So, a couple of things as I try to launch myself back into existence on the earthly plane:
1. In line with the new appearance of Cardinal-adjacent spiritual fan accounts and the inevitable burgeoning of Stephen's already pretty hefty social media presence and real-world recognisability, I was interested in maybe having a fun thing start happening around his changed appearance, specifically his lightning scar.
Post-Aerie he's gone quiet on his social media and will be concentrating on doing any menial and admin tasks that can keep him back of house at Red Wings to minimise any public-facing engagement where possible, BUT he has still been walking around town where everybody's eyeballs function as cameras, so I'd like to play with candids starting to go up on these Cardinal fan blogs and around Cooltalk and discussion starting up specifically around the new scar, and perhaps by extension his seemingly healed hands (though the nature of the discussion around this second part would depend on whether natives also kept any physical changes from the Aerie or just the Displaced, so could you let me know so I can factor that in? You may have already said but I'm perpetually tired and reading comprehension is hard.)
Basically I'd like to start up a following that uses the new scar as symbolism and spills off of the internet. Perhaps in defiance of the regularly shut down cooltalk pages, indie makers and creatives start making little pendants and other jewellery items such as this combining the scar and blue god glow elements to bring the discussion into the real world and sell them to other people in the scene (as well as pre-aerie stephen fans and people who stumble across their pages through pure chance a la the etsy tiktok advertising boom and end up getting overly invested) and the following starts to expand that way. The bulk of it at this level being a benign movement where the wearing of these symbols is a show of support for and/or belief in Stephen Strange.
I'll want to come back to expand on this further in future if it gets the go ahead so wanted to check if this brewing little cult following was alright as a first step.
2. I'd like to know what the reception would be if Stephen tried to reach out (as a citizen, not in any attempted Official Capacity As Red Wing) to Joseph Lynch. Now that Lynch has made it very clear that he's going to continue to side with the Displaced in spite of the UN's investigation and the Aerie has further cemented that he's pro The People/in support of rebel orgs that oppose the Villainous Establishment, with Stephen being both an official face of (the) Red Wings and a Morningstar agent it seems like a good time to begin to develop a relationship.
For now this is literally just a "would he agree to meet with him." If yes, Stephen's angling for an informal unofficial meeting to give Lynch a chance to scope him out and vice-versa. Is there any likelihood of this going ahead?
