#an evident lie

[hyperfixatinator]

I have a DP x DC AU brainworm about Danny and Tim being long lost siblings (twins or otherwise).

Because both of them have faced evil future versions of themselves who've almost ended the world in some way through altering time. If Clockwork had been watching Danny's world-ending timelines, then who's to say he wouldn't keep tabs on Tim's as well?

Imagine that the brothers had to be temporarily separated at a young age to ensure a peaceful future. Danny had to be in Amity Park to gain his ghost powers and become the new Ghost King. Meanwhile, Tim had to stay in Gothem to become the new Robin, something he'd have been less likely to do if Danny stayed in his life.

However, their separation was only supposed to be temporary. What if both Dan and Future Tim were from futures where they never reunited as teens? Heck, what if both of them were from the SAME future?

The Nasty Burger explosion happened, Danny killed Vlad and absorbed his soul, and became Dan. Dan grew too powerful for the GIW to handle anymore, so the government tried reaching out to the Justice League. But oops! Future Tim already killed off and tore down that whole organization, meaning the world no longer had it's protectors to stop this new foe.

Though they were strangers, the future brothers unwittingly collaborated in sealing the world's fate.

Back to the present, the Observants wanted Clockwork to get rid of Danny and also Tim before that timeline came to pass. What they didn't understand was Clockwork's plan.

See, the Infinite Realms needed a new monarch to replace Pariah Dark, but not just anyone would do. In timelines outside of Dan's future, the U.S government would've started a war with the Infinite Realms anyway. One that would guarantee Earth's destruction and offset the balance of other realms near it.

The war is set to start in Amity Park, but the information blackout is preventing it's citizens from getting outside help. Mid-to-late teen Danny can't bring down the Anti Ecto Acts alone. He'd be struggling to keep the Realms beings from invading his home as it is. And the government's iron grip on the city makes it nearly impossible for news to get out to the masses.

Danny being the brother of a vigilante detective across the country is another story.

Batman's mentorship would give Tim the training needed to eventually track down his lost sibling. And through Red Robin's connections to the Justice League, Danny could get help overturning the Anti Ecto Acts while he keeps declarations of war at bay on his end. Danny and Tim's combined efforts could be what's keeping the world at peace instead of ending it.

Long story short: Clockwork kills two birds with one stone by uniting a pair of long lost brothers through the prevention of an interdimensional war.

#dc x dp #dpxdc #danny fenton #tim drake #danny and tim are brothers AU #I personally like the headcanon of Tim vaguely remembering Danny's presence in their early childhood before he just disappeared #and the Drake parents (out of grief or guilt) gaslit Tim into believing Danny never existed #They thought it was a white lie that would help him move past it #but it actually became an early contributer of his self-doubt growing up #Grieving the foggy memories of someone you're supposed to doubt the existence of #Never sharing this with anyone in fear of someone calling you crazy for it #(Fearing they might be right) #((That fear doubling after the Joker Jr. incident if we include that)) #The need to gather and compile evidence supporting your thinking at a young age #because if the facts line up then that proves you know what you're talking about #Tim discovering he was right about his brother being real all along might not fix everything #but it'd probably be a relief at least

[fearandhatred]

instead of taking the fact that they only showed certain parts of the metatron and aziraphale talking to mean that aziraphale is omitting information. consider that those scenes are there instead to support what aziraphale is saying and prove that he's telling the truth. u feel me

#fearandhatred #fearandmeta #like. THE pivotal setting in the final fifteen is the bookshop. so why not take all the scenes in the bookshop to be the Main Scenes #the metatron scenes are just there as supporting evidence. maybe. perhaps #i could be wrong. fuck if i know #the lie theory might actually be getting to me #but i feel like i haven't seen this interpretation of those scenes yet which is crazy #nothing wrong with seeing both sides like chanel #because then either way you're only half wrong #good omens #good omens season 2 #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #crowley #aziraphale #THIS IS A QUEUED POST. i am asleep

Foolish outright lying when Tubbo presses him about the fed worker death message oh if anyone wasn’t certain he’s protecting Cellbit they can be damn sure of it now

