Here's my method.

Traumatize them first, then write an AU of the original where everything went right. Makes the trauma hit so much sweeter when you have concrete knowledge of what the characters could have had.

(In other words, i have an "everybody lives" AU of my own original work sitting 40% developed at the back of my head and im seriously considering writing it as a what-if spinoff after the actual series is done. Mostly because my found-family loving ass wants to make the found family bigger and not traumatized.)

Me: how do you think I would do XYZ story-wise?

Friend:

Friend: *hands on my shoulders* Have you considered not traumatizing your readers?

Me: no

Me: wait. Was that an option

the fact that alfred was the one to put up jason's memorial is so important to me

[thenightwolf51]

yayyyy mutuals hiiiiiiiii reblog if you love your mutualssssssss hiii mutuals

Thinking about the fact that a lamb is just a baby sheep and that led to connecting how everyone calls them Lamb to how everyone calls Frances "Baby" and now im thinking about a Dirty Dancing CotL Au with the Lamb as Baby and Narinder as Patrick Swayze's character.

"No body puts Lamb in a corner"

[thenightwolf51]

I have an extremely important question.

In the 4th picture is the shitten saying "baba" just as baby babble or is it saying "baba" as in the term for dad. Because the idea that sheep culture use ba and baba to refer to their parents is adorable to me.

Both because of course sheep go "baaah" but also since its an actual real life alternative for dada and papa

Sometimes in art streams to take a break I'll draw Narilamb shitten shenangians, which consist of two routes: either they have to make that thang at home or they get it via some magical way idk

I don't have a shitten design and none of this is canon to my AU, it's just for hypothetical shits n giggles

Part two here of more shitten shenanigans

[thenightwolf51]

Heket and Webber have fallen in love in my game and i find this amusing for two reasons.

One, some spiders keep frogs around as pets/roommates to eat tiny pests.

Two, and this is a major one. Webber has the "Don't Starve" trait meaning my dude cant die from starvation. Heket as a bishop was know as "She of Famine" and is starving when you recruit her.

I feels almost fitting that the former god of famine has a love that isnt effected by hunger.

Even if you consider that maybe the Fenton's enlarged their doors for Jacks height, the standard height of a kitchen counter is only 36 inches which still puts Danny at 3'4 with maybe an extra inch

why is he like 6 apples tall

[thenightwolf51]

At first all i was gonna add was that maybe Bruce and Diana suspect that Danny is the ghost of a teen haunting the trash can his body was thrown in and are vengefully trying to figure out/solve his murder. But then i read that last bit and it killed me (wonderful job as always @ailithnight)

So now i desperately need Deadman to come in, recognize the signs of whats going on with Danny, and explain it to the Leaguers who know Danny's there.

And then while everyone tries to help Danny heal and mourn, i want Danny's haunt to very slowly spread until it becomes the entire Watchtower (because Space ancient!). Like a representation of him starting to get better, to go from a trash can and two little blobs (minimal, simplistic, easy to protect, he wont mess up this time) to an entire space station full of heros and aliens and some that almost remind Danny of himself.

Maybe some of them are still trying to solve his suspected "murder" or maybe that would be better of as its own separate prompt?

So I read a prompt about how Wonder Woman found Danny in a trash can (don’t remember which one) and I was bored.

So I took that lil info and made it into an AU.

So basically, Danny get yeeted into this unknown universe and has no where to live. And no where to live means no money. No money means no food. No food means Danny can’t keep his human half sustained.

So what does he do?

Decides to not change into a human and live in a trash can.

Yes you heard that right, live in a trash can.

Because he’s a ghost, he doesn’t have to worry about the germs and stuff. But that doesn’t mean he lives in just any trash can! He lives in a clean one ☝️

AND he also decorated it with his name so other people know it’s his!

And so Danny has been here for a while now and realizes

Holy shit there’s hero’s here- you know what, why doesn’t he have hero’s back home?!

And being minorly annoyed jealous (but he’s never admitting that)he thought:

Well since there’s hero’s here already, guess I’m not needed.

.

.

.

Good. I’m tired af

And so Danny caries on his life, being content with his trash can and scaring whoever comes into his alley. It’s fun. Sure he sometimes needs to ugh overshadow people to feed his human side, but other than that.

It’s going great.

But Danny doesn’t realize that with Amity gone (or smth, you choose) which was his haunt, he slowly makes the trash can into his new haunt.

