My EgoPats Meeting the Canon EgoPats

I saw @insane4fandoms post their thoughts on how the EgoPats would each react when Ness came along as the new kid in the fandom. So, I guess you could say I got inspired. Here's a list of each official EgoPat and each of my fanmade blorbo's (Caliban, Patty, Penn, Ozzie, and LeviathanPat's) thoughts on them.

(I've made a bunch of incorrect quotes to reflect these ideas! Go here if you'd like to see them!)

___

Ness

It'd make a lot of sense for my boys to meet Ness via simply eating at Sparky's. After all, they each need to travel sometimes for their work: Patty's gone on many tours and counting with Delux and the rest of his coworkers at the club, Penn goes on an excavation trip with his team or Illinois at least once a month, Ozzie's learned to cover long distances in short times with all the prison-escapes he's pulled off, Caliban has visited several states numerous times in order to complete a hit-job (whether he's managing it himself or is accompanying Murdock, Azalea or any other members of The Pentas Family). . .

In any case, a roadtrip is fundamentally incomplete without pausing to visit a cozy-looking diner. And it's pretty obvious that my fanegos would all enjoy the fun, uplifting vibes that Ness gives off.

Caliban would find Ness' energy to be refreshing. Since he spends a generous amount of time butchering/preparing his own "food," he knows how to appreciate all the things restaurant workers do. (Plus, I can absolutely see him offering some sly, semi-well-hidden puns in response to the typical jokes Ness likes to make with most customers.) And since the Black Market stuff Caliban is involved with makes such a pretty penny, you just know he leaves some quality tips.

Penn would like Ness' spirit. I know I haven't gone too in-depth with his backstory, but I think waiting tables was one of the many odd-jobs Penn worked while he was still studying for his paleontology/archeology degree. And it's safe to say that he probably didn't enjoy it as much as Ness seems to enjoy his job. So, Penn would respect him for taking such a stressful job in stride. He'd also give excellent tips! He would even if he didn't make a lot of money from his fossil-related projects.

Despite the persona he puts on while dancing, Patty is the type of person who gets nervous whenever he has to order something (I would know, I'm the same way). That being said, he'd really appreciate how kind and cheerful Ness is. The lighthearted banter Ness brings to the table would put Patty at ease. Yep, he'd give some above average tips as well.

Ozzie didn't have very many good experiences with restuaraunts when he first started out. That hasn't exactly changed nowadays, so you better believe that he knows to be grateful when he finds a joint where the owners/staff don't automatically seem judgemental or suspicious of him. Hell, he'd even take a generous amount of money from his personal stash to leave as the tip. (I think I'm just trying to say that my boys know how to treat retail/food workers.)

___

The Detective

Because I guess I'm predictable—it'd be impossible for the classic Hannibal Lecter And Will Graham schtick to not fall between Caliban and The Detective. (Of course, Caliban isn't nearly as arrogant as Hannibal, and The Detective most likely wouldn't slip into a corruption arc similar to Will's, but you get the idea.) I can see it now: The Detective putting on a pokerface whenever in Caliban's presence, speaking in a clipped tone, trying to keep an eye on Caliban every minute until they part ways. . .Meanwhile, Caliban would be all-too-happy to try and make The Detective question himself, casually recounting the hit-jobs he's worked on with Murdock, making morbid jokes left, right, and center, occasionally using his experience to offer some surprisingly sound advice for one of The Detective's cases. . .

At first, Ozzie would be very much iffy about interacting with The Detective. Sure, his crimes are merely petty ones (in a relative sense), but he's still mistrusting of anyone who works in law-related fields. Fortunately, my personal headcanon is that The Detective is more of a private consultant who doesn't work with cops unless he absolutely has to, so once Ozzie learns that, he might try to engage with him just a teensy bit. For all the stunts he's pulled, Ozzie has always made a point to never, NEVER hide out at a circus. That'd just be inviting some horror-movie-level shenanigans that he neither needs nor wants to deal with. So, it's safe to say that he'd be pretty sympathetic with The Detective's clown-induced trauma.

Patty would have sort of the same outlook. Considering how exotic work can sometimes be on the grittier side, he's had to talk to a fair amount of authorities. And, as I'm sure you can guess, not all of those authorities were too respectful towards him. But The Detective is nothing like those worse examples, and once Patty saw that, he'd be happy to get to know him. Still somewhat shy, but that's just how Patty is with most people outside of the club.

Penn would be fascinated by all of The Detective's stories (granted, he'd feel awful about the terror The Detective had to go through, but still). Considering he's used to only seeing obscure, somewhat magical/cursed stuff whenever he's working with Illinois, Penn would likely call up the aforementioned adventurer and tell him about what he heard from The Detective. Y'know, to see if Illinois has ever discovered anything similar.

LeviathanPat would mostly see The Detective as just another mortal to toy with. I say mostly, because he could still sense all the supernatural juju clinging to The Detective's mind thanks to his past. And he'd just delight in trying to break that mind into a thousand little pieces. . .good thing The Detective already has experience dealing with crimes against nature, at least. . .

___

Mack

Oh damn. Caliban would have So. Much. FUN picking on Mack. Making vague little threats, lurking around corners, fidgeting with his meat cleaver in plain view. . .it'd get to the point where Caliban would just have to flash a sly, sharp-toothed grin in order to send Mack running the other way. That being said, Caliban wouldn't go out of his way to fully harm Mack; remember, while he is insane, he's still logical enough to not want to butcher someone who looks almost exactly like him. But he'd see all his scare tactics as a way to teach Mack some manners. There's always a bigger fish, after all.

I feel like Penn and Mack would have an interesting dynamic. Thank to his career in paleontology, Penn's already seen a generous amount of strange/unique creatures (or, what's left of them, that is). Meanwhile, despite his primary role on the Invincible II, it's very likely that Mack would end up researching or interacting with various alien lifeforms. So, yeah, those two could potentially have some fun comparing notes. Then again, we know Mack's general attitude, and Penn is the type to not have much patience for stuff like that. "Okay, well, this isn't going anywhere. I'll come back if you decide to stop being a prick for a few minutes."

