"you've been talking about wanting someone to spend the day with for weeks, silly me for thinking that was a sign."

"You're rejecting me?" Prompts

“Have you ever wondered about - I don’t know… - what could have been had I not rejected you back then?”

“You’re rejecting me? Me? Do you not know who I am?”

“One of these days, I will stop trying.”

“Are you saying that you never got rejected before? Lucky.”

“I knew this would happen. Anytime I dare to dream - BAM! - it gets crushed.”

“I’ve never seen you taking a rejection so poorly before.”

“That was brutal.” “I was just being honest.” “Still. You didn’t have to be a jerk about it.”

“You already said it all when you rejected me back at the–” “Rejected you? What are talking about?”

“I take it back.” “What?” “My words. I take them back.”

“I don’t know what else to say or do for them to realize that there will never be anything between us.”

“I reject any and all realities where you don’t agree to give me - us - a chance.”

“You thought I was hitting on you? That’s just ridiculous.”

“I thought I could handle it, being around them after that. But… I don’t think I’m doing all too well.”

“I feel awful. Their face when I-” “You did the right thing by telling them that you feel differently.”

“Can I ask you a question? For future reference? What about my approach made you not want to get to know me?”

“It’s been weeks since–” “They trampled all over my heart? And my dignity?” “It’s time to get back up, don’t you think?”

“I’m not strong enough to say ‘no’ to them.”

“Nice. Another humiliation/rejection to add to the pile.”

“No, no. I do. Believe me, I do genuinely like you. It’s just… Ugh. This will sound like a lame excuse, but… I’m not yet ready. Not for you. Not for us.”

“I’m not afraid of getting rejected. I just… don’t want to bother them.”

“I… I don’t think I can give you that. I’m sorry.”

“So now that they rejected you, you think you can just come crawling back to me?”

“I completely understand if you need some space.”

“Why? Why do you think we wouldn’t work?”

“I would never reject you. Never.”

“Why would I keep chasing you? You already said you’re not interested.”

“Be honest with me: Am I a complete mess? Because that rejection just made me want them even more.”

“I’m going to pretend they are in a relationship and that that’s why they rejected me.”

“Damn. Bringing up my childhood trauma would have been less painful than this.”

“Are we going to be okay? I don’t want this to have changed anything between us.”

“Still. I’m glad I said something.”

“You deserve the best. And that’s… That’s not me.”

“You know what I think? I think you’re scared.” 

“All good. You reciprocating would have been far scarier anyway, so I’m… almost glad you don’t.”

I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing the— DPxDC Prompt

“Woah. You look like shit."

Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.

The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.

"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."

And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.

The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.

If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.

"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.

"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.

"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.

The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.

He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."

There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.

"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."

Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"

"Daniel? Is that you?"

His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

Look At This Cute Cat- SIKE BITCH, IT'S A RACCOON!

Cat Danny this, fish Danny that. Give me my fucked up little trash panda thank you very much.

________

It was just there, lying on the floor, staring at him.

Damian's newest pet installment came in the form of a raccoon, except the damn thing was unlike any raccoon Jason has ever seen. It was mostly white with the most expressive eyes no raccoon should have.

Jason didn't like it. The little fuck always looked like it was judging him whenever he came by the manor and he could've swore that it gave him the middle finger at one point. If it didn't count as animal cruelty he would've chucked the thing out the nearest window right now and relish in its surprised scream. He wouldn't really do that of course but the thought was tempting.

"Todd stop pestering him," Damian walked in, picking up the lazy ringed bastard from off the floor as if that thing wasn't heavy from all the food it was eating.

"I didn't even do nothing."

As Damian turned his back and began walking away with the raccoon it looked him straight in the eyes and gave him two of its best middle fingers.

Yup! Jason hated that thing.

I've seen a few "I'm the only normal one here" jokes since tmagp started. I disagree.

lol arthur realizes with the other knights after watching merlin flirt and being hit with a wave of deja vu: holy shit you asked me out

merlin and the rest of the knights around a campfire after leaving a village bc lancelot and leon somehow started a brawl in the tavern: ???

arthur points at merlin: after valiant! you asked me to buy you a drink! you were asking me out!

merlin is busy cooking dinner and confused out of his fucking mind: what???…..valiant….oh the knight with the snakes.

gwaine who was slightly tipsy now stone cold sober and sitting up straight against a tree: wait. explain. what do you mean merlin asked you out??

arthur snaps his fingers as he recalls the memory: i apologized for sacking you and you said that if i bought you a drink we’d be even.

