Ultimately the resolution of Jason and Cass fights comes down to the fact that while he has his own ideals that don't mesh with the bats, Jason can be flexible. DC skipped the whole reconciliation with the family but while he's willing to kill it's generally a means to an end to him, not the whole entire point unless you're talking about Joker. Meanwhile for Cass the question of killing vs not killing is dead serious to her which means any time they're working together and things start going off track it's like:

Jason: Look if we kill this guy we send a message to his boss which makes it easier for us to negotiate with him from a position of power and I just think that-

Cass, snatching one of his guns and pointing it at her own head: Go on, pull the trigger. Kill him. Kill me. Go tell Batman that you let his daughter die to make a negotiation easier. He already let you die so no problem right? You think we should die? You think our life only worthwhile as part of a plan, just because we're killers? Are we doomed? Are we rotten to the core with no hope of redemption? Go on then, kill us and kill part of your soul alongside it. You clearly don't care for it so why are you even trying? Kill yourself along with us, come on Jason let's all just die right?

Jason, slowly backing away: I think you may be projecting a tiny bit so just. Calm down before I call the suicide hotline please.

Cass, slowly lowering the gun and knocking the random henchman unconscious: Yeah that's what I thought, fucking pussy.

Jason: Mm yeah you know what I hate you actually. Fuck this mission I'll just shoot you right now if you're going to be this annoying about it.

Jason, explaining things later to Dick: So I just kept shooting at her until I ran out of bullets and we both calmed down enough to call a truce. We tracked the guy down and didn't kill anyone but I did blow up the batplane just as a last minute screw you. Is she always this uh... intense?

Dick: Yeah, one time I broke up with Barbara and she threw me out a window. She's just like that.

I think the Batfam are chronic sufferers of "everyone wants to fix the problem, and nobody wants to listen" syndrome, and they drive each other so mad they that have to go brood on a balcony or gargoyle because you just finished reluctantly spitting out your issue and someone's already offering a seven point plan they've been working on.

Mostly just knowing that the boys will always choose each other first in all scenarios, but I'm picturing a life or death/existence scenario where it's between the other dead boy or Crystal.

If it's Edwin making the choice to save Charles it's painful but not entirely unexpected. Something along the lines of "I am genuinely sorry, Crystal. I wish there was another way."

If it's Charles making the choice he's fighting it until he can't. He's looking for alternate solutions until there are none. He's crying and apologizing and Crystal can admit it hurts a fucking lot that she can't be even one person's first choice as Charles chooses to save Edwin.

WIP of arcane survivor Jayce vs LoL in game Viktor!!!

Jayce was sent away by the old Viktor we see in Arcane, stating that another Jayce, the one we see in the show, will be the one to end the time loop and sends this Jayce to LoL world where Machine Herald Viktor is.

It starts off as Jayce trying to find a way back home because he can’t accept what happen so he breaks into the academy to see if they have gemstones so he can make an anomaly but in the middle of searching, he instead finds Viktor, who was also breaking in to steal things. They get into a fight with Viktor not wanting any witnesses and Jayce defending himself LOL but they form a truce once Jayce says he’s not with Piltover and that he can help him escape if they work together.

Jayce learns about accepting the cost of his ambition and the loss of his late universe while Viktor learns to accept human error and that, in the pursuit to do good, lost his way. They steer each other in the right direction and fall in love while LoL Jayce is watching this happen with a jaw dropped.

Jayce was sent away by the old Viktor we see in Arcane, stating that another Jayce, the one we see in the show, will be the one to end the time loop and sends this Jayce to LoL world where Machine Herald Viktor is. The reason there’s two Arcane Jayce’s is because while being transported to the Ruined piltover, the Arcane was glitching due to Hextech runes, yadda yadda, and caused a mirror dimension to be formed and thus, Mirror Jayce was born and sent away by Viktor.

I call this the “Far, Far Away” AU!!!

"i only like love triangles if they end up poly at the end" well i only like them ending up poly at the end if it's in a fucked up way where they're still toxic and jealous of each other.

I feel like every time I hear "Bells Hells broke their word", there's this omission or forgetfulness (and I get it; this campaign feels like it took forever and it's easy to tune out conversations that feel circular and unending) that Bells Hells knows that if the Raven Queen and the Arch Heart were forced to comply by the rest of their family, the Divine Gate would be rent asunder and there would be a second Calamity in order to wrench things back to the status quo – that being the gods are all safe and protected and no one knows about Predathos.

The only reason it didn't happen already was the gods had hope Bells Hells would kill Ludinus (which they did); if Ludinus had defeated Bells Hells then the Gods would have immediately busted down the Gate and commit another Calamity in order to stop him... but the Raven Queen and the Arch Heart made it sound like the Second Calamity would happen regardless of who won, and all because the knowledge of Predathos the GodEater, their most feared predator, was out there.