Same goes for Patty's case with Mack. Now, my dear poledancer girlypop is very much empathetic, and he's always trying to be open-minded. Everyone's lives are different, right? Everyone's dealing with all sorts of things, which can obviously influence behavior in various ways. And while it wouldn't take Patty very long to realize how Mack's egotistical mean-streak is likely the result of something deeper (my personal headcanon is that Mack has some serious self-esteem issues and might think that acting the way he does is just another defense mechanism), that doesn't mean he's just gonna let himself be talked down to. (And perhaps Mack could be just a smidge dazzled by Patty, since I think that would be hilarious to see. Plus, I mean, come on. Have you SEEN Patty? If he's not a nice little dazzling boy then I don't know what is.)

Ozzie's opinion also wouldn't be too high. Back when he was still living on the streets, having to dodge cars and pick pockets in order to survive, he'd lost count of all the people who would scoff and look down their noses as they passed him by. Well, Mack reminds Ozzie of those people, so he won't hesitate to call him out (and mock him right back) whenever he's being annoying.

___

The Hermit

Caliban and The Hermit would trade recipes. Because of course they would. In fact, Caliban would probably see meeting The Hermit as a weird-yet-lucky coincidence. Another cannibal to interact with, plus not having to worry about extra competition in the underground business? Awesome! And, on a more wholesome note: The Hermit would be all about giving Snare all the pets and treats he deserves. Caliban, meanwhile, would be intrigued by The Hermit's pet bats.

Due to all the fossil-digging stuff, it'd be difficult for Penn to not be an outdoorsman. Therefore, he'd be very impressed by The Hermit's tales of surviving in the wild. He'd be concerned at first, but then would swiftly realize just how much of a tough cookie The Hermit truly is.

Ozzie would be in a similar boat. He's had to camp out in the woods a few times while running away from cops, but he knows he couldn't handle that as long as The Hermit apparently has. So, he'd have some serious respect for the scrungly feral man.

Patty's relationship with The Hermit would be much more on the random side, but still very wholesome. Why? Well, if The Hermit happened to see Patty practicing his dance routines, he'd probably applaud and go, "Wowie! I've climbed a lotta trees, but I don't think I could pull off all those spinnin' tricks!" (Keep in mind that this would be completely innocent. Nothing more.) Patty, of course, would be flattered by the compliment. What's more, he'd find The Hermit's comment about tree-climbing adorable.

___

MadPat

Most of my EgoPats would have similar reactions to MadPat: "Nope." "Don't engage." "Avoid eye-contact."

. . .Well, except for Caliban. Because, despite the two of them being killers, Caliban wouldn't be very impressed by Mad. From his perspective, Mad's methods are sloppy (and he's got a point. Seasoned Random Encounters fans have seen how much evidence Mad left in/around the pizzeria). And for another thing, Mad is just kinda irresponsible? Like, yeah, Caliban can see the appeal of arson, but he's met other arsonists who didn't accidentally burn themselves like slices of toast. It would get to a point where Caliban would just be irritated by Mad's antics.

LeviathanPat would also have an. . .odd view of Mad. Primarliy due to how brazen he is. Like, I haven't gone super in-depth with Leviathan's lore, but he definitely had a hand in crafting insanity as a concept. Leviathan breathes surreal dread. He's eaten the odd star or two back in the day (as in, pre-pre B.C.) His shape is almost constantly shifting because just one glance at what he truly looks like would launch enough trauma to make your brain grind itself into a paste! And for a mortal like Mad to just. . .not. Be. Afraid of him? To try and make unhinged smalltalk with him? To be calm and even excited while looking at all the nightmare-fuel that LeviathanPat is literally made out of?! One part of LeviathanPat just might (and that's a colossal might) be impressed by Mad's apparent fortitude. Another part would end up being annoyed by Mad, probably likening him to a mosquito. (Sneaking this in because @insane4fandoms put a particular little gem into a recent doodle page with some of my bois. Thanks so much, friendo).

___

WarfPat

Most of my boys would instinctually know to not get too close to Warf. Even Caliban feels the need to walk on eggshells around him. (Sure, he's had to deal with the insanity of others; and like I said before, he has some insanity himself. But Warf is in a completely different ballpark, so. . .yeah.)

The reason I barely mentioned LevianthanPat with any of the previous egos is because he'd see them as a handful of more hopeless little mortals to try his luck with luring closer to the next window he chooses to lurk behind. . .except for WarfPat, that is. Even though he'd deny it, I think LeviathanPat would be ever-so-slightly intrigued by him. That guy's got the mind-breaking stuff that eldritch abominations specialize in, after all. Therefore, the outer monstrosity would be curious; perhaps he'd even settle for just chatting with Warf rather than trying to trick him.

Human Tito x Human Ozzie pt. 3 Warning: I DON'T WANNA REPEAT THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN THIS IS NOT FOR KIDS!

