Wayne Vs Fenton 3

start of the madness

pls note I'm putting these numbers in as "what I have written." They're not gonna necessarily be in order. I hope to make a full fic to put on AO3. In the interim, here's stuff I wrote in general as it strikes me in the moment. This bit is from Tim's perspective after Damian and Danny Are Friends become a known quantity in the Wayne household. ~*~

Damian making friends didn’t make sense. Everyone else felt complacent in simply accepting it. Tim wasn’t. Considering his upbringing, autonomous socializing wasn’t part of Damian’s personality. Nor was how calm and patient the former assassin child became with all of his siblings, Tim included. Damian himself insisted he and this “Danny” were friends. Hell, Damian even called the kid by a nickname. Not his last name, not “Daniel.” His actual, preferred nickname. Tim was suspicious and instantly began investigating. Daniel “Danny” Fenton, age 15, moved to Gotham two months ago from Amity Park, Illinois with his godfather and temporary guardian, Vlad Masters, former mayor of Amity Park, head of Vladco Industries, and heir to Wisconsin’s Self Proclaimed Dairy King’s fortune. Child of Jack and Madeline Fenton, doctors of something called ectobiology, former college classmates of Vlad Masters, and founders of FentonWorks, a cottage research facility that developed antighost (Ghosts? Really?) weaponry and equipment. Brother of Jasmine Fenton, currently a student of Yale in their psychology undergraduate program, and already a shoe-in for the Dean’s list. Honestly, of all the people related to him, Danny ended up being the least interesting. Middling grades that dropped in high school along with attendance. That was probably what led to his coming to Gotham. A set of brilliant - if evidentially weird - parents and a rich and involved godfather doing what they could to help their faltering son to succeed by sending him to one of the top schools on the east coast. There was evidence that Amity Park itself had some apparently minor meta vigilante protecting it, but searches for “Phantom” turned up nothing in the Justice League’s database, suggesting whomever this was might be an actual ghost like Deadman and, thus, restricted to access by those with JLD clearance. Tim put aside that issue for later. He could just ask B for privileges later. Besides, the only information he found on this vigilante was on a few amateur fansites and local papers. No major news sites or government listings. It couldn’t be anything major. His focus remained on Daniel Fenton. Except, even when looking into the kid’s socials, there wasn’t anything interesting. He had a couple friends back in Amity, the most interesting of the two was Samantha Mason of the Mason family, though Tim already knew of her from various socialite dinners she looked ready to burn to the ground, pink and lacey dress or not. Her social media was full of activism, conservation movements, and calls for both veganism and something called ultra recycle vegetarianism. Tucker came from an average family of upper middle class parents, nothing odd there, though his social media showed his love of technology and ancient Egypt. Nothing strange there. Danny’s social media, besides his friends, included links to Nasa, occasional rambles about high school life, and, for some reason, a dog photoshopped to look green. From the replies of his few followers, it was an inside joke since they all cooed over the dog and didn’t comment on the green. Again, nothing strange. Even the one time he managed to hack into Damian’s phone to see his messages yielded nothing. He and Danny would meet for what Danny called “playdates.” For some reason, Damian played along with a name Tim knew he’d scoff as childish and beneath him. Even that would be innocuous. One or the other would suggest meeting at various parks, arcades, even the observatory, negotiating dates and times, and that was it.

Danny was a normal kid. Damian was a born and bred assassin. Why in the actual fuck were these two friends? Nothing made sense. Everyone else was happy to ignore it because of the peace the irrationality before them instilled. Tim wouldn’t become complacent. Whatever Danny was hiding, he’d find it.

#danny phantom #here i go writing again #wayne vs fenton #dpxdc #Yup #Tim is missing shit #plz allow it for now for both plot reasons and because this is #so far #just a seed for the full story #also he's tunnel focused on Danny. Some Ghost Powered Meta isn't in his radar at the moment #especially one that's probably actually just a ghost protecting a small midwestern town and of such small significance #it's not even a major file in the JL database #OBVIOUSLY the JL must know about him. Thinking otherwise is silly #He'll just ask bruce to fill him in #Shoutout to One Look because I was like “What's a word for 'Self Initializing'?”#AUTONOMOUS

It’s a shame there isn’t any fandom around Autonomous by Annalee Newitz the way there is for Ancillary Mercy or Murderbot because it is a fantastic piece of robolit. Where else are you gonna have a robot taking out pharma pirates while also performing a sociological internet search on the word “f****t”

#autonomous #imperial radch #Murderbot #consider this a recommendation!#also normally I wouldn’t censor that #but I’m tagging it for other fans

I'd recommend Autonomous by Annalee Newitz for fans of The Murderbot Diaries who were particularly interested in the themes of ownership, personhood and identity, and corporate exploitation. The major difference is that it contains a bot/human romance but imo it's explored in a very interesting way, questioning the deliniation between genuine and programmed desire and if the distinction even matters.

The plot follows two main protagonists. The first is a rogue scientist named Jack who's a bit of a pharmaceutical Robin Hood and accidentally distributes a dangerous drug that causes addiction to work. The second is our robot friend Paladin, who's just been activated, paired with a human partner, and sent after Jack. There's a lot of fun, creative, and bleak cyberpunk and biopunk elements, and I found the characters and story really engaging.

Also, heads up that the romance is complicated and dubiously healthy, but please do not try to cancel this nonbinary author for depicting a taboo relationship further complicated by internalized homophobia and transphobia. Depiction is not endorsement and the (again) NONBINARY author is not trying to endorse transphobia.

Final note, you have some common triggers, you may want to look up a list for this book. I'd also be happy to tell you if any specific trigger warnings apply.

“Moon Dance” Limo Tender,

On the occasion of the Monaco Yacht Show 2022, Klissarov Design reveals a limousine tender boat concept carrying up to 11 guests.

Being autonomous, it incorporates a folding AI sensor turret in its bow right behind the compartment of the automatic anchor deployment system. Like on a see-through caseback luxury watch piece, walking down the stairs, the guest can admire the specially designed hybrid powertrain based on the Volvo Penta D4/D6 Aquamatic DPI package.

The cabin features a variable opacity, star gazing roof supported by a structure and all the state of the art commodity in terms of comfort, convenience and practicality for the ride.
