#but with accident of course

[batsyheere]

Duke, who is tired of being bullied for still having only a few spots checked off on vigilante bingo, decides to get even when family game night includes Never Have I Ever. Danny, who is either a friend or basically adopted family at this point, was invited.

He brings up the fact that he has never died and been brought back to life. Multiple fingers are put down, groans and complaints are made, and then they all turn to Danny when he just stares at the ground.

"If it happened more than once, do I put more fingers down? Or just the one?" he asks. The room falls silent for a few seconds before the flood of questions start.

No Fly Zone

DPxDC #29

Conner has taken to flying around high above the world, just drifting where the winds take him. He uses this time to just live in the moment and take in the natural beauty of the world.

As he's floating, he hears the distinct sound of music and screaming fans. He slowly pays more attention to the music, a strong female voice is belting out lyrics to a song that resonates with him.

Pinpointing the location the sound is coming from to a small town a few clicks west of where he is. He immediately moves to watch and listen in person. He has to know who is playing and if all their songs are as good as this current one.

The concert is taking place in a park with a completely open area to stand and listen. The concert is packed with teens and young adults. A typical concert, in Conner's opinion. He decides to fly further to the back of the crowd to watch. Conner doesn't really pay attention to the crowd and is focused on the band and the singer. Completely missing several eyebrow-raising things.

"Hey, flying guy! You can't watch from there please move to the designated area for flyers," A man with gravity-defying white hair and piercing green eyes flying near him says while gesturing to an area more to the left of the stage, where several people were flying and enjoying the concert. Most are glowing faintly, and some of them, concernedly, are semi-transparent. "Or you can keep on moving."

"Ah, sorry I was flying around, then heard this music and had to see who it is… So, umm, who is playing? I really love what I've heard so far." The two of them move away from the crowd.

"She's Ember McClain, the best musician from the Realms. As long as you're not here to start anything, you're good."

"Why are you the security here?" Conner purposely tilted his sunglasses, looking him up and down. Thinking to himself that this scrawny twink can't pack that much of a punch.

"Yes, I am. Even before that comment, I could tell you aren't from here if you don't recognize me." the cute twink laughs a little, "I'm Phantom! Manager of this whole thing and security. Making sure Ember sticks to the rules and making sure everyone else is too. This time no one tries to mind-control anyone."

Concerning comments shelved for later. "It seems I'm also unknown if I have to introduce myself. But for a cutie like you, I'll give you anything." Wink, "I'm Superboy, call me Kon. Can I ask more about you? Like, if you have a number I can have?"

Phantom blushes "Danny…..I don't just give my information or number out to some rando. That is lesson one of being a hero. As I'm sure you "Superboy" know this."

"Okay then, tell me more about this band, and you can tell me more about yourself at dinner after."

Conner reappears at the Young Justice base several hours after he normally would, with several bags full of Ember merch. Signed copies of the albums, posters, shirts, and even a water bottle. He gives a shirt to every YJ member. His phone is full of selfies and videos from the concert and after, as well as the number of a very cute boy, with a date set for Friday night.

He is alive yayyy!!!! And has returned to his natural state, scrappy and sopping wet.

[cosai-void]

I talked about Stanley loving art and what passion he has for it. And now how funny would it be if he was some kind of Bob Ross of his dimension. Maybe it was some scheme he was trying out or a temporary gig. Either way I would watch it.

AU where warframes have ruts and civilians don't.

One day, the Decepticons and Autobots are forced to join forces against a common enemy, and when trust is established, the Autobots watch over them (from afar) when the Decepticons are in heat. Because they're not supposed to get close, to avoid issues on both sides.

Things go well for several years, until one day Optimus accidentally bumps into Megatron during his rut.

(Or Bumblebee into Blitzwing. Or anyone you want)

More on the ruts

All warframes go into heat at the same time for some bullshit reason, like a moon or season, or whatever.

