#Constantine had a mental breakdown

[cosmic-dust-poltergeist]

Pt 4 of forever teen Danny adopted JJ Tim and Red Hood Jason. Sorry if you're a Batman or Nightwing fan, I'm not nice to them in this one.

[Pt3: Here][pt5: here]

The last 4 years have been a riot. Danny has 2 wonderful and slightly unhinged boys that he stole from the Bats. They've gotten in so many shenanigans, between normal vigilante shit, the Bats and/or ghost/supernatural hunters trying to bag them, and them just fucking around.

It's the most fun he's had in a while. They're good kids, but they, of course, have started branching out. They're 19 (Jason) and 17(Tim) now and don't necessarily want their dad following them around. So Danny gave them his personal summons just in case and made them promise to stay close together, the two of them are good at covering for the other's weaknesses. Like how Tim only being Liminal, he can take more hits from the ghost hunters that will clock Jason as a Revenant or Jason's supernatural strength taking out the bigger assholes that target Tim for his small size or Joker mannerisms.

So he tries not to worry, simply going to work and trusting them to either deal with any trouble themselves or summon him. And for 3 months they don't need to summon him once. But at the end of month 3, he feels it.

"Hey, Eddy! I got to go! My kids are in trouble!" Danny calls to his boss, already moving to somewhere there's less witnesses to see him poof.

"Okay! See ya! ...Wait, you have kids?" Danny doesn't answer, letting the summons take ahold and pull him through the fabric of reality.

A fun side effect of being summoned is that he always ends up in his High King form. The form is humanoid in the vaguest of sense. It's also just stars and the void of space. His eyes are giant stars and his mouth is too wide and full of rows and rows of needle-like teeth. A crown of ice smokes like dry ice on his head and the ring of rage is simple stripe of neon green on his right hand's middle finger (he thought it'd be funny to flip people off with it). All in all, he's terrifying for mortals to see unprepared.

And the cussing around him tells the people hassling his sons are NOT prepared.

"HOW THE FUCK DID YOU SUMMON THE GHOST KING???" A very distraught British man shrieks. Danny would feel bad, but this idiot is standing near the Bat and Nightwing AND Danny's sons are tied up in front of them.

"DAaaaAD!" Tim whines, flopping over to look at him. "They're trying to excorise Hoodie!"

"Are they now?" Danny hisses. His voice sounds like glaciers crashing together.

"Bats! What the fuck??? You didn't tell me THAT WAS THEIR DAD!" British man sounds on the brink of a mental breakdown.

"We've never seen this entity." Batman frowns.

"Yeah! They've been calling a ghost kid dad this whole time!" Nightwing defends. "How were we supposed to know they could summon this guy??"

"What...what did you say the "kid"'s name was?" British dude asks faintly.

"We didn't." Batman says.

"Weeell, Johnny-boy!" Jason sounds like he has a shit eating grin. "What they didn't tell you is our sweet ol' adoptive father is called Phantom~!"

"Oh goodie! We're so dead..." "Johnny" says and starts chugging his flask of probably alcohol. It suddenly clicks that this is the fabled John Constantine.

"You should know better than to take a job half-assed, John Constantine." Danny grins with teeth.

"Oh good, he knows my name.." Constantine mumbles to himself.

"Give me one good reason to not kill you all for trying to kill my son and kidnap the other." Danny waves a hand and slices his sons' bindings. "I have only been so patient with you bats because my sons are fond of you, but my patience is running out."

"Tim belongs with us! He needs help and healing!" Nightwing proclaims.

"I talk to a licensed therapist twice a week and take my meds every day! Try again, Big Birdie!!" Tim snarls. "Just because I'm not what you want me to be doesn't mean I'm a broken doll in need of saving!"

"Besides, don't you have a new bird to destroy?" Jason asks with a head tilt. "The second birdie died, the third got mentally fucked, the four died... I think we can count birdie #1 as mentally fucked up, meaning if we follow the pattern, birdie #5 will be mentally fucked by the time he flies the nest."

"How do you know so much about us, Red Hood?" Batman demands with a scowl.

"He doesn't have to tell you anything!" Tim steps in front of Jason and glares.

"I'm still waiting on a reason to not kill you." Danny reminds them. The bats look towards Constantine.

"Don't look at me, mates. That's head bitch of all head bitches. The fact he's letting you plead your case after threatening what he deems as his is a step up huge from most overpowered dead guys. From what I heard, the last guy would have just killed us the moment he was summoned and then destroyed the whole dimension afterwards. This guy beat that guy in single combat." Constantine pulls out a cigarette before addressing Danny, "Your Majesty, I had no idea these were your kids. I was just told a Revenant had kidnapped and "brainwashed" the ex-Robin. Clearly, I wasn't told accurate information."

Nightwing sputters, "What Do You Mean?? Clearly Tim has been brainwashed or something!!"

Constantine whips around to Nightwing, "Oh shut up, you big blue twit! King Phantom DESPISES mind control! Which means your ex-bird is with these two completely willingly."

"There's n-" Nightwing tries, but Constantine bulldozes on.

"I don't know what you did to the kid, nor do I care. But he's considered ROYALTY to the dead and undead now. He doesn't have to have ANYTHING to do with you. If you take him away from his new and apparently accepting family, that's considered an interdimensional crime, and no magician or supernatural or even god-like being will help you." Constantine takes a long drag of his cigarette. "I suggest you apologize, make your excuses, then leave them the fuck alone. Besides, crime has been at a record low in Gotham from what I hear. Let them do what they want. "

"That's because Red Hood keeps killing the Rouges!" Nightwing protests. "Who gives him the right to be judge, jury, and executioner???"

Constantine points to Danny and says flatly. "The ruler of basically everything, that's who."

Danny grins at him, his ghost half is very pleased with the man. "I shall spare you, magic man."

Constantine looks like he's going to faint from relief, moving to park himself by the door. "Just fucking apologize and leave them be, Bats."

"But!" Nightwing looks like he's going to cry. He turns his teary eyes to Tim. "Why can't you just come home, Timmy?"

"What home?" Tim stares down his nose at Nightwing, anger clear in his voice. "The Manor was Never my home. I was simply the stand in for your and B's grief for a boy you both pushed to his death. Phantom showed me what family really was. And that was AFTER I was too broken for you to accept. I was NOT Joker Junior then or now. I'm my own fucking person and I'm staying with the family that accepts me for ALL my oddities."

"You tried to put him in Arkham when he tried to go to you." Red Hood growls. "He wanted your support and help and you were going to lock him up and throw away the key."

"We were n-"

"YOU WERE!" Tim starts to trembling in hurt and rage. "You couldn't even look at me! I wanted you so badly to help me and you were going to put me in there right next to Harley! I wanted you to be my family, but I've only ever been a tool to you!"

"You weren't-" Danny doesn't like how the Bats seem ready to jump at his kids, so he freezes the Bats' feet to the floor.

"Shut up, Dickwing." Jason snarls, pulling Tim into a hug. "You lost your chance to be his brother 4 years ago. Go pretend to care about the new cannon fodder. We don't want to hear it."

"Hood." Batman finally speaks. "Who are you?"

"Who do you think, old man?" Jason takes his hood off for the first time ever in front of the Bats. They visibly startle, recognizing him despite all the changes.

"Ja-" The Bat starts.

