S1 E12 Supernatural
Sam willing to do anything to save Dean. Kinda wanna see what becomes of Sam's phone call to John, like was he worried? They have an interesting moral code, they're willing to hunt evil things but here Dean toyed with the idea of killing the reverend for playing God. I wonder how far this goes, in the asylum episode Sam was adamant that the spirits of the patients weren't attacking and after they saw that they didn't try to salt and burn them, just the evil Doctor spirit. I wonder what they would do in a flipped situation. What if they went out on a supposed supernatural hunt and it was just a human murderer no supernatural elements would they still kill them? Where's their line in the sand? What is a monster and what is a human? What is good, what is evil?
#or completely flip the narrative! what if the humans were harming a supernatural creature that was just living their life not harming humans#what side would they take the supernatural being thats getting hurt or the humans that are hurting them?#batcavescolony watches supernatural#batcavescolony watches#supernatural#supernatural s1#s1 e12#sam winchester#dean winchester#again first ish watch through i watched some episodes but i dont think i got to cass but also im on tumblr so ik sceens and bits of lore#that are out of context.#john winchester#like#But when does a comet become a meteor?#When does a candlе become a blaze?#Whеn does a man become a monster?#When does a ripple become a tidal wave?When does the reason become the blame?When does a man become a monster?#spn

a Single(1) miscellaneous danyal al ghul thing:
Sam and Tucker gave Danny the song "Just a Man" from the musical Epic as a song recommendation because one of them heard it somewhere (probably tiktok) and wanted to share it with him.
Danny then proceeded to listen to that song and only that song for an entire week. Sam and Tucker were not expecting him to like it so much. (Danny was not expecting to resonate with it so much. They gave him the emotional equivalent of a punch to the gut and didn't even realize.)
miscellaneous danyal al ghul things
specifically about the danyal al ghul from my post/prompt here and i wanna get my misc. headcanons/thoughts on him (especially in his early stay with the fentons) out here before i make any other danyal al ghul aus
list under the cut because whoops this got longer than i expected. which really i should have expected
the Fentons are unaffiliated with the League, which was perfect for Danny faking his death.
he struggles with empathy. Empathy was not taught nor encouraged while he was with the League, so it's a skill that's been pretty stunted. At 15 he's better at empathizing with people, but he still struggles with it. He's pretty bad at reassuring/comforting people and usually acts as an emotional rubber duck for Sam and Tucker to vent to if need be. He sometimes offers blunt and sometimes mean opinions, especially if its about another person.
Sam and Tucker do not know he's an ex-assassin, they are however, pretty positive that he used to be part of an eco-fascist cult with a focus on martial arts?? They've been helping him tone down some of his more,,, extreme views on humanity ever since they caught wind of his more extreme ideologies.
He and Sam are still avid environmentalists and feed into each other quite a bit. They spend plenty of time at protests and pestering the school into more eco-friendly options.
Dash is not dead on the sole fact that Danny knew he had to lay low in Amity Park and killing someone was not, in fact, 'laying low'.
he did, however, traumatize him when Dash first tried to bully him. Safe to say, Danny is not bullied at school and neither are Sam and Tucker.
Danny didn't make any friends in his first year at Amity Park. He was surly, grumpy, standoffish, more stubborn than Sam, and pretty self-important about himself. Jazz was trying to teach him against these things, but she is a 12 year old unaffiliated with the League. Danny did not respect her nor listen to a word she said. It wasn't until like, year two that he finally started paying to mind what she was saying and slowly started to improve on himself
Sam approached him first, he rebuffed her quite harshly, and then Danny approached her sometime afterward when he overheard her talking about environmental rights. Sam completely ignored him though when he agreed with her, and Danny had to later learn that he needed to apologize for being rude to her when they first met. He did so eventually, and they started to talk more with Tucker and Sam.
Danny's a bit more reserved than he is in canon, although he steadily learns how to act as a regular teenager when he's out in public. He's a bit more friendlier at least, although when he's around Sam and Tucker he drops the act. He still has a somewhat formal way of talking, it's just become more casual after a lot of ribbing from Sam and Tucker. When he's angry or annoyed he starts talking poshly though.
