#Thankfully for Daniel

[zappedbyzabka]

Mafia AU: Sid tells Johnny to dress nice. He's sweating bullets and says that some big financiers are coming over. Johnny isn't stupid and Sid isn't subtle, muttering about his kneecaps and having his fingers chopped off while he yanks Johnny's tie closed.

Johnny's heart drops when he sees that it's the little squirt who kicked his ass with surprising speed over Ali's radio. He's with his mother, an effusive Italian woman, and his stepfather, a reserved and elderly Japanese man. They both beam with love and pride when they have their arms around him. Johnny wishes he had that, but Sid barely acknowledges him and Laura flutters her hands nervously.

So the shrimp has a Cosa Nostra mother and a Yakuza stepfather, both of who love him. Johnny has a stepfather who owes them money.

Miyagi says, pointedly, that Sid's house is very grand, that he seems prosperous. Mrs. LaRusso-Miyagi asks if the boys know each other.

Johnny looks at Daniel, who says sunnily that they met on the beach. Johnny's jaw still hurts, and he can remember the feeling of the sand scraping his face when he went down, the hushed awe of the Cobras. His face burns with humiliation all over again.

Laura says blandly that it's nice they're friends. Daniel and his mom both look puzzled. Johnny never told her he'd gotten his ass kicked by some strange kid. He doesn't tell her stuff like that anymore. His face burns even redder. He can see the woman's expression collapse into pity, but LaRusso just looks contemplative. Like he's figuring out how to ruin Johnny's life at school or something.

Dinner is Sid talking fast and loud about profit margins and Daniel staring at Johnny like a fucking weirdo. Laura and Johnny pick at their food. Every so often, Daniel or his mom will lean over to whisper into Miyagi's ear. Sid tells Johnny to take Daniel up to his room and "play videogames or whatever" after dessert.

Johnny leads Daniel to his room and sits on his bed awkwardly. Daniel actually sits beside him and asks him how his jaw is feeling, where he'd struck the final blow that dumped Johnny onto the sand. Johnny thinks about how Daniel could probably have him killed, and says that it's not the worst he's ever gotten. Daniel just nods, then asks him if he gets along with Sid. Johnny takes the chance to unload, then asks him how he gets along with Miyagi.

Daniel explains that his mom got pregnant and the guy ran off suddenly, and Miyagi stepped up and married her rather than having her family send her somewhere. Miyagi's the only father he's ever known, and he's utterly devoted to Daniel and Lucille.

When Sid calls Johnny downstairs and tells him that he's going with Miyagi, Johnny doesn't even fight it. Daniel could kick his ass. Miyagi could have him killed. Could have his mom killed. Why fight it? What does he have to gain?

It's not until Miyagi starts talking to Daniel about "your new pet-boy" in the car that Johnny really understands what's going on.

His first thought is that the Cobras can't find out, no matter what.

🫠🫠🫠 Daniel knew Johnny was going to be his the night they met—obsessed the moment he saw Johnny’s blue eyes all wide in shock after Daniel hit him—after Daniel put him in his place. He wanted to wipe the blood off Johnny’s nose and tell him he’s sorry that he had to hit his pretty face, but Johnny apparently hadn’t learned his lesson because he hit Daniel again and drove off with his boyfriends, or whoever they were—they’re irrelevant to Daniel. He went home that night and gave his dad all the info he knew about the boy on the beach so they could plan how to make him Daniel’s.

He got more of an idea of what Johnny needs when they talked in his bedroom; he looked so defeated as he talked about all the terrible things Sid would say to him on a daily basis and how it feels like his mom doesn’t care about him anymore since she doesn’t do anything about how Sid treats him besides sometimes half-heartedly asking him to be nicer. He was all hunched in on himself and refusing to make eye contact as he confessed all of it, and it broke Daniel's heart; his boy just needs /love/, needs to be praised and fucked until his mind is blank and all those awful things he thinks about himself are gone, not disciplined like Daniel thought at first. Oh, and Daniel’s definitely going to have Sid killed.

He pulls Johnny close when he starts quietly sobbing in the car and soothingly cards his fingers through Johnny’s golden hair, only pulling away to gently cup Johnny’s face in his hands and kiss away his tears, not stopping until Johnny relaxes against him, and Daniel luckily only receives a short warning from Lucille that he needs to control himself until he's at least in his own room.

"Don’t cry, honey, we’re not going to hurt you. I won’t let you ever be hurt again," he tells Johnny sincerely, smiling warmly—then his expression turns dark. "I’ll kill anyone who lays a finger on you with my bare hands if I have to."

Johnny looks back down at Daniel's lips like he wants to be kissed again.

Once again. A new DPxDC idea/prompt.

(Deaged! Danny, Dan, Ellie, and Jazz!)

Enjoy my random ideas.

Look.

Selina....

Selina wasn't expecting this when she decided to have some fun and do what she does best.

