DOC OCT TIME SKSKSK

BaCkStoRy:

Dr. Octavia Otto was a researcher at OSCORP. She was one of the few people working for Norman Osborne himself, trying to find a cure to his super secret sickness I don't have yet 😀

She was working on crossing animal or animal and human DNA to find cures and things that could help the body heal itself. After an experiment goes wrong, she is suddenly mutated‼️‼️

She mostly has the power of different breeds of octopuses, since it's what she was working with most at the time as you can see her skin turned a mustard yellow with brown and blue spots, which is based off of the Blue Ringed Octopus!

After the mutation she went into deep hiding trying to figure out wtf was wrong with her. Once she has her powers more under control she goes back to OSCORP to tell them her discoveries, only for Norman to steal her work, fake her death and take her to get experimented on.

Some shit happens and she has a whole morally grey villian arch. She's not good but she helps Bug-Boy time to time (very rarely)

HER POWERS!!!!!!

So like an octopus, she can change her skin (and clothes) to camouflage into her souroundings, she basically comes invisible.

Sometimes, (she hasn't figured out why or how) her skin releases an almost slime type of goo. It's very toxic, and make you almost deathly sick if it gets in your body. She was able to isolate it and make it into a serum, which her claw things can inject you with

She can grow extra limbs but it takes a lot of energy so she normally uses it to heal herself

It's not exactly a power, but after the mutation she became a lot more crafty (?). She can figure out puzzles and plans a lot more. She's litteraly able to get out of tight and small spots more.

One downside to her mutation, is she gets like really bad eyesight. She Litteraly can't see inches from her face. She's also now color blind, so she made glasses which are based both off of Dr Octavia from SitSV and Toby Miguire Doc Oct, but they work like color blind glasses and help her see+see color

This is all for now again thanks for letting me rant pff-

Transformer Prime Theory: The Optics

It’s interesting how, in TFP, the characters all have a variety of optics sizes and shapes, instead of everyone having plain solid colours like in G1 and most other continuities. And I personally believe there is some more biological reasons why some of these optics look the way they are (some big, some small, some solid colours and others not, and some having rings and others not).

TW: starvation mention.

THEORY #1:

The size of the optics is determined by how well fed and healthy the transformer is.

Firstly, we can see that most Transformers with big optics are Decepticons, who we always know have more Energon mines and supplies than the Autobots.

Secondly. Megatron has a big optic that take over the entire frame, and he is totally someone who would have a feast himself first before feeding his subjects. On the contrary Optimus have one of the smallest optic in the show, probably because, unlike Megatron, he would only eat himself when he knows his subjects are well fed. (Poor Optimus)

Thirdly, Breakdown and Bulkhead also have some of the biggest optics in their teams. Breakdown is one of the few in the show whose optics are complete solid colors, and, although Bulkhead’s optics are not solid colours, or completely take over the frame, they are still much bigger than most other Autobots. This is probably because they are both the muscles of the team so they must have been fed more so that they can be stronger and fight better. (Cliffjumper might have been one, too, because he also got a huge optic, but we never hang around him enough to know for sure)

Fourthly: Bumblebee also got big optics, probably because he is the youngest Autobot, and is probably still growing in a way, so everyone would want to make sure he got enough nutrients to grow up big and healthy.

Fifthly: I think this is the best proof of all. So throughout the show Starscream’s optics are always quite big and round (though it is not always obvious in bright lightings).

(“Partner”, Season 1 Episode 20)

However, in the Orion Episode, while Starscream was sneaking into the Nemisis to steal energons, his optics suddenly fill the whole frame

(“Orion Pax Part One”, Season 2, Episode 2)

This is likely because, since Starscream had gone rogue at this point, and we know that in “Rock Bottom” (Season One Episode 19) Starscream has been hiding energons for himself, perhaps Starscream hasn’t yet learned how to manage supplies sustainably on his own, and quickly drained his resources that he’s hide for himself before. Thus, more energons in the eyes. That’s probably also why he has taken the risk to go back to the Nemisis to steal Energon cause he was out of it already. He was living feast or famine at this point.

Now, there are some bugs in this theory, such as why Knockout have such a small pupil despite not having any reasons to starve. However, knowing Knockout and his obsession with his appearance, I believe he would totally put himself on a diet to look even more fabulous. I don’t think Transformers can really gain weight from Energons, though, at least not in the way we think, but Knockout could also just love the look of a small optic and think it fits his beauty, so he starved himself to achieve that.

One question you might have for the theory, “But it has been going around that Ratchet starve himself to save the supplies for the others, but his optics are big?” Now. Ratchet, I believe, is a different situation, which leaves us to theory #2.

THEORY #2:

The ring around the optic signify how intensely the optic was used.

Firstly, like mentioned above, Ratchet have a special optic: his centeral pupil itself is pretty small, similiar size with Optimus’s, but it got a big ring around it, making it look big. Now I think the ring have nothing to do with how well fed the Transformer is, like the theory above, it is there to supply more Energon to the function of the optic, and making it sharper basically. Knockout also have one, probably for the same reason as Ratchet.

Secondly: Bumblebee also have one. Understandable. He is the scout, he need to look afar a lot.

Thirdly: if you look closely you can see that Optimus got these colorless, metal ring around his optic, too, which no one else have, but it doesn’t have Energon in them. This is probably because he probably used to have them, as Orion Pax, who was an archives working in front of computers all the time. But over the years of not using it in the same way as much as the Prime, Energons left the ring and left the area, leaving the empty ring behind.

