Dear Big Brother

kind of a sequel to this comic

[starry-bi-sky]

do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.

His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.

His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.

Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.

Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.

Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.

But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.

But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.

He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.

And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.

And the truth is worse than all of the lies.

How horrifying.

I'm only halfway through the second phase of Predathos (which, to be clear is an incredible vibe for a bossfight, love a good head & hands/multitarget-same-entity boss) but I cannot shake the feeling of disappointment and just dissatisfaction I have had with this campaign that definitely started with Dusk/Yu, got followed up handily with the first Delilah/Sun Tree fight and then has been unfortunately reinforced with every discussion surrounding the Prime Deities since Hearthdell. This campaign is fascinating to pick apart, I have been really enjoying pulling apart why it isn't working compared to C1 or C2. But as much as I'm having fun dissecting where the worldbuilding has led to the current weaknesses in the gods' argument or reading other people's incisive commentary on the lack of personalities on the Ruby Vanguard's end, the "girlfailure" nonsense, etc etc, man do I wish this campaign was better than it is.

There are so many avenues of improvement -

Matt telling everyone to prep and write characters for this campaign instead of a C2-esque character-focused campaign.

Matt working religious organisations into the world properly.

The cast engaging with Marquet as a genuine location rather than set-dressing.

Otohan, Ozo and the rest of the Vanguard having more than "*insert snappy line here*" for their personalities.

No Delilah.

Bell's Hells having an iota of curiosity for anything outside of their own selves, including but not limited to: the gods, religious worship, the Elemental Titans and why they were sundered, how the people of Exandria feel about the gods, Vasselheim and its role in suppressing information about Predathos, Ludinus Da'Leth's plan and how it would still break the world if they did it in his place

I don't know why all of this fell into place in the way that it did, but it did. We can endlessly speculate why - the cast resting on their laurels after C2, not having enough time between the animated shows and Daggerheart and Candela Obscura and, and, and - but at the end of the day I really do hope that whatever form the final campaign wrap-up takes, they burn the damn questions asking the cast "what if the world was made of pudding and this character and this character kissed?" and instead pick questions that get them to introspect for a potential Campaign 4. Otherwise I don't know what will happen, but it sure as hell won't be Mighty Nein part 2: Issylra Boogaloo.

This is what a funeral on Oa looks like. One of the Guardians of the Universe was murdered and is being put to rest within the Central Power Battery itself, becoming one with the energy that powers the Green Lantern Corps.

Green Lantern (2021) Issue #2

There isn't any emotional weight to this scene, largely because Koyos is some random Guardian of the Universe who was introduced in the previous issue and not a character with a long history like Ganthet or Sayd. Still, it does give us some insight into some of the practices of the Corps.

Notice the modified uniforms that John, Kilowog, and Guy are wearing. Earlier in the issue, John refers to this as "mourning dress." When you take into consideration the context of the Emotional Spectrum, it's rather symbolic that the funeral attire of a Green Lantern is almost all the color of death, with only hints of their usual green present. White, the color of life, is totally absent. Also the glowing sigil of the Corps on the chest being the only light amidst the darkness? Chef's kiss.

Now you may have noticed that Hal and Kyle look more like their usual selves (actually Kyle is wearing his post-Ion uniform but he changes his outfit so often I genuinely don't know if this was intended or a continuity error). They're not actually there, and are instead projecting constructs of themselves across the universe. Crazy stuff, though previous comics have established that this is something that GLs are capable of.

Now, Nemosyne's narration indicates that this is a funeral rite that is unique to Maltusians. Which does line up with the established canon that fallen Green Lanterns are usually interred in the Crypts of Oa- at least, the ones whose remains could be recovered and presumably weren't delivered to family.

Granted, that crypt did get emptied out during Blackest Night, so how cool would it have been if this kind of ceremony was now the norm for the Corps? Imagine if the Central Battery that is the source of the power they wield and the symbol they wear in life, is also the final resting place for those who make the ultimate sacrifice in service to the Green Lanterns' sacred oath. Becoming one with the willpower that charges their power rings, strengthening their family from beyond the grave.

[spamdelta]

for any of my og followers u prolly know already that in my au aster (lightworld gaster, essentially) is spamton's secret caller/benefactor, and in the process he isolates spamton and forces him to change (setting up for the whole "puppet" transformation) for his own benefits (aka fucking around and finding out until he realizes fucking around and finding out was an entirely BAD idea). but i was thinking, for spamtenna purposes....

when the library laptop is brought to the dreamurr living room and spamton and tenna meet, at first they're like rivals because they're both popular and have similiar qualities and charisma (theyre both like "he's stealing my look!!!!". or at least tenna is). But eventually, word gets out and tenna finds out that spamton pretty much became a bigshot overnight – he was nothing to EVERYTHING in such a short amount of time. And tenna wants to know WHY.

