there was nowhere for Viktor to sit so Jayce used those smarts and gently affectionately went to work 💪

Ok but he was so real of becoming evil just because he got bored

Hello, welcome to Incorrect Fab Fifteen, a blog about all things Silver Age Teen Titans! I've come up with the term Fab Fifteen to broadly refer to all of the members (which I'll explain below) as well as a natural expansion of the Fab Five (plus, it's better than just calling them the OG Teen Titans or the 70s Team).

So a special note: despite Beast Boy being a part of the Titans West (as well as appearing in the above photograph), they do not count as part of the Fab Fifteen, mainly because he's already part of the New Teen Titans. Also note that this acc won't be using the New 52 version of Duela Dent (although the Gotham Knights version is fine so feel free to send in any hcs about her)

Also you maybe be asking why Gnarrk's entry is below instead of with everybody else. That's because Gnarrk was never a Titan in the first place. Sure, he appeared as part of the title and was there when the Titans West was formed but he never actually joined the team at all. Gnarrk becoming a Titan became a thing when he was introduced following the New 52.

Uhh, yeah, so that's the Fab Fifteen! Again, don't worry about this technical jargon if you're a newcomer and you just wanna look at the other posts, we're all here to have fun.

[arlathen]

it's funny that andrastianism was right but like a thousand years too early. like no a god and his (once?) mortal beloved didn't inhabit the golden city but. they do now.

[goldentrashbags]

since no one denied my claims that Viktor and Ville Valo look alike, I took upon myself to go a step further and draw him using the cover of Deepest Shadows and Brilliant Highlights as reference and this is my progress so far

im having mixed feelings abt this one, the hair def needs more work and I have yet to decide what i’m gonna do with his clothes, however I think that a lot of love and render will take this one a long way

[burningcheese-merchant]

Ok, I have good news and bad news regarding the BurningCheese time travel AU (that sounds more and more ridiculous every time I say/type it lol)

Good news: Not only have I come up with an official title and written an official plot synopsis, I found someone willing to make cover art for the story!

Bad news: The cover art is going to take several months because the artist is busy with more important things at the moment

It sucks to have to wait that long, but I really adore this artist and their style, so I am ready and willing to do so. I will be using the time in between now and then to iron out the details of the AU. There are a lot of important questions (that other people have actually asked me about/brought to my attention, which I really appreciate!) I need solid answers for for the sake of maintaining functioning logic (the actual time travel especially, time travel is a very tricky concept to work with and I need to make sure it actually makes sense or else the entire narrative is broken)

Gonna go ahead and say this much, since people actually seem interested in the idea:

Will probably be sticking to the Back to the Future approach to time travel rather than the Avengers: Endgame one, it's easier for me to grapple with and I don't like how Endgame handled that shit anyway

Timekeeper will continue to appear even after sending Golden Cheese into the past. She's having too much fun with her new made-up soap opera to stay away like she probably should lol

The other Beasts (or Heralds, in this time) will appear, but I will not explain when, how or why

Slow burn romance. Just because Burning Spice is a hero in this time doesn't mean Golden Cheese automatically gets over her fear and hatred of him. The only BS she's ever known up until this point is the Beast of Destruction; the mass-murdering, obsessed lunatic that was actively trying to hurt her before Timekeeper intervenes. She will warm up to Herald Spice eventually, but it will take time and effort on both of their parts

There is an ending. I've already come up with an ending to the story. It came to me while I was out running errands and I simply cannot get over it. It's bittersweet, but I think it fits. Now I need to write everything else around it because I refuse to let it go lol. (You're really not supposed to do this in writing, but I'm forging ahead with the risk this time. I love the ending too much to throw it away)

You're all more than welcome to reach out and ask stuff about the story, even as it's still a WIP; it's been really nice to see people actually express interest in this concept (and as I'm sure you've noticed, I Like To Ramble lol). I just can't reveal the more important parts, so I encourage you to stick to more basic/general comments, questions and/or concerns.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm and your patience! I'm cooking something really special for you all, I promise!

(I'm sorry if i'm posting to much things about Burning Spice... It's just that i didn't get him and i have to find a way to deal with the pain)

Golden Cheese: Well, GREAT DESTROYER...Do you want to now something? When i first arrive here i said that i can take what i please.

Burning Spice: so what? You will STEAL my Soul Jam? . . . I don't know what i even ask you...OF COURSE YOU WILL!!

Golden Cheese: oh no no no no no, i'm going to STEAL something that's even better.

Burning Spice: Huh? And what is it?

Golden Cheese: YOUR SON :) *runs with Herald of War in her hands** IT'S MY TREASURE NOW!! JAJAJAJAJA!!

Burning Spice: My s-...? . . . HERALD OF WAR COOKIE!!!

HERALD OF WAR: DAD HEEEEEELP!!

[ . . . ]

Nutmeg Tiger: And that's why she can't take my client's son with her your honor!! SHE'S A KIDNAPPER AND THIEF!

Smoked Cheese: OBJECTION YOUR HONOR!! All of this is nothing but a dirty lie!

Golden Cheese: Yeah! She also hates her client's son!

Burning Spice: YOU STILL CAN'T HAVE HIM!!

Mantou: Your life is always like this?

Wild Cayenna: Yeah...I Guess...They can never agree to share costudy...

[murthingsblog]

Oh yeah, Hand of Emotional Supp- I mean Hand of the Inheritor

I find it amazing that he was an angel of three (and a half if we count the commander from PC wotr) deities who definitely needed support: Ragathiel (It's tough to be a good angel if you are half-devil with anger (and daddy) issues), Iomedae (The knight and the beautiful lady, ah! he asked to become her champion, which the new goddess did not have), and now?

Arazni "I despise my followers and do not wish to be worshiped as a goddess because I do not deserve it" the Unyielding

I hope they heal their soul wounds together.

I love Inheribro

And Arazni

And Iomedae

And Ragathiel too

But WHY NOT a Hand of the Unyielding PAIZO. I like Promise of the Unyielding, Just wondering why
