Invincible - Blog Posts
I knew that it was coming yet I was screaming for it to not come true
I think I can name five pair of characters that can absolutely fit this scene
This is what I call friendship
awww they're friends ^_^
can...can we talk about invincible 🥺👉👈
did you read the comics then the show? or vice versa?
did you read the compendiums or did you read issue by issue? (Or volumes? Or some other collection?)
who's your fav character? if it's Mark who's you're favorite side character
anything else you want to talk abt idk (these are bad questions sorry just trying to provoke conversation bc invincible is such a good piece of media I love it UGH)
rn I'm currently waiting for Compendium Three to come in through my local library so I can reread the series :D
YES WE CAN!!! YES WE CAN!!!
First I read the comics and then I watched the show (technically I haven't watched the whole thing yet because I'm waiting for a friend to catch up, but we're working on it don't worry)
I actually read them in kind of a weird way. Basically read the first 30 issues in the new volumes (the ones with the show covers). However I didn't want to finish my collection that way because I wanted the extra material that comes in the Ultimate Volumes, so I read the rest of them issue by issue online.
I have a VERY long list of favorites because I can't decide and I love them all so HERE WE GO (not listed in any particular order)
Robot/Rudy: specifically BEFORE he went into the portal. (Utterly deviated with what happened after)
Amanda/Monster Girl: She is girl boss and awesome sauce, what can I say
Mark: Love me a silly little guy (who's a little fucked up)
Eve: Again, she is girl boss how could I not love her
Powerplex: He is probably my FAVORITE villain of the entire series
Dinosaurus: I can't really explain this one I just think he's funny
Cecil: He was probably my favorite character up until the fight with Mark. I don't know what happened but I feel like this character just took a nose dive straight into the concrete :(
Debbie: To be more specific, show Debbie. She is SUCH a great character but unfortunately in the comic she doesn't really... do anything
Terra: She's just a little silly :3
Markus: I KNOW THIS IS A REALLY WEIRD PICK BUT AFTER READING THE FINAL ISSUE I JUST FEEL LIKE HE COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH AN INTERESTING CHARACTER IDK MAN
I do have more to say about each character and really just every character in general, but rn my brain is a little fried so I'll have to ramble some other time.
But PLEASE if you have anything else you wanna talk about FEEL FREE TO ASK. Let my page be a page to ramble and discuss :)
Guys the brain rot has hit HARD this time.
I literally spent the last few days looking through the entirety of the Invincible tag on AO3 (both the comic and the show) and I’m not even kidding when I say a solid HALF OF IT IS PORN.
Just finished reading the Invincible comic (minus Invincible Universe and all the spin offs) and I desperately need fan art NOW
snapchat dog filter mark my beloved…. hes so silly i love drawing him :3
Hiii
I present to you Rex Chiikawaaaaa (┛✧Д✧))┛
little mark doodle…. hes so cute i love 😍
literally binged all three seasons already 😭😭😭 its too good bro
Thinking about how despite being a robot, Donald has shown to appeal more to his humanity and compassion. Becoming empathetic at a time when someone like Rick needed someone to understand what he was going through — that he wasn’t alone. Attempting to bring ease and comfort to others like Mark and Debbie when Nolan was bedridden. Aware of his own emotions and loyal to a fault. That despite how hard the job is and realizing the truth about himself, he remains strong and connected to others (hell I headcanon that he keeps contact with Rick and William after what happened).
Thinking how in contrast, despite being human, Cecil tries to make himself the robot. With the job he has, saving the world, he had long since let go of the concept of a moral compass and being “the good guy” in order to ensure the job gets done. He commits to actions that are both morally dubious and unethical — manipulating and controlling others and cutting himself off from personal connections just so it wouldn’t weigh him down. It’s as if he tries to metaphorically program himself to having the mindset of a machine — just so the guilt of all his actions wouldn’t crush him down.
A lot of about these two, both together as a dynamic and individually, makes me wonder about how they have an impact on each other, and the way they mirror such different ways of showing humanity. To express it versus suppress/repress in a sense.
