DP x DC Prompt: Not As I Appear

(Can also work for Marvel if that's what you wanna go with :3)

Danny is not a Meta because that would mean he had a MetaGene, he's not an Alien because he was technically born on this planet. However he died and was reborn between this realm and another so he was technically a Cross-Dimensional Being. But of course he couldn't just say that. The Anti-Ecto Law's were still heavily in place with "science" backing it up and a mixture of an Amity Park blackout caused by the Ghost Investigation Ward (GIW) and the ectoplasmic energy naturally produced by the area - it was hard to protest the science already available. So he couldn't say he was Phantom or protest the science so he found himself in a pretty tough spot when he couldn't explain the 'strange readings' to a group of Meta-Human Traffickers when they kidnapped him from Amity Park.

He also couldn't explain to the group that came to save him and the other hostages when they found him single-handedly putting an end to the trafficking ring on his own. Instead he could just look at the person in front of him with an unsteady smile as he said.

"I promise it's not what it looks like, but if I told you the truth things will get even more complicated."

I've seen a lot of people writing Danny as a space ancient and Dan and Dani as ghosts with moon and sun cores, being sort of parts, versions of Danny and therefore weaker. Now, consider: Dan and Dani are both powerful ghosts with really cool cores and stuff but Danny is just some guy™

Dan, who came from an alternate timeline and is kind of from the future but also not, is Clockwork's apprentice and will eventually become an ancient of time. He probably only agreed to have some lessons with Clockwork to understand better what happened to him, but he enjoys his apprenticeship now.

Dani, with her love of travelling, loves seeing all the different places the world offers to her, and that includes space and different planets and maybe even parallel universes, and she accidentally ends up being an apprentice of the space ancient. For now she's probably a baby ancient of freedom or something like that, but she might become an ancient of space in the future.

We can also have something like Dan having a core of destruction or Dani being the Speed Force if you want it to be dcxdp, or any headcanon of yours about their cool powers.

And then there's Danny. And yeah, everyone knows that he's super powerful, but also he's just some guy.

It can go different routes. Does everyone know that Danny is just Danny? Or do they think that with siblings (well, technically a clone and an alternate version, but whatever) so powerful, he must be even stronger? Is Danny actually something terrifyingly eldritch and ancient and strong, almost a god, but he just doesn't know himself? Or is he just really some guy?

Now, because it's obvious that I have a dcxdp brainrot, have a regular "JL summons/meets a powerful ghost" but its Dan and Dani, and they keep mentioning their original/brother who won a fight against them at some point. The JL is very concerned about Dan and Dani's godlike powers, and they can't imagine what Danny is like. And then they meet him (in his human form), and it's just a young adult in casual clothes, very friendly and helpful, with no evident powers. Imagine the confusion. Imagine Dan and Dani, radiating power, in their eldritch ghost forms, admitting that fighting Danny for real is the dumbest thing to do and not even they would succeed... And then there's Danny is jeans and silly t-shirt, waving shyly.

Things I want

5+1 fic of 5 times the Avengers noticed Thor and Loki being uncomfortably intimate, touchy-feely, or just... having those long emotional moments of staring into each other's eyes, and told themselves for the sake of their own sanity that 'it's just a cultural thing' and 'they have a complex relationship, and Thor's just trying to show his baby brother that he loves him'

and the +1 time where Loki walks out of Thor's room and casually joins them for breakfast looking VERY freshly fucked.

EDIT: there is fic!!!! thanks to @hopelesslyunstable, we have this glorious masterwork of Thorki fuckery - you all have to read it!

That "Only 5% of people with ADHD graduate" post bugs me because not only does it not specify if that's 5% of the people with ADHD who attend college (another source they cite says that's 21% of people with ADHD) or 5% of the whole population with ADHD (because that's a huge difference) but I can't access the fucking papers it cites because they're all behind a paywall so I can't check

hello hello! I hope you don't mind me dropping by but I just want to say I love your art so much, the way you draw vashwood is just so sweet and tender but can I just ramble about the way you draw Vash especially? More specifically, the way you draw his expressions when he's looking at Wolfwood???