For safety and practical reasons, they prefer to meet in the same place (as much as possible) rather than being scattered all over the galaxy. Some change partners multiple times, others stick to just one (whether they're in a relationship or not).

Since the Decepticons have no taboos when it comes to sex, they don't mind being seen, and will likely ask the intruder to join the party.

Unless it's an enemy. In that case, they'll immediately become very aggressive. Autobots automatically fall into this category. They used their ruts against the warframes before the war (I'll let you guess how) and now use it in their propaganda to portray them as dangerous beasts.

Decepticons can technically stop their ruts, but it's like not sleeping for 48 hours. Possible, but it's better to go to sleep. And you pay the consequences.

(A warframe can come out at the of their rut fine if tired, but if a civilian was involved, they would have trouble to walk for at least a week, if they even have the energy to move) (Of course, only if they get fucked all night (day?), which they probably won't be since they have less stamina. Optimus will not receive the same leniency) (Same with Bee)

After the events of ouaw, I imagine Kremy would start Carnivale Lecroux back up (he would even promote it as “the NEW and IMPROVED Carnivale Lecroux!”, even though it’s just barely improved). He’s actually paying his employees in money now, rather than IOUs (because he would not like a repeat of last time, thank you very much). Granted, it’s not a LOT of money, maybe a gold piece or two every other week, but hey! It’s money!

As far as actual jobs around the Carnivale go, things are mostly unchanged.

Torbek’s been bumped up to helping Gideon with security, as well as the usual rescue/climbing on things. Sometimes he helps run the games, but he’s usually left alone in the shadows.

Gricko runs a miniature petting zoo, in which the animals involved are Hootsie and his spirits made corporeal. Every other hour, Gricko will pull out his ocarina, and the spirits will dance around and entertain guests while Hootsie is doing her little jig and looking cute (this is also the performance he does in the “Big Top” at the end of each night. He is by far the favorite amongst children).

Gideon’s role has been mostly unchanged. He is both the repairman and security (however if Gideon is currently busy with repairs, Torbek helps with the security aspect). He is almost never seen around the games or rides beyond either talking to whoever is running them, or repairing them. He also has a performance in the “Big Top”, which is a lot like his performance in the Witchlight Carnival (where he lights his chains on fire and makes a big show of it), and he is usually the last show of the night

Kremy is, of course, the owner, so most of his work is handled in his trailer (which is another improvement the Carnivale has made, though this only applies to each member of the Krew). He handles most of the ordering, profits, and the like. When he’s not doing that, he can be found wandering the Carnivale, talking to his friends, not-so-subtly watching his husband work, or bossing his other employees around (or being yelled at by angry customers). At the end of the night, while he does not necessarily have an act of his own, he does introduce each act before they’re performed at the “Big Top” (which, btw, is just a large ring in the dirt surrounded by cheap wooden benches. They used to have a tent, once, but, well…you have a lot of risks when your husband is a fire genasi and his main act is throwing his fire around. Coincidentally, this is also the same day where Kremy moved Gid’s act to the end, rather than the beginning)

Frost, like Kremy, works mostly behind the scenes. He helps Kremy with the legal paperwork (lawsuits and the like), since Frost seems to enjoy that sort of thing whereas it gives Kremy a headache. When Frost isn’t doing that, he is either in the local town grocery shopping, or is wandering the Carnivale and talking to Gricko or Torbek if they’re not busy. He doesn’t have an act of his own, but he will still be found by the “Big Top” by the end of the night, looking for any issues or suspicious figures, and mentally letting Kremy and/or Gideon know if he senses that something has gone awry.

As far as trailers go, only the main Krew have them. Frost, Torbek, and Gricko each have their own trailer, whereas Kremy and Gideon share a larger trailer (Kremy argued it was to save money, but considering the noises that come from that trailer throughout the night, they all knew that was a lie). There’s very little space in each trailer, but they serve their primary function (plus, it beats sleeping on the ground). There’s also a communal cooking pot in the center of the living area, though very rarely does anyone other than Kremy use it (and he usually cooks enough for just about all of the staff to eat at least one plate of food, so there’s very little complaint there).