Now, there goes my theories and how I think the optics works, kind of. There is still a lot that I am still working on and might make another post off in the future, such as why some of them had a white ring/circle in their optics (I don’t think white rings work the same as blue rings, cause Bulkhead have a white ring but he doesn’t have any reasons to need good vision more than others.) and why their optics are different colors.

I hoped you enjoy this

[elegy-if]

For the very first time in years, you’re met with the scent of fresh air. No antiseptic, no lingering smell of blood, still so thick you can practically taste it at just the memory of it. You’re not going back if it kills you. Which it very well might.

DEMO: LINK (UPDATED DECEMBER 8TH, 2023.)

Nemisi is an 18+ modern horror/romance/urban fantasy interactive novel WIP. Play as a customizable MC, who’s on the run from Vicelie Labs.

The struggle between cosmic deities — now worshiped (or abhorred) as gods — tore its way into your planet not long before you were born. Unluckily for you, you were one of the first generations to be born exposed to Excinate, the name given to the radioactive-like sickness that comes from being exposed to magic not of your world. As your symptoms slowly got worse and worse, you were promptly ripped from your family after a doctor’s visit ushered on by your concerned parents. Since then, you’ve been shipped around and transported from facility to facility to be poked and prodded at.

Until now. No, now you’re free.

Aside from that lingering hunger for flesh you’ve had since becoming infected, of course. Just a little side effect from the radiation, along with a mouthful of jagged teeth and a jaw that can unhinge like a snake.

THE CAST:

Refs for RO skin tones can be found here!

Felix (he/she, bigender + bisexual): Curt, blunt, and too tired to deal with this mess, Felix really had no reason to suspect the lab next to gas station he works night shifts at had anything to hide. It’s not like the screams he heard coming from that direction were anything more than some kids messing around late at night, right? Besides, she'd met some of the employees of Vicelie Labs, and aside from the occasional lingering scent of blood, they seemed like just fine people. 

Okay, so maybe she did have a sneaking suspicion something was up. Not like he could do anything about it. Not until you show up, at least, crashing through the gas station door in such a tizzy you’d nearly run into it.

Tall and lanky, Felix often has a scowl spread across her face. He has tawny brown skin, dark brown eyes, and poorly bleached hair with quite a bit of jet black root growth. His hair is styled into a shaggy wolf cut, and of course one can’t forget the shitty stubble she’s refused to shave since it grew in. Felix has a body that might often be described as scrawny, or perhaps even gangly. A strong gust of wind could knock him over. Felix is most often seen in casual clothes; hoodies, band shirts, and jeans make up the majority of her wardrobe. Has several piercings; a bridge, septum, both nostrils, snake bites, and two eyebrow piercings side by side. She stands at 5’11” tall. Felix is trans no matter what. He will always use both he and she pronouns interchangeably. Please do not use they/them to refer to her.

Dr. Eden Neal (gender selectable, M/F/NB): Kind, but awkward. A doctor who didn’t know what they were getting into when applying for a job with Vicelie Labs. Fresh out of med school, the harsh reality of the labs was too much for them. They were assigned to examine you, and though it was hard to trust them at first (and even now) they were essential in your escape. 

While Eden seems to be a kind soul, your bitter side can’t help but wonder if their assistance in your escape was some cruel joke.

Combined with their soft, rounded features, Eden’s dark hair is in long braids, often pulled back out of their face into a ponytail. They have large golden brown eyes with thick eyelashes, and their skin is a deep brown, with a hint of a cool undertone. More soft than muscle, though they still have some tone and definition to their arms and back. It’s not easy work lifting and moving those heavy vats around the lab, after all. Eden is most typically seen in a lab coat, though they lean a bit more business casual once they start meeting up with you for check-ins after your escape. They stand at 5’4”, regardless of gender. Eden is black, with dark skin.

Sable (gender selectable, M/F/NB): A bit of an outcast, Sable is an extremely shy mortician, and one of your (limited) options for getting the flesh you so desperately crave. They spot you sneaking into the morgue one night, half lucid and drunk with the need for blood and flesh on your tongue. They offer to cut a deal with you — they’ll give you all the scraps and leftovers that they can get away with, so long as you give them any information you’ve picked up about the consequences of using cosmic magic. 

Are they seeking power, or just simply curious about the consequences of magic from a biological standpoint?

Sable is one of the tallest RO’s, standing at 6’2” regardless of gender. They have a bright shock of long, curly ginger hair, and their near ghostly pallor is covered in freckles and beauty marks. Most notably, they have beauty marks to the right of their bottom lip, as well as underneath their left eye. They have a long, roman nose with a prominent bridge and blue eyes. Their body is on the heavier side, with a soft stomach and thick thighs. Sable doesn’t dress to impress as they’re mostly surrounded by dead bodies, typically wearing neutral colored slacks and skirts. They occasionally spice things up with an interesting vest or tie, but are much too scared to stand out to do so often. They have circle glasses. Sable is plus size, with a pear shaped figure.

Eris (gender selectable, M/F/NB): A hired killer, and the only other option you have for sating your hunger besides Sable. You meet Eris as you’re hiding away from Vicelie Labs in Eden's apartment, drawn to the smell of blood from them finishing up one of their “contracts” in the apartment next door. It’s a mess of guts and gore, and you can’t stop yourself from indulging. After a moment of awareness, you go to turn tail and run, only to find Eris still there. They have an offer for you — they’ll kill for you, and you can have at their fresh meat. Certainly an offer that’s hard to pass up, considering your current predicament.

