I am humbly requesting your thoughts on Linebeck

Oh I have a LOT of thoughts on Linebeck but I'll try to just get some major points down bc it would take me ages to spill all of my thoughts on him.

(plus i do have two general headcanon posts [ 1 2 ] a post abt headcanons about him being autistic [ x ] and a weird post about his coat [ x ] as well as pretty much anything in my linebeck tag with my excessive tagging of some reblogs and my original posts + whatever writing or fanfiction i have done/will do with him included so. bonus reading for headcanon-y stuff or a look at how i portray him)

added a read more bc this is long bc of course it is :) i hope it's in the right spot :)))

Linebeck is... a good fucking character. He's probably my favorite character period, and has been pretty much soon after I got Phantom Hourglass. He feels unique compared to other Zelda characters as a companion character who offers less direct support and is more just of a constant character who changes throughout the course of the story and is... well, a companion, not really a helper. He falls more in line with the types of loz characters who are more rude or antagonistic towards Link, but develops out of that, and also technically counts not only as a boss but a final boss, putting him as the only non-villain character to be a final boss, so uh good for him.

Just within the context of the games he's got a great design and a great theme (which is only heard about two times before the final boss but has a recognizable enough motif for it to be noticed in the final boss theme) and an interesting role in his game and just has one of the best character arcs and one of the most interesting places within the story as a whole. Linebeck's arc is very... natural in how you see his attitude change within both story beats and in his overworld dialogue, but at the same time seems like it stutters when he deals with Ciela's criticism and upholding his own reputation, I think his character arc is very fascinating if you consider the entire context of his character and what he interacts with, since a majority of the characters he directly interacts with seem to deny the idea that he's any more than a useless coward.

The fact that pretty much the rest of the major cast in Phantom Hourglass has basically no faith or respect for Linebeck is so fucking fascinating to me. This guy has to be doing so fucking bad over the course of the game. In relation to Ciela specifically, an idea I've been thinking of and trying to work into some of my Phantom Hourglass oneshots is that having to be around and interact with her so frequently wears Linebeck down pretty badly as the game goes on.

This guy is undeniably mentally ill and that's also something I have a specific fic planned out for but that's probably not going to see the light of day for a while. It's basically five chapters of Oshus being Linebeck's therapist or something each time Link goes to the Temple of the Ocean King.

I particularly enjoy how the game (at least twice) plays with your expecting him to be at the ship all of the time by having him be in a different spot on an island. His dialogue for islands and his overseas dialogue are fun, it gives off a sense that he much prefers exploring and is a bit less guarded overseas. His dialogue during the ghost ship fight is ESPECIALLY fantastic, the specific line of 'I'm fighting right there with you this time, kid!' not only offers some very interesting insight to his attitude towards link and his own role, but kind of also stings when considering the events of the final boss and is also a quote I took a screenshot of while reading the text dump for this game.

Phantom Hourglass is by no means an exceptional game and while the story is fine it's nothing fantastic and even most of the characters are... ok, but Linebeck is without a doubt the best part of this game and I really feel like he's the main reason why people still give this game a chance and despite everything he's easily one of the best characters in the entire series even if his game isn't one of the better ones. He honest to god steals every scene he's in, even if he barely has any dialogue- he's animated with such distinct personality and I love it. He doesn't speak at all until the end of the spirit of courage scene and yet is so fucking distracting with his fruity fucking posing and movements in reaction to what's going on.

I'm also personally a fan of the near-complete lack of backstory we get for him. The most we get is some vague implications but everyone can read the given information in different ways so it's really not much. Phantom Hourglass's general lack of lore is great for me since I can just fill in the blanks however I want. I kinda honestly don't want Nintendo to revisit this game because I don't really want them to add anything new. Just port it or something don't change it.

That's about it for surface-level specific-to-the-games Linebeck talk... on to everything else.

Linebeck is literally the reason why I found out I was autistic. I wrote this loser and realized I was accidentally making him kinda autistic and THEN realized I was also projecting and then decided to look into that. He's fun to write and he always ends up a little out of character and at this point I barely give a damn because this bastard is masking or keeping up a facade or whatever the fuck in most of his scenes anyways. Linebeck's arc feels to me more about him being most honest and open to and about his own emotions and actual personality so honestly writing him a bit out of character doesn't bother me too much.

He's my favorite little guy, and when I plan out Zelda aus he always gets a major role to the point where a lot of the twists to my aus all end up being similar. For a few of them I've had to forcibly alter his role so that I can't include him constantly. He's very interesting for different kinds of aus because he's an interesting character for different concepts and situations. His relationships with characters in Phantom Hourglass lend well to au stuff; specifically with Link, in one au they're adoptive brothers, in one they're something akin to rivals, in one their mutual fixation on each other propels the plot. I've even expanded on interactions and possible dynamics with Bellum in aus (Bellum is honestly fun since he's kind of a blank slate in canon but there's just enough there to build off of but keep it relatively the same original character).

I have a few ocs that used to be au versions of Linebeck that ended up becoming their own thing because the aus in question worked better as original stories.

With Phantom Hourglass-centric ideas, it's a lot of fun to poke around and explore stuff with Linebeck's past, his mental state, the kinds of things he enjoys or hates, pretty much anything the game doesn't elaborate on. With all of that blank space and the fact that I've known about him for a few years now, I've gotten down a whole backstory and deeper details on Linebeck, most of which I'm probably going to end up expressing through writing.

Just a few of the baseline ones are just along the lines of him being gay, autistic, touch-averse, intersex, a cat person, someone who highly values his freedom, half Gerudo, interested in music- some of it can be supported with canon (he really comes off to me like a closeted gay man, and he does have some generally autistic vibes) and some of it is really just for the hell of it (in particular the idea that he’s of Gerudo descent has no backing but is so interesting for story stuff and is generally fun) (I also enjoy ignoring parts of canon. I have not played Spirit Tracks and I do not want to play it so if I don't look at it I can ignore it).

