meme posts that got the poster sniped before they could actually post them to the earth bet internet

‘was anyone gonna tell me that glaciate, paracelsus, arsenal (the 2nd one), jack of diamonds, elevenses, equipster, hazeclank, exfil, breakneck (the 1st one), mirkwood, madcap, and assault are all actually the same person or i was i just supposed to find that out from my cousin who works at watchdog having a breakdown and getting blackout drunk’ 

see also ‘was anyone gonna tell me that assault, accord, marquis, panacea, regent, and that new member of the s9 are all closely related or was i supposed to find that out from my cousin who works at watchdog and is currently passed out in my bathroom’ (he is not passed out that was the poison taking effect) 

#disclaimer this is about the version of earth bet that lives in my head that has very little to do with canon and a lot more to do with #years worth of highly-tangled personal canons for dozens and dozens of works as well as original settings i have had for decades and the #massive cast of characters that inhabit it some of whom i decide to tie canonish characters to for various reasons including but not #limited to 'honoring a random dream' among other stuff #no i will never do a deep dive of any of this only mention the iceberg in passing #fun fact: yeah the suits call the role knave instead of jack. or at least they sure do by the 2010s. guess why #average indie cape on lasts a few months factoid is actually a statistical error. capenames georg who has been in the business for years an #adn has had over a dozen separate cape identities is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted #said i wasnt gonna elaborate but i do want to clarify this is not a poison apple situation. these are all completely separate cape personas #operating in different regions over the years each with different mannerisms seemingly different physical traits and powers and #different alignments to boots (notably glaciate; arsenal 2; and jack of diamonds were heroes; madcap #was outright villainous obvs as was breakneck; equipster was officially a villain after awhile and exfil was a very murky merc. paracelsus #was a rogue but with a very positive track record; hazeclank and elevenses rogues aswell #mirkwood was an outlier within the outlier as no one ever got a read on what was going on there. and assault is a hero obvs)
