I can absoutely see Mickey going in for all the free samples, ignorning the ehalthy samples and going straight for the meat and cheeses. He does like the sample of beer he got to try, but he won't buy it. It's just too expensive for that hipster shit when he can get an old style for cheaper. Only Ian knows this, but Mickey has a soft spot for the flower arrangements. Sometimes, he'll wander off and get Ian some of the flowers, if he's feeling like it. (Sometimes the flowers are too damn ugly and he can't help it. Or he hates the lady who asks if its for his wife)
Samples Aside, Mickey likes to secretly compliment the pitbulls he sees at the market. Ian catches him complimenting them out the corner of his eye.
Ian loves all the veggies. He loves talking about gardening tips, and about things he can do like bird feeders and beehives, and everything to make healthy organic food. He embraces the gardening lifestyle and even gets one of those hats, which makes Mickey laugh. He also likes the soaps and bathbombs, and all the kitchsy homemade stuff. Ian finds a blanket that is like the one on the Gallagher couch and buys it immediately.
Eventually, Mickey starts to really appreciate the craft work of some of the artists who do shit like wood burning, or metal stuff. But doesn't care for that "grandma knitted crap."
Calli it's comet! On the topic of farmers markets, HC for our fav boys at the farmers market?
Hi Comet! 💖
I’ve been terrible at answering asks lately (sorry for anyone who sent one that I haven’t answered) but this one speaks to me.
Mickey loves: anything with free samples. Anything. It’s free? He’s stepping up and taking at least two or three of the samples and fixing the stall owner with a look if they say anything. If there’s cheese or meats, he’s dragging Ian through the crowds so they can get the first samples. He also likes the flower stalls. Especially looking at all the arrangements and comparing them to their wedding. Did you know? It’s not as good as what they had. He’s also a fan of the local beer stall even though it’s SO EXPENSIVE as he complains loudly. Somehow he manages to wrangle free bottles. Ian thinks the owner has a thing for Mickey.
Ian loves: fresh fruit and vegetables. He’s asking them for tips and suggestions. He’s offering Mickey samples enthusiastically and Mickey does not want fresh veggies and fruit but he lets Ian feed him even though it’s very gross (“why can’t they fry this shit in cheese or something?!”) He also loves the handmade things - like decorative stuff? candles, cooking aprons, pillow cases. He likes looking at this stuff they’re probably not going to buy but it’s nice. Nice bath stuff - maybe there’s a stall with special soap and he’s just gotta try it because it smells so good. And obviously, I love @iandarling’s idea that he loves olive oil.
What does everyone else think? 👀
#comet rambles#my mom and i frequent art shows and craft shows and she's always frustrated when half the tables are either those avon sales people#or the random knitted stuff#not that some aren't talented but#dont need 5 stalls of the same stuff

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc
#damian wayne#damian al ghul#damian al ghul wayne#batman#batfamily#for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them#btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done#has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world.#it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something#like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more#three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale#so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point.#I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series.#I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get#hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at.#I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas#where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing#for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good#it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series.#and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well.#instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character#I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay#tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money.#I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip.#it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT#of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well.#and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave#and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him.#I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim#is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

I know none of you care about baseball but it is absolutely insane how good at the game Shohei Ohtani is. He just became the first player ever to hit 50 home runs and steal 50 bases in a season in which he is recovering from Tommy John surgery. What an absolutely electrifying time to be a Dodgers fan.
#No one in the game like him right now#And unlike some southern california teams that like to pretend to be from LA#The dodgers aren't fucking wasting his talent

A female artist/celebrity: Hey, while I'm really happy for all the support you guys as my fans have shown me, can we please establish some boundaries? Some things are starting to make me uncomfortable. Again, I'm grateful but--
Said people the response was aimed towards: Oh so now she thinks she's too good for us? She's so ungrateful, letting all the fame get to her head. Doesn't she know that without us, she wouldn't be as famous? She should just suck it up!
#tell me im wrong bc you can't#this is how some are acting towards chappell roane right now and all she asked for was boundaries to be established#there's this common theme still where people will treat celebs as less than human just bc they're famous & that's so wrong#they share their talent with u as fans and can't even get any decency in response#it's also alarming how quick people are to victim blame these celebs especially female celebs/artist as if they asked to be harassed#there's always a threat of harm to women (especially if they are a woc or queer) already and getting upset with them for wanting to take#caution seems like a bad hill to die on#its also annoying when sadly something does happens and the response following is “how could this happen? we need more boundaries!” and will#then turn right back to their old ways 🙄#lowkey reminds of how there was a wave of hate towards actors (eg. penn badgerly) for saying they didn't feel comfortable doing sex scenes#(which they are within their right to set up boundaries) and yet some fans made it seem like they were in the wrong for wanting autonomy#even tho countless other celebs before that talked about how uncomfortable and evasive the treatment on sets were for them#so their concerns aren't without merit#is it really that hard to establish parasocial relationships with famous people?#chappell roan#megan thee stallion#beyonce#taylor swift

here’s some dpxdc fics
since ao3 is down and I thought I’d offer some of the fics I have saved. There’s a long list under the readmore, just ask me what you want and I’ll send it your way. The Jason centric fics have an astrix as requested
Shadow of a Bat - PaperPuffin
Captured by the GIW, Phantom was a mere shadow of the thing (no, person, he had to remember he was a person) that he used to be. He thought he would never be freed from the bright, white lab. Then what seemed like a mass of living shadow swept into the lab and Phantom suddenly, for the first time in a very long time, felt safe.
When Batman swept back out of the seemingly empty lab, he was none the wiser about the eldritch Phantom stowed away in his shadow. At least not until things started seem just slightly off.
*Wait, I'm a what? - Atiya_Blackcharm
Danny would like to say for the record that it was not his fault.
