#⅋ . 𓆩 ( arc ) — can it be sin to know? 𓆪

[stadam]

this will go in my carrd, too, but here's a quick rundown of my main verses. i'm always down to do any au / crossover, so this is non-exhaustive. 🕊️

KNIGHT OF HEAVEN / PRE-SERIES DEFAULT. in the heart of the holy see. for his service to the lord's design and abiding by heaven's project for mankind and the world, adam was let into heaven and his human soul was made divine, promoted into the archangel choir. he trained and was knighted by st. michael, shortly before being assigned commander of heaven's exorcist legion, the most brutal among heaven's armies. with the new task of annual crusades/exterminations within the infernal domain, to quell any potential rebellion and to showcase the might of heaven, under the justification of controlling for overpopulation. outside his formal duties, he is expected to conduct most of the ' dirty work ' in hell, outside the exterminations, as well, including certain negotiations with overlords and hell's nobility, some targeted assassinations of unruly demons, etc.

POST-SERIES DEFAULT. the choir is on fire. set post-season one of the series, adam does not die in the finale. in the wake of the battle at the hotel, the treat between heaven & hell was breached by the exorcists, through the act of harming the princess of hell. after a shameful defeat, the exorcist legion retreats back to heaven; adam is heavily injured but otherwise alive. for his disregard of the established law of the treaty, as well as for abysmal conduct as both commander and knight of heaven, and the committing of several war crimes, he is given a dishonourable discharge by the heavenly council. enraged, he shuns the orders of the council and sets his mind on retribution against lucifer & the kingdom of hell. ( up to plotting, but i imagine some / if not most of his exorcists follow him, given their loyalty, which might lead to a civil war in heaven whoops. )

FALLEN. wash blood with blood. an alternate take on the aftermath of the battle at the hotel, in which adam's death results in him ' falling ' from heaven, his soul deemed sinful. very much under development right now, toying with the idea of him swearing begrudging fealty to lucifer and / or lilith as their knight.

PARADISE LOST. can it be sin to know? an eden-adjacent verse, covering any events that may have occurred before the loss of eden and the unleashing of evil into the world. covers both his short time with lilith, as well as his life with eve prior to the fall. he is curious and enjoys picking up new tools, tricks, and learning more about the world around him.

Top 5 nightwing v2 moments and top 5 foods

ohh my godd nightwing 96 my beloved. truly some of the most INSANE character arcs and dialogues of all time. i still cant pick!

okay so i dont really remember which issues are V2 so if some of these are wrong just use your imagination, my fav moments from nightwing v2 in no specific order::

dick expressing his love and pride for tim. goshh that scene really was everything. dick watching and admiring tim just like people used to admire dick, feeling confident in his little brother and how much he's learning and how he's oh so better than him.

"God, I love that kid. I love him too much to let him see me like this."

especially with what comes after! tim actually taking the time to come to dick and ask him how he felt about the adoption. tim tells dick that bruce still needs him, needs to believe that dick is on his side, and by extension tim needs dick too. and dick's response! his justified anger bc he's in such a bad place rn and he does not wanna here about bruce's fake promises, especially coming from tim.

"Remember how I once told you that Batman needed a Robin? Well that's still true.

But even more than that, he... he needs you. You know, not like every second or whatever, but at the end of the day he needs to know that you're still on his side. It's...important."

and what does dick say?

YOU--! --You have no idea how much of my life I've wasted believing that was true.

2. the whole evil mob arc like "ooh look at me im so bad and evil and everything i touch rots" like babe aint nobody believing that except youu. quoting del's post (im pretty sure) dick grayson you look for your father's love in the most fucked up places <3

"You take as long as you need son, and when you're ready to come home just show up day or night."

3. the scene where roy comes to check up on dick?? hello??

"Nightwing? That you, man? Good to see you fighting the good fight bro!"

"Roy..."

"Ive been hearing all these crazy rumors that you've gone over to the dark side."

AND THEN- THE PUNCH. OUGH.

he is trying to keep roy away, if he keeps him at arm's length, makes sure he doesn't come back, then he won't get hurt. this is dick's mess and dick needs to fix it. classic deflection trick from the bat-book. he also doesn't want roy to see him like this. dick envies roy's sense of self...his ability to stay even when things get tough.

roy's abandonment issues vs dick's active detachment fight

4. the blockbuster monolgue scene... truly one of the best nightwing villains. feeding into dick's guilt complex... u can never go back and the way forward is washed with the consequences of your sins. it's an understatement when i say i lost my MIND reading this.

here's a link to the transcript of the post comparing grayson's dialogue vs taylor's reboot version

5. when dick goes to meet helena and she tells him

"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't pry them away from you with a crowbar."

referring to rose and sophia when dick asks helena to care for them--bc he trusts HER.

like.. deep down u know she is right. my girl was not taking his shit today. so much can be said about their relationship and about dick from this one scene but i'm afraid i don't have the words to say it. but i could link some great dickhelena metas here and here.

bonus: literally all the scenes with sophia and rose in them. i really disliked how they left that knot untied, there was so much potential there... so much love and discovery. never getting over them and their messed up little family of have beens and could bes..

as for my favorite foods.. that's a toughie. im a really picky eater so those vids you see on social media about going to restaurants and ordering chicken nuggets is exactly me. buttt here's a fragment of an answer::

i lovee my mom's homemade food. mama's cooking is always the best and whenever i venture anywhere away from home it's literally all i can think about. also i know all the love she puts into each and every fresh meal and there never passed a day she let me leave home on an empty stomach <3

the loml kfc fried chicken. look i LOVE chicken of all types- butter chicken, fried chicken, chicken kebab. but kfc chicken as my friday takeout meal has always been a staple in my life.

ALSO CHICKEN RENDANG MMM. THEY WERE REALLY COOKING WHEN THEY MADE THAT.

aloo paratha with butter. you can keep your pancakes and ur waffles there's nothing i'd rather have for breakfast than a yummy aloo paratha and i KNOW im not the only one.
