somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

Listen, if you’re craving sugar to the point where it feels like a “drug addiction” (and even drug addiction is complex & widely misunderstood), then you’re too hungry. You’re too hungry!

The pleasurability of sugar and the reward that sugar creates in the brain is much more pronounced in what the literature calls “restrained eaters” than it is in intuitive eaters. Sugar is usually pleasurable for most people, but in non-restrained eaters its appeal will be highest at our hungriest and decrease significantly with satiety. Restrictive eaters don’t experience satiety, because they constantly maintain an energy deficit, and that’s why sugar feels like a “drug.” Dietary sugar is fast, efficient energy for a deprived body, and our smart bodies drive us to it powerfully for that reason, to rectify the energy deficit.

Dietary sugar is great. It’s not a threat. It doesn’t cause disease. It’s not a drug. It’s a healthy part of a pleasurable diet. But if it feels to you like you’re completely out of control around it because of the intensity of its pleasurability, you need to be eating more calories, period.

The First One

Danny is the first Batkid. The gaggle of children that comes afterwards is now his headache now, as their big brother.

I wonder like- what starts bruces adoption addiction if dannys first? Bc with dick its because he understands him and doesnt want him going on a revenge path on his own. But if danny's first....

Okay but this also changes so much still. This has, so many possibilities and possible impacts on how the family experiences and responds to canon events.

Danny 100% kicks off Bruce’s paternal Hen Brooding through orphan status. I’m thinking a major apocalyptic type event caused by Vlad happens in Amity Park, decimating the city. Major news coverage, several nearby heroes helping with search and rescue.

Maybe the Fenton Portal went nuclear. Danny loses his parents and Jazz. I’m thinking Danny had been out with Sam and Tucker so they survive. Main difference from the Dan timeline.

The second major news sensation is the custody of Danel Janas Fenton, not the only legal issue regarding many of the survivors but the loudest and most dramatic.

Danny is blasting Masters any and every chance he gets. Driving home how he doesn’t feel safe around the man, how he always talked about wanting Jack dead. His friends back him, Tucker has audio of Vlad talking shit and casually remarking how Jack would be better dead and Danny just becoming His son instead.

The sound bite is fucking Everywhere.

Aunt Alicia can’t get custody bc Vlad is technically not just godfather but named in the will to take care of Jazz and Danny if they died; but also she lives deep in the rural country and doesn’t have the income required.

Danny Fenton’s whole situation is as much a media circus and familial battle ground as Bruce’s was.

Bruce steps up and meets Danny after going through the steps to be a foster parent.

Danny: why?

Bruce: because you feel unsafe with your current options and shouldn’t have to deal with all of this on top of having lost your parents and sister. It doesn’t have to be permanent but I want to offer you a safe place to stay until we find something you’re comfortable with.

Danny eyeing Martha and Thomas Wayne’s shades smiling at him behind and to the left of Bruce, acceptance and encouragement, care and safe-love-protect-ours-promise radiating off them: Yeah okay. But if you pull some supervillain shit I’m out.

Bruce: Deal.

He doesn’t find Jason’s ghost but he does find Jazz’s. He brings her back because he wants her help with convincing Bruce to get help and to introduce her to Dick.

They come in and see Tim and aren’t mad at him. They are crystal clear of that to him. They are furious with Bruce however and call in Dick to help strong arm Bruce back in to therapy. After all he should not be using a child as an emotional crutch, he knows this.

What about the Al’Ghuls? They are Danny and Bruce’s issue, going with the idea that the pits are natural pools of ecto that were messed with by Ras. Idea, he is the reason that the Fentons died. Once Danny becomes Ghost King he works really hard to take out Ras.

Body Double? You mean Double Trouble.

Jack Fenton has a weird job. It pays well enough to fund his family's ghost research, and he only has to run to Gotham like, four times a year.

What's his job?

Body Double.

His job is to drop everything and attend galas as Brucie Wayne when Brucie Wayne calls.

Okay, but Tim with powers? Yes, please!

Imagine what would happen during Red Hood's attack on Tim at Titan's Tower if Tim inherited Jack's strength and/or durability, but had been hiding it.

*∆ That was what I originally wrote, but I had so many ideas are popping into my head that needed to come out*

--Post-Tim-becomes-an-orphan and post-Danny-is-Phantom-reveal.

