Thank you @chic-beyond-the-wall-oc-acct , @sikudastoner , @ashblooddragons for the tags.

Flower: Geranium [Means - Gentility, determination; (archaic) folly; confidence; deceit, preference] (I feel the meaning fits him)

Weather: Thunderstorm with a tornado (He is temperamental and can leave devastation)

Color: Plum (It's a mixture of purple and red)

Food: A buffet (He's a little bit of everything that it might be possible for people to find one good thing about him)

Beverage: Monster Energy drinks (Idk why but he just exudes energy drink...energy)

Animal: Crocodile (He has the "dead eye" stare and has learned to be very patient to get what he desires)

Place: In the clouds (He feels most at peace astride his dragon in the sky among the clouds and serene feeling)

Object: War hammer (Blunt but with a sharpness. He uses brute force but will slash and stab if he must)

That’s a really good question. I thought about this one for some time, and I think the conclusion for me personally is that the connection between Bruce Wayne and Batman as personas is complete. Neither one feels like a mask to him, he slides into one and out of the other. The moments where he’s briefly holding both (like in the Cave with Alfred, stealing the drive, etc) is closer to his true self than a lot of other depictions get.

His motivation is much clearer in the DCEU as well. His ongoing trauma doesn’t stem solely from his parents’ death and is wrapped up in decades of crime fighting and losing his one and only Robin. He is so clearly grieving, but he has made it into an art form. Without Lex’s meddling, he likely would’ve gone on until someone killed him.

Physically I think Affleck is also more compelling. He was the first Bruce I saw in live action who married a lot of discrete qualities: being intimidating, having an almost delicate face with high cheekbones etc, and the acting chops to pull off the many different subtle expressions needed for a Bruce in crisis.

I think his focus on hope came naturally, even with the Martha debacle. He was terrifying! But then when he set his mind toward redemption, I believed it whole heartedly. He was achingly kind to victims of the Metropolis attack (Black Zero) and was burning money trying to help. He was always hopeful, in a way. That people could still be okay. Eventually.

He’s also very alone. Not necessarily always by choice. Robin is gone. He’s close enough with Alfred to make him tea and joke about being the servant instead of the other way around. He sleeps with people and then wakes up and takes his meds with a swig of priceless wine. He’s isolated himself in the lake house and left Wayne Manor to ruins. But he still returns to the mausoleum with flowers (at least, he does in his dreams).

He is very grim without being entirely hopeless. He’s hurt and grieving. He helps in both masks but hates that he can’t do more. He goes through the motions because Alfred asks him to. He is, despite being totally unrelatable, very relatable.

I think it’s also very poetic that when Bruce falls into darkness, Clark is the one in the light, carrying hope. And when Clark loses faith in himself after his death and questions his place in the world and as the last Kryptonian, Bruce is the one to lead him forward with the Justice League.

It’s very them. And maybe that’s what we like most, other than the pretty GIFs and gorgeous shots from Snyder…that even a grim version of Bruce like this can dance along the edge of hope anyway.

“My parents taught me a different lesson…dying in the gutter for nothing at all. They taught me the world only makes sense when you force it to.”

Since Bruce delivers that line while KOing Superman, it loses some of its depth, but it’s still a gunshot of a line. And it’s not only about darkness! It could go either way — that he can create hope and change for others by forcing it with all of his strength and resources, and the impossibility of ever fully achieving that, or that making sense of his own grief and tragedy comes down to wanting to control the things he absolutely cannot control, and that his track record in Gotham has made that very, very true. He can’t control them. He can’t control what happened to him, or to Robin. But he will die trying to.

I liked Bale and I thought he was decent, but he doesn’t have the magnetism Affleck has in my eyes. He was a good Bruce Wayne but never fully bridged over into Batman without discomfort. And when he did, Batman was “real” and Bruce Wayne was the “mask.” We see Alfred try to convince him of the opposite, but he doesn’t listen. So to me, he’s not as fully realized as Affleck is after decades of fighting. He doesn’t have that slip-slide-truth between Batman and Bruce Wayne. He is a desperate, broken Bruce Wayne clinging to Batman like a life raft.

