Slightly Crack Batfam AU
Duke, shortly after being adopted, finds an old demon summoning circle burned into the floor under a rug in one of the rooms.
That, combined with some of the literature he finds laying around, leads him to conclude that someone in his new family is secretly a demon and he starts trying to figure out who.
Could it be Bruce, the literal demon of the night?
Dick, who bends and flips effortlessly in ways no normal human could?
Jason seems the most likely, as he climbed out of his own grave, but to be fair, he'd never actually seen Tim sleep.
And then there was Damian.
He never would have guessed that the demon is actually Alfred, summoned by a desperate, distraught Bruce the night of his parents' deaths.
Originally, their deal was just for Alfred to help Bruce get his revenge.
The reason he stuck around, though?
He realized he needed to make sure that Bruce and his collection of equally crazy orphans stayed OUT of the afterlife (and therefore AWAY from the throne of hell, which he has no doubt someone would eventually take) and decided to stay on as their oddly perfect butler.
#batman#batfam#bruce wayne#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#damian wayne#duke thomas#nightwing#red hood#red robin#robin#signal#alfred pennyworth#i like coming up with new ways for Alfred to be immortal#he heals their life threatening injuries while playing them off as being lucky and scolding them for being reckless#'just a minor concussion master dick. be more careful next time'#meanwhile Duke had definitely seen Dick being brought in with his skull split open#Alfred gets calls from fellow demons#complaining about whichever bat is currently dead and causing problems#while Alfred just grumbles and pulls out a ressurection spell#Duke eventually just accepts this as yet another quirk of his new family

Dead Language Expert
Danny never thought that he could "major" in languages, and get a job as a translator. But apparently knowing all the dead languages by default and being able to time travel with the help of your ghost tutor was pretty useful outside of Amity.
It happened purely by chance, he was walking through a museum and started laughing because of a mistake in one of the sentences that completely changed the meaning of the text. The museum manager, of course, did not believe him, since many people had said that the piece was "impossible to translate". But he study it anyway.
Days later they were looking for him to translate all the things from that time. And he just carried on with it, in many more civilizations. In some cases he even asked for a few trips to the past to Clockwork to verify.
It got to a point where the wizards, heroes and villains over the world knew him as "the translator of dead languages" and some of them even tried to kidnap him to perform a summoning ritual. Danny rolled his eyes and easily freed himself, but the League assigned him an "escort" anyway.
Exasperated, the halfa escaped from his escorts and continued his work as normal. Superman almost fell out of his chair at the Watchtower meeting when he was informed that the boy had translated the language of Krypton and other missing planets. Besides having managed to lose both the Flash and Green Latern, what the fuck?
#dpxdc#Danny know all dead languages by default#is part of being a ghost#or part of being him#he's not sure#The museum manager asked him to translate and he accepted#he didn't expect the payment but it was good#so he ended working in translating#it was easy and he could time travel if he had any doubt#dp x dc#dc x dp#Justice League is worried about his knowledge#but he didn't do anything wrong#Danny is considering teaching at a university for fun#People think Danny is human and he didn't correct them#He also asked Clockwork for help so no one would notice his status as a halfa#Danny doesn't like being kidnapped but at this point in his life it's nothing more than a nuisance#while he could fight the summoning he really doesn't want to

Love was actually invented when Charles decided he'd rather be stuck in Hell than leave Edwin there alone
#edwin be like 'i'm stuck in hell' and charles like 'no WE're stuck in hell 💕'#platonic or romantic bro was ready for that road trip#find a lawyer that will argue your case the way charles argues edwin's#must mention crystal and niko also being ready to do anything to save edwin after only knowing him for like a week#edwin not only bringing all the boys to the yard but also the friends who would risk their existence for him#night nurse goes 'no one wants to go there' and charles is like 'challenge accepted'#dead boy detectives#charles rowland#payneland#paynland#spoiler warning#save dead boy detectives

The funniest thing to me about the trans Danny headcannon is when its paired with the Fentons finding out hes a ghost and trying to dissect him. Like Jack calls him "Danny boy" so obviously they're supportive and affirming. I bet they'd even make hormones for his HRT in their lab. I bet they'd even do his top surgery for him if he asked (which is really funny with the dissection thing, like this isn't the first time they've cut him open on their lab table but this time its malicious). They completely accept his gender identity, but as soon as he comes out as a ghost, he's as good as dead to them (hah).
It makes me think of those parents who are like "yeah you're gay and trans, that's fine, of course I love you. You're VEGAN?! YOUR MOTHER'S GOING TO CRY WHEN SHE FINDS OUT! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
#like obviously being half dead and being trans are very different things#but apparently their love and acceptance does have a limit and it turns out that limit is ghosts#danny phantom#hc#trans danny

