Prompt 125
So. Apparently touching unknown artifacts is bad. Who would have thought. Not the Dannys that’s for sure. They had been distracted with their prank war after all.
But uh, now they’re in a new world, with a black-haired child staring at them with borderline stars in his ice-blue eyes.
Nine year old Bruce just saw some sort of portal open up (MAGIC?!), and drop some sort of really spherical eggs that hatched into what he’s pretty sure are some sort of raptors within two seconds. A trio of feathery raptors that he takes inside to show Alfred, who would be far more worried if not for it being the first time he’s seen Bruce smile in nearly a year.
Well it seems they have a trio of sapient raptors. That can apparently breathe fire, ice, and electricity respectively. They can… totally deal with this. At least that robber didn’t lose their foot.
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#their ghost forms got turned from humanoid to freaking ghost dinosaur things#they aren't too sure#Hilariously like Cujo they can go from chicken size to small car size#their sibling rivalry reared its head and now they're competing to be the best older sibling to Bruce#Ah yes Batman and his trio of raptor gods of course#They do regain their human forms... eventually it just takes a while for things to stabilize#Alfred and Bruce help them make fake IDs that have them as Bruce's half cousins#Eventually#For now the lil dino-loving autistic bby is in temporary heaven

Anyway my main takeaway from the fandom's reactions to the "Toichi and Yusaku are twins/Kaishin are cousins" reveal:
#And I love both#But this time the family is just so disfunctional and so messy that that side takes the cake#Dcmk#Detective conan#Magic kaito#Kaito kid#Dcmk movie 27#Detective conan movie 27#the million dollar pentagram#I feel the rivalry stans tough... If at some point Zoro and Sanji would be revealed to be cousins I would lose my s*it

bart and wally aka the “we have a hard time understanding love because of our childhoods” gang
#bart allen#wally west#flashfam#the thing about bart and wally is that#yes they annoy each other to no end but make no mistake they also have a warrior’s bond that transcends cousin rivalry#do you guys remember the ‘bart&wally Turning Point’ issue of impulse where bart took them back to BLUE VALLEY.#AUGH.

You know, these past two episodes I was thinking to myself, Su Yin is almost perfect in every way, simply the ideal devoted, protective, loyal, dedicated sworn brother, call him Da-ge indeed!!!, but my one piece of constructive criticism is that he needs to learn how to give real hugs - he does a lot of manful shoulder clasping, but Xiaobao is a shivering chihuahua desperately in need of cuddles and body heat, you gotta HUG THAT BOY - but now I see that Su Yin's hugs are simply reserved for his horrible little gremlin of an imperial cousinwife.
#myatb#myatb spoilers#meet you at the blossom#lol jinbao zhaocai and su yin are all canonically part of xiaobao's nuclear family...#and all of them get horrible boyfs of their very own!#no sibling rivalry needed! husband destroyers for all#(zhaocai i'm manifesting this for you offscreen dw you're still included)#shaoyu thinks he's in a palace drama and xiaobao is the lowly concubine he can trample all over to his indomitable empress#baby you're not empress yet. wait for emperor your cousin to marry you first... or i guess to become emperor yourself if that ever happens#anyway i am making a micro post instead of trying to capture all the things i've been loving about these episodes#but i REALLY REALLY LOVE THIS SHOW!!!#i hate when the episodes end! give me more right now!!!#jinbao is number one at serving!!! of course random men would immediately want to possess him - he gets it!!!!#and ep7 but xiaobao is obvi very preoccupied by his whump but relieved madam jin at least is still thinking of her daughter as family#and i appreciate that su yin despite being so obvi in love w/ xiaobao isn't actually interested in forcing him to not feel what he feels#for huaien. he just wants him to be well. will he be angry when xiaobao hops right back into this guy's arms in a few weeks? idk!#but for right now it's nice to see him nonjudgmentally assuring him he doesn't have to magically stop feeling things for this guy#oh and xiaobao like 'i will be good from now on. i will just sit depressed in my room.' OWWIE#and practicing looking cheerful for his mom and dad in the mirror. OWWIE OWWIE!!!#dear diary

i love this season of WFA, don't get me wrong. but i do kind of wish it explored other conflicts than just Bat-fam members and Bruce. There are like 20 characters, it can't be that the only person with whom they have issues is Bruce!
#dc comics#batman#dc#bruce wayne#wayne family adventures#shouldn't at least tim and damian have some beef#bring back that fabled rivalry between barbara and duke#i get that it is satisfying to have an authority figure be wrong and apologize and mean it when you're a kid#but lets have alfred be the bad guy for a change#or kate#i have NOT read elegy#but kate kane definitely has evil undertones#gaslight gatekeep girlboss by traumatizing your orphan cousin by having him relive his parents death#and plot with your dad to rob him and mock him

