On the Jason as Uncle Ben variant—you’re response, you can’t do this to me! It’s making me more insane! After the Grey Ghost bit in LoF I thought of a crackpot theory of Uncle Ben being Bruce. And I was like no, Peter would recognize him(but the time is shifted and would he recognize that version?; probably, whatever). But his ages could line up(but what about the name change that’s inconsistent; handwave that). And your answer is throwing fuel on that fire I want to suppress

teehee :3 i might maybe have a plan and a reason for that... there are some variants that are not the *exact* same as the other. (Biggie and Benny, for example...) they don't look the exact same and they don't have the same stories, but fundamentally they are the same person. i played around with the multiverse. Even Peter looks different from a lot of Peter Parker variants. Sort of like how the three Peter Parkers in the one Holland movie are Peter, but all look different. I took some liberties to spice the story up (￣y▽,￣)╭

What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

This got long and annoying so its under a cut now

The way in the fight w the museum director insul gets the same big injuries he has given trianon (so far), aand particularly the ones that T thinks back on often as specific sources of fear/humiliation/control (pepper sprayed in the eyes; kicked in the balls; choked with smth small and thin ((wire / car window)))….. im too tired to formulate a proper Thought abt this but the fact this all happens right in front of tjat one painting of dante & virgil in hell + insul and the director are in the exact same pose right as insul is about to die* is obviously so meant to evoke the idea of contrappasso….. at this stage trianon isnt “””strong””” enough (doesnt understand Insul enough and most importantly doesnt fully inhabit himself and his own strengths) to be able to pay back Insul’s violence (as he does later, though not in such a literal way anymore) so tje director will do for now🥰 bc they both need to descend into hell they both need to be subject to physical and psychological violence in order to strip down layers……. so its cool how the director serves that purpose for this phase 1 both in story for insul himself (who eats shit in this fight) and also as a sort of alert for the reader like make no mistake they are BOTH gonna get put thru the ringer. even the top has to wade through cocytus! or smth

I always have to prepare myself for scenes where Zac Efron cries because his eyes are incredibly expressive when he's crying, and it makes me cry. It happens in every movie he's in where he has an emotional scene. He does sad and destroyed so well 😭.

tags: fluff(?); lyney x gender neutral reader; very vague spoilers for the motifs present in lyney’s story quest (no plot points spoiled)

there's a little bit of magic falling in love with lyney. every day he has a new trick to show you—a sprig of baby's breath miraculously tucked into your collar before you head out the door, an elegant watch magicked onto your wrist right before your disbelieving eyes. When you ask him what his secrets are, Lyney just laughs, like a bell in the light spring breeze, and kneels down to kiss your hand. "A magician has to keep some of his secrets, my love! After all, you already know a fair few of them." Oh, what a tease—just as silver tongued and charming as the first time you met. “Aw- please, Lyney, don’t you trust me with your truths?” You half smile and half pout, arranging your features into your best pleading expression, and you can see your great magician giving in. 

"Ah, alright," and he's tapping his chin in mock thought, eyes twinkling, "since you asked so nicely, I suppose I can show you a couple more tricks, as an apology for my insincerity." Lyney winks, his serious act dropping in a flash, and you laugh as he pulls you towards the plush velvet couch. After he’s sure you’re comfortable, Lyney grows serious again, and you know the real show has begun. He pulls chocolates out of prop cards, bouquets from his hat, and, at your request, promises to pluck the stars from the sky to decorate your dreams, as a reminder of his love. His breezy solemnity makes you laugh, but you wouldn’t doubt Lyney’s word. It’s so easy to love him, and almost as easy to believe his magician’s world of dazzling stunts and marvelous tricks. But underneath all his glamorous charm and beyond the brilliant light of his performances, the hand that holds yours is quite warm, quite solid, and quite real. So too is his quiet admiration when you talk excitedly about your passions, and his eagerness to learn about your world. When you're together, there are no facades obscuring his earnest fondness for you—it’s one of the few truths of Lyney’s life. He hasn’t yet told you many things, but you don’t seem to mind as much as he expected. Smart as you are, you’ve already guessed at some of his secrets, yet you still place in him all your faith, all of your affection. Someday, maybe he can also learn to give himself wholly—without reservation. After all, you are one of his unwavering truths, and him? He’s your fantastical, wondrous everyday magic.