She just meant to sweet talk her way into Master's gala/party. Flirt and get info, maybe some blackmail. Steal away the rare cat themed artifact he had recently gotten (and also steal away his actual cat, such a lovely little diva it is too). then she was going to disappear into the night like always.

So...

Selina casted her eyes into the mirror of her car and could see the tiny children she had rescued from Master's hidden basement lab. All but one was asleep, the oldest out of them, although she seemed to be losing that fight from the way her head was falling forward, eyes closing but would jerk herself back awake when she realized she was falling asleep.

Curled up as hard and as much as they could towards the little redhead was three dark haired children, Selina mused that they'd fit right in with Bruce and his little bats/birds.

Two were near identical boys, though one seemed to be much paler than the other and if she remembered right one had red eyes and the other had blue, and the last one of the sleeping kids was a tiny toddler, a girl she heard was named 'Ellie' from the others.

Selina took note that the red head, Jazz, had finally fallen asleep a few minutes later. With a deep breath as she drove further and further away from that... that insane Fruitloop (she overheard the two boys call him that as they ran to her car) Master's place, she blindly reached for her phone and pressed a single digit on the screen, knowing it will connect to her car and call up the only person she can trust to help her with this.

"Selina." came the gravely voice after a single ring, sounds like she caught him on patrol but he seemed to be in a spot where he was okay to say her actual name over coms or she caught him before his night shift started.

"Hello Darling, I need your help with some kittens I found and to help me... Put away their terrible old owner."

Two takes.

That's all they had to get this right

But that's all they needed.

Rolin was right.

There is something really heavy in this scene.

Sam and Jacob have spent three years carrying these characters inside themselves. Hundred of late nights and dawns together (on and off set). Conversations, debates, meals shared, laughter and probably tears too.It's clearly been a journey for them, not just their characters.

But there's something else happening here too.

Eric saw it. He watched these actors go places others won't (or can't). Something challenging and authentic.

Even Eric (a veteran actor of 50+ years) said he's never been on a show like this, never pushed himself so far outside his comfort zone. But for this show, he's happy to do it because he knows he can trust them.

Eric nailed it when he spoke about the importance of trust and engaging with genuine emotions for both Jacob and Sam:

Jacob talks about Sam the same way,

This is why this feels so real.

Because it's true when Sam says:

And Jacob was only half joking when he said:

It's their complete trust in each other. It's their willingness to engage truthfully with painful emotions.

Shared grief and shared sorrow hurts, and Jacob and Sam aren't holding anything back. They feel safe going to places that are deeply painful and hard. Ugly and nasty. Full of regret and remorse. And genuine love.

This is why it feels so truthful in that moment.

This is why they only needed two takes.

Countdown to October 19th (10/19)

There is nothing more humbling than rewatching old DnP videos and seeing your own comments from 9 years ago

[sisterdanielstits]

both of my siblings have tumblrs and we all follow each other, even a few of our side blogs, but i have never told them about this one because i knew they'd judge me for it

today me and my siblings were in the living room and i didn't want to get up so i sent a post to my sibling and told them to open tumblr

a few seconds later they jumped up and yelled really loudly "who the hell is sisterdanielstits?"

keep in mind MY DAD IS STANDING IN THE ROOM WITH US

so i had to quickly start explaining things and backtracking like "IT'S A JOKE IN THE FANDOM! IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS! IT'S A JOKE ACCOUNT! THE NAME'S A JOKE!"

...

oh my fucking god i need to walk into oncoming traffic

[ortofosforico]

I initially found Queen of The Damned difficult to read because of all the different plots alternating-

I ALMOST SKIPPED DEVIL'S MINION DO YOU BELIEVE THAT?

Kinda glad I started reading it well after season one came out, so I can picture Armand as a mix of book-Armand and Assad Zaman instead of a mix of book-Armand and Antonio Banderas in stark white gothic makeup.

[helianthus21]

i'm mixing up book and show canon again but the Nicki/Daniel parallels are SO

the way Lestat could throw the lines "Do you keep this boy as a reminder?" and "Too fragile" back in Armand's face in the 70s/80s and when Daniel succumbs to madness,, insane

[perhapsinsydney]

newlywed game question if we were insane and crazy:

- who said "love you" first (as a friend)?

- who tastes better (in a cannibalism situation)?

- who's more likely to leave the other?

Dan gives me serious gender envy as of late

I love Jacobi in Dirty Work so much <3

I think that might actually be one of my favorite episodes 🤔

"Oh! Excuse me, I forgot the magic word. My dearest Lieutenant Minkowski, if it's not too much trouble, would you pret-ty please with sugar on top shoot Colonel Kepler dead where he stands."

The fact that he was bluffing all the way and yet stood his ground even at the gunpoint when Minkowski was playing her safe version of russian roulette. He was ready to be shot but not back down. It was either he got his revenge or oblivion and escape from pain.

I was kind of lost on his behavior in the end but maybe, juuuuust maybe he's more suicidal after Maxwell's death than I thought.
