WIP Snippet
Here's a small snippet from the WIP I literally just started lmao ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buck hadn’t planned to get a cat. He hadn’t even planned to stop by the shelter on the way home, really, but he’d had a difficult shift and there was just something about the comfort he found in small, furry bodies that made him change his route home. He definitely hadn’t planned on falling so head over heels in love with their newest addition.
“Anyone new in?” he’d asked Macey, one of the shelter volunteers, as he’d pushed open the door.
“Actually, yes! There’s a new 2 year old male out back, want to see him?”
Of course Buck had wanted to see him; he made a point to get to know any new animals that came by. It’s not that he was actively looking for a pet, it was more that he knew how these little guys felt. How it felt to be abandoned by family, by those who were supposed to love and care for you.
Buck had followed Macey out back, asking her lots of questions about the new member. Macey told him that the cat had been surrendered to them the previous week after his owners adopted a kitten and he didn’t get along well with it. Buck’s heart broke for the small creature.
He hadn’t meant to get attached, but the second he saw the small creature curled up in the corner of the crate, he knew he was in trouble. The cat was a tuxedo, his body mostly black except for his chest, belly and paws, and, adorably, around his nose. His eyes were wide and vibrant green, with a small fleck of brown in the corner of his right eye. His ears were perked up, keenly taking in all the noises around him and when Buck had come towards him, he sprung up and pattered towards the bars. Buck had noticed as he crouched down by the crate, that the cat’s tail was oddly small.
“What happened to him?” he’d asked, glancing up at Macey as he stretched out his hand, poking his fingers through the bars of the crate.
“He was surrendered by his family; they’d gotten a new kitten, and he didn’t get along with her so they gave him up”.
Buck had sent the cat a sympathetic look and scratched his chin, heart swelling as the cat rubbed himself happily against his fingers.
“And what about his tail?”
Macey had shrugged. “The previous owners didn’t know either, they got him like that. It looks like it might have been surgically removed, there’s a little scar at the tip.”
Buck sighed, wishing the bars of the cage weren’t between him and the little guy. He seemed so starved for touch, smooshing his head into Buck’s fingers while purring extremely loudly. The cat’s tongue had rasped against his hand as he licked madly, and Buck had felt his resolve crumbling around him.
“What’s his name?” he’d asked.
And when Macey had told him, he’d known right there and then that he was going to be taking that cat home with him.

Some fic because I love your au, Fenton is gender brainrot, and little baby dan cracks me up. Full disclosure, my only familiarity with DC is DP crossover fanfic, and a Batman movie I fell asleep during. (If I had a better grasp on the characters I would totally write more :(( i love interactions) also sorry for the weird spacing. Idk why tumblr did that
~~~~~~~~
There was an empty cardboard box on the table of the Justice League’s main conference room. Taped on the top flap, next to a doodle of Fenton’s logo, was a jump drive.
Heaving a sigh, Batman plugged it in and pulled up his screen on the projector. The drive, which was named “little baby dan’s evil playtime”, contained two files; WATCH_ME_FIRST.mp4 and its-a-secreeeet.pdf. He clicked on the video file, and immediately the projector filled with a blurry close-up of Fenton’s goggles.
After a moment of fiddling with the camera, Fenton stepped back, giving a cheery wave. His lab coat and goggles were a pastel pink, which was new. “Heeeeya, Bats! Whoever else is there! If you’re watching this, you probably weren’t there when I dropped the box off, aaand it’s probably empty.”
He clapped his hands together gleefully. “And Connie, if you’re there, this is payback for cussing around my daughter.” Batman was instantly relieved that Constantine wasn’t on base. Hopefully the situation wouldn’t require Constantine’s expertise. (Or any of the Justice League Dark. Fenton seemed determined to drive them all to an early grave with his casual refusal to acknowledge the supernatural air around him.)
“Now, as you’re all heroes, I’m sure you’re all familiar with the whole,” Fenton paused for a moment, as if searching for the proper words. “”You ate a burger on a Tuesday or something equally inane, and it kickstarted a series of events that led to you going insane and evil and murdering 95% of the Earth’s population and now you must fight your evil alternate self, because your time-controlling cryptid Peepaw said so,” shtick, so I’ll skip the backstory. Say hi to Dan!” Fenton grabbed the camera, and Batman quickly jotted down several notes about the concerning number of things the boy had just said.
The camera swiveled around to show Nightingale, holding a strange beast in a manner that reminded Batman of an “elongated cat meme” Nightwing had shown him when he was still a Robin. The creature bared a maw full of razor sharp fangs at the camera. Nightingale adjusted her grip to hold the creature’s paw and make it wave, which evoked a deep growl.
