Aquaboy x Dani

After Black Manta killed Arthur Jr., the baby woke up as a ghost in the Ghost Zone. Where the toddler was found and raised by the ghosts, it was something very new!

Years later, Arthur heard about the new ghost child in the zone and met Ellie Phantom.

Dani had no idea about the new ghost child, who was her age!! She and her new friend spend much time together! She can't wait to tell Danny about it! She told Val very much about it! Well, that was how Danny learned about it too.

Before Dani knew about it, people thought she was dating her friend! And after a talk with Jazz, she noticed... She really had been dating Arthur!

After a short time,.

Well, Arthur told her he wants to go on a date on Earth and not Amity Park. With all the metas and so on, it wouldn't even be truly noticed. As Arthur is like Phantom or Ember as Ghost and not the rest looking very humans.

He had been right; they weren't really noticed; even if few people looked shocked as Arthur showed her his water control.

+ For Aquaboy look I like OttertheAuthor Aquaboy look.

this is so deeply unhinged what is going onnnnnnnnn

Aquadad

Based off @phand0mfic s idea of Aquaman adopting Danny

So the big reveal has just happened and it did no GO WELL. Danny ends up on a table with his chest open and the only reason he is able to escape is because Jazz manages to distract their parents. Danny is literally holding himself closed as he dives into the ghost zone, normally this would be the end of it. The zone start mending the wound immediately as he’s slowly flying making his way to the far frozen when he here’s the sound of the specter speeder hot on his trail. He starts flying as fast as he can but he’s getting weak. The zone can sense that he’s in impending danger and opens a portal near him, he dives in transforming as he falls through.

He lands in the Atlantean throne room, human, Vulnerable and scared. He can barely see so when a large Orange blob approaches him Danny freaks out begging him to stop, that he’s sorry, please just don’t hurt him before passing out

King Orin was in a meeting with several council members when the teen appeared at first they were worried it was an attack until they realizes it was a kid. Aquaman approaches the kid who then has a full blown panic attack, begging him not to hurt him and not hearing as he tries to calm him down. He sends everyone out of the room. And cautiously approaches the kids. Who’s pleading with him. Orin nearly stops breathing when he says, “please don’t hurt me, I’m still your son I swear, dad please” seconds later the child is unconscious. Orin goes to see where he is hurt, he removes the white bloodstained shirt and sees RED when he recognizes the barely sealed y shape incision. He rushes the kid to the medical wing, king or not they refuse to let him stay and he demands that they alert him the moment he is out of surgery.

King Orin goes to his wife and explains what happened. She looks him dead in the eye and says what ever you decide I am at your side no matter what. Orin decides there is no way he’s sending this kid back to the monsters that did this to him, that should the child agree he will name him his son. Mera fully agrees, they both understand that Atlantis would not agree with a surface dweller as an heir. So Mera give Orin a LOOK and says well then I’ll e should probably get to work making him a sibling.

The next day Danny wakes up with King Orin at his bedside, he asks if he knows where he is, how he’s doing, what’s his name, Danny introduces himself explains he does not know where he is and lies that he doesn’t know how he got here. Orin eventually breaches the topic of him adopting Danny and he’s in shock, like why me I’m nothing special. Orins like you don’t need to be. Danny accepts.

Danny doesn’t tell anyone about being a half ghost, aquaman just thinks that his new son is a meta with ice powers, because he sneaks away to practice. Neither parent brings it up, worried that this might be why his other parents attacked him. Mera just puts books on Atlantean magic in his room so he can practice with magic with actual guidance, and waits for him to come to her. Mera also does a spell that alters Danny’s lungs so he can breathe underwater and withstand the water pressure. Danny does not like Orm. He doesn’t directly say anything but he gives him serious Vlad vibes so he tries to avoid him.

Danny is actually not in Atlantis when the ocean master attacks, he was in another city hanging out with a friend when he heard about the attack. He rushed home only to find the fight was over. He tackles his parents the moment they are “alone” (Kaldur and Garth are there) and says that he doesn’t know what he’d do if anything happened to them. And if his eyes looked green when he said that it was probably just a trick of the light. He thanks Kaldur and Garth for helping his dad (who is now tearing up because he just called him dad) both of whom say it was an honor. Aquaman gives them the options of continuing their studying or training under him. They each choose. And things are normal except Danny and Kaldur hang out anytime he’s not training, Danny has a crush on Kaldur and Kaldur is absolutely smitten. Aquaman isn’t sure if he wants to encourage the two or (murder) scare Kaldur away from Danny. The dad instinct is strong in this one. Kaldur joins the young justice team and Danny is all for it. Just like in the series kaldur returns to Atlantis but this time it’s to confess to Danny and he states his intentions to his king. Never before has Kaldur has so fear his kind as when he told him what would happen if anything happened to his son. Mera just smiled…it was terrifying. Mera announces her pregnancy and Danny absolutely glows (definitely a trick of the light, totally) and talks about how excited he is. When the attack occurs Danny refuses to leave meras side and to everyone’s surprise he viciously took down a manta goon that got too close with (ghost) Atlantean magic Mera just smiles and says you’ve improved very proudly.

