Doug Ramsay and the art of the Slowroll

In Inferno (2022) a lot happened. It was Jonathan Hickman's final Krakoan work and he clearly wanted to shake up the board on his way out. Spoilers obviously.

One of my favourite moments is Doug interrupting Lesbian Terrorist Power Couple - Destiny and Mystique - when they were about to kill the depowered Moira MacTaggert.

Look at his gorgeous twinky self baiting them into a physical confrontation.

What about my transhumanist polycule - Bei, The Blood Moon, my unfuckwithable Warrior wife, my robot life partner Warlock, and Krakoa, the very sexy island you live on? Lol, Moira does not look happy. Then again, they cut her arm off and depowered her. She probably needs medical attention ASAP. That's how you Slowroll.

Doug looks so happy with himself, but can you blame him? I've seen a lot of speculation that Doug was going to be an antagonist if COVID and writers enjoying act 1 of Krakoa too much didn't happen. I think I would have enjoyed that, though I don't really see it tbh. The only arguably dropped thread here is Destiny confidently predicting that Doug would consolidate power, which didn't really happen in any meaningful antagonist way. He was pretty consistently the voice of Krakoa and its conscience on the Quiet Council.

Who can blame him for that, or for not taking Charles Xavier at his word here? I'd love to have his thoughts on what those most untrustworthy incidents were.

Oof. Slowroll within slowrolls. The kid's a master. Now he's a golden idiot. Can't win em all.

Review: Wolverine #9- Today Is A Victory Over Yourself Of Yesterday

“Bidding War”Written by Benjamin PercyArt by Adam KubertColors by Frank MartinLetters and Production VC’s Cory Petit I have been told to check out Percy’s Wolverine for some time. It was billed to me as a classic feeling X-book in a sea of Dawn of X/ Reign of X titles. Now, I do find the Hickman era to be great, but I do enjoy a good Wolverine solo series. They tend to be fun visceral stories…

X of Swords ending marks the end of one Era...and the start of the next.

Planet-Size X-Men (Cover art by Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia)

[morose-magnetrix]

I found this in my WIP doc earlier today - I’m not sure if I’ll ever finish it tbh.

Working Title: X-Factor Resurrection

Characters: Lorna & Wanda

Summary: A short little moment of sisterly bonding at the second Hellfire Gala

Lorna felt the chill hit her mouth before the drink’s sickly sweet taste cut through. She wrinkled her nose, before taking another sip of the drink, just to confirm. The jewels she was suspending in air just below her ears shook out of alignment for a moment.

“There’s no fucking alcohol in this shit,” Lorna grumbled. “I can’t believe they’re cutting me off.”

She let herself privately imagine what she would do to the Madrox who had served her the drink when she found them, and then Lorna sighed and let it go. She’d long since lost count of the number of drinks she’d had at the gala anyways. Maybe a little breather would be good for her.

Wanda was doing her best to hide an ever so subtle smirk. She was pretending to be fully focused on Lila Cheney’s set, humming bits of the tune as she had no idea what the words were. Lorna didn’t think Wanda had ever even listened to a Lila Cheney song - Wanda didn’t have a single song on her Spotify Wrapped that had been made after 1972. Lorna had made Wanda a lengthy playlist back in January, and despite Wanda swearing that she had given it a try, Lorna was unconvinced Wanda had ever even clicked play.

Maybe the ten hour runtime had scared her adopted sister off.

“Wanda… Did you turn my drink into soda?” Lorna asked, an edge to her voice.

“What? Me? I would never,” Wanda said, the smirk only growing slightly as she tried to proclaim innocence. “It’s rude of you to accuse me like that.”

Lorna furrowed her brow. “You totally did,” she pouted.

God, when are people going to stop treating me like a fucking kid? First Jean, now Wanda…

It had been a year since Jean had manipulated Lorna’s don’t pick me plea and gotten her elected to the X-Men. Jean always did what she thought was best, no matter what other people had to feel about it. And to make things worse, Jean had been fucking right - Lorna had loved just about every minute on this X-Men team, probably the first time in her life that she had actually wanted to be a part of the capeshit craziness.

