BTAS Concept/idea That Just Came To Mind. Humor Me.

BTAS concept/idea that just came to mind. Humor me.

What if...there was a character who was semi-aware of the fourth wall? Not Deadpool level, but just self-aware enough to take advantage of how the series is written?

Okay, so there’s some rando in Arkham. One of the many nameless background characters to fill space, right? He’s just sitting in his cell one day, watching the doctors transport The Riddler or someone back to their cell after being brought back by Batman. That’s when he suddenly makes a realization.

Looking at all the people in the cells along the hall, he notices a very specific detail. Everyone labelled as a ‘supervillain’, everyone who dresses in costumes and commits crimes under an alias, they all inexplicably end up being given the ability to escape multiple times.

The guy decides to test this out after managing to get out of Arkham in one way or another. He gets a bunch of materials together and makes himself a make-shift costume, then picks an alias and goes out to commit a crime. (Let’s say for the sake of simplicity that he chooses a plague doctor theme, and, let’s just call him ‘Plague Rat’.) Sure enough, Batman shows up.

One thing leads to another and suddenly, he finds himself developing powers after the Batman encounter. (Idk, maybe he can communicate with pests, like rats?) Then is sent back to Arkham.

He notices that his appearance has suddenly changed. He looks a little less normal, a bit more...’iconic’? Then, the next thing he knows, he’s given an inexplicable opportunity to escape with a bunch of other rogues gallery characters. 

He notices that each and every ‘supervillain’ is connected to Batman in some way, thus, he ends up coming up with a theory that he tests as well. He goes out to commit another crime at the same time as another villain, sure enough, Batman shows up and manages against the clock to stop them both.

This makes Plague rat realize that Batman is basically the protagonist of the story. This encounter also makes him realize that he’s suddenly impossibly lucky, able to just walk into dangerous situations and walking away with barely a scratch. Thus, he ends up taking up the habit of just throwing himself at danger haphazardly in his plans, as well as growing the balls to piss off other stronger baddies without fear. Even going so far as to outright bet other inmates on things that seem stupidly dangerous. (”I’ll bet you that I can go punch Killer Croc in the face right now and I’ll be fine.” He does, and right before Croc can attack him, a guard suddenly appears and breaks them up.)

This behavior would probably catch the attention of two people in particular: The Joker and Scarecrow.

Joker would be interested, as his careless and chaotic behavior meshes with his well.  Scarecrow would be interested purely because of just... how is he so careless? It’s like he’s completely incapable of feeling fear?

Scarecrow at one point sprays him with fear toxin, after a few seconds of silent horror, he’s surprised to find Plague Rat laughing? He just starts yelling in hysterical laughter:  “None of you can see it! None of you! I’m untouchable! Send as many demons, monsters, and serial killers as you like! Do your worst! It won’t help!” (Laughing mostly to cover how much he is actually afraid, but he’s still confident in the pattern.)

The entire rogues gallery just ends up being conflicted on how they feel about him. On one hand, they kind of trust him, because his predictions are usually correct, but on the other, he’s so eager to just throw himself at certain death. But on the other other hand, he always manages to get out of those situations perfectly fine? Arkham’s inmates just end up spreading a rumor that he can somehow see the future.

Maybe in his fights with Batman, he even starts saying stuff like: “-But before you foil my plans and take me to jail, why don’t we make this more interesting for the audience? After all, the hero always needs to face some peril in a good story, right?” Or “Please, this plan of yours is just going to fail anyway. Why are you taking it so seriously?” Or even, “My backstory? Oh, it’s nothing you need to worry about, a good story always trims the fat if it isn’t important, after all.” Or how about, “Trust me (Rogue name), just jump out with me! ...Yes, I get we’re in a blimp, but we’ll be fine! We’re both main characters!”

Basically: He’s a Batman villain who can see his own Plot armor, and he’s just having fun with it.

Idk, I just had this idea and I wanted to share it, because I thought the idea was at least somewhat interesting.

