#he does show up in this update

[radioactive-earthshine]

It's been updated folks! 4 more chapters for The Haunting of Cissie-King Jones!

Excerpt from Chapter 12 The Pier Review (yes it's spelled like that on purpose)

When Bart stopped running Cissie hoped they were still at least in North America. 

“I can’t believe Fite and Maad showed up! Man, they have been riding our butts for weeks! I’m glad they’re gonna deal with those girls though. I hate dropping people off with the police! Police hate me! Totally would rather have someone else do that, ugh. So, how do Fite and Maad know you? Are they following you too?” 

Bart’s rambling didn’t even register to Cissie as language and the last thing on her mind was Fite and Maad and how Bart knew them. “Damnit! Why did you do that?!” Cissie barked at him and Bart looked at her, confused. 

“They were gonna chop your hair off! Did you just want me to sit back and watch?!” 

“Yes! No! Ugh! Put me down!” Bart eased her to her feet and she caught her balance on a large vertical wooden beam and breathed through her fury. When she was calmer she realized Bart had brought her to an unfamiliar pier and she was standing on an old wooden dock. The ocean sloshed under weathered planks and the sound was enough to finally pull the last of the adrenaline out of her as she breathed slowly.

“Hey, are you okay? Did they hurt you?” Bart asked Cissie as he stood next to her and she rapidly shook her head. 

“No, they didn’t hurt me,” she mumbled, her voice almost drowned out by the gulls. Cissie felt shame and fear as she remembered the delight she felt in hurting them; the sound of Athena’s nose breaking and her howls, how Kelly bolted in terror, the mystified shock on their faces when they realized she was not their typical victim. “But I wanted to hurt them badly. I didn’t hold back on them. I broke their bones, I struck to hurt them, and I enjoyed it!” Cissie shuddered. “I’m worried I’m broken, Bart. Am I going to kill someone?”

Say what you will about the DC timeline but we all know the truth, Jason Todd uses AO3 and has an account despite not understanding these new fangle technological advancements (hes fucking with Tim he understands what cookies are, it pisses off Tim more than anything else Jason has done)

Sometimes, being lost is not knowing how to get from where we are to where we wanna be, where we need to be. A few choice words can sometimes be the life raft that gets you home. To be seen. To be found. Isn’t that what we’re all searching for?

[trashiiking]

So how bout that update huh?

[the-algebra-thing]

ok here. I have extensive thoughts but this is the main concept. key influence points included. I would guess it will take me a bit to elaborate because I'm in texas visiting my grandparents rn, but I have much to say, so I'll get there eventually. and yeah they're all transgender because I said so

sorry to say but the maker-fledgling/parent-child relationship dynamics make DM so much juicier. and i don't mean that in a kinky way in the slightest i mean it's insane to be adamant about never having a child for 500 years, break that vow on a whim and then be a deadbeat dad for a bit. and also on the more lighthearted and sappy side of things it's really interesting for a dying man in his 70s to be given another shot at life, with eternity ahead of him and the power of an ancient in his veins to inherit over the course of that eternity. idk idk! it's just neat.

So I’ve been watching the show Alice in Borderland

Currently I just finished season one and Honestly, just found out it’s based on a manga, and suddenly everything about how the show is made makes so much more sense—

On another note —and the main point I’m addressing in this post— within the course of my viewing of season 1

I HATE THAT GOD DANG CHISIYA!!!!

HE PUSHES ALL MY GOD DANG BUTTONS OMG HIS HANDS ARE ALWAYS IN HIS GOD DANG POCKETS HIS FACE IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE SAME EXPRESSION

I DON;T CARE ANYMORE THAT HE’S SUPPOSED TO BE THE CHESHIRE CAT — WHY CAN’T HE SHOW OFF HIS COOL TECH MORE— THAT WAS NEAT

“But I am clever”— NO YOU AREN’T JUST SHUt— AUUGh AUkRAAAAGHHH you know what YOU KNOW WHAT I’m done IM DONE

Post done guys, bye

He’s my favourite character now

So does anyone else think the way Ino and Sai got together is extremely suspicious? I mean, it was established early on that Sai did not find Ino attractive and other than those few episodes where she "saves him" they don't really interact at all. Now one could say that she really did move him in those episodes and he really did fall in love but that's boring and personally, I wholly believe Sai to be 100% gay so hear me out. We know the Yamanaka's excel in mind oriented jutsus. They can take over another's body, delve into memories and with training, even break another's mind. So it's not that big a jump to assume they could change memories or even, use they're abilities to access the hypothalamus part of the brain perhaps? Sai, as stated earlier, never showed interest in Ino previous to the day she delved into the deepest parts of his mind. Ino on the other hand DID show interest in Sai. She's also been shown to be a emotionally driven individual. What if while she was in Sai's head she did more than just break him free? What if she just switched who's hand was holding the leash? She could access the hypothalamus and change what emotions are stimulated in him whenever he thinks, sees, or hears about her. And why stop there? With most of the emotional manipulation blueprints left from whatever Danzo did with him, She could make him into her ideal man.

