#to be constantly surviving

[factsilike]

God, I just realized.

WWX had really been in survival mode his entire first life. Since like, the day he lost his parents as a child, hasn't he?

You have something that belongs to me.

The world was shaking within a void of Glowing Green as the Justice League was listening on what John was explaining that the Infinite King that supposedly is a Protector has been gone off the rails in straight panic for the past 4 months straight because something very life or very death Important was taken from him and he been on a rampaging hunt throughout the multiverses, literally tearing and reforming them as he went, as John described the tip from Deadman.

Unfortunately, what was important to the Infinite King is on this earth. John immediately cut off Bruce as trying to fight him all together even with Superman that Infinite King would easily squish Superman like a mosquito with only just a tiny breath.

Just let the Infinite King find what he is looking for and pray that it is safely unharmed so we may survive afterward.

That was 3 hours ago after Batman went back to gotham, as Batman stared in horror of a larger then Life elderitch being had both of his arms deep in Jason's chest.

"You have something that belongs to me." The Infinite King hissed.

Just hearing the hitched Gasp in Jason's voice was reeling in the terrible flashback of that night that triggered his fight instinct, only for the very shadows seemingly holding him back by literally force.

Only for the Infinite King to pull out a tiny lararus Pit coated goopey naked 4 year old girl sobbing out daddy with her arms stretched out, doing tiny gimme hands toward the king.

"Oh Ellen..."

Jason's body was seemingly unharmed, beside the raspy breathing that was slowly developing into a hyperventilating hysteria after being chased like a hunted rabbit from a savage starving wolf for three hours straight by this elderitch being in Crime Ally.

The Large humaniod Elderitch being with several glowing green eyes that was a nightmare fuel, mixes together with stars, galaxies, and secrets untold slowly shrank more and more becoming more human in a gruesome fascinating way that would Haunt Bruce's nightmares for years to come.

the Infinite King was now a Teenager with glowing white hair defying gravity, tanned star coated skin, large teaey icy blue eyes in a black winter suit with a DP symbol delicate, holding the whimpering little goopey girl close to his chest, covering her with a star covered cape now blanket as he kissed her forehead looking at Jason.

"Jason Peter Todd, I am sincerely thank you for letting my daughter possess your core after she accidentally went off on her own and accidentally dipped into the deep end up Tainted Ecto portals. Your core will be healing in a few months after Ellen had kept using yours to save her own destabilizing."

"I must go now before she began to destabilize more, but here is my contact ritual." The infinite King disappeared into a clearer glowing green lararus Pit portal after a good bow, leaving behind a note on Jason's lap.

The coms were suddenly back on as Tim's voice could be heard.

"So the reason why Jason was all Trigger gun happy was cause he was accidentally pregnant with the infinite king's daughter?"

The Prefect after flipping off literal death for the nth time this month.

Ace: We are gathered here today to remember Life of the Ramshackle Prefect, Yuu, whose life was taken too soon... Fighting yet another Overblot.

Yuu on the nurse's bed, wrapped up in bandages for the nth time: Stop talking about me in front of other people as if I'm dead, Ace.

*All of the first years outside the Nurse room, door wide open.*

Epel: *sniff* Sometimes, I can still hear his voice.

Yuu: Man, fuck y'all!

I know there has been takes about Arthur getting squicked out by meat after the prison pits but I raise you something else: he will eat just about anything now because no matter what- he’s had worse.

He’s enjoyed worse.

it's always i love you and never "leave." "huh?" "i'll tell everyone that you died in the woods. so you can go back to your brother and get to open a bar just like you've always dreamed of." "why?" "i don't know. maybe because you'd sacrifice a hand for me. or maybe because i've crossed your line. or because i... i like it when you're happy. just leave. go now before i change my mind. just go! that's an order!"

replaying kcd2 now and at first i didn’t really understand why hans just left henry and fended for himself but after thinking it through… hans really wants to prove himself to his uncle, wants other people to see he matured and is ready for his responsibilities. and delivering a message isn’t per se that tough of a task. since he had the responsibility for his crew, he actually blames himself a lot — that’s why you get approval points if you reassure him when he feels guilty about things that happened in the game. anyway, he trusts henry even though they bicker and fight like an old couple, so hearing from someone so close to him that he’s actually at fault hurts like crazy — that genuinely offended him. he needs someone to back him up and believe in him. so when you meet him again at the wedding, he basically says “shoo. i wasn’t good enough for you, now leave me alone.” which again proves that he is in fact hurt by henry’s critique but also lowkey blames himself because let’s be real… it was lowkey his fault that they ended up the way they did.

hot take: polites would’ve sided with the crew.

