Total Drama All Stars - Episode 3, 'Saving Private Leechball'

Same people, different font

can you be robbed of something if it never actually existed. anyway we were robbed of villain zoey

[demilypyro]

So I've seen a few too many people on twitter talking about The Kiss Scene from the new Scott Pilgrim anime. People saying it's fetishistic and indulgent, people calling it male gazey, etc. And while the kiss itself is certainly a bit exaggerated, I felt like writing a bit about why I disagree, and why context is important, like it always is. But it basically turned into an extended analysis on the metatextual treatment of Roxie Richter. So bear with me. It's a long post.

What really matters about this scene is not the kiss itself, but what precedes it. Not even just the fight scene just before it, but what precedes the whole anime series, really. And that's the Scott Pilgrim comic book, and the live action movie. Because in both, Roxie is a punchline.

She's a joke. Her character starts and ends with "one of the exes is actually a girl, I bet you didn't expect that." Jokes are made about Ramona's latent bisexuality, the movie especially treating it as funny and absurd, and her validity as a romantic interest is entirely written off by Ramona as being "just a phase." There's a fight scene, she's defeated by a man giving her an orgasm which implicitly calls her sexuality into question (come on), and the movie just moves on. It sucks. It really, really sucks.

The comic fares a little better. It never veers into outright homophobia like the movie does, and while the line about Ramona having gone through a phase remains, Roxie actually gets one over on Scott when Ramona briefly gets back with Roxie. But Roxie is still only barely a character. Like all the other evil exes, she's just a stepping stone towards the male protagonist's development. She barely even gets any screentime before she's defeated by Scott's "power of love." But Roxie stands out, since she's the only villain who is queer, or at least had been confirmed queer at that point (hi Todd). In a series that champions multiple gay men in the supporting cast, the single undeniable lesbian in the story is a villain. She's labeled as evil, made fun of, pushed aside in favor of the men, and then discarded. Her screentime was never about her, or her feelings for Ramona. It was about the straight, male protagonist needing to overcome her. And that was Roxie Richter. An unfortunate victim of the 2010s.

Fast forward to current year, and the new anime series is announced. Everybody sits down to watch the new series expecting another retelling of the same story, and.... hang on, that straight male protagonist I mentioned just died in the first episode. And now it's humanizing the villains from the original story. And there's Roxie, introduced alongside the other evil exes in the second episode, and she's being played entirely straight, without a punchline in sight. No jokes are made about her gender, no questions are made of her validity as one of Ramona's romantic interests. The narrative considers her important. In one episode, she already gets more respect than she did in either of the previous iterations of Scott Pilgrim. And this isn't even her focus episode yet... which happens to be the very next one.

The anime series goes to great lengths to flesh out the original story's villains and to have Ramona reconcile with them. And I don't think it's a coincidence that Roxie gets to go first. While Matthew Patel gets his development in episode 2, Roxie is the first to directly confront Ramona, now our main protagonist. This is notable too because it's the only time the exes are encountered out of order. Roxie is supposed to be number 4, but she's first in line, and later on you realize that she's the only one who's out of sequence. She's the one who sets the precedent for the villains being redeemed. She's the most important character for Ramona to reconcile with.

What follows is probably the most extensive, elaborate 1 on 1 fight scene in the whole show. Roxie fights like a wounded animal, her motions are desperate and pained. Ramona can only barely fight back against her onslaught. Different set-pieces fly by at breakneck speed as Roxie relentlessly lays her feelings at Ramona's feet through her attacks and her distraught shouts. And unlike the comic or the movie, Ramona acknowledges them, and sincerely apologizes. And the two end up just laying there, exhausted, reminiscing about when they were together.

Only after this, after all of this, does the kiss scene happen. Roxie has been vindicated, she has reconciled with the person who hurt her, the narrative has deemed that her anger is justified and has redeemed her character. And she gets her victory lap by making the nearest other hot girl question her heterosexuality, sharing a sloppy kiss with her as the music triumphantly crescendos.