“Haha, he’d kill me if I did that. Dan likes Nightingale much more than he likes me.”
“Because the worst she has ever done is attempt to shoot me.”
The camera had moved, so Batman couldn’t visually confirm that the deep voice had come from the creature, but the voice didn’t match any of Fenton’s previously revealed companions. “Yeah yeah, her aim sucked back then.” Fenton gave the camera a toothy grin that was only slightly less unnerving than the creature’s. “Dan’s not technically me, he’s much more like Dani, actually, but the world would probably end again if we left him with his other... What did you call him?” Fenton glanced offscreen.
“Bane of my accursed existence.”
Fenton chucked. “The other half responsible for his existence.” Batman added more notes to his file. “So, yeah, Clocky left him with us for a bit to help along his rehab. But a certain psychologist-in-training I know says that repressing rage isn’t healthy, and even without a lot of his powers, he can wipe out most of a city in- what, an hour? We tested it. It was around an hour.”
Everyone present shared a look of deep concern. As if able to see their reaction, Fenton quickly held up his hands in surrender. “Don’t worry! Clocky reset it. Approximately zero people have died from Dan in this timeline.”
“Yet.” Came a furious rumble from off-screen.
“Yes, you’re very scary.” They heard Nightingale coo.
Fenton laughed. “Yeah, we need him- and all of you, -out of our hair for a bit while we concoct more evil plans, and you’re all the least likely to die to him, so you get to babysit! Thanks!”
He reached to shut off the camera before pausing and turning away. “Foley! Which of the furries is the one who really likes animals?”
“Man, do you realize how that sounds out of context?” Foley laughed. “I think Tim said it’s the little one. Damian?”
Fenton nodded and turned back to the camera. “Don’t let Damian try to adopt Dan. Or anyone. Dan will bite their hands off. I mean it!” To emphasize his point, he removed one of his hands.
Batman sighed and added “ability to remove limbs” to a list of Fenton’s powers.
“I’ll include a list of “tasks”” Fenton’s disembodied hand made finger quotes, “we gave Dan to keep him occupied. There’s some at the bottom for you guys. They’re mostly just blatant abuse of his powers for the sake of fun and science. I’d appreciate it if you’d let him mark things off the list and add notes on how it goes. Or you can do it. Or I can steal your cameras. Your choice.”
He thought for a second. “I think you’re supposed to leave, like, pizza money or something, but I don’t think you can get pizza delivered to space. Anyway, thanks for letting me blab your ears off while Dan’s probably committing war crimes for twelve minutes. For your sake, I hope he inherited my interest in space. Good luck! Thanks for babysitting!”
Waving with his still detached hand, Fenton ended the video. Batman closed it and opened the PDF as the few other members present murmured amongst themselves. Most of the pages were filled with a curling script Batman didn’t recognize. The fourth page had a huge, bolded header, reading JP TASKS.
The door opened and shut in half a second as the Flash burst in. “Superman!” The speedster wailed. “I can’t get this thing off of me!”
The Flash waved his arm around, sending small droplets of blood flying as he tried to dislodge the creature sinking his teeth into the speedster’s arm. Batman raised an eyebrow beneath his cowl as Superman quickly lent his super strength in attempt to pry the creature’s jaw open. Dan didn’t budge.
Well, he could certainly see the family resemblance been Fenton, Dani, and Dan. Shaking his head, he turned back to the list.
Task 1: Find Dan. He’s probably attacking someone.
He highlighted the text and crossed it out. This was going to be a long shift.
[Anon, this is me crying over the wonderful gift you have given me. You bastard.]
---
"Do you think Fenton's regeneration powers extend to his..." Green Lantern frowned, trying to remember the word the kid had used but coming up blank. "I dunno. But do you think if we cut off little Dan here, he'll heal back up with no problem?" He gestured helplessly to the scene in front of him. Flash was still screeching about the beast on his arm, and now Superman and Wonder Woman were trying to pry him off. Batman was standing to the side, silently bemoaning the lack of quiet. He just wanted one peaceful shift. Just one. Please.
"I'd like to see you try, hero. And I'm not little." Dan spoke, startling all of them. His grip on Flash's arm tightened, making the speedster squeal before releasing the man and spitting out a mouthful of his blood. Batman noticed that his mouth didn't move despite the clearly spoken words. In fact, when Dan closed his mouth, it was like he didn't have one at all.
"So you do speak!" Superman marveled.
"Of course I do. I am not unintelligent, unlike you lot."
Despite his pain, Flash still made sounds of protest that everyone promptly ignored.
