#vlad eventually also gets an invite

[redhoneysugarorange]

I'd love to see Vlad and Danny both get summoned, just stare at each other, then start bickering and ignoring everyone around them.

Danny: Oh it's the fruit loop, get any of those feathers out of your head or are you still a bird brain?

Vlad: Horrible Nephew of mine, oh how wonderful it is to see you. No my feathers are just fine, they grew back well, unlike your awful gross scales. How does it feel? To burn?

Danny: how would you like to feel your flames flicker out old man.

Vlad: *sputtering* I am NOT old! Insolent child, I will drag you across the coals.

Danny: iNsOlEnT cHiLd blah blah blah blah blah you're so boring, perhaps a trip to the far frozen would do well to make you cooler.

Vlad: I will break you child.

Danny: oh noooo, scawyyyy, this is me, petrified rn. Im shaking in my boots.

Justice League, watching as these two powerful diety-like beings squabble amongst themselves: Should we.... Stop them?

*Danny and Vlad increase in volume, and the temperature starts fluctuating*

Justice League: Okay yes we need to stop them.

Batman, walking towards the two, channeling his inner Alfred and hoping it works: That is enough you two.

*Danny and Vlad both stop, and stare down at the brave human getting between them*

Vlad: Bringer of Packers Tickets, this is NONE of your business.

Danny: Yeah weirdo, scram this is our fight.

Batman sighs, and from seemingly out of nowhere pulls out a covered silver platter and a bulging bag.

Danny and Vlad:....

Batman: Danny if you stop fighting I will give you this *opens the top to reveal another one of Alfred's meals, this time a pasta dish with several pieces og garlic bread*

Danny: Holy shit is that the old man's cooking?

Vlad: Old ma- what old man? Daniel how do you know these people?

Danny: I broke his fountain.

Vlad: Ah, that explains nothing, I see your lessons with Pandora have yet to improve your language skills. And I'm not about to yield to a tiny and insignificant morta-

Batman: And for you, twelve different signed Packers Helmets.

Vlad:.....

Vlad: I see, we shall continue this fight later.

Suddenly, Vlad is surrounded by his flames and standing there is a man with large flaming black wings. Batman only blinks before handing over the bag to the now gleeful man, looking at the helmets like treasures.

Danny huffs at the showiness of his uncle, and is soon surrounded in light, simply transforming info his humanoid form.

---

Constantine:.... I didn't know they could do that... Huh.

Tim: Yeah he's hot right?

Constantine: Yes, the feathers are bloody hot, but I'm sure there's a work around.

Tim:.... I was talking about the dragon.

Constantine and Tim, staring at each other: ....

*Nod of understanding*

---

While the Justice League are huddled together making a game plan, Danny and Vlad get busy.

Danny blows a raspberry at Vlad and starts chowing down on his spaghetti dish, while Vlad hands his new helmets to the vulture servants one by one, growling threats to take extreme care. Vlad takes a second to look over and walks over to see what his Nephew would stop a fight over.

Vlad: A simple pasta dish, really?

Danny, with a mouth full: dwon't knoik it tuill yew *Danny swallows* try it. Honestly, the old man's food is the best I've ever had. Though tbh, I don't really have much to go off of.

Vlad: Well yes, I can see why, your father certainly is a disgrace in the kitchen

Danny: Not like mom is any better

Vlad: *Clutching the Packer's helmets close* Maddie can do no wrong.

Danny: *Rolling his eyes* yeah sure, anyway so you want some.

Vlad: I suppose.

*Danny makes another fork out of ice, much to the Phoenix's irritation, before letting the man scoop up some of the pasta and grumpily chew.

Vlad:.... Ah, I see, I can understand. May I have some of that garlic bread?

Danny: sure, but just one piece

Vlad: that's hardly fair, you have seven other pieces!

Danny: This was my bribe, you have your packers helmets, feel grateful I'm even giving you one.

*Vlad grumpily takes the bread, sitting down next to his nephew and grumbling curses under his breath*

Danny: Oh that reminds me! Hey, man of Bats? Batman?

Batman: Yes?

*Danny grabs and pulls off one of the scales from his shoulder* this is for the old man?

Batman: I'm sure agent A would appreciate it...

Danny: It is for that swear jar of his, it slipped my mind that I needed to add to it.

The Justice League: ???

Constantine: Did that dragon just give up a bloody scale? For a human? Simple as that? Not even a blood payment or anything?

------

Tim, off to the side, muttering: Okay, his mother's name is Maddie. Still not sure how this Phoenix guy and Danny are related though. His scales are some sort of magic power source? Possible, further testing needed. Has ice powers, but seems to be capable of much more. Has pretty white fur (and in his human form, hair) that perhaps also has power? Hmmm

Jason: Dude why are you so obsessed with this?

Tim: ummm to get to know the dragon better reconnaissance and failsafe planning?

Jason: Yeah sure buddy.

There was a dragon in their fountain.

A giant eastern dragon in their fountain.

Most of its body is in the fountain, but a good portion of it is just resting on the ground.

Were they supposed to just, leave it there or make it shoo.

Tim didn't know, neither did Dick.

It was beautiful, scales a glowing white and a mane that looked incredibly soft, even from where they were standing.

Again, there was a dragon in their fountain. A beautiful dragon, but a dragon nonetheless.

Alfred, the unconcerned, professional, most unphased man, just, walked over to it, give it sass for growling at him, and then asked if it would like to soak in the pool instead.

And the damn thing agreed to it too.

--

Danny fucking hated the aftermath of his fights with Vlad, sure, the phoenix never tried to actually kill him or anything, but the heat just does not do it for him.

At least the fucker himself is gonna be uncomfortable from the cold.

Danny just wanted to navigate to the Far Frozen to recover from the heat, alright. Of course it would be too much to ask, because next them he knew he ran into a portal and plopped down onto some rich person's lawn.

And then took over said rich person's fountain, it was big enough for a good amount of his body at least, so he just went why the fuck not.

Then some butler came over to him, gave him of all people fucking sass, and asked him if he wanted to soak in the pool instead.

So of course, he got to the moving to said pool.

[caffeinatedvigilantewriter]

This is a mashup of various tropes. Don’t like don’t read. May include

- deaged danny

- Damian x Dani (serious chaos)

- dead Jazz

- dead Sam

- dead Tucker

- not-shit parent Vlad (kinda)

- the Waynes have a strength kink

So when Danny is 18 and have safely moved out, has financial security and can go no contact with his parents he decides to tell him that he’s Phantom.

It doesn’t go well.

By the time Jazz Sam and Tucker find him he is deaged to around 6. The fentonworks lab explodes.

Dani, who is 16 and was on her way to visit, came just in time to sift through the rubble and find Danny, who has only had enough memory to recognize her as his sister. She also finds three dead bodies. Jack and Maddie survived.

Scared and mourning, she takes Danny and runs to Vlad, who realizes how terrible and obsessed Jack and Maddie were and gives Dani lots of money to hide somewhere where the Jack and Maddie wouldn’t dare to look- at least not for a little while.

Gotham.

So she takes Danny and changes their names.

Elliot ‘Elle’ Jasmine Nightingale and Daniel James Nightingale, brothers and sister duo.

Dani- now Elle- still holds a grudge on Vlad, coupled with the Fenton stubbornness, she insists that she can pay rent/bills/groceries/etc. she gets an apartment in crime alley.

Because Elle doesn’t want to leave a paper trail, she does a less-than-legal job.

