#you'll get a fic one day dennis

[illiana-mystery]

He was serving all the looks in this mid movie.

[charmac]

in regard to the theories, it’s nothing profound, just things i’ve caught that may allude different things. i think he had a crazy 20s-30s and definitely had a drug problem (as alluded when he recalls the 2008 world series and when he’s going over the contract with mac). i think he went through this wild party phase and then something bad inevitably happened to him, and that’s why he’s so obsessed with control and keeping a perfect image. not entirely sure what could’ve happened, but there was definitely lack of control before there was obsessive control. i also am interested in seeing the backstory of his sexuality, since all the sex tapes that mac saw were girls’ names, and i could definitely see that he would struggle with coming to terms with that (obviously not as much as mac lol) but there probably were some issues there. also, he probably assumes that no one would want to be with him unless he pays them, so there’s probably some issues in his past that led to that belief. idk there’s just so much to think about with this fic!!! if the crazy party guy -> obsessive control of image is true, then his backstory definitely reminds me of shiv’s from succession. now i’m just rambling. i can’t believe im thinking this deep about a character from a macdennis sugar daddy au LOL

No it's great, I love how much you're thinking about it, especially to a depth that I do.

That's definitely along the lines of it all, for sure. The major difference in canon Dennis and this Dennis is obviously the money he has for himself (even if he's still tied to Frank in some ways). Financial stability gives Dennis a clear basis of control over his life, the problem is somewhat obvious in that he's not just financially stable, he's rich... and no monetary barrier blocking his access to things like sex and drugs took a while for him to get under control. Perhaps he's still to this day trying to figure it out, and his past continues to haunt him .. You'll see in due time.

[lea-andres]

Because I'm in a Denny's with my fiancé and thinking super hard about my lore (but not hard enough to keep writing When the Day Met the Night 😬) let's run through some of the more disastrous events of my (main) fic series. (@notquitejosh , we don't talk about the planned sequels to WtDMtN often, you might be interested in this.)

This got extremely long LMAO so it's in the read more.

- This is extremely minor, but I do want to bring up that Fang, Mina, and Bean absolutely destroy Mina's ex Manager's sports car. They don't exactly Street Fighter it, but they WRECK the thing. (When the Day Met the Night)

- Eggman kidnaps the winner of the fighting tournament to attempt to build robots based off of them, similar to the Android Shadows. This backfires when the winner gets substituted for someone else without his knowledge and the robots are rendered USELESS. (When the Day Met the Night)

- Eggman turns Triple S into Werehogs. They get loose, destroy his base, and escape into the world. (Unnamed Werehog fic)

- The Werehogs start destroying cities and attacking people. GUN wants to shoot them, the Restoration wants to capture them and cure them. (Unnamed Werehog fic)

- Jewel tries to set up a trap for Shadow where all the power characters jump the guy, and it failed, resulting in lots of broken bones for the power characters. (Unnamed Werehog fic.)

- Infinite is pardoned for his war crimes so he can get Shadow under control. (Unnamed Werehog fic.)

- Silver almost kills Espio while a Werehog. (Unnamed Werehog fic)

- Restoration HQ gets wrecked by Werehogs. (Unnamed Werehog fic)

- Eggman Nega attempts to conquer the Acorn Kingdom (which I stuck in the Sol Dimension because fuck Canon.), And the Sol Emeralds yoink all of the girls (and Infinite, LOL) and tosses them at Blaze to form a lesbian pirate crew with and stop Nega. (Unnamed Lesbian Pirates fic)

- Bark's Mom almost gets North Island destroyed by Eggman because she sucks. (Miserably Loving You)

- Infinite starts teaching Jewel how to be a bad bitch. Really ends up being disastrous for Bark's Mom more than anyone else, but Infinite had fun. (Miserably Loving You)

- I don't want to reveal the context of why this is disastrous, but Bean goes on a date with a girl. Yes, BEAN. (Miserably Loving You)

- Mephiles attempts to seize control of Espio's mind. (???)