"Shut up." Jason glares. "You were a shit dad and brother to me in life. I found the BEST family in death."

Danny picks up his boys, deciding to let them decide on the severity of the Bats' punishment. "Maiming or death?"

"... I say maim, but only because I know the newest bird and want him to stay out of the death cult his mother's in." Jason says softly. The Bats sqawk as they Just realize Danny froze their feet to the floor. Mortal tools and fire can't break/melt his ice, but it's amusing to watch the bats try.

Tim is quiet for nearly 3 whole minutes, locked in some sort of internal battle, before he answers. "Maim in a, at least mostly, healable way. Gotham needs Batman, even if we don't."

"Hmm." Danny ignores the Bats' protests to think about what he should do. "Ah! I know exactly what to do!"

He unfreezes their feet and gently forces both to the ground and processes to break both of Nightwing's legs and both of Batman's arms. He pulls one of their coms off and hands it to Tim, he's the only one that sounds normal on normal tech. Jason hasn't been able to use normal tech since Danny fixed his ecto, so Danny modifies anything he or Jason use.

"Hi, Agent A! Batgirl!" Tim's cheerful tone barely hides his seething rage. "You should send a pick up for Dickiebird and B-man! They need medical attention! Ba-bye~!"

Danny can hear the shouting over the com, but Tim simply yeets it towards the Bats instead of listening to whatever they have to say.

"I have a reason for the injuries I picked." Danny informs the room. Jason and Tim look intrigued, Constantine looks exhausted and slightly guilty about the Bats getting hurt on his watch, and the Bats themselves look dazed and in pain, so who knows if they'll remember his reasonings. "Nightwing is an acrobat and truly a bird, so grounding him is cruel, but hopefully he feels as small and helpless as you both did. Grounding him will give him time to think on his actions and their consequences."

Danny's sons look curiously at the grounded Nightwing before looking back to him.

"I broke Batman's arms so that he's forced to ask for help and communicate. He's far too old for his shitty behavior." Danny frowns. "They both need therapy, but I doubt the flying furries will actually get the help they need."

Tim suddenly cackles in delight. "Maybe THEY should check THEMSELVES into Arkham! Ya know! Since they think I, the one ACTUALLY getting help, should be in there!"

Jason starts cackling alongside his brother while Danny chuckles.

"I shall take my children home now, good day." Danny says while wrapping his sons in his invisibility and intangibility and takes them home. A cozy 3 bedroom apartment on the top floor of a building Jason owns as Red Hood.

Little late night thought (I am not a writer, my portrayal of the character may be off and I apologize. Don't smite me):

Yan!Batfam x Neglected!Reader but Reader is Yuu from Twisted Wonderland. So how I imagine it would go is how every neglected!reader fic begins, the biological father (Ol' Brucie) picking them up and passing them onto Alfred or Alfred picking reader up. Either way, reader lives at the the mansion and has seen all of the Batsibs at their worst and at their best.

They were brought in maybe around the same time as one of the Batboys in their robin era, most likely around Tim's cuz students at Night Raven College are usually around 16-18 (20 if you count Leon and don't get me started on Malleus and Lilia). Anyways, plot ensues. Reader does their best to get attention, Batfam ignores them or pushes them away or in Damian's case, terrorizes them.

It's a nightmare for you but as the years go by, you slowly get used to being on the sidelines and just waiting until they can legally get the heck outta Gotham. That plan goes to shit when one rainy day, Alfred is too busy with the boys so you get stuck waiting until it starts to get dark and begin walking. Just as you begin crossing the road, you hear the galloping of hooves before your vision begins fading. Last thing you see is a black carriage pulled by two black horses that holds an eerie and mysterious aura.

Twisted Wonderland shenanigans go as usual. Grim, Ace, Deuce, nearly getting killed by overblotted dwarf, so on and so forth. Back in Gotham, Batfam is unconsciously feeling the effect reader's disappearance has. First to grow worried shortly after you had disappeared is Alfred, as the person you spent most of your time with when he could of course. Next is Damian, surprisingly, because he is the second person you have spent time with due to the one-sided fighting and bullying. He approaches Alfred before approaching Bruce, who is now very much distraught that he hadn't noticed you were missing. Dick is in denial for a bit before shortly facing reality, Jason is blaming Bruce but is also mad at himself and is kinda lashing out, Tim regrets ignoring and pushing you aside. Basically, Batfam is going through several stages of emotional distress, grief and mental breakdowns and is spending half, if not most of their time looking for you or any clues as to where you are while learning about your life in the mansion while you are (trying to) living your best life in NRC with your besties and people who actually care about you while trying not to die from a crashout at every new dorm. Dunno if twisted wonderland guys would also be yanderes, normal, one or two maybe or if there would just be one but they aren't that bad (more soft yandere than anything).

Thoughts?

edit: forgot to add that maybe they slowly get transported there at random at some point in the story (starting with Damian first most likely) or they have constantine do something with magic to find them and batfam splits up, half to go get reader and half to protect gotham.

Part 3 of fanfic writer/fan art drawer reader.. What do you think is the reaction of other villains to the fanfics? I feel like since reader already wrote fanfics of the batfams.. She'd include the people that knows them.. Like Superman x Lex Luther or Batman x Superman x Lex Luther.. Basically, stuff like that..

I want to know the reaction of the villains and their opinion of reader. (We already know that joker likes reader)

-🔱

I hear your Lex x Superman, and I raise you, Omega!Batman x Alpha!Penguin (I'm already laughing, can't see the screen from the tears btw.)

We're talking about this part one and this part two it's just crack. Pure fun.

Ok- first, Lexy- I think he's the type of person that by 10 pm he's dead to the world, not counting events and the few times he wakes up and needs to complete his weekly scheming, so, at 3 am on the clock, he wakes up sweating full of dread as he remembers that ONE time a student of some university he spoke at asked about him being in love with Superman.

The reason he gave? A specific fic written by one jokergagglingbatsballs35, where they go into detail on how his obsessive tendency of fighting Superman is clearly just the same yearning that Joker has for Batman. If he wasn't busy with the constant PR problems and his plans against Superman, he would have found you before the Joker. In the end, he doesn't, but the event still haunts him.

On the other hand, Superman is just digging their holes tbh. "Oh, we used to be friends, actually." and "I wish we still were," and xyz is just making the people who read the fanfics think that jokergagglingbatsballs35 is a 40 years old psychologist who sees right through everyone and just found a way to call it what it is without being sued.

Harley, if asked, she'll lie to your face, but she is the biggest Batman x Joker shipper as a guilty pleasure (she wants to see Joker being thrown around like a ragdoll) but her favorites are the Catwoman x Ivy x Harley fics batsis writes.

Selina and Pamela don't really care, but Selina has read one fanfiction regarding Batsy x Joker you wrote and had to put her phone down because from 8 pm it turned into 9 am and she had to reconsider her life choices.

You'd never write the sirens x Batman because you respect the girlies too much and don't think your father is capable of a stable relationship with one of them, let alone a polycule. BUT you do write Bruce Wayne x Two-Face.

Harvey doesn't care, he's heard his men whisper about it, but he brushes it off as something bored teens do to stir drama(which, he is right about).

Now, you've written exactly one Penguin x Batman, Omegaverse, Angst No Comfort, Major Character Death, and after you finished it, you had to take a week break for your mental health.

