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

Yeah, he comments in other fics fairly regularly - including NSFW ones - mostly the ones with actual plot lines though, as far as I can tell.

 

Ah yes, the curse of the SI fic.

If you write them as reacting calmly to the situation, you get called completely unrealistic.

If you write them as properly panicking, you get rants upon rants about that...

 

There's this fic on SB called Ringwraith where the SI freaks out that she's a black lantern.

Several of the readers complained about it only for the author to point out that her freaking out that she's in what is essentially a death world with a ring connected to a monster, Nekron, and being removed from her world, as well as being dead, is a very good reason for her to be freaking out.

 

I'm torn between wanting the Knight to stick around for the sheer hilarity and wanting him to just shut up and go away.

 

You are welcome.

 

Theory for this episode:

It's going to involve Apokalips.

The title is Otherworld, which is connected to the Celtic gods, and that cult that used the Anti Life equation was stealing those weird statues, of which at least one was of Cernunnos, the Celtic God of the Hunt.

The Apokaliptuans may be trying to gain a foothold into some of the divine realms connected to the Earth.

The only comic I remember featuring the Celtic gods was this n52 one where Wonder Woman and Batman help some of them.

 

Paul against Apokolips? Could actually result in a climatic battle at the end this time. Curse of the long developed and powerful SI aside, he shouldn't be too much stronger than any Apokoliptian New God. Though, it has been quite a while since he did last fight them.

 

Several characters have compared him to a New God, and Canis once said that he was a powerful one, so if it is them he may fight a member of their Elite.

 

I'm actually pretty sympathetic to Mallobaude, both here and in canon. Guy turns down something he has sought his entire life on a matter of principle and sticks to his (metaphorical) guns, even when that takes him to a dark place (Mousillon is not a place of sunshine and puppies).

I really hope we see he and Paul talking in a less...confrontational fashion. Mallobaude is someone I'd ask to have at my back come hell or high water.

 

The two do apparently talk sometime in the future, where Paul helps him with his crisis.

 

One thing confusing to me about Warhammer Lantern is that in all the other settings, the SI has had knowledge of that particular fictional universe wiped from his minds. So for instance, Paragon knows about DC comics characters in general, but not the world of the Young Justice cartoon in particular.

So why does he seem to know all about Warhammer Fantasy?

 

There have been various versions that he may have some general knowledge of the Fantasy setting, just not the specific one he is in.

 

Than.

 

Thank you, corrected.

Multiple editions.

 

He's using ring translation. "Mon-keigh" -> "beings lesser than elves" -> some appropriate Elven word (for the dark elves) or not-found, use-phonetic-approximation (for the Knight).

 

You realize that various Paul's have gone around brainwashing people for much more petty reasons?

 

The only version of Paul I remember brainwashing people for petty reasons is Tangseid.

The others who did it were paragon and Fantasy Paul, and both altered the mindsets of utter monsters, Mammon and the psychopathic elves, to turn them into reasonable and relatively sane people.

That's not exactly comparable to the ISA's desire to brainwash millions of innocent people because they want power.

 

I truly pity any Paul that got sent to Age of Sigmar.....well...a Red Ring might be right at home in that mess.

 

I pity the people who play the damned game.

 

So Georgia invited Dox right?

Did he say yes? He may actually decide to make time to meet Georgia's entire family and see if they're all as amazing as she is.

 

its pretty good but it is forever associated with the death of the old world. thankfully they are bringing it back. kinda was hopping this would be an update on the previous warhammer fantasy interlude.

 

maybe 'than'

'They've'

Maybe you can make it 'we have'.

I know it's just a shortened way of saying we have, but it sounds kinda weird.

Wow, you really know how to give compliments.

You don't get to criticize others for that anymore.

I can't wait until the others discover his real age!

He should be fine if he goes there.

He's highly intelligent, scientifically inclined and has experience with insane and evil families and parents, seeing as he was basically raised/experimented on by his insane and evil father/genetic template.

For that whistle thing maybe they can ask Hypnos, the Greek God of Sleep, for help.

They already have Melinoe giving people nightmares so it isn't out of the realm of possibility they can have Hypnos put people to sleep.

 

The diversion to King Orin accepting Venturia's independence seems to be a non-sequitur. What does that have to do with why dream magic isn't studied in Atlantis?

 

OL asked them to help him with studying the Dreaming and how it connects to the material universe and the magic in it, so they probably know at least a bit more compared to the rest of Atlantis when it comes to the Dreaming.

 

Atlantis no longer has enough free magicians to study other things. That's part of what opening Venturia is about.

 

They’re all gonna die and Paul isn’t gonna be there to save them is he?

 

Thank you, corrected.

To be grudgingly fair, I'm mostly familiar with the early access version, which ignored bases for working out how close models were to each other and didn't have point values. I could have lived with Sigmarines, but I'm still not happy about regiments and defensive WS being done away with.

 

Not necessarily.

The Sivanas have been preparing for the Sheeda, so they most likely have all sorts of defences set up, and they probably have a communicator to call in Paul.

 

So. Odds that Georgia's going to show up as a hottie to rival her sister? It sounded like she was on the fence for a while and the last talk with MC swayed her.
