The Horrors Persist But So Do I

DC x DP but it's just Danny being the universe's punching bag (we're looking at you, Clockwork)

Edit: This is now posted on Ao3!! Enjoy!

"You're wondering why my parents are making deals with a well-known terrorist, anti-alien enthusiast, meta-human antagonist, and warmonger? Yeah me too," Danny said, pulling out something from the fridge. "Orange juice?"

Batman couldn't help the blink of surprise at the boy's lack of tact. "You don't seem surprised at their behavior."

"Nope," He said popping the 'p' and sipping his orange juice. "They do that a lot."

Once again, Batman blinked in shock. "Make deals with terrorists?"

This was a lot worse than they were expecting...

"Yup. Terrorists, villains, corrupt government agencies. You name it, they've done it."

Batman stared at the glass of orange juice Danny was holding out to him. Numbly, he took it. Then, "Why have you not reported them?"

Danny laughed. It was dry and humorless. "Report them? You're kidding right?"

At Batman's silence, Danny continued.

"Not kidding, then. Sir, with absolutely no respect, the Justice League hasn't helped in worse situations in the past. Why would I expect help now?"

Well. That.

Batman will have to raincheck on Dick's insistence on family movie night.

Turning back to Danny, orange juice held in his hands like it was a bomb, Batman spoke, "Tell me everything."

Damian: Father, I require assistance. Batman: Is this about the exploding Lazarus pit again? Damian: Worse.

(Danny phases through the Batcave ceiling holding a glowing smoothie.)

Danny: Hey dad, hey grandpa. Raven says if you keep stress-brooding you’re gonna throw your back out by age fifty-two.

Batman: … Damian: … Batman: Explain.

Danny: Oh right. Hi. I’m Danny. I’m your future grandson from, like, twenty years ahead. Mom sent me back because dad accidentally started an interdimensional incident trying to prove he could “totally beat Constantine in a magic duel.”

Damian: I would never— Danny: You absolutely would. I have video proof.

Batman: Raven is the mother?

Danny: Yeah. You guys were terrifyingly in love. Whole “darkness and violence but secretly soft for each other” thing. Really gross honestly.

Damian: Father, destroy him.

Danny: Can’t. Genetic immunity. Also grandma Talia already tried.

Batman: …Talia knows?

Danny: Oh yeah. She loves me. Calls me “the tolerable Wayne.”

Damian: I despise this timeline.

Danny: That’s okay. Mom said you’d say that. Dad cried when I inherited her empathy and your anger issues though.

Batman: already opening the contingency files

Danny: Don’t bother. I inherited ghost powers from a lab accident too.

Batfamily watching from the security cameras

Jason: “Oh thank God, Damian finally got humbled.” Tim: “The glowing kid called Bruce grandpa and Bruce didn’t deny it.” Dick: “HE CAN PHASE THROUGH WALLS?!” Cass: silent delighted thumbs up Steph: “Future goth divorce baby speedrun any%.”

thank you dc for giving us this shot TWICE

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

Not Human: DPxDC

“Danno!” Jack Fenton boomed, “Come down here!”

“Coming!” Danny shouted back, putting the model rocket he was working on down on his desk and walking down the stairs till he was in the living room with the rest of the Fenton family

“What’s up, Dad?” Danny asked, Jack looking like an overeager puppy—well, more so than usual, that is.

“My brother John is coming over!” Jack grinned, “You’ll like him, a good fella!”

“We have an Uncle?” Jazz raised an eyebrow, “I didn’t know Grandma Janice had a son besides Dad,”

“Your Grandmother had married an English man sometime after your grandfather died, but they’d gotten divorced, and your Uncle John had gone with his father back to England.” Maddie explained, “He didn’t ever get along with your father much,”

“But now we’ll get the chance to move past our childhood squabbles and become the brothers we should’ve always been!” Jack grinned, “You’ll love your Uncle Connie!”

“Connie?” Danny asked in confusion, “I thought his name was John?”

“John Constantine,” Maddie clarified, “He took his father’s name when your grandmother went back to her previous marriage’s one,”

“When’s he going to be here?” Jazz questioned right before the doorbell rang.

Jack sprung up, “There he is!”

Bounding towards the door, the orange-clad man threw open the front door and wrapped his arms around whoever was there in a large hug.

“Johnny!” Jack exclaimed, “How are you, buddy?!”

“Get off me!” A British voice yelped, “I can’t breathe, ya bloody idiot!”

Jack let go and a blonde man in a trench coat fell to the floor, coughing slightly as he stood up.

“Fuckin’ shit,” The man looked rough, greasy blond hair and a stubble of a beard all while smelling of cigarette smoke and faintly of alcohol.

The man glanced at Maddie, “You’re Maddie, right? Jack’s wife,”

“That’s me,” Maddie smiled as she held out her hand as he took it to shake.

“John Constantine,” He grunted, “This buffoon’s half brother,”

The man suddenly made eye contact with Danny and his eyes went wide at the same time Danny felt his core shutter.

John cleared his throat, “Guessin’ your Danny?”

Danny nodded, “Uh, yeah,”

The two shook hands, both thinking the same thought.

This one is NOT human

Forgot to post it on here as well, but did a quick drawing of D the other day!

