OMG HELL YEAH !! We both got us partners that worship the ground we walk on and treat us good ‼️‼️ hell yeah I am so fucking happy for you, you deserve someone who worships you frfr !!

Also that is so exciting!! I am glad you are doing better and working on a michael fic. I can't wait to read it 👹‼️‼️

ALSO WHOOOOO I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU GET TO GO TO A MUSUC FEST!! They are so much fun and it's always so nice to see people that also enjoy the same music as you. I personally live the atmosphere of music festivals!! I hope you have a ton of fun and I am so happy for you 🫶🫶

Ayy sorry I forgot to respond to this before I went to the music festival, which was incredible btw even though my legs feel like they're gonna fall off. I saw Lana Del Rey and I cried through the first four songs I was so touched.

But yes I am so happy for us! I'm also happy to be back home and writing. Back to work on the Michael fic, and I'll be updating my head canons for Michael here shortly. I've gotten to know him just a little better.

Payton being a Hawk x Demetri shipper is actually so funny to me. Her posting this to her story? 😂

Opinions on copycat heroes? As in people that take up abandoned mantles.

I always found facinating how you can take over the name of someone you have never met, but my buddie thinks is kind of morbid, specially when the hero is dead.

I think "copycat heroes" is the wrong nomenclature in this case, unless we're talking about something specific. I'll give you a broader example of the kind that I'm mostly sure you're talking about and then a second example of the more...strict case.

Now, what I THINK you mean when you say "copycat" in this case are heroes who take names that have previously been used by others without having a direct relationship to that hero. Especially if said hero has passed on. Without some kind of acknowledgement from the original hero to pass on their names. Excuse me for a semi-repeated example but I just answered another ask on this heroic legacy so it's on my mind.

(The most famous photograph of the 5th hero to call himself Starman, The Arizona Daily Star)

This Starman is a famous and beloved hero in his hometown of Tucson, Arizona and the surrounding southwest. As far as we are publically aware he has no relation to the Knight family or either of the previous aliens who held the title in the interregnum between Ted Knight's retirement and Jack Knight's temporary assumption of the mantle.

Despite having taken this title for himself, while Ted Knight was very much living, this Starman is remembered as having bravely faced menaces like Bolt and Doctor Polaris, even stepping up to the challenge of the Dominator invasion and eventually giving his life in battle against the villainous Eclipso.

When asked about this very thing, I think Jack Knight put it best in his VERY long final interview. "I didn't know the guy personally but no one I've ever met who did has ever said an unkind word about him. I read some of the things he did, some of the fights he took, even how he went out...Connected with his family pretty deep after I found out about him too. No names you understand, even for the dead but the bottom line is that he was there when people needed him and he died with his colors on. Hell, probably a better Starman than I ever amounted to."

Now the OTHER example is much rarer and shows a facet of this part of the superhero community that I think throws things into a stark enough relief to be understood.

(An image of Nicki Jones as "Jade", taken from her "Infinity Inc" trading card, the image is of her first appearance at the Metropolis Thanksgiving Parade)

Nicki Jones was not the perpetrator of the crime on display here, we can lay the entirety of the blame for thist "Infinity Inc" farce at the feet of Lex Luthor and we all know it, but the example is demonstrative.

The entire effort was an affront to the good name of heroes who, living or dead, had sacrificed and struggled directly in the legacy of their JSA predecessors and names they made their own. Scooped out through a dubious buyout of the Pemberton estate (which is why its now the law that superhero names and images are not under business copyright as characters but as the good names of individuals). Lex Luthor using his money to rub the JSA's noses in it. But this "fake Jade" was a step too far, as the real Jade, Jennie-Lynn Hayden, the daughter of the original Green Lantern had recently perished in a battle during the 2nd Multiversal Crisis. Her brother, Obsidian, famously inflammatory in nature confronted her in front of the public and was only barely restrained from violence by the very curt intervention of his father. The entire enterprise would be very quickly revealed as a shit show from top to bottom and none of the "heroes" within it worth the paper their stickers and endorsements were printed on but that's neither here nor there.

The deciding factor here is intent and respect.

Superheroes do not view themselves, nor do they act as if they are copyrighted beings. There is no officially enforced code of conduct within their community. There is simply a mutual understanding that that community self enforce for the sake of the public trust and their bonds with one another. The Arizona Starman was a hero, by all accounts and in every sense. He wore the name he chose well and acted with all heroic intentions. Had he ever met a member of the Knight clan I'm sure they would have worked it out amicably over coffee and a handshake.

