We learn in the shows that Barry was the inventor of Gideon but then we didn't get to see him do much of her invention. Would you have liked to have seen the creation of Gideon or do you think it wouldn't have been interesting to see?

Crisis on Infinite Earths Reading Order: How to Navigate the Epic Saga

What makes the Crisis on Infinite Earths Reading Order so complex? How can fans navigate this epic saga that has shaped the DC Comics universe? The original “Crisis on Infinite Earths” event spanned 12 issues from 1985 to 1986. It marked a significant shift in the DC Universe, merging multiple universes into one. To understand the Crisis on Infinite Earths Reading Order, it’s key to explore the…

Kara was supposed to be a Worldkiller.

Let me explain why I wrote Darkness in All Things.

The crux of it really starts with this canon line. In 3x11, Kara ventures to Fort Rozz to find Jindah Kol Rozz - the priestess witch who might know how to defeat Reign.

It's there that Jindah - who emphasizes that there is "darkness in all things, in every soul you know" - reveals that Reign is not the only worldkiller. The others will awake, and unite beneath the banner of Reign.

The Power. The Pestilence. The Purity.

But who is Power?

To answer who is Power, we may need to start with who are the worldkillers.

In the comics, the worldkillers were created by Zor-El (who also experimented on his daughter). There were actually many worldkillers before Krypton's destruction, including Reign and her three followers.

This show has a way of reinventing comic plots. The black mercy plot, Red Son, World's Finest - all comic lore that was reimagined for Arrowverse Kara.

In season 3, we see Erica Durance (famous for Smallville's Lois Lane) take on the role of Alura. This in itself implies something big for Alura. It's not too much of a stretch to think that maybe she would take Zor-El's place as creator of the worldkillers.

And it would sure explain Sam's nightmare above, which we see at the very end of 3x01, and is never addressed again.

So we have a hint that there may be a fourth worldkiller named Power, and that perhaps Alura would take Zor-El's role in the comic of having created them. Why Kara?

Kara dreams of the worldkillers - for reasons she doesn't quite understand. But she only dreams of three. If Jindah says there are four, why don't we see the fourth in Kara's dream?

I've spoiled it already, of course: the dreamer is one.

So why didn't we see Worldkiller Kara?

It's important to note that an abusive showrunner was fired in the middle of the season - prompting rewrites & the odd midspring break.

It explains why the nightmare with Alura was never revisited, why Lena wasn't made evil despite the showrunner saying otherwise, and why Sam survived when the plot & casting call hinted at Sam's death & Ruby being adopted by Alex. It also explains why the show emphasized Alura's line from the pilot - you will do extraordinary things - 3x02 Triggers.

I could be wrong, of course - but it's still an idea that ate at me. What would it look like for Kara have to wrestle with a destructive purpose? How would the team defeat the worldkillers if their strongest fighter was one of them? What would that mean for the rift that was developing between Lena and Kara with the kryptonite and spying?

... which is why I wrote Darkness in All Things.

You are now watching… desired reality tv!!!

hi there! welcome to desired reality tv! i’m your host: brooke! and i can’t wait for you to tune in to the channel. today news center 222 is gonna be covering an interview with yours truly, by yours truly.

first things first, get to know your host!

･ ｡ﾟ☆: hi everyone! my name is brooke, i’m 19 years old, and i’m an aquarius sun, aries moon, and gemini rising! i learned about shifting/manifesting wayyyy back in 2019! i’ve been actively practicing shifting since 2020 and have been doing manifestation/spiritual practices for about the same amount of time!

my favorite color is purple (clearly). i love music (even though my taste is quite basic idrc). i like to read (i say as if i’m not in a horrible reading slump). i’m new to tumblr in general and i’m super open to making new shifting/loa friends if anyone’s interested! <3

where do i shift to?

