ayyy im back with another Unedited human au snippet <3 it's almost entirely dialogue oopsies <3

~

Eddie slows in putting his coat on - Barnaby isn’t sticking around to chat with fellow staff like usual. He’s in a rush, scrambling to grab his jacket and hurrying from behind the bar. He dashes through the door, looking like a man on a mission.

The door Mr. Frankly had just vanished through.

Could he be…? No, Barnaby seems like a good man. But he had seemed a little pushy with Mr. Frankly, from what Eddie could tell.

It couldn’t hurt to make sure.

Eddie frowns deeply as he goes outside, wincing slightly at the first burst of cold air after hours spent in a warm building. He’s just in time to see Barnaby jog up behind Frankly and close his car door before he can get in. Barnaby immediately leans against the door with his arms crossed, pinning it shut and blocking Frankly from the driver’s seat.

Eddie’s stomach plummets. Before he knows it, he’s speed-walking across the parking lot towards them, a fire burning in his chest and his hands curled into fists.

Frankly says something loud enough that Eddie can almost hear, his voice echoing in the empty lot. As Eddie watches, Barnaby pokes Frankly’s chest, making him stagger back a step.

“Hey!” Eddie barks.

Both of them jump and whip around - Barnaby’s eyebrows shoot into his hair, while Frankly’s lowers into a flat line.

“Eddie?” Barnaby says.

At the same time, Frankly says, “Mr. Dear?”

The two of them look at each other in surprise. Eddie pays the exchange no mind. He stops by Frankly, trying to slightly angle himself in front of him without making it too obvious.

“Is everything all right here?” he asks, looking Barnaby up and down. He really hopes this won’t come to blows - Eddie can throw a punch well enough, but Barnaby is an imposing figure. Eddie already knows he’d likely lose, but as long as he can buy Frankly a couple extra seconds…

“No, actually, everything is not fine,” Frankly says in a ticked-off - and strangely scolding - tone.

Barnaby, not breaking eye-contact with Frankly, counters with, “Everything’s peachy, Ed.”

“You sure about that?” Eddie asks, trying to keep his tone amicable.

“Scout’s honor.”

“Please,” Frankly scoffs, “you were never a boy scout. And that’s not the point - I am trying to get home!”

“You are trying to die in the most avoidable way possible.”

Eddie shoots Frankly a concerned look. “You’re what?”

“I am perfectly sober,” Frankly says.

Barnaby raises an unimpressed eyebrow. “Your face is flushed.”

“It is not!”

Eddie winces. “It, uh, it is. A little.”

“It’s none of your business,” Frankly seethes.

“Listen,” Barnaby sighs. He leans heavier against the car and rubs the back of his neck. “I don’t wanna be the one 'ta call Julie and deliver the news that her beloved Frankie went and got himself killed at the taco bell intersection.”

Frankly makes a high and derisive noise. “Excuse you, I have class. I’d die outside of Howdy’s.”

“Please, he’d turn your memorial into part of the gift shop. I can already see the signs - ‘dead friend sale, five percent off!’”

“I’m worth at least thirty percent.”

Eddie clears his throat and gestures between the two of them. “You two… know each other?”

“Unfortunately,” Frankly mutters.

Barnaby grins. “Aw, you’re just saying that. It’s okay - I know ya love me, Frankie. You don’t have to say it.”

“I do not.”

“I have evidence that proves otherwise.”

Frankly rolls his eyes. “You’re unbearable.”

“And yet…”

Eddie heaves a sigh - of relief or exhaustion, he’s not sure - and drags a hand over his face. “Alright. Good, I - good to know.”

“What, did’ja think I was attacking him?” After a moment of prolonged, awkward silence, Barnaby’s teasing smile drops. “Oh. You did.”

“Barnaby? Attack me?” Frankly snorts. “Give him some credit - he’s smarter than he looks.”

“Yeah, I’d have better chances taking on a pack’a hyenas!” Barnaby lets out a hearty cackle. “At least then we’d all get a laugh out of it!”

“So I misjudged the situation pretty terribly,” Eddie says, inching to the side to give Frankly his personal space back. “My apologies.”

“Don’t sweat it, Ed. I know Frank may look like a bundle of sticks, but he’s petrified wood all the way through! Pure stone, you know.” Barnaby grins and leans towards Eddie. He whispers conspiratorially, “‘Cept when it comes to holdin’ his liquor. Then he’s a total lightweight.”

