🎉🎇HAPPY NEW YEAR!🎇🎉

Sure was a year...This is just me taking the end of year opportunity to post the various DC comics doodles that have been gathering dust in my files! Disclaimer that I'm a heathen who mostly reads batfam comics (and also a lot of. Sidekick-y stuff? Like YJ98) and these are all for fun! (Image #3 is a direct adaptation of this text post I made)

[DC] doodled these two a lot this week

#clam draws #dc #kon el #kontent #Conner kent #superboy #cassie sandsmark #wonder girl #this started bc I was thinking about how they have similar outfits and parallel journeys to like masculinity and femininity I think #and part of it is due to the differences in 2000s and 90s culture but also I think this is geoffs fault #like perhaps Cassie does get euphoria from presenting more femme but it’s written by men who just didn’t find her appealing before #and kon well he already lost the jacket and had designs changes before tt03 but there’s still a noticeable difference I think in the way #he presents himself demeanor wise after johns #and ofc johns meant none of this but I like a silly spider am crawling over it and just making my own narrative threads p #as in like oh they’re in a new stage in their life and they have to wrestle w their identities as one does #but like eventually find a new middle ground? #like yeah I can make a narrative #but if I haddd to choose what they’d do instead like if I were in charge of tt03 and told to make them fit 2000s culture I would have at lea #at least made them grunge or smth idk . #what am I even saying #dc clamics

In my Kung Jin ask post I completely forgot to mention about how much I love his mkx ending, and how I think I can use it to bring Kung Lao back in this AU. Is it illogical because I'm "skipping" the revenant part? Of course. Am I actually skipping it? mmh-hhm 👀

aaanyway, here's the bonus, idea by @rodion87g

timcassie is so compelling to me. they were not into each other even a little bit. it was such a messy coping mechanism fuelled entirely by grief. they were making out with each other because they were both substituting each other for kon. cassie was far more aware she was doing this than tim was. unironically, dating a girl here is one of the gayest things tim has done

#rimi talks #it is SO messy and its so fun. i don't think geoff even realized the implications but they sure are there when you read it #god... you know its BAD when modern comics have me missing tt03 of all Fucking comics #but like. todays ''tell don't show'' writers would N E V E R do something this interesting #tom taylor would be all. oh! tim we shouldn't kiss. i'm just substituting you for kon because i miss him and you were his best friend! #and then he'd have tim go oh wow cassie you're right i didn't realize that! my bad. all forgiven? yay!!! :) #GOD YOU KNOW ITS BAD OUT HERE WHEN I THINK *GEOFF* DID SOMETHING RIGHT. GOD. GOD #GEOFF MY MORTAL ENEMY GEOFF. grits teeth yeah geoffrey i have to give you this one............ #its just such a deliciously unhealthy coping mechanism. theyre a MESS. theyre using each other. theyre only able to go on bc of each other #its not a romance but it IS a codependency #bart isn't even dead yet when this happens. like. he's just off being the flash. #bart (extremely depressed bc he couldnt stop sbp and hold him in the speed force forever): :| ok #not his circus. not his monkeys. #well it is his monkeys even if he left the circus. but he's too depressed to deal with it #but its so fun. this relationship is haunted. there's a ghost in the middle. they both want to kiss him instead of each other. #tim #cassie #timcassie

One thing I find so interesting is how in book 19, Cassie’s reckoning comes at the realization she may have leaped after Jake said to back off. When she had permission, she didn’t feel responsibility.

I mean, that's Jake's whole dang role on the team, isn't it? As Marco puts it "No votes. Jake decides. Then if it goes bad, we can all blame him" (#25). As with every Marco line ever, he's both joking and... not. Throw in all the times he sarcastically calls Jake "Dad", as a way of calling out someone else for treating Jake like a dad, and it's clear Marco gets it.

