Dp x dc writing prompt
no. [Banana|cherries|pineapple]
("dammit baldrick you forgot to write the numbers on again!")
I would 'love' to write this but I'm probably never going to have the time, if someone wants to please go ahead and use it, just tag me so I get to read it!
Snow-woman and the damphir?
Vlad and Danny are fighting again, the battle has crossed multiple land masses, they end up in a populated section of Japan where vlad gets the upper hand and pulls out a new invention: the 'maximus convertus' (classy right?) Danny stumbles into a few people trying to dodge but it hits... him and a young woman named cassandra cain!
The weapon is designed to powerswap the person firing and the target but its still a prototype and was meant for just the two people...
Danny's ice core powers get transferred to cassandra, vlads vampire(energy?) Core powers get transferred into danny, vlads obsession towards having Danny gets transferred into cassandra... vlad falls into a coma due to the loss of his core and the shock of being mortal again, danny collapses in the shock as his body shifts from strictly his hero form into something like vlads form (i just googled it, why is most damphir character art a combo of monk robes and a trenchcoat!-or 'bedroom wear'🤣) cassandra basically gets knocked out from the halfa core fusing into her soul and gets colder as her body decides how to develope...
Cassandra is in shock, she was in Japan doing some investigating for the Japan branch W.E. and was almost finished. today was her day off she had gone to a few tourist spots and learnt a little about Japanese culture and folk tales, one which caught her eye was the many stories about yuki-onna, the 'snow-women' after that she was travelling back to her hotel when she got caught up in a fight between supers, the boy with white hair was doing his best to stop harm coming to the civilians even at the expense to himself when the one with the red eyes and Cape pulled out a device that was wired up to him. She saw the boy try to get away from everyone but bounced off two civilians trying to get out of the way he bumped into her as the device fired.
*pain...cold...lonely...pain*
it felt like her body was freezing and unfreezing as she lay on the sidewalk unable to control her actions, the boy with the white hair now altering itself to be longer. She grunted in pain as her body froze and thawed and the boys eyes snapped open looking at her in concern. Another jolt of pain and he was scrabbling over to her to hold her hand "you're going to be all right, I will protect you" he murmured, his eyes seemed to have a hypnotic quality to them but his body language was genuine. The pain spiked again and her conciousness faded to the sound of ambulance sirens approaching. 'Why was her last conscious thoughts turning to the yuki-onna?...'
(Mizore is best snow-girl, will not be taking any Sass about it!)
Also don't @ me about cassandra's heritage, Google's broke, vlads not exactly transalvanian and cass's mother's mixed.

What is your opinion on the shipping policies of France and Great Britain during the Napoleonic Wars concerning neutral nations? Did they unnecessaryly antagonize them, for example Portugal or the USA?
My entire knowledge of this boils down to if France and GB have the opportunity to antagonize literally anyone else they will do it, so I am going to say yes

What other regency shows/books do you like?
Hello Nonny!
What a fun question 😊 If we're talking strictly regency era, I'm boring and/or am not aware of enough options, because the only thing I can think of that I know is definitively regency is Pride and Prejudice. I love the book, 1995 series and 2005 film. Matthew Macfadyen is my definitive Darcy 🤤
But if we skew wider to general period/costume dramas and 1800s authors, I have more. I think my tastes are probably more Victorian than regency when it comes to fashion and vibes 😜
The Empress (show) scratched the Bridgerton itch for me while we've been in the drought.
Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre (books) by the Bronte sisters. Haven't seen adaptations I've loved.
I'm a big Dickens fan, books and adaptations - especially A Christmas Carol and anything about Dickens' own life.
Little Women - I adore the 1994 and 2019 films, and live close to the setting/where the Alcotts lived so it's local history for me.
Honorable mention to the first 3 seasons of Downton Abbey before sharks were jumped. I used to be obsessed.
Also to Amadeus (1984 film) which is beautiful and bananas.
Lastly, Blackadder because it totally counts as a costume drama.
Perhaps not the list you were looking for, but if I think of things I love with people wearing historical garb - this is it 😅 Thank you for the ask!

Josh Gates is the only acceptable TV adventurer because he's an actual archeologist and talks about like... how all that works and works with teams lead by people from the actual country the dig is in. He'll straight up say "yeah we found xyz here it is being photographed in situ and it's gonna be several hours before we can examine it better."
Tony Robinson is a close second, but he's less of an adventurer and more of a little elf that digs up stuff in the UK.

Lucien: is it true that dwarven courting habits included standing on a bucket and pinning a live frog to the shoulder blade before going ‘bibble’ to passers by?
Dwemer Dragonborn: *giggles* no, I just told Calcelmo that because I was getting annoyed from all his questions. I never thought he’d publish it.
Kaidan: … *releases the frog he’d caught from his pocket*
