#Constantine: NO NOT YOURS NOW WTF

[noxcheshire]

Clockwork spinning it around as another bit of volunteer work for Dan to get through so he can be released from Jail Time.

Poor Danny just curled up in his little cape, hoping that this couldn’t get any worse as all the heroes frantically crowd him and then oops —

Here comes Dan the Destroyer of Worlds.

Dan on the hand, is just disgruntled at having to go save his toddler past-self who he KNOWS instinctually was playing games, or he was until he spotted toddler him shaking like a kitten and those big green eyes grown in fear it was not fear, Danny was just upset Dan had been brought in to pick him up.

Curse his ghostly instincts, Dan reacts like an enraged parent, loosing his more human form into something far more eldritch and dangerous.

Poor Danny now has to do damage control.

He is yelling at Dan who is throwing and catching the heroes like a dog who has caught a tiny terrified mouse without a single hesitation of playing with the tiny creature that might die from the constant throwing and shaking.

Danny shrieks at the man to not hurt them, Da —

Danny is snatched up fast and swift before he can even finish his sentence, squeaking as he’s curled up inside Dan’s limb.

He can feel himself being brought close to the man’s core.

The man snarls, ghost speak echoing like an explosion, of burning metal, of screaming men.

He returns the sound with his own, a child’s dying scream, electricity crackling in between, haunting howls and burning flesh.

Dan grunts, like he had been hit unexpectedly.

The man then coos, dangerous and cruel.

Danny can hear him clearly, speaking through a mangle of human speech and ghost.

“Oh? The little humans have bite?”

A DC X DP IDEA #7 The Summons

Imagine dis…

It is always Danny being summoned by cultists, John Constantine, enemies…etc to the mortal plane that starts a beautiful meeting and adventure between the two fandoms. But what if Danny pulled an uno reverse this time, and shenanigans and misunderstandings ensue?

Danny is getting tired of all types of summoning around the Infinite realms, being King and immortal quickly gets boring after a few couple centuries. As well as the fact he is getting annoyed at the summoning that he kept getting himself into. The monologue is getting less creative and less creative by the day, he was sure that all villain monologues are either copyrighted or even ripped off from the same book and source, as they are either A. offering their world for his liking B. making him do something, or even C. kill a certain someone, and you wouldn’t believe the number of times he was summoned for the sole purpose of killing either Batman or Superman from the dubbed both liked and least liked dimension for Danny. Liked as they have real live aliens in that dimension as well so far begun the exciting one in this dimension, Least because the majority of the uncomfortable summoning’s are from that dimension and the majority of the so-called heroes are either messing up the timeline which comes to the headache of both Danny and Clockwork as well kept jumping through the dimensions of their universe.

Today he sat on his throne with all of his eldritch glory when he felt that feeling of being summoned, now when being summoned is like a very annoying ring that you have on this phone on volume that kept on ringing until you answer it. Sighing at his current life, the number of times he summoned in that dimension to the point he can already feel and identify the same ringtone for that dimension. In a spur of a moment as well an ungodly amount of pettiness at that moment for all the times he has summoned as well the headache he and his mentor received he pulled an uno reverse on the heroes and prepared himself to get back at them.

…

Superman, Constantine, Batman, Red Hood, Nightwing, Red Robin, and Robin interfered with yet another cult dedicated to freeing the tyrant Pariah Dark. From what little information they have gathered through the relics and scrolls, Constantine stated that this Pariah Dark will make most of their world-ending fights look like a kid’s squabble due to the vast powers of the Pariah Dark stating that if he wishes though he can destroy this universe in a flick of his hand.

This cult, however, is on a large scale seeing that they were led in a wild goose chase while the other members prepare the runes, sigils, and sacrifices for the necessary ritual.

They managed to stop the cultists from killing their supposed sacrifices when the runes suddenly glowed green, blinding them completely.

The moment they gained consciousness they immediately knew that there is something wrong.

Looking around they noticed that they have been teleported to some sort of forest but looking up to determine the time of the day made them pause.

The sky is painted with endless toxic Lazarus green, and all of the heroes are now on high alert as they assess the situation. They either dimensioned hopped again or they have been dragged by the cultists and transported to wherever this Tyrant ruler is.

Constantine kept reassuring himself that it would be the former but the amount of death magic that flows through the air like oxygen made him think the worse.

Superman tried to fly upwards to have a better view around them but found out that he couldn’t use any of his powers.

As they were navigating this new and dangerous territory Batman kept grilling Constantine for information as every bit of information is now precious as they need to find their way home. Despite Batman drilling for any information that he knew, he knew nothing more other than the following facts.

Pariah Dark is a tyrant that ruled the Infinite realms. Using both fear and his unlimited power to control and dictate the Infinite Realms.

The Infinite Realms have also known as the Ghost zone, in all of the limitless universes and other histories. The Ghost Zone occurs at every feasible and non-feasible moment in time, which means that no matter where or when you are in the Ghost Zone, you are everywhere and every when because it all exists at the same time.

Without the Infinite Realms then there would be the end of their world and reality as they know it.

The residents here are told to be the most powerful ghosts in existence as Deadman could not even measure up to their strengths.

Suddenly the group heard a loud commotion and quickly hid by climbing up the trees for a better view.

There they see a group of large flaming black armored people that covered their entire body and face except for their glowing green eyes. Two of them caught their attention, the larger one has a purple flame surrounding his helmet, carrying a flaming sword as he rides a menacing black horse that has bat-like wings while the other one has a blue flame on top of his head pointing an electrified sword towards the cultists that were teleported differently from them.

From where they at, they were able to hear about the black armored knights that mortals are trespassing around the Infinite Realms. All of the cultists are now screaming and trying to fight off the knights that tried to restrain them, in the end, they were dragged and caged in a metal cage that is connected to a chariot of the skeleton of horses.

They were brought out of their stupor when they heard the continued screaming and begging’s of the cultist in a distant direction and when they heard a child’s giggle below them.

