Hello, first I would like to greatly apologize for any spam of likes I have sent your way because my brain decided to obsess randomly with Dp x Dc crossovers for the past few days. I'm not even into Dc comics, and I only watch Danny Phantom when I randomly it exists and the fandom pulls me back into its clutches until I'm able to finally escape only to be pulled back in a few months later. I write this to you at 1:30 am with a bag of shittily made popcorn with my cat accompanying me because my mind has decided to fall in love with Danny being taken care of by the Bat family and it's mostly you're fault. I hope you're happy. I want to kiss you so bad you have no idea. I've come up with so many scenarios and have the balls to share them with you cause I really like the way you write and since I'm not a writer I have no idea what I'm doing but here I go:

Danny and Dani are basically travelling the world, Danny would call it running from the cops but that doesn't have as nice a ring to it. (Situation can be up to you, bad reaction from parents, was framed, anything for Danny and Dani on the run with Danny having protective older brother vibes)

They end up in Gotham for a few nights to rest easily and its snowing cause I said so and theyre starving at this point. Danny's like "We need to hide and need shelter" and Dani's like "Dude look over there at that creepy mansion :D" And they have no idea that its not only very much inhabited, but a bunch of rich people live there (And the Bat family but who cares about that part)

Danny is obviously on the fence cause 1. He doesn't have a good history with rich people so why their houses and 2. They dont know whats in there what if a bunch of weirdos are staying there but they decide they're cold and need a place to rest so they fly in and luckily land in the kitchen.

The lights are off and they're to focused on finding food to notice two figures standing in the middle of the kitchen just watching them.

Dani pulls out a box of the shittiest cereal you can think that shouldn't be counted as cereal all happy "Danny, they have my favorite cereal!" And poor Danny's horrified, "Have you even ever had cereal before?"

They start rambling and then someone turns on the light its Alfred he was in the middle of boiling midnight tea for him and Tim.

And there's just 2 GLOWING awkward teens FLOATING, one's holding Bruce's 'cereal' clearly not assesing the situation and the other has a horrified expression on their face, and looks like on the verge of passing out.

Tim is way to sleep deprived thinking they're hallucinations and sits down, also on the verge of passing out, while Alfred just keeps boiling his tea.

Danny is sweating trying to figure out how hes gonna get them out if this situation and Danis just, munching on dry crappy cereal.

Albert like the God he is just fucking opens the fridge, looks Dani in the eye and asks "Would you like some milk with that, my lady?" And thats all I got out of me FOR THAT SCENARIO.

The other is I fucking forgot I took 30 mins to write all this I forgot what else I had Im so sleep deprived OH FUCK I REMEMBER IT WAS ABOUT DRUGS

Ok so tw for drugs (weed):

Ok so Danny's a teen he's stupid right, knowing him in the show he'd be the kid to decline drugs but then take a hit when his crush says "i KnEw YoU wEreNt coOl" yknow? Delicious social pressure.

Well he's like pretty much adopted by the Wayne's at this point so he's just chilling on the couch about to light a joint and Jason being the noble man he is snatches it out of Danny's hand like "Nono, bad small child dont do drugs" half joking and smokes it instead.

Danny's now panicking, silently following Jason to make sure he's alright and not dead or reacting badly to it.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be fine?" And the high kicks in.

The thing is is that it was ghost weed. And Jason for once feels completely calm, he doesn't feel a single bit of the pit its silent.

He's crying and Danny's like "Omg are you ok???" Thinking he poisoned his family/lover/whatever the fuck they are.

And Jason's just "This is some real good shit" silently sobbing, not even thinking about where Danny got it or why its doing this he's just happy.

And you can turn this into extreme angst by making him codependent or a comedy by him making high jokes

Ok thats it again I'm so sorry I just really had to tell someone this

Homie you, me, behind the Bat Burger; We shall marry at dawn. Man, it makes me so happy that you enjoy the stuff I write that much I’m really proud that I could bring you that much joy! Be sure to give your kitty some pets for me :).

Oh also, “not a writer”?! You spin a web of lies. This is incredible!! Sure it’s rambly, but that’s because you’re writing in a way that’s unsure of yourself. (It’s also very much so how I write so I feel you homie.) I still feel like my writing is equivalent to a middle schooler's but I do my best to shake that off. I don’t write fics because I’m bad at dialogue, I’m workin on it though! You simply just have to try and believe in yourself. You’ll reread it later and go, “Damn, did I just write that?!” And feel proud of what you accomplished. You absolutely have unique and brilliant ideas so take a shot at writing some stuff! I’m sure you’ll do great! :D

Also bro your: "what was I talking about? oH YEAH DRUGS!" was so unexpected. it made me laugh so hard so thank you for that :)

———

Danny and Dani are fucking floored that this stoic-ass old British man just rolled with seeing the two. Dani's eyes light up as she accepts the milk from the British guy. Snatching the fancy glass milk container, she haphazardly pours the milk into her bowl causing bits of cereal to ricochet the milk out of the bowl and flying absolutely everywhere.

Tim just stands still and stares at the two very much so Not Human entities that are currently in his house. The tired vigilante rummages around in his pocket for his phone and takes a quick photo of the scene in front of him.

Tim double takes glancing between the kitchen and his phone. At first he assumed they were hallucinations because no figures were present in the photograph… the floating bowl of cereal and spoon says otherwise.

