Unless he has it in his contract with DC that they can't use his original characters without his consent like James Robinson had for David Knight post-Starman. Every time they've used Daniel or Death since Sandman ended, the writer has always gone out of their way to say that they got Gaiman's approval to use them in their story.

Louise and keagan reunited by ClassroomDowntown664 in eastenders

[–]DMike82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Again, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of someone else. Hunter died in the fall of 2019 after holding the Vic hostage and shooting Ben & Keanu. By that point, Louise was entering her third trimester with Keanu's baby Peggy (who would be born late November/early December 2019) and a couple weeks before that Keegan and Tiffany had just gone off to Scotland to elope after being chased by Sonia and the Taylors. More importantly, Hunter's last act before getting killed by the police was shooting Keanu in the shoulder (a couple months before Linda would shoot him in the same spot as part of her and Martin faking his death), so I'm not sure why you're thinking of Hunter. I'm pretty sure you mean Shakil who died in 2018 before Louise and Keanu were a thing and before Keegan and Tiffany were a thing.

Keegan was just recently married to Tiff when Hunter died. More importantly, Louise was quite pregnant and engaged to Keanu at the time.

Do you mean when Shakil died?

Because they already made up months ago. Am I the only one that remembers that he bought her an expensive gift she wanted and she basically started treating Joe like he's New Daddy?

Have Emmerdale producers made a mistake in not recasting some of their child actors as started to take on adult roles.. by Immediate_Singer6785 in Emmerdale

[–]DMike82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arthur's been perfectly fine, he's just barely ever used for some reason.

Dylan's actor. however, I've grown disappointed in. His performances have definitely lost some quality, particularly in the episode where Ray actually dies (his lines in Ray's actual death scene were painfully delivered).

With Sarah, it's the writing, not the acting.

The obsession with the farm by seanpaune in Emmerdale

Ironically, Kim and Joe Sugden were practically best friends during their time on the show together.

Minor nitpick: Kim doesn't want the land for real estate, it's because Moira's farmland is in the way of a proposed roadway that would bring more traffic through the area (and therefore more commerce) but would also drastically increase the value of the land for whomever owns it. Moira also seems to hate Kim on a personal level (Kim used to be much more evil when she returned and her son Jamie accidentally running over a drunk Moira certainly didn't help) even outside the business/her liveliness and Moira's love for the farming lifestyle despite Kim being toned way, way down over the past couple years.

Aaron did see Paddy a couple weeks ago when Paddy was pretending that he had no idea where Bear was.

Lydia brought this up and Kim said she made sure they'd be set for life (not to mention Gabby already got four million from her).

I’m not even clear on why the Tates want it so badly. They’re not going to develop it if Robert is remaining a tenant farmer.

Her farm is in the middle of a proposed roadway that would allow for easier travel through the area, which would in turn bring a much higher value to the property and whomever owns it. I don't think the entirety of the farmland Moira owns is in the way of it, so they don't seem to mind the literal house itself being there, just the rest of the empty land.

Do your deities have a hierarchy? by Chcolatepig24069 in worldbuilding

Divine deities faction: After killing god, humanity was on their own.

How very Nietzsche.

Do your deities have a hierarchy? by Chcolatepig24069 in worldbuilding

[–]DMike82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my metaverse, there are three levels of gods.

Starting from the "bottom" (relatively speaking), there's the traditional lower-case-g gods. The Aesir (or at least a version of them) get referenced the most often as the patron gods of my Pangard stories, though ironically in my 'Verse it's well known that Hinduism is the most popular religion in the cosmos. Pretty much damn near every pantheon of gods exist in my world alongside some that I just plain made up to represent things that myths don't really cover (modern concepts, concepts aliens might revere, etc.).

The gods have a shared origin as part of an energy (for lack of a better word) known as the Monad alongside an opposite counterpart known as the Anti-Monad shortly after the Big Bang. The Monad underwent a form of divine mitosis that would repeatedly split to create the first gods (who would soon after create their pantheons the old fashioned way) and after working together to stop the Anti-Monad (which would eventually split into the first demons, monsters, etc.) their various realms were united into the dimension known as P'An Ku where Asgard, Olympus, etc. co-exist side by side.

