It was a normal day for the Justice League, nothing special had happened, but Batman seemed to have a bad feeling. So when the alarm went off, he was prepared for almost anything.
Unfortunately, not much can prepare you for a 10-foot ice-covered, invincible Eldritch in the middle of Gotham. As much as the League tried, they didn't seem to do any damage to it (Jason was the first to notice that the creature wasn't attacking, just defending itself; he frowned at the observation).
From there, many strange things began to happen. First: A group of people dressed in white (which, frankly, they had never seen before in their lives) fanned out around the League, giving them weapons capable of harming the "creature" and pointing out to them that it was a "ghost", giving information about it.
Second, a pair of colorful scientists stood at the center of all the agents in white, though they seemed to be arguing with each other. One looked murderous, while the other looked... tired, almost guilty.
Third and last, a group of students kept trying to get closer. Jason thought they were suicidal until he heard the girl in purple tell them to leave "Danny" alone. She seemed to be silenced quickly, but the detail stuck in his head.
With a bad feeling, Jason turned to the college kids. A red-haired girl stood in the center of them, holding a chunk of ice? and watching the creature at the center of it all. While the League dealt with the agents in white, Jason decided to listen to them.
"He's my brother," the redhead said as soon as she saw him, "he's not a monster, they broke his core, please, you need to understand"
Jason looked at the creature again, although its body was mostly black, he could see ice covering a crystal in the center, it looked broken, he suspected that was his "core". At the same moment, Bruce finished talking to the men in white and accepted the weapons.
Danny was frightened and panicked. His form changed when his core broke in the middle of a fight, the GIW had shot him, and he didn't know how to retreat to his original form. His words came out only in Ghost speak, and the heroes around him looked ready to kill him, which didn't help his ice control.
"Because of their poor tolerance for low temperatures, lumians have developed glacieration, commonly known as frost mode. (...) The body freezes over as it switches its priority from mantaining heat to creating adrenaline in the hopes of the individual being able to use said energy to ensure their safety. However, prolonged streams of adrenaline like this are poisonous, and if frost mode is not disengaged it results in death."

So the ring of rage and the crown of fire are sentient
In the episode “Reign Storm” Skulker gives us information on Pariah Dark
Notice the wording
“Control the entities contained within the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage”
There is something contained within them, not just a power boost, but in controlling the beings within the crown and ring Pariah gains power
So this implies the crown and ring each have a will of their own, some kind of consciousness. They are sentient (though perhaps not sapient)
So whatever happened to them?
Well, if we recall the end of Reign Storm, Pariah got locked away with just the ring, and Vlad flew off with the crown of Fire
So we have a corrupt Billionaire with many shady business dealings, with a sentient artifact in his possession that probably isn’t very happy about that fact, especially as Vlad attempts to control the crown
Enter one detective John Jones aka Martian Manhunter aka a gosh darn telepath
Now, there are probably legitimate reasons the police might investigate Vlad, but J’onn is probably going to get sidetracked when his mind connects to an ancient sentient artifact that’s very upset
*liberal voice* are you saying that "the working group to consider creating a working group which would consider writing a formal report considering the efficacies of X, Y & Z ways of addressing the problem" isn't actually a way of addressing the problem?
*dramatic self-important huff*
well at least one of us is doing something about it
It is currently 98 degrees Fahrenheit with 60% humidity outside and I want to die.
All I’m saying is, I’m glad vore is a fantasy where you can imagine it to be as pleasant as you want because my ass would not be able to handle a balmy 98.6 in any universe, fictional or not.
I agree with the whole “mike schmidt is michael afton” theory as much as the next member of the fnaf fandom, hell I’m even treating it as definitive canon in my own timeline of events, but I really wouldn’t be mad if the fnaf movie changes its canon to suit the story it wants to tell bc something about the nightmare scenario of “minimum wage night shift guy who’s figuratively dead inside has to deal with murderous animatronics for a week who are literally dead inside” has its own level of charm and hilarity to me
I really really love being a ttrpg GM but I really really don't have the motivation or interest to write my own homebrew campaigns these days but I also really really don't enjoy playing pre-written modules because I have a hard time sticking to what's on the page
okay in general I don't really get reading fic of media you don't know, like it's whatever but I just personally don't get it, BUT the only fic I've had people comment on of mine remarking that they read it on a recommendation even though they've never seen critical role and loved it is what luminous worlds await and yanno what, I'll give you that one. that's fair.
