#dream is still the villain

[bigfatbreak]

How does nooroo feel about Tom in your villian dad au?

After initial introductions, Tom basically thinks Nooroo is a figment of his imagination and a testament to his mind crumbling from the grief of losing Sabine. Nooroo gets an inside look on what really matters to tom, though

Tom uses the butterfly miraculous not for himself, but for the benefit of his daughter. The vengeance he's trying to take on "Hawkmoth" isn't quite as simple as "you're responsible for the death of my wife," it stems from a very, very different source - which makes Nooroo more sympathetic to helping him.

He's still not thrilled, but, Marinette and Tom are so kind to him, he really can't find it in himself to complain.

DP x DC Writing Prompt: Justice League's Totally Real Redemption Program

It has been a few months now since Vlad became a member of the Justice League.

...Alright rewind, it started after he instinctively used his powers a bit in human form during one of the Wayne's Galas. It was subtle but Masters moved someone out of the way and they "barely" avoided it (no thanks to a hint of intangibility of course) if only to continue talking business with them or coursem

Of course he should have known being technically a Metahuman in Gotham would get him on the Bat's radar. It was only a matter of time before the big bad bat himself burst into his office.

But... It happened while he was asleep and only left a business card to contact the Justice League??? They apparently wanted to recruit him???

Vlad was unsure but based on them being friendly they seemed to act like they were trying some bizarre rehabilitation program? Like they're trying to make villains into heroes by treating them well having them use their powers or skills for their side? Well based on his data on the Flashes, they seem to treat their Rogues well... Probably his idea.

Weird that they chose him first instead of one of their own rogues, but Vlad went along with it. Writing it off Danny was also being recruited by the Justice League and he suggested using him as a Guinea Pig first? Honestly he wouldn't put it past the boy.

Over time though Vlad began to see the positive effects he was having as the heroes seemed to look happy he was learning good with proud stares. It felt.... Refreshing to use his powers for good, something he remembers his past self had mocked Daniel for when they met.

...Speaking of Phantom, where was he anyway? It's been a while since he pestered Vlad?

------

Batman, on a rare occasion like this, was happy all things considered. Constantine was right about the rumors regarding a Halfa helping people and ghosts alike. A hero in his own right.

He didn't expect to find Vladimir Masters as the one he was looking for, and by chance when he saved someone with a subtle use of powers. At first suspecting Metahuman abilities he was keeping under wraps, but Constantine came by not long after asking about the feeling of the "Infinite Realms" in the area. Once he was told about ghosts, it didn't take long to find a connection back to Vlad.

After some digging they found according to legends he has been seen across history having fought what was believed to have been another like him... The only other Halfa and one appeared evil to the bone.

Batman hadn't pressed Plasmius about his past but he did make a list of the rogues in Amity Park, a town protected by the Halfa.

Including the suspected evil Halfa, he was easy enough to track down as hiding as a ghost hunter's own son and seal away into a little artifact for now. One less threat to deal with...

Even if he recognizes not all ghosts are evil, some do not deserve second chances for their crimes.

------

(Or... Justice League fucks up a teeny bit in research and recruitment, so through misunderstandings they believe Plasmius was the hero and Phantom was the villain based on past stories of their appearances and legends passed through the Ghost Zone to other mythical creatures but the story and detail become warped and faded as centuries past by.)

Meanwhile Vlad thinks this is some weird rehabilitation project and seems to be working for him as he feels good about doing good. Danny in turn may not be stuck in absolute suffering but isn't exactly having a good time due to being mistaken for the bad guy and now currently sealed away.)

I swear st.sg makes Sukugo even more compelling.

Just picture Sukuna and Uraume making fun of Yuji and then Kenjaku inserts himself in their conversation to mock gojo and his confession in jjk0 and how he used Gojo's love to seal him (mf thinks he's part of the group)

But he does NOT get the reaction he was expecting from Sukuna not only because he hates Kenjaku (he does) and not because he's jealous (he is) but because Gojo Satoru's love being ridiculed doesn't sit right with him for some reason...

I'd say Kenjaku figured Sukuna out right there lmao

[legendoftherisingtide]

why is no one talking about how shigaraki’s last words were FOR SPINNER. why are we not talking about how fucking tragic this is but also how much care and love were in his words. im sobbing.

he wanted spinner to know that he fought till the very end. for the dream they made together. that in the end, he was the person that spinner always believed in.

[powerfulscribbles]

Hot take: Even though I love that he beat the Miquellallegations, pre-dlc Mohg was so much better and had a lot to go for in terms of power, potential and how conniving and dedicated he was to achieve his goal. I miss him.

Also the premises for a Lord of Blood ending were right there. It would've been an interesting alternative option where you as a player, not only as a Tarnished, are giving up both your role as main character and your quest to become Elden Lord, thus letting someone else seize that opportunity.

I understand Miquella's plan for godhood and the creation of a gentler world (which is still ultimately destined to fail if we intervene and avoid having our heart stolen by him), but it removed so much agency from Mohg in particular, in my opinion.

