It becomes a trend. If a hero meets the couple, they sign the thermos. It's almost like a prayer for the 'departed soul'. Take the signatures of heroes to your grave, so a part of them is always watching over you in death, keeping you safe.
Very dramatic, very tragic, while the Everlasting Trio thinks this is a great souvenir, isn't that cool?
Danny thought he would say this but being inside the thermos was honestly relaxing and a bit fun.
In some cases even therapeutic for him.
So he created another thermos just to hold him, in a way that he could fully control, that way he wouldn't be trapped.
Tucker & Sam would carry him around with them, usually speaking with him and including him in their activities.
Danny while inside could only project his emotions towards them to communicate, but they understood him perfectly with how long they've been together.
Tucker was still trying to create something special to vocally speak to each other in this situation, not really necessary but a fun idea for Tuck.
The citizens of Amity were already used to this so didn't even give them a second glance.
The people outside of Amity on the other hand?
Completely different story.
Which caused a lot of misunderstanding when the trio decided to take a road trip before heading to college.
To these people it looked like Sam & Tucker were carrying around their boyfriend's (Danny) ashes, and completing a bucket list that Danny never managed to live long enough to enjoy with them.
Speaking and including Danny in their activities like he were there and responding to them being their way of coping with his death.

S&T: "Oh! Look Danny they have those candies that you really like!"
Danny: *Excited vibes*
Gas station employee: *wipes a tear away* "Oh what tragic love story"

Inside a store shopping
Sam: "Look Danny they have space stickers, do you want some?
Danny in the shopping cart's baby seat: *Space! Stick them on my thermos*
Tucker looking at Danny's thermos: "Good idea Danny, It'll make your thermos look really nice!"
People around them: "Is that an urn? Are they speaking to the ashes?"

At a museum
Tucker: " 3 adult bracelet passes to the space exhibition please"
Employee: "3? Sorry sir I need to personally put them on, could you call for your third member?"
Sam: *Holding up the thermos* "Here he is. Do you have a bracelet big enough to fit him?"
Danny is too excited to pay attention
Employee:

Just an Idea
People find out. And if you thought Sam was good at organizing protests? That Tucker was good at spreading the word? Oh, you haven't seen anything yet. It becomes a national issue. Protests are held around the entirety of the cemetery, people line up to help put things to right, to block people out, to shout at the local authorities. People are furious. They are aware and furious. Because that is where their family was. What if they can't rest now you've disturbed them? The workers will put it to rights or so help them there will be one more corpse in the cemetery.
During a rouge attack(your choice) a local graveyard in Gotham was damaged. Afterward, some local corrupted businessmen decided that clearing out the land and moving the graves was a great idea.
Not soon after the "clean up" began a gray-skinned teen with flaming blue hair showed up, and boy was she angry. She began yelling, screaming at the people the workers for digging up her grave.
When she was only met with patronizing responses she used her guitar to destroy some of their equipment. She was only the beginning though. Soon a equally gray looking biker guy and his green girlfriend showed up and started chasing people off.
Even some angry blue guy showed up one morning yelling about how ' they would pay for braking open his box.' (Braking his casket) wasn’t till they accidentally damaged a statue of one of Gothams most famous wardens that it really hit the fan.
The Bats call in Justice League Dark for help with this issue and no matter what they were thinking was going to happen. No matter what hoops they thought they would have to go through to resolve this. They did not expect Constantine to call a fourteen year old for back up.
- So in canon Ember died in a house fire. I could totally see that happening as a result of a rouge attack.(Like Firefly or the Joker, maybe)
Johnny and Kitty died in a motorcycle accident. So maybe they were trying to out run the police? Run from people they had gambling debts with?
The Box Ghost was a warehouse accident. Probably as an example the Mob wanted to make to the warehouse owner after not wanting to pay for protection. Or perhaps he was a whistle-blower?
Walker died in a prison riot, and seeing how Gotham is the place to find violent criminals. Would it be that much of a stretch to say it was Gotham penitentiary? I think not.
All I need is for someone to gently cup my face and tell me I'm not as doomed as I feel.
Gothamites: Don't be a villain, please don't be a villain, please, please, don't be-
Danny, after stubbing his toe, jokingly: Welp, guess this is the start of my villain arc.
Gothamites frantically baby proofing table corners: aaaaaaAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
Danny got a job in Gotham as a scientist/chemist and has been enjoying it greatly. He's the best in his field and everyone he works with is weirdly nice to him. If only they weren't so nervous around him all the time.
Another Rebooted AU! This time, the TimTim AU!
((I never watched the Young Justice Cartoon but I cherry picked aspects of that universe for this AU, so it won’t be 100% like the show.))
A month before his first official outing as Robin, Tim is home alone, studying in his room when he notices a bright light in the corner of this eyes. Before he can turn to see what it is, searing pain ignites in his chest. It feels like someone is prying open his ribcage and shoving something inside, something warm and soft. It’s the last thing Tim remembers before passing out in a heap on his floor.
Unconscious, Tim is greeted with the sight of someone standing before him. It’s an older, more experienced version of himself, one who has endured years of turmoil and hardship. He looks exhausted, seemingly using the last bit of his strength to just simply exist.
“I have no were else to go.” His older self whispers. “Can I stay here?”
Somehow, he understands immediately what is being asked and smiles. He reaches out his with his hand and grabs the elder’s own. “Of course you can stay.”
—–
-Older Tim’s universe (DC comics universe) is utterly annihilated, and his soul is left wandering the void until he stumbles upon an younger version of himself. The younger Tim (YJ cartoon universe) happily lets the other stay with him, becoming a body with two souls.
-So now young Tim has Older Tim in his head, giving him advice and teaching him the tricks of the trade. Older Tim takes the name Drake so it’s no so confusing when they talk to one another. (It reminds him fondly of Damian).
-Tim is in control of his body the entire time, except for when he’s in a very tense or dangerous situation. The two souls can sync up, allowing Drake to guide Tim on how to move his body like an echo of his own. This allows Tim to pull off shit way past his level of experience, but it a pays a nasty toll on his body, and he could be stuck in bed for days if he pushes himself too far.
-Tim is shy and very quiet. He has no friends, his parents are always gone, and Batman and Nightwing keep him at arms length. But everything changes with Drake, and Tim finally feels like he has a brother, a twin who will stay with him till the end. He doesn’t want that taken from him, so he keeps Drake existence a secret. (Tim is scarily protective of Drake)
-Tim’s right eye (blue) changes to the same color as Drake’s eyes (teal).
-Anything Tim drinks or eats, Drake can taste. Tim HATES coffee, but he knows Drake loves it, so he’ll indulge the other and drink it for him once in awhile.
-Two Tim’s mean two times the brain power. It’s scary how smart they are combined, but most of their conversations happen in Tim’s head, so it becomes common to just see Tim standing still in random spots, spacing out.
-Drake is very protective of his younger self and wants to try and make the other happy. He still feels so much regret and sorrow for the world and the people he lost, and wants to make sure Tim doesn’t suffer the same fate. He also feels guilty about sharing a body with Tim, but Tim assure him constantly that it’s fine.
reblog to give the person you reblogged from the strength to complete The Task™
the fact that “the vibes here are rancid” is a power that the jedi actually have is insane to me
Is this happening to anyone else?? When there's a video post right after the one I have, if I scroll down even just a tiny bit, the screencap loads over the video I'm watching. It has happened multiple times.
"With fractured soul come debts divine, an unfortunate responsibility of mine,"
Danny gets cursed to speak in rhyme when he first meets the League so everyone simply assumes he’s a demon.
"They have black hair and blue eyes, Master Bruce. I do believe that is referred to as the pot calling the kettle a serial adopter, sir."
So like, sad time, but Alfred dies while Bruce is doing his world tour. He never survived long enough to see Bruce become Batman. Died alone in the Manor, after a particularly nasty fall and a broken neck.
But that was unacceptable.
Master Bruce, insufferable boy, could not lose another paternal figure in his life. Also the Manor was still a mess, and Bruce would need someone to make sure he didn't accidentally poison himself.
So he hid his corpse on the Manor grounds, and got to work.
And he was so glad he stayed; sure, it had taken a bit to stop glowing, but really the floating thing was amazingly helpful in reaching the chandelier, and after Master Bruce had returned he had gotten so many grandchildren.
Fast forward; Danny defeated Pariah Dark, he is Crown Prince of the Infinite Realms, Dan is attempting reformation and is technically a Prince by relation, and Dani is attempting to be Dan's parole officer and is definitely a Princess 100% she never forgets that no sir.
And Danny gets approached by some of the Observants, and they tell him that there is a very powerful ghost in Gotham, one that fully and completely blends in with humans and really needs to come to the Infinite Realms to complete his paperwork. But whenever they show up, this ghost thinks that they're there to force him to stay in the Infinite Realms.
And he kicks their asses.
Brutally.
For a bit he had a tiny kid ghost with him kicking their asses as well, but the kid randomly disappeared one day.
The Observants very clearly outline that this ghost is not Gotham herself, although the tax-evading criminal has been seen having tea with her.
Danny has no desire to deal with this; he just graduated high school and needs to focus on what college he's going to choose, so if Dan or Dani want to throw hands with some weird Gotham Ghost then by all means. Fuck taxes anyways, what did the Zone even take for taxation, what-?
So Danny splits his time college hunting and trying to find out how tax laws work in the Ghost Zone.
Dani goes to the old man first, and Alfred promptly sits her down and gives her cookies and hot chocolate, treats her like the kid she's never been treated like between Vlad and all of the Zone focusing on the Princess thing, and she feels at home for the second time in her half-life.
Dani gets a call from a nervous Observant, and promptly tells him she isn't going back either so nyah.
Dan goes to pick her up, and Alfred asks him if he is quite alright, he looks rather tense, and that if it is a fight he wants then the Justice League could probably use a new member, after all Alfred knows an upstanding young man when he sees one, and clearly Dan just needs a chance to prove to himself that he can be good.
Just like another young man Alfred knows.
Dan gets a call from a nervous Observant, and tells them that he's a little busy stopping an alien invasion, and is a tentative member of the Justice League now so he doesn't have time for their bullshit.
Also fuck taxes.
Finally, Danny has no choice.
He goes to drag this random old man and his little sister back to the Zone himself.
Alfred takes one look at him and slowly slides a flier for Gotham University across the kitchen island.
"Your younger sister speaks well of you," the dead butler says, eyes beaming, "and I believe that, given what she has said, you qualify for one of the Wayne Educational Grants for a full ride, so to speak."
Alfred never gets dragged into the Ghost Zone, although eventually he does learn that they weren't trying to drag him into the Land of the dead but were just trying to get him to do paperwork.
He never goes.
Bruce, however, is very fucking confused as to where these strange kids came from.
Yo! I'm Lira, she/her, LiraBuswavi on Ao3, and I'm just here to have a good time. The header is fanart I received for a fanfic I wrote! Check out @doodlesforfics, they're an amazing artist.
