#Dimensional Shenanigans

[lolottes]

variation of yesterday's idea:

Flash makes a double change in the timeline

Danny this time does not come from this universe. He claims that Flash erased his existence as a hero AND as a civilian and not only that, HIS city doesn't even exist anymore, he doesn't know where his friends or family are now! insert eyes here wet holding fake tears

So ok it was a big lie and blatant manipulation, but the GiW had killed his friends, his family learned of his hybridization and his parents wanted to "cure" him and they gave him medicine to knock him out and he s only woken up because they made him fall down the stairs leading to the labs where the dissection table had been prepared and everything! After a hasty escape and a call from Jazz, who had inquired about their parents' plans, she sent him to get Dani and then demanded that they leave for the zone… then a few hours after confirming that they had both arrived in the area the portal had exploded!

So yes Dani and him had decided to move into another dimension and clocwork had the idea of the stratagem of using the temporal changes of a hero named flash to insert themselves

I’ve been seeing a decent amount of “Amity gets scooped and plopped into dc dimension” style prompts so consider: Shadow Zone Amity.

Amity doesn’t appear out of no where in Illinois, in the dc world. It’s not near Gotham/Star City/Metropolis. Instead it’s inside of Gotham (bc batman crossovers remain my interest but any city could work). 

So. Idk how many people are familiar with Transformers Prime but the shadow dimension is a mirror of the real world but in muted colors and people in the shadow dimension can see and hear people from the original dimension, however, people in the regular dimension cannot see/hear/feel/etc. anything from the shadow dimension.

I like that idea but instead of it being the shadow dimension being a mirror it’s a copy of DP’s world and instead of a one way type of perception the dp and dc dimensions remain separate… kinda.

Amity absorbs parts of Gotham and makes a shadowy copy of various places. The citizens of Amity are like, “Well. There’s a new park/office building/street/etc. I guess.” 

Gotham, meanwhile, remains the same. Physically.

Sometimes people will appear in Gotham, walking, sitting in the park, etc. But they never acknowledge anyone and can disappear between one blink and the next. If there happen to be two and they speak to each other, it sounds like static. No one can’t touch them- Gothamites go through them. These ‘shades’ are Amity people in the Gotham areas that have a shadowy duplicate in Amity. None of the Amity people are aware this is happening. 

I imagine the Gotham side of things dubs the Amity people shades ghosts XD

Anyway, on the Amity side a major ghost fight has to happen in one of the Gotham sections and so the Amity people run. Some are screaming, all are frantically trying to get away. One problem though- Ghost Zone ghosts don’t render on the Gotham side. So the Gothamites don’t see Phantom nor whoever he was fighting.

So now the Bats are desperately trying to figure out what could have spooked all the ‘ghosts’ (Amity shades) so badly because, I mean, it’s Gotham. It’s going to pop up again and bite them, right? 

I figure Gothamites can get into Amity too. If one of them passes a threshold from an area of overlap where Gotham exists in the shadow zone then they can step into Amity, however no one from Amity can see them and no one can hear them. If they get back to a place of overlap they’ll end up back in Gotham.

Maybe overtime the merging gets better/worse and things start interacting more. Roads appear and disappear on either side. Buildings clipping in and out of reality, the Amity shades being able to interact with Gotham by like tripping on things that exist in Gotham but not Amity, the Amity people seeing items move that Gothamites are moving around in their dimension, etc. I don’t know. But listen.

The court of owls needs to have one of their 13th floor shindigs and just. Amity shades everywhere. They take over all the 13th floors, making the owl associates terrified because why are all these ‘ghosts’ suddenly haunting notoriously cursed floors?? They begin to believe their own stories. Bonus if the Amity people take the coffee and that’s the only thing they can interact with from the Gotham side 13th floors so now the owl court is supplying the ‘ghosts’ coffee so they can still use the 13th floors as their meeting places in ‘exchange’. The coffee offerings are appeasement. Meanwhile Amity side people are convinced there’s a coffee ghost somewhere because these brands don’t actually exist and where else is it coming from?

The Nasty Burger and Bat Burger could overlap. Someone walks into Nasty Burger and orders Nightwings. Someone at Bat Burger walks up and asks for Nasty Sauce.

Vlads lab and the batcave could merge sometimes. Imagine one of the bats running an analysis and suddenly theres a different computer with cloning info or detailing how to cut off a ghost’s circulation to control them more effectively? Or Danny sneaks into Vlad’s lab and theres a stack of adoption papers and foster stuff for various situations (that belong to Bruce, unbeknownst to him) and is utterly horrified at the level of detailed scenarios that Vlad’s got adoption contingencies for.

