I read a lot. Currently interested in Nightwing (and Batman)&Invincible. Occasionally DadSon is fun in fandom; this is your only warning, but gen stuff is fluffy and good for the soul đ đ¤đâ¤ď¸ Also kind reminder to the interested minors: come back when youâre 18. đ
Mark felt dizzy, sure he was as pale and unattractive as a corpse. He had to at least try, right? See if he could sway any Viltrumite to their side. Any single Viltrumite was an asset.
You canât convince one of them. Theyâre murderers. Seduce though, maybe.
What happens when Mark uncovers Thragg's position in the Empire?
â
Or: Double seduction stalemate: strangers to lovers â> to enemies to lovers.

Also special shoutout to Tree and Otter who drew me (me?!) fanart! Iâm humbled. You two are too talented!!
Edit: Otter drew another one!! (Reading in bed)

About me:
I write fanfiction. I share a *lot* of Thragg art and Mark art.
I do absolutely share Nolagg, kregg + thragg, and conquest + Thragg because you guys have awesome artists. (and recently, other Viltrumites too!)
when nobody is invincible-ing on tumblr, you may see me fanning over Nightwing and Batman more. đ BruDick is a classic pairing, so if you donât like any mention of proship DadSon in any way, shape or form, this blog is not for you.

Thatâs a wrap on our Debissa journey! Hands down most fun Iâve had writing a fic, thank you so so much to @purplish-pen for your wonderful encouragement! đđđŠśđ¤
This is such a minor sticking point, but I feel a lot about it.
We are presented with this panel. Our conundrum is that Bruce, on account of civilian and Batman responsibilities, is only getting about four hours of sleep a night, and is suffering from it.
Lord help me, but this is so refreshing.
In the modern day, every character hasnât slept in three days and wonât for another two. Every character forgets to eat for two days at a time. Every character lives on coffee and spite because itâs so quirky and so cool to live in unlivable conditions, yet basic self care is also presented as optional because these characters do not experience any consequences from that lifestyle.
Somehow these characters never eat but never lose muscle mass or experience energy deficits. Somehow these characters never sleep but never experience significant detriments to their reasoning or awareness unless itâs directly plot relevant. They just get the aesthetic eyeshadow-looking eye bags and the assignment of âsleep-deprivedâ as a fun personality trait.
By contrast, four hours a night seems almost luxurious by modern Batman standards. Itâs almost human levels of sleep. And, because we acknowledge Bruce is human with human limitations, this still isnât enough to maintain his highly active lifestyle. A normal human needs 7-9 hours of rest a night. You cannot Main Character yourself out of nightly rest, especially with such an intense lifestyle, without consequences.
Honestly, I didnât realize how much I was driven up the wall by how modern comics treat self care (or lack thereof) until I read a more realistic expectation for human limits. Itâs not even that the plot is about exhaustion from Batman-related obligations. Weâve gotten those since. Itâs that the limitations presented are themselves grounded.
This isnât Bruce fainting after staying awake for two weeks straight. This is Bruce experiencing natural exhaustion from a lack of sleep that isnât overdramatic but is nonetheless insufficient for real people.
Going multiple days without food and rest and other basic necessities constantly, is not sustainable. Even four hours of sleep a night is still a deficit. You cannot maintain yourself on willpower alone.

The people of Earth had reason to doubt him; the other Invincibles had laid waste to cities. It would take time to win back their trust. Allen seemed to mistrust him because Thaedus said not to.
âYou were such a nice kid!â Allen protested earnestly. âYou were always so good. You just wanted to help, and you were right here, with us.â Allen thumped the nearest part of the ship. âAnd now? Whose side are you even on?â