#danny phantom #dp x dc #dpxdc #dc comics #writing prompts #bones replies #anon #genuinely dude your writing is fascinating! sorry it took me so long to get to your ask because this is INCREDIBLE

Hey you tagged that post abt John liking fizzy drinks? This is your excuse to talk as much about that as you want

... you have unleashed something in me

now typically you'd say "but red! harlan says john doesnt like eating!"

and to you I say:

a) respectfully, harlan mightve made these guys but the moment I started the podcast they became my little guys. john likes fizzy drinks

b) i think john doesnt enjoy eating simply because he cannot taste food.

and when he tries fizzy drinks for the first time, with his own body, oh boy it makes him feel more alive than yknow doin human stuff with arthur

picture this:

john has a body that looks mostly human. he's finally dragging arthur to see snow white and the seven dwarves. but oh? what's this arthur? food? in a movie theater? but won't the chewing noises be too loud? what did you say, it's part of ✨️experience✨️, oh well than we have to get some!

sadly for john, arthur does not warn him that sodas are very carbonated, as I call them are functionally spicy juice, and john curses out a little bit too much when he drinks and they don't get to watch snow white bcs they get kicked out :(

so he develops an intense distaste for fizzy drinks until one night arthur drags him to the bar because john! you forced me to watch a movie, which insensitive by the way, and then got us publicly kicked out really its the least you could do

and so he goes, because no one has ever said no to arthur, and there arthur makes him try yet another human abomination: alcohol. except this is 10000x times worse than the sodas, it has no twang! it's just bitter water that could possibly burn your throat and ruin your liver!

arthur, having grown up during the prohibition, took a fancy to it simply for the novelty but john wouldn't stand for such unpleasant human creations, he used to be the fragment of a powerful god after all

and so he orders a coke, which yknow yeah maybe sucked at the movies, but it was less sad then ordering water. but oh! wait this, this is actually not all that bad, if you know what to expect, it's sweet but not sickeningly so, and leaves a quietly pleasant feeling in your stomach and arthur what other drinks like this are there?

so yes maybe, arthur and john end up ordering almost every fizzy drink at the bar, cotton club, dr peppers, pepsi (after this john started the pepsi vs coke debate die mad about it) you name it they drank it.

and if they also got a little bit drunk and looked just a little bit insane ordering all those drinks to the bar-goers, well that was how things always ended with them anyways

next time! why john is an avid guitar player and arthur is probably a dog person with a cat personality!

What about something that traumatized black?

Foe context, I have a personal hc that black has a fear of the freezing cold and is claustrophobic.

You're about to find out why :)

"Why do I have to go?!" Black asked in his usual snarky voice, this time brimming with annoyance.

White himself was starting to get annoyed.

"Because you two need to figure out how to work together!" Black quirked a brow.

"You two get on fine on your own, red just can't handle perfection when he sees it!" Black scoffed.

"Enough! You two are going on this mission." White had reached his wits end.

"You...ooohhh!" Black growled.

"You're usually the one fretting over us, where'd this sudden change of heart come from?!" Black said aggressively.

"That's the thing..." White reached into his drawer and pulled something out.

"I won't be far away." He held out what seemed like small metal square.

"Me and blue have been working on these beauty's for a while now. They're magnetic, and they let me speak to you directly. They also give me a view of what you're seeing and your status." Black took one and inspected it

"Hmm, so like a radio with extra steps..." White frowned

"Yes black, just like that." His voice oozed sarcasm.

"I don't wanna go, the snow is bad for my features!" Black pressed

"That's a shame, you're going or I'm taking your makeup kit." White lowballed black hard.

He pulled back with an exasperated gasp.

"You wouldn't!" He said

"Try me." White glared.

"Baaah! I'll go get red." Black said defeated

Black got red and the two were briefed by white about the situation on planet winterbloom.

"I got some reports of unusual seismic activity, personally I think it's a few avalanches but there's always the possibility of a threat there...the local settlers also reported strange noises during hunting expeditions. They want us to check it out."

"I'm cool with that...as long as he can keep up" Red jerked his head towards black, who chuckled.

"Keeping up with you would slow us both down, hothead." For all intents and purposes, black was notoriously hard to outwit.

"Oh yeah! Well-"

"Stop!" White bellowed

"This is exactly why I chose the two of you specifically. Anyone else could handle this but you two are like oil and water, you just can't seem to cooperate!"

The two went silent, but white had a feeling it wouldn't stay that way for long.

He sighed

"As I've told black, these things are magnetic and will stick to the side of your head...but we also made them resistant to extreme conditions. Yknow, heat, freezing temperatures even water resistant...this'll be a nice little field test." The two still said nothing.

"Alright, time to head to the ship you two!" White suddenly said, feigning enthusiasm.

"You betcha big bro!" Red jumped up

"Yeah, whatever." Black said, going after them.

The two boarded the ship and red went to the pilots seat.

"Not so fast, hothead. I'm flying." Black said

"No way! I've been wanting to fly for years, I'm flying!" Red pushed back.

Black sighed, and got to work.

"I hate you." Red growled as the two had already reached space.

"Well that's what happens when you sass perfection." Black chuckled as he remembered how he "big brother'd" Red off the pilots seat.

"You two should be coming up to planet winterbloom in the next 3 minutes. There should be some jackets in the back." Red went and got them.

He decided to get some revenge for getting wrestled out of the pilots seat by throwing the jacket right in blacks face.

Black tore the jacket off him and stood up with intent.

"Black, don't you dare." White warned

"Did you not see what he-"

"Black, it's just a jacket...and remember..." black shot red a look that told him he'd get him later on.

The two threw their jackets on and the shuttle bay door opened to send a wave of wind and snow their way, disorienting them for a second.

The two followed the radar that led them to the settlers' camp.

They briefed them on where these strage occurrences were happening and the two investigated.

Eventually the two came to a crossroads of sorts.

"They never mentioned this..." Red said

"Hmmm...I'm not getting any reading on which way is the right way." White said through the radio.

"I say we go right...cuz I'm always right." Black said

"No way! Left takes us closest to where they said the noises were coming from." Red argued

"And how do you know that?" Black questioned arrogantly

"Look at the pathway!" He said

"All I see is the first 3 feet...what if it twists and turns?"

"What if it doesn't?"

"Guys!" White's voice was gonna go sore if he kept yelling like this.

"Will you two just pick a path already?!"

The brothers looked at eachother.

"Rock paper scissors?" Black offered

"You're on!" Red said

The two played it out while white facepalmed watching the screens.

"Haha! Knew I'd win!" Black celebrated

"Yeah whatever. Let's go" Red grumbled

The two continued up the pathway with no apperant results, until white popped up on the radio again.

"Heads up you two; there's a blizzard coming through...head back to the ship and we'll come back another time." He ordered.

The two made their trek back, before wandering over a frozen lake.

"Be careful you guys...don't know how thick the ice is." White cautioned.