“Barnaby,” Frankly hisses.

“Practically paper!”

“That’s enough, thank you!” Frankly makes an attempt at shoving Barnaby away from the car door, but Barnaby widens his stance. It’s like watching someone try to move a tree.

“See, this is how I know he shouldn’t be driving,” Barnaby says conversationally to Eddie. “If he were sober, I’d be the one drunk - punch-drunk, that is.”

Eddie isn’t sure whether or not he should laugh - was that a joke? Barnaby seems fond of them, but… surely Frankly isn’t a violent person. Frankly lets out a growl of frustration and clumsily tries to bodyslam Barnaby. Eddie inches back a step.

“Alright Frankie, you had your fun.” Barnaby scruffs Frankly like a misbehaving cat and holds him at arm's length. He holds out a hand. “C’mon. Keys.”

“Never.”

“Have it your way. I’ll go ahead and call Poppy, tell her that you’ve forgotten the many dangers of-”

“Oh, fine,” Frankly spits. He yanks his keys out of his pocket and slaps them into Barnaby’s waiting hand.

Barnaby flicks the keys as Frankly stalks to the passenger side door and yanks it open. “Choose a place for dinner, we’ll swing by and pick it up - my treat.”

“Obviously your treat,” Frankly grumbles. “As if I’d-”

The slam of his door cuts off whatever he says next, though Eddie can see him still talking in the car. His phone screen illuminates his irritated expression as he - presumably - looks up places for takeout.

“Well, I’m glad you were here to stop him from doin’ somethin’ everyone would regret,” Eddie says. “Mr. Frankly-”

“Mr. Frankly?” Barnaby snorts. “You’re not one of his students, are ya?”

“I’m just bein’ polite. He set the tone by referrin’ to me by Mr. Dear, so I’m tryin’ to respect that line in the sand.”

Barnaby shakes his head, grinning. “Just call him Frank. He puts up a big show of bein' a grouch, but he’s really a big softie. Though don’t - don’t try to pick a fight with him. Ever. You’ll lose.”

“Wasn’t plannin' on it.” Eddie makes a mental note to keep calling him Mr. Frankly, just to be on the safe side. It’s not like they’re friends, anyway. More like… acquaintances. Occasional Run-Into-Each-Other strangers.

#shorter than usual - only a little over 1k - but yk the motivation provides what it provides #in my docs this is titled 'aw... babe's first protective attempt'#or i guess we could call it #eddie's past parasocial relationships come back to haunt him more than they already have #also barnaby definitely teased frank about eddie in whatever place they're picking up food from #lmaoooo no wait #barnaby: so about eddie-#frank: so about howdy.#barnaby: .....#frank: .....#barnaby: hey i think that's our order #wh modern human au #snippets from the bog #in my mind frank is actually kinda pleased #annoyed of course. he doesnt need anyone to protect him #but i bet a part of him enjoyed having the strong mailman attempt to ~come to his rescue~#i imagine that the next time they see each other frank invites him to lunch or somethin #'just' to 'thank' eddie for trying his best #yep alright yawn yawn yawn its almost 3 i should sleep #tomorrow is one of two final days to complete packing! its almost Time!#tonight was decent... got some tasty tacos... listened to somethin neat... did a bit of writing... yeah <3

every time theo ends up saving liam’s life it’s by pulling him to safety from behind… something to be said about liam silently trusting theo enough to give him his back (and theo’s unspoken willingness to have it even at the expense of his own safety).

#you can have my back any day. or you know. you could have mine.#something something you can be my wingman anytime bullshit you could be mine #sorry but ‘ive got your six’/battle boyfriends/girlfriends is one of my fav dynamics #i have one ship type at the end of the day….#im not dying for you. im not dying for you either. but i will fight with you. lets fight.#guys… that was their mid fight oath to each other….#theo in memory found: wraps his arms around liam from behind to drag him into the elevator away from the riders #theo in triggers: standing behind liam. pulls him to the side by his arm to keep him away from nolan and figure out whats wrong #theo in werewolves of london: walks up behind liam in the locker room and keeps him from killing gabe/doing something else he might regret #(side note the shot of their faces beside each other in the mirror is sooooo symbolic of theo being liam’s voice of reason in a lot of 6b)#theo in wolves of war: tackles liam from behind to keep the hunters from shooting him #ALSO theo in wolves of war: positions himself between the hunters and liam as they’re both running away so he can push him ahead/shield him #taking damage he probably could have avoided had he just ducked #LIKE. yeah. theo will probably never admit it but he is so protective in his own convoluted emotionally repressed way #and liam lets him do it also in his own convoluted emotionally repressed way bc he doesn’t HAVE to give theo his back or the room to be the #one that comes to his rescue #they are partners !#:( my sons i miss them #thiam #theo raeken x liam dunbar #theo x liam #theo raeken/liam dunbar #theo/liam #teen wolf

I said i maybe would do Barbara...

