✮ Summer in Time ✮

The past rumbles into an echo, much less about where we are going, and more about where we’ve been. At a certain point, you’d wake up with an epiphany: What has become of my life? That will be when the days behind you will outnumber the days ahead of you, now that it is not to say that life is grim, but it’s a concept that demonstrates that time is finite. Do you spend your days burning up like…

Dc x Dp Prompt #6

“I’m a twin”, Damian said one night. He could feel the narrowed eyes of his family drilling holes on his back in disbelief. Not that he could blame them. Damian had never so much as implied being raised with a companion, much less a sibling.

“I had a brother”. Damian paused to recollect himself. He had not said his brother’s name out loud in over 8 years.

“His name was… Danyal”. Damian hated the way his voice wavered, but he could not help it. Danyal was everything to him, his other half. Their heart beat as one and when one heart stopped beating, the other one died with it. At least until his family put his heart on metaphorical life support without ever realizing.

“Where is he now?” His father asked, voice filled with knowing grief and a hint of betrayal. It had in fact been 6 years since Damian first showed up on his doorstep.

“Up there”. All eyes shifted towards the specific star he was pointing to. “Right before he died, he promised me he’d guide me from the stars. Unfortunately, the stars are not visible in Gotham, so my brother is unable to be of much help unless I leave the city.”

“Your brother is Polaris, the North Star?” Tim questioned warily, most likely in attempts to not offend him. Damian was aware of how stupid it sounded, but Danyal had promised, and his brother never broke his promises.

“Yes. Danyal is with the stars now, just as he always wanted”

"How much time has passed in the - er - real world?"

"Nine months."

"Good Lord." She was genuinely upset. "I would have put us at about eight weeks."

Well, those seem like entirely innocuous lengths of time for Harrow and Abigail to be talking about as Wake's memories cause fallopian tubes to overtake Not!Canaan House like Sleeping Beauty's castle...

#the locked tomb #tlt meta #harrowhark nonagesimus #abigail pent #commander awake remembrance of these valiant dead kia hua ko te pai snap back to reality oops there goes gravity #I'm sure it's totally incidental that those times are the length of a term pregnancy #and the stage at which miscarriages are most likely to occur #In a conversation between two women #one who was only carried to term because her parents sacrificed 200 children #and the other of whom wanted but couldn't have children because of a “failure of chromosomes”.#While they're trapped in a River bubble slowly being overtaken by memories of a traumatic pregnancy undertaken under awful circumstances.

Not Quite his Twin

Danny Fenton is not Danyal al Ghul. They’d wanted him to be, but he wasn’t.

He still remembers when he first woke up, his whole body feeling raw and ill-fitted. Even his mind felt wrong, his memories not quite his own.

Which, he supposes, they weren’t.

Because Danyal is still dead. Executed on the orders of the Demon’s Head for failing to live up to his twin.

But the spurned heir would make a perfect figurehead to build legitimacy for a coup, so a splinter sect of the League stole away some of his remains before they could be disposed of. They may not have had permission to access the Lazarus Pits, but they could still turn to some more unorthodox methods of attempting resurrection. A combination of cloning, a few stolen and processed samples of Lazarus Water, and pieces of necromantic rituals.

And it almost worked.

Almost.

The body they constructed did indeed come to life, and clearly possessed at least some of Danyal’s memories, but it wasn’t him. The memories were locked behind a barrier, present in abstract but not felt. This thing they created could never pass for the deceased heir, and thus could never be the figurehead they wanted. So they decided to dispose of him.

But the clone’s memories had shown him this sort of betrayal before, and he did still have some of the original’s skills. He struck first, killing several of their agents and managing to escape the lab.

He had no idea what to do next, but at least he was free. Free to form his own life, to become someone unique rather than just not-quite-Danyal.

