Plotted starter for The Survivor of @beyondthevoidedsuns

It was a small yet promising point on the map of the multiverse observed by one masked golem, alongside their child who sat comfortably on the Bostonius's sofa while they themself checked the map again. One hand rested on the craft's steering wheel while the other zoomed in further to see the two's next possible destination. Technology everywhere, and no sign of human civilization anywhere. Not that it mattered to Des much; so long as these parts existed, the place was deemed worthy of checking out. Who knows, maybe they'd find other creatures there, them and their companion. Speaking of... "I've discovered a nearby world with machinery of high standard. Let's go seek it out, Aurora!" With a shake in the traveling void the Bostonius currently flew through, another tremble had the plane suddenly speed up, reaching intense range in order to make a jump through the cosmos. Both of them held on tight to whatever was closest to them, and three, two, one... and it was as if nothing had happened. Well, minus the inclusion of being in a whole new world. Concealed eyes scanned the ground below as the Bostonius began its decent. The place didn't seem plane-friendly, but this wasn't Des's first rodeo. A few hundred years they've been at this with Aurora, so of course they'd had to make their own place in the world, even if it had lead to... complications in the past. Would this time be the same? It was too soon to be sure, but the lack of evident life eased any worries Des could've had. Like they were worried at all. What could be so bad about a mechanical earth? The Bostonius ended up stopping right above a metal platform, the closest thing to some sort of air carrier parking. Even though Des doubted anything bad would happen to the two of them, the thespian always went out and checked the nearby area first. You could never be too careful with the unknown. Aurora didn't even have to say anything as she watched him readjust his mask and exit the plane's door. There was the smallest of smiles on her face. Clink, clang. Well, this place was awfully dirty and dusty. The human instinct locked within had the vessel scrunch up her nose, as if the sand would blow into her lungs. What lungs? Just instinct. With human senses came the next: sight. It was time to check out the seemingly abandoned landscape. Just what would come about this world? And most importantly, was anyone watching?

[caramelcuniculus]

This was definitely a lot of talking-up the king was doing. Either trying to get on their good sides for a purpose, or general willingness to give them the time of day, was something the thespian had trouble finalizing. Winter seemed more and more persistent repeating his words to make sure the both of them knew him honest. Des still wanted to hold some doubt, but you could really only repeat the same words over and over if they really were lies. Was the king truly as genuine as he seemed, or was there a delusion behind his odd persona? No matter what, Des wasn't going to dismiss the off felling Winter gave them. This Simon Petrikov was off in a way that didn't even compare to one Ice King. The thought of needing a comparison at all made them feel sick.

"Imagination?" Aurora interjected, breaking Des out of her thoughts. Blue eyes blinked, almost in-time with Winter's. She had to wonder which sorcery allowed him to willingly provide whatever she or Des desired. What sort of things could the emissary even ask for? A small huff sounded like it came from her vessel. "Very well. I would like to see this displayed, then. Not now, but when I… come up with something." Her head turned away, as if the lack of an idea embarrassed her.

"Trusting vagueness could be a matter of life and death." The thespian wasn't aware of Winter's true potential, either. He presented having their best interests in mind, but what if something backfired and harmed them? What then? His observations of Ice King's magic demonstrated a power that could easily wipe tens to hundreds out in a matter of minutes. Ice King never did that, from what Des gathered, but if his suspicions were correct, his… Ice King and Winter's crowns were close to identical. How, then, could you say Winter wasn't lost to some insanity?

"Then again, I can feel he's being honest." Distant eyes glared, but at the thespian this time. "I'm starting to think the king of frost wants to have nothing more than fun." The emissary's hand rose to pet multiple areas of one of the reindeer's features. "These creatures do not possess malice. Despite his strong magic, I wish to believe his doe and buck would present any kind of negativity had Winter had ulterior motives. These creatures are as happy as hopeful children."