But only black heeded the advice, slowing hid pace carefully.

"Hey, hotshot! Did you not hear him?!" He hissed

"We'll be fine, look the ice is nice and so-AH!" Almost as if prophetic, the ice broke and red fell through.

"Red!" Black cried out.

In an act that would have had anyone convinced white straight up possessed him, he dove in after.

The cold sent a shock through his systems and his limbs began to not respond.

He grabbed red, who hadn't sunk too deep in the seemingly endless abyss below.

Ignoring whites very vocal distress, he thrashed and flailed under the icy tide.

Just as he was about to give up and accept his fate, his hand met with something.

He pulled with all the might he could muster and found himself and his now unconscious younger sibling free of the waters' deadly grasp.

"Black, you need to get to the ship as soon as possible! You two won't last long in that temperature!" White screamed

Normally, black would've had a sarcastic quip but his voice failed him this time.

He grabbed his sibling and began his trek back to the best of his memory, but got lost in the snow due to losing the radar in the water.

He silently pushed through, trying his best to ignore the chills that now started to feel like burns.

Until he heard chirping nearby.

Even black could feel even whites non-existent blood run cold.

"Snowstalkers, they travel in packs and are very territorial...move slowly and quietly." White whispered.

Black followed directions quietly, and he turned to the sounds of the chirping. He was able to make out the predators, almost leering at him.

He backed up slowly, but stumbled over something and fell.

The sudden movement caused the stalkers to go in a frenzy, and began running after black.

"Run black! That's all you can do!" White was on the verge of having a meltdown as he barked the orders.

Black picked his unconscious sibling up and ran, before ducking down and tucking himself in after realizing he wouldn't get far.

He wanted to scream at the sensation of them tearing into his back, he placed his body over red's protectively.

They continued to gnaw at him, he was sure he wouldn't make it this time.

A massive roar was heard from behind them, the stalkers turned around and scurried off in fear.

Black turned around, deciding that whatever it was, if it scared the stalkers away then he didn't wanna see it himself.

He kept moving, the cold still biting at him and his new wounds. It didn't help that the jacket had been torn off, not like it'd do much good now.

"Black, talk to me! Are you okay?!" White practically begged

"Uuh..I unng...heeh?" Black couldn't seem to make any words out and was getting more and more confused by the second. The cold was really starting to get to him.

"Good enough! The ship is 350 feet ahead, and to your left, just make sure you... you..." White stopped

"Eh?" Black slurred out

"Black, get somewhere low! Now!" White said as the ground beneath him began shaking.

An avalanche was coming.

He began thrashing once again, when the snow carried him he lost hold of red and was panicking.

Black found a small ditch in the snow, but the tide still swallowed him and his sibling. It was a bad one.

He opened his eyes and quickly realized he was trapped in blanket of snow, slowly suffocating him.

He tried everything he could to move one of his limbs but they were trapped, he felt himself spiral downwards.

The claustrophobia didn't help.

He thrashed and screamed, trying anything he could to dig himself out, but it was as if he was frozen in ice.

He got an arm free and began to use it to free the rest of his limbs, he dug himself out and frantically searched for any signs of his other brother.

"He's 3 feet behind you and 8 feet down!" White sounded out of breath by this point.

Black turned around and waded his way forwards a bit and started digging down, the ice dug into his hands as much as the other way around.

He eventually caught sight of his leg, then revealed the rest of red's still-unconcious form.

He quickly grabbed him and made his way back up. Thankfully, the avalanche seemed to carry them closer to the ship, as it was only a short walk away.

A short, painful walk away.

He opened the shuttle bay door with gasping breaths and set red down.

He sat in the pilots chair, but what watched through black's sensors as he looked around aimlessly, confused as to what to do next.

Like black HADN'T done this a hundred times before.

"Black...are you still with me?" White asked, his frantic fear being replaced with growing concern.

"Uhh I uhh...uunn doo...huuh." black slurred out.

"Damn! If you hear me, I'm setting it to autopilot...black?" He saw black staring at red, he heard blacks breathing turn into whimpers as nothing he tried saying came out...

In other words, he was getting delirious.

Whimpers turned into full-on ugly crying that sounded just as "out of it" as he appeared.

"Black...are you-"

"Black listen to me, I can't turn on the heat from here..." White instructed through blacks crying.

"Ismybrothergonnadie?" The words slithered from his mouth as uncontrollably as his sobs.

Black had lost it. White needed to keep it together for both of them, but if they wanted to survive, it depended entirely on blacks' ability to follow simple orders in the state he was in.

"I need you to-"

"Idonwantmybrothertodie!" He blabbered

"Idonwanimtodielikebigsis!" Each rambling wad followed by 10 straight seconds of loud sobbing

White could feel himself starting to spiral too.

"Black you have to lis-listen to me, red WILL die if you don't reach over to that dial and turn it all the way to the red side."

Black sniffled

"Okay.." was the only word that came out that made sense.

White looked at the status screen.

Red's screen read

Unit went into emergency shutdown due to hypothermic shock, internal heating activated. External heating is required.

While Black's read

Internal temperature reaching critical levels, internal heating non-functional. External and internal damage to chasis and processor detected. Emergency heating and repairs required.

If anything, black was more at risk of dying than red was.

White was full-on pacing, waiting for the alert that the shuttle had reached its destination.

He had to mute the audio, hearing blacks belligerent ramblings was sending him under...he'd already been on the verge of melting down.

The alert went off, and he told blue, pink, and yellow to be ready in the maintenance room.

White ran over to the door and it opened to reveal black sobbing over red's form.

"Hesnotmovingithingmylittlebrothersdead." He blabbered again

Aqua rushed in and grabbed red. White tried to help black to the maintenance room.

Blacks stammered, delirium indiced rambles continued. White would've thought it embarrassing and funny in any other situation.

Black forced whites grip off him after some silence as they made it to the kitchen.

"Water i...need water...is there any...wa..." his feet got twisted and he quickly met the ground.

His head bounced off with a sickening "thwack" and his limbs settled with a disturbing gravity to them. White tried to catch him and was nearly pulled down as well.

