#Justice For The Eight

[georgiacooked]

Throwing a spotlight on my favourite Doctor Who/Big Finish character(s) today, with my newest sticker sheet!

Featuring the renegade Time Lord, the Eleven (and Two, and Eight, and Nine, and Twelve, and The Union...) These guys are the reason I fell in love with BF, so it only felt fair to give them a sheet.

Only drawing the regenerations we've met so far, because I'm not that flush with time.

Things Bruce Wayne does at Justice League meetings that 100% confirm the fact that he is a Dad.

Makes attempts at referencing pop culture to try and relate to the younger members. The most memorable instance is when he told Flash to “keep running up that hill.” (Dick laughs for an hour when Wally tells him about it.)

Does the iconic groan/grunt whenever he sits down in his chair. It’s hilarious, but no one is dumb enough to laugh at the Batman.

Ensures that the background music exclusively plays Matchbox 20 and Nirvana. Diana is the only one who enjoys this.

Actively complain about how everyone is “ruining his floor” whenever they push back their chairs.

On that note, he also complains about crumbs getting everywhere whenever someone is snacking.

Will (covertly) ask Clark for grilling tips during breaks. Oliver overhears this once and has to go lay down out of shock, because Batman? Grilling?

Declines requests for new equipment/tools/etc. because they “have that at the Watchtower.” This inevitably leads to complaining from the entire JL.

Always, without fail, will ask Hal if he’s changed the oil in the spacecraft recently. Hal doesn’t know whether to be offended or not.

Randomly interrogates members on if they’ve messed with the Hall of Justice’s thermostat. They have not, in fact, touched the thermostat.

Someone needs to stop me because I literally cannot get the image of Bruce being the Typical Dad (tm) of the Justice League.

Does the JL know that YJ has just casually been beefing with darkseid??

imagine there’s a all hands on deck battle against darkseid and everyone is there but darkseid points out the nearest yj member (it’s probably Bart) like ‘you!!! You managed to escape with your lives last time but this meeting will be our last’ and for a split second Clark’s so fucking confused bc we haven’t fought in years wtf are you talking about then he hears ‘oh shit, look it’s Doug’ and everyone turns to see Bart nudging Kon going ‘he’s talking to you…damn he must still be mad about the coal’ and kons shoving him back bc ‘you were the one fucking around with his coal, you fucking walnut’ while Cassie’s being scruffed by wonder woman bc they’re trying to avoid being around when the jl finds out and tims having a very intense silent conversation lecture about why tf there’s at least half a dozen yj mission reports that mention an assailant named ‘Doug’ 

then Constantine shows up with Greta and everyone (including darkseid) starts yelling and if you don’t know her Greta seems like the one with the ownership of the braincell in yj (she is not but I guess she looks like it from a distance if you squint) which goes one of two ways:

retired-civilian!greta is giggling and waving excitedly to each member of yj along with hal before she practically tackles each of them in a tight hug while the titans, jl, & jl: dark lose their collective shit bc Constantine brought a tiny civilian dressed in pastel floral prints from head to toe into an active battle with fucking darkseid, a civilian who doesn’t register as a threat in any capacity until she makes eye contact with darkseid and gives him the most disgusted look imaginable “Doug… you look…well.” and then like three jl members have to stop her from leaping at darkseid while Hal’s like ‘no! No no, bad Greta! We don’t fight supervillains with…what is that?? I really fucking hope that’s not a gun…Is-is that fucking silly string?! Greta no we don’t silly string supervillains! We’ve talked about this!’

or

never-retired!/recently-out-of-retirement!greta who does the same thing but when she notices darkseid she rocks his shit in eight seconds flat and starts muttering about ‘that fucking Doug, always ruining my goddamn day’ and Hal is the first one to recover from the shock/confusion but only to tell Greta she’s grounded which gets another irritated ‘fucking doug!’ while Wally and Barry are losing it at Mach 6 while Bart tries to explain himself also at Mach 6, Cassie manages to catch Wally’s exasperated ‘where the fuck did you get Doug from?!’ And responds with ‘Apokolips’ in a tone that means they’re questioning his intelligence which leads to more screaming bc ‘so you knew who he was?? Why didn’t you come to us??’ and they all back up Kon when he claims they told Lex bc that means they have at least 3 hours of freedom while Lex is getting yelled at by the jl (and honestly every cape over 24)

Klarion is underutilized as a character in fanfics because you can make up the most batshit crossover ideas and just say "Klarion thought it would be funny" and it works. He did find it funny. He found it fucking hilarious.

