DPXDC Prompt #142 Part 2

His parents had spent years working on their portal, to the point where they were neglecting their own children. Danny didn’t know any better, neither did Jazz. To them it was just how their family ran and for the most part it worked for them. It allowed Danny to really study space and the Stars. His room was covered with different ship models on the shelves, glow in the dark stars on the ceiling and posters on the walls.

Jazz had similarly explored her own thoughts and topics as she studied Psychology. Her room was more feminine but still had a certain scientific decorum to it.  

He never thought that he’d suddenly be ripped from all the things he loved. But here he was with the trench coat man, instead of taking some biology class or something.

“What happened with the portal?” Danny asked.

The man took a long sigh, “listen… quite a lot of shit went down after your accident.” 

“That tells me nothing,” Danny glared at the man.

“I get your upset kid, but let me at least know your name. Mine's John Constantine,” 

“…Danny,” Danny muttered after a moment. He wasn’t sure he trusted the man but he guessed he had no choice. He was also noticing he felt a bit off, it was the weirdest gut feeling and Danny was having trouble telling exactly what the feeling was. It was like the feeling was telling him to trust John, although at the same time John had this weird feeling about him that had Danny feeling weary. He decided to trust John just a little, hopefully it got him back home, after a moment Danny spoke again, “…Can you at least tell me if the portal worked?”

The room was silent for a moment and then John spoke “Alright, fine, I’ll tell you what happened but some background first, do you know who the ancients are?” 

The name didn’t sound familiar, “Ancients? Like Ancient Aliens or something?” 

“No, no…” John took a swig from a flask in his pocket and then started fiddled with an unlit cigarette he pulled from a different pocket. He then looked Danny up and down, “You don’t know the first thing about the infinite realms do you?”

“The what?” None of this was making any sense and the more Danny talked to this guy the more he was getting a feeling of dread in the pit of his stomach. Something about this conversation felt wrong, like Danny should know all of this already but he just didn’t. 

“Right well… I guess the easiest way to explain this is the portal your parents made was to the infinite realms.” John said, putting the cigarette in his mouth.

“My parents called it the Ghost Zone.” Danny muttered.

John seemed to chuckle at that, “I mean it is mainly inhabited by ghosts, however they aren’t the only ones, far from it in fact. I’m sorry but… I couldn’t allow your parents unlimited access to the realms. I had to disable it and prevent it from being reactivated.”

Danny felt a little disheartened after hearing that, he guessed John was probably right though. He remembered hearing his parents talk about how they’d dissect every ghost they found to study them. The bully’s at his school often bullied Danny over it especially after his dad and mom would continually embarrass him on parent teacher nights and on field trips.

Danny let out a small sigh, “so when can I go home?”

John looked a little surprised, his eyebrow quirked up, “so you're unaware of your situation right now?”

“Situation?” Danny trailed off, he remembered getting shocked and then he remembered waking up here, “where are we?”

John let out another sigh, “shit, well from my research you're supposed to know everything about your powers when you wake up.”

This made no sense to Danny, powers? Danny didn’t have powers, he didn't have the meta-gene.

“Powers? I don’t have the meta-gene. I think you have the wrong person.” Danny stated as he folded his arms in front of himself.

“Then how are you floating?” John asked with a smirk.

Danny looked down and he indeed was floating just an inch off the bed, he wondered when that started but the feeling threw him off a little as he stumbled a little trying to keep himself upright. It didn’t work and he fell back down on the bed with a little thud. He turned to see John watching him with a small hint of amusement in his eyes. 

“What am I?” Danny asked, his voice small and a little panicked.

