"Timedancer" fam doodles -- my version of Tachi, the design I think she'll have closer to canon, and a few 'Tana doodles I added color to

[rise-fall-rage-and-repeat]

What’s your pitch for a stand alone Gargoyles TimeDancer movie? Like, if you worked at Disney and let’s say, hypothetically, Gargoyles was back and kicking for a revival season and it became such a smash they wanted more, and then the TimeDancer series gets announced and your hired for a major film that’ll kickstart the show on Disney+. What would be your idea, and how would you execute that? And before we bring up the comics, they’re not canon anymore for this What If? scenario.

OMG I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS WAS SENT I JUST SAW THIS SKGNEOWKFNQKFNFNTKWKGJEJFBRJ

Anyway. So if we’re saying the comics aren’t cannon, I would probably do a similar set up to the original but explain it by saying the Phoenix is an ACTUAL Phoenix that was trapped inside the talisman that became the Phoenix gate. When it was thrown into the time stream the talisman eventually corroded and the Phoenix was able to break free.

I actually have this headcannon that the Phoenix was drawn to Brooklyn because he has some kind of dormant magical abilities. The longer he travels with the Phoenix the more his powers come to light.

But back to the movie idea, I actually really like the story that is in the comics so I would probably keep it as the plot of the movie. Assuming an accompanying series was made, I would delve into the psychological and physical trauma Brooklyn HAD to have gone through (we just haven’t seen it yet in the cannon series). There would be stories to tell along with the new scars he recieved as well as wrangling with his new found powers (I like to imagine he has fire powers cause fire is volatile and unpredictable, but strong and powerful like his character).

Through his travels he will meet with Demona on a few more occasions, eventually learning how to forgive her after seeing some of what she did indeed go through (not justifying what she’s done, but rather explaining how she became so hard and jaded to the world). However, he never fully trusts her but if, perhaps, down the line she gets a redemption arc, maybe he would be one of the ones more willing to believe she can change as he did work with her to fight a war (to the surprise of everyone).

However, as much as I LOVE Katana and Nash, I don’t know if I’d include a love arc for him or not. I think it would depend on how the story unfolded. If I DID include her, I would bring her in for like season three or four? Not right away is the big thing here. I would have her “defrost” Brooklyn a little because, perhaps, he has seen his fair share of horrors already and is on the verge of giving up hope that he’ll ever make it home. Okay yeah, now typing this all out I would include her because she would become his rock and moral compass, keeping him grounded and helping him to still be able to see the good in the world.

There would be a few times when his time dancing crossed his own timeline and he would have to do lots of ninja moves to stay away from his clan (and subsequently himself) as he doesn’t want to risk something happening to his timeline if one of them see him. Even though Goliath and Demona have said the past is immutable, he’s not going to take any chances.

Oooooo. I’d also make Griff a reoccurring character cause he needs more love and I think the two of them would work really well together based on their one interaction in the episode Kingdom. Griff has to keep secret all his interactions with Brooklyn, again to prevent anything happening to the timeline.

I would also make his absence FAR longer away from his “current time”. I’m thinking a few years. His clan doesn’t know if they’ll ever see him again just like Angela said in the comics. But maybe it’s more like 40 months vs 40 seconds (I’d keep the 40 connection cause I like the metophor).

Dimension travel is something else I would add to the story. Maybe he meets an alternate version of himself at some point? Maybe he gets transported to a dimension where gargoyles don’t exist? Or one where gargoyles are the dominant species/accepted in the human world? I feel like this scenario in particular could be very angsty because Brooklyn could have to choose if he stays in a world where he’s accepted, or keep trying to return to his family. Maybe that’s how I’d end the series. Brooklyn has to decide if he stays somewhere where life is objectively ‘easy’ (the grass is greener and all that) or risk traveling for who knows how much longer.

Thank you so much for this ask anon! This was actually really fun to brainstorm!

Spouse is playing Jedi Knight 2 (a first-person shooter) and the main character is voiced by Jeff Bennett using a very Brooklyn-ish tone. So yeah, as far as I can tell, Brooklyn is just having a little space adventure a long time ago in a galaxy far far away right next to me, saying things and grunting on occasion. It's really trippy.

My Thoughts on Gargoyles Quest Issue 4 Unequivocal Success

Finally after being delayed a few months and the digital release get's pushed back a week, I finally get issue 4 and it was worth the wait.

Spoilers

Demona starts to prepare her plan using the new 3 keys to power to control humans to obey to Gargoyles. So any Gargoyle can command all humans that are under mind control. Yeah!!! I don't think you thought this through Demona.

The spell doesn't work on Antoinette as she is already loyal to Demona. I love to know why she is so loyal to Demona. Maybe she was a Gargoyle part of the Wyvern clan in a previous life, maybe she was Hyppolyta or Antiope.

