Clone^2 Damian

If you really think about, Damian's situation in the clone^2 au is... kinda tragic? Especially in the early months of his arrival. Like,,, think about it. Damian has always known he was a clone of Damian Wayne, that he was a copy of the blood son. There was nothing 'original' about him, not even his name (of which at least Danny has that). He was just... a replacement. A disposable one, to boot.

And he knew that, to an extent, by the time he was six years old. he might not have been actively acknowledging it -- he's six years old -- but deep down he knew. And like, he's six years old. Every small child craves the love and affection of an adult, especially their parents, and even though he knew he was clone, I imagine he still considered - and still does consider, somewhat - Talia and Bruce as his mother and father. And I really doubt he was... getting it?

Now, I know Talia loves Damian, her son. At least in some interpretations she does, and in this au she does. But... a clone of her son? I'm not so certain if she would have the same affection for baby Dames as she would for Damian. I don't think she would treat him badly, but I don't think Talia would treat him warmly either. Kinda just, distant. Colder than she would have been with OG Damian.

And, I know I've mentioned Damian's arrival from Danny's point of view, and its kind of comical kind of insane from his perspective -- a little boy clone of Damian Wayne falls through a portal and immediately attacks him. That sounds like a bad joke.

But, if you think of this from Damian's point of view? It's like he just got dropped into a scary movie. Like, think about it. You're six years old, and suddenly a portal, as green and as swirling as your grandfather's pools, opens up beneath your feet and sucks you through.

After an intense bout of vertigo, you end up in a massive, urban city -- completely different from the rural mountain palace that you lived in for the last six years of your life, and in this city, you don't know any of the language. You don't know what anyone is saying, you can't read any of the signs - you are completely stranded, away from home.

And then, to make things worse, you're facing a figure with a terrifying mask and eyes as burning green as the portal you fell through. Of course Damian's first instinct, six years old, is to attack. He's terrified.

And this figure, he's not a good fighter, but he's fast, and he dodges you quickly. He grabs your sword with his hands, and tries to restrain you, saying something in a language you don't know. Naturally, Damian is just scared. He's six! He'd just be learning how to read if he was normal child going to school.

This figure halfway through the fight yanks off his mask -- he realizes you're scared -- and looking at you now, is a youthful version of your father. This is a clone of your dad, someone you have never met but, six years old, still wants to. Damian gets defensive. This is an imposter.

But this imposter eventually gets you home with him - and he's using his little box, his phone, to communicate with you through a mechanical voice speaking in arabic. and it's frustrating. The boy, the imposter, can say whatever to you just fine, but trying to talk back is a hassle and a half. He's six, he doesn't have that much patience.

He wants to go home.

And so he keeps trying to run away. He keeps trying to find out of this hellish concrete jungle, and he keeps getting lost. It's loud, and busy, and there are people talking to you and you don't understand them, and there are rules and signs you don't understand - Damian tries to cross the street and nearly gets hit by a car. He doesn't know how the road signs work, he was never taught. They didn't get to that.

And he gets lost. And it gets dark, and Damian is brave, but he is six, and this is the worst stress he's been under in all his six years of life. He wants, desperately more than anything, to go home. Why wouldn't he? The only stable... semi-stable environment he was in just got ripped out from under his feet, literally! He wants his mother.

And it's not happening.

But there's something good to be said, at least. The imposter that looks like his father always comes and finds him, no matter what. He could have left that morning, and he will find Damian at midnight, frazzled and worried, and carrying an extra jacket with him because it is cold in Amity Park and Damian is six years old.

And sometimes Damian attacks him - he's scared and stressed and he doesn't want to be here. And every time he catches the sword. Even though Damian can see it cut into his hand and pearls of blood well up and stains his fingers. Even though Damian can see him wince in pain and bite his lip, he still catches it.

But with that little box, he coaxes Damian to come back with him. It's cold, it's dark, Amity Park is unsafe at night. They can figure something out tomorrow, please. And every time, he agrees, reluctantly. And the imposter takes the extra jacket he brought with -- a flannel, a hoodie, a jacket -- and he wraps it around him. It's warm, Damian's clothes are not that thick, and even though he thinks he might hate this imposter, he still sticks close to his legs as he leads him down the street.