That is the point of Jake. He gives the order, and thus neither Ax (who pulled the lever) nor Marco (who made the call) has the blood of 17,000 yeerks on their hands. It's only Jake's crime. Jake gave the order, and so not only can Cassie (in #50) and Rachel (in #47) blame him for David, but he can go ahead and blame himself (#41). Jake gave the order, and so Ax did not actually run from battle (#26). Jake gave the order, and so Marco did not actually let his mom die (#30).

He's their water-carrier, their scapegoat. He doesn't want to be, but someone has to do it.

#animorphs #jake berenson #tiger mommy #violence #like contrast how ax feels about his attempted mass murder in 46 (horribly guilty) vs. his actual one in 53 (just following orders) #marco's ''yeah. now what DAD?'' in response to cassie asking jake what to do in 25 is one of my obscure favorite lines ever #and okay i can't come up with a single instance of jake telling tobias to do shit and tobias actually doing it #but that's those two for you

Just the guy who’s such a guy

[2hoothoots]

It sounds like the Raz in your Villains AU would be more emotionally stunted than the proper FSAU Raz. I can imagine the Performer and Lover archetypes either didn't form to balance out the Agent archetype, or we have a Cassie situation. Maybe the Agent archetype usurped them and Raz ate his feelings.

It's not that I can't. I just find it more prudent to focus my energy elsewhere.

v!au Raz doesn't have any archetypes. he never really saw the need to develop any. what's a guy like him need a little doodle friend for? he's already a walking one-dimensional paper cutout

#future superstar agents au #villains au #also! look! first appearance of proto-agent and proto-performer #look at them they're so cute #they don't even exist in this timeline but aren't they sweet #but yeah. vau doesn't meet cassie and learn archetype projection #he probably gets taught it in the intern program a few years later #but never really clicks with the power #what do you need a tool for self-actualization for if you already know exactly who you want to be? #(he's got a few issues) #(ALSO tysm for all the other asks about this au. gonna try and get a few more responses done over the weekend) #fsau archetypes #BARELY but it counts and i want to be able to find this again

What yougotta understand is that when you're interacting with blogs from a fictional universe, such as the English Willy saga, ya DON'T GIVE THE GAME AWAY. Don't just TELL THEM all the plot. Don't tell them exactly what's happening!! Don't tell them the important names!! Send asks and such but actually think through, how would a normal person respond to all this? How would a normal Tumblrina respond? The answer is YOU PROBABLY WOULD NOT FIND FUCKING EVERYTHING OUT IMMEDIATELY. The answer would probably be memes and clowning on things! If you wanna allude to things that will happen in the plot, ALLUDE to them. If you know that someone's gonna burn to death, say you hope the stress doesn't cause them to burn out. Please, my Tumblrinas, learn the art of subtlety in writing. You are not the main character in fictional universe blogs. It's okay.

#cassie rambles #english willy #this post was prompted by me getting annoyed ppl in the comments of the english willy posts were just straight-up giving everything away #PEOPLE. LEARN THE ART OF ''WAITING'' AND ''SUBTLETY'' AND ''YOU'RE NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER HERE'' #like just straight up saying ''yeah that probably means elizabeth! that's probably a murderer's corpse in there!'' #girl these reveals take TIME #the reason the "lisbef'' thing and the ice cream thing work is because we know the plot to fnaf! we know what he's talking about! #we don't need it to be said explicitly! that's what show dont tell is! #and it sucks the wind out of the sails if you just say ''oh yeah that's a reference to elizabeth afton'' #it's like if the op brought up fires and someone immediately said ''oh fazbear frights is gonna burn down btw'' #like NO. THAT'S NOT WHAT GOOD WRITING IS. THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DO REFERENCES TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL. #the reason saying like ''aw i hope mike doesnt get cold in there i hope he brought smth to stay warm :('' works is because it isn't blatant #i mean if you know hte plot to fnaf 3 it is but if you don't it doesn't break immersion by just telling us the plot #all of this is said lightheartedly #anyway. #LIKE NO YOU IDIOTS!!!! DON'T JUST BRING OUT CIRCUS BABY BLATANTLY!!!!!!!!!!!! #YOU'RE TRYING TO RUSH THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!! LET IT BUILD UP AND THE PAYOFF WILL BE BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #STOP TRYING TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE A SIDE HARACTER HERE ADN THAT IS OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[givemewallywestorgivemedeath]

