Be Not Afraid
Danny's forms were pretty stable in the Infinite Realms, and well, his own dimension. The problem was when he had to run certain errands elsewhere (Clockwork's fault) and the universes didn't know where to put him.
Despite having two defined forms in his original dimension. The other dimensions seemed to decide that Danny didn't need that, and his humanity had to go, or something. The halfa couldn't understand it.
So of course, he ended up looking very amorphous and strange when he traveled to other dimensions. Sometimes with multiple eyes, at other times his body was made of pieces of ice, there were times when he was just a toxic green eye that glowed and blinded whoever saw it. The only thing that remained constant was that he didn't look human. Which made most of his tasks difficult. People feared the unknown after all.
When he arrived in the DC universe he didn't expect a welcoming committee. He even told them "Be not afraid" the moment he landed on a crowded street, but apparently that was counterproductive, since they classified him as some kind of avenging angel.
With a sigh, Danny kept exploring and the strangest things happened to him: Two glowing rings chased him everywhere (One was black and the other was white, but he had a feeling that taking them wouldn't be the smartest move, the ring and the crown were very jealous since he was crowned after all)
And a British magician... flirted with him? Danny was pretty sure the hellbazer was seeing him as eyes and ice floating but that didn't seem to stop him from trying. The halfa didn't know if he was flattered or worried.
Anyway, he couldn't find Dr. Fate, nor "Justice League Dark", whatever it was. But the wizard, Constantine, was willing to take him on a date. The rings continued to follow him while some people with green rings looked in the background (they looked strangely scared) and a new religion had been created for "The Great One" which reminded him of Frostbite.
Traveling was hard.

My Pirate Captain, Zelene Strongmoon I decided to draw as a human this time.
Started to color her but i don't like my coloring so just have the lineart
Originally she's a Leonin- so her story is based off that type of background
But she's an angry Path of Beast Barbarian with a soft spot for birds people/children
i have a lot of ideas for her.
In the end she is a self proclaimed Queen Admiral, and basically has a personal 'fleet' known as the Moonraiders(which i only have 4 named ships of)

I finished the second Fitz and the Fool book! This trilogy continues to be totally insane, with the reveal that Bee is the magical love child of Fitz and the Fool. She is every teenagers attempt to give their same sex OTP a bio kid only in an actual popular book. That said, I really really enjoyed this one. It was nice to spend more time with characters I hadn’t seen in a while (Dutiful! Thick! Elliania! Malta and Reyn!) though I continue not to be huge on either of Chades kids.
There was also some nice showcasing of cornerstone relationships. As Chade started to slip into old age, he and Fitz had some surprisingly emotional and affecting moments. The royal family welcoming Fitz back to public life and finally talking about what really happened in the Mountains was very powerful. The reveal that Kettricken has known the truth about how her son was made the whole time reframes how she encouraged his relationship with Fitz. And of course, the backbone of the story, Fitz and the Fool had some of my favorite interactions yet. From the Fools “I have been with you in every way that counts” speech to Fitz coming to accept his various personas to the unconditional love and care he shows as the Fool recovers physically and mentally, I think they’ve gotten to a point where they both fully understand and embrace what they are to each other.
It’s not all healthy and wholesome with the two of them though. I worry about their obsession with vengeance, especially the Fool. It reminds me of Fitz in the early parts of Assassins Quest, when all he could think about was getting back at Regal, and one of the central messages of that book ended up being that revenge is hollow and ultimately pointless and he opts against it when he does get the chance, so it’s interesting to see him go down that path again. It may seem redundant in another series, but RotE is much more true to life, and Fitz being tempted to go back down a toxic path because it feels satisfying in a moment of grief and rage is very human, especially with the Fool actively stoking the flames instead of encouraging him to take a step back. It will be interesting to see how this goes when the two of them find out that Bee is alive and well.

a habitable state of the twili realm relies almost entirely on the welfare of its people. what we see in the game is the result of Zant taking over and letting things (in all essence) decay. it was comparable to when the interlopers were first thrown into the realm -- inhospitable and seemingly barren. granted, there were no structures or technology in place at that time, but it is strikingly similar to what the twili have in forms of ancient texts that describe their ancestors’ lives.
wildlife and foliage was basically nonexistent, or unusable in its original form when the interlopers were initially imprisoned. magic users and those with wildlife expertise -- farmers, botanists, alchemists, etc -- formed the pinnacle of sustainability for the future generations within the realm. they collaborated to experiment and germinate crops that could grow even in the eternally dim light, cross-pollinating existing vegetation with what might have been on their person at the time or using magic to stimulate growth of different varieties similar to what they were famliar back in the light realm.
it should be noted that the entirety of the twilight realm isn’t populated with these plants and creatures that the interlopers first developed, but the area which is seen and explored within the actual game is the culmination of their work. due to this new ecosystem having been created through artificial means however, it also requires upkeep from the twili people to this day. that is to say, if members of the twili do not make sure things are properly maintained, all that which was created by their ancestors will return to the way it was; a hostile ecosystem with which the twili people would not be able to sustain themselves, no matter how much they’ve come to reflect the realm in which they live.
because Zant’s main goal was dominion over the light realm, the twili who were responsible for caring and upholding their ancestors duties were morphed to better suit their new kings’ needs. though it could be argued the usurper saw no benefit for these stations if the twilight realm was to take over the verdant light realm, the lack of upkeep quickly saw to the twili realm’s dark and wasted appearance during his rule.
this was one of the main reasons as to why Midna chose to return to her realm and shatter the mirror. the prospect of her people facing any further disruption to the dire need of restoration out weighed all other desires she might have had to keep the portal open. the twili needed someone to help them and their realm heal, and the mirror posed too much of a threat to both of those for it to stay intact.

Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!
See, ghosts got bored, a lot, Danny did too. When Amity became a neutral and cooperative zone they decided to go exploring. Which was mostly fine, since most of them didn't really mean any harm. And the GIW had been dismantled, Danny preferred to let people speculate why rather than answer.
The problem arose when the ghosts of the Realms encountered other types of ghosts. Apparently there were spirits that did not reach the Realms and became weak or simply vengeful (spiteful?)
The ghosts Danny knew were very upset because apparently "weak" ghosts were extremely rude. So he started talking to them (when they didn't want to talk, or refused, the thermos was a good solution)
Very quickly people started calling him "Ghostbuster", he found it ironic since he wasn't actually repelling ghosts, he was attracting them and sometimes collecting them. A ghost named Deadman yelled at him for not "respecting the rights of the dead", to which the halfa raised an eyebrow. The ghost vanished before he could explain that all ghosts were in the Realms or Amity (where people didn't really mind sharing a house with a spirit).
He shrugged and continued visiting all the ghosts that his friends pointed out to him. He argued with a certain "Zatanna Zatara" and "John Constantine" for disturbing the rest of the dead. Danny rolled his eyes as he chose to ignore them.
It wasn't long before Justice League Dark branded him a "ghost threat" and people in general called him out asking for help with their haunted houses (Danny hadn't really considered turning his travels into a job but at least he was getting paid). The halfa wondered how wizards would react if they knew he was ghost hybrid and his "Ghostbuster Team" was full of ghosts.

The way that I’m brainrotting over a DCxDP crossover with a Danny who’s a vengeful villain rn
Like, let’s just say that the GiW finally get into contact with the JL. They need help neutralizing a threat, you see, and they’re on their last limb trying to keep civilians safe.
They have video evidence! They have studies to back their claims! The JL have to help them!
Unfortunately, the JL believe them. They join a fight against Danny, and defeat him due to being far more experienced than he is. Danny is locked away and experimented on by the GiW.
That would CHANGE a person. Your heroes turning against you and seeing you as a monster, being experimented on for who knows how long, not knowing if your friends and family are safe.
Danny gets out due to a simple mistake on the GiW’s part; having Blüdhaven as part of their transport route.
Of course the trucks were attacked, they’re government property!
So now, whoever decided to raid the government transport trucks (the Penguin or something) has a ton of experimental weapons with no idea how they work, and a heavily traumatized teenager.
Danny knows how they work. Danny can be useful! They won’t throw him out if he’s useful! And so, now Danny is working for the Penguin, altering the ectoplasm weapons to make them work on humans.
It’s a good deal for both parties. Danny gets to neurotically imprint on the Penguin like a small baby animal, and the Penguin gets a brilliant mind who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
But eventually, Danny finds out what happened to his family in his absence.
Jazz is in Arkham. Not as a psychologist, but as a “patient.” Apparently, she snapped and completely destroyed the house, leveled a few blocks of Amity Park, and conducted organized attacks on government bases (mostly GiW) for months.
Sam and Tucker helped her, eventually splitting once Jazz was captured. Sam travels to areas of extreme pollution, completely overgrowing them with her plant powers. Currently she’s in the Amazon rainforest, engaging in an ongoing feud with logging companies. Sam is winning.
Tucker faked his death, and Danny has no idea where he is. He only knows that the death wasn’t real because of a code that the three of them made together, just in case.
Ellie’s trapped in the Infinite Realms. Danny had a failsafe in place so that if she was ever cornered by the GiW, she would be sent to her haunt in the GZ. However, with the portal destroyed, she can’t come back. Danny just hopes she’s okay.
His parents are now top GiW scientists. They’re traveling the country giving speeches. They’re working on a battery powered by ectoplasm, but apparently started “having difficulties” around the same time that Danny escaped.
None of it is fair. None of it is right.
The Justice League destroyed his life, the lives of his friends, and they’re doing as good as ever. The GiW is respected, and his parents are happily working away for them.
Danny takes up some of his more experimental weapons and breaks Jazz out of Arkham. She’s a little different now, colder and more quiet, but she still loves him all the same. It’s an unimaginable comfort to him to see his sister again.
He can’t use his powers anymore. He’s so used to associating them with pain that even transforming into his ghost form is enough to take him down for hours.
However, he understands ectoplasm more than anyone else in the world. He knows how to use it in virtually everything; how it can become a weapon, how it can be used as a supplemental ingredient in poisons and nerve agents, how it can twist and distort the mind if applied correctly.
He doesn’t care what happens to him. He’s going to take down the GiW, and destroy the lives of the JL members who helped lock him away, just as they did to him.
No matter the cost.