So i did-

Here she is <3

I needed to change her hair like 3 times because her head looked too big but now she is fine... i hope-

Also a few explanations:

• She ofc is part of the healing coven and a future Doctor in training. I did a student outfit and a Doctor outfit as well because of thought it would be cool to have both.

• She got a Snake palisman with wings since the snake is also a symbol of healing (The Rod of Asclepius). My other Idea was either a fox because she is very sly and looked like her or a bird because why not-

• She is one of the top Students and her and Walter befriend each other as she needed help for a history test and ofc she liked him. In this au she knows that he is a changeling and it's more about to make him more comfortable in his troll form because he has *insecuritys*.

• She also loves being with the magic Creatures and helps them if they arw injured. She made her palisman herself and ot took her almost a month to figure out what she should make as her palisman.

(If the quality is bad then i am sorry, i made it on procreate and i don’t know how to really get on my phone sooo... I am sorry- XD)

(I know that the healing coven is actually darker but i made the uniform a bit differentfrom the show so that it fits with walts change-)

#barbara lake #stricklake #trollhunters #toa trollhunters #toa strickler #the owl house #Snakes are cool #Maybe i will draw a ship art of them but if i do it will either be veeeeeeery late or veeeeery early...#Fun fact: Barbara still can fight and kicks Walts ass in their secret training lessons-#ohhh right... did u mentioned that they secretly train with each other? no? well #now you know-#maybe i will write a fic but probably not because i am to scared to show it #Barb and Walt also know the main cast in the show but they are older than Luz and the others #Another (spoiler for s.3) fun fact: Walt protected Barb from the collector so he will be a puppet instead of her #buuuut she rescued him even tho she can't change him back but she dosen't wanted him to be used by the collector #okay i definitely talk to much #but eyyy he dosen't used her in this au.... he still lied to her tho #I probably made a few (much) spelling mistakes because first i am very stupid and second I speak english as my second language

my current favourite internet thing is people going to watch doctor who for the first time after watching good omens and getting to doomsday and thinking watching david tennant get his heart broken after falling in love with a blonde again is the worst thing to happen and emotionally devastating and i sit there like. buddy. pal. it only gets worse. one day you’ll watch that for comfort.

#doctor who #the doctor #dw #good omens #like #the first time he meets his wife she does #and they travel the wrong way in each others timelines #he loses his family to weeping angels and can’t fix it #he dedicates his final years to protecting a planet from his own people and the universe #he lives there thinking he’ll die a good death and protecting who he can is enough #his best friend becomes so much like him he dies #he lives in groundhog day in prison for billions of years to try and rescue his best friend #and he fails anyway and loses his memories of her #she watches her whole species die AGAIN #doctor who is not a place for happiness

Uhhhhh Titanfall 2 Sun/Moon x Reader AU where Sun and Moon are a special titan and Reader is their pilot:

"Are you alright, pilot?"

"Yeah. Dandy. Um, gotta name, big guy?"

"I am SUN-2546. You may call me Sun."

"Good to meet you. Can I take you for a spin?"

"I thought you would never ask."

But then you get a surprise when darkness falls on the planet and Sun announces that Protocol: M02N-2546 is now activated, and the voice in your helmet becomes lower and a bit spooky, if you're being honest, but the new titan program seems to be working just fine, having new systems and gear set up for the nighttime scene.

"Wait, so, are you Sun?"

"You have already been informed of who I am."

"I know but... this is the same titan. Why are there two AIs?"

"You sound ungrateful."

"No. Just confused, but I'll lay off the touchy subject. Can I call you Moon?"

"If that doesn't confuse you too much."

"Oh, ha ha."