I just LOVE the way you draw Vash's expression because the way you make him look at Wolfwood is so soft 😭😭😭. There's just something about it that's so tender, like whenever I look at Vash's expressions in your art I just think "that is genuinely someone who loves another person with all their heart" and it just mends and breaks my heart at once, you capture Vash's love for Wolfwood in ways I can't explain 👏

It's unbridled love mixed with the fear of hurting Wolfwood in their relationship. It's wanting to spill so much affection but holding back in fear of messing up. He looks at Wolfwood like he's longing for him so earnestly be it pre-relationship or even when they're already dating it's just so??? 💕💕💘💞💖💖💞💕

There's just something so tender and heart wrenching at the way Vash looks at Wolfwood in your art, it gets me really emotional and I hope you have a lovely day/night for real <33!!!

ouuuuu thank you so so much for your kind words and for taking the time to tell me this T_T !!! i'm glad my expressions for vash's longing gazes at wolfwood is well done enough to have this sort of response to it…

he's the kind of person that has to hold back in both words and touch when it comes to love, when it comes to wolfwood, but i think it's a difficult emotion to restrain, especially when wolfwood is kind enough to let it be.

ultimately, what they're allowed to have is the inevitable shared spaces during their travels, it's the other's physical presence, being next to wolfwood, being able to take him in through the way he simply exists. smelling smoke, seeing smoke, seeing the cigarette between his fingers, seeing the crosses littered across his person, the rosary snug around his neck, his scruff at his chin, messy bangs, messy hair, tired eyes, the canine that peeks when he speaks, and a voice carrying heavy words, but honest, and kind, and one vash could never get tired of hearing, like how he'd never be tired of just looking at wolfwood.

it's of gratitude, it's of sorrow, it's of grief, it's of love, praise, adoration, it's desperate and it's full of yearning. at first, it's a gaze he feels he has to be satisfied with until he's learned that he's allowed for more and at that point, when wolfwood has given him so much, how could he look at him in any other way?

in any case, i def like to make it known and parade around vash's deeeeeep deep deep feelings of love towards wolfwood, so i'm very happy to know i can express that clearly through his expression alone. i Also just love wolfwood so maybe the projection goes from the heart of the artist to the heart of the art.

i ended up collecting a few caps of his expressions just out of curiosity for myself :3 i have much to improve still, i'll keep on drawing vash's loving self until i can get the ultimate loving expression down!!

Blossica Christmas headcanons? ^-^ /lh

Me to everyone that sends me Blossica asks

This is the second Christmas they spent together, so they're more used to how Christmas works in the suitcase.

Back at their first Christmas alongside the Team Timekeeper, when there were less arcanists that there are now, it proved hard to get used to their traditions.

Or the amalgamations of these.

Jessica had spent some time confused over the decorations, and the attempts to get her not to eat the Christmas tree is an every day struggle even to this day.

The first year, it had been Jessica learning about this strange tradition. A decorated tree with "candy" that is actually made out of glass, shiny spheres that hang from the ceiling, weird soft triangular hats on everyone's head.

Jessica had to learn some things about Christmas before getting used to it, that being everything.

For Blonney, however, the thing that she had to get used to was the overflowing warmth and companionship. There were no family discussions, no envious comments flying around.

For both, it had been a strange change of pace, but not an unwelcomed one! Especially when Jessica could eat whatever she wanted from the table.

From that first experience to now, I have to say some things stayed the same.

They'd spend the days together watching shitty movies Vertin gave them, wrapping gifts for exchanges and trying to get Jessica not to eat the crystal candy canes.

Tooth Fairy rarely joins them for Christmas, considering she has her own family that's still alive and still shares time with her, but they tend to exchange gifts when she's able to spend some time with them.

Horropedia is their unwanted companion who has made himself a place on their couch to watch shitty movies, sometimes joined by a friend or two.

So far, they'd spend more time together than in company, after all it's time you spend with your loved ones. Though they participate in the suitcase's gift exchanges and dinner time.

And they can never be completely alone with Vertin and Horropedia around, so you can call it quality time with your lover and that one friend that also wants some company.

"Am I not allowed to look at my most precious?"

To Grim, Mori is more than just a slave. He sees no difference between them and any other mortal that crosses paths with him; being privy to such information, he can quite literally see that their souls do not differ at all. The very word "slave" sounds performative out of his mouth, only ever used to mock them or belittle them for his own entertainment — but that only reinforces that he doesn't really believe them to be just that, since he finds such humour in it.

To Mori, however, when he calls them his "most precious", they have to stop and stare at him, bewildered. They do not believe him, but they don't think he means to mock them this way. To them, being anything more than a disposable slave, especially to someone so powerful, is just incomprehensible. Why would anyone think of them as something precious? There is nothing special about them; they aren't even good at their job, they have been broken down and used up by a hundred others before him, and they were given nothing but vitriol and demeaning words their whole life.

Deep, deep inside, they feel a kind of pride that makes them feel ill, a tiny part of them believing, or rather, wanting so badly to believe he means it when he says such impossibly nice things about them. No one ever has before... It's, different, or something. The layers and layers of insignificance bred and beaten into them won't let that vibrant appreciation come to the surface.