Looking down below them they saw a small child. The child could not be more than 6 with gravity-defying white hair, Lazarus green eyes wearing a simple white cuffed sleeve with brown pants and black shoes.

He pointed at them for being a mortal and looked at them with awe and proceeded to exaggerate the fact that mortals are in the Infinite Realms.

Nightwing being the friendliest face alongside Superman asked who and where they were. The child proceeded to introduce himself as Danny and tell them that they are in the Infinite Realms and that they are trespassing in the land of the dead, being without the High King’s order.

Danny kept gushing at the fact they are living heroes, as well as proceeded to act like a naïve child that will spill information with a few sweet words.

The kid kept asking Nightwing what it’s like to be alive and to eat food that doesn’t attack you.

Of course, that made the heroes grimace seeing that they were reminded that they were in fact in the land of the dead.

Danny next floated towards Superman and excitedly asked about his culture and language as a Kryptonian alien race.

As the ghost child kept asking Superman some questions nobody saw Constantine pale at the moment, they saw the child. As a dark magical user, he can sense the amount of death magic towards a thing or someone. The moment the child appeared in front of them the man Constantine tried to calm his nerves down seeing the abundant concentrated death magic that clings to the child like some parasite.

Batman tried to ask more relevant questions but Danny flew towards Red Hood and Robin exclaiming that they need a doctor, putting on a frown on his face. Batman’s questions kept growing when they heard a siren that seems to echo throughout the realms and the only thing the kid, Danny, said Oh no.

Looking in the direction where Danny looked, they saw a large army of flaming flying horses with black armored knights each of which look like a black sword as the largest one that they have seen before leads them towards their direction the moment they locked eyes on them.

Without thinking of the consequence Red Hood picked up the dead child and proceeded to retreat alongside the rest of the Bat clan, Superman and Constantine.

…

Danny was enjoying this, the soul-whore man was just a bonus. The fact that he owns this poor man’s soul just out of pettiness for tripling the amount of his paperwork for selling his soul to different deities. Once he dies, he is going to embarrass this man to the point he wished he was in hell.

His plan was simple, make them scared at the act of the High King being mad at them. Make them see the horrors of the Infinite Realms and send them home, simple right?

He was about to give them one last scare when he heard an alarm that blared throughout the realms. He just knew that Fright Knight had just pulled the alarm. For the spirit of Halloween, he is serious and zealous about his job. The fact he had forgotten to write a note might be on him.

He was just about to turn around when Red Hood picked him up and carried him like a sack of potatoes. Now in any political sense Red Hood is committing treason, he kept trying to wiggle out of the man’s arms, unable to phase out due to the man’s nature as one of his subjects.

He may be petty but he didn’t mean on making them commit treason, he can do that on his own to piss off the Observants, thank you very much.

Now Danny is panicking about how this prank had railed off course due to his luck.

…

The team of super mortals is now running away from the army approaching them. Using the forest where they have landed to conceal themselves as they think of a way to escape the army of the dead.

Suddenly a green swirling portal opened in front of them, they were about to change direction but Constantine exclaimed loudly that, that portal is the same one that brought them here. So, by that logic that portal will lead them back to their universe.

When they returned to the dark warehouse before they were transported only then they noticed the extra baggage that Red Hood may have brought with him. In fear, Constantine asked why would he bring a ghost child who has extremely protective ghost parents that will hunt them down the moment they realize that he is gone.

Jason argued that ever since Danny appeared the pits quieted down to the moment the ghost child appeared as if he was never been dunked on the Lazarus pits.

As they were arguing Red Robin noticed Danny that he looked worried and kept looking around as if to look for another portal.

…

Newsflash, he was looking for a way to escape the heroes undetected to create his portal.

…

Red Robin was about to ask what was bothering him when all of the heroes present suddenly saw a green outline of a crown and a cape coming from Danny.

Danny asked nervously why were they looking at him funny.

Constantine dropped his cigarette and paled several shades whiter in fear, to the point he was paper.

Batman is now on the verge of a breakdown as well. In a span of a few minutes, they traveled to the land of the dead and saw some ghostly knights and children, and Jason adopting strays in his way. Apparently in the argument the two have and the action, Jason had done in a matter of minutes, his son Jason decided to adopt a ghost child which in return Constantine replied that it is not possible seeing that ghost children in general have protective parents that may hunt us down now that ghost child has a highlight and outline of a crown and cape.

Seeing his look and reaction of Constantine when looked at Danny due to the green highlight outline, Batman demands Constantine’s answers as to why and what could be worse news other than Danny’s ghostly parents hunting them down for unintentionally kidnapping their child.

Constantine replied in a small and shaky voice that they didn’t just kidnap an ordinary ghost child, they kidnapped the Crowned Prince of the Infinite Realms.

…

Danny was sure that the cat is out of the bag, but when the sad trench coat man whispered Crowned Prince instead of High King. He can turn this whole situation turn around in his favor, now if only the spandex-wearing men stop harassing him on his so-called “Father-King.”

DCxDP - Death and Taxes

Broke college student but also the Ghost King Danny looking at the stack of complaint forms in his inbox about people cheating death. In a stroke of sleep deprived inspiration, he issues a royal decree that anyone who has properly died before (I.e biologically dead, not just clinically dead) is still a citizen of the Infinite Realms, even if they were resurrected. And have to pay income tax to the Crown.

He establishes the Infinite Realms Revenue Service, recruits the ghosts of some meticulous accountants and sends them after all the assholes who think they can escape Death and Taxes. Starting with the worst offenders (ie those who have escaped death the longest/most often). Your tax bracket scales with how many times you died.

Just picture Ra's al-Ghul, in the middle of giving some speech to his assassin cult when this Phil Coulson looking ghost dude shows up behind him to "discuss the back taxes he owes to the Crown".

Every magic user worth their salt is suddenly swamped with messages from panicked villains and heroes who are trying to figure out wtf is going on and how to get out of this. Constantine is sweating bullets.