Loki x Male!Shapeshifter!Reader - Trick ‘r Treat (OLD)

Loki was somewhat familiar with other holidays like Christmas. But Halloween was one of those things that he needed (Y/N)’s help to understand. Though the idea of trick or treating intrigued him when (Y/N) mentioned it.

Sadly, (Y/N) had to explain to him that trick or treating was something children did, not adults. Loki obviously found that a bit ridiculous, but it was a custom here, so why bother trying to argue it?

...That is until Halloween actually rolled around.

(Y/N) was in the tower’s kitchen, everyone else was out. Bucky was with Sam, Thor was in Asgard, Peter and his friends were no doubt out at a Halloween party...or something and the rest were at some big ‘event’ on TV, but Loki?

Truth be told, (Y/N) had no idea where Loki was, which was strange since Loki usually told him if he had somewhere to be. So, (Y/N) was alone in the tower, with nobody but his thoughts for sole company.

Until (Y/N) found him in the living area. 

“Wha-? What are you wearing?” (Y/N) laughed. It was the cheapest-looking costume he’d ever seen like it was taken straight from a dollar store shelf.

“My costume, of course.” Loki had a look on his face that (Y/N) was very familiar with. A mischievous smirk as he held up two pillowcases.

Before (Y/N), with a raised eyebrow, could remind him that only children trick or treated, suddenly Loki was engulfed in green light and was replaced with a child.

“Are you coming?” He asked, holding out the second pillowcase with a sly look. (Y/N) hesitated for a second, but it was hard to deny the urge to break such a silly rule. (Y/N) morphed and changed into a child-like version of himself, taking the pillowcase with an eager grin.

The next thing he knew, Loki and him attached themselves to some group of children and were soon stocked on candy. Loki, of course, wore a mask. To avoid being caught, knowing the other Avengers would show up eventually. It was actually a bit scary, seeing as Steve appeared and almost recognized the two. But, he was thankfully pulled away by some fans before he could put the pieces together.

By the end of the night, (Y/N) and Loki had enough candy to last until next April. ...Or at least it would be that much if they were the type not to eat quickly. It would probably only last until Christmas at best.

Hiding the candy in their room once they arrived back at the tower, the two of them spent the rest of the night pulling pranks on Thor and the others once they all returned.

Sure enough, this would end up being a secret tradition between the two of you. Each one had some close calls being caught. But each time it would end with impish laughing, sweet treats, and snuggling.

Send me asks with ships-

Send Me Asks With Ships-

   I’m bored, so if anyone wants to send me some [NON-PROSHIP] ships for this, feel free. (I’ll obviously only respond to ones from fandoms/involving characters that I’m familiar with, lol. Though, I’m familiar with quite a few fandoms/franchises not talked about yet on this blog, so, I guess just send what you think I might know?)

I think it's kind of sad that I can't bring myself to care about new stuff in the MCU anymore.

It's not about superhero-fatigue or whatever other things people are suggesting may be the cause, though. I feel like the reason I and many other people are starting to overlook new stuff and not care is because the people making those movies and stuff basically just... stopped caring about it themselves.

They stopped really putting effort into it, and it shows. There are a couple of outliers, like Moon Knight, but for every Moon Knight that comes out, there are three Loki series, or Mobius movies. Y'know?

It's become less and less rewarding and less and less fun to watch. Just cash-grabs, rather than actual stories with substance.

And I feel like this is easy to notice when you think about how Invincible and The Boys is super popular despite the idea of 'Superhero fatigue'. The difference between DC/Marvel and The Boys/Invincible? (Besides the violence, obviously.) is that 'The Boys' and 'Invincible' actually have time, effort, and love put into them. While the DCEU and the MCU are both basically being milked to death by the same people who tried to copyright 'Día de los Muertos' after they made the movie Coco.

...But hey, at least we still have the MCU before Ragnarok (+Black Panther) to enjoy, right? We also have all the animated DC and Marvel content, as well as all the comics.

Random idea:

An Elseworlds story where Year one Scarecrow becomes an anti-hero.

