How fleeting are all human passions...

...and yet my passions are where I place my heart

are you a “if i don’t accurately pinpoint what background character 37 is eating in this scene I might die” fic writer or a “if i have to go back and rewatch one (1) episode for basic fact-checking purposes i might die” fic writer

fanfiction is so unbelievably stupid you’ll be like oh i want to write about some finctional dudes and suddenly you’re knee deep in two hundred year old inheritance laws

Popular media tends to depict catgirls as having roughly the same preferences in prey items as regular housecats, but this represents a misunderstanding of how feline prey selection works. Cats don’t hunt mice because they prefer the flavour; cats are hyper-optimised predators that will hunt and kill literally anything they can catch. Their preferences in terms of prey items are less a matter of taste and more a matter of scale: you can only venture so high on the food chain when you weigh ten pounds. Given access to the force multipliers of tools and opposable thumbs, a catgirl would absolutely look at a T-rex and see tonight’s dinner.

Highly disappointed that the “Infinite” Realms is always just full of ghosts. Monster AUs have so much potential, especially with all the DC crossovers. Vampires that can subsist off the pure energy of ectoplasm present in the air, so they’re never hungry. They can grow/hide/exist all by themselves. Alternately, the realms could act as a base of indefinite preparation for them if they decide to do anything to an infinite number of worlds. Werewolves that are free to play like wolves, to hunt the game they seeded their own dimension/realm with, to be perfectly free. The Yetis who used their magic to make their own home in the Realms as the Ice Age began to fail them. Duulaman’s Egypt, home of an entire sorcerous people, capable of casting the souls of their people into an eternal realm where they could thrive forever in, essentially, the field of reeds. The Mummies found there reanimated so that their revered ancestors could walk amongst them again, or their bodies rejuvenated (good plot there if Hotep-Ra, a traitor, was left as a mummy by his people when everybody else was brought back to life). Pandora, Guardian of Hope, and her Realm of Elysium, a home for all the monsters of Ancient Greece who were cast out/shunned/destroyed by society. A place of healing for the traumatized Minotaur (he was raised to kill people in a dark maze, that’s gotta be traumatic), cursed Medusa, etc (seriously, a rehab center where you can literally hold Hope in your hands when you have none…hek). Not to mention, since she guards Hope, it could be a literal object, and Vlad stealing Hope but not knowing how to use its power is a *highly* interesting plot to me. Somewhere that Desiree, a djinni, can avoid the people who’d only attempt to abuse her power to grant wishes. (There are so many more things to add…Liches, Witch Covens, Dora and Aragon’s Kingdom of Mattingly [dragons], other creatures) Sure, some beings there–like Skulker–want to fight, but by the very nature of Lairs/Realms, he can’t follow others into their homes and expect to survive, so they are safer than anywhere else. The ghosts and creatures that love to battle are free to do so in the regenerative chaos of the realms. The ghosts who want to be left alone can find their own slice of infinity. It truly is, or at least could be, a paradise for everybody… Which makes Pariah Dark so much eviler. The moment he awoke, he destroyed people’s homes so they couldn’t hide from him, he enslaved entire peoples to make thralls for his army, he devoured ghosts–absorbing their essence–to rebuild his lost strength, he used those armies to attack the realms capable of resisting him for a time, he pulled a resisting city into the Realms as an act of aggression. Everything he did was in stark contrast to the path of existence the nations of the realms had chosen, and his will was absolute; all the beings capable of being compelled were compelled to serve him, every lich lost their phylactery to him and were forced to submit to him, every free group was under threat of slavery or extinction. Even Vortex and Undergrowth, two incredibly dark beings, resisted as well as they could, but had Danny not attacked Pariah Dark’s center of power, even they would have fallen. Essentially, Danny stopping Pariah Dark would have far more of an impact, yet also none at all as it would be mostly behind the scenes. Danny, all of fourteen years old, battled the evilest being to have existed at that time in a fight to the death without any guarantee of survival. Frostbite