#I still need to write this crossover

[frownyalfred]

Homelander from the Boys shows up in the DC universe for all of five minutes and Bruce turns to Clark, ignoring the ongoing ranting from Homelander, and says “This is why I have contingencies.”

Clark, gritting his teeth: “Yeah, I see that now.”

Homelander in the corner: “—going to kill each and EVERY one of you fuckers, you degenerate—”

Bruce: “Are you going to go take care of that?”

Clark, head dropping into his hands: “Yeah. Give me a minute.”

Unpleasant Revelations - DPxDC Ficlet Idea for the Stillborn Au

"Have you met my youngest, Damian, Mr. Masters?"

Its only from twenty years of long, hard experience and practice that Vlad doesn't increase the room temperature from 'borderline uncomfortably cool' to 'unbearably hot' the moment Bruce Wayne pulls his youngest and "only" biological son out in front of him.

He puts only in quotations because twelve year old Damian Wayne looks scarily, uncannily like one Daniel Brown. Jack and Maddie's foster son, second victim of their foolishness, and only other halfa in existence. Second only to him.

It's nauseating how similar they look. From the scowl and terrible glare on the young boy's face, to his brown skin -- which was only a few shades lighter than Daniel's, the shape of his nose, and even the strange winged edge of his eyebrow. Something that Vlad has long since come to find endearing on the child he considered a son of his own. The only difference was that Damian had dark, sharp green eyes.

Daniel's eyes were blue. The same glacier shade as his father's, who stood behind Damian with a proud, oafish smile on his visage.

It was infuriating how similar they look. Vlad might not have rapidly swung the room temperature from one extreme to the other, but he can't stop himself from letting the fury burning within his core from slipping out and raising the temperature up a few degrees.

Because it really only meant one thing.

Damian Wayne and Daniel Brown were related.

Damian Wayne and Daniel Brown were brothers.

Standing in front of him, it was clear as day. He can already picture a phantom image of Daniel standing beside Damian, the same scowl written on his face, the same glare carved into his eyes. The only difference being the dark, exhausted circles beneath them that seemed to be permanently painted onto his skin. The only thing missing being the permanent loneliness and vigilance permeating his being like a scar.

This, if revealed, would be enough to ruin Bruce Wayne's reputation. Or, at the very least, darken it quite a bit. The great philanthropist Bruce Wayne with another secret blood child? One related to his youngest? One that had been put into foster care? Seemingly thrown away?

It would be a firestorm.

One that Vlad is not keen on starting.

It would ruin Bruce Wayne's reputation, yes. But it would hurt Daniel in the process -- the harassment he would face alone might just be enough to break that fragile child completely. That was just not something he could allow. Or, even worse, bring him into his biological father's care and custody -- something Vlad was even less willing to allow.

It's not out of kindness to Wayne that Vlad will keep mum about this.

His grip on his champagne flute tightens, just a bit. He's still aware enough of the world around him to not let it shatter in his hands. His plastered, pleasant smile tightens around the corners, and he forces his focus to slide from Damian to Wayne.

"The resemblance is uncanny, Mister Wayne." He says, slanting his smile to the side slyly. Although he's not talking about the resemblance between Wayne and his son. Rage simmers beneath his skin, burning coal and embers in the core of his chest, nestled between his lungs, as he meets the man's eyes.

Wayne swaggles his head proudly, his ditzy smile widening as he squeezes his son's shoulder affectionately. Bastard, Vlad wants to spit.

He breathes in through his nose, and exhales out through his mouth. The champagne in his hand cools, and stops its unusual bubbling.

The Damian boy scoffs under his breath, his mouth still coiled upward into a scowl. With the revelation of his blood relation to Daniel evident, Vlad's not sure if he should find it endearing or not.

He is not Daniel, so he decides that it's just simply irritating. He decides to ignore it.

"And you said he was your only biological son?" He asks, voice lilting and head tilting. He knows its a suspicious question at worst, insulting at best. But considering Wayne's past proclivities, he can hardly call it an unexpected question.

Damian puffs in great offense, face twisting angrily. It reminds him of Daniel when Vlad insisted that he was wrong about something or other, and for a moment his heart swells, fond.

But this is not his child, and so the feeling quickly crashes and burns, simmering back into rage. This was not Daniel -- this was his replacement. A replacement that Wayne was free to keep.

Wayne chuckles, idiotically, as if he'd said some funny joke. Vlad's other hand, the one gripping his cane -- something he's required ever since he was dispatched from the hospital all those lonely years ago -- tightens instead. He grinds his teeth -- him and Jack Fenton would get along like a house on fire, he hates it.

"I can understand why you'd ask that, Mister Masters," Wayne says, squeezing Damian's shoulder again, "but yes, Damian is my only biological son. Although that doesn't mean I don't love my other children any less."

Bastard.

For all his posturing and flouncing about caring for his city and his children, Vlad never would have thought the Prince of Gotham capable of abandoning one of them.

But, well.

They all have their dark secrets.

And what one man throws away, another man picks up. If Bruce Wayne didn't want the treasure child that was Daniel Brown, then Vlad Masters was more than happy to take him instead.

"I see."

Dinner?

Feeling a bit Spirit Halloweenish.

Danny blinked, stared blankly, blinked again before slowly very slowly closed his front door.

A few seconds later Danny opened the door again and once again meet a certain tallish young man, around his age if maybe a few years older, in front of him...

Who was it?

Bruce Wayne....

Bruce freaking Wayne, someone according to what he heard from Sam telling him from what she heard from her parents had apparently just dropped out of med school and was 'in the wind' according to rich elite gossip talks, was at his front door.

........

Why?

Wait... Did he just ask Danny out on a date?

-x-x-

Bruce Wayne has just dropped out of med school and is beginning his training into becoming the person his city needs him to become. While looking into where he can he remembers how in his teen years the planet was almost destroyed but was saved by a ghost teen hero and looks into it. He digs deep to uncover what happened, uncovering impressive firewalls Amity Park has, etc and finds out about Danny Fenton/Phantom.

