#this au is my new favorite thing

[ominouspuff]

Continuing this fix-it AU where Commander Fox springboards off the deep end into a full-on rebellion, featuring unlikely allies belatedly finding out they are allies far too late to stop being allies but then again it’s never too late not to throw a terrifyingly destructive fit about it (Maul)

Close-up’s under the cut

Hey, I would appreciate it if you reblog this post! I try my hardest for this AU fic, so reblogging it and being able to share it goes a long way!

So it's implied that occasionally Color and Killer save AUs at some point, yes? Or something of that nature, maybe alongside the Abyss Team or Epic and Delta.

But imagine Killer doesn't give a fuck about that at first, and while he would offer an assist if Color ever asked for it, his heart isn't really in it as much as he wishes it was. He has no faith in himself as anything close to a hero or even a decent person. He'd much rather sit in their house and rot away like Dust wanted to in his timeline.

However, it would be a hilarious immediate switch in tone and motivation if there were animals directly involved in these missions, and this progress could happen at the same time Killer is getting used to the Abyss Team, Epic, and Delta. I imagine that aside from Color, he warms up to Epic the quickest cause that guy is the most laid back of them all despite the tricks he pulls on him at night (callback to Epic's gaslighting as payback for Delta getting bullied).

Killer could outright refuse to accompany them on a rescue mission and while Color accepts that no problem, Epic's like "but bruh, they got kitties over there!" And Killer would turn around so fucking fast and lean back into the doorway like "...they do?"

"Yeah, bruh! They got a cat island in this universe, they're everywhere!"

Killer changes his mind like the flip of a switch and follows Color out, and Delta looks at Epic, annoyed beyond reason.

"How come he takes that from you and not me?"

"Dunno bruh... I gave him cheetos once?"

Yeah, in the comic where Killer confronts Nightmare he mentions helping AUs behind Nightmare’s back, and in a drawing or ask where someone asked Rahafwabas to draw something, she drew killer (in Stage 1) telling color a pun giving him a finger gun after they just got done “fighting some bad guys.” (Color was so done with Killer’s shit in the picture bro 🙏 💀)

Now I’m imagining Killer’s head on a swivel and turning so fast at the mention of a cat island there’s a loud crack and Color’s deeply concerned that something snapped 😔.

I thought to make my first Bleach post back one commemorating the third cour, but, nah, I’ve decided I wanna spend more time on that, so it’ll be after my art break instead. It seems I can’t stay active on Tumblr through a full cour… First two, I’m initially inactive. This one, I become inactive, like, halfway in… I swear, if this happens next cour… It’s my last chance 🫠

Anywho, have some Bleach sketches I did first—I’ll post digital ones sometime soon (Would like to work on them a bit more). You can tell, but I was definitely in a mood, haha.

But yeah, sneak peek at my Bleach Kingdom AU! Because ofc I’d have at least one—if I stay in a fandom long enough, one’s bound, eheh—but, in fact, Bleach started them off way back when, haha. I suppose I’ll talk more about that when I finally properly make a post about this one.

I didn’t think it’d take so long to post about it… but I have yet to finalize any of the art… They’re, like, my oldest IchiHime sketches at this point, eheh ^^;;;

more about og tue timeline twins danny and dan/jamie

very touchy with each other. you might even say. ccclingy. its to be expected, they're two halves of a whole after all and all they've got of each other. worryingly co-dependent. do not separate. ever.

Danny was really weak and sick after the initial separation, and was for a while after. Jamie knew internally that if Danny died, he'd take the whole world with it. He was the one sole caretaker for him while he got better -- not for lack of trying on Vlad's part, but without his ghost powers he was nothing more than a feeble (albeit handsomely rich) man, and James looked ready to bite his head off if he got within ten feet of either of them.

Vlad is intimately aware that James (or Danny, if he tried) could snap his spine in half like a twig, and is uncomfortably aware of his own lack of ghost half now. It makes him feel self-conscious and exposed, so he never fully returns back to "cocky and self-assured billionaire Vlad Masters". Making deals with other brands feels a lot harder now that he can no longer possess them anymore.

Speaking of, he very quickly has to come up with a cover story as to why there's now a James Daniel Fenton to the public, when no records whatsoever of him existing existed prior. Lots of forging false government documents on his end. James and Danny do not help because it's his fault this happened in the first place.

(Regardless of whether or not Danny actually willingly chose to rip out his ghost half/humanity in canon is true, or if that was Vlad Masters speaking out of his ass, a large part of the blame still falls on Masters.)

(As his primary caretaker and guardian, it's his responsibility to ensure the health and safety of his charge, and since Danny was in clear emotional duress at the time, it can be argued that he was not in the mental state to make such a decision. And, allegedly, couldn't do it on his own which is why he asked Vlad for help.)

I chose "James" as Dan's name since it's a popular fanon middle name for Danny, and since he's half of Danny, it felt like it just made sense lol. Also because of the ensuing comedy of the two of them introducing themselves as "James Daniel Fenton" and "Daniel James Fenton". It's got the same energy as "danny with a y" and "danny with an i" and it's the exact kind of name bullshit you expect parents to give their twins.

