#he either wants to be the villain so bad or

[gothamite-rambler]

Ivy: Hey, bat-brats! Which one of you do you think is Batman's favorite child? I want an answer.

Batman (hanging upside down, tied up with a vine whip): They know I have no favorites. You’re a weed for asking them that. None of you have to answer her ridiculous question.

Nightwing: He's right… Because it's obviously me who he favors the most.

Red Robin (shaking his head): Oh, Nightwing… No.

Robin (prideful): It's obviously me! Nightwing, humble yourself.

Red Robin: I figured you’d believe that. I'm his favorite child, I took care of him when he was more depressed than usual.

Batman: I wasn't that depressed.

Red Hood (walking over to a hot dog stand): It’s cute you think that, third child.

Red Robin (insulted): What’s that supposed to mean?

Red Hood: Nightwing is the oldest, Robin is the baby, I am the black sheep middle child, and you were the one born by accident because your parents forgot to wrap it up.

Robin: Exactly.

Red Robin: That’s not true! Robin was literally conceived because Batman used a bad condom!

Batman: You didn’t hear that, Ivy.

Ivy: Oh yes, I did.

Red Robin: You’re the fourth child, Robin, that he had at his geriatric age!

Batman: You don’t have to insult me; having kids at that age isn’t old!

Ivy: How old are you?

Batman: Harlot, how old are you?

Ivy shrugged enjoying the the bat-kids continued arguing.

Robin: Oh yeah well... you're short!

Red Robin: You're short!

Robin: Cause I'm a kid! you're an adult and short! I can grow!

Red Robin: There's no guarantee of that and either way I'd still be his favorite!

Robin (jumping up and down): LIES! ALL LIES!

Nightwing walked closer to Ivy with a grin.

Nightwing: I'm his favorite, though. Because I was the cutest, the first one, and he chose to have me.

Ivy (pinching Nightwing's cheek): You’re my favorite at least.

Batman: Stop touching my son! And just because I say that doesn’t mean he’s my favorite!

Red Hood (walking past the group holding a hot dog): I’m guessing it’s not me.

Batman: Well… I mean, I do care about you a lot, Red Hood. If you died again by the hands of any villains here, I’d lose control of myself again, so you know… yeah.

Ivy (smirking): Look at that! Hey, Hood, looks like you're the favorite child!

Red Hood: What?

Red Robin and Robin (the oldest having the other in a headlock): What?!

Nightwing: Papa, why?

Batman: I didn’t even say he was! I have no favorites; you’re all favorites! I love all of you- and that’s not what I wanted to say either.

Ivy sighed happily, snapping her fingers to cause the vines to release Batman, dropping him to the ground.

Ivy (holding out her hands for the cuffs): Petty revenge is enough for me. You can arrest me.

Nightwing chuckled, escorting Ivy away as Batman stood up, his face flushed. He walked off, his cape flapping, while his other sons ran after him.

Robin: You love us all, just say that!

Batman: No.

Red Robin: Say we’re all your favorites again!

Batman: No.

Red Hood: I knew you loved me!

Batman: Shut up!

There's soooo much i could do...

But i say just after UTRH, Jason is fucked up bc of the final confrontation.

Supporting cast are: mainly Natalia Knight, Dog and Rena. With less appearances but also there are Max, i also retcon Numbers' death and he's there too, episodically. Oh, there would be also Tyler, but just as an easter egg, not actual character. Just appearing in the background.

First two issues are about how Jason finds Natalia and they bond and get into some whacky situations outside of Gotham. He left only bc he had a lead about her whereabouts. Then, he goes back to Gotham to go back to his crime empire, but this time not with a high goal of making Bruce pay attention but to actually just make Gotham better and kill Joker for good.

The conflict with Bruce is on, but only after a while bc issues 3-7 is Jason mostly avoiding him. I think in issue 5 i'll bring in Nightwing cameo when they fight the shit out of each other, but it ends up unresolved bc they are interrupted by some crime and prioritise the victim.