･ ｡ﾟ☆: currently, i’m fixated on my mcu x marauders crossover dr! james potter holds my heart and soul i fear… (but don’t tell him i said that please!)

i also have a dc x mcu dr, which i’m superrr excited to shift to but it’s a bit more complex than my other dr so it’s on a back burner in my mind!! (who am i kidding, i fantasize about it all the time?!)

as for other drs… in theory i have a few fame drs, an f1 dr, a pjo/hoo dr, an andrew garfield spider-man dr, and whatever else is on my mind any given day. none of these are scripts i’ve finished tbh, but i want to go there one day. (anyone else get the urge to shift to any media you consume?!!)

miscellaneous facts about me?!

･ ｡ﾟ☆: as i stated before, my favorite color is purple, i love all shades, lavender and royal purple (cool undertones preferred) have my <3 fully. i love fantasy and dystopian books, always looking for good recs because i hate searching on my own can’t lie (i promise i’m gonna read caraval soon rachel.) i’m obsessed with learning about the universe, spirituality, neuroplasticity, loa, all of the “woo woo” witchy or science idc, it’s fascinating.

series i love: invincible, the vampire diaries, teenwolf, young justice, cobra kai (haven’t finished the last season yet), THE ORIGINALS (elijah mikaelson the man you are), x-men 97, percy jackson, the mcu, harry potter (fuck jkr btw), the arrowverse (have not finished everything but still love it), the hunger games, spider-verse and all spider-man media, little women, and probably a bunch more i cannot recall.

fav artists: harry styles, arctic monkeys, maisie peters, sabrina carpenter, frank ocean, taylor swift, 1d, zayn, ariana grande, tate mcrae

where am i at in my journey?

･ ｡ﾟ☆: currently? i’m on my way to fully shifting to my marauders x mcu dr. i’ve mini-shifted so many times i cannot remember, i’ve fully shifted to alternate one offs of either my cr or dr… (super annoying btw, but thankful for the proof of shifting i suppose) i’ve also had plenty of “dream-shifts” which is a term me and @alleviatcd coined a few years ago, which basically means shifting through a dream into a real life version of said dream or something similar. (we were using it as a really loose term tbh)

i’ve had plenty of experiences with shifting and manifesting by now, i’m at the point in my journey where i’m implementing it in a way where it’s just a normal part of my life, not some outlandish goal i’m trying to complete. i decided to make this blog to have somewhere to ramble (like most of us i assume), and hopefully help a few people and myself out along the way.

if you’ve read all the way down here… i love you so bad wtf?!!! thank you so much for tuning into the pilot episode of desired reality tv: news center 222! if you’ve got any questions or ideas for me to post about send an ask, a dm, or whatever, i love yapping. and i love YOU all!

with love,

b <3

Jonathan Kent Supersuit (CW SUPERMAN & LOIS)

I WAS RIGHT!!!! OMG!!! WE JUST NEED TO WAIT AND SEE IF THEY GO THROUGH WITH IT BUT OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!!!

This is concept art for the boy's supersuits and look at Jon's!!!

I told you guys they would go with Conners 90s Supersuit and guess who was RIGHT. (This makes me very happy, I don't share theories often.)

Here is my post talking about it:

Here is the link for the article I read.

I need Jon to have this costume! PLEASE CW END THE ARROWVERSE WITH A BANG AND THIS AWESOME SUIT!!!!!

(Yes I know S&L is not a part of the Arrowverse but a different Earth.)

[shrinkthisviolet]

I hate to say it, but I think Iris and Felicity only get more development, because Iris is Barry’s wife and Felicity is Oliver’s wife. Like oh the heroes’ wives should be friends type thing, so it feels like their friendship is more developed only because of their proximity to the male heroes and the male heroes’ friendship. That said, I’ll take any female friendship I can get, so I do like SmoakWest’s friendship. Also I’d love to hear your thoughts on the show overcorrecting!

Oh 100%, and even their development in s1 is because they were teasing Barricity for a bit (which ngl I thought was cute and still do!). And beyond that, it's definitely because of how closely Westallen and Olicity were intertwined, a) because of Barry & Oliver's friendship, and b) because of the Arrowverse crossovers (a and b are interrelated, but you get the idea). But it's definitely so refreshing to see, and makes me wish more attention had been paid to the other relationships (which I think would've been possible if they'd kept Linda on and actually let her get with Wally like the comics, but...idk maybe some bts stuff prevented Malese from coming back).