She joins a fight rink under the name of Phantasm.

And she’s great at it.

Shes spend the money on education for Danny, ignoring her education for the moment until Danny is old enough to join school.

Damian and Bruce were having major arguments, mostly about his violence and Damian quits being Robin and becomes Nocturne. (Bc I love that name)

He undercover a fight rink and thinks if he busts the rink Bruce will trust him enough.

He does recon and quickly realizes that one of the fighters was incredible, winning fight after fight without causing major injures to her opponents. Her name was Phantasm.

He decides that in order to find out more about her, he has to join undercover. It was only to take down the fight rink and learn more about the beautiful fighter that could bend him in half and nothing more.

Damian joins under the name of Ghoul and swipes some DNA from Elle, learns her (fake) name her (fake) backstory (family died in an heated lab explosion) but doesn’t understand why a chunk of her DNA was unreadable (ghost part of her DNA)

After a bit of digging, realized she didn’t attend school and the next morning Elle waked up to a letter starting that her full-ride scholarship to Gotham Academy has be approved (GA offers a afterschool care for students with younger siblings)

Elle never applied and is confused but accepts after Vlad, Ember, and Kitty convinced her.

She coincidentally is put in the most of the same classes as Damian, who she eventually crushes on befriends because he’s hot she’s suspicious of his faint and funky ecto signature.

So shenanigans include (not in this order and are optional)

- GALA where Vald announces her as Vlad Co heiress and the are invited to the gala and get a bit sus of Elle bc Vlad is sus

- JASON AS ELLE’S NEIGHBOR is actively trying to set up/prevent Damian and Elle getting together (either one works, as long as the plans fail comically)

- PRINCESS ELLE OF YHE INFINITE RELAMS + SUMMONING

- TALIA ATTEMPTING TO KIDNAP DANNY because he looked like Bruce/she wants another son and Elle absolutely beating her 7 different ways to Sunday and Talia telling Damian that she approves of her

- ELLE DESTABILIZING/GETTING REALLY SICK and Danny calls Damian in a panic because he knows Elle trusts him even if she won’t admit it

- ELLE GETS SAVED BY NOCTURNE and Elle instantly clocks him as Damian bc of his ecto signature and rips him a new one because look how vigilantism turned out for Danny

- THE BATFAM THINKING DANNY IS THE CLONE OF ELLE and investigating Cadmus, who could have ties to the GIW somehow

- ELLE BECOMING A SORT OF SERIAL KILLER to protect Danny (check the comments @emerald-fox-93 linked it :)))

- DASH BECOMING A GCPD COP AND HAVING TO ARREST ELLE because she killed someone who tried to kidnap Danny. Damian picks her up from the station after she calls him.

- PAULINA BECAME A LAYWER FOR WE bc I saw a post like that and it was fire. She eventually fights for the removal of the AEA (anti ecto acts)

- THE OTHER BATS GENUINELY BECOMING CONCERNED and began to think that Elle is mind-controlling Damian because he keeps brushing them off to hang out with her

- DAN JOINING THE JLA and calling up Elle when he needs her help and Damian being there and being like ‘wtf??’

Jack and Maddie eventually find Danny and Elle and Elle vanishes. Danny- who Elle hid when the Fentons stormed the apartment- calls Damian sobbing and pleading for him to find Elle because the bad people are going to hurt her.

Damian, knowing little to nothing about her situation, basically goes ballistic trying to find her. The family, titans, and the League gets involved because one 15 year old doesn’t realize he has a massive crush on his classmate. He calls up that every favors he is owed (and some that is not) so now basically almost the entire LOA is after a 15 year old girl who was kidnapped by the two mad scientists who are committing around 16 wars crimes.

They find her after the ghosts she’s Still in contact with realize she hasn’t texted in a while and they’ll help Damian on his manhunt

And because Elle is the high princess, the entire ghost zone is ready to help Damian get their princess/queen/regent back

Jack and Maddie never stood a chance.

Any more ideas?? Please tag me and comment 🙏 :))

OK, I know I’m more well known for my Batfam stories but I was struck by a thought

Yandere Class 1-A and Yandere Class 1-B with a neglected and oblivious reader

Your quirk isn’t the most outwardly useful and you aren’t a giant fighter, so you tend to get overlooked a lot. (You are also probably the youngest in the class.) You try to make friends with your classmates and try to get your teacher’s praise, but a lot of of the time you feel pushed aside and forgotten. Some of the class seems to treat you like an afterthought while others treat you like you can’t do anything right.

Then, Kendo would find you training in the gym while crying because everyone in class forgot it was your birthday, even though you reminded them several times and they remembered each other‘s birthdays. You are just really sad, but you’re trying to get better because you think if you get better, they will pay attention to you. 

Kendo definitely comforts you and takes you out for ice cream. She swaps numbers and invites you to join Class 1-B on a shopping trip the next day. You integrate into the class pretty easily after that, the only roadblock probably being Monoma, but I feel like he would switch from “You are in Class 1-A and are scum” to “Your class is scum and you should be in 1-B” pretty quickly.(the entire class will see you as a little kid, so you probably aren’t going to be trained that well, but it’s better than being an outsider)

You also are withdrawing yourself from all of your classmates now that you have friends. You don’t do any of the little things that you used to. You aren’t offering homework help or hiding snacks in people’s desks when they are upset. Everyone is noticing the difference, but they can’t figure out what caused the change in the mood.(None of them really noticed you doing these things.)

Then, I think Vlad would approach Aizawa and mention possibly transferring you. Aizawa would definitely brush it off, but when he focuses on your presence, he realizes that you were the one doing all of those good things and that you’ve stopped. His final straw would be when he realizes that you were the one who was leaving coffee on his desk every morning before class and sees you hand Vlad a pastry from the same coffee shop. 

That adds Yan! Aizawa into the ring.

Class 1-A takes a little longer, but I think they would slowly notice overtime in groups of two or three that you weren’t around as much and would see you out with members of class 1-B.

The breaking point is definitely when you submit paperwork to switch classes. This causes a giant uproar that you did not see coming, with both the students and the teachers being at each other’s throats. Nezu eventually makes an agreement that you will stay in 1-A until the end of the next semester and after that, if you still want to transfer, you will go to 1-B.

Your class is taken that as a challenge to change your mind, thus leading to the Cold War between the classes. You are oblivious to this are just happy you have friends, so they are nice to each other’s faces when you are around. Make no mistake, they’re at each other‘s throats the minute you turn away.

Danny Phantom in YJ but its ALL of team phantom

so this idea assumes DP is set in the DC verse and Danny's identity is revealed to the town during Reign Storm. His parents accept him like in the series finale, and the town, grateful for being saved from Pariah Dark, has an unspoken rule not to sell out Danny's secret identity to outsiders (mainly the GIW).

All the Amity Park vigilantes are working together at this point, but the public dosent really know it. Now that they're no longer hunting their son's alter ego the Fenton parents continue doing their thing, but now they make gear specifically for their ghost son to use without it backfiring on him (mostly). Jazz gets some of the ghosts to do interviews and eventually branches out into ghost psychology, something that her parents had neglected to study before now.

