AU where Light never picks up the notebook and goes on to join the NPA, eventually following in his father's footsteps as chief.
The first L has retired (which is a nice way of saying he's disappeared and no one can track him down), forcing his successor Near to take up the mantle.
Years later, the chief of the NPA is summoned by L to help track down a serial killer.
#the timeline when a time traveler kicks a rock#this is my workplace comedy au pitch#death note#light yagami#light death note#near death note#near#nate river#moonriver#death note au#alternate universe#elle draws#also.... light looking at his watch......#don't worry everyone he's just looking at the time. it's certainly not alluding to something in another lifetime or anything like that#this is why it was so important to me that light's appearance change somehow to indicate time has passed#the side swept bangs is essential in showing that this isn't just light from the warehouse scene lol

danny and officer martinez's relationship in "late at night, when the nightingale sings" in a nutshell:
Martinez: FREAK! GET YOUR FUCKING KID!
Battinson, on the other side of the crime scene: he don't bite
Martinez, with Nightingale firmly attached his arm, visibly biting him: YES HE DO!
*points at them* Danny is the Bugs Bunny to Martinez's Elmer Fudd.
Another Officer: i can't believe you're fighting with an actual twelve year old. Martinez: i swear to god that is not a twelve year old, that is a little hellion that crawled out of batman's shadow one dark and stormy night and decided to dedicate his existence to tormenting me. Officer: Are you really that mad about him putting a sticky note on your back-- Martinez: thats not the point
in danny's defense: the word "freak" is. a mini beserker button for him for.... obvious ghostly reasons, so like, even if its not directed at him, he still very much unappreciates Martinez's insults at Battinson. Danny may or may not be projecting.
he's not going to hurt the guy! not in any serious or permanently disfiguring way at least! But he is going to leave mean sticky notes on the square part of his spine that he can't reach, and stick salt in his 3AM Late Night Crime Scene Coffee, and kick the bottom of his heel while he's walking so he stumbles. And other petty, infuriating things that tally up and boil over, over time.
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc#dpxdc crossover#blood blossom au#dpxdc memes#dpxdc au#the only thing martinez is right about is the fact that danny is. in fact. NOT twelve.#he's just shrimpy because he's half-dead#there's eventually a 'martinez vs nightingale' board in the precinct called the beef board. it tallies every time one of them gets got by#the other. danny is currently in the lead by a wide margin. martinez is very limited in what he can do bc of multiple reasons. but one#of them is the fact that batman HAS punched a cop before. three actually. and he won't hesitate to punch another if martinez actually did#anything to harm nightingale. and also nightingale shows up so rarely and doesnt stick around long enough for martinez to retaliate#or properly plan ahead. its kinda a wild card whether or not nightingale pops up on the scene.#nightingale: i am just a little guy!! the littlest of boy!! baddabing-baddaboom! you wouldn't do nothin to a little guy would'ya?#battinson who atp knows full well that if it werent for the blood blossom danny could turn martinez into a red smear: *would you?*#danny: if it werent for the laws of this land i would have committed acts of violence against You Specifically :)#and also like. every single other officer insulting batman and callin him a freak. they're not safe either martinez is just the poor sucker#that i have a name to give the face to#danny's a good kid but also i don't picture him totally.. hm... mentally stable? he's a little spicy. as a treat.#he's kind at his core but also he found his family's corpses and was isolated from society for 4 months by his abusive godfather and was#poisoned with quite literally the only toxin capable of destroying him entirely and can no longer (currently) use his powers without dying#instantly. so he's! he's doing his best! like between being chaotic and being kind he's def gonna choose being kind but also.#he's living on borrowed time and is in a constant active state of being slowly eaten alive by his own bloodstream. it weighs on ya psyche#danny's barely even processed his family's death and now he's got all this other trauma stacked on top to address. he is Windows EXP rn#tormenting martinez is just. an itty bitty way he can let loose some of the stress he's ignoring.#considering danny's alternate timeline was: world annihilation. he thinks he's doing pretty well all things considered

Iām watching the last episode and why isnāt five, someone whoās like,,,whole thing is keeping his family together and safe, not excited at all to see his siblings after 7 years. Even before he starts a fight thereās no hugs, no smiles, no excitement. He barely even looks at them.
#also thereās a shot where he has full emo hair#one bang covering his eye and everything#heās like 70 right? heās always seemed better groomed than this#tua#tua s4#tua season 4#tua spoilers#tua s4 spoilers#the umbrella academy#god and another thing that o might rant about in another post#if the subway is a waypoint between alternate timelines of the same moment in time#Iām quoting Lila there#how did they spend 7 years in strawberry land but get back a couple hours later#I canāt remember and donāt wanna rewatch episodes but does five time travel this season? or can he only go to the subway#itās inconsistent in my memory#i think the subway element is poorly written