The JL, TT, or YJL needs help with some kind of magical baddie/ghost/Trigon, so Red Robin calls up Phantom.

After Danny mops the floor with the bad guy, people are like "How do you know this guy?" And Tim just goes "That's my little brother."

---Would Tim even be adopted by Bruce? Because I think Jack and Maddie would be absolutely fine with taking Tim in. Maybe they'll even move to Gotham.

---Vlad would definitely try to use this to his advantage only for it to hilariously backfire on him.

He finds out about Tim first and goes to "console" Maddie, only to find out she already knew about the cheating and has completely forgiven Jack, but didn't know about Tim and didn't know that Tim has just been orphaned.

The whole family disappears for a week and comes back with Jazz and Danny's older brother. Tim was already working with the Bats, but they don't treat him right, so he goes with the Fentons. He finds out about everything that's going down I Amity Park and decides to create a new hero identity so he can help Danny.

He's the one that gets the Fentons to realize how creepy and unstable Vlad is.

---OMFG! What if it's been an open secret that Bruce Wayne is Tim's 'real' dad? Somehow Bruce never found out because people only made backhanded remarks about it to Jack or were so vague he assumed it was about something else.

Does he eventually have to come clean about having a body double? Maybe it's why he tries to adopt Tim.

After the Drakes die, someone makes a remark about how Bruce having to own up to his bastard child. Bruce having no idea what they're talking about because Jack never told Bruce about the incident. He was too concerned with Maddie leaving him for cheating.

Ha! Yes.

Jason goes to attack Tim again. Tim, terrified and angry and hurt, shoving out his hands and-

-suddenly Jason is going through the wall on the opposite side of the room.

Jason is knocked unconscious.

Tim is left staring in shock at his outstretched hands.

Tim knows that if Bruce finds out he had enhanced strength, he'd either have Robin taken away or become very, very limited in what he can do; because a meta with super-strength on fear toxin?

Bruce would never allow the risk.

So he spends the next fifteen minutes tying Jason up and trying to manhandle an unconscious Conner down the stairs. By the time he manages to pull himself together enough to reach out to Bruce, Jason is starting to wake up.

He manages to beg Conner to pretend that he was the one to knock Jason through the wall, and Conner, very bemused, agrees. While Bruce is interrogating Jason, who is alive and holy shit that appeared to be wayyyyyy less of a surprise to the Big Bad Bat than it should have been, Conner spirits Tim away for strength control training.

Then Conner dies and stuff happens, and when Conner comes back...there's no Tim.

Robin is some new kid, and there's no new vigilante in Gotham that he can find, and he's starting to get a little concerned?

Takes some asking around, but eventually he gives in and just pinpoints Tim's heartbeat.

After Jack died Tim had gone to Bruce, but when Bruce had died he'd vanished, and temporarily come back as Red Robin just long enough to tell everyone how to get Bruce back, and then just disappeared again.

He'd gone to his biological father, Jack Fenton, and gotten officially adopted. Taken in? Whatever the official term is. Tim is now Timothy Jackson Drake-Fenton; he completely nixed Wayne from his name.

Not that he had a grudge or anything; just that Wayne was a very recognizable name and it had to go if he was going to move on. He's still open for contact, but he won't be the one initiating it.

His hero moniker is Rook, and he now specializes in both occult matters and normal hero matters. He is a fantastic bridge between JLA and JLD; if someone isn't sure if what they're dealing with is paranormal Rook is the first one they contact.

Demons hate him, because he almost always outsmarts them in contract deals. John hates him, because Tim single-handedly owns every single piece of his soul now. Danny adores him, because he has an older brother who was trained by the goddamn Batman and is super cool omg.

The government fucking despises him.

Rook, within one week after his debut, dismantled the GIW and exposed every single politician that had backed them for misconduct, forcing a lot of resignations.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah this got away from me.

Your brain, I like it.

Okay, what if we combine the "Danny is Bruces bio child he didn't know about" with "Danny is dating Tims clone that Tim didn't know about" and "Danny now lives in the IR after shenanigans happen that prevent him from living in his home dimension"

So, Bruce nearly has a heart attack from finding out he has another bio son out there, Tim freaks out about having a clone and being a father, they both have simultaneous heart attacks after they learn they were dating eachother and have to sit down.