6, 7, 14, 11, 16

took me a second to write the whole thing but thank you so much for being curious about these guys!! love them missed them fr

6. Something they are better at than they think? Something they are worse at?

mad jack does not realize how abysmal his advice often is. he will just say shit.

cisneros grew up with dogs and is very good with them, so he thinks that extends to all animals. the animals do not agree with that statement.

macfoy really downplays his cooking skills but he can hold his own in the kitchen.

lady thinks she can lip read conversations from afar, and will often attempt to do so when they are observing an interaction. she is often very wrong.

manny doesn't trust his own socialization skills, but he is fantastic at playing cards and has earned a lot of both social credit and money from betting among the company.

7. How much do they curse?

they all curse like sailors. if we put them in order from most to least it's macfoy, cisneros, lady, mad jack, manny, but that difference is minimal.

14. Do they have/want tattoos?

none of them have any tattoos at the height of their activity; macfoy gets a tattoo of his daughter's handwriting as soon as she learns to write.

11. Are they spiritual or religious?

most notably, lady is jewish; she is fairly spiritual in that sense and keeps her family's culture and tratitions, even if not orthodox or strict.

macfoy, cisneros, and manny grew up catholic; as opposed to the other two, who keep "going to church on sunday" as a family thing, macfoy still has a personal connection/believes in god but is not particularly attached to religious structure (thus his + lady's kid nana grows up exposed to both parents' religions, but ends up a very cynical atheist). cisneros does not actively practice but his wife is catholic and they had a religious marriage after the war.

mad jack's family was very waspy but he is casually an atheist with how much he does not really care.

16. Do they have scars or other physical injuries?

First of all thank you for asking!!! I love everytime I receive an ask from you. :)

Issa's real name is Issandra Naor, and yes you might find this name familiar and that's because Issa is Luce's biological elder sister. Thus making her Princess of Solaris and Crown Princess of their empire.

When Solaris was destroyed, Issa's and Luce's mother, Queen Selene managed to get them out of the planet before Thanos could reach to them. Luce's pod landed in Terra. While Issa's landed in Hala, who was the place they were supposed to land because the krees were part of the Solaris empire before they themselves became one.

Issa was found by Mar-Vell and even though she was raised with the respect her title as Princess of Solaris granted her, the Kree became bored of her as soon they realized she was a Hollow. This in Solaris term is a person that is born without strong inner energy (or that takes a more harsher training to channel it, and even with that they may not be able to awaken it). So the Kree found her useless when she did not posses the light powers like her family claimed to have. Issa was adopted by Mar-Vell and changed her name, because Thanos was still looking for the remainings of the Naor Family and something that he needed for his plans.

Since I want to explore this concept of Hollow I'm still not sure if Issa is going to have powers, though she would still have Solarian physiology, and be super strong, fast, superhuman durability, stamina and etc.

Issa accompanied Mar-Vell to Terra when she eventually went there for her investigations, so that's how Issa and Carol met, and they were vastly attracted to each other. Issa was very straightforward with her advances and Carol, even though she was taken back by how direct she was (remember this was during the late 80s), she found it hot and freeing that Issa didn't care about what people would say. So when the incident happened, they were in an strong relationship, although they were still some secrets within them as Issa never told Carol about her origins. (Communication is honestly a big problem in their relationship, even after Carol is back)

Another reason for Issa to go to Terra was because she finally found out were Luce's pod could have landed and Issa wanted to find her sister because it was the last remaining biological family, but also because Issa wanted to take back what belonged to them. Solaris at this point was being ruled by another person, a woman named Belladonna, who was anything like their father, King Helia, advocated for. So Issa wanted to go back to her home planet but she couldn't do it alone, less if she is a Hollow because she wouldn't be strong enough and also because in Solaris's society hollows are treated even worse than slaves.

