"No."
"--of how much...hold on, did you just say no already? You have no sense?"
"Not a lick of it. I mean look at me, it's 4:30 in the afternoon, and I've been drinking on the balcony since before noon. I'm still in my pajamas. And this is where I fully plan to remain as I allow my crippling self-doubt and depression to dictate the entire rest of my day."
"Mm, right, right...I'm doing the same thing, but I'm wearing my good heels to make myself feel pretty, so I think that makes me better."
"Rude. I did both of our hair this morning while you dozed in the chair, and I'm wearing silk. We are equals as we luxuriate in glamourous stagnancy, right now."

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.
#dpxdc#dp x dc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#dp x dc crossover#dpxdc crossover#dpdc#dpxdc prompt#this is just me torturing danny for a little bit because im stressed and i cried for an hour while i was driving so im taking it out on B#thanks for being my little stress ball danny#aha my old middle school habit of frankensteining two characters together is resurfacing again :) yall should've seen my wattpad drafts#in middle school. i had 50 of them and most of them were me combining two characters together to make one person and putting them in one au#my most memorable being skydoesminecraft and harry potter. THAT was a fun worldbuilding experience#do i think that growing up with the fentons would fix bruce/danny completely?? hurm. no. dont kid yallselves jazz is not a licensed#therapist not even at like. nine when she meets danny. she's not helping him through his trauma in the slightest. she's nagging.#she's his sister or sister-like figure before she's his therapist. would he be#*entirely* like canon bruce tho?? no. dannybruce is a mix of the both of them. but this is still the first post of the au and is more so#just me doing the equivalent of popping a stress ball so nothing is smoothed over. mostly im just trying to keep bruce's trauma prominent i#danny's character because he IS Bruce. i dont want him to just be 'danny with bruce's backstory but without any of the ugly bits'.#danny and bruce is used interchangeably because they're the same person but sorry if his personality feels imbalanced i came up with this o#the spot. was going to type more but the stress has left me. for now. watch ur back danny 👀

it's been three months and I still haven't processed the Bentley playing Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy at Crowley (when I'm not with you, think of you always) as he drove (I miss you) back (just take me back to yours, that will be fine) to Aziraphale (love you) with a really sincere apology in mind (say the word, your wish is my command). barely a few seconds of normal driving in central London, squeezed in a plot point of "oh shit, extreme sanctions" and their meetup. easy to overlook. unless? it's literally top 5 of Their Queen Love Songs. in any context other than the sheer panic Crowley was experiencing I would take this scene to my grave as peak romanticism, because we know Bentley is an extension of Crowley's mind, and it feels like it tries to comfort him in that moment? (everything's all right, just hold on tight) Recognizing the crushing, overwhelming, all-encompassing love that Crowley is feeling, and boiling it down to simply being suave and charming, casual, like he so often pretends to be (I learned my passion in the good old-fashioned school of loverboys).
it's just the stuff of fanfics, but given to you in the typical Neil Gaiman fashion of subverting expectations, while also allowing for, well, gently playing on your heartstrings. I love it, I love that we got that, bless
#bentley was so real for that#crowley#good omens#good omens s2#good omens 2#good omens analysis#aziraphale#ineffable husbands#crowley x aziraphale#aziracrow#good old fashioned lover boy#the demon's love for the angel is stored in 'our car'#crowley meta#the bentley#the bentley meta#good omens meta#queen#queen band#no really i can't believe neil put the equivalent of a fanfic Lovesick Crowley Hours#into a “holy fuck they're going to ERASE HIM FROM EXISTENCE if i dont do something” moment#*chefs kiss*

Whatever Atlus does next with Metaphor I hope they keep eugiefs. Absolutely top tier character design, my beloved tiny bat people with big eyes and even bigger ears.
#Also I find it so charming they're not fairy/elf/dwarf equivalents who do some specific magic/crafting job as a racial trait#No the ones we see are mostly farmers and shopkeepers#just little bat people with their yearly grain harvest#metaphor refantazio#my post

Thinking about Donald being jealous of Mickey assuming that he has it so easy and never struggles as everyone generally likes him and he usually succeeds... Not realizing how much work Mickey puts in to get where he is and how many emotions and stress he hides, because Mickey is absolutely terrified of failure and feels like he can't ever show weakness.
#mickey mouse#donald duck#Mickey is the equivalent of the kid who gets straight A's and appears to do it effortlessly#But it is because they're terrified of getting a B and everyone seeing them as a fraud and abandoning them#Of course Donald also works hard but feels like it doesn't pay off as much as it does for Mickey#And Mickey is never going to be honest about what he's really going through

