Imagine if Daxter was actually Mar the entire time, and everyone just thought it was Jak, Daxter included

no this is actually so funny to me because Daxter is already a precursor

& yet everyone spends the whole series calling him a muskrat or mistaking him for a 'horribly sick little bird' or just straight-up being like 'this is a rat'

meanwhile Daxter is walking around having been reincarnated as a god, riding on the shoulder of Frankenstein's monster whose veins are full of battery acid and radioactive isotopes & Daxter is just totally unaffected by it all. literally just vibing while the guy whose shoulder he rides on periodically explodes into a lightning storm of dark matter

daxter has never heard of a toxic substance he couldn't go swimming in 😌

& YET, everyone is still like '... that's a rat'

so the thought of Daxter being the long-lost heir to the throne & Jak being Just Some Guy is literally comedy gold

it makes this moment even funnier

#jak and daxter #i ADORE these games #you don't learn fine motor skills from a game without it becoming part of your personality #and don't get me started about a warrior nun au for this #like !!!! ava in the KG fortress being experimented on with light eco. lilith being experimented on with dark eco #beatrice as an Underground fighter who busts into the fortress & accidentally sets Lilith off like a bomb #dragging ava out through the chaos and being hunted by the KG #AVA on a zoomer like no this girl should not be allowed in an antigrav vehicle #anon #jak and daxter spoilers

Oh no, he's me when I was seventeen

For all the things I, shall we say, don't prefer about TLF/The One We Don't Talk About, I actually do really like the ways you get to use raw eco in that game. Feels like a more refined version of what Jak used to do as a kid in Sandover, which I suppose makes sense considering he's already learned to harness dark and light eco as "all the eco at once (negative)" and "all the eco at once (positive)" respectively. And as much as the script felt meh, Jak and Dax had some very fun interactions (starting a bar fight for instance)

Also using yellow eco as Jetpack Hands is just really fun to look at.

#jak and daxter #we dont talk about tlf no no no #jak's sense of humor is not that far removed from daxter's apparently #he's gonna get home with three fighter planes pirate clothes and six new ways to use eco and Sig is going to have a heart attack

HM How do i put this.So people often think 'punk' and 'asshole' are synomyous and this causes problems when it comes to character interpretations(and irl too ofc but that's for a future post).Now i'm not saying you can't be punk and an asshole because that would be absolutely stupid and just incorrect but the latter does not make the former and you shouldn't force anyone to when they're not even if they're fictional since how you treat characters who're part of a group reflects how you think of the irl one

I'm gonna use the example that prompted this post:Spiderpunk aka Hobie Brown.Hobie is often characterized as mean-spirited and perverted because he's explicitly meant as the embodiment of black punks but the thing is,in the actual movie and og comics,Hobs is an incredibly sweet and gentle person and if you think i'm being ridicilous for saying that about the dude who kills fascists and runs his mouth all the time,consider that direct action is not an act of cruelty but kindness towards oppressed people by helping them have a safer world and that Hobie's only actually rude to authority figures and with everyone else he's just goofy.He's also pretty open with how much he loves his friends and always has their backs and i find it very odd how often he gets assumed to be an extremely sexual person when there were never even any under the radar adult jokes about or by him and the smoker headcanon for him is baseless too and pretty obviously only happens for sex appeal

And that's a general problem with both canonical and popularly headcanon punk characters-Most fandom members think punk is 1.Exclusively male and 2.Inherently made to make yourself attractive.There's nothing wrong with finding punk men super hot but there IS a lot wrong is assigning punkhood to them with that intention alone,especially often the characters are not only just EdgyTM but also straight up fascists(Hp and Marauders Flop Era 'kinnies',please touch grass)