(You gay ahh mafaka if you read the last part in pt. 2 dirty minded monkey-)

People went on with their regular schedules. Sessions, therapy, hanging out, doing regularly everyday things. Tito, Ozzie, and other sessions inmates already had finished their session. Ozzie and Tito still secretly had crushes on each other, very strongly. Ozzie was also hiding another secret of being a trans woman, only Cammy knew. Ozzie always loved to read books at the library, he went there everyday. He was like a nerd for science, math, reading, but people underestimated him over him being autistic. He still had a lot that he never understood, but he strongly understands love. He never wanted to go to the library alone since he almost got m*lested in there. Well, he never knew that he was gonna be m*lested, but he knew it was something bad. He doesn't understand sex. On the other hand, Tito's big secret was exposed, he was sexually assaulted as a child and he lost his virginity at the age of 6. The whole group now knew it and he felt very strongly more depressed. Tito has been depressed ever since he was in middle school, which caused self harm and suicidal thoughts. "I-I just can't!", a voice was heard inside an inmates room. "He fucking decided to expose my secret, he knew it was my damn secret!" Tito started crying at the corner if his room, "I just don't wanna deal with this pain anymore!" He grabs a knife that he secretly stole and cuts himself, "You know, this hurts as much as people treat me!" He cries louder as he throws the very bloody knife on the floor. "I just wanna die, I'm always treated so different! I'm always treated like a fucking pendejo! Jerry fucking knew that it was a secret, I told him not to tell anyone!" But then, Tito realized something, if he ever confesses to Ozzie and he accepts, how would Ozzie feel to see him this way? Secretly depressed, suicidal, self harming himself. The worst part, Ozzie's autistic and he'll think that it's a good thing to do to yourself. Tito looks at his bloody arm and cries more due to the pain. He decides to try and calm himself down, but it let more to more anxiety leveling up.

Tales from the Evil!Kg Au (I can't think of a better name right now)

Another crappy day, just like the day before that, and the day before that one, in fact, it's been like that for however long Kid's been alive. Nothing ever seemed to be good. He gets out of bed, gets ready, and avoids his hag of a mother as he tries to get out of that god-forsaken house in the morning. Then, he gets to be harassed all day by two popular raven-haired assholes who don't understand how to leave him alone while being threatened by their stalker. Then he gets to go back home and hopes that his “loving parents” don't harass him.

As Kid walks out of the lunch room he finds himself walking down one of the unused hallways that always seemed to hardly have any classes going on in them. He always hated the loud sounds that came from the cafeteria. It was always too damn noisy with people talking over each other and screaming nonsense. He could hardly hear himself think! 

Reaching the end of the hallway, he walks up to the exit doors and leaves the building, turning left and walking right around the corner. Stopping only a few feet from the corner so he could still hear the bell for when lunch is over and finally plopped his backpack and lunch tray on the ground before taking a seat on the grass against the building. 

He takes a bite of his sandwich, enjoying the nice weather, gentle cool wind blowing by. While he eats he hears a door open and footsteps approach him, god damn it, can Lily and Billy just not follow him for once in their-

“Hey Kiddy, mind if we join you?” Oh. It was just Felix. Kid looks up at the blonde, peeking from around Felix's Shoulder was Cindy. Madison and Ozzy soon come into view from around the corner, quietly talking to each other as Kid and Madison steal a glance from each other.

“...sure, whatever.” Kid says… At least they hardly bug him. Felix smiles in response and takes a seat next to him. Cindy sits on the other side of Kid and smiles cheerfully.

“How are you feeling Kid?” She asks as she pulls a bandaid from her fanny pack. Ozzy hands her over a disinfectant wipe as she moves to get a better look at Kid's face.

“Fine…” 

Cindy carefully wipes Kid's cheek with the wipe and then gently puts a bandaid over a cut that was there. 

“You look like you got hit by a car.” Madison bluntly points out, getting a glare from the brunette.

“Yeah to get away from you.” Kid said, his tone being dead like how he felt inside. Madison stuck her tongue out at him in retaliation.

“Parents giving you a rough time again?” Felix asked, his smile always so soft and sweet to Kid. The brunette didn't bother to say anything more, they knew full well of his home life.

“I feel bad for the inmates they get, your father is a fucking dictator.” Madison said, remembering the few times she got arrested and had to deal with Kid's father.

“Are they threatening boarding school again?”

“What do you think?” 

“Man, lucky guy.” Ozzy jokes as he pretends to fantasize over it. Kid rolls his eyes.

“I went to a boys boarding school once, then they found me.” Madison chipped in, staring at her lunch as she stirs it with her fork.

“Why were you there in the first place?” Asked Felix.

“Remember that time for about 3 months where I was getting like $500 a week?”

“Oh my god don't tell me you were-”

“I was selling them cigarettes, those boys were so easy to swindle.”

“Oh. That wasn’t so bad.” Cindy says, as her shocked expression dropped.

“What the hell do you think I was doing Cindy?” Madison sneers, Cindy quickly looks away, flustered as she sips on her orange juice nervously. Madison's stare quickly hardened as she wanted to burn a hole into Cindy, making the blonde girl scoot closer to Kid as if she could somehow use him for protection.

“I'm sure Cindy was worried you were selling something more illegal, like weed or something!” Felix butts in, quickly trying to defuse the situation. Madison rolls her eyes at him as she goes back to her lunch. The conversation quickly died down after that. Cindy didn't bother to move from her spot, making Kid move his knees up to his chest so he wasn't as squished in-between the two blondes. His back began to hurt as he was still pressed hard against the brick wall.

Usually if he were either by himself or with anybody else he would complain, yet now when he's with these guys. He could care less about it. He just sat there eating his lunch while listening to their conversations without a care in the world. It was one of the daily moments where he felt like he could relax. 

“I'm not sure, hey Kid, what do you think?” Felix looks down at Kid, waiting for an answer.

“It sounds lame.” Kid responds.

“You think everything is lame.” said Madison.

“It's lame like your face.”

“At least it's not stupid like yours.”

Felix cuts in. “Guys please, don't fight.”

“Whatever you say prince pacifist.”

Madison says as she smirks at Kid. Making direct eye contact that seemed playful.

“I just don't like it when people fight.”

“What about that fight with Billy a few days ago?” Ozzy points out, the blonde boy always seems to get pulled into a brawl every week by the raven haired boy. A one-sided rivalry that has been a thorn in Felix’s side since forever.

“I didn’t intend to instigate one! He just seems to always want to fight!”

“It's always going to shock me that he keeps getting away with stuff like that.” Cindy sighs, almost defeated by that fact.

“His parents are besties with the school's superintendent. How else do you think?” Kid says as he picks at the crust on his sandwich.