Uhhh yup

#look i never played titanfall 2 but i watched a full playthrough #i'm still not over it #i love robots and humans who will kill and die to protect each other #also picturing a scene where Y/N is falling from a massive height and screaming out for Sun who catches them at the very last moment #and also picturing a little rescue mission where Y/N is pissed that their titan got magnetically carjacked and now needs to free Moon #titanfall au #drabble i guess lol

"I have to agree 1001%! Mizuki is absolutely 1000% adorable!! I'm so glad you're already in my life!" Here comes Iris to give Mizuki a hug.

it took her so long to get used to affection . years of abuse and neglect and fear of touch; and any touch was cruel and confusing as mizuki never understood what she'd done to deserve it . . and in the same breath felt even now, maybe she had deserved it ?

but when iris shows up; all rainbows and safety , much like miss sagan . . . she remembers how iris was really the first person she trusted. her mother , hitomi , became someone she trusted. maybe . . even if her gut reaction said, you're betraying mom, by thinking . . maybe that's how a mother who loved you was.

despite that she never envied iris more than a sense of wishing she had even a little bit of it . the sagans gave it tenfold whenever they saw her. slowly defrosting the walls and ice around her heart enough that mizuki was comfortable in their home, laughing, eating dinner, even smiling . .

iris was her best friend . mizuki, still grappling with what once was said... was the girl who to iris of all people, said herself, was three universes worth. to think she'd have love like that in her life, family like that in her life . . . like . . . a big sister.

careful of her strength; and for once, not on edge, not with iris anyway, softened grey eyes meet her face with a look she probably isn't aware of. a look of familial love as she leans into her hug with a small laugh. " you sure you aren't biased ? "

it's teasing and soft for once; the twelve year old leaning into her embrace and soaking up every bit of love iris had to give. she had been living without love or basic kindness for so long. it was only right that mizuki returned it tenfold , too , right ?

she fumbles over her words.

" iris . . . you're . . i'm really happy i met you , iris. and miss sagan . i'm happy that . . . you're my best friend. and . . i'll always be there to protect you no matter what ! " it's said a bit fiercely , and with the grade schooler even at twelve, carrying strength more than groups of men three times her size . . . she could back that up. and when she got older ? she'd prove that too . all her life !

" . . . .... so . . ! i want you to rely on me , okay ? " there's a vulnerable look hidden by her face buried in iris' bright pink and white jacket. " . . . 'cause .... " we're a family or...i want to be. i want us to be family. but i'm scared to ask . i want to ask. but --

" oh , uh . never mind. i'll tell you later . . . "

maybe she'd get her courage to say it one day.

#𝐍𝐈𝐋𝐄 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄 *ೃ༄ sweet silent thought.#𝐕; 𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐅 / 𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐄: 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 *ೃ༄ a family; a future.#i'm sorry this is so long but like i have wanted to interact with mizuki's bff / big sis for so long.#i know a.ini happened but like . . i just love how much iris and mizuki mean to each other ! and i'm sad they didn't interact a lot.#to me that's her big sister and she'll always come to the rescue!#also she definitely feels hitomi is like a mom but she's scared to say that. her mom was the worst (TM) but yeah . . trauma.#also she'll protect iris from ota now she's the president of lemniscate even more :) no mercy LMAO #abuse tw #neglect tw #parental abuse tw #𝐈𝐂 *ೃ༄ braver than all flowers.#musekaiplex

literally whenever i think even for a second abt irresponsible dog owners i get so mad. i think these people deserve to be beat to death with shovels

#my neighbors have an untrained large dog that they let roam the neighborhood off leash unsupervised and that dog has #on multiple occasions blocked my family out of our own house because if we try to open the door to go inside he will push his way past us #into our house where our cats are (cats that he has actively tried to kill multiple times before)#also other animal neglect and abuse that they do like. 99% of americans should be banned from pet ownership genuinely #it makes me so so mad. and friends of mine telling stories about other peoples off leash aggressive dogs attacking their leashed dog when #going on walks and shit and literally having to keep dog mace on hand to protect their dog from other peoples untrained aggressive dogs #that they just let off leash to harass or attack anyone or anything. straight up i am killing you with hammers #and ive seen videos by people on instagram who are good dog owners that have aggressive dogs (like rescues or just naturally aggressive dog #and they do everything right. they trained the dog to have good recall always on leash in public kept away from other dogs #except for when some dumbass lets their unleashed dog run up to them and they have to use their body to shield the dogs from each other #desperately yelling at the other owner to control their dog bc the good owners LEASHED dog is aggressive #and people in the comments actually get mad like ''why are you bringing your aggressive dog in public >:(((('' when the dog is leashed #in places That Have Leash Laws. the owner did Everything right but everyones like 'maybe ur a bad owner bc ur dog is aggressive'#like as if they have never heard of rescued strays or previously abused dogs in their entire life. kill yourself !!

