DPXDC Idea: Mother of Monsters Dan(yal)
Specifically Fem!Dan because I made this in mind with my Fem Danyal Au bUT. The best part about Dan is that I get to play dress up with her, and Fem Dark Dany is gonna go by Layal (pronounced lae-el) because it means "the nights" and it sounds similar to Danyal, and I think she'd choose that name to mock Dany. ANYWAYS
Mother of Monsters Danyal. She may be evil but she's an Al Ghul at her core (even with vlad's soul merged with hers - however, considering that Layal looks and sounds like Dany, she considers that soul to be the more dominant one.) and loves animals. And she might be heartless, but she adores the monsters of the infinite realms.
Mother of Monsters Layal who hates everyone but utterly dotes and adores on every manner of beast she comes across. Stealing the eggs and infant young beasts of the Infinite Realms to raise as her own because she wanted them. Her own island full of monsters, a monstrous menagerie of her own. She steals most often from poachers or exotic pet keepers and other menageries -- the full grown beasties can keep their young.
And with every monster she raises, she can shapeshift their features onto herself, allowing her to change her shape from humanish to any matter of monster or hybrid creature. She calls herself their mother, and them her children. Her precious little babies, capable of incredible mass destruction and mayhem.
From little griffins the size of kittens, to stymphalian vulture chicks, and leviathan young hatching from eggs the size of her pinkie, to creatures native of the ghost zone that didn't even have names in the living realm. There really wasn't a limit to what or who she would take in and she didn't limit herself to any form of mythology. If they were beasts and they were unwanted, she wanted them. And as such, amassed her own mini army of "children" willing to listen to her any command.
Earth doesn't know what hit it when she attacks them.
There are many monstrous forms she could take on, the first one I've thought of is a combination of various serpentine/reptilian features. The body of a naga -- her lower half long and serpentine, her upper still human -- with spiked fins connecting from the bottom of her arms to her sides, ever seen Sinbad where Eris goes "you might have seen my likeness on the temple walls" and her arms do that fin thingy? Same concept. Her hands are webbed and taloned, perfect for slicing through the skin of the living, and her teeth are needle-sharp and shark like. Her hair can either be spiny and feathery-like like the spines of a lionfish, or frilled like a frilled-neck lizard. It's perfect for dealing and doting on her reptilian and amphibian-inclined darlings.
I'm more of a fan of aus where Dan is a sibling of Danny's rather than their kid, so Layal's redemption(..?? probation?) proceeds with her legally becoming Danyal's "twin" sister, who had been lost to the foster system before the Fentons adopted Dany, and was only recently reunited with her. The two of them look so alike that the lie is easy to take root and spread.
Layal is very indignant to the fact that she's now ten years in the past and has to restart her menagerie all over again. Do you know how much blood and sweat went into raising those children? How dare you separate them from their mummy. Although she'll admit she does miss their juvenile years, so she won't mind (too much) needing to raising them again. Dany is helping her retrieve all of them though, dammit.
long story short: epic the musical's "Scylla" has a CHOKEHOLD on me and this is the result of it
Unlike her Dan counterpart, Layal's voice is dancing and sirenic. It's purposely alluring and motherly, in order to lure people into a false sense of security until she feeds them to her "children." Echidna doesn't have shit on her. She almost seems friendly and reasonable, until you get too close and realize it was all an act and she drops it to metaphorically swallow you whole. She's like an anglerfish that way. She and Dany both sound like Scylla from Epic.

