Beast Boy: I'm making a Biopic about my life, You wanna play Mento, Dick?

Nightwing: I don't want to be your father.

Beast Boy: Oh good, you already know your lines.

That time of year again

No lore updates, just playing with some rendering and coloring stuff. Mento being a fucking menace, Dorothy with Candlemaker (around the time she's also running Doom Force), Kate being perfect, Cliff repping Mucuous Membrane, and Rebis with Baby Keeg. I think TTGo just dropped another batch of Gar/Doom Patrol episodes, so Keeg is kinda based on the show's version of Negative Girl

could you analyze a Prince of Mind with a potential planet? thanks

The Prince of Mind [symbols: crown, neuron]

The Prince class has its basis in Machiavelli's The Prince. An example would be Prince Hamlet from the Shakespeare play.

The Mind aspect’s main theme is intuition. You can find its official description here.

A Prince of Mind is among those who alter the individual’s impact. This is the “classpect group” they belong to. Members include: the Sylph, Maid, Bard, and Prince of Heart/Mind. These classes are all opposites or inverses of each other that alter the Heart/Mind dichotomy (the individual’s impact). A description of classpect groupings can be found here.

The Prince of Mind actively destroys the Mind aspect. Active classes tell themselves what to do and do so for their own benefit. They are more likely to stand up for themselves, but more likely to be cruel. Princes and Bards destroy their aspect and everything it symbolizes, while using that same aspect as a weapon. In doing so, they leave their opposite aspect in their wake. Due to their actions, they come across as their opposite aspect. Simplified, the Prince of Mind is motivated by themselves to destroy intuition. In personality, they come across as the Heart aspect, seemingly defined by instinct.

On the subject of personality, the Prince of Mind wants to have control over things and enjoys challenges. Personality descriptions can be found here.

Their archetype is the Promised Genius, defined by control and intuition. Archetypes are explained here.

Their opposite is the Bard of Heart, who passively destroys instinct.

Their inverse is the Sylph of Heart, who passively assists instinct.

A classpect or “god tier” is an individual’s best self. All classpects go through a journey from unrealized, to struggle, to realized. When a character is unrealized, they neutrally exist as their inverse. On their struggle, they will wildly flip back and forth between their inverse and true classpect. In their worst moments they will act as their inverse, in their best their true classpect. When realized, they will stabilize as their true classpect. They will still have room to grow, but will become happier, more successful people.

This means that the Prince of Mind begins life motivated by others to assist instinct. When their struggle arrives and they are at their worst, they will continue this behavior in negative extremes. However, when at their best, they will find purpose in instead destroying intuition for themselves. When realized, they will stabilize and continue to destroy the Mind aspect actively, in a positive way.

They share their archetype with the Mage of Blood, the Genius Promised.

The Prince of Mind would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Heart [Opposite Aspect] and Mind [Aspect]. An example would be the Land of Clones and Chess. An explanation of planet naming conventions can be found here.

Two possible gods, or denizens, to reign over their planet would be Athena (Goddess of Justice) or the Sphinx (the legendary creature who posed riddles to travelers). Other Mind aspect denizens can be found here.

When the Prince of Mind completes their planet quests and dies on their quest bed, they would rise to ascension on the wings of dragonflies (symbols of mental maturity). A list of soul animals can be found here.

The characters that I have currently classpected as Princes of Mind are: Steve Dayton from Doom Patrol, Vislor Turlough from Doctor Who, Noiz from DRAMAtical Murder, Riddler from Batman, Imshael from Dragon Age, Napoleon Bonaparte from Night at the Museum, Dr. Bubby from HLVRAI, and Windom Earle from Twin Peaks.

I understand that we all hate Steve Dayton, and understandably so, he’s just the worst, but I’ve thought about how I’d write him, and lemme tell you, I’d write him to be the most self hating person living in Niles Caulder’s house because of his house, and I’d want his arc to be redemption, not in the eyes of people like Rita, Gar, Cliff, or anyone else in the house, but for himself.

I understand that he’s normally supposed to be the worst, but I honestly want to see a version who isn’t the worst, who loves Rita for her, who seeks to be a good parent to Gar before he joins the Titans, and a version who wants to be better for Rita, and in turn, others like Cliff, Larry, Gar, Jane, and Dorothy.

Idk, just a thought I had, wish we could have a version of Steve Dayton that was a decent person.

read mento's first introduction and two thoughts

a) If this was a modern day comic, you know mento would be a PUA. He'd follow advice forums on how to get chicks. I guess he doesn't have the heart to neg Rita directly and just insults all her friends. "they're freaks but you don't have to be". OK loser.

b) there is no shortage of things about Gar's NTT personality that Mento being his step-dad can't explain.

I just think about them a very normal amount

[the-antiapocalyptic-man]

Steve Dayton and Rita Farr, pictured at the last of Rita’s film premieres that the then-couple would attend together.

A Todd Haynes picture featuring music by Mucous Membrane, Scare Tactics, and Nine Inch Nails charting the rise and fall of infamous magician Nick Necro, Rita won several awards after successfully lobbing Haynes to be cross-cast in the lead role.

Dayton was publicly supportive of Rita both taking the role as well as using her shapeshifting to embrace a more androgynous public persona, but in private seemed bothered by his “perfect” wife appearing “too masculine” in public. While this runs counter to some accounts of the couple’s love life and Dayton’s coming out later in life, the former is too lurid to recount here and the later came on the heels of Dayton’s other outing as criminal mastermind behind the Hybrid as well as his role in telepathically grooming young metahumans for use as weapons in the Caulder Institute’s Harvest Scandal.

Coupled with Dayton’s accusation of Rita’s infidelity against him involving fellow superhuman Plastic Man which turned out to be true the couple had a [do I have to read this part? It’s unprofessional (...) well I just wish we had another way to say it and still get the (...) ok, christ, you can read the next one, you’re the only one who cares if we get a thousand year old tabloid piece factually accurate, Irma. I still don’t get why we can’t just say Batman was...] full-on superpowered brawl in downtown Los Angeles. They separated that night and divorced soon after.