Harry Kim saying Naomi is lucky to be born on Voyager and that he would have given "anything" to have her life when he was a kid...
#He sees NO downsides????#Also I love how Neelix was yelling and panicked and Harry was like 'haha ok buddy. Hey this little guy is ugly huh~? See ya later!'#absolutely unbothered and not the least bit curious - love him <3#saw someone post about how they don't like 'once upon a time' bc Neelix doesn't tell Naomi right away about her mother .... bro.#c'mon. Anyway I love Neelix and him trying so hard to shield Naomi from bad things / upset bc he KNOWS how fucking painful#it is to lose a family DID make me tear up.#Also Naomi in that burned-down forest (symbolic of innocence?) was a kickass visual. Neelix telling her about his family and Naomi trying#to comfort HIM??? SHE'S SUCH A GOOD KID MAN....Neelix making her a flotter doll was also v cute#OH AND Naomi going 'I Am Borg...' and Neelix going '~??? No you're not~!!!' and Naomi giggling...added NOTHING to the#episode - as it should be!! Sometimes you've just gotta have a really cute silly moment <3#Tuvok: [says something] / Tom: Nice bedside manner Tuvok =_=#Tuvok: [about to say the most beautiful comforting words you've ever heard one parent say to another] And I took that personally.#Love how Naomi is scared of Seven at first...girl that's your roommate.#HEHEH she starts off the series scared of her but by the end she's her little buddy and also her intern#but yeah never forget that Harry Kim can and will say the most unhinged things but so casually that no one will really clock it#NEVER forget that he says he remembers.....either being an infant or his own birth - both WILD to me#Harry Kim lowkey loves destiny and being special and the idea of 'chosen ones' and the narrative even though he will fight it all if it#harms the ones he loves#Harry: (guy from an alternate timeline who replaced the dead Naomi with the alive one from his own) That kid's living the dream <3

Post fight catch.
Here is a sketch I made of a moment from the Shadow the Hedgehog vs the World au after a small battle with Terra (one of the enemies from the au).
To add more context, Shadow encounters the alternate timeline version of Knuckles where he recently left a ruined Angle Island to Westopolis because a certain Black Arms hybrid experiment (Terra) stole the Master Emerald. Knuckles even had an intense battle with him before he left, which made him stand-offish against any hybrids he encountered in later on, including Shadow. Of course, Shadow doesnāt negotiate with Knuckles since heās too focused on taking down Terra so he could get his chaos abilities and normal form back. The two of them eventually realize they need to work together in order to defeat a common enemy. From that point, hijinks ensue.
#au#alternate timeline#shadow the hedgehog vs the world#shadow the hedgehog#knuckles the echidna#knuxadow#sonic the hedgehog#digital art#sketch#gio arts#I think the two characters would get along if they had more time to interact with one another#they would be the friend duo whoās pretty chill but can kick butt when needed#or boyfriends idk#not sure if the movie will do it; but Iām hoping

Hear me out (or don't... it's fine I'm just venting and mean) yeah um I don't believe Chakotay was saved in Prod*gy s2.
#the 'time travel' makes no sense when you think on it. What happened to Prime Chakotay? He got killed they showed that.#At the end s1 Janeway finds an 'alternate chakotay in an alternate timeline' and that's the one they go and get#we saw the original get merc'd in the message. That ACTUALLY happened. Lmao.....#They didn't prevent THAT death because they didn't go to THAT Solum with the Infinity and stop it from happening#instead it was 'ALTERNATE#' implying other.#OG Chakotay wasn't taken over by the alternative one either nothing suggests that was the direction for him in s2#they didn't do anything like 'well you see chakotay because at the end of s2 when we converged timestreams you have merged with your other'#if they did want to recover the original from s1 then keep that clear instead of being convoluted dont use an alternate timeline wtf#instead the plot was focused on gywns stupid fucking paradox plot and her being fixed#chakotay was the one in a paradox too did that not matter nah dw about it he had to die for this outcome or someshit lmao why#In the extended message given to admiral janeway it shows him clearly getting left behind and surrounded. Sadly no one intervened.#I dont understand why they couldnt have just made s2 about his rescue alone IF they took their time it wouldnt be so difficult#to follow#above that the one they rescued was ruined by the 10 year gap so he wasn't 'saved' at all. God i hate s2 when you break it apart#I dunno the more i look at s2 Janeway and Chakotay the more upsetting it is. Janeway would NOT have settled for an imposter.#everyone going goo-goo gaa gaa over s2 but it's sloppy af imo and undermines a huge portion voyagers struggles#id really like them to flatly lay out their ideas because literally nothing ive heard explains the story or choices of s2 with conviction#instead it's oh clap for wesley or the new vulcan and other references yay#describe to me your timetravel clearly and i'll happily take a seat on it (there is still other crap stuff mind you)#this is the most repressed shit i my head i swear#im angry because s1 is so clearly mapped out to a brilliant degree and for whatever reason it's not in s2#i can see through it#insultingly people are eating it up and claiming it's better than ever nah dawg embarrassing#there are nice ideas inside s2 but they arent adequately rewarded#it doesnt compare to the timetravel in other trek because they kept it clear#i mean it could have been an interesting parallel to endgame but in the end janeway didnt even rescue him lmao they dropped her#why bother building up this mission only for her to give up and go 'i'll hand it over because im told to'. Janeway had fuck all this season#let alone settle for not fixing her own timeline and her own friends deadly circumstance dw just grab another one from the shelf i guess#the emotional fallout was absolutely missed because they didnt elaborate on anything. Plenty of show but no substance from the characters