Danny, Sam, and Tucker continue ghost wrangling, but the supervision of the Fentons proves to be surprisingly helpful and the trio finds that they have more time to pursue other things (space, eco-witchcraft, and tech respectively). Tucker and Sam's parents are on the fence about their friendship with Danny. Angela and Maurice Foley are talked down from their worries after Tucker points out that the dangerous ghost stuff will happen regardless, so he might as well have the local vigilante on speed dial. Jeremy and Pamela Manson are harder to convince. They're used to having to pick their battles when it comes to Sam's goth, ultra recyclo vegetarian lifestyle, but on this they're not budging. They try to restrict Sam's contact with her friends and even go so far as to get a restraining order. Sam is increasingly fed up with their controlling behavior and, inspired by the Infi-Map, Sam breaks into the ghost zone in search of an artifact that would give her power so that she would never be trapped. Obviously Danny goes in after her, but then Sam's parents storm the Fenton house to take back their daughter and accidentally fall into the ghost portal, so Tucker takes the Specter Speeder and goes in after them. By the time the Fenton Parents return home everyone is back and the Manson's have given in to Sam's determination.

Valerie Gray initially continues to operate on her own. She maintains a frenemy status with Team Phantom due to her mixed feelings on Danny's civilian and ghostly personas, between that and the revelation of Vlad's villainous career Valerie's worldview is really shaken. She throws herself into vigilantism and hers dad gets really concerned when Valerie starts running herself ragged. In a last ditch effort to make her stop Damon Grey goes to the towns ghost hunting experts and begs them for an intervention. The Fenton parents agree and the three of them sit down with her for a talk about safe ghost hunting practices. This fails to stop her, but the Fentons refuse to give up on the 'Junior Ghost Hunter' and start inviting themselves on her patrols .Things come to a head when Dark Danny travels back in time to ensure his creation. Seeing how desperate Danny is to avoid becoming evil, and fighting alongside the Fentons convinces Valerie that its okay to count on others and slow down and take care of herself. (and also the Fentons are low-key inescapable)

Pariah Dark's incursion through Amity Park was the last straw needed for the Infinity Realms to start really breaking into reality. There was already some leakage (see lazarus pits) but this was the last straw for a problem that has been brewing for thousands of years now. Life in Amity Park continues normally, because to them ghost stuff is normal, but for the rest of the world its a different matter.

The Justice League is going around dealing with the sudden influx of supernatural nonsense. The ghost attacks range from minor nuisance to city-wide threat. The magic leaugers are trying to find the source, but it's Batman who identifies Amity Park as 'Ground Zero' for ghostly nonsense.

also something something Amanda Waller and the GIW either team up or become rivals.

I'm literally writing this while waiting to board my flight so I'll try and flesh out this AU later

[vladdyissues]

Lately Ive seen some awful things about antis and haters making threats and getting artists banned from Tumblr and X. Im new to the Phandom and love pompep but Im scared i'll be targeted if I write and share pompep fics. How do you manage sharing your work so bravely?

Firstly, welcome to the Phandom—and especially Pompous Pep! I have a simple protocol for enjoying a drama-free Tumblr experience:

Preventative Action

1. Find your community. Follow other Pompep fans and supporters and reblog their things. Don't be afraid to leave nice tags; we love and welcome interactions :) You can also join the Pompep Discord server if you enjoy chatting (DM me for details).

2. Turn off anon asks. This will solve 99% of all potential problems, and you can turn it back on whenever you want. Antis are cowards who prefer to hide behind the mask of anonymity. They seldom have the courage to say something with their whole username.

3. Block the obvious haters. This is a big fandom, and at some point you're likely to come across people openly hating on pompep, either on their bio, pinned posts, or comments. Block them. For an added layer of protection, add their username to your Filtering Options.

4. Tag your work appropriately. When posting, make sure your work is tagged correctly (the #pompous pep tag is especially important) so people who like pompep can find it and those who want to avoid it can block the tag. Use Content Labels when applicable.

5. Try to avoid using the platonic tag (#badger cereal) and the romantic tag (#pompous pep) at the same time. Some fans are really touchy about this. I'm not, and I think there are legitimate cases where use of both is applicable, but if you want to minimize friction, just stick with one tag or the other.

If you're not sure which tag to use, ask yourself what your intentions are with your art or fic. Is the goal a romantic relationship? If so, use the pompep tag. If it's truly ambiguous and could be seen either way, use the platonic tag first. You can always add another tag like "okay to tag as pompep", just to let people know they can interpret it however they please.

Responsive Action

If the above guidelines aren't 100% effective, here's what you do:

1. Don't feed the trolls. If you receive any negative asks in your inbox, it's important to NOT engage with them. Delete them, ignore them, don't let them get to you. Antis thrive on attention, so let them starve. Eventually they'll move on when they realize they're not going to get a rise out of you.

The same goes for any negative comment left on your work. Just delete it, block the person who left it, and pretend it never happened.

These asks and comments may come in the form of questions. Example: "How can you ship Danny with Vlad? That's [insert gross accusation here]" Resist the urge to answer these questions. They are not made in good faith. This person just wants to start an argument.

2. Report any harassment. If by some chance you receive a seriously hateful ask, like threats of violence or abuse, take a screenshot for proof/safekeeping, then report the message and the user if they're not anonymous. If the ask is anonymous, use the meatball menu (•••) at the top right to report the message and block the anon.

Final Words

It takes time to develop a thick skin and Don't Give A Fuck attitude, but it can be done. You are a phan. You have every right to be here and enjoy this fandom in peace, just like everyone else. Anyone who believes in harassing others over silly things like which cartoon characters should be allowed to kiss clearly has nothing better to do with their life. The sooner you shut them out, the happier you'll be.

Regarding media: Artists attract a lot more negative attention than writers for reasons I won't get into right now, but if you're mainly a writer, you will enjoy a much quieter fandom experience. Wherever you post your stories—I recommend AO3; DM me if you need an invite—follow the same advice there as I've given here: make sure your work is tagged correctly; support your fellow Pompep fans by reading and commenting on their works, building that community; moderate comments if you're concerned about negativity; block and mute users if they give you any trouble, and you'll enjoy a much more positive fandom experience.

There is strength in community. When you start making new fandom friends, you'll feel a lot less lonely, and that will give you the confidence you need to really have a good time here.

Wishing you the best, anon!

Ghost!Robin Part 12

My job ended so now I'm only part time employed. And I'm on vacation! So you get this chapter early in the day because I have plans later tonight. I think I'll have something to post next week, but I'm not sure. I'll be pretty busy this week, but the people I'm staying with do have work and school and stuff, so I should have time while they're doing that. Idk.

Story Summary: Danny was invited to dinner at Wayne Manor to meet Jazz's boyfriend and his family for the first time. He worked hard to make sure no ghost business would interrupt the evening. But when he arrived, all he could focus on was the ghost of the dead Robin that seemed to haunt Jason. Looks like he was breaking his promise.

First, Previous

Word Count: 1.2k

----------

Danny just blinked at him in confusion. “Who else was there? My accident is what activated the portal and started letting ghosts through. My fault, my responsibility. And since I became half ghost, I had the powers necessary to fix it. My parents were incompetent at best. I just did what had to be done. ”

Bruce’s eyes narrowed. “If your parents were so incompetent, who trained you? Who helped you?”

“I mean, at first it was just Sam, Tucker, and I. They were present for my accident and helped me figure out my powers. Jazz figured it out a few months later and covered for me until she eventually revealed she already knew and then started helping more actively. And eventually I made a bunch of allies in the Realms and they started teaching me. I’m learning sword fighting from the Fright Knight and Pandora, diplomacy from Queen Dorathea, medicine from my doctor, and so many more things. It’s why I’m not worried about getting a GED. I’m so swamped with lessons and responsibilities that I just don’t have the time right now. Even if my grandfather is the master of time.”

