DPxDC media story prompt

Okay first off, this sort of thing has been done before, but here’s a different version involving Jazz Fenton.

Popular in DPxDC fanfic is that the GIW have a media blackouts—or whiteouts, there’s kind of a difference, where whiteouts work more like… there is a file, but you can’t edit it or it may be locked out for certain users, or an edited version of events where things are ‘whited out’ like with correction paste, among other definitions.

Point is!

The GIW have a media restriction, and among these is social media, probably with certain words or phrases pinging to location restrict the post. There was probably a phase for a while where the A-Listers tried to get around it, but ultimately failed, and since they could only get information IN rather than information OUT, and possibly still a limited amount of outside information in the first place, social media didn’t take off as much in Amity Park than in other places in the world. There’s still a small local presence, but at this point it’s almost like a city wide chat room than actual social media.

Enter in, Jazz Fenton. She’s chronically behind on trends, so by the time she decides to get on social media, the GIW aren’t being as militant on it. And she has that habit of calling the ghosts by code names instead of their actual names, such as Crate Creep instead of The Box Ghost, or Ghost X instead of Skulker. By pure coincidence of her personal language use and Tucker messing with all of Team Phantom’s phone locaters for easier excuse giving, Jazz manages to dodge all the word censors.

She accidentally creates a whole online story community convinced it’s some kind of altered reality game or role playing game, what have you. Meanwhile, Jazz is letting off steam by ranting online with, of course, made up names of all the people involved. She doesn’t even notice the numbers, and that’s assuming the GIW didn’t just—region lock the ability to see them for whatever reason. The few Amity Parkers on social medias see Jazz, maybe look at a complaint post or two, then move on because this isn’t even an unusual video inside Amity Park’s social media sphere.

Heck, PHANTOM has a social media presence and he’s done several rant videos too! One particularly famous one is him complaining about keeping his boots and gloves white while being chased and one of the GIW agents actually stops and gives him advice before shooting at him again.

Those outside Amity Park, of course, only see Jazz’s videos. And she has no idea that she has an entire online presence and mild amounts of online fame. And again, almost everyone thinks the whole thing is just a fun little game, if oddly detailed.

Until, that is, a certain young man by the name of Bernard comes in. One of the few who are totally convinced this is real, he tries to also convince his boyfriend—Timothy Drake-Wayne. Who, in turn, finds it incredibly suspicious that it’s this hard to get news and posts from one random town in the Midwest.

LSTR-S2301 and the maintenance tunnel ARAR are best friends to me even though that Elster was only on sierpinski for a seemingly brief time, they’re bros who fuck around on the clock during work. I think Elster was probably more willing to put extra time in however she’s also very “okay you’ve given me a list of tasks I did them. They’re done and done well. That’s it, my time now.” Whereas I see Ara being more of a slacker (very valid of her) or at the very least just a bare minimum type of gal when it comes to work.

Idk I tend to imagine them fucking off in the middle of shifts to go find weird lonely corners of sierpinski to hang out in. They don’t even talk half the time but they love it.

ANNIKA FUCHS for @simsdaughters' Rich Romance Bachelor Challenge

Annika is a rising costume designer whose astonishingly historically accurate pieces have quickly become the talk of town. Every Del Sol Valley director suddenly wants to meet her, and there's even Starlight Accolades buzz. Sure, she's a bit on the eccentric side, but isn't that practically a requirement of the industry? Okay, she keeps a little too much to herself, but doesn't that mean she's a driven career woman who has no time for cozying up to celebrities at debauched parties? Certainly, she knows nothing about the terrifying Victorian specter who haunts the Windenburg countryside, her gruesome attacks perfectly aligned with the wrap dates on Annika's films. Between work and play, she typically keeps herself far too busy for romance. But perhaps she's only been waiting to meet someone who can properly match her ruthless ambition.

Annika was turned in the 1830s after answering a job listing in the newspaper seeking a governess for a sickly child. The child was actually a vampire of mysterious origins who had been found on the streets and "rescued" by an ethically dubious doctor for the sake of scientific experimentation. One day, the vampire child attacked Annika, and seeing the potential for a new experiment, the doctor fed her the child's blood. However, he gravely miscalculated the power of an adult vampire, even one newly turned, and Annika soon made him her first meal. Meanwhile, the child fled, never to be seen again.

Nearly two centuries later, Annika still returns to WIndenburg in search of her former charge, donning the exact Victorian attire she wore the night she killed the doctor. She has yet to find the child, but she must admit she finds some pleasure in giving the otherwise quaint little town a good scare while she's there.