he fought in a war—he killed people. “open arms” does not mean he’s an eternal pushover. he was fully willing to try and kill that cyclops like everyone else. he has his own body count; he just wants to lead with kindness first. when odysseus stops leading with kindness or reason, he would be on the side of the crew.

mutiny is a collective crew decision because no one wants to kill more than they have to of people they care about, and polites is part of the crew.

the fact that he’s got a kalimba playing in his music and comes off as very sunshine-y and young does not mean that he is stupid or blindly trusting, and “mutiny” happens after odysseus has been steadily losing all of their trust for three years. it’s not some spur of a moment thing they suddenly decided. it was a bona fide discussion that they had to have because you need crew consensus (or, at the very least, the majority) in order to mutiny.

no, polites would not have sided with odysseus.

“open arms” means polites would’ve been the last one still believing in odysseus and in his capacity to change for the better, just like eurylochus, but not that he wouldn’t rebel or find injustice in the choices odysseus makes. he would reach out until the end, but he would still side with the crew. what odysseus chooses to do is not okay, and it is selfish, and that’s the point. and polites isn’t going to be okay with that when he didn’t even want odysseus attacking the lotus eaters without just cause. (now, imagine when it’s his friends and crew mates.)

everyone likes to forget that the first one to point out that what odysseus chooses to do is wrong and cruel is polites. he’s the first voice of reason trying to confront odysseus and make him change because he knows it’s unsustainable for both the crew and odysseus himself. epic is relying on you to have some knowledge of the trojan war, or war, in general, to understand odysseus’ mental state here, but odysseus is a monster during the war. he is awful, and his first expression of guilt or remorse at any of it in the epic canon is when he’s forced to be the monster by the gods’ hand to kill astyanax. that’s when he becomes “just a man”. until then, he is the monster, through and through.

(remember: epic was jorge wanting to see odysseus actually struggle with the decisions he makes because he, canonically in the odyssey, doesn’t with a great deal of them. so we pick up right when he starts actually struggling with what he’s doing and what he’s become.)

“open arms” is polites attributing all of that to the trauma of war, but the origin of it doesn’t matter because the crux of it is that odysseus, operating as he is right now, is hurting crew morale. odysseus’ distancing from the crew starts in the troy saga, and polites is the first one to notice it, so he’s the first one to reach out. eurylochus does it next in “luck runs out”. this becomes a recurring event of the two closest to him reaching out (obviously cut down to just eurylochus, post-polites’ death, but we’re talking about if polites had lived here) and being constantly rejected and shut down.

and then we hit “scylla”.

and polites would not have sided with odysseus with that.

it’s been three years of trying to reach out to him and nothing. polites is not siding with odysseus—i desperately need you all to stop misunderstanding “open arms”. it’s a song about polites approach to life, but it’s also a song about a friend reaching out to a friend that they think needs help desperately, and then the narrative shifts to odysseus constantly rejecting it (he rejects it from the get-go with polyphemus since the lotus wine is premeditated). nowhere in “open arms” is blind faith a part of polites’ philosophy of life, nowhere in “open arms” is it ever indicated that someone needing help excuses their terrible actions, and nowhere in “open arms” is polites shown to be willing to be walked all over—it shows the opposite, in fact.

he would’ve mutinied, and he would’ve been just as angry and just as hurt as the other forty-something men that were still on that ship (and he would’ve wanted to keep odysseus alive, just like eurylochus, because they don’t want him dead—they want him human).

put some respect on his name.

(this is, of course, assuming a universe where nothing in epic’s story changes except that polites survives polyphemus.

“but, soul—if he survived, none of this would’ve happened—”

yes, it would have because they would have still not killed the cyclops, odysseus would’ve still doxxed himself because other men outside of polites died there, and poseidon would’ve still pulled up which added all that time to their journey. yes, it would have still happened. polites death being polites is only significant to us, the audience, in the sense that he’s a named character. he is still just a crew member. anyone dying after ten years of surviving was going to be a blow to the crew’s perception of odysseus and, also, to odysseus’ unwavering faith in himself and his methods, especially after “open arms”.)

tbh after reading farthest north i am no longer questioning how long the terror guys went before admitting the bear was not normal. nansen was fucking beset by bears constantly and he just had to assume it was normal

Prompt 134

One of the young justice members is complaining about how their parents or mentors benched them after getting injured. 

And Marvel snorting and saying that that reminds him of Phantom. And of course, the YJ crew, ask who that is. 

“Oh Phantoms my big brother, pops never really understood our human halves or limits so…” and he just shrugs like he didn’t just drop Lore. And the teens smell blood in the water, they want to know more.
