New batch of Incarnations AU designs! This time, we have the bunch I call the Redeemed Star Allies! All of the Star Allies that were once villains! Are they on Kirby's side? Their own side? Who knows! But at least they're not invoking the wrath of eldritch abominations anymore! Lore under the cut as always!

If you like it, reblog please!

Magolor: An intrepid little alien explorer, and a far off descendent from the Ancients. Originally after the Master Crown as a journey of discovery and cultural heritage, the allure of the crown and the Dark Matter within corrupted his heart. After getting kicked around by both the Star Family and the alternate dimension purgatory, he now peacefully dwells on Popstar as a researcher and inventor, looking into the past of the Ancients and making trinkets for the citizens of Popstar. And maybe make some money on the side.

Marx: An oddball, even among Popstar, Marx was everyone's punchline, always laughed at rather than with. Until he discovered the rumors of the Clockwork Wishing Star, and plotted against the people of Popstar. After turning the Sun and Moon on each other, and stealing Kirby's wish, Nova grants him the power of an Incarnation, becoming the unofficial Incarnation of Madness. Filled with overwhelming madness and nearly losing himself, Kirby hurls him into Nova, detonating the construct. He at least kept some of the powers as well as arms. He's still quite the trickster, but at least his antics are mostly harmless.

Daroach: The world renown gentleman thief, and kingpin of the Squeak Squad, Daroach strikes fast and glamourous. After hearing rumors of a great secret treasure in Castle Dedede, he decides to set his squad out on their biggest score ever. After a straining back and forth between the squad, Dedede and Meta Knight, and Kirby, Daroach finally opens the chest out of frustration, accidentally unleashing the ruthless Dark Nebula. After experiencing the madness of Dark Matter and the horror of possession, Daroach was thoroughly humbled by Kirby. He now lays mostly low with his gang of thieves but occasionally emerges to help either Kirby or the Meta-Knights. There seems to be some history between him and Captain Vul, however.

Dark Meta Knight (Umbra Knight): Both a villain and a victim, Dark Meta Knight is what could've been, if Meta Knight fell further into Nightmare's influence. The Mirror's Incarnation of Ambition, and a slave of the nightmarish Dark Mind, Dark Meta Knight was torn down and built back up as a weapon for invasion behind the Mirror. After being kicked around by both Kirby and Shadow Kirby (now known as Shade) twice, Dark Meta Knight confronted his counterpart from Popstar, breaking down his violent, lonely life. Meta Knight sees him as a brother he couldn't protect and tries his best to get him settled in a more peaceful life, both in Popstar and the Mirror world. Dark Meta Knight, for his rebirth, chose the new name for himself, Umbra Knight.

Susie: A girl once trapped in an alternate dimension, now head of the largest robotics company this side of the galaxy, Susie is equal parts intelligent and charismatic. She doesn't stick around on Popstar very long, or visit very often. But when she's planet side, she often collaborates with Magalor in technology (and bonds over the shared trauma of being stranded in another dimension). She carries herself with a degree of maturity not often seen on Popstar, hence why she gets along mostly with Meta Knight and his crew.

Taranza: Once a prince, now a king, Taranza is the current sitting leader of the Sky People, after the defeat of the tyrant Queen Sectonia. He's often seen at Castle Dedede, trying his best to broker some peace between these two kingdoms. He also shares with Meta and Kirby any and all information he's gathered about the Mirror, in an effort to bridge the gap and heal the alternate world. He has many regrets, especially with Queen Sectonia, and he tries his best to be a good leader and diplomat, to undo at least some of the damage he's done. He's inquisitive and curious, friendly now that he's on the Star Allies' side.

‘The Life Of Chuck’: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Karen Gillan & Jacob Tremblay Join Stephen King Adaptation From Mike Flanagan And Trevor Macy’s Intrepid Pictures

Chiwetel Ejiofor (Rob Peace), Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3) and Jacob Tremblay (The Toxic Avenger) have joined the cast of The Life of Chuck, the latest of many Stephen King adaptations from filmmaker Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep), which kicked off production in Alabama under an interim agreement earlier this month. Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill lead the ensemble of the pic, written and directed by Flanagan, as we were first to tell you.

Also now involved is QWGmire, the production and financing entity known for the indie horror Agnes and the forthcoming Lovely, Dark and Deep, which has made a major equity investment in the independently financed feature.

Stated QWGmire partners Molly C. Quinn, Matthew M. Welty and Elan Gale, “We are thrilled to partner with Mike and Trevor [Macy] on this project. Mike is a master storyteller and we can’t wait to bring his inspirational adaptation of Stephen King’s short story to audiences.”

Based on three interconnected stories from King’s 2020 anthology If It Bleeds, The Life of Chuck examines the existence of its subject Charles Krantz in reverse, beginning with his death aged 39 from a brain tumor and ending with his childhood in a house believed to be haunted. Flanagan is set to produce the feature adaptation alongside his long-time Intrepid Pictures partner, Macy. WME Independent is repping domestic sales, with FilmNation Entertainment overseeing the international front.

Best known for his Academy Award-nominated role in 12 Years a Slave, Ejiofor’s recent credits include the Showtime sci-fi drama series The Man Who Fell to Earth, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, and the Sundance-opening sci-fi rom-com The Pod Generation with Emilia Clarke. Starring alongside Camila Cabello, Michael Kelly and more in Rob Peace, his sophomore feature on the heels of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, he’ll also soon be seen in Netflix’s The Old Guard 2 and a Venom threequel from Sony.

Gillan over the summer closed out her run as Guardians of the Galaxy‘s Nebula in the James Gunn-helmed Vol. 3, which grossed over $845M worldwide. Other recent credits for the actress include The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Thor: Love and Thunder and the Mali Elfman-helmed indie genre-bender Next Exit. She’ll next be seen in the Lisa Steen comedy Late Bloomers, which world premiered at SXSW earlier this year, and also stars up opposite Russell Crowe in the forthcoming crime thriller Sleeping Dogs.

