I really see Tim and Damian's relationship as very much like Apollo and Hermes' (see: cattle robbery, bribery, complaining to Dad but ultimately Dad just shrugs and goes, sorry kids you gotta get along).

[acid-ixx]

if you guys are interested, send in an ask or comment!

will anybody be willing to hear out neglected child reader who was another one of zeus's bastard children. you're out there chasing for your stepmother (hera's attention), whilst zeus just lets you run around without his care, clearly too wrapped up in his affairs. your other siblings aren't as good to you, too, thinking another half-deity isn't worth their time—

so you'd give up, pretty much choosing to bestow the mortal world with your presence instead; because if you can't be loved by your own family, then let yourself be worshipped by passionate mortals instead.

how about romancing telemachus? what if you both learn what it's like navigating through his godly favor with athena, and you with your own powers? what if you have odysseus and penelope be the actual parent-figures you always wanted? their overprotectiveness skyrockets every time you propose to being elsewhere in ithaca, to the point you forget that it's you who has the godly powers to oppose, but how could you when a darker side of them appears every time you allow yourself to be disrespected within their palace?

how about in another place? what are you to many of the great warriors, if not for a forgotten, yet mysterious and whimsical deity? why is your name muttered in all the regions? surely, with just how much you deny your god-like origins, but still manage to capture the hearts of hundreds of suitors, you'd gain quite the infamous name despite your closed-off attitude.

imagine enough attention was garnered on your presence, that that's what was needed for them to finally notice you? but you're not quite the same child who used to pull on their robes, or look at them as brightly as the sun— no, now you deny them of any of your love. your mother, hera, finally sees you and urges you to return to olympus away from the prying eyes of many suitors and back into the domain of safety. she calls you her baby, fuzzing over you even when you openly and spitefully try to rip her hands away from fixing your 'messy' robes. zeus isn't any better, now he calls you sweet names and pretend like he hadn't actively bashed on you for your weakness back when you were begging on his throne for just a sliver of attention? he wants you to sit in between his throne and hera's? you're significantly smaller than him, he's gigantic in nature, and it doesn't help that he treats you like you could be easily squashed by him (which is every damn right possible, and it's intimidating and makes you want to cry).

and there's the issue with the others, too. so many of them used to deny you in favor of focusing on their own domains. now apollo wants to carry you off in one of his chariots to ride off the skies with him while he plays his lyre to you? artemis wants to teach you the way of the hunt under the dark, gloomy skies you used to wish under for a moment of their time? aphrodite used to spitefully shut you out of her own doors, but now she invites you in her room to gossip and play pretend while she coos and braids your hair?

and all the other gods, now wanting to take you away from the underserving - as they say it - mortal realm? that the people who built sculptures of you, who held you more lovingly more than those you grew up with, aren't worthy of your divine presence?

what a joy to be a being looming between the lines of mortal and divine, right?

a/n: this concept is better off and more coherent in my head i swear. now i don't often diverge from my main fandom, but the similarities between this and the yan! batfam is quite hilarious to me that ngl i want to make a crossover of it. and yes, this is me coping with the stress of having to deal with the sudden influx of hate in the yan! dc community, so i'm taking a short break from it to focus on this.

There Is No Safe Word (Part 2 of 10)

(Source) (Part 1) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7) (Part 8) (Part 9) (Part 10) (Prewarning)

Editor’s note: This story contains content that readers may find disturbing, including graphic allegations of sexual assault & child abuse.

In The Sandman, the DC comic-book series that ran from 1989 to 1996 and made Gaiman famous, he tells a story about a writer named Richard Madoc. After Madoc’s first book proves a success, he sits down to write his second and finds that he can’t come up with a single decent idea. This difficulty recedes after he accepts an unusual gift from an older author: a naked woman, of a kind, who has been kept locked in a room in his house for 60 years. She is Calliope, the youngest of the Nine Muses. Madoc rapes her, again and again, and his career blossoms in the most extraordinary way. A stylish young beauty tells him how much she loved his characterization of a strong female character, prompting him to remark, “Actually, I do tend to regard myself as a feminist writer.” His downfall comes only when the titular hero, the Sandman, also known as the Prince of Stories, frees Calliope from bondage. A being of boundless charisma and creativity, the Sandman rules the Dreaming, the realm we visit in our sleep, where “stories are spun.” Older and more powerful than the most powerful gods, he can reward us with exquisite delights or punish us with unending nightmares, depending on what he feels we deserve. To punish the rapist, the Sandman floods Madoc’s mind with such a wild torrent of ideas that he’s powerless to write them down, let alone profit from them.

