[wordgirl-rebooted]

Is there anything coming up that you're in particularly excited to flesh out? I know it's still early on, but I was interested.

sjsjdbd yes

Quiet a few things if I am honest -

I'm really excited to explore possible backstory/lore to fair city. We all know the citizens of fair city aren't very bright to say in the least. (Granted it's a kids show and it does add to the humor a bit XD) could there be a reason for it?

I also wanna explore a bit of the universe of the show in general. Like how are things in Newport..since superheroes exist in this au what are the heroes like in that town and everywhere else? Have superheroes always been a thing? Or did something happen somewhere in history 🤔🤔🤔🤔

The show mentions lexicon and Hexicon (forgot how to spell it-💀) but we barely get much info on the planets and their history. (Somewhat a shame since I always wanted to know more-)

Then there's a few background characters that I've always wondered about but given that there's hardly or little to no information on them. It leaves a lot in the air. (Take Amazo guy for instance. Given that he's the cover on steven's book, did Steven know him? Was he like a fictional character similar to pretty princess with merch??? What planet did Amazo guy come from-?)

Possible miss power lore

Who's Becky's birth parents and why they haven't come looking for her-🤔 I mean if I had a child who went missing I'll be flipping buildings to look for them-

Generally expanding on a few things considering how the season finale ended.

Who is Tobey's dad? Why isn't he around? Is there a way to curb Tobey's fatherless behavior-

DONT GET ME STARTED ON THE SCRAPPED CONCEPT FOR TWO BRAIN-

Someone told me once they really liked my short punchy first sentences and I ...really took that to heart, because...

...I know that I am a fan of a long sentence, and I don't want to lose anyone, you know?

I try to make it a point not to mention a character's name, just to give you the chance to get settled before you figure out who the camera is following?

I was also told once to never start with dialogue, which is a rule I understand the reasons for and try to follow.

[soysaucevictim]

Been in a rambly/chatty mood over here.

Just trying to decide what my Focusing Music to finish writng the Heist at the Whites' house in this Begotten!AU.

Random deet for all my AUs, There will always be at least one DW in 'em - a ref to the Dragon Witch. Sometimes she's an antag. Other times just a background character.

There's 2 DWs in Begotten!AU.

Dani Wexler, a Ravager Dragon Beast... who's an opportunistic news reporter. She gets her kicks being on the scenes of disasters and interviewing the rattled masses for it. She's not inclined to get in the way of the MCs here, probably has a FWB thing with Jan and enjoys the antics of Remus a bunch.

Diane White, a Hero and daughter of the Newport Beach Police Chief. And uh... let's just say the Whites are terrible on so many levels. :,D

-

Diane White is also the name in the iZ!AU, the leader of the Dead Ender group Roman was in before he became... a liability.

Then there's Dorine Whitaker in the Gymrat!AU. The legit nice/cool HR manager for the tech firm that Remus and Logan work for. (Probably the only reason Remus hasn't somehow gotten himself fired yet, for his nonsense on the job. Whenever he's on task - he's a REALLY good tech.)

Some Info on the wonder family in my earth Legacy AU AKA Wonder Woman/Wonder girl fandom I need MAJOR HELP

I have my own fanon universe I’m building and I’m currently working on my version of the titans. On my version of the team there are three founding female members that have Amazon/Greek heritage. two of them are pretty much complete OCs, The first one who is also considered the teams first leader is the great granddaughter of Ares named Olivia (her mother is my interpretation of superwoman from the crime syndicate while her grandmother is my interpretation of Penthesilea a amazon from flashpoint) while the second one is the granddaughter of Zeus(making Diana her Aunt) I decided to name her Monique and the last one who is my interpretation of Diana’s little sister Drusilla is the daughter of Ares(making her my first OCs great aunt)

I also have like three males(maybe four I haven’t decided) who are part of the Wonder legacy to. And for the record only one maybe two are officially part of the Titans

Two of the males are Jason and Thrax Twin brothers to Diana and Drusilla respectably. Jason has the title Of Wonder Warrior And is a member of superhero team And I haven’t decided if Thrax is a hero yet or if I should really even include him at all in my AU.