Batfamily in game of thrones. Arrow family in stardew valley. The justice league are in Percy Jackson causing issues specifically for Wonder Woman and Shazam.

[audliminal]

Thinking about Ankarna's offers of justice. Thinking about the bad kid's resounding refusal. Thinking about how the definition of justice that Ankarna is used to expecting is rooted in vengeance and battle. Thinking about the bad kids slowly teaching Ankarna a new definition of justice; one rooted in compassion and change. One rooted in rebellion, in saying the current system isn't good enough, in demanding better from the world. Thinking about Ankarna becoming a goddess of protests and boycotts, of restitution and reparation. Thinking about Ankarna learning to fight with her voice as much as her fists.

oooh wait so the plot hole of “why doesnt a spirit medium just channel the victims spirit” is literally bc the DL-6 spirit channeling cant be repeated huh

Sitting here trying to think which Batkid would use a magic eight ball to make decisions for themselves and/or their team.

I just know that Batman throws his magic eight ball at a team member and, with a deadpan expression, says: "Think fast."

25 Minutes. . .

Two oddly dressed men walked into a shabby elevator located inside an even more dilapidated building. Both of them were dressed in blue clothing, one in a more conservatively decorated trench coat than the man next to him with the much longer overcoat. Both carried swords that one could tell at a glance matched what would be their personalities should they have been compelled to speak. The taller of the two carried an air of severity that slid off of his rigid stance, making it all the more obvious when also considering the katana on his hip. The shorter one had more of a bored but still lively appearance that complimented the odd design of the weapon carried on his back. What seemed to be the most interesting was the fact that both of them were carrying a mountain of pizza boxes.

"Home sweet base." Nero sighed numbly as he stepped off the elevator.

Followed shortly by the man that was biologically his father, the pair of them trudged casually down the hallway towards the apartment they were currently staying in the next few weeks. As they stopped in front of the hastily repaired door, Nero shifted his load of pizza boxes to one arm and abruptly moved them on top of Vergil's pile.

"Do me a favor and hold this." He crassly asked as he dig around in his coat pockets for his set of keys.

Vergil took an investigative sniff from the new mound of food in front of him and tried not to recoil from them so hard as to drop them, "I honestly don't understand how you lot can eat this dredge. I could smell the grease even before we entered the parlor."

"We paid extra for your veggie deluxe on thin crust, so shut up." Nero countered as he finally found the key he was looking for. Vergil noticed his son taking a moment to himself, letting out deep breaths almost like he was centering himself.

"Is everything alright?" He asked, keeping his tone deceptively neutral.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just..." Nero started before leaning his head back and sighing heavily again.

"I will never say this willingly to his face, not in a million years, but... I like Dante. As far as Uncles go, he's not bad considering what this family is like. But lately I've started wondering if you getting kidnapped as a child didn't inadvertently prevent you from killing him earlier in your lives."

"What I find to be more interesting is the fact that you're only now asking yourself this question after having to deal with not only him, but someone who is almost exactly like him on top of that." Vergil retorted as an eyebrow raised in evaluation.

"I wouldn't say he's exactly like him." Nero countered as he slid the key into the lock, "I mean, he's dorky, but I wouldn't-"

"Dorky? What is that word?" Vergil interrupted suddenly.

"it's like a nicer way of calling him a bumbling idiot." His son answered after a moment of thought.

"I'd rather you just call him a bumbling idiot." Vergil muttered sorely.

"I don't know, I feel like that's a bit harsh for him. I know he means well and all and he's the one that's stuck here." Nero rambled on as he pushed the door open, moving past the threshold just enough to take back his stack of boxes from Vergil's hold.

"Are his jokes corny? Sure, but unlike Dante, I like to think he actually has a little tack." Nero continued as he walked into the main living area and headed for the kitchen. Neither of them got very far before they heard a loud crash and a shout coming from a connecting room off of the living room.

"Oh God, Dante!" The now familiar voice of their interdimensional visitor sounded nowhere near distressed and more joyful instead.

