in my head, alone

Bond called in the evidence from L'Americain. In the wreckage of that hotel room, MI6 found a tape labelled Vesper Lynd - Interrogation. After returning from an aborted retirement after Spectre, Bond goes in search of his past. --- Fill for the Whumptober prompt: Recording.

[Read below or on AO3]

Bond knows where the tape is.

Since he found it in Tangier, scarcely a day has gone by that he hasn’t thought of it. Visions of its contents play behind his eyelids in the early hours, especially when his blood is cut with whisky or gin. He hadn’t had the time at L’American to consider what he’d held in his hands, but now, half-retired and as settled as he’ll ever be, all he has is time.

And he’s an alcoholic, after all. Bond knows plenty about the pull of things he shouldn’t touch.

His fingers itch for the video. It calls to him from its home in the well-kept, spotless archive room adjacent to Q Branch. The place is a glorified garage-turned-lair: underground and surrounded by the watery embrace of the Thames, its ageing brick and cement walls hold all manner of secrets. Its primary residents include a slightly terrifying, unruly-haired boffin, two occasional feline residents and an old bit of radioactive lint.

Bond is familiar enough with Q’s bastardised Dewey Decimal-esque system that he finds the tape he’s looking for with no trouble. Its label sends the same electric horror through him as it did when he’d found it.

Vesper Lynd - Interrogation.

Bond swallows to soothe his suddenly dry throat. It doesn’t help, and when he removes the dust jacket to make sure magnetic tape is still intact in its casing, he finds a yellow post-it note that only makes him more parched.

Don’t. Please don’t. It will only hurt.

The message is scrawled in familiar handwriting. It’s terribly messy, the sort of handwriting that develops in a person more used to writing with a keyboard than a pen. Bond rips it off, crumples and discards it.

In a move too perfectly timed to be coincidental, the door to the archive room opens.

“I see you’re as uninterested in my advice as ever.”

“Go home, Q.”

“I intend to. Just—” Q exhales sharply. Bond can hear the clip of his shoes as he approaches. “What point will it serve, James? Surely you’ve endured enough self-flagellation for ten lifetimes.”

Ten lifetimes wouldn’t be enough, thinks Bond. Not nearly.

“I need to know what they did to her.”

“For god’s sake, why?”

It’s a good question. Q is very good at asking the right questions, and he’s right a lot of the time.

A more reasonable man would listen to him. He’d throw the tape away, take Q’s hand, and be led away for a spontaneous weeknight dinner. Just like at L’Americain, he’d be smart enough to consign this bloody tape to the dustbin of his past.

Contrary to most people’s assumptions, Bond does have a sense of rationality. He’d certainly employed it with ruthlessness in Mr. White’s old hideout. Back then, the mission was all; anything else could be discarded or wait for its turn. The same faculties are failing to kick in now. He knows he ought to put the tape back. Nothing good can come of treading over the worst parts of his past; he’s known that since he was a boy. Introspection is for old men, inert men, men facing a sad and lonely end to their lives. It’s never been Bond’s favourite way to spend his time, and it’s not as if he doesn’t have better things to do now.

But his imagination has been running wild, and in Bond’s experience, there’s only one cure for that.

Reality.

“James?”

Q’s shoes clip closer behind him, though Bond hardly hears for the riot in his head.

It was only when he was a few weeks into retirement, watching Madeleine swim off the bow of a hired yacht, that he realised—

“Because I never asked.”

All those days — too few, in the end — on the shores of Lake Como, all those hours he and Vesper spent sailing, skinny dipping, meandering through vineyards and seaside towns. He’d never asked what scars she was healing from. They weren’t obvious to him, not like his were to her. She’d never mentioned them. She was as keen as he was to put the whole thing behind them, and he thought…well. Back then, he thought they’d have time.

The tape beckons. He runs his thumb over the word interrogation.

“Isn’t it enough to know she was hurt?” asks Q. “That it led to a deal? There’s over an hour of footage, it—”

Alarmed, Bond turns around to face him. “You’ve watched it.”

“I had to,” says Q, his voice tight. “You’re under no such obligation.”

That settles it. Bond pockets the tape and walks out. He sails past Q and his quiet protestations, down the corridor and back to the garage. Q follows him until Bond climbs into his car and turns the engine on, but his pleas meet with deaf ears. If this is a burden Q’s already had to bear, Bond will bear it too. He must. It was his bloody burden in the first place.

Even so, not even he could not have imagined in that garage how fiercely the footage would make him burn.

When he realised the depth of Vesper’s betrayal, Bond’s first thought was for her hands. Slight, long-fingered, bony and sure, they were hands that had never touched him first. As he watches them grip the edge of a wicker chair in a cold warehouse, he can almost feel them ghosting over his skin again. Never first, but always there eventually, mapping out words on his skin she could never bring herself to voice.

Vesper had woken before him, clearly, and they’d stripped her as they’d stripped him. The sight of her naked, shivering body — hair tangled and makeup smudged — is nearly enough for him to turn the tape off and throw it into the fireplace.

But Bond endures it, even though they are meaner to Vesper, crueller than Le Chiffre was. She screams through a beating that makes her bleed, as well as the laughter of her tormentors as they grab their cocks through their trousers to threaten her with them, too. An hour in, he hears himself scream, and it is only then, when they threaten her with Bond, that she sobs and says, “All right, all right.”

By the time the screen turns black, he is a bottle of vodka into a colossal binge-drinking session and filled with useless anger. The night ends with him punching a hole into his flat’s wall and upending a chair that had cost a small fortune. It splinters and cracks, irretrievable.

As he falls into the restless sleep of a drunk, Vesper’s words ring in his ears. I’ll give you the money! Just—just let him go. Please. Please, please let him go. I need him.

I need him.

It’s not just Vesper in his head, either. It’s M, too, and Mathis. I think she loved you. She must have known she was going to her death.

My love, thinks Bond, is rot.

Madeleine had the right idea, walking away from him. He’d have to—when he wakes up, he’ll go to Q and tell him—he’ll tell him—

The thought never materialises properly. Bond drifts into darkness, and in the morning, he wakes on the studded leather of his sofa. His head is pillowed in someone’s lap, and there are fingers pressed lightly to his pulse point. He doesn’t have to look up to know who’s holding him.

“You were right, Q,” croaks Bond. “I should’ve listened.”

Q runs a hand through his hair. Normally, he’d have a dozen I-told-you-sos to throw at Bond for his mistakes, but he has enough grace to keep them to himself today. Instead, he shuts his eyes and makes a pained sound.

“Oh,” he sighs. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, James.”

“Can you get rid of it? The tape?”

It’s asking too much of Q again. Lovely, clever, loyal Q, who had braved Austria, who had lied to Mallory to let Bond see out a hare-brained mission from the grave, and who had, time and again, absorbed the kickback from Bond’s bad behaviour and only bollocked him a little, usually with a smile.

Tampering with evidence will hardly do Q’s career any favours. On top of all the rest, it’s a wonder Bond has the gall to ask to borrow a pen, let alone for him to face Mallory’s wrath again.

You ask too much of everyone, says a voice in his head. And look what happens to them. Look how they suffer.

“It’s already done,” says Q. “I took care of it.”

Bond huffs. A grateful smile plays about his lips. “Always the Quartermaster.”

Q thumbs at the dark circles under Bond’s eyes. “Always a friend. Now come on, come to bed. Get some proper sleep.”

An old instinct tells Bond to get up and run far, far away. In the end, he is too exhausted to follow it. Q’s hand feels good in his hair. His voice sounds good in Bond’s ears, and there’s no one left from Bond’s past to hurt them anyway. There are only the ghosts Bond goes chasing after, and he’s learned his lesson there.

