#late night on the dash

[syoddeye]

because i listen to music every waking moment... down under by men at work is one of my current earworms, specifically: "I met a strange lady, she made me nervous/She took me in and gave me breakfast". it's inspired a half-baked, silly thing. my specialty.

the 141 are forced to leave soap behind after he's shot. they think he's KIA. konni returns, retrieves him, and tortures him. after a while, they start to condition/brainwash him. only. this is soap. even if they succeed and suppress his memories, he knows deep down, he's not where he's supposed to be. something, something, he escapes captivity.

everything outside is unfamiliar. he's in the middle of nowhere. like a dog bolting off a lead, no real direction, just the instinct to run. takes up the first name he sees on a plaque - 'john'. perfect. he can use that until he figures out what the fuck is going on. hitchhikes, makes up a story, gets booted from the car when the driver catches on that not everything is right.

arrives at a small town close to midnight, in the pouring rain. wonderful. he sneaks into a garden shed for cover and to sleep.

the next morning, the friendly owner of the bed and breakfast steps out into the garden. she lets the runner ducks and chickens out to roam, and decides to cut a fresh bouquet for the kitchen. she goes to her garden shed—only to find a man, dead asleep atop a bag of topsoil. and he's got a weird, grown-out haircut and a patchy beard. smells a little, too. but he looks quite rough too, maybe even a bit thin for a man his size.

and well, she follows the rules of hospitality. she runs a b&b, after all.

she quietly shuts the door, forgoes the bouquet, and fixes him a plate of breakfast. (it's not like her two guests, her cat, or herself can eat everything!) she tiptoes back to the shed, plate in hand and blanket draped over an arm. nudges him with her foot. nothing. another nudge. nothing. poor thing must really be out of it.

on the third nudge, though, a hand snaps out and wraps around her ankle. breakfast goes flying onto the dirt floor, and she ends up pinned to the wall by her unexpected guest. his mouth's twisted in a snarl, brows furrowed, but his eyes—wow. that's a pretty shade of blue. she tells him as much, and smiles up at him.

is that a 'no' to eggs and toast? i can fix you somethin' else.

genuine confusion passes over soap's face. who is this woman? why is she smiling? why is she offering him food? why is she being nice? it must be a trap. until he smells the dropped bacon. sees a smattering of crushed raspberries. hears her hum, waiting, until he climbs off of her.

he watches her stand, brush herself off, and calmly collect the plate and gather the ruined food. she tosses it for the chickens to find, and turns back.

there's a blanket if you insist on napping here, though the ducks may become curious. if you want to come inside, the side door's open. let me know if you want something else to eat.

and then she just...walks away, humming, and he's left gawking. first kind face he's seen in who knows how long, and she's pretty. strange, but pretty.

miscellaneous danyal al ghul things

specifically about the danyal al ghul from my post/prompt here and i wanna get my misc. headcanons/thoughts on him (especially in his early stay with the fentons) out here before i make any other danyal al ghul aus

list under the cut because whoops this got longer than i expected. which really i should have expected

the Fentons are unaffiliated with the League, which was perfect for Danny faking his death.

he struggles with empathy. Empathy was not taught nor encouraged while he was with the League, so it's a skill that's been pretty stunted. At 15 he's better at empathizing with people, but he still struggles with it. He's pretty bad at reassuring/comforting people and usually acts as an emotional rubber duck for Sam and Tucker to vent to if need be. He sometimes offers blunt and sometimes mean opinions, especially if its about another person.

Sam and Tucker do not know he's an ex-assassin, they are however, pretty positive that he used to be part of an eco-fascist cult with a focus on martial arts?? They've been helping him tone down some of his more,,, extreme views on humanity ever since they caught wind of his more extreme ideologies.

He and Sam are still avid environmentalists and feed into each other quite a bit. They spend plenty of time at protests and pestering the school into more eco-friendly options.

Dash is not dead on the sole fact that Danny knew he had to lay low in Amity Park and killing someone was not, in fact, 'laying low'.

he did, however, traumatize him when Dash first tried to bully him. Safe to say, Danny is not bullied at school and neither are Sam and Tucker.

Danny didn't make any friends in his first year at Amity Park. He was surly, grumpy, standoffish, more stubborn than Sam, and pretty self-important about himself. Jazz was trying to teach him against these things, but she is a 12 year old unaffiliated with the League. Danny did not respect her nor listen to a word she said. It wasn't until like, year two that he finally started paying to mind what she was saying and slowly started to improve on himself

Sam approached him first, he rebuffed her quite harshly, and then Danny approached her sometime afterward when he overheard her talking about environmental rights. Sam completely ignored him though when he agreed with her, and Danny had to later learn that he needed to apologize for being rude to her when they first met. He did so eventually, and they started to talk more with Tucker and Sam.

Danny's a bit more reserved than he is in canon, although he steadily learns how to act as a regular teenager when he's out in public. He's a bit more friendlier at least, although when he's around Sam and Tucker he drops the act. He still has a somewhat formal way of talking, it's just become more casual after a lot of ribbing from Sam and Tucker. When he's angry or annoyed he starts talking poshly though.

