#the world is fallen

[noxcheshire]

I am sick, dizzy, and can barely think but you know what would be WILD?

If the DC universe was an echo of Danny’s world. What if the continents of their planet shifted enough where Amity is now in New Jersey and had then become Gotham.

And when Danny died underneath the portal a part of his death fractured and imprinted itself into those various worlds. One of them being Gotham, where Danny’s home ironically used to be where Wayne Manor used to be.

So just imagine it, you’re coming back from patrol, grimy, sweaty, and with questionable intentions by dressing as an overgrown bat when suddenly the lights dim. It dims and brings darkness, only enough light to catch the beady marble eyes of the bats you fear.

And then electricity jumps in the middle of the room, flinging itself around like an agitated snake in wide open circles.

Everyone is backing away, some weary, some cursing, some just half way out of their own suit.

And then a child — barely as old as your youngest now, flickers to life before you, screaming and screaming, wailing in pain as the scent of burning flesh mingles into the air. You can see the boy, black hair and blue eyes that underneath the bright light that burns them is causing black to turn white, and blue to turn green.

The electricity crackles and when the boy is about the drop, limp, certainly lifeless, he vanishes as if nothing had ever been there.

But he comes back, he always comes back, in the moment of calm and in the moment of despair, echoing that painful wailing of death.

It’s so wrong.

It’s very, very wrong.

It didn’t even matter anymore why the boy showed up, only that this moment of pain continues to haunt the cave of heroes.

Continuously haunting, even as some whispered apologizes when the boy appeared. Continuously haunting, even as some provided songs of comfort when the boy appeared. Continuously haunting, even as stories of Gotham are told and promises (though uncertain and flimsy at best) are spoken to the wailing boy who always drops fast and disappears just as quickly.

Always, it was the same.

Until one day it wasn’t.

The electricity crackled like it always did. A spark, and then a calamity of light. And the boy would be there, uncurling himself into a tense position as he would wail.

But not this time.

Instead the boy curled himself in the air, calm as can be, almost as if he were sleeping. Even the electricity that they have learned to dance away from was calm, gentle, like ocean waves.

And when the electricity vanished, the boy did not, instead dropping to the floor where Dick was quick to catch him, grunting in preparation of weight only to show alarm at how thin the boy truly was.

On that face that has haunted them all for months is just a boy, sleeping, and scarred. A boy breathing very slow, slower than what they would like, but here in the physical realm with them.

Dick brushed back bangs of black hair, and slowly, ever so slowly, glazed blue eyes stared back.

"She's gone, Adam" The amount of love I have for @mistystarshine 's "Live Again" is inversely proportional to the amount of fanart I made for it.

It's time to fix it.

A little tired of people saying Moon can’t stand up for herself. Like yeah I think one of the flaws she has is she is too lenient and forgiving, but also in her situation it’s VERY HARD not to be. And it’s very situational, usually manifesting with Five Pebbles.

She stops talking to you if you annoy her enough, and only starts again if you win her back over. You have to put in the work. She isn’t “rolling over” and letting things happen to her, despite the fact that she is in absolutely no position to bargain. As stated by her, her kindness and her words are the ONLY thing she has. So her taking those away from you, the player, is absolutely her standing up for herself.

Everyone brings up how she handles Five Pebbles (esp the comms thing) and it is incredible to me just how many people lay this entirely at her feet when the game states over and over again that even despite Moon’s intentional feather-light influence over him, he still resents her for being his superior. He seeks out a mentor who is her opposite.

He wants to be something more than what he is, wants to be detached from her, and she can’t do anything about that but do the best she can to exert as little influence over him as possible.

She is stuck between a rock and a hard place here, and was betting on her kindness to have fostered enough mutual respect that she wouldn’t have to resort to forced communications. She was wrong. He was driven by fierce desperation, something that she wasn’t privy to. And she paid for it.

Yes, this is a flaw of hers. But it’s not a universal one. (the rest of the iterators look to her for help- she’s the group senior for gods sake- and people act like she can’t take a stand) I genuinely doubt Moon would’ve waited so long to used forced comms if it were happening to anyone else. If it were being committed by anyone else. And that just makes the tragedy even sweeter.

The demons have taken over I've made a DW OC

Just gonna start rambling below here ⤵️

I'm gonna be honest I made the mechanics before the personality and lore,,

- Despite her 4-star speed she is not built to be a distractor due to her stealth. She plays mostly a supporting role for other Toons! Let's say a Vee is getting chased, she can help by stunning the Twisted's to buy her time.

- Her Twisted counterpart is basically Twisted Finn but for items. They also parallel one another-- Finn has no legs and Masha has no arms.

- Lorewise She's quite physically weaker and more prone to exhaustion..

- If she were to be ingame one of her requirements would be "50% research on Twisted Masha" and "Meet Twisted Sprout".

Spider-Verse, and fanmade spider-sonas in particular, reinvent the same issue you run into whenever you're trying to come up with a name for a Superman pastiche, which is that in the absence of the character they're derived from, in a universe where they're the first to ever do it, every single one of those guys would most likely just name themselves Spider-Man or Spider-Woman. And even if they do try and come up with something more creative than that, they're gonna stop well before they get to any of the extremely specific niche Spider subspecies. You'd have like two billion people calling themselves The Tarantula

Vampires are horny like queer fuckboys on Grindr. Werewolves are horny like anarchists in a squat. Changelings are horny like starving artists in a drug-drenched commune. Mages are horny like overworked university students. Hunters are horny like soldiers crowded in a trench. Demons are horny like repressed feudal courtiers. The Hungry Dead are horny like creepy cult members. Wraiths are horny like a depressed motherfucker who just wants to feel anything again. Mummies are utterly and completely devoid of horny, as unhorny as a job application, they are antihorny. This is why nobody ever plays Mummy: The Resurrection.

I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...

Christians are not allowed to use the suffering and evil around us as an excuse not to have kids. God promises us we will suffer for the faith, and so will our children. And still He calls us to be fruitful and multiply. Still the ordinary means of building His Kingdom is through the family.

If the Christians in pre-Constantine Rome were having children despite the lions in the Colosseum, you can have children despite the drag story hour at the library.

If the Christians in China can have children despite their pastors' imprisonment, you can have children despite the fentanyl crisis.

If the Israelites could have children despite 40 years in the wilderness or 430 years enslaved in Egypt, you can have children despite predictions of WWIII, nuclear winter, or climate disaster.

It probably won’t (it will)
