Ultimate Escape Room

Sam, Danny, and Tucker are bored. Nothing seems to be a challenge anymore. Summer vacation is coming up but they can’t agree on anything . Themepark? What’s a better roller coaster than Jack driving? Scary movie? I’m sorry, nothing beats Fright Knight’s nightmare realm. Bungie jumping? Danny can fly. Then Tucker, who’s been typing on his computer, asks “what about an escape room?”. The others are about to shut the idea down because seriously? Easy. But Tucker just grins and shows them his computer screen.

“Ever heard of Arkham?”

Danny and Sam lean over to read the description and all three turn to each other and grin. 

Now, what’s the fastest way to get into Arkham?

…

So the chaos trio do ✨something✨ that gets them locked up in Arkham and then try to escape and they keep. You know, normal stuff for Arkham inmates. Except this trio? Keep. Getting. Out. Of. Their. Cells. So they are just passing by locked up rogues and waving at them as an army of prison guards chase after them. Sure they could get out the easy way (Aka powers) but no, this is a challenge so they have the normal rules of an escape room. Aka, you can’t break anything and an extra rule where if a guard catches you, then you can’t fight back (also, no one can get hurt). (They make fake identities and everything). So they need to go through the whole process. Figure out how to unlock cuffs. Could be learning to pick a lock with a spoon/stick/long nails. Then find the keys. Possibly having to crawl through vents to get in the warden’s office. Or making deals with prison inmates. Like, I’ll get this for you if you give me that (however they extract a promise that the rogue can’t kill anyone with whatever they help them with.) So they are in prison literally doing errands like find freeze’s weapons in exchange for him telling them the passcode to the gate or something. Or getting Waylon some meat from the cafeteria and he’ll break the lock on this movable vault that has materials to make smoke bombs they can use to distract the front guards. 

These kids are just going wild and it gets to the point where Arkham has to call the bats (like no Waylon, we won’t escape with you, we have to do it without breaking any walls!) So literally the only reason they are not escaping is because they want to do it ‘right’. But they are also aiding other rogues in their escape (at least certain ones. They aren’t helping joker no matter what he offers)

It’s driving the bats mad. They have vigilantes stationed in each hall, in multiple monitor rooms.

They aren’t even using anything clever to block the cameras. They’re using mirrors. Mirrors! Where did they even get so many handheld mirrors! 

They are running circles around the bats. The escaped rogues literally aren’t doing anything yet because they want to see how the three hellions will escape the entire bat clan. They have bets going. So there is a temporary truce.

Just imagine the conversations/interrogations the bats will have with trio, trying to figure out their master plan - because surely there's something more going on than three chaos young adults playing a game, right?

They trio each have a different story. And they are so passionate/convincing actors that no one knows which story is real. At least one of them told a sob story with legitimate tears.

Danny: (all mysterious) You shall never know our master plan….until it is too late. And just casually dropping hints that there is something greater or that the bats are playing right into their hands. Even using ridiculous scenarios like yesss the ketchup explosion in the cafeteria….We are one step further….Mwa ha ha! (Rubs his hands together)

Sam: (absolutely distraught with literal tears running down her face and ruining her mascara.) There is a terrible organization holding their parents hostage. They had been framed and forced to be in Arkham. If they don’t do exactly as they are told, their loved ones are in danger! Should we stay? Should we escape and help them!? No one will believe us and what if we make things worse? We don’t know what to do!

Tucker: (takes a long slurp of a smoothie. Where he got one? No one knows). Yeah we were bored and had nothing better to do than mess with you guys. (Sluuuuurp).

The bats are trying to figure it out. Is the black haired guy telling the truth and the other two are just manipulating them? Is it the girl and the others are only following the plot of the organization? IS THE BARET KID RIGHT AND THEY’RE JUST MESSING WITH US!? WHICH STORY IS IT!?

Under normal circumstances, Sam wouldn’t give a sob story because It’s not really her vibe. But Sam has the opportunity to pull one over on a bat. Do you honestly think she won’t take a chance to mess with them? Also, Dick is the one who is interrogating Sam.

He’s crying too by the end of the story.

Poor guy, Sam will play his heart like a fiddle. 

Also, their fake identities are Jordan for Danny. Mortica for Sam (or Macey for short) and Phineas for Tucker. The fact that they are using fake identities is the only thing they all agree on in the interview. But the bats find nothing on them and the identities are so realistic they wonder if they are even fake at all. If the three are faking fake IDs to throw them off their tail from looking deeper. Apparently their ‘parents’ having a missing persons report.

Damian is interrogating Danny. It’s just so easy to rile him up and get under his skin. It’s absolute drama in that interrogation room. 

Danny: ah yessss. Master plan.

Damian: you shall never succeed! Justice shall prevail evil scum!

And Duke is interrogating Tucker. He just…has no idea how to respond to this. He wasn’t trained for this response. Hostile, yes. Mysterious, yes. Scared, yes. Civilian, yes. Even Flirtatious! YES! But not…this. What does he do? should he take out his note cards?

Also, I’m adding a mix of home alone elements to this. They have to get past the bats somehow and it can’t be lethal. Poor Jason and Steph who are patrolling the halls fall victim to most of this.