With Feeling

Fem!Star Lord/Penny Quill x Reader

Art found here

Your Star Lady’s birthday was fast approaching and the other Guardians weren’t much help. You would not be going to them for advice ever again. You got the following advice from them:

“Present her with the head of your enemy“ Drax chimed in. “I proposed to my wife with that one”

“I really don’t care” Nebula said.

“Want me to bomb a moon so it says P+Y/N 4Ever?” Rocket asked. Lylla smacked him upside the head for that one. “What?!”

“Get a gift from the heart” Lylla told you. “Penny loves you for you”

“I am Groot” Groot said. Surprisingly that was the best advice.

You searched the junk shops on all of Knowhere. Every single one. It took some extreme searching but you found the perfect gift for Penny Quill. You slaved away at it for weeks, making sure that Penny didn’t suspect a thing.

Then came her big day. Penny awoke in her little apartment on Knowhere, your presence bringing a smile to her face as she woke up.

“Hey baby” she lets out a little giggle.

“Hey my Star Lady” you pepper her face with kisses. “Happy birthday”

“Is it my birthday? I don’t feel any wiser”

“Well I’m the wisest of the two of us” you smirk, earning a light punch from your lady.

Her beach blonde curls bounce as she jumps on you, playfully punching you and then kissing you. Her giggles fill the air. Penny collapses against your chest, her gentle giggles warming your heart.

“I love you” you whisper

“I love you”

“Come on,” you try to get up, “the team’s waiting”

You guide Penny out the center of Knowhere, the entire place decorated with 70s and 80s memorabilia. Lylla and Rocket really outdid themselves. Cosmo runs up, jumping around Quill.

“We love Star Lady” the dog exclaims.

Mantis comes out with a cake, “I think Kraglin outdid himself”

“Thanks sis,” Penny gives Mantis a hug. Kraglin gives her a proud smile.

And then came the gifts. Drax presented Penny with his favorite knife and a bag of zarg nuts. Mantis gave Penny a Cheers shirt. Nebula made some upgrades to the Bowie. Rocket and Lylla upgraded Penny’s helmet and rocket boots. Groot brought Penny a homemade sculpture of her and you helping to raise Groot when he was only a potted plant. Cosmo left a dead Orlani at Penny’s feet. And finally came you.

Your hard work was finally about to pay off. You pull out a small box and hand it to Penny.

Penny unwrapped the box and saw it. Your labor of love: a new Walkman and a trio of cassette tapes. A copy of Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and 2. And one of your own.

“C-Cosmic Mix Vol 1?” Penny looks to you with tears in her eyes.

“You’re an out of this world girl. Kraglin filled me in on the songs from volume 1.” You explain as you hook up the Walkman with your cosmic mix to the sound system. Penny clicks the play button.

The song begins to play and Penny can’t help but smile. It doesn’t take long for all of Knowhere to join in dancing.

You and Penny sway to the beat of the song. Penny wraps her arms around your neck.

“You’re the only one I want to listen to music with” she gives you a kiss.

“Happy birthday, my Star Lady”

Drax surpringly smiles, “I still think we could’ve gone to Earth and kidnap this warrior Ralph Macchio. She always spoke of him”

“Drax no!!” Mantis practically yells back. “Not after the time with Kevin Bacon!!”

July book pick: The Deep by Rivers Solomon

Our book pick for July is The Deep by intersex author Rivers Solomon! It was inspired by the song "The Deep" by Clipping, and is a fantasy novella set in a society of mermaids descended from African slaves.

We will be meeting online to discuss The Deep on Friday July 28 at: - 11:30am Pacific (Vancouver, San Francisco, etc) - 2:30pm Eastern (Toronto, New York, etc) - 8:30pm Central European (Paris, Berlin, etc) The meeting will be held on our discord, which you can join here: https://discord.gg/wmMQUQxEK4 (See our code of conduct)

As a reminder we'll be meeting to discuss our June book pick, The Fortunate Fall on Weds June 28. But if you're looking to get started on the next book, we hope you enjoy the Deep! We chose The Deep because: - We've heard good things about it! Most recently we heard it praised for its autistic representation. - It's been critically praised, and it's always great to see ownvoices getting recognition. It's a Lambda Literary Award recipient and was nominated for the Hugo, Nebula and Locus awards. - It's a novella, increasing the chance people can finish the book. Though finishing a book is not expected for the book club we know most people prefer to finish books for book clubs. - The book deals with heavy themes such as the trans-Atlantic slave trade and inter-generational trauma, and a novella gives us a gentler entry to talking about heavy content. (List of trigger warnings for the book here.)

Disccussion questions we’ll be using to facilitate the conversation (you don’t need to finish the book!):

What did you like about it?

What did you struggle with?

What other works did it make you think of? Why?

What connections do you see between this book and our last pick (The Fortunate Fall)?

This book grapples with how can we hold the truths of the violence in our personal/communal histories whilst also being able to move forward. What did you get out this facet of the book?

This is an atmosphere-oriented book rather than a plot-oriented book. Thoughts on the atmosphere?

We hope to see you at the meeting! If you have thoughts on the book feel free to share them as reblogs/replies!

And if The Deep isn't in the cards for you and you want to start on our August pick, it will be The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin.

Book Review 71 – Prophet, Volume 3: Empire by Brandon Graham (et al)

I’m continuing to read volumes of this as natural breaks between each large book which, besides being a way to juice my reading stats for the year, does do a great job of testing how good my memory is. In general this feels like a pretty consistent continuation of volume 2, with sharper characterization and an utterly overstuffed plot.

The comic continues the saga of a revived Earth Empire, entirely populated by the revived (and no also being once again mass-produced) effectively-posthuman clones of one John Prophet. Specifically, the story is mostly split between following the ‘Old Man’ Prophet who defected and led the rebellion which toppled the first empire, and the newest Father, the prophet who was the star of the frst volume and is responsible for resurrecting the empire to begin with. Beyond continuing on the story from previous volumes, these issues introduce a new threat invading from the edge of known space which is the ostensible new driver of the plot and what both leads are left scrambling to try and find a solution to.

