Monster (or not?)

It was a normal day for the Justice League, nothing special had happened, but Batman seemed to have a bad feeling. So when the alarm went off, he was prepared for almost anything.

Unfortunately, not much can prepare you for a 10-foot ice-covered, invincible Eldritch in the middle of Gotham. As much as the League tried, they didn't seem to do any damage to it (Jason was the first to notice that the creature wasn't attacking, just defending itself; he frowned at the observation).

From there, many strange things began to happen. First: A group of people dressed in white (which, frankly, they had never seen before in their lives) fanned out around the League, giving them weapons capable of harming the "creature" and pointing out to them that it was a "ghost", giving information about it.

Second, a pair of colorful scientists stood at the center of all the agents in white, though they seemed to be arguing with each other. One looked murderous, while the other looked... tired, almost guilty.

Third and last, a group of students kept trying to get closer. Jason thought they were suicidal until he heard the girl in purple tell them to leave "Danny" alone. She seemed to be silenced quickly, but the detail stuck in his head.

With a bad feeling, Jason turned to the college kids. A red-haired girl stood in the center of them, holding a chunk of ice? and watching the creature at the center of it all. While the League dealt with the agents in white, Jason decided to listen to them.

"He's my brother," the redhead said as soon as she saw him, "he's not a monster, they broke his core, please, you need to understand"

Jason looked at the creature again, although its body was mostly black, he could see ice covering a crystal in the center, it looked broken, he suspected that was his "core". At the same moment, Bruce finished talking to the men in white and accepted the weapons.

Danny was frightened and panicked. His form changed when his core broke in the middle of a fight, the GIW had shot him, and he didn't know how to retreat to his original form. His words came out only in Ghost speak, and the heroes around him looked ready to kill him, which didn't help his ice control.

#dpxdc #Basically the GIW broke Danny's core #and that thrilled his ghost side #which transformed into an Eldritch as a defense mechanism #Jack feels guilty #Phantom is a ghost yes but he helped them a lot of times #it doesn't feel correct to hunt him #Jason released the situation was not what it seemed at first #dp x dc #dc x dp #Martian manhunter is confused #he feels the creature in panic #but Danny's toughs are on ghost speak too #The GIW is a secret goverment organization #they usually avoid the heroes #because they know the heroes could stop their operations #Amity is isolated from the rest of the world #so the heroes doesn't know what happens there #Sadly Danny's battle happened in Gotham #he was chasing Skulker who found another “halfa” #he defeated Skulker but his parents grabbed him off guard #Skulker was chasing Jason signal btw #His friends and sister found the piece of his core and released what happened #eldritch danny

POV: You’re a Witch-King of Angmar and a tall blonde has suggested you leave her uncle alone.

#LotR #Eowyn #sketch #You know how anytime you take any kind of helmet off the hair come out sort of tangled and sweaty? #I think of this a lot when I read scenes when people take off their helmets in a middle of a battle #I know I've cheated by having her shield obscure half of her face #But if you already have a shield why not raise it #Also a curious fact: #Operating a sword-and-shield combination requires way more physical strenght than a single two-handed weapon #my art #thunderboltfire's art

i love hearing pokemon speedrunners decribe how the combat, abilities, hidden power etc works because like as a former vgc player i already know this but also when it's said out loud it sounds fucking unhinged

them: so it looks at the least significant bit and does a formula based on if it's 0 or 1 and then assigns one of 16 values to that and and then it looks at the SECOND least significant and... me: i already know this but it's still stupid

the ethical implications of netnavis never fail to flatten me. like hi yes heres my new ai. its capable of thinking and feelings and forming emotional connections and falling in love and basically is just a digital human. you own them. also you can make them beat each other up for fun. they feel pain btw.

#mega man battle network #mmbn #like when you operate elecman.exe you find out that the oayment for work HE does it sent to anns account #because she owns him. #lan OWNS his brother. his dad literally brought his brother back as an ai that lan OWNS #if battle network wanted to aim for maximum realism there should have been SO many people arguing about this #entire forum boards dedicated to debating the ethicality of netnavis #also no i dont buy that hub is the only netnavi with ‘real’ emotions #like. come on #there is no difference between how megaman is written and the other navis are written imo

During the Battle of Najaf, U.S. Marine James Hassell, risked his life to carry his wounded buddy, Ryan Borgstrom, 60 yards through open gunfire. When the photographer captured the moment, Hassell simply said, "We're Marines. That's what we do." The Marines of Charlie Company 1st Battalion 4th Marine Regiment carried out a raid on the Najaf residence of Moqtada al-Sadr during the Battle of Najaf on August 12, 2004.

AU where Franka doesn't get approval for the transfer and instead has to cut and run to Rhodes Island alone. Liskarm just misses finding out and isn't able to follow. and then they reunite some years down the line for whatever reason, Franka happy at Rhodes Island but still a little lonely and Liskarm saying she's fine but being at Blacksteel for so long has made her colder and harsher and just plain miserable.

(it isn't all bad, she at least has Jessica and Vanilla, but they can't get under her skin the way Franka could. Liskarm swears that Franka would get under skin sometimes just to dig out the bad feelings.)

(and Franka has people. she's surrounded by people she cares about. operators cut from the same cloth as her, that will charge headlong into battle beside her. colleagues who will nag her about sleeping and eating and training and mission parameters. friends who will rag on her for her choice of reading material. but Liskarm was all of those things rolled into one. and she is not here)

#(for the purposes of this AU Vanilla and Jessica are with Liskarm at Blacksteel) #Liskarm's squad ending up on the landship for whatever reason #Liskarm seeing Franka out of the corner of her eye and just being knocked for six #their reunion would be an all out battle in an empty training room #other staff hearing about it and trying to intervene like ''what is this Blacksteel person doing to our beloved Franka'' #Franka and Liskarm kick the shit out of each other but aren't able to actually talk because too many people watching #Vanilla and Jessica ''oh this is normal. this is normal! it's been 3 years but it's totally normal! don't worry!'' #(it's really that trope of ''ex you still care about is doing good and you're miserable'' for Liskarm) #arknights tag #yeah I'll tag it #friskarm #if you ask me if this AU has a sad or happy ending. it has whatever ending you want #I do think Franka and Liskarm's relationship changed when they transferred to Rhodes Island together #because it was a silent admission that their partnership was no longer the result of circumstance #'we've been put together' to 'we're choosing to stick together' #so to lose that aspect of their relationship would be... interesting #also Franka has to slow down for Liskarm. Liskarm is /meant/ to curb Franka's reckless behaviour #so I like the idea that Franka at RI alone is even more reckless because she's not being properly challenged #she gels too well with some operators and it's so easy that it's terrifying #in the sense that combat becomes tunnel vision. which is not a good thing #I wrote more in the tags than the actual post..... this is normal for me