In fact, Danny would say that it was entirely Clockwork's fault. After all, he wouldn't even be in this situation if it wasn't for that cryptic time god.
But what was his fault was the fact that he kept helping.
He kept taking the cash from the assholes (and damn there were a lot of assholes near where he lived) messing with the residents who lived in the area. He kept accepting their offers of food. So because of this new routine that kept him able to afford to rent out his shitty (and possibly illegal) apartment and the hunger pangs sufficiently satisfied, rumors grew.
tldr; after Clockwork dropped of Danny in Gotham he tries to make the best out of the situation which includes helping out some people. Except along the way that led to rumors that he was an up-and-coming crime boss. A rumor he was largely unaware of.
Life's a Painting (and your'e the artist) - Shiningheart_of_ThunderClan
Title is from the song Sanctuary by Paradise Fears.
An encounter with a new student at Gotham Academy has Damien questioning himself in ways he never had before. He seeks advice from one of his brothers.
Ancient Deals - Bewitched_Forest
A long time ago, Ra's Al Ghul made a deal with the dead. In exchange for the secret to the Lazarus Pits, he was to offer up his heir to the Ghost King for an arranged marriage. But, when rebellion leads to Pariah Dark to be captured, the deal goes on unfulfilled. Now, with a new Prince crowned, to become the Ghost King when he is of age, Danny Phantom is left having to accept Ra's half of the bargain. In the form of his grandson, Damian Al Ghul-Wayne.
Probability - halfagone(milkywxy)
Tim might be crushing on his friend, Danny. He wished that was his biggest problem right now.
Amity Park Analog - Shunters
Contains all written works relating to the Amity Park Horrors universe, in which the wider world believes Amity Park to be a fictional town created as the setting for a horror webseries/ARG
Like and Survive: Phantom's Guide to Young Hero Survival - robinasnyder
When the world becomes aware of teenaged superheroes there is an immediate and fierce wave of backlash and controversy. That's where Phantom comes in.
Phantom saved the world from a meteor fifteen years back; an impressive feat back in the day but now that meteors threatening all life on earth is such a common event that hardly anyone thinks about it. Phantom is considered an old timer who deals with a small city and nowhere else. When he begins uploading videos with advice for young heroes, he hopes a few new heroes might avoid some of the pain he went through. He's shocked at just how popular his advice suddenly becomes.
Ectoplasmic Crystals - myheadinthecoudsnotcomingdown
On the run from his parents, Danny has to find a way to block his ectosignature so he can stay hidden. The device he creates sure comes in handy when he's applying to an internship at Wayne Enterprises!
Basically, Kryptonite has an ectosignature and Danny figures out how to block it.
This is based off of the idea that Ectoplasm is the essence of death and a bit is released when a person died. When Krypton was destroyed, there was enough ectoplasm released that it soaked into the debris of the planet. Kryptonians are so affected because those rocks physically and supernaturally remind them of the death of their people and the possibility of their own deaths.
Everyone Dies But There's Still a Happy Ending - Allain_Kelyarus
One second Danny is trying his best to adjust to his new normal of being the Ghost King and the next everyone he’s ever loved is dead. Danny is struggling to mourn and while Frostbite and the others may have been able to help Danny’s body and core heal, they can do nothing for the human heart and mind that’s in shambles. The solution to that comes from Vlad of all people.
The Firstborn Son - Faeriekit
Danny Phantom, a somewhat established ruler of the Ghost Zone, has unwittingly acquired a baby.
And. Well. He can't exactly keep it in Pariah's Keep. He's no parent, not to mention the huge problem of how the air and sky destabilize human cellular structure. It would be convenient to have the baby's other parent take care of it... assuming that the man is entirely innocent of the plan to sell their offspring for immortality. There has to be a way to prove that the man is safer than the home the baby comes from.
...But the man has his own ward.
Hm. Danny can exploit this. What's an assessment without a little test?
Get That Out Of Your Mouth (You don’t know where it’s been!) - HollowedVoid
note: Please do not attempt to eat the kryptonite
Who let a 12 year old fight? - Silver_star_06
The Justice league believes that Phantom is Captain Marvel‘s dad and tells the hero to summon him to help them with Darkseid.
They weren’t expecting the cryptic eldridge being to start hanging around the watch tower.
Danny couldn’t help but feel a kinship with the pre-teen that ended up as the current Captain Marvel. A scrappy black haired and blue eyed child vigilante, that only became one because of circumstance.
Danny was going to help this child whether he wanted it or not.
*A ghost and a vigilante walk into a bar...well actually it's an alley - Sereneabyss
The one in which Danny gets de-aged by Clockwork for some riddle-filled reason he hasn't bothered to decode the meaning of and finds himself on the streets of Gotham as an eleven year old facing an annoyed and Pit Rage filled Jason Todd, alone, homeless adjacent, and oh shit, he has dark hair and blue eyes.
It's not Jason's fault he decided to one up Bruce and become the father he never got!
And it's not Danny's fault his ghost core took one look at this sorta maybe halfa that hasn't formed properly and decided he needed protection!
Aka: That one fic where both Jason and Danny adopt each other and only chaos can ensue from there.
Danny's Guide to Not Dying Alone on the Street - Maxamillian05
After his parents chase him out of the city, Danny finds his way to Gotham to stay out of the eye of the GIW or any other ghost hunters who might be interested in him. After he accidentally shows his powers in a very public setting, can he avoid the ghosts of his past and the ever-increasing number of Gotham Vigilantes interested in him?
*Coffee Creamer from Hell - AshesGleamandGlow & DuskyAshe (AshesGleamandGlow)
Danny gets caught drinking questionable coffee
Amity in the Ghost Zone - GhostBoyBrainRot
What if Amity Park got stuck in the ghost zone after it was teleported? The city doesn't return on its own after Pariah Dark is defeated. Without knowing how to get the whole city back to the living world, Danny tries to evacuate the residents but most Amity Parkers don't really want to leave. Some people do, but many decide to stay. After all, Amity Park is their home, and the idea of having to start over somewhere new isn't very appealing. So the town, for the most part, continues on like normal. In the words of the great philosopher Dr. Ian Malcom "Life, uh, finds a way."
