Hey. Shakes you by the shoulders. DCxDP where Eobard Thawne is Danny’s cool distant “uncle” that he never sees but always sends in the coolest gifts for the holidays.

~

Danny had grown used to seeing people injured at a surprisingly young age.

He wasn’t injured on the regular, or witness to some sort of extraordinary amount of violence; his parents’ lab was just… very volatile, and they were unprofessionally lax on safety measures on the best of days.

As such, when he saw an unconscious, incredibly injured man wearing some sort of superhero suit in their backyard in the early hours of the morning (he had gotten up to get a glass of water when he heard a thump outside), he didn’t panic, as any young child should have in his situation.

No. Instead, Danny dragged the man inside (with considerable difficulty; despite how thin he was, he was heavy), treated his wounds as best he could (it’s difficult for a child younger than 10 to do stitches, you understand), put a blanket over the man, and went back to bed.

After losing a fight to the Flash and passing out in a random suburban lawn, the last thing Eobard was expecting to wake up to was a small child sitting on the floor in front of him, noisily eating a bowl of cereal.

(He had thought, maybe he would have been found by the Flash and brought to some Justice League holding cell. Or, found by a civilian, and brought to the police. Perhaps, in his feverish state, he had remembered the prison he ended up in from his time, with their brands and chemicals and torturous therapies.)

For some unknown reason, this child had found him, not recognized him as the monster he is (perhaps due to the boy’s age), and helped him—even if his healing factor would have fixed him eventually, having all his parts in the right order certainly sped up the process.

Usually he wouldn’t care for civilians. He’d killed enough that he’d lost count what felt like an eternity ago—and yet, somehow, he felt indebted to this boy. This boy, who had helped him so selflessly, who was so entirely clueless to the evil right in front of him.

This boy, who was all alone in an empty house, whose sister was away, whose parents had gone on a trip and left him behind.

(It didn’t matter the explanation the boy gave for it, Eobard’s mind whispered to itself regardless. Kin. Like calling to like.)

And so, he worked hard to free himself from this debt he had incurred.

He traveled through time, working his way into the family whilst posing as a distant relative. It was remarkably easy; the Fentons didn’t have an incredible memory of their relatives; all he had to do was forge a few papers and mention a few people and he was now “Uncle Eo”.

It was, however, taxing on the mind. These people were absurdly friendly, not to mention talkative. The effort had become a multi-year operation, popping in every now and then for large family gatherings and home visits.

It felt… nice, to be wanted for once. To be noticed in his absence for more than just his status.

To be liked.

He made sure to send the boy a gift on the right holidays, as well as on his birthdays. With his skillset, it wasn’t too difficult to follow him around and see what he liked and wanted. It also wasn’t difficult to spy in when he opened them, to ensure that he had done an acceptable job.

Of course, he couldn’t let this sort of thing cut into his time spent fighting the Flash, so he wasn’t too present. The last thing he wanted was to drag trouble into the boy’s life from his presence.

But then, it happened.

He found out that this boy, and the one known in his time as Phantom, were one and the same.

It was, as a historian, thrilling.

It was, as a villain, horrifying.

In all his travels, he had never intended to involve himself with that mysterious being which shadowed the Justice League. That ghost with the power, in some timelines, to bring about the end of all things.

Of course, he was also capable of doing that, but it isn’t exactly fun to meet someone who’s powers are a match for your own.

Especially if you couldn’t find it in yourself to end him, should he make himself your enemy.

Still, he had a debt to repay, and a boy to look after.

He delivered things to the boy’s room to help him; tactical gloves, a lightweight protective suit, weapons and equipment. All uncredited, since the boy seemed to value the idea of a secret identity.

He took it upon himself to shift the odds in his favor a few times, even; making faster-than-light adjustments to the boy and his combatants during fights to shift the odds in his favor.

Somewhere along the years, he had formed some sort of odd affection for the boy, if he was capable of doing so at all.

And so, when that ghost-boy sought his Uncle Eo out all the way in Central City, carved open and scarred, a distant look in his eyes, he took him in without a second thought.

He would protect this boy, who once had protected him.