And sometimes the imposter carries him, because Damian's shoes are not that thick, and he cuts his foot on broken glass while they're walking home. The imposter sits in the bathroom with him and carefully cleans the cut out, and makes sure it doesn't get infected.

There's hope you know, he still has it. His mother will be looking for him. She'll be worried. He's important to them. Damian may not be the original, but he is still a blood son. He is still her son. She will come find him. This nightmare will end soon. He can go home.

And then weeks pass, and nothing. Then months, and nothing. His family is not coming for him, and it hurts. Hurts more than anything. And yet while that happens, the boy he's attacked, and hurt, teaches himself arabic in order to speak to him. He takes Damian out of the house one afternoon and buys him new clothes, or tries to. And then he keeps buying him new clothes. He gives him blankets and gives up his bed to him until they can get him one himself, and steadily he teaches Damian english.

This boy is kind. Kinder than Damian's ever experienced, and he doesn't know what to do with it. He's devastated by the fact that he is not as important to his family as his family is to him. What do you do when you're six years old and you learn something like that? When a random stranger who looks like your father is kinder to you, and cares more about you than your family did?

And then Damian tells him he's a clone. He's Damian Wayne's clone, and he tells him his purpose - that their grandfather made him to kill him. And the boy, the imposter, Damian thinks he probably already knows that he's a clone. But he doesn't say that. He just nods, and asks him if he wants to tell his original about him.

Damian says no. He doesn't want to. He's tired of living in the shadow of his original. He wants to keep this to himself. This is his. For once, all of this is his.

And to his surprise, the imposter doesn't try and convince him otherwise. He just nods, and says okay. And when Damian asks why, the imposter - his brother - looks at him and says.

"I don't care about Damian Wayne. I care about you." And in Damian's gobsmacked silence, his brother continues. He tells him that if Damian doesn't want to tell his original that he exists, then they don't need to. They don't need to worry about the LoA going after him, because clearly if his 'grandfather' needs to make a clone of Damian in order to take him out, then whatever it was that Damian Wayne was doing to keep himself safe, was working.

"Wayne already has people in his corner, he's got Gotham's army of vigilantes to keep himself safe." his brother says with his eyes as blue as moonlight. "You, however. Do not." And he continues, and says that if Damian Wayne has the same training as Damian does, then he will be fine. He doesn't need to be aware of his clone. Because if DW doesn't know about Damian, then the LoA doesn't either.

And here's the thing. Damian would not have survived in the LoA for long. Not as a clone. No matter what, he was going to die no matter what he did, and sooner rather than later. The sword of Damocles was always hanging above his head in the League of Assassins.

That portal, and meeting Danny, saved his life. There's no way around it. And to an extent Damian knows this even at six years old. He may not be aware that he would've died, but he knows that meeting Danny was the best thing to happen to him.

It's no wonder after that, that Damian is as clingy to Danny as he is. Danny is the first person he's met to offer him unconditional love, with no strings attached, only pure affection.

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dpdc #dpxdc crossover #clone^2 #like god can you imagine how scared he must've been? how afraid? he just wants his mom - only to realize he doesnt even matter to her #dpxdc au #danny fenton is not the ghost king #this poor kid man. no wonder he latched onto danny the moment he gave up on the league like a leech. he's a six year old kid man and #it doesnt matter how smart he is or how mature he acts. he still is six years old. he still needs that validation and affection from adults #or from people older than him. and his emotional needs were just not being met in the league.#cue the song “two” from sleeping at last - some of their songs are very clone^2 honestly.#'sweetheart you look a little tired. when did you last eat? come in and make yourself right at home. stay as long as you need.'#'tell me is something wrong? if something's wrong you can count on me'#'its okay if you can't find the words. let me take your coat and this weight off of your shoulders'#'like a force to be reckoned with. am i the ocean or a gentle kiss. i will love you with every single thing i have'#'like a tidal wave i'll make a mess. or calm waters if that serves you best'#'i will love you without any strings attached'#like just. just *imagine* being in damian's shoes during all of this. he's *six* you guys. i've worked with six year olds and they're #pretty independent but they're still six. they get excited when they see their parents and they get upset when an adult is angry with them.#they're still developing their motor skills. they're still developing everything else!