Also, Jason is his own main villain, outside of Joker and Black Mask. He kills people when he deems it worthy. This is the grief-driven 18 years old and he's soooo unwell mentally.

Natalia Knight didn't come back to Gotham with him, but now and then she has cameos of either watching the news about Jason or talking on the phone.

The Rena plotline actually would start in issue 1. The first page is her writing an article about Red Hood and thinking about Jason, bc after his death she figured out he was Robin. She's now a freelancer that's anti-batman and really critical about Robins being involved. On the side there's an older article about Stephanie written by her.

Then, she comes back at the end of issue 4, where she finds Red Hood or one of his men and wants to talk with him.

She gets to talking with Red Hood bc she really wants to know what his deal is and also has no regard for her life. She's actually kinda unhinged. Jason's inner monologue meanwhile is crazy, bc what the fick is even going on.

Anyways, they get to talk, Rena wrotes an article about him where she writes about the good and bad he does. She's a harsh critic but also is not making him out for worse than he is.

They get to interract more and their relationship grows. In issue 8 Jason reveals his identity (which she may or may not be already aware of) and they start a romantic relationship.

Rena is kinda his voice of reason, but is not entirally against what he does. She tells him that if she could, she would kill Joker, but she's too weak, and she will not be another idiot running around fighting crime while doing crimes themselves.

In issue 9 RH and Batman fight and Jason's so angry he almost kills Bruce, but at the last moment he redirects his gun and shots him in the leg or something. They also have a conversation (okay maybe i wouldn't call it a conversation) about Jason's time as Robin and the case of Gloria and Garzonas - Jason tells him how Bruce never actually believed in him, even when he was still trully 'good' and that he never pushed Felippe, but he's glad he didn't try to save him, since Bruce would never bring justice for Gloria.

Issue 10 is mostly from other perspectives - Jason actually reconnects with Max and Numbers and helps Numbers get a job (I think i'll make Max a lawyer. Just for funsies.). Rena and Natalia are shown talking while Jason plays catch with Dog. Bruce is having a mental breakdown in the Batcave. In the arkham asylum Joker is shown dead in his cell, smiling. We don't exactly know who or what killed him, but there's a very light golden shadow in a shape of a sword sticking from his chest (look i'm a sucker for All-Caste)

Serious question: DC has asked you (yes you 🫵) to write a 10 issue Jason Todd comic run. No conditions or stipulations, any era, any supporting cast, any villain. What do you do?

gn! reader ; how would experiencing a classic slow-burn and friends to lovers trope with dick grayson be like?

notes. open ending, a little corny, fluff, a LITTLE angsty if you squint hard enough! [masterlist]

DICK GRAYSON is his own adjective. You know his soul like the back of your hand, like he knows yours.

From his angsty days as Bruce’s first-ever Robin to a flourishing and ever-so-charming Nightwing, the bond that grew was a tightly knitted string that wove your beings together. Everyone that connected to you knew Dick, and vice versa. Your deep-rooted connection, whether interpreted as romantic or platonic, was not a secret to everyone.

It began with holding hands together while walking and ignoring the stares some may inevitably give you, either out of envy or curiosity, the secret handshakes, an endless amount of inside jokes, eating lunch at the back of the school building to gossip and laugh at every joke that flew out of your mouths; weirdly enough, the jokes weren’t exactly the pinnacle of humor, the words coming from your voice just strangely sounded like a choir of heavenly melodies to him.

The little activities developed into something more as you two matured. Holding hands turned into soft caresses on each other’s arms, and if you weren’t, you’d be exchanging secret longing stares. You didn’t spend lunch at the back of the school building, but rather, alleyways or on rooftops. With his ongoing career, it was difficult to find time for leisure. Nowadays, you two might run into each other on the street, chat, and buy a coffee, before hoping you’ll meet again the next day.

You weren’t complaining— how could you? The moment that you knew that Dick was Bruce Wayne’s ward, you acknowledged that you two would flourish into your own, separate paths. However, you and Dick were two branches of dissimilar trees, meeting and intertwining. The years could never take you away from him.

