idk i'd never paid much attention to past prologue aside from the opener but it's so fucking funny bc of the context it gives for everything else?? like okay garak cruises julian at the replimat (with unclear success), then gets approached by the sisters and says "shit, i need backup. who can i trust to be chill about black market dealing, yet honest enough to report it if necessary? ah yes the doctor will do nicely" ............aaand then julian flubs it so bad that garak immediately starts a book club called Espionage For Dummies. he says julian you are a baby bird. a tiny kitten. a helpless puppy all alone in a cutthroat world. you must open your eyes and learn to forage or you will never survive the winter and julian says okay 💖 yayy 💖 and by god they hold that book club every fucking tuesday for the next 5 to 7 years? only interrupted when there's an actual war on? the professional outrage was THAT strong

Prompt 198
Now Bruce was not expecting to reincarnate upon his death. At least he thinks he died, he’s pretty sure he did. There wasn’t any other reason for him to be a well, literal baby. Around two he thinks, which fits well with the fact that it’s around that time that babies start forming memory recall, if he, well, remembered correctly. 
But while he knew about reincarnation thanks to Shayera and Carter, he’d never exactly given it much thought towards himself. Because seriously, what were the chances of such a thing as him being given another chance? 
So he was quite surprised at his situation, experimentally opening and closing pudgy hands that looked well, just a tiny bit off. He’d never been that pale before, he thinks, even back when he never went outside like, ever. 
He turned his gaze towards the mobile above him with a sort of idle curiosity- a mixture of bats (ha) and other trinkets he wasn’t familiar with. It also caused him to get his first good look at his parent, asleep on a rocking chair right next to the crib. 
Huh. They had the same pale skin he did, albeit in the light it looked like it was slightly tinted blue, and while their hair was white they didn’t exactly look old. They looked surprisingly well rested for raising a toddler too, unless they had a nanny or something similar… He rolled over, managing to very shakily push himself to his feet with the help of the crib. 
Why was standing so hard as a toddler? And why did he have his memories of everything except how he had died anyway? 
His head whipped up from where they were staring at his feet when he heard a snort, finding his parent awake and standing. Somehow silently enough that he hadn’t noticed- or he was that easily distracted by the unfamiliar giddiness bursting in his chest. 
“Morning little bat,” his parent easily picked him up and held him while he inwardly sighed at the nickname. Of course his bat motif would follow him into this life. A low rumbling almost caused him to jump, his body relaxing before he could fully register the sound. The… purring? 
Oh. 
He wasn’t human this time around.

If it's not too much to ask, what would Megatron's origin be then?
Ooohhhhehe I love this one.
Megatron is Dredge, a living stone statue or stone giant. Living in the far future. Not as far as Brainstorm, but in the future.
He gets a medical degree, suffers sleepless nights before an exam, and writes poetry. The regular mechs treat him with a little wariness, but no more than that. Overt oppression of monsters is long past, thanks to the efforts of Orion and many other mechs.
Megatron has never and will never meet Orion Pax, but he can see him if he looks at illustrations in historical articles.

That one comic you made about past meets current, you got me so mf curious on how d-16 would react/what d-16 would say after he heard Megatron say he KILLED Orion ohhh my god 😭 I wanna know so bad (loved the art so much!!!!)
oh my gosh bro i already have a rough script written out - if i ever have the chance to i would love to draw it out but i got a million things on my plate rn
here it goes:
D:16: “No— no no no no no but why?!”
“Orion Pax-“ Megatron spits with venom, “-never cared about us, never enough to listen. Always dragging us down-“
“BUT HE WAS MINE!” D-16 yells, hands coming up to his chest. Megatron intake shuts with a stunned look in his eyes. “We had nothing- could have nothing— sure he may get into trouble too many times. Sure we had to pick up after his messes time and time again. But he was ours. And he always cared - in fact too much at times.” He glares up at Megatron, yellow eyes dipping into a darker orange, “how could you lose sight of that?”
Megatron: “… You don’t see it do you? He’s just using you.”
“And you’re blind to what you had.” D-16 snarls back, “I’ll never be like you.”
Megatron almost laughs, “You already are.”

that's all i got rn! thank you so much for asking though i always want to blurt to people about them

i just thought of something about frostpaw’s design having a wolf motif and her huge autopsy scar - it reminds me of how in multiple fairy tales (particularly ittle red riding hood, like you mentioned in the design post), the wolves in those stories have their stomachs cut open. i just thought that was cool :3
I hadn't even considered that, but it makes it work even better. The fairytales don't even just have the wolf get their belly cut open-- they also get filled with stones and tossed in the river.
There's a clear image in my mind that when Frostpaw is put under the human tranquilizer, her mind falls backward and plunges her into liquid void. A dream takes hold, bubbles forming in the dark, her body cradled by clear water as far as she can perceive.
The unspoken knowledge of her dream tells her that she's in a raindrop, the river, the lake, and Riverstar Himself. The embodiment of water. And He is endless.
Her problems are washed away by the sheer vastness of his being, and she's just beginning to wrap her head around the marvel of it all when she opens her eyes in a den. Warm, comfortable, surrounded by hay.
The vision sloshes in her mind like dancing waves. She has a boiling desire to understand what it meant-- and the only thing that comes to mind is the Tribe of Rushing Water's philosophy that all things are connected by the river. That living by the Lake, fed by the southern delta, which rushes down from the mountain's waterfall, makes their cultures kin.
She decides to start there, and will go further south if need be. Thus begins Book 3 of BB!ASC, The Source of the River.

