A fun prospect for Superhero-themed SV AU's that I don't often see is genre dissonance. Like, Luo Binghe as this edgy 90's style antihero who just straight up kills his enemies and sleeps around and is driven by selfish motives (revenge, ambition, etc) rather than altruistic morality, vs Shen Qingqiu as this kid-friendly supervillain who is "evil" mostly in terms of aesthetics and his ability to make inconvenient problems that are reasonably safe for child heroes to solve. Something like Punisher vs Team Rocket in terms of vibes.

Maybe the reason they meet is because some big publishing house akin to Marvel or DC just bought up the rights to whole bunch of older, discontinued comics titles, and decided to do a Justice League/Avengers style mash-up with a bunch of nostalgia properties and their most recognizable heroes and villains. Which means lots of crossovers condensing several titles into a handful of series.

Luo Binghe's origin always features him as a teenager, so he reboots as the youngest Avenger-equivalent team member in the new continuity. Even in this reboot, however, the writers still mostly go the gritty and dark route with his plots and stick to the same key developments -- his abandonment as an infant, his adoptive mother's tragic death, his tough life on the streets, abusive mentors and backstabbing "allies", and so on.

But Luo Binghe's life suddenly starts experiencing periods of dramatic change in his life when he's brought in for appearances in the lighter, friendlier world of the Junior Heroes continuity. After all, he's a natural choice for tying the two continuities together thanks to his youthfulness. Luo Binghe isn't consciously aware of the fact that he's moving between different titles and different writers. All he knows is that sometimes, when he hangs out with the bright and talented Ning Yingying, he's drawn into "conflicts" with Shen Qingqiu -- the kind of "villain" who will call for tea breaks, never actually hits anyone when he shoots his ray gun, leaves clues for all of his crimes, and can't seem to stop from imparting genuinely helpful advice in between his witty quips and taunts.

When Luo Binghe fights Shen Qingqiu, somehow he never actually gets hurt. Neither do any of his friends. The world in general seems brighter and lighter, as if there is some secret barrier protecting everyone from all the evils Binghe knows only too well exist in the rest of his life. Luo Binghe is increasingly convinced that Shen Qingqiu is the source of this mystical safety net. After all, for an allegedly powerful genius who is able to fool half the world about his wicked aims, he's never won a single fight against a kindhearted but somewhat ditzy teenager and her ragtag bunch of friends!

So what's he spending his actual energy on?

Luo Binghe is pretty sure it's keeping the real evils at bay. Making himself the biggest bad in town, and in doing that, making it so that the "biggest bad" is nothing worse than a slightly judgmental teacher in a pretty costume.

It's not long before Luo Binghe doesn't want to go back to the Justice League equivalent, to his world of misery and strife, even after his visits with Ning Yingying are supposed to be over. Especially as the global stakes of various heroic activities start getting higher, and it becomes clear that the boundary between Shen Qingqiu's safe world and the grimdark reality of Binghe's usual life are getting thinner...

valentines day ass post in the middle of october i dont know what happened

it's amazing to me that lan xichen isn't gay according to word of god, because what older brother (especially in homophobic xianxia universe china) instantly realizes his little brother is gay and in love just bc he's high strung and irritable lately thanks to a mischievous new boy in his class. it's one thing to tease or jokingly ask if there's a crush involved. it's another to Know.

and because what guy insists on a sworn brotherhood with two other men whose relationship with each other is publicly fraught, unless he really likes them both and is compromising because he knows he can't have them any other way? because a sworn siblinghood relationship is treated similarly (though not exactly) like a family via marriage?

lan xichen you are not slick no sir i know what you are

Ya'll know the trope of two guys who don't get along getting stuck handcuffed together? That, but make it Lucifer and Alastor with pink fluffy sex-cuffs that are laced with angelic steel under the fluff to nullify their powers XD Angelic Sexcuffs, they're a great alternative to the Get-Along-Shirt

They could tell that their powers gut cut off right away, hence the visceral reactions to the cuffs, especially from Alastor, pff

Edit: fixed a spelling mistake and added my watermark Bonus panel under the cut WARNING! Blood and dismembered limb

Don't worry, it'll grow back

Though they still gotta figure out how to get the cuffs off Lucifer X'D (He's fine btw, at least physically, just a little shaken up, pff)

So the general fandom consensus around the “end” of the ultrakill is that, if anyone dies, Gabriel will be one of them. If it isn’t a hypothetical happy ending it’s either V1 kills Gabriel, Gabriel dies via losing his divine light, they both take each other out in one violent, satisfying ending etc etc. but now I’m thinking. Ending where Gabriel kills YOU. Plot line where Gabriel’s “perfect hatred” is just that. Perfect. In an act of pure desperation he leaves behind his “just” ways and pithy taunts and goes completely feral. The second battle, a scramble to win back his divine light., but he begins to slip. Rage. Anger. This is all new to him. He is no better than you. A machination of his creator meant to enforce order, through whatever means necessary. His divine duty is just your programming in a coat of gold paint. He will fight and claw and bleed the same as you and this time he will not relinquish so easily. Bested not once but twice, he loses it. Instead of clarity he is met only with rage. Hatred, stronger than before. Even if there is no light to return to, no glory to be had, no life to live he has you. You’re just two caged animals trapped in the same burning building. War without reason. He’ll kill you. He has to. It’s all that matters. He will kill you.

(318) Whirl develops telepathic powers aboard the Lost Light. You'd think he'd use them for causing problems on purpose. HE'D also think he'd use them for causing problems on purpose. And he does.

Whirl loves having superpowers!

Then, when he inevitably experiences an agonising mystery-telepathy-overuse headache, he hides in his suite in the dark and just waits it out. Simple, right? He'll be back to causing problems on purpose in no time.

But when he isn't around for a few days and Tailgate and Cyclonus arrive to check on him... he starts to run into real telepathy problems. It was a LOT easier to be telepathic when Whirl was just antagonising people who already hated him. Now he's forced to confront Tailgate's genuine, and affectionate, concern, and Cyclonus's steadier regard trailing along somewhere behind him.

...Whirl kind of hates having superpowers, actually.

Why is it unwise, Caithe?? WHY. 👀💦

I remember when I first heard this line and proceeded to freak my baby sapling mind out thinking Trahearne was going to be a Big Deal.

I mean he was, but man, let me tell you, getting those levels to advance the story was spent in a state of pure anxiety. XD XD XD

Alright, I can't get this out of my mind, and I feel compelled to figure this out.

January- Fanguary or Janu-scary

February- Febooary or Febu-scary

March- Lurch...?

April- Gravepril or A-shrill

May- Maim

June- Gloom

July- Ghoul-ly or Goo-ly

August- Ughhhgust (Like Zombie speak)

September- Hextember

October- Spooktober (I think this works so much better than "fangtober")

November- Bonevember (Not fond of this one) or Novemboo

December- Dismember

Edit: Added some of the suggestions!
