Will never forgive horikoshi for not letting mina keep the hero name 'alien queen.' Like, you chose PINKY over that??😭

Thadd should use the name Hermes after Inertia.

Hear me out !

First, I can't belive there is no speedster names after the swiftest of the Gods of Olympus !! I'm not sure if he's exactly the god of speed, but he's close enought anyway !

Second, like many other people, I think Bart should become Mercury instead of Flash, and Mercury is also known as ???? Hermes !! So if Thadd was the inertia and Bart the impulse, when Bart becomes Mercury Thadd should become Hermes ! So it's stay in the theme !

Third, I like Thadd juste having is own identity as a hero and not juste take over the name of an other speedster.(even if it keeps a link with Barts name)

Fourth, it's just funny ! Like, Mercury is some kind of copy of Hermes, when Thadd is what we can call a copy of Bart ! I like the irony !

Fifth, because no speedster have use this name yet there is no connotation nor legacy behind it, so that allow Thadd to be who he wants ! A hero, a vilain, a anti-hero, anything he wants ! And even the non-heroic options make sens with the name Hermes 'cause the guy's also the god of thieves !

Yeah, I know Hermes is alredy a character in the comics, but he's not really important and he's not considered a speedster, plus it wouldn't be the first time two entirely different characters share a name.

Also, why Thadd could decide to change his name ? Well, it could just be because Bart change his so Thadd want to do the same, or, in a redemption scenario, Inertia could be a bad remember about all the bad Thadd has done.

Anyway, I had this idea after I hadn't sleep for like 48 hours so it's may not really make sense but I like it !

Smol predictions about Garou's potential hero name:

White Tiger

Derivered from his white hair and ferociousness when he fights, but for a righteous and noble cause, like the animal Tiger itself is a noble and majestic creature.

Byakko represents the King of beasts, the colour white, the element of metal, the season autumn, the planet Venus and the virtue of righteousness. It's one of the four mythological creatures that form up the cardinal directions in chinese mythology. The White Tiger of the West, The Azure Dragon of the East, The Vermillion Bird of the South and The Black Tortoise of the North, all surrounding the Yellow dragon Huánglóng in the center.

As we already have azure dragon of the east symbolism in Genos and Saitama and Garou are irrevocably linked by what has happened in the manga so far, a White Tiger Hero name would be fitting in both appearances sake and symbolically.

Another possibility would be to derive from the mythos of the Black tortoise, which mythos wise might be more fitting. Flashy flash can have the white tiger spot.

Black Wolf Warrior

(or a derivation of the words black, warrior, dark and wolf or maybe even mysterious)

Genbu is named differently than the other shijin; rather than directly describing a color and animal, i.e. Black Tortoise, his name is written as gen, meaning dark, occult, or mysterious, and bu, meaning warrior.

Other Chinese legends[citation needed] also speak of how the "Tortoise General" and a "Snake General" came to be. During Xuanwu's study to achieve enlightenment and divine status, he was told that, in order to fully achieve divinity, he must purge all human flesh from his body. Since he had always eaten the food of the world, despite all his efforts, his stomach and intestines were still human. A god[which?] then came and changed his organs with divine ones. Once removed, the original stomach and intestines were said to have become a tortoise and a snake, respectively. The tortoise and snake became demons[citation needed] and terrorized people. Now divine, Xuanwu heard of this and returned to slay the monsters he had unleashed on the countryside. However, as the snake and tortoise showed remorse, he did not kill them but instead let them train under him to atone for their wrongdoings. They then became the Tortoise and Snake generals and assisted Xuanwu with his quests (another legend held that the mortal organs were tossed out to become Wuhan's Tortoise and Snake mountains).

Genbu is one of the shijin, or Four Symbols, which are important mythological figures in Taoism. Genbu is the guardian of the north. He is associated with the Chinese element of water, the season of winter, the planet Mercury, and the color black. He represents the virtue of knowledge.

A description of the dark colours he often wears, his temperament, his animalistic fighting style, his lone wolf nature but that he also has a noble warrior's heart who never bends down. A warrior through and through.

Like the mythos, Garou also purged all human flesh from his body and became divinity, but he showed remorse and has to atone for his wrongdoings.

League members discussing meeting Robin at work:

"Compared to Bats, Robin was a total sweetheart. Ball of sunshine."

"Man, must've been a good day then, the kid I met was a real anklebiter. He pulled out a sword and everything."

"Anklebiter is harsh, the sweet boy I met barely said a word, he just kept asking about Themyscira and the lasso."

"He? I met a blonde girl."

"No, no, black haired boy with blue eyes. We're talking about Robin."

"Yeah same here, blue eyed and tanned."

"Pretty sure he had green eyes. And talked fancy. And kind of scolded me for time travelling."

"The child I met was paler than the moon."

"I'm telling you I met a girl, and she was Robin."

"Well... either we're all wrong or we're all right."