#like this mf does not lie. he will dodge carefully. but to outright lie is significant #he doesn’t never do it yknow he lies to protect the cappy place and such but like #he lies by omission he doesn’t straight faced lie. like if you weren’t sure he’s 100% for protecting Cellbit yet #this would be the final cherry on top of the mountain of evidence lfkskfjsjf it’s just significant and I’m crazy about it #mcyt #qsmp #q!foolish #foolish gamers #q!tubbo #z speaks

I recently stumbled across a theory that Bee isn’t even the ORIGINAL Bee, she’s just a robot her father created to replace the real human Bee who presumably died years and years ago (Bee did say in the birthday episode that she got really sick one time, so there’s actual canon evidence to back this up). Honestly I really dig this one bc the angst potential is huge, it really fits into canon so well regarding Bee’s general behavior and how others view her. And her being a robot is already so isolating for her, but imagine if she’s just a replacement--that’d probably make her feel even more out of place than anything, which is why she connects with Puppycat so well.

Also tying this into the reboot, if the Bee that Puppycat babysat for a day was the original human Bee, that would make things SO sad. Imagine being on the run in a “monstrous” form for years and finally returning to one of the planets you feel safe to hide on...only to find out that the girl you once looked after is dead and has been replaced with a robot. And that robot is well aware that her entire existence is a feeble attempt at preserving what once was, that she’s not human, that she’ll never live up to the original human version of herself. Oof.

Maybe Puppycat originally decided to stay with her out of pity, but over time grew to really care about her as her own person. And I feel like Bee would definitely appreciate that 🥺

#I LOVE this idea tbh. Also Bee knowing that she's a replacement and when she refers to the time she got sick #She really means the original human Bee that got sick and passed away #Bee and Puppycat #BAPC #Bee #Puppycat #BAPC Lazy in Space #Bee and Puppycat Lazy in Space #Also this validates my Bee/Space Outlaw ship which was previously invalidated by the new reboot. LMAO #And this theory provides even more fuel to the angst fire AND ties Bee and Puppycat even closer together. #Puppycat would probably be upset on Bee's behalf at how she's a 'replacement' but he also grows very protective of her #Bc he knows what that's like. He knows what it's like to live a lie #Shima speaks #IDK I just really vibe with this one. And it COULD be a probable thing in canon too like there's no real evidence to dispute it yet

Alastor's Deal (Thoughts, Theories, and some Predictions)

This won't answer the who, but aims to dig into the why, and plausibly narrow down the terms of the deal. Long post ahead!

Evidence

First off, the finale was incredible! But what Alastor's song showed was that his ""death"" against Adam wasn't entirely a surprise, but rather planned. Alastor's song revealed that he was looking for a loop in the contract, a way to slip past the deal without having to directly break it. He already made a deal with Charlie for a favour, but that might have been a safety net of sorts, something to guarantee himself a fighting chance if his "dying for the hotel" plan failed.

His surprise was at how fast it happened, not that he nearly died. Alastor craves control, he wears his smile for control, he makes deals for control, his magic highly influenced by controlling others too. His Modus Operandi is control, and he faced the battle it started with him being in control. He was outwitting Adam, he was faster, sneakier, even kept his hands behind his back while dodging just to show how little effort it took. But Adam's weapon sending an angelic beam of power? That wasn't in his plan, that wasn't in his control.

Control is something Alastor seeks over everything, which is why the deal is so brutal for him. The deal takes control from him, and his constant smiling and jokes and contained urges for violence is him trying to have some sort of freedom. It's highly implied that, unless it's for the hotel, he hasn't used his magic for his own reasons. He hasn't eaten or killed anyone unless it is for the hotel, and even that was implied to happen only during the Mimzy incident. He hasn't gotten to make any deals either, at least no real deals, no deals for souls.

I'm far from the first one to say that his deal is forcing him to help the hotel, but it's only now that we see the true extent. Alastor's entire personality, goals, and being has been changed against his will. He is now a tool for the hotel, the sword and shield, the magical provider, bringing them whatever they need to succeed despite the odds. Without him, it would just be Charlie, Vaggie, and Angel Dust. Sir Pentious wouldn't have joined, repairs would've taken far longer, the staff would've been just Charlie and Vaggie, et cetera. Even his deals are just him trying to gain something out of helping the hotel.