I hate that the more I learn about Alfons, the more similarities I see between him and me

Reading SVSSS: Chapter 10

For those who don't know, I am reading SVSSS for the first time and sharing my thoughts!

If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.

Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag bloopitynoot reads SVSSS. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read.

I am so stoked for this chapter! I've been really getting into the story to the point that I want to read multiple chapters per day (I COULD but I also want to be able to take notes- so I cannot realistically with the amount of hours in a day I have) BUT I will continue with one a day.

Normally I have hot drinks while reading, but I am dehydrated as fuck, so take this as your (mostly mine, but also your) reminder to drink some water.

Let's get into it!

Wait! Like three seconds in and we are starting off strong! How can Sha Hualing control Shen Qingqiu??? p213

Holy shit, even in his new body he's being poisoned. I suppose, theoretically, if there is a person who never gets poisoned, there must be a person, statistically, who always get's poisoned. p214

Shen Qingqiu (probably): if I had a dime for every time I had demonic blood poisoning me I would have two, and that's not a lot, but fucked up it happened twice. LOL

also Shen Qingqiu (probably at this point): "and this is how I was abducted and then became a qi sex slave for a half demon cultivator" p214

Omg also, the fact that Sha Hualing tried to plant a fake SQQ to try and appease Luo Binghe. RIP to her this time for almost (accidentally) doing it again. no wonder Luo Binghe is so pissed! pp216-217

Oh god. SQQ probably doesn't die here but it would be equally terrible and funny if after all of this, second body and all, like less than 2 days in, Luo Binghe just accidentally destroys SQQ. immediate end of story p217

Well- the system is now fixed! p220

and now shen qingqiu is wearing basically a veil, oh my. p222

(Okay unrelated but related to the veil, I desperately need some arranged marriage au's. I am so ready to read the heck out of this pairing when I'm done the books).

I have a sneaking suspicion that this man (SQQ) does a terrible job of hiding his identity. "he just had to be especially careful so Luo Binghe didn't discover that he'd pull off a great escape using the Son-Moon Dew Mushrooms". p222

He really needs a better name than peerless cucumber. LOL I can't every time he introduces himself. p223

oh no, baby Luo Binghe has been mourning this entire time. p224

You know what, I'm not even mad that Little Palace Mistress is in this awful state, she is a vile character that has not grown on me at all. p226

Yeah Shen Qingqiu he definitely did not end up with any of the women because he has been super mourning for you my guy. (not that he knows this because he is oblivious af) pp228-229

Oh. My. God. This man really thinks that Luo BInghe is asexual. I can't wait till he finds out. LOL p230

Oooo! Another dream realm sequence p231

oh and we have two SQQ's (again I need this fanfiction)

aaaaaah luo binghe has clocked the real SQQ p236

Okay okay, he thinks this SQQ is part of the dream and does not know he is indeed the real deal. thank fuck for SQQ's sake I guess p236-237

Oop. now this guys is "yes and"ing Luo Binghe in the dream. Oh gosh I hope this ends alright. p237

The head pats! p238

OH MY GOD p239

DREAM REALM KISS??????!!!!!!!!!!!!! p239

(AHAHAAA his face in the art tho)

LOL the system p239

Bro just found out why Luo Binghe had no wives and is GOOPED. He really found out in the worst of ways for him ahahahahahahahah I am CACKLING p241

I truly don't know how these two end up together with SQQ not vibing at all. is it Stockholm syndrome? like I genuinely do not know how SQQ ends up realizing his emotions for this man.

SQQ is literally saved by the bell in this one. p242

Liu Qingge is here?!?!? has he been trying to avenge SQQ this entire time? p243

Ah, Fuck!

SO MANY THINGS HAPPENED.

We have a kiss, we have a SQQ now trying to be sneaky, I honestly don't know how this man is going to stay hidden- if at all.

And next chapter we have a showdown ?!?!?!?

Watching Charlie spend the first three episodes tweaking and trying out different behaviors to figure out what Babe wants, what will keep him interested, and therefore keep Charlie around him, is fascinating. Yes, he’s manipulating Babe, even though it’s for a noble cause, and yes, he does fall in love with Babe pretty quickly and his actions become genuine. Still, it’s also just the perfect reminder that Charlie was also an abused child whose only chance for any type of attention or affection was to please Tony. 

And the great irony of the Charlie/Babe/Way situation is that the thing Charlie figured out, the thing Babe wants most in the world, is just for someone to love him and take care of him, the one thing that Way spent 10 years convincing him he couldn’t have. 

Way’s whole schtick was “Yeah, I love you, but nobody else does or ever will without wanting something.” Which equated to “you’re lucky to have me.” Why would Babe ever mess up their friendship, shooting for a romantic relationship that might not even work out when it could lead to him losing the only person he had? 