Academically established reading of Wives and Daughters as a Darwinian manifesto my beloathed.
#Elizabeth Gaskell#“Gaskell's fiction is dominantly concerned with adaptability to change”#have you maybe considered that the cause is most likely her living though times of deep and radical social cultural and economical change#Instead of somehow her having chatted up all of Darwin's theories the one or two times they met because they were cousins#You don't even have proof that she read The Origin of the Species!#Presenting Cynthia and Molly's rivalry over Roger's affections as a struggle for survival is bold considering how...#romantic rivalry... is a long established trope...#I'll shut up and go back to my reading

As I've plugged along through DAII microexploring Kirkwall (and meeting all Hawke's 'year of servitude' colleagues/connections that they very clearly fostered carefully), and listening to the Layers in Leandra, Carver etc, what strikes me is that it's less a Peaky-DAII fusion-AU verse that compels me, but rather a DAII verse which applies some of that very striking Peaky lens, particularly to the crime-rise of Hawke, the class dynamic, the family dynamic, to the conscious articulation of those barriers and the nature of passing through. (Not forgetting the Veil/Fade becomes another passing-through.) The over-the-desk 'they will never let us [back] in' that Leandra struggles so viciously to swallow. The guilt for the precipitating event that she carries, sees, in Hawke's 'so like your father' face. Yes, cascades, environmental conditions, class/sociological conditions, all that contributions to choice limitations etc etc etc but Leandra *never* had to leave: she chose, she is not to blame, but she was the precipitator. Orsino's 'they should have killed us at birth'/why do they even bother letting us live - cannot help but wonder if on the dark nights Hawke ever sat and stared at their sleeping mother and thought some unthinkable things.
Because I've been letting the kidlet choose the dialogue, he's not being consistent about one kind of Hawke, either, so I'm hearing things that I don't necessarily remember from the first batch of playing those years ago. What strikes me is that any version of mage!Hawke is unspeakably pragmatic about their position in society. Gamlan is pragmatic. Carver is pragmatic (if angry). But Leandra is fascinatingly not and so fascinatingly unselfaware compared to the self-awareness imbued in her children.
Anyway: the anger in Hawke. I want the anger in Hawke and I want it in a manner I have yet to find in any DAII fanfic. I want a Hawke where rage demons bow and fawn, lapping at their feet. I want Hawke standing in the stairs of their regained Amell mansion staring at Anders mouthing off about blood magic or something and just losing their fucking shit. I want Hawke viciously and repetitively using blood magic because they've realised it distances the Fade: blood magic kills the dreams; the dreams are nightmares irrespective of literal or subconscious demons; blood magic is a better/worse high than lyrium with more lasting effects.
#i also debate whether it's a Peaky lens or whether it's just that (10?) years later I am interested in a different slant#it's not that I was unaware of DAII's framing back in the day and there was a definitely compellingness there still#but it was fuzzier and hidden by the friend-dynamic and friendship+rivalry mechanism emphasised in the game#what i would give for gamlen leandra and charade to also have a friendship-rivalry band XD#and what a name for a bastard cousin: charade. dare we say: charade amell#LITERALLY: the amell charade. amazing and previously underappreciated stuff

