[starry-bi-sky]

I'm in A Mood™ (stressed) so im going back to my roots of melting two character together into one person. So bruce wayne!danny fenton. Danny Fenton who, for eight years, grew up in a beautiful gothic manor with his mom and dad under the name "Bruce Wayne". Playing piano with his mother, running around the manor with his father.

Then when he's eight it's ripped away from him. There's blood on his hands and pearls pooling at his feet, and both his parents are dead in front of him.

And he gets shipped off to distant relatives "the Fentons" shortly after, Alfred close on his heels because someone needs to take care of him, someone that knows him. Bruce goes to the Fentons for the safety of anonymity. Gotham's press wants to sink its teeth into him.

Danny misses his city even if it took everything from him. There are shadows in his eyes and he's pale as a sheet even beside his distant cousins, and they change his name to "Danny Fenton' because nobody should know that their newest child was illustrious orphan Bruce Wayne.

They call him Bruce behind closed doors. Danny prefers it that way, he clings onto the name -- the one his parents gave him -- like a lifeline. He makes friends with Sam and Tucker. Tucker takes one look at the willowy, morbid little boy standing in the corner like a shade, ghosts in his eyes, and drags him out into the sunlight, and takes him over to Sam.

When Danny is twelve, he's still not over it -- and he's a little obsessed with the Fentons' research, with the morbid. He has books upon books on death, murder, detective work. Anything he can get his hands on. And stars. He loves stars.

Alfred owns the apartment next to them and comes over regularly. Danny clings to him.

When Danny is twelve, he's still quiet, meek, a shy little thing prone to being bullied. Freaky little Fenton with the night in his eyes and too-cold skin even before he put one foot in the grave. in a sleepover in his room with Sam and Tucker, he tells them the truth. They're his friends, he trusts them.

"My name is Bruce." he murmurs, voice quiet as the breeze, always quiet. he's staring at his star-covered sheets.

"Like Bruce Wayne?" Tucker asks, a joking tone in his voice.

Danny smiles a little, lamb-like with insecurity. "I am Bruce Wayne." And he takes them down to the lab, disrupting Maddie and Jack, to prove it. Sam tells them of her own wealth then shortly after. They start calling Danny "Bruce" in private too -- its trust. Thats what it is. It's trust.

Sam goes to media functions and comes back with aching feet and complaints on her tongue -- and Danny soaks it up all like a sponge, splayed across a beanbag chair with Tucker in her room. He's not envious of her, he used to go to events with his parents and they kept him safe from the ugly of Gotham's Elite. For the most part. He's had comments made at him, he doesn't miss them.

Alfred returns to the manor semi-regularly, Danny goes with him. he wanders the hallways and helps Alfred clean, the last thing either of them want is for their home to fall into disrepair. He brings Jazz with him next time, then Tucker, then Sam. They all help him clean, and he shows them his room. The one across from his parents', it feels strange.

When Danny dies when he's fourteen, the first adult he tells is Alfred. He and Jazz go over to his house more often than they stay in the Fentonworks building. At least at Alfred's, the food doesn't come to life. Alfred sits at the kitchen table and weeps when Danny tells him, Jazz is upstairs, and its just the two of them.

Danny's ghost form wears pearls around his wrist and the gloves look stained with some kind of black substance. He looks like a child who died in a lab accident, but he also looks like a child who has shadows dripping off his shoulders, curling at his feet, hanging from his eyes.

because amorphous blob batman has my heart always and danny/bruce will not escape it even in death even if that IS the only reason im giving him Mild BatBlob Vibes...so far

when they go to the manor, alfred helps danny make a pile of stones between Martha and Thomas' graves, nobody but the two of them (and sam and tucker) will know what it means. (not even bruce's children later down the line, not for a long, long time)

danny dives into ghost fighting on shaky feet and not half as witty as he once was in one world. he's skittish, skittering between blasts from shadow to shadow and clumsily making his way through each battle. but helping people lights a fire in him. he still has shadows dripping off his feet but there's a purpose in his eyes.

and god help him, he's going to help people.