This leads to defanging of punk female characters.Katara is a classic example and Zuko is a rich boy with weird biases he's very open about that didn't fade until adulthood while Katara is an eco-terrorist who reclaims girlhood for herself by being anti-traditionalist and feminine in her own way yet Zuko is always the punk of the Gaang in aus.Stephanie Brown and not a girl but Duke Thomas are a poor woman who grew up friendless and abused by her dad and had a drug addict mom so she became a vigilante at 14 to help people like her and is implied to be a metalhead and a black boy who grew up getting kicked out schools and in and out of foster homes and joined a gang of crime fighters respectively but Stephanie is called scene instead(cause pastel punks don't exist right /s)and Duke is turned a meek black boyloser stereotype so that Jason Todd can be the punk Batkid instead,which is certainly......a choice seeing as Under The Red Hood is basically about him doing freestyle death penalty and is not actively an activist even if he does enjoy helping people and does whenever he has the opportunity to by narrative.Very important sidenote is that Stephanie and Duke are often entierly erased from Batman fan content despite being Jason's Batgirl and Robin and i think you can guess why(that obviously the coolest Batkid has to be the fan favorite white boy /s x2)

And i feel the need to include this one due to my url and that is Percy Jackson.Percy is representation for audhd and dyslexic people who can never mask and got bullied and abused for it but remained kind against all world's cruelty and choose to help others since they wanted the world to be like that to them as a kid instead but they ALSO aren't a pussy about it so they openly stand up to corrupted people and refuse to be like them no matter how hard they try to get them to and they openly hate them for what they're like and they act like a parental figure to younger minorities.Their creator stated he never inteded Percy as being bisexual and has no interest in it but he also said he'd be happy and supportive of Percy being played by a poc one day and within the books Percy is extremely transfem-coded so obviously the fandom pops several blood vessels when literally any of this is aknowledged because they read the wrong books and wanted a white male power fantasy in ancient greek gays flavor

You can be super nice and punk because punk is a subculture,not an entire personality type.And i hate to break it to edgecases on here but being super mean to people without a justified reason because you think it's cool or finding irresistibly hot on others is one of the most normal things you can do

Blake's costumes, rated

Every time I do one of these, someone asks me for another one. So... I guess I'm doing the set?

Here are my thoughts on Blake's costumes in Blake's 7. Get ready for a whole lot of brown. Screengrabs from here (they prefer their images copied, not linked) and record of what Blake wears when from here. Here's the same for Avon, Servalan and Jenna.

As seen in The Way Back, Space Fall, Cygnus Alpha, and Time Squad.

This is Blake in his normal, pre-Liberator clothes, and wow are they boring. This is clearly a man who was waiting for any opportunity to cut loose. Look how small his sleeves are! This isn't the clothing of a freedom fighter; it looks like the uniform of a handyman at an eco-friendly adventure park. It's not really Blake at all. 3/10.

As seen in The Web, Seek-Locate-Destroy, Mission to Destiny, Duel, Project Avalon, Breakdown, Deliverance, and Orac.

I was going to say that this is a long time to be wearing the same outfit, but at a closer look, Blake does change his shirt. Thank goodness, because the question of who does the laundry on the Liberator has bothered me before, and I didn't like to think of Blake being stinky for most of series A.

Also, this is a great outfit. I feel like the way it has four different elements and textures should be too much, but it's working for me, particularly the chainmail-esque sleeve detail. 8/10.

As seen in The Web, Seek-Locate-Destroy, Duel, Project Avalon, Bounty, and Orac.

Jenna made the pink version of this look cool; Blake looks like a dad in a National Trust car park. There might be poo bags for the family Labrador in one of his many pockets. Honestly, kudos to the Blake's 7 costume designers for this one: obviously functional and yet perfectly of a piece with the more ridiculous outfits in the series. I don't love to look at it but I have to admire it. 6/10.

As seen in Redemption, Shadow, Horizon, and Killer.

In which Blake appears to be wearing an entire cow. Honestly, I love this outfit, from the sleeves to the boots. It's Romantic hero meets Robin Hood, it's ridiculous, it's wonderful. Gareth Thomas must have been so warm. 15/10.

As seen in Shadow, and Voice From the Past.

I got a telling-off in the notes on my Jenna post for not including her in the karate ghi. So let the record stand that I approve of the karate ghi universally for Blake's 7 characters. I particularly appreciate that Avon and Jenna have theirs fastened up, while Blake's is open halfway to his midriff. Quarry chic, you can't beat it. 8/10.