Half the family is practically having aneurysms over these kids and the other half is making fun of the fist half. Then they start learning about Dannys crappy childhood and whatever fresh hell the clone went through and suddenly they're not laughing anymore.

Danny at some point yells "You're not my dad!" to Bruce and the bats comfort him in thier own ways

Featuring: Danny renouncing his humanity and staying in his ghost form 24/7 which is suuuuper unhealthy, clone Tim being clingy, gratuitous handholding, Danny and Tim Jr being cute as f, arson, those last two not being mutually exclusive, Danny and Tim Jr exploring ghost cities, accidentally triggering Jason's ptsd, clown murder, cornhobbling, the whole bat family trying to adopt a pair of children who don't want to be adopted and are living out a romance novel in the most dramatic explody way possible, and so much more :D

Bait And Switch

Danny and Tim switch bodies at different times. The reasons why this happens are up to you.

To be honest, Tim is kinda really into it, because now he has Jazz to fuss over him when he's Danny. Danny, meanwhile, really, really wants to run away from the Drake family home; not that anyone would notice, since Tim's parents aren't around, like, 98% of the time.

Anyway, Danny getting Tim to Amity Park would definitely be a plus. The only thing that goes against that plan is that the Gotham superheroes keep catching him and retrieving him back to the Drake's empty house.

Also, oops! Now the vigilantes have noticed the lack of parental presence and want to bring him/Tim into their house.

(Danny is never getting Tim home, isn't he?)

So, um… I was inspired and my hands slipped?

First off is my slight twist to the original prompt:

Now let there be a whatever type of fic this qualifies as under the cut.

Tyrant's End

After Pariah Dark's defeat, the wearer of the Ring of Rage is King - and, unfortunately, in this case, that's Vlad.

Because life sucks absolutely, Danny has to put up with being the "Prince", as Vlad's designated heir. Another person who is dragged into this mess is his mother, who was snatched from their home in the pretense of Vlad and Maddie giving their "relationship" a try.

Neither Danny or Maddie knew what became of Jack and Jazz, much to the alarm of both.

Escaping was always the plan, but not to Amity Park where Ghosts carried out Vlad's will and his authority as Major still went unquestioned. Going back there was akin to asking to be kidnapped again.

No. Instead, Danny and Maddie give alerting the Justice League a try and they begin their cry for help in a very literal way.

They call for Superman.

I imagine Danny uses a bit of his wail when calling for Superman. Just make their cry for help stand out more.

So suddenly Clark hears a haunted and pained cry calling for help. Unfortunately while the ghostly echo of the wail helps ensure he hears it, it also makes it a bit harder for him to pinpoint where it’s coming from.

Clark doesn’t know who called for him or where they are, but he is determined to find whoever is calling out so desperately.

Red Hood's King -- DCxDP prompt

Everyone does this whole 'Jason sees Ghost King!Danny and immediately feels 'this is my king' ' and it's all awesome

But I think we can agree that Jason has... a small problem with authority figures.

So Hood meets Phantom -- maybe a summoning, a Justice League thing, what ever.

And gets that 'this is my king' feeling.

Jason, who has been fighting the pits for years and now suddenly has ANOTHER 'lets magically fuck with Jason's emotions' thing, is not going to be easily overwhelmed by a need to bow down and is not going to take this calmly.

Everyone is stunned into silence when, in the middle of whatever thing they are gathered to deal with, Hood stalks up to Phantom, punches him in the face saying "I don't have a fucking king." and walks out.

Discuss

If we go with 'Fighting is just a part of ghost culture' and 'prove yourself by combat' stuff

To Danny this is just a normal, even friendly, greeting. It's like Jason (baby ghost) just said "Hi! I'm strong and brave enough to challenge you! Be my friend?"

Yeah, solid.

What if we actually have Constantine be the one who understands at least enough about ghost culture to realize that what Jason did was the ghostly equivalent of Kindergartners deciding they're best friends 5 minutes after meeting each other. So it's less panicked sputtering and more holding back hysterical laughter trying to explain that Jason just asked the Ghost King to be his friend.

Especially good if Danny gives the appropriate ghost response and throws his own punch back, obviously scaled to Jason's power level cause Danny doesn't want to break the baby. He matches the energy just right that in Ghost culture it would read as "Yes! You are so strong! I'm strong too! We are friends now!"