Howdy! You seem familiar! (To WM)

[lolottes]

now to know if Danny Phantom is a cartoon in DC and what would be the hero who could have consumed this type of media and could recognize them.

…

It would be funny if it was Constantine who was fully aware of things and passed the DVDs of the series to Billy when he was visiting the house of mystery

The US government when multiple of their servers has been hacked and they can't find a trace of who's doing it: What is going on!?

Tucker, literally in an internet cafe sipping on some milk with what little money he had on him: Haha, lol.

---

Lex Luthor when he's told that multiple of his servers has been hacked and put into disorder with seemingly no purpose: Find whoever this is, immediately!

Eve Teschmacher: Sir, our best is unable to find whoever hacked into our servers, in fact, our attempts to stop, build up defenses or force them out, have only been met with more, chaotic files.

Lex Luthor, banging his fist on the table: What do I pay them for!? Find them immediately!

Tucker, literally in an internet cafe a few blocks away from the Lexcorp building: Get gud noobs!

---

Oracle, when her servers has been hacked by an unknown: Raises eyebrow

Oracle, when said unknown begins to mess around in her servers and basically goads her into trying them: Oh it's on.

Oracle, when she conveniently hacks into said unknown's coordinates and finds it leading to an internet cafe, to which it then gets fizzled out by the unknown: Hm. I should tell someone.

Also Oracle: However.

Tucker, chugging down his milk and booting it from the internet cafe while disconnecting from Oracle's servers and sending multiple signals to hopefully take her off his trails: shit shit shit shitshitshitshitshitshit

---

The Justice League, after noticing that Mount Justice is currently being hacked in the middle of a debriefing:

Batman and Robin fighting against the hacker, with the new addition of Oracle who just, appeared out of nowhere: Oh, I know this guy!

Batman, narrowing his eyes: Explain.

Oracle, refusing to explain but instead manages to snag the unknown's current whereabouts while simultaneously wiping said whereabouts before the unknown (Who is currently distracted by Robin and Batman) could notice, while also downloading said location to Batman's suit all at once: I think they can do that for you.

Batman, relents and flows away from the computer and walks away from the Young Justice team: Superman, with me. Red Tornado, continue the debriefing.

Tucker, currently in an internet cafe sipping on boba after acquiring some money, chewing and furiously tapping away at his PDA: ...I may have bitten off more than I can chew, here.

Tucker, looking up when someone sat down in relatively hidden (and by that he means square in the corner) booth and choking on his boba to see the Batman and Superman sitting across from his casually:

Batman, when the unknown he was looking for was literally a 14-year-old currently staring at the both of them in shock with a PDA held together by a mass amount of tape, determination and probable hope: Narrows eyes and stares at Superman.

Superman, currently ordering off of the menu: Raises hands with an innocent expression What? We're at a cafe, might as well?

Batman, staring at him for a solid few minutes, before also ordering something off of the menu:

Tucker, currently experiencing his life flashing before his eyes, but trying to play it off: Sips Boba.

(For your information by the way, Tucker got thrown to the DC universe and basically became a little shit by hacking into multiple places for literally no reason other than to have fun and fuck with people.)

Imagine if all the Megatrons swapped Starscreams like g1 Starscream ended up in tfp armada starscream ending up in tfa and tfp Starscream ended up in g1

Oh boy-

G1 Starscream is dead within 20 minutes. He tries to kill TFP Megatron and unlike the one he's used to, this Megatron does not tolerate insubordination of any kind. His Starscream gets away with it because he's got a bangin body and purrs the word, "Masteeer~" very appealingly. He also doesn't have any attachment to this Starscream. Blasts him straight through the spark with his fusion canon and rolls his optics, leaving the vehicons to clean up the corpse

Armada in TFA is... weird. This Megatron is a lot less, how do I put it? Mouthy? Verbally abusive? He's not going to ridicule this new Starscream and dress him down publicly like the Megatron he's used to. This Megatron actually treats him really well, compared to what he's used to? He doesn't hit him nor make him out to be worthless and an easy target for all kinds of smacktalk. This Megatron is much quieter and more calculating, definitely more manipulative, but his soft voice and patient nature make Starscream putty in his hands. He's not at all opposed to more forces, and this seeker is obedient and seems to openly crave his praise and validation. It's very easy for TFA Megatron to get him under his control, and they're both happy with that arrangement