Almost 10 years later and we still FEASTIN.

I remember when this page dropped on Tuesday, July 16, 2013, and Blackenloin/Goldenheart/Goldheart/w/e shippers all collectively lost our minds. Yes, Ballister and Ambrosius are very shippable from the get-go (their hand placement on p.13, Ambrosius on p.21 to Ballister "Are you trying to make me jealous" and his otherwise flirty dialogue, Ambrosius holding Ballister's hand at the bar on p.102, plus little hints and things by Nate on Nate's tumblr), but p.126 was an outright confirmation that it wasn't just angsty and close platonic stuff (with very clingy Ambrosius) that's fun to ship but not exactly canon in the text itself (like you can read it as "oh these two had something" from the get-go but it's not exactly explicit up until this point, and it's a different experience reading the completed comic all in one go versus reading it page by page over the course of a couple years as pages release). The Director's wording, Ambrosius' little blush. Ahh, these beans.

So excited to see the movieeeee

Apologies AU - Good Ending Drop

Hey, everyone. It was my goal to finish Apologies in tandem with the Tournament, but for health reasons, I won't be able to as I planned. Because I tied the story to the tournament and don't feel like untangling it again and making everyone wait more, I'm going to give you all the ending spoilers, as I promised I would if I became unable to finish the story.

What I'm about to describe is THE Good Ending. The True Ending I had planned out almost from the beginning!

-

In the main-verse...

Susie, who sees too much of herself in Adeleine, decides to take matters into her own hands to bring the girl's older brother back.

She takes the vial of Dark Matter Swordsman DNA that was harvested from King Dedede. Meta Knight catches up with her and argues against it. It's foolish, dangerous, and liable to be nothing but painful to all parties involved. But Susie anticipated interference and asked Zan to bodyguard her. When Zan arrives (late) to the lab, the argument has caused the vial to begin to react to all the negativity in the room. Zan recognizes its contents as Dark Matter and insists on calling Lord Hyness, who in his own quirky way, analyzes their problem and suggests that while the contents are too weak to survive on their own, a resurrection could be possible, using Void's powers to mimic a hive queen, supplying whatever creature emerges the power to survive on Popstar without burning up into ash...

-

In the tourney-verse...

White-Haired Noir is at peace with his life and has come to accept the death of his precious little sister many years ago, but...a part of him still wishes to make Adeleine happy.

Using his fairy-born dimension sight, he discovers an Alternate Noir who is 98% percent compatible with main-verse Noir. This is the Purgatory!Noir from the Re_Birthday post. And he drags this unstable, utterly clueless Noir out of this peaceful void without his permission and secretly "volunteers"  the massively confused, un-alive but un-dead teen boy for the Kirby OC Tournament.

It is White-Haired Noir that is the "good" voice on phone and in Noir's head, encouraging rationality. His goal? Get Noir some friends. Get him to face up to/open up to people about his past. And get him caring about his life enough that he wants to live...! 

White-Haired Noir has seen what the main-verse Star Allies are attempting and knows that the odds of them actually bringing "Noir" back instead of just an emotionless monster are low without a compatible "Noir Soul" (haha) to inhabit the new vessel.

Over the course of many in-tourney events, including Noir learning to have faith in the sibling bonds he built with Gooey despite being Dark Matter at the time, learning to separate himself and Adeleine as individuals instead of clinging to her to his own neglect, privately opening up to King Dedede, who put the pieces together post-possession, about some awful stuff Noir put up with for years in secret from Raquelle's father (who privately loathed Neichel AND her kids and took it out on Noir) to "pay" for Adeleine's good life...

And lastly, using the power of wishes to interrogate if THIS Noir's true wish is to die and be free, to have never been born, to have had a normal "perfect" life, or if he simply wishes for a second chance to be with those he cares about... White-Haired Noir determines that Tourney!Noir is ready and reveals his plan to him. Noir confesses to him that he really does want to live and be with his family again and offers up his stronger soul for Susie and the gang's vessel.

-

Back in the main-verse...