Surprisingly, it was Alfred who asked the next question. “Do you ever have time to rest?”

Danny grinned. “Absolutely. When it all gets to be too much, I call up my partners or little sister and run away for a bit. My council then pretends I’m harder to find than I am. Or I’ll fight them off if I’m not ready to go back yet. I won my title through trial of combat, after all. No one can beat me.”

Jazz pouted at him. “You could call me up more often for those escapades, you know.”

Danny laughed. “Call up Ms. Responsibility to help me shirk? Nah, you’re where I go when I need to focus and can’t do it anymore.”

She smiled at him. “I suppose I can settle for that.”

Damian tilted his head. “We have conducted extensive background checks on Jasmine after her relationship with Todd became known. You do not have a younger sister.”

“I do,” said Danny. “Her name is Dani-with-an-i and she’s either two years younger than me or fourteen depending on how you look at it.”

“You’ve been cloned?” Tim was staring at him, so shocked he’d even stopped typing.

“Dani doesn’t like being called my clone. She’s my sister and her own person.”

Tim shook his head. “No, sorry, I said that wrong. My best friend is a clone. Superboy.”

“Oh!” Danny grinned. “I get it. Dani would love an introduction if you think he’d be interested. Superboy was also created by a creepy billionaire who was obsessed with his template, right? They’d have so much in common.”

“Wait,” said Jason. “Vlad Masters actually cloned you? He’s not just some creepy rich dude but legit mad scientist?”

Jazz shrugged. “Supervillain more like. But we’ve got it mostly under control. Bruce, if he tries to set up a meeting with you between Wayne Enterprises and VladCo, let me know? He likes to overshadow his competitors and make them sign over their companies. It’s how he became mayor in Amity. But he won’t do anything if Danny or I are there.”

“Overshadow?” asked Bruce.

“Possession,” Tim answered for Danny. “Apparently it’s a basic ghost power.”

Bruce closed his eyes. “Of course it is.” Looking to Danny, he asked, “What else are basic ghost powers?”

“As I demonstrated earlier, flight—well, it’s more gravity nullification, but semantics—invisibility, intangibility. Then there’s ectoblasts—” he formed one in his hands and tossed it from hand to hand “—overshadowing. Um… and most ghosts have at least one extra power directly tied to their obsession. Like, Boxy, er ,the Box Ghost, has control over cardboard boxes. Lunch Lady has control over food. Things like that.” With a wave of his hands, he dissipated the ectoblast.

“And Vlad Masters has used these powers to win an election and steal other’s companies.”

“He also has the power of duplication. I’m working on it, but can only maintain two duplicates at a time and it takes a ton of concentration. Vlad can maintain dozens if not hundreds at once. And each duplicate can overshadow someone. It’s why he’s such a pain to fight.”

Jason raised his hand. “I’m sorry, can you back up for a sec. How long has Vlad had these powers?”

Jazz shrugged. “Since his university days with Jack and Maddie. There was an accident and Vlad got ghost powers like Danny.”

“Uh-huh.” Jason’s voice was tight and a slow spread of anger was filling the room. “And you first met him when you were a kid, right?”

“Yeah,” said Danny. “It was a few months after my accident, so I was fourteen.”

“Did he, a grown-ass man, start fighting you, a kid right from the beginning?”

“Look, it’s fine. He’s a fruitloop. I know that. He wanted to kill my dad and marry my mom and play father-son with me from the moment we met. And yeah, the fights were hard when I was a kid. But I’m way stronger than him now. He’s just got that one trick that is a bitch to account for. I’m fine. Have been fine. And now I’m old enough and disowned so my parents can’t even force me to spend time with him anymore.”

Robin face palmed at his last words and Danny threw his hands up in the air.

“What did I say this time? I’m fine!”

Bruce frowned. “I’m sorry the adults in your life have failed you so badly. I know you said you are receiving training from other mentors, but I do have extensive experience fighting with and against metas and will share my methods with you. Both you and your sister, excuse me, sisters are welcome here any time and I’ll make sure we have some rooms set aside for you anytime you’re on Earth and in New Jersey.”

Damian jumped to his feet, “Father!”

But before he could say more than that, Dick had rushed to his side and slapped a hand over his mouth and began whispering in his ear. Steph moved seats so the two brothers could sit next to each other.

Robin was grinning and pumping his fists in the air. He sent out welcome, family vibes towards Danny.

Emotions that were echoed by Jason who added a protect layer to them.

Duke let out a whoop. "I won't be the only meta around! Promise me you'll come by a lot."

Danny shook his head, but couldn’t stop the smile. “So, you’ve decided I’m not a threat, then?”

“Hn. It seems like you were a child, put into an impossible situation, failed by all the adults who should’ve protected you, and that you excelled anyway.”

Jason pointed his fork at Danny. “But don’t let him put you at ease. He will figure out ways to neutralize you if you end up going evil or get mind controlled. He does it to everyone, even Superman and Superman is his best friend.”

At that, Danny couldn’t help but laugh. “Good!”

Pulses of surprise came from both Robin and Jason.

“Look, I’ve faced both an evil future version of me and have had to deal with mind control.” He looked to Bruce and, serious now, said, “As soon as the Anti-Ecto Acts are repealed and the Guys in White disbanded, I will help you write those plans myself.”

---------

Next

The family is finally warming up to Danny and at least some of them want to bring them in! Damian is the least happy about it.

The Boys told Dayn about their issues to repair the ship and he was wondering why they just didn't ask Lenny. Saiwa: "Eh, we cant understand him?" Dayn: "But he could have shown you. Like this: Lenny, where did you break the communication system?" Lenny pointed his little paw towards the stern of the ship. Dayn: "See?" Saiwa: "We didn't know that was a thing ^^' " Dayn cuddled Lenny: "Aouww, he's so shy and cute!" Well, Lenny wasn't all that 'shy and cute' when he crashed and rumbled through the ventilation shafts and scared them to death and destroyed the ship...

Vlad and Jack went back to duty at the bridge and the others followed Dayn and Lenny to the ship's stern. Where they found another engine room they hadn't even noticed before...

Dayn: "It's here? Oh my, poor boy! You must have been so afraid when you hid back here!" The Boys almost felt bad, but just almost. They haven't forgotten yet how they cowered at the bridge in fear - for days!

Dayn collected a few parts together from Great A'Tuin's storage and his own ship and started the repairs. Jeb watched him eagerly so he could learn from him. Dayn: "So this is just an interim solution. I hope it will last until you reach the nearest outpost to replace the broken parts. I'll message the owner you're on your way and if you should get lost, he's going to search for you." Jeb: "Thank you so much. So, what is the purpose of this second engine room?" Dayn: "This is mainly for cooling the engines and devices. A strange coincidence though, that Lenny ended up here destroying the only parts here that are crucial for communication and routefinding..." Lenny looked aside. He might have had his reasons? ö.Ö'

Dayn kept rambling on: "... and what did we have a ball back here! The cooling water in the bassin is very clean. Like almost all the water on the ship it runs through a reprocessing cycle. Yeah, and we used it as a hot tub and had quite the fun, if you know what I mean! ^^' " Well, at least Ji Ho and Kiyoshi know what it means to have a ball in a hot tub ^^' (Ji Ho even three times! 1 - 2 - 3) The last pic doesn't look like they're really having a ball. That was before their first woohoo and they'd been so nervous!)