He won’t be chasing any more of them.

Unhinged Guinevere Lancelot propaganda:

- First of all I stan a dysfunctional ship so don't come at me with a write up about how they are not getting a good grade in couples counseling. That's the🤌🏼 SAUCE🤌🏼 for me

- They spends the middle section of the show exchanging catatonic levels of eye contact across a stage the size of a mega mall parking lot and honestly? It's nastier than whatever you can find me on pornhub. FACTS.

- The radioactive levels of VIBES he is giving off when he says "No one can refuse your wish~"

- but the SECOND they actually hook up my guy Lancelot is ON THE FLOOR. In his SLUTTY BLOUSE cross necklace CLUTCHED and Genny is like "....heyyyy..... you're a nice guy 🫤 but uhhhh......"

- If they existed in a modern context Lancelot would be like "post sex waffles???? Shaped like hearts??? M'lady???🥺" And Guinevere would be pulling on the pants, already half way out the door like "no." And Lancelot would idk do some true freak shit like put his hand on the pan to punish himself for low rizz levels

- "Your Majesty~" "jjjjaCk ass". I wish I was joking when I say I lost all class when I saw this live and let out a small yell in my seat AT THE LINCOLN CENTER.

- I do have a bootleg though where he immediately smirks after and I'm taking notes sweetheart. That's going in the diagnosis write up babe. <3

- We gotta unpack the exchange between Arthur and Genny where he calls her out like "uhhh??? I know you don't like the dude but your hate is obsessive 🤨"

- The fact that even Arthur knows what's up. Oh my GOD.

- WHERE IS THE C L A S S GUINEVERE?!??

- The fact that Lancelot apparently just hangs out, outside rooms where Guinevere goes??? But also the second Arthur is like "she's actually coming here right now" he's getting the FUCK out of there.

- Guinevere twirling her hair around her finger like "ohhhh the knights will kill Lancelot? 😍 Murder him dead you say? And then what? 😏 Teehee"

- " yOU'LL OPEN WIDE HIM? 😩💦" I'm also putting that in the notes too girlie.

- Guinevere is like if someone doesn't make me come in the next 5 seconds I'm gonna start killing hostages and Lancelot is like "hey what if no nut November was every month? :)" but that doesn't stop them #lovewins

- I'm constantly torn between I think if Genny called him the specialest lil guy who's going to heaven he'd insta-nut, but also I think you'd get similar results if she called him the saddest wet napkin of a man. Thoughts? Vote below! Kidding

- I KNOW that potato show they attended had RADIOACTIVE vibes. Families were probably there just to see the qualities of a prize winning potato and they were out here idk rubbing pinkies and going on about how King Arthur doesn't give them enough attention :(((

- THE FACT THAT Guinevere is like "why won't someone become ridiculously obsessed with me? :/" and then Lancelot does and she's like "oh GOD not like that" and then he's like "oh ok then I'll leave" and she's like "NOT LIKE THAT EITHER". <3 I love her and she's never done anything wrong ever<3

- I think if we gave them facebook in the middle point of the events of the show, they would be THE MOST ANNOYING PEOPLE on your feed.

- Courtly love is really just medieval edging if you think about it.

- I like how the moment that broke these two, where they decided they couldn't hold back any longer is them speaking mediocre French. He said "terriblement" like THAT and she was like "uGH. I can't NOT fuck him"

- The fact that WAY too many people are aware of their thirst. They just do this shit. In PUBLIC. IN FRONT OF THE CHILDREN.

- And I haven't even brought up the King Arthur of it all.... The fact that the guy who likes BIRDS gets around more than these two. INSANE.

- who calls the other Arthur in bed by accident? CALL THE NUMBER BELOW TO CAST YOUR VOTE

#TLDR; I love their cringe fail swag 😌#honestly. not inspired by anything that I am writing AT ALL. don't eorry about it #ohhh will BadSalmonella write something else about Camelot? 🥺 YES. but IT'S NOT GONNA BE #wHAT ANYONE ASKED FOR.#camelot musical #camelot

Spidersona! (See end for note)

This is one of my spider-sona ideas I had! This is Irish Spider! They have the same energy as Pavi,and their spider suit is based off the Irish Flag colors. It’s basic spidey design,but I might draw it the way I like it but for now this would be the launch/first suit version! Their name is Sean Conners,and their the one and only Spider-Man in their dimension. Their a year older than Spider Punk. He has autism, but that never stopped him from doing what he loves! Dimension 2001623 (2016 for short) is where he’s from. Similar to our dimension but only 7 years behind. Same stuff happened to his dimension that happened to ours. He was bitten by a radioactive spider,the spicies was a jumping spider after he fell into its cage on a field trip. He looks up to Peter as a cool uncle, mayday as an honorary god niece (let him have this he doesn’t see his niece) looks up to Jess as a second mother,and surprisingly he considers his boss,Miguel,as his friend (despite people telling him Miguel isn’t friendly but he doesn’t care and joins Peter and Mayday to bother him,And Miguel tolerates it because he knows what it’s like to be somewhere that makes you feel alone,he and the kid both have parents that make them miserable). He goes to Miles for art advice and loves to draw (he saw the train station Memorial Miles did and was awestruck),Gwen for venting,Hobie to get leather jackets, Pavi for some jokes and go on a swing,and Noir to play detective,Lyla for random questions,and they all agree that they make an honorary spider family for him. He does his best to try to save his friends and family from danger and they save him when he gets overwhelmed and in serious danger in return. His nicknames for them are as follows: Beeter (Peter B),Spider Ma (Jess),ButterfLyla( Lyla),Holmes(Noir),Spike (Hobbie),Cha-Chai(Pavi),Guin(Gwen),Flower(miles) and CatZilla(Miguel). Instead of New York,he protects New Jersey. After he lost his friend in an accident and his Pop Pop and grandmother to an illness,he vowed to protect people even from being sick!

Note: Longest post so far haha! Yeah my spidersona is a little self insert but that’s what sonas are! Now the pic is from a game that’s called “ Ultimate Spider-Man Sona Maker” or something like that and I don’t really recommend it (it’s cool but it always stops and plays ads and exits the game,hell the audio still played when I opened this and had to edit it and turn my phone off!)

I’ll draw my sona when I don’t have creative art block (and when I want to) in the future. Hope you enjoy the lore of my sona, and mabe he could meet your spider sonas mabe? Might make another post with the same pic and make a list of likes/dislikes ect! (Also if you read my bio in my header I have autism so I made him like me cause like I said self insert sorta!)

#into the spider verse #my sona #sona art #atsv #peter b parker #miguel o'hara #miles molares #atsv pavitr #hobbie brown #gwen stacy #lyla spiderverse #oc #spiderverse oc #spider oc

feels free to ask about any of these and I will share a snippet/info!!!

1. behold a man! extended universe - pjo. has my notes and snippets for the sequel(s) to "to bet on losing dogs". basically the aftermath of the Titans Win AU, where Percy is forced into becoming a god and the Seven meet under different circumstances. (Apollo and Rhea are also there)

2. spooder - TRC SpiderVerse fic where Jordan gets bitten by a radioactive spider and this shakes up the dynamics of the Hennessy girls

3. dreams etc - also TRC Jordan + Matthew centric post canon fic that has been KICKING my ASS. acc to my extensive, outlining it's supposed to be so long and I've got so little down on page. RIP

4. The Cult of Dionysus - Percy does community college. He gets roped into mindnumbingly stupid shenanigans by the most pretentious freaks (secretly a character study)

5. accessory to a crime - dumb dumb dumb TDT ensemble fic. What if the worst people in the world got stuck on a train in winter and a murder was committed. Among other things: reluctant Lynch brothers bonding, Hennessy girls committing history's lamest heist, disaster loser PI Farooq-Lane etc. I love it lots

MEET SAM EVANS !!

auditioning with the song: brutal, olivia rodrigo

And I'm so tired that I might, quit my job, start a new life. And they'd all be so disappointed, 'cause who am I, if not exploited?

BIOGRAPHY & HEADCANONS

wait, is that SAM EVANS? they kinda look a lot like NICHOLAS GALITZINE, don’t they? i heard the TWENTY ONE year old is known as THE CROWD PLEASER around mckinley. it seems like they auditioned to be in DULY NOTED which is so lame? people at campus have said they’re CHARMING, but don’t be fooled since they’re also -STUBBORN. rumor has it, you can find them at SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING PRACTICE, PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB, FIGHT CLUB, DIGITAL MEDIA CLUB OR AT A GOD SQUAD MEETING when they aren’t belting show tunes. their entire vibe revolves around RED SOLO CUPS AMONG FRIENDS, LONG NIGHTS IN TRUCK BEDS STARGAZING, DOLLA DOLLA BILLS Y'ALL but no one pays attention to that here in ohio.

LIST ABOUT 3+ HEADCANONS ABOUT YOUR CHOSEN CHARACTER!

Sam has a full ride scholarship thanks to synchronized swimming. So while he’s going to school because of that, Sam’s real passion is his impressions. He’s always wanted to be a voice actor and he actually does have a decent amount of followers on TikTok. Because they’re good or because he posts a lot of cosplay thirst traps is anyone’s guess.

He was pretty much homeless during his senior year of high school after his father lost his job. They lived out of motels and sometimes their car when they couldn’t afford a room. It took a while for them to get back on their feet, but Sam’s job at the local DQ strip club helped out a lot.

He’s very upfront on his TikTok about who he is and his past because it might help someone out there. Whether it’s about his dyslexia, stripping, sexuality (pansexual) or just about struggling with his faith, Sam likes to shine bright, but still keep it real.

Sam does a lot of volunteer work on his off time, he loves helping out at the local animal and homeless shelters.

He's not a stripper anymore, thanks to the world wide web, he has an OF that's actually pretty lucrative. He sends most of the money back home still to provide for his siblings, his parents still think he works at DQ.

MY PERSONALITY IS LIKE A RADIOACTIVE ASTEROID, SPEND TOO MUCH TIME WITH IT AND IT COULD KILL YOU.

BASICS OF SAM:

full name: samuel andrew evans. pronouns: he/him. gender: cismale. nicknames: sam, sammy, white chocolate, captain trouty, evans, trouty mouth. hometown: knoxville, tennessee. birthday (zodiac) & age: may 21st (GEMINI) / twenty-one years old. relationship status: single. sexuality: pansexual. religion: christian. occupation: student at mckinley arts college, "accountant". residence: small house off campus with roommates. sports/clubs: synchronized swimming, photography club, fight club, digital media club, and god squad. glee club: part of duly noted. languages: english, ASL, na'vi, very poor spanish. major: digital media. minor: visual communications.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE:

faceclaim: nicholas galitzine. height: 6'0". build: athletic. eyes: hazel. hair: blonde (natural, but he does a lot of upkeep because of the chlorine water). piercings: he has his nipples, tongue and ears pierced (just like one of his faves teddy altman, but this version) (sidenote: he takes them all out when he's in the pool). tattoos: ’You can’t take the sky from me.’ across his left forearm, he has 'i'm fine' on his right arm above his inner elbow, he's starting a sleeve of comic panels on his right that's a mix of all comics not just marvel & dc, he has a few manga panels on his left leg from various artists including jujutsu kaisen and attack on titan. (sidenote: sam uses the best waterproof tattoo concealer money can buy to keep them covered for competitions). other distinguishing features: birthmark above his upper right lip and on the right and left sides of his chin. style: sam has three looks: homeless man, 12 year old boy & a hooker.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

workout buddy: someone sam can spot for/spot for him at the gym, or even just watch his swim routines and critique.

fellow "accountant": either they can just know of each other and help each other out with tips and tricks of the trade or they can create content with each other.

BFFS/platonic soulmates: they know everything sam doesn't talk about on his social media and they get the real bts content of his life.

friends with benefits: this will probably be a dumpster fire of feels because sam absolutely will catch feelings for the other so to quote sam's audition song "i want it to be, like, messy".

study buddy or tutor: sam needs some extra help and needs someone to help study with or your character is tutoring him!

roommate: sam is a junior and lives off campus in a small house with two roommates !!

rival: either in fight club or maybe one of the other clubs, either way sam totally complains about you to his followers.

D&D: you're a part of sam's party, your characters are rivals, love interests, or friends.

I'm honestly down for any connections for my boy so you can absolute DM me on here or on discord !! LET'S PLOT !!

AND HERE'S MORE ON OUR FAVORITE CROWD PLEASURE THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO ADD ON THIS ALREADY LONG POST.

#wmacintro #ooc post.#bio.

The kind of Pokémon I think each Legion of Doom member (along with a few other enemies of the league) would have and why:

The Joker

Mr. Mime- If you’ve been on the Internet long enough, you would remember how the Joker would always get paired with Mr. Mime. This would be true for my version of the Joker’s team. Except there is one major difference: Joker’s Mr. Mime is a Meta-Pokémon (mentioned in previous post about the JL’s Pokémon teams). This Mr. Mime would be Poison/Fairy with the ability Intimidate. Why Intimidate? Its a creepy clown with a creepy smile.

Weezing- Another Meta-Pokémon Joker would have, this version of Weezing is constantly spraying an obnoxious gas that makes people constantly laugh. This is of course in reference to the Joker's toxic gas.

Gengar- Gengar has been noted to being incredibly sadistic from killing people just to make them ghosts like Gengar is. This reason is rooted in a deep loneliness Gengar has, which kind of makes him kind of pathetic. Similar with Joker, who is pathetic, no matter what retelling of his origin you here.

Remoraid- A reference to the Joker Fish, Meta-Remoraid is Water/Dark, sadistically firing water at enemies. Due to it becoming a Meta-Pokemon, it can no longer evolve

Toxicroak- Growing up with the Batman tv show, I am used to seeing the Joker as a capable fighter. Based on its dex entries saying that it sways and dodges attacks from opponents, it sounds fairly similar to the Joker's fighting method in the tv show.

Seviper- A Pokemon with an arch-rivalry with another, Seviper holds similar traits to the Joker.

Type overlap was bound to happen for the Joker's team. It's the Joker, poison is his thing. So, it had felt obvious to me to give him a bunch of poison types.

---

Lex Luthor

Silvally- A Pokémon developed to destroy aliens, hmmm, where have I heard that before in terms of DC Characters? But yeah, Silvally felt like an obvious choice for Lex because he totally would develop one to defeat Ultra Beasts and Superman.

Alakazam- Being a very smart man, Lex having an Alakazam would reflect his great intellect.

Porygon-Z- Another artificial pokemon made by mankind, this pokemon reflect's how even with advanced technology, there is some flaw in it that weakens Lex.

Volcarona- Being revered as a "sun deity" by ancient Unovans, this felt like a good Pokemon to be transformed into a meta-pokemon by lex. Now with the ability Red Sun, Lex's Volcarona weakens kryptonian meta-pokemon.

Kryptonian Minior (Green Core)- A radioactive green rock falls from the sky? Why that must be a meteor of kryptonite? Right? Nope! Regional variant of Minior thats Poison/Flying type.

