#team boomerang

[comradekatara]

> be zuko

> try desperately to ingratiate yourself within the avatar’s friend group (to no avail, of course, because you have terrible social skills, and previously tried to kill them, also)

> try to fight off the human wmd you previously hired to blow them all up

> fail miserably, because he is indestructible

> watch as sokka effortlessly kills him with a very precise boomerang throw to the brain

> suddenly recall every single time you got hit in the head by his boomerang

> feel immense gratitude for what you had previously dismissed as uncle’s obnoxiously stringent and paranoid over-emphasis on the importance of helmet safety

🐶 What do Scooby-Doo and Astro both have in common? These two dogs were originally designed by the late Iwao Takamoto and voiced by legendary voice actor Don Messick. Plus, there voices are almost identical to each other; however, Astro’s voice is a litttle more higher and raspier than Scooby’s voice, which was definitely apparent in the late 1980s revival season of “The Jetsons”. 🐾

Task Force X Suicide Squad Pokemon Teams

Here is my picks for the pokemon the members of the Suicide Squad would choose.

---

Amanda Waller

Malamar- An obvious pick because of her manipulative and malicious nature.

Mandibuzz- A pokemon associated with similar death and malice that Amanda is known for.

---

Rick Flag

Watchog- Rick often overwatches the missions of Task Force X

---

Harley Quinn

Mightyena- Harley owns a Hyena called Bud

Mightyena- Lou is the other Hyena that Harley owns

Gliscor- Since she's a part of the Batfamily now, her gliscor reflects that part of her. Her Gliscor would also have the hidden ability poison heal which reflects her history with Joker.

Roserade- A nod to her relationship with Ivy that also involves part of Harley's color scheme

Tinkaton- Harley's best known weapon is her giant mallet.

Mega Lopunny- This Lopunny has been through everything with Harley, including the Acid bath that bleach Harley's skin. This turned Harley's Lopunny into a meta pokemon that can mega evolve.

---

Captain Boomerang

Marowak- Boomerangs

Manetric- Electric Boomerang

Perrserker- Bladed Boomerang

Excaldrill- Razor Boomerang

Galarian Rapidash- the toy unicorn he has in the movie

---

Killer Croc

Mabosstiff- Killer Croc is a crime lord in Gotham City

Feraligatr- Killer Croc is based on the alligator of the sewer myth.

Krookodile- Crocodile (well, Gharial, but similar enough to a crocodile) thats also a crook.

Druddigon- Croc's skin condition gives him a rough exterior

---

King Shark

Quagsire- Many often see King Shark as dopey thanks to The Suicide Squad movie.

Cetitan- Another creature that once dwelled in the sea but can walk on land.

Mega Sharpedo- Great White Shark (Well, not really, but its shaped similarly)

Tapu Fini- He is a hawaiian demigod.

---

Peacemaker

Braviary- Its Eagly

Seismitoad- Activate Sonic Boom

Chandelure- A nod to how he can see the ghosts of people he's killed.

Scolipied- Scabbies for all (its a stretch i know)

Haxorus- Doesn't he use an ax in the movie?

Incineroar- Peacemaker is sort of a heel in terms of wrestling. He also doesn't care but secretly does like Incineroar.

Peacemaker's team consists of pokemon that come from Unova and Alola given that Peacemaker is a Captain America parody.

---

Deadshot

Intelleon- Deadshot is known for his espionage skills so handing him an Intelleon was an obvious choice.

Luxray- A perfect pokemon for Lawton's job, its x-ray eyes can see through anything

Sandaconda- Another type of gun-related pokemon.

---

Katana

Ceruledge- This is Katana. She's got my back. I would advice not getting killed by her. Her sword traps the souls of its victims.

Mega Lucario- A nod to her spiritual ties

---

Enchantress

Mismagius- She's a witch!

Spiritomb- An ancient artifact containing an evil spirit or just evil spirits.