Sat politely ankles crossed hands folded please say you have more thoughts about the DC deweys. Lazarus pit cold-eyed stare pristine and bloodthirsty anyway I would love to hear any further thoughts if you have the time + energy + motivation

how i imagine you waiting for me to re-read the resurrection of ra’s al-ghul and hush vol. 1+2:

ALRIGHT. in no particular order, thoughts about the dc deweys

connor fits very well into the mold of a talia al-ghul for me; chip on his shoulder, femme fatale, deadly and precise. he’s not the loudest but he’s got a dry wit that’ll cut you!

“why is connor an al-ghul at all and not batman” well first of all he’s already got the water connection, i’m gonna go dip him into the lake a couple hours north of the pas to make him incredibly long-lived, rejuvenated and beautiful

second of all i want him to be a questionable villain/antihero because he looks evil in those pictures but like beautiful evil. you see him at a multi-million dollar soirée and he’s bored of being there wearing his “heritage” beads and jewels he originally had from a thousand years ago. he and his assassins are only here to murder the head of state who’s planning to lay a pipeline through ancestral grounds

rip brandon duhaime i simply cannot imagine you as any kind of batman. lacks the gravitas, too much of a yapper, loves his wife too much. i curse thee to be green arrow if you’re in this narrative at all

assuming connor stays with toronto, would LOVE to think about toronto as one of the sites of the lazarus pit for many reasons

(a brief aside here to say that for me personally this is interesting if connor goes to winnipeg because i think they suit him better, he’s a manitoba boy, but re: the chip on his shoulder, he’s NOT a manitoba boy. he’s from the pas and very proud of it)

a) the amount of ‘toronto is the center of the universe’ hockey creation myths i can play with & birth/rebirth/reincarnation. if you WANT to feel unhinged trying to blend hockey and comics is an ice rink not just a pool of water?

b) mr. cathal kelly i love your works!!! toronto eats its young!!! thinking about this very literally in the sense of the resurrection arc where players come to toronto and are sacrificed, give up their body, their skill, in service of the demon’s head, and lose themselves.

c) we see echos of the same narratives and styles over and over again—if i can hop over to the flyers for a second, there is of course the curse of the *8s (18 richards, 28 claude, 48 danny b, 68 nolan, 88 lindros) but ALSO the danny brière -> tk -> morgan frost celly chain. every generation a resurrection, emerging clean and new from the pit

can you just briefly hold my hand and imagine wayne gretzky as an evil ra’s al-ghul wanting to possess a new body. gretzky i’m sorry to malign you and i know you never played in toronto but you are the best player in my head to fit the idea, i’m open to other suggestions

coming BACK to green arrow dewey (i did not re-watch arrow or re-read those comics sorry) connor could also be black canary, who takes a brief dip into the lazarus pit (toronto) before getting married to oliver. i do like that narrative but because we were talking about pristine and cold-blooded i figured connor dewar head of the league of assassins was more what you were after

now that i’ve gotten through world building… choose your own adventure narratives?

hockey-ish au: connor chosen as a host for the Next One. i think the lineage of the great one -> next one -> next next one -> next one up of gretzky -> crosby -> mcdavid -> bedard is taken, BUT i can imagine that the league of old boys all have the same intentions. connor gets sent to toronto unknowingly being prepped to get body-snatched by ???? and brandon duhaime of course accidentally stumbles on the plot and they have to fight to stop it

connor assassinating people :) snapshot of the head of the league of assassins delegating which major world events they’re going to change today. would love his shark face from the gifset to have blood spattered across it, ideally.

version 1 as head of the league of assassins: brandon is one of his assassins, big strong bodyguard type. devoted to him, would lay down his life, perfectly designed for connor (lady shiva/cassandra cain-ish). connor orders for something to be done and brandon does it there for him then gently wipes the blood off his face and apologizes for being careless and getting him messy.

version 2 as head of the league of assassins: an actual plot where connor aims to assassinate SOMEONE but brandon gets in the way. they meet at odds as their respective roles (hero, leader of a crime syndicate) but are magnetically drawn together as their alter egos. eventually brandon puts together the pieces of the Big Evil and manages to (legally!-ish as much as vigilante-ism can be legal) take it down and the ending panels show a tentative friendship and recognition of potential shared goals

also, jaromir jágr is immortal. don’t know if this is relevant OR related but he is. personal hot spring lazarus pit?

um. thanks for coming to my 1.5k ted talk (including tags). what a way to moritz seider lore drop that i DID grow up a comic book nerd, lmao. thank you so much for enabling me <3 i'll be here all week thinking about which teams would get what rings in a blackest night au

I had a dream where a 3rd J.udgment game was announced and M.ine showed up for one split second in the reveal trailer with this super hot evil smirk on his face and Twitter was going batshit crazy over it

Then I woke up and got really disappointed

New and improved Blessed reference. It's been about 4 months since I drew his old reference and it was about time he got a better one.

For comparison, his old ref to his new one.

Look who finally got to waking up. That was some Chateau Romani. Delicious, but a lot more effective than he thought. With the somehow still terrible hangover/migrane, this is why the fruit doesn't take drinks of the alcoholic caliber that often.

Holding up his head, it still took the Banana a moment to barely gather enough sense to determine that something wasn't right.

For starters...

Where the heck is he right now???
