Doctober day 28:

[■▪︎ Metallic ▪︎■]

The stainless steel structure of the DeLorean was an advantage for the Flux dispersal.

Strange how that's one of the only things he remembered. But even that memory was fading quickly.

Maybe whatever that memory meant could explain the metallic taste in his mouth.

He could think of much else when he lifted his head from the steering wheel. Most of this thoughts were drowned out by mind-numbing headache.

Marty couldn't barely peel his hands from the hot plastic. He could shake the feeling he had forgotten something...

*******************************************************

THIS IS VERY HEAVILY INSPIRED BY THE FIC "What I Left Behind" BY @fiddlstyx !!!! Check it out I definitely recommend it!!!

#the whole stainless steel structure was the only thing i coukd think of when i read this prompt lmao #bttf #back to the future #marty mcfly #what i left behind #wilb #doctober 2023 #bttf doctober #doctober #harassynth is a federal crime mr corleone

"aphobia doesn't exist"

bitch literally not that long ago an aroace youtuber animator was insulted by almost half of its community for being it

#i did some research about it and found out that the problem was principally that she had previous experience in the romantic area #so people just didn't take her seriously and said she was lying #even though she stated multiple times that she wasn't comfortable in those situations #now things are more calmed but damn #mind your own bussiness #i believe she knows more about herself than you #sorry if i offended you with this comment but i hate how aro/ace/aroace people are always left behind #insulted and rejected because they “dont know what they are talking about” #or because they “just have to wait for the right person” #or because they are “psychopaths and they are missing something” #i love that animator and she helped me realise a lot about myself #and now that i know the context i think i will start making a list and killing aphobes one by one #aromantic #arospec #asexual #aroace #acespec

Dani, sightseeing in Gotham, thinks that perhaps Robin needs a personal Villain.

The others clearly suck at their jobs, and she's already hated by the government. Plus, there's a bunch of dead goons that would gladly help set up training exercises for Robin if she asked!

Vlad and Dan are always telling her to make friends in her own age group anyways.

So she goes and starts trouble when Robin is on patrol, and adamantly refuses to play with any other hero.

Red Hood arrives? She just stops, stares at him in disgust, and disappears.

Nightwing? She waves at him half heartedly and asks when Robin can come out.

Red Robin? Loves planning with him, isn't entirely convinced he's not actually a villain.

Spoiler? Best costume. But also the best at hunting Dani? 0/10. Dani flees on sight.

BlackBat? Girlboss. 10/10. Likes to learn some cool ninja moves from her to practice on Robin.

Batman? Adult. Smells like money. Gross. She makes it a point to stare at him with all the disgust and hatred she can before going invisible and stealing the candy from his belt.

Signal? Creeps her out. Always knows where she is. She does make sure to give him a wave sometimes. He seems pretty cheered up when she does that.

Robin? Time to play time to play time to play. Intense weird plots that serve no real purpose, mazes that always shift, puzzles she put together with Red Robin, holding Robin's other friend Superboy hostage for a really cool battle across the rooftops (Superboy is also like, kinda cool? He prefers to hang out normally, though; although he does agree that Robin needs this level of entertainment for enrichment purposes).

She thinks Robin is having as much fun as her, honestly.

(Damian is, and the rest of the Bats and Supers think it's adorable)

Really fucked up that, when they’re young, Patrick and Art are SO tactile with each other, so comfortable sharing the same space. Art lets Patrick touch him and move him and physically overwhelm him and easily acquiesces to it, if not outright enjoys it.

Then in the present, they’ve been so far out of each other’s orbit for so long, held such animosity that when they have their moment alone in the sauna, Art physically recoils from Patrick’s close proximity! It’s so painful to watch because even as Patrick’s goading him, it’s so obvious he wants to be able to get back into Art’s space. But Art has erected all these walls around himself, he refuses to give Patrick an inch or even admit to missing how close they used to be!

AND THEN we see Art and Tashi later and he wants her to hold him, to be gentle with him, and just TOUCH him. Like, he does miss that kind of close physical contact! He either doesn’t know how to ask for it or is uncomfortable being that openly vulnerable. Worth noting that he pretty much always defers to Tashi in regard to initiating physical intimacy (with their first kiss, though he does state his desire, SHE has to be the one to make the first move). And it seems pretty obvious that Tashi herself isn’t comfortable providing that intimacy, whereas Patrick actively seeks to provide it (the hug/forehead kiss after their win together in the early years, dragging the stool closer to him).