His humor is relatively the same as in canon, if somehow dryer and more insulting at some points
Those rare moments where he gets really pissed usually ends up with him insulting someone in arabic or any of the other languages he picked up from the league. He is the go-to for Tucker's Spanish homework. (Tucker makes that mistake and learns that Danny is a very strict teacher)
while Danny doesn't view the Fentons as his parents, even five years after living with them, he does respect them to some amount. He respects them enough at least that when Vlad Masters comes sniffing around, he is suitably offended on both Maddie and Jack's behalf. And when he finds out Vlad was the one who tried to kill Jack and tried to tell him to renounce him as his father/parental guardian, danny threw a suitably sharp object at him and insulted him quite horrendously
Vlad still wants him as his kid. In fact perhaps even moreso after this.
Danny trains with Maddie to keep up with his training. It's not quite the same but it prevents him from getting completely rusty
Sam and Tucker know that Danny has a little brother, but nothing else beyond that other than Danny cares about him quite a lot and that he got his facial scar from keeping him safe.
Danny cares about Sam, Tucker, and Jazz quite a bit, but he struggles to convey it. Especially early on when he realized he cared about them and like instinct started being harsher to them and more critical of their actions. This resulted in quite a few arguments with Sam and Tucker and Jazz until he got sat down and told outright that the way he was treating them wasn't okay. It's a process he's still trying to unlearn even at 15. He has become kinder towards them as a result, and has begun looking for what they did right rather than what they did wrong.
He harbors a lot of guilt over how he treated Damian in the League, and its a pretty big conflict he has with himself since he's torn between telling himself it was for the best to make sure Damian survived the League, and feeling like crap over how harsh/critical of Damian he was and realizing that he probably could have come up with a better way of training him despite being a child himself at the time. Danny comes to the realization that more than anything, that he just wants to apologize.
His ghost form, specifically is outfit, is a combination of his hazmat suit and his uniform from the league, and he carries a sword with him. He also doesn't know how to react to Dani, honestly. Although it is fair to say that he figures out she's a clone instantly because of her whole 'I'm your third cousin once removed' thing and he freaks out. She spills the beans pretty quickly after that. And Danny is pretty skittish around her - or the equivalent of skittish. Her being younger than him kinda reminds him of Damian, so he's uncomfortable by her presence but learns to warm up to her.
#he sat in his room. upside down with his legs hanging on the bed. staring at the wall with this playing in his ears#danyal al ghul cries rarely but this came in very very fucking close. he felt very numb listening to this. in a bad. good. cathartic? way?#he played the ending 'when does a comet become a meteor' part over and over again#'when does a candle become a blaze. when does a man become a monster.'#'when does a ripple become a tidal wave. when does the reason become the blame. when does a man become a monster'#im just imagining him playing this and mouthing the lyrics 'forgive me' over and over whenever they come up. and then immediately#replaying that part when it ends#woof the angst that comes with ex-assassin danyal is STRONG and delicious. smth smth i've noticed is a common theme in my writing is the#self-dehumanization of my main character and them learning to believe themselves to be a person again. and. mmmm yeah writing is#the window to the soul isnt it. moving on. danyal believing himself to be a weapon to be pointed at and unable to shake that belief even#years after leaving the league. its something he's kept to himself so his family doesn't really realize that's how he views himself so#they can't help him with it.#who are you when you believe you're nothing more than the shield that blocks the sword and the sword that cuts the flesh.#the protector never the protected. the scarred. the dying. the dead. the ghost clawing its way out of its grave because its job isnt done#and its job will never BE done until it knows that its little brother is safe and sound. until it knows that its loved ones are safe too#because now he has more than one person to love and protect

The verse ‘But when does a comet become a meteor? / When does a candlе become a blaze? / When does a man become a monster? / When does a ripple become a tidal wave? / When does the reason become the blame? / When does a man become a monster?’ reminds me of fnaf characters
#‘But when does a comet become a meteor?' Charlie#'When does a candlе become a blaze?' Mike#'When does a man become a monster?' William#'When does a ripple become a tidal wave?' Sammy#'When does the reason become the blame?' Henry#'Just a Man' from the epic musical

It's a shame the bbc merlin fandom is dead because I'm just a man would work so fucking well in one of those tiktok snippets for both Uther and Merlin.
But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster?
When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster?
#merlin#bbc merlin#no but baby druid mordred vs older terrible mordred innocent morgana vs evil witch morgana#merlin when he comes to town vs merlin when he starts fucking up letting the dragon loose betraying morgana hiding everything from arthur#at what point does he reach the point of no return#where the prophecy stops being attainable?#when did it all go wrong when did it become impossible for them to go right

Things I love about EPIC: The Musical
Greek mythology hehehehehhehe (my weakness)
Little Ajax
The slightly different styles in each segment but the overarching cohesiveness
The crew singing choral vocals for Odysseus
POLITES *screaming crying throwing up*
The crew introducing Eurylochus but Odysseus introducing Polites
Odysseus’s ‘Ha ha HA Haaaaa!” What a smug lil $h!*
His whole description of Athena ~ fanboy energy
“Bestest of friends(?)!” “Okay chill kid” ”okay :D”
Polites definitely almost knocking himself out with lotus before Odysseus definitely takes it away like “oh honey no”
POLITES *STILL CRYING AND THROWING UP*
The RUMBBBBLING BOOOOOMS when Polyphemus enters—WOOO YOU CAN FEEL THE FEAR IN HIS FOOTSTEPS (also: heartbeats!)
I’m not a musically intelligent person so forgive me but the way the “take from you like you took from me / gift from you and a gift from me” sounds just makes my brain so happy
If music is math then that is definitely some solid well done math
“Nooooooobody, noooooooooobody, noo~ooOOOOOOOOOOOOH~bodyyyyyy”
“WATCH OUUUUUT!” *AGGRESSIVE CHORUS*
“My brothers-!” yall I’m gonna freakin cry
The visceral death sounds when the club comes out
Polyphemus’s voice slowing like a giant robot powering down to show him falling asleep
The sound slowly fading in as Odysseus takes in the death around him (I imagine he’s looking at the remains of Polites)
The sound Athena makes whenever she appears or disappears (NOTICE SHE DOESNT MAKE THAT SOUND WHEN SHE LEAVES FOR THE LAST TIME! just empty wind…)
“HEY CYCLOPS!”
“The next time that you dare choose not to spare, remember them.” UGH BEAUTIFUL
The growl in “REMEMBER ME.”
Ship sounds!
The entirety of “My Goodbye”. It’s just such a good argument song and I love it so much.
Odysseus’s angry “HEY.” when Athena basically blames the death of his friends on his kindness.
The fact that Odysseus isn’t afraid to absolutely WRECK Athena verbally? She has definitely killed and turned people into spiders for less
You can tell he felt a little bad about it and that she actually was kinda hurt by it too (silence is a heckuva tool)
“Aim for the island in the sky” oh yeah I’m listening to a Greek myth wHEEEZE
Eurylochus slowly getting on Odysseus’s nerves till he literally has to pull him aside and tell him to stfu
No but actually Eurylochus is not being a real one rn he is not being helpful
The wind god ( *0v0*)
“Why are my eyes and my heart and my soul so heavy?” WOW OKAY DANG
Poseidon’s entrance — DANG SON THE POWER OF THE SEA IS PALPABLE
“Ruthlessness is mercy—DIE.”
The crew calling for their captain as they’re taken by the sea
THE AUDACITY OF POSEIDON TO REMIND ODYSSEUS OF HIS OWN WORD—“when does a ripple become a tidal wave/ when does a man become a monster”—DURING THIS CRISIS. WHAT A PETTY JERK (do it again)
Eurylochus try to confess and Odysseus refusing to let him. There three reasons I think this is: 1) he doesn’t know why he wants to confess but he literally does not have time for his #2 to be having a moment rn. 2) he knows what Eurylochus did and is choosing to keep him quiet because he needs the crew not to dwell on this/he’s trying not to punch him in the face. 3) he knows what he did and he’s saying “stfu” as a way of forgiveness. All of these are great options imo
“We couldn’t resist!” “What was it?” “A woman!” “…w h a t. -_-“ my man is fed up rn
“We have to save them!” “NO WE DON’T” EURYLOCHUS WTF IS WRONG W YOU BRO
Hermes’s insane laugh !!!! LOVE
Hermes’s entire song
Rhyming “Be hurt” with “beat her” BRAIN SO HAPPY
Someofthamagic~ BRAIN SO HAPPY AGH
The fight between Odysseus and Circe~ so evenly matched! Wits, power, but she beat him! She beat him even though he didn’t cave.
