My favorite flavor of Danny Phantom in the dpxdc universes is the ordinary on the first glance teenager who stands before an unimaginable, indestructible threat and throws his hands up to yell BITCH DO I LOOK LIKE I GOT TIME FOR THIS I GOT FINALS NEXT WEEK FUCK OFF and the threat retreats and crawls back where it came from

hey just for the record, if you’re on r/ao3 and keep running into these kinds of comments on bookmark related posts — it’s not a good take. calling someone’s writing “slop” and saying it deserves criticism for being bad BECAUSE it’s posted publicly might seem like a nuanced take, but I promise it isn’t.

yes, sometimes us writers get a little too obsessed over a cryptic comment or bookmark; no, that doesn’t actually mean the solution is to say whatever you want in them because authors “deserve” your honesty. 

I know we’re in a touchy time for readers and writers, but comments like these are NOT kind, refreshing, or nuanced. they’re just kind of mean and discouraging.

dropping them truth-bombs

I've read and enjoyed quite a lot of truth-serum fics that are Tim Drake-centric lately. And I've enjoyed practically all of them, but there's still one little itch that hasn't been scratched by reading them.

I would love to read a fic where Tim is completely unaware of these truth-bombs he's dropping and the effect they're having on the people around him. Of course that's seems hardly feasible through drugs, so let's call it a spell from Klarion as revenge for Tim trying to adopt Teekl ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

I just feel this need to read about Tim being put under observation (of course not allowed to go to work since he might drop bat-secrets to random employees) and suddenly saying these random things that come to mind.

To Jason: "You know, you were my favorite Robin? The first emotion I felt when I realized you were Red Hood was pure joy at the fact that you had somehow survived."

To Damian: "When I heard that somehow Bruce's bio-kid had shown up and joined the family I was ecstatic. I probably annoyed the fuck out of the other members of my team telling them I had a little brother to take care of and teach fun stuff to. Then we met and it was clear you didn't want anything to do with me. Not gonna lie, that was a pretty big hit to my feelings."

To Dick: "Did you ever realize how often you called me Jason back in the beginning? I never mentioned it of course. Could only hope acting as a sort of second chance for you was enough to make you happy. And of course it was selfish too, I was scared that if I drew your attention to the fact, that you'd stop hanging out with me cause you'd realize I wasn't actually Jason and could never be as good as him.

To Bruce: "I never even wanted to be Robin in the first place you know? Would've been happy just following you guys around taking pictures from a safe distance. But then I had to call 911 and lie about seeing a man being beaten up by some random rogue's goons. And then the guy died in the hospital and I knew that any choice I had died with him."

Of course there are some funny and happy truth-bombs too, like all the bats trying to stop Tim from telling Alfred about the one recipe of his everyone dislikes. Or Tim telling Cass that she's his favorite. But a lot of it's people reacting to what Tim says like Dipper and Mable in that GF episode where Grunkle Stan can only tell the truth.

Great news! Belgium today becomes the first country in the world where sex workers can sign a legal employment contract and gain access to all employment-dependent social security (which includes saving for a pension, paid pregnancy leave, paid sick leave etc.). It gives sex workers more rights and makes them less dependent on the goodwill of their employer because they now have state protection through a legal contract.

@theshitpostcalligrapher

For the last decade or so, I’ve been routinely attending a ride-on lawnmower race. I’ve always wanted to participate, but the high cost of used mowers is better spent on more practical vehicles, like literally anything else. Sometimes, though, the universe sends you a message. And in my case, that message came in the form of an awkward leg of a huge trade-in scam.

Picture, if you will, the humble redneck. They await the approach of big, fast domestic mowers. John Deeres, Cub Cadets, even weird modified Chinese stuff they looted from Aliexpress. There is jubilance, but that soon comes to an awkward hush. An unfamiliar engine note approaches.

My International 1480 combine harvester, all ten tons of it, is barrelling down the highway at a clip somewhere between “tepid” and “jaunty.” Even though I have shown up for a race, I am sandbagging a little bit, making sure that the bets get settled against my vehicle before I show them the might of a fully operational monster such as mine.

Technically, there is no violation. I had looked at the rulebook from every angle in the previous year: it has the correct number of wheels, the proper agricultural intent, and with precise work on the tiller, it can even (poorly) mow a suburban lawn. Is it modified? Oh yes, yes indeed, but I see the nitrous bottles poking out from the rows of Kubotas at the starting line.

And when I leave the starting line, it is a thing of beauty. At least for a few milliseconds. It seems that the wizards at International Harvester simply did not comprehend of a situation in which the frame of their combine would be launched into the air by means of one thousand eight hundred foot-pounds of supercharger-bolstered torque. I had erroneously believed that the loose soil of the rural community would let the wheels dip in, but now I am facing directly into the sky, having twelve o’ clocked hard on my wheelie, shooting flames from my exhaust and whirling vertical blades of death towards the grandstand.

It’s not about whether you win or lose. Sometimes it’s about how many pages you add to the rulebook.