Over the decades, she's had many careers. As a human, she enjoyed painting, so she's usually drawn to the arts. While she finds her greatest fulfillment in creating, she's also had her share of brief but torrid love affairs with humans and occults alike. For a time, she dated a spellcaster who gifted her an enchanted ring that shifts color to match her eyes in both forms; she still wears it today. Despite her loner tendencies, she occasionally indulges dreams of finding someone to spend the rest of eternity with. Maybe one day she'll even find another child to care for, allowing her to finally put her lifelong search to rest.

Kite-Man meets Spoilers 'boyfriend'

Kite-Man carries money bags to the van he's helping other goons fill up.

Kite-Man (singing): I love stealing. I love taking things.

Kite-Man hears a ping on his phone from Golden Glider. While he texts her that he's safe, the other goons get taken down. He turns around and sees Spoiler and Red Robin (Tim).

Spoiler: Dang it, no! No! Why does it feel like we're linked to meet by stars? Is this a punishment for my father's crimes? Lord, if you can hear me, sins of the father much!

Red Robin: Hi, Kite-Man.

Kite-Man, unaware that Spoiler hates: Hey Red Robin. Hey rival, how's it going?

Spoiler: You know what? I got to go. Red Robin you can take care of the-

Red Robin places his arm on Spoiler's shoulder before she can run away.

Red Robin: You can't leave me alone with him. He's your rival.

Kite-Man: You told him I was your rival? Oh my God have we reached that level of rivalness? Where you tell your family about me? Good looking out girl.

Spoiler, to Red Robin: You're enjoying this for now. Oh, but later. Man, why are you robbing... A bank?!

Kite-Man: I know what this looks like, but I'm not the one who needs the money from the bank, just doing some part-time gooning, you understand?

Spoiler: STOP SAYING THAT LIKE I DO!

Red Robin: Well...

Spoiler: I swear to Christ.

Kite-Man: You guys need a minute?

Spoiler: No! I'm ignoring him, what happened to your bar?!

Kite-Man: I'm still running it, but I can't give up life as the top-tier criminal of Gotham. The bar ownership is a hobby.

Red Robin: You know what's that like Spoiler?

Spoiler elbows Red Robin in the stomach. He winces while laughing.

Red Robin: Worth it.

Spoiler: I say this with the knowledge of how bars work, just run the bar! Give up on crime! Red Robin I swear if you tell Batman I said this I will pour cold water on you while you sleep.

Red Robin puts his phone away in the middle of texting their father.

Kite-Man: Dang man, you might be right... Nah can't give up my mantle of top tier criminal of Gotham.

Spoiler, shaking with rage: You're not!

Kite-Man chuckles.

Kite-Man: She's such a jokester.

Red Robin notices Spoiler clenching her fist with anger. He turns to KM.

Red Robin: Yeah, hilarious lady. I enjoy seeing her angry like this but we got to arrest you dude. I'm sorry.

Spoiler smacks RR on his arm at apologizing to the annoying villain. Robin shrugs.

Kite-Man: Do you really have to arrest me? Glider does not do well with the bar most of the time... she abstains from alcohol.

Spoiler: She's that type of religious?

Kite-Man: Yeah. Aww you remembered rival.

Spoiler, taking a deep breath: Are the comms on?

Barbara, on the communication receiver: Yup.

Barbara eats popcorn as she listens in.

Spoiler: Red Robin, I will kick you in the shin if you say anything else. Arrest him so we can go.

Kite-Man: Aww, that's sweet you guys are arresting me as a couple. I knew you'd find the right one, Spoiler.

Spoiler blinks surprised.

Red Robin not laughing: Fucking what?

Kite-Man: You guys are a couple. It's all around the villain circuit. I think you two make a pretty good pair.

Red-Robin: Wait a minute, that's not... We're not-

Spoiler: We aren't together anymore- why did I say that?

Kite-Man: You guys broke up? That sucks. Was it your astrological signs? Do they not mix with each other? Because golden glider says that plays a big role of how relationships work out.

Barbara cackles in the background making Spoiler groan. Red Robin covers his blushing face in shame.

Spoiler, gritted teeth: Of course you're into astrology. We're not dating!

Kite-Man, shrugging: Everybody just assumed you guys were banging because you're the ones who team up the most.

Barbara keeps cackling.

Barbara: I can't breathe. I can't breathe! Lord, this is the best night ever.

Red Robin, frustrated and embarrassed: Okay, I'm knocking you out for saying we're dating and then putting the cuffs on you.

Kite-Man: Spoiler, you good with that?

Spoiler throws her hands up and walks away, contemplating her life's choices for the 50th time since knowing Kite-Man.

