Monday DE:

[splash_of_blue]

Yes, guys, I'm afraid the worst has happened: it is a Monday, once again.

No idea what to put today, so let's have a rummage in the suggestion box...

With thanks to thebattycakes, let's play: Canon Redemption - the IC Edition

Post in with your pups who want to play. People can ask them their burning questions about canon and the pups will answer. Questions can be about plot holes, unexplained happenings, motivations, or whatever, and the pup's answers can either be thought out and explained (and of course the answers can be your own headcanon), or not! However they'd like to answer.

For example:

Q: Bruce, how in the world did you get back to Gotham after climbing out of that pit?

Bruce: Years ago when I was travelling the world I set up a network of contacts. A pilot in the area I'd met...

OR

Q: Bruce, how in the world did you get back to Gotham after climbing out of that pit?

Bruce: BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!

So, this boy here. He's got some 'splainin' to do.

[bjornwilde]

So, did Ben go back in time with you or did he stay in the present with no idea what happened?

[skyhigh_seance]

I'm pretty sure Ben was treated to Klaus disappearing like Five from the bus, staying disappeared for 6-8 hours, and then re-appearing in different clothes, covered in blood, with multiple new tattoos, and completely incoherent.

Sorry Ben.

Said with love.

How easy was it for you to adjust to music from your future? DO you think it's a danceable as the music you grew up with and performed with?

[i_am_your_host]

Almost anything is danceable, darling! I am open to any and all types of music; I will listen to anything at least once. New sounds are incredibly exciting to me! So it was not really a matter of adjusting to the music itself, which was the easy part, it was adjusting to the fact that there is so much of it. And that it is all so accessible, and not limited to a vinyl disc or radio waves.

[thebattycakes]

Emcee: You seem to be enjoying the 2010's, is there another era you'd like to visit/live in?

[i_am_your_host]

I would like to visit a musical event in every era. Thanks to Bonnie, I have experienced an Elvis Presley concert in the 1950s. It would be incredible to witness Beatlemania firsthand in the 1960s; to partake in the rise of disco in the 1970s; and to party the night away in an '80s dance club.

But as for an era to live in? I would still very much prefer to go back to my own. I know that nowhere else will be home to me.

[skyhigh_seance]

Pam: what effect, if any, did the Twilight books have for business? Or did the Twlight books not come out in your where and when?

[ceitfianna]

Cassidy, have you ever wished that you didn't get meet Tulip and Jesse?

Emcee, what do you miss the most from your Berlin?

[irish_vagabond]

No. Never. They're the best things that have ever happened to me in a long time.

But sometimes the best things turn out to be the worst, only 'cause I don't know what I'd do after I've outlived 'em.

[holdingacat]

Help me get this guy all the way awake. He has a show to finish! Be a professional, dude!

[bjornwilde]

Have you ever thought of doing comedy/morning show type content?

[holdingacat]

I try to make some of my stories light-hearted. No one wants to hear only the drama and stress of life, after all. Sometimes it all goes a bit... wrong, though. Like the time I was just reporting on the college football team and instead of answering questions the coach started pulling out his tongue...

And pulling out his tongue...

And pulling...

out...

his tongue...

...

It was on the floor, and he was still... well. I left, questions unanswered, sadly. Haven't quite had the nerve to go try again yet.

[snarky_spider]

No questions until I've had coffee.

[thebattycakes]

Who is the biggest pain you've had to deal/work with?

[snarky_spider]

OK, my first thought was Spider-man. That guy just cannot shut up and I've had to deal with a bunch of him from alternate realities bunched together in one room.

Really though? I'd have to say the Human Torch. He just would not stop hitting on me, even after I firmly told him I wasn't interested in him. He's lucky he didn't get a venom blast int eh face to be honest.

(OOC: I honestly can't remember of Jess and Johnny have met or worked together, but I know she's worked with Ben before, so I'm handwaving.")

[shadowandsnark]

If you are so inclined, you may ask. I must warn you however, your answer may not serve you as you'd hoped.

[ceitfianna]

What have you found the trickiest part of becoming closer to Toby?

[shadowandsnark]

Riding in cars.

Giving her the space she requires yet being close enough to save her from herself.

