Prompt 273

You know what? We need more Good parents Fentons.

And you know what else? Technically, Jack helped Danny defeat Pariah via the use of the Ecto-Skeleton. And like, that’s his son, his baby boy. Sure Danny is and has always been a mommy’s boy, but it doesn’t change that fact. They’re both already feeling horrible about the fact they could have hurt him, they could have hurt their son- they have hurt their son, killed him with their inaction and never again.

So when these oversized jello-eyeballs try to insist that their baby, their precious baby boy, take a crown? Become a king when he’s not even out of highschool, when he doesn’t want it? No. Hell no! That is his Danny-o, his baby boy who was terrified of his own parents!

Which is how Jack, despite technically still being alive even if so-very ecto-contaminated, became the Ghost King.

And for some reason there’s several ghosts rather happy about this- oh, these are his Danny-O’s ghost-parents? Not-ghost parents seeing as some of them have never been anything but a realm denizen? That’s really fascinating- y’know what, want some fudge and we can exchange childcare- Maddie dear come over and meet our co-parents apparently!

Now it’s not all easy, but they’re trying their best, and that’s all that can be asked.

…

Which is perhaps why it’s so exasperating- or as Maddie would put it, downright infuriating- that it is now, almost an entire year and a half later that the Heroes finally arrive to investigate. Well, at least he has plenty of fudge since it’s almost time for the council meeting.

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Ghost King Jack #Jack is never picking up a gun again #Why yes they did have a one-night stand with Constantine before #The fentons adopt Ellie as soon as they can which also ends with some conversations with Vlad #Lots of conversations & therapy and Y E A H #Jack is like an unmovable object and Danny is like an unstoppable force #Dan gets snatched up the moment he goes back in time from his timeline #He has no clue wtf to do because it’s Not Fair that Danny gets this #That he gets his parents- that he gets acceptance #Dan doesn’t realize until the whole Fentom Family (& Vlad) hugs him that he realizes he can #Jordan is very overprotective of his second chance at family thanks to trauma #Somehow him and Vlad get on well together- probably the villain-leaning habits #GIW had a complete info blackout on Amity to the point they erased the existence of the city #Hence why it took so long for the heroes to find out #Eventually via Deadman after he disappears for a bit & returns telling them there’s a new king & everyone #is getting little information packets on new rules & getting their paperwork taken care of #Pretty much getting visa (Sp?) cards on what they’re doing in the living world

We don't talk enough about the fact that Amelia Pond, s5 Amelia Pond, before the timeline is reset, isn't just a normal orphan. Her parents didn't die, didn't abandon her, and didn't send her away. They never existed in the first place.

And if her parents never existed, then Amelia cannot exist. She is a causal impossibility.

"People fall out of the world sometimes, but they always leave traces." A photograph. A face carved into an apple. Yes. Sure.

A child.

Now that's too big, surely.

But that's what she is. She is exactly the same as these things. A trace. An echo of something that could never be, never was, never could have been.

And the universe should never allow it. A whole person, that's just too much. She could not have continued to exist indefinitely, in normal circumstances, after her parents never existed.

In normal circumstances.

Because the Doctor didn't just save her from things coming out of the crack in her wall. He saved her from going into it. And he didn't just save her from the threat of going into it simply because of its vicinity.

No, by arriving when he did, he interrupted a process that was probably already in motion. And then by arriving again only moments later on a cosmic relative timestream (too quickly for the process to complete) and yet in the local relative timestream, years later --- years of a potential future caught midway through the process of rewriting -- he solidified that existence. Amy is a creature from another timeline, caught in amber. The Doctor prevented her from never existing, but only after she could already never exist.

And so, no one around Amelia thinks about it. Neither does she. There's some kind of consciousness block, because if you thought about it, really thought about it, for two seconds you'd realize she cannot exist. And the human mind can't deal with that. So, to protect itself, everyone's brain simply slides off it before ever noticing. They just assume that her existence makes sense, and don't question it, and don't notice what they don't question, that is staring them in the face.

But of course, to some extent they do notice. They can't think it, but they notice subconsciously that there's something they can't think. They notice there's something wrong with her, something uncanny. And they don't like it, and they alienate her even more because of it.

