#cain's way to hell! [ cain. ]

[eyesremain]

[Martyn still had one friend left that wasn’t 30 million blocks away, or now hated his guts.]

“Cain?”

[He called out, voice scraping against his throat from disuse. He hoped this’d work, it let him communicate with Vast a few times, after all.]

@itlw-mailbox

He appeared as soon as he was called, towering over Martyn. His eye staring at him through the crack of the mask.

YES, MARTYN?

[science-lings]

so the Dark Knights of Steel didn't give any of the robins backstories or heavily defined characteristics and I want to change that. I love a good fantasy AU and the batfam. What could go wrong?

[sunny-knight]

…but…but- but you pushed it- what do you mean you wouldn’t push it-

I feel like these 2 scenes greatly contradict each other, the first I thought was establishing that Zooble is in some way afraid of what Caine would do if he didnt like them, so theyre not looking to give him a reason NOT to.

But then here they’re pushing him, and not reacting to his incredibly sudden blow up. I discussed this with my sister to which she suggested that maybe the blow up happened only in Caines head which im not against, but still doesn’t explain Zoobles pushing him.

Perhaps they’ve just grown used to this because more therapy sessions have happened since ep 4, but if that were the case why wouldn’t they show that or have a line about it?

[sidesteppostinghours]

ok. question.

ortega ended up hallucinating sidestep after they "died", but sidestep doesnt know about that. they know it got bad, but never the full extent of how their death affected them. so if your sidestep Did learn, if they found out ortega looked for them in every little piece they could, would that change anything for your sidesteps? would their relationship with ortega be any different?

there is not enough femslash in batcest circles. the girls deserve to be just as weird about each other as the boys are. if BruDick gets to be weird father/son/brothers/lovers/friends/rivals/soulmates then it is only fair that Babs/Cass get to be mother/daughter/sisters/lovers too. Something about that deep intrinsic but undefinable love that is born out of trauma, especially if you consider Cass not knowing what healthy love looks like in the first place. i think it's fun and deserves just as much fandom content.

besides that, you can get even more niche with rarepairs like Helena/Steph. Huntress/Spoiler: Blunt Trauma is already a fantastic comic and even though it's their only real canon interaction it has so much potential. very comparable to TimJay in how Helena tries to get Steph to understand her morals and the corruption you could play with it.

batman: huntress/spoiler: blunt trauma (1998)

that comic also highlights on how both Steph and Helena are outcasts of the Batfamily and don't have the approval of Bruce to be doing what they do in "his city". I think there's so much Potential in Helena taking Steph under her wing because Bruce won't let her in and it becomes a weird codependent toxic sapphic mess. I think the protectiveness Helena feels over Steph from the get-go is so clear and the way she wants to look out for Steph, wants to make sure Steph understands the real world? I love them. Helena should be allowed to steal Steph, actually. I think it'd be fun.

there are a lot of other possibilities too like Babs/Steph or even getting weird with Helena Bertinelli/Helena Wayne and the existential question of "is it selfcest or not." But these two specifically live in my head rent-free, especially Helena/Steph and one day I'll convince everyone else to ship it too.

[Delilah likes her walks, however, she walked a little too far, one moment, she was merely strolling around hermitcraft, exploring unloaded chunks and then- oh?]

[She had no idea where she was, nor any words to describe it other then off putting.]

[But she was never one to judge a book by its cover!]

“Hello?”

[Delilah called out, wandering further into the place.]

WHAT PURPOSE DO YOU HAVE IN THE DOMAIN OF THE ALL SEEING, WANDERER?

RELIGION? IN MY DSMP? MORE LIKELY THEN YOU THINK

Anyways would you like to have a debate like Ancient Greek scholars about religious imagery on the DSMP

“…and every revival only births a perversion of the original, and yet a return to form and renewal of the mission. Wilbur brought back to ambition, Tommy to fear, Techno to anarchy. This is because they were not properly revived through holy means, instead in symbols associated with satanic imagery; a grimoire, a totem. The revival book’s association with Dream echos ideas of Satan offering power that ultimately corrupts. Other symbols of Christianity show up beyond souls, revival, and satanic imagery, likewise tied to Dream. In the garden of Eden—”

“Golden apple as a symbol of the temptation of power! Of course of course! Knowledge as power, the fall of man from grace. This shows particular on the summit meeting between Techno and Dream, wherein a god apple is given by Dream. This falls neatly into parallel with Eden, where Eve is lured with the promise of having the same wisdom and thus power as god. It is the temptation presented, power promised in the same breath as suffering and conflict…”

“Why are Digital Circus Fans upset over the new Maid Jax Merch?” Devil’s Advocate: At the risk of putting words in strangers’ mouths, I have a theory that some fans find the merchandising pointless, NOT inherently because it’s pointless merchandising, but because the humor upon which the visual gag relies is just ever so slightly distasteful. Jax makes it explicitly clear to Pomni that he values his masculinity (or, at least what's left of it in a reality he has little control over). Of what little he has left from being (presumably) human in the past, he is trying. Putting Jax in a maid dress for laughs while he's clearly uncomfortable in it OUGHT to be treated the same as vitriol as dead-naming a trans person. Yes, Jax is a jerk. No, clearly he doesn't respect other people's boundaries, either.  Deliberate misgendering based on mood is one Hell of a boundary to cross.  I dunno whether that’s a boundary that *should* be crossed.  My short answer is “Never - not even your worst enemy. That boundary should only be reserved for folks actively harming people and only if it’s part of a psyop to neutralize said perp. Neither gender should be used as a slur to insult anyone.” But meh. Satan doesn’t pay me enough to elaborate further. Not til next week. It’s just low, imo.

[ethereal-feline]

ok so I started watching the Devil May Cry anime on Netflix, on episode 2 because I wanna savor this as long as possible, and besides what feels like awkward pacing/dialogue its so far been alright as someone who knows very little/nothing about the games and watched like 1 episode of the other anime.

anyways Dante is my chaotic gremlin boi, stop touching his stuff, let him hunt demons in peace so he can come home to pizza and video games.

[wackywatchdotcom]

ohhhhh man like for a while ive been on board w the idea that kinger if he was a bug that hed be a moth and i mostly like it bc it creates a good contrast between him and queenie, plus moths being associated w phototaxis, and how often kinger gets shown w butterflies being kinda evocative of him n queenie. but i was watching a panel and sean mentions the idea of kinger being a rhinoceros beetle. which is ALSO cute. but the idea of the horn being the cross made me have the epiphany that kinger should be!!! a treehopper!!!!!!

i mean for one they have a similar funny horn situation that can easily be designed to look like the cross. but more IMPORTANTLY!!! is that some treehoppers exhibit mutualism with ants (!!!) BUT!!! also some treehoppers are presocial, aka they will live communally and take care of young and its SO SO fitting w his outlook that a bug that hed be a bug that takes care of each other....

(also theyre SUPER jumpy which is FITTING TOO. and they have HUGE EYES)discussion

[stillwithmeisonlyyou]