Absolutely sick on all the GO discourse slap a bad haircut on me and call it high school like I’m still doing superwholock

Aziraphale’s process behind falling for Metatron’s trick— is it a mistake or bc he believes in good and Crowley? like it’s not both

#cmo's log #something something the your greatest weakness and strength are the same cliche #az and Crowley worked best when they were being themselves but had faith in each other #like at the beginning of the season when Crowley is wrong #or the end of the last one where he wants to run #but he stays and fights for aziraphale bc he loves him but also bc he’s been staying and fighting his whole existence #as much as he refuses to admit it #but another cliche is az went too far somewhere he can’t follow and assumed a lot about him #just like Crowley had assumed about him #bc they’re also each other’s biggest strengths but also biggest weaknesses. Crowley always though az would figure out when disobeying was #the right thing and az always figures Crowley will do the Good thing and there was a disconnect #bc az doesn’t have all the information. neither does Crowley re: az’s beliefs but #he tried to protect az and it backfired. at some point he missed that line ‘oh I let him rescue me bc he enjoys it’ and Crowley is out there #focused on this sweet pure angel. missing he has teeth but can’t choose right when he doesn’t know all that’s wrong #i meant this to be more cohesive but I have become a feral gay child again #also I’m starting on a mimosa #good omens #good omens spoilers

Some snippets into Donnie's relationship to his brothers in the Separated AU

So after having figured out that Donnie is in fact their Long Lost Brother, the Drax Trio obviously want him back, and while Donnie is initially excited to find out that he has a bunch of siblings, he's less excited to find out that they're a bit, uh, evil. And they keep insulting April!! How dare they!!! Not to mention, he already has a dad, he doesn't need a new one! So no, Donnie isn't planning on just leaving his current family behind for this new one, and his brothers react to this in various different ways.

As much as Mikey wants Donnie back, Dr. Feelings understands that this is quite the adjustment for Donnie and that he may need some time to come to terms with the fact that he actually belongs with them and not with the humans. Mikey doesn't wanna force his brother to reunite with them, so instead he tries to convince Donnie to come home willingly through various ways. I mentioned this in an earlier post, but AU Mikey is essentially trying to give Donnie a redemption arc like Canon Mikey did with Draxum

Raph, however, sees Donnie and immedietly goes full Protective Big Brother Mode. He thinks the best course of action is to "forcefully rescue" (kidnap) him and and then convince him to stay and be apart of their family. He's can't help catastrophizing about all the way his baby brother is definitely being mistreated by Lou Jitsu and April and all the other evil humans oh NO they have to SAVE HIM!! The only reason he doesn't is because no one else in the Draxum family thinks it's a good idea

And then Leo. I'll go more into detail about Leo's character in this AU at a later dat cuz hhhhhhh but basically, he's still dealing with pretty intense Middle Child Syndrome and the LAST thing he need is another middle child joining the family! Why are all his family members so obsessed with getting Donnie back anyway? He's already clearly chosen the human side so why waste their time on him! .....Now that's not entirely the whole truth, he's kinda ecstatic when he first meets Donnie, except Donnie doesn't seem to care about them any, which... ouch.

Another way to describe their dynamic would be similar to their canon dynamic, a lot of friendly bickering.... except they don't really know each other and are also enemies here so like.... UNfriendly bickering.... which is just bickering lol. They fight a lot, is what I'm getting at.

Anyway you know the family dinner scene with Draxum in season 2 of the show? Yeah, Mikey tries that tactic here too. Like I said, Mikey wants to be patient with Donnie, but he does eventually get a bit tired of Donnie acting so hostile all the time so he starts organizing hangouts for the four of them (attendence is mandatory!)