As seen in Weapon, Pressure Point, Trial, Countdown, and Voice From the Past.

This feels to me like the classic Blake outfit. It's like Avon's bajillion studded black leather jackets: green leather and bishop's sleeves are simply what Blakes in their natural environment should wear. But it's not quite as batshit as some of his other outfits and so I can't love it quite as much. 7/10.

As seen in Horizon.

I accept that I'm straining the definition of "outfit" here but come on, I couldn't not include this moment. I love the artfully placed grime; I love the way, it being the 70s, that Blake's trousers come up to his navel; I love the fact that this is, to the best of my recollection, the one and only scene of someone taking their top off in the whole of Blake's 7. 10/10.

As seen in Horizon.

The Romantic hero look is BACK. Here Blake is starring as a rebel version of Colin Firth's Mr Darcy. Get this man a lake to jump in. It is my firm belief that no man has yet existed who doesn't look good in this kind of shirt, and Gareth Thomas is no exception. 9/10.

As seen in Hostage.

This is one of those "who wore it best?" moments and I have to be honest and say: Avon did. The rule that Avon should wear tight things, preferably leather, and Blake should wear loose things, preferably with massive sleeves, is not being disproven here. 4/10.

As seen in Hostage, Gambit, The Keeper, and Star One.

There's just too much stuff going on here. The chainmail effect outfit was also quite busy but in a way that made Blake look bigger and bolder. This is the opposite; he looks almost smothered by it. There's a lot of fabric around his neck. It's brown and there's leather, but Blake doesn't look at home. 4/10.

As seen in Blake.

Normally I rate these costumes based partly on how good they look, and partly on how well I feel they suit the character, and normally those two things are in alignment and it's all good. But here, I'm so torn.

Blake looks like shit. He's wearing some kind of horrific quilted knee-length gilet like a cross between a knight and someone who spends too much money in Jack Wills. It's too big for him and the little grab-handles on the front are... well, they're not very functional without Avon around to be grabbing him, are they? But on the other hand, it would be really weird if he looked good at this point in his story. The costume designers have judged this perfectly, and I hate it. 5/10.

#blake's 7 #roj blake #gareth thomas #costuming #for the record this one was a lot more fun than i was expecting

The lineup 💪 (about half my Ninjago ocs, as of dragons rising) from left to right, Two-Worlds (she/her), Chloe (she/her), Alcyo (he/him), and Elapis (he/they).

a lil more abt them vv

Two-Worlds is a hent (speculative etymological ninjagan term for amphicyonids, aka bear-dogs… google em, they’re pretty cool and not extinct in the Ninjago universe in my mind palace/hc zone) hailing from my friend’s fan-realm called Creatura. She’s not actually supposed to be in a humanoid form, it was artificially induced via magic. Her true form is much larger and much more quadrupedal like other creaturans (who just look like oversized, strangely colored but otherwise normal animals). She prefers this form though because she was raised in Ninjago around exclusively humans and got some body dysmorphia out of it… and as for why she’s a cowboy, it’s because she felt like it. She’s been wandering the merged lands searching for her scattered friends and family.

—

Chloe is a Fangpyre serpentine, and she looks pretty lizard-y because for some reason Fangpyre are more monitor lizard-ish than snake-ish in my head. She’s got special interests in pop culture and history, particularly human pop culture and ways in which human and serpentine history interact. Girlie is like a walking archive. Since the merge she’s been wanting to digitize and transcribe what remains of non-digitized archives and libraries, as the merge has made her all the more aware of how often natural disasters can destroy physical/recorded history. She’s pretty thrilled that Lloyd’s letting her digitize/transcribe scrolls in the monastery.