Holding Me Now in Hand - DisillusionedDeku
After Tim Drake tells his family about his new insane chemistry teacher, Dick Grayson decides to do some investigation himself.
What he wasn't expecting was to instantly fall in love with the chaotic science teacher.
Danny had managed to make a new life for himself in this new dimension as a science teacher at Gotham Academy. He had a fulfilling life, teaching the kids of Gotham how to survive on the streets and then at night protecting the bats who roamed the streets. Now, to make things even better, he had somehow caught the attention of Dick Grayson. If Danny had to be honest, his life was going pretty great for him.
Now he just needed the other shoe to drop.
*Wanted Man - Binaberries
Batman calls for all hands on deck, a new meta has been spotted in Gotham. Jason sits back and tries to hold back his laughter.
*Gothams Ghost - moomoo42
Clockwork had found him sitting in the centre of a destroyed chunk of forest, numb after he had raged and offered to take him somewhere new. He had agreed, having nothing else to keep him there and not wanting Vlad to find him. Clockwork had deaged his body to match his ‘ghost age’ explaining that ghosts age slower and aren’t a true adult until they’re one hundred years old, which made him look around three. Then, he sent him into another dimension and gave him a city to protect, Gotham.
or
Danny becomes Gothams ghost and becomes attached to his knights, the bats, especially Jason as Robin, then as Red Hood.
*how do you want me - suomifae
Jason kept going back. Again and again. Because there was nothing else like being wrapped up in his arms. Being held together like at any other moment he would fly apart. And it hurt, like a burn, when he was held just oh so gently. Like he wasn’t covered in blood, like he could be anything other than a monster.
Synthetic Hope - AshesGleamandGlow & DuskyAshe (AshesGleamandGlow)
After a reveal gone wrong, Danny found himself in Gotham, dangerously low on ectoplasm. With no accessible natural sources, he's forced to turn to an unlikely source. Whoever said anti-heroics doesn't pay?
*Phantom's Red Knight - Krismiss_cos
Danny blinks as the man kneels in front of him and gingerly undoes the cuffs that had been digging into his wrists for hours now. Shocked at the gentleness the man had shown not seconds after throwing the world’s greatest detective into a wall, Danny can’t help the feelings of SafeProtectedFriend that bubble up from his core. The anger that had been coming off of the liminal in waves turns into subtle confusion as he sits back on his heels to stare at Danny through the eyes of his blazing red helmet.
Danny is interrupted by a hand appearing on the liminal’s shoulder. He feels every part of his being roil at someone touching something that’s his. His core screams at him as he darts between the man and the owner of the hand. He feels his body change as he faces Superman, legs joining into a tail as his body fades into an inky void. Hands stretch into claws, mouth splitting into a pointed gash, and eyes turning into swirling, glowing pits. Tail gently coiling around his rescuer, keeping him protected and behind Danny
Superman backs away in sweet fear as Danny’s -no, Phantom’s- voice fills with cracking ice and harsh static and he says,
“Don’t touch my knight.”
Off With [the Demon's] Head - halfagone (milkywxy)
As it turns out, Damian is not Talia's firstborn. Not her first child, not her first son. This would not be so horrible if Talia's actual firstborn hadn't been stolen from her as a babe. But he's alive. And he's not alone.
As it turns out, Talia is a grandmother. She takes this news surprisingly well. If only Damian did the same.
*A Piece To Make Me Whole - Emerald_Ashes
Jason Todd has a lot of baggage. It’s something he’s been trying to deal with and manage for a few years now. Yet what’s he supposed to do when a complete stranger of a kid crosses his path in a split-second encounter, and seems to inexplicably give him the answers he was never able to find on his own?
Kidnapping is the first thought that comes to mind. Dick says otherwise.
*Wayward spirits are better together - noisilyscreechingsong
Jason Todd wasn't expecting to find a small child in his apartment, but his protective instincts are brought forth quickly at finding out just how much this little boy has been hurt. Just how much is going on and why does it feel like he's only scratching the surface? All he knows is he would do anything to keep this kid safe, even take on an obscure agency. Hey, it's not like he hasn't done it before.
Family Bonding and other Perilous Pursuits - Shynnohwen
It started with Casper High failing to fail, resulting in winning the Thomas & Martha Wayne contest despite their best efforts not to, causing them to spend the summer as interns in Gotham.
According to Danny, the miserable expirence ended after he spent the whole summer getting kidnapped because the average Gothomite was blind and couldn't tell apart a sixteen from a thirteen year old which went to it's logical extreme of him putting the Joker on life support after the clown stabbed Damian Wayne and his whole class nearly getting adopted by the Red Hood after they somehow took out the Russian mafia.
According to the birth certificate Bruce found, this was still very much the beginning and why oh why did he always get surprise relationships?! And no he was not panicking, shut up dear children.
The only one not freaking out is Damian who is eager to finally have a blood family member(s?) he doesn't have to worry about trying to kill him or usurp his place as the blood son.
*Here's To Us - jellyfishnervoussystem
“Although you get used to it. It being Gotham and all. You’re not from around here, are you?”
“Ah no, you caught me” Danny said, putting his hands up in mock surrender. “What gave it away?”
“The accent mostly. You don’t sound Gotham. You don’t even sound like you're from Jersey.”
Or Alternatively, two neighbors have a late night conversation on a roof and it leads to something more.
Gamble your life away - Half_DeadSerious
Danny just wants a moment of peace. Really, he started this Casino awhile back to let his Rogues Gallery waste time and energy gambling instead of property damage.
It’s not his fault the Casino became a bit of a safe place!