Ginger and Gingerbread or something, I don't know I didn't grow up with this show
#but the truth is NO ONE GREW UP WITH THIS SHOW!!! I came up with the project!!!#...well I guess that means I did grow up with it lol#anyway#Ginger (right) and Gingerbread (left) is a series about a sister and brother gingerbread cookies that get stuck in Gingerbread land#thanks to -and I'm not joking- a peppermint watch Gingerbread has that can traverse dimensions#It also included their Aunt(?) Cake and their cousins as well as the annoying next-door kid Sugar- I mean Sergeant#(who of course has an incessant crush on Ginger)#(but he does get better I promise)#theres also a human antagonist a cookie version of said antagonist and a “pretty” girl named Pepper who everyone (Ginger) hated#(and likewise Gingerbread had an incessant crush on Pepper but unlike Sergeant it does NOT get better with those two)#(also Pepper is Human Gingerbread Cookie whatever's cousin. So that's fun!)#The cousins were the most generic characters ever but I still love them#They were Cutie (the baby) Hungry (the... self explanatory) Gothy (also self explanatory) Scaredy (need I say more) and Sassy#Sassy was the bratty older teenager with a new boyfriend every week of course.#In the original series Sergeant was adopted by Aunt Cake and he and Sassy had a sibling rivalry#I may just make him an orphan now... lol... but I'll still make the Cake Cousins his found family#why did I not think of the cake cousins as a name sooner#anywho. This show gives me intense 2000s disney channel/CN vibes to me let me know what you think of this 3+ year old idea lol#art#digital art#krita#gingerandgingerbreadseries#gingerbread man#original series#also I gave Gingerbread the hat to improve his silhouette is it dumb or no (/hj)#story idea#original idea#oh I forgot someone! There was a cool girl named Angel(ica) and she was Scaredy's friend who became his girlfriend later in the show#i loved the two#oh hey should I make more of these drawings of the rest of the cast/the cast I want to keep