Now, it might just be that I’m failing to adapt and meet the medium where it is, but my overall feeling really is that there’s far too much plot (and just, stuff) stuffed into far too little space. This volume did do a lot more touching on and sketching out real character dynamics and fun little beats for the cast, which really only kind of drove home the fact that there just isn’t the page count to do more than touch on them. In terms of plot my feeling is that this whole psychic pain nebula or whatever is a needless distracton from a story that already had plenty going on, especially since as of the end of the volume it’s stll no where close to being resolved. Will see where volume 4 goes with it, I suppose.

One thing the book did set aside a bit of time for was giving a sense of what the society of a bunch of wildly distinct posthumn clones of some guy from thousands of years ago now engineered into a brutal imperialist engine of militarism with genetically defined castes actually looks like. Which was absolutely great fun, and I dearly wish there’d been whole issues devoted to the question. Especially since the book actually commits to it being weird. Also, as far as world-building tropes goes, I absolutely adore the whole conceit of a society of engineered soldier/slaves/automata upholding an empire long after the creators their theoretically imperializing for are long gone. Gets into fun themes of inheritance and legacy, if nothing else.

Also, points for having a sleazy sci fi brothel scene and having zero conventionally-attractive-human-woman-with-blue-skin to be seen. I think the feature most vocally sexualized was gills? Truly a breath of fresh air compared to most sci fi. Really there’s probably something to be said about how resolutely unsexualized and un-Male-Gaze-ey the art is compared to most big comic books, but I really don’t have the background to make it.

Less pleasing uses of the pagecount where the points where you could really feel it become obvious that this is part of some wider superhero comic universe – the improbable number of characters who are ‘ancient beyond reckoning’ or similar who are clearly introduced and given instant narrative significance as fanservice gets old incredibly quickly. (Also, superhero names are dumb in a way that’s noticeably distinct from the way space opera names are dumb, and they don’t necessarily go together well. Suprema?)

Author Octavia E. Butler Author (1947–2006)

Known for blending science fiction with African-American spiritualism. Her novels include Patternmaster, Kindred, Dawn and Parable of the Sower.

Writer Octavia Estelle Butler was born in Pasadena, California, on June 22, 1947, later breaking new ground as a woman and an African American in the realm of science fiction. Butler thrived in a genre typically dominated by white males. She lost her father at a young age and was raised by her mother. To support the family, her mother worked as a maid.

As a child, Octavia E. Butler was known for her shyness and her impressive height. She was dyslexic, but she didn't let this challenge deter her from developing a love of books. Butler started creating her own stories early on, and she decided to make writing her life's work around the age of 10. She later earned an associate degree from Pasadena City College. Butler also studied her craft with Harlan Ellison at the Clarion Fiction Writers Workshop.

To make ends meet, Butler took all sorts of jobs while maintaining a strict writing schedule. She was known to work for several hours very early in the morning each day. In 1976, Butler published her first novel, Patternmaster. This book would ultimately become part of an ongoing storyline about a group of people with telepathic powers called Patternists. The other related titles are Mind of My Mind (1977), Wild Seed (1980) and Clay's Ark (1984). (Butler's publishing house would later group the works as the Patternist series, presenting them in a different reading order from when they were chronologically published.)

In 1979, Butler had a career breakthrough with Kindred. The novel tells the story of an African-American woman who travels back in time to save a white slave owner—her own ancestor. In part, Butler drew some inspiration from her mother's work. "I didn't like seeing her go through back doors," she once said, according to The New York Times. "If my mother hadn't put up with all those humiliations, I wouldn't have eaten very well or lived very comfortably. So I wanted to write a novel that would make others feel the history: the pain and fear that black people have had to live through in order to endure."

For some writers, science fiction serves as means to delve into fantasy. But for Butler, it largely served as a vehicle to address issues facing humanity. It was this passionate interest in the human experience that imbued her work with a certain depth and complexity. In the mid-1980s, Butler began to receive critical recognition for her work. She won the 1984 Best Short Story Hugo Award for "Speech Sounds." That same year, the novelette "Bloodchild" won a Nebula Award and later a Hugo as well.

In the late 1980s, Butler published her Xenogenesis trilogy—Dawn (1987), Adulthood Rites (1988) and Imago (1989). This series of books explores issues of genetics and race. To insure their mutual survival, humans reproduce with aliens known as the Oankali. Butler received much praise for this trilogy. She went on to write the two-installment Parable series—Parable of the Sower (1993) and Parable of the Talents (1998).

In 1995, Butler received a "genius" grant from the MacArthur Foundation—becoming the first science-fiction writer to do so—which allowed her to buy a house for her mother and herself.

Starbula Week Day 3 Jealousy

@starbulaweek

"Ugh! I still don’t get how they fall for his 'charms'." Rocket let out a growl, watching with disgust as Peter flirted with a Kree girl. "And to think Gamora was one of the victims."

Nebula took a sharp breath,, bitting her tongue and jaw tense while throwing daggers at the young girl, which went unnoticed as that stupid naïve kid stared at the man in front of her with hunger.

"This is taking too long." She commented, trying to contain herself. She didn't know why she felt this burning fire in her chest, and why she was so disgusted to see the girl giggling like an idiot and at Peter smirking at her.

"100 credits that girl will end up in his bed." Rocket added as Peter moved much closer to the young Kree, a mischievous gllee in his eyes while bringing an arm around her hip.

"100 that she'll end up with a broken arm." She elegantly sipped her drink and put it down on the bar, standing up from the stool.

"A broken arm? Why would she end up with... Nebula, hey! Hey! Where are you going?!"

That touch was more thanshe could bear. And though she tried to restrain herself from going and interrupting their leader, her emotions took over and with hurried steps she approached the pair of lovebirds.

Disgusting, she thought.