(Honestly speaking, Danny prefers it over his/Pariah’s old keep. That place is creepy.)
So… Why are there there grown cosplayers demanding him to get his boss? He is the boss. He practically lives here anymore.
What a bunch of Karens.
*Our Empty Graves - suomifae
They say that Red Hood has a loyal mutt. The man rules his territory in Crime Alley with an iron fist and a guard dog at his side. They say that Hood calls him Fetch, sometimes Fetcher. No one's ever heard him speak. Anyone who's ever seen him says he looks like an experiment gone wrong, that Hood picked him up somewhere unspeakable. They say he'll do anything Red Hood asks of him and he'll do it well. That he's strong and fast and probably inhuman. The girls say he's sweet, quiet but charming in his own way. Rival gangs say he's vicious, that he'd sooner rip your throat out than let you go. Jason just wants to help him.
Robin's Egg - Calix
While out on nightly patrol, Robin finds a very injured Danny Phantom who is about to be forced back into his core. Now that the ghost boy is entirely defenseless, how is Damien going to protect the core from others? And even harder... how is going to keep Phantom's existence unknown to his family?
Resurrected? - Playedcrowd5610
The team is on a routine mission when Phantom gets blasted by one of the goons wielding experimental tech. Unable to keep his ghost form intact he transforms back into his human form. Causing the rest of his teammates to think the beam had somehow brought him back to life!
The team starts to try to protect Danny and make sure he doesn't die again, always checking around every corner for a possible threat. How long will he last?
A King in Ghostling’s Clothing - TorScrawls
A frighteningly strong ghost appears in Justice League's midst and they find themselves powerless to fight back. Just when they think all hope is lost, something even worse shows up.
(Danny might have forgotten to tell them that he is the Ghost King and that the job comes with certain eldritch "perks")
Justice League - Seasilver
Shenanigans occur when the justice league meet King Phantom
Danny Phantom & the DCU - Ocearna
A collection of Danny Phantom and DC universe crossover one shots. Set in the same universe, but I intend to write them so they can be read standalone if you like.
that time it was deadman's fault - Ocearna
"Oh, nope. No, nope, no way," Deadman protests, floating up into a corner with his hands up and a stressed look on his face. "I am not going anywhere near those idiots."
John can feel his eyebrow rising at the ghost's reaction.
"Why not?" Batman asked.
"Because that," Deadman explains with a dramatic gesture, "is Infinite Realms business."
Danny What The Fuck?? - FanFiction_Artist_Prototype
Phantom is almost comically overpowered compared to the Justice League on account of not only being a boy king of an alternate dimension, but also because he fought creatures from said alternate dimension and whilst Constantine did that too -on a rather unfortunately regular basis- he didn't fight Darkside level threats on his own at fourteen years of age.
Hence how overpowered Phantom was.
But he was also still a boy, which might be how Constantine found himself looking down the barrel of a gun.
The Grayson kids - NerdofSpades
Danny and Dick are twin brothers. Things happen. It's fine. The Team certainly likes him well enough.
The Ghost King's To-Do List - violetmoreviolent
When Danny thought of royalty he used to think of resplendence and indulgence and the delegation of tasks.
Well, that turned out to be a load of crap. Danny now had a laundry list of problems he had to take care of, starting with the leaks of ectoplasm that were draining from the Ghost Zone into the Mortal Realm and that was much too dangerous to be lying around where any old human could be exposed to the soul corrupting biohazard.
(And maybe after he'd hit up that Constantine guy he's gotten complaints from no less than ten of his subjects and had a whole list of other transgressions and alarming notes of interest on. Someone like that couldn't be left to just run around unmonitored not even mentioning that active custody case for his soul that was being duked out in ghost court. Danny's ghost court.)
*Danny Fenton: Dead and Loving It - HyperKid
Danny and Jason meet by chance in a graveyard on Christmas Eve over a certain someone’s grave. Neither expect to ever see the other again, until they run into each other at a coffee shop less than a week later.
And now that they’re both thinking clearly, there’s obviously something wrong.
Concession to Realism - wildimaginingsofhalfbakedideas
Clockwork was not usually the type to meddle. He preferred to watch from afar, monitoring and observing. Unless, of course, something forced his hand. The new Ghost King was a child, one in a very precarious position. It would be far to easy for him to be pushed too far and end up as a danger to the universe. The ghost of time had no choice but to step in.
aka Clockwork sends Danny to a universe where he'll be safe until he can take up the mantle of Ghost King, a dimension far away from the Fentons and other ghost hunters. Danny is less than thrilled, especially when he starts developing a soft spot for some local bats.
*Anima, Animus - ectoentity (IgnotusSomnium)
There is a darkness growing in Gotham. One that is far different from the comfortable shadows and familiar fiends that the Bat-family is used to. It is preying on their people and making life even more dangerous than usual. They need an expert to find out what is happening to their city.
Halfway across the country, ghostly hero Danny Fenton is having dreams that belong to someone else: his long-lost brother Jason Todd.
*Unearthed, Reborn - QueenOfTheQuill
24-year-old Danny isn't sure what, exactly, is going on when he stumbles on newly-formed halfa Jay in the Ghost Zone. Unfortunately, Jay can't really remember enough to give him any hints. Oh well, who needs to know their past anyway? This is Gotham; no one cares about your past here.
Besides, Jay just got adopted by the weirdest trio of people he's ever met, so he's got more important things to focus on.
*The Ghost King (of Miscommunication) - ObsidianSnake
100 years after his half-death in the portal, Ghost King Danny Phantom is in Gotham checking up on a rumor when he senses a baby halfa struggling to form a core.
He practically football tackles his new son all the way to the Far Frozen.
While Frostbite is managing his health, Danny explains why he brought him here, that he's been ghost adopted, and that he can just let Danny know if he'd prefer to be left alone after he's all healed up (he isn't going to force him to be family if that's not what he wants. Danny isn't Vlad.)
