#and also tying it to sentinel wanting to be magnus

[ghostiepines]

What is it like to be the last one left? A group of three, two dead and you alone remain. You moralized yourself to prevent this from ever happening again, from losing someone else—and then he goes and dies after finding something no low level repair crew should have found. And before that, how much of your interactions was hurt because she was gone and he didn’t let you know for sure? It was your fault you were all there but couldn’t he have at least let you keep looking—let you bring her home? And of course things would go the same way now, huh? That you’d lose him too in way where you’ll never know for certain, if he died slow or was gone in an instant. You go to the bar with no one, because no one else but them ever cared to break through the defensiveness you were named after (Or maybe you simply didn’t let anyone else in, because until you make the decisions, everyone around you is at risk and you can’t save them). You have a job though, and maybe that’ll distract from it all.

(in fifty years he’ll resurface and you’ll shove it all down. In fifty years you’ll find out she lived too, forever changed—he made you abandon her, or was it that this was all your fault? You’ll see him and something will twist in you. Anger, regret, sorrow. A cycle of you and him pushing and pulling—does it end with you as friends? Does it end like it did before he disappeared? A steady decay into never speaking outside of bitter words while you compete for the one thing that you gripped onto when they were both gone?)

[transformers-spike]

Who would be the kinkiest transformer in your opinion?

Oh god this is such a hard question to think about. In TFP I'm split between quite a few. Wheeljack feels like an absolute freak to me. No way in hell he isn't into testing the limits of your human frame and seeing just what he can do with you - bonus points if there are explosions in the background. I haven't gotten to Ultra Magnus properly but no way someone so professional and by-the-book isn't kinky as hell in private. Work is work, but when it's break time it's pound time. Decepticons tend to get a bit wilder. For example, Megatron is a certified freak. No normal bot would be running their glossa over their human like that, nor beating their spike sloppy style with a steel rod inside of it while eating their human out. Chances are he'll even ask/order them to sound him - lube not included. Knock Out is obviously high on the kinky list, and he's happy playing the active or passive role as long as his human partner knows what they're doing. He's by far the most open to trying out new kinks as long as they don't get gross. Oh did I say Knock Out was the most open? Ha! Nope - Breakdown is even more open and willing to play along with whatever his partner needs/wants. Just remind him to keep his own wellbeing in mind, he's very willing to please and extremely receptive to praise. TFA is a bit easier to figure out Prowl is obviously very willing to try new things, especially if you already know about them. Bondage? Do you need him to learn rope-tying techniques? He's already putting in the research. Whatever kink you introduce he's going to study up on it and ask you why you're interested in it. By the end you've started your spiritual journey in the land of kink Sentinel has something going on I'm sure of it - no way in hell he's grossed out by fleshies purely for their organic frames. There has to be more to it. I'm telling y'all he's a closeted human fucker with a secret pregnancy kink - but he'll never find out unless he actually gives in and fucks Blitzwing's Random personality is the kinkiest out of everyone. I'm not sure what you were expecting, but bro can lick the earth you stepped on and get off to it. Also he's probably into vore

TF:One Sentinel Prime. Bro obviously has too much money and time on his hands.

[alexanderlightweight]

omg I'm obsessed with your new Sentinel/Guide AU, currency of fate. (And I love your brain's decision to go 'can't pick. make new instead!' lol)

I would be utterly delighted if I could request another installment of that series, maybe set a decade or so in the future with Magnus seeing Alec for the first time, or vice versa? (Alec feels sneaky enough in this to get into Pandemonium undetected if he wants to.)

Thank you so much as always for writing and sharing - you make my week every time! :) [Writer's choice for sfw/nsfw]

hi laws, ty because I got really excited over the idea of Alec being born online and Magnus' magic haunting the narrative ^_^ look my brain says 'oh a fork in the road? bet! we're jumping off the cliff and rolling down the whole way'.

and thank you for prompting and reading! also another prompt came in for same verse so the part like a year after this is here

I hope you enjoy <3

lumine

Alec really doesn’t know why he’s not allowed to go into certain parts of New York.  Oh there’s no rule or law, but there are unspoken and ever changing lines that the shields around his mind and Jayr react to.

They allow more the older he grows and so Alec knows it has to be something important, for the future. Except it’s the one thing that tempts him, to push the boundaries of where he’s allowed to go by the shields.  They tighten around him protectively — possessively — whenever Alec goes somewhere they don’t like or someone from an Idris pride approaches him.

Most guides train to work with their sentinels by choice, but the assumption here is that Alec’s sentinel will join him. Unbonded sentinels come to see him regularly, mostly women though the prides are stubborn enough that they’ve also sent a few interested men despite the Clave’s protest.

Nothing and no one Alec’s met has ever registered as remotely interested in, let alone comfortable with.  In order to let the magic made shields in his mind go down, Alec will have to want someone else to be that close to his mind instead.  Nothing in him has been convinced by any person thus far, hence his solitary journey as youngest and only solo head to an Institute so far.

There’s only so long he’ll be allowed to stay both HOTI and unbonded but Alec doesn’t feel the urgency of seeking a pairing just yet. Someday the constant parade of sentinels will begin to wear on him more than it does, yet there are other things that keep Alec's attention.

