#tbh maybe not SUPERSONIC

[blue-sleeps-in]

if i was a superhero with super strength and stuff I'd be learning how to throw things immideately. why would i punch that villain guy when i can throw a rock supersonic

[spider-jaysart]

I feel like a Dceased video game would honestly be terrifyingly awesome to play and if done well, can also deliver very good emotional angst at certain moments, ESPECIALLY the ending, because Damian sacrificing himself and then also having his last moments with Jon to say bye literally made me cry frrrr😭😭 and that's the first time a comic book has ever made me do that (I imagine it would probably be turned into a little series though maybe just to get to that point, like...possibly three games?? Because that apocalypse lasted a long time in the books and everyone who survived grew and got older with all of the time passing by, but idrk though, unless there's a clever way that's figured out on how to fit the whole story into one game without any of it feeling weirdly rushed)

And I can imagine it having gameplay style like The last of us (except some of the main characters have abilities and others have very useful hero gadgets now) and also so many great jumpscare moments too, and like literally because it's mostly superpowered zombies now everywhere besides the regular ones, which is even more terrifying

It'd just be a pretty fun experience all of it, along with a lot of good main characters (idrk all of them though loll) to switch to during different parts of the story (but whenever it's their turn, I would really LOVE playing the Supersons the most though during it hehehe, especially in this kind of setting)

The only thing I would hate though is if the Damian x Cassie romance gets kept, because it just feels weird tbh due to her always being an originally older character that's also always actually been apart of Young Justice (she should be with Tim, Kon and Bart instead who are her main group, not the Supersons!!). And besides the romance, she was only put with the boys just to be the girl in it and also recreate a trinity thing, like Bruce, Clark, Diana, but I don't feel like that fits Damian and Jon's type of thing at all imo

I would honestly just replace her with Maya and Kathy, because they're so much more fitting for a team up with Damian and Jon, especially because of the fact that they're the perfect girls right there too who already have such close relationships with the boys that isn't forced like hers is!! Maya is Damian's sister and Kathy is Jon's first close friend, which is good enough, and I would make sure the romance is still erased, cause they shouldn't have to date just because they're boys and girls hanging out (and obviously mostly because Maya is Damian's sister too, so that would be gross)

But okay, that is just getting a little too off topic from what I'm really trying to talk about I think😳, but my whole point is that it would be really great to have an actual game like this based on the series and I would totally buy it and play it if it was real!!!

SORRY IM VERY QUICKLY ADDING THIS TO DA CLEANING POST WHILST ITS RELAVANT please consider a cybertronian bath being a mega sized version of those like supersonic vibrating waterbaths they use for glasses/jewellery/watches cos i think that would be so funny you dunk a mech in there and just see the dirt start Floating Off

also i think the cloth idea works!! like the idea of scratching has to do with the material being 'harder' than the other. so as long as they are using metals that are 'softer' than their plating it wont scratch ^^ and seeing as how hardy they all are i think there are plenty of metals that are softer. It doesnt even have to be as difficult as weaving it into cloth tbh, could even be like how they make steel wool for cleaning. Maybe wealthier mechs use really soft metals like gold cos it feels nice and soft and yet it really doesnt last long cos its so soft (LIKE MINECRAFT LMAO)

CLOTHS MADE OUT OF CLOTH... I love it.

[zeroducks-2]

Could you tell me why was Jon Kent aged-up? How did that happen? Just... what is that bull????

Tbh I'm not the best person to ask this question to. I've never read Supersons except for maybe a couple of issues, but if I understood correctly, Ultraman kidnapped him (Ultraman being the Earth-3 evil counterpart of Superman, kind of like Owlman and Batman) and time was different where they were, so when Jon came back he was 17 or something.

It's bull, I agree. I think we can blame Tom Taylor for this lol

[bredforloyalty]

Do you have any thoughts on why Rick and Morty used a Ryan Elder cover of Live Forever over the montage of Fred's life in That's Amorte? Feel like you're probably one of the best people in the world to ask atm given the overlapping interests :)

Also I always felt like Time and Tide in the finale is kind of a Morty flavoured version of that montage too, and meant to be understood in that context, because it's so similar and what we're shown is basically the same thing (only with Mortys fear hole life instead of Fred's real one) what do you reckon?

FUCK I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS so sorry...... ❤️‍🩹

i may not be the best person to ask because when i watched that's amorte and heard that song in it what i thought was. "oh that chorus is familiar i must have heard this before it must be a famous song" and i listened to the original and went "well i don't enjoy that much" and that was that for me 💀

anyway now that i have a relationship with live forever and with the band i think it's because it's universal, isn't it? simple lyrics about wanting to live. as they show you the infinite value of a single human life (and it got me tbh when i watched that, i think it worked)!

i'm not really good at like, deep analysis and i don't have an opinion on each line and my opinion is that the beauty of songs like live forever lies in not having an exact meaning. each line doesn't have to be crystal clear or involve poetic devices, it resonates with so many people because it's simple.. i just wanna fly. you and i are gonna live forever. what does maybe i don't really wanna know how your garden grows mean? who cares ! maybe it means i don't want to live carefully or wait for things to get better or maybe it has something to do with their mother's love of gardening or it's about wanting to break out of the banality of working class existence (etc everyone can figure and everyone does figure)

bc as i now know very well, the gallaghers, y'know, didn't exactly have it easy before starting out, council housing, no music education or anything, noel got battered by his father regularly as a teenager before they left with their mother and still he said he woke up every morning happy to live and he was always determined to make something of himself. and he wrote these songs about living forever and being a rock and roll star and feeling supersonic... i think there's a real power in that i think this makes it a fitting song for the scene. if anything, it's life-affirming!

annnd about time and tide, yeah i think they're similar in function and as i watched the season i umm noted that it had two montages with ballads (of sorts) over them and that's interesting, but to be honest i don't know what that context would be? what do you think, how do you think of/interpret that scene? what does this similarity add to the fear hole montage? i think maybe it's different in the sense that live forever is meant to evoke, this is not the best adjective to use but positive feelings, you know, gratitude and connection, while time and tide is more bittersweet. i felt it was about morty eventually outgrowing rick but never really letting go. there's a lot of love there and even more fear

but really what do you think of that specific part of fear no mort? ^^ do share your thoughts if you'd like to<3

[fanghur]

If there's survivors during Perfect Chaos that were witnesses, there absolutely should be witnesses during the first time Sonic and Shadow encountered each other, so someone should have been able to point out 'hey maybe don't villainize the guy who literally saved the world without trial, there's proof that there's a second hedgehog who's even faster than Sonic'.

Regarding the news footage, the only footage the player sees is on top of a bridge, but there has to be something that was recorded prior, because literally why would they be chasing a supersonic hedgehog unless there was some evidence of a crime. I'm not even talking about news footage, but security footage that GUN would view to point at Shadow/Sonic and go 'that's our guy'.

Also, mechanical engineer genius that Eggman is, and other sciences, he tends to be an idiot in every other regard. Like, he heard the hedgehog he mistook for Sonic go 'here's a cannon that can destroy entire planets, and I will help you get it operational. I have no ulterior motives for this whatsoever' and had no red flags about it. Dude just went looking for something he heard regarding his grandfather being hidden, and had something to threaten the world with fall into his lap.

