Wednesday Shout-Outs

[havetubawilltravel]

It's past midnight.

There are no shout-outs.

NONE!

THAT SHALL NOT STAND!

My favorites this week:

* Dinah and Raph's discussion in the gym.
* THE TICK IS BACK! And talking like a pirate!
* Voodoo tended bar. My favorite thread was probably X confusing him by ordering in Tagalong.
* We've had a bunch of lovely first posts, from Alfred Pennyworth, Oswin Oswald, Penny, Zoey AND a Rarity!
* Steve and Orpheus' building romance continues to be wonderful to watch.

Following any threads you adore and want to give them a shout-out? Be sure to comment here!

Remus and Lilly talk about some hard things and sweet things.

Sunshine's EP, I loved my thread with her but all the others are wonderful. The call of the cinnamon rolls.

Coyote stinks, people are unhelpful.

Though I realized those might be a little old, but they're great reads.

[imagemist]

I can only second the Orpheus/Steve shout-out.

And Eric is snickering so hard. So, so hard.

[sunbaked_baker]

Sunshine is grumbling in the general direction of that vampire.

The mun is snickering along with Eric, which just makes Sunshine grumble more.

[the_gene_genie]

Ahaha, internal!Bruce rage at Voodoo is immense right now. <3 you guys.

[boston_bruiser]

For a second there I thought you meant Bruce Banner, and Voodoo was like "Oh shit oh fuck OH SHIT OH FUCK."

[the_gene_genie]

Ha! Nope - though that would be pretty epic.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

and Ellen's response would be something on the order of, "There's Behemoths and then there's this. Um. Wow. You should run."

[mjolnir_retriever]

...And Thor's mental response to that is to perk up at the idea of going hand-to-hand with a Behemoth.

Mun: *head on desk*

THOR'S PRETTY

[mjolnir_retriever]

IT'S TRUE

Fortunately Asgardian physiology protects him pretty well from himself...

(He genuinely would find it fun.)

[1nv1nc1ble]

Thor and Mark should totally arm-wrestle. It'll be fun!

[genarti]

It would be!

You might have to explain the concept to him -- I'm pretty sure Asgard is more full-contact, as a rule -- but then he'd be totally up for it.

[1nv1nc1ble]

Well, Mark is also 5'11" and weighs 170 lbs. Thor might also be wary of hurting him. (Heh heh heh....)

[genarti]

Enh, it depends on how it goes down in terms of what's said. Superpowers/species and circumstances are a lot more relevant to him than physical size. He'd be very careful with a human even if they were built like him, and cheerfully fling around a small Asgardian or superhero who was resilient enough to take it.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Canonically there are five Behemoths scattered throughout the Capital Wasteland.

So far, since I started playing Ellen, I have accounted for four of them.

Just sayin'.

[mjolnir_retriever]

*steeples fingers cheerfully*

[ask_the_right_questions]

*proposes going through the rest of the current section of canon first, so that he actually has his powers before he does this...*

Mainly because, the way Thor fights, Erik suspects he'd end up ripped limb from limb, and you know, Erik doesn't want that.

[aaaaaaaagh_sky]

Well, yanno, if we stuffed him into a suit of power armor and gave him enough weapons- I mean, if nothing else he could probably wield a supersledge respectably well even if it didn't do lightning or electrical discharges- and brought a LOT of other people along for backup on the fight... I'm just sayin'.

[genarti]

...That's actually true! It's probably even odds whether old habits would trip him up at a critical moment, but otherwise he'd have a decent chance. He retains all the muscle memory and all the biceps, both of which are helpful.

[ceitfianna]

All the biceps seems like a really good summation of Thor's powerset.

[genarti]

Also, his fighting style.

(This is not actually totally true. But there's significant truth in it.)

[genarti]

Ha! Yyyyeah. Even Thor knows better than to go up against something like that without his powers, even if he'd have a brief struggle with himself on the subject.

[ask_the_right_questions]

Do you have any further plans for advancing canon? or is there something specific you're waiting for? (or is it just a matter of finding time?)

I'm good with anything, just curious. :)

[mjolnir_retriever]

It's mostly a matter of finding time! And energy. *rueful* I'm planning to send him back and finish up canon in a burst of OOMs without any more EPs until post-canon, but I... have to get them all written first. Right now I have a lot of half-written placeholders.

I expect to have more time and brain for it soon, since work is finally starting to slow down from the constant busyness it's been for the past few weeks. That is my hope, anyway!

By the way, just for the record, if at any point you want to bring Erik further through canon than Thor is, feel totally free to not be bound to my pace! I feel sure that we can maneuver it, and I am always good for threading Thor in OOMs that happen earlier or later than his current canon point if anybody wants me to.

[cutting_edgex23]

X went up against Bruce Banner in canon one time.

(The World War Hulk stuff is pretty terrible, but still.)

She blinded him and he threw her through a wall. BEST TIMES.

[1nv1nc1ble]

HULK SMASH PUNY SEAL!

[cutting_edgex23]

Sorry about that, Bruce!

*sends him tea?*

[cutting_edgex23]

Seconding Alfred and Oswin! \o/

I am also curious what is up with Ambriel. Is someone going to believe Ava offed the angel? *solemn*

[hadyougoing]

COME ON X

YOU KNOW HER BETTER THAN THAT

[skidmo]

Aww, thank you! It's been interesting to watch for Jenna and I as well. :)
