tini tiny little one

[zahri-melitor]

@upswings I had a go at it.

My further notes on this:

I am KICKING myself over who in DC has been written out of existence by their parent, but Wanda’s a classic pick anyway.

I just can’t work out who was transformed by powerful unknown magics and I’m going to groan when I get it.

Additions from my own backlog of ridiculous canon:

If you killed his clone in a fight? Was that clone you killed your son? (Travis Morgan and Joshua Morgan)

When you’re a computer program who THINKS you’re the father of that son (Death Masque and Ray Terrill)

If your son died in a car crash and then you found out an alternate version of him was raised by Granny Goodness (Donna Troy and Robbie Long)

If your son has been cloned and the clone raised by his evil grandfather? (Don Allen and Thad Thawne)

When a scientist gets infected by a sample of tissue from your son being held in captivity and being experimented on (Preston Payne, Sondra Fuller, Cassius Payne and Peter Malley)

Was going through The Ray 1994 to look for a good reference picture to recreate Joshua with, and a giant ass appeared as I was scrolling through and it wasn't even Ray's :/ goddamn ads

[dc-worse-dad-poll]

Round One, Part Seventeen!

Who's the worse dad?

View the brackets here. Reasons for submission beneath the cut.

Happy Terril:

He locked one 10 year old son (Joshua) up in cryogenic suspension in a missile silo because he couldn’t deal with him. He then had his next son (Ray) raised completely in the dark by his brother and lied that if Ray went outside he’d die. And that’s just their origin stories.

A bitch-ass man who declined to raise his son for eighteen years, lied to him about sunlight killing him and to everyone else about his son having died in childbirth, and then had the temerity to complain about how the kid he did absolutely nothing to parent turned out. Somehow a worse father figure than Vandal Savage, a man who grows his descendants in vats so they can give him replacement body parts.

Submitting this in honor of my mutuals who are reading the rat. I only have second hand knowledge, but here’s a list of asshole moves: https://www.tumblr.com/zahri-melitor/733240370667929600/this-poll-has-thoroughly-amused-me-because-two

Ebenezer Batson:

He is Billy's uncle and former legal guardian, who stole the family's money and then abandoned Billy to live on the streets. He later tries to steal more from Billy, by taking the money he earned from being a radio jockey.

[isfjmel-phleg]

The Ray 1994 #28, in which an explanation for Joshua Terrill's background is given (with debatable believability), really needs to be read in conjunction with #5, which reads like a playing-out of Joshua's story again, with Ray in his brother's place.

In #4, Ray has averted a crisis with the dangerous Light Entity, sending it back out into space and absorbing all its energy. He's the only one who can communicate with it, and his father has urged him to do what he was born to do and save the world. So Ray has, and he returns to Earth ready for a hero's welcome--and rather intoxicated, an unexpected effect of absorbing all that energy.

His father is not pleased. In some unspecified way, Ray has failed to live up to expectations. And in #5, Happy lashes out at his son, verbally and physically, claiming that Ray is out of control and must be "taken down a peg." He frames this in a "this hurts me more than it hurts you" way.

After dragging Ray all over the world trying to give him object lessons in Responsibility, Happy whips out this monstrosity of a gun and points it at his son:

Ray assumes his father is about to kill him and pleads for his life. To no avail.

He doesn't die, of course--the purpose of the gun is to take away his powers.

Ray is actually relieved and spends a carefree afternoon reveling in finally being a normal person--until an incident at work leads him to realize that some things about his encounter with his father don't add up.

Yeah, where would he get such technology? Remember that.

The loss of Ray's powers turns out to be a ruse, and he tracks down his father and yells at him--only to receive Happy's approval for passing "yet another test."

Does any of this seem familiar?

Son is urged by his father to engage in overwhelming heroism, which affects his behavior/mental state.

Father perceives son as out of control and a disappointment for failing to live up to expectations.

Father proceeds to use elaborate technology to neutralize son, framing it as his having no other choice but to do so.