Obviously this upsets any present Bats, which definitely confuses Danny because 'He [Jason] instigated???'

So now Constantine gets to explain to a bunch of defensive Bats that not only did Jason ask the Ghost King to be friends like a toddler, the Ghost King accepted.

John sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Great. He had to explain ghost culture to the batclan. Just fucking great. They looked all kinds of upset. EBen though Phantom had been polite, even wit Hood's display. He sighed again and clapped his hands together to get their attention.

John: Okay. So, Hood over there? Counts as a revenant. Which means he has ghost instincts and shit right.

Batman: How does this explain the Ghost King retaliating to the hit?

John: I'm gettin' there! Fuck. Ok, so ghosts are.... Combatative. Hood basically initiated a feiendship. Phantom accepted it.

Batman: Excuse me?

John: Well Phantom could have destroyed him yeah? He tailored his strength to match the hit he received. It was his way of showing he is also strong. And accepting the offer of friendship.

Red Robin: Why is that important?

John: Ghosts can't die yeah? So the strongest are in charge cause they have to be. To keep order. So strength is respected. And they frequently throw doan in friendly bouts yeah?

Red Robin: Fascinating. So Hood in ghost terms was showing he was strong enough to make a good friend and sparring partner?

John: Yup.

Batman: And this is a good thing?

John: Well Phantom is still pretty young ya know. So he remembers being human well enough to uh, fit in a bit better. And he is the strongest. so he makes for a good friend or ally.

Red Hood: But... That's not what I meant?

John: Welp. Tough luck. Too late now. He's probably gonna start tracking you down for brawls soon enough. Who knows. Might even be able to help with your uh, anger issues.

Batman: Wait, how is that connected?

John: Well if I'd have known Hood was a recent I'd have suggested a trip to see a ghost sooner. They can help with that sort of shit.

Red Hood: So I'm not a zombie then? What the fuck!

John: Yeah sorry mate. Good luck with your new friend.

Tim gets possessed by a demon.

The only one who appears to realize something is off is Jason.

Jason then spends the next three weeks trying to convince the other Bats that something is Wrong with Tim, but no one seems to believe him.

Three weeks of various shenanigans, three weeks of the demon trying to be evil and failing every time due to strange circumstances, and finally culminates in the Demon cornering Jason and begging to be banished.

After all is said and done, Jason hauls an unconscious Tim to the Cave, ready to shout himself hoarse because literally what the fuck.

Only to be met with "oh, the possession ended already?"

Apparently Tim's specific contingency plan for Demonic possession is to "let the demon TRY to live my life and see how they like it".

Hes been possessed four time, and it's worked every time.

Ra’s Al Ghul: Something is different about you, young detective.

Demon possessing Tim: yesss.

Ra’s Al Ghul: Have you taken up yoga? Mediation? New Diet? You seem nicer. Doesn’t matter. Your hesitation will be your downfall.  

...

Titans: Tim. Tim! Tim!

Demon: trying to sneak around the building and cause destruction and mayhem.

Titans: Tim. We’re activating your 36 hours without sleep protocol. Your sneaking is getting clumsy.

Demon: Noooo.

Titans: Carrying him to bed. 

...

Bruce [fully aware this is a demon and giving him old, already solved work]: Tim, you haven’t finished your work for this week. Here are the new case files. If you can’t keep up, we’ll have to take some extra time for training this week.

Demon: Has flashback to the 5 hour obstacle course Dick made him run “For Fun.”

Demon: I’ll get to work.

...

Demon: Bruce. Damian is following me around sharpening his knives?

Bruce: And he isn’t stabbing you? How sweet! I’m so glad you two are spending time together without hurting each other. 

...

Tim, upon his return: Damian. Why didn’t you attack the demon?

Damian: I don’t go after weak prey. And his company was much more palatable than your own.

Tim: Awww. You think I’m stronger than a demon.

Escaped clone au

You know all those fics where Danny and Damian are twins but everyone first assumes Danny must be a clone? How about an au where Danny is Damian's clone who escaped the League after he was assumed dead. Damian could even have been the one to have "killed" him, back when Danny was a newly created, fully brainwashed clone minion and trying to kill Damian himself.

