So, Let Me Guess– You Just Started A New Book, Right? And You’re Stumped. You Have No Idea How Much

DPXDC Prompt #148

Danny didn’t want to go to the gala but since all of his friends were busy with their own soulmates there wasn’t much he could argue. Vlad invited his family and him to a gala out in Gotham and his parents jumped at the opportunity to show their madness with some of the elite. Danny couldn’t wait to get home, yes he knew he had a soulmate but he wasn’t sure if he wanted to pursue them or not.

They could feel each other’s emotions and his soulmate was an angry person. Danny’s whole life his soulmate acted mad and strangely prideful. But those didn’t compare to his fear, they seemed to have gotten themselves in trouble in the past and maybe even had a few close encounters with death. They also seemed to bottle feelings up from what he could tell his soulmate might not have had the best childhood but Danny couldn’t really say much on that.

Damian knew his soulmate was kind of soft. They seemed to get annoyed at his family typical for a teen. Of all the things he noted about him his dislike of Christmas was a little odd but not everyone has to like the holidays he supposed. His mother Talia imparted on him that he should protect his soulmate with his life when he finds him so he was very determined to find them. Of course galas we’re the best place to look so he desperately asked every time his father hosted one.

Parts:

I think I’d be really funny, if Bruce was a reincarnated Vlad.

This is going to be based off of a prompt I saw (I will find you) where Bruce suddenly remembered his past life as Vlad.

HOWEVER, my take on that is the de-aged Ellie and Dan because the amount of ANGST and self hate that Bruce will go through thinking his past self was not only a villain, but also that sort of person?

It will eat him alive.

It will eat that man alive every time he goes to sleep and another burst of memories pass underneath his eyelids.

It burns him when he wakes up with the phantom touch of a body underneath his hands, of a boy just as young as Damian and thinner too, struggling to escape a grip of a man whose hold was too possessive, and too cruel.

It feels like acid swishing down his throat when he wakes with the taste of oily words filled with threat and something more whispered over the form of a boy. A young boy whose blue eyes blazed furiously back and yet tried to hide the quiet bursts of fear underneath.

It feels like Bruce cannot scrub the man he had been right out of him, even when his skin blisters red until it bleeds. Vladimir Masters had woken spitting and screaming, burrowed like a cold sore underneath everything that is Bruce.

Bruce hates it.

Hates the monster he had once been and still is — because despite the fact Vlad is now Bruce, living and breathing and existing here in Gotham — Vladimir Masters still exists.

He is out there right now in a little place called Amity Park, pulling weight and blood just to get what he wants.

A man who has used abused for far too long…

Perhaps it was time to see to it, that however and whatever way that Bruce came to be, that it began with Vlad’s unfortunate circumstances back into the Ghost Zone.

I'm just now imagining if the Justice League has to summon the ghost King for some random reason Batman is really against it and everyone's taking as Batman doesn't like magic

In reality Batman doesn't want to see the person that he hurt when he was Vlad Masters and now Batman AKA Bruce Wayne is left with the guilt and is trying so hard to be a good father and a good vigilante

just imagine Ghost King Danny much older than he used to be it's been 100 years since Vlad passed one and was reincarnated just looking at Batman out of everyone summoned him.

And the first words out of Danny's mouth was "Vlad ?!" it's someone angry but it's also confused and a bit frightened

Just imagine how awkward it is for everyone else thinking that Danny mistake the Batman for someone that he used to know but Batman and Danny just know the truth are incredibly uncomfortable around each other

Imagine Batman turned awkwardly after a while asking Danny about the kids like Danny has some would realize that Batman does nothing like Vlad but it's still freaking weird like this could be angst with future fluff with everyone else who's not in the know thinking it's crack

All I can see is Danny and Batman having an incredibly strange relationship cuz Batman wants to apologize so badly to Danny but Phantom is not accepting because he knows that that was Vlad and not Bruce

Sorry for the bad typing I'm typing on my phone

mickey's multiverse

hi-hi, i'm mickey and i love AUs! this is a masterpost. you're free to ask me any and all questions about them!

