Escaped clone au

You know all those fics where Danny and Damian are twins but everyone first assumes Danny must be a clone? How about an au where Danny is Damian's clone who escaped the League after he was assumed dead. Damian could even have been the one to have "killed" him, back when Danny was a newly created, fully brainwashed clone minion and trying to kill Damian himself.

Danny gets adopted by the Fentons and canon goes on as normal, until Dan. Witnessing what would happen to the world should he turn evil really drove home to Danny how dangerous he is.

Even if he was confident he could be trusted with his absurd amount of power (which he isn't), what if the League of Assassins found out about him? Does he still have programming triggers from his evil assassin clone conditioning?

So, Danny does the responsible thing: he goes to Batman to turn himself in.

Cue Danny showing up on Bruce's doorstep with ghost hunting equipment, intel on the afterlife, and an almost unbelievable backstory. Somehow he still managed to be more well-adjusted than Damian.

More thoughts under the read more

Here's how I'm thinking Danny leaving the League went down:

After surviving his wounds but failing his mission, Danny (then an unnamed potential Damian replacement) knew there was no point in returning to the League. As a failure, he was meant to be disposed of. He even thought of simply allowing himself to perish, since that was what the League would do.

But he couldn't help but feel as though that would be a waste of a resource. Surely he could be of more use to the League alive than dead?

That tiny bit of rebellious logic is what caused Danny to go into hiding, only living on based on the off chance he would find opportunities to further the League's goals. Obviously, that mentality didn't last long after being exposed to the real world and meeting one Jazz Fenton.

Being adopted by the Fentons was the best cover Danny could have asked for, since any odd behavior he couldn't hide while he was learning how to be "normal" was totally overshadowed by the sheer bizarre eccentricity of his new parents. He was still the neighborhood weird kid, but even that was a major upgrade from disposable tool, so Danny considered it a win.

Anyway, if anyone likes this idea, please feel free to have at it! Interpret it as you please :)

I think a lot about Leo’s tendency to push his way into the spotlight despite clearly being a natural in the shadows. Hell, you could argue that his worst moments are when he’s forcing himself onstage, and his best are when he does things no one notices until it’s already been done.

I have seen a few DCxMarvel dimension travel fics, and quite a few of them are of them are Peter Parker post-blip. Which gives me a crack fic idea: everyone who got snapped ended up in the DC universe. Yes, all of them.

The current world population is around eight billion, so half of that would be 4 billion... Yeah that would cause so so so many problems. But the DC universe is used to crazy shit.

Obviously there would be a sudden influx of "new" heroes and villains but with absolutely no context it is hard to figure out who is who.

Batman immediately trying to make contingency plans for all these new heroes and villains as well as figure out their civilian identities but this is very difficult because literally no records exist yet.

Magic users from both worlds team up, but I think they were still unable to fix it, the infinity stones were just too powerful. Also I think Dr. Strange and Constantine can't stand each other.

While I am at it, Wonder Woman and Loki would probably hate each other too. DC is more Greek but it has had their own version of Norse mythology, so maybe they are the same and have beef?

They would struggle to feed and house that many new people, but getting them jobs and integrating them into society would be hard too. And good luck proving anything anyone says. "You swear you have a law degree from Harvard? Okay I guess."

Do doubles exist? Yeah a lot of people probably don't have an alternate universe double, but it stands to reason some do. How do you deal with having a new kind-of twin? Or a dead friend or relative coming back, but different? Or even someone you never knew/doesn't exist in this world insisting they are family.

Some au double ideas I have seen people toss around are: Dick Grayson as Richard Parker, Kara Danvers as Carol Danvers, Steve Trevor as Steve Rogers, and Slade Wilson as/being somehow related to Wade Wilson, but I am sure there are other fun ideas out there too.

The snap didn't just affect humans/earth! So other planets are having the same problems.

Then randomly, five years later, just when people were getting used to the change, they all disappear again without warning. This causes as many problems as the original appearance did.

What other dogs breeds are you favourites?

I love standard poodles and labradors!

Apart from sighthounds (and I don't own any of these photos, just showing them for demonstration purposes)

I've always had a soft spot for Dobermans!