Perpetually masked, you’re actually not certain what Eris looks like behind it. From what you can see, they’re very sturdy. All you can see besides their build is their hair, occasionally peeking out from beneath their hood. It falls to Eris’ wide shoulders, and from what you’ve seen is a dark brown. They stand at 6'0" tall, regardless of gender.

???: You’ve only heard of them in passing at the lab — someone who goes after rogue assets, like you. According to Eden, they’re after you, and with a vengeance.

Good luck.

[my-pjo-stuff]

Y’know I’ve been wondering something. And I had to ask you this but

Considering that Ethan wanted his mother to be just as known as the other olympians, had his eye removed as a sign of I guess respect to his mother- had the case been that Luke knew about it (which is quite possible)

Do you think that Luke, even if he hates the gods so much, made an ‘exception’ for Nemesis or at least tried to hold back just for Ethan?

Personally I always assumed Luke knew about it, but wouldn't have been able to do anything about it considering how Nemesis is their ally.

As much as he may hate the gods (all of them, if you ask me), we will have to remember that he is the head of an active revolutionary force going against literal deities. He can't afford to lose a valuable ally in Nemisis. It's a classic case of "I do not like you, but I like this other guy even less so we have to suck it up ig". So yes, I do think Luke "made an expectation" for Nemesis in the sense that he did not directly fight against her or was overly hostile. Not for Ethan but simply for tactics and strategy.

Said it once and I'll say it again- you can't ignore Luke's position and the fact that revolutions are never a clean affair. The guy has to be smart about this.

[mychlapci]

Tarn's Refineries are legendary. Not only did he flash the Decepticon HC with his big naturals his production is record breaking. He's not only easily feeding his tinny purple jet (thank frag there aren't many autobot fliers), he's having to pump damn near constantly. He cant go back to working down the List because he's just become the main fuel source on the Nemisis. Feed him high quality fuel, and he'll produce enough to feed most of the crew.

He's so touchy about it. He's sore, grumpy, his tits hurt, and they bairly fit in his chassis. But at least his Lord wants to keep him close.

Starscream's hunt for the baby daddy continues testing the cna of every Flyer in the Decepticon airforce.

Milky Tarn... his tits are so huge, he literally needs to postpone his DJD antics because he cannot risk having his leaky tits popping out of his chest plates in front of 'Cons he's trying to intimidate.

Stupid baby. He still can't believe that thing came out of him and completely ruined his body like this.

[transingthoseformers]

The MegOP Children are luring their parents together during the return swap then magnatizing to both. Megatron and Optimus are finding them glued together by their children. Who wont let go of them.

Megatron, trying to work out how detach his spawn without seting off a cacophony: Holding your creators hostage to get your own way is very Deceptacon of you, but now is not the time or place.

Optimus, giving Megs the stank optic: And you've learned the Autobot lesson of Teamwork very well but it's time to let go of your sires and come home.

Kup, chewing on an unlit cygar: Well now I don't feel as bad over being outwited by a bunch of sparklings.

Starscream, with three technicolor seekerlets hanging off of him: Aww their first plot is so precious. Looks like you need to move in with Prime and need to leave the running of the Nemisis to me Lord Megatron.

Rung, who deserves to show up and who has actualy raised sparklings: If I may make a proposal. It might be in the best intrest of all the bitties if we make a joint base on neutral ground. Neither ship is sparkling proofable. And the newsparks will be less distressed if they have access to at least one of their creator's sparks at all time. Co-parenting may be the only option for any meaningful attempts to identify the culprit to get underway.

Ultra Magnus, looking at Tarn in resignation: It might be wise to begin drafting a proposal for standards of decorum in a hypothetical joint base while we wait for this to resolve.

Tarn, eying the tangle of the faction leaders and their children with a sigh: That seems... prudent. At least untill fueling time.

Sddfhui YES

They have mastered both the arts for the sake of family

Kup is righttttt

sTARSCREAM OF COURSE. Of course he wants to wiggle this into a plan to become the leader of the decepticons with his heirs

Rung does deserve to show up because he's gonna help so many of them navigate everything ever but also be an extra doctor on board

Also oooo "and has actually raised sparklings" ????

Mags is right, he's so tired but he's right, as is tarn

[myfaveisfuckable]

Harry Kim:

He is sooo deranged, bestie! Like, you meet him and he seems like a normal guy, a model Starfleet ensign, just a sweet little golden boy who plays the clarinet or whatever. But then you actually hang out with him for extended periods of time and he jumps at any opportunity to martyr himself (not that that's not at least 30% of the ship's crew but whatever) and is like five bad minutes away from hitting you with a metal pipe (he's mostly not violent or anything but if push comes to shove, he won't hesitate bitch!) and like... he at one point tells Naomi (born on Voyager while it was stuck in the Delta quadrant (and literally died immediately in an alternate timeline in which Harry also died and was replaced by the now living Harry who also brought Naomi to the new timeline, everyone else on board in the old timeline was killed violently and had their organs harvested) and grew up there for the first couple years of her life) that she was so lucky to get to grow up on Voyager, literally the omen of doom of the Delta quadrant that has like ten disasters a week, might never be able to go home and where, again, both he and Naomi had literally died before (multiple times in his case) and that he's jealous of her life. And yes, he did literally mean it which is. What??? My guy!! What are you saying!! He's so fucking wild lmao love him

Perry:

Well you look at him and go 'huh, he's a platypus, they don't do much' and then look away and HES GONE and your like 'where's perry' and you don't see him for the rest of the episode BECAUSE HE IS OFF FIGHTING CRIME / HIS BEST NEMISIS (it's a cool relationship) and HE LITTERALLY SAVES THE DAY AND DESTROYS EVIL IN A FUNNY WAY and then comes home and your like 'oh there's perry he doesn't do much and he cares about his job of saving the world so much that even when he takes the day off to watch mushy soap operas he STILL GOES TO MAKE SURE HIS NEMISIS GETS BEATED because he can't bare the thought of his nemisis having to fight a substitute agent.