- Mephiles tricks Sonic and Co into doing a thing that eliminates half of the life on the planet. (The Catalyst)

- Mephiles loses his powers and turns into a normal mortal hedgehog, and Silver starts dragging him around to make him fix this. (The Catalyst)

- Jewel breaks Mephiles's nose. Really only disastrous to Mephiles, but I personally love it so it makes the cut. (The Catalyst)

- INFINITE FUCKING DIES. DOES THE DOG DIE IN MY FIC VERSE YES IT DO. (The Catalyst)

- GUN takes Shadow and ???'s DNA (because I'm a bitch, I will say one person has correctly guessed who ??? Is. And @bitter-sweet-coffee knows, LOL) and makes a supersoldier kid (Chaos Specimen #91) they pump full of mind control serum to ensure they have 100% control of them constantly. (Project Chaos Specimen)

- Shadow finds out CS91 is his kid, and he and Omega level a GUN lab, take her, and go on the run. Shadow names her Maria, take a wild guess as to why you'll never get it. 😂 (Project Chaos Specimen)

- Maria, Rosella (Tails's kid, long story), and Briar (Whisper and Tangle's kid, they adopt him.) All meet. (Project Chaos Specimen)

- Briar steals and crashes the Marvelous Queen a couple of times. (Sequel to Project CS)

- The kids run away to bring Infinite back to life. (Sequel to Project CS)

That's all I can think of now, LOL.

[polkadotpatterson]

if possible, do you have any thoughts on randy dennis and/or slosh truk? :o

ooooohhh I really wish I did have more thoughts about them because I think they're both very cool and great fits for the Talkers, but them both having multiple interpretations combined with the general chaos of the expansion era means I never got the chance to get properly attached to them. but! I'll attempt them both since I won't have much of anything satisfying for either of them and maybe it'll combine to be something half-decent

Randy!

favorite thing about them: If we had to lose Richmond again, I'm glad it was for a siphon with flippers who fit right in! I love that there’s Manatee DJ Randy and Selkie Skater Girl Randy and both interpretations are rad as heck

least favorite thing about them: I wish we'd had more time with them!

favorite line: I don't remember any specific moments, sorry

brOTP: I think Manatee Randy and Crocodile Lucien would get along really well

OTP: okay this is the most Forbidden Ship I have but way back in the day when London was still in the Shadows and hadn’t been lored as Egg yet I had my own secret human interpretation of xer and I shipped xer with Skater Girl Randy. the world will never get to see this due to how things turned out

nOTP: idk, are there even Randy ships out there

random headcanon: Skater Girl Randy taught Orbvi (the Talkers’ Chorby Soul replica) how to do skateboard tricks even though they'd probably never get to use them in a game. this is written into my Orbvi fic and you'll all get to see it if I ever finish it

unpopular opinion: everything I just said about Randy and London is my unpopular opinion lol

song i associate with them: idk they’re a DJ I guess it's all like. fun dance party music. Dale!

favorite picture of them: Nic’s Skater Girl Randy art is very cool

aaaaaaannnnddd Slosh!

favorite thing about them: OOZE. A perfect fit for the Talkers! so there's uh. Axolotl Slosh, and Slosh made of Ooze, and Josh Turk who either died and turned into Slosh, or is the regular guy who's around when Slosh isn't playing? I think those are the general interpretations and I may not have all the details right but they all sound pretty cool imo

least favorite thing about them: xe got temporarily stolen by the rising stars and it was scary

favorite line: the one thing that sticks in my head because I actually wrote about it was that xe came back from Elsewhere to end the first Alto Solo and they could finally have a break

brOTP: I think xe got pretty close with Alto and London and Eugenia because they were a very small lineup, especially Alto and Eugenia after being in the Rising Stars Shadows together

OTP: Are there Slosh Ships? I'm honestly not familiar with any

nOTP: see above

random headcanon: uuuhhhh can't think of anything, sorry

unpopular opinion: don't really have any

song i associate with them: idk

favorite picture of them: The one that comes to mind is Axolotl Slosh with the sunglasses that I think actually you drew of xem? it's very cool

...this was actually more thoughts than I expected! huh

Demigod AU Part Two

After very popular demand (almost 200 notes in less than a day, multiple asks and a TON of reviews. I would go into battle for every single one of you) I am continuing this AU! Here we have Deceit/Dennis, Remus, and the man himself, Thomas! At some point I'll throw Remy and Emile onto the pile (I'm such a sucker for Remile) but I might do some fics and stuff first.

