Danny couldn't really explain why he always answered this specific summoning ritual. It was like a feeling. One of warmth. Of a mug of hot cocoa in your hands and a nice weighted blanket dropped around your shoulders as a fire blazed in the hearth in front of you, keeping the chill in the rest of the room at bay.

Danny always lost himself in the sensation and found himself back in that stupid circle of protection with that same wierd guy demanding answers. But Danny didn't know anything about a "Lazarus Pit" or a "Pit Madness" let alone a cure for it. Even if he did he wasn't going to tell Red Robin anything after all the times he'd used the marriage summoning spell to get him here.

Earlier on Red had explained it was the only spell known to thier universe that could summon an entity from "The Lazarus Dimension" Which he guessed was another name for the ghost zone and Phantom was the only one to ever be summoned.

Danny couldn't help but wonder why...

After escaping Bird boy and his supernatural pop quiz (oh look, another test for him to flunk) he returns home only to discover his parents had seen him get summoned and accused him of being a ghost that replaced thier baby boy.

Naturalally the next time Red Robin had summoned Phantom he was angry. He was tired and dirty from being on the run from his parents, his worlds US government, and Vlad. Not to mention his own rogues gallery didn't exactly cut him any slack.

So Danny decided that if Red Robin wanted to abuse the power of a marriage ritual than the very least he can do is put his money where his mouth is.

Danny grinned and exited the magic circle, taking delight in Reds widening eyes before he lunged. A kiss sealed the deal, making sure Danny had a safeish place to stay.

After all, married couples in the infinite realms were obligated and even compelled to protect and care for eachother.

You thought you knew what it was to fear.

Six years old, running, running from a sister whose sparking fingertips had shifted the world into those who have and those who have not. You thought that learning to run at the crackle of popping embers and jumping at the sight of one meant to be your truest ally was fear.

Eleven years old, a mother's desperate touch, words whispered in the night, then gone, gone, gone. You learned then that fear must be absence, the cold brought by the reality of being left with no one to stand between you and the flames.

Thirteen years old, finally standing, finally being heard, finally showing you were worthy to lead, worthy to be called son. You learned then that fear was fire. Pleading, crying, on your knees, fear was a father demanding respect and the knowledge that nothing short of impossibility could take that fear away.

Sixteen years old, hope spluttered into your heart and dared to take fear's hard worn place. You chased, you schemed, you fought, and impossible became possible. Perhaps this was how fear died.

But you did not know fear.

Sixteen years old, a twelve year old child running through the trees away from a stronghold you'd risked everything to save him from. Anger, you expected. Frustration, disappointment, the chorus of failure, failure, failure that never quite ended. But what you did not expect was the earth to move beneath your fist as you smacked the ground in frustration, the shifting of rock as if it were no more than water beneath your fingers.

But the water too betrayed you, as you ran back to the ship, back toward normalcy and the everyday sort of fear you thought you knew. Perhaps it was the anger, the frustration, the disappointment, but as you tried to loose the rowboat you'd so carefully hidden, the waves rather than the ropes responded to your touch.

It wasn't until you were alone in your room that you finally began to understand that you had never known anything at all about fear. Perhaps it was the delusion brought about by lack of sleep, irritation, or a hundred other things, but in that fateful moment you looked at the space between your fingertips and tried the impossible.

A faulty hatch was easy to blame for the gust of wind that roared through your room, ripping open doors and scattering your careful collection of scrolls across the room. But it could not be blamed for what grew inside your heart as you began to wonder.

Sixteen years old, sitting shell shocked between the remains of your honor, your purpose, your sense of self. Somehow, you had gotten it wrong, everyone had gotten it wrong, and now here you were, with the earth sliding at your feet, the water pulling at your arms, the air dancing between your fingertips, and the fire dying inside your heart.

Fear was not sisters or fathers, not failure or duty, not even a burned face and its shattered honor.

Sixteen years old, and now Zuko knew that fear was hope. And hope might be the one thing that finally shattered him.

Oh hey ya'll- just a lil Zuko is the Avatar story I've been working on that I of course had to draw! Let me know what you think? Should I write it all out (an outline does exist 🙃)?

two things my brain just made me suffer with, and so naturally I'm making it everyone else's problem <33

Buck's gotta be panicking - not just from the wtf of it all, and the where's Bobby of it all, but also with the idea that his weight is pushing on already cracked glass, and if he doesn't move carefully he could not only fall and kill himself, but he could fall through glass and hurt Hen. That the slightest movement could jar the precarious ambulance and hurt Chimney in the back, as well as impact on Eddie in the van that the ambulance is pinned against.

and secondly; imagine if Hen -- who's linked-trauma is being in an ambulance-crash already -- wakes up, still groggy from a likely concussion, and sees the familiar cracked windshield, blood visible in the spiderwebbed cracks, and for a second she's back at that intersection again--the lights were green the lights were green--but this time, it's Buck she think she's hit.

my god.

I've finally finished the first chapter of this beast. In short, it's a reimagining of one of the many variations of the kitchen encounter in Chapter 10, and the consequences of one person's actions triggering a...butterfly effect, if you will.