Ji Ho and Kiyoshi are still reliving their former hot tub experiences, while Saiwa is plotting his first - with Jeb :3 (Their faces!) And poor Jeb didn't get it or he's just too shy to respond ^^' He's still peppering Dayn with questions about the devices of the ship and how to handle them so he can brief Jack what he'd learned. (That's important too!)

And after Dayn finished, they invited him over to have a hot cocoa. But no matter how hard they tried, the tray didn't produce any mugs... So they talked about their adventures instead. Dayn, from when he was part of the Sixam Away Team and they explored a meteorite crash scene and the Boys chimed in because they also found a meteorite crash scene in Selvadorada! Kiyoshi went silent. He wasn't with them then. That was when he lived in the tree... He'd missed out so much because he'd been so busy all the time. Fullfilling his duties for the Resistance and the Council. He's determined to make it up to Jack and the others. This time, he won't fail them again. The decades in the tree reformed him. Jeb looked lovingly at his best friend <3 He's glad it all turned out so well in the end - well, at least until now. Kiyoshi is back together with them for almost a year now and he and Jack are slowly figuring out their fated-mates-thing.

Eventually, Vlad was able to pour some cocoa for them! (Turned out that it can't be served while sitting? -.-)

Dayn also tought them some basic words/meowls in Lenny's language, so they'll have less misunderstandings ^^' He also already messaged Albaleyh and the Kids about Lenny's whereabouts. Seon Mi and Joon Gi are still sad he left. But they are happy he's helping the Boys out to rescue their father. For them this is the turning point and they are positive it'll work out now :3 And they are finally eating again.

Vlad and Jack sat at the bridge and drank their cocoa. Having a break and cherishing the silence after all the commotion. Experiencing thrilling space adventures really isn't as fun as in the movies...

The Little Goats Sartyrs ogled them from their meadow in the cargo bay below. Little Goat: 'That hot tub basin thing will provide so much fun!' Little Goat: 'Ikr! I wonder which couple will explore it first!?' Little Goat: 'Let's place bets!'

What will await them on their odyssey through the galaxy? Stay tuned and find out in the following episodes of

What if vlad was in love with jack and hated maddie - love hate swap au

I've been finding very little pac man (jack x vlad) content but literally thinking about it for awhile and it makes soooo much sense

Tldr: to vlad jack is vlad's sweet himbo best friend he crushes on while maddie is the manipulative evil women who wanted the accident to happen to take jack from him and continue to manipulating jack to keep him away from vlad and hating ghosts. Also think maddie did the same to danny or least doesn't care abt danny and is a bad mum

Ok jack is the one who pushed the button and inthe show Vlad's thinking along "that stupid oaf ruin my life and took maddie by being so wreckless"

But like I was finding it hard that vlad would still love maddie. He goes on how stupid and incompentent jack is and how clever and impressive maddie is. So why easily forgive her for getting with jack and not visiting him ever since the accident?

If he thinks jack is so stupid how could he think jack took away maddie?

My idea of this love hate swap (idk what else to call this yet) is that to vlad jack is kinda like a himbo, a golden retriever; means well but can be air headed and not thinks through.

Like you can see here in a couple of photos jack and vlad were pretty good friends. They were in a band where though others made fun of them, the 2 just smiled away. Makes me think they were the "losers/outcast" friends so they were close.

Even fandom wiki says

"Vlad was once Jack's best friend, probably the closest thing he had to a brother. The two of them used to be roommates and lab partners in college. They did everything together, until the proto-portal..."

Now at the time maddie and vlad are also pretty good friends, but not as close as jack and vlad. All it says in wiki they knew each other in college and were in the same ghost club. Even more points why he's less likely to defend maddie.

So the accident happens the same and vlad here thinking

"jack did push the button but he always rushes head first, he doesn't mean it, he's so sweet, he wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose"

And then it gets him thinking about maddie

"what about maddie? She was the only other person there and she also knew the calculations were off...

Yet she didn't stop jack, she went towards jack and left me"

Eventually he's starting to think this is maddie's fault and a big plot to take jack from him and leave him alone

"She went to Jack and left me, left me to take the brunt of the portal, she didn't stop Jack cos she wanted me to get hurt by the protal maybe even kill me!

So that way she wouldn't be accountable! It would be just an "accident", when really she wanted me out of the picture!

I bet she's pretended to comfort Jack and when Jack's at his most vunerable, maddie swooped Jack for herself!"

So when he doesn't see jack or maddie visiting him he may first be just cos he's got the ecto acne thing but he's still bitter against maddie and gets worse with still no word from either of them.

But after awhile he's out of hospital and still no word from them (technically think canon says they said they never spoke to each other since the accident)

He might have gotten smth like a letter saying how they're a big family now and/or a wedding invite...or he just got someone secretly hired to find them and info abt them lol

And he's just furious, he's sure maddie is behind this and has manipulated jack to keep away from vlad and get together

That she wanted jack from the start and would do anything even if it means getting rid of vlad. Well isn't she gonna be in for a surprise.

He still get stupid rich by illegal means but his thought isn't just to be sucessful to impress jack but also have enough money for jack (and him) to invent and research to his hearts content without worrying abt a budget.

So jumpskip to bitter reunions and vlad now finds out danny is a halfa and his thought

"That twisted women! Has she no heart! To do this to her own child! Jack is always so sweet, he'd never do this! She'll do anything for her research, even if it means half killing a child!"

Later Danny will say neither his parents know and his mum wouldn't do a thing like that, cos like this is his mum!

But vlad still keeps his suspicions of maddie somehow at fault of danny becoming a halfa. That even if she didn't plan it, she still doesn't care about her children to keep them safe.

I'd say unlike the show he doesn't go trapping and fighting danny, but they're now pretty tense with each other as vlad makes it clear he wants to break up maddie and jack (danny doesn't know vengeful he really is till way later)

Also I think it'll be funny if vlad commits crimes and danny fights him and vlad goes "you're so homophobic"

Somewhere along the line he finds out how much the fenton parents hate ghosts and sure maddie also behind this and has "poisoned his sweet jack" with these lies.

But it worries him given he's half ghost and tries to slip in to defend ghosts. Or least ease the idea not all ghosts are evil.

Vlad would also make some snide comment about how maddie "mistreats" Jack or doesn't really love him and basically finds anything to nitpick of her as a wife or mother.

He'd say alot of stuff hope to rile maddie up and show how she's actually not so "sweet".

I don't have any clear ideas where this goes but ik shit would hit the fan if it go out to jack and maddie what he really thought of maddie.

Also up for interpretation how maddie and jack react or what they actually act like; did they both really care about vlad and just a big misunderstanding? Or did they not care about him enough to check in? Is jack completely oblivious or feels smth up?

If you guys have any other idea or perhaps a better name for this au feel free to say in comments or rb

[the0venisfrozen]

Ok hear me out,

Nicktoons Unite except Dan, who got trapped in a Danny clone’s body at the end of a glitch in time, takes Danny place.

Dan is having a hard time adjusting to his new life, especially since Vlad is no his legal guardian. Vlad is trying to make it work, but Dan is still going through some heavy stuff and lashing out. He doesn’t want this, he wants revenge. That is until Jimmy Neutron contacts him, Mistaking him for Danny Phantom, since he’s a clone and has a similar energy signature. Dan takes it as an opportunity to get out of Vlad’s sight for a bit. The whole nicktoons team thinks he’s Danny and end up spending time with him.