“You, Danny Fenton, are an Ancient. I know the term makes it seem like you're old but the term is more because your people are ancient in age.” The explanation made no sense to Danny but he could somehow float now. He thought the term ‘Ancient’ was a little much for some floating powers.

warning: long idea that came from u so u deserve to hear about it

was ranting to my sister about ur sketches cuz i fell in love with them and they are hitting at like 3 obsessions at once so points for u-

anyway I talked about the fenton creep stick (the joker panel) and my sister (who never watched dp) asked what it was, and after a confusing explanation we decided that a fenton creep stick can be any kind of object that is 1) long and swingable (like a crowbar or even a pipe) and 2) sturdy and not easily breakable

after being in the phandom I saw a lot of headcannons that after the ghosts appeared, the fentons started doing speeches at Casper, and they gave out fenton creep sticks "to be safe" or that the fentons sell those to Amity Parkers (THEY'RE NOT GUNS so they can do it) so pretty much everyone has one

adding those ideas to the fact that my sister thought at first that the stick had something to do with CREEPS (like pedos or stalkers cuz of the name) I now imagine the most famous design of fenton creep stick to be one of those stun sticks (that can not only be used on ghosts, but actual creeps!!!)

enjoy this idea cuz it sure gave me joy

asdfghjkl anon your brain wrinkles are amazing that idea is so funny to me. The anti-creep sticks are advertised all over town and it’s treated the same as a McDonald’s ad. No one really gives a shit but they still take note when there’s something new out.

And if you wanted to throw in the supervillain AU, I imagine it would go like this:

[babymorte]

my shirt is tetris 😀

[specialtysacrifice]

If young (early seasons) Mac met current Mac he'd be so fucking psyched about how yolked and massive he is and immediately wanna go out and do dumbass stunts and schemes. They'd be hanging out and he'd be bossing current Mac around but I think he'd feel like somethings off. Eventually maybe current Mac would like, go to the Rainbow and young Mac would tag along and be totally unaware because, hey, young Mac goes to the rainbow sometimes and he's totally straight, so it makes sense future him still goes. Plus gay guys always love his physique, so. And current Mac would have to spell it out to young Mac and tell him he's gay. Young Mac would probably be confused and just make a weird work around in his brain that'd explain why current Mac is gay but not him. And before he can spiral too much, he sees how Mac acts around Dennis and the gang and gets so pissed off and belligerent he doesn't give a shit abt the gay thing anymore and lunges at current Mac out of sheer anger at the total jabronie infront of him.

I think neeting young Mac would fix current Mac.

[turnipoddity]

yo this is a random ass question but have you ever watched creep (2014)?

cause i watched it tonight and im paranoid asf now 🥰

idk why im asking im just curious lol :3

I LOVE CREEP!!!!!!!! One of my favorite horror movies!!! and my comfort movie 🥰

[krizariel]

For whatever reason I keep going angsty routes…

(Jaytim engame with unrequited jaydick)

Jay who had a crush on Dick that went from admiration/jealousy to big ass crush that persisted even after he came back from the dead, guns blazing and angry. Once his anger and frustrations about Bruce settled down his crush for the first Robin remained strong even though Dickie just saw him as a little brother. Still, he knows he’d do anything for him. Anything to erase that sad frown on his face. Even go, apologize to the replace- ahem, Tim, try to make amendments and at least befriend him, keep an eye on him and help Dickie get closer to Tim again. Dickie feels guilty for taking Robin away from Tim but he did not have a better option, Damian needed him….problem is, Tim needed him too. He knows that now. He wants to fix it… but he doesn’t know how to get closer to Tim anymore, not with the animosity between Damian and Tim on the way.

So, seeing Dickie so heartbroken about how his relationship with Tim has deteriorated after he gave Robin to Damian, then the Bruce Quest and then Tim being mostly on his own base of operations, Jason offers to help. How? The hell if he knows he just knows he hates seeing Dick that way and the replacement needs to understand the demon brat needed guidance. He is an assassin yes but still a kid.

So, Jason, the good samaritan he is(?), walks in to make amends with Tim…he owed him that much to be fair, try to befriend him and find a way to make a bridge between Tim and Dickie. Problem is he made a few miscalculations: it was somehow easy to approach Tim, easy to get to know him if you actually tried (the man wasn’t hiding, no one cared nor took the time to look), easy to understand how unfair it all was for him as well, easy to fall for his little quirks, easy to realize how similar they were at the fundamental level.

Would’ve been nice if he realized Tim had a crush on him before he went and absolutely smashed Tim’s heart when he realized Jason had a crush on Dick and only approached Tim in the first place because he wanted to help Dickie get his other little brother back.