I have a lot of fun fleshing him out in different aus or in scenarios before or after Phantom Hourglass, since there's just enough there to allow for further reasonable exploration, and his being just some normal guy actually helps with that since it forces you to keep things relatively normal and comparable to kinds of things you can experience in your day-to-day. I've more or less figured out a (mostly) full backstory for him, I've decided on a full physical description of how he looks so that I have a baseline if I want to change stuff in an au or just so that I know how I figure he looks as well as have an idea of how some physical traits can lend themselves to other aspects of how I write and portray him (for example, I figure he has long fingers, which goes right with the idea that he enjoys music and is pretty good on a piano, and also that he's good with tasks that might require a bit more finger dexterity as well as generally helping a bit with pick-pocketing or thievery)

I figure that, along with the general idea I have of him valuing his freedom, he's not particularly interested in following rules or laws and hates seeing too many of them put in place, and especially values his own identity even if he doesn't express it as much as he'd like. He likes being able to go wherever he'd like and he likes being able to do what he wants and express himself how he wants and that stuff gets bogged down when he plays into that image of someone he's not that he hides behind and doubles down on in a good bit of Phantom Hourglass.

Linebeck is fun in general he's a good character he's fun for aus he's got enough groundwork to spend ages pouring into possible avenues for his personality and background and whatever potential he could have in different aus or roles. He's surprisingly fun and interesting to use as an antagonist since you can't fall back on easy villain-writing ideas and have to get a bit more creative with it.

I think I struggle to write him in-character but it's backed up a bit by my specific interpretation of him suggesting that a lot of what you see from him is forced or fake. I still think he's a greedy piece of shit, though. He sucks and it's on purpose. I lean into him being rude and cold and a bit quieter overall.

He just... for some fucking reason when I decided to play this game Linebeck struck a chord with me whether or not I realized it at the time so he's just very interesting and entertaining and important to me and it really doesn't help that either Phantom Hourglass as a whole or just Linebeck is my special interest.

Linebeck stands out in comparison to other Zelda characters and has a very unique and fascinating role and arc and is just so fucking good.

He feels like he could be used as an example of how good character writing can save a piece of art (not that ph sucks but like. god damn he elevates it) just because his inclusion makes the story more interesting as you have this selfish asshole tagging along next to your little goody-two-shoes protagonist and fairy friend, and his arc, though not entirely the focus of the story, is another reason to keep progressing. His dialogue is funny and has some really good in-character tips every so often, he adds character to traversal and adds stakes as a character to care about and protect and is just fucking fantastic.

He's a character that can work as comedic relief but at the same time can be taken very seriously and I really enjoy that while he seems to be in the role of comedic relief a lot it never seems much like it's diegetically intentional and it still allows room for him to be taken completely seriously. Him knocking over stone Tetra is funny but there's so much character in that entire string of animations that while it's a fun background gag it also provides even more insight into Linebeck as a character.

Essentially he's my favorite character ever he was probably my gay awakening and I want to steal his gender and I think about him more than I think about my ocs.

#linebeck #asks #whistlingstarlight #loz #legend of zelda #phantom hourglass #salty talks #literally i got ph in the first place bc some old zeldatubers made a good case abt him and i vaguely remembered reading the manga #and now im still playing it bc of him. do it for him. whatever. easily one of the most important fictional characters ive experienced #i tried to make this more.... formal??? cuz you asked so nicely ty for the ask #i tried to just give some kind of idea of my basic ideas? i didnt want to get too specific since you just asked for thoughts #had a couple of instances of imposter syndrome pop up while writing this bc it feels weird to me to call ph or linebeck my special interest #when i dont look at anything beyond the game half of the time so idk. i think abt and can talk abt linebeck in specific for a while ig #i didn't want to go too in depth with anything since the ask was a lil vague and i didnt want to go into massive tangents #i think i still have the high school essay-writing format brainworms this feels like a structured essay #whatever im insane about him but this is really long and i dont know what to focus on #long post #i stg if the fucking 'keep reading' teleports to where it shouldnt be #anyways a few of my linebeck pet peeves are when people treat him as shallow comic relief or ignore his character arc #i have a lot of linebeck pet peeves but those are the basic ones. pls be nice to him #i empathize a lot with linebeck hence the projection i do with him so idk what that says about me but hes got gay autistic swag so whatever #i left out a lot of other stuff bc some of it would maybe require a mature label. im insane abt him but im also gay abt him

a collection of ideas of a post-suspendium Golden Age comics Billy Batson if he ended up in the 21st century (pick any comic continuity

EDIT: IF YOU SEE THIS POST HAVING A WEIRD/REPEATING PARAGRAPH/FORMAT, LET ME KNOW BECAUSE TUMBLR ISNT WORKING FOR MY MOBILE

1.adoption scenario

(If a leaguer wanted to adopt Billy, he’d just show them his birth certificate)

Billy smirking:” Sorry, you can’t legally adopt a grandpa”

2. Billy teasing with a smug boomer voice: “Back in my day, we used to play with atomic machines!”

3. youtube

Billy:thanks for showing me how to use a modern phone (insert friend from 21st century)! But I wonder, where is the tv remote for changing the youtube channel? And Where is the news?

(Friend from the 21st century):*sighs* it’s so over

4. Old friends

Aside from the fawcett city heroes, Billy in this case probably relates more to the older heroes like wildcat, Alan scott or Jay Garrick, maybe they have multiple team ups in the past and would reminiscent over it (the rest having their favorite drinks while Billy preferring his hot chocolate ice cream)

5. Teasing

The younger hero teams who know his identity would teasingly call him a “boomer”, Billy wanted to protest that he technically was born before boomers but they ignored it and still teased him about it.

to the rest of the heroes who didn’t know about his identity, they assume captain marvel is more than centuries old, and thinks this is the reason the kid heroes calls him a boomer.

6. Jokes

Billy: “oh so these memes are like what replaces comic strips i used to read, how nice”

Some of these ideas are taken from the fanfics i’ve written, some just came to me inside my head, but it’s fun to think about it.

(Edited: added more scenarios)

7. Caprisuns

Caprisuns werent invented yet when Billy was in suspendium. After getting out of suspendium, He really likes caprisun.

Other leaguers would be confused, Marvel's liking of caprisun is comparable to Martian Manhunter's love of oreos. When asked about when his capri sun addiction started, Marvel shrugged, "They weren't made before I was born, so it was only recent"

The league is now confused as to how old marvel is. Wonder Woman relates to this with her fascination of ice cream flavors.

8. Billy automatically put on a Mid-atlantic accent whenever he is near a microphone due to his habit and work with Whiz station for his TV segments as well as radio programs.