“Huh, what a surprise. Privileged bastards.” Madison says sarcastically.

“Makes sense, I mean, if I was also an asshole with a parent like that, I'd probably do the same.” Ozzy says as Kid hands him the crust he didn't want. Happily putting it into his chocolate milk carton and then shaking it.

“Do you think Lily has ever gotten sick of him?” 

“I wouldn't be shocked if she pushed him in front of a bus.”

“It wouldn't be the first time one of them did something like that.” Madison says amusingly, chuckling to herself afterwards.

“Hey. Can I have a spork?” Ozzy asks as he opens his backpack and pulls out a can of whipped cream from a hidden lunch bag, Kid hands him an unused spork as Ozzy sprays the whipped cream into the now opened milk carton. Madison holds her hand out for the can, to which Ozzy gives it to her, spraying a huge handful into her mouth before handing it back to him. Quickly wiping it off, Ozzy sets the can back into his backpack and starts eating his concoction.

“For a guy obsessed with health, you really love sweets.” Cindy joked as Ozzy hums in acknowledgment. 

“Hey, who says I can't enjoy a dessert after a meal?”

“Is it really that good?” 

“You wanna try?”

“Yeah, can I?”

Ozzy hands the carton over to Cindy as she wipes off her own spork, scooping out a small portion of the dessert and eating before handing it back to Ozzy.

“Feels like it could use some cinnamon.”

“Guess I know what to bring tomorrow!”

As quick as it went, the lunch bell rings, indicating it was time to go back to class. Ozzy and Cindy groan as they all pick up their things and begin their walk back into the building. 

“Hey, do you guys want to hang out after school?” Felix asks as he leads the way back into the building.

“Where to?”

“Arcade?”

“Hell yeah!” Madison cheered.

“I'm down.”

“Sweet! Maybe I can beat the high score in ‘dance floor exclusive’!” Mused Ozzy, cracking his knuckles as Madison giggles.

“What about you, Kid?” Kid turns to look up at Felix, the blonde boy's face full of kindness as his eyes sparkle, waiting for his answer.

“...Sure, why not.” Felix’s smile grew.

“Great! We can all go to Popper's Pizza afterwards, my treat!” Felix opens the door for his friends, stepping to the side while holding it open for his friends to pass through. When they all go through Kid stops a few feet away to wait for the blonde. The other three seemingly engrossed in a conversation about a video game Kid could care less about kept moving forward as Kid waited. Once Felix was on the other side of the door, they continued on towards their classes. They walked as Kid nudges Felix, earning back a more gentle nudge. 

“Yo, slow pokes, hurry up!” Madison calls back to them annoyed. 

“Sorry!” Felix apologizes and grabs Kid's hand, dragging him along as they catch up to their friends who were waiting. As they continue to walk back to class, Kid realizes that Felix never let go of his hand, so instead of pulling away, he intertwines their fingers. Yeah, these guys are alright. Not that Kid would admit it, but he does enjoy their presence.

Stark Raving Sane: My Heart

Posted June 25, 2023 Archived from EAOnline

My Heart Is A Weapon Of War: This isn’t meant to be me, but once the cheek heart goes on, it looks oddly suspicious.

Dearest Inmates,

The secret is out. Well, one of them. This will be a year of secrets revealed, and the next year as well, because I’m absolutely brilliant at keeping them it turns out, and they’ve been piling up like logs at a witch burning (that took a turn!).

Oh! The secret! Right. Ahem. New art collections, paintings this time (although sculptural mixed media using medical materials is still my favorite because burning plastic gives off such delicious fumes), and it was only after working on these new bits for absolute ages that I realized I’ve been channeling my childhood love of surrealist/fantasy/magical-realism-ish artists like Maxfield Parrish that I used to escape into, and it’s thrilling the return to innocence (albeit short-lived) that an age-appropriate retirement from social media can inspire. It was only today that I learned that Max was actually mixed-media-ing all over the place! He would often cut out photographs and other images, paste them to his canvas, and paint over them.

To see more of the creature above plus other new pieces, and find out how you can snag a Limited Edition giclée print, tappity here:

MY HEART IS A WEAPON OF WAR - FINE ART GICLEE PRINT

I love you.

P.S. You may find me coming out of Instagram retirement, we’ll see if an Ozzy needs to be pulled, but should that occur, it would be a semi-retirement, as I would only be popping in occasionally to quietly share art/music/movies and such—for anything more titillating, you’ll have to bookmark this blog.

Sometimes I wonder what if Mavis were ever caught after failing to escape one of Penguins schemes. Most of the time, she flew off and managed to escape out of grasp somehow because Ozzy ingrained it into her (no matter which Batman version of him) that if they're at the end of the rope, to leave him and go back home so he can take the fall. So he can always have someone else on the other side and also because he even doesn't know what they'll do with her or TO her. But still, even she would have to be captured at some point. So again, what would her detainment pertain to?

Not sure about Stonegate because I don't know if they'd be able to hold someone like her.

Maybe Arkham? Seems like the most likely place, I feel like they would treat her like a actual animal in there like they do Killer Croc.

And I get that a lot of canon villains actually jump back and forth from different incarcerations. Some being more in Arkham than most. So it's probably not that big a question?

But i think whichever way, he is absolutely not going to like it and would try to get her out some way or another. He knows how awful both inmates and patients are treated inside.