"Does it ever bother you Pond that your life existence doesn't make any sense?"

#like!!!!!! why arent we talking about this!!!!!!!#amelia pond #amy pond #the ultimate autism metaphor on top of being autistic anyway #doctor who #dw #ndw #dw theory #lavender thoughts #SHE CAN'T EXIST SHE IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE #you called clara the impossible girl but that's amy #and THEN the fact that even after it's all set right #she remains shaped by -- remains deeply traumatized by -- a timeline that never happened; a reality that never was #AUGH !!!!!#some wounds just can't heal even if the thing that caused them never existed in the first place #some wounds remain as a TRACE of the other time just as you yourself were once #THE mental illness rep of all time #and in the big bang of course the doctor had to take the shortcut because if they'd all gone the long way round #she'd have been gone before he got there #as starless universe's little amelia disappeared.... it could be millienia but from another perspective it HAD to be moments #they made it only in the nick of time #and the doctor knew that #pond #the life and times of amy pond

Hehe

-In which Emmet manages to get to Hisui and back, bringing Ingo home but accidentally leaving Sugar behind </3

-Sugar slowly realizes that her trainer abandoned her and starts hating humans, eventually dying and becoming a Hisuian Zoroark.

-Emmet assumes that she died in Hisui (which she did, technically) and has a reasonable grieving period, until she reappears as a ghost type. At which point Emmet is absolutely horrified to realize that Sugar's been in horrible pain for the last 100 something years, thinking that he left her to freeze to death in Hisui.

-'Spice' is just Sugar's jokersona </3

#hoof draws #replacement ingo au #<-another funny little au branch i thought of uhm. i'll get back to the normal timeline now but i had one last concept to get out #.i don't know what the trope is called but i love stories where pessimist-leaning kinda bitter guy teams up w/ optimist silly guy #and pessimist guy slowly rubs off on optimist guy via dragging them thru trauma and wearing them down over time #until there's the pivotal confrontation and suddenly seeing how absolutely beaten down and angry they look #.compared to how they looked at the start (full of life)#and pessimist guy suddenly realizing that they absolutely ruined this person's life in their carelessness #<-not that emmet is really at fault for anything but like god. that moment of realizing he accidentally fucked up sugar's life

Brad Callahan, Quarterback

So Brad, instead of Max, being the Nighthawks QB is one of the more interesting minor details in Yellow Jacket. Of course a lot of time has passed since the timelines diverged, so it's perfectly possible that Max's family moved, or that the try-outs played out differently. But also could there be the Implication(TM) that Max is, you know... dead?

I highly doubt that a version of Nerdy Prudes played out in this timeline, since it's hard to see Steph and Pete going along with anything Grace says now that they're free of the Witch Wood and her reign of summer camp terror. But we still have Grace herself, who in this timeline possesses both untainted prudishness and an alliance with Little Jerry, and is already a bit mad with power by the time their senior year starts. And it's hard to imagine a version of Max who doesn't hit on Grace any chance he gets. So what if, to punish him for his carnal desires, the Grace of Nightmare Time 2 lured Max out into the woods (just as, a couple of branches over, she had him lured to the Waylon House) and let the Axe Man do his work on her behalf? Leaving Brad Callahan to step forward and torment Hannah with his enlarged ego and Justin Bieber haircut.

I know there's a lot of what-ifs in this, but we can't deny that the Max of the Nightmare Time 2 timeline is conspicuous in his absence. It just makes sense to me, that the Grace of Abstinence Camp would also rain demonic justice down on Max and call it divine. And I love the idea that Max and Grace are another pattern that echoes out across the web of timelines, like some twisted inversion of Paulkins or Lautski. Paul and Emma will always find each other, as will Steph and Pete. Lex and Ethan will always love each other and it will always be doomed. And Grace Chasity will oh-so-righteously send Max Jagerman to his demise. Even if we don't see it happen.

It's just so fucked up and therefore so very Them.