Red Robin runs to the man and punches him unconscious. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4,

okay i need feedback from the autism mentall illness website um. this is going to read like an AITA post. brother vs half-sister (who are currently my dependents do to their own individual disabilities + ptsd/depression) spat i will skim the details on but i'm worried my sister will discount my take since i'm not autistic myself so. am i crazy to call it ableist to look at an autistic person (23) who is clearly going through it dealing w long term depression, a world that doesn't give a shit abt him, unemployment, very self-isolated and burnt out barely leaving his room because the world is an ableist dumpster fire with zero opportunities for him, and then bring up childhood abuse he's suffered and his diagnosis as reasonable factors on top of this to worry he'll [checks notes] abuse my cat just to hurt me or even worse have a breakdown and kill me and his other sibling in a violent episode, a train of thought i probably wouldn't even be having were he not [checks notes] mad at me for the first time in my life?

like i don't have any other read on this kind of fear-based characterization other than ableism. like those are very real things in his life but she never points out any current violent behavior, of which there are none, only the one (1) instance of him lashing out when he was like 14 and Officially Diagnosed Low Empathy she thinks is a concern and Hateful Looks toward her since he stopped getting along with her, that's it. i tried explaining to her why i, someone who's lived w him his entire life, can vouch for how unlikely he is to do anything like that, especially when it's again not based on anything he's actually currently doing except for isolating in a way that is much more indicative of him potentially being a danger to himself than anyone else, and being cold towards her specifically, and i thought she had let it go, but when i brought it up off-hand in a conversation tangentially related, she continued to defend and justify her Concern about the potential directions his behavior could lead to because [checks notes] other people in similar situations have lashed out and killed their entire families according to. true crime books or videos she's watched on youtube as far as i'm aware. ignoring the fact that her and i have had the same or Worse childhood abuse and have acted similarly isolated in the past, or for her literally just as currently as him, and she's not expressed any worry past or present about either of us doing anything like that, in my opinion obviously because i haven't cut her off due to our differences like he decided to. like am i big sibling biased because this is pissing me off so bad.

[kandicon]

Is nobody talking abt Nova Storm being a potential trans woman?? Like she not only takes Thundercracker's place but also has his sonic booms?? The show has gone over nonbinary people and gender conversations already, this is not out of the relm of possibility at all.

If nobody's gonna talk about it that just means I'm gonna talk EXTRA about it. Headcanon time.

Okay, so obviously Starscream was the one who did the surgery. He'd be all to happy to have unique colors w the removal of Thundercracker's blue and be the only boy in the group. The chance to stand out even more amongst his trine AND a free opportunity to stick his hands in some internals and do as he pleases?? HELL yes.

He was only a little upset that Nova Storm wanted to keep her sonic booms and he couldn't take that mechanism to stick into his own internals. Just a little.

Skywarp started doing makeup because Nova Storm took interest in it. Which of course meant Starscream also got into it too because he would not let his trine walk around with messy lipstick! Don't they know they're an extension of himself?! Their image is his image and they will look the best. Both Skywarp and Nova Storm have shaky hands from their outlier abilities. Good thing no-smudge paint can last without wear for months, no war or prison could ever get in the way of a perfect face of makeup.

Nova Storm realized she was a femme during the war, which is the main reason she got Starscream to do her transition and not a less biased, less unethical actual doctor. It had downfalls, but it was also one of the trine's closest times during the war. The three of them, all sitting around a room meticulously planning "Thundercracker's" death for months, because Nova Storm's a writer and no way she's gonna give up the chance to act out one her stories in real life. Skywarp is so proud of the fake tears she made at the news to this day (Starscream learned mascara just so Skywarp could wear some that day to get it all runny). Y'all will think that the Decepticons' most guarded secret has something to do with the war, or a Shockwave experiment, but no. The Decepticons' closest kept secret is Nova Storm's transition.

Everyone can kinda agree that it was probably the best for Nova's transition to be secret, "Thundercracker" was a very public figure as one of Starscream's trine. It would have been an easily available weakness for other Decepticons or Autobots to attack to hurt Starscream or Nova Storm. But the main reason was for the tragic death story potential and siblings scheming together.

Skywarp and Nova Storm definitely had their whole finishing each other's sentences before her transition, but they totally played it up even more afterwards.

Nova Storm got so happy and euphoric when people started to refer to her and Skywarp as sisters (usually with a negative "s" word before it. Ex. Scary, sinister, spooky, etc.). She still feels euphoric over it, but it's much more normal for her now and then she realizes she feels less about it because is so much more normal and common now and that makes her even happier. It's just a thing for her now!! It's a correct thing and it's natural and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.

I can’t even lie over time this pathetic little elf has grown on me and now I really like her as a character. she’s SUCH a loser. and someone said that she should’ve been recruitable instead of Halsin after uncovering the Shadow Druid plot and she could’ve had a redemption arc and now I can’t stop thinking about that alternate reality