#also a few more ideas/notes:#1. i was originally planning on having Maddie be one of the League scientists who’d start to care for him and then help him escape #(in fact， the “processed lazarus water” thing is actually a leftover from that)#and though i ultimately didn’t explicitly include her in the post itself， it very much could still be a thing!#or maybe she was an outsider whom the group nevertheless worked with， which somehow leads to danny tracking her down (and getting adopted)#2. it could be interesting to have Danny meet the ghost of the original Danyal #it might be vindicating for Danny’s self identity， but it might also be really uncomfortable because it’s seeing what he was “meant” to be #(or like that “what if you were the evil clone and saw another version of yourself that was so much brighter?” post)#3. obviously the implication is that Damian would eventually find Danny somehow and assume that he’s Danyal and that he surivived somehow #not quite sure how the resulting conversation would go but it’d definitely be awkward/uncomfortable #(Damian wanting desperately for Danny to be Danyal and thus making him really uncomfortable)#(and if Danny does convince him， Damian might become subconsciously resentful of him for being alive “instead of” Danyal)#dp x dc #dpxdc #dc x dp #dcxdp #danny phantom x dc #danny phantom x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #dpxdc prompt #dc x dp prompt #dcxdp prompt #demon twins au #but Danyal al Ghul is genuinely dead #danny is a clone of danyal al ghul #clone danny fenton #and like specifically *not* a perfect clone. he has the memories but they’re noticeably distinct. he knows he isn’t the original.#e.g. he knows damian is his brother and knows how danyal felt about him but Danny himself doesn’t *feel* those emotions

I cannot wait for this Stan to reconnect with his Ford.

I still haven't figured out HOW exactly they'll meet yet, but I do think that Ford would ATTACH himself to Stanley and talk his ears off forever when they eventually get comfortable :] and Stanley would listen because HOLY SHIT, THAT'S HIS BRO HE HASN'T SEEN FOR 40-ISH YEARS, HE MISSED HIS VOICE. Nonstop certified Yapper & Listener relationship <3

Stanley looks dead faced because of his ingrained poker face, but he's thouroughly enjoying it, even if sometimes he has no idea what the fuck Ford is saying. He never interrupts him though, since he knows people usually ignore or interrupt him mid-talk already. So sometimes Stan gets stuck in awkward situations where he has to leave or do stuff, but also doesn't have it in his heart to stop Ford and extract himself out of a (one-sided) conversation.

#Stanley: that motherfucker just ignored you completely- would you like me to kill him.#Stanford: Who? What are you talking about? Anyways. Have you ever seen gnomes before? Because just yesterday I-#I imagine conversations with Stanford to be very stitled and all over the place.#Since his thoughts are quite literally scattered- he can never really process them fast enough to actually verbalize them.#Or even understand them.#So he often only catch the tail ends of a thought- or cutoff half formed thoughts- or only the beginning half of an idea- memory- or opinio #And when he talks- you can really tell with the amount of tangents he goes off into and how everything he says #are completely disconnected and unrelated from one another.#I think the reason he talks so much is because it's his way of desperately trying to get himself understood by someone- including himself.#He's hoping that maybe- by verbalizing EVERYTHING in his mind all at once into some incomprehensible word vomit- that someday-#those senseless- useless words will one day magically order themselves into the right sentence for him to be finally be able to say what #he actually MEANS.#But because he's ''that crazy Town Kook Ford'' he just never really gets the chance to talk to anyone.#People in town baby him- treat him like a child.#And I mean- it must really hurt. For someone of his former intellect to have lost all ability to express himself eloquently #Not because he's any less smart- but because he just can't talk anymore. At least- not in any way that matters #I think Stanley understands him though. I think Stanley would understand his struggle to not be labeled as just stupid by others #Anyways- that was my ramble <3 #my post #asks #sput chatters #stanford pines #ford pines #stanley pines #stan pines #gravity falls #gravity falls au #Town Kook Ford AU #my art

One of the things I realized when I watched Fury Road directly after Furiosa:

Furiosa doesn't treat Max like she treated Jack. She treats Max like Jack treated her.

There are so many parallels - the way they meet, their conflict with each other that quickly turns to partnership, their journey to The Green Place (and how it fails)...

But where before it was Jack reaching out to her, now it's Furiosa who is asking Max his name, teaching him the kill sequence for the rig, trusting him to have her back in a fight, giving him everything he needs to leave (even when she wants him to stay).

Furiosa doesn't see Jack in Max, she sees herself. Everything from the muzzle to the nightmares to the fact that he barely speaks is a direct parallel to what she was like when she met Jack, and Furiosa knows it. And so as someone reached out to her, she reaches out to him, this feral, half-mad Wastelander. She reaches out and offers him hope, just like Jack did to her when he came back for her on the Fury Road.