The experiment is a success! They have brought, well, something back. It is not quite like Dark Matter Swordsman in form, nor is it exactly a human boy. It looks a little bit like a spiky haired-Gooey.

After some tense questioning of the emotionless, memoryless, unresponsive goo, it...suddenly seems to awaken. With the voice of a deeply shaken and scared young boy, the violet-eyed blob questions the mad scientist, cultists, and masked man surrounding him... Where the hell is he? And where are his little brother and sister?

Meta Knight welcomes Noir back to the world of the living.

Later, after Noir has time to dress himself in an appropriate scarf, Adeleine and Gooey are brought in and it is a happy and tear-filled reunion all around as Noir confirms that, while this form is strange, it's not dangerous and he's not in pain. He is then re-introduced to King Dedede, whereupon it's revealed that even though Noir likes him, he's still a snarky teen punk at heart, as he sasses the king horribly. (Dedede has gained another kid, but at what cost? XD)

...And that's it.

That's the ending to Apologies I've held onto for nearly a year.

For reading through all that, here is a short comic I drew a while back of the reunited family having a snowball fight in White Wafers.

-

(Not to unnecessarily over-explain the story but because the comic is a little vague, I have to tell you that no, Noir does not ever return to human after his revival. I meant it when I wrote in several places that their parting on Shiver Star was the last time they'd see each other "...in this form." This is merely meant to depict a moment in which Adeleine, seeing her brother alive and smiling and laughing and having real fun for the first time in so long, is able to imagine his old self smiling and is at peace that her brother is finally free from the hurt and misery he bore up with for so long.)

(...And yes, he has a long, silly tongue just like Gooey. Which is why he hides all but his eyes behind the scarf. Gotta keep up that cool older brother look even as a little goo creature! While Noir can't become human - frankly, he doesn't miss having a human body, given the stuff in his adolescence and being over-stressed, underfed, under-slept and just overall sick all the time in his later teens - he does eventually acquire the ability to shift into his old "Swordsman" form for short bursts of time.)

-

(Lastly, you might wonder how I could have had this exact ending in mind from almost the beginning when so much of it is tied up in recent posts like the tourney? ...Well, originally what was going to happen to allow Noir to be properly resurrected into the Dark Matter Goo body is that the Dream Rod from Star Allies was going to appear in response to a grieving Adeleine's wishes to see her brother again, bringing Noir-as-Swordsman back. At least for a LITTLE while, as it would be revealed that with Zero dead, Noir, who was entirely composed of Dark Matter at this point, couldn't survive on Popstar. Every moment he was there, his body was burning.)

(Still, he lasts long enough to have one final talk with Adeleine that helps heal him from the torturous events of DL 3 - in which we learn a highly disappointed Zero drove Noir to the absolute breaking point, shattering his mind and his newly regained soul. Adeleine also tells Noir she has finally realized everything he did for her during their childhood and apologizes to him for not seeing it before. With dawn on the horizon, Noir asks to look over Adeleine's sketchbooks with her before the end... He dies one last time, peacefully, while Adeleine finally gets to properly mourn him.)

(Then, all the "main-verse" sections proceed to happen as stated above!)

-

(...Okay, okay. One last thing. There was also an alternate ending planned where Magolor, taking advantage of the fact that Merry Magoland was built on a nexus point, finds a way to reunite Adeleine and White-Haired Noir - still a teen in this version - using his theme park as a union point, as special birthday gift for Adeleine.)

(I was kinda fond of this one for reuniting the timelines, but it opened up a lot of questions such as, if Magolor made it so that Noir and Adeleine from two different dimensions can see each other as long as they're both in Magoland, could others from the WH Noir-verse see the main-verse this way? It invited too many questions, so that's why I scrapped that one and just let White-Haired Noir grow up instead.)

Auraugust Day 5: Safe Harbor

Akira's heart was stricken by all the people, young and old, that now just...did not exist. Hades was disgusted by how Alexandria had interfered with the cycle of death. And Hythlodaeus was unsettled by the callous use of souls as if they were potions.