Grim doesn't mind. They do well to avoid growing used to love, or — perish the thought, take it for granted. Love is something they are unfamiliar with. Love hurts. Love begins and ends by another. Love is dangerous.

And in reality, is it truly love, what Grim feels? Fondness, obsession, craving, pleasure?

"All the same, no?"

circ is such 4 hypocrite. they cl4im to be pro endo 4nd then keep being friends with bigots (they're besties with J4S 4nd other people who've h4r4ssed you so its not surprising). even more recently they c4me out 4nd reve4led themselves to be one of the mods of the 4nti endo 4nd bigoted sysbox tumblr blog 4nd its so fucking dis4ppointed. i never re4lly liked them bec4use of how much they h4r4ss tulp4s but their recent post on th4t blog is such 4 new low. THEY H4VE SUCH PICK ME ENERGY. they're liter4lly joking 4bout being better 4nd more 'civil' th4n most pro endos 4nd endos (you know the people they SUPPOSEDLY support so much), which re-enforces stereotypes 4bout endo systems. they literally do not give 4 shit 4bout us or our rights 4nd i wish more plur4l collectives fucking stopped supporting them just bec4use they make 're4lly nice and friendly sysmed cdd system' their whole br4nd. they're like those people who 4spire to be 4 model minority. they dont c4re. they h4ve never c4red. they only c4re about their own 4cceptance and getting popul4rity but dont c4re 4bout the rest of the community. im so 4ngry. my littles who used to find their blog comforting 4re fucking he4rtbroken. i knew they were shit but im so 4ngry 4t myself for not being 4ble to protect my system. im so 4ngry on beh4lf of my system and on beh4lf of the whole plur4l community. we deserve better

i hope this is ok4y to send. im just re4lly angry and your blog h4s 4lw4ys been 4 s4fe sp4ce for us. th4nk you for everything you do btw. despite the h4te, you 4lw4ys keep posting 4nd fighting for our rights. my system 4dmires you [ ^-^] <3

I'm sorry you feel hurt and betrayed.

It's terrible to put your trust in someone and find out they aren't who you thought they were. But for what it's worth, I don't think you let your system down.

Life is about making mistakes and learning. You can't refuse to trust anyone just because you get burned in the past. Maybe it hurts now, but I don't think any lasting damage was done.

Personally, learning this... I find myself largely indifferent. I'm not at all surprised at this, knowing them. They've modded anti-endo discord servers, so why not an anti-endo sysbox blog?

My own feelings on Circ are complicated. I do not consider Circ safe for endogenic systems given their reblogs and support of anti-endos, and frequent parroting of anti-endo talking points.

At the same time, I actually do think their presence in anti-endo spaces has been a net positive for our goals in those communities. Circ has bragged a few times about making their anti-endo friends more pro-endo. And while I wouldn't say those friends became allies to the pro-endo community, many did switch to more neutral stances which I do think helped reduce hate against endogenic and pro endo systems in those spaces, and that seems like a good thing for me.

So I guess, while I don't care much for Circ as a person due to history there, I can acknowledge that their influence in anti-endo spaces ultimately serves my goals.

Besides, it's really upsetting some anti-endos so that's fun to watch! 😁

And you know, they have a point.

Like, if I was following a pro-endo blog and learned that one of the mods was anti-endo... and an anti-endo who bragged about making pro-endos more anti-leaning, I would be very suspicious of not just that one anti-endo but all the mods on that blog they were friends with.

How can you trust that your anti-endo sysbox mods haven't already been converted to the other side and aren't just lying to you about their syscourse stance???

Now you might think I'm just intentionally trying to spread mistrust and division among anti-endos by saying this... get them to turn on each other and tear themselves apart from the inside. And you'd be absolutely right! But that doesn't mean I'm wrong, and it doesn't mean me stating my motives aloud will make it any less likely to work!

And I would even like to say that I do appreciate the mod team on that blog being able to look past an alleged pro-endo's syscourse stance. Even if it's only for this one kind-of-hypocritical exception since they still refuse to interact with any other pro-endos.

Yes, I SophieInWonderland, endogenic tulpa, support sysboxes for having a pro-endo-identifying mod!

And since antiendovents crossposted in the inclusive plural tag, this is going straight into the anti-endo tags so the entire anti-endo community can see me expressing this support that I'm sure won't create any waves at all. 😈

The tags are trending because of bots

HELP WHAAAT all I can see in the top posts are people asking why it's trending and people saying "DID WE DEFEAT THE BOTS????"