He decides to go visit the younger man, who is just about to start college himself, and ask a few questions.

He uhhh... Bruce just wasn't expecting to find Danny very cute (even though he was pretty certain Phantom had been his first male crush when he saw a photo of the teen years ago), and adorable with his owlish stare, and well the first words out of his mouth was

"Would you mind joining me for dinner?"

Part 1

Ao3

---

Somewhere else, in a seemingly abandoned building on the outskirts of the city, a figure shrouded in darkness and wearing a dark cloak plots.

In front of them is a whiteboard. It’s covered in pictures, sticky notes, and illegible texts. Some of the notes thrown about that are legible are ‘fight…’, ‘draw blood.’, and ‘DEATH!!!’.

There’s a crude stick figure drawn in the corner of the board, it’s impaled. Other small doodles can also be found all around the board.

Most of the information and pictures are connected by red strings, like you see in movies.

In the middle is a picture of 2 people sitting on a motorcycle, the arms of the person sitting in the back are around the waist of the person sitting in the front. The picture has some arrows pointing towards it and the people in the picture are very obviously circled.

Though the face of the person driving the motorcycle is obscured by their helmet, the other person seems to be heavily blushing and grinning broadly.

“Yes… yes! That’s it! I know what to do…” They seem to be speaking to themselves.

Quickly, the person scribbles down a barely legible ‘sacrifice!!‘.

They start cackling.

“Mwuahaha!”

It’s an evil laugh they’ve been working on for quite a while now, and they’re pretty proud of it.

However, the effect is slightly ruined when a fly enters their mouth, cutting off their cackling with choking as they gasp for air, grasping at their throat.

A few good thumps against their chest, with some coughing out their lungs, helps them dislodge the fly from their throat and they spit it out on the ground. They take a few deep breaths before straightening up again.

“Curse you” the person exclaims, angrily waving their fist at the fly as it flies away.

---

Bruce’s face gives off nothing as he stares at the streets down below. He’s dressed as Batman, crouched at the edge of a building with Damian by his side as Robin. Spoiler, Black Bat, Nightwing, and Red Robin are further back on the rooftop.

They watch in silence as another group of the Joker’s goons passes by. They’ve been all over the city, wandering around, not doing anything obviously illegal.

They don’t stay in one place and they don’t seem to have much of a purpose. No attacks… No stealing… No smuggling or transport of goods… No, instead they’re inspecting every single inch of the city.

They don’t seem to have any weapons on them. All they’re carrying on them are some flashlights. While most don’t give anything away with their body language or expressions, some seem to give off a bit of anxious energy.

Spoiler claimed she even saw some of them climb down into the sewers earlier and then climbing out again sometime later somewhere else, but this time ‘dejected and stinky’.

One thing seems clear to the Bats.

They’re searching for something… or someone.

“This basically confirms that not even the Joker’s henchmen know where he is. He’s missing.”

“I’m not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing”

“Good… thing?”

“It’s… something. That’s for sure.”

“We don’t know if he’s really missing. For all we know it could be a trap. What if the Joker is hiding, pretending to be missing to have us bring our guard down? Besides, how could he be missing? He’s the Joker. No one’s just gonna kidnap him”

“For all we know he could be lying dead in a ditch somewhere”

“I highly doubt that”

“Everyone, focus” Bruce speaks up, having them draw their attention to him.

“It’s unclear whether the Joker is simply hiding away or missing. Instead of focusing on the why, we need to focus on the where. Missing or not, we need to find him and get him back to Arkham. Oracle, have you managed to find out anything from the footage yet?”

“Nope, still nothing. All the files from the moment he enters Crime Alley are wiped and any attempt at recovering them only brings back corrupted files.”

 “We need Red Hood. Where is he?” Bruce asks.

“He still has his phone on silent and he has removed the trackers and cams. We haven’t placed any new ones on him yet”

“Let’s visit him on his turf then. And keep an eye out for anything suspicious in the meantime. Oracle, try recovering the missing files. If that doesn’t work, go back to the breakout footage. Perhaps he left some kind of clues about his plans or whereabouts behind there.” Bruce states.

“Roger that.”

---

Red Hood has his arms by his sides as he gazes down upon the street below from the rooftop of a random apartment building in Crime Alley.

He’s lucky to have avoided the Bats so far. But he doubts his luck will last for long.

Red Hood stiffens as he suddenly feels something clamp down on his arm. As a reflex, his other hand has already drawn his gun.

He slowly raises the arm he felt something clamp down on and looks at it, only to make eye contact with a girl with black hair and blue eyes who has sunk her teeth into his arm and is now hanging off of it.

The teeth are sharp, as the girl seems to have some small fangs. They’ve gone through his jacket and sunken into his skin.

It doesn’t really hurt all that badly though, probably hasn’t even drawn much blood, and that’s one of the only reasons Jason hasn’t flung the kid off of him yet. Another reason is the fact that it’s a kid.

They both stare at each other for several seconds.

As Jason takes her appearance in, he notices that she seems rather familiar. In fact, she looks like a more feminine version of Danny, or if Danny had a twin.

The person hanging off of his arm looks younger than Danny though, probably a teenager around 13 or 14, if he had to make a guess.

Slowly, he puts his gun away and takes out his phone with his other hand, watching the random girl’s eyes follow his movements. He raises it level with her face and snaps a picture, quickly sending it to Danny and ignoring the girl’s curious gaze while she’s still hanging onto his arm by her fucking teeth.

---

Meanwhile, Danny checks his phone to see Red Hood sent him a message. He opens it and is greeted by a picture of Ellie in human form biting down on Red Hood’s arm with the caption ‘this yours???’

[gdn7-dollopole]

I cannot stop thinking about the comparison between BBC Merlin and Smallville.

