Here's my headcanon of Cassie from Ruin DLC and why she went looking for Gregory:

Based off appearances and the trailer:

Cassie and Gregory are related, going off their similar appearance.

She went looking for Gregory when he didn't return from the Plex that night.

She is resourceful and has been to the Plex before Gregory went missing.

Their parents work at a repair shop, hence why she knows how to use different tools and tech.

She decided to visit the ruins to find out what happened to Gregory, sneaking out of the house to do so.

Cassie isn't afraid of using her surroundings and whatever she can find to fight off the malfunctioning Glams.

My Theory:

Cassie will inevitable be the last to nail Glitchtrap's coffin, as she'll be fighting off the corrupted influence of the Vanny mask.

She'll receive coded messages from Vanessa, theory is Glitch sealed Vanessa in the network to keep using her body for his own plans.

Cassie will find either an imprisoned Vanessa, injured and malnourished, wearing a powered off VR headset. She'll need to decide to save her or leave her to her demons.

While wearing the Vanny headgear, she can re-trace Vanny's route from that night in extreme detail.

I believe her parents worked for FazEnt. before, given that Gregory was familiar with computers and installation, but were let go when they informed the manager of Vanessa messing with the servers.

I feel that she suspected Vanessa wasn't to be trusted when she told their parents that Gregory was missing.

I believe that Gregory and Cassie had run into Vanny before, but Gregory sent Cassie away while he distracted Vanny.

She'll hook up the Vanny gear to the still functioning PQ games, going off notes and recordings from Vanessa.

Cassie will have to deal with Glitchtrap, who, is now fused, manipulating the Blob, the souls of the dead have moved on, to move throughout the ruins unimpeded.

Damaged Freddy and Sun/Moon are free of the virus since they lost the ability to connect to the server after the fire.

Sun/Moon is searching for parts to fix his leg; Cassie makes a deal to help him in exchange for protection from the roaming bots.

Ooh these are fascinating! Always cool to see another “Gregory had a previous encounter with Vanny” believer. I really like your ideas and honestly I’d be happy with that being how the story goes.

That being said I’m gonna be MAD if I DID predict a “Gregory has a sister” reveal but incorrectly guessed WHO his sister was /lh

Based on the success of X-Men ‘97, I’m lowkey hoping DC noticed it and, out of nowhere, make an announcement for Teen Titans ‘03.

I forgot to ask, but in your new story, Our Kindred, I’m curious about if Tiamat has a favored child like the other Titans, or is she a Titan that enjoys isolation?

Tiamat would prefer isolation, but she would have a few "local" (relatively speaking, lol) places that I think she'd visit every now and then for fun. In Russia or Svalbard, maybe. So instead of a favorite kid, she's got favorite isolated towns.

There'd be a few Titans who either don't have their own kid or who don't stop at one. Fenrir and Rodan, for example, have multiple kids who are Theirs. Or Mothra, who considers the Chens hers but also has staked at least partial claim on Maddie. Scylla only has one, Barb the queen MUTO doesn't have any, Behemoth and Methuselah each have one kid but also each consider a particular swath of land Theirs, so anyone who lives on it is also technically Theirs. Godzilla has his Pup and isn't interested in having another, but he would have considered Serizawa his.

Kong used to have a lot. Now he just has Jia.

Alrighty, after taking some inspiration from the recent X Men 97 and now that the Krakoa Era is finally wrapping up, I would like taking this opportunity in explaining a sort of take on this idea of an entire nation of supernatural peoples and beings from all across the globe and giving it a….Titanic spin to it

Basically

What if The (formerly Teen) Titans have a Krakoa Arc to call their own?

Yes this idea will be based on my little Fanon universe that’s in my Pinned Post so anyways Brace Yourselves My Friends

Background: Taking place an in universe year or two after Dick and Kory’s epic honeymoon and after a more or less steady status quo for the DCU, things start escalating with a grand alliance of Planet Tamaran’s enemies from all across the Vega System reconvene once again to seize the planet for themselves. While the Tamaraneans under their Empress Komand’r are well prepared for such a threat, so have their enemies in advance with equipment and tech from Apokolips. Despite their best efforts, Komand’r and her people are deeply struggling against New God tech and it’s not too long before their enemies surround their capital demanding their unconditional surrender. Kom’s scientists though have come up with a final desperate plan which they believe can either help their people fight back against the overwhelming odds however at a great risk, a plan Kom is all too willing to go if it means saving her people from subjugation.