merlin now remembering how he had stumbled into camelot, picked a fight with a pigheaded bully which quickly turned homoerotic and flirtatious, and continued their teasing-flirting for days before merlin shot his shot and asked the prince out only to be rejected: oh yeah, i forgot i did that…..wait, you mean you didnt realize what i was asking?

arthur: no?? we argued everyday, how was i supposed to realize you were asking me out??

merlin now abandoning the dinner and staring across the camp at arthur while the rest of the knights watch their back and forth like a game of tennis: to you we were arguing, to me that was very much flirting. i thought you were flirting back so i decided to ask you. then you rejected me

arthur, mentally beating his past self up for fucking up their chance: i didn’t reject you!!! i just didn’t realize what you were asking me. how was i meant to? we fought every chance we got

leon, nudging elyan, glee and excitement riling through him: its happening!!! its finally happening!!! seven long, grueling years is finally paying off!!!

merlin, realizing the misunderstanding and acknowledging the fact that he wasn’t rejected, his flirtations just weren’t noticed - realizing he still has a chance: oh…oh i see. arthur, my dear, our fights were extremely flirtatious. need i remind you of what you said? “do you know how to walk on your knees? would you like me to teach you?” or “i could take you apart with one blow”

arthur, mental capabilities at an all time low: m…my dear….?????????

merlin grinning devilishly as he realizes that his flirtatious persona he had hidden away after falling head over heels for arthur can make a come back: that is what i called you. should i call you something else? say…mine?

percival gags in elyan’s ear: cheesy

elyan hides a laugh: at least they’re finally getting somewhere. better than the hopeless pining

arthur, flushed from head to toe: ah uh no um im uh

merlin thoroughly enjoying himself: oh come now, your majesty. use your words.

DP x DC prompt:

After Superman’s initial rejection of his very existence, Connor runs away, hoping to find someone, somewhere, that’s willing to help him despite what he is.

Several months later, a popular band is going on tour. They came out of nowhere, yet immediately became a fan favorite despite the fact that they consisted solely of teenagers.

They call themselves “The King And The Clones”.

Rejected Soulmate au where the bats discover a way to track Phantom. This leads to an all out brawl between the bats and Phantom, who is badly losing. In his attempt to escape he pulls out a portal gun to the ghost zone and fires it.

Things get out of hand, and he and Nightwing end up stranded in Hyrule and continue during it out, only to be interrupted by a castle in the distance being...lifted up into the sky???

Things happen in quick succession, they nearly get trampled by wild horses running in a panic, a bunch of caves appear along with an opening in the ground packed with red goo, and they get attacked by a weird evil goo monster in the form of a bunch of hands. Phantom ends up badly hurt and powers down to Fenton, shocking Nightwing and he has to carry the teen to safety as they flee the glowing mummy the hands had turned into after being defeated.

Nightwing is having a bad day.

[jesuistrestriste]

Just woke up from a nap and had a dream abt Art awkwardly rejecting someone because he had a gf (me)

Now i can't stop thinking about how he'd go about a situation like this

i feel like if a girl came up to art, all soft and smiley, and was like “hey, i think you’re really cute. would you maybe wanna hang out sometime..?” he’d freeze up a lil at first lol

i think his cheeks would flush and the shells of his ears would turn red, and he’d let out this kinda half-chuckle like he doesn’t really know how to handle this sort of situation. he’s used to having to turn people down, but it never gets easier. he’s bad at confrontation sometimes.

but oooh boy he’s loyal to you. to his very core!

so i think he’d smile sheepishly (that little half smirk he does) and then gesture with his hands a bunch as he talks, “ohh.. you’re really nice and everything, but i’m— i just have, like, you know, i’m— i’m with someone, i have a girlfriend, but you’re nice..! we’ve—her and i— we’ve been together for a while now, so.. hah.. hahah... i’m sorry though.”

like. just a gentle ‘no’ would have sufficed, but he overexplains himself because he’d never want to hurt someone’s feelings per se. however he wants to make it very clear that he’s not interested. at all.

he kinda just leaves the person on the other end of the rejection feeling weird and confused ! but at least he successfully turned them down, right ! ! ?

Whumpee who was shunned and treated badly by their team for something they didn't do gets kicked out by said team.

Months later, the team finds out the truth, and they look for Whumpee and find them happy and well.

The team goes to apologize for their actions, and asked them to come back, only for Whumpee to smile widely... so wide it creeps out even the stoic member of the team.