At nineteen the magic doesn’t try quite as hard as usual to stop him and Jayr’s growls aren’t sincere enough to stay his feet and Alec slips through the invisible boundaries. 

His instincts guide him deep into Brooklyn and even to the wardlines of Pandemonium. A club that Alec knows belongs to the local Archon.

Alec shouldn't, he knows that but it doesn’t stop him from slipping inside just deep enough to see the sentinel whose magic guards Alec’s mind.

He’s beautiful.

High Warlock Bane, the Sentinel Archon of a territory so vast that even the Clave was unsure of the boundaries. 

Alec nearly steps out of the shadows and towards him.  There’s an allure to his very presence that Alec wants to bask in.  The thought is enough that the magic of his shields finally reacts and Alec hopes for a moment that Bane will see him, notice him through the crowds and magic and wards and even Alec’s own shields.

Instead something pushes him back into the darkness, a solid nudge from something both heavy yet soft, the scent of fresh snow lingering around him as he finds himself back on the Institute steps.

“Did I just get portaled?” He asks Jayr, because that shouldn’t be possible and yet deep red eyes watch him silently, bold with amusement. There’s no answer in Jayr’s gaze and Alec already knows he’s lost any hope of another chance.

He’ll just have to wait for whatever the wards and Jayr are waiting for, now.

With that in mind Alec reaches out, the boundaries of the world limited only by the abilities of his mind. It felt a little like flying, letting his mind brush out over the streets of New York and Alec stayed apart from them even as he assessed the general state of the City.

While there is little he can actually do, unbonded and alone as he is, it's still better to know what's going on than to wait for a surprise.

With that in mind, Alec steps into his shower and opens the bottle of shampoo that is his favorite. The amber liquid is thick and rich in scent and while Alec knows that it's handmade, he hasn't been able to figure out who makes it or where it's coming from. The wards are at fault, but Alec can't be mad when the scent soothes some of the loneliness he sometimes feels.

-

Cahya: excuse you, why is he even here? we discussed that

Jayr: ... we could let them meet a little early. a year isn't much.

Cahya: ... and you thought pandemonium would be a good idea? Magnus would kill everyone in here first.

Jayr: alec's getting too powerful too quickly, I know we wanted him fully awake and with all of his powers active before they met but it could be years and we can't wait that long.

Cahya: we agreed twenty or with all his powers awake. he's not twenty yet.

Jayr: I still can't believe you just shoved him through your shadow and made a portal out of it.

Cahya: Magnus nearly caught his scent, so be more careful. at this point, we'll be lucky to make it another year -

they're trying to get Alec to twenty because it's healthy for guide brains to be aware of other beings around them but from how possessive the shield made from Magnus' magic is, it's unlikely that Magnus will let many things interact/touch Alec's mind after they bond without that layer of 'himself' present. basically it's making sure alec's personality is stable and formed. which like, is definitely true. he'll always be pretty easily influenced by Magnus but that's also his personality. there was no helping that.

[warmhorizonss]

May I humbly ask for bee carrying bulkheads sparklings? He’d be so cute all big

Look, anon, I've not had time to draw much Bulkbee at all because of college but I've got something. Lemme just dust off the cobwebs off of this, anon.

The fic I wrote these plotlines for is still brewing in development hell because of how similar I think it is to Kintsugi. I haven't written much besides a few one shots. I do think this fic would make for a good contrast against Kintsugi though. I feel like it reflects Bumblebee in a different manner than Kintsugi would. I'm not too sure what to call this AU either. I think Biomorphism would be a nice title because it's art related like Kintsugi and it means life form.

So, onto the juicy bits:

After a ill-advised hook up after they defeat Megatron, Bumblebee finds out that he's pregnant with Bulkhead's child. He loses his shit and he has a panic attack over telling Bulkhead. He goes to Prowl for help, and the ninjabot is the one who sets him straight. Bumblebee tells Bulkhead, who is nervous. He's pretty insecure, after all. Bumblebee reassures him that he'll be a great sire because of how kind and caring - yet stern and patient he is.

Everything seems to be okay at first. Living in Detroit, Bumblebee joins a support group for pregnant people. The group is surprisingly accepting of him as a pregnant male-presenting robot alien. He also makes some online friends who are also having their kids around the time of his due date. He has a blog where he documents his thoughts and feelings.

Yet, Bumblebee and Bulkhead seem to keep dancing on the edge of being in a committed relationship and just being friends.

While getting together and shacking up seems so obvious to most everyone, Bumblebee and Bulkhead just don't know what to make of their relationship. While Bumblebee and Bulkhead are intimate with each other on a deep emotional level, Bumblebee doesn't want to hold back Bulkhead from achieving his goals. He knows he's been a bad friend in the past. The tension between them builds on and on as Bumblebee's carrying cycle progresses onward until it all comes tumbling down.

Everything comes to a head when Bulkhead reveals that he turned down a job offer with the City of Iacon to stay on Earth with Bumblebee and their child. Bumblebee feels like he's tying Bulkhead down, and the guilt overwhelms him. He decides to tell Bulkhead that he wants a break from everything until he can figure out everything with the sparkling.

