Fic prompt, Young Justice era:

Robin(Tim) and Superboy break into the Fenton Ops Center after discovering a faction of the DEO that was created exclusively for dealing with ghosts.

They came across this sub-agency while combing through hacked documents after saving Greta, and found out the Department of Extranormal Operations formed the Ghost Investigation Ward and gets special ghost-hunting weapons from mad scientist inventors in a small Illinois town.

Danny (with his sharper senses) hears the break in and goes to investigate with the Fenton Creep Stick. Robbers get hired on occasion to steal inventions that aren’t patented yet. He hears movement just on the other side of the door and goes in swinging. Hits Superboy in the back and makes him stumble, which causes serious alarm from the two heroes.

“That actually almost hurt!” Superboy says in surprise, staring wide-eyed at the new kid holding a splintered baseball bat.

“You cracked the Creep Stick,” Danny stares at the bat with his mouth open. “I didn’t know it could break.”

“Rob? I think this guy has powers.”

Danny looks up, blinking in shock, “Your name is Rob? And you became a Robber? Dude. You don’t have to define yourself by what your parents named you.”

Superboy tries to hide his laughter while Robin sputters. “I’m not - They didn’t -”

“Oh!” Danny has an epiphany. “Did you name yourself that? I chose my name too, but I’m just Danny. I didn’t go and name myself after an illegal profession. Like, can you imagine if I was an arsonist named Bernie? Or a skeevy car salesman named Otto? I know it’s hard to choose a name when you’re trans, and, I gotta admit, being a robber named Rob is hilarious, but there’s more options out there, I promise. For names and career paths.”

Superboy is wheezing at this point and Robin’s face is near fuchsia. Instead of addressing any of that, Robin gets angry.

“We aren’t robbers! We’re heroes! I’m Robin. that’s Superboy. Your parents sell weapons that hurt people and we’re here to stop that!”

Danny tosses the broken Creep Stick over his shoulder and smiles wide.

“Why didn’t you say so! Oh man, this is great. I’ve been sabotaging their stuff for years. If you’re here to help I’ve got a couple projects you can definitely smash.”

Understandable my dude, to each their own opinion.

I’m just a comic history nerd who saw the opportunity to share a comic essay that I liked and the post got away from me. It was meant to be a general statement about how the average DC comic consumer changed overtime and as did the explanations for abilities as that audience grew more mature but I kept having thoughts and writing them down, not intending to state that every DC fan felt that way.

I definitely agree with the statement that one’s personal preferred continuity prevails over canon each and every time. With each new writer and era of comics came new interpretations and abilities that varied depending on who wrote them and what types of stories editorial said sold the most issues recently, so a character naturally will fluctuate and change over time and with each pen that touches paper. And while I definitely prefer certain writers and eras over others, others can have a totally different opinion on the runs and characters than I, and that diversity in opinion is what makes the DC community so fun to be apart of!

Overall, I totally agree that comics are what you want them to be! Finding what comics you personally enjoy and building your own interpretation of a character should be a fun experience. Anyone who preaches that there is only one right interpretation of a character and anyone who thinks outside of it should be shunned or ridiculed, they can eat glass as far as I’m concerned.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O

it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”

the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997

it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)

two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama

and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio

edit: it has been brought to my attention that the native american “legend” part of this post was a rumor spread by a documentary.

i have been asked to remove it, but i believe in letting my errors stand because i’m not perfect. i make mistakes

[stealingyourbones]

Oh aBSOLUTELY let’s do this!

You know what? I’ll take it

are you a hot person? you punk? yeah??? what kind huh??? masc or femme hot vibes? cocky or down to earth hot vibes??? why dont you stick around and find out what incredibly long and oddly specific example of a hot aura you give off?

Booster has seen many a pile of shit in his day as the Justice League's resident time traveler, including the lose of his friends over and over. While they all came back when the day got saved, it still hurt, and reminded him of friends that never *did* get recovered.

