady and trish into hosts. hes literally recreating his trauma from the seat of power #i wonder if trish understood that once she knew exactly who urizen was and thats part of why she was kind to V #but holy shit am i OBSESSED w this #also anyone notice how the qliphoth vines on his face go up into a crown? #hes such a drama king even when hes on demon life support lmaoooo

Keeping Promises

By Kabachi

I'm so honoured to have gotten the chance to illustrate Moon Supreme!Xiao Lanhua/Xiyun for Kabachi's LBFAD Minibang fic! Please read Keeping Promises, it's such a lovely, evocative exploration of Xiyun's grief after Dongfang Qingcang's fading.

In terms of the design of this piece, the brocade of Xiyun's robe is directly taken from a set of DFQC's robes, while the cut is an amalgamation of the cuts of his robe and her Cangyanhai dresses. The Xilan holy aura version (the green one, if you will) features a halo inspired by classical Chinese depictions of Guanyin/Avalokitesvara, the bodhisatva of mercy. The faintest text says 小兰花/Xiao Lanhua, the largest text says 息山神女/Xishan Shennü, and the largest two characters say 月主/Yuezhu/Moon Queen.

Many thanks to Haro for hosting this minibang, and congrats to everyone who participated! It's incredible to see all this community involvement. Happy minibang, all!