She didn't care about it was all an act to get information about a group of Kree warlords involved in a secret slavery trade with the Kree empire. She couldn't stand another second as the young girl closed the the distance and was now withing inches of kissing Peter.

"That’s enough fun for the day. I’ll take over from here." She grabbed the kree girl by the throat and dragged her into the nearest private booth, causing a commotion among the other customers in the club. Peter barely had time to react when she had her pressed against the wall with a dagger in her neck.

"what the fuck are you doing?!" Peter demanded at her unexpected outburst.

"You were taking too long.”

"I was just getting started! I had her right where I wanted!"

"Where? Your bed?” She scoffed, eyeing him up and down. “That was your strategy? Say fancy words so she can open her legs.”

“it works better than putting a knife to her throat!”

“But it’s faster. We don’t have time for your stupid games, Star Lord.” She turned to the girl, pressing the blade deeper into the girls neck. “Now you’re going to talk, or your head will be rolling on the floor.”

Peter let out a strangled grunt, throwing an arm in exasperation. “You’re scaring her. Let me do the talking.”

“No, you two talked enough already.”

Peter stared at her with a frown and a raised eyebrow. “Wha—that was the plan! We talked about it on the ship! I have a more friendly face than you bunch of psychopaths!”

“Oooh, cmon! You just want to hook up with her!”

“And?! If that means it’ll get us the info I wouldn’t care having a bit of fun!” He paused when he realized, eyes going wide. “Wooah, hold on are you jealous?!”

She did her best to put on the most mortified expression. “We are trying to dismantle a slaving network and you think I’m jealous?”

“You sound like you are…” The girl mumbled in fear. And Nebula gave her another growl, the blade finally drawing blood.

“You shut up!”

Mass Effect 1 replay, wrapping up Armstrong Nebula:

Gagarin

-Junthor - It has the remains of the colony of an ancient space faring race. Another victim of the Reapers?

-Antirumgun - Interesting description. Pirates come to "trade slaves and stories". That's some jovial alliteration for dark scene setting.

-Some also drill through the ice crust to recover the world's natural alcohol. That's some of the most realistic world building Mass Effect has provided yet.

-Pressha - So Turians do have admirals. I think this might be the only time they're mentioned. Does the Alliance have Generals hidden away somewhere?

-Rayingri - Two planets orbiting each other will result in their mutual destruction in a few hundred years. The Asari are already selling tickets. Good way to highlight how different the Asari lifespan is from humanity's.

Also, whoever wrote the descriptions for this cluster was having fun.

-This is the second planet in the Armstrong Nebula where Geth have killed people who were nearby. Given how huge the galaxy is, how did there just happen to be people in the vicinity of the Geth twice on these four random worlds?

-Well, this is a change of pace. There's an actual base and its surrounded by Dragon's Teeth. Empty - where did the husks go?

(The base, obviously. But how did they get in? Why drag them out, kill them on the Teeth, then put them back inside?)

-Bit foreboding that there are so many weapons and storage lockers, and all but two are presumably empty (since you can only open two)

-Aaaand there are the husks.

-And Geth on the way out. Where were you earlier?

-The Geth outside were the easiest to take out... Thank you, Mako.

Grissom

-Grissom Cluster, Grissom Academy... I'm noticing a pattern here.

-Notanban - So the bioluminescent life that developed forever flees the sun. Until I started writing these notes I did not realize just how much of Mass Effect world building is depressing.

-Solcrum - But there's beauty, too. The sun is gorgeous from this moon. The constant swirling is mesmerizing.

-The Geth coding language isn't known to the Citadel races. So they've developed their own since the Morning War. Why? Deliberately so the Citadel races couldn't monitor them, or was their original language just insufficient as they became more advanced?

-This is the first time I've heard strange noises on Solcrum. According to Google, others have as well. The wiki doesn't mention them, oddly enough.

What are they? The Geth?

-Why do I have to get close to survey Uranium? I feel this violates safety regulations, even if the suit is space proof.

-Descriptions keep labeling ancient artifacts as worthless. Liara is right there. Are you seriously telling me this archeologist isn't carefully recording all these old artifacts we come across?

-Those sounds have to be related the Geth. I also heard them when I entered the base.

-How does Liara keep dying when she has decent armor and barrier? Tali has neither and survives just fine.

- Tali is the one that decrypted the console with the Geth data and makes no comment about it.

It's odd she doesn't. Both Wrex and Garrus have extra dialogue for their loyalty missions.

-It would have been interesting if taking Tali with you on this option means she always makes a copy of the data for herself. Whether you freely offer it or not to her later only would only have impacted your relationship with her.

-Is the Quarian music related to the sounds somehow? Is that what Quarian music sounds like?

-I still want to know more about that Quarian song that plays when the last Geth fall. Why did the heretics use that for their communication, of all things? We've already established they have their own language that the Citadel races don't know.

-On that note, is the Geth language mentioned here the same for the Geth and the heretics? Would have added some flavor if the heretics had created their own.

It sure would have been nice if we could have asked Legion about any of this.

Squad

-Tali's loyalty mission is so odd. It's five parts long, it's not recorded in the journal as for her until you find the Geth Data in the fifth part, and it's very easily missable if you go to the world map instead of talking to Tali immediately. Again, why is this so different from Garrus's and Wrex's?

-Also, after all this work it should have made an actual difference in ME2 and ME3.

-If you go renegade, Tali comes across as very weary. She fully expects the Alliance to refuse to help the Migrant fleet, and recognizes this is just Shepard placing humanity first. She just wishes it wasn't at the Quarian's expense.

Considering she later supports the Quarians going to war with the Geth because she won't not help her own people... At least she's consistent.

Tali and Ashley are both similar in that regard: They expect people to always prioritize their own species and don't hold it against them on a personal level. They just keep it in mind when planning. Tali just has much better tact.

Also, she still sticks around to help stop Saren, so points to Tali for seeing the big picture.

