MOVING!

Since I don't do that much here anymore, I'm moving Beelzebub and Kara over to @thesweetestsupervillains

So that's where I'll be! That way I have one account and not two. So if you're interested, I'll be over there.

Ino didn't say a single word, just grabbed her girlfriend by the arm, and pulled her to their shared bed. Arms automatically moving to her middle, pulling her closer into a cuddling position. The blonde was needy for attention, and Kara was just going to deal with a cuddly girlfriend for the rest of the day.

Oh, Kara was more than happy to have a cuddly girlfriend who needed her. Kara loved to be needed after all. She wasted no time in petting Ino's hair, and whispering sweet, relaxing nothings into her ear. Were her eyes glowing? Surely she was imagining it. But it was so easy to relax when your girlfriend was turning your body into a limp puddle of good vibes and cuddles...

[infinitelycomplexpuzzles]

Ino doesn't say a word, just comes around to give her girlfriend one of many kisses~

And Kara is absolutely going to kiss her back. Oh does she love this woman.

But it does put her in the mood.

[minds-interlinked]

"A trip to the beach sounds fun! Haven't gone to one in a while, so I'm definitely up for it!" She exclaimed happily. "Would give me an excuse to wear my newest swimsuit, so it sounds like a plan. Just give me a moment to get my stuff together so we can head out together."

[infinitelycomplexpuzzles]

"Oh, an opportunity to see you in something new? Well, I can't say I'm against that..." Cue her attempts at flirting. "It won't take me too long to be ready. Just let me know when you are, alright? After all, I'll set things up for us before we go~" Gotta make sure they had a good place to stay, after all. She did consider just showing up and mind controlling people to get a place to stay, but she figured Ino might object to that. Ah well, that was okay.

[minds-interlinked]

@infinitelycomplexpuzzles liked for a starter~ (for Kara)

"Hey Kara, what do you think about us taking a mini vacation? Figured I'd take your advice, and take things easy for a while. So for the next couple of weeks, I'm all yours." Ino knew she was awfully busy most of the time, and normally that meant she hadn't much time to spare for her girlfriend, but the Yamanaka was really trying. And so she hoped Kara would appreciate this.

[infinitelycomplexpuzzles]

"Oh? And I didn't even need to persuade you~" She was joking. She'd never mind control Ino to do that. Probably. Not secretly though. All the same, she was thrilled to hear that she had weeks with her lover.

"Now, what should we do, hm? Beach trip maybe? Or something colder? I'm game for either. So long as we're together of course." Oh dear, she was not getting rid of Kara in this situation...

[minds-interlinked]

@infinitelycomplexpuzzles asked: someone else made these decisions for me."

For Ino! "I HAVE TO BE BETTER THAN THIS" PROMPTS

"Who was it? What did they make you do?" Ino already hated the sound of that. Her wonderful girlfriend shouldn't have to do anything because of anyone else. She should be allowed to do whatever she wants.

"Do you need me to do anything about it? Because I will! I don't like the idea of anyone making you do anything you don't want to!"

[infinitelycomplexpuzzles]

"My father, of course. His infamy is what made me such an object of fear and loathing for people. I know you don't hate and fear me, or think poorly of me... But many people do because I'm purple."

"Granted, I can make them see differently, but I dislike forcing things if I don't need to."

// sometimes, writers remember that villains, real supervillains, should be possessive of their heroes, and be willing to do seemingly irrational things because there is no real overarching concept of 'good and evil' as much as there is selfishness and altruism

bad people can do the right thing if it serves their own personal interests!

// fucking hell DC's newest event is ass

One thing about being aware of shitty comics is that you can tell when they're recycling ideas

in this case, DC is trying to recycle Wanted, itself a shitty comic

for those unaware, Wanted is a comic where the villains win by brainwashing the world and all its heroes to erase the fact that there ever were heroes to begin with thus allowing supervillains to do whatever they wanted

it's exactly as stupid as it sounds

also, I really hate that DC just decided that Amanda Waller is now a cosmic level threat to the universe

it really feels like the whole 'actually batman is a godlike figure because every hero needs to be'

and that's without mentioning that we have the paint by numbers 'one of the heroes betrayed the others!'

great to see them throwing out like 80 years of Green Arrow bleeding heart liberalism to make him a fascist because TWIST

ALSO THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED DO YOU FUCKERS NOT REMEMBER THE GODWAVE

And no one, no one, believes you forever depowered your most iconic heroes and villains forever. That's such a stupid premise that it's impossible to take seriously. You can't do the whole 'no more superpowers' thing in a medium predicated on superpowers. It's not believeable.

ALSO WHY IS THERE A FEMALE BRAINIAC ITS A ROBOT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE SEXUAL DESIRE FOR BOOBS WHY IS THERE A FEMALE BRAINIAC

We're one issue into this and it's giving me an aneurysm.

[infinitelycomplexpuzzles]

"Kara-chan!" Ino exclaimed, clinging to her girlfriend's arm. "I think we should go on a date. It's been a while since our last, and I just want to be near you."

"Well, I'll certainly never turn down more time with you, love. But you know, every time we do this, you suddenly seem to have to do something somewhere. You wouldn't run off on me this time too, hm?"

@torntruth

The great game was afoot.

The Court had long since played the Assassins and Templars against each other; such was the best way for them to ensure their own dominance in their own city, and indeed over vast swaths of the nation now known as America. Yet that didn't mean that the threat of either force had disappeared; in fact, it had only increased with the passing of years.

The assassins were easier to handle; disunited, disparate, overly emotional. The Court preferred them to the Templars; those high minded idealists who worshipped at the alter of alien gods and ancient prophecies rather than live in a practical, grounded reality. In truth though, what made them annoying was their unity and organization. It was never as easy as nipping one in the bud as it was with the Assassins.

Assassins lived and died by the ability of their organizer; when they were charismatic and capable, they flourished. When they were less than that, they floundered. But Templars were far too organized; and with that came arrogance.

And arrogance was a debt that required payment. Payment at the hands of their Talon, no less.

Travelling so far was strange for a Talon, but the threat coming out of London these days was so great as to require a direct and firm hand. The assassins would undoubtedly notice that someone was butchering lots of people even remotely affiliated with the Templars; after all, this Talon was not particularly subtle.

Still, he considered himself skilled enough to not be caught, which was why he was now surprised to see someone almost waiting for him on this rooftop. Someone he knew from his briefings.

"So you're the lady of the Frie siblings. Are you here to impede my work, or are you simply slow at doing yours?"

(Dionysus) "what if they don't like me?" (Hinata Hyuga)

The wine god swirls ambrosia in his glass, looking thoughtful for a moment. "What if they don't?" He just lets that question float there for a moment. "What does it matter if they do or don't like you? If they don't, they don't, if they do, they do; what benefit does it give you to worry about that now?"

"Of course, I doubt anyone could truly dislike you. But why worry about what others will think or do before they do it, when the stakes are so low? People sort themselves out of your life rather easily; it's best to just throw yourself out there, and if it doesn't work out, all you've lost is the effort you put in."
