When I think about it it’s actually kind of weird that JRO retroactively wrote in that around the time Megatron killed Sentinel, he was still trying to convince the populace to be on his side (”trying to convince the populace” as in caring about the people rather than fighting for its own sake as established in Dark Cybertron).
I mean when I think about the fact that Megatron had the entire Senate massacred (bar a few random Senators), that’s not exactly a move that inspires confidence broadly in a population? Maybe I’m coming at it from a privileged perspective but I feel like in any given society, massacring the entire standing government is a move that WOULD appeal to radical elements (aka the people that probably already stood with Megatron), but it would definitely not inspire confidence in the Decepticons to literally anyone else. The Senate being evil or no, a rebel group that kills (or arranges to be killed) the entire standing government body isn’t exactly a group that most people would look at and go “hmm they will definitely stop killing right at this point and they will definitely not continue to use violence as a form of political action and control.”
#squiggposting#jro being on his megatron apologism as usual i suppose#inb4 someone calls me a centrist for this take lmao#can you think of a single event in history where an entire government was murdered#and the government who arose in its place didn't continue killing people just like they killed the previous government?#if you can then please tell me because i'd love to know#i think the only saving grace of this is that there was no actual footage/proof captured of who killed the senate#but also megatron was dueling sentinel in the open and then killed HIM so i feel like it's fairly obvious to the populace#that the decepticons were behind the senate murder even if there's no 'proof'#there's no other political party on cybertron with enough political or military clout to pull off something so ambitious#like idk sure the government is evil and most if not all of them deserved to die#but also straight up murdering a whole government doesn't really prove that you will be a good government in turn you know what i mean#i'm not sure how megatron expected to win the populace of cybertron to his side by demonstrating that he and his followers#primary tactic is violence#it's like okay you destroyed the evil government so what are your plans for like restabilization and creating some sort of mechanism#for representation? the work doesn't just stop with killing people#but if you just straight up kill all of your political opponents... that doesn't really inspire confidence in the ability to rule#given that war is politics and politics requires things like concessions and trials and some sort of you know#not just killing all of your enemies#anyways i do appreciate the added depth to megatron but like#i'm pretty sure that addition to the plot was 100% JRO retconning things to make megatron more sympathetic#i suppose i can buy that at that point in his life megatron viewed such violence AS a way to express his care for the people#but just because that's what he THINKS doesn't mean the rest of the world would see it as such

A lot of DCxDP AUs use the idea that the Lazarus Pits are just slightly fucked up Ectoplasm. I love this idea, but it does make me wonder what would happen to Ra's.
So, AU where Ra's dies, and they are confident he is going to stay dead this time. Yay! Except... Ra's turns into a ghost because of all that Ectoplasm.
It takes a while for them to realize this because he is keeping it quiet at first, gathering resources, planning, ect. Plus the bats don't really know anything about ghosts. (Yes, DC has ghosts, but they are like a different breed of ghost or something.)
Maybe they think there is a new player on the scene or something, but they don't think it is Ra's. They don't realize the truth till his plan is already in motion. Maybe he even overshadowed Damian?
Dying has somehow made Ra's into a worse enemy because this time they don't even know how to fight him. Luckily, the ghost hero Phantom is willing to help.
#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#damian wayne#ra's al ghul#dc#dc comics#danny phantom#dp#dc x dp#dc x dp crossover#dpxdc#dp x dc crossover#my post#i think overshadowing Damian makes sense because that was already almost a plot point#I think the batfam fighting ghosts is under utilized in this crossover#especially fighting the ghosts of old enemies#for the first time Jason is forced to accept that murder can't actually fix all problems#the reality that killing your enemies might just makes them stronger is enough to make him want to pull his hair out

"You never told me where you got it - where you got all my favourite dresses." Rhys arched a dark brow. "You never figured it out?" I shook my head. For a moment, he said nothing, his head dipping to study the dress. "My mother made them." (...) I gazed a reverant hand down my sleeve. "I- I had no idea." His eyes were star bright. "Long ago when I was still a boy, she made them - all your gowns. A trousseau for my future bride." His throat bobbed. "Every piece... Every piece I have ever given you to wear, she made them. For you"
Sometimes you just read something and can't help but think about the implications.
"aww how sweet his mom made all her favourite gowns how wholesome" nonono EVERY. PIECE. Ma'am please he's still a baby boy you're making a lot of assumptions about his future preferences.