When he responds to the rare call for help from Batman, he isn't ready to see a long lost face from his past -- Solomon Grundy: The friend he could never save. (get booped idiot. i love you)

You know, I've never really thought that Booster might know Solomon because Solomon Grundy is immortal but I'm now hooked. thats such a fun concept

[bonebrokebuddy]

hello! I was sent here by @bjurnberg! Basically, I’ve been following her for a while and that’s made me really want to get into the Batman fandom. I’m already a big fan of comics so this seems like a good idea for me. And so my question is this - do you have any particular favourite runs of Nightwing that you’d recommend?

P.S my favourite comics thus far are Lemire’s Moon Knight, all of Jodorowksy’s Incal stuff, Delano’s Hellblazer run, and I really like Frank Miller’s work on Batman Year One and Daredevil Born Again!

Many thanks!

If you like the modern version of Nightwing, read the Tom Taylor run starting at Nightwing #78-present. I’m currently loving the heck out of the run, it’s delightful. The comics vanish off of shelves quickly so be sure to snatch those up quick if you want to collect them physically.

But if you like the older version of Nightwing, go with the Chuck Dixon run. Its very 90s and very good. Its fairly difficult to find the physical comics for the run & it’d be a case of finding and very very slowly collecting it issue by issue. You’re much better off finding this run online or at a local library.

Either way, I’d recommend reading both. They’re different flavors of Nightwing as a character but both very worth reading.

Oh, Robin: Year One ain’t bad either. It’s a great comic to read about the origin of Dick that’s not from the 1940s. It’s a Robin title and not Nightwing but also would recommend.

Hope this helped:) if you ever need any other comic recs, please let me know!

As a community, we need to start using more obscure dc characters for dpxdc, just for the fun of it.

I need Batmite kidnapping Danny to make him fight Batman for his own entertainment. Dash decides that Kite-Man is his arch enemy. Danny is stargazing and discovers Mogo. I want an inexplicable team up between the Wonder Twins and Valerie. Where’s my Ember-is-the-ghost-of-Blackfire fic?

Someone find a random dc character generator and find a way to shoehorn whatever result you get into prompts.

absolutely beautiful and wonderful thoughts.

Do you have any really specific and/or personal Zukka headcanons that you’d be okay with sharing? I eat up every hc you put into your drawings like they’re candy, I was wondering if you had any others :D :D

OH boii i sure have,,, nothing coherent is coming to mind atm so ill just expose my Extensive backstories of zukka bethrotal armbands that idk if i will find a way to sneak into art.

sokka’s armband for zuko is forged back at Piandao’s mansion, and it's one of the most fine stunning pieces of jewelry ever crafted. it’s not the usual southern ivory but metal, more similar to the armbands worn as an accessory in the fire nation. it’s made of intertwining bands of gold and black meteor metal, with patterns of waves and dragon scales that seem to ripple and move when the light catches on them just right. and the pendant is a traditional blue stone from the swt.

There are no particular engagement gifts traditions in the fn, so zuko goes on a deep dive into southern water tribe ones, asking sokka’s family and friends about jewelry making and learning to engrave over the course of several trips to the swt. He makes sokka’s armband with ivory from his own first (successful) solo hunt. i’m not sure abt the material of the pendant lmao maybe gold? but amber would also be cool methinks

as for the pendant engraving they display a unique single braincell moment (untrue i just want them to match). love the fact that both of them are sea savvy navigators, love to think that in their pining era they spent a lot of time watching the stars and showing each other the different constellations and navigation pointers of their nations, so in both of their armbands’ stones are depicted the constellation used to guide sailors back home, sokka engraving the swt’s one on zuko’s armband and vice versa.

if they were sun’s out guns out kinda guys before this only gets worse during the first weeks of their engagement. shirts are banned. everyone look at the bethrotal armbands NOW.

So I read your piece about Honsu. That would be great. And you know, we joke and analyze about fetishes, kinks and sexual attraction in Astartes.

But! I think it's pretty weird that traitors didn't return sexual attraction to Space Marines…

Since the lack of sexual desire is due to the fact that the Emperor did not want a new species to appear. But traitors consider themselves above mortals, so why not return sexual desire to them? GW has lost so much potential.

Well, yes, it will be very funny to watch how traitors would cope with new emotions. Those who have had sex or know about it, will immediately figure it out.

But the rest… I imagine how they look at women like crazy maniacs, not knowing what to do or what to say. Given their psyche and testosterone, their heads will simply explode from emotions.

