Monday DE: Crossing the Streams

[splash_of_blue]

Gooooooood Monday, Milliways!

And for me it is a very good Monday, as I decided to make it a five-day weekend and took the day off.

So...

Post in a list of your pups.

Other people can respond to nominate a particular pup and a canon they're not in. (For instance, Agent Coulson and the movie Hot Fuzz.)

Respond with a short summary (meta or minific) of how your pup's introduction to that canon would improve (or, er, 'improve') it.

Y'all know crossovers are my Jam, so I gotta jump in on this.

Barry Allen run_barry
Cisco Ramon makes_the_toys
Matt Murdock man_without_fear
Logan adamantiumloner
Bill Pardy wheelsy_sheriff

[starrydome]

Cisco - X-files
Logan - Friends

[makes_the_toys]

So, I never watched the X-files, but based on what I think I know about the show:

Cisco and Mulder would always double-team against Scully in believing that whatever whackadoo thing is happening is definitely paranormal in nature. Cisco would improve the show by coming packing with all the toys; ghost hunting equipment, Bigfoot tracking satellite imaging, an extensive cryptid database, etc. They would definitely find all those things going bump in the night, and he and Mulder would totally have to be saved by Scully a lot.

Especially the last bit rings very true.

[adamantiumloner]

I burst out laughing when I read this one. It's so random, I love it. Here's how it goes:

Logan is definitely one of those weird people that Phoebe knows "from the streets". He's one of the few people who come in from outside the group that the rest of the gang don't make fun of, mostly because they're terrified of him.

He improves things by showing up randomly and getting into conversations with Phoebe about crazy shit they've been through and had happen, while keeping everything super vague and only providing enough information to leave the others going, "WTF???".

Logan also definitely gets a kick out of frightening Ross and calling Chandler "Bing".

[starrydome]

I can totally picture that!

"No, no, it was the year before. The drug ring. And the koi."

And then Logan looking at any potential question askers and them suddenly realising that they have no questions at all.

Tossing Yamato Ishida into this.

[splash_of_blue]

Yamato -> Pokemon! :D

[angry_friendship_wolf]

So, in Pokemon, the Chosen would all be gym leaders, because of course they would: There are eight Gym Leaders, in reference to the exact same piece of mythology as there being eight Chosen (and the Elite Four + Champion are referencing the same piece of mythology as the Dark Masters + Apocalymon, right down to both groups being referred to as the Four Heavenly Kings in the Japanese text).

So, Yamato would be the penultimate gym leader you face (with the last one obviously being Taichi), with a team of Ice-type Pokemon (Glaceon, Ice Ninetales, Ice Sandslash, Beartic, Abomasnow, and Mamoswine). He'd be one of those gym leaders who, when you get to the end of his gym you find out he's away solving some problem, requiring you to then go trekking through a nearby dungeon to actually fight him.

[thebattycakes]

Yamato -> Jurrasic Park

Or

Yamato -> Pacific Rim

[angry_friendship_wolf]

Yamato for Pacific Rim: Part of a jaeger pilot pair with Taichi (that's pretty much what he's doing every time they form Omegamon anyway, and the two apparently have 'paired souls'), although probably not without some teething problems given both of their tendencies towards keeping secrets and bottling up emotions. Expect a gaudily half-orange-half-blue jaeger.

For Jurassic Park: I feel like Yamato would stay faaaar away, because lbh he has the common sense not to think that putting a bunch of dinosaurs into a park for Capitalism Reasons is a good idea, but if he does somehow end up on the island, he'll die fighting an ankylosaurus, because lbh the idea of fighting a dinosaur would totally override said common sense.

Elrond, Lord of the Rings, SILM (books)
Eric Northman, True Blood (tv show)
Lucifer Morningstar, Lucifer (TV show)

[from_the_outside]

For obvious reasons, Lucifer in the MCU!

Sookie says Eric shouldn't be ANYWHERE. I say, what if he were in The Witcher's canon?

[wayward_sun]

I have very little working knowledge of The Witcher, though I did see most of the first episode (there's a Dane in it, it's practically mandatory) but as far as I can tell Eric would fit in quite well as an evil nobleman. Cruel. Powerful. Dominating.

Or we could cast him as a monster and play up his, gentler is the wrong word, but his more empathic side. His love of life. His sensuous nature.


Lucifer in the MCU would make the most sense as a powered human because I just had a quick look at the list of gods in Marvel and that pandemonium makes no sense.
So he's a grey areas human character, morally ambigious, willing to exchange favours with all and sundry if the price is right. Probably a night club owner still. It's a great cover and he likes the atmosphere.

He enjoys hinting at his vast powers but he's probably just slightly telepathic and very persuasive.
And totally inviting stand up heroes to orgies.

[thebattycakes]

Elrond -> Harry Potter

Lucifer -> The Good Place

[starrydome]

Elrond would absolutely be an aloof professor, who on closer acquaintance turns out to be both warm and (dryly) witty.
Tragic backstop, willing to step between the kids and danger.

Lucifer in The Good Place would be absolutely horrific. Either he would be surrounded by disgusting and dumb demons. He doesn't mind a bit of low-brow humour, but come on.

Or he would have somehow gotten caught in The Good Place and be even more frustrated than Eleanor.

No matter where he's at, he's definitely trying to get with the Judge.
And Michael.
(Despite the name. Urgh.)

[thebattycakes]

B'aww, I love this for Elrond and can totally see it.

Cackling at Lucifer. Sorry, not sorry at all. XD Love him and the judge.

[wayward_sun]

There'd be tacos and margaritas.
It'd be great!

[from_the_outside]

Sharon Carter (MCU & 616)
Zinda Blake (DC Comics)
Caspian X (Chronicles of Narnia)

For funsies, let's toss in:
Geralt of Rivia (The Witcher)

[thebattycakes]

Sharon -> Birds of Prey (DC, whichever iteration you so choose)

Geralt -> Any of the Star Warses

[canttrickmeanymore]

Peter Parker (MCU)
Harry Dresden (canon or ebil!AU)

or... anyone from my list at h2_muses

[thebattycakes]

Peter -> Lost in Space (old school, the one starring Joey Tribbiani or the new Netflix version)

or

Peter -> Teen Titans (again any version)

[canttrickmeanymore]

i am unfamiliar with either of those fandoms, so i'm afraid i can't give you much there