K, you know what? I'm gonna say it. I think this new Julian character should date Bart. I don't typically have preferences when it comes to shipping (and tbh if Bart got another love interest I'd be for it too) but I think DC should confirm Bart as Queer and that's sure as fuck not happening without a love interest (unless they pull a Hawke which I would love but unfortunately life isn't that nice to me)

DC isn't gonna fuck with other 'families' so they'd either keep the love interest in house or make up a new person but uhhhhh Jules is honorary Flash fam and a Force user. And a Central resident. Dude does rodeo shows. Jules is a country boy. Bart is a country boy.

I just, I don't know, I think it'd work!

Also I don't want Julian to have the same fate as Jess and Hartley and literally only get featured during pride month. Setting up a mini series or something would be good for the character I think. I really like Jules and I want him to stick around and be in stuff.

#Bart's most common love interests are Carol Preston Tim Kon and Ed #but Carol and Preston haven't shown up since Impulse and likely won't unless Impulse comes back #Tim has his own thing going on and Kon would require DC making ALL of YJ queer. because lets be real Cassie is an Amazon #and idk if dc would do that? after Justice League Queer idk if i WANT them to do that. theyd be weird about it i think #and Ed is great in YJA but in the comics him and Bart haven't met and he's a different guy #so I'd love it but i don't think itd work. kinda like how Jackson falls flat when compared to Kaldur'ahm #its just different and it won't be the same you know? #so yeah i think Bart just needs a new person and hey! here's a Central City resident with a Flash obsession with similar and opposite #powers! its great! #they're the same age and I think itd be great #but thats just my two cents on it #dc #dc comics #the flash #kid flash #impulse #bart allen

[monty-glasses-roxy]

Wanna hear a scenario that lives in my head rent free and rotates in there like rotisseire chicken?

Ruin ending where Cassie survives the elevator but believes the Mimic's latest trick so now she thinks Gregory did betray and attempted to kill her.

Friendship no more.

And Cassie is now absolutely out to get him. But she doesn't want to simply kill him or anything like that, oh no. Instead she works on then strikes him where it hurts the hardest by taking what he likes the most away from him:

Freddy.

But I don't mean as in destroying Freddy (I don't think she'd be that far gone,) but by attempting to destroy Gregory's friendship with Freddy; or at least, throw a huge wrench into it.

How? Imagine the cam stations let Cassie access and salvage parts of old footage from the former camera system from the day SB happened; footage of Freddy telling Gregory not to hurt his friends because the problem may be something beyond their control, then sweet sweet footage of Gregory planning, staging and purposely destroying his friends (heck, he straight up pushes Chica from behind into the trash compactor!) to rip away their parts, in contrast to the lies he'd always told Freddy that his friends had suffered accidents as means to hide in intentional involvement.

And Cassie shows Freddy all that footage, evidence that his "superstar" had lied to him since day one, and that their friendship had been founded on these lies and deception.

Whether Freddy decides to distance himself from Gregory or not, is debatable. But even if not, Cassie still wins, because no way Gregory and Freddy's friendship would remain the same after that.

Toddles!

Oh this is good. I've been staring at it all day.

This relies on the idea that Freddy doesn't like... already know. I feel like he does ngl, but doesn't that make it worse? Cassie could be there, believing that Freddy deserves to know the truth, that vengeance is sweet, but he needs to know what his "superstar" did to his friends... but then he already knows. Not the specifics of course, he wasn't there to see any of that, but he knew about it, and allowed it to happen. Of course, seeing it for himself is a different feeling to just knowing and not really acknowledging it, so it would definitely change things, but it's not what Cassie had wanted. It's not what she expected.