It would also have been nice if he realized earlier how hard he had fallen for Tim.

Vigilante Pasta AU Timeline

PART FOUR

2008

MARCH: Masky has heard of Sally before, but now he actually meets her. He is calm and gentle in speaking with her and introducing himself and starts to gradually build trust with her. He brings her toys and watches funny videos on his phone with her when he's able, so the kid doesn't have to feel so alone all the time.

APRIL: Jack Robinson has lived a fairly uneventful life so far. He graduated high school with honors, got his four-year college degree, and moved on to medical school. He excelled at his studies and was determined to help as many people as he could. After all these years, he was soon to become one of the world's youngest neurosurgeons, and he'd studied other areas of medicine in addition to his main path in hopes of helping even more people. One night, he leaves to take a late walk through the park to clear his mind and relax. He starts to feel watched, but he sees nobody and hears only the wind through the trees. Out of nowhere he's struck in the head from behind and loses consciousness. Neither he nor anyone living know occurred from that point to when he woke in the woods and found himself to no longer be human. His memories from his human life faded fast, and the harder he tried to remember them the foggier they became. Though he still remembered his medical training, and regardless of his inability to work in a hospital he still intended to use his skill to help others wherever he could.

JUNE: Vinny's door is left unlocked one night; his abuser had been entertaining a visiting sister and forgotten about it in his rush. Dollmaker has full control by now and has repressed Vinny. Dollmaker takes a pink glass eye from a doll head on a shelf and forces it into his own socket while smashing the real eye in the process. He needs something beautiful to see in his face. He leaves the room and finds a screwdriver left on the kitchen counter. He creeps upstairs in the dark to his abuser's bedroom and stabs the man to death with the tool. He hears a gasp behind him and sees the man's sister staring at him in horror. Dollmaker follows her as she backs away toward the hall and sets upon her, ending her life as well. He sees such beauty in her face; this woman becomes the first doll he creates, haphazardly using the tools around him to that end.

SEPTEMBER: Helen is mainly left alone when he's painting and has started to work on paintings of himself as a man, like he wants to be. He hides these paintings behind ones of landscapes when he hears footsteps approaching in the hall to keep them secret from his parents. One day he becomes so focused on finishing the details of one of his hidden self-portraits that he doesn't hear his mother approaching. When she sees the painting, she angrily slaps him across the face and her sharp acrylic nails cut his cheek. While she begins fussing over the scar it might leave and begins looking for a first aid kit, Helen stares at the drops of his blood that landed on the painting. The two most noticeable ones are over his eyes, and while they aren't quite even enough for his tastes, he still finds himself wiping more blood from the cut in his face and using it to paint a smile over the portrait's mouth. His mother returns to patch up the injury and he says nothing as she takes a moment to destroy his artwork first.

OCTOBER: Jane succeeds in finding Jeff and begins to attack him. He doesn't remember who she is, partially because of her changed appearance and partially because he tried to block out his memories of that period of his life. Once she reminds him and angrily explains why she's there to kill him, Jeff lets go of his knife and falls to his knees. He apologizes to Jane for what he did, sincerely, and tells her that if she wants to tear him apart, he understands and he won't stop her. They have a brief conversation during which Jane remembers how insane Jeff looked that night, and some part of her sees that Jeff as a different person than the one in front of her. She hesitantly forgives him, but still wants nothing to with him. She leaves and decides to devote her life to vigilante work as well.

NOVEMBER: Helen decides to cut his hair short for the second time in his life in the middle of the night while his parents sleep. He had soaked his light pink painter uniform in blue dye from his art station the night before, and now changed into the dyed navy fabric. He put on a blank white mask that he hadn't used in a former project and picked the lock on his door. He approached his parents' room and stabbed them both to death where they slept. The last thing his mother saw was him using a single finger to draw a smile in her blood on the lower half of his mask. He left that night with a few paintbrushes and other supplies after leaving a bloody mural of himself – his true, male self, on their bedroom wall.

DECEMBER: Jane meets Kate in the woods on accident and takes an instant dislike to her crass and callous attitude. The two argue, but don't fight because they are technically on the same side, and it would be a pain to build bad blood through violence like that. However, they each decide after their first meeting that they dislike each other and do not want to interact any more than they have to.