As the directors of BBC Merlin have said, an inspiration has been taken from the ten long seasons of Smallville, an US TV show I always loved, and literally grew up with, and since a few months back, I also made a re-watch of Smallville, I can’t stop thinking about the potential BBC Merlin could have had, if it actually followed some bits of the storyline of Smallville.

We can already see some of the similarities between the shows:

Merlin wears a red neckerchief with a blue tunic and viceversa, like Clark Kent, and whenever he’s hopeless or sad or angry, he wears worn out grey colours, and as an avid fan of Smallville, I can assure you that Clark Kent wears the same things;

Clark Kent has to hide his powers in a world that would hurt him, kill him, or experiment on him, if he let on his deepest secret, and for that, he not only loses the people he cares about the most, much like Merlin does, which are his father, his friends, his lovers, and almost even his mother, but forbids himself to fall in love, and therefore pursue any kind of relationship;

he’s witty, yes, like Merlin, but also shy and brave and lonely.

But the difference between Smallville and Merlin is that in Smallville, there is the closure I would have liked to see in Merlin:

Clark kent does hide his secrets, and he is good at it, until everyone else finds out about him, all on their own.

We’re talking about everyone (maybe because Clark/Merlin are not as sly as they think):

Lex and Lionel and Luthessa Luthor, Lana Leng, Chloe Sullivan, Pete Ross, Oliver Queen and so many others, either because they already had their suspicions or because someone else showed them.

And this brings the right amount of angst in the show, mixed with the betrayal and the lies and the secrets and the love triangles and the tropes that come out of them.

But where is Arthur in this picture?

Oh, this is the good bit.

For very obvious reasons, apart from the fact that he doesn’t talk as much as her, Arthur is definitely Lois Lane.

FROM THIS MOMENT ON, SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN’T WATCHED SMALLVILLE:

Lois Lane makes her appearance as a main character in the later seasons, after Clark understands that he has officially lost Lana, and starts working at the Daily Planet, in the same office as Lois.

But, unlike Arthur, Lois loves Superman (or The Blur, as he’s called for the entire ten seasons of Smallville, because he’s always caught on camera, but just as a blur). She talks to him in secret, and Clark masks his voice through the phone, he helps her and she helps him, he saves her innumerable times (does this remind you of anything?), and each time Lois compliments The Blur, Clark gets angry, because it’s his alter ego who gets the praise for a job well done, and not him, the clumsy idiot of the Daily Planet, much like everyone else in Merlin’s life has always got the credit for saving Arthur’s life, instead of him.

But what they should have given us in Merlin is what they gave us in Smallville, and it would have honestly made for the biggest magic reveal:

once Clark needs to fend off another enemy of the year, and thinks he’s going to officially die, he goes to say goodbye to his friends and his most loved ones, Lois included (“I’m happy to be your servant, until the day I die”).

Although, unlike in Merlin, where Arthur is a sweet himbo, who doesn’t inspect, and who doesn’t suspect anything, Lois had her suspicions, given that she and Clark had not only started falling in love, but now worked together too, and since she cared a whole lot about him, she follows Clark.

In the Smallville TV show, Lois hides behind a building from where, minutes later, Clark falls from. Lois believes he’s dead (Clark is immortal, and this begs the questions again: does he remind you of anyone?), and notices that he’s been stabbed in the chest with a blue crystal (context: the blue kryptonite removes Clark’s powers, and renders him human, and therefore mortal, unless the kryptonite, much like the green one, gets away from him). Following her guts, and sad and desperate that the man she loves the most might die, and believing in her suspicions and instinct, Lois pulls the crystal from Clark’s body, but the moment she hears some clutter, probably thinking they’re the enemies, she runs away, and goes back hiding.

And there, she sees him.

Clark grunts, gets up, completely safe ad healthy, sees that the crystal may have fallen by itself, or simply disappeared (and actually asks himself how that could have happened) and runs away:

by using his super fast power.

And Lois sees him.

Now, what could have been perfect was, if Arthur did the same.

After an attack gone wrong in the woods and losing sight of Merlin, he goes searching for the idiot, yelling something very along the lines of, “Where’s that useless buffoon?”, when he’s actually worried sick, and finds Merlin stabbed in the middle of a clearing.

Now, Arthur despises magic. He loathes it, he doesn’t trust it, yet, bless him, he still tries to understand it. This could have happened after Uther’s death, the moment Arthur’s reign begins.

He watches Merlin.

Arthur’s alone and shocked and scared and sick, so he drops to his knees next to him. He does not cry, he does not scream, he does not faint, that’s not really him at the end of the day, right? (Lois is the same. She grew up in a strict household with a strict solider father, and has lost her mother, and she had to be the parent to her older sister… Very, very much like Arthur). Or that’s what he thinks, and out of pure desperation, and something that sounds a bit like love, just like Lois Lane, since Merlin flinches, when he should be dead, for goodness’ sake, and out of instics and probably destiny, Arthur pulls whatever has stabbed Merlin out of his abdomen.

But as soon as he does, and as soon as he hears the knights coming close to him, and not to alarm anyone, and because he does not want them to see him in this sort of shocked state, Arthur hides behind a tree.

And there, he watches as Merlin, half dead and half alive, calls for Kilgharrah.

And Arthur has the same reaction of the finale.

He does not act on what he just discoveres.

At first, he’s sceptical, once Merlin comes back like he always does (and now he knows why and how), so he avoids him, he makes awful jokes, or hints about magic and about how powerful and dangerous it can be.

But once he’s sort of gone over this phase, noticing that Merlin hasn’t done anything with his big powers, like showing him off or anything of the likes (because Arthur has always known, magic or not, that Merlin would have never hurt him or Camelot), Arthur becomes… Curious.

And here comes the part that aligns with Smallville (we can also add the sexuality/gender identity/coming out metaphor):

much like in Smallville, and with magic and superpowers, and like in real life, someone does not force this information out of people, but Arthur, like Lois, is dying of curiosity, and just wants Merlin/Clark to trust him/her and tell him/her his secret, because he/she already knows of it.