Art has tried very hard to act like he doesn’t need physical affection and even though his discipline and devotion to Tashi has made him a stronger tennis player, it’s made him a hollow person, which, in turn, has kept him from becoming a GREAT tennis player.

All of this, of course, is why the ending hits so damn hard.

#challengers #challengers spoilers #art donaldson #unfortunately i have once again zeroed in on the most repressed character and made them my favorite #lol @ all the people saying he’s a manipulative snake: that’s part of what makes him great! #i think a fair amount of that manipulation or attempts at it come from a fear of loss and being alone #if he has to lose one to keep the other he’ll do it because it’s better than being left behind #hoo boy yet another character trait my fucked up faves have in common 😬 #let’s not even get into how tashi AND patrick are trying to do right by him #tashi by making it so he can retire with a career to be proud of #patrick (who was pissed on art’s behalf wrt throwing the match) by laying all his cards on the table (court) #and giving art what he needed to play a great fucking game #there’s a whole other post to be written about how tashi and patrick handle art in similar ways #specifically that he submits to them so easily they take charge of him manipulate him the ways they want #good lord i need to see this movie again #or not might not be conducive to keeping my brain from melting out my ears lol

So I've been thinking lately about how Mithrun is Kabru's dark mirror (more on that another time- it needs its own post), and I thought it interesting that one of their parallels is that they were both cared for by Milsiril, but in opposite directions. She took Kabru in as her foster after he was orphaned and tried to convince him not to become an adventurer. On the flip side, she helped rehabilitate Mithrun specifically so that he could rejoin the Canaries.

And I kept wondering: why?

For Kabru, obviously she loves him a whole lot- despite any other shortcomings in their relationship, I do believe that.

So I get why she tries to convince him not to go dungeoning, and, failing that, at least prepares him as thoroughly as she can.

But why help Mithrun? She used to hate Mithrun, but after realizing what a secretly twisted person he was, she actually thought of him more positively (oh, Milsiril). So it wasn't as if she held the kind of grudge that might motivate her to make his already-depleted life even more miserable by sending him back to the dungeons. And it wasn't that she felt bad for him either, since she didn't visit Mithrun for the first ~20 years of his recovery.

The Adventurer's Bible says that Utaya was the impetus for Mithrun returning to the Canaries, but Milsiril is the one who made the trip to see him and tell him about it.

Why would Milsiril work so hard to get her old coworker back into fighting fit? Why encourage him to return to such a dangerous lifestyle, when she was the one who chose not to mercy-kill him?

That last panel is such a crazy thing to hint at and then never elaborate on. Without it we could have just thought that Milsiril wanted the Canaries' work to continue without her, even if it seemed out of character. I think some people even assume she's just a natural caretaker as a foster mom and handwave it to include nursing Mithrun too. What could Milsiril's suspicious motives be? What does she gain from Mithrun joining the Canaries that isn't an altruistic desire to see dungeons safely sealed? Feeling a sense of responsibility for the work she left behind isn't an ulterior motive.

My theory is: Milsiril, knowing that Mithrun was empty save for the burning desire to face the demon again, wound him up like a clockwork doll and pointed him back at the dungeons.

Hoping that he'd eliminate the biggest threat to Kabru's life, before it was too late for him.

Milsiril the puppetmaster.

#Mithrun #Milsiril #Kabru #btw I'm working with the only translations I could find sorry #so keep that in mind #like it just seemed WEIRD to me #that gloomy introverted Milsiril #who left the life of a Canary behind #decided to do this Canary-adjacent work of helping this guy #maybe the queen made her do it because so many people died and they needed more Canaries idk! #but why would anyone pick Milsiril as a life coach? I really think it was her own choice #it's so interesting how we get these hints of a downright sinster Milsiril #I really like the complicated relationship she and Kabru have #struggling to fully humanize him from her elven perspective #but still taking him seriously wrt: his fears over being a monster or his desire to go to a party! #crazy stuff there #everything about Kabru and adjacent to Kabru is insane what a character

Bonus 9: So that's where the turtle came from!