(that's all I've got)

Anyway, PLOT BUNNIES!

Sari throws a baby shower for Bumblebee and Bulkhead. Team Magnus attends and Sentinel Prime takes a moment with Jazz to talk about how much times have changed.

Only a few weeks away from the arrival of their sparkling, Bumblebee and Bulkhead have a nice picnic date together awyay from the world.

Towards the end of his carrying cycle, Bumblebee begins nesting. He becomes sort of a neat freak. He ends up over-exerting himself cleaning. Prowl and Bulkhead help him relax and clean the base before the sparkling arrives.

Bulkhead paints a very pregnant Bumblebee's stomach as practice. Their growing sparkling kicks around as Bulkhead works, interupting Bulkhead's workflow. Bumblebee is very amused.

Bumblebee, suffering from the effects of carrier coding, begins to have crying episodes. Bulkhead has to comfort him and help him cheer up.

The Legend Of Shadybug

For @blossomkittenrosie (the Creator of this AU) ty for requesting to write this!!

Marinette awoke with her head pounding as she opened her eyes and looked around confused, all she remembered as an explosion and her partner's miraculous flying into her hand before her head banged on the floor, knocking her out.

She looked at her hand and saw that it looked robotic and was yellow! She stood up and looked all around her body and saw that it was a form of a robot and had a yellow paint job with a few black stripes. She looked around at the new world she was in and did not panic for some reason, she realized that this new world could be her chance to start a new life and quickly went around exploring the new world.

After a few months in this world, she became incredibly bored and decided to sign up for the Auto Boot Camp to erase that boredom. She had a new name from the drill instructor which she dubbed;

Mr.”Ego-Bigger-Than-His-Astro-Sized-Chin”, her new name was Bumblebee! While the boot camp was somewhat stressful for her, she made some friends with the giant green bot named Bulkhead and was pretty neutral with Longarm. She didn’t like Wasp and Ironhide one bit as they were such jerks to her and she would ever much like to pummel them into the ground if it didn’t mean she would get sent to Stockades for that. Later on during her time at boot camp, she heard a conversation with Longarm and a bot named Megatron take place, she learned that Longarm’s real name was Shcokwave and that he had been a Decepticon spy this whole time!

After that, she didn’t say anything on the matter for she simply wanted no part in this, Wasp however immediately pointed her out as the Decepticon spy but she said that if she was the Decepticon spy, she would’ve taken them out already. Bulkhead was always there for her when Wasp’s attempts to call her out as the spy went to the extreme, she was happy to have such a great friend like Bulkhead and always assured her friend that nothing would happen to her. It wasn’t until a Decepticon device was found in her locker and everything went to slag.

”I’m innocent! Innocent I tell you!!” She screamed. She caught Wasp giving a smug smile and instantly yelled at him that she would find him and out his spark and have him watch it flicker out in her hand. As soon as she was imprisoned in her cell, she screamed with all her might and cursed at Wasp for trapping her in here. Eventually after a mere few minutes she decided to finally use the Ladybug Miraculous after such a long, long time. She transformed into Shadybug and instantly went out for the boot camp to get her revenge on Wasp.

Sentinel tried to have the others evacuate and tried to stop her. Shadybug simply used her Lucky Charm and defeated him with ease.

”Pathetic and you call yourself a great warrior,” She spat at Sentinel. Her gaze went towards her ‘classmates’ but she focused her gaze on Wasp and looked at him with such rage that it would make even Unicron quiver in fear. Bulkhead immediately shielded the others and yelled at Shadybug to stop this madness. She froze and looked up softly at her friend before some of the Elite Guard came to stop her. With a small “Tch..” she used a Lucky Charm to make something big enough to shield Bulkhead and started to fight the Elite Guards. Ultra Magnus then appeared and also tried to stop her, however he came down with a single punch to the gut and made everyone freeze and look at her with shock as she easily defeated the strongest of the Autobots. At that moment she was deemed the most dangerous being of all of Cybertron, right before she fled, she looked down at the old warrior and said to him with a blank and empty look and said,

”You are so lucky that I listened to my only friend to ‘stop this madness’,” As she disappeared into the air, the others watched in shock and fear at what they just unleashed onto their home. Shockwave, on the other hand, felt like she had just taken his breath away and his spark was beating fast but not in fear as he started to make up some plans for the future. Wasp joined a Repair Crew with Bulkhead after all that, not wanting to think about how himself, the others, and even Ultra Magnus himself had almost died because of him. Shadybug was on top of a rooftop simply staring at the view below, before she started to softly cry at the normal life she would never have. She heard something from behind her and turned around to see Longarm standing behind her. Before she could say anything Longarm raised up his servos as a sign of peace.

”Bumblebee, listen, I want to show you something and please don’t freak out..” She watched as Longarm shifted into his true Decepticon form of Shockwave and was about to explain himself before Shadybug raised up her own servo.

“Look, I know who you are and what you do, I heard that conversation with you and Megs a few months back and I really don’t care that you’re a Decepticon,” She explained. Shockwave felt his spark beat faster and when she asked why he had planted the device in her locker, he said that he accidentally left it there when he was almost caught. From his tone, it seemed like he was telling the truth so she believed him.