I will, however, absolutely accept the GUN framing Sonic explanation, though. That literally fits every nitpik I have for this plot, and individual people's mistake could be either buying GUN's propaganda or, in Amy and Eggman's cases especially, have a moment of 'oh Sonic's going through an emo phase, okay.'

Also the GUN propaganda angle does explain something that I didn't even think of until @skaruresonic mentioned it, that Sonic took the Emerald from the Casinopolis vault too, and unless I misremember SA1 (which is entirely possible, tbh I only played it, like, once), GUN might have had a response to it (I think there's little police hovercars that are enemies in 1 stage?) but it's not nearly even a quarter of in SA2. That giant truck from City Escape alone is more of a response than any fallout shown of Casinopolis.

Were the humans in Sonic Adventure 2 just really fuckin racist towards Mobians/whatever anthropomorphic animals like Sonic and the gang in that continuity? Like, how would they recognize a hedgehog but not tell that they have red streaks, have a yellow aura when going 'sonic speed' or whatever, and all the other details? Blue can look black in shit lighting and vice versa, but, what? Metal Sonic I could understand, but I have so many questions why Shadow was introduced with this plot. I know this is a really old and already questioned thing but wtf?

Damian Wayne for the character bingo

ok yeah that's fair I did just make three posts about him

[Image: a character bingo sheet with the following squares circled: "I'm the only one that knows anything about them, actually. everyone else is wrong sorry", "they could've been such a great character if they were handled differently", "*gently holds*", "they have done nothing wrong, ever, in their life," "Autism™", and "free space". Full description under the cut.]

Listen. I am SUCH a sucker for characters who get out of a situation where they have little to no agency and then having those characters reclaim it. The idea of a kind of 'reverse' Batman and Robin dynamic where Robin is the one whose darkness needs to be kept in check while Batman lights stuff up is really fun and Dick and Damian's dynamic is the only good thing about Morrison's Batman and Robin run. I love the repurposing of the Robin mantle as a symbol for redemption; I really adore superhero mantles taking on a symbolic heroic meaning, and this is a great way to play with the Robin mantle, just like Cass taking on Batgirl as a symbol for redemption was a great way to play with the Batgirl mantle.

Damian's character himself is a fascinating take on the child assassin archetype, in that, since he was raised to be a leader, he acts very different to most other characters in the archetype, and it's easy to read him as entitled and arrogant, and to an extent, he is, but it's got layers. He's always gotten every material thing he wanted. Everything he's ever had has been conditional on his performance. He is comfortable with violence and will resort to it as a first response to problems. He's a ten year old kid who does not quite grasp the consequences of his actions further than the immediate removal of danger or the reception/removal of approval from a parental figure. He's a little fucking shit with an attitude problem. He tries so so hard to be kind. He's arrogant and cocky and believes himself to be a fundamentally bad person, with sins he can never redeem himself from. He's a complex, layered character.

It's a goddamn shame that he's so intrinsically intertwined with Talia's character massacre, that no-one has written him well since Patrick Gleason's Robin: Son of Batman, that DC doesn't know what to fucking do with him, and that Morrison is a bad writer and that makes Damian's original Batman and Robin run a goddamn nightmare to suffer through.

Anyway I think he's got big autism, I wanna hold him like a spitting kitten, he's never done anything wrong in his entire life the murders are okay because I like him, and most of his fans are almost as insufferable as his haters. I trust like maybe ten Damian fans on this website and if you like Supersons you're not one of them.

Image description: a bingo titled 'character bingo' with the following squares: "my special little meow meow. my every waking thought. my dearest blorbo", "i don't have anything against them personally but they failed the vibe check", "I'm the only one that knows anything about them, actually. everyone else is wrong sorry", "if I met them irl i would beat them up (affectionate)", "I would unplug their life support to charge my phone", "I like the fanon better for this one", "a pathetic wet cat of a man", "my anti blorbo. I am constantly thinking of them and I hate it", "knowing of their existence fills me with incredible violent urges", "they could've been such a great character if they were handled differently", "*gently holds*", "I don't care about them tbh", "free space", "[long keysmash]", "i sincerely do not understand the hype", "they have done nothing wrong, ever, in their life", "I don't even go here but I'd die for them", "not to be a homosexual but Jesus fucking Christ. oh my god. holy shit ['god' and 'shit' are misspelled]", "Autism™", "genuinely. what the fuck", "will someone give them a fucking hug jesus christ", "they could pour soup in my lap and I'd apologize to them", "they are literally so based", "there's nothing going on behind those eyes <3", "i want to kiss their poor little head". End description.

[batarangsoundsdumb]

yet another ask dump yeehaw!

do you ever think that jay's mother was one of those bitch who believes in horoscope and tarots and things like that and so he believes in these things too, or it is just me projecting?

sheila haywood took one look at jason's birthchart said 'nah this won't do' and left.

Wait, but what happens when the justice league does find out that Bruce and John fucked? Lmao it sounds like it would be hilarious, really, I don’t want a justice league that doesn’t make fun of Bruce for like his entire life.

barry runs out of the meeting immediately and comes back with an entire sti testing kit. diana fully seriously wants bruce to get tested while bruce is sitting there like 'come on guys, you're being ridiculous, i already checked twice'

john is standing in the corner clearly offended while bruce is just like 'don't even say anything, constantine, you fucked a shark'

tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.

on the one hand, good for him, on the other hand, bro, how do you still have a secret identity when your superhero name is just your last name,,,,

Your fic on ao3 was GOLD PLEASE CONTINUE I loved Dinah's cameo btw ( @purple-vixen

thanks so much! i already continued but this ask is like 10 years old because i'm a notorious procrastinator (also yes! i love dinah so much aahhhhhhhhhhhh)

I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.

bruce internally: holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit holy fuck holy shit bruce externally: get out of my city, alien

AHHH ur multimedia fic is the only thing that brings me happiness anymore continue it forever pls

uhh thanks, but can't continue it forever because my attention span is that of a toddler on crack on a good day and i can't function without at least 10 things going on at the same time and music in the background

Oi, so I'm getting into dc and watching batman the animated series, and they use fruitcake a lot. Which I thought was very funny and wanted to share w you - Denilla

wait like fruitcake (food) or fruitcake (derogatory) ?

young justice 🤝 teen titans slut shaming batman

tim drake and dick grayson to their respective teams 'you guys stop it, that's my dad'

Happyhoganon: If an eighty year old Batman had fought crime in Gotham City for decades and the only threats to him and the city lately are a wheel chair bounded Penguin, your usual purse snatchers and a few con artists popping up every now and then, how well could the Dark Knight do in maintaining the peace in Gotham despite him being just somewhat fit to do that as an elderly man (which says A LOT given how old he is)

uhh he'll probably do what my grandpa does and that is ruthlessly prank them until they die of shame.

in the death in the family interactive movie there's an ending where Jason is tasked with raising Damian and he decides he's gonna raise Damian to take down the waynes and al ghuls which uh maybe isn't great BUT the idea of Jason raising Damian... PRICELESS. CHAOTIC. I just need more people to know about this :)

yes i saw that wow holy shit but jason would accidentally drop damian on his head one (1) hour in and jason just yeets him into the lazarus pit.