Shiny Palafin- Being a pokemon inspired by Superman, Lex of course had to have a shiny Palafin to reflect how he created Bizarro.

If you couldn't tell already, Lex's team is inspired by the many ways he's tried to defeat Superman over the years. From the creation of a synthetic organism capable of fighting aliens to creating an evil doppelganger of his arch nemesis, these Pokemon all reflect Lex's schemes in some way.

---

Cheetah

Chien-Pao- In her New 52 origin, Barbara Minerva would stab herself in the name of her goddess to transform into the Cheetah according to the DC Wiki. She use the god-killer knife to do so, and while Chien-Pao is no Cheetah (A leopard actually) and has a sword and not a knife, there are slight parallels.

Runerigus- Barbara is an archaelogist.

Cofagrigus- Same reason as previous

Sneasler- Sneasler is a femine Pokemon that utilizes its sharp claws in both climbing and combat. Yes I could've used a different cat pokemon, but this one felt better as Sneasler is one of the many pokemon that was worshipped by the Peal Clan in ancient Sinnoh/Hisui.

Spiritomb- Again archaeology, but also a parallel to Cheetah's mystical acts of villainy.

Hydrapple- This pokemon was chosen out of Cheetah's love for Greek Mythology, and while Hydrapple is not the only Multi-headed dragon pokemon, it is the most similar to the Hydra.

If you couldn't tell, Cheetah's team is consistent of Pokemon relating to mythology and archaeology. I didn't want to give her just cat pokemon because that seems really reductive to her character. Yes, she was turned into a cat, but that doesn't mean she has to have a bunch of cat pokemon. Catwoman on the other hand would have a bunch of Cat pokemon.

---

Reverse Flash (Eobard Thawne)

Raichu- because of Raichu's problem of getting angry every time it build's up too much electricity, it reminds of a lot of Thawne's angry temperment and how he relieves it by doing petty things...its a bit of a stretch I know. Eobard's Raichu is a Meta-Pokemon connected to the Negative Speed Force. This gives it the ability Negative Pulse, the more damage this pokemon takes, the stronger their attacks become.

Midnight Lycanroc- Its a very angry dog that seems to have more personality than the Midday form. This pokemon is also connected to the Negative Speed Force and now has the ability Pettiness and the signature move Phase Claw. Pettiness activates whenever the enemy goes first or uses a priorty move to go first. The pokemon with the ability then hits the target with an attack boost. As for phase claw, the user's claws move so fast that they sink right into the target, landing a critical hit.

Blaziken- Bred with the ability Speed Boost, this is Eobard's reverse of Cinderace as this pokemon is also charged with Negative Speed Force energy to make it a Meta-Pokemon. The things changed is that Blaziken is now naturally faster than Cinderace.

Ceruldege- Now while an odd-choice to parallel Pawmot, Ceruledge's signature move saps energy from the target while Pawmot's S.M. can restore a Pokemon.

Obstagoon- Obstagoon is meant to reflect how much crueler Reverse Flash is to Barry as Obstagoon is very different compared to the other kinds of Linoone. It is also a Meta-Pokemon with negative speed force power. This gave it a higher speed stat and the ability Revolt, which causes damage to enemy targets who use physical moves on the pokemon.

Electrode- Its one of the fastest pokemon in the game currently. Electrode also has a connection to the Negative Speed Force giving it the Dark type.

Two big components to Eobard's Pokemon is that they're meant to be evil mirrors of Barry's pokemon from my previous post, and that they're all meant to be stronger than Barry's pokemon. All of Eobard's pokemon are either naturally better than Barry's or augmented to be better. Eobard has been shown to know more about the Speed Force than Barry does in the comics. From how to influence time to how to utilize phasing, Eobard knows a lot. Therefore, he would know how to influence his Pokemon's abilities once they were connected to the Negative Speed Force, paralleling his creation of the Acololytes of Zoom in the New 52.

---

Captain Cold

Glaceon- Before anyone asks, yes. Every member of the Rogues (the team) has an Eeveelution. Leonard Snart would of course have Glaceon in his team.

Mr. Rime- A major factor Captain Cold has to overcome when performing a Bank Heist is the Flash. So what does he do? Create a layer of ice for the Flash to slip over on. While no dex entries state that Mr. Rime can do this, its pre-evolution of Galarian Mr. Mime has dex entries stating it can.

Delibird- Little known fact about the Rogues is that they're not all-inherently evil. Yes they commit crimes, but its for the money. They don't kill cops, women, or children. So having Delibird is a reflection of that.

Galarian Slowbro- Back during the New 52, Captain Cold fused himself with the powers of his cold gun. A Meta Galarian Slowbro is similar to Cold's transformation as it isn't just a Slowbro now, but a Slowbro with the abilities of a Shellder. Now a Ice/Psychic type, Snart's Slowbro is now capable of freezing enemies with chilling blasts.

Octillery- During the Rebirth era of DC Comics, the Flash went up against Captain cold who had obtained an improved Cold Gun modified by Black Hole's stolen speed force tech. Meta-Octillery reflects this by being a Ice/Electric Type and having the ability to freeze everything with its new attack Octobeam, an ice move which has the ability to freeze targets entirely.

Blastoise- Not only a reference to his cold-gun, but a reference to his current state in the comics. Snart was given cybernetic enhancements to fight Barry Allen with. Before anyone wonders, no, this is not a meta-pokemon, its just a regular blastoise.

Snart was initially just going to have a bunch of Ice-types with no thought added to them. Then I came to realize that the character deserves much more justice than that. He is a strategist, a bad man with a good heart, and a fighter.

---

Sinestro

Darkrai- Being that this mythical pokemon causes nightmares, Sinestro having a Darkrai is an easy to answer question.

Mimikyu- Given that this pokemon's appearance can cause death upon seeing it, I wouldn't be surprised if Sinestro used this pokemon's ability to his advantage.

Blacephalon- This Ultra Beast is said to sneak up on people and then violently explode to startle them. As it craves on fear, it feels like a good pokemon for Sinestro to have.

Shiny Naganadel- This pokemon both reflects Sinestro's color scheme, but also provides a sadistic way to scare enemies.

Gallade- A meta-variant of the pokemon, this pokemon is meant to reflect how Sinestro was once noble and one of the greatest green lanterns of all time. Meta-Gallade keeps the same typing but it instead preys on the target's fear. Its new ability "Terrorize" reflects this by having opponents drastically lower their attack when Gallade enters battle.

Due to my lack of knowledge on the character, I didn't give him a full team. I did try to find a pokemon who would fit his time as an ultra-violet lantern, but none felt right.

---

Black Manta

Sharpedo- This felt like an obvious choice considering that this pokemon is regarded as the Bully of the Sea and Black Manta is...something else, I'll tell you what.

Basculegion- This Pokémon is known to have evolved because of its fallen comrades. Black Manta’s origin involves him trying to avenge his father’s death. Now while this is very different from Basculegion’s reason for evolving, it isn’t that different.

Intelleon- Considering that Black Manta is a highly-weaponized killer with many gadgets, Intelleon felt like a good match for him.

Cradily- At first this may seem like an odd choice until you consider that Black Manta has a slight degree of knowledge on Atlantean Archaelogy. Cradily reflects this as while it is a product of paleontology, it is still an aquatic species. Its adjacent to Atlantean Archaelogy, meaning this is a stretch of a choice.

Kilowattrel- According to Lockstin & Gnoggin's video about this pokemon, Kilowattrel is based on pirates, and what is Black Manta? A pirate with a goofy helmet.

Genesect- In terms of desing, Genesect looks like a purple Black Manta with a giant laser canon on its back.