Danny gets adopted by the Fentons and canon goes on as normal, until Dan. Witnessing what would happen to the world should he turn evil really drove home to Danny how dangerous he is.

Even if he was confident he could be trusted with his absurd amount of power (which he isn't), what if the League of Assassins found out about him? Does he still have programming triggers from his evil assassin clone conditioning?

So, Danny does the responsible thing: he goes to Batman to turn himself in.

Cue Danny showing up on Bruce's doorstep with ghost hunting equipment, intel on the afterlife, and an almost unbelievable backstory. Somehow he still managed to be more well-adjusted than Damian.

More thoughts under the read more

Danny didn't want to be here, but it wasn't as if he had a lot of other options. He didn't know how to contact any other Justice League heroes, and this one, at least, would take him seriously. Probably. Damian, at least, would take him seriously. So seriously that Danny doubted he would be walking away from this without a stab wound.

Luckily, Danny wasn't the kind of person to die because of a stab wound. Or anything, really. Which was kind of the reason he was here.

He sucked his lips in as he stared at the gates. He was far enough down the street from them that there probably weren't any cameras picking him up, but only probably, because the people he was dealing with were insane. And Danny knew insane. From a couple of different perspectives, even.

Again, this was part of the problem.

Bruce scanned the clone in front of him again. He wasn't identical to Damian, no, and the League of Assassins wasn't above modifying the clones they made, but Bruce couldn't immediately see any reason for that particularly worrying statement.

Behind him, Duke cleared his throat. "Uh, no. No, that's not normal."

"But for you guys," said Danny. "For you, it's normal."

By the time Danny finished 'explaining,' everyone was sitting, even Damian. Although it might be better to say that Damian was perched.

"I think that's pretty much everything relevant," said Danny, lacing his fingers together. "So... are we good? Do you believe me?"

Honestly, for Dick, the hardest part of all of this to believe was that a clone of Damian somehow wound up with Danny's mannerisms. The fidgeting, the stuttering, the slang, actually volunteering information while being unable to deliver it with any concision... Yeah. It was weird. Especially since Danny did more or less have Damian's face.

"Well," said Tim, draping himself sideways over the arms of the armchair. "There's someone out there who makes bad death puns in Damian's voice. That's a thing we know, now."

Danny had just left, had even invited them to put a tracker on him, in addition to the trackers they'd already slipped on him. Not that it was really necessary. They already knew where he lived.

Jason's early morning brooding has been interrupted by the sound of loud chewing. He quickly looked over to see a boy eating a sandwich on the other end of the roof.

Upon making eye contact the boy finished his bite before saying, "Just for the record I was here first."

Impossible. Jason would have definitely noticed a kid hanging out on the roof. Especially one as obviously adoption bait as this one.

Jason rested his hand on his gun holster before barking, "Who are you?"

"Geez don't get your panties in a twist," the boy said, taking another bite of his sandwich. "Noff tha I blame you though. Muss be hard wiff all tha gunk in you."

"What does that mean?" Jason growled, his hand tightening around his gun.

The boy looked at him in pity. "Wow, you don't know? Life must have been rough for you."

"Last chance. Who. Are. You?"

Jason was about two seconds away from shooting first and asking additional questions later when the boy finished off the last two bites of his sandwich and got up, dusting off his pants.

"Relax buddy," he said. "Listen because I'm such a kind soul, I'll take care of that for you."

"Huh?" was all Jason managed to get out before the boy was right in front of him, reaching into his chest. The boy pulled out a weird green glob with a smile.

"There. All better!" he chirped.

Jason didn't even have time to process what just happened before the boy walked towards the ledge and jumped off.

His mind snapped into focus at that and he lunged towards the ledge, hoping to save the boy before he hit the ground, only to find there was no one in the alley below.

Jason couldn't help but just stare blankly, his thoughts reeling. What the hell just happened?

How would Jason even explain this after he realized the pit madness was gone.

Jason: Okay, so a kid reached his hand into my chest, stole the pit madness and jumped off the roof

Everyone's going to think he's crazy especially if we go with Danny's presence messing up audio and video recordings.

Jason was hallucinating. He had to be.