When Issa finally meet with Luce she presents this to her, but Luce says no. That she won't go. And that make them being stranded, even more so when Issa realizes that Luce has powers, more less, light energy, which was something that for generations their family had to pretend to still have to maintain power, as they self-proclaimed to be descendants of the Sun God of Solaris. But Issa is still around, because after Mar-Vell's and Carol's death, she was left with nothing, except her sister and her family.

Alister Sharpe, my insecure prettyboy, is an OC that I've cooked up for Nia ( @weltsarchives ) and her universe for Broken Bonds as part of her team of new X-Men:

He's born into a wealthy family in Queens but got thrown out by his parents at sixteen, two years after his mutation manifested, because they were horrified and didn't want his mutation publicly staining their family name.

Forced to live on the streets of Queens, he joined a theft crew which used him for his mirror-based abilities. These mirror-based abilities are mirror walking (traveling through reflective surfaces) and mirror reflection (conjuring reflective shields that reflect attacks).

During this period, he spent long periods training and using his powers, which made him slowly weave a strange mirror-network with which he's able to "see" through all the reflective surfaces he's ever been to.

This mirror network attracts the Shadow King, who's feeding on the dark side of human consciousness, since every reflective surface contains a faint psychic imprint of the people who have looked into it. With Alister constantly moving through reflective surfaces, he began unconsciously collecting fragments of emotions, memories, and fears from strangers.

The Shadow King gains strength from psychological torment, despair, and the greed inherent in human nature. So to the Shadow King, Alister was essentially a walking network of emotions stretching across an entire city, and through him, the Shadow King could potentially observe thousands of minds without directly entering them, making Alister his tool which Alister needs to fight against.

Alister's different life situations shaped him into a bold and independent man that easily charms people with his personality, smile, and wit, though he doesn't let a lot of people in, keeping his private life to himself. However, there are a lot of hidden insecurities in him which he stores away under callousness. He's hardened over the years and can't shake off his rebellious and at times unethical side. Alister is also plagued by his greed and materialism, which are ways to hold on to his childhood, and the hurt of being rejected by his family.

Hi!! Thank you for the question and sorry it took me long to answer!!

Ok so, take into account that is been a while since I watched The Maze Runner, even more since I read the books, and I've forgotten some terminologies and names of the places. And also some of his plot is a little hazy in my mind, but I can give you some of the details. Maybe in the future i could give more insight when I watch the movies again.

• Gideon is in the Glade already when Thomas arrives. He actually has been there for a while, even longer than Newt and Minho.

• Gideon is well... he has a personality. He is judgemental, sarcastic, very serious incredibly arrogant and prideful. Basically when he says something is right is almost impossible to make him see other options or a brighter picture. He is also unwelcoming to strangers and hard to open up to others.

• So yeah, Gideon and Thomas don't exactly have the best relationship at first, it's even worse because Gideon doesn't like when his plans or schedules are changed, and yk a lot of things happened after Tommy (and later Teresa) arrived. But he's not openly aggressive with him like Gally is. He just ignores Tommy until he can't.

• Gideon also has a tactical and analytical mind, he is the one that took care of making the maps of the labyrinth and is part of the runners team (I can't remember it well but I think in my initial draft of him, he was the only glader that had survived a night in there, but he doesn't likes to talk about it, I don't know if I would change that in his current version)

• He is mostly inspired by Ty Blackthorn from the Shadowhunters Chronicles. Ty is in the autistic spectrum so Gideon is implied to be too, and maybe it gets confirmed during The Death Cure while he is in the Labs.

• There's only two persons that can make Gideon listen to them 1. Alby, who Gideon looks up to him and sees as an older brother and respect him, though that won't stop Gideon to talk back if he thinks Alby is not making a right decision, but you know he will be take the time to be more respectful and do it in private instead of in front of everyone.