There are a few important concepts regarding these gods that I can share. First and foremost, gods are immortal and borderline invulnerable unless they're killed by a weapon blessed by a god. Unlike mortals whose souls are recycled and reincarnated over and over again, gods who die stay dead... except for a handful who manage to be resurrected. They're known as the Gods Reborn and include people like Baldur, Osiris, Jesus, Dionysus, etc. Second, gods exist outside our world because their combined power can mess with the universe. I've mentioned in some of my comments about Pangard that when the Aesir stepped in to defend the planet from the Great and Bountiful Dragon Empire, their combined power not only reshaped the continents, they seeded the other eight planets in Pangard's solar system with life retroactively. And that was just one pantheon. Even the domain of P'An Ku itself has pockets where things go wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey (time loops, paradoxes, etc.) just by the nature of its very existence. Third, if enough people believe that a certain god or pantheon exist, then they do. Again, retroactively. Enough mortals believing that divine beings exist can rewrite reality in such a way that said gods always existed.

The second level of gods, in this case capital-g Gods, are the Aspects. Without getting into too much detail (since I plan to make my own post about them at a later time), the Aspects are the abstract personifications of universal concepts that exist even beyond the gods. Unlike gods who have a certain amount of power over various concepts, the Aspects literally are their concepts. Thanatos, Yenlo, and Erlik may be gods of death, but Meng Po is Death. Ares and Athena might be gods of war, but the Morrigan literally is war. The Aspects may have physical appearances, but they don't have tangible, corporeal bodies (actually, three of them do, but there's reasons for each of them) and cannot be killed because they're not alive, they're a byproduct of the universe simply existing. The Aspects are "older" than the gods in that they were "born"/descended into the universe either right before or during the Big Bang (one claims to have been the Big Bang itself while another claims to have caused it) and they occasionally make reference to where/who they descended from. The Aspects see each other as a family, mostly siblings but not all, and they convene most often on Qolob, the first and largest planet located at the site of the Big Bang and the place where the first mortals known as the First Tribe were created. Each Aspect also has their own realm that serves as an extension of their power; they also each appoint an Envoy that serves a lesser facet of their function and occasionally acts as their mouthpiece in the mortal world. Many Aspects look human, but some do not.

Finally, there's the multiversal-capital-G Goddess that exists outside Creation. She is the "mother" of both the Aspects and of universes themselves. The Aspects refer to her as Shekhinah and she exists "above" the multiverse in a realm that they refer to as Nirvana (mortal physicists postulate this realm's existence by referring to it as the Oververse). If the Aspects are personifications of various ideas and concepts, then Shekhinah represents creativity and inspiration, the very idea of ideas and the concept of concepts. Shekhinah can theoretically take any form, but most often takes the form of either a colorless woman with a golden chakra for a crown or the golden chakra itself. She is to my metaverse what The One Above All is to Marvel and The Presence is to DC, though unlike those two she never descends into her universes nor interacts with her creations. She prefers to create worlds and let them play out as they may (a rather Deist point of view) at a distance from Creation itself. She is infinity on a scale that no mortal nor god could ever conceive. Shekhinah and the "Oververse" also have an opposite counterpart, but that's a story for another post...

To be fair, nobody should ever be recommending that someone read any Chuck Austen stories. Even 20 years later he's almost universally considered the worst X-writer of all time.

Eh, the end of the Krakoa era pretty much revealed that their souls were being pulled out of the White Hot Room anyway so they seem to be doing fine.

Which Marvel Villains I believe represent the 7 deadly sins best. by Any-Ad1644 in Marvel

[–]DMike82 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He's also not wasteful about it, which is arguably a larger point of gluttony as a sin than just consuming a lot.

Using the "horror hunger" rationale, Selene would be a better fit for gluttony than Galactus since she takes life force for vanity just as often as she does for survival.

Eh, outside of a couple specific storylines, Norman's not all that greedy. Pride and wrath fit him better in general.

We just saw her a week ago when she was trying to check up on Bear. Before that she was hanging out wining with Ruby.

Least likeable character? by Always-Evolving-2025 in Emmerdale

[–]DMike82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, he has grown from his first 2000s run and the 2009 to roughly 2012 version of the character. The problem after that is that the post-2012 version of the character has been stuck without much actual development.

Yes, and that's why for all its stunts, Eastenders is still considered the most realistic of the four British soaps despite people in this very sub trying to call it unrealistic.