and the other beings, feeling the weakness of Pariah’s forces, since he was occupied with Danny and the attacking ghost forces, launched their own counterattack and arrived before Danny’s duel was over to see Danny, still so small even in the battle suit, fighting the titanic mass of Pariah Dark, King of all Ghosts. Frostbite, left arm shredded by a summoned beast, watched in fascinated horror as Danny’s strength waned, but he still forced Dark back. Pandora, Guardian of Hope, watched a tiny child stare down a stone-face goliath. Vortex, for all his wrath, couldn’t have stood against Pariah, but that diminutive whelp was a storm unto himself and nothing, not even Pariah Dark, it seemed, could stand against a force of nature. Nocturne, Lord of Sleep, King of Dreams, and once a slave to Pariah Dark, had suffered from nightmares since Pariah’s return; his dream realm had fallen, his sleepwalkers obliterated, his precious, harvested dreams destroyed, and Pariah had once again enslaved Nocturne, yet the power of Pariah’s ritual was waning, and Nocturne felt himself awakening from his nightmare. He watched a tiny child, someone who should be dreaming instead of facing down a nightmare, deliver the dream of the king of dreams; Pariah was being forced into his sarcophagus. For Frostbite, Danny became the Great One; to Pandora, he was a child of Hope, a miracle (it didn’t hurt that he locked a great evil in a box either); to Vortex, he was a little storm, a squall; to Nocturne, Danny was a savior and a dream come true, surely, Nocturne could repay him with good dreams…maybe even for the little one’s entire Lair… All I’m saying is that context is everything, and having Vortex be a literal embodiment of storms and nature rather than just a ghost with storm powers is a lot more enticing to me. Pandora being Danny’s ghost mom is great, but her seeing him as a child of what she embodies rather than just “he is smol, I must help,” seems richer. Then there’s the DC crossover potential once Danny inevitably begins letting the peaceful individuals stay in Amity Park under his protection, or sending those who’d fit in to the Infinite Realms (Mr. Freeze and Nora relocating to the Far Frozen where he can get all the help he needs, not live in his suit, and either turn Nora into a ghost or cure her, Poison Ivy to live with Undergrowth [kinda like that island she had in the Bahamas], Killer Croc most likely to Egypt, Harley would fit in with Kitty and Johnny’s level of crazy, etc.). Imagine Batman investigating all his missing rogues, but when he eventually tracks them down, he finds them living peacefully in an infinite realm of places where they can’t hurt anybody permanently, and the people there are similarly obsessive/crazy. But also, Ghost King Danny, Protector of the Infinite Realms, etc., etc., leading an army of “monsters” to defend Earth from Darkseid, or, since Darkseid is always after the Anti-life Equation (considering all their different abilities, it would make sense for ghosts/ectoplasm to be the essence of the equation), defending the Infinite Realms against Darkseid/the Anti-Monitor. That’s all neglecting the chaos potential of Jack and Maddie believing all things not expressly human are ghosts. I also firmly think that since the Infinite Realms connect all universes, there can only ever be one ghost/ectoplasmic entity of any given individual regardless of the universe(s) of origin, and I have written pseudoscience for it (using some computer science and physics ideas, so it makes sense with less hand-waving). That’s neither here nor there, so I will end this before it gets any longer. Anyways, that’s the thought I just had, figured I’d share it with y’all and see if y’all were interested.

Thought of a corpse au scenario.

Danny has a corpse! He swears he does! He just…doesn’t remember where he put it. It’s fine though! Totally fine. He’s not worried about it. Nope. Not at all.

He lied. He lied a lot. He’s kinda panicking and has been searching for weeks with no luck.

Finally, he finds it with the help of Jazz, Sam, and Tucker. And he’s just so excited and relieved that this happens:

*dragging his bloodied corpse into the car*

Danny just glad to be done searching (and operating on very little sleep): Can I get a HELL YEAH from the people in the back!

Sam and Tucker: HELL YEAH

Jazz, driving: *facepalms*

At The Core

So I came across a prompt post about Danny discovering that Jason has a core but it’s weak because the Lazarus Pits aren’t the cleanest sources of ectoplasm, so he just kind of kidnaps him to bring him to Frostbite. I can’t find the post anymore but I seem to have started a new fic.