2009

MARCH: Dina manages to escape her room one evening, with the long sleeves and unfastened straps of the straight jacket trailing behind her in the hall; she's heard her mother is in the hospital recovering from an illness and assumes her father is asleep. She creeps into the study and takes the sword down, marveling at how smooth and lightweight it is in her grip. She plans to leave this place tonight and never return. As she walks toward the side door of the house, she hears a woman's laughter. She peeks into the den to see her father, the supposedly honorable judge, is cheating on her mother while she's sick. Enraged by the hypocrisy, Dina decapitates them both before escaping into the night.

MAY: Jonathan has been alone and depressed for so long. He sees no reason to keep going. He's become numb to the world and decides to surrender himself to the void. He closes his eyes on a noose, and never opens them again. His spirit, however, does not sleep. His wandering soul with glowing eyes of gold can feel every emotion the living around him feel, and for the first time in years he is no longer numb.

SEPTEMBER: Eyeless Jack finds an abandoned medical complex and takes up residence in building 1609. After clearing it out and gathering supplies there, he declares it his MedLab and offers medical assistance to anyone who wanders in needing it. The first to show up are Jane and Clockwork; Clockwork had sustained an injury to her side and met Jane shortly after, and Jane had helped her get to the only medic they were aware of. Clockwork was bedridden there for a while, and she, Jack, and Jane all started getting to know each other well.

DECEMBER: Kagekao has been performing his pranks before his kills, and this catches the interest of Candy Pop. Pop first introduces Kagekao to Cane, then eventually Laughing Jack. Before long, Kagekao has a standing invite to the Carnival and the Candy Circus and is a regular fixture amongst the Carny Pastas.

2010

FEBRUARY: Dina has been travelling and murdering almost indiscriminately. After killing a drug addict in a derelict multi-floor building, the cracked floor gives way and drops her two stories to the ground level. She falls unconscious and wakes up in a bed with her wounds bandaged. She finds her sword on a nightstand next to the bed and struggles painfully to stand and grab it. She leaves the unfamiliar bedroom and finds that she's in an abandoned church that's been stripped of its religious artifacts and décor. She enters the nave and holds on to a pew to steady herself. On the pulpit she sees a man with short hair in a blue uniform. His back is to her as he paints on the canvas in front of him, though the art is blocked from her view by his head. There are finished paintings posted on easels all around him, many depicting beautiful landscapes. She approaches curiously, and the man is alerted to her presence when she stubs her toe on the edge of a pew and swears. He puts down his brush and turns to look at her, and she sees that he's painting a picture of her. She would've called him a creep and chewed him out over it if it weren't for the way he'd painted her eyes. The portrait version of her didn't have pools of ink in her sockets, but small sections of night sky with sparkling stars swirling in their depths like heavenly glitter. Nobody had ever seen beauty in her eyes before. The artist's name was Helen, and he spoke with a calm, soft voice and stoic face. She found his presence acceptable, and they got to talking. Eventually they decided to travel together.

AUGUST: Jeff stumbles across his brother, Liu, after hearing rumors that he is alive and in the vigilante game. He tries to talk to his brother only to be confronted with Liu's split personality, Sully, who despises and attempts to kill him. Jeff cannot die, and Sully is enraged by this. Liu struggles for control to prevent Sully from killing Jeff, and the two part ways to event more bloodshed.

2011

JUNE: Helen meets Jonathan (now going by 'Puppeteer') on his travels, and they have a lot of common ground and get along well. Eventually Helen introduces the Puppeteer and Dina, and while Dina is guarded and suspicious at first they eventually start to get along decently as well.

NOVEMBER: Jason and the Puppeteer cross paths and start to get to know each other. Their first meeting is brief as they are both busy with other things at the time, but other visits follow and their personalities mesh well together.

2012

JANUARY: Helen has found a little house in the woods that's well-isolated and has been abandoned for quite some time. He's spent months secretly fixing it up with assistance from the Puppeteer, and now, while snow gently drifts down from the sky he leads Dina to it. It's their home now, he tells her, and she falls in love with it immediately as its roof protects the delicate white flakes of ice from becoming tainted by the ground. They go inside, and Helen has already done a wonderful job at making it feel like a home. She kisses him then, which takes them both by surprise; but neither dislike or regret it.