He called blue over, who found his energy and rushed to his big brother.

For all inents and purposes, they were made to act like humans. One such example was breath. They may not have been able to breathe, but they still made the sounds.

And blacks breaths were forced and irregular, sounding like hisses.

Blues eyes widened.

Cheyenne-Stokes...Aka agonal breaths...Aka "last gasps"

"We need to move, now!" Blue said

Red made a quick recovery, black not so much.

The two sat outside the maintainance room while blue and pink worked tirelessly.

"Is he gonna he okay?" Red asked nervously

White didn't answer right away.

"I don't know." His voice was a deaf whisper.

"I hope he will be..." Red looked down again.

White could see red grip on himself tighten.

"I wish I'd been better to him..." it started that way, quiet and calm.

"I mean, I know we had our differences and we made fun of eachother and sometimes had disagreements but that doesn't mean I want him to die!" And ended off sounding the same way black did, minus the delirium.

White hugged his protégé tightly while he sobbed in his arms about how much he regretted treating black. He never had the heart to tell red that even so close to death, blacks' first concern was red himself.

After some time, blue came out seeming much more relaxed.

"I've got good news... he'll be alright. In fact, he just woke up." He held the door open for the inevitable stampede.

The two rushed in and nearly crushed black on their embrace.

"Stars above I'm so glad you pulled through!" Red cried out

"Of course I did! Was there any doubt?" He asked rhetorically

"Would we he here if there wasn't?" White answered back with, not letting go.

"I promise I'll never make fun of you again, I'll never ever tease you or sneak your mirror when you aren't looking!" Red said overjoyed.

"Well I'm glad yo-wait what?"

"Ah...nothing!"

And it would turn out, the roar they heard on the planet WAS the source of the noises...but it was simply a peaceful giant, similar in appearance to a wooly mammoth...this time, they all went and on a day where there weren't any blizzards.

---------------------------------------------------

This prompt was basically me asking myself "how much sustained punishment can I dish out on black without killing him?" Lmao

My headcanon is that because the bomber siblings are programmed to act human, when under extreme stress, they can be heard hyperventilating despite not having lungs.

I mainly got this from @lunaremy on a post they made a few days ago, but I decided to twist it further to more primitive function of humans such as Cheyenne-Stokes, which are basically called "dying gasps" or your brain going "FUCK NOTHING ELSE IS WORKING JUST FORCE THEM TO BREATH AND HOPE THAT SOLVES IT OTHERWISE WE ARE GOING TO DIE!"

Lol

Ooo how was Silver Snow? Still have to play that one :0

okay so context is i started silver snow like. YEARS ago. two years, probably. got 3h burnout. only started playing it again for [extremely secret reasons i will reveal hopefully on the 27th otherwise please do strike me down. anyway.]

which means i played the back half of silver snow's part 2 with like, NO memory of what a slog part 1 was to replay. that is to say, with part 1 done by some... mysterious other being, who was me, once upon a time, it was great!

a lot of moments that were meant to be serious were just. so silly though. but i am NOT the first to say this. like. the magic missles. what else. hubert's posthumous "hey btw u still gotta kill these guys lol."

it's like this game FOR SURE needed another year in the oven cuz the ASSPULLS dear god. like. seteth knows the slitherers exist. at the very least, he knows that there are people who supported nemesis. so could he. i dunno. investigate those guys himself. esp when rhea actually comes back and the two start chatting w flayn and talk abt all this slitherer stuff it's INTERESTING that maybe they could unravel the mystery behind the greatest tragedy to befall them!!

that like, maybe seteth and rhea can find some closure in catching those who killed their family!! that'd be like, COOL, wouldn't it, if seteth, as deuteragonist of silver snow, and the whole church crew, could've, like, sensed that something is Off abt the imperial army, and. yknow. not. had hubert tell them.

WHATEVER. IT'S WHATEVER

i generally LIKED part 2 outside of the Magic Missle Cutscene which just made me laugh so fucking bad. i gotta admit rhea's last speech to byleth actually nearly made me cry cuz it just lays rhea bare and actually shows growth on her part. like in her captivity she very obviously had time to reflect and she at last sees her mother is never coming back, but, at the very least, all this struggle has brought her byleth, her dear child, and that alone makes it all worth it. she acknowledges byleth for who they are and she is so so proud of them. it made me tear up.

and then it's WAGRGRGRRG RHEA TURNS INTO A MONSTER NOW CUZ FUCK YOU WE NEEDED A FINAL BOSS!!!!!

i think the shadowdropped lore of "yah btw all high ranking church members get some of rhea's blood" is quite frankly REALLY GROSS? obviously it's just there so the final map has additional enemies, and is thus a consequence of the setup for the final boss also being a total asspull.

but it's. gross. for. yknow. "the lizard pope has a secret section of the church where she gives people her blood" is. DO I EVEN NEED TO EXPLAIN HERE???

also this totally dilutes that she saved jeralt's life with her blood because jeralt and rhea's relationship was obviously special and complicated compared to other church members and it gave him a unique perspectice on rhea and that HE had a crest of seiros was LORE IMPORTANT because it meant byleth had a higher chance to actually obtain sothis' power and now you're telling me that like, a whole map's worth of fuckers got the same deal for free? without the emotional baggage? hey, fuck you??

the last cutscene where rhea dies in byleth's arms and she's obviously confused and lost and dying so she calls byleth mother even after her whole speech abt byleth being byleth it. it got to me. that was actually good writing in that one.

gameplay wise it was. hm. well i certainly had fun but the final map was TOO LONG. like u need to take out EVERY white beast which means u need to circle the ENTIRE fucking map before u can even THINK abt fighting rhea. whereas in ch20 i just went "fuck this i'm killing edelgard rn" and then i could and i did.

god BLESS the fucking archer brigade (petra, ashe, and last minute addition underlevelled cyril with that one no crest legendary bow), for being the ABSOLUTE HARD CARRIES on this clusterfuck of a final map. combined they could defeat one white beast per turn with that sweet sweet EFFECTIVE DAMAGE.

i will take ashe to endgame every single fucking time and all tier list makers can eat my dust. does ur meta breaker have lockpick utility. no they dont. ashy-boy best boy i will take no arguments.