[alien-slushie]

Paul, the receptionist: Welcome to introvert daycare!

Jon: Jonathan Kent here to drop off my depressed introvert!

Damian: I feel like I should be insulted, but I see cats inside so I'm going to let it go.

Paul: Just take him right inside Mr. Kent. Next!

Tucker: Tucker Foley! Here to drop off my depressed inteovert!

Paul: I see Mr. Foley.....and where-

Tucker, points down: That's him on the floor!

Danny, laying face down on the floor: For some reason these floors are more comfortable than most floors.

Tucker: All floors are great, silly.

Paul: Alright, you're all clear just head on in! Next please!

Zatanna: Zatanna Zatara, here to drop off-

Constantine: I'm a grown man, you bloody idiot!

Zatanna, whispering: Yeah, I sprang for the grumpy package.

Paul, whispering: Down the hall and on your left.

Zatanna: Thank you so much. Hey Constantine, look over there, booze!

Constantine: Where? Mine! Mine!

Remeber how Nightwing’s very first run ended?

[weaver-z]

My stomach hurts because I can't stop laughing at a Reddit thread where someone asked for help identifying their "not dead" plant that could not more clearly be dead if it were found in a pharaoh's tomb

[weaver-z]

Some more stellar comments from the jesters at r/whatsthisplant

[alien-slushie]

Dick: Ah Uh You- random guy- come with me!*grabs Danny's wrist and pulls him along*

Danny, shrugging: Sure okay.

Dick, pausing: "Okay"?! This is Gotham! Don't just listen to weirdos who randomly grab you off the street.

Danny: But whatever you were doing seemed way more interesting than meeting my weird godfather for dinner.

Dick: Regardless- have more respect for your life!

Danny: *snorts*

Dick: Now let's go!*starts pulling Danny again*

Third time the charm?

You guys know those AUs where Damian and Danny are twins, know about each other, and prank the Batfamily by switching places?

Or maybe they pretend that Danny was always there, and "how could you forget about your other son/brother?! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" deal?

Well

What if Danny couldn't stay in Amity anymore? What if he was forced to leave everything behind, leaving a family that he knew he loved, but couldn't say for sure they loved him back?

His twin was his last option, the first family that left him behind.

It was with delight that he found out that he had changed. The whole family was cautious at first, but quickly warmed up to him, and so did Danny.

He gave up the hero life, hoping to finally finish school and try to achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut!

And then, one morning, he woke up with everybody staring at him in the living room.

He looked around, confused.

"Morning?"

"...morning?" Tim answered him cautiouslly. Bruce stepped forward.

"Excuse me, could I ask you as to why you are in our house?"

Danny looked around in confusion.

"Shouldn't I be here? You've all been gone for a mission the past week, if you needed me somewhere, you've could've texted me dad"

Bruce's mouth thinned in a line and the silence stretches enough for Danny to understand.

"Oh... You don't..."

It's an awful sensation to suddenly feel your throat tighten up.

"You told me it was a timeline issue, you don't... "

And just like that, Danny found his third family leaving him behind.

Or

Due to the time amulet, Danny wasn't affected by the timeline rewrite, keeping all of his memories, while being forgotten by everybody else.

have you guys heard about the greenland shark. some crazy shit happening there.

[venndaai]

they are sexually mature at ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS OLD.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

ma'am you are delightfully strange and I'm privileged to share a planet with you

[fluorescentbrains]

this post prompted me to refresh my memory on Greenland Shark Facts and this detail about how they feed goes so hard

just vacuuming up their unsuspecting prey. whole !

[muffinlance]

Good news good news good news! Recent research suggests the eye parasites do NOT blind them!

Eye-opening research: Greenland sharks maintain vision for centuries through DNA repair mechanism

Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk sits in her office, eyes fixed on the computer monitor in front of her. "You see it move its eye," says the UC Ir

I <3 you a normal amount Greenland sharks

DC x DP PROMPT #12

Um Who’s that in the back?

Tucker Foley finally getting an interview with Wayne Enterprises after months of applications and networking, caffeine abuse and despite the fact that Sam thinks the Wayne’s are sketchy. Only for Tim Drake-Wayne to watch in real time as Tucker’s boyfriend sleep-floats through the background and phases halfway through an exterior wall

and Tucker just sighs like this is a regular Tuesday before sprinting off-screen yelling:

“DANNY YOU ARE LEAVING THE BUILDING AGAIN”

while Tim is sitting there like

👁️👄👁️

because excuse me?????

and it somehow gets worse because Tucker drags Danny back inside by the ankle and Danny is STILL asleep and mumbling “five more minutes” while ACTIVELY HOVERING

Tim: did he just go through the wall

Tucker, immediately: no

Sam, from somewhere off-screen: yes

Tim absolutely mutes himself because he’s laughing too hard and now he’s obsessed because WHAT do you MEAN sleep-floating???

Meanwhile Danny wakes up just long enough to realize he exposed his ghost nonsense to a Wayne and immediately hides his face in Tucker’s shoulder like a cat that knocked over a vase

and Tucker still somehow gets the internship because Tim is like “well this is the most interesting interview I’ve had all month