It was to send him on a wild goose chase looking#for Dany in order to be around to save her from becoming Layal.#'Tragic. Terribly tragic; your dear sister had her soul ripped from her body and merged with another. What was left of her...'#'well. i put out of its misery.' she's very cloying towards damian and this is on purpose because she thinks its funny to get under his ski#goes out of her way to only ever refer to him as 'little brother' but if she can't she'll call him sickeningly sweet nicknames.#this happens about oooo midway 'redemption'? Where Laya is actually rather fond of Dany and is starting to consider her as a sister#as well. and she likes Ali. Laya herself is still rather unsympathetic to the world around her. only acts on a kindness for 'her people'#her people includes Dany which is why she even actually told Damian that Dany was alive and gave him an incentive to look for her#because she saw DAny mourning another lost birthday for her little brother and decided to go 'aw fuck who gave me feelings' and decided to#make it everyones problem.#starry rambles

When Dan applies the "cringe is dead/our old content has merit and was special even if it's hard to watch now" mentality that they've had in all the react videos to Hello Internet too...then I will know peace

Linktober Day 8. Tunic
#linktober#linktober 2024#the legend of zelda#wind waker#ocarina of time#loz#loz ww#loz oot#link#josh art tag#had a lot of fun with this one despite how annoying it was to draw#oot link was at a difficult angle and i also just could not shade this for the life of me. restarted the shading like 3 times#i think im reaching that point in the cycle i typically go thru with my artstylr where ive grown tired of my shading style#to the point that i forget how to do it and it never quite looks right#so if my next post features changes to my artstyle thats why lol#but i enjoyed making this despite that cuz i like the ideas behind it!#i normally wouldve redesigned ww!link's outfit but i purposefully drew it accurately#to highlight how its more like a costume. cuz thats kinda what it was! and its modeled after the hero of times clothes#but is pretty innacurate. which i think is cool.. shows how much time has passed and how the view of the hero of time has warped#so i also purposefully made oot link wearing my redesigned outfit for him (even if you cant see much of it at this angle)#to further emphasize how ww!link's outfit is not only essentially a costume but is also quite innacurate#i like having ww!link ditch the costume for something else to show how he stops being some kid in oot!link's shadow#and grows into a true hero of his own#hence my ww!link redesign where i put him back in the lobster shirt. but i do keep some green and something similar to the hat#to have him fit in with the other links while still being unique#look i have a lot of feelings about ww!link and oot!link#i wish zelda would do more stuff like this... i think having oot relate to wind waker makes the story more interesting#and makes ww!link more interesting! cuz he cant be the hero of time they want. but he does become the real hero they need#the oot ww tp trio is so good... and they all work great as standalone games but their connections do really add something

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

Very weird experience having someone who used to be one of your best friends slowly stop being your best friend
#ROBIN IF U SEE THIS. THIS IS NOT ABOUT U. U ARE VERU MUCH MY BEST FRIEND MWUAH MWUAH#Anyway going into it in the tags#Vent#Like.. This person will always mean a lot to me cos i met her when she and i were like 14#But we have barely talked in a year#And even before that we kinda just grew further and further apart when she went off to uni#And its partly my fault for not texting her but its two sided (also im shit at texting even my closest friends)#And i dont harbour any bad feelings about it. Its amazing when i do hear from her#But she has new friends she loves and i think shes in a place in her life she just doesn't really need me#And going to uni and becoming close with a bunch of other autistic people made me realise how much ive kinda always struggled to connect-#-with her#Not that autistic and allistic people can't be close. But I've never felt comfortable infodumping around her like i do#With my current friends#A lot of that is definitely my own insecurities that have gotten a lot worse over the past few years#Because shes very popullar and cool and i admire her sm#So ive never wanted to like.. Idk bore her with autistic stuff#Not that she would be mean cos shes so lovely#But I've just grown apart from her a lot i think#And i think she has with me too#Also she is someone who prioritises romance a lot (not a bad thing) but its also very difficult to connect with her on that front#Anyway i have a lot of complicated emotions around this cos i love herr and she is still very much my friend#Still a close friend even. And i'll hopefully get to see her again during the summer and itll be amazing to catch up#But i dont think we are best friends anymore

MOONMOON 4 LIFE
[ID: A small cartoonishly drawn Moonpaw is gazing happily at the moonpool, a bright swirl of colors and stars in the vague shape of a heart, while blushing. Moonpaw is a heavily mottled black and beige cat with corrosponding yellow and blue eyes. Above Moonpaw and the Moonpool is the text: “You’re the brightest star I see tonight!” The text is multi colored with a white glowing affect behind it. The background of the entire piece is a dark purple-blue with faded pink sparkles. “Camp” might be a dull work to describe the image.]