Whenever I hear this quote from the I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream game with AM’s hate monologue:
“Because of all this wonderful, beautiful miraculous world, I alone have no body, no senses, no feelings...I was machine. And you…were flesh.”
I think about Cecil and Donald.
And yet ironically enough, Cecil is the machine. Donald is the flesh.
A friend came by, drank coffee, and painted.
You know, I won't mind seeing more of this ship.
I want to say that not enough people ship Thragg x Thokk (aka Battle Beast) so I want to talk about them. 😌
Like, hurting yourself so you and your opponent can have an even fight???? That's peek homoeroticism right there.
Walking around wearing the skin of your dead opponent as a cape????? That's some Hannibal Ethel Cain shit. Gay ass fuck.
Saying "thank you" to your opponent as you're dying, after you had the best fight of your life. Homosexual behavior.
I'm so normal about them. 😃
❗❗❗MarkRex nation❗❗❗
Anyone one of u beautiful people want to help beta a fic?
I am too dyslexic for this shit but by god am I starved for markrex content
Thanks anywho
In an Alternative Universe...
Beacon, Training Grounds
Second Day of the Evil RWBY Alternates Invasion
Evil Alternative Yang: *Breaking another Fake Penny Robot.* Oh man, if it were so easy to take a polendina out...
Fake Robot Penny: Well, i had to be creative to fight you!
Evil Yang: Yeah you had. But fortunally for me, i heard your snorting coming very close to HERE!
*Evil Yang punches a Wall, grabbing Penny by the neck and lifting her above the ground. As she smiles, suddenly her face gets punched by a glowing fist. Jaune is there, with his aura activated, panting as he stands between Pennt and Evil Yang*
Jaune: Penny, get Nora and Ren and leave this place!
Penny: I wont leave you!
Jaune: You must to!
Nora: Im sorry, Penny *Carrying her and Ren out of the place*
Evil Yang: Oh look who is there... A young hero.
Jaune: I am not a hero... *Entering in position* Just someone who is gonna kick your faker ass out.
Evil Yang: The Yang from this timeline must be such a wimp to let you stay alive!
*Evil Yang attacks Jaune with powerful punches, Jaune protecting himself with his shield and trying to cut Evil Yang with his sword. Suddenly, Evil Yang breakes Jaune Sword with a powerful fire shot, destroying his armor with another punch and shooting Fire straight on his chest, exposing his ribs. Jaune screams in pain as Evil Yang takes his shield away, grabbing his neck. She smiles, wickedly.*
Evil Yang: I am gonna make you die slowly. While your aura restores your weak body, im gonna go after your team and rip them limb by limb.
Jaune: *Bleeding through his mouth, looking at her while pressing his fingers inside his open wound, groaning* I... Will stop you...
Evil Yang: How you think you can stop me? Your semblance enhance things, not destroy them.
Jaune: Actually... This enhancement means i can enhance certain things in my body too. Like... The quantity of Water and Sodium in certain things-!
Evil Yang: Bullshit! What you have to cause such a reaction?!
Jaune: Only one thing... *He grabs her human arm, while his face starts glowing.* MY ENTIRE FUCKING SKELETON, DUMBASS!
*Outside the Beacon*
Ruby: JAUNE! *Arriving with the rest of her team*
Nora: STAY BACK! *pointing her Hammer at them*
Penny: Stop! They are not one of them.
Weiss: Where is he? Where is Jaune?
*They all remain Silent, as Ruby kneels down on ground, looking at the burning explosion site with a horrified expression, tears flowing through her face. Blake and Yang hold themselves close, while Weiss look at the place with her mouth covered by her hand.*
*Penny look at them, only saying one thing.*
Penny: Im sorry.
But i do!
Bet you won't give Jaune Rex-Splode's death from Invincible
You're so right. I don't like Invincible.
Post of the day: Who is your favourite evil alternative mark?
