#and some marvel stuff

Khalid rambling

Khalid is finally getting stuff where he's included with the JSA, and while I'm excited about it in general I really wish he wasn't sooooo mischaracterized.

writing the guy whos going to college for a doctorates (is that what its called?)

Knows magic without the helmet

has had his heart pulled out

has one of my personal favorite relationships with Nabu out of the fates

like he's new too this stuff and while sure he kinda is in retrospective he's already saved the world once :p

in my dream JSA he's in the middle ground between the og JSA members and the younger gen (even though he's a newer character then them, he's written in a way that it would work best IMO). Khalid unfortunately since his original comic hasnt been the most consistent but the current JSA run as much as I overall enjoy the story is the worst take on him specifically. I think theres good ideas in this, the attempts to establish a mentor mentee relationship with him and wildcat is one I'm interested in if it was done better. I also would've appreciated more interaction with him and Alan, knowing his track record with the fates after kent I wanted to see more of what Alan thinks of khalid as the new fate

I want to think he's some inbetween of it all, he's not as skilled as Kent yet, so he's under the pressure and expectations of the Senior members while just falling short because I don't think he should know everything about being fate yet. but he's also more skilled then the new gen of JSA members. I think him and Jakeem should be in that same spot together considering Jakeem is also treated like he hasnt been apart of the team since the 2007 run.

also random side note, What happened to nabu anyways? Ive read the majority of khalid's appearances but I feel like ive missed something from when the helmet was broken in that one arc I cant be assed to remember the name of. I mightive fallen behind on recent khalid appearances since I've been re reading a lot of alan scott stuff rn

ugh

okay dont yapping, Ive got some Khalid stuff to catch up on but just throwing my thoughts out here since I dont really have any DC friends who are into the JSA so the tumblr followers ive gotten from my old Khalid doodles is all i got 💔

They won’t unleash Ratchet at his full party animal potential because with the simps he would acquire, he would be too powerful

[thebatsandthebugs]

see if someone asked me how to get into comics id tell them to look up reading lists, find foundational arcs, more accessible one-shots etc but that does not mean ill take my own advice. when i want to get into a superhero i start reading from their first appearance like god intended

Guess who watched Thunderbolts today, and is now full of emotions

bring back k-pop music videos with oddball physical sets that are actually real or even just remotely built — and no, we left `dudes trapped inside of a cheese grater tunnel´ behind! — instead of hyper HD cameras doing 360s every two seconds in front of floating metallic green screen AI slop stickers. this ain’t social media @ directors, a k-pop video is supposed to tell a zany plot on a random alien planet where idols wear extensions and invent new words!!

Marvel films wishes they could do with comedy what AoS did. Phil Coulson making bad dad jokes all the time, "prostitutes plural?!" "get ready for a large file transfer" quips that actually make sense in context and for the characters delivering them, the prank wars that actually make sense to have, deke being really bad at life in the modern world, ward and Fitz's mission, everything. god there's so much that AoS does that is absolutely hilarious but the funny moments don't take away from the serious ones. They make sense with the characters too. They establish that Coulson makes bad dad jokes episode one and then Stick With It! The team jokes with each other in a way that you do when living with people in a small area for months at a time. Marvel movies could never

listen to me. *holds your face very softly between both of my hand* if you do not think charles should be able to read minds as freely as erik can control metal then fuck you very much. if you think it's ok for erik, or anyone else really, to express their mutation as much as they want but charles shouldn't then seriously eat shit. 'yea but it's so much more different-' ssshhhh. shut up.

It's so funny to me how season one Lokius shippers went: Oh I love how an all powerful god has a crush on just this guy. This random man.

And then some people were like NO! Mobius is going to be a watcher or a he who remains variant or x,y,z important person.

And season two rolls around: Oh look at them, just a human man and a diety.

And AGAIN people go: NO! Mobius is going to be thor or odin or balder.

But in the end...He did end up being just a guy. A random SINGLE dad selling jetskies.

it’s crazy how marvel infinity comics have been like “you knew that billy was the living embodiment of space, but did you know that tommy is the living embodiment of time? no? haha yeah. okay, now to not mention this at all for the next few years.”