As allegations of Gaiman’s sexual misconduct emerged this past summer, some observers noticed Gaiman and Madoc have certain things in common. Like Madoc, Gaiman has called himself a feminist. Like Madoc, Gaiman has racked up major awards (for Gaiman, awards in science fiction and fantasy as well as dozens of prizes for contemporary novels, short stories, poetry, television, and film, helping make him, according to several sources, a millionaire many times over). And like Madoc, Gaiman has come to be seen as a figure who transcended, and transformed, the genres in which he wrote: first comics, then fantasy and children’s literature. But for most of his career, readers identified him not with the rapist, who shows up in a single issue, but with the Sandman, the inexhaustible fountain of story.

One of Gaiman’s greatest gifts as a story-teller was his voice, a warm and gentle instrument that he’d tuned through elocution lessons as a boy in East Grinstead, 30 miles south of London. In America, people mistakenly assumed he was an English gentleman. “He spoke very slowly, in a hypnotic way,” says one of his former students at the fantasy-writing workshop Clarion. He wrote that way, too, with rhythm and restraint, lulling you into a trance in the way that a bard might have done with a lyre. Another gift was his memory. He has “libraries full of books memorized,” one of his old friends tells me, noting that he could recall the page numbers of his favorite passages and recite them verbatim. His vast collection was eclectic enough to encompass both a box of comics (Spider-Man, Silver Surfer) from his boyhood and the works of Oscar Wilde he received as a gift for his bar mitzvah. For The Sandman, a forgotten DC property he had been hired to dust off and polish up, Gaiman gave the hero a makeover, replacing his green suit, fedora, and gas mask with the leather armor of an angsty goth, and surrounded him with characters drawn from the books he could pull off the shelves in his head, from timeless icons like Shakespeare and Lucifer to the obscure San Francisco eccentric Joshua Abraham Norton. Norman Mailer called it “a comic strip for intellectuals.”

Gaiman and the Sandman shared a penchant for dressing in black, a shock of unruly black hair, and an erotic power seldom possessed by authors of comic books and fantasy novels. A descendant of Polish Jewish immigrants, Gaiman had gotten his start in the ’80s as a journalist for hire in London covering Duran Duran, Lou Reed, and other brooding lords of rock, and in the world of comic conventions, he was the closest thing there was to that archetype. Women would turn up to his signings dressed in the elaborate Victorian-goth attire of his characters and beg him to sign their breasts or slip him key cards to their hotel rooms. One writer recounts running into Gaiman at a World Fantasy Convention in 2011. His assistant wasn’t around, and he was late to a reading. “I can’t get to it if I walk by myself,” he told her. As they made their way through the convention side by side, “the whole floor full of people tilted and slid toward him,” she says. “They wanted to be entwined with him in ways I was not prepared to defend him against.” A woman fell to her knees and wept.

People who flock to fantasy conventions and signings make up an “inherently vulnerable community,” one of Gaiman’s former friends, a fantasy writer, tells me. They “wrap themselves around a beloved text so it becomes their self-identity,” she says. They want to share their souls with the creators of these works. “And if you have morality around it, you say ‘no.’” It was an open secret in the late ’90s and early aughts among conventiongoers that Gaiman cheated on his first wife, Mary McGrath, a private midwestern Scientologist he’d married in his early 20s. But in my conversations with Gaiman’s old friends, collaborators, and peers, nearly all of them told me that they never imagined that Gaiman’s affairs could have been anything but enthusiastically consensual. As one prominent editor in the field puts it, “The one thing I hear again and again, largely from women, is ‘He was always nice to me. He was always a gentleman.’” The writer Kelly Link, who met Gaiman at a reading in 1997, recalls finding him charmingly goofy. “He was hapless in a way that was kind of exasperating,” she says, “but also made him seem very harmless.” Someone who had a sexual relationship with Gaiman in the aughts recalls him flipping through questions fans wrote on cards at a Q&A session. Once, a fan asked if she could be his “sex slave”: “He read it aloud and said, ���Well, no.’ He’d be very demure.”

