Welcome!
Art Tag: #solarcat studios
Asks: Art requests closed, but feel free to ask about other stuff. I’m taking a bit of a step back from the ml fandom at the moment, but I’ll be around tumblr still.
I only blog about other things (Percy Jackson, SPoP, Owl House, Big Hero Six, etc.) on here occasionally, but you can block #not ml or the individual tags to avoid that.
I think it's super cool how a cult kidnapped Wally because they thought if they stabbed him then they could access the speedforce inside of him and use it to bring people back to life and then they did stab him and they did access the speedforce inside of him and they did use it to bring people back to life and then it was just never mentioned again.
Like, yeah, cool, okay, Wally holds the secret to eternal life at all times and there's a bunch of ancient cults tryna get ahold of him to access that and he just does nothing with that information.
His reaction was pretty much just "huh that's weird. Anyway-"
tbh I think he and Barry both just. Don’t commit as much thought as they could to the potential of their Speed Force abilities beyond what they can use to hero? Like Eobard dead-ass states that they have (and use, subconsciously or otherwise) the ability to be exactly as old or young as they want to be. Jay does it. Moreover, Jay uses that ability on Joan, too. (I think it’s funny, given this, that Jay chooses to stay at exactly retirement age. Man said ‘I wanna be young enough to enjoy life and old enough that people won’t expect me to hero full time.’)
The Speed Force gives them the ability to affect people’s biological age. They’re not just the key to resurrection, they’re the key to eternal youth and vitality.
I can see why they might not want to exploit that more--I mean, they already have problems with people deciding that a speedster is the best way to power their doomsday devices/time machines/evil mechanical planets. They don’t need one more reason for people to want to come after them. But it’s still something you’d think they’d be more interested in. I kind of chalk it up to Wally and Barry both being EXCESSIVELY busy and having other things on their mind nearly constantly. But still. Sometimes it drives me nuts when these major things that could be really interesting to delve into get dropped and then never spoken about again.
I still think it's funny that Bart went 'wow I hated being 21... I'm going to be 15 again' and then just reverted half a decade and none of them even blinked an eye at that but they still don't seem to understand that they have full control over their ages??? They all just accepted that Bart was a teenager again and didn't question it.
Or the multiple times Wally has straight up just reversed time. And his only reaction is 'i have no fucking clue how I did that' and then he moves on.
They honestly have so much power and that just never really seems to click in their minds. It's never really been outright stated but given everything they've done (sticking people in time loops, general time fuckery, being immune to time changes, freezing people in time, reversing time, jumping through time, effecting aging, ect) they're basically chronokinetics in denial
"Toph did not have a 'life changing field trip with Zuko' episode because, being absent from season 1, she did not have significant Zuko-related trauma to unpack" - reasonable, sensible, passible explanation.
"Toph did not have a 'life changing field trip with Zuko' episode because doing so would have meant sacrificing Ember Island Players, thus denying the Avatar crew the opportunity to have the stupidest pre-series-finale recap episode ever" - stronger, smarter, worthy of throwing hands over
Toph didn’t have a life-changing field trip with Zuko episode because the fallout would’ve taken a fourth season to clean up.
taking off a mask to reveal what lies beneath as a romantic gesture is overdone, and besides i want to see the romantic or even platonic potential of protecting someone's identity beneath the mask, without any expectation of ever being allowed to see what's under it. picking it up and holding it gently to their face when it's knocked off and they're in danger of being exposed, without trying to catch a glimpse of what they "really" look like under there. throwing yourself in front of them to hide them from view while they put themselves back together without taking advantage or looking back to see what you're protecting. learning to read them by body language, tone of voice, and behaviour so well that you never need to see their face to feel like you know and understand them.
and needless to say. the mask stays on during sex.
i think the marvel vs dc conversation is bad because they're very different animals and i think its very obvious in how they approach the avengers and the justice league, even if you compare it between dceu and mcu, because at the end of the day superheroes in marvel seem to be allied with the governemtn regardless of their cause, like shield and avengers seem to be deeply connected in both fucntion and system because they're lead by a military guy and then the league in itself is funny because literally no one gets paid, they consider it volunteer work, that they operate outside of the planet so they would not be beholden to one state
the Avengers: you don't understand, we HAVE to work with the government. to protect people.
the JL, in their satellite floating just outside of Earth's jurisdiction: lmao ok
I love how a large part of the PHM fandom looked at Grace in Erid and said almost unanimously "PUT THAT BOY IN MOBILITY AIDS! THE GRAVITY IS SHIT! ITS SHIT!!"