Merlin but Merlin loses it when Arthur dies and instinctively starts a time loop and every time Arthur dies it automatically resets...for angst purposes it could stay tragic..no matter what he does to change the past kilgharra was right. no one can change their destiny nor can they escape it. or by starting this time loop at all he's doing is preventing the rise of the once and future king so by staving off Arthur's death he's actually preventing anyone from ever really living again. a never ending story with one character aware of the narrative but powerless to change it. a puppet with a brain but no autonomy to put it to use. A tragedy of his own making instead the one prophesized
#so that it doesn't work on the first try maybe morgana remembers and interferes or#maybe future Merlin is a sort of apparition that can only act if his old body lets him. he talks to past him like a ghost or demon even#so what he's saying directly contradicts kilgharra or gaius so present merlin probably distrusts him like crazy#merlin becomes another old annoying person in his own ear#who he doesn't even know if he can trust#OR he ends up sending arthur back by accident and arthur is in the past trying to fix shit#and this CHANGES something because now there's warnings of a great ending of all things coming for Camelot and by extension albion#and arthur knowing about Merlin's powers after keeping his knowledge to himself (cos he died RIGHT after learning about the magic)#finally understands the burden merlin had without having to try and understand based on Merlin's summary of an explanation alone#he understands morgana and mordred even nimueh like he GETS it gets it#anyway time goes on canon events are rewritten and the 'great evil' rips a giant hole in space and time and it turns out#future merlin was the cause. because he was smashing alternate realities to pieces looking for arthur is desperation#not knowing where the hell he even sent him breaking any known laws of time and space and reality consequences be damned#arthur cannot kill merlin. he cannot do it. not even for Camelot#so this can be angsty too like merlin loses himself completely in the search for arthur (paralleling the og timeline where Merlin ends up#singularly focused on Arthur's safety instead of his true mission)#and it literally swallows him and their entire known world up#or they get through to him. arthur AND past merlin. seeing that past him was able to diverge from the set path. live more for himself#than just arthur or for the sake of camelot be a PERSON outside of that. and have knowledge that he DID change arthur's mind.#not just as a useless deathbed confession but as something that actively changed and SAVED albion redeemed him of the mistakes he made and#proved that arthur is the man the KING he told every antagonist he was#future merlin sacrifices himself to destroy the black hole he made and it's like that future never even was.#just a bad nightmare you can't really remember.#just thinking about Merlin god bless#bbc merlin#fic ideas

in an ideal world chrome would be able to stop reno from following the plate drop orders but i simply do not think this is possible and this is why they are doomed
#lem text#š dead man on the run <3<#šŖ (s/i)#LOYALTY IS ONE OF HIS INTEGRAL CHARACTER TRAITS THIS CANNOT BE FIXED#**that** is why i have them meet years before canon events fnwkdnjwJ#i think chrome would need to be IN sector7 AT that time and for reno to know about it for him to hesitate#and then one of the other turks would take over or something. i do have them follow the og plot where rude isnāt there though#another alternate universe would be where chrome follows the main crew up the pillar bc reno would not fight him if he was there .#chrome doesnāt join the party until they leave midgar though he wouldnāt be there in the main timeline#anywya iām just thinking about them because itās the worst anniversary of tge world tomorrow. PENSIVE#AND ALSO BECAUSR I ACCIDENTALLY SAW A GLIMPSE OF THR RENO SCENES I HAVENT GOTTEN TO IN REBIRTH SNF IWM FGOING TO DIE. ANYWAY THIS GUY SUCKS

