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

I assume that Dong was someone hitting Pauls head and it's ringing like a bell

Also, is there even one paralel Paul that got together with a dude?

 

The joy of investigating something that happened a long time ago. Especially in a world that has forgotten so much of that time. It's like modern archaeologists trying to piece together daily life in ancient Egypt from wall decorations and tomb-wards.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

If there's one fashion trend in Eternia I approve of, it's the 'active ladies wear leotards.' Woof.

And coincidentally arching her back and pushing her chest out? Yes, one guess what she's trying on Lantern.

At least he won't be thinking with 'Little Blok' this time.

Yes, I rather think you've burnt any hope of reconciling with him.

...With his face melting off? That'd take some focus and control.

And a jumpstart from your magic. Though you only really played the role of 'starter motor'...

And such an... Impressive face it is. Still a better interpretation that the toy version at the top of that page. Yow.

Or it was simply too damaged to put back together. You see his lips sliding off his mouth there, after all.

No neck either, you'll note. Wonder if the top of his torso has exposed flesh there, or is it a smooth lump with a hole for air and food to pass down?

...I don't think you quite have the bone structure for that look, dear.

Entirely natural regret to have, especially since you were beaten by someone not using magic.

He remembers that much from the eighties, I take it. Since he would have no knowledge of the Noughties version.

And quite a motley and distinctive crew they are, for sure.

Limited numbers of disposable troops? Management issues? Obscure rules enforced by cosmic entities?

Heh. He evidently hasn't been gone that long, if she still tends to refer to him in present tense... And if he's some kind of undead, there's no guarantee he's truly killable.

The lady does have a taste for powerful men, doesn't she?

And it did seem to work quite well for him, barring the occasional old-fashioned idiot trying their hand at rebellion.

Make the world better than it is. Which is a common theme amongst Orange-Ringed Pauls, I've noticed.

It's badass? I mean, he wears an obvious weakness on his face, yet rarely does anyone manage to hurt him...

Oh, no, it's even better than merely 'Trydor'. The Classic series of toys named him thus: Trydor Esooniux Scope. Imagine the childhood bullying.

...They'll hand you what you ask for, and thank you for the privilege of doing so. Perfect way to use people's own avarice for the better.

Because Skeletor thought small. Sure, he dreamed big, but he wanted everything on a platter immediately. To become truly powerful takes time. He always sought out shortcuts, ones which had big drawbacks that would bite him in the ass.

An alarm bell? Or merely the sound of Lantern's erection hitting the table?

Oh, this is not going to encourage the Sorceress to take another night off anytime soon. Lantern had better not let Grayskull get invaded on his watch, or he'll never hear the end of it. On the upside, he has a lot more options for dealing with intruders than the Sorceress does, between a Power Ring and a hopefully friendly ally. It'll be interesting to see how Evelyn responds...

 

I can't tell if OL is being dense or obtuse.

 

Deliberately obtuse, i would think? He's busy with important research, after all...

 

Sorry, sorry... I try not to interrupt anybody with my massive dong.

Please, continue what you were saying!

 

Ah, the Doom Bell rings! And I doubt a new Heterodyne just arrived on planet.

This is Paul we're talking about here. Neutron stars wish they were as dense...

 

It seems obvious that Paul and Evelyn are interested in each other, I don't know what that sound at the end was, keep in mind that I haven't seen the entire show, but I do like that you kept Adora and what Paul's plans are. What other alternates are you going to create? Heroes of Might and Magic? Dragon Age? Mass Effect? Witcher? Skullduggery Pleasant? Star Wars? Also, will Paol from warhammer fantasy have to deal with the events from the total war games like the comet or Ursun being held captive? If so I see his mindset making negotiating with the dragons of Grand Cathay easier than most. Sorry about having so many questions all at once but I am curious.

 

The last person she seduced early got set on fire. Also, as stated, he's in a position of mystically-enforced authority over her.

No.

No.

No.

No.

What?

No.

