At least Pure Bleeder is a less obvious name than Remus Lupin, which translates roughly to Wolfy McWolferson. Also, somewhat related—I don't know if this is true or not, but there was a screenshot floating around the interwebs of proposed alternative names for Robert E. Lee Elementary School. One of those names was Schoolie McSchoolface and I hope that kid gets a scholarship to the college of their choice. 1 minute ago, Kobold King said: I mean, no one ever said the themes were mutually exclusive... Pretty sure Draco's wife would.

Do you think the Green Lantern came up with his iconic suit the first try without having to scrap his original idea of actually wearing a giant painted lantern? It just takes more effort! Objection! Depending on the Lantern invovled, you're argument is entirely facetious! The original Green Lantern, Alan Scott, has more or less stuck with his original costume over the years. The Green Lantern Corp members -though they can customize their uniforms slightly- generally just wear suits that the rings pre-generate for them. ... Oh, and @TwiLyghtSansSparkles If you need visual cuews for Hippogriff Man, might I suggest Hawkman. (This is the only time in the history of ever where anyone has ever recommended Hawkman for something and meant it with sincerity.) 4

(This is the only time in the history of ever where anyone has ever recommended Hawkman for something and meant it with sincerity.) I still like the mental image of a hero wearing an actual lantern into battle. And as well as Hawkman's costume lends itself to the Hippogriff Man concept, I think Pure Bleeder is much more in character.

We have established @bleeder is only fifteen, and you're going to throw him out to fight crime at night? Most likely ina really gaudy, colourful costume and- TWILYGHTSANSSPARKLES IS BATMAN. 5

Please, fifteen is already way past the prime age for sidekicks, he really has to get out there and gather experience before the next Civil War starts.

I mean I first wanted to give you blood based powers but those had kinda uncomfortable self-harm undertones, so tomato juice it is instead. Uh, that sounds awesome.

I have some extraverted friends and I wouldn't say they are vampires more than other people. Edited January 30, 2017 by Mestiv

I have some extraverted friends and I wouldn't say they are vampires more than other people. That's not exactly what I meant. It was just a joke that introverted people get energy from being alone, and extroverts get energy from being around people, so when an extrovert is around an introvert they gain energy while the other loses it. Wow, explaining it makes it sound a lot less funny

Orlion Blight he/him Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 I have witnessed first hand many times where "extroverts" find "introverts" extremely exasperating and tiring.
Quiver he/him Posted January 30, 2017 Posted January 30, 2017 Peter Capauldi is stepping down as the Doctor. I'm...not surprised, honestly. I think I've mentioned it elsewhere, but the show never really nailed the Twelfth Doctor the way they did the Eleventh or Tenth. A part of that, I think, has to be aid at the writing, which has been a lot less consistent these part two years. I appreciate them experimenting with tone and trying to do things differently...but they never really established anything as the status quo to make those stand out. A shame. I really wanted to like Twelve.
