ew this guy

[the-way-astray]

let’s be super clear: there is zero canon evidence that alden ever pressured or neglected any of his children. zero. if you want to make him that way for fic or fanon purposes, fine. you do you. but the second you try to use that in a serious anti alden argument, you lose credibility

yo guys imagine if the avatars held a party and are just fucking shit up Fear style like comparing kills, drinking and doing eldritch drugs, hitting pinatas full of teeth maybe even killing a random convict that Michael stole from a prison. like normal awesome party shit for them but would kill a human. and like all the avatars are invited,not all of them are there but the main representative of each fear is there ,they all know each other and most of them even the ones that hate each other are there, there's an unspoken rule that no one seriously harms each other and that none of them will be held accountable for what happens at the parties. like nikola tapped the convict that Michael brought to the ceiling and is now peeling him. A handful of The Buried avatars are eating sand. Breekon and Hope keep winning at charades, Jared just ate the convict's leg. Elias is now possessing a cat and the Real Elias is tried to a chair in the garage. Peter is asking for a divorce. Michael is spiking the punch. there's enough power and sheer fear that this could be considered a Ritual. so all in all it's on par with all the other parties they've throw . it's been around an hour so they're not expecting anymore avatars to show up but this guy knocks on the door so nikola opens it and it's just this guy that none of them recognise but he compliments Nikola's clown makeup so they just assume he's a new fully fledged avatar and let him in. within 5 minutes they realise this new avatar is high as fuck and is on who knows what so they're already in the party spirit. The guy immediately pins Michael as the one who will have the drugs here and takes a handful of pills and swallow half and uses the powered from the other half to roll a joint and everyone is already loving this guy cause most avatars don't even have the balls to use any drugs Michael brings cause it's well know you will wake up covered in glitter in a ditch somewhere or worse, and this guy clearly know that. he then proceeds to partake in spin the bottle and eats a few things that are not mean for any avatar that's on the more 'human' side to eat. he asks if Jane is single, gets told no and that her girlfriend is the clown peeling the convict which he immediately goes over to and joins in on the peeling. He gets dared to eat one of the convict's eyes which he does. the real Elias is no longer tied to a chair cause Jonah/Elias is back in his body. The guy makes out with Elias and then convinces him to get back with peter. he ends up being the life of the party and once it's over all the avatars start trying to figure out which fear he belongs to so they can steal him but since none of them thought to ask him about it it's gonna take a bit

mean while a normal human stoner just who's high as fuck all the time is giving a statement at the Magnus Institute about the sick as hell party he showed up to that may or may not have been paranormal but he was like really high at the time so he's not sure and the guy he made out with looks a lot like jon's boss now that he thinks about it

Long ago yet too close to forever

[bugeyedfreaks]

I was looking around the internet and found a comic (DC Comic #68, specifically!) that I clearly never read because I would have totally remembered this. Color me surprised when, in this comic, Blossom goes off on her own and teams up with none other than Mojo to destroy the Micro Puffs after they've brainwashed Buttercup and Bubbles into wanting to be the new leader of the group.

It’s just very interesting to me how Blossom’s employed Mojo to help her with so many different plans… Moral Decay, Power Prof, Forced Kin, this comic… hmmmmm… 👀

But I love that last panel of Blossom laying on the charm and Mojo giddily smiling like an idiot about not only being diabolical (such a nice compliment!), but also at the prospect of kicking the Micro Puffs’ butts, because how dare they not bring him a Micro Mojo. 🤣

But after their (naturally) brilliant plan is executed…

…they save the day together! But excuse me, that should say the day is saved thanks to Mojo and Blossom. Buttercup and Bubbles did nothing! 😤 (Also, agh, his tunic’s all colored wrong! …still a perfect image though.)

Later on in the CN Block Party comics (I think?), Mojo does get his own Micro Mojo, but I wasn't aware of this comic even existing! Of course, my two favorites saving the day together... how could I not love it? 😄

The Tangleification of Whisper

aka a catchy title for my musings on how Whisper's characterization has changed overall across IDW - and to bring up some thoughts on what it might imply that Whisper is given this clear resemblance to Tangle herself.

If you haven't read the 2024 winter annual yet, this post does contain panels lifted from that -- read at your own risk.

First of all, let's look at where Whisper started - what she was like before the 'Tangleification' - so you can see how big a change it is from one section to the other. I do understand that 'characterization marches on' and being free to re-evaluate and adjust a character's interpretation over time can fine-tune a story into becoming something greater - but I will also try to explain why this specific character evolution is significant to my eyes, and implications it carries.

