#dimensional merge

I like how all the Mark VII Limited shows (Emergency, Dragnet, Adam 12) take place in the same universe, but there’s like one episode of Emergency where the characters are watching Adam 12? There’s only one possible explanation: The Dimensional Merge happened in the Mark VII Limited Cinematic Universe. (MVLCU)

I can’t look at this the same way anymore.

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

excerpt from the next chapter of my second Vareekla!Ant fic that no one asked for

+++

“But what if they do?” Ant stressed, voice cracking. It had started doing that more recently, and he was pretty sure it was just growing stress. Though his parents had started to give him odd looks every time it happened.

+++

Boy started turning into an outer-dimensional creature simply known as ‘demon’ in the local mythology, and immediately assumed everything weird happening with his body is becuase of that, and not because he’s at the age where puberty is a thing he’ll start dealing with

already liking that the characters are more than "the charismatic skater" and "the romantic musician" (sorry Jamal and Ryan) and I think it's probably bc they don't feel isolated from each other. like the guys have personalities that get along or clash with each other too and they show it, and it helps them feel realer than just liking the same girl or whatever

and like that's not to say they tried to give them dimensionality, like you learn about Elliot's quirks and Roberto's family and whatnot but saying something is like half of the journey. like it's cute Alex nerds out on building things but it's a whole other thing that he purposefully stays out of drama and therefore has a better relationship with Raf and also is making sure the guys don't get injured when they're jumping on the beds. like that sort of more dynamic thing is way more fun. meanwhile i couldn't tell you about any of the s6 guys' friendships other than things I've headcanoned and also marshall/ozzy (which is why I think I've started to grown to like marshall after the season is over)

(Hello Anon on the subject of consequences of soul-merging) How has Mask and Oni's transformation effected each other? And does this impact the behaviors and mannerisms of the both in the future. (It could explain the more stoic nature of the HS)

It hasn't, yet, at least not in a way that's noticeable. It takes a very long time for the residual effects to build up enough to start physically manifesting. Dusk has been hosting Midna for roughly a year now and they've only just started to exhibit the physical consequences of that (he's got her fanged smile, she's taken on some of his mellower personality traits). Mask, admittedly, broke this a little bit with the compounding effects of the three-day loop, but all the results of his transformation masks are very small and in relatively unnoticeable areas (so far, but if he keeps using them at the same rate then in about a year or so he won't be able to hide them).

Oni, on the other hand, Mask only just started hosting for, and he'd need to keep hosting for about six-to-eight more months for anything to actually start manifesting on his body. But when it does, it'll be in the form of a white shock in his bangs.

On Oni's end, it will be very hard to tell, because Oni has a curse that actively overpowers all other forms of influence, basically. But he will be more prone to smiling. (He might even laugh, at one point, which will successfully make every Link within earshot think that the world is ending and then silently swear to make him do it again as much as possible, in that order.)

...And I just now realized that I've never actually given my unspoken rule about soul merges before? Basically, the host develops a physical characteristic, and the hosted takes on personality or attitude traits. Should have clarified that sooner, my bad

since Rayonnant & Baroque switching with Shrike and Lark has already irrevocably altered the lives of a nigh-infinite number of people and universes, and these changes are becoming more and more obvious as time progresses and they veer further from their original trajectory, how long is it gonna take for another, worse problem to pop up? Maybe it’s not even be a sentient being

What I’m sayin is: are the MVs unstable, and is this going to cause dangerous (non-living) glitches and viruses?

Galaxies can merge, collide, or brush past one another — each of which has a significant impact on their shapes and structures. As common as these interactions are thought to be in the Universe, it is rare to capture an image of two galaxies interacting in such a visibly dynamic way. This image, from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, feels incredibly three-dimensional for a piece of deep-space imagery.

The subject of this image is named Arp 282, an interacting galaxy pair that is composed of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 169 (bottom) and the galaxy IC 1559 (top).

From what I understand, the pre/post Crisis breakpoint, and the (is it called Flashpoint?) breakpoint prior to New 52 were actually situations that altered the timeline or merged multiple reality versions into one mainstream timeline and reality.

I believe it's canon that some people started remembering bits of their past selves that were written out of existence during those breakpoint situations. Tim in particular remembered pre-New 52 Young Just-us Bart and Kon, who weren't actually the same people as the New 52 Bart and Kon. It's complicated and confusing.

I've also heard that the first iteration of Jason as a circus acrobat Dick-clone was a poor choice made by the writers and management. Apparently the Titans comic team wanted to use Dick, but he couldn't be in two places at once. So the Batman team wrote him out, and decided to literally write a copy replacement for Robin. Guess they hoped fans wouldn't notice or care, but fans hated the copycat replacement idea. So the writers eventually rebooted his backstory to be a street rat tire thief instead.