It's basically what happened with Joshua, who apparently failed at age eight to pass the tests that Ray manages to.

It raises some questions, too. If Happy has the ability to take away his son's powers, even temporarily (as he does twice in his issue), why did he not at least attempt to do this when Joshua's powers got dangerously out of control?

And as Ray points out, it doesn't seem plausible for a man whose background is reporting, not science, to have access to high-tech devices. So where on earth did Happy get a cryogenic chamber to put Joshua in at such apparently short notice in 1954? In his account, Joshua destroyed the house and killed his mother late at night, and the next morning Happy took him to a drugged breakfast and froze him.

(The Ray 1994 #28)

That's less than twenty-four hours to acquire something that probably only the most advanced scientists in this sci-fi universe would have access to, and there's no evidence that Happy has connections with anyone who could hook him up with something like that in a pinch (his team, the Freedom Fighters, were pretty low-tech overall).

Is this chamber another of his solid light constructs (as the power-removing gun presumably was)? Or was the freezing of Joshua not a deperate last-minute choice spurred by a sudden tragedy, but the outcome of careful preparation and planning once this son proved "out of control" and needing to be "taken down a peg"?

Okay while I don't have as much. wants desires thoughts etc as mario here,

Ray Terrill my blorbo gets his original origin and whatnot back. No more of whatever fuckery they did to Nadine... Joshua Terrill comes back <3... Do something with Gaelon if she's even still around... I kill Happy off again... Ray's still gay though I would never take that away from him. Maybe a different boyfriend though.

um... new Dead Boy Detectives run. It's under the Vertigo/Sandman branding, sure, but still DC. Charles and Edwin and Tanya and *reads smudged handwriting* Marvin? Melvin? I don't remember his name I'm sorry genuinely... Also a Crystal Palace mini. What's she up to in her adult life.

BRING ANITA FITE BACK TO US

I do like what mario said about Gregor Nagy

There's a post somewhere that jokingly (?) called a new Greta Hayes solo "Dead Girl Detective"... I want that for real

Um... Orca... she's a Gotham Rogue I can still talk about her right... I will be giving her so much love. No one can stop me

I'd probably do a new YJ run. Ray's important to it it's how I retcon shit back. Joshua and Traya are friends :) (not really)

Issue of new YJ run is YJ babysitting adventures. Joshua (age like 12? 13?), Traya (like the same age? How old is she?), Anita's parents (like 4? 5?), and that's probably it but hoo boy will they not have fun (lie)

Lagoon Boy polyamorous canon + also isn't he dead rn. bring him back why not. give him a proper name let's just steal La'gaan from YJA ig

This poses a common but never dull question... Tell me what the first thing YOU would do if you became a writer at DC with no editorial backlash? What would you make canon? What story would you write? What would you retcon?

New Gods, Pt 1

Inspired by @pastel-petticoats‘ Earth 54 New Gods, who were more godlike beings who incarnated & spoke through humans

In E136, This is much the same. The New Gods are beings of the Fourth World who incarnate into the mortal realm. This has ties to the greater creation story of E136, and a collected ‘Monomyth’ that inspires a lot of other myhts. (One hint about that, Scott Free is actually sort of a Lucifer-like figure, but with the specifics lost)

The New Gods of Apokalypse mostly incarnate within the religious interstellar empire known, appropriately, as Apokalypse.

Time for some Joshua Terrill propaganda. I think DC should bring him back. For chaos.

Look at this innocent baby.

He is tiny and sweet and harmless. He goes by the code name Spitfire and he used to fight supervillains with his dad back in the early 1950s.

He was born in the mid-late 1940s. He was cryogenically frozen by his own father for 40 years.

He’s just a lil hungry kid.

Who has fine enough control over his light ray powers to pop popcorn with it.

Oh and also blow you to kingdom come if you scare him. He doesn’t like monsters.

Content warnings: police violence, racial violence, victims of hate crimes, white supremacy, and police violence.