Here's my controversial opinion; if you're trying to write Bruce as a non-abusive, good parent, you should also write him respecting his kids' privacy, boundaries, and not stalking&surveying them.

Jazz makes a deal with Desiree after finding her brother in their parent’s basement. And it’s not a pretty sight.

Her deal: Desiree gets a slightly longer leash (in a matter of speaking) as long as Danny and Jazz are safe. (Or something like that. Point is, she made a deal)

I wish this never happened and that Danny and I were safe somewhere else!

There’s a snap of fingers, a bright flash, then she’s outside in an unfamiliar city with sirens blaring and people wailing as a scarecrow runs by with some sort of gas, chased by someone dressed like Vlad adjacent except all black with a weird looking bat symbol on his chest.

Not normal, but also not the weirdest thing she’s seen.

But there’s no sign of Danny.

Desiree looks at Jazz and smiles bitterly, “I never said you’d be safe together.” And disappears.

Meanwhile, Danny wakes up screaming in an alley until he realizes he is not in pain and somehow has no wounds from their parents. His screams attract the attention of a man walking by, who comes to investigate, Danny decides to go invisible right in front of him which was dumb but he was injured just a couple seconds ago so cut him some slack. It really should have freaked the guy out, but he just has an astonished look on his face before also turning invisible.

Or: Jazz is sent to Gotham and Danny is sent to Coast City. Jazz becomes an unwilling part of scarecrow’s scheme (could be any villain) and is saved by a bat (any bat, although I prefer Red Hood or Robin) and Danny accidentally showed Martian Manhunter his powers.

Could work with Superman too in Metropolis. He could pick up a dumpster and throw it at Clark and Clark would calmly catch it while Danny is babbling/apologizing for getting scared and throwing something that could have killed the man, then slowly everything clicks and he disappears, leaving Clark Kent to investigate.

(Also background: Danny has just been told he will be the future Ghost King in this and Jazz was told by Clockwork that she would have a difficult decision and a difficult future in store but that it will be good for them and for the realms. Jazz doesn’t believe in fortune tellers, especially vague ones and says so to Clockwork’s face which cracks a smile. I’d personally write it as a Hardcover ship, but honestly if anyone wants to yoink this and do something else with it, I’d be okay with that too!)

thinking about soap finding employment as a postie after being medically discharged. it's solid work. respectable. keeps him focused and active. he really takes to it. it doesn't hurt that his route feels like window-shopping.

The hell did they do to that hotel room ....

[deafeningfestivalpaper]

Lyle Headcanons? (I just really love him because he's a big ole baby who's got a major crush on Sam <3)

Got so excited to see fanart of him I accidentally misspelled his name and called him “the lurg” 😔

- If he’s still in his robe, I feel like he’d sleep in a loafing position. Like, tucks his robes ends under himself, his extra limbs too, and just scrunches himself a little until he’s comfortable

- If Sam was able to recruit him, I feel like there’d be an event where you wake up and he’s just. In your room. Confronting him will cause him to sputter and fumble for a moment, before fleeing and hiding somewhere in the apartment (causing him to leave the party and be unrecruitable until the next day, my guys embarrassed)

Choosing to leave it alone will cause his stats to be a bit buffed for the rest of the day, and it’ll cause you to wake up with him in the room a few more times randomly. #watchingyourcrushsleep!!

- makes noise when excited. I feel like normally he’s silent aside from a slight ticking but whenever he gets a kiss from Sam or some shit he starts chirping and whirring

Personal note about the kisses, I fucking love the dialogue in the second one. He just shyly asks for another kiss and if you accept he just goes “SCORE.” While looking feral 😭

- Really good at climbing shit, I feel like pre visitor he was one of those photographers who climbed to absurd heights and places just to get the perfect shot. Only got better post visitor due to all those legs. Has better grip than he did before

- Probably able to produce photo paper on his own, unless he’s got one hell of a stash somewhere. Might be like a spider with silk? His biology reminds me of some sort of spider (shutterbug lmaoo)

- If any of his legs gets ripped off somehow and he’s able to get a couple days of rest/low work, he’ll be able to regrow the limb. Same goes for his lenses

- His stutter isn’t anything new, but it got worse once the visitor arrived due to just going days without talking. No reason to talk if you live alone. Did hum and giggle to himself like a madman though. Like actually sounded and looked insane, alone and quietly giggling as he developed photos in a darkroom of the dude he stalks

- Has the touch of the ‘tism. Yes Im projecting here, no I will not take any criticism for this. He’s autistic.