This is getting really long but Kaldur confesses to Danny who tells Kaldur I’m not who you think I am I have a lot of secrets that I’m not ready to share and Kaldur takes his hand and holds his face and says then you do not need to, you can tell me whenever you’re ready . They kiss and have a moment. Kaldur tells Danny his plans to stay in Atlantis so he could be closer to him and Danny vetos that and says he is more than capable of visiting him on the surface, thank you very much. Fast forward ocean master attacks and nearly causes Mera and to lose the baby and this is not okay. Danny follow when Mera was taken because he may or may not have marked her with his ectosigneture to make sure his could protect her. When he sees the ocean master sucking the life force out of his mom and unborn brother he sees GREEN he transforms and tear the area apart, the only reason ocean master escaped with his life is because Danny was worried about the baby and his mom. He meets up with the young justice team and leaves Mera in their care before fleeing to the ghost zone Terrified of their reaction. Eventually danny returns in his human form to find his worried parents who hold him and listen as he explains everything and they just ACCEPT it and danny is overjoyed. He also casually asks his dad if he could get some help learning diplomacy because apparently he’s the new ghost king. Aquaman laughs and says of course you are and they arrange for him to have tutors. Aqualad still goes undercover but Danny knows what’s up and uses that time to study..

Okay I’m gonna stop here or else I won’t stop enjoy!!

Round Two - Aquamancy (water) 8/8

propaganda under the cut (beware of potential spoilers!!)

Katara:

Taught herself water bending because there was no one to teach her. When she finally got to the northern water tribe and did find a teacher and he said he wouldn’t teach her, she challenged him to a fight! While he did end up teaching her, she taught herself 90% of it and became a master at 14. She also learned to blood bend!

Aquaman:

No propaganda :(

Diana and Arthur

The oldest friends in the League, these two were buddies before Bruce was even a twinkle in his dad’s eye. What began as a purely diplomatic relationship bloomed into an inseparable bond over a shared love of adventure and penchant for playing diplomat hooky.

They’re sailors, adventurers, and the only ones who understand each other’s references half the time. They’re party animals, they can drink you under the table and peel back some floorboards to keep going.

They have big emotions and wear them on their sleeves. They’re very direct in how they speak and think, not simple-minded, but their age and experience allows them to cut the fat and easily start (sometimes uncomfortably) deep and personal conversations.

They’re the resident elders, even if Diana still feels like a young woman, and Arthur enjoys playing the overgrown toddler.

Their big strengths are history and long conversations, and are both far and away the chattiest and most extroverted in the League.

Although suspicious of her at first, Diana and Mera grew to be friends - the Atlantean queen ended up relying on Diana to keep her foolhardy husband out of trouble

Arthur only infrequently ventures to the surface, but when he does he usually has Diana playing tour guide.

They’ve both been major actors in wars that determined the fate of nations, and often feel they may have taken on a burden they were not ready for in so boldly crossing the sea in search of a foreign land. They both were met with hostility upon arrival, and their very presence changed the fabric of the societies they inserted themselves in, for better or for worse.

They both know a thing or three about magic.

DC characters - Aquaman

Sorry ran out of options so no "I haven't read this comic" sweeps, just will have to wait one week to see results :P

The Adventures of Superman #442 (1988) by John Byrne & Jerry Ordway

Ok to any Garth fans out there I have a few questions: What is his relationship to Aquaman? Are they father and son or just mentor and mentee? Does he just like not have a last name?? What’s the deal with his actual parents? What would you say are his biggest traumas/most life changing events that have happened to him? What are his trauma responses would you say (fight, flight, freeze?)? What is his relation with the titans? What’s his development as a character or his most important ones at least? His relationship to Meta? At his core who is Garth? What would be good characterization? In heroes of crisis he’s shown passed out in a bar would you say that he’s suffered alcoholism? What would you say is his timeline? What is bad characterization? What are some must reads for him? Who are the closest people to him? What are your pet peeves when it comes to people writing him? What’s his origin story? Does he feel guilty over any lives lost near him? What is his relation to his aliases? Does he like that his first alias is a mantle? Did he want to leave his first Alia’s behind quickly?

And for Roy Harper fans: Does he see Oliver as a dad or not? How would you define his relation to Oliver in general and in certain areas of his timeline? What is his timeline? What’s his relation to Cheshire? His relation to Connor and Dinah etc.? What’s been happening with Lian in comics recently (her death or memory loss or something??) and do fans of him like it? What comics would you say are must reads (what comics do you think aren’t must reads also but are just fun and are good characterization)? What’s his relationship to the titans? What’s his current alias and what Alia’s do fans hate most? What is good characterization? What is bad characterization? At his core who is Roy Harper?what’s his origin? What’s his character development? What do you think pushed him into his addiction if there was something that pushed him? What emotion defines him (stress, guilt, protectiveness, etc.)? What’s his relation with the titans? What are your pet peeves when someone writes him? What parts of his story do you think we’re done wrong? What was done right? What is his relation to his aliases? Does he like that his first alias is a mantle? Did he want to leave his first Alia’s behind quickly?

