"The Wonderful World of Jazz:" Exploring John Lewis' 1961 Masterpiece
Introduction: John Lewis, best known for his work with the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ), carved out a significant niche for himself in the jazz world with his sophisticated compositions and distinctive piano style. One of his most rewarding endeavors outside the MJQ is the album “The Wonderful World of Jazz,” released in 1961. This album not only showcases Lewis’ prowess as a pianist and composer…

I desperately need more mentor uncle figures and mentor brother figures in DPxDC to fill the interesting relationship dynamic gap that father figures stories can't always fill are u picking up what I'm putting down. Hell, just a regular friendship relationship with absolutely 0 familial dynamic.
#the amount of fun relationships that could happen but dont bc everyone wants their boss to be their father figure is fine but saddens me#i plan to write a bunch more non father figure prompts in the near future but MAN OH MAN do yall KNOW#so to the 15 replies of “make the change you wanna see in the world” people: Im doing that alrighty yall im doing my bestttt#just how fun a brother like tim drake mentorship or a auntlike wonder woman relationship with Jazz to be????#the possibilities are endless!!!!#or just make them friends??? idk why there’s genuinely so little friendship fics with Bruce and Danny#bones speaks#dpxdc#dp x dc#danny phantom#I forgot to add this but additionally no romantic relationship ones! none of these are bad but it could be fun to flex other#writing muscles yk? try some fun platonic relationship dynamics out

Prompt 281
I had a wonderful Ghosts are Dragons idea thanks to @fairy-lights-and-blobs
Nocturne, the great feathered wyvern of dreams, son of Morpheous, created of the sands of dreams itself, might be a bit, oh what’s the word, stumped. He had been twisting through the smog of the living world, and honestly should have been unseen. Keyword being should.
Because?
There’s a tiny? Hatchling? Growling at him when he slips into a warehouse, having been searching for a… misplaced item. And he says it with a question mark because? This is a hatchling, he knows his own senses, but they’re also… seemingly stuck in a human form.
Dear Dreams, this is worse than how Phantom was- and he had been so injured from too much ecto at formation, even for a baby Primordial, that… Ugh, Nocturne wants to slam his horns against the ground repeatedly.
Alright tiny red hatchling, let him just scoop you up aaand… alright, off to the Zone to see doctors, because really, he wasn’t expecting to get another child, but he’s also not going to just leave the equivalent of a chronically sick toddler!
Jason, currently Red Hood? No clue what the Fuck is happening, he just got kidnapped by an overgrown owl-lizard thing! And his comms are out and genuinely what the fuck-
#Prompts#DCxDP#DPxDC#Ghosts are Dragons#Nocturne is acting as Team Phantom’s ghost parent#And now as Jason’s too because it’s like coming across a feral toddler with a lung infection#Either the batfamily or the crime alley goonion is freaking out about Hood getting taken by *SOMETHING*#Like they heard CrackleHissPurrCracksofBoneAndWindsofSand & then their boss/brother/son is just GONE#Comm? Down. Trackers? Gone.#Meanwhile big wyvern Nocturne is wondering if he’s cursed/blessed because this is the SIXTH sick hatchling in the living world he’s found#Ghosts are very all for All-Flock-members-care-for-babies orientated#Nocturne’s babies from oldest to youngest: Jazz Val Tuck Sam Danny Ellie#And then they can’t tell with Jason until his sickness can be fixed- and no it doesn’t have to do with the Pits

Fenton Street Food
"You know what's better than being a superhero? A street food vendor! Yes, superheroes can save the day, stop villains and receive hatred or admiration as the case may be, but a street vendor? They are at the heart of the action, fulfilling their dreams! They traveled the world feeding the masses, and even met superheroes, feeding them to keep them doing their duty, food carts are the centerpiece of keeping the heroes alive, they are the heroes..."
Maybe if Danny repeated it enough times he'd start to believe it, though seeing the monstrosity that was the Fenton food cart he highly doubted it. More so because it had fucking guns hidden next to the mutant and very alive Hot dogs (which by the way were not sellable, they were the mascots of the brand).
It all started when Jack Fenton talked about his dream of delivering his favorite food around the world, that fueled Maddie Fenton's idea, and since Jazz was in college and Danny was on vacation no one could stop them.
Soon Danny became a victim of his parents' eccentricities. Although the halfa had to admit that selling in Gotham was a lot of fun, thieves didn't think it was worth mugging him and the Rogues themselves bought his food of dubious origins.
It was almost a shame to have to change cities because Batman was getting too suspicious but Metropolis was waiting for him. And he would be back eventually; some bats who had enjoyed his strange roving food stall had waved him off with handkerchiefs, wiping away fake tears. Danny appreciated it.
Besides, Red Robin affirmed to him that he would recommend him to Superboy, so he wouldn't run out of customers anytime soon. He wondered if he should stop by Central City, the Flash Family ate a lot didn't they?
#dpxdc#The Fentons create another dubious business#Danny is the victim#technically Danny is a good chef#he learned from Jazz to cook as well as possible with the little they had available#which was very useful to survive at the Fenton house#And apparently it's also useful for being the face of the Fenton food cart#His parents tried to help at first but he kicked them out and took over the car#Danny didn't want dead customers#the Fenton food cart travels all over the world#offering food at low prices#dp x dc#dc x dp#Danny wonders what he's doing with his life at this point#his parents got bored of the food cart and left him alone while they went back to the lab#Danny doesn't know whether to be grateful or cry in frustration#maybe he will do both