But there were some who saw another side of the author. One woman, Brenda (a pseudonym), met Gaiman in the ’90s at a signing for The Sandman where she was working. On signing lines, Gaiman had a knack for connecting with each individual. He would ask questions, laugh, and assure them that their inability to form sentences was fine. After the Sandman signing, at a dinner attended by those who had worked the event, Gaiman sat next to Brenda. “Everyone wanted to be near him, but he was laser focused on me,” she says. A few years later, Brenda traveled to Chicago to attend the World Horror Convention, where Gaiman received the top prize for American Gods, the book that cemented him as a best-selling novelist. The night after the awards ceremony, she and Gaiman ended up in bed together. As soon as they began to hook up, the feeling that had drawn her to him — the magical spell of his interest in her individuality — vanished.“ He seemed to have a script,” she tells me. “He wanted me to call him ‘master’ immediately.” He demanded that she promise him her soul. “It was like he’d gone into this ritual that had nothing to do with me.”

Back to: Part 1, next: Part 3

[story-weavr]

Headcanon:

Like many fans, I’ve read some fics where DC characters get turned into animals.

In the ones I’ve read, Superman becomes a lion or canine. However, I read one Clex fic that compares Superman’s soul to that of a galactic space bird & I couldn’t help but think how fitting it was

I propose that Superman would turn into a species of bird native to Krypton.

He’d resemble a mix of Asian Phoenix, canon Nightwing bird, Bird of Paradise, peacock, luan, Kryptonian crystal bird, and eagle.

His plumage would be blues that would shimmer in light yet blend in the shadows.

He’d be tall with a long & graceful neck. Atop his head would be a few feathers sticking up like a subtle crown.

His talons and beak are sharp and would be deadly. Yet their beauty is reminiscent of a treasured sword.

His voice, even when used as a warning call, is melodious. If one were to get him to sing, it be comparable to Apollo playing the lyre.

The time he shines the most, however, is in flight.

Gracefully going through the air, a few long tail feathers trailing behind like a woman’s hair or a dress train. His huge size is not an obstacle as he cuts through the foliage of tree tops.

His beautiful feathers, that sparkle in such a way it looks like crystals, do not get in the way of forage and hunting.

Graceful yet deadly talons, stained either with juice of berries or animals depending on the omnivorous bird’s needs.

As he skims a body of water, either to play or clean himself during flight, it is beyond description.

He is grace & pride in motion.

A bird of paradise & prey.

Now imagine Lex Luthor having the nerve to cage said bird either in a literal cage or an indoor jungle garden.

[otherfloppiestcatto]

if your bg3 character had a quest title, what would it be, and how would they act as a companion? (Durges and Tavs!)

My Durge, Votum, would have his quest be called “Canary of the coal mine.” Coal mine being the cult of Bhaal, and Votum being the canary because he is able to quickly identify the full dangers of the cult, like how canaries are able to identify the dangers of the coal mine before anyone else. (And also he sing good)

And a little extent into him as a companion, to gain his approval, the one main thing Votum appreciates is having loyalty. So, he’ll dissaprove of betraying the grove, and generally dislikes if you don’t show some support to the companions true natures.

He also appreciates kindness when necessary, giving to those who have less, but are able to make fun of the people who are worse.

A few events he can have (might think of more)

Warning, spoilers for Durge stuff

Around the start of act 1, if you get at least 10 approval with him, he’ll approach you about his dark thoughts. If you don’t take him seriously, you lose a little bit of approval, but he doesn’t care as much because none of the others took him seriously either. If you do take him seriously, he’ll be surprised, and rant to you a bit about it, and it nets you approval. (+5)

When alfira arrives at camp, the two of them will get along great, and with your encouragement, will duet together, and will play a few songs before turning in for the night. If the player character is a bard, they will be invited to join in as well.

in the morning, the player is greeted by the gruesome surprise of alfira’s corpse, and Karlach (or another party member) questioning Votum. He says a boar got her, which most of the party gets convinced by, but if the player succeeds a dc 20 insight check (he has an expertise in persuasion) the player will recognize that he isn’t being truthful. If the player talks to Astarion, he will also imply that he has his doubts about Votum’s story.

At the tiefling party, Votum will be playing his lyre for a crowd. If the player talks to him after, he’ll explain that he wanted to play because Alfira isn’t able to anymore. If the player succeeds a dc 15 insight check, they will notice a sad glint in his eye. (Which can also be implied by him rubbing his eye after saying that.) And if he has enough approval with the player, he’ll ask them if they want to take a walk in the forest once everyone goes to sleep. This can either lead to a nsft scene, or if the player isn’t up for that, you’re given the option to just have a wholesome talk and maybe a cuddle. (Automatically goes to a wholesome talk minus the cuddle if playing as non-upgraded Karlach)

However, if he doesn’t have enough approval with the player, he’ll make a comment asking what you think of Astarion, and if the player chose to have Astarion’s scene, he will admit he’s slightly jealous.