It's... a little self-congratulatory, honestly. But it's good. It's redemption for a character who had been mistreated for over a decade. And she punctuates the moment by being very, very gay where everyone can see it, no men anywhere in sight. Because this is her moment. And then she leaves the plot, on her own accord this time, while humming the hampster dance. What a legend. How could anything be wrong with this.

[pompeiiiiiisaidso]

I love how op (@kiseiakhun) represents Alan as a dedicated creature of hatred when he finds it needed because it is 100% canonical and true to his character, and you simply can not convince me otherwise. He absolutely sends modern villains that he finds ridiculous extremely hurtful hate mail to their doorstep in his expensive cursive handwriting. He definitely goes out of his way to pass by some of their fights only to yell insults at them, especially when he's in civilian clothing. Please DC, give me more Alan Scott being a menace like every hero from the Golden Age was meant to be.

[iamespecter]

Ah yes, the one guy I like vs the five other femme fatales

I did the thing that I saw one other mutual do!!! honestly, it was VERY hard to pick for most of these (save for Caine and Glamrock Chica) because I ADORE a LOT of characters. And doing this honestly makes me realize just how much I gravitate towards characters that are doomed by the narrative or their scriptwriters one way or another

My current favorite is Caine because it's pretty much self-explanatory, he is my current blorbo. My scrunkly. My precious lil scrunkler guy

Chica is my comfort character. She literally raised me alongside Freddy Fazbear when I was going through one of the toughest moments of my life, living with my abusive dad (and yes the chicken and the bear are so married to me and me only)

Master Tigress save me you were taken from me by the fourth film and I will NEVER live that down

Where do I even start with Six from Little Nightmares. By god, this poor yellow raincoat wearing child of mine. I both love and hate just how hopeless her story is. People say that the ending of the first game ends with her escaping via a boat, but I really don't think so. I think she's stuck at the Maw because I keep saying it, THE BOAT DROPPING THE GUESTS LEFT. THERE IS NO "OTHER BOAT". IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. (before this becomes a ramble, I'm gonna stop it right there.)

I'm VERY guilty of liking Lucy Wilde from Despicable me because I hate the franchise (the first film was good), but by god, IS SHE THE FUNNIEST SHIT. To me, she literally carries the films she's in, she inspired one of my main OCs' humor and even appearance. I don't care about Gru, or the villains, or the girls, just give me more Lucy.

GLAMROCK CHICA MY BELOVED I AM GOING DOWN ON MY KNEES RN PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MARRY ME I'M PUTTING ALL OF MY POINTS IN THE RIZZ STATS PLEASE JUST ONE CHANCE BABYGIRL OINE CHANCE GIVE ME ONE CHANCE (I am Glamrock Chica's #1 fan and I will always be angry at Scott for what he's doing to her and her variants)

sigh,,,, what I ever did to like such characters that I know will end up crushing my heart one way or another, I don't know but I do know that at the very least, I have the power to diverge from canon as an artist

pairing: cyclops x male reader

request: Can I order a fic with Cyclops (from X-Men '97) x villain!reader? Porn without plot. All you need to know is that reader has time travel powers and took Cyclops back in time with him. Y/N told him that if he wanted to return to the present with his wife Jean (who is pregnant) he had to fuck him GOOD for hours. Reader tries to maintain a joking attitude, but he's just a crybaby. Cyclops has a huge cock and degrades reader a lot while slapping his face, calling him "slut" and "whore". Size difference too!!

warnings: SMUT, cheating, lil size difference, degradation kink, breeding kink, a lil physical, rough sex

"how much longer am I gonna have to fuck you slut" scott asks roughly thrusting upward into you "well if you wanna see your wife again you'll shut up and keep going" you spit out "who's the real one in control here sweet cheeks, the one getting his ass fucked up or the one fucking you up" scott asks wrapping his hand around your throat tightly.

