guess what it’s Doctor Mid-Nite loving hour again!
‘but wait! Dickie didn’t u make a Mid-Nite appreciation post recently??’
ur goddamn right i did and ur damn skippy im making another bcus Pieter Cross is literally a saint and i LOVE him. yall!! gonna!! see!! him!!!
for real tho, pls at least humor me and take a look at some things he’s done bcus he’s not just a great superhero - he’s a genuinely good man that works so hard to help everyone around him. like highkey id cuff him if i was given even a split second of a chance and i dont even do relationships. he’s just that genuinely kind-hearted. (Dinah u missed out, girl)
here’s some shit he’s done just as regular Pieter Cross:
1. He treats sex-workers with genuine respect 
and goes out of his way to make sure they’re staying healthy and gives them free condoms to make sure they’re protected. he even comments that he wants to help them stay in business by making sure they’re safe bcus he understands that they’re just making a living and there’s nothing wrong with that. he doesn’t grandstand or judge them or try to change what they do. he accepts them for who they are and treats them kindly. like i dare you to list other heroes who go out of their way to do this on the regular. he does this shit daily.
Tumblr media
2. He takes part in a safe needle exchange. 
He understands that not all addicts are going to quit and those that try likely can’t quit cold turkey and that trying to do so can be super dangerous. he doesn’t posture or insist they stop using right then and there or any of that shit. He provides clean, free needles so that those using are using safely bcus above EVERYTHING he genuinely fucking cares for each and every human. he doesn’t judge. he understands. like Mr Terrific said, his greatest attribute is his compassion. he wants to help those addicted to drugs while also making sure they’re being safe in the process. he wants to help them get better and be healthy in whatever way he can.
Tumblr media
(there was another panel where it’s mentioned he provides clean needles but i forgot to save it and idr which issue it was in)
3. He operates a free clinic. 
Mind you: he’s a world-class doctor who graduated from Harvard Med at 19. He chooses to operate a free clinic and even has a website to offer free advice. He never got into the profession for money (it’s actually mentioned he’ll throw his money around willy-nilly to help others). And it’s said time and time again that he’s a bleeding heart who thinks he can change the world himself. He’s called the ‘Midnight Doctor’ bcus he makes nightly rounds through the impoverished neighborhoods offering free care and supplies to those in need. He helps ppl without hesitation or a second-thought. It’s actually garnered him quite a bit of local loyalty bcus he’s just...so fuckin kind. ppl turn around and try to help him when he needs it.
Tumblr media
4. He doesn’t judge. 
As mentioned in early points he legit does not judge anyone. like...ever. Not unless they’re foul, cruel human beings who hurt others. In that case, he’ll prob try to fight them for being terrible. other than that? he never judges a person for the way they live or what they’ve done. drugs, sex work, poor self-care, impoverished, etc. none of that matters. he looks into the hearts of people. also he always asks if he can help someone. 
Tumblr media
These next ones are just fun bcus i straight laughed at these panels. 
 5. A little oblivious. 
He’s a genuis and a goddamn angel but by god if he isn’t a lil obtuse some times. he shows up in a lady's apartment in the middle of the night looking like a whole-ass villain about to monologue and has the gall to act shocked that she screams and runs right into his bigass friend that looks like a bodyguard/goon. imo it’s bcus he legit forgot that there are really shitty ppl in the world and popping up in random houses looks sketchy af.
Tumblr media
honestly Pieter wtf did u expect to happen. ur lucky she even trusted ur ass after that. must be all the Saintly Vibes he gives off (btw for those curious she has a rare medical condition and uses an illegal and dangerous drug to cope. he saw her at a drug deal so he popped up at her house to offer his help)
6. Kinda goofy
and Not Awesome at the whole ‘secret identity’ thing tbh. at least not at the beginning. these are just mild and tiny things i zeroed in on like a fuckin hawk. He has medical stationery with his superhero name on it. what a goddamn NERD. i LOVE it. also when he became Doctor Mid-Nite he immediately told like...4-5 ppl?? he’s SUPER trusting like that. tbh his Norwegian accent prob doesn’t help since he was living in Oregon at the time. also that free medical advice site he runs?? that’s run as Doctor Mid-Nite lmaoo Imagine going onto the internet and getting medical advice from a goddamn superhero. That’d be so sick.
Tumblr media
(It reads: 
From the Desk of Doctor Mid-Nite
Take three creeps & lock them up forever! 
