Claire: Dick. Clea and I are no longer friends.

Clea: That is literally the worst possible way to tell people we’re dating.

Call Meeting Interruptions

Thinking about another funny DeadTired AU idea.

Deaged Dani and Dan btw.

So does anyone remember that one video of a guy doing a interview and his kids come in the room.

Imagine secretly married DeadTired. Tim is out of Gotham at the moment but in a video call with the Bats or maybe during a WE meeting (Bruce is in the call as well) when out of nowhere the door behind him opens and a Deaged Dani (Ellie), who comes in with a smile and walks in like she owns the place and not long after her in a baby walker Dante (Dan) comes in too, Tim is trying to keep a straight face but inside is panicking when he realizes he didn't lock his office door (which is coated with anti-ecto paint that only work when its locked and it keeps the kids out) knows there is no way to keep them a secret anymore.

Then Danny comes sliding in, grabs the kids, whisper/shouts a "Sorry Tim!" and gets them out.

Tim is silent for a moment, takes a breath and tries to resume the talk.

Hi everyone, it’s me, Danny Phantom, the totally awesome ghost that is absolutely not out to destroy the world or anything. Like, seriously, can everyone stop listening to what the ghost hunters say about me? That would be really really awesome.

Anyway, uh, I don’t know if you guys are still being all panicky, but if you are, stop. Stop panicking, everything is fine, it’s all cool. Totally chill.

So yeah, Plasmius did some weird thing that like, made a ton of the ghosts leave, and then he captured me and Danny Fenton. Because he, like, you know, wanted to threaten Fenton in order to boss me around and stuff.

Like, ‘do what I say or the ghost hunter kid gets it.’ That kind of stuff. And I was like, ‘oh no, I can’t fight him. He’s got a hostage.’

Anyway, Plasmius beat me up, and he was monologuing and everything, then Fenton came up behind him and like, hit him with a steel chair or something. Like, he just started beating the shi- uh, crap out of this guy. It was like, the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen. You guys should really thank him for that, he like, singlehandedly saved the day. Wish all of you could have seen it, he was so awesome.

So now, Vla- Plasmius isn’t doing that ghost repelling thing anymore, so they should be back soon. I think I’m the first one here though, which is why I’m telling you all this and not Mr. Thunder.

OH! And Fenton is okay! I flew him back into town, but we split up after we got back. So he’s on his way home and he’s totally safe. Well, his wrist got sprained from punching ghost butt, but he’s fine. Everything’s cool. It’s all great.

Except we weren’t able to catch Plasmius, he got away. But he probably won’t do anything for a while, so that’s probably fine.

So yeah, everything is cool. Cool like ice, or like a freezer. Coooool. Okay I’m just gonna turn this recording thingy off now, how do I do-

Dc x dp idea 119

Sam and Danny accidentally blow up social media. Except Danny just gets to laugh at the headlines.

Recluse Manson daughter and *insert Batkid name here* caught red handed

It was another fake out make out fiasco. Sam had agreed to go to a stupid gala. Only because vlad was going. Danny hated his eyes in front of his mom to make vlad take him along. He doesn’t trust the fruitloop.

Of course she and Danny were finding out why vlad had to come to this particular Galla in Gotham. It was some stupid overshadowing scheme. They put a stop to it and Danny phased them into the coat closet.

They didn’t think a reporter had managed to get into the gala. Let alone get a picture of them.

DPx DC Au: Might as well be brothers. Young Justice hears about a regional hero disappearing, and while they've never met the guy, Red Robin's contacts say that Ra's is hunting him for afterlife/immortality related reasons.

Tim drake hates the annoying white uniform he's wearing but breaking into this place is crucial to his 24 hour plan to rescue Phantom. He'd never even heard of the guy until a week ago when Pru came to him with info that Ra's was looking into Midwest Real Estate, and then Tim stumbled down the rabbit hole of Ghost conspiracy theories until he saw an article demanding that local officials speak on the hero's absence of 10 days. 10 days was short enough that Tim might find a sign of life and well, another federal agency being hacked by Red Robin is nothing new.

