If anyone wants to rp some Venture Bros related stuff on discord get at me.

I think my RSD is too bad to rp on tumblr right now, plus I'm recovering from a serious injury. Discord is about what I can handle.

[novaless]

ALWAYS down to rp on discord tbh, I think that'll be my permanent home.

As for my injury it's much better, just had to replace a couple teeth, yes really.

“That’s why I want her to reach her full potential, no matter what she decides to do.”

Although Lena would hope it didn’t fall into the realm of villainy, things were starting to look that way regardless. To be fair, she’d hate for the girl to fall in with heroes equally. Two sides of the same coin. The only way to win the game was not to play.

To hide and hope the world could one day either forget or forgive her.

“Sometimes the people we love need boundaries. Even if it’s painful to set them.” she offered, it never once being lost on her that she wasn’t exactly good at following her own advice,

“You’re an attentive, capable mother. You won’t lose her.”

Boundaries. This is like talking to her therapist, and this is all for her kid! Sheila's spent so long juggling these roles-- the council woman who can do anything, the number 2, the wife-- and now a mom. She wants nothing more than to be capable, and to raise her the best way she can. But to be fair, too.

Finally, a tiny smile curls across her face, she smoothes her palm over her hair.

"Never thought I'd get a pep talk about my kid from you of all people."

[novaless]

Lena managed a ghost of a smile as Sheila seemed to understand where she was coming from. Villain parents or not, every student was Lena's priority. She nodded along, prepared to guide her back into the main area to meet Hal before something Sheila said sent shivers up her spine.

'You of all people.'

Did she know? If anyone did, it would certainly be her. Even during her time fighting villains she'd wished there was someone like Sheila in the Divine Guard. As if. The guild had problems, but seemed to lack even half the amount of despicable people she knew within it.

"I'm not sure what you mean."

[novaless]

So what's the deal with Erika????

She's a PR agent for superheroes

Most of the time they're all a pain in her ass, she's good at her job at the cost of her sanity most of the time

BACKSTABBER. This girl is underhanded and doesn't play by the rules if it means getting her heroes good press.

Heroes are hard to work for. They're all divas. Erika's become the master of a little bit of manipulation going a long way.

If you're doing your job, not getting into trouble, and not questioning anything, Erika is your best friend. Anything outside of that and she's your goddamn nightmare.

One of the many factors that caused Lena's mental health to take a nosedive was, in fact, Erika.

Girl really is just trying to make a living. She's not in a great spot either, but it's eat or be eaten.

“Hal’s on her last strike. And trust me, if it were up to me she would be in school at all times.” Lena pointed out, at least then she was accounted for, not spreading chaos around town and putting herself in harm’s way. If only administration saw it that way. Hal was less dangerous in school than out of it.

“Arching is for outside of school hours. Her teachers and I are trying to make that clear to her.” she pushed up the glasses threatening to fall off her face entirely, “I think school should be her top priority. Villain-allegiance aside. She should at least be one of the educated ones.”

Otherwise Hal might end up henching somewhere. Although Lena doubted it.

"Of course she should be educated-- she's smart as hell, as a whip-- obviously you people know that!"

Sheila's trying not to get angry, or defensive at best, but keeping to the fine line of not going OVER that line is hard. They're her parents, but not really, and they've given her that freedom not to listen to that authority sometimes.

"I want her here in school, all the time! I want her to play violin or do DnD or whatever the shit it is-- I want her to have normal."

She sighs, shoulders drooping.

"But I'm not sure how to...broach that with her without losing her."

one of these days I’ll do metas on some of the other members of the Divine Guard but please know I plan on bringing back Erika

only OGs remember Erika

Natasha Trethewey, from Thrall: Poems; "Mythology"

[novaless]

I was gonna write this in a drabble, and still might, but this goes with the disappearance metas I made earlier.

Two weeks after she went missing, her father received a call from an unknown number. It was just a long pause, the sound of scattered breathing, like someone who'd been crying, and the words "I'm okay." before hanging up.

It was traced to an old phone booth they found completely destroyed.

A lot of people, to this day, don't believe him when he says this really happened, as there's no proof or recording. Most sleuths are on the fence about his account, or think it could have been a prank.

"venture broke both his legs trying to catch dog. arching him while he's this vulnerable just doesn't feel right...."

[novaless]

"I see." there was honor to the arch, she'd been around long enough to know that at the very least, "Did you... want to come in? I have tea or coffee." she paused for a beat, "Coffee's probably old though... we'll just say tea."

[unfortunatedarling]

‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒ Name-Taker knew it wasn't going to be this easy, it hardly ever was. Following her, they looked at the fallen hitman, then at Lena, shoving their hands in the front of their hoodie pockets.

"Alright, you got me," they spoke, seeing that trying to play the starry-eyed fanboy looking for an apprentiseship wasn't working.

"Moon Halo knows that you're living in this town and is on a manhunt for you. He doesn't know who you are, yet, but considering how easy it was for me to find you, you and the people you hang around don't have a lot of time. I was hired to follow you around in order to find Moon Halo."

They wouldn't elaborate on *why* they were trying to find Moon Halo, nor *who* hired them, but sources pointed towards the Guild wanted to extend an invitation to the guy, or kill him for arching without a lisense.

[novaless]

She frowned as this information was relayed to her, trying not to show on her face what even hearing his name did to her. How long had he been without sleep, at this point? Was there even any of him left anymore? Or was the person she'd loved all those years ago a fabrication to begin with? The latter was probably the case, although she didn't like to think about it.

"So I'm bait." she stated, "Fucking fantastic."

Still, fear was gripping at her. If he found her, there really was no telling what he would do. She'd be monitored closely, life reverting back to a prison. If Lena didn't comply however, it could mean everyone she knew was in danger.

"Tell me who hired you, what do they want with him? If any of you are smart you'll back off. It's not safe to-" she could spill everything, all it was she knew, everything she was running from if they had the time, instead she thought better of it,

"I'm telling you right now, push any harder and you'll end up dead."

[novaless]

idk why but Beautiful from the Heathers Musical is kinda a Lena back when she was Nova mood

[novaless]

"so, what makes you think i'm lonely?"

"You did come all the way out here... alone." Lena pointed out, leaning against the entrance to her apartment building with her arms crossed as she observed Monarch, "Let me guess, nobody on the schedule to arch today?"
