The 7th

When the Wizard explained to Billy about his powers he forgot to mention that the Champion of Magic had a seventh patron who would manifest in his greatest moments of need. Although this one did not count as "official" since he was not exactly sharing his powers like the others.

So it's understandable that Billy would freak out at the new voice in his head telling him to steal a sandwich from one of the rude people on the subway.

Billy tried to argue with the voice about it since his parents had taught him all about good and evil but it had been a few days since his conversation with the Wizard Shazam and it had been weeks since his last decent meal other than leftovers. The Sandwich was packed and its owner wasn't paying attention, one little slip and he would have something in his stomach.

Solomon was very upset with the new voice, he was fully aware of who was talking and thought that he had left after the disaster with Adam but apparently the Ghost King had taken an interest in "The New Champion", Solomon had suspicions that it was because Billy was a kid.

The new voice introduced himself as "Phantom", he argued a lot with Solomon, didn't seem to have any moral and Zeus always muttered about his older brother's annoying best friend whenever he manifested. The boy did not know who the new God was but at least he gave good life advice. Or he liked to think so.

Phantom had many arguments with the other immortals, Hercules complained about his friendship with Kronos (which the boy found worrying but decided not to comment), Salomon about his recklessness, Atlas and Achilles bothered him constantly and Mercury kept challenging him to races. But it seemed that thanks to him everyone had become interested not only in helping Captain Marvel but also Billy!

Phantom even had a lot of good advices on being a young hero or keeping his secret from the League and for the first time since he got his powers Billy didn't feel so lost.

i stand by that a better, more sensible, and more intriguing plot for TSATS would have been, instead of retconning literally everything:

Bob is dead (because he was very explicitly absorbed/killed by Tartarus Himself in House of Hades, alongside Damasen), and nobody is going into Tartarus to save him. He made his sacrifice and is gone. However. Remember how the Titans, including Bob, were just kind of kicking around for several years? Particularly. On a cruise ship full of mortals. And Bob happened to be kicking around in general for an extra year versus all the other Titans. And he mythologically sometimes has a mortal demigod son who partook in the Calydonian Boar Hunt (Dryas of Calydon). Yeah.

So turns out, Bob/Iapetus leaves behind a demigod (demititan?) child. And because Nico was pretty much his only friend, he named Nico his child's godfather. And while he's not being left in charge of the child, as a son of Hades and godfather to this kid, Nico is duty-bound to fulfill Bob's last will and go find this like 2 year old to make sure they're safe. So Nico has to undertake this very unusual quest (that raises many questions, such as "demititans are a thing?" and "DOES THIS MEAN THERE'S POTENTIALLY MORE-?!" and "SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED ABOUT THIS?") and is kind of freaking out because. He's the son of Hades! He's notoriously bad with living things, and animals, and definitely small children! Even if he does find this kid and assure they're safe, he is the last person who should be undergoing any kind of quest involving even potentially having to babysit. Fortunately, his boyfriend is the human embodiment of sunshine and calmness and good vibes, and also once helped a nymph give birth, so he feels Marginally More Confident in theoretical demititan babysitting and offers to come along on this Epic Journey of Figuring Out What In Hades' Name Is Up With This Demititan Baby Business.

Proceed with wholesome epic shenanigans quest of Nico and Will scurrying around trying to locate this random OP baby while Nico has an existential crisis about the nature of his powers because he doesn't want to let Bob down! Both for Hades Kid Honor Reasons and because Bob was his friend! But what if he's destined to fail this quest just because of who he is? Because he's simply not built for hanging out with the living/mortals? And Will reassuring him that He Will Probably Not Traumatize The Weird OP Titan Baby And It'll Be Fine, and simultaneously getting a peek into the weird other life Nico leads hanging out with immortals much more than the average demigod, which Nico considers his norm. Bonus shenanigans of both of them getting caught off-guard and culture shocked from where each other's respective worlds (Nico's mostly-immortal versus Will's mostly-mortal) cross over and learning to navigate those for each other - Nico finally starting to make some mortal connections and get glimpses at modern mortal American life, and Will trying not to get his brain literally incinerated while Nico's happily casually catching up with some of his old friends who happen to be literal gods.