So Arthur starts doing what Lois did.

The day after everything is well, and Lois now certainly knows about Clark’s superpowers, and the fact that he is The Blur, she goes to work, until Clark arrives too, and tells her that he must be quick for something, and needs some documents for a research. Lois stalls, and pretends she’s being SUDDENLY clumsy and a bit of an idiot (this would go perfectly well with Arthur, because he is an idiot, and he is also smitten with Merlin), and let her pen fall under the desk, to see what Clark would do.

And he uses his powers.

So imagine a wild Arthur in his natural habitat (his chambers), bored like no one else, and on the verge of imploding, because his manservant and best friend and love of his life he’s being stubborn and an oaf and an idiot and a toad.

He lets the apples or the sword or the belt fall under the table, pretends he’s keen to an act of kindness, and picks up the items himself, instead of letting Merlin do it, while he instructs said servant to do something else in the meantime.

Shocked at first, but following through with the orders, Merlin does as he’s being told, after throwing several sceptical looks at his prat of a king, and as soon as Arthur gets up from his crouched down position on the floor, the bed is already done, and the clothes are already folded, and Arthur goes mad, because, oh, he was right, and what else can Merlin do?

The curiosity gets him as much as his developing feelings for the cretin, with apparently super magical powers, who could also break a neck with a flick of his eyes, if he wanted to, and Arthur starts pretending to be even more of an idiot to see more magic, without Merlin knowing that he’s actually showing Arthur his abilities.

And the best part of it all?

The magic reveal.

I love Smallville, because the way Clark confesses his secret to Lois isn’t anything grand or majestic.

Yes, Clark does take Lois flying; yes, he also shags the living brains out of her, IN THEIR FARMS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE (I must do this again but, does this remind you of ANYONE/ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR?), but he’s just built and hot and intelligent, but also very, very shy and a bit silly.

That’s why I love Clark the most as the best version of Superman, and Merlin as the best version of the famous wizard.

So Clark calls Lois to meet him in one of the Daily Planets departments, where documents and papers are stashed and kept there, on the last floor of the building, and where no one ever goes, and he fidgets a bit with his fingers, and he stammers a lot, and Lois is about to lose it, because still, after all these years, and our love? And how can Clark not tell me? Does he not trust me? Does he not want me like I want him? And all these emotions are well encompassed on her face, because Clark fails to tell her, and he says that he’s sorry, he can’t lose her, he can’t take that risk, he has lost so many loved ones already, and what does Lois do?

She understands, because she loves Clark, and she does not want to force him.

She gulps her tears, she miles brokenly, she nods, she tells Clark that it’s fine, but when she’s about to turn on the elevator, Clark realises that the love of his life is about to slip away from his fingers, and just blurts his secret out like a bloody moron.

Much like Merlin would do.

“I’m The Blur.”, he says, and Lois smiles, she turns around, and she runs to him, and literally jumps him, until they both fall back together, and laugh and stutter out their words and yes… They end up snogging.

Now, I want you to imagine a wild Arthur standing on one of the towers or balconies in the Camelot castle, while Merlin is being the usual insecure, oblivious man Arthur’s known for over ten years, and he turns around at the confession, and he runs to Merlin, and he pulls him to him, and while in this version, Arthur gives Merlin a concussion, as he hits the stone floor (because they are romantic, but also more stupid than Lois and Clark, since they’re, you know, a bloody gay disaster), he snogs the shit out of him too, and they start working together, and getting rid of the enemies together, and form a bond that is even deeper than the one they had before already, and Arthur meets Hunith’s mother as someone else entirely, while the chaos ensue, and so do the messy feelings:

like it happened in Smallville, but did not, because Lord forbid the gays, happened in BBC Merlin.

The knights of The Round table are the other DC superheros, and Guinevere could either be a superhero of her own or the wise and smart counsellor, who would be the journalist in Smallville, and Morgana is still Arthur’ sister, good or evil, it does not matter (she could either be after Merlin or after him, the options are innumerable).

Morgana is basically the obnoxious sister Lois’ has always had, who even gets a fake crush on Clark/Merlin to manipulate the two (these TV shows are too similar, I swear).

But I’m not done.

Oh, no, I’m not.

Because imagine all of this, imagine Smallville, but as a literal crossover with Merlin:

a fanfic where Merlin is the apparent imbecile employee at the Daily Planet, who actually has so many super powers, and he’s invincible, and his boss is Arthur Prat Pendragon, who is sceptical of superheroes, and his father Uther haunts them down, and is the owner of said Daily Planet, and loathes Merlin, because he talks about superheroes in his newspapers, and about his dad, because sodding fucking hell, he could control dragons.

Imagine the mess as these two fall in love, even if Merlin thinks he hates the rich, twat boss, whose order he has to follow, while Arthur treats him like a servant, rather than a journalist; Gwen could be either Chloe or Lana Leng, the best friend or the past lover, and Lancelot becomes Guinevere’s Jimmy or Oliver Queen, and Pete Ross is Will for Merlin, and Uther, is still the mad man they have to defy.

Merlin could have had so much potential, and a plethora of ways to have the magic reveal happen, and yet it was not used, and yes, if you didn’t notice, I’m still so mad over it.

I cannot fathom the amount of happiness I would have felt if they actually merged two of my favourite TV shows ever together, a good crossover between Smallville and the Arthuriana, in this case, BBC Merlin in particular.

[jessicas-pi]

it has occurred to me that it is truly preposterous that I, the Maker Of A Ridiculous Number Of AUs, have never yet played that ask game that's like "send me an ask with a character pairing and an AU and I'll write 3 sentences"

anyway, send me an ask with a character pairing (or just some characters) and an AU and I'll write probably way more than 3 sentences

[headfullof-ideas]

Accidentally deleted this trying to deal with the two reblogs of my last post that i accidentally did trying to reblog it to a community, so here we go again. These out of context doodles are a little different, they were more practice for angles. The first one I’m not too happy with, but i guess that’s what practice is for. Most of these are for scenes that haven’t been written, or haven’t even been outlined yet. The one with Ardyn and Kari and the spear-arrow thing im not even sure will make the Final Cut, though I hope i can fit it in because the fight it’s part of would be really fun to write, especially since it involves a lot of development between Ardyn and Kari

tagged by @seasidesandstarscapes thankyousomuch!!

