There's an up-and-coming Tech Giant, called Fenton Works, and Batman is determined to prove that the company is a front for a villain.
Danny, after his parents turned from Ghost hunting to being the first official Ghost Anthropologists, decided to repurpose some of their weapons.
And, well, there was a contest being run by Wayne Enterprises; whoever can design a robot that will help the environment got prize money and a grant.
Danny, in all his mechanical engineering prowess, was bored. So he designed a thing. Repurposed the Fenton Guns into a cute robotic tortoise that would clean the beach.
It spiraled from there, and now Fenton Works is the leading name in green technology that's cleaning up the Earth bit by bit. Sea Dragon robots that clean oil and trash from the ocean; beach tortoises that clean the sand and beach and deposit their hoard of trash into designated receptacles that Danny uses as material to make more robots; Cryptid "stalker" robots with long legs that delicately patrol forests to perform "fuel management" and clear out the underbrush to help manage wildfires; moving gargoyle robots that sit on top of skyscrapers to help clean the air with huge sail-like wings, etc.
Basically, Danny pulls a Doctor Elisabet Sobeck, but with less world ending and more actually helping. (Not that the world ending was Elisabet's fault, of course, but different franchise)
And due to the number of times aliens try to attack and rogues send their own robots to attack people, naturally Danny installed self-defense protocols, along with one single golden rule written into the very OS of every single robot; Save Humans Whatever the Cost.
Problem is, Batman has never seen robots like this not be used for evil purposes, and he knows that their power source (a closely guarded Fenton Works secret) is some sort of liquid that glows green.
He really only knows of one liquid that glows green.
So he's determined to find everything he can about Fenton Works, because there's no way that Daniel Fenton isn't actually a villain in the making.
Danny's just thrilled for the chance to work with Wayne Enterprises.

dp x dc prompt: de-aged dani and her ghost king teen dad au
dani (or ellie here, i think that's more appropriate) destabilises again during her travels and calls danny to help. he arrives in time to save her but not in time to stop the ectoplasm in her body from changing her form back to her actual age. so danny is 17 with a 2-year-old daughter and he can't take her with him to his parents' house because she keeps randomly turning into her ghost form. it's just not safe for her. he can't stay in the zone either because people will want to challenge him for the crown of the infinite realms and he doesn't want his kid to be caught in the crossfire.
so he sabotages the portal to stop the ghost attacks - burning bridges with his parents in the process - then he, sam and tucker plan his move to gotham where he will have access to as much ectoplasm as amity and where no one will look twice at a teenage dad living alone. vlad finds out and actually helps for once, sending him money so he can do homeschooling while ellie's too young to control her powers. (he would have tried to suggest they stay with him but ellie uses her ghostly wail everytime he even tries to approach her)
he's not exactly thrilled about raising his kid in the city of crime but he at least knows he's strong enough to protect her. plus, jazz is already studying at gotham u so he's not alone. he could do without his rogue gallery visiting and offering to babysit though, how did they even get there without a portal?
danny is very stressed and the bats are not happy about unknown entities in their territory.

Being in a love triangle with Dean and Cas
Paring: Dean winchester x reader x Castile (not destile!)
Summary: headcanons about an angel and a hunter fall in love with you.
A/n: this won the newest voting thing :)
MasterList
Tumblr media
“They're both in love with her” Sam sighed.
“my money is on Dean” Bobby said drinking his beer.
Okay... So, get ready for every single thing to be a contest. they're both extremely stubborn and even the simplest of things will be turned into a competition of who can do it better, even if Cas doesn't understand.
Since Cas is clueless about most human actions, he usually tries to copy Dean but ends up doing it in a more goofy or messed up way.
Cas wasn't supposed to fall in love with you, he's your Gardian Angel and the rules in heaven are pretty strict. He couldn't help but fall in love with your compassion and goofy personality.
You and Dean had always been on and off, he deeply cares about you and would even say he loves you, but with you both being hunters he's always afraid to lose you or he thinks he's not good enough.
Cas didn't know how to handle the feeling he's never had to deal with, every time he'd see Dean put his arm on you or flirt with you, cas would feel his fist clinch and he'd get so angry.
“I don't know what's wrong with me, my chest is heaving and... I just feel so pissed” Cas said to Sam one day.
“your either jealous or...” Sam stoped. “your not in love with y/n, are you?”
Cas didn't know, but he realized his change in adatued and thoughts. As your Gardian Angel he'd would often go with you to protect you beacuse that was his job, now he would literally push Dean to the side to go on a hunt with you.
Remember when I said you and Dean would often be off and on again? Well Cass has seen two break-ups, and this would be the only time he'd put his feelings aside. He's your best friend and he dose know when you need a shoulder to cry on.
Anyway, Dean would catch on quickly, he cares about Cas but he cares about you more. So challenge accepted.
He wasn't gonna lose you to a baby in a trench coat.
Dean is often very forward and flirty, you were used to his complements and dirty jokes. But when he realized he could use you to Cas he'd turn up the flirting to 100%, which would often make you uncomfortable... You weren't used to him acting like that.
But underneath all the flirting, he's genuine and what he's saying is true.
Suprisenly Cas would become very charming. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He loves he can easily express himself around you and learn about human life without being judged.
I also think Cas is good at knowing when to pump the brakes if he ever steps a line or goes too far. Dean sometimes doesn't and sometimes he forgets that he doesn't need to use the same tactics he used to use bar girls.
If you get hurt Cas will warp his coat around you and heal you up, if it's really bad Cas and Dean will literally start arguing.
One time it got so bad you probably wouldn't still be in this damn triangle if Sam didn't take you to the hospital.
That's when they realized that they really need to put their differences aside, it wasn't just about them, it was about you too.
“she means everything to me... I want her to be happy” Dean says to Sam. “and what if she's chooses Cas?”
“she won't... Just because he's her guardian angel doesn't mean he can make her happy”
Dean was so scared to lose you while Cass just didn't know how to express himself, there been many opportunities for Cas but he'd always chicken out.
What you hated most about this whole situation is that Cas and Dean were turning on each other. You knew they were best friends and you couldn't help but think this, no girl is worth losing your best friend over.
As it went on you got more and more attention, you didn't want that. Then Sam and Bobby's secret poll only grew more bets as time went on.
Jack was so confused, he saw you as a mom and Cas as his dad. So he really just wants you two to be together. He watched the parent trap and used some of the tactics, Sam gently told him to stay out of it.
If Dean would make you a mix tape, Cas would find an even more romantic gesture. During the time you and Dean did date he learned that you were a simple girl and didn't like fancy stuff.
Cas would go to Sam or Jody for advice. Sam would suggest flowers, expensive places while Jody would remind him to just be himself and remember the stuff your actually interested in.
He's been your Gardian Angel for years, so he knows your likes and dislikes. He was so happy when he found a copy of a novel you've been surching for, he loved the feeling of you wrapping your arms around him and cheering that you finally got the book.
“thank you Cas, your the best!”
Gabriel, who liked to stir the pot in the situation was on cas' side. He would sometimes mess somthing up for one of them or just watch one of their planes fail. This was a better love story than twilight in his opinion.
One day Cas found a ring in Dean's room, it's literally not what you guys think. Dean was his mom's and he just wanted to look at it.
Cas watched enough movies with you and thought it was an engagement ring. He felt his heart pounded, he also relized he's watched way too much TV with you. He remembered watching Grey's anatomy with you, he remembered you crying with Mark Sloan died and gave his 'if you love someone' speach.
“I wish I could experience that... A guy not caring about the consequences and just expressing he loves someone” you told him way back when.
That's when he had enough, he didn't care if Dean was there or not he's was gonna tell you. “I love you y/n... I love everything about you, even things I don't understand... I still love”
He told you to think everything through. As much as he loved you, he didn't want you making any hasty decisions or let what he said cloud your mind.
A couple of days later, Dean came to you with the same heart filled love speach after a rough hunt. “I love you... I know I don't show it much or express it, but belive me when I say your the best thing that's ever happened to me”
You had so much to think about and during that time you never felt so overwhelmed, your heart would always pound when you thought about them.
You spent almost three nights just laying awake in bed thinking about them, there was logic and there was reason.
The logical choice would be Dean, you could grow old with him and have a family. After Jack, Cas was terrified to have children with a human. Just because Dean was haman didn't make it a logical choice, but you guys been through so much. There been many night you guys spent patching up wounded parts of your bodies or cleaning up blood after a hunt.
Logically, Cas would be safer. Castile can protect you and heal you with just a brush of his thumb. Just because he was clueless doesn't mean he didn't know how to make a woman's heart pound in the best way possible. Cas knew your deepest fears and kept secrets for years, he knew everything about you.
Positive reasons would bring up the way Dean would make you laugh. Or how he could make you smile no matter how mad you were.
You though about how warm his bear hugs were and how good he smelled.
Dean was a worrior and he would take a bullet for you. You were always his main priority and you never felt that with someone before him.
Even if he didn't know how to interact with humans, he knew how to take care of you. He knew when you need to talk or need a hug. He would catch on to your Quirks, like how you'll nibble on your lip when your doing research or reading.
He'd notice the little wrinks on your forehead when your mad or laughing. He'd know all your different smiles and the meanings of them.
You love whem you hug him you'd feel his wings wrap around you.
What you might not know is Cas would give up immortality for you, he'd become human if it meant spending What humans thought forever was.
“I don't know what to do Sammy” you sighed.
“stop using your brain, what dose your heart say?” he asked. “you'll know the right decision when the time comes”
The next day you took a deep breath and walked down the bunker hallway, Cas and Dean's were right across from each other. Dean's door was beaten up and had band stickers on it. Cas was newer and had 'Cas' place' carved in it.
If you chose Castile:
If you chose him, you didn't go directly to him. You knew he was the one you just didn't know how to do it. When you finally got the courage, Sam interrupted with a paranormal case.
It was hard, you got whipped around like crazy and thrown through windows, the vengeful spirit wasn't gonna let up.
The spirit through your blade at you and it went straight to the gut. You were already bleeding and weak, so this wasn't helping.
You crumbed in Castile's arms and he started to panic. He used his trench coat to applie presher to your wounds.
“Sam! Dean! Help me!”
You coughed and placed your hand on his cheek making him look at you. His watery blue eyes looked at you with so much panic.
You smiled and pulled him closer to you. “I love you Cas... So much”
“I love you too... Hold still, I got you” he placed his lips on yours while his hands healed all your cuts and bruises.
Side note... You also adopt Jack, he finally had parents and he couldn't be happier.
-a week later...
“Balls! I lost $200” Bobby grumbled, you gave the boys a questioning look.
“you beted on us?” you asked Sam, He shrugged. “hey, at least you got $600 for your honeymoon” Sam joked, you took the notebook with all the bets written down and hit him in the head.
If you chose Dean:
You knocked on his door, he when whipped it open a smile immediately formed on his face. “hey, sweetheart”
“can we talk?” you asked softly. Dean nodded as his heart pounded, he didn't know what to expect.
“if this this about what I sa-”
“I love you” you said cutting him off.
He pulled you to his chest and immediately slammed his lips on yours, he pulled away and rested his forehead on yours. “thank God... I love you too”

