#JUST IMAGINE THE ANGST POTENTIAL!!!

[moonlit-lune]

Random realization when listening to Scylla

I've heard that in the original Oddysey, Polites is supposed to die under Scylla.

In the EPIC lore, Eurylochus was assigned death by Oddyseus because he opened the bag. This is concluded by how Oddy asked Eury to light up the torches, thus making him a visible target.

Joining the two dots together: If Polites survived Polyphemus, would that mean that Polites would be the one who opened the bag in Eury's place?

My angsty brain: So… Callum’s Dad died of some kind lung condition, eh? Sure would be a shame if that was hereditary

DPxDC Prompt:

The next blow sent the human tumbling into the wall. It wheezed and spat up a gob of blood, pulling itself up on trembling arms and legs.

Pathetic.

“So this is the mortal who captured our young king’s attention. The so-called warrior who he trusted with the sacred duty of guarding his core.”

A shadowed hand pinned it to the wall and it uselessly pawed at the blade-like claws pressed against its fragile throat.

“How a weakling like you seduced High King Phantom, I’ll never know.”

The human squeezed its eyes shut. I’m sorry Danny, it mouthed with cracked and bleeding lips.

The impudence.

Slammed into the ruined bricks once more, the human let out a breathless cry.

“You dare address him like that. You dare to call upon his living name!” Dagger sharp teeth dripped shadowy ectoplasm inches from the mortal’s flesh.

“I’m doing him a favor, disposing of you.”

There was silence.

Then.

The human looked up with glowing green eyes.

A wave of unearthly force erupted from its body.

A dual layered voice echoed out from its miserable throat.

“Oh you just made a BIG mistake.”

I have seen a few DCxMarvel dimension travel fics, and quite a few of them are of them are Peter Parker post-blip. Which gives me a crack fic idea: everyone who got snapped ended up in the DC universe. Yes, all of them.

The current world population is around eight billion, so half of that would be 4 billion... Yeah that would cause so so so many problems. But the DC universe is used to crazy shit.

Obviously there would be a sudden influx of "new" heroes and villains but with absolutely no context it is hard to figure out who is who.

Batman immediately trying to make contingency plans for all these new heroes and villains as well as figure out their civilian identities but this is very difficult because literally no records exist yet.

Magic users from both worlds team up, but I think they were still unable to fix it, the infinity stones were just too powerful. Also I think Dr. Strange and Constantine can't stand each other.

While I am at it, Wonder Woman and Loki would probably hate each other too. DC is more Greek but it has had their own version of Norse mythology, so maybe they are the same and have beef?

They would struggle to feed and house that many new people, but getting them jobs and integrating them into society would be hard too. And good luck proving anything anyone says. "You swear you have a law degree from Harvard? Okay I guess."

Do doubles exist? Yeah a lot of people probably don't have an alternate universe double, but it stands to reason some do. How do you deal with having a new kind-of twin? Or a dead friend or relative coming back, but different? Or even someone you never knew/doesn't exist in this world insisting they are family.

Some au double ideas I have seen people toss around are: Dick Grayson as Richard Parker, Kara Danvers as Carol Danvers, Steve Trevor as Steve Rogers, and Slade Wilson as/being somehow related to Wade Wilson, but I am sure there are other fun ideas out there too.

The snap didn't just affect humans/earth! So other planets are having the same problems.

Then randomly, five years later, just when people were getting used to the change, they all disappear again without warning. This causes as many problems as the original appearance did.

need more chaggie wing fics where charlie is just absolutely obsessed w vaggie's wings like look at her face

she's obsessed and with good reason too

[beartitled]

The last comic is so funny but also, uh, if Bill survives, imagine being him. One moment you see cool new people from the same way as stars (yay maybe you can be friends) and next moment your mom is dead and maybe nothing good actually ever comes from up there. Maybe stars were not your friends either.