just got the tavern story about who would make the best frog and you know. you know that olric would be the best frog. and you also know that he would would go up to march with his big ol' eyes, 100% believing in the possibility of being turned into a frog, and go, "would you love me as a frog, bro?" and of course march would say yes. and because he's a nerd, he'd add, "no one would build you a terrarium like i would. you deserve the best. even if you were a frog." and you can bet your ass the next time that olric is (accidentally) snooping in March's room there are blueprints for the sickest frog terrarium the likes of which you've never seen. because march doesn't do anything by halfs (especially when it comes to Olric).
#i am now headcanoning that the mistria equivalent of “would you love me as a worm” is (cont)#“would you love me as a frog”#now i kinda wanna draw this lol#listen i love these two so much they're such dorks#i'm holding them in my hands. i'm smooching them#i want to write about olric and march a ton. i love these brothers so much#march#olric#march fom#march fields of mistria#olric fom#olric fields of mistria#if you draw this please tag or at me i wanna see it#or write it whatever#if you do anything with this. gimme gimme gimme#thanks for coming to my tedtalk lol

since playing twilight princess again i cannot get behind the lu fandom characterization of twilight and wild i'm sorry. like i think twilight would be an overprotective big brother figure towards wild, absolutely. but wild doesn't take that sitting down. he doesn't like being coddled, and it's pretty clear (side note: i do really appreciate the analysis posts about wars and how hard he's been on wild potentially pushing wild closer and closer to a rather big memory. you can sort of see how twilight is not happy with how warriors is acting, but he's not saying anything right now. probably because it's not his place to, and also probably because wild wouldn't want him to right now).
i think that twilight and wild have a very different relationship to what most of the lu fandom thinks. they're close - that much is obvious from how they react when the other is hurt, and how twilight pushed through the rest to get to wild during the memories comic. but i think that a lot of the time, it feels like wild only exists around twilight, or he can't be left without twi otherwise he'll "do something stupid" or whatever. wild doesn't exactly appreciate twi's protectiveness or his advice all of the time, but he still looks up to twilight. despite whatever went down when they first met, wild worked to gain twi's trust in order for them to be so close. they're equals - just like the rest of the chain are equals. and yes, wild does a fair amount of dumb things and he's impulsive about it, but i would like to argue that twilight also does a fair amount of dumb things (in game and in comic)
(i think it also kinda feeds in to how wild is sort of infantilized by the fanbase. he's already not exactly trusted by the rest of the chain (legend especially, for some reason), and i think i'd like to explore that and how his relationship with legend formed. they seem to think he's sort of a loose cannon, especially after the previous arcs. wild hasn't seemed to realize it yet, but i do think something is coming, especially with him and warriors)
#linked universe#negative#its kind of why in my own half baked au i have the equivalents to those two kinda distant from each other#i mean they keep ending up in situations but they're not exactly close#(that and neither of them are super easy or quick to trust and roselia (botw/totk) never knew a wolf link)#i love their lu dynamic but i also think they should stand as their own characters yknow?#like twilight should be able to exist without wild present or being mentioned and vice versa#they both have a LOT of other interesting dynamics. i think twi's are more talked about honestly#they're all pretty close at this point with some exceptions. wild and warriors being one of them#(i also think that wild and time is another - my boy doesn't seem to do so well with authority)#anyways this isn't meant to take a dump on anyone's headcanons. mine just tend to be uh.... pretty different from the rest of you all#i've just been thinking about this and wild gets a LOT of heat from the fanbase for doing 'stupid' things#wild and hyrule i think get the most shit for it#(which i love their relationship too. they're very like-minded and spirited in a way the others don't fully understand)#(which makes sense considering that botw was heavily inspired by zelda 1)#(and early concept work for botw included a loz1 style demo? i think???)#anyways#delete later#<- maybe if this post gets the wrong sort of attention

and the fucking mage circles of Dragon Age are a thing so convoluted, Gaider must've given himself hernia when he gave up with that idea.
Listen. Containing even regular, unarmed people who aren't locked in cells and can roam the place, and who outnumber you, is difficult. Especially when all you have is blades whilst your wards have innate weapon, magic, that can cook you to death on the spot long before you even see where your magical assailant even is.
The mage never even has to enter a templar's anti-magic radius. More than that, the templar has to first deploy the anti-magic radius. And idk why people are acting like when you nullify a mage's magic, they become helpless. What the hell is stopping a bunch of muted mages from mobbing each templar? Sure, there would be injuries. But like Spartacus gave a fuck. Spartacus had a goal, and by gods was he going to do what he had to do or die trying.
'b b but brainwashing and social engineering...' Mate. If that shit ever worked, every religious millionaire would be a poor man by will. As it stands, 'you can say 'money bad, millionaires bad' all you want to them, but the fact is, when you have the power that wealth offers you, there is no reason to give it away. You might even acknowledge that you're a monster, that money makes you a bad person, but in the end it just doesn't matter, you are not really beholden to the same social rules as a pauper, because you can simply buy and intimidate your way out of it all.
Bioware here really trying to make me believe that a guy who can instakill a person by simply thinking really hard wouldn't find ways to hoard lyrium until he has enough to leisurely walk through a mage tower, burning templars to death before they can even get anywhere close to magic canceling radius.
People with power and resource always rise to the top. Always. Tevinter is what realistically happens when you have a society of haves (mages) and have-nots (everybody else). History shows that the have-nots almost never rise up against the haves, at least not successfully, and before anybody brings up the French revolution... who the fuck do you think its leaders were? Who the fuck do you think funded it? Who the fuck do you think the revolution benefited the most, before it all went off the rails, as things tend to do, when you, again, give a monkey a stick and the monkey realises what he can really do with it?
God i fucking hate the dragon age oppressed mages and the stupid ass circles. I just hate it. Most blatant display of writers having been bullied nerdy kids in the past and trying to cope by acting like they only got bullied because they were too cool, because acknowledging the truth would mean realising that their pain was meaningless, and it was caused simply for shits and giggles. Having to admit that you had no power, you just had to sit there and take it, because you had no stick. You want you want your past hurt to have meaning, so you write a dumbass mage circle. Big shrug. Sure. You can do that. You can also shit your pants if you want, I ain't stopping ya. But I don't have to smell it and like it.
#I don't think i can empathically even express how fucking much mages oppressed by mundanes trope annoys me#Mages oppressed by mundanes is like the real life equivalent of straight people thinking they're oppressed by the gays#So very desperwtely wanting to be both powerful but also oppressed#Why lol#Do you think you're too boring when you don't have much pain and suffering in your life or...