Cut to November 27th, Thanksgiving. Pretty cool to see them celebrate a different holiday,

Broadway and Angela doing the food. Broadway going to dunk the turkey!! What he's going to do, boil it or something??

Lex, Gnash and Alex are in the tv room watching news on the Parade.

Jeffrey Robbins arrives, Hudson invited him.

Brooklyn and Katana are in Rookery talking about that the egg will have the whole clan to raise her. Which raises red flags as there is a possibility of death coming. At first it look like it could be Hudson, as he was talking to the egg in Quest Issue 1. but now ,maybe it might be Brooklyn, which could be a bit controversial for some people. but even if dies, his story doesn't end, as we still got Timedancer and 2198.

Jade and Turquesa are still in New York!!! They decided to stay to help find Demona. I guess if they did leave earlier, then Avalon would have probably sent them back again. They are planning to go back to Avalon and hopefully get back home, Zafiro and Obsidiana are probably worried sick. They have to get home soon, they got over 20 eggs hatching in a few months.

Goliath and Coldfire are on patrol searching for Demona, glad to see a bit more interaction between them. Coldfire feels that she's lost her spiritualism because she's a robot but Goliath gives her some advice that she should use her heart and soul.

Wasn't surprised to hear that there are cracks starting to appear in her relationship with Coldstone. Coldfire thinks he's out looking for Demona night and day but as we all know he's been siding with her all this time. So it looks like a 2nd Gargoyle "divorce" is going to happen when Coldstone is revealed to be a traitor.

Demona starts to use her mind control spell on the humans, the first are the Jogger and William Greene and apparently they are brothers

Goliath leaves to meet Elisa at the clock tower and they have a good snog. Apparently the GTF are searching for Demona too, I wonder how much they know about her.

Demona arrives at the police station and it's obviously she's going to use her mind control spell on Elisa.

Coldfire takes Goliaths advice and she manages to use her spiritualism, which seems to work. she ends up in Time square, where the humans are already under Demona's spell.

Coldstone, who had already appeared, just stands there smirking!!! so that's it for him. As soon as everyone finds out he's a traitor, he's gone. Even if he admits to making a big mistake by siding with Demona, he's gone. He will probably end up being banished from the clan or maybe they should just switch him off and left to rust in a storage room or something. I'm done with him.

Demona and Antoinette arrive at the castle and uses the mind control spell on David, Fox and Owen and she tells Owen not to turn into Puck. Erm!!! I hope Gnash is still keeping a eye on Alex, this could be the perfect opportunity for Raven to kidnap Alex.

Lex is on the computer talking to Amp

Due to being blind, Jeffery Robbins, is not affected by Demona's spell.

Goliath arrives back at the castle, being greeted by Brooklyn and Katana but then Demona shows up with Elisa,under her spell.

Issue 5 is going to be pretty tense. I sort of excited an nervous at same time, with Angela finally confronting her Mother.

It's still scheduled to come out on December 4th, so cross fingers it won't be delayed.

[wuekka]

Waitwaitwait...Timedancer arc of Brooklyn time traveling, landing in ancient Japan, meeting Katana, falling in love and having a family...Still isn't a real media? There's a whole spin-offs worth of story, that still doesn't actually exist? Even though there's new Gargoyles comics?? And "new comics" treat the story as canon?!

Like "oh boy, I can't wait to read about how Katana joined the Manhattan clan from ancient Edo", that story doesn't exist...Why are Gargoyles comics like this??

[twisting-echo]

(Brooklyn is very protective of his swan princess mate.)

Okay, Brooklyn first met Odette when he was transported to her timeline during his TimeDancer adventures brought on by the Phoenix Gate.

He befriended her one night at Rothbart's castle lair at Swan Lake, and she told him about her curse and that as soon as the moonlight leaves the lake, she'll turn into a swan, no matter where she is, unless she agrees to marry the evil sorcerer Rothbart.

She also confided to him that every night, Rothbart visits her and begs her to marry him, and she always refuses. Brooklyn offered to take her away and ensure her safety throughout the night until dawn because he turns stone during the day.

Brooklyn also told her that once he found a way back to his timeline in Manhattan in early 1997, he'd help her break her curse.

Odette agreed to go with him and promised to watch over him while he slept in his stone slumber throughout the day until dusk because she transforms into a swan during the day.

Woo! So that is the premise of my ship that I made years ago in my childhood, and I don't know if you guys can tell, but I'm a huge Gargoyles nerd and I love the Swan Princess movie! I actually only like the first three Swan Princess movies that came out in the 1990s. Any other movies with poopy 3D animation that came out after that are dead to me.

Fun fact: both Gargoyles and The Swan Princess came out in the autumn months of 1994, 25 days apart!