How else could he explain seeing a kid, the repl-Tim, a kid Tim's age sitting on the roof eating a sandwich, reaching into his chest without him feeling so much more than a tickle, and pulling out a ball of, essentially Lazarus Water, glowing green gunk from it, before throwing himself off the roof like he was a rag doll, only for there to be nothing to show.

No body, no debris, no sounds or signs of flight.

Nothing.

It's like the kid didn't exist.

Except the section of time his helmet camera and com unit were nothing but static and didn't record anything, and he hadn't been this calm and at ease since, well.

Since before he woke up and head to claw his own way out of his grave.

DC X DP Prompt #4

It turns out that one of the things Danny inherited from Bruce was his need to make contingency plans.

Or: Danny's family finds out that he has contingency plans for all of them, including if Danny turns evil and how to permanently stop him

Bruce feels a certain way when he finds out his son has a plan to basically commit suicide.

The thing about contingency plans is that they're only any good when you can follow through on them. It's why Bruce doesn't keep many contingencies for his kids. He knows, deep down, if it came to an ultimatum, his kids or the world, he'd choose his children. And when he teaches his kids about contingencies, he makes sure to drill this in to them from the start. Rule #1 of contingency planning: Don't make contingencies you can't follow through.

When the Bats find Danny's contingency files only to discover that his contingencies for all of them are *that*, it's kind of heartwarming. Knowing that their baby-est brother loves them too much to truly fight them. A bit worrying too, in this line of work, where mind control or possession is more of a when than an if; but still nice. They can work on it.

What's not nice is the file he has on himself. In fact, it's downright disturbing.

Bruce wasn't sure what to think of the files he had found on Danny's nightstand when he went looking for his newest son.

It was almost terrifying.

The one Danny had on the rest of them were simple. Trap with bait.

But what Danny had on himself . . .

Complete list of powers and every way to stop them.

Blueprints for a tech that could be modified into what looked like a collar that would make a barrier between Danny and his core. Completely remove his powers any farther than keeping him alive.

A list of drugs and poisons that wouldn't work on him. But a list of what would, which includes a type of flower, the effects it had, and specific geotags to the few places in the world it still grew.

A phone number and other contact information that was labeled; GIW - will hunt me down if need be, last resort, doesn't care about consequences or property damage if need be

The code to the safe in his closet of ecto-radium which would destroy the ecto in his body quicker than Danny could replenish it.

A tiny note that simply said; anything involving electricity causes PTSD related paralysis.

Bruce stopped looking any further through the file after that, barely able to stomach the fact that Danny had written down so many things for himself. Especially since Bruce's first lesson was only write out plans you are willing to use, and Danny's only detailer one was on himself.

He dropped the folder back on the nightstand and practically ran out of the room. He needed to find Danny quickly, just in case.

New City, New Name, Who the Fuck is This?

When Danny had been forced to ditch his dimension, life, name, and home, he'd set his sights on a place so far removed from what he was used to, and a name he was so far removed from, that he would never be reminded of what he left behind.

With Clockwork's help, he constructed a fake Identity, got himself a decent three bedroom apartment, and settled into Gotham. Sure it was a shit hole, a terrible place full of terrible people, but it was so infested with crime that fulfilling his obsession could be easily achieved without ever going ghost.

So he settled in, laid back, and used his first few months to enjoy his new life and adjust. With his coffers as High King, he doesn't have to work, he just fashioned himself an ID as a trust fund baby and moved forward.

Then he gets a knock on his door.

It's Child Protective Services.

They're looking for Eddie Daniel Drake, his new identity. Apparently, his nephews last living parent died and Eddie was listed as the next in line to get the kid.

Problem

This is a fake Identity.

He doesn't have a brother who recently died, and he certainly doesn't have a nephew.

Which means that someone falsified documents, and the're trying to get to the kid.

So.

Shit.

Danny has a kid now.

And given how weirdly attached Bruce Wayne is, and how connected that guy is, he's kinda starting to think that maybe Mr. Wayne has something to do with the falsified documents.

The thing is, the kid is tiny, even in photographs.

Danny's human instincts are blaring, let alone his ghostly ones, which are already booming klaxlons of findprotectdefend and he agrees to meet the kid before he's even fully aware of exactly what it means for him to be doing this.

Whoever's after him is good, to have things set up so well, so quickly after the kid's, Tim's, parents deaths. It probably couldn't compare to the work done by the collective administration of the Infinite Realms and the God of Time for his documents, but the fact that it came pretty damn close was...worrying.