They often make me sort of sad though. To my understanding they have a lot of severe hereditary illnesses, and they're a type of breed that tends to attract bad owners. I also can't in good conscience support cropping and docking, even though I agree that they contribute to the iconic look of the breed.

Sled dogs are cool, Greenland dogs/Canadian inuit dogs/Qimmit/Qimmiq in particular.

I like hairless dogs a lot, they're very charming.

A lot of livestock guardian breeds have very pleasing shapes, even though they're not the type of dog I'd ever get myself. This one's a Central Asian Ovtcharka/Alabai/Tobet.

And this is a Kangal.

Yakutian laikas have the most intense markings.

Huskies are fun for the same reason, especially when they have particularly striking and unusual faces.

And I think lop eared scenthounds are endearing, but to be perfectly honest there's a lot of visually similar breeds and I can't tell them apart all that well. These are Poitevin hounds, they have long slender faces and this sort of smoky eye look going on.

But dogs are just neat in general, I'm not very particular about breeds.

28 with maxoscar mayhaps? 💖

28. feeling the rumble of their chest when they talk while cuddling

"Honestly I just hit the curb too hard on the exit of turn four, and then I had to correct that, and then you know how the car is in sector three. I mean, well, you don't, but I told you how we're like slower in the high speed corners, right? Anyway, pretty much lost my lap by then."

Max hums, snuggled up into Oscar's side, feeling the rumble in his chest as he talks his way through his qualifying laps. They're in Max's appartment, his living room, having only just come home from a Grand Prix weekend. It's been a long one, a weird one, and so they've barely had time to talk through their respective weekends.

But it's nice now, cuddled up in a place Max is starting to see more and more like home, now that it's slowly getting filled up with Oscar's stuff. The mug they bought at the Hungary Airport, right after Oscar's first win, that's found it's place in Max's kitchen cupboards. The hoodies that have found their way into Max's closet. A book Oscar's been reading, propped up on his coffee table.

It feels right. It feels good.

As Oscar talks his way through his second Q3 lap, the one that eventually ended up with him in a respectable third place, Jimmy and Sassy jump their way up on the couch, snuggle their way into the little pile of humans already there.

Max lets out a content sigh, rubs his hand over Jimmy's back, and Oscar does an animated rendition of the last three corners, face lighting up in a way that makes Max want to kiss him all over.

Home, he thinks.

Mcsmtober- Day 4: Character+Mob

Enderman Soren!! Stylised the enderman aspects cause it’s more fun.

This is actually an AU I’ve been thinking about for the past few days(idk if this has been done before, but I at least hope my au sounds original). Basically, if the order fell out sooner, and Soren spent a lot longer in the end, what effect would that have on him? My answer, he slowly turns into an enderman! When Jessie and co come to get him almost 30 years after his disappearance, he’s lost most of his humanity and memory. Because he isn’t able to make the formidabomb, it takes the gang a lot longer to kill the witherstorm, and they turn to Ivor for help to turn Soren back.

I’ll probably make more about this AU at some point, but I’m happy to finally get this idea down on paper

4, if it so pleases you!

4. Everything Machine - half•alive

This song is also fourth on the DBHC Etho playlist! I guess now is as good a time as any to Officialize that Last Life is now canon to the dbhc au!!! Yayyyy SFVJDFKJ uhh yeah. This song is very literal in that I think Etho sees himself as responsible for being that perfect machine for bdubs? And being good at what he does, and vowing to be there for bdubs… when of course, in the end, he’s really not there for bdubs, is he.

No lasting trauma with that one, I’m sure

[setevulpo]

okay but how do you think the cat king felt after edwin got dragged to hell? or when esther kidnapped him?

beyond what we see, i mean.

because edwin did warn him that the caging spell (and by extension, them staying in town) was dangerous. like it was one of the first things he said about the spell. the cat king says it's a caging spell, explains it will keep him in town, and edwin's exact quote is "unacceptable, kindly remove it. we cannot stay here. it is dangerous."

and then that danger was proven to be incredibly real, first when the night nurse finds them, then when hell caught him and dragged him back, then when esther caught him and tortured him.

i mean, the cat king had to know that all of this was related to the spell, right?

