#who raised Rogue?

[knifknightkorner]

Ellie has to take Danny’s core inside of her to incubate after his parents tortured him. 

Ellie would probably be 16+ in this, around there idk maybe a bit older. I've been reading a lot of pregnant Danny aus and haven't seen anything like this. I already wrote part of the first chapter because I have no self control.

More stuff about the au>>

Ellie moves to Gotham with two friends she made during her travels. She moves to Gotham because of the ambient ectoplasm in the air. Her two friends are Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy (Pamela Isely).

Ellie takes up the name Elana Isely-Quinn and becomes a ghostly rogue called Poltergeist. Ellie doesn’t stay off of the Bats’ radars for long. 

Ellie has to deal with her self-worth issues and the mental issues that arise when being an incubator for your blueprints.

Alright know what here's a little Guild Wars 2 reblog game for everybody; what mounts (if any) do your characters have in their canon, do they have names? Personalities? How'd they meet??

Spill it all below, tell me about all your creatures!!

Anyway one of my favourite examples of how there are only so many ideas in the world and execution is everything is that, if you boil it down to the barest bones, Tangled and Repo! The Genetic Opera have the same plot.

I try not to actively go digging for 100YQ spoilers, but I'm curious. Can Wendy do the dual element thing yet or is she still only using sky dragon magic?

I think another reason why I prefer rogue’s hair to be huge and untamed is because I think it fits her a lot more personality wise. rogue might be southern, but she’s never fit into that southern belle type of box. she was born into a cult, and then she was raised by terrorists, and that made a major impact on the way she deals with her feelings and surroundings. rogue can be incredibly violent and aggressive. whether it be threatening remarks or just actual violence she struggles a lot with having a proper response to certain situations. she has very extreme reactions, like her commitment to being self sacrificial to those who show her kindness, or the fact that a small disagreement can lead to her beating the shit out of someone

idk what to call anything. khura'inclan is crazy. LMFAO it needs a proper name. but its fun if datzcat was a rogue who got accepted into it, bc maybe at first they're a really accepting and "open" clan, but when the assassination happens everyones like IIII KNEW IT. THIS IS WHY WE SHOULDNT HAVE ACCEPTED KITTYPETS AND ROGUES. AS WELL AS EVERYTHING ELSE THAT WE'RE BLAMING THIS ON!!! bc kittypet apollo is too real.

MOSTLY i was like,

datz's earrings but it's him being tagged as a tnr LMFAO THEY TOOK HIS BALLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no he can be intact. i don't know what else he would be tagged for but i cackled at the thought. HIS BALLS!!!

[beeapocalypse]

Man, playing characters who are wrong about things is so much fun. For example, in my own games, right now I've got:

Avra, my little revenant, a shadar-kai/reborn phantom rogue, who just yesterday told one of her party members that "some things should stay dead" talking about the poor dude's daughter, despite Avra herself having been revived from the dead by the Raven Queen herself. (Though only one party member knows this, and she was stuck as a bird during that conversation. Can't wait for the fallout of that...)

Rook, my idiot bastard man, a half-elf swashbuckler rogue, whose party just found out about the giant fucking curse he's been hiding from them for WEEKS now, and started yelling at him about it. They only stopped because we were in the middle of a dungeon. I'm sure next session they will have more questions, and more yelling.

And the most interesting part is, if you look at these two characters, both of them are convinced in their own minds that they're right, that they're doing the only logical thing in the situation. But from an external perspective it's easy to see that they're wrong. Rook shouldn't have hidden something that big from his friends, his family. Avra shouldn't have said that to someone who was grieving, especially not when she herself was revived from the dead. But they both think they were in the right. And oh boy, is it a delicious combo to play around with.

what have you been doing in the adeptus amasecus lately, dear heinrix?

[opens-up-4-nobody]

You don't understand how unhinged I feel trying to construct an ending for Bleach that I personally would enjoy while knowing Bleach does not deserve my time and also not remembering enough to actually make anything coherent. And yet here I am.

Rewrite of Arkham Knight's (comic) Origin Story

So you know how the Arkham Knight in the comics is Jeremiah Arkham's daughter? And you know how complete dogshit her origin story is? Here's my version:

After the death of Jeremiah's wife, he kept his daughter in the lowest levels of Arkham Asylum out of fear for her safety. However, he was very neglectful towards his only child, having orderlies tend to her needs and otherwise leaving her alone for long periods of time.

