#also: if the timeline of this doesn't make sense

[theloneotaku158]

As of Batman: The Brave and the Bold #12, local precious-gremlin-who-I-would-die-for, Maps Mizoguchi, is now officially(?) the sixth Robin. Or at the very least, she's now "in" on The Secret™.

If this isn’t a set up for her taking up the Robin mantle officially then I genuinely don’t know what is.

As one of the twelve Gotham Academy enjoyers in existence, I am having the extremely normal reaction of "FUCKING FINALLY! LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO--!"

In all honesty, I'd be lying if I said I hadn't seen this coming from miles away. Like, Maps has appeared in a number of seemingly random cameo roles recently, including Batgirls (2021), and even technically as Robin in the backup issues of Batman (2016) #119-121, and in a short story in Batman Black & White. And most of those got collected in a standalone titled "Maps of Mystery", which specifically gathered all her appearances as Robin (and the Gotham Academy Belle Reve story).

And then, of course, her recent time-travelling Future-Trunks-esque appearance in Birds of Prey (2023), as the tech-based Meridian, from a potential future timeline where she apparently makes it as a superhero using gadgets she apparently designed, proving that she's hero material.

That's not something you do for a character for no reason. That's the sort of thing you do when you want to keep a character in the conscience of your readers for whatever reason, because you have bigger plans for them.

Also interesting to consider that, in the "Mother's Day" story where this took place, Alfred is standing right there and not lying down six feet under wood, dirt and a stone slab, and that Bruce is in the old Batcave under the manor so he still has Money™, I must assume this was some nebulous time in the past (after GA: Second Semester(?), but before City of Bane)... which I won't bother to analyse the exact timeframe of because DC doesn't care about the post-Flashpoint / New 52 / Rebirth / Prime Earth / idfk / Dawn of DC timeline, so neither should I.

But I think it's really funny that this presumably means Maps has known The Secret™ for a long time relative to present-day comics, but always acted like she didn't.

But if all her appearances are in chronological order, that means Bruce is only the fourth Bat whose identity she discovered.

Like, she discovered Cass' identity almost by accident on a trip to the zoo, Damian showed off his grapple gun and gave her an actual Batarang during the three hours he was enrolled in the school (as if she wouldn't immediately put two-and-two together even back then), and she even found out Terry fucking McGuinness would become Batman in a future via a time-travelling grandfather clock.

No I did not make that last part up. Read Gotham Academy istg.

Did Cass know that Maps had been acting as a Robin when she met her, both at the zoo in Batgirls and her future version in Birds of Prey?

Does Damian know the one (1) friend(?) he made in Gotham Academy is potentially in the running for his job?

Is Bruce himself aware that she knows as much about their identities as she currently does?

How is DC going to retcon this so it all makes sense in the barely-functioning canon of the modern DC universe?

I'm digressing. Where was I going with this?

Point is, she's destined to become a Robin, and I'm glad DC finally pulled their fingers out their asses and capitalised on that destiny.

Let's just hope it doesn't take another year for them to follow up on this plotline again.

Bonus: Jason Todd, after learning of Bruce taking yet another happy kid under his wing as yet another Robin, giving her some advice:

#dc #batman #maps mizoguchi #mia mizoguchi #bruce wayne #cassandra cain #batgirl #batfam #damian wayne #robin #jason todd #red hood #gotham academy #dc istg dont drop the ball on this i will NEVER forgive you #and PLEASE do not traumatise this robin #Bruce promised he wouldn't let anything happen to her #he better keep that damn promise #otherwise I will personally Blue Skidoo into the comic itself and kick both Bruce and the traumatiser in the groin

Late to the party but can I request just- spoiling the Chain with love and affection and care (including First!) because these boys deserve it

- Softie, who can't remember if this has been asked for already

I think these can combine nicely. 😊 Because all of these boys have a lot of trauma I am going to make a Hc’s to cover everything.

Time:

This man crumbles when you care for him. He is literally always the person that take's care of others so having someone care for him is new. Even if he knows your not flirting he is still receptive to it. Though Time is going to try to give back everything.

Making Time flustered is actually fairly hard. Yes, I just said he crumbles when cared for. However, he more or less soaks it in. Getting him to go all red and mushy and just flustered is extremely hard. You can pull out all the stops and he will not stray from that calm exterior. Maybe he would be blushing but its not as bad as you when he goes to fluster you.

The most nightmares that he would have are from OoT however the most comforts he needs is more from the Majora's Mask adventure.

Because most of the things he has been through was when he was a child, he probably has some sort of childhood memory lost from it. But its more of he knows what happen but the memories he would have just aren't there. It's not like he can see it in his mind eyes. Though I would imagine he would have nightmares of the future hyrule he saw in the adult timeline. That part of the adventure was more horrifying to him then the child portion of the adventure. When this happens he tends to not go back asleep unless you urge him to. He really doesn't want to wake up in a future with out those he cares about.

Time, I would think still has some anxiety towards not being able to keep track of the days. It's mainly because he did lose track of the time while in Termina and he does flinch every time when a clock tower bell chimes. Time has kept most of his masks including the ones with spirits inside, though he assumes they had moved on to the afterlife at this point as even he can sense the lack of magic. Honestly on days that he is more anxious, you would need to ground him. Hold his hand. Give him a hug. Quiet reassurance.

