Fun group question for the boys: If asked, which one would any given Link (or Zelda) say was the "most dangerous" of the group and why? Your pick whether this is off first impression or after knowing each other a while LOL.

They're having a great time XD

Mans so flat they rotated him 90 degrees and he disappeared from the narrative.

Psssst, hey Sky.

Thoughts on Ghirahim?

sometimes I remember that in episode 1 Max says "c'mon guys I'll take you to our tent" which would imply that Max expected that he could share a tent with both Neil AND Nikki. and from later episodes we see that it's just the boys and it's so funny to me to imagine the conversation that must've happened between Gwen (I say her because David wouldn't have the heart to tell Max he CAN'T be with his new friends) and Max. She's just sooo tired and pissed having to gather what little patience she has to - as gently as possible - explain to the kids that just crashed a bus - and possibly David- why they can't spend 24/7 together.

I like to imagine Nikki sometimes sneaks over for a sleepover and her "bed" is just a pile of blankets on the floor arranged like a nest. she calls it "den time" or smnth

I have a question. Out of all the amphibians you can think of, which have the most protuberant, goofy-looking, bug eyes? Like, I know most frogs and toads have pretty bulging eyes but there's gotta one or two species that take that up to eleven? Love your blog, it's a really nice mix of informative and fluffiness.

Oof, this is a tough one. Really had to give it some thought.

Purple frogs, Nasikabatrachus, have eyes that look like they have been glued onto a ball of clay:

But I feel like that's not what you're going for.

I think perhaps the most strikingly bulbous eyes belong to frogs of the genus Leptobrachium

These frogs have such huge heads—and then in those heads such huge eyes—that they really look like they were drawn by a cartoonist.

I’m gonna be honest I didn’t realize the new 52 messed with Kon that much till I read your post and now I can’t get over the potential. I’m a Tim/Kon girly at heart so I would devour anything you write exploring the 52 vs typical Kon. Also Time being in a clone sandwich is 👌.

the new-52 messed Kon up SO bad it's ridiculous. like, to the point i would personally argue he's a completely unrelated character to pre-Flashpoint/Rebirth Kon. his personality, his suit, his origin, all different. the only real similarities are the name and powerset. and even New-52!Kon's powers are slightly different from pre-Flashpoint!Kon. New-52!Kon is a clone of a future version of Jon Lane Kent, cloned by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. to provide genetic material to Jon Lane Kent, whose body was not handling being half human/half Kryptonian well, it was a whole thing. New-52!Kon is also where we get the infamous "Kon-El means 'abomination of the house of El' and Kara basically named him a slur in Kryptonian culture" tidbit, because that is the only time that's canon. (originally Kon-El was a name gifted by Clark to accept Kon as his family way back in the 90s) he also never went by Conner Kent. New-52!Kon just straight up didn't have any real human identity or connections, outside of being very close to Tim and some Titans.

the very TLDR of Kon's history is: during post-Crisis/pre-Flashpoint, a clone called Superboy is created by CADMUS. at first, he's considered to be a clone of a dude named Paul Westfield and is not Kryptonian whatsoever, he was simply made to look like Superman and only has Tactile Telekinesis as a power. then, it was made canon that actually he was a clone of Lex Luthor and Clark Kent, but Lex hid this fact and slowly, Kon developed more Kryptonian powers. he's given the name Kon-El by Clark, and is taken in by the Kents, getting the name Conner Kent. then Flashpoint happens, we get the New-52, and we're given the above version of Kon-El, who is a clone of Jon Lane Kent, created by N.O.W.H.E.R.E. who has mostly very strong telekinesis powers and some Kryptonian powers. he's with the Titans for a bit, then at the end of the New-52, he kills some aliens and feels bad about it so he decides to fuck off and is never seen again, it's presumed he's dead but never confirmed. then Rebirth happens and DC makes Jon Kent the current Superboy, we get Supersons and all that, and it's assumed that no version of Kon-El exists. just at all. he's not around whatsoever, Jon is our only Superboy. *but* in 2019, we get a new Young Justice run and the pre-Flashpoint Kon-El is back, and we're given the explanation of: Kon got accidentally teleported to this alternate realm called Gemworld and then Flashpoint happened, and since that was a Crisis Event that changed the timeline, the poor lad got *erased* from the timeline, causing most people to *not fucking remember him* and for him to remember a timeline that no longer exists. some of the Young Justice team vaguely remember him, Ma and Pa Kent remember him, but notably, Clark *does not remember him*. it's not an issue of "Clark ignored Kon in favor of Jon" it's an issue of "Kon was erased from the timeline and didn't exist for years bc he was stuck in Gemworld and Clark just doesn't remember Kon or Kon's timeline" which to me, is far more tragic but i digress. since then, Kon has been back and is present in most significant Superfamily runs, with his own recent mini-series, Superboy: Man of Tomorrow. (which was very good btw)

so basically: the New-52 fucked Kon up so bad they wrote him out of comics for years and then brought back the pre-Flashpoint version, but never *explicitly* killed the New-52 version off. so hypothetically, it's possible that there are currently two characters existing in the DC universe named Kon-El who have been Superboy. and like i said above, one of New-52!Kon's only real significant relationships was with Tim, it was the only thing the New-52 managed to get right about Superboy, his closeness to Tim. they have a *lot* of moments that read incredibly queer. and ofc, it's just outright confirmed in Dark Crisis: Young Justice that Tim had a crush on pre-Flashpoint!Kon at some point. so while comics are intent on pretending New-52!Kon doesn't exist, i am intent on putting Tim in a clone sandwich.

