like there is something genuinely so heartbreaking in the way that mikami used to care so much about helping other people but after he kept being rejected he was like well fuck you all. there's no way out of here is there. and just entirely disengaged from society outside of enacting punitive justice. maybe if we had gotten mikami a tumblr account he could've been sending horrific anon hate instead of prosecuting.

Do you believe Lightbearers are changed biologically from before they became Lightbearers?

Can't believe I forgot to answer this- I genuinely thought I did until I was scrolling through my inbox and saw it pop up again. Oops.

Anyways, my headcanon is that yes, Lightbearers are biologically different than non-Lightbearers- they become so when their ghost is rezzing them for the first time. During the first rez, their bodies are essentially restructured to better suit being a vessel of Light, with far greater phsyical resiliance, capacity, and overall durability being granted as a boon from the Traveler so that they're not torn to shreds when using even the most basal abilities. Even Lightless, they're still much stronger than a baseline human, they cannot age (their telomeres simply do not degrade and their DNA repair kit becomes more accurate, so they don't incur the gradual DNA loss/nonspecific remedies that lead to the maladies of old age), and they're still paracausally sensitive, even if their conduit for channeling the Light has been cut. Outside of the never-aging and paracasal-sensitivity thing, the effect isn't drastic, but they are still noticibly hardier than a person who'd never directly touched the light of the Traveler would be. Eris, Zavala, and Osiris could be beaten by a sufficiently strong mortal in an arm wrestling contest, for example, but they're all able to learn to use Darkness/walk off injuries with an ease that a Lightless mortal cannot.

After the first rez, additional permanant change is possible, but it requires either paracausal alteration (such as wounds created by Darkness, wounds that were earned and began healing in a no-light zone, or subconcious paracausal alteration, where the Guardian's own body rejects the touch of the Light), or deliberate ghost manipulation. I like to headcanon that by using the Light in much the same way that they would heal, Ghosts can learn to tweak parts of their guardian's bodies to be altered to their liking, which is a method by which transitioning post-rez occurs, in the instance that one was not an exo or did not medically transition before death. It's extremely delicate, but all they have to do is use their bond and the Light to go 'hey, you're missing something, you need to make more of this hormone or grow more of this tissue to fully heal', and bam, gender transed :) This fully depends on the skill of the ghost, however, so its a slow process even if it can theoretically lead to a full transition over time, and certain tissues can only atrophy so far before they need to be cut off. In the case of exos, all the ghosts need to do is block the mental disconnect between the body alterations and the perception of what those should be, and that's about it

Gotta be honest, Leo breaking into Draxum's house and blasting annoying music has got to be one of my favorite gags in Minor Interference, and it was literally a three am idea that i managed to write down

also I have no idea how animation works but this idea grabbed me in a chokehold and I had to make it a thing

I think the moment Light's crush on L first smacked him in the manga (like when it finally rooted and started blooming in his guts) was when L was like "you're my first ever friend" whilst smirking into his teacup. And not because Light fully believed he was being sincere about being friends, but because he KNEW L was slyly teasing him and speaking to him on more than one level at once. Nothing more unexpected funny flattering and intriguing than that for him right then

Character development in solo comics

Tim

Robin 1993 #1: analytical, ready to abandon his heroic role now that he's working with someone unstable, struggling to balance the two parts of his life, chronically telling lies and half-truths, manages to disappoint or offend his best friend and his girlfriend, strategic about everything--including relationships, detached

Robin 1993 #183: grim and determined, confident in his deductions, has lots of friends/allies and a full life but feels empty inside, supressing a lot of resentment, has to hurt the people closest to him and hates doing it, deals with impending doom by avoidance and detachment and shutting off emotions, is emulating Batman despite his intentions never to do so, ruthlessly outwits an enemy, resigned to circumstances but eager for his next adventure

