DPXDC Idea: Mother of Monsters Dan(yal)

Specifically Fem!Dan because I made this in mind with my Fem Danyal Au bUT. The best part about Dan is that I get to play dress up with her, and Fem Dark Dany is gonna go by Layal (pronounced lae-el) because it means "the nights" and it sounds similar to Danyal, and I think she'd choose that name to mock Dany. ANYWAYS

Mother of Monsters Danyal. She may be evil but she's an Al Ghul at her core (even with vlad's soul merged with hers - however, considering that Layal looks and sounds like Dany, she considers that soul to be the more dominant one.) and loves animals. And she might be heartless, but she adores the monsters of the infinite realms.

Mother of Monsters Layal who hates everyone but utterly dotes and adores on every manner of beast she comes across. Stealing the eggs and infant young beasts of the Infinite Realms to raise as her own because she wanted them. Her own island full of monsters, a monstrous menagerie of her own. She steals most often from poachers or exotic pet keepers and other menageries -- the full grown beasties can keep their young.

And with every monster she raises, she can shapeshift their features onto herself, allowing her to change her shape from humanish to any matter of monster or hybrid creature. She calls herself their mother, and them her children. Her precious little babies, capable of incredible mass destruction and mayhem.

From little griffins the size of kittens, to stymphalian vulture chicks, and leviathan young hatching from eggs the size of her pinkie, to creatures native of the ghost zone that didn't even have names in the living realm. There really wasn't a limit to what or who she would take in and she didn't limit herself to any form of mythology. If they were beasts and they were unwanted, she wanted them. And as such, amassed her own mini army of "children" willing to listen to her any command.

Earth doesn't know what hit it when she attacks them.

There are many monstrous forms she could take on, the first one I've thought of is a combination of various serpentine/reptilian features. The body of a naga -- her lower half long and serpentine, her upper still human -- with spiked fins connecting from the bottom of her arms to her sides, ever seen Sinbad where Eris goes "you might have seen my likeness on the temple walls" and her arms do that fin thingy? Same concept. Her hands are webbed and taloned, perfect for slicing through the skin of the living, and her teeth are needle-sharp and shark like. Her hair can either be spiny and feathery-like like the spines of a lionfish, or frilled like a frilled-neck lizard. It's perfect for dealing and doting on her reptilian and amphibian-inclined darlings.

I'm more of a fan of aus where Dan is a sibling of Danny's rather than their kid, so Layal's redemption(..?? probation?) proceeds with her legally becoming Danyal's "twin" sister, who had been lost to the foster system before the Fentons adopted Dany, and was only recently reunited with her. The two of them look so alike that the lie is easy to take root and spread.

Layal is very indignant to the fact that she's now ten years in the past and has to restart her menagerie all over again. Do you know how much blood and sweat went into raising those children? How dare you separate them from their mummy. Although she'll admit she does miss their juvenile years, so she won't mind (too much) needing to raising them again. Dany is helping her retrieve all of them though, dammit.

long story short: epic the musical's "Scylla" has a CHOKEHOLD on me and this is the result of it

Unlike her Dan counterpart, Layal's voice is dancing and sirenic. It's purposely alluring and motherly, in order to lure people into a false sense of security until she feeds them to her "children." Echidna doesn't have shit on her. She almost seems friendly and reasonable, until you get too close and realize it was all an act and she drops it to metaphorically swallow you whole. She's like an anglerfish that way. She and Dany both sound like Scylla from Epic.

I talked about how in my AU in which they grew up with their birth moms, Klaus and Ben would have to take on multiple jobs in college.

And that got me thinking about them working in customer service jobs.

I think Klaus would looove to be a barista. Give him the outrageous customizations, he'll do them. Will he call them "pretentious asshole drinks" behind people's back? Of course. But he has fun and learns latte art.

Ben would absolutely fucking hate it, the pressure, the demands, the insults. He'd rather like to work at the library.

So, a little something for those of you that play The Sims 4....

