Brockton's Celestial Forge (Worm/Jumpchain)

Reader mode
Rereading I just realized the Tetra is arguably the second member of the Celestial Forge after Joe. She showed up right before Garment. Which is interesting, especially because Tetra is technically related to Joe. This means that the first person Joe recruited for his team was his cousin, and then the last member recruited was also his cousin.

That's an interesting part of the story; Tetra's spool 🧵 showed up just before Garment Gloves but Joe had it stuck in stasis in the Laboratorium pretty much as soon as it arrived and never did anything with it until Garment showed up and that's what started Tetra's development as a being and then a person. So you can also make a reasonable case for Garment being Tetra's mother. Or possibly father considering how Joe was the one "incubating" her.

Oh, Joe, accidentally mother to your own cousin despite being male? Never beating those (Greek) god allegations now…

Off Topic? What color Jedi blades are not possible or pursued?

Had the image of a Polka-dot one.

In Ye Olde Day in the SW galaxy, Jedi use Blue (Sought out by combat focused Jedi), Green (Force focused Jedi) and Yellow (Jedi that dealt with other things like politics, engineering, rogue stuff). By the time of the prequel movies they stopped using yellow (I don't remember the proper reason but I expect it's because they didn't think those things were proper for a Jedi to do) and Mace picked up Purple (A light side colour for someone who understood the dark side and could use parts of it without falling)
White is another Jedi colour, but it only comes from purifying crystals after a Sith had corrupted them to make them red.

Sith Red crystals are either artificial (Which are red 90% of the time or something like that, though not always as Luke's green lightsaber had an artificial crystal) or Bled, as mentioned above, which is a process that turns a crystal of another colour red.

There are some specific lightsabers of other colours but they are normally not using "normal" lightsaber crystals.
The general rule though is that a lightsaber is made of at most two colours, one for the main beam and one for something like an aura around it. The two are typically the same colour, but they don't have to be IIRC. Neither the blade nor aura can be split colours unless I'm forgetting something so a Polka-dot blade should be impossible I'm afraid.
 
Given new canon (which I am 50/50 on it being actually good or not) the users personality/characteristics/temperament/other key force attunement factors decide Blade Colors now, so there not really any strict not possible or non-pursued ones, obviously you can also make Synthetic Crystals or Bleed/Heal any Natural or Synthetic one with a specific attunement/emotion and gain a blade crystal with that emotions base color, so yea, new canon is a clusterfuck of colors that could happen, but most likely never will unless the writers decide to go out there with this fact.

So in Canon/Legends we saw quite a number of colors

Black/White/Blue/Light Blue/Dark Blue/Cyan/Forest Green/Green/Lime/Yellow/Lime-Yellow/Yellow-Orange/Purple/Pink/Red/Dark Red

Probably quite a few more that I forgot but well, there always are more permutations
 
I wish you all happy holidays, and delays are merely more anticipation. You've never dissapointed before, Lord, and I don't think you will this time either.

Gant is not just nothing, it's reality going into negative, in person Gantsaber will look not like nothing, but, considering it will constantly EMIT gant light, more like an ever-growing cessation of being. An encroaching end of reality. Honestly, "saber cuts things" aspect will probably be the least dangerous of that monstrosity. Funny, the holder will probably lose themselves in gant first before harming anyone with such thing.

You know Gant is pretty bad when even Tybalt doesn't want to mess with it much.

To be fair, even though he's the demigod of war, he's still a cat. Gant would make things to easy, aka not fun, and no cat wants there war to be not fun.

Nah, Tybalt had no qualms over the idea of using Burstone as ammo. AKA, that thing that can literally store ludicrous amounts of energy within that then gets released when it gets destroyed. We're not talking explosive rounds, we're talking literal nukes on a bullet. It's the kind of thing that can destroy planets and Tybalt had no problems bringing it up as a "fun" way to make use of the Dyson Sphere's ridiculous power output. And that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Tybalt making the most of everything that can be used for war - which is to be expected of a demigod of war. He turned his nanites immediately into a mech, he weaponized a metal of literal death for his helmet and his spear, and he was willing to take custody of the souls Joe had that had lost their lives in conflict.

But even then, Joe said that wearing a Gant cape was "pushing things even for Tybalt". We're talking about someone that considers apocalypse weapons as something "fun", and it wasn't even a weapon that Joe was talking about. It was a cape.

Explosions = sparky, bright, loud, lots of fun, yay

Erasing things out of reality = gloomy, dark, silent, booooooooo-riiiiiiing, booo

I dunno man, everything checks out
 
You know what is funny, this story can truthfully be described as:

"Local man goes mad with power, moves into a Volcano Lair, and plans to destroy the world as we know it."

Seriously, Apeiron is just some unchecked pettiness and overblown ego away from Dr. Doom. And even without that, his goals and partially motivation coincides with some of those evil masterminds archetypes, you know the ones who try to take over the world because they believe they can make it better. Only this shit gets inverted, as mastermind doesn't really want to take the world, so he seeks ways to make it better without it, meanwhile people like Uppercrust gain trust in him and give him their world ("Everything") voluntarily despite protests of mastermind. Apeiron is just not-asshole-ish Dr. Doom being dragged into world domination without his consent. Bizarro Doom.
 
I wonder if in universe anyone is still mad at Piggot for preventing the recruitment of Apeiron. He literally told Amy that if he was in Boston or New York he probably would have joined the Protectorate. If anyone is still thinking about that, every time Joe does anything to make himself look impressive it makes Piggot look worse for preventing his recruitment.

You bet they are, the problem is that trying to do anything overt about it right now would upset too many dominos.