(Question comes from this post by @pancake-breakfast . My other answers are linked in my pinned post.)

2. Compare and contrast the jealousy Wamawink displays for Jeffica with the jealousy Horse displays for Becky Apples.

So I think I first wanna talk about both of those things individually before I compare them. Starting with Wammawink’s feelings:

By the end of S1E8 we see that Wammawink is convinced she liked Sunfish Merguy for his personality (she claims „that’s what I get for liking someone for their personality“). However she barely knew him and very much objectified him throughout the entire episode (portraited him in a way that better fit her own preferences when we see in the drawing she made for Horse that she is very much capable of drawing people „realistically“, overly sexualizes Mertaurs in general). She then is upset that he already has a girlfriend and starts comparing herself to Jeffica, becoming jealous because she feels Jeffica is superior. She remains jealous throughout the entire rest of the show and displays great hatred for Jeffica, whom she doesn’t even know beyond looks. Wammawink also doesn’t like any of her friends to interact with Jeffica, as we see when she gets angry at Ched for having a massage appointment with Jeffica (S1E9).

In S2E4 Comfortable Doug tells Horse about Becky Apples. It is worth noting that Comfortable Doug exaggerates when he talks about her, telling Horse that Rider and Becky Apples „ride across the battlefield as one“, when in reality they don’t get along super well. However Horse barely seems to need his exaggerations to immediatly get jealous at Becky Apples and upset with Rider. In her court hearing with the Moletaurs she wonders if Becky Apples is hot, which always struck me as a little weird because that’s something you might wonder if you’re betrayed sexually/romantically and not usually when you best friend might have a new friend. (Does Horse maybe want more with Rider?) Anyway, in the hearing Horse also gets extremely angry and aggressive towards innocent bystanders because she thinks Becky Apples is undermining her relationship with Rider. Horse very quickly spirals to saying „Love is a lie“ and running away crying.

In comparison, we see that both Horse and Wammawink have very intense emotional reactions to finding out about Becky Apples / Jeffica. However that seems to be the only uniting factor. For Wammawink it’s about a romantic relationship while for Horse it’s (as far as we know) about a friendship. For Wammawink it’s about a crush on a guy she barely knew who is already in a long, loving relationship while for Horse it’s about her lifelong best friend potentially replacing her with someone new. Both of them overreact for oposing reasons: Wammawink barely knows Sunfish Merguy. She has no reason to feel betrayed by him having a girlfriend. Horse on the other hand has known Rider her whole life. She should have faith that Rider will not just replace her on a whim and is also a bit of a hypocrite, seeing as she made tons of new friends in Centaurworld, but flips as soon as it seems like Rider makes one new friend in the human world.

If anything, Horse should feel sympathy for Jeffica and Wammawink should feel sympathy for Becky Apples. They are both in the position of each other’s „nemisis“ (Horse in an established relationship with Rider, just like Jeffica is with Sunfish Merguy, and Wammawink being the „new person“ that Sunfish Merguy got to know a bit, just like Becky Apples is for Rider). They could realize that Becky Apples is about as likely to replace Horse as Wammawink was to replace Jeffica, and that instead of feeling entitled to date Sunfish Merguy Wammawink should respect his relationship just like Becky Apples should with Rider. (Which, to be clear, she already does. Becky Apples is actually not at all interested in getting in between Rider and Horse, which makes Horse’s reaction all the more unreasonable.) At least Wammawink and Horse both agree that their hatred towards Jeffica / Becky Apples isn’t helpful or healthy at the end of their duet.

Second Book Summary time ! (Exile)

Kidnapped, drugged, nearly killed -> my girl is still only twelve. No wonder she’s so traumatized

Migraines and sensitive to bright lights but at least she can communicate telepathically with her crush who is a lil bit older (I still feel weird about their age gap)

The Council instructs a 12 year old to train a unique horse that is one of the last of its kind. Why are you putting so much pressure on this girl ?? Also congratulations to Sophie for proving Horse Girls Are vital to elven society to help provide hope.

WHY DID ALDEN THINK IT WAS WISE TO TAKE A 12 YEAR OLD TO SEE ELVEN PRISON? ANS HAVE HEE BE HIS ANCHOR OR WHATEVER?? WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS DUDE?

Fitz please why are you blaming her and not THE FATHER THAT CHOSE TO MAKE HIS ANCHOR A 12 YEAR OLD CHILD WHO IS NEW TO THE ELVEN WORLD IN GENERAL

“Blames Sophie for not saving his father” respectfully Fitz, I get that your grieving and stuff. But again THIS IS A BABY, BABY FACE ALL AROUND, WHY ARE YOU BLAMING HER

Ah yes, the real reason she’s the horse girl bc she has alicorn dna.