Danny hires Valerie to do mortal side "casework", because a, she's just as saddled with student debt as he is b, has worked fast food and knows how to handle asshole customers c, doesn't take shit from anybody.

Imagine Vandal Savage, Felix Faust and Red Hood awkwardly sitting in a waiting room with a stack of documents each, ready for their number to be called so they can dispute their claims. Being called in and utterly flummoxed at the unflappable, bored young woman at the desk who somehow has files on everything about you - birth record, death record(s), who you killed and when records... now declare your income as a crime lord/dictator/sorcerer, sir.

Meanwhile Danny is planning on how he can allocate the taxes to open a soup kitchen for Lunch Lady to work at and similar shit. He is determined to be a good king, dammit!

We Became Heroes Because You Didn't

The Justice League don't specialize in much. If you ask them, they'd say otherwise. Unless they're one of the Bats, because they acknowledge that, especially with magic. They hate it, but they have connections and will at least ask for more details to deal with the situation at hand. Though they'll need proof.

That's the thing really. Proof. Because how are you going to get proof of something if everything gets repaired by the end? Or maybe you're the villain here according to the public. Or maybe everything you say is just plain crazy that nobody even knows what's going on from the start!

It was only when another group was formed when everything became clear. They were frowned upon, unknown, spoke nonsense, and never asked for help. They were the survivors that played hero. They were the shadowed version of the Justice League.

They were Justice League: Dark

A fanfic (or multiple small ones grouped together?) that isn't really about them joining forces, but more about the discovery of more dangerous territory that's being handled by kids/teens. Lift some weight for these kids. They really want a safe net by now in their hero careers.

Like- maybe a few of these wouldn't be the JL's fault. Maybe it was the government (at least for the US). Like Danny Phantom and Gravity Falls mentions the government, maybe they blocked off those regions from outside connections.

I feel like it would be funny if maybe Constantine just ends up collecting kids like Batman with his.

They're just kids! Itty bitty toddlers. It's supposed to be our job to take care o' that shit, ain't it?

And JLD now has a bunch of young professionals cause what the fuck, kid. Why do you know this??? Ya know? Maybe the JL just randomly finds these things, calls Constantine after Zatanna fails to know wtf is going on, and he just calls over a kid. Or a group of them.

JL: We need a professional, why is there a child here?

Constantine: Cause even when you fuckers ignored their calls for help, they still at least try to help where they can

JL: We never-

Constantine: Shut your traps! School's in session

*Child tries to explain*

JL: You have to be kidding me. ___ doesn't exist.

Constantine: Oh bloody hell-

Child: And they wonder why they get more attention than us.

idk, I just like the idea of Constantine being a father for OP characters and desperately want a Young Justice League: Dark. I read a couple of Danny and/or Billy being adopted by him, but the cravings... And if it's a whole big crossover thing, that would be great. Tag me if you see or write about something like this. I wanna read too :)

Don't put too much hope in me writing it though, I'm seriously bad at continuing/finishing stuff. But if I do, I'll edit this post with links to whatever I write.

[randomfandomisuppose]

Wanted to explore some interactions in my Custody battle for the ages au a bit more:

#

Danny: Was that one of your dads?

Constantine: For the last time, they are not my parents

One of Constantine’s dads: Hark! This is contrary, but i hath bought thy soul bef're the new legislation. I’m s'rry f'r being such a rotten fath'r figure in the past, i shalt doth mine own utmost to guideth thee through the realms.

Danny: You were saying?

Constantine’s dad 1: Oh joyous nonce, what a fine young sir you’ve did turn out to beest!

Constantine: Did you just call me a fucking nonce?

(apparently according to the English to Shakespearean translator nonce used to mean occasion, which is fucking hilarious. Safe to say this dad in particular did NOT win any favours with Constantine.)

#

Danny: (Invisibly following one of the batkids around.)

Constantine: (Knows he’s there) Now that is just asking to be shanked.

Hal Jordan who was just passing by and saw Constantine talking to empty air: WTF

Said Batkid: I could have sworn it just got colder in here…

#

Pandora: (voice booming) WHO DARE SUMMON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PRIME MINISTERLY DUTIES?

Danny: Hey mom! :D

Pandora, immediately calmer: Oh hello Danny! Is your brother around?

Wonder Woman: (Internally freaking out at the literal seven foot tall GOD casually standing in front of her.)

Barry Allen: (Looking up at the freaking SEVEN FOOT TALL lady): That’s your MOM?!?

#

One of Constantine’s moms: You cannot tell me that you truly believe this is the best way to raise him

Skulker, surprise dad: The best way to raise him is to show him the ways of the hunt! He must rise to the occasion! He must prove himself in battle!

Random ghost mom: There is absolutely nothing wrong with a simple duel but you cannot hunt his own brother with him! Besides, he is still mostly of the mortal plane!

Skulker: You dare question my authority as his FATHER?

Random ghost mom: You dare ignore MY judgement on what is best for OUR child?

(Fighting ensues)

Danny: John. John my dude. My favourite baby brother. You’ve got a problem. Stop selling your soul, I can’t deal with any more bitter co-parents

#

(Based on me and my little sister)

Constantine: (Unconsciously pats Danny’s head as he passes him on the couch)

Danny: :O

Constantine: (Having just realised what he’s done) Ohhhh no. No.

Danny, tearfully: Awwww you do love me baby bro

Constantine, already walking away: Still not your brother

Danny: Sure, sure, whatever you say :)

[jey-chan]

Danny, showing up mild meting like he owns the place bc is in space: So i lost a bet with CW and here i am... you! *points to Flash* have lost your time travel privilegies for 3 i told you so, and YOU! *points a constantine* are going to dismand the Anti-ecto laws and in etchange i give you your soul back but with the punishment of doing all the papework that need to be done becuase of fukin soul tax fraud.

And you! *points to the big 3* are going to firm herr, here, and here.