Who's Who In The DC Universe #1: Aqualad, Aquagirl, & Aquaman

Aqualad & Aquagirl by George Perez

Garth belonged to a group of Atlanteans called the Idylists – a society of pacifists who lived in an underwater valley far from the city of their birth.

The Idylists were ruled by King Thar and Queen Berra. Everything was great until Thar went insane, assembled a military force, and attempted to conquer Atlantis.

The Idylists revolted, killed Thar, and banished a pregnant Berra. How was this poor Berra’s fault.

Berra gave birth to Garth, who suffered a bizarre mutation known only to Atlanteans – purple eyes. Garth was exiled from Atlantis as his purple eyes made him inferior.

Little is known of Garth’s early life until he was found by Aquaman, who became Garth’s friend and mentor.

Garth became a founding member of the Teen Titans and soon met Tula (Aquagirl) who he fell in love with.

Tula was orphaned at birth but found her way into the royal family of Atlantis. She was schooled in Atlantean ways and remained secluded in the Royal family.

Tula met Garth, fell in love, and occasionally joined Garth on a Teen Titans mission.

Atlantis was briefly ruled by Narkran while Aquaman searched for a missing Mera. Tula led a rebellion against the dictator.

I’ve always loved Garth. Quiet, shy, gentle. And his Silver Age catchphrases are hilarious. This entry is pre-Crisis so Garth hasn’t received his power-up yet but said power-up shoots Garth up into the upper levels of the Titans when it comes to sheer power. Garth remains a member of the Titans and makes recurring appearances in the various Aquaman titles. Garth has made appearances in the Teen Titans and Young Justice cartoons.

Tula didn’t have many appearances but managed to be stuffed into a fridge – twice! Tula died in the Crisis of Infinite Earths. She was among the hundreds of deaths in the first Crisis but the only after-effect of her death was Garth’s intense mourning. Tula made appearances in the Young Justice cartoon and video game where she was fridged once more to cause Garth and Khaldur serious man pain. I’m not sure if Tula has made an appearance in the post-Crisis ere (possibly in Blackest Night?) but if she does return to the comic book world we will need to set up a prayer circle to prevent a third trip to the fridge.

Aquaman by Chuck Patton & Dick Giordano

Tom Curry, professional lightkeeper, rescued a woman named Atlanna from a hurricane.

The duo fell in love and Atlanna gave birth to a boy named Arthur.

As a child, Arthur discovered he could breathe underwater and communicate with sealife.

Atlanna died when Arthur was six years old. On her deathbed, Atlanna told Arthur she was an outcast from Atlantis.

Several years later, Tom passed away and Arthur became an orphan of the deep.

In his early 20s, Arthur, now called Aquaman, met Garth aka Aqualad.

Atlantis called upon Aquaman to help them defeat an alien invasion and later named Arthur their ambassador to the surface world.

Aquaman would marry Mera, the queen of an interdimensional water world.

King Juvor died and Arthur was proclaimed King Of Atlantis.

Mera gave birth to Arthur Jr, who exhibited her ability to manipulate water.

The Shark deposed Arthur and forced the family to relocate. Aquaman defeated the Shark and was offered the Atlantean throne but he turned it down.

Black Manta killed Arthur Jr.

After his son’s death, Arthur and Mera moved to New Venice, a submerged East Coast city.

Even those with limited comic book knowledge know of Aquaman. Namor the Sub-Mariner was the first Atlantean hybrid hero as he predates Aquaman by a few years but Aquaman is more well-known among non-comic book fans.

Arthur is the first hero to have their child murdered. If the death of Gwen Stacy was the end of the Silver Age at Marvel then Arthur Jr.’s death signalled the end at DC.

Arthur would receive revisions to his origin and powers in the post-Crisis era. Arthur and Mera would have many ups and downs in the post-Crisis era but are back to being a powerhouse couple.

Aquaman has had multiple solo titles and was a founding member of the Justice League. He has featured heavily in the various eras of the League – Silver Age, Detroit, Morrison, etc. He has had two solo live action films, appeared in the Justice League live action film, and made numerous appearances in DC’s animated series: Superfriends, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice, Superman: The Animated Series, and the various animated Justice League movies. He also featured in an early Cartoon Network Adult Swim tv ad: Aquaman would wander into a random area, say “oh yeah”, and start dancing.

You know, I’ve drawn him a few times at this point, but I don’t think I’ve ever really outlined what Arthur’s headverse characterization is like, and the short version is that he’s simultaneously King Arthur and a sea monster in the shape of a person. 

Arthur’s mother Atlanna was on Diana’s proto-League that fought Starro in the era between the Society and the Modern Age of Heroes, Arthur being roughly Clark’s age (introduced via Lori Lemaris, natch) and joining the proper “founders” later alongside Dinah, Barry, John, Shayera, J’onn, Vic, and Diana herself.

[His intelligent hydro-prosthetic was constructed for him by his partner Mera]