And thank you! There's...quite a bit of the writers shooting themselves in the foot 😅:

For one thing, the writers clearly wanted to write Killer Frost, not Caitlin, which is pretty clear if you watch exactly where Caitlin started getting less and less to do: s4 onwards...aka when the show made the decision to split her and Frost into separate people sharing a body. And especially when Frost got her own body. The only times Caitlin has stuff to do after the retcon is when it's Frost-related, s3's KF arc is the most focus she gets in the entire show (other than her arc with Zoom, but that trauma is also pretty fast-tracked), and the writers loved teasing Killer Frost throughout s1 and s2. Unfortunately, this diminished role of Caitlin, while Iris was rising to prominence due to her expanding role in the show (which is justified, argue with the wall), resulted in the two ladies being pitted against each other by the fandom frequently

Due to Caitlin's role being reduced, her friendship with Barry was also reduced. This likely also happened because the writers wanted to nip SB in the bud and stop giving the shippers ammo because Barry/Iris canon was definitively a go. Unfortunately, all this did was feed the wild conspiracy theory that SB was meant to be endgame all along, but since the writers were talked out of it, they had to "force" Westallen. This is nonsense - the writers were never going to make SB endgame, they were going to write them as a brief romance (a la Barry/Patty or Barry/Linda), which Grant nixed. But with the fandom's tendency to play telephone + the Barry & Caitlin friendship being severely reduced as seasons went on, this led to this conspiracy theory that is still alive and well in SB shipping circles.

Another example I can think of is the writers making it seem like Iris was sabotaging Barry/Linda. That is...absolutely not what happened: Linda asked for advice about Barry and why he's so bad at dating, and Iris explained that Barry had an unrequited love that wasn't reciprocated, so give him time. If she was trying to sabotage them, she would've suggested Linda move on and find someone else, or said Barry was unrequited in love with her (Iris), or something like that. But she gives Linda genuinely good advice! The writers, however, don't seem to get that, so they go on to pretend like Iris was sabotaging Barry/Linda...which honestly makes Iris look like kind of a jerk? And like she's no better than s1 Barry?

Honestly for as much as I am a firm believer that Iris loved Eddie (you don't say "screw the future" and "I decide who I love, and I love you" for just anyone, you don't beg your fiancé to stay and marry you if you don't love them, etc etc, s9 is a fever dream and never happened), I do also think the writers in 1x15 were uh...off their rocker, to put it lightly. The waterfront kiss haunts my nightmares. It's so OOC for Iris, and I hate it. Plus, it was the writers shooting themselves in the foot, because to this day, it invites so much ridiculous anti-Westhawne sentiment. Would it have been so hard to make that kiss happen when Barry and Iris were both single (like...between s1 and s2, or late in s2, or something)?? Because uh...neither of them were.

Ooh and here's another "writers shooting themselves in the foot" example that especially irks me: Mirror Iris. She's introduced as a villain, and at first I found her really compelling! Barry had an evil version, and now Iris did too...and I found her more compelling than Savitar tbh. She had a bit of a sympathetic/tragic aspect, but like...that's fine, so did Savitar, and he still died a villain.

But THEN. A few things happened.

They had Mirror Iris drop a line gloating about raping Barry (which was just subtle enough that a good chunk of fans don't realize this implication). Then, a few minutes later, they play up the sympathy angle, have Barry hold and reassure Mirror Iris, and she dies in his arms.

Let me repeat that. Mirror Iris gloats about raping Barry, and then moments later, he holds her as she dies.

And just like that, all my goodwill for her (at least the way she's presented in canon) immediately disappeared.

