Doom Patrol

Some Doom Patrol incorrect quotes that I made :] (pretty much all Larry and Rita oops-)

Larry: Do you take constructive criticism?

Rita: No, only cash or credit.

Larry: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I’ll wait.

Rita: You and me!

Larry: *tearing up* Ok.

Rita: So I got this amazing plan!

Larry: We fail almost every time you say that.

Rita: Well this is the same! But with a hamster involved.

Larry: I need life advice.

Rita, sipping Gatorade and eating cookie dough: You came to the right person.

Larry: You know I think my life has value.

Cliff: Who are you and what have you done with Larry?!

Cliff: Everybody shut up, I'm thinking.

Larry, patting them on the back: Well, don’t think too hard. I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself.

whoever was in charge of thinking up this crossover really galaxy brained

Just two girlie's prophesied to destroy the world.

When the space parasite that's stopped you from receiving any physical contact for over 50 years knocks you up before leaving.

Original meme:

Throwback to when I wrote, like, one chapter of a Doom Patrol/Stargirl fanfic before the finale episode for DP pissed me off so much I abondoned it.

Just found the original drafts so I might play around with it again. Idk.

"The toast screams every second of the day to be released from the confines of it's crunchy body so that it may once more wreak havoc upon the world."

So I'm working on finishing those three fanfics I started last semester. Kind of proud of this sentence. It needs some hammering out, but overall it captures the tone pretty much perfectly.

Well...fuck.

I guess these are the happy endings you get when the Monkey's Paw is feeling merciful today.

I guess I can't complain too much... but I really want to. :(

Hey guys? You know that image of Rama and Larry holding each other in a bright area? You know, the one we haven't seen yet in the show? You know how Negative Spirit 1 just told Larry he was going to be a sun? Do you remember that both Larry and Rama are destabilizing and are going to blow up? Do you guys know how sun's are made? You don't think for the series finally they would... do you?

So... next week is it, huh? What have we learned so far?

1. Jane and the other personalities are going to be okay.

2. Single parent Larry continues to get shit on from every possible angle. "How could you say something so cruel?" he asked Keeg 1, knowing full well the universe has always been against him.

3. Rita's probably not going to do anything.

4. Laura beating herself up was probably a good thing mentally? Idk.

5. Niles is dead. Hella dead. Never coming back. However, for better or for worse, he's always going to influence the team.

6. Who even knows what's going on with Cliff anymore. He's all over the place.

I don't count Cyborg because we always knew he was going to get through this.

Someone NEEDS to upload their music number to Tumblr. Pretty please?

I'm so normal about them

I take back everything I said. 104 and Larry's musical number is the cutest thing I've ever seen and therfore I love this episode. It's like a sequel to People Like Us, but he actually gets to sing and be happy!!

Also, the ending number was kinda sick.

Obligatory musical episode I see. Thanks Buffy for solidifying that for every show in existence. At least the cover for the theme sounds cool.

Not digging the Cassie/Jane thing going on though. I'm team Shelly all the way.

Just noticed that Mr. 104's shirt is decorated with the periodic table. What a dork.

Also, he and Larry are the cutest couple ever and if they don't get a happy ending, murder is an option. Why did he have to have such a cute laugh when Larry talked about him taking care of Keeg?!

DP X DOOM PATROL (DC)

SLIGHT Doom Patrol SPOILERS

I've been watching Doom Patrol lately and wow is it a fever dream.

A fucked up found family bumbling around and trying to be heroes? It just makes for some interesting dynamics with Danny having the most hero experience. There are so many ways to bring Danny Phantom into the Doom Patrol.

You could have Danny, Dani, and Jazz being hunted by the Bureau of Normalcy, and miraculously saved by Niles Caulder.

Or if you wanna go a more wholesome route, Danny the Street finds them and they gain a new sister in the form of Dorothy.

And then there's the dead boy detectives.

I love the batman crossovers as much as anyone but DC has so many more characters to explore.

I only know; Batman, Doc Ock, Matt Murdock, Mando and Moon Knight but the sentiment is still the same lol 😅

tbh

More appreciation for the doom patrol version of the dead boy detectives please, a bunch of people are getting into the comics because of the show but I haven’t seen dead patrol getting the love it deserves

!!