The Cathay from the game doesn't exist, since it contradicts existing lore and the themes of the setting.

 

That's not an explosion. I was expecting an explosion. I'm looking forward to seeing where this is going!

"in", I think.

 

The incredibly minimal lore? There's already more written for this version than for all prior descriptions of Cathay put together. Like the old French Revolution version of Bretonnia, it's retconned because the old version didn't work. Themes is a more valid point, but I don't see how it's a problem there.

 

What are the chances of Evelyn betraying Paul mid conflict? Are the magical bindings guaranteed to prevent that?

 

Psst, that was Mr Zoat for "They are too powerful and my SI wouldn't be able to just walk all over them.".

 

Good point, he really should be cautious but I don't see it as an impossibility

Pity but OK

Alright

Surprising but alright

Very well

It's an urban fantasy book series about a skeleton detective and his partner as they solve some mysteries and save the world, multiple times. Said detective is flamboyant egotistical dapper gentleman and very funny.

Missed opportunity in my opinion but your decision

Oh well, you're the boss but is there anything from the games you will include?

 

Thank you, corrected.

Warhammer dragons are animals. They can't talk or use magic. That's a fairly big departure.

It would be very difficult for her to betray him. Not completely impossible, but very difficult.

I don't like any of the new stuff, and don't remember the old Star Wars books I read in my youth well enough to use those.

...

No. Nothing. We're in the build up to Storm of Chaos.

 

So she would have either had to have been preparing for a good chance to do it for a while now, and would have to decide that it's worth it to cut a deal with the attackers, or planned for something to happen that day, and been preparing specifically for it. Quite hard to do any of that when she is likely being watched and having her actions, intentions, and loyalties questioned semi regularly.

 

She would have to create a shell personality without using magic, and hope that Teela Na was careless for months at a time and have plan which gave her no way to receive instructions and didn't require her to attack any Eternian.

 

Wrong, that's literally stated to just be the common view of Warhammer Dragons.

 

Umm... I'm not sure precisely which part says it's a common view of dragons, but since at least 2005's Old World Bestiary for 2nd Edition Fantasy Roleplay, they could talk (Quote at the start and reference 2c). Although IDK if there's anything earlier and given Storm of chaos is before 2005 it might not have been made canon from before the cutoff point Zoats using?

(Responding to Vaermina)

 

Ironically that very book.

Each creature entry has two to three different viewpoints of quotes about the creature in question. "Common View", "The Scholars Eye", and for sentient creatures "Our Own Words".

 

Wait, by "that very book" are you referring to the bestiary that I used as a reference or storm of chaos?

Given how you're talking I'd assume the Beastiary but that wouldn't make sense as an argument.

(responding to Vaermina)

 

The Bestiary.

Contrary to what Mr Zoat might like to claim, there isn't actually any retconning in Warhammer. What there is, is a boatload of unreliable narrators.

 

I haven't gone through everything in the Legends Timeline either but I agree that it is much better than Disney's works in general, while it did a good job in some cases it failed too badly in others. I'm sure if you were too look you would find videos or articles like wiki pages that might jog your memories like Luke's wife and son but while I am holding out hope it is still your decision.

 

Ok, that might work for in canon or in story reasons but that isn't literally true IRL.

Unless you genuinely believe that Warhammer exists IRL either in this 'world' or another.

(responding to Vaermina)

 

Unreliable narrators is also the reason GW has given for any narrative inconsistencies.

 

I wonder what a version of OL that landed in the DCU of the recent Harley Quinn series would be like.

 

Star Wars Legends has way too many dumb elements and terrible writing to be of actual use as a basis of a serious story.

I would keep what was written by Timothy Zahn and stuff from the x-wing series, and trash pretty much anything else.

 

I suggest doing what Star Wars Fate Denied did and just cherry picking the parts that you like and that you can work with to create a version of canon that works for your story.

 

In 5th edition, the death of a dragon's rider resulted in a role on the Monster Reaction Table, to see how the dumb animal reacted to the death of it's master/mother figure.