SHIP NAME: Brodette. lol

owen's magic shenanigans with coldtrio, turning demona into human and letting antoinette talk to broadway (and possibly being a petty bitch and putting his hand in the couldron also) all coming back together to bite him in the ass <3 (this made me realize how puck/owen is in many ways responsible for so many important plots, like for example timedancer as the result of goliath yeeting the gate at the end of future tense. and didn't puck/owen introduce demona to xanatos too?!!

YES! YES!! YES!!! Anon I read your ask around lunch time and then I knew I had to go home and re-read Here In Manhattan because I totally forgot he let Antoinette into the castle to talk to Broadway!

...After Xanatos said he refused all access to the Eyrie Building?

Which brings to mind some questions:

Owen and Xanatos are rarely on different pages - why differ on this thing? Does Xanatos know about it? Is it part of a grander plan? A part of a Xanatos Gambit wherein he's trying to scoop the keys of power from Demona & Co?

If Owen is letting someone into the castle during lock-down is it because he thinks she has a good enough reason to be there, or...??? I'm so curious how she convinced him to let her inside, if so.

So is he a part of an important plot once again...and if so, have they calculated correctly this time, or did they underestimate Demona again like they did in City of Stone?

And you are so right! If this is all going according to Demona's plan, it really is all coming back to bite him in the ass!

Puck curses Demona -> she makes good use of her curse to maximize her scheming efforts, make new allies, and find powerful magical tools.

Puck tries to steal the Phoenix Gate to persuade Oberon to let him stay in the mortal world longer without consequence -> Goliath releases it into the time stream and the gate is lost, thereby eliminating one of the keys of power and creating vacuums for more to take it's place

Owen agrees to help Xanatos achieve immortality, while also pledging him a lifetime of service (whose lifetime?) and acquires the Cauldron of Life -> He turns his left hand to stone in the pursuit of playing his part (because I think this scene is very interesting in that I don't think it was meant to be forever because I don't think Puck thought Owen would be forever ; like you said, it was like a petty bitchy game with consequences, lmao)

Puck separates the souls of the Coldtrio (great name for them, props if you came up with it!) into different bodies -> we end up with the Coldstone + Demona situation we're in right now

And he introduced Demona and Xanatos!!! He introduced them!!! Which, given the fact that Puck's flute has been around since 5ever and maybe?? he knew Demona before he knew Xanatos??? I wonder how long they knew each other before then, if they did....

(And now she's here to - maybe -take the hand he struck in the cauldron to control the keys of power, the keys of power she's searching for since he played a big part in losing one the former ones, and she when she gets her hands on the new keys she can use them 24/7 because he cursed her. And he's immortal but bound to a form capable of being mortally wounded)

He's trapped himself inside his own narrative!

[fandomsandshipping1]

Hi, quick question.

I know you said this blog is set in an AU of sorts, but is everything still in the 90s? Or is everything more modern?

... Yes.

Honestly, anon, I am not too sure myself. It... is complicated.

I guess it's more modern, despite everyone still being the same ages as in the show/comics, and the whole "TimeDancer" stuff not happening. Yet.

Six Sentence Sunday: A Mist of Prophecies: The Party

A Mist of Prophecies: The Party

BookWorm's Library | Ao3

The ball of flame appeared inside the dark forest. It expanded then disappeared, leaving two gargoyles in the small clearing. The brick-red male dressed in a leather loincloth let go of the jade-green female dressed in a silk kimono. "Well, where and when are we?"

Sata threw her black hair over her shoulder. "We are here and now." She kissed Brooklyn's beak as he grimaced.

Summary: A Gargoyles: TimeDancer Fanfic. Brooklyn and Sata find themselves in the future, just in time for the MidSummer's Eve party given by some members of the Manhattan Clan. Members they have never met before. Well, all except one.

My whole purpose for a TimeDancer story was to foreshadow some of the things coming in stories I have planned to fit between Gargoyles: A Mist of Prophecies: Shivers the Heart to Hear (BookWorm's Library | Ao3) and TimeDancer: A Mist of Prophecies: The Party. I also wondered what happened to Jerusha after TimeDancer: Requiem. This story takes place between TimeDancer: Menagerie Part Two and TimeDancer: To the Soul, both second season episodes. I hope you enjoy the story.

[rise-fall-rage-and-repeat]

Hiii hii!!! I saw your gargoyles post and I was wondering if you would maybe want to tell me about your headcanons or OCs and I could maybe yell you mine?

OMG ABSOLUTELY! Gargoyles is like my Roman Empire so please feel free to word vomit at me!