What if Kaitlyn fucked up and got Dylan killed there?

What if he inexplicably woke up like nothing had happened?

Better heed the warnings on this one; it's a doozy.

Enjoy!

Redesigns round 5! more random bunches

Nicole Khode:

Local town sheriff, she helps protect everyone with her partner, Shard. Very much a no nonsense type, she prefers to get things done as efficiently and with as little mistakes as possible. Unlike her partner, she fusses over the minor details and often judges herself too harshly, but the more lax nature of Shard helps ease her worries most times.

Shard (last name pending):

He's actually a Tenrec, but thanks to being stuck halfway transformed into a werebeast, he has a more wolfish appearance about him. He's a soft, fun loving guy but takes his job seriously when need be, his partner, Nicole will be that extra push of seriousness should she think he's being too laxed or lazy. He loves food, like really loves food, like you could easily become his best friend if you gave him a burger or something.

Scourge (last name pending):

Self proclaimed "King of Onyx city", this ex gangster left his gang to raise his adopted son, Manic many years ago. He's still pretty infamous as even though he left his old gang behind, he still manages to find his way into fights due to his reputation. Even with his more violent "pass-time", with the help of an unlikely friend, Scourge actively tries to be a good parent to his son as a way to make peace with his own horrible up bringing.

"I might be broken but, I'm not gonna break him too."

Metal (Metal Sonic):

Former police dog, Metal was experimented on following a fatal accident. The resulting modifications helped him recover but was deemed "No longer suitable for service" and was dumped to the streets to live life as a stray. Bitter from abandonment, Metal eventually settled in Emerald valley, claiming a spot away from the town to call his own away from others where he plans to waste away, not having much else to live for. He likes to chase Sonic when the speedster gets too close however, Sonic would take the hint and leave him alone but he swears it brings a liveliness back to his eyes.

fintan pyren aesthetic because insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting the different results

Go on then, Icarus! Take your turn! You always fly right up until it burns! Your wings you never could change, Always the victim, Into the flames again!

Go on then, Icarus! Take your turn! You'll never go through them.

“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”

“Be bad, but at least don't be a liar, a deceiver!”

With every battle we lose a little more, Remember everything that we'd die for-- You are everything that I'd die for!

“If you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison' it is certain to disagree with you sooner or later.”

When I was a child, I heard voices Some would sing and some would scream You soon find you have few choices I learned the voices died with me

Holy water cannot help you now! See, I've come to burn your kingdom down! And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out. I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out.

We've given the world, but we're the sacrifice The keys to the kingdom locked from our freedom

“First sign of madness, talking to your own head.”

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire.

My Aasimar and Teifling Buddy Comedy Brainworm: Backstory

I really wanna use my aasimar twilight domain cleric Belou and his buddy Mavvir for something again.

Belou's backstory is that he was raised in a remote idyllic town, and is decended from its revered founder.

The whole town is part of a religion that Belou's ancestor led, based off a holy book he found one night in his darkest hour of need. Belou's family are thus respected religious leaders.

He grew up with everyone having these huge expectations for him since he is the town's chosen one, a scourge aasimar fortold by prophecy to be the one who will wage holy war in their god's name against the infernal forces of the infernal and blasphemous outside world.

✨But here's the kicker✨

The holy book that Belou's ancestor found was actually written as a practical joke/creative writing exercise by a group of gods. The diety his whole town worships does not exist.

Mind you, other gods in this realm are very real and are liable to interfere with mortal lives for shits and giggles, but this one is pure fiction even in universe.

Needless to say, Belou has some issues from being raised in this environment.

So, our good man decides to see a bit of the world. Get an understanding of this wretched place he will one day wage holy war against. Totally not running away from the pressure he's being put under, no siree!

He's been away from home for about a week before he meets Mavvir, a young teifling scholar. Mavvir spends all of 10 minutes talking to Belou before going "Oh, that god? Yeah, they're not real. One of my cousins is in service to one of the gods who wrote that "holy" book and managed to get a copy that includes notes from the authors. Actually, lemme show you, we'll stop by my family's library."

Bam, his whole world view gets turned on its head. Mavvir's frankly outragiously large family sets him up with a nice room to have his breakdown in, and once he gets past the "my whole life is a lie and my entire town would happily see the world burn in the name of a god that never existed" thing he has an epiphany.

He can be just some dude. He can chill.

He's not even a scourge aasimar like his town thought, he's a protector. He could just... chill with his really nice new buddy Mav and see the world that he was kept from for so long. No more grand destiny. No more paladin training. No more crushing expectations. No bloody crusade of "holy justice". Just a guy living life and trying to spread good vibes with his bestie.

Cue Bel and Mav, riding off into the sunset to look at cool rocks and live out their epic bromance (romance?).

#ttrpg #my characters #character idea #aasimar #teifling #they live rent free in my brain #not sure if they're gonna be platonic or romantic but either way they are life partners #it's my brain and the nerdy teifling scholar is transmac if i say he is #do you see the vision here? #the potential for hijinks? #also angst #but mostly hijinks