Side note, I wonder if she’s watched my little pony?

Why is the council out to get this girl 😭 is she not protected by “Good Samaritan Law” or whatever??

Wheezing at how Councilor Brontë is described as Sophie’s Nemesis. Could you imagine being ancient and having your nemisis be a preteen girl? I would quit

[blitheringmcgonagall]

2, 16 for Lily!

Thank you @slitheringghost☺️☺️

2 When I think I truly started to like them (or dislike them, if you've sent me a character I don't like)

Ha! From the very start! I frankly LOVE the idea of this teenager who is reportedly cheeky and popular and has a hot temper, and takes zero bullshit from this good-looking, confident jock who clearly thinks he’s God’s gift? The guy doesn’t have a clue how to deal with her at all (I mean she didn’t even seem remotely impressed by his throwing and REPEATEDLY CATCHING that stolen snitch!? At all?!

Add in that she’s from a discrimated against minority to boot, while big-headed jock is the opposite and I am ALL OVER THIS!! (Of course James isn’t an idiot, he’s very smart which fyi is extremely hot in my book, and we all know he’s brave and can be very supportive and kind and saves his nemisis etc so ofc when he deflates his head a bit I can completely see why she likes him 🙄🤣!)

16 A Childhood headcanon

Petunia and Lily were close as young sisters. Lily was cleverer than her sister; she was funnier, more lively, as Italians would put it - more simpatica! And this was hard on Tuney. In a way, at least when Lily disappeared to Hogwarts she got more attention from her parents which she craved. But parents always wrote to Lily, were overjoyed when she came home and Mr Evans was a bit like Arthur Weasley when it came to Wix - he was endlessly fascinated by them and never really got the hang of any of it.

But Tuney missed her, despite the ambivalence - when Lily returned home from Hogwarts on year very lucky to be alive after an attack by wannabe mini Death Eaters on the train, she spent the next few weeks cleaning the house from top to bottom, which Lily recognised as her sister’s coping strategy for when she was very stressed 🥺❤️

[seepweed]

oh tigs i am a staunch defender of merlin... i watched it when i was like 10 when it was reairing on cbbc so it was right place, right time for me... you just gotta take it for what it is which is that it's a family tv show which, when you're not a child, is very camp that's played mostly straight and you gotta ignore the really bad cgi and focus on the dynamics and politics which i think is the most interesting bits. the uther arc in the late series is so fucking good.... anyway ily hi <33

noooo please danny DX

the show is so bad. like. SO bad. don't get me wrong, though!

i am definitely intrigued by the dynamic of the clumsy page boy (who uses this image as a cover to not get. literally executed.) and his loving bestie who is also clumsy, but in social situations (gwen) and her superior who thinks she's just some girly plagued by vividly scaring nightmares bc the only people that know better lie to her (partly to protect her and partly. idk just because?) and HER arch nemisis, the jock who is going to be the heir of this kingdom that executes part of their socity bc "idk something happened but dont get me wrong, we're the good guys". it IS really interesting

but like. coming back to the politics because i am not over the fact that they established a kingdom where "fantasy discrimination" is a core part of their believe system (magician's r evil). they adhere to this belief, they execute people of said "minority", the king (read: ruler) has a direct say in who gets executed (every magician) and nobody can challenge the ruler's believes (even morgana, one of his closest fellows fails to change his beliefs throughout season 1), this is all because some magician's hurt him in the past or whatever AND THEN this show introduces THE MAIN CHARACTER "merlin" as like this "really cool really powerful sorcerer and he can like. to tons of cool shit" but they follow that with "yeah and he is under the threat of being killed by the oppressive system in place at any given moment, WHICH THEY SOMETIMES PLAY FOR LAUGHS??? and then they let him become extremely affiliated with the system (representative: arthur - who at least seems to be able to change his mind about magic troughout season 1) AND THEN. THEY INTRODUCE SOME FUCKING 8 YEAR OLD IN ONE OF THE EPISODES THAT *LOOKS* LIKE THE MAIN CHARACTER THAT *IS UNDER THREAT OF EXECUTION BC OF HIS MAGIC LIKE THE MC* AND THEN THEY HAVE *THE MC ARGUE PRO KILLING THE KID BC OTHERWISE HIS ARTHUR (REP. OF OPRESSIVE SYSTEM) MAY GET HURT IN THE FUTURE.*

what the actual fuck?

also yeah did they not have any money for the cgi? anyways hi danny!!!!! ily too i'm so happy to hear from you again! i may have thoughts on this show later on. might elaborate :O hope that's ok...

[papergold-hearts]

One of the things I like about this ship is the obsession in their dynamics, at least on Flug's part is canon.

Having a box of "unpleasant" with many photos of Goldheart and other notebooks that I don't know if that is about his nemesis too.

They haven't even shown if Flug has many photos of Cecilia as Goldheart, just one.

The fact that he forgot the Goldheart's box exists seems to me to have been the influence of Black Hat, like so much other things, since it seems that he controls his memories at his convenience, especially his past with Goldheart and Miss heed, and wow a coincidence that they seem to be the people who disappointed him most.

It's already known that Flug loved Cecilia a lot, but what about Flug to Goldheart? Did he ever want it?

When there is such intense hate, there must be a good feeling that existed, don't you think?

This is when I ask... Goldheart will feel that obsession too? or at least he had an obsession with Flug? Cares about him? It reminds me a little bit of Batman and the Joker, at least this ship is canon in a one-sided way, for the obsession with sexual tension that Joker has towards Batman in a sick way in so much comics and games.

