Tucker gets Recognized

So! This is using the Egyptian version of Hawkman and Hawkgirls past, cause that's the only way this works

The basic idea is Hawkman and Hawkgirl used to live in Egypt in high positions of Power. Hawkman used to be the Prince, and Hawkgirl used to be the High Priestess. They died one day and became cursed to forever reincarnate.

Ok, onto the prompt.

So, Hawkman is one day flying over the Midwest USA while lost in thought. He gets hungry and decides to set down in a small-ish town called Amity Park.

He goes to a nearby Burger Restaurant, and while he is waiting for his food he sees someone else pick up their food and walk out the door.

And one thought passes through his mind.

"Is that my fvcking Dad?!"

Yeah, Duulaman was Hawkman's Dad in his first life. He just never knew that his Dad was also a Reincarnator (he had the power before even his son, he just never told him).

Tucker, who has Duulamans powers but not his memories (by choice), has no idea why this Guy with Wings keeps following him around.

Wait, did that guy just call him Duulaman?! Oh Hell No!

#Dpxdc #Dp x dc #Dcxdp #Dc x dp #Danny Phantom #Dc #Dcu #Hawkman #Tucker Foley #Duulaman #Tucker is a Reincarnation #Duulaman was Hawkmans Dad #Idk if I got the backstory entirely right #I mostly based it off the CW version cause that's the one I remembered #Hawkman did not know his Dad was also Reincarnating #(Duulaman has been Reincarnation longer than his son by a large margin)#(Duulaman was just one of Ra's many lives)

Imagine looking at a character whose entire premise is that in every stage of his life, he's made every version of himself into someone that inspires people to such a degree that EVERY SINGLE VERSION OF HIM has people wanting to literally follow in his footsteps in some way or another.....

And coming to the conclusion that like.....the most important things about him are the sum of all his trappings. His entirely homemade developed from scratch could not exist if not for what he already was and brought with him BEFORE crafting this newest version of himself trappings, with his greatest trait throughout all of it being his adaptability; his ability and willingness to roll with the punches and not try to simply weather any opposition or changes to his life but instead reshape himself as needed to better fit INTO whatever new shape his life and the world around him takes. All while managing to carry the most innate, fundamental and necessary aspects of himself from one version to the next. Thus every single version of himself is different but simultaneously every single version of himself is also undeniably the same person.

The strength of this character, to me, will always be that he can be so many versions of himself, he can become so many things, all without ever actually losing or discarding any of the aspects of himself he considers most essential, the things he's not willing to lose or give up just to keep going. Finding that road not taken by most, usually because most never even think to look for it as an option. But one that he's always able to find because the one trick he's mastered in his tumultuous life is threading that needle of not just digging in his heels in an unproductive way but rather being selective about when and where he makes a stand and decides "this is not a thing I'm willing to compromise about" but here are places and ways I can and will change and evolve and adapt in order to make it possible for me to hold onto these parts and keep them as they are.

And that's why its always so mind-boggling to me that so many writers can't seem to think of anything else to do with Dick Grayson other than invent some new reason for him to just....not be that person, or to like just take the character whose most basic fundamental trait he's NOT about to compromise on is willingly giving up his spot in the driver's seat of his own life.....and make him just a passenger in his own life and stories.

Dick Grayson at age nine....at age nineteen...at age twenty nine....the one core thread running through all versions of him is the only way he's standing back and letting you call the shots for him or putting him on the sidelines in some way is over his dead body.

HOW he goes about that, what that looks like, who he becomes and what aspects of himself he plays up at some times and what traits he lets fall by the wayside at other times when they offer less in service to his primary goal here....that changes constantly. He changes constantly.

But those changes are almost always (or at least they used to be/should be IN MY OPINION) made with the intention of keeping certain things about him or his life as consistent as possible.

That's the duality of Dick Grayson that I'm here for. The inherent contradiction of him that COULD allow for endless conflict and breaking new narrative ground in all sorts of ways if mined properly:

His eternal willingness to compromise....but only ever in pursuit of doubling down on the ways he's not willing to compromise.

Forever walking that tightrope in ways that only a kid born and raised in a circus could ever hope to.