Find Your Way Back Home: Part One
Pairing: No Pairing (for this part)
Word Count: ~2.5k
Warnings: minor angst?
Summary: You're tired of living and not doing anything with your life. The group home you're in doesn't provide many opportunities to go out and find yourself, so when you meet Sam and Dean Winchester, you fall into the hunting life. Best thing to ever happen to you, honestly.
Author’s Note: This is the first part of six parts of the commission for @winchester-sinchester. Dean is eighteen, the reader is ten, and Sam is fourteen.

Kids climb the jungle gym savagely trying to outdo one another. Kids swing high on the swingset to the point where they might fall off and onto their asses. That's something you’d like to see. Parents are seated on the bench with phones in their hands or to their ears, calling out to their kids to get back up once they’ve fallen.
You should be having fun out there with the rest of them but you’re off to the side by yourself away from it all. You’ve always been an outcast in your group home. It’s better than being the center of attention. There is a whole forest surrounding the park, a forest that must have secrets of its own. Secrets that are begging to be found by someone like you. All the parents including your fake ones are too busy on their phones to notice what’s going on, so you sneak off towards the forest without a look back.
You’re not going to go too far since the forest is pretty big and you don’t want to get lost so you always stay far enough into where you can see the park if you were to look behind you. You take two steps to the right when you hear gunshots and bottles shattering. You veer off the path a bit until you come to a clearing where two boys are. One of them looks old enough to be in high school and the other looks like he is just starting high school.
The younger one aims the gun in his hands at the bottles before shooting, and the glass shatters everywhere. They’re far enough away from the park where the noise isn’t going to be a bother to the kids playing. This neighborhood isn’t the best anyway, so gunshots aren’t unheard of here. The younger kid shoots another bottle which prompts you to walk closer to them.
“Can I join?”
Both boys jump out of their skin when they hear you, and the older one narrows his eyes.
“Beat it, kid.”
“Let me shoot just one.”
“I’m not gonna ask again.”
“Just because I’m a kid doesn’t mean I can’t shoot a gun.”
The older kid turns to you and crosses his arms to look intimidating but it doesn’t work.
“How old are you?”
“Ten.”
“Where are your parents?”
“Dead.”
The older boy thinks for a second before nudging the younger one.
“Give her the gun, Sammy.”
Sammy hands you the gun handle first so his hand is wrapped around the barrel. You take it and step to where he once was before aiming. Years of using your fake dad’s guns are finally paying off. You hit the third, fourth, and fifth bottles with precision, shocking both boys.
“I’m impressed. Where did you learn to shoot?” the older one asks and grabs the gun from you.
“My dad who is not really my dad has a cool gun collection. He doesn’t notice when we get into them. Not like he’d care anyways.”
“Your dad who is not really your dad?”
“Yeah, my parents died when I was two or three. I’ve spent my time in a group home ever since. The mom doesn’t really stick around a lot. I think she’s only with her husband because of the money he gets from all the kids he has. The dad is cool so as long as you don’t piss him off. Like I said, he lets us use his guns for target practice so that’s cool.”
“I’m Sam,” the younger one smiles. “That’s my brother, Dean.”
“Nice to meet you, Sam. I’m Y/N.”
Dean’s phone chirps and he checks it immediately.
“Shit, we have to go.” You get kind of sad at the thought of not hanging out with them anymore. “See ya, kid.”
Sam and Dean leave the bottles where they are and leave with the gun. You have no choice but to go back to the park, your fake parents having no clue you even left. There is something about the brothers that sticks with you even after a few days have passed. You can’t wait to see them again, so when your fake parents take the kids back to the park, you run over to the same place last time.
Sam and Dean are in the same spot shooting bottles once again.
“Hi, Sam. Hi, Dean.”
“Hey, Y/N,” Sam smiles and shoots another bottle.
“Question. Why is Sam the only one shooting?”
“Sam needs the practice,” Dean answers.
“Why? Why are you shooting to begin with?”
“Because we have free will.”
“What do you want to shoot at later?”
“Do you always ask a lot of questions?” Dean asks you.
“Only when I’m curious.”
“Curiosity killed the cat.”
Despite how cagey Dean is toward you, you like being with them. They’re a lot better than the kids at the group home.
“Can I try shooting again?”
“No, Sammy needs to do this.”
“It’s Sam,” the younger brother grumbles.
“Just shoot.”
Sam gets in a few good shots before lowering his weapon.
“I’m good, Dean. I’ve been doing this for weeks.”
“Oh, you think you’re ready now, huh?” Dean looks at you who stares at him with wide eyes. He looked like he was going to continue with the threat, saw you, and backed down. “Come on, we should be leaving.”
“You just got here,” you complain.
“Kid, we have shit to do. Sammy, come on.”
Dean walks away but Sam stays where he is. He takes out the phone his dad allowed him to have for emergencies and hands it over to you.
“Put your number in. We can talk later.”
“Okay,” you smile. Dean turns back and sees this. He lets Sam have his friend and this moment. When you’re done, you hand it back to Sam. “Text me.”
“I will.”
Sam runs off with his older brother, leaving you alone. This time, you head back to the park with a smile on your face. The days after are spent with your face in your phone texting Sam. You keep asking about Dean but he doesn’t say much about him. Sam is nice and is your first real friend, and you’re not going to let someone like Dean scare you away from him.
A week later, you’re lying on your bed reading a worn-down book when your phone rings. The group home has a small library filled with books that are well out of your reading range in the opposite direction. They’re all kid books but they pass the time. You smile when you see Sam’s name pop up on the screen.
“Hi, Sam,” you answer.
“Hey, we’re outside. Wanna go to the beach?”
You scramble off the bed and look out the window to see the shiny black Impala waiting outside. With a grin, you grab your jacket and meet the brothers in the car. Sam is sitting in the backseat to give you the front while Dean is behind the wheel. His father gave him this car when he turned eighteen, a car he is in love with having.
Dean takes off to the nearest beach which isn’t far from where you’re staying. Since you’re much closer to Sam’s age than Dean’s, he lets you two have your fun in the sun while he stays back and keeps an eye on you two.
“Is he always this serious?” you ask and make a pile of sand.
“Yeah. He can be a hard-ass but he’s a good guy. He’s looked out for me my entire life.”
You look back at Dean to see him watching you with a close eye. He doesn’t want you and Sam to get close because then he’d have to break both your hearts when they up and move to the next town. John is working a demon case not far from here that has been taking a few weeks which is why they haven’t moved away yet.
When the sun got too much to bear, Dean took you and Sam to get ice cream across the street. The cold treat is a nice stark to the hot summer sun.
“So, do you guys have parents?” you ask as you eat.
“Mom died when I was a baby,” Sam answers for Dean. He knows he doesn’t like talking about Mom. “We just have a dad.”
“What does he do?”
“Something that moves us around a lot. As soon as he’s done, we won’t be here anymore,” Dean says.
He might sound harsh but he has to make you understand Sammy isn’t always going to be here. He doesn’t want to involve a kid in this life even if was forced onto him and Sam. You hear the sternness in his voice. That’s a stop-asking-questions-before-you-get-hurt stern.
You and Sam keep texting well after the beach date just because it’s nice to have a friend even if you’re four years younger than him. You’re well beyond your years, something the group home forced upon you. The kids here are worse than the parents because they’ll hurt you without a care in the world while the parents have some sort of heart when it comes to kids.