Have some Ratchets and some Ratchet related posts that I had in my drafts

I told my friend that I saw a car that reminded me of Ratchet and it wasn’t an ambulance, she told me that at some point people are going to believe I actually want to fuck a car

Hasboro should hire me for writing a show look at my very detailed season one plan:

Ep1: Ratchet introduction episode

Ep2: Ratchet and humans

Ep3: Ratchet and his friends

Ep4: Ratchet vs Decepticons

Ep5: Ratchet battles his inner demons

Ep6: Ratchet beach episode

Ep7: Ratchet throws a party

Ep8: Ratchet becomes god

Ep9: Ratchet goes back to school

Ep10: Ratchet goes though revelations on his purpose, the futility of war and his role of perpetuating the cycle through his job

Ep11: Starscream slips on a banana peel and dies

Ep12: Ratchet sex episode

Ratchet shot up on my top ten fav transformers list so quickly the rest of my list is in shambles, Starscream is still no 1 though, someone get him off there

When I was looking at toy listings I would always see an in stock ironhide toy next to an out of stock Ratchet that’s double the price, poor guy.

If Hasboro lets transformers go into public domain in 2075 I will release a Ratchet hentai game and a megastar sex tape

I miss marvel have some verrry old and unorganized art

So, the localization file of Veilguard was found thanks to datamining, and it contains Some Stuff about Solas, Solavellan, and some cut ending stuff.

No idea if these lines were cut because of budget/resource reasons, if they are old scraps left of Joplin or if the writers simply changed their minds. Please keep in mind they are in jumbled order/there are different responses, probably due to different choices and the dialogue wheel.

Under the cut because of spoilers.

Solas and Fen'Harel

"I must hold back the blight! My wolf will distract Elgar'nan while you take the dragon!" "Did I see that right? The Dread Wolf is a separate spirit from Solas?" "Nice. Why does he get to be part wolf?" "Yeah. Seems like Fen'Harel is a merging of the two."

It seems like Solas and his wolf self are two separate spirits - perhaps similar to Falon'Din and Dirthamen, who are confirmed to be the same spirit who split into two different aspects.

Final dialogue with Solas (Solavellan edition)

"The blight is its prison. The world is safe." "Until the Veil collapses, and demons kill thousands of people." "If there were another way…" "There [i]is[/i]. Let the Veil stay in place." "The elven people must be restored. They do not deserve what was done to them." "Neither did the Titans." "Neither did Mythal. Either time." "Those are my mistakes. Only I can correct them." "I'm here to help you." "You think you have to do this alone. But you don't." "Every time, it has come down to my choices." "Are you a god?" "I am the furthest thing from it." "Then stop acting like one. Let someone else help you." "Do the right thing." "You want to be a hero? Then save the world. Right now." "The restoration of the world as it was meant to be…" "That's not saving the world, that's saving your pride." "Is that why you think I am doing this?" "I think you're doing this because you think that you have to. But you don't." "You have to forgive yourself." "You know how I got out of the Prison of Regrets? I let it go." "Varric's death was never truly your fault." "And you didn't cause every problem. You tried to fix them." "And every time I failed." "The world's still here. You got some of it right." "I cannot. To stop now would dishonor those I've wronged to come this far." "Even if those you wronged asked you to stop?" "Vhenan. And… Morrigan?" "One appellation among the many I wear, Dread Wolf." "I have been advisor to Orlais, Witch of the Wilds, daughter of Flemeth… and once, long ago, an old friend." "Mythal…" "You never would have left the Fade and taken on that humble form had I not been the one who first convinced you." "The things that I have done…" "Are not for you alone to bear, my friend. The many wrongs we did, we did together." "It is not too late to stop this. Banal nadas. Ar lath ma, vhenan." "My life force now sustains the Veil. With every breath I take, I will protect the innocent from my past failures. " "The Titans' dreams are mad from their imprisonment. I cannot kill the blight, but I can help to soothe its anger." "What I've done, I will atone for." ""But you do not have to go alone." "Thanks to you, I can see the way."

Rook and Solas' final confrontation if Rook tries to convince him to stop was apparently supposed to be much longer, with Solas mentioning the elven people and the Titans, Varric's death, and Rook acknowledging he always did try to save the world.

It seems there was also one more line Solas would say to Lavellan after her "But you do not have to go alone." -> "Thanks to you, I can see the way."

