#Weapon Contest

[glitter-stained]

More of trans allegory Jason and the goons VS the batfam:

Transmasc older goon, trying to connect: Hey out of curiosity boss, when did your egg crack?

Jason, thinking this is a bird pun about how he became Robin: Uh, 12 I guess...

****

Penguin henchman: Wow, you really are okay calling yourselves goons? Isn't that like a little demeaning?

Red Hood Goon: Inclusivity my guy -Henchperson is a mouthful, and that way, we don't have to assume.

Penguin Henchman: Oh my god that's so thoughtful!

*they resume shooting at eachother.*

*****

Batman You're not okay Hood, you need a professional. Please, we can help you!

Jason: There's nothing wrong with me, I won't let you throw me into Arkham!

Goon of the week: Yeah Batfreak, the boss doesn't need help, there's nothing wrong with him! How would you like it if we tried to convert you out of being a furry, huh?!!

Batman: reconsiders life choices.

****

Angry goon: *beats the shit out of Nightwing with a trans pride flag*

Dick, a bisexual cis metrosexual: I'm not sure what is happening but this feels offensive.

****

Batman: Please, I know there's a lot of bad blood, but you're still my child...

Jason: Really? Because I clearly remember you saying you weren't my father and didn't have to deal with my "teenage angst"!

The Goons: You said what?!

Oracle : You said what?!

Dick, standing up and picking up the pride flag: You said what.

Agent 1: "Careful Agent 3, there's a Fuzzy Octoling on the rocket up ahead!"

Frye: "This one looks a little different than the others."

Big Man: "Ay... Ay! (They're dressed like a Grizzco employee... A Fuzzy Grizzco employee!)"

Agent 2: "Wait a minute, that's not an octoling. That's...!"

Agent 2: "...Agent 4!"

Agent 1: "Is this where they've been the last few months!"

Mr. Grizz: "Always keep your best assets close. That's one of the basic rules of business."

Agent 2: "Agent 3, make sure to bring Four back to Earth with you, whatever it takes!"

Agent 2: "Oh, and the Captain said the same thing."

@agent-4-art-contests

-

Agent 4 as a hypothetical boss for Alterna. It was always odd to me that we never had a fight against Grizzco employees, or enemies with Grizzco weapons, despite Alterna being the story mode featuring Mr. Grizz.

(Bonus)

Shiver: "Psst... any idea how they're breathing in space?"

Big Man: "Ay? (Maybe their headphones make a helmet force field like the ones I gave Agent 3?)"

Frye: "Still doesn’t explain Mr. Grizz and the octarians..."

BITCHES FROM ALDERAAN AND CHANDRILLA WHO HAVE BEEN ON THIS PLANET FOR A VERY LONG TIME ARE BEING MANIPULATED BY OTHERS IN MANY WAYS INCLUDING THROUGH INFORMATION MANIPULATION SUCH AS PROVIDING INCORRECT DATA, WHICH IS EASIER BECAUSE BITCHES LIKE THEM DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO DEVICES ON THIS PLANET. CRIMINALS WANT TO KEEP THE BITCHES FROM ALDERAAN AND CHANDRILLA HERE TO USE THEM AND WE WANT THEM TO LEAVE THIS PLANET IMMEDIATELY.

A civil rights law that guarantees all the rights therein to every person, except anybody who advocates repealing those rights—so if you publicly think free speech shouldn’t be a thing, you personally are not protected by free speech rules—would be amusing. If anything, it might help clarify why these rights are an instruments good.

GUYS MY SAGE WEAPON WON THE FFXIV WEAPON DESIGN CONTEST 

I’m so excited. This is very exciting. To celebrate I’ll share the Reaper weapon I designed to match. It didnt win, but you guys get to see it anyway!

[good-to-drive]

When I was in high school I was president of history club but literally all we did was argue about which historical figure would win in a fight so to this day I have little meaningful knowledge of history but I do have an uncomfortably detailed theory on why Lincoln could kick Eisenhower's ass

[antifainternational]

Two weeks left to enter our giveaway contest for one of ten copies of WE GO WHERE THEY GO: THE STORY OF ANTI-RACIST ACTION. This vital book reveals, for the first time, the untold story of how youth in North America in the 1980s built the largest militant anti-racist network of its time, driving neo-nazi gangs out of cities, winning a war of attrition against the KKK, and taking on the religious zealots in the anti-choice movement. It's an incredibly inspiring history packed with lessons for all of us in 2023. It's also one of the best books on anti-fascism we've read (and we've read them all!). Anyone who donates at least $25 to the International Anti-Fascist Defence Fund this month or signs up to become a monthly contributor to the Defence Fund will be entered to win. We'll be contacting the winners on July 1st.

[weneedatdcharacterwho]

There's was an idea of a contestant who befriends all of the interns already, but I have another execution

We need a td character who somehow becomes friends with one of the interns. They start spend a lot of time together outside of challenges (possibly because they share some interests and maybe struggles with communication with others) and grow closer (it may work either platonic or romantic, I enjoy both variants but gotta admit that the idea of the romance between a contestant and an intern sounds more interesting to me). The contestant doesn't have any strong connections with any other contestants (they just being the friendly yet lonely one) because of it but they manages to go far because they just do a great job during challenges and often win immunity for their team or themself after the merge, so everyone just thinks they are a good player. But the truth is that the intern was secretly helping the contestant all this time without contestant's awarness of it

Bonus points if the contestant suddenly being eliminated by Chris because of "cheating" without specific explanation so everyone thinks that the contestant was playing dirty all along. And only the intern knows the truth and feels super guilty about it but too afraid to tell this to the contestant because they think it may ruin their relationships

Bonus bonus points if the contestant finds out about this whole thing and it causes a conflict between them and the intern and they go through the arc where they learn to trust each other again (and maybe trying to become more separated and find another friends they may rely on)

(btw, sorry if I send too many suggestions, I just have a lot of thoughts)

The S Word

(it's sword) Gonna be honest, I don't have much of a preamble for this week. The universe is conspiring to exhaust me, so instead of running anything festive I've just decided to give you a riddle to solve.