âThragg cares about me. He listens to me.â Mark wanted it to be true.
Anissa sat up. She scoffed and met his gaze. âMore than the empire? More than duty?â
Mark didnât register his own movement until he was in her face. âWhy do you even have to be a race of monsters to begin with?!â

everybody keeps saying stuff like "haha wow show viltrumites an ounce of kindness and they instantly fold--yeah, cigarettes, babes, and bikes, kregg isn't missing viltrum at all" and like.
yeah, no SHIT. not just because viltrum was a spartan murder nightmare dedicated to strength above all. because that's not the viltrum these viltrumites lived on prior to its destruction.
thragg can claim otherwise all he wants--everything we've seen of the planet viltrum after the scourge virus tells you it is a tomb. a once great civilization turned to ash and dust overnight; a desolate wasteland made up of the decaying ruins of a great imperial capital. billions killed in the blink of an eye. suffering and dying at the hands of a threat you could not identify and could not stop.
every living viltrumite survived the scourge virus. they watched their population get smaller, and smaller, and smaller, while each of them suffered on the brink of death from the virus, believing they themselves would share the same fate.
and then, at the end of it all, there is nothing. your leader instructs you to attempt to rebuild your people by colonizing others. you are one of many forced to maintain the imperial holdings of the viltrum empire. you are the last gasp of your dying people; nearly everyone you knew and possibly loved is dead, and you have no home to return to. the location is still there, but it is not home.
the only thing viltrum still holds of significance is the ring containing billions of dead thrown into space by the remaining 50. as a reminder of your failure.
you don't get more demoralizing than that. every time you return home you have a constant reminder of the extinction of your race.
we've been watching details on the fall of viltrum mostly from the perspective of nolan, but that's what every single surviving viltrumite went through.
your people were a strong, proud, noble people, as much pain as you all caused each other, you brought order to the universe. then one day an unknown enemy strikes at you with a weapon you cannot fight against, destroying 99+% of your species, leaving you weak, ashamed, and lost. as far as you are concerned, things cannot be more dire. you have already been forced into extinction.
then, your leader, a man elected in lieu of a proper heir for your previous ruler, who united all of your people and created everything you fight for, comes up with a plan. he gives you hope. he says we can be pulled back to the greatness we once had.
you are forced into a war. a protracted conflict that is not in your favor, despite your leader's strong words of confidence. you are pushed back. powerful enemies deployed intelligently kill several of the few remaining.
you are losing again. all hope is lost.
your leader refuses to accept defeat, once more, despite knowing that the situation is not in your favor. he commands all of you to attack the most heavily fortified planet--their capital, where all decisions are made. you will finally employ your trump card--the mole stored in the council long ago.
and then, you lose. despite causing untold destruction to said capital, you are, in turn, pushed back, your imperial flagship is destroyed in seconds, and 2 more betrayers to your empire--making 3 in total, 3 fighters from your people of great prowess who make a notable shift in the progression of the fight. more of your ranks die.
you lose. you retreat.
not only did this decision cost you multiple more lives and much more damage than you anticipated, but they follow you home. they have the same idea, and decide to strike your capital. your leader foresees this, and bids you all to prepare an ambush. ah. this was his plan. genius, we can wipe them out all at once at our strongest, cornering them in our territory to win the war in one move.
it does not go as planned.
weapons specifically designed to kill you are employed, to great effect. you watch more and more bodies drop. the enemy puts up a much better fight than you expected, and while you kill none of them, they kill multiple of you in the ensuing conflict, which can't be great.
and then, your planet is destroyed right in front of your eyes.
the 3 betrayers, the only ones among your enemies who could, fly through the core of viltrum, and utterly destroy it.
you may kill all of them. thragg may be able to win the war now.
but what does any of it matter?
what does any of it matter anymore?
and then, you go to earth.
really think about that for a second, okay?
viltrum was a tomb. every living thing on viltrum was dead, save the few viltrumites who remain. you remember when it was the shining beacon of the empire; you remember when it was the greatest society in the galaxy. and you saw it wiped out before your eyes. you saw it decay. and then it was all you saw. that was the planet you called home the entire time you served the empire, prior to now. you fought for the hope that you could restore that greatness.
now, it's all gone. you can never restore viltrum, because viltrum does not exist. that is all that is left of your planet: death, destruction, decay, ruin. you remember when viltrum was the greatest nation in the entire universe. it is now rubble floating in the vacuum of space.
and then you go to earth.
earth, which, despite its flaws, has a remarkably beautiful, flourishing biosphere. earth, which, despite all the hatred and suffering of it, also houses all of the beauty, whimsy, and joy of human society. earth, that beautiful blue dot where love calls home.
no fucking shit they fold immediately. every viltrumite still fighting for the empire has a constantly increasing void of hopelessness surrounding their every act. when life on earth offers you a pleasant life of living and loving and life on viltrum offers you nothing but death and despair, it's not exactly a hard choice.
Debbie pointing out how Mark is miserable despite having a lot of sex could suggest he could use sex as a way to cope with the trauma (his momâs situational alcoholism also suggests addictive tendencies as a trauma response) of fighting Conquest.
This could be due in part to human recreational substances not working on Mark. While a lot of media uses substance abuse instead due to the stigma around sex, we need more representation of sex as a trauma response. Other notable rep cases are Fiona from Shameless and Mickey from Love (played by Atom Eveâs VA).
âWhat in the galaxy is going on in here!â Allenâs brassy voice was too loud. âYou blocked off the whole passageway. Do you have a girl in there?!â
Oh god, not this again.