Headcanon: The Penguin has a really hard time fighting any of the Robins because of his avian obsession means there's always a small part of his mind that's like "Birb. Child. Protect" ( @subspacecadet )

as soon as dick becomes nightwing the penguin is like 'you know what, fuck this dude' and shoots at him.

Y'all talking about King Shark dating Constantine, let's not forget about John literally hooking up with Satan

listen there's a clear difference between monsterfucker and satanfucker in that king shark is literally a shark and satan still looks like a normal dude

Does everyone in Gotham think Batman is a teen dad?

everyone in gotham thinks batman has been around since gotham was founded, but they do think that bruce wayne is actually a teen father and dick grayson's biological dad.

why. why would you do that fancast when you know it will only hurt people

what? i loved my fancast it was really well done. i did it with good representation in mind and i really managed that with alfred pennyworth being ✨italian✨

Seeing james charles a jason gave me psychic damage how dare you i need to wash my eyes

well that's a you problem isn't it?

do you think dick grayson thirst tweets about nightwing just to annoy his family/cause problems on purpose in general?

he thinks nightwing is hot, next question.

holy jiminy cricket batman, its as cold as the good lords ass crack in here!!

i- what? this is why i don't fuck with english expressions it's way too goddamn weird

Brooooooo, your teen dad!Bruce au is soooo good. I've got brainrot.

Honestly if you ever write anymore, I'd read that shit twice. Sign me the fuck up. Good stuff, Good Stuff.

uh yeah i'm thinking about writing a fic, but i have exams coming up and i don't wanna fail because that would suck. but after i'll certainly be writing more tho

your teen dad AU is so great! bruce acting like a big brother for all of like a week before he's telling everyone about his son. what if in the AU dick meets the JL because they need to rescue him? maybe he's in trouble/kidnapped at a gala and bruce starts calling for JL. clark finds him and has to fly with dick to bring him home - that's how dick and clark meet and superman becomes dick's fave hero. he goes around the manor thinking he can fly with a red blanket draped around him like a cape.

actually- if you want a young dad! bruce fic with like that kinda stuff(just with damian) go check uhh- in for a penny by cdelphiki. it's really good and bruce is like 24/25-ish. (and dick's there!!!)

This account has solely convinced me that Tim is a trash goblin ( @hamilcat-and-magic-turtle )

because he is. that boy has slept in dumpsters on multiple occasions even if he is the son of a billionaire.

Okay but when you said victory dance I did think of the whole justice league defeating the big bad and then they all start flossing

well that's exactly what hal jordan does and that's why batman uses a gun now. no but the victory dance in my opinion is like the 'we're all in this together' dance from high school musical.

The horrors in Invincible s1 was nothing compared to the comics, I cant wait for s2

oh well okay, i mean i personally react to horror and violence by laughing awkwardly so i can't wait to be called a monster for accidentally laughing at a mass murder.

I'm currently watching Batman: The Brave and The Bold and- Bruce is just talking about Oliver like he's an old love (@nightwings-kid)

okay im going to watch that lmao that's totally and completely in character for him tho.

The invincible comic is like super gratuitous with its violence so much so I'm shocked the show was able to adapt it in a faithful way! Anyway had the show been live action it absolutely wouldn't have the same impact as it does as an animated show and I'm so glad so many people agree with me on that

also because a live action casting would've been like uhh amanda stenberg for amber, the dude- the guy from the supernatural but with a mustache for omni-man, and scarlet johanssen for debbie grayson

Debbie grayson is a milf, yes. You're welcome for the invincible propoganda, now you can questions your life. Bruce def seems like the perfect father next to Omni-man. Like they really took a rip off justice league and I was like well, now I'm attached even tho I was like hah I know who they're supposed to be. And then bam- death gore death gore gore gore sad Mark grayson just had to have daddy issues. Why does every character have daddy issues. I'm sick of the attacks

because daddy issues make a person arguably funnier, that's why i'm not even remotely funny (haha good dad flex). i liked that it was dark contextually, but not in the colouring, bc i hate when it's like 'uh yeah graphic murder and now a shot so dark you have to sit in a dark room and squint at the screen to faintly see the characters. (like dcau ugh)

About the Wayne insurance, for a moment I thought you would put the video with moans over the waves.

i mean- i could've done that, but rick rolling seemed more family friendly.

Its the first time in forever that im surpise rickrolled, i usually expect it. Congratulations (i really should know better this is tumblr)

i get rickrolled so often but i actually like the song so i dont really give a fuck

Actually, my information about Damian and John's kids is outdated because it was revealed that the old men telling the kids stories about the Supersons were actually Jon and Damian the whole time. I was blinded by my thirst for Grandpa!Bruce Wayne but I was wrong... I liked my version better, tbh (@artemisa97)

fair enough. but i'd honestly like to see damian and jon getting together, just because it's a really fun dynamic and their friendship was really cute when they were kids. (also idk maybe it would be nice to have one (1) main batfam/superfam character that's not cishet)

How am i JUST finding your blog skdskfkd you're so fucking funny and ur takes are hot

i thought u were calling me hot :( but youre not :( crime detected (but lmao thanks)

So I have depression and I swear that your memes are one of the few things that have made me laugh so thank you 💛🥺 (@katekanebadass)

aw you're welcome, and i hope you're doing okay!

The metropolis memes are so funny, I love them 💀😌

i think metropolis is also so fucking funny it deserves more attention imagine having your entire police force being upstaged by an alien from kansas and his kids

as an american i feel your complete lack of knowledge of us geography is just so sexy (platonic) ❤️

thanks so much (i also don't know any other geography, i'm not kidding, like you can tell me you're from hungary and it will just blank, there will be nothing that comes to mind)

In the DC universe they don't say "Can't have shit in Detroit" they say "Can't have shit in Gotham"

this just reminds me of that guy whose porch got stolen like the steps to his door, and i'm thinking of people living in gotham and waking up without a front door and going "can't have shit in gotham"

honestly all i know about chicago is the bean, so. what would gotham's famous sculpture be?

gigantic gargoyle statue in front of one of the police precincts because a villain thought it was a smart way to keep the police inside, but it's too heavy to move.

why tf do people go on about how batman "works alone" or how he's the "lone wolf" when he like 38290202 members in his family

bc people think it's cool that a grown man in his 30s has no friends or family instead of calling it what it is (sad)

Bruce is gotham's sugar daddy

why would say something so controversial yet so brave.

my favorite batfamily fanfictions are the ones where they use their shitty codenames, unironically, in any context

dick: gerard way are you in position, gerard way are you in position

tim: for the last fucking time, my codename is 'totally not count olaf' this week, abbafan 3000

dick: shut up my codename isn't 'abbafan 3000'

dick: it's 'abbafan number 1' and you know it

I have a feeling Tim drake is ur favourite batfamily member but okay u don't have favs if u say so ok

i mean he is, i won't deny it. but i love each and every one of the batfam just the same, i just have a weak spot for short dumbass nerds, because i'm a short dumbass nerd.