Design a Weapon of Immense Power

"But florence" you cry, "none of those words appear in the Comp Rules" and, yeah! Your assignment this week is entirely flavor based. Don't worry too much about whether or not something is Sufficiently A Weapon or what have you, as long as you're trying, my insatiable thirst for Magic Cards shall be slaked.

Have fun!

[the-evil-pizza]

I've been getting the sage weapons and like, they are good but... They don't go with my pixie glam AND they are not fairy wings good

[slingbees]

My entry for the 2023 hairstyle contest. It didn't make it in, but there's like 3 other buns in the winning pool so I'm happy anyway! Congrats to all the winners, I'm very excited to see these hairs implemented into the game.

[itsrex]

I didn't win the sage/reaper weapon contest, and that's ok! I had a ton of fun making this design. Pls SE, reconsider giving us some wobbly little wind-up gaelicats that shoot lasers

AU Thursday: Smiler's Otherland -- Not-Incorrect Quotes Collection!

Because you know me and these by now XD

--

Alice: [taking Victor and Smiler on a tour of the Vale of Tears] All right, next we're heading to the Duchess's house -- not particularly because I want you two to meet her, but because the path provides some perfect opportunities for you to practice your jumping and --

Insidious Ruin: [bubbles up out of the ground in front of them, squealing and screeching]

Alice: Oh damn it. [pulls her Vorpal Blade, motioning for Victor and Smiler to hang back] You two get behind me, I'll --

Smiler: Hang on, let me try mine! [pulls out the Inoculator and hits the Ruin with a stream of bright yellow liquid]

Ruin: [stops in its tracks, blinking and dripping yellow] ...

Ruin: [lurches forward again and, with a happy noise, grabs Alice around the legs in a hug]

Alice: [jerking backward] What the --

Smiler: [grinning] Aww, it loves you!

Alice: [desperately stabbing it in the head] I DON'T WANT IT TO LOVE ME

--

Alice: [looking around Smile Street and seeing a familiar swirly-eyed grin everywhere -- painted on houses, trimmed into bushes, on people's clothing] ...

Alice: [looks up and spots the same smile on the freaking sun itself]

Alice: [taps Smiler on the shoulder and jerks her head toward it] Really?

Smiler: [gives her a look] You're giving me that when you have all those statues of yourself scattered around the Vale of Tears?

Victor: [raising a hand] If we're having a narcissism contest, my Otherland is almost entirely populated by copies of myself.

Alice: [pause] ...that is pretty bad.

Smiler: Yeah, I think you have to win that contest.

Victor: Hey!

--

Alice: [climbing aboard the SS Gryphon] Mock Turtle? Are you here?

Mock: [popping out of the captain's cabin with a giant grin] Hi Alice! Great to see you! Isn't it such a spectacular day?

Alice:

Alice: [peering around them suspiciously] Smiler? Did you use the Inoculator on Mock?!

Smiler: [calling from the cabin] He asked me to!

--

Victor: [standing with Smiler and Alice in front of Mr. Explorer's treehouse in the Butterfly Jungle] And this is Smiler! Which you might already know, but we wanted to introduce you properly.

Smiler: [beaming] Great to meet you!

Mr. Explorer: [looks Smiler up and down, focusing on the yellow-and-black-spiral-pattern waistcoat under their jacket] Oooooh! You're the reason for them!

Smiler: ?

Alice: Beg pardon?

Mr. Explorer: Just a moment! [hurries away into the undergrowth, and returns with a butterfly -- sporting yellow-and-black spiral-patterned wings] They showed up a little while ago! They're really sweet, and all the other butterflies really seem to like watching them flap around.

Alice: [lightly nudging Victor] Gee, I wonder why.

Victor: [nudging her back, whispering while slightly pink] Let's not corrupt my inner child.

--

Alice: [standing beside one of the swirly portals from the first game, now set into a rock in the new and improved Vale of Tears] And so these allow me to travel between various locations nearly instantaneously, instead of having to rely on the rail line.

Smiler: [grinning at the portal] Oh, that is neat! And they look so cool too -- don't you think so, Victor?

Victor: [staring at the portal, doesn't reply]

Smiler: ...Victor?

Alice: Victor! [snaps her fingers in front of his nose]

Victor: [starts, blinks rapidly, blushes despite himself] Oh, uh, ah, t-they're -- they're very -- n-nice.

Smiler: [slowly growing predatory smile] Oh, are they now...

Alice: [also grinning] Perhaps we could use one to find a slightly more private spot for you to stare?

Victor: [going even deeper pink] Shut up.

--

[the trio are watching two Inoculated Menacing Ruin throw fireballs at a very confused Colossal Ruin in the Dollhouse]

Alice: [to Smiler, as the Colossal Ruin tries to run away, only for one of the Menacing Ruins to slam into its side] I've changed my mind, your weapons are great.