"Oh, if only you knew. I was a traitor, remember? Well..."

Behind them, an army of Whumper's henchmen and Whumper approached from behind. The team shouted at Whumpee to watch out, only to watch in terror as they approached the henchmen, and hugged Whumper.

"I'm with Whumper now," Whumpee said to the shocked team. "You hurt me deeply, shunned me, and kicked me out of the team I once called family. Whumper treated me a lot better than you guys had. If you wished for me to be a traitor, you got your wish!"

The henchmen surrounded the team, their weapons out and ready to kill anyone who dared to move.

"Take them to the cells," Whumper said with a grin. "Whumpee and I will have a little talk with them."

Despite the team's protests, they were captured and taken, all by their friend whom they hurt.

"Stillborn? No, no, still born." -- DPXDC AU

Based off a comment I saw where Bruce knew about Talia's pregnancy in the earlier comivs, and was ecstatic to be a father. So much so that Talia feared he'd give up being Batman for it, so when she gave birth she put the baby (Damian) on a doorstep and (seemingly) told Bruce that the baby was stillborn.

Instead of Damian, that baby was Danny! Meet Daniel Brown, the 14 year old foster kid whose been living with the Fenton family for the last two years. He's about two years older than Damian.

His last name, "Brown", was a generic surname given to him because the note he came with didn't have one on it. It just had the name "Danyal" on it, but albeit 'Daniel' was the one that had been put into the system for, I'll be totally frank here, racism reasons.

(I looked it up to make sure, and it's generally not permissible for foster parents to change the names of their foster kids even if it's a permanent residency, and for that reason Danny doesn't have the last name "Fenton".)

Danny's got ✨~issues!~✨ He's been through a handful of homes growing up, most of them terrible for a variety of reasons. Which has, as a result, left lasting scars. He's generally a very sweet kid, just very distrustful and jumpy. He's got the signs of a kid suffering from PTSD, and a handful of other issues including attachment and insomnia. His inferiority complex could rival Damian's, and that's going to make for an interesting mutual hatred for when they finally meet.

(something I'll get into later)

He still has the blanket he was found in. It's made of a very high quality material and is a beautiful emerald green with little golden thread accents, it's high quality as a result has Danny clinging onto a desperate hope that his bio family might be out there, and the only reason they gave him up was because of some outside factor. It's been taken a few times in old foster homes, and he's flipped out each time.

While he still calls Jack and Maddie by their names, he likes them well enough. The bar isn't that high though, and while they're some of the better foster parents he's had, "better" doesn't equal "safest". Their laboratory malpractice. Basically, C- Fenton Parents. They're negligent by virtue of being engrossed in their work, but they do care equally about Jazz and Danny. So he doesn't hold it against them that much.

He kinda prefers it that way, their loud affection is overwhelming and Danny doesn't know what to do with their attention, even if he craves it. It's a bit of a complicated situation.

They took in Danny because they genuinely wanted another child, but didn't want a big age gap between them and Jazz. It was actually Jack's idea to foster, and they discussed it with Jazz beforehand. She was all for the idea. Thus, a handful of weeks later, a ton of paperwork, and inspection later, and Daniel Brown entered their household with a trash bag in one hand and eyes like shards of stained glass.

His relationship with Jazz is kinda strained, but that's by virtue of her constant psychoanalyzing and helicoptering. Like with the parents, Danny's overwhelmed by the attention and also just, straight up doesn't like the fact that she's telling him that there's something wrong with him. He knows that, thank you. He pushes her away when she does this.

Other than that though? When Jazz isn't smothering him and is acting like an actual sibling and not a third parent, they're pretty close, and Danny really likes her. They've hung out a few times on their own volition, and Jazz showed him how to take better care of his long hair.

His school situation,, pretty similar to canon with the bullying, albeit with a few more instances of him blowing a fuse and lashing out against his attackers. He's a rather angry kid, but it's quiet. It builds up, piles on top of itself, until eventually, like a volcano, it erupts and burns everyone within radius.

Danny's got a fire core, not an ice core. Phantom's hair is made of white magma; thick and heavy, setting itself on fire when his anger runs hot. When he gets angry, his skin begins to char and split open to reveal pulsating lava underneath, and he crackles and pops like a raging forest fire.

I haven't decided yet on how he meets the batfam -- i've got two ideas but they're both in opposition to each other, and drastically alter how the rest of the plot goes. But I do know that him and Damian hate each other in the beginning. And it has nothing to do with inheritance or "being the blood son" -- although their blood relation absolutely plays the major role in their disdain for each other.