She's angry, she's upset, and she expected better of Freddy than this. She expected him knowing the truth to be the only payback she needed. Non-violent and passive in execution, simply allowing the consequences of Gregory's actions to come back and bite him but then it doesn't.

And suddenly, Cassie understands why Roxy had been so aggressive about both of them. This isn't what she wanted at all, she feels like he's taken yet another thing from her and gotten off with barely a slap on the wrist... but what about Vanessa? What if Gregory lives with her now? What if seeing that stuff changes her perspective and alters how she sees Gregory?

Vanessa was as in control at the time as Roxy, Chica and Monty were. What gave her a pass, and not them? If he and Freddy both knew she could be saved, why didn't they try to save the others? Why was it just her? How is she supposed to process this information on top of everything else?

What if Cassie realises that she did get that revenge, just not in the way she wanted? Vanessa takes this information and starts to make visits to the Plex to check in on everyone, having not realised they were even still there after the place seemingly caved in. What if they bring Bonnie back and now, since Freddy is no longer welcome, his relationship with Gregory gets more tense? What if by taking this to Freddy and Vanessa, Cassie and the others get a new friend in Vanessa, Freddy and Gregory get a bit more distanced from her, and Cassie still feels like she's won? She may not have severed Freddy's trust in Gregory, but she still did some damage...

Or what if she does all this, but in the end it just feels wrong? What if she succeeds in her goal but it just feels hollow and empty, completely void of the satisfaction she'd hoped to gain? Would it make her see Roxy in a new light because she was on the Freddy warpath this whole time, right by her side, and she seems completely satisfied with this outcome? Or if she doesn't, what if Cassie watches her fucking clock him out for her own satisfaction and thinks "hey if it works for her... why don't I do that?"

There's so much to think about here that's a fun one

#fnaf security breach #fnaf ruin #fnaf cassie #honestly? she doesn't feel the type to go this kind of route though I DO think she'd feel Freddy deserves to know #so like... a byproduct perhaps? #I dunno I feel like it'd be on SIGHT sdfsdf #not thought too hard about it #okay that's a lie I thought a lot about it for Meteors I just can't remember it sfsdfds #anyway hell yeah cassie on the warpath!! #she deserves it!! #pop rox answers

I want to write about cassie and sonya so bad my girls deserve everything ever

#MOTHER DAUGHTER DAYS IM SICK #idc canon is fake to me they go shopping and go to the movies #cassie makes sonya watch her try on clothes #<- she asks sonya what she thinks and without fail sonya goes “well do you like it?” #yeah sonya cares very much about her job but I will beat the shit out of anyone who says she doesn't care about her family #mortal kombat #sonya blade #mk11 cassie cage #im projecting my desire for a good mother sorry I can't help it

[roseworth]

re: this post, i made it to complain about b*tfam fans but one of my pet peeves when people complain about tt03 is when people complain about how much rose & cassie fight. like im sorry you cant understand why two extremely stubborn people separately going through very traumatic periods of their lives would fight a lot when they tend to have opposing viewpoints all the time. also its how they have gay sex

#like yeah its johns being sexist and making the two female characters fight #but theres actual a real reason for it #i hate that ive basically become a g**ff j*hns defender but some people have problems that are so stupid #'why is cassie acting rash and mean' because she is mourning for literally the entire book #its not as out of character as everyone acts like it is you guys just havent read it #dgmw. it IS out of character. why is she dressing like that why is she acting like that around kon #but im sick and tired of everyone dismissing tt03 cassie #and i know ive gone on this exact same rant like a hundred times #and ill do it a hundred more times

[mamawasatesttube]

i need to write more konbart... i miss them... i still think it's a fucking crime that final crisis legion of three worlds didn't even let them hug. bart should've seen kon alive again and tackled him the second the fighting was over. bart should've latched on like a limpet and cried for at least an hour. come on.

