Wir haben jetzt herausgefunden, warum Blake Edward's Ausflug ins Gruselthriller-Genre namens Experiment in Terror bei angemessener Verschrobenheit, schicker Bildgestaltung und fast noch sturer verwendetem Hauskomponisten trotzdem nicht wie ein Hitchcock funktioniert: Die Ermittler arbeiten einfach zu seriös und erfolgreich.

Test Print

This experiment consists of further developing the ideas of how the packaging itself would look with all the designs that I had previously experimented with. The design that stands out the most for me of all of them is from the first photo, it is that it is the flower that I had created in the stencil and the box that has the design of a petal with triangles in the corners of the design works quite well with the pattern created. Likewise, I was also playing with the type of font that I had chosen, which were 3, some of them were bold, another was a final typeface and the other typefaces were similar but the thickness of the font was changed, you were a little thicker than the previous one. For the brand name, I wasn’t sure I only wanted the first letters in upper case but after experimenting I think it looks better if the brand name is more upper case as it makes it easier to read.

On the other hand, I found a problem after printing in the ingredients and nutrition section, they are read backwards, so it is something that I have to take into account for my next print Another mistake that I made was that the text does not have to be very glued to square and center all squares or stickers in the center of the template.

Experimeting with colors; I really liked how it turned out

*dear June, we are sending you a old experiment who we need awnsers from. Its name is experiment 1005, aka Type and Talk Tommy. Please question it as it will only speak to individuals it seems to trust.*

signed the innovation wing staff

Experiment 1005? June checked her clipboard as she made her way to meet with it. Type Talk Tommy, huh? June will have to check that out. June made her way to the room where the experiment was kept, she offered a smile, as she always did whenever she interacted with any other experimet or the children. "Hey there, I'm June Ludwig, but you can call me June, I'll be working with you for a while."

I find it funny how DPxDC fandom has replaced the early 2000s "Danny&Dick are siblings/twins" trope with "Danny&Damian are siblings/twins."

But I also wanted to try and figure out why it happened.

The main reason why Damian wasn't originally even considered as posibile relative for Danny is quite simple: Damian literally didn't exist until September 2006; a month before DP season 3 started airing.

Sure, the concept of Talia and Bruce having a son is much older. Kingdom Come from 1996 is probably being the best known example of this and I'm pretty sure there is even older comic where Talia has miscarriage. Plus, when have the fandoms cared about canon relationships when coming up reasons to make two characters related?

But in the early days there was another reason keeping Danny from becoming related to Bruce:

A little show known as Teen Titans.

Teen Titans cartoon originally aired from 2003-2006. This meant that when Danny Phantom started airing in May 2004, it was only natural that the fandoms of these two superhero teen cartoons would overlap.

Teen Titans was also very strong on the "found family" trope. The show had also already shown that the Titans were more than willing to take in additional members (Terra, Januarry 2004) so adding Danny in the team as a new member of the team was an easy base for a crossover. However, even back then, Phandom was just angst and gore loving as it is today so a lot of fic writers wanted a tool to ensure that the freshly traumatized Danny had a reason to trust and stay with group of strangers. And making Danny Robin's brother or twin was a perfect trick for that.

(Plus if you have two shows, with overlapping fandoms, that have characters with even slightly similar traits... You bet that someone in the fandom is going to make them related.)

So that was Teen Titans era... What next?

Well first we had "The Batman" cartoon which was allowed to add Robin in its 4th season thanks to Teen Titans ending (Bat-embargo). I don't really remember there being any bigger crossovers with Danny Phantom, but it did keep the idea of "Dick Grayson is Robin in cartoons" idea living.

2010, we got Young Justice. And once again Dick Grayson is the Robin.

If I remember correctly, Danny&Dick are sibling fics were still a thing back then, probably thanks to TTxDP fandom being still fairly active in FF.net. And of course a lot of these people would be influenced by, or move to, YJ fandom. Heck... I personally was introduced to YJ thanks to its influence and characters bleeding to TTxDP fics.

But YJ had something TT didn't: the Justice League and mentors. The Team being a "training school" for young heroes gave the show multiple reason for Danny to stay around, no matter the backstory. Danny could still be Dick's long lost brother. Or like Connor, he could be a laboratory experimet with no other place to go. Or perhaps, the League had found him solo-heroing like they did with Artemis and now wanted to train him.

So yeah, the Dick&Danny are sibling trope was still alive but slowly losing it's popularity. Early 2010s was also the time when people started to move from FF.net to AO3 and some fandoms and tropes just... didn't seem to survive the move as well as the others.

But the question still remains.

Why and how Damian replaced Dick as Danny's sibling?

And to answer to this question, we need to narrow down when it happened.

Though Damian had made several animated cameos over the years, his first big role as animated Robin started in 2014 thanks to the DC Animated Universe films (Son of Batman ->). When it came to Dick, he aged naturally into his Nightwing identity and ended his 10 year career as the main animated Robin.

So surely; this was the turning point that started it all?

Well... It turned out... that the answer to that is no.

Let me show you AO3's "Danny and Dick/Damian are siblings" tags

Damian didn't appear in Danny Phantom fandom tags until 2015; a whole year after his movie debut. And even after that, it took almost 7 whole years for "Danny and Damian are siblings" tag to appear.

(Sure, the "Danny Fenton and Dick-or-Damian are siblings" excludes a lot of potential fics (including the oldest ones), but it seemed to be the parent tag and gives a good idea of how this trend has evolved.)

Heck! Damian Wayne is tagged in Danny Phantom fics only 24 times by the end of the 2021! I knew Phandom is going through its "DC renaissance" but with his ever growing role in animated media, I still assumed Damian to be more commonly used character.

So the new question is: what the heck happened in 2022?

All animated and video game appereances I can find for Damian are from before 2020s. Sure, shows like Harley Quinn continued after that but I don't think that is the reason for Damian's sudden popularity.

So I decided to dig a little bit deeper.

In AO3, the first time I could see a fic with Damian and Danny as siblings is January 2022. The parent tag "Danny Fenton and Damian Wayne are Siblings" appears later the same month.

Before August, the tag has been used 3 times.

Then 22 times in the remaining 5 months.

And when I looked into those 22 fics, "What happened in 2022" turned out to be a completelly wrong question.

What I should have asked was WHO happened.

Because out of those 22 fics written between August adn December 2022... 14 were written by a single author.

I'm not going to name them in case this post causes unwanted traffic for them. Plus they might just be the one popularising the tag but not the trope itself. However, I have read some of their fics before this little project and they are a good writer. So no surprise if they managed to inspire other people to use this idea more often.

I also know I am probably missing something. The previously mentioned DCxDP renaissance was already started/starting back then. Of course it made people to make up a biological connection between Danny and Bat-family member with similar-ish age. It is the same logic that early 2000s fandom used to connect Danny to Robin the first time.

But if you just look at AO3 statistics... It creates an image of a trope being created by handful of fics and less authors than I have fingers to count.

And that is definitely one of the main reasons I love internet fandoms.

Have you seen someone with a red vile? Is that how write that word- I was experimeting with different things at Pomefiore. It's extremely dangerous and I need to make sure no one uses it. It could blow up at least 2 classrooms and causes a lot of structural damage if placed near a foundation.

...

Do you hear screaming-?

oh dear.... i think i saw Katherine have something like that, she said she was going to 'explode' Crowley-

*mixes of laughter and Crowleys screams of fear were heard*

....

yeah she definitely has it...
