I like using side blogs as I tend to hyperfixate on my fandoms (currently Danny Phantom and Batman) and like having that organization so have a mini Tumblr Link Tree of my active blogs:
Y'know, I like the idea where for a ghost or a realm being to court another they duel with each other so it'll be funny when Dick stumbles across jason who was fighting with some guy and Dick was horrified when Jason landed a hit on that guy nose but the dude just smiled manically
And he was even more horrified and maybe a tad confused when he heard their conversation
Jason: go out with me Danny!
Danny: HAH! defeat me first Jason if you wish to take me on a date!
Jason: oh you BET!
Dick face paled for every second and was about to interfere when Danny managed to land a hit so hard it knocked Jason out cold for a second or two before he got back up
Danny: HAH! you failed Jason!
He said while pointing at Jason and Jason just scowled and said damn it under his breath
Danny: but well since I won that means I can ask you out for a date can I? So you wanna go on a date with me?
Jason just blinked in surprise before grinning from ear to ear
Jason: fuck yeah, let's go
And only after that did they realize of another presence with them, which is dick and dick just stares at them
Jason, rolling his eyes: You're such a wimp, getting a date is not that hard.
Dick: Oh yeah?
Jason: Yeah.
Dick: Okay. Go ask that- *points to a random guy* guy out, if he turns you down for any reason thats not "I'm in a relationship currently", "I'm Aromantic", or "I'm not interested in men", then that will be proof its not "easy", and that you're wrong.
Jason: Fine. *walks up to the man in question* Will you agree to go on a date with me so I can laugh in my brother's face?
Danny: *blinks slowly as he sips on a "green apple" slushie, he looks Jason up and down with consideration* I have to go to my sister's wedding in four weeks and she keeps trying to hook me up with the groom's best friend's sister, who I've met and have no interest in, if you go with me to that, I will tell your brother whatever you want me to.
I really like stories where Danny has resentment against the Justice League because they didn't do anything to help Amity Park, but I think an AU where he's completely chill about it while they're very much not would be really funny.
Like, imagine that every major ghost attack happens exactly at the same time as world extinction events. Danny has a big fight, goes home, turns on the news and there it is, all hands on deck for major heroes because the universe is in peril.
At some point he just stops checking, he knows the drill, and besides he's handled it anyway. It's all good.
So it really comes as a shock when a hero independently finds out about the GIW and organises a JL intervention. They come to Amity Park and they really don't get why the local teenage hero gives them a thumbs up and tells not to worry, he can handle being dehumanised and hunted for experimentation.
One of Danny's classes (probably Lancer's English in relation to some other text for a high school course) doing a whole discussion about the trolley problem and Danny's sitting there with an epiphany like
"Ah. I am the one guy tied to the second tracks compared to the five on the first. I see. . . Pull the lever, Kronk!"
And sure, it kinda sucks to be on the tracks. But between himself and his problems vs. the whole world and everyone in it; well, Danny is a hero too. He'd never ask them too make a different choice.
I have made the INCREDIBLE discovery of adding texture to images LOOK AT HOW AMAZING THIS LOOKS!!! The texture somehow adds a sense of remembrance and softness.... incredible, the things small details can do...
(my art for my Demon Twins fic, Nightingale, check my pinned post for the link)
Tim: I know you feed on emotions. You're an ecto-being, known as Phantom, and you're hiding in Gotham from the government. Your real name is Daniel Fenton.
Danny defeated: Who are you working for? How did they find me?
Tim: Don't worry about that. I'm the only one who knows. Listen, I need your emotional eating abilities. Robin died a few weeks ago, and Batman is losing it. Could you eat his sorrow? Help cut through his fog of grief?
Danny: I- ugh I never tried that?
Tim: Well, now is a good chance to try. Pack your bags, you're moving into Drake Manor as my uncle, and we're going to save Batman.
Danny: Okay?
Tim: You seemed confused. Do I need to explain the plan again?
Danny: I'm not confused. I didn't expect this when I opened the door to a seven-year-old.
Tim: I'm thirteen.
Danny: I'm so sorry. Are you not being feed?
Tim: Everyone blooms at their own time!
Danny: Sure, buddy.
Tim: You-! You will actually do really well at posing as an annoying uncle. You're on thin ice, though. So watch it.
Danny: I'll take that threat more seriously when you can reach my chin.
Good parents Jack and Maddie crying as their baby boy goes off to college. They've turned off the portal and are in the process of correcting their initial findings so everyone in town tries to avoid them otherwise you will be subjected to the new findings which mark ecto entities as sapient and therefore deserving of rights or gushing about how Danny is off to college since his small business pays so well. He did so well he rejected the scholarships from Gotham University because he said it would be better going to someone who needs it and they did such a good job raising him because look at how successful and generous he is!