As a vigilante, Dick never planned to confess to you. Confessing to you means that he could risk losing you. Over the years, he has made enemies, and he didn’t want to impose danger on anyone, most especially you; you weren’t the first person he dated, but you were the first person he loved. However, what if his hesitation is just another simile for his fear of rejection, tagged along with his vulnerable and trembling heart that yearned for the ownership of yours?

He insistently prayed that he’d muster up the courage sooner or later. Fighting villains and bad guys came easy to him, so why did the words melt on his tongue before he could say that he liked you? There’s only one way to find out.

He hopes you’ll pick up your phone soon, at least before his confidence leaves him.

Give me some of your thoughts on bobby fulbright/the phantom. Would also like your thought on simon. And some fic recs about either if you have them

I love them so much in a way that I want to put it in a box and shake it really aggressively until they die. I love the Phantom, he’s a great villain to ME and it’s specifically the fact that he’s an entirely new third party that draws me so much to him. He’s eerie, the first time we see Bobby with a stoic-neutral expression it creeps me out. His eyes looking so sunken into his mask creeps me out. I can’t have my Bobby Fulbright if he isn’t Phantom flavored.

I think if Bobby was actually the bad guy it would just be a little too easy. Still would’ve liked it, but the idea of this man being already dead and our protagonists having never actually met him, like at all, is creepy! the Phantom is creepy. I wish they would’ve had more of him pretending to be other people to get information and the characters being like "hey I just saw you" "what? i wasnt even here". GREAT potential! but its DD. It couldve been great.

He’s super fun, his dynamic with Blackquill is great. The “man that doesn’t experience emotions normally” description could go so many ways it’s super fun to try and break down his character when doing art of him, and it bothers me a bit when he gets reduced to an evil mastermind because it’s just not true. (Also being afraid of being perceived is so real of him)

And Simon… he’s a mixed bag for me. I think he’s REALLY fun and I enjoy going against him more than I enjoyed Godot, Klavier and Nahyuta, but he’s also too confined, and not interacting with him at all outside court besides the DLC really makes it hard to get into the story with him actually in it. He’s your new rival that was in jail and he’s here now for some reason that’s it. Despite that, I love him. He’s cringe and I love his loyalty and how he lives by his own rules, and specially the little moments where he breaks character and gets flustered or distraught. He’s a sweet guy, and I like him a lot.

Dual Destinies could’ve been great ! No fanfic recs yet. Im bad at reading

[elainsgirl]

I honestly don’t know what is worse Nesta stans or Gwyn/Azriel stans.

Some nesta stans will deny that she did anything wrong. She has to be the victim in every situation. Everyone around her is the villain, especially her sisters. Her being mean? Queen behavior. Her constantly telling feyre that no one will remember if she lives/cares if she dies? Just normal sisterly behavior. Her blaming elain for their father’s death and comparing her to a dog? Iconic behavior.

Nesta’s dancing is wonderful and great, but feyre’s painting is awful and elain’s gardening is useless. Nesta’s the most intelligent, powerful, and beautiful woman in the entire series while feyre is stupid and elain is boring.

And according to them, elain and feyre owe Nesta unwavering support. How dare elain and feyre distance themselves from nesta after months of being verbally abused? But nesta doesn’t owe them basic human decency or the tiniest amount of respect. No, nesta is allowed to lash out and be angry - elain and feyre aren’t allowed to react in any negative way once so ever.

Like I understand that elain and feyre made mistakes. They didn’t handle Nesta’s trauma in a healthy way - but Nesta didn’t handle their trauma perfectly either. Nesta knew Elain was still grieving when she blamed elain for the death of their father. Nesta knew Feyre’s neck got snapped when she threatened to slit her throat. Nesta constantly used elain’s and feyre’s insecurities and trauma to hurt them. At least, feyre and elain always had good intentions and never sought out to hurt nesta.