And poor Donnie, this whole situation is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for him, as you might imagine. Reuniting with your secret lost family is fun for all of five seconds before you find out that they're actually kinda messed up uh oh. A big reason why Donnie acts so hostile towards his brothers is because it's easier for him to just dismiss them as mere enemies that he feels no attatchment to. He's basically being made to pick between this new family and his old one is Not Fun.

i don't care for drama gu xiang/cao weining but really like their relationship in the novel

#idk they made it really bland and forgettable in the drama #removed a bunch of interactions that made it fun and interesting #they fight together?he gets captured and she rescues him?#there's also this thing mentioned several times #that gu xiang has all these thoughts and feelings but because she's not 'educated' she can't express them well #and cao weining with his misquoting of poetry and just in general being awkward is also never taken seriously #but they get each other #also she literally slaughters a probably innocent man right in front of him and all he says is #i don't judge you i'm just worried for when you realise later that you killed someone innocent it might hurt you #girl? compelling #what does the drama have? him doing a cliche jump in front of her to protect her? boo #not saying the novel is better than the drama In General #both have their flaws and strong points #idk i stopped watching the drama mid way to read the novel before continuing so yeah idk maybe i'll change my mind later (tho i doubt it)#but yeah so far novel gu xiang/cao weining >>>>>>>> drama gu xiang/cao wening #feral girlie and her purse dog trophy boyfriend

Some side characters/cult members for The Rehabilitation of Death. This originally was just supposed to be some light sketches but now they're all fully lined up and colored oops

Info about all of them under the cut:

All followers were designed based off of the actaul follower forms in game. Characters in order:

Bremar 🦊 (He/Him): Boy that often gets peer pressured into doing dangerous or scary things by his friends/bullies. Good heart, not a lot of spine yet.

Finor 🐰 (She/They): Elderly follower. A devoted follower, but much too in the habit of behaving like an overbearing grandmother to those who aren’t even her kits. Comes from bearing so many in life before losing them to heretics in the wilds. Lambert found her already aged out in the forest after her husband and family were slaughtered, and she has been caring for others ever since her rescue. Stern and not a big fan of PDA, but good heart.

Cow Nurse 🐄 (No Name yet, She/Her): A nurse that works in the healing bay; takes care of the injured and sick while the lamb is gone. Stern and easily frustrated but it comes from a place of concern.

The Shrew and The Otter (No names yet) 🐁🦦 (Both She/Her): Lovers that often leave their work posts to be affectionate with each other in secret (even though everyone already knows). Eventually asks the Lamb to officiate their wedding.

Joon 😺 (Any/They/Them) (Otherwise known as 'the yellow cat' from that one COTL short): The best farmer the cult has, wasn't born until long after the bishop's defeats, and is a part of the generation that is blissfully unaware of Bishops prior tyranny. Bright but a little nervous at times, the Lamb asks them to watch over a certain 'new arrival' as their own hands are full, and Joon becomes the unaware caretaker for a certain God of Chaos.

Paazi 🐸 and her parents🦅🦇: (She/Her for Paazi, Unnamed: Eagle is He/Him, Bat is They/Them): Paazi is a orphan rescue from Anura found as young as a tadpole, later adopted by this older couple. She is the frog that fell from the cliffside and was later saved by Narinder, in which gains him her parent's appreciation.

Grekimar 🐷 (He/Him): A lumber worker who was exiled from his village in Anura, and taken in by the cult as 'all past sins are forgiven here'. Very critical of Narinder's presence, and is one spit away from dissension

Jayen 🐻 (He/Him): One of the two followers Narinder killed during his dramatic arrival to the cult grounds when Jayen was just trying to protect his leader, later resurrected by Narinder and Lambert in Chapter 2. Conflicted about Narinder's presence: grateful to be resurrected (Lamb told Jayen that Narinder helped) but still traumatized from the murder. Feels tingly in his hand and arm often. Sweet but nervous.

Tyren 🐶 (He/Him): One of the stone miners. Rescued from Darkwood. The very 'golden lab retriever' personality makes him one of the more friendlier types; this dog has a big crush on the Lamb that goes past prophet idolization.

#TROD Au #the rehabilitation of death #narilamb #cult of the lamb #cotl au #cotl oc #cotl narinder #cotl lamb #cotl leshy #cotl yellow cat #doodles

He moved there not because his parents ran him out of the house. His dad was bawling and begging him to stay while his mother spent three full days writing up different graphs to show how much safer was by nearing by so they could protect him.