Hey, don't know if anyone has messaged about this but there's an early draft of the 90s show pilot online. Here are some pulls from it that might be interesting (this is about to be long, sorry): First, the pilot is an hour long, it's mostly just that the existing scenes are longer. Second, the show starts with Leia and Eric in the car to Red and Kitty's house. The characterisation of Leia is different. She's more openly rebellious, already wearing a magnet nose ring - in this pilot she doesn't get it from Gwen - and she's more of a classic stroppy teenage type around Eric. Also there is no Donna, don't know if that's something to do with not having Laura Prepon on board yet but she's just mentioned as being in Florida visiting Grandpa Bob. Eric's stuff is kept the same but Donna is swapped out in certain scenes for either Kitty or Red. Nikki is called Nisha. Its established that Leia, Gwen and Ozzie are 14. Nikki and Jay are 15 and Nate is 16. Gwen is introduced as singing along to Seether by Veruca Salt, a cooler more 90s choice than Alanis Morissette I would argue. Nate is described as a Johnny Knoxville type and Ozzie calls him a 'future inmate' - they must have changed direction with his character maybe when the tone of the show became more comedic. Nikki is explicitly more of a Jackie analog, she's described as preppy and has dialogue that underlines she's in honor society, that she's lying to her parents about where she is when she's with Nate and at one point she tells Nate not to call her 'baby' because it diminishes her. Leia is supposed to be going to basketball camp not space camp. Kitty makes a joke that in her day if a girl played basketball people thought they were a lesbian. (An interesting explicit reference to sexuality for all the shippers out there). The Jackie/Kelso scene is pretty much beat for beat the same. There's a moment where Jay tries to flirt with Leia in the Runck basement and grabs a hot pipe and ends up screaming, physical comedy stuff. Gwen is a little closer to Hyde but only a little. There's a moment where she encourages Leia to go out of her comfort zone, Nikki accuses her of being like a coke dealer from an after school special and Gwen says that's what she's going for. A fun detail is that Jay has a camcorder and we see footage from the perspective of the camera, so it's shot old school 90s. The scene of Leia trying to get the tap for the keg is longer and features all the kids doing a shot for shot remake of "been caught stealing". When they get the keg, Jay 'gives Leia a quick kiss' and she throws up on Nikki's Keds. There's a moment of all of the kids in the Runck basement with the keg singing Hip Hop Hooray filmed through Jay's camera. Ozzie, Nikki and Gwen are the focus, each rapping a verse into the camera. There's no circle in the pilot at all, it ends with all the kids in the Foreman basement, finding the weed and Nate saying he's never leaving. All in all it looks like in becoming a half hour, going to Netflix and finding the actors they did, a lot of changes happened. But I think some interesting stuff established in this pilot is probably still how the writers will be thinking about these characters and could be interesting in the future. I hope they let Jay have a camcorder in season 2, I loved that detail. Hope you find this interesting.

Thanks for the ask!

I did know about the leaked Pilot script, but I have not actually read it. I've heard about several of those details before, but several of them were new to me. Thanks for sharing!

It's interesting that at one point the show was conceived as being one hour long.

I'm definitely glad Leia's characterization was changed, personally, and that Donna was written in (and that Laura Prepon is involved as much as she is).

I agree with you about Jay. He was also described in some promo materials as "always having a camera" and "constantly filming his friends", so that definitely feels like it was supposed to be part of his characterization. I'd love to see it developed more in season 2.

Curious to hear what others think of some of these details. Thanks for sharing, anon!

@traitorous-bisexual : We are gonna run out of food soon, at this point @gayminecraftmen doesn’t need to execute,,, we will just start dropping like flies. 

@thenamestrashcan : I mean we could always sell the prison warden’s bath water too pay for food.

@whyamiherewhosummonedme : Yea good idea,,, but how would we sell them, I’m pretty sure no one has a phone or a laptop.

@inkflowindigo : How about the ghosts, they probably have internet?

(Two ghost appear) @profile-not-found404 : Over my cold dead b-... oh yea I’m already dead..

@hearty-anon : Yea.... we love you guys, but we are not doing that,,, ever.

@big-crime-official : Don’t we have other ghost???

404: Well,,, they are currently occupied.

(cuts to @tie-dyed-dumbass and @mcytbrainrot sitting in hell the afterlife drinking some nice cold lemonade)

@fox-notfound : So,, I guess we all die from starvation. 

@minecrafttubeyou : You guys know there is a Walmart about 10 minutes from here, we could always just rob the place.

@yourlocalfandomgoblin : Only if no one gets hurt, this idea doesn’t sound half bad.

One trip to Walmart later

@the-minecraft-corn : Welcome to Walmart how may I- HEY why are you guys here?

@octosghost : Fear of death due to extreme hunger.

Corn: That’s...... fair.

(cuts back to the prison)

@ribineran : Huh??? I was taking care of my tape worm,,, what happened to everyone??????

Sad idea,

Arkham staff being really strict with Eddie and his outburst to the point the other inmates and rouges start to think its a lil fucked up

Every tantrum, screaming match, threat, even gets to the point of the change in eddies tone they sedate him. Even the guards try to purposely drive him up the wall just to made him lash out

When he’s getting transported he’s too weak to walk at times and has to be in a wheelchair

He’ll be extremely lucky to have some of the rouges there even they feel some sympathy watching Eddie completely zoned out and picking at his lunch tray. If Harley is there she’ll baby sit him and Eddie just falls into her embrace and that’s very unlike him. And the slightest mention of Ozzie makes him sob

Being drugged up for so long he can’t remember anything let alone the last time he saw Oswald.

Harely being the gem she is helps Eddie out a lot, in the Rec room/ break room (whatever you call it) she helps Eddie stretch some much needed muscles, his lack of ANYTHING has him stiff as a board even his brain she leaves out a puzzle for him todo even tho he’s nodding off in his seat. When he’s eating she has to help lift his elbow and once again stop him from slamming his face into the table from dozing off

Even his cell neighbour Two face has yelled and cussed out the doctors for juicing Eddie up when he’s done nothing to deserve it

On this date in music history…the important stuff anyway…

Au designs! Starting by posting Alex and Zee cause I still can't quite get Donovan's design right and it's bugging me to hell and back, so just two of the boys for now!