Kon

Superboy 1994 #1: overconfident, smug, sarcastic, attention-seeking, flirtatious, reckless, unable to take anything seriously, seemingly unaware that he is being exploited, petulant about petty things like his jacket and his codename

Superboy 1994 #100: presents an overconfident and quippy front, protective of and almost parental with children, actively encourages others to do the right thing even if they've made mistakes, responsible, prioritizes saving lives, angry about a perceived betrayal but ready to forgive, heartbroken over a death that seems like the culmination of everything he's had to lose, disillusioned with being a hero and blames himself for ruining so many lives, but ultimately grateful for a chance to finally have a family and wants to be worthy of it

Grant

Damage #1: frustrated over a lack of control in his life, lives his life according to a rigid "system," desperate for connection, has trouble managing his anger, cannot control his new powers and accidentally destroys his school, distraught, sure that no one can ever come near him again

Damage #20: uses his latent telepathic powers to fight the virus controlling him, manages to will it out of his body and free himself, absorbs and controls more energy than he's ever had to by himself, in enough control of his powers to deflect the energy without an explosion, will be given the chance to redeem his public image, updates his appearance, connects with his biological father's godson and gets to learn about his heritage

Ray

The Ray 1994 #1: futilely looking for connection from someone who doesn't care about him, self-doubting, struggling with adult responsibilities, miserable and self-pitying, using his powers for frivolous things and feeling guilty about it, pettily squabbling with a sixteen-year-old

The Ray 1994 #28: standing up to his father, taking responsibility for the welfare of his brother and mother, realizing how far he has strayed from his principles, finds out that his gradual attachment to Savage is severely misplaced, self-critical but brave enough to do the right thing, takes in his brother, gives up his luxurious condo, finally gets to reconnect with his mother in his actual identity, has lost his job and still doesn't have a refrigerator but is thrilled to be loved and accepted

Bart

Impulse #1: naive, unaware of the difference between real and imaginary danger, struggling to function and socialize in school, resentful of Wally and Max, impatient and frustrated, reckless and heedless

Impulse #89: motivated by concern for others, using his powers in more intricate ways, responds to a mentor's out-of-control rage by reminding him of moral boundaries and the need to set him a good example, nevertheless unleashes some rage of his own, yet choose to calm himself and take a well-thought-out course of action, keeps in mind what Max has taught him, agrees to take things slowly in his relationship with Carol, has lost a lot of people he loves but is willing to love and be happy with those whom he still has

Another Truman show thing: the scene where Truman gets kinda physically violent, maybe with mu, she would break character maybe at one point (T3)

This was such an interesting concept, thank you!! OUGH I didn't realize my silly fix-it was capable of such angst until I started writing 😭😭😭 There's no graphic violence/gore, but still warning for Es pushing Muu around.

Muu’s tears for Haruka may not have been real, but these ones were definitely genuine. If anything, she’d been jealous that Haruka got to spend the majority of this trial in the plushy facility rooms with good meals, while the others were still in these cold cells. However, face-to-face with Es, who was grieving someone she cared just as deeply about, she found her sobs came easily.

“You could have stopped him.” Everything about Es was shaking – their voice, their hands, and as she would soon realize, their composure. “Why didn’t you stop him?”

“I d-didn’t know…” She covered her mouth, shaking her head frantically. “I didn’t -hic- think he would…”

“But you did!” Es’s arm flung out, knocking over their chair. The clatter rattled in Muu’s ears. “You knew, because we all knew!”

Muu leapt up, in part due to the clatter startling her, and in part to speak her piece. “Then why didn’t you stop it? If you -hic- if you had just –”

“If I had just what? Forgiven you?” They roared.

“O-o-or him!” 

“You’re trying to pin the blame on me? How dare you!”

Es shoved her backwards. She gasped as she hit the concrete wall.

“But why -hic- why is it my fault? You let it happen, and he did, and Shidou, and everyone!” 

“You really can’t take an ounce of responsibility, can you?” 