Flas: wtf‽

Constantine: the anti what now‽

Ww: whai does this lokes like international and interdimencional guardenship papers?

Danny: you have seen noting~ :")

DPxDC Dog Prompts

Here’s my collection of DPxDC prompts I’ve made, collected together! 

Most of them lean towards Gotham/Batpham content, since that is where my own interests with the crossover are most prominent.

A lot of these prompts have had continuations and fics added in the notes! If you like one, I’d recommend checking to see if anyone’s done more with it.

I might reorganize these some other time, perhaps by length/type of prompt, etc, but for now it’s just roughly in order of when they were posted.

If any links are broken, tell me and I’ll see about finding the link!

#thirsty again..PLEASE I need constantine and a feisty, tinkerbell like reader xo

girl. literally spent 25 minutes on google trying to understand wtf does feisty mean i still got no clue. hope i didn’t fuck this up please.

honestly it amazed him how small you were, especially compared to him, but still had the audacity to fuss over things more than he ever could.

he made the mistake of taking you to midnite’s bar with him for his meeting with the owner, and now he was suffering the consequences.

they weren’t even ten minutes into the conversation when the sound of bickering noises caught their attention. he wasn’t sure why was he even surprised when he saw the scene: you threatening a literal demon, who stood at least a feet taller than you, with your finger accusingly pointing at its direction, yelling like there is no tomorrow.

poor dude literally had to grab you from where you were standing before the creature hurt you in any way and he had to intervene to make a far worse mess.

his fingers were digging into the soft flesh of your forearm, guiding back to his car, your legs struggling to keep up with his long strides. you snatched your arm from his grasp with a dramatic scoff, moving to stand next to him and mimicking his body which was leaning back to door of the vehicle.

he lit up a cigarette, hoping to calm his nerves down before your voice broke the silence.

“i was doing fine. you didn’t have to ruin it,” annoyance dripping from your tone.

he didn’t even reply, blowing smoke from his lips, his eyes focused on nothing in particular. he would hope you would lose interest at his ignorance. but well, it never stopped you before.

“i could take him out. her. it. whatever,” you waved your hand in the air, crossing your arms in front of your chest, like a spoiled kid who got interrupted playing her favorite game.

“sure you could,” his tone flat, which earned a jab to his chest before he pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes for a second, tossing the cigarette on the ground. “goddamn child,” you heard him mutter under his breath, his body circling the car to the drivers side. “get in the car,” he half yelled, not wishing to hear anything further.

of course you complied, but not before slamming the door with a force which shook the entire vehicle.

[kaledya]

Hello !

Oh damn, thank you for the explanation. Of course you explain it properly and in such details ! And it make sense Lucifer's pride is taking a big place because he is the embodiment of Pride, in a way. Even with his daughter its something hard to put away. I have a good foundation for the fundamental of their fight now great !

_

Extra answers :

Oh yes ! I figured that Alastor won't be like this with Constantine at all ! Except if he want to be burn alive. Especially that Constantine could actually just use his royal authority on him and Alastor would be kneeling very fast !

I like the Last Of Us 2 ref. I just like that we are talking in ref ahah. I understand that it would be a long road of forgiveness between them.

Ps : in a way, In that pride "manner of doing things" i think Lucifer look like Constantine in that. The proud royals who wouldn't take shit from anyone because they are THEM and the others are nothing. Even if it would actually benefit them to be more kind. But its Hell so, no ahah.

But thanks to showing me your vision of how things happen in your SS AU like that I can create something between your mind and mine.

_

Yes ! Don't want to spoil but its a huge thing. Constantine and Lolicia. (If my OC wouldn't be here i think i like RoyalFlush a lot, I mean who doesn't like a good Johnlock kind of romance) but let's say I like some sensuality too. (Probably this is why I'm the only one who likes Sherlock and Irene)

I mean do you imagine Constantine and Lolicia first meeting like Sherlock and Irene ? Lolicia (naked) Constantine (confused in a priest costume)

"- Our third guest is in the living room on the left, explains Charlie to her brother, you will not miss it, it has a ocean theme.   - Right... murmur Constantine.

*Constantine walks to the blue living room, watch around and see nobody.*

  - Charlie ? I don't see anyone !

*He sighed and sit on the sofa wondering why he actually left his Palace. That was a mistake. And then he heard footsteps approches.*

- Hello, say a velvety voice, apologies for being late. I was away for a long time, forgive me, what is your royal name ?

- I'd figured everybody would know my name but exceptions are part of the statistics. You can call me, like everybody else, C-...

*Constantine turns his head and see Lolicia stopping at the doorway. His voice fails him when he realizes that none of the hair or the tail or the light he quickly sees were covering the naked body. His jaw drops a little.*

- Oh, it's always hard to remember simple thing when you've had a shock.

*They enters the room stands directly in front of him, then Lolicia reaches out and removes the white priest collar from his shirt.*

- There you go now, they giggle softly, we are both defrocked... Crown Prince Constantine.

*Constantine look up to their eyes, in a normal state of mind again.*

- The Anglerfox, I presume. - Look at those cheekbones. I could cut myself slapping that face. Would you like me to try?

Lolicia smile and put the priest collar between her teeth. Constantine think WTF?!"

I mean yes, It would be funny because Lolicia would be a mess. She has a different way to see emotions too. And Constantine is.. . Well Constantine. Ahah. It was fun.

_

Yes, I agree, getting rid of Val, is a big thing.

Thank you for the storyboard info !

I'm so excited to write all this !

I like Husk and Lolicia too. It was cute the dance and natural to write.

Thank for liking the new outfit! Ah yes Baldur's Gate 3, what a beautiful game, *wipes my tear with Astarion* oh ! Is the moment when Gale says he is horny when we fight with so much energy ??

Yes! And I'm so glad I could help!

-

And again, I'm very happy to hear that you liked the concepts I mentioned. And I completely agree with your ideas

I can't wait to see the story in your mind!