{🛡} the four stalwart generals — in where the monkey king's four stalwart generals are genuine characters instead of brief mentions with no dimension to them. { original post }

{🧿} emotional support eye saga — when sun wukong killed the six-eared macaque, he took the right eye from macaque's corpse as a keepsake for himself. after revival, macaque discovers why his eye is missing, an a chaotic, self-destructive tug-o-war over the eye ensues. { original post // masterpost }

{🩸⚜} bite and holy blood — an addendum to the emotional support eye saga. sun wukong's blood is a precious commodity... and macaque's drug of choice. { progenitor }

{🎯} the hunt of the little sage — erlang shen met and fell in love with sun wukong, not knowing sun wukong acts mainly in his own self-interest. erlang discovers that there is someone wukong loves, and, well... that will not stand. { timeline }

{❌} the lie — an offshoot of the emotional support eye saga. sun wukong lies to the six-eared macaque that he means nothing to wukong, and it sends macaque off the deep end. technically a complete AU.

{🎭} the fusion — sun wukong and the six-eared macaque are codependent, and this manifests in the form of a fusion of their beings. before wukong had been imprisoned and sent on the journey to the west, the fusion had been a happy, healthy person, but with everything after... they're better off dead. yet macaque still pursues it, and wukong cannot say no.

Conner isn't a clone of Luther and Superman,but Danny phantom and Superman.

Phantom looked at the monitor in the med bay dumbstruck. Several other leaguers were in the same situation. How could this have happened? WHEN did it happen? Sure during the early years of crime fighting, Danny hadn’t been the best at keeping his blood in his body but he had grown by leaps and bounds since then. With GIW and his parents trying to figure out how to take him out, it had become instinctual to make sure that he didn’t leave much of a trace wherever he went. Yet, somehow it had been leaked.

And to Lex Luthor no less.

“I don’t understand. Phantom wasn’t even a part of the league when the Cadmus project was in operation. So how could this be?!” Flash stated as his eyes scanned the results over and over but they remained the same.

“I’m… I’m just as confused as you are.” Danny admitted still feeling overwhelmed by this new information. When Cadmus was in operation he had finally appointed as the King of the Infinite Realms at the age of 21. He didn’t join the Justice League until a little over a year later when some idiotic cultists had thought it was a good idea to try and merge the death realm with the living. Now, going into his second year with the League, Danny was finding out he had been cloned.

Again.

Batman grunted as he leaned back in his chair. “The results don’t lie. I’ve run them about ten times and it has all come up the same. The records on Cadmus had stated that Superman and Lex Luthor were the donors in creating Connor. However, Phantom’s DNA is a perfect match.”

The halfa looked to the teenager who was lying on a bed in the other room unconscious. While out on a mission, Superboy had taken several nasty hits and was severely injured. He had needed a blood transfusion and the poor kid had a horrible reaction when Manhunter tried to use an IV of Luthor’s blood which was supposed to have been a match. (Superman donated his blood as needed. It's not that he didn’t want to help but it was really hard for him to give blood with his body the way it was. Most needles just bent out of shape when they tried to pierce the skin.) It was touch and go but it appeared that Danny’s was a perfect match in more ways than one. Phantom pulled out his cell phone and started texting Jazz. She was not going to believe this.

“Phantom, what are you doing?” Batman asked when he saw him pull the device out.

“Texting my sister.”

Flash, finally, peeled his eyes away from the monitor. “Why?”

“Because, apparently, I have a long lost son who I didn’t even know about and she is going to flip that Superboy is her nephew,” Danny responded with a smirk. He wished he could have delivered the news in person. Oh! He also needed to get a hold of his other sister. Dani was going to be so excited to learn that she was no longer the only clone in the family.

Thoughts were swirling inside of his head. Conner currently lived at the base of the Young Justice team. Mainly because he didn’t have anywhere to go. Would the boy mind if he took him home with him? His castle in the Ghost Zone was massive and a lot of the rooms were unoccupied. Conner could pick as many of the rooms as he wanted for all he cared. So long as he was happy. Danny’s apartment was a lot smaller but he could probably upgrade so that Conner could have his own space. Money wasn’t really an issue anymore. It would probably do wonders for the teen’s mindset if he had a proper home to come back to instead of the reminder that the one person who was supposed to care about him didn’t.

“You are taking this awfully well,” Batman said as a statement but Danny could feel the questioning gaze of the bat when he put his phone away. “I would have thought you would be mad.”

“Oh, I’m livid all right.” Phantom replied and what he said was true. “I just found out today that I have a son because the boy was put into the hospital due to the severity of his injuries and he had existed for at least two years in this world without my knowledge. Two years that were filled with an unprecedented amount of physical, emotional, and mental trauma as he tries to figure himself out and separate his identity from the man who is supposed to be his other father and mentor. Only for that man to have treated him as an abomination for existing in the first place.” The room temperature dropped to the point that the breath of the other Leaguers showed. “To be honest, I had already low-key adopted him because of that fact but now that I know I’m related there are going to be some changes.”