In any case, it's fine. It should be fine. He's already kind of a dad right? And he's surely faced worse than a ten year old orphan.

Sure Danielle ended up more of a sister than a daughter, but again, this kid was already a couple years grown! Had a chronologically experienced life and everything!

How hard could it be?

Tim is very confused. He... Was pretty sure those details were meant to be fake? But he accidentally forged documents to this random stranger.

a random stranger who immediately agreed to take him in. Clearly knowing this was fake. Just because he was a kid who needed help. Which is... A bit mind boggling really.

sojfchjfksjxhd accidental identity unfraud 🤣 Please Tim would try to flee as quickly as possible, realize that fleeing leaves him vulnerable to Being Cared About by Bruce, and then run back the way he came so that at least Batman doesn't have to be emotionally involved sjhxhxjsjdbbdh. I'm dying.

“Red Hood has been more efficient as of late… I wonder?”

these ones

oh we can get even more specific than just a list of billionaires:

here are all of the scum who control oil, coal, and natural gas

here are the ones who run the factories

and here are the ones who extract the raw resources that the others need to make it all work

23,000 people are reblogging a hit list

Good.

I have never reblogged faster in my life

Danny, homeless and hungry on the streets of Gotham, smells Condiment King and attacks him mid fight with the bats. At this point Danny is half feral from hunger and CK is yelling as this random kid steals all his stuff. The bats quickly lose track of this kid, partially because of thier own laughter.

Or

Dannys already having a hard time in Gotham. He wasn't sure how he got here and Clockwork is either ignoring him or can't hear him so he has to figure something out on his own.

Que Condiment King repeatedly destroying every place he tries to live (usually by accident or by being caught in the crossfire of this rouges fights) eventually Danny loses his cool and creates his own food themed hero/villian. That's right.

Pepsi-man

Of course Pepsi exists in the DC universe (maybe not, but it does now cause I say so) and with it the ye old commercials or Pepsi-man- Pepsi's failed mascot- also exist.

So whenever Pepsi-man appears people are in disbelief and go "Pepsi-man?!" And are baffled. Danny of course isn't that ripped...or tall...or an adult...but his parents were evil mad scientists and he and Jazz were raised from a young age to be thier heirs in a way. So naturally he made a robotic exoskeleton to pilot around. That was Pepsi-man. Danny never speaks as Pepsi-man, and uses exaggerated body language and gestures to get his point across.

Ya know.

Whenever he's not actively making Condiment King eat dirt.

I want people to know that there is, apparently, a Pepsigirl (also known as The Running Heroine) whose powers are enhanced speed, pepsi summoning, and time pause for some reason. She only appeared in like one pepsi commercial where she kept getting mistaking for pepsiman. (I can't find the actual commercial) The point I'm trying to make here is that Dani would love to have a pepsi themed robot to pilot.

I am just frothing at the mouth at the idea of Danny and Ellie being Pepsiman and Pepsigirl

And combined with the other reblogs mentioning Constantine, I just imagine the image of 2 Extremely Muscular Walking Pepsi Ads, turning to look at Constantine.

They just. Pause. In the middle of their Beatdown and simultaneously do a slow head turn to look at Constantine.

And, for the first time in the MONTHS since they showed up, they say one thing at the exact same time. "PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES!"

Before they both drop CK and start Officer Earl Running at him.

John would get within a few metres of them and just, nope right out of there.

John: Bats, you uh. Your two new, uh, problems?

Batman: The Pepsi's?

John: Yeah they are NOT human. Or not all human. And uh. I have no idea how to get rid of em.

Batman: What?

John: Godlings. I don't know what you did, but you have two godlings in Gotham. Though given the suits I think they are annoyed but not murderous. If they wanted to kill that guy he would be less than a smear.

Batman: Ok, so I have godlings, wait. Not gods?

John: Bats! NO! You cannot even THINK about adopting Godlings! Diana would be good. But they are GODLINGS!

Batman: Hmmm

John: ... You know what. fuck it. I've told you. bye.

In the batcave.

Bruce: I have some new information on Pepsiman and girl. According to Constantine they are Godlings. That makes it more important that we get them off the streets and into a good home.