There is a universe, somehow, where everything aligned just perfectly and left four desperate children on Silco's doorstep. A universe where Piltover is just a bit more ruthless: where Vander's connections aren't trustworthy and where his foolish sentimentality wins.
Vander's arrested, in Vi's place. He's so proud of her for trying to do the right thing - but he'll not make a sacrifice out of Felicia's daughter. The violence in the streets has to stop and Piltover won't stop until it has someone to blame for the theft. So the Hound becomes a sacrificial lamb.
But remember, his agreements are flimsier, and the trust between enforcer and undercity is as thin as the razor blade Mylo keeps in his pocket. The gold-trimmed enforcers aren't happy with a Hound dressed in wool - they want the girl. The one Jayce identified. Some pink-haired snot-nosed filthy brat. The thief. The terrorist.
They labeled her a terrorist: Vi. For a near-harmless explosion in a district she would've been beaten in, just for the grime in her hair.
And the Hound won't have that.
For the second time in his life, Vander's knuckles are stained with enforcer blood and the undercity begins to burn. Vi's next to him, eager to fight, but scared. She's just a kid after all. Always eager. Always scared.
Claggor, Mylo, and Powder come running as they limp back to the Last Drop. Powder's too busy crying into Vi's shirt to pay much attention to the screams outside. Reinforcements are just a few minutes away. The rats of the undercity retreat to spare themselves from the brutality beneath an enforcer's heel and the streets grow quieter and quieter. They all know how to slip away when the time demands it, but this is more than sneaking through the sewers and waiting for the storm to pass.
The enforcers, the council, Piltover: they'll keep coming. The blood on Vander and Vi's hands ensures that much. And they don't want him -
He looks to where Vi is hugging Powder back, a: "Sorry Powpow," being breathed. "Didn't mean to scare you -"
He can't let that happen. He can make himself the bigger problem - the biggest threat and that will buy the kids time and give those rich bastards a victory.
But then... it'll just be them.
Claggor's strong, Mylo's sly, Powder's clever, and Vi is brave. They're all tough as nails and they'll make it. At least until this underbelly starts ripping itself around. Vander's a smart man who knows what will happen in his absence, the cannibalistic tendencies of desperate people who need scapegoats.
And Vi's already willing to play the martyr. She proved that much. No, if he leaves he needs to leave them with something. Anything. Something that's as willing to fight for their future as...
That's when he gets the terrible idea. Right around the same time he hears the tell-tale racket of enforcers running down cobblestone. He grabs a bar napkin, and Claggor bars the door. He fumbles messily around for a piece of graphite or a damned pen.
Vi pushes Powder behind her and grabs a half-empty bottle from a table. There's a shatter as she arms herself with razor glass. These kids are well versed at making weapons, they have to be.
They'll only get better at it if he finishes this note. He's signing their lives away to a different demon. There's no guarantee they'll live long enough to give him the note. It's a terrible idea -
"I'll never betray Zaun's children"
Powder's climbing behind the bar with him, clinging to his leg. Mylo climbs over the other side, fiddling with a collection of rusty steak knives. Claggor's grabbed a chair and broke it, two wooden beams in either hand.
Suffocating in the streets is better than dying on a bridge.
"Take this," he gives it to Vi before slipping on his knuckles. "Find Silco. Ask around, and he'll find you."
"What?" it's a challenge from her. She's ready to fight to keep what she has.
She doesn't realize that every fight comes with a loss. And eventually, it's going to take everything from her. Once you bloody those knuckles you never stop - not really.
But not today. Today it'll only take him, and hopefully, she'll remember what they talked about. She'll remember that despite this shitshow - he's proud of her for finding a peaceful solution. He's proud of her for putting down those fists.
But there was no way in hell he was going to let her go.
"Take care of each other," he orders slipping on his other gauntlet. Mylo and Powder stare at him with wide eyes. Claggor's lip is trembling.
"Remember. Remember, to look out for each other!" he orders.