Flash and Batman exchanged a look seeing the green eyes of the ghost king flare for a few moments before settling into a soft pulse. Both were thankful that Superman was off-world, at the moment. Clark would have probably said something that would have set the man off if he had been there for the startling revelation. Superman cared about Conner. He did but he was having a hard time overlooking the fact that he was cloned without his consent. So Conner’s life was basically denied by the one person he wanted to be acknowledged the most.

Superman would have to be told before he came back so that he would be prepared for when Phantom was going to come at him. Hopefully, enough time will have passed so that Phantom will have calmed down and had a chance to figure out what he wanted to say. Regardless, it wasn’t going to be a fun conversation. For now, Batman nodded to the halfa and turned back to the monitor. “Why don’t you go check on Conner? He should be waking up soon and this news might be what he needs to hear.”

“Maybe he won’t see himself as a villain anymore because he shared DNA with one.” Danny nodded and flew into the teen’s room trying to think of a good way to tell him. How was he going to react? What was he going to say? Would he accept Danny as a father? It didn’t have to be a father role right away, maybe even a cousin or brother. Whatever the boy felt most comfortable with. After all, it didn’t matter what Conner picked in the end because he was family.

And he would never be fighting through things alone again.

Oh my God ever since I seen this I've had a little brain warm in my head no I just can't stop imagining that Zuko as a child was given a curse every time he lets his emotions get too bad he grows so the ship has had itself resupplies for a giant Zuko tantrums

Like it's like in shallow water Zuko could just hop in and walk along the ship with his uncle and crew and he can only get back with him when he calm down

Can you please draw more Giant Zuko 🥺

Here is a little more 🙈

1) I want to say I am a long time fan of your art I love all of the things you do with the owl house and the wittebanes. You are amazing and you should know.

2) I kinda want all of your Calebs from all your AUs to get together in a room and see which of them is the least traumatized. I think it would be as fun as it is heartbreaking

AW THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I've got a skit for you, on all my AU Caleb's meeting. It is completely nonsensical and honestly... I have no words. They'd probably all get on each other's nerves.

Here they are:

Timepool AU Caleb

Silly AU Caleb

Happy Modern AU Caleb

Happy Timepool AU Caleb

Puppet Timepool AU Caleb

Gold Tail AU Caleb

It's the annual Caleb Convention, and this year there are even fewer in attendance! Today's session is a discussion of which Caleb has it worse than the rest.

BEFORE THE CONVENTION

Silly Caleb: (To Timepool Caleb) Hey, hey, hey you… Timepool Caleb: Uh? Yes? Silly Caleb: You live on earth, yeah? Timepool Caleb: I do… Silly Caleb: (Whisper) You got the stuff? Timepool Caleb: Pardon? Silly Caleb: (Shifty eyes) Silly Caleb: The Pumpkins. Timepool Caleb: (Facepalms)

DURING THE CONVENTION

Happy Timepool AU Caleb

Oh, trauma? I mean, a lot of us rescued a baby from our elderly younger brother after experiencing the horror of being trapped in a timepool... but I made it back home to my wife, and… I GOT THE APPLE BLOOD. Oh, and I have two beautiful children. Everyone keeps asking if I need to make excuses for why one looks tubbier than the other... They're twins, I swear. Life's going great for me! My babies are also tormenting their Uncle, so no Philip is messing with this family anytime soon.

Silly Caleb: Oooh! So your kids bully Philip too! Nice. Nice.

All Calebs: (Clapping)

Puppet AU Caleb

Puppet Timepool Caleb: …Oh? Me? Life has been a constant struggle. But at least we’re all still together... Right son? Flap?

Hunter & Flapjack: (As puppets) ...

Puppet Timepool Caleb: A-Anyway, I'm starving. The Boiling Isles lacks enough food with all the crumbling infrastructure.

Modern Happy AU Caleb

Modern Happy AU Caleb: My brother went missing a few years ago when we went to the Boiling Isles. Everything else has been great. Supposedly, he returned and met my son, and I am an uncle to a disc… who wants titan blood? I think my horrors are yet to come. 

Timepool Caleb

Sitting in the in-between realm flat-out sobbing. That son of a bitch. He killed my family.