So they arrive at the conclusion that Bats has a shape-shifter for a kid.

i have such a love for characters who descend into madness or villainy out of deep, deep empathy. characters who fundamentally cannot cope with the cruel realities they find themselves in and blow up about it in spectacular fashion. fallen angel type characters with tears of outrage in their eyes. characters who break before they bend, and break so badly they splatter blood all over their noble ideals. every variation on it gets me so good

reminder that trans men also fought for your rights and refusal to acknowledge this is tantamount to denying historical fact

[thefiresofpompeii]

on tumblr you can say words such as ‘doctor who is like mythology to me. it’s like an ongoing cosmogonic folktale’ and you will recieve 5 notes from people that are willing to indulge your insanity. in real life you say things like how are the kids and was your holiday fun and the weather’s lovely this morning. and i think that’s beautiful. autism.com/careers

Why are there so many gods here?

SO! One day, the Eternal Trio decided to Check if they had ant past lives using Magic.

They already knew that Tucker was the Reincarnation of some Pharoah, so maybe they were also some historical figures in a last life.

It does not go as expected.

Danny finds out that he was the Ancient of Space, and the reason Clockwork was so invested in keeping him from being erased from Time is because he's his Brother apparently.

Sam finds out that she was the Embodiment of The Green, and Undergrowths attempt at Adopting her was some scheme to become the Parent of his used-to-be Queen while she was in Mortal Form, therefore overthrowing her.

Tucker finds out that Duulaman was just one in a long line of the Reincarnations of the Sun God Ra, and that he had been quite a few more historical figures in the Past.

They were surprised to figure this out, but then they got curious.

They tested the Spell out on Jazz, and found that she used to be an Amazonian Goddess, alongside Pandora.

They test it on Dash, and find that he used to be Hermes, God of Travel and Speed.

Ellie was an Embodiment of something called the Speed Force, who was also a child of Space before their rebirth, apparently.

They slowly realize that almost every person of note in Amity Park is the Reincarnation of some kind of God or Spirit. And none of them seem to realize that.

Why are there so many reborn Gods in this town?

...

Constantine is actually asking himself the EXACT same question at that very moment, after a botched teleportation spell landed him in Amity Park.

Headcanon that the Bats must be the most infuriating members of the justice league. And it's got nothing to do with what they do or don't know or even their general skills and egos. Everyone is very used to Batman and the expectation that him and any of his spawn are somehow going to be three steps ahead of any issue they bring to the table ever.

No no, the infuriating bit? The stalking.

Listen, this is a family of freaks and weirdos. They work so well together because none of them were normal to start with and then they ended up traumatized. It's practically common practice in that family to accept that nothing is what it seems at face value and that all of your siblings are attempting to pry into your private life and cases at any given moment. I think for them it's honestly weirder if you take what they say at face value. They speak a language holy separate from any normally socialized person and it is a language of lies and half-truths that relies on the assumption that all parties are aware of that.

They're the most infuriating bitches around.

They'll tell someone something and appear to do the opposite and when confronted will have the most convoluted but sound reasoning of why they actually did exactly as they promised too.

They regularly pick people's pockets and hack into personal information because for them? That's practically a love language. They're obnoxious and they aren't even aware of it. Someone asks them to just tell the truth and they react like they've been shot. They're probably offended when they realize that someone hasn't been at least attempting to dig into them back, like come on man. I thought we were friends but you didn't even Google how long Nightwings been around? We've already put the bar on the floor for you guys? My siblings already have a full dossier ready on you because they caught us on camera in your home city during that 2 minute conversation we had 3 months ago. They sent it to me a few hours later. I think they got Oracle to help cause usually it takes them at least 12 hours.

You think they're being nice and friendly and then you realize that they have a nice little file compiled of everything you've done in the last five years, where you went to school and every note your teachers ever made about your behavior a decade ago when you were still a high schooler and fairly normal. If asked they'd probably be willing to bring out the family tree they built for you. They know what you did last summer better than you know what you did last summer. They have pictures, pictures that should be impossible because there's no way they were stalking you then and those sure don't look like security camera footage.

In reality Bats and Superman get along so well because that man is an investigative journalist and when they first met he could not leave it alone. Bruce was charmed the first time Clark Kent started doggedly attempting to ask him if he knew anything about Gothams new cryptid. It was cute how off base he was. But he was trying!!!! Bruce was sold for life! He dropped an dossier on lexcorp off in Clarks apartment a few days later. As a gift.

It's their mission to Indoctrinate every Leo they come across.

I have funny but first a quick history lesson

In Ancient Athens they had things called ostracons. Basically every year everyone would carve a name of someone they didn't like into a small stone tablet and then submit it. Then they would look at all of the ostracons and if there were too many of one person then they told that person to get tf out. They had ten days to flee Athens and couldn't come back for ten years.

So now I would like you to imagine Dionysus doing a pseudo version of this at Camp Half-blood every month because we all know he LIVES for the drama. (He's stuck there for a hundred years he might as well have some fun)

He would hand out stone tablets (it was very important to him that the names were carved don't ask why) and every person at camp would write a name.

Whoever had their name written down the most would be sent to live in a cabin in the woods for two weeks. If they survived they would be allowed to return to camp.

Mr. D always makes sure there's a crowd around to witness their walk of shame and he takes a picture of said person every month. He keeps them hung up on a wall in the big house.

Thalia is a name of a muse, so Thalia becomes immortal. Perseus has a happy ending, so Percy gets his happy ending. Jason lived a heroic life and dies a sad death, so Jason gets a heroic life and dies——