Votums confession of love to the player is… something. He’ll wake the player up, saying that they are in immediate danger. If the player dismisses his worries, he will genuinely beg and plead for them to listen, tearing up a bit in the process. Votum will explain his situation, admitting to killing Alfira, and how he’ll be poessed into killing his favourite person - you. Then, he’ll faint from what is discerned as a skull-splitting headache. The player is then given a choice to either tie him up, or just go to sleep. Sleeping results in death, of course. If they tie him up, the player enters a scene similar to the one in the Durge campaign, except you’re on the side of the companion. His actions are (almost biting his tongue off, - trying to bite you, - growling.)

When the sun rises, the player is able to easily convince Votum to explain himself. He will, and admit that he wishes he could’ve explained his feelings for the player in a tamer scenario, and the player is given a choice to force him to leave, or allow him to stay. He will leave willingly. If you allow him to stay, you can say you either love him or don’t. If you do, he admits that he must’ve killed so many innocents, and you’d be better off to just kill him. But if you continue to support him, he’ll say he’ll try his hardest to be the person you see in him.

(An alternate scene if the player didn’t romance Astarion nor Votum, you’ll wake up to Astarion explaining that Votum almost killed him, and Votum giving the full story. They will be implied to be in a relationship if the player enters a relationship with a different character.)

small extra notes about romanced Votum

he’ll write a love song about the player, which after an event where he plays it to you, you’ll be able to make him play the melody of the song if you swap to his character.

Gortash gets a tiny bit jealous if you act really loving to Votum. If you’re a human, he’ll ask Votum if he has a type.

If you’re a gnome or a halfling, he’ll just occasionally pick you up sometimes. For literally no reason. Just to hold you. (He’s like 6’4)

He’ll willingly go up on the stage with Dribbles the clown

He’s a big people-pleaser, and thinks that if he argues against your wishes, you’ll throw him away.

does the thing that cats do when they love someone, and will occasionally slow blink at the player

Upon realizing the cult of bhaal may come after you, he’ll try to convince you to break up with him, as he’s extremely scared of losing the one person who let him let go of his past.

Zoruan and the Very Long 72 Hours

More yapping under the cut, spoilers for Act 2

I convinced Shadowheart to spare the Nightsong by passing the DC 30 check on the first try. I didn't have to make a save for Gale because we're besties and I had already talked him out of blowing himself up. (Now if only I could get the button to do so off his hotbar...) I didn't send any screenshots of the Myrkul fight to my phone but a Paladin with Divine Smite and Sentinel and Smite the Graceless is absolutely stacked against Myrkul and I wish I'd gotten a video of the curb-stomping. I'd been aiming for a Minthara run this whole time because I'm going for Gale with my Origin!Astarion run, and I was really nervous it wouldn't work out because I've been a very good person, but her conversation on Ketheric's throne can net you tons of points if you butter her up, and immediately afterwards she initiated her romance scene so it all worked out. (I gave Minthara the Performer feat so she can play her Spider Lyre bc I thought it would be a nice touch.) Zoruan has been mistrustful of the Dream Visitor from the get-go (the only reason they didn't kill them when the option to came up is because I googled if it was a good idea first lol) so them turning out to be a mindflayer was secretly so vindicating for them, even if they have to keep working with him. After he forced me to take the Astrally-Touched Tadpole I offered it to Minthara because she's the only one in my party who I've been feeding tadpoles to (Cull the Weak is incredible) and I thought she would like it, and she immediately gobbled it up. Not sure how I feel about the look, or how little time I had as her partner before this went down, but it does feed into the "immensely powerful paladin duo" thing I've got going on with them. I wasn't expecting to make it to Act 3 this quickly (and to be fair I did fuck up and finish Act 1 too early) and I'm excited to see how things play out!

Zoruan likes Minthara because she didn't immediately want to sleep with them (they're not sex-repulsed or anything just put off by people seeing a tall beefy butch half-orc and going 'i want you' when there's more important things to be doing) and because she kicks ass on the battlefield. They also have a bond as paladins even though they have different specifications (Devotion and Vengeance respectively). Even though they're differently aligned, Minthara has a softer (or at least pragmatically sympathetic) side, and Zoruan can be just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing. They call her their ukurn (monstrous spider in Orcish) and they're surprisingly kind of a wifeperson for an Upholder of Justice and Savior of the People whose spouse dreams to rule the Sword Coast. She wakes up in the morning and they say "good morning, your horribleness. what cruel and horrific conquests face you today?" and she makes out with them. It's very cute and also weird and fucked up.