Nero just groaned as roughly dropped the pizza boxes on the counter before marching over to the doorway that opened up into the game room-turned-battle plan room.

"We were gone for less than twenty five minutes and you two are already wrestling?!" He shouted as he quickly rounded the corner to look at the two of them. Anger quickly turned into confusion, then shock, and finally comically vocal disgust and Nero practically sprinted away from the open door frame.

"NOPE, NOT WRESTLING! DEFINITELY NOT WRESTLING!" Nero yelled as he ran past Vergil to head towards the bathroom.

Now curious, Vergil carefully placed his batch of boxes down on the counter and made his way over to where his brother was most likely being a source of the distressing incident. Rounding the same corner, the first thing he noticed was Dante in a state of partial undress while standing in front of what was once a cluttered pool table. His shirt was hanging around an elbow with his pants just barely hanging on his hips. He was busy trying to pull a pant leg over one of his boots as he hopped on the other leg. Still not understanding what had happened, his vision soon caught movement from under the table that resembled Kafka Hibino, a man that had become trapped in their world and was currently rooming with Dante as they all figured out a way to send him back. Looking past the discarded documents and game pieces that once stood for allies and enemies now on the floor, he could also see that Kafka was much more naked than his brother, having only his boxers to his name. With all the pieces in front of him, did he finally realize what could cause his son to run out of the room.

"Really Dante, really? He's not from here!" Vergil cried as he figured out what had happened while they were gone.

"Wow, and after all that bonding we had just to find out you're a racist." Dante tried to joke as he quickly shuffled his pants higher around his waist.

"I mean he's not from this world!" Vergil attempted to counter back, still reeling from the revelation that his brother was and apparently is trying to... court the Kaiju from another realm.

"You say that like it's a problem. It's not like I'm going to get him pregnant or anything?" Dante argued as he fixed his shirt back over his head.

"Damn, so those last twenty minutes are all for nothin', huh?" Kafka cackled as his head popped over the pool table with a shit eating grin.

"Kafka, now's not the time." Dante replied as a hand came up to rub at his face.

"Right, yep, sorry." Kafka muttered as he dove back down to look for more of his clothes only to peer back over the table again.

"Uhh... pants?" he asked cryptically, directing the question towards Dante.

After taking a closer look at the khakis he was wearing, he turned towards his partner.

"Ahhh, shit, I think I'm wearing them." He muttered apologetically.

"That's fine. I think I see your pj pants over here anyway." Kafka answered as he quietly crawled away from the table.

There were so many emotions running through Vergil's mind that it almost felt like he was physically shutting down. Just standing there, vibrating in what was mostly shock and anger and it only spiraling worse from there. The only action he could bring himself to do before he blew his top and did something drastically worse was to scream at them all over again.

"Honestly, on God's Green Earth, how did you manage to fall in love with someone who's more of a bumbling idiot than you are!?"

"HEY! I resemble that statement!" Kafka shouted back as he clumsily leapt up from the floor and held onto the edge of the pool table for balance.

"It's "Resent" that statement Darlin'." Dante corrected gently.

"Oh, is that the word?" Kafka asked before he clicked his tongue in disappointment, "Damn, English got me again."

"Seriously though!" Nero bellowed out as he stomped his way back from the bathroom to scold them some more, "Twenty five minutes is not a lot of time! Were you two just waiting for us to leave and-" As he came around where Vergil was standing he made the mistake of looking Dante in the eyes and was immediately reminded of what he saw when he first walked in.

"Nope, shit, I looked again." He bemoaned as his hands came up to his eyes and walked away.

Vergil just heaved an almost signature sounding sigh of disappointment and shook his head solemnly, "When you two feel like you can behave like actual members of society... There's food on the counter."

"Oooh, food!" Kafka chirped as he wrangled his shirt back on.

The pair of them took an extra second to straighten out their outfits better before walking into the open living room and kitchen. Nero was digging around in the fridge and loudly knocking around glass bottles while Vergil took his time separating out the pizza boxes into three piles. Nero eventually pulled his head out of the fridge and smacked the cap of a beer bottle on the edge of the door, swiftly popping it off. He took several swigs of it before turning around to face the boxes, only to develop a look of disgust once he saw Kafka's outfit.

"Not the Elmo pants..." He whimpered in repulsion.