Doctor Mid-Nite)
what a cornball, im in L O V E.
These boys stole the groceries from a little girl and he swooped in like a fuckin Nightmare to scare the shit out of them and chide them for stealing. Then what does he do???? he walks the little girl home with her bag of groceries and insists they eat healthily and stay well while still in full superhero gear. that lil girl calls him her friend without a second of hesitation. im weak help.

My headless oc and universe
a lot of people have been asking and i’ve been too busy with commissions to ahve proper time to explain and repeat to different people the same thing, since yeah i’ll repeat the same thing, so i cut some conversation stuff that i had with @doodlejinx and @og-magnus and some others, and some severe influences by the amazing @starshardfragments and wonderful comic by @videntefernandez!
Remember, it’s a casual conversation i had, it’s literally messy and broke and most are just babbling chat by me, so uh, yeah
also. it’s super long.
with @doodlejinx
i had bad idea for ocworld: magic and stuff is fairly common, yet not THAT common but in 20 classmates at least 3 are witches and one is probably a werewolfthe oc: a regular human with bad touch for magic yet atracts a lot of spirits, not harmful oneshe lost his head. he has no head. but he carries it on a supermarket bag or soemthinghis best friend is a ghoulthey speak ASLhe sleep curling onto his own head
just it, he used to be an pharmacy student but had to quit was hard to work without moving the head that's not on his head anymore
now he's doing arts because he loved it and since he has no main dream he's following it, he's a bit bad but he's doing good with learninghe likes sleepovers with his few friends because he can do his own hair
in the end he got used to it, at first he carried his head with all care but at this point, after a few years, he just puts in supermarket bag
he was extremly vanilla to ever think about that, his mind was full of depression and confusion
then after some years he just gave up and he's like, nice, he can see how he's dressing up and do the dishes and tv at the same timeand since magic is fairly common, no one really stares a lot
there are ghouls around, some visible spirits, full dressed witches going to work, sometimes a 100% transformed werewoman playing clash royaleone day he sleeps and forget his head on the subway
the cats may not present as animals, but mostly do when trying to get dealsand it's a common rule
and almsot a law, no deals must be made other way, if the cat's on streetmaybe Daniel followed the crow? doesn't really matter how he lost his headthere are many cat-like entities, yet there are a lot of cats who are just catscat's are absurdly common, the cities are crowded with them and no one can tell if they're cats or entitiesso they are all respected like entities dog/wolf-like entities, different than expected, ahve their own rules about how they share the spot they protect or make dealsdon't talk a lot, but arent enemiesookamis really hate ghouls
ghouls aren't evil, they are just like people with motor disorder, they can do everything, just not look graceful, they can drive, write, everythingbut their joints is just most stiff and look zobie like but they are finebut can't speak wellyou learn asl on class like you learn english and fae
since there are many entities who cannot speakand yet many can't sign as well, so there's faebut it's only used in rare momentswith fae, you never knwo who listens tonever request or beg in faealways speak clear and never suggest a requestyou don't know who listen
it's common for universitary hourses, to be just the smallest hall ever, with 20~30 doors. and just it. the door only, and the owner is usually a fae creature, who charges nothing for the the stay butthe room is an extra dimension, it'll feed on your magic energy, that everybody have in some extentyou can pay with money if you're bad with energydaniel ahs to use money
it's also not recommended for creating a child-like or dependable one, you're responsable for them until they can care for themselves, if they cannot you must love them until you pass, or thembut you need to present a request and sign so many papers
some universitary teachers make those bodies for the ghost studentsthey're not the good bodies, they're simple and have to be given back, but when the student needs somehting he can use the bodyit's nto common, making those bodies is incredible hardand most of them results in... ghoulsghouls are an umbrella term of those who died and cannot pass yet, those who died while possessing a body, those who were murdered by specific magic, ressurections who were made without permission, homunculi that were created without loveeven deals that involved lifetime, it's a matter of respect never asking a ghoul what the fuckin the 90's the witches where phoibited to fly higher than the cars, for police rules and fairness unless they have special permitbut they still angry that doesn't apply for the angelic ones, who can fly as high as they want
