#The Fandom isn't dead

[ironychan]

An OC I doodled. This is Will Fullerton. He's originally from Ireland, and habitually calls himself a 'selkie' rather than a 'sea monster'. The short version of his story is that he got a job on a ship because he wanted to see the world. The ship sank, he went in the water, and his crewmates were rather alarmed by the result, leaving him stranded a very long way from home.

(This summary actually leaves out the most important part of the backstory but that's also really complicated so yeah.)

A dream land - DP X DC Prompt

Okay, so I was thinking about that episode "Perchance to dream" where Bruce is trapped in a dream world and this, even thought really different, came to my mind.

Danny is king or prince of the infinite realms. He's been working on personalizing/decorating his castle in the infinite realms. When he feels someone walking just outside the castles walls. The thing is, that someone isn't a denizen, they aren't in a corporeal body, but he can feel that they are very much alive and feel distinctly human. He approaches the person to ask why and how they are in the infinite realms, but they fade away before he gets the opportunity.

Clockwork, who was with him at the moment, tells him that the visitor from the living, was just the soul projection of someone that was sleeping, and then refuses to elaborate further. Since it's something that was to do with sleeping, Danny decides to go and ask Nocturn, it seemed like a reasonable assumption that he was the one at fault for the soul projection.

Contrary to what he thought, Nocturn informed Danny that Sleeping soul projection was a natural phenomenon that he didn't control. The land of dreams, ("My domain" - Nocturn reminds him), was in the infinite realm after all, and those who have been close to death sometimes slipped they're whole soul instead of just their mind, and ended up all over the infinite realms.

It isn't too different from a lucid dream for them, the body gets all the benefit of the sleep, the mind feels rested if they had a good time in the realms. Except, if they hurt their soul too bad during their little trip, it would have real consequences. Loosing memories, abilities regression, migraine, pain that reflects the soul damage, all either temporary until the soul healed, or permanent and deteriorating, and in some occasions finishing in the persons death. In the latter, the soul is usually too damaged and cease it's existence, or have enough ectoplasm and emotion to form into ghosts with crack cores whose existence is instantly in danger.

Danny clearly didn't like the image that was painted to him, so he asked Nocturn if there was really nothing that he could do. It took a lot of talking and convincing, but eventually Nocturn admitted he could be able to direct the soul projecting to appear on a certain place, but he refused to babysit anyone. Which was enough for Danny, all he needed to do was make another expansion in his castle.

He decided to make a garden to receive their soul projecting guests. The garden was enormous, with all kinds of spaced within it. Playgrounds, picnic spaces, soft benches, tables with ghost and space teamed board games, fountains, and of course, the beautiful flowers that surrounded and decorated the place. Once he got ghosts with gardening, protection and caring obsessions on the place to look out for the souls, he was ready to receive them. It took him by surprise the amount of people that came, the garden was never crowded, but was never empty either, and souls of all ages and places were visiting at all times.

He kept expanding the garden as he heard of new things their guests wished for. He enjoyed spending time in the middle of the garden where souls passed by but rarely appeared, it was calm, but not completly quite with the background noice of the soul enjoying their dreams, and he could do the more mundane king/prince work. Until, he starts getting a regular visitor on his little space of the garden.

Choose the DC character you prefer, my idea is for people who hasn't died in the past but has been in the doors of death (so died and came back would be disqualified but you do as you prefer), but I'm going with Tim.

The soul of a boy around his age appears just in front of him, as usual when he greets new arriving soul, he welcomes him with a gentle smile and tells him he is free to explore the garden. A ghost taker is assign to him. The soul, as usual, seems confused and like he wished to asks questions, but seems content to ask them to his tour guide, and Danny continues with his own duties.

But then, the same soul continues to appear in the same place every two or three days, they exchange greetings and every time talk for a bit longer before the boy leaves to explore once more. It's rear to have multiple visits from one soul, even more so for said soul to appear in the same place every time. By the four time, Danny decides to take a break on his royal duties and accompany his new friend.

~ They get close, and have cute scenes, Tim asks a lot of questions and Danny answers and not-answers a lot of questions ~

One day, Tim shows up as usual, but he is in full Red Robin costume, and well, Danny wasn't expecting an identity reveal.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

On the Bats side:

There's an attack of some villain that's able to put Red Robin (or character of your choice) on a sleeping beauty type of sleep while carrying a serious injury, were he stays sleep until teammates or backup gets him out of it. The event affects his soul, making him disconnect partially from the land of dreams and making his soul sleep project almost every time he sleeps.

Tim starts sleeping more often. It's worrying at first, Bruce being paranoid does every test in the book, despite Tim saying he's just finding sleep easier now. But, he was just affected by sleeping magic and suddenly his sleeping easier? Seems like a side effect, and that makes it worrying.

Tim's health in general improve, just like he's concentration and productivity. Who would have thought that working rested actually was more productive than working on less than three hours of sleep and missing obvious details and clues due to how tired you are.