"the one with the time travel powers" you say laughing "you think this is fucking funny" scott asks slapping you across the face harshly "seeing you suffer through this brightens my day" you reply smirking "oh I'll show you suffering" scott says before flipping you around, face pressed against the ground before scott reinserts his dick back into you forcefully.

he slams into with full force not holding back at all "fuck this tight hole" you urge arching your back to let scott get deeper "little fucking slut" scott says pressing your face even harder into the grass "yes all yours" you joke "I'll fuck the smile right off your face" scott sternly says, you laugh at his comment but he doesn't take that lightly.

scott turns you around into missionary and continues pounding your hole with no stop in sight, you could feel the tears brimming at the corner of your eyes as you felt you climax coming and without a second thought you came on your chest and stomach "okay you can stop" you huff trying to get up but scott pushes you back down.

"no we're not done till I've emptied my balls into you, by then you should be full and pregnant then I won't have to go back to jean" scott grins going quicker and harder than before, you could feel you legs going weaker and weaker till they felt completely numb "please I can't take it" you beg "where's that smile and cocky attitude from before, all fucked out of you" scott teases slapping your face before bringing it back to look at him.

"just look at how your pretty hole swallows up my cock so easily" scott says admiring the way your hole got all red and puffy "cum" you vaguely hic "speak up whore" scott orders "cum one me" you yell "fine I guess you can have it" scott says and shortly after he fills you up "but this doesn't mean were finished" scott says slapping your ass.

scott proceeded to fuck you for the next 4 hours, cumming in you over and over till you were filled to the max and it looked like you were actually pregnant and only then did he finally agree to get taken back to the present "I'm sure when we get back beast can find a way for you to actually get pregnant" scott says rubbing your belly, you took him back to the present and it would be a lie to say everyone wasn't shocked when they saw you fucked out at filled with cum and scott naked with a messy dick.

(This post has been altered to be more general. Please respond to replies and reblogs accordingly. Thank you.)

If I see one more post that villainizes Scott for attacking Joel, or anyone else, for that matter, I’m going to flip my lid.

First of all, it’s a death game. They don’t need a reason to kill each other. Scott and Joel are very close friends outside of the game. They used to be neighbors. The people who are closest tend to go after each other the hardest, because they’re the most comfortable with ending each other’s seasons.

Secondly, it’s not at all unreasonable. Joel’s whole thing is being a menace. He was upset when someone on reddit said that he’s “lawful good” in the Life Series. He said that his goal is to be “chaotic evil”. Joel is a constant menace to Scott and many of Scott’s allies. As a Joel viewer, you might see that as Joel being clever or powerful, but he is just a menace to almost everybody else and that is literally his goal. Of course Scott would want to push back a little.

Third, sure. Joel often doesn’t effectively do much to Scott. This is NOT due to a lack of effort. Joel tries incredibly hard to irritate Scott. It’s his love language. Joel and Scott are close, and Joel thinks it’s hilarious to get Scott riled up. It’s like targeting your brother in a game for the crime of being your brother. Joel failing to do harm to Scott is not the same as Joel doing nothing to hurt Scott. Joel has repeatedly made his intentions clear.

Fourth, the poster specifically mentioned that Scott killed Joel in Secret Life “without a reason”. Joel spent a whole episode of Secret Life recruiting three people to kill Scott. I think their rivalry is a pretty good reason, but, again, they don’t really need a reason. It is a death game. They are friends. They were on different teams. They are bound to attack each other. That’s how the game works.

Joel fans, you don’t ever have to defend Joel from Scott. If you were a real Joel fan, I think you would know that Joel loves Scott dearly and that’s why he’s such a menace to him. Don’t attack Scott for his mutual friendship with Joel. They know each other’s boundaries and have never stepped on them. The members of the Life Series have stated again and again that everyone in the Life Series shows a healthy and mutual respect and love for everybody else in the series and that, if it made it into a video, everyone is okay with it. Joel and Scott literally take time out of their day to excitedly talk about their sessions with each other by themselves. Take a chill pill. Scott and Joel are just fine.