But, Ludinus disseminated that information across all of Exandria, and there's been information exchange between Ruidians and Exandrians. The only way to take that information back would be to kill all the Ruidians AND kill every single Exandrian, just to be sure. Wipe the slate clean. Start over. Destroy every magical and non-magical record, including the people.

There would be no bargaining with the gods without Predathos, for they are too strong and would have no reason to listen. Any parley of "can you Gods leave forever, or can we leave the Hallowed Cage alone or have Vasselheim turn Kreviris into a military-religious controlled state colony" (that's a Bad Thing) would be met with "or we just kill the entire planet and moon so the information is guaranteed to be lost and there can be no more attempts at freeing Predathos". The Prime Dieties would grumble about it, but they would still go through with eradicating the mortals they love because they prioritize themselves and their Betrayer siblings more than mortals. We have proof of that.

I feel like the Gods broke the social contract first. If we want to point fingers at someone breaking their word, they should be included as well.

its fun having 1 thing be the cause of your spiral to maddness and pure unadulturated rage.

[astro-b-o-y-d]

Good ideas that you can do for yourself at the moment:

Make a playlist on Youtube of videos that'll be a good mood lifter. Whether it's cute animals or just a playlist of videos you know will make you crack up laughing.

Make a Discord channel in any servers you run for a similar purpose. Maybe allow other people to post as well, as a means of lifting their own moods up.

Rewatch an old series you were hyperfixated on in the past and haven't visited in a while but have overall fond memories about. Completely burying yourself in nostalgia can be dangerous if you go overboard with it, but sometimes you just need to go back to that point in your life and focus on other things for a short while.

Since Trudy is partially organic, is she going to die if she doesn't get charged? Because presumably the robot bits are supplying oxygen and nutrients to the meaty bits?

It was said by a mutual of mine before as well that there's certain lack of engagement with Shadow Milk's character outside of his situationship with Pure Vanilla, and even the dynamic is being what it seems verrrrry flanderized . aND I think if you really want to angst Shadow Milk its like. YOU CAN do that and i dont know if anyone is doing it right cuz im too scared to look. but like

u have to understand that if there' anything shadow milk feels remorseful, or regretful about, is that he doesn't. its too early i think to say for sure where his character is going, but i think it is safe to say he does not regret anything, does not feel bad about anything he's done or going to do, and probably has never felt bad about it at all.

what makes his character so compelling as a villain AND a personality, is how unabashedly shamelessly sadistic and despicable he is. he thrives in others suffering. there's a chance he spent all his divine self in solitude, aware of everything everywhere all the time. because to know is to constantly find yourself in isolation when people dont want to face the truth. and what he's doing is twisting it the way he wants, lying to the point of willing it into reality.

and how can you angst it? its his lonely realization of the truth he's hiding from, that will never make him able to connect with anyone. its knowing that your beliefs in something greater, something innocent, were false, and you will be destined to be the only one to Know. his perfect world is of lies and hatred, because he's so full of it himself, where suffering and bliss is one as are truths and lies. he's a deeply sad individual and not in a sympathetic, understandable way (unlike burning spice who shows active signs of remorse and suicide ideation as he's struggling with his failures). his conclusion makes him feel comfortable in inflicting and subjecting people to unspeakable psychological pain.

i cant tell you what to do if you want to feel sympathy for shadow milk, but i really think there are far more complex and interesting things you could do with his own failures. he thinks the only way to null his own hatred for the cruel reality is to make others suffer, to make it where he's constantly comfortable and entertained. he thinks if he tries hard enough and torments people enough, it will make, ultimately, a better world of chaos and, I THINK, a world where knowing the truth will equal to nothing.

thats where his entire conflict with pure vanilla is coming from. he THINKS he knows everything, and he THINKS that in seeing pure vanilla so naively believing in truth to be something that prevails, he can make a show of the ultimate proof that all of pure vanilla's beliefs are rubbish, by breaking him. by turning pure vanilla Into him. by isolating him and making him suffer the way shadow milk did, in everpresent and everaware solitude.

tldr he's lonely for the fact that he's an all knowing entity and thus is hateful towards the world and people so he inflicts it upon others in a manner of manipulation and constructing the narrative the way he wants it to be for personal entertainment and comfort. and he loves it. he uses pure vanilla to prove his point. you shouldnt feel bad for him and in fact you should be beating him with sticks every day every minute every second and his angst is nothing but selfish spiral he has no desire to get out of because he enjoys it and uses to justify his actions.