Then again, there’s gwyn/Azriel stans that will go on about how elain is this awful person who’s secretly evil. They’ll go on rants about how elain doesn’t deserve love and respect because she’s so mean to nesta and lucien. They’ll call her a bitch for not being more empathetic to nesta. They’ll claim she’s manipulative and appearing weak to earn sympathy from Azriel - but then go on to say that she’s actually weak.

There’s so many headcanons and fics basically degrading elain all for the sake of gwyn. Fics about elain being desperate for a man, begging Azriel for attention only for Azriel to tell her that gwyn is smarter, sexier, and kinder than she is. Fics about gwyn yelling at elain (and sometimes feyre) for not being a good sister and smacking her for not being supportive enough for Nesta while Azriel cheers in the background. Fics about gwyn being Nyx’s second mom and not allowing feyre or elain to hold nyx because only she can calm him down - which makes Azriel baby crazy and he’s just overcome with the desire to impregnant gwyn. Basically, all these fics tell us that gwyn (and occasionally nesta) is so much better than elain because elain is vain, vapid, and superficial - gwyn is just so different and not like other girls.

It’s just exhausting seeing video after video of people analyzing the story and coming up with the most bizarre takes ever. Apparently, Nesta’s behavior towards feyre in the cabin and during the beginning of ACOSF towards elain is normal sister behavior and not at all abusive. Apparently, elain is just some selfish bitch who only wants a man to take care of her (if that was the case, she would’ve just fallen into Lucien’s arms).

I’m not saying all nesta stans or gwyn/Azriel stans are like this, but a lot are. It’s just weird to me. If you really don’t like elain or feyre why go on so many rants about why they’re such bad people - rants in which they don’t even use canon facts. Many of the things they’re mad about aren’t even stated in the books, they just assume. For example, people are claiming Feyre doesn’t appreciate “women’s work” when Feyre made absolutely no comment disparaging women’s work. Or when people are mad that elain is still not giving Lucien the time of day (which is fair - considering he helped kidnap her) because they believe she saw the past and knows about lucien’s trauma.

I like Nesta, gwyn, and even lucien. But some of their stans make it so hard… like, did we even read the same books?

atp im convinced we have not read the same books, I would not be suprised if antis all created a different version of the series which they follow from.

Most Nesta stans dont want to admit how terrible Nesta once was. They want to blame and bring down everyone else so Nesta can be seen as better - the top character, the one that redeemed the series and deserved everything good. They want the plot to surrond Nesta and her friends. Not Feyre, Elain and the IC. Nesta spat out many insults but the one time Elain talks back? They dragged elain through the mud calling her manipulative, evil, selfish. If Elain didnt leave Nesta alone - they would have said how Elain doesn’t respect Nestas boundaries. When Elain did leave Nesta alone - who literally pushed Elain away, she now “abandoned” Nesta. Same goes for Feyre, they hate her for standing up for herself and hate how everyone else sticks by feyre. Not Nesta. Nesta is potrayed by her stans as the perfect sister, no one calls her a terrible dancer but for some reason they want to label Feyre as a bad painter when there is no evidence for that claim and Elains gardening as useless despite the fact Elain is bringing beauty into the world and helping the ecosystem. Like, there is no logic or explanation as to why they think like this. Her stans use Nesta’s trauma as an excuse for her actions instead of a justification. But that only applies to Nesta ofc.

as for Gwynriels, they have to hate on Elain to make Gwyn seem better - its a way to justify their ship. Like how Nesta sees Gwyn as a true sister but not Elain, which is pure bull. Or how Gwyn will put Elain and Feyre in their place for not understanding Nesta. They hVe to undermine Elains importance and give it to Gwyn because in the series itself, Gwyn isnt rlly that important. She was a cute bestie to Nesta. Thats pretty much it. Their fics are degrading, i’ll never forget the baby one. They always make Elain jealous over every female whether its gwyn or vassa - as a way to punish her because canon Elain isn’t doing what they want her to do.

