very cool 👍

DIGITAL CIRCUS IS A HAPPY COMPLICATED FAMILY

I HAD THIS SAVED HELL YEAH GIRL (⁠*⁠＾⁠3⁠＾⁠)⁠/⁠～⁠♡

So in a Dispatch x DC crossover, it's not like he'd sue Sonar for copyright infringement or anything — he has a completely unique name, and didn't choose his powers. But I think Batman would feel uncomfortable about — especially a criminal — bat man, going around and compromising his reputation.

Even once Sonar joins SDN, well now he's a superhero, like Batman (but still causing problems). There's more similarity and confusion to arise, and Batman's still catching strays over Sonar's actions.

On the other hand, Batman is a vigilante who operates outside the law, so I could see people praising Sonar while condemning him, because Sonar works with a legal superhero service with reporting, boundaries, and oversight, which is what Batman should be doing.

Vox and Val both get their own independent toxic codependent hatelove dynamics, why shouldn’t Vel? I am all for my PolyVees, and Velmilla is well-known and loved, but we need something worse, something on par with Valangel and Radiostatic in terms of sheer psychological struggle yet entirely unique and, above all, Yuri.

Enter Fallen!Lute. Blinded by rage and grief strong enough to betray everything but her heart. Plummeting to Hell with nothing but internalized biphobia and her gorgeous wings— oh, never mind, one got snagged on a rooftop :) surely nothing bad will happen to a bleeding, manic fallen angel with one tattered wing and severely misplaced fealty landing right in the middle of the Vees’ territory!

I’m sure Vox spots her first, but Val and Vel will swoop— Vel’s just in it for that wing, initially, but when she sees her… what a beautiful, broken thing. More human than Vel could ever be and yet tearing at her own skin to rid herself of the agony that is such all-consuming feeling. A captive angel. No doubt they’ll each have their plans for her (and more than a few should include muzzling her foaming rage of blasphemies and damnation), but truly I think Velvette could appreciate her most of all, and while I want to explore this AU much more than I can in this post, I’ll lay these facts out for all of your considerations:

Velvette needs to be adored. She has a princess complex through and through, and who better to cater to her than a woman whose entire identity is to serve? A guard dog with a one-track mind, Velvette could never want for more.

Lute is incredibly, incredibly sick. Repression and trauma and a myriad of psychological complexes entirely surrounding the idea of a man so utterly Capital S Shitty. She needs someone to work through this, but I doubt any group therapy sessions could work it out of her well enough, especially not when we have Miss Manipulation, Algorithms, Deepest Secrets Exposed on the case. Not to mention how much repression can be violently fixed by the sheer existence of Valentino, and whatever nonmonogamous QPR nonsense Vel gets up to all the time. It doesn’t mean Lute has any “competition” for her heart.

They both have a need for approval and self-image issues to the Extreme. Lute wants to project the image of devotion onto Vel, Vel wants to project the image of adoration. They need to be beautiful— physically or spiritually, it doesn’t matter. Always performing for someone else’s approval. Mourning humanity vs. wanting to shed it more than anything. Lute needs to indulge, to become messy and selfish, and what better way to do so than the wonderful realm of social media? Velvette needs to be adored, to be told she is enough, to be taken care of, and who better to do that than the Lieutenant of Heaven herself?

The ugliest, messiest sexual tension you’ve ever seen. A ragingly repressed homophobe, a selfish scathing no-nonsense bitch. Lute needs to imagine Adam, she also needs to fuck Vel into next week. Guard dog for her pleasure but also Velvette showing her pleasure that she could’ve never imagined. Stone top x pillow princess, but Vel’s fully in control. There’s also of course Actual Murder Attempts, during sex and outside of it, because would they be the Vees without it?

Are you telling me staticmoth situationship hinged on Val being more effeminate and letting vox top so Vox could rationalize that it’s not that gay because he’s the man in the relationship