So now, he's walking down the halls with these stupid fucking glasses and this stupid fucking suit while Kon listens from the comfort of the surveillance van. He takes a turn and sees the track suits that the illegally detained inmates are wearing, and pivoting the plan, makes his way to a locker room to get one and get changed. It does take him an extra second and he considers that this might bite him- but Tim knows the place inside and out. He's scoured all their data, and sue him for being cocky, but he has a literal alien ready to tear the place apart waiting for his heart rate to jump above 80 bpm. which is a pretty low heart rate all things considered.

Tim gets exactly where he's meant to go, and waits only a few minutes before he see's the science team extract Phantom from the high security room.

Phantom doesn't make it clear if he notices Tim, but he's basically being dragged by the couple, so Tim decides to beat them to their destination. The experimental wing had shown up in their reported data not long after they made it extremely obvious that they had Phantom in their data output.

Tim's already in the room when he starts to notice that it's not exactly a room... more like a mechanical space. The way the corners curl in the room make it almost tube like... Portal like.

Phantom is thrown in and Tim grabs him the second the scientists leave, but the kill switch key Tim made to get them out isn't working for this door like it did all the others.

"Not... Not a door."

"We're in some sort of device aren't we? Something of their own design that the government isn't aware they're funding?"

"Portal. You've gotta get out, even if you get caught, you gotta get out now."

Tim's comm comes alive in his ear, its Kon responding to Tim's heart rate rising- and Tim is hesitant to call him in but ultimately tells him to start flying over for extraction.

Then the portal goes off, and while he feels pain, he doesn't feel different. Bright light subsiding, Kon's arms around him with a confused voice, and lots of lasers being fired his way... Tim wakes up to see a much younger Phantom looking at him from the other side of the young justice couch.

Kon, Bart and Cassie are all fighting at a white board that's been wheeled in but Tim can only yawn and blink his way into consciousness enough to give a shit.

Black haired and blue eyed, button nosed with large ears, a wry thin lipped smile... Tim realizes that Phantom looks incredibly similar to his younger self. And then Tim looks at his much smaller hands and realizes that he probably looks a lot more similar to his younger self than normal.

Taking in the scenery once more, the white board is divided on the traits Tim has to the children sitting left and right on the couch. Kon didn't know who was who. That meant that maybe... the government didn't either.

Phantom turns out to be a pretty chill dude despite all the trauma, and he's incredibly prepared to both fuck with Ra's and the government in their newly found childhood twin-ship.

One of the twins is scarier than the other, and despite Danny literally haunting them, its always Tim.

(Okay now its some one else's turn :D )

Her Astrophel and Sterling

hmmm

Hmmmmmmmm

You know what.

You know those AU's where the Batfam finds or learns about either hidden or thought to be dead Al Ghul Danny! with a deaged/daughter Dani (Ellie) (I should know, I created a few of those storylines) but what if, now hear me out, what if instead of them finding Danny first its Talia.

Do I want Talia discovering her thought to be dead son to be alive? Yes. Do I want her to find him while investigating Amity Park when the League gets reports of 'Lazarus creatures/water'? Yes.

DO I WANT HER TO KNOCK ON THE FENTON'S DOOR, fully ready to pretend/honey talk her way into the house to uncover what the Fenton's know, ONLY TO MEET A LITTLE ELLIE?!

YES.

Ellie whose eyes and hair look like a copy of her Beloved but she can see bits and pieces of herself as well. Talia knows the child in front of her was not fully her's though but everything makes sense when she hears a voice, a voice she hasn't heard in ages but as a mother just knows, speak out.

"Ellie! I thought I said do not answer the door my Sterling."

"But Daddy, yous was busy fighting the hotdoggys!"

Talia's eyes widen when she finally catches sight of familiar black hair and blue eyes.

and she could only lightly whisper a old nickname she hasn't dared uttered in ages, a name she secretly gave her son due to his love of the stars "Astrophel..."

Hi, it’s Danny Phantom again, not Lance Thunder. Sorry, it looks like some ghosts are taking a while to come back. But I’m here, So that’s something.

So yeah, only one ghost attack today so far. Which is so weird, like usually there’s like fifteen of them or so. But you guys wouldn’t know that since I get them all before you realize they’re there. The Red Huntress too I guess, she’s pretty good at ghost hunting too.