the thing is - when you constantly have to see and deal with takes like these, it makes gwyn and nesta less likeable which is a disservice to their characters but most of their stans are the definition of insufferable. They have to mischaracterise Elain and Feyre for their stupid narrative. They want the house of gang and Vanserras to run this series but thank god Mass doesn’t share their delusions nor has indulged them.

its funny and slightly concerning but mainly - these peope get upset and throw fits over their own stupid assumptions. Not whats actually canon. Like Feyre never appreciating or acknowledging the hardwork Nesta did in the cabin, which was nevr clarified to be true. Istg anon, when I saw the whole “elain is horrible and I hate her because her gift is sight meaning she saw what Lucien went through yet is still choosing to be horrible towards him” WHERE TF DID YOU GET THAT FROM BECAUSE ITS CERTAINLY NO WHERE IN THE BOOKS. Like how are you going to hate a character for an assumption/theory you’ve literally just made up. Make it make sense.

you’ve literally said so many truths anon, most gwynriel/nesta stans are just draining.

But to answer your earlier point,

“I honestly don’t know what is worse Nesta stans or Gwyn/Azriel stans.”

Nesta stans 🤝 gwynriel stans

its not a coincidence that most Nesta Stans are gwynriels, 9/10 both go hand in hand.

Waffled - Another Shadow Milk Redemption One lol

Shadow Milk followed Pure Vanilla back to Crispia and found out being powerless, bored and influenceable makes you really bad at staying villainous.

Content: Non-Linear Short Stories & Art

Themes? Genres? Whichevers more correct: The chance for redemption, the autonomy required to become better, being granted the opportunity to make our own choices, the time needed to rehabilitate, the evolution of change

Premise Summary: After Pure Vanilla (Pv) became the Cookie of Deceit and accepted the "corrupted" Souljam it turns out the reason why it was turning from blue to white wasn't because he was losing his faith in the Truth, but because Shadow Milk (Smilk) had inadvertently given it some of his own powers, resulting in him becoming significantly weakened compared not only to just Pv's newly acquired awakening but also the Souljam's Smilk infused power he now held, causing Smilk to flee after his valiant effort. Once he notices that his tower is crumbling and Pv planning to leave he makes a very brash decision due to being emotionally raw and very angry; so he decides to follow Pv when they depart from Beast-Yeast so that he can potentially get a new opportunity in the future to regain his powers and get his revenge. Pv however knowing Smilk so intimately knows that him following them back home is incredibly likely and plans accordingly. That plan being to not return to the Vanilla Kingdom but instead lead him to the Cookie Kingdom with the intent of executing a friendship plan as an underhanded, sneaky redemption arc right under Smilk's nose, no matter how long it takes.

After a long, methodical process Smilk slowly recognizes that in this weakened condition on top of being surrounded and outnumbered means that he cannot get what he wants in the present moment, that scenario on its own makes any villainous plots difficult to execute. So with nothing else to do besides stare at Pv for more months he allows himself to get distracted by one inquisitive cookie, who seems to not be all that dissimilar from him fundamentally. But yk, this distraction and intrigue doesn't mean anything at all, obviously, he's toootally still planning on getting that souljam back and return his powers, thats fully on the agenda and it's frankly embarrassing you think that plan has just been dropped-- just uh, yk, it doesn't need to be right now, does it?

Predominant Characters: (Primary) Pure Vanilla, Shadow Milk, Strawberry Crepe (Supporting) Espresso, White Lily, Dark Cacao (Notable Mentions/Tertiary) Black Raisin, Candy Apple, Black Sapphire, Golden Cheese, Gingerbrave, Strawberry, Wizard + Frequent One Off Cameos

AU's Goals: Primarily a canon compliant/in character method for Smilk to be redeemed. Secondarily get Smilk and Strawberry Crepe in the same room together + Analysing Smilk's character when pushed and stretched. Tertiarily to get Smilk to interact with most of the other cookies.

Ships?: Yes and No, shipping is not canon compliant which goes against the main intention of the au, but for funsies I wanted to anyways so I have a tag for when the shipping is intended. The reader is never obligated to view any posts as either explicitly platonic or romantic, the tags are just for authorial intent; you can have your own opinion about it lol.

