I loved the energy Ivy and Frost displayed through their interest and knowledge of science in the 2015 web series of DC Super Hero Girls (gen 1). It had made them an affected team.

I nicknamed the two; "PoisonFrost."

REVIEW

A Punishing Breed by DC Frost

Detective DJ Arias

This was a book I almost didn’t finish. I read the beginning to about 15% and was overloaded with characters and trying to figure out how they fit into the story and not much invested…so…I did what I often do…I read the last few chapters in the book and was still left underwhelmed so decided to read some from the middle and then went back to read from the 15% mark. And…I am glad that I did BECAUSE it all came together eventually. I never warmed to Detective Arias but did come away hoping he might improve over time.

What I liked: * That I did not give up

* Danny Mendoza: gardener at Hesperia College, life disrupted & and dreams crushed in his freshman year of college, begins to find his purpose and way forward in this book. I liked him.

* The Watcher: lives in a rundown home and is bullied by neighborhood children, survivor, resilient, loner, seems to be more than what is first perceived, intrigued by him and hope his future improves

* The plot and setting - I grew up in Eagle Rock and could identify with the location

* Evidence: rescue dog that may play a part in the future of the series

* Being able to dislike many of the characters for valid reasons and not feel badly about the murder of the first victim

* The potential for the series

* Detective DJ Arias: I am not enamored of this man though he might be a good detective…he seemed to have significant flaws that he perhaps can overcome as the series progresses

* Talbot: seems to be a positive partner to balance Arias’s rather gruff grumpy acerbic personality

* That all the threads of the murder mystery were tied up by the end of the book

What I didn’t like:

* Who and what I was meant not to like

* That more than one man was a despicable and treated women poorly, preyed on them, or were despicable in one way or another

*  That there were no women to admire or that I could relate to and hope there might be a strong woman introduced in the future

Did I like this book? Not at first but it grew on me

Would I read another book in this series? Maybe

Thank you to NetGalley and Red Hen-Canis Major for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3-4 Stars

*Recommended in The New York Times*

A Punishing Breed, the first in a series of novels featuring Detective DJ Arias, is a murder mystery that takes place in Los Angeles, the city of angels, freeways, Santa Ana winds, and honeysuckle slithering through chain-link fences and perfuming LA's dark streets and neighborhoods. Detective Arias hunts for a murderer on a liberal arts campus that prides itself on its progressive curriculum but is rife with jealousy, racial and sexual tensions, and a hierarchy as real and destructive as a medieval fortress. DJ Arias, good at his job because he sees the worst in people, is challenged by the college community, a neighborhood recluse, and a young Latino gardener he sent to jail ten years ago for a hit-and-run accident. Through the course of his investigation, Arias will find out no one is who they appear to be. He begins to reclaim his humanity by adopting a dog he names Evidence and finding the clues to a crime born from a dark secret not contained in the past but alive in the present, which will cast destruction and murder on the denizens of the small liberal arts campus.

Prompt

Soulmate au where, in the dp universe, you hear your soulmate sing, while in the dc verse, soulmates have matching tattoos that glow when the other person is dying/hurt, and keeps glowing after they die. Danny doesn’t ever hear any singing, so he figured he just didn’t have one, and doesn’t notice the mark on his thigh . Unbeknownst to him, his soulmate (insert dc character) is getting more and more nervous about their soulmate, who they could hear singing for some reason, who keeps on dying!!!!!

One of the funniest bits in comics is Captain Cold absolutely despising every other cold/snow/ice/freeze themed villain. Nothing but seething contempt for all of them. Just hates their guts. Iconic.

Based on “The Frost” by Mitski

When I first heard this song I immediately thought of them. It’s honestly so tragic to me how they aged Jon up in the comics and his life is reaching so far in this short amount of time when he’s still supposed to be a child.

The last to images can also be associated with another Mitski song which lyrics go “You have so much to do, and I have nothing ahead of me.” I think it fits in Damian perspective. While we know Damian is going to move on and grown a person and with relationships. Jon has already done that so I think he feels as if he has lost this person who he did so much with and is now doing so much good with another person/people. Like they still do talk and see each other in some comics but now there is a gap in it. I do think it’s good that they get to shine by themselves I just wish it wasn’t this way. It’s almost like when you can feel a relationship of any kind drifting away for reasons that you cannot explain.

(My little hehe haha rant 🤭😬 sorry about the bad rushed quality of the pieces)

Poison Ivy and her plant friends (or just plants she has been near or used her powers on) in the 2015 web series, DC Super Hero Girls.

[kenandeliza]

has anyone ever made A shazam/Rise of the Guardians crossover? I am just curious how Jack would interact with a homeless Billy Batson and how surprised he is with shazam being able to see him.

Maybe even have the league be surprised that he knows the actual Jack Frost

Let me know if you find a story/fanart relating to it

[radiance1]

Random Danny Phantom au.

The world ended, nukes launching to every corner of the world.

If the nukes didn't kill them, then the aftermath sure did.

An actual, honest to god supervillain wanted the end of the world, and they did it even when they got taken along too.

Vlad, Danny and Dani survived due to their Halfa biology, with Dani leaving for the ghost zone after everything went down.

Danny is overcome by grief, and anger with no place to direct it.

Same goes for Vlad.