Cobblepot knows. He's read it out of morbid curiosity and has learned terms he wishes he hadn't. He's impressed and terrified and has buried the knowledge deep in the back of his mind. Now, every time Joker is mentioned, he shivers or twitches.

There's no way Waylon or Bundy know what is going on the internet, or what the internet is, respectively, and you honestly ship them with therapy.

...

John Constantine follows you on every social media and leaves likes on every x John Constantine you write, almost shed a tear on the King Shark x him, enemies to lovers to enemies you wrote. He also reads the Batman x Joker ones when Bruce annoys him.

Slade only knows about you because one of your edits ended up on the news, and he almost choked on the Chinese takeout he was eating. He doesn't care that much, but if those edits of him being the badass turn into a fail compilation of him tripping over his feet while walking, he'll have a bone to pick.

Jason has a mental breakdown when Red Hood starts being tagged into your Red Hood x Joker fic, and stupidly tries to go to you for comfort, only to be told to grow up.

If a Robin/Nightwing x Slade fic got popular, not yours specifically, any in general, Dick is puting Jason's breakdown to shame- he will cry and then try to go out for a "talk" after he finds who wrote it.

Speaking of- I mentioned how Cassandra already knows, the second to know is Duke. He's in denial. Steph knows because Cass was sloppy one day after you were "kidnapped" by Joker and it slipped her tongue. It was all the blonde needed to jump from the "yeah, that's fucked up" boat into the "this the best shit ever" boat.

Damian, Barbara, and Alfred are "too old"™️for such childish things. Alfred knows. He knew as soon as he found you furiously typing away on your laptop, and all you could say was "Omegaverse penguin x batman".

Dick, Jason, and Bruce find out at the same time, but by that time you're already in metropolis and planning to change your name and buy a little house in the country side somewhere.

I, however, feel batsis has bad luck, and someone would notice her and question it- maybe a Super being like "heyyy... You look oddly familiar. Have I seen you anywhere?" And batsis is just smiling and sweating bullets as she tries to keep her heart in check, knowing damn well they've met at a gala or in the batcave. "Nope."

Okay hear me out, I was re-reading your determination au! I just remenber your magical girl reader, so what would determination reader and magical girl reader think about eachother? Do You think they would get along? Kudos!

Omg they Would get along like a house on fire

I’m so glad someone brought this up because them interacting would be hilarious and I’ve had a funny idea in my head of magical shenanigans happening and then swapping places or something.

Determination! Y/n is a very laid back and easy going person but holds a Herculean amount of trauma on their shoulders. They’re typically very upbeat and friendly but occasionally they have moments of slipping into memories when things get too quiet or something reminds them of something they’re slowly forgetting. Meanwhile magical girl y/n is someone who was forced to grow up too fast and bears the weight of the universe on their shoulders, alongside being deadpan as hell due to her circumstances.

I’d imagine if they met determination! Would ease magical girl pretty quick due to how chill they are. They don’t press magical girl for information they just sit down beside her and it eases into easy conversation. I imagine determination! Is someone who is just easy to talk to, which is something magical girl appreciates due to feeling as if her deadpan responses scare people off (which she used to intentionally do due to her believing that her task was hers to bear alone). Both of them have a lot of trauma on their shoulders but meeting someone with a similar experience really helps the two of them. Determination! Would tell magical girl that she shouldn’t have to do her task alone while magical girl would tell determination! That they shouldn’t have to feel as if dying alone endless times is or was ok either.

Both of them would think that the other desires better than what they got in life. But both of them are glad that the other also now has people who care for them truly.

The two would also be chaotic as hell together because you have “chill, will literally do anything stupidly dangerous because there are no physical consequences” + “the most stone faced teenage girl you’ll ever meet with street smarts and the will to fight god over a piece of stale bread if she has to survive” = unending situations for funny shit.

Ok enough with the angst and for the funny haha

Since they’re both reader inserts they’d both look alike except for small features like clothes, age and eyes (for determinations case) so imagine if magical stuff happened and they accidentally switched places.

The Batfam would be freaking out calling Constantine while determination! Is just sitting beside Jason and Damien. They all pause out of panic mode when this poor child starts saying shit like “wait you died too?! How many times? Were you eaten once too?” And then have to unpack that while a younger pirate gender neutral version of their new sister/daughter just drops that bombshell. Don’t even get me started on the villains or other hero’s. Klarion looks like he’s about to blow a fuse when they mention that they were once kept as a slave and still suffer from ptsd (mind you determination says this like it’s not a big deal that they still suffer mental ramifications) while Constantine nearly starts sobbing when using magic and seeing just how much this poor kid has been though while they stare up at him innocent to the mental breakdown he’s on the brink of having. There is now one thing he hates more than Rigel and it’s determinations entire reality because how can a child go through all of that and still suffer more. One a side note here I like to think determination would enjoy watching the Batfam just be a family even if it isn’t their own. They’d also go talk about the straw hats a lot, comparing certain things to the others or maybe even Roger.

But in typical determination manner y/n would make their impact as usual. Talking to Jason and telling him that while coming back from death is hard in their experiences it gets easier with time even if the wounds never properly heal, eventually it becomes a dull throb instead of burning sizzle. With Bruce they say they can still see the young boy he once thought was dead, still lingering inside himself as the burning dream to ensure others didn’t go what he went through. For Damien it’s saying that it’s never too late to be a kid no matter how grown up he feels, their well over 50 and their still a child. For dick it’s saying that he never asked for what happened to him to happen, and it’s not his fault, it never was even if his mind and perpetrators say so. For Tim it’s the fact he’s not a replacement, they’d been around long enough to know that one human cannot replace another no matter how similar they may be.

Another Side note: poor Batfam dealing with determination nearly walking into head on traffic or literally every single dangerous situation known to man. This child has no self preservation skills whatsoever and it scares them to death when seeing them go *shrugs* “guess I’ll die then L”

On magical girls end she wakes up on a fucking pirate ship surrounded the strawhats who are freaking the fuck out. Where is their storyteller?!? Who the hell is this and…why does do they look weirdly similar? Oh no…

Yeah it’s a bit of a confusing situation but as poor magical girl is sitting there contemplating her life choices Nami quickly takes the initiative and promptly tells everyone to call the fuck down. Robin follows quickly after along with Jimbe in settling the others as they try and figure out the situation, wouldn’t be the first time weird stuff happened in the new world (let alone with determination knowing their penchant) and then Rigel speaks up saying that their in a different universe and that whoever the original y/n was swapped places with magical girl. That not only helps clear the air but also now alerts the strawhats of the talking ferret that Luffy then quickly takes to ogle over as chopper does the same finally having an animal friend who can speak.

Magical girls time on the sunny would be honestly pretty good if not odd. Robin and Nami quickly take to her and practically hounds the others into ensuring they don’t overstep boundaries. Boundaries that magical girl doesn’t really have in the first place besides please don’t steal my food or get super touchy. Both would also teach her about their world and do their best to help her adjust, going out of their ways to make her comfortable for the time being whether that be having Sanji make her good familiar to her or having her help with activities to make her feel included. The others meanwhile are all doing their best to make sure she’s doing alright even if she’s acting like a stone slab about the entire situation.