His humor is relatively the same as in canon, if somehow dryer and more insulting at some points

Those rare moments where he gets really pissed usually ends up with him insulting someone in arabic or any of the other languages he picked up from the league. He is the go-to for Tucker's Spanish homework. (Tucker makes that mistake and learns that Danny is a very strict teacher)

while Danny doesn't view the Fentons as his parents, even five years after living with them, he does respect them to some amount. He respects them enough at least that when Vlad Masters comes sniffing around, he is suitably offended on both Maddie and Jack's behalf. And when he finds out Vlad was the one who tried to kill Jack and tried to tell him to renounce him as his father/parental guardian, danny threw a suitably sharp object at him and insulted him quite horrendously

Vlad still wants him as his kid. In fact perhaps even moreso after this.

Danny trains with Maddie to keep up with his training. It's not quite the same but it prevents him from getting completely rusty

Sam and Tucker know that Danny has a little brother, but nothing else beyond that other than Danny cares about him quite a lot and that he got his facial scar from keeping him safe.

Danny cares about Sam, Tucker, and Jazz quite a bit, but he struggles to convey it. Especially early on when he realized he cared about them and like instinct started being harsher to them and more critical of their actions. This resulted in quite a few arguments with Sam and Tucker and Jazz until he got sat down and told outright that the way he was treating them wasn't okay. It's a process he's still trying to unlearn even at 15. He has become kinder towards them as a result, and has begun looking for what they did right rather than what they did wrong.

He harbors a lot of guilt over how he treated Damian in the League, and its a pretty big conflict he has with himself since he's torn between telling himself it was for the best to make sure Damian survived the League, and feeling like crap over how harsh/critical of Damian he was and realizing that he probably could have come up with a better way of training him despite being a child himself at the time. Danny comes to the realization that more than anything, that he just wants to apologize.

His ghost form, specifically is outfit, is a combination of his hazmat suit and his uniform from the league, and he carries a sword with him. He also doesn't know how to react to Dani, honestly. Although it is fair to say that he figures out she's a clone instantly because of her whole 'I'm your third cousin once removed' thing and he freaks out. She spills the beans pretty quickly after that. And Danny is pretty skittish around her - or the equivalent of skittish. Her being younger than him kinda reminds him of Damian, so he's uncomfortable by her presence but learns to warm up to her.

today (aug 19th) is my personal headcanon birthday for this loser 🧡 that makes him a leo, which feels correct to me personally.. i adore him so much and would've loved to do something more involved for his special day but i've been so busy and drained 😭 he is SO dear to me and has been my biggest artistic motivation for a couple years now, so i will spend the day thinking about him 🥰

aki I'm so happy that you agree with home wrecker suguru!!!!! >u<

my hc is that he doesn't actually want you, he wants to steal you away from a (hopefully) loving partner then break your heart and move onto the next one ajfjfhshsks

(og home wrecker! suguru post here uwu)

+ cw. infidelity (reader is married) + yandere + toxic + MDNI

OH YEAH DEFINITELY!!! Home wrecker! Suguru wants to drive you over the edge, knowing just how gutted you are coming home to your loving, doting partner- acting as if you haven’t been sneaking around with Suguru. Your partner has been busy making dinner for you, thinking you’ve been working yourself to the brink of exhaustion at work. When really, you’re parked in some dark and secluded area, front seat adjusted all the way through, bouncing on Suguru’s cock for hours in the car your partner bought you.

You kiss your partner anyway as you’re greeted at the front door. It leaves a bitter aftertaste in your mouth that is fully acquainted with Suguru’s lips, cock, even his name- one that causes you to sin with every secret roll of his name on your tongue.

Home wrecker! Suguru is so taken with you because you never seem to get desensitized to whatever it is you do behind your partner’s back. Always with a tinge of guilt in your eyes, afraid of getting caught, afraid of breaking your partner’s heart. But Suguru knows it excites you. He knows how addicted you are to the feeling of his cock stretching you out, addicted to being treated like the actual filth that you are when all your partner has ever done is treat you with respect.

And so when shit hits the fan, and your partner leaves you to rot with your little affair, all Suguru needs is to see your expression absolutely wrecked, while you hold on to the consolation that at least you still have Suguru. But you’re dead wrong.

“We had a good run. I wish you all the best!” he bids you, big smile on his face as you wail, begging for him to stay, but all he does is kiss you goodbye.

So many "Alpha" males out there thinking they have to embody the Joker to get a girl when Aragorn has literally been standing there the whole fucking time!

[deeply-unserious-fellow]

If I had a nickel for every character in a show based off of an initial concept by Bitch Fartman who insulted the main character by purposefully calling them random words that sound kind of similar to their (last)name, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but I'm like half convinced the writers of ANW are making an intentional reference here-(because I'm insane and like drawing random connections where there aren't any)

Anyways my favorite dumb nicknames from both shows are Fentertainment Tonight and Hammer Time what are yours?:)
