“Rise, my boy. I trust the medical staff has taken good care of you.”

“Yes, my emperor,” he answered easily, pulling a chuckle from the old husk of a Sith as Luke straightened.

“Your father too holds little regard for them.” Interesting. Palpatine wanted him to know that he knew how little the younger Skywalker thought of Coruscant’s best. But did he know that Luke had slipped out and where he'd been? Force knew there were layers to every word he uttered. It kept people guessing as to just how far his visions took him, just how much he Saw, and if they could truly get something past him. Just because he hadn’t been hauled out for the first public execution didn’t mean that he was in the clear. Or Mara. Or his father.

“I fear I don’t have the patience for medical staff in general,” Luke answered and that seemed to amuse his father’s master.

“Or for protocol.”

Luke found gold eyes focused on him and he felt his father touch his mind over their bond, looking for what this might all be about.

Palpatine’s focus remained solely on Luke though. “Did you not think I would discover that you have been making moves to undermine Grand Moff Tarkin?”

There it was. He had two choices: grovel and beg for forgiveness or stand firmly by his decision, protocol be damned. Not that anyone in his position would have been fool enough to choose the former. Luke squared his shoulders and tilted his chin a little higher. “Tarkin’s own hubris was delaying your weapon, my emperor.” Palpatine motioned for him to continue as he studied him intently. Any word could land him in an early grave and everyone in the room knew it. “He wants the credit for a project that he doesn’t have the technical knowledge to scrape the surface of what’s been created. Krennec knows that, and knows that once the project is done that Tarkin would toss him away for the glory.”

“But not you?”

Luke shrugged as nonchalantly as he could manage. “I convinced him that I see his worth. He’ll complete the weapon with confidence that he’ll receive assignments following its completion.”

“And if he does not?”

“The decision is ultimately yours, my emperor. My intention was simply to move a project that Tarkin had stalled forward.”

Palpatine flashed a smile of rotten teeth and nodded. “Good. Very good,” he offered. “Come closer, Natus. Lord Vader.”

The two men moved closer and Luke caught Mara’s gaze very briefly. She didn’t seem to have anymore insight than he did.

One thin, bony hand reached out and a Red Guard approached, setting a device down for all to see. As the robed figure moved away, Palpatine’s fingers twitched and the device whirled, an image leaping up from it to show the bridge of the Death Star. Tarkin stood waiting, Krennec sulking behind him, but it was the scientist that the Emperor spoke to. “Director Krennec, Lord Natus speaks very highly of the weapon you have built for me. Are you prepared to prove its worth?”

A startled expression was shared by both the Moff and Science Director, but the latter stepped forward, bending in reverence as he spoke. “At your command, my Emperor,” he answered, his voice trembling ever so slightly.

“You may fire when ready.”

I like to think that the WAA is super haunted because the ghost lawyers got bored and want smth to do

#phoenix wright #mia fey #diego armando #apollo justice #godot #ace attorney #Phoenix makes the house very ghost friendly. There’s a whiteboard and bells and a bunch of stuff they can use to communicate #Mia is actually helpful with cases and uses the bells and whiteboard to help Phoenix when he’s stuck or missing smth #Diego just waits until Phoenix makes a dumb conclusion and dumps coffee on his head or flickers the lights bc he’s an asshole #mod vex #comic #vex art

I just love the idea that Cas and Dean actually manage to be sneaky in the beginning of their relationship, keeping it secret not because they don’t trust Sam or are ashamed but because they need to feel solid in it themselves before they tell anyone. So they’ve actually done a spectacular job of keeping quiet and not getting caught.

And then one day Cas and Dean are sitting at the table in the bunker kitchen, half asleep while Cas sips coffee and Dean munches halfheartedly on soggy cereal, when Sam comes back from his morning run.

“There you guys are!” He says as he pulls his headphones out of his ears. “I’ve been waiting for you to get up!”

“Why?” Dean asks, dropping his spoon into his bowl and splashing a little milk over the side. “You find us a case?”

Sam shakes his head as he heads to the fridge for a bottle of water. “I think there’s something wrong with the bunker.”

