Tim, in a coma

Dick- Isn't there something we can do?

Doctor- Unfortunately not. I'm sorry.

Jason- Hold my gun, I got this.

Jason, leaning close to Tim- Hey. We switched to decaf while you were out. Is it alright if we just dump out the caffeinated stuff?

Damian- Timothy, if you have any objections to my leaking your internet search history you'd better tell me now.

Cass- I took your credit card.

Steph- I'm going through your phone- Oh, wow! Look at all these shirtless pics of Kon!

Duke- Do you want me to take over your DND characters for you? I don't know how to play, but I'm sure it'll be easy to figure out.

Cass- I'm buying stuff with it.

Alfred- Master Timothy, you have a board meeting in half an hour.

Tim- I hate this fucking family.

Bruce asks dick (and only dick because his children aren’t allowed to be there at the same time) to go shopping but he ends up bringing

Cass who nobody can say no to. dick thinks it’s fine, it’s only one other person

Steph because cass insists they’re a package deal. It’s only two extra people, after all

Jason because ‘you never pick the right brand of olive oil’. The number of people is getting iffy, but dick lets it go

They find Damian already sitting shotgun. Dick tries to get him to leave, but apparently he needs ingredients for a science project. dick knows he’s in trouble with Bruce now, but at least it’s not everyone.

threyre halfway there when duke, at the end of his patrol, spots them. dick just sighs. what Bruce doesn’t know won’t hurt him, right? at least tim isn’t coming.

they arrive at the grocery store and dick goes to unload shopping bags from the trunk. Tim is sleeping there. dick doesn’t even want to know.

they end up racing the shopping carts down the aisles. Cass drives Steph, dick drives Damian, Jason drives a snoring tim straight into a tomato sauce display. Bruce Wayne has to make a ‘generous donation’ to the store. dick is grounded.

sleeping bait?

Based somewhat on that line “death’s cold embrace/the eternal sleep”, like when Danny, through whatever reasons you decide, came to DC universe and the different dimension stuff + half dead nature = energy drained Danny, who fell asleep without meaning to at the worst or best of times.

Imagine big, strong Red Hood got ambushed by a gang but got saved by a small, Batman’s adoption bait kid who just beat all the bad guys’ ass with a thermos and won. Once he finished, the kid plopped down on Jason like a particularly lazy, sleepy cat and just stayed like that, using the big man as his personal pillow 😆 

Maybe Jason brought him back to one of his warehouses but the next morning the kid was gone.

The same thing repeated with the whole other bat siblings and they just plotted to kidnap the kid back to the mansion, for Danny’s own sake of course.

decided to rewatch the Million Dollar Ghost episode and… guys. Vlad says the skeleton key (used later on to free Pariah Dark) can be used to “travel to any realm”.

…why don’t we use the key for crossover shenanigans???

Danny, too tired to phase back into the house, mixes up his house key and the skeleton key and accidentally steps through the doorway into a Completely Different World and just has to Deal With That with 0 preparation, almost no powers due to how tired he is, and like 2 hours of sleep in the past 4 days.

This leads to a very very tired Danny collapsing into the first bed he finds.

…Who’s bed it is depends on the crossover you want, but just think of the POSSIBILITIES of “finds Danny in their bed” being the first meeting.

Ninjago fans will find the most convoluted and stupid story lines with barely explored relationships and characters and then make the most gutwrenching piece of art youve ever seen.

Danny Phantom Headcanon:

Danny stared at the strange word in the pages of the book he was reading. He turned to the Ancient of Time, who was inspecting one of his glass mirrors. He glanced down and mouthed the word silently.

“Clockwork?”

“Yes, Daniel?”

“What’s a purge?”

The old ghost froze and everything fell deathly silent. All the gears that made up Long Now groaned to a stop, and the clocks on the walls ceased their ticking. Danny immediately knew he had asked something terribly wrong. He dared not move, feeling like prey under the predator’s gaze. The silence was stifling as the young halfa held his breath.

He could almost hear the echoes of pain from long ago, even though he didn’t know what they meant.

With a creak, the gears and clocks slowly resumed their work, (though the ticking sounded far more ominous than usual) and it was like nothing happened ever at all. Clockwork heaved a heavy breath, not turning to look at Danny once. “Some things, my boy, are better off left unsaid.” Was all he said.