MARCH: Lazari is still imprisoned in the cult's little dungeon. She doesn't know why she was put there or what she did wrong to make her mother stop loving her. She's been starved and had her back whipped many times. Her mother came to see her for the first time in months, and Lazari asked her with tear-filled eyes why she didn't want her anymore. Seemingly recovering her humanity for a moment after hearing the pain in her child's voice, her mother looked away unable to meet her gaze. She pulled the key from its hook on the wall and unlocked the chains around Lazari's wrists, then dragged her off into the dark night. They travelled to a well-kept garden with many tall trees and decorative stones, and it was there that Lazari's mother made a noose and hung herself in front of her young daughter. Lazari had little strength and didn't know what to do, and so sat next to the tree where her mother's corpse swung and cried. When the sun came up the next day, an old priest wandering through the graveyard found her there and took her in. His little cottage wasn't the most glamorous space, but it was warm and cozy and had plenty of snacks that Father Daniel gladly shared with the poor girl. When he gave her leftover beef from the night before, he saw the red tinge in her eyes; and her reflection and shadow both had horns. Unlike the cult that had hurt her so, Father Daniel didn't punish her for what she was born as, instead opting to nurture her goodness and human side. He called the authorities to remove her mother's corpse from the tree, but he did not mention child for fear of what may happen to her.

AUGUST: Jeff goes after some targets on his list only to find that someone else took them out first. He encounters the responsible party quickly - a wounded Nathan - and brings him to Jack's MedLab. Nathan has trouble trusting others, even other vigilantes, and is civil but distant while he waits for himself to be healed enough to leave.

2013

APRIL: A man concealed by a tattered black cloak walks along the main street of a small village. He watches a couple of children gather a box from an alleyway and excitedly bring it to their parents; the kids beg them to keep the small litter of whining puppies within the cardboard container. 'The puppies will die alone out here, and dogs are so wonderful and loyal,' they argue. The parents finally agree, and the family moves to get in their car. As they drive off, Hobo Heart hears a small noise from the alley. He steps forward to look, and a small pup waddles right into him. This one was left behind, forgotten. It whines and licks his ankle. Dogs are loyal. He picks up the little thing and holds it inside his cloak to warm it as he moves on.

MAY: The Puppeteer has been spending the day in Jason's company, but he needs to stop by Helen and Dina's home to pick up something from Helen. He lets Jason tag along with what should have been a quick visit, but Jason and Dina get into a brawl and develop strong animosity toward each other. Jason is banned from the couple's home and the Puppeteer is later forgiven so long as he follows that rule.

JUNE: Toby is abducted by the SCP Foundation and brought into their labs. He is freed by the other proxies, but not before Foundation researchers traumatize him so badly he refuses to speak for months after his liberation.

SEPTEMBER: Lazari has returned to full health thanks to Father Daniel's kindness. She has helped him by consuming malicious entities that raised Cain for his congregation and they have become close. However, Lazari has been feeling a strong calling to travel and wander. It takes some convincing, but eventually Father Daniel accepts that she can now take care of herself as her strength has returned. He bids her farewell on her travels and is sure to inform her she's welcome to stop in any time.

2015

JANUARY: Hobo Heart meets Eyeless Jack after hearing about the MedLab. He starts coming to Jack to have his supply of needles and catgut replenished when he's running low, though his cold demeanor offends the medic. Jack still supplies him with what he needs, but their meetings are tense and silent.

2016

AUGUST: Offenderman is hunted down and terminated by the other Slenders to prevent him from harming anyone else. All other vigilantes are happy to hear the news of his demise.

2019

OCTOBER: Zalgo and Lazari finally meet on Hallowe'en night with a little assistance from the Slenderman. Also on this night, Masky leads Sally's parents to her makeshift grave, out of which he'd dug her remains. Her parents get to say goodbye and give her a proper burial. Sally's spirit sticks around after but is no longer bound to that area of the woods. She's glad to be able to travel like everyone else now.