-

OMG! I really can't wait to see it. I really like your writing and I'm very curious how you will handle such a romance!I'm sure you will write wonderfully.

And I'm glad you liked dynamic between Serenity and Constantine too!

And since I've never written anything romance-related for Constantine before, I seriously can't wait to see his dynamic with Lolicia! Sounds like they could have a seriously interesting relationship!

And if you ask my opinion, Irene and Sherlock are a very interesting duo too. After all, Irene Adler was the only woman who takes a place in Sherlock's mind, both in the books and in the TV series and movies.

The Women The only woman who can find a place in Sherlock's full and complex mind. The Women who can beat him time to times with her games

And I loved their interactions in the series, especially in the scene where Irene is in her last moments, she sends a message to Sherlock for the last time, but it was perfect that Sherlock comes and saves her at that moment.

And I really love Irene's attitude as a smart planner and a woman who stands on her own feet, and it is always a pleasure to watch/read the cat and mouse games she plays with Sherlock.

And LMAO yes I can imagine it and I really enjoyed reading the little script you wrote I should draw it sometime.

And Constantine was like:

He gives Lolicia a small glance, "I think my sister was very successful in getting the residents used to the hotel."

"You look very comfortable."

-

And I am very glad that you liked the storyboard. I am happy that I could help you and I wish you good writing in advance.

-And yes, BaldursGate3 is a seriously great game, I proudly spent 200 hours on it. And LMAO!

I think this is you, but the one in your hand is not the hamster, but the bat-shaped Astorion.

No, but that scene was very funny too!

As far as I remember, I think the name Harlep ı dont remember. When we kill him in House of Hope we get that armor. And after wearing that and talk to Gale he will make a comment about our New ✨ armor✨

-----

And now I read all the chapters you posted and they were all great.It was very sweet how Charlie got angry when the hotel guests came up with the topic of helping the hotel financially and O Love how Vaggie talk to her and relaxing her you write them so sweet ❤️❤️. in general I really love how you wrote the team's interactions.

And my god, seriously, Lolicia's duet with Alastor was great, the song and the dialogues of the characters. Your descriptions were perfect.I wish your songs were performed, I would really like to listen to them!

And I really love that the sentences or slang in Alastor's way of speaking belong to the 1920s.Very good for the character And very interesting to see the dynamics of Lolicia and Alastor.And I wonder how the offer of Alliance

will turn out Lolicia's death/dream scene was beautiful, I loved the descriptions and I'm so glad we got some ideas about Lolicia's human appearance! And I can't wait to see how the sentences you use in the descriptions will be detailed in the future.But I need to be patient to read Lolicia's past... 😔

And the popcorn ep where you explained the meaning of the song you wrote was also great. I think you are a really smart writer, all the details you put were great.It's incredible how carefully you calculate and think all these detail you are really good writer 🛐🛐

It was a lot of fun to read that the call that Charlie did to join in the competition. The competition worker's reaction when he found out that Charlie was a princess was also really funny. And I loved the dialogues there, Charlie trying to convince the team members!

Finally, I loved the way you introduced Constantine. The magic scene in the workshop was really beautiful 🤌🤌like perfect in every way it was so Cool too!🛐

and the sources you were inspired by while writing the scene were great. I didn't expect to see Elden ring from there That game has some seriously great art and magic design.And seriously, Constantine's reaction to the photo Charlie took in the previous episode. It was a nice detail!

Thanks again for loving him!

I am looking forward to the chapters you will write in the future!❤️❤️

supernatural s14e1 stranger in a strange land (w. andrew dabb)

pre-ep recap being ac/dc shot down in flames much better fit than metallica's nothing else matters from 13x01 vibe-wise and matching the pace of the clips. good job, guys. and smooth segue to it being on in the car

s14e1 / the matrix

wtf jackles, what is this speaking voice/cadence. reminds me of keanu reeves?? usually when i make really out there sound associations, i'm a little high. but that is not the case today. he's acting more like an agent than neo, but getting the keanu vibes :p i can't think of what movie specifically i'm thinking of. the devil's advocate and constantine are the other two keanu movies i've seen a bunch, but i dunno

never good when i'm pulling a clip in the first few minutes 🥴 gonna be a 2-3 day watch i'm guessing.

also don't really understand the styling choices. i get that it helps make a big visual difference between michael and dean, but like. dude wasn't dressing like this old timey fancy man with a flat cap in the au world. is this 20s-ish? never seen peaky blinders but this seems kinda similar? reading about collar pins and bars now. lol

is this the grief beard i've heard about. well maintained, if so

MARY Sam, we’re gonna find him. Ketch is working that thing in London. Castiel is in Detroit. I know it’s been three weeks since Dean… Something will break. It has to. SAM Yeah. Yeah, you keep saying that.

so like why does sam need to be in charge and involved in this vampire thing with this bunker full of people? they were fully self organized and fighting before they came here. even if sam is de facto leader for whatever reason; delegate, my guy. no help to anyone if you're not sleeping. call jody in, i bet she could talk some sense into him. also vaguely funny that we're all Team Family Go! but the family i connect with the most for them is jody and her girls

CASTIEL Does any demon know where Dean Winchester is? KIPLING I’m sorry, did you just say you lost a Winchester? Because, one -- that’s�� interesting. And, two, how is that you lost Dean? I thought the two of you were joined at the… [Kipling glances down in a suggestive way.] …you know, everything.

in a way i wish i could have watched this without any knowledge of fandom because my knee jerk response is, ew. because i just don't see anything between dean and cas, i have a hard time grasping they're even close, i've just tried to accept it because the show tells us all the time. but maybe i could have come around to it more if i didn't know about the screaming zeitgeist that is destiel. or maybe i'd have the same reaction, i don't know. but anyway perpetually disgruntled knowing that my reaction is always colored somewhat due to fandom. i try to watch objectively but i know my feelings on things outside the show color my feelings of stuff inside the show

oh, cas. what have you gotten yourself into this time.

mmmk

SISTER JO Why would he say “yes” to you? MICHAEL Love.