Sanji invites her to help him cook, something she’s pretty decent at due to having to do so alone for years and now helping Alfred in the kitchen. He ends up treating her like a little sister, some of that good ole family trauma bubbling back up because she reminds him a bit of Reiju but in a good way (she has Reiju’s kindness hidden under the cold mask). To be honest for awhile he’d think that she didn’t like him until she mentions that he reminded her of one of her older brothers with a small smile cracking through her cold complexion. After this Sanji works like clockwork with her in the kitchen, they even end up trading some recipes with each other.

Zoro is awkward and keeps a small bit of distance but always has an eye on her protectively. He doesn’t know that she can fight nor that she can pick up the Sunny with her bare hands so he kinda tries to act as an aloof guard. To be honest though he’s just a bit worried that he’ll end up somehow hurting her. He’s already decently cautious with determination but with them he at least knows that they’ll reappear if something goes wrong. With her she doesn’t have that second chance and it messes with him a lot more than he’d like. It reminds him of kuina, that something as simple as a fall down the stairs can change everything. Once seeing her bare hand pick up the anchor makes him ease up though now knowing she can handle herself. He’d actually come to respect her quite a bit and ask her to help train, he also ends up showing her his swords when she mentions Damien’s collection.

Ussop does not know how to handle teen girls especially one with her dead ass face, but he does his best even if he’s very much intimidated by her. He does his best though and tells her his grand adventures that are definitely very much 100% real and not fake. Unknownst to him she eats up his tales even if she knows they’re embellished. Quite honestly she finds him to be really funny and the only “normal” person on this boat besides Jimbe. She appreciates she can talk to him about how absurd all of this is and he can sadly nod and pat her on the shoulder saying “first time?”. He nearly cries when she says that she genuinely enjoys his company.

Chopper meanwhile becomes magical girl y/n’s lil buddy. She finds him absolutely adorable and is internally freaking out because “cute talking animal mascot!”. Besides that she genuinely finds chopper to be a little cinnamon roll, she finds it adorable how bashful he gets and when he does his little dance whenever she compliments his skills. They both bond over a love of pink lol. As mentioned above chopper is extremely excited to meet Rigel due to now having comparison ship of another animal that can speak to humans, something he’d always wanted. Though Rigel is cryptic he enjoys Rigels presence due to the ferrets good suggestions when it comes to medicine.

Franky and magical girl y/n are a hoot together lol. He’s watching her transformation sequences and watching her demonstrate how she can change her weapon to anything she wants and is giving suggestion to make it more flashy. He teaches her his pose and she now occasionally does it because it’s funny af. Besides that he’s really curious about the technology of her world and the fact that she knows a cyborg!. As the only enjoyer of cola on the boat he’s very happy to have another enthusiast who enjoys the sugary drink (though for her it’s more something to keep her awake because coffee was too expensive)

Brook and her keep making bone jokes and talking about the inevitability of death. She’s not really freaked out by him due to villains such as lord death man, she honestly finds him to be funny as hell and teaches him songs from her world. More specifically pop songs and blue oyster cults don’t fear the reaper for comedic reasons. She doesn’t get why he sometimes looks vaguely nostalgic when he looks at her, unbeknownst to her he’s wondering if determination! Would’ve looked like her if they could age.

As mentioned before Nami takes to looking after magical girl immediately upon her arrival. To be completely honest, Nami can’t be surprised anymore when it comes to weird stuff happening due to determination! So she just rolls with it as best she can to stop the oncoming migraine if she thinks about it too hard. She likes being there for magical girl partially for the fact that she never got to be a regular teenage girl due to arlong. So she does her best to ensure some level of normality for the girl not knowing that magical girl also didn’t have a childhood of her own. In a sense Nami heals some of her own trauma by ensuring that magical girl is safe and fulfils her dream of wanting to have a little sister of her own. Growing up she’d always wanted a little sister due to nojiko’s occasional teasing. Magical girl and Nami eventually end up pretty close and bond even moreso when both talk about their respective traumas.

Robin and magical girl also equally end up pretty close for yet another trauma reason of growing up alone lol. Both of them as children depended mainly on themselves to get by and Robin can just tell it’s that brand of trauma by just looking at magical girl because she at one point was very similar to her. So it’s safe to say both take to one another really quick because Robin knows when others are overwhelming her and magical girl kinda gets the instinctual feeling that Robin went through something similar. I’d like to think that as a pass time magical girl would tell Robin about her worlds history as best she can from her limited memory of history classes lol, Rigel fills in the rest while on robins shoulders nibbling on a snack Sanji made. Both of them 100% make dark humour jokes while most of the crew stare on horrified because she looks exactly like Robin when she makes a joke all the while Robin giggles.

Jimbe would probably be really awkward with her at first due to the fact that he doesn’t have much experience with teenagers. Sure, he’s dealt with kids (koala) but teens are an entirely separate thing that he’s yet to really dip his toes in despite half the crew just turning into legal adults lol. But despite his initial nervousness magical girl really does end up liking him quite a bit. He reminds her a lot of Alfred in how he’s a voice of reason and dependable. Along with that she finds him being a fishman really interesting due to her friendship with Waylon. To be honest another reason he was nervous around her was the fact of his race, but he quickly learns that doesn’t matter to her when she’s friends with a crocodile man and an eldritch horror beyond human comprehension. Yeah, he quickly feels a lot less nervous and more anxious for the fact she’s somehow friends with genuine super villains.

Luffy at first doesn’t know how to feel around her and is a bit uncertain but comes around when realizing she’s kinda like robin and then he does a full 180. Suddenly he’s practically begging her to do fun stuff with him using her powers and is hanging off her once he sees how strong she is. He kinda acts like a feral little brother something she’s mostly used to due to Damien, though Luffy’s antics are less stabby and more so about stealing metrics tons of food from poor market owners. With how emotionally aware Luffy is when it comes to people he cares for I think he’d pick up pretty fast her emotions despite her being very stoic. Like for determination! He’d speak up for her when she doesn’t voice her wants aloud. He just kinda develops a 6th sense for when she wants to say something and immediately clears the way for her lol. Both would end up treating each other as siblings and despite being older than her he’d end up fitting the younger sibling role, he’s dragging her into his stupid shit while she just rolls with it not even hiding her amusement anymore. On another note he loves Rigel, but somehow clocks early that he’s some eldritch being and laughs it off as him being a space ferret. Meanwhile Rigel is wondering how in the hell this 18 year old rubber boy has godly powers hidden just beneath the surface lol.

The Foundation vs Manus Vindictae

This idea was inspired by @ihaveforgortoomany ‘s post here!

It’s so fun that the story makes sure we know and see that the difference between The Foundation and Manus is the head start the Foundation has on being an established organization, and whether they pretend to be good. This is also like you said, a big part of why the Foundation wants to restore time. They had a massive advantage in being a long time establish organization. In Regulus’ time, it was implied from her reaction the Foundation had full authority to approach Arcanists and register them, or at least strongly convince them to join. Manus tries to have a persona of salvation over pure goodness but this is maintained moreso because they can’t actively gaslight people.