#like I get that they didn't have Max in Yellow Jacket because they weren't ready to cast him yet #but they knew who he was and that he was the QB #so very pointedly making Brad the QB instead of something different feels like a very pointed choice #also I just love the idea of being able to spot traces of other timelines and extrapolate moments of cause-and-effect between the lines #like you wouldn't be able to even theorize that Grace killed Max without seeing NPMD but then you put the two together and a story forms #exclusively within the implications #but still #we all know what the Langs have to say about implications #max jagerman #grace chasity #steph lauter #pete spankoffski #yellow jacket #brad callahan #nightmare time #abstinence camp #lumberaxe #Little Jerry #nerdy prudes must die #npmd #npmd spoilers #nerdy prudes must die spoilers #starkid #hatchetfield theory #hatchetfield

#True Love by Tifa Lockhart: Coming not so soon to a console near you LMAO #and then all Cloud’s little admissions about how much she meant to him and how he took Masamune to the chest for her and Zack? GIRLLLL #REVOLUTIONARY MOMENT IN THE MAKING FS #whispers and timeline madness will NEVER take that power from us.

ok i dont think this is anything related to the watchmaker and all that stuff, but i think its insane that the Family turns traitors into memory zone memes because the concept of the memory zone memes is just that they were created by the true Dreamscape and from the emotions of those within the Dreamscape

this was from the emoscape with Mr McCoy in Dewlight Pavilion, where he was ordered by the Dreammaster to turn his siblings, who were apparently selling information to the IPC about the Family, into memory zone memes, but now i'm wondering just how many people got turned into memory zone memes for being a traitor

I would have said too that maybe the Family - trying to seek out the traitor and the killer of the first Oak Family Head - framed the Watchmaker and possibly turned him into a memory zone meme as well, but the Family is trying to search for the Watchmaker so that's less likely the case. But I just love seeing how fucked up actually the Family can be AND getting more information about the Dreammaster since there really isn't much of anything

#my only thing rn is like 'WHO IS GALLAGHER REALLY'#but i genuinely have no idea alksjdfalkjh #one post i have in mind to do is a timeline of events in penacony history #but i think whats neat is that this is a generational murder case #in dewlight pavilion the 6 nightingale statues you interact with/that spin around #have descriptions that talk about the first family heads within the family #and specifically the one about the bloodhound family head who was loyal and stayed by the oak familys head #as he bled out/got killed #hold on let me see the exact wording #'when the oak family head was betrayed and left to die it was he that accompanied him in his final moments.'#i think itd be fucked up if the dreammaster decided to lock up watchmaker as clockie LAKSDJFHAL #OR LIKE.#idk i feel like itd be weird if they redid the same concept but memory wiped mikhail being misha but that also wouldnt make sense anyways #because that doesnt explain misha's grandfather who is that.#mikhail. sir. i need more information on you. i think youre neat and fun :(#soanyways !#penacony has not shied itself of its former past #i mean it was clear when they decided to use the jail cells as the main transportation in penacony #but to basically jail 'criminals' into playing parts within their little stageplay of an amusement park #i kept saying 'this is steering towards deadman wonderland vibes' and it. it kinda is LAKSJDHFALKSJ #though. not as gory. but theres MURDER AFOOT #avil plays hsr

seeing the intermittent talk about all the comparisons between each hatchetfield show is making me realize i liked black friday a lot more than most people

i mean for granted my experience with starkid really bolstered up during covid (and with the “extended free time” i could really dive deep into their stuff then) and black friday has still stuck out to me a lot since then

don��t get me wrong!! i love tgwdlm!!! i love nerdy prudes if my fanart surplus doesn’t prove that enough COUGH COUGH PETER ART

but there’s just something about black friday and it’s relatively darker tone that just… got to me. Take Me Back makes me cry whenever i listen to it. so does Black Friday (the track). What If Tomorrow Comes is the most chilling number to me for a show to end off on. are they alive? are they dead? who’s to say if we actually know where that thing landed! and yeah we know they’re dead but there’s that dreadful little wish of hope and perhaps more horror in the idea that if everyone survived? then they’re so much more fucked than being dead. like pokey’s apotheosis, except who knows whatever wiggly exactly wants to do with the mortal world. i love lex i love ethan i love hannah i love tom houston i love becky barnes i love(/hate) wiley that son of a bitch and it was fascinating to see macnamera get a stronger role in the show. please come home john we miss you and then all the character cameos at the end too!!