We first meet Whisper in Issue #8, where she displays pretty clear signs of avoiding people not just to keep to herself, but because of social anxiety. She trails Sonic and supports him from afar, but as soon as they notice her she gives up her immediate goal and leaps away to lose their attention:

And from Silver's comments, she was evidently this evasive for the entirety of the Forces war:

With the benefit of hindsight and retroactive application of motive, one might assume Whisper was keeping out of sight so Mimic would continue to believe she was dead and not track after her, but seeing how she acts in these and the next issues (at least, her appearances before Tangle & Whisper), that's definitely not the initial aims with her character.

Whisper shows no reservations besides her own displayed social anxiety to the idea of joining with someone else as a team, or affiliating herself with them. If Mimic was a thing in Whisper's story at this time, she wouldn't be smiling at the idea, she'd still have the same reservations she brings up later with Tangle.

Additionally, the way other characters behave around and address Whisper reinforce the idea that this aversion to company is an issue of anxiety or discomfort: that Whisper is definitively introverted and likes to operate alone (besides the wisps), instead of being forced to.

One of the bigger reasons I want to resurface this initial characterization of Whisper is because it is so interesting to have a member of the cast who IS genuinely introverted and doesn't want to deal with a large number of people. Even the more antisocial/lone wolf of Sonic's friends are that way because they simply don't connect or see a reason to become close to other people, not because it bothers them in particular.

Whisper, at this point, is a very unique example of someone shy still involving themselves in the fight, instead of the more common bombastic or loud personalities. Espio is probably the only other 'quiet' character, and that's still different because he isn't really 'shy'.

Then we see a little change in Tangle & Whisper, upon first being introduced to the idea that Whisper's current quiet personality is due to personal trauma and not simply a facet of the person she is, in seeing her pre-trauma personality be more enthusiastic. (BIG EDIT: I could elaborate more in a separate addition, but pre-T&W, Whisper is seen smiling far often than in T&W proper - so this is relegating the smiling to pre-trauma, instead of adding smiling at all - but the enthusiasm is new!)

This is every line of dialogue we see from pre-trauma Whisper in Tangle & Whisper. We can see only two panels where she's smiling; in one, with her eyes wide open, and in the other, with her eyes closed as is more typical of Whisper as she was introduced. The other three panels only contain dialogue, which does allow some inferences on Whisper's demeanor and personality.

This 2-panel sequence has the most information to speculate off - Whisper makes a statement in two parts. The particular decision to make "Tank inbound." a separate separate sentence implies it is spoken tersely, or while Whisper is in 'mission-focus', and less likely with a playful tone. This then contrasts her "Never mind!" and giggle in the next panel, building an impression that she's typically got a serious focus (at least while on a mission), but lets humor leak through when things go their way.

The other thing to note is that these panels are a very limited sample set, and the visual appearances are biased - when expressing gratitude to someone, or taking a group picture, it's only natural to put a smile on, even if you don't typically smile most of the time. We also only see Whisper around individuals she's already familiar with, so there's not necessarily any proof that at this point Whisper doesn't have any social anxiety, or that she would necessarily conflict with her earlier appearances around Sonic and Silver and everyone else.

So while Tangle & Whisper introduced the idea of Whisper being louder before losing her teammates, it's the 2024 annual that REALLY dials it up:

Whisper not whispering in the slightest, and in fact being a motormouth!

Whisper with wide eyes and/or a smile in virtually every panel she appears in, and thriving while in the thick of the group or having one of the others' attention on her, and...

...Whisper pulling this specific expression, which quite resembles the expression Tangle made while also seeing someone else display a really cool power they have.

It's almost strange to me, because we do have a good reason for Whisper to become more outgoing and outspoken... but that's in the present time period due to Tangle's influence, not necessarily her pre-trauma self!

The choice to rebuild Whisper as someone as inherently extroverted and attention-loving as Tangle also builds a comparison between the two: the idea that they started out so similarly, you can't help but wonder if the implication given is that Tangle going through Whisper's situation would result in the same personality developments, because Whisper's quiet personality is retroactively attributed to the trauma she gained, instead of being her natural personality.

Personally, I'm very fond of the characterization Whisper has closer to her introduction, and I would find it boring to effectively reduce her and Tangle to the same base personality, give or take tail powers and some trauma, instead of leaving them as distinct people at core: that even if they had gone through the same experiences, they'd still come out a little different, but they strive to understand and work with each other anyways.

...I've also got a meta-gripe in that you can write Whisper positively with Tangle's traits, but Tangle's in the thick of getting judged for having them...

at the library today one of the elderly ladies i've been teaching basic smartphone usage got so outraged at learning how commercial streaming platforms work that for a moment i heard the devil whisper in my ear, like, imagine. you could turn a barely tech literate person into a pirating master. imagine how invaluable she'd be to her friend group and then at an old folk's home