The Infinity Inc "project" trotted out the corpse of a woman who wasn't even a year dead as if she was the newest iPhone to replace. When confronted by the people who loved and respected Jade in life, both their intentions for that name and respect upon it were found wanting.

If you are found to be dragging someone else's name, especially the name of a departed comrade through the mud. The superhero community will not settle the matter in intellectual claims court.

"Adam J says: both of you guys seem to be really positive people - what are some of the most important things that you do to maintain your positivity?"

"or do you disagree?"

JL: right. I haven't- no, well, I don't know what John does, but I'm guessing he does something similar to me - I just, I wrote a note here that just says: "compartmentalise tragedy".

um, so that's (laughing), in other words, when something horrible happens, you just put it in a place. and then you try and, you know - you put a little sign on it that says, "pardon our dust" [host laughter] and you walk around it. um... and that's how, uh, that's how we. you know. John and I are both good at compartmentalising...

Omg hi it has been forever since I have been on this hellsite or spoken to you!! How are you doing?? I hope everything is going good!!

I just feel like you should know since I informed you of the past few people I tried to date, but Orian officially has a partner and they LOVE slashers??? Like he is madly obsessed with Thomas Hewitt and wants to dress up as him for halloween??? For me??? Ugh I hit the jackpot fr.

Plus they are so kind and they are just an overall nerd. So glad the past two people I was trying to date did not work out because this one is THE ONE !! He makes me so genuinely happy and I'm so excited and happy and ahhh!! Just figured I would update you fr.

I love you homie and hope all things are going awesome!! Have you had anything new or exciting happen??

Omg hi baby, I’m so glad to hear from you and see you in my inbox! I’m doing a lot better than the last time we talked. I have a fucking incredible man who worships the ground I walk on and we’re really happy, and building a life together. My mental health is improving and I’m thinking about going back to healthcare. Thanks for asking!

Omg Orion has a partner I’m so excited for you babes! I’m so glad to hear you’re happy and with someone so compatible with similar interests. That’s awesome! You did hit the jackpot it sounds like…I need to suggest my man dressing up as Michael haha he won’t know what fucking hit him. So so so glad you’re happy! Sending you lots of love and light!

As for new and exciting, I’m working on a Michael fic and I’m world building for a fantasy world that I plan to write a series of books in. I’m going to my first music festival and I get to see Lana Del Rey and I’m gonna cry cry cry tears of joy. Best bday gift ever!

What power does the MC & ROs have?

MC: Nullification. They nullify/“erase” the ability of anybody they touch.

Mav: Power Mimicry. Basically the opposite of the MC! He can “absorb” the powers of anybody he touches. He has “absorbed” around 25 abilities by the beginning of the game.

Carmen: Adaptation. Her body naturally adapts to any environment! Think Darwin from Marvel.

Silas: Density Control. It’s pretty self explanatory. He can manipulate the density of anything he touches.

Payton: Mental Control. Stuff like empathy, telepathy, persuasion, etc.

Juno: Healing. She can heal/fix practically any injury as long as the person isn’t dead.

Amari: Technopathy! Basically electricity/technology control. Kinda like Katai from BSD.

will payton 🥺

I’ve actually never drawn him before, but I hope you like my doodle :)

[vorekody]

(Loveandvore here~)

I would love to know more about your river guys >.> we know how Alon and Payton met but how did Alon meet the anaconda nags? Do the naga and capybara also know each other, and if so how do they meet? Does Alon ever get vored by the naga <.<

(Apologies if you’ve already answered some of these and I missed them ^^’)

Hiya! I'm glad you're so interested in my doofuses! >:)!

Alon has pretty much been inhabiting their end of the river with the nags their whole life- they never really formally interact, instead their relationships are purely territorial (on Alon's end) or predatory (- the nags)

Canonically - Alon has never been eaten, because I imagine if they were it would be perma fatal, there isn't a whole lot of reformation in this story (but if you want to imagine AU scenarios where they do get nommed feel free!)

The capybara siblings only properly encountered a naga once- when Mara ate Elio, since then Payton has only ever caught glimpses of other nags (and would like to keep it that way lol)

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

RIVER! For you I will go with....Payton!

While she’s glad she isn’t high up in the line of succession, she also feels like she doesn’t have a real role in the firm and that she’s not as important as her brother.

Her favorite color is sky blue

She had the option to receive private tutoring in order to focus on her gymnastics but declined because she didn’t want to miss the opportunity to go to school.

She’s a daddy’s girl through and through, which made his time away from the family extra hard for her.

As a child she loved playing dress up with all of her mom’s gowns. Now that she’s older, Eleanor let Payton get her favorites tailored so she can wear them.