(It's not like he still lived with them. Danny had moved out to his own place in amity when he was twenty-five. Moving clear across state lines wasn't much of a difference in his eyes)

He moved there, not because the ectoplasm was high. Ectoplasm is everywhere on Earth, and quite frankly, Gotham's was as polluted as its water was. It made the air spicy.

He moved there not because he was offered an amazing job or a life-changing opportunity. Danny's full-time job was writing novels. They were all based on his adventures in the Ghost Zone -with changed names of course- and were a hit online. He also had all of the Ghost King's gold.

He moved there simply because Danny wanted to.

Something about the city called to him, in a way that said "Hey this could be your home." He visited once for a Humpty Dumpty concert and fell in love with the sights, the people, and the life of Gotham.

Now some people would accuse him of being mad. Those people probably had a rebellious teenage stage where they had done crazy things like sneak out of the house, underage drink, sleeping around, or smoke something.

Danny, when he was a teenager, was fighting for his life and the lives of the ungrateful townspeople.

He didn't get to his rebellious stage. He didn't get his rush of doing something stupid because he was young and thought himself bigger than life.

So here Danny is, living his life as he pleases to make up for it.

He doesn't have to sneak out of his house since he owns it, he rather not drink or smoke (would they even affect him? His healing factor has never been tested against it) and Danny would like to be emotionally attached if he decided to sleep with someone.

What then does a man with too much time, too much power, and not enough bad young person decisions do?

He flirts with Death.

Death just so happens to be Batman-shaped.

Now it's all fun and games. He knows he doesn't have a real chance with Batman- it's Batman. Way out of Danny's league.- but that doesn't mean he can allow himself to fall into stupid situations and be dramatically rescued by the crime fighter.

Now if only his kids weren't so good at their jobs.

"You really should be more careful, Mr. Fenton. This is the third time this week" Nightwing says while untieing him. Danny does his best not to pout at the other. He had been having fun finding the answers to the riddles.

He wasn't at all worried about the fact he was placed over a pool of burning chemicals. He had been tried to a chair that was carefully balanced on overlapping ropes. It wire would snap with each correct answer, until he would fall his demise unless they could outsmart the Riddler.

Danny had gotten five out of ten correct before Nightwing burst through the ceiling.

"I don't mind," Danny says rubbing his wrists. "Better me than someone innocent."

Nightwing's lips purse "You are innocent."

"Yes, but I hardly matter in the grand scheme of things." Danny waves his hand missing the look of distress on the hero's face. He looks around the darkness of the ceiling hoping to spot a certain crouching figure.

"Is Tall Dark and Daddy here with you?" He asks Nightwing when he fails to see him.

"Please don't call him that."

Danny shrugs, suppressing his smile. He twirls back around to Nightwing pulling out a piece of paper from his jean's pocket. "By the way, I found the other victims, hid them in the cellar, and drew a of map of Riddle's bombs for you. You're welcome."

Nightwing stares before carefully taking the map. He taps his ear twice, muttering in a code- for that may be English but sounded like gibberish that it can not be anything else but code- and only after he hears a voice respond back does the hero give a strained smile. "Thank you, Mr. Fenton. This helps a lot."

"You're welcome!" He repeats with a bright smile. It's so odd for his efforts to be appreciated. Odd but nice.

Danny waits for the other to do his Bat-trained disappearing act- sometimes he wonders if Gotham gave her Knights a form of invisibility- but the man remains.

He shuffles his feet uncomfortable and Danny's eyes light up. Oh! Another attempt to get him to stop flirting with his father. What fun~!

"Mr. Fenton.....last week Red Robin rescued you from the Joker. Do you remember?"

"Yes. Red Robin is a great kid."

"A kid....weird for you to call him that when he's only a few years younger than you." Nightwing starts but Danny holds up a hand.

"I'm older than you"

There is a tight frown on the other man's face now. "You are not."

"I am." Danny pulls out his wallet flashing his ID card. The downside to his Ghostly powers is that he seems to be aging at a slower rate- at least physically. His parents theorized that he would take two years instead of the one that his aging required. Not an accurate number but the closest they had especially since both his parents were late bloomers and had baby face.

While Danny might be thirty-eight he appeared to be no older than nineteen.

"Mr. Fenton I don't think you should be carrying a fake-"

"Stay away from my father Harlot!" Robin screeches falling down from the shadows above. He points a very sharp sword at Danny's neck, sneering the whole time. "He has better things to do than rescue a love-struck worthless fool!"