details, plants are REALLY common, they are visible anywhere on the streets, even on the most city-like ones, on the windows, anywherethe sky at night is purple. a very deep purpleand last rule, if a crow rests on yout shoulder, you're not allowed to shoo it awayit gets to stay as much as it wantseven go to your house 
unless you offer them the herbs they require, usually hard to have and most advanced witches have, but most of times they just wanna hangwhen they sits on your shoulder you don't shoo, but once they do you can offer them head, the hand, play with it if it wants, it doesn't have to STAY therethey'll be with you as much as they wantif they have the third eye opened, there's someone trying to sell you a cursed itemand since they gave you this information, you tell them a secretthey're good keepers 
it's a world that our world and the fae somehow got mixedand it's fineand take care with merfolk, they eat humans
they're cool, but like human foodlike having a pig as a pet? you love it and still eat their kind?they'll be friends liek anyone else
but they'll still eat humans somehwre, human meat isn't that hard to findand it's legally obtaineddan ate but he didn't like that much, he said it was too firm and hard to swallow, the ghoul signed that he doesn't have palate anywaythose are stuff you learn in middle schoolnever give a crow a namenever invite a cat to your house, you don't know if it's an catthose stuff
and hospitals are really scary placeslike that comic on tumble, that has some gorelemme try to findhospitals merge with other realms other than fae, the nurses are actually a wAY more respected than the doctorsso does the pharmaceuticsthe reasons to go to one goes from cuts, surgery, hunting spells, curses, mispellings on deals, whatnot
tw gore and body horrortho the hospitals aren't sentient on my worldbut are "haunted" placesthe ones hu haunt there aren't dangerous and most of them are surprisingly helpful
he went to an hospital to check his head issue, the nurse said it was there and he'd be fine, but she couldn't identify if it was a curse, joke or bad deal, he's have to remeber more, and with fairy sparkle he saw that under the head, there was the white invisble image of his body, and his head over the body too, but wasn't able to touch or seeit was weird but harmlessand defnitly not the first case 
------
with @og-magnus
he's average by description
body, average, not fat neither defined
cute, but average, not enough to be handsome neither ugly, just ok
dick, also average, not too thicc neither thin, neither long or short
tho he's uncut
 i always end up drawing my average chars too pretty
he's the most bi af
tho mixed with fae world gender is merely a concept
not even humans show only 2 genders, who can say about the other fae creatures
humans with afinnity to magic? the withches? the halflings, crossed with the faes?
people couldn't care less
 sOUNDS NICE, i LIKE IT
 ssholes about the purity oh the human magic, that they insisted that were different from the faes, like the KKK disgraceful ones
but even those care very little about gender
he likes to present very masculine and is cis, but when it comes to dressing and stuff, neither he or anyone mind at all, he just likes large stuff, he says it comfy ad i agree
 tHAT'S SUPER CUTE
 if u look again, all his clothes are meme and large, most of them are old so the tshirt look tigh because it was M but he got fat a bit
so they seems tight
but pajamas
he loves it
give him pajamas and socks and he might cry
 he could but no he's just thicc, not strong
actually he's quite sedentary
make him run 5 minutes and he'll almost have a heart attack, like me
 He sounds like the sweetest boy
 mace an oc for this universe
that is the same of ours with our shitty disgraceful leaders and rising of facism but has fae magic and world mixed
 and at the night the sky is a deep purple instead of a dark blue
yes!
 tho the merfolk don't really like the humans at all but some of them go to study on university on the ground
 IT'S PERFECT
 he can either use an spell/deal/ritual to have legs or look human or wellchairs that are a way better than the ones we have
or even "float" around like the air was water but that would require a very deep connection with magi
magic*
but he can rent this spell lol
yes you can rent spells
 Neat
 like Daniel's house
he lives with a ghoul and is an art student at university
the place is a rented place for universitaries, the room's size is based on the magic you have on you
daniel is a disgrace with magic
he can't do the basic light flicker
he seems to have nothing of magic on him
and the ghoul, Marta, doesn't too because she's a ghoul
so they pay the rent with money so someone makes it, what's normal since not all faes have magic
 Oh ok, you've put a lot of thought into this haven't you?
 you ahve no idea
marta has background
daniel too, the laws, the cats
every cat's color has a bg too
 That's great!
