He doesn’t exactly mention it to his family when he comes back- he was more than a little busy trying to figure out what he missed, where his children were, what the fuck had even happened. Besides, he’d put it in the report that he’d encountered some sort of primordial time being- even if he was still investigating that on his down time.
So he thinks he can be forgiven for forgetting to mention anything until Clark drops a cup while staring at him with a pale expression and shakily asks why there’s a second, slower heartbeat in his chest. He just also wishes it wasn’t in the middle of a League meeting.
HIBERNIAN ROY-WAMBSGANS!!!!! literally why have a succession oc if im not gonna make a season 4 promo pic of him. this is how hibs can still become canon

I seriously can't stop myself from thinking about names in AC6.
Handler Walter calls them 621. A number. A distancing tool. He still gets attached to his dogs regardless, though.
Ayre calls them Raven. A symbol of freedom, a name with meaning. It is a name they stole, but it's also a name they earn.
Carla and Chatty call them tourist. It's what they are - just another person stepping on the locals to have their little fun and take their home's resources. ...resources they want to eradicate but still
Rusty calls them Buddy. A friendly nickname, used both to raise your spirits and lower your defences. A dog and a wolf.
Iguazu calls them Freelancer, Merc, Freak. He just fuckin hates them. He hates their superior skills and their freedom most of all.
But who are they? They don't choose their own name. The only name they get to really choose is the names of their ACs. Everyone else calls them whatever they want. Something Something what's in a name.
the greatest tragedy of the 2000s-era Batfam is the lost story potential that happened because Jason's villain era and the Evil Cass arc happened at the same time instead of when Cass was Batgirl
we really could have gotten Jason and Cass being narrative foils, ripping each other to shreds over their different morals and perceptions of Bruce, and stories exploring how they're basically each other's walking nightmare scenario and instead we just got Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain!Jason and Cass being character assassinated and then shipped off to Hong Kong
Will Dipper always have almost no magic of his own, even after being reincarnated? He obviously has a talent for life magic but he can’t really train to get better at it, because he’s using Bill’s magic for it (and we know the latter hates it lol). I just don’t want my guy to be sad and miserable forever🥺 He deserves to become a cool and independent magician! And prove his bullies wrong once and for all!
A reincarnation of Dipper could definitely have more magic of his own! And as clever as he is, there's a bright future ahead of him. Perhaps even one where he's excellent at life magic and healing, and getting a little cocky about his own talents.
Bill, of course, upsets all the plans he had for his life. Again.
The good news is that it's a life where Dipper could use more life magic. Theoretically. The problem there is going to be hashing out how he can use it once they're bonded again.
For some reason Simon's depiction of Macbeth seems like he would have had a manbun and I genuinely wonder about this all the time. Very modern clothes so it seems a contemporary remake and I'm so fascinated by it. They don't use the archaic pronouns but the structure of the speech remains very Shakespearian. The whole decision making process both in and out universe is genuinely interesting to me, because this issue came out around five years before Romeo + Juliet, so that wasn't something they were inspired by. Just so curious about this whole bit.
character who is so powerful that their presence itself overgoes all consent, where the other characters exist below their desires and are made to please them, regardless of whether they want to or not.
esp when the character isn't even relatively domineering or authoritative during it. instead they're completely passive. whimpering and twitching and overall being so lost in pleasure that leaves no space for action, much less coercion. they're a passive receiver of pleasure.
except they, as an existence, cannot be passive. they're mingling with godhood, they're bigger than themselves, than their body, their pleasure holy and divine and all-encompassing. their touch a religious experience.
to have them, a compulsion, more than an action born of actual personal desire
thinking about some more ways that things could have played out with the first yellowjackets card draw, and i think the only way that travis would have ended up dead there would be if javi drew the card. like, i still don't think that the wilderness would have Wanted That because that's the CONSORT he's for our QUEEN but he might have gone full Take Me Instead mode and been able to talk the others into it. while if travis drew the card he and nat would have reversed roles in the sequence and javi still would have died, no matter how long travis spent trying to fish his brother out of the freezing water before he drowned and floated close enough to them to be retrieved again