I made Lamb, Narinder, Ewe, and even their three kiddos!!! I started this weeks ago but didn't want to post it until the polyamory update for the game came out. Needless to say, I'm very proud of how they all came out~

You should be able to find it easiest by searching my creator name (pictured above), and feel free to customize them to your liking! (Especially the clothes and hair cuz I don't have very many packs.. 😂) Also thank you to everyone for contributing your ideas for these goobers' surname; @the-spirited-one ended up suggesting the one I went with, so kudos to you! ✨

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy~! 😘

mom says it’s my turn on the writing

Based on a conversation I had with @silver-tooth-the-panther about my Alex design needing to preen their wings.

Alex felt, greasy, like they hadn’t showered in days. Technically they hadn’t, but this wasn’t their hair. They didn’t really know how their hair worked with the eyes and all that.

No, this was their wings,

They felt greasy and wrong, their new feathers rubbing against each other in an uncomfortable way. They had vaguely heard of birds needing to preen their wings, but they had literally no idea how to. Human-sized wings are not naturally occurring on any animals besides the veldigun (and the velidgun were hardly natural from what Clyde and Winfrey had told them) and Alex had no idea how birds preen their wings anyway.

Alex flopped over in vague defeat. This was going to be a long day.

—————————————

Alex understood why Clyde had been so reckless with its first break in.

They had crashed into the desk, falling though the window with the grace of a giraffe with broken legs. They closed the window behind them, and made their way through the library.

Honestly, they had never been more grateful that veldigun had night vision.

They couldn’t really go for the computers, they were to loud and the night guard would absolutely catch them if they tried to look anything up, so they just grabbed a couple books on pet care for birds and made their way back through the window.

They’d return the books later.

(They didn’t)

—————————————

Simon was, a bit concerned about Alex.

They had been watching the flock for nearly an hour now, completely still as the flock preened its goopy feathers. “Clyde” they whispered hoarsely “what are they doing?”

Clyde turned to the scarecrow, then to their partner, then back to Simon. “Oh their trying to learn to preen their feathers”

Simon turned to it in confusion “what?”

Clyde shrugged “well they got wings from their transformation, and they don’t know how to preen them. The Flock was the only velidgun with wings that we know of, so they’ve just been watching it”

Simon blinked a couple time “they could’ve just asked me?” Clyde stretched before leaning back on the side of the barn. “I didn’t expect you to pay that much attention to the flocks preening. Then again, it’s is your partner-“

“No that not what I-“ they sighed, and turned to Clyde “I have wings. I could’ve taught them if they asked.”

Clyde looked at them with utter confusion “you have wings?”

Simon looked at Clyde with a deadpan expression, before unfurling their own wings, lined with black feathers mirroring their partner’s.

“Since when have you had those?” Clyde asked, pointing dumbfounded the It’s fellow veldigun.

“Clyde, you need to talk to people”

@mudlarkspur 's Donnie and MI! Donnie would be so chaotic together (there would probably be explosions)

[marc--chilton]

(mgv) house and wilson display courting behaviors and don't even realize it. granted, courting in that sense is out of style and traditionalist so even if they did believe they were doing it, they'd wrinkle their noses (house especially). but like.... house buying them expensive tickets to a thing is an opportunity to grow closer, wilson letting his food get stolen isn't just a show of patience but proof he can be a good provider, etc etc. the amount of times they get mistaken for a couple in omegaverse is, in turn, much greater than it already is in canon

hey pro i have a preposition for you, a little off the plot train but here me out-

i work at a coffee shop and have access to 22 wonderful flavors and i want you to tell me a coffee concoction you would like me to try and i will make it and call it whatever you want. and drink it. the more absurd the better.

this is your chance to troll the ask people.

((ooc: mod i don't go back to work for six days but i guarantee that i will make this drink. if you go into my blog and search "coffee" in the tags you will find all the flavors you can choose from. i am dead serious.))

Leo: *keeps sacrificing himself and getting hurt*

His family: YOU'RE HURT!!!!!

Leo, seeing they're safe: Tis but a scratch! :)

(I cannot stop thinking of Leo brushing off his injuries like the black knight from Monty Python and the holy grail. He'd do anything for them and anything to assure them that all is fine even though that is not the case. He'll keep doing it, though. Mikey may be many doctors, but Leo is Dr. Hope.)