#plus y'know#you're wrong#of all the things ahsoka gets wrong#thrawn's characterization ain't one of them#indeed#its one of the only things it gets definitively right#it continues his characterization from Rebels#building on where he was at the end of that show#also “not matching my fanon/headcanon”#is not getting his characterization wrong

Of course they mean "It's not as sympathetic a portrayal as the one in the New Canon Thrawn books!" to which I say, good, all that backstory and supposed noble intentions is irrelevant anyway, doesn't excuse anything he's done in canon and should not affect how other characters in the narrative perceive him.

People are still complaining about ahsoka "mischaracterizing" thrawn?

[very-annoyed-crow]

In third life there are no previous winners, but i would like to note grian and scar agree that no matter who wins in the cactus ring, third life can be considered a double win. Spoken word makes it so, grian kills scar and the watchers deem him sole Victor of the game. The sun beats down upon the sand.

We move on to last life. Grian our first Victor meets his end by the blade of one scott smajor who goes on to claim victory of that game. The sun sets to night and the stars in the sky glow.

See double life, pearl and Scott stand alone at the end of the game. It may be by Scott's own hand that he meets his end, but the watchers need a Victor and the emotions in his decision allow his sacrifice to her to count. Pearl caused smajor's death and as so is crowned the victor and the moon out shines the stars above.

Martyn is the first winner we see take the title with vigor and bloodthirst. Time is limited and so in blood he will steal mere minutes. A choice made to kill his own teammate at the end, again we see the stars fall to allow a new Victor to rise. And so the human joins the group. Maybe a comet passes by as his time ticks down.

Scar did not want to be the villain of this storyline but the watchers gaze was heavy and the scrolls left little room for bargaining. If it is a villain they want, then a villain he can play, and so he does. The moon may be red tonight but it is day when she falls trying to escape him. "She's dead scar, you won" He is crowned the victor and the earth seems to hum but that may be the secret keeper.

Pluto hums in the sky without a moon as cleo steals an invalid yet celebrated win.

In wild life we see many a twist to the rules and wonder what will happen next with anticipation. Some adapt to the wildness better than others and Joel did not shy away. Taking to every twist like a fish takes to water, Make it wild they whispered, and so he was. He hunts his way through players to the final match. The sun beats down over the mountain as he snipes grian down. A Victor's blood to secure his win. I wonder how the world will sing for him yet. The revving of a car in the distance or perhaps that was thunder?

Each time a new winner is crowned the final life of a previous winner is taken by their hand. Who will be next? The watchers await in excitement.

[gatorbites-imagines]

I actually caught you when your asks are open this is spectacular

I know you write for Plastic Man, but I don't know about Negative Man? Larry Trainor, comics or show. So you can do this with either one you want.

Male reader who's similar to the invisible man – Not criminal, maybe backstory, but at least was a scientist who turned himslef invisible but a tad more realistic, blind but in the more Matt Murdock way, or just blind, I don't mind either. Hcs or anything else of any kind, but hcs would probably be easier.

I alao don't mind if it's ftm reader or the explicitly of it!! So sorry if this is all over the place. I didn't want it to be long😞

Lawrence “Larry” Trainor x Male reader

Headcanons

I don’t actually know a lot about Larry, so this is based off the wiki. The reader is also somewhat based off the 1933 movie The Invisible Man but with my own spin, since I wasn’t sure what else you might have been referring too, hehe. I hope my lack of knowledge still makes this good to read.

I got major Morticia and Gomez vibes from these two as i wrote.

You were no superhero, nor were you a villain. You were just a man who flew too close to the sun and got burnt on the way to discovery. The sun had so much to give, something you knew so many years ago before Superman appeared, and you learned his power source was the sun.

You barely kept track of when you were born nowadays, there was no need too. From what little you could gather, you didn’t age, you didn’t hunger or thirst, you didn’t even need to sleep. But you knew you had been around before radioactivity was discovered.

You had been around before the major superheroes became a thing, it wasn’t something that interested you a lot. There were a couple you knew, like Alan Scott, and Jay Garrick, you had even met wonder woman once or twice. But you were no hero.

So, it was no shocker that you didn’t know about this so-called doom patrol. How would you. Its not like you owned a tv, and you didn’t care much for the news stations on the radio nowadays. It was all ads and dramatic sound effects.