Read by: Shariba Rivers, Pat King, Alexander Danner, Ryan Schile, Bilal Dardai, Duo Yang, Eli McIlveen, Amelia Bethel, Joshua K. Harris, Michael Turrentine, Kathleen Hoil, Marsha Harman, Ele Matelan, Jeffrey Nils Gardner, and Eleanor Hyde.

Transcript below the cut.

Today is Wednesday, June 10, 2020. There will not be a new episode of Unwell today. Following the example and the words of Black Lives Matter Chicago, we call for an end to the state violence against and criminalization of Black communities through police forces, an unjust legal system, and federal, state, and local political organizations.  

As the artists of HartLife NFP, we call on our fellow art makers in positions of institutional power and privilege to take concrete actions to make your institutions and artistic work explicitly and actively anti-racist.  

We affirm our commitment to do the same here. We will interrogate ourselves when we have fallen short of this goal and recommit to do better every time.  

The United States is a country founded on land stolen from indigenous peoples, built with the stolen labor and lives of enslaved Black people. We call especially on White listeners to reckon with this fact, today and every day.    

The following list is both incomplete and horrifyingly long. These people were victims of hate crimes, police officers and of an unjust, white supremacist system.

We say their names and we remember their lives. Tamir Rice Samuel Dubose Walter Scott Jordan Davis Tony McDade Dion Johnson Dante Parker Michelle Cusseax Laquan McDonald Richard Perkins Nathaniel Harris Pickett Benni Lee Tignor Miguel Espinal Michael Noel Kevin Mathews Bettie Jones Quintonio Legrier Keith Childress Jr Janet Wilson Randy Nelson Antronie Scott George Mann John Crawford III Ezell Ford Aaron Bailey Ronell Foster Stephon Clark Antwon Rose II Tanisha Anderson Alton Sterling Philando Castile Botham Jean Pamela Turner Akai Gurley Rumain Brisbon Trayvon Martin Jerame Reid Mathew Ajibade Frank Smart Alexia Christian Brendon Glenn Victor Manuel Larosa Jonathan Sanders Freddie Blue Joseph Mann Salvado Ellswood Albert Joseph Davis Darrius Steward Billy Ray Davis Michael Sabbie Brian Keith Day Christian Taylor Troy Robinson Natahsa McKenna Tony Robinson Anthony Hill Mya Hall Phillip White Eric Harris Walter Scott William Chapman II Asshams Pharoah Manley Felix Kumi Keith Harrison McLeod Junior Prosper LaMontez Jones Patterson Brown Dominic Hutchinson Anthony Ashford Alonzo Smith Tyree Crawford India Kager La’Vante Biggs Michael Lee Marshall Jamar Clark Wendell Celestine David Joseph Calin Roquemore Dyzhawn Perkins Christopher Davis Marco Loud Peter Gaines Torrey Robinson Darius Robinson Kevin Hicks Mary Truxillo Demarcus Semer Willie Tillman Terrill Thomas Sylville Smith Michael Brown Eric Garner Sandra Bland Fredie Gray Terrence Crutcher Paul O��Neal Alteria Woods Jordan Edwards Dominique Clayton Christopher Whitfield Christopher McCorvey Eric Reason Michael Lorenzo Dean Breonna Taylor Atatiana Jefferson Ahmaud Arbery Doug Lewis George Floyd Manuel Ellis Maurice Gordon

EVEN MORE WHOOPS I DECIDED I'M DOING Slobo AND Lagoon Boy AND Joshua Terrill AND THE SCOOBY GANG??? WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?????

Earlier I made Ray Terrill with a template I made based off my old version of this same template which was based off someone else's template that is pretty dissimilar from mine now that I think about - I feel like I got off-track. Anyway, it was in LittleBigPlanet, and when I was done I was like, "Wow, looks great," then had to bite my fist because god. He's hot. I did such a good job recreating my fave that I got impure thoughts.