While the third is my interpretation of Hunter Prince from the justice league legacy arc. He isn’t a Titan per say but he’s been offered membership(yes he still has major mommy and daddy issues). The fourth is a OC son of a Bana Mighdall Amazon(haven’t decided who yet but I know for sure it’s not Artemis who around Jason Todd’s age in this universe) who I call Alesandro/Amasis(child of the moon) who is part of the titans. Yeah he and Hunter don’t get along that well(I gotta develop this further but I’m thinking something like former boyfriends or former friends with benefits)

I need help with coming up with lassos. I already decided that Olivia is getting a lasso of submission similar to her mom.... I really need a name for her besides Lois ugh until I figure out one out I’m calling superwoman Atalanta after her And Dianas great aunt.....also have I mentioned that Superwoman and Wonder Woman are related several different ways but commonly refer to each other as maternal first cousins when interviewed by the media here?

But what about the others? I checked the DC Database Wiki and it said that Drusilla has a Lasso Of Truth similar to her sister but I don’t know if I wanna go that route because I kinda want to give each of Diana siblings a different type of lasso....actually I think I might just go with Thrax and Jason having a sword and Shield like Hippolyta did when she was Wonder Woman(yeah that’s canon in my universe except there’s no time travel and she went to mans world as a teenager) Nubia also Exists here as Hippolytas eldest child and I haven’t decided on a lasso for her either... should I have Hippolyta carry a lasso to(it could get passed down to one of her kids and in that case I’m thinking either Nubia or Diana since their the 1st and 2nd eldest daughters)

Also before anyone ask I’m still including both Donna and Cassie in the family but in my universe Drusilla debuted before both of them so she probably gets the Wonder girl name first(or at least she’s the public wonder girl since both Donna and Cassie are pretty much private superheroes only working with the justice league covert operations team of young superheroes until they both been in the life for a few years).

Donna Troy is currently called Troia and in my universe she was born on April 26 a year and three almost four months older then Jason Todd And a year plus four months younger then Dick Grayson. Her backstory is as follows.

Donna was orphaned by her birth mother, Dorothy Hinckley, a dying unwed teen who had given her up for adoption at Willowbrook Orphanage in Newport News, Virginia. Soon after baby Donna was adopted by Fay Stacey and her husband Carl but after Carl was killed in a work-related accident, Fay gave Donna up for adoption again, unable to raise the toddler because of mounting expenses. When her orphanage caught on fire Donna was saved by the titan Rhea who, being one of the mythological Titans, brought her to New Cronus and raised her as one of twelve Titan Seeds, orphans from various planets who would have died if Rhea had not saved them. Each one was given the name of a place that worshiped the Titans, and Donna was given the last name of Troy in homage to the ancient city. She was returned to Earth at age 12 , where her memories of New Cronus were erased until such a time that she would return and take her place among the Seeds as gods. She wound up crashing into the sea near Themyscira where she was saved from drowning by Queen Hippolyta herself. The only thing she remembered was the Name Donna Troy. Hippolyta dearly missing each of her own children decided to adopt young Donna and thus named her a recognized princess of Themyscira. As a adult at the current age of 22 she has successfully reconnected with Fay Stacey as well as her new family and is currently searching for her birth mothers family. Her lasso is the same as comic canon Lasso of Persuasion

I haven’t decided how I want Cassandra Sandsmark background to shape up. Should I have her as the Demi goddess daughter of Zeus like her New earth and young justice(tv show) incarnation or the daughter of Zeus son Lennox like her Prime earth/new 52/rebirth incarnation? I’m leaning towards the latter since her time on the new 52 teen titans was my favorite incarnation of her in the comics. Her lasso is the Lasso of Lightning

[dickbaggins]

please friends enjoy this lil teaser of what will be this year’s long fic, my novel from nanowrimo16. this is a wincest(iel? I haven’t decided but as I was writing, it took a distinct turn towards the threesome, I’m as shocked as you are) au with the Winchesters as archaeologist-hunters in 1910/20s Egypt. I’ve only vaguely researched this so if there’s any historical issues, that’s all on me. Within the week, I should start posting this for realsies, so it won’t be quite as rough.

The sky looked different, depending on where you were. If you didn't travel, you never noticed it. You saw one sky your whole life and maybe it was a pretty good sky anyway, so you didn't want for anything. But if you travelled, you knew the pang of homesickness a strange sky sometimes induced.

Dean Winchester felt like he'd been homesick since he was twenty years old. The sky in Newport never looked the same after he sped home from the docks. In a way, nothing felt real since then.