”Are you willing to join the Decepticon side?” Shockwave asked. She instantly said yes and explained that she wanted to do nothing but burn the Autobots to the ground for what they did to her. Shockwave told her the time that they’ll be meeting Megatron and said to be there on time.

“You know me Shocky, I wouldn’t miss a chance like that for the world!” With that being said, they went their separate ways, at least for now…

[the-prophet-lemonade]

When you were first outlining Cold Night, how did you decide to divide up the chapters? What drove your decisions to break off in the places you did? (Did you always know it would be 18 chapters, and that the breaks would be where they were?)

when i first wrote the fic (back in 2018), i didn’t bother breaking it up into chapters (as originally it was meant to be a 50k oneshot lol), so there was a point where i had a single google doc that was like 300k words and super slow to load and impossible to scroll through ... which obviously broke my computer, so that’s when i had to break up the story into parts hahaha

i started by breaking the story up into six acts, based mainly on the key plot points and alec’s mental state and personal journey:

act 1 is chapters 1-4, basically encompassing the beginning and all the necessary exposition and introduction to the characters, as well as establishing the murder mystery aspect of the plot

act 2 is chapters 5-7, which are the main building blocks of the plot, introducing valentine and johnathan, beginning with the fire at the church and ending with alec’s encounter with the pyro and nightlock (tying up the four distinct sides of the love square)

act 3 is chapters 8-10, and explores the subplots in more detail (i.e. simon, luke, herondale) and ups the stakes for the corporates, including alec’s shooting and then the first kiss between sentinel and nightlock in ch 10 , which in my head is a big shift in both the fic and for alec’s worldview 

act 4 is chapters 11-13 and looks at the shifting relationship between alec/magnus and sentinel/nightlock and how the lines are blurring for all of them, ending up with magnus deciding he has to put nightlock and the city first 

act 5 is chapters 14-17 and covers the fallout of magnus’ decision and the subsequent events that all happen in very quick succession: the fire at the tribunal, the decision to break from idris, the terror attack, the kidnapping ... i think these chapters span about 4 days in the fic hahaha

act 6 is chapter 18 and stands alone as it represents a completely new direction and sense of self for alec, looking to the future and finally free of all the shackles of idris, now open and honest with nightlock/magnus

these existed as 6 separate documents for a long time, and i really only broke them up into chapters when it came time to edit and post! i divided each act into chapters based on narrative arcs ... i’m very eager to have my chapters encompass a singular idea and often each update uses a particular metaphor or reoccurring image to tie the chapter together, acting as a spine of sorts. 

i like to have my characters achieve *something* in each chapter in terms of their personal development, so that pretty much dictated the chapter breaks ... you’ll notice most breaks happen either at cliffhanger moments OR at plateau moments where alec has learned something crucial about himself (be it negative or positive), which is always followed by him building upon that knowledge in the following chapter, delivering him to the next “step” or plateau by the end of the subsequent chapter, if that makes any sense at all hahahaha

i also like long chapters and don’t enjoy it when a single chapter only contains one or two scenes with no real plot development. so when i was dividing up my acts, i would look at the overall word count and roughly split that into 20,000 word chunks and then see where the best moments around those markers were to break ... obviously this varied a lot, as some chapters are much shorter (around 15k) and others much longer (34k)! 

i think originally there were meant to be 19 chapters because ch 11 or 12 should’ve been divided into two (whichever one of those is the really long chapter, i forget), and in hindsight i should’ve done that, but i think 18 is a nicer number than 19 lol (and i wanted the fic to be done quicker haha)

Dynamite Entertainment is proud to announce that classic television’s incarnation of The Green Hornet is set to make his return with an unexpected new partner in the pulp character’s latest cross-over miniseries, The Green Hornet ’66 Meets The Spirit, featuring revered comic writer/artist Will Eisner’s famous two-fisted crimefighter. Written by Fred Van Lente (Archer & Armstrong, Cowboys and Aliens), with art by Bob Q (Kings Quest), The Green Hornet ’66 Meets The Spirit #1 arrives in stores this July!

#gallery-0-7 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-7 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-7 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-7 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

The Green Hornet is back and on the case! With his aide Kato and their rolling arsenal, The Black Beauty, by his side, The Green Hornet is ready to face the toughest of challenges! On police records a wanted criminal, The Green Hornet is secretly Britt Reid, owner/publisher of The Daily Sentinel. Reid and Kato have traveled to Central City to participate in the futuristic World’s Fair, and to get the skinny on the new and potentially dangerous “Newspaper of Tomorrow“, a device capable of predicting headlines before events happen.

Writer Fred Van Lente says, “I’m very excited to link these two iconic characters. The Spirit has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, and the opportunity to pair Will Eisner’s legendary creation with a character that has an actual year in its name allowed me to age The Spirit cast fourteen years forward. In our world, the Spirit hasn’t been seen since 1952 (the year the strip ended) but suddenly this new guy has appeared in the mask and hat — one who will look pretty familiar to longtime fans. Who is this guy, and why has he returned? This is the mystery Green Hornet and Kato must solve.”

Fred Van Lente is the #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning writer of comics like Dynamite’s The Mocking Dead and Magnus: Robot Fighter, Archer & Armstrong (Harvey Award nominee, Best Series), Action Philosophers!