You were never sure what to call yourself. Alan used to call you a scientist, and Jay did too even though he hadn’t visited in a long time, at least it felt like a long time. But you had heard he got married and had kids, so of course that was more important. You still sent them both holiday cards though.

As a scientist you had studied radioactivity before it was discovered by anyone else. You had always had a habit of being consumed by your work, so when you climbed out of your pit of research, someone else had already claimed the discovery.

It didn’t matter though, as what interested you was the sun and the power you just knew it stored. Of course, it didn’t end well. Going invisible, blind, deaf, and losing pretty much every other sense hadn’t been on your list of predictions. But that’s what happened.

You could still see, hear, smell, and so on… in your own way. It was impossible to explain, but you didn’t truly exist the same way everyone else seemed to do. The radioactivity from the sun had given you other powers too.

But those powers weren’t used a lot. Why would you need to fly, or phase through things, or channel the power of the sun to blast somebody. You were anti-military and anti-government, that’s why they never supported your research and buried your existence from the history books, so you weren’t gonna fight.

When you finally learned about this so-called doom patrol you almost felt a little bashful, or could you say miffed? It was like one of them had stolen your entire look. Well, most of it anyways.

You were both wrapped from head to toe in bandages, though his seemed much thicker and sturdier than yours, like they were inlaid with something. And his clothing were more modern, and looked more practical.

What could you say, you were a sucker for the fashion you grew up with. So, what if your clothing, furniture and everything about you screamed Victorian era. Some of the younglings Jay brought along when he visited said you looked very “antique” and that “old stuff is in”.

You also didn’t wear shades like Mr. negative, Larry, you later learned, did. You were blind as a bat and had no physical eyes anyways, so why wear shades in the first place?

It was hard to explain how your body worked, it had the form of a human when you wrapped it, but it also… didn’t exist. You always just blamed it on the undiscovered art of radioactivity and science so advanced the world hadn’t gotten there yet.

It did look slightly entertaining to see you in your Victorian era dressing robe, in a pair of your best slippers with a glass of brandy you couldn’t really taste, beside Larry, who had very clearly seen better days.

Both being wrapped in bandages created a kind of comradery between you two in the beginning. Lary had thought maybe you were like him, especially when you explained how you got where you were, since his accident was based around radioactivity too.

Only for you to shock him, but unwrapping your head and revealing… nothing. Literally nothing. You even grabbed his hand and brought it to where your head would be, only for it to pass through it like nothing.

Your body seemed present when you wrapped it, a phenomenon you were still studying to this day. Right now, your results were pointing in the direction of it being mental, but who truly knew at the end of the day.

Larry hadn’t been willing to remove his own bandages for very obvious reasons, no matter how many times you told him it wouldn’t hurt you, and that it wouldn’t matter. You were raised too well to make any demands.

Instead, you pulled out your very old photo album and walked him through your family, happily pointing out pictures of yourself and how you looked, only scowling a little as he laughed at your hairstyle and outfits of the time.

In the end you touched him by accident. There was some accident in your lab that tore some of the bandages on his hand, and without a second thought you took his hand and wrapped it again. Obviously, nothing happened to you, you didn’t have a body that could be hurt, but it was still a shock for Larry.

It shouldn’t have come as a surprise that Larry was as touch starved as he was. Not having any human contact for so long would drive anybody mad, except you that is, but you also were convinced that that was some mental result of your accident.

So, you didn’t turn him away when Larry would start appearing in your giant Victorian era mansion, far out in the mountains, so far away from anything that whatever radioactivity you worked on wouldn’t reach.

You also didn’t mind that Larry started searching you out for contact. He started small, just sitting closer to you as you had tea together, where it evolved to sitting up against you as you went through your papers, to Larry going as far as laying his bandaged head in your lap as you read aloud from one of your many books.

Larry was so sweet, in his own hesitant way. He even let you study how his own powers worked, but to no surprise you two didn’t reach a certain result, but neither of you had expected that.

