#I love the thought of Danny just being the caretaker of a bunch of scary looking curse ferrets

The Most Chaotic Animal to Exist: Ferrets

So, you've seen that one post about how Danny becomes the Ancient of The Void, and it's a ferret? And the reblog of him becoming friends with Space, and it's another ferret?

What if... What if there were other powerful ideas or things or whatever that were also ferrets?

Like, you know how Clockwork is the Master of Time?

What if Time was a ferret? Or MULTIPLE ferrets??? Past, Present, and Future anyone??? Or maybe one for each dimension? Or one that has the ability to duplicate???? Or maybe each thing that represents time is given a ferret: one for a clock, another for a calendar, a sun dial, stopwatches, timers-

Dreams. Each dream is a ferret. Nocturn just loves his ferrets. Or maybe it's sleep in general that's a ferret and dreams are just food for it. AND THAT'S WHY NOBODY REMEMBERS ALL THEIR DREAMS. Scientists say that people have like- 4 dreams on average in 8 hours (might've butchered that, it's been a while since I heard that bit. but it's multiple dreams nonetheless... Fever dreams are starting to make a lot of sense now...)

You know what else would be an Ancient? Luck. Like- Lady Luck. It would be funny if she was just the guardian of a bunch of gold ducks, but it would also be pretty cute if the embodiment of Luck is a ferret.

What else could be an Ancient? Idk.

But I'm thinking that this would follow the headcanon about Ancients being a Concept given existence. The Living thought them up and believed enough, but the concept or base element of it all was always there.

Then when you think about DC with deities, it all makes sense. They need belief for power and they can interact with the living realm because their believes thought they could.

On the other hand, Ancients are old concepts that been there basically forever since time in different dimensions isn't linear. They gain power just from the belief that what they're based on exists, meaning, their power is based on their assigned ferret.

City Spirits- Lady Gotham. Curses! MAGIC!!!

What if magic was a ferret too???

What if each curse residing in Gotham became ferret coded???

What if Danny becomes a shepherd but for ferrets?!

And do you know what people who can herd ferrets are called?

Business.

He's a literal business. Oh my god-

Is this a way he can survive in Gotham?!

Hi! I'm someone who's open to both - having bio kids and adopting. Haven't had thought of it in a while but now that I thought about it... I'd like to adopt at least one kid. And have bio kids. But one thing in my head is that as an eldest daughter I'd never want my eldest kid (be it bio or adopted) to be the third parent to their siblings. I'd experienced that enough, it is NOT a pleasant experience.

Going back, idk if it's just me or there are some really toxic creators on tiktok and insta on both sides of the spectrum. On one end you have the Dougherty dozen and their mom who had once famously exposed all the medications their kids (11 now, used to be 12) take, and often overbuy processed stuff.

Then on the other end is Leah and Caitlin. They underwent IVF so Leah carried their child made with Caitlin's egg, and Caitlin carried their child with Leah's egg.

Again, extreme examples. But in my head, cautionary tales. You have other families - Justthebells who are a tiny bit better than the dozen, Eric Vaughn Trainor and his husband who did what you mentioned with the IVF, and Julie and Camila Lorentzen who struggled with IVF and were VERY transparent about the costs and stuff.

And then there's the child exploiters like mattandabby, della vlogs (one of the worst), the beeston bunch... You can see how some people treat their bio AND adopted kids (and exploit them for clout). And you ask yourself if this is all even real or worth it.

Oh, and the influx of creators getting pregnant is... A bit strange to me. Like... I cannot tell you how many creators on my feed are now happily expecting and I'm like:.. Was there a creator summit about this.

Anyway, to end this long-winded thing: having kids, bio or adopted, is scary. And I hope that people will keep in mind that kids are kids, not toys to be exploited on the interwebs.

happening to have bio kids and being anti-adoption are two totally different things! i’m totally fine with people giving birth i’m not an anti-natalist 💀 i just think openly saying that you would never love an adopted child as much as a bio child is insane and it makes me really sad. i personally would never want to have bio kids because i would want to take that opportunity to give a loving home to a child that was already deprived of that for too long, but you’re totally right it’s all about choice and perspective!

i totally agree with the oldest child thing. i think it not only is unfair to the child that has to do the caretaking, but it’s also impossible to form a normal sibling relationship when there’s a mother/child dynamic or such a large age gap. my oldest sister is seven years older than me and although she never had to go through that, we have such a hard time connecting due to the difference in our ages and it sometimes seems like she’s a much older adult compared to me.

i’ve also noticed the influx of creators having kids rn 😭 i’m huge danny gonzalez and cody ko fans and it was so random that they both became parents so close to one another. but i’m so glad they’re keeping their kids separate from their online lives because it’s so often that parents exploit their kids who can’t consent to being on the internet and will have to deal with the consequences as they grow older.

overall, that post was just about people that NEED to have a biological child and consider adopted parents to not be real parents as well as my own perspective on the subject. thank you for chiming in!