If before they simply killed and tortured mortals, they were irritated by weakness. Now they suddenly started to like it. Are you crying? Your tears will be wiped away and you will be told that you are beautiful. In the most horrible way.

Are you pregnant? Will you name the child after him? Have you given birth yet? Now breastfeed quickly, and the Astartes will watch.

And courtship?

The Night Lord will give you human hearts and cloaks of leather.

The Emperor's Children will read you their poetry and sing. But since this is Slaanesh, prepare for vulgarity.

Iron Warriors: romance is kidnapping you and locking you in a cage.

And yes. All. All Space Marines will make you watch them fight and kill. Because it is sexy.

And so begins the Space Marines' Human Husbandary. An extremely creepy and scary thing…. I'll write about it one day.

Listen Honsou was just speeding things up when he was making the Demonculaba; you can't look at that thing and be like "there's some psychosexual things to be unpacked here."

Did you know that there's roughly 350ish generations within the span of 10,000 years (I have a feeling if chaos wasn't fucking around there would be a new species... then again Bile made his New Humans and basically unleashed them into populations

But you are right the traitors will have to deal with it first and I can imagine that it hits them suddenly since its so new and Space Marines are experts in handling new sensations.

But it might also be a difference between falling to chaos and simply turning traitor which one might activate that feeling earlier while the other is more of an ability to indulge that curiosity. Either way I hope these satisfy I know for some of them I could write something longer... it's probably obvious what ones I could

(1) sorry it took so long to do these and 2) sorry I went fuckin ham as there are 6 blurbs here )

tw: dubious consent, noncon, bone breaking, abduction, every single one of these is a traitor/chaos marine so that general unpleasantness so please let me know if I need to tag something

The Plague Marine could not figure out why his eyes remained on the female thralls and cultists... he didn't trust himself not to hurt them anymore. He was thankful for his helmet being on most of the time as the intense look in his eyes surely made them all cower and fear till...she got too close and he couldn't stop. He at least stopped before he fully broke all her bones... Grandfather would help him... Grandfather knew what was afflicting him. As while she was this pathetic mewling and weeping thing in his grasp he wanted to crush her again.

She was desperately crawling away as of course she would get hurt and have to be left to die. Oh she didn't want to die in the torturous way they would think up for her. He knew she didn't want to die... all prey didn't want to die and yet they knew all up until that last moment of life. He could practically hear the wild heartbeat and the way her wide prey like eyes locked onto his form as she let out the most beautifully frightened scream as the fallen Raven Guard barrels toward her. But before his claws sink in he skids to a stop and he watches her bite her bottom lip till it bleeds to stop the shrieking. His black eyes are fixated on the tears rolling down her cheeks like raindrops... his mutated palm wiping away those tears with the wet skin feeling so soft to him. His warped voice croons softly, his voice a breathy whisper, "You're so beautiful." He grins as she just starts to scream again.

He didn't need a bed slave... he was beyond that as blood shed was all he needed but he took you for a moment of relief... frail and weak thing that was destined to die in a myriad of horrible ways. But he liked the feeling of you around him... he liked you being a pathetic sad thing. He liked the way you bled and cried... till you stopped bleeding one day and grew fat with his young... he didn't need you... and yet you feel so good around him... and whatever you leaked from your breast felt good upon his tongue.

Courtship? I think you mean them just doting upon you and giving you attention.

You were so alone at this point that it was hardly safe to simply exist... ever since you got that first heart and the entire perfectly skinned human cloak everyone started to avoid you and the hearts and leather didn't stop... you're going to die... you know it you're going to die and you think it as you're hiding and weeping when behind you comes a Night Lord. He coos to you petting your head as you feel so numb you take the comfort just praying to anyone bothering to listen to have him make it quick. "Mmm you're clinging to me so tightly... are you scared? Do you need someone to protect you?" You don't know why you nod as you just hope you die soon. "At least I know you've enjoyed my gifts," He croons watching you finally react with dread horror as he just grins down at you and yet you do not struggle to pull away. Its over for you and you just accept your fate....