-This is another example of where Shepard's loyalty being to the Alliance is considered renegade. I do think this is intentional; it occurs too frequently not to be. I'm very curious what the original plans for this theme were.

-The neutral option is to give Tali the data.

-Hmm. If you go paragon when discussing giving Tali the data, you say she needs it to destroy the enemy. If you go neutral, you tell her its encrypted. Interesting dichotomy there.

Is the paragon option supposed to be some kind of criticism? It doesn't come off as such.

Suddenly thinking of the Guardians in a human mad max setting.

Peter grew up in a group of Rock Riders. Gamora and Nebula are the daughters/executioners of Thanos, the ruler of The Black Order with his children. Rocket used to be a slave/universal blood donor, Groot came from the Green Place, and Drax's family got killed while trying to escape.

Mantis is stuck in a cult where people see Ego as a God.

Peter wants to split from Yondu but can't out of self-preservation. He resents Yondu for taking him away from his mother but also knows that he survived this long thanks to him.

Gamora yearns to be out of Thanos' rule, tired of being used as his weapon to cut down the Wretches and anyone that opposes him. She finally finds the chance to escape when Thanos orders Ronan on a mission. Gamora escapes in a vehicle, but Nebula hitches a ride, ready to deliver punishment for her betrayal. Then things happen, and let's just say they have a truce.

Rocket fixes cars and makes weapons from parts from people he steals from. He travels with Groot and is always paranoid. The tattoo on his back marks him as a universal donor, and he'll raise hell before he lets anyone take his blood again.

Groot comes from the Green Place and carries around a bag of seeds. He travels with Rocket after saving him from death and tending to his injuries. He only says I, Am, and Groot in the specific order.

Drax's family was murderer by Ronan during a raid. Now Drax travels in search of his family's killer and hopefully reunites with his wife and daughter once he completes his revenge.

When not playing the role Ego sets her to play, Mantis reads forgotten books in the library. Eagerly escaping the world through stories and history. There's also an unfinished map hidden in a drawer, but she doesn't touch that. She has a strange knack in knowing how someone is feeling. Probably from handling her father's worshipers.

When word is out that Ego is looking for his child, various people come in hopes they'll be let into his kingdom. One by one, they do, but they never come back out.

Peter’s the key to finding a place with water and flourishing life. Upon finding it, Ego would be able to expand his power.

Meredith had half a map on her back, and Peter has the other half on his. Peter doesn't know the significance of the marking on his back, tho, only thinking it as one of the gifts his mother left behind.

Yondu knows what it's like to be a slave. He likes to forget, but he never does. But that's in the past, and he has his group of Riders to look after. But Ego requests to bring kids in from the west. Orphans specifically. In exchange for food and water. Who was Yondu to refuse? Especially when a father is desperately looking for his kid. His own parents sold him for resources.

So Yondu does the job, and he never sees the kids he delivers. One day, Ego lets him up as a reward. There was only Mantis and Ego. No kids. Ego doesn't give him a straight answer when he asks about them. Instead, Ego offers him another exchange for another child.

Yondu leaves, and he finds a kid curled next to a dying woman. He takes one look and knows the kid is Ego's son. While his green eyes are from his mother, the boy looks like the splitting image of his father.

The boy snarls as Yondu approaches his mother, and the woman uses her dying breath to utter a single plea.

"Take my hand, Peter."

The boy doesn't take her hand, and her hand falls. The boy screams as Yondu yanks him away. The boy thrashes and curses up a storm, impassive for the little tyke.

Then he feels a stab of pain and looks to see the boy stabbed his shoulder with a tiny knife.

Miss Shallahi

While Quasar and I were going back to his home in Ballonlea, we ran into a surveillance drone from the place I ran away from

Which means they might know how to get here

I went back to Slateport to hide. Quasar says he has a plan to make sure they never come but I haven't heard from him in a while

I'm scared Miss Shallahi

I don't want to go back

-Opportunity (Oppy) ( @rogue-nebula )

Opportunity,

Quasar is not going to let them take you away again.

Quasar is not going to let them claw you back into bondage.

To them, you were property. A slave. I have lived amongst a group of freed slaves myself, and picked up some of their ethos, their philosophy.

I will protect those who cannot protect themselves, including those who haven’t yet found the courage or means to do so.

And if I hear of whoever-they-are getting close to Ballonlea, I’ll try and straight-up Pelliper Mail myself to you so I can help.

Understand?

About how care can become abuse.

When I think about Razaren I did not immediately assume the “point of view of the slaver” even though I should, because he was raised in a society that sees slavery as something normal, hell, rising above other slaves to become a servant to a Magister, is seen as something admirable, glorious, magnificent to the point that Varania even hates Fenris in DA2, because she thinks he had a better life as bodyguard to a Magister than her and her mother that he freed had upon losing their slave status. Which means that rising above other slaves while staying a slave is seen as better than buying yourself out of slavery, at least for Varania. Unfortunately, I don’t know any other DA character that could provide the comparison here in regard to this topic.

Still I was willing to entertain the idea that maybe Razaren was telling the truth and that he was a prisoner too. He was not a slave, but he was a prisoner of expectations, bloodline, parent who was shown to be abusive and hold racist and dehumanizing views about slaves.

When he said that he and Miriam were both prisoners, I inadvertently thought about the case of Gamora and Nebula from MCU. Keep in mind that the comparison is not 1:1, as both Gamora and Nebula were kidnapped as kids and raised as assassins by their abusive “father”, but similar enough that it sprouted into my head almost immediately. If Razaren wasn’t of the Ammosine bloodline, but was instead some adopted kid raised as Ammosine, the comparison would be nearly 1:1, because what the comparison is about is that he had privilege that “his siblings” did not, and he failed to not only see, but accept it.

If he accepted it, he would be 50% more decent guy than he was.

Instead, he was so obsessed with the idea that they were family, that he disregarded his own privilege simply on the note that they shared the same abusive parent who possibly tormented them all.

