Cyrus: *biggest heart eyes*

[utilitycaster]

I love how Cyrus Wyvernwind was first introduced as the mysterious stranger who had tracked down Dorian and was tailing Bells Hells and mostly evading them, and then it came out that he was a seemingly competent guy who had just been in the wrong place at the wrong time, but then it came out that he'd fucked up literally everything in his entire life and also thought he'd killed a pet rock and from there it was just a general downhill slide until now, when the Crown Keepers are treating him the way the Nein treated Kiri except she was a little orphaned kenku child and he is like, a large man who is at minimum like 29 years old.

Bruh, I love this Shrike AU so much. How do you think an encounter with Solomon Grundy would go? I'm seeing a few parallels between the two, and I'm curious as to whether or not Solomon would be able to tell that Shrike is in a similar undead state or if Phantom could pose an actual threat to him. And if he does, how such an encounter would be taken by the Batfam if Phantom was witnessed taking Grundy on in a fight and possibly winning.

I think an encounter with Solomon would be a challenge for Danny whether he's Shrike or Phantom. Solomon would be able tell Shrike isn't fully alive, like looking at a warped version of death much like his own. (side note, Danny and Jason can feel something is up with another due to the whole: not fully dead/alive situation but neither can place why the other feels off.) I don't think Shrike would be able to take on Solomon in any way, not posing as a human, without significant backup. Phantom on the other hand can probably take a good fight with Solomon though it's probably much more difficult than his average fights and struggles to fight a new kind of undead/not fully living being. Phantom probably would pose a threat to Solomon when he decides to use his ghost powers to his fullest abilities, something that Phantom has refrained from using most of his powers in order to fit with the image of being a meta. He doesn't want to make himself seem like a threat to those in Gotham but desperate times call for desperate measures. Phantom probably wins the fight, barely, and isn't seen patrolling for a long while due to how much it took out of him.

The Bat family seeing Phantom fight him alone is quite the feat and I think it would make them realize, especially Batman, that the meta truly is playing nice while in Gotham. Phantom could easily wreck havoc yet here he was, restraining himself. It gives Batman a glimpse at more of Phantom's powers and already starts planning ways to counteract them as well as make him keep a closer eye on the meta in case he starts to slip. Batman doesn't want that kind of power loose, not after what he just saw. Red Robin and Nightwing think the interaction they witness was cool and lands Phantom as one of the good guys in their books for the time being. Robin doesn't seem impressed. Red Hood and Black Bat don't express their option on Phantom and his abilities. Signal personally wants to befriend Phantom after that fight, maybe make the bat family seem less like a threat if he knows there's another meta in the city with him.

‘immortal volo’ this ‘immortal volo’ that what about Volo who gets trapped in the distortion world, bothers Cyrus a lot when he arrives because he hasn’t had human connection in decades and promptly has to get used to/learn how to live in the modern world when Cynthia eventually comes to drag Cyrus back into the normal world.

Really though I am obsessed with the degree to which Cyrus has fucked up. He ended up as the fall guy for a heist on the Treshi gold guild, there's a massive bounty on his head, and what does he do? Why, get involved with a bunch of dashing anti-establishment scoundrels whose security appears to be a freely given password, a credible collateral name, and a cursory vibe check; and then rob a bunch of the most powerful people in the city in cahoots with *checks notes* the Treshi gold guild's apprentice.

I feel like. When Dorian loves people, when he decides they are his, they become his, and there is a sort of responsibility, a certainty, an arrogance, even, to it.

And it's not to say that Dorian doesn't love people he counts as his, because he does (maybe a little too much). But that that love comes with its own mantle, its own weight. He loves these people, so they're his, and so he- is responsible. Responsible for them, for keeping them safe and well.

Not entirely, they're individuals who can make their own decisions and he respects their agency- of course he will. But when push comes to shove, when things get dicey, Dorian relies on himself- to make the hard decisions, to call the shots. It is on him.

Dorian's love is defined by this- by doing the right thing, doing the hard thing, taking responsibility for your people and ensuring their wellbeing, no matter what you have to do. And he trusts the Bells, he looks at Orym and tells him, "I trust your judgement, I trust you", and there are miles and miles of importance to that.

The Bell's Hells are his, and that's why Dorian would unhesitatingly make hard decisions, unpleasant decisions for their benefit. Cyrus, is his, and so Dorian is going to make the hard choices to keep him safe.

(Dorian loves the Bell's, but he also trusts them, to keep themselves safe, to make the right decisions, and that's the crux of it- he loves both of these parties, but he trusts one more.

And if loving people is keeping them safe, keeping them well, even if it sucks- then it's not really a choice at all, is it?)

(Dorian says: "I don't want to be a burden to this group, anymore", and I think about how love and obligation and duty must be so intrinsically linked, in his mind. And what that means, for him.)

Dorian may have been running from his princehood the whole time we've known him. But being responsible for his people, watching for their wellbeing, making the calls so they don't have to- sounds pretty princely to me.