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #will solace #solangelo #long post //#LISTEN I JUST THINK WE DONT NEED TO BE RETCONNING THINGS WHEN THERE IS A HIGHLY INTRIGUING MYTH RIGHT THERE #listen. *listen.* Iapetus in myth has a demigod child? and we're in the series? that's all about demigods?#and had titans running around for 4 years? some primarily on a giant ship mostly full of mortals?#and Iapetus himself was running around for closer to like 5 years?#I AM JUST SAYING. that is enough time. and the right conditions. that there are perhaps demititans now.#that alone is a fascinating plot set-up that ties in basically all previous series inherently and has a reasonable starting point #of *course* Nico would be named Bob's child's godfather!#of *course* Nico would consider it a very important personal duty to see out Bob's final will and go on some quest about it!#and under those conditions it makes *perfect sense* for Nico to want to bring Will along! and that he would be very helpful on said quest!#bringing along a lot of skills and abilities in areas that Nico lacks! that are crucial for a quest like that!#also then immediately the plot becomes Will reassuring Nico about his powers being cool and not evil and him being spooky is okay #while Will is also trying to not literally have his brain melt cause Nico's casually introducing him to a trio of death gods or something #forgetting that Will cannot look upon a god's true form #and Will's dragging Nico across the US while Nico is struggling to keep up cause Will forgot that Nico's not American and not from that era #its cute! it's interesting! it immediately begs the question of a next-gen series focusing on a main cast of demititan kids #dont go back to Tartarus that's lame and overdone and ruins a ton of stuff. dont retcon everything that also ruins a ton #give us the fluffy roadtrip comedy that they clearly wanted to write instead anyways #you can even keep the elements of Nico feeling out of his depth and Will constantly on the verge of death. except it makes sense this time.#and it's kind of funny cause Nico's just freaking out over babysitting and it highlights how much tankier Nico is vs Will #even just in casual interactions. yeah Nico can casually look upon a god's true form. dont worry about it #meanwhile Will is slowly collecting sunglasses the entire trip and layering them up for whenever Nico introduces him to another deity

hc: everytime percy almost dies or miraculously recovers right before death or sees the god or survives smth that wouldve killed anyone else, he makes an offering to Thanatos basically going "sorry if i messed up your schedule again, hope you have a great day, am happily awating when you can actually collect me, bye!<3"

Thanatos considers them good friends, says it once in front of Hades, Persephone&Demeter(&through an amazing game of telephone, Poseidon gets told his Son is "making good friends with death" and Poseidon takes that to mean Percy is (1) almost dyinf even ore frequently than usual or (2) they are sarcastic and he is sassing thanatos&he(Than) does nOT appreciate it

Lmao, Poseidon is panicking, Thanatos when rescued in SON is just like "<3 bestie! How nice to see you <3 You doing good? How am I doing? Yeah just trapped here"

Percy does not realize Thanatos considers them good friends and is just confuzzled. He's happy Thanatos seems to think he's chill tho.

#anon asks #life answers #thanatos friendship au #mind you historically it was considered pointless to offer to thanatos #because he is the one God whose favor cannot be won in such a manner #or at all #death (Thanatos) is neutral #he is final and total #you cannot send him elsewhere #but for the purposes of this its basically percy offering offerings for #literally no reason in Thanatos' eyes #like yeah he says thanks but the kid wasn't dying anyways #so it's sweet <3 #what a nice friend of his!#he's kinda cute too-

I just think that............. *gestures wildly to how Harrow experiences attraction* you know??????