Unfortunately for Danny, human hearing is far more limited than halfa hearing, and Jason's core was not yet mature enough to improve his.
Not enough for him to hear Danny's very important explanation from inside the healing tube, at least.
Jason, feeling very kidnapped, decides to remain mostly quiet and cooperative in order to gain information.
Danny takes this as a sign that Jason is scared about his close call with a health issue and open to being adopted, but too shy to talk about it just yet.
*Don't Leave Me in the Dark - Astra_Nova_Kat
What's Jason supposed to do when he comes home one night to find a crying child with only one arm, and Lazarus Pit green eyes, wiping their own blood up from his apartment floor?
The answer is probably not, "Adopt them.", but, hey, he's never had the best plans and the kid looks like he weighs five pounds soaking wet.
(Danny can't remember how old he is - he remembers being sixteen, but he remembers being six even clearer - just that the last thing in his head is someone rooting around his intestines and telling him he's a fascinating specimen.)
The King's Coffin - RaaorQtpbpdy
When a massive Lazarus Pit is discovered in the arctic, the Justice League races to get there before the League of Assassins. Inside it, they find a peculiar coffin which radiates magical energy.
If You Give a Bat a Burger - Cielle_Noire
Strange things are going on in Gotham: A series of crimes linked only by a sentence uttered. A drug that no one seems to be selling, but lots of people are taking. An old enemy reborn, or someone pretending to be him. Graffiti that can't be photographed by normal means. Bartenders disappearing without a trace. John Constantine is also there.
Danny wants nothing to do with any of it. He just wants to sell burgers and survive. Actually, he'd like to go home again, but since that isn't possible, he'll stick with burgers.
Gotham's vigilante's have other plans.
This is why Danny doesn't do favors.
How to Adopt, The Bruce Wayne Way by Alfred Pennyworth - LokisGhost
Step One, Find a child. Step Two...
How (Not) to Get Adopted by Bruce Wayne: An Incomplete Guide - Evandarya
Danny Fenton has been in foster care for a little over a year, bumped around from family to family, city to city, until he find himself in Gotham.
Which is fine. He doesn't need a family.
But can he convince Bruce Wayne of that?
*Gotham's Youngest Ghost - mimsyborogrove
Somewhere in Gotham, a small child finds themself alone and lost on the streets of Crime Alley. Nearby, a liminally-challenged vigilante has no idea his life is about to be turned upside down. Again.
This is all Clockwork's fault, Danny is sure of it.
close enough to be whole again - hailsatanacab
“If you ever find yourself in danger, go to Bruce Wayne. He will help you.”
His mother had loved him, in her own way. If she hadn’t, she wouldn’t have helped him escape. If she hadn’t, she would have dragged him back to the League of Assassins, to Grandfather. If she hadn’t, he’d be dead.
She loved him, but she loved the League more.
Jack and Maddie Fenton loved him too, they did, but they loved their work more.
They loved their work more.
--
After his parents react poorly to his reveal, Danny escapes to the only person he thinks can help him - Bruce Wayne. He doesn't know what to expect when he gets there, but it has to be better than where he is, surely? He certainly doesn't expect to be reunited with his long lost twin brother Damian. It's funny how things work out that way.
Who's Old Now? - LiraBuswavi
“Am I your dad!!?” Billy shouted. Danny paused. Took a deep breath in and out before turning to him.
“I’m gonna need you to back up, and explain. Please.”
Or, what happens when a twelve year old masquerading as an adult superhero calls his guardian, an adult who can also turn into a child superhero, on speaker phone, in front of the Justice League.
Bus to Nowhere - foldingfacets
Is it running from your problems if your problems consider you to be a dead imprint of consciousness that killed their son? Yes, but Danny tries not to think about how his nightmares of his parents trying to kill him came true when they found out he was Phantom.
After being on the run from his parents and the government for a couple of months, moving from town to town, Danny ends up in Gotham City and decides to risk staying in Batman's territory. He'd take the wrath of Batman over live vivisection via beloved parents or being studied and torn apart by the government. Besides, he's not a meta. Being dead is a medical condition.
*Adopted By A Ghostling - Omnicrex
Jason Todd takes after Bruce Wayne in an unexpected way by having a small child decide he's their dad now. Of course, it starts out rocky and nerve wrecking because this 6-year-old is a brat, but he can't just ditch a Tiny Meta Child with a possible connection to Lazarus Pits alone to wander the streets of Gotham. Even if the kid wouldn't just follow him back home.
*what was lost, found again - halfagone (milkywxy)
Being half-dead had its perks, apparently. Like finding and saving a teenager trying to dig his way out of his own grave. Yeah. This is Danny's life now. He'll still take it over trying not to get skinned alive by Skulker, though.
A Ghost in Gotham - SassyAngel
Danny hated Vlad with a passion but he also held some sort of respect from him. Their relationship was impossibly complicated, bordering between being mortal enemies and best of allies. There have been times where Vlad was the only person in the entire world that he could relate to, both being half-dead science experiments gone wrong and all that. There have also been times where Danny wanted nothing more than to pummel Vlad’s face in and curse him to high hell.
So when Vlad came to him for a favor, Danny squinted his eyes with high distrust. He had to be civil, since he was Fenton at the moment and his parents were around, but he sure as hell wouldn’t be dropping his guard anytime soon. “Let me get this straight, you want me to join you in your rich people party as your honorary son and plus one?” Danny deadpanned.
“Yes, that’s about it.”
Or...
In which Danny Fenton has to go to Gotham to stop ghost shenanigans from ensuing. Vlad gets a redemption arch because I genuinely think that (at first) if he only got his head out of his ass then he'd be a cool psuedo dad.
A Heart Frozen Shut - Library_of_Cronos
The red-haired sister to the new guard hadn’t seemed interesting to Victor Fries, but she at least kept the room colder the few sessions they previously spent together.