Of course, all the alcohol helped to keep the world at large to more of an unpleasant buzzing in his ears, around the periphery of his mind. Between that and work, ten years flew by with alarming speed. If he didn't stop to consider things, they fell away. If he didn't keep moving, he'd die. So move he did.

This appointment was in Egypt. That meant crossing the Atlantic, which he'd done at least once a year for the past decade. At least. The ships were better now than they used to be, catering to a different class of people. The Winchesters could no longer afford the opulence, the gold-laden dining rooms and the full serving staff but there was a burgeoning tourist class that made the ships all the more comfortable now.

Dean liked that better, anyway. They knew to leave him alone. They kept to themselves.

After that, train after train after train. He took in the sky out the windows, watched it change from big to narrow, to big again. Watched countless sunsets wink in and out of existence. He didn't keep a journal. For all Dean knew, it could have been months in those sleeper cars with his father and Bobby.

Their destination neared and Dean felt like he always did: a detached excitement at what new things they might discover, coupled with a vague, tense fear. People died on these expeditions. People got trapped under the Earth, people suffocated in centuries-old tombs. Sometimes Dean thought that wouldn't be so bad.

You'd be lauded as a hero.

You'd also be dead.

These were both pretty great.

At midnight, at the crossing of a border, the dining car lights dimmed and Dean made his slow shuffle back to the sleeper car. John snored quietly on the top while Bobby was still sat on the other bunk, books and papers spread out in front of him, dimly lit under the buzzing electricity.

“We're carrying on to Turkey tomorrow,” he told Dean. “So you alone are representing us in this excavation.”

Dean nodded blearily, undoing his tie, shrugging off his jacket.

“Your father has a few requests.”

Dean glanced up at the bunk and nodded again; this was how they communicated, these days, through a friendly intermediary, simply because it was easier. They wouldn't fight, that way. John Winchester got to hand down his decrees and Dean could only nod mutely and take them under advisement. Further to the verbalized rules, there'd be a letter set out for him tomorrow morning before he departed reinforcing all of these things.

Don't fuck up, was the general tone. Sometimes eased into don't fuck up too hard. It depended.

“This is an important post we've secured for you. Working closely with state officials is difficult to pull off. You'll be answering to Daniel and his lot. And working for them, you understand? They say jump - “

“I ask how high, yes, I've been farmed out before.”

“True, but not to these folks. They can be demanding. Not strictly treasure hunters, you know?”

Dean frowned, unbuttoning his shirt, laying it out carefully at the end of his own too-small bed. “Our kind of hunters?”

“In a way,” Bobby answered, his eyes sweeping over his papers for a nervous second before returning to Dean. “They have goals They have things they're specifically looking to find and if you're less than thorough and less than completely forthcoming in your findings? You'll find yourself at odds with them.”

“Which would then besmirch the family name even further. Understood.”

“Detailed notes, detailed drawings. At the end of every week, you'll meet with the head parties and discuss what you've found. Nothing is to be removed unless they tell you. Nothing is to be sold overseas.”

“So we're barely getting paid.”

“Experience is it's own reward,” Bobby sighed, and he didn't mean it anymore than John had earlier, Dean knew. They were all of them in a tricky situation and making the best of their skill set. “Send us copies of your notes, though. I'm curious as to what's actually going on.”

“Oh?”

That barely piqued Dean's interest; mild intrigue was something, at least, something more than dusting off old vases with a delicate brush.

“Last I heard, there was some set of magical demonic jewelry, though why a Pharoh would have that is beyond me. Rumor has it Daniel is after those things specifically. But being buried so long? It's either negated all that power or else charged it up something fierce. If you find it...”

“I won't, Bobby,” Dean sighed, slinging his legs up onto the too-small cot, folding his hands under his head and watching the lights flicker against the top of the empty bunk above him. So easy to imagine the four of them crammed into this private space, but there was only three.

And anyway, if it were the four of them? They wouldn't be nearly destitute and taking on jobs like this, whoring themselves out to lesser men for meager pay. If they were four...

No. They weren't.

“I won't find anything of value, I'm sure,” Dean sighed, “Not with how many other people working alongside me? The chances are slim I find anything at all besides dog bones and ancient wine vessels. The usual detritus.”

“That's the other thing, Dean,” Bobby said, voice low and serious, which made Dean look over at him; he scratched at his beard, shuffled his papers. “There's no drinking. It's forbidden by religion, so...if you don't want to raise the ire of your charitable hosts, you'll have to lay off.”