Whenever Captain Marvel uses a communicator, he unintentionally uses a mid-atlantic accent (this confuses the leaguers, "who is this guy!?"). Some of the leaguers enjoyed listening to his voice

Marvel would occasionally file an audio JL report (yes, with the same mid-atlantic accent) when he's on a hurry and couldn't type it out with his typewriter (he still finds it difficult to use a computer) : "And there you have it, folks! In a nutshell, I managed to handle the There was an outbreak of imps but Mary and I already took care of it, Junior apprehend the acrobat after a terible case of Moonitis, the three of us thwarted Mr. Mind's dastardly scheme to seize control of the sun, and we all prevented Sivana from being promoted to "King of Earth" by hurling his atomic bomb straight into the heart of the sun itself! That's the latest from me, This is Captain Marvel, signing off!"

Leaguer: "Why does he sound like a radio host commenting on a football game?"

Other leaguer:*shrugs*

9. Billy watches a cgi lion movie for the first time

..and thought innocently that there are other talking tigers like tawky tawny.

Some of these ideas are taken from the fanfics i’ve written, some just came to me inside my head, but it’s fun to think about it.

What I think is annoying with how critics are handled in universe they are painted as straw men, and that is SO bad when you are trying to prove your point in an argument. Instead of trying to see the other side, and look at your OWN argument with a critical eye, and trying to see the other side's point. Or they get "called out" for what they're doing or it's a comedic moment. Like, Monoma could have been an excellent character. Monoma calling out 1A's shit, and getting them to rethink their stances is an interesting idea. Like, what if one of them has a not so great moral idea, and Monoma calls that out. He can still act weird, but just to paint Monoma as basically 1B's strawman against Bakugo critics and just dumbshit he sees around him is just wow. Like when Kendo was telling Dekusquad a vantage point that 1B could have used to one up 1A, dude was literally right???????????????????? It's like those fan comics of character A defending character B while the one in the wrong is portrayed via a speech bubble or gray humanoid thing. But it's just in canon format. God, it's so annoying. Why do people only get called out via characters Horikoshi likes?

Oh 100% agree with this. Rather than actually try to engage with the arguments/criticisms the other side has, he loves painting them as straw-men and belittling them.

One big example is that furry fat cat guy who mentions that it’s over for Endeavor when Dabi revealed what he’s done. The dude’s drawn to be such a caricature of a stereotypical loser that we’re not supposed to take what he says seriously.

Neito’s another example. When he criticizes Katsuki he’s always painted in such an exaggerated light when doing so to the point no one’s supposed to take him seriously, and is always proven to be “wrong” despite being right in his dislike for Katsuki.

The journalists and civilians who criticize the heroes and U.A are seen as pests, vultures, ignorant, and people who believe/dish out straw-man accusations. As a journalist, this offends me. Yeah, there are journalists/companies that are vultures looking to push one side of the story, but to treat a profession that’s not only saved lives but uncovered corruption with such sustain makes the “good guy” look worse in comparison. In addition, despite Hori trying to paint them as in the wrong, all these journalists were asking the right questions and all the civilians had very rational thoughts about the heroes who’ve failed them. Rather than acknowledge these points, Hori has Shota or whoever’s his mouthpiece of the chapter make them look like idiots… even though it backfires and anyone with half a braincell can tell Hori’s arguments collapse when even slightly challenged.

When Rikido and Fumikage harp on Katsuki for not changing, it’s treated as a “haha funny” moment rather than an actual callout.

The prison guard who questions AFO about something and tells the man to actually give him an answer instead of the typical “AFO knows everything” is also treated as a gag despite that being a good criticism of AFO as a villain.

In conclusion, rather than meaningfully engaging with the arguments against his themes and story, Hori relies on painting critics as straw-men and cartoonishly stupid people to make a point. This would be fine if he was pointing out how dumb racists are or something along those lines, but when trying to convince us that the your side is right, this strat fails spectacularly against anyone with somewhat of a brain.

Simon and his father take a trip to the Scottish highlands for the summer, he knows only one of them will leave.

Johnny is a boy obsessed with filming explosions from fireworks he's not supposed to have.

Los Vaqueros are a group of Mexican teens derailed from their field trip waiting for teachers that might not come back.

Huge lore and plot dump below.

Mild tw for Simons father

Simons father has always taken him on hunting trips, sometimes he hated them, some times he liked them. But he'd never taken him this far from manchester. There are weapons in the cabin they rent, his father is eerily sober, one of them is going to die out here. Simon can only hope that Tommy won't be next.

Johnny meets him when he strays too far from his father. Part of it on purpose, he would never be on equal footing, more so when his father had the rifle and not him. He's in the tree's, at first simon thinks its prey, but there's a camera lense staring right at his scope.

Los Vaqueros come later, the leader arguing with a girl with choppy hair, Valeria and Alejandro trade glares while Rodolfo tries to mediate. Their bus broke down, leaving them stuck in town desperately renting a cabin near but far from the one simon is in.

It's the most interesting thing thats happened to johnny, and in the makeshift bonfire Valeria corners him and Simon. Her gaze is snakelike and a ring clinks on the bottle she's holding

"You say that he's an asshole yes? Your padre. Mine was the same, en mi opinión? It is kill or be killed."

Valeria nods at Alejandro, she tells them of a faceless force where she's from. The person sponsoring the trip for them, 'good will'. The five of them band together, the rest of the Vaqueros utterly ignorant.

Simon will save his family, Alejandro will get them home, and johnny? He's going to make the best home video.

Yeah so thats the whole plot, originally it was just going to be ghoap but somehow the Vaqueros fell into place. It kind of made more sense to have Valeria give them the idea? She doesnt have a whole bunch of canon lore so I figured she'd have an in with the cartel via her father, who was awful. And when Valeria killed him the nameless helped her cover it up and she got her own little spot.

Alejandro broke off their relationship after that, it's why they're on bad terms. He formed the Vaqueros as a funny joke that he started to take seriously when kids around Las Almas genuinely needed help that wasnt someway connected to the cartel, adults had that with rudys mother, so Ale and his childhood friend Rudy decided to help people their age in a way that doesn't rely on adults too much.

Everyone here is about 16-18. Soap is 17, ghost is as well but a few months older. Rudy Alejandro and Valeria are 18. And the youngest cowboy is 16.

Im trying to fit Gaz and Alex in? Im thinking that they both live in Texas, Gazs parents had a falling out since mum was from Texas hes there. Their school is on the same trip in the same bus a sort of cross trip to help the shitty american public school get a better name, as well as the cartels big PR move with having a class from one of Las Almas' schools.

Johnny is a bit weird here, but his motivation is he's suffering from extreme middle kid issues. Loves his family but since he's almost invisible is able to just kinda run off as long as hes back home eventually. He has a camera he uses to film any of his mishaps with, its essentially just jackass. As well as a video diary. Dont be fooled, its also an excuse for me to write some of it in script like format.

