"Isaac, can I ask you something? What does Hope like?" fidgeting in her place.
Isaac blinked at the question. What did Hope like?
"Ahhh...tea?" He offered without much certainty. He felt bad since Lucina came to him to ask this but...

"I know Hope is my daughter, but that's in the future for me. I don't know her as well as her actual father does." Seeing Lucina look disappointed hurt though...
"Hmm what I do know about her is she a very kind and considerate person. So if you're wanting to get her a gift, if you genuinely put a lot of thought and care into choosing it, Hope will see that and love it."

Welcome to the Pokemon Legends series! So far we have two wonderful choices for you:
Fight for your life in the wilderness of Meiji-era not-Japan as a 15 year old child from the modern day
OR
Have fun helping redevelop the city of not-Paris with your cute new pets
#sorry the tonal difference between these two games so far is killing me#they really screwed Dawn/Lucas over too if time travel isn't even the Legends formula#this is a new protagonist too... amazing#Arceus said fuck you to Dawn and/or Lucas specifically#you're getting sent 200 years in the past because i don't want to deal with my problems#pokemon#pokemon legends#pokemon legends arceus#pla#pokemon legends za#plza

EEEEE!! I love your stobotnik art sm! If ur open to it id love to see some more art of the pair interacting with themselves/each other in the future? 👉👈

Anyways, (eats ur art)

Stone has some regrets and Robotnik is learning some stuff
ko-fi
#ask ask ask#stobotnik#agent stone#doctor ivo robotnik#sonic movie universe#eggman is time traveling#oof tumblr really decided to murder the quality on this one#we're getting heavy into my personal headcanons here people#but yes i basically think stone blames himself for everything that has happened to the doctor#boy wishes he had been there in the mushroom planet with his boss#i think past stone blames future stone like#i would never let that happen to him. how did you fail so badly?#but stone oh stone you will. you can't stop robotnik#meanwhile robotnik is not even considering that stone might feel this way#sure he is not above blaming stone for bad stuff#but stone wasn't even THERE for this bad thing#stone was probably somewhere else following his orders#stone was following his program if you will. he can't be faulted for that#so this is something stone will always have to carry#since the doctor will never realize it's a problem#oh a happier note I love how fucking stupid the future versions look next to the past ones#they're clowns now