If you look into The Three Doors and see how people were affected by the incomplete version of the Artificial Somnambulism. They were going insane because it was never a good machine with good intent. It was made to use frequencies to manipulate the mind of an arcanist. While Laplace employees use the machine in order soothe injured arcanists or panicking ones, that doesn’t mean they’re not brainwashing members. They bend reality for these people to comfort them but that comfort is built on dependence and complete trust of the Foundation. Which is why on of my theories is that the AS is a reason Arcanists have mental breaks so frequently in the Foundation, the Manus has breakdowns within their ranks however that’s from exposure to the Manus Masks carrying The Storm chemical within them. Name Day in Getian’s character story event even has a mention that the AS is very dangerous for the way it gets into someone’s head, and Getian breaks into it because he had experienced something similar. He’s then able to have them see what he wishes. Taking what Jessica saw in [The Old One Flew Over the House], the AS is also used as a training tool for arcanists and a way to get true test answers out of them. Why would she need to take her exam in the AS when she could simply answer Foundation staff 1-1?? There’s no point of it besides getting into Arcanist’s subconscious. The reason this doesn’t work on Vertin anymore is because she holds zero trust for The Foundation anymore.

I think Arcanists in general tend to take a lot more mental stress from contradictions in their heads, for instance people create false memories if they have a gap in their memory because the brain doesn’t like having gaps there. We’d rather lie to ourselves or create a false reality than deal with pure unknown, but with The Storm no one knows what anything will be next.

After the events of Book 3, Vertin no longer places her trust in the Foundation because she knows what Constantine did. Madam Z wasn’t able to find out in time to save them, so Vertin watched her classmates disappear in front of her because Constantine wanted to unlock the potential in her. She then went on her own journey to record the eras directly, without being able to save anyone. Vertin won’t ever leave The Foundation because their goals align, but she might one day near the end of the story work with Madam Z to overturn the current system. Sonetto on the other hand has an imminent fate of her loyalty breaking towards the Foundation. She already suspects them of being morally corrupt at least to her standards, and she’s torn between choosing them and Vertin. From how we see her trust Vertin in [A Nightmare at Greenlake] + how she doesn’t make any comment on following the rules when Horropedia is blatantly breaking them, I think her loyalty switches to Vertin at some point.

Also a big theme is that Manus and Foundation both very much consider people expendable. The Manus treats weaker arcanists and humans blatantly as canon fodder, but Constantine sacrificed a group of children because they were defectors (Horropedia makes a note about how their actions had the entire school talking to the point they ran out of space to discipline them) and it might push Vertin to want to go out into The Storm to find a cure in the Name of Peace.

KIKUFUKU OF LOVE— gojo satoru x gn! reader.

synopsis in which you, take 5 days to decide what to get for gojo satoru’s birthday. happy birthday my love 💕💕 come back to me n our children at home pls ☹️🤭🤭.

# a little mention of breakdown, fluff! hehe wc 1.2k+

3RD DECEMBER

"I'll be back in a week, don't miss me too much baby! mmm" He said with a mouthful of kikufuku, licking his sugar-coated fingers and everything. How annoyingly cute.

You rolled your eyes teasingly. "I think it's you who will be missing me."

Your boyfriend, Gojo Satoru is out on misson for a week, and will only be back on his birthday. — What perfect timing.

You've been wanting to surprise him with a gift for his special day. After all, birthday comes by only once a year.

But what could you possibly gift a man who's rich—Surely he has the money, he could afford anything he wants, so what could you get the man who can afford anything and everything?

4TH DECEMBER

To say you don't miss your boyfriend is an understatement, of course you miss him. He called you when he arrived his hotel earlier, you didn't want to bother him when he's working so you decided to just wait for his next call.

Last year on his birthday, you surprised him with a birthday party along with a Vacheron Constantin, 18K 5N Rose Gold watch that costed you your two kidneys. However upon seeing his reaction made it all worth it.

Of course he loved it, you bought it,— his darling bought it.

To him, it meant more than just a gift. Some people believe one should keep it because of the money— ‘it’s expensive! that's why you have to treasure it forever’ — but growing up in a prestigious clan, no one would’ve wanted to celebrate birthday’s with the six eyes and limitless user. So imagine his reaction when you surprised him with a birthday party.

"I bought this for you."

"It reminded me of you." — It touched him that you were thinking of him.

You thought of him.

He cried in your arms that day, thanking you profusely.

So from that day on, you've decided to give him a present every year for his birthday. Not because you like seeing him vulnerable but because you want to show him that he, who came from a prestigious clan, is someone deserving of love.

Your love.

5TH DECEMBER

“SHOKOOOO i can’t think of any gifts for him” You cried in your best friend’s arm, ranting about how incredibly difficult it was to buy a present for your boyfriend.

Shoko, who had enough of your complains and whines, still listens— that’s one of the qualities you love about her.

“I’m sure he’ll love anything you give him YN. It’s Gojo Satoru you’re talking about. If you’re still clueless, you can try asking Nanami for help, you know?” She patted your back, heading out of the room you both were in.

To your despair, Nanami was nowhere to be found. Apparently he was out training Yuji and will only be back in 3 days. Surely you can’t wait that long! Which has resulted you into asking Megumi.

“That idiot loves kikufuku. I’m sure he’ll love it if you give him that but I know he’ll love anything that you give him.”

You sighed, that is indeed true. Sometimes you wonder how one can eat kikufuku continuously non-stop without getting tired of it. Not that you mind, you love how chubby his cheeks get when he stuffs the kikufuku desserts in his mouth. —how annoyingly cute. You miss him. Just by the thought of the sight tempted you to get that dessert.

6TH DECEMBER

6 December. How could you forget? You had a meet-up with your friends from middle school but you have yet to get Satoru’s gift.

Surely it won’t take long. Your head reassured your worries.

Oh, how were you wrong. You were supposed to have a fun little chit-chat session at the cafe you used to visit during your teenage days.

6pm became 8pm, 8pm became 10pm.

You’re walking along the streets, mentally cursing yourself. The time on the watch Satoru bought for you said 11pm. And you’re having a mini breakdown because you weren’t keeping track of time. You’ve never been good at managing your time. — Well not after you dated Gojo Satoru.

He’d always remind you to take breaks in between your work because you simply can’t give yourself a break. To other people, you’ve been told a workaholic, but to Gojo Satoru, you’re just someone who works harder than others. And for that, you too, deserve a break.

Oh how you miss him.

As you walk down the shops along the pathway leading to your shared apartment, you stole a quick glance on the kikufuku bakery shop that your boyfriends loves.

‘Limited Edition Flavour — GET IT NOW! Today’s the Last Day’

Your eyes lit up. That was the flavour he’s been dying to try but it was always sold out. You ran in without a second thought and bought it as a gift for your boyfriend.

“That idiot loves kikufuku. I’m sure he’ll love it if you give him that but I know he’ll love anything that you give him.” —Surely he’ll love it, right, Megumi?

6TH DECEMBER 11.56pm

You’re sitting on the balcony of your shared home, waiting for his arrival. He might not even come home exactly on his birthday so why wait? — Even though he always said there was no need to wait up for him, you end up doing the opposite. You love waiting up for him even if it means falling asleep on the couch while waiting.

The cold breeze gave you goosebumps on your skin, and you began biting your nails. —A habit of yours, in which Satoru kisses your fingertips in an attempt for you to stop. What if he doesn’t like the gifts you got him? Hell, it was just kikufuku from your local bakery shop. You started pacing around the house, completely unaware of the sound of the keys.

“Sweetheart?”

Were you dreaming? Or was it the voice of your lovely boyfriend?

