accretion disk of hyperfixations

mobius is essentially a fucking brainwashed cult member when we meet him. brainwashed in the most literal sense.

he has a job to do. the job is interrogate loki for info.

if he doesn't do the job loki gets FUCKING PRUNED

he saves loki

he does the job

he does it as kindly and gently as he possibly can under the circumstances

despite the brainwashing he shows loki warmth and compassion and humanity when literally every single other person in the TVA treats variants as subhuman

loki is a mass-murderer who tried to commit genocide on the jotuns. he ripped out a guy's eyeball and smiled while he did it. he's genuinely a bad and dangerous person at the start of the show. regardless of his sympathetic backstory, he's done a fuck ton of harm and hurt a lot of people.

if mobius doesn't get through to him loki gets pruned

if mobius doesn't get through to him more minutemen die

mobius does what he needs to do to get through to loki by confronting him with the awful stuff he's done. he shows loki the consequences of his own actions. and he does it with compassion and as much gentleness as he can possibly show without making excuses for him

reiterating that mobius is BRAINWASHED at the time

the reverent way he talks about the timekeepers? brainwashed. the utter assurance in his voice as he tells loki about what he believes? brainwashed. 'untangling the infinite branches of the epilogue' that's something he learned by rote. brainwashed.

in conclusion if u talk shit about mobius then get blocked

I had so much fun with these, you have no idea — so I’m still open for more atla requests

He wants to demonstrate to the class how this thing called electricity works, so he's going to be bringing in a Firebender, so everybody be cool, we're all friends here... and in walks Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. One-time conqueror of the city. One of the students is currently writing an essay on how her brief rule of the city affected fruit trade. She says she considers the class to still be her subjects as she doesn't acknowledge any pretenders to any of her thrones, but for now you're exempted from bowing and "Your Highness" will do. It's a really interesting lecture.

"Okay, guys - hey, listen up, everyone - I won't be here next week, me and Aang are going to-" yeah right, sure, Professor Sokka knows the Avatar. Except, of course, the Avatar walks in sheepishly and says that Appa might have gotten into Sokka's hybrid crops, and then you all have to sit there and watch your professor chase the Avatar around with a sword.

One postgrad student is specializing in Water Tribe Cultures. She's currently studying the massive cultural shift that happened in the Northern Water Tribe at the end of the war - oh, and Professor, I absolutely know that you're from the Southern Water Tribe, but it's just that the shift started with Master Katara, and of course I don't think that every person from the South knows one another haha it's just that I need to ask her some questions and I thought maybe you could help me write a letter or write a letter of introduction or...

Sokka looks at her blankly and goes "yeah, she's my sister. KATARA!" which is followed by a faint answering "fuck you!" from Somewhere and to the horror/elation of our postgrad, Master Katara bursts in and is promptly beaned in the head with a rock by Professor Sokka. Her brother. her hero and her professor are siblings and currently brawling on the floor.

Tim: Uncalled for-I was doing him a favor. A favor. I didn’t have to organize the Batcomputer for him-

Dick: *clearly not listening* Mhm. Yeah. ‘ts fucked up.

Tim: *fuming* Doesn’t matter-I’ll show him.

Dick: Wait-*pauses* What are you talking about?

Tim: The contingency plan Batman has for me! You haven’t been listening.

Dick: *defensive* Hey! I’ve been trailing the corrupt police officer. Something that you’re suppose to be helping me with.

Tim: *whining* But he hurt my feelings.

*comm line pings*

Jason: What’s up? The kid and I are getting tacos. Who’s down?

Dick: Uh-Give us like 20? We’re on that corrupt cop case B wanted us to handle. He’s current-oh. He’s fucking terrible. I just watched him not tip that waitress.

Damian: Prior to this exchange, he was still terrible, Grayson. The morgue filled with missing appendages is evidence enough.

Dick: Yeah but it’s common fucking sense to tip waitresses. They go through enough-

Tim: *groaning and smacking his head on the rooftop railing*

Jason: Tim-The fuck’s up with you?

Dick: Ignore him. He’s just upset that he discovered B’s contingency plan for him.

Tim: He called me the least skillful fighter. Like- LIKE it's my fault that I had the most stable childhood out of all his kids.

Damian: *snickering* You did begin your training rather late in life.

Tim: I WAS 13, DIPSHIT.

Jason: *laughing* B got one thing right. Thank Fuck. Sometimes I love that old geezer.