Dick: B, NO! Tell Diana. Do you really think Gotham can handle two godlings long term?

Jason: Gotham can handle anything. Anyway, Lady Gotham already blessed 'em. She uh, paid me a visit.

Tim: You got to meet Lady Gotham!

Jason: Yup, She likes me. I'm proper Gotham y'see.

Imagine if Tim and Jason are the ones who finally get to meet Danny, and he admits that he based his hidden costume off of Jason having a mask under the helmet. They both are really just so Extra.

Jason: Well. What did I say little Red. Always plan ahead.

Tim: That! Is. Just. Both of you. Unnecessarily dramatic! I swear! And, I told you not to call me that!

Danny: Me, dramatic? Le gasp. Much offense. How dare!

Jason: I'll never stop calling you names. And yes you. Who made a Pepsi man much suit. And waited for the perfect moment.

Danny: Drinking that can of coke was pretty good.

Tim: It was excellent. How did you plan that?

Danny: I just had one next to my arm at all times. For the moment to arrive.

Tim: I... Have to respect your commitment to the bit.

Jason: I do too. Well done. So what's your need with CK anyway?

Danny: I'm homeless. I frequently tired and hungry from scrounging enough bits to make machines for money. He broke 5 houses, 7 warehouses and ruined 15 meals. In one month.

Jason: Shit kid. No wonder you got pissed at him. Why the get up?

Danny: It fit the theme. .

Tim: A master of committing to the bit. So. How did you make the suit?

Danny: Aww man. It was such a pain! I did find a good base to sleep in though. I finally have up on trying to live above ground. I found an old bunker near where Mr Jones lives. Set up a base. Searched high and low in every dumpster and trash heap for the bits and tools I needed.

Jason: You live near Croc?

Danny: Hey! He's a perfectly reasonable neighbour.

Tim: He is? How did you manage that?

Danny: Cause I'm not a Dick to him? Not that hard.

Danny, homeless and hungry on the streets of Gotham, smells Condiment King and attacks him mid fight with the bats. At this point Danny is half feral from hunger and CK is yelling as this random kid steals all his stuff. The bats quickly lose track of this kid, partially because of thier own laughter.

Or

Dannys already having a hard time in Gotham. He wasn't sure how he got here and Clockwork is either ignoring him or can't hear him so he has to figure something out on his own.

Que Condiment King repeatedly destroying every place he tries to live (usually by accident or by being caught in the crossfire of this rouges fights) eventually Danny loses his cool and creates his own food themed hero/villian. That's right.

Pepsi-man

Of course Pepsi exists in the DC universe (maybe not, but it does now cause I say so) and with it the ye old commercials or Pepsi-man- Pepsi's failed mascot- also exist.

So whenever Pepsi-man appears people are in disbelief and go "Pepsi-man?!" And are baffled. Danny of course isn't that ripped...or tall...or an adult...but his parents were evil mad scientists and he and Jazz were raised from a young age to be thier heirs in a way. So naturally he made a robotic exoskeleton to pilot around. That was Pepsi-man. Danny never speaks as Pepsi-man, and uses exaggerated body language and gestures to get his point across.

Ya know.

Whenever he's not actively making Condiment King eat dirt.

I want people to know that there is, apparently, a Pepsigirl (also known as The Running Heroine) whose powers are enhanced speed, pepsi summoning, and time pause for some reason. She only appeared in like one pepsi commercial where she kept getting mistaking for pepsiman. (I can't find the actual commercial) The point I'm trying to make here is that Dani would love to have a pepsi themed robot to pilot.

I am just frothing at the mouth at the idea of Danny and Ellie being Pepsiman and Pepsigirl

And combined with the other reblogs mentioning Constantine, I just imagine the image of 2 Extremely Muscular Walking Pepsi Ads, turning to look at Constantine.

They just. Pause. In the middle of their Beatdown and simultaneously do a slow head turn to look at Constantine.

And, for the first time in the MONTHS since they showed up, they say one thing at the exact same time. "PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES!"

Before they both drop CK and start Officer Earl Running at him.

Danny should also bring cujo into the fun imagine the newest member of the Pepsi family Pepsi mutt or Pepsi hound perhaps

Lancer Vs. Susiezilla! I like their friendship so I just had to make this silly animation with them. All made with Blender! ♠️