#as you could probably tell by my fanart today i am having a Night #this funky repressed nun chose the object of her worship to double as her imaginary gf #she cuddles her she calls her beloved she tries to make a move on her #all completely imaginary of course. she doesn't feel any of that but likes to imagine she can feel it.#the object of her worship is also the death of god the monster he defeated once but couldnt defeat twice who resides in a tom under her home #a tomb harrow herself was conceived at the price of 200 innocent children to keep shut #she is the symbol of harrow's power as a necromancer she is the proof harrow deserves to live even if the price was so horrible #and then there's ianthe who is also a brilliant necromancer. who understands attraction at the level harrow does and uses it against harrow #how the only two times harrow even considered giving in to ianthe was when she was either at the end of her rope and insanely powerless #or when she felt at the top of her game like the powerful necromancer she is supposed to be and somehow isn't anymore #their touching is always threatening and uncomfortable and makes her feel on edge #and then there's gideon who just. has nothing to do with any of that. gideon exists on a completely different level.#she reduces alecto to ''ice lolly bimbo'' and ''big slut'' and ''bullshit dead girlfriend'' without breaking a sweat #she forgives harrow everything. things harrow had no part in and things she had. it doesn't matter she forgives it all #she holds harrow's hand she hugs her she kisses her she is REAL and the FIRST PERSON TO EVER PROPERLY TOUCH HER WITH AFFECTION #and it stuns harrow so much she is incapable of even processing it. she completely shuts down every time. we dont know how she feels aboutit #just. harrow and attraction and desire. holy shit #tlt liveblog

Hold on because you’ve got me thinking now. DO we think Bishop’s change in Fast Foward is genuine?

I think it might be, at least partially. Largely because of the episode ”Head of State” where he endangers his own life to rescue Stockman from the lab explosion/fire, it seems to reflect some degree of genuine character development. Also, when he is strung up in front of the turtles and talking about his time spent kidnapping and experimenting on aliens, he states “that was a different time in my life, not one that I’m proud of,” and his expression/reactions really seem genuine.

BUT, during that same sequence when he tells the story of how Stockman “went too far” and caused the lab to blow up the first time, he seems to place a lot of unnecessary blame on Stockman and does not own up to his own misdoings, which Ralph calls him out on. So I’m really not sure?

This ask reminded me I had a similar one in the drafts I just,, forgot about,,, BUT yeah I honestly do not buy that President Bishop's change is fully genuine, and that's detailed a bit more in that ask!

I'll agree that the rescue is a big point in his favor, though. Given the circumstances, Bishop was just severely retraumatized (strapped down on a lab table, preparing to be dissected,) so given he was probably acting under severe stress, his actions could easily be read as genuine. I definitely think there are ways to spin it to fit the interpretation that he hasn't changed, which I tend to go with in my own writing (and as such I won't detail too much, spoilers!) but it's very plausible Bishop chose to rescue Stockman in an attempt to make up for everything he'd done to him before, too. As Trauma pointed out to me, Bishop's rescue of Stockman in that scene directly mirrors the alien rescuing him in that same episode's flashback. That suggests this is Bishop paying it forward, in some sense.

I will say I do not buy that his guilt is genuine when he's describing his past actions, I very much find that to be an act. He refuses to describe the actual contents of what he did or why what he did was wrong, and continuously distances himself with his language ("I was a different person" and so on.) Paired with the fact that he has no qualms blaming Stockman and detailing what he did wrong, like you said, it comes of as VERY manipulative, to me. These are the tactics of someone who wants to be forgiven but isn't sorry. If you've seen a youtuber apology you've seen all these moves before.

In terms of Bishop's expressions, I always come back to the fact that he's a politician, and likely has been for a good few decades. He's in the public eye, and the success of his goals now directly hinges on how other people percieve him. It seems very likely to me that he's developed the skills to lie and persuade and come off as genuine in response.

But that's just my two cents! Honestly while the interpretation that he's still a monster deep down is my personal preference, it really can be read either way. Given the tone of FF, I do think we were intended to just take his redemption at face value. It's just that it's so much more fun when he's a liar!