Twilight:

Twilight's suffering comes from abandonment. I am just gonna call him out. He might have a body horror fear, aiming on himself as transforming into a wolf is disgusting and painful.

Honestly even though it hurts he will still become Wolfie to feel some comfort from the other boys. Just as much as he goes wolf to help the others with comfort. Twilight isn't one to ask for physical affection mainly because he was used to just receiving it

What he wants for affection is hugs and kisses. He needs that reassurance that everything is going to be ok. That your not going to leave him as well, also that everything is going to be ok. He really just needs the love and attention.

Twilight's second worse fear is that he will be left alone for the rest of his life. He has abandonment issues which mixing with his wolf protection instincts is just a complete mess of emotions. Just sit his butt down when he gets overbearing a hug him. From that moment on just ban Twilight from moving. If he needs to walk he is gonna have to carry you.

Sometimes you would also need to drag Twilight away to a more quiet location. Being turned into an animal also heightens your senses. We both know the boys are loud. So if its pampering time. You two wont be seen for hours :D

Warriors:

Warriors will rather die then let his demons be known. Which is really good that you know about his adventure! But seriously, Link hates his weakness showing even in private. The man has bad anxiety, he consistently feels like he is being watched. It's not just because of Cia, but knowing that she was always watching him the whole time didn't help, he also had to deal with traitors.

That being said Warriors is another Link that needs the silent affection and comfort. He might twist it on you. That just so he can twist what it looks like to other people. He will 100% take advantage of 'comforting you' to comfort himself as well. Don't point it out, don't even mention it. He will stop and get defensive.

That being said if he is hurt, then call him out on it. Warriors is more willing to be comforted because he is already hurt. He loves his hair being played with, its an instant relaxer for him when he isn't on high high alert. For example, at bed time he is out like a light, but if you play with his hair while walking through town he will tease you.

Warriors is going to need reassurance from time to time. He doesn't think anyone in the chain is going to betray him. But his brain just tells him to always be on edge just incase of an attack. I think when you get to know him better you would be able to notice it. In case of this emergency. There isn't much you can do, other then hold his hand through it. Distracting him wont do much but when he focus's on you he feels a bit better.

All this to say he doesn't get much sleep. He actually is a nightmare when it comes to nightshifts and wont wake people up because he is to anxious to not be awake and on watch. You might just have to throw him down on the bedroll and lay on top of him.

First:

First is hard to read. No matter how long you've known him. It's hard to know if he is ok. You just know that sometimes First comes up to you, hug you and not say anything. You can be in full conversation with someone and he just hugs you from behind. Face in your hair as he takes in your present.

He really doesn't want you to disappear on him. First lost a lot of people then almost lost his life. So let him just seek you out when he is feeling a bit... out of body.

First in general wont tell you what's the matter with him because he doesn't know what's wrong half the time. I image first is a bit no brain cell type. So like when there is a out of body moment it just confusion. Also it doesn't happen to often.

If he does look bothered by something or maybe a bit more out of it then normal. Hugging typically works. Kissing works as well. But he adores hugs and will pick you up so he could cuddle.

Either way you want to spoil first? Cuddle or hugs. Just make sure your touching him that's all he wants. Adores it even.

What are your ideas on Yutu’s Unique Magic?

Maybe Riddle!Yutu having a countering UM to his father, or Cater!Yutu having one that allows him to see the true in people, etc, etc…

Also, what if Yutu has a sister/brother back in his OG timeline? Did he bring them with or they just got left behind?

for context, check these posts (1) (2) or look at the Fyuuture kid section under series on my masterlist.

oof I have a lot. Unique magic strikes me as something that is supposed to be reflective of who the mage is as a person as well as the Disney character/concept the boy is based on.  Since Yutu is not based on anyone really, we are more free with inspiration for his unique magic, with two exceptions. Idia and Kalim both have lines suggesting that their unique magics are passed down in their family's, though I imagine the incantation is different to each person; it makes sense for their Yutu's to have Gate to the Underworld and Oasis Maker respectively.

Before I really get into the weeds, I do like the idea of Yutu having (a) sibling(s) in the OG timeline, again because that can happen in Fire Emblem Awakening but also because it adds to the angst somewhat. As for whether or not he would bring them back in time, the answer to that is yes. Yutu has a few friends he traveled back in time with that are scattered around Twisted Wonderland with no way to contact each other, and if he had a sibling (with the exception of Malleus! Yutu whose sister is a bit... special) then they would be among that group. If you want some extra angst we can steal even more from FE: Awakening and make it so Yutu's sibling died before he arrived, maybe they turned into a blot monster that follows Grim's overblotted form as a replacement for his hench human.

We could even make it so Yutu's sibling doesn't have any magic, just like Yuu. You know. For the parallels ψ(｀∇´)ψ

Riddle! Yutu

Riddle! Yutu having a magic that counters his dad is such a good concept, especially for someone who initially hates him. There are two types of magic that we have seen counter Off With Your Head: Trey's Doodle Suit and a strong shielding spell used by Leona.  I can think of a few directions to take this line of thinking, so let's start with the most grounded.