Relating to yesterday's massive hyperfixation infodump world-building post, note the outfits. Alex has a preference for ripped sleeves (but doesn't like to actually rip them off himself) and Zee is a big fan of cuffs as a fashion statement (helps hide that he's short as all hell). Ignore how Zee looks taller than Alex, he's still a short king.

So, in the au, they've been down here since the Summer of Slaughter. As a result, while they aren't in the gangs or uber-killers, most of the inmates do respect them cause they're old-timers and surprisingly resourceful assholes. (Image ID below the cut)

Alex has finely honed his theft and sneakery skills by regularly smuggling various things (mostly future shanks) to and from various inmates, locations, and resources. He's the guy you talk to if you want someone to steal you an extra jumpsuit, shuffle you some cleaner bedding, or get your shank back after it's been confiscated. He's been in the hole once for two days and is one of the few to survive a lockdown outside of his cell.

Summary: Thief and smuggler, occasional starter of shit. Dreams of escape, hasn't stopped planning and wondering and hoping for years despite environment. Tenuous relationship with gangs, liked by slicers and tolerated by most inmates.

Current allies: Zee, Monty, Simon, Ozzie, Gangs (semi-officially), Donovan, Oli

Threat level: Seen as rough equivalent to a good slicer; not powerful enough to fuck you over completely, but there's a business end to the shank and even the Skulls don't start shit with him unless necessary. Due to contract with Bodie (pre Bodie being taken) Alex is allowed to intervene occasionally if he thinks the Skulls are going too far on the condition that he knows they're not gonna bother holding back during the fight (neither will he). There will be no repercussions for the survivor(s) the day after. Avoid interacting with him the day after the blood watch, as well as being in the same cell as him that night.

Additional information: He and Zee made a good four shanks together via smuggling and honing and regularly trade by accident and relative indifference. Alex's personal favorite is the one made from a pickaxe's handle (handle made of cloth to avoid splinters and damage) but he also likes the one made from a broken bowl (the plastic can break off in someone's bloodstream and cause some fun problems and while Alex doesn't usually go for that sort of thing, he likes having the option). Small collection of scraps of cloth hidden everywhere in cell and various places around prison.

Zee has pried more than one camera out of the wall and been sent to solitary for it three times (one day, one day, three days). Between his skills and Alex's, the entire prison is in their theoretical grasp. The main thing stopping Zee from taking over is his complete lack fo ability to actually do so. Smuggles shit with Alex and, more importantly, tends to help disastrous events smooth over a bit. Best known for his ability negotiate gang territories, manipulate two separate blacksuits into being slightly (very slightly) nicer to inmates, and not being above intentionally fucking with enemies in non-lethal but absolutely horrifying ways.

Summary: Smuggler, starter of shit, and knower of miscellaneous secrets and deals. Do not attempt to stab him in the back. He'll smuggle laundry detergent out and fuck with your toilet until you're in the infirmary with permanent damage to ass and upper legs. Will occasionally negotiate things between normal inmates and slicers or gangs in exchange for various favors and items.

Current allies: Alex, Simon, Monty, Pete, Gangs (on and off), Donovan, Oli

Threat level: Do not fuck with unless you have some damn good backup. Zee is remarkably resilient and, unlike Alex, capable of blending into the normal populace and playing by its rules without major difficulty. He has enough allies and hiding spots that if he can't get revenge on you within a day, someone else will. Still defers to the Skulls and Fifty-Niners, but just barely so at times.

Additional information: Refuses to go to a slicer unless Alex goes first and the cut is good. Zee's hair grows pretty quick so he's walking around with a ponytail more often than not of late. He has parts of the disassembled cameras hidden in spots all over and (in theory) can make a small bomb using those parts (or a trigger mechanism for a larger bomb). Has accidentally taught most of the prison Yiddish profanities and insults. Refuses to drop the American accent.

Miscellaneous little notes on both of them:

- Absolute little bastards, and aware of it.

- They mainly deal with the Skulls via Simon now that Gary's in charge. Simon likes their shit-stirring attitudes, they like Simon's relative chill.

- Alex gets just the slightest bit crazy during blood watches. The next day is one of the few times he'll actually invoke his theoretical gym privileges and go challenge whoever the fuck is down for a fight. So far he has yet to lose.

- Zee regularly hassles the new kids that aren't major threats (not part of gangs, not trying to kill him) for surface news, especially if the new fish have connections to the US or follow sports or media he likes. A week with daily lockdowns was caused by poor handling of breaking the news to Zee about the latest Star Wars problems.

- Alex doesn't so much have the crowd parting for him come mealtime as the ability to just slip through the crowd without being noticed or properly blocked. He's managed to sneak away from chipping duty once or twice, albeit with much difficulty.

- They're menaces separately and menaces together. Their cellmates have given up hope of peace.

- Zee is firmly convinced the warden is secretly running a nazi cult and that's how bloodwatch selections happen. Whenever asked to elaborate he refuses but it's started several prison-wide fights.

[Image IDs:

Three photos of sketches fleshing out au designs for Alex and Zee. The first page shows Alex, the second one shows Zee, and the third details their inventories/daily objects.

Alex is a biracial boy of about 5'6'' height with very curly hair that's in an afro going just past his ears. He is wearing a zipped-up Furnace jumpsuit with the legs rolled up symmetrically and the sleeves torn to just above the elbow. The uniform has faded stripes on it. On the side is a sketch of Alex from the waist up in profile, with his hair in a bun.

Zee is a short Indian boy with black hair going to almost shoulder-length. His jumpsuit is partially unzipped, with the sleeves rolled up to the elbows and mismatched leg cuffs. The left leg's cuff is thick and short, the right leg is rolled up to the knee. The strips are almost completely faded out. To the side is a small sketch of Zee in profile and three smaller sketches of just his head with three different hairstyles: short hair in anime-style spikes, short hair with a slighter, more realistic, spikiness to it, and one ponytail going to about the nape of the neck.