So I just read up on the FAQ since I got all caught up after being addicted to your comic for two weeks and I have to ask -

If Steven's gem is the size of his entire skull as a teenager, how did it fit inside his head as a baby? Did the gem start small and then grow with him?

#achievement unlocked: new reaction for this specific ask #chekhov answers #we do not talk about baby steven #ok ok ok but jokes aside #you do see him as a baby in Earls backstory #and the gem very much sticks out the other side of his head #granted he is ...... disproportionately large for a newborn

I’ve been deconstructing my ideas of Tim to separate fanon from canon for the purpose of my solo run idea. What do you mean Batman calling him Jason was a canon event. I understand fanon has a basis in canon but I thought that was a development of fanon maybe. Eye is twitching I’m bringing back all of my deconstructed emotional disconnected mentor Batman thoughts

#aimeespeaks #tim drake #red robin #I have said that in my backstory rewrite he’s just a sever latchkey kid case and there is no criminal neglect as in fanon #but I’ve also said Janet will be really a complicated character (it’s what she deserves)#and although I’ve not really talked about Jack he remains as he was for a lot of time original Robin run #extremely emotionally disconnected #like he’s not abused or neglected but going back to one of the three core aspects of my run #which is 1. why is he a vigilante 2. who is he and 3. the mental illness he has #and like it connects to all of it #his childhood is such a heavy focus cause it shapes he’s need to be not only useful but also emotionally dependable #and how those two needs play into why he is who he is #(I will get back to this but it largely comes back (to me this is lore I’m creating and one day will make canon if I can) (Janet deserves #to be a real character)#and like. unfortunately this really helps actually cause it bridges the gaps between his childhood and present with a blaring sign that #is his Robin years #I will largely skip over them and I don’t ever plan to address it #but my iteration of Tim does not see Batman as a father #he doesn’t want a dad who’s not his dad #his parents died when he was old enough that adoption wouldn’t ever really be considered the option emotionally #so he’s not like dick (who btw although he has a parental relationship with b never is adopted and that’s a seperate can of worms)#and he loved his parents who although emotionally u healthy genuinely loved and cared for him #(not like Jason. also he comes after Jason the only son Batman like set out to father (b4 bio Damian) (and don’t even get me started on #cass)#that’s not his dad that is one man in a line of emotionally unavailable mentors #(I have also not gotten into how entrenched in academia Tim was growing up with Janet (it’s never really implied he spent lots of time #around his parents buisness so. I’ll get into this later)#like a Batman who is canonically and unfortunately deeply emotionally unavailable and who is overall very unintreseted in a new Robin is.#so perfect for a child who had to develop extreme levels of emotional intelligence and independence young (aided by being a genius)#as a way to understand his mothers love

Today I am once again and eternally haunted by the connections my brain makes between:

“Over all the millennia, only you have ever loved me, Thor. Only you have ever looked at me with affection in place of condescension. Why, then, am I killing you, and not the others? Because you stopped.” ~Loki #4, Robert Rodi

And

"Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. But why? Why on God's Earth is HE still alive? Ignoring what he's done in the past. Blindly, stupidly, disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled, the thousands who have suffered, the friends he's crippled. You know, I thought… I thought I'd be the last person you'd ever let him hurt. If it had been you he beat to a bloody pulp, if he had taken you from this world, I would've done nothing but search the planet for this pathetic pile of evil death-worshiping garbage and sent him off to Hell. … I'm not talking about killing Penguin, or Scarecrow, or Dent. I'm talking about him. Just him. And doing it because… because he took me away from you." ~Batman#650/UtH#13 Judd Winnick

.

#Marvel #DC #Loki #Jason Todd #Its about the bitter cynicism of lashing out against the people who loved you bcs of them failing to live up to your expectations #The codependency of the isolation and clinging to the person near you bcs they're the closest you have to the nurturing sun #do NOT argue with me about the “friends” & relationships that were RETCONNED into Jason's backstory #Mashing Meta Bones with Axel #He had civilian classmates he was alienated from by just being seen as weird/his background probs #a “girlfriend” for like .2 seconds who he still had to keep a large part of his life from #& a pen pal he met once #Dick was maybe there once in a blue moon #And Alfred is hardly the guy you go for for emotional support #Bruce used to be a lot better back in the day but y'know. it's Bruce. And that's what Jason had.#Both of these speeches permanently altered my brain chemistry.#I can quote them on a whim at any given moment