 even the place he sleeps and the interaction with other fae creatures even the fact that spoken languages aren't so commo0n so as much as you learn english you also learn ASL
marta is a ghoul, very 80's zombie, she can't speak since she has little coordination of her tongue
but she can sign
and dan can read just fine
also even in elementary schools there are small classes of understanding, accepting and using small amounts of magic
daniel coulldn't use any at all
he's not the choosen one, it's a known issue, rare, but known
he's not the only one to really have 0 ability with magic
it's like having extremly rare disease
tho having magic power in harry potter like level is really rare
in a crowd of 100 ppl maybe 3 can
it's common, yes
but not natural
those are the withces
withches*
Aaaa
 Ok I see, so most people can do basic stuff but either end of the spectrum is quite rare
 yep
it's more rare having no magic contact, it's a magic world after all
there's no dishes washing itself, it's less magical than it suggest
but even a regular human can feel when a cat is a cat or an entity
or feel intentions, if they're trained to understand what the aura gives
but dan cannot really feel those
even marta who's dead can
she's not a zombie she's a homunculi, and there's a lot about homuncili that i wont start it's so long
 just know that they're either
- dead, who were wrongfully ressurected - failed or illegal summonings - uncertified and illegal creation of life, which the crator is now bound to make happy and live at it's fullest - dead who'se sold their soul or for any reason didn't pass to other realms - deals. bad deals. oh boy.
caniballism, ressurection and artificial human life are a thing that isn't ilegal but almsot no one can legally perform
 you need so many papers signed and permissions and witnesses
also it's extremly illegal and is punishable by the locking of the soul the creation of artificial life for slavery and servitude
so is the creation of a homunculi that wont be loved, tho they are see as our legacy and your child, they cannot eb created without love
or... they'll b a ghoul.
soul lock impedes you of trancending the realms until the soul you imprisioned or created are finally ready to pass as well
 and trust, the homunculi aint powerful, they're humans like us that were not created by sex or those, or even deceased child who couldn't born die miscarry, whose parents contacted the soul and brough the child back
in those cases, you cannot force a soul
that's why it takes months to be performed and is watched closely
 so is canibalism, which daniel is somehow very into
the fairies and merfolk specially are really needy of human meat, like it was an craving dish
the deceased and suicidal ones leave their body to eb consumed, the burial isn't really a thing
the being part of something bigger is
a meat adquired by murder or cowercion tastes bad and rots too easily, it also goes for animal meat
oh man i build a lot
i'm ranting
 I'm gonna try to fit my Triton into this I'd be interested in knowing more about them.
 What would you like to know?
Where do they come from/live?
 Mostly seas, very hardly rivers
And depend on where they live
 So there are town all over the world then?
 The entities are like, onis from Japan, headless horses and snakes from Brazil
There are faes that are exclusive from some places
Ye
All over
They despise humanity for their pollution on their realms, you know how Japan was closed and not discovered? So we're merfolk, but they were discovered much later, in the 1700s
They are wary of humans and distrust other faes
Speaking generically of course
 They live in another ruling setting and are still very closed
But as hard it is to spot albinos it's hard to find them
But some visit and even live on the surface
they use elemental magic mostly, there are many types, but spiritual and elemental are the most commons
followed bu demoniac and holy, as cliche as it is
the hells aren't open enither the ehavens, tho the concept here is absolutly different than chatolic
it's almost impossivle to spot demons or angels
it's almost like they cannot survive on earth
 more about gender: 90% of the merfolk known are absolutly intersex, they may or may not prefer one of their genitalia or even present none
and the "known" is because the deep abyss is still a mistery, even tho some merfolk helped, still unexplored and no one knows it's cryptids
and now that i'm back on pc
the inspiration for the cats and fae interactions, and why danel wanted to be a nurse, based on another thing
this would be up to you
maybe yes, maybe not
 lemme get the links
http://starshardfragments.tumblr.com/post/159915922140/how-to-deal-with-street-cats
this for the cats
many entities do not react or present their will as humans could read, some are triksters
you never know if a cat is an entity or just a cat, they're numerous and are common in cities as pigons
i'ts so common that dealing with them is something your parents teach, it's just like they etaching like to draw a smiley face
most people have a tingle on the spine, even the low magic ones when it comes to those, they cannot be sure if it's a cat or not, but they will get wary
daniel can't even be sure it's a cat at all
now the hospital: (tw gore, blood, mutilations, murtansts whatsoever gore)
http://videntefernandez.tumblr.com/post/159578140848/im-really-thankful-to-my-patrons-for-making-this
the hospitals are more modern on my setting and less 'sentient' but they are still a place that is absolutly mystical
the nurses are hierarquically more important than the doctors, hence they are the ones who deal and welcome all sorts of stuff
from car crashes to bad deals and bizarre magic, it's a place for curses and modern medicine
daniel wanted to be a nurse, but he was forced out of the gradutaion since even he was really interested, a nurse must ahve some contact with magic
and he was shit
so he folowed his second passion, that is arts
but he's broke since he just started artign at 23 years old, and his dreams were into the blender
he works on a bodega
 Aww, and the hospitals are neat
 they are!!