I’m already drawing stuff for evil cipher parents AU, DON’T DIVE ME MORE IDEAS💥💥💥/silly

Aw glad you liked the comic ❤️

But yea

Imagine the traumatised edgy Bill, who’s motivation is to destroy the stars to revenge his family

This guy would have trust issues, no, Trust Issues, those deserve capital letters

And a survivor syndrome too (*insert yellow triangle blaming himself for surviving and having consistent panic attacks*)

God the angst potential is immaculate 👁️

[damfangirl08]

Legend being scared of the knights of the chain, especially Warriors, is one of my favorite headcanons because there is so much angst potential for both him and the knights.

Like Warriors being scared of traitors being extra on egde around Legend because it seems like Legend doesn't trust him and Legend won't open up to anyone about anything so Legend thinks Warriors is going to kill him while Warriors thinks Legend is going to stab him in the back

To clarify for fellow crows, Philza responded to someone asking if he'd log onto the qsmp server ever again with, "Not sure, I like how we ended it, but not sure." And at this point, q!Phil's in a long sleep alongside his children.

His response is somewhat in the same vein as Pac's, in that things are uncertain right now. There's nothing definitive; they would've said as much if they were never going to go onto the server again (i.e. Philza did not mince words when he said he would very likely not join Dream SMP for their [hypothetical] season 2). With the loss of their children - as well as how few people log on currently - a lot of their motivation to log on has diminished. It's possible time will heal the heartbreak, and maybe in that time, things on the QSMP improve, more cc's rejoin/join, and maybe these streamers will feel comfortable with rejoining again. And their current endings can easily be adjusted to have them return in some way (i.e. Philza just, well, waking up lol). And in the case of things not getting better, in case they still don't want to rejoin, well, they have their endings all set. No extra work needed!

But it's important to note that either of these outcomes are possible. It's not "they're never ever coming back to the server" or "oh they'll definitely be back soon :)". Nothing is set in stone. Just keep these things in mind, is all.

omg for fandomstuck 2023 imagine homestuck waking up from a 4(?) year coma only to find out that like 93% of his friends and people he knew are either dead or altered beyond recognition and all these new weirdos are here

i think that the concept of haskill + mantling as a gradual process is the coolest everever, because imagine you serve a god for ages but regularly hes replaced by another person... haskill knows sheogorath's personality will overtake the HoK's eventually but theres still a period where sheo's essentially died and been replaced, and this new person barely knows him even if he technically knows everything about them. i imagine theres a lot of onesidedness, cos haskill's unfalteringly loyal to / caring for / knowledgeable about someone who basically doesn't know who he is and maybe its a little tragic for him to watch sheogorath forget himself over and over

i can imagine him bringing (for example) tea to the HoK a few months into their mantling transformation, and the HoK is like "wow i didn't even know i liked this kind of tea before" and haskill just stoically goes "very good, your grace" but inside he knows that, of course they like it, its sheogorath's favorite. ough. agh. ough <- taking overtime poison damage from this thought

man we all know charlie had an emo phase but I really wanna explore the possibility she wasn't always the charlie we see now. she wasn't always gentle or kind or optimistic and all of those things are hard-won after battling the opposite. that maybe at some point, bitterness and anger and spite started eating her alive and she changed for herself first. that her kindness is selfish at its root, that her altruism is self-serving above all else, because if she kept on the same path, there might be nothing else left of her. and at some point it stopped being about her and started to be about others.

and as a bonus? this version of charlie would pair perfectly with a version of vaggie who wasn't always guilt-ridden, who truly believed in her cause. who was lethal and ruthless and loved what she did because she believed and ultimately it was what did her in. who had truly never hesitated before that child, because extermination wasn't just a necessity, it was a game. entertainment.

idk I just. I love their dynamic already so much but the contrast of charlie becoming optimistic for herself vs vaggie developing guilt and shame over others, and both of them finding the harmony between those extremes?