also who the fuck needs an actual tank when u have seteth. thanks seteth for insane bulk and rally def.

thank u lysithea for customary dark knight baja blasting. lysithea is always good.

ch21 was fucking Confusing bcuz i didnt know where i was supposed to actually go first and ch20 was "wow this is just the blue lions finale except WAYYYYY easier because edelgard cant snipe me."

other maps i do not remember probably because all of them were also on blue lions. i know the ailel map was and FUCK OFF JUDITH. GO AWAY.

the funniest fucking thing is how silver snow just SKIPS the battle of eagle and lion because you dont have any of the house leaders. it just skips over the dramatic midpoint that existed primarily for All of the marketing. seteth drops in. hi byleth. by the way. dimitir is dead. claude has retreated. the empire has taken heavy losses so we gotta warcrime them right this fucking moment. byleth are you in.

yeah sure thing seteth let's fucking roll. time for a false flag operation. hey what's that weird light in the sky it's -

YE OLDE MAGICAL MISSLE!!!!!

anyway yeah. three houses stays three houses. which is to say. a very mixed bag that under the line leaves me kind of ambivalent these days but i could say "yeah that was fun" again considering i have like. no memory of replaying white clouds outside of "oh yeah edelgard was there."

Run Away

Scaramouche x GNReader

Sypnosis: Scaramouche remembers the time you invited him to elope with you.

Angst?

How young you both were. Naive, impulsive, and reckless. You both wouldn't last a day on your own. Scaramouche was sure to have made the right choice in rejecting you. At least, this is what he tells himself to ease the budding regret at the back of his head.

It was so vivid. The dark haired boy tried not to think about it; He really did yet he always found his thoughts trailing back to that night in his free time. It would've been a beautiful memory had it's circumstances not been so tragic.

The midnight before he became a harbringer, Scaramouche was perched on the terrace of his home with his head resting on his palm, counting the stars with a displeased and bored look.

"Scaramouche, Scaramouche, let down your hair!" The soon-to-be harbringer hears your voice from below.

His whole form perked up instantly as he ran to the railings of the terrace and sure enough, you were down there, grinning ever so mischievously.

"Quiet, you moron! Someone will hear you!" He shouts back, attempting to sound uninterested but the small curve at the corner of his lips gave away his true emotions.

You stare up at his form, illuminated by the moon. How majestic and alluring. Careful now, it would be embarrassing if he caught you drooling over him in his pajamas.

Gathering your thoughts, you start to climb your way to him. Scaramouche could only look at you with an amused expression.

"I have a ladder y,know." He says nonchalantly.

"Is it for climbing when you want to kiss me? Cause... Yknow. You're short." You joke, not bothering to look up knowing he was probably glaring holes into you by now.

"I am tempted to throw it at you sometimes."

One last step and you were sat on the railings, your faces, inches away from each other. Neither of you dare say a word that could ruin the moment for a few seconds. Perhaps both of you were trying to engrave this somewhat romantic scene into your vault of memories.

Something about his pretty purple eyes drew you in so you take this opportunity to steal a quick kiss from his lips.

Scaramouche feels the heat rising to his cheeks as he huffs in surprise. Trying to find words but ultimately failing.

"So... sixth harbringer, huh?" You start as you leap off from the railings and land closer to him.

He takes a step back to regain his composure. Going back to the bored expression he had earlier. It was clear that he didn't want to talk about this.

"Yes. Well, would you suggest someone more worthy for the title than I?" Scaramouche says rhetorically in an arrogant tone.

"Do you want it though?" You ask, leaning on the railings, with your back facing him.

You couldn't see him but you could tell he hesitated to answer. And that one split second of hesitation was enough for you to muster up your courage.

"Run away with me." You say sternly, turning to him again so you could take in his expression.

Scaramouche feels his heart beating faster in his chest, he's almost afraid you might hear it.

He chuckles nervously in response, not sure if you were joking or being serious. "Don't be stupid. You can't just waltz your way out of here."

You shake your head, glad that he was actually considering it. "Just say the word. I promise you I'll handle everything."

So you weren't joking. Still, Scaramouche wouldn't follow through with something so ridiculous and unprepared. "We've never even set foot outside of Snezhnaya."

You continue to press. "I've read enough books. Seen enough maps. We'll work it out!"

Your eyes glow with eagerness and hope, Scaramouche could almost feel himself falling more in love with you more than he already was... not almost. He actually was.

The dark haired boy starts to contemplate more on the idea of starting a whole new life with you.

"We could travel all across Teyvat." He says subconsciously.

You interlace your fingers with his, thinking you both were really gonna do this.

"Maybe settle down in Monstadt." You suggest.

"The city of freedom." He adds, locking eyes with you.

"Just a normal couple doing normal couple things." You smile, and in turn that makes him smile.

Scaramouche lays his head on your shoulder. Thinking about the beautiful future you both could have together, worrying not of combat training or fatui business. Growing old, maybe even having children, then grandchildren. Dreams of an amazing future together.

But dreams remain dreams.

You both snap out of it when you hear a knock at the door.

All of the sudden, you're back to reality and he still was gonna become a harbringer tomorrow and you're still going to lose him.

"Sir, the Tsaritsa would like to have a word." The voice at the other side of the door calls. A fatui agent.

You find a place to hide for a bit as he rudely shoos off the poor man.

Once the uninvited guest was gone, you give him a sneaky back-hug, with the hopes that the plans were still on.

"I can't." Scaramouche says in a defeated tone.

You're eyebrows furrow, slowly you let go of him. "Of course you can! Just pack a few bags and we'll be off before dusk."

"No. No one has ever went against the Tsaritsa's will and lived to tell the tale." Scaramouche states.

"You won't be going against her! Just moving away from her." You try convincing him in a shaky voice.

"No. (Y/N), listen to me. Even if we did leave we have nothing to feed ourselves. No money, no family, no authority-"

"Authority? Is that why you want to stay so bad? Because of your little power fantasy?" You retorted, later regretting it as you see the hurt in his face.

The expression quickly turns into anger. "How dare you even accuse me of that. Who do you think you are!?"