[ cw: injury mention / self sacrifice mention / ]

I keep missing asks I am so sorry 😭😭

YEAH I imagine Leo as like

The type who is super dramatic over the smallest of injuries, but if he’s actually hurt, it’s all “well what can you do lol” especially after the invasion because he’s already known much worse and barely even made a sound during that.

the to the point of distraction au is incredible and i have so many thoughts,,, is tatooine working on taking down any of the other hutt systems, and are maybe trying to like, seduce the jedi and the sith back to see who will help their anti-slavery quest??? is kitster like, making fun of anakin in the evenings while they watch their coruscanti day time holos together? is obi-wan gonna be the jealous one this time?

oooohoho good thoughts!! to address in order,

i think any new kingdom of tatooine is going to have to eventually take down the other hutt systems, but also they'll need to strengthen themselves first - which is probably why shmi is entertaining both the jedi and the sith right now for sure. if neither faction feels good to her, she'd be fine going alone, it'd just be quicker to allow one to help her.

kitster and anakin definitely get together at night and kitster drags anakin for filth over all the shit he's said or done with darth solence because it's genuinely hilarious. kitster's never really seen anakin like this with anyone. half the time he's mooning over solence and the other half he's trying to stab him with a knife. kitster was half afraid anakin would stab him with a knife during a banquet where darth solence had, apparently, remembered his mission and was showering kitster-who-is-pretending-to-be-prince-skywalker in attention and flirty asides

which brings me to the last point where honestly i think my understanding of anakin's character in general is that he's jealous. or greedy. or possessive, which is why it shows up in my works so much. i think he's irrationally jealous a lot which then sneaks into his narrative when i write things from his perspective. im sure people are sick and tired of this facet of my anakins, but honestly it's one of the things that, for me, make his character read as a version of anakin skywalker, despite the crazy situations i put him in. sorry!

at the same time i really don't see obi-wan kenobi's character having that same nugget of irrational jealousy or greed or possessiveness that i see anakin skywalker having and that's why a lot of my fics have elements of jealous anakin but not jealous obi-wan - jealous/possessive obi-wan is more au dependent than essential to the character for me

that all being said, for this au i do think obi-wan would be jealous or possessive - after all, he's Fallen! He's dark! he can allow his jealousy to run rampant! now...how many situations crop up where he can really be jealous or possessive? like it's not kitster the manservant that anyone's trying to seduce, it's the prince! obi-wan's kitster isn't in the line of fire, so to speak, so while i'm sure there are moments where obi-wan feels that sweet sweet green-eyed monster, the plotty identity shenanigans really thwart more openly jealous obi-wan here

Meet Sfarity! Fan kid of CD Sfarx & CD Oscuri! Funny story with this lil fella, he actually was just suppose to be like a mockup of CD Sfarx trying to clone himself but I liked the idea of CD Sfarx being petty as hell when he sees Sfarx's kid Osarx to try to create a kid of his own. Origins are different in EJ Reborn AU & Medic of Luna. Blue one is for EJ Reborn AU & Purple one is for Medic of Luna. EJ Reborn AU: CD Sfarx didn't like that he was out numbered so he goes searching for a clarity scanner the only problem is he couldn't find any of the stronger models such as the medium or large eye only the small one much to their dismay, CD Fark shortly comments of why his spawn is so tiny & CD Spark is weirded out by the facial features & color being so close to Clarity, in disappointment as CD Sfarx they name their kid Sfarity. They are both treated as villain of the week by the jesters, Osarx, & Oscuri, even Patchwork mocks Sfarity for being so weak due to the scanner not having a strong signal to get cloned off of. His only reason for being created in the first place was to fight/defeat Osarx but since hes very weak she is able to defeat Sfarity so easily. Doesn't really help that hes also very naïve plus runs away very often to add to CD Sfarx's disappointment. (CD Oscuri doesn't exist in this timeline)