So, what was she apologizing for?
down the rabbit hole (goes the throne) - halfagone (milkywxy)
After defeating an unusual creature, three members of the Justice League find themselves incidentally transported to an unfamiliar realm. There, they receive the help of a teenager by the name of 'Danny'. Only, as they find out, their helper might not be Danny at all. Batman plans to step in, with the aide of his family, to unravel the mystery. And quite the mystery it is.
There's something Wrong with Amity Park, but what does one Danny Fenton have to do with any of it?
As it turns out: everything and nothing.
And that's the least confusing part.
Change in Management - voidwriting
Who's Afraid Of Who? - Omnicrex
Tumblr Prompt from Stealingyourbones: Jazz becomes a criminal psychologist and works for the GCPD and interrogates and cracks even the criminals with the strongest will to spill incriminating evidence and poke holes in their alibi.
Adendum by Mikami1992: Someone gives Jazz the wrong interrogation room number. Now she goes to visit a certain Dr. Crane... The station officers realize the error in the files when visiting the other resource, 1 hour later it's too late. By the time they arrive at the interrogation room, they find...
Dr Jasmine Nightingale became an expert on the mind to help people. That included almost all of Gotham's worst offenders. Dr Crane, aka Scarecrow, is about to find out more first hand.
From Eldritch Horror To Fun Dad - Omnicrex
Tumblr Prompt from p0ssym1lker: Danny being known as terrifying to the justice League and a fun small guy to the young Justice League
*Life After Death Support - Notrus
Danny is figuring out this super hero thing one step at a time and with so many heroes around, surely someone would be open to having a ghostly apprentice - or at least show him the ropes. But maybe what he's really looking for is someone to relate to and maybe Red Hood isn't the safest choice, but there's very credible rumors that he's died before...
Jason just wants to lock this wannabe vigilante in one of his safehouses and make sure nothing finishes the job of killing him. But maybe a snarky teenager that deals with his own death way better than he did is just what he was missing...
Dead by Starlight - BulletToTheThighAndAss
Damian Wayne gets along well with his siblings (at least, better than anyone was expecting a half-feral assassin prince to get along with anyone). This may be because he once had a brother. Potentially.
OR: Damian Wayne has a dead big brother. He didn't really see the point in telling anyone until Danyal Al Ghul (or is it Danny Fenton?) supposedly comes back from the dead.
But I Want to Be Let In, Not Out - TheWritingOwl
Growing up with the Fentons, Danny resigned himself to the fact that he would never see Damian again. However, when he gets summoned to Gotham after becoming the Ghost King, he finds himself reuniting with his long lost twin.
The Wayne's Invisible Eldritch Friend - Half-dead Ham (Grima101)
Danny's experiences with the Wayne family and the various characters they're connected with and vice versa.
*Let Me Have My Vengeance (It's the Only Salve that Saves) - SagaDuWyrm
To summon the High King of the Dead, you must make a sacrifice of heroes blood. Unfortunately, what counts as a hero is entirely up to the Ghost King himself, requiring enterprising cultists to capture multiple heroes and test out all of them. The most controversial of these heroes is the Red Hood, Avenger and Guardian of Crime Alley.
Long Lost Love (Holds On to Me Tight) - SagaDuWyrm
Prompt is from @keimiwolf on Tumblr:
"Damian Al Ghul know his brother is dead. So when a cult summons the ghost king, Damien Wayne is not expecting to see a familiar face."
Taking Flight - Eternal_Phantom
Danny decides to tell his parents the truth. It doesn't go so hot. Fleeing Amity Park for his life he decides Gotham is the best place to fall through the cracks. Sadly as a black-haired blue-eyed teen with a strong sense of morality the adoption papers were half filled out.
Unfortunately for Bruce, Danny has a thing about rich guys with secret identities who want to adopt him.
Joke Conspiracy - Autophile
The world works very hard to make the amount of humans who know Dannys is Phantom larger.
Danny at seventeen has a PhD on Hiding a Secret Identity.
Or: inspired by that one scene in every Danny/Batman crossover were the Bats confront Danny with his secret identity.
Rooftops - NerdofSpades
They left Amity Park behind. Danny never expected to see a familiar face while racing across the rooftops of Gotham.
Life Assurance - animal_luver8153
Danny has inherited all contracts made with Pariah Dark but doesn’t know it until he finds himself pulling a bullet out of Bruce Wayne.
<>
In which Danny now has to negotiate with a old man over a life assurance policy he purchased.
Finding Bones, Finding Ghosts - TheWritingOwl
As prince of the Infinite Realms and future master of Space, Danny knows that he must master the art of making portals. To be able to step through a tear in reality of his own creation and appear wherever his heart desires was crucial in his training. Clockwork had sent him to Wulf, a ghost who had long since mastered the creation of portals and was currently hiding from Walker.
No matter how hard he tries, Danny just can't seem to get it. Wulf says that in order to make a portal, Danny needs to channel his deepest desires. He must want for nothing but to reach his destination. However, Danny doesn't have a deepest desire. Everything he could ever need or want is in the Infinite Realms with him. What could he possibly desire so much that he would tear reality to get to it?
But if I Made My Bed, Did I Make the Demons in It? - TheWritingOwl
Of all things, Danny didn't expect needing to get his bio parent's written permission in order to do his duty as the Ghost King. Still, his parents should be fine helping him find this bio parent. After all, it wasn't like he loved them any less.
Wait, sorry, he's actually a WHAT?
When the Stars Don't Look Quite Right - TheWritingOwl
Duke likes to think of himself as a pretty chill guy. With all of the oddities that called Gotham their home, Duke had learned when to look further and when to just let his classmates be.