"No!" Powder seems to understand now as Vander pulls the bracings away from the door. She scrambles over the bar with a muffled wail. Mylo stops her right as Vander throws the door open.
"Vander!" Vi screams, but the hound is loose.
He's in the streets and he's set about making these fools remember why they follow the light. Why they fear the undercity so badly they chase its children to sate their fury. Dark things live in the undercity. Zaun's children are raised in air so heavy it turns their lungs to iron. Her streets sharpen their teeth and build calluses over their knuckles until the only thing they feel is the warm crimson in their wake.
Vander had hoped he'd never do this - be this. But jaws shatter under his fist faster than glasses fill with his whiskey. He's good at this. Always has been. The kids slip away - he knows that much.
Everything else is a bit of a blur. He glimpses Ekko, once, on the rooftops. The boy heads after the other four and Vander is thankful for that. Benzo didn't survive the first wave... he doesn't have much chance to reflect on that because there's another enforcer in his grip and a new scream in the air.
He buys the kids plenty of time. Too much time.
Enough time for all of Zaun to hear the news: the Hound's fighting back! Five enforcers are dead! Six! Ten! Enough time for Vi and Mylo to find their informants.
Silco isn't exactly a subtle name. He's well hidden, that's true, but a familiar blond limped his way over to one of the abandoned warehouses after Vi kicked the shit out of him. Word on the street is that he's in with someone named Silco. Doesn't mean much to the informant or to Vi.
It's enough. They slip into one of Zaun's many industrial districts just as Vander finally falls.
Piltover's attack dogs got him - they would eventually, he knew that much. A wild hound is fierce but numbers always win. Part of him's happy to die on familiar cobblestones. Better than the cool stone of prison - better than anything Piltover had in mind for him. This way, the kids would know what happened to him. They wouldn't do anything stupid.
Well... they'd probably still do some stupid things. He coughed out a laugh, blood hacking out of his lungs as it all began to fade. Good. They deserved to be a bit stupid. They were kids...
Just kids.
Hopefully, Silco remembers that...
Silco? Oh, Silco remembers. He'd been making a plan revolving around that. Kids are foolish. Kids are loyal. Children are painfully easy to manipulate and kill. Children are easy to make disappear.
Killing Vander and his children was quite literally on his upcoming schedule. It was going to be a glorious sort of revenge, making Vander watch it happen - helpless to stop it as he drowned in his own pacifism. It was going to be inhumane. The final nail in Silco's old coffin.
So pardon him for taking a moment to stare at the victims delivered to his doorstep. Half of him wants to laugh. The other half feels like he's been shoved back into that damn river.
The children only stare back, wide-eyed and curious. Scared too... haunted in some wonderfully poetic way.
"Can I help you?" Silco demands cooly after his disbelief has been satiated.
The pink one steps forward, naturally. She's Vander's little favorite, his poster child: basically a replica. Taking charge is probably laced in her veins.
She hands him a napkin.
"He told us to come here," she breathes, and it almost sounds like a prayer.
Silco cannot focus on anything but the napkin.
"Well... not here," the wily boy in the back disagrees slowly as he gives a scathing glance to a dead mouse in the corner. "He told us to find you."
Silco watches them carefully and then unfolds the napkin. If this is a trap it's ridiculous and definitely not Vander's idea. Perhaps these children are simply suicidal - or stupid.
He reads it.
Pauses. Reads it again.
He glances to that pink one again: Violet. Felicia's daughter. The other one is to her right, clinging to the elder's bruised knuckles. Powder... right?
Mylo. And Claggor.
Vander's children.
Vander's children!
He reads it one more time.
"It is kind of messy," Claggor's sheepish tone contradicts his appearance sharply. "He was in a rush -"
"I can read it," Silco snarls. He whirls around and plunges further into the bowels of the warehouse.
The children follow, blindly. Because they were told to. They follow the devil into his den because Vander told them to.
Why Silco let them, he'll never be able to explain. Never. Why he didn't finish was Vander started: destroy all remnants of their old life, including those damned children - he'll never say.
He can't. Because Vander sent him his children and a note. It changes nothing.
Except it changes everything.

tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.
but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.
#qsmp neg#qsmp crit#discourse#<- for blacklists#im not grumping or anything im just musing on like. the mechanics of why everyone is so upset about the latest fight#and how it can be avoided while still keeping these fights genuinely difficult and intense#its hard because there's so many players and they all have wildly different strengths and weaknesses#so someone who could take on the code easy needs that enemy scaled differently than someone who isn't a big fighter#but it's hard to do that in a world where they interact w the same enemy#and you only have so much man-power to cater to a big server like this one#and then you bring in the big powerful items that the players can and can't access but which the admins have ultimate power over#and the fact that some of the admins themselves have lag issues or aren't super great at pvp so they accommodate that with better gear#and it starts getting messy#but for the fights themselves yeah regardless of what armour or gear or killing-methods they use there should Always be a win condition#and idk maybe there was one and we just didn't get to see it#but if that win condition is 'parents sit in the safe room with their babies while the others are overrun'#then i think there are ways to build better win conditions#anyway i love game design and player/dm interactions qsmp hire me now i want to know your behind the scenes#jk im too busy to apply#but man. i wanna nerd out so bad that sometimes i think about it

anyways, speaking of cannibalism, wrt frey pies in particular, it just hit me that the rat cook song is not just a way for wyman to slyly telegraph what he did w/o any of his in-world foes noticing, it could also be his justification just as much as inspiration. let's look back at how we learned of the legend through bran:
"It was not for murder that the gods cursed him," Old Nan said, "nor for serving the Andal king his son in a pie. A man has a right to vengeance. But he slew a guest beneath his roof, and that the gods cannot forgive." -Bran IV, aSoS
so, in other words: 1) violating guest right is the most heinous of crimes and 2) if guest right is not violated then murder and even cannibalizing the murdered to feed to their own kin is a-ok so long as the motive is personal revenge. by giving guest gifts to the 3 frey envoys to end any guest rite bond asap and get to the killings, wyman not only gets just a feeling of moral superiority by at least not committing the same type of crime as the enemies he killed, he also ensured that his vengeance could be divinely sanctioned as a natural right correctly exercised, unlike how the rat cook did his. he learned his lessons from this northern legend and improved upon the actions of this nightfort cook accordingly. thing is, the justified right to vengeance has to be just an old gods thing, not fitting in with the seven (which house manderly had converted to 1000s of years ago back in the reach) as the christainity stand-in, which is just evidence of the depth of manderly northern assimilation and/or that old dark ways never entirely disappear, no matter the religion. wyman manderly can still worship the "new" gods with just as much urge toward old-fashioned bloody revenge as any old gods worshipping northman, not so different from his vassal ser bartimus in the wolf's den who bragged to davos that his ancestors were likely among those who once hung slavers' entrails in a heart tree as a bloody offering to the old gods.
#valyrianscrolls#asoiaf#asoiaf meta#wyman manderly#this is why i think takes of asoiaf being purely pacifist and anti-revenge as even a wish/feeling are a tad overblown#eating your enemies and feeding them to their own kin in pies is obvsly a twisted fucked-up ott thing to do#but i think its hard to argue everyone having a hell yeah reaction to wyman's frey hatred are misreading the text#and that grrm meant for all those quotes to be in the same spirit as tyrion feeling pity for joff's death agony or theon being tortured#like c'mon it's not a matter of unquestioning admiration or fullhearted disapproval only#big walder frey is even younger than joffrey but grrm does not afford this child death-likely by another child-w the same pathos#and it just illustrates how dorne gets the shaft as a northern counterpart bc their revenge efforts are purely doomed#and the rw does get somewhat avenged while elia's rape and murder (and the death of rhaenys if you believed her aegon is yg) can never#be avenged or have any true justice either since unlike the freys & roose all the ppl responsible for crimes against elia are already dead#(with gregor being undead after brutally killing oberyn too so no satisfaction of justice or revenge there)#(c)lsb

