Anonymous asked: idk if theres a solid fiction to this au but im imagining most of the homunculi are npcs and when they were introduced greed was like "i wanna be one of those"
Greed (or Gier, as he’s called in this world) would never stoop so low as to be an NPC, silly anon! His character dies so Greed just… It happens like this:
“‘You are lowered into a vat of lava,” Maes says, smirking. Greed swears.
“Shit!” He studies the board for a while before grinning devilishly. “I roll to possess Ling.”
“You can’t do that.”
“I’m fine with this, actually,” Ling chimes in.
Maes sighs. “Okay then… Go a head and roll, Gier.”
He shakes the die and drops it. There’s a moment of silence.
Then the whole room erupts with noise.
Greed rolled a 20.
Hughes, the DM: You’ve made it to Truth. It looks at you, smiling, and says, ‘If you want Al’s body back, you have to give something up.’
Ed, a gnomish wizard: I. I offer… I offer my magic.
Hughes: Truth nods. Your sacrifice is accepted. You wake up in the real world again, now powerless, but your brother has his body back.
Al, also a gnomish wizard: Aw bro that’s so sweet of you omg
Roy, a human sorceror: lol but now you’re useless
Ed: Fuck. How do I do magic now?
Hughes: well, you can’t be a wizard anymore. But you could always be a cleric and dedicate yourself to a god - if you follow their precepts, they’ll grant you powers.
DM Hughes: The Northern Wall of Briggs is not a terrifying monster as you once expected; rather, she is the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen. Her eyes glint like the sharp icicles poised to fall above you. She holds her sword with ease in gloved hands. Pale hair flies in the icy northern wind, but she does not flinch away. This woman here may just be some old goddess, you think. Just standing near her makes the hairs on your arms raise as if lightning struck.
Real talk though, I have always wanted to talk about Edna’s utter glee during the scene when Helen finds out Bob’s been lying.
-First of all, Edna is very coy and secretive on the phone with Helen, not telling her anything about Bob’s suit, just grinning as she says, “Come over, dahling, I insist!” Edna KNOWS some drama is about to occur because the tea is going to be SPILLED and EDNA is going to be the one who knocked it over.
-After Edna gleefully shows Helen all the suits she’s made…
(sorry had to show that gif)
…Helen wonders why Bob wanted said suits to be made, as the family is underground from doing hero work. And when Edna says “Well I assumed you knew, dahhhhhhlinggggg, why would he keep secrets from you?” it is the absolute SHADIEST line reading I have EVER heard, and don’t tell me Brad Bird doesn’t know EXACTLY what he’s doing.
-Then, Edna specifically implies that Bob is cheating on Helen, or otherwise lying to her. “Men of Robert’s age are often unstable, prone to weakness. Do you know where he is?” And when Helen replies, “Of course” - which ruins Edna’s plans to start some shit - Edna yells at her, “Do you KNOW where he is?” Edna is not having that “peaceful loving household” shit. Edna wants a FIGHT.
-Then - in, as I have mentioned, my favorite Edna gif of all time - Helen makes some calls while Edna sits in the background, sipping the tea, and grinning slightly to herself. Edna knows what will happen. And Edna is living for it.
-When Helen realizes that Bob actually hasn’t been going on business trips this whole time, Edna literally puts a homing device in Helen’s hands and tells her to track him the fuck down. This is probably my second favorite gif of Edna. She turns around in her damn swivel chair in the slowest, most dramatic fashion known to man, as her eyes slowly move from the homing device to Elastigirl, and she stretches out EVERY single syllable in the words, “So, you don’t know where he is……………… would you like to find out?” And I would also like to point out that EDNA HAD THAT DEVICE IN HER HANDS THE WHOLE TIME. EDNA KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING. EDNA WAS THE MASTER OF THE SITUATION. EDNA SPARKED THIS DRAMA. QUEEN OF RUINING MARRIAGES.
(Look at that gif and tell me this is not the face of an evil woman.)
-And in my final piece of evidence that Edna lives for drama. Examine Edna’s reaction when she sees how Helen reacts to this new information. Edna expected fury! She expected fire and brimstone!!! She expected hell hath no fury like a Helen scorned!!!!! And yet, Helen is just sitting there…. crying.
-This is NOT what Edna wanted. You can see it on her face. Edna has no patience for this buffoonery. Edna wanted a FIGHT. She wanted to witness Helen stretch her god damn elastic arms across the fucking Pacific Ocean, grab Bob by his lapels, yank him to California and whoop his ass before Edna’s eyes. But… this did not happen. Edna is annoyed.
-And what does Edna do? SHE SCREAMS IN HELEN’S FACE. “I DID NOT SPILL ALL THIS INFORMATION JUST SO YOU COULD WASTE MY TOILET PAPER. GO. KICK. HIS. ASS.”
-I will remind you that at this point, neither Helen nor Edna knows that Bob is involved in a hero/villain situation or that Bob is fighting for his life, and yet Edna STILL says, “Fight! Win!” She doesn’t mean Helen and Bob are going to get together and fight bad guys. She means HELEN is going to fight BOB and win.
-“And call me when you get back, dahling, I enjoy our visits.” The subtext here: “…and tell me all about how you kicked Bob’s ass into the 10th dimension.”
Edna loves drama more than she loves anything in the known universe. I have proven it.
The Incredibles 2 (2018) proves that the Incredibles universe is actually the same as the My Hero Academia universe, just earlier. It does this by showing that powers are transferred genetically and keep popping up despite the illegalization of being super. In this essay I wi
live-from-new-york-its asked: The new Incredibles movie has such better animation that it makes the first movie look like an unfinished version of the 2nd one.