He’s not a member of the bat-family, but he works with them every so often. He starts as a straight-up villain at the beginning of the comic as usual, but after being defeated by Batman, having his fear toxin turned around on him kind of acts as a ‘wake up call’? 

I came up with four separate scenarios and scenes that could take place in a universe like that. He almost becomes a red hood-like figure, but with fear toxin, snake venom, and crows. Lots of crows.

Might be a bit of a stretch but one of the ideas I had involved Karen moving to Gotham after the events of the comic. (Without her husband, she needed a job and a place to live, so she moved to some crap apartment with Jon’s sister. Everyone assumed Jon died, so she had no real worry about him popping up again.) Only to hear about this ‘Scarecrow’ running around and realizing she made a terrible mistake. Karen and Jon’s sister end up becoming reoccurring characters. (With, by the way, no incentive in the slightest for Jon to forgive her, in fact, it’s actually the opposite.)

In that type of scenario, a situation arises, as Karen gets into trouble with loan sharks and it results with Jon’s sister begin kidnapped. Jon finds out about this and saves her, maybe having some internal monologue about it, then returns her to Karen in person. (Basically to say ‘I’m not going to kill you anymore. Not because I don’t think you deserve it, but because Batman made me realize you’re not worth my time.’) Then he leaves.

This basically sums up how I imagine this type of story going. But honestly, that still could leave a lot of potential character relationships, scenarios, and other things open for possibilities.

Headcanon idea: Loki is the secret affair child of Frigga and Laufey.

No Jotun we ever saw in the MCU had hair, right? But Hela has black hair, just like Loki has, and has a familial resemblance to Loki, despite apparently not being related to them, but supposedly being related to Thor, who looks nothing like her. We're also never given a potential 'mother' option in the movies, so there's nothing to say this might not have been the case. Frigga and Loki also have a resemblance to each other, which also strengthens the idea, imo.

My theory basically turns Loki from the adopted child, to the half sibling of both Thor and Hela, and the product of a secret interspecies affair that the royal family is trying to cover up. Coming up with the idea of an 'adoption' as a last-resort explanation in case Loki's Jotun heritage ever came to light. (Basically throwing Loki under the bus for being related to a race demonized in Asgard.)

Odin resents Loki (And somewhat resents Frigga, explaining why we never see them interacting outside of Odin commanding Frigga to 'leave' at the beginning of Thor Dark World.) for being the product of his wife's affair and the son of his enemy, thus why he's so distant from them.

I think, if we ignore the bias and retcon-filled phase 4 (Like we should), it also explains why Loki might be smaller than most Jotuns. It's because Loki isn't a full-blooded Jotun, Loki is a half-Jotun. (Which explains why Loki can learn Asgardian magic when we've gotten no indication Jotuns can do so, etc.)

I dunno, this theory came to mind and I wanted to share, lol.

I finally caught back up on The Dragon Prince, and I gotta say, I'm glad the newer seasons got rid of that odd and awkward pacing and writing issue that the fourth season had.

Also... (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE DRAGON PRINCE SEASON 3, 5, & 6)

Not me crying while Viren sacrificed himself to cast the cinder heart spell. Damn-

Not me also crying during Aaravos' flashback with his daughter, oh my god. They really had to have him tell her to 'close her eyes', didn't they? (Also, I'm not the only one who suspects Leola had autism, right?)

I also didn't expect how much blood was in these two seasons. WOW. What age is this series geared towards again? TV-Y7? First Viren gets stabbed in the chest in season 3, now there's a bunch of blood spread in a ritualistic rite for dark magic? Yikes! (Also, in season 3, Soren stabbed Viren in the heart, right? Now Soren has Viren perform dark magic that requires a rune in his heart. Coincidence? I don't think so.)

Oh, but I love this series. I cannot believe that they actually got me to care about Viren, though.

I also gotta say, I love that none of my theories end up being right. I have so many every season, and then the story just keeps taking a left turn to somewhere completely different.

Anyway, now I'm just gonna sit in a box like a cat and wait for the next season.