I don't have their exact personalities down, but something I am actively writing into this au's bible is that I think Danny should be the quiet and (ig technically) meaner one. There's a lot to go into about interpretations for ghosts, halfas, and the incident itself, but TL:DW; Danny is technically soulless, or at the very least missing half of his soul (altho Jamie is too just in a different direction).

Pair that with the trauma of losing his family in front of him + having his ghost half ripped out + all the trauma he would've sustained as a hero, and he's not doing too hot mentally! i think if the twins met good timeline!Danny, Danny would've mistaken Danny for Dan and Jamie for the original half.

He comes off to others as pretty apathetic and indifferent to a borderline terrifyingly calm degree. He doesn't go out of his way to insult people, but he also doesn't care enough to consider the other party's feelings so he doesn't filter himself, which makes him come off as rude. The only times he looks truly comfortable is when he's near Jamie or talking to him.

His standoffish, ice prince demeanor makes Jamie look like a saint in comparison. When really he's not all that much better? He's more outwardly emotional than Danny, whether that be positive or negative, but at the end of the day he doesn't trust or care about anyone else any more than Danny does, and he's got a bit of a sadistic streak. Danny reigns him in when he starts becoming too destructive.

(Which I think makes sense. Danny asked Vlad to rip out his ghost half specifically so he could stop feeling his human emotions. Dan, despite his monotone voice, does exhibit emotions. He's smug when he asks Valerie if he likes his ghostly wail, sardonic when he reunites with Sam and Tucker, annoyed, shocked at Danny's ghostly wail, etc. He enjoys wreaking destruction and chaos.)

(If Danny had survived his encounter with Dan and if Vlad was successful, then I imagine he'd be rather apathetic to his other half as a whole. That'd be interesting.)

Overall though they're both hurt, bitter, and distrustful of the world around them, with abandonment issues a mile wide. They can get better and they can heal, but it takes time and patience and proper support.

On the DPxDC side of things, they do genuinely hold some kind of respect or regard for Bruce. They also don't become vigilantes for a while. Neither of them are jumping at the bit to enter heroism again, not when it was heroism that killed their family in the first place.

In fact when they find out Bruce = Batman they think he's foolish for it. They think its a fool's errand, and they've been so spurned by their time as Phantom that for a few weeks, Jamie even refused to call Bruce anything but Sisyphus. Danny called him Tantalus, and the two of them had a faux-argument about which one was more accurate.

Bruce does, though, worm his way into both of their hearts, and that's like, the main reason they become vigilantes to join him. So that they could keep him safe and not because of any desire to return to the heroic life. Relearning to care and finding satisfaction in helping others was an unintentional side effect.

(Bruce is so very smug)

Essentially:

The Twins: this is our squishy and fragile adoptive father. If anything happened to him, we're becoming mass extinction events.

Bruce: Nnno.

I could like go into the whole fucking rollercoaster of a relationship I’ve written for em in my head but the world isn’t ready for that so uh you just get a silli lil digital painting I did of them getting one of those cheesy kinds of family photos. You know, the kind where everyone’s in sweaters for some reason and they slap that photo on a Christmas card? Yea those ones. God… I love my middle-aged man yaoi…

Batman!Alfred and Robin!Bruce au (Short story? Fic idea? Idk)

Alfred also witnessed Thomas and Martha's murder for plot reasons and assigns himself as not only Bruce's protector but all of Gothams protector. He doesn't want any more children to ever lose their parents again.

At first, he does it alone, slipping out of the manor every night almost obsessively patrolling. When Bruce stars noticing, the little 8 year old boy is incredibly upset that his only remaining family is risking his life, yelling and crying about "How dare you! I need you!" He only calms down when Alfred agrees to let him come along and help.

Bruce: Why am I traffic light colored?

Alfred, adjusting Bruce's domino mask: So I can see you in the dark, young master.

Bruce, tugging at the sleeves: Whatever... (secretly happy that Alfred cares enough to think about something like that)

Bruce is initially incredibly clumsy and struggles to keep up with Alfred, not exactly graceful. But he learns fast. He's a very aggressive Robin, preferring brass knuckles. He builds up a reputation as being the "scary bird kid" who yells at any thug he sees and beats them to a pulp. They can all tell he's a kid with problems, but they never comment on it because they like having their teeth.

Alfred is a *terrifying* Batman. He's got insane military training, pure skill, ect. Things normal butlers don't have. The Wayne family had its reasons to hire him, of course, and he's 100% going to prove his worth. A lot of his Batman reasoning is that he feels like he failed the Waynes, and that he failed Bruce specifically. He cares deeply about the boy, seeing him like his own son/godson. He refuses to allow other kids to suffer the same fate as Bruce, very 'protect the innocent' focused. He's violent against those who deserve it, but goes out of his way to be gentle with the victims of crimes.

Little Girl, who just survived a villian attack: *sobbing her eyes out*

Bat!Alfred: Are you okay, little one?

Little Girl, sniffling and shying away from the big scary masked man: M-my mommy... I can't find my mommy...

Bat!Alfred, crouching and offering his hand: I can help you. What's your mothers name? We can find her together.

Is Bruce a little jealous that his butler/dad is being nice to other kids? Yes. Will he deal with it normally? No. He just beats up more thugs.