As such, she flies with all her great speed fully charged with her power right all the way to the Vega sun itself, the plan being to supercharge its solar output with her power inner reserves, allowing more energy to shine which should empower her people even those who didn’t tap into their starbolts like Kory and her can. While granting the entire race the ability to charge up Starbolts, the ability to legit breathe in space and other advanced powers and abilities, it all came at an extraordinary cost; the Star itself wounded up overloading and with barely time for their enemies to acknowledge it on time, it explodes into a massive supernova, taking not just them and not even just the planet itself but the whole of the Vega system.

The Tamaraneans themselves, all their civilians and even their then freed relatives managed to evacuate right on time so not one was lost in the supernova but now they have no home to come back to, leaving them a diaspora.

Meanwhile, as the Titans (nominally split into the premier Justice Titans and their B team allies though in the whole composed of Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Terra, Troia and Red Arrow) have numerous adventures and meet new allies across not just the universe and other planes of existence which can include the Phantom Zone, the realm of the Lord of Chaos etc, but throughout the Multiverse itself, even coming into contact and allying with the titular Titans of the Multiverse in their own quests to fix worlds with their timelines screwed over; all of it has them gaining new never wig their team and other allies but more importantly a massive influx of entire peoples as refugees and immigrants settling in the Titans’ universe for a new home. Unluckily for the Titans by the point this influx of people’s in need of new home becomes of a priority, The Legion of Doom, Lex Luthor’s team of supervillains, have launched an all out assault on their T shaped bases in both in Earth’s exosphere and in Bludhaven bay. While the attack was ultimately repelled, both T Towers were destroyed, now requiring the Titans themselves in need of a base themselves

Eventually the Titans decide on a Take out Multiple Birds with One Stone approach: with some Kryptonian tech borrowed from the City of Kandor and a location on the opposite side of Mars’ orbit (due to Earth’s orbit being occupied by Earth itself and New Krypton but I Digress lol), a massive new planet is created to be a sort of new home for all those refugees across existence and of course the Tamaraneans, Empress Blackfire acting as their representative in a high governing council which her sister and the other Titans are the ultimate authority on

While the Titans themselves are mainly tendering to Earth’s matters and small scale operations and crime fighting, this Planet shall serve as their new base of operations and the mainly settlers on it being their allies for Cosmic scale threats and crises.

Thus we present to you,

Titans Planet

For this new status quo, before the destruction of the Towers, the Titans Book (the one featuring the aforementioned B team of Troia, Red Arrow, The Flash (Wally West), Omen, Bumblebee, Herald and Jericho) would have a definitive conclusion after around hopefully 100-120 issues (bi weekly schedule applying), the team within it being consolidated into Justice Titans

Therefore in Issue #125, that’ll be a triple sized jumping on issue in which has not just that grand attack by the Legion of Doom but also the Titans consulting with the Kryrptonians of Kandor for borrowing their tech to create Titans Planet. Midway through the issue, Dick would have a bite among their members on whether to proceed with this plan or not, bringing up some differing options and raised concerns among them. Eventually the votes lean in favor of a Yes, leading to creation of the new planet in the opposite side of Mars’ orbit.

Here, Dick, Kom, Donna and Kory lay down simple ground rules for their new found headquarters/planet:

1) The core team should be addressed of tensions between peoples over land rights and other disputes.

2) No citizen of this planet should harm not especially kill another. Should they travel to Earth, they must also not kill any humans or any earthlings

3) The earthlings in turn must respect and treat these citizens of this planet as much any other earthling

4) Titans Planet Must Be Respected. Any attacks on its citizens, not the Titans themselves, but its citizens by hostile powers across both the stars and across dimensions will be a declaration of war.

As for the books that would be affected or launched by this new status quo;

- Titans (formerly Justice Titans, starting in maybe Issue #126, this book will be renamed)

- Nightwing and Starfire: The Flying Graysons (Despite the both of them still officially living in Bludhaven, the Planet especially due to the presence of Kom would serve being a platform for stories for Kory in order to diversify it from the standard Bludhaven based ones)

- Titans Planet (launching after Justice Titans #125, The Main ‘Hub World’ series which explores the day to day operations of the planet’s many people groups and factions; the only title that operates in a one issue per month schedule, Though each single issue are double sized)

- Blackfire: Empress of Tamaran (Launches after Justice Titans #125, serving as the solo adventures of Empress Komand’r as she contends with not just remnants of that alliance that ultimate destroyed her home planet but also other cosmic foes and enemies including probably up to Darkseid himself)

- Mon El: Man of Valor (Similarly launches after Justice Titans #126; Among the people groups that have settled on Titans Planet was the Daxamites who due to events in Action Comics, their own planet too has been destroyed thus they are in the need of a new home. Mon himself being a top representative on their behalf on the planet while he deals with not just a rise of potential supervillains on this planet but also his own place in this world, on Earth and in the universe as a whole in light of these events. Mon himself at this point is something of an Honorary Titan due to his stronger connections with the Superman family)

- Cyborg

- Raven

- Beast Boy

Future event comics and crossovers that involve these books can still occur though the status quo remains for a lengthy amount of time in real life. At the bare minimum, it should last between 2-5 years before another massive shake up can occur.