Luckily they had each other to lean on.

🤲 A guiding hand for Lokius <3

Posted on ao3 if people prefer reading over there!

In which Loki has a surprise for Mobius

Mobius arrived home from the market just after lunchtime. He’d been there far longer than he wanted to, as people kept stopping him to chat. Every time he reached a new stall, they’d ask him variations of the same question: “How’s the gardening going?” “Where’s your partner?” “Did you hear about the village meeting next Thursday?”. It was almost as if they were all reading off a script.   

He didn’t mind chatting with the people in their village; they had been so kind to welcome them into their community with open arms, but he did want to get back home to Loki quickly. They hadn’t had lunch yet, and he promised that they’d make pizza with the ingredients he bought.   

“I’m home!” He called.   

Loki stepped out of the kitchen with a smile and moved towards him to kiss his cheek. “Welcome back, dear. Whatever took you so long?” He plucked the shopping bags out of Mobius' arms and turned back towards the kitchen.   

Mobius sighed dramatically. “Where do I start?” He scoffed, bending down to take off his shoes. “Everyone and their mother wanted to talk to me today, and I couldn’t get away without being impolite.” He heard Loki laugh from the other room and continued his rant. “Can you believe that they’re doing roadworks on the main road again? They weren’t there when I walked into town this morning! And even though I walked home, I had to follow a diversion; it’s ridiculous!”  

“Sounds like you didn’t have much luck today.”   

“Tell me about it.” He said and moved towards the kitchen door.

“If you could be so kind as to wait there for me, Mobius,” Loki called, “I have a surprise for you!”   

He paused. “What’s the occasion?”   

Loki reappeared and leaned against the kitchen doorway, smiling at him fondly. “Can’t I do something nice for my husband without needing an occasion?”   

“Loki, last time you surprised me, you used your magic to grow ivy on the front of the house, but you forgot to limit the spell, so it grew over the front door, and we couldn’t get out.”   

“You said that you wanted ivy growing on the house when we first moved in.” Loki pouted.   

He moved closer to wrap his arms around Loki’s waist. “I do, but we could’ve grown it ourselves and maintained it properly.” He placed a quick kiss on Loki’s lips. “You don’t have to give me everything that I wish for.”   

Loki tipped his head up defiantly. “Yes, I do.”   

He’d told Loki multiple times that he didn’t need him to buy or conjure anything for him to be happy, but Loki always replied with a flutter of his eyelashes and a “But it makes me happy, Mobius.” Loki knew how to use those beautiful eyes to his advantage, and the sweet expression melted Mobius’ insides every time. He’d let Loki do anything if it meant that he was happy, so he yielded yet again.   

“Okay, sweetheart, what have you got for me this time?”   

Loki jumped, vibrating with excitement. “It’s outside in the garden. Something you’ve always wanted!” He held his hand out to Mobius and grinned. “Close your eyes and take my hand.”   

Mobius raised his eyebrows at his husband curiously, and Loki winked at him, wriggling his fingers for Mobius to take.   

It must be something big for Loki to ask him to do this. Normally, surprises were just sprung on him; no secrecy was needed. This one, however, seemed more planned than the average surprise he’d gotten used to.   

He closed his eyes and took his hand, yet again falling so easily into the trap set by Loki. He couldn’t resist how excited he looked, and if he were being honest, he was kind of excited too.   

Just then, a thought struck him, and he opened one eye quickly to look at Loki. “You better not have enlarged another Venus fly trap. Flies are supposed to be outside, y’know.”   

"I won't repeat that mistake,” Loki tsked before guiding him through the kitchen towards the large French doors to the patio.   

He could feel the sun on his skin as he reached the threshold, and Loki let go of his hand to take hold of his arm gently. “Watch your step.”   

“Wait there,” Loki said when Mobius was safely outside.   

Anticipation bubbled in his stomach. What on Earth had Loki got for him? Perhaps it was that barbeque he’d been eyeing at the shop the other day? Or the bench that he’d seen online that was 40% off—that was too good of a deal to pass up. Or maybe it was something extravagant, like a fountain.   

