Yk I keep circling the issue of like how Armand gets talked about in the fandom because he does do some bad shit but at the end of the day nobody has to put a fucking disclaimer on their Lestat posts do they so I'm pretty confident in saying its just fucking racism. Every time anyone mentions Armand in the broader context of the whole show they have to do an aside about how hes an irredeemable monster who we are only discussing in the context of fiction but everyones favorite mediocre white guy doesnt need a disclaimer because everyone just magically understands that this is the choose your favorite war criminal show when the war criminal is blonde.

Sat politely ankles crossed hands folded please say you have more thoughts about the DC deweys. Lazarus pit cold-eyed stare pristine and bloodthirsty anyway I would love to hear any further thoughts if you have the time + energy + motivation

how i imagine you waiting for me to re-read the resurrection of ra’s al-ghul and hush vol. 1+2:

ALRIGHT. in no particular order, thoughts about the dc deweys

connor fits very well into the mold of a talia al-ghul for me; chip on his shoulder, femme fatale, deadly and precise. he’s not the loudest but he’s got a dry wit that’ll cut you!

“why is connor an al-ghul at all and not batman” well first of all he’s already got the water connection, i’m gonna go dip him into the lake a couple hours north of the pas to make him incredibly long-lived, rejuvenated and beautiful

second of all i want him to be a questionable villain/antihero because he looks evil in those pictures but like beautiful evil. you see him at a multi-million dollar soirée and he’s bored of being there wearing his “heritage” beads and jewels he originally had from a thousand years ago. he and his assassins are only here to murder the head of state who’s planning to lay a pipeline through ancestral grounds

rip brandon duhaime i simply cannot imagine you as any kind of batman. lacks the gravitas, too much of a yapper, loves his wife too much. i curse thee to be green arrow if you’re in this narrative at all

assuming connor stays with toronto, would LOVE to think about toronto as one of the sites of the lazarus pit for many reasons

(a brief aside here to say that for me personally this is interesting if connor goes to winnipeg because i think they suit him better, he’s a manitoba boy, but re: the chip on his shoulder, he’s NOT a manitoba boy. he’s from the pas and very proud of it)

a) the amount of ‘toronto is the center of the universe’ hockey creation myths i can play with & birth/rebirth/reincarnation. if you WANT to feel unhinged trying to blend hockey and comics is an ice rink not just a pool of water?

b) mr. cathal kelly i love your works!!! toronto eats its young!!! thinking about this very literally in the sense of the resurrection arc where players come to toronto and are sacrificed, give up their body, their skill, in service of the demon’s head, and lose themselves.

c) we see echos of the same narratives and styles over and over again—if i can hop over to the flyers for a second, there is of course the curse of the *8s (18 richards, 28 claude, 48 danny b, 68 nolan, 88 lindros) but ALSO the danny brière -> tk -> morgan frost celly chain. every generation a resurrection, emerging clean and new from the pit

can you just briefly hold my hand and imagine wayne gretzky as an evil ra’s al-ghul wanting to possess a new body. gretzky i’m sorry to malign you and i know you never played in toronto but you are the best player in my head to fit the idea, i’m open to other suggestions

coming BACK to green arrow dewey (i did not re-watch arrow or re-read those comics sorry) connor could also be black canary, who takes a brief dip into the lazarus pit (toronto) before getting married to oliver. i do like that narrative but because we were talking about pristine and cold-blooded i figured connor dewar head of the league of assassins was more what you were after

now that i’ve gotten through world building… choose your own adventure narratives?

hockey-ish au: connor chosen as a host for the Next One. i think the lineage of the great one -> next one -> next next one -> next one up of gretzky -> crosby -> mcdavid -> bedard is taken, BUT i can imagine that the league of old boys all have the same intentions. connor gets sent to toronto unknowingly being prepped to get body-snatched by ???? and brandon duhaime of course accidentally stumbles on the plot and they have to fight to stop it

connor assassinating people :) snapshot of the head of the league of assassins delegating which major world events they’re going to change today. would love his shark face from the gifset to have blood spattered across it, ideally.

version 1 as head of the league of assassins: brandon is one of his assassins, big strong bodyguard type. devoted to him, would lay down his life, perfectly designed for connor (lady shiva/cassandra cain-ish). connor orders for something to be done and brandon does it there for him then gently wipes the blood off his face and apologizes for being careless and getting him messy.

version 2 as head of the league of assassins: an actual plot where connor aims to assassinate SOMEONE but brandon gets in the way. they meet at odds as their respective roles (hero, leader of a crime syndicate) but are magnetically drawn together as their alter egos. eventually brandon puts together the pieces of the Big Evil and manages to (legally!-ish as much as vigilante-ism can be legal) take it down and the ending panels show a tentative friendship and recognition of potential shared goals

also, jaromir jágr is immortal. don’t know if this is relevant OR related but he is. personal hot spring lazarus pit?

um. thanks for coming to my 1.5k ted talk (including tags). what a way to moritz seider lore drop that i DID grow up a comic book nerd, lmao. thank you so much for enabling me <3 i'll be here all week thinking about which teams would get what rings in a blackest night au

A very gentle warning that this fic has a bittersweet ending. All of the main folks are safe and together and okay, but it is still a little bittersweet.