Of course, when a new kid suddenly joins their class, Duke's first instinct is to leave the kid alone. However, the more he looked at the kid, the more he noticed that something was... wrong with him. Duke didn't know what Danny Fenton was hiding, but now that the kid had piqued his curiosity, he was going to find out.
Whispers at the Door, "Let Us In, Let Us In" - TheWritingOwl
During one of his research binges, Tim stumbles across the work of the deceased Doctors Fenton. While he's not sure he believes in their claims about ghosts and other ecto-beings, he is interested in the portal they managed to create. After begging Bruce to let him go, Tim heads to the abandoned lab of the Fentons, determined to check out this portal for himself. Sure, he has to take Damian with him, but he's not going to let the Demon Brat ruin his chance at checking out some potentially revolutionary tech.
Of course, he didn't expect to get trapped on a floating asteroid in the Ghost Zone with Damian. Surely those papers about the vicious ghosts were exaggerating. Right?
Holding On to the Shovel and Rope - TheWritingOwl
Bruce has seen it all. Aliens, assassins, monsters, future selves. Whatever existed in this world, Bruce probably already had at least two different world-ending disasters fighting over. One of the oddities of the world he'd dealt with the most? Clones.
When he meets a boy that looks oddly like his estranged son, Jason, he immediately has some concerns.
There's Too Many Monsters in the Backyard - TheWritingOwl
Damian was sure his mother would finally be the death of him. As she got ready to deal the final blow, his only comfort was that he would finally be able to be reunited with his brother, Danyal. Of course, fate had other plans.
Danny should have died with his family. On the run from Vlad, he follows his instincts to the last family member he still has left.
Run Away Ghost - ellabellabugz
Danny runs into Nightwing and gets shot.
Danny shares too much when trying to convince Nightwing that he's fine.
Ghost Heights - ellabellabugz
Danny runs into Batman and accidentally slips something up about having trauma,
To cover it up he clings to the lie he's terrified of heights.
It doesn't work that well, seeing as he just fell from a building fearlessly and was perfectly fine teetering on the edge of another building.
*oh lazarus, how did your debts get paid - HollowMashiro
Jason emerges from the Lazarus Pit with whole extra person in tow.
*Ghost Tag Is An Extreme Sport - XysidheQueen
Jason is beginning to question Danny's teaching methods and is feeling distinctly murderous. Extreme laser tag with the unholy bastard child of a gun fair and scrap yard isn't his idea of a good time.
*Growing Pains and Ghost Kings - XysidheQueen
Jason is adjusting to life as a halfa, and Danny has plans to make it easier on him. His idea of a helpful exercise might not fit into what anyone else thinks is a good idea, but he's going to go for it anyways. He's the king, who can tell him he's wrong?
*Rooftop Chili Dogs and Introductions To A New Species - XysidheQueen
Jason struggles to understand what has happened to him. At least he got some chili dogs out of the situation, even if he's not sure if the guy who saved him wants to eat his soul or something. And he might possibly be a lich?
*Fateful Meetings And Casual Resurrections - XysidheQueen
Danny is told by Clockwork to wait in a random graveyard, and lacking anything better to do he obeys. Not that the ghost of time ever really gives him a choice, but hey he likes to pretend he has some modicum of control over his afterlife. Meeting a zombie teenager was not on his 2022 bingo list, nor was saving his (after)life in the process but honestly, he's here for it. Maybe he'll even get a new friend out of it.
*Enshroud - Olive_of_Vanders
Danny didn't mean to kill the clown – whelp...
*Equilibrium - Olive_of_Vanders
Danny was just visiting Gotham, of course someone decided to start shit.
Altruistic - Olive_of_Vanders
He just wanted to open a portal, Wulf was showing him how to – sure, he struggled and wasn't sure what destination to pick, but how did he end up in the "Watchtower"?
Restoration - Olive_of_Vanders
Danny is sick of meetings – Observants hounding him more and more. When he hears about dead rising, he's definitely leaving this meeting to go check it out. Observants be damned!
Contretemps - Olive_of_Vanders
Danny enters a natural portal by accident – it's really not his fault it opened up in front of him! What is this "Got-ham" place anyway?
Inquisitive - Olive_of_Vanders
Damian has a very specific way of dealing with reporters – show them the animals, that usually scares them off.
Danny, however, has seen weirder shit in his lifetime.
Furtive - Olive_of_Vanders
Danny Fenton is on the run – from who, you ask? Madeline and Jack Fenton. However, the fruitloop of every hour decides to help and so Danny lay lows in Gotham.
It didn't even take a month for him to expose himself to a bat.
*love is an open door (you are the door) - violetmoreviolent
Jason Todd's status as a resurrected apparently means that the Ghost King can use him as his personal portal. Apparently the Ghost King is a cute boy Jason's age. Apparently, Jason falls in love at first sight.
This is everyone's problem.
i found him, he's mine now - violetmoreviolent
Damian finds Danny alone in the park waiting for his (imaginary) dog with no parents in sight.
That level of negligence is unacceptable and if he has to be this boy's guardian then so be it.
Double or Nothing - lauraeb5
When Danny runs into the Team on a mission, they are determined to help this broken young hero. Unfortunately, Danny's former captors aren't the only ones interested in him. Can the team protect their newest member? And can Danny finally move on from the tragedy that haunts his every step?
#dpxdc#dp x dc#ao3#hellphrog#stressed-overdressed#these aren't completely up to date#i can't do anything about it rn#if you read smth here please go give the authors some love once ao3 is back up#theyre all so talented

Do you guys have any fancast that isn't your typical Hollywood mainstream, A-listers and actors from franchises/shows highly popular on social media like Nicole Kidman, Julianne Moore, Gillian Anderson, Zendaya, Mads Mikkelsen, Peter Capaldi, Hugh Laurie etc?
Nothing against them, but I'm curious if you have any different ideas... Can be big actors that have won or been nominated to an Oscar/Emmy/Tony but aren't that popular or people who aren't that recognized, but you think they're talented and have unexplored potential.