He listened carefully to the sounds of the garden, but all he could hear were Loki’s footsteps as he moved around the patio, obviously arranging things and the wind chime that Loki had bought at the craft market last month.   

He felt Loki’s hands on his arms again, and he moved forward a few steps.   

“Perfect,” he said. “Now on the count of three, open your eyes.”   

“One, two, three!”   

Mobius opened his eyes.   

“SURPRISE!” 

He blinked rapidly and looked around in an attempt to take in the scene before him.    

The patio had been decorated for a party. Balloons were pinned to the trellis that lined the wall by the door, and streamers had been draped over the camellia bushes nearby. A gold tablecloth draped over the patio table, and on top was an array of party food. But what stood out to him the most was a large, key lime pie with candles poked precariously around the edges.  

The garden was full of all of their friends, old and new. He looked over to see O.B., Casey and B-15 hovering by the table, and O.B. waved at him enthusiastically. To the left of them was a group of his friends from the town. He saw a few of the people who held him up at the market, and they smiled knowingly at him.   

Everything clicked into place. Loki had orchestrated the whole thing. The incessant chatting and the roadworks were all part of his plan to stall Mobius long enough to set this up.   

In front of all of them stood Loki, who beamed at Mobius, his eyes shining with what looked like tears.   

“Happy birthday, Mobius,” he said, opening his arms for a hug.   

Mobius felt himself well up. No one had ever done anything so thoughtful for him. He flung himself into Loki’s open arms and squeezed his waist tightly as he tucked his head into his neck.   

Loki kissed the top of his head and ran a soothing hand down his back. “I knew that you’d forget the date that you chose for your birthday,” he said quietly. “So, I thought I’d do something special to remind you.”   

He lifted his head and kissed Loki firmly on the lips, which earned a muffled sound of surprise from Loki and some cheering from their friends. He smiled into it, wondering what he’d done to deserve the love that Loki gave him so freely.   

When he pulled away, Loki had the tiniest blush on his cheeks. Mobius kissed him again quickly, for good measure. He delighted in making Loki flustered.   

“I love you so much,” he murmured against his lips. “Thank you for this.”   

Loki kissed his cheek and whispered, “Anything for you.”   

“Now, what do you say we celebrate with the pie that Casey made for you?”    

Loki held his hand out again for Mobius, and this time he took it happily. He allowed Loki to guide him towards their friends, and they all took turns hugging him.  

He really was home.

having swap au thoughts. *slaps roof of claus* there's so much mental illness in this guy. im gonna blow up everyone in the room and then myself

[stardestroyer81]

I've noticed some of my Pizza Tower posts as well as my Star Tower overview post have been getting some attention as of late, and I simply couldn't be happier on the matter, especially seeing how much people like Star Tower in particular!

And seeing as I've had art of the lot sitting around for some time, I've decided to whip up six individual icons for each of the five Fruitins as well as the Super Key as it's been quite a while since the Fruitins have all been seen together on this blog! 🍒🍊🍈🥨🍌🔑

[sugarywishes]

I uh, totally forgot to post this a week or so ago, so here you go, the relationship chart for the Afton twins, Charlie and the MCI/K(D)CI Kids! (Sorry, I would've added Mike and Will but this thing is big enough as is, I'll make a part two if it's requested enough)

I'll add more of the relationships in the reblogs, but as of now here are the ones for Charlie, Liz and Evan. Again, if you have any questions abt my lore or the characters just ask me in the comments or in the ask box preferably.

Also um I better not see this on Pinterest that would be awkward

[definitelynotshouting]

been having thinky thoughts lately over how funny it is that i chose to make Watchers (and Listeners to a lesser extent) glass cannons in hunger au. Yes these are incredibly powerful cosmic parasites that can sift through the Greater Code at will and even somewhat manipulate it<3 but also their code is so brittle that if they dont manually repair it at least once a month they'll collapse like spun sugar. They're like the world's most fragile and carnivorous horse. Hope this helps<3