short and sweet

man i know jackles is trying to do something different but i do not enjoy the way he's speaking as michael. ok now i'm getting umm. brad pitt in interview with the vampire?? like when he's talking to what's his face. for the interview. lol. christian slater! kind of slow, flat fairly emotionless narration.

um. how in the world is nick's soul in his vessel? didn't crowley remake it or whatever? or did he not die at any point in the ... 7 years intervening between lucifer dumping him in s5 and getting popped back in during s12

from 12x13 CROWLEY I managed to pervert that spell. So your essence wasn't sent back to the cage, but instead, we found your discarded vessel a few years ago… repaired it, improved it, making it a fitting final home for the real you.

whatever, man. nothing makes sense to me anymore. also thinking about jimmy novak called being possessed by castiel like "being chained to a comet" - for all those years

NICK Ow. I don't get it. I don't understand how Lucifer could die and I could live. SAM Yeah, um… I think that maybe it's because the archangel blades were made to kill the archangel inside a-and not the person they, uh -- NICK Possesses and uses to almost end the world twice?

sure. SURE. that makes sense. not at all how anything else ever works on this show, but sure! i mean, i love mark pellegrino too but come on, guys.

SAM Stop saying that, please. MARY What? SAM “It's gonna be fine,” that everything's gonna be fine, we're gonna find Dean, and -- MARY We are. SAM You don't know that. Dean's gone, and we have no idea where he is or -- or if he's even still alive. You know, Michael could have… burned him out or… worse, and… MARY I know. I know he's out there, scared and alone. I know. I know he might never come back. Never think I don't know that. But -- I can't -- I have to think about the good, Sam, because, if I don't, I will drown in the bad. For Dean's sake, I can't do that. We can't do that.

that's fine and reasonable but it's also reasonable that sam doesn't want to hear a baseless placation.

jack getting a grandpa bobby now too apparently

completely zoning out on this demon monologuing. why did they bring the girl along who isn't a hunter. what happened to the devil's trap bullets? and couldn't they make the bullets made out of the angel blades they had on the au world? because with all the dead angels they surely must have a stockpile. wouldn't get this several minute action sequence with fake tension though so

SAM Enough! There will be no new King of Hell. Not today. Not ever. And if anybody wants the job, you can come through me. Understood? (breathing heavily) So, what's it gonna be?

lol okay

SAM It's the -- It's the magic egg that kicked Lucifer out of the President. I thought we could use it on Michael, but -- Ketch can't find it. So, that's another dead end, which is just awesome.

i'm glad the show remembered because i completely forgot about that thing. thanks for preemptively ruling it out

CASTIEL Sam, are you all right? SAM Yeah, I've been better. I've been worse. You? CASTIEL I'm -- I'm just sorry. I should never have gone to those demons. SAM Cass, I -- No, I-I-I don't blame you. I… Honestly, I-I wish I'd have thought of it first. If it meant finding Dean, I-I'd work with -- I'd do anything.

❤️ take what i can get. (still need to sleep, sammy)

MICHAEL Now, you -- you know exactly what you want. You don't pretend to want to help people or save the world. Your want is pure and simple and clean. And that's why you are worth saving. That's why we are going to work so well together. Because you -- you just want to eat.

LOL what. michael loves vampires!

!! omg lol i just reread my 13x23 with my whole "can't kill michael now that he's wearing dean" is that the whole reason we get pellegrino back as nick, so we can find out that archangel blades don't kill the vessel?? 😂

DnD Hell hounds are monstrous fire breathing fiends that take on the form of powerful dogs. They can be found throughout the lower plains, where they serve evil creatures as companions and guard dogs. They are smarter than most beasts and their lawful nature makes them good at following orders. Unfortunately their malevolent hunger makes them difficult to train for anything other than killing. If it’s not allowed to indulge in the hunger it will turn on its master. Hell hounds that are on the loose will hunt in packs and they’ll feed on any creatures that even appear edible.it won't hesitate to hunt and kill larger and more dangerous enemies. They will pursue their prey to the bitter end. They have the ability to breathe fire which comes from this eternal flame that is consistently stoke from the flesh that they eat and have the ability to shapeshift to any breed of dog to blend into the human world undetected.

I have a fun idea! Imagine if John Constantine and Toddler Raven recently returned from Japan. During their trip, Toddler Raven discovered her love for Japanese Shiba Inu Dogs. She was sad to leave them behind and return home, especially since she couldn't play with the kind old lady dog that John left her with while he was saving the day. Toddler Raven had been pleading with her adopted father, John Constantine, for months to get her a Shiba Inu. However, John had always refused her request. Despite this, Raven persisted in her appeals. Nevertheless, everyone has their limits.

John Constantine learned that “Hell Hounds” were on the loose. In the abandoned graveyard. Toddler Raven escaped from the House of Mystery and followed the British Warlock.

Toddler Raven: “Daddy why are we here?”

Dad Constantine: “Daddy is here to-WTF!!! Rachel, why are you here!?”

Toddler Raven: *🤩* “LOOK LOOK!!!” *shows a poorly drawing of herself hugging a Poorly drawn Shiba Inu* “See daddy! Look how happy I’ll be with my own Shiba Inu!!!!”

Dad Constantine: “Racheal not now. Open a portal and go home. We'll talk about this later.”

Toddler Raven: “No.”

Dad Constantine: “I beg your pardon?”

Toddler Raven: “NO I WANT! A SHIBA INU NOW!!!”

A toddler was throwing a tantrum and Constantine attempted to quiet her down. Unfortunately, it was too late as three HellHounds heard Raven's cries and were ready to hunt and kill. However, when the HellHounds got closer, Raven lost control and transformed into a demon, unleashing a powerful wave of dark magic that scared the HellHounds. The HellHounds, instinctively sensing danger, listened to Raven and transformed into Shiba Inu dogs to soothe her. This tactic worked and Raven calmed down, happy to see the three dogs.

