#because their dynamic is really fun

[ishouldsleepbut]

one thing that i liked about the fourth episode was the little scene at the beginning when they're all sleeping. because annabeth and percy have this long, serious talk about annabeth's family and how the gods work. and then grover just wakes up in the middle of it and starts bickering with annabeth about sleep and like— we got an annabeth and grover moment. i didn't realize how much i needed that.

Meet the Errand Boy.

Team Fortress 2 × Gravity Falls crossover AU because the two canon timelines sorta match, yipeee!!!

------

1971 (2 years after being kicked out at 1969)- Recently turned 19 and short on money, Stanley Pines gets hired by The Administrator as MANN.CO's errand boy alongside Miss Pauling (since the latter was falling behind on her work due to her excessive overworking).

He is saddled with various grunt work such as accompanying Miss Pauling to her arrands of burying bodies, killing and eliminating witnesses; delivering supplies and packages to the mercenary teams; and occasionally even gets to replace some of them for a few battles if they happen to be unavailable on short notice!

i feel like poolverine easily could’ve been one of those “they’re flirty but it’s mostly unserious” situations, and for most of the movie yeah they were extremely gay, but wade’s been like that with other guys and it was never treated as a serious type of relationship before. they’re willing to die for each other, but even then the romantic aspect of their relationship could be glossed over because it’s a superhero movie, that’s just what they do, and they’re working together to save a whole timeline—it’s not just about them. but then the movie doesn’t end with them saving the day and moving on. i think this’s really the part that sells poolverine as a genuine relationship to me… logan’s leaving, and wade calls for him. he can’t stand to let him go. then he introduces him to his family, and logan stays. he doesn’t really need to stay, but they’ve both decided they’re better off with one another than without

i am once again thinking about Percy and Annabeth and their respective relationships with their step-parents, particularly how the other views the other's dynamic with their step-parents.

Because there's a really interesting subtle thing that we see which is when Annabeth talks about her step-mom to Percy, Percy's assumption is that Annabeth's step-mom is like Gabe. He just presumes that because that's what's familiar with him and based on his own experiences he assumes their situations are similar.

But then when Percy actually meets Annabeth's step-mom (and her dad) he realizes their situations aren't at all the same. He was expecting another Gabe, but instead he just found a genuinely caring family that was just struggling to find their footing with one another.

The interesting thing is that this implies an inverse - especially with what we know about how Percy and Annabeth describe their experiences. Percy doesn't really talk about Gabe ever. To anyone. Grover knows the whole picture there but he's basically the only one of Percy's friends who does. As far as we know, unless Grover told her at some point, Annabeth doesn't know about Gabe. She knows he was a jerk, but Percy out loud doesn't ever really get into details about it. She knows they didn't get along and eventually Gabe disappeared and Percy basically never spoke of it again. Presumably, Annabeth thinks Percy's dynamic with Gabe was like her dynamic with her step-mom, like how Percy had thought their situations were the same. Especially given we know Percy assumed their situations were the same and likely spoke about it as such if it ever came up.

Like. That's such an interesting tiny aspect of their dynamic that never gets touched upon. Annabeth likely doesn't know about this very core traumatic experience Percy endured before they met because she's operating under the assumption that their family just was a little rocky like hers was.

Be honest, what are your thoughts on appledash? Do you hate it or its more of not a big deal

Not a big deal to me. I like it, I see all the appeals, I just personally like Rarijack more.

I understand that Bumblebee never wanted to be a prime, but have you considered:

That makes it better

Man “Battle Nexus: New York” was a great episode but I do have one major gripe with it.

Like. Raph being paired up with Ghostbear? Makes sense. Works great. Works amazing, even.

Mikey being paired up with Meatsweats? Yeah that checks out!!

Donnie getting…Hypno…? I mean. I guess Donnie doesn’t like magic so it kindaaa works but Kendra would have been a much better choice to me personally. Maybe Big Mama didn’t wanna include a human or something…

And Leo getting…uh…one of the Sando Brothers???? Of all villains? Nah let’s be real, his main villain is more Big Mama herself (or Leo could be considered his own worst enemy lmao-). Hell Hypno would have probably worked better here considering their shared love for magic tricks and stuff, but Carl Sando????

So there was going to be a lot more but consider this a part 1? For OC Lore Drops.

(none of this was drawn today but because it was storming earlier and I got some rest, I feel like I really want to knock out commission work and do not have time to draw something to post today without messing that rhythm up.)

Also a little bit more: Simeon is a romance novel writer and his hobby is people-watching. His ability to sense the supernatural entities is so exciting to the hellhound who just adores /trying/ to get the jump on him but always ends up 'sniffed out' before she can.

Something Extraordinary

historical platonic-romcom

an aromantic woman tired of feeling unworthy when the people closest to her leave her behind for romance, and a gay man in unrequited love who is planning on giving up and marrying a woman in misery and drunkenness

she kidnaps him the day before the marriage to stop him ruining his life, suggesting that they get platonically married instead - and on the ridiculous journey to scotland to elope, they have to convince each other if it’s what is best for them, and what they want out of life/love/and friendship

Do you know any good crossovers with Duke or any of the We Are Robin cast in them? I've been trying to branch out of my bat niche and the WAR kids are some of my favorites so far, so I think they'd be a good way to hook me into something.

YOU HAVE GOOD TASTE I looove the WAR kids so bad. Besides Duke they sadly haven't been in much besides We Are Robin, but Duke at least has some! Some Duke crossovers you could read:

DC Power Company: Recharged: This is a follow up to DC Rise of the Power Company, but context is not too necessary and Duke interacts directly with non-Bat heroes here! This issue features Vixen, Black Lightning, Josiah Power, and Jace Fox and is hopefully setting up for a later ongoing!

Dark Days: The Forge / The Casting: Both Dark Days one-shots are bat-centric, but they feature other characters including Hal Jordan, Hawkman, and Aquaman! Duke and Hal have some fun interactions here. If I'm honest I didn't really enjoy these issues, but they're short + feature lots of Duke!

DC Power 2024 / DC Rise of the Power Company: These are both really great anthologies that feature a wide variety of Black heroes including Ace West, Anissa & Jennifer Pierce, Mr. Terrific, Black Manta in the former and Cyborg, Jo Mullein (who appears in both), Jace again, and Malik White in the latter! Duke only appears in 1 story of each and only interacts with bat characters so these aren't the best recs for what you're looking for, but I do think they're great short intros to each character!

Batman & The Outsiders (2019): this is definitely mainly a bat book, but the team includes Black Lightning and Katana! Great way to dip your toes into these characters!

You can also read The Unexpected where Duke plays a role in #4 (he has a fun entrance!). Idk if you want to read the whole thing for just one issue of Duke but you could also just read this issue and be a little confused. Read Dark Days first though because it spins off from that. Yeah there's isn't a lot unfortunately, but I hope you find a character you like from one of these!!

Finally getting back into artposting! This time with my OC Noah and @king-of-vertigo's guy Felix! (I've posted Noah lots before he's so fun for me to draw)

They are besties your honour.