One night when you can’t sleep, you grab your phone and text Sam in hopes that he is up. He’s usually pretty quick with his responses. The past couple of weeks, he’s been answering late at night because he can’t sleep. He claims the monsters in the closet are going to get him. Ten minutes go by and you start to grow worried.
Your fake parents aren’t going to notice if you leave, so you decide to go over to where they’re staying and see if they’re okay. You pack light with only what you can carry and sneak out through the window. Luckily your bedroom is on the first floor. You take a rock and place it on the window sill to keep the window from closing and locking on you. You’d really rather not sleep outside.
The reason you are able to hang out with Sam and Dean almost every day is that they live so close to your group home. You keep to the shadows in case anyone is out at this time. You don’t want a repeat of what happened last time. You got caught and woke up your fake dad. He wasn’t happy, to say the least.
You get to the motel they’re staying in and find their room on the second floor easily. You knock three times and wait three minutes but no one comes out. You knock two more times but decide that it’s easier if you break in. Your fake parents like to keep things hidden so you’ve gotten good at picking locks.
You get into the room in two minutes but no one is inside. The beds are messy as if someone was sleeping in them recently. It doesn’t look like foul play since nothing is out of order. However, there is an entire wall of news clippings about the murders that have been happening in town.
Bodies Drained Of Blood. Vampires? Are Our Kids Safe? BEWARE MONSTERS AT WORK.
Many articles about the murders in town all point to a single kind of monster: vampires. Alongside the news articles are pages from books about vampires. Lore about vampires. What makes them tick, what makes them dead, and everything in between. Is this what Sam and Dean have been doing while in town? Is this the kind of work their dad does that causes them to move around a lot? Hunting vampires across the country?
There are vials on the desk in the back filled with some kind of blood, and you look at the notes next to it. Dead Man’s Blood. Nearly lethal to vampires. There is an address for the old Mill on the outside of town. That’s where Sam and Dean are, you bet. You grab a few vials of Dead Man’s Blood and leave the room. It takes longer to get there since you’re a ten-year-old on foot but you make it in record time.
You’ve been here a few times with your older siblings while they smoked weed and played Indie music. Even before walking inside, you can hear the screams of people coming from inside. You quickly sneak inside and follow the sounds of despair down to the basement. You haven’t seen John but assume he is somewhere here fighting off vampires.
In the basement is another vampire with a terrified Sam and Dean (more so Sam than Dean). Sam is clutching his older brother while Dean holds a machete in his hands trying to protect  Sam. They haven’t seen you yet otherwise Dean would be trying to protect you too.
“Give it up, kid. You’re not getting out of here alive.”
“I wouldn’t bet on it,” you say from behind them.
You jump onto the vampire’s back and slam the syringe of blood into his neck. The vampire grabs at you to fight you off, only managing to throw you off him. You knock into the wall with a grunt as the vampire goes down. Dean runs at him and swipes his machete into his neck.
That’s when John comes down with a bloody machete sling over his shoulder. He grins at his sons before noticing you.
“Where the hell did you come from?”
“She saved us, Dad,” Sam says.
“How did you know where to find us?”
“The news clippings on your wall. You’re very thorough.”
John doesn’t like that you’ve been inside his room and looking through his things, but he will deal with it later.
“Get to the car. I’ll meet you there,” John orders his eldest son.
Dean takes you and Sam outside while John gets rid of the bodies so that no one will know what happened there.
“So, this is what you really do? Kill monsters?”
“Yeah,” Dean sighs.
“Not sure I believed in vampires until tonight. Is that the only monster out there?”
“No. This world is filled with monsters from your worst nightmare.”
“Dean, don’t scare her.”
“She’s the one who broke into our motel room, stole from us, followed us here, and took down a vampire.”
“Is this why Sam is the only one shooting?”
“He needs the practice,” Dean says and shoves his hands into his jacket pockets.
You look around the place and think about what you’ve just gone through. That was more thrilling than anything you’ve ever done in the group home.
“Okay, I’m in.”
“Kid, go home,” Dean rolls his eyes.
“What home? I don’t have one. Do you think they care about me? They only care about the paycheck I bring in. I have to fight other kids, older kids, just for a slice of damn pizza most days. I hate it there.”
“Dean,” Sam whispers and nudges his brother.
Only Dean can make this decision. If it were up to Sam, you’d already be in the car. John might not be keen on having another kid with him if Dean says yes, but he’d come around once he sees how resourceful you can be.
“You got heart, kid. You can’t come with us but that doesn’t mean you can’t help. I’ll give you some books to read. Do your homework and maybe you can help us on the next hunt we have.”
“Deal,” you smile.

something about samtory gets me so fucking emotional because, they're just kids and they're not just kids, they're girls.
sam is the perfect girl, she's miss american pie, perfect princess of encino hills, LaRusso 2.0 who will never ever be just sam, she will always be her father's hopes and dreams, she will always be the miyagi-do heir, the eldest daughter who is supposed to fix everything. and her parents do not get her, they don't understand why she's acting the way she is, they don't understand because she will never ever let them see who she truly is because she doesn't even know it herself! she's spent so much of her life trying to fit into what was expected of her that now she's this blurry shape of a girl.
tory is the messy girl. the always acting out girl, red lipstick to seem grown-up girl, reseda trash, savior of the family, motherfatherdaughter who has to fight for every scrap of goodness she can find. she's the healer, the fighter, the villain, the damsel in distress. she's a mystery of a girl because she cannot show who she is to people, if she lets them see her underbelly they'll twist the knife in the softest part of her. if she trusts no one, no one can hurt her and if nobody knows her then she'll save herself the heartbreak. but even if she shows no vulnerability, she's unable to not be whole, she's brash and too big for her own skin and she always bites the hand that tries to feed her and there is this energy to her that is so sincere it almost hurts to watch.
and it would be so much easier for sam to be tory. it would be so much easier to be like her, to be this bold, rude girl who uses her anger as a weapon. sam cannot be angry, they won't let her, because she's a rich girl whose daddy loves her so what the fuck does she have to be angry about? she has to swallow back all of her negative feelings or else they're going to call her crazy but if she was tory, if she was so unapologetic in her anger maybe she'd be able to find herself, maybe she'd be able to work it out.
and if tory was sam, if she had the privilege, if she had the name, the money, the family, she could lay down the knife and just breathe. she could stop sharpening herself into an arrowhead and just be a kid for a moment. she could cry. she could hold someone's hand without feeling like it would kill her. she could let herself feel something else than anger and take the time to express it. she could take the risk. she could rest.
it's crazy how cobra kai seems to stumble upon great characters but never ever gives them a chance to grow to their full potential. and by that i mean that sam and tory should fight and then kiss. in that order. blood in their mouths, sweat and dirt sticking to their foreheads. two girls who hide from everybody else in one way or another but who recognize something in one another that makes them want to tear each other's throats out. and they should kiss about it.

