✪ chase the wind and touch the sky

[mythically]

this is a requisite canon-fail post-- or rather, a canon-consultation post. is your character from a dc universe? do they know diana, personally or through reputation? if so, i would love it if you could comment here with your character's canon-point and last interactions with her. i'll do the same, and we can jam about possible cr and make sure everyone's on the same page!

alternatively, is wonder woman a pop culture figure in your character's universe? is your character likely to know or mention that? if so, please also comment here so we can work out the specifics! i ask that you please not fourthwall diana until we've chatted about it.

thanks so much!

If she's from just past One Year Later, Arthur's been "missing" for a a year or he's already dead I believe, the last time they would have seen each other would be... Fuck me, I can't remember exactly, I think he was on one of his "not really interacting with anyone else in the League" kicks.

Infinite Crisis, Atlantis and Sub Diego both got effed over majorly and Arthur became the Dweller in the Depths because don't make deals with gods like ever or you'll get tentacles on your face, but no one knew that was him while he was dicking around with Artie Joe until Mera figured it out. And... then he dies until Blackest Night/Brightest Day, so she probably just thinks he's dead. :|a

On Arthur's end, he's from the end of Brightest Day, and also has his real hand back now instead of the magic water one, so she might notice that. Man, what the hell are DC timelines.

DC why

but yes all this sounds good to me! thank you for all this it is very helpful. (my context was "arthur hasn't been around the league for awhile", so i'm happy to know the reasoning!!)

but yes. congrats on the hand, arthur.

No problem! His timeline is really weird so. Yeah. It's reasonable to assume he's dead at any point after Infinite Crisis, though I don't think he had an official funeral and I'm not sure when in this nebulous time period he was buried.

he misses the harpoon sometimes :c it made him look cool

[mythically]

it was very dashing

lmfao arthur really is like the crazy uncle who comes down from the attic once in a blue moon and the rest of the family is like "oh you're still alive"

[relentlesstide]

...that's a pretty accurate comparison. HE'S GOT SHIT TO DO IN THE OCEAN OKAY, HE CAN'T BE ON CALL TO DEAL WITH YOU JERKS ALL THE TIME. (Diana is exempt from the jerks category tho because hey non-American non-human non-secret identity having warrior royalty buddy.)

[mythically]

it's all about the royals with public identities. (yea)

if diana could get away with it, she'd probably be the same way over themyscira. or, if mama wasn't there to run it. so she totally gets where arthur's coming from.
