With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

[boo600]

Given that she's a controller, meaning she can multitask at least as well as any 5-10 lanterns, meaning people who can also multitask while thinking partially with tiny supercomputers… yeah, it really looks like she just tried to get him killed. Given the paragon timeline has her reveal that her personality is a matrix for easy communication, because she's effectively a superintelligence…

Well. She may have sent him here to win, but I doubt it. She could have just told him about the pilgrims and the strange visions. And… I thought that she might have figured out the truth about the Renegade. But between Darkseid genuinely having a bunch of Gravyen clones, and Dox noting that New Gods and their connection to the Source tend to skew personality calculations… she may really think he's an Apokalyptian, conquering the universe and waiting to reveal his true colors as Yuga Khan Mk. II. So… let's see how this goes, I suppose.

Edit:

That doesn't go like you hope it would.

…also. Seriously? Is that nonsensical 'Darkseid cannot die' bit canonical to WTR? He was killed in the Justice Lords timeline; are you saying they all just went evil because his spirit possessed them or broke them, à la Batman who Fucking Laughs? That's Nu52 bullshit, Zoat! That's basically Nu52 bullshit!

I originally thought you were just saying the Spectre wouldn't be allowed to kill Darkseid, or he'd take his place. But rereading all this… really? Please tell me you aren't endorsing this link, that WTR does not stan Invincible Darkseid. The renegade already knows the Sword isn't enough, against the tech and the intelligence and the armor and the omega effect and the anti life and the armies and everything else Darkseid has going for him! I could have sworn you didn't put in the Avatars bit from Final Crisis, with Darkseid reeeeally being a Bigger-Than-The-Multiverse super OP kool OC Do-Not-Steal monster beyond Yugu Khan, the true God of All Evil to whom even the Anti-Monitor is but a speck-

Sorry, I just saw the link again, clicked it, and immediately had the metaphorical 'nam flashbacks. I need this answered, in my soul.

"Yeah. You know, trying to make something of myself." Holly takes a pose, and… While she doesn't have Jade's definition, she definitely looks like she's in better shape than he was when I first met her. "Healthy eating and clean living."

Should say "she" @Mr Zoat

 

[Attention Counting]

Thank you for the chapter.

then I can go and give Hinon a piece of my FUCKING mind.

It's quite the oversight, isn't it? I didn't think that was the case but my previous statement

Also, it's not impossible that Hinon managed to not notice an Angel who would presumably been there since the Big Bang (or a similar early time as they would have not known what Demons are in your hypothesis) but I do find it similarly unlikely.

seems to be wrong then. Now to see if this was on accident or purposeful.

Thank you, corrected.

I'm pointing out, specifically, that the Spectre wasn't allowed to kill Darkseid in the comics. That's all.

 

[BartlettMagic]

Right, good impression made with the neighbours, planet made safe. Just have to have a quick chat with Izaya, and then I can go and give Hinon a piece of my FUCKING mind.

i like where this is going, keep up that momentum. both of those encounters have the potential to be personality clashes or insightful banter, but either way, this is the Gravy i was missing when he was dickin' around in pony land.

Grayven does not dick around. His dick only goes in one mare.

OhthanktheSource.

*Whew*

Sorry, I just needed to hear that. I have demonstrated a lack of faith, I know, but in my defense, there's lead in the water and a bunch of morons just attacked Iran and insisted that they didn't realize the Strait would be shut off, cutting off 20% of the world's oil supply, when that has been a talking point for over 50 goddamn years.

Thank you for… well, not reaffirming my faith in humanity, exactly, because there's too fucking many of us, but giving me permission/a sample case so as to assume, in select cases, that the stupidest possible explanation is not the correct one. You are not the only data point supporting this view, but every single one counts, these days.


Also, I don't think anyone was suggesting Grayven has been anything less than faithful. He has his flaws, but reliability has never been one of them.

…I'm still laughing to myself about how badly he flubbed his initial social roll with Diana, honestly. It's glorious. A thing of beauty. "Friendship is mutilation! I shall be friendly, because with niceness I build my world-spanning cult of doom, brick by brick! Mwahahahaha!"

It is the absolute best way to talk about enlightened self interest. With a supervillain. Specifically.

And he picked fucking Wonder Woman. Gorgeous. Perfect. Divine.

Well, that or an idiot sandwich. I'm never sure which…