—

Alcyo is a master of an element i Made The Fuck Up for fun: mist. It’s a running gag that ppl (including him way back when) hear there’s elements of smoke and mist and go “…what’s the difference?” lmao. He’s no fighter, but still wanted help/training to use his element, and that’s how he knew Ash. He’s a geosciences guy like me and has been freaking out over . Well. Everything (lol he inspired that post) since the merge. He’s been getting together with ppl like him from across the merged realms (that is, geosci, eco, etc ppl who are as alarmed as he is) in order to document all the shit going on with the planet now as well as try to plan remediation efforts. I imagine governments have been a bit hesitant to work with a rogue group of jittery sleep deprived scientists but they (Alcyo’s ppl) try. I imagine they are the ones making the new maps and shit like that as well. He just wants to go back to his old day jobs and see Ash again. Sorry buddy, you can only have one of those back lmao

—

Elapis is a hypnobrai who’s been friends with Chloe since childhood. They’re significantly more jaded and pessimistic than she is but they’ve always appreciated her encouragement to pursue music. He probably knows how to play quite a few instruments but he’s usually That Asshole With A Guitar in my brain lmao. He likes learning about other peoples as much as Chloe does though (albeit through music scenes rather than reading) which is why the two became friends. He doesn’t know where she’s gone since the merge and hopes he can see her again one day. He’s found her siblings but not her, and it’s been pretty frustrating. Other than that, they’ve passed the time by jamming with all sorts of people at the Crossroads. Arin and Sora might have seen them around, performing.

#Halcyonia #Ninjago #if anyone has Qs or wants to chat abt them my inbox n DMs are open (I would love to hear about y’all’s guys too pleeeease)#I have way more art of chloe than anyone else here should I post more of her…#my art #Ninjago ocs #oc: Two-Worlds #oc: Chloe #oc: Alcyo #oc: Elapis

Get To Know Me Tag Game!

Thanks to @mythical-bookworm and @alex-a-fans for tagging me.

tbh this is just a song rec list LMAO [easier to open in a browser fyi]

1) Spell your name in songs

Y'all get two for the price of one cuz I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with all non-English songs or not.

The non-English songs are labeled with 🧋 in case you wanna avoid 🤪

Warning: Most of the songs in english have swear words so... just in case u got kids or ur strict parents around LMAO.

⚡️ F: Fighter Not a Lover

aro/ace people gonna love that shit ^ + no swear words

alt: fml u fucked me up

⚡️ U: URARA🧋

It translates to 'Oo-la-la', which I now realize is the magazine Biff was carrying around in the second movie... this was unintentional and the meaning of the song is very wholesome, trust me

alt: Upside Down

⚡️ T: this was a demo for this one song...

That one's like 50% f-bombs ^ i love it

alt: Toxic but its NOT Brittany, B*tch 💅

The most aggressive entry on this list

⚡️ U: Up Up and Away

The only f-bomb is in the second verse

alt: Unmei no Roulette Mawashite 🧋

'unmei' means 'destiny' so you know I had to include it

⚡️ R: Raining in Manila (half 🧋)

Couple of dudes just vibin' out in the studio, what's not to love?

alt: RAHHHH

^im convinced this is what suburbanites see in their nightmares

⚡️ E: Electricity (half 🧋)

alt: Extensyon

Both make up the most WHOLESOME entry in this

⚡️ -(hyphen): Hatid Sundo 🧋

Baby. Baby boi. Baby. vibes ^

alt: Hell to Sell

EVIL. vibes ^

🚫🧢 I have a problem with tonal whiplash. Did I cheat and use the hyphen to include the most wholesome and cute song right before pulling out the lowkey most scandalous song in the list? YES.

Just realized it doesn't work as well if you can't understand it, but trust me. I mean just listening to its vibes is enough 😩

⚡️ B: Balik Sa Umpisa 🧋

Any song that samples/remixes 'Stand By Me' is a W in my book.

alt: Bodybag

I'm just self-reporting at this point.

Ok the rest are very wholesome songs I swear

⚡️ O: Oretachi Rookies 🧋

alt: Oh, Imagine That

ok this one's tied for most wholesome in the list

⚡️ I: I/Me/Myself

gnc/nb people gonna love this shit ^

alt: I Really Like You

that was a struggle, R is the top pick to check out imo. E, O and I are the wholesome ones with no swear words if u care.

2) Why did you choose your URL?