Danny, the Young Justice member snippet nr 2
these snippets aren't connected in anyway but just some little scenes I came up with, everyone is welcome to build up on them if they want to
Trigger warning: death mentioned, self-harm mentioned, idk, Danny gets flashback to portal incident
unrelated snippet nr 1, unrelated snippet nr 3 (?)
Out, out, out.
He tripped over his own legs and almost fell and it didn’t matter because he needed to get out.
Away, away, away.
He wasn’t sure if he ran or flew or dragged himself on the rough floor but he had to get away. His back hit a wall and he couldn’t get past it, intangibility just out of his grasp.
He logically knew that Zeta Tube wasn't the same as the portal but it was similar. So deadly similar.
He wasn’t sure when his own, corps-like, trembling with rigor mortis cold hands started rubbing his arms. He also wasn’t sure whether it was to comfort himself in this lonely self-hug or to try to rub hard enough that the hazmat and skin underneath would be torn, allowing him to see his own, red blood running in his veins. It was still red, right? It was still red, right? Of course it was still running, why wouldn’t it?
His knees gave up. He fell to the ground with quiet reverbatting thump, his eyes fixated on danger at the other side of the large room. He had to get further away but he couldn’t.
Because he was dying again.
Eyes full of tears and terror were jumping around, unable to see the room around him. Why couldn’t he see anything? Why were there only splashes of various colors, all contrasting with a light gray background. Were these people? Colors were moving, that seemed likely. Ghosts?! He had to get ready if these were ghosts he needed to fight them. People could be in danger and he couldn’t even stand without support. He started it, he had to take care of it, no matter how he felt right now.
His normally overly, unnaturally sensitive ears were filled with constant electric buzz from still active Zeta Tubes.
He was quite sure someone was yelling something but no matter what, Danny couldn’t understand what was being said. He tried looking around again but his teary eyes still failed him. There were no red stains though. Not in the right shade at least. No one was bleeding. It was okay for now.
Was it really? He hadn’t bled when he was dying had his accident though. It was all inside him, the crushing hollowness inside him and infinite outside pressure making his body implode. Ectoplasm bubbling in his mouth, throat, stomach and fingers, silencing his scream of agony and destroying his muscles. His limbs were limp and tense, twitching like a broken light bulb, out of his control but not out of his senses. It was so cold that it bit his bones and so hot that his skin was melting. There were screams so loud that it could shatter glass, as if every inhabitant of the Ghost Zone wanted to be heard and absolute suffocating silence. He was alone like nobody ever was and stuck in a stifling crowd that could stomp him to death any second. It was all contrasting, impossible but happening, existing together. He lived died it.
It was impossible, just like him.
There were others, they could help while Danny got himself together.
They couldn’t help if it was a ghost. He had to calm down and get ready to fight.
He couldn’t.
It was all happening again.
He was dying again.
It hurt to even think about.
Would it at least kill him for good?
Air he hadn’t needed before, not since his first death he always needed, like all functioning, alive human beings, got stuck in his lungs. He was gasping for it, choking on it. There was something stuck in his throat. SOme part of his brain that wasn’t screaming in agony and panic and loneliness had considered tearing his neck open just to get whatever was stuck swallowing but it didn’t help.
He rubbed his arms harder. His eyes were locked on a blurred, still active portal. One of the color blobs moved, growing larger but he couldn’t think about what it meant. His arms hurt. It was good. Pain was grounding. In a gray room with few portals. Not the basement. Ghosts still could be there but it wasn't a basement. He still needed to get ready to fight
If he could feel pain, it meant he was alive, right? Ghosts never showed that they felt pain right? His parents always said they couldn’t.
He knew it was a lie but he felt like it was his last hope.
He realized that growing group of colors actually looked like a person but he had no way to tell whether they were alive or not. His ghost sense was quiet but he didn’t trust himself to not miss it. His throat was still shut tightly. His body kept twitching like a glitching character. No matter what, he couldn’t fight right then. He had to get himself together.
He scratched his arms almost violently.
Warm, soft, gentle hands pried his palms away from his arms. It wasn't a ghost. Ghosts weren't this gentle, this calmingly warm. Someone, someone who was alive, was crouching in front of him, face at the same level as his, hiding portals from his sight. Danny nearly sunk into their gentle touch.
“-om." their voice also was so gentle, filled with concern but firm enough to get to him over the buzz of portals. He tried to concentrate on this voice. He didn't want to hear portals.
"-ntom." It sounded like they were calling someone. He had to focus more to understand. Gentle grip on his wrists got more firm. There he was. He wouldn't feel it if he was dying again.
"Phantom." They called quietly, like little windbells Sam gave him as a birthday present. It was his name, they were asking him something he couldn't understand, something he couldn't do.
"I'm sorry."
He wasn't sure if any sound came out of his mouth.
Grip on his hands loosened a little, not enough for him to do anything about it, but enough to return to the pure feeling of safety and reassurance it gave him before.
“It's okay Phantom." they murmured. Danny nearly cried at their kindness and calmness. Air slowly started to fill his lungs again. It truly was okay, he wasn't dying again."Can you focus on five things you can see for me?"
He could do it. It wasn't much to repay the gentle person kneeling in front of him.
He blinked tears away and started the list in his head.
Black Canary in front of him.
Superboy in the middle of the room. He looked like he didn't know what to do.
Kid Flash next to him, ready to come to where Danny was shaking on the floor.
Robin and Artemis both made sure that Kid stayed where he was.
Miss Martian for sure feeling his panic and having trouble coping with this. He should calm down as soon as he can, he didn't want to cause any of his teammates too much stress.
Danny nodded, looking once again at the only adult hero in the room.
Molecules in his body were rearranging again. It all hurt.
"Thank you Phantom. Can you focus on four things you can hear?"
Five racing heartbeats.
One heartbeat that sounded more like buzz because of its speed. KF's heart was always weird.
Tapping of someone's feet.
Zeta Tubes.
He had been in the portal again, it had turned on with him inside again. He was dying again.
Next cautious nod.
"Alright. Now three things you can touch." Black Canary still sounded so calm, so sure she had it all under control. So contrary to her panicked heart. Danny wanted to believe her voice.
Canary's hands still on his wrists. In fact she was touching him more than he was her, but it still counted. There was some physics rule about it.
Cold stone he was sitting on. Weird, he was sure this cave was heated.
Hard wall pressing on his spine.
"Excellent. Two things you can smell?"
Jazz had done same exercise with him before.
Cookies made by Megan before she went on a mission.
Ectoplasm. Somewhere there was ectoplasm that wasn't inside him. He couldn't smell his own ecto. But there was no ghost in the cave. His sense was silent. It was there somehow else. It was concerning but not enough to make him panic again. They could handle it.
His lungs were still aching but air started filling them nearly as much as it did normally. His limbs stopped shaking so much too. He knew he wasn't dying this time. He was calming down.
"You're doing great Phantom. Now think, what's one thing you can taste?"
Aftertaste of ectoplasm he spat between the rough fight and the moment when Kid Flash rushed him to the nearest Zeta Tube, talking about medical attention. Danny tried to tell him, he didn't need that but he was inside before his explanation left his mouth.
"Do you feel better now?"
"Yeah," It was all he was able to say at the moment. He truly felt better but that didn't mean good. It was only a little less bad than shitty, one step from fully dead.
I considered writing continuation with Danny explaining a bit what happened and how he even ended up in Zeta Tube but a) lost spark to rewrite it b) hated what already had But if you want, I can probably rub my remaining two braincels together and continue. Or someone else can. Do it if you want to. Do it. Do it
#dp x yj#dpxyj#dp x dc#dpxdc#dcxdp#dc x dp#once again Danny didn't even consider telling his team that he is halfa#but it doesn't matter this as much I think#once again I have no idea about the timeline#I think Danny would hate Zetas because it reminds him too much of the portal incident#and before anyone comes at me saying that Danny used portal later in the show and had no problems with it#*yeah* but after first time portal worked like overglorified door/corridor hybrid and not tear him apart and build up again#Judging by the way Zeta travel is animated#i assume they work on the “destroy your current body remake it where you won't to go” basis or something similar#you can see how Danny would be uneasy with it#btw this is one of my main headcanons I can and will always use unless story demands something eles#but even then I'm not above looking into every other way to achieve plot without use of Zeta or make at least mention that he is shaken aft#anyway#have a nice day dear stranger who got to this part