Itâs here !! The guide for two-legged people who donât know how to draw wheelchairs !!!
7 pages of infodump !
Disclaimer : I donât know everything, I have one (1) experience of wheelchair user who used both bad and good chairs, and I share what I learned.
Image description :
1) Calvin in his wheelchair saying âyoâ under a huge title âhow to draw manual wheelchairs properly by Calvin Arium, a wheelchair user comic artistâ.
2) A character says âmy character self propels in a chair that was outdated in 1970 lolâ
Calvin says âso it looks like you two legged people donât know the difference between an hospital chair and a chair made to be independantâ
an arrow point the crapppy chair, saying âwe never want to see this againâ
a bubble says âthe hospital chair is extremely unpractical, tough considering itâs cheaper than a good custom chair a lot of us have only thisâ
3) a character hurt himself trying to reach the wheels of the hospital chair. Several arrows point why the chair is unpractical : âhigh backrest restrain shoulders movementâ âhuge armrest restrains wheel accessâ âseparated footrest : amovible, cheap, bulkyâ âx structure, foldable but heavyâ âhuge front casters for stabilityâ âheavy wheelsâ
4) Several arrows point an active wheelchair (the KSL by KĂźshall) : âusually no armrestâ âa low backrest allow more movementâ âlight, design, ferning expersiveâ âspecial cushion to avoind injuriesâ âknee angle is usually 90°â âone single piece of frame, sometimes entirely weldedâ âweight : from 4 to 10kgâ âoften rigidâ âcenter of the wheel is the center of gravityâ âhigher quality wheels : less spikesâ
5) A hand grab different parts of the wheel, pushing harder in the second half. Bubbles says âsome have gloves, some donât. The hand must grab the biggest area possible. Less movement = more energy. This is a common but not only way to push.Calvin is on his back wheels, rolling on grass and dirt
bubble says âpopping a wheelie is when a wheelchair user rolls on their back wheels to roll on every complicated surface.
6) several drawings illustrate the folding frame, the ergonomic but rigid and expensive backrest, the separated footrest (only for folding frame), the handles, the folding handles, athe amovibles handles, or no handles, the cool fancy loopwheels, the pretty custom colorsÂ
7) More Features ! The fancy rigid-foldable frame, the anti tippers (sometimes used by beginners), the motorization (wheels, smart drive) when propelling yourself is difficult
Calvin says âand now vroom vroom motherfuckersâ
Consider also supporting me by buying me a coffee on ko-fi : ko-fi.com/calvinariumÂ
Thanks !
EDIT : Here is a youtube playlist about choosing, cleaning and using active manual wheelchairs in the public space, I learned a lot from those videos when I was a wheelie newbie. (Not sure theyâre all captionned tho) https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3j9XB2x5HYmZqgLakRCNt_fjsVZjDAkJ