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #bonus comic #tulu xuanwu #lan sizhui #Thank you Stackedbirds for the inspiration behind this comic! #The original plan was that they would kill the turtle - only for it to be revealed there was little baby turtles she was protecting #and those turtles left the cave to then be chilling in a river by yi-city 20 years later. #This version has less turtle death and is way more straightforward. #But yes; A-Qing's turtle was always supposed to be linked to the tulu xuanwu. I enjoy call-backs and set-ups immensely. #What other creatures does LSZ have in his sleeve pockets? What other endangered beasts have been accidently translocated? #Will the turtle ever make an appearance again? So many questions. Which I will now answer: #1) At least one rabbit and a few songbirds have made a permanent home in there. #2) I like to think all the cultivators leaving baoshan sanren's mountain are accidently translocated endangered creatures. #3) Yes. The tulu xuanwu will be pivotal presence in the climax of the story. Dare I say - the hero of the darkest hour.

the fact the marty is the first human being to ever time travel and that the only other person (einstein, not actually a person) to do it before him only traveled minute while he went 30 fucking years (15768000 minutes) is a very good concept for potential angst

say that time travel causes negative strain on a person’s mind (like can cause amnesia) and the farther you go the worse the effect is. so einstein would not be effected in any way, while marty would be very very badly effected. which would be bad. for someone in the past. oops.

he would most likely pass out as soon as the traveling happens which causes him to crash, which is not good. im not entirely sure how doc would actually find him so im just gonna gloss over that part :)

doc ends up finding this weirdly dressed teenager with no memory and decides to help him either out of the kindness of his heart or some other reason i can’t think of rn. especially since literally no one in town recognizes this kid or his name, not even the other kid his age with the same last name

as marty starts to regain his memories he comes to a slow realization that, while this is his town, everything is different (or as he says “older”) than he remembers. because of this him and doc go to investigate the delorean, where they find the video camera in there

basically, hyjinks ensue with added amnesia angst (or any other possible problems that could come with time travel)

HSIEGEHKSVEKAU1GAHANAAAAAA

Just read @fiddlstyx 's "What I Left Behind" and A omg it was great. I'm assuming there won't be anymore bc its not in the ending notes but AAAAAA I wish I could keep reading!!!!!

Also I have a couple questions abt it tho (spoilers btw go read it!!)

1. At the beginning it says the prompt was "the further you go back to time the worse your memory gets" or something along the line if that, so does that mean the further as in the more you time travel or further as in further in the past? Because if it's the more you time travel, Emmett would notice and recognize Marty in the drive way therefore being able to tell him just the basics of who he is and his family and stuff. Alternatively, Emmett would not recognize him (but would take him in bc of pity, is what I think is implied at the end, taht he takes him in) although marty would only have a memory of him dying, therefore recognizing him. And with his only memory being of this guy dying he would look absolutely insane bc this kid (who Emmett has never scene in this case) who is scuffed up, sleeping on the curb starts blabbering to him[Emmett] abt how he[Emmett] got shot and he[Marty] got in a car crash and Emmett and the only thing he remembers in his whole life.

Sorry that got out of hand lol, so the questions are

1. What do you mean by "further in time"?

2. Does Doc remember/recognize Marty?

3.Does Doc take Marty in from the streets?

And finally

4. Will there be more added to the fic?

Papercraft Ed! I had the sketch for this one finished a while ago, but for whatever reason didn’t feel quite happy with it. Eventually I tried flipping it to face the opposite way - meaning his automail arm was now facing the viewer and could be shown via rips in his clothes and gloves - and then BAM, I liked how it looked after all! Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make all the difference.

Silt Verses protagonists // Returning Home

#the silt verses #hi just realized carpenter and faulkner's returning home episodes are both chapter 9 of s2 and 3 respectively #idk what to do with this info #anyway something that makes me deeply emotional about this #just the way all of them return to it #paige expecting to come home to an empty abandoned place. surprised to find what's there. seeing the land as unpredictable. #carpenter knowing of the ruin of her previous childhood home. haunted more by the people she left behind. finding no comfort in being back. #faulkner being optimistic. saying perhaps his home could be a temple one day. this is the safest place i could be he says #(and I can't help but think about faulkner leaving marks before he left his home. so that no one else could find a home there.) #(both paige and faulkner returning home when they have no where else to go) #hayward looking up at his old home fondly. there's nothing left for him there. nothing he can find that he doesn't already have. #let her have the lie of me he says.