Cofagrigus- Another archeological pokemon

---

Reverse Flash (Daniel West)

Orthworm- Daniel gained his abilities in a train accident.

Elektross- Daniel's Elektross is a meta pokemon. Its able to manipulate metal due to the accident which gave it a connection to the Speed Force.

---

El Diablo (Chato Santana)

Skeledirge- Spanish in origin

Salandit- A male salandit which ties into his criminal history and partly to how he killed his wife and children. Again, partly.

---

Deathstroke

Intelleon- He's a bounty hunter, so Intelleon was a good choice for him.

Talonflame- A nod to his connections with Robin/Nightwing

Hydrapple- A nod to the film title of Deathstroke: Knights & Dragons as well as his ability to regenerate as his Hydrapple has that ability

Olympian Aegislash- Deathstroke has been known to hold the Godkiller Sword, a weapon that is able to kill gods.

Gardevoir- This is taking a darker turn as this is in reference to Deathstroke's manipulative nature as he manipulated this Gardevoir to be loyal to him.

Kingambit- Deathstroke is not only an assassin like many samurai but he is also a leader.

I wanted to give Slade a very good team, and while I'm not an expert on pokemon teams, I think this is the best I could offer. Like Batman, Slade has other pokemon at his disposal that are also in nod to his other skills.

---

Bloodsport

Kryptonian Minior- A reference to him shooting Superman with a kryptonite bullet.

Klinklang- Bloodsport's armor in the movie The Suicide Squad is made up of nano-technology. To reflect this, his Klinklang is a meta pokemon made by Lex Luthor.

Shiftry- This is a stretch, but this is a reference to his time in Vietnam in the comics, as that was a part of his original origin.

---

A lot of these guys don't have full pokemon teams because A) I don't know enough about them and B) some don't seem like they would have full teams.

Yet again Suicide Squad Excludes Titular Members, Captain Boomerang and Deadshot

Suicide Squad: Dream Team, written by Nicole Maines, releases March 12th, 2024 and it appears a frequent member has been completed excluded from the team once again. While this so called "Dream Team" includes members who've been on the Squad prior to this comic, such as Clock King, Harley Quinn, and Deadeye, who seems to have joined the team recently. Bizarro is also included within this comic, and while not necessarily a Suicide Squad member, he has previously teamed up with the Suicide Squad within Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016), issues 16 and 17. Another member will be joining the group and her name is Black Alice, who has not previously been associated with the Suicide Squad.

As a fan of the Suicide Squad I find this lineup somewhat... Odd. I understand members like Harley Quinn, and the return of Clock King isn't unwelcome, but I do not understand the other members with little to no association with the Suicide Squad whatsoever. Bizarro makes the most sense of these new recruits, having a prior team up with the Squad, though without actually being part of Task Force X. But Deadeye and Black Alice? From the looks of it Deadeye will appear alongside members from the 1987 Suicide Squad run, Captain Boomerang and Vixen in Titans: Beast World Tour: Atlantis #1, which releases January 2nd. Black Alice has more of an association with the Birds of Prey from my brief research of her. She should not be on the Suicide Squad at all. Why is she here?

As previously mentioned, Captain Boomerang will show up in Beast World Tour: Atlantis, but what happens between then and Suicide Squad: Dream Team? Why put even set him up in the first place if they're just going to remove him? Will he die in Breast World Tour: Atlantis? Are they going to unceremoniously kill him off again for absolutely no reason? Or does he actually manage to join back with the Rogues for once?

And with Dawn of DC technically being a new timeline, I feel like being able to bring back Deadshot would be a better solution than using whoever this Deadeye character even is. Deadshot by himself is a popular character and his return would be a good selling point. Why exclude a popular character who's actively associated with the Suicide Squad ever since it got a revamp in 1987 to become the team we know them as now?