show runners already said they want to put desire as an antag in season 2 and I am. not ready. if they pull another taunting Edwin with what he wants but can’t have while also being humiliated with this want. It was a cruel private thing with the cat king but to do it in front of Charles would be so mortifying for Edwin
or vise verse for Charles god���
#dead boy detectives#dbda#dbd#edwin payne#charles rowland#payneland#i need them to kiss#their friendship and the concept of friendship being enough is so so important to me but equally so is Charles being able to accept a part#of himself that he wouldn’t hate on anyone else but would be inferior and just another thing he can’t do right for himself#is this anything#I actually can’t take it if Charles has to watch Edwin get humiliated like that#And Edwin has to be humiliated while he watches

no one told me that the simone-karl plot from why women kill would rip my heart out and stomp it into little itty bitty pieces
#why women kill#im so late to this#but they mean so much to me#people talk about the beth ann plot being the best but like...#"please youre my best friend”... “its not enough”#turning into#“i want only you here”... “you're the love of my life”#but still in a plaTONIC WAY#where simone accepts the reality of their love and puts aside her pride and chooses to show up for karl#because hes her favorite person in the whole wide world even if they dont love each other romantically#and she cant imagine life without him#and then ends up...#and her devoting her life to...#bahhhhh im dead#literally deceased#~~like karl~~

i don't like putting homophobia in my fictional worlds so like when i think of bbc merlin i like to imagine uther as a classist anti-magic bigot but a hashtag ally. anyways i thought of a way to make homophobia make sense in canon without it being like. serious?
we know that true love is a force powerful enough to overpower any love spell so i think it's safe to say that love is the most powerful force in albion, above even magic. and this is smth i maybe made up but sex is a sacred thing in magic and to the druids. sex rituals happen all the time and the power from sex fuels spells to make them more powerful.
how would uther weaken the magical community? outlaw wlw and mlm relationships to that love and sex can't be used in magic. he couldn't outlaw love and sex entirely as men and women needed to have children to continue on the population. he uses the new religion to push that it's immoral to engage in mlm/wlw relationships and that's what arthur grew up hearing but he's known since he was a kid that he's gay so he has his own super deadly secret he can't let anyone know.
the druids never bend to uther's laws and continue their free love and that's why arthur is always sympathetic to their plight and hates when his father sends him to raid their camps because part of him feels like he's hurting his own people. it's also why uther is able to get away with attacking peaceful people without anybody bashing him for it - they have magic and they're immoral.
so uther has his anti-magic laws but also his anti-love laws
#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#worldbuilding#uther pendragon#gay arthur#hes so real to me#im sorry#that man is not a bisexual#hes gay. a homo. mlm.#fanfiction#fanfic#fic ideas#tw homophobia ment#i still dont like homophobia in my fictional worlds but the arthur angst with this is impeccable#merlin finds out about arthur's feelings for men and arthur expects disgust or horror and merlin is just like “lol same :]”#no he's a bit more genuine like#there's nothing wrong with that or with you. love and sex are just powerful when mixed with magic and your#father wanted to weaken those with magic so he outlawed the love and sex that he could. but its natural. there's nothing wrong with you.#anyways that starts arthur's path towards accepting magic and himself and thats why he repeals his father's hateful laws almost immediately#also merlin did say “same” after his whole speech and arthur wants to smooch him#can't smooch a man if he's dead for being pan and a sorcerer#merthur

We’re in one of the oldest fandoms where the canon itself is long lost and the source materials for us to draw inspiration from are those of the earliest fanfics themselves—two of which being commonly accepted as beta canon due to their top quality. Sometimes these fanfics contradict each other due to all sorts of OOCs and inconsistencies which is forcing us to choose our own sources to rely on to draw fanart and write fanfics. Each generation of fanfic writers are introducing more headcanons in their works and sometimes their fanfics of fanfics become so popular that they are prompting new sub-fandoms to emerge, inspiring more people to draw fanart and write fanfics for these fanfics of fanfics. It’s almost as if there is a family tree of fanfics and we’re now reaching the third generation and beyond
#from a Neoanalytic POV#tagamemnon#greek mythology#the epic cycle#the theban cycle#feels like this might’ve been said multiple times before but I’m now adding my voice anyway#and if anyone questions the validity of the fandomization of this#just remember that it’s the sense of community that brings together over two thousand years of people from all over the world#it’s a tradition that spans over centuries and is still expanding rapidly#the iliad#the odyssey#homeric epics#greek tragedy#the aeneid#metamorphoses#divine comedy#ulysses#hadestown#epic the musical#aristos the musical#I can go on but you can see how this goes#we have Greek fanfics and Roman fanfics and Renaissance fanfics and now modern fanfics#the difference being that the earlier they are written the more acceptable their headcanons are#in the end we’re all writing fanfics for a bunch of people long dead more than three thousand years ago#feeling a bit more at ease now aren’t you?#Lyculī crustula