Black Manta's pokemon weren't that difficult to come up with. I didn't want to give him too many water types, but since there are a few pokemon that aren't water-type but water-adjacent, I thought, why not?

---

Non-League Villains:

Darkseid

Scizor- Compared to what's to come, Scizor feels like an out of place choice until you consider Parademons. Parademons are seen as Darkseid's minions, and they do share a small resemblance to Scizor...ignoring that its red and is more bug like. Darkseid's Scizor is a Meta-Pokemon with the ability Army's Strength which increases the user's attack and defense the more pokemon are on your team.

Tyranitar- Being based on Godzilla, Tyranitar's lore states that it has destructive power capable of destroying mountains and flattening mountains. In a few depictions, Darkseid is a force to be reckoned with, demolishing anything to get what he wants.

Malamar- Darkseid's biggest goal that he has often achieved is to obtain the Anti-Life equation. In short, the equation acts as a sort of mind control that extends Darkseid's presence onto others. Malamar is known for mind control, but I would assume Darkseid would want to take a step further on that. So his Malamar is also a Meta-Pokemon with the ability "Anti-Life" an ability that inflicts confusion to any surrounding pokemon once this pokemon enters the battle.

Origine Giratina- While in no way are Giratina and Darkseid similar in origin, they are similar in Power. New Gods affect reality on a grand scale. Final Crisis shows how a New God like Darkseid falling on the multiverse can lead to devastating things. Giratina is the one responsible for the Space-Time Rift over Hisui in Pokemon Legends Arceus. I assume Darkseid would of course want to take advantage of this power.

Dawn Wings Necrozma- While Lunala itself would have been a good way to represent Darkseid's ability to create Boom Tubes, Dawn Wings Necrozma felt like the better option to me for the fact it seizes power over Lunala. Necrozma also connects with my previous statement about Darkseid being a cosmic being.

Primal Groudon- This is an obvious choice but to add context, Primal Groudon has the Omega Symbol on its hands. That and it is volcanic pokemon with tremendous power. It is also one of the strongest pokemon in Gen 7 with a high base-stat total.

Darkseid's pokemon were mostly easy to come up with. Given his status as a New God, giving him several Legendary pokemon didn't feel wrong to me.

---

Mongul

Gloom- A reference to the black mercy, Mongul's Gloom is a meta-pokemon with the ability Fantasize where enemy pokemon have their health sapped away while getting an increase in their strongest stats.

Ceruledge

Armarouge

Gallade

Kommo-o

Iron Valiant- My first comic introduction to the character was in Dark Nights: Metal. In the first issue, the Justice League fight against creations of Toyman commissioned by Mongul. This is a reference to that.

I didn't give descriptions to Ceruledge, Armarouge, Gallade, and Kommo-o, as they're all mostly self-explanatory: They're fighters that Mongul would put in a gladiator arena.

---

Vandal Savage

Slowking- Being as old as he is, Vandal has witnessed many things and influenced many historical events. Slowking reflects this through its own wisdom.

Ursaluna- Since Vandal has been in many areas, him obtaining pokemon that are supposed to be extinct is of no surprise. Ursaluna would be one of them.

Kabutops- Although rare, Kabuto is still not extinct. Vandal obtaining one would no surprise me.

Noivern- This choice is a nod to how after Final Crisis, Vandal fought Batman who had been sent back in time.

Absol- Initially this choice would seem odd until you realize that having a pokemon with foresight is a good idea for an immortal like Vandal.

Mega Lucario- Three of the aliases Vandal has taken up was Alexander the Great, Khufu, and Khafre. With these numerous ties to Egypt, giving Vandal a Lucario makes sense, especially if it were a mega lucario as he would have been alive around that time mega-evolution happened.

I had thought about giving Vandal a Meta-Pokemon to stay in theme with the other pokemon, but I like the idea of him having to capture new pokemon as time goes on as death touches everything mortal.

---

Starro the Conqueror

Starmie

Yes, Starro would have an army of Starmie.

---

Anti-Monitor

Regieleki- Regieleki by itself represents the electric age and can produce tremendous amounts of power. Anti-Monitor's Meta-Regieleki is capable of doing the same, but this time with Anti-Matter. This is reflected in its new ability Anti-Particle where type match-ups are swapped for the pokemon with this ability. The Special Attack of this pokemon has also been swapped with its Speed stat.

Regidrago- Regidrago represents the Medieval age and is believed to have the powers of every dragon pokemon. Anti-Monitor's Meta-Regidrago also has this ability, but its connection to Giratina is enhanced. Its new ability Shadowy Maw enhances both Dragon and Ghost type attacks. Regidrago however is still pure dragon.

Regirock- Regirock represents the stone age and is made purely out of rock. Anti-Monitor's Regirock is very different from this as it is now a Ground type due to its composition. It's defense stat has swapped places with its Attack stat. Its new ability Refract warps any stat changes to do the opposite effect.

Regice- Regice represents the ice age and is made purely out of ice. Anti-Monitor's Regice is the opposite, becoming a Water type due to its composition being different. It also has the refract ability

Registeel- Registeel represents the industrial revolution and is made of an unidentified metal. Anti-Monitor's Registeel is the opposite as it is now a Fire type due to its composition. Its defense and sp. defense have swapped places with its Attack and Sp. Attack.

Regigigas- Regigigas is the creator of the five different Regis. Ant-Monitor's Meta-Regigigas did the same, but since it too is composed of anti-monitor, it is very different from Regigigas. Now a pure Ghost type, Meta-Regigas's attack stat has swapped with its sp. attack stat. Its new ability, Slow Build, its special attack and speed stat are halved for five turns.

The choice to give the Anti-Monitor the six Regis was an idea I made out of the idea that the Anti-Monitor's goal was to create its own anti-matter universe. So, each Pokemon is both representative of its power and destructive ability. I originally planned on giving him Meta-versions of Marshadow, Gardevoir, and Gigantamax Duraludon to represent the Shadow Demons, Harbinger and Pariah, as well as the anti-monitor's tower things.

---

This took forever and I am so glad I've gotten it done. The Bat family will be next followed up by the Teen Titans and then Suicide Squad. Might do the Spider-Man variants after that.

whenever i get in my own head about this whole, like, "why don't people extend care to me" thing i constantly think about this conversation i had with the person who is closest to me in life. we were just talking about a future life together. she was like. youll be home sick and i'll leave you in your little room to fester alone. and i stopped her like. do you think there's ever a chance or a circumstance you wouldn't leave me alone? like you'd spend time with me?

she was like. do you want me there? and i said. of course? it's my greatest fantasy? to be vulnerable, ugly, unwell and with nothing to offer, and to have someone i love sit beside me and hold my hand. and she said, have you wanted that this whole time? i said of course. i just assumed you didn't want to be around me because your immune system sucks shit. she said i don't really care about that. i just thought you wanted to be left alone.

i just sat there with that thought. perplexed.

why?

why. that why haunts me. the answer i did not get haunts me. why i said.

i write. writers self-insert. it's what we do. lots of us write what we know, but oft forgot are the ones who write what we dont. we write what we yearn for. we write ourselves into these dream scenarios, these fantasies we can only hope to some day live out.

119 works on my ao3 to date. 80 of them are sickfic. in total, 488,162 words. all of that is sickfic. all of that is poeticism about the human condition, the thing i personally believe we were put on earth to do--to take care of one another. for no gain, for no reason, for no real end other than it's what we're meant for.

authors self-insert, but i am fictionkin, so it's a little easier.

