My DCU Obsession

Echo/Viv. Any pronouns. Echoverse (My DC AU)

[mind-the-echo]

Being a Superman fan and a Batman who is on Tumblr and doesn't ship SuperBat is such a weird experience. I don't hate the ship, nor the people who ship it (ship and let ship), and I do see why people ship it so much. But it's not my favorite dynamic and I just think that there's just so many more interesting pairings with the two of them. I sort of just skip past any SuperBat fanart.

Tangent: I also don't really want Battinson in the DCU. Nothing against The Batman 2022, but I just personally don't like it with the established universe as it stands. I might change my mind on that, but I don't really want it. I think Gunn should develop more of the DCU before adding Batman anyways.

I thought that man and the chimp were friends. I was thinking they were about to go an adventure together.

FREDDIE STROMA as ADRIAN CHASE/VIGILANTE in PEACEMAKER

[mind-the-echo]

I have a problem, and his name is Adrian Chase

He's such a sweet little guy

[imakequestionablechoices]

love these kinds of memes and love peacemaker sooo

master list

[mind-the-echo]

So I just finished watching Peacemaker Season One yesterday and I LOVE THAT SHOW SO MUCH!!! I love the cast so much. I love Vigilante. I LOVE HOW MUCH VIGILANTE HATES CHRIS' DAD. Adrian would do ANYTHING for Chris. He is so silly. He's a sociopath who enjoys killing people and he's also a dork who really loves his best friend.

I did some pretty messy sketches while I was listening to a Podcast.

I love him the normal amount, definitely

I'm watching the Smallville Pilot with my friend, because they've not seen it yet, and when it got to the part where Lana's parents get hit with the meteor and my friend goes "Orphan Time!" right before it hit them.

[Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018. Arkham Asylum]

Edward Nygma's holding cell, along with every other cell on that block of the asylum, had been flooded. It was expected to happen every once in a while with a building with so little routine maintenance. But, as to be expected, there were no empty cells. Obviously, they couldn't keep all of the high-threat criminals without holding cells. So the prisoners patients that were lacking a room had to be relocated until the problem could be mended.

Crane was eventually placed with Jonathan Crane. Many of the orderlies were concerned about this arrangement, but Dr. Arkham had assured everyone that the situation was only temporary, and if anything looked suspicious about the inmates, everything would be handled. Not that his words especially sparked any ease.

Jon and Edward seemed peaceful enough. They didn't seem to talk much during the day. Edward was uncharacteristically silent with the other man.

Later at night, well after lights out, Jonathan sat on the stiff mattress staring at Edward, struggling to fall asleep in his uncomfortable cot. The cell was unbearably cold. Of course, the Asylum had a state-of-the-art surveillance system and practically unlimited funds from Bruce Wayne, yet still had zero insulation. To be fair, who would want to spend all the much money to install insulation to make the livelihoods of dangerous criminals better? They weren't worth such grace. They were barely people.

They didn't even provide adequate blankets to make up for the lack of heating. Edward was already uncomfortable enough with the rigid bedding in his cell and now he had to sleep in a cot two feet away Jonathan Crane. Not that he didn't like Jon; they were relatively friendly for being such drastically different rogues, but the close quarters definitely didn't do anything to put him at ease.

"Edward," Crane said, "I know you're still awake over there. What's keeping you up?"

Edward turned over to look at the bed. "What? Are you concerned?"

"No. Your tossing around is keepin' me up."

Edward rolled his eyes, despite the darkness of the room, meaning Jon was not able to see it. "I doubt you would sleep well even without it. It's cold and you're famously an insomniac."

"Arkham ain't exactly known for comfort." Jonathan laid back down in the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.

Ed, still cold and comfortable in the cot, stood up and moved over to Jonathan's bed. He looked down at the other man.

"What?"

"It's cold." Edward leaned over the bed.

Jon stared at him for a minute before moving to blanket out of the way to let Ed get into the bed with him. Edwrad hummed as he relaxed into Jon.

Some Dork Squad (and some Superman) incorrect quotes, because I can and I'm bored.

flashback to Testimony #2

Two Face: I'm sorry, could you make her stop doing that weird thing with her face?