Hell, Larry even got more comfortable going around in public, as you would hook your arms together and almost strut along, as if the wide eyed and sometimes hateful stares didn’t touch you.

That was also how you finally met the justice league. The only one that interested you was Superman, and he wouldn’t let you study him as much as you wanted. Your extreme studies of the sun at least caught Batman’s interest, enough for you two to have very long difficult conversations about science. You later learned you reminded him of his butler, which you took as a compliment since he was spoken so highly of.

The doom patrol wasn’t your favorite, you didn’t trust that Chief guy, and rightfully so. But who were you to tell Larry who he could and couldn’t forgive, you just made it very clear you weren’t gonna help that guy.

In the end, the relationship you two shared was strange, but soft in ways that was hard to put into words. Your first kiss took months to happen, as you didn’t have lips when you unwrapped your bandages, and Larry needed so long to grow comfortable to pull his off.

Holding hands, or tapping your foot against each other’s became how you expressed love. That, or giving gifts. You made place in your giant mansion for his many gifts, wanting to show them all off.

And Larry? Larry got a whole new wardrobe as well as many other trinkets he might need. You even dove head first into the tools and armor market, wanting to give Larry something to keep him safe. You couldn’t have cared less about the rest of his team, they weren’t really your friends, just Larry.

Those items might have gotten your usual Victorian flare to them too, even if they were sleek and modern in their abilities and storage. It was a bit like your way of marking Larry as yours.

It was still difficult for Larry to feel safe without his bandages in your mansion, not just because of how dangerous it was, but also because he found himself so hideous. You didn’t find him ugly, not at all. You also knew it would take Larry a long time to believe you, so you didn’t force him to accept it, just left the opportunity open.

You two made a strange but surprisingly strong couple, when you finally visited the outside world. Those few times were either to have tea with Batman’s very smart butler, or to blast somebody with the power of the sun for hurting your dear love. No matter what though, you always left an impression, not that you cared. All you cared about was leaving one with Larry.

[minziemoon]

it hasn't even been a week since the finale of wild life, but i'm already getting my hopes up for team ups in the next series. so here are all the team ups that i will be manifesting into existence until further notice:

1. gem + pearl + cleo + lizzie

- MY GIRLS <//3 i wanna see them be girlbosses together and giggle after killing men. it might be harder than ever to get them tgt now after the events of wild life, specifically gem and pearl, BUT PLEASEEE 🙏 a season where they're teamed and gem or lizzie win at the end is my DREEEAMM.

2. scar + tango + pearl

- kinda random lineup, but i think they'd have the time of their lives being lil gremlins together. they'd hype each other up while annoying the shit out of everyone around them and it would be so funny to watch.

3. grian + martyn + joel

- they'd either be villainous masterminds, or dumbasses who'd die to their own traps, or both at the exact same time. the potential for chaos is so fun to imagine. would definetly end up betraying each other by the end.

4. scott + etho

- i don't really have a good explanation for this one, i'm just curious about how they'll work together. they don't interact much, but when they do it's hilarious. and I KNOOOW they'd have potential once their strengths combine. myb etho would get a chance at winning.

5. bamboozlers

- little to no chance of them coming back around for a 2nd time but I MISS THEM SM <//3 their end was so tragic they deserve a second chance. i hope they at least have some sort of special allience between them in the future if nothing else.

[forthegothicheroine]

I've often thought about the cute gold diggers of the pre-code 30s (there's a depression on, who can blame me?) as compared to the black widows of the film noir 40s (let's both of us skip the innocent act.) Barbara Stanwyck was versatile enough to play both, but they conjure very different images of calculating girls out for what they can get. I have a hard time imagining Lizabeth Scott giggling in a chorus line or Jean Harlow watching a man drown without a flicker of emotion (although of course, she didn't live long enough to try.)