Omg i fuckin love boy meets world too fam shsjkfk

bro boy meets world was the shit!!! it was just fire and awesome and so fucking great like bro. it was so good im not even going to be accepting criticism

you know I find the whole "joker completes batman" thing a bit disgusting considering the horrendous stuff the batfamily went through because of the joker and let's not get started on the "joker has a point" thing like yeah he's this cool complex villain but he's absolutely batshit crazy

like yes! i get what you mean the joker just fucking sucks man he doesn't do shit for batman's character or the batfam he's literally just annoying as fuck. like the joker has a point' shit is so stupid. i will accept 'magneto was right' because he fucking was and i think he didn't do anything wrong, but joker? he's just like that. he's not even cool and complex he's just a weirdo with a bleach kink at this point.

ALSO YOUR RACISM POST- SO TRUE BESTIE

thanks bestie, i'm glad you agree.

in today's essay of why I think cass should become batman- I was thinking Tim would probably be the most efficient batman in many ways but I also think he wouldn't want to be batman tbh none of the batfamily members would want to be batman because they're trying to outgrow him but cass is the one who wants to represent the symbol that is batman

absofuckinglutely i will say it again and again that cass represents the batsymbol more than anyone in the batfam, in batgirl (2000) she literally didn't care about anything else than bruce's oath to not kill, she thought the batsymbol was more important than anything in gotham. she's just an excellent character because her motivation to not kill is not 'i'm scared i can't come back from it' or 'well my dad says no murder so i'll go along with it' but that she's killed somebody as a young child and she never wants to kill a human ever again and that's so fucking beautiful for a new batman like yes.

need more cass, duke and tim inclusion in gothamite memes

yes yes, a tall order of cass, duke and tim coming up in 1-14 business days

oldest to youngest batfam members cus I'm confused as shit

okay order of being taken in: dick, jason, tim, cass, damian, duke order of age: alfred, bruce, dick, cass, jason, tim, duke, damian (though cass and jason are around the same age general consensus is that cass is a little older)

I'm so confused Steph is a redhead?? like how was it that hard to get this right? the source material is literally right there and free

cw is jared, 19

do you receive anon hate? if so, how do you deal with it

uh no, i'm not remotely popular enough to get anon hate and i also don't say a lot of things that would attract anon hate, but i do send anon hate to @the-real-peter-parker because he forgot about the specialists from winx club

Wait how many languages do you speak??

uhh- 5 if you include latin, but that's a dead language and i'm really bad at it. but english, my native language, german, and french also, tho german and french not fluently.

You can mix aguaepanela with aguardiente 😈 and is tasty

okay but now i'm curious if the liquor deserves the 😈 emoji or if that's a you problem. but i googled it and it looks like something you'd take one sip of and then not remember the rest of your evening.

Oasis for the band thingy :)

HI MILO THANKS 4 THE ASK

am i a fan: hmmmmm not really but also yeah but also no but also yeas. kinda :)

first song i heard: dont look back in anger

favourite song: .... probably don't look back in anger. also champagne supernova, supersonic and cigarettes & alcohol :^)

favourite album: definitely maybe!

favourite music video: morning glory tbh

have any merch: no but my dad has a tshirt and i have 2 of their albums on CD!

seen them live: no lmao

favourite member: liam 💘 he's so slay

[jawz]

not to be a pain in the arse, but... do you have any recommendations of oasis' books i could read, please? i want to read some biographies of oasis and stuff but i don't know where to start, and i think you know a whole lot abt them so i figured i might ask you,,, and thank you in advance! i love your blog sm and you seem like a very nice person 😌❤️

omg thank you so much!! well first of all its no pain at all, ive spent enough time and money on this dumbass band that it needs things like this to make it all worth it lol

so i have a lot of books on them but i’ll stick to recommending these first four as essentials; & then the next four are photo books so not biography but they do have text within, some more than others, & overall are beautifully done. (and all of the bio’s have picture sections as well!)

getting high (paolo hewitt) - indisputable #1 oasis bio. covers the definitely maybe & wtsmg tours. paolo was a friend of theirs so it is written from more of an insider’s view (he’s a music journalist) and yeah it just is so fucking good. reading this book gives a huge insight into liam & noels relationship especially and just how intertwined they were back then, as well as liam’s vulnerability despite his Tough Guy image. also it starts with their mother’s childhood in ireland and just UGH its so good You must read this book

forever the people (paolo hewitt) - shorter and less in depth than the first but this one covers the be here now tour. again more of the same “insider” look. it was like 4 years ago i bought it but i do think it was like $70 or some crazy amount... much rarer than other books it seems.. but yea

what’s the story (iain robertson) - ok so above all else this one wins worst book cover award but also the funniest thing ever. i actually used to have a different edition with a chill blue cover but lost it and maybe it was worth it just to have this one.. F**k me, what a gig... anyway, this is an odd book. it’s absolutely worth a read, has a shit ton of great stories... but it is also really up its own ass and robertson clearly thinks he is some sort of literary magician or something so it can be really insufferable and dramatic at times. but still worth it for sure.

brothers: from childhood to oasis (terry christian & paul gallagher) - of course! if you needed young gallagher anecdotes look no further. pretty straightforward. Liam used to breakdance and graffiti and his tag was “Galli”

oasis. definitely (tim abbot) - short and sweet

oasis: a year on the road (p.slatz) - i hate to promo this bc he is the reason my old blog was deleted but it is really nice sooo

supersonic: the oasis photographs (michael spencer jones) - BEST oasis photo book, its enormous and super high quality

was there then (jill furmanovsky) - my other fav oasis photographer, highly recommend

...and ok so tbh i dont own a copy of it buuuut oasis: the truth by tony mccaroll is also alright (i found it on pdf). but it is, in my opinion, at times even harder to read than the iain robertson book, just because tony’s grudge against noel is SO huge and he’s not a particularily good writer so it just is.. annoying.. it’s like whiny almost and just. I’m no Tony fan lol. but apart from all the Waahhh-Poor-Me it’s worth a read for all the old oasis memories. (just as an example of his whining, the original title of this book was, no joke: “The Noel Truth Is Nothing Like The Whole Truth”. like ok dude go sit down)

thanks so much for ur question ��🏼😁

Rosie is rlly weird

Shi talks to hirself constantly if shi's not doing anything because if shi doesn't shi'll get bored and resort to self harm or violence. and not in a suicidal way either it's literally just hir being underwhelmed and needing stimulation so to get stimulation shi scratches and bites hirself if shi doesn't have anything to pacify hir.

This goes for both oc Rosie and system Rosie. mainly system Rosie though.

When we take baths for example shi talks non fucking stop. and it's slightly aggravating bc shi repeats phrases at supersonic speed but I mean it's better than hir grabbing a razor and going to town on our hips while locking everyone out of front cndmdmfmf.

Shi also acts very child-like. In canon this is because shi was never "properly raised" and shi p much raised hirself in a way but in-sys it's due to trauma and generally just bc shi currently can't seem to mentally/emotionally "grow up" which ig is an ADHD trait, being a bit emotionally "younger" than your peers. idk. that's what Google tells me anyway. But it's not annoying really shi's been this way as long as we can remember, maybe even ever since shi first formed. It makes it easier to take care of hir tbh.