80 sickfics. 53 of them featuring my own "self-inserts" down for the count, being held and cared for and doted upon and loved.

bleeding these cries for help onto a mint green word doc. love me, love me, love me, i scream. until my throat is raw and my fingers shake. love me, love me, please god, love me. what do i have to do to make you love me?

i post them. love me, cry my words. love me, beg my notes.

and people are generous, so comments flood in. and all of them, of course, ring true--thank goodness blorbo is loved. thank goodness blorbo is getting the rest, the care, the comfort they deserve.

it's bittersweet.

because they love you. but only when it is not recognizably you.

53 stories, begging.

if i was sick with something unremarkable, i sit there in my empty apartment, waterlogged. it would be very nice. for someone kind to give me a hug, and ask me how i feel.

53.

if i were sick with something unremarkable, i asked, in our silly little domestic future... what would you do?

leave you alone, of course. obviously, you wouldn't want to be bothered. i'd make the bedroom all cozy for you, leave you to your own devices to hopefully feel better soon.

leave you alone.

obviously.

obviously?

obviously.

53 stories. begging.

why?

what?

why? given everything you know about me, why is that the conclusion you came to?

tell me. please, god, tell me.

tell me what's wrong with me.

tell me why i'm so repulsive.

tell me why i'm so unapporachable.

tell me why i'm so scary, so unlovable, so radioactive.

tell me why no one wants to care for me.

tell me why i can write 80 sickfics, over 400 thousand words, 53 self inserts, where the crux of the matter is me screaming PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LOVE ME PLEASE WORRY ABOUT ME PLEASE CHECK IN ON ME PLEASE JUST CARE CARE CARE IM BEGGING YOU TO CARE I'M BEGGING YOU TO SHOW ME YOU CARE IN ANY WAY ANY ESTURE ANYTHING ANYTHING ANYTHING IM BEGGING--

whats wrong with me?

am i not loud enough?

not clear enough?

not blunt enough?

tell me what's wrong. tell me so i can cut it out of my chest and leave it bleeding and dead on the pavement. tell me. tell me. please, fuck, tell me, i don't want it, i want everything but.

why, i asked her.

there were no words.

i spent my holiday sick.

[there were no words.]

#wordy wendy #this is not a vagueblog. this is not meant to hurt.#this is about me.#there is something inherently unlovable about me.#there is something wrong with me.#ive spent all year so desperate to learn #im no closer to the truth #im not scared of it #im not scared to learn it #but no attempts to unearth it see results #i wish more people hatefollowed me #i bet they'd tell me.#i wish anyone would tell me

Fuck it, posting this here too. Crossover brain go brrrrrr.

Yes, my brain is currently fixating on both Warframe and Kenopsia/Forever Ocean lore, and that's manifesting as "What Sembla would each Warframe have?" (and possibly what would each frame look like as a Kwaiz/Vani ajsdgajsdk I have no clue how I'd incorperate things like Parazons n shit with that lmao).

So, yeah, Warframes placed on @kenopsia-official's Sembla wheel. (taken from this post)

Note from me: I don't really know much about the sembla outside of what Juno's mentioned on the Tumblr Sembla breakdown and what I've seen mentioned on Kenopsia-asks and Juno's Toyhou.se. I'm not in the official Discord or anything, so if anything is off from info derived from the Discord, let me know!

This thing is honestly still a huge WIP, what with all of the frames that are still in the "????" category in the middle lmao. A lot of these frame/sembla pairings are being a pain in the ass, a lot of frames don't really fit neatly into any single sembla and have intricacies that can fit in multiple or no sembla. Honestly, if anyone has any ideas, that'd be great lmao.

As for the wheel: Frames inside the Sembla section are the "Primary" user, while heads outside of it are considered "Secondary" users (what with how many frames overlap in the "element" department).

This is already getting really long, so the rest of this (specific selections + reasoning, going over the ???? squad thoughts, etc.) will be under a cut.

Going through the wheel, elaborating on decided pairings, from Hex going clockwise.

HEX - N/A

FIRE - Primary Ember, Secondary Nezha. Basically exactly what it says on the tin, they both specialize primarily in burning shit.

ALARM - N/A

FLESH - Primary Lavos, Secondary Garuda. I put Lavos here because of the fact that his Orokin-granted ability in his Leverian is power over flesh (Maybe his Kwaiz-version would have a specialized Amplifier that mimics specialized organs to still fit with his "element-mixing alchemist" thing?). Garuda's there because she's basically just all "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD" (her talons could probably be considered Switchlimbs? Maybe???).

VISCOUS - N/A

WAX - N/A

ROCK - Atlas. Another "exactly what it says on the tin" situation. Punchy with rocks, rock armor, etc.

DUST - Inaros. Because POCKET SAND.

METAL - N/A

THREAD - Khora. Weirdo barbed-wire whip-ensnare-dome dominatrix lady. Early info points out that she was originally supposed to be spider-themed, further fitting with Thread.

ELECTRICITY - Primary Volt, Secondary Gyre. More "exactly what it says on the tin" stuff. Just look at 'em.

FORCE - Mag. She's supposed to be magnets, but she can yoink basically about anything, and "magnetizing the bones of your enemies" makes no damn sense for just metal, so telekinesis it is.

PLANT - N/A

SLIME - N/A

WONDER - N/A

CORROSION - N/A

RADIOACTIVE - N/A

PLASMA - Wisp. It may be a bit of an odd pairing, but she's based off of will-o'-the-wisps (which have had theorizing over their origin from crude flames, electricity, swamp gasses becoming luminous plasma, etc.) and her fourth ability is her opening a portal to the surface of the sun to rain forth a beam of solar plasma, so I think Plasma fits most cleanly for now. She's honestly stuck in a limbo between being Plasma or Plume lmao.

SALT - N/A

COLD - Frost. Another "Captain Obvious" pick. Just look at his abilities lmao.

WATER - Primary Hydroid, Secondary Yareli. Both "Captain Obvious" picks. Hydroid's a yarr harr pirate that can turn into water, call down water, and has a KRAKEN. Yareli's a cute seaworld totsugeki surfboarding magical girl that can summon bubbles, water blades, and a whirlpool.

GRAVITY - Rhino. His abilities are all over the place, but I put him here because of his fourth ability, which states: "Rhino stomps with force sufficient to disrupt time, tumbling enemies around him in stasis.". Distorting space to distort time, you say?

SILICON - N/A

PLUME - Ash. Smoke bombs, that weird smoke vent billowing from his left arm... That's about the only reason I put him here. Weeb.

CRYSTAL - Citrine. Gemussy. To be serious, just look at her and her kit. All crystals, all the time.

INK - N/A

SPIRIT - Nekros. He's also a bit finicky like Wisp. I put him here because he has technical "literal" soul manipulation, and I noticed that there's a lot of language about manipulating fear in Juno's description of the sembla, which fits with Terrify.

TOXIN - N/A

FUNGUS - Saryn. She could honestly have fallen under Corrosion or Toxin as well, but Fungus has enough variety to cover both while also fitting with the language around Saryn's abilities involving "spores".

GLASS - Gara. Duh, glass lady. The "messing with perception" bit also fits for Spectrorage.

SUGAR - N/A

MUSIC - Octavia. Duh, the Maestro, the Pied Piper of Doom. Buffing, debuffing, luring enemies to their doom, fits her like a glove.

DREAM - N/A

LIGHT - Mirage. Similarly to Nekros and Wisp, I wasn't really sure where to put her. Her illusions could also fall under Spirit, but I decided to put her under Light because of Eclipse (which gives her various buffs depending on if she's in the light or in the dark) and Prism (exploding laser disco ball of doom).

WIND - Zephyr. Wind bird lady. Flying around, redirecting enemy fire with a shield of swirling air, it fits.