So personally I think he would enjoy Flug's obsession as opposed to Miss Heeds. The reason for this is I see Goldheart being in Joker in this relationship because he needs Flug more than Flug needs Goldheart. I mean how useful is a hero without a villain? Both Joker and Goldheart enjoy the attention, the game, and the rewards that come from the battles with their rival. Yet we all know that Batman and Dr.Flug would be happier if they were gone. (At least before Flug and Goldheart started dating)

Goldheart also has a hero complex and wants to rid the world of villainy. So what would be a better accomplishment than having the your main nemisis, the Joker to your Batman, turn good. In away it would justify his obsession even more because in the end, Goldheart was right, he could end villainy.

Overall I think Goldheart would justify his obsession as normal because their arch-enemies and it's Goldhearts job to save Dr.Flug. While with Miss Heed, her obsession would make him feel uncomfortable because she's only wants him for the prestige, not because they have a connection like him and Flug.

Hades 2: Information, Speculation and Wishes

So, last night at the game awards we got a trailer for Hades 2 and i have been looking through the trailer several times trying to find every scrap of information in there, and now i am gonna share it with everyone. When i am done with that i will be doing some speculation on what this might mean and then i will talk about some stuff i would love to see.

First of all let’s talk about the new characters. According to the games steam page the player character is Melinoë, and in the mythology she is the daughter of Persephone and Zeus, and she has some connections to Hecate the goddess of witchcraft. We know from the trailer credits that Hecate will be in the game, and we can safely assume that she is the trainer character whom Melinoë refers to as Headmistress. First of all, Melinoë is a witch and it would make sense if her trainer was the goddess of witchcraft. Secondly: Hecate was often described as a three headed goddess, and while it would seem like the Headmistress only has one head, you can see two heads, one on each shoulder, but we don’t know if they are real or decorative at the moment. Then there is Moros, the embodiment of doom, and Nemisis, the goddess of vengeance, both of whoom are children of Nyx and Erebus thus making them siblings of Thanatos and Hypnos from the first game. The first boon we see comes from Apollo, the god of music, the sun and Medicine, but all of the boons we see in the trailer are damage focused and seem to have a sun theme. We also seem to have this games version of Dusa aka Dora, who i assume to be Pandora like how Dusa was Medusa. And of course there is the big bad of the game Chronos/Cronos. Now these are tehcnicly two different figures, Chronos is the god of time, and Cronos is a titan, the god of harvests and the father of Hades, Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Poseidon, Hades and Zeus. Long story short he swallowed his children but then he got killed by Zeus and locked up inside of Tartarus. It would seem that the game has combined the 2, Hades refers to him as a titan, which Chronos wasn't, and he is locked op both of which point to Cronos. But then Hades also calls him “time itself” and we hear clockwork in the background which indicates a time connection, thus drawing upon Chronos. To be fair it is fairly common to combine the 2 into one as they have very similar names and this simplifies things. Now let’s get on to the speculation.

First of all i have an idea of what the story will be. At the very end of the trailer Melinoë says “Wait for me father. I will be there soon.”, and since her father is Zeus this would seem to indicate she is trying to reach Zeus. However we can also see Melinoë tell Hecate that she will “slay the titan yet” so she is gonna try to kill Cronos. This makes me think of  2 possibilities, either Cronos has captured Zeus and Melinoë wants to save her father, or in order to leave the underworld she has to kill Cronos, possibly as a test from Hades. In the trailer Hades sounds worried while talking about Cronos, stating “Time can’t be stopped” which makes me think the first possibility is the most likely. Nemesis does say that she wished to receive “the task” from some one only referred to as she in one of the screenshots from the steam page. This would indicate the task to kill Cronos would have come from Hecate. It also indicates that both Nemesis and Melinoë are being trained by Hecate, and given that she is refereed to as Headmistress i think we can assume some sort of school setting. And for the last bit of speculation, since we have both Moros and Nemesis i think we can probably expect some expansion on the Nyx & Erebus household / family dynamic, at the very least between those two but maybe also some references to Hypnos and Thanatos.

And here are my personal wishes. First of all i really hope we get to see Hestia in this game, she is my favorite Greek deity and i think it would be cool if she was in the game, maybe giving a self-healing based boon-set. Then, since we have Apollo i really hope we get Artemis back, i really like her depiction in the first game and i would love to see how the studio handles her relationship with Apollo. I also hope we get Hypnos and Thanatos back. Hypnos is one of my fave Greek gods, and his dynamic with Thanatos in the first game was really well handled but i just want to see more of it, specifically i would like to see Thanatos not being a complete jerk to his twin brother who really deserves better. There are also some Greek heroes i would like to see. First of all there are two of Apollos former lovers of Apollo, Hyacinth and Daphne (all though in Daphnes case the word lover is really that fitting. Daphne was a nymph who didn’t want Apollos infection and turned into a tree before he could kiss her. Hyacinth was a much more willing lover of Apollo, but sadly got killed by the jealous wind god Zenyth who threw a discus at him and so Apollo turned him into a hyacinth flower. I think these two could function like Patrolcus did in the first game, the dead lovers of Apollo where Patrolcus was the lover of Achilles. Then i would love to see Jason, mainly because i want to beat the shit out of him for how he treated his wife Medea (long story, basically she carried his ass to get him the golden skin and then he decided to dump her for another princess so he could become king but promised he would still keep her as a mistress). Speaking of, given the games witch theme i would be shocked if neither Medea or Circe showed up, since they are both famous witches from Greek mythology. And at last i hope they add Odysseus, i love that clever scoundrel.