Danny Fenton and his gas station job
This is a joke I made in the Ecto-Implosion server and had made pictures for. This is a Headcanon list for that.
Specifically made for @lavendarlily
---
Danny got the job originally because he did not want to get a job at Nasty Burger with Valerie. He needed money to pay for things, as his parents were starting to take away his allowance.
Danny doesn't actually hate working at the gas station. It's not horrible pay and not a lot happens at certain times of the day.
He can't use the trash compactor, since he isn't 18. But he enjoys doing trash. It gets him off register and his coworker can cover reg until they have to work the compactor.
He hates making coffees. They take forever and Danny simply doesn't have the attention span to remember that he had coffee running.
He forgets to pull the coffee a lot.
Danny gives out free slushies to his friends and family. He doesn't get the point of charging them, especially if he gets them.
He likes to mix banana and mountain dew flavored slushie. He did it originally to make Sam pissed, but now he genuinely likes it. He committed too hard to the bit.
He hates IDing people. The company passed a policy where you have to ID everyone and it is the bane of his existence. Everyone argues with him, even if it isn't his fault.
Danny now judges people on what cigarettes they smoke. Oh? You smoke L&M Menthol longs? What are you. 45 and divorced? Marlboro NXT? What are you, a 28 year old frat guy? Get out of here.
When Vlad caught wind of his new job, he makes a purpose to stop in and bother Danny. He orders too much and makes Danny bring out fresh everything. It makes Danny's blood boil.
But Danny got his payback when Vlad went to buy wine and his ID was expired. No wine for Vlad. Not that he'd drink gas station wine anyways, let's be honest. He bought it to piss Danny off.
Danny has arguments with people all the time, as best as he could while keeping composure.
One time a lady complained about how the cold creamer she added to her smoldering hot coffee made it slightly less hot. He had to calmly explain 10th grade chemistry to her.
Danny has had to chase off exactly 16 birds that have wondered into the store to steal food. Six. Teen. Birds.
He's also experienced bird on bird violence that ended with a cup of ranch and other stuff on the window. They held a funeral that day in the fuel shed.
Danny has never been robbed at the gas station. The movies lied and he can't tell if he's disappointed or not.
Danny is always one fussy customer away from going intangible and knocking out a tail light if someone tells him the wrong pump for gas. Just one. He'll do it.
Danny hates the uniforms, by the way. They're itchy and he can only reasonably wear long sleeves underneath during the winter.
Also, the hats are ugly. He hates them. Why does he need hats?
His coworkers are pretty cool, though. They take smoke breaks (camel crush menthols or L&M full flavor shorts) a lot. Not that he minds, but he thinks it's ironic in all honesty.
Ghosts for some reason never show up while he's at work. He wishes they did because it can get boring.
On boring days, him and his coworkers will take pickle slices and throw them at the roof to stick them up there.
There are six pickles on the roof.

I love that Sam Manson loves the holiday season
I think it makes perfect sense for a character like Sam to enjoy something that most people would expect her not to, she doesn't conform to shit, she can be a goth and still love the holidays, she can be anti-capitalist and anti-consumerism and still love the holidays
imagine Sam giving out a ton of home made gifts, and those cards that have seeds embedded in them so you can bury them in the garden, imagine Sam using entirely biodegradable decorations, even making them herself if she has to
Sam would be the most thoughtful god damn gift giver, if it isn't something she made for you personally it's something you actually genuinely needed or something you really wanted but couldn't afford
any gift shopping she has to do she definitely does it earlier in the year so as not to add to the insane pressure for retail workers, and if she does have to shop during this time she tips wicked heavy, and she definitely puts a lot of focus into small family run businesses and local artists
she 100% donates to those 'gifts for kids in need' programs (after making sure they're legit and reputable) and definitely makes a lot of local contributions to community hall events and such (especially library events)
her parents absolutely do everything in their power to encourage this behaviour because oh my god she's being pleasant and friendly for a change and yes honey you can absolutely donate to that charity! the neighbours gave ten grand to one of those fresh water pumps in one of those poor countries and we need to at LEAST double that if we want to rub it in their faces at the next gala
Sam is 100% aware her parents are using her to benefit their image but she gets to pick the charities and they'll give her as much money as she asks for so she considers it a win win
anyone who knows more about Hanukkah traditions than I do is absolutely welcome to add to this with more Jewish specific details to Sam's festive attitude, like please I'd love to see it

actually how about team phantom 👁️
"Why are we doing this?" Tucker hissed from where he was standing. "Sam has an entire movie theatre, popcorn machine included, in her basement! Even if she didn't her parents have like, all the money in the world. She can just pay for the tickets!"
"This is more fun," Sam said, voice equally quiet. "And you know I'm making a point to not use any of their money. They need to know that I can do just fine on my own."
"That doesn't mean we can't use it!" Tucker protested, gesturing from himself to where Danny was, ear pressed against the brick wall.
Danny shushed them both. "I'm trying to hear what theatre we're next to! I don't want to fly us into the wrong one!"
"You can go invisible!" Tucker said. "It doesn't matter if we go into the wrong one you can just fly us through a different wall until we find the right one!"
"Once again, this is more fun," Sam said.
Tucker groaned. "I could be a cool kid, you know that right? I don't have to be friends with you two?"
Sam snorted. "Yea, because you are so cool and charismatic and don't kiss your PDA asleep each night."
"Just because I know how to treat Janice right doesn't mean I'm not cool and charismatic! I could definitely fit in with the A-List if I wanted to. I'm just taking pity on you two."
"Well, take pity on my poor ears and be quiet for a minute so I can figure out what theatre this is!" Danny snapped.
"Hey!" A deep male voice echoed from the front of the alley, and all three teens turned their heads abruptly. The man was dressed in the uniform all of the movie theatre employees wore, and was carrying two garbage bags in each hand. "What are you kids doing down there?"
Tucker squeaked, freezing in place. Sam moved to run, but before she could getting going, Danny grabbed both of their wrists and pulled them out of view behind the dumpster on the wall. Tucker felt the cool tingling sensation of invisibility and intangibility wash over him, just before the man turned around the dumpster, garbage bags laying forgotten somewhere in the alleyway. He held his breath as the man's eyes swept over them.
"I swear I just saw..." he trailed off, glancing towards the other side of the alley. "Whatever, I'm not paid to chase after teenagers." His steps echoed back down the alley and the creaky metal door shut behind him.
The cool sensation faded away, revealing the three of them tucked next to the smelly pile of garbage.
"If you even think of telling me that that was more fun then just buying a ticket," Tucker said before any of them could talk. "I will bite you so hard, do not test me."