The Inquisitor's happily ever after

"So you have to stop Solas, but not in a way that prevents him from stopping the blight." "Let Solas put the blight into its nice new prison, then we'll put him in there with it." "So with Solas and the elven gods out of the picture, where does that leave us?" "Nothing. He didn't deserve his little happily ever after." "If there's anyone who can reason with the blight, it's him." "The Inquisitor believed in him. [i]She [/i]deserved her happily ever after, even if that's helping Solas fix his mistakes." "And so the Dread Wolf shall spend eternity in the knowledge that he stood at the precipice of disaster and was saved by a mortal's wisdom." "Then why maneuver matters so as to deliver it to him?" "Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain were villains trying to conquer and blight the world." "Solas did terrible things, but he was trying to help. I can understand that." "He was wrong, not evil." "She waited many years for him. You are kind indeed to ensure those years were not in vain." "I am surprised less that he would seize upon such a chance for redemption, and more that you would offer it. " "The Inquisitor earned it." "He's working off his debt. After all, I don't think there's anyone else alive with the power and perspective to try to heal the blight." "Few would react with such compassion to the Dread Wolf's trickery. What merits him a fate fairer than Elgar'nan or Ghilan'nain?" "True. Even had I Mythal's full power, she and I often struggled to mend feelings we might have broken." "'Twould not be the first time he accomplished something Mythal herself thought impossible." "And so the Dread Wolf is stopped by, of all things, love." "Surprised?" "He's fixing his mess."

Lines for the different ways Rook can handle Solas' fate. Rook and Morrigan discuss Lavellan and Solas' chance at happiness, with Rook deciding to help them reunite despite Solas' trickery; Rook deciding to lock Solas away with the Blight; probably a line referencing a friend Inquisitor or Rook themselves ("Solas saved by a mortal's wisdom") and one referencing Lavellan ("Solas saved by love").

Epilogue

"It may mean nothing. Or everything. What matters is that the Solas is content, and we need no longer fear him tearing down the Veil." "So, Rook, what's the plan?" "[i](Sighs)[/i] Damn it." "Thank you." "Then it sounds like you have work to do. I'll leave you to it." "Good luck, Rook. Enjoy the adventures to come. " "I'm sorry, vhenan. If there had been another way..." "And now he'll spend who knows how long trying to heal the blight? What does that even mean?" "I can think of few things he'd have hated more." "He made a cage with bars made out of his worst weaknesses. He's not getting out on his own." "And we're certain there's no way for him to escape?" "Trapped forever in a prison with the blight." "Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain are also both dead. 'Tis no great loss there, the blighted fools." "So, Rook: How does it feel to have saved the world?" "Honestly, I have no idea." "Don't be so shy with your feelings, Morrigan." "We were all young once, were we not? 'Tis from such humble seeds that great things are grown." "Tell that to Mythal." "When the next aspiring deity lays claim to our world, you are the woman who shall remind them that even gods can die." "You are really bad at inspiring speeches." "Despite these rough edges, you forged a team that saved all of Thedas. Precious few can claim that." "I notice you left out one elven god—the only one still here in any capacity." "When the next aspiring deity lays claim to our world, you are the one who shall remind them that even gods can die." "You're leaving me to handle this?" "Were Mythal younger, she might have wished to rule again. Were I younger, I might have agreed with her." "Hey, the world is still here and isn't blighted or covered with demons. I think we did okay." "Says the woman carrying the god who made most of the mess I had to clean up." "And prepare yourself for whatever storm next clouds our skies." "I did save the world." "Who else? Make no mistake, you could do with a finer touch in matters of politics. " "You're not very good at this." "Even with Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain dead, the Venatori remain a threat, as do the Antaam and darkspawn. "

It seems there was supposed to be an additional scene after the ending, with Rook and Morrigan discussing the future. The dialogue would change depending on Solas' fate/Rook's choice about him.

That "Solas is content, and we need no longer fear him tearing down the Veil." probably refers to the ending with Lavellan, while it's not clear if that "I'm sorry, vhenan. If there had been another way..." is supposed to be there (maybe Solas apologizing again for bringing her to what he believes will be a terrible place?) or if it's referring to another scene.

The lines about him being stuck in a prison made out of his worst weaknesses, being unable to get out on his own, and spending a very long time trying to heal the Blight, something he hates, all sound like lines that would fit his bad endings.

One last mission

"Rook gives the team their seventh pep talk after the Finale." "We're sticking together. The gods might be dead, but there's more to do in this world." "We'll find Harding or Davrin. Somehow." "The eighth pep comes after nearly all content has been completed." "Weird shit is going on. What are the clues we have? The Executor, the Devouring Storm - what does it mean?" "We don't actually know. But it sounds bad. So we need each other more than ever." "On return to Rivain Island, defeat the Executor and collect the Memento for Davrin/Harding"

There is a cut scene + mission with Rook talking to their team after the ending and going to Rivain for one last mission. It's pretty much confirmed the cutscene was supposed to take place in the Lighthouse, there are old files and flags for it. If you pay attention after the ending sequence, you will see your Rook appear in the Lighthouse for a millisecond, the only trace left of that scene.