[keikakudom]

Lemme try and make sense of Vox's mindset, and correct me if I get anything wrong?

I think Vox in RR!au hardly actually thinks about suicide. He's too much of a busy man to do that, after all! Thinking about death is for people with too much time on their hands, who don't have to deal with a billion problems on the daily. And sure, maybe it wouldn't be a terrible accident if he was locked out on extermination day one year (not that there's exterminations anymore), but he'll never bother to actively seek it -- why would he? He has things to do. Empires to run/build. Deals to make. Resorts to run, residents to settle, princesses to talk to.

Really, everything would be just fine and dandy, as long as progress is being made, nothing goes wrong at the resort, heaven doesn't come down for no good reason, and that deer freak manage to not bother him for a single day. All dandy!

So what if he's been going through business ventures like someone going through Doritos at the back of the car? It's difficult to stay on top, in Hell, and he can't rely on tech or media forever, not when they cycle faster and faster(and he would know, of course, his whole body is made of it). He's doing what it takes, and if it's risky, what business isn't?

And re: Alastor, vox may have once had feelings for him, but now it's probably soured into maybe wishing that Alastor would just fuck off somewhere where he'll never be heard from again. I think Vox knows very well from years of companionship that Alastor considers him a source of amusement and entertainment rather than an equal, and that hasn't truly changed even after he left, and in a way that has to bite? That Alastor cannot leave it alone, has to make his opinions and disdain clear to all of hell every single day, and also make it clear that vox cannot do anything to stop him (that tv still runs on radiowaves fundamentally, that he can't get rid of Alastor's influence).

Like the way I interpret canon!vox's feelings re:alastor has a lot more insecurity and the desire to show he's stronger now, he's over it, he doesn't need him, than just being rejected romantically, and in contrast RR!vox grinned and bore it longer without letting on, and then at some point just gave up, by which time his feelings have soured so far past insecurity and bitterness into straight up nihilism. (Doomed yaoi my fav)

Ok I'm just rambling now but yeah I think vox in RR!au is really really interesting? Bc he's y'know not in the best place but also he's fine. He's not, probably never, going to actively do anything, left to his own devices he's just going to keep at his daily routine and eventually self-destruct on his own hubris by taking on far more than he is capable of (people pleasing tendencies, hm?). But otherwise he's fine.

*drops my glass of milk* yea, this all. Checks out.

(that tv still runs on radiowaves fundamentally, that he can't get rid of Alastor's influence)

I think RR!Alastor is also chasing RR!Vox because he knows something is really wrong when Vox wants to cut something *fundamental to his functions* out from his life... If Alastor had any heat to his words, he could do some serious damage to Vox.

But Alastor was not able to reciprocate back then(or in general) the way Vox ever wanted him to. Alastor might think, "What's so wrong about being amusing to me? What's so wrong in being cared for that way?" But we know that Vox, even in canon, is pretty damn emotional. A confession was bound to happen, but since RR!Vox never did, he opt'd to shut them off. It started off with distractions, and those worked too well. Eventually he gave up trying to figure out his emotions and took the "easy" way out, nihilism--but like everything Vox dips his foot into, it's never enough. Only this time it's not only power(like I interpret canon!Vox to seek) that's growing/he's greedy for, it's this all-encompassing void.

Another interesting characterization to tack onto RR!AU Vox is his strong lack of self-preservation, I did mention it here when I had some thoughts on canon!Vox, but rather than "confidence", he does not care. And on occasion, he can go irrationally, batshit crazy for the same reason.

Let's set the stage in hmm, 1980s? He starts not to care about smaller allies, the people he stomps on, eating them up to become an overlord. Recruits Valentino, doesn't care that Val is immoral. At first it's "not his business", but it starts spreading. What is it that he's looking for? Power? Love? Entertainment? People to accept him?

Which is why RR!Vox decided to jump the gun a little bit and shoot for becoming a form of "GOD", aka the original reason for all his anguish in Hell(his religious roots as a human). It's kind of...an endpoint? It's not the most sane, or sensical route-- but he doesn't care that much. He's functioning on this tired/desensitized, pseudo-robotic, logical reasoning with a combo of "oh god I'm running out of interest"(in existing/running himself to the ground). So....hm, "fine" is a tragic word, indeed.