Alastor is bound to the hotel and his powers are also bound to the hotel. He cannot be selfish, he cannot do anything unless it's for the hotel no matter how desperately he wants to do otherwise. And yet it seems like his powers are limited too.

Alastor has immense levels of powers, so much that he was taking down a large portion of the angel army single handedly. Had Adam not been there, it's not outlandish to claim that Alastor could have taken down the angel army by himself. This is why he was feared. This is why "no one crosses the radio demon". If these are his powers when their limited, imagine just how powerful he truly is?

The last evidence I'll state before moving on is that Alastor didn't return back to the hotel until it was rebuilt, yet still didn't use his magic to cause chaos.

To simplify, on his end the deal forces him to use his immense power for the benefit of the hotel. He cannot actively do anything to bring harm to it, and he cannot use his magic unless it's for the good of the hotel. And he cannot escape from the deal if the hotel is destroyed, so the deal isn't about the physical hotel, but rather the concept of it. As long as the hazbin hotel exists in the heart of those involved, Alastor is bound to help.

Why?

Now the why? I believe that, whoever he made the deal with him was, they want the hotel to succeed. Not only that, I believe that by forcing Alastor to stay there and help while limiting his capability for violence, they are also trying to rehabilitate Alastor.

Wherever Alastor was before the hotel opened, it was somewhere where he couldn't interact with anyone. He was forced to be gone, only until the hotel opened. If the theories of Alastor making a deal with Lilith is true, then Lilith's character is important to consider. From what we know she is powerful and worked to bring dekonkind together. And that she too disappeared 7 years ago.

It's confirmed that Alastor destroyed many of the worse evils that existed in hell, the only ancient overlords that remain are civil and take part of overlord meetings. They are controlled, contained. There's more structure, and the only truly out of control, dangerous demon to remain would have been Alastor. It's possible that Lilith realized that she could use him to "clean up hell", waiting her time until Alastor was the last remaining biggest threat. That was when she pounced, seven years ago to capture him in a deal. We don't know why he would accept such a limiting deal, but I'd wager that it could have been for his life (either she was threatening him, or he nearly died and made a deal for his life).

Now that the deal is made, Alastor can't bring mindless chaos. If anything he is doing the most to help demons be saved from the extermination either through redemption or protection (we also didn't see him prior to the last, so perhaps he's also bound to protect during the extermination too?).

All while Alastor is handling and ensuring the success of the largest and most helpful demon-centered support system, Lilith is on vacation. Almost like Alastor is acting in her role, a mimicry of a spiritual successor of sorts. He's helping rally the demons together, helping shape Charlie into a better leader, helping prove demons can be redeemed. All while Alastor is either witness, participant, or manager of the strategies used to redeem sinners. Alastor is only a few steps away from taking part of the redemption program himself.

If Alastor's deal was with Lilith, then she's getting everything she could want. All the uncontrollable evils/overlords destroyed, a muzzle on (one of the most) powerful sadistic demons, someone to help guide her daughter, help demons redeem themselves, protection for her citizens from being killed or further tortured, and she finally gets a vacation. She'd be getting everything she could want, with the bonus of possibly rehabilitating Alastor in the process.

It's no wonder Alastor is so desperate to break out of the deal, to find a backdoor in the contract. This goes against everything he stands for. The stories of him broadcasting screams? Of killing overloards and owning soul after soul after soul? That is the real him, and it isn't exaggerated. If Alastor wasn't chained, he'd have the power and strength to destroy large swaths of hell himself. If he decided to do his own extermination with angelic weapons? He could kill as many demons as the angels do and more, because he wouldn't be limited by a single day period.

If his deal is with someone else? We simply don't have enough information yet to name them then. Whoever it is, they would have to believe in demonkind's potential for improvement, and possibly fear what Alastor is able to do.