PLASTIC - N/A

VOID - N/A

DISEASE - Nidus. Literally a walking manifestation of a disease (in WF's case, the Infestation), throwing around weirdo worms and maggots, while also being able to parasitize enemies and be symbiotic with allies. Can't get much more

SHADOW - N/A

(UNKNOWN) - N/A

----

The ???? Squad™

Excalibur - I have no clue what sembla he'd fall under lmao. His "thing" is swords and blades, not much else. He could be Light because of Radial Blind, but that's one minor ability out of four, two of which tend to overshadow it... idk lmao.

Equinox - No clue here either lmao. She has A Lot going on, to say the least, none of which really fits cleanly into one sembla.

Gauss - Funny speed man. He specializes in kinetic force, energy storage, friction, etc., not telekinesis. He can both light shit on fire and freeze things solid. Another messy one.

Harrow - Weirdo glock-wielding, self-flagellating, crit-buffing Void priest. No clue here either lmao.

Vauban - Balls™. No clue what to do with him.

Xaku - Resident bone-zone Void weirdo. No clue what to do with them.

Banshee - Her abilities are a weird mixture of noise, debuffing with sonar, and silencing the aforementioned noise. Her passive is that all her weapons are silenced. There really isn't a sembla based around silencing noise. Feels like a toss-up between Alarm and Void.

Baruuk - Putting enemies to sleep, disarming enemies with his own summoned projectiles, avoiding projectiles when not attacking, going ham with projectiles from his melee attacks. Not sure where to put him.

Caliban - He's a fucking weirdo in-universe, I have no clue what sembla to give him lmao.

Chroma - Dragon hunter given power by his hunted pelt. He's all over the place, his gimmick is that he can cycle between Heat (Fire), Cold, Toxin, and Electricity, so he doesn't really fit neatly in a single sembla.

Grendel - He's the food/eating guy who can give team buffs. Feels like a toss-up between Salt and Sugar.

Hildryn - Flying buff shield lady. Shield in the Keno-verse are probably a whole other can of worms, especially considering that Shields are her whole gimmick. Might be Silicon territory, who fucken knows, people in-universe barely understand it lmao.

Ivara - Stealthy invisible huntress. Invisibility falls under Ink, but I'm not sure how to account for her various arrows (zip-wire, noise, cloak, sleep).

Kullervo - The all cannon, no glass overguard guy. I have no clue what sembla he'd have lmao. He's another one of the weirdos along with Caliban. The Void + Keno-verse is another can of worms like Shields lmao.

Limbo - I tip my hat to you, my old friend, you've confounded me as to what sembla to give you. His whole thing is slipping into (or sending others to) a different dimension, somewhere under the skin of reality between it and the Void, or ripping a hole in reality to it. No clue.

Loki - Another invisibility guy. Could be ink, but not sure about Switch Teleport or Radial Disarm.

Mesa - Yeehaw cowgirl. No damn clue what to give her lmao. Her thing is Gun™, a reflect barrier, and a weirdo enemy-gun-jamming beacon thing that moves between teammates. That gun-jamming ability could fall under Wonder, but that wouldn't fit with her other abilities.

Nova - Antimatter lady. No clue, there's no sembla that manipulates antimatter or sounds much like any of her abilities unless I decide to just cram her under Plasma.

Nyx - Mind control, mass hysteria, temporary defense-strip, making herself the main target. She's... strange. A toss-up between Ink and Spirit.

Oberon - Deer-goat paladin. Lots of radiation, the lawn of team-buffing doom, team-heals, and slamming enemies around. Could fall under Plant (Hallowed Ground) or Radiation (Smite, Reckoning, Hallowed Ground again).

Protea - Hacky sack tinkerer time-reversal lady. Big ability weirdo. Shields, throwing around blades and hot plasma, sustain with energy/health/ammo dispensary, and then the weirdo timey wimey reverse stuff. No damn clue lmao.

Revenant - Mr. Vampire Eidolon dude is a thematic mess lmao. He's got mind control, weirdo "Sentient" energy, and lots of funny laser beams. No clue what he'd have as a sembla lmao. A fellow weirdo along with Caliban and Kullervo.

Sevagoth - The JJBA Stand user space Flying Dutchman rescue guy. As he sows, so does he reap, cloaking himself in something... outside of darkness. Life drain, enemy slow and damage taken increase, whatever the hell the Exalted Shadow is. Not really sure what sembla to give him. "Shadow" seems too literal for what he does...

Styanax - THIS. IS. (NOT) ASS SPARTA /j. Succ spears, enemy defense strip, team buffs, becoming the center of attention, a Rain of Hell. Not sure what sembla to give him.

Titania - Tinker Bell's packing heat. Make enemies fumble weapons while allies become status-immune, "extract" a buff from an enemy, turn an enemy into a beacon of doom, and then Tinker Hell™. A bit all-over-the-place. Maybe Wonder due to her fairy/fae-themeing? She doesn't really fit anywhere, but Wonder is extremely weird.

Trinity - Basic healer. Make an enemy a healing well, make an enemy an energy well, split any damage taken between enemies she links to, and a big fuck-off uber-heal. She's a general healer... but that could fall under both Flesh and Silicon, so no clue.

Valkyr - Angry skinless cat lady. Spiderman meme silly string, team melee attack speed buff, radial stun by expending her own shields, and Rip and Tear Mode. Outside of Warcry (the melee buff), she doesn't really do sound-based abilities. It could fall under Alarm, but that isn't her main theme, her main theme is rage, which isn't necessarily the same as Alarm. Brayziel's a ball of anger because she has Alarm ESP that's driving her insane, but I don't recall that being a native quality of Alarm-users in general.

Voruna - Wolfpack mom. Unlike with Lavos, looking at her Leverian lore didn't help much. She can go invisible, slap All of the Elements on enemies, force the drop of health and energy orbs, and generally likes ripping and tearing, not even getting into her variable passives like cheating death. She's all over the place and doesn't really fit cleanly into one sembla.

Wukong - MONKEY FUCK (Affectionate). Celestial Twin, turning into a cloud, returning enemy damage, and Big Stick™. Not even getting into his Passive. He could be anything from Plume to Wonder to Hex. No clue.

#Warframe #Kenopsia #the forever ocean #Vanishing World #Vaniwo #long post #crossover #cross over #The 'tism won. This took me 800 years to type out. Send help. If I forgot any information please tell me lmao #Hypnofantasma

Happy Birthday!! 🎉🎉 - First of all I want to say how happy I am having found your blog relatively recently 😊 I really enjoy your style and look forward to your work every day. Be it in a post, or in the tags. I also want to thank you for being so supportive of mine! So, thanks! 💙 I hope you'll have a wonderful birthday.

1) truth: when I read your words about MCU it immediately had me thinking about its signal function in a broader social context, so what are your insights on that?

2) dare: I woke up one night and wrote this half sleeping, haven't used it yet, so this is a prompt: "Rhythm. Everything in existence logic pattern path of least resistance repetitive. Human = chaos. Repetition is boredom. The rhythm the pulse is distorted. Life! Life is chaos. The rest geometry."

3) we'll skip three 😋

4) I'd love a prompt!

5) and a flower, of course!

But because it's your birthday, I have a flower for you as well 😊 - enjoy your day!! 🎉

Hello and thank you for such a nice message - I thought about ways and words to convey how happy I am to have you enjoy my posts because I sure do enjoy yours, but got nowhere beyond a simple thank you. Rest assured I'll definitely keep on supporting your work as there is something enchanting in the way you write that got me transfixed - maybe it is the perspective from which you see things, maybe it is the way you use words to compose what reads like a piece of music, maybe it's everything at once or nothing at all - I can't quite name one specific aspect that makes it so alluring and beautiful, alloting your poems into my personal "resplendence" category along with nice landscape views, stained glass, flowers and 19th century piano compositions. I find myself gravitating to your words over and over again, and I sure am grateful for the serendipity that allowed me to find your blog. So, thank YOU!💙

And now that I had my fan-girl moment (please don't be scared, it's just me riding out the thrill of someone whose work I admire saying they enjoy my work too 😁), let's get onto the asks. I'm going to leave it under "read more."