this absolutely isn’t to say that like everyone hated the show or something!!! just that i’ve seen the general gist being that black friday’s lower when you try to tier all the hatchetfield shows which makes me kinda confused considering all the content it opened a window for. especially when letting these get highlighted in the Nightmare Time.

tldr; one sad cat watched a show while sick and became emotionally attached to it. you don’t have to say you like/love black friday but you gotta appreciate the portal it opened for the greater expansion of hatchetfield’s stories overall

#this has been a certified yapping moment #starkid #starkid black friday #wallace drabbles #i mean maybe i also like bf because i’m a horrible little beast #who likes sad stories and considering this timeline is one of the darkest #it’s like a match made in ?????

being raised by daryl dixon: part two

Masterlist!! Get added to my taglist!!

Being raised by Daryl Dixon masterlist!! Being raised by Daryl Dixon taglist!!

A/N: ty for all the love on part one!! mwah mwah!! i rlly wanna put it out there, the strong group bond exists! that just isn't the focus of this story so it does get skipped over a bit. also i apologise for this part covering such a short time span. did also change y/n to be feminine, it's needed for some of my later ideas to make sense, which you begin to see in this part. hope you enjoy!! <333

-S404

Warnings: Just normal TWD stuff! Also kind of a filler part, nothing too serious happens, just a ton of fun Dad Daryl moments!

Word count: 1.3k

After the ordeal at the highway, the group spent months travelling on foot. It was during this time your bond with Daryl really grew stronger. You had learnt not to complain about being hungry, or your legs being tired, but Daryl didn't need you to say it for him to carry you on his back and give you more rations than he could spare.

He spent a lot of time separate from the group, hunting whatever animals remained out there. He realised then, that he was doing this for the whole group because he cared about them, not just because he had to.

After a few weeks of travelling, the group reached a promising small town. Hershel was given the responsibility of watching over you whilst houses were cleared, as Daryl was out hunting. That day you got into an altercation with a walker which ended with a bite taken out of your sneaker.

When Daryl came back and Hershel informed him on the situation that day, everyone fell silent in the next room to hear what he would say. "I don't care if she didn't get bit ol' man. If she ever come back to me with a hair plucked out of her head, or god forbid an actual injury, whilst yer the one caring for 'er, you will never see the light of day again, yer hear me?" As Daryl walked into the room, everyone pretended to have not paid any attention.

Over the next few days, Daryl found you proper hiking boots and began teaching you basic knife skills. You told him you were jealous of Carl, because he could shoot, Daryl promised to teach you how to shoot when there was the leisure time and ammo to spare. He stayed around the group as much as he could until he was confident you wouldn't be found in that situation again if he was gone.

Back on the road, scouting out a grocery store, you found a box of pregnancy tests and gave them to Lori because you read the word "pregnancy" and thought of her instantly. She laughed and said "God I can't wait until we really settle down and get these kids learning again." Shortly after, her and Daryl got into an argument because he thought teaching you how to hunt was more important than teaching you how to read, because "Yer don't need to read 'rabbit' to kill it."

You felt much safer after arriving at the prison. As promised, the second working on the prison's security wasn't mandatory for him, Daryl began taking you outside of the perimeter to teach you how to shoot. You were such a natural that after a week of practise, Daryl could move onto teaching you what he really wanted to, hunting skills.

One day, you and Daryl were tracking a squirrel, and just as you were about to take a shot at it with his crossbow, you stepped on a stick and alerted the creature. As it started to scatter away, Daryl ran after it, eventually pinning it on the floor, letting you take the shot again, he knew how much it meant to you.

You were there to witness Lori's death, and it devastated you. You watched everyone piece themselves back together eventually, but you felt on edge constantly, feeling as though something like that could happen again easily at any given time.

You moved into Daryl's cell to make yourself feel safer. At first you snuck in during the night with your pillow and bear, and slept on the cold concrete floor. You woke up that morning tucked into the bed. The next night when you went to sneak in, you were welcomed by three stacked mattresses on the floor, with pillows and blankets on top ready for you. The two of you never said anything about it, but it became routine.

Daryl took on Judith very well, and you helped him look after her whilst Carl and Rick were grieving Lori. You loved the baby. Daryl left you with her once and came back to you telling her that she was "going to beat the world." He told you that "she'd only be learnin' from the best." That made you smile.