In season 4, I demand more Benedict and Hyacinth interactions. Gregory's off to school, Anthony and Kate are off to India, Eloise and Francesca are off to Scotland, the other two have married and moved out, so these two are the last ones under Violet's roof, I love what we've gotten of them but I need more bonding scenes. They're both hilarious and completely unhinged at times, I need more of this chaotic sibling duo.

Watchers are known to enjoy a bit of chaos and destruction, right, but they're also very into their rules and Players obeying them, taboos are very serious to them.
I think Xelqua is a Saint of destruction, a destroyer.
Despite working so hard for this and giving up his entire life for the Watchers, he becomes too much. He reaches sainthood and tears his own timeline apart, fragile things to a deity, threads of a sweater to him, but in the same movements he is solidified within all other universes as something that's always existed in Watcher's stories. belief, and stained glass.
He is a cautionary tale amongst Watchers against falling out of order, there has to be balance for everything.
All of this only happens because Grian agrees to join the Watchers, despite this version of Grian running away, this one act still sets off a chain reaction, other timelines, and in one of those timelines Xelqua is born.
Grian is guided by a version of himself that he unknowingly created and doomed

Prompt #3: Hero x Villain
“Friendly face”
“Oh let me get that for you” they let out an innocent chipper picking up the magazine Hero had dropped while passing by.
Hero paused, eyes widened almost dumbfounded. The other was slightly puzzled by the look of the hero. They could sense that the other felt like they had seen a ghost just by how pale they were.
Hero blinked for a while but snapped themselves back to reality. “Sorry…” they muttered lowly, their head jerking to the side in sheer awkwardness.
Unfamiliarity had washed the hero when the young figure, smiled. It wasn’t a crooked smile that symbolizes the madness of evil, it wasn’t the smile of an individual so lost in megalomania — No.
It was a genuine smile. A smile that could brighten even the darkest of days, whitening teeth that shined under sunlight, a smile of kindness.
Hero cursed in their mind when butterflies had eroded their heart making it swell.
“It’s alright. Just watch where you go next time. These days people aren’t so, welcoming, when you bumped into them” the figure laughed. It felt uncanny to not hear it drip from vileness.
The individual had looked at their watch before looking back to the hero with a soften gaze.
“Anyways, I better get going. My family is waiting for me at the station. Ciao”
The figure began to walk so bubbly, disappearing at a sea of the busy crowd who also passed by the Hero standing awestruck.
The Hero blinked for a couple of second, trying to process if what they had saw was actually real.
No… it couldn’t be right?
Few years prior from this day that citizen will become a bane of terror to this city, causing mayhem, destroying lives, terrorizing innocents.
That couldn’t be, their Villain, right?

i think the thing for me about edizzy is the potential of it all- we know they have history together, but we don't know what it is, how long it went on for, what it meant for them. there's endless possibilities there to explore, and any of them could be real! or not! but theres so much to explore with them and its so fun to imagine all the what-if's and could-have-beens of their relationship
#like yes!!! i love stizzy and steddyhands and rizzy and ouizzy and ALL the izzy ships!#but it always comes back to edizzy for me simply because of the ties that bind them#we see all the other relationships grow in canon and build off of that#but we KNOW theres more to edizzy that we simply dont know about and imagining all their possible pasts is so interesting to me#how did we get to where we are now? where can we go in the future? what underlies their relationship that we simply dont know?#were they married? unrequited love? mutual pining? never considered it until it was too late? divorced a dozen times over?#have they known each other since they were kids? did they meet on Hornigold's ship? did they meet after ed became blackbeard?#does izzy have a navy past? is that how they met? a brothel? the streets? a prison? a bar?#they could literally be anything!#maybe theyve only known each other two years! maybe its twenty!#we literally do not know and the possibilities are there and it CONSUMES me#i cant settle on one favourite reality for them because i just have so much fun messing around with all the different options#what will they be this week?#nyxtalks#ofmd#our flag means death#izzy hands#israel hands#edward teach#edizzy#blackhands#and im so sad canon didn't take any opportunities to explore it in s2#like we got a few hints that they are Something; but not even a passing comment about who they really were to each other#nothing!!#im not a writer so i couldn't tell u how to do it well but. a passing comment! anything!#a moment explaining izzys loyalty to ed after everything; talking to lucius about complicated relationship and moving on; to ed face when#hes confessing or after his leg; to Ned or to Zheng or Ricky or Hornigold or anyone! anything! Ed to Fang in the boat!!#im just surprised that wasnt a path they at least tried to explore; given how much of s2 was focused around them to some degree