7TH DECEMBER 12.00AM

You moved from your previous position and jumped straight into Satoru’s arms which he got taken aback but recovered quickly when you felt his arms wrapped around your back.

Oh how you missed him.

“Someone misses me that much h-?”

You placed a finger on his mouth, cupped both his cheeks while leaning your foreheads together, and softly, you said “Happiest of birthday My Satoru. My gift is waiting for you in the kitchen. It’s not much but I-”

He cut you off by kissing your salty-tasted lips. Where were the lips that tasted like strawberries— the strawberry flavoured chapstick he loved so much?

Had you been crying?

He broke the kiss, and walked you both to the kitchen, never letting you go as if you were as fragile as a newborn baby. He sat you on the counter beside the bakery box decorated with ribbons that matched his beautiful cerulean eyes and smiled, immediately knowing what was inside. — His s/o got him the limited edition kikufuku flavour he had been dying to try!

One of his hands rested on your waist while the other squished your cheeks. You squealed.

“Don’t worry about it, sweetheart. I enjoy my birthday best with you and your presence is the best gift. That makes everyday my birthday sweetheart, Thank you and I love you.” He kissed your forehead.

It was as if he read your mind. He knew how to clear the doubts in your head.

You covered your face with your palms to cover both your face and hide your sniffles. — You’ve always said you hate how cheesy he gets but— Oh how you love it. And he knows you love it.

He pried your hands away from your face and pinned them above your head. That action made you look up at him. His beautiful snow white hair and cerulean eyes. You pray that one day, your children will inherit those features of his that you love so much.

“Don’t be shy now baby I’m gna’ unwrap my present now”

The next thing you know, his lips found yours again.

a lil bonus! ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

Do you think Vertin know about madam z and Constantine's association? Like how madam z could've prevented the breakaway incident.

A part of me thinks that Vertin is smart enough to figure it out years ago...

But like another part of me really likes the potential of this, the *angst* cause yes I am a edgy bitch. The mental breakdown of Vertin upon learning one of the most trusted person she had actually backstabbed her years ago. **The potential**

Cause let's be real madam z. if not else, guilty by association, if a person had a chance to stop a tsunami but decided not, even if she wasn't the one who caused the tsunami she still didn't stop it.

I think Vertin already forgave her. She mentioned she knew Madam Z wasn't part of the game Constantine was playing. In a way, Madam Z is like her. They are both pawns, however, they have grander plans. Madam Z has also been looking out for Vertin in a way which we can see in story but also in the amount of respect Vertin speaks to her with.

What I wonder, is how does Madam Z feel about it? Does it haunt her? Does she ever feel the guilt when she looks at Vertin? Does she remember the way Vertin sank to the floor in the rain after the Storm took her friends?

Vertin may have forgive Madam Z, but does Madam Z forgive herself for not acting sooner?

This also makes me think of Vertin's experiment with Regulus. She wasn’t sure if it'd work and she never got a chance to explain to Regulus what she was up to (because of Sonetto's interference and Regulus running away). Regulus could have been erased! She is willing to make those insane, drastic measures...kinda like Constantine tbh...BUT she does it with consent and considers other people's well-being in her scheme. She actually cares about the lives that get tangled up in her tragic story.

[arkhammaid]

i'm curious.. you mentioned that you have many drafts, which would you love to finish? (and maybe post)

literally all of them-

no but seriously. i have a few favorites amongst my ideas which have been written out by a few sentences/paragraphes and just have been stuck like this forever because i just... dunno. don't have enough brainpower to fully write the idea out

much much yapping about some of my fic drafts rotting on the fic graveyard below the cut <3 i warned you... i wrote so much...

f1 fic drafts

son of helios!oscar

this fic is a weird mix between greek mythology and... my love for oscar. basically, oscar's biological father is helios, who, unlike the greek gods, still exists because he IS the sun. his mom did some praying (unintentionally) and asked for a son. helios gave her one. he is also a very present father and also loves oscar's sister's like his own children. yada yada, some background history of oscar's childhood and speculation of the grid about this unknown man who always seems to be around oscar but isn't a family member (can you tell... i'm a whore for outsider pov)

logan/max time travel fic

you guys know these drafts exist, so you should also know that these are just... existing and not doing much more. lol

omega!charles x omega!max

this is... just. brain barfed onto paper, i literally have snippets of outsider pov (ollie, alpha's on the grid, some chat snippets), and a cringe attempt to get back into smut writing... i have failed btw

dc fic drafts

bruce wayne x slade wilson

okay now this one... jason is slade's kid, dies and due to this, bruce finds out slade is actually his father, not willis. (yada yada, someone with an s being in willis' phonebook... it's all connected). bruce, the honorable fool he is, finds slade and brings him the news. slade is.. well, mad, because 1. his kid died and 2. his kid got treated like shit. slade really gets into bruce's head, and it's very much rancid vibes. in the end, bruce aka batman still doesn't kill, but everyone knows that deathstroke does... yeah.... and then jason comes back and is in for a surprise....

damian wayne discovers fanfic

oh boy... this one is a total brainrot. basically, damian spends too much time on his phone and discovers ao3, wattpad, tumblr, etc. he becomes a minor celebrity on tumblr due to his... damianess i would say. bruce tries to cut down his screentime, damian is not happy and as revenge he writes a superbat fic. and then, everytime someone makes him mad, he writes a fic about them. yeah. i have nothing to say for myself

fem!slade wilson x jason todd

a 5 + 1 fic, where jason discovers not only his mommy issues but also the fact that he has a massive competency kink. of course. i have written one out of the six parts

fem!jason, red hood!jason, arkham knight!jason

basically... fem!jason and ak!jason end up in rh!jason universe, they're like "okay we're triplets now" because they've all suffered beneath the same people. it's just pure chaos. as of now, they've already claimed they're clones of either lady shiva, deathstroke, batman or wonderman (with a dash of constantine because how else can you explain the magic swords) and everyone is left scrambling to actually find out if they're their clones. in the end, slade claimes them as his kids, because they were like "we will fight against you and if we win, you're our father" and he was just too amused by it. as you can see, it got crack

game of thrones

time travel robb that somehow became a girl

girl!robb thinks for the longest time, that her 'memories' of boy!robb are a warning of the gods. she has a mental breakdown before the weirwood tree and accidentally makes a blood offering. yada yada, she claims her own wolves, has some ravens as pets. important tho, the whole north is ready for her to become the next lady stark, since for the longest time, she only had sisters and no brothers. ned sees how special she is and gets approval of robert for girl!robb to become the next warden of the north. due to this, he prepares her much better. the south of course, is mad about it, but they can't do shit. meanwhile the old gods continue to torture girl!robb with visions of the future, if she doesn't keep her family north...