The third image shows their inventory. Zee's currently inventory contains A wooden shank with a cloth handle, a collection of small gaieties made from uniform scraps, and some bandages from larger strips of the jumpsuits. Alex's inventory consists of a black rock shank, and a bandanna-sized square of light grey uniform clot to be used as a bandanna/durag . There is a small text at the bottom of Alex's inventory saying "Not pictured: metric crapton of dreams and escape fantasies".

And They Were Cellmates (During the ten years AU, Nygmobblepot, angst)

Warnings: depression

Ed was staring up at the hardly used top bunk as he felt Oswald stirring beside him.

Oswald moved over to snuggle into Ed’s chest and roll on top of him, his first waking thought being to cuddle. Ed’s bothersome ruminating was momentarily halted by the feeling of Oswald pressing down on him. Over the past seven years they’d spent in prison Oswald had put on a generous amount of weight which had mostly gathered in his belly and hips, making him rather bottom heavy. The stress of prison seemed to have opposite effects on Ed and Oswald’s appetites, often causing Ed to lose his which left Oswald of a mind to finish whatever Ed didn’t eat. Ed didn’t really care about Oswald’s appearance changing, as long as the other man felt secure in himself which he did. Ed was jealous of how through all the changes Oswald had been through his reputation was still in tact. No one talked about the Riddler anymore, it was hard to keep up those kinds of shenanigans in jail, the most he could do was fuck with guards and other inmates but the limitations on the theatre and extravagance of his schemes caused him to give up and sent him into a sort of depression. Now he was only known as Oswald’s most prized possession or, more bluntly, his bitch. Oswald still saw Ed as an equal and treated him like it but the others saw Ed as nothing more than King Penguin’s loyal twink. He hated feeling like no one or a has been but there wasn’t much he could do about it until they were released. For the time being he was just grateful he had been put in Blackgate instead of Arkham, Oswald managed to take over many things in the prison in only a few months, arranging for himself and Ed to share a cell as soon as possible. No one had dared to separate them since and of course Oswald’s influence on both guards and inmates had only been cemented over the years. Ed often felt powerless compared to the other man. It seemed in a way Oswald thrived in this environment while Ed would be nowhere without Oswald’s protection. Ed tried to push off the depressive thoughts for that day, Oswald still saw him as brilliant and powerful, he was the only one that mattered not the mindless pigs and sheep around them. Oswald hugged at Ed’s waist as he snuggled him deeper “What’s going on in that head of yours, dear?”

The smell of Oswald’s hair and his warmness was making Ed feel a bit better about things “...Nothing, Ozzie. It’s nothing.”

Y'all when I was a very little kid, during my older sister's b-day party, I sobbed because I couldn't pin the tail properly on the donkey lmaoooo How do you feel about the use of nuclear weapons? Absolutely fucking barbaric. What song has the most meaning to you? "Life Won't Wait" by Ozzy Osbourne. What is your favourite dinosaur? Spinosaurus!!!! :') Have you ever made bread? No. Has anything ever fallen asleep on you? Pets, a baby I was watching after, and Jason. Ever been dominated in a game you were/are really good at? yep alskdjfla;jwej Have you ever decided to set fire to something out of anger? No. Would you rather be a house pet or a wild animal? Wild animal, I guess? Have you ever listened to a group of chanting monks? I haven't. If you had to get a portrait tattoo, who would it be of? Probably of Teddy. I've still yet to decide on the total design of his tribute tat I'm getting. Do you like the smell of men’s colognes better than woman’s perfumes? I think so, yeah. How mad would you be if someone copied your original work (story, poem)? I'd be pretty fuckin pissed. Have you ever blown something up in science class? Ha, no. Have you ever gotten a serious wound from shaving? Not serious, no. Have you invented anything, only to find out it actually exists? I feel like I have? Ever realize you never truly LOVED your first love? Absolutely not. I loved him. Would you want a Bachelor/Bachelorette party before you get married? Sure, sounds fun. Do you prefer pads, tampons or something else? As of very recently, I returned to using pads. I used tampons for most of my maturity, but I got annoyed with them for TMI reasons and resorted back to pads, even though I don't like them either. Have you ever dated a model? No. What is your ultimate goal in life? To die happy with my life and what I (hopefully) accomplished. What colour are the socks you’re wearing today? I’m not wearing any. Who was the last person you sent a Facebook message to and what did you say? Girt. It was something regarding how I once considered doing the suicide mission at BWW where you eat a select number of their hottest wings, but I didn't wanna die via chicken. :^) Are you tall, short or average? Would you change this? I'm average in height. I wouldn't change it, nah. Especially now that Girt and I are together the ridiculous height difference is hilarious but also cute lmao. Have you ever worked in a store while someone shoplifted there? Like, while I was there? No. Have you ever had casual sex? Nahhhh. What’s your favourite flavour of frosting? Chocolate. @_@ When you think of your childhood, are the memories mostly happy or sad? Mostly happy, I guess. What is it like being you? Is it enjoyable? It's very boring with few sources of joy. What are your thoughts on the cause of homosexuality? I would *assume* it's a genetic mutation. Reason being, having a romantic partnership without the ability to reproduce defies the motives of science. There is nothing, absolutely NOTHING, wrong with said (and hypothetical) genetic mutation, though. Mutations are just another part of science. They occur naturally. What subjects did you find most interesting in school? Least? Most interesting: literature/English (especially reading like, old mythology and epics and stuff like that), LOTS of branches of science (but primarily genetics), art, and I looooved my four semesters of German.

Green Day was one. Would you be more afraid of drowning or being buried alive? Buried alive, for sure. It would be much, much slower. Should you really be doing something more productive right now?

No. Does your family own more than two houses? HUNNY we r poor. A relative just committed a very serious crime, do you turn them in? It depends on the exact crime, but odds are, yes.