Muu tried to flee, but as emphasis on their last words, Es pushed her again. She went flailing and grabbed onto Es’s uniform. The pair went tumbling to the ground, Es still trying to jerk her around. Muu winced at the pain as she slammed into the cold stone.

“Why are you doing this to me? -hic- It wasn’t me, I swear!”

“It was all you!”

Es was on top of her, their voice shrill and their eyes wild. She had always thought it was an exaggeration when Jackalope gave them notes to make their eyes look so intense and frenzied in their videos. 

All of the sudden, she realized that people really do have that look when they’re ready to kill you.

“You monster!” 

Muu’s vision sparked as Es’s palm struck her cheek. She’d never been slapped before. The sting seemed to seep all the way under her skin. 

“People like you are –!” 

Their words were cut short as Muu delivered a slap of her own. She hadn’t meant to. She’d been so focused on keeping her mouth shut, and not blurting out the best defense (“he’s not dead!”), she hadn’t even considered her self preservation instincts would kick in. Her whole body itched to throw Es off, to hurt them before they could hurt her. In all honesty, it was a miracle she’d only tried a slap.

The pair stared at each other with wide eyes. The shock had snapped Es out of their fury.

“But you… how…”

The prison bell rang, far earlier than it should have.

Muu shook her head. “I… don’t know…” 

As the room changed shape around them – revealing intricate parts of machine that did absolutely nothing – she lay there crying. Crying about what Es had said. Crying from fear of them. Crying that she may have ruined the whole experiment. Crying because in every way, she had failed the people she wanted to help.

Es rose, stumbling away from her. 

“Muu.” Their voice was hoarse. “I didn’t mean for things to get out of hand.” Their eyes flicked nervously to her, wondering what had caused this sudden breach of the prison’s main restriction. “Perhaps… Milgram makes exceptions when I’ve taken things too far. I… I didn’t mean to push you to that point.”

She nodded weakly, rising off the ground. She took her seat again. 

There was a moment where they both sat in heavy silence; both afraid of what Es was capable of. 

“Prisoner 004, sing your sins.”

That other cicada post made me so nostalgic, I dug up an ancient photo archive! This cicada emerged in the summer of '09 in my dorm room. You can see the four wings shimmering in diaphanous color :)

For all the reasons I've seen for people to either love or hate James's arc in V8, I've never once seen anyone bring up his semblance. Specifically, I've never seen anyone mention what a disservice it was to have it merely mentioned on Twitter and never once bring it up in any sort of way in the actual show.

I hate information being released on the side and never once being brought up in the canon in any sort of way. It's lazy. It is relying solely on the audience to have seen it and to take your word for it. It's like adapting a book into a show or film but leaving out important details about the world and/or characters, relying on the audience to have read the book first (which a vast majority of them will not have done).

James's semblance, to put it simply, is tunnel-vision. It "strengthens his resolve to carry through with tough decisions", basically cancelling out rational thought and ignoring consequences. This is a major piece of information about James's behavior that is never once brought up, and because of that I can understand why a lot of people didn't like his 180 heel turn into antagonist territory--I didn't either for the longest time, and because of this a part of me still doesn't. While parts of his downfall were done subtly and done well, this particular part of it was not.

"But why would his semblance ever be brought up in conversation?" Good question, one that could be easily answered by the three characters in the cast that definitely should know about James's semblance: Qrow, Ozpin, and Watts. Qrow and Ozpin had been working with James for years, and before that it is implied that Watts and James also worked together for a period of time, getting to know each other fairly well. It makes absolutely no sense for neither of these three to ever once bring up the fact that James's behavior is likely due to his semblance interfering with his ability to make decisions. Hell, I can even imagine Watts being delighted by this; Watts knowing how James's semblance works and how to take advantage of it would definitely benefit Salem.

James Ironwood was such a fascinating character, but the fact that his semblance felt like an afterthought is a major disservice to his arc, in my opinion.
