Luthor's Cricket part 5

Previous. Masterpost

Lex was able to distract the teen with a different documentary in the living room of his Penthouse. Said teen, however, made it loudly known that some of the information they were using was false, stupid, and downright biased. Granted, Lex was not paying attention when selecting the first documentary on the list. Apparently, it was a supernatural one called ‘All but Paranormal’ or something of the like. From the shouting, Lex could gather that they were able to interview Zatanna and Dr. Fate, Phantom took great exception to whatever Dr. Fate had to say about Ghost, Demons, and other supernatural creatures. Lex did bark a laugh at Phantom's remark of “Fate's biased view is just as blatant as that glaring beacon of a head!” and “If Fate is a Doctor, then I fear for the intellectual competency of the rest of the world! This means you too, Mr. Luthor!” Lex simply ignored the last part.

Oddly enough, even with the obnoxious commentary from Phantom and the absolute frustration of his magically inclined contacts ignoring him, it was not as tiring as he thought it would be.

“Phantom.” Lex called as he left his office. 

 “Yes, Boss?” Phantom paused the TV and turned to him with a small lopsided smile.

“Do you eat?” Lex asked. 

Phantom clearly did not expect the question with how his face displayed shock and confusion. “Uh, ya. I can eat human food. It's not needed, but it's nice to have. Why?”

“It is about time for dinner, I am thinking Foie Gras-” 

“Do all rich people eat such pretentious sounding food? Seriously, what is wrong with just burgers, burritos, and mac n’ cheese?” Phantom said with derision.

“Some people like to experience the finer things in life-” 

“When was the last time you enjoyed a “finer” thing that wasn't the direct cause of flaunting your power?” Phantom asked seriously. “Just one time.”

Lex…. He found himself at a loss. When Was the last time he actually enjoyed food for its taste alone. Most food prepared at the Galas were pretty cardboard at best. The high-end restaurants were better quality, but Lex only went to those as a power display, and even then, it was for a business deal or a ‘relaxed’ meeting of sorts. Even when he is home alone, he would order high value items so the staff wouldn't spread gossip about his ‘actual’ tates to the papers. The cooks he employed were fantastic at their jobs, the food was always flavorful and filling. 

But….

Probably the last time he actually enjoyed a meal was when his younger sister visited. She brought with her some greasy, cheesy mess of a burger wrapped in foil from a truck from the park across the street. She had laughed at his disgusted face and said “If it was good enough for Bruce Wayne and his kid to stand in line for, it's good enough for us!” 

That was about eight years ago.

After that meal, they had fought, and she stormed out. She has only contacted him through email for Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas. 

Lex ordered pizza from his cooks that night.

I wonder if I can teach my IG algorithm to show me more carcar crumbs… 🤔 via

I think alotta ppl forget that dennis canonically is the best at drawing of the gang nd just focus on charlie being the artist of the gang, nd idk maybe i just wanted to slip that into ur mind

Like i have this funny scenario in my head where charlie challenges dennis to a drawing competition nd dennis draws a near realistic portrait of charlie while charlie vaguely scribbles out dennis but the rest of the gang is just like 'omg charlie i didnt know u cud draw'

art is subjective

Assuming that crickets are innocent and have souls, then she finds them very tasty.

And I am glad that you are enjoying the Alphys content! I'm happy to be able to share her while I'm still working on new art!

i just want to say if bad genuinely believes dream is getting unfairly jumped by the internet, he'd defend him 🚶‍♂️ he did it even during purgatory, he's done it before for a6d, despite any hate he'd get. idk why dream stans are still crying about dadboyhalo cause his silence DOES speak volumes

[venomous-qwille]

Narratively speaking, would you consider Cricket to be Sunspot's "Jiminy" in a way? I may be reaching, but it feels as if he gets so distant because Cricket is making him think about things he has never questioned before. As if they are awakening something in him. Cricket may not be an exact moral guide, stumbling through life trying to figure it out themself, but sometimes it only takes sharing ones thoughts that can spur growth in another.

I'd say that this is what all the characters will eventually do for all the characters, cricket is simply the 'inciting incident' that upsets the status quo enough that they all have to talk to eachother. One of the core things I was thinking about when I was making the characters was about how they could challenge and learn from the rest of the cast!

Definitely spot has a lot to learn from cricket and what they experience with cricket, but that is something cricket will do for all the bots! I would say Spot's real foil will be Sombra, who will act as both the angel and devil on his shoulder when it comes to how he feels about his own freedom and personhood!

Luthor's Cricket part 6

Previous. Masterpost

Lex woke up to the sounds of slamming cabinets. He found Phantom rummaging through his kitchen, doors and drawers in varying degrees of open, and bags of coffee and tea were scattered on the countertops.