Now, this seems to have had no effect on the fandom. People still love her and make edits of her, they still call her "badass" (some say she's better than Iris but those people are transparent af and I ignore them)...they don't see an issue here. Largely because a lot of them don't realize what Mirror Iris was gloating about...and neither do the writers, it seems, seeing as Barry gets absolutely no room to discuss that he was raped and gloated to about it and held his rapist's dead body as she died. Honestly, a lot of people try to frame that as "aww he felt sad when she died, he loved her and knew she loved him, like Iris and Savitar in 3x23" which is uh...sure something!! Those two are not the same!! Savitar did not ever rape Iris!!

So like...in fairness. the "shooting in the foot" in that regard really affected me, not the fandom. They seem to have gotten exactly what the writers intended.

Like...yes, villains do bad things. But here's the thing: you cannot make your villain a rapist and a) make her sympathetic a few moments later and have her victim HOLD HER AS SHE DIES and b) never follow up!! There's a deleted scene that Westallen shippers love for some reason where Barry makes a joke about getting "reacquainted" with Iris the first night she's out of the mirror. Hello?? And I don't for a second believe that it was cut because the writers realized it was in poor taste. It was likely cut for time.

Way to make a super compelling concept absolutely gross, writers. You could've just furthered Mirror Iris's gaslighting by having her withhold affection from Barry, but whatever

on the note of Barry being gaslit and his 6b trauma, an honorable mention: they put a lot of focus on Barry realizing for sure that Mirror Iris is an imposter after she kicks him out, and they never bring up the fact that he did know in 6x11!! Literally the episode after it happens!! But Joe insists it's just normal growth (with a shocking lack of concern, wtf Joe) and Mirror Iris gaslights him. As she does repeatedly whenever he questions her. The writers do portray this pretty clearly when it happens, but they should've brought it up again later. Though I mostly blame fandom idiocy for this.

(and it's why anyone who says Barry wasn't traumatized by the Mirrorverse arc, or got too much focus about recovery, can eat my socks!! He did not get enough focus, and neither did Iris!! Both things can be true!!)

Reposting for later. Gotta go watch some flash and get back to this

Can we talk about how shitty it is for CWs The Flash to have suspensful music play when Eobard stands from the wheel chair in S2 E1?

And yeah, I'm aware that hes the bad guy. Hes Reverse Flash. But seriously? Why is it that shows always make disabled people the villains? Why do they make it so that if someone can walk without a wheelchair that them using a wheelchair automatically makes them a liar?

Am I reading too into this? Yes. But it really pisses me off. Not every disabled person needs mobility aids all the time, some dont need them at all.

Fic: The Soft Sound of Your Voice (Bucky Barnes/Laurel Lance)

Yes. Okay. Yes. I did the thing. You all knew I was going to end up here once I started going down that Bucky Barnes rabbit hole. Don't lie and say you didn't. There was no other way for this to end.

Also, this one's for the bisexuals! Because neither of these characters are straight. Let's just get that out of the way right now. Happy pride to them!

.

Title: The Soft Sound of Your Voice Fandom(s): The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, canon-adjacent MCU, Arrowverse but mostly in theory and if you squint a little, vaguely comic book-y for both Marvel and DC. Pairing: Laurel Lance/Bucky Barnes, heavy mentions of past Steve/Bucky, Bucky/Nat, Laurel/Oliver, Laurel/Nyssa, and Laurel/Bruce. Summary: In the summer of 2024, the Black Canary resurfaces in Brooklyn after being thought dead since 2016.

At the same time, Bucky Barnes – back home in Red Hook for the first time in a very, very long time – gets a new neighbor.

Or, how a human disaster full of longing and grief stumbles his way into finding himself a home and a family to call his own – all thanks to his sunny (yet secretive) new neighbor, her precocious young daughters, and a cat named Alpine.

.

Chapter One:

I Was Thinking About Coming Home

.

''Dude.'' Older girl rolls her eyes. ''Has no one taught you about the cat distribution system?''

''The what?''

''The cat distribution system.''

''That's not a thing.''