It was never brought up again.

There are several things ghosts dare not mention: Obsessions, ghost cores, asking about their death, etc. They are considered very taboo. It’s also extremely disrespectful to ghosts to speak of these things. Basic 101 Ghost Culture.

But the one thing that is, by law, illegal to to even say the word without context, is Purging.

If a ghost is deemed to dangerous to exist, another ghost with authority over them can order a “Purge”. Purges are basically nightmare fuel for ghosts, and it is extremely taboo, the only exception is if the ghost threatens the entire dimension and the living alongside it (e.g., Dan) then is the act is allowed to be executed. But it is only allowed by the highest authority: the Monarch, whichever is the next reigning King or Queen.

Purges became very controversial after former Ghost King Pariah Dark started the practice. In fact, he was the one to invent it, and it reigned terror among his people.

A Purge, or the act of Purging, is the execution of a ghost by completely destroying their core, and erasing them from existence. Once the core has been destroyed, there is no chance of resurrection, reincarnation, revival, or rebirth. For them, there is no Afterlife. No moving on. They are separated from the Realm by their nonexistence and will never return. For them, there is nothing waiting for them, not even the deepest pits of Hell. There is no longer a ghost that will be eventually forgotten, only briefly known as the unfortunate soul who challenged another more powerful force.

With the sheer amount of ghosts that were killed by Pariah’s hand, the name was well-deserved, as it had been a long and bloody massacre.

This is not a private matter. Most Purges from the past were in public, in full view of any ghost who could stomach the sight.

After the defeat of Pariah, there were several decrees enacted to prevent such a massacre repeating itself. One was not allowing the Monarch to Purge others on a whim, and only allowing it in a last-ditch effort or, in pure desperation, to be ordered by the High Council.

There is no justification for Purging. The one who executes the act will not be tried under the law. To ghosts, it very very important to know that the Purger themselves will, in simple terms, be let off scott free with no blemish on their record; well, expect being feared for eternity and likely shunned.

After Pariah was forced into Forever Sleep, the act of Purging was wiped from history. Books and tomes and tongues of the past were banished and destroyed and forbidden to be mentioned. New laws were passed and Purging became the crime with the highest consequence: Banished from the Realm with a swing of Fright Knight’s sword.

The treasonous act is powered by the hindbrain with all inhibitions erased. It is a purely primal ritual with no way to stop or escape from. Once it has been ordered, there is no turning back. It is played out by both of the parties’ fears that is replicated in their actions. The core, physically attached to the ectoplasm that makes the physique of the victim, is torn from its tendons by the hands of the victor and is eaten. The victim feel every last second until they finally die for good. It’s basically the worst of ghostly cannibalism.

Unfortunately, Danny learns this the hard way.

Tim: So I overheard something at the coffee shop this morning. These two people were talking and one said that the person you are now is who you would have felt safest with as a kid.

Jason: Huh. Damn. I mean... I do protect the crime alley kids.

Tim: And I am... literally a version of Robin.

Cass: Ballerina. Hero. I love giving hugs. Yeah, makes sense.

Alfred: I never noticed that, but I guess I, too, grew into who I'd needed as a child.

Bruce, walking in wearing the Batsuit, covered in blood and scratches, holding a pissed off Damien under one arm and a kennel with a pissed off raccoon in the other: Someone tell Damien he can't have a new pet, someone else take this thing back to the woods, the rest of you please dismantle Damien's raccoon house, I'll be downstairs giving Dick stitches as he was the one who found that thing.

Damien: No! Father! Please don't get rid of Domino! I can train him to only attack our enemies! Just give me time!

Tim, Jason, Cass, Alfred, all side eyeing Bruce: Hmmm.

Short DPXDC Prompts #446

Danny is an airplane pilot. He wanted to be an astronaut but he realized that this was the closest to his life’s dream that he was going to get. Lucky for him: he becomes the pilot for the Wayne’s personal aircrafts.

Dc x dp idea 42

Danny destroys the portal after the GIW try and send an anti ecto missile into the portal a second time. The GIW and his parents had teamed up. GIW funding the fentons as they are the only people they know of who have successfully created a portal.

Danny also destroyed all records of how it was done. The reason for the destruction was because the citizens of the realm were tired of having to defend there home. If the human realm wanted to destroy them it was only fair to return the favor.