The business in question is more of a cheat since being king of the infinite Realms means he is fluent in any language to exist. Safe, dead, or extinct the status of a language doesn't matter to him. With Technus's help he sets up and online portal where people can submit pictures or copies of stuff for him to translate at a premium price. He refuses to take any money from the fruit loop and the money he learns will go towards his clone's schooling when she gets to that point. Right now she is using it for her travels and sending them postcards.
People who claim his translations as their own get black listed with a huge fee coming out of their bank account for the breach of contract. He is trying to keep his business on the down low so those breakthroughs that get on the news are not what he is looking for. His main demographic is rich snobs with private art collections. What Danny doesn't know is that his main customers are the Justice League.
There are some clues but he kinda ignores them. Like when a document submitted is a summoning ritual he sends back a partial translation since the summoning is not good (there are worst beings they could summon but it will still be a hassle) however revealing knowledge of the banishment is harmless.
Gotham cultists hate him because they know he can translate the whole document/book but all of their attempts to trace the sage of tongues (trying to give invisobill kinda vibes) they find a dead end. They try submitting from different computers, locations, routers, anything, but just end up giving Danny more money lol
The Justice League is almost in tears because the jusyice league dark could not agree on the translation of the banishment ritual and everything they tried before had failed.
His favorite translations are the stories that give alien vibes. They talk about certain structures (he thinks it might be structures) as if they are common knowledge. Unknown to him those are Kryptonian fairy tales that Lois submitted. She didn't want to give Jon a funny accent so Clark can read them in Kryptonian while she does the English.
Duke having a hard time with an assignment, sends an inquiry asking if he offers homework help (he wouldn't be using it for career advancement which is against the terms of service BUT he would be claiming it for points so he asked) and that is how Tim finds out about this sketchy website that can translate anything. Danny feels the sincerity and sleep deprivation in the inquiry so he replies back "I admire your courage and will do you a solid but only if your promise to sleep a minimum of 8 hours. I'll know if you don't and snitch so go to sleep 😴" The translation is attached and already in the format his teacher requested.
Steph: How is he gonna know?
Duke: Idk but he is a life saver!
Tim: Duke, did you just sell your soul for a homework assignment?
Duke: Let me sleep and then we'll see what happens 🥱
Tim is driven crazy because he needs to know who is behind the website. And also because Constantine was kinda in the area and said no. Duke has his soul even if he doesn't sleep, lucky bugger.
Tim feels like the world is conspiring against him when it sends the cutest distraction in one his gen ed courses. He will date the cute guy AND solve this mystery out of spite.
Damian Wayne had never experienced true suffering before.
Then the new veterinarian opened across from the animal shelter he volunteered at.
He was kind to every animal.
He hand-fed injured pigeons.
He let ugly three-legged cats climb onto his shoulders during appointments.
He wore oversized sweaters with paw prints on them.
AND WORST OF ALL—
He was the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his entire twelve years of existence.
Not regular pretty either.
No.
Universe-ending pretty.
Like “ethereal being accidentally trapped in human form” pretty.
Like “Greek gods would start drama over him” pretty.
Like “why is there sparkles around him when he holds baby rabbits” pretty.
And unfortunately— the veterinarian was approximately ancient.
As in TWENTY.
Which meant Damian could not even emotionally justify his feelings because Grayson would never let him hear the end of it.
So instead Damian did the mature thing.
He decided Drake needed to marry him immediately.
Tim Drake was dragged to the animal rescue at 7:12 AM against his will.
Tim: “Damian it’s SATURDAY.”
Damian: “There is an emergency.”
Tim, half asleep: “Is someone dying?”
Damian: “Potentially my future happiness.”
Tim: “…what.”
Damian shoved him through the clinic doors dramatically.
And that’s when Tim saw him.
The veterinarian looked up from where he was bottle-feeding an injured kitten.
Messy white hair.
Blue eyes.
Oversized hoodie under scrubs.
Tiny paw-print bandaid on his cheek.
Surrounded by like six different animals at once like a Disney princess blessed by God personally.
Tim:.............................
Damian watched the soul leave Drake’s body in real time.
Hook.
Line.
Sinker.
Excellent.
Danny: “Oh! Hi! You here to volunteer?”
Tim: *Buffering*
Damian: “This is my older brother Timothy. He is single.”
Tim: “DAMIAN—”
Danny blinked. Then smiled. Tim nearly hit cardiac arrest.
Danny: “Cool. I’m Danny.”
Tim, internally: Danny. Danny. His NAME is Danny.
Damian could literally SEE the moment Drake got attached.
It was disgusting.
Five minutes later:
Tim was holding three puppies.
Danny was laughing at something he said.
Damian was sitting nearby with the satisfaction of a man orchestrating political warfare successfully.
Grayson arrived thirty minutes later and immediately sensed evil.
Dick: “Why is Tim staring at that veterinarian like he just witnessed the second coming?”