Rosie also has a tendency to never leave front. Shi's probably as frontstuck as Allan and I are. But the weird thing is even if shi's a pain in the ass we still need hir to function for whatever reason. When shi went dormant for the first time ever Allan and I were miserable. It's like we need a baseline of constant violent thoughts and magnified overreacting emotions 24/7 or else we're just. Empty. And honestly I'd prefer babysitting a murderous demon indefinitely over feeling nothing indefinitely JFKDKSKDMF

[fancyfade]

ok i can explain that supersons thing more

so my LEAST favorite non-ismy trope is when it seems like characters who should be in conflict with each other are forced to be cool with each other by the writers to re-establish status quo

this is part of why i have a hard time getting into red hood comics. when i tried to read red hood new 52 they just completely amnesia-i-fied starfire to erase any potential conflict she might have with jason due to his previous actions (and also roy didn’t care at all even though he didn’t have amnesia. for some reason. I only read half an issue TBH I didn’t really care for it because of those previously mentioned issues). a less extreme version happened in red hood rebirth (of which i actually enjoyed the first 6 issues) where i think bruce was talking to jason about what happened with black mask (jason didn’t kill black mask but did leave him for a fate worse than death, so i have no clue what he would have done if that fate wasn’t in the air). anyway jason reacts to bruce with “i tried your law an order thing and it sucked” and instead of bruce being like “wait with your history it’s very unclear: are you going to kill people? because this is very important to me” he just laughs it off and is like “Lol you think i’m law and order-y? I’m a vigilante”

anyway so i feel like realistic conflict between those characters would have been a lot more interesting than “Oh well it’s all cool we’re friends, we can’t remember or are saying ‘law and order is for losers’.”

so a similar thing happened in the supersons issue where i feel like jon should reasonably have more conflict with damian. you might say “you can’t write realistic conflict about a 13 year old who assassinated a bunch of people in a series targeted at kids” so maybe just... don’t bring it up? if you can’t handle it in a character-satisfactory way?

Alien force balancing part the third

Alien force aliens too strong, me don’t like, gonna change to make more interesting fights and higher stakes. Let’s end this exercise in proposing changes to a kids show that’s been off the air for like 7 years.

1. Chromastone

Current power set:

1. Energy absorption

2. Laser and shield generation from absorbed energy out of pink crystals

3. High durability

4. Flight (????)

Revised power set:

1. Energy absorption

2. Laser production from absorbed energy out of pink crystals

3. High durability provided he’s not full of energy

Chromastone’s species is related to Diamondhead’s and serves as a back up to all the minds of Tetrax’s species so I’d say he’s a sort of messiah for the Diamondhead species and I think that should be reflected in how Ben uses Chromastone. What if, instead of pure “absorb energy show out rainbows through hands” Ben had to concentrate to ensure the energy is coming out of his hands as opposed to any other of his pink crystals? I think possibly a “calm demeanour” restriction to actually use his powers foreshadows Chromastone's actual role and purpose and forces Ben to develop maturity and could maybe provide a cool scene where someone is kidnapped that Ben super cares about (probably Julie but I’d also love this with Kevin) and he uses Chromastone with deadly precision because he’s at this weird state of hyper rage calm and ultimate concentration and is DECIMATING whoever is keeping the kidnapped person hostage. For everyday use this would just mean Chromastone does more absorbing and can act as an energy sponge more, he could still shoot the lasers back he would just do less and they would have to be more accurate, putting more stress and importance on each shot. Second big change is Chromastone’s durability, I want him to be more susceptible to physical attacks when he’s more charged up with energy. I get that he’s made of probably a diamond like substance but having him invulnerable to energy and physical attacks is like that annoying twat in your class who had an everything proof shield during pretend games at recess NO TRISTAN WE CAN’T TELL ON YOU FOR THIS BUT STILL FUCK YOU WE DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO PLAY WITH YOU AND NOW LUCAS IS CRYING BECAUSE YOU’RE SUCH AN INSUFFERABLE FUCK HEAD. So the more energy Chromastone has got the more brittle he becomes meaning he can be durable or offensive but not both. This can be how Vilgax kills Chromastone also by charging him up WAY too much and Ben is freaking out so can’t expel the lasers out and then Vilgax just flicks him because the original battle was so lifeless and anticlimactic.  Also can we please have Gwen shoot a load of mana into Chromastone when they’re surrounded and then destroy everything around them, that’d be sick. 

2. Jetray

Current power set:

1.  Supersonic -> light speed flight

2. Laser vision and tail

3. Durability to survive gunfire

4. No need for oxygen

Revised power set:

1. Supersonic flight and swimming

2. Ability to generate electricity around body like an electric eel

Jetray is one of the main reasons I started making these posts, in the OG series XLR8 was fast, Stinkfly could fly and heatblast had projectiles, in UAF Jetray does all of these and does them better meaning Jetray is rarely going to be in a situation where he’s out of his element. Jetray also has some of the highest bullshit levels I’ve ever seen, no need for oxygen??? Super speed in space??? GUNFIRE DURABILITY??? FUCKING LASERS???? Thats too much man. I’m taking away the Superman factor and just making him a fast flyer while also giving him the Superman blue factor and giving him a little bit of electricity. Jetray won’t be able to shoot the electricity or anything but he can zap people if he’s in direct contact with them, and of course he can do some problem solving with it like maybe holding a metal stick and using it as an cattle prod or Kevin absorbs some metal and Jetray supercharges him making him basically Mjonir. There should also be a cool down on the electricity so not everything Jetray does is going to be zapping fools, there’ll also be just good old Jetray aerial combat. Just as a final little change I want to change the actually design to the one in the bottom right of this concept picture.

Tbh Jetray is super ugly and I’d rather him have this buggy face instead of the thumb with eyes and a mouth he currently has.

3. Humungousaur 

Current power set:

1. Big strong dinosaur 

2. Thick and durable hide

3. Ability to increase size and mass

Revised power set: 

1. Big strong dinosaur

2. Thick and durable hide

3. Black spikes that Ben is able to shape into different dinosaur parts and maybe weapons

I am admittedly harsh with Alien force for it’s heinous crime of not being the show I watched when I was a child and thus less smart and full of criticism and anxiety and because of this I really try and give credit where credit is due with alien force but humungousaur is something I can’t give credit for. I know that the show is unrealistic and doesn’t have to adhere to normal physics but even in a world with a magic alien watch that has a person change mass and size, having humungousaur gain mass doesn’t make sense because humungousaur’s species don’t all wear those magic alien watches so I think they should take the omniverse route and quietly sweep his size changing under the rug. In addition I think they should take notes from the... 🤢 take notes in design from the r-🤢... TAKE NOTES FROM THE REBOOTED DESIGN 🤮🤮🤮. 

Writing that makes the old man in me scream because the reboot Ben has FUCKED so many aliens (rip XLR8 & Wildvine) but they really did good with humungousaur. Really the design isn’t that different but I LOVE the black scales and I think it’d accent my proposed power change really which is to have those black spike form claws or triceratops horns or the normal mace on humungousaur’s tail essentially giving him the necrosword from marvel but with more dinosaur themes. (Real quick I only watch clips of the rebooted Ben 10 and I did see some pictures while writing this of humungousaurs with swords and shit on their tails so maybe I’m ripping this off but what are you gonna do huh? Call a cop?? I’ll just have sex with them 😎 ). This power change I think will give ben more routes of attack like  headbutts using horns or tail swipes with the mace or even making all the black spikes go on his hand and unleashing a BEAT DOWN on someone. Honestly Humungousaur like Goop is a good boy who didn't really require a change it was just something that bothered me more than something on a kids show should bother someone.

