#Betrayal league

[frownyalfred]

in the realm of like, rich kid problems, I want to someday read/write a fic where Nightwing is slowly establishing himself as a full-fledged JL member and everyone is relieved because finally, there's a nice Bat on the Watchtower who doesn't just shoot down their plans and deny their mission requests. but. while Nightwing is kind, and polite, and charming in all the ways the Bat isn't, he's still Dick Grayson. and Dick Grayson grew up as a very rich kid's suddenly very rich kid, which is to say while Bruce might not take it personally, Dick has been fending off people almost his entire life who were trying to use him for his Dad's money. which is to say, I think once Nightwing is on board and the relationship between him and Batman is at least somewhat well-known, there is suddenly a rush of younger, less-experienced members trying to take advantage of Nightwing, mistaking that kindness and openness for willingness to either voluntarily, or involuntarily, infringe upon and cross Batman's clear-cut boundaries. bribing Dick for a better monitor shift with Batman is one thing (it doesn't really work, Dick can't bribe Bruce with much as it is) but trying to convince Nightwing to lie to Batman? to go against him? his dad? the man who pulled him up when he had nothing and gave him meaning again? that man?? and then comes the inevitable, chilling realization, that while Nightwing might wear a different mask, might wear an open smile on the Watchtower and with friends off-shift, there are some lines he won't cross, same as Bruce. he won't, sure as the sun rises and the rot rolls off the Gotham Harbor in the morning.

I can’t get over the fact that no matter what happens in Act 2 and 3 Vi will most likely never be this soft and trusting with Caitlyn again

the lanes are build upon loyalty, it's literally the vein that keeps the heart of the place standing, the way the council doesnt see it is insane.

from the very beginning they show that. Vanders first words we hear in the series are literally him showing loyalty and then, when threatened, the lanes showing him loyalty right back. betrayal always comes with loyalty, that doesnt stop it from existing though and thats what the council fails to see, always.

they see betrayal but they dont see the loyalty that has to come before that. they want to sit in their chairs up high and think they are better but they betray each other too. it's shown throughout the entire show. they just have DIFFERENT opportunities to betray and backstab.

marcus even said himself that "there is a crime behind every coin" in the undercity and the irony will for ever be that it was his crime that gave him a bloody coin.

the council is full of those coins they just have the water to wash the blood off.

ignorance at its finest truly.

Imagining Silco…

Laying crumpled and in excruciating pain after his fight with Vander. Shivering, reaching for hands that are no longer there to hold him close and share a phantom warmth.

Crying until he can’t breathe, because how could Vander do this to him, how could his Bedrock betray him?

Sick with fever from the infection in his eye, hallucinating and screaming to the ghost of a man who isn’t dead that he “never meant for any of this to happen.”

And then realizing that it wasn’t his fault. The final stage of grief, if you will. Acceptance.

He couldn’t control Vander’s reaction.

No, this agony, both emotional and physical, that he’s feeling?

That’s on the Hound.

And that dog is going to pay.

I just realized Mel and Swain should technically already know eachother. Mel is from one of the (formerly) most powerful noble families and Swain comes from one of the oldest in Noxus' history. They definitely must have known of eachother at least, if not exchanged vague pleasantries at a gathering or two. I'm not saying they were best friends back in Noxus because there's definitely at least a 10 year age gap between the two, but noble families keep up on eachother's happenings.

When Mel inevitably runs into Swain in Noxus she'll probably expect to see him missing an arm and walking with a cane after his defeat in Ionia. Swain would choose to keep himself in this form in front Mel until he's confident she'll take his side and help him with his coup against Darkwill. So what I'm saying is Swain should do a magical girl transformation in front of Mel in the spin off.

I have never turned against a character more quickly in my life.

Okay so the thing with JayVik is that it’s really the juxtaposition of Viktor with Mel (Jayce’s canon love interest of a time and who he clearly still has some kind kf feelings for) when it comes to Jayce it’s always Viktor and Mel literally one after the other. When Jayne hallucinates into the fire it’s Mel that morphs into Viktor. Like that brings to mind such a specific connotation.

Like I’m not a die hard Jay Vik honestly think they should just be a threesome with Mel. But like why are people acting so suprised? Why are the creators acting surprised that people see them romantically? Like y’all are the ones that did that! Nobody made you do that!😭😭. If you wanted their relationship to feel more brotherly then the people they should have contrasted them with is Jinx and Vi. Like I know narratively they mirror each other but imagery wise it’s not there. Like they did this with Silco and Vander they damn well could have done it with a Jayce and Viktor if they wanted but no they choose to contrast Viktor with Mel…… and you’re suprised by the ship?

It's so funny knowing Arcane fans who don't know LoL lore (either cuz they don't want spoilers or just didn't wanna look it up) are upset about Vi joining the enforcers/wardens.

I'm not mad at them for feeling this way, honestly. Because that reaction is pretty much lore-accurate! It IS unfortunate that Vi is joining the cops, the people every Zaunite hates. No one is happy about this. Not Ekko, definitely not Jinx, & especially not Vi. But the video game character is a cop so, this is where they had to take this story to.

Mid August 2017

“How was your first day back kid?” Tony asked, snagging a pizza roll. 

“It was great Mr. Stark!” Peter chirped immediately, popping the finger food like it was candy. “I have three classes with Mmmmuh friends- or friend- or with you know… yea with a friend.” 

“Uh huh.” Tony said leaning against the counter and trying not to tear up because God that little bundle of cheesy carbs had been hot! “Does this friend have a name?

“Well I mean yea. I mean it’s not a big deal. It’s MJ. They go by MJ.” 

“I see. And how long have you been crushing on MJ?” 

“It’s not a crush!” Peter rushes out. “She’s just a really good friend. I mean she’s so much more than a silly crush, she’s smart, and funny, and has this really awesome but sometimes terrifying and brilliant wit and -.”

“Okay slow down there Romeo.” Tony said, taking one of the last pizza rolls on a previously full plate and tearing it open to let some of the steam escape before he popped it in his mouth. “When are you gonna tell her?”

You've Got My Heart (I've Got Your Soul)

Finding your soulmate is supposed to be the happiest day of your life, Tim had been told. Everyone who'd ever said that cleary hadn't had their soulmate try to kill them on their first meeting. He's just special like that. The Justice League believing the Fentons and the GIW about ghosts is a nightmare scenario for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that they have Danny. Like hell is Tucker going down without a fight though. A simple rescue mission turns into much more when he finds his soulmates among the people he's supposed to be keeping distracted.
