Random Discussion

[thingamawhatsit]

Because it's impolite to have them in the middle of the meme, but I don't really feel like going to the meme's post for it, and this way I can keep any random discussion threads I get into all in one convenient (for me) place.

I do really like random discussions, so if you randomly feel like starting one out of the blue, that is totally cool too.

I think by now anyone in LJ is in a polygamist relationship XDb

It's even more fascinating since it's an organized crime done by powered villains, you're right. The Rogues aren't organized in the same way Luthor's group is, but they make it work better because there's no power struggle - except for the Top, but he got dealt with by Cold.

Wow... I never realized how frustrating it must be to write them. (Your obsession is healthy in the realms of psychology! :D) They're Rogues because of the need to be a Rogue. They choose to be various shades of grey instead of superhero white, and I gotta say that I'm impressed by that. I lean heavily towards the JL/JLU cartoons because it's what I was introduced to, and in the episodes introducing Flash's villains it's as if they're a team when they're not. They have ethics/codes that separates them from other villains yet they have their own ideas and opinions about those ethics/codes, and that's where the Rules come in.

The Rouges are definitely a different sort of group from the Light. Honestly I can think of more ways in which they are different than I can similar

I don't know if you've looked through FF.net, but Belphegor's JL/JLU stories are mostly about the Rogues. Hope you like what you read (if you haven't already)!

Internet and computer, the best combination ever made. Not to the extent you did, but I also researched Wally and the lot associated with him. Most of what I read sent me reeling, while the rest just made me think "DCU, CAN'T YOU KEEP ANYTHING STRAIGHT?!".

I... don't think I've read that story, the one with Conner? I can't remember which page, but there's prompt that requested the Rogues take Wally into their group; it's incomplete, and it does lean towards the "white" side (though I suspect the Top would go bad if it continued). And yeah, I get what you're saying. It'd be such a mess, and Barry would probably have to quit his job. I always wonder if it'd be easier on superheroes if they didn't have secret identities.

Is the fic you're working on for a prompt in YJ?