Also! I've gotten quite a few asks on this same topic, so I'll just answer it here. YES IT IS OKAY TO MAKE FANART AND SUCH OF THIS. Fics in this universe, art, asking about it, sharing your headcanons, I will actually cry if you make it. Please tag me in it or send it to me!

Also, here's the link to the Core Four if you haven't read them yet: X

DENNIS HAILEY (14)

Son of Apate, goddess of fraud, deceit, trickery, and lies.

Children of Apate aren't known as being powerful in a flashy way. They can't raise the dead, or summon hurricanes, or call lightning from the sky. Their powers are incredibly subtle.

Obviously they can lie their way out of almost any situation, they can blend into crowds easily, they can sense weakness, motivation, and lies. They can twist people's words around.

But just as some children have Aphrodite have charmspeak and some children of Hephaestus can control fire, certain children of Apate have another ability I'm calling Mimicry.

They can take on the form of another person to a level somewhere between an illusion and shapeshifting (meaning they can get stuff wrong), and mimic some speech patterns, quirks, and mannerisms. But not memories.

Dennis uses a rapier. The handle is black, but the area around the handle is gold (if you look up a rapier you'll know what I mean). The blade itself is the usual celestial bronze. That's his signature weapon but he's also good with various knives and daggers, including throwing knives.

He has black hair like Logan, but his eyes are grey, and he has a nasty scar on the side of his face from when him and Patton were fighting a monster before Talyn found them.

He's even shorter than Patton, but he's also not done growing yet, so cut him some slack.

Okay now the good stuff. You already read the gist of his back story with Patton, but once Patton got claimed their stories kind of separated.

See after Patton got claimed Dennis was still stuck in the Hermes cabin for a while. But while Patton was getting to know his other siblings, Dee was kinda left behind.

He took care of the rest of the distance when he was claimed by Apate.

It's a mostly one sided hate, because despite what Dennis has done, Patton just can't bring himself to hate his brother. And, no matter what he tells people Dennis really just misses his big brother but feels betrayed and can't risk that.

So instead he befriended a son of Eris, a boy also scorned by his brother (more on him soon). Although honestly, it's more like Dennis is the one keeping the older boy even semi under control.

Other than that, Dennis is still the manipulative, lying, GOOD INTENTIONED snek we all know and love.

He still causes chaos, but he's kind of true Neutral.

He's like this because that's how he came to believe was necessary for survival.

He was a child of the god of lies.

They wanted a snake?

He'd give them a snake.

But Patton won't give up on Dee. So maybe, just maybe, Dennis won't give up on himself either

Random fact: One night (after Dennis was out of the infirmary for his injury) while the Hailey boys were still in the Hermes cabin, Patton and Dennis managed to sneak into the kitchen and Patton made chocolate chip cookies. Much to his annoyance, even to this day Dennis's ambrosia and nectar tend to taste like those cookies.

REMUS DUX (15)

Son of Eris, goddess of strife and discord

Remus is stronger in chaotic times, can create a golden apple that can cause people to fight over it, and cause fights between weaker-willed people.

His most powerful ability is a Strife Storm which causes things within it to break, change, or warp.

Remus uses a mace. Plot twist, right? He uses a sword more often than his signature weapon though.

The Mace is black with green designs on the handle. The head is celestial bronze, but Remus painted it black.

By the way, the following actually happened:

Thomas: What do you have?

Remus running wildly: A MACE!

Thomas: NO!

Roman: Oh my gods, why does he have a mace.

Remus has Auburn hair like Roman, but has black eyes and dyed lime green streaks into it.

He and Roman are the exact same height, and this annoys the shit out of both of them.

So now the family stuff. It seems complicated but it's really not, I swear.