The gold digger is cute and spunky, and may be either ditzy or brilliantly street smart. (Hats off, as always, to the Cuphead Show for creating a G-rated version of the smart vamp in Miss Chalice.) There were evil women in the pre-code era (often played by Myrna Loy) but they tended to be more horror movie villains than girls just out to hook a rich sucker. But the power a gold digger has over men is a constant power struggle. If he cuts her off, that's it. If she ditches him, he can buy another gold digger (but never one as good as her...) There's a soft femdom (or perhaps findom) vibe to movies like Babyface or I'm No Angel, where the man voluntarily giving power to the woman (whether by choice or by trickery) is the very thing he seems to enjoy.

The femme fatale may convincingly play innocent, but I can't think of one who pretended to be cute- you either saw the "schoolgirl act" or self-possessed wickedness. There were spunky heroines in film noir (often played by Ida Lupino) but they wanted you to know how smart they were right away. Importantly, the femme fatale isn't happy with just vamping her way towards money. What makes her fatal is, of course, her willingness to kill. In Double Indemnity, former pre-code gold digger Barbara Stanwyck has already hooked her rich husband, and now she can't get rid of him fast enough. Like the gold digger, her power is limited- if a man says "no thanks, you're not worth killing for" then there's not much she can do. But the push-pull of power here comes in part from the man being a bit dirty himself. It's rare (though not unknown) for a noir dame to destroy a totally innocent man. If he isn't a bad man to begin with, he usually jumps to be one under her tutelage. Walter Neff may say "You're a little more rotten," but who's really counting? The most honest couple in film noir, Laurie and Bart in Gun Crazy, both blame themselves rather than each other, and both are right.

I don't think either archetype is inherently misogynistic or inherently empowering- any of these characters can be wildly complex, and while iconic, they weren't the only types of female characters of this era. But that push-pull of power in very different ways fascinates me.

[astronomical-bagel]

also, scar's ploy for this episode? Not new at all. So often he tries to make allies by saying 'you see everyone else? I hate them, they probably hate you too, we should team up bc that makes sense. I will also give you nice things in order to be your ally.'

sometimes it kinda works, but then he so often ruins this by doing this to every single team on the server, and so everyone knows that he's conning them and they don't trust him and he ends up with very many enemies!! this happens in basically every season to varying degrees-- with last life obviously being the most severe.

but today.... holy shit today... he gives Joel a kill and therefore ten hearts, he gave Bdubs that creeper spawner a little bit ago, he agrees to burn down the globe with the Heart Foundation and then tells on them, cementing him as trustworthy in everyone's minds. Near the end both the mounders and gem & the scotts are trying to convince scar to be on their team.

Despite being the designated 'villain of the server', being alone and pathetic made everyone less wary of him and contributed a lot to him winning the game. I'm so in awe that this plot of his finally worked, and I'm so fucking proud of him bc he so deserves this win so much. Everyone give it up for the one and only goodtimeswithscar <33

[solisthetired]

My take on the dp x dc concept of lady gotham :D. She shifts like clockwork but with time periods instead of age(tho she does slightly shift age as well).

Rant about the drawings past the cut.

So i had wanted to draw lady gotham for a while, but i was struggeling with what kind of outfit i wanted to give her. I ended up with the time period shifting, so that i could give her all of them+ modern time cause that was added later on in the idea. With a base of black hair, red eyes, green skin, a pearl necklace, bat ear pointed hair and gargoyle wings.

The green skin and red eyes are to tie in danny phantom more, since those are a common combo in the show and the one i liked most.

Also the ghost powers she would excels at would be ghostly wail and ecto manipulation (shields and stuff) as a nudge to Dinah Drake-black canary and Alan Scott-green lantern, both operational in gotham before(?) Batman.

Any reference to the bat heroes and villains appeared on her outfits later on.

Also all of what I know about gotham history is according to the dc wiki page on gotham and for the time periods fashion I just looked at pictures from fashion history sites and added my own flair.

----------------------------------------------------

The first time period is 1840 because that is when the foundation for gotham was laid and the whole gothic vibe was chosen.

I tried to make her look more like a standerd ghostly look, cause I felt this would be when she first formed so it was all a little more instinctually ghostly. This is also why her eyes are covered.

In the background you can see part of gotham and wayne manor from high in the sky lit by a cresent moon.