Aurora pulled away from the snow reindeer as she began slowly walking towards the sleigh. "I pronounce no active threat. You should feel the very same, Des." With that, the emissary got inside the sleigh. Her eyes looked at the king. "Do not betray my trust."

"How can-" Des' eyes winced under the mask. Why was Aurora putting so much faith into someone she hardly knew? Well, suppose she's always been like that, but they still didn't know what Winter really could possess..! One defeated sigh here and a grumble there, and the thespian was hopping into the sleigh. She refused to speak.

"Huh?" The emissary looked dumbfounded at Winter's offer, but then quickly nodded. "Right. Of course." Aurora bent forward slightly with a few giggles emitting from her. "Go, little ones! Show us your home!"

"So you're not trying to get on my good side?" Winter jokes, sarcastically, some of his earlier offense leaking out just a bit before he manages to catch it and shove it back down. Really, it's not offense so much as it is emotional whiplash. Nearly everything these two do and say is confusing to him. One moment, Des is giving him a tour of a lovely garden and explaining the local wildlife to him. The next, they're huffing and scoffing as if they don't like him at all. It's starting to make him worry whether there might be something wrong with him. Of course there isn't--he's perfect--but that classic Petrikov anxiety is not easily defeated when provoked. He needs to do more. Be better. Show them something that will really knock their socks off!

"You will see all of these sights and more!" Winter assures the two, Aurora's faint smile helping to bring some pep back into his step. "In my Winter Kingdom, the only limit is your imagination. We are a welcoming and open-minded people, happy to provide only the best in hospitality to our guests." He reiterates his earlier point, emphasizing both the potential for discovery and the concern for their safety. Des should be able to slow their roll and relax once they accept that their little Aurora is not in any danger, right? The aforementioned girl seems excited about the potential for a sleigh ride, at least as much as one with such a flat affect can seem excited about anything, so that's a good sign...

"Of course we are! It's more than large enough for all three of us, and our reindeer friends are plenty strong." He hops right back into his position at the helm of the metaphorical ship that is his sleigh, ready to direct his deer-friends to carry them home. Aware of his rather large size, he ensures that he doesn't take up too much of the space that should be theirs. He gestures to the empty space beside himself, giving the two an inviting smile.

"Do please step right in! Don't you fret; it will be a smooth and uneventful journey. And a short one! We're quite close to the capital already." Ah, the benefits of living in a half-destroyed world where everything is close together... It's a small and usually cozy place. He just wishes that certain people would be further away from him, and preferably stay that way forever. She had better not appear while he's trying to make these worrywart guests feel at home! "Miss Aurora, would you do the honour of telling our reindeer friends to begin their trek? They will gladly listen to you!"

Totally in love with adventure time lore about deities, monsters, natural cycles, and magical items. The Adventure Time universe is one of the most interesting and complete I've ever seen and the only reason it's so underestimated is because it belongs to a "children's" show. I love how most of the lore of deities and such are similar to popular prototypes of legends and stories of gods and warriors from our reality. For example deity A (GOLB) kills the wife of deity B (magical man) causing him to lose his sanity and become a dictator in his homeland, then this deity (magical man) is kicked out of his land by other deities, creating disasters in the land he arrives in (Ooo). A human trying to save her lover from a curse crosses his path in Ooo and gains his powers making her lose her sanity. Then to escape the cycle of madness that encloses her and her lover this human decides to sacrifice herself by fusing with the deity that started all this disaster (GOLB) avoiding a new attack from said deity. And this is just a minimal part of the adventure time's lore, every magic object, god, monster and every character has its own lore that unite forming a very complete and magic, sad, crazy and fucking amazing universe.

The quest to find all the Dannies(Gotta catch them all)

Batman just got back, carrying the feral pun-making toddler still growling at him as he clenched harder on glove that he had to remove to satisfy the feral child.

Considering Joker's pride will be damaged for a while after he got sended in an ambulance to the emergency ER after the painful beating of his life and out pun- lashing he gained from this toddler.