A strong shielding spell, one that can be applied to multiple people, sounds like a spell that thematically fits Yutu.  We don't know a lot about how these spells function, but they're important for combat magic and shielding multiple people seems to be implied to be difficult.  Let's say in this case it's natural for Yutu and essentially the same for him as shielding himself.  This sort of spell feels like it should have a card themed name, Big Blind maybe?  It's a term that refers to the minimum bet required to continue a poker game if I understand what I read correctly. The only card game I know how to play is yugioh

The less grounded approach could be a sort of spell that creates an anti magic field… it's a concept I did toy around with mostly because I was thinking about more Alice in Wonderland themed names for a unique magic, and thought up “Everything is Nonsense” or something along those lines.  My one sort of caveat to this concept is that I think a spell like this would be heavily stigmatized, probably cause a lot of blot build up for a caster, and I'm uncertain of how it would work mechanically. Well that and I have an idea for a different Yutu who this spell would fit a bit better... but that would require me to cook with a different type of fire.

I did mention in my post about Riddle! Yutu that I liked the idea of his unique magic allowing him to shrink or grow because of Rule 42 in Alice Adventure's in Wonderland saying all people more than a mile high must be rejected from court. If Riddle is the Queen of Hearts, well then any time they argue all Yutu has to do is grow and then he won't be allowed to yell at him any more so there. As a side note do you think this logic could apply to the Chimera in the Prologue? Because I could see that being darkly funny if it comes up in game in that context.

Cater! Yutu

I had a really well thought out idea about Cater being able to see a limited amount into the future before I realized that I was describing the sharingan from Naruto so fuck me I guess.

So just hear me out, you know in twst battles you can see at least one of spells the enemy is going to use? That's sort of what I thought Yuu's unique magic would be if they had it, but I also like the idea of it being Cater! Yutu's. It would function more like an instinct than an actual vision (*clenches fist* just like naruto) but he can use his magic to tell what a person intends to do before they fully think it. Cater is skilled at divination so a unique magic that lets his kid see a little bit of the future feels like it could work for him.

Speaking of divination, I sort of also like the idea of Cater! Yutu having a magic that has something to do with stars and starlight. Maybe he can turn into a void like being made of cosmic energy, similar to how Cater's Split Card is symbolic of his many faces, Yutu's void form could be symbolic of how he feels displaced in the world.

Ace! Yutu

We don't know what Ace's unique magic is (yet) but there are a lot of theories. Time travel, something that steals another person's spell, something related to optical illusions?

I think it would be fun if Ace! Yutu could do something with reflections/mirrors. As in he can reach through mirror and attack, similar to how Hanged Man works in JoJo. The further the distance the more magic it takes, it can also work with things like water but that takes a lot more magic too.

Either that or he's able to travel between mirrors on his own without the dark mirror. That might be a much more difficult thing to do though...

Jade! Yutu

I have a very clear idea for what I wanted to do with Jade! Yutu's magic, but it's a bit complicated to explain because I'm not a physicist.

The basic idea was that Yutu is able to exert magical force on an object, so long as he knows it's exact dimensions and what it is made of. I called it "Crush the Heart" because I wanted both his and Floyd's Yutus to have magic to follow their dad's naming theme. To activate it he has to be looking at where the object should be and picture it in his mind, the more precise the crush the more concentration, control, and magic it takes.

The name could in theory be quite literal, but Yutu isn't quite there yet in his knowledge of biology or magical control.

Floyd! Yutu

Like I said, I want the twin's Yutu's to have a name that is similar to their dad's. Floyd's Bind the Heart uses Kanji that literally translates to "coiling tail"... which I guess is more similar to the magic I gave Jade! Yutu than the "gnawing teeth" that Shock the Heart does, but that magic is supposed to be something that requires calm collected control, which Floyd and his son simply do not have. Still, lets play off that and give Floyd! Yutu a magic that has something to do with shocks and teeth.

I think Floyd! Yutu should have a taunt. Floyd already loves the idea of a good fight, his son is really good at combat magic, and they both talk so much shit that the idea of that literally being his unique magic just sort of works.

Functionally the spell would work similarly to Jamil's, where the person has to look him in the eyes for it to work. The name of the spell could be something like "Reveal the Heart" but that does sound sort of stupid to me so I'm not sold on it. The spell makes a person unable to focus on anyone other than Yutu and wares off after a certain amount of time, it can fail in fashion similar to Riddle's if the enemy mage has a protection spell up.

Azul! Yutu

Another Yutu who I know exactly what I wanted to do with, I got the idea while playing Darkest Dungeon of all things. I feel like it's a bit lame though.

Azul! Yutu can create phantom limbs out of cosmic magic. When he is in octopus form those limbs take the form of human arms, and when in human form they take the form of tentacles. He says when asked that what he is doing is manipulating shadows because he likes to keep people on their toes (or fins take your pick) and he finds it very funny to watch people squirm when they realize there really is no escaping his grasp.

It is a very difficult magic to use, he needs physical strength to use those limbs because they are only as strong as his real ones, so he works out and a lot to make sure he doesn't hurt himself while using it.

Ruggie! Yutu

Laugh With Me is a perfect magic for a hyena to have, and it suits Ruggie's personality really well. Actually... I did write that his Yutu shares his laugh and I think it would be so painfully cute if that extended to his Unique Magic too. Ruggie makes a big deal about how he's kind of a crappy mage, how he has to do a lot of extra work to make up for his low mana pool and poor upbringing. Can you imagine how embarrassed, proud, and awed he would be if his son inherited his spell? That's something only great mages are supposed to have, not little guys like him. Good thing neither Yuu or Yutu care about that huh?

Vil! Yutu

I haven't done a post about Vil! Yutu really beyond this bit about him bonding with Vil, but I did mention what I think his unique magic would be.