#agent bishop #tmnt 2003 #asks #also hello! 🫵 fellow Bishop stannie #what I CAN'T get over is why he pet Stockman. WHY'D HE DO THAT????#I can't. I can't make that one fit. by all accounts it doesn't make sense #the other fun detail to consider is if Bishop truly is still the same guy he must've been LIVID when Sh'Okanabo picked him up #I assume he allowed it to keep Sh'Okanabo monologuing. but oh my god did that guy just brush with death. he just picked up a live grenade #and he never realizes it

“Chapter 3: Avenger,” Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel (Vol. 1/2023), #1.

Writer: Saladin Ahmed; Penciler and Inker: Andrea Di Vito; Colorist: Edgar Delgado; Letterer: Ariana Maher

#Marvel #Marvel comics #Marvel 616 #Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel #Moon Knight comics #where’s Moony #Moon Knight #Marc Spector #Captain America #Steve Rogers #I never got around to posting this because of my perhaps disproportionate degree of Saltiness towards Zeb Wells’ handling #of this whole debacle #but ANYWAY #what Cap say here does however mean a whole ton to me personally #I know Marc’s probably just here to fulfill the ‘killer’ demographic quota but wouldn’t Frank Castle have been more emblematic of that?#but I guess it could be argued that the Punisher never really considered himself a hero #accordingly I might be completely delusional but I can’t help but think that despite Marc’s…past actions #he’s still a hero whose moral fibre is enough #to have Cap of all people at least passingly consider him to be something of a hero #the like of whom is thought of in the same strata as literal gods #(the same could be said about Peter and don’t get me wrong this Spidey fan is happy about that too #but Steve and Peter’s mutual respect has been established for decades [no matter WHAT stuff*ahem* current writers get up to]#whereas Cap and Moon Knight’s professional relationship is slightly less developed/recognized)#anyway yeah completely open to interpretation #I was just a bit surprised to find a Moon Knight reference here of all places

the flash should have ended with barry quitting his job at ccpd to become a stay-at-home husband and that's on that

#the fun part is it genuinely could have ended like that. i have no idea. still haven't watched it #NOBODY TELL ME BTW #THAT IS NOT ME ASKING FOR SPOILERS. I'LL GET TO IT #but honestly it's the only thing that makes sense. i have genuine reasons for this #namely: how the fuck is iris. an incredible but ordinary non-speedster woman. meant to look after a baby speedster #ordinary babies are already making it their life's mission to die. eating shit they shouldn't. rolling over and suffocating.#idk i don't know about kids but i know babies are breakable and will roll off tables and god knows what else #now imagine you have a toddler and she can literally move at hundreds of miles per hour #how the fuck was iris meant to cope?#i still maintain that when they did the 'she put a power dampener in nora' plot it should have been like. not a control thing #but also yeah. literally a control thing because HOW THE FUCK ELSE WAS SHE MEANT TO LOOK AFTER HER BABY #if barry is gone and she's a single mother. assuming no other speedsters are around to help her. what the fuck else was she meant to do?#of course she had to suppress her powers because how can you stop your toddler running into traffic if she can run 1000 times faster than u #how do you keep her in her crib at night if she can phase through the bars?#in that sense. yeah it's fucked up. but you can understand it. you can empathize. what other options did she have?#so yeah stay-at-home dad barry is the only thing that makes sense for genuine safety reasons #he is quite literally the only one who can keep up with the kids #they dropped the ball on nora is all i'm saying. again. fic that lives in my head where original nora's death actually means something #and we get a new nora who is ACTUALLY a different person. as she would be considering her whole upbringing was different #and she has to somehow live up to the memory of a version of her that was erased from time #part of barry and iris can't accept that that specific version of their daughter is gone and it's not her #THE ANGST POTENTIALLLL #in my head she doesn't even go by nora because she's like. THAT'S NOT ME. SHE DIED. WHY CAN'T YOU ACCEPT WHO I AM AND LOVE ME FOR ME #she goes by dawn bc yeah im still kinda sad they didnt use that name #fictional characters give ur kid an original name instead of always naming them after dead ppl challenge #my fics #my meta

help. I started my day out with watching a Warframe lore video and now I can't stop thinking about how wonderfully fucked up the whole so far story is. help.

