what would gladstone do if he ever saw mortimer crying or feeling down....when mortimer thinks he's alone

I was today years old when I learned Superman has a straight up Zoo in the Fortress of Solitude

#dcu #dc #superman #kal el #clark kent #Why don't we ever see this #Guys Jon could have reached friendship level with Damian so much easier if he mentioned he has a nature preserve #full of alien and endangered creatures #WHY DO WE NOT SEE THIS #He also has entire rooms dedicated to Jimmy Olsen and Lois Lane and his civilian Identity with statues of them #Also a hobby room where he paints and sculpts #Like oh my god how am I just learning about these things #fortress of solitude #Guys he would have so many animal friends

FINALLY I HAVE ALL OF THESE CUNTS NAMED. i made a like 10 iterator local group [Echoing Strife] with dear mutual @arti-cat !!!!!!! its crazy !! most of them were born like yesteday so no designs but im gonna dump about them. the whole theme of their group is they're based on the echoes /their monolouges. also some ancients that are important [more info under cut]. rb and comment on my ramblings boy

Metropolis: Clawing at the 'Clouds' [senior] [he/him] Sky Islands: A Second of 'Silence' [they/them] Wall/Silent Construct: Relentless Earthly Cacophony ['Rec'] [any/all] Chimney Canopy: Three Binding 'Feathers' [he/she/aer] Shoreline: A Precipice of a 'Promise' [she/it] Shaded Citadel: Seeing Past 'Ichor' [he/him] Subterranean: Solitude of Uncovered 'Omens' [they/it] Undergrowth: [Undisclosed] 'Vex'ing Desires [he/ve] Farm Arrays: Joyful Envision of Tranquility ['Jet'] [he/him] Bitter Aerie: From the 'Depths' to the Heavens [they/any] + Ancients: A Thousand Flakes of 'Dust', One Resolute Cause [she/her] Tangled 'Kestrel', Clawing Desperately [they/she] Cacophony's Caw, 'Crows' Descend [he/him] [child] 'Cardinal' Descending from Afar [he/him] [child] 'Wrens' Hopping, Blissful Eve [she/her] [BABY]

clouds: no talk him he angy. once again one of my seniors sucks at their fucking job. theres a fire in his heart filled with cancers and poppy tarts /ref hes gonna fuck everything up as soon as shit goes wrong. he gets therapy from a cat though. go shitty lesbians go. sometimes reffered to as claw demeaningly

silence: Old Man /silly . they are the mediator and are very concerned with their younger iterators. ends up really fucking things up with the constant fighting between vex and omens [ill get to that] and vex maybe explodes them [silence has a very weak structure to begin with]. oh also silence can overhear echos. hehehehe

rec: haha dumb IDIOT gave himself the rot!!!! she kind of did it when she was young and dumb and has come to really regret it, but chooses to use the remaining time he has building a better life for the creatures around him rather than concern himself with his infection and past mistakes, much to the dismay of its fellow iterators

feathers: silly little guy!!! had a crush on one of aer techs [kestrel] and grew very close to them. maybe cried like a little bitch when she managed to sneak her kids [crow & cardinal [wren probably wasnt born yet]] down there when she couldnt find someone to babysit. imagine having an iterator be ur nini to help you with your homework . its really silly to me. Sure Hope Mass Ascension Doesn't Ruin Everything! [feathers bioengineers scugs like them to Cope. it does not help]

promise: just kind of bitter and angry. it did so much work for its city, gave up everything, all for nothing at all. just for her to be abandoned in the chase for ascension. accidentally pingpongs vex's beliefs REALLY TERRIBLY while shes just kind of awkward about it because she doesnt like omens on principle but doesnt side with vir either

ichor: funny little guy . loved by his citizens. Knew about the mass ascension before it happened but didnt tell anyone so everyone [especially feathers] is really really fucking pissed at him. oops king.

omens: def the most devoted to ascension and the problem, while also studying past civilizations and Grand Cycles. viewed mass ascension as a good thing and is happy their creators moved on. watches vex spiral in Real Time and is kind of freaked out. theyre somewhat conjoined [not as much as moon&pebbs but they share a lot of systems particularly their comms arrays] which led to lots of fighting between them Constantly only driving them deeper into hatred and resentment. theres only a certain point when omens actually becomes Scared of him, however....