Simon is almost exactly the same as he is in the 09 comics, obviously a bit different. But childhood is the same.

I wanted farah to be here so bad but her childhood is literally a warzone and theres no way I can get her and her brother in Scotland. Because im trying so hard to make this somewhat believable, like yes its is a summer mystery horror au. But god I just really need things to make a little sense otherwise I cant do it. Same with Price Nik and Laswell. Like I could group Laswell in with Alex and gaz, and maybe I could pair her with Valeria for funsies. However Nikolai is in russia so... oopsie, and price? Like... how do you turn price into a teenager, he'd be what 19 or 20? Theres no reason he'd be in school, I dont think he'd be held back.

Also you may wonder, why is graves not here? Uh.... because I dont care, he wouldn't have a place here. The antagonist is Simons father, and honestly man? I just dont care that much for his character.

Man theres... theres so much I have here dude, I want to throw roach in there, and I THINK I could squeeze him in as one of ghosts school mates but the point is the first act has Simon completely isolated.

Anyway thats it. Bye.

What happens if you have a possessive Yandere boyfriend? (Manga)

Created by: Would you like BL Sandwitches?【Manga】

Genre: Slice of Life/BL

This one is in the same medium as How to Train Your Handsome But Overbearing Boyfriend, where it's essentially a comic, but in video format and in voice acting. This one is a bl, and while the thumbnail makes it seem very horror based, it's actually far more slice of life based and (for the most part) rather cute.

The story starts out with Ren Shidou going to his childhood friend (and crush) Itsuki Tachibana's house. While hanging out in Itsuki's room, he finds a book about yandere boys. Itsuki clarifies that he got the book from his sister and asks him to put it back. Ren notices something weird on the shelf, but ignores it and asks Itsuki what a yandere is. After he defines it, Ren tells Itsuki that he can relate to it as he does have a crush on him. Itsuki asks if he can roleplay being a yandere to Ren, to which he agrees as he's happy to have Itsuki look at him. The next day, Itsuki does exactly as promised, getting jealous when other people get near Ren, giving him creepy notes in class all while Ren is livid that he's getting so much attention from Itsuki. After school, the two confess to each other and become a couple. They go back to Itsuki's place where Ren points out the weird camera, though Itsuki bats it aside stating that he wants to know everything about him. At the end, it's revealed that Itsuki was an actual yandere, with the camera inside the book to spy on Ren, along with having a gallery of Ren's pictures behind the bookshelf.

The story itself is pretty simple, it is essentially just Itsuki playing a yandere character and then revealing that he is one in the end, but the overall story is pretty simple and sweet. Still, I'm not a big fan of the way it was animated since it looks very stiff and I honestly would have preferred it if it were animated more like How to Train Your Handsome But Overbearing Boyfriend where it's essentially like a comic dub. Still, I do think overall it was sweet and while it was foreshadowed that Itsuki himself was a yandere, I was surprised to see that he did actually have a shrine right behind his bookshelf. Other than that, it is a basic story with a semi interesting premise.

It's a short and simple story about two guys, one of which happens to be a yandere. I think it might be a good look into a yandere if you don't really know what it is at the very least.

ok time to do my usual breadpost of the christmas chapter, even if its a bonus chapter i think it points to some rly neat stuff 🤔

first things first. matching hairclips <333

i rly love the lineless style used in this page (tbh it influenced my last art of sar its such a nice look and smthng i should do more often myself). also the cookie at the center is the generic demon clipart from ch4

bonbien nation is having a christmas miracle tonite ‼️ seeing their human-ish forms is always so cool and also i love the little detail of bien wagging his tail there lol

the idea of them decorating the cookies morbidly to make use of bien breaking all the cookies is rly cute and i think its nice to see bon sort of just working around bien like that hehehe

but anyway time for the evil part of the comic

almost missed this but this cookie resembles reception (ear muff, green eye and mouth) and we already know bien is probably gonna fight reception eventually so 🤨

SAR MENTIONED!!!!! my evil unwilling kinnie boiii

its fascinating that he becomes more polish anselirian each update, i think his love for his culture leads some more evidence to the idea of marginals being cultural colonizers. the chapter already defines oplatek which i searched more of, the definition he gives is accurate and its a polish catholic tradition. (also its interesting that poland is mostly catholic because maldevara, which is said to be loosely based on the philippines is also a catholic country, i wonder if catholic imagery gets more significant later). besides the oplatek his outfit seems to be based on traditional polish costume (the female costume ofc)

the format is similar to i1-p5rd but with more art, as in instead of sar speaking "in comic" his words are in prose. similar to i1-p5rd too bien doesnt speak at all (in fact i just realized even in the part with bon he also doesnt speak, which iirc its the first comic in breadavota without dialogs) we also still dont see what bien looks like, the atmosphere of sar taking control of bien feels perpetuated here again from how we know bien is there and we can assume he CAN still talk because sars dialogs show him responding to things bien said but we never get to see bien himself

Judges don't celebrate any holidays, so I haven't actually celebrated anything with anybody since my mother died.

sar mom mentioned again, almost thought this was new but remembered she was mentioned in the study paper in i1-p5rd

the drawing in i1-p5rd had the same glitchy bg effects but i thought it was stylistic for that illustration, but them being used again in this chapter implied this might have to do more with how bien perceives the world itself. like look at that chair those r a fucking minecraft chair

interestingly, the bg in i1p5 also has a somewhat glitchy appearance albeit it still looks "drawn" (unlike in the newer drawings where they look more pixellated). the narration in i1-p5 itself does directly state that the world "sounds" weird to bien with things specifically he describes colors as "grating" and things looking "scratchy" which fits how to describe the stylistic differences in this drawings compared to most of breadavotas art.

ignore shitty yt quality but sar himself looks the same as the background but without the blur, and in the narration bien says sar is the clearest thing in the room. its notable that after the unseen Spinal Cord Surgery sar became rendered in the usual cleaner art style of the bread illustrations but the background became even "scratchier" with more "grating" colors. makes u think

the oplatek shows probably mary and jesus which is a usual picture printed on oplateks. idk if on purpose but i think its intersting that sar specifically splits between the mother and the son here

on top of that, sar also specifically eats the piece with the son and gives the piece with the mother to bien. eating already is a minor but consistent theme in breadavota, like for bread consuming the "breadlings" and getting the power to use their body parts, or with marginals learning how to reconstruct what they "consume" eating in breadavota fits some traditional beliefs in cannibalism where its said that its a way to "absorb" attributes of the person ur eating. on top of that for the marginals at least eating is also treated as an act of obsessive love, w/ anthony repeatedly shown to take after media/marginals as a whole most likely from living around them since he was a kid he would definitely be aware of this and it fits his yandere like vibes alot tbh

the symbolism of bien eating the mother (or in his case probably symbolizing bon) is very curious. thinking emoji times one millions

Say "ah!"

literally two words but love this line for two reasons: one is it continues the tradition of sar telling bien to say __ in a funny way but also it implies sar didnt even give the wafer for bien to eat but he FED it to him. hes so normal

#breadavota #bonbien cannibalism scene when

Why all those nights Edward didn’t sleep next to you…it wasn’t him…it was Clayface. He had someone masquerading as him to you, making you a fool…keeping you blind in the dark, none the wiser.