"Back up, mister I am batman, more like a wannabe who obsessed with bats to become them."

Only to noticed Oracle holding the very same toddler who kept calling her Jazz,(are they twins?) Tim is trying to distract another one who trying to touch buttons on the Batcomputer.(triplet???)

Father, I'm keeping this-" damian came down still in his garden uniform, holding another toddler covered in dirt but he quickly noticed the other three toddler everyone else was holding.

"Possibly a meta ability gone wrong?" Tim chirped a bit as he picked up the toddler who whined about tucker not letting him touch the fancy buttons on his new computer.

"His name is danny, and he seems to be running from some people out to get him, and it wasn't safe to stay put together." Oracle said as she wheeled a bit, carrying the supposed danny mumbled softly before glancing worried at the danny in Batman's arms.

"He could have split himself into mini clones?" Tim suggested after giving the kid his spare 3ds.

"Split himself between personality wise, I believe, considering I'm not the jazz he is looking for, you're not tucker, Cass found four during her patrol, Duke got two following him around and I believe batman found the feral one..." Oracle said as she trail off a bit which wasn't good news.

"Some of the rogues also found a couple dannies.."

Prompt 291

You know what? I’m feelin’ a Prompt with the whole halfa family, all the clones and everything. 

See, Danny? He’s grown up, he’s moved out, started looking at colleges himself after spending a few years travelling and learning about himself without the threat of a ghost attack. 

He’s kept in touch with his friends, both living and dead, and ignores Vlad for the most part now that they’ve reached a truce of sorts, and honestly? He’s just living his life. 

But see, it’s kind of hard to figure out what college to pick, with his admittedly not-great choices. Look, he might have a new-ish ID but he’s still visibly not exactly human (though thankfully doesn’t have to worry about the GIW after a… summer activity that ended with several missing buildings) 

And most people he goes to? Finds him ‘too unsettling’ which excuse him?? How is he unsettling? He’s a twenty-five year old with six kids ranging from one to six! How is that “scary” huh? Ancients, and all this is making him use the cash he’s saved up over time. 

And then- as though all of this isn’t stressful enough and he’s not genuinely worried that he won’t have enough money to feed the kids if he goes to school- a hero nearly trips over Jordan and starts freaking out. He is so fucking done.

Tava revendo de Hora de Aventura e lembrei de um episódio com o estilo todo chibi e fofinho, então quis fazer uns desenhos

- (was rewatching Adventure Time and I remembered an episode with a cute and more chibi style, so I wanted to make some drawings of them in my free time)

I was thinking about Cybertronians freezing in the Arctic due to the ice that forms on them instead of just the cold & not knowing what humidity is again, and what if they weren’t instantly aware of all the abilities of their alt modes?

They’d have a warmup period after scanning them and have to gradually get used to/ discover all the things they can do. There’s little to no water on cybertron, no reason for them to know that ice forms in the cold, no reason for them to have de-icing. And when they come to earth and choose aircraft as their new vehicle modes, they have no idea those aircraft come with built in warmers on the wings.

I thought about how some flying decepticons would deal with it. Let’s go with Starscream first because I love him very much.

(Also because he complains about cold the most out of all the characters. I imagine everyone ices up the same amount, but the cold is an entirely different problem and one that affects him more because he’s all thin and lanky, not very good at retaining heat. It’s worth clarifying that the freezing is what’s dangerous to them. The cold bothers them but isn’t a threat in and of itself, seeing as they can walk around in space just fine. But I ramble on)

- If he had a human friend or partner, he’d be complaining about how cold it is in front of them and they’d be like “Wait, aren’t you a plane?” He’d ask what that has to do with anything and get very annoyed that he didn’t know he came with extra heating.

- He claims he totally knew about that all along and merely forgot about it in the moment. He also claims he totally knows how to turn it on, but…remind him again?

- The realization that he can just… make himself warmer at will is incredible. He’s still gonna complain about the cold though. Probably out of instinct, he complains to fill the silence. (Is it obvious I want him to be safe and warm. I think it’s obvious.)