Simply put, they're jealous of each other for the same thing: thinking that the other was wanted.

Damian hates Danny because, unlike Damian, Bruce knew about Danny since conception and wanted him from the moment he heard about him. He had a whole nursery set up, and still does. He never took it down -- just locked the door. Damian was thrust upon Bruce without warning, and he feels like he forced himself into the family. And while on some level Damian knows and understands that Bruce wants him and loves him as much as his other children, that doubt and feeling of inferiority still remains. He looks at Danny and sees him with what Damian always feels he needs reaffirmed.

Meanwhile, Danny hates Damian because he looks at him and sees him with everything Danny's ever wanted. He hates him because Damian grew up knowing both of their parents, with one of them for most of his life, and then moved over to the other. There was never a moment where Damian was (seemingly) left to doubt his place within the family. Damian was raised with the very same woman who left Danny on a doorstep, with no clue to his identity beyond a little green blanket and a note with only a first name. Damian was wanted everywhere, and Danny was wanted nowhere. Damian is Danny's replacement in his eyes.

(It's the little revelation that Damian grew up with their mother that elevates Danny from being quietly envious of Damian to downright despising him. What did Damian do, that Danny didn't? He could live with Damian living with Bruce -- Bruce didn't know Danny was even alive. But him living with their mom? Are you fucking kidding him?)

Damian never outright attacks Danny physically, but it's not like he hides that he didn't like Danny. Meanwhile, Danny, in all his repressive anger, quietly despised him from a distance until finally one wrong snide side-comment has him blowing up and it becomes a screaming match. They're both just enough similar to each other that when they look at each other they really just see a mirror.

They'll work it out together, eventually. But it'll be ugly and cruel and explosive, and they'll start mending the bridge to become brothers in more than just blood relation in the end.

But yeah, stillborn Danny has... a lot going for him.

Arcana is so trans to me but not the mtf trans but like eldritch horror being realized that she likes to be perceived as a mortal woman

nonnie we are holding hands, we share the same vision, the same dream, the same eldritch transgenderism <3

there was a tweet recently (I think it was a tweet?) about a very specific type of character design--non sexualized, nude humanoids presented as otherwordly and entirely alien, off kilter, merging monstruous characteristics and that's exactly what I love and think about when it comes to the thing Arcana summons, the Guiding One's Creation

Arcana is so transgender to me in a very specific way of using the feminine figure as a way of both luring and keeping everyone at bay <33333

List of age gap prompts

“This isn’t going to work out.”

“Why can’t you just give us a chance?”

“You’re not that much older than me. We can— we can make this work.”

“You’re confusing me caring about you with me being in love with you, and vice versa.”

“The difference is too much.”

“Why can’t you just give me a chance?”

“I could treat you better than half of the people you’ve dated, [name], and you know that very well yourself.”

“Why can’t you admit that you’re in love with me, too?”

“You’re making things so fucking difficult. Over a number that isn’t even that significant.”

“You’re like a… Like a friend to me.” “That’s bullshit and you know it.”

“I hate that you’re rejecting me just because of this age difference thing.”

“People are going to think badly of you and me if we end up together. It’s our careers on the line, and I can’t do that to us.” 

“I’d throw away everything just to be with you—” “And that’s where our difference lies! I won’t do that, because I’m mature enough to know that isn’t gonna serve either of us well in the long run!”

“I care about you, but not in that way.”

“So you’d fuck me and do everything with me people in relationships would do with each other but you can’t admit that you’re in love with me? Just because I’m a little younger than you?” 

“This is a mistake.”

“Just give me this one night if you don’t want anything to do with me long-term.” (Or alternatively: “If you really can’t see a forever with me because of this, then just give me one night. That’s all I’m asking for. Please.”)

“I don’t care what other people think, I just wanna be with you.”

“Why does it matter what other people think of us?”

“What, so you’d date an immortal but you wouldn’t date someone who’s slightly younger than you?” “Nothing’s actually immortal, you dimwit.” 

“Why does a few years’ difference matter? It doesn’t erase the fact that we’re in love and could be so good together if you’d stop being so fucking stubborn about it. We’re both adults, and we both know what we want, but you’re acting like this is a crime or something.”

“I’ve made the same mistake as you. I dated someone noticeably older than me, and that did not end well. I don’t want to subject you to that; to the judgement you’d receive from other people.”