Post the last lines of what you're working on! (or something like that)

next chapter of Undo Me:

Chuck nods slowly, "So hospitals aren't your kind of place."   Bobby's laugh is dry, and he shakes his head. "I've happily avoided them for a very long time." "So...why'd you go today?" He juts his chin with a knowing look, like he's already tossed the answer to Bobby and is just waiting for him to hand it back.  "I needed to be there just in case. I'd be there all night. If I could." Bobby's voice slides lower, softer. "I can't do things like that, Chuck."

aaaand just for fun and bc of the darling who tagged me and helped inspire it, a snippet of my crossover piece that we'll call "papes" for now. I plan to get to it once my chaptered piece is done!!

"Alright, Donnie. I'll get my papers and then we can get going" Don nods, still silent, and Bobby watches him sidelong as he turns away to get his stack of papers for the day. "You can talk, right?" He asks when he returns with his stack, beckoning him out down the road to his normal selling spot. Don grimaces, long legs keeping up easily with Bobby.

【KagePro】 KuroEne AU: Art Ideas 🖤💙

Made this list of KuroEne art ideas so I wouldn't forget. I find it easier to remember my art ideas if I write them down, so here you go ^^

I wrote a summary compilation of most of my art ideas for them since April. I haven't gotten the chance to draw a lot of these yet, but I want to eventually...

I marked KuroEne AU scenarios that I wrote as apart of my KuroEne AU. The others are art ideas

HaruTaka and KonoEne are mentioned in this, but it's mainly about my KuroEne AU

(CW: Sexually suggestive mentions for a few of these)

KuroEne AU (Canon-verse)

KuroEne AU: Mary and Ene team up against Kuroha

One of my biggest KuroEne AU Routes is a Route where Kuroha/Saeru possesses Konoha's body before the others can meet him, pretends to be an Eye Ability User (because he's in possession of Awakening Eyes), and joins the Mekakushi Dan.

He pretends to be everyone's friend while working towards his goals to kill everyone at the end, and have Mary rewind the world for the sake of his own immortality.

After killing off the rest of the MekaDan members on August 15th, Mary and Ene are the only ones left at the end, and decide to team up against him and sneak into his base (underground laboratory) to have their final confrontation with him.

Ene asks Kuroha for answers on everything she's wanted to know (his true motives to make Mary rewind the world, why he's doing all of this, why he played the game with her and made her body, etc.)

Since it's the end (grand finale), Kuroha sates her curiosity and answers her questions, and tells her his motives.

I think my KuroEne AU name, "Last Dance at World's End" is fitting. They'll give into their longing/yearning and passion for each other, one last time, before the world resets, to provide some form of closure for them.

There’s SO many scenes from my KuroEne AU that I wanna draw… I wrote them down as dialogue scripts so they’re still WIPs for now. I haven't gotten the chance to post the dialogue scripts for this Route yet. Just wait until I get the chance to draw some of them 🖤💙

KuroEne AU: Kuroha spites Shintaro and Seto for trying to use Stealing Eyes on him

KuroEne AU Route where Kuroha pretends to join the Mekakushi Dan.

Shintaro gets suspicious of Kuroha and asks Seto to use Stealing Eyes to read his thoughts to find out what he's really up to.

Kuroha senses them approach him (by sniffing their scents in the air) and spites them by thinking about his intimacy with Ene instead

(Or if he's feeling nice, he can just think about making improvements to Ene's android body's battery)

KuroEne x Higanbana: Sweet Dreams 💐🖤❤️

Kuroha: Have a sweet dream.

Kuroha: I'll see you in the next Route.

クロハ：良い夢を

クロハ：次の「ルート」でまた会いしましょう

Kuroha lies next to Ene on a bed of black and red higanbana.

I imagined the art concept of Kuroha lying next to Ene in a bed of Higanbana.

This flower is also known as Cluster Amaryllis, Red Magic Lily, and also referred to as the Corpse Flower, Hell Flower, and Flower of Death.

Ene has her eyes closed and her arms folded (similar to how Ayano is posed like a corpse in the Additional Memory MV), while Kuroha has a smiling expression (^-^) on his face.

Also maybe he's covered in the blood (of the Mekakushi Dan members) and has it on his hands and face

I wanted to reference the usage of “The next” (次の, Tsugi no) in Outer Science's lyrics, and the scene where Saeru (metaphorically) stands on top of the dead bodies of all the Mekakushi Dan members from previous Routes (as a visual representation), with a snake-eye pupil above him.

“The next, next time this comes around… I’ll still sneer!”

Fade to Black

Kuroha: Do you still love me?

クロハ：まだ…俺のことを愛しているのか？

Kuroha holds Ene with a smirk while the composition is half split with Konoha's body half turning to Kuroha (Black Konoha) on one side, and the half is still Konoha's sleeves (Hasn't turned yet)

KuroEne hold higanbana 🖤❤️💐

KuroEne hold the same sets of higanbana together, while black/red auras drips over their hands.

(Similar to the Kuroha art drawn by Sidu in Kagerou Daze VII where he’s depicted with a black aura that looks similar to the shape of higanbana)

KuroEne: Flower Symbolisms 🖤💙💐

I'm in the process of writing a post on flowers I assigned to KuroEne based on their Flower Symbolisms, specifically their Hanakotoba meanings.