Raven is the proud owner of three Demonic Shiba Inu dogs. It's adorable how she never outgrew her love for Shiba Inus! She has Shiba Inu-themed stationery items, a backpack, fashionable clothing, plushies, a blanket, and everything else.

Who is your fav superhero?

God, this is a HARD question. Cause like, super hero writers love to all write their hero in very different ways. I love Batman, but there are some grossly toxic versions out there that I do not agree with.

I think my favs in DC would be Batman and Robin -- any of the Robins, tbh. I prefer Dick Grayson as Robin, Jason Todd as Red Hood, Tim Drake as anything that isn't Drake bc wtf was that, and I appreciate Damian as Robin more now that he's grown as a character. I especially love the plots that have the Robins interacting and I think we often see the best characterization there.

Highly recommend the story "Robins (2022)" -- an adventure with all five of them (Steph too! I just haven't read as much about her, so she didn't make the list).

In Marvel, my fav is easily Spider-Man. I'm such a stan for Spider-Man and Black Cat. I love them dearly. I'm also a stan for Spider-Man and Deadpool. I also would not mind seeing Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Black Cat. That would be the most chaotic and hilarious story, good god.

In general tho, I mostly interact with DC when it comes to content consumption, so I have a lot of notable favourites in that world (ie. John Constantine, Jon Kent, Wonder Woman, and Zatanna).

[constantinemaddeswife]

this is an open letter. Of sorts.

I wish I'd had the foresight to die with some thick fancy paper and an even fancier fountain pen on my person. It would feel more satisfactory, I think. More official.

But, well. Let us not start talking about foresight and regret. Otherwise we would be here for an eternity. I died with my phone, meaning I can still blog, and I can still write my letter.

Joseph. Father.

...Dad.

I don't know how to feel about you. I don't know how to feel about myself.

I only started using she/her pronouns because you have always hated women. It was spite. But now.....I really like it. It feels like....me. Of course I understand that our mission is the most important thing, that our future depends on Constantine's ascent. And I don't mind being a tool for this movement - it is an honor to be able to serve our cause in such a significant way. Until the last breath I took I knew that I'd been important. To our cause. To what it would mean to be able to bring the dead back to life. I thought I'd been important to you, too. I hadn't even been fully aware of that last one until you forced me to doubt it.

I don't like seeing you cry, dad. I know you tried to hide it, but I could hear you sniffling and howling and sobbing like a pathetic little pony when you thought I was already asleep. When you cried in the same way over my corpse - when I became the reason for your suffering. I just wanted to climb on your back like I used to and tickle that one spot behind your left ear until you started laughing again. I just... I just wanted you to be happy. Like you'd been before Constantine died. Before that hole inside your soul I could never fill no matter how much I tried.

But then you stopped.

You stopped. And you bowed before Call, a boy who had no memories of his past life, as I had already told you. You bowed before him and you thanked him and you looked at him with the love and adoration only reserved for Constantine's corpse.

You bowed in front of a stranger mere minutes after he killed your kid. After he killed....me.

I always knew I was never as important as the cause. Couldn't even dream of being as important as Constantine. Call. Whatever. I thought I knew it. But it still hurt. It still felt like a betrayal.

And then you go and build a shrine. For me. Iaskfiuahehrjfud

WAIT WTF ARE THEY DOING TO THW MAUSOLEUM

WAIT ARE THEY ACTUALLY

OMG

THE FUCKING. THE FUCKING FORTITUDE AGAINST DEATH?!?! THE BUILDING THAT STANDS FOR EVERYTHING WE ARE FIGHTING FOR?!?!?!?!?!

WAIT IS CALL ACTUALLY

OH MY GOD

CONSTANTINES HEAD?!?! ALDKFUSJRKFIFUAUKEFOUAJFJFBDJSJF WTF WTF WTF

Adrien son of John Constantine and King Shark.

I had this crazy idea, and now I can't get rid of it. So I decided that everyone would suffer with me.

Here's the idea: What if Adrien was the son of John Constantine and King Shark?

 ***************

Constantine and Nanaue (King Shark) have more of a "friends with benefits" relationship. They are not exactly together. One day, they bump into each other and as usual they have their fun together. However, this time John accidentally casts a fertility spell.

They split up again.

The story should have ended there. Only, a few weeks later, Nanaue felt strange. He found himself with a fever and a lot of stomachache. The time passed and he felt more and more strange. He already had a monstrous diet before, but now it only got worse. His desire to eat had almost tripled.

What makes him feel even stranger is that he craves food that he didn't care for before, such as normal human food. And above all... He wanted to eat vegetables... He was going crazy, right?

He began to steal food from several restaurants on the seaside.

This was not all. He felt less fast, more quickly tired. He felt like he was always in a bad mood. The only thing Nanaue wanted was to be left alone in his underwater cave. Even the presence of fish around him (which was normal at the bottom of the ocean) irritated him to no end.

After about 7 months, he realized that his belly was much bigger than before. And above all, he felt something move in his stomach. It was at that moment that Nanaue knew exactly what was happening to him.

As crazy as it may sound, he was expecting a pup.

The idea of having an heir/heiress bothered him to no end. He wasn't really a father figure. He was a shark, not a stupid human. Nanaue didn't care why or how this happened. The fact was that he was expecting a cub. End of story.

He decided to wait. He had nothing else to do anyway.

Months later, Nanaue gave birth to a ................... He had absolutely no idea what this thing was. However, this... thing?... had golden hair and piercing green eyes. He stared at the thing, then realized that the whatever it was looked like John Constantine.

Hmm.

Nanaue finally found a solution to his problem.

*********

 John was drinking in a bar. He didn't even really remember which one it was. He was just tired. Suddenly, he heard screams. People started running. He didn't move. He didn't care what was going on, he just wanted to finish his beer.

He felt a tap on his shoulder. John sighed, then turned around.

"Hmm.... Nanaue?"

"Here."