Defense Attorney, next to the crying defendant: …Crying?

Riddler (brainstorming ideas for pranking Mad Hatter): How much could a serial killer mask possibly cost?

Scarecrow: Well, it’s hard to find a high-quality one made out of leather or silicone, but if you did find a good one like that, it’d be a couple thousands of dollars. I can try to hook you up with one, but I don’t know if I’d be very successful.

Scriddler bring cannon would provide NOTHING to the podcast, and the romance sub-plot would overshadow everything.

It's not even as if it were unanimous that all fans enjoyed the ship, if he did make it canon; not only would it establish a terrible precedent of "if we annoy him enough he'll do way we want" but also it'd only satisfy like maybe 15 maybe 20% of the audience.

It wouldn't be about the rouges anymore- it'd be The Scriddler Podcast, Scriddler! The Podcast.

And as an actual fan of Scriddler, EVEN I DON'T WANT THAT. I want the Podcast to play out as intended, and I am heavily against harassment- especially over things like this.

No one would benefit from this becoming cannon except a small group if people. Which is just selfish, especially when there's other options.

Even the canonical couples don't get that much attention. It would make no sense to dedicate so much dead time to develop a romantic relationship between two characters that have NEVER shown any interest in each other when so many other interesting things are going on.

If people love the beautiful world that Codot and Dee have created, so let's nurture the minds that thought of it instead of throwing hate at them for not doing the little things that we want for our own selfish reasons so they can continue to create that beautiful world.

The podcast has so many interesting ideas and concepts- let's not ignore all that because this this and that isn't the exact way we wanted.

This is exactly what I'm saying. I do ship Scriddler, but I definitely don't want it to be canon in Rogues!. It wouldn't work well with the plot. It is so unfair to Codot and Dee to have their interest in their passion project be destroyed by people harassing them over a fucking ship. Certain people need to learn basic fandom etiquette.

If you really have a problem, read fanfiction and keep it out of the creator's way. This is pathetic.

[mind-the-echo]

I agree with prev anon it really pisses me off how toxic parts of the fandom spread into the good side and fuckin it up for all of us and most importantly the creator of his creation we all enjoy just because of a fuckin ship.

It's types of people like these make me wanna stay away from fandoms and creators in fear creator may get harassed and go away from the Internet permanently and I can't interact anymore with creator and fans happily anymore.

I feel this. It's part of the reason I was so scared to actually get into Rogues!, because I had seen a bit of it on Tumblr but I didn't want to get my hopes up because it was still only up to season six and I know how quickly you can get discouraged from harassment. It really sucks how the loud minority of fandoms can completely take over and ruin it for everyone else.

For a fandom made entirely on Tumblr, there's a surprising lack of fandom etiquette. Although, I can't say it's entirely shocking.

[mind-the-echo]

Dude people really have to chill because Canonical Ed and Jon would NOT be compatible as a romantic couple-

Sexualities aside- romantic relationships demand A LOT MORE then typically friendships, they'd break up after day two.

They're relationship still has value even though it's not romantic. They still obviously care about each other and can open up about things to one another and thats beautiful- the ONLY benefit of their relationship being romantic is that maybe they'd kiss- but thus is a podcast- no one wants to hear fucking kissing sounds.

Anyway- my point is that I think harassing someone over your ship not being canon is insane and just really petty. There is TONS of AMAZING fan art and fan fiction depicting these two romantically- like storm_warning on A03, they are fucking amazing

People need to be fans in Fandom spaces not crying to the creator- no one watched The Batman and wrote a 10 page email to Warner Bros about how they're upset Riddler and Batman didn't kiss, so why would it be okay to harass Codot about this? That's not his problem.

If you don't like it just read some fan fiction and don't listen to the podcast.

What the fuck.

Exactly!

I don't think having a canon relationship would even work that well. Codot has already stated that he doesn't like writing romantic relationships.

If people want to see the relationship beyond the friendship that is in the canon, just read fanfiction. If you don't like the writing in the original canon, write something yourself.

Harassing creators will only ever succeed in making the creator hate you.