Just considering the potential horrific deaths the JL may have suffered under someone who has intangibility in their power list
Like! There’s a general agreement that Dan eviserated the JL [The magic users probably lasting longer] in his timeline but I don’t think we touched on the horrifying potential.
We are all perfectly aware of the gory violent potential Dan is capable of [*Eyeing the unspoken murder/suicide of his human half and how that might have gone*].
If he can kill off his Fenton half [and inflict whatever misery he might have gleefully put Masters through] without a thought, what do you think he would do to the caped community?
Especially if you go the “JL ignored Amity Parks’ call for help” route
Also: It wouldn’t have been a long ongoing battle. This dude would probably disappear from days to weeks at a time [Either rejuvenating in the Ghost Zone or making himself the ghost’ problem]. The heroes would be on edge just waiting for when he’d come back
Ten years of being this unkillable thing’s punching bag
Don’t mind me, just suddenly vying for a violently gruesome fic of Dan against the Justice League.
A hopeless-No light in the horizon-utter desperation fic
#DPxDC#DCxDP#dp x dc crossover#how desperate do you think they were?#Dan probably went out of his way to destroy anything that could have been used against him#He has the combined smarts for it#like! He probably started out as a horrific rumor for the JL before he decided to make his debut#do you think the teen heroes had the misfortune of meeting him first???#or did he spend the remainder of his adolescence in the GZ and Amity shaping himself into a bigger problem#and then there’s the fact Fright Knight was working for him#That timeline was probably a place of nightmares#the closest we came to touching that subject is through the mention of future time travelers#danny phantom#justice league

Headcanon that Kayne does hold up his end of the bargain--in fact he already did it.
The baby Arthur and John rescued in season 1 is Faroe, the mother is Bella and they were both brought over by Kayne from another universe. In their universe she survived giving birth and Arthur died on the way back from the bar. Bella has no clue she's been taken out of her universe so imagine she catches a glimpse of her dead husband skulking around and doesn't seem to recognize her after returning her kidnapped child to her before disappearing again.
Also imagine her trying to get in touch with her dad to find he's been attacked by a hitman and also he thinks that she is dead.

Big fan of time travel AU's, but I rise you a better one then just a fix it. Jon's sent back alone after MAG 200 without Martin and has to fix everything himself. No Martin to make sure he doesn't do something stupid, only Jon and his bad choices.
Now, what do you think Jon would do with S1 Jon? Kill him of course! He's getting in the way of his plans to save everyone and we all know that Jon hates himself, so why not kill him? While he's at it, why not kill Elias Jonah and take control of the institute to ensure his friends are safe?
Bonus idea; S5 Jon uses S1 Martin to get him to do things for him and help cope with the fact that his Martin is gone. God I love unhealthy coping mechanisms!
#tma#the magnus archives#magnus pod#my thoughts#time travel au#jon sims#fanfic idea#aka the idea that i'm rolling with for a fix-it au that doesn't fix the main problem#also known as jon's bad choices and not seeing the big picture#also also known as jon not getting help because he's “too good for that”

levin should've had way more issue when they met him again in season 2
#no fucking shot he remembered aph he was like 4#he shouldve had way more complicated feelings towards her#feels like all aphmaus kids kinda lack depth because they was afraid of giving them issues and making aph look like a bad mom#i think the time skip being 15 years really fucked over any characterization they couldve given levin and malachi#they couldve traveled on the boat with the gang and gone on adventures and given aph opportunities to be a parent#intead they were replaced with lilith who was then replaced with alina who are functionally the same character#aphmau#levin mcd#aphblr#levin is a character whos primary example of the deepest form of love that was modeled for him is sacrifice THAT FUCKS KIDS UP#and he lives in the shadow of garroth and aphmau who he shouldnt remember and is expected to live up to hes got PROBLEMS#AND! and he grew up with elves who are DEFINATLY prejudiced against humans and hes a half elf#minecraft diaries#mcd