The humanoid shark pressed what appeared to be a small boy against him. He hadn't noticed it at all. And then most importantly... WTF?!

"What the?!"

"He's yours. Not my problem anymore."

The shark then ran out of the bar, leaving the kid in John's arms.

John blinked several times, still in shock. Then he looked more closely at the kid in his arms.

A little blond boy with green eyes.

WTF?!

How to write Green Arrow in 2023:

1) Bring back Green Arrow’s leftist bent and have him fight white collar criminals. He quits the Justice League and vows to leave all the supernatural/otherworldly Starro shit to the other capes; he’s going to be helping people on the ground from now on, making sure they have housing and access to healthcare. Occasionally he shoots someone with a bow, I guess.

2) Each 4-6 issue story arc functions like an episode of Last Week Tonight or something like that (Holy shit! Jon Oliver Queen!!?!?) in that it functions as both entertainment and kinda backdoor educates the viewer/reader, or shines a light on a different topic: tax havens, “Don’t Say Gay” bills, Landback, police unions, whatever. Shit, have him look into QANON and incels or comic-booky representations thereof.

3) Like 3 or 4 arcs in, once the series has found it’s feet a bit, Queen sues Wayne Tech. He’s been digging into Wayne’s finances and found dozens of shell companies that seem to be diverting funds from Wayne Tech to… well to somewhere? These funds just kind of disappear from the books. So Bats is all “Haha Ollieee, bud, you know. That’s for the, haha, you know, *wink emoji* *bat emoji* (bro wtf, you trying to blow up my spot? You want me to make this hard for you?)”

Oliver, one of the only characters besides Constantine who doesn’t give a *poop emoji* and will talk shit directly to Batman, is like “Yeah? Say it into the mic please? (All of the taxes that you haven’t been paying belong to the people. Pay your share. Pay what you owe us. Wanna risk getting doxxed?).”

4) Imagine the letter column. If the tone of the book was right it’d be filled with tankies and anarchists in no time.

Do I just need to read fanfic at this point?

[evasive-anon]

Damian from Dceased would be a cool pre-existing option for this prompt. I know DC vs Vampires is more popular on tumblr and probably in general but please let me lore dump on this.

In his last appearance DCeased: War of the Undead Gods #8 Damian's just turned 18, he's lost almost all members of the batfam (Alfred and Cass I think are still kicking, Steph is an unknown because Damian begged Talia to take her to a pit when she was dying and he never finds out what happened to her) and he likes aborbs the life equation from Cyborg and sacrifices himself to save the galaxy from the anti-life equation zombies. Any death moment is a great excuse to isekai someone is what anime taught me so it seems like it'd work.

Notable facts from the Dceased timeline that could be tasty angst food for showing up in the past:

At the start of Dceased, Damian and Alfred lose everyone super quickly. Basically the anti-life virus infected people through the internet so Babs, Dick, and Tim all are turned about immediately. Dick and Tim are at the manor and start attacking Alfred, Bruce intervenes and saves Alfred but gets infected in the process. Alfred ends up having to kill all 3 of them with his shotgun which gives Alfred super PTSD (panel below is one of Alfred's nightmares afterwards).

Before he dies, Bruce gives Alfred a package and letter for Damian. The package? A batman costume in Damian's size and the letter basically says the mantle is his job now. (lowkey wtf bruce why do your last words to your kid gotta be batman related omg.) Since Damian was with the supers when this started his story and the justice league's are pretty intertwined but on a high level, he becomes Batman gets reunited with Steph who becomes his Robin (this dynamic SLAPS).

Damian also made his way back to the batcave at one point and found that Jason must have beaten him there because Bruce, Dick, and Tim are now buried and this is where this iconic panel comes in:

I think this moment is key, because if you want a Damian who particularly moved by Jason finding him Dceased Damian has good reason. In this moment he realizes he may at least still have one brother alive in this world, but tragically, the world is doing VERY bad. The JL determines fleeing the planet is their best option. They setup some space ships in key cities around the world for a survivor exodus, and to Damian's Jason does not show up to any.

Unbeknownst to him, Jason and Cass are actually together and alive but defending a orphanage alongside Rose Wilson, Mary Marvel, and Commissioner Gordon. They didn't have any transportation that could get them and the kids all to a ship by launch time so they had to hunker down unless they intended to abandon some of the orphans.

5 years later, the JL ends up coming back to Earth and Jason and Damian do end up reuniting, Jason tells him Bruce was right to make him Batman and Damian freaks out cause Jason actually got married. He also finds out Cass is alive. Its like a happy moment before things go downhill again.

And they go downhill very quickly, Constantine enlists the help of Jason, Damian, Rose, Cass, and Swamp Thing to go on an adventure to get the spear of destiny and go the Rock of Eternity and while at the second location an infected Capt Marvel Jr (Freddy) kills Jason before Cass takes the staff from Shazam and uses her newfound lightning powers to kill Freddy.

Rose is super upset to have her husband killed in front of her (TWICE THANKS TO HER BEING ABLE TO SEE THE FUTURE) and Damian is pissed that the family he JUST got back is now dead.

Damian gets extra pissed when Constantine doesn't even apologize for getting his brother killed after promising him no one would die. Why not apologize? John reveals he literally bamboozled Damian into giving support for his plan with the loophole of only promising to not kill anyone who wasn't ALREADY dead. lmfao. Damian did at least deck him for it but like the absolute audacity, but GOD Constantine was so funny and out of line on that.

Honestly that sums up all the batfam deaths prior to Damian's own. But his final panels go INSANELY HARD. He's literally like you took my family and I'm gonna take you out. Peak Batman vibes. Usually I hate Damian being the one with the mantle but I think it really worked in this run.

Prompt:

Damian, who has just lost the last member of his family, goes off the deep end and, in a fit of violent rage, goes tumbling through a portal and back in time.

Jason doesn’t know how the scary guy with the gunshot wound became his problem but he’s not heartless enough to leave him to bleed out beside some dumpster in Crime Alley.