they're super neat and they're like
what's the name of those schools where you live at?
they become your house and your coworkers your family
you don't just work there, but you also live there (in the residence inside the area) and be a part of it
specially the cleaners and service people
they're often the oldest and wiser, since the cleaning of what happens on those places is pure madness
and they're either too young or too old, since a young is getting into and the older endured the madness
spirits and ghosts are a thing, they cannot be easly spotted since they're a flicker between realms, but they go to university and even live in manequins once in a while
the manequins are built for them to be present in the material world
most of the witches can see them
they just can't be part of the object or place for too long, or it becomes cursed
but they're just like us, sharing memes on internet
 just depend on why they still on this realm
the fact they didn't pass is always their secret and only
isn't it absurdly rude to ask a transgender person if they changed their genitalia? it's as rude to ask a ghost why it still here and to ask a ghoul how it turned into a ghoul
it's their and their business only
oh man the universe is so huge i could spend the whole day rambling
 It's sweet that you're so invested tho
 just last detail, all law problems ARE solved with truth spells
it's an artifice of the law to use it since an innocent has nothign to hide
the judges and witnesses are also under it
so even murdering has little incidence, since there's almost no get away, but instead, it's a nasty thing the "accidents" and bad deals
people lost when following cats, people locked and dying inside cursed houses
doors that lead to nowhere, people find their way to crime
and the "truth serum", that can be bough, isn't really a truth spell, but an sort of energetic that makes a person less inclined to lie, till, they can lie
and it's considered a crime using one without conscent
 this world has a lot of fae rules, and most of them consist on deals
a deal makes you agree or not on using your energy, aura, soul or what you feel like calling it
if you're unwilling, there's very little things that will work
since the energy is pure and reflect the feelings
using forced one is almost like trying to eat a man who didn't want to die
the meat will be hard, frim and will spoil easly
you can buy human meat at the supermarket, tho it's really impossoble to find, it's not like milk, you don't find caviar at all supermarkets
it has to be specialized ones
oh, it's more a comment about how this world is cetic and somwewhat too serious
and about daniel, losing head like this is VERY rare, but yet was seen before, tho the reason depends, could be curse, could be heritage of some fae and entities? could be a lot
sometimes it limbs, most common it's organs, like heart specially
some take their own heart by spell to hide somwhere
daniel dunno how it happened to him
he doesn't mind
 happened when he was seventeen
yet he has the feeling it'll never be back to his neck
 Guessing it's hard to reattach stuff?
 yeah, there's somehting they don't know that impedes it, and he could use an improvised stuff to hold it there, but the edges repel, like two magnetes on the same polar
it's meant to not be there anymore
 like, he can rest with the neck parts touching, but if the intent is to keep them connected, somethign wont allow it
he went to hospitals and no one could tell, since daniel himseld had no clue
if he followed a cat, could a an deal he made without really realizing
enemy? an curse?
he doesn't know, just woke up like this
and he's not really seeking to solve, deep inside he knows there's no solving and no explanation will really make him happy
he's ok, it's like a limp. a nuisiance, but you live on
he doesn't mind anymore
 Well then, seems like he's doing alright ^^
 oh, he is! he totally is
it's far past the point where he cared
it just bothered on the first months, explainign it to people who knew he had a head there
but since i'ts a mixed with fae world, it's not liek people stared at him
no one ask at all
it's rare and most of them never saw it
but so is a lot of stuff that happen
the crying image of him is mostly... he is always lost, he doesn't understand a lot, his dream was crushed by his lack of magic, that no one can tell why it happens, neither seem to solve
he's afraid, he doesn't understand a lot of things
he always feel liek he's being left behind, that he doesn't understand a lot of stuff, that he's not as smart as everyone else
he does have depression, a bit anxious
sometimes he just feel too scared
he really wanted to be a nurse
and very little creatures are watched on this world
vampires are one of them
they're SUPER rare, and they drink the blood? yes, but isn't the blood that feeds them
it's the life itself
all vampires have an bracelet that identifies them
since they're one of the unique creatures that manipulate minds without an satruggle, even by accident
their will is powerful
they may manipulate by accident
most of nurses and judges and enforces of law are watches as closely as the vampires
and artists too
all cameras are heavly certified, to be sure they wont hold your soul on the pictures
so many details
they are extremly influential on the life of the individuals they interact
but it's a world of deals and trickster
they have to be watched
therefore, there's a job for ghosts who want to
it's common sense: someone is always watching
and furthermore: never ask anything to the wind
someone also listen
they live pretty much like us, except that nature is everywhere
not like, futuristic
but everyone have plants, the streets are full
you can easly find a witch
their houses often look like jungles
since not only herbs and mixes they cultivate, but the trees and plants are more than just plants
marta, the ghoul, cultivates rare sorts of plants on the very small room they share
she makes her living selling them
extremly rare, some joke she's a ghoul because she sould her soul to lay hands on those
 Oh that I really like
 it's higly requires, since witches use a LOT and those who have their magic touch also use once in a while
anyone can put seeds on pots, but they're not magic because of this, they're weeds
it's how you plant them
and marta has her own secrets, she knows how to plant them and nourish them, she has more than a green finger
she's really good at
 I think my character has got to have something to do with keys
 and fun... she cannot speak, and yet she speaks with the plants, daniel doesn't understand she damn she explaines more than 10 times, detailed
ohh
keys!