sleepy morning with the boys

#ts4 #simblr #ts4 edit #ts4 render #sims 4 #myedits #kelly #dhestyn #i apologize for the long post #this originally had 6 photos for a grid format but #i don't really like the other 3 so. yea.#full disclosure it is actually very rare for kelly to wake up at the same time as dhes #kel is literally a cat. he will sleep 16 hours a day if dhes lets him #& dhes gets out of bed at like 4:30/5 every morning #he'll cook a full breakfast & do a load of laundry & go for a jog before going to work #he also usually feeds duder bc if he doesn't she will yell & bother kelly until he wakes up #kel has to be woken up gently or he'll get cranky lol #he tends to wake up later in the morning & pick up lunch for everyone at the shop before walking to work #then the boys will drive home together at the end of their shifts #dani kind of just lets them come & go whenever they want. they mostly make their own hours #she doesn't care as long as they show up for work at some point

Im exhausted and have come to the conclusion that sleepy cuddles with könig would cure me

there is something about fluffy scenarios with König that activates an otherworldly emotion in me.

König is probably exhausted when he does finally come home from leave: all of the adrenaline finally out of his system and all he wants is to carry you off to bed for a while. There’s no real reason why he even invested in that massive mattress and bed frame, because he curls into you so tightly most of the room is entirely unused. He could fall asleep in minutes cozied up with you, would sooner die than go without listening to your voice prattle on about what you’ve done, made, or saw while he was away. He wants to know everything while he perches his chin on your shoulder, one arm beneath your back and the other curled over your middle.

He would tell you rather candidly what he’s been up to, too, about how he had to buy a new pair of boots or a vest because there’s just no getting the stains out this time, bluntly tells you how terribly he’s missed you and what he’s had to do to push those thoughts away because he may have just convinced himself to go awol and return to you otherwise. The short conversations during the weeks he’s been away just have not been enough. He wants to consume you in the most benevolent way: breathe in your hair and bask in the floral scent of your conditioner, press kiss after kiss to each inch of exposed skin, squeeze you tighter than what would be comfortable just to hear you squeak and feel how you inevitably begin to relax with him, grapple on to each word you speak and watch you with rapt attention because my god - this is all he’s ever wanted.

To have someone with him like this, telling him that they’ve missed him too, that they love him… returning his affection with slow nuzzles and soft kisses, quiet laughter as you pull a blanket over the both of you and twist around on your side to be nearer to him. When you both go quiet and you begin to hear his soft snoring, it’s almost a comfort in itself. He’s home, comfortable, and so very in love… how could you not just want to admire him for a little longer? Give him a kiss on the cheek just to hear him mumble some little pet name in his sleep as he pulls you in closer.

In the morning, when you find your legs tangled and his head on your chest, you drowsily ask him what he wants for breakfast or if he would like for you to ready the coffee pot. König would only tell you to order in something, you’re going to be here for a while.

#god forbid you let him sleep on his side too long though because the SNORK MIMIMIs Kö would be capable of are deafening…#worst part about him coming home? the next night you’re battling crumbs in the bed because all this guy is going to want to do is cuddle #& get intimate for a solid 24 hours. /: breaks for eating just mean being tucked beside him to talk or watch a film!

