Andre in the Guise of Saint Christopher

The legend of Saint Christopher quite clearly states that he was a giant. Not just a tall man, but a genuine giant of the beanstalk variety... Christopher's story seemed the ideal vehicle to feature another famous giant — the late Andre the.

from Prodigies: Anomalous Humans by James G. Mundie

As the story goes, it was his size that enabled him to easily transport the Christ child across a river and thereby secured his place as patron saint of travelers — that is, until the Church decided that the evidence for Christopher's very existence was entirely legendary and de-canonized him. Nonetheless, Christopher remains a popular though unofficial saint, and his image is fixed in our cultural psyche.

Christopher's story seemed the ideal vehicle to feature another famous giant — the late Andre Rousimoff, professional wrestler and actor (which amounts to the same thing).

Does mc still die in gotham au?

They still die but like way less often. Most people aren't as good at shooting a gun as the MTF and people aren't going after MC directly to kill them in Gotham.

Honestly, MC dies most to themselves. MC is used to being with SCPs where encounters are always lethal which means if they survive, they usually get out uninjured but in Gotham, not everything is a one-hit kill so they survive relatively easily but end up more injured. They can't afford to go to a doctor so the easier solution is to just kill themselves and do better next time. They're likely to die after if they don't get medical attention either way.

Joker is like, a non-issue for them. I think it'd be funny for there to be a side plot thing where MC just. Accidentally kills him. Listen, they're used to everyone around them Not Dying or at least not staying dead. How were they supposed to know the Joker would die so easily?

There's a lot of good stories where it happens but whenever I read an SCP where everything would've been fine in Foundation hands if the GOC hadn't shot first and asked questions later it always makes me think of like

I never did post the house assignment I got when I was doing the main story

Well, there ya go. Honestly I haven't gotten to them in the main story yet, but it feels like it fits

[malhare-archive]

It's so funny when horror is your escapist media, like "real life is too stressful so Im going to the haunted Chuck E. Cheese plagued by child murder in my mind palace"

[fiveappendages]

if i said SCP articles that were more like tales are much more fun compared to SCP articles that document a Thing...

also if i said every GOI that ISN'T the foundation was criminally underrated in one way or another.

Revisiting more non-ghoul anomalous persons on campus(although I do think there'd be something to Moby being the only one. . . .)

I remember posting about a Gorgon and I think maybe she would do well as like. A Darkwick General nurse. Because DG is an inpatient facility, they don't do outpatient work. So if she, as somebody who is able to curse people(or, well, it really depends on how much of one's body has turned to stone if it's an illness or a curse,) were to take an interest in long term curse care, I think that would make sense right?

And then I thought of another OC. . .a minotaur who teaches(or is currently substituting for the person who normally teaches) Enigmatology. . .obviously she specializes in anomalous mazes and escape rooms that use anomalies and the like.

I just. Want to explore the idea of anomalous peoples being integrated into society or into the Institute and its staff. Because while I'm sure Moby is a rare case, I'd like to think there are at least a handful of others. The Anomalous Investigation Institute is everywhere in the world after all.

I imagine none of them are particularly well regarded, especially by the general students. Understandably this makes them keep to themselves more to avoid abuse(and avoid causing a scene or inconveniencing others or risking things being turned around on them) which tends to reflect poorly on them because people don't see or understand what they're going through or think that if there was a problem they'd get help from Darkwick or the Institute(of course this is discouraged--don't wanna ruin the lives of students who have so much ahead of them or who will contribute to the world and Institute at large! Unlike them who, as anomalies, simply aren't allowed to be in public at all which makes them less valuable. . .even among the Institute in many places around the world the prejudice against anomalies being 'people' is strong)

But they're passionate about what they do! And about a future where maybe anomalous societies/peoples can at least be somewhat apart of the world--even if they have to be hidden away they could at least be part of the Institute and make things better for anomalies and people and maybe someday there could be a world where they all live in harmony, as one. Maybe they don't all believe that but doing something for everybody's lives is good right?

I also like to think there's a school-like facility for young anomalous persons taken in by the Institute to be raised/trained/taught to be contributing members of human society [in the background because they obviously can't just be out there]. And maybe one of them could be a Darkwick student. And this is the first time they're among humans meant to be their 'peers' and kind of among human society and it's all very nerve-wracking especially when they aren't treated well. . .but they still try and fit in and contribute and such.

I just think there's a potential for exploration there. Of person-like anomalies and how they exist within the microsociety of the Institute's network.

(also all of them are scared of Towa--because anomalies are often afraid of Towa--and Taiga--because he just looks at them and gets hungry lol.)

a fun thing about anomalous point that I've never really talked about, and didn't get discussed much in the fic was the fact that Heath was literally an alien living in hiding on Daibazaal. Like, the Blade was trying to conceal all knowledge of Earth's existence, so not only was Keith always hiding his face outside of their base, but so was Heath. They gave him some Blade armor and passed him off as one of them, and nobody even batted an eye.