vex: ohhh you mentally ill little boy. fairly normal until Dust [the leader of a very violent and large anti-ascension movement] corrupted him as his mentor. uh. ve likes to believe it was beneficial and 'enlightened' vir but really it just turned him into an angry person, especially when mass ascension happened and dust got ascended which only cemented his beliefs. fights a fuckton with omens and believes in the holiness of the cycle. very unbecoming of an iterator. sure hope he doesnt do anything terrible!

jet: built at sea, collapsed due to a great flood/tsunami before mass ascension. believed to be dead and very distant from the group, they were a source of a lot of drama. hes actually alive though! he was built with Some waterproof measures in mind so hes functioning to an extent down there. in yuri we trust [with depths]

depths: originally built as spectacle + as a lighthouse to work alongside jet, but jet collapsed before they were completeted. oops. feels very hollow and purposeless, until a messenger from the sea shows up with a pearl . otherwise depths is very distant from the group [mainly distance and poor comms] and also when trying to learn about jets clouds found it insensitive with the wound being 'too fresh' and kind of exploded on them. woops.

it's just so easy to fix "Dover Beach." you take the bad parts ("Sophocles long ago..." through "Ah, love, let us be true /To one another! for") out and then you have a lovely, haunting, austere poem.

#yes i WAS thinking about #And we are here as on a darkling plain/Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight/Where ignorant armies clash by night #again #it conveys such a sense of immensity and solitude #as it pulls out from the two small figures on the beach #but oh boy i think the middle is muddy and unnecessary

whenever i think about wanderer, i can't help but conclude that that the bird in his demo is nahida. like beyond the recurring motif of nahida being a bird - first in a cage, now free of her restraints - i think that's just something she would do.

i can definitely see her accompanying wanderer on his travels even though he's like "i don't need your help" because she wants him to enjoy his new experiences and make friends. while also maybe annoying him a little.

like, wanderer's first reaction to the bird persistently following him in his demo -> "oh, not you again" energy -> "fine you can join me just don't bother me"...peak edgy younger brother going out the door + protective but teasing older sister dynamic. and guess who has the driver's license of the two of them, lmao...two guesses and the first doesn't count.

(also i find it interesting that his demo is titled "of solitude past and present" but...with nahida by his side, and in this case literally, wanderer isn't alone anymore. and he doesn't have to be, doesn't have to face his fears on his own, ever again.)

♡ // the pitch is fun as hell lets fuck up a perfectly good kid queen

WHAT WOULD OUR MUSES' CHILD BE LIKE?・accepting!

THEY WILL KNOW HIM AS THE SILENT SUCCESSOR.

"yeah, I've seen him around the town square before. I just... ah, I wouldn't advise approaching the boy. he doesn't respond well to... uhm, anything really. my daughter tried to befriend him the other day and he hadn't said a word to her, just glared at her from beneath his hood. hm, we cannot deny our services to him, though, as he pays well for a number of our items." ━━━ VILLAGEWOMAN STOREOWNER, about ???

IN-GAME PROFILE,

CLASS: Fell Child

VERSION: specializes in TOMES, emphasizing MAGIC growth and high RESISTANCE, though not yet unlocking the ability to transform and utilize BREATH weapons

DESCRIPTION.

the last son of Lord Sombron, Zephia's biological offspring though fathered by her partner, Denning. while he prefers silence to the bustling commotion of social settings, it is not uncommon to find him traversing through a village or two to complete a task from his mother. however, be wary upon approaching him, as the only language he knows is that of bared teeth and the unrecognized effects of solitude. he, too, has taken to following in the silent image of that who he knows his father to be.