Damian, calmly feeding a rabbit: “The plan progresses smoothly.”
Dick: “The WHAT.”
Meanwhile Jason wandered in, took one look at Tim, and started cackling.
Jason: “OH MY GOD. Replacement’s got a crush.”
Tim: “I do NOT.”
Danny, from across the room: “Tim can you hand me the antiseptic?”
Tim: already halfway across the clinic before the sentence finished.
Jason collapsed against the wall laughing.
Steph found out in under 24 hours.
Steph: “So let me get this straight. Damian found a pretty vet, realized he was too young, and reassigned the crush to Tim?”
Damian: “Correct.”
Steph: “And Tim actually fell for it?”
Damian: “Drake has the survival instincts of wet paper.”
Tim, in the background, googling: “How to impress veterinarian ethically.”
Bruce found out three days later when Tim voluntarily woke up before noon to “visit the shelter.”
Bruce: deeply concerned (i would be too)
Alfred, meanwhile, had already figured everything out.
Alfred: “Master Damian appears quite invested in Master Timothy’s love life.”
Bruce: “…why.”
Alfred: “Because the young veterinarian resembles a woodland fae creature specifically engineered to appeal to your sons.”
Bruce: “…I see.”
Alfred: “Frankly, sir, I’m surprised Master Jason has not proposed yet as well.”
Jason, walking by:
“I’M THINKING ABOUT IT.”
The worst part?
Danny genuinely WAS Tim’s exact type.
Sleep-deprived disaster? Check
Kind to animals? Check
Looks like he hasn’t slept in three business days? Check
Accidentally funny? Check
Mysterious weird vibes? Check
Probably haunted? Check
Tim never stood a chance.
Damian watched the disaster unfold like a proud parent.
Because if HE couldn’t marry the Goddess of a vet—then at least he could secure visitation rights through Drake.
Amity Parkers know that Danny Fenton is nothing to look at.
They've seen the dude eat shit so many times, they're legitimately surprised his chin isn't permanently bruised from how often it hits the ground after he trips. He's the son of the town crazies and there's even rumors that he's cursed or something, since there's been witness accounts of Fenton's eyes glowing green or disappearing in plain view. His entire time in middle and high school was spent being shoved into lockers, put into wedgies, eating the quarterback's underwear - Daniel "Danny" Fenton was not a prize and was honestly the bottom of the barrel for only the truly desperate.
So, explain to them why the fugly nerd managed to pull so hard once he left Amity?
Every other day, there was a new image or clip of Fenton interacting with a Wayne - the cream of the crop, the ideal of ideals, the ones someone could only dream of the chance of being in the same building as - and a headline detailing some new dramatic action the Wayne kid had taken to fight their siblings for Fenton's attention. If it wasn't a Wayne, it was some other famous person - even Superboy, the teen dreamboat, seemed to shoot his shot with Fenton.
Was there something that Amity Parkers were missing? Fenton didn't exactly look all that different from when he'd graduated high school. Why was the world suddenly treating Fenton like... like a diamond in the rough? It didn't make any sense!
Finally, they think in near unison, watching Fenton bite dust on live television, maybe the world will finally realize that they'd been irrationally attracted to a loser.
Instead, they watch as the world collectively is endeared by how clumsy Danny is and isn't that cute? A little flaw for what is otherwise a perfect person.
And then Amity Park and the entire world sees the demon that came out when Danny curb stomped Joker.
Joker didn't even have anything planned! He was just casually walking in disguise when the clumsy cute and sometimes clueless to the social cues ray of hope that is Danny Fenton, just ran from the most recent Wayne brawl and flew a flying kick to his head.
Several people tried to get him off of the 'innocent civilian'.
Yes, most Amity Parkers reveled in the thought that finally people would see his cute boy persona was a fake and see the disgusting thing that lied beneath. Except it never comes. What does come however is the reveal that he was attacking the Joker and he was getting PRAISED FOR IT???
Danny for his part was just spitting venom essentially. Cursing the Jokers name and that made everyone especially Jason fall for him even more. Most of what he was saying was just too fast for anyone to really catch mostly just some names which everyone figured it was the names of victims.
Amity Parkers are basically left to pull their hair out 'how can they find him cute?' They shout to skies.
The news interview with Danny was at best by Amity Parks standards an absolute shit show yet to the rest of the world he was akin to God appearing on the news 'What do you mean you smelled a clown? That doesn't even make any sense!' Amity Parkers by now were eating their hats or buying new hats to eat.
Amity Park is left feeling like everyone else lost their minds.
You know I live the whole Clockwork hates Speedsters HC, but I do love the idea of the Speedforce being Clockwork‘s child and thus him seeing the Speedsters as his grandbabies.
His little rascals.
They’re just wittle babies who don’t know that playing with time has consequences.