“What are you doing?”

“How is it that a man as rich as you only has milk, coffee, and tea in the entire kitchen?! Do you not snack? Or make any food at all?” Phantom whined.

“No, I simply order it from the cooks downstairs and they bring it up.” Lex sighed. “I thought you didn't have to eat? Why are you ravinging the kitchen like a starved raccoon?”

Phantom snorted. “You gave a mouse a cookie.”

“More like fed a Gremlin after midnight it seems.” Lex muttered as Phantom started scavenging again. “STOP THAT!” He shouted as Phantom launched a toaster that had not been taken out of its box across the room.

Lex sent an order for an assortment of muffins to be brought up.

The rest of the morning was easy chatter, Lex found out through a very intense rant over food that Phantom despises toast, hotdogs, and Thanksgiving turkeys. He prefers energy drinks, burgers, and apple pie with cheese on top. The little heathen.

Their argument over the pie was cut short by Mercy over the intercom.

“Mr. Luthor, the reporter's are here. Should I direct them to meeting room 5?”

Lex walked over to the same panel in the living room wall and responded. “Yes, Mercy. I will be down in a moment.”

“Where is your please and thank you?” Phantom admonished.

Lex gave the child a glare.

TWST OC INTRODUCTION - TCOAV

Joel Bullion - Makings of Greatness

Name: Joel Bullion

Nicknames: Buzzbait, Thistle

Gender: Male

Pronouns: He/they

Sexuality: Aromantic Asexual

Birthday: November 30 (Sagittarius)

Age: 39 in AU 37 in canon

Height: 6'2 or 188cm

Voice Claim(s): Jellzybelle

Twisted from: John Silver from Treasure Planet.

Unique Magic: "Rattle the Stars" Summons exactly that in the palm of Joel's robotic hand: a star. However, this is not just any star, this star's life flashes before your eyes, resulting in a controlled supernova. It creates a burning hot flash bang, with tremors forming cracks in the ground depending on the magnitude of the star itself. The explosion knocks enemies away from Joel. The size of the star dictates how much magic they will use, as well as how much blot he will accumulate. He is unsure what the maximum size of a star he can create is, but he does know that he has gotten dangerously close to overblotting while trying. In his current state, the blast is not deadly and primarily works to stun opponents or, at most, render them unconscious.

Grade: Teaches Freshman, Sophomores, and Juniors

Class: Teaches Culinary Crucible, Astrology, and Tech. Occasionally aids with Physical Education.

Hobbies: Treasure hunting, finding constellations, hiking, traveling, spelunking, deadlifting, cooking.

Likes: Pernil, old school tech, adventure novels, hard cash, or anything he can sell for gold really, pranking Ezra and Crowley, telescopes, planetary science, zodiac signs.

Dislikes: Grading (this man should not be a teacher), any dish with fish in it, sticklers, staying still, overt formality, the cold, humorless individuals.

Fears: Immobility, optometric illnesses, not amounting to anything, not living his life to the fullest, birds.

Summary: "Why does he even teach?" is a question that crosses the mind of almost every NRC student in one of Joel's classes. He's shameless, sarcastic, and finds entertainment in messing with students and staff alike. Teaching is only a side job for him, his real passions lie elsewhere. Nonetheless, he is highly skilled in a variety of subjects, making him indispensable.

He abuses that privilege, of course, taking the time to have as much fun as he can in what he calls a boring dump of a school and make sure everyone around him suffers for it. Though this usually just amounts to light teasing and pranks. They do not behave like an educator or mentor. He does not typically enjoy interacting with most of his students in a serious manner, and the ones they do enjoy talking with are treated more like casual, distant friends.

With the responsibility of teaching so many subjects heavy on their shoulders, he does make plenty of time to shrug it off to work on his true dream: getting as rich as possible. Now, now, there are plenty of figures at NRC who want that, yeah? But Joel wants the lottery. He wants to struggle, look high and low, and come out above everyone with something ancient, shiny, and, hopefully, covered in expensive jewels. Over everything and everyone, they enjoy the hunt of it. To the point where he values it above people and relationships. Hell, they'd fly to the moon to get it if they had to.

Outfit Inspiration

Author's Notes: JOEL. Ahhh Joel. I'll admit, this was harder to write compared to the others! Everyone else's development, personality, struggles, etc. came very naturally to me, while, with joel, I really had to sit and brainstorm for awhile. Though, I can now say that he has grown on me a lot, and I plan on giving him more of a role in TCOAV like Ezra! I have lots of plans for him! Old ass man <33 (affectionate, /j) this will probably be the last new TCOAV oc for a while! But just know, there will be more >:)