They say a parent should never have to bury a child. It’s one of the saddest things that can happen. 

As an elf, death was never something you ever really thought about. You will live for hundreds, thousands of years. It’s a length of time almost impossible to imagine. The difference between your lifespan and forever is really not that distinguishable on a day-to-day basis. Sure, accidents can happen. They have an unusual frequency in your family. But it’s just coincidence, not something to worry about. 

There is this stigma that elves are… sad. Perhaps melancholic is the correct word. If you think about it too much, it makes sense. You worked with other races, with humans, with half-elves. With people who will only be alive for such a small fraction of your lifetime. To build a relationship with a non-elf is to know that, someday, it will end. This is inevitable. 

There are some elves who live their whole lives in fear of that inevitable end. The joy that can be experienced in those 50, 60, 70 years with a human is not worth the grief you will hold for the rest of your life. Others find themselves mourning that death long before their non-elf loved one ever dies. 

You never intentionally steered clear of forming relationships with non-elves. It just so happened that the woman who completely swept you off your feet was an elf. And boy, did she sweep you. You had plans, a structure, work that meant something. You were doing something you could picture yourself spending effectively eternity doing. But she came along and in even the short time you originally planned to spend together, the thought of not being with her was just unbearable.

(Maybe you understood even then the sadness felt by those elves with their non-immortal loved ones)

So you go off with her, change your entire life because making her happy makes you happy. 

And you have a child. A beautiful baby girl.

She looks so much like her mother.

You’re going to have almost forever with her. And on dark days, days where you struggle to see the colours that make up the world, she gives you hope. Once, you thought there was nobody you’d want to spend time with more than your wife, but this girl… she is so full of life. She has an impossible spirit and determination. She is music, and art, and everything good in the world. Any doubts you’ve ever had about what your life will be like in a hundred, two hundred, five hundred years time, whether it will still be worth living, are gone the moment you look at her. Because you don’t know what the future will be like but she’ll be there so it can’t be that bad.

You never thought about having to bury her. Why would you? She’s an elf. She’ll live for thousands of years. Just like you. Just like her mother.

But then… 

Horns. 

Then the woman who swept you off your feet and changed your entire life confesses she had an affair. It was a silly, brief mistake. She wanted some excitement. The stability you provided wasn’t what she felt she deserved. She screwed up. 

And your daughter isn’t your daughter. She is. She’s not your blood. She’s not… 

It doesn’t hit you straight away. There are so many feelings. The hurt, betrayal, anger. Blaming yourself, blaming your (now ex-) wife. Blaming the other man. The other man. The other man who is not an elf.

And eventually, it does dawn on you. Even as your daughter accepts you back into her life, even as she tries to spend an alarming amount of time with you, you know this is only temporary. You’ve heard other elves call the life of a half-elf a blink of an eye. Is it really that? Her father, her biological father, isn’t mortal. So maybe… 

It doesn’t matter how long your daughter lives, because it will be nothing compared to your life span, stretching on to near eternity. And in five hundred years, she will be gone. And you… will you want to be here?

But cheer up. You can’t mourn her before she’s gone. You just have to make the most of the time you have, even if it’s serving her tatter-tots in the school cafeteria.

Just thinking about Davrin flirting in that confident way of his, and Lucanis bursts out into the most embarrassing, nervous giggle before running off.

Do not complain to me about how hard it is to navigate ao3 on mobile, young one. I hid under the bleachers and read Spirk fanfics on a BlackBerry during gym class. We are not the same.

I made a vow to myself I was going to participate in OCkissweek for the first time this year, but life got in the way

Coloured this sketch of Gabriel and Silas so I'd at least be able to post something on the last day of the event

To be completely and utterly painful, my assumption was that Erik had either already died before Logan and Charles went on the run, or Erik was one of the people Charles killed during that seizure.

its actually wild how youve both decided to kill me today it's not even 8AM
