DP x DC Ancient of Space: Lair

I’ve seen Danny being the ancient of space pop up a few times. A lot of it interprets that as the ancient of outer space, but I propose he has dominion pver the concept of physical space. Clockwork has time, Danny would have space, making them the counterparts for each other

So, imagine if you will, Danny only recently coming into his spatial powers retreating to his lair in the Ghost Zone. It’s too dangerous to have uncontrolled spatial distortions just randomly appearing in the human world. 

His lair is an extension of himself. His spatial powers extend not just to himself, but to his lair. It connects to liminal spaces. Walking through school hallways after hours? One of those doors leads to his lair. All night diner with flickering florescent lights and you’re the only customer? Carefull going to the bathroom or you might just end up somewhere else. Closed down building, or even buildings that never were there. Sometimes at just the right time, places just exsist, and they all lead to Danny’s lair. Inside is an MC Escher esque labyrinth of rooms, hallways, tunnels, ever shifting as their connections to the human world alter and shift.

Enter the Batfam

I pick Tim for this. He sees a building he’s never seen before on a street he’s very familiar with. He checks the address. 

“Hey Oracle? Is there a 147 Becker street?”

“No, Becker street stops at 144 before merging into Roosevelt.”

“That’s what I thought, but I’m there, I see it right in front of me.”

“What?”

Tim is too curious for his own good, and probably a bit sleep deprived. He enters the building only to get turned around and not be able to find where he came in from. It wouldn’t be so concerning if the building didn’t seem to go on and on. 

Next thing we know, Danny finds Red Robin wandering around, completely lost in his lair. The tricky part is getting him out around the right area and time, because space and time are connected, and when one is weird, so is the other. They need to take the scenic route, much to the impatience of Red Robin. He eventually gets him close enough: Bloodhaven. Tim can always get a ride back from Dick, then he looks at his watch. 

It’s only been 30 minutes. He had been wandering for hours, yet only 30 minutes had passed. 

Que confusion and shenanigans when somehow, yet more Bats wander into Danny’s lair

Mobius still wants that drink with Loki that he never got as Don. 💚

Me: We are in the 2020s, I am in my 30s and fully an Adult.

My Brain: idk, that all sounds fake, but we'll pretend I guess.

Why did it take me until now to realise the (mental) age gap between Cale (36) and Alberu (23) is the same as the gap from Alberu to On (10)?!!!

I mean, I knew their ages but still?!!! It took me daydreaming way too hard to notice.

Books of 2024: ALWAYS NORTH by Vicki Jarrett.

To me, the scariest place on our entire planet is the Arctic, partially because the scariest thing on our entire planet are polar bears, which have been stalking my nightmares since middle school. So, of course, when I saw a fucked-up polar bear on the cover of a weird and fucked up maybe mystery maybe thriller definitely apocalyptic sci-fi adjacent book that takes place in the Arctic, I thought, "Oh yeah I should definitely start reading that at nighttime IMMEDIATELY while winter still nibbles on the edges of the weather, this is foolproof."

Reader: I am the Fool™.

I'm 80 pages in, and so far we've got weird inexplicable shit going on that we're trying to ignore, and we've been warned about bears SO Many Times All Over The Place (yikes), and we're now being stalked by a polar bear who has a History with the captain (borderline Moby Dick but make it a vicious land-capable predator), and time is fake because it's Always Daylight and we are doing Science on a Boat but make it Evil Capitalism also, and there's some neat textual framework going on with chapter headers, and I'm excited to see where this all goes!!

Time moves differently in Narnia. Four kids who have probably never been away from either of their parents are now separated from both. Dad's off at war, mom is hunkering down, scared, alone, in London. The blast that destroys their house could come at any moment.

Keep in mind that the kids have NO CLUE when they enter Narnia (or at anytime until they exit the wardrobe at the end) that time passes differently at home than in Narnia.

They must be worried sick about their mother, who probably thinks they are dead. All their friends, relatives, teachers, everyone must be frantic with worry over their disappearance. They probably assume the Professor is getting questions from the police, and how would he explain that the children really haven't GONE ANYWHERE but that they aren't here?

As disappointing as a life of being children again must have been, I would think it would be a relief to finally know that no one mourned you, no one missed you. What a relief that must have been, even in the midst of the hurt at having to leave your beloved Narnia behind.

I just realized, from the leaks, the part 1 finale is basically DOTD reversed

spoilers under the cut

We have a villain(Ras/Yang) using a specific phase of the moon(blood/yin-yang) in conjunction with a magical artifact(gong&mallet/yin blade) to open a portal to revive someone antagonistic(forbidden five/Yang himself), which is stopped as one of the ninja enters the portal instead(Cole becoming human again/Kai being trapped with the forbidden five). Really hope they at least put in a little reference to day of the departed, because this is an awful lot of coincidence otherwise

crazy how my birthday is in 19 days. that doesn't feel right. saying "i'll be 20 in 19 days" feels wrong. Time is weird.

F2P's DPS Baizhu is doing pretty darn well for not having a crit book, and has even been carrying weekly bosses with Kuki, Xingqui, and a baby level 20 Charlotte on the team mooching friendship xp and procing Noblesse. I'm liking the recent-ish event book on doctah-mon for its passive, since Wanderer won't let go of his Lost Prayer for anything and Yanfei has threatened legal action if I take the account's single R1 Widsith away from her (partly because Wanderer stole Lost Prayer from her to begin with... that case is still ongoing).

Meanwhile on the EU low spenders side of the universe, building Thoma has turned out to be a blast even before future Albedo's arrival. I plan to run alchemy boi with Thoma and hopefully C6 Bennett (he's C5 now, at worst I'll buy the last constellation out of the store when Benny's month arrives again). But yeah, Thoma has been helping Nahida hunt substats for her DPS deepwood set, and gameplay in that domain went from leisurely hyperbloom shielded by Layla, to "OMG WHO CALLED IN THE NUCLEAR STRIKE!???" That'd be the house-husbando, ladies.
