Hi! After years of having this blog I have decided to change everything and also make an intro post. So if you know me ignore this (formerly this blog was pickleking8).
Anyway I’m Koleo! Pangender, use whatever pronouns you like. I like beetles, space, and woodworking! Blog-relevant, I like whump and also danny phantom, so it’s mostly a mix of those two things on here.
I have a fanfic that I think I am declaring abandoned atp but if you want to read it the masterpost is here.
Damian sees Danny walking around with Cujo, a bright green dog, and assumes the wrost, that Danny abused his dog by dyeing it green. Damian has no chill, and confronts Danny, getting in his face, and posturing with obvious aggression.
Danny tries to be nonconfrontational, its how hes always been, he'd rather people back off before anyone, himself or them, gets hurt. He was like that before becoming a halfa, he was like that as a halfa, and its a persistent part of his personality. So Danny is trying to calm Damian down and explain, but Damian is just so angry, and hes not listening, and Danny's anxiety is spiking.
Cujo, in life, was a Gaurd Dog in training for a not so savory group. He was put down because he was too friendly to be of any use to the group, but he was still trained by them, and he did remember some of what he was taught. So, when he sees a living boy antagonizing his boy, when he smelt the sour scent of anxiety on his boy, well, Cujo wasn't going to stand for it. He wasn't going to injure the living boy, that would just make his boy sad, but Cujo grew, not big, but to mid size, and shoved himself between them, loud barks rumbling from his chest, warning the living boy to back off.
Basically: Damian thinks Danny abused Cujo by dying him green, and confronts him, causing Danny a bunch of anxiety, Cujo, who had some gaurd dog training from when he was alive, grows to about thr size of a Neapolitan Mastiff, and gets between them, barking at Damian to get him to back off and leave Danny alone.
Yes, and after Damian realizes he was wrong and clearly shows he's no longer aggressive and retreats, Cujo jumps on Danny and calms him down
(I imagined him jumping and instantly turning back into a puppy, but while I was writing the big dog that Danny easily holds on his shoulders without falling is also adorable. Btw I mean the front paws on his shoulders to reach his face)
As some people pointed out in the comments, I'd also like Danny to not want to interact further with the mini-Karen, who prejudges before understanding the situation, but I think, given Danny's personality, if Damian sincerely apologizes, he'll forgive him
Cujo, on the other hand-
This boy has disturbed his boy
It's hard to forgive
"Sorry! He's not usually this unfriendly!"
Damian watches as Cujo makes sure he doesn't get too close to Danny
"Don't worry about that. I have a strong assumption why"
One of the reasons batman doesn't want meta's in his city. Is he's worried about human traffickers kidnapping them. Do you think someone will try to kidnap Cujo.
Danny had discovered that he was adopted. That in of itself would be fine, except his biological parents are a thirty one year old trans man and a centuries old assassin. However, he does want to meet the man who gave birth to him, so he takes a trip to Gotham. He really only goes to observe, staying invisible and undetected,
Except he's not undetected. He's there less than a day before Tim realizes he's there and turns.
"Who's there? Show yourself."
Danny is surprised but fades into the visible spectrum.
"Uh... Hi? I'm Danny. I think... You might have given up a baby around sixteen years ago?"
At Tim's shocked expression, Danny starts to spiral. "I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories or anything! I just... Wanted to know the person who gave birth to me..."
Tim takes a moment to respond.
"You're not bringing up bad memories. Are you really my... Geez, I don't even know what your name is... I've always just been thinking of you as Baby."
It takes a moment for Danny to process. Once he does, he responds, "Danny. My name is Danny. I... I'm sorry I tried to stalk you! I just didn't know if you'd be okay with... Meeting me. I just..."
"It's okay! It's okay. Not the weirdest way I've met a relative, believe it or not. I'm... Honestly just relieved the stalking wasn't someone trying to hurt me. How'd you hide like that, by the way? No one's snuck up on me like that in years."
Danny laughs at that, surprised and relieved. They spend a few hours just talking. Danny already trusts Tim enough to share his ghostly secret, and Tim in turn tells Danny about his youth chasing criminals with Batman. When Danny is brave enough to ask about his conception, he's horrified at the answer.