I was gonna respond to @httyd-nerd in the reply section of my last Httyd/The Deep post, but it was getting long so I’m just putting it here where I can further elaborate on my frustrations and dilemma.
Part of writing this crossover is figuring out how characters from opposite shows will react and get along with one another. And to the surprise of who knows who else but absolutely not me, Alpheus has been a bit tricky in figuring this out. This might be a tangent on how I view his character, especially in how I write him, but partly to demonstrate how FRUSTRATED he’s making me.
Alpheus is not my favorite character. He’s not my least favorite, not by far. He’s just not my blorbo like I know he is for others. But he is an interesting character to write entirely because of how layered and flawed he is. He’s the epitome of an unreliable narrator, he thinks fairly high of himself and his own abilities, and has a lot of unresolved issues he refuses to resolve because he’s way too paranoid to get help. This makes for interesting relationships with other characters.
Except I’m really struggling with figuring out how he may get along with Dagur. It doesnt’ help that Dagur in this story, specifically the start, is a mix of his later RTTE counterpart, and his early version. He’s still deranged, but he’s enthusiastically optimistic to the point of coming across as insane too, and a bit softer because he grew up with Heather, and started dragon riding WAY earlier than he did in the show. Dagur and Alpheus are a bit similar to me in that they’re both the slightly mentally unbalanced enemy to the main protagonists, who are redeemed later down the line. Unfortunately, to me, I feel that’s where similarities wind up ending. They’ve got different personalities and goals and ways of going about them. They’ve got different backgrounds, and talents. And in some ways I can actually see them clashing. And it’s mostly because of Alpheus’s own flaws, for me at least.
Alpheus is an interesting character, and the few times I’ve written him he’s always been really fun because of how I dive into his psyche and how he perceives things. He’s a dramatic loser who instigates a rivalry with a thirteen year old, naming the thirteen year old his nemesis, and then loses to said thirteen year old hundreds of times. He’s probably wanted for a few felonies because of all the times he’s hacked the WOA and who knows who else, and might not even exist in the name of the law because we don’t know how long he was with the Guardians. This guy might not even have a birth certificate. Alpheus is an interesting character, and I’ve grown to like working with him…thing is he’s got a bit of a stick up his butt in regard to himself. He’s arrogant about his own intelligence, certainly being very intelligent, running his sub and modifying ARIA with little issues from a relatively young age, and evading all authorities for a very long time. But he’s socially stupid because he was raised by the Guardians, and I don’t think he was ever faced with the challenge of learning something from someone smarter than him, let alone interacting with someone as smart as or smarter than him. I think for the longest time Alpheus was the smartest person in the room, and never had to deal with someone actually challenging his own intellect. This isn’t helped with him not having an idea on how to respectfully talk to other people either.
Connected to that, Alpheus kind of brushes off anyone he doesn’t deem worth his time. His main focus was always finding Lemuria and getting the device (as he never actually learns what it is) to control the Monumentials, and also his somewhat one-sided rivalry with Ant. Ant was the only character I really remember him actually acknowledging. When he first met Fontaine, he just brushed off her attempts at breaking into his sub like she were a tiny, pesky fly, and he never really acknowledged her beyond being a nuisance through the rest of the show. I remember when Kaiko was mad about something (i don’t specifically remember the episode) he just commented ‘Mothers. So emotional.’ Didn’t really acknowledge her. I don’t even really remember any interaction he’s had with Will, which just adds to this. When they’re dealing with the Jellyfish Monumential, he brushes off everything Kaiko says, which can be alluded to spending a few months alone and losing his mind trying to escape, but there were other times he doubted her skills and abilities, specifically her piloting maneuvers when it came to escaping the Jellyfish. Even though, with his stalking tendencies, he had to know she was an accomplished submarine pilot. But he couldn’t do anything to escape, so why should she be able to do anything? Whenever Ant or anyone else opposed what Alpheus said was fact, he always kind of dismissed them, because I think in his mind there was no way they knew better than him. He only ever focused on Ant because he said himself that Ant was worthy of being his nemesis, or something along those lines, i don’t remember the specific words. But to me, he just always brushes off anyone he doesn’t see as worth his time and effort, doesn’t take them as seriously.
Which is where it’s hard for me to figure out his dynamic with Dagur. Dagur is an accomplished warrior, and certainly no idiot. He’s smart in his own right, and proved to be a real problem for Berk and the Riders many times. He was no Hiccup in regard to intelligence, but he’s not stupid. He’s got a bit of a temper, an obsession with being obsessed with everything he does, and doesn’t really give up ever. Man hounded Hiccup for four years to be his brother until Hiccup finally accepted the adoption. But he’s got Deranged in his name, and I just can’t help but think that Alpheus might not think too highly of him. Dagur’s plans are a lot more thought on the fly while following a loose rubric he came up with five minutes before hand, with a lot more brute strength, whereas Alpheus plans with his head and ahead of time. I just can’t help but think that Alpheus wouldn’t immediately respect Dagur, thinking he’s a crazy lunatic who doesn’t think anything through (which isn’t entirely wrong), and isn’t smart enough to understand anything Alpheus says. I think he’d just dismiss anything Dagur says about anything going on, especially when it comes to planning, which would drive Dagur insane, as he is quick to rise with a temper sometimes. I see them clashing at first, because Alpheus is still Alpheus and is obsessed with Ant, except by that point Dagur has claimed Ant as his brother, and he was there first(which now that I’m thinking about it, opens up some interesting potential for Alpheus and Viggo interacting. Viggo is essentially an older, more experienced, and grounded Alpheus after all, who also has prior interaction with Ant). I think it would take Dagur coming up with something that forces Alpheus to acknowledge that no, he’s not actually stupid, for things to change, but where they change I don’t know, because Alpheus is filled with pride and an inability to admit he’s wrong, and Dagur is a proud Berserker, in every aspect.
I do see Dagur getting a kick out of messing with Alpheus, which just pisses Alpheus off.
#at best i can see them just tolerating one another#alpheus doens’t really acknowledge Dagur but he doesn’t insult him straight to his face#Dagur being a better hand to hand fighter than Alpheus probably doesnt’ hurt either#Alpheus eventually realizes that Dagur is not stupid#and he can absolutely take Alpheus in a fight should push come to shove#so he just begrudgingly accepts their differences and carries on in life while side-eying Dagur the whole time#though#i am now very excited to potentially write Alpheus interacting with Viggo#i can kind of see him being intimidated by Viggo#Viggo has a reputation. he’s smart and ruthless and older and far more experienced than Alpheus#he ran an empire until Ant and the riders came along#Alpheus just stuck to the shadows and his corner of the world#he tires to act like he’s not scared but he can tell Viggo knows he freaks Alpheus out#Viggo has Alpheus’s brains. but the ability to turn a social situation in his favor. which Alpheus sucks at#oo this makes me excited to think of scenes between the pair of them#(Viggo singing Ants praises. while simultaneously intimidating Alpheus. wouldn’t help Alpheus personal rivalry with Ant me thinks)#his tiny cousin bested Viggo Grimborn of all people#and trained a Night Fury of all dragons#Alpheus is invested#the deep 2015#the deep cartoon#httyd/the deep crossover#alpheus benthos#httyd dagur#mentions of: Viggo Grimborn and Ant Nekton#httyd