And they keep trying to fix their mistakes, these little cuties!
Clockwork loves his grandbabies, even if he’s sometimes exasperated by them.
Danny: *walking into the appartment to see Jason sitting on the couch, and pauses* Are you a kidnapped or otherwise endangered child in need of help at this time?
Jason: You're pretty blasé about a random kid somehow sneaking into your apartment.
Danny, raising eyebrow: Blasé? Fancy word for a kid who looks like he fist fought a brick wall last night.
Jason, flushing and trying to subtly shift to hide vigilante bruises: Shut up, shit face, I like to read.
Danny, snorting: That sounds more like a young teen. And good on you. I hated reading at your age.
Jason: Really? Why? Aren't you an English Major?
Danny: Bad teachers and the bullies they enabled made anything school related miserable.
Jason: Oh...
Danny: Anyway, I've seen the extra security Dick added to this place. There's no way you got in here without triggering something unless you already knew how to bypass all that. So you're either the baby brother or another stalker. And if you were another stalker I'm pretty sure the first one would have dealt with you by now.
Jason: First one?!?
Danny: Don't worry about it. He's, like, 8. So, chicken nuggets?
16-year-old Danny Phantom (member of the Justice League Dark) approaches 25-year-old Red Robin.
Danny: Would you like to go on a date?
Tim: I'm sorry, you flatter me, but I think you're too young for me.
Danny: Sorry for the confusion, it wasn't a date with me, but with my gentleman.
Tim: your knight?
Danny: Yes! Technically, he's an adult, so there wouldn't be any problems!
Tim: Technically? How old is he?
Danny: Um... How old is Halloween?
Tim: ...
Danny: Look, I know it's weird, but he's been alone for a long time, and he really loves the way you psychologically terrorize your criminals and how cool you look doing it!
Tim: um...
Danny: And if you don't like it, you'll have a favor from me, you can ask me for anything.
Tim: Whatever I want?
Danny: Whatever you want.
Tim: Deal.
Danny: Great! Fright Knight will come looking for you tomorrow night! Good luck, bye!
Danny disappears.
Jason, who observed the entire interaction: Tim... Did you really just agree to go on a date with a guy who's over three thousand years old?
Tim: Sure, you heard Danny, the guy hasn't been on a date in a long time. I'll get that favor from the king of infinite kingdoms by the end of the night, you'll see.
After the date with Fright Knight.
Tim enters the Batcave: ...
Jason: How did your date go? How bad was it?
Tim: I have two pieces of news, one good and one bad. Which would you like to hear first?
Jason: The bad new?
Tim: I won't be able to get that favor from Danny.
He didn't even read the sticky note. He's just floating there staring straight ahead as if he didn't get thunked and makes no move to pick up the green sticky note
He didn't read the sticky note because he didn't need to. Clockwork has been recycling the same Sticky Note of Approval since the first time Danny stopped to ask himself whether or not Clockwork would approve of something post TUE. The sticky note in question is immediately recognizable at this point because it has been crumbled, torn, stained, etc but it is still "intact" enough to be used. What is written on it? Nothing but a small, hand drawn thumbs up emoji.
"In other news, the newly discovered Infinite Realms, an alien dimension that sits right next to our own, has announced that they do not believe in America."
"...What?" Flash asks, protein bar halfway to his mouth. He's in the cafeteria of the Watchtower, and he's not the only one with his eyes pinned to the TV.
"I'm not sure I understand, Linda, can you clarify what they mean by that?" The male reporter asks, smile strained.
"Certainly, Todd. The Infinite Realms has stated that they do not believe that the United States of America is a real country, and as such, will not seek to make any deals or treaties with them."
Wonder Woman raises an eyebrow, leaning back in her seat.
"Then...then what do they think America is?" Todd asks from the TV, sounding a little desperate.
"Apparently, they view America as 'a collection of toddlers that bathe in money pretending like they own the world'."
Green Arrow starts laughing so hard he dry heaves.
I mean... politically? America DID start it. The I.R. does have the right to do that. Especially if they have the ability to keep America from... you know... *all the historical examples of America doing as it has done* to them?
Honestly? Power move would be to recognize the Tribes. Since according to THIER(Infinite Realms) records? They were there first. Sorry guys! You're illegal immigrants. We only recognize the RIGHTFUL governments of this land.
Danny travels back in time to make treaties with the native tribes and their Spirits. Then goes forward and has the historical proof of their existence from before the white man came and started their tantrums.
It started as a fuck you to the GIW and the laws they hid to pass the anti-ecto acts and now they've decided it's actually a good idea and are ✨invested✨. Sam's having a great time researching and focusing her activism on that, Danny keeps giving it more validity with time missions to make the more legit, and Tucker has decided to team up with technus to hack and expose all the billionaires and the shady shit they do and use it as extra confirmation.