How will you handle the characterization of characters like Sam and Tucker? Danni?
What are some of the biggest changes to the overall story you are looking forward to exploring?
*cracks knuckles* alright here we go!
Sam and Tucker are extremely important to the series, more important than I think people tend to give them credit for, and that importance would be retained in Redux.
Tumblr media
Tucker would be more or less the same as the OG Tuck, he's still a big tech geek, still loves meat, is still simultaneously the comic relief and the voice of reason depending on the situation, etc. I mostly plan on just making a few subtle tweaks to his character to flesh him out a bit more than the show was willing to.
Now is the time to mention that Redux will take place the same year the OG show came out, 2004. So the tech that Tucker salivates over will be tech that's dated by our standards, he still uses a PDA like a cell-phone, and carries around a lot of big chunky gadgets like portable CD players and such. While he is mostly a programming guy, he will build and invent things, and will help Danny do the same. He invented Danny's goggles and co-invented the Thermos with Danny.
Tucker is the most emotionally available of the trio, he doesn't always have solutions but he's willing to hear people out, and with his weak constitution he is the least fond of fighting, tho not purely pacifistic. He is the most outgoing of the group as well, but doesn't desire popularity, he's pretty satisfied with his lot in life. He's just a pretty amicable guy and likes to talk a lot. Like in the show, he's been friends with Danny for the longest, and knows him the best.
Tumblr media
"Time to hack the mainframe..."
Tumblr media
*swats away computer*
Tumblr media
"Hello! This is the front desk, right? Sorry, I'm new and no one's told me the company password yet..."
I'd also take out his more wannabe-casanova traits, cause it's just kind of uncomfortable. I see him as more of a jughead-type, commenting on the drama and romance from the sidelines while never himself being too interested in it. He'll still joke about ladies loving him, but it'd be more tongue-in-cheek and self-aware.
Overall he tends to try to outsmart or talk his way out of situations, which can be a huge help, but also sometimes makes things worse. His smooth-talking has a 50/50 success rate.
He has a pretty good relationship with his parents, but can be kind of distant with his Dad, who is pretty overbearing and really wants Tucker to follow in his footsteps as the Mayor. It would be a running joke that Tucker is so disinterested in being the Mayor that he often times doesn't even justify his dad with a response. He will literally just leave if he can tell that that's where a conversation is going.
Tumblr media
Sam is probably the character that would be overhauled the most. The OG Sam isn't terrible, but is very obviously an attempt at a counter-cultural character by people who know nothing about counter-culture.
The biggest change I'd make is that she no longer comes from old money. I get what the OG show was trying to do, but even as a little kid I couldn't really buy it or her whole rebellious thing. Not when she still greatly benefited from her family's money.
Instead, she comes from a well-off upper middle-class house, and she hates her parents. Not just because they don't understand her, but because her parents are actually horrible. Her Dad is a lawyer who is always looking for loopholes to get the rich out of trouble, and her Mom runs an MLM selling cheap clothes to desperate housewives (Think LuLaRoe). Her parents don't not love her, but they are deeply terrible people who, at the end of the day, only really care about themselves. Sam has sworn to do everything in her power to not be like them. The only reason she hasn't run away is because they're not home often enough for her to have to deal with them too much.
Tumblr media
Danny: "Ow! Watch where you're poking!"
She tries to do as much on her own as she can, up to and including making basically everything she wears out of discount clothes and thrift shop purchases. While she does get an allowance, she doesn't spend any of it, she's saving her money so that she can leave home the moment she turns 18 and never look back. She is more interested in fashion than she often lets on, and dreams of running an eco-friendly fair trade boutique. After destroying capitalism, of course. She designed and made the alterations to Danny's jumpsuit, with the help of spectral thread that Danny had invented for her birthday.
In this series, Sam isn't just a holier-than-thou goth girl, she's a full-on anarchist punk-rock bitch, and she's proud of it. She will always speak her mind when she feels an injustice is taking place, and unlike in the OG series, Danny and Tucker will usually be there to back her up. That said, there's plenty that she gets up to on her own, she has had her brushes with the law, she's gotten into fights, she does not protest peacefully, and she usually doesn't involve Danny or Tucker because she doesn't want them to feel obligated to help her and then get hurt because of it.
She is strongly antisocial, and generally pretty closed off. She is the type of person who will listen to everyone's problems but won't speak about her own unless pushed. She is deeply loyal to and protective of her friends, sometimes to the point of being a little overbearing.
As for Danni, I certainly have thoughts, but I haven't settled completely on how she would fit in to the overall story. I do want her to be in the series, I just need to figure out what her deal would be.
EDIT! Completely forgot to answer the second part of the question!
The biggest change I'm looking forward to is giving Valerie more screen time, haha.

When Sam is 11 years old, she hears about a couple of kids in school who were taken by the CPS and she’s not really sure what that means, so when her classmates start talking, she quietly freaks the fuck out.
Because everything they’re saying sounds somewhat familiar. “Their parents wouldn’t make them meals for days” “the heater was off” “they would stay hours after school because no one picked them up”
Now it wasn’t that bad in the carpenters home but it wasn’t good either and Sam was smart enough to know what would happen to her and Tara if someone caught wind of what was going on.
The idea of Tara, small innocent Tara, being taken away from her almost killed her instantly. So, she goes home that day and does everything in her power to make herself and Tara look as presentable and healthy as possible.
She makes sure that Tara’s clothes are very clean and that they fit (they hardly ever fit so Sam dresses in clothes for 5 year olds when she’s 7/8, they look comfy and fit her much better), she learns how to cook quick meals (worried that an adult would question Tara about her meals or the groceries in their fridge), learns how to braid hair so everyone can see that Tara is taken care of, helps Tara with all her schoolwork even if it takes hours, and so much more.
She’ll be damned if someone takes her baby sister away from her because nothing matters to her other than Tara being happy, healthy, and more importantly safe…so how does she explain that to herself when the circumstances force her to leave Tara behind years later?
How terribly tragic, the pain. I usually have Sam being warned not to talk about her home life because she will lose her sister from her mother, but somehow this is worse - because her mother doesn't even care, she has to learn this is a risk from playground gossip.
I think it all comes down to the same kind of thing when we make the backstory so awful and Sam still leaves. Why does she leave?
Because by the time Tara is 13, their life is relatively stable, and Tara is old enough to look after herself in many - in most - ways. From Sam's perspective, it was a household of neglect not abuse (neglect of course is actually abuse). But her mother is paying the bills and leaving them money and leaving them to their own devices. Tara's doing ok in school, her asthma is stable, and she has some friends now. She doesn't need Sam taking care of her 24/7. So, Tara's in a good place. But Sam isn't. She's hooked on too much, all too aware that she's an addict, and she sees how sad her sister looks when she sees her, drunk or high or passed out on the floor. She started using because she wanted to forget, but the more she took, the more she remembered. A voice in her head would tell her that she's just like her father, that she'll snap, that she'll hurt her sister. If she took more she could drown out the voice. And she's so angry these days, unable to control herself as she tries to wean herself off. She wants to get better for her sister, for herself. She can't be here anymore, she can't wait another 5 years for Tara to be able to leave before she can escape, she needs to go now. But Tara will be fine, she's doing so well. She doesn't need to be coddled by her big sister all the time. And Sam's only going away for a little bit, she'll be back, she just needs to get out of town for a little while.
I 100% believe that when Sam leaves, she never intended to stay away. She leaves to get clean, she gets a job, she gets stable herself... and then the hallucinations begin. No longer fueled by drugs and alcohol. She can't go back to her sister with the spectre of her father in her vision.
Why couldn't she stay in contact with Tara? The temptation. It's too much. It would be too tempting to return home before she's ready, to put herself back in a bad situation. And by the time she is in a better place, she's overwhelmed by the hallucinations and what this means and the fear of being like her father and hurting her sister returns, no longer hidden behind the fog of substance abuse.

3 things (:
1. I read on the wiki that one of Nathan’s dreams is to build a happy family with a lover!!?? Do you agree with this being canon (in your opinion) and if so how would you interpret it? (Maybe just Keith and the dogs or something else entirely?) I personally can see it, Nathan is such a thoughtful and aware person, even her interactions with the younger heroes alone just sells the idea for me.
2. What's a personal habit (or habits) you think Keith and Nathan have generally? (exampe: nail biting, pen clicking, doodling on important papers)
3. Love your stuff! Just dropping in to say hi! (I don’t rlly used my tumblr but why not start again!)
OMG hiii!!! 😍💚💚💚
I'm honestly honored you'd ask my opinion! 😅 Like... Maybe I have finally achieved that level of obsession with characters that gives off a vague aura of "my thoughts about them are somehow interesting"? 🤔😂🥰
But brace yourself, because this is now that "you have asked me about my hyperfixation and thus triggered an unskippable cutscene" post, lol 😅
I do think that is as canon as anything that's not directly in the show can be, yeah! (By which I mean "I hold it to be true because the authors wanted me to know about it and put it in an official product, but if someone wanted to argue that it's not really canon because it's not in the show, I'd go, 'eh, fair enough'".) My interpretation is a bit complex: I absolutely do think Nathan wants a lover and a happy family. (Like you say, she's so thoughtful, and she loves love, and supporting other people.) Now, does that 'family' imply kids? Nathan seems to love children (the same source says she wants to increase company profits to donate more money to kids), but... I think she might do so in a slightly, how to put it, more theoretical / slightly less hands-on way? I'm basing this on how she interacts with baby Sam in episode 1x09. When handed a baby, her first instinct is to go "no no no that's not for me"; she only holds him when Bunny says they need a woman because Sam is calling for "mama", so it's more of an identity-affirming thing than an I-really-like-babies thing. OTOH, she is quite nurturing, and she doesn't look too uncomfortable once she does hold Sam. But, OTOOH, she treats Rose and Kid as her peers; in spite of them being teens and her (probably) being in her 30s, she acts more like an older sister than like a parent or even an aunt to them. So I think the "happy family" thing is mostly about... you know. Having someone you share an unconditional love with; someone you can go home to. Which doesn't seem to be something she has from her parents any more. 🙁 (But she does seem to get along well with her younger sister, which, well, see the thing about Rose and Kid). And I absolutely think that is Keith and the dogs for her, yes!!! They seem to want so many of the same things, and they get along so easily and so well (as soon as they get over their slight communication bump), and they obviously like spending time together in all contexts. (It's probably one of those "Oh. Wait. I already have that family I wanted, and it's this adorable weirdo and his fluffy boys" kind of things.) ❤️💜 (I could see both of them maybe wanting to have kids in the future; but I also don't see Keith ever retiring unless he has to, and Nathan probably wouldn't want to stop being his Buddy, and they're both ridiculously busy. So my personal idea is they just keep helping and supporting kids everywhere forever, including mentoring more and more younger heroes, but they never have their own children... Although that might be me projecting, because I'm very much an "I don't want kids EVER" kind of person. 😅)
Oooh. I don't usually naturally come up with such minute headcanons on my own, but now that you've asked... 🤔 I think Keith might be someone who grounds himself by touching stuff? Like, petting his dogs, holding objects, something like that. (Possibly the kind of person who, when holding hands with someone, would keep stroking his thumb along the other person's hand without quite realizing he's doing it.) As for Nathan, I could see her maybe biting her lip or the end of a pen or something when she's frustrated, or maybe also when she's trying to focus. (Or her nails, too, but only if she can do so without ruining her manicure, lol.)
🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Thank you so much again!!! Love to see you around here, as well 💚💚💚 And... Look, I gave you that freaking novel of an answer at point 1, but I realized as I typed it that my thesis statement on that matter already exists, and it's essentially my fic Sunday, lol 😅 So I'll shamelessly plug it for your further reading (just because you already said you'd like to read more of my stuff 💖), even though it says pretty much the same things I wrote here 😘
Thank you so much for this ask, I absolutely adore talking about FireSky (obviously, lol 😅) and I love every chance to do so! We can chat about them any time you'd like! 🥰🥰🥰