Just realized I forgot to post these
#keese draws#oc art#oc#ocs#these guys are from the same story as the grape twins btw#root beer is their cousin and one of the four main characters#dragons beard is merlot's boyfriend and fellow antagonist#and lemon taffy is the older sibling of one of the other main characters who spends most of the story 'kidnapped'#and by kidnapped I mean the super villain polycule asked them if they could help them with some tests and they went 👍#important context! lemon taffy (and their two siblings) are the kids of three superheroes and merlot and fox grape are the kids of four#supervillains both of which are mostly absent for the main story (although the supervillains at least get to be more of side characters)#the heroes are off in space dealing with alien political drama that doesn't matter to the main plot#the two groups have a fairly casual rivalry but they still have genuine beef#merlot and fox grape were left home alone after their parents set out to work on some big project and merlot took the chance to go fuck#off and get a boyfriend to do crime with leaving fox grape desperately trying to find them and get them to come back home#and for the other side root beer was roped into helping rescue lemon taffy by their two younger siblings pop rock and jelly bean#he and pop rock are the main duo on that side with jelly bean being their guy in the chair#merlot and dragons beard are mostly antagonists to those three with fox grape and the other main guy cayenne pepper chasing after them#cayenne is dragon beards childhood friend and I have never drawn him before despite adoring him 😔#hes such a piece of shit I love him#in my old original concepts for him he was going to be an incel but then my brain went but what if. aro. and I instantly hard committed#hes a bitchy asshole who's made all the more annoying by the fact that his anxieties are low key completely justified#hes a sad wet cat abandoned in a cardboard box all alone 😔#oh yeah also worth noting that root beer is a vampire who has a strained relationship with his adoptive dads#oh and dragons beard's parents are a dragon and a royal fae so he has a lot of power that he doesnt know how to use lol#lemon taffy is like. sort of part dragon in a very distant way? their grandma was a failed revival of an old god who was a dragon who made#their dad out of her own magic which included that same magic from the dragon god who was basically made of magic#so he was also sort of part dragon but not really? idk its complicated#merlot and fox grape are miraculously not part dragon somehow despite my track record of making too many ppl dragons in this world#they are however vampires and also directly decend from a god so thats fun

3.4Hz Harmony could be a great album name I feel. For band names, I was going to suggest Unknowables? Like the secret nature of the existence of other realms. Mostly because it just sounds like a cool band name though.
that's a good one actually!! now i'm thinking of song titles and everything... i can't decide whether they'd be pop-rock or psychedelic rock... maybe both
i like "unknowables"! it reminds me of a suggestion from @/reblogs-are-the-love, "the unbeatable" - the unverbables just works as a band name i think...
i was reminded of the band names ik suggests in ch47 (gaggle of geese, army of frogs).. i feel like "unknowables" and "the unbeatable" would be mephistopheles and thirteen's suggestions respectively, but then ik wanted to have more fun with it, so it's like "the unknowable geese", or "the unbeatable frogs"
(raphael would be fully willing to vote on her side to give her this victory)
#answering asks#anon asks#i was contemplating the au version of the whole thing and i think it'd be cute if mephistopheles was ik's older cousin or something#like idk i feel like it works#(also more justifies why this band has three grown adults and one young teen)#idk how the brothers and the others fit into this though. maybe mephistopheles and the brothers were originally under the same company#and while mephistopheles was having a rivalry with lucifer ik was making best friends with all of them

will never understand moral panicking over feyd-rautha and paul being cousins like they’re royal heirs who were selectively bred by a eugenics cult i think their toxic yaoi being slightly “problematic” because it’s incestuous is the least of our problems
#fandomification of dune is really the worst thing ever#take your sensitive ass back to star wars#one of them murders servants for fun and the other is an evil dictator#like them being cousins is fine actually that’s the least bad thing about them#that’s not to say i enjoy shipping content of them#see: fandomification of dune bad#but i do appreciate the homoerotic tension of their rivalry#and some implication of what could have been had paul not been born a man#idk it’s interesting in the books and was played well in the film#dune#606.txt