Artist Bob Q says, “I’m incredibly excited to be working with Fred Van Lente who has written a script that’s fun all the way through. Artistically, my plan is to capture that spirit as best I can with a series of ham-handed pencil and brush strokes. What I’m really striving for, though, is to shake up masked-vigilante fashion. It’s time to trade in spandex onesies, capes, and pouched belts and get back to some nicely tailored suits and fedoras. If you’re going to fight crime, do it with some class.”

“The Green Hornet and Will Eisner’s The Spirit have been incredibly successful properties for us, thanks to these characters’ dedicated and eternal fan base,” says Nick Barrucci, Dynamite CEO and Publisher. “We’re thrilled that after many decades in print, the characters are still able to resonate with fans – both old and new – across the globe, and now courtesy of a titanic team-up of their trademark trench coats!”

The debut issue of The Green Hornet ’66 Meets the Spirit features a wide selection of cover variants, providing fans and retailers with the freedom of choice! The cover artwork features the talents of the award-winning husband and wife team, Mike and Laura Allred (Batman ’66, X-Force, iZombie), Ty Templeton (Batman 66, The Simpsons) and Javier Pulido (The Amazing Spiderman, Robin: Year One), respectively. Limited variant editions in “Black & White” and “Virgin Art” formats are also available as retailer incentives for comic shops that support the launch issue by achieving stocking thresholds.

The Green Hornet ’66 Meets the Spirit #1 will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ May 2017 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in July. Comic book fans are encouraged to reserve copies with their local comic book retailers. The Green Hornet ’66 Meets the Spirit #1 will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Dynamite Digital, iVerse, and Dark Horse Digital.

