Prompt 128

Everything was gone. But it had been gone for a long time. Cities crumbling to dust under the march of time and under the battering of the weakening sun. Everyone had long since passed into the realm of the dead, and he had long since retreated from the land of the living as he aged, growing larger amidst Time’s coils. 

He’d long since stopped being known as Danny to most, his true Name cradled in his core as it grew in power and importance with his own primordial ascendence. Others called him by just as many names as Clockwork, if not more as his planets grew life, his galaxies cultivating their own beings into existence. 

To some he was a creator, the bringer of life itself. To others he was destruction, the end of all. So many names, so many even coming close to his Name, each cradled gently by his core. 

He was Space, he was stardust, he was a blackhole, the far off galaxies, newborn stars forming in his hands and dying with a blink. Galaxies dancing in his hair, what was, what will be, splintering into planes amidst his strands of hair. 

He was Balance, chaos and order dancing together on a tightrope twisting through existence. He was Phantom, a name whispered amidst the Realms as a guardian, a protector, and yet a hunter, a destroyer at once. 

He was a Brother, a Father, an Uncle, a Son. He was many things, and that was fine with him, but even if hypothetically he should be impartial, he would freely admit he had favorites. Danielle, his little Moon, his first Daughter and her children of Krypton. Dan, his raging Sun, his Son and his little Laughing Magicians. Clockwork, his Father of Time, and his Speedsters who raced through timelines like giggling toddlers, not really understanding but loved all the same. 

His dear Sister’s children, her Ma'aleca'andrans and Atlanteans she tenderly cradled and protected as long as she could before sleep overtook her. His dear Tucker’s Champions, the children of Magic lost and alone. His dear Sam’s children of Lazarus, dancing with blades and between life and death. 

Their dear children that came from all of their blood. The Lords of Chaos, of Order, entire Cities brought to life by their magic, entire planets whose heartbeats pulsed with their own. 

Everything of what they had once been was gone. And it had been gone for a long time. But they were all still here. For Death was just as much a beginning, as it was the end.

[Image Description:

Fanart of the character John Constantine from the comic series Hellblazer, owned by DC Comics.

Smirking over his shoulder, John eyes the viewer with mischief and holds up his right hand, three playing cards held between two fingers, poised and ready to throw. His untamed hair flops into his face, he hasn't shaved his facial hair in over a week, and his suit is perfectly form fitting in a truly Tumblr-sexy-man way.

His other hand is held out to the side, in a 'hey, what can ya do?' kind of way. The background is composed of black and white shapes on a white background, John himself being the same tone of white.

Alfred might not be able to hear what Boston has to say, but he knows. Also I am like 90% sure, he's contemplating if a Ghost can be scared away from his son with a shotgun or if he needs to pull out the nth metal.

Xanthe: You're very white today, John.

Constantine: I'm white everyday, Xanthe.

Xanthe: That's true.

Remember when Headcanon used to mean 'Stuff I think could happen or could have happened off-screen that stays in the spirit of the narrative' and not 'making shit up so these two characters act out shitty coffeeshop AU scenarios'

Something very special arrived yesterday - and by "something very special," I mean the Constantine 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition Steelbook bundle

Opened up the Constantine tag. I see someone trying to justify the Danny Phantom fanfiction content with Hellblazer comic panels.

I see an Injustice comic panel.

I close the Constantine tag. Nothing worth engaging.

Evil Phenomenon for Kanjira...

...She's deathly afraid of snakes and she's knowledgeable on business. Maybe...

(Ms. NewBabel and Eternity would love her 😭)

(Matilda and Mercuria takes care of Punji 🥺)

LMAO

Imagine she lets her hair down free and starts to slowly become more business-like and slightly honest money kind of girl. She would sit there and start administrating money and plans for the future.

Poor Punji tho, it has always been on Kanjira so to see its owner running away from it... Poor little snake.

Kanjira would scold Matilda like she's some kind of boss to her, which is completely the opposite because Kanjira could never bring herself to talk roughly to Matilda.

Insert scene of Ms. Newbabel fighting against Eternity Smash Bros style to see which one gets to Kanjira first (spoiler alert: neither)

Poor Punji is always on Mercuria's neck from now on since Matilda is pretty ticklish to have it on her body (personal headcanon).

Imagine she ends up making a deal with Vertin over the suitcase incomes and plans everything alongside her so they have always an incoming source of reliable money, then when she goes back to normal Vertin is standing there with their unfinished plans for the distribution of money in the suitcase like 😞🪙💰

Punji is the saddest in here but comically enough, Matilda and Kanjira have this sort of haters and lovers quarrels every time they're together and Mercuria is always there holding Punji in case it goes too far.

Do we know what Luther, Calvin and other Protestant leaders thought about Anne Boleyn's guilt/innocence after her fall and execution? I read somewhere that Luther was against Katharine and Henry's divorce, but I also read that Luther thought that the rise of the Reformist Anne to the English throne was a good omen).

Do we know if they current Pope, or any of the main Catholic rulers (Spain, France, Portugal) made some comment about it?

Is free from the projected journey to England, for, after these tragic occurrences there, plans have greatly changed. The second Queen, more accused than convicted of adultery, has been executed. These vicissitudes denounce the anger of God against all men, and show him that their own misfortunes and dangers should be borne with resignation. Melancthon to Joachim Camerarius.

Now Sir, because [the Quene] was such a favorer of God’s word […] I tell you few men would believe that she was so abominable[…] T. Amyot (ed.), ’A memorial from George Constantine’, in Archaeologica, 23 (1831), 50-78

Afterwards, in the great chamber with the others, drew a parallel between the fall of Lucifer and that of queen Anne, congratulating Sir Francis that he was not implicated.

Tudor and Stuart Consorts: Power, Influence, and Dynasty (2022)

"In the years following her death, Anne had few defenders. One of them, though, was Étienne Dolet, former French embassy secretary in Venice and practically minded commentator on diplomacy. In 1538, he published an epitaph for the queen ‘falsely condemned of adultery’. The news of Anne’s arrest travelled rapidly south through Europe. It must have been a shock to the men who had toiled for six years to achieve her marriage to Henry, but then political conspiracies and swift executions were far from rare in Rome." The Divorce of Henry VIII, Catherine Fletcher

I don't recall if Luther remarked on it specifically; although he did refer to her supplanter as an 'enemy of the gospel', so if one was so inclined, one could read into that...?

The Pope, iirc, mainly believed it presaged Anglo-Papal reconciliation (he was mistaken); Chapuys forwarded letters from Charles V where he expressed shock and horror at Henry's near-miss from regicide (whether he believed this himself or thought it was politic to express that he did...things that make you go hmmm), Mary of Hungary was skeptical yet essentially said she deserved to die regardless, so no great wrong was committed.