For Dan it’s like catching up with old friends while also having to keep up the facade he’s not the Danny they know.

So they go on an adventure but are interrupted when Vlad finds them and says he’s taking Daniel. The squad fights him off but Vlad says this isn’t over and retreats. The squad continues with only Jimmy questioning Dan but it’s shot down by Timmy’s reassurance. They bond and have fun doing missions together.

Eventually Vlad shows up again, this time with the real Danny Phantom in tow. With his secret out, the squad turns on him for lying and Dan no longer puts up a fight and ends up leaving with Vlad and Danny. Dan lashes out at them for not just leaving him alone and that they were once his friends too. Danny straight up says he can’t be trusted and the two go back and forth with each other until Vlad steps in and dismisses Danny, assuring him that he has Dan under control.

Danny is reluctant but leaves anyways. After he leaves, Dan storms to his room and shuts the door. Vlad later shows up with a tray of food, specifically cheese, and tries to get him to come out. When Dan says nothing, Vlad tells him that Dan isn’t alone in this. Dan is part Danny, but he’s also part Vlad, and he knows the anger that Dan is feeling. It’s ugly and cruel and only wants to make the people who hurt them suffer. But that’s not what healing is. They both have to heal in order to become better people. Not good people, neither of them are willing to become heroes, but maybe something better than they are now.

Dan eventually opens the door and the two talk. Eventually, Vlad tells Danny about their talk and after a while Danny takes Dan back to see the Nicktoons. He’s weary at first but once the squad says Danny explained everything to them and that they see why he lied to see them again. Dan is then invited to come back and see them whenever.

Do you think there were in universe signs for Jack being a Xiaolin dragon?

I always thought he was meant to be one. And when Chronicles came out with Ping Pong, I was even more hoping he would eventually get to be good.

Vlad is a most welcome addition to our team... but he is the last one, right? I mean, just how many dragons-in-training can there be?

The way this line is written and delivered definitely implies that, even though Vlad was clearly not a permanent addition, there are other dragons-in-training that were supposed to join the team that Omi didn't know about, just like he didn't know about the other three in the first place.

There were little hints here and there that there were theoretically more dragons-in-training, but it was never seriously followed up on.

As for Jack, there were multiple instances that hints that he's not as firmly evil as he likes to posture himself as.

Hannibal himself reads Jack as "a single generation from good," every season finale has Jack team up with the monks to fight against the current villain, Jack's been invited to the temple multiple times and he turns them down for flippant reasons like the "bathrobes" instead of being deeply opposed to it. In the alternate timeline, he lives with the monks already.

Good Jack shows that there is a part of Jack that always believes that good prevails no matter what evil does, which even builds into Jack's motivation for being evil at all. It also shows there's a part of Jack that really likes Dojo and the monks.

"The Apprentice" opened up a whole can of worms where Jack genuinely tried, and only stopped because he didn't think anyone was genuinely trying to accept him there. He's shocked and doesn't know what to say when he unequivocally learns that Omi really did believe in him and truly wants Jack there with them no matter what the other monks think about it.

And there are small implications that Jack might cosmically belong at the temple, in the grand scheme of things. When the timelines are coming back together, that's where Jack's deposited.

Sadly, in season 3, basically all character development and character arcs were dropped and regressed to make the leadership competition work. So it definitely wasn't about to continue anything the earlier seasons started with Jack.

But I'd say you could argue there were possible signs, yeah.

[black-rose-writings]

I absolutely love how accepting Danny is of Dani/Ellie, but I am a master of angst and I therefore must make it angsty (even if only lightly).

Consider this:

Vlad is trying to figure out why the clones keep failing (it is the food issue, but he's a dunce and won't figure that out until later), so he tries to substitute what he thinks is missing with his own material, making Ellie a mix of him and Danny.

Now, this Ellie has bits and pieces of both Vlad and Danny's memories and abilities (technically, physically, she's closer to Danny, mentally, she is closer to Vlad, but she's also very much not bound by physical rules and, conciously or not, makes herself look more like Vlad than she should in an attempt to make him less likely to dispose of her). So Vlad is trying to make her believe she is the Prime clone while he "keeps her for further study", while she is trying to manipulate him into getting attached and actually keeping her as a daughter. Vlad gets attached.

Ellie, having never been human, is very bad at pretending to be one, especially at the begining. 0 respect for gravity and walls, does not quite understand how far human joints are supposed to bend or how social norms work. Basically, she's a little eldritch freak in the body of an adorable 12yo. She does eventually get better, but she is more ghost than human and will always be off in one way or another.

Now, fast forward a couple of months. Vlad has been awfully quiet and Danny is getting suspicious. Jack decides to invite Vlad over for dinner (nobody else is too happy about it, but Jack is a stubborn bitch and Maddie eventually decides that maybe Vlad would get the hint this time). Danny is dreading what Vlad would have planned for said dinner, so when Vlad walks in with a kid that is giving him all sorts of creeps, he's on high alert.

Of course, he thinks it's a scheme of some sort. Some kind of trick to woo his mom. Is that kid some kind of ghost he convinced to help him? A creation of Desiree? His actual biological kid that he's been ignoring until now that he has decided to take in to spite Danny? (That's what Maddie thinks. She certainly looks like she could be that.) Vlad claims she's adopted, but nobody's buying that.

So, while the dinner is getting finished and the adults are chatting, Danny practically drags Ellie aside and asks her what she is, totally ready to throw hands with this child if she turns out to be dangerous. Ellie plays dumb at first, but eventually reveals what she is (Vlad had a whole speech planned for Danny. Ellie is not sorry she ruined that).

And if she was just Danny's clone, I think Danny would probably handle it well (as well as one can handle finding out your enemy cloned you, anyway), though he would have some choice words for Vlad. But Ellie is not just Danny in this version and Danny has been traumatised by TUE. So, obviously, he throws hands with a 12yo. Ellie's only complaint is "your parents are going to hear us fighting, you flatcake." Danny does eventually calm down and Ellie promises him they can beat the shit out of each other later for proper ghost bonding, but first they have to survive the dinner with their parents.

Hc where Vlad genuinely loves Christmas.

Like, it's not even to drive Danny up the walls for his hatred of it, bro just genuinely loves Christmas. It's how that even someone like Vlad could stand by and not break the Christmas truce despite his personality.

The one day a year where Danny gets left alone before Vlad somehow, someway, got redeemed and became an ok-ish guy.

Danny, genuinely, thought it was because Vlad being the careful fruitloop he is, doesn't want to get dogpiled like Ghost Writer did when he, himself, broke the Christmas Truce.

But no, biggest reason is that he genuinely loves Christmas.

Unfortunately, Vlad has no one to celebrate with.

So, he celebrates with himself, using his many duplicates of course!

Danny finds out when he encounters one of his many duplicates trying to buy gifts for himself, Danny sees it as very sad honestly when he found out, but was he going to do anything about it?

No.

Vlad can go bugger off to his mansion for the holiday and leave Danny alone for one day a year. Fudge, the guy even seemed to be aware of it by saying that he wouldn't want to oppose when invited by the Fentons, even though he's literally obsessed with his mother.

When Vlad somehow became redeemed, and stopped being a creep towards his mom and trying to force him into being his son he... sorta grew a conscious. I.e, going over to Vlad's mansion and dragging the man out to join his family in celebration.