But as far as fanfiction is concerned, if you want to cling to redhead Jason, and still be sort of canon compliant, you can probably finagle it. You could always have him remember being a redhead/blonde, even though he's a natural black haired guy now, and be confused about it. Or remember other things from his circus acrobat Dick-clone first iteration, and be confused by memories that seem to belong to Dick.

Maybe his magic protected his memory from the timeline rewrites, or the Pit scrambled his memories so much it unlocked past timeline versions of his memories. But he's still canonically black haired now.

I think it would be hilarious if he says something about being a redhead/blonde or a circus acrobat as a kid, and everyone else is so confused and concerned if he hit his head. Because they don't remember him ever being a redhead/blonde or being a circus acrobat kid. And Bruce never made him dye his hair to be Robin, he's always had black hair. And Bruce quietly worries about if his kids think he wouldn't care about them if they didn't have black hair.

I'M DONE WITH THE LIES AND DECIET JASON TODD DOESN'T HAVE RED HAIR

Or at least he doesn't have red hair in current canon or most of the continuity and y'all should get with it.

We've all seen it, there's a post about Jason and someone comments on the post and brings up how when Jason first appeared as robin he had red hair and he had to dye it black to be robin.

This is not true in current canon and only had a brief window of existence in the comics so lets dig into the different hair colors we've seen on Jason, they are as follows:

Blonde (Pre-Crisis, before 1985)

Black (post 1985, like 23-24 years of Post Crisis?? a long time)

Red (~2 years of Post Crisis 2009-2011)

Black (New 52, 2011-2016)

Black (Rebirth, 2016 onward, current canon)

Dropping detailed receipts below and god some of these panels are wacky:

Pre-Crisis/ Golden Age - BLONDE HAIR

First appearance of Jason Todd was a little blonde circus boy like a Great Value recolored version of Dick Grayson and if I have to live with that knowledge then we all do.

A lot of people claim this version of Jason also had red hair and for anyone who wants to say this blatantly yellow hair isn’t blonde compare it to Vicki Vale’s actual red hair which is orange:

Vicki Vale (orange)

Jason Todd (its fucking yellow)

The assertion that Jason dyed his hair to be robin are not entirely false in this version, in Batman (1940) #366 Jay did dye his hair black so he could pass as Dick cause he wasn't officially robin yet but wanted to help Batman. Dying his hair made him look so much like Dick it actually did trick Batman and the Joker which is weird since Jason's like a child and Dick is like legally an adult at point but whatever. Either way it wasn’t Batman making him dye it, in fact Bruce was unhappy about it.

Blonde Jason is obviously no longer canon and hasn't been since.

Post Crisis/ Batman New Adventures - BLACK HAIR

Jason was first shown with black hair when he stole a tire off the Batmobile. This iteration of Jason's introduction is the one we all know today and is considered by most to be Jason's *real* debut.

This comic run is no longer canon but is often used as the backbone for new canon content.

Post Crisis 2009 to 2011 - RED HAIR

OK, here is where all the red hair lore comes in. During Dick's Batman run with Damian as Robin the writer (fuck you, Grant Morrison) decided to introduce this shit:

This made not only made no fucking sense in Post-Crisis continuity, but also Jason look stupid as fuck.

For some reason people have snatched this panel and held on to it with all their might. Which like - I mean, the idea of Bruce making a kid dye their hair to be robin is super fucking funny but like, c'mon dude. There are so many real reasons to judge Bruce already lmao.

Jason kept having red hair until the New 52. Its no longer canon.

New 52 - BLACK HAIR

Giving you guys all caste Jay for this shot cause I still simp for that storyline, he deserves the magic fire swords fr.

He's back to black hair and we're almost to current canon.

DC Rebirth (current canon) - BLACK HAIR

We made it to current canon and his hair is still natural black bby. LETS GO.

I stiiiiill feel like we don't talk about this enough honestly.

Take it from a guy who's tried.

He could've chosen just about any other dimension. This obsession with Earth has proven time and time again to end in failure. It was dangerous. Reckless. A risk that, when you think about it on a multiversal scale, doesn't seem all too worthwhile if a party is the only thing he wants.

What is it about Earth that is so important that he would be willing to risk everything on taking it specifically? Literally everything, by the way. If he was scared of the Edge of Reality swallowing him up, he could've just left. If he just wanted to keep the Nightmare Realm/Dimension 0 around, he could've merged it with any other dimension - there are plenty of other dimensions with beings perfectly capable of building rift-inducing totally normal dimensional portals for him. But no: He sticks around his decaying realm for as long as he possibly can because he needs Earth in particular for some reason.

You can't undo the past... unless you want to thaw a giant baby out of a glacier.

Speaking of giant babies in glaciers... there happens to be only one Time Giant left. One singular being who controls time. One singular being who can create and distribute Time Wishes. Time Wishes, which could change the past paradox-free.

What a strange coincidence, then, that this last Time Giant resides here. On this specific Earth. This specific Earth, this specific dimension that Bill is so desperate to get his hands on.

Take it from a guy who's tried.

It was never just about keeping the party going, was it?
