#but the implications

Hey that piece on top of the mantle in Meta Knights room looks familiar I wonder where I have seen it before…

Ah.

ok, I saw descriptions of the new boss materials and CHILDE IS UTHER DOUL

[grapejuicegay]

palm's mom warning him that the tattoo will stay with him forever, even if he gets rid of it and still giving it to him so really it now represents two people he has just lost, with this tattoo of a person who left him also acting as a reminder of someone who gave their life up for him and how can he really get rid of that so he really is stuck with the reminder of neung with himself forever too

fun fact my homies

the imperial measurement system survived the Collapse! Despite the game using metric with distances and also with the funny fish, in lore the imperial system does get used. here is example

OK HEAR ME OUT einstein is actually loosing fluff ?? i thought at first it was plain inconsistency, let's be honest her hair is painful to draw. but after looking closely i noticed that in the few panels showing her younger, she actually has her hair drawn very similar to the VN ? they are messier and less slicked back ? like the stigmas arts (the band ones), the AE band fic poster, that one panel about space race etc,,, i actually made a scale comparison, her hair gets less messy with years aaa

so i decided to take this panel + the ae vn art that the outfits in this panel were based on, and imo i think the hair is still kinda inconsistent (but then again the vn art is rlly inconsistent with the rest of honkaiverse, i did a comparison too and the only one in the lab 42 trio who was accurate to the game was joyce)

even in the vn her hair seems to be really inconsistent (first actually seems a lot closer to her in the mangas

theres also the issue with her hairclip - her vn design has a hairclip with a little e on is, her game model has the clip but no e, her game chibi of the same exact design has the e, and she just doesnt have the clip at all in the manga

stigmas do have the clip with the e, and theyre a lot closer to the vn - probably because the vn + stigmas are the oldest designs of her, vn came out in 2017 according to the wiki

ae band seems to be closer to the game model! especially the tufts of straight hair over the left side of her face

so tl;dr einstein's hair is a mystery and may never be solved, along with whatever the hell is going on with welt joyce and karl gustav

......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all

Dick Grayson's unmatched success as a child vigilante makes a lot more sense when you remember the Court of Owls was a thing and that Dick was meant to be the next Grey Son.

There is no way that someone at Haly's Circus wasn't there keeping an eye on him while he grew up. A future weapon needs to be trained and monitored after all, and a circus, a place where weird skills are completely normal, is actually a great place to secretly train a child.

You know, just some knife tricks that translated really well into actual fighting. How to get out of restraints and pick locks while under a time limit. Death defying acrobatic stunts that coincidentally do wonders for parkouring. That sort of thing. Nothing that seems out of place for a boy growing up around circus performers to learn, but would literally any where else.

I mean, while I fully believe that most kids would want to kill the man responsible for their parents deaths, Dick was weirdly prepared to go through it. He tracked down Zucco with way more ease than any normal child should have too. He became the first child vigilante, for goodness sake. The first Robin! He only started getting formal training after he basically forced Bruce into it!

Bruce himself has no idea that this kind of competency in a child is unusual, considering he was much too blinded by the similarities between his and Dick's tragic orphanhoods.

Alfred is in a similar boat because he’s desensitized to weird children after he somehow managed to successfully raise Bruce 'The Batman' Wayne, so he doesn't clock the hyper-competency as abnormal either.

By the time the other batkids start popping up (Jason 'The Audacity' Todd, borderline-street rat with no fear) (Tim 'the greatest stalker in Gotham history' Drake, child genius, also bullied his way into becoming Robin) (Barbara 'raised by the only uncorrupt cop in gotham' Gordon) (Stephanie 'daddy issues and spite' Brown) (Duke 'Pretends he's the normal one and people believe him' Thomas) it's too late.

It would also explain how Dick got along so well with Damian out of all of them. Similar childhood with different approaches and all that. On some subconscious level, Dick recognises and resonates with the murderous ten year old assassin with strong familial ties to a secret elite assassin organization.

It isn't until after the whole Court of Owls and Grey Son reveal that suddenly Dick realises a whole lot of things about his childhood that suddenly make a lot more sense.

CHAOS?

[redstonedust]

character concept: guy who is cursed to be immortal but, like, in the same way the cast of the simpsons are. you are 30 years old. you were born 30 years ago. you have always been born 30 years ago. as time marches forwards your memories shift to match the generation you are now part of. you used to be old enough to remember world war ii but now you are not. you may have had friends in the 80s but now you dont. does this make sense.

just had a “walking in on your parents” kind of moment and my parents aren’t even here

"Do you miss the time when you used to do no harm?"

Old habits.

Merc behaviour is based on a nice little comment @up-in-flames-writing left on one of my comics :)

Rambling and more silly drawings below.

Loosely based on the Solemn Vow's public blurb:

Art lovers will cherish the bust of Hippocrates, commemorating a time when the Medic still thought doing no harm was a good idea.

I am absolutely convinced that Medic carries dextrose drops with him. German pharmacies throw these after you when you buy anything at all. I went to check if this one specific brand I know of had been around since the 60s and 70s and yes, it was.

Small acts of kindness I can see Medic doing is giving everyone one of these if they are tired. I'm talking about Engineer mostly.

Or they snack on them when solving practical problems together, like during the teleporter bread tumor incident.

too many conspiracy theories about oil in gaza and not enough practical understanding of the fact that bibi netanyahu and his cronies have extreme personal reason to keep this war going as long as possible and at any level of civilian cost because the moment it's over he'll no longer be a wartime prime minister and will have to face the repercussions for being a massive reason why the october 7 attacks ended up with a body count as high was it was

goofies

[perlukafarinn]

seven years later i am still not over the fact that dean killed himself because cas was dead and cas never even found out

and to make it even worse, it happened the same episode cas came back to life. dean killing himself to join cas in death, not knowing that cas is actually alive? literally the plot of romeo and juliet aka the most famous love story of all time. and this was never fucking resolved

truly the show of all time (derogatory)
