Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

Darci

In the past, the Darci Doll was a hugely popular toy. Future fashion designer Lana Lang was an enormous fan of the Darci Doll, collecting all of the doll’s various couture outfits and accessories.  The great fun Lana had with this doll contributed to her future career as a fashion designer.  

Years later, the villainous Toyman wanted a companion and created a sophisticated android in the exact image of the Darci Doll. Entirely life-like, the android was endowed with an artificial intelligence that ultimately gained sentience.  This Darci became bored with the Toyman and she fled.  Now calling herself Darcy Madison, she went on to become a fashion model where her perfect features made her a huge star.  Now a celebrated designer, Lana Lang was struck by Darcy and how she so reminded her of her beloved doll.  Lana asked Darcy to work with her; the model accepted and was soon the face of Lang’s hotly anticipated Fall line.

Feeling betrayed, the Toyman sent his mechanical minions to abduct Darci and bring her back to him.  His toy robots attacked during a fashion show, an event Clark Kent was attending so to support his friend, Lana.  Quickly changing into Superman, the hero fended off the toys and saved Darci.  

Tired of having to hide from Toyman, Darci decided to seek out her creator and kill him so she could be free.  Yet Toyman had built a contingency failsafe into Darci making it so her systems would shut down were she to try to harm him.  Captured, Darci was placed in a life-sized ‘Darci Doll’ box and displayed among the rest of Toyman’s collection.  

Superman, meanwhile, tracked down the Toyman’s layer.  In the following battle, both Toyman and Darci appeared to perish.  

Having survived, Darci fled to Dakota City where she tried to make a new life for herself as a teacher at the prestigious Vanmoor Institute.  There Darci took on the alias of Ms. Moore and became close with her prized pupil, young Daisy Watkins.  

Once again The Toyman managed to track Darci down.  What Darci truly wanted to be more human and to have a new life free from her past.  Toyman agreed to help her; he abducted Daisy Watkins and created a synthetic version of her that Darci’s consciousness could be transformed into.  Of course the real Daisy would have to be killed so Darci could completely take her place and Darci coldly agreed to this condition.  

Fortunately, Superman had been tracking the Toyman.  He and Static teamed up to bring down the villain and save Daisy Watkins.  During the ensuing battle, Darci tried to kill Toyman.  It triggered her failsafe and she self-destructed.  A heart broken Toyman gave up, his precious toy now gone forever.  

Actresses Nancy Travis and Nicollette Sheridan each provided the voice for Darci with the tragic android first appearing in the fourth episode of the third season of Superman: The Animated Series, ‘Obsession.’

"I'm Darci. I'm fabulous!"

Based in Jimxie Time Travel AU

This is a version of Darci that is effected by the ripple effects of time thanks to Douxie and Jim. She has a much bigger role in the story than in the original and I've been working on her design on my pass time for fun.

Darci is the captain of the cheer squad and has crucial role in Trollhunters. Still working on what kind story I want her to have but ghosts are Darci's main thing. Girl is going to be haunted👻