Do you guys ever think about how the first thing Eclipse did when he got absolutely god-like power was just, make everyone love him without questions. cuz I do. I think about it a lot.
#xero says things#it was so long ago i feel like it might have been forgotten but like.#isn't that kind of heartbreaking#you will not destroy the world#you will not kill your enemies#you won't even scratch them#you just... make all of their friends your own#godly power cannot undo the neglect you have faced#there is a hole inside you that is unmendable#but you don't know how else to fill it. so you will try anyways and ignore how it fits awkwardly and painfully in your heart#frown......#sun and moon show#the sun and moon show#tsams#sams eclipse

I know it's a reference to Bilbo, who the class was based off of, but I love that burlgars in LotRO have the Riddle skill. Love the implication that in the middle of a fight you're just like, "Hey, by the way, you're in a dark room in front of a door. On either side of the door are two guards. One always tells the truth and the other always lies. What question --"
#lotro#and a good 95% of the time it works#you have successfully incapacitated your enemy by asking them an obtuse riddle#'i know i was just trying to kill you two seconds ago but i just gotta stop and figure this out.'#'what walks on four legs in the morning two at noon and three in the evening?'#'well first of all im literally a spider so i feel like this question might be a little bit rude but in answer -- '

I love how Brennan as a DM was all "Riz, you need more than good grades. You need to stand out. You need showstopping extracurriculars." and to Kristen he was all, "I'm going to throw the weight of an entire religion at you, make you relive your family trauma through your brother and give you relationship issues."
Yet, SOMEHOW, when Brennan introduced little miss four dogs, the driven type A rogue, and had her run for president, setting up the perfect foil for Riz's character and an amazing extracurricular for Riz to aim for in one fell swoop, THE ENTIRE PARTY WENT "KRISTEN 4 PREZ!!!! SHRIMP PARTY 2.0!!!"
Don't get me wrong, I love that Ally went for the fucking throat on vibes alone. Like, that was truly loathing at first sight and I love that for them, I really do.
BUT ALSO THAT WAS RIZ'S PLOTLINE KRISTEN. YOU HAVE LIKE THREE PLOTLINES KRISTEN. WHY ARE YOU ADDING MORE TO YOUR PLATE KRISTEN.
#i do love that the entire party without a thought went 'Kristen kill this bitch. politically. then physically'#and riz without a fucking second thought assigned himself as kristens campaign manager#they are so ride or die and i love it#rip Brennan trying to get the plot back of track by having Jawbone be like 'hey Riz dontcha think maybe shes EXACTLY like you?!'#and riz was all 'What? im too busy making buttons and spying to read between your lines. i got tryouts in four minutes'#anyway#wild#im expecting riz to declare that the rat muncher cleric is his nemesis now. just from vibes alone.#riz and kristen just swap enemies for no fucking reason. queer solidarity tbh. love that for them#fantasy high#fantasy high junior year#riz gukgak#kristen applebees#brennan lee mulligan

i need to get crazier about zamdoons i think
#mine.txt#lsshipping#zamdoons#what if you jokingly dared the most suicidal guy on the server to kill himself only to immediately regret it when he immediately agreed#so you try to convince him to stop but it didnt work but it lead to the two of you discovering a heart dupe exploit#which lead to your quest for immortality which little did you know#would eventually led to you being at odds with that same guy over and over again#which culminated in you beheading him in a ritualistic display of an execution for all the server to see#but what if the man you killed; your longtime enemy#just looked so beautiful in the light that you couldnt help but give his beaheaded head a kiss#what if later on that same man gave you the will to fight back after you ran away from the fight#after being betrayed by ppl who you thought were your allies#and offered you a place on a team that you sought hard to destroy at first#anyways i hope they interact more its always so fun when they do#i esp loved when red managed to scam zam when he was making his deals that was so funny#and i was hoping that would lead to more interactions but none of the deals ever went anywhere lmao but its okay i forgive them