Watched sepang 2011 moto2 fp1 followed by qualification and now I am absolutely devastated. screaming crying throwing up etc. etc. (the following write-up aka. me ever so slightly losing my mind over how Marc Marquez's 2011 season ends)

That weekend was so cursed it's unbelievable. Not even two minutes into the fp1 session the camera cut to the turn 10 gravel trap and then there was two riders occupying the place. The first one was Jules Cluzel, who was thankfully already up and was not hurt. Marc was the second one and oh boy, was he NOT fine. He laid there on his back for what felt like minutes, camera focusing on him almost THE WHOLE TIME. I. am. sick. to my stomach!!!

Not a moment later another bike (or two actually, but one of them was off camera) came crashing in, Marc was still on the ground, just out of the hit range. It was Yonny Hernandez (who looks to be fine. he raced the next day but was black-flagged) and Bradley Smith, who ended up with a broken collarbone + bruised ribs and was forced to be out of the race altogether. His injuries were caused by him getting thrown directly into Marc's bike. How unlucky was that??? The cause of all these crashes? A WET. FUCKING. PATCH. I reeallly meant it when I say that weekend was fucking cursed (and on sunday. we all know what happened on sunday...)

I was already regretting my choice to watch it at this point but just like watching a trainwreck, I couldn't stop.

And then I saw the team's reaction (full on regret. hits like a brick)

The icing on the cake? the whole session did not have any commentary. Just pure ambient noises, bike engines, staff radios, people rushing around the track. The whole scene was so eerie, I could not imagine watching this live.

The way they were running out from the pit, almost entirely abandoning it to (presumably) check on Marc at the medical center? gut punched.

The famous shot of Marc after medical check-up. Already a pro at slutty suffering at the tender age of eighteen. (I was about to throw up, so thank you I guess? how he was just out there, looking beautiful in this state was beyond my comprehension)

Marc missed all the sessions following fp1 (3 in total) but he did joined in for qualification session the next day. There was commentating for this and they mentioned that he was still a little dizzy this morning, his neck and left shoulder was not doing great either. Of course Marc being Marc he still wants to at least try to qualify and maybe, race. For context, he was just 3 points off the lead and not participating in this race means he will lose the championship, which in the end, he did.

It didn't last long. Marc was back in the box after just one qualifying lap.

Back in the box, Santi and Emilio was immediately all over him. The commentators DID pick up that there was something seriously wrong as normally only Santi (crew chief) would be present to talk about technical stuff that needs to be done and such, and not Emilio (manager). They discussed, things did not look good. With the gift of hindsight we can see that Marc was clearly informing them about his eye problem (which we know was diplopia later on) not to mention his other injuries to neck and left shoulder that was probably bothering him.

He has to leave the box shortly after. The commentators said they were hoping that he will be feeling better in the morning of race day, and also that Marc losing the championship was “inconceivable” before the fp1 crash*. There’s no such luck, unfortunately.

*mind you, he already have another big (very reckless and very much his own fault) crash from prior week with Ratthapark Wilairot in phillip island resulting in his blackeye but that was not enough to hindered his performance.

Marc watching the sunday race from the sidelines, no longer able to participate in this and following race.

And just to add even more (like anyone needed it, jesus christ) to the cursed factor of this weekend, Axel Pons suffered a massive crash during the race, resulting in a red flag. He also, was not fit for the next race.

God. That's it. That's the end of his 2011 season. From a crash that was in no way, shape or form, his fault. The circuit was later fined for not displaying yellow flag to warn riders of a wet patch on the track.

He could've won. HE COULD HAVE WON. HE COULD HAVE BEEN A MOTO2 WORLD CHAMPION IN HIS ROOKIE YEAR!!!!! I must repeat that at the time he was 3 POINTS AWAY FROM THE LEAD and has more or less been DOMINATING the whole season. He was on the podium for every races that he has finished and was on a streak. I am convinced he could have easily done it if not for the unfortunate accident.

But all he got out of it was second place in the championship (which we all know he won't accept in his mind. at least back then) and a diplopia problem that would still haunts him more than ten years later...