Dean's gut squirmed nasty, nervous already about the proposition.

“Is that why you're not joining me here? Is that why you and my father are moving on? I notice he's sleeping fairly content, got his fill before they turned the lights off, did he? Stowed something away in his baggage?”

“Now, son-”

“Don't call me that, please,” Dean sighed, squeezing his eyes shut. Had he known this was his last chance? He'd have tanked up in the dining car, beyond what he'd already had to drink. Which was a lot, by anyone's standards, but just enough to get himself to sleep. Hopefully. “I'm sure I'll manage.”

“There's coffee that'll make you see through time, if that helps.”

“That's sort of the opposite of what I'm striving for.”

“Well...there is opium, if you're really hard pressed to relax. I know how it is, Dean, believe me, I do. After everything you've been through, no one faults you and your father for your predilections. Least of all me.”

“Thank you,” Dean muttered, hoping this was the end, hoping everything else was covered in the letter he'd get later in his father's tiny, precise handwriting.

“Get some rest,” Bobby said, and that was it. All Dean heard of him until he dozed off were papers shuffling, notes being scrawled, the usual noises. He found them comforting, at least, if nothing else in the world was. And even that small kernel of home, he'd leave at the train station come morning.

It was hot. Dean knew it would be hot and he'd been through hotter but it seemed unreasonably sunny. Maybe it was just the day or the hangover he wouldn't be able to rid himself of. Although he'd found, when he unpacked, a concealed bottle of whiskey, likely from Bobby, stashed among his clothes. Here for three months, there was no clear way to ration it to last that long, unless he sipped a thimble-ful every night. And to what end would that help him?

It wouldn't.

Nothing would.

Although, riding carriage from the train station to the American hotel, he'd seen an opium den on every corner, not unlike saloons. Every place had a favourite vice. He was sure it'd be days before he started partaking. If not hours.

Dean didn't unpack.

He only had an hour to himself and he spent it washing and dressing again. He combed his hair in the gold-framed mirror on his dark-blue wall and stared at the spectre of himself there. He looked far from a legendary explorer. Far from carrying on his family tradition. He looked like a ghost and he knew that he was, that he had to be, or else why would he feel so empty?

There was a convoy out of town, set up for the first day of the expedition. The entirely of the thing took only another hour, so close that they had no need for tents or sleeping in the rough, which suited Dean just fine. No one could see him shaking, sweating and vomiting. The nightmares too; those were his and his alone, once again.

He shared an open-topped carriage with two other men and a small woman decked out in absurd clothing, heavy tweeds and whites that would get soiled within the minute. But she had a sly look to her face, like there were secrets there. She talked in low tones to the man beside her, dark haired and dark tanned but with blue eyes that glowed in the sun. He reminded Dean of a particularly unruly cat they'd had back in Newport.

Not even eight hours without a drink, and this was what his mind was doing.

It all fell away as they approached the site.

Dean had seen things before, great wondrous things and things that made his head spin strange but all of them, every single one, was eclipsed in an instant. Great hulking stone structures jutted out of golden sand, toned the same so only the shadows and the scaffolds really distinguished them. The road clogged with traffic, with yelling in a tongue he didn't yet understand and carts full of artifacts, bumping along recklessly.

And men crawled everywhere, men in great white clothes and men dressed in the western fashion too. A few women slipped among them with parasols, dressed in drab travelling clothes but occasionally, he caught a flash of bright silk, violet or peach or baby blue, in keeping with the summer season. A melting pot bigger and broader than New York City or San Francisco. Noisier and dustier than both as well; vendors prowled the crowded street, yelling their wares. They stayed out of the way of their convoy, though, owing to the armed bodyguards flanking them front and back.

Handy.

The Sphinx rose up suddenly out of the mess of the crowd, half beautiful and half grotesque, chipping and dying and glorious all at once. Pictures and other depictions, even the stereo-scope Dean had spent so much time looking at in his youth, none of that did this vision any justice. Beholding it himself was breathtaking.

Even among all the shit and the dirt, the caterwauling and the dust, there was soaring beauty.

The world was like that.

At least, the world was like that for other people.

Dean saw, after further consideration, just a crumbling facade that, centuries later, vultures like him were picking apart, in the interest of science and history. Or else just for money, if they were being honest. Most of them were not honest.

He looked back into the carriage, considered the new stain of mud on his canvas and brown leather boots. Well, things would only get dirtier from here on in.

