Honestly kinda of the belief that the more you know about the source material, the more fun it is to treat it like a piñata at a frat party.

Absolutely man! The best way to deconstruct and mess with something is first knowing the base of what you’re messing with!

Its how I believe all fandoms should be explored by. comics in particular have SO many different versions and iterations of that character that you have to wait and pause at the store to choose one of the 18 differently colored but otherwise identical piñatas. You then can take your bat and swing at that version of the character. Pick and choose your piñata and you’ll have a grande ol time

Young Justice:Battalion (Season 4 AU RP idea)

OK, so with the remainder of YJ: Outsiders just around the corner, it got me to thinking about the future of the Team. We have waited over 5 years for what happened after Invasion, so GOD only knows if we'll EVER see a season 4 within our lifetimes. This said, this AU Rp, that I'm thinking about making a one on one/Two on one, Intermediate effort as well as a long-running one for anyone dedicated enough, Is something I'd like to try out. Lemmie lay down the scenario for anyone interested. This is also for anyone who happens to be a fan of DC's Kingdom Come series. Teen versions of characters from that Elseworlds story as well as traditional adult ones, have starring roles. Heroes and villains alike. Now, without any further-a-do, here's the scenario in an 8 paragraph nutshell. (Some nutshell. Sorry. :S) ''The year is 2027. 10 years after the end of Outsiders. A great deal has changed in many ways. The South Korean Music Invasion of the late 10s and early 20s, along with the election of President Martin Suarez in 2020, brought a new sense of optimism to America, at least culturally. At the same time, however, a desire for the now ever growing distant past became ever more prevalent. The revivals of the Ska/Pop-Punk, Eurodance and Nu-Metal genres from the mid to late 90s and early 00s, sharing a place on the virtual charts with K-Pop groups, Folk-Pop Groups inspired by Ed Sheeran's Galway Girl, both British And American Grime artists and, oddly enough, Neo-Classical composers, has to lead to an extremely diversified music world as well as a higher sense of hope. Fertilising this ever-growing aesthetic sense of a better tomorrow, was the clearing and exoneration of many accused actors, singers, VAs and so on during the long-gone MeToo movement with names like Michael Jackson, George Takei, Jim Cummings (By now RIP), Nelly,  Nick Carter, Stan Lee, etc, being exonerated, returning to Hollywood and the entertainment industry in General, a greater sense of trustworthiness. In classrooms across the western world, Virtual Reality is becoming more prevalent, Real Meat, milk and cheese are being cloned in barrels en mass, Tv Commercials are actually watchable again, especially for Video Games, even fasion is based on a kind of ''hereditary nostalgia'' from the Late 80s, Mid 90s and Early 00s. Of course, not everything is sunshine and rainbows in the late 20s and not everything is quality. Despite the new trend of Pulp Hero Cinematic Universes and realistic romcoms in the style of Clerks, DEEPLY Experimental Horror, Adventure and Animated flicks Also dominate the box office. Outside the world of entertainment, Racism and prejudice also continue to exist as do crime and disasters. Racketeering, smuggling, Terrorism, Arson, Murder, kidnappings, Assaults and general super villainy Have been steadily on the increase and Forrest-Fires, Typhoons and especially Mudflows are becoming more frequent in Central Asia, Scandinavia and the Southern Mediterranean, thanks to climate change which, while being mended, seems to have simply migrated to other regions. Naturally, therefore, there will always be a need for Superheroes. But the old guard of humanity, The Justice League, are starting to get on in years.  Many have now been supplanted by former members of a group known as ''The Team.'' Former teen sidekicks who formed a kind of undercover, black-ops superhero group that handled covert operations the League couldn't. 15 years ago, they formed in order to step out of the League's shadow, now they have either replaced the League's former roster, while the Younger members have either gone solo, quit or gone off to join an alternative. The Outsiders, lead by veteran Hero, Black Lightning. Shortly before the Team officially disbanded, seemingly forever, Old and New members alike came together to rebuild one of the JL's old ''Haunts.'' The Hall of Justice in central Metropolis. Briefly the true HQ for the Justice League, it quickly became a front for the superior base. The Watchtower, until it's destruction by The Alien race named The Reach uncovered the League's deception. Now fully rebuilt, the Hall stands as a sign of hope that maybe, one day a new team of young heroes in need of guidance will come together to face the challenges of the present and learn from the past. Good things come to those who wait, so they say. The so-called ''Nu-Age'' has arrived. New heroes, New Powers, Young Faces. The Dark, The Bright, The Strange and experimental, The Traditionalists and Legacy holders, The powered and non-powered. The gun toters and gadget masters. Alien, human, mutant. Brash, Egotistical, Snarky, excitable, Pseudo-Nihilistic, Optimists, Tough, Kind, Strong, Quick, Big and Small, Fun and Serious, Young and Eager, Wild and Free. Maybe a combination of all or some. Names and faces such as Manotaur, 666, Nucleoid, Living Doll, Trix, Stars and Stripes among others, are the ones now trusted to defend mankind as it's defenders and champions. Of course, it's only fitting that the most ambitious one of all, the one holding these 7 loosely together is a native to Superman's home city of Metropolis, the popular teen superhero, Magog. Powerful, Shining, Charismatic, Arrogant, Intelligent, Sociable. All wrapped up in the body of one 16-year-old, Superhero Rock Star with one thing on his mind. To save the world, from itself. But dark forces are once again lurking in a seemingly ''comparatively better'' world. A new threat is beginning to emerge from the shadows, The League knows it needs back up, but with the Outsiders so busy with their own thing and the old members not getting any younger, it's time for Magog's 7, he and his ''Battalion,'' to step up, fight, learn, train, grow both as friends and as teammates and become the heroes they were always meant to be. for better...or for worse...'' So to wrap this up, The For anyone interested, the roleplaying will be done via Discord, It's for Intermediate and literate roleplayers and fans of Lore, continuity, Character AND Action-driven stories, DC Elseworlds (Kingdom Come specifically) as well as YJ. The Rating is PG-13, no smut, with Mild profanity, violence, gore, etc. Anyone who wants to discuss further lore and history and stuff like that can do so in via Tumblr IM or in the discord chat. Speaking of, Discord identity will be given via IM in order to maintain my own safety and privacy. Hope to hear from you soon.