When Maggie and Glenn decided to give each other haircuts in the prison barber's, you begged Maggie to cut your hair like hers. Daryl said no because "you'd regret it, yer love your long hair don't ya'?" But really he just thought you'd look so much older with it cut, he didn't want you to grow up. When you told him it was annoying and got in your face all the time, he offered to braid it for you instead. He didn't know how to braid. He got Carol to teach him soon after the exchange, and prepped himself up heavily for the moment you finally came for him to do it.

You finally felt comfortable in the prison at night, so you started sleeping alone in your cell again, that was until Carl came to you one night asking if he could sleep on the floor, Judith was being too loud in the other cell block where he usually slept.

You and Carl spent the next day moving a second bed into your room, Daryl helped you on the condition you wouldn't tell Rick he was involved. You all ran and hid after dropping the mattress from the balcony which made Rick call out "What in the hell was that?" He walked into the silent cell block, but caught you all after Carl started giggling too loudly, Daryl bolted away from the scene and Rick chased after him. You were sore from laughing afterwards.

Daryl made Carol help him give you the boy talk that he felt was growing necessary. Carol gave you the entire talk whilst Daryl sat next to her occasionally grunting in agreement. The only contribution he made was when Carol stared at him, trying to get him to say something encouraging. He said "If a man... or a woman, up to you. If they ever try pull anything on you that yer don't like, you remind 'em who taught ya how to kill." As you looked at him mildly confused, Carol definitely regretted allowing him to speak.

For your thirteenth birthday, Carl recruited Daryl's help to bake a cake for you. They sneaked into Rick's farm to milk the cow and collect eggs. The milk was an easy grab, but they found there were no eggs at all. Daryl, in frustration, held a chicken at knifepoint, cursing at it to "scare it into layin' something." Carl just stared at him. They ended up surprising you with a chocolate bar instead.

You became aware of a prisoner being held hostage in the prison, no one would tell you what her business was being around in the first place, so you decided to speak to her yourself. Michonne explained Woodbury to you, about the Governer and what he would do if he knew the prison existed. But the information that shocked you the most was of Merle's survival.

You knew that if faced with his brother again, Daryl wouldn't know what to do with himself and he'd end up losing all the progress he'd made in the group. You had to look out for him just as he looked out for you. You had to kill Merle before Daryl even caught a whiff of his living existence.

Everytime I hear tears of the kingdom being referred to as "the best" Zelda game or smth like "it's truly the legend of zelda" I get one mile closer

#like. it had its moments. the music and the scenery and the designs were great.#but ultimately it just. it just wasnt that good. the plot was kinda eh and there was a bunch of stuff that was... questionable #and i know nintendo doesnt actually care about the timeline but they REALLY went for the throat #it was just. mediocre. ok. the little good there was (mostly the draconification) outbalanced by the bad #seriously if you want a good zelda game there are tons. skyward sword. oot and mm. twilight princess.#i havent played enough of the 2d to say anything but if you just like open world there's botw! which is like totk but better!#mb's two am rambling #totk

does Tallstar’s SE (or Tallstar in general) have any changes? Hes always been my favourite character

For Tallstar's Revenge, there's a ton of building blocks I want to keep.

(WIP Title: Tallstar's Collapse)

The story is that Heatherstar, a few years ago, started a campaign against ShadowClan for control of the Mothermouth Moorland (ShadowClan probably calls it the Mothermouth Marshland). It's a floodplain just above the carrionplace and to the east of the Moor. This war is in its early stages, but quickly escalating.

To win this, she's focusing on training more Runners. Tunneling is a defensive activity. It helps you catch more food, it makes shelters from storms, it produces the best clay that any Clan has access to. And it's not useful for conquest.

So she's killing it, slowly. Into this world, Tallkit is born.

Sandgorse and the Tunnelers, like canon, realize that Heatherstar is trying to end their ancient tradition. The more they fight her, the more justification she has for denying them apprentices. I have some sympathy for Sandgorse I intend to portray here. He's still wrong for how he treats his son, but without a young tunneller, generations of knowledge will be lost.

