Would writing a Smallville fic count, or is this comics only?

That's perfectly fine! Comics, cartoons, movies, AUs--so long as the central character is a Super, it's fair game. We get a little more specific in the FAQ, but you're good to go for a Smallville fic~

Wait you guys actually generate more then one reply at a time???

sure! its helpful. if an ai misses something in your original response, usually asking for a continuation of their reply will hit the missed mark. also helpful when you get a reply that takes you off-guard with the prose or humour or the raunchiness but doesn't forward the plot! continuing the bots response usually shoves things along while letting you include aforementioned thing.

warning though: i don't like doing this for more than two replies, because ai definitely needs continued user input. it cannot carry all by itself. alone, it'll get dull and repetitive fast. its why some people will experience roleplays that are lacking/can't beat the filter. you really do have to take the lead!

Hi! I don't know if you're the right person to ask, but I have a question about KOTLC fandom etiquette, and I heard you're open to being asked questions about it

So I just joined the fandom a bit ago, after being in some super big ones, and I was just wondering if you had any ideas for how to promote a themed week? I heard that this fandom is different than other fandoms I've been in (where you just make an interest post and hope it gains traction), with having some weird rules regarding themed weeks

So do you know what exactly I should do? Like is there some sort of, I don't know, form or account or server I should be joining? Sorry if this is dumb!

Hi! Welcome to the fandom! This isn't dumb at all and I'm happy to help :)

The "weird rules" you heard about is probably the event server--but make no mistake, you absolutely don't have to do anything special to run a themed week here. That server was originally created to try and keep track of different themed weeks and events, and to try and keep them from overlapping. I'm not sure how active it is now, and I don't have a link myself.

While well-intentioned, I do think it's has also created a bit of a barrier to people putting together their own weeks.

Personally, I'd do what you do in other fandoms--make a post and hope it gains traction. I believe that's what a good chunk of current themed weeks are still doing. if you know another week is coming up, maybe don't schedule it for the same time, but you don't need to get anything approved or go through anyone or anything

If you'd like, I can ask around and see if anyone has a link to the server, but again, I don't personally think it's necessary and would encourage you to just proceed as is :)

Youve been adopted by my AP CSP teacher ^^

(I have an adoption paper for it lol. Made it in 2 mins and ny teacher signed it)

Oh. Alright.

I am not sure how you expect me to find my new. “Parent”. However. I am currently within Meeple Headquarters, which is suspended in air, and there are. Approximately 0 current methods I could use to get down. I apologize for the inconvienience.

on fame;

i don't think i want to be famous i think i'd just like to be seen

i'd like to make some friends, i'd like to show you my silly words and nice pictures and fun mcguffins, a place more like a message board than a trophy cabinet, my smile more genuine when i hear a compliment.

call it naïve, call it prideful, call it selfish

but here in cyberspace, i don't think it's a crime to want the same closeness and warmth with people you know in the real world

rather than drown in a parasocial nightmare

where the pedestal is only barely big enough for your shoes.

no, i'm an idiot. i ought to have some gratitude. there's always someone below you who's hoping to clamber up there's always someone above you who's hoping to kick you in the teeth there's always a reason to climb, to help thy neighbour, to settle.

is it better to settle? for simplicity? for non-growth, for yourself?

discursive as i am, i distill and delete. am I partaking in default discourse by blending in? does it look like i have ardor for being forgotten?

because believe me, I don't want to be and you don't either, do you?

the transience of us will be forever skewed by the mediums we exist in,

deciduous and three dimensional cloaked in identifiers, characterised and caricatured bookmarked for later peeking.

will the context be clipped for the cutting room floor again, or will someone have the grace to let it alone?

i don't really know about any upsides to fame. no gains besides a little voice, whispering in my ear. there’s relief, perhaps, in being spotlit but a mountain of growth to keep it that way. a hot seat can and will burn me if I am comfortable.

i listen to a hiss, a shadow leaning into my ear: ‘they see you now!!’

it should be a good thing. i am a creator. i like being seen. and yet, all i ever hear is:

‘watch your step, "superstar".’

‘if you trip, they might not catch you.’

How many times do you have to be injured, in Hell, for it to stop fully regenerating

Like, if you were shot in the same place over and over, like a fucked up experiment, at what point does it turn into a scar that fades white?

Or do you only reset on death?

Do you think Angel is covered in hidden wounds from his decades under Valentino?

Do you think Alastor has lichtenburg figures under his attire from the times Vox has electrocuted him in battle?

I have questions.

[yunisverse]

I honestly think Jonah and Segen would make good protagonists. for a Digimon AU. :3

After all they already have childhood trauma.

all i know for sure is one or both of these poor kids is gonna trigger a Dark Digivolution at some point

Six Sentence Sunday (and one emoji)

[Jamie]: Really? Did we have to make a new chat just for this?

[Isaac]: No, Dani's got the the right idea. We're dealing with a legend. We may need to coordinate our behaviour appropriately to make sure we don't scare him off to a different team

[Jan]: Which means until otherwise noted, you do not have the signal Jamie

[Jamie]: 🖕

Just to confirm - can a fic be centered around Lois, even without major ties to the other Supers?