With everything not only being okay, but better than before, paranoia about Tim's new sleeping schedule soon dies, and instead is replaced with teasing about how he used to refuse to rest kicking and screaming, and now he may sleep more than any of them.

On Tim's side, he's loving being able to soul project so often. He knew from the start he was in a different dimension, and he just wanted to know the hows, whys, and everything else. So far, he seems to do it at least once every three days, and he's even gone two times in a row a couple of times.

The garden had a lot of things to do, but Tim doesn't care about that, he's more interested in all the information he's getting. The first 3 times he was given different ghost nanny's, who were more focus on entertaining him and didn't really answer direct question. But then king/prince Phantom decided to accompany him personally, and everything went smoother. He was going back to get to know more about this new world, and maybe to know more about the cute prince/king too. He might also have gotten some better looking pajamas.

Now, he has a mission that takes more than a couple days with some people in his team that hasn't yet sen his face. He didn't realize how difficult it would be to do all nighters after getting used to a sleep schedule. He would usually try to go as long as possible without sleeping, but he decides that he should take advantage of the safety of where they're staying and sleep a bit too. He ended up soul projecting in full Red Robin costume. He tried to play it cool, maybe Phantom wouldn't know it was him.

"Red Robin, even if you didn't appear on the same spot as always, I can feel your soul. I know who you are."

"But wolfstar doesn't make any sense-" they're literally the moon and the stars, shut up.

remus has full body chronic pain, keeps dislocating his hip and shoulders, uses a forearm crutch, has chronic fatigue, gets chronic migraines, cracks all his bones (it freaks out the marauders and he finds it hilarious), regularly takes pain meds, has days he struggles to get out of bed, has the worst brain fog ever, random flare ups + activity flare ups

[mugwot]

rotating this crossover in my brain. again. i am not gonna say that the kitty is unlucky Because it is a black cat But. it sure is in situations often. lower are vague end-game Ghost Trick spoilers, go play the game! (or you know, watch a lets play) its short and sweet and has a good resent remaster for pc.

my current thought is that sissel got lost on a road trip? maybe fell through a portal? and is kinda stuck in the middle of nowhere usa. Shenanigans ensue. that happens when you have an increadibly powerful energy source stuck in a kinda defenceless body (not counting the time powers. which i am sure clockwork has nothing to say about and danny specifically doesnt have any negative experience with.)

Early KOTPOTA morning musings:

I just realized thanks to Raka pointing out how humans get cold in the movie, that Noa and Mae are the "having to cuddle for warmth" trope come to life.

I also firmly believe that Raka is the type of person to believe every fight can be solved with a good cuddle, so he would absolutely hide the blanket so that Noa and a freezing Mae have to cuddle and make up.

He would also make them do couples therapy after he finds out what that is.

Hey , I'm bored and I want to write a fan fiction of arcana but I didn't the ended the game , so I need someone to explain the lore of it .

[moonikabear]

so how about the fandom writes season 2 and the cast films it on their phones in someone's backyard and then roughly edits it all together? i can provide snacks and some badly made practical effects and set pieces. anyone up for making a new soundtrack?

[perksofbeingpoet]

they're on a train and they're going away.

"away to where, charlie", cameron urges, worry in voice and map in hand, "i don't think just getting on a train was a good idea, this could go who knows where-"

he's cut off by a loud whoop that is promptly whisked away by the rush of landscape outside the dusty train windows - a blur of stationtreetreetreehousetreehousehousesky. "WE'RE GOING AWAY!!!!"

meeks laughs. "keep it down, pittsie, don't want your old man hearing and dragging you off at the next station, do you?"

pitts smirks out the window. "i'd like to see him try."

"attaboy!" charlie tries and fails to tousle pitts' hair and turns the gesture into a half-convincing high five. "this is an adventure!"

cameron mutters something that sounds like "that's what they all say before they end up in the middle of texas with no money and too much ego", but the vibration of the train floor drowns it out.

"guys, i've found us seats!" neil grins at them, face so bright they're all a bit surprised it doesn't reflect in the windowpane like the ghost-torch the sun is in it.

"and i've found a window to yell out of!"

"gimme a go, pittsie-" neil shuffles in front of it, craning his neck to have his mouth by the opening that spills wind and train-track sounds. "I'M ALIVE!!!"

there's cheers and laughter and then knox appears by his side, eyes sparkling. "c'mon frankenstein, show us these seats. we have a long way to go."

they're on a train and they're going away.

Okay based off this hilarious post, I'm making a new poll to try to get legit answers.

[outromoony]

Remus: I love you.

Sirius: I love you more.

Remus: You're shorter than me and therefore your love capacity isn't as strong as mine. It is physically impossible for you to love me more.

[theblackstar04]

barty: crazy? i was crazy once, they locked me in a room, a rubber room, a rubber room with rats, and rats make me crazy

evan: ...

evan: i had my tongue down your throat five seconds ago and this is what you're saying?