''It's totally a thing. Look.'' Somewhat reluctantly, she puts the cat down on the ground just outside his apartment. Instead of fleeing, the way cats normally do, this cat just yawns, stretches, and lazily saunters inside. Doesn't even think about running. Just walks right in like she owns the place. The girl puts her hands on her hips and gives him a look. ''So, it's like I said.'' She brushes cat hair off her black tank top. ''We found your cat.''

Bucky looks at her, open mouthed, somewhat flabbergasted. He looks back into his apartment, watching the cat trot over to the couch and jump up onto it with no hesitation. He looks back at the girls. Before he can stop it, it slips out. ''What the fu – ''

Sometimes, my dreams warn me before I get into a fandom. I was checking out a few clips of the show about Flash.

Next week, I can't get a wink of sleep for two days straight because Harrison Wells or the HR department guy, or the british detective, or whatever identity Tom Cavanagh is playing is explaining the most ludicrous theory to a ludicrous problem that Flash could solve by following the PREVIOUS ludicrous theory. Either him or the smart Criso guy that built Barry his suit.

Two days straight of restless sleep guys. What the hell is this show composed of?? And why is literally everything telling me not to watch it??

UPDATE: After a beloved mutual gave a good speech, I've decided to ignore it and watch the show. Arrowverse, here I come!

[moistvonlipwig]

should i poke the bear and ask for cwsg for the top 3 ask game? 🥴

consider the bear poked!

top 3 favorite characters: The legendary Lena Luthor, my king from the future Querl Dox, and uhhh I'm actually not sure who's third? Could be Red Daughter, could be James, could be Nia. Could even be Eve who fascinates me despite being underwritten. IDK. Depends on my mood. ...And actually if we count him as a Supergirl character and not as a walking backdoor pilot then it might just be Clark. I do like Clarky boy.

top 3 least favorite characters: Mon-El obviously, Ben Lockwood who Manchester Black should've gotten to strangle with his bare hands, and...there are several other annoying misogynists I could list here but I'm actually going to give this spot to Overgirl because it's still so baffling to me that none of the higher-ups thought, 'hey, maybe we shouldn't make a crossover where AU versions of Supergirl and Green Arrow are actual literal Nazis.'

top 3 otps: Kara/Lena, Lena/James, Brainy/Nia

top 3 notps: Kara/Mon-El is a no-brainer, Kara/William was a flop, and I can't believe it even needs to be said but. Kara/Alex. No.

top 3 brotps: Lena & Brainy my beloved <333 And I like Lena & Sam's friendship as well. Honestly a lot of the relationships in this show are great in theory but a little thin in actual execution, but I enjoy reading fanfics where Lena is good friends with Kelly, Nia, and/or iconic queen Jess the secretary. [I wish I could give a brotp for Kara but honestly I think most of her relationships suffer greatly from how they write her character.]

top 3 favorite episodes/chapters/scenes/games in series: My favorite is definitely 4.16 "The House of L." Bonus points for epic title also, like, that's an iconic pun right there. I look fondly on 4.11 "Blood Memory" as well which I think is probably Nia's strongest outing on the show and also is an episode that actually bothers to do something interesting with the Danvers sisters relationship. And in terms of episodes that are consistently entertaining I do really enjoy a significant chunk of 5.13 "It's a Super Life" although it's tainted by the terrible ending (as well as the foreknowledge of what comes after). [You might be thinking: what about XYZ Season 2 episode? To which I sadly must respond: Mon-El.]

top 3 other things u think ppl who like this thing should watch/read/play: I'm going to refrain from recommending other Arrowverse shows because I think that's too easy. But I do think my recommendations would depend on what you liked or didn't like about the show? If you like light-hearted superhero shenanigans you should watch DC Super Hero Girls (2019-2021). If you were frustrated by the show's surface-level pop feminism then you should watch Revolutionary Girl Utena (1997). If Lena Luthor's character type fascinates you then you should watch Severance (2022-ongoing). [If you're in it for Katie McGrath I can't help you, that woman was cursed by a witch long ago to only be in the worst shows you've ever heard of.]

my rating of this media out of 3, with 0 being lowest and 3 being highest: uhhh 1? idk. it's not 0