"Well I thought I was your lover."

You both stare each other down as the room's atmosphere grows heavier.

It pained him to fight with you and fights were never this serious. And Scaramouche was scared that one more persuasive sentence from you would cause him to give in, follow his heart, sweep you of your feet, and be on your way to springvale by tomorrow.

So he said what he thought he had to say, "Lover? You're just a fling. Give me a break. You're a fool if you really thought whatever we had was going anywhere." It broke his heart to lie but Scaramouche was great at hiding his sadness, or rather, disguising it with anger.

After all, you continuing to be with him as he was a harbringer would put your life in peril. He was doing the right thing... but then why did it feel so wrong?

You feel tears running down your cheeks but you still refused to believe him. How well you could see through him. Or so you hope. "You're lying."

He turns his back to you for fear of his own tears giving him away.

Scaramouche lets out a forced groan. Out of desperation, he lists things he hates about you. Personal things he didn't actually hate but had to pretend he hated. His voice laced with venom and anger, not towards you but rather the Fatui, the Tsaritsa, even the whole of Snezhnaya and it's damn snow for putting the both of you in this situation.

"-I hate that you think you can read me. I hate it when you try acting all lovey dovey with me it's disgusting. And I hate you for making me want to just kiss you right now and forget about everything but us." He lets the last part slip.

Silence

Scaramouche turns to you. You're not there. Not anymore.

Filled with regret, he runs to the railings and tries to search for you but not a trace. Not a damn trace of you and it seems you took his heart with you too.

That was the last time he saw you. Scaramouche can't help but sigh sharply everytime he recalls that night. But he treasures it. He treasures every moment he spent with you and promised to himself that when all of this is over, he will find you again and you'll finally run away, hand in hand.

Subcon Forest Analysis

Hi everyone I'm here to spill my aggressive overflowing thoughts on Subcon Forest and what it represents because it's been driving me insane since I finished the Sleepy Subcon time rift. Okay let's go. Obvious spoilers for AHIT ahead so proceed with caution.

This is also very, very long.

Disclaimer/warning: I will be discussing abusive/unhealthy relationships in this analysis. I mean. Vanessa. Come on. Also, there is a section on the nooses, and that delves, of course, into mentions of suicide. It will be sectioned off and easily skipped, but if you'd rather be safe and skip the entire post, that's completely understandable! Please stay safe. <3

Alright. Main point to be had here:

Subcon Forest is a giant extended metaphor for Snatcher's mind and character.

You all get to now listen to me spout nonsense about metaphors and symbolism because I'm a sucker for analysis and I'm given an opportunity to go ham. So perish.

The Ice

Let's start with the most obvious and most glaring thing in Subcon. The ice. It's everywhere. Not just outside Vanessa's manor, either; no, it's throughout the village, too. Shows up in the well and in random locations sprinkled about. When it comes to literal plot, we know that ice is just what lingers after Vanessa's wintery curse on Subcon. But going deeper and analyzing the meaning behind it?

Well, let's look at this from the perspective I've suggested. Subcon Forest being an extended metaphor for Snatcher's mind and character. A symbol for Vanessa then litters his mind, enough where it's certainly noticeable at first but blends in more easily once more of Subcon is unlocked to Hat Kid. This is clearly meant to be his lingering trauma, whether or not he wants to acknowledge it. Which he doesn't, as he never mentions it directly in his forest (that I can recall). Her influence plagues him, as to be expected with the traumatic experiences he went through with her. Breaking the ice is something Hat Kid must do in order to fulfill the wishes of the Fire Spirits (another subject I'll get into shortly), which, if self-indulgently playing with the found family idea, could mean that Hat Kid is helping him heal; if indirectly. Even if fulfilling the Fire Spirits' wish to die is... counterproductive, in that measure, which I'm now getting ahead of myself so hold on a sec!!

Vanessa. Ice. Everywhere. Traces of it all over his forest. That's the effects of an abusive relationship! Especially in a worst-case scenario where... yknow! One party in the relationship dies! So of course ice would be everywhere.

In and of itself, ice is a common symbol in literature and other forms of media. In this case, it's presented as an antagonistic force; emphasis is placed upon freezing and the harm that comes with it. The cold is unwelcoming, threatening, merciless. Snow can act as an insulating force, at least, but ice cannot. It can only make things colder.

A slight stretch: Seeing as this game deals a lot with time shenaniganry, I'm not sure if it'd be too out of left field to connect "freezing" with the theme of time. Yknow. Frozen in time. Both parties here, Snatcher and Vanessa, would be in this frozen state. One largely repressing it and never fully moving on, and the other doomed to her isolation ever since the event in question. They never moved past that moment after the Prince and florist's interaction.

The Fire Spirits (& the Portraits)

I'll put a slight warning here for suicidal ideation, if only because... it's the Fire Spirits we're talking about. It's not as grossly in-detail as the noose discussion will be, though, so make of that what you will.

To me, the Fire Spirits are a very interesting case. After all, they're fire. They're a direct contrast to the ice, thus being the only thing we're shown that could potentially melt it. The Fire Spirits, in my opinion, represent hope or a strength to continue. A strength to move on after troubles of the past.

...And that hope wants to die.

The Fire Spirits wish to burn out, to leave this mortal coil and abandon the forest to the cold. They make no effort to melt the ice, they simply dance, blissfully ignorant towards their surroundings. This being a metaphor for Snatcher's own hope for moving on is made all the more obvious by the fact he wants them gone. The first contract is to kill the Fire Spirits, to kill the hope. Perhaps he believes that sort of thing to be fruitless or naïve, so it only clutters his mind or has him foolishly optimistic at points. So, get rid of it. And the hope is happy to oblige.

(That, or their willingness to leave the forest to its own suffering and not aid in the ice's thaw angers him. Besides the whole "bark bark growl I can't get to parts of my forest because of them!!" which... also could represent a naïve hope clouding his judgement, not allowing him to see a bigger picture. But hope can't all be lost if one wants to move forward...)