At one point, both of them are tied up together and hanging from the ceiling. While the trio just casually walk by under them. 

It’s dental floss. Really strong dental floss.

Then the bats start taking sides. 

Jason? once he hears Sam's story, he's immediately willing to help her. He and Dick are searching for that missing person's report almost religiously.

Tim believes Danny's story. part of it is because it makes the most sense, and the other part is that he's slightly biased from becoming an evil megalomaniac in every timeline he's seen so he's subconsciously trying to stop that from happening here.

Cass believes Tucker because come on, it's Cass.

Steph is siding with Tim because her father was cluemaster so same reasons.

Bruce is trying to fact check all of them and is failing desperately.

Sam added some ‘clues’ in her interrogation and basically threw the GIW under the bus as the organization. So the bats do find a shady organization but so far no missing persons so the other bats still don’t know if what Sam is saying is true or not while Dick takes this as absolute proof and Jason feels like it doesn’t matter if she’s telling the truth at this point. It’s a corrupt organization. So he’ll still blow it up.

I think in this AU, the GIW isn’t a threat and more of an annoyance so Sam just plays them up as even worse. Like, she doesn’t say anything untrue just makes it sound worse out of context. Oh yeah, they opened fire on this random kid. (Gregory when they thought he was phantom) Oh yes, they have destroyed Danny’s house at one point. (The prank war with Vlad) Yes, the have an unhealthy obsession with dissecting people. (Even though they are too incompetent to actually catch anyone).

So again, they don’t know if Sam is telling the truth of the organization or they just used this random organization to draw their attention away from the three’s plans (as Danny implied). Possibly an enemy organization or a competitor.

I know everyone makes the GIW a big threat but I decided to change it up. They aren’t a threat but still get obliterated by a pissed off Red Hood and Nightwing.

And that’s  another reason why Sam gives the sob story. Danny and Tucker are great but they wouldn’t actually sick a crime lord on the GIW. Sam? Absolutely would. She does not care what happens to them. They tore up her garden one time with a stray shot. She wants revenge. And sure, she didn’t actually know what would happen to them after the bats find out but she still doesn’t care.

And through all of this, the rogues are sitting back and eating popcorn while Joker screams bloody murder from his cell.

Aizawa: on a scale from ojiro to Midoriya, how impulsive are you right now?

Izuku: oh sure, become a vigilante one time and you’re being used as a bad example-

Aizawa: first of all, I used you as a bad example before that and I will be using you as a bad example long after you graduate

Aizawa: secondly, don’t try and make this seem like it was an isolated incident

Izuku problem child Midoriya:

Okay so the FF7 fandom is having a meltdown and I gotta talk about it. See, the Rebirth Ultimania came out yesterday in Japan, and one specific piece of information has people freaking out.

[source]

This is, apparently, beyond the pale. People are insisting that it doesn't make sense, it's a retcon, it doesn't align with the games at all, et cetera, with a lot of people specifically citing Before Crisis as proof that this can't possibly be correct. After all, Elena is in her last year at Shinra's military academy in the game, and the academy is structured like a high school, meaning she'd be 17-18 during her Before Crisis appearance.

The issue here is that the majority of people don't actually know the timing of the aforementioned appearance. Because Before Crisis starts in 0001 and Elena is in it, people seem to assume that means she's in it from the beginning. This isn't the case at all.

In its entirety, Before Crisis is 24* chapters long—Elena appears in Chapter 22, specifically with her appearance starting on October 4th, 0007. (*In spite of technically being broken in 24 chapters by title, Before Crisis is actually 26 chapters by presentation, with two of them split into two parts.)

Meteorfall took place January 21st, 0008. We know this because the date is visible on the monument in Edge shown in Advent Children:

This means Elena's introduction in Before Crisis was less than four months before Meteorfall.

These portraits are months apart. She cut her hair and got out of the school uniform, but her face is completely unchanged; it's easy to say this was to lower artist workload, but the dates in-game are very specific.

The new Ultimania literally just reiterated information we've already had since around 2006. This has been canon for almost 20 years—it's not a retcon, it's not a "weird new decision," it's not another case of the Ultimania timelines contradicting the actual source material. This has been confirmed in-game as canon for longer than a lot of current players have even been alive.

I don't care what people do with this information, mind you. I don't care who you ship Elena with or anything like that, it's irrelevant to me. I don't care about age gaps or what the fuck ever, she's a pixel doll, do what you want with her.

But this isn't new. And everyone freaking out about it as if it isn't information we've had for so long that the game in which it was revealed is older than the character is kind of ridiculous.

I am begging you, do not cite sources with which you are not familiar in an attempt to make your assertions carry more weight. There are nasty people out there who will take your ignorance on the topic and use it to be even worse than they could have if you just stated that her canon age makes you uncomfortable so you portray her as being older and don't care that it's noncanon.

(Also, seeing the same people who declared that only the Ultimanias are correct even if they contradict the games or each other, now flipping to declaring this specific Ultimania to be wrong because "it's just meta" is indescribably frustrating. Sephiroth being 30 in-game was something the Ultimanias "fixed," but Elena being 18 in-game is something that the Ultimania has "screwed up." Pick one.)