Some random muppet ideas

Work and commission stuff is keeping me pretty busy, so while I work on the next chapter of Fever in my free time here are some potential what if ideas I might explore in the future

~~~~~~~~~~~

-I think I mentioned this briefly at some point, but I like to hc that Darci becomes to the Moopets what Scooter was to the band in the original movie. Of course the Moopets don't travel around, so Darci isn't their road manager per say, but being a lot younger than the Moopets she has a stronger idea on what modern rock music is like and what sells. Darci doesn't really care about the whole 'mortal enemies' thing the Moopets (Poogy especially) have with Muppets, more so with Piggy and the Mayhem. She see's the rivalry more as entertainment, and if she ever chips in to add to it it's always in a teasing sense, never really outright mean or nasty.

At some point or other, maybe when both the band and the mayhem are hanging out at the Tavern, the two groups get into a small bicker which Liv politely excuses herself from. She spots Darci standing nearby, enjoying the show while sipping on a beverage, and goes to nervously introduce herself. It's infuriating how effortlessly good Darci is at getting under her skin, the playful jabs, mockery and teasing is far more effective then Liv would like to admit. The conversation ends with Liv a lot more ticked off then Darci is, who only smiles in light amusement at her. Liv despises the Muppets and Darci's stupid smug face

(Liv: We're going to DESTROY them.

Teeth: Okay- So, love the enthusiasm! But uh, mayhaps you should dial it back a little bit and, ya know, calm down-

Liv: I'M PERFECTLY CALM!)

- Penny and Floyd friendship. Floyd is constantly sassing Piggy, and despite knowing the consequences he still does it. By nature Floyd is a pretty sassy guy, and Piggy's reactions are especially funny (the part where he ends up ducking from being karate chopped or from a projectile being thrown at him is less fun), so I imagine Floyd would be sassy with Penny purely on second nature and half the time without realising. Penny and Piggy are quite similar, both for their love of fashion and everything high class, and while Penny considers Piggy a friend, she also thinks Piggy is....well, annoying. Penny doesn't envy Deadly's position as her right hand man and personal designer. She LIKES Piggy, but she doesn't consider Piggy to be in her close circle of friends. For example, if she was having a bad day, and had to choose between ranting to the band or Piggy, she'd pick the band.

Penny doesn't consider herself especially close to the band, but considering Liv works for them Penny is familiar with them. On more then one occasion I can see Penny stepping in to save Floyd from being throttled by Piggy on Liv's pleading request, which then leads to Floyd using her as a shield whenever he's running away from said diva. I can see Floyd amping up his sass metre when Penny's around because he knows Penny isn't going to karate chop him, the worst Penny does is roll her eyes with an unimpressed groan

-Penny becoming like an auntie to Gloira Estefan. Both being fashion designers with low bs tolerances, Penny and Deadly actually get along very well whenever the two have to work together. Being a close contact of Liv on the odd occasions outfits need altering or, as Piggy calmly refers to, a fashion calamity, Penny is called in for backup. Penny and Deadly are pretty much the others emotional and mental support as they sort everything out, then they gossip over martinis in one of the studios many lounge rooms which are prepared for the guest stars. When Penny learns of Gloria Estefan she's very caught off guard, and the first interaction went something like this

Penny: Deadly...

Deadly: Yes?

Penny: There is a baby penguin huddled on your foot..

Deadly: (looks down to Gloria Estefan who is happily huddled on his foot, sleeping)...I'm aware

Penny: It's sleeping

Deadly:...I'm still aware

When Penny learns that Deadly has pretty much adopted this teenie little bag of feathers, it's one of the rare instances in which Penny teases. Deadly, mister grumpy grouch has an itty bitty soft spot after all! Deadly responds by giving her a look as Penny takes at least fifty pictures of Gloria minimum. Whenever Penny visits the studio she's actually looks forward to visiting dear like Estefan, and of course teasing dear old Deadly. She picks up the auntie status both without realising and without Deadly's permission, but Deadly doesn't mind, now he has a babysitter

-When travelling on the road the band live off gas station sushi and take out, not the healthiest, but it's delicious. Their fridge at the shack is probably 95% junk food, and 5% vegetables they forgot where in there. Animal is the worst snacker when it comes to the band, so any food Liv leaves there she often labels, hoping that nobody will eat it. One of Liv's favourite junk foods is spicy noodles, so she's most definitely started keeping a small stash of them in the shack for the times when she stays over or just craving them. Teeth of course, can't handle spice, but I like to think Teeth doesn't understand how bad his tolerance is.

He likes to think and say he can handle spicy stuff, but he's wrong, oh so very wrong. Liv is aware of this, and so triple labels her spicy noodles so Teeth doesn't accidentally eat them. But of course, he does. He calmly reads and them rips off the warning sticky notes, cooks the noodles, and then proceeded to spit fire for the next twenty minutes. Liv came back to the shack to find Teeth wheezing and curled up on the floor with a spilt noodle pot laying on the floor

The unknown rooms creatures