On top of that, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's main cast consists of Deadshot and Captain Boomerang, as well as Harley Quinn. It makes little to no sense to completely exclude at the very least Deadshot and Boomerang, especially with them being core members of the team, as well their appearance in the game launching February 2nd. Even more interesting is that this date happens to fall between the release of both Beast World Tour: Atlantis and Suicide Squad: Dream Team.

So a while ago some of my favorite people were making art for an ATLA/LOK-themed swimsuit calendar (which is still in the works) and I decided I wanted to join in the fun. But turns out I don’t know anything about canvas size or image resolution so I can’t actually use my drawing in the calendar. 😅 Which really just means I get to share it early! So yay!

Here’s a little preview. Full image under the cut cuz it’s a little suggestive (shows as much skin as you would expect on a speedo-clad swimsuit model 😏).

Yes I did the background like a Sokka painting, at the urging of my fellow degenerates. And the baby moose lion print on his speedo was inspired by @boomerangguy’s fic Date Night 😜

Anyone new to this all or wondering what the hell I'm talking about may have also disregarded it as relevant to them. I know this fandom has Destiel tunnel vision on both sides, whether pro or anti to argue and fixate all things there, but my recent posts are the nice shorthand.

If you want to pull together the puzzle pieces as they fell and were disregarded recently, (among which fandomites lost in the disk horse even implied one powerful producer didn't even exist), check my #team peachtree hashtag. It's about the businesses operating from peachtree avenue essentially long conning the media world to get back the airspace Time Warner/CW picked apart in waves (late 90s, 2006 Merger CW, Pedowitz installation/NY exit, hence Pedowitz getting no tolerance for his shit).

And yes, actually, the CW boycott massively helped, even if fans haven't let themselves figure out how yet because their pale coconuts haven't kissed. yet.

another fun tag for many to enjoy adjacent will be #apollo's curveballs. honestly that's where all the fun stuff is, start there. i been using the tag longer and it includes adjacent affairs

(London, May 2022) - I realise I never showed any of my new Blackguard cosplay on here; much to my utter embarrassment. I was also a little bummed that there weren’t many TSS cosplayers there, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles, I suppose. Anywhere above fifteen degrees celcius and I positively melt, too.

[misswoozi]

just read the first chapter of the team au, and gotta say 10/10 (sorry for taking a while to get around to it btw). the characterisation of vernon is so good, not sure how accurate it is to him irl but knowing you it probably works really well for him. i love how he reminisces (is that the right word?) on the previous students and his family, and how he turns that love for them into love for his new family. honestly your such a talented writer, like for real. super hyped to see what you do with this au. btw would you prefer team asks to be sent here or on the other blog? -🪃

side note, jihyo referring to herself and sana as mum and mum 🥺 i love them so much

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR READING IT WOW YOU MADE MY DAY

Vernon! I want him to come across as a team player who will always do the right thing but isn't one to make waves. he's very grateful for his quality of life and the safety of the school but he'll never do anything that goes against his moral compass (which tbh is true of virtually all the Broncos -- they're definitely the most morally upstanding faction in the AU). he's also very willing to serve the leader, whatever she asks.

I'VE ALWAYS LIKED THE IDEA OF SETTING UP AN APOCALYPSE BUNKER IN A SCHOOL (thick walls, locking doors, random supplies on-hand, etc.) and so I am really thrilled that you liked Vernon's connection to the setting.

THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS. YOU REALLY DID MAKE MY ENTIRE DAY.

I'd love to get asks here and keep the team-au blog for the writing itself if that works for you!

ALSO P.S THANK YOU, I AM VERY VERY EXCITED TO SHOW Y'ALL SAHYO IN THE APOCALYPSE, PLS STAY TUNED

The newest episode of the Pokemon anime (HZ029) gave us some new Pokeballs for the first time in a while

this one is a boomerang, and its just as useless as that name implies

a rocket ball, ironically not related to team rocket

this one's literally just a bomb

I don't even think they explain this one it just looks cool as fuck