Wanda shrugged, turning to face her sister. “I guess we will never know,” she teased slightly. “So, my dear sister… What’s next for Lorna Dane, PhD?” she asked earnestly.

Her hair was cascading all around her, at one point turning into a galaxy of magical stars. Wanda was positively glowing, no longer the Pretender, the mutant boogeyman - but finally the Redeemer, a great friend of Krakoa. Lorna knew that Wanda’s plans were for the future, now that she had finally hit her stride - she had talked about helping those in need, beyond just her calling with the Avengers. Wanda had even rattled off shop name ideas to Lorna late one night, when they were in couture PJs and eating ice cream out of the container as Legally Blonde played in the background.

“To be honest, Dr. Dane… has no fucking idea,” Lorna admitted.

A little bit of tension left her body as she admitted that. It felt good.

“Whatever it is, you’re going to do great,” Wanda promised. “You’ll figure it out - I know you will. Call it a witch’s intuition.”

One Year Later…

Phantom letters - DPXDC PROMPT

The bats wake up one day to the internet going crazy; people around the world were getting letters from they're diseased loved ones. The reactions are mixed, from people being outraged for the "prank" to people crying in melancholy at getting closure.

All the letters have something in common: They're closed with a green sealing wax that had an stylize DP and the name Phantom beneath it. Posts about the cards were using the # Phantom Letters.

The bats are discussing the viral posts in the cave when Alfred comes holding a basket filled with letters, announcing they were left at the doors. The letters had the sealing wax that they recognize from the posts. Checking the cameras they can see how they glitch before the basket appears.

Alfred starts to distribute the letters that had only one destinatary. Letters from each Thomas and Martha to both Bruce and Alfred. Letters from each John and Mary to Dick. A letter from Catherine to Jason. A letter from the Drake's to Tim, and another one to Bruce.

Once they had calmed down enough from the shock, Alfred proceeded to read the shared recipients. From Thomas and Martha to "The grandchildren we never got to meet." From John and Mary to "the family that took our little Robin in." Letters from Catherine to "My little boys family." The letters were directed to people the deceased didn't get to meet.

As much as the mere existence of the letters tugged at their hearts, they decided to not read them until they verified that the handwriting actually belong to the ones it claimed. They checked each letter, and in the end confirmed the letters were in fact from they're lost love ones.

After much discussion, each person makes the decision to read they're own letters later in private, and they proceed to read the ones that shared recipients out loud. The letter mentioned specifics like names and events that the deceased shouldn't have been able to know, including they're vigilante abilities, which had them pause each time to panic a bit. But what was more interested were certain pieces of the letters that mentioned a Prince Phantom.

"Prince Phantom said to don't mention things past our death, but it wasn't a command, so we're hoping this won't be much of a problem." - John and Mary

"I still can't believe Prince Phantom is letting us do this, but I'm so glad." - Catherine

It finally paints the mystery in a more concerning light when at the end of Thomas and Martha's letter there is a call for help.

"We're sorry for ending the letter on a serious tone, but seeing the kind of job you all get involved in, we wanted to ask: Could you please help Prince Phantom? Phantom had asked us to not give information about this, but he's so young, and has already been hurt so much. Please, check on Amity Park, Illinois."

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Meanwhile, team Phantom has decided that they needed to get the news about the GIW out of Amity and ask for help. Two problems:

the GIW blocks any technological attempt made.

People might be afraid to learn that ghosts exist and side with the GIW.

As a way to deal with the public image, Phantom opens a possibility that the death have never had:

"All afterlives are open to write letters to their love ones that are still alive today. Nothing that includes threats, and don't go talking about the anti-ecto acts or Amity Park yet, we're trying to ease people into our existence first. Also, I know you all check on your love ones when the veil is thin, but please keep the things you shouldn't know out of the letters if possible. If you want your letter to be sent in the first batch, make sure to deliver your letter before the week ends."

Letters are a good way to reconnect people with the death, they aren't digital, and the GIW won't be able to intercept letters if they're send through inter-dimensional portals. Two birds in one shot.