Predictions

The last thing I want to touch upon is how Alastor might be able to escape the deal. First is what he tried, which is "dying" for the hotel. Or, more precisely, for everyone involved in the hotel, it was as if he died, so why would they still depend on him?

Next would be for the hotel to be destroyed, and considering that we don't know if Alastor was briefly free while he recovered or if he was just hiding out somewhere new because he couldn't stay in the hotel because it didn't exist, this one is still iffy. If part of his deal is staying at the hotel to actively protect it, the he was temporarily freed from that condition. Yet once it was rebuilt Alastor returned, proving that the destruction of the hotel building wouldn't free him.

The next possible way could be the death of the hazbin hotel spirit. If Alastor (or outside forces) were able to destroy Charlie's hope for the hotel just like Lucifer's dreams were crushed, perhaps Alastor would be freed. Considering how the finale went, it would take a lot for this to happen.

My final idea, and the one I predict will happen, is that Alastor outfits the person he made the deal with. He doesn't find a true "out", but rather will manipulate them into giving his power back. And this? I believe that Alastor's deal with Charlie was made for this reason.

If indeed the deal was with Lilith, and part of the deal seems to be ensuring Charlie's dreams come true, then Charlie is a delightful way for Alastor to manipulate the situation. How? Who knows, but I think that this will be a large part of the conflict of season 2.

I have never wanted to tell almost a whole entire fandom "I told you so", more in my entire life then I do at this exact moment!

( ⚠️Percy Jackson TV show spoilers under the cut! ⚠️)

The whole conversation between Grover, Chiron and Mr.D that happens outside of Percy’s POV in episode 2? Yeah, we’re gonna talk about that for a minute.

Because all I’ve been hearing and seeing from most people in the fandom now is that Chiron would "never lie to Percy". Well now we have explicit proof that Chiron was lying to Percy and was genuinely upset at the suggestion of just telling Percy very critical things that Percy should know!

Then let’s get to the fact that Chiron absolutely knew that Percy was at least Poseidons son, and that he knew that Percy would be the one to go on that quest for the bolt! And this whole conversation happens before Percy is claimed by Poseidon at capture the flag!!

If Chiron and the Gods aren’t allowing Percy to know things that he need to, or should know… how many other demigods have they done that to?

How many had Chiron sent off on quests only for them never to come back because they didn’t know what they needed to know??? Chiron isn’t this nice and friendly entity that genuinely cares about those kids. He is someone put in place by the gods to keep the powerful demigods who could possibly overthrow them if they were powerful enough and knew enough, under surveillance and under their control. This is also probably why, in the books, Chiron told Grover to not worry about bringing Annabeth and Luke to camp and only bring back Thalia. Because he believed that a mere daughter of Athena or Son of Hermes wouldn’t be powerful enough to overthrow the gods.

Chiron is not this great guy! He lies to the demigods so much and doesn’t seem to spare a second thought to what he’s doing.

#I thought that it was pretty easy to tell in the books #but so many people just kept defending Chiron and the gods #only being able to see what Percy can or is allowed to see #but now that we have blatant evidence right here? #yeah I never want to hear tha Chiron would never lie to Percy ever again #I love the show so much already #percy jackson #chiron pjo #pjo #percy jackson tv series #percy jackon and the olympians #pjoverse

funny thing about yesterday tho was that I was half-watching Bad’s stream and half-watching Tubbo’s stream and when q!phil asked “do you want to confront him[Bad]?” and q!tubbo said yes, I said outloud to myself “oh he’s going to gaslight gatekeep girlboss the fuck out of you”

and I then proceeded to watch q!BBH gaslight gatekeep girlboss the fuck out of q!Tubbo. Well. I tried to warn him.