Its based. ..off the song in the musical. I got back into the fandom because of the musical so I owe it that much. 'boi' sounds more gender-neutral than 'boy'

3) What is your middle name?

That's a secret!

4) If you could be any mythical creature, what would you be?

Shapeshifter.

5) Favorite color?

Purple. Lavender/Periwinkle specifically.

6) Song you love right now?

What? 🧋 The amount of crackhead energy, but genuine emotion... AND AESTHETIC. it was literally made for me LMAO Ken is so aggro but hes singing about not littering. like why is he so intimidating-- but i support the eco-friendly king. but fr the song is about waving ur flag with pride??? PRIDE???? and they look androgynous asf??? whats not to love

7) Top four fandoms? (Current Fandoms?)

Back to the Future

Our friends at Solidarity Collectives have put out this video, looking back at their activities providing direct support to anti-authoritarians on the frontlines in Ukraine during the first year of the war. We're proud to have been able to assist them with fundraising to back their efforts, which have so far included:

purchasing and equipping eleven vehicles for the frontlines

providing reconnaissance equipment, including night-vision optics and twenty drones for recon units in Bakhmut, Zaporizhia, and Kharkiv

equipping our troops with first-aid kits, helmets, and bulletproof vests

organizing a dozen humanitarian trips to aid civilians trapped in combat zones

logistical support to volunteer medics involved in the evacuation of wounded civilians and troops in Bakhmut

supporting an anarchist-run mortar team; the paratroopers currently helping to repel the Russian's attempt to occupy Bakhmut; a group of volunteer fighters from Belarus; Russian volunteers who've joined the armed forces of Ukraine; feminist women serving on the frontlines, on equal terms with their brothers-in-arms; environmental anarchists like Eco Platform, who continue to live eco-consciously even in the middle of fighting a war. All of this costs money and 2023 must be the year we help to end this war by helping our friends in Ukraine secure a complete victory! We are counting on you to stand with our friends by making a contribution now to directly support anti-authoritarian fighters on the front lines, resisting the Russian invasion. Please also share the short line to our crowdfunder with everyone you know: fnd.us/blueskies

Titan History: Rodan

Welcome once again to Monarch: After Dark, the digital gateway between you and the organisation dedicated to navigating and understanding this troubled new world we live in.

Before we begin, we would like to take a moment to thank you all once again for your engagement with this platform. Just today, Monarch: After Dark has surpassed 50 followers, a great feat in our goal to help the public learn more about and understand the world of the Titans and beyond. We here on the After Dark team appreciate each and every person who interacts with the blog, and hope to see more of you join as we continue this journey together.

To mark the occasion, we will be making an earlier-than-scheduled return to our "Titan History" series with a Titan who has become something of a popular tourist attraction in recent years; the winged demon born of fire, Rodan.

(Pictured above: The USS Argo approaching Rodan as he rises from the Isla de Mara volcano, circa. 2019)

Monarch Database File: Rodan

Monarch Designation: Titanus Rodan

Height: 154 feet

Weight: 39,043 tons

Wingspan: 871 feet

Nature: Bio-Volcanic

Behavioural Classification: Destroyer

-----

The largest currently known case of "magmafauna" (a term coined by Monarch for superspecies biologically adapted to volcanic environments), Rodan is an impressively intimidating pterosaur-like Titan perfectly adapted to his resting place within the volcano of Isla de Mara. It is speculated by some within Monarch that Rodan's parents had nested within the volcano long ago, Rodan himself seems biologically molded for his home.

Rodan appears to almost be made of volcanic rock, cooled magma coating his wings. Red cracks glow through his wings during flight, giving the impression that the Titan oozes lava as he soars through the air. Due to his volcanic nature, Rodan does not "bleed" as organisms traditionally, as an injury sustained from Mothra's stinger in 2019 only resulted in magma coming out. Truly, Rodan seems to be a living volcano.

