#I would like to be asleep right now

[ailithnight]

Took me a while to come back to this, but I didn't forget. For those that were interested, here's some of my further thoughts for this one:

Danny's birth mother died from complications a couple days after he was born.

She did not know his father was actually Batman.

She thought his father was Matches Malone.

Danny's mother is not the first person to list Batman as her kid's father. She's not the last. Over the years, several Gothamites have used Batman in place of an actual father.

Bruce has a system to alert him if his name or certain aliases show up on birth certificates so he can check in on it if it does. Just to make sure. For himself. He never disputes it and doesn't plant to unless it comes up on it's own.

However, Batman is specifically not programmed to ping the alert because of the above point. It happens with enough frequency it would be difficult to personally check each case; and Bruce doesn't even sleep around as Batman, so it's implicitly assumed wrong anyway.

Danny was just, one hell of a coincidence. Or the universe starting early on making every turn in his life a left. (The phenomenon typically referred to in fandom as Fenton Luck, but clearly the name doesn't apply here. It's not Fenton. It's just Danny.)

Danny was a premie. Why? Because I said so.

After getting their degrees, Jack and Maddie spent a couple years traveling the country with their prototype Fenton Ecto-Detectos (the lack of r is intentional) to find the place with the most ambient ecto to settle and start their research in. That place ends up being Gotham.

Jazz is not adopted. She was, however, a very complicated pregnancy that ultimately ended in Maddie being unable to conceive again.

At the time they are still in Gotham, Jack and Maddie are actually very good, attentive parents. It will be at least a few more years of ectoplasm exposure before contamination sets in, making them more Liminal and in turn more Obsessive. Obsession will slowly spiral them to the degree of negligence seen in the show.

The decision to leave Gotham comes when Danny is about 2 and a half. Obviously the city is dangerous and corrupt and polluted. For many non-natives, that's reason enough to leave as soon as they have the means.

For Jack and Maddie, the biggest factor was coming to the conclusion that, "Something about Gotham's arcane geography makes the city very hostile to the development of ghosts."

Turn out ghosts not forming in this city is counterproductive to their goal of proving ghosts exist and are a real threat people should be defending against. Since Gotham is a dead end for their research and a hazard to their children, Jack and Maddie decide to move to Amity Park.

Danny has a memory, buried deep in his psyche, his earliest memory. Waking up in his crib in the middle of the night to a strange woman made of smoke and stone cupping his face and saying goodbye. This memory only resurfaces when he first returns to Gotham.

I'm thinking reveal gone right but GIW are fucks. The Fenton's suddenly retracting all of their prior research and recalling all their weapons for 'safety defects' raises some big red flags to the organization.

Then with Jack, Maddie, and Jazz's "contamination" finally crossing beyond the "safe" threshold...

But still far too human to survive the kind of experimentation the GIW preforms...

:)

. . .

Runaway teens are unfortunately common in Gotham. Normally Gotham police officers wouldn't get involved unless the kid started trouble.

But this kid looks like he's been to hell and back several times over. There comes a point where they just can't turn a blind eye. Someone has to check in, if only to make sure there isn't something big and ongoing that needs to be taken down.

A kid that looks like he's been the victim of human experimentation and won't -or can't- talk is definitely one such situation.

Since the kid isn't talking, GCPD resorts to fingerprints, DNA, and searching his bag for any hope of a clue of where he came from and what happened to him.

Which is what ultimately leads to Jim Gordon pacing in front of the Bat Signal. The birth certificate they'd found buried in the bag says The Batman. The DNA test says Bruce Wayne. And Jim Gordon says he needs a vacation.

DPxDC Prompt #13

Danny was born in Gotham and ended up for adoption shortly after. The woman who birthed him listed the father on his birth certificate as The Batman. Everyone laughed it off as a joke from a woman who didn't know or didn't want admit who the father was. They left it be, but no one really thought it was true. It couldn't be. Right?

Do you think Jesus ever felt homesick. Do you think he missed his mom

This is sort of salty but one of my tumblr/social media pet peeves is when people assume the cause of a lack of engagement is anything and everything other than "people are not picking up what you're putting down." Like, yeah, there are people who like and don't reblog your fic or your long post, but sometimes it's because people liked your post to save it for later, read it and said "hmmmm I don't care for this" and then never cleared out their likes. I'm a big proponent of reblogging your own work that you're proud of but sometimes you have to admit that people are seeing it and saying "hard pass". And to be clear, I cannot judge with any objectivity if you are a misunderstood genius or a massive idiot, though I'll certainly have my own thoughts on it, but usually a post not getting notes isn't a conspiracy against you or other people's fear of being uncool or them not knowing how to use the website; sometimes people just didn't like what you said or even were merely totally apathetic to it. At the very least if you're incapable of humility and self reflection you should just assume you are a misunderstood genius and move on instead of sulking. If you are, in some cosmic truth, a massive idiot, this won't improve that situation, but you'll probably feel better and won't alienate people further by being both an idiot AND a sulker.

hhhhidea...,,,, CUTE idea (kinda?) dust reading to phantom papyrus during night to lull him to sleep,,,, but really its just a way for him to pretend that everythings not really that shit (as if phantom paps isn't just dust's denial incarnate) and to help him NOT wake up because of a nightmare again or something

(and just because i can't resist now im imagining this with mtt. not that dust stopped reading to paps in place of killer and horror (because he wouldnt he simply wouldn't) but now the two join them for storytime. horror knocks out pretty damn fast and eventually dust falls asleep too after he makes sure that paps is satisfied with the amount he read and then killer's just left to sit there. maybe he tries to fall asleep maybe he doesn't,,,, maybe he picks up the book and continues reading but EITHERWAY,,,,,, this scene in my head so 💥💥💥😇😇😇)

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself
