So, On Tumblr

The first two posts under the "alice madness returns" tag are an Ask Alice blog's answer to "what if Bumby had won" in picture form, and a request by a writer of "Bumby wins" fics for more people to write "Bumby wins" fics.

It's so nice when at least one of the Victors in my head suddenly wants to violently stab something. Maybe I'll work again on "Finding You" to calm him down. . .

In other news, the "Bioshock" games may be joining that cadre of games that I fangirl over yet have never played. Other games in this group include "Psychonauts," "American McGee's Alice" before I got my own copy, the "Nightmare House" mods. "Alan Wake" gets an honorable mention for introducing me to a kick-ass band. At any rate, "Bioshock" is interesting, though I'm coming to the conclusion Plasmids and Gene Tonics are really just magical potions. Ooo -- magic that plays with your junk DNA? Would that qualify as a form of Magitek? Because that would be awesome.

And yes, I have thought of how to apply this to Alice, at least. Can't decide if her amazing jumping abilities would be a Plasmid or Tonic. . . It's funny, though -- people have already stuck in her in Little Sister outfits in fanart and mods. And I bet she could give Eleanor a run for her money as a Big Sister. I mean, she already kicks ass without armor.

All right, urge to look up stuff online rising -- let's go do that.

I just like all the neat magic excuse me, genetic powers. :p And yeah, I vaguely remember that guy. (Rescuer Jack or Harvester Jack?)

Rescuer, although I've never played Bioshock 2 so it's not canon for him, whatever happens.

Cool. And Jack's not even in Bioshock 2 (except as a sort-of Messiah figure to some of the crazies -- there's cult-based happenings in it), so no worries there!

Yeah, I've heard he wasn't in it for some reason. And my Jack has actually met one of those crazies in the Nexus before, that was interesting. :P

The way I've got him now, he's raising five of the rescued Little Sisters. The only thing that sticks out in my mind for anything headcanony is that he's decided to go vegetarian and have the Sisters be that too, since he can't stand to watch them eat meat anymore.

LOL, oh dear. Yeah, it's about 8 years after the original game, new villain, new protag (a Big Daddy!). . . Tenenbaum makes a brief appearance, though.

Awww. And yeah, I bet he can't. Poor Jack. . .
