A cynic might say that this is all part of their determination to make the whole DC universe more gritty, like with the tattooed prison thug they've turned the Joker into. A cynic might also point out that they're leaning towards the insultingly , ludicrously sexualized version from the comics rather than the cleaner (not to mention cooler) version from the original animated series. Not that I'm a cynic, of course. Nosirree.

You're on a good track, but RAFO.

And I've read a lot of reaction posts for various books, TwiLyght's Stormmeme series is my favorite so far.

Edgedancer! Quit catcalling and get your mind out of the gutter! Awesome. Let's blow this town... figuratively speaking, of course. It's not a bad idea, but the nature of things seems to be that threads grow in complexity as the thread goes on. I think it'd be better to simply have a city like Portland was, rife with Epic gang violence and with no starting hierarchy. Let the new players squabble one out for themselves.

That creature in the short pants and the torn T-shirt? That isn't Harley Quinn. This is Harley Quinn. This will remain the case until he point at which Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn proves herself to be the most fantastic character in the world of cinema, which as an event has not yet happened and may not occur at any point in the future. Just so we're clear.

For a while I'd convinced myself that Deep Breath was going to be about Twelve visiting Nalthis. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. I've devoted my life to the study of Doctor Who in surprising places. Here are Ten and Rose making a cameo in a Buffy comic: And then there's "Looker" a mysterious character my sources (cough, the Pokemon wiki) tell me appears in several Pokemon games. I could sum him up, but instead I'll post this graphic which already makes a compelling case on its own: And here's a recurring cameo a Ten lookalike pony has had in the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: And if you're doubting that he's genuinely supposed to be the honest-to-goodness Doctor roaming Equestria, well take a look at this panel from the comic of him fiddling with a sonic screwdriver: Just for the record, "Doctor Whooves" is my favorite of these unexpected crossovers.

I didn't mention how the Reckoners books have been part of the Cosmere all along! ...which, uh, isn't true. And I'm not Brandon Sanderson.

Woo! Give yourself a high five! The answer is indeed Meerkat Manor.

Nope. I'll give another hint: the main characters are not human.

Too tired to write Backtrack tonight, but here's a Glamour post. The plain-looking woman with the large nose I intended to be Taylor--I think "I Knew You Were Trouble" is appropriate for these two meeting.

So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain... Glamour sat amid the smoking ruins, eyes drooping but head still bobbing with the music. His feet ached and the idea of a bed was sounding better every minute--but sparks, there was something weirdly wonderful about this day. Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the players And you love the game... "Abners." "Not now," Glamour groaned, not opening his eyes to look at the stern guard. "I'm tired. Spent all day nuking pandas. I want to finish this playlist and go to bed." Pandas screaming, clawing at their eyes. Light dancing like a wave to the beat of sick tunes. Eyes burning out and screeches pouring from hairy muzzles. Light was still flickering at his fingertips, if just barely. And everything within a five foot radius of him was tinted slightly greenish. Because this day... as exhausted as it left him, this day had been the best. Even if its memories were already sickening him. Even if the thought of those pandas clawing out their own eyes kind of made him want to puke. There was something... intoxicating about what he'd been doing all day. How did I never notice this feeling before? he wondered idly to himself, ignoring the increasingly temperamental soldier in front of him. Can I really go back to keeping the lights down? I'll need to get on my own more... see what I can do with these lights... "Abners," the guard repeated sternly. "The day's not over. There's still fighting going on in the city. We're taking you to HQ for reassignment--" "Cause we're young and we're reckless," Glamour sang softly, annoyed at being told what to do. "'We'll take this way too far. It'll leave you breathless, or with a nasty scar..." "What are you doing?" the soldier asked through clenched teeth. "Singing," Glamour informed the man matter-of-factly. "'Now hush. I'm trying to listen to this." Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane But I've got a blank space, baby And I'll write your name... "Fine," the soldier snapped, turning away towards his comrades. "Arsenal'll hear about this, Abners." "Tell him I said hi," Glamour replied lazily as the song played to a close. He took a deep breath, trying to clear his head. Sparks. Did I just disobey a direct order? Is that something I do now? With the soldiers already driving off, there was no changing his decision. With some effort he pulled himself to his feet and set off on an aimless stroll down the street. Maybe another song would help him focus. Help him figure out why he felt so... invigorated by the thought of murdering the few random civilians he could see making their way down the dimly lit streets. Sparks. Do I really want to kill them? Feeling irrepressibly troubled, he pulled out his iPod and chose the next song. Seem to be in a Taylor Swift mood. Might as well go with it. He turned the volume all the way up and unplugged his headphones. Probably wasn't a good idea to plug his ears walking alone in the city right now. Not if there were still pandas and Epics scattered around. He let out a soft sigh as the music finally started up again, just as he walked past a plain-looking woman with a large nose. Whatever else was happening, at least his music was a stable and sane constant. Once upon a time A few mistakes ago I was in your sights You got me alone You found me You found me You found me...

A wise decision that we all appreciate.

Quota's clearly jealous of your penguin mitten. EDIT: Oh, and I missed your post before, Seonid. How many in-game minutes was Guardian's message?

D'aww.

When a fellow forum member posts a picture of her uncovered left hand, and you're shocked and appalled by this unruly behavior from her. And no, I will not be telling you who, nor linking to the scandalous image. Get your minds out of the gutter, people.

I'm... not entirely sure if that was a sincere confession or not, but for the sake of our friendship we'll consider you officially purified of your sins. We'll refrain from speaking or linking to this incident, to prevent those with unwholesome thoughts to come across your... ahem... nudity.

...We forgive you. We love you too much to let a sin come between us--even a sin as shocking as this. Confess to Moral Guardian and we will consider this all in the past.

TwiLyght Danielle SansSparkles! A moderator and GM, posting dirty pictures of yourself on the forum! For shame!

I... I don't know what to say. And to think, all this time I've been reading posts typed with an uncovered safehand?! * shudder *

Do you really think being a man of honor depends on anything so shallow as gender? If you follow the Codes, then you're a man of honor in my book.

Eleven minutes since this proposal was offered and no sign of weakening. Our TwiLyght truly is a bastion of integrity, not yielding to corruption even when offered the world on a platter.

No worries. I'm the kind of guy who'd hand out most Epic weaknesses just for asking nicely.

I'll be watching my inbox like a hawk. (Not like a Hawk, though. That would imply a sleaziness that does not exist between me and my inbox. ) This is the best description of him I've seen in some time.

How many of my Epics' weaknesses do you know already? I've copy-and-pasted enough weakness descriptions that I have a hard time remembering who's gotten what so far. As long as he could. On the bright side he'd treat her with a lot more politeness than he treats Backtrack.