DPxDC Idea

Danny working at Wayne Enterprises as some sort of engineer, uses the in-house app for all his blueprints and stuff

He starts getting notes from a coworker in-app, and assumes its this annoying older guy in his department who constantly undermines him because of his age, despite his education and past achievements (i feel like in this AU the Fentons react well to the reveal and they work together on a number of non-lethal ecto inventions that have Danny's name attached to them)

Except one day his coworker mentions never using the app, and Danny suddenly realizes there's only one other TD he could've been arguing with in the notes of the app

Prompt by: @shiwalkers-ineffability

DpxDc snarky danny lives in Gotham and is just trying to get a degree but keeps almost getting adopted by various members of the Justice League

“Listen, I’m not like 12 or whatever age you think I am, I am an adult that is going to his class at college, I am near graduation and would like to focus more on that then whatever issue it is you have with me.”

To be fair to Dick, the guy in front of him really did look like a middle schooler…a middle schooler that just came out of a package store with a bag filled with various types of alcohol.

The face glaring up at him still had baby fat, voice still at that young age, a little on the too thin side but not unhealthy yet…he looked like he just got back from the playground. How and why did the store owner sell him alcohol?

“I can see it in your face, it’s the same one all those other heroes had when they ran into me, I have an I.D., I have a job, I fucking pay taxes, I do not need help or supervision. Fuck off.”

And the guy was moving, short legs stomping away.

“Wait, hold on, I still have questions!”

There was a sigh and the kid turned around to stare at him, “What? I do not need the furry brigade busting into my apartment, so get what you want to ask out of the way. Fucking worse then red underwear guy back in Metropolis.”

“You mean Superman?”

“I don’t care what his name is, he thought I was a lost kid and took me to the precinct to call my parents. Got laughed at is all what happened.”

“What’s with all the alcohol?”

“College student, just aced an extremely hard and taxing test and me and some friends are celebrating and it was my turn to do the alcohol run and before you continue on with this, yes, the guy checked my ID, I’m old enough by several years. Just do your weird stalker thing and look me up.”

“Right, ‘weird stalker thing?,’”

“You are not and won’t be the last “hero” to make this mistake.”

Nightwing just smiled and tapped on his communicator, “Hey, Oracle-“

“-Tell Danny I said hi and leave him alone, this is a Babydoll situation.”

“Oh, um, Oracle says hi…”

“Glad she remembers me from the last couple of times, so tell her hello and goodbye, I’m on a schedule.”, and with that Danny was storming off.

“Oof, this happen a lot, O?”

“You have no idea.”

A soulmate AU where you have the last words your soulmate will say to you before they die as a soulmark would be very interesting with the Danny Phantom fandom.

Would the soulmark change after the portal accident, but then stay the same until Danny's final death? Or would the mark change every time he transforms because he's technically dead in his ghost form? Does the mark change color or fade when he's in his ghost form? Or does it stay the same?

What if his soulmate met him once when they were kids? They just bumped into each other. Maybe the words are generic, but maybe they're not. Maybe his soulmate has to grow up knowing that they'll never meet again. And then after Danny's accident, their soulmark changes. Do they assume that Danny was revived and they'll meet again someday? Or do they assume that their mark is for a new person?

What if the soulmark words are super generic? Everyday Danny and his soulmate meet. Everyday their mark changes. But, they can't figure out who the other is because their marks are basic greetings or apologies.

Maybe Danny's soulmark stays the same while his soulmate's keeps changing.

Danny is captured by the GIW. He's bound in anti-ghost containment shackles and trapped inside an anti-ghost cage, in the back of a truck, on it's way to a place he'll probably never be able to escape from.

His mom and dad won't know what happened to him. His friends will have an idea but won't be able to do anything about it.

There were no ghosts around that saw him get captured aside from Boxy, who is in the Thermos that the GIW have placed in another cage across from him.

Danny is well and truly fucked.

"...So they probably didn't think to make this soundproof, if they were focusing on making it so I couldn't even try to Wail. Hey, Superman, if you can hear me, I swear I'm not a bad guy; and even if I was, I don't think you'd think it's okay to vivisect me. Or experiment on me. Or, like, torture me for the rest of my existence, basically. You don't seem like that kind of guyyyyyyy-!"

Danny tries to brace himself as the truck is jerked into the air and stays there.

Then it lands in the middle of nowhere, the two GIW drivers are yanked out of the truck, and the back door is ripped open.

Supergirl stands there, and after taking a few deep breaths to stop looking so terrifyingly angry, she waves at Danny.

"Hope you don't mind, Superman's off-planet right now."

Some of these might be more from my family rather than average sayings, but I think they still count?

"To have is to have and to get is the art" why not try and see what you can get?

"There's a carnival in hell" It's raining while sunny

"It doesn't have a birthay in sundays" it is old

"Churchgoer!" when someone leaves the door open when they should've shut it.

"Is that bigger than a rabbit?" when you have absolutely no idea what the fuck this person is talking about

"His shirt is a size 38, but his collar is a size 42" when someone is very self-important.

In one dimension, it was only because of the sacrifice of his twin brother that Danny Al Ghul, now Danny Fenton, was able to escape the League of Assassins with his life. Damian died so he could escape and become a hero.

In another dimension, Danny Al Ghul took a blow meant for Damian during Deathstroke's coup. Danny died so he could survive and become a hero.

The Danny from dimension A is thrown into Damian's dimension B.