“You're Dean Winchester,” the woman opposite him said, her voice clear and loud, accent American and untraceable, rather like his.

So they were doing this; talking. It had taken long long minutes and he'd rather have done without but it was the polite thing to do.

He nodded, felt that placid, social smile tug automatically at the corners of his mouth.

“You're well-informed.”

“I'm Meg Masters, I'm sort of the right hand man on this expedition. So, yes, it's kind of my business. Your reputation precedes you.”

“It generally does, for good or for ill.”

“A little of both, I think.”

Dean felt the corner of his mouth lift despite detesting small talk; there was more to her than appeared, and he generally liked that about women, if nothing else.

“You'll like it here,” she assured him, tilting her hat against the sun and the sand as they rounded a corner. They passed the great amalgam of stone, head of a woman, body of a lion, and other assorted things, her vague expression betraying nothing. Rather like Meg's. “You haven't been briefed yet.”

“I am due for that once we're on site.”

“Mm, not really. That's the standard fare for everyone else. But you? You're a Winchester. We don't have you sorting through the same muck as everyone else.”

Were those devil's jewels real, Dean wondered? His father's letter expounded on it; a set of necklaces, bracelets and rings that would catapult the wearer to the throne of all Hell. It seemed far-fetched but everything did about this strange, undiscovered world under the sand.

“So what am I after?” Dean asked, tilting his head, eyes swerving towards the other two gentleman in the car.

“They're privy to all my information, don't worry. This is Castiel,” Meg introduced the man with the bright blue eyes beside her, clutching at his tawny jacket with her doe-skin gloves. “And this is Brady. Both in the employ of our leader and benefactor. So you're among friends, Dean.”

Dean nodded, considered both men a little longer and without reason to distrust them or the woman yet, he eased down. Listened attentively.

It was the same general malarkey he usually heard when hunting preternatural artifacts; ancient secrets, do not disturb, on and on and on. It wasn't just jewels, though Bobby had been half right; they did exist, supposedly, they did factor into Daniel's plan quite heavily.

Which itself was suspect, but Dean wasn't in the business of questioning his employer's motives. Dean was here to get paid.

Along with the set of jewelry, there were untold bottles with things trapped inside; djinn, ghul, demi-gods, demons. Any stoppered bottle was to be suspect, was to be catalogued carefully and announced immediately to the right people, Meg and her cronies, in fact, could assess the situation.

Beings trapped in bottles was entirely too rooted in fiction for Dean's tastes. He'd never come across one in reality, and he'd come across a great many strange things. Spirits, sometimes, clung onto possessions from their lives, attached themselves to trinkets or snuff boxes or dolls. But nothing, so far as Dean knew, could be trapped in a vessel.

And he did have hundreds of years of research behind him on this.

But, he smiled, nodded, listened and considered what he might find beyond the huge structures they passed. They came out of the crowded street and carried on behind some structures, further and further out until the yelling of the vendors faded away completely. It was just their ten carts and the quiet, the wind whipping past and the sand crackling faintly.

The briefing was more or less the same. Less ghosts and monsters, more keeping things intact and being extraordinarily careful.

Dean hid his shaking hands behind his back, mopped at his sweaty brow in turns and, generally, didn't look too out of sorts for the heat of the day and how it affected everyone else.

But his stomach felt knotted hard, his mind foggy.

They had rations of water, and water would not do the trick, not for this dry mouth.

Dean fell in with the troops, so to speak. They all marched through dug-out trails, flanked by men with torches along narrow walls. There were rooms open along each side, some dim and dark and empty, others bustling with activity. They walked for sweaty ages, or at least it seemed that way. Dean was finding time falling apart rapidly as his system flushed all the precious alcohol out.

His head pounded, he sweat everywhere. Still. Two, three months of this now. He had better get used to it.

The paper in his hand said 'cavern #13' and of course it would, of course they'd stuff a Winchester in the cursed number. He found it after half an hour of drudging alongside his compatriots and found himself immediately alone as they all continued forth.

That was well enough.

Dean sighed, sagged against the inside wall out of view and took a moment to himself. Peace and quiet. It was nice, at long last, after so much jostling and shouting and close quarters sweating. Alone.

Dean prized that moment.

He opened his eyes eventually, shrugged his jacket off, laid his hat on top of it on the dusty ground and shouldered his bag of tools. It wasn't heavy but he grunted, rapidly out of shape and missing the extra boost of physical confidence from the drink. Terrible, how it changed you.