On the other hand, Charlie constantly hyped Babe up. He pushed the narrative of how amazing Babe was and how Charlie was the lucky one. He approached him from the beginning with the idea that he was open about wanting something from Babe and what he was offering in exchange and so, all the extras, the tenderness, caretaking, felt like it was something he gave freely because he thought Babe was worth it.  

In other words, Way might have had a shot if he hadn’t spent 10 years negging the shit out of Babe. But I guess when you get constantly told what a super special Alpha you are, some of that arrogance gets internalized.

I think it’s be funny to have a Spider-Man that is genuinely just a kid, not like a teenager or a kid who understands the gravity of his abilities but a kid who does heroics simply because that’s cool to a kid.

The gimmick is that the villains think it’s a gimmick and Spider-Man(?) fucks with them by acting like a kid to make ‘em feel bad or embarrass them only for them to realize he’s a literal child due to a forced team up where they like offer him a brewski afterwards and he’s legitimately like “Mr I am 9 years old, I just do this cause my aunt can’t take me to the park every afternoon.” And they grill him on adult things and he sits there just blanking cause he’s fucking 9.

[mettywiththenotes]

Can't stop thinking about Izuku being fucked up about Tomura after a week (he was probably in a coma and woke up recently but still). Can't stop thinking of him lying there, so damn tired, telling All Might about how he failed. Because the end result is that Tomura is dead and that's not what Izuku wanted. He wanted to save him, and he couldn't

There's only one of them left now, but Izuku is still no thoughts head empty about Tomura and it kills me

Also, did you notice how Izuku called him Tenko? Like even tho "he died as Tomura Shigaraki", even when things have ended up this way, that makes me think that he is always going to be Tenko to him - the little boy who deserved to be helped and understood

[bleue-flora]

C!wilbur is the only dsmp character I am no an apologist for. Like, damn, he was just open about being a dick.

I still love his character though, don’t get me wrong. I just don’t see a reason to be apologist for him. He was very open about his desires and ambitions and how little he cared about others. He got that boosted charisma and the temper of a toddler.

It’s not like c!dream, c!quackity, c!sam, or even c!tommy. They believed they were right and justified in their actions. I never got that impression from c!wilbur. Man just wanted attention.

(the only one? lol jk XD)

Yea… lets be honest the guy probably has Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPDor aka a sociopath) and I think you’re right I don’t think Wilbur was ever convoluted enough to think what he said or was doing was in the right. Though maybe you could make an argument against that - saying he’s a man of the people - but I don’t really think that’s true. While think about it, it’s interesting he’s almost the opposite of some of the other characters. He doesn’t seem to think his intentions are good, but is able to make other people think that they are. Versus characters like Sam who thinks he’s doing the right thing, but other people do not. In other way overly simple terms, on the outside, early on, Wilbur appears like a “good guy” but his motives are bad, versus Sam who looks like a “bad guy” but his motives are good. If that makes sense. Then you have Quackity and Tommy, who early on appear like “good guys”, but who’s motives are the same bad ones, but they are convinced they are good. Then there’s Dream and Techno who look like “bad guys” but their motives are good, though the difference between them and Sam is that they don’t believe they are good guys even though the have good motives. Sam and Tommy believe they are good guys regardless of how people see them or their motives and that is one way they differ from Quackity, Wilbur, Dream and Techno - they all have their reasons, they are do whatever it takes for their reasons but I don’t think they truly think they are the “good guys” in the story. Again very poorly worded but hopefully it kinda makes sense… just some random thoughts as I’m thinking about it now. But anyways, Wilbur really is a pretty bad person, but I do have to respect that it seems to me like he at least is aware enough to recognize reality. His recognition that Tommy and him in the Pogtopia days are the ones who are the “bad guys” trying to overthrow a democratically elected president. Schlatt was elected he is in the initial right, and I appreciate that at least Wilbur is smart enough to realize that. He doesn’t seem to be so deluded, even if he helps feed the delusion.

[kozzax]

Back during the time between us knowing The Book existed and us knowing it was the Revival Book, I spent. Way too many hours thinking about it? And about what it could be, what it could mean. Something so powerful and dangerous and something that gave Schlatt so much power throughout his reign-- what could it possibly be?

I had two big ideas that I proposed to my friends at the time. One of them was what we got: the written directions for resurrection. I... was never as attached to this idea as I was to my other thought. Resurrection was a big topic on the server at the time and it seemed like other people were researching it too, as my qpp pointed out, but even if that weren't true-- my other idea was always more compelling to me.

Because my other idea? Was that it was the script.

[misty-doodles]

Lmao as a c!dream apologist, there is something soooo funny about the way c!dream anti's will unironically say that he deserved torture and that they're happy about that and then in the same exact breath talk about Tommy and how dream apologists' won't call exile abuse.

Like okay bestie, sure, torture/abuse is completely morally acceptable as long as the person deserves it. That is a completely normal, not at all concerning way to view retribution.

And I think most Dream apologists (at least the normal ones) can acknowledge that exile and prison were both unacceptable. Can you?