I was thinking about this weird body horror bastard earlier
#gopher art#sketchbook#mortal kombat#mk monster#*twirls hair* girl he is so cryptic. love a mysterious guy#for those who dont know him: he's one of the last fights in deception's konquest mode. you arent warned about him. he isnt explained after#it is literally the hardest non optional fight in that game mode. he claims to be the champion of the elder gods. this is unconfirmed#its bizarre and i fucking ADORE it#my theory doesnt really go any further than as its written. other than the idea that Monster has been the champion for a long fucking time.#and that he was once normal (or what passes as normal for whatever realm he's from) but being influenced by the elder gods for so long has#had a sort of... corrupting effect? their power has rubbed off on him and altered him#when Scorpion is chosen as their champion (mkd ending especially) he hasnt been under their influence long enough for it to change him#i have another unrelated theory where he's an alternate timeline version of scorpion who- due to Fuck You I Said So logic-#has been snatched up by the elder gods. and hes been in their service for so long he doesnt know who he is#hes simply Monster. Champion of the Elder Gods#neither of these have evidence btw. i just think it would be neat

bruh I don't think people realize that in the dbz manga Vegeta is not combative with Bulma except for one (1) time and she ends up being so right about the situation that he just shuts the fuck up for the rest of the series akljdls
#when I tell you this man almost never argues with her (or anyone!!) in the manga and shuts all the way up after he loses to cell#He's a jerk in the way that he's pompous and dismissive and Mean-witted not volatile and loud -- that's super rare behavior in the manga#he *almost* exclusively yells at people when he's In Battle or it's Urgent -- with a few notable exceptions of him being Reactive#Like he's the first one to jump down Bulma's throat about her plan to destroy Gero's lab before the androids are done and it ends with him#getting his arrogant showboating ass beat twice in front of his kid and then his son getting killed and Gohan paying for his mistakes#And (short of an hour long relapse in a seven year period) he has been on Bulma's side ever since and it remains true throughout Super#When I tell you I do not know WHAT the anime is doing sadjasj Toriyama did not write Vegeta this well for Toei to do him so dirty so often#even in botg the reason he wasn't āatā Bulma's party is because Bulma's party was at Capsule Corp he was just in another building#and the reason he raised his voice at her was because she was drunk and chatting at him while he was trying to sense beerus#so everyone didn't Die#He's NEVER rude to Bulma when Toriyama writes him and the only time he was implied to be Bulma threw his ass out#and I'm always SO MAD when the anime writes 1) him being shitty to her and 2) her tolerating it like they don't Both Know#there's a whole alternate timeline that proves she's a perfectly capable single mother#get it together toei#anyway sorry i didn't tag you OP this was a silly post that got away from me and i didn't want to spam you with my angry tags aklsjdlkasjd#dbtag

That Ace Combat video is how I feel about Star Trek.
#patchoulol#There's so fucking much.#Yeah one time Picard almost prevented the formation of all life on Earth?#Also the Defiant is named for another ship that fell through time to the alternate timeline of another series.#And we're still not entirely sure that series isn't an alternate timeline forking from the movie First Contact.#They followed up on that like 50 years later in real time and you just had to know about it by the way.#Oh and we have no idea how time travel affecting the Mirror Universe affects ours?#If the prefit Mirror I.S.S. Enterprise is abandoned in the future then how does Kirk travel to the refit Mirror I.S.S. Enterprise...#But if SNW is TOS split from an alternate Disco timeline to make that make sense how does Lower Decks travel to it since it's far post TOS.#Does Prime Kirk still exist in the past of the Kelvin Timeline picking up the whales despite not existing in the future after that point?

I don't have fully formed thoughts on the matter but my brain has just been rotating these two images around next to each other for days. interpret that as you will
(Crisis on Infinite Earths #12, published December 1985/cover date March 1986)
(Stranger Things S4E9, takes place in March 1986)
#something something the anti-matter universe=the upside down.#im not suuuuper up to date on/aware of the numerous -gates and theories people have about the show BUT#ive def seen talk abt alternate timelines/universes and well. tht could line up with the positive matter multiverse#things from one earth bleeding into another as the earths start to overlap...#its also the fact that this comic would still be on shelves at the time of S4. it was a very current thing. tht timing stands out to me#our characters are nerds who talk abt comics in the actual show more than once! Crisis on Infinite Earths was a big deal!#it is very likely at least *some* of them read this. and i'd find it hard to believe showrunners are unaware of it#If you're researching 'comics stuff from the 80's' which. when writing nerds in the 80s feels likely... COIE would ABSOLUTELY come up#+ the multiple references to the idea of a 'superhero' this season + specifically Superman & Supergirlāboth relevant to this event...#idk. idk where im going with this but i guess my tldr is i would NOT be surprised if a character namedropped this event in s5#stranger things#grandpa max is god? i go to church now
