And so, bar a epilogue Iris' first major story is complete. It's been ups and downs, with real life getting in the way in a major way now and then but I'm still satisfied with it.

I like that Master Bruce hasn't liked a single one of my posts this entire season until 30 minutes ago when he liked the very last one I posted. There's a message there, somewhere.

Yeah, sorry about that. I was hoping to get more done faster than I have, but I seem to have made "setups without payoffs" my over-arching theme for Season 1.

It's up for debate as to whether the mythological Thor was a redhead, or if Marvel got it right and he was a blonde. In Snorri Sturluson's Edda, he says that "His hair was fairer than gold," which could very well mean he was blonde, but 'fair' in Old Norse just means 'beautiful' rather than light-colored, and it's confused even more by the fact that the Edda calls gold "red wealth." And just to be even more confusing, most blonde Nordic men of the era had red beards, so he might have actually been both.

Eventually later Sagas did solidify that Thor had a red beard, but those were written long after the Eddas, and were often written either directly by Christian monks or at least from a distinctly Christian perspective, intent on showing Thor and the other Aesir as either outdated or openly villainous to turn the Norse people to Christianity. So while the Thor that was actually worshipped and praised might have had red hair, the version that definitely did was put forward by people who didn't believe in him and didn't want anyone else to either.

On the subject of the upcoming Season 2 launch;

As a new player to the game I'm still in my character's first major arc; while I have plans to finish this up, I recently got caught up in the launch of Destiny 2: Forsaken and have fallen behind. Oops!

As someone who isn't interested in participating in any mass crossover events with my character yet, will the launch of Season 2 interfere with my progress on DareDevil's current arc? Or can I finish it up without issues?

Basically, will I have to abandon my current plans mid-arc with a forced, universal time-skip? Or can I complete my arc, time-skip up to the new 'present' of the RP, and carry on from there?

I don't see why you couldn't end this season on a cliffhanger. Then next season, seeing as there is a three-month jump forward, do flashback scenes to said cliffhanger and continue on towards your planned end. Maybe while intercutting related but present-day scenes.

Just my two cents, though.

It's a nice idea, but flashbacks will not work for what I have planned, while a three-month jump forward works perfectly for where I plan to leave DareDevil at the end of this first arc.

Again, I refer back to my policy of "The timeline is whatever you want it to be." Sure, the game is jumping ahead three months, but that doesn't mean stories can't be continued in the Season 1 timeframe. It just means that if and when you do want to crossover with folks who've made the skip, we'll just have to assume that there have been time skips between arcs to get your character caught up. (Or we'll just cover our eyes because who should let a timeline get in the way of creativity and fun?)

Now, all I've got is a nickel, so can anyone break this and give me three cents back?

This guy Brocks.

What I'd say about the time-skip is this: don't worry about it too much. When all is said and done, we want as many people involved as possible and we're not about to let the time-skip completely derail a good thing. So it's whatever works for you, so long as you reconcile to yourself the in-game world around your character being three months ahead should you want to dip in to MMEs and the like.

Well, season two of Iron Fist was certainly something.

We know exactly what you mean by "hammering."
Overplayed joke about sex scenes because I'm clever.

Shit, that's out already? I'm so burnt out on Marvel Netflix that I've yet to watch S2 of Jessica Jones nor Luke Cage, and now Iron Fist comes out and I don't even realize.

Iron Fist came out four days ago.
Along with a teaser for Daredevil Season 3.