Danny gets a new identity courtesy of tucker. A Danny nightingale recently emancipated. Where better to hide out then one of the most crime ridden cities in America. Gotham.

Danny slowly falls into the bat’s clutches. Adoption sense went way off on him. He despises the Wayne’s. He only likes the vigilantes.

One day one of the Wayne’s approached him at the place he worked. Someone took a photo. Like a civilian taking a pic of a celebrity type situation. Just bragging about getting a photo of a Wayne.

The next day he is very publicly arrested. Like it’s a whole show. They accuse him of destroying government property and breaking into government labs only to steal from them.

Danny just starts yelling at them. He destroyed there portal to stop the other dimension from attacking this dimension. About how they had the audacity to tear a whole in the dimension to the infinite realms. One of the most deadly dimensions. That they should be thanking him for stopping the realm.

Then screaming about how the only thing he stole were the ghost they took hostage. If he didn’t break and free them then they would have sent someone like the fright knight. Did they really want to deal with a nightmare dimension.

The whole video goes viral.

all i want to do is write that one fic that takes people’s breath away and kinda lingers in the back of their minds. i want to write something that makes people want to make art and play with my versions of characters or in the universe i created. i want to be able to create worlds that feel real enough to walk into and write lines that stick with people until they forget where exactly they heard it because it lives in their bones now.

Danny decides to open a planetarium in Gotham. At first people only go there because it's one of the only neutral zones left (they're still trying to figure out how this human twig does it.) Then weird things start happening.

People start report seeing things during the shows. Little messages mixed with the stars. Some of the messages are simple like i'll always love you or it wasn't your fault or i miss you. But others are eerily accurate. Like don't forget to study for your upcoming physics test or you should move into those newer apartments. It'll be good for you.

Put simply Danny is doing something related to what he loves while also giving the departed of Gotham a way to say their last wishes to their loved ones. They in turn help him keep the planetarium safe. Not that he needs help but eh it's a nice win win scenario so he won't complain.

Too bad the bats don't see it that way. No clearly this guy is using some sort of mental manipulation hoodoo voodoo for some dastardly scheme. And they're going to get to the bottom of it.

So.

Jazz, Danny, and Elle move to Gotham for school. Jazz and Danny both at Gotham University while Elle decides she wants to go to high school.

Elle meets Damian and Jon and they just click. Flash forward a little and Elle is kinda crushing on Damian and Damian is trying to figure out what these feelings are toward his new friend.

The teen awkwardness is peak and the opportunity for cringe is plentiful.

Insert families’ perspective here.

The Bats are suspicious why Damian is coming home late from school sometimes and why he’s acting weird. It’s Dick that gets it out of him first of course and encourages him to bring Elle over sometimes instead of always going over to her apartment. Just-

“Father, may I bring someone over after school?”

“Damian, you don’t have to ask if Jon can come over.”

“He’ll be coming as well.”

Bruce actually looking up from whatever he was working on.

“You’ve made a new friend? Someone other than Jon?”

“That is correct.”

“Who is it?” Bruce asks after some silence.

“Her name is Elle Nightingale. She is in three of my classes.”

Bruce blinks.

“‘She’?”

“Yes. Elle is a girl, obviously. I didn’t realize you were going senile in your old age.”

Cue mass teasing from all of his siblings and even from Bruce about having a crush, especially when they see how he acts around her when she visits with Jon.

They predictably will do a background check on the girl and her family, immediately raising questions. Why was she homeschooled before 10th grade? Why does the eldest sister have custody? Why did they change their last name and move halfway across the country?

Then there are the Nightingales.

When Jazz easily sees the little blushes and the side-eyed glances, she sits Elle down for The Talk much to the horror of the teenager. Other than some supervision, she just gives them small encouraging smiles every once in a while, making them blush even more.

Danny on the other hand is between teasing his little sister and laughing at the young love, and going into protective brother mode and giving Damian subtle threats if he ever hurts his baby sister. He’s actually pretty okay with Damian (the kid seems too old fashioned to pressure Elle anyway) and they surprisingly bond over the most random things like dogs, finding new vegetarian recipes, and different mechanics or weapons Danny tinkers with in his free time.

I just think it would be super cute and funny. Especially when the families meet and it’s kinda chaos.