I start:
i think it could be interesting to have Taylor interact with a Mark who’s early in their career and only just starting to learn Taylorisms to see her as what he might end up as.
Like Cecil has Taylor working for him cause Contessa saw the only way for her to stay put was if she had a job and so she gets put on babysitting duty when Mark first starts to work for Cecil and Mark see this woman with some sort of mysterious past who’s sorta a vague mentor figure who says things he’s been thinking in the back of his mind which scares him and makes him wonder about the role he’s going down
Hey so, thought exercise, how do you think Taylor would fare if she got dropped into the invincible universe? For the sake of mechanics let's say she literally gets dropped in via doorman portal or something.
So one thing about Invincible is that I think it's setting is protagonist-centric in a way that Worm's isn't. To the extent that Invincible's setting has worldbuilding- worldbuilding that isn't, like, ported in from the books's early association with the confederated Image Comics shared universe- it's worldbuilding that exists to convey the impression of a big-two-flavor universe. Here's our spin on the undersea kingdom, here's the riff on the Martians, here are our riffs on SHIELD, on Gotham, on Themyscira, on 70s blaxploitation-adjacent heroes, and so on. This is the entire ethos underpinning the Guardians of the Globe in particular- piggybacking on pre-existing audience affection for the Justice League to convey that it's a Big Fucking Deal when the guardians get blendered in issue 7.
You have flashbacks demonstrating that there was capital-S Superhero Stuff going on in the seventies and eighties, or as far back as the thirties with Immortal, you create the impression of a status quo, a big pond in which Mark is a little fish. And to Kirkman's credit, some effort clearly went into making sure that the non-Mark capes are sufficiently fleshed out that you can believe that they've got other stuff going on in their lives. But at the end of the day, it's the Invincible universe. You don't see a lot of people talking about the Guarding the Globe spinoff. Many of the most interesting characters- Cecil being a big example here- are interesting because of the ways in which they bounce off Mark specifically, the ways in which he chooses to deal with them. The universe is less of a character in the story the way that Earth Bet is- it's just the place where Mark's story, specifically, is happening. If there's a codified setting bible, I'll eat my hat.
Now of course the world of Worm is, in many ways, equally Taylor-centric, because that's what it means to be the protagonist. But owing in part to the themes of the story, and in part to the sheer number of false-start protagonists Wildbow played around with before settling on Taylor, it's very good at conveying the idea that there are many stories happening in this setting and Taylor's is just the one this particular work happened to focus on. There's an actual point to doing OC worldbuilding for what the superhero scene looks like in Wormverse Denver or Seattle or whatever- whereas you can come up with superhero teams for Invincible-verse Denver, but what actually ties them to that universe? What are you getting out of putting them in Invincible specifically, that you wouldn't get from whipping up a barebones MASKS setting to support your OCs? Anyway. This is a really long way of getting to my real point, which is that I think the question is less "how does Taylor bounce off the Invincible setting" and more "How does Taylor bounce off Invincible the character, around whom the setting orbits even when it pretends not to."
This I'm unsure of, because where do you stick her in his life where you get an interesting dynamic? One thing that's interesting here is that Mark's overall character arc already involves learning a lot of taylorisms- the strategic ruthlessness, the shift from a good-evil dichotomy to a helping-not-helping dichotomy-so what about his arc is going to change if they spend time together? Why would they spend time together? Given the different power levels on display, what would differentiate her, in his experience, from the dozens of filler capes that exist for him at the level of "vague acquaintance?" This is assuming she's active as a cape at all, which she might not be if this is Post-GM. Mutual association through Cecil and the Global Defense Agency might be a hook- maybe they're paying for her new arm or something- but would she latch her cart to Cecil's wagon in the first place, barring some obvious crisis situation? Hard to say. If she's depowered, and present in his life somehow in a civilian context, well, that's a fast-track to not being part of the story anymore either, given how Mark's civilian connections slowly fading away was kind of a quiet plot point.
There's some configuration of these pieces that could be interesting, but I'm not quite sure what they are. Soliciting input here.
