(Yes Im acutely TKdoodles77. I accidentally locked myself out of my account and had to make a new one. If you don't believe me head over to my da account TKdoodles77. I'll confirm it over there for you.) anyways moving on... I draw a DP fan-comic called Haunted Ties that uploads weekly on Sundays, unless life gets in the way(which happens alot). This blog is mainly for my art but I might have the occasional story rambles. If you like what you see go check out my DA. theres more on there.
Had a bit of a sh*t week so I drew some self-indulgent crossover nonsense to make myself feel better. Haunted Ties related content will resume after Tuesday.
I should have had this posted like 2 days ago, but then i started to write out the context for it and well... it kinda took on a life of its own.
If you see anything in this at conflicts with canon, it's cause I based it off my own interpretations +headcanons, and well this is obviously au to begin with so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also you can pry sympathetic Loki out of my cold dead fingers
story under the cut
Clockwork sighed. Perhaps he was making this harder on himself than it truly was. He was the master of all time, surely the answers he sought were somewhere within the endless possibilities of time. And yet no matter how many timelines he studied; he could not find the solution to this problem.
Or problems as it were.
Danny Phantom and Loki Odinson, two powerful children caught up in the tangled web of cause and effect. To the point that though they never met their fates were bound together. And like a knot made of a thousand strands, separating the two’s fates seemed impossible. Both were doomed if no action was taken to right the timeline. But Clockwork did not know what action to take.
To save one was to damn the other. And to damn one was to damn all of the nine realms.
It was endlessly frustrating. Both boys had such great potential for good. They should be fated lead their realms to prosperity and peace. But instead the circumstances of their lives seemed designed to kill that potential in its cradle. To take all the good in their hearts and twist it into hatred and malice. To force both down a road counter to their very natures.
If they were not simply killed that is.
So many timelines where Phantom became the very villain he once feared. So many timelines where Loki fell into his own broken madness and attack those whom he most loved. So many timelines where the earth and the other realms were destroyed. So many timelines where both children were killed before a great disaster that they could have helped prevent.
Clockwork needed to find a peaceful timeline for the future to follow, preferably before the Observants took notice of the problem. Fore they would tie Clockwork’s hands while they debated endlessly on what to do. And then no action would ever be taken to fix the timeline. Just as it had been with Hella and Asgard once before.
Clockwork would not make that mistake a second time. The two boys did not deserved it.
Not Loki and his wish to learn all he could of magic, his clever wit that cut like a knife to the heart of a problem, his simple desire for acceptance.
Not Phantom with his love for the stars, his endless curiosity, his selfless drive to protect others no matter what wrongs they had done to him.
But Asgard belittled Loki’s magic; for it was seen as the domain of cowards and woman, not an honorable tool for a warrior. So Loki’s wit became like a weapon uses as a defense against the hurtful words of others. And as every effort he made to gain acceptance from those around him failed he would grow cold and distant. Closed off and unreachable by all.
Phantom’s dream of flying among the stars would fade as the reality of his situation slowly dawned on him. His curiosity would turn to suspicion as every new encounter earned him another enemy. And in the end the scorn and hatred of those he protected would wear away his selfless nature.
Such futures could not be allowed to happen.
And if Clockwork were being frank, Phantom and Loki's situations were quite similar. One would not see it at first glance, but Clockwork had been giving the problem far more than a single glance. Millions actually, but who was counting? To sum it up in a single word, neglect. Both Phantom and Loki were severely lacking in what humans would call “key factors”. The sort of things that a child could not get on their own, but had to be given by others.
Loki had most anything thing he wished for at his finger tips, he know what was expected of him, and he grew up safe and protected within Asgard’s halls. But he did not have the love or support that all children crave.
Odin was cold and distant, all could see he clearly favored Thor over Loki. And while Thor did care for his brother, he was quite insensitive at times like children often are. Frigga truly loved her son, but she could not give him the help he needed without angering Odin.
Loki was aware of Asgard’s standards for its princes, but he could not live up to them. He could not fit the mold that his brother seemingly embodied. That he was scorned for something beyond his control was quite unfair.
And while Asgard’s palace was perhaps the safest place in all of the nine realms, Odin’s confinement of him to it unless he was accompanied by another meant that Loki could not find acceptance amongst those outside of Asgard’s influence.
Phantom on the other hand had parents that were warm and loving if a bit oblivious, his older sister perhaps too understanding, and friends that accepted him for who and what he was.
The problems came from other factors. Like the Fenton’s home, it was in all honesty a death trap. A wonder that boy's accident didn’t happen much sooner.
The Fenton’s had no clear exceptions for their children futures, simply hoping that they grow up happy. A tactic that works for some, but not Phantom. With no help on how to find his own purpose in life, it was of little surprise that he would latch on so tightly to stopping other ghosts from causing harm to the living. He saw it as his mistake, and his job to fix it.
And of course the things Phantom wanted could not be gained by throwing money at them. The recognition and praise of his peers could not be bought. Nor could the acknowledgment of his sacrifices to defend his home.
The core problem for both boys was the same, even if their situations were complete different. It was opposite sides of a coin. Each having an abundance of what the other lacked. Even their personalities seemed to follow the same pattern. Different but yet also complimentary, possessing traits that would balance the other out.
Loki was meticulous and thoughtful, always looking before he leaped. While Phantom dove in head first without any sort of planning. But Phantom's first thought was always for the well being of others, and never for his own needs. And Loki would not action unless it was beneficial to someone, or furthered some goal. Not to mention both were chaotic and loved mischief.
They would work well together.
But was the solution he had been searching for really so simple? Did the two merely need to cross paths? Would their meeting even affect anything?
Looking Clockwork could see that there were a handful of timelines were Loki and Phantom would meet. However when they did, it was always too late. One or both of them were already beyond help. They would have to meet far early than normaly possible for any difference to be made.
That was little problem for Clockwork though. He was the master of all time after all, a small interference as all it would take to speed up the two’s meeting.
Of course the Observants would not permit such an action. It would be too great a risk in their eyes. But they were still unaware of the looming danger. And If they were unaware of the problem now, then they would continue to be unaware after Clockwork fixed said problem.
What the Observants did not know, could not hurt them. And it could only help Phantom and Loki.
Now to see what sort of futures would come about if he caused the two to meet as children.
Yes. The resulting timelines were much better. None of the nine realms seemed likely to collapse. No great disasters appeared to destroy half of all life, and everything seemed peaceful.
All Clockwork had to do was choose which timeline was the best for all involved. An easy task. Finally.
And… Yes. That one. That one looked promising.
Clockwork had been making things harder than they truly were. He had solved two problems for the price of one. And all it would cost was a well placed portal and two time medallions. A fair trade for saving the future if Clockwork was being honest.