“What kind of something?” Dean asks, casting a curious glance around.

The bunker had seemed fine to him. Nothing strange had happened. No weird noises, no strange smells, nothing creepy or daunting that was outside of the ordinary as far as living completely underground went.

“Well, the lights have been acting weird.” Sam begins, thinking. “And the electricity will just randomly short out. It’s like all the fuses blow at once, or something, even when nothing has changed.”

Dean, still half asleep and only a few sips into his own coffee, doesn’t immediately make the connection. But Cas seems to go incredibly still across the table from him.

“Huh.” Dean says, pushing his bowl away and reaching for his mug. “I haven’t seen any of that. When is this happening?”

Dean still hasn’t pieced it together, but Cas is sending him a solid, desperate stare over the rim of his own mug. Dean’s mind is trying to kick on, to figure it out, and then Sam says—

“Well, most recently was last night. You were already in bed. And Cas— I don’t know where you were.”

And oh. Oh. Dean understands now.

Because yeah, he had been in bed last night. It just so happens that Cas had been in his bed, too. And they were— busy, but sleeping isn’t exactly what they were doing.

Dean purposely does not meet Cas’s gaze.

“Weird.” Dean says with a shrug that he hopes is nonchalant.

“Yeah,” Cas finally manages to agree, his fingers tight around his mug. “That is strange, I haven’t noticed it, either. We’ll have to keep an eye out for it and address it if it’s an electrical issue.”

Sam, beautiful, sweet Sam, doesn’t seem to notice anything amiss. He shrugs. “Yeah, just let me know if you notice it. Maybe it’s just a weird fluke.”

And it will be awhile yet before Sam understands why this only happens when he’s alone in the bunker at night, why it never happens when Dean and Cas stay up with him to the early hours of the morning to research. Sam will live confused but peacefully oblivious for as long as they can all get away with.

#I just love Sam being like #guys all the lights are flickering again #and deans like wow Sammy that’s so strange I couldn’t possibly know anything about that #I also love when Sam finally catches on #and has this horrible dawning realization #and cas as least looks sheepish when Sam figures it out #but Dean makes some comment about how his ass is just *that good*#and then Sam desperately wishes for obliviousness again #destiel #sam winchester #spn #supernatural

"Win secret life."

There also gonna be a bigger piece next week from me that I already sketched - a cover for the mock game you could say.

DP x DC: Puppy Love

Waiting for my friend in the emergency room(they’re fine, we’ll not fine obviously but not actively dying) so might as well write on my phone

So if there are two things I’m adamant about it’s that Alfred should still be alive and that DC SHOULD GIVE JASON BACK HIS DOG

For those poor souls that do not know, Jason had a dog name, and this is 100% true, Dog. Jason is canonically bad at naming things so he named his dog Dog. And the storyline between him and her is actually really touching. He rescued her from a dog fighting ring where she was used to bait dogs. Jason earned her trust showed her kindness and she loves him for it and it makes me emotional. GIVE JASON BACK HIS DOG YOU MONSTERS

She’s not dead just got written out by giving her to someone, but still, that man loves and pampers Dog, gave her an engraved nameplate and everything

But consider Cujo, the ghost of a dog being trained to be a guard dog, put to death long before his time wanting the thing that made him happy in life: his toy. Danny finds him, bonds with him and helps him get back the thing he loves most, and Cujo loves Danny for it.

A story as old as time, a boy and his dog, or in Danny’s case a boy and his ghost dog.

So imagine this: Danny moved to Gotham with Cujo and things are going great, except for one thing.

Cujo has a little crush

Now normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but Cujo is a ghost. Aka he can walk through walls. So when Cujo wants to visit his lady friend, he just bolts right through the wall, and leads Danny on a merry chase.

Meanwhile Jason is confused to come home to his penthouse only to find Dog cuddled up with a smaller green dog that isn’t Beast Boy. The other dog is friendly and gets along with Dog, but it’s driving him crazy wondering how he got in without tripping an alarm. Then there’s a knock on the door

Jason opens the door to find an out of breath guy about his age with black hair, blue eyes and windswept hair that might have been intentional if it hadn’t been for a few leaves stuck in it.