DP X DC Prompt: The New King's Fright Knight
Clockwork tells the newly crowned High King Phantom that he needs to name a Fright Knight to serve and protect him. The title comes with responsibilities and benefits. The Fright Knight must defend the King and fight challenges by the King's side. If a challenger can't defeat the King's Fright Knight than they have no right to challenge the King.
Among the benefits of the Title are a custom weapon that can take any form the Knight desires and is capable of sending any injured by the weapon to a dimension under the Knight's control and design. It could be a realm of nightmares or a realm of cotton candy, or anything in between as the Knight desires.
Danny, of course, being some what infamous for saying the first thing on his mind immediately blurts out a name when Clockwork asks him to think of the person who makes him feel the safest.
The newly named Fright Knight gets immediately summoned into the Ghost Zones to be offered the job, no matter where they were or what they were doing.
#dp x dc#danny fenton#clockwork#fright knight#there are so many ways this could go#my first thought was Jazz as fright knight#she's done so much to keep him safe over the years#but it would also work so well for the DC heroes#maybe one of the batboys#either boyfriend#secret twin#or maybe long lost brother#it could the Bat himself#Danny doesn't even have to have a relationship with the hero in question#just someone who makes him feel safe#so he could summon superman or wonder woman simply because he feels safer with them taking care of world ending threats#just whoever it is gets summoned into the ghost zone with no warning#then appears whenever Danny is in extreme danger#could you imagine Fright Knight Redhood threatening Batman and the JL?#badass

There is truly nothing more exhilarating than rereading old fic notes and going "DAMN this is good."
(That, and also laughing out loud at your own jokes.)
#i talk#fic talk#primordial robot hell#Rereading this exchange between Ratchet and Jazz I wrote ages ago and A) Damn I wrote Jazz so well#B) Jazz and Ratchet's dynamic is so funny#C) This is like PEAK writing why the heck did I never finish this#(I say knowing damn well I was working on this when the pandemic started)#No wonder I got so burnt out#Me working on a fic about Transformers that is a thinly-veiled criticism of politics and a bunch of other social injustices#during a very terrible time for the world with many horrific social and political things going on PLUS a pandemic and lockdown like#''Huh! I wonder why I feel burnt out working on this''#Bruh#The writing style is so good though what the heck. I miss writing like that#I need to reread my older stuff more#I reread a few chapters of ''Change In All Things Is Inevitable'' and it's definitely a bit too long-winded and wordy in parts#but it's still good#Meanwhile this (unfinished) fic is concise well written and funny as heck#and I think I did a better job expressing a lot of these thoughts#Granted I did have the entirety of ''Change In All Things Is Inevitable'' to work on it / figure out the style I wanted for that fic#I definitely want to return to this now this is genuinely really good#and I can see why; even when completely burnt out; I still desperately wanted this fic to be written

What a wonderful world (Louis Armstrong) Jazz
youtube
Louis Armstrong was active before the American Civil Rights Movement, which must have been a hellish time for black people. The fact that he was able to sing such a hopeful song at such a time shows how strong and supple his spirit is. I'm a big fan of this song. A song like a miracle.
What a wonderful world(ルイ・アームストロング)ジャズ
ルイ・アームストロングが活躍していたのは、アメリカの公民権運動以前、黒人にとっては地獄のような時代であったはず。そんな頃に、このような希望に満ちた曲を歌えたということ自体、彼の精神の強靭さ、またしなやかさを感じる。私は、この曲の大ファンである。奇跡のような曲。

The Legacy of Louis Armstrong: Exploring His Complex Journey in A Wonderful World Musical
The Legacy of Louis Armstrong: A Broadway Journey Growing up in England during the vibrant 1950s and ’60s, Christopher Renshaw couldn’t escape the influence of Louis Armstrong. “He was an icon for me as a child,” Renshaw reflected. “He was just there — always smiling, always funny.” However, when Renshaw, known for directing acclaimed productions like the 1996 Broadway rendition of The King and I…