because i do think it's fun to play with Tim having genuine feelings and potentially a relationship with both of them. and the fucked up nature of him not fully *remembering* his relationship with pre-Flashpoint!Kon (which is a canon thing, in YJ(2019) Tim has vague memories of Kon he's struggling to piece together and understand why he cares about this guy he doesn't recognize so much) and how frustrating that is for Tim. he knows he loves Kon, but it's all foggy besides that. and so it's even *more* fucked up if Tim dated New-52!Kon before he got emo and ran off into the unknown. obviously in canon no one has told current Kon about New-52!Kon bc comics are doing the good ol' tried and true of "sweep that shit under the rug" but for fanfic, i think it's fun to ask the question of: would anyone *tell* Kon? especially Tim? who now remembers dating both versions of them? would he admit to Kon that briefly, he had another Kon? how would Tim cope with that and move on? personality wise, they could not be more different. they dress and act and look different. they're not the same person, but there's certainly a questionable factor of Tim's dating history including two Kon-Els.

the idea i've had for a while is Tim slowly starting to date pre-Flashpoint!Kon again. it feels familiar and like home. and Tim has grieved and accepted that wherever New-52!Kon is, he doesn't want to come home, he didn't love TIm enough to stay and try. so Tim takes the Kon he has, and genuinely has a happy relationship. like for once, life is good and things almost make sense for Tim. but then, of course, New-52!Kon comes back. he decides he wants to try again and he finds Tim. only to find well. he's been replaced. and technically, he's been replaced with the *original* that he didn't even know *existed*. and if being a clone is bad enough, that just makes it a hundred times worse. because imagine knowing you're actually the second Kon-El your boyfriend who you never *technically* broke up with fell in love with. that's gotta give you some kind of complex.

so i think it's fun if both Kons try to step back and let the other Kon date Tim. both of them have reasons to feel like the "replacement" or "fake" Kon, and it makes them incredibly awkward with each other. do they count as the same person? bc they definitely don't *feel* like the same person to each other, but with weird timeline stuff, who can really say. them settling on an awkward throuple that's really meant to be Tim just dating them both but somehow they end up dating each other too is so fun for me. they both feel like imposters to the Superboy name but are so deeply in love with Tim Drake, it's the one thing truly connecting them. and then of course, Tim feels bad in that somehow, he's betraying both of them for having feelings for the other. but they make it work, with a lot of awkward angst and miscommunication. i just think it'd be fun. very difficult to write to get all the weird timeline nuances down in a way that's understandable in a fanfic (bc you can't just. infodump like i did on this post) but doable. also difficult to tag, because even though i argue these are two different characters, i'm pretty sure Ao3 groups them under the same character tag. so it'd be difficult to convey it's not *really* as selfcest-y as it would imply. comics, man. DC will never acknowledge New-52!Kon again, and he's admittedly a terrible adaptation of Kon-El, but. i think he was sort of neat in his own right and i'd *love* for DC to just inexplicably bring him back and make the current Kon deal with the consequences of all that. and them make Tim kiss them both. obviously.

Real question I want answered after watching the lastest Helluva Boss episode:

Did Barbie Wire witness the trial??

[fearwasalwaysanoption]

I'm curious about how Ford would ask about McGucket pov of their relationship. Like, how did Stan and Fiddleford get together and then get married? Hope I'm making any sense, just curious and fiddlestan starving over here.

It's cool if you don't want to answer. I just love your art and comics! They're fun to read!

Have a great day!

Very good question, one I'm still trying to figure out the answer to myself.

I would imagine that they met around the time Stan started the Murder Hut, perhaps Fidds was allured by the advertisements featuring the strangely familiar shack and its owner, or maybe Stan decided to finally explore the town. Either way they ended up crossing paths.

Their relationship was (and is)... less than stable. Probably not healthy. Definitely troubled. Neither of them can remember much of their relationship from how many times they've used the memory gun on eachother. Y'know, your normal average lover's quarrels and what not.

As for the marriage, they are illegally tax-reasons married via a very strange night in Las Vegas (à la the Goldie wedding) circa 2011. They didn't bother with wedding bands (why would they get more rings when they already have ones? although they don't ever wear them...), it was a pretty blurry night but they still remember the date.

(Mostly because if one of them didn't, the other would try to kill them. And has tried already.)

Uhh however I am very open to any deviation from this or ideas that might make more sense and are rather more in character for the two.

I hope that answered your inquiry

Can I see scars for all da boys?

So sorry it took me a while to answer! You're ask motivated me to draw scar maps for all my Bois, so thank you XD

Recalled Boys question: What would *Wind* say was his dumbest moment, if asked?

[windvexer]

Chicken, what do you think about the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram?

I'm seeing some opinions that you have to know and practice if you want to learn magic and idk

Short answer, no.

If you want to be some kind of Golden Dawn wizard then yes, I have heard for them it is very important. However I would certainly recommend reaching out to someone involved in that community for more information.

Saying you have to know and practice LBRP to do magic, like magic in general is like saying you have to go to an Evangelical Bible study every week before you can learn to make pop culture pokemon thoughtforms. It's a non sequitur; it just doesn't follow.

I could say that in order for members of the Order of the Golden Dawn to learn magic, first they have to sign a blood compact with the Green Man and receive a fairy familiar, but quite frankly I do not think they would give a fuck. I imagine they would politely show me to the street and then put up a no solicitor's sign.

Similarly, you are free to discard the notion of the LBRP if it does not suit you. Just because those guys in that group find it to be important, does not mean it's automatically relevant to anyone else.