I can't find it but I read a myth once about a painter who drew animals with a magic paintbrush that would bring them to life if he gave them two eyes, so he only ever gave them one. I thought it would be neat to have a spell like that and it feels like something that would fit Yutu Schoenheit very well. His magic allows him to create temporary familiars similar to Lilia's bats, bigger creatures take more magic and focus.

I wrote the name for this spell as "Technicolor Dream" since I thought it would be nice for the name of Yutu's magic to nod towards his father's job and his dreams about having his family back.

I have a lot more Yutu's chilling in my inbox, so I'll revisit this topic (lilia! yutu has a whole ask about his um that I really like) once we are done with round 2 of Yutu posting.

[togansweep]

okay so here's a rough timeline to prove that succession did NOT take place over a few years, but in just one (very chaotic) year:

so S1E1 starts with logan's birthday, which is october 14.

the next date we know for sure is S1E5, because it's thanksgiving, so that's around the end of november.

I think it was brenna @toganvorce who calculated that the tomshiv wedding takes place on march 10.

in S2E1 kendall says "I've only been here like 48 hours," which makes it march 13 (since he went to iceland the day after the tomshiv wedding)

the rest of s2 is quite unclear (and I don't feel like looking into all the specific dates right now) but it probably takes place over around 2 months.

what we do know is that the time between S2E9 and S3E5 is only two-and-a-half weeks:

also remember that S3E1 begins on the same day that S2E10 ended!

the next canon date is caroline's wedding:

this means that season 3 ended on june 14th.

then there's a timejump of 4 months, because season 4 starts with logan's birthday again (october 14).

and there you have it! I probably missed some specific dates for other episodes but you get the gist with this I think.

#I had to make this because I was starting to get annoyed with people saying 'oh it's like 5 years' which doesn't make any sense #also jesse dude.... the timeline is pretty clear man #succession #hbo succession #vi's stuff

Total Drama's Wack Ass Timeline

Dawg how was Action supposedly filmed days after Island? That is insane

Anyway so. I have a fucked up timeline for my own work, bear with me here. Island and Action happen the same way they always did, back to back. (???) The Fake Production Company had plans for a third season, set to film that spring, but budget restraints put it on hiatus, so sad. The campers are left to their own devices. Tyler and LeShawna compete on other shows; Owen hawks questionable products on late night TV; the Drama Brothers have enough time to write two albums (something the ""official"" timeline seems to think can be done overnight). There's even enough time for Duncney to be a highly-publicized relationship with enough paper trail for there to be legal proceedings over a raccoon! Wow!

It all comes to a head that October, the year after TDI and TDA initially aired, and business is BOOMIN. These teens run the fucking world. Along with the Gemmy Awards (which I'm not basing on any real Gemmy or Emmy awards), the Celebrity Manhunt Special airs live. Even though they're permanently stuck as 16-year-olds in the minds of many viewers, most of the cast is now 17. Some of them are 18! Look at the babies growin up <3 So the show happens and-- surprise-- Season 3 is finally announced! Woo-hoo! But it obviously can't air immediately after Celebrity Manhunt, Chris and Chef don't even call it by the right title. (Which, irl, we can chalk up to the actual preproduction of the actual show-- crazy how things line up sometimes!) Filming for WT begins the following March, because of all things, I wanna keep Cody's April 1st birthday part of the show-- because I care about the integrity of canon THAT much guys.

But uhhhh yeah. WT airs that summer to rave reviews, ROTI's filming goes off without a hitch in the late summer/early fall, Chris goes to jail so All-Stars is delayed to the following year and RR films on pretty much the same schedule alongside it (it's a good year for Fake Production Company). Pahkitew Island films the following late spring/early summer, and finally, 15 years later (or however long they say it is in the new TDI intro), the Fake Production Company capitalizes on their former glory with a brand new crop of youngins and an old crop of Chris and Chef.

Whew

Tell me how much you love my timeline in the comments/reblogs <3 <3 <3

Me playing Tears of the Kingdom: As much as I miss the champions, it makes sense they're not mentioned much. It's been a hundred years since they died. Even if they survived the Calamity, most of them would probably be dead at this point. The only exception being Mipha, who would have been the only one that would still be alive if she survived the calamity due to her age. The reason they're still remembered so much in Breath of the Wild is because the Divine Beasts, one of the last remaining connections to them, are still active and looming in Hyrule. Impa also said that their spirits feel uneasy knowing their task of defeating the Calamity wasn't done. They were at peace when the Calamity was defeated and passed on. They're not brought up from that point on because them and their era are over and can be laid to rest.

Also me playing Tears of the Kingdom: - holding back tears - Damn I miss the champions

since ted is never mentioned/acknowledged at all really in npmd (excluding the homeless man mention) and it's set in 2020, it's not unreasonable to assume that it takes place in a timeline where ted did the time travel shenanigans in 2019 and ended up in 2004.

#meaning that pete lost his brother and two best friends within about a year #ted spankoffski #npmd #starkid #in theory tinky's line about having the whole set of spankoffskis also implies this #but you could argue that ted's presence in his toy box isn't affected by the timeline considering tinky exist outside of time and space #but at the same time then doesn't that mean tinky never gets pete in his toy box? #like if one pete from one timeline gets put in his toy box #doesn't that mean that no matter what he has a pete #and doesn't need npmd pete to complete his collection #so therefore he will never have a pete in his toy box from any timeline #does this even make sense. i'm so tired rn i cant think

Possible Tommy Kinard Timeline

tl;dr I think Tommy is in his mid-40s.