#Albrecht Entrati is currently portrayed as a really fucked up mad scientist rn #But part of me is like... No. There's going to be some sort of... At least attempt of redemption here.#Why else would the latest quest work so much with portraying that he's still got empathy and compassion?#And solidify that... He just couldn't show that because he never considered himself WORTHY of love??#God I swear if this manages to organically teach all the minmaxing gamer dudes why toxic masculinity sucks... I'mma buy every prime access #It's going to be really interesting regardless. I need a new update already I'm frothing at the mouth #Like Albrecht seems to have fucked up a LOT of people in his frantic rush to fight back the Indifference #From the Cavia to his closest family to Arthur to the whole fucking Zariman and finally our very Tenno?? Like... bro...#Idk how he can ever be redeemed from that. Even if he truly does seem to do it out of love...#Like he went from broken and wanting death... To seeing Loid and being filled with blameless love... God. That still fucks me up.#idk if I can ever forgive him for Tagfer and Minn thou. Tag for disposal... Like you absolute MOTHERFUCKER-#Warframe spoilers

i think what gets me most about aoki’s death is that it is the perfect allegory for how rgg treats its antagonists: even if the antagonist is willing to change or implies they’re ready to start over, even if the protagonist is ready to accept them and help them move forward, even if it’s the very last second before the start of their redemption can begin, rgg has to throw in the BIGGEST Fuck You and stop any kind of progress from happening and kill them off before they can either change for the better, or justly face the consequences of their actions and get their comeuppance

ironically it’s like a stab in the back- like even if you want to change for the better, you’re doomed to the path you set out on and there’s nothing you can do to stop that now no matter how earnest you are in wanting to change and no matter who’s there to guide you to a better future (or at least get you to jail)

#y7 spoilers #spoilers #snap chats #always have to slap this Big Ass Disclaimer but aoki was cringe. terrible even. awful.#but i just wish rgg would stop setting up perfect opportunities for these characters to grow #and they'd stop preaching about how you can restart no matter what and people will always be ready to support you to do so #only for them to rip it out of our hands: its such a hollow message when you don't actually commit to it #EVEN BEYOND THAT I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO GET IN TROUBLE FFS #CAN SOMEONE GO TO JAIL. AT LEAST SAWASHIRO GETS TO GO TO PRISON #IT'S THE WAY I CHEERED WHEN I HEARD HE WAS IN JAIL AND SAW HIM IN THERE LIKE YES !!!! FINALLY !!!#ACTUALLY ENDURING THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS THAT DOESN'T END IN YOUR DEATH /GOD/#sawashiro was no innocent man but it was clear he wanted to make amends for what he did to aoki as a baby #and im glad that when that plan started to go sideways bro allowed himself to be incarcerated #he didn't game end himself and he didn't run- it just sucks hoshino had to die as a result like OK Champ You Didn't Have To Do That #but still it was just refreshing to actually have a semi-major antagonist have to deal with his actions #still it was refreshing actually having a semi-major antagonist have to be responsible for what he did that didnt end in his death #or random disappearance. ugh now im just remembering hamazaki like hamazaki wasn't a major antagonist at all #but it was really nice seeing him turn around in y4- only for. only for him to die.#girls that's the closest we're going to get to a redeemed villain like Actually have you guys considered that.#i mean ig baba too if you wanna count that but he was a villain for a total of twenty minutes collectively tbh lets be honest #ugh but not even he gets a concrete ending- like i guess he goes back to jail right? i guess #im rambling point is Welcome Back To My Aoki's Death Rant For The Seventh Week In A Row #feeling saucy today im not hiding my rambling in the tags for once SORRY i just #i just realized why this death makes me the most pissed compared to everyone else #ugh should i do a follow up rant on the other deaths ? cast your votes now if you read this far 🥴

