#so basically psychic powers

[slymanner]

Look all I'm saying is if that a shadow game can work THAT well and be so well designed story wise and gameplay wise

HE can work

Thinking about @gehtsis’s children and how terrifying it would be to get their team assigned to help you escape from a mystery dungeon.

If these are what my heroes look like I'm 99% certain I'd be screaming and running the other way. Menacing cryptid-looking grim reaper and cursed psychic clay doll. I love them.

Gnomon come back your confusing attitude and ludicrous powerset is intriguing me. I want to see more of what you can actually do because jfc your powerscaling implications and the implications of how fucking powerful Duke could become are insane. Plus it would force the writers to actually WRITE DUKE JFC I MISS HIM

Pirate duo! The first one of which I'll be playing in a homestuck dnd oneshot my friend Lia is hosting ^^ his name is Luciol Aicynn the second one is designed and going to be played by my friend Kai, her name is as of yet undecided but she's the captain and its ironically Luciol's job to get them out of trouble most of the time

X-men but. It’s Spiderverse but also- it’s focused around Professor X/telepath users-type characters 😙😙😙

Already got ideas for who’s who:

a teenage Madelyne Pryor (AKA goblin queen/Jean Grey’s clone) is Miles (could of just made them Jean but I didn’t want to hajhahjahggfg)

mentally not okay/at first still drug addicted D.O.F.P! Charles is in Peter B’s place

a variant of Scott who gained Jean’s powers after her death as Spider! Gwen Stacey

Raven/Mystique who was reformed but then somewhat went back to her old ways as uncle Aaron/Prowler (idk how that would work, maybe she was put in charge or volunteered to look after Madelyne :/)

& old Charles would be in the slot of the Peter from Miles timeline AKA he dies, therefore setting Madelyne up for her arc as Miles had in the movie 👍

not sure who the other Spider People or the villains would be,,,

idk what this whole idea is, I just want more main character Madelyne Pryor Stuff ig mfggjhhgdffdeebb 😙

Spoiler. Perhaps Griffin and Valtor based because of who I am as a person?

...The fact that I had trouble thinking of anything about Griffin x Valtor because I have a lot of ideas for them for the rewrite but all of them are discarded in various degrees. I changed the concepts of those scenes and the characters so many times that I have no idea what is going on anymore. That said, I was looking at my notes and I got an exciting, fresh angle to Valtor's behavioral patterns.

Valtor is hilarious in this because after he imprisons Griffin, he's visiting her at least once a day. He just can't help it. She's the only one that truly understands the goal here, not to mention that the Trix make him uneasy. I'm gonna go on a slight detour here about the situation with the Trix to give a better idea of the situation because I wanted to talk about it.

I absolutely despise the idea that the Trix will be so cringefail fight each other over a man. Plus, Darcy is literally Griffin and Valtor's daughter so I have gone in a different direction. First of all, they remind Valtor way too much of the Ancestral Witches and he simply Does Not Vibe TM. However, they will be much more dangerous left unsupervised, especially if any of the ex Coven members get a hold of them. Now while the Trix were with Darkar, they met some of the ex Coven members but, thankfully, none of them mentioned Valtor and his role in events so the Trix are blissfully unaware of who he is.

Valtor would like to keep it that way so he focuses on his divide and conquer strategy where they are concerned. He tries to make them jealous of the attention he pays to each of them but Icy is the only one who might be interested in him romantically sexually. Darcy wants his approval to a point where even she can't understand why until she hears that he was partners with Griffin and she remembers that she had the same feeling towards Griffin so what gives; is he her father and Griffin - her mother (as she has been suspecting for a while now)?* And Stormy just simply does not care as long as there's some shit to wreck AND she's with her sisters. (I can't afford another tangent so I'm gonna put the thing about Stormy in the tags.)

*Imagine the heart attack that Valtor almost has when Darcy starts asking him about his past with Griffin. They have an extremely funny case of misunderstanding where Valtor has heard enough about the Trix' relationship with Griffin to know that they suspect she has some kind of connection to the Coven because she knows things that she shouldn't know so he assumes that Darcy is trying to make him give himself away as part of the Coven and a creation of the Ancestral Witches. Meanwhile, Darcy is just trying to piece together the timeline and figure out if Griffin and Valtor are, in fact, her parents and she's getting so fucking frustrated by Valtor's extremely vague responses that she starts suspecting that he is hiding something about the Coven as well.

So Valtor resorts to plan B, which is to bait them with promises of power. Now the Trix literally need him and the protection he can give them or it's back to jail for them, and they are painfully aware of that fact. Unfortunately for him, that leads them to start digging and finally figure out what the deal is with him but anyway. All of this to say that the Trix have a completely different understanding of his quest for gaining more power and the ways in which he means to accomplish it. For them power is a literal means of survival and their one patented strategy is to steal the most powerful magic they can find so that it's theirs and no one else's. And that is exactly what Valtor convinces them is his own approach - steal all the powerful magic you can. Basically that is what show!Valtor does. However, that is literally just a front and not his main Objective TM and that is what brings me back to Griffin.

Not only was Griffin the only one who was ever truly his partner and not just standing by him because of the Coven's agenda or for personal gain, but she also knows his true method of collecting power - by dictating what people think. If you look at his behavior on the show, Valtor is constantly manipulating people via promises of what they want. There's the Trix, Cassandra and Chimera, Diaspro, even Bloom. Basically, the true power that he collects is the ability to control people's desires and from there directing entire kingdoms to get what he wants. And Griffin gets that. That was her goal as well - to change people's behavior towards dark magic users, which could be accomplished through Valtor's methods of drawing to his side people in key positions of power. Griffin does a certain amount of influencing the thoughts of her own students and their parents (some of whom are royalty/otherwise important political figures) as well.

She's the only one who truly gets his brilliance and he so likes to be admired. The Trix would not understand his true genius and he'd burst at the seams if that goes unrecognized. So he goes to her to brag. He wouldn't tell Griffin the most important details, of course, even if it wouldn't hurt since he's so sure of his victory over her and his ability to keep her imprisoned. This is definitely not the hurt and trust issues of her betrayal resurfacing alongside the simple fact that he misses her. Not just his partner in crime, but the person who would always appreciate him in full, see all of him and his brilliance that is so painfully disregarded by the sheer fact that his true form is characterized by the brute force of his demonic self.

You crying yet?

I should thank you for this ask since it literally focused for me Valtor's entire plan and behavior. I have a much more complete idea of the s3 story now than I did before I started attempting to answer this.

guh... thinking about a community + psychonauts au... yes it's a stretch but what have i ever done that isn't a stretch

[mdrnwitch]

TVDU power scalers make no sense, especially when it comes to witch abilities. Especially because the lore is so messy. Like, everyone overrates their faves because the writing around individual magical abilities is so inconsistent, and it's so annoying.
