#they are the best part of this show

[attonitos-gloria]

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who's into viserys x daemon. I was reading some interviews and matt smith says daemon really loves viserys and all his actions are mainly motivated by wanting his brother's attention. He wants his approval and trust, to rule by his side. While paddy considine says viserys also loves daemon, but he doesn't trust him and is deeply hurted by him. It's very compelling.

OH MY GOD ANON, yes, i think there's like, five of us but yes. part of the blame for me rests on eldritcher's amazing series about targaryens and in particular the targaryens of the Dance. but once you see it, you can't unsee it!?! whatever is going on between viserys and daemon is my favorite part of the show so far. i love the attention they are giving to their relationship. it's one of the things that makes both of them interesting and nuanced and, frankly, to me, likable? the way viserys left daemon alone for three years on the stepstones and he turned the tides as soon as viserys gave a sign; daemon deciding not to have sex with rhaenyra; daemon stealing the dragon's egg... it's literally impossible to understand daemon's moves without the context of his co-dependent relationship to viserys. viserys knows that even if daemon is unpredictable, he holds some sort of power over daemon, because daemon always always comes back to him in the end... they are always on each other's mind.

and i dont know. it's like viserys *needs* daemon to be his foil, viserys needs daemon to be chaotic so he can feel relieved that he isn't like daemon, so he can tell himself that him being crowned king was not a mistake, it was the right call, and he IS the ~protector of the realm. but daemon is the only one truly protecting HIM!!

and the romance between daemon and rhaenyra also gets so much better with the siblings dynamics in the background. of course, they have so many things in common, they've always been close, since nyra was a child. but as time passes... viserys cannot control them, viserys looks at them and sees "the blood of the dragon", they are dragons in a way himself will never be. but he is the king, and he has the last word on things, so nyra and daemon are always trying to please him and it feels like it's never enough, viserys finds them lacking all the time: because she is a woman, because he is a rogue, because even after he names nyra his heir, nyra refuses to play the part. at the same time nyra and daemon, too, find viserys lacking: they are always displeased with him, they both think viserys should be more of a dragon-king. he should send dragonriders to battle! he should start this war! he should dismiss his Hand! he should have this city wrapped around his little finger so let's cover the streets of king's landing in blood in his name! he should be stronger, better! in the end viserys cannot love them fully as brother and daughter, because he is the king first, he has to put the realms first. this is a predicament daemon and rhaenyra share, this power viserys has over their lives: no one else feels the burden of it like they do. it's a bond so strong, so heavy, that rhaenyra and daemon literally speak in a different language... like the idea that daemon fell in love with viserys daughter BECAUSE she was viserys daughter, and not in spite of it. leave me alone.

also paddy and matt are perfect in their roles. flawless casting.

ok im sorry this is long. i have Feelings and Thoughts as you can see. but everyone in this story is SO caged in the narrative. it's driving me insane. there's no way out for them, it's all so tragic. and the way the show decided to make daemon/viserys part of the driving force of this drama... *chef's kiss*

tsum events really are just the best, huh

[aalghul]

once again thinking about jason as duke’s robin. he’s ~4 years younger than jason, and that puts him at 8-12 during Jason’s time as robin. that’s prime time to get attached to your local kid vigilante before your own life goes downhill.

and if we try to keep duke’s meeting with bruce in zero year + duke’s age (so he can remember the meeting and hold that conversation with bruce), he has to be around 8. if he starts following batman through the news at that time because of the mess that just happened, the robin he sees is probably jason. I’ve literally connected the dots

[nerdpoe]

Jason agrees to go through the legal hassle of being declared alive again. Mostly so he can go to college like how he wanted.

He would have done it under a fake ID, but he kinda wanted the success of having a Masters in English attached to the name he grew up with.

It's going pretty great, actually! He's making friends, gets to punch random paparazzi's in the face, and learning has always been fun for him.

But one of his college friends, Danny Fenton, is...weirdly obsessed with Wayne Manor?

Jason gets it, he does, the Manor is huge and of course the guy would want to see it as often as he could.

Then he starts to realize that Danny is strangely attentive to Bruce.

Like, actually flirting with Bruce.

Oh no his college friend, who is his age, is flirting with Bruce so hard it's making Bruce blush.

OR; Danny thinks Bruce is hot, and that the outraged faces of the man's children as Danny flirts with him are hilarious. Also Jason started it by trying to flirt with Danny's mom when he met Danny.

DP X DC PROMPT #27

(Time for something a little more lighthearted/found family. Could probably also make this a crack prompt instead.)

(#) = Notes at the end of post

(*) = Just me building off of other ideas.

Visitation Rights

When Danny went to list Dani/Ellie as his heir after she'd come back from her years of traveling the world, he was quickly informed that he already had one in line for the thrown.

"What? Since when?!"

The pretentious, floating eyeball looked like he wanted to be anywhere else other than here, providing information to King Phantom, but explained anyway.

"The day you officially achieved royal status, you permanently linked your being to the Infinite Realms. When this happened, however, a child was in the process of being created with the assistance of ectoplasmic runoff that's been leaking into the mortal world for centuries. As a result of your power being incorporated into the Realms at such a time, this human child retained an imprint of your core signature. The Infinite Realms itself has recognized this child as your offspring. Your... other offspring has yet to be recognized in such a way and would therefore be considered your second heir once claimed."

Danny stared at the Observant with wide, blank eyes that were slowly filling with dread and panic.

"Why are you just telling me this now?? My coronation was over a decade ago!" He held his face in his hands and gave a horrified groan at what he just learned.

"If you really wanted that clone as your heir, I'm afraid it's too late to change it-"

Danny's head shot back up with a snarl and furious green eyes.

"That's not what I'm upset about you walking cataracts! Eleven years! I've missed eleven years of this kid's life!! How could you think I-"

At a loss for words, he growled deep in his chest. Deep enough that it echoed throughout the halls and rattled the floors.

"Who is this kid, and where can I find them?"

Once given the information and learning of the child's other parental figures, he gets to work. A few weeks later, he appears in the home office of a well-known billionaire with a stack of papers that he promptly slams onto the desk in front of the startled man. (1)

"I demand visitation rights to our son, Damian Wayne."

✦

(1) Danny actually visited Talia first to get visitation rights. Needless to say, that didn't go very well. He's still got a couple knives floating around in his chest cavity because of it.

(*) ALSO! I'm not sure how this lines up with the DC/Batman timeline. All I figured out is that if Danny waited to be crowned until after he graduated college as an astrophysicist, which take 5 to 7 years, he'd be about 36 years old when he finds out about Damian. Bruce would be about 41, so the age gap is only 5 years. If y'all wanna make this Danny/Bruce, go ahead!

let's see how far we've come :)

[image id: digital illustration of john egbert, jade harley, rose lalonde, and dave strider from homestuck. they are all laying on a blue checkered picnic blanket laying on top of one another in a familiar manner and smiling.

john is at the center laughing heartily while jade is to the right laying down on her side. dave is to the left and is in a comfortable lounging position with one leg over one of john's and is resting his head in rose's lap who is smirking at john and jade's antics.

they are all in their respective godtier outfits. around them are some lush grassy hills with variously colored wildflowers spotting the landscape and the sburb sun setting behind them. end image id.]