Also I should really start tagging these all as stone mirror AU. It doesn't hurt to have read the other fics in the series to pick up the references but I do a lot of possibly unnecessary recapping regardless.

Sorry for the delay again. It's been a really hard week. To anyone struggling, please be extra gentle with yourselves, okay? I know I am and I'm doing my best too.

I'm so happy you're here.

Progress is being made 😌

I was watching black mirror the other day

and if you don't know I'll give you a plot synopsis of this episode.

it's called "Be Right Back"

and it's about this woman Martha who's boyfriend/fiancé dies in a car accident and this woman at the funeral keeps preaching about this app in beta that allows you to talk with your dead loved ones. Martha screams at the woman and is still actively grieving.

later a few months down her mother signs her up for the app and she reluctantly tries it, she's confused but she actually really likes the ai chatbot boyfriend/fiancé.

she starts getting healthier and going out more, and learns she's pregnant with dead boyfriend/fiancé's kid but with the help of ai chat bot boyfriend/fiancé she's taking it pretty well.

eventually there's this upgrade where she can put her ai boyfriend/fiancé in a robot body and she shells out and does it.

it looks exactly like him and she is happy for a while.

but ai boyfriend/fiancé robot is just not dead boyfriend/fiancé and she has a mental breakdown and tries to make ai boyfriend/fiancé robot jump off a cliff. the robot doesn't and they both scream and cry.

flash forward like 8-10 years, and the kid is 8-10 and looks extremely happy, it's her birthday and she asks to take a piece of cake up for her dad. Martha agrees and helps her up into the attic where robodad lives, the kid is super happy and is playing and joking with her robodad and eating a extra slice of cake. martha stares at the audience with a blank face and the episode ends.

so basically that's what happened, but like... what was the bad thing that happened??? no genuinely I have been flipping it over in my mind, and in reality what happened was a messy robot divorce.

they didn't touch on actually anything predatory about ai chatbot dead loved ones, they didn't make any parallels with scammer mediums and psychics, they didn't even like touch on the fact the ai chat bot loved one boyfriend/fiancé was a subscription service.

like what they said was "all ai chat bots? BAD. all robots? BAD." and didn't even critique anything meaningful.

in all honesty this was actually a great ending? this family is loving and kinda weird, but the kid is beyond happy and healthy, Martha has a job, and robodad gets to see his kid on the weekend.

what on earth is bad about that? genuinely there is not a single downside or bad thing here, it was a messy robot divorce that's what happened and like despite that? they have a loving family!

like this is such a non-issue I can't even believe I had a sense of dread when watching it, like "upload (2020)" does actually a better critique of the whole robot/ai loved ones thing.

hell other shows and movies from before this do a better job! like I've seen literally a play/ballet about the same fucking thing! it did a better job than black mirror!

like this is such a bland, stupid critique on robots and ai loved ones. like genuinely the worst take I've seen, the whole episode was more of a sad story of grief and loss then critical analysis on the state of ai loved ones/robots.

like fuck, it's just snobby pretentious not even analysis on these issues! hell I would have focused more on the pay to play aspect of it all like IN REAL LIFE than just hand waving away the actually important parts of the conversation!!!!

like it's such a disappointing and anti-tech and anti-mental illness look at it all, like guess what we saw in the episode?

Martha actually get better and didn't neglect herself and was able to take care of herself and child and live a happy life!

she would still have been depressed and suicidal without ai boyfriend/fiancé, and she wouldn't have been able to care for her kid as well as if she was mostly happier and healthier in the current time line.

like this episode is more of a PRO-tech/ai episode then most black mirror ones!

like everything talked about in that episode "Upload (2020)" does x10 better, even though it came out many years later. it does a hugely better job at handling all these topics in an interesting and thought provoking way.

I don't know I just think this episode is a trash analysis on ai/robot loved ones, and they should have focused more on the predatory aspects of having to pay to see your loved ones and the whole subscription model parts. like such a missed opportunity!

the episode gets a 6.7/10 could have been so much better, yet they just didn't make any meaningful analysis about anything.