In Razaren’s head he was abused by his mother in different ways, and it made him equal to “his siblings” (as long as imagining them as his bodyguards when he raises to be the next Divine can be considered “equal” lol, he really did not know what equal means, like at all), but in Miriam’s head his abuse was and never will be comparable to hers and her brother’s, because he had a privilege of being Ammosine, and they were just their slaves. What I found interesting is that even though the show never shows us how Razaren’s mother treated him when they were alone beyond her very toxic “no Ammosine failed a Harrowing in 300 years” scream, it showed us that Razaren didn’t even care about his mother’s death. He crawled to Neb, and he cared only about Neb’s death. Miriam accused him of killing her brother, even though in this scene it was apparent that Razaren was not the one who did that, but it was his mother instead. I don’t want to say that he was innocent or not a bad person, because he clearly was, considering that he saw them both as his to the point that he could not take their refusal of being his family and called them ungrateful.

Because as far as he is concerned, they are HIS family / slaves. He owns them as much as father thinks he owns his wife and children. He is possessive of them, he thinks that he is entitled to having them as his family, and that only he can give them what they need.

I must say that in that mindscape scene when he reacted with anger and frustration to hearing “no” he reminded me a lot of a “nice guy”, who sees himself as good, but the moment he doesn’t get what he wants he drops the pretense of caring and takes what he wants by force. That’s why Razaren is an abuser. That’s why Razaren is a slaver.

Even if he was not responsible for Neb’s death, even if he cared about his family, his own obsessive and selfish desire to have a family was more important to him than the feelings of the people that were to be his family. Which basically puts him in the same boat as any abusive family member I ever saw or met. People say that “true family would listen to each other, care about each other's feelings, respect each other's decisions” and so on. I like to think that it’s true. That maybe that’s what the true family would do, but my experience with family is abuse, and that is the only frame I can see family through. That family will disregard your decisions, diminish you and mock you, manipulate you, make you feel as less until you accept that their selfish desires, ideas and opinions are more right than yours and make you submit.

This is a type of family that you reject and run from, even if they care about you. I can’t tell you how many times I heard someone abused me out of caring for me, while in truth it was just to change me to fit their narrow-minded ideas about what I should be for them. Razaren is exactly the same. Even if his care is genuine, his behavior is toxic and abusive, and his intentions will never overwrite his actions. His good intentions that are only good in his own head will never make it right for him to just ignore the wishes and desires of Miriam and Neb.

Hell is paved with good intentions, and Razaren went straight there.

#dragon age #dragon age absolution #dragon age absolution spoilers #razarem ammosine #tw abuse #to me his behavior works both if care was faked and if it was real #people who don't respect you but still care about you can abuse you #let's not delve into if that care is true or not if they inflict abuse #that is too complicated of a topic

You mentioned before how Maki and Mai’s conflict reminds you a lot of Gamorra and Nebula’s conflict.

Which have me curious on what’s the similarities and the differences between the two pairs are. Since I personally haven’t watched Bleach yet, but I do love the conflict between Mai and Maki in JJK, even if it ended in tragedy.

So yeah. What’s your take on them?

Okay, your question is really confusing. Gamorra and Nebula are from guardians of the Galaxy, not Bleach. Could you possibly be talking about Yoruichi and Soi Fon? In that case yes, Gege pretty obviously took inspiration between the two of them, one choosing to leave for selfish motives and one staying behind in their position in society that they feel trapped in and being angry at Yoruichi for abandoning them.

As for Gamorra and Nebula.

I do like the way their conflict is resolved in the second movie, but to be honest I don't have a lot of knowledge of what their relationship is like in the comics.

If you want me to do a conflict between Maki and Mai and another sister / sister conflict, then they do remind me a lot of Blackfire and Starfire. Both of these conflicts are deconstructions of the good sibling bad sibling, or the cain and abel conflict that gets repeated in fiction a lot to show that good sibling and bad sibling is a false divide, the same way good victim and bad victim is.

Now for a brief lesson in comic book history. Blackfire is first introduced in New Teen Titans #22, with her backstory tied to Starfires' being elaborated on Tales of the New Teen Titans #4.

Blackfire is introduced as a pretty typical, evil, jealous older sister. In the original story Blackfire is born sickly and unable to fly, essentially disabled on her home planet and her birthright to the throne is passed over to Starfire, which results in Blackfire resenting Starfire throughout her childhood. However, there is some interesting subtext... for instance Raven picks up on the fact that Blackfire's parents might have loved her less and Starfire kind of brushes it off like "Nah, she was just born evil."

Blackfire, being denied her brithright still believes that she can fight back and prove herself physically even if she can't fly.

She tries to go to Okaara and prove herself by being more of a physical fighter and more willing to kill, even cheating to get ahead, but gets kicked out of the planet when she tried to strike her sister down AFTER Starfire saved her from dying when she fell off a cliff on accident. Blackfire then returns after being exiled from Tamaran as a conquering invader and then joins with Tamaran's enemy to conquer the planet, then sells Kory into slavery, and then they both get captured and experimented on and then again Kory escapes, AGAIN KORY slaves Blackfire and AGAIN Blackfire is not particularly grateful.

So yeah, Komand'r does a lot of bad stuff, but the New Teen Titans writers at the time seemed to pick up on the subtext present in Blackfire and Starfire's shared backstory that Blackfire was a victim of abuse from their parents, and both parents never really gave Blackfire a chance no matter how hard she tried to prove herself.

I mean you could compare this to two manga characters immediately, both Maki, and Toya. They are both born with physical defects basically disabled, and they are both punished for something they were born with by their ableist parents. My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen tell the story from Toya and Maki's perspectives, whereas Blackfire's backstory is told to us from Starfire's perspective.