TFP Starscream legitimately takes over the decepticons in less than 24 hours. These clowns don't have to hide from humans and do the exact, same, thing, every single day without fail. Their plans are always the same, they don't even seem to have any overarching goals aside from annoying the autobots. Plus, they're tiny compared to him (the g1 bots are like?? Between 15 and 20 feet tall, TFP Scream clocks in at over 30). Their armor is thin and he has much heavier weaponry. Killing off or defeating Megatron is laughably easy after everything he's endured with his own. Whether he keeps him alive as a trophy or just kills him to take his throne is up to you, but the decepticons have a new boss. A boss with more grand ideas than just endless energon raids. He does a complete overhaul of their security system (the amount of times that autobota get in here is alarming. How they've not just been blown to smithereens yet is beyond him), upgrades their weapons and battle plans, and most importantly: starts working on an actual longterm plan to fix this shit. He runs an incredibly tight ship and even Soundwave is hard pressed to deny that he's lethally efficient.

Dimensional Crossroads pt 2

Context: The chaos from portals randomly opening hadn't improved at all, with heroes and citizens from different universes landing in Batman's world. Still, they managed to pause the openings for a short time. Batman and his team weren't sure who was safe or who might be insane. There version of Jason had fallen through one, replaced with a less brash one who didn't die by the hands of the Joker and there's an insane Joker Jr. who managed to escape as well.

Batman managed to calm citizens from many dimensions, including his own, while helping to arrest numerous wayward goons and strange villains. He had a lot on his plate and couldn't work alone, though he hated to admit it. He appreciated people like Batwoman for helping out and taking down goons, but something about her felt off to him—he just wasn't sure why.

Batman (in his head): I hope she's not a stalker or insane... or another version of Kate. Thoughts for later.

Then there was Batwoman, aka Martha Wayne, who had spent most of the pandemonium trying to determine if this version of Batman was her son. She approached the situation in a calm and collected manner—something she typically excelled at. However, as she held a crazed otherworldly goon in a headlock, she couldn't help but look at Batman with pride.

Batwoman (whispering): It has to be him.

With swift precision, Batwoman knocked the goon unconscious by pressing her thumb and forefinger against a pressure point on the side of their neck. She calmly dropped the crook to the ground and confidently stepped over them, approaching Bruce, who was catching his breath as the chaos began to ease and police cars drove away with numerous arrested villains.

Batwoman!Martha (supportively): Good job, sonny! You took down bad guys and you're so good at calming the public.

Batwoman patted Batman on the back, then the top of his head, a wide smile on her face.

Batman (confused and uncomfortable): Stop doing that.

Batwoman’s enthusiasm momentarily faltered, but she smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Batwoman: Sorry, instinct. I'm just incredibly impressed with how strong you are. I mean, the way you handled that situation back there—most people would have panicked. But you? You kept your cool and tackled it head-on. There’s a certain resilience in you that really stands out. It's a rare quality, you know?

Batwoman laughed nervously, trying to sound calm, but Batman stared at her, puzzled.

Batman: Hm, thank you for the praise I wasn’t focusing on. I don’t mind it, but… we should probably head to my cave.

Batwoman's eyes lit up, a childish excitement breaking through her otherwise composed demeanor as she pinched Batman's exposed cheek.

Batwoman (leaning in, keeping her voice low enough that no civilians could hear her): Yes! You have your own cave!

Nightwing, Spoiler, and Orphan watched this strange spectacle from a distance, exchanging knowing glances as they came to the same conclusion. Batman took a few steps away, trying to establish boundaries with Batwoman, who was treating him like a child. Meanwhile, Martha observed her son with a knowing smile.

Nightwing: Right… that’s his mom from another dimension?

Spoiler: Absolutely. She's taken on the role of a hero mom around him, which means her version of B definitely died. Tragic, but this is adorably hilarious.

Orphan nodded.

Orphan (through sign language): And B doesn't seem to be aware. Should we tell him?

Spoiler and Nightwing exchanged glances, then chimed in unison.

Spoiler and Nightwing: Nope.

Batman, finishing his gentle scolding, turned to Batwoman with a serious expression.

Batman: I'm not sure your age, but I don't appreciate you treating me like this at all. I don't even know you. While you're here, can you act as you would in your world?

Batwoman nodded, her expression shifting to thoughtful contemplation.

Batwoman: You're right… It's odd seeing my… gender-swapped version of me that may or may not be vastly younger than me. Might be the same age as my… nephew, who is in his mid-40s and enjoys Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes novels?

Batwoman eyed the man studying his expression, but he was difficult to read. Just like her. Batman sighed, shaking his head in exasperation.

Batman: Okay, not responding to any of tha—

Batwoman: Oh, hold on a moment, dear.