White Lily, Dark Cacao, Pure Vanilla, Shadow Milk-- all in a fun pile together :p

Will you roleplay?: I mean I never intended to, but I can dust off my roots if anyone wants me to, sounds fun; but it'll probably not be "canon". If anyone does I'll prob add a tag for it

Can I contribute in any way?: Sure lol, its not like I can stop anyone but if you're someone who needs permission this isn't like, my baby or anythin, I'm not gonna be mad if you want to create off my ideas lmao. Would be neat not to yap to myself though

Tags: #waffled au -> for the "main story" - #syrupy waffled au -> authorial intended shipping - #waffling waffled au -> if anyone else ever makes content I'll reblog it but I'll have super scathing comments beware /lh

Additional Comments: Read the tags if you want insight on how I'm thinkin lol-- Also I the op is heavily disordered and not the greatest of writers, so hopefully any mistakes don't ruin anythin for any o you

Also just to clear my own conscience, "Why do they look different/have a redesign? That's not very canon of you." Disregarding that I don't think havin new costumes automatically makes them incompatible w canon, I think it makes a better story to see their appearance change and evolve as they evolve, so I'm gonna do that-- which tbf would make it non compliant cause crk isnt a good story HA (/j ofc lol)

[saythatuwill]

now playing : doubt // twenty one pilots

going off of this post, tagging @majorcrimes just in case they're interested!

hello my friends, and welcome to another "sherry shares"! today we are not talking about my writing for a change, i want to INSTEAD talk about the TDOPOM era, specifically the music videos, and get into an old theory i have about them!!

the tdopom music videos were always a huge point of interest for me, especially when i initially got into bad omens but honestly? even now. when i started to realize there could be a proper concept and lore, i was hooked. (you have to understand, i'm a twenty one pilots fan.) BUT this was long BEFORE i even picked up the comics.

so here's my past theory and why i thought this could potentially be the story bad omens was trying to tell.

THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG ONE! SORRY! (i'm not sorry)

noah's presence in the videos always struck me as odd. in almost every single music video, he presented himself a certain way that felt oddly detached from every scenario he was in.

let's start with the title track music video, "the death of peace of mind". obviously, we now know this takes place in "the grey" art museum (according to the comics). but ignore all that. to someone who has no idea what the comics are, this is a strange... couple of locations.

one is a room with two soldiers, a couple, and hands holding out like, necklaces? or something? (i might have bad eyesight if anyone knows what the fuck they are). and during the breakdown, they all become guns. another, we see a room full of what appears to be body bags. and of course, the scene with the guy in the car, then in the water with flesh-eating creatures.

we see noah appear in a room similar to that of the one with the soldiers, which to me at the time implied that he is also present there, or was present before or after the event takes place. and if that's the case, it's odd that he is just... there. dressed in all black, standing there, doing his own thing.

we also see him standing in the middle of the body bag room. we see him in the beginning of the video in a turquoise lighting also. to me, i always believed that just based on noah's unusual presence, he was responsible for the way things were happening.

the room opened fire on those people? he orchestrated it. the body bag room? he was behind that. or perhaps he can somehow influence his environment? this was only FURTHER corroborated by the "like a villain" music video.

in the video, though it may just be a cool video thing, we see him in a city, and there are lights overhead that realistically should be casting light directly onto him but aren't. we see him in the snowy environment where a murder has taken place. we only ever see very limited glimpses of his facial features the entire time.

it's in THIS video that i actually begin to question something more along the lines of, perhaps, a "grim reaper" sort of presence. he exists where the dead exist, and simply finds the things humanity are capable of to be entertaining enough to spectate. it doesn't actually matter to him, and maybe that's where the ideology of "like a villain, i couldn't be, i didn't need it, it needed me" comes from.

of course he's like a villain. he didn't need to be a villain either, but if his presence is, let's just say, a bad omen, of course it "needed him". i eventually sort of come to the conclusion that the "grim reaper" concept AND the "influences his environment" concept could coexist.