In an AU where everything was normal, what would the ROs be doing? Would they more or less keep the same jobs or go down a different path?

interesting question!!

SO I do think the majority of them would be in the same position. Sable and Eden would be, at least. They're both genuinely passionate about their jobs, though Eden would Not be working at an evil lab LOL. They'd be off working in a normal hospital, but sadly in this setting Vicelie Labs took control of the normal hospitals with the promise that they were "keeping the people safe" from the anomalies, as they so affectionately call MC and others like them. Government backing certainly helped assure people of their claims, though there are obviously some groups of people against it.

As for Felix... hm. There are still colleges in Nemisi, and Felix was planning on attending one but for Reasons can't afford to anymore. I imagine she'd be an English major just to appease her family. While he plays the bass in Nemisi anyways, I can definitely see him wanting to be in a band instead if he could support that lifestyle, much to his parents chagrin. And I'm sure that English degree might come in handy with songwriting too :-)

As for ??? and Eris, that's a bit too backstory spoiler heavy to delve into! Sorry.

Getting more visions of the scientist peter au

Miles and Johnny are definitely in the spiderman fan club, no matter how small the club is, and are trying to find out what happened to make spiderman disappear, to know if he's at least alive and well (meanwhile peter is behind them playing chess with the spider-bots )

Also, Peter's "villain" name is cockroach lad. Johnny is the one that made it stick (him and peter where nemisis kinda) and peter is pissed about it, in fact for a month straight he kept throwing ice bombs at johnny whenever he saw him while out on his villain business

Also I need to make it clear that the only reason peter goes for "villain business" (which is just him going around testing his latest inventions, always with no civilians casualties, and Johnny is usually the one who tries to stop him)

Anyway there are two reason for Peter's activity, which are 1) having fun, and 2) making distraction so Felicia can go and steal some essential stuff for his inventions

By the way miles is a spider man fanatic, even tho spiderman was only a hero for like, a year and a half.

Peter isn't sure how to feel about that one

Also I think I mentioned Peter's goal before, and it shouldn't come up till much later in the story, and his goal is to make a time machine to change his past and save his loved one

The reason it's taking this long is cause he's trying to find a way to actually change the past, and not just make an alternate timeline (apparently that what happens in marvel when you go back to the past)

UGHHH SOMEONE WRITE THIS PLEASE I NEED IT OUT OF MY HEAD I NEED TO STUDY

How many can I use in one short story?

[[Summary: I loved all of these so I decided to see how many I could use in a short story. Why? Because I drank too much coffee and can't sleep! Woo! Plot basis: Neko waits for his roommate Lupa to come home. Only noticing she is gone after waking from a nap. So here we go, starting with number 3.]]

"Lupa?" Neko called out. Letting out a long yawn and graceful stretch as he patted down the hallway and into the living room. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes with the back of his hand and blinking as he looked around. Quickly narrowing them when he noticed Lupa wasn't present and glanced up at the clock.

One thirty two am.

Neko felt an involuntary growl escape his throat. Sure it was Saturday but Lupa was never out this late. Either she was already home or she would have dragged those idiot packmates of hers home.

'Stop inviting your friends over all the time! You alone are enough to deal with.' Neko hissed as Lupa tucked a blanket around one of the passed out college girls neck. One of many Lupa had brought home insisting it was safer they slept over rather than walk home in the dark. Neko had simply glared at her before marching off to his room.

What if she had listened? What if she had listened and instead of bringing those idiots home and had walked them instead? What if something had happened? That dumb idiot was loyal and faithful enough she would do something stupid. It was one of the things Neko secretly admired about her.

Not that he would ever admit it outloud.

Neko stood in the living room staring for what felt like several minutes. Truth be told he didn't really know what to do with himself when Lupa wasn't around. Like a parasite she had somehow managed to firmly attach herself to him.

He couldn't watch any anime because he didn't want to get ahead of her. He couldn't play video games. All of his recent purchases had been co-op games and he didn't want to outlevel her on the mmo they were playing. She was always so useless when it came to video games. Still she always tried and it wasn't…..unenjoyable.

Reading was an option………except Lupa had recently taken to reading to him before he napped, which was often. So the prospect didn't seem as exciting as it usually did. Even if his 'to read' bookshelf was starting to overflow.

It was weid to think that one of his greatest nemisis from highschool had somehow ended up being his roomate. He blamed his sister who set the whole thing up without telling him. Tuition had taken up most of his savings and he couldn't afford a place on his own. He had been desperate and he didn't have any other option. That had been….almost two years ago now? Had it really been that long? It didn't feel like it.

"Muwh." Neko grumbled and patted off towards the bathroom. A shower would at least pass the time and despite his haggard and unkempt appearance most the time. Neko very much preferred to be clean.

Slanted green eyes stared at him in the reflection of the mirror. His thick black hair falling around his shoulders almost like a mane. For once his skin wasn't completely pale, not quite a tan but not pastey either. A result of Lupa dragging him out of the apartment and to the park to play frisbee of all things. Literally whining and pouting outside his door until he would give in. Why was he such a pushover whenever it came to her?

Reluctantly he had to admit his life was…..he didn't want to say better but……well, it maybe, sort of…..made her life better that he was around. Yeah, it made her life better that he was around!