As for me some of my head cannons include the design additions I added to Brooklyn in my most recent drawing (braids, jewelry, scars, tattoo). I feel like (and this is sort of supported by some scenes in the cartoon) when they were younger he had a tendency to protect Broadway and Lexington (I headcannon Brooklyn as hatching before them. It’s like by minutes but kind of think of it like twins where they were born the same day but the “older” one still holds it over the other’s head). Therefore he got more than his fair share of scars.

Most of my headcannons involve Brooklyn. 😅

I think Brooklyn is more traumatized than he’s letting on to from his 40 years of Timedancing. Katana knows the full extent (I believe the in timeline Brooklyn meets her fairly early on but don’t quote me on that) and does her best to help her mate. I think there were some battles he felt like he lost and more than a few casualties along the way that really stuck with him. He has the mental and physical scars now to show for it all.

Broadway writes a cookbook at some point (under a pseudonym of course), I’m sure of it. It gets super popular and earns quite a bit of money.

Lexington, even though he doesn’t turn evil like in Future Tense, does end up part cyborg maybe after an explosion he was too close to? He’s CONSTANTLY making revisions to his cybernetic parts, possibly breaking some in the process, and an exasperated Amp has to sometimes reel him in from causing MORE damage to himself. XD

This one is odd but I feel like Thailog has a weird obsession with Brooklyn. He’s the second-in-command, a good in to the clan if he ever decided joining the clan would benefit him. He keeps this idea in his back pocket.

Let me know if you’re into ABO cause I have headcannons for all of their scents.

I could honestly think of a lot more but I don’t wanna make this too long. XD I have headcannons for a lot of unspecified sexualities of the characters too if that interests you.

[vicky82gargoylesfan]

Some big announcement tomorrow, hopefully it’s about the comics, if it is, then I’m thinking it could be a new spinoff maybe TimeDancer.

[noybusiness]

If you loved the Buffy/Angel TV series and comics, then with my whole heart I should recommend watching two other character-focused masterpiece series that started on TV and received canonical comics continuations (that are still ongoing). Avatar: The Last Airbender and Gargoyles. The former was continued by Dark Horse comics. The latter was first continued by Slave Labor Graphics and is now being continued by Dynamite Comics (the Dynamite series is a direct followup from the last issue of the SLG series). Both have that certain je-ne-sais-quoi that Buffy and Angel and other truly great series have.

The "third season" of Gargoyles on air (subtitled The Goliath Chronicles) was made without the involvement of the original showrunner, Greg Weisman, and is universally agreed to be poor quality, but the comics, which are written by Weisman, totally replaced and de-canonized it (apart from the first episode of that season, the only one Weisman did write, which was retold in the first two SLG issues and then they went in a completely different direction). So I'd only recommend watching the first two seasons. They're great! More than I can convey with a written description.

The Gargoyles comics have even managed to have spinoff miniseries for two of the many spinoffs that Weisman had planned when the show was airing (namely Bad Guys and Dark Ages), with the possibility of more to come (i.e. Pendragon, TimeDancer, Gargoyles 2198, Heroes of Ulster and The New Olympians - the Gargoyles setting was originally supposed to be Disney's answer to the DC and Marvel universes).

Welcome to Buffyverse

If you can believe that, I’ve lived to my adult years (as in serious job/taxes/health insurance way) without seeing Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel. And now that this horrible mistake has been corrected, and considering the fact that half of it happened in the comics, I have to talk about this. Because all that: both shows, and their respective comic continuations, that was my life for the past month.

First of all, I have to say, I’m glad that I wasn’t a kid when I saw the shows. I wouldn’t have understood the complexity and depth of the characters and their journeys, my judgement would’ve been childish at best. And there is a chance, it would’ve turned me away from this universe. Which is not the case now, on the contrary: give me more.

The existence of this show presents a few issues: it’s a ship centric blog, and the show is heavily ship oriented. And I’m not ready for another big ship war. The first happens when you watch the shows with your best friends and you end up on different sides of it.

But I will say that: regardless of which team you end up joining, there’s no need to be reasonable. It’s not life and death.

But the second big issue is that after reading the comics, I’m left with a feeling that you have to pick and choose your canon. There are stronger and weaker seasons, and there are pretty powerful standalone issues. Like Season 6 of Angel was perfectly in tune with the show. You know this is how it could’ve ended had it been on TV longer.

And then Season 8 of Buffy is at times no less than weird, while occasionally presents you with some character insights that make perfect sense. But hey, at the end of the day it’s all optional, now we have a comic reboot that somehow still works for me.

Even more, because it takes unexpected turns at every corner, and corrects some issues that I personally might have had with the show. Either way I’m extremely happy with this addition to my obsessions, as if Marvel, certain DC and Star Wars weren’t enough.

And if anyone wants to chat Buffy and/or Angel - I’m right here.

[gargoylestimedancenonsense]
