#and breaking the veil

Halloween Dancers

I had an idea, I'll probably write it properly later but for now I'm getting it out of my head. I was reading a post a out Dash being a talkshow host and leading to them outing Amity and this came to mind.

A cousin of a citizen of Amity heard all about all the crazy stuff going down, they keep them updated in their weekly phone calls, but thought they were making it up. Eventually divolves into an argument and they decide to look to prove them wrong. And find the internet oddly sanitised, which makes them look deeper. Eventually they get others involved wondering tf is going on over in Illinois. They manage to break through but mess up, instead boosting the signal so much that the halloween livestreams take over a large chunk of American media. T.v. s, computers, phones, etc all playing the phantom streams, where someone sees phantom just chilling and starts streaming. this time it's Samhain and the place is eerie. Blue tinged fog covers the place, it's dark out, no living person in sight and the camera pointed to the sky. In the sky you see glowing figures dancing to music coming from nowhere. An ageless youth in regal clothes spinning his partner, white hair drifing like he's underwater, his partner dressed like the pharohs of old spinning alongside him. A woman dressed in victorian ballgowns joining their dance. Other etheral beings coming out of the woodwork, spinning in the sky alongside their king. The dead dancing in the starlit sky as the veil becomes thin enough they can all come through with no major issues. And this haunting scene taking over every screen within the signals range. As the hours go by the sun begins to rise and the fog fades. they bow and begin to fade back into the realms, leaving the original three waltzing in the sunrise as the stars fade before leaving themselves and the stream cuts off.

Turns out their cousin wasn't lying, wierd stuff is going on in Amity, and no one, including the JL, knew about it. Someones head was going to rule for the lack of info. This stunk of a coverup.

I just listened to the new episode of Split the Veil and Ghil Dirthalen (member of the community council) clarified a few things that had us a bit confused about the Game Informer article!

As many of us suspected, the Lighthouse is NOT in the Fade, but rather in its own sort of "reality bubble" in the Crossroads.

Solas is apparently trapped in the place that was intended to be the new prison for the gods (as the old one was failing).

The part about Rook's blood being connected to the Fade will be much better explained in the game.

extremely funny to me how solas literally cannot catch a single break. not a SINGLE ONE of his plans has gone off correctly. score 0/3

Sometimes I think "damn I've been listening to these bands for 10+ years"

New Leaf!Au

Danny successfully completed his training to ascend to the throne and is taking a well earned vacation to celebrate. The time for said vacation time is a surprisingly long, long vacation but one he was happy to take one nonetheless! So he decided to travel the multiverse and found one that had heroes!

Surely he could finally kick back, relax and watch them handle things without his help, right? Especially after aiding them in taking down the guy with funny lazer eyes (he tore Darkseid to pieces in front of said heroes for them).

...Right?

After much gaslighting, feigning innocence, and speaking half-truths on his part, Danny is able to convince them that he's an alien that was the last of his kind with very few memories left of who he was. Thankfully, Martian ManHunter's mind reading abilities don't work on ghosts, so it made him sell his pitch all the more easily.

"I cannot sense them anymore...I am alone...Will I die alone too?"

So now the league of heroes with a bleeding heart take him in and give him a place to stay as a reserve member. After being told that his kind age rather slowly and that he's still considered a youngling, Dinah thinks socializing with younger people will do wonders for Phantom.

And for a while, things are going good until a certain Hellblazer comes rushing to the Leauge to inform the Leauge that the Infinite Realms has been ruined by Pariah Dark and freaks out when he sees Phantom wearing the Ring of Rage.

Something only one Ghost Royalty can wield. Pariah Dark was the last known King of the Realms.

However, due to a lack of knowledge from on the Infinite Realms' practices and culture, they can only speculate what the happened before Phantom found himself wandering around the place. This causes everyone to go crazy with several conspiracy theories.

The most popular ones are as follows, not in any specific tank or order:

1) Phantom has the Ring of Rage on his ring finger. Specifically, on his left ring finger.

Which has some speculating that he was the husband/consort/favored concubine to the king and was offered it to become Pariah's beloved. With all of his injuries, it's assumed Dark's enemy's tortured Phantom to the point of memory regression and so the enraged monarch sacked the Realms to either find him or enact revenge.

Phantom did mentioned he probably had children (Dan and Dani) and that his 'kind' don't need to be male and female exclusively to have offspring.

(He used Box Ghost and Lunch Lady as reference.)

2) Constantine with the knowledge of how one becomes king.

It's possible that Phantom took the title of King after challenging Pariah Dark to one on one combat and suffered a serious blow to his head in the fight to usurp the Tyrant, causing his amnesia.

Medical scans revealed a healed scar on the side of his head under his hair, giving some support to the theory. If that's the case, then their friend is a potential warrior king lost in the Land of the Living!

3) Constantine is taken at face value.

Phantom is Pariah Dark. When his subjects made a move to kill him, they failed and somehow banished him to the realm of the living in exile. If Phantom regained these old memories and truly was the old warlord standing before them, the Leauge would have to make contingency plans to eliminate him, as he laid one of the afterlives to near irreparable ruin.

(Batman's infamous paranoia makes things worse to the point where Danny may flee the universe if he were to use a contingency on him...everyone disliked that!)

4) A Victim of unjust Betrayal?

During his talks with Martian ManHunter, Phantom talked about pieces of memories of ungrateful people and how they saw him as a menace, even though he did everything possible to keep them safe. Everything became a blur after his last encounter with his enemies but couldn't recall what happened next. When he came to, the place was in ruin.

