Me: oh, I have a little bit of free time, what shall I do?

30+ unanswered asks:

Unfinished stories:

Me: yeah perfect time for another AU

Anyway meet Reversed!EPIC where gods are humans and vice versa.

Short lore: gods are Chronos' (maybe an important king of some sort?) escaped children, really just a chaotic bunch who stole a ship and are trying to survive with like 0 (zero) knowledge about the world and 0 (zero) skills

Don't worry about Telemachus btw, they just threw a spear at him randomly (miscommunication core) and it somehow managed to land (he's immortal he's fine)

I THINK they would get high like in the first 20 seconds of being on the lotus eaters' island. (pls appreciate Zeus having a crisis) (and that's Hestia btw)

Aaand of course this was an excuse to draw more posepoli. HEAR ME OUT. Polites as Calypso. HEAR ME ✋ With Odysseus it was like "stay with me, be my man, never go back to your wife" and with human!Poseidon it would be like "stay with me (respectful), be my man (respectful) and for the love of gods, please stop trying to murder everything you think even remotely hostile towards you"

Sure enough Polites will have some tragic backstory :'D

Part 1 | Part 2

so, i have some thoughts. i feel like the game doesn't explore doey much, so i'm gonna take that as an opportunity to stretch him a lil.

in short, i see him as neither one whole nor 3 kids in a trench coat, but something in the middle of the two: a grown up who never really got to experience a proper childhood, the 3 originals in a blend with each other.

the time between creation and game events likely is enough for them to learn how to cooperate (up until. yknow). collectively or individually though, goddamn they need therapy

[ Description in ALT, text transcribed under cut ]

1st image:

point at head with teeth peeking: teeth may show more subtly, particularly when mischevious

point at hat: hat always at an angle

point at hand: stubby hands omg <3

point at neck: neck constantly bent in some fashion

Generally friendly and curious, may be more closed off and bitter if kevin is more dominant.

Collectively an adult due to passage of time and gaining experience, but still retains some more childish traits due to isolation from outside world and trauma, both collective and individual (holy shit do they need therapy).

Parts operate more or less seamlessly, but depending on situation some may show more or less of their traits.

When stressed, cooperation between parts may break down.

2nd image:

Kevin

present strongest when angry, most of anger processing goes through him.

not actually angry/cranky all of the time though, just a bit more gruff/edgy compared to the other two. tends to show teeth when talking.

over the years learned to control his rage better, can redirect it into being a bit of a troll w/ the others

understandably, safe haven's destruction made him revert and lose all restraint, resulting in lashing out, mixed with extreme emotions from others.

Jack

loved doey strongest before conversion (rip), as such expressions tend to default to his

learned to cope with constantly fighting for survival by cracking jokes and being more optimistic

present strongest when happy, may speak more childishly when in distress or comfortable

reverts into reliving trauma of death and family loss with safe haven's destruction

Matt

present strongest when focused on the leader role, strikes a balance between kevin and jack

through time learned to focus more on necessary action rather than allowing to succumb to past guilt

definitely still very stressed out from responsibility, especially after poppy leaving, learned not to show it through cooperation with kevin and jack

safe haven's destruction just plunges him straight into a guilt spiral

Note pointing at bottom notes for each: safe haven's destruction is a massively traumatic event for them, resulting in the three regressing into child selves from distress, mixed in with emotions from individual traumatic memories

Paraphrasing again buuut I wanted to try illustrating this scene!

[casscainmainly]

Jason and Cass' opposing views on murder is so interesting. Their conflict is not purely moralistic - that is to say, it's not purely that Jason thinks murder is okay, and Cass doesn't. It's their identities, their original and most fundamental worldview. Jason is a murder victim and Cass is a murderer. Yes, Jason kills people as Red Hood, and yes, Cass dies multiple times, but this never truly erases how they see themselves. Jason will always have been murdered, and Cass will always be a murderer. They are unable to fully extricate themselves from those roles, and thus will never approach life or death the same way.