greek mythology in the north

basically, the old gods exist but they have the names of the greek gods. people of the north guard their religion more, targaryens grow obsessed with it, once they find out the starks own the winter crown smithed by hephaistos, from the sword and heart of the night king. which can't be true, because obvs someone from their line would defeat the night king (they forgot hephaistos is technically a fire god... yeah not really smart of them). just some ramblings about the south viewing the north as barbarians, while the north is just chilling

crossovers

sansa stark x jason todd

jason dies again, the old gods drag him through the multiverse or whatever (very murky explanation on how he ended up in westeros) and he swears fealty to sansa, when she was stuck with ramsay. i have actually gotten pretty far, but i'm stuck on where the starks search for alliances and end up going to dany for dragonglass. jason is also a son of shiva in this one, because why not

fem!jason todd x marvel

something something along the lines of jason always having potential, be it as robin, as assassin, as monk, as priest, as someone practicing magic in every universe. and in one universe dr. strange comes across jason and takes her in

bruce wayne x sung jinwoo

universe hopping, jinwoo claims bruce as his and that's it. it's well known that robin has a pet monster that looks like a giant ant and everyone in the universe knows that batman is the beloved knight of death. do with that what you will

jjk x genshin impact

yada yada, more universe hopping, megumi ends up in mondstadt, gets a hydro vision and learns the art of healing from barbara. people assume he's from inazuma, and think his father has left the clan due to the war. he does the same thing as the traveler, and just goes around in teyvat. i've gotten until liyue (and zhongli almost wanting to kill megumi because he sensed 'dark' energy from him, similar to the abyss)

got x peaky blinders

the northern nobles somehow end up in the modern world right during the ww1. i don't have much here, only specific scenes. like arya and lyanna mormont walking around with a gian dog (nymeria) and playfighting each other, while tommy is taking a double take at jon snow (who let his hair grow out and looks a bit like a woman from afar so pretty he is) because he has a sword on his back. don't ask me what was going inside my brain, i don't know myself

percy jackson x jason todd

percy has to marry someone or else becomes a god, since he's already a prince of olympus. since annabeth died due to plot reasons during the war, percy goes on search for a mortal to marry. but because gods are assholes, this mortal has to be someone. he comes across red hood who has ties with the all caste and is not immortal, so he is someone to respect. percy approaches jason by offering protection if he would ever need it. they marry, batfam doesn't know, and while they're not in love, they're friends (yes, they will fall in love, why wouldn't they)

jason todd x deamon targaryen

honestly i'm trying to decypher my own notes to this, but basically, jason founds his own assassin group, going around saying he comes of the al ghul family. no one in westeros/essos knows who this is, and he's like, well obviously we wanted it that way. daemon comes across him, has bi panic, they fuck. daemon finds out jason is magic (as in has magic sword and his wounds heal on his own) while jason gets creative with his english master and yaps about the al ghuls being demons and dragon slayers. daemon gets obsessed, while rhaeneyra is on denial because no, he can't be a sword swallower. now i would like to quote a note on this document "jason is very manipulative, fully knowing he can never let daemon run to rhaeneyra in order to prevent war (he's just delulu and likes his dick)". wow, no notes, 10/10, i don't even know if i meant for jason to have knowledge of this world???

[thevindicativevordan]

Do you think that in a DC reboot or on an alternate Earth, like untouched Earth-Alpha, Superman and Zatanna could be a couple during Clark’s earlier years. Just an idea that’s been kicking around in my head since Zatanna’s father also got his start in Action Comics #1

Are you trying to give Paul Dini a mental breakdown? Heh sure, there’s no reason why the two couldn’t date, long as they’re in the same age bracket. Don’t know if I want to add Superman as another love interest for Zee given she’s already shipped with Constantine and Batman. But I can’t think of a reason the two couldn’t date, and I do wish Supes and her had more interactions given that bit of real world trivia.

[grrrrrrrbarkbarkbark]

John Constantine, Rip Hunter, and Ray Palmer

get them randomly assigned as your lab partner for a whole semester, get trapped with them on a broken elevator for ten hours, and they’re your employee trainer for your new job at McDonalds

1. Okay so for my lab partner the OBVIOUS choice is Ray Palmer but on closer thought I would get annoyed at him and probably have a mental breakdown eventually over the fact I don't have proper executive function and can barely do shit academically speaking vs his literal golden retriever energy. SO the actual awnser is probably Rip hunter because he is from 100 ish years in the future and he'd probably be pissed at me for not doing work which I can handle more then golden retriever energy. He'd probably also be very organized and set aside time to work together as he thrives in executive environments with structure (ie see being raised in a authortain time government and having his life be heavily structured, and also forming and operating the time bureau)

2. Id like to be stuck in an elevator with Ray as we would work together to make sure it's safe and probably just chill for awhile. He'd probably start small talking and my autistic ass that had a special intreset in social ettquite would have a blast with the scripted tennis match that is most of my social interactions.

3. And ofc John Constantine for the employee trainer. I feel like this one's pretty self explainitory but I'll explain my choice anyway. Firstly I (quburt) live with a version of him in my system I know that he differs from source a bit but I feel like it would mentally prepare me. Secondly both punks and we'd probably be like 'work fucking sucks' together. Thirdly and finally I think he'd let me have prolonged smoke breaks and work while high.

[fuzzypeng1n]

Im just imagining Constantine coming across a shrine in, like, the watchtower and just

C: What the FUCK is that

RR: Its a shrine to Phantom :3 he helps me get good grades :3

C: Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope I am OUT

*Constantine doesn't show up to the watchtower for 6 months because he had several mental breakdowns over the fact that the fucking Phantom is apparently a patron god of the bats*

Patron God/Ghost King au

where after a few centuries of boredom, Danny gets a sudden influx of college student worshippers but it's not too worrying since all the offerings he's gotten so far are just different snacks ranging from crackers to a full bowl of mac n cheese. Without any other options, he goes to the only halfa he knows who had finally settle down from dimension travelling to studying in a dimension where she knows the people wouldn't need an extra helping hands of a hero.

King Danny "get me out off paperwork" Phantom: Heya Dani, do you know if something happened that resulted in mass worshipping?

Danielle "I built a shrine of my brother in the empty storage closet of my dorm building to see if it would work" Phantom: gee golly I have no clue on what could have happened to result in that

Words tend to spread really fast especially when it comes to tired students who has nothing else to lose. Besides, after leaving a a potato chip on the creepy looking shrine in the storage room and feeling a strange wave of calm/relaxed/focus and passing that paper you've been struggling with for the whole year, who wouldn't keep doing it and leave even more snacks.

Next thing you know there'll be a creepy little shrine piled with snacks on top of it in empty storage rooms of different college and universities. Eventually the students find out what to call their entity of calm after one claimed to left their notebook in the storage only to find a little scribble that says Phantom in that slightly glowing and possibly toxic green ink.

---------------------------------

In hindsight, Tim should have probably stayed at home and rest after staying up all night finishing a paper due the day after tomorrow but Bruce had asked if he wanted to tag along the JL meeting with the JLD because of... whatever it was Bruce mentioned so who in their right mind would say no to that. So now here he was half listening to the banter meeting about some eldritch entity that could be a threat to humanity and what offering should they provide to complete the summoning. Of course after hearing a familiar name of his preferred deity of submitting papers on time, the delirious boy never even registered what he said.

Tim "barely conscious on his 11th cup of Pedro Pascal's Starbucks order" Drake: Phantom?? give 'em poptart... green flavour...

[this was just a fun little thought but I might add on to it from time to time]

"The Muppets: The Amazing Spider-Gonzo" Miniseries idea

For as long as I can remember, whenever I watched "Muppet Classic Theater", I remember laughing during Gonzo's mental breakdown at the end of "Rumpelstiltskin", mainly when Gonzo got caught with one of the ropes that would close the curtains (This is actually one of the scenes from said film that I thought was hilarious). It somehow gave me an idea for what if Gonzo dressed as Spider-Man and was able to swing from building to building with webs.