Yes, Blackfire does a lot of bad things to Starfire I don't want to downplay that, but it's not Blackfire who created the conflict between Starfire and Blackfire, but rather it was their parents who deliberately set them against each other. Children don't learn hatred from nowhere, it's the adults who create these conflicts and these little kids are just reacting. Blackfire, a lot like Toya, and Maki believes that she can earn back her place on Tamaran, or even her parent's love by showing her strength which is why she becomes more physically violent in the first place. If you look at Toya's extreme mental deterioriation over the course of the todofam flashback chapters then you can see why growing up in this environment would have an extreme effect on Blackfire. And Toya, and Maki endure as best as they can the abuse of their families until they just snap, and lash out in extreme violence, both of them becoming murderers. Toya even attempts to kill Shoto multiple times, the same way that Blackfire does with Starfire.

So it's at least understandable why Blackfire grows up such a violent person, and why she seems to blame Starfire more than her own parents, because in her mind Starfire took her parent's love away from her the same way that she was born to replace Blackfire as the new heir because Blackfire simply wasn't good enough. Blackfire is punished for circumstances completely out of her control before she was even born.

(There’s another fun added layer of compare and contrast if you consider Shoto and Toya, the oldest is born disabled and therefore passed over by their parents and becomes the scapegoat of the family, the youngest is born with a perfect body and becomes the golden child, however, in both cases the parents abuse their golden child too and see them ultimately as tools so neither position is good to be in therefore deconstruction the scapegoat and golden child dynamic. However, the scapegoat is wildly jealous of the godlen child because due to their disability they have been blamed and hated throguhout their lives, and they assume the golden child’s life must be better because at least they have the parent’s attention.)

As the story goes on though Blackfire gets a lot more depth, number one it's Starfire's parents technically who sold Starfire into slavery as a way of brokering a peaceful surrender to their planet. Starfire's parents also constantly treat both of their daughters as political tools and sacrifice them (and never do any of the sacrificing themselves).

Blackfire also gets a bit of backstory that adds more depth to her character in between her first and second appearance. Her backstory goes on to elaborate some pretty major differences between her and Kory, that Blackfire tends to put the mission and the cause above everything even love.

She is temporarily blinded (disabled again) and loses all will to fight because she believes herself weak and helpless, and once again her bloodthirsty nature seems to just be a coping device, a way of making up for her disability on her home planet by continually showing her strength whenever possible. When she loses that willingness to fight, her self confidence completely collapses.

Blackfire even temporarily gives up everything to find love in one person. Showing she is just as capable of falling in love, or desiring comfort as her sister is. Only, to tragically be tricked into killing her lover / lieutentant in order to regain the desire to kill so she will put the cause of conquering tamaran over everything else including love.

"Got to be strong, got to be cold, got to be the killer..." is probably the mantra that Blackfire has been repeating to herself her entire life. At the end of the conflict over Tamaran, Blackfire actually conquers Tamaran and wins, because she's actually the stronger and better ruler than either Starfire or both of her parents. The public actually turns against the king, and in favor of Blackfire because she's actually going to rally to the planet's defense rather than just rolling over and surrendering to their enemies. Blackfire herself also seems to want Starfire to rule with her, rather than just killing her outright or throwing her off the planet.

Komand'r is also the only one who seems to be aware that their parents are abusive, she tries to point out to Starfire that first they sacrificed Blackfire, and as soon as their own lives were threatened Starfire was put on the chopping block too. That's what happens when adults view their children as tools existing for their benefit and not the other way around.

So Blackfire is wildly selfish, she is extremely ruthless and violent, but she also seems to have developed these tendencies in self-defense. Her parents would just rather she have not existed for being born disabled. As for why Blackfire turned against Starfire in particular, and how Starfire contributed to the conflict, it seems like Starfire regularly denied her parents abuse of her sister which only fueled Blackfire's resentment of her. Blackfire's parents tend to go "... Yeah she was just born evil there was nothing we could do..." and Starfire repeats that (and like once again Blackfire gets violent with Starfire a lot when Starfire was just a child and didnt know any better but that's also going to have an effect on Blackfire when you are being abused)

At the end of Blackfire and Starfire's conflict, Blackfire is fully fleshed out not just as a wicked older sister, full of love and hate for the planet that abused her so thoroughly. While she wants to conquer it to prove something, and the abuse she endured caused her to hate the whole planet, she also came to love it as well and turns out to be a better ruler than her father, and things start to improve when she is in charge. "Tamaran needs me as much as I need her." The entire planet denied Blackfire's identity, and yet Blackfire formed her identity in trying to prove she was a worthy ruler of Tamaran.

It also didn't need to be this way. Blackfire turned out to be a good ruler, she always wanted the throne, she was the first borne, Starfire never even wanted the throne in the first place. Just as I said, the conflict betwen Blackfire and Starfire is created by their parents for practically no reason, except for the parent's own ableist belief. If they had just raised Blackfire as the ruler instead of denying her none of the conflict that followed would ever have happened.

The relationship between Starfire and Blackfire is like that too, it's an intense one of both love and hate. Like Maki, Blackfire puts selfishly proving her worth to her family and gaining strength above everything else. Blackfire wants to retain her pride without hating herself because she's been abused her whole life for being seen as disabled by her family (can’t see cursed energy).

Mai on the other hand, just wanted to have her older sister stay with her. She cared more about having a sister, than being strong on her own. Which is why she feels so abandoned by Mai. The same thing for Starfire, she just wanted to have an older sister, she didn’t really care about the throne or family politics to begin with, which is why we see Starfire give Blackfire so many chances and save Blackfire’s life on multiple occasions.

The thing about Blackfire and Starfire is as much as they hate each other, they also love each other. Blackfire is probably the only family member she has a genuine connection with because she never really met her younger brother, and her parents have extremely conditional love and sell her and use her as a tool on multiple occasions. If you dismantle the ideas of good victim and bad vicitm then you are left with two siblings who cope in different ways, who are thrown into conflict not because one of them is evil, but because of the adults around them creating that conflict. In the end Mai loves Maki, just as Starfire loves Blackfire and that love endures all of the conflict that their relationship is fraught with.

I am probably overthinking things but here's a rant motivated by this post (or rather, some of its responses) (tw: some discussion of ACAB, nothing explicit):

Does ACAB apply to the Heroes?