1977 - 1979: Possible birth years. 1994 - 1998: He'd join Army Aviation right out of high school, which was a six year commitment at the time (plus time for training). It potentially could have been 17 with a waiver and a GED? (There's also the possibility that he didn't complete his full commitment for some reason, which would knock a few years off.) ~25-26 when he's done. 2005: After that, he joins the LAFD, and he's there for at least a year, imo (since he isn't being treated like a probie) before Chimney Begins. ~26-28

2008: Hen joins the 118. ~29-31

2014: Bobby joins as Captain of the 118. ~35-37

2017: We're not actually told when Tommy transfers to Harbor; it's implied to be 2017, when Buck joins, but isn't stated. Let's say 2017. ~37-40

2024: And fast forward to 2024, when he'd be ~45-47.

That all said, I squished some of that down (the potential waiver thing, how long he'd been with the LAFD before Chimney joined), but I think it's plausible, especially if he didn't complete his commitment with the Army. I also didn't consider the possibility that his time in the Army was all in reserve service.

#tommy kinard #911 abc #the time between chimney begins #and the beginning of the show is just a LONG time #and honestly the show itself doesn't seem to treat it like that long has passed #anyway maybe 9-1-1 works off marvel's compressed timeline #which tbh would make just as much sense #the actual answer here is that the writers do not care #which is very valid of them #also if tommy did serve under bobby for 3 years #like it's implied? idk it feels like the time bobby begins again covered was NOT three years long #they gave tommy a bit too much backstory #i like it all but i sorta care about continuity #although why? the writers clearly do not #i think they mean for him to be older than buck #but maybe not this much older than buck #although buck and age gap relationships are definitely a thing and i'm certainly not mad at it

yes, knives said "happy birthday" to vash. but I don't think he meant an actual date of july 21st. he said that because from his point of view, vash has been reborn and this is his literal day of birth

upd: wait hold on maybe I'm wrong, but why is the first episode set on May 25th then... I'm very confused now and don't know what's real anymore

#I just think that vash woud remember their birthday and it would've been specified #also it doesn't make sense timeline wise #thanks to reporter's car and the sandsteamer and ship 5 they reached july in a week or two #trigun #trigun stampede #vash the stampede #millions knives #trigun stampede spoilers

I do love how Jon Kent is one of those things which utterly fucks over the DC timeline.

Like. Jon cannot have been born before Reign of the Supermen without making some major retcons to Death and to Lois's deal throughout that story.

Jon Kent was 10 before any time warping shenanigans got involved.

Kon El was Superman/Superboy at the time of Reign (meaning he appeared at this time).

Kon El has to have been around for at least ten years.

Unless we make major edits to the timeline Kon and YJ all have to have been around for around 10 years.

Kon and YJ all have to be in their 20s at least.

#There are some cheat cards on Kon #He did not age for a while when he was 16. #But... even then unless you put him a generation before the rest of YJ the rest of that team would still need to be in their 20s. #We know Death and Reign happened in current continuity. #dc comics #superboy #dccomics #comics #Superman #DC Timeline #DC thoughts #Kon El #Jon Kent #Jonathon Kent #The thing as well is that also fucks up the current 'Kon erased from Continuity thing'. #Unless we assume Reign happened completely different it doesn't really make sense. #And we know Reign did happen sooo... #Dc Superman #Reign off the Supermen #Death of Superman #Essentially it just means the timeline is fucked up. #But also whether Kon's continuity is erased is pretty unclear. #Like it is in the Ongoing... but it doesn't seem to be in Action Comics or other stuff. #Essentially very fucked up continuity because seems like everybody is a little unsure what was restored by Death Metal and Rebirth.

oh, look, the second file is here! don't you want to open it? i wonder how the prisoners have been doing lately..

Female Prisoner A: .. Is everybody here?

Male Prisoner A: Yep, I don't think we've forgotten anyone.

Male Prisoner A: Right?

Female Prisoner B: .. I didn't have much of a choice.

Male Prisoner B: I wanted to know more about [REDACTED]'s plan. So of course I came.

Male Prisoner C: .. I need to get out of here. 

Male Prisoner C: It's either dying or getting out of here. The first option didn't work, so..

Male Prisoner C: .. I'm going with the second one.

Male Prisoner B: ...

Male Prisoner D: I just came because [REDACTED] is also here. 

Male Prisoner D: I don't really care about getting out of here, rebelling and all that shit.

Male Prisoner B: Your parents are probably worried about you though.

Male Prisoner D: ...

Female Prisoner B: Wow, [REDACTED], thank you very much for reminding us that you're the only one here who has a normal relationship with his family.

Male Prisoner B: I-it's not my fault your families suck!

Female Prisoner A: Calm down.

Female Prisoner A: We have to stay quiet. They're too busy figuring out what's wrong with [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], but they can still show up at any moment.

Male Prisoner D: !

Male Prisoner A: Hey, hey, it's okay. She's not here. She's not gonna hurt you.

Male Prisoner D: .. I-it's not like I'm scared or anything..

Female Prisoner A: So, everyone still has those.. uh..

Female Prisoner A: Christmas presents, right?

Female Prisoner B: Is that why you called all of us here?!

Female Prisoner A: It's important.