Looking back at said memory, I thought it could work for something I had in mind for what The Jim Henson Company/Muppet Studios can do for Disney+.

What I had in mind were either 6 or 8 episodes that will be about 30 minutes long. Gonzo has the titular role as Spider-Gonzo, with Rizzo serving as the webhead's sidekick, Spider-Rat (Rizzo will even lampshade how Spider-Man doesn't have a sidekick until Gonzo responds "He does now!"). Camilla will also have a hand in helping Gonzo and Rizzo as Spider-Hen (A chicken parody of Gwen Stacey, but without the Gwen Stacey death.).

For other roles I had in mind, Sam the Eagle would be J. Jonah Jameson, since I figured this role fits his character to some degree. Sam would constantly criticize Spider-Gonzo and Spider-Rat despite the good they do.

Kermit would have the role of Joseph "Robbie" Robertson, who serves as J. Jonah's right-hand frog, and will be his voice of reason. Behind J. Jonah's back, Robbie admires all the great things the Spider duo/trio do.

Miss Piggy would have the role of Betty Brant, who is the receptionist at the Daily Bugle, and find Gonzo and Rizzo pleasant. One episode would also feature her karate-chopping whichever villains break into the Daily Bugle.

Fozzie Bear would have the role of Hoffman (who believe it or not was a character created exclusively for Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy). He'll come up with ideas for villain names or other ads for the Daily Bugle, which J. Jonah would dismiss, but then later claim it's his idea.

Kermit's nephew, Robin, I was thinking would have the part of Timothy Harrison, who for this adaptation is related to Robbie. And instead of having a terminal illness, this adaption will make Timothy have some kind of illness that can be curable (which will come into play for the show's final episodes in some form of an episodic arc).

For Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker, I've decided that they would be scientists that work for Oscorp. In fact, not only would they demonstrate how some of the gadgets and elixirs they made work, but for this adaption, with Gonzo and Rizzo working at Oscorp, it's possible that they would've developed Gonzo and Rizzo's Spider suits. Gonzo having the red and blue suit and Rizzo in the Miles Morales suit. Both suits would be wing suits that allow Gonzo and Rizzo to glide over air currents, but Rizzo's suit allows him to turn invisible. They would also have made their web shooters, with the webs reconstructed with silly string.

If there's anyone who could portray some of Spider-Man's greatest archenemies, I was thinking that Uncle Deadly (or alternatively a human guest star) could portray someone like Green Goblin or Vulture or other villains that fell into obscurity like Morbius the Living Vampire, The Tinkerer, Jackal, Black Tarantula, The Spot, Tombstone, or Swarm.

Other villain suggestions would include Crazy Harry as the Roderick Kingsley version of Hobgoblin (since I figured this would work his act of blowing stuff up with his TNT plunger) and Constantine the Frog as Kraven the Hunter.

And for the role of Aunt May, I'd choose a human guest star like Meryl Streep, or other any female actress in their 50s, 60s, or early 70s.

[psychoticwillgraham]

It’s Will, Ash had a mini mental breakdown at work and the only reason it wasn’t worse was because the head cook adores it. I’ll be real with you all, we’re doing extremely poorly at the moment. I let my guard down and let Ash get lost its head, and just like how I am, it takes it a long time to fully come back from it. Hannibal’s been co fronting with me all day since the breakdown, and I’ll be the main one out for a while, while Hannibal will front for when we try to sleep. I’m extremely good at pretending to be Ash typing wise, so if I have to I will, mostly if you all get tired of me. I’ve been the host unofficially for a while now, but like I said, I’ve been mimicking it perfectly. I’m nearly indistinguishable from it in real life because we really are the same person.

Its head is a terrifying place that not even most of us here have access to, at least the deepest, darkest parts of it. Really, only me, Hannibal, and Constantine have seen it and are regularly allowed to. The rest of them couldn’t handle it, not in the least bit. Maybe except for Cassidy and Nathan, but they haven’t earned the access yet. I know I’m making Ash sound like a closet sociopath and being ultra dramatic about how ‘terrible’ its thoughts are, but I’m not trying to make it sound like that. Yes its thoughts are horrific at times, but I really do see myself in it as a person.

At its core, all it wants is to be seen, just like I did. To be loved, embraced, and just wholeheartedly accepted by someone, just one person even. It wants to find its equal, but it’s resigned itself to being alone forever. I’m certainly not one to offer advice and say that it’ll find the right person one day, because both of us are extremely cynical when it comes to our views on humanity. It wants to be an optimist, but it just isn’t. All it can see is the nasty and manipulative aspects of people. I’m not saying that Ash isn’t manipulative, because it very well is when it wants to be, but it hates to be.

So, you’ll all be getting me for the foreseeable future. -Will

Danny only becomes more resolved to not reveal himself the longer he stays in the manor. Every Bat member is furious with him(and holy shit Brice Wayne is BATMAN Wes would never shut up about this if he found out). Being in close quarters with people who are actively hunting him is doing bad things for his own mental health and giving him flashbacks to living in his parents' house; but Jason needs help more than he needs his sanity. Maybe if he can heal him enough, they'll go easy on him? He knows they won't. After all his parents didn't and he was their son, what would these people do to a complete stranger that hurt one of their own? He has to believe they'll treat him fairly, or he'll have a breakdown, and then who would patch up Jason?

It takes weeks. Danny's sure he's flunked out of all his classes, which he hates to do after Sam and Tucker worked so hard to make him a fake ID and get him funds, but making sure this guy heals properly is more important.

His soul looks grisly. It's warped and so misshapen it barely looks like a soul at all. The surface is pockmarked with fissures and cracks where pieces no longer fit together, and the whole thing is held together with ectoplasm(the pure kind, not that rank sewage that had been there previously), giving it a sickly green tint. It looks like bad reconstructive surgery on a fourth degree burn patient, but it's finally in one piece. Danny adds a bit of his own ectoplasm to the mix, to help keep the patches in place until the soul finishes healing, and finally goes to leave.

Only he can't. The entire mansion is locked down by a powerful binding ritual. Danny had been so focused on healing Jason, he'd stopped paying attention to what the Wayne's had been doing. (It worked with his parents) So Danny missed when they had figured out that "Daniel Nightengale" had disappeared from his college dorm, and eventually deduced that he was still by his 'victim'. A quick call to Constantine and there was an airtight seal around Wayne Manor preventing any supernatural being from entering or leaving.

Danny is so screwed.

Jason startles as a stranger on the streets of Gotham takes one look at him, looks at him in absolute horror, and then runs to the closest dumpster and vomits into it.

Jason is mildly offended. He doesn’t look that bad does he? — Danny glances back to look at the undead staring at him on the sidewalk and nearly vomits again. His soul is shattered. It’s like looking at a human after being hit by a car at 60mph who’s acting like they’re perfectly fine as they walk towards you. — Jason approaches the stranger, one hand hovering over the shoulder of the guy and asks; “Hey man what’s your problem? What's the deal w-”

The once retching passerby moves imperceptibly quick. His hands go through Jason’s chest and before he can even react he feels something snap back into place.

Jason can barely remember screaming as he near instantly blacks out from the pain.