"concrete jungle", the same concept. he exists, he is present, the environment around him is dangerous and chaotic. and the idea of "i'm the fucking king" leads me to also believe that he is well aware he is corrupting the environment around him! and he finds a thrill in it.

but, "nowhere to go" doesn't quite fit the mold, now does it? so what could there be in that video to suggest something in a similar vein to a "villain noah"? well, there's another thing to consider, right?

gee, noah sebastian. how come they let you have a duplicate?

why the fuck is there a SECOND noah? here is where, admittedly, my theory got a little wild. i want to take a minute to now acknowledge the futuristic dystopian feel of this universe, because this is where i start to question what M.I.N.D. is. the only main thing we know about M.I.N.D. comes from about two videos; the grey, and just pretend.

and with V.A.N i was sure i was onto something. there's a lot of artificial feels in here, technology, maybe even androids, or viruses.

let's talk about just pretend. in the video, we see noah who is notably much older, unless he's just been in that room for so long he looks really fucking aged. he is hooked up to machines that are simulating a reality where he is with a past lover. at some point, the machines start fucking up and what he is seeing becomes gorey, red-tinted, and toxic. this leads him to wake up and rip the wires off of him.

still with me? here's my crazy fucking thought; i think that just pretend and artificial suicide are happening at the same time. two noahs? two noahs. villain noah is one of them, and he is once more fucking with his environment. why? because HE'S A VIRUS.

IF THE WORLD OF CONCRETE JUNGLE were nothing more than a simulation created by M.I.N.D, of COURSE noah being a virus would fuck with his environment! here's why i think AS and JP happen at the same time.

in just pretend, we obviously have the issue where the system starts to malfunction and display darker images. in as, we see a lot of something that would be used to power that machine, don't we? the very same things that noah rips off himself in JP.

wires.

also, we have those beautiful in-betweens of THIS noah:

a very glitchy noah that appears to be coming in briefly, as if it's a malfunction of some sort. and of course, how could we forget?

red noah. i think the weird holes in the wall could be a foreshadowing to tdopom somehow in my theory (like the GUN ROOM yknow) but that might be a stretch. this unusual red noah only appears twice, but has a similar red presence to the gorey shit that goes on in the JP!noahs simulation.

i think AS!noah is the general TDOPOM noah, trying to wake his HUMAN SELF UP. ultimately though, as we see at the end of JP, this does not last long. i think in timeline order of this theory, AS/JP are the beginning of the story.

then, the grey is next, being the first solidified existence of our villain noah in the story. a presence projected on a screen in one of the districts. then he begins to "infect" the concrete jungle overtime, his presence alone being enough to cause death and destruction.

i think he also had something to do with how V.A.N was able to escape. like in a similar way to how noah fucks with technology in AS and JP, he was simply an invisible presence who was fucking with that environment also.

but that's just a theory! a... omens... theory? thanks for reading all this if u did, would love to hear your thoughts/theories as well!!

[cecoeur]

“I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to win.” Okay well that’s literally what the villain would say soooo like what else am I supposed to do with this?

[dykedvonte]

did you see the article wrong organ tweet abt an interview with the lead writer —>

https://t.co/5dcfeePkz3

The article really should honestly be read by people who try to make any of the characters actions black or white and ignore the other themes in the game. It specifically mentions these aspects that people try to make seem undebatable or uninterpretive and makes sure to use wording to say it can stem from multiple things and never confirm or deny anything.

I do remind people that the interviewer does not work for Wrong Organ so I am only using quotes and paraphrased statements rather than their own deductions as those should be taken with the same grain of salt of an analysis you see on twitter or tumblr and even my blog. They are still a subjective eye compared to Kasurinen’s direct statements.