It doesn’t mean what Edward had done was right…no what he did was wrong so unequivocally wrong.

He lied to you, betrayed you, manipulated you in the worst ways. Most would worry about their partner cheating..leaving them for someone else. You almost wished he had just done that…it would have been vastly easier to process.

You felt like you were choking on air…a frog in your throat bouncing to get out but you kept trying to swallow it back down. You couldn’t say the same for the boundless amount of tears that fell from your eyes.

A tall, pale, red eyed man attempted to approach you, to try and comfort you.

“No! No! Stay the hell away from me…” You cried as you backed away further from the door.

“Please…I-I’m sorry…I was so sure this plan would work! I-I didn’t know it was going to end like this!”

“Didn’t know..” you muttered pathetically. “Didn’t know?! Trying being me Edward! I didn’t know a goddamn thing!”

Edward winced at the shrill in your voice. He’s heard you cry before, but he was always able to comfort you somehow. Made you smile or laugh. He still held to some thread of hope that maybe he still could.

Although it was useless.

“I just wanted to protect you! I didn’t want you to get hurt!”

“From what, Edward? From what?! The truth?! That you were sick! That you were likely going to die! The man I love was knocking on death’s door and you thought I didn’t have a right to know about it? What if the Lazarus Pit didn’t work, Ed? Hm?! Thought of that!”

You were borderline hysterical at this point. For all his brilliant intellect…he sure was clueless on some of the more basic things.

“I knew it would work…” Edward muttered. “I went to the doctors, they practically gave up on me. It was the last choice I had, I didn’t want to die!”

“And not once…did you think to tell me?”

“Of course I did! I thought about it every waking moment! I wanted to tell you, but I-I didn’t want to scare you…I didn’t want you to..”

“To what, Edward? To what?!”

“Be upset! To f-freak out! I was going to come up with a solution! But I didn’t want you to worry!”

You let out a pathetic laugh at that. Upset? What the hell did he think you were now?

“Sorry to burst you bubble, Eddie…but I’m a little more than just upset…I’m fucking furious…hurt…” You collpased on the wooden floor of your living room. Whatever strength you had left you were using to speak. “But…more than anything I’m disappointed…you-you didn’t trust me…”

“No-No, no that’s not it at all!” Ed tried to approach you again but you snapped your head up.

“Don’t–”

Edward held his hands up in surrender. “Okay…okay…look I-I messed up, big time! I-I know that! I-I’m sorry! I just…I wanted to protect you!”

“You wanted me to be ignorant…worried I would just get in the way…”

“No-please! Just stop twisting my words!”

“Just be honest!” You shrieked. “All those nights I wondered where you were…and then you finally showed up…or Clayface or whoever…they were. I could tell something was off, I kept shrugging it off…there was a reason the kisses weren’t the same…your warmth wasn’t there…and when they couldn’t even recall how we met…I knew-I knew then…

“You really think I’m that stupid, don’t you, Edward?”

“No…I-I had no doubt you’d figure it out…that’s why I had Clayface leave that letter on the table.”

“So why not just tell me? Protect me from what? The truth? The truth always comes out…it wouldn’t hurt nearly as much as it does now…if you would’ve told me…” You weeped.

“Trust me…I-I know that now…I just…I was scared. I didn’t want you to be scared. When I came out of the Lazarus Pit…I-I admit I didn’t even recognize myself.”

Yeah, tell me about it. You thought as you looked up at him now. This tall, broad-shouldered, pale man. Who claims to be Edward. He somewhat sounds like him despite the deepened voice. Some weird hollowed host of the man you loved. The shell of someone you used to know.

Edward got down on his knees in front of you, but still enough to respect your space.

“Please–I. I know I messed up. I shouldn’t have kept all this from you. It was the stupidest thing I have ever done…and–althought I don’t want to admit it…I have done a lot of stupid things…you of all people would know that.”

Edward was mortified when you didn’t giggle softly. Usually whenever he exercised self-awareness it was to amuse you, because he could let his guard down around you and not worry about losing you.

Little did he know that he already had.

“You don’t have to forgive me tonight or tomorrow…nor any time soon, but just…please…please don’t–don’t give up on me…on-on us.”

Something clicked when he mentioned “us”, you two…

For the first time, since you and Edward reunited, after you were informed he was pronounced dead just the night before.

Everything was clear, everything was out in the open like a map that was finally done processing all the new countries and oceans.

Everything was clear.

At first your mind was fuzzy and fogged by memories ones with your true Edward and ones with the false. Your emotions, your heart although it ached at your conclusion…it’s beat was normal and calm for once.

You were calm and you were sure.

“I’m afraid it’s too late for that Edward…”

Edward’s eye widened, panicked. “No, no, no–please–please I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Please! I’ll do anything!”

Edward reached for you then. He grasped your shoulders and shook your shoulders. As if attempting to snap you out of your decision.

You were motionless, speechless, exhausted. What good was it to fight for a relationship when one person couldn’t trust the other. You were more than certain you couldn’t trust Edward again, not after all this. Not all this Hush mess.

“You should’ve just told me the truth, Edward…or Hush or whoever you are.”

“Please! I’m Edward! I’m still your Eddie!”

You shook your head. The places were switched now, he was the one screaming and you were calmly responding. No more screams, no more tears, no more effort into something other than the inevitable.

“No, no you’re not. Not…not anymore.” You got up and his hands slowly slipped off your shoulders like a blanket and you began walking away. He quickly got up to follow you.

“I suggest you leave, before I call the police.”

