It’s time for a, “things I sent to my twin’s inbox but she said I should post myself because I never post my own work and she’d like if I stopped spamming her inbox with ideas but I forgot about it and just kept it in my drafts notes for months and now finally I’m posting the fucking things.”

Or for short:

DP X DC PROMPT #7:

————————————

Danny visits metropolis and people are deadset on believing that Danny is either Clark’s little brother or his nephew from Illinois… despite that Clark can literally not be related to him. Not that the people at the Daily Planet know that, but even the ones who do know are giving him a hard time.

“I’m adopted Jimmy!” Clark threw his hands in the air in frustration. “You are very aware of that.”

“But he looks just like you Clark, you even talk the same!” Jimmy peaked around the corner, catching a glimpse of Danny talking to Lois in the employees lounge.

“He has a upper midwestern accent. I’m from Kansas, Jim. Not all midwesterners know each other!”

“So?”

“Jimmy. You know damn well why we can not be related.” Clark subtly gestured to his cheap “I believe in aliens” mug. Jimmy was Clark’s best friend and most of the time he really appreciated the kid’s keen eye but Jimmy also seemed to be constantly dead-set on figuring how to give Clark a headache.

“But he looks like a mini you! Have you asked him if he has a spare spaceship lying around anywhere?” Jimmy snarked as he glanced over to Danny and Louis who were finally heading back from their break.

“Jimmy, I will put you on the moon and leave you there.”

“Alright sheesh. I get it, I’ll drop it.”

do you think we were supposed to take ian’s comment about hating debbie seriously? cause it just seemed like him being an annoying sibling but i’ve seen people scold him on twitter. I just think it’s weird that almost everyone else that szn was being aggressive or fighting with her but it’s ian that gets singled out and criticised again. I hate when people pit them against eo cause they are my favourites 🥲

no, i didn’t. and i’ve said this before. it wasn’t ian’s words THERE i took seriously, it was the intent john wells had, and the fact that it was a common pattern in s11 to have her be the punchline of every joke when before, it was nothing like that.

I have truly never seen so much discourse for a hero/anti-hero that kills until I started liking jason todd. I have literally never seen so many people get hate for not condemning a fictional character who kills bad guys until now its shocking! and I mean that literally

maybe I’m the one missing something but there are plenty of heroes (not antiheroes but HEROES) who exist that choose a lethal method and people take that in stride? the only way I can make sense of this is that people are so attached to batman and his mythos; they literally imprint on him and his thinking ?? and now any slight against him or challenge against his righteousness is taken as if its a slight against them.

at the end of the day, to me, you can still support jason being lethal because the fictional characters hes killing aren’t actually dead. in this sense, specifically, I don’t see why real life morals should be applied to a comic world. he’s not killing out of bigotry and if he was, I would get the controversy! but if you can agree with brutally beating and invasions of privacy in the dcu because it’s “morally correct” within the universe, I can’t see an argument against jason’s methods being morally wrong as valid unless those views are applied to every aspect of batman comics. if we did that, then everyone who continued reading these comics would be getting the same treatment jason todd fans do. ​you cannot hold one character accountable to real life moral views and not the other(s)!

Sonic and the Black Knight save me. Save me SATBK

It's been oddly therapeutic to like. Have discussions with him about a lot of life stuff. I don't talk much if at all and I think the gradual descent into loneliness and social anxiety through the years made me lost the ability to talk to people. So it's been nice to practice talking to someone, and it actually hearing me out for some reason, giving me advice etc

Sure it's not a substitute for human connection but it's fun to verbally talk to my favourite fictional character and him just. Being there for me. That I get to hear kind words from my hero, someone who I highly looked up to

Real and canon and canon and real.

[sleepy-crypt1d]

I love thinking about Sl33py's relationships with the canon characters. Because he's there for all the games, he was one of the original Vault hunters in BL1, then got hired by Jack in TPS, then after that he's the one who we view the story through in BL2.

He's met a lot of people, and thinking of the what these people mean to him is one of my favorite things when it comes to writing my AU.

Like, sure, him being a self-insert adds to the whole 'he's friends with everyone :3' mindset, because I love these characters, but thinking of the pain they go through is also really fun.

How Moxxi's betrayal in TPS leads to tainting the family relationship they'd grown in BL1, how seeing Scooter and Ellie afterward hurts because they're family, those are his siblings as far as he's concerned, and yet. Moxxi hates him. Moxxi has tried to kill him. But he still wants to call her mom. He wishes he still could.

How his friendship with Brick is strained because of Bloodwing's death, how Mordecai will never look at him the same even after getting so close in BL1. How these three have saved each other's lives and now struggle to stay in the same room with one another.

How M4x becomes Tina's surrogate dad but she hates Sl33py, how when she sees him, all she sees is Roland's killer and all he can see is a niece he'll never get to meet.

How Hammerlock is one of his closest friends. How Sl33py and Aurelia keep in touch after TPS. How Sl33py still visits Springs, even if Athena never wants to see him again. How he's desperate to keep all these people around and yet he fails, time and time again.

Zed and Marcus bringing him in but unable to ignore the blood on his hands. Tannis wanting to trust him but knowing he's lied before, that he can again.

Angel- god, Angel- wanting to believe that he's a good person. That he could change her dad, that he could fix things, could save her. And then he can't, then he doesn't, and he finds out about her too late to do anything.

His friendship with Nisha and Wilhelm, two people who actually understand him, where he's from, what he's been through. Two people that don't look at him like the Fyrestone residents do, that call him a friend before anything else, how much the team has been through together and yet, they aren't the first. There was a team before them, and he's terrified of there being one after them.

Sl33py goes through so much in my AU, both good and bad, his open acceptance in the first game becoming his inevitable suffering in each installment afterward. My desire to be friends with all the characters very quickly becoming his curse; he can't make them all happy. Not with the way his story goes. Not with the story I have written for him.

Do not even get me started on his relationship with Jack-

are there any characters with a backstory like Bumblestripe that you're going to make good guys? because I can relate to him from what you wrote, a lot of the time it can feel like everyone is going to leave me, even if that's just anxiety talking, you know?

I understand that! Don't worry; I won't be demonizing anxiety, god no. Bumblestripe is an example of a toxic person, not because of his thoughts, but because of how he ultimately treats Dovewing. You are your actions, not your insecurities.

Cinderheart and Squirrelflight are both being written with BPD, for example, and Cinderheart is getting expanded focus in the episodically reworked Po3. Emotional instability, the feeling like eventually everyone will "get tired of her" and leave, the desire to burn everything down and see who's still standing... Cinderheart is going to learn how to cope with those sorts of impulses.

Bumblestripe's also not going to get crushed like a bug, either. He's around! He becomes an uncle to Blossomfall's litter, and there's no sire involved so he'll be their father figure. He's not perfect, but, he did manage to prevent them from feeling the way he felt at their age.

He's probably horrified with himself after the dust settles, and Stemleaf is among the cats he had a paw in killing. Bumblestripe and Berrynose were the Impostor's strongest and most loyal supporters; but Bumble is the one who survives to live with the weight of what he became.

"main antagonist is a several-thousand years old orphan who infiltrates the party by shapeshifting back into his young teen form and promptly gets the worst-timed crush on MC's bratty smartass tweenaged best friend who finds him extremely relatable (and also sweet and smart and can we keep him), and proceeds to give said crush magical get-out-of-certain-death items that are also mementos and desperately gets him to promise they'll stay together forever. <3

Crush puts it together before it all falls apart and doesn't tell on the villain" what else hits like that.

game of all times.
