Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

[domina-honoribila]

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.

I’m fond of the idea that BBAU Bruce is initially taken aback by Danny’s hostile snark the first time he hears it.

Which is not to say he doesn’t know Danny’s a bit of a sass meister, period. Just that his usual exposure to Danny’s range of snark is from a lighthearted place. Usually when he’s giving Bruce or Alfred a hard time, but doesn’t actually mean anything out of it. Which his tone and language usually reflect.

It doesn’t consciously occur to him that his kid could use his smart-mouth for violence until it’s already happening and the words are out in the air.

Danny (to someone else): wow. i thought you’d be jailbirding it up with your tax fraud friend. Doesn’t your type travel in herds?

Bruce (somewhere nearby): *record_scratch.wav*

Bruce: hold on—

(The part of his brain that processes everything at mach speed is instantly going “oh this makes sense” moments after the shock hits)

[ailithnight]

Okay, but that is such a sick burn. And, given who it would likely be leveled at (ie, some socialite/business asshole), betcha Bruce is fighting for his life not to laugh.

I don't have the words for this but. Art and science are always hand in hand.

The perfectionism of artists has them researching stuff in a way that only scientists can compare. Some artists become experts in biology or anatomy. Other special interests have them going down rabbit holes to make them better at their art.

Disney animators said "we are perfecting the code for this snow if it kills us" and researched and invented code until it acted like real snow in Frozen and snow scientists were like hey. Did we just fucking solve the Dyatlov Pass mystery. And the animators answered no. We made snow. YOU applied the knowledge and did the experiments to solve what could have happened at Dyatlov Pass.

And it was a team effort because of course it was. You can't have art without science. And you can't have science without art.

[ailithnight]

Many times, artists and researchers come from the same fundamental passion.

A deep, intense, reverent love for the world — or at least some aspect of it.

A love for the way snow falls and birds call and water flows and trees grow and the sun shines and words rhyme and the universe spins and people live.

The love of an artist for their subject is just the same as a researcher's for theirs.

They say to be loved is to be known.

So naturally those that love the world would seek, in some way, to know it.

D'ya think when Bumi eventually passed away, Aang had a long sit with the realization that he's the last person who remembers the world before the war?

That there's no one left who knew him before?

Does he sit there, grieving the loss of his good friend, and realizing all over again that he's 100 years outside of his time and what that means?

This is not a place of honor.

[skipppppy]

So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like it’s morally righteous to force yourself to work while you’re sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. That’d be great

[skipppppy]

The leader of the scout group I help out at approached me out of hours while I was walking to work to tell me that people have been talking behind my back because I missed more sessions than I attended this term (on account of having Covid twice) and was like “We all show up when we’re sick because we take responsibility” and I felt really shitty and guilty and cried the whole workday then I got home and told my mum and she was like “So they want you to throw up on the kids? That’s dodgy. They don’t even pay you. Stop going” and a wave of serenity hit me like a bus

[ailithnight]

Pretty sure the concept of laziness was invented by the ruling class to shame the working class for having lives, limits, and needs outside of serving the elite.

[starry-bi-sky]

,,,one of my favorite niche details for WTNS is that, since Danny’s ghost is permanently 11 (unless he intentionally shapeshifts to look older, which he didn’t to keep his identity safe) it then implies that Vlad’s ghost is forever a 20 year old college sophomore,,, unless he shapeshifts otherwise

[ailithnight]

Have you ever been in a harried rush trying to get somewhere on time and you end up forgetting something important or putting something on wrong/backwards?

What if he usually maintains a shapeshift to be older (more experienced, more fatherly), but once in a blue moon when Danny really gets the upper hand on him, the shift slips. There's nothing quite like watching a 40 year old lose so bad to an 11 year old that he throws a tantrum about it and suddenly he's 20.

[json-derulo]

they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is

[json-derulo]

your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champ—your VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a ✨secret✨

[json-derulo]

do you know your blood type??

yes, I'm certain of it

I think my family told me what it was but I'm not sure/no recent test to confirm

no, I have no clue

I don't have blood/results

I kinda hate it when people go "heroes would not be shocked by Danny being cloned etc etc because they have had more wild things happen to them!" Because this is Danny Fenton saying this most of the time. If it was Danny Phantom, small town ghost hero with superpowers saying this then yeah I can see why u refuse to suspend disbelief. But like when its civilian nobody Danny Fenton, I get it. Like none of this bullshit is supposed to happen to him, and not often enough for the casualness he displays in these prompts.

Like if you learn Jim the zoo keeper got his ribs broken from a zebra kick it would be worrying, but hazards of the job. But if u learned joe the accountant, who's nearest zoo with zebras is an hour and a half drive away and has never stepped in one besides got four broken ribs and a punctured lung from a zebra kick u would be loosing u're mind too. And imagine he got mauled by a tiger too at a different incident and THATS why he's not in shock with the zebra thing. I would bubble wrap the man. I would start side eyeing the pigeons. I would never take joe on a hike.

[ailithnight]

I mean, frankly even with Phantom, if you're going with small town Amity Park, you're still gonna get a bit of that.

Especially with cloning. Like, not just any old rogue has the resources and/or expertise to pull that off. That's, like, major supervillain type plot. So it begs the question, what's an A tier supervillain doing fighting a dead prepubescent teenager in Small Town, Midwest, USA?

Imagine if Joe the Accountant's neighbor, Bob the Animal Control Officer, tells about the time he had to wrestle a chimpanzee in their hometown of Rawlins, Wyoming; as explanation for why he's not really fazed about this whole Zebra thing.