Ooh, now that we’ve seen N!Edwin and DP!Edwin talk about Feelings could we see the same with N!Charles and DP!Charles?

As simple as that.

Edwins version

ko-fi

is being really pretty a requirement to play those gay ghost boys or

Hi, can you draw a Doom Patrol!Payneland x Good Omens crossover?

I'm a little in love with the fact Ty Tennant is David Tennants kid

Crowley is thinking that little dead boys who travel between dimesions are way above the pay grade he doesn't have

ko-fi

finally got around to the dead boy detectives episode of doom patrol.

I absolutely love that Edwin Payne is a huge bitch in every continuity 🤣 MY BOY

I love how Larry saw Edwin and Charles and immediately went "these bitches gay. good for them"

Guys guys guys guys-

Doom Patrol Edwin Paine 🤝 DBD Edwin Payne

Oh I love how Edwin suffers no matter what series, really pay homage to his last name

underated part of the dead patrol episode is that edwin gets called “judgey harry potter” which is not only hilarious but also a lowkey accurate comparison

Do you think you can draw fem!Doom patrol Payneland? <3

Since the DBD ones are Charlotte and Edith, these shall be Charlie and Edwina(?)

Does anyone else specifically love Doom Patrol Charles and Edwin? I need a series specifically on their adventures and stories because they had such a lovely dynamic. I love the Netflix series as well but there's something about them in Doom Patrol that I particularly adore

Watched the one Doom Patrol episode with the dead boy detectives in it yesterday and I still can't get over their method for "astral projection". This version of Edwin has my heart.

Worldbuilding Practice Sample

So, a while ago I wrote some sample dialog for Injustice 2 interactions that will never happen, and I happen to have a great affection for DC characters in general. Unsatisfied as I am with the current state of affairs in DC, I got in the habit of writing little plots and ideas on the side, and after several years basically wound up composing my own version of the DC cosmos, an Earth-J, if you will.

This is a sample of the work I've done so far.

The Living Kingdoms

The Red -- Fauna Parliament: Limbs Representatives: Animal Masters, who can use either the physical or metaphysical aspects of animals as super powers. Much to the Red's chagrin, however, they can't manage to keep a champion like the Green's Swamp-Thing; their main choice, Bernhard Baker, doesn't really care.

Bernhard "Buddy, Animal Man" Baker Supposed Champion of the Red, much to his chagrin. Also much to the Red's chagrin, since he keeps not observing his duties. His power is to trade metaphysical qualities with animals via homologous and analogous structures. (i.e. he can give his arms the power of flight, because that's what birds do with those parts). Notes:  He occasionally has jam sessions with Garfield. Quotes: "You are a Champion of the Red! You bring fruition to thousands of years of prophecies!" "I AM A FAMILY MAN, FIRST!" -P.o.L. & Buddy Maxine Baker Even more powerful than Buddy, even less interested. She just likes her pretty animals. She thinks Tefé is awesome. Garfield “(Various)” Logan The Orphan, and Evolution-Master. Unloved by the Red and the Parliament of Limbs (individual members notwithstanding), Gar nonetheless wields impressive power and serves with the Doom Patrol (formerly with the Titans). Ironically, he gets along the best with the Green and its masters; there is some speculation that he may not even be totally wedded to the Red, given he has instantiated microscopic life, a distinctly Blue power. What significance this has remains currently unexplored. Mari "Vixen" McCabe The trickster. An Animal Master who received the Tantu Totem originally created by the malicious trickster god Ogo, and won it from him in a contest of wits.

Barbara Ann "Cheetah" Minerva Slave of Mafdet and enemy of Wonder Woman. Barbara lived a charmed life, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, charismatic, beautiful, enterprising, astonishingly lucky, but in her dissatisfaction grew to covet more. Inspired by Wonder Woman's godly power, she tried to steal Mafdet's Claw from an ancient pyramid to experiment on it and see if it had any divine power, which infuriated the goddess Mafdet, who punished her -- upon hearing the punishments for thievery was mutilation, flogging, or death by staking, Barbara chose the fourth option, penal servitude, and became Mafdet's executioner, the Cheetah, by having a portion of the Red injected into her. Now Barbara spends her time alternating between punishing the guilty for her goddess and conspiring to free herself. Notes: She has tried previously to rewrite her own body to shed her cheetah form, but analysis of her cells indicated she was still physiologically human, all evidence to the contrary.