So god created us in his image, right? And that’s cool and all but what if it turns out god, like, hates his own image??? What then????

illario as the grandchild that is most like caterina is something i'm loving to chew on. the grandson that took her lessons to heart the most. kill anyone who sees your face and knows your name, "we are not revolutionaries", the first out of the two to prioritise the contract. power at any cost, and the only one to lean into the unnecessary abuse that their grandmother told them was tradition. why is anyone surprised he allied with the venatori? and then there's illario's considerable skill in infiltration and manipulating any mark, he has always had the charisma that lucanis lacked. illario isn't attached, he has/can/will use someone and immediately drop them; "that does free me from promises i don't intend to keep". he can lie about how much he cares so well that he fools a magister into believing he loves her. he kills zara without hesitation to cover his own tracks, meanwhile lucanis blindly promises a young girl in the middle of a siege that he will help her find her father. even the lessons about family stick with him, and in this entire messy power struggle, he never actually orders anyone to directly kill caterina or lucanis, not until he's backed into a corner.

and even after all that. despite even lucanis believing illario should be first talon, lucanis is still the better killer. illario is not strong enough to be the brutal assassin caterina needs him to be. so when lucanis seems to fill the role his mother left, grief and love for her dead heir apparent remains, and any of the other qualities caterina needs in her next talon doesn't matter. whatever his mother was, lucanis has to be. what illario does doesn't matter, because he will always be second best to caterina's memory of her favored daughter.

The people worshipping Ghost King Danny have a religious schism over His nature, like how Christianity has had those in its past.

“Phantom is half ghost and half human! It’s literally in the name! He’s a halfa!”

“How dare you insult our Lord so! He is not half of anything! Phantom is both fully human and fully ghost simultaneously, entirely encompassing both domains!”

“Heresy! Phantom is bound by neither the limits of humans nor ghosts, he is solely divine! It is through being outside the realms of life and death that he is able to ascend above!”

“Actually, I believe Phantom and Danny were fully separate beings, each sharing in His divinity but only singularly human or ghost—”

*sounds of violent scholarly argument continue to rapidly increase*

jing yuan loves listening you ramble so much. he rests his head on his hand and just stares at you with the softest smile glued to his lips. gives you a sweet little hum every once in a while and he asks a few questions here and there, but otherwise he's quiet. he just wants to listen to you, he wants to hear your voice.

you could be talking about anything and everything btw,, it doesn't matter whether you're rambling about your day or about a movie you saw, about a hobby of yours or about the cute little kitty you saw on your way home – he's going to savour every single word that you offer him as if they're the only things that keep him going.

and when you happen to get a little flustered by his smitten gaze, he'll just laugh warmly before tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear while ushering for you to go on. you might need a kiss or two to get back on track but luckily for you, he's more than happy to smother you in his love.

peck after peck after peck, his lips brush against your skin as he whispers his pleas to you. his playful desperation is nothing new; his heart full of devotion and his eyes pooling with only with the purest kind of admiration as he looks at you—

because at the end of the day it's not just your words and your voice that keep him going, it's the love you bestow upon him.

after having lived such a long life, you're a breath of fresh air and he refuses to waste a single breath. so, every word, every look, every beat of your heart is something to worship, something to honor. you're his everything.

a ramble, a vent, a prayer resembling his name – this once, jing yuan wants to be greedy. he wants everything, he wants all of you.

Here's the mondo sketches I promised, as well as @squishvicx request for Trans mondo HC!

i feel like poolverine easily could’ve been one of those “they’re flirty but it’s mostly unserious” situations, and for most of the movie yeah they were extremely gay, but wade’s been like that with other guys and it was never treated as a serious type of relationship before. they’re willing to die for each other, but even then the romantic aspect of their relationship could be glossed over because it’s a superhero movie, that’s just what they do, and they’re working together to save a whole timeline—it’s not just about them. but then the movie doesn’t end with them saving the day and moving on. i think this’s really the part that sells poolverine as a genuine relationship to me… logan’s leaving, and wade calls for him. he can’t stand to let him go. then he introduces him to his family, and logan stays. he doesn’t really need to stay, but they’ve both decided they’re better off with one another than without

Words cannot describe how much I dislike when people describe Damian as resembling his mother and then use that as an excuse to make him short.

Talia is not a small woman. She is slender, yes. But not small, she is in fact fairly tall at like 5'7-5'10, and Ras is even more so at 6'5. The Al Ghuls are loooong, like those slinky cats. I love them.

But making Damian short and then saying it's from Talia is a cop out. The Al Ghuls are genetically taller than the Waynes, just not as bulky.

If Damian is short it's Bruce's fault if anyones.