After all who took care of her when she was sick? Neko had been mortified at Lupa's 'rub dirt on it and walk it off' approach to taking care of herself. Nor would she allow anyone to help her. The foolish idiot probably thought she was a burden on people or something equally as thick skulled. If Neko happened to pick up an extra vitamin water from the store or make chicken noodle soup it was purely coicedental.

He didn't even want to start on her diet. 'Garbage disposal' was an apt description. The three first prize ribbons for eating contests that she was so proud of a testement to her glutony.

Neko slunk into the shower enjoying the warmth and heat. The small speaker on the pedestal sink playing through a random playlist. If he was thankful for one thing it was that Lupa never complained about his music. Her own tastes were limited but she was always asking him for suggestions or offering to take him to concerts.

"Okay, bye! Love you!" Lupa called out as she headed for the door.

"What did you just say?" Neko stammered feeling his cheeks heat up. Surely he had to have heard her wrong.

"Sorry, it's a habit. It has nothing to do with you!" She had called back before slamming the door.

Love you.

Neko shook the thought along with the water from his head as he stepped out of the shower. Of course she hadn't meant it, meant it. How many times had he heard it say it to her friends? Or even the potted bush in the living room when she was drunk? It didn't mean anything and it wasn't like he wanted it to mean anything.

It wasn't like it was that uncommon to daydream about really. She was always sitting in his room even when he complained. Sometimes telling him about her day and other times silently going over her own studies. Yet it never felt like an intrusion of space. Wondered what she would say if he told her not to leave one evening, to crawl in bed with him. Would she?

Of course she wouldn't. Neko was……book smart and tempormental Neko. Lupa was…….warm and bright, and amazing. She was Lupa and there was little chance she would be interested in someone like Neko. Though he had never known her to have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Neko didn't realize he had dressed and walked back out to the living room until he found himself glowering at the clock.

Two o' two am.

No Lupa.

Neko threw himself on the couch with a huff. The movies said you had to wait twenty four hours before reporting someone missing…..He could always try calling her but wouldn't that be acting too much like he cared?

In the end he decided to text her.

Neko: Are you dead? That would be inconvinent.

Neko's heart skipped a beat when he saw the three little bubbles appear almost immediately. Had…..had she already had the chat head open? Probably coincidence.

Lupa: CAN I KEEP HIM!?

A moment later a picture appearing in the chat. A picture of Lupa who was holding a squirrel of all things. Leaning way too far towards the camera, her blonde hair falling around her face and highlighting the very low cut shirt she was wearing. Actually Neko swore he recognized that shirt…..

Neko: IS THAT MY ROMPAI SHIRT YOUR GIANT CHEST IS STRETCHING OUT?

Lupa: TOLD U I WOULD TAKE THEM IF YOU DIDNT CLEAN UP!

Why was he sinking to her level and using cap locks? Granted he did have a bad habit of leaving his clothes about. Still! That didn't give her permission to stretch out his shirts! Even if he was a bit jealous of said shirt.

Neko: You know, I might find a better place to live. This is only temporary after all.

Lupa: WHAT!?

Lupa: OMW NOW

Neko blined at the screen. Wait…what? He had only been joking had she really taken him serious? He knew she was gulliable but jeez.

His thumb hesitated as he went to reply. Nah, let her sweat a little bit, maybe she would learn her lession. It totally had nothing to do with him wanting her home. The pleased purring noise he made purely coincedental.

"NEKO!" Lupa's voice barked through the apartment as the front door slammed open. Startling Neko awake from his near sleeping state. At some point he had apparently started to drift off again. How long had it been since she te-

"I'm sorry Neko!" Lupa said as she burst into the living room. Her cheeks rosy and words clearly slurred from drinking. Nearly tripping over her feet as she skidded to a halt when she spotted him.

"Lupa you don't need to yell." Neko sighed rolling his eyes. "I was just-"

"I'm sorry Neko! I won't steal your clothes!" And in one smooth action she whipped off the black t-shirt she had stolen. Leaving a stunned Neko with a very generous view tanned curves and muscle.

"L-LUPA!" Neko blurted and clamped his hands over his eyes. His face turning beat red as his heart did an odd sort of summersault in his chest. He had seen her in bikinis before and relutctantly undegarments at her insistance it was fine. She had never been afraid to show off her body, the complete opposite of Neko.

"Fine! Fine! You can wear my clothes! Just put the-" Neko stammered but was cut off when he felt a weight settle against him. Warm and soft and feeling awfully lot like-

Neko opened his eyes to see Lupa had plopped herself into his lap. Leaning against his chest when he opened his eyes and grinning at him like an idiot.

"I love when you cook. You always have the best taste in food. I think it's adorable I have to keep the hallway light on because your scared of the dark. Even though you have like, insane night vision." Lupa giggled nuzzling against him until her whole weight was settled against him.

"I hate when you lock yourself in your room and won't come out all day. It never bugs me when you always complain but never tell me to go away. When you think I don't notice you steal my choclate or when you argue about chores just so we can talk." Lupa murmured leaning up and planing a soft kiss on his chin.

"I just love you." She said with a shrug.

Neko for his part could only blink. She loved him? Wait, she knew he stole her choclate? How he was always so care-not the point.

Lupa loved him and he……

"I tolerate you." Neko said with a smirk.

Lupa chuffed. "Such a romantic."

"Mmm, carry me to bed." Neko demanded.