"That's... Kind of a funny story... I, well my mentor kind of got lost in an interdimentional... Thing, and everyone thought he was dead. So I went to find him, and the only person who believed me was the leader of a death cult who wanted sex in exchange for his resources. It wasn't until later that I realized I was pregnant and then you were born. I gave you up because my family system wasn't exactly healthy and I didn't want Ra's to find out about you because he's freaking crazy and absolutely would kidnap you."
Danny moves to Gotham and buys an apartment building.
It was more just a fun project for him to fix up the building, seeing as how after he took over VladCo, and cleaning up operations, Danny was making more money than ever, even after donating to various charities. So yeah, he was bored and just wanted to get his hands dirty and personally repair the appartments.
Once everything was fixed up, he opened the appartments for rent. He didn't really want to charge people, especially in such an area as Crime Alley, but not charging someone rent is way more sketchy than just asking them to pay whatever they could or wanted to. He ended up just setting the money aside to use on the appartments should it need any upgrades or repairs. He doesn't only take money either, while he denies "physical" payments and/or narcotics, he'll take lessons, like the man in 2B teaching him to sew, or the woman in 5A teaching him how to cook, or the two kids who give him very interesting shiny rocks as payment, there was even a few people who paid by cleaning the appartment building's shared places. One teenager paid rent one month by giving Danny a pair of sickly black and white kittens they found outside(they're named Casper, and Specter, and they're the Building's Managers in Pest Apprehension, and Danny loves them).
Because the appartments are so close to where the working girls/boys run, they make up most of his tenants, so Danny asks them to not bring clients back to the apartments, its dangerous to let their clients know where they live, especially because there are other tenants, including children, in the building so its a safety risk. They all agree, they don't really want their clients knowing where they live anyway.
Some do get stalkers though, and Danny is quick to get rid of them. Or when burglars manage to break in, Danny stops them before they can take anything, and if he managed to miss the burglar, he'll personally replace whatever was stolen until they could get the original stuff back. (Maybe he should adopt a gaurd dog, at least for the intimidation factor. Cane Corso's are medium sized*, hes sure he could get away with getting something like that. Something to think about later.)
A lot of his tenants say Danny is really kind, but thats not how Danny sees it, and its something he loudly denies. He's a bored rich person who was taking advantage of his wealth. Him providing them a safe place to live, and a little bit of comfort isn't kindness, its basic human decency. He's not some saint who is doing this of his own kind heart, he's a normal guy who was bored and just decided to do something helpful opposed to harmful, and he shouldn't be praised for that.
*Danny's idea of Dog sizes is skewed, to him Cugo is a big dog, anything smaller than that is medium to small to xsmall.
Bonus
-Red Hood(or the bats in general) thinks the appartment building was suspicious. Maybe it was some rich guy just being nice, but outside of Bruce, stuff like that doesn't happen in Gotham. Maybe its money laundering, or its acting as an underground brothel, or the owner is actually a massive creep. Either way, they want to be discreet, they don't want to ruin a good thing for people in need if everything happens to be clean happenings. So, they go under cover, Jason acts like a working boy, Damian is a abused kid/teen on the run, Steph is hiding from a abusive ex, maybe Alfred gets in on it and acts like an old man whos boss just fired him because of with no severance pay?
-Everytime Danny starts to get bored, he buys another building to fix up. Not always appartment building's, maybe a hotel, or an auto garage, or an abandoned building he could gut and turn into rec center. You'd think Danny would be burning through money, but no, somehow Danny's happenings leaked and it was good press because people are buying things from VladCo more and more.
The Batfamily has that weird bird whistles and chirping when their comms are off for some reason and as a form of coded language so enemies don't understand what they're saying.
But do you know who, or rather what, use chirping and whistles as a form of language? Ghosts.
Now imagine Danny, who is in Gotham for a field trip with his family (who has been learning Ghost Language after they found out their Danny-O is part spook), make some chirping sound in public, not paying attention, and everyone freeze.
And start looking around, waiting for the batfam jump out of the shadows out of nowhere.
Do you all remember that prompt where Danny gets mistaken for a vampire and decides to play along?
When you think about it, ghosts and vampires actually have quite a few things in common. Not culturally, obviously, but in terms of powers and the whole “technically undead” situation. Which naturally made me think about our favorite wannabe vampire: Vlad.