Terrible how he wasn't sure he could live without it.

“Alright, cavern number thirteen,” Dean muttered to himself, glancing around the cramped space. Here and there, things poked out of the sandy dirt. He wasn't sure what this was, whether burial or something else. He was no expert in any case.

He started in the corner, far right, and noted the proceedings, which were: dust, dirt. More dust and dirt. Broken pottery. Dirt.

This room was utterly uninteresting, uninspiring and vaguely claustrophobic. Although the walls closing in could easily be any number of horrible reactions. Dean stood with his back to everything, his arm on the wall and his head on that, wiping his sweat off for the millionth time on his rolled up shirt-sleeves.

Was the cavern spinning? Or was that him?

Did it even matter, anymore? All he had were notes on dirt and debris.

A cool wind sailed through the place and Dean spun around, frowning deep enough that it nearly hurt his face.

And now, in the center of the cavern, resting on a sealed up sarcophagus half-covered with dirt, there was a vase. Green and gold, glinting, appearing to move in the torchlight and then it did move, side to side, threatening to topple and Dean sucked in a hard breath, raced to grab the strange new artifact.

He misjudged distance, time, everything going weird as he stretched his hand out of it and brushed it too hard with trebling fingers. The vase fell, cracked loud against the slab of stone and split into two, three pieces, big and wide but pieces nonetheless.

Dean swore, reaching out to grab them when the room darkened, the torch shivered nearly out and smoke rose from the cracked vessel.

Black smoke.

You couldn't rightly call yourself a purveyor of all things mystical without knowing exactly what that meant.

Dean swore out loud, scrambled back to his starting corner, the rough stone of the cavern walls biting into his skin. He had nothing, he'd brought nothing, not so much as a grain of salt or a can of paint.

The smoke swirled around the room, filled it up huge and billowing and stopped a moment. It seemed to peer into the dimness, seemed to be looking for something and Dean prayed quietly to himself, to anything and everything that it wouldn't jam itself down his throat.

It didn't.

The smoke approached him and two hands jutted out from it, alongside Dean's clean-shaven face. He felt a chill, shook with more tremors than before when it caressed his skin and reached inside of his head. He felt that too, a cold prickle up the back of his neck, goosebumps raising on his arms, over the whole of his body.

Oh, it could see everything of him. It felt him inside and out and took him apart and put him back together, it moved with no regard for his sanity and contentment, it only sought and found and Dean squeezed his eyes shut, praying again it wouldn't take him for a host.

It didn't.

It spun around the room again, filled up every corner and dove down fast, circling the vase over and over; Dean felt it rather than saw, felt the breeze and the horrible waiting and then it whispered his name, low and sweet.

Dean opened his eyes, blinked to adjust to the brightness in the room again, the torch settled and steady.

Standing barefoot on the wide sarcophagus, the smoke had taken a form, crammed itself into a shape.

And it happened to look exactly like Dean's long-lost baby brother.

without further ado- ASK AWAY :D

[melodythebunny]

new ocs! They're ment to Sorta resemble the justice league/avengers of the wordgirl universe (honestly can use them for original works as well) added a bit more info to them aside from what I had from discord

ramble below

Atomic steel. one of his powers is super strength. Another is the ability to turn his body into steel. His dad was a former hero. But after witnessing his dad's murder by a villain he vowed revenge. Dude was barely a teen when his dad died :'(. His father was killed by Maddrix (@ninjastormhawkkat 's oc) when he was on his hero killing spree. He's pretty cold and brutal towards villians and even some civilians as well. Despite this the people of Newport cheer him on. And he has met Amazo guy one time before. He is the leader of this hero group and does have a self-righteous vibe to him.

The electric blur (in some alternate universe she becomes a villainess named Voltrage) she gain her powers as a kid when she got struck by lightning. Of course at the time she didn't know how to control herself and wound up frying her family to death by accident. For a while she was deemed a threat bc of her uncontrollably powers. electric blur can understand the Energy monster Maria. And they're actually siblings. She has to wear special types of gloves to keep herself from electrocuting anyone else.

Hydro is an alantian. He was sent out to contact the over landers (what they call us since we live on land lol) and was basically an ambassador for some time. He ended up saving people after a bad flood. They dubbed him a hero. He's pretty friendly and loyal by default. He has razor sharp teeth which are venomous. He is however deathly Afraid of felines and should be kept away for them. He can control water. And ofc being a fish person he cannot survive in a desert. He would last shorter than a human kid without any sort of protection. He is very knowledgeable about the seas and oceans so you'd never be lost at sea with him around.