In real life, cops are bastards because they exist to enforce an oppressive status quo, and are rewarded for their bastardry with functional immunity from the same laws they are supposed to uphold.

In Hero Factory... it's complicated. Yes, the corporation has the Heroes cooperate with local law enforcement in many cases (for example, Stormer's buddy buddy relationship with the cop in ep3), but it is a private corporation, and given the whole Galactic Conspiracy plotline in the late books before it all got cancelled, this doesn't seem to be a universal thing. Hero Factory exists, in-universe, to deal with the growing supervillain problem, which could be tangentially regarded as law enforcement, but only in cases where local enforcement is unable to handle it (like all the acid spitting weirdos). Hero Factory Incorporated gives the impression of a private emergency services company, rather than necessarily a law enforcement agency (at least in my opinion). They even have dispatchers like a 911 call center.

Also, the franchise likes to blur the lines between "person" and "thing." One of the most obvious examples I can think of is how the robots all refer to the techno-organic species in Savage Planet as "animals" and "wildlife," despite many of them being sapient and perfectly capable of speech. There's also how they treat their own: Daniella Capricorn literally refers to her camera bot as her "mindless slave," and nobody seems to bat an eye at that, and the Fire Lord and his crew became that way because of an ill-advised "upgrade" that was intended to increase their efficiency, presumably by the company that made them for mining.

The Heroes are considered "people," but also products. They are advertised to the public in showcases and commercials, they are maintained by the company that produced them, and when they wear out, they're sent off to live elsewhere to fulfill a similar role. I don't think they're really allowed to decide what they want to do with their lives, because most that do wind up becoming Villains, if Core Hunter and Von Nebula are any indication.

Presumably, this sort of universal dehumanization is why things like Furno zapping a prisoner in episode 1, Stormer dismantling their radio guy for insulting him in Hero Factory FM, and other instances of "police brutality" in the franchise isn't really treated seriously in-universe. They're robots, they can be repaired and replaced if need be, who cares if they get hurt?

Honestly, on a Doylist level, it's obviously just regular children's copaganda. You're not supposed to think too deeply about the implications about the metaphorical cops literally being owned by a private corporation, who engage in casual acts of excessive force and brutality for the sake of a laugh, and how just about everyone in the setting gets all kinds of roughed up on the regular because they're robots so it's fine.

I don't know where I'm going with this. I did mistake Surge for a girl when I first looked up HF on tumblr and saw the HRT post, so gender stuff with him is absolutely on the menu in my mind. But also, I'm not sure if he'd be allowed at Pride. I guess it depends on where you draw the line. I stayed up way too late rambling about robot philosophy.

Hiya! My name’s Opportunity, but you can call me Oppy. She/her or they/them, living in between dimensions with my friends! (so I could really be in any region) (I’m traveling Hoenn right now though). My friend Quasar got me set up on here, huge thanks! And yes, I am a shapeshifter. I can turn into just about anything. It’s cool!

So a bit about me. Well, I was artificially created as one of many shape-shifting slaves to be sold in stores across the corporate nation of VermilineCorp. The factory I was made at doubled as a place for training us to be the perfect servants, and it was… not nice. I endured years of it. Needless to say that’s not what I wanted for myself, so I escaped through a Door into the Dimensional Nexus. But I got pretty badly hurt while running. Lucky for me my best friend Quasar found me and brought me to this world, where I healed and gained my freedom, for real this time. (I’ve had bad experiences with false hope)

Now that I’m in a world that doesn’t hate me, and I’m free to live as I wish, I’m traveling the world to see all the cute pokemon in it! I love nature and cute things, and this world has lots of those! And since I have a rotomblr of my own now, why not post about the things I see? I’m also exploring the Nexus with my friends sometimes too, so there’ll be posts about that too.

My Pokemon (so far):

Vinebud, a beautiful Servine

Genesis, a Red Gyrados who loves flying

Celsius, a strong, stoic Cryogonal

Jutsu, an energetic Ninjask

Echo, a laid-back Shedinja

Candela, a Shiny Litwick from a place called Wonderland, who seems to love books

Powerfist, a Metang with an excellent sense of direction

Strelka, a unique pokemon called a Type: Null

Here’s me! ^u^

Seems the Variable Free is coming into her own. This will be a delight to observe. And what's this? Visitors? Well then, allow me to introduce myself: Baron Twyst Von Jokewyld at your service. But what's in a name? That's for me to know. Now that our little shapeshifter has gained her freedom she has quite the journey ahead of her, together with the astronaut lost and their company, and I have my role to play in that. I'll also be posting on here, when the fancy strikes me. Ask as much as you want, I'll see what I feel like answering!

//OOC under the cut

//OOC: Hiyo! Call me Cyber. I use they/them, I’m over 18, and while I’m getting better at RP I still struggle with social anxiety so please be nice (in-character hate is fine)

I’m still learning so if I mess up don’t hate me

Events and plotlines are 100% OK and encouraged. I might even have my own later

Pelipper Mail and Malice are both on, as is Magic Anons, and interaction is encouraged

Sentient pokemon are welcome here

The usual tag warnings and DNI apply for a PokeRP blog, also for this blog specifically there’s a blanket warning for Homestuck, and a few warnings for liminal spaces as well.

Also yes I use Gacha Club. If that's a problem I'm sorry

Facts about Oppy:

Oppy is part of the Nebula Incursionists (see @nebula-incursionists-official )

Oppy is technically a faller so she still has much to learn about the pokemon world

Oppy is a shapeshifter, but was conditioned to never shapeshift except in certain ways. She’s still working on overcoming that conditioning

Despite how cheerful she may seem Oppy is a sensitive soul. She was frequently abused at the factory she was made at, and so has a number of traumas and other things to live with

On the note above Oppy will not under any circumstances use strong language due to personal reasons (nor will I due to past trauma). She is ok with people swearing around her however, as long as it’s not aimed at her maliciously