"What? What's wrong with Elmo?" Kafka fired back in confusion.

"They're his pants!" Nero exclaimed as he gestured to Dante with the hand holding the bottle.

"Yeah and he's wearing mine. Trust me, I'd love to take them back off of him, but you know, three's company and all that." Kafka joked with a touch of anger in his voice. Nero just groaned weakly and opened his pizza box.

"I don't think I can even bring myself to eat this now." He commented unenthusiasticaly.

"You probably shouldn't anyway. The amount of grease on that could kill a lesser demon, I think." Vergil sneered as he tucked into his thin crust.

"And just like that, I'll eat it to spite you." Nero countered as some joy came back into his manner.

"Aw, It all looks so good!" Kafka exclaimed as he saw the spread, " Oh, is that mushroom?" He asked innocently as he looked at Vergil's pizza.

"Don't" Vergil answered threateningly as his thumb clicked open the top of his katana.

"Juuust askin'." Kafka chuckled nervously as he held his hands up defensively.

"Here." Nero commanded as he shoved a smaller box in Kafka's direction, " Take your loaded tots and leave."

"Geeze, I know where I'm not wanted." Kafka growled woefully, "I'll be on the roof I guess."

"Hey." Dante said softly as a gentle hand came around Kafka's wrist, "I'll meet you up there in ten, okay?" He offered with a wink, hoping to cool the sting from the rude reception.

Kafka just smiled and leaned back to plant a quick kiss to Dante's scratchy cheek. He turned and took his food out the apartment and clicked the door behind him. All three watched with varying expressions. Dante was smirking and content, Vergil was unreadable as usual, and Nero looked like he wanted to set the door on fire.

"So many questions, and I don't want an answer to any of them." Nero muttered as he harshly chewed through the stringy cheese.

Hey, soooooo.... Guess who finished the Devil May Cry show over on Netflix...

Only thing I'm gonna say about it is that it's another contender for the long list of shows that fall under the category of "If You Didn't Grow Up on the Source Material, It's Not Bad."

Like, I can see where people might have broken out the torches and pitchforks over a few things, but it wasn't overall a bad watch. Funnily enough, It's almost like Kaiju Number 8. As in, "It's not Ground-Breaking or anything, but just mindless good fun."

@sonicasura made a post a while back about how if Dante and Kafka met, they would definitely be compatible as lovers and would have an interesting dynamic and after having watched the show I Get It Now. Mentally could not stop thinking about this AU so this is another instance of "If I don't write this down NOW, I'm not going to get anything done on anything else." I have so much in my head about this I honestly could make a fan game over this.

Also I feel like I should specify that Vergil and Nero aren't homophobic, they just don't like Kafka. Mainly because it's like working with a version of Dante that YOU KNOW he doesn't have to act like that constantly, but not only is that his default personality it's a less suave version that feels more annoying to them.

Free Tarot Reading: Why did X happen?

Today's free reading is going to look deeper at why something in your life happened. I am answering the following questions:

What is X?

Why did X happen?

How can/did you grow from X?

Choose an X above and find your group below the cut:

What is X? Knight of Swords

You may have started a project and, in the middle of it, it abruptly ended. You thought you had all of the resources you needed – money, people to back the project, a solid plan – so when it ended it was really disappointing. You’re not quite sure what went wrong or why the project couldn’t get off the ground. The main point of concern keeps coming back to the people. Why did people decide to stop investing?

Why did X happen? Seven of Cups rev.

At some point during this project, there were too many cooks in the kitchen. Since it was your idea originally, you took the reigns back and decided to make executive decisions. While this isn’t always a bad thing, it feels like people may have stepped back from working with the project because they didn’t feel their voices being heard. Additionally, there were a lot of short term goals as the project was getting starting rather than looking at the bigger picture, so the small things didn’t necessarily add up to reaching the ultimate goal.

How did/can you grown from X? Ace of Swords rev.

This situation is helpful for you as you move forward with other big ideas (or even if you try this one again!). You are excited about ideas so you want to get them off the ground, but this can be a reminder that taking time to plan is just as important as the execution of the plan. Create SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound), allow others to provide feedback, and find a balance between leading and collaborating. Something else that you may have/can learn from this is to wait on announcing ideas until you have a rough draft. It may have been too early in the planning stages of the original project and that made it asier for a lot of opinions to be thrown around. Come in with an outline/structure which allows for some movement, ideas, and opinions, but isn’t a complete blank slate.