Medic of Luna: His creation during CD Saga is from an idea CD Oscuri shares to CD Sfarx, as her loyal henchmen she suggests to use the Centralis scanner to make their own kid after having to flee the flower fields she spys on their counterparts finding out they have a child following them, scanning half of her self then CD Sfarx; Sfarity becomes a much deadlier force, having an axe like pincer stinger tail, color scheme, face markings, & red eyes like his father & mother. Shares the abilities to use poison as well as electricity, since CD Oscuri's data was copied, Sfarity moveset is a combo of knowing how to use ninja tricks as well as CD Sfarx's data with being able to shoot laser beams from his hands as well. He's alot more brutal when hes runs amuck on Luna enjoying the slaughter of innocents which makes things worse for Sfarx, Osarx, & Oscuri's reputations when they are traveling Luna trying to stop them from destroying it. He is able to get in Osarx's head saying how she is a mistake & that her parents don't really love her making Osarx question things during their encounters but he ultimately fails when he trys to isolate her in the simulation to try to finish her off her parents reach out to her to help her escape into the real world, causing the last fight to be at the Titanic Tower where they must prevent the combat datas from sending the orbital ring to lose gravity & crash into the earth, thinking they won the CDs warp into the simulation only to be greeted by a furious Patchwork, not being able to stand a chance & badly hurt CD Sfarx bites the bullet when Sfarity ends up being the voice of reason to try to make a truce with their counterparts for one last showdown to prevent Patchwork from becoming the new Centralis, waiting for them in the out of bounds arena. Both of them share some similarities but if they met each other The purple one would hate the blue one for not even trying to put up a fight against Osarx lol

(ASimpleArchivist here!😊Returning the askbox love! You may have answered a question about this before, and if so I apologize haha)

What was your main inspiration for Ark’s personality/background for TPIAG? I totally get you mentioning that he’s the character you kind of focused on bc I’m that way with Dusknoir—most of the plot for my fic has been centered and/or woven around him (as well as Grovyle, can’t forget my other beloved boy), so I wondered if you kind of “worked backwards” in that sense for Ark, too, if that makes sense? Like I plotted everything around giving Dusknoir the biggest emotional impact with the canon storyline in mind.

Also…who out of your cast would be the best cuddler that you personally would want to snuggle? My Grovyle would be my vote bc I headcanon him as a touch-starved cuddle bug looking for anything remotely warm so he can get some real rest not having to worry about looking over his shoulder all the time😊

Thanks for the ask! I haven't answered either of these anywhere yet, don't worry about it.

The main inspiration for Ark's personality was essentially this: the idea that people start out good people, and their experiences in life and their interpretations of those experiences can either solidify that goodness or warp and distort it— and that no matter how twisted you are compared to what you once were, even if you can’t remember a time before you were bent and broken, you can return to that goodness.

As much as I focused on Ark, the central point of the fanfic as I developed it was always Twig. I wanted everything I wrote at the time to reflect on her in some way. This was how Ark became Twig's narrative foil. They were designed to parallel each other. Ark was mistreated by someone he relied on and it made him very angry and bitter at the fact no one (as far as he knows) stood up for him. Twig was mistreated by someone she relied on and it made her very angry and bitter, but instead of being angry at the world like Ark, she became angry at herself. At different points in their individual recoveries, they briefly flip-flop— Twig finds herself angry at the world and Ark becomes angry at himself (though neither of them feel angry to the same extent as they did before starting the healing process, thankfully). They're narrative foils through and through.

Basically, Ark was designed to reflect on Twig as much as she reflects on him (and also to be a semi-self-insert, but that's the case with literally everyone in the TPiaG cast, right down to Team Skull. Ark’s not special that way).

As for my personal cuddling choice… uh… Hm. One of the traits of mine that Ark inherited is being the world's worst recipient of physical contact. Twig would probably be my preference because she has experience handling people clamming up when she gives them hugs, and pays attention to when they get overwhelmed? It'd be a coin toss as to whether I'd be freezing enough to enjoy this or my long-COVID fevers would kill me upon contact.

Babe wake up, it's time to post cringe (pos)

Pretty much a nonsensical AU because the thought of an Adult Guy supercomputer comparable to a God being forcibly adopted by a stone age dog and not being able to do shit about it cracks me up
