Well, what can I say. He influenced my life more than all my teachers combined ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Happy 70th Birthday to Jackie Chan! ^___^

I appreciate that Fallen London's whole through line with Spices means Pages absolutely could have had a hybrid child with the protag of Mask of the Rose and just. Kept it in the towers of the bazaar because its only like 30 some years old.

Which i can only assume means its the equivalent of a 19 year old manager of a local mcdonalds. Definitely old enough to have a lot of responsibility, but you're not going to let it try to negotiate with anything higher up the chain than a human that is far more interested in a paycheck than arguing. The potential is there, though, so Pages probably has it reading and writing as much as it can stand before flying off to brood at its human parent about how 'Pages said i had to read a whole book of Correspondence before i got to play with my phonographs again and i do not want to, besides you cant even type it properly without things exploding--why should i care?'

Probably given supervision over the city's printing presses. Not what they print, just the manufacture and maintenance of the presses--including knowing just who has one. Maybe typewriters and maintenance shops for them.

"Parent, i want to oversee more! I want the phonographs!" It complains. "And the wax cylinders!" "When your maturvelopment is complete, child." Assures Pages, patting the youngling on the head before bopping it on the nose with a gloved hand. "Now, back to studying! You cannot comprehend the volumitude of information we have obtained without it!" This earns a dissatisfied chitter before the young master scurries off into the depths of the tower to read. Mostly about many different types of machines for storing and marking out information. This is done in a nest of blankets in a corner where its human parent cannot see it sneak before dinner snacks of fruit.

Not pictured is Pages scolding its human partner for spoiling the Young Master by helping it brush its fur and polish its horns well after it can do that itself. Partner insists Pages is just jealous and earns a squint accompanied by a huff. This is dealt with by them grooming it as well, though Young Master makes gagging noises in the background because its parents are flirting again.

Keep pondering a Fallen London timeline where Pages had a hybrid with the protag from Mask of the Rose through some process and said child is referred to as The Young Master.

Pages spends its whole pregnancy both insisting it's not pregnant and having internalized anxiety about trying to divine meaning into it wanting to eat fish at 7am but only raw. Not because it isnt thrilled but because its terrified. The other masters that give a shit are unluckily also probably not so fond of Pages itself, the whole being with a human thing, or the very idea of mixing material. The insistence that the whole thing is in service of producing a good love story is a thin cover at best, but good golly its clinging to it.

Fun additions to this mental au include: Pages getting blissed out on a music box its lover found for the baby and promptly stealing it. Literally every Master knowing its pregnant and initially Hearts tries to take bets on who did it before being soundly sworn at. Lover moving in with Pages to help since it is their child too, and the inevitable process of Redecorating since everything is v much not their size. Debates about how the kid will look occupying the conversation whenever Lover visits Chapman's to check up on ppl, with Archie insisting hes "not that kind of doctor--if those exist" when asked. Griz spends a good deal of these conversations deadpan staring into the middle distance, imagining the paperwork backlog that will appear when Pages dips out to deliver and recover.

Not pictured in all this is the mental image of Pages absolutely hating nursery rhymes for not having a coherent narrative depth. Because its implied.

By FL times the kiddo would be old enough to be kinda pissed most things are already in hand so to speak. It likes fish and the zea. Would that make it Mr. Fish? Sails? Fins? Its conflicted and this leads to a lot of "I cant shrink down rn I'm POUTING".

Day 12: Time Travel

“Sooooo Phantom, do ya have any siblings?” Kid Flash asked as he tried to make small talk with the newest recruit to the team.

A few days ago, Young Justice was called to a meeting by Batman where he introduced their new team mate, Phantom. Phantom was a tough looking dude, he was jacked and towered over them all, even Conner!

Batman didn’t give them much information about the guy but apparently John Constentine was the one who suggested him for the team since he needed “community service hours”.

The dude was currently drinking some soda next to the computer as Red Robin searched for any new info on their latest mission. He turned his attention away from the can, and stared at Wally, his red eyes piercing into his soul.

“Why?” 