Oh, watchcartoononline, why don't I ever refer to you first? Just, uh, ignore the ads. I forget they're there, having blocked the hell out of them long ago There we go! Beautiful! The end. That is not really a warning. hello! Hello! Whoop, glowy eyes of foreboding! And then they drowned. Shoosh. Uranium! Either that, or we forgot another relic on Earth. Earth is like a gosh-darn magnet for anything you carelessly shoot into space for some reason It may be due to Unicron being the core. He attracts chaos. Is that a shrine probably Oh my gosh Oh my gosh he's like Linguistics Mulder He does not realize this is always a setup to being murdered. At least he's being delightful about sending Milo off to almost-certain doom They really go all out on every facial expression. They do! I do not trust this weird human. omg kity This little human's adorable. Does he have a match in his mouth Hello main villain, probably That's not a trustworthy chin. No indeed. Exactly. Why was he crossing his digits behind his back? Oh my god what .... Apparently Milo's body belongs to the crew and they'd like to make that clear right off the bat. It's like everyone on this ship stopped giving even a single shit. Serpents do not have limbs. Not with THAT attitude, they don't She taunted Murphy. Well, that man is dead. And now they all die. oh, yeah, this movie has an incredible body count Excellent. Fun! This thing sure is... crabby. Good to get the cannon fodder out of the way early. That way no one misses them. yeah, it's really put them in a pinch Something something... shell? How fortunate they are that the air is still breathable down there. That's nothing, don't you remember Treasure Planet Treasure Planet had 'space technology' as a cheat. hahahha Awwww. dude, ASK qué es esto Wheeljack! Red! Hello, hello same ... Fireflies. Of course. Uh Oh What about, uh Their explosives And then they died. Heh. i like this guy Well Convenient power in the short term, but overuse will give you cancer. uhhh Shhh, shhh, that's definitely how language works. The surface dwellers also introduce new viruses into the local population. why is that human magnus Called it We don't trust his chin. I'm pretty sure that's going to turn out to be an enormous slur on Magnus GOOD Peaceful explorers, with lots of explosives I do not like the king's voice. Does this story really require the little ratman? heh. that's a man???? Who wouldn't want a story with a bizarre earth-fetishist rat-man Without the ratman, who else would grind in the obnoxiousness? i feel like my boy the explosives guy could give us everything beepbeep How does the linguist fail at pronouncing a name given to him? i think humans have a tongue swelling thing when they see someone pretty Less Ratman and Dr. Touches, more explosive human. more explosions general bring on the booms A convenient history of Atlantis. And then he died of the bends. Tragic. Shoosh, the bends don't exist, just like there's magically fresh air down here oh frag Whoop damn Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal, Magnus. Indeed I'm tellin' ya, the mech's gonna turn OH a BIG STATUE Or maybe, uh literally in his head His eyes DO look kinda crystally yeah so do mine Well, that looks safe ...Oh. It's because he looked This is probably not a good sign. Ohhhhhh my This is probably fine. Huh. It was fine. ALSO probably fine W What flowers why Smoke up what air they have left. That's helpful. Nobody we knew I love explosives human. How are they planning on getting back to the surface? OH HEY Oh great there goes alpha trion He sounds like Sentinel. I dislike it. He got that story out pretty smoothly for someone half a minute from death. He died on purpose, to get out of dealing with this mess. explosives guy is high all day every day Truly your spirit human. i love him They just so happened to bring tiny planes with them. Just in case. apparently! You never know when you're going to need tiny planes under the ocean. HA ohhh brutal How is she alive after that She did not survive that fall. damn magnus hahahaah his face oh scrap hahahah wow Nice wow Here comes Magnus! now magnus can't talk scrap about me bein' on crystals Hah! And they flood Atlantis with lava. Perfect. Well then They have known each other for about two hours. But it felt like three. ha GIVE HIM A HUG. Now wash that hand. That hand will never be clean. oof seaspray used to crack my spinal strut over his leg if i whined about it enough Nice. "But we WON'T say that, because it's SECRET" how did humans put magnus and me in this so well Dumb luck. There's apparently an awful sequel. technically it's actually three episodes to a tv show that got canned before it made it to air, and they thought they'd flog it direct to video Can we go about our lives, without suffering through the awful sequel? technically it's actually three episodes to a tv show that got canned before it made it to air, and they thought they'd flog it direct to video Can we go about our lives, without suffering through the awful sequel? Or will knowing it is out there haunt us relentlessly? uho h I'm up for it if you folks are. Welllllllll... Sure, I have not been tormented enough. Sure, why not watch something to viciously mock It probably is not worse than the pig sequels. Nothing could be worse than the pig sequels. Gotta run, Red. Thanks for the party Always a pleasure! See you! Behold! Atlantis on a tenth of the budget And then they died. Remember those beautiful shots from the first movie? None of that here! Lava whales. Lava whales. Of course. So it heals rock, too? I should know better than to ask why, and yet, it is the only question. Wasn't that thing... bigger? You probably aren't. Oh, it's crying His rock looks upset at what his city has become. their smiles look unnatural She looks weird OH JOY. A PET MASCOT The lava tubes. And a giant crab. No. Not allowed. Ew. I hate their relationship. All the food is just, like. Bowls of dyed pasta. You live in Atlantis, you eat noodles. Forever. Oh, Kida, what have they done to you? That's ridiculous They live UNDER THE OCEAN Surely they're familiar with, like, swimming, floating, drowning Yes, make sure you bring the animal with you. Where would they be without their mascot Perhaps less drowning. The real kraken is that grim faced weirdo. Gettin' a little Shadow Over Innsmouth here ewwww, don't touch it t's like watching animatronics Why do they even have an inn if they hate visitors so much what's with her FACE . . . She cannot actually focus on anyone. Will-o-wisps? Heh Rat-man's grimace will follow you to your dreams I despise everything about Rat-man. W...what Maybe he just has one of the magic life-extending crystals I hate that Rat-man is contributing more than he ever did in the good movie. He should never move the plot forward. and yet, he is "Ha, now you can't complain that he's useless!" I will complain regardless. Kray-ken. It like... patted him gosh, maybe he's not the one in charge here I never thought a story about a tentacle monster could be so unappealing. Stop moving the plot forward, Rat-man! How dare he contribute? And they crush their friend with roof debris. Gasp. Uh... ... Ominous. I thought there was going to be a twist where it was a tiny tentacle monster they do not get paid enough for this Also I feel like nothing was really... explained Of course it wasn't. Milo who showed up three weeks ago knows more than her, of course. Are they just planning on investigating nonsense around the world? Why not use the magic healing crysta on him Too much work. gosh it's ALMOST like the coyotes are MADE OF SAND, animated by some magic force Jinkies! ... This bit is older than I am. Oh, Kida... So there's no theft in Atlantis, huh Had not been invented yet. Well, HE'S evil Because you know the writers of this nonsense wanted to be timeline accurate. Him? No! Every problem is going to have a spooky old man. I keep expecting to see Wile E Coyote and the roadrunner in this landscape This seems offensive to someone. You think? I can't get past how weird everyone looks I mean, Rat-man took a lateral move, but still Gosh, who's surprised Wait, did Rat-man just contribute to the plot again More than old man Kakashi. Because surely he won't just go to the cave and steal everything. Rat-man's carrying the plot and I'm not okay with that. ... oh wow. He's the most important character in this story It's, like, all about his dirt-eating Oh so it's a big museum The adventures of Rat-man and friends. wow his voice will just never stop cracking, will it Stop touching each other. And then he killed them. WOW who would have GUESSED Of course we have to have silly implausible knockout gas. Why even bother tying them up? Just kill them while they are unconscious. Likes gloating? Please, please kill them while they're unconscious. I don't like Milo's little pantaloons or shapely calves. Someone had to draw them. Guess SOMEbody's about to get sandblasted But for the pot they broke, they must die. Don't do it, Kakashi! Tell me your secret. "well if I told you it wouldn't be a secret, would it" "We love you, old man Jicama." ... Did Odin broke into his house. Did Odin break into this guy's I mean I sthis where theis is going What even is this premise? I mean I guess he can have it None of this could have less to do with anything. Oh dude you are WAY off they wanted to do a multi-season tv show like this ...Or, uh. Maybe not Then he is simply an insane man who is good at training birds. Dead. Pffffff . . . . . . . "The cum filling?" ...What I also heard that. And again, ratman is essential to the plot. ....Ewwwwww, he dressed her I think he is very confused abou this mythos, also I feel concussed. ...Did anyone else just see the explosives human disassociate out of his body? They've all been doing that The image bleed has been very prevalent. I haven't seen it get quite as bad as that. Uh... huh. So they're like boiling the ocean That's a little grim Rest in peace, fishermen. Or not. Rejoin the world, just in time to participate in a World War. Excellent plan. Wait there's a child? And contract polio. Was she like born DURING the thousands of years under the sea? Not quite as bad as the pig sequel, but still too reliant on the ratman. well that was... underwhelming That was wretched. I'm on the cusp of powering down, but thank you all for coming and enduring this. Thank you for hosting this terrible assortment of bad ideas. Well. It's what I do! Good night! Thanks for the stream. Good night! Good night! Thanks for the stream. Good night! Thank *you* for the movie suggestion, night human!