Michael Payson "B'wana Beast" Maxwell

Dominic "Freedom Beast" Mndawe

Robert "Man-Bat" Langstrom

Ogo, Mafdet, and all other animal and animal-aspect gods like have connections to the Red.

The Green -- Flora Parliament: Trees Representatives: Plant Masters, who have authority over the growth and behavior of vegetation. The usage of their power is often accompanied by the bodily manifestation of plant life.

Dr. Alec Holland, the Swamp Thing Appointed champion of The Green. Due to his appointment by the Green, he is also possessed of some authority over the earth.

Tefe Holland, the Sprout. Beyond her powers as the second instance of the Swamp Thing, she also has magic due to her mother and celestial powers due to inheriting Constantine's blood. Despite terrible family issues, she eventually warms up to Maxine as a surrogate big sister. Notes: Has been considered for the Doom Patrol, though her current relationship with them is unknown.

Solomon Grundy The death of a gangster in Slaughter Swamp created an "incomplete" Swamp Thing, with limited, wild power over the wood and earth. Poison Ivy & The Floronic Man, Shadows of the Champion. Drs. Pamela Isley and Jason Woodrue, who gained access to The Green and its powers through mad science, which transformed them both into plant-humanoids. Woodrue, descended from dryads, taught Isley and the Hollands as their Professor ("Professor Plant-Master"), and sought to escape "the meat". Woodrue seeks to make the world less-frail by experimenting on them (as he constantly augments himself for their qualities and powers). Isley, who runs "Lily n' Rose" flower shop, was at one point his partner in crime, covets beautiful things and despises "the meat" for its ugliness, a "toxic" ugliness that ruins the beauty around it; in a perverse sense she considers herself a "defender of the innocent", much like her historic enemy Batman.

Yggdrasil, the first Wood elemental.

The Blue - Microbes (bacteria, protozoa, fungi, etc.) Parliament: Germs Representatives: Microbe Masters, who can both control all such life remotely and transform into huge masses of microbial life at will.

Samuel "Zookeeper" Register Obtained his access to the powers of the Kingdom by stealing from Garfield Logan's charged DNA, but while he initially dealt in animals like Garfield Logan, Register has been increasingly fascinated with transforming into infectious and disease-carrying life forms, which he uses to various purposes, including taking control of animal life. He's also been looking with increasing fascination to the Grey.

The Grey -- Viruses Parliament: None. While the Grey is no one's friend, it is generally closest to the Blue. Lacking any Parliament to manage it, responsibility is generally shared by the other three. Representatives: Plague Masters, who seed and control all viruses remotely. Anton Arcane A German field doctor from the Great War who did mad science on his patients. Helped convince Adolf Hitler to go to war so he'd have more dead to work with. He uses black magic for purposes of necromancy.

Note on All Kingdoms: The Kingdoms all traffic with each other in various ways, but generally maintain a balance of some kind. However, there are periods of violent imbalance in their history, where one color will consume too much of the others (typically but not always the Grey, due to poor management) and the whole system collapses in on itself, creating the Black.

Injustice 2 Quotes

    Clashes       C: Kicking up another fuss, Terra? T: But you know I'm noisy at night!       C: I'm begging you, Tara! Stop it! T: God, I love it when you beg.       T: I've got the madness in me! **cackle** C: You're not crazy, you're just blind.       T: The world won't love you back, Garfield.

    Clashes       BH: And what drives you to serve Nekron? C: My beasts just want to hunt again.       C: So Nekron has no interest in the stones? BH: Nekron’s plans are no concern of yours!       C: And I can't ask for help? BH: We thought you a mighty hunter!       BH: MONGREL! VERMIN! CUR! C: Ain't I a stinker?