Lois absolutely counts as part of the superfam!!!! ❤️

What flavor of monster are some of the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps, like Zenitsu, Inosuke, and Kanao? Are the Ubayashiki family monsters as well?

within the five senses squad, obviously tanjirou's a human, but for the others,

zenitsu is a rat man because of course he is and also i'm poking fun at chuitsu

both inosuke and kanao are cats! kanao is not a bug person like her sisters because she's from a very different place, and inosuke still wears the boar head

genya is a wolf boy like his brother. the both of them are technically half human, but with the way that hybrid kids work in this au, their human half doesn't really matter much, other than the fact that their mom was a human who turned demon

the ubuyashiki family, as distant relatives of muzan's family, used to be humans, but they discovered the whole "monsters can't get turned into demons" thing, and ended up marrying into a line of these fae kinda creatures. it is still tradition for the ubuyashiki to take human spouses every so often to sort of remind their family about what they're fighting for

Dappy!verse Riddler lore

Born Eduardo Enigmar to Franklin Enigmar and Julia Osorio, in a small city in the east coast. Together they were a happy enough family.

He was a quiet kid and often was left to manage himself and often was used to console and comfort his parents. He was terrified of disobeying the rules as his mother would refuse to talk to him or look after him for days at a time when he would misbehave.

At school, He was always talented, well behaved, and was placed in advanced courses or pushed up by a few grades. He didn’t have many friends as he was seen as weird and creepy by the other kids.

He loved detectives, his favorite books as a child being Sherlock Holmes. He’d often investigate small mundane things for fun, find out what keeps getting into the trash, whose moving in next-door, and one day he decided to investigate where his father went for his frequent business trips.

He followed Franklin to another town and watched as he rejoined a family. A mother and son he hadn’t seen before but Franklin seemed to know. Before he was caught he rushed himself home and told his mother.

His mother was angry with him for running off and coming back with a crazy story. She refused to believe him.

Shortly after the birth of his younger sister, Malory who was almost 15 years younger than him, his parent’s marriage became rocky and the truth finally came out that Franklin had a second family.

Throughout the divorce proceedings Ed tried his best to be supportive and helpful to his mother but was only met with anger, she blamed him for it all. He had dropped out of his senior year in high school to take care of his mother and Malory. His mother would always shout and treat him with distain as she only saw Franklin when she looked at him, to the point where she tried to get Malory to never look at him.

After a few years, when Malory began school, one petty fight between Ed and his mother boiled over into him leaving without a way for them to contact him.

He traveled around, couch surfing, and never being able to hold a steady job. It was slim as to which stores would hire him due to his lack of a diploma. After awhile he ended up in Gotham, where he not only got forged documents but he also changed his name. From Eduardo Enigmar to Edward Nygma to finally distance himself from his family and the man that ruined his childhood.

In Gotham he became a PI, unable to be employed by the GCPD due to his lack of proper training, a rather successful one at that, due to his affordability mainly. Despite being an upstanding investigator the GCPD officers he worked with never liked him, often poking fun at him or messing with evidence.

He was hired to investigate a murder one day, the problem however being that, the murder wasn’t reported to the police before the case was given to him. So when the police were tipped off there was no other possible suspect but him, there was a jarring lack of evidence to prove his innocence.

What ‘incriminating’ evidence was found was his forged documents, a name change, and a manic denial. After a psychological evaluation he was deemed criminally insane and sentenced to Arkham.

The brutal treatment in Arkham (electroshock therapy and misperscribed medicine) and the trauma of being framed finally culminated with his anger and left him catatonic for months and prone to hallucinations. However, In an outburst he attacked and seriously injured a guard and himself causing him to need a mobility aid once it healed. After the attack he was resigned to solitary.

There his hallucinations only got worse and He realized people were always going to blame him for things gone wrong and only see evil in him. So he decided to let go on trying to be the good person he had been trying to be for so many years. He realized that no one but himself cared about his justice.

As he was used to investigation and puzzle solving, escaping from the asylum was rather easy. (He was quite proud that he was able to switch his place and his aloof guard’s)

However once he was out it was trickier, he couldn’t return to his apartment or office as the leases had broken during his incarceration. After wandering through the labyrinth that were the Gotham streets he sunk into the iceberg lounge for a place to sleep.

He managed to lay low and go unnoticed, thanks to the help of two of the women who worked there (Nina and Diedre) for a few days before Oswald took notice of him.

Their first interaction included Oswald blackmailing Ed with his estranged family and Ed threatening Oswald’s life. Despite the rocky start Ed soon proved himself to Oswald to be usefully and trustworthy (through many heists and investigations to rivals) and Oswald proved himself to be caring to Ed, something he had not been accustomed, and they became closer. Both have confided in the other about their pasts and trust no one more than the other.

With Oswald’s influence and the help and support of Nina and Diedre he became more and more bold with his crimes and eventually became The riddler we know and love

What do you think is the most common ability in kotlc?

I have a few guesses, so I'm gonna talk them through at you to see if one prevails over the other:

Flashers: incredibly light based species, perhaps its because a significant number of them work with it. We've also met a sizable number of them, and not because of anything special with Sophie (meaning, we see more telepaths than average because she is a telepath, but there's nothing special to draw flashers to her. and yet we still see a good few)

Vanishers: again, light based species. Different manifestation, but same principle. It could've also provided a survival advantage in days before "peace", leading to a larger number of them. But that could be said for many abilities. It's nothing flashy or significant as well, which could make it more common

Conjuring: again, not flashy. It's a more limited ability, which could mean its more widespread. Highly specialized things with lots of power are rare, and this is the opposite of that. We do have a fair scattered number of them as well

The one I want to be most common is flasher because I think it melds well with the worldbuilding. But otherwise I think any of these is a fine guess--and some of my reasoning could extend to other abilities as well.

If anyone else has thoughts or propositions, feel free to add; I may be overlooking something :)