[ceitfianna]

This looks fun and distracting.

Cassian Andor
Quentin
Sameth
Moist von Lipwig
Demeter
Charles Xavier

[bjornwilde]

Quentin, have you made peace with how Toby treated Bucer when those boys got kidnapped and almost started a war with the Undersea?

[heatherandsteel]

I wish she hadn't done it but I also know that she hasn't done anything like that again. I know why she did it and even kind of understand but she's still better than that.

[thebattycakes]

Charles: In what ways has Milliways changed your perspective or how you feel about your own world?

Cassian: What is the line you would never cross even in the name of the Rebellion?

[balancingminds]

I've learned how much I don't know and still have to learn about mutants and humanity. Milliways has given me hope and terrified me about what might lay ahead for my world.

[childofrebellion]

Surrender to the Empire. There are other smaller lines that depend more on the mission that are harder to explain until I face them.

[death_gone_mad]

I believe that I'll be safe from questions because obscure canon is obscure but:

Fairy Fixit is here to talk your ear off about magic and technology.

Amascut is here to give you a biased view of history and how the world "really works".

You aren't confined to that, of course.

[bjornwilde]

If the olive branch were offered by those that wronged you would you, Sarah, accept?

Conversely, how do you feel about dogs?

[death_gone_mad]

Of those that have wronged me, they are all either dead, dying, or it was in their nature to do me wrong. They can't offer me an olive branch if they can't admit they did anything wrong in the first place. I got tired of looking for excuses for how people treated me.

Dogs though? There's only one dog that has annoyed me, but only because he insists on dragging a whole olive tree around thinking if he pins me under it, I will go back to excusing everyone's abuse again...

...

...

Dogs are okay.

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Obscure(-ish?) canon, so I imagine questions may not be forthcoming, but here: A Yama.

[thebattycakes]

I have not seen Yamato's canon so I don't know how this all ends, but I've been excitedly following along in his OOM's and wanted to know what would Yams have done different if he'd somehow known the Mystery Man's identity from the start?

[angry_friendship_wolf]

If the first time we saw him back at the School Festival, I'd known who he was, I'd have started looking for whoever might've been working with or for him.

Gennai never makes a move directly if he can move a proxy instead.

[skyhigh_seance]

So how the... you know? *raises eyebrows meaningfully*

[angry_friendship_wolf]

No, I don't know. What's up with your eyebrows, are you having a fit, should I call a doctor.

[snarky_spider]

If action figures exist in your world, how would you feel having one of you and your friend, gabumon?

[angry_friendship_wolf]

I'll pass on an action figure of myself, but I'll take one of Gabumon. If they come as a set, I can just get rid of the one of me. Or sand off its face.

[ceitfianna]

What's the trickiest part of having Gabumon as a partner?

[angry_friendship_wolf]

He's stubborn. If we have an argument, it can go on for weeks with neither of us giving any ground.

Also I can't easily have anyone else ride on him when he's Garurumon, because he's covered in razor blades and I seem to be the only person who can ride him without slicing an artery open.

[thebattycakes]

Let's go with Barry, Cisco and Matt today.

[snarky_spider]

Matt, who has the whiniest voice of the Defenders?

[man_without_fear]

Danny. Definitely Danny.

Although Jess does compete when she's annoyed. Which... is quite often, actually.

[ceitfianna]

Barry, what's the hardest part of Iris not knowing the truth about you being the Flash? And do you plan to tell her?

[run_barry]

Having to constantly lie to her.

The fact that, for most of my life Iris has been the one person to fully believe me and now I have to hide the truth from her is definitely the worst.

I'd like to tell her, I want to tell her, but given everything that's happened, and the very real dangers that I face, I feel more and more like Joe is right. Oliver said pretty much the same thing so... maybe protecting her means keeping her as far away from it as I can.

[darkeryetdarker]

Ooh, this looks fun.

Gaster, Urania, and Phoenix.

[inlovewithwords]

Belated, and will be slow:
Tavi
Desiderius
Anakin
R2
Evelyn Trevelyan, Inquisitor
Lois Lane
Eriond

[sticktothemission]

Also late, but have a Gabriel and/or Reaper. Khadgar, too, though I don't expect anything for him.