This is the 5th day in a row of kidney colic on my left side with some gigantic fuck-all kidney stone and

I AM IN SO MUCH PAIN.

At work.

[waugh-bao]

I was rewatching the "My Life as a Stone" show and I'd forgotten about the part where they discuss his OCD and Charlie and Mick are walking to the stage and Mick says something like "why is he doing that?" Keith is immediately there. "He's timing the walk. That's a normal strolling pace." Its so cute how Keith immediately jumps in to explain.

I imagine that there will be a later talking to for Mick where Keith reminds him not to make fun of their husband's unusual ways and that it is part of why they both love him so much. Mick feels bad and messes up his own sock drawer just so Charlie can have the pleasure and satisfaction of putting it back in order.

I love that moment so much:

And, not that we ever doubted it, but it really does prove that Keith was always totally fascinated by and besotted with every single one of Charlie’s quirks:

“They say he's a dying breed, but with people like Charlie, they must always have been rare. Genuinely eccentric in the sense of having his own way of doing things. Just to put it on a very physical plane: At the end of the show, he'll leave the stage, and the sirens will be going, limousines waiting, and Charlie will walk back to his drumkit and change the position of his drumsticks by 2 millimeters. Then he'll look at it. Then if it looks good, he'll leave. He has this preoccupation with aesthetics, this vision of how things should be that nobody will ever know about except Charlie. The drums are about to be stripped down and put in the back of a truck, and he CANNOT leave if he's got it in his mind that he's left his sticks in a displeasing way. It's so Zen. So you see what I mean about who the hell can I possibly play with after this guy with such a sense of space and touch. The only word I can use for Charlie is deep.”

But yes, I’m sure Mr. ‘Talking to my drummer is like being visited by Jesus Christ himself’ made certain Mick made amends for not falling all over himself to praise this behavior like Keith.

"In west England, a series of hills cloaked in heather and wildflowers are the target of a national restoration project that is already seeing success.

Similar to the story GNN reported on last week about the rewilding along the south coast and South Downs National Park, Sussex, volunteers are seeding old hay fields with native wildflowers and replanting traditional hedgerows to ensure wildlife can move freely through the region.

The region is called the Shropshire Hills, which by British law is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and is managed and controlled so this beauty can endure. But while the area is indeed beautiful, the valley between the sections of hills known as Long Mynd and Stiperstones has for decades been under heavy hay cultivation, with farmers plowing up meadows and planting fast-growing commodity grasses.

As part of a project by the UK’s National Trust called Stepping Stones, volunteers have been working with landowners and local councils to turn some of these meadows back over to the wildlife, creating corridors of habitat to allow species like the bilberry bumblebee, pine marten, and curlews to move freely from hilltop to valley floor and back to hilltop.

Charlie Bell, project manager for Stepping Stones, told the BBC that the project is one part of an overall mission that aims to restore 97% of meadows that have been lost in the UK over the last 100 years.

“Many old meadows have been plowed up and re-seeded with more productive mixes of grasses,” she told the national broadcaster. “Fertilizers are often added to increase the growth of these dominant productive grasses, at the expense of finer grass species and wildflowers.”

Jinlye Meadows, on the Long Mynd side of the valley, is now thriving with native wildflower species like mountain pansy, and volunteers have recorded the area is thriving with bilberry bumblebees which are rare and in decline.

In particular, the meadows were covered last year in yellow rattle, also known as the “meadowmaker,” a key part of Ms. Bell’s strategy for restoring meadows. This native species attaches itself to the roots of grasses, slowing, but not sabotaging, their growth. This allows not only the flower to grow, but space for all manner of other flowers to grow as the grasses’ growth is [slowed down]."

man episode 97 is iconic for so many reasons but one of my favourites has to be when jester comes up to essek at the party and essek, traitor to the kryn dynasty and general stone-cold bitch, job title literally shadowhand, the guy who stole a beacon from his own country for knowledge and profit, just told a man who wants to kill all the gods to find some friends YESTERDAY,

cannot lie to jester to save his fucking life.

his answer to "where do you live" is "...around??"

he's visibly panicking through the entire conversation

his excuse for not seeing jester's mom perform is "i am what you would refer to as an introvert"

his answer to "do you like to stay at home" is "uh. yeeeees" followed by heavy drinking.

he gets drugged into paralysis 5 minutes later but he's floating so jester and veth can just fucking tug him around like a helium balloon

this guy is such a loser and i love him so much