A little side-tangent now on the portraits! And it's another slight stretch but the idea is in my head and I can't let it go. Portraits are another common symbol, usually being a physical representation of a memory or idea. For our purposes, let's say they're memories. I know in canon they appear to just hold souls captive or something but for now we're just Ignoring That(tm). The Fire Spirits have to burn the portraits to disappear. See where I'm going with this, maybe?

Instead of handling bad memories (or perhaps memories of the past in general) in any healthy manner, Snatcher chooses to forget/repress them, which just allows his hope to progressively die out.

I'm really hoping this is making sense because it makes a lot of sense to me but I might be insane rn

The Fact that this is a Forest

Forest symbolism breakdown! What's a forest usually mean in literature? "Traditionally, the forest has come to represent being lost, exploration and potential danger as well as mystery and 'other worldliness'." Okay. Yeah. Fair enough. That certainly works with the whole aesthetic we've got going on. Wood usually is life, growth and strength. But the trees of subcon are all dead. So what about that? It stands for death, big whoop, very spooky, we know Snatcher's dead and so are the children, yadda yadda wowie wowie. But. :) The trees in Subcon look a lot like trees that were scorched in a forest fire. Don't believe me?

(You could also argue they're just regular marsh/swamp trees bUT SSHHSUUHSH HANG ON HEAR ME OUT LOOK LOOK,)

What I believe to have happened was a controlled fire to rid the forest of the majority of its ice and snow. Likely done by Snatcher. It leaves behind a very desolate, depressing, barren scene... but. What else do dead/burnt trees symbolize? Rebirth. After all, controlled fires happen to make way for new trees to take the place of old ones. Some trees only drop seeds in fires/hot temperatures, so new ones take root and begin anew. Weird. It's almost like... I dunno. Snatcher was given some sorta second chance, given he's not just a corpse in Vanessa's cellar. So were the subconites. Another life given then by Snatcher. All connected I tell ya!!

Generally, aside from that, forests have many connotations. Mystery, isolation, claustrophobia; a place to dwell on regrets, or the past; to worry over one's future; to seek escape from or escape inside of... hmgmrnmm!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- T / W -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The Nooses

The t/w is given at the top and another cut-off point will follow the bottom of this, for those that would like to skip. This will delve into talk of suicide and abusive tactics used by abusers. Please don't read if it will upset you or make you feel unsafe!!!

Personally, I cannot stand the nooses, but that's just due to my own triggers. Were there a way to hide those from the game or replace the damned talking ones with anything else. I would take it. In a heartbeat. But I can still appreciate the potential analysis to be had with them. So now i'm gonna talk about it despite how uncomfortable it will make me to do so. yEa

So, what about 'em? There are three types of nooses seen in Subcon. At least that I remember but I didn't really go looking for them. Empty ones, ones containing empty subconites, and the talking ones.

Nooses in general obviously can hint towards suicidal thoughts or behaviors of the characters that interact with them. If saying Subcon is Snatcher's mind, it could suggest that he suffered from some sort of suicidal thoughts in life (or currently, if second death is possible... or if he never truly died... or maybe he's trying to figure that out...which has given me... a separate idea...uh oh). But. And hear me out. Different perspective.

A talking noose. I hate them with a fiery passion that is unmatched. But think of the packed symbolism of a noose that talks. And think more about what it says. "I wouldn't mind being strapped around a cute neck like yours." "Be careful now, I don't want to see you meet a miserable end anywhere, but with me." Oddly, a lot of what the noose says seems almost... endearing? One could argue it's a way of luring someone to put it around their necks, which in and of itself is a whole lot to unpack when it comes to suicidal thoughts beckoning one forward; painting itself as something romantic, almost. But. Here's a wild idea, now. What if the nooses, at least the talking ones, are another symbol for Vanessa?

They're tinted blue, after all. While Vanessa's scheme is more red, one could argue two things: One, ice. Blue. Ice. yeah. Or two, the fact that Snatcher's scheme is more purple. Blue and red... make... purple. So, for all we know, Snatcher's current state was a compound effort between suicidal thoughts and Vanessa's treatment of him. Perhaps he even found a way to put himself out of his misery before freezing/starving to death. (I know he has dialogue that argues against that, but... are we certain Snatcher would be the kind to admit suicide over freezing to death?... I don't think so.)

At any rate, a common threat by those in "control" of an abusive relationship is that of killing themselves should the other person not do as they desire. It's a cruel form of emotional manipulation to get their way, worse off if the other party is an empathetic individual. As a person who has been the empathetic individual in relationships like this... I would know. I've been here, unfortunately So, it's not completely out of the question to say Vanessa could've used some tactic like that, even before the whole... cellar ordeal. Did she? I dunno. I'm tossing ideas around. But if she did, the threats of such would sit around in the Prince's mind easily. Even if she has a reputation of not going through with it. It doesn't matter. That shit sticks with you forever, that scare, the potential of it ever being true, is horrifying and it ruins you. I'm projecting, Squirtle.

Still. A noose cannot hang itself. It has to have a victim.

...yea.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- T / W PASSED -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Misc. Ideas

- The spiders: Aside from the usual things spiders can be chalked up to symbolizing - toxicity, alluring danger, just... general pain - I like the potential wordplay that can happen here. Yknow. A black widow. Say the Prince and Vanessa were married when one died. What would that leave Vanessa? A widow. ...She's red and black, too. Yknow. Like a black widow. HA wordplay is fun isn't it?