Keep reading

[thebubblesareevil]

So I’ve read a lot of Danny was adopted by the fentons but he’s always the twin or younger brother of one of the bats but I just kept thinking what if he was the older brother.

So Haley’s circus has had a really hard year and the newlywed Graysons end up pregnant with a baby boy. Unfortunately they know that at this point they could not take care of him the way he would need and so they reluctantly put baby Danny up for adoption. A few years later they welcome dick and we know how that goes.

Fast forward to young justice age dick investigating a string of thefts committed along the route of Haley’s circus but before he leaves Haley pulls Dick aside and tells him about his older brother. He doesn’t know how to react at first and doesnt tell anyone but Wally but eventually Dick decides to track down his brother and finds this sleep deprived mess of a brother who is basically a trash panda who for some reason has been left in charge of a child.

Danny is super excited to be a big brother and they end up bonding. Either Danny ends up going to college In Gotham or he gets a job there so he can get to know his brother. He of course takes his “cousin” with him.

A few years pass we hit season 2 of young justice and miraculously Dick has managed to keep being nightwing a secret from Danny (mostly Danny was avoiding the Batfam and dick was avoiding Danny when I’m costume) Danny has become like an older brother to both Tim and Jason. Now end of season 2 hits Wally has been dragged into the speed force and Zatanna finds a time to summon the king of the infinite realms in hopes of finding a way to get Wally back.

So they do the whole summoning and as the magic circle is lighting up Shazam or Constantine or dr fate rush in freaking out because pariah dark was locked up for a reason. And then everybody is on edge a figure starts to form in the center and a there was a great big flash (couldn’t help it) and there sitting in the middle other of the circle is Dicks half asleep older brother consuming cheerios out Tupperware with a fork. Everybody is staring at him he stares right back. And says something like oh like you’ve never forgotten to do the dishes before.

Anywho this got out of hand but enjoy 😊

I added more in the reblogs check it out if your interested

Lazarus Pits were foul.

There was no nicer way to put it.

They were supposed to be cracks inbetween the 2 realms where ectoplasm, truly dead and rotten ectoplasm, sank to the bottom of the Ghost Zone and seeped through into the living realm to become apart of the earth, the water, the air. To gather energy and be renewed in order to seep back into the zone to contribute to the everlasting exchange of energies between the 2 realms.

That's what they were supposed to be. Until they were stopped up.

The dead ectoplasm never stopped leaking through, but it never returned back to the zone. It got stuck, held in place with old magics whispered in lost tongues that forced it to stay. To stagnate. To ooze over souls that were supposed to pass over and draw them back into their earthly bodies.

The Pits were a literal crime against nature and those who bathed in it came out with the stench of rotting magic clinging to them like a thick sludge as a marker to the dead and those blessed with the sight that there was something very wrong with the person.

Which is why when Phantom met the Red Hood for the first time, he instantly recoiled with his nose scrunched up in disgust and said 'Oh god ew, what the fuck.'

This happened in front of everyone.

[im-totally-not-an-alien-2]

Phantom has been having some problems with Satanic cults that are popping up around Amity and he has no idea what to do. Sure, nothing they've tried has affected him, but he's afraid that might change.

It was just another ordinary night in the most haunted city in America when he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. "More magic. Great." Danny muttered to himself before flying off in the direction he felt it coming from.

Unfortunately he arrived too late and a young man appeared in the middle of a summoning circle. He looked confused, the cultists seemed confused, and Danny was definitely confused. This man was alive he was sure of it, even if he was dressed really strange. Not that he had any right to speak.

Phantom snapped out of his confusion when one of the cultist-A local redheaded girl named Mindy- shouted, "ALL HAIL THE BIRD GOD!!!"

This caused the man to whip out a bo staff from seemingly nowhere and start beating them up. Fair. Danny decided he kinda liked the guy and joined into the frey. After the cultists had been defeated the man actually tied them up and made an anonymous call the the police.

"So, are you really a bird god?" He asked.