What is X? Six of Swords & Page of Cups rev.

There is/was someone in your life who was holding you back. You are inspired, full of ideas and plans for the future, and have always been someone who’s been able to move forward. Someone came into your life and once they did, you felt dragged down. This person has an immature nature about them. They are a bit narcissistic and childish, but think they are mature and know what they are talking about. It has become incredibly frustrating for you. You feel like you have to put your needs on the back burner in order to avoid chaos. For some of you, you may have distanced yourself from this person for a while, but now they are coming back into your life and you don’t know what you are doing to do. You’ve finally gotten back into your groove – will they mess it up again?

Why did X happen? Knight of Wands rev.

Although frustrating, this person came into your life because the delays in your progress were necessary. Whatever you were trying to achieve at the time where they swooped in and paused your work was not going to be successful if you were to have finished it then and there. I feel like my mom when I say that this also happened to “build character”. In a less annoying sense (for me lol), this person was there to teach you patience – not necessarily patience in people, but in not achieving your goals as quickly as you want. Without this person, there would have been risk of impulsiveness and built up energy.

How can/have you grown from X? Three of Pentacles

On a personal level, having this person in your life will ultimately help you appreciate other people who come into your life. Knowing that the person came into your life to help delay progress may help you see people on another level. “There is a reason this person came into my life. Let’s find out why.” It doesn’t mean you have to enjoy spending time with them, lol, but it will help it be less frustrating when the people around you are frustrating.

Regarding the goal(s), it has been aided in growth by the delay. Now that more time as passed, you will be more objective, have a more solid plan, and know where you can get resources to help it flourish.

What is X? Two of Cups

This has “the one who got away” energy for me. Whether it was a romantic partner or a platonic friendship, someone who you loved and had a great partnership with isn’t in your life anymore. You’re wondering what the point was for this person to bring beauty to your life just for it to be ripped away.

Why did X happen? The Lovers & Nine of Swords

They came into your life because you deserved to know that this type of love exists. You deserve to know that, even in your darkest moments, you are loveable and worth the effort. This person was likely the first person in a long time that you were able to be vulnerable with. You learned how to trust again. You learned how to communicate. In terms of why they had to leave, I think it’s as simple as they weren’t meant to be. It’s not an easy answer to accept and it still probably doesn’t make sense. But the time that you had together really shaped you to be successful in new relationship(s) to come.

How can/have you grown from X? Eight of Wands rev. & Ace of Wands

This relationship is bringing you back to the root of YOU. It has probably started already. There are days you doubt your worth because the person did leave, but each day it gets easier to remind yourself that you are worthy. This person has lit a fire under you to live your life for yourself because you finally know that you deserve good things. They showed you the potential that relationships can have and that you have within them. You can move forward from this relationship with optimism for the future.  

What is X? The Tower & King of Wands

Your X was a huge tower moment for you. There was sudden change followed by chaos. Everything that you knew was turned upside down. You had a plan for your future. You could visualize opportunities ahead and see the steps to get there. It feels like you’re expected to build the tower back up but there aren’t any directions to tell you how.

Why did X happen? Justice

I’m not being told exactly what happened that caused the tower moment, but it seems like the actions that were being taken were not in your highest good or the highest good of others involved. Unfortunately, the collapse of the tower was the consequences to those actions. Someone did not stand by decisions that they made and left everyone to their own devices. There was a missing level of ethicality and fairness.  

How can/did you grown from X? Knight of Pentacles

This knight is the hardest working knight in the deck. They are methodical and driven. They may not be the most creative, but they get the job done. You are being called to be this knight as you rebuild that tower. You don’t have to be the most creative person in the room. You don’t have to be the most inspiring person and come into a planning session with a full list of new ideas. If you focus on getting the job done effectively and consistently, you will be successful. Sit down and write goals. Just like group 1 (which you may have been interested in checking out), create goals that are tangible and attainable. You can also grow by accepting responsibility for anything that might go wrong. The original tower moment may or may not have been consequences of your own actions, but moving forward you need to be aware of your actions so another tower doesn’t fall. Stick to what you know, stick to a routine, and soon you’ll see the tower is standing higher than ever.