His range of abilities similarly match the destructive potential of volcanoes. Capable of flying at supersonic speeds, Rodan need only fly over a city to destroy it, or he can create a powerful sonic thunderclap capable of dispatching several fighter jets with a single strike. His razor-sharp talons and beak aid in dealing with other Titans up-close, and his internal tempearatures can reach such heights that they can burn his opponents if he gets close enough. According to one account, Rodan can cause volcanoes to erupt simply by flying past them.

(Pictured above: Rodan battling Monster Zero within the latter's storm beyond Isla de Mara, circa. 2019)

While Rodan's existence was known to Monarch as early as 1973, the Titan itself would not be discovered by the organisation until 1991. Under the guise of "environmental research" (a tried-and-tested excuse), Monarch quarantined the volcano of Isla de Mara. As the years went on, the quarantine zone became a fully-fledged Monarch facility, forced to operate with aerial satellites as the volcano's temperatures rendered standard Monarch equipment impossible to use.

In 2019, following the awakening of Monster Zero in Antarctica, former Monarch member-turned eco-terrorist Emma Russell used the ORCA sonar device to awaken Rodan, despite Monarch forces still attempting to evacuate the population of Isla de Mara below. The civilians watched with silent horror as Rodan rose from the volcano, before running screaming as the Titan took notice.

In an effort to divert Rodan's attention, Monarch's command ship USS Argo and its fighter escort Gold Squadron fired on Rodan to draw his ire and lead him to a massive storm generated by Monster Zero, who was headed to the volcano itself in response to Rodan's calls. Rodan took flight, still causing massive damage to the city, before engaging Gold Squadron in a dogfight as the Argo led him toward the larger Titan.

(Pictured above: Rodan emerging from the clouds to engage Monarch forces in the sky, circa. 2019)

As Rodan made short work of the Gold Squadron, including one documented instance of the Titan "smirking" before using a barrel roll to finish off the remaining jets, both he and the Argo arrived within Monster Zero's storm. The two Titans clashed almost immediately, Rodan holding his own for a while until Monster Zero shot him out of the sky.

Rodan recovered from the attack quickly enough to evade the Oxygen Destroyer's deployment on Godzilla and Monster Zero, and quickly returned to his volcanic home in order to bow before Monster Zero, which recently staked its claim as the Alpha Titan following Godzilla's supposed demise. During the multiple Titan attacks provoked by Monster Zero, Rodan was reportedly responsible for setting off the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean.

Working directly alongside Monster Zero, almost like its personal guard, Rodan fought off military and Monarch forces in Washington, DC. He later turned toward Boston when the ORCA was activated, arriving just in time to intercept Mothra when both she and Godzilla were gaining an advantage over Monster Zero.

Rodan kept Mothra oocupied, ramming her into buildings and using his lethal temperatures to burn her wings to weaken her. Going in for a final attack, Rodan was met by Mothra's stinger, impaling him through his shoulder and incapacitating him for the remainder of the battle.

Due to his volcanic nature, Rodan was able to survive through the thermonuclear pulses given off by Godzilla when he entered a superheated state, and managed to recover to fly off presumably before a thermonuclear explosion consumed Boston and destroyed Monster Zero's body.

(Pictured above: Rodan roaring at Godzilla, moments before accepting him as the new Alpha, circa. 2019)

Rodan was the final Titan to surround Godzilla in Boston following Monster Zero's demise, still bearing the injury sustained from Mothra. He roared up at Godzilla but was met with a glare, moments after which he bowed down before Godzilla, the first Titan to do so, accepting Godzilla as the true king of the Titans.

Following the Monster Zero crisis, Rodan took refuge in Fiji, where he established a new nest for himself. His presence led to a spike in tourism from people wanting to glimpse the Titan.

To date, Rodan remains dormant in Fiji, and has had no involvement in any of the Titan crises since the Monster Zero crisis.

-----

And that's all she wrote for Rodan! The Titan's re-emergence has been both hotly anticipated and dreaded by the public since his return to dormancy, with many wanting to see the Titan in action once more...presumably because they are far away from wherever he is and thus unlikely to be blown into another country by his supersonic winds. We here on the After Dark team, would indeed want to gleam more data from Rodan, though preferrably from a safe and comfortable distance.