( Set after they met at the first time at the back of the Batmobile while being taken to Arkham. )

part 1

Oswald knows Edward could break out of Arkham in a day if he wanted to. It would be easy for him, and his tooth-gap and dimpled smile would be front and center on The Gotham Gazette, but he’s still here, a week later, because Oswald made him. 

Oswald was… smart, resourceful. He can make people do whatever he wants. He’s smart like that, and what he needed to overtake Gotham was this smart guy whose intricate mind can shake the ground. Edward was smart, smart in the way that his brain overpowers him. It’s all over his place, he’s a mess, a tornado, and Oswald knows how to … control him, gather up all these pieces and guide them. No one understood how powerful a tool Edward Nygma is, except him.

It was easy to control Edward. First of all, the man had deep hunger for riddles, for mysteries. Oswald needed him drawn to him, make himself the mystery. Give him little pieces of information just to hook his thoughts. Like a fish, and it worked like a charm, Edward grew obsessed with him.

Then came, love. Oswald knows from his experience how powerful love is, and how weak it can make you. It’s a double edged sword he knew how to use. Edward wasn’t just obsessed with him, he was enamored. A love sick puppy right at his feet. Oswald fed that love, a little crease of the cheek, a lingering gaze, plenty of praise, and some strictness. Edward needed control, it’s another thing he hungered for, and Oswald gave him just that. Ordered him around subtly, praised him plenty. 

It was all perfect, all according to plan, but Edward didn’t fail to surprise him. they’d often stay up late talking and talking. Oswald never had such an intellectual conversation with anyone else, and he enjoyed it. Edward wasn’t bad company. The most surprising thing happened when Oswald offered … ‘physical’ services. He didn’t like them, never did, but he was familiar enough with the idea. It’s alright he’s black out during it and then forget all about it, wash his skin over and over. It was a tool, just like everything else. *

Except, Ed refused, firmly. Oswald understood that his looks aren’t… desirable, but he can be convincing. Yet, Ed was firm. 

“ This is going too fast. I need time.” **

Which…  Oswald didn’t mind that, it was a relief, and they settled to cuddle in bed, helping each other through nightmares and anxiety. 

(next part)

notes:

* -> he doesn’t realize it yet, but he’s asexual. He thought his… sex-repulsion due to it never being meaningful, never being true or born out of love. When he’s in an actual relationship he’d be able to think about that, realize that he still doesn’t like it. Whether it’s because he always associated it with survival or just simple repulsion, he doesn’t know, but doesn’t change the fact that he’s asexual. ** -> Ed is demisexual. He doesn’t feel comfortable performing sex unless he built a strong relationship first. His relationship with Oswald is still new, overwhelming and fresh. He’s got lots to build up.

first of all rye 'hello fellow kids' ingellvar there is nothing in this world or any other I wouldn't do for you. second of all, considering where this story ends... I'm going to die. this conversation -- and how much he genuinely believes what he's saying at this point -- held up against the fact that in a couple of months max he's going to get her killed (well. that's how he feels anyway) and then go against everything she believed in and stood for as a person in the end and have to live forever with knowing that's how he honoured her sacrifice. (and live with how easy it is to live with, the way he doesn't regret what he did at all. she'll haunt him from time to time, that's fine, he's a watcher he's loved many a ghost before and will again. but that won't.) 'no one is beyond help? oh lace I'm so so sorry, wherever you are now please forgive me for who I am, but after what he pulled and by the time I'm done with him on my watcher's oath he will be beyond help. I'll hold every hand in this world that reaches back but his'. and she'll still be gone.

'or none of this matters'. im so fucking sad I feel sick *through tears* this is great I love fiction I love this game (embarrassingly genuine as is my wont)
