TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think a cute girl attracting that kind of attention from several male Epics would be far more horrifying than the League of Evil Exes. Not all at once. And I'm still toying with the idea, weighing the pros and cons, but I do know that Super Hotman will definitely be a part of her backstory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I've only read the first book. I really need to read the others. Same, I really liked the first one too so I don't know why it's taken me so long to get the second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I had to temporarily remove my Shipmistress Lenses. The thought of Funtimes and Obliteration together was burning my eyes. (Although I said the shortened timeline for how long she's been an Epic would've retconned out most of her exes, it occurs to me that she might be cute enough to have attracted the attention of a few Epics before gaining her powers. So while that means she wouldn't have dated Earl Greyback, it leaves room for romantic involvements with plenty of Canadian Epics like Super Hotman—an Epic I came up with when my Blindybear Lenses briefly failed, making me read the book title Super Human as Super Hotman.) Funtimes would actually like Alcatraz-type dinosaurs. She can still blow up Autumn's head if Autumn brings her daisies when she wants roses. I think the odds are slightly in Shiny Sparkle's favor. Your Blindybear Lenses should fail more often. By that logic Voidgaze shouldn´t date Big Al either. ...Annoying brits? I'm beginning to think I should actually read the Alcatraz books at some point. You really really should, they may be some of the shortest books Brandon has written but they are funny beyond believe and given that the publication of the fifth book is finally on the horizont now seems like a pretty good time to start. I think a cute girl attracting that kind of attention from several male Epics would be far more horrifying than the League of Evil Exes. Welp, good thing she didn´t meet Nighthound early. Well, either way it isn't as bad as Red's list of exes. Some stories you want to tell us? Edited January 17, 2015 by Edgedancer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the winter system Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well... I have a story to tell, but I'm not sure you'd want to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well... I have a story to tell, but I'm not sure you'd want to hear it. I once subjected everyone in this game to a Lighthound fic so horrifying everyone who read it immediately wanted to gouge their own eyes out. (I mean, it was just a kiss, but in retrospect the thought of those two kissing is pretty awful.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Not all at once. And I'm still toying with the idea, weighing the pros and cons, but I do know that Super Hotman will definitely be a part of her backstory. I think it'd be a pretty terrible situation for a young woman to be in, unless she earnestly desired to date an Epic. (And even then some Unfortunate Implications can crop up.) I mean... when Hercules suggested that Funtimes wear a chainmail bikini, she could just put him in one and teleport away giggling. If Pre-Calamity Funtimes had been faced with a similar suggestion by a powerful Epic who could kill her in a second... well, it gets into some pretty squicky, skaa-noblemen territory pretty quickly. Not really arguing against it, since I know there is some darkness in Funtimes' backstory, but I'm just saying the thought has some pretty horrifying implications. Algaze is different since it's a wholly consensual relationship and Voidgaze actually has a moral code. Vondra would never allow the Autumn/Shiny Sparkle relationship to get out of hand. I guess what I'm saying is, it's not a detail to be considered lightly. And if this was all a joke that I wasn't getting than I apologize for taking it so seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, no, I'm not taking this lightly at all. The Unfortunate Implications in David's confirmation of the fact that some attractive vanillas did date Newcago Epics could make for a book all on their own. A rather disturbing book. If I did add it in, I would definitely not play it for laughs, as I would have done with Doctor Funtimes' League of Evil Exes. The power imbalance between Funtimes/Heracles was virtually nonexistent; the power imbalance between Jade/Heracles is enormous, and not funny at all. Like I said, I'm still trying to decide whether or not to include it. The probability of it happening is definitely greater than zero. If we factor in her engineering expertise, it means she would most likely be courted by male Epics who rely partly on gadgetry, leading to a scenario where they give her access to better materials and education in exchange for protection and the "prestige" of dating Super Hotman or whoever. The biggest reason why I would not include it is because, at this time, she would still be a teenager. So, yeah, I'm not entirely sure I want to go there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, sorry if I sounded harsh or admonishing in any respect. While the probability of such a thing happening is greater than zero, as you said, it's certainly not guaranteed to happen. So while it's a possibility you could explore if you wanted to, it'd be perfectly plausible if she was left alone but Super Hotman and his ilk. (And I'm still chuckling over that name, by the way. ) And yeah, her being a teenager at the time would make the whole thing even more squicky. While it'd definitely your decision and I'm sure however you wrote it would be awesome, it'd definitely be an even darker turn to her backstory than what's already present. It'd be like having Sam or Angel Zoe Finch get captured and incorporated into an Epic's harem.

This is a pretty squicky thing to consider, and although it's definitely within the realm of possibility, I sort of hate my brain for thinking of it. At this point, I'm leaning against incorporating it into her backstory directly. There's already a good bit of darkness in it, so adding in another layer of horror might be laying it on too thick. And, like I said before, I'm really not sure I want to go there. ….unless, of course, "there" is the place where they sell adorable costumes for Protector Pug. Oh please, what Epic would have a ha.... moving on. I see you´re already shopping clothes for the protector pug.

Anyone whose name sounds good with "Revolution" when added to a portmanteau. Which is to say, the whole world sans Nighthound. Nothing goes over Voidgaze's head. Her reflexes are too fast, and she will catch it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