Until next time,

Monarch: After Dark

Fic Prompts: Free Day Friday

Based on the concepts of both "Rift Apart set a precedent for alternate gender dimensional counterparts" and "what if in Meddling Mar Damas had recognized Mar immediately" we have today's prompt: Mirror Mar.

The little girl sat propped up on a reed mat beside the water, still flushed. Her brother still lay motionless on the mat beside her, nowhere near waking. As Damas watched from the dais, the girl traced her fingers over the boy's scarred arms, and an alarmed look crossed her face. Poor sprout. The brother had doubtless been hiding his injuries from her.

"Do not wake him," Seem cautioned gently, removing the child’s hand. "The eco must repair his organs or he will die."

It was the plain and unvarnished truth, but the girl burst into tears. Seem cringed, seeming unusually uncertain. They were knowledgeable about many things, but children were not among those topics. With a slightly exasperated huff, Damas left his throne and stepped across the stones. He knelt beside the pallets and forced himself to take the girl -- not Mar, it was just a freak coincidence -- by the hand.

"Come. Let him sleep. He will recover, child." He nodded to the scars. "Look: he is a fighter."

"But they're on the wrong side!" The girl burst into emphatic signs. "Wrong arm! Everything is backwards on this side of the Rift Gate!"

"Rift Gate?" Seem asked, their ruby eyes alight with interest, "You found a working Rift Gate, little one?"

"The last one!" The girl wiped her eyes, but her hiccups persisted. "Uncle Sig’s eye is on the wrong side, Jakky's scars are on the wrong side- and Jakky is a boy! Am I gonna be a boy when I grow up?!"

The adults exchanged bewildered glances. Tentatively, Damas extended a finger to brush away tears from round cheeks. Gods, she even had freckles like Mar, just on the opposite side of her-

"Little one," Seem said with stifled amusement, "Why would your brother’s gender have anything to do with yours? That's...really not how that works. You'll grow up to be you, not him."

"But except he's not my brother, he's me!" The child protested, "The sage said so! Except Jakky wasn't a boy when I went in the Rift and now all the scars are on the wrong side!" The girl twisted her green curls in her hands repeatedly, breathing quickening. "When did that happen? Are all my freckles gonna change places? I don't want my freckles to move! Why is everything the other way around?!"

Damas felt bile creep up his throat.

The backwards amulet around the girl's neck.

The shared features.

Gods, no.

He looked to the boy, eyes falling as if by instinct on a trio of freckles against the left side of his jaw.

The bile climbed higher.

It wasn't possible. It wasn't possible.

He'd heard legends of Rift Gates, but there was never anything in the old texts about this.

"What-"

His voice failed him. His hands shook.

"What is your name?"

The child looked stricken, and her tears began anew.

"You don't remember me? Are you all out of place now too, Daddy?"

Seem recoiled in shock, and Damas collapsed from his crouch to his knees.

No, no that would mean they were both- Please, no-!

What had the Precursors done? Who was the boy, then, if the girl swore they'd once been the same person? What had these children suffered?

"Mar?" he whispered in a shaking voice, "In your world, on your side of the Rift Gate, were you Mar?"

"Uh-sniff!-huh."

"Then...my Mar is...with your elder self?"

"Oh...I guess so." This Other Mar, a bit too old -- but not near as old as the boy on the other pallet -- looked pleadingly at him. "My Jakky is still in the Gate? I don't have to be a he and move all my freckles if I don't wanna?"

"I...would assume that is what happened, given...given your amulet," Damas faintly heard himself choke out, as if at a great distance.

The child, this Mar from another world, somehow managed to look even more crestfallen. "Then...that's your Jakky, right? You're...not my daddy...are you?"

Instinct took over. Damas swept little Mar into his arms, and tucked her head into the crook of his neck.

"No, little viper," he croaked, "I am sorry, I do not know if I had a daughter before today. I do not know if you differ from the child I remember. My Mar was...was two when last I saw him, much would have changed regardless."

"I'm six now." Mar hiccuped and held up the number on her fingers. "I'm not a baby anymore."