As Astrid got older, she became curious about the upper levels of the asylum and the outside world and started sneaking out to explore. She met various patients and workers, and learned how they came to be there. Eventually she came across the members of the Rogues Gallery. And the Rogues, for reasons that varied from one to another, took the child under their wing. Not all of them - some tried to harm the child for her connection to her father, but the others managed to protect her. The biggest surprise was the Joker - it was no secret that her father utterly despised him, and he didn't exactly have any scruples about harming children. But when asked, he would just smile and laugh, like he just heard the funniest joke. Through the Rogues, she learned many things about the world - or at least, their perspective of it. And most important, she learned about Batman. The Dark Knight. Gotham's City's masked hero and guardian. Some spoke of him with hatred and vitriol, others with fevered obsession, and some with wistfulness, dare I say, fondness. Her father, though? To him, Batman may as well have been the devil incarnate. Apparently, he blamed the Caped Crusader for the death of her mother and, well, pretty much everything else wrong with Gotham. When Astrid tried to probe further, in one of the few conversations she managed to engage him in, he sternly told her to drop it.

Now, the thing is, Astrid, sheltered as she was, was not stupid. Far from it. She was her father's daughter, after all. And after years of being raised and taught by some of the greatest manipulators and masterminds in Gotham, she had learned how to tell when someone was lying, or at least not telling the whole truth.

She went snooping around and eventually came across a series security tapes of the day her mother died. Her heavily pregnant mother, who was in the cafeteria in the middle of a riot, and who she witnessed be violently assaulted by an inmate before going into labor on the floor. As her mother was carried to the nurse's office by orderlies, Astrid scanned the footage for any sign of the Batman and... she found none. He had not been in the cafeteria that day. Nor in the nurse's office, where her mother gave birth to a tiny, pale Astrid, before dying with her baby in her arms. In fact, as far as she could see, he had not been at Arkham at all. With this in mind, she concluded that her father had lied... either to her or himself.

And as for the Batman himself? Well she wouldn't meet him in person until years later, as a young adult. She did, however, come across Robin who, thinking she was a visiting relative of a patient, greeted her civilly. Before he could leave, she asked, curious. "Hey. Why do you...do what you do?"

Robin could have said anything to that. "Because it's the right thing to do." "Because no one else will." Instead, he merely shrugged and said, "Just trying to make Gotham a little better than I found it." And then he turned and left.

That...resonated with Astrid. She thought about those words later in her room. Batman and Robin must live in Gotham, right? It's their home. So of course they would want their home to be livable, to be safe. For Astrid, Arkham Asylum was a prison. A gilded cage, but a cage nonetheless. But even so, it was her home, the only home she had ever known. Did she not deserve to have her home as safe and comfortable as possible? She thought of the patients, of their pain and suffering, both external and internal, of the conditions they were being kept in. She thought of the guards and orderlies, who dealt with so much disrespect and vitriol, from the patients and higher-ups and each other with so little pay. She thought of the doctors, who had all but given up on actually treating their patients from lack of funds, proper equipment and just overall help, and were just trying to earn a paycheck and make sure they live another day. She thought of her father, who surely must know that all of this was going on... and was just letting it all happen.

She thought of the Rogues, this group of men and women who raised her and treated her as one of their own. The closest thing to family she ever had. Oh, they weren't saints. Astrid knew that they had all done terrible things, unforgivable things. But she loved them all the same. And Arkham was their home too, was it not? Did they not deserve to be safe and comfortable in their own home? Did they not deserve better?

... Yes, Astrid decided. They did deserve better. She deserved better. And if her father, or Batman, or the city wasn't going to give them what they deserved, then she would. No matter how long it took, no matter what she had to do, she would become Arkham's Knight. She would become a guardian of the asylum and all within and do everything she could to make Arkham the shining castle it was meant to be, the utopia her people deserved.

I forgot how much I love making dnd characters that aren’t optimized at ALL for their class. the last character I played was a rogue with a flat 10 in dex (his lowest stat) and no ranged weapons at all but was really good at lying and decking people in the face