Cats and Nasturtium Flowers~ something which was going to be a custom sticker sheet (for me to decorate my scrapbook with) until I realized that most sticker printing websites have like Actual Guidelines you're supposed to follow in terms of file type of the image and other things lol.. A nice picture then, I guess at least
#cats#flowers#nasturtiums#nature#I thought you could kind of just upload anything of any type. kind of like how you can print anything on a shutterfly bag/hat/etc lol#even if it's some low quality super pixelly badly sized jpeg or something.. but alas... anyhow...#Hrgh.... my lifelong battle (cannot freaking draw cats despite me being both a lifelong artist and lifelong cat lover...#I have been trying to draw cats since I was 5 years old and I still can't get the anatomy proper lol ToT#I mean like they're not TERRIBLE or anything but it just.... idk it lacks a certain charm I'm looking for. I see cat drawings that some#people do and go 'YES. that is a CAT'. like the shapes. I think it's similar to how like. sometimes you can tell whether someone#has been an artist for a long time by the Effort of their lines.. if that makes sense? There's sometimes a breezy almost sketchy#style that comes with an implication of 'this person has drawn this thing so many times that its become intuitive for them and takes them#like 2 seconds to smoothly dash out this shapely line with the perfect weight and movement' etc. etc.#Some of my art looks like that to me. But then my cats are like.. This Person Was Trying Very Hard To Draw A Cat lol#to ME at least. It probably doesnt seem that way on the outside. And maybe I'm just too deep into it. My love for cats is too profound. I#spend time daily observing them. No line I could ever produce with my mere mortal hands could replicate the unearthly perfection#of the feline form.. hrmph... ANYWAY lol...#so sad because i did really want to decorate my notebook with the nasturtium stickers... one of my favorite flowers..#I like the one sticker that's just the lumpy little green seed (what nasturtium seeds look like when they first ... uh.. exist? I guess the#seeds don't ''bloom''.. when they first ''appear'' maybe? A fresh seed. The ones you get in the store are like dried and brown#by then. But one of my nasturtium plants a few years ago plopped out a bunch of these fresh green little seeds and they're cute looking to#me... like a little wrinkled pea... my son...#oh my GOURSH I just looked them up to check whether I was remebering correctly... YES.... they are soo cute and cool... i love#nasturtium seeds hashtag my nasturtium seeds#Truly the most Perfectly Shaped in all ways flower that exists. leaves. petals. seeds. roots. ALL of it. THE aesthetic ideal.#I'm not a big nature artist either (rarely ever draw flowers and stuff. not that comfortable with it) but for some reason I'm okay with the#nasturtiums lol... again.. maybe cats are simply too powerful of a subject matter.. difficult to capture in their ultimate divinity

dick grayson at the Olympics performing the iron cross flawlessly long enough for the judges to give full marks before continuing his routine and people online moaning about him not holding it for that long. then later dick posts a video online of him holding it for 2 minutes but the video cuts off before he's actually dismounted from the pose and one timothy drake later tweets he held it for 5 minutes before bruce made him stop for fear of his shoulders and chest