“I dug the root up w my bare hands!” “Hermes gave it to you didn’t he” “…okay fine yes but rGARDLESS—“
The fact that Odysseus calls Penelope his power
Circe’s empathetic sigh because she’s not a monster, she’s a protector, and her heart has been touched by Odysseus’s earnestness and love for his wife and for his brothers
HER OUTRO WAHHHHHHH

EMPIRE OF BLOOD
SYNOPSIS: after saving your life from death's clutches, your savior, the knave and fourth of the fatui harbingers, brings you back to fontaine with her. not quite realizing she brought back a monster, she raises you to stand beside her destined heir, lyney. nothing goes according to plan when years later, a traveler shows up, and suddenly everything you've worked so hard to build comes crumbling down within the span of a few weeks. and now arlecchino doesn't just have a phantom child to worry about, but a rebellious one with a swan song who plans on destroying all her plan b's.
PAIRING: lyney x fem!reader (can be read as gn)
CWS: foul language, violence, mild blood and injury, slight gore, mentions of trauma, angst, mentions of alcohol and drug use, mc sorta has a screw loose..
NOTES: this has been in my drafts for months— LITERAL MONTHS, but yona rigged the poll i posted (/j) so i'm posting it way earlier than intended. i do have a decent amount of chapters written, but i was hoping to have at least half of the fic written before i posted it. there will be slow updates! i’m a college student after all T-T
although this is a fem reader series, it can, in all honesty, be read as gn. the mc is described as having more feminine features, and use of ‘she’ pronouns r scattered around here and there. but ultimately, it can be read as gn!

Epic: The Musical
Lines I think would suit the crew or they would say or have said to them. This one was interesting because Usopp is so Odysseus and Nami fits Aeolus really well and ROBIN! Robin is Circe.
Luffy: When does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a monster? When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster? Or, This life is amazing when you greet it with open arms.
Zoro: Find that inner strength now, use that well of pride. Fight through every pain now, ask yourself inside, what do you live for? What do you try for? What do you wish for? What do you fight for?
Nami: She’s a clever witch and she’s hard to slay, it’s a game of wits, but you don’t have to play.
Usopp: Please don’t tell me you’re about to do what I think you’ll do.
Sanji: Maybe showing one act of kindness, leads to kinder souls down the road.
Chopper: Mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to use.
Robin: I have people to protect, friends I won’t neglect, so I’m not taking chances, dear.
Franky: So much has changed but I’m the same, yes I’m the same!
Brook: Don’t thank me friend, you very well may die. Haha, good luck.
Garp: The blood on your hands is something you won’t lose, all you can choose is whose.
Ace: Don’t you know that pain you sew is pain you reap?
Sabo: When the fire begins to fade, for the fallen and afraid, we are not to let them die in vain.
Vivi: How has everything been turned against us? How did suffering become so endless? How am I to reunite with my estranged? Do I need to change?
Koby: The line between naivety and hopefulness is almost invisible.
Shanks: In all my years of living, it isn’t very often that I get ticked off, I tried to chill with the waves, but man you’ve crossed the line.
Buggy: I see a song of past romance, I see the sacrifice of man, I see portrayals of betrayals and a brother’s final stand.
#one piece#sanji#straw hat pirates#black leg sanji#opla#usopp#roronoa zoro#nami#luffy#usopp one piece#one piece usopp#robin#one piece robin#one piece brook#one piece zoro#one piece luffy#one piece sabo#asl trio#asl brothers#fire fist ace#portgas d ace#red haired shanks#buggy the clown#buggy one piece#captain buggy#vivi nefertari#princess vivi#one piece franky#franky#tony tony chopper