The latest warframe update just made me realize how hilarious a lot of the worldbuilding for Deimos sounds. To count:
-it is the moon that holds the one power source for your main tool in the game
-it is completely infected by the cyborg disease that turns you into a flesh monster. To the point it has boils and organs
-one of the only safe spots is the home of a family consisting of members of a superhuman race that ran the most oppressive empire possible
-the family are all sticking out of giant flesh flowers and act like a sitcom about the least functional family possibly
-one member of the family helps organize a small guerilla warfare group that regularly sabotages the remnants of a cult that briefly took over the solar system (through what’s essentially future discord/zoom)
-another member bought a series of vents on a space evangelist’s slave colony on Venus so the homeless kids living there don’t have to worry about being evicted from there so they can continue setting up street races
-deep below the surface, the boyfriend of the family’s distant patriarch who discovered a parallel dimension that warps space was snoozing for millennia.
-said boyfriend is currently helping organizing a lab manned by talking animals made to safely send the patriarch to 1999 in order to distract an eldritch entity from the realm he discovered and fight off said entity as he sends his minions to tear the lab apart
-the only person who knows about this lab is a robot servant based off the boyfriend, who has a human skull embedded in him and a split personality that speaks through cracks on his back made to look like a face
-this planet lets you get mechs (with human skulls in the cockpits)
-during the event where a different member of the superhuman overlord race usurped an army of a vengeful robot race to take over the solar system, they completely avoided this moon like the plague (which is technically is)
-upon finding the lab you are given a book of spells

Lady Gotham raises Bruce Wayne
After the tragedy that happened on that fateful night in Park Row, the Spirit of Gotham understood something.
Bruce Wayne was destined to become the Dark Knight of her City, the Protector of Gotham and all of her peoples, as well as one of the Greatest Heroes to ever exist. And to fulfill that Destiny his life would be filled with hardships and pain beyond what most Mortal men would be able to Handle.
So, she decided, "Nope. My child, my rules."
She may not be as caring or compassionate as her Sister, Metropolis, but she can still feel enough compassion to know that she doesn't want this little boy to suffer all that alone.
So she takes on a Mortal Form and crafts herself an Identity, and then gets herself Hired as the new Maid, as a partner to Alfred.
She take up a Maternal Role in Bruce's life, similar to Alfred's Paternal Role. But while Alfred starts teaching Bruce about all of his old MI6 Training, Lady Gotham starts training Bruce is more Mystical stuff.
She basically teaches him everything there is to know about Magic, everything he could possibly ever need.
She teaches him about the different monsters of the world, how they can be beaten and how they can be befriended.
She teaches him about all the different types of Magic she knows of, just so he knows what he is getting into if he ever decides to learn how to use it. Or how to counter it.
She teaches him about all the different dimensions she can think of, from the Fae Wilds to the Ghost Zone. In fact, she teaches him mostly about her own original home, the Infinite Realms.
She tells him about the history of the Realms, how they came to be and all about the beings thay reside there.
She tells him the story of Pariah Dark, the good king who fell to his own Hubris and became a tyrant.
She tells him about Clockwork, the Ghost of an Ancient Tita who now lives in search of redemption by keeping the world safe.
She tells him about the Ancients, who banded together to Seal away the Tyrant Pariah, and then split up to rule over their own Kingdoms.
And this information comes in handy when he eventually becomes the Batman. While he never did learn how to use Magic, he is still one of the most accomplished Magical Consultants in the World (Something that really ticks off a certain sad trenchcoat man). Whenever the League has an Issue with a Magical Threat, they always turn to Batman.
So Lady Gotham thinks she did her job pretty well.
And then he adopts kid...and she absolutely ADORES THEM!
Dick is so Carefree and fun! Jason was such a bookworm, even after his death and resurrection! Tim was such a smart kid, she was honestly hoping he would be chosen as the next Robin. Stephanie added a much needed air of joy to the house, for her short time with them. And Damian was such a petulant but creative child!
She absolutely loves them!
So when some crooks manage to kidnap HER Grandbabies while they are on a civilian family bonding trip to the Park, there will be Hell to Pay.
She may not be as compassionate as her sister, but she can be twice as Vengeful.