He's not, probably never, going to actively do anything, left to his own devices he's just going to keep at his daily routine and eventually self-destruct on his own hubris by taking on far more than he is capable of (people pleasing tendencies, hm?). But otherwise he's fine.

Welllll, he did always want to go out with a bang. If he did. I don't know, something really big. Like becoming God! Yeah.....That'd do it.

IMO, the premise of RR!AU isn't in stasis-- the reason Vox picked up this project in particular is an aggressive move. He's no longer distributing the same amount of work to the other Vees either anymore, so there is....some urgency, is what I like to think....

[gotstabbedbyapen]

Soo I was wondering if you had any hcs on the sibs reaction to the whole Artemis and Orion situation? I’m like obsessed with your hcs of the Olympians I love when people make them family

Thanks for enjoying my silly HCs of the Olympians! It's really fun doing them :3

Now on with the ask!

I imagine Orion as that one cousin nobody likes. He prides himself on being a powerful son of Poseidon and doesn't know his place. That will become his downfall.

Poseidon doesn't think Orion's arrogance a big deal, so he makes the younger Olympians get along withhis son. For some reason, Orion seemed to be infatuated with Artemis.

Artemis isn't naive of Orion's nature, she knows about Orion's attack on the daughter of his previous host (King Oinopion and his daughter Merope).

Because of this, Artemis immediately puts Orion on the blacklist and keeps him the hell away from her female companions.

We all know how Apollo is protective of his twin. Mess with Artemis and you will be greeted with an arrow in the ass. So when Orion came along, all the red flags were set up in his brain.

Persephone and Athena are highly alerted of Orion too, maybe even more protective than Apollo because they were both previously victim and almost victim of assault. No way in hell they will let their sister get in danger.

So when Orion tails behind Artemis during her hunts, either Apollo, Persephone, or Athena immediately follows along. They never let these two alone together.

When Orion almost attacked Opis, one of the virgin huntress, Artemis fatally shot him as retribution, but didn't outright kill him because of pressure from Poseidon.

After setting a the divine relevant of a restriction order on Orion, Artemis left him with a warning, "I've killed a giant before for kidnapping my mother. Don't think I will let you crawl away alive if you pull that shit again with my friends."

Ares pats Artemis on the back and says he would have killed Orion right away if he were Artemis.

Orion was mad and humiliated from Artemis' punishment, which is why he swore to become the greatest hunter ever seen and to outrank Artemis as revenge.

Orion wasn't killed by Artemis or Apollo eventually. It was Gaia who sent a scorpion to sting him after he proclaimed to kill all living animals on Earth.

When Orion died, the siblings (mostly Apollo and Persephone) suggested an eternal punishment for him. They turned him into a constellation and created the Scorpio constellation to forever chase him across the sky.

To this day, the siblings will spend time laying in an open field together and watch the chase of Orion and the scorpion.

really weird thing ive noticed lately re: hermits getting critiqued for stuff theyve said or done is that as soon as someone holds a shit opinion (even if it's just them being stupid, or a centrist, or saying a bad word without knowing what it means, or whatever) people immediately seem to flock to the 'this guy should die' 'kys' 'why are we giving this person a platform' rhetoric and like. that's not how meaningful change is made?

like, yeah, if one of my beloved CCs posted a tweet or video tomorrow about how much they hate gay people, or believe in conservative ideals, or they just said a bunch of slurs or whatever (these are hyperbolic examples obviously) then yeah, fuck them, they should go rot. but like, having some dumb takes, or saying bad things in the past, doesn't = evil terrible person...

idk, i feel like we can critique content creators without getting so insane about it. like, shit, there are things some of my favourites do that i don't like, but theyre not even really worth bringing up tbh. unless its something actually important, i feel like it just creates more drama out of nothing and all these assholes come crawling out of the woodwork to tell everyone how much they hate that creator. or find their content boring anyway so clearly they have no real merit to anyone.

more of an explanation of what i mean in the tags but yeah.