APPEARANCE,

as a child of Sombron, his strongest genes are those of his biological father's. bone-white hair that is often trimmed just above his shoulders, parted only in his bangs. daily, he braids the front side-tresses and lets them grow longer than the rest of his hair. his eyes, unlike both his mother and father, are a pale golden glow, more alike the irises of Denning, though there is no trace of blood shared between the two. there is a lack of Mage Dragon blood in him and, thus, he was born without horns, though he frequently wonders about which shape of horns would look best on him.

apparel is a factor of appearance he took to Denning to follow as example. cloaks and hoods are his preferred, even inside the safety of his home. many assume that it is because of the wealth of knives that can be hidden under the cloth but, in truth, it is simply because it keeps him warm. by gathering his cloak and robes around him, his unnaturally high body temperature heightens and allows him to sleep peacefully in colder weather; with his house being high up in the mountains, this proves more than useful.

to the surprise of his parents, he was born with an unusual birthmark on his cheek, one that startled Zephia nearly into a blind rage. though the anger came from the memory of a Hound under her care, whom she abandoned for motherhood, her son assumed that the fury was because of its ugliness and, thus, he holds his head at an odd tilt whenever he does not have a hood, always facing his parents with his bare cheek rather than his marked one.

PERSONALITY,

highly aggressive and volatile; it does not take much to ignite his penchant for blood. however, he is unsure where this rage comes from, uncertain if his lack of control is strong enough to cause such a reaction. thus, to keep from snapping at others, he does not speak. after watching how easily Denning yields to his mother, he has followed the same pattern in the hopes of appeasing her. if someone as great as Denning is susceptible to Zephia's words, then it must mean that her words are truth. and the truth is what he listens to.

likewise, the lack of social contact for most of his younger years has detached him fully from the world. when a human approaches him, he is unsure of how to properly react. the paranoia of his true bloodline being revealed startles him into silence, awkwardly standing in place until the human leaves him be. if not, he retaliates with anger, shielding his fear until it shapes itself into a weapon.

beneath Denning's teachings, he has learned curiosity and frequently asks his father to answer plenty of his questions. Denning is an inspirational figure to him, so he took to mimicking his mannerisms until they became a comfort. thankfully, Zephia seems to not mind this habit, else she'd have locked her son away until he forgot who her partner was.

HOUSEHOLD DYNAMIC,

there is no question that the head of the household is Zephia, with her son second in the hierarchy and, Denning, at the bottom. however, time has made this hierarchy of power well-known throughout the family and none wish to divert from it. despite this, Denning still hopes to have a part in his son's life, no matter how little of a presence this is. to him, his duty is that to protect his son.

as a result of the submission of Denning to Zephia's mindset, their son has no person he can confide in when the pressure of home begins to burden him. his blood as Sombron's last son must be kept secret from the rest of the world, lest the Fell Church and bad, bad dragons try to take him away from his mother; as were her words, and he wholly trusts her, no matter if he has yet to hear of another dragon that is not her.

he is a Fell Dragon and, thus, should adhere to the lessons and rusted tomes Zephia sets before him, but always, always, he cannot help but bend easier to the gentle teachings of Denning's lord. he has seen neither Sombron nor Nergal, but soon, he thinks, he will have to choose one to give his servitude to. but for now, the thought scares him, and he is fine with the weight of two expectations heavy on his shoulders.

QUOTES,

??? about DENNING:

"my father..." a pause, silence would fill throat for a moment until he swallowed it and turned his cheek, "he is not around often, but i miss him a lot. his cloak is... i made my own copy."

??? about ZEPHIA:

"mother does all she can for me and yet, i cannot help but feel like i... i am not enough... but she loves me. she tells me everyday, once i finish my work. as long as i turn my cheek." his bottom lip trembled. "she will only kiss the bare one."

ZEPHIA about ???:

"he has a long way to come, in many aspects of who is he. when i teach him about the history of the fell church, he does not retain much of the information." a sigh, her gaze became dark. "but he speaks of a lord nergal, though he will not reveal where he heard this name. no worries, i will make him."

ZEPHIA about DENNING:

"he is useful, though hardly receptive to the affection i offer him. handling him has become difficult, but i'd hate to rid him when my son is still so young. hm-hm, time will do it for me."

DENNING about ???:

"this child is to be 'cared' for." written as easily as the want forms in his mind. "so long as he will have me, that will be my calling."

DENNING about ZEPHIA:

curt, but not assertive. "allow me to have purpose in this."