stop being so goddamn cute /s

#Finally watched the second movie. The filmmakers did a really excellent job again.#I've hammered out and deleted several walls of text here and I'm going to try (and fail apparently) to be actually brief this time #the films really do the characters justice #and they benefit SO MUCH from allowing themselves to be an AU like the cartoons like the comics like the original games and like Sonic Boom #I love how they aged down Sonic so as to actually play out his backstory onscreen - he is very believably like 10 or 12 #and the obligatory kid stuff in the film - the memes and references- largely came out of the characters believably being That Age #(and Robotnik being immature. I really like how they went the way of the cartoons/games split and made film!Robotnik his own thing #he's not having to live up to literal cartoons so he can kind of be his own brand of malicious and that was absolutely the right move)#The human characters have a tangible role in the story on multiple levels #and I think the family situation helps to differentiate this continuity from the others #Sonic Tails and Knuckles' relationships feel organic as they develop in the condensed runtime of the movie #The beats from the games and the cartoons and comics are either plot-relevant or worked in to where they don't seem out of place #also. SHADOWSHADOWSHADOWSHADOWSHADOW okay Sonic is such a delight in the films (and in general)#But Shadow is MY BOY okay? I'm probably going to see 3 pretty soon #depending on where it is between the normal theater and the late discount theater by now #Sonic #Sonic the Hedgehog #Miles Tails Prower #Sonic (Film)

how do u feel abt the fish from noctilucent

i do not, since nocti barred off the only gate between our tanks, and i am left to only see him. never know him

#feesh answer #*points to the culprit. either nocti or yve himself* homophobic!!! wait no. racism!!!!!!!(?)#look. the point is they did not allow fish on fish mingling #and he has never graced my account with his mysterious presence #i only knew bits of backstory from his recent event story #which. tbh. i felt less motivated to pull for him because he had legs in that outfit. What's the fun in that?!?!#i've heard about the atypical-in-BL genitalia situation #but i cannot confirm anything. i can only sit here with the dudes i DO have in my account #all equipped with standard if not abnormally large (genre-expected) human lookin dicks #chews mindlessly on a knob of ginger #sorrow.#noctilucent: before dawn

I'm probably overthinking Qimir's backstory because this far in I want it to be somewhat shocking/worth the wait, BUT... I believe the "tragedy" of it should come from simplicity

#because tbh the specifics dont *really* matter #what matters is that he's making the active choice to tell osha #in many ways that concludes a large chunk of his arc #he's all in with her #and being secondary to her #it's osha's own choices that are driving the plot #but i do just realllyyyy love the idea of fulling immersing in his backstory #to have the “shock” also come from when you're pulled out of it #that's just what makes it hard because it's essentially a story within itself lol #like new setting characters conflict and everything #director's commentary ✨️#flythepost

alright, since the Remedy brainworms got me I've been replaying Control, got to the AWE expansion last night and picking up on all the echoes/foreshadowing for Alan Wake 2 is making me go utterly bonkers, but like. has anyone picked up on or talked about how in all of Alan's Hotline messages to Jesse, when he's writing about her POV, he exclusively calls her 'Faden'

like, maybe it didn't poke my brain the first time I played it since he does the same thing when talking about Hartman, but coming from AW2 it's pretty jarring as a stylistic oddity...almost like there's a reason (in-universe and/or out-of-universe) that he doesn't call her 'Jesse'...almost like there's only one Faden in his story...

and given how in AW2 we also get some (quasi-) clarification regarding the limits of Alan's ability to "make stuff up" vs alter and rewrite "real-world" events that he sees in clairvoyant flashes...given the Night Springs screenplay pages you can find in AWE that parallels the FBC and the events of Control (i.e. a Director and a Scientist opening a portal to another dimension, finding an eldritch Entity, the Director trying to take its power for himself and then getting taken over before shooting himself)...given how literally all of the "dreams" Dylan tells Jesse about are descriptions/viewings of stuff that takes place on one level of reality or another ("I was the director and you were an intern"; "we were in a game, and it was a fucking boring game but you couldn't stop playing it"; Mister Door, and "a world with a writer writing about a cop, and another world where the writer was real"; a "musical" about Jesse), except, seemingly, the dream about "Jesse Dylan Faden"...

