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

[Rebu]

"What, this?" He hold up the now dull helmet. "Smart metal canister. It's only really designed for armor maintenance, not rebuilding the whole thing, but I figure it's better than nothing. You think it looks like a helmet?"

I'm rather fond of the classic gag of "explain obvious game mechanics in a semi-rational way".

As long as it stays a gag, and not something like a certainFanFiction explaining that those cover Shields in XCOM actually are augmented reality overlays in universe.

Which would be really distracting to the soldiers. Maybe if it was something they could call up upon request.

And that was integrated with a really contrived "new guy explanation".

 

[GigaVanguard]

Alright. "I command you to rise."

Fair warning, that was brutal. I did learn that I hold my phone way too close to my face though. Silver linings and all that.

The link somehow automatically opened and started playing for me as I scrolled past it. I didn't lift my thumb or anything as I was scrolling so I don't know how that happened. Good thing there's the solid 8 seconds of the epilepsy disclaimer at the start of the video.

Plus I doubt he'd be interested in hooking up with a violent sociopath.

I mean, he hooked up with her mother. He might prefer an open nutter.

'teach her how', I believe

Thank you, corrected.

I'm not entirely sure Knockout can really participate in a romantic relationship. A purely physical one, maybe, but being Apokaliptian, such a positive emotion would be hard for her to understand.

She managed a long term relationship with Scandal in the comics.

Scandal isn't exactly normal, while Persuaders dad is relatively normal.

 

[Neruz]

Persuader be like "HASSAN CHOP!" in godspeech.

Liana Kerzner was normalish.

Iname is still blushing as we finally reach the outskirts of the crater. Persuader hasn't quite worked out what Iname offered, and I don't think that she's even got an approximate idea. Probably because it's so contrary to our current relationship.

Click to shrink...

Earlier in this arc Persuader seemed to assume their relationship was a paternal one (the "complain to your Dad" remark) and now we have Grayven talking about "contrary to our current relationship", so that seems to be their opinion. What I see in the story though?

Iname consistently addresses Grayven as "Master" and blushes in pleasure when he pats her on the head or otherwise shows signs of approval. I don't think she's interested in him in a romance-of-equals sense, but I think she absolutely would fuck him if he seemed interested in that sort of thing. Which he's not, so she's happy enough to just fawn on him and search for his approval in other ways.

"Given Apokoliptian attitudes towards carnality, it wouldn't be that unusual for two people in your position to be…"

Something like that, which ironically Grayven himself brings up just a few paragraphs later.

I'm actually not sure if I'm supposed to take it as Grayven is right and I was misled, or that Grayven is wrong and this is typical Paul-SI being a bit blind to relationships.

"Uuuuh, no. Knockout is working for me because Granny Goodness told her to. She's still loyal to my father, she just doesn't bother considering the idea that I might not be. If I teach her how to be even a little creative, she'd probably notice that."

Click to shrink...

What, he doesn't like his odds of stealing Knockout's loyalty away from Darkseid? Or maybe he thinks she's too evil to want to bother, since he'd have to dispose of her in the end anyway?

I find it amusing that Persuader is so unused to using Godspeech that her attempts come out as mundane phrases compared to what New Gods are generally capable of.

"You Missed" seems like progress on that front, TBH. Maybe soon she'll uprgade to "Best Not Miss".

Incidentally, what do people do to make godspeech visible on dark themes? I've used custom CSS on desktop but I mostly read on mobile Firefox and right now the best I've got is "read aloud", which shows the text it's about to read unformatted.

 

[Duke Long]

"Yes, Chrysalis, you're fake too. What's the point of this?"

"We're all people you killed unjustly."

Click to shrink...

Interesting that it seems to have come around on the position of whether Grayven and Grayven are the same person. Though perhaps it is merely humouring him in the vague hope that this will be more effective for guilt-inducement or whatever it's trying to do.