And together, they find some kind of redemption

#mad max #mad max fury road #furiosa #furiosa a mad max saga #furiosa movie #maxiosa #furyjack #yes i ship them both #this parallel hit me HARD when i was rewatching fury road #cuz the furiosa we see there is so different than the feral praetorian we so adore #and obviously she's older and more settled in herself now #and it's truly beautiful character growth that is wonderfully realistic #but it struck me when she asked max his name that there must have been a conversation like that between her and jack #and then the parallels just kept popping up more and more #but now it's furiosa that is the one reaching out #and i really think it's beautiful #and maybe in a small way a way she's honoring jack #keeping his memory alive if only within herself

i knew it was going to be rough, but choosing to save minrathous over treviso as rook de riva is actually brutal

#veilguard spoilers #da4 spoilers #datv spoilers #rook de riva #viago de riva #lucanis dellamorte #crazy that this is the ONE conversation aside from the end of the crow questline where viago actually expresses a positive opinion about u #and it's in the context of u having let him down (again) and let your city burn :')#he does rely on u. and u weren't there. god.#for the best i think that dinara would never actually do this bc she would not survive this conversation #solas would need to pull some S tier blood magic out of the bag and wipe this entire convo clean from her memory

what'd'ya think are the odds that Declan was actually the #1 suspect in Niall's murder, full investigation and interrogations and everything, and Ronan just. missed that memo

#a cop tried to talk to him about it and Ronan went on a whole screed about how much Declan hated their dad #and the cop went Hmm. and made a note on his little pad #then the lawyer showed up to remind them they couldn't talk to a minor without his legal guardian present #and Ronan immediately went back to day drinking and trying to kill himself #he has no memory of this conversation #Declan Lynch #Ronan Lynch #TRC #tags by me

Hold on everyone I'm gonna be sick thinking about this

The fact the Drifter doesn't even feel like they belong in the Origin System is honestly painful. The fact they feel like everyone likes the Operator more because it's originally their timeline, and they've just grown to already accept that. The fact they feel actually at home in the fucking year of 1999.

The fact they feel like they were essentially being used when being sent back to 1999, but they end up staying and feeling more at home in the year despite being sent there like an errand boy. Feeling at home in a place you've barely been in for too long compared to everywhere else you've been for the rest of your life? That must feel wild, y'know? And exciting, but also terrifying.

They just have never felt like they belonged anywhere, basically, but when being sent off on a mission by the Lotus they end up actually feeling like the place they ended up felt like home. People finally care about them, and even love them. Friendships were formed and maybe even a true and genuine heartfelt relationship. Sure, they're still surrounded by daily threats like the Scaldra and Techrot, but there's people who actively care about their well-being now.

Imagine it, no longer actually being alone for most of your life? Having people who worry about you, for the first time in who knows how many years? Getting genuine human (as 'human' as the protoframes get) interaction instead of being called around to do jobs? To simply just exist in such a place? It must feel like a huge breath of fresh air

It's so human and it's so real. You finally begin to heal from the trauma that's been a part of essentially most- if not all your life before arriving. It's such a stark contrast to how things are in the Origin System. I wouldn't want to leave either.

Yeah I like the 1999 update a normal amount (lying)

#the kimulacrum has been a fucking savior for lore bits because I was able to do some Quincy chats and refresh my memory #sorry im UGH I'M GOING INSANE #I love this upset SO MUCHG #despite a lot of the problems (gameplay wise n stuff); the story as a whole and the idea around it... it makes my autism go wild /pos #the chats especially are probably my favorite part; they give so much and it all feels so genuine it makes me wanna CRY #warframe #warframe posting #warframe 1999 #warframe 1999 spoilers #ok autistic rant over proceed with normal conversation

It's lovely to see the Fonseca family's GoFundMe getting an influx of donations in Ed's memory after the episode aired, I hope that the love from this community can help them after such a significant loss

#as someone who recently had a similar thing done it is incredibly uplifting to see this sort of thing do well #my father's memorial gofundme helped us so much with the medical expenses he dealt with and it made us rest that much easier #all the love to ed's family and to everyone he has impacted #ed fonseca #erika ishii #dropout #game changer #corner conversations

Alistair is having a grand time with his newfound sentience. He's been learning to play the harpsichord in the throne room, relaxing in the sauna (even though I'm fairly certain he lacks the ability to sweat), delving into Ivy's yaoi collection with Kwahu as a reading-buddy, and never straying too far from the luxury that is the Jones boys' coffee stash.

Of course, he is still the same old hardworking Alistair, and his efforts have paid off in the form of our brand-new android colonist! Everybody, meet Cora!!

She's very cute :3

Unlike Alistair, Cora has been programmed with an exceptional shooting ability, as well as plant skill instead of his crafting skill. She will be our hunter/gatherer mostly, and I'm very excited to see where the story takes her!!