Edward halted. “No–No, please! You don’t want to do that! Please! I’m sorry! I-I won’t lie to you, no more! I’ll tell you everything and anything!”

You said nothing as you picked up the home phone from it’s reciever.

“P-Please…”

Your eyes stared up into his dark red eyes.

Oh, how you missed his warm brown eyes.

They were long gone now, along with the rest of the Edward you loved.

You held the phone up to your ear, still staring down this man in your house.

“You should leave-”

“Please…”

“Begging will get you no where. Leave.”

“B-But-”

“NOW!” You began slowly pressing the buttons, like a parent counting down to their child.

Edward panicked once more. He didn’t want to give up but knew that he had no way of escaping the police. He looked over his shoulder before dashing out of your front door and into the dark streets of Gotham.

You exhaled a breath you didn’t know you were holding. You put the phone back on it’s receiver. You were surprised that you found yourself not caring or worried about where Ed-Hush was going or if he’d be safe.

He was no longer your concern, he was no longer Edward.

Now, all that was left was for you to continue to try and pick up the pieces of what remained of your heart.

I saw your SCP-682 comics (among many other masterpieces) and i just gotta ask- SCP-5000 reveals why 682 finds humanity so disgusting, so I'm wondering if -B also noticed *that* and how'd they take it

Very good question. There's some kinda... weird aspects of SCP-5000, and implications made by project Dammerung-related stuff, but I fully confess I mostly understand it second-hand from voice-over work from the likes of the Exploring Series, and SCP Explained.

Gonna ramble a long while about my own headcanons, and finally what Styx would likely think; in brief, he sees "It" as mostly just a benign tumor.

If anyone is unfamiliar with any of this, please scroll on by. This is long, and requires knowledge of SCP-5000 and SCP-2718 for context.

What I gathered though is that "It" is why humans feel pain, and that if the afterlife is just being a self-aware corpse as O5-11 described, feeling constant pain "feeds" "It". Hence, "You're not supposed to feel pain". Cure yourself of "It", and you'll get to not feel empathy, or pain, and die without issue.

A lot of the story is left up to interpretation, but it's presented as a nightmare scenario in the most literal sense, where the idea is scary enough to make you want to suspend your disbelief so that it has full effect. There's weird... holes to it, though.

When properly examined, "It" is something that exists in the collective unconscious of humans, but... animals feel pain. Animals feel empathy, at least in some capacity. It's a practical chemical reaction and instinct-complex to strengthen pack bonds.

I have to assume SCP-5000's canon isn't "materialist", as in, humans aren't just neuron-signals in meatsuits and nothing more. In that case, the "Individual consciousness" is implied to be sacrosanct, and anything else exploiting the "Individual" is a malicious, unjust force. There's a strong objectivist/individualist moral implication about SCP-5000, which already by default doesn't sit so right with me, as "no man is an island"; no matter how much you want to act like a unique individual, there are natural beliefs every individual will latch onto, such that the formation of a collective unconscious is just inevitable, and therefore the formation of "It".

I think beings like canon 682 see this as an inherent moral evil, and rationalize this evil as suffering, as from an empathy-less perspective, the individual is always supreme, so anything that subverts the individual is "disgusting". Even still, if the Foundation is trying to do humans a favor, what is the motivation? Just that the wailing of humanity is disgusting to them, and they'd like it to be silenced? That doesn't really justify anything short of a clean scorching of the earth, rather than the bizarrely sadistic approach taken by the Foundation in SCP-5000. If SCP-2718 only works via "It's" influence, then taking the inefficient, weird sadistic approach to exterminate humanity implies a motivation on their part that doesn't stem from empathy (that they aren't supposed to have) or logical self-interest (that they'd supposedly be left with). If all humans were wiped out, there'd be nothing for "It" to feed off of, and it's not a stretch to assume the Foundation could've done way more efficiently than they did.

All information we get as justification for wiping out humanity from the changed-Foundation's and 682's perspective is already biased, and riddled with logical inconsistencies that only more inconsistent conjecture can explain. Supposedly, "It" is such a threat that wiping out humanity is the more humane alternative, but with this information and these deductions, I feel that you can't really rationalize that or ignore some clear bias the heartless Foundation has.

So to finally answer your question: Ideally I'd rather just assume in my canon that the entity doesn't exist, but if it were to, SCP-682-B/Styx Nacht II would figure that "It" is not something separate from humanity, nor is it the same as humanity itself. "It" is "civilization" and "society", something that inevitably manifests in the unconscious of any species that becomes developed enough. Society isn't "good" or "evil", but the purpose of empathy is to keep the bindings of "society" strong.

So in his opinion, the ideal is to neither fear "It", nor believe "It" to be "supreme" over your own self. Hold this belief, and your afterlife will be fine, and the entity can't exploit you. Completely shackling yourself to empathy will make you suffer, but you'll still suffer if you try "hardening your hearts". The answer lies in the middle. "Suffering" is inevitable, even without "pain". Killing the entity doesn't solve that, and something else would take its place anyway. This is what he'd understand, and that normal 682 wouldn't.

I like SCP-5000 for the sprawling horrific scenario it is, but on a logical level, even with Foundation-canon weirdness, it kinda just comes across as a biblical apocalypse story written by an objectivist having a nightmare.

Hopefully I.. sort of explained myself, and didn't write something totally incoherent.

Inside the bonemill our paladin could not hold back her rage at the hag coven that resided there, for all the children they killed. She and our warlock decided, at level 1, to try to fight morgantha and her daughters.

Now Isolde here is very familiar with hags, had been wary of the group to start. She tried desperately to convince the coven to stop attacking the party. Lest gods of other realms, other powerful hag covens, or strahd himself grow angry at their actions. (Please keep in mind Isolde here had some gnarly stats for specifically persuasion. Even with a +8 the highest I rolled over three attempts was a 12 total) the hags ignored her. The paladin and warlock both get knocked unconscious - close to death.

(our dm threw me a bone)

A knock at the door. Morgantha is terrified. Isolde thinks "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and opens the door to find herself meeting none other than strahd von zarovich. Stuck between a rock and a hard place, Isolde tries what she does best, to lie her ass off and slap on the charm. She invites strahd in and tries to butter him up, she's his GUEST after all. He listens and commands morgantha to let them go. The hags agree but name a price: they will keep one of the party members.

So Strahd leaves to choice to Isolde. Thinking that whoever is chosen may be captured and they'll have to break out later she chooses the paladin (they started the fight to begin with)

Strahd smiles, walks over to the prone body, reaches down, and rips the paladin's head from her body.