He sings to you as you lay there a quivering mess... just a tryst he tells himself as his fingers move up your spine having claimed you as his prize from another brother. He had grown tired of the cacophonous noise that spewed from his now dead comrade and he was only now just indulging in the soft noises you made. The panting and whimpering as his song was soft and low with tantalizing lyrics interspersed. You looked prettier covered in blood... with that fight left in your eyes as you rage against the inevitable end and he at the end of his perfected blade would have given it to you had that battle brother not interrupted. You should have died in such perfected death but he supposed it had been far too long since he indulged himself. And instead of quivering from blood loss and pain you quivered from overstimulation and pleasure. He deserved a nice little treat for his centuries of perfection...

You looked so sad simply attached to the repugnant mortal how your pretty eyes were dimmed and glazed the smile on your face fake. But not to him. You only tried the half hearted attempts to seduce him as you were ordered. You looked so relieved when all he wanted to do was hold you... that breathy thank you. Oh he was certain you would thank him soon enough. You didn't bother to run as you hid in the room that you could never seem to escape... no one would bother to save a body slave much less one of your rank you were at most a warm body to be enjoyed. You had hidden yourself in the back of the closet amongst the gaudy and billowing fabric outfits... you had seen the Astartes check the room before leaving and you had hopped that he was gone. But what luck did someone like you have as he came back and you recognized that crooning voice, "What a good girl... staying right there." It was the Iron Warrior that simply held you instead of fucking you... you hugged your knees tighter as the chains in his hand looked heavy and all you could do was watch in horror as he got closer... and closer... and the little voice inside of you hoped he wouldn't hurt you.

Oh if you do write the human husbandry please tag me I dont think I've got it in me to do it justice.

Not even really a crossover but it could be

Danny gets outed/reveals/something and everybody knows he's Phantom. There are science organizations that are absolutely *frothing* at the mouth to hire him.

He gets hired to modify and then deploy hurricane and tornado reading equipment because he's able to fly into the center unharmed. There is much less margin or error because he's always able to get the equipment deployed if the weather is still happening.

Maybe it's a side job while he's in school for his BA or something

I would like to add smth fun that could potentially added to:

Clones technically already exist naturally. That’s what identical twins are.

My twin @stealingyourbones (say hi you’re on camera!) and I grew up in a extremely similar environment as kids. We ate the same food, went to the same stuff together (mainly because it was more convenient for the parents), liked the same things (because we shared our interests with each other so we could talk about it together) ,etc. Yet we are distinctly different people with different personalities.

Hell, we even speak very differently despite growing up doing all the same shit together despite being genetically identical… at least we were when the cell originally split.

As you age, your dna slowly mutates and epigenetics causes certain genes to “turn on or off” causing even more genetic differences (a huge oversimplification but, it works to help people understand the basic gist of it), there’s also stuff like transposons but that gets complicated quick.

So they are NOT genetically identical despite this, they’re essentially just identical twins but one is a test tube baby. And as you age, you look less and less like your twin, you slowly deviate in looking identical.

So the later they meet, the more they’re just going to look like uncanny versions of each other as they’re just slightly different visually.

But a DNA test would show that they’re the equivalence of identical twins, especially since they grew up at the same rate.

My point is, despite us growing up in the same environment, we’re vastly different people. The jarring difference between Danny and Tim in other people’s eyes because they expect Danny and Tim to be similar, would be very funny.

i am Thinking about danny being the Original and one of the batboys being a clone.

imagine. someone wanted to clone the Drakes' soon to be born son to use as ransom later on- only to accidentally switch the newborn baby with the baby clone. Danny was supposed to be Tim Drake. Tim was supposed to be a money-making scam. The drakes always wondered why Timmy grew up so fast...

and imagine, if you will: Danny is rescued unwittingly by the fentons, who raise him as their own. when Danny is 10, the Fentons explain what happened- according to the people the Fentons beat to get him, Danny is really a Drake by birth, and his clone is living the life he would've had. Danny, for his part, doesn't really care.

Danny visits Gotham sometime for a science fair and lo and behold, Tim Drake is there.

Tim pulls Danny aside to accuse him of being a clone. Danny bursts out laughing. Tim is confused.

Shenanigans ensue.

I will write more if it's requested. i think this is hilarious