Part two of the Last Of Us normal au headcanons:
Age gap is definitely ignored. They're (Ellie and Sarah) like a year at most apart.
Joel can cook. It's rare that he goes all out with new recipes especially before Tommy got married and quit coming over all the time. But he can cook and he and Sarah love bonding over cooking and baking.
Ellie can and will only eat Chef Boyardee for a week until Joel finally puts his foot down.
Hes not fond of "Fend for yourself" nights. He'll usually make sure there's something easy to make, even if it's microwave Mac and cheese and sandwiches and a veggie tray to get all the food groups needed. That or he'll leave money and take out menus.
Ellie has a bunk bed. Most people think it's for Sarah to stay in when she gets nightmares and only wants her older sister. But its actually for Riley. When she stops by and needs a place to crash, she has a comfy bed and a section of Ellie's closet.
Joel will fight every homophobe in the world for Ellie. There's no one he can't take down and he's proud of it.
Ellie has beaten people up for trying to make fun of Sarah for being so girly and 'nerdy'.
Sarah learns how to drive first, Joel teaching her in his truck. He's holding off teaching Ellie because he's scared for the other people on the road.
Sarah's everything is pink. It's her color. Every gift, every load of laundry, every little thing in the house, if it's pink, it Sarah's.
Joel buys the girls flowers when he's working long weeks when he doesn't see them except for early in the morning before school. It's not an apology entirely.
Definitely takes them out on father-daughter dates.
Joel almost cried explaining to a young Sarah what happened to Ellie. It was just so sick and made his stomach hurl. He never wanted Sarah anywhere near people like that.
Ellie was a leash kid. Obviously.
Main family outing place is the zoo. Or the planetarium.
Ellie is very serious about going to the Moon, even if she hates math with a passion.
They don't have a dog but they do have two rabbits. One is Sarah's, named Dewdrop, and it's very sweet. Ellie's is named Anarchy because it has it out for Joel. Will fuck him up if he walks into Ellie's room while he's free roaming.
Riley doesn't die. She moves away after her parents die.
Ellie still kept the bunk beds in her room. Except now it was for all the friends she made at school as well as Riley if she ever came back.
Sarah and Ellie have matching butterfly necklaces they got for each other. Ellie's is blue and pink, Sarah's color and her signature blue butterfly. Sarah's is red and black, because Riley told Ellie she looked good in red and Ellie internalized it.
Ellie and Sam are constantly posted at the comic book shop, waiting for new releases or just to reread issues.
Joel is considering getting Ellie a service dog for her PTSD, because her therapist recommended it. But they're expensive.
Joel has never once yelled or scolded Ellie for fighting back during an episode. When she's remembering what happened to her before she got adopted, she starts swinging on Joel when he's trying to get to calm down and do the exercises her therapist taught her. He usually congratulates her, telling her that "it's what I want you to do. Fight back till the end, till you're safe."
Sarah is constantly asking for Joel and Tess to have a baby.
Ellie once joked that she was going to give Sarah a baby for Christmas if Joel didn't. That was the first time Joel ever grounded her and she still laughs at the way his face dropped and the instant threat that followed.
Sarah and Ellie's favorite thing is getting home from anything late, dinner with Maria as a girls day thing, basketball game ran late, whatever, and there's Joel sitting on on porch, light on outside and in the living room, eyes peeled on the road to the Cul-de-sac.
Joel only listens to country and he would rather die than admit to anyone that, after Ellie and Sarah showed him how to make a Playlist, he made one for them.
The Playlist that has songs reminding him of both of them are all very sweet and sometimes on long, bad days, it's the only thing he'll listen to.
Ellie has a record player she loves more than life itself.
Ellie is a horse girl and joined the 4H club for that reason alone. Joel laughed when she'd come back and complain about no fucking horses being there.
Sarah is a straight "A" student. Ellie is a low A-high B student. She doesn't really care for sitting in a classroom all day.
Joel homeschooled Ellie until 4th grade (9-10 years old) just so she was caught up and really prepared for public school.
Both girls enjoy the old westerns they watch with Joel. They'll just never admit it and will make fun of them while watching.
Tommy thinks he's safe from the snark of Joel's kids entering his own until Ellie teaches his toddler, who is already going through the terrible two's, how to say fuck and reasons to be mad at their parents.
Ellie is no longer trusted to babysit Tommy and Maria's kid.
The fridge has a white board on it that Joel uses to write notes out for shopping, the schedule of the week. It has since evolved to Sarah and Ellie writing notes for him.
Example:
"We're out of milk, put that on the list."-S
"You need to shower when you come home from work, I can't stand the smell of whatever chemicals you're using. :)"-S
"I'm gonna add a box of black hair dye to the list, for all your little grey hairs."
Ellie only calls Joel "Dad" when it's serious or she's really sick. She's still scared he doesn't see her as his actual daughter.
Sarah learned to bake cakes because Joel would always forget to grab one for his birthday (not the girls', never the girls'). It's now tradition for her and Ellie spending the day before decorating his cake with stupid things. Like really bad sheep drawings and cowboy hats in bright pink and green icing on a chocolate cake.
Ellie will have as many screaming matches with Marlene and Maria as she wants, she doesn't like what they think about Joel.
Ellie finds it really embarrassing but hidden in her desk, a drawing of her and a giraffe lives. It's all shitty stick figures and only the names tell you what is happening but it's the first good memory Ellie had. The day Joel took them to the zoo to open Ellie up some and break the ice.
A giraffe stuffed animal from that same Zoo Trip lives on a shelf next to her first ever basketball trophy. It's kind of like a keepsake shelf.
One side of the fridge is covered top to counter in Polaroids of Ellie and Sarah and Joel. Mainly of Ellie and Sarah.
First time Sarah lost a tooth, Joel freaked. He was young and Tommy just laughed at him.
Neither girl has met Joel's parents. One parent is dead and the other lives states away for a reason, as Joel always puts it.
Joel is a personal purse for both of them. He's constantly got Ellie's chapstick, Sarah's hairtie, something of someone's in his pockets, on his person because they don't have any pockets or space.
Ellie has a garden she's very passionate about. Sarah helps her with it but Joel isn't allowed to. He stepped on one to many plants and he's banned.
Sarah and Ellie have scrapbooks of each other and then one of all their travel plans when they get older.
Sarah's good at art, and painted a mural on Ellie's wall of different flowers Ellie mentioned she loved.
Ellie's not so good at art but she is good at building and DIY things so she built Sarah her own little hangout space in the attic.
The attic is used to be storage but Sarah and Ellie use it as a hobby space and a hangout zone when Joel kicks them out of the living room for grown-up talk time