“Well we are all about to go on a mission together and none of us really know you so I think it’d be best if we all got to know you better,” that was half true. Mostly Wally was just being nosey, but the dude really did make everyone nervous since he was this really tough dude with blood red eyes and apparently was here because John Constentine said he needed community service hours???? Constentine typically say some wild shit, but what the fuck do you mean by community service? Wally knows you can’t use those for school, he’s tried, and what else gave you community service? Juvie and prison!!

Phantom stared at him hard for a few seconds, his eyes searing into the back of Wally’s skull before saying, “Okay fine”.

The answer surprised everyone in the room, I mean the guy had barely even spoken the last few days and had rejected every question about his personal life.

“Depending on how you see it, I have 2 to 4 siblings”

“Is your father a serial adopter too?” Tim joked.

“Yes and no”

“Huh?” 

“It’s pretty complicated,” Phantom shrugged, seemingly deciding to end the conversation there and taking another swig of his drink.

However, Tim, out of annoyances of every attempt to get to know this jerk being thwarted and a bit of confidence his family was more complicated, decided to challenge Phantom’s statement.

“Ehh, it probably isn’t as complicated as my family, we got about 50 more siblings adopted each month, all with lots much trauma”

At this, Phantom narrowed his eyes at Tim.

“I see what your doing, your trying to get me to talk tell you guy more about my family by acting like yours are more insane”

“Am I?” Tim asked, trying to hide the shivers going down his spine from the way Phantom was staring at him.

Phantom to a huge swig of his soda, emptying it and throwing it into the garbage, before fully turning to Tim.  

“You’re lucky I am always good for competitions, now sit down this is going to take a bit”

Tim gladly obliged and soon everyone sat around Phantom as if it were storytime in kindergarten.

“Okay, so at first I only had an older sister and my parents” Phantom began, “but then they died because of a mistake I made and I had to move in with my evil godfather”

Megan raised her hand and asked, “Isn’t a godfather someone who is very close to the family? Why would your parents choose an evil person?”

“‘Cause my dad was oblivious to this and though they were good friends even though the dudes tried to kill him multiple times”

“I see,” Megan lowered her hand, no less confused.

“There I went mad with grief and had him remove my humanity and tried to kill all of humanity”

“I think that was a bit of an overreaction,” Wally joked.

“You tried to kill all of humanity? Why weren’t we told of this when it happened?” Kaldur'ahm asked.

“That was in a different timeline, I was a big enough problem that they gods tried to kill the younger version of me to stop me, so to avoid dying, my younger version decide to try to defeat me and the only reason he did was cause I was underestimating him,” Phantom emphasized the last part because he had to stress he didn’t not lose to a 15 year old boy because he was weaker than him.

“What happened next?,” Artemis asked, completely inraptured in the story.

“I was then imprisoned for sometime before escaping, causing problems and then realizing that causing younger mean the same pain I experienced won't bring my loved ones back,” Phantom continued to explain, “so I am now going to therapy, doing community service, and got the majority of my powers taken away”.

“Is your therapist open to seeing new patients?” Konner asked.

“No, but this timelines version of my sister is and she has a lot of experience so I can give you her number instead”

“Sure, that’ll work”

“Okay,” Phantom said before writing her number down and handing it to Konner, “The thing is I can’t go back to living with my real parents because they don’t know that I am Phantom so I have to go back to living this timelines version of my godfather”

“You gotta be kidding me” Tim groans.

“Exactly what I said!!” Phantom put his arm up defensively, “Fortunately, this version is a little better, he is no longer tiring to kill my dad and has stopped chasing after my mom, he did clone the other of me and now there is a genderbent version of him but my godfather treats her like a princess and will not stop spoiling her, which I am also guilty of”

Phantoms continues to explain more and in the back of Tim's mind he remembers he was supposed to be doing something but honestly this conversation was too good to care.

“Anyways that's how I technically have 2 to 4 siblings, Jazz and Elle are permanently my sisters and I love them so much, and even though the other Jazz is technically the same as this Jazz, I still think of her as someone else, someone I miss dearly. Also if I considered this Jazz my sister, I guess I’d have to considered the other me as my brother”

“Damn bitch your family is crazy” Wally said, happy he finally managed to get through Phantom’s tough skin.

As they finished up their storytime, the Zeta-tubes activated and Red Tornado and an upset looking Batman walked to the group.

“You all were supposed to leave thirty minutes ago”