You are on life support, what would you want a loved one to do about it? For the love of god, please kill me. Your child has only a while to live, do you still enroll them in school? That would be up to them. Also, define "a while." How would you feel if you met your idol and they ended up being rude? WELP I have a tattoo in his honor so that would suck ass lmao According to the tale, was Eve wrong for eating and sharing the apple? "God was wrong for even setting up an apple tree and making up rules in the first place." <<<< There ya go. And the punishment was fucking ludicrously extreme. Are you working on any goals? Yes. I'm currently going to the gym regularly to try and better my physical health and then find a job. I know that being connected sounds odd, but trust me: I can barely carry out very simple tasks just because I have absolutely ZERO stamina to do almost anything. I need energy and endurance. I'm also working towards developing some self-love. Which parent named you? I wanna say my mom. Are you currently frustrated with someone? I mean, myself. Aforementioned self-love is hard. I'm just annoyed my head is so reluctant to accept that I'm not a piece of shit for a million reasons. Why have most of your past relationships ended? They all ended for different reasons, really. Are you having any online conversations, currently? I'm not. What’s on your mind? I'm just tired and going back to bed real soon. Have you ever had an argument with a teacher? No.

since im horribly hyperfixating on batman stuff (2004 version atm), im like imagining my oc as a guard for Arkham, and shes so small that everyone is doubting her ability to do her job right cuz like some of the prisoners are huge monsters that could break her in half at any moment.

But like, she somehow befriends Poison Ivy talking about the kinds of flora that are on her island and Ivy is 100% willing to fight anyone who hurts her newest friend. Silent has no idea about flora, she thinks plants are pretty but she doesn’t really care for them that much but she puts up with it for Ivy. And as the weeks, months, maybe even years pass, Silent eventually befriends almost everyone there. 

She’s like nicer than the other guards, (IE she doesn’t hurt them when something goes wrong, she treats them like humans. Even the ones who don’t look like humans at all.) Sometimes she brings them some food that doesn't taste like shit because im assuming the food there tastes bad. Maybe gives them harmless trinkets that can play with that wont aid them in an escape attempt.

I believe she and Waylon get along much better than the others, maybe even Ozzie and possibly Kirk. Since Silent isn’t human herself, I believe her befriending the more monstrous/animal-like inmates would be better. It might take some time for others, but eventually she develops bonds with them. Waylon would DIE for her. He’s never felt so fucking accepted by anyone before, and Silent accepts him and even thinks he’s cool af. 

As she finds out they escape and then get caught again, they’re less hostile with her and are happy to know she’s still working as a guard. She’s probably feeling sorry for them and wishes they would stop causing havoc.

Crazy late night Gotham headcanon

Eddie and Ozzie get married post reunification and prior to their arrests

Ed wants to wait so they can make it big and flashy, but while Ozzie is on board for that he also wants to legalise it quick cos he's scared something might happen to snatch this happiness away from him like it always does

So they compromise and agree to a quick secret wedding, to be followed up by a song and dance public performance of one later (Eddie being excited at the prospect of stunning everyone with the surprise reveal that they are already married :p)

They need a witness ofc and plan to grab a random passer by but, oh, what a coincidence, this happens to be FOXY

(this is not a coincidence, Eddie secretly lures Foxy to the right place at the right time with a riddle)

Which is how Foxy ends up giving Ed away at his wedding and becomes the only one who knows Ed and Oz are in fact legally husbands (aside from the priest ofc who has likely been threatened into performing the ceremony without the usual prep and whatever and so is too freaked out to ever talk of it)

They swear Foxy to secrecy though, so as not to spoil the big surprise wedding they have planned (to which Foxy just sighs and is all 'okay fine'). Then when they are arrested and separated each of them separately insist that Foxy stays quiet out of fear that should their marriage, and thus the new nature of their relationship, become public NOW it could put the other in greater danger than they'd accounted for as free men ie. their various enemies might go after the other and being stuck in Blackgate/Arkham they'd have no way to provide adequate protection

(except ofc various individuals work out Eddie and Ozzie are a Thing anyways because it's obvious eg. Jeremiah)

Foxy sees the sense their logic though, and so keeps the secret (he's good at that kind of thing after all)

But because he knows the truth he maybe goes out of his way to help get Ed and Ozzie occasional face time during their separate incarcerations (like, idk, as part of a Wayne Enterprises project - when he's working there again obvs - he organises joint Blackgate and Arkham Xmas dinners as part of a community outreach/rehabilitation program, or has Blackgate inmates taken to Arkham for psyche evaluations, or something that actually makes sense that I can't think of right now!)

...whether Eddie and Ozzie still have a big performance wedding after Ozzie release idk - with Eddie as a fugitive it might be tricky... maybe they take hostages or something to ensure Eddie makes it through the ceremony without being arrested again :p In any case when they do manage to get round to it Foxy is Best Man to both of them (he doesn't get a choice) - Ozzie would have picked Jim, but still hasn't forgiven him for the arrest :p

(if Query and Echo exist they are totally bridesmaids - Barbara is Maid of Honour, press ganged into it like Foxy but while he spends the whole time looking 100% Done she gets really into it, organising clothes and flowers and getting Barbara Jnr to be a bridesmaid too, to Jim's chagrin)

(Freeze makes ice sculptures)

(Zsasz brings Headhunter as his Plus One and catches the bouquet - oh, Eddie has a bouquet, lilies ofc)

(Selina comes along mainly to steal the wedding presents)

(Ivy provides the flowers, making sure that all of them are somehow connected to the ground throughout so they don't die - she disapproves of the bouquet and promptly takes it from Zsasz and replants it somewhere - Zsasz is still embarrassed from being under her spell that time so doesn't protest)

(If Harley exists she obviously gets a front row seat and cries)

(J is not invited)

(Bruce is up in the rafters watching the whole time, ready to step in, but decides to let it all play out if possible cos he knows Ed and Oz will only try again if this wedding fails so better to get it over with)

(I got overly into this time for bed g'nite!)