On her outfit you have nightwings and harleys logos, a patch with wheat to refer to scarecrow and a little pointed ruffle to just refer to any batfamily hero.

----------------------------------------------------

Second time period is 1880 for being the time in which gotham came the closed to a personal golden age. the wiki refered to " by the end of the century" and I like the 1880s, so 1880s instead of 1890s.

With this one I tried to give "succesfull bussines woman vibe" but still a hint to the first look with the long messy hair.

The backgrounds a simpler one this time, but with a cool gargoyle and an almost half moon.

This one has red hoods logo on the arm, a vine bracelet for poison ivy, a bird head umbrella for pinguin and again a pointed ruffle for all bats.

----------------------------------------------------

Third time period is 1930s for when gotham got its infamousy as a crime capitol.

With this one I tried to make it a bit more caring type of feel, since that is what i read (and liked) a lot for her personality and I thought that would start in this time period cause she had a lot to worry about for her gothamites.

The background is an alley cause i wanted the batsignal in the last drawing and gotham without an alley felt wrong. The alley is lit by an almost full moon peeking trough the beginning of a smog filled sky.

The references on this one are: red robins logo as a broach, a cat for catwomen, riddlers question mark as a broach, a pointed edge on the fur trimmed cape for all bats and it wasn't meant as a reference at first, i just liked the disign but i forgot him on any other drawing so the shoes are a reference to the joker cause he wears something similar in Batman:the animated series.

----------------------------------------------------

Last time period is just general modern times cause now we have the batfamily. I feel this form was first created when it was just batman but kept shifting with each new robin. Now having settled on Damians robin.

Honestly I struggled with this one and it ended up way more simple then the others but I wanted it to be general formal modern and that is just a really boring look.

Background is just the blimp filled gotham sky with the batsignal lit, cause I love those silly blimps.

In this one I added; Damians robin logo (as cufflinks) and utility belt, the bad side of two-face's coin as a broach, a batman cape and Jasons white streak cause I like the headcanon that Jasons her favorite.

----------------------------------------------------

Now that you looked at the drawings and read my rant, you might notice a few things add up.

Nightwing > red hood > red robin > Damians robin

Cresent moon(+ plus clear sky) > almost half moon(+ little clouds) > almost full moon(+ smog color and some clouds) > full moon(batsignal)(+ just smog)

Really long hair > lower back length > shoulder blade length > long bob

I like ways to connect drawings and these where some I found fun to do.

The grand continuation of the Island reimagining.

I wanted to go all out and extend the cast to a solid 24, but there are only 45 or so other contestants (and Blaineley, but her specific case is kinda hard to replicate). There is one character I could put in a supporting role and add back in later but…

Anywho, Revenge, Pahkitew, and the reboot have their casts split between them across two seasons. Revenge stays together alongside two OCs and nine PI and I2 contestants, all undetermined. With that out of the way:

The Friendship Finale F’trio. Aside from Cameron’s bead eyes it’s all a matter of stylization instead of an outright redesign, although Zoey’s sporting a neat tattoo.

Most of Mikey’s alters are a little more down to earth in their characterization, seeing as they all would’ve had to manifest in several very different parts of the world to exist as they do. Mal instead goes from relatively normal to halfway between Izzy and Scary on the energy scale. Mike himself dials up his awkwardness.

Zoey and Cam are more or less the same, although their mutual lack of social skills are played up.

These three don’t really need changing either, although between Heather’s alliance growing from three to five in the Island concept and the canon reboot having three full time antagonists, I’m looking into Jo being a more active villain.

Aaaand this is the point I kinda got experimental with the redesigns. Lightning’s bead eyes, B’s neck, and whatever I did with Scott’s face are all one thing, it’s mostly Dawn and how I did to her what I did to Cody.

It’s funny how the eyes that canon Staci has make her look high all the time. Remember, TDRI’s getting a full length so Staci gets fleshed out a bit more before she inevitably gets Zeked. Again, Dakota and Sam need relatively little changing, but Dakota at least won’t be mutated this time.

Too much.