Fern trap. She's from a planet that is basically super earth if that makes sense. Called Erthia (Inspired by real life findings of super Earth's in outer space!/pos) her race evolved from plants however. They're pretty advanced in technology however some stupidity with it caused their planet to experience global warming and they all fled to not die. Also because other planets were stealing their resources. Basically there are two types of erthians. Ones that rely on sunlight to thrive and the others who are carnivores like how we have carnivorous plants. And yes she has plant based powers. She once met kid math while visiting hexigon planet.

And finally the first scribble of them

For the oc challenge 💤 for Liam ❌for Atomic Steel 👑 for Electric Blur 🎃 for Carrie

Liam has a snek plushie.

Carrie aka Scarlett kitty got her costume from a clearance rack (kinda did this without her parents noticing so yeah gotta work with what she can). Though she dose upgrade/change out her costume eventually to be more uniformed.

Atomic hates the bunny onsie E.b. got him for Christmas (she got all her friends animal onesies) anddd ended up wearing it after he lost a bet to fern.

Princess E.B. nough said/pos

[melodythebunny]

Late night brainstorm The Newport heroes vs Mr. Charming. Would Mr. Charming considered them corrupt since he only considers Wordgirl and Huggy pure? Would he and Atomic Steel get along or have conflicts along the line? Oof poor Blur would be so confused and shocked when Mr. Charming's mask comes off. @dualnaturedscientist

Honestly depends? I mean

atomic steel wouldn't care for how mr.charming treated the villains. He however would step in if mr.charming targets any of the civilians since it's heroes duty to keep citizens safe etc etc and that means law abiding ones. Not the criminals. So that's where the conflicts would start at. Despite this he has more respect for Mr.charming than he has for Dr. Two brains.

Now for Fern and Hydro, they would try to stop his plans. Villains or not, they can't just stand by and let him get away with his schemes. They know the Fair city villains aren't like the Newport ones. And even then they wouldn't just go out and try to kill bad guys especially if they're not causing major harm. There's justice systems for a reason.

And yeah E.B. would be just as confused as the rest of them. Definitely not the author she remembers either way. No matter which one she believed to be Steven originally, it's like he went against everything he stood for. And no she doesn't even know his time working for his father Maddrix nor that they're even related. Would Steven even count as her mentor? I mean she lived by the book he wrote so indirectly he was??

@ninjastormhawkkat

[melodythebunny]

I also have some other headcanons for the newport heroes Rose Franklin fills in Becky on what she knows about the heroes. She tried to find out their identities in the past before she moved to Fair City. She doesn't do it when they come to Fair City after her experience with Becky. The heroes sort of adopt Becky and Rex as young hero siblings. Rex hangs out with the four more so than Becky. Dr. Two Brains doesn't like it when Becky actively hangs out with the four. He doesn't forbid her but he tries to discourage her from hanging out with them. Becky is a little wary around Atomic Steel in the beginning because he reminded her of Miss Power a bit. She felt sympathy for him when he finally told her about his dad and how he died. Becky is secretly worried and frightened a bit over Professor Terror and Maddrix the Malicious even though she hasn't met them before. (as far as she knows😈) Two Brains tells her that they are long gone and he won't let them hurt her if they do return. Becky gets confused why her dad always looks sad when she tells him about her worries over the two villains. The reason Dr. Two Brains doesn't want Becky hanging out with the four newport heroes is because he doesn't want them to mention Professor Terror or Maddrix around her. She is better off not knowing about either of them. @dualnaturedscientist

Oddly enough I can see atomic trying to mentor her. Perhaps all four of them fight over mentorship (But everyone knows it's her u-u)

E.b.: thanks to this book written by professor Steven boxleitner I was able to start my path as a hero

wordgirl: same! My dad's book helped me a lot.

E.b.: no way! He's your dad!? 👀 ✨

Fern: oh boy she's excited now-

Anddd then that's when they realize Steven was two brains

[ninjastormhawkkat]

Polaroid: Knock! Knock! Sorry for coming in through the window. Dreadful etiquette, I know!

E.b.: Get out of my house -kicks him right back out the window-

(💀 this wasn't funnier in my head)

This is what happened.
