you wanted zoro to be on whole cake island to fulfil your weird desire to see zoro punish sanji. I wanted zoro on whole cake island because I think he's stupid enough to right place wrong time the plan and accidentally marry Sanji in full view of the whole wedding party in what becomes the most elaborately constructed comedy of errors ever written. we are NOT the same.

luke fumbling in recruiting percy has to be one of his greatest failures. a beautiful thing the show does regarding luke and percy's relationship is building rapport between them through shared moments like settling into camp, eating meals together, but especially through swordfighting lessons. the swordfighting scene at the beginning of episode 8 not only reveals that percy and luke already share similar beliefs about the fear-based system the gods have cultivated, but it's clear the conversation stays with percy when he fights ares and later calls out zeus on his waning skills as a father and a king. however, luke's plan fell through the moment percy learned that the winged-shoes were meant to drag him to tartarus. not only that, but the shoes nearly killed grover, a friend percy cared for deeply. if nourishing loyalty and trust was the key to ensuring a partnership with percy, then it was luke's faulty planning, arrogance, and impatience that cost him the greatest ally he could ask for.

Danny couldn't tell you what he expected, but it most definitely wasn't this.

Time and Space were weird in the Infinite Realms, both bending to the will of their masters and no one all at once. They didn't follow a line or a path. Time and Space did as they wanted. Fitting, considering who their masters are.

The first time Danny was ten years old, his Grandfather killed him. He remembers that, in an effort to save him, his mother submerged his body in the Lazarus Pits he and his brother had been warned about ever going near.

As it was explained to him, the Infinite Realms has a base level of sentience at the very least. She allows herself to peak into the worlds She cradles to keep an eye on them. She found Danny when his mother had lowered him into the water and She claimed him as Her own. She bent Time to Her will, making Danny a toddler again, before bending Space to drop him in the world that would most allow him to grow. She promised that She would come back for him when the time was right.

The first time Danny was fourteen, after the second time he had been ten, he died. The parents he had learned to accept as his own tried to open an unnatural gateway into the Infinite Realms. He was the one to turn it on. The electricity of the mortal world killed him, but the energy from the Infinite Realms revived him.

He remembers the whispers barely heard under his own screams. Whispers and imprints of "I'm sorry" and "I do not mean to hurt you" and "You will only grow stronger" and "Welcome back, my champion".

Danny can count on one hand the number of times he's felt safe between the first time he was six and the first time his was fourteen. He can tell you the names of exactly two places he has never felt the need to hide from.

The day Danny turned fifteen for the first time, he told his parents what happened to him. He knew, instinctually, that they would not understand, that they are researchers before they are parents. But he held onto the hope that had been trained out of him when he was first four years old. He had hoped that they would go against all odds and accept and help him.

He shut down the portal the very next day. He destroyed it and all of his parents' lives work. He would not stand by and let them hurt his people when he could not be there to interfere. He escaped back into the embrace of the Infinite Realms through Vlad's portal, giving him the Order to destroy it. The only way for the citizens of the Realms to enter the mortal worlds was to use natural portals, as unstable and unpredictable as they are. He would not risk them again.

He finds himself wandering listlessly, letting the Realms take him where She wants him to go. Sometimes She takes him to places that are completely empty, places where he can mourn what he lost without anyone finding him. Sometimes She takes him to his mentors and friends. Sometimes She takes him where he needs to be.

Danny finds the boy just as the natural portal closes behind him, the sickly green and black oozing like a festering wound.

The boy looks similar to Danny. His hair is spiked, his clothing dulled shades of a hero's costume under a black cloak, a mask covering his eyes, his body being more filled out to match his age. But Danny, on every level of understanding that he is and ever will be capable of, knows that this is his brother.

"Damian?" he whispers. The Realms push him forward. "Damian!"

Danny cradles the body of his brother, slowly sinking to the ground the Realms produce for him to land on. He carefully peels the mask from his face and lays it beside the katana on the ground.

As expected of anyone who finds their way into the Infinite Realms without proper protections, Damian has no pulse. He is not breathing. He is cold. The wound under his sternum is not bleeding.

Danny brushed his thumbs under Damian's eyes, his hands on his cheeks. "What did they do to you, ahki?"

Despite having no mortal ability to do so, Damian's eyes opened. He started ahead, blinking when his green eyes met Danny's. "Danyal?"