I'm of the opinion that Zestial and Carmilla had and have wildly different opinions on Alastor, though Zestial's opinion probably didn't shift all too much overtime.
Now Carmilla is just a bit annoyed at the drama queen that is Alastor, but I do believe that she was concerned at the beginning of his appearance. Like dude just took out half her meeting room of overlords in a matter of weeks, that ain't fitting into her statistics. She likes control, she likes knowing what will happen and planning for it.
So, she probably met with Zestial to discuss this in a 'is this a normal problem or something we need to do something about'-way only to be met with a 'funniest thing to have happened in three centuries' banner.
#what's that behind your back?#naught you need be concerned about#*has his spiders hide celebratory cake that has the same words as the banners on it#hazbin hotel#Carmilla Carmine#Zestial#Alastor#I think Zestial genuinely likes Al in a way you could like a pet you'd seen videos of#playing along flattering him it's just fun to Zes#meanwhile Carmilla is like there is not enough space in my life for more attention seekers get out#zestmilla#because I need you to know that they're doing whatever their equivalent of dating is during this time#Zestial being like 'he's just a little guy'

I hate myself bc i will look at Doflamingo being a sentient waste bucket, live on camera, committing horrible atrocities and being yucky.
But then i see that one panel of them eating a big pizza together like a found cult family and i'll be like
"<:O..! ohmahghad he does care.. waow <:)"
#donquixote doflamingo#donquixote family#do i think doffy and his family has some form of love for each other?#No..Well kinda..It's debatable..Love is not the right word#they're the family equivalent of sniffing gasoline#it's mega toxic and some of them would murder each other for a nickel#but i love that#AWFUL people

Last Window if it was awesome
#They're best friends your honour#you'd think it would be a bit awkward if your old best friend killed your new friend's best friend#but fortunately for Kyle his friend is Louis Denonno#the human equivalent of a medium sized dog#hotel dusk#kyle hyde#louis denonno#tony wolf#last window#I actually do like Tony#I've not played Last Window but I've seen a playthrough#and Tony was my favourite character#but Louis would hate him#Tony always struck me as more malicious. Which is probably an unfair judgement since he's going through his character arc in last window#but he's definitely more violent#Tony has a history of aggravated assault. Louis has a history of picking pockets and being a bit stupid. he's a good boy at heart#I made all 3 of them in the Sims and Tony stole Kyle's vinyls so. I'm just saying Louie would never do that.#but yeah if anyone has fun little Last Window If It Was Better ideas I want to hear them. Housemate shenanigans my favourite.

behold: the ultimate sketchy yin art antics. now featuring the scoundrel's final form (a bat having an existential crisis)
#i'll need to polish these and make a non-sketchy ref at some point but for now this gets all the vital information across#the vital information that they are FLUFFY#yin art#fallen london#fallen london spoilers#i still cant draw animals very well but these came out cute nonetheless#now whenever the scoundrel does literally anything you can hit em with the comeback of 'you are literally aspiring to become a fluffball'#gets em every time.#i like to think they're tiny. roughly spices-size. maybe somehow smaller#both because the species they're based on is a microbat and because their growth is horribly stunted#it's like. the curator equivalent of a plant that hasnt gotten enough sunlight. literally#it's comparatively tiny and diminished. it's a space creature forced into a cave for all of its life as said space creature#it got a rough deal and it refuses to acknowledge that it WAS a rough deal. but it remains rough nonetheless.#it has four eyes and gold-laced horns and wings that look like the night sky with violant stars. what more does it need.#happiness??? being free of guilt???? company?????? preposterous. it's fine. it's fineeeee.#this concludes the habitual rambling in the tags i always seem to do lol#scoundrelventures