- Snatcher's tree: Love this place, love sitting in here. But not the point! The inside of Snatcher's tree is such a harsh juxtaposition to the rest of Subcon that it kinda throws ya off guard. After all, the dark, purples and blues then contrasted with the bright warm colors of the inside. Even the music switches over. The thorns outside aren't present indoors. Ohh yeah this is gonna be on the nose as hell but the Tree(tm) is 100% representing Snatcher's appearance/put-on personality vs. his truer nature. Spooky outside with thorns, foreboding, unwelcoming. Then the more comfortable interior. VULnerable. Have I even mentioned that the tree is HOLLOW I mean COME ON. The sturdiness of that tree? Nonexistent. He's not a sturdy guy at all no matter how he fronts

- Intrusions are unwelcome: Snatcher does not like the fact that Hat Kid sticks around in his forest. His personal space. His mind. In fact he tries desperately to get rid of her after their fight, not wanting her presence in his forest at all. He has no problem providing more contracts later on with the Death Wish thing, and he finds great entertainment in messing around with Hat Kid, so it's not just a weird sudden hatred he has for her; it's the fact that. After she's finished being useful, he no longer wants her around, lest she find some things she shouldn't find. Now he's just uncomfortable with her in his personal boundaries. Could just be a denial that she's helped him heal (breaking ice, stealing from Vanessa, being something interesting for his kids to interact with) or just not really wanting a child to get wrapped up in. All that. Most likely the former. Considering the amount of joke-hints he drops regarding his background during his Death Wish dialogue. I see you funny man, making jokes out of your trauma as a coping mechanism. Punts him

Annnd I think that's all I got, for now! I'll make an update post if I get any more sporadic ideas. If you read this whole thing, thank you!! and also!! Wow that was a lot!! Hell world. Please feel free to elaborate on any of my points or debate with me on em!! I'm always open to other ideas, just be aware that if I disagree I am not shy when it comes to debate hehehe, tho I won't be aggressive to any extent I prommy!!

Alrighty. goes to sleep goodnight

Okay so

In the name of potentially angsty au's I present to you:

Frost child Hollyberry! Au

Spoilers for the frost queen story

Small mention of polyancients and implied hollytaya as well!

And the only reason she hasn't suffered the same fate is that she lives in the warmest parts of earthbread so much. Whenever shes in cold places like the cacao kingdom or frost queen's domain that's when she starts getting sick and things get suspiciously snowy.

The angst obviously comes in when entering frost queen's domain, Holly obviously wouldn't know anything about being a frost child, potentially never even seen the snow, and she thinks it's amazing, mesmerising even. And then yknow... She's gonna start getting the symptoms... All at once... And it's gonna hurt-really fucking bad.

Also have you seen her outfits??? They're both suspiciously warm and cozy outfits for supposedly being from the most tropical kingdom. And having been to somewhere called crispia.

And also both she and her matching legendary(pitaya) have the whole fire thing, her light of passion takes a more fiery form compared to vanilla's light of truth and she's also mentioned to have a fiery passion and spirit in the nether gacha. Maybe that's what's keeping her alive even in some of the colder climates?

Though I like to think the ancients all send her presents around the same time each year-just when it starts to get cold and snowy, anticipating her sickness. And then all get together at her kingdom so she doesnt have to move to see her lovers.

Pitaya is also like... Super failsafe. If she gets too cold they are right there to warm her up via basically just being a heater and holding her so she won't try to get up and do things (they will kidnap her and take her to their home in dragons valley if they have to.)

Oh what the hell, thoughts and headcanons for You'll find out

• So I'm gonna be ragging on this poor film pretty hard, so let's start out positive and say that all of the bad guys in this are great-especially Professor Fenninger. I just really enjoy how despite what a silly film this is Peter, Bela and Boris take their roles as seriously as they would in a more dramatic film

• Considering I associate this film with the general theme of obnoxious vintage funnymen making dumb jokes about how spoopy Peter Lorre and similar actors who were typecast as horror guys are, Kay kyser is actually surprisingly enjoyable in this film. I mean I wouldn't be against some of his screen time being handed over to the bad guys or anything, but his reactions to the weirdness going on are actually pretty funny, especially with Aunt Margo at the beginning

• Speaking of, What's the deal with Aunt Margo when we first meet her? Just in the middle of a trance like that. Idk it's not like we don't see her in that state later in the film aswell or anything, but I feel like it would've worked better if she was acting normal till someone brought up the supernatural or Elmer and then she starts acting all weird maybe? Also did she wanna fuck Kay kyser?

• Yknow that Jim Carrey looking guy? Ish kebabble? I. Hate. Him. Soooooo much. It is unreal. He fills me with seething rage with every move he makes. I hate his stupid bowl cut, I hate his stupid dog, I hate that thing he does with his eyes. Stop fucking making that face you fuck! You are being confronted by the supernatural, show some godamn respect! Why did you survive!?

• Speaking of, if there was ever a film where im glad we don't actually see the bad guys die, is it ever this one, lemme tell you. Never have I wanted the villains to have faked their deaths and come back to triumph over the heros more

• Considering we never learn Professor Fenningers real name, I'm a big fan of him potentially being another character Peter Lorre played. I've suggested Gimpy and Cairo before, but maybe even Abbott? Ofc the problem with the Abbott theory is that he's from a pre-hays code film so his death is a lot more explicit and harder to write off as fake

• However, if he's not another Peter character, I HC Professors Fenningers real name to be Moritz Veidt. Just cause I like the way it sounds

• So we can all agree that Fenninger and Mainwaring are fucking right? My personal HC is that they're together and Saliano and Fenninger used to be an item and Saliano isn't over him. Either that or they're both his exes and Mainwaring has the distinction of being the one Fenninger is still kind of attracted to

• I'm a fan of the whole sequence when Ginny is singing 'I'd Know you anywhere' it's a lovely song, I like her voice and I enjoy the simple visuals of it cutting from her to the three villains. It's my favourite musical performance in the film and definitely my favourite scene focusing mainly on one of the nonvillain characters

• Can we talk about Janis finding out that Fenninger was the man creeping on her and Ginny getting changed and being like "Oh thank god, it was only you :)" like...bestie. Yeah, she doesn't know he was only checking to see if she's alive cause he wants her dead, but I don't care how much you think mysticism is bologna, you should not trust some guy you've never met before if the first interaction you two had was him climbing up your balcony and standing outside the transparent door of a room where you were changing just because you're hoping he'll callout your aunts medium for being a fraud

• I remember thinking what a casual that dude Kay Kyser had on his show was for not knowing "hi ho hi ho" was from snow-white since 'we all grew up with that film', then I remembered that dude was an adult when snow-white came out and I felt very strange thinking about just how old the film I was watching really was

#youll find out #professor karl fenninger #judge spencer mainwaring #prince saliano #Janis Bellacrest #Margo Bellacrest #Kay Kyser #Ginny Simms #Ish Kabbible