#beholdenning #☽ ━━━━━━ ❝ to appease the handmade goddess ・【 𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 】 .#OH EM GEE THIS WAS SOOO FUNN #was kicking my feet and giggling while typing this all #decided to change the “timeline” idea into the “household dynamic” idea instead!! mainly bc i don't got time for timelines!!!#would've done a picrew but i'm going kind of in-detail with the appearances and that might not be matched SO instead use your imagination #this zephden kid is very close to his evil villain arc... he's this ( pinches my fingers ) close to destroying a village soon #and yah... gave him a marking similar to griss though it isn't too similar and zephia's just regretful of abandoning them #smth smth religious confusion and unhealthy solitude if it was a kid

You know how you hc that the twins battle each other all the time, and thus are basically their hardest opponents? That post you made about Ingo's brutal Path of Solitude made me desperately want Ingo and Emmet challenging each other to various versions, sometimes with Ingo having the upperhand like in the game, sometimes with Emmet making Ingo use a wurmple against a staraptor. And sometimes, for fun, they even make it a double battle. They make the most buff pokemon in existence and everyone is sufficiently terrified

they so would frfrfr. wait this reminds me i had two sort of mutually exclusive path of solitude points i wanted to make in the same post i'm just gonna do it here hang on

1) ingo was really like, here's a new style of battle challenge i'm introducing that's literally not done anywhere else even in the future, i invented it myself. the challenge is you have one single pokemon and you have to face a very difficult opponent and you're not allowed any other help than what you go in with and you're all alone forever. this is based on absolutely nothing at all and was inspired by nothing. i am fine.

2) path of solitude is really like turbo single battles honestly like of course the guy who is The Single Battles One came up with this. what do you think emmet would have done if he was here instead. would he be like ok pick a pokemon and i'm giving you an entirely random partner. no planning beforehand gotta figure it out when you open the pokeball and we start the battle. dwi.

#the nemesis speaks #the nemesis answers #anonymous #pla analysis #i do have Feelings about path of solitude though if i think abt it too much #like i said it in that first point but i said it goofy but i do really mean it.#even the name is kind of insane. Path of Solitude. cmon.#he got the chance to make up a battle challenge and he said let's make it about being alone by yourself with nobody around to help #but also. i think it is also partially about him dialing up the unique single battle challenge up to 11 #since he does see singles as a unique challenge. like the default battle style is multis. obvi. his preference for singles is like a choice #he likes the difficulty of negotiating a potentially very adverse battle situation with only the limited toolset of a single partner #and path of solitude is that But More #like i said kind of mutually exclusive but i mean them both simultaneously ok.#anyway. yeah.#ACTUALLY can you imagine ingo introducing emmet to the concept and he describes it and emmet's like yeah this seems fun #like it's a big investment in misc pokemon opponents but it's a cool challenge #so like what strength level were you thinking-#and ingo's like oh idk maybe like 80 #and emmet's like okay. hm. maybe we dial it back just a tiiiiny bit

i want to be a body for you...

#there’s a lot of stunning quotes in tihylttw but that line really stuck with me for some reason #I want to be a body for you. it goes hand in hand with the other one about being alone together. hang on a minute #''I sought loneliness when I was young. you've seen me there: on my promontory‚ patient and unaware.#but when I think of you‚ I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact.#I want to be a context for you‚ and you for me''#<- yeah that one #it's just. oh my god. I want to be a body for you. I sought loneliness but when I think of you I want to be alone together #I want to be a body for you. I want to be something you can perceive I want to be something you can hold #I want to be a body with all of the sensations and feelings that come with it so I can experience you. I want to be a body for you #I sought loneliness but when I think of you I want to be alone together #I've lived my life as nothing more than a consciousness floating from temporary body to temporary body. each body built to perfection #and cutting out the extraneous nuisances and needs that come with such a body. and even then I've sought solitude #I've sought loneliness but when I think of you I want to be alone together. I've never wanted the company of others but I need yours #I craved anonymity but I want to be seen and perceived by you and you alone.#it's about being known and perceived its about being a thing that CAN be known and perceived #I WANT TO BE A BODY FOR YOU. GOD #A BODY HAS ONLY EVER BEEN AN INCONVENIENT NECESSITY FOR ME BUT FOR YOU I *WANT* TO BE A BODY #I WANT TO BE A BODY FOR YOU #this is how you lose the time war #tihylttw