thinking about akai and it rly hits me like a truck, only once in a blue moon, how he doesn't inquire into furuya's feelings regarding hiro. his conclusions during the scarlet arc were all about how much furuya may or may not resent him. and how that may influence the best course of action for conan's plan. then, during the stage of betrayal, more than furuya, his memories centered around scotch... more than empathy for furuya, his flashback plays out like a recall of his own regret at the way things turned out with scotch, for scotch's sake.
in akai's verbalised thoughts, or the hints we see of his thoughts through his flashbacks and other scenes, there simply isn't much interest in what hiro might have meant to furuya and how that death affects him emotionally today. akai, much like conan, often seem to think of furuya's grudge as a factor, a factor that needs to be taken into account to calculate the next best course of action. how much can furuya cooperate if he loathes me? does he hate me on a personal level and is it bad enough that i shouldn't risk my cover in an attempt to get him on my and bouya's side? can he be talked into focusing on the BO for now?
but i don't sense much interest from him in discovering how furuya may be affected as a person, and what hiro was to him
i guess part of it could be that akai himself processes feelings in a very internal manner so he doesn't see why agents like furuya or him would need any emotional care. he deals with losing his father and akemi but he's still level-headed on the job. Plus, he is lucky that his grudge is directed at someone he needs to take down anyway (inb4 gin turns out to be tsutomu) so he can work effectively for the goal of the FBI even while bearing a grudge (as opposed to furuya who is holding a grudge against someone who is not of the BO) he never enquires about jodie's feelings when she thought he was dead, either, so it's not like furuya is the sole exception; he simply doesn't do much about feelings and it's quite suitable for his job anyway.
but that's precisely it: furuya doesn't look like an exception. Akai doesn't seem to treat furuya differently from the rest... so, with this approach, i dont see furuya and him ever becoming close on a personal level. akai doesn't seem to have much interest in clearing the misunderstanding about hiro anyway. as it is, even if furuya were to digest it all on his own, they may simply drift into silence and avoidance, on both parts, unless furuya wants to know why akai never told him the truth (and even then akai might not give him the answer normally)
akai's actions until now don't show him as someone who takes active steps to get feelings out into the open and again, furuya doesn't really seem like The Exception for him until now (remember: until now furuya has been the one doggedly seeking akai out. akai has been giving reactions, yes, even when he showed his face to him, it was in reaction to furuya's role in the bell tree express and the danger he posed) so, depending on how much self-worth furuya has, he might never seek akai out again post-BO, even if he were to realise that his own footsteps had been the clincher in hiro's death. and if he doesnt seek akai out, i dont see akai doing that for him
i know one way to deal with it in fics has been to set up a joint investigative unit to give a reason for furuya and akai to spend extended amount of time together, thereby making it easier for them to open up. but that is fic shorthand (which is fine, but we have to recognize that in canon, there are reasons why it's not that easy or straightforward and even if there was such a unit, it might not look the same as MPD weekly meetings and such) so in fact akam is not an easy thing to write at all. it takes a lot of work to explain -- based on the canon hints we get of their personalities, and the canon way they mutually interact -- why it could work beyond hate-fucking
and for one, beyond hate-fucking initiated by furuya and beyond shorthands, one thing that would be very interesting to see in fanwork, based on canon, is why furuya might be or may become an Exception for akai

Question I thought of ladt night. I'm guessing Jonah and Achilles would talk at some point? What would their attitudes towards eachother be?
OKAY SO achilles was made partially to be jonah’s love interest. i think they’d meet when jonah starts staying at hunter’s place, since achilles’ farm is close to her house and jonah catches glimpses of him sometimes. jonah would go over there and be like. drawn to him cause hes close to his age and doesn’t seem like he’s from this town, and he’s mysterious and pretty so he’s curious about him. they’d start hanging out more and more over jonah’s time at sheep’s head. achilles would almost always be working when they are but he comes and spends time with jonah at hunter’s house some evenings too. achilles starts out distrustful of jonah because he’s found it harder and harder to trust people over the course of his life, but jonah listens to him and seems like a nice guy that’s in the same position he was in himself several years ago. so he empathizes with him and allows himself to get close to him. they eventually become really close and jonah promises achilles that they’ll come up with a plan and escape sheep’s head together.