on the subject, key is anything that locks a thing
they can or cannot be material, often are
but yet
it's another job that is respected, they key makers, for any doors
there are whole university graduations on keys
a soul lock requires a key
justice files require keys
 That's what he's in the human world to study then
 he can meet daniel!!!!
same class on design of artefacts: reading, understanding, feeling and categorizing
canibalism is not that common, it's a thing you do like... twice a year if you REALLY into it, and daniel is atrcted to it even eh doesn't know why... it's a nagging feeling he can't shake, a driven will that seems not his
but damn he'd do the joke
everone do the joke
and he's the type of nerd who types LMHO insteaf of LMAO
 laughing my HEAD off
 he's an absolute dofus
he puts his head with the milkshake on the same bag
so he can walk and drink
cute dork
so many head ouns
puns*
shirts with head related lines
people who know him, every single time sigh because they KNOW the pun is coming
 dan is extremey curious, he's almost obonoxious of how curious he is
he's extra intrusive and have very little limits
 since he really do not understand a lot
whenever a fae entitiy is around, he finds his way to ask form what is like being an entitie of X stuff and what's your favorite reptile
 they would have an awkward start because oh boi he would be intrusive
easly dismissable, but persistent
 oH
OMGJFGHGJKEFDHGJKW
DANIEL LOVES COOKING HE'd be so happy to show it
and since he's a good artist even he's a new one, he'd help him with the proportion of paitings and how the oils and saturation worked on dry ambientes, if sygg needs
 he would ask to touch his skin, how is to live underwater, how it feels to be under a spell to live on eart and so many and so many endless questions
 well, dan respect the share of knowledge he's so often deprived due his lack of magic
how sygg stays on eath? how do you imagine it tho?
he floats around? like air is waterw
 there are rulings but they mostly resume on the speed and high you can swim but those won't bother him then!
dan would be mesmerized
 and even he was, dan wouldn't understand anyway, but having the knowledge seems to be enough for him
sad, but enough
he's fine with it
 how attached to hugs and touch dan is, dan really feels alone most of times, like he was detached from people as his head form him
 he hold hands with strangers if they allow
he let them carry his head if they ask
 the fact you can lower his head and only at sygg at his wishes? you corrupted me i blame

2019 What’s the Weekly Challenge Rankings Week 1 Weekly Challenge What Is It IDP Flex Weekly Challenge? Rankings
What’s up YouTubers it’s the Will + Dyl show back at it again with another set of power rankings. And by Will + Dyl back at it again I mean Dylan back at it again while I incoherently ramble nonsensical garbage next to him. We’re off to a great start. Per usual, Dylan will provide his EXPERT level statistical analysis of players and teams, and I’ll pick some stupid meme to run with. This week we’re going with Super Smash Bros because Banjo Kazooie just dropped and it’s the only light in my life outside of Ace and Dairy Delight. Anyway, take it away Dylan.

Howdy folks! It’s been a while. I’ve wanted to get back into writing Power Rankings, but it seemed like a bad idea. I haven’t followed football late in the 2017-2018 season, and honestly, I have no idea what’s going on. But Will has convinced me that it doesn’t matter, and that I can do these anyway. So without further ado, here are my power rankings, based on what I understand about the league from almost two years ago. 