In my mind, the way WTNS! badger cereal works, pre-deaths of the Fentons, is that Danny could nearly cut off Vlad’s hand in a fight,

Like sever that shit to the last tendon,

And there’s a 60-70% chance that instead of being furious, like any other reasonable supervillain or adversary would be,

Vlad would, instead, just coo. At Danny. Utterly pleased with himself, and not dissimilar to the way a parent croons at their baby pointing at something. Spit out some shit like, "Aw, well done, my dear." while examining his hand.

And then resume the fight.

This, understandably, infuriates Danny. And also inevitably fucks with his head in seeeeveral different ways that we won't see the consequences of until waaaay down the line, when it's too late to prevent it, and instead must be corrected.

[ailithnight]

What wins out; Danny's hatred of Vlad or his need for someone's approval? An perhaps more importantly, how vicious is the internal fight between those feelings?

[nanenna]

Prompt: Danny Fenton Todd

Jason is just chilling in a safe house at home when an ominous swirling green portal opens in the middle of his living room and several beings with giant eyeballs for heads pull a trussed up teen through.

Freaky eyeball: "Congratulations, revenant, you have been chosen to be the abom- I mean... the halfa's new guardian."

Jason: the fuck did he just call this kid?!

The eyeballs then promptly leave, the teen still trussed up in the middle of his living room. Jason unties the kid and sets about interrogating the kid because wtf. Jason finds out:

Kid's name is Danny

He's 15

He has no family or home to return to

He is a half ghost and has all the ghost powers that come with that.

Jason had an older brother once, his name was Danny, he was 15 when he died. Jason looks at Danny: black hair, blue eyes, simmering rage, gaunt corpse-like features. Yeah, this could work.

"Roy! I need a favor. I need you to hire someone to dig up my brother's coffin and transport it out of Gotham and, this is important, it needs to be super obvious until it's out of Gotham. Then Batman needs to lose all trace. Got it? Good. Okay kid, you need to turn invisible and stay invisible while I go steal a plane."

Cut to Batfam PoV, where Jason suddenly leaves town with no explanation, then the next day his older brother's corpse gets stolen ("Jason had an older brother?!") which Bruce fears is a sign their IDs have been compromised. They try to figure out what's going on but the corpse trail goes cold outside Gotham and Jason isn't answering any calls. He's all over Eurasia, fighting all kinds of people, even ending up in a few LoA bases. He finally stops at Nanda Parbat (to intro Danny to the remnants of the All Caste, but the batfam doesn't know that) before stealing yet another plane and heading back to Gotham.

"Hey everyone, this is my big brother Danny. No, we will not be taking questions at this time. C'mon, Danny, I'm exhausted, let's go home."

[touchofhemlocktea]

I'm imagining Danny just getting dragged along, not really understanding anything that's going on, but his core trusts this guy, so he'll go along with things until he gets his head on straight.

[nanenna]

My idea is Jason is explaining some things during the travel time at least. The flights over the Atlantic alone are hours of uninterrupted explanation time. He should at the very least be explaining Danny's new backstory and anything he would be expected to explain to his brother upon being revived.

Now, DP and DC being 2 different universes and Danny having no idea who Batman (or Superman or Wonder Woman...) are and not bothering to ask could definitely leave Danny even more confused.

[touchofhemlocktea]

I've always preferred separated universes anyway because a, at least by appearance, unmentored teenage hero should draw attention in dc, especially post justice league founding, unless you give a really good explanation.

[nanenna]

It absolutely should! But personally I'm torn for narrative reasons. If they're different universes there is no Danny Fenton for the Bats to eventually dig up. There's no billionaire Vlad Masters out there searching for his missing godson, putting up wanted posters and Danny's face on every milk carton (he doesn't care if they don't do that anymore, he's paying them to do it!)

On the one hand if you don't want that complication that's fine, there's plenty of drama to go around as is (especially if the reason Danny has no home to go to is his whole universe got blown up by the GIW). But on the other hand there's the drama of one (or more) of the Bats seeing their new brother's face on a missing poster and knowing that now they have to go tell Jason his brother isn't actually his brother after all.

[ailithnight]

Separate universes or not, the first complication that comes to mind is that there will be DNA tests. Even if Jason says he already did them, Bruce at minimum is paranoid enough to do them again. Tim might also. If only to have a thorough medical file on the Batcomputer in case of emergency.

Anyway, there will be DNA tests and I'm pretty sure a total lack of genetic relation to Jason, Catherine, Shelia, or Willis would be a rather notable discrepancy.

[redrosesshadowwolf]

Considering Jason was kinda just dropped off with Willis as a baby, they could always argue Danny had been as well, and turns out, Willis wasn't the father after all, who would have thought. Sucks for him.

[ailithnight]

Oh, the point wasn't that there was no explanation. It's more like nanenna was talking about with how putting DC in a separate universe removes certain DP elements that could otherwise be used to create conflict in the story.

For narrative purposes, assuming the end goal of this story would be for the rest of the Bats to learn the truth, there needs to be 'complications.' Cracks in the story that the Bats can question. Clues.

And even if each crack on it's own has an explanation, just having a lot of them pile up over time will steadily weaken the cover story. Until a shift in perspective allows all those ill fitting pieces to snap into place, the lies fall away, and the big picture resolve into truth.

And I figured one of the first cracks to come up would be the DNA mismatch.