Black Magic Petunia and Himalayan Blue Poppy are Feila's picks for KuroEne 💙🖤

Black Veil

Kuroha drapes a translucent black bridal veil over him and Ene with a smirk. One hand is draping it over them, and the other is caressing her face gently…

Maid Kuroha and Ene 🧹

Kuroha wears a black and white maid outfit, black thigh highs, and spiked black high heels, while he has a bloody mop (maybe it's just red paint instead???) and slips a finger into Ene's thigh highs while he kisses her cheek. Ene's entire face gets all red and she just goes like "WORST MAID EVER!!!" (˶˃~˂˶)

Kuroha teases Ene using Awakening Eyes 🐍

(CW: Sexually suggestive mentions)

Kuroha teases Ene by using Awakening Eyes to have a forked snake's tongue. He presses the tip of his finger to her lips teasingly, then trails a hand up her legs while asking her where she wants it.

Kuroha: Now... Where do you want it? Here?

Kuroha: Or here?

Ene: Anywhere is fine...

クロハ：さぁ～て、どこがいいだろうなぁ～？

クロハ：ここ？それとも…ここ？

エネ：どこでもいいよ…

Kuroha/Saeru Manga Route 2 (MR2) Redesign

Something something, I feel like doing a Kuroha/Saeru MR2 (Manga Route 2) redesign with more influence from Azami's clothes as well as traditional clothes (including Vietnamese and Chinese traditional clothes)

Cuz I fuck with everything on this design EXCEPT for the crop top.

I love the black snake scales on his face, the cute little tufts of hair and black horns, the braid in the back that looks like a scorpion's tail like Judar's, red sclera and red gradient limbs, and the white sash with bloodstains on it.

Also the bottom part of the design is SO confusing to me.

I love how Sayuki draws his MR2 design...

But it looks so boring in the Kagerou Daze manga by Mahiro cuz I'm not a fan of the art style and how undynamic the art is

I really wanna see Sidu draw it since she designed that form

KuroEne as Cats 🐈‍⬛🐈🖤💙

Kuroha

Black Smoke Norwegian Forest Cat or Black Smoke Maine Coon

I imagine him to be a black cat with a gray undercoat and gold eyes.

Black smoke is the name of the coat colour. These cats have a silver undercoat

Black smoke kitties have such a pretty silver undercoat~ Looks so pretty!

Ene

Lilac Tabby Birman or a White Ragdoll

1st Pic: Lilac Tabby Birman 2nd Pic: White Ragdoll

Ene is bunny themed, but if I had to pick a cat for her with a realistic coat colour, it'd be either a Birman or a Ragdoll

I also considered cats with a blue gray fur coat, but I went with these because of the distinctive blue eyes.

But, if I wasn't going for a realistic coat colour, I'd just make her coat light blue, since you can take creative liberties in fanarts.

I made Kuroha a black smoke cat cuz I wanna differentiate my BW themed meow meow mf faves from each other. They're all black cat themed 🐈‍⬛

Basically, I wanted to differentiate him from cat Judar (Magi) lol. Kuronyan would be a black smoke kitty and Junyan would be a black cat 🐈‍⬛

I want him to have pointy ears like this to imitate his MR2 form's small black horns...

They'd look great in aesthetics~ Black and white (or blue) cat~ Kuronyan and Ene-nyan~ 🐈‍⬛🐈🖤💙

9/6 x Daze - HaruTaka, KonoEne, KuroEne

I imagined Daze themed arts of HaruTaka, KonoEne, and KuroEne with them wearing their Daze outfits and reaching out for each other, mimicking each other like a mirror

HaruTaka reaches for each other

It'd be super angsty if, even when Ene reaches for him, Konoha looks confused and doesn't understand why

And if Kuroha's the only one trying to reach for Ene (or vice versa)

Though I think what I mentioned works well for visual contrast reasons

HaruTaka: Haruka and Takane reach for each other (I want to see you 💛💙)

KonoEne: Ene reaches for Konoha (Only one of us truly yearns 💙)

KuroEne: Kuroha reaches for Ene (A selfish, twisted, obsessive love 🖤)

I would draw HaruTaka in KonoEne's silhouettes, just like in the daze MV

I don't see KonoEne as inherently unrequited, but I prefer KuroEne and HaruTaka over KonoEne, personally. They match better and work better together as ship dynamics (and are just more interesting to me)

Though for sure HaruTaka and KonoEne better fit KagePro's canon context and theme-ing. But I always go for what's more interesting to me.

Haruka can match Takane's intensity, and Kuroha can match Ene's intensity. Haruka is the perfect counter to Takane, and Kuroha is the perfect counter to Ene.

I feel like Haruka and Kuroha can actually react better and respond to Takane and Ene (respectively) well and can actually meet her level of intensity imo.

Konoha can't really match Takane and Ene's intensity (imo), at least, not as well as the other two.

I feel like Ene would be disappointed at being seen as only just a friend, and non-exclusive affection, even if he (Konoha) feels something more.

So when Saeru comes into the picture to tempt her into playing the "game" with him, he asks her, "Don't you want someone that can satisfy you better?"

Saeru can meet Ene's competitiveness and be able to make her confront her more honest feelings (since she has an avoidance tendency).

Saeru can give her anything she wants, including the affection she craves. It just comes at the ultimate cost.

KuroEne play with a Chibi version of their S/O

Kuroha plays with a chibi Ene, and Ene plays with a chibi Kuroha.

Skrunkly...

This reminds me I had an art concept in my head for my ships like "Chara plays with a Chibi-fied/baby-fied/baby-turned/skrunkly version of their S/O"

So like normal Konoha/Kuroha plays with a chibi Ene

And then the reverse would be Ene plays with a chibi Konoha/Kuroha

Chibi Saeru would still be a menace to deal with

Chaotic gremlin

"I cause problems on purpose" guy

Kuroha picks chibi Ene up by her jacket and plays with her twintails by twirling them.

This guy is an ass so he'd make teasing comments like "The big bad snake who eats the little bunny~" while jokingly putting her near his mouth as if trying to eat her. Or flicking her face with his snake tongue

Snakes like to flick their owners with their tongues!

Apparently, they do it to inspect information about their surroundings through smell. They can wrap around their owners and massage them gently and poke their tongues to taste the owner affectionately.