(note: I think I'm going to scream, no wait, I'm already screaming - I wrote an approx. 5000 characters essay about MCU and tumblr glitched, leaving me with absolutely nothing. Yeah, I know, it was stupid of me not to save the draft after I finished or write it in an actual text editor, alas, here we are. Lessons learned. So just you know why I am answering so late. And why it is brief.)

1 - Ah, the MCU. First of all, the idea of kalokagathos is, unlike God, very much alive in the western society of today. As much as people enjoy heroic stories, they want to see beautiful people in tight costumes even more (when did we as a civilisation decide it is better to cover the body in neoprene rather than observe it nude? It would make more sense to wear a mask and some kind of briefs but nothing else given the unshakeable uniformity of the hero body shape.) The need for perfection is so great we are allowing Marvel heroes to be void of anything resembling a real human personality. This is nicely illustrated in Endgame, where Thor's depression is something we are supposed to laugh at. He is no longer perfect, and we are allowed to laugh at him displaying emotions and putting on some weight, and I hate this with a burning passion. Instead of giving the audience the story of Thor overcoming what more than fifty per cent of all people worldwide suffer from with help of friends and making positive changes, he is a laughing stock. And then there is the problem with heroes coming to existence through a quick process, usually some kind of exposure to radioactivity or a different substance that "mutates their DNA" (which in itself is laughable, but let's leave that aside for today.) There is no instance of people working hard to become strong, they simply get bitten by a rabid spider and get their code changed to wake up as a beefcake in the morning. I think this is a very common symptom of our western lifestyles where fast is not fast enough anymore.

Second of all, the films are void of any profound message because everything else is oversaturated with deep messages. The target group (which is huge judging by the money Disney makes off Marvel) wants to leave their dystopian lives outside the theatre, and watch morally flat characters fight other morally flat characters. We want to engage in an escapist fever dream full of stunning visual effects simply because it is better than anything we could do for those two hours.

Another reason for so many people to love it might be their feeling of having no power over their lives whatsoever. The idea of a hero coming and saving them, however improbable and illogical it is, might bring a certain level of comfort. Films such as MCU ones know this very well and are used as a tool to steer the masses where the government wants them. That is why heroes need to fight aliens to protect the earth - Hollywood past 9/11 is nothing but a tool for pro-war propaganda, and when we look at the parallel of good heroes fighting bad aliens, we don't have to look anymore.

Now, I also want to mention comedic interjections in MCU movies. Watching a film is not unlike travelling by submarine. Where captains like Bergmann immediately drop into the depths of the Marinara trench and stay there for as long as possible, Marvel regularly resurfaces to keep people alert and ready for another part. The comedic break not only serves as a way to divide the story into more digestible chunks, but it is also an attempt to make heroes more human-like and overtakes the comedy market. I have already mentioned that 9/11 has steered Hollywood into propaganda and as such, the comedy genre took a blow. But then, in 2008, Marvel came and gave people something they can laugh about, and voila, people wanted to see more of the silly jokes.

To conclude, the popularity of the MCU stems from the disillusion a large number of people are going through in relation to the dystopian nightmare they live in. All they seek is a visually appealing epic with likeable characters that would allow them not to think about the real world for a moment.

2 - I'm going to post the prompt as a separate post :)

3 - oh thank you :D it wasn't the best idea to list this so I'm happy you left it out

4 - and I am more than happy to provide: being a sanded down shard of glass is not the end of my journey, it is merely a beginning. Where others see nothing but void I walk with a prism in my eye and birdsong in my heart.

5 - thank you so much for the flower, it's so beautiful!!! I love that it looks like a little star - and maybe it really is a star that fell from the night sky for you to find it. By the way, is that your hand in the background holding it upwards? That's so very sweet of you - you managed to position it right in the middle of the picture, so it looks very aesthetically pleasing - thank you so much 💛

I thought about what flower to give you, and picked out three:

this rose because you seem to like yellow flowers. Also, their scent is amazing and maybe the sweet fragrance would be nice and soothing to fall asleep to.

Another flower would be this beautiful peony - and as a fellow bee enthusiast, I thought you would like to see these two ladies grinding hard to get that pollen.

and the last flower I wanted to give you was these chives flowers, simply because they are a lovely shade of lilac and look like fluffy pop candy, but my cat had a different idea and didn't quite approve of me taking pictures in his garden :) so here's the little fiend instead.

thank you again for the birthday wishes - they made me very happy 🤗 and before posting, here are the encouraging words I promised: your sense of humour is amazing! I haven't stopped laughing about Nostramarkus ever since you posted about him - and what I wanted to emphasize is, even if it doesn't feel like it, you are making difference, even if it is only as simple as brightening up someone's day. So keep pushing forward, it's worth it!

My Top Posts in 2022:

Shiro: why are there rumours that we’re both in a romantic relationship? Lance: *laying in Shiro’s lap letting him play with his hair* Lance: i have no idea.

Shiro would be more suspicious but he likes playing with Lance's hair too much to self-examine

Why would AFO's bird be a vulture? Obviously he's a goose.

I enjoy the comedy of visually his bird looks like a Chuck Jones vulture, but also the chaos of him being a goose is...

I'm gonna have to field this one to @gentrychild

Lance fell first but Shiro fell harder

Lance: *fell first, but in a gentle way that allows him to not come off as a simp*

Shiro: *fell slower, but is a simp*

Love that toh never tries to explain whatever the fuck is going on with Hooty, like everything we get to know just raises more questions. Eda just created him. He can swallow people whole and regurgitate them, he can skin himself and puts his skin like clothes to dry, he can get out of the house and the whole thing is horrifying and leaves behind still beating organs, he has several shark like teeth through out his throat. Is any of this explained? No n i love it, i hope he keeps getting worse❤

absolutely nothing about Hooty is explained and nothing about him should be explained

My #1 post of 2022

Trying to figure out how to really explain it but god it’s so pathetic that it’s almost hilarious how hard the mcu is trying to make holland spidey into actual spidey when like. green goblin is just some homeless dude

they brought willem dafoe’s green goblin, his rich ceo of a huge science corporation, into the mcu and had him actually state that his company and the Osborne name just did not exist in the mcu. literally, he went looking for his company and found nothing, he went looking for his son and found nothing (he would’ve joined forces with his mcu counterpart if they existed but they canonically just Do Not Exist At All)

and this is meant to be The Big Villain of the movie! Peter Parker’s most famous foe and the mcu just could not make him into a rich ceo and like. Norman Osborne is Just Some Dude in the mcu. the one single villain that literally could not be reworked into “seems like they should be the villain of an iron man movie but go off I guess” and he’s Just Some Random Dude to Holland’s spidey and not the father of his very best friend or the ceo behind the company whose radioactive spider gave him spider powers

like, I know that Willem Dafoe is gonna knock his performance out the park when I finally watch the movie but goddamn this is so fucking pathetic that the mcu, that Mouse Corp, is so against having a villain be a rich dude that they obliterated one of marvel’s most iconic villains

and they want to take on Dr Victor Von Doom, who I’m gonna call will end up being some angry intern with vague beef that he got overlooked by Dr Reed Richards and make some weird iron man-like suit to make him on equal standing instead of the monarch of a country
