it answers questions…

a bunch of assorted episode 7 stuff from the last couple of days! because they're still taking over my entire brain! (I keep forgetting that the diasomnia uniform has that weird spike...chain...thing on the back. do you think when they get bored they, like, throw balloons at each other and whoever pops one first wins? is this what the dialounge is like in the off-hours?)

hey when do we get to see maskless red Lilia. please Twst I'm dying over here

[ghostinthetumbchine]

also, we need to talk about that adar-got-promised-and-given-children-by-sauron to seduce him... 👀

i wish harriet got more screen time tbh i feel like they suggest a lot of really interesting things about her but her presence in the game is very weak compared to the other visionaries even frank who shares the morning with her yk.

Thinking about Omega and Sonic again.

I'M PROGRAMMED TO HATE YOU. I HAVE YOUR MOVESET DOWNLOADED INTO MY BRAIN. THE ONLY REASON MY PROCESSOR IS ADVANCED ENOUGH TO GRANT ME SENTIENCE IS SO THAT I COULD THINK FAST ENOUGH TO KILL YOU.

BUT I DON'T HATE YOU.

. . . ONLY OUT OF SPITE.

---

Woah, you were designed to kill me! Your head swivels to follow me whenever I'm in the room no matter what else you should be looking at. You move the same way all the rest of them do. You raise your arm and for a moment I think you're firing a missile. . . you're actually trying to give me a high five.

That's okay though- I mean, you always seem to know my next move before I make it, so I'll just have to learn yours. Don't worry about it. I'm good. We're good.

honestly it’s pretty insane that they introduced madelyn stillwell’s son in season 3 episode 2 AND the kid has powers and they just never mentioned it again

And I should like to call on Miss Cowper a moment if that is allowed

......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.

There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.

You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.

I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!

Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.

Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.

By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.

It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.

It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.

CHAOS?

maybe 5 chapters of tnb left to be written? so i'm ruminating on stuff i want to change/expand on in the redraft. i wrote a bit of the new prologue already but i'm thinking of continuing the rewrite a few months after i complete the 1st draft. it's the only thing i've been thinking about lately and i gotta let it simmer for the flavors to be infused lol

but a major revision i want to do is showing more of dimitri & faris exploring being gay/bi in their own way, with one closeted and the other exploring the gay culture in thessalonikki with joy. faris' entire backstory is basically being gay & lonely so there is more of that compared to dimitri, but it's just sprinkles so far.

also every time i did research, i just found a lot of hate for the city, because "it's more homophobic than athens", rather than anything helpful? but i was just reading about the 90s gay club ahududu and it's like, there is an entire life there. despite everything, people still built a life there. and i think that needs to be celebrated, maybe for the very fact life exists in spite of all the forces working against it.

character concept: guy who is cursed to be immortal but, like, in the same way the cast of the simpsons are. you are 30 years old. you were born 30 years ago. you have always been born 30 years ago. as time marches forwards your memories shift to match the generation you are now part of. you used to be old enough to remember world war ii but now you are not. you may have had friends in the 80s but now you dont. does this make sense.

Absolutely insane that she said this while doing Chase on the reg

"Do you miss the time when you used to do no harm?"

Old habits.

Merc behaviour is based on a nice little comment @up-in-flames-writing left on one of my comics :)

Rambling and more silly drawings below.

Loosely based on the Solemn Vow's public blurb:

Art lovers will cherish the bust of Hippocrates, commemorating a time when the Medic still thought doing no harm was a good idea.

I am absolutely convinced that Medic carries dextrose drops with him. German pharmacies throw these after you when you buy anything at all. I went to check if this one specific brand I know of had been around since the 60s and 70s and yes, it was.

Small acts of kindness I can see Medic doing is giving everyone one of these if they are tired. I'm talking about Engineer mostly.

Or they snack on them when solving practical problems together, like during the teleporter bread tumor incident.