If you could share a gif or a video of them so I can see the vision, I'd appreciate.
Also, it doesn't necessarily have to be people you associate with a specific character, it can be just a "I'd like to see them on the show, don't matter who they play" situation. :)
If this gets ignored then just look away and pretend the post and let's pretend the post never existed lol.
#interview with the vampire#btw no shade to those actors they're all talented but i just feel like fancasts get so repetitive with popular names like that yk#or they're based on physical appearance and use actors that aren't on their level (or at least have never been on a movie that proved that)#sometimes people use even singers with no acting experience and i'm ????? also the way it's usually 10 white people and the same 3 bipoc#and i'm like are what about talented actors that aren't that popular and nobody thinks about (including some with big awards) be creative!!

the only thing I'm grateful to Only Friends about at this stage is introducing me to Force and Book ~~
I will finish it because I want to support them but the glossing over the trauma and not allowing the growth of their characters has actually made me so sad??
Manifesting an excellent series that they're the main couple in next year, they deserve better. I kind of don't rlly understand the hate on them tho? Lots of actors have shitty series & characters (which I don't think is the case with them) and they're still liked? make it make sense plez
#Like some other actor pairs I wasn't impressed with#Even prior to finding ForceBook#but they're loved not hated so#srsly is it because they're older than other actors?#i want to fix the unfairness#it is like watching what happens to talented ppl daily??#bc they're not talented in the “right” way whatever that is#like talent is subjective anyway?#i often find other characters in ofs to be overreacted#like having set reactions to certain situations#very method acting i guess#but forcebook i don't feel like engage in that as much#not so much method which is not a bad thing at all imo#i haven't been able to take my eyes off of Mew the entire show#because i can see there's a lot more going on#Top too#But the others i kinda got it after a while ik what to expect#they're all v talent#but ik from singing that it's harder to play emotions that aren't sadness & anger#they're sooo much easier to hide behind and tend to look impressive#that's what i feel like is happening here#this feels personal ahhaha

there's a genre of youtube video where people do deep-dive analyses of scenes from movies, like talking about camera angles and shot composition &c and the techniques the filmmakers are using and how they relate to the movie's themes/plot/&c. and every time without fail if you go into the comments you'll find some dork being like "i guarantee you've put wayyy more thought into this than the people who made this movie did 🤣🤣"
and obviously this kind of "sometimes the curtains are just blue" point-blank refusal to engage with the material on any level but the most superficial is annoying because it's boring and anti-intellectual and all but. it also just bothers me because i think it speaks to a complete lack of understanding of the kind of timeframe most creative work operates on. like making a movie from start to finish is a multi-year endeavor i PROMISE you every last little detail of the production has been considered at SOME point by SOMEONE involved
#and yeah sometimes stories don't come together and sometimes it's because the people telling them aren't very good at their jobs#and sometimes it's because storytelling is an extremely slippery beast and sometimes even really talented storytellers lose their grip#and sometimes it's a secret third thing#and if the curtains are just blue. well. why?#why do you think the writer didn't take the opportunity to imbue the curtains with some kind of symbolic resonance?#would the story have been better if they had?#take my hand. let's analyze media together#*the guy takes my hand and i swiftly break all his fingers so he can no longer leave dumbfuck annoying youtube comments*

Jay White better eat that fucking pin against Yuta.
Editing this to add: I'm not even sure they will give them a proper feud. That's how bad Yuta's booking has been.
#top 10 talent in the company and 3 time pure champion can't be booked properly#but we have to put up with another undisputed kingdom storyline because most ex wwe guys aren't good storytellers.#at this point he needs to learn some politicking from mox because this shit is egregious.#YOU ARE TELLING ME BRYAN DANIELSON'S PROTEGE CAN'T BE BOOKED WELL?????#wheeler yuta#aew#w-wrestling tag?

gonna make an educated guess and say that when casey is referring to the 'hard passes' valentino made on him in 2006 in practise and in races, at least one of those was this one from donington. almost runs into the back of him and then - hard to tell from the camera work, but it certainly looks like valentino runs him pretty wide lol. look at how close they get
dead eyed wave to the camera. "most people would be happy with fourth but we know he won't be". morose child
#always important to remember that the rivalry didn't start at qatar 2007. they have a few in-race scraps in 2006#we were so close to the first dani/vale/casey podium there :(#wondering whether casey could've had a problem with the shanghai pass. i mean it's a bit block-y but also harmless surely#//#brr brr#heretic tag#btw lads if you're looking to compare an alien rookie season to pedro. casey is probably your guy. don't get why more aren't doing that#satellite machinery that is decent but not great. clearly some brilliant pace but attempting to override and crashing a fair bit#i get why marc is the obvious go-to for brilliant rookie seasons but casey is at least as talented so should be a perfectly good benchmark

Feels bad only to be good at things that computers do now
#but Ivan aren't you better at them than the computer#here is the thing#yes#but#the problem is that if the computer can do it 'good enough'#society is going to go with the computer every time#so the question isn't are you better it's are you better *enough*#the answer for almost everyone including me is no#the computer is the perfect summation of the logic of the industrial revolution#we do not and have not valued anything over efficiency and scale#at a mass societal level we will take 10000 mediocre AI works of art over 1 work produced with love care and mastery every time#the sheer combination of wealth talent and connection necessary to keep above water is ever-increasing#there will be some artists and some writers and some thinkers and some scholars etc etc in the future#but far fewer than now

listen it's kind of rich that soyeon can be so forthright with her opinions on talent on survival shows with some of her group mates.
#it's not her talents that are the problem but I do wonder if she's as frank with her members about their dancing/singing/stage presence#🤔#fantasy boys came up on yt and some of the guys she's telling to quit or that they're insincere aren't as bad as gidle's weakest link tbh