And they already didn't like each other, so just one minor thing set them off on each other.

Due to Danny's victory over Pariah Dark, and Vlad helping him with the suit and pushing Pariah back into the coffin, they each became king of the Ghost Zone.

More like half-king since they both share the position but eH.

Danny got the Crown of Fire, which because of his ice core turned into the Crown of Frost.

Meanwhile Vlad got the Ring of Rage, and became much quicker to anger than he was before.

Surprisingly enough, Danny was the one who landed the first hit.

The opposing nature of their cores, fire and ice, wasn't at all helping the planet when they both went all out, especially with the added power boosts.

They fought on the wasteland planet for a few years, then moved to space. To which something of surprise happened, Danny, with his ice core and the Crown of Frost connected to the moon, meanwhile Vlad, with his Ring of Rage, connected to the motherfucking sun.

Why is this important?

Well, because even though humanity was basically wiped out, the faith left behind on things they worshipped was still around.

So Danny and Vlad both got even more boosts of power from the lingering faiths left behind on the sun and moon. Basically becoming gods.

Not that Danny or Vlad cares, for Danny he just wants the earth back to how it was, and his family by extension. For Vlad, even though he has all of this power now, Madeline isn't here anymore, nor is Vladco and everything else he worked for.

So they just, continue fighting.

The Sun vs the Moon.

They held nothing back, using every inch of power in their cores and the power gained from lingering faith of the sun and moon and caused devastation if they were still on earth.

They fought for years and years. Until one day they just, stopped.

Be it because of how much power they used up, or they just felt emotionally exhausted, perhaps both. Danny just stayed on the Moon while Vlad just kinda, drifted, around the sun.

During this time, Clockwork saw this as the best time to yoink them over to the ghost zone, and properly appoint them as Kings of the Infinite Realms.

Of course they had to have the clothes to match, and with them having a connection to the sun and moon certain ghosts had a motif to go off of.

Danny was gifted a white robe that glowed a soft light, with the edges seeming to turn into frosty mist and the area around him is extremely cold.

Vlad was gifted a golden robe that glowed intensely, the entire thing seemed to be made of fire and the area around him extremely hot.

Opposites and stuff I guess.

No other ghost really wanted to fight them and take the Ghost King title, it's honestly far more trouble than it was worth and they didn't want the responsibilities.

So Danny and Vlad had to put aside their differences and rule together properly for each and every ghost in the zone.

Safe to say, neither of them were thrilled to be working with the other. (With Danny not thrilled to be working at all.)

Which is pretty in character with them being polar opposites.

During their off time, much to some ghost's chagrin, they typically leave outside of the zone to their respective domains, the moon and sun. Both of them feel a sense of comfort when near them.

Surprisingly after their battle and working together, Vlad feels calmer around Danny because of his overall aura, whereas Danny feels the never ending chill he experiences lighten up whenever he's near Vlad.

So they're on some sort of truce right now.

Everything is going fine, the zone finally stabilized with the extended presence of both its kings, the Ghost Zone now has some sense of law and order, and everything is just better over all than under Pariah Dark's absence and rule.

Until Danny gets summoned to some far off dimension, still in the appearance of a teenager because he never aged (neither did Vlad) and is absolutely stunned to see living, breathing humans.

It's been far, far too long since he's seen humans.

So there he is, still in his king robes (Which basically become his regular clothing), sitting in a magical summoning circle with cultists all around him preaching to him about he's going to enslave the world and how they off themselves up to be his servants.

Stunned beyond compare seeing people, and then out of the blue more people come out and beat up the cultists, with the last one begging for him to help them and then being knocked out.

A stray thought entered his mind, and he doesn't even care about the other people anymore. So he steps out of the circle, ignoring the others surprise, their battle ready stances, and their attempts at talking with him and just exits the building and flying out of the planet's atmosphere.

He then turned to look at the planet, and he started crying.

It was breath taking to see the earth living again, especially when from the moon all he ever saw was the wasteland that was once his.

Some random dude came up out of the atmosphere with him, with a determined expression on his face before that melted away into surprise and concern. Who then just floated there alongside him.

Meanwhile, over in the DP outer space:

Vlad is not at all amused when he felt the sudden void of the moon. So he went to check it out, seeing the moon deity gone from his place. Usually when they go to the Infinite Realms they are still aware of the others presence.

But now Vlad doesn't feel him at all.

So Vlad goes to find Clockwork, who should surely know if his opposite decided to go back in time.

Clockwork says he doesn't know where Danny is, but he does know he was summoned to another dimension. Vlad questions how Clockwork doesn't know where Danny is since he's the literal Master of Time.

Clockwork says that he oversees all the events and timelines in this dimension, the one where Danny was summoned to however? Noooot so much.

So now Vlad feels he has to look for his counterpart and is increasingly angry that he has to do so, but then Clockwork nudged him along to go and find him.

So now Vlad has to look for the wayward moon deity; while said deity is now talking with a bunch of actual people and is not at all hiding his wonder and amazement at seeing and talking to living people again.

(Clockwork when he knows exactly where, how, and why Danny got summoned, but isn't telling Vlad a single thing other than "You have to go find him." and acting as if he couldn't just pop into the timestream and ask the Linear Men if they've seen an immortal teenage moon deity in any timelines.)