Superman flushed. "I just wasn't sure. It was hard to tell in the video."
"Ah, yes. The video that the Fenton menace sent you. Was there a note for me in the flash drive?"
"Uh, no." In one of his less finer moments, Green Lantern stuttered over his words and moved in front of Batman, obviously lying. Dan merely growled and flew through both men, heading straight for the giant monitor. Batman barely suppressed a shiver. Density shifting? Might as well add it to the list. He could see Martian Manhunter, who was in the back of the room, tilt his head at the display.
Dan ignored the room as he used his entire body to manipulate the computer mouse and scrolled back up to the top of the page. Staring intently at the scribbles no one could make out, the heroes could do nothing but shoot each other nervous and confused glances. More than a few of them jumped when Dan chuckled deeply. Honestly, his tiny body was at complete odds with his baritone voice.
"Maybe rehab will be fun if he's letting me do this." Dan sneered, flashing their reflections a sharp fang. No one wanted to ask what exactly he was in rehab for. The little beast turned his gaze to Batman. "You are the one called Batman, who rules the cursed city, correct?" The dark hero nodded, not trusting himself to say anything. "Excellent. You will be my chaperone for now, just as Fenton decreed it. Good luck, mortal man. Pray, I do not destroy your home a second time."
Without any time to unpack that conversation, Dan promptly disappeared from view. Some blinking text caught his attention, and Batman scrolled back down to the English text, glancing at the next few items on the list.
Task 2: Do not let Dan read his portion of this letter until you have a way to track him. There is no containing him.
Task 3: Keep him with a chaperone at all times. (If you can)
Task 4: Do not let Dan back into Gotham unless you're fine with a sudden decrease in the clown population.
Task 5: Take him for a walk in Death Valley. He likes hunting lizards.
Task 6: Make sure he goes down for his 2pm nap every day.
Task 7: He'll ask for it, but do not give him any burgers for mealtime. It upsets his stomach.
Task 8: Dan gets ONE(1) sweet after dinner before brushing his teeth. Those green pop rocks Batman always carries will do fine; he likes those. :)
A sudden alarm blared from his wristwatch, making Batman tear his eyes away from the screen, indicating an emergency at Arkham. This time, Batman actually sighed out loud. There was more to the list, but right now, he really needed to find their new charge before he killed the Joker, from the sound of it.

How about Dawnpelt as a unicorn?

One of the most famous pictures from the Great Battle, Dawn Treader defending Shady Swamp from the Umbrum Horde. Dawn is wearing armor she forged herself, and was instrumental to the defense of the Riverside school and hospital when the Horde converged in the last hours of the fight.

I'm one of the few (probably the only one, actually?) Buck stans that really, really does not want Buck to be fire captain in the end. Chim & Hen co-captains, though, that I'm here for.

I was going to pack two books. I decided on a whim that I was also going to bring a third. I found out that Murakami's Novelist as a Vocation is finally in paperback, so now I have that as well.
I am always, if nothing else, painfully on brand.

Today I worked on:
Buried: 527 words -- forced myself to finish the chapter.
Ghost on the Couch: 227 words -- I need to push myself to finish this too because I'm literally on the last chapter and I'm SO CLOSE.
Uploaded a new Tumblr exclusive fic.
I very suddenly have to move so I've been busy packing and also my cats just keep getting sick with this weird virus that just keeps coming back and ugh. But I really really do want to get back to writing regularly someday.

i got a new song out! you can give it a listen here :)
it's also over on spotify and bandcamp plus some other streaming sites and youtube (you will find my other songs on all those sites as well)
i find this to be a pretty simple track, but experimental to me, as i worked very intuitively, just doing what feels right and what sorta resonates with me (im not a pro after all, i usually have no idea what i'm doing, i just know that i like doing it and the way it sounds lol which is really the most important thing to me)
i put a few more of my songs under the cut if anyone's interested in checking them out, they're all kinda different but in a similar indie electronic/experimental/synthwave-ish vein. i appreciate anyone giving my stuff a listen <3 and if this isn't your thing (or you just like cat pics), here's a picture of two cats i met last week for your trouble
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is one of my first ones! i was definitely still trying out instruments and tools but i like how it turned out, and the melody often stays in my head
i wanted to try and go in a more electronic/techno direction here but still staying simple and melodic
i really like synthwave and i think this is the closest i've gotten to that so far. i loved working on this one, lots of fun
and one from my last EP, a more chill vibe, and i've been told it sounds like the music to an indie video game, which is kinda what i was going for so thats great

I don’t care about Buck and Eddie dating random women. I just want to see Buck finally go through his (permanent) cat lady era