- Cue a concerned human asking if he’s been flying through clouds and terrible weather and all the way into the stratosphere with ice building on his wings for all this time. How is he still flying? He just replies that he’s built different, and that he’s far superior to human machines yap yap yap blah blah.

- He doesn’t want to admit how great it is, but after the human shows him how to turn it on, he’d be waking around with the de-icing turned on all day, even when he doesn’t need it. I reckon it’d make the area between his wings an excellent nap spot. He could just put a human in there and squeeze them between his wings and it’d feel like being put in one of these bad boys, I dunno what they’re called in English

In any case, peak nap spot.

Up next is Megan:

- Megatron doesn’t actually have an earth based vehicle mode, leading me to believe he wouldn’t have any form of de-icing. My headcanon is that his bigger, bulkier frame would require and generate more heat, but look at him.

He got a lot of nooks and crannies that ice could build up in. Even spikier than Starscream. Much like Starscream he doesn’t have paint which may also have acted like an extra layer of heat insulation. Additionally, his joints on the arms and legs are visible.

(Actually unsure if Starscream is painted and just gray, but Megs definitely isn’t)

- My point is, I’m not an ice expert but Megatron is terrible for both heat insulation and icing prevention. Megatron is a tough bot, he can take a lot of punches, and as prideful as he is I doubt he’d ignore the fact that a snowstorm would be a genuine threat or hinderance to him.

- Not that he’d let anyone notice, of course. He has a reputation to maintain, and he can’t allow anyone to know his weakness. When he’s in private though, I find the image of evil dictator Megs snuggled up in a billion blankets drinking a hot cocoa hilarious. I’ll probably draw it.

- A human pal or partner may not be able to advise him to turn on de-icing that he doesn’t have, but they might be able to offer him another solution. A badass cloak or cape to protect himself from the snow, while also remaining intimidating. Anyone would think it was just for show, unaware that it’s actually to keep him from freezing.

Last but certainly not least, Soundwave!

-Oh, Soundwave totally knew about the de-icing without needing anyone to mention it. Soundwave knows a lot of things. He’d totally read his own altmode’s manual. I don’t think we’ve ever seen Soundwave in the Arctic though.

Trying to find a good gif for my own reference hang on-

- I’d argue that out of these three he’s probably best with the cold. Sure, he’s spiky too, but nowhere near the other two. His “elbows” are awfully small and exposed, but since his wings form the arms there’d be no issue once he turned on the de-icing. In the gif he easily covers his entire body with those huge arms, so he could easily curl up around himself and defrost if be needed to. Now here’s a good writing idea I probably will never use

- Laserbeak probably has its own de-icing, which makes Soundwave extra warm when he requires it. ADDITIONALLY Laserbeak could be deployed in order to warm up a human friend or partner from afar. Tactical warms.

- Not much to say about Soundwave. Maybe I’ll edit and add later.

(also these are future/current day designs)

[emacrow]

When Diana and her twin Jason was born after her, Jason was left to be disposed off in Amazon, only for him to disappear a second later.

Clockwork saw the possibility and took the freshly wet newborn swapping him with The Fenton's stillborn.

For what he saw in the possibility of the future was nearly endless as he did what he had to do.. for the best outcome to come forth..

A pebble here, a rocket ship toy there, an inch of furniture moved then so that incident doesn't happen, a poster paper on that tree. Minor tiny changes to help bring the visual to the present.

All leading to clockwork giving 19 year old sleep deprived danny an small yet important task to deliver a scroll in another dimension leading up to his body regressed in that dimension timeline the moment he slipped in and out the portal.

Diana knew she had a twin brother out there.. and she was going to find him.

What she didn't know that he was literally falling into her arms, when she and Superman went to check on the Glowing lararus pit portal made near metropolis.

Tiny little boy who look completely tired as he went unconscious holding a purple and green scroll in his hands, wearing clothes 3 times his size.