4. Alien X

Current power set:

1. Anything?

Revised power set:

1. Still anything

Ah Alien X, basically the antithesis to this whole time sink I’ve forced upon myself. Okay another cop out but Alien X was a really really good concept, it’s weird that the universe personified as DNA but who cares, this literal god has proper balances to ensure he doesn't break the show and they used it sparingly enough to make sure it never felt cheap and always had weight. The fact that Gwen and Kevin had to both use keys to activate Alien X was a realistic and cool decision and gave a sense of actual danger when using it. The problem with all this though is that Ben then only really has 9 aliens because Alien X is never used, so my proposed change is to make Alien X the 11th alien and just pop LODESTAR in his place for 10th, EVERYTHING else would be the same just Ben would have access to Lodestar earlier and since LodeStar is a good good boy I don’t think he needs any changes.

Thanks everyone for reading this hot mess of a series, if weren’t clued off from the title alone theres 2 other parts in this series which are probably better because I used all the aliens I had ideas for power changes first and then went “shit, there’s still 4 left”.

Things I Know About Airplanes Part 1:

First things first !

There are just some things you cannot control. So let go of that perfect travel itinerary. Air travel is made possible by so many factors its impossible that on everyday in every way everything goes perfect !

Is air travel safe ? Absolutely. Is airtravel convenient? HELL YAH. Is airtravel fun, cheap or relaxing? Go fish . So remember unless you want to swim , walk , or drive to your destination This airplane business is overall pretty cool.

I would have titled this post “ tips to make you a better traveler” , but that would mean that I deem myself queen supreme of all sky travel ever.

( and there is nothing that grinds my gears like a couple people calling themselves world travelers after their cruise to Cabo on spring break ). So this is just based on what I know as a flight attendant .

the plane will ( and I cannot stress this enough ) NOT , wait for you.

- SORRY !!!!! If you’re late the plane will not wait for you. If you miss your connection the plane will not wait for you. Let go. Stop stressing. I know this is a hard pill to swallow. You got this. Stop yelling at airport or airline staff because no matter what we do ( NO MATTER WHAT WE DO aka WE CANT DO ANYTHING) if we are delayed aka late or if you are late, Your plane is gone. THE PLANE WILL LEAVE AT THE TIME IT SAID IT WOULD. Much like you committed to being there at that time. I don’t make the rules. The rules pay me to be at work on time & here I am.

Why can’t the plane wait for you?

The world doesn’t revolve around you. How many more delays would you have caused if every time you were late for a connection or a flight , if it waited only for you. Just you. Did you ever think about the other 200 people trying to get to their connections. & maybe you haven’t thought of anyone else. BUT TODAY IS THE DAY YOU START. If you really wanna brain storm you can also think about the flight that needs your aircraft after you THOSE PEOPLE TOO . So just think about others. Bad weather ? Can’t go . Broken airplane ? Good thing we have awesome pilots and mechanics that can detect such dangers. No airplane ? Come on! you’re smarter than this. Stop being upset about it. Nothing you can do. Rebook your flight. Sleep in the airport if you have too or buy a hotel if you REALLY have to. Swallow your pride. You can travel across the country in less than 5 hours in a supersonic tin that sometimes has WiFi and movies ( more about that later ). Life is good.

Tip from a flight attendant, my personal fav , I swear by it:

Book the earliest flight you can. Like 5 am early!!!!! You are less likely to be delayed in the morning. There is less air traffic and the airplanes come from the hangers after being serviced overnight. If anything goes wrong you have time for a back up plan. Not being a “morning person “ is a lame excuse for an adult human these days . ok .

I’m honestly not sure if I’m giving airplane advice or just life advice at this point tbh. Moving on !!!!

2. Headphones and other things you forgot to pack.

Ok so. I’m for sure not about to tell you how to pack the perfect carry on because there is no such thing ( don’t let any YouTuber tell you so ) But I can tell you about the common items that people forget to bring with them on airplanes

( based on multiple true stories )

- headphoneS / MULTIPLE PAIRS / meaning the ones for your phone ( Bluetooth or lighting port AND the old regular ones ) if the airplane gods smile upon you the day of your flight , you might have inflight entertainment WOW free movies in your seat back! that’s insane right . ( especially since you’re paying for transportation and not to be entertained ) but if you forget the regular headphones, you can’t watch them ! I always also download other movies to my phone or tablet as well just Incase.

- A blanket or jacket. It’s true ! Breaking news ! not all airplanes supply blankets. Flight attendants get asked all day long multiple times if we have “ any extra blankets , it’s so cold in here “ so. Wear a jacket & closed toed shoes ?. Flight attendants have minimal control over the temperatures. Why did you wear shorts and sandals? YOU KNOW AIRPLANES GET COLD. Just like movie theaters are cold. You never ask someone at the concession stand to warm up your theater. This isn’t a house it’s an airplane. My airplane outfit is always nice jeans, plain tee, socks , vans and a jacket. Always. I will swear by it, I’m always the right temperature.

- Portable charger bank. This ones lame and I hate it. Not all airplanes have charging outlets. And it sucks I know. I work there. Can you imagine walking into work and there being no outlets. Well I feel your pain on this one. All of the airplanes are random. Some airbus models have screens and WiFi and chargers. And some have none. Luck of the draw. If you cannot find the charger in your immediate area. A flight attendant cannot make one for you. Be smart ! bring a portable charger bank. If the airplane is and old Boeing 767 ( super random plane we use for some Europe routes and select domestic ) it has cigarette lighter chargers ( like in old cars ) in some rows **** . Just bring a portable charger and avoid landing in a foreign country without access to information. Save yourself.

- SNACKS why do so many people overlook the importance of the airplane snack. Unless your flight is over 3 hours food will not even be available for purchase. And over 3 hours the food is expensive and mediocre. Complimentary meals are only served on long haul international or routes Jfk - SFO JFK - LAx and JFK - San ( direct ) . So airplane snacks are important. I usually get 2 choices . Something to munch on while watching my movie and one snack that actually is a meal. For example : I bring sunflower seeds and a Pb and j. Or if I’m feeling extra !!! : a quick bacon egg and cheese from the airport Starbucks, large venti ice coffee and Chex mix. You get the idea. It’s an airplane not a kitchen. It’s like a sky bodega. Don’t be unhappy. bring your own stuff. Especially if you’re vegan, or allergic to everything. PLEASE I BEG YOU! DONT BE THE FITNESS GURU WHO NEEDS MORE GRASS FED PROTEIN AT 38000 FEET. ( actually happened to me ) oh also people say that airplane coffee isn’t safe? Because of the water tanks. The Jury is still out on that: I will be your personal lab rat , I drink multiple cups of airplane coffee in one sitting. Make your assumptions and opinions. I will stay warm and caffeinated.