He was a human pirate, which you wouldn’t think you’d have to specify and yet (Patreon)

#Doodles #SCII #ZEX #The Captain #This isn't even a sci-fi pirate adventure anymore this is just straight up human pirates lol #How many layers deep can we go until it's unrecognizable! Next up is Pirate AU!Helix! (Kidding. For now) Lol #There is something funny about it all to me as well considering how in-line it fits with the research I was doing for a Vargas fic concept #All these bodice-rippers coming home to roost lol ♪#Which is also interesting 'cause I hadn't thought about this particular fic from that perspective before but it also fits! It works well!#Yet another angle to approach it from on a reread haha ♫#ANYway lol - human!Pirate!SCII specifically finally lol #I do love just how openly attracted the Captain is to ZEX as a human haha - his attraction/disgust to VUX-ZEX is wonderful of course #It's just so silly and cute how honest he is when ZEX is in a body that he's aesthetically attracted to haha #And ZEX recognizing and utilizing that! But it still not quite tipping him over to being completely sold on the whole kidnapping thing lol #''I don't understand it! I look beautiful and I /know/ he's attracted to me! What could be stopping him from sleeping with me???" lol #Keep trying ZEX I'm sure you'll get it at some point haha #Finishing off with an idea of ZEX having to deal with a hostile and still not quite trusting the Captain not to run away #Or risk him getting hurt! ZEX can handle this! Let him protect you!#But the Captain also wants to help! And/or escape y'know whatever's most convenient haha #He's proud <3 And he does have an affinity with ZEX at this point - he knows he can be useful! But that's not what's most important to ZEX #Also being scolded and blushing a bit hehe ♪ Given just a bit of pause to be told by such a pretty face to ''Behave'' ♫#I do really like ZEX with the coat and braids hehe <3 Handsome

im home and already swallowed by despair. can you believe i was in CHICAGO a few hours ago. and now im here. lol

#i know i know. and i need to let the anguish motivate me to get out of here. but it feels like i dreamed it all #purrs #chicago #i had a rough time getting out of the hotel and through the airport to my gate and also im bad at math so i fucked up the calculation about #when my flight lands bc of the time zone change and i gave my parents the time in central time not eastern time so my dad was waiting for m #for like a half hour and texting me and i wasn’t answering bc i was still in the air and he was pissed at me and snarky in my texts with hi #and i was sitting there on the plane and could just feel his words ripping into me and the horrors rushing back in and i still haven’t #recovered from it honestly. it wasn’t that big of a deal he just said something that i misunderstood as him saying he was giving up waiting #for me and going home bc id already wasted his time and even though that was not what he actually said it just kinda burrowed into me that #my parents were mad at me and were probably also mad at me for not communicating with them AT ALL the entire time i was in chicago. and it #just was eating me alive. im home now and we haven’t talked about it but they did say things disapproving of the fact that i did a lot of #stuff by myself which i probably shouldn’t have told them. idk. it’s not even that bad i just am torn apart by their rejection of me and #utter inability to just like be happy for me without criticizing some part of it or restraining me. plus the house is just as much of a #biohazard as it was when i left and all the broken things are still broken and it’s like. a lot. i miss the hotel LOL #i think im just sleep deprived and not in my head right today but i do not want to be here. sinking in quicksand unable to breathe. but i #have to be the one to get me out of it and i should have learned how in chicago but i didn’t it was just a break and now im stuck again #delete later #kind of terrible that instead of being so proud and happy about what i did my immediate reaction is to be miserable that im home now lol

one of the best lines I’ve ever written is “[harrison’s] not wise. he never wants to be again” in ch. 2 of BODY BACK like holy actual cow the level of self-awareness there & the pain there & the anger there & the jadedness there & the vulnerability there & the heartbreak there & the desperation there & the sadness there & the longing there & the certainty there & the hurt there & the—