And slowly but surely, Danny’s beloved haunt trash can starts to become other worldly kinda.

Yk because of the ectoplasm.

So now Danny’s lovely trash can haunt has more space inside and- Hey Danny can actually sleep in it better!! And he got some company too!

In the form of blob ghosts.

Two actually.

They keep his trash can clean and help purifying some corrupted ectoplasm that he finds. Because for some reason this universe’s ectoplasm seems half way artificial and tastes a bit weird. Which is where the blob ghosts help out in.

Everything was great.

Danny was loving the trash can life style.

He has two blob ghosts friends. Which he named Sam and Tucker, and yea they couldn’t talk but that was fine.

He wasn’t lonely, he wasn’t. He had two very much talking friends like Sam and Tucker.

However one day two weirdly dressed people- oh they were hero’s.

Well anyway they found him, one woman stripper and one furry guy.

But it was on accident! He was just peaking out of his beloved haunt trash can, and they spotted him.

He stared, they stared back.

Then the woman stripper asked him questions, even when he said:

“Don’t mind me, have a nice day!”

But they just kept bother him and giving him weird looks and glances.

Which- rude.

Didn’t they see his mark on his haunt trash can? Obviously it means it’s his home, so they shouldn’t be bothering him still. He’s safe as can be.

Plus.

It’s not like he’s looking at them in suspicion and weirdness, I mean look at them! What kinda cheep knock off vampire fury mix and American stripper style clothing are those!

They should mind their own business!

Just a silly lil drawing of this lmao, don’t mind me.

It wasn’t supposed to be a secret.

If you died while with the league, you will no longer be acknowledged to have existed, especially if you died during a mission. A disappointment will not be remembered.

The bats and birds don’t like speaking about the people they have lost, so they don’t. If someone ask about the dead, they will tell the person they don’t talk about that.

So how was Damian supposed to know that he should have told his father about his dead brother?

[thenightwolf51]

Demon Twin AU but Damian has been seeing ghostly visages of his twin slowly growing up with him

So, the Danny Damian Twin AUs! They're fun!

But what if, when Danny fakes his death/is killed, he actually dies and becomes a halfa as a kid? Danny because he is Danny, has the great idea to live a double life upon figuring out he can be both ghost and human!

As a human, he goes to America where he gets adopted by the Fentons and live as Danny Fenton

I headcanon that halfas are very adaptable and basically get powers according to their needs. So he figures out how to portal.

As a ghost, Danny stays around Damian and helps him out. Sometimes he slips up and Damian sees Phantom right next to him.

To Damian, this is the Pit Ghost of his brother who has come back to haunt him, made even worse when he realizes that Danny is also growing exactly at the rate he was despite being dead. He thinks that Dannys last wish was to grow up with Damian that's why he's doing that.

It gets even worse for Damian when he realizes the ghost of his dead twin brother has been helping him invisibly the entire time and it's possible that that's why Danny's staying around

Now, I need you to picture one of the Batfam seeing Danny

Imagine them asking him about it

Imagine Damian having to explain that the ghost of his dead brother sometimes accompanies him

Of course, on Danny's human side of things, the Fentons finally made that portal and he has to take up being a hero in Amity Park. Meaning he has less time to look over Damian.

What does this look like to Damian?

It looks like his brother is fading away slowly because Danny's decided Damian is now in a safe place

This all comes to a head when Danny disappears for a long time, long enough for Damian to think he's gone gone

And then Danny comes back and he's injured or maybe he has a baby Ellie and for the first time in years actually talks to Damian and asks for help

[thenightwolf51]

Not sure which one id prefer if it ever happened.

But i have an idea for gameplay. imagine we revive the lamb species by going to sites of great tragedy during the genocide to find lamb bones and taking them back to base for resurrection. Some could come out as regular followers but a few could be special NPCs with unique lore or storylines.

[thenightwolf51]

I drew Poppy from @spooky-pop 's PopPunk Au at work, its a slow day

[thenightwolf51]

Me: I'm tired

My brain at 2 am:

Bruce adopts recently orphaned Danny.

Overdone. Overused. Still beloved.

Danny adopts recently orphanded Bruce.

Bruce's right to his wealth and title in question due to his parents not updating their wills. Instead, forgetting they put Danny as beneficiary years before Bruce was born. Danny, being Thomas' distant cousin that he loved like a brother. They grew up apart in Adult Hood, which why Thomas forgot.