#tubbo is so correct and has so much evidence and somehow walked away from the confrontation having confirmed almost nothing #bad talked him in fucking circles I have NEVER seen him lie that hard #bad and Baghera were fighting for their fucking LIVES yesterday it was so fun to watch #well I say ‘lives’ but really q!Bad was fighting for his life and q!Baghera was also fighting for q!Bad’s life lmao #qsmp #qsmp liveblog but late #qsmp badboyhalo #qsmp tubbo #i need Bad and Tubbo to interact more PLEASE #they’re both so smart so calculated so interesting to watch when they go up against each other

One time on twitter I saw this totally bullshit “exposure/callout” thread on Jhonen Vasquez (it was so obviously false and stupid that it got zero attention) and yeah it was just a bunch of fake accusations with no valid looking evidence or sources. But. The thing that still gets me about it is that the person who made the thread was like a huge terf, so they decided to lie about Jhonen having a transgender wife. They spent like multiple tweets out of the entire thread just trash talking his nonexistent trans wife and calling her slurs. The only person who even bothered to give the thread any attention was obviously a friend/mutual of whoever posted it, who ALSO started shit talking Jhonen’s nonexistent trans wife. It was honestly fucking hilarious. I wish I could find it again but its likely lost to time/deleted, and I also don’t want to start internet beef with the type of person chronically online enough to dig up old photos of people to support fake accusations against a cartoonist.

#tw transphobes #tw transphobia #they dug up some really old pics of Jhonen for it though #how chronically online do you have to be #also funny as hell bc Jhonen isn’t married and is very vocal abt it #like all that effort to lie about something so easily disproven #jhonen vasquez #invader zim #sorry about this random ass post I’ve been rewatching iz and it reminded me of this #oh the accusations were s/a against women in the workplace I believe?? #but little evidence. it was like. #a cropped screenshot of a live journal post the person could have easily written themselves #and then they went on to accuse him of other less serious shit #and then just started bashing his trans wife that doesn’t exist

I wrote a new Les Mis fanfiction, in a Victor-Hugo-inspired writing style! The summary:

Jean Valjean, exhausted from the barricades and the sewer, somehow finds the strength to drag Javert out of the Seine. He has no strength left for anything else. The situation rapidly devolves into tragicomedy.

Inspired by a tumblr post from @ Alicedrawslesmis:

“Oh god can you imagine Valjean having to jump into the Seine to get Javert out? the man has had No sleep for the past idk 40 hours and just had to crawl through 5 miles of sewer carrying a dead body and thinks he’s going to lose everything to the law and then this fucking asshole jumps off a bridge? and he has to jump after him? and swim like an olympic athlete against the current to get the guy out of the water from the rapids? that’s too much. That’s just god fucking with him at this point.

Valjean pulls Javert out of the water and passes out from the exhaustion of the last two days and Javert is like ’…great. Now I have to drag this man back to his apartment AGAIN’ but Javert is also exhausted from the last two days so it’s just a comedy of errors”

Thanks to @shitpostingfromthebarricade and @fremedon for beta reading, and to @alicedrawslesmis and @valvertweek for the inspiration!

Here is the link! : D

might be alone in this, but I actually prefer essek being totally correct about the luxon not being a god more than any other theory. there's something so delicious in knowing you've proved evethying you'd always striven to prove, and then realizing that what you did to get there wasn't worth it. that you shouldn't have done it. to be totally vindicated, and have it not matter. to claim the title of the world's bestest, most smartest, rightest boy and realize it doesn't mean a damn thing

#essek thelyss #critical role #cr2 #love to think of essek finding out he was right thanks to some of the assembly's research and then having to admit it still isn't worth it #that he still regrets what he did #that it was still wrong #also would love to see him provide the evidence to the dynasty and watch it not change a damn thing #watch them either vanish the evidence or just ignore it entirely #I just think both of those things would be baller character moments for him #just absolutely fascinating to imagine #how do you deal when you prove it's all a lie and nothing changes? except your homeland maybe declaring you a heretic? #would just loooove to see how he copes #yes he's my blorbo yes I want to put him in the blender

If they didn't have in mind for Ted and Rebecca to get together in the end.. I'm wondering if they just never thought about her love interest at all (?), but why make such a big deal out of it?! Aka:

Why would they include this if the man they had in mind was just some random guy on a house boat of all places? Doesn't make sense to me, also doesn't play into the rom-communism mantra but that got lost along the line anyway...

this season is a mess..I enjoyed a lot of parts but it's a mess
