    *sniff* "I wanted to be a cat burglar, but what on earth was I going to do with all those CATS?"

    Yes, but if we get Obliteration drunk, then... …never mind. I'm too terrified to finish that sentence.
  3. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    He is nigh-unshippable, so that theory makes more sense than the dream itself. …I find this prospect infinitely more disturbing than the notion that he's disguising himself as an old woman to broadcast his End Times predictions over the airwaves. Thanks, but if I ever do decide to date Obliteration for real, please stage an intervention. Preferably one using the magic notebook containing his weakness.

    Another dream about Obliteration last night. I was in line at the grocery store, and an old woman's voice was speaking over the radio about End Times prophecies. Toward the end, she goes "But you know all this, dearies...BECAUSE I AM SECRETLY OBLITERATION!" I shouted "I knew it!" then paid for my items (a whole frozen roast with sweet potatoes, apparently?) and walked out. With all these dreams about Obliteration, I think my subconscious is either trying to process some things I've been working through...or trying to ship us.

    Thank you, Library Management class. You've convinced me to never go into management. EVER.

      It might be for the best. Power corrupts, and library power corrupts liberally.

    "...Right. I'm, uh, gonna go pop in and say hi to Vondra." "Oh! You want to see how he's doing after you carried him out of a burning building, then put out the fire by diverting the river's course?" "I ain't an Epic." "I know, that's what makes it so amazing! You turned the river on the building with just a pocketknife and a moldy English muffin!" "You think I threatened the river or something?" "Um...yes?"

    "Funny. Can't say I recall the time I bombed the crap outta Snowfall using a plane and bombs I built using scrap metal from the shed out back."

    "No, wait! I haven't gotten to the part about Springfield scaring Steelheart back to Newcago by beating him in a pie making contest!""Miss Runes..." "And then he eats the pies so fast Obliteration decides it's part of an End Times prophecy everyone had interpreted incorrectly and just leaves him alone because there's no pie left!"

    David never saw Calamity's face, but I think we already know what he looks like. He has black hair, a squarish face, fair skin, and glasses. He enjoys writing and finishes projects at incredible speed. Why do you think he was so insistent about David taking the powers? He wanted to get back to writing. David never saw Calamity's face, but we need only to turn to the back dust jacket of the book to get a good look.

    He will never match the death toll of fiction's most notorious serial killer: George R. R. Martin.

    It was originally on the main board, which is why everyone tagged their posts. I think it was just moved today.

    It'd be cool, but it seems unlikely at this point. David mentions in Steelheart that he grew up in a bad neighborhood, with gangs and everything else. If his mother was scientifically skilled enough to have something to do with Calamity's rise, it seems like the family would've lived in a slightly better situation because of her income. If she did have something to do with it, I think she would've been mentioned more often than she has been.

    1. He failed to recognize Megan and Prof. If recognizing Epics was indeed a power of his, wouldn't he have pegged them for Epics immediately? 2. I'm of the opinion that David was so good with the tensors because the fears he's lived with since childhood are similar to Prof's. My theory is that Epic powers are instinctual because they're tied to their fears, and that David and Prof have similar fears, allowing David to adapt to Prof's gifted powers more easily. As for why it's easier for Epics to control themselves around David...well, if they're fearful to the core, being around someone who is capable, good at managing his own fear, and not exactly threatening (his metaphors keep him from any sort of threatening trash talk) would be soothing and make it easier to manage your own fear. 3. There could be something more to this, but chances are it's just Steelheart's powers. There's too little evidence for it to prove anything. There's one other problem with this idea: the Rending. If David had been an Epic all along, he should've gone through a Rending that compelled him to use his powers to their fullest and most destructive extent for a few hours. This would've been noticed, and would've ended in David either working for Steelheart or dead. Also, how could Calamity make David an Epic if he was already an Epic?

    "Hi, is (name) available?" "May I ask who's calling?" "I'm with (business name)." "May I ask why you're calling?" Calamity, lady, I'm just calling to confirm an appointment! Must you act like I want to exchange state secrets?
  16. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Oh, and Edge? Sorry if I sounded snippy about the Koschei thing earlier. I've just been kind of on edge because of some other stuff going on lately.
  17. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Steelpug would be a much better ruler than Steelheart. I'll try and add something today. And if anyone else wants to add anything to my characters' profiles, I'd also appreciate the unbiased input.
  18. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    No Epic who calls himself "Insulation" is going to sell normal slaves. Thanks, guys!

    As promised, a Conflux comic. Firefight spoilers follow.

    What sort of powers corrupt in a way that convinces an Epic to create a new emoticon for a name?
  21. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Keep the name. That name is awesome.
  22. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Will a Conflux comic do? I know some shows that would be impervious to this power, since they're already full of more holes than Swiss cheese anyway. Also, Voidus, after rewatching an episode of Gravity Falls, I've concluded we need an Epic named ;( (pronounced "Winky Frown").
  23. TwiLyghtSansSparkles
    Headcanon accepted. Thanks for helping me doing all the real work in hashing that out.

    The more time I spend in libraries, the more convinced I become that a large number of Liebrarians are actually Smedry sympathizers.

      We have a double agent on our hand it seems.

      It certainly seems that way. :ph34r:

    Either one. All Clickbait cares about is that you click the link.