Tim: *irritated* You’re agreeing? The one time you finally agree with him and it’s this shit!

Jason: Damian beat the shit outta you when he first came from the desert and he was like 10. I tracked your ass to the Titan Tower and when I caught you, you were so thrown off that you said-mid beating by the way- ' wait wait a second, hold on!'

Dick: *holding back a giggle* Not helping, Hood. Come on-B wrote down many of your wonderful qualities. *irritated* He called me emotional in mine.

Damian: *mumbling* Two points goes to Father.

Jason: My God-Why don't you just ask Bruce to change it or what he fucking means by it? I want tacos already.

Tim: I- *pauses*

Damian: You didn't think to do so, did you?

Tim: *defensive* I was busy-

Jason: *interrupting* Busy moping. You just wanted to complain and gatekeep food from us. I'll fucking shoot you.

Dick: *laughing* It's okay, Timmy. I'll get you some tacos, that'll cheer you up. *swatting noises* Look look-He's exchanging something with that creepy man dressed in black.

Jason: *wheezing* THE PASTOR? THAT’S A FUCKING PASTOR-

Dick: No! It’s- *wheezing* I can’t see for shit, I’m going to Hell.

Tim: For fuck’s sake. Whenever these two hop on the comm lines, they’re always giggling. They can’t ever be serious.

Damian: Out of sheer curiosity rather than desperation like Drake over there-

Tim: *sarcastically* Thank you.

Damian: Don't mention it. I have no interest in reading my contingency plan; however, if Father needed to incapacitate us, how do you think he would do so?

Tim: He wouldn’t be able to. We’re all very different from him with a wide range of abilities and thinking patterns. Even though we trained under him, I don’t think he can force us down.

*silence*

Damian: Well…I was going to say Drake’s immunocompromised; therefore, Father could simply surround him with petri dishes of Influenza B and the common cold.

Dick and Jason: *cackling*

Tim: You’re an asshole. Genuinely. I give you the nicest compliment and your takeaway is ‘ Tim’s disabled, let the man sneeze on him.’

Jason: I know you have this weird idolized idea of our family like we’re invincible but you realize that even with all my trainings, I lost to a man with a crow bar, right? Like-Like that was actually kinda fucking embarrassing.

Damian: *cackling* Back in the League, Akhi would lovingly tell me the events of his demise like a bedtime story. He would become frustrated and storm out.

Dick:*concerned* So we’re too good for Goodnight Moon all of a sudden?

Tim: I think Dick would have a good fighting chance. He’s the eldest, he has rapport with B and knows him like the back of his hand.

Dick: Oh hell no. I’m human. Shoot me with a fucking gun. I didn’t think I’d have to spell that out for you.

Tim: *desperate* Damian?

Dick: I see it. I think Damian could take down Bruce. But not physically. I just think in like an emotional breakdown type of way. Psychological warfare.

Jason: Did I-*wheezing* Damian stole the ashes of Bruce’s parents last week.

Dick: *crying weeping*

Jason: You know-Genograms? *wheezing* He had to make one for school and the teacher was like ‘ Yeah you guys can bring in photos and shit of your grandparents, little knick knacks.”

Tim: *horrified but laughing* No. Don’t tell me. Why?!

Damian: *grinning audibly* There were no specific instructions.

Jason: Bruce called me after Damian was sent home cause he brought in dead people and was like ‘ Jason, what the fuck did they teach this kid in the League?’

Dick: *laughing* Does that give you an answer, Tim?

DELVEREAM is an au that has a dreamlike, warm aesthetic that focuses more on the mind itself whilst still keeping some of the canon story!

The au itself is still a huge wip, lotsa things that haven't been worked on yet.

The only almost fleshed out character is Tenna! Second is Spamton [ a spamtenna artist's priorities 😭 ]

Darkners are now called Fantasies! [ though I might change it since it just doesn't feel right. ]

They now have another variant called nightmarers, basically corrupted fantasies that are twisted and lost their spark. Their colours turning from a once warm and pleasing palette to a dark, dull colour.

Each Fantasy represents a characters desires, or small wants. Just like a fantasy? [ what am I saying ]

e.g. Tenna is Kris's desire to go back to how it used to be and to ignore everything that's happening on the outside, and just have fun.

Fantasies can be influenced by the people around them! Mostly those who interact with them the most in the light world.

Dark worlds are now dreams worlds, still taking place in the same places tho.

Thinking of some concepts that aren't from the og game but I'm just way too shy to share them rn oughchchns.