Okay. I have to ask.
I‘m a bit out of the loop due to real life tragedies, but I‘m seeing so much talk about Sam skyping from *that* apartment. Many people seem to be confused or even surprised.
So, my question is, and maybe I‘m missing something, but: how is it surprising? How is it confusing?
We‘ve known for a while that he/they bought the apartment that was formerly rented by Starz for Caitriona to live in.
We‘ve known for a while that Sam now officially lives there. We‘ve known for a while that he/they got rid of some of the stuff that belonged to the previous owner (the cheetah statue 😄) and had some remodelling done (for example the bedroom wall).
We‘ve also known for a while that, even though he had the wall color changed, he sleeps in frilly, womanly bedding. He bought a very expensive apartment, got rid of stuff he didn’t like and removed the womanly wallpaper, but he didn’t have any money left/didn’t bother to get new, less frilly bedding? Sure.
What we’ve also known for a while is that he sleeps on the same side as the person who took the fist bump pic with Caitriona in that same bed in that same room and whose hand looks exactly like Sam‘s and nothing like the person she‘s publicly engaged to.
We‘ve known for a while that Caitriona’s cat Eddie, who scratches and bites men who cat sit her, is so comfortable with Sam that she happily curls up on his chest in the bed that‘s been her territory for years. Something she used to do with Simon in LA, the person Caitriona used to live with back then. And also that she stayed at that apartment while Caitriona was in London for less than 48 hours instead of staying in the „new“ flat that is only minutes away. (The flat she‘s posted from a couple of times and where she seems to work.)
We‘ve also known for a while that Sam has been spending his nights at that apartment for years (ever since the selfie of him watching football on the living room floor, sometime in 2016, I think? And lest we forget the fact that Caitriona knows what time he gets up in the morning to go to the gym). Way before he officially bought it. And let‘s not forget that he bought *that* one, even though there were several identical apartments for sale in the same neighborhood at the time.
So…I mean.
I’ve said it before: we have lots and lots of receipts. Some obvious, but from long ago (Sam and Caitriona on a trip to Paris in December 2013; Sam and Caitriona cuddling on set; Sam saying „I love you!“ to Caitriona and kissing her on the forehead at Paley or him saying that he „first“ met her parents when they visited the Outlander set). Others are more recent and subtle (like him tweeting about watching Scrooged on Christmas Eve 2016, while the only place on earth where that very movie was airing at the time was Ireland; or Caitriona admitting to their Ibiza vacation, or them being close to each other‘s friends). You can try to refute all or some of them (long shot, but there are always those who explain it all away or just ignore things that don‘t fit in their picture). And then there‘s THIS. „It‘s more than a receipt to me“, that‘s what I said a while ago and I stand by it.
To me, it‘s confirmation. Because you absolutely cannot explain it any other way.
People can call me delusional or crazy all they want, I don’t care, but I think they‘re lying to themselves if they choose to ignore this and don‘t even doubt the engagement story for a second. Listen, I don’t mean to offend anyone, we all have our own way to filter things, form an opinion and deal with the picture we see. Maybe it‘s easier for some people to just ignore it and *choose* to believe Sam and Caitriona aren‘t lying to us - ignorance is bliss, I know. But still. If you believe it, it‘s a conscious decision. A conscious decision to block out the largest, most important piece of this messed up puzzle.
=========================
No, this shipper doesn't have any receipts. She does spread a lot of hot air.
Rolando bought CB's apartment that Starz rented for her when she bought the apartment with T. SS lives in Rolando's apartment now.
The fist bump was CB & T for her WCC charity - not Rolando's.
Rolando cat baby sat for CB when she and T were in London for her marathon.
Rolando wasn't spending nights in her apartment.
The reason she knew what time he was waking up is because Starz built a gym for him on the set and that's where she was seeing him in the morning. This had nothing to do with him living at her apartment but came up in an interview when he said he was waking up at 3 and she contradicted him that it was more like 4/5.
SC were never together in Paris in Dec. 2013.
Rolando's "I love you" to her at Paley wasn't because they were f*cking. 
Rolando didn't meet her parents "first". The entire production did when they visited CB on set.
CB never said that she and Rolando were in Ibiza together, just made a joke about it that shippers turned up into their own story.
Kaboom.
Good job debunking anon.
The woman in the Paris pic with a mask is unknown. Just because they say it's C doesn't make her so.
Cat sitting Eddy was Rolando trolling cause: he had already bought the apartment, poor cat had lived there for years so no wonder she was comfortable and she was sick as confirmed by C. Also thanks to me getting mad in that FB shipper group we found out shippers did see C and T at the marathon, holding hands so no, there wasn't anyone on pet duty better than their cool friend Rolando living in their old place.
And yes how to forget all the footage that places Skeleton in that apartment now. But none here wants that speculation do they?
Fist bump has the exact same validity of thumb analysis now, zero. None. Do you know what's worth it? A marriage certificate registered at GRO.

So for the made up fic title game I seriously feel like you could make so many from the lyrics if Scare Me by Ludo, pEAK DP vibes, but I wanna suggest either
Suddenly Bubbling Posthumous
Or
Spooky Breeze Breathin'
oR
Blood! Ghost! AAHHH!
Suddenly Bubbling Posthumous
All of these are gold but the first one is so fucking juicy, the mouth-feel of it is so delectable and I am incapable of choosing anything else, so here we go!
Danny Phantom, No One Knows AU, Sam's POV (tw blood) --- Here's what I'm thinking...
Danny's dead.
Everyone at school knows it. No one says anything, of course—or, at least, not where he can hear it.
People go quiet when he passes (hah), watching, staring, waiting for him to turn the corner before they erupt into furious whispers.
Danny's dead. Killed in his parent's lab. It was an accident, they say, he's lucky to be alive.
No one really believes it. They all know the truth.
That is, until a month or so into the semester when actual ghosts start attacking and people realise there's no way normal, average, so-scared-of-ghosts-he-disappears-at-the-mere-mention-of-an-attack Daniel Fenton can be anything like them. So they all move on (double hah) with their lives.
It becomes one of those school yard urban legends, you know the ones - the old principal was fired for hitting a student, Lancer rides a motorbike, the quiet guy in the back of class is a ghost. A joke that no one really believes.
But as she's always said, people are idiots—and while Sam may be a lot of things, she likes to think an idiot isn’t one of them. There's just too many things off with Fenton and yeah, ghosts might be mainstream now, but a living dead boy that has skin that burns like ice and a heartbeat that's far too slow to be normal has to be the most goth thing she can think of.
She measured it once you know, gritting her teeth against the cold bite of his skin.
They were partners that day. Tetslaff had them all record their heart rates before and after exercise and she got chewed out for not taking it seriously when she... politely expressed her concern over Danny’s readings. She took it right, she knows she did. Sure, she might have been swearing about it, but she maintains the detention was unwarranted.
Danny said nothing throughout the whole thing. Just shrugged his shoulders and rubbed the back of his neck in that nervous way he always does when people look too closely at him.
So she does the reasonable thing and decides to set up a trap.
Tucker tries to stop her, of course he does, but you can't stop Sam Manson when she's made up her mind. It's probably the one thing she's glad she inherited from her parents—but so help her, she will throw hands with anyone that says it.
Proving Danny Fenton is a ghost is easier said than done.
The summoning she pulls off the Internet is a dud and Tucker tries his best to convince her it's because Danny isn't dead and there's nothing to summon, but really, how could they expect the first thing they find off of a wannabe witch's ten year-old blog post to be legit? The animated crows should have given it away, really. She blames herself.
Sam just has to try harder.
The ouija board doesn't work—she realises it's Tuck moving it when the "spirit" asks her if she wants to play Doomed instead—and nor does the spirit box she buys off of a site claiming to be the number one shop for aspiring ghost hunters.
Danny just laughs when he sees it. She swears his teeth are sharper than normal, his mouth too wide. When she flips the switch anyway the box squawks pitifully once and stops working completely. Waste of money.
They hold a seance during a sleepover, Tucker complaining all the while. It's quickly put an end to when Tucker leans too close to a candle and his beret catches on fire. Sam's convinced he did it on purpose, but even Tuck's not that stupid. After that disaster of a night, he won't let her use anything with an open flame. There goes her burning herbs idea.
In the end, it's only by pure, dumb luck that she finds out the truth.
They're in science class and the chemicals are out, so everyone's wearing goggles and looking supremely bored. Sam's been partnered up with Danny and for once she'snot miserable that Tucker’s in a different class, because now she gets to use the lesson for her own observation experiment.
It pays off when she watches him yawn, his head nodding forward as if he's going to fall asleep standing up in the middle of class, and the beaker full of sulphuric acid slips straight through his hands.
That's not a figure of speech.
One moment his hand is there, holding it like normal and the next his hand has vanished and all that's left of the beaker is bits of glass and acid soaking into their shoes.
It's not the first time he's done it (she's pretty sure he holds the record for most lab equipment broken), but it's the first time in a while and it's also the first time Sam's seen it up close.
It's confirmation enough for her. She's seen enough ghost fights to know what intangibility looks like! Even the knowledge that her favourite boots are ruined isn't enough to dampen her victory high.
That is, until she sees him bleeding.
He'd tried to catch it.
The beaker slips through his fingers and he snatches out with his other hand, quick but not quick enough and the beaker shatters on the floor. A shard bounces back into his hand, the cut a perfectly straight line along his palm that immediately drips... blood?
It has to be blood, right?
She's watching it come out of his hand so it has to be blood, but it's green, it's a lurid, neon green, and like what the fuck even is that because it can't be blood, can it?
She claps a hand over her mouth to hold in a whimper when she watches it start to bubble.
Lancer calls for everyone to evacuate the classroom while they just stand there, staring at each other.
Fenton looks terrified, eyes as wide as hers, his face as white as... Well. As white as a ghost.
What the fuck is she meant to do now?
She lowers her hand from her mouth and whispers the first thing that comes into her head, low and under her breath, "Living dead ghost boy says what."
"What?"
Foolproof.

