Both Runs in the Family and its reprise from The Outsiders sound like sentiments John Dory would have had before and during Brozone's split. Especially the "now I'm stuck between the role of a brother and a father" part

Lol, Who knows, maybe if Danny drags Clockwork into it then the Danny Corpses could be a known phenomenon.

Like mimics and doppelgangers in analog horror, the corpses are something that have been around since the dawn of time. There's protocols and conspiracies dedicated to them.

That idea strays from the vibe of the Justice League suddenly finding all these identical bodies if you keep it DCxDP, but i could imagine them or even just Batman trying to solve the myster

Would a corpse buried on the moon decompose at all?

No suit or even a casket. Straight body in moon dirt. Would there be any significant deterioration of the body?

My intuitive thought is no, but I don't think I know enough about moon conditions and body decomposition to be confident in that.

Honestly he might have better luck with hiding his body (or bodies) on Mt Everest, the place is already a mass grave of 200 since recovery is so difficult.

Now im just imagining all the remote locations Danny could hide his body, bonus points if a Justice Leaguer can find it.

Superman - a mile from the fortress of solitude

Aquaman - some drop off or abyss (though probably not if Danny's human form reflects his body's decomp, there are things that eat down there)

Oooo, i am intrigued! Thats a question of what exactly causes the body to break down and how the absence/presents of certain variables would affect it. The first big thing that comes to mind is the lack of scavengers and insects. Another is no weather or other elements, except for the sun but you said the body is buried. Theres the bacteria thats already naturally in the body but they would supposedly be basically stagnant in space. Now i want to research. Would the body become some kind of mummy?

Is your thought DP or DPxDC related?

Imagine a sorta corpse au where Danny's human form replicates the state of his body so to stop from looking too dead, at least anymore so then he does after however long it took the trio to figure out what was happening and stick the body in a freezer, he takes his body and buries it on the moon for his final resting place.

If enough time has passed since DP canon, then you could claim Jazz is a halfa/liminal enough to shapeshift. Then she could be the fourth horse. She shows up and after a week with no horsemen, the Wayne's start to suspect the horses will choose a rider amongst them.

Jazz could be the red horse if only visually, but it would be kinda funny if she just so happens to favor Jason among the Bats and thats what cause the "chosen riders" theory

Imagine if they actually are aspects of Pestilence, War, Famine, and Death. Probably due to Infinite Realms Royalty bullshit. Instead of the order they show up to the Wayne's, theyr the order they became denizens of the Infinite Realms.

Danny whould be the White horse and Pestilence, with the crown to show conquest and because he was the first to die/join the Infinite Realms and therefore the first to arrive.

Dan would be the Red horse and War, considering he literally destroyed the alternate future using himself as a one man army at war with the entire world plus he technically joined the Infinite Realms second when he settled into this timeline.

Ellie as the Black horse and Famine, which the only thing i can think of is because she came third and is the only sibling who could technically be considered never to have eaten (at least "in life" since she was never fully alive to begin with) but i feel like there might be some connect between her love of travel and Famine not wanting to hurt the finer things like wine and oil

And then Jazz as the Pale horse, which i know doesn't completely make sense but she would technically be the last to join the Infinite Realms either from being the last to be liminal enough or because she eventually becomes a full ghost. Shes the oldest and respected enough to have sway over her death touched siblings, which might barely be considered having power over death. Makes more sense if you also have Jazz be the only full ghost.

Danny has shapeshifted into many different animals, and creatures. From Dragons and Cats, even a Deer. So, why not an Alicorn?

Danny has watched My Little Pony - loved the show, he still does. Jazz loves it too, even his parents. So, as Danny being the Ghost King, he was curious if he could shapeshift into an Alicorn.

And he did! It looked generic, so every tiem Danny had Free-Time, he would go and practice his shapeshifting. He was effectively making his own Ponysona in real time. And by then, he really looked like a King of the Dead in Alicorn Form.

And as he was busy admiring himself, he felt a pull of a summoning.

Well, shit.

^-^

When Danny finally gets summoned, he instantly recognized the usual Cultists asking for the end of the world, or something. Honestly, he's more surprised there was a Cult summoning. He got summoned every day, and he hasn't been summoned for like, 2 months.

Although, he recognized a few figures wearing costumes and he's been summoned in front of Batman and Robin.

... okay, he can work with this.

Danny deals with the Cultists with ease, before turning to Batman and Robin. Batman shifted, seemingly ready to fight. Danny was ready to pretty much flee and then disappear, only to be stopped by Robin.

"Father, I desire to bring the Alicorn home."

... okay, that was not what he was expecting. But, Danny "Little Shit" Fenton sees an opportunity to screw with the Batman. And well, he liked Robin. He may as well have fun with this!

He isn't called Danny "Commit to the Bit" Fenton for a reason!

What does Clark see if he tries to X-ray vision Danny? Its already established that he doesn't hear a heartbeat from Danny, or probably any other normal living person bodily sounds considering he thought Danny's office was empty.

Does Clark see nothing at all or would he see a vaguely Danny-shaped blob of whatever extoplasm looks like on an x-ray?

Is this the same as the Corpse Au where Danny still keeps half of everything? In that case, how long does it take for Clark to calm down enough to realize that the skull (and Danny himself if x-ray vision works normally on him) is only about half as dense as human bones are supposed to be?

(Also, small thing but how does Clark pick up on if Danny is lying if he doesn't have heartrate or breathing to go off of? Reporter's intuition or just other minor visible tell?)

Danny Corpse AU, he keeps his polished bones in a locked case under his bed, but has his skull on his desk as a nice decoration and work companion.

He puts funny little hats on himself, sometimes some little paper accessories (he doesn't want to put any kind of adhesive in his bones, that's just asking for damage- so no stickers, sadly).