Konoha tries to nom Ene out of curiosity, but Kuroha does it teasingly

There's a phenomena called "Cat Aggression" where basically some peoples' reactions to seeing cute things is to try and cuddle or bite on it playfully

Which would be present in my Meow meows~

KuroEne Dancing in a Ballroom

I imagined KuroEne dancing in a ballroom in formal outfits, like KuroEne's Design Poll outfits

I also imagined KuroEne with Kuroha’s Design Poll outfit and Ene’s Seek at Mekakucity outfit

KuroEne wearing Wedding Kimono

Kuroha can wear the traditional formal men's kimono, Daiichi reiso (第一礼装)

Ene can wear iro-uchikake (色打掛, "Colourful wedding kimono"), a type of wedding kimono.

They can carry Wagasa (和傘, "Oil paper umbrellas") with them!

Copy pasting from my old rambles.

Used to use it as my reblog/ramble blog, but moved over here.

Meowmeowjestie is a good name tho... I should make use of it in some way

KuroEne wearing Việt Phục

KuroEne in Vietnam wearing Việt Phục (Vietnamese traditional clothes)

Ene would wear this kind of blue Áo Tấc (Ceremonial dress)

Not the exact colours, but something like this

Link: (X)

My skrunklies going on a vacation in my home country is peak comfort~ I'd love to see them wear Việt Phục while in Vietnam's historical sights and gorgeous landscapes

Link: (X)

KuroEne wearing Hanfu

I haven't picked hanfu for them yet, but I'd imagine Kuroha would wear black hanfu (with accent colours like silver, white, gold, red)

Ene would wear blue hanfu (with accent colours like white and black)

It'd be cool if he wore pibo (披帛), translucent white hanfu scarves. It'd be reminiscient to his MR2 design.

I want it to flow around him and have an exaggerated shape language/silhouette :)

I'm planning to draw that in my Saeru MR2 redesign (cuz I don't feel like drawing the top and bottom part of the canon outfit, so I'm just gonna draw what I want)

KuroEne AU: Kuroha sings a lullaby to Ene

Kuroha sings a lullaby to Ene whispers into her headphones (ears) while lying in bed next to her and spoons her. Ene feels her heart beat skyrocket with him being so close to her.

Haruka, Konoha, and Kuroha are all voiced by Mamoru Miyano :) He has a soft soothing voice.

...

Kuroha and Ene sleep in the same bed next to each other, tucked underneath the blankets, and Ene feels her heart beat skyrocket with him being so close to her. I imagined that Kuroha spoons Ene and sings into her headphones (ears)

Kuroha, aware of her growing inner turmoil and embarrassment and conflicted feelings for him, offers to sing her a lullaby to help calm her down, with a smug, knowing grin on his face. He comments that singing a lullaby could help her relax and soothe her heart.

Kuroha tells her that since he is the embodiment of "Knowledge," and his accumulation of knowledge, he knows most of the lullabies that humans use to sing their loved ones to sleep. He knows that Ene doesn't require sleep due to the nature of her Eye Ability, Opening Eyes, but he can help calm her down.

Kuroha starts humming a lullaby into her headphones (ears), with his lips hovering right over her headphones, and Ene gets flustered at him being so close.

She thinks to herself how his voice sounds so much like Haruka/Konoha's, and how soft and gentle it sounds. His face looks so much like theirs too, because of the body he's using.

While he sings to her, Ene just feels her heart pounding in her chest and the heat rising to her cheeks even more. And then she thinks to herself, "Stupid, stupid Saeru!!! This isn't helping!!! This is just making things worse!!!"

Haruka, Konoha, and Kuroha, are all different characters but voiced by the same voice actor, Mamoru Miyano, so they have the same voice.

Kuroha/Saeru's voice is really pretty sounding~ Thank you Miyano~ Wished I could hear more of it… Miyano did a great job voicing all 3 of them. Perfect VA for them!

Shintaro reacts to KuroEne's relationship

Shintaro reacting to KuroEne's relationship would be so funny to imagine. I have more to say about this, but dude would feel like a brick dropped on him

KuroEne AU: Kuroha takes Ene to the Amusement Park

Kuroha lets Ene take him with her to all the attractions, and notices she’s having a lot of fun. He carries her on his back as they walk around. Kuroha wins prizes (plushies) for her at a dart throwing booth and hits all targets flawlessly.

...

Ene wants to go to the Amusement Park with Kuroha, so he agrees to take her and she gets excited when he says yes. While there, he lets Ene take him to all the attractions she wants to visit (mini boat ride, roller coasters), and he carries her on his back too while walking around

Ene gets flustered when she thinks about how it's just the two of them here, wondering if it's a date. Saeru can judge what she's thinking by reading her reactions.

He wins prizes for her at a throwing darts booth stand, and Ene wants him to win prizes for her. Ene gets excited when he wins them all for her, and carries home plushies for her.

He makes a teasing quip on how needy and spoiled she's acting and Ene pouts at him.

Written about in more detail here

Kuroha wants a present from Santa Ene

Kuroha wants a present, and Ene tells him that naughty guys like him get COAL for Christmas. Kuroha leans in to kiss her on the cheek as thanks for her hard work as a Santa.

Ene: It's Christmas!!! Which means it's time for presents!!!

Kuroha: Where's my present, hm?

Ene: Put the gun away, tough guy, it's CHRISTMAS!!!

Kuroha: Oh? This one is just a toy gun, though. (<- Is he lying or telling the truth? Who knows!!!)

Ene: Bad naughty guys like you just get COAL!!! BLEH!!! NO PRESENTS FOR YOU!!! (//>~<//) (:P)

Kuroha knows how to appeal to Ene's need for praise and attention so he just "butters her up" - showers her with praise and compliments and flattery, and Ene responds like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!!! Call me cute!!! Say I'm the cutest Santa in the whole world~ And MAYBE I'll think about giving you your present~" And pouts and crosses her arms at him in Ene's classic embarrassed tsundere fashion.