So he reaches out to spamton, proposing a deal: he can make him an even BIGGER bigshot by putting him on tv. He'll be a STAR! All Spamton has to do is tell his little secret; how he became a bigshot in the first place. Tenna hopes this deal will convince Spamton to accept and thus tenna will be able to reap the benefits from Spamton and become a BIGSHOT, too – maybe even bigger than spamton. Hopefully bigger than spamton. But Tenna's not gonna tell him that.

Spamton, of course, refuses. Because Aster would kill him. And besides, Spamton isn't suppose to get close to anybody anymore – he's a bigshot now, it'd get in the way of his work and public persona. He cant get close to anybody. He's not allowed to be himself.

Tenna's disappointed with this, but he doesn't give up easily. Despite their rivalry, he tries to get closer to Spamton.. Gets to know him better. Starts looking forward to talking to him. Starts actually enjoying his company. Starts actually seeing him as a friend. Oh no.

Spamton, on the other hand, is trying hard NOT to be interested in tenna's antics. He's a bigshot! He can't afford friends!!!! His career is ruined if he gets too close to anybody!!!

He brings this up to Aster one day, on a call. Aster thinks on it for a bit... considering options. But then, surprisingly, he suggests Spamton should collaborate with Tenna.. it MAY be a good idea to work with the T.V., since having a collaborator like that WOULD increase his clicks and make him a bigger salesman (though it also might alleviate some work on Aster's part, but he's not gonna tell Spamton that). However, under absolutely NO circumstances, Spamtons CANNOT tell Tenna his secret to success – or about aster, period. Aster doesn't trust Tenna, and does NOT want Tenna to jeopardize everything he's worked for. He want's the situation simple. Controlled.

Spamton is silent at first, then after a beat he agrees. He has to – his benefactor is always right. Always knows what's best for him. After agreeing, Aster immediately instructs what Spamton should tell Tenna next time they cross.

the next time Spamton sees tenna, he immediately strikes up a new deal – similiar to tenna's deal, but... different. Spamton offers they collaborate through both TV and the web: Spamton can show his ads on TV after Tenna's show, and Tenna can learn how to make it in this advancing technological world (because, after being pestered by Tenna so much, Spamton discovered that Tenna is NOT tech saavy with anything beyond tv or plugs. He doesn't even know what an email is!)

Hearing this, Tenna is ECSTATIC! Sure, it's not the original deal he wanted, but it's a start!! And who knows, maybe after some time their partnership and friendship can grow, and maybe, JUST maybe... spamton can finally tell tenna his secret to being a bigshot (now that he likes spamton, he doesn't really want to SURPASS spamton anymore.. but he wants to RELISH in it with spamton). Tenna agrees to the deal, and soon starts the beginning of their new business partnership.

But, as time passes....... they DO grow closer. Very closer. And tenna catches feelings for Spamton. Which is great for Tenna! He loves talking with spamton. He loves when Spamton watches movies late at night when theyre hanging out in the break room after hours. He loves spamton.

But spamton, oh, spamton... He's afraid. As both he and tenna get closer... He really starts seeing Tenna as an actual friend. He's trying his best to deny his feelings, but he just likes Tenna too much. And that's a problem, because he's not supposed to like Tenna as a friend. They're business partners. It has to be professional. If it isn't, and Aster somehow found out...... he doesnt even want to think about it. It wouldnt be good. It'd be disastrous, probably.

And to spamton's dismay, he and tenna start getting closer. And as they get closer, Spamton starts realizing things.. He loves when Tenna talks to him energetically. He loves when tenna walks into the room in mornings and greets him with an enthusiastic "GOOOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!" and smiles. He loves when Tenna smiles and is just... himself. No gameshow, no performance, just himself.

And that's when, Spamton realizes the worst:

He's in love.

With Tenna.

Oh no.

I've read a lot of headcanons and theories that try to explain why Fiddleford went from taller than the Stan twins to much shorter.

and sure terrible posture is partially to blame, but look at how all of McGucket is just smaller.

may I propose a canon and likely answer:

[yinyuedijun]

Will they ACTUALLY rape her or will they attempt and fail??

(Idk how you can answer this ask without spoiling the story for others😭)

it's okay my blog is NOT spoiler free for my fics 😭

cw spoilers for SoW and discussion of rape

they definitely do rape her in the other timeline where mydei has a younger half-brother. it's basically an alternate timeline that puts the reader through what should have realistically happened to her during the sack of aurelia, as well as its aftermath. she gets abducted and is kept as a sex slave.

for this current timeline, I'm on the fence about whether king eurypon actually assaults her or if he just threatens it. I was not going to go that route initially (I reaaally don't want to AGLFHSLFHDL rape recovery narratives are so much work to write) but I also find it hard to justify her somehow avoiding it. idk. we will see how it plays out 😭

either way, in all cases, the sexual assault is not going to be on-screen!