11. Cleveland Browns
The Browns have been the worst organization in football for about 15 years. Last I checked, this team was losing every single game, finishing the season 0-16. And now it seems that Josh Gordon DeShone Kizer aren’t even there anymore? This team has no shot. I don’t know who this Daniel Jones fellow is, but hopefully he can help; otherwise, this team is primed for a lot of losses. 
Tumblr media
Super Smash Bros character: Pichu. If you’ve played Smash Bros, you know that Pichu has nearly the same moveset (if not the same exact moves, sue me Evan I don’t use Pichu) as Pikachu. The only difference is, anytime Pichu attacks, it also hurts itself. Just like me, every time I look at this stupid gimmick team I decided to go with instead of actually trying to win free money.
10. Honedge Heroes
Antonio Brown AND Le’Veon Bell? I’m not a fan of taking the two Steelers, who will steal touches from each other. Brandin Cooks is great, and I like Derrick Henry, but I’ve never even heard of half of this team. This team should suspend any hope they had of being a contender. 
Tumblr media
Smash Bro: R.O.B. Rob is a robot, so is Dylan.  I am reminded about a thing I read today on Reddit about a robot. It was written by Douglas Adams. Please hold while I find the quote:
A robot was programmed to believe that it liked herring sandwiches. This was actually the most difficult part of the whole experiment. Once the robot had been programmed to believe that it liked herring sandwiches, a herring sandwich was placed in front of it. Where upon the robot thought to itself, Ah! A herring sandwich! I like herring sandwiches. It would then bend over and scoop up the herring sandwich in its herring sandwich scoop, and then straighten up again. Unfortunately for the robot, it was fashioned in such a way that the action of straightening up caused the herring sandwich to slip straight back off its herring sandwich scoop and fall on to the floor in front of the robot. Whereupon the robot thought to itself, Ah! A herring sandwich...etc., and repeated the same action over and over again. The only thing that prevented the herring sandwich from getting bored with the whole damn business and crawling off in search of other ways of passing the time was that the herring sandwich, being just a bit of dead fish between a couple of slices of bread, was marginally less alert to what was going on than was the robot.
^ This is Dylan, and the herring sandwich is the New York Mets.
9. Cursed Will
It’s tough to rank the team with the best player in football (Aaron Rodgers) this low. But Jordy Nelson is getting up there in years, so I’m not sure how good Rodgers receivers will be. 
Tumblr media
Super Mash Potato: King K. Rool.  Dylan had a pretty fire one for this, so I’ll let him take it away:
IT’S NICE THAT AFTER YEARS OF FREELOADING IN SMASH GAMES AS A TROPHY AND A STICKER, KING K. ROOL FINALLY DECIDED TO CONTRIBUTE AND BE PART OF THE SMASH ROSTER. THIS DOESN’T HELP ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO SPENT YEARS WITH THE EARLIER SMASH GAMES, BUT I’M SO FUCKING HAPPY THAT NOW THAT HE’S OLD AND IRRELEVANT, HE FINALLY DECIDED TO BE USEFUL.
For those who don’t know, Evan now pays rent. For those who also don’t know, Evan and King K. Rool are both thousands of years old, have leathery skin, and eat Taco Bell every other day. Also, check out this screenshot of K Rool from when Banjo was announced, it’s literally the most Evan photo on the internet.
Tumblr media
8. Float Like a… Whine Like AB
I’m not sure why they have Alex Smith’s backup at QB. Davante Adams and Michael Thomas are great, but Mark Ingram seems to be their only competent RB. Maybe they’ll get Alex Smith and find a way to contend. Otherwise, I’m not really sure what this team is doing. 
Tumblr media
Smush - Donkey Kong. For those of you who don't know, Donkey Kong got his name because Nintendo wanted to convey that the ape was stubborn, so they picked the most stubborn animal they could think of. Or at least that’s how the story goes. That alone would be fitting enough for Jason, but really he gets DK because of DK’s affinity to charge up a punch and wiff on it, only to CHARGE UP AGAIN LATER.
7. tbt to K88 being platonic
I’m glad to see Larry Fitzgerald is still around, and they have Andrew Luck’s long-time favorite target Eugene Hilton. Ben Roethlisberger could have a huge year with the talent on that Pittsburgh offense, and Alvin Kamara is great. Still, I’d expect Devonta Freeman to split carries again, and the Bills’ defense can’t be very good. 