Without warning, Batwoman quickly took the gun Batman had swiped from her out of his utility belt and shot a creepy goon who was sneaking up on Batman, ready to attack him. She aimed directly for his thigh, causing the man to collapse to the ground, groaning in pain but still alive. Batman glared at the female version of him, a mixture of disbelief and annoyance on his face as he held out his hand.

Batwoman (calmly handing him her gun): Here you go. Don’t worry, that’s my pellet gun, but the one with real bullets is on my utility belt. I simply grazed him. I do worry about the insanity unfolding in front of us. If I know anything about portals, this could lead to stronger rifts and tears in both our dimensions. Do you have anyone we can chat with for more information about this?

Batman nodded, glad she was returning back to the matter at hand. He motioned for Batwoman to follow as he walked toward his Batmobile.

Batwoman: This is going to be swell! Two intelligent detectives saving the dimensions. That’s… cool, right?

Batman stopped walking and slowly turned to the woman he didn't recognize as his mother. He felt a strange mix of intrigue and uncertainty.

Batman: Oddly enough, I am intrigued in working with you.

Batman turned back around to head to his car. Meanwhile, Batwoman high-fived herself in excitement, then hurried to catch up with him, holding off her praise to avoid embarrassing her possible son further. Nightwing and the others mounted their motorbikes, eagerly anticipating Batman's shocked reaction when he discovered who Batwoman!Martha actually was.

I had a sudden vision I had to immediately sketch out - Tim and his trusty Scolipede! (Pokemon AU? DC world but also just Pokemon?? who knows, certainly not me)

[changeling-rin]

What would happen if Gen had to fight through DL's plot while technically alone, but having all the other Links (including all the sequel/OC/backstory Links for maximum chaos) stuck as voices in his head?

The others can try to take control by force if they want to, though if multiple people (Gen included) are trying to pull Gen's body in different directions he'll fall over or something from the conflicting feedback. He doesn't have access to the others' items but they can share knowledge and if everyone agrees to let someone specific have control that person's skills can be used.

...This is just Demise's problem but with Gen as the victim instead. Oh this poor boy.

Good News, the Links are not the sorts of people to hijack a body that isn't theirs, especially when the owner is actively driving it. Gen remains the pilot of his own existence for roughly 95% of the time.

For the other 5%, there are a few Rules in place:

Rule One, the Four are not allowed to drive, ever. Their multiplicity mixes very very badly with a single body. They accept this with a minimal amount of resigned sighing.

Rule Two, Gen's permission is required first, unless there is a legitimate emergency and there's no time for permission.

Rule Three, in the case of said legitimate emergency, Lore drives. He has the most experience with Weird Possession Situations.

On the other hand, they never quite got around for making Rules for the rest of it, such as taking turns talking or whatnot. Gen hasn't had a single second of quiet headspace since this whole mess began, and it he hasn't gone a little bit mad from the mental cacophony of it all by now, then he most certainly will have by the time this whole mess ends

Adventures of Wally & The Gang (plus their Caretaker)

Keep A Level Head

Warnings: None. Humor. Just more silly antics. Inspired by the anime “ Aggretsuko”.  

Word Count: 834

Brief Description: The Welcome Home cast is alive, living alongside humans. You have been contracted as their Caretaker. Our dear Caretaker has been running around all day, working hard. On top of your daily administrative work, you also have to babysit tend to the colorful ensemble of actors, plus all the other studio employees, who can’t seem to do things on their own.

[Not sure if this constitutes a WH!Muppet AU scenario?? Not sure how to tag it haha] 

“Care! Hey, hey! Care--?! Hey! Caretaker! Heeeeeeeeeey!” Julie wails, following behind as you try to ignore her and focus on the task at hand.

No matter how many times you try to address the blonde, she pulls you away from what needs to be done, to what she wants to do. It’s become a bit of an irritating habit, although you’re convinced it’s her hobby, to distract you from your job so you can entertain her grabs for attention.

“Not now Julie, I have a lot of work to do, but I promise I’ll do whatever it is you’re wanting once I’ve got more time—”

“No, I need you now. The new dress I had ordered still hasn’t arrived and I—”

You drone out her increasing insistence, beginning to pick up the pace as you swerved through the crowd of studio employees and other puppets. Unfortunately, the moment the others sight you, the choir of:

“Hey Care—”

“--need you here—”

“Can you fix—”

“Get me some—”

You stop in your tracks, feeling Julie bump into you from behind. With your binder tucked close to your chest, your hands tighten around it. The overwhelming demands from the maintenance team, stagehands, cameramen, and puppets made you fume. It was obvious from your face how feelings of annoyance had now turned into full-blown anger. You tried steadying your breath, feeling the heat prickle at your cheeks, and reminding yourself to remain professional, you need this job, it pays the bills… it pays the bills…it pays the bills….