Isolde is shaken from her ass kissing performance at the sight.

Satisfied that the confrontation is ended strahd gifts the head of her party companion to Isolde (who keeps a collection of dead people hair - some weird death obsession or hope to one day commune with them again, even she can't tell you why)

With much charm, bursting with charisma, strahd invites Isolde to the castle ravenloft for a dinner feast, and then leaves.

(during this time the warlock fails his death saves and so he too died)

Idk nor do I at the moment care to know how to format comics. Maybe I'll redo this one day but for now it's fine.

#d&d art #my art #d&d ocs #curse of strahd #strahd von zarovich #and that's how we met strahd #day three in barovia #and half the party dead

pick five numbers (dealer's choice) to do for the boys

I don’t know if I’m ready for this level of autonomy. From the choose violence ask meme

12- the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

Jonah Vogelbaum heh! It’s not that I like or want people to like him. But I sometimes want to read about wth was going through his mind in the 80s and 90s lol. Did he ever consider any parallels between his actual kids at home and the Vought project he was raising in the lab? At what point did he realize that he may have irrevocably fucked up HL’s psyche? I’m also curious about his hypothetical interactions with Edgar and Stillwell.

20- part of canon you found tedious or boring

Boring: stuff they take from the comics to make comics fans happy not because it propels the story forward. s3 was a big offender with the pointless Little Nina storyline, the Legend just kind of… being a Hollywood producer stereotype, and a relatively pointless Jamie the Hamster cameo.

Tedious to deal with in fic logistics so I don’t: V24-induced terminal illness

22- your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores

Not ignored per se, but I feel like it’s never fully put to use (including myself in this): all of HL’s weird super senses resulting in a very different life experience. Writers will allude to it, but it’s a fount of untapped potential.

23- ship you’ve unwillingly unexpectedly come around to

I have never read x reader before this fandom, but the HL x reader short fic format game is really strong on tumblr, often good and entertaining characterization for HL, interesting hypothetical situations, and pretty fun, without the constraints of fitting together with another canon character. I do see the appeal.

Honorable mention: It’s not that I was unwilling, but I would never have thought I’d read Homie fic and not die of LOL. But it’s not an intrinsically bad pairing.

24- topic that brings up the most rancid discourse

This one’s easy. When someone, often but not always under the age of 20, has just finished the show and astutely noticed that Homelander is a villain, has done bad things, is a misogynist, is racist, is a nazi … anywhere along that spectrum they choose to settle. And then tag with #homelander because they don’t understand how tumblr works lol

#thanks for the ask!#ask meme #homelander #vogelbaum #fandom meta #the boys #the boys tv

Music of My Heart Masterpost

Trying to motivate myself to make progress on this poor story I've neglected for years at this point. I never intended to abandon it completely, though I may compress it substantially since I think I'm the only one here who really knows/cares about it and I can get my point across with a couple more books and a sequel one shot. We'll see how it goes.

Anyway the first step is collecting all the chapters I guess. I don't know whether to put that or the summary first. Oh well I suppose if you're new here you don't know what this is...

So, if you're new here, one of my special interests for a long time was visual kei and music in general (and low key they still are), and I conceived this story when channeling that, years and years ago. Like when I was in high school (turn of the century-ish) years ago. I started drawing it a few times and stopped and revised it, but this is the definitive version, which I started working on in maybe 2015 or 2016.

It follows a couple of teenagers in the 80s in Tokyo as they sort of navigate their transition into adulthood and explore the things that keep them together or drive them apart, and try to figure out what their place is in a bigger world they begin to realize they may not be cut out for. They explore a lot of these things interacting with each other with their cobbled-together band at the center.

Here are the chapters I have so far. (I've also collected most of them into 3 books, with a 4th on the way once chapter 28 is done....There are links to those on the website www.featureenvyproductions.com/shop.php)

This is appropriate for a teen audience but be aware that there are some hints of family dysfunction/domestic violence (not pictured explicitly), as well as smoking habits consistent with the time period. I generally add other content warnings as needed.

(A Quick Note: You may see this comic referred to as "Boku no Kokoro no Ongaku" around here as well...My main reason for that was just literally having the title be the same as that of a key song they write and perform in the story, but I've kind of scrapped this over the years because I'm not sure I like the song anymore. I may rewrite it or I may scrap it and you'll never hear it idk. Anyway that's why I mostly am going to use the english version of the title going forward. It's more easy for people to stumble upon too.)

(chapters 1-15 have the pages laid out a little weird because they're from back when tumblr only let you do 10 images at a time. There are links to the website versions where you can see the pages alone though don't worry and also just oh my god ignore how cringey i talked then. If you prefer to read the chapters without my obnoxious commentary, head to http://www.featureenvyproductions.com/comics.php?initialcomicid=1)

Chapter 5

Chapter 6

Chapter 7

APPARENTLY I JUST NEVER POSTED CHAPTER 22 so here's a link to the website version http://www.featureenvyproductions.com/comics.php?initialcomicid=1&initialchapter=22

Chapter 23

Chapter 24

Chapter 25

Chapter 26

Chapter 27

Also all the music you see in these is actually real. I can't promise it's GOOD but like I tried my best here....If you want to hear midi versions, here's all those so far:

Perfect Dream

Watch You Burn

Trouble

Drag You To Hell

#boku no kokoro no ongaku #indie comic #queer comic #music #music of my heart comic #sorry there's no real versions of the songs #I wrote most of them back when my guitar skills were SUBSTANTIALLY better than they are now #maybe one day I'll sit down and get my abilities back

the first thing that I'm going to address is NO I don't write smut. that being said, I might reblog it or some of my jokes may be in a more mature manner. so if you were curious about the warning at the beginning of this post, that's why.

I would also like everyone to be patient please, and that goes for both my writing as well as my aesthetic making process.

as the previous statement suggests, I mainly take requests for x readers and aesthetic boards.

TTTE/DC 2015 - 2016

So among the mini choo choos, there are many DC Comics themed trains. And DC is a thing I also know about so how's about some thots on how apt these character match-ups are?

Thomas as Superman: Predictable, basic, obvious. I get why, but le sigh. They're both blue! They're both THE flagship character. *yawn*

Diesel as Batman: No, but I do like where their heads were at when they arrived at this. They're both black and also both duplicitous in their way. Batman's always been the odd man out in the Justice League by his own design, intentionally wouldn't become a full member until the big shit went down, so that's a neat parallel.