#tim&cassie have the unbreakable bond of The Ones Left Behind. kon&bart have that of The Ones Who Died. #like i know i write a lot of timkon and i do love them but also i Firmly believe qp konbart is just as important a relationship in kons life #i just tend to write less about aro feelings bc that hits too close to home sometimes ksdjlsh romance is like. haha yeah not me but it's fun #but aro love. oh fuck ill be perceived. but sometimes i think about meg's little ficlet of aro bart thinking he would be in love with kon-- #--if he could be in love with anybody. like it would be kon but he's not built that way. and then i need to lie down a minute #kon and bart and their deep profound meaning to each other... #like bart is sooo aro to me but qp konbart does make me insane if i think about it #(i appreciate romo konbart too dgmw <3 but the qp version is what makes me lose my fucking mind) #augh........... konbart..... #rimi talks #kon #bart #konbart

[thelostgirl21]

(Edit: Someone pointed out I'd mixed up Francesca and Triss! My apologies!)

Okay, but should we... worry that Dijkstra and Emhyr switched seats at some point during the reading or...?

I mean, does it actually mean anything? Are we supposed to be concerned about that?

They had seemed to start the reading by sitting everyone with who they were last seen with in S3, or "thematically", at least, somehow...

With Yennefer being where she is because she's part of the main cast, and they needed people to see how she and the new Geralt looked together, I guess!

Otherwise, you have Jaskier next to Geralt and Milva; and since Regis is at the end of the table I'm guessing they kept things a bit more Hansa or Hansa-mission related on that side...

Ciri next to Yennefer with her new girlfriend and the Rats on the other side...

Radovid sitting opposite Jaskier (a bit to his left, I think) with the Redanian Intelligence...

Vilgefortz next to Philippa with Triss and the Lodge of Sorceresses... So Yennefer and Ciri are sitting in front of a wall of the mages...

Then, suddenly, Philippa's flanked by... Vilgefortz (that was already there) and Emhyr Var Emreis (ah... where the fuck did you come from)?!?!?!

Did they start S5's reading, and had some actors "relocate" accordingly?

Did Philippa have a falling out with Dijkstra?

More importantly, where's Radovid? And who's looking after him now?

You had one job, Dijkstra! (Although, no offense, Radovid might be better off without you... Not sure, however, that the fucking Emperor of Nilfgaard is a better replacement! I wouldn't exactly trust him to have the King of Redania's best interest to heart, let me put it that way...)

#Sigismund Dijkstra #Philippa Eilhart #Emhyr Var Emreis #Radovid #Jaskier #Go get your boyfriend #He looks a bit lost sitting there on the other side surrounded by dangerous evil devious no good people #That won't even invite him to have turkey at Thanksgivings even though he bought Dijkstra that electric carving knife thingy... #At least maybe they'd be into playing that drinking game where you take a swig each time you see a bit of blood... #Somehow I feel that's what poor Radovid's actually been doing his whole life.... #An actual in-universe drinking game... #Radovid sees blood and he just goes to hide and have a drink! #That's why Hugh was so quick to suggest it! Like Joey with Jaskier he's got an inner Radovid that shows up every now and then... #I swear my tags make sense if you've been watching interviews of Hugh Graham and Cassie together! #But yeah where did Dijkstra go? #My Posts #My Thoughts #My extreme overthinking

[twosidedcherrytrees]

Oh yeah btw I'm not saying it's the mimic in the main ending I do believe it's Gregory that killed Cassie I just think he should be allowed to commit atrocities. As a treat.

#kai wont shut up #fnaf ruin spoilers #fnaf ruin #fnaf posting #ACTUAL SPOILERS #spoilers #gregory fnaf #fnaf gregory #“gregory fans will defend him no matter what'' yeah exactly #let my boy go yeah he did it i dont care #in all seriousness though i do kind of think/hope its the mimic and its just weird writing (which idk why no-one's considering???) #(its made by the guys who made sb theyre not known for phenomenal writing in the fnaf fandom) #but honestly gregory killing cassie isnt that out there for fnaf #also its really funny. feral child canon ending