So remember Roman's mom? So she met Apollo and had Roman.

But on the exact same day as Roman, Remus appeared on the doorstep of Mr. Dux. He knew it was his child, based on the note from Eris. So yes, the two have the exact same birthday.

But THEN, like not even a year later, Ms. Prince and Mr. Dux met and soon, they got married.

Roman and Remus got along like real brothers, and were the best of friends. Until, they were six years old.

You may remember that six years old was the first summer the boys arrived at Camp Half-Blood.

Roman was claimed practically as soon as they crossed the border. Remus was claimed in a few weeks, but during those weeks something...something happened to him.

He began to...change.

He began to become more chaotic, cruel, just plain old mean.

Roman was trying so hard to excuse this. Maybe his brother just missed their parents? Maybe if he spent more time with Remus than his cabin mates?

But then Remus was claimed, and Roman finally snapped, turning his back on his brother for good.

This was the last straw for Remus too.

The two finally decided, subconsciously and unanimously, that despite their parents love for both of them, despite their marriage, despite their childhood, they were no longer brothers.

Both boys cried that night.

But now Remus channels his energy into destruction, pranks, and honestly horrible things.

Dennis is quite honestly the only thing keeping him from actually killing someone.

That orthux that attacked Logan? That was Remus.

The forest incident? Roman definitely suspects Remus, and Remus certainly isn't denying it. But no one knows for sure.

Random fact: Remus loves bananas, and of his favorite things to do is eat a banana and leave it on the floor of the dining pavilion right before the dinner rush and watch an unsuspecting demigod slip and fall.

THOMAS SANDERS (20)

Son of Iris, goddess of the rainbow

Okay I know what you're thinking, but I SWEAR this isn't a gay joke. Honestly it started that way but I did actual research and I decided to actually keep it.

Okay so children of Iris have good communication skills, are often nice and good at making friends, are creative, have good color coordination, and are good with animals. Sounding familiar yet? YUP IT SOUNDS LIKE THOMAS FUCKING SANDERS.

Sorry I'm just so excited this worked out so perfectly.

Anyway onto the next part: powers.

Thomathy over here has the power to generate and manipulate light and color, he can change the color of things with just a touch (people suspect he's behind Virgil's black Camp t-shirts), he can see the whole spectrum of light (thankfully he can turn this on and off), and because he's special, he can summon rainbow wings that he can use to fly.

Thomas uses a bow and arrow. There isn't much special about them. It's a recurve bow that's a magenta color, the feathers on his arrows are all different colors, the arrowheads are celestial bronze but there are celestial bronze bits on the ends of his bow just in case a monster decides to get up close and personal.

He has a short sword as well, but he prefers to use the bow.

Thomas looks the same as our Thomas: brown hair, brown eyes, 5’10” (177 cm), etc.

Thomas honestly has a pretty good family life, and actually has been known to bring campers home with him for a week or so if needed? His family is welcome at camp, people call Mama Sanders “mom” even more often than they do Logan, it's pretty amazing.

As for demigod stuff, well Thomas was on watch for a while.

He was special for a child of Iris already (the wings ain't normal), but his best friend and his protector (Joan obviously) could tell he had potential to be a leader and a role model for all the kids at camp.

So at twelve, Thomas arrived at Camp Half Blood for his first day at camp.

He wasn't the best when it came to the physical attributes. He could fight, otherwise he'd be dead by now, but he wasn't exactly gifted at it.

Yet somehow he was counselor of the Iris cabin by the time he was 15?

He is just great at making friends. Even the Ares cabin likes him! He can actually talk them down!

No one understands it!

Literally the only one he can't control is Remus.

Soon, Dionysus was able to somehow cut a deal that got him out of camp director. That title went to Chiron and Thomas, at age 18, became the activities counselor, taking over Chiron's now vacant spot.

Literally the entire camp cheered when this happened.

There wasn't a single un happy camper in sight.

Random Fact: Thomas's eyes actually change color sometimes, like a holographic image. They're usually brown, but campers swear they've seen them multiple other colors, even colors that shouldn't be possible like red and purple.