Diesel 10 as The Joker: Ignoring Thomas and the Magic Railroad (as I always do unless I caint) I think he's more of a Lex Luthor than a Joker. His machinations are much more deliberate, he's not just out to cause chaos, he has a particular intention and motivation. Would also accept Arsenal since they both have mechanical arms.

Millie as Harley Quinn: I think if anyone on the NWR was going to be Harley, it'd be Rebecca but she wasn't a character yet when this set came out.

Spencer as Cyborg: Obvious (they're both silver!), but I don't hate it. Could also go with S.T.R.I.P.E., Captain Atom, Steel. Mirror Master, if we wanted to make him a villain. Ooh, Gentleman Ghost woulda been clever!

Luke as Beast Boy: Love it! They're both green and small and Luke had that episode about making friends with that deer so they both have an affinity for animals.

Charlie as The Riddler: Love this too! They've both got purple in their color schemes and Charlie's jokes are always in a riddle format. Very good match.

Millie as Catwoman: Better match than Harley. Other good matches: Huntress, Star Sapphire, Black Canary.

Percy as Robin: I hate that it's true, but it is. Percy is peak sidekick. Remains to be seen which Robin though. Would Percy eventually turn into Nightwing or Red Hood? Suppose it depends on if we're talking T&F Percy or RWS Percy.

Emily as Wonder Woman: No. Emily's better as Hawkgirl. They both wear green and gold and they're both kind of a bitch. (Which is to say, Emily being a bitch like she was early on in her history would have been interesting and not : [] if there had been any other female characters (a Wonder Woman) to contrast that to).

Henry as Green Arrow: Obvious, but not as obvious as making him Green Lantern would have been. This might also be a joke about the real train also called Green Arrow. If it were my line of toy trains dressed as superheroes though, Henry would have been Metamoprho to play on the whole involuntarily being made into a weird frankenmonster thing.

Stephen as Sinestro: Fucking wild-ass match out of left field. I cannot fathom the logic of it and I suspect there is none. I kinda do love it for that, but I think if we're actually trying, Stephen is Shining Knight, a blast from the past who always wants to tell you about the time he fought Morgan le Fay. "'Tis a good story."

Thomas as Batman: No, but I get why if this is the sequel to the last set. Also they went with retro blue Batman instead of black to make it fit so points for that.

James as Flash: Perfect. Red, fast, James is similarly jokey when he has room to be, he's the one the other guys don't take seriously.

Salty as Aquaman: I mean, yeah. Obvious, but in a way unavoidable, I think.

Flynn as Firestorm: Flynn coulda been any fire hero, but Firestorm's deal is that he's actually two (or more) consciousnesses fused into one, with one guy controlling the body and the other(s) advising. So that's not a bad match for the guy who fights fires and can switch between rails and roads.

Spencer as Cyborg: See previous.

Thomas as Superman: See previous.

Flynn as Firestorm: See previous.

Sidney as The Penguin: Ehhh, yeah, okay, I guess if you want to go off the chubby face thing. Buuuut Solomun Grundy would be better! They both have memory problems. And Grundy's not strictly a villain per se so it kinda plays on the diesels being antagonists for a while, despite most of them being pretty cool guys.

Millie as Catwoman: See previous.

Paxton as Lex Luthor: Haha, no! Paxton might make a good Trickster though. Only falls in with the wrong crowd when he gets confused.

'Arry as Shazam: If there's a train who should be Shazam, it's probably Bill or Ben. Or maybe Phillip. As for 'Arry, how about Metallo?

Diesel 10 as The Joker: See previous.

Edward as Black Adam: Wild-ass choice without context, but now that'd I've posited Bill/Ben as Shazam... Edward is often put at odds with Bill and Ben and Black Adam is old and wise. And he's got a redemption arc going now so ???

Percy as Robin: See previous

Millie as Harley Quinn: See previous.

Ferdinand as Martian Manhunter: Maybe they were going for the isolation angle of being banished to Misty Island if you squint? Given that he was banished to Misty Island for being naughty though, Lobo might be a fun take on him.

Thomas as Batman: See previous.

Samson as Black Manta: Haha, I don't think so. Captain Atom perhaps, who chose (wrongly) to side with the US military over the Justice League when they went to rescue The Question from the government? Ooh, or - wild-ass take - General Eiling, who turned himself into a monster to prove some point about civilians being at the mercy of superheroes, beat the shit out of a bunch of non-super powered heroes, and then got tolt by a little old lady that he was the super-powered being they needed to be protected from. These guys both thought they knew; they didn't know.

Porter as Captain Cold: Not bad, since his deal is his sandboxes are kept up on his boiler to keep the sand warm and therefore dry in case his rails are wet or icy. Given that he's about sand, I think Hourman might have been a fun if tenuous leap too.

Victor as Hawkman: Eh. Not bad, but there's better options for him. Red Tornado would have been good, same color scheme and Red Tornado is also a relatively empathetic machine.

Emily as Poison Ivy: Not sultry enough. Daisy might be good for Poison Ivy.

Charlie as The Riddler: See previous.

Scruff as The Atom: I mean, he is small so I see where they were going with that. He could be a better Creeper though!

Rosie as Supergirl: I think Wonder Girl is a little more of a tomboy, but not by that much so whatev.

Spencer as Doomsday: Damn, that escalated, dint it? I mean, they are both gray so okay. You know, though. If you made Gordon Superman, then this makes a lot of sense.

Thomas as Bizarro: It's surprising and I'm into it! And it sort of follows. Like Bizarro, Thomas also often tries to imitate people he admires, thinking that he is their equal, but finds he cannot match their skills. Just ain't built for that.

Gator as Killer Croc: Obvious, but they had to do it, I suppose.

Diesel as Two-Face: Love it! No notes!

Diesel 10 as Solomon Grundy: I know I said this for Sidney, but fuck it, I like this too. Especially since it does play on the whole anti-villain thing that Grundy sometimes has going.

Troublesome Truck as Scarecrow: I feel the really apt thing to do would be to make Troublesome Trucks something that there are a legion of. Apokolips grunts or Cadmus guys or- Oh. Oh no! Troublesome Truck should have been Mr. Mxyzptlk!

Ben as Plastic Man: You know what, yeah! Plastic Man is a reformed burglar and a chucklefuck besides. I see where they were goin' with it. If you make Bill the Elongated Man, you can play with the whole "we don't need two stretchy guys" gag.

Rosie as Hawkgirl: Nope, that should a been Emily's.