Silly AU Caleb

Truly, my life is the greatest. I have a beautiful kid, I get to bully old man Philip all I want, and I got to keep all the apple blood for myself. Everything is just perfect.

Merman Caleb

…At least you all still have legs.

Timepool Caleb: (Sobbing) Silly AU: OG AU Caleb is really killing the vibe. Can you be a little less selfish? Also. (Silly AU Caleb claps his hands.) Silly AU Caleb: Half of you are on Earth, yes? Well, let’s get to business. All Calebs: What? Silly Caleb: I called you all here because I. Need. Pumpkins. If we all work together then my son will finally get to try a delicious pumpkin pie.  All Calebs: Y-You mean… All this time Merman Caleb: ARE YOU SERIOUS?! EVEN I MANAGED TO GET HIM PUMPKIN PIE. AND I AM IN THE SEA.  Silly AU: Clearly my reality is the direst.

(All the Calebs are getting pumpkins and making pie.)

All the Hunters sitting together. 

Puppet Hunter: ...

Happy Timepool AU Hunter (With his Sister): (Devouring pie with no respect) 

Timepool Hunter (Mullet kid): F-Flap would have loved this. 

Modern Happy AU Hunter (No scars; Earth haircut) I should have expected pie would taste different if it were made in the past and future?

Mer-Hunter: Pie without the salt-water taste. It’s good. 

Silly AU Hunter (No scars dot eyes): “Wow, actual pumpkin pie”

Silly AU: I think this is what the book meant by time-travel… and get a shit ton of pumpkins.  Timepool Caleb: Are you reading How to Revive your Dead Wife? Silly AU: Yes! Great literature isn’t it?  Timepool Caleb: It’s a book from an AU of long ago… where zombies killed some Caleb’s wife. Instead of working, it destroyed every trace of the reality… People ask about Zombie AU Caleb all the time, but he’s gone.  Silly AU: Oh, oh, I know all about Zombie AU Caleb. That’s exactly what I’m hoping for. Timepool Caleb: To be wiped from existence? Silly AU: How else do you stop a genocide? By having your world never exist, of course! Timepool Caleb: What about your Hunter? Silly AU: … oh …  All the Caleb’s: You’re really the dumb one, aren’t you?  Silly AU: Hunter! We are leaving! Grab your pumpkin and let’s go. Timepool Caleb & Puppet Caleb: Not a chance, pal.  Silly AU: Oh my, is that Philip Wittebane with another baby grimwalker? All the Caleb’s: GASP. PIP WE SAID STOP.

Happy Modern & MerCaleb: … Nice try. But our Hunter isn’t even a grimwalker.  Silly AU: Hehehe, jokes on you fish. I have legs! And you… I heard Philip has let out your disc nephew and he is blaring Baby Shark. MerCaleb and Modern Caleb: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.  Silly AU: *grabs Puppet Hunter like a ragdoll and runs through the portal. Alright son, we got the pumpkin and….  Puppet Hunter: ... Silly AU Hunter: Oh… uh… Guess we’re doing a bit of a Dadswap. Puppet Timepool Caleb: (Scary emaciated man with big hair flying rage)

Timepool Caleb: This ends now…  Modern Caleb: Pushes the reset button.  Silly Caleb (wakes up back in his castle) Silly Hunter: “Papa, Papa?” Silly Caleb: “What happened?” Silly Hunter: “Lily says she found one.” Silly Caleb: “Found…” Silly Hunter: “A pumpkin.” Silly Caleb: “Oh… did she?” Silly Hunter: “She says it has your name written on it.” Silly Caleb: (He looks at Lily and the pumpkin.) Pumpkin: “You give the surviving Caleb’s a bad name.” Silly AU Caleb picks up his book How to Revive your Dead Wife. He flips to the next page. It reads. "Infuriate yourself in other realities.

Silly AU Caleb: “Looks like we can make a mighty fine pumpkin pie now.”

The holder that fuck your brother

It’s giving - “I fucked your brother” vibes.

Dc x Dp prompt

Danny has been working with the YJ for months, and he offhandedly mentioned he doesn’t have a grave. After Raven/one of his rogues explain why that’s a big deal, they decide to make him a grave/shrine. Danny loves it, and it can work as a way to call him in a pinch.

The Justice League and Justice Dark are at Young Justice headquarters, and notice the shrine. They are …. Concerned.
