Shell Shocked au boys!!

DP x DC: The Most Dangerous Card Game

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter. 

Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.

The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge. 

And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).

And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game. 

Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.

(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).

After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely). 

Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.

the times that akashi can go around and absolutely obliterate club presidents and adults at table top games, are some of his happiest moments i swear

hes found a way where he can allow himself to be extra sadistic without being terrible for it

its like a little treat for him <3

Saw paramore live for the first time ever a few nights ago and I had the time of my LIFEEEEE

sketches for a premise called what if dream smiled more and was happier and enjoyed living and loved life and —

Ignoring the creator drama and all other outside things, my personal biggest problem with vivziepop shows are they do nothing to actually earn their emotional moments

They have these supposed grand reveals or emotional gut wrenching moments for these characters, but in rushing your audience doesn’t actually get to know them.

I get it, what creator doesn’t want to show off their big moments without having to explain every last thing and have their audience react accordingly. But guess what, you still have to do the work because no audience is magically going to understand these characters as deep as you the creator do.

Instead whats left is a shallowness to the actual creation. Sure, the color changing lights in your pool look fantastic, but pretty soon the people in it are going to catch on to the fact they’re in ankle deep water.

Oh well, that’s my two cents on it. I could probably elaborate further or talk on other aspects, but hey I wanted to keep my thoughts brief for once.

I don't know why I never posted this, but I painted a backdrop for my coffin bean a while ago:

Here it is without anything in front so you can get a better look.

It's cloudy as hell where I am right now so I'm not getting decent lighting for a while. Oh well.

I mainly went through the trouble because that section of my shelf was looking far too bright, didn't suit mh at all. I was convinced I'd be done in a day... Silly me. Turns out painting big ol' pieces of cardboard is a bit more time consuming! Who could have thought -_-

That aside, I was going for a sort of theatre backdrop look. I did consider making some of the trees separate pieces, but as you can see I don't have much space, I couldn't even squeeze in that couch and the little green table.

Damn your Mario's attractive. Idk how else to say this, but he feels like a grown man rather than a mascot. There's just something about him that perfectly captures that vibe. After seeing so many versions where he looks like a plushie, I gotta say yours is very refreshing to look at and it's got me crushing hard lol.

I appreciate the sentiment Anon, thank you! 🫶 Sometimes I worry that my take strays a bit much from his canon self (which, as we know, is very childlike and bubbly), but it's always quite reassuring for me to see that people enjoy the way I portray him. 🤗

Being reminded that Mario is an actual man and not just a gaming icon was the very thing that kickstarted my hyperfixation, actually! That was the realization that singlehandedly brought to life the emotional depth and inner richness I later developed for him, and I couldn't imagine him any differently in my art now. 🥺 As for his sturdiness and added muscle mass, I have talked at length about his strength and my personal headcanons surrounding his physical capabilities before, but- I have to admit that it's also a guilty pleasure of mine. xD 🤭