I keep thinking of Bruce being a panicked parent at first, like yes, he gets that Dick is not a baby and doesn't need coddling but Bruce has taken responsibility for him and he wants him to feel as if somebody is caring for him like a parent. So Bruce starts thinking of ways to do so, because he doesn't want him feeling as though he's missing out. So Bruce starts doing stuff that he associates with parents. He reads bedtime stories if Dick wants. He cuts the crusts of his sandwiches. He lets Dick hold his hand when crossing the street. He teaches him how to tie his shoelaces. And Bruce thinks he's doing terribly because he can't do 'the voices', he never gets the crusts off perfectly and Alfred apparently does it better and Dick has a habit of dashing across streets while Bruce tries to hurry after him, and everybody is judging him. He admits to Alfred that he doesn't think he can parent Dick, that he isn't being a good enough parent and Alfred has to sit him down and explain that he was in the same situation over twenty years ago when Bruce was a small boy the same age as Dick is. Bruce suddenly remembers crooked imitations of smiley faces carved by Martha on Bruce's toast, of Alfred taking Bruce on trips to Gotham University to visit the library like Thomas did and Alfred often looking stressed whenever Bruce was hurt or sick and clearly wanting his mom and dad in that moment of pain and illness and Alfred not being enough.
Thank you, Black people in fandom spaces. Thank you, Black creators and Black lurkers. Thank you Black artists, Black writers. Thank you, Black bloggers, Black influencers. Shoutout to those Black characters, both canon and original. Thank you, Black people, both queer and cishet.
Your perspectives matter. Your representation matters. You are not bothersome for demanding equal treatment in fandom. It is not your responsibility to make fandom more welcoming and inclusive to you. It is not your sole responsibility to create all of the Black-centered content. You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.
Black people in fandom, you are wanted. You are needed. You are loved and appreciated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
And since they don't get told it near enough, thank you, Black women especially!!!

man y’all remember when the avengers movie came out and everyone headcanoned that all the avengers would live together in the tower and had all these cute posts about various fun ways they could interact and then the movies literally never had any of them even be friends
I want to state, for the record, that “all the avengers would live together in the tower” wasn’t collective headcanon, it was canon. The very last scene of Avengers (2012), the one they left us on, is Tony redesigning the tower, designing a living area for each Avenger. That was, canonically, what was supposed to happen, in canon, and they just changed their minds and decided to… not. For whatever goldarn reason.
GHHFDGJHFDS THATS EVEN FUNNIER WHY IS MARVEL LIKE THIS
Just a thought, Rocky has excellent hearing and can "see" through walls, so he can almost definitely hear everything going on in Grace's body through his thin human skin. Rocky constantly hears Grace's heart, his lungs, his stomach, all constantly shifting his wretched slime from one part of his body to the next.
From his perspective, Grace must be constantly screaming in some primal, unknowable language.
And then Grace says something like "uh oh spaghetti-os" and Rocky realizes none of those noises have any relationship to what he's actually saying.
ok yknow what im thinkin abt today? rocky sad of his crewmates dying of radiation, and asking grace how humans even discovered it.
and of course hes a middle school science teacher so he has an impromptu history lesson on lock about Marie Skłodowska-Curie and her contributions to science at the cost of her own life. It's a tragedy, but it was important to discover, and at the very least, her name will be remembered forever.
and man, doesnt that sound familiar he thinks as he says it aloud.
AU where eridians actually have lifespans pretty similar to humans (give-or-take a few years), but due to earth years being longer than eridian years + some miscommunication, everybody thinks that grace is gonna die way earlier.
Rocky spends all his time very sad about grace not living as long. He makes sure grace has the best life possible because he thinks grace is gonna die in like 30 years (which is the equivalent to like 10 earth years time-wise). But then, while adrian and grace are talking about something the year difference comes up and rocky realizes
"HOLLLYYY SHITT. EXCLAIMATION"
"Rocky, what is it buddy, you good?"