guys. are you picking up what I'm putting down here. guys. GUYS

#alan wake #control #control remedy #remedy entertainment #remedyverse #anyway sorry but i for real am a jesse dylan faden truther now and forever #not in the sense that dylan isn't 'real' or isn't a person in his own right by now #but look. if you were a writer and trying to work out the inciting plot/backstory for your main character #who needs to have a driving reason to go back to the government agency that nearly captured her for study #or alternatively: you need a reason that said government agency is able to learn about the inciting backstory event from a direct witness #without actually successfully capturing the main character in question (since it's important that she instead comes to them when she does)#it would solve a lot of your problems if you just...split your protagonist into two different people. right?#like. are you seeing the vision!!!#also i gotta say. the Gender Of It All (TM) compels me #granted i doubt remedy will go in that direction -- and even if they do i think it'd be highly ambiguous/questionable at best #kind of like how max payne 1/2 raise the vague possibility that max went insane on valkyr and he's the one that killed his family #which is largely shot down but in a way that still leaves the answer at least a little bit shrouded in ambiguity #but you know. a girl can dream

there's something about peake's writing style that reminds me of susanne clarke's in jonathan strange & mr norrell - the sophisticated humour, maybe - which i love. also, imo you can easily see he was an artist because his descriptions, the way he weaves words, are like exquisite paintings... it's fascinating how his love for art conflates in his writing too

#i mean the clarke comparison as a compliment - she's such a good writer #obv *she* was probably influenced by peake's works #but still. the comparison stands #i also feel that grrm has read and appreciated these books... asoiaf is a very different kind of story #(except for the medieval-like setting and the larger than life castles...)#but i suppose he would love a character like steerpike. the latter vaguely reminds me of baelish except he's. more interesting imo #maybe because we can see into his head while littlefinger's inner thoughts are still a mystery #or maybe because while steerpike is very cerebral at the end of the day petyr is motivated by personal passions and resentment #... unless something about steerpike's backstory is not yet revealed? in any case he seems largely... unemotional #not as passionate as baelish in his (twisted) love/obsession for catelyn for example #again. i'm still halfway through the first book so these are just my first impressions #i could be wrong!#val reads gormenghast #val speaks #txt

yeah lorenzo's tube man like build, opposum-like ways, and fascinating mindset have bewitched me

#i need to reread ubers arc to understand him better... i do think that while he has the thing about player worths and his backstory #he's not like kaiser in that his money is something to display but something to use for enjoyment #so like. he would not have an unreasonably large house because that's not Enjoyable.#etc. but also let me get back with my opinions when i finish essay draft and reread the ubers im not claiming to be an expert here #masayapping

Funny how Jeralt could've used the fact he had a Crest to claim a title but instead went mercenary mode when his own child reveals in Hopes they dislike killing.

Anyway, I am still scratching my head about how he didn't connected the dots together about Rhea and Seiros when he received a Crest and lived for i don't remember how many years

And he also somehow didn't noticed that his beloved wife had a Crest as well. Yeah they don't leave marks but aren't they supposed to give you a boost ?

NGL,

Maybe it's only in my HC or AU, but Jerry suddenly popping up with a Major Crest of Seiros and asking for a title was bound to end up with "and this man helped House Hrym and made an enemy of Adrestia so he must be terminated he and his progeny" false charges to get rid of potential "dynastic threats" to the Adrestian succession.

Jerry still thinks Rhea's scary per her support with Billy in FE16, so maybe he found her "scary" because she was still alive and kicking after all those years (canonically he was there during the Mona Rhea incident and the portrait Ignatz'n'Sylvain found in Nopes, so he knows she fakes her death periodically) - granted, he only started to find her to be sus 280 years after meeting her for the first time, so...

FWIW, Jerry could have sold more of her secrets to randoms (we don't have proof he didn't, even if the game seems to imply the Western Church and Adrestia came to resent Rhea thanks to Agarthan meddling believing she's not "what she pretends to be" and not because a drunk Jeralt casually dropped that Rhea has been running the CoS for 300 years while using a lot of aliases and faking her death periodically) and he didn't !