(sounds of prisoners putting their presents on the table)

Female Prisoner A: Great. Okay, we will need these, so please, make sure you don't lose them.

Female Prisoner B: Sure, whatever, but what am I supposed to do with mine-

Female Prisoner A: We'll talk about it later.

Female Prisoner A: Um.. [REDACTED]. You're the only exception here, so..

Female Prisoner A: It's okay. I know something that only you will be able to do.

Female Prisoner A: Anyway, let's talk about [REDACTED]'s present first.

Female Prisoner A: [REDACTED], you're not really that suspicious and you don't have a particularly bad reputation in this place. Actually, you've been getting better lately.

Female Prisoner A: I think you're the one who suits the best for this role-

Male Prisoner D: He's just so mid that nobody ever pays attention to him, so yeah, he's perfect for this job.

Male Prisoner B: Oh yeah? Go on, try to be our spy, if you can. Surely they won't think something weird is going on when they see a [REDACTED] running around and [REDACTED] when all he usually does is [REDACTED] and [REDACTED].

Male Prisoner B: And your precious [REDACTED] is going to be so worried..

Male Prisoner D: SHUT UP! 

Male Prisoner A: Shh, remember that we're supposed to be quiet~

Female Prisoner A: So.. I think you understand what I want you to do. 

Male Prisoner B: I'll do my best. If I see or hear anything, I will write it down.

Female Prisoner A: Thank you. Now, [REDACTED]..

Female Prisoner A: Your present will be very useful to us. You're good at distracting people and getting their attention, right?

Male Prisoner A: I sure am~

Female Prisoner A: I'm trying to think of the best time to use this..

Female Prisoner A: Ah, I know. Do you think you can [REDACTED] when [REDACTED]'s interrogation will start?

Male Prisoner A: Hm.. But what about my cell? The doors will probably be locked.

Female Prisoner A: You can ask [REDACTED] to keep your door open in case you need to get medicine or anything like that. 

Female Prisoner A: You're still recovering, right?

Male Prisoner A: Well, she will just offer to bring it herself then.

Female Prisoner A: I don't think so. [REDACTED] has.. changed.

Female Prisoner A: And she has been very busy lately, so..

Male Prisoner A: Hm, I see.. I'll do my best then~

Female Prisoner A: [REDACTED], it's still hidden inside your present, right?

Male Prisoner D: Yeah, let me just..

Male Prisoner D: Here.

Male Prisoner A: Thanks. Hey, this little guy is very useful. I think we should save him for later in case we'll need to hide something again.

Male Prisoner D: Only if you pay me first!

Male Prisoner A: Haha, sure, sure.

Female Prisoner A: Now, your present, [REDACTED]..

Female Prisoner A: It's fake, right?

Female Prisoner B: Definitely. I know [REDACTED]'s handwriting. It can't be a letter from her.

Female Prisoner B: Why the hell would they even give me a fake letter as a present? Are they mocking me-

Female Prisoner A: Maybe, but also..

Female Prisoner A: .. No. No, I'll stay quiet about this one for now.

Female Prisoner A: Anyway, can you ask [REDACTED] about it? I wonder if they are responsible for this or..

Female Prisoner A: .. Someone else is.

Female Prisoner B: I swear, if [REDACTED] wrote this, I am going to-

Male Prisoner A: Now, now, [REDACTED], this is the third trial and you've been getting nothing but [REDACTED], are you sure you want to ruin your reputation even more?

Female Prisoner B: .. Who cares, I am going to get out of here anyway.

Female Prisoner A: And now.. [REDACTED].

Female Prisoner A: Your present is not here, because..

Male Prisoner B: [REDACTED]..

Female Prisoner A: I know. Sorry.

Female Prisoner A: Still.. Do you think you can [REDACTED]? You seem to be close with her.

Female Prisoner A: Or, how should I put it..

Female Prisoner B: You're her type.

Male Prisoner C: .. Ahaha..

Male Prisoner C: .. Sure, I guess..

Male Prisoner C: .. It's not like I can do anything else in my current condition.

Female Prisoner A: And finally, my own present.

Female Prisoner A: I will use it to record everything I find suspicious, however, if you want, you can use it as well. Just tell me beforehand. No stealing, okay?

Female Prisoner B: Hey, can I use it for my interrogation? 

Female Prisoner B: .. I want to check something.

Female Prisoner A: Sure. I'll give it to you when they start interrogating everyone.

Female Prisoner B: Thanks.

Female Prisoner A: .. I think that's all. Thank you for coming, everyone.

(sounds of footsteps becoming more and more quiet)

Male Prisoner A: Hey. Good job.

Female Prisoner A: It's nothing. I'm just glad I've found people who hate this place as much as I do. 

Male Prisoner A: They hate it for a different reason though.

Female Prisoner A: And I don't care about their reasons. The only thing I care about is them wanting to change things. I just want them to fight. I want them to be ready to stand up for themselves.

Female Prisoner A: I wanted [REDACTED] to join us, but.. She's been acting really weird lately.

Male Prisoner A: Hey.. You're a really good leader actually.

Male Prisoner A: Though I shouldn't be surprised, haha-

Male Prisoner A: !

Female Prisoner A: Be careful with your words, Kei. 