not really a request! just saw ur tf2 post and uhhh about went a lil feral at the mention that u may consider writing for the characters? 👉👈 love ur content so much pls pls if u choose to write for tf2 i will be in ur debt- 🙏
no pressure tho pls write what u wanna! love ur blog!!!
I really like the idea of the power imbalance that could come from a victim who can't use the respawn machine; especially if everyone else on the base can. The isolation that comes with being a new member of the team that already has years of chemistry, knowing that assassins don't exactly get an HR for interpersonal conflicts on the job site, anyway. You're more vulnerable, socially and physically. If a Pyro decides to light you up, you're permanently dead. Even if you manage to kill someone, they'll just come back a few minutes later.
Maybe Medic or Engineer saying it will only take a week or two until your respawn is available (and "delaying" it more and more, simply because it's funny to watch). Pauling calling you and saying they're not planning to give you respawn until you manage a higher killstreak.
Everyone in the base is a sadist. They probably don't even like you, let alone feel deeper emotions when they all nearly kill you during off hours.
It's probably only after months of constant near misses that one of the members starts to think of just how far they could take your desire to stay alive. Your respawns still not up, so you're not in a position to say no...
OR, for your consideration: someone on the other team realizing you don't have a respawn because there isn't a version of you on their team. Spy is probably the first to pick up on this (maybe Medic is a close second) since keeping a level head and multitasking is his job description. He knows you're vulnerable. And then it just becomes fun to try to single you out every round.
#i say a pyro because a pyro on enemy team is just as likely to kill you as a pyro that IS on your team#also all other enemy classes probably figure out you don't have a respawn when you start scrounging around for healthkits and trying to pul#sneak attacks despite not being able to disguise yourself#or if you're a wuss and ask for an early ceasefire. you haven't even died once! and then it clicks#tbh you should fear open spaces more than anything. sniper might not get the memo and your story ends abruptly... ^^;#dude isekaiied tf2? like you know its a game and they have in lore explanations for everything but you try using skills you see in letsplay#in the matches and everyone looks at you like WTF are you doing. Heavy refuses to give you a sandwich. You try mimicking spys mask#and it doesn't even work. Get bullied for weeks. STEAL one of his disguises tho... Now we're talking#while we are at it#just steal a shit ton of stuff off dead bodies. looting for the win#yandere tf2#yandere team fortress 2

It makes me wanna facepalm whenever I remember how hard Poppy was crushing on Creek cuz she's so in love with Branch now and that could've been Creek but he was a fucking idiot and blew it
#the fact that he sold poppy and all their friends to an enemy to save himself and in the second movie branch almost dies to protect poppy#to everyone who's trying to justify him remember that you have to be a special type of an idiot to believe that your enemy will spare you#also creek was trying to make poppy dislike branch and then he hurts her so bad he throws her into branch's arms#he's just so bad I'm happy that poppy found someone who truly loves her now#like you don't have to die for me but you don't have to get me killed either thank you very much#also how broken poppy was when he did it and everyone she loves were in danger#it hurt me so bad when she lost her colours#it's fascinating how the song is about true colours and creek just showed his true colours when he betrayed them#trolls movie#trolls creek#creek#trolls branch#trolls poppy#poppy#branch#broppy#trolls world tour#trolls band together#trolls holiday#trolls holiday in harmony

i think it's a really interesting phenomenon in sci fi and fantasy stories where an entire species is assigned a moral code with no room for nuance because it most often seems to be used as an excuse as to why it's okay to just slaughter them. come across a group of goblins in dnd? oh well, it's fine if you kill them, all goblins are bloodthirsty and would kill you without second thought anyway. it's okay if we do horrible things to this alien, their species has a ruthless moral code and every single one of them adheres to it with no exceptions. we don't need to feel guilty about this because if it was the other way around they would kill us, with no exceptions. the species that are labeled as enemies are unilaterally bad. but of course there's nuance among the species that are your allies. why do we assume that other species are so uniform when humans are so incredibly varied?
#went to jupiter got stupider#i have more thoughts about this but i need to plan dnd#this is the kind of shit that distracts me bc i start deciding on enemies and get conflicted about putting a group of guys#thats just there to be killed#anyway if youre in my dnd session tonight dont read into this <3#i feel as if theres also definitely some racist undertones to all this but i dont have time to articulate everything rn#actually also specifically in dnd the line between what gets called a race and what gets called a different species (monsters) is#interesting to think about :P