- Has a habit of tapping a singular foot on the ground when he’s bored or intensely focused on something, incredibly embarrassed whenever someone points it out.

- Flusters easily. Even with Sam’s horrific kissing AND flirting skills, if either were done to him without him having to ask (for the kisses, he’s more prepared for fluster if he’s the one initiating) he’d probably generate enough heat to power the entire apartment for months

I want to see a Curse Kakashi in the jjk x naruto cross over fics instead of Obito. I mean, the Uchihas from what the fandom and the anime/mangs showed up would make it apparent that Obito would be a cursed spirit if given the chance in the jjk world. Which, yeah I get it, but like, I want to see a Curse Kakashi haunting a Sourcer/Human Obito instead of the other way around

I mean, yes Obito has resentment and grief and just all the negative emotions to be a curse spirit and be OP as shit with everything and just haunting Kakashi cus being in another world doesn't mean he can escape his best friend/teammate/love interest/whatever-at-this-point haunting him from the grave. But I would also like to point out that so does Kakashi

I mean, yeah, you can argue that Kakahi has some sort of settlement of his feelings and trauma after the fourth war, but it doesn't mean all his emotions about those memories are gone as well. Sometimes, difficult events in life force you to accept them and move on or push them aside to focus on more important things. I'm not saying everyone does this, but from Kakashi's perspective, his whole life was repeatedly dragging him down. Death of loved ones, failures that changed the course of his life, questions of loyalty, betrayal, guilt, regests, and the constant what-ifs that are sure to haunt him from time to time. He is a shinobi, he wakes up to nightmares of blood and words from dead loved ones, he sees his loved ones come back from the dead, he himself died as well, only to face another war and get appointed a job he never wanted in the first place.

I'm just saying, any point in time in kakashi's life you can pluck him from the naruto verse and place him in jjk to be a curse of some kind.

anyways that my rant of wanting to read a story with Kakashi haunting obito in the jjk crossover fics, if anyone of you find this exact story tell me

Deacon def knows all the companions but as like another person.

That guy Hancock spent a day hanging around with that had the oddest pair of shades? Deacon. The humble merchant Danse asked for directions and sent him on his way? Deacon making sure the BoS wasn’t close to RR HQ. That rando heckler that would weirdly know how to personally throw Cait’s opponents off their game? Deacon.

It’s like he’s not intentionally following them, not all of them at least but he’s stumbled into some and decided to be a little mischievous. This goes doubly when if they already encountered the Soul Survivor and just hadn’t traveled with them yet.

actually i need to find new targets for merili to follow nowadays

Watching a video of some catholic guy trying to happily explain away the church’s homophobia (you can have those feelings just don’t act on them etc etc) and he told a story of a friend he had that lived a “promiscuous gay lifestyle”…who eventually said he wasn’t homoSEXUAL, but homoEMOTIONAL and was actually just seeking friendship with men. His point is that same sex attraction is actually natural because we all want same sex friends.

I do not know how to explain to this man through the screen that there is a huge difference between me wanting to go to a movie with a woman and me wanting to eat her pussy.

[ladyhedoniste]

One thing I've discovered in the course of running my Vampire the Masquerade game is that there are way way way more people that want to play this game than run it. I could lose 60% of my players and still have a full table next week if I made some calls.

[katemagic]

we truly do need to talk more about how fucking insane achi is like okay yes karan is karan but achi literally moved in with the first person he ever dated after TWO (2) dates and was like wow 10/10 best life decision I ever made I'm so glad I did that I love my boyfriend

not to mention that he bought a ring and then presumably carried it around with him???? just waiting so that he could propose after karan did like. he literally bought a ring. after dating him for like a couple of months ????? maybe ????? absolutely fucking unhinged they're perfect for each other. who does this.