Female Prisoner A: You're still recovering, right?

alright, question. because this post is getting very long.

i've still got a couple more pages left of this, and this is kinda the first time i've been adding onto a comic arc in real time on tumblr. so i'd just like to hear opinions

#my polls #back on twitter doing my comics as threads was no problem lol #but threads work a bit differently on tumblr yknow #so i figured i should probably switch up the way i'm going about this #because i was just kinda winging it #it started with a redraw/reimagining of a WAY older comic #and well. the stuff i've got posted so far is technically a redraw! just... it got way longer and there's more details now. more writing #anything beyond the current point will be a continuation of this scene #for this specific comic arc anyway #i work in arcs. they're kinda all over the timeline but also the arcs themselves are kinda self contained i guess? #but yeah i have at least three pages more. maybe four #maybe five we'll see where i go next #idk man it's a supernatural slice of life comic #it doesn't need chronological storytelling. #yes there's a canon timeline but i'm not writing it in that order yknow #i like putting it together. like a puzzle. slowly making it make sense as a full picture #ah i see i'm rambling #but anyway. opinions. how do tumblr comics

SPOILER FOR LEGOMONKIEKID SEASON 4

"Are you okay ?!"

Lmao no dog I just found out Macaque believes Sun Wukong willingly joined the forces of heaven and betrayed their sworn brotherhood 💔

#i dunno honestly it gets kind of muggy since on one hand azure i think says that wukong was like forced to be used as a pawn for heaven #like he thinks nezha is but then he goes on to say that wukong struck down there troops and betrayed them so like ?!?! #also no macaque doesnt flat out say he believes any of thsi ?? but he says in shadow play that Wukong left them and gained power and hes #wearing ghe circlet in the shadow play which i previously thought was just to differentate but im gonna infure hes refrencing the battle #against heaven and im guessing he means he acknowledges that wukong wad defeated like the rest but ig doesn't understand why wukong stayed #with the pilgrams like he believes he had a choicenon the jttw which he kinda did but kind didnt i dunno #also the timeline is so confusing like did SWK get trapped under thst miuntain or not ?! #i suspect that DBK takes SWKS place in that sense since i think DBKS stuck under that mountian for 500 yrs but im not sure #i think it makes the most sense that he didnt get stuvk under that mountain but hmm #lego monkie kid #legomonkiekid #lmk #lmk s4 #also thsi means everythings judt a huge misunderstanding and that i was right all alone im number 1

[br1ghtestlight]

is it unpopular to say i really dont want the bob's burgers kids to age up 😭😭 people always say they want that but WHY it would just be weird after 13 seasons and it wouldn't change much about the show except tina would be in high school (which would be really annoying to write around for school-focused episodes) like they wouldn't look different or act different and it'd give the whole show a weird vibe bcuz now we gotta decide what christmas or thanksgiving episode is "canon" since apparently they started aging. honestly thats like the definition of jumping the shark it adds nothing to the show and makes things much more complicated imo like they might as well have another baby or adopt a dog at that point. actually wait nvm it'd be kinda cute if they adopted a dog that would be fine. but it REALLY really would not add anything if they aged up or develop them in anyway like why not age them up 5 years at that point right.... bcuz it'd be weird + offputting for the tone of rhe show (and the simpsons got away with not aging their characters for wayy longer)

#also i feel like we already KNOW they aren't going to age characters up for season 14 bcuz we know some episode plots etc #and who knows how many seasons there are gonna be after that #not to mention i dont think anyone on the crew even wants to do that but like its just a bad idea sorry 😭😭😭 #doesn't even make sense and makes the timeline of events even MORE complicated #txt #bob's burgers

Hello and welcome to my meltdown about Subnautica's timeline!

Okay; for context: I'm writing a fic in which Ryley Robinson, my blorbiest of blorbos, hitch-hikes a ride with Robin to escape Alterra (Robin doesn't know this). And I, in ignorance, set this to take place five years after their departure from 4546B.

And then I looked on the wiki and found out that apparently Below Zero is set two years after Subnautica??? I went like 'huh, guess I'm canon-divergencing harder than I thought' and went to construct my timeline in-between the games in detail like any normal person writing gay subnautica fanfiction, and WHAT I DISCOVERED WILL SHOCK YOU!!!

(Disclaimer: the two years figure is from the Wiki and I couldn't find a source for it. So either someone invented it or the devs didn't pay attention to their own lore.)

In this essay I will explain why it is impossible that Below Zero takes place two years after the end of Subnautica!

The Aurora was at 4546B to install a phasegate in that part of space, something that would have been a really big deal because it would have made a far-away part of the universe accessible. They weren't able to, because of giant gun.

The Aurora will travel from spacedock on the edge of Alterra space, making hundreds of consecutive phasegate jumps through nine different trans-gov authorities, and arrive on the far side of the Ariadne Arm in three months' time. From there the command crew will pilot the ship beyond the final phasegate, arriving in the next solar system approximately 18 months later.

~ Databank entry: “Alterra Launches the Aurora”

So in total, the Aurora took 21 months, almost two years, to arrive at 4546B. And Alterra sent the rocket because they could only meet Ryley halfway. Let's say that 'halfway' is halfway from the last phasegate. So logically, since the Aurora launched from the edge of Alterra space, Alterra's rescue ships would also need to make those hundreds of phasegate jumps, which took the Aurora three months. I'm going to assume that the rescue ships are smaller than the Aurora and thus possibly faster, taking 2 months for the jumps.