"I...see that."

"And I like slingshots and bugs and baby animals and coloring. But I don't like dark eco, only Jakky has to use it because all- all his eco got all jumbled up." Mar squeezed closer to Damas. "Jak said he wouldn't let me get dark eco. I don't wanna get dark eco."

Seem looked from this older Mar to the teenaged boy fighting for his life on the mat. A future version of Mar? It couldn't be true, they didn't want to believe it! This boy reeked of dark eco, while the child practically dazzled with unshaped prism potential. Surely no child of the House of Mar would stoop low enough to partake of dark eco!

Unless...

Seem eyed the scars again, and in spite of themself their hand rose to cover their throat almost protectively.

Unless Mar had not been a willing participant.

Damas followed Seem's gaze, and his stomach turned. Two Mars, both years older than they should have been. Alone, battered, collapsed in the desert- Had they been trying to get home? Had Mar been fighting to come back to him all this time?

Two Mars. A son and a daughter. A blessing, a miracle and yet- what had the Precursors put his child through? What were these scars, even on the little one?

Damas looked to the boy, motionless beside the orange...thing...he'd been found with, and he swallowed hard.

"Mar," he whispered, "Tell me everything."

___________BONUS__________________

When the boy called Jak finally awoke, he didn't remember the room he was in, just as Mar had warned. Nor did he seem to be particularly happy that Mar had given away any information whatsoever.

"Mar!" he rasped, "You can't just tell strangers your name! We've talked about this!"

"You're not the boss of me!" Mar retorted almost gleefully.

The boy pushed himself upright to point at her. "Uh, yes I am? I literally am the boss of you by default, kid."

"That's not what Daddy says!"

Jak lurched forward as Daxter coughed water all over them both.

"Who?!"

Avatar: the Last Airbender - Vigilante AU

Do you ever think about that one time Katara became a vigilante eco-terrorist called the Painted Lady? I feel like that’s not talked about enough.

Here, Katara and Zuko become Best Friends/Vigilante Buddies without knowing each other’s identity

Platonic Identity Porn. If that wasn’t a thing before, it is now.

Sokka & Aang never discovered Katara’s identity as the Painted Lady but Toph knows all.

This could also be a modern AU, in which case all the Gaang are Vigilantes.

- Katara’s the Painted Lady; her mom, dad, and papa (Kya/Hakoda/Bato) were/are part of a secret group investigating and gathering proof of Ozai’s many violations of Native land rights treaties. Kya got badly injured or killed while investigating and Katara isn’t about to let that slide, even if her parents don’t want her involved. She becomes an ecoterrorist targeting Ozai Incorporated.

- Toph’s the Blind Bandit; she ran away from home and is homeless, surviving by being the champion of an illegal fighting ring. She helps out other homeless people whenever she can but doesn’t go out of her way to patrol or anything.

- Zuko’s the Blue Spirit; after being burned, Iroh discovered the abuse and took custody (which wasn’t hard since Ozai didn’t fight for him). Despite this, Zuko feels it’s his responsibility as a son to stop his father’s economic imperialism.

- Sokka’s a Kyoshi Warrior; part of a vigilante team led by Suki. By day, this team is just a Scout Troop that teaches self-defense.

- Jet runs a gang that doubles as anti-hero vigilantes called the Freedom Fighters. He takes in any homeless or abused kid he can and will do anything to keep them fed, happy, and avenged.

- Azula, Mai, & Ty-Lee are a bounty hunter trio hired by Ozai (a corrupt CEO). Azula’s still his daughter, but being in modern times didn’t stop him from molding her into a child soldier to assassinate his enemies.

- Aang’s a new vigilante trying to avenge the monasteries destroyed by Ozai’s corporation. He’s an exchange student living with Katara, Sokka, Hakoda, Bato, and/or Kya.

- Teo (the Mechanic’s son from the Northern Air Temple) kits out all the vigilantes’ gear, tech, and outfits with help from Sokka.

I also got a lot of inspiration from searching “the blue spirit avatar” on pinterest if you want concept art.