Danny, leans on the top of the sword, eyes drinking into Robin's slight flinch when it cuts his skin a little. This is it. The Rush he had been craving for.

"I don't mean to be kidnapped Robin honest. It just sort of happens in Gotham." He makes his voice and body innocent in a way even Orphan can not tell he is lying. He knows because Clockwork confirmed the last time they met that the girl read his body language just as he wanted her to.

The two ghosts met up regularly to watch his overly "sweet" eyes fluttering and cheerful "Oh Batman you rescued me~!" performances together for a good laugh.

"You lie! You plan for this to happen to try and seduce my Father!"

Huh. The kid was smarter then his foul mouth and snobby behavior looked. Still Danny only had to twist his face into confusion for Nightwing to step in. The other vigilantes pulled the scowling child away, scolding him for harassing frightened civilians.

It was fun to see but nothing beat making polite come-ons to Batman- nothing gross like catcalling but more of overly thankful and dreamy sighs. Maybe he should see what Two-face is up to?

Surely the man would take him hostage and Batman's many children would be too busy to save him thus leading the Dark Knight himself to come to his aid.

Or in a world where Danny Fenton decides that it would be hilarious if he took on a Brucie Wayne persona in Gotham. Complete with a Heart-eyes-it's-beefy-Batman mentality that tricks the Batfam into thinking he is a Himbo who has bad luck for always getting caught up in villain schemes for being at the wrong place and wrong time.

Also, the Bat kids make it their life goal to keep Bruce from rescuing Danny since they do not like watching Fenton flirt with their dad. Even if Bruce himself ignores the boy they can't really threaten him.

Danny Fenton isn't being malicious or anything. He's just a boy with a crush who doesn't know better.

Clockwork is cackling, recording his favorite parts of Danny's interactions with the Bats.

Name ✨Stellar the Hedgehog✨

Age Varies based on what age I draw her, but let's say 16!

Pronouns She/Her

Basic Description The product of Project Stellar—a secret government operation aiming to perfect Project Shadow—Stellar is a genetic experiment combining the DNA of the Ultimate Life Form and the fastest thing alive. Designed to be a living weapon, Stellar was born in a hidden facility where she would have been raised to be an unstoppable weapon for the military. Thankfully, Shadow the Hedgehog (with help from Rouge the Bat) discovered her existence, destroyed the lab, and rescued her as an infant. Shadow then went on to begrudgingly inform his long-time rival, Sonic the Hedgehog, of their newfound child, seeing as she was technically just as much Sonic's problem as she was Shadow's. From there, the duo (along with help from their friends) raised Stellar as their daughter, sheltering her from the knowledge she was created to be a force of destruction for her masters. Along the way, Sonic and Shadow found themselves truly falling for one another, dissolving the barriers they had placed between one another as rivals, finding new appreciation for each other in their new parental roles.

Stellar herself is a bright, warm-hearted person. She has a strong sense of justice and never shies away from standing up for what is right. She takes after Sonic in personality, always cracking jokes and finding it hard to sit still. Despite this, she inherited Shadow's finesse and ability to plan out her choices, not to mention his abilities to utilize chaos energy. She has a love for figure skating, ballet, and make up (thanks to Auntie Rouge!), but don't let her feminine side fool you, she is not afraid to get her hands dirty! She would love nothing more than to spend her day smashing badniks into the ground with her skates if her dads would let her! Stellar loves both of her parents dearly, but sometimes wishes that they wouldn't be so protective of her. After all, what could they possibly have to be worried about?

Extra ✨Stellar's favorite color is red. ✨Her favorite food is chili dogs. ✨She is bisexual. ✨Her favorite flower is lavender, because it reminds her of home! ✨She learned how to skate from Shadow. ✨She calls Shadow "papa" and Sonic "dad". ✨She desperately wants to make her family and friends proud. ✨Her best friend is Camellia the Cat, the daughter of Blaze and Amy. ✨She loves racing Sonic, but is frustrated he always lets her win. ✨She can be VERY impulsive when angered, much like both of her parents! ✨She is SUPER dense when it comes to romance. She has no idea ✨Camellia has been in love with her since they were little! ✨The inhibitor rings she wears keep her powers under control, but they also prevent her from truly mastering them. ✨Her powers are designed after collapsing stars/black holes. Extremely destructive to both herself and everything around her. ✨She has no awareness to the extent of the latent power inside her.