KP watches Gifted ep7

yes last time, ty for reminding us that Blink has her “own issues and people to find” ^^

oh nice, Lorna and John started everything, because they’re both former Xmen team mates. that’s nice. and “3 years ago” the Xmen were *gone*. hm...

oh gee, look, main character time...and they’re being idiots...do we really have to purposely tell you fools not to play on scaffolding?? one would think that would be a given; you even said you were told not to...i feel like that’s gonna break later...

haha you still gotta do homework, oh woe is you annoying little brother

oh what a surprise, Dr not-Sinister is picking specific powers. and Dad finds out they want his daughter’s new boyfriend...and doesn’t say something?? dude, point it out, so the complex can decide how to better protect him or to vote him off castaway island to protect the rest of them

oh but  the next scene seems to set up that boyfriend might be a plant...ok that’s sorta neat, and i know as a viewer i see all sides of this story BUT that makes it even more pointless that Dad didn’t point him out. i mean, ok a sketch instead of a photo could imply that they hadn’t found him yet to brainwash him, BUT they *know* the bad guys are brainwashing people into hounds (for lack of a better term) so why not be more concerned about this? why not bring it up and again, let the islanders vote about what to do. sure only Lorna’s left to run things, but she can make executive decisions like that. or heck, they could detain him until the others came back for a full council vote then. it’s just, uhg! 10 min in and our *super important can do no wrong main characters* being dumb

oh right Marcos is doing stuff

oh sure, Dad goes to Mom and NOT Lorna abut this, sure, that’s logical. and he’s more concerned that he did illegal things?? priorities man; the fact he’s on Sentinel's radar is more important than his rap-sheet

baby girl yay! course she’s hard to track, her dad taught her well. but ThunderBlink road trip to mysterious road, ok, cool. hope we get to see it...

“a program that legally does not exist” that creates super mutant soldiers...yeah Campbell is diet!Sinister in knockoff!Weapon X. that is sweet

so Lorna went through Marcos’ jewelry box and just assumed he’s doing what he’s doing?? i know plot convenience, but still...lazy writing

wow ok Dad yelling at Lauren over boyfriend...that felt really forced. “how many other mutants have that power” uh...that sorta happens a lot...”you haven’t changed” uhg. see, if you took this to Lorna and she seperated him from the group, then maybe Lauren blowing up would make more sense

yay ThunderBlink road trip...for 5 seconds...boo...but Johnny does imply that mysterious road is Clair’s “home”...but since they’re firmly established as being in Georgia that means it’s not near Canada...also that’s outside her range i know, but still

dang Dr Badguy, using you brainwashed hound to knock out DoJ lady and then taking her away...5 bucks says she gets brain washed too to change her mind into being on his side. dude gets his playbook from V; i hope her conversion process changes her dominant hand too

Dad stop being stupid and point out boyfriend’s file to everyone already, geeze! meanwhile Lauren goes and asks him...and he admits it with a sob story...that sounds close to Marcos’...why are you mini Marcos? are we gonna loose Marcos? why did you say “mirage”, i’m pretty sure he’s not that character...

oh hey Marcos, right, you’re in this episode...see cutting back to *super special main characters* doesn’t help when you split up into too many stories in one episode

Blink! and you lived in a foster home???? your powers were present at 15??!! ok so mysterious street was to this place, which is cool...and johnny’s powers seem a tad inconsistent...but screw that, Blink backstory! she lived there for a few years huh; does that imply that at 18 she left because, adult...or that someone else took her from there? how did she get there to begin with? did her parents kick her out when she turned pink?? when did she turn pink?? how old are you know???

oh Sonia, if there’s one person who could take on the cartel single handedly it would so be a Magnus; you do not mess with that family

wow Dad, i know you’re trying to be the good guy, but really? you know the bad guys are turning mutants, you know they wanted him, and you’re not saying anything...he’s gonna be a double agent isn’t he? if he isn’t that’s a waste of a setup, then again if he is it is sort of cliched...so there’s not winning there

and back to Blink yay. and wow, that is a very Creed thing to say; “it’s not my problem until it affects me personally” not the *best* idea to follow, but wow...are we sure Disney doesn’t own you yet Fox, because killing off her parental figures off screen to make her care about plot sounds like what you do...

oooo Lorna caught Marcos being a bad guy, guess who’s sleeping on the couch tonight...or permanently

ok, boyfriends *says* he talked to the adults about his past, but i don’t buy it...plus he says he’s leaving...i’m still betting he winds up evil

Lauren you need a better bra...

ooo hacker girl has lists of who’s become a hound...and TRASK INDUSTRIES??!! Trask was shut down on 2006?? Dad’s dad worked there??!!

oh Dr Evil called his hounds “weapons”, it’s totally Weapon X

ooo next time looks very good. Grandpa says that his dad and aunt had the same powers as Lauren and Andy...so grandpa isn’t Barron Strucker, but was his dad then? or an uncle? did he envy his siblings having powers and thus went to HYDRA to figure out how to make powers, thus leading to the Maximoffs in Sokovia...wait that was Disney!Marvel, nvm that train of thought. but still!