#like idk I could pick apart what this one line means to him at this moment when it’s stated #it’s quite literally the thesis of this book—Harrison’s EMOTIONAL thesis #like he spent ALLLL of moth work doing the ‘right’ thing #Lonan can’t be in his father’s cabin because of his history there???#all good they’ll sleep in a tent #Lonan is actually ready to enter his father’s cabin when he’s just alone with Harrison?#nice let’s go in #Lonan just wants to hold him in the bathroom??#great he’ll be held #Lonan thinks he sees the ghost of his father???#all good let’s leave the cabin for good it’s clearly making things worse #Lonan can’t handle being in Oregon anymore??#totally fine let’s drive him solo across the country all the way to home #WHOLE BOOK PROGRESSES like that — Lonan having needs and harrison dropping his #entire life to provide them #this man who I love very much but is struggling to accept himself and therefore me??#all good I can take that #this man continues to hurt me because he himself is so hurt he doesn’t even know how to handle himself???#I can carry that #for all intents and purposes Harrison’s trying to do the right thing in MW #AND IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!#I think so much of body back is Harrison trying so hard to forget that man #not Lonan no but the version of himself #who loved Lonan at all #because if he remembers that person he’ll remember how much the love he gave didn’t seem to matter #and this line in BB I think is the only moment we see MW Harrison peak through #he’s sooooo vulnerable there—he knows he was once ‘wise’ in doing all the right things for Lonan #he also knows none of that matters because lonan’s not here #& he cannot handle that at all << ok tag essay over #btw this entire thing inspired me to create a new podcast lmaooo y’all heard it here first folks!!!

sometimes i think abt the only times shinichi feels his voice is heard is when hes using someones elses voice (upsetting) but then i remember that he usually just sits right behind the guy he drugged (hilarious). sometimes he even just stands right in front w his back facing the room. detective conan is objectively the funniest show ever

#dcmk #my art #edogawa conan #mouris back is there but. nah no tag #like... god thats so funny. thats so fucked up. normally ppl dont even listen to teenagers #and now no one listens to a kid. he gets things snatched out of his hands #yoinked like hes a weightless grape #rans goes through like 10 different suspicion arcs where shes like lets listen and respect conan #and then immediately after they get resolved shes like no mister ur in the way again silly #my little guy just wants cases to rest. he wants to go home and read a book on the most niche topic ever #sometimes i also think about if sleeping kogorou gives him comfort or not #its the one thing he can rlly control without going through a million arere hoops #yeah it sucks that kogorou is just knocked out all the time i guess. rip to him but #honestly its the Only time ppl just shut up and let him control the scene exactly the way he wants #every other time its adults going haha crime scenes arent for kids. getting scolded by ran or mouri. kids following him. etc #when sleeping kogorou comes into play its like the world falls silent #its just him orchestrating a show. him the audience and the thrumming tension in the air as he unravels a story #anyway. hes either the best or worst at hide and seek #cant tell if his clothes r stupid enough but they feel funny to me and thats all that matters

I totally understand not feeling human and not being able to think properly without 8 hours of sleep because I am the same but I just can't imagine the man who is a model/actor/CEO of boc music s family business and just loves to have late night sessions with his guitar and consistently posts 3 am ig reels somehow also gets 8 hours of sleep a day. WHEN DO YOU HAVE THE TIME MILE??!??

NONNIIIIEEEEEE 😭😭😭😭

the man being busy is an understatement lol

i honestly don't think he's getting his eight hours.....not daily for sure

but he's managing to keep himself fit and available for the commitments that he's required to be at so that's a great thing

honestly, back in my 20s i also did A LOT on a daily basis along with travelling long distances...i was young and had slightly more energy than now and was passionate about the things i did

and i think it does come down to that a bit....your own passion and joy that you derive out of things....that helps drive oneself to do more of it i think...along with MANY other factors ofc but yeah, this is one big factor too

and i'm VERY VERY happy that mile has given himself this opportunity to pursue his love for music in a professional way.....he's a music lover and a business lover so why not combine both the loves right?

i hope he gets time and energy to look after the family business as well

nonnie we can wish mile success in all his endeavours and wish for him to be healthy and happy!

#mile phakphum #mile phakphum romsaithong #being tired is VERY natural but it hurts me so much when i can SEE that he's sleepy af and taking flights here and there #i used to wake up at 5:30 in the morning..get ready..make breakfast..pack lunch and be out of the house by 7 and then travel for an hour #or more to reach office....i did it DAILY for SO long #so yes....people have tough and busy lives....mile is no exception #but my god i just want to wrap him up and bring him home and feed him indian food and let him SLEEP peacefully for an ENTIRE night #AND let him nap next day too #istg i won't even touch him (AND THAT'S SAYING A LOT) if it means i'll be taking time away from his rest time #he's doing well despite being busy bless him #thanks for the ask nonnie! <33