Now Danny has to raise a traumatized little boy while everyone around them - including Alfred - thinks he will scam Bruce of his inheritance.

Glorious. The potential. The struggle. The slight attraction between overprotective Butler and New Master of the house.

Me: Please let me rest.

[thenightwolf51]

I love it! Once he reforms Danny could get a health check up in the cave, Frostbite visits to check the state of his ghost half and Alfred can help fill in the blanks of his knowledge for Danny's human half.

Also i went and read the first part and i agree with Dick and Cass about it being a nice love story. The fact that Doll Danny is dressed as a king make me think this is ghost king au and a king trapped in a doll rescued and charished by a young "knight" is delightfully fairy tale esque.

been thinking bout Jason’s doll like Jason won’t let any of the Batfam live down the fact that he was right when Danny reforms however none of them are going to let go of the fact that Danny being half dead did in fact make the doll haunted

It's alarming how obviously haunted Jason's doll is. Now that he had introduced him to the rest of the family, Jason seemed to go nowhere without Danny.

He was there, sitting on Jason's lap at meal times, leaning against the pillows whenever they sat down in the movie room, and wearing his own little goggles when Jason went for a ride on his bike. Danny was there whenever Jason was heading off to bed, curling around the porcelain toy like a child.

Hell, Tim is pretty sure he saw Jason walk out of the bathroom after a shower with Danny tucked under his arm once.

He understands Bruce's worry about how attached Jason seems to be to Danny. The only time he ever left Danny behind was to run around as Red Hood, but even then he insisted that Danny have his own communicator.

It had looked rather silly on the doll- Dick had to duck tap it to Danny's head since there was no ear to push into- but that did not stop Jason from consistently narrating what he was doing and speaking to Danny.

Tim had just been thinking of turning off his communicator when a series of whispers bursted to life in his ear. He had nearly missed a step when jumping to the next roof, heart pounding in his chest as a instantal fear dug into his core.

A second later, he could wrangle the fear into something manageable, thanks to his training. He hears his various siblings doing the same through the coms as Jason laughs "You said it, Doll."

"That was Doll!?" Steph exclaims in Tim's ear. There is a tremble in her voice that he relates to.

"Yeah, isn't he hilarious?" Jason responds with a chuckle. Then, another series of fast-past whispers—sounding like more than one person—is heard, and Jason roars with laughter.

Tim shivers, reaching up to switch off his com. At once, Babs remotely turns it back on. "Saftey protocols state these stay on due to Two-Face's escape."

Rats.

Tim tries his best to finish the rest of his patrol, only occasionally jumping at Danny's random burst of whispers. He stops two carjackers and a mugging and finds some clues as to where Harvey may have hidden.

It's a long night despite the slow crime, or maybe it's due to the lack of sleep catching up to him, but when Tim returns to manor he is half dead on his feet.

He barely has the mind to write up his report for the night and stumbles upstairs, peeling his costume off as he goes. Just as he can spot the doorway of his old room, Tim can feel his eyelids sliding close.

There is only a silver of sight now because he forces them to not close completely through sheer will power

He fumbles for the handle of the door leaning heavily against the wood, when he realizes he's not entirely alone in the hallway. He glances in the direction in what he assumed was Dick- as his brother's old room is also on down this hall- and is shock when he makes eye contact with someone he does not know.

It's a handsome boy. One that he's seen very clearly in a photo.

Freezing, Tim dares not to even breathe as Danny tilts his head and carefully floats over to him. There is a semi-see-through effect going on with his body, but it does not draw away to Danny's concern experssion.

Tim's heart is beating a mile a minute. Crude, had he taken in fear gas at some point?

Danny pauses, inches from his face, staring intently. Tim can barely breathe, so scared his arms and legs feel like lead. Ice runs through his viens and Tim has half the mind to think This is it. This is how I die. before Danny reachs out and touches him.

More specficelly he picks Tim up like a bag of grapes and throws open the door. The ghost carries his horrified form to the bed, tucking him gently before petting his hair.

"Good..night..sleep..tight…love…you...Tim. Sleep...well.," Danny whispers, the words just barely audible with the strange overwhelming mutters of unknown voices. The ghost turns around and flouts right through Tim's door. A few seconds later, it, slightly becomes ajar due to a doll leaning on it.

Its unblinking eyes stare deep into Tim's soul. He whimpers and clings to the blanket hard.

Tim isn't sure, but he gets the sense Danny is laughing at him.