DYNAMITE SIGNS WRITER FRED VAN LENTE AND ARTIST BOB Q FOR NEW GREEN HORNET ’66 MEETS THE SPIRIT SERIES

Dynamite Entertainment is proud to announce that classic television’s incarnation of The Green Hornet is set to make his return with an unexpected new partner in the pulp character’s latest cross-over miniseries, The Green Hornet ’66 Meets The Spirit, featuring revered comic writer/artist Will Eisner’s famous two-fisted crimefighter. Written by Fred Van Lente (Archer & Armstrong, Cowboys and Aliens), with art by Bob Q (Kings Quest), The Green Hornet ’66 Meets The Spirit #1 arrives in stores this July!

The Green Hornet is back and on the case! With his aide Kato and their rolling arsenal, The Black Beauty, by his side, The Green Hornet is ready to face the toughest of challenges! On police records a wanted criminal, The Green Hornet is secretly Britt Reid, owner/publisher of The Daily Sentinel. Reid and Kato have traveled to Central City to participate in the futuristic World’s Fair, and to get the skinny on the new and potentially dangerous “Newspaper of Tomorrow“, a device capable of predicting headlines before events happen.

Writer Fred Van Lente says, “I’m very excited to link these two iconic characters. The Spirit has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, and the opportunity to pair Will Eisner’s legendary creation with a character that has an actual year in its name allowed me to age The Spirit cast fourteen years forward. In our world, the Spirit hasn’t been seen since 1952 (the year the strip ended) but suddenly this new guy has appeared in the mask and hat — one who will look pretty familiar to longtime fans. Who is this guy, and why has he returned? This is the mystery Green Hornet and Kato must solve.”

Fred Van Lente is the #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning writer of comics like Dynamite’s The Mocking Dead and Magnus: Robot Fighter, Archer & Armstrong (Harvey Award nominee, Best Series), Action Philosophers! (American Library Association Best Graphic Novel for Teens), and Cowboys & Aliens (with Andrew Foley), the basis for the feature film.

Artist Bob Q says, “I’m incredibly excited to be working with Fred Van Lente who has written a script that’s fun all the way through. Artistically, my plan is to capture that spirit as best I can with a series of ham-handed pencil and brush strokes. What I’m really striving for, though, is to shake up masked-vigilante fashion. It’s time to trade in spandex onesies, capes, and pouched belts and get back to some nicely tailored suits and fedoras. If you’re going to fight crime, do it with some class.”

Dynamite’s Green Hornet ’66/Spirit Crossover Set For July

Dynamite Comics recently announced their plans for the July release of their upcoming Green Hornet/The Spirit crossover. Set to debut this summer, Dynamite’s “The Green Hornet ’66 Meets The Spirit” will feature the two famous pulp heroes meeting in comics for the first time. The latest addition to Dynamite’s line will be written by Fred Van Lente (“Magnus: Robot Fighter,” “Archer and Armstrong”) with art by Bob Q.

RELATED:Bringing The Spirit And Dick Tracy Together, For The First Time

The synopsis, according to Dynamite’s press release, reads:

The Green Hornet is back and on the case! With his aide Kato and their rolling arsenal, The Black Beauty, by his side, The Green Hornet is ready to face the toughest of challenges! On police records a wanted criminal, The Green Hornet is secretly Britt Reid, owner/publisher of The Daily Sentinel. Reid and Kato have traveled to Central City to participate in the futuristic World’s Fair, and to get the skinny on the new and potentially dangerous “Newspaper of Tomorrow”, a device capable of predicting headlines before events happen.

“I’m very excited to link these two iconic characters,” said Van Lente in the announcement. “The Spirit has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid, and the opportunity to pair Will Eisner’s legendary creation with a character that has an actual year in its name allowed me to age The Spirit cast fourteen years forward. In our world, the Spirit hasn’t been seen since 1952 (the year the strip ended) but suddenly this new guy has appeared in the mask and hat — one who will look pretty familiar to longtime fans. Who is this guy, and why has he returned? This is the mystery Green Hornet and Kato must solve.”

Clearly looking forward to working on The Green Hornet/Spirit crossover, Bob Q added that he’s “incredibly excited to be working with Fred Van Lente who has written a script that’s fun all the way through. Artistically, my plan is to capture that spirit as best I can with a series of ham-handed pencil and brush strokes. What I’m really striving for, though, is to shake up masked-vigilante fashion. It’s time to trade in spandex onesies, capes, and pouched belts and get back to some nicely tailored suits and fedoras. If you’re going to fight crime, do it with some class.”