(So it's possible he pulled a Lobo, lashed out in his panicked state and damaged the realms under extreme stress after being harmed by the denizens of the Realms before running away to escape.)

5) Regressed through other means?

Constantine knows that some ghosts have an initial form after death, so he believes that there's a chance that Phantom is Pariah Dark just before he used his powers to become the Evil King, his amnesia making him regress back to the moment before he makes a final decision.

• Some Leaguers believe he's a ticking time bomb if he regained his old memories. One that they probably can't stop, as Constantine and the other magic users can sense some serious God-like power emanating from the Phantom and who definitely has legions of undead armies at his command with forgotten knowledge that would make Apokolips look tame in comparison.

• The others who are more compassionate believe that this could be a chance to help nudge Pariah Dark onto a better path to avoid becoming evil again. Better to help walk a just path and not give him a reason to believe the Leauge would harm him.

One things for certain; everyone believes Phantom is at the critical moment on the crossroad again that could very well make or break the safety of the both the Infinite Realms and Multiverse.

So they'll help him go down the path of Justice.

Alenoah, where Noah cares about Alejandro, more than Alejandro's family did:

Noah: I will now torture you.

Alejandro: Kinky!~

Noah: I think you are brilliant and beautiful.

Alejandro: Wait!

Noah: You deserve to be cared for and loved, despite your mistakes.

Alejandro: No!

Noah: Your feelings and needs are valid, and deserve to be heard.

Alejandro: I need a safeword! 😳

Real.

i've seen a lot of talk abt how varric will probably die in da:tv but consider: the barrier between the fade and reality is torn down. what if instead of varric dying, the sacrifice from da:i "here lies the abyss" returns?

All Solas knows how to do is edge 🙄

[bitterkarmaa]

“Just looks like Moon to me.”

Eclipse quirks a brow, his canon counterpart standing idly at his side. Or, canon in way of the show, he supposes.

The Moon look-alike grits their teeth and slams their fist into the barrier once again, white eyes bloodshot with rage. Eclipse crosses his arms and taps his shoe against the floor in a show of disdain.

“Well…he is. Sorta. He’s, like, what was left after the original was wiped, I think? Or something like that?” The other Eclipse adds with a dismissive shrug, seemingly more annoyed over this alternative Moon’s behavior than anything else.

“And you told them you were staying here? Do they know you dragged this rat along?” The more dapper of the two questions, glancing at the other with a slight tilt of his head.

“No. They don’t know where I am, just that I left. They think I went alone.” Canon Eclipse reaches forwards to tap mockingly on the barrier, a sly grin spreading across his faceplate as the night-themed jester growls on the other side.

“Don’t they want him gone, too?”

“Hm. I’m not quite sure. Earth has defiantly thought better of him…but that was before he tried to vaporize her.” A vile edge slips into his tone, disgust clear on his face as the Canon Complacent Eclipse lifts his lip into a vicious snarl. His rays retract, clicking softly to the tune of the clock that sits on the wall behind them.

The Scarred Eclipse casts a one eyed glare in “Moon’s” direction. “After all she’s done for him…how cruel.”

“Exactly.”

Both Eclipses scowl silently at the Moon beyond their magical barrier, pacing around their half of the room with quiet mumbles and fidgeting limbs.

“When DS comes to get me, you’ll BOTH be screwed!” They shout with a cocky grin, but it falls off their face the moment the well-dressed Eclipse begins to stalk forwards.

“Let your ‘friend’ come as they please. I’ll be waiting, and I’ll be ready.” His mouth contorts into a sharp-toothed, maniacal grin that stretches from one half of his face to the other, a challenging glint alighting in the depths of his functional eye. The other flickers, hints of orange pressing past the precipice of blackened, empty glass.

The Alternative Moon takes a step back.

“Dark Sun isn’t coming to get you. You’re on your own here, Moon.” Canon Eclipse slinks forwards, standing just behind his more powerful counterpart.

“I’m not Moon. I’m Nexus.”

The two Eclipses pause for a moment, then one lets out a snort of laughter, the other breaking down not long after.

“Nexus? Nexus? You…you are so edgy!” The scarred Eclipse cackles, earning another fist charging towards his face, only stopped by the barrier. It cracks this time around, forcing both Eclipses to begin calming down.

“You know nothing! You have no idea who or what I am!” Nexus spits out, their rabid demeanor only enhanced by the crazed look that dances in their eyes.

Neither Eclipse is impressed.

“Who the hell is that?”

A new voice, yet still alike to the two already in the room, joins them. The scarred Eclipse turns, smoothing out the front of his vest as if using it as an outlet for his tremulous emotions.

Veil blinks owlishly up at him.

“Nexus, apparently.” His father responds distastefully, turning his head to glare over his shoulder at his uninvited guest.

“He looks like Moon.” Veil responds, then glances over to Canon Eclipse. His expression immediately brightens.

“You’re back!!” The smaller version of the other two grins excitedly, scampering closer to give Canon Eclipse a hug. The eternally exhausted animatronic manages a small smile.

“I’ll be staying for a while, too, little pest. You can show me around in the morning. For now…” He motions over his shoulder at Nexus. “I brought a problem with me.”

Ignoring Nexus’ shout of offense, Veil peers around his look-a-likes, his expression deadpan. He looks the Moon-counterpart up and down a few times before shaking his head.

“Nope. Take it back. We don’t want it.”

His father chuckles. “I’m afraid it isn’t our choice.”

Veil gives him an odd look. “What do you mean?”

“It’s up to them.”

Eclipse looks at you.

“Should Nexus stay?”