So what if vampires aren’t actually a real species?
What if the entire concept of vampires exists because Vlad once tried to take over the world by traveling back in time? Danny managed to stop him before he could achieve his goal, but he couldn’t undo all the consequences of Vlad’s actions.
Imagine Vlad showing up centuries in the past with ghost powers, flight, super strength, mind control, ectoplasm, glowing eyes, an obsession with dramatic capes, and a tendency to bite people when he’s feeling particularly unhinged. The locals see this and go, “Ah yes, clearly this is a vampire.”
Danny eventually fixes the timeline enough to stop Vlad’s scheme, but he can’t erase the stories. The legends spread. People keep adding details over the centuries until an entire vampire mythology exists.
Fast forward to the present.
Danny gets mistaken for a vampire.
At first he tries to correct people, but then someone mentions that Batman has a file on “possible metahuman vampire activity” and suddenly it becomes way too funny to stop.
So Danny commits.
He hisses at Green Lanterns. Refuses to enter buildings unless invited. Casually appears upside down on ceilings during League meetings. When someone asks how old he is, he gives answers like, “Which century?”
Bruce: Ugh, thank you, but please don't compare me to an owl.
Dani: Why?
Bruce: I prefer to be wise like....a fox.
Danny: No matter how much you try to manifest it, you will not grow up to be a silver fox. That's Alfred's title and no one can challenge him for it.
Alfred: Thank you Master Danny.
Bruce: No that's not the reason. I just don't like owls.
Dan: Is this about Owlman?
Bruce nervously: Ha ha who?
Dan whispering to his siblings: In an alternate universe, Bruce goes crazy and dresses up as Owlman.
Danny whispers back: In comparison to the sane decision, of dressing up as Batman?
Dan: Owlman liked to murder people. Batman just likes to hit them
Dani: Who's Batman?
Danny/Dan: What? We've been living with Batman for the past eight months. I mean, he doesn't know that we know, but we know.
Dani: Stop talking at the same time. It's creepy. That's how you wind up at the orphanage. Bruce can barely stand that we're posing as triplets and I dont know about you idiots, but I am not going to be a eight year old orphan in a Gotham Orphanage.
Danny: Oh bo-hoo you got de-aged four years, I lost six! I was two years away from a driving license!
Dan: I was twenty four. And now I'm eight. But honestly, I kinda like it. My back pain is gone.
Bruce: Kids? Why are you whispering under the table like that?
Danny/Dan/Danny: I was just telling them how much the nannies at pick up go wild whenever Alfred walks by.
Bruce: .....
Dani: Why are you silent? Was it the weird three voices speaking at once thing? I told them not to do that anymore. We are open to an exorcism if you think it helps.
Bruce: No. I just had flashbacks to when Alfred would drop me off at shcool. So many nannies that were.....excited and verbal about thier excitement.
I’m not giving up. I’m not, I promise. I’m just… the art crisis is hitting me again and my brain is just… empty and distracted. Even when a lot of friends tried to help me to come up with something, I still did something else entirely. Danny’s been hollowed out, literally.
Prompt idea where Danny goes back in time and meets Wonder Woman. It could be on Themyscira during the infini-map situation but I’m personally partial to him meeting Diana during the World Wars.
The basics of it is that for whatever reason, one of the speedsters, a random time traveler, a ghost, or because Clockwork needs Danny to learn something there, he sends him into the past and he quickly ends up meeting Wonder Woman and helping her. He decides to stay with her until he’s finished whatever mission Clockwork’s sent him on and she ends up all but adopting him.
She’s teaching him all her sword tricks and how to fight without relying on his powers as much. The end up getting closer and closer and quickly get to the point where Danny starts subconsciously seeing her as a mother figure. To the point where he accidentally calls her mom, to his eternal mortification. Diana takes this all in stride though, secretly happy that her little warrior called her mom.
Things happen and eventually Danny has to go back to his own time period and his actual life. It’s a very tearful goodbye but it ends with Diana giving Danny a golden wreath crown as a moment of her and her mentally promising to find her little warrior again. She’s fairly certain now that he’s going to be born some time in the future. She doesn’t have much to go off of but gods damn it is she going to try!