If the man was startled by the ghosts echo-y voice or white glow he must have been really good at hiding it. "No, sorry, I'm just a normal vigilante. My names Red Robin, nice to meet you." The vigilante held out his hand for him to shake.

Danny quickly obliged, fighting back a smirk when the vigilantes hand twitched. It was the only tell that indicated the man was bothered by how cold his hands were. Most people outright flinched from his icy touch (ha) but not this guy. This guy was cool. "I'm Phantom, Amity Parks own ghostly superhero! Nice to meet ya!" Danny said with a smirk before flashing finger guns at him.

"You're a ghost?!" Oh no. He thought, Here it comes, Bird guy is gonna run for the hills like so many others-

"But you're so young..." the sympathy in his voice caught Danny off guard, "How old were you when-" the ghost cut him off, "You should never ask a ghost about thier death. Ever."

Red Robin paused before nodding.

They ended up talking about how to best get Red home before his family freaked out too much. Danny suggested the Infinity Map and they went to ask if they could use it, only for the people of the far frozen to refuse, stating that Clockwork himself came to them and told them to refuse.

Ghost King Danny idea mixed with college au

Danny needs a cheap place to stay and the Ghost Zone needs their king to at least pretend to govern. So, Danny makes his home in the Ghost Zone palace and portals to college every morning for classes. Win-win for everyone. Danny gets a free place to stay and the GZ representatives can begin organizing a government around him while he's distracted doing human things.

What could possibly go wrong?

[talzane]

Cult of Janus AU: Danny’s Time War with Vlad wasn’t as short as the episode made it out to be, and all four of them were stranded in ancient Rome for several days. At the time, Nero was outside the city, but was abducted by Vlad in a bid for the throne, which lead to the final confrontation between Vlad and Danny that set fire to Rome in 64 CE. Danny, due to his nature and the needs of his friends, had to ask for help from the locals and armed them with makeshift ectoweapons. Unfortunately, during the fight Vlad managed to knock Danny out, rendering him human again. While the locals were stunned at first, they managed to protect Danny long enough for him to wake. Eventually, Vlad saw that his fight with the Little Badger had set the entire city aflame and fled through a portal that had opened due to the excessive amounts of ectoplasm. Danny and co followed, leaving behind their pro-tem allies who were utterly convinced that Danny was Janus, god of  “beginnings, gates, transitions, time, duality, doorways, passages, frames, and endings” (and since he’s the god of changes, war and peace).

1,940 years later, after the true emergence of Phantom–whose battles with Plasmius had left traces throughout history–the decendants of his followers, though few in number, slowly began to migrate to Amity Park to serve Janus, the two-faced god. To the Guys in White’s consternation, there are strangely equipped, elite warriors ready to drive them from Amity Park any time they attempt to harm Phantom.

Au where all the ghosts hide thier real names on instinct, not only because knowing a ghosts name gives you power over them but because you could use thier name to potentially find thier grave through magic or Google.

Once you find thier bones there's no shortage of what you could do.

Due to the nature of Embers obsession she isn't able to hide her name and during a fight she reveals to Phantom she lives in a constant state of anxiety fearing someone might find her body and use it against her

Phantom knocks on her door a week later with not only her body but her entire casket floating behind him. She's oddly touched. This is probably the nicest thing anyone has ever done for her. Word, of course, spreads of this and other spirits ask him to do the same for them and are willing to make deals

Another week later Batman is investigating all the robbed graves and trying to figure out wtf is going on

Edit: Yes the removal of the caskets cause the graves to sink in and thats how Batman is alerted to the issue. I had left this as an implication but felt the need to clarify due to people talking about it in the notes.

Edit 2: You could also have a grave keeper see Phantom stealing caskets and alert authorities. Whats more this is likely happening in more than just Gotham. You could also have another ghost/ a magic user see this super powerful spirit robbing graves and being like, "Well that seems ominous. I should tell someone about that."

Please forgive me for adding more, I have no control over myself

[mochazocha]

anyone know how to contact Phantom because this little shit (affectionate) keeps knocking over my trash cans (and mine only for some reason) and spooking me awake.