Tears fell from his eyes as he nodded. "Hi, Damian. You're here early."

Tears fell from Damian's eyes as well. He knew where he was. There was only one explanation. He couldn't feel himself breathing, nor could he hear his heart beat or his blood flow. There was no pain from where his mother had run him through.

"She killed me!" Damian cried into his brother's shoulder.

Danny held him tighter. "I'm so sorry," No one should ever have to go like that.

"Father couldn't save me."

"It's okay."

"Dick and Tim and Jason and Cass-!"

"Shh, ahki. You will see them again. I'll make sure of it."

The brothers held each other as they cried. The Realms wrapped Herself around the boys, comforting them as she could. Her champion and his brother, both children She had claimed and would protect.

Finders Keepers warm up sketches b4 I start designing some character stuff

I missed themm

The DCAs arms/hands keep breaking because of how much they move and do silly acrobatics, pairing that with some leftover water+fire damage, it is one of the things that Y/N has to repair often;

New compatible parts are hard to find + expensive (considering how old the DCAs model is), so Y/N normally has to go to old faztech electronic trash dumps to find something that might work, which is usually pieces of other similar-looking Attendants from some old FAZCO animatronic line. You really hope sun and moon don't know about this, or else things will get awkward

Shadow has canonically disguised himself into Zelda

Fanfic prompt: Considering how much shadow x four is present in the fandom

People could have the opportunity to do the most unhinged things

Like if Wind is four's descendant

And he is together with shadow

What does this imply about their relationship in the near future

It’s not made easy by the fact that wind has dark eyes

Extreme strength and magic stamina (his canonical skull hammer and his magic arrows)

AND he is a little shit

Like the sheer emotional dread and damage that four would experience When he sees a shadow like smirk on wind's face

He would have the opposite reaction to time when it turns out he has a descendant with his stupid brain damaged partner

Like whenever I see fourdow I just want to know if anyone has considered what it implies about wind

I man shadow is a shapeshifter and has shapeshifted into Zelda on several occasions

So….

Four will probably have an aneurysm if he sees shadow and wind with the exact same smirk as a burning building collapse next to them

Like imagine the amount of judgement he would face when the other members of the chain find out about the fact that wind has a demon ancestor

AND four is his other ancestor

it's funny to me looking back on all the post s4 people just so confused by stella's existence. like i understand the doylist and/or capitalist urge to question the sudden animal sidekick but there is also not a SINGLE reality in which a lonely and depressed teenage girl who lives on her own in the wilderness for two years DOESN'T adopt an animal. especially THIS lonely depressed teenage girl like she is such an animal mother it's disgusting

So after Donnie leaves them, why doesn't Draxum just...kidnap him back?

Like, yeah he'd be upset about it, but he'd be safe. Draxum's got two kids that can jumpstart the whole Stockholm Syndrome thing for him, and Donnie would be away from the humans. His kids have already kidnapped him once. It's HIS kid, tf are the police gonna say?

So here's the thing, they COULD just kidnap Donnie and keep him locked up until he agrees to join them. Buuuut y'know they're kinda in the middle of this whole taking-over-the-world-thing and worrying about keeping Donnie from escaping and/or blowing up their home again would kinda get in the way of that lol

To clarify - Draxum absolutely wants Donnie to join them, but the way he sees it they're not exactly on much of a deadline when it comes to that. If anything he's very concious of the fact that Donnie joinging them would include him having to change his entire view on humanity and Splinter, which would inevitably take A While. Draxum also figures that after yōkai take over the world, Donnie will get to see with his own eyes that the Draxum's strategy of improving the world is obviously the right choice! As such it would be easier to get Donnie to agree with them by showing concrete proof of their superior ideals, as opposed to arguing using only hypotheticals.

Overall, Draxum figures it would be a lot more effective giving Donnie space to let him change his mind in his own time, especially if taking over the world also leads to Donnie joining them, two birds in one stone and all that. Aside from that, Mikey also wants to let Donnie come to terms with the "truth" on his own, and Leo doesn't wanna force Donnie to come home with them because he's salty that Donnie doesn't want to join them. That leaves Raph as the only one supporting the forcefully-saving-Donnie-plan. Raph, being the protective big brother that he is, thinks keeping Donnie safe in a locked room until he changes his mind is a GREAT idea! But yeah no he got outvoted :(