Apparently, he still never got the hint that he's invited, like, at all. So Danny has to drag him over, every. Single. Year.

At the very least, the man made great non-living treats.

This, has gone on for years, Danny still looks 14, Vlad for some reason stopped aging at 45 and everyone else in the Fenton family knows that they're half ghost and has no problem with it (Jack and Maddie don't anymore after realizing everything they knew and thought were wrong) and celebrated Christmas just as hard as before, if not more so.

Even Dani stopped travelling the world to come back and join in.

It eventually turned into a tradition at that point, and after their family lived and died at a rip age (they never became ghosts) it sorta put a damper on the mood.

Then Vlad left, suddenly thinking he isn't invited anymore since Danny hates Christmas.

Danny, come next year, proved him wrong by showing up out of nowhere, as Phantom, wearing a Santa hat and star cape in the shape of a tree that Vlad stitched himself, with Dani also in ghost form also wearing one with a Christmas themed gas mask on her face.

Danny then just floated down towards him, took him by the back of his Christmas themed cape (Yes, Vlad is also in ghost form), looked at both the heroes, and villains who decided to fight on Vlad's personal property since he was probably funding one of either, or even both sides.

Then said they were taking him, his treats (Dani picked them up because she missed them) and excused themselves.

Vlad won't lie, he's incredibly touched by this event. But he was also a bit sad because he spent so long carefully manipulating both sides for one final, climatic, giant crash that he could sit back and watch while enjoying his cup of hot cocoa and enjoying his goods on one of the best days of the year.

The Bride of Straud: Chapter 3

*Credit to Lilsimsie for certain sims used in this chapter

The day after the wedding, Claudia’s vampiric training began in earnest. In the morning Vlad met her in the study, and he taught her how to perform dark meditation, explaining to her the many powers she could develop, and advised her on what skill sets were most practical for someone of her status.

As promised, later that day the Hellions came to the mansion in order to aid in Claudia’s training. Unfortunately for Claudia, Miss Hell advised that she begin by focusing not on her vampiric strength, but her physical strength. After a grueling work out, Miss Hell then promised her that they could begin sparing lessons later that night, after sunset.

Once the Hellions left, Claudia resumed her lore studies. She had already made so much progress in her studies that she’d almost gone through all of the reading Vlad had assigned to her. All that was left was the Ultimate Vampire Compendium, which Claudia intended to make quick work of.

In merely a matter of days, Claudia had managed to ascend from a fledgling to a minor vampire. That may not seem like much, but it was actually an incredible feet. Only Vlad's most promising pupils had achieved such a quick ascension. Claudia admitted to being famished, as was he, so he offered to take her on her very first hunt before she went to train with Miss Hell.

For her first hunt, Vlad selected an apartment building in the city of Newcrest. The inside was filled with humans whom they could pray upon. Vlad chose to take the first floor, while Claudia took the second.

One the first floor Vlad found his way into the apartment of Alex Adkins. A single father of twin girls, he was left to care for them all on his own after his partner, Yvonne, left him. Though Vlad knew nothing of Alex’s story or the fact that he had two young daughters to look after, nor did he care. He drained Alex of all life, and left his dry husk on the floor for his children to discover. After that refreshing drink, Vlad went for a little dip in the apartment’s pool.

Claudia found her way into the apartment of one Marianna Palmer, a single mother who had only discovered she was pregnant after her divorce. Regardless of Marianna’s precarious financial situation, she kept the child and worked hard to provide her daughter the life she deserved.

Since Marianna and Alex's children were around the same age they often set up play dates between them. Marianna had felt a spark between her and Alex, and was gathering the courage to finally ask him out.

Unfortunately, that would never happen.

When Grimm showed up to collect the souls, Claudia once again started a dialogue with the Reaper. Grimm was admittedly charmed by Claudia’s willingness to converse with him, as not many did. Work had grown so monotonous for him, but she broke the routine of showing up, filing a death report, reaping, and leaving. He really appreciated that, and considered her a friend for it. He also certainly didn’t mind her constant flirting.

She invited him downstairs to the pool where her husband was. He joined her and the three of them had a lovely time chatting by the poolside and enjoying the lovely night air. Eventually, Grimm had to leave, and Claudia and Vlad went home soon after, never to think of the lives they had destroyed again.

When Claudia returned to Forgotten Hollow, refreshed from her first hunt, she made good on her promise to train with Miss. She went over to the Hellion’s abode, the former house in which the De Blanchetts once lived. Her and Miss Hell went out into the back of the house, where their sparing session began.

Every single time, Claudia suffered a crushing defeat by the hands of Miss Hell, but every time Miss offered Claudia her hand to get back up, and every time she took it. Despite her constant losing, Miss Hell insisted that she was improving, and assured that with time and perseverance, Claudia may one day be able to defeat even her in combat.

Claudia pretended to believe in Miss Hell’s words as if she didn’t already know them to be true. One day, she would be more powerful than the Hellions, then Vlad even. One day, she would be the most powerful of them all, and vampire kind would bow before her.

However, not just yet. She had to take things one step at a time. After returning home, Claudia made good on her word, and made quick work of the Ultimate Vampire Compendium. With that she was deemed by Vlad as knowing everything worth knowing. He had known she would make a promising queen when he decided to propose to her, and he was quite pleased she was proving him right.

“At least,” Claudia thought to herself. “He can die assured that his domain would be left in capable hands.”

I tried For Rent out, sorry if I'm late to the info party

Results and occurances below

I launched my photography save successfully... Next step, completely new save on a rental unit in Tomarang. The heck is Onboarding and why does it apply to this scenario????

Wait... there's only two rental units available in Tomarang? And the 2 bedroom has mold and spooky??? Yes I need a 2 bedroom because I'm also checking if the system can handle an infant on lot and if I can figure out water births because lat time I tried the midwife would not arrive.

Okay it handled me going in and out of cas, and switching to my internet browser a couple of times... I went into BB mode and changed the second bedroom. Game seems unfazed so far. I have played on fast speed here and there. Successfully traveled worlds.

New day new loading. A patch of mold showed up in this allegedly moldy residential rental. Time to investigate options! Can't call the landlord about it? Let's try calling and inviting the property owner to visit, see how they react to the mold.

Clicked invite in and... they're not coming inside. Mate you can't see the mold outside! Okay I found the ask to inspect menu... and the mold is not classified as an object, hmm. Alright let's walk past the mold to get to the couch, no reaction from landlord except to say its dust free?

Let's try complain about rental conditions, maybe he'll go deal with the mold? Oop, nope. He just dislikes us a little now. Time to have the pregnant sim clean the mold in front of him, will he react?

Na it's fine mate, you just chill and do nothing. This must be great for the fetus. I'll go get the husband to stop jogging. Well I cancelled the action but he's still jogging away... Now he's stopped. Back home, has he picked a great angle for TV viewing or what?

Second ob visit, we're expecting twin boys. Time to go visit the tiger sanctuary! Oh wait... no, you're kidding! The wife can't queue up a visit because the husband is inside? Are you serious right now? We can't visit as groups???

Back to waiting for the outdoor lights. Seriously outdoor light not properly illuminating is a pet peeve of mine. If they could make these ones work, why not make all outdoor lights turn on at the proper dusky time? The York's patio would like a word!

So we introduced ourselves to the neighbours and now they're crowding up our lounge... I didn't actually invite you in from the shared area! Now we're off to the ob for the final visit and they're still there!