Everyone he works with fully assumes it's just a prop skull.

Danny Fenton works at the Daily Planet in a corner where Clark Kent doesn't really frequent.

One day, he has to drop of some paperwork for Mr Fenton- who he's never met despite working together for the past two years, “shit just happens in a big office like that I guess” he says (though Clark swears he’s never heard a heartbeat or any kind of breathing from that office)- and Clark drops everything he's holding when he sees a child's skull on the desk, decorated with a festive pink ribbon patterned with different fruits.

Clark knows exactly what real bone pores look like, and he knows his enhanced sight isn't lying to him. It's either the best fake in this or any universe, or his coworker has a real human child's skull on his desk.

But how does he bring this up to anyone without exposing himself?

I love when cryptid or paranormal things are treated as a natural fact of life

My vampires CAN walk into the sunlight but doing so would reveal what they would look like if they aged normally

Younger vampires don’t have much to worry about but older vamps have reason to avoid sunlight as they age. They are still immortal, but their aged, sunlit selves are significantly weaker than their non-sunlit forms. Vamps over 100 years old run the risk of crumpling over, fully immobile, but still conscious

It definitely is

This shot in trailer almost got me,

"Foxy Dad"

But it could be an undercover mission with Finnick plays as their kids.

Anyone else sometimes have characters in dreams reference other dreams they had no part of?

[thenightwolf51]

I love things like this. All these phrases and words have been common for so long that you never really stop to wonder where it orignates but its fun when you do. Reminds me of the writing unit years ago where i learned about all the common words and phrase we use that Shakespear just made up (dead as a doornail, for example)

jury-rigged. even keel. by the board. three sheets to the wind. loose cannon. son of a gun. pipe down. taken aback.

I adore this! Does that mean that all those dragons guarding princesses locked away in towers are just trying to be good parents, whether or not the princesses are their actual offspring or surprise-adopted humans?

There is a species of butterfly that lives in the mountains.

When it hatches as a caterpillar, it lowers itself to the ground on a strand of silk, and then produces a chemical that smells like the larvae of ants. An ant eventually discovers it, lured by the scent, and brings it back to the anthill, where it is cared for by the colony until it pupates. After a few weeks, the adult butterfly crawls back up through the anthill, through the dirt and the winding tunnels, and out into the sunlight before it can finally open its wings.

Some say that the caterpillar “tricks” the ants into doing this. I don’t know if I agree – I think it’s too small a thing to accuse of guile, don’t you?

With this in mind: Once upon a time, there were seven dwarves.

They lived and worked in the mountains, mining for gold and jewels and precious things. And one night, after a long day’s labour, they heard a knocking at the great stone doors of their mountain.

Outside, shivering and small, they found a human child.

I’m sure you can guess most of what she told them. Stepmothers were involved – it’s not important. What’s important was that each of the dwarves felt a dire and pressing need to care for the child, and they took her into their home, fed her, clothed her, and gave her a warm bed to sleep in. And many seasons passed around that mountain, with the dwarves raising the child as one of their own, until one autumn’s day.

The girl laid, slender and still, in a coffin of spun glass. And some weeks later, one of the dwarves had the idea to call for a prince. This was of course the sensible thing to do, and the prince of a nearby kingdom who listened to the story thought an ensorcelled girl would be a grand thing to rescue.

Poor devils. It feels cruel to judge them. But there were so many questions they could’ve asked – what was this stepmother’s name? Was she real? Did she exist? Who had made the glass coffin? Surely one of them must’ve thought of the question. And why did it grow more opaque with every passing day?

Were they wrong to trust?

I guess it doesn’t matter now.

The moment the prince stepped into the subterranean chamber with the glass coffin, it shivered with a twinkling, plinking noise. Threads of glass exploded into glittering, razor-edged confetti.

A claw split the great glass cocoon.

The thing that spilled out of it, hulking and huge, knew in the fog of its mind, in a base animal sense that screamed, that it was in a room too small for it to fit. It wanted up. It wanted out.

In front of it was some twiggy little thing holding a sword.

It took its first breath.

The flames were the colour of cornflowers.

The dwarves fled. The thing followed close behind, up, up, up through the stone and the winding tunnels, not to chase, not to hunt, but to get up, to get out, out, out–

It struck the great stone doors at a run. They crumbled like gingerbread. And then there was sunlight, and the open sky…

And it could finally open its wings.

Convergent evolution is a hell of a thing.

The dragon, of course, lived happily ever after with its loot of gold and jewels from a hastily abandoned dwarf mine. Being much bigger than a caterpillar, we could accuse it of tricking the dwarves who were kind to it, had taken it in, had fed and clothed and warmed it.

It probably wouldn't mind.

I have so many bookmarks and physical books all on trying to understand how to write emotions and body language

writing is like

30% outlining

50% drafting

400% trying to find interesting, non-repetitive ways to describe uninteresting, repetitive body language.

Martian Manhunter joins the meeting and very quickly becomes Stitches obvious favorite.

This might be the point were its confirmed that Stitches used to be a (half) human teenager as Danny even as a cat would probably be mentally geeking out over a real martian

I am not immune to magical animal transformation fics. Also, my cat!Danny agenda. So, like, Damian finding a magically transformed Danny, mistaking him for a regular cat, then sneaking him into the manor obviously tickles my fancy. But also, Cat!Danny winning Alfred over by being a complete narc every time one of the bats try to do something stupid while injured is just... *chef's kiss*

Bruce- *trying to sneak down to the batcave while injured* Danny- *looking for mischief, sees injured Bruce swaying in hallway* Mrow? Bruce- Shh. Danny- *slightly louder* Mrep?! Bruce- I will give you all the tuna in the world if you- Danny- *air raid level yowling*