3. Hacks and tricks . Ok so we’re getting to the good stuff. I’m about to tell you the easiest way to be offered a free drink , snack , or in general special treatment on the airplane. Are you ready !? BE SUPER NICE AND PERSONABLE. Ok not exactly rocket science but seriously the SECOND you mumble under your breath, say something rude, get an attitude, look unsettled, or be annoying in the galley. You might as well kiss your chances of getting any special treatment goodbye. ( one person does something , the entire crew knows about it. rude passengers will not be rewarded . Being rude to airline staff never works . I’ve never seen it work) airline staff will most of the time reward good behavior. Wow are we back in pre-k? Or what. Ok now something more tangible . -BRING THE FLIGHT STAFF SMALL GIFTS. Most airplanes have 4 flight attendants on board. International has 12. If you walk on board and say “ hi I’m ______ seated in 23a ( whatever your seat may be ) I brought these for the flight attendants” almost 10/10 times we love it and tell the whole crew to take care of that person specifically. This is important : *You will probably have a flight attendant ask you “ thank you for the gift. do you need anything ? “* and that is your go to time !!!! That’s your time to shine !!!!!! If you want a free drink or snack !!!! Ask now!!!!!!!!!!! This is a real thing and it really works. Small gifts include : individually rapped candies, hand sanitizer, a pack of pens, any kind of snacks at all , a 4 pack of Red Bull/espresso 4 little bags of mnms,donuts or munchkins from Dunkin’ Donuts. Honestly it doesn’t have to be big or expensive! If you show up to your flight on time AND you’re nice to the flight attendants. Just wow . Doing better than 99% of anyone else on airplanes. Go you . If you are a high maintenance flyer this is your go to move to get on the good side of everyone on the crew. Or buy a first class seat ok ? A smile and some donuts go a long way. DO YOU WANT FREE WIFI ? Me too but unfortunately most of the time the WiFi is expensive and not at all free . BUT after take off if you connect to WiFi and the WiFi connection is sourced by the company “gogoinflight” ( you’ll know cause that’s what it’s called in your settings when you connect to WiFi ) I do have a trick. Gogoinflight is a company that sources WiFi for major airlines, if you have T-Mobile ( or if you know someone with a T-Mobile phone number *****) you can enter your phone number and boom free WiFi for an hour. FREE BEER AND WINE - actually free - on international routes ( not Caribbean) don’t be a jerk ! It’s an airplane not a bar. You’re an adult you know you can’t act drunk on airplanes. It’s actually VERY frowned upon and personal CAN call security on you. If you can’t drink 2 glasses of wine on the ground without dancing on the table , you can’t on the airplane. Oh and TRUST me I’ve seen the light while yaking in the airplane bathroom and THAT MY FRIEND!!!! will not be my final destination!!!

BH6: TS S2 New Character Thoughts

Oh my gosh!!! I’d be lying if I said all this news didn’t make me emotional. Not only do we have season 2 confirmed to begin in May, but the show has been picked up for a third season! I couldn’t be happier!

And with this new season, we’re getting some new characters! Much like the list we got of the characters for the first season, I’m really excited about this new bunch of characters! So, here are my thoughts on them!

Despite these initial thoughts, I’m definitely going to give each of these newbies a chance on screen before deciding whether or not I like them :)

Chief Cruz - San Fransokyo is getting a new police chief! That’s pretty cool! I don’t anticipate seeing much of him, but I’m hoping to like them! I wonder what Big Hero 6 will think of them and whether or not there will be some sort of conflict? Maybe the chief appreciates what Big Hero 6 does for the city? Maybe he thinks they should leave it to the police? I’d like to hope they’ll be allies.

Chris - Liv Amara’s assistant. Hmmm. With the suspicions about Liv being our main villain for season 2, it makes me not want to be quick to trust Chris. Now, I do want to give him the benefit of the doubt. He might not know what Liv is up to. He may think it’s all innocent work. But if he does know what’s up, we’re in deep trouble.

Ian - Krei’s geeky scientist. I already like the sound of this guy just from being described as “geeky”. I’m already getting Mel vibes from him. Mel was also a scientist for Krei that just loves surprise parties. More than likely not the same case with Ian, but I’m looking forward to what invention ideas he’ll have. Maybe his ideas really help Krei Tech become a more successful company!

Supersonic Sue and Supersonic Stu - Yes, new villains! And a new villain duo no less! This grandmother/grandson super villain duo may or may not give High Voltage a run for their money though. I’d like to see a battle between them tbh. Love that Jane Lynch will be voicing Sue! Getting the feeling these two will be comical villains, but I won’t be so quick to underestimate them.

Sirque - An acrobatic thief! Another interesting sounding villain! I get the feeling she’ll be more of a serious threat for Big Hero 6. She sounds quite skillful and I’m looking forward to what she’ll bring to the table!

El Fuego - A Mexican wrestler. Alright, I’m down! I am for sure getting a huge feeling that Fred is a fan of wrestling and El Fuego is his favorite wrestler perhaps? A small part of me thinks he could turn out to be a villain or at the very least he’ll take part in helping take down a villain in the ring?

Megan - Hiro’s new friend! Literally, my first thought was “omg Hiro’s gonna have new friend I’m so happy for him!!” And I’m really hoping that thought will stick around throughout the rest of the series. But I saved my thoughts on Megan for last for a reason. I’m already seeing worries about Megan potentially being a love interest/creating a love triangle between her, Hiro and Karmi. I’m really crossing my fingers that it won’t be the case. I think I speak for most people when I say that love triangles get very old very quickly. That being said, there’s a small part of me that’s also worried that Megan could betray Hiro (again really hoping that won’t be the case). I’m really hoping that Megan will be a fun character and good friend to Hiro and maybe even they can both be friends with Karmi someday too? Please??

[cruddyborderlandstheories]

okay this isn’t a theory at all but I wanted to talk about my 3 Zane builds... because I can and nobody can stop me ahahahahaha

I used this site: https://bl3skills.com/

so far they have Zane, Amara, and Moze available so you should 100% go check it out cuz the creator is doing god’s work and also making builds is fun

the kill skill build im probably going to use mainly on single player:

the reason it's a kill skill build is because the capstone for Hitman (Death Follows Close) is insanely powerful when you consider the Seein’ Red skill. That is, the Seein’ Red skill allows you to activate all your kill skills whenever you activate ur action skill. And Death Follows Close gives every killskill a 40% buff and +4 seconds. which is insane (I spent like an hour just doing the math for all my builds lol). This will be using Zoomer and the Clone, where Zoomer’s got both Bad Dose (radiation damage and movement speed/fire rate buffs for Zane) and Static Shield (if possible bc idk if u can take parallel augments- drains enemy shields and replenishes Zane’s (if not, we’ll take Winter’s Drone which does cryo damage)) and the Clone has Schadenfreude (when the clone takes damage, Zane’s shield is regened) and Which One’s Real (enemies will aggro the clone more often after teleporting - because we want our clone alive and taking aggro for as long as possible- if not possible then we’ll take Binary System in replacement of Schadenfreude). 