Then, with a faster ship, they would maybe only need 14 months where the Aurora took 18. Half of that makes 7 months, for a total of 9 months at the earliest when they could meet up with Ryley. Since the Neptune would also need about 7 months to get to the halfway-point (yes, this means Ryley had to spend 7 months cooped up in that small-ass rocket. Best have brought enough rations when leaving 4546B!), this assumes that Ryley only took two months to cure themselves and build the rocket. If they took any longer, you'd have to add that time on top of everything.

So at 9 months, Ryley meets the rescue ships. I'm going to say that the post-credit cutscene was PDA-generated bs and Ryley was very much allowed to come aboard although they owe Alterra 'a trillion credits'. Since I doubt Alterra would send high-ranking personnel into the ass of space where a kilometre-long capital ship, top technology, got fucking obliterated, Ryley only gets interrogated 9 months later, when they have been brought back to Alterra space.

We're at 18 months now.

Now, let's say Alterra goes like 'Huh, interesting planet and cured plague, shut-off gun! Let's investigate!'. The journey back to 4546B takes at least 16 more months if the ship is fast as fuck, so I'm going to push that up to 18 months since a ship loaded with materials and scientific equipment would need to be larger and thus slower. Since the non-realised construction of the phasegate was a multi-trillion credit investment (source: same databank entry as cited above), I'm going to propose that Alterra doesn't care about a small, far-away planet enough to risk bankrupting themselves for another phasegate, no matter how mineral-rich it is on the surface. They're interested in studying any remnants of Kharaa and also claiming the planet symbolically by staying there for an extended period of time and 'setting up base'.

We are at a total of 36 months. Which is three years. Three years and Alterra has just barely arrived at 4546B again.

How did the game arrive at two years??? Even if Ryley were questioned the second they step foot on the rescue ship, and Alterra immediately launches the crew that'll be stationed in Sector Zero, that makes 9+18 months, which is 27! More than two years and the crew has just arrived!

And then the story of Below Zero is also too complex to have taken place in a matter of days, so I would give it at least a few months, maybe like 4, which makes 31. And then Robin will have to undertake that same long journey, although she might not have to start all the way back in Alterra space, but it would take her 5 months at least!! And that's three years again!

The timeline doesn't even add up if a phasegate is constructed. Because let's say that along with the rescue ships, a ship capable of carrying all the materials and equipment necessary of phasegate construction is sent off. It would need to be of a similar calibre to the Aurora and would also take like 21 months to arrive at 4546B. From the same databank entry I've already mentioned like twice, we know that construction (for the Aurora), would take 6 months. So it would take this new ship at least that long, too, for a total of... 27 months! More than two years! Again! And this is also the earliest possible point that the research crew can arrive. So in the end, if we give the events of the story a couple of months, we are at 31 months again, and a couple of months for Robin to arrive, three years!

Now, there is one concern I want to address: the Sunbeam. "If it would take the rescue ships 16 months to arrive at 4546B, how come the Sunbeam arrives pretty early in a playthrough?", you might ask.

And fret not, for I have come up with a solution! We know that the closest phasegate from 4546B is 18 months by Aurora away. However, this says nothing about space-stations without phasegates. Quinn says that they're from a small trans-gov in Andromeda. Now, we don't know where Andromeda is located and what its relation to the Ariadne Arm, which 4546B is situated in, is, but since it's a trans-gov we do know that they own and operate at least one phasegate. It would make sense for that to be the closest, 18 months away from the Ariadne Arm. However, the Sunbeam could have been in the area delivering cargo to a space station without a phasegate.

The Ariadne Arm itself, is supposedly uninhabited, seeing as the databank entry claims the construction of the phasegate will expand inhabited space, but this could be an exaggeration or 4546B might simply not be too far into the uninhabited Ariadne Arm. Or both!

In conclusion, while it is possible to invent a plausbile explanation for the presence of the Sunbeam, there is no plausible explanation for Below Zero being able to take place just two years after Ryley's escape (that I could come up with). The only thing I can think of is that maybe the Mongolians or some other trans-gov built a spacegate in the vicinity, eliminating the 6 months construction time in the phasegate calculation, but this is somewhat of a stretch, since the earliest with that is 25 months. Now this figure would look quite good, but it doesn't account for the fact that the Mongolians wouldn't have built a phasegate right in front of 4546B, because if they had, they would have claimed the planet, and as we can see through the Alterra domination of it, they didn't. So there is inevitably some travel time which adds up to those 25 months. Not to mention that with relatively high likelihood, the new phasegate wouldn't be accessible through the last phasegate before 4546B, since everything we have seen implies that phasegates form tunnels, with two making a pair and having sole access to each other.

In the end, I think my figure of 5 years, 60 months, is much more realistic. It gives ample time for research proceedings and relationship development within the research crew, as we have seen exists. With this calculation, it takes Robin maybe (since she is traveling on a small, lightweight and fast ship) 14 months to get to 4546B, and from Lil asking her kids to send her art, we know that a form of fast-ish digital communication probably exists (although messages are probably inspected and need approval before send-off, meaning the reason we only get Sam's messages on entry to 4546B might be that some simply weren't sent), so she could have left immediately after learning of Sam's death. It taking this much time also explains how calm she is in the game: she's had a lot of time to process.

That brings us up to 50 months, leaving a 10 month window for any research crew bonding. This actually looks rather tight considering Alterra shipped an investigator to 4546B, but said investigator might have left shortly before Robin arrived, so that gives a larger time frame for her.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk! :D