Ps. I haven't tried to write anything with character voices or flowery prose since high school so I'm sorry if it was painful to read
clockworks canon design is nice and all but I'm not drawling half a dozen watches for every panel he's in, so I thought I'd change up his gloves + staff and call it a day. course then I went and shot my self in the foot by looking up medieval clothes and deciding that yes intricate patterns is totally something I want to add to my clockwork redesign, it definitely isn't going double the time it takes to draw him, it in no way cancels out my attempt to make him easier to draw.
(also his canon color palette bugs me but I've got no idea why. will probably change it a little bit for Haunted Ties)
op here re-blogging my stuff to a new account cause I’m an idiot who locked herself out of her own blog by fucking accident. sorry if this is weird or confusing.

na, cause these characters don’t live in the forest. I’ve actually been thinking of making them nomadic for the dad’s work (or lack of it), so they don’t really live anywhere.

some possible background characters for Haunted Ties. cause there aren’t enough canon ghosts to fill all the roles I’ve got lined up for the story. don’t worry though, all the important roles are going to canon characters.
nothing about these designs is final, there’s still room for improvement (and I’ve got no idea what their colors will be), but I figured I might as post them. If you’ve got any opinion on how to improve them, i’m all ears.

more of the mythology and fairy stuff cus I got bit by the inspiration bug over the weekend.
the twins are this guy’s kids, and they’re either 1-better at looking human than their dad, or 2- only part shapeshifter.(haven’t decided which)
no names yet but, the purple one is curious and talks a mile a minute while being super shy, and the green one is a hot head and a huge trouble maker yet is also oddly quite.

1st attempt at drawling cujo + an older Ellie(dani) for size comparison. hopefully this looks half way decent, cause im not good when it comes to drawling animals
cujo’s canon color palette is sorta headache inducing so i’m gonna lower the green’s saturation a bit next time i draw him.(will probably make it a bit darker too)
also cujo doesn’t have a canon breed which made trying to find reference pic.s really annoying, but i read somewhere that cujo resembles a bull-mastiff (possibly a mixed breed) so thats what I when with.