And that’s how Jason met Danny

Cut to this happening a few more times and then turns into organizing little “dates” for their dogs and the while falling slowly in love with each other romcom style

That’s right, this has been a romcom about two dog owners falling in love because their dogs are literally obsessed with each other

Bonus: Danny giving Cujo “the Talk”

Danny, wagging his finger: Don’t make a rosemary’s baby, understand?

Cujo: Bark

Danny: ... good.

#danny phantom #dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #writing prompt #dpxdc #Jason’s Dog #Dog named Dog #dead on main #I just want a cute Danny and Jason plot about them falling in love while organizing doggy play dates #which turn into unintentional double dates #don’t you tell me Jason wouldn’t set up a lady and the tramp moment for them #serving Dog and Cujo a plate of dog safe spaghetti and meatballs #meanwhile Danny who can’t cook out on a fake mustache and is playing music for them #and Jason just looking up from the two dogs eating by candlelight and seeing how the light flickers across Danny’s face #and realizing he wants to kiss this ridiculous man

sometimes you just gotta draw the king

DP X DC ghost king danny

What if Danny’s King Regalia always shows up in the dark? Danny can keep it invisible/unequip it, but it’s permanent in dark settings. Yet, it always shows back up in dark rooms etc.

except he has a really hard time figuring out if it is dark out or not because his vision is tinted green 100% of the time, and he has night vision anyway, so whenever the lights flickered in a room, and his crown was visible for a few seconds, and whatever hero he is with thinks they were seeing things, he just never notices

so danny’s a daylight hero, and avoids dark rooms with the JL because he thinks being a king isn’t a big deal. There are demigods and champions of magic, so what difference is a king? Or maybe he assumes they already knew or smthn, and he didn’t like the weird looks people used to give him when he left the crown visible, and the JL never seemed to care that he was (technically) ruler of infinite realms, only that he could save people, and stop world-ending threats

and, of course, they don’t actually know; cue misunderstandings.

art taglist: @i-amtransexual @badatgmrt

#randomartmaker art #danny phantom #sketch #digital art #dp danny #ghost king danny #ghost king au #dp x dc #crossover fanart i just think it’d be funny if the lights shut out and danny’s king regalia flickers into existence #a glowstick danny doesn’t realise #and the league’s just like. what- what the fuck is that crown-#JL: phantom’s a king???#JL: what teenage kings of history are there?#danny doesn’t realise the lights are out bc he has night ision /hj #i drew this in 30 minutes give or take a few

It was possible that Luke was simply on a mission for the Empire, though something deep inside of her whispered that wasn’t true. The fact that there’d been some kind of accident at a classified dig site on Jedha in the time he’d been there was either a very strange coincidence or he had helped the Rebel princess destroy an Imperial mining facility. As little as she believed in coincidences, she might have tried that day just as she knew she’d been trying for years now. All those moments - the early morning questions about leaving to all of the times he’d spoken as if his father and she were his only true allies within the Empire they all supposedly served - and the actions surrounding them. Padme Amidala’s sister and the Rebel pilot he’d asked Mara to release for saving his life. Even the more recent incident of the intelligence they’d been after and that had been lost along with what should have been two high-level prisoners.

There were too many coincidences, and if she’d been tracking down these threads of information linked to anyone else, it wouldn’t have taken her nearly this long to come to the truth. Luke had betrayed the Empire.

And Palpatine would kill him for this.

If he knew. Only if he knew.

By the time Mara’s boots met the permasteel where she’d landed on Coruscant, a plan had formed. Those same boots carried her into the palace, through winding halls, and to the large doors the Red Guard opened for her. She steeled herself and her resolve, refusing to think of those three dangerous and unspoken - at least on her side - words that might be the death of her if this went wrong.

Mara felt the beckoning even before she heard her master’s voice. “Come, child. What news of Leia Organa do you bring?”

I love you, Luke had said. I’ll protect you.

It wouldn’t be enough to simply look the other way this time, not if she wanted him to live. And Mara couldn’t - wouldn’t - imagine a galaxy without him. She could protect him.