• and 2 Newt, the only person that Gideon is not a complete asshole to, before they're together is painfully obvious that the they feel something for each other but it takes a while for them to act on their feelings, first because Gideon is just that dense and second because Newt is afraid that it would destroy their friendship (because at this point he doesn't know what Gideon is into, like all the other guys talk about girls, but Gideon had never made an statement of what he likes). But yeah, and like I said before PAINFULLY obvious, like even Tommy who hasn't been there for long realizes the first night. (I'm still not sure if at this point they've sorted their feelings but I still think that they wouldn't be very pda in front of the others, so for anyone else they would be seem as almost like normal friends).

• Gideon has a sister who is in the girls glade named Mia and they met in The Scorch Trials, when they're taken to the facility by Janson, who also presents himself as their uncle, and tries to manipulate them to be on his side. But Gideon fastly realizes that there's something wrong about this place and Janson, so they escape.

• Other random lore. Gideon and Mía were very close to Thomas and Teresa, and were part of the scientific team of WCKD, and of the project to find the cure. Being Gideon the first of them that volunteered to be put in the Maze. That's why during The Death Cure, he kind of pretends to be on their side and Teresa's, but in reality he's just making plans to escape with Minho until things get out of control and a lot of sad things happen at the end... :(

for now i can't wait to introduce nana and eddy (+ their tbd children

diana "nana" macfoy (fc eve best) is the kid of roger macfoy and irene "lady" wajnberg. she went into shield and became an experienced shield agent, so she probably was around for iron man, thor, captain america, main avengers situations — incredibly shocking for steve rogers to meet the adult daughter of his wartime friends. she is a lesbian, happily married to amalia gant (possible fc sophie okonedo) with three adopted children. i still don't have basically anything for her children but they will be back when i mentally get to later/current mcu

edward "eddy" cisneros, youngest son of tony cisneros and his wife martha (he has an older sister, sandy, who is mostly peripheral and not a full oc), did not go into action and military operations — he is a novelist who writes mainly historical fiction, taking a lot of inspiration from the 105's stories. he had one massive best seller and it's been kinda downhill since. he has a son from a failed wedding that ended in a messy ass divorce with his ex-wife that might have been caused by the fact that he's gay and in denial.

iichliwp x ocs : nysa & darren + 1121 + the mother

hello! 

i’ll link to the main post i made but i’ve had an idea of another sister of ned for a while, originally thinking of how i could incorporate the boltons with the starks,  and while i still love that idea i have been pulled in a different direction as of late. 

basically i wanted theon to have a deeper connection to the starks through a relation, and see how this would complicate the plot in clash of kings as well as try and dip my toe into the more dark fairytale and magical side of westeros. and a way of exploring that is through the ironborn as they frequently travel to the stranger areas of essos, like ibben and qarth as well as the basilisk isles and naarth. so expect greensight, warging, shade of the evening, glass candles and more from this adventure, less politics more freaky magic.

i also get stuck on the quote “tywin ruled the realm but joanna ruled tywin” a lot because i can only think of the constant madness and fatigue of trying to navigate being married to a cruel tyrant. like aryn is a stark and raised with northern values, she is harsh but not cruel, yet on the iron islands she is navigating a culture that hates her, hates her people, cruelty is forefront and believes in taking slaves and having additional wives. she is smart and has supernatural help but bending through her morals, living with a family where one wrong move and she’s dead, takes it toll on her. she’s living on a knife’s edge for sixteen years.

aryn is also viewed as an almost martyr for westeros. she arguably loses the most of all those who survive, unlike cat and lysa who get to stay in westeros and can easily see their families, she is to either remain on pyke or visit sacked cities, but never her home. as well as being given the worst options of husbands, the evil brute, the evil manipulator and two teens, having to pick the arguably worst one, euron, because she believes its her best chance of survival. but that is not an easy choice made and when we meet aryn at the onset of two5k, she’s far different then the aryn ned knew as a child. 

the other key character is her son, darrion, who’s best comparison is paul atredies. take whatever you want from that. is she the lady jessica in this scenario? an alicent hightower looking to secure her own safety and future by any means? many questions to be discovered and answered. all i’m saying is when lady jessica, a foreign outsider, inserts paul, her son and source of her power, as the fremen’s messiah….much to think about.