Ones that are harmless: Ash, Lee braykey, darci, gooberus, eyebbit

Ones that are neutral- eyeboy, snake tile, pumptacle

Ones that will actually kill you- masked figure, infected voodoo, redface

(if you don't know what the unknown rooms are, it's a thing that when you go to the abandoned place and you have to discover it but at the same time trying to escape while the creature will hunt you down or to help you or to scare you, and each door will lead you to any room with a creature in it and in other chances by killing you, scaring you, or to help you escape the abandon place)

Darci Cover Girl Doll Commercial (1979)

[teaboot]

Yeah Mr. Darcy’s proposal was a complete turd and a half but you gotta understand. You got your life together. A good career, stable income, retirement plan, all that shit together. And you meet this girl. And she’s everything. Clever, outspoken, funny, calls you on your bullshit. Grade A cutie, right? And she doesn’t go out of her way to spend time with you but she’s nice, and sometimes you catch her looking your way in a way that makes you think you might have a shot.

But her family. Holy shit.

First off, it’s p much ALL women, and mostly UNMARRIED women, which at this time means of something happens to her dad then you’re financially responsible for like. Four grown ass adults, potentially forever

Because mom in law is DEFINITELY gonna need someone to take care of her when dad in law kicks it, and they have like. NO money. So already you’re accepting that if all goes well, you’re gonna be one random old bag’s retirement home. That’s expensive and exhausting, yeah? Imagine asking someone on a first date knowing that if they say yes and things go good her high-strung chihuahua mother is gonna move in with you. IMAGINE.

And girly’s other sisters. Well, one is a sweetheart, yeah, so she probably won’t be an issue, but that still leaves three more, and two of those ones are INSUFFERABLE. Never went to school, dumb as rocks, spend cash like it’s toilet paper

And while one of the two is young still and might grow out of it the OTHER one is actively torpedo’ing her entire family’s reputation by wandering off with random dudes and chasing ass. She’s never gonna work, she can’t build connections, she’s a fucking sinkhole, and she’s being led on by the same goddamn con man ass leeching tit who’s been bleeding you dry while telling anyone who’ll listen that your family is full of ratty thieving bastards.

And if he dumps her after a week- WHICH YOU KNOW HIS BITCH ASS IS GONNA- you’ve got a SECOND UNMARRIABLE GROWN ASS ADULT TO PROVIDE FOR. And you KNOW she’s gonna be a tantrum-throwing little shit about it, and it’s not like you can lock her in the basement or something, you’re gonna have to bring her fucking. Everywhere. And give her an allowance and shit while she contributes zero, because again, she NEVER GOT EDUCATED AND HAS NO MARKETABLE SKILLS. She’s not even good to TALK to. FUCK

And you’re looking at this girl’s father like “please for the love of fuck get your spawn under control, marry them off, get them working on their résumé, learning to sew or be nursemaids or manage staff or SOMETHING, yall got no money and one foot in the grave” and that old man just laughs like “haha yeah, what can you do. lol”

So you’re looking to the mom and finally it’s making sense how she got that twitch in her eye and as MUCH as she is you’re starting to realize she’s the SMART one, desperately throwing her armloads of girls at random men like they’re a bunch of fucking lifeboats bobbing around a sinking ship, like yes Jesus Christ sweetly that life boat IS old and ugly and kind of boring but for FUCKS SAKE PICK ONE

And you look back at this girl who is ALSO REFUSING THE LIFE BOATS BY THE WAY and god damn it she’s still the most radiant thing you’ve ever seen so fine, fuck it, Christ alive, you’ll do it. You’ll shoot your shot. She’s everything you’ve ever wanted in anybody abut it’s not even just about that anymore, it’s about being her best fucking shot at a future, and even if she doesn’t like you all that much she’s still gonna say yes and that might break your heart a bit knowing it’s about the money but who knows, maybe it will at least be civil, or companionable, and even if she doesn’t LOVE you at least you’ll know she’s well and cared for

And so you’ll do it. You’ll take on the neurotic stress mess mother in law, the absent father, the broke ass wingnut no brain no money no future airhead sisters, the bad mannered relatives and the embarrassing behaviour and the impending future of sharing your entire shit with a clown parade of freeloaders, you’ll risk it all and accept the absolute certainty of financial ruin and emotional exhaustion for the rest of your whole ass life and you’ll make your own family deal with it too, you’ll do it, you’ll fucking DO IT, you stupid lovesick motherfucker

And so you go to this chick like “look. Your whole family’s a shitshow. You’ve got fucking nothing and you’re gonna die on the street. But for some reason- and I don’t get it either- I’ve fallen in love with you, and I wish I didn’t, but I did, so I’m telling you that whether you like me or not, I’ll give you everything. I’ll give you everything even if it’s the dumbest shit I ever done. Fuck my stupid Baka ass, I’ll marry you.”

And she looks at you- having heard or considered absolutely none of your months-long internal debate and monologue- and goes “The fuck did you just say about my family, you son of a bitch?”

And the shock of that is enough to jolt you back into a reality where you are able to actually hear and process what just came out of your damn mouth And yeah

Yeah, I think I kinda get it