this is probably going to be my crowd control build. It likely won’t be outputting a huge amount of damage but if there’s a lot of people and i’m being overwhelmed i imagine the quick action skill charges and the increased movement speed will help a lot

which leads me to the omgwth build that i am v proud of:

This one is my kamikaze build because when I’m playing with friends I like to do dumb shit, and dumb shit includes running into a fight im most definitely not going to win without dying. I take inspiration from suicide psychos.

so basically I’m gonna use the barrier and clone. The idea is to deploy both action skills at once (and pick up the barrier), then run into battle screaming shooting at enemies through the shield. Hopefully at this point I’ll have picked up a nova shield and, i think you can see where this is going, then I can run into the middle of a bunch of enemies and as the barrier’s timer runs out and my shield depletes, teleport out using the clone once the nova hits (we don’t want to be there too long or else our clone’s timer might run out, which is why I didn’t go for Hearty Stock) and let my shields recharge in preparation to do it all over again.

an explanation for a few skills that may make you go “why??”: i chose Really Expensive Jacket over Futility Belt bc the latter is a kill skill, while REJ is always active- a -50% duration of DoT’s is REALLY good, especially if i get DoTed before i teleport, then the shields immediately recharging after i teleport (Quick Breather) won’t take effect because they’ll instantly be knocked out again. Also Zane screams a LOT when he’s on fire and I’m good. I’m good. As for why I chose Duct Tape Mod, I wanna see if it works with the Infinity. if it does, then my god. that’s glorious. Am also hoping it fires a grenade with your grenade mod attached. If it does, then it will likely take from ur stock, which is another reason to have Pocket Full of Grenades. if it doesn’t, then it’s a vanilla grenade and I don’t think that will take from the stock (that’d be kinda shitty), and, hey, free booms.

The barrier stays active for 9 seconds (12.6 with both action skills active) and the clone stays active for 18 (25.2 with both skills active- not sure how this will work when one action skill runs out). The reason I got Violent Momentum is because bullet damage is boosted by the barrier (+20%) and that’s an additional straight +30% gun damage on top of that without any speed boosts as we “run” into battle, but, even better, I’ll be using the Charged Relay (bonus speed!) and Deterrence Field (touch the shield as i zoom towards you and get zapped asshole) augments for the barrier. We’ll also have the skill Supersonic Man, which will maximize our movement speed when the barrier is up. Which is exactly what we want. And, of course, the clone will have Binary System (cryo nova on teleport) and Dopplebanger (booms whenever the action skill ends). because we want to maximize the amount of boom happening at the very end of this maneuver. 

The reason we’re going for grenade regen here (Pocket Full of Grenades) is because we want our clone to be a big strong boy so he can tank and output damage for us before going boom, since after we teleport to relative safety we’re going to need to let our shields regen. Binary System will cause a cryo explosion and Dopplebanger will cause a fire explosion, not the mention the skill that drops a ‘free’ grenade when the clone is killed (wondering if that stacks with Dopplebanger or not). without the Death Follows Close skill, we need to rely on the base 15%/s grenade recharge rate, so that leaves us with about 120% of a grenade 8 seconds after we kill an enemy. and, hopefully, with the way this build is gonna work, minimum 3 grenades before the next time our clone is summonable (with Adrenaline we get a 20.8 long second recharge rate w/ our clone and a 14.8 recharge rate w/ our barrier- 3 grenades would take ~24 seconds with max efficiency) and our shield is fully charged (not factoring grenade drops from enemies here)

Oh, also, my clone is getting a rocket launcher. because that’d be really funny with a +51% fire rate and +33% damage (not to mention the +10% damage from swapping places). If my nova shield burst won’t kill ‘em, then the cryo nova could, if the cryo nova doesn’t, then the rocket launcher could, and if the rocket launcher doesn’t, then the fiery explosion of death might! 

... or the grenade, depending on if i detonate the clone or it gets killed before i’m able to. We’ll see.

my turtle kwami build (that’s a protection build for those of you who don’t miraculous ladybug) for when i think i'm gonna get absolutely fucked without shields and/or I wanna snipe:

focus on cryo sniping and surviving mostly. i love cryo but uh im not the safety/surviving type so i am slightly disappointed it’s merged so far into his barrier tree. Thankfully, i don’t mind sniping/supporting my teammates every once in a while so it’s not a problem, i can get my cryo fix lol. i still prefer pretending this is Jackass the Video Game tho

anyway we don’t care much about increasing shield capacity because if things go according to plan we’ll have the barrier up most of the time (base barrier recharge is 18 seconds, it will become 14.4 seconds) and tbh capacity doesn’t matter much if our shields don’t regen fast enough. also if we’re using amp shields for sniping, then we want the charge rate to be as fast as possible for that as well. We’re also focused on health regen for surviving bc snipers are squishy and we might not be able to get out of danger fast enough so we wanna healthgate, so we got both Rise to the Occasion and Salvation

We’re also using Confident Competence and Nerves of Steel to maximize our sniping potential. To maximize Cryo stuff, we’ve chosen the skills Best Served Cold and Cold Bore. The reason I want to maximize cryo stuff is because of Calm, Cool, n Collected which is fucking amazing, and on a sniper where the duration or recharge of ur action skill can be fully reset? BEAUTIFUL. (even though I’m not big on the Under Cover tree, CCaC is one of my favorite skills. Holy shit is this awesome). Cryo is also great on a sniper in general, as frozen enemies can’t dodge you spamming their crit spot.

We’re also going to get Seein’ Red so activating an action skill will set off all kill skills. These kill skills include Futility Belt (all elemental damage is set to non-elemental damage- basically a 22% damage reduction to all damage for 8 seconds), Salvation (weapons grant life steal for 20% damage (which is AMAZING) for 8 seconds), and Cool Hand (increases reload speed). The reason we’re aiming for reload speed is because we wanted Almighty Ordnance and getting Praemunitus wouldn’t let us do that, so we take the second best thing to magazine size.

Our augmentations will be Nanites or Some Shite (health regen, reload speed (synergizes with Cool Hand) and shield recharge delay (amp shield)) and Redistribution (increased gun damage by +9% for 3s whenever the shield takes damage). For Zoomer, we’re gonna take Winter’s Drone (in hopes that will still proc Calm, Cool, and Collected- if not, well, cryo is brilliant for snipers anyway) and Almighty Ordnance (for long distance missile damage. I was thinking this plus whenever Zoomer drops a grenade (which will be a singularity grenade) will be absolutely amazing).

anyway, if it wasn’t obvious enough, im maining Zane and i'm going to have a great fuckin time yeet

im hoping i’ll be able to min/max further with class mods and artifacts. I get the feeling Zane’s class mods will allow him faster recharge rate for one action skill (either depending on slot or whichever tree the mod buffs most). Artifacts are apparently going to buff movement types, which I’m REALLY excited for. I hope I can get some cryo damage going with my slams/sliding.

I am also very much considering a Hyperion and Tediore build for my kamikaze build until I get max level, then we’ll see which legendaries i need to grind in order to maximize chaos with my gear as well. Idk what kinda rocket launcher i’d get though. maybe something Maliwan... ooo you know what, do the CoV make rocket launchers? I’d love to see how the heat mechanic plays with the clone getting a copy of your current gun...

EDIT: edited to add links to each build.