Are we just not going to talk about the frankly amazing symbolic storytelling Dead Boy Detectives did with Edwin and the Cat King? No?
Shut up, I'm doing it anyway.
We see Edwin, a 16 year old boy from 1916 who never got the chance to ever grow to fully develop any sort of understanding of his emotions and love life, who is so repressed that even he isn't aware of it, being faced with a very openly sexual being who then badgers him into having to accept that maybe he likes the boy he's being hanging around for more than 30 years as more than just a 'best mate'. It's SO good. Seriously, the way Edwin is slowly able to become more and more comfortable around the Cat King and is able to face him with a KISS ON THE CHEEK at the end?? That's prime symbolic self-acceptance. The way Edwin is eventually able to come to terms with the fact that yes, this is something that he has wanted for a very long time and it has affected him, but thats okay is just so damn good, and him then dismissing the Cat King because he's finally accepted himself as more than just what he was when he was alive?? I CAN NOT DEAL IT'S SO 0ERFECTLY DONE
#dead boy detectives#edwin payne#the cat king#like the relationship between edwin and the cat king was uncomfortable and odd but the symbolic undertones were FAR TOO GOOD#i just#it was so well done#and edwin being able to accept himself and then admit that to charles is something i wont ever get over

#what if post dp3 logan struggles to emotionally accept that wade Will Actually For Real Survive Anything#and one time they are fighting some random baddies#and they somehow get in a few shots straight to wade's cranium and he drops like a bag of slutty slutty potatoes#and logan goes full berserker trying to get to him#like he just massacres everyone in his way and wade still isnt getting up ohnoohnoohnonotagainohno#(healing factor or no a few direct shots to the brain stem/t box take a bit to recover from)#(no more than five minutes but it's an eternity to logan)#and his heart sinks to the very core of the earth as he kneels down next to wade's body#and his hands are shaking and soaked in blood and he can't seem to sheathe his claws in his dazed adrenalined state#he tries to peel back wade's mask and fear is just *pounding* through his system because in that moment#all he can see are the xmen dead in massive pools of blood#and that feeling of unreality is rushing over him like thiscantbehappeningthiscantbehappeningnotagainohgodnotagain#wade's still and unresponsive and there is so Much BLOOD (hard to tell how much is Wade's and how much is just on his hands)#and logan doesn't even realize he's crying until suddenly wade's eyes light up like a computer restarting#and he's smiling and gasping and joking immediately#“well howdy there hot stuff what did I miss?”#and then he clocks that logan is Not Okay#“... well gee willikers golly goddamn peanut 'twas only a flesh wound! no need to go all waterworks over lil ol me”#“you know it would take a helluva lot more than that to make me shuffle off this here mortal coil!”#“see all better I'm hunky dory peachy keen right as fucking rain”#“I mean cmon I can't have been out for more than five minutes so let's just go back to you being exasperated with my bullshit antics okay??#“...okay sugarboobs? snookums? babycakes?.... Logan?”#and they just sit there on the floor holding each other for a while#wade babbling and logan crying about everything he's lost and wondering distantly how he has come to care so much#about this blithering jokester in like barely a week#that the thought of losing him brought him crashing back to the worst memory of his extremely rough life#anyway that's enough tag mini fic lolol I'm having feelings about my own drawing I guess 😵#poolverine#deadpool and wolverine#poolverine art

that one movie sinbad did about the genie
#my art#dc comics#shazam#captain marvel#billy batson#mary batson#mary bromfield#mary marvel#earth-101#me making the character whose name has gone through a bajillion changes and legal issues into a trans woman and a story of accepting onesel#and the pressure of transitioning and being trans as a public figure#and combining mary and billy into the same character at different points in her life#basically the bit is that kid billy transforms into an adult Woman superhero and is like. what's up with that.#hey wizard. why'd you make me a girl.#and the wizard's like. dead. so isn't able to explain.#and later on kid finds out that the powers transforms you into the idealized version of your self in your heart#and for this kid its a cool and strong lady#cue a lot of weird identity shit and name changes and struggles with self image and being like#''am i trans bc of being the captain or is the captain a woman because i'm trans. is this something i want or do i just feel obligate to.''#eventually big moment of self discovery and she comes out as a woman and changes her name to mary#maybe when she fully comes out she transforms by saying mary instead of shazam as a fun like. ''say my name'' to ''say YOUR name'' reversal#as a symbolic moment of oh. that's me :)#idk. i'm spitballin

“I want a kids cartoon with more diverse main character body types than just skinny teen” you guys couldn’t even handle Steven Universe
(Or Dead End Paranormal Park, or She-Ra)
#su is a wonderful introduction to diverse body types methinks. i mean the main character is literally a chubby boy#all other crystal gems have. yk. variety.#and yes it’s mildly dependant on their gem type but then you’ve got chrs like amethyst#who has a major character arc about not being like those around her and being ‘’wrong’’#part of which has to do with her body! she’s short and chubby and doesn’t look buff!! slowly seeing her accept that is great#steven universe#this is more so su focused but still#dead end paranormal park#she ra#she ra and the princesses of power#(also yes the skinny teen thing is abt amphibia#i know they eventually get aged up or whatever but all three still have the same body type to me#sasha having mildly more buff arms does not mean anything to me i’m sorry)#((toh also kinda falls under this tho don’t get me wrong#but at least its got willow. and hunter if you wanna count him as non-slim))