S1E9 TimeTravel AU - Jayce enlists Jinx to blow up the HexGates. Cait and Vi bond over their siblings going crazy. Silco is tired.
Ekko arrives a bit earlier just as Jayce is shooting Viktor in the chest. Jayce gets sent back in time somehow from the combined power of the Z-Drive and the Commune's collective death.
Jayce's consciousness rockets back in time and splices with his younger self just as he's finished 'negotiating' with Silco. Still reeling from his Arcane induced-trauma and killing his partner as well as who knows how many people by proxy, he arrives half feral and about 99.7% convinced he's either hallucinating or in Runeterra's version of Hell.
Jayce, canonically suicidal, Talis comes to the conclusion that he needs to blow up the Hex Gates and that the resulting explosions will either jar him out of his hallucination or finally put him out his misery and let him join Viktor.
Unfortunately, after months spent in isolation in an apocalyptic future, Jayce has gained an unfortunate habit of talking to himself as he figures out problems.
And Silco has been standing there the whole time.
Silco reiterates that he's not going to give up Jinx and Jayce just goes 'I don't give a fuck about her anymore' and attempts to leave.
Silco is absolutely befuddled by Jayce's complete personality change, but refuses to show it. After raising Jinx, he's learned a few methods for bringing people back from the edge. And considering his investment in getting access to the Hex Gates, he is very unwilling to let Jayce just walk away.
Especially when Jayce mentions he's supposed to be dead.
----
Silco convinces Jayce he'll need an explosions expert and that he'd never be able to blow up all the Hex Gates by himself. Jayce holds resentment for Jinx blowing up his partner and pseudo-sister's mom but had calmed down enough to realize that if he was in the past, it would be better to be close to Jinx and prevent history from repeating itself.
Cue Silco and Sevika having to wrangle Arcane-ified Jayce and Shimmered Jinx and prevent them both from causing Hexplosions.
Jayce, dis-illusioned with the Council, decides it would be faster to just pull a Viktor and 'not ask for permission' before destroying Hextech. He tells Silco that if he's willing to help destroy the Hex Gates, he'll give him his nation of Zaun -- and pardon Jinx.
---
Elsewhere, in Piltover, Viktor has collapsed in the lab and entered a coma. There's a strange pattern on his chest and back. Almost as if he'd been shot with a very powerful energy blast from a very large hammer. But no injury, it was as if it had already been healed.
---
When Jinx kidnaps Cait and Vi, Jayce is the one to ask her to spare Cait and let her leave. But also, the one to stop Cait from shooting Jinx.
"Stand down, Sprout."
"What are you doing! She's killed people Jayce."
"So have I. And I need her." Jayce is still suffering hallucinations and time-travel-induced jetlag, so in the tense moment he forget when he is and admits to killing Salo and blowing a hole through Viktor's chest.
Caitlyn is more shocked by the latter, "You-you killed Viktor?" She liked Viktor as a friend, they got along despite their differences. "Why? Why would you do that!"
Jayce, dissociating and in complete sincerity, "Because I needed to save him."
Following that insane response, Jayce slowly walks toward Cait with a pleading look in his eye, "Jinx is going to help me destroy HexTech and then we can save everyone. And then I can focus on curing Viktor!"
Cait looks into Jayce's -her brother's- eyes and understands Vi a little bit more, her desperation to see the good in Jinx.
Caitlyn can see her brother in this stranger's eyes, but he feels miles away. She has no idea how she's going to reach him.
#arcane#arcane au#arcane jayce#jayce talis#jinx arcane#arcane silco#caitlyn kiramman#arcane violet#jayvik#s2 jayce#arcane s1e9#it's important to me that you know Jayce has a psychosomatic limp now#and he still feels slight pain in his knee from his injury despite it technically not existing yet#silco was NOT invited to the kidnapping dinner party this time and is frantically trying to find them before they do something crazy#I see so many jayvik time travel AUs where they go to the council to stop hextech but that's too easy#and unrealistic given the Council's greed#Let Jayce blow up his problems#its worked out so well for him so far [this is sarcasm]#Jayce and Vi have bookstreet but Jinx and Jayce have whatever the fuck this is#arcane fic idea#if you write this tag me pls