Nothing quite like banging out 3 new chapter drafts for a single story overnight, while sobbing to yourself through it because even you put yourself in the feels

Shameless fic plug here

[babyspacebatclone]

I re-read some of my old AO3 Entrapdak fics for the first time in a while.

How the boiling stars did I forget I created a canon-compliant timeline where Entrapta and Hordak become the central figures of a religion for a not-statistically-insignificant percentage of the former Prime Empire??????

Quoting a later prequelish fic:

Entrapta: “Yeah. I mean, I do get worshipping She Ra as a divine force for the destruction of Prime, and Adora kinda has to deal with being part of She Ra. And I don’t mind the ones that say I’m a saint, they’re generally pretty cool actually and really into science. But the ones that want to worship Hordak...”

Mermista: “There are people who want to worship Hordak?”

Entrapta: “The entire ‘Killing Prime’ thing. Yeah, it didn’t stick, but they don’t seem to care.” Entrapta shrugged. “He can’t stand them. At all.”

Mermista: “Ah?”

Entrapta: “Yeah, we really need to get some rituals in place before we let any more into Dryl.”

Mermista: “Rituals??”

Entrapta: “Like ‘Don’t touch the saint. Ever. It’s not a blessing. Do not touch the Hordak. Please.’”

Mermista: “Ah, yes, well, I can see that...”

The left wing party in the uk is trying to make it so that anyone aged 0-25 cant be ‘rushed into gender affirming care’ because ‘life changing decisions should be properly considered into adulthood’

I live in the uk. Im british. Im so fucking scared. I’ve known I was trans since I was 12. Ive been transitioning since I was 13. Ive known I wanted HRT, top surgery since I was 12. And now theyre trying to class fully grown adults as children so they cant access it. People can get married and have kids by age 24. So many people move out at 20. Are they kids too now?

Whats the fucking point of even turning 18 at this rate. I thought that was the age youre considered an adult. Theyre not even going after trans kids anymore they just want every single one of us gone. Because if they manage to ban HRT for people under 25 theyre gonna go for older trans adults next

Whats even the point of saving up for testosterone anymore. Because by the time Im 25 theyre probably gonna ban it for people under 30. Then 35 then 40 until they completely get rid of us

"You've always been good enough to me." I've been going through a rough patch lately with my self worth and art. I'm trying to work and get better at what I do, but as of late I've been struggling more with feeling like I'll ever be "good enough" in comparison to those close to me. I've been feeling like my work will never be up to snuff and that people and myself will never like what I do. Countless nights of me nearly scream crying at myself going, "why can't I just get this right? Is anyone even going to notice?" And many other thoughts just like it. This is something I'll still continue to struggle with, But maybe as time goes on I'll be able to learn to love my art and myself more. In times like this I tend to keep forgetting that there are a handful of people that genuinely like what I do. To which I apologize. I appreciate you for your support of my work, Genuinely I do. I just wish I had a better headspace and words to convey it.

(And sorry if my art has taken an odd shift in style, im currently trying out new techniques to improve my work.)

Izuku: so I started seeing someone

Aizawa: like a therapist, hallucinations, or dating?

i wish that the people around me understood what being my flavor of nonbinary is like. maybe they wouldn't fucking misgender me if they, too, felt the verbal equivalent of being stabbed by 1,000 knives every time someone used the wrong name and pronouns for me

[banesberry-anomoly]

Transferred all my images on our phone to an SD card and now all the metadata for the dates attached to everything is fucked up and I cant fucking figure out how to either reverse it or find the original creation dates of the files to resort and its pissing me the fuck off cause I kept track of certain things esp attached to some of the art and I dont wanna have to backtrack and search my blog of like 8 diff places on disc to find the original fucking date I made/downloaded/whatever the images

Gonna fucking break something I SWEAR TO GODS why the fuck did it even do this

I saw someone saying that Rhadore is in Wutai and I'm losing my mind over it so here's a reminder that it's a whole different country, which is literally stated in First SOLDIER within the first five minutes of gameplay, and is mentioned several times. Glenn & Co. make a point of comparing and contrasting the differences between Rhadore and Wutai several times in the first couple chapters.

We haven't heard about Rhadore elsewhere in the Compilation because its existence is a retcon—but the devs are allowed to do this, since it's their game and the overworld of the OG was hardly detailed, and its lack of reference in the rest of the series is easily explained by the plot of First SOLDIER. Glenn & Co. literally commit genocide on its people, so there's no cultural footprint left, and then Shinra accidentally sets off a geological disaster that renders the land itself unsafe. All of this takes place 15 years prior to the OG, so it's very much history by the time we start in on the main story. There was a whole 'nother war in between.

Saying that Rhadore is part of Wutai because it's geographically close on a global scale and has clearly had some cultural exchange due to that proximity is like saying that Taiwan is part of the Philippines for the same reasons. Which is equally incorrect.

I wish I were less surprised that people are lumping together fictional Asian-coded nations and people the same way they do in real life, but mostly I'm just disappointed.