This ghost was kinda weird though, like, he was screaming about ‘all y’all city slickers don’t know shi- uh, crap about how to live yer life,’ and how we’re ‘too dependent on all them newfangled machines.’

And so I was like, ‘shut up, machines are good and helpful and all that,’ and he did something weird to all the tech around us and made it start attacking me and I was like ‘I thought you didn’t like technology?’ And he was like ‘I don’t.’

So anyway, he’s in a thermos. The computer lab is wrecked though. The Casper High one.

So I guess the computer related classes will be cancelled til further notice? Or maybe they’ll get new computers or something. I’m not sure.

And for the news, let’s see, oh! The arcade on seventh street just finished building their lazer tag area! It has three levels! It’s so cool and everyone should definitely go play lazer tag.

And to everyone saying that I have a crush on Danny Fenton, you are wrong and I am shocked and appalled that you would think that I had a crush on him. Not because he’s not cool or anything because he’s very cool and awesome, and there’s nothing wrong with having a crush on him in any way, but I don’t. Have a crush on him, that is.

You can appreciate somebody’s many many great attributes without having a crush, people do it all the time. You guys are the weird ones for like, saying that I like him like that. Not because a guy liking guys is weird, because it isn’t. I figured out that like, a whole year ago, but still.

Yeah I’m just gonna turn this thing off. Where’s the butto-

SuperClonexPhanClone

People would say that because he and she are clones, they would date if they met. Well, they are right. Kon dated Dani after he learned about her being a clone and after spending more time with her. And he and she really spent much time together, and he was surprised to learn her family was totally okay with her being a Clone. And he met the Fenton's a few times, a nice family that was really nice. even if they are mad scientists. The junior reporters, Dani and Kon! For other people, it looks like a mini-Lois Lane and Clark Kent. + Dani said that she knew a few famous people but didn't know about other famous ones:" If Lois Lane didn't write about them, they couldn't be important. Or her sidekick, Clark Kent." (had this from a other prompt, forgot which one it was) Dani fully believes that Clark is Lois sidekick. + As Fenton invited his family for a family dinner, he asked Lex Luthor. He already knew Superman would say no anyway. Kon was surprised, as Lex actually came to the family dinner with the Fentons. And even more, how well he got along with Jack and Maddie Fenton at the dinner.

This became a Monthly family time.

i know some people will always have understandable gripes about zenos's story and ending but tbh as someone who finds a lot enjoyable and even self-taggable in the character i've always loved his whole arc, including its pointlessly self-destructive ending. to be clear this is a pro-zenos post and i'm talking about people who are like "it kind of sucks that zenos's whole thing is being depressed and then he dies cold and alone literally beyond the reach of any other person after finally briefly realizing there are other ways to live," a sentiment which i totally understand but very much disagree with.

is it good when carrie white is pushed to her breaking point and murders everyone around her, including the bullies who have made her life a living hell, the authority figures who failed her, and the remorseful penitent who tried to reach out to her? no. does it fuck? yes.

is it good when the hollowed-out and catastrophically depressed crown prince of the empire uses his wealth and power to hone himself into the finest killing edge imaginable? no! is it healed behavior when he directs that cutting edge at his own father and countrymen and the entire world in the name of his personal vendetta and desire for fulfillment? nope! is it evolved of him to transform himself into a monster to pursue you to the ends of the universe to help you save everyone simply so he can get his final, pointless duel, acknowledging only at the very end when he is mortally wounded that there were other ways to live? not at all!

but does it fuck? yes!!!

no one has to like zenos's arc. but i do feel that it's an arc partly about his refusal to ever relinquish his viselike grip on his pride and his self-concept. and there is a strange dignity, that in no way detracts from or counterbalances his monstrousness, in his insistence on living and dying as a monster, different from other men, and i think a lot about that is not just compelling but in some ways enviable or longed-for or at least capital-r Romantic. okay this isn't where i intended for this post to end but i guess my conclusion is that zenos has a lot in common with the phantom of the opera and that's part of why his whole thing rules.