Tumblr media
Super Dunk - Young Link.  Young Link has been out of the Smash Brothers games for over a decade which is almost as long as Harnsowl has been out of America.  Also, YL can drink a seemingly endless amount of Lon Lon Milk, just like Harnsowl with alcohol. 
6. Spicy Meatballs
From what I’ve been told, James White should be the best RB in football by now. I’ll take Phil’s word for this. And Drew Brees is awesome. But I’m not sure about the rest of the team. JuJu Smith-Schuster will have trouble getting touches over the Killer B’s, and all I know about Anthony Miller is that he was a mediocre NBA player in the 90’s who had a brief cameo in Space Jam. Tough to see this team doing well if they can’t improve on that depth. 
Tumblr media
Super Meesh Pepe - Samus. Another soulless human robot thingamabob whose only purpose is to watch the New York Mets. Dark Samus for when the Mets lose. So I guess always Dark Samus?
5. No Content
I don’t know if Kyler Murray is actually good, but I’m expecting a big year out of Eric Decker. And the Colts QB has always loved throwing to TE’s, so Eric Ebron should have a huge year. A definite sleeper who might take the league by storm.
Tumblr media
Supper Dinner Brother - Lil Mac.  Dylan beat me to it again:
I respect the effort that they put into making Little Mac a better character. They improved his aerial gameplay and his recovery, and made a bunch of other improvements. It must have taken them, like, 12 weeks of work! But, despite all that effort, he’s still in a low tier and can’t compete with the stronger characters.
Honestly, the biggest difference here is that Lil Mac definitely never skips leg day (see photo)
Tumblr media
But apparently Kyle has been for the past 84 days.
4. Shit Outta Luck
For some reason, their team page says that they dropped Andrew Luck, but I’m going to assume that there’s some kind of issue in the database that will be resolved shortly. I’m assuming some team that already had a franchise QB took Saquon Barkley at a completely reasonable pick in the draft, and he’s doing great there. And Mike Evans is a star. Once Andrew Luck is re-added to the roster, this team can be a real contender.
Smash Bros Character - N/A. Dylan, Who’s fuckin team is this?
3. I’m Still Here Bitches
A shockingly strong showing for Team Arielle. David Johnson, from what I recall, is the best RB in football. Julio Jones is awesome. Dak Prescott is pretty good, although honestly, I still think Tony Romo is better. Damien Williams might not get a ton of carries in KC, but I still think this team could go a long way.
Tumblr media
Daisy. Daisy doesn’t belong in Smash (yeah, I said it Andy), and Arielle doesn’t belong in the league
2. Team Mar
The squad from the 845 is looking very strong. Two superstar WR’s in Alshon Jeffrey and Keenan Allen, a perennial MVP candidate in Matt Ryan, and two top 5 caliber RB’s in Leonard Fournette and Christian McCaffrey? I have no idea how this roster is even possible.
Tumblr media
Mashed Potato: Joker.  I honestly know nothing about you, just like I know nothing about this anime (?) character who is in Super Smash Brothers. His name is Joker but he’s clearly not from Gotham and your instagram handle is Marisa845 and you’re clearly not from the 845 otherwise Bowers would’ve remembered seeing you at South. He knows everyone who went to South.
1. Venice Beach Hulkamaniacks 
Now here’s a team of people I recognize. A.J. Green? Trey Burton? Melvin Gordon? Shady McCoy? DION LEWIS? I honestly don’t see how things could possibly go wrong with that kind of talent. This team shouldn’t lose a single game. And there you have it. Hopefully by next week, I will have learned a little bit about the modern NFL and can take a better stab at these, but hopefully this helps get you excited for another great season of the NATIONAL! FOOTBALL! LEAGUE! Back to you Boom.
Tumblr media
Smash Boo: King Dedede. The people’s champ. The Penguin with the Hammer.  Just like Kirby, King Dedede can suck in opponents.  Just like Bowers, if those opponents taste like carbs, he will not swallow them. King Dedede has an unrelenting hammer akin to Bowers’ unrelenting trade offers for LeShady McCoy, and had this other game where he got swol af just like Bowers is gonna be at the end of his journey. At least his 12 week journey has seen results. 
Also, I’m genuinely unsure if Bowers wrote this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jibCSdZ8xG0 
73. Andy Brown
Tumblr media
A late addition that we had to shoehorn in here even though they don’t belong in the Power Rankings.