I guess he knew she was someone "special" or had many secrets, but never bothered to enquire or to thing about them - at least before Billy's birth and Citrus' death.

As for Citrus' crest, I wonder if Rhea didn't explicitely ask Citrus not to tell a soul about her crest, worried as she was about her and how potential Sothis hosts - or just, bearers of the Crest of Flames could be attacked by Agarthans or sought after for the power of the crest.

Granted, Jerry didn't notice Citrus' nature as an artificial being so...

#anon #replies #Jerry'n'Citrus stuff #i forgot what was my tag for them :(#Citrus stuff #maybe?#Jerry's entire backstory is imo rife with plotholes #unless we assume Jerry is a callous dastard #but at least from the games we can infer that despite his newfound susness at Rhea #he didn't share her secrets or what he knew of them with the world at large #that's a win for him i guess?#FE16 #3 Nopes

Jon Kent is so cute! Such a good boy...

I do love Jon Kent, especially in the Supersons era. Modern Jon is a little lackluster to me--he is too much like Clark. And. I am primarily a Clark fan, and it sucks to be trying to read about his son and to just be like 'i wish clark was here actually'. I WANT to like Jon desperately but post the age-up it's just not felt good to read stories about him.

#shitpost #i wish more was done with christopher kent--I think he has a much better backstory.#I also prefer the adoption narrative vs a bio kid narrative #i feel like if superman and lois were going to have a kid it should be a test tube baby if not adopted.#idk this is something i get a lot in star wars too i just get so annoyed when cross-species children is assumed to be possible #i prefer it not to be--and for that to be part of the narrative #i like how mass effect handles this actually #where like asari can have children with other species but the children are always asari and other pairings/races either have to adopt #or just work with that etc idk.#christopher kent was so much more appealing to me with that too just because like #superman who was VERY NOTABLY adopted by his absolutely WONDERFUL parents also carrying on a legacy of adoption is so appealing to me #i always wanted to adopt kids myself so its a very important idea to me #its something i will never be able to do largely for monetary reasons and i have accepted that but like #i am asexual. adoption is a much more appealing narrative to me in general because it is the only one i can entertain as possible #that being said there were a lot of cute moments and well written scenes like before jon was born discussing the complexities and such.#but still #anon

would my genshin impact ocs translate well to honkai star rail hmm

#I mean fighting style wise they’d be fine #I don’t think Yoriichi would translate over since his whole thing is being shunned for being autistic in feudal Japan #George would fit in just fine on a planet like Penacony or Epsilon. They’d probably be part of the Iris Family tbh #but Yangyue and Maei would be interesting since the Fatui are such a large part of Maei’s backstory #could I translate that to the IPC?????#Wait but then she’s got the same backstory as aventurine and Boothill 😭#Hmm

I wanna post more art so have this first redesign of a somewhat older OC Read more for rambling??

His name is Cyber and He's my favorite little villain that does not deserve redemption <3 He looks so innocent 90% of the time- Any ways this is mostly me figuring out his patterns and anatomy, cause thats whats really stumped me for the past 3+ designs

THE OLD ONE WAS SO BAD I DIDNT LIKE IT AT ALL BUT I STILL KEPT IT UNTIL NOW TWT I like this one much better, the only thing I hate are the legs but im having a hard time drawing legs today (I should draw them a bit-)

I should Figure out his other designs (He has SO MANY like the true multiphase boss with angsty backstory he is)

Prepare for more quickly drawn art of him cause he's on my mind again (He often is cause he's so fun to imagine to music :D)

#justkarthings #art #oc art #LOOK AT MY BOI #HE'S SO OVERPOWERED AND EDGY #I LOVE HIM #FAVORITE VILLIAN RIGHT THERE #He's the BIG BAD of the whole series he's apart of-#Mostly cause he has a paw in everybody's lives to use them like chess pieces in his overly complicated plot to destroy a government-thing #This world is so large btw If I explained everything in tags these things would be the whole post-#Im writing a google doc and the headings alone and the basic summary of backstory for two characters leads to 27+ pages TwT