Cut to some years later and Diana has become one of the founding members of the Justice League. She still has not found her son but she doesn’t say anything to the other members because she honestly can’t be sure if he’s even been born yet. This all is thrown out the window though when one of the JL members bring up reports of this ghost boy in this little town in the middle of nowhere Illinois. She sees a picture of it an yep, that’s her little boy! He’s even wearing the wreath so that mean he’s met her! She can go see him without risk to the timeline!
She practically sprints all the way to Amity only to find that he’s not here? None of the townsfolk know anything but when she starts instead looking for his human persona she isn’t able to find anything. It’s only when she investigates his parents that she hears, holy shit he’s whimpering in the basement!? She bursts in, ready to defend her baby but the scene she come in on is worse than anything she can imagine. There, on an operating table, is her baby boy. Opened like a gods damned high school science class frog! She can see his organs and knows some of them have been removed.
She does her best to sew him back together and hopes to the gods that his healing will be enough to get him to the Watchtower, all the while he’s crying and calling her mom and saying it hurts, when his parents come back into the lab, guns blazing, ready to fight whatever ghost dared to take their specimen. They were not, however, ready for a very angry and protective mama Wonder Woman who’s fully ready to kill at this point.
After giving the Fentons a piece of her mind, Wonder woman carries Danny as carefully as she can, trying not to disturb his wounds too much. As soon as she gets to a place where she can, she asks through comms to be teleported up to the watchtower.
The JL is flabbergasted at Diana carrying a severely injured young teen boy, and even more confused as to why she brought him to the watchtower and not to a hospital (which is protocol). They soon realize that both, this isn't a normal boy, and Diana is VERY attached to him.
The medical team better not let him die or they're all gonna have to deal with an angry Wonder Woman.
I think it would be cool if when Danny gets better, he wants to train with his mom again, but she's too worried about his health, so he bullies other JL members into it instead.
I like this idea but I’d like to modify it. It was explained that Diana fought with Danny during one or both of the world wars. She knows just how durable Danny is and just how quickly he can bounce back from damage that would kill a normal human. That, and she would want to be the one to teach her baby.
True, but this is the worst injuries she's ever seen on him.
---
Diana is worried. She knows it's irrational, she knows he'll heal, but she can't shake the image of him laying on that table, flayed open, blood dripping down his sides even as tears dripped down his face.
Her little warrior wants her to train him. And she wants to! She has seen him fight. He has some skill already, but also potential for much more. She could polish the rough edges of his techniques until he's a fine warrior, fit to stand against any Amazon.
It's just that....
She wants to wait.
Her little warrior is so impatient. He's barely standing, only just released from bed rest, and already pushing to start training now. And that? That, she cannot do. She will not train him until he is fully healed.
(Until she no longer sees the gruesome scene of his rescue every time she closes her eyes.)
Danny is disappointed, but seems to accept her reasoning. She breathes a sigh of relief. Now she has at least a little time until—
Did he just ask Green Arrow to start training him?!?
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.
Danny(23) owns a petting zoo/animal rescue a few miles outside of Gotham. he has some animals from all walks of life; reputable breeders, other rescues, kill shelters, hoarding situations, breeding mills, ect. Be it dogs, to sheep, to goats, to snakes, to lizards, ro hamsters, to chinchillas, and much more- hes got a little bit of eveything. He makes sure they all have the right set ups, and can live as idealy as possible.
Damian(9) hears about this place and of course needs to check it out. Obviously, he needs to make sure the animals are taken care of and nothing else. And Damian just, immediately falls in love with the place. All the animals are so happy and healthy and the information packets are so well put together and accurate! He is disappointed that nobody is allowed to meet the animals in recovery, but he also knows its for the animals health and safety, which he appreciates. Hes impressed, and decides Danny just has to be his new father.
Bruce(34) thought taking Damian to the petting zoo/rescue would be a nice father/son bonding thing- he did not expect his 9 year old to then try and wingman him to the petting zoo owner, who, might Bruce add, is 10 years his junior!
Basically: Damian is trying to hook his father up with Danny because he wants unlimited animal cuddles. Bruce is unimpressed, Danny's equal parts amused and confused.