It would be cute if he kisses her (like on the cheek or the lips), and then says, "Thank you for your hard work this year, Santa~" And Ene just explodes (//O//O//) /lh

KuroEne make snow sculptures together

Kuroha makes a giant snake snow sculpture, and Kuroha helps Ene make a giant chibi version of herself

KuroEne x Vocaloid Songs

Magnet by minato 🦋

Strawberry by Kashii Moimi 🍓

Bougainvillea by Kashii Moimi 💐

Sweet Devil by Hachioji-P 💗

Cinderella by DECO*27 👠

Made a list of possible art ideas for the future. This isn't the whole list, but these are some of the main ones I was thinking of

I would love to create Tegaki (Fan-animatic) MVs for my faves in the future, but atm I'm gonna focus more on art and short comic ideas since they're much more do-able.

Kashii Moimi songs are so Love/Hate core so they work great for KuroEne. And Magnet comps would be fun too since they already wear headphones

KuroEne AUs (Fanon-verse)

Halloween AU: Vampire Kuroha and Witch Ene 🦇🪄

Ene as a witch that can turn into a cat. Heehee

He wants his fave treat...

Halloween KuroEne in a Route where Kuroha pretends to be apart of the MekaDan would be so funny

I wrote a scenario on this, but this post is getting too long so I'll leave it for now

He'd get kicks scaring the other members at the Haunted House

So just imagine MekaDan at the Amusement Park's Haunted House in MR1 but Kuroha is there

Fate AU: Master/Servant AU KuroEne 🃏👑

Ene is a Master (Magus) and Kuroha/Saeru is an Alter Ego-class Servant.

TWEWY AU: KuroEne 💀

TWEWY AU with Kuroha/Saeru as a Reaper and Ene as a Player in the Reaper's Game

I was unsure of whether to make Saeru an Officer-rank Reaper, or the Conductor (head of the Reapers)

I'll decide eventually 🤔

Pokemon AU: KuroEne & KonoEne 💧⚡🍃

Kuroha: Dark and Poison

Ene: Water and Electric

Konoha: Normal, Fighting, and Grass

I think their main types would mainly be these, but they can also have others too. I mainly picked based on aesthetics and what would fit them. Picked these off the top of my head

I was trying to choose serpent-like Pokemon 🐍

Umbreon and Shiny Rayquaza have perfect Kuroha colours tbh. Black yellow and red

Rotom is perfect for Ene. It's cheeky and mischievous, and can enter and control appliances (just like her)

Glaceon has blue twintails and blue eyes.

Konoha's name means "Leaves" so I thought Grass types would be fitting.

Bewear would be funny with Konoha's superhuman strength

KuroEne AUs (Fanon-verse)

I mainly think about my canon-verse AUs the most cuz I'm just way more interested in canon-verse KuroEne.

I favour ships that are intense and dangerous, with compelling conflict and tension

These kinds of lighthearted fanon AUs don't provide me that kind of intensity... They're still cute for me to think about on the side, though

These are more self-explanatory

Royalty AU

Royal Kuroha x Royal Ene

Imagine them ballroom dancing...

Vampire Prince Kuroha x Princess Ene

All of my meow meow mf faves are Vampires so I'm biased

Big Bad Wolf Kuroha x Little Red Riding Hood Ene

Ene in a cute hoodie... WAHOO

[ducky-the-mucky]

I feel like the software department in the Watchtower is small, supper small. Like, so small that anyone who doesn't interact with them thinks the hiring process is extremely rigorous, and you have to be extremely professional and above Player-level skills to even think about getting in, let alone work with the Entire Justice League's software. And no one ever sees them, so one one ever asks about them.

But that's not it. At all.

You see, they get new employees every couple of months, all who barely ever last more than a week.

Why, you ask? Because Batman and the other heroes (but mostly Batman and his stupid batclan) don't communicate with the department when adding to and updating the software. Despite the fact there is a department to do and help with that.

So yeah, only a special kind of person can deal with having to make uncommenting code (with no clear purpose!!!) mesh with other code, having to go through and find unfinished code to either finish or get rid of (stupid batman coding off of 1 hour of sleep from the past two days), and still having to do collabs and stuff with the other departments.

All while waiting on HR to do something about it because they've all already given multiple complaints about it and HR is just sitting there, unsure what to do because not only is it their employers that are the problem but ITS SPECIFICALLY BATMAN.

The Software Department is the middle child of the Watchtower.

trying to figure out hsr's timeline is just pepesilvia.jpeg

when dates are labeled "AE" does that mean the WHOLE amber era, e.g. 2157 AE is the 2157th amber era, which itself lasted anywhere from 76 to 240 years?

was the swarm disaster in the 1300s AE ~770 whole ass amber eras ago (e.g. 60,000-180,000 years ago) from the present in 2157 AE, because that is an insane length of time?

the xianzhou fleet set sail in search of Yaoshi ~8000 years ago (whose years in what system???), and Yaoshi didn't exist during the swarm disaster, so is there just a huge gap between 60k-180k years ago & 8k years ago?

but the founding of the IPC is listed as occurring btw 1357-1387 AE, involving the same people who were presumably mortal, pre-Yaoshi, and didn't live for thousands of years, so that HAS to be measured as 30 years and not 30 amber eras?

but also the IPC claims one of those people contemporary to the swarm disaster is definitely still alive??? i mean sure they could mean it symbolically or sth, but man

man.

i understand the history fictionologists now. i too am about to start just making shit up

[xysidhequeen]

I'm not sure if the next Red Knight part will include the race and Frighty. Cause I really want to do the Fright Knight intro from Jason's POV. But I also really want the race cause it can have so many fluffy feels.

But if I do both its gonna be a chonky part.

Might do both. I have two parts half written, one w/race one w/o. W/ means we get Jazz, Sam, and Tucker interacting with Jason. W/O means it's mentioned but they're not there.