Particularly pointing out that Jimmy, while deplorable, is still supposed to complex and his actions are not fueled by some comically sick amusement. And that Curly’s actions are not just rooted in one thing and not just rooted in rape culture but also include other social and systemic factors besides the shallow idea he’s just dick riding for his friends. It’s meant to be interpretative and I need to point out that the main writer says that “good intentions mean nothing when it’s gotten that bad”. A lot of people like to think Curly was only acting with intentions for himself or Jimmy when it’s was a misguided attempt at overall peace that ultimately failed and whatever processes behind that are to be nitpicked, not if he was acting out or malice or disregard.

I wish more was talked about specifically with Anya, Daisuke and Swansea but I understand why they weren’t as Curly’s actions/inactions pre-crash and Jimmy’s actions throughout all segments are the main impactful forces in the game. People should really read it for themselves but sit on this quote directly from the main writer:

Wwait wait wait. so. There’s people who genuinely hate Harumi but love Morro? Do people not realise they are literally the same except for the fact that Rumi manipulated Lloyd for a bit while Morro just straight up possessed him? What

I think it’s odd when people say that Azriel loves Nesta when that’s not the truth. He understands her and likes her. He is friendly with her - but he doesn’t love her. There are so many fics in which he leaves the night court with Nesta and ends up gwyn. But in canon he will always be loyal to the inner circle and elain. He loves Elain, Rhys, Feyre, Cassian, Mor and Amren - they are his family.

I don’t know where this idea came from that he is resentful of Rhys or the IC. Yeah, he disagrees with Rhys. He has fights with him. But they are brothers. Rhys even said that he felt closer to Azriel than Cassian. Azriel is probably his closest friend besides Mor and Feyre. I think many people forget that Rhys literally sacrificed himself for the IC. Rhys would do anything for Azriel. For nearly 50 years, Rhys endured torture for his family. No way would Azriel just abandon him, especially for Nesta.

If Azriel does end up leaving the night court it would be because of elain - she’s the only one who could ever push him into leaving his family. No one else. And elain, despite Cassian’s opinion of her in black and her love of gardening, won’t leave the night court either. People seem to forget that elain’s family is also in the night court. She loves her sisters and nephew. There’s no way she’ll simply up and leave. Maybe they’ll visit other courts but the night court is their home.

Personally I think this idea stems from the desire for Rhys to be this evil awful villain. Either he is so bad that Azriel needs to escape him and so goes off with gwyn and Nesta to a new court. Or Rhys is so evil for keeping Azriel and elain apart - but in reality if Rhys genuinely knew that Azriel loved elain, he would be supportive. The only reason he wouldn’t be supportive is if Azriel’s relationship with elain threatened Feyre, nyx, or the night court - but even then he would probably try to figure something out because he loves Azriel.

Azriel loves the IC and elain. Elain loves Feyre, Nesta, and nyx. Ain’t no way they would ever leave for good. And ain’t no way Azriel would ever choose anyone (except elain) over the ic, especially Rhys.

I agree anon, Azriel doesn’t love love Nesta, he may understand her and he definitely likes her- they give platonic sibling vibes but I dont see him ever putting Nesta before his family of centuries.

Rhys and Az may not be on the best terms, but he was literally holding Nyx by the end of acosf. They’re brothers in the end, family by choice. Both love each other so much and would do anything for each other. Az wouldn’t leave his home because of an disagreement w Rhys.

you’re so right anon, only Elain could push Az to leave but she literally calls the NC her home. She’s made friends and found a place for herself there. I don’t see her leaving either.

I also think it stems from people wanting the “house of wind” gang to now be the centre of attention instead of the inner circle. They want to books to focus on Nesta getting back at Rhys and feyre for how they “treated” and “used” her - Az is unfortunately part of that gang. Which usually entails, Nesta leaving taking Cass and Az with her - basically have the inner circle, to a whole new court where she’ll rule. Ridiculous right?

Elriel are family coded. They love their family and wont ever leave and if they leave - it’ll be only for each other. No one else.

My theory for why Dr Hemlock’s hand is always hurting is that he’s a beginner crocheter who hasn’t learned how to properly hold his tension yet. The glove is a compression glove

Okay, so I know we all hate him, but Mahito is a legitimately brilliant villain...
