#kids from mars

[catmask]

for me at least, theres always been a really stark divide in the 'child character is the main antagonist' sort of stories.

on one hand. theres stories that rely on the shock factor of a child being evil, because we're supposed to believe that kids arent capable of that sort of thing. i guess its supposed to be frightening but the novelty always wears off really quickly for me.

i think 'a child is the villain' always lands most successfully for me when a kid is given power beyond their years (either by adults around them or otherwise supernatural/societal forces) and then everyone is floored when they arent exactly responsible with that power. and sometimes theyre even selfish! not because that kid is evil, but because theyre a kid.. acting like a kid would in their situation.

it means that any sort of story that follows requires a protagonist to reason with someone who may not even understand the harm theyre doing, or worse - not have the life lived to understand why they should care in the first place. and also, i think watching what happens when u have an destructive force seeking comforts that any child deserves doing whatever they can to have those things is (to me) much more interesting than 'child who is fucked up and evil for no reason but being born that way actually'

dp x dc prompt #39

It started with the GIW kidnapping Miss Martian under the assumption that she’s secretly a ghost.

It ended with Young Justice + 1 teenage king Phantom piled in a shopping cart pushed by Kid Flash, with GIW alarms and sirens screaming as they barreled out the front door as fast as the little cart wheels could spin without coming off completely. And for some reason, Wally had Cotton Eye Joe blasting on his phone speakers, still heard clearly even over the sound of collapsing government lab.

Robin really has no idea what the heck is going on.

enstars is about many things but most importantly it is about the element epilogue where eichi wakes up from reminiscing about a day he nearly died, to find tori worrying over him. that is the core of es1

enstars theme of the younger characters helping the older ones heal i love you

why does every simblrhonesty "burn" sound like what adults writing a disney channel original movie think bullies talk like

Eventually Conner is going to come back from a multiversal roadtrip and start E but in the meantime we have Kona Lar-El and Supergrrl. All six panels of them.

on a scale from 1 - you don't think I know my own palace?! I built it! how obsessed with epic are you :3

🎶Please don't tell me you're about to do what I think you'll do

You've heard the legends of the island in the sky, this proves they're trueeee. We're in the home of the wind god!

And what's your plan?

I'm gonna climb to the top and ask them for a hand

You could be cause off guard and lose your life, or piss off this god and infuse us with strife. Don't forget how dangerous the gods are!

Have faith friend, we've come this far.

Yes, but how much longer til your luck runs out? How much longer til the show goes south? How much longer til we all fall down? You rely on wit and people die on it whoa.

I still believe in goodness. I still believe that we could be kind! Lead from the heart, and see what starts-

And what will you do when it tears us apart?

Where is this coming from my friend?

I just don't wanna see another life end. You're like the brother I could never do without.

And suddenly you doubt that I could figure this out?

Captain, how much longer til your luck runs out? How much longer til the show goes south? How much longer til we all fall down? You rely on wit and people die on it whoa.

Thank you for the concern but brother I can assure you, our journey is almost done. I understand that we're tired, I understand that we're fazed. But don't forget how much we've already faced. I took 600 men to war and not one of them died there! In case you needed a reminder. If you'd like to speak more, let me pull you aside then. I need to talk to you in pricate...

......

I can't have you planting seeds of doubt. I can't have you disagreeing each route. I need you to always be devout. And comply with this, or we'll all die in this,ooooookay?

Okay.

Thank you 🎶