glee kids as the car i think they have
rachel: little two-door chevy sedan from the 90s, because her dads are loaded but they still thought her first car should be a cheap used car on principle. planned on getting her a nicer car once the chevy crapped out but it's still hanging on and she's emotionally attached to it at this point. her windshield shade is gold star print, she has three sets of seat covers, and the carpet is vacuumed. it has a cd player and a tape deck. her glove compartment full of music is alphabetized. "bernie" - short for bernadette.
finn: one of those SUVs that you have to climb into, with the step-up ledge on the side. it's huge, and it seems even bigger on the inside, but he loves it, because everything on a regular chassis had the steering wheel in his lap. it's pretty recent and he feels guilty that his parents spent so much money on him so he's a really careful driver, but the car is an absolute mess of laundry and trash until once every couple months rachel or kurt starts bitching at him about how disgusting it is. he didn't name it, but he calls it "buddy."
kurt: his baby, the navigator, of course, but hear me out - he has access to an auto shop, and he loves working with his hands. what if he had a project car? a rundown 60s lincoln continental that he bought from the scrapyard, because how dare they, sure it's falling apart and has moth-eaten seats but it's gorgeous, it just needs some love. he's made a moodboard for it complete with paint samples and fabric swatches for the carpet and the upholstery, and burt was there to hug him the first time he got it to run. "sweetheart" -- blaine's a little jealous.
blaine: bmw two-seater convertible. bright red with black-trimmed white leather interior. daddy's money, yeah, but blaine doesn't resent it -- he picked it all out himself. if his dad thought he could buy blaine's love, blaine could at least have some fun with it. it makes him feel like a badass, which was something he really needed after freshman year. dad called it a ladykiller car, but blaine's boyfriend seems to like it pretty well when they're parking. "desdemona."
quinn: a pastel green volkswagen beetle, the same car she's wanted ever since she was a little girl. a present from her parents. she keeps clothes folded in the back seat out of habit; there's a picture of puck holding beth taped to the dashboard, another one of sam's little brother and sister, and one of herself, santana, and brittany. there's a picture of the whole glee club clipped under the visor, and a bible and a half-empty pack of newports in the glove box. a cross necklace dangles from the rearview mirror. she never named it.
puck: bigass ford pickup truck that always smells like marijuana. there's pool chemicals in a box on the floor in the back and a skimmer in the bed, and there's a star of david sticker on the tailgate. the only other one has the logo for ac/dc. he's pretty bad about the laundry, too, and there's a pile of cds in the passenger seat that's half fallen off into the floor next to a can of dip that he always has to fumble for. there's a big dent in the left rear door from when he and finn were taking turns doing donuts in the school parking lot when they were fourteen and one of them ran into a streetlamp. puck swears it was finn. he has menthols in his glove box, too, even though he doesn't smoke cigarettes. the ashtray is only roaches and lipstick-stained filters. quinn doesn't mention it. "the puck-mobile."
santana: a wood-paneled station wagon that was a hand-me-down from one of her tias. it's old enough that the back seat seatbelts don't have cross-straps. the breaks are iffy and something's always rattling and she claims to hate it, but selectively does not hear when her mom tells her "we can get you a better car than that deathtrap, mija." there's a hula girl on the dash and the radio's preset to the channel brittany likes, lipsticks rolling around on the bench, and a charm of saint christopher from her abuelita stuck to the inside of one of the visors. there's pom-poms and one of brittany's stuffed animals in the backseat. "bitch" or "puta."
brittany: big old minivan. and she wanted a minivan, she picked it out herself. the dashboard, bumper, and back windshield are all covered in stickers of kittens and unicorns and rainbows; there's a cat bed on the floor of the passenger seat so she and lord tubbington can hang out. she has a pair of fuzzy dice over the mirror, along with a lei, a bi pride flag, and the first friendship bracelet she got back from santana. kurt helped her bedazzle the license plate frame and cried a little when she explained that the big heart magnet full of letters is the initials of everyone in glee club. "sparkles."
sam: his first car that his parents bought him back in kentucky was a truck, but that got repo'd along with everything else. he bought himself a discrete, practical four-door sedan, in black. its interior is perpetually coated in some amount of glitter, no matter how much he vacuums; he has two carseats in it, and half of the CDs he has are kidz bop and disney soundtracks. finn and puck ceremoniously hung a red solo cup from his rearview labeled "#6", and he keeps it there, taping the family photo carole took of him, finn, kurt, and burt to the other side. brittany calls it "other sparkles"; sam doesn't call it anything.

🏙️🍔🏠🖐️🏖️ for ur farmer sydney !!
Hii! Thank you so much! I'm glad to see people are interested in her! :DD
(🏙️) how was your farmer's life like before they moved to pelican town?
Sydney's life was rough. She was working a low-paying job at a fast food restaurant and having an awful time doing it. Let's just say, there were a lot of jerk/rude customers. She had a habit of not using her customer service smile when interacting with these people, which got her in some trouble with her manager. And when there were people who were nice, she tended to get sucked into the conversation for too long, which got her in trouble, too.
Eventually, after a particularly bad week, she snapped and was rude to a frequently horrible patron. She ended up getting fired. With no way to pay off her rent for her unit, she was forced to live with her older sister Mel. Mel was annoyed--very annoyed--but she wasn't about to let her sister go homeless. So, she took her in.
But things soon turned out to not work. As Syd couldn't get herself a job, Mel was at her wit's end trying to pay for the both of them. It seemed to her like her sister didn't even want a job, but she didn't understand Syd had just given up. She was twenty-five and had gotten one job over her life (unless you count doing the neighbours' lawn as a teen); what was the point?
This caused a lot of fights between the girls, and Mel almost kicked her out to live with Adeline or their parents. It was because she just couldn't keep going much longer with the current financial situation. They were losing more than they gained. But Sydney refused, and demanded she didn't let her sister drag Adeline down. Because, of course, living with her parents was not an option.
This lead to Mel stress-cleaning the house and finding her grandfather's will. At first, she didn't want to take up on the offer. In fact, she considered selling the property for the money. But Sydney swooped in and pestered her with (for once) real reason and logic. Adeline was supportive of her cause, too, and that's how Mel ended up agreeing to take Sydney to the farm.
(🍔) does your farmer like to cook? are they good at it?
She can, uh...She can make two-minute noodles?
No, but seriously, Sydney is a terrible cook. She's managed to stay healthy because she just takes supplement tablets and eats plain vegetables. I mean, she can do basic things like baked potatoes, but she's not cooking wizard. Honestly, she also eats a lot of chips. It's like, a third of her diet before moving. Once she does move, though, she learns to cook with Adeline's help and actually starts eating a better variety of food and improving her skill!
(🏠) does your farmer buy a house for pam and penny? do they reveal their identity or stay anonymous?
All the sisters decide to pitch in to get Pam and Penny a house. Mel insists they stay anonymous, whereas Sydney wants to go public about it and Adeline would like to go public for the sake of any issues that may arise. They end up listening to Adeline (and I suppose Syd by proxy) and go public about the build. Pam and Penny are, of course, overjoyed. But Sydney does brag about it a little too much.
(🖐️) any rings they absolutely need to have at all times?
She needs the vampire ring (+2 health every time you kill a monster) just to make sure she doesn't die. Girl is a bit too reckless sometimes. She also takes the burglar's ring (monsters more likely to drop loot) so she can bring something back for her family. She knows she's not a great farmer or fisherman, so she tries to do what she can to contribute.
(🏖️) do they visit the island resort? who do they take with them?
She visits it sometimes; not as much as Adeline but more than Mel. She drags the ASS squad + Harvey with her for maximum fun. Harvey makes sure everyone has sunscreen on so they don't burn. Meanwhile, Sebastian is always there under the shade to hang out with while you dry off while Sam and Abigail are there to have fun with.
Also I'm just realising this now but their names literally form the acronym "SASS" and I think that's amazing. Or "SHASS" if you include Harvey but that's not as cool.
