Random thoughts on Lynette von Valancius (and possible relationship between RT and Heinrix)

I think when it comes to Heinrix, the RT's main intention may be to give him some grey hair and, eventually, drive him completely crazy. Probably, even to make his presence on the board hardly bearable, yet not confronting him directly. Why so? Because after Lynette spent years under the watchful eye of the Inquisition for some reason, without any real chance to make her rules, becoming RT is like a breath of fresh air for her. This title came out of the blue, but she intends to take as much advantage of that as possible.

Although teasing an interrogator and making his life less comfortable aren't the most signicant benefits, they're definitely enjoyable ones! She slowly gets softer with him. Still, he doesn't 'pass her trust check' until Commorragh. Shame, but even after that she has a few doubts about his true intentions nearly till the end of the game.

P.S. What's more, at first, subconsciously, Lynette'd like him to lose his mind, get back to Calcazar in such a condition, and corrupt the entire Inquisition there... (dark side points gained!)

Maybe it’s the night wind coercing me to write about you. Maybe it’s the fear of letting go of things so fast. Or maybe it’s the anxiety of waiting for another day to pass. Whatever it is, I wish you well.

How do you do these days? I hope you’re getting nice sleep — unlike me who’s unable to have a proper one ever since starting a new year. I always seem to have it the worst during the early months of the year — maybe my body remembers that night. Did you know our bodies can store memories? On a cellular level, it can. Do you think it’ll explain why my fingers twitch, my eyes suddenly hurt or my chest heave at the recognition of even the smallest thing that can remind me of you? I already know the answer to that.

My parents said I was good at making friendships when I was a child. Now it seems to be the complete opposite. Nobody stays. Even you. I still hold a grudge for the people who leave me. But I know I don’t hate them, not really. Because I can’t. Because I can understand people to a level they aren’t even aware of. I understood why you left and I accepted it even like my next breath. I’m so understanding of others, I overlooked everything that concerned me because I deemed it too low compared to other people’s. Have you experienced the same? Is this a bad attempt on still finding something we can both relate too? I told you I’m bad at this now.

I think the distance is a good thing. Sometimes, that is. Sometimes, I force myself to have fun because not everything should revolve around you and your life. Sometimes, I beat myself up over all the things I did wrong. It gets worse at nights — hence whatever I’m doing right now.

Do you miss it as much as I miss it?

I missed out on a lot of your teenage years, and you missed out on a lot of mine. Which is good, I think. It’s for the better that you didn’t witness how I was firsthand, right after you left. Or they left. A lot of people leave, please tell me why they do. Maybe you can convince me, you were always good at it.

Do you hate me?

I know there were moments where I was absent. I’m self aware. Do you hold it against me that I didn’t choose to view your messages? Is it the reason why you stopped reaching out?

If you knew the things I knew, would you have still ignored me?

I like to believe I’m stronger now. But everytime I’m faced with a problem and everything crashes down and I remember, I still get petrified and scared. But I don’t cry anymore. Maybe that’s an improvement.

I’m sorry. I need some sleep.

At least I know my dad was always proud of me. Literally no matter what I did he always was proud and loved me unconditionally. I wish my mom would do the same

All ancients re-designs + their weapons. Working on this took way too long, man. I had to get the anatomy accurate for everyone too for a separate ref sheet. But they're finally done.

I'm afraid of disappointment

Money is bad and awful

I can't trust people

And I don't know what's causing my vulvitis

How are you today?

[lady-raziel]

because there is nothing to lose the people saying biden should resign now so kamala can still be the first female president are absolutely right but why stop there? inauguration day is 70 days away let's make "president for a day" a real thing. say "fuck it we ARE going to do the arbitrary quota DEI bullshit you accuse us of" and speedrun first [category] presidents. revolving door type thing.

first female president. first openly gay president. first transgender president. first president who has been to space. first president gamer president. first mime president. just play president bingo and hit as many categories as possible while we still can. make all of trump's #47 merch unusable by forcing him to be the 115th president instead. who cares anymore let's peacefully transition power but do it in the most chaotic hot-potato way possible

Claudia and Soren be like “they aren’t my sibling anymore, I will do whatever it takes to stop them.”

And still unintentionally speak of each other with fondness in their heart

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

The reason why I lean towards the directive is because many trans people I know personally were told "hey I think you might be trans" and it prolonged and complicated things, rather than helped. Theres some people in that group who have lasting effects from it, too, extremely anxious that they might have transitioned "to fit in" (obviously thats baloney but anxiety brain rarely cares about being reasonable). I can see the logic behind how some people tout the directive for transphobic reasons, but I think like everything its not black and white. My interpretation and interaction with this personal rule has been "dont tell someone theyre trans. remind them that exploration is an option, be an open resource, but dont decide for them", with how overt I am about recommending exploring their gender identity varying based on circumstances.

Point is, I'm reluctant to cast all of this as "transphobic people trying to stop more trans people from living as themselves" or the like. Its a fine line though, I get it.

Ramona: Yeah, uh, Roxie and I are both trans women.

Scott: Oh! So that's how she's one of your "evil ex boyfriends" despite being a girl!

Roxie, six inches from slicing him to bits depending on what he says next: Oh?

Scott, oblivious: Not "ex ... boyfriend", but "ex-boy ... friend!"

Roxie: ... y'know, that's the funniest way I've ever heard any "cis" person describe it.

Scott: Oh, really? -- Wait, why was "cis" in quotes?

Ramona, as innocently as she can manage: What do you mean in quotes?

Roxie, ditto: Yeah, this is a verbal conversation.

Scott: Uhhh, never mind.

a collection of early game ingellvar moments that made me go '...oh. oh rook LOVES loves the grand necropolis huh' with devastating force in my first playthough (+ one bonus lucanis being -- perhaps not quite convinced because his delivery makes me so happy and I made this for me. every day I'm so incredibly glad you're here even if you maybe aren't so much yet lucanis)