“Hold on!” You boom, causing the voices to settle. You stand your ground, steeling yourself as you take a breath. “I am extremely busy right now—” You strain, each word slow, with brows furrowed and jaw tight. “Sooo-- I’d appreciate it if you all stop pestering me for a moment, because if I hear one more per—”

“Hey, Care?” Barnaby interjects, poking his head out of the restroom door.

Your mouth shuts, head snapping around to look at him. “What?!”

“I clogged the toilet,” Barnaby responds monotonously, thumb pointing toward inside the restroom, as water slowly began trickling its way outside.

The grip around your binder tightens even more to the point you felt like you could have ripped it in half. Your eyes narrow into a glare, tight lips twitching up into a menacing grin.

“So uh… could you fix it?” Barnaby probes, moving away from the slow leak of water pooling around his feet.

“Please excuse me for a moment…” You seethe, quickly and silently moving your way toward one of the audio control rooms, knowing the padded walls would shield your outbursts. Upon arrival, you slammed the binder down onto the script stand, causing it to wobble and tilt over.

That was the last straw.

You bring your arms up, flailing them around as you release your rage. “What the actual [redacted]?! I just need to do one [redacted] thing! One thing! But nooooooo--! I can’t catch a [redacted] break around here! And why the [redacted] would Barnaby clog the toilet?! PUPPETS DON’T EVEN NEED TO USE THE [redacted] TOILET?!”

You heaved, palming your forehead for a second before sliding your hand over your eyes. You took a few deep breaths to soothe yourself until you heard an audible click and the sound designer over the two-way speaker.

“You, uh, okay in there?”

You drop your hand down to your mouth, eyes darting open to see not only the sound designer but a few of the puppets and two other employees who followed you to your location, staring at you from behind the glass.

You stared back.

Julie had arched a brow, crossing her arms over her chest in disapproval.

Wally’s half-lidded, unwavering, eyes peered at you. “Those are some naughty words there...” He commented, his voice crackling a bit through the speaker. Though, reading his expression you could tell he was a bit amused.

“Yes dear, you really should watch your language.” Poppy chimes, as everyone else in the sound room nods in agreement.

Standing there for a moment longer, you finally gave up. Picking up your binder and setting the script stand back up in place, you walk through the door into the sound room, staying silent as Barnaby stepped toward you with a plunger in hand.

“I found this if it’ll help with the toilet—”

You didn’t say anything as you walked past him, only extending a hand, and swiping the plunger from his grasp. You moved on through the exit.

[BONUS]

Barnaby and Wally both stood outside the restroom door, peering in and watching as you muttered curses under your breath and violently plunged the toilet to unclog whatever ungodly thing Barnaby stuffed in there.

Wally: “So, uh, Barnaby?”

Barnaby: “Yeah lil’ buddy?”

Wally: “What did you put in there?”

Barnaby: “Just a bunch of leftover doughnuts from the spread table.”

Wally: “…Why?”

Barnaby, shrugging: “Wanted to see what would happen…”

Amanda... I miss her.

But I don't trust a single person to write her other than Ostrander/Yale. Like I don't trust them to do it right. Because like it's easy to write her being shady and manipulative and involved in secret government conspiracies. That's what she does. But it feels so hollow once you've seen her character in the way Ostrander describes it. Like she is a woman who is desperate and trying to do what she thinks is right. She has found a place of power (as a fat Black woman in the 1980s) and is doing anything she can to fight and hold onto it as powerful and ambitious men try and steal it from her. So she doubles down. She doubles down on the shady deals and the broken promises and the violence and she destroys her enemies, and loses a part of her soul in the process. And then some other ambitious politician rises up and the process repeats itself over and over and over again as each time she loses more of her morality and more of her soul and more of the respect her colleagues had for her. In place of that she gains more power, she gains fear, and an even more badass reputation. Until by the end of the book the villains begin to understand/sympathize with her more than the heroes ever will. Like THAT is who Amanda Waller is. It may happen subtly, it may happen over a longer period of time but that descent is a critical part of her character! She is a tragic character! And I feel like every perception of Suicide Squad I've seen outside of the original has her as this static villainous snapshot which is just untrue to her core imo. Like she is not a hero. But she is also not JUST a villain. She is a highly flawed character who is always descending farther and farther into villainy as she is led there by what she believes is right.