Middle of the night, after poor husband got attacked by Vlad as if he doesn't have two infants on the way, explosive malfunction! Will the property owner come at 2:30 am? He will!

Oh dear, it's a crush because we ushered him inside wearing just our boxers isn't it? Uh, sir, the trash is not the problem! I asked you to go check the stove! Both sims have now asked him to check it. He decides he would rather do push ups in the rain. Y'all I closed for lunch and I'm back and FIRE TRAP! Do I dare press play?

I thought the property owner was finally fixing but he's standing by the stove complaining that it's broken instead... Now he's washing his hands?

WE LIVE IN THE SAME BUILDING but why not bless other sims with incoming infant shrieks?

I eventually selected to replace the stove, there was no repair option. It cost 1050 simoleons and the property owner gave us... 143 simoleons to cover it... But at least I can watch the neighbours walk from their door to mine with suitcases. Still waiting on the dilation and the stayover guests have got into a brawl with each other... It was the father and son in law. Oh and now the girl is jumping in trash...

Note to self, water birth involves midwife and not partner. Might use it for single sims but probably not my couples. Twins are born and I can cautiously say that For Rent doesn't appear to be glitching at the moment. Don't invite this family to stay over though, the unit now has four piles of trash from their antics.

Miscellaneous things from my “Danny Fenton is Thomas Wayne” au (a better au name to follow)

When Bruce was younger/learning to talk, he couldn’t pronounce his name correctly. When Danny was teaching him his name, he’d say “Booce” so Danny started call him “Boo” as a nickname. Danny still calls him “Boo” as his main nickname as Bruce gets older.

When Bruce was a little older, Danny would take him out to the balcony or sneak him up to the rooftop so that they could look at the stars together. Danny told Bruce that if he ever felt alone and Danny wasn’t there to be with him, just look at the stars, Danny will always be with him.

Danny likes making things. He’s a tech whizz like Tucker and the two of them love to create ideas together and try and make them. After he gets adopted, Danny has a lot more access to making gadgets and gizmos. He doesn’t really sell them unless he thinks they’ll help the world be better, or because its harmless.

When Danny was adopted, he didn’t tell his friends until the Waynes asked what he wanted to do to ‘debut’ himself. (They figured that the world and press would find out about him eventually, might as well make an impression) And Danny thought, regrettably, that some sort of party would be best for him to make connections. So the Waynes taught Danny etiquette and other stuff that would help him, and then sent the invitations out.

He asked them to invite the Mansons, so they did. Then texted Sam about it and asked her to attend, and possibly bring Tucker if she could. Safe to say the day of the party, when Danny got introduced, he could feel Sam glaring holes into his head. It was totally worth it. (Bruce was being taken care of back home, which Danny fretted about the entire time. He kept having to convince himself not to leave early.) He was sorely tempted to invite Vlad to see his face.

Speaking of Vlad, he has no idea that Danny changed his name. He didn’t think Danny would do that, he just thought he ran away or left town. And its not like any of his friends would tell Vlad. He doesn’t know that Danny’s changed his name until the headlines about the new Wayne Heir come out.

After Danny was adopted, he started self-teaching himself business and other stuff that would help him learn how to run Wayne Industries. He did it in secret so that he could surprise his new parents.

Also about Martha — I’m not making Sam the Martha Wayne equivalent. Amethyst Ocean really isn’t my thing, so Martha Wayne is either going to be a separate character that Danny genuinely falls in love with. OR Danny’s just gonna remain a single dad.

Danny has somewhat retired ‘Phantom’ / his ghost form. Or at least he doesn’t transform into a ghost quite as often. Mainly because there’s no reason to, and also because Gotham doesn’t have nearly enough ambient ectoplasm to sustain Danny like in Amity. The only times he transforms is to have late night flights.

Sam and Tucker don’t call Danny by ‘Danny’, they call him Thomas or Tom. Tucker sometimes jokingly calls him Tommy.

More miscellaneous stuff to come lmfao

Ikevamp - napoleon's sequel - chap 1 ~ 10

What happened so far

Chapter 1 - 5

We had a lot of lovely-dovey moments with Napoleon in this first part of his sequel.

We had the chance to see a bit of jealous Napoleon when Arthur and the others were teasing them at the mansion and when Vlad gave a bouquet of flowers to MC. Napoleon bought another one just for her ahaha

If you unlocked the key to his heart in chapter 2 you'll get his POV about the flower episode and how he loves to do mundane errands with MC.

He is really romantic and peaceful in the first chapters. He seems happy with the life he has now.

In chapter 3 he gave a ring to MC as a symbol of his vow to always be with her. Napoleon also invited her to visit Corsica, his hometown.

No idea when he was planning to take MC there, but in chapter 4 we can feel that he will have to postpone that trip.

MC and Napoleon notice Gav (yes, our little and lovely Gav is in napoleon's route once again <3) helping some people in town. The young boy let them know he wants to help the local community from now on. So he created the citizen's watch.

Not long after that, Gav introduces Marius and some other boys in their twenties to Napoleon. He says these boys also want to join their watch to help locals.

Napoleon hesitates to teach these new guys fencing, but he eventually gives in. He even invites Jean to help him.

Chapters 6 - 10

Napoleon realizes his students are taking too much of his time. He wants to spoil MC and also spend some quality time with her.

They go to an exhibition and everything is going well when a mysterious man approaches Napoleon. MC was not close at that moment. She was buying some gifts for the mansion residents.

Basically, the random guy said that Napoleon's existence was a mistake. And that he and the other shouldn't be alive. He also points out that Napoleon will ruin the world. He doesn't say a word to MC about that encounter.

A few days later, Comte's friend hires Napoleon as a security at his party.

And yes, Comte was excited to think about the possibility of buying dresses for MC, as she is also attending the ball as Comte's guest.

At the party, a dude called Thénardier wanted to talk to Napoleon. He wanted to hire him as a bodyguard. This guy even said he could hire the citizen's watch as his army and Napoleon could be their commander. Napoleon refused.

After Napoleon refused the offer, the Duke, who was holding the party, allowed Napoleon to take a break to dance with MC!!

Let me just vent here that when we had to make a choice, the correct answer was not to kiss him T_T

Several days passed, and Marius and his group got into a fight with some nobles. Napoleon and MC luckily were in town and Gav called them to help. When they got there Marius and some other boys were injured. The nobles attacked them claiming that the citizen's watch was a nuisance and working class should shut up and do their job. Otherwise, they could fire those civilizans who worked in their family's factory.

The situation escalated quickly after that and Paris is no longer the same. Marius and the others want to send a message to those rich boys who attacked them. They even asked for Napoleon's cooperation, but Napoleon rejected their offer. He also said he didn't teach them how to fight to assault people.

That same night, Comte gathered everyone to warn them to not get involved in the recent events and to be careful.

Then, Sebastian points out that there is something wrong.

Vlad, Faust and Charles are also in that meeting and Vlad says that maybe someone is changing things slowly and that may have affected the present.

After that, we see Napoleon in the garret pondering his next moves. He feels guilty that because of him those boys are using what they learned to assault others. MC noticed that he was acting weird lately, so she went there to reassure him she was always going to be by his side.

Another thing that is bothering Napoleon is that random dude who said his existence in this world was a problem. He still doesn't know who he is and how he can find him.

Oh, and at this point, everyone in the mansion says that Napoleon is a human again after all those events in act 1. Don't ask me why he is not a demi-vampire. It doesn't make sense to me, but Napoleon has no bloodlust so far.