#I don't know anything about Vanitas no Carte other than by what I see from time to time on twitter or here by chance #but that character having a brooch of a broken mirror with wings reminded me a lot of Jack #Also apparently the new character is also an archiviste and is playing music on a music box and talking about the world/story again?#In a very Abysslooking place. That's interesting. I've seen she and the guy with the broken mirror #are talking as if they were watching the story of the world‚but as if they'd get different interpretation of the events as different people #I think to recall? Which is pretty interesting especially considering I think to recall the girl was an Archiviste #And doesn't the story start with Noé talking about Vanitas' death? I don't know. Very Crónicas de una muerte anunciada among others #But with the implication of‚ idk I don't read the story‚ but this Juror-like figures watching the story for amusement and interpreting it #differently‚ and then as archivists idk... writing it down? categorising it? is pretty interesting in its possible ramifications #and potential implications. The idea of the story/world becoming a story told‚ and the telling depending on interpretation #The idea of the story/world becoming a story/narration and becoming actually several different stories #A bit like that 1984 line but out of context. And there's something more... I don't think it's Kant or Wittgenstein #Perspectivism but I wasn't thinking of that. Oh maybe it was Unamuno #Which reminds me of that one line about Horatio remembering Hamlet so well it would as if he hadn't died at all #And idkif Noe is an archivist it could be very interesting if he ended up being one of those Juror-like beings telling the story of Vanitas #Which is again pretty interesting considering that he has killed him? I watched the first episode of the anime #and I think to recall he said that? And idk I think it is very interesting in the potential twisting of events that comes from relying #a story‚ even more so if Noe has lived alongside and killed Vanitas‚ and with how these characters in the new chapter have explicitly said #they'd have different interpretations of the story/world. Not to talk about the fact of how that worked in PH #with Jack‚ Arthur and the Glens among others. But yeah. The idea of a... god adjacent? being witnessing a story #and getting a personal interpretation of it and writing it down is very interesting in its own‚ but it is also very interesting #in an additional way the idea of that godlike being having feelings of any kind for the person at the center of the story they're relying #idk. Unrelated to this but it gives me a bit the vibes of Aphrodite making flowers out of Adonis #or everything happening with Turnus and Aeneas I guess. Also damnatio memoriae. It evokes me all those things among others #But what do I know. I know barely anything at all about VnC. But these concepts I've last seen seem really very interesting #I talk too much #I should probably delete this later #Hmm I hope this doesn't appear suggested to people following the tags of things I've mentioned here like the manga‚ Aeneas or Wittgenstein #It is so annoying when it happens. Maybe I should start 'censoring' words when I'm just making notes for myself to avoid that #I've seen some people do it. Really tumblr getting rid of the five tags things has ruined the way I posted a bit

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas really is a stunningly Christian story without ever recognizing it and thinking about it makes me so unhinged. I don’t know who all has read it, but if you haven’t, it’s four and a half pages and you can read all it here.

Just. The idea that the suffering of an innocent is necessary in order to produce true human joy and flourishing. That we intuitively know that humans cannot produce a utopia on our own, so when presented with a perfectly joyful utopia we must ask, “what innocent was sacrificed to obtain this?” We cannot believe that Omelas exists without the child in the basement.

One thing I know there is none of in Omelas is guilt.

It is the existence of the child, and their knowledge of its existence, that makes possible the nobility of their architecture, the poignancy of their music, the profundity of their science.

Now do you believe them? Are they not more credible?

Even through a secular lens, humans cannot believe in true, perfect joy unless Christ (or a figure of Christ) bears our guilt. Our hearts are hard-wired for God’s love, yes, but also for His justice. To understand the need for Christ’s sacrifice.