"How long grace say earth year last???"
"Uhh 365 days?? Why????"
And rocky keeps asking him ok how long is a day, how long is an hour, how long is a minute, etc etc. And then does the math in his head. And is so relived, because grace actually has closer to 90 eridian years left.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Or the one"
Grace's bedroom on Erid – a messy GUI placeholder background for the Gracerocky/Eridian dating sim game we're currently working on (and also to test out my Eridian pattern brushes yayyy)
she's platonic about it but in my opinion, stratt 100% treats grace as her dead wife. she keeps a tacky fox trinket in her coat pocket. there's a framed photo of him in her study . he's grinning goofily in it (bc he's a dork). new guy like: is that her husband? / no, dumbass, it's dr. ryland grace, 1/3 of the hail mary mission. / oh, fuck. were they... ? / yeah, it's unclear. black-and-white montages of grace messing around in high-level meetings play every time stratt contemplates committing more environmental crimes. she looks up at the night sky and vaguely wonders if he's enjoying his space ramen. that's her dead wife. she killed him.
All of Bruce's kids have come out to him as some form of homosexual that when it comes to Duke, Bruce just assumes he's queer and is too scared to tell him for some reason.
Sure, literally everyone in this family, including Bruce, are publically out it's still normal to be afraid to come out and Bruce thinks he just needs an extra push.
He starts asking Duke things about his love life, starts saying shit like "I'm always here for you, you know that right?" and even resorts to dumbass shit like leaving little rainbow flags in places he knows Duke will find them.
Duke is freaking out.
Duke: guys, Bruce is acting really strange.
Jason: he's always acting strange. It's Bruce.
Duke: yeah but like extra strange
Tim: strange how?
Duke: idk man he's like, being strangely supportive. Like in a creepy way. And he keeps asking if I have a "lover" and what my type is. It's really weirdly invasive and I don't know what to do
Everyone:
Jason, starts laughing hysterically:
Dick: Duke-
Tim: oh my god.
Dick: Duke he-
Steph, wheezing: holy shit
Dick: Duke he thinks your gay and he's trying to see if you'll come out to him
Duke: but I'm not gay ????
Jason, still laughing: I think he just assumes any kid around him is some form of gay at this point
Damian: I suppose none of us are heterosexuals
So, Duke has to sit Bruce down and break the news that he is straight and exclusively likes girls. Bruce is surprised, thanks him for telling him and now says shit like "I know it's hard but we can get through this"
The kids love it.
Jason, who is still laughing: you had to come out to Bruce as STRAIGHT. This is the best day ever!
some iterations of fanon!grace are rlly interesting to me bc people occasionally characterize him as meek and shy (which valid, i'm a firm believer in people doing what they want with canon), but I want to present a different take
as someone who's mom is also a middle school teacher, i can't help but draw links between her behavior and grace's. my mom came across as intense and intimidating to a lot of my friends growing up bc she developed a "teacher voice" (loud, project-y, in a way where she could be heard across a room without yelling), and her parenting often sounded like typical teacher lecturing bc of the tone she subconsciously switched to. she could switch between socially awkward around new people to commanding whenever she was presented with an environment that had people look to her for guidance without realizing it. she developed this intense, outgoing persona for teaching bc that's one of the few proven ways to get kids engaged with what she was saying.
idk, i feel like grace carries a lot of this intensity with him. he was literally exiled from academia for insulting the LEAD SCIENTIST IN THE FIELD publicly, and continued to stubbornly defend his thesis despite literally everyone telling him to shut up. like yeah he's a coward, he's socially awkward and self-deprecating, but i wouldn't say he's meek and shy. he speaks his mind no matter what, he pulls out his teacher voice when lecturing rocky the first time the latter came on the hail mary with his ball, and he often plays up the drama in interactions the same way my mom does to keep stuff interesting. in the book, it's also made more clear how much people in stratt's vat literally saw him as second in command due to how much he got shit done, i.e. he's rlly good at naturally assuming command in situations where people look to him for help (even if he doesn't realize it).
like i said, no hate to people who characterize him differently. i just wanted to present my own take on his character, as i find the teacher aspect rlly cool (probably my own bias, love u mom <3) and wanted to expand on how it could affect every other aspect of his character. curious to see what other people think!