But Tallkit CAN'T be their savior. He's a Runner, he hates tunnels, he has no mind for types of soil or a sense of depth. Heatherstar is right behind him to encourage

So between all this, Palebird's postpartem depression, Sandgorse's disappointment, Heatherstar's pressure, and the escalating war, Tall feels suffocated. I'm planning for Jake to be one of those traveling cats, from the original book.

(Also Jake is not Firestar's father, not in a way that matters. They do not look very similar either. Chelford cats don't have a concept of fatherhood and I don't appreciate canon's implication that Jake had special Main Character Genes and Tallstar immediately liked him because he saw his ex in him :/)

Jake offers him an adventure and freedom. I don't care much for the revenge-setup of the original book honestly. If I can find something else for them to look for together, I'd prefer that-- but the point of this journey is for Talltail to experience freedom for the first time in his life.

He meets old BloodClan, he rests a week as a kittypet, he explores the farms beyond the Clans and sees how the cats live. Talltail considers what the world has to offer and where Jake can bring him, as both a lover and as a symbol of freedom.

But in the end, he misses his family, and he misses WindClan.

Talltail decides that he wants to return to the Clans. He chooses this over the life he could have had with Jake, believing that his family needs him and that this is truly where he belongs. He believes he can make it better., and in some ways he can.

But, long after this SE ends, we see that power acts through leaders just as much as they can act through power.

Anyway, that's the WIP.

#Definitely one of my reduxes that hasn't 'clicked' yet #It's a good moment for my rewrite timeline wise #But at the same time it's not grabbing me yet.#Tallstar's SE is like... good. It has a lot of issues with the relationship payoffs #Mainly with Shrewclaw and Sandgorse #Though Palebird could also use some touching up #But like #As it is it's pretty solid #And unlike Bluestar's SE which I love BUT had a great idea for with the forget-me-nots #I haven't found anything like that which is sucking me into Tallstar's Collapse #Tallstar's Collapse #Honestly Jake and Tallstar is like... fine to me #Bonefall Rewrite #Not my favorite ship but I understand Why people like it #But for my own taste they're just not fucked up enough #I like it when two deeply unhinged little gremlins happen next to each other

Hello, happy patches’ birthday, and @dreblrtine-gift-exchange ! To @youreanidiom !! :D Your prompt was Actors AU, on a film set, with an angsty scene and then them being friends! So here’s the Dteam after the prison break arc, meeting up for the first time in a while! And then, after the director called cut and stopped filming, the three of them hanging out, being friends and happy! :)

I hope that you like it, and that you have a good day!!

Hey pasta, just wanted to double check since you mentioned it in the past: are we able to self print TRT? If so, what chapters would be considered their own books?

I'm absolutely fine with you self-printing for your own shelf! I'd LOVE if I could have copies printed to sell at cost to everyone buuuut since that could get me in trouble with the Mouse, all I can do is give you the green light to do it yourself.

I realize these are a bit uneven BUT if I broke them up:

Chapters 1-43: Book One. This is the most solid, and this was always where I meant to 'end' Book One/TRT's first 'fic' and then begin the next book, but I decided to just keep it all in one fic for ease. After this, things get a little hazy about how I'd break it up, so you're free to choose. But I have them segmented like this: Chapters 44-73: Book Two. Maybe the shortest but I feel like there's a natural rise and fall with arcs to this particular section Chapters 74-105: Book Three. This one feels a bit neater, with a more natural endpoint/resolution than Book 2. Chapters 106-Now: <- we are here in this general area, cause I haven't quite figured out WHERE I want to put the cutoff for Book 4 quite yet.

I hope that helps!

#the red thread #ask response #book 1 is abso how i originally planned to begin and end #bookending their first meeting with their first kiss #thus completing the We Just Met to Romantic Involvement arc #Book 2's a little shaky and when I eventually print it for myself I'm going to nudge it around a little #to make it 'fit' a bit better but otherwise it works fine if you're binging #book 3 feels like a good up and down #book 4 i'm not sure yet #i'd have to go back and skim and check my arc timelines and see where a good Resolution moment comes #cause i always try to end on a Resolution of Something #(even if book 2 ended with 'false' resolution since Jane was just lying to herself but still)
