#they would exploit the shit out of this

Why does no one take advantage of the fact that the sides can literally dress one another? Gimme Remus and Roman arguing about something, Roman getting heated and swearing to chop off Remus’ limbs and keep them from regrowing when Remus suddenly smirks, and points behind them.

Roman just hears a “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK” before he turns around and sees Virgil there, in a very.. revealing and jaw dropping outfit that makes his brain make dial up noises for the next ten minutes while Remus just laughs at him and Logan sighs in exasperation wondering if he should just make a bet with Patton to get them together at this point.

Towa: Dad do you think we can come with you on a patrol? Sesshomaru: What did your mother say? Setsuna: She said "no". Sesshonaru: Moroha, what did your parents say? Moroha: Well -- Sesshomaru: Then what makes you think I will say "Yes"? Moroha: Because they're not the boss of you? Sesshomaru, internally: This is a trap, this is a trap, this is a trap --

You ever think about how in DC, it wouldn’t make much sense to have super developed CGI for movies and practical effects would be more widely used?

Like, most shots that would need to be done via CGI in our universe could be done practically in the dcu. Especially when we began developing early CGI it would be important because there would not have been as big a push or even as big a need to advance CGI to the point where it is today for us. Especially with the comic book tech that people can make & superpowers.

Not to mention people with specific meta abilities would be highly sought out in the film industry.

For example:

In the beginning of CGI being used for fluid dynamics, large realistic CGI water scenes took an absolute shit ton of mathematics, rendering time, and a ridiculous amount of money. They were complicated to do, took a long time and again, it was expensive. Really, really expensive. So, big shots of digital water were done only for big monumental scenes that the director wanted a big impact in or had a lot of significance. Otherwise, unless there was an absolute need for a large digital water shot and they had a massive budget, scenes like that wouldn’t even come across directors minds as at the time, it simply wasn’t feasible. 

So, what would a good solution to doing a massive water scene in, let’s say, the 70s in the DCU? The answer: Do it practically. It’d not only be cheaper but would take far less time and effort. Honestly, the hardest thing would be finding metas with the specific abilities needed.

So, for that water scene hire 50 metas (my headcannon is that most metas don’t have very strong or flashy abilities. so you’d need a Lot of people for something like this.) that together can choreograph & move the water in the way needed for the shot.

But because hiring someone to make a device or via using metas can achieve the effects wanted, the film industry would continue to rely on doing effects that would, in our world, need to be done with CGI but to them can be done with gadgets and superpowers. And while our CGI programs progressed and made breakthroughs, in DC there would be less stress on developing such tech as it wasn’t needed nearly as often. As a result, it would become semi-standard to hire metas for certain types of practical effects. Hell, it would probably become more expensive to hire metas for these effects as time went on as big blockbuster movies would go on to make these insane, before impossible to make scenes using metas’ abilities. The practice would fall in & out of use as metas would fall in and out of public opinion as politics and history continued in the DCU but it would definitely remain a cemented practice in filmmaking.

Anyways, it would mean that metas with specific abilities that favor certain practical effects would be sought after in the film industry.

For example of abilities sought and why:

- minor weather control: for… weather control. Also, who needs to spray a set full of asbestos snow when a guy can come over & make it snow over your set to have it be more natural. Or even better, just have a snow gun in the prop department you can use for winter scenes.

- telekinesis: imagine the camera techniques that would be developed due to being able to hold and move a camera via telekinesis, that’s actually sick

- element control based abilities: so much shit. Especially earth based because they would be able to rearrange a landscape. Water: who needs to cgi blood & gore when you have a meta that’s bursting blood packets with chunks of meat in them?

- guns, gadgets, and gizmos: I like to imagine that there is this almost monopoly over props and tech that have advanced tech for people to rent out for filmmaking. Like, as mentioned before, a snow gun for winter scenes. Or, an intangibility ring so an actor can get “stabbed” but not actually get hurt. Etc.

- pyrotechnics/demolition: it’s Hollywood, they love that shit. people with the ability to explode things without having to pay for explosives plus a meta with telekinesis to direct the blast of the explosion safely would be amazing. People with pyrotechnic or demolition abilities would probably need a license to practice safely.

- shapeshifting: body doubles, great for comedies, stunt acting, injury scenes (need an actor to have their hand blown off? No need for prosthetics when there’s a guy that can suddenly have no hand. They could be an extra in every scene and nobody would notice that they’re the same person. 

Also there’d probably eventually be an incident in film where a shapeshifter changed their face to look like a famous actor or a political figure or smth & thought it would be fine but it made a massive uproar and resulted in laws that shapeshifters cannot impersonate real people in media without credit to the person being imitated & their consent with a lot of paperwork necessary.

- acrobatic abilities, fighting, strength, speed: stunt actor.

- control or speak to animals or plants: would help a Lot in skipping some of the effort to train animals for a role.

I just thought it would be cool to consider that due to the metagene and comic book tech existing, certain technology, like CGI & visual effects would develop at a different rate due to most effects being able to be made practically in live-action films.

"getting revenge on the rich"

you say that until its you who is the victim.

have some empathy, you idiot.

I don’t have empathy for rich cunts who go to a festival to watch a giant fucking statue being burnt releasing on average, 100,000 tons of co2 into the atmosphere year after year, further speeding up the death of our planet meanwhile people don’t even have the fucking money to put food on their tables.

I don’t have empathy for rich people who are so out of touch of reality that they couldn’t tell they were exploiting people if it was right in front of their faces.

The rich have never cared about this kind of shit happening to the general public, the people who cannot afford to get themselves out of these situations.

The rich don’t care about you, so stop defending them. Because they sure as fucking hell wouldn’t do the same. Do you know just how many people are being exploited just so these people can have their giant burning statues and private jets?

Take that fucking boot out of your mouth and open your eyes. It’s embarrassing.

PLEASE stand with the members of Fifty Fifty. The record label they're under, Attrakt, has leveraged serious allegations against them in articles that were proven to be the product of bribery. There is documentation proving they were abused by their CEO and overworked even when sick. There is more evidence stacked against the CEO than the girls themselves. If you do any bit of research you'll see this.

The Fifty Fifty situation is only a sliver of the horrors faced by Kpop idols. Suicide is not uncommon. There need to be laws in place protecting idols and ensuring companies cannot exploit their image and talents without fair pay. Mental health is horrible within the industry as a result of idols being overworked. This should not be the norm.

Join the boycott, support the girls, don't let the corruption sway you. Any idols facing workplace mistreatment deserve our full support. After all, you can't have kpop without them.

[It's big salt hours today apparently, but now I can't even just google the score to the Chief's game--which is the only team I really follow in the NFL at least regularly--without being fucking bombarded with shit about Taylor fucking Swift.

Get her fake ass out of my face. I just wanna see the damn score and some highlights since I don't have a way to watch the games rn. And no. Taylor Swift attending a fucking game is not a damn highlight.]

thinking of the very likely possibility there are true crime channels in the rgg universe and one (1) person has probably looked into masato's ''''''death'''''. for shits and giggles of course.

I am watching the junior bake off and the one child is yelling, “it’s red!” while the other yells back “no it’s pink!” and then, they’re yelling “it’s dark pink!” “dark pink IS red!!!!”

I am sorry, but it’s this energy. Kids really are taking after their elders on media:
