Hey, I dont know if you are currently acepting asks but... Please can you write something with Clockwork/Alfred? I'll give you a cookie?

I really love how you write and i cant find fics with this ship

Danny gets a cryptic message from Clockwork the night that he, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz are supposed to go on a three-week College tour road trip.

A trip that they were going to use to decide where the three graduating students planned on going to college. Jazz was coming along to ease their parents' worry, mainly as a voice of reason. She had taken time off of work and classes just to make this happen.

It had taken months to plan.

So cryptic messages put a damper on the mood. Granted, all notifications from Clockwork were cryptic, but that didn't make this any less stressful.

He had just sat by his bed, leaning his back onto his lower bed frame and mattress, when he noticed the glowing sticker note on the carpeted floor.

"What does it say?" Sam sighs, closing her suitcase. She was kneeling a few feet away from him, double-checking their luggage. "A warning about the trip? Insight of an upcoming trial? Oh, let me guess, one of us is pregnant?."

"It's me, isn't it?" Tuck asks from where he's lying on Danny's bed. He places a hand under his chin with a sigh. "I've noticed a glow in my reflection lately. Danny, you're the Father."

"Shut it, Tuck." Danny laughs, turning the glowing sticky note over. "It just has an address, a date, and a time. Nothing else. I think he wants us to go there when the day comes."

Jazz walks in carrying a tray. She insisted they all take some bedtime tea to help them get enough rest for the drive. She recently started making her own blends after much research and experimenting. Danny loves it and always begs for a jar of her tea whenever he visits her. "What's going on?"

"We have to add a stop to the road plan," Sam sighs. She takes the black mug covered in white laughing sculls, nodding in gratitude to the redhead. "In one week, we have to go to Gotham."

"That's doable. We'll be going through Bludhaven by then. We would use the following two days to go sightseeing a few cities over, but we can sacrifice one of them to head to Gotham instead." Jazz hums, mentally going over their planned-out map that she likely memorized.

Danny groans, carefully resting the black mug with white constellations on the floor beside him. "I really wanted to see the hot springs resort, though."

"Member next time, Danny." Tuck pats his head while his own black mug- this one with little game controllers- is held carefully in his other hand. "After the baby is born, we'll go again."

"Why are you stuck on the whole baby thing?"

"Danny, that's no way to speak to the father of your children, especially while he's carrying," Sam chided from her corner. "The stress is bad for the baby."

"Please stop."

"But Danny," Jazz cuts in, sitting across from him. She crosses her legs underneath her, and her black mug with white books completes the set. "You should be supportive of Tucker in this very delicate time."

"I'm going to Go Ghost and never come back."

"I knew you be a deadbeat dad," Tucker tsks.

The four burst into impish laughter; the ease of the teasing joke and the calming tea rekindled the mood of excitement, even with Clockwork's glowing sticky note being shoved into their luggage to be revisited in a week.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure this is the place?" Danny asks again, leaning forward to where Tucker is driving.

Jaz looks around in fascination at the large houses and spacious yards they pass while Sam sleeps beside Danny in the backseat. She just finished her turn driving for seven hours and wanted to catch up on sleep.

Personally, Danny thinks she shouldn't volunteer for the first shift- they set out at four in the morning to keep to their road plan- but he knows no one else would do it if Sam didn't.

Neither Fenton works well before nine a.m., while Tucker needs help seeing in the dark, so he always gets the day shift.

Tucker's grip on the steering wheel tightens as he grits through his teeth. "For the sixth time, Danny, this is where the GPS said to go. I am literally staring at the icon move on the map as I drive."

"It's just....look at this place! It's rich people. I think they call the cops on us for driving through here." Danny defends, knowing his consent doubts driving his bed friend up a wall but unable to stop fretting.

"I don't think they call the cops....but I think we should move as quickly as possible." Jazz advised as the houses started to grow in both size and property amount. "We're almost there."

"Why would Clockwork want us to come here?" Tucker hissed as their old beat-up fan made a turn into a road that had the trees cut into arches above their heads. It was so obviously fancy that the three got highly uncomfortable. Even Sam's house wasn't so drenched in wealth, and this was just the front entrance.

"Maybe he wants us to investigate a haunted mansion." Danny offers, "Since we're in the area and all."

Danny leans back in his seat. He glances over at Sam; upon noticing the blanket she was using had slid down, he reaches over to tuck her in.

It's just as he sits back that his enhanced sight catches the faintest outline of a man in the trees, crouched down on a branch and watching them. Danny's heart spams, but he has no time to react further as the van moves on and the man's figure disappears in the floral.

"Holy shit!" Danny swears loudly, causing Tucker to jump and tilt the van.

"Dude!" Tucker hisses, "Don't do that! You scared the shit out of me."

"Sorry, sorry." Danny places a hand over his heart, trying to calm the rapid beating. "I think I just saw a demon. Pretty sure that's what Clockwork wanted us to investigate."

"A demon?" Jazz whimpers, eyes flickering all over the trees with unease. "Are you sure it was a demon?"

"It looked liked like a one," Danny responds. "I highly doubt some guy will just go around dressed like a bat for fun."

" Great. Just great. A demon, that's going to be so much fun to deal with," Tucker complains, pressing on the gas more. They don't call him out as the feeling of being watched becomes suffocating.

The sooner they're out of the open, the better.

The end of the driveway opens up to a grand manor that would have made any noble Lord green with envy. Tucker drives around the giant fountain, pulling up to the park in front of the stairway of the main entry.

He squints out the front window as he loops before gasping. "Is that Clockwork?"

The Fenton Siblings each press their noses to the glass of their windows when they come to a complete stop. Both gasped at the exact same time and in the same volume at the man who was casually waiting for them at the door.

It's obviously Clockwork, but he's not in the form they are used to. Not the flouting child, not the sticking middle-aged man, or the aged old entity. No, the form Clockwork uses is a man in his early fifties, with the grace of a sliver fox and, oh, not a ghost.

"Hello, children," Clockwork says, walking down the stairs to meet them. The three are staring at him with slack jaws, half out of their vehicle but lingering in their doors just in case.

Sam snores.

"I'm ever so glad you have come." Clockwork continues, his green eyes flickering with mirth. A smile pulls at his lips, causing laughing lines to appear around his eyes, and it complements his warm bridge skin. He is not blue. "Not a moment too late. Punctual as ever, Jasmine."

"I- ugh, thank you, sir." Jazz shutters before getting her wits about her. "Why did you call us?"

"I will be delaying your trip for the next week." Clockwork lifts up a hand as if to stop any complaints this announcement may cause, which isn't really necessary, seeing as none of them can find the strength to speak. "I will, of course, make it possible to make up the time lost. I just need you four to act as my children for the next week."

"Why?" Tucker's voice is barely above a whisper.

"I can only keep this form for seven days, as I am not a halfa, but in that time, I hope to woo a man. He is a family man through and through, so if I can show him that I am more than capable of caring for a large family, it will help me in the long run." Clockwork then shrugs. "Plus, I need an anchor, and what better than four virgins?"

"Hey!" Danny shouts offended.

Clockwork raises a brow. "Am I wrong, Daniel?"

"No, but you didn't have to expose me like that," Danny grumbles.

"Who are you trying to woo?" Jazz asks, trying to steer the conversation back on track.

Clockwork's cheeks gain a reddish hue, and the three eyes practically pop out of their socket. They never knew the time god could be so...human. It's jarring. "Alfred Pennyworth. The butler of Wayne Manor, four houses down from our manor."

"A butler?" Tucker repeats slowly, "You, the god of time and overseer of all that is, has been, and will be, want to seduce a butler?"

"Yes. He is the love of my core," Clockwork nods determinedly.

Well, who can argue with that?

"Alright." Danny agrees. "So what's our cover story?"

"Yes, my four children- all adopted- and I have recently decided to go learn about our family roots and visit our ancestral home. Only to remodel and check out the family records, we will be out by the end of the week to our next grand adventure. We are old money but one that faded from importance due to lack of contact with the rest of high society. To remedy this, I will be taking you to high-class events." Clockwork sighs dreamily. "We were invited by the Waynes to a gala tomorrow night as a welcome-back party. There, I will see Alfred."

"Alright. And the demon?"

"Demon?"

"A man in the driveway that looked like a bat." Danny helpfully says, even though his voice wavers slightly.

"Oh, you mean Bruce. Yes, that's Alfred's son. Don't worry; he can not cross our driveway. I put a spell that causes humans to forget why they were coming here if not invited by us. Also, he is not a demon. He is a human who dresses like a bat to fight crime. Bruce's children dress like birds to help him."

There is silence that sounds louder than it should as they all take in this information. Clockwork smiles at him, mischievous and graceful in equal parts as they try to make sense of the weird kid Alfred the Butler has.

"I'm going to need a lot of stress-reducing teas for this week." Jazz sighs.

"We can go buy some for you tonight," Clockwork promises, pulling out a black card and grinning with all his teeth. "We're old money now, darling."

"oh my god."

Unironically think that each of the bros (+April) don’t actually get how impressive their feats really are so they just do what they do and on the off chance someone comments on those feats they all react like:

#rottmnt #tmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #no but really #I love thinking that they’re actually way more prideful about the stuff that does not even hold a candle to their other feats #like yeah Mikey can open a hole in the space time continuum but that’s nothing have you TRIED his manicotti?? #yeah Leo has outsmarted multiple incredibly intelligent and capable people AND knows how to rewire AI but eh did you hear his one liners? #donnie accidentally made regular animatronics sentient but that was an oopsie check out his super cool hammer instead #raph was able to fake his own death to save the entirety of New York and then be the one to bring about his brothers’ inner powers- #but forget about that did you know he can punch like a BOSS? #and April can survive and THRIVE against a demonic suit of armor alongside literal weapons of destruction as a regular human- #but her crane license is where it’s really at #(not to mention all the other secondary talents and skills these kids all just sorta have like - they are VERY CAPABLE) #honorable mentions in this regard go moments like #donnie ordering around an entire legion of woodland critters to create a woodsy tech paradise #or Leo being able to avoid an entire crowd’s blind spots in plain sight #and also being able to hold a pose without moving a millimeter while covered in paint and being transported no I’m NOT OVER THAT #Mikey casually being ridiculously strong and also knowledgeable enough about building to help Donnie make the puppy paradise for Todd #Raph literally led an entire group of hardened criminals like that entire episode was just #basically they’re all so capable???? #and at the same time prone to wiping out at the most inopportune of moments #love them sm

Searching my heart

Danny ended in a really weird situation, first of all he died, but not really, Sam & Tucker thought it would be more safe for him if the world thinks he died. And he agreed, first bad decision.

So, they set up everything, Tucker was in charge of deceive the government and doctors while Sam was in charge of creating a "potion" capable of making him inactive for a while and also simulate a purely red color for his blood, rendering his core and ectoplasm invisible before any more questions were asked. (She owed Frostbite and Undergrowth a favor)

Although he could stop his heart and all his vital functions, the sight of a medical wing and the doctors performing a supposed dissection on him would make him go into panic instantly and ruin everything, or made them analyze him further, showing the inhuman traits.

And maybe that was the problem, that Sam had to pretend to be a doctor and claim that she had already done the operation. But when it was time, everyone forgot that moment in their childhood where a 12-year-old Danny decided to be an "organ donor" to help do good in the world. And he forgot, the idiot.

When the doctors pushed Sam to deal with the "high priority" deceased who had donated his organs in perfect state. well, she couldn't do anything but watch as they removed her best friend's heart, lungs, liver, etc, by doing a grin. (At least he didn't agree in eye donation or something worse) Thank goodness the potion had rendered his core invisible or she would have been forced to murder.

The good part? The doctors were so concerned with moving the organs in time for the operations that they didn't check anything other than blood type and that it weren't decomposing, and Danny had his core so the organs would regrow, surely.

Worst part? Now they had to track ectoplasm filled organs to their receiver's and stabilize the ectoplasm before it saw them as invaders and kill them, or worse, evolve but since Danny was now legally dead he couldn't tell them why.

And yes, his organs wouldn't kill them instantly, maybe it would make them liminal and pretend to function normally for a while but they were HALFA organs it was dangerous to have them in uncontaminated humans, ¿was he creating a new human civilization? Damn

So now Danny was in Gotham, where his liver was being sold on the black market, and what the hell, Tucker, what do you mean you didn't do a background check of the hospital? The assholes sell half of his organs! (And no Sam, is not fun)

At least Gotham was close to the hospital, so the majority of the receiver's should be close, innocent or not; now the question was how did you tell Red Hood that you had to interrogate people on the black market to found your own heart and extras or a whole new human species would be born? And half of this new species would be filled with criminals or corrupted people who buy organs IN THE BLACK MARKET

Really, so much for a good action...

#danny phantom #dp x dc #danny fenton #dc x dp #red hood #batman #prompt #Danny needs to check before plan #He is now legally dead #But his organs are all over Gotham #Now he need to find the people he donated #Some are good and he didn't want them dead #The other half are black market criminals #jason todd #This is a vivissection but at least he didn't feel it #sam mason #tucker foley #faking your death goes wrong a Danny Fenton guide to introduce a new human species #When he wake up all his organs were there #But Sam and Tucker explained the situation #detective comics

When in doubt, and without access to your tablet, scribble some gijinkas on the back of calendar pages, and edit the ones you liked the most. Worked for me!

With Pepperman's brains, brawn, dashing looks, incredible talent, silky voice, tactical prowess, quick thinking, and Vigilante's great amount of explosives, surely they'll defeat that rascal together!

Okay, maybe these were all just an excuse to adapt the blorbos to my anime-ish style.

I rly don’t see how ppl be 20+ shipping kids anymore tbh… like, it’s so rampant and I don’t see the appeal to it anymore being as tho I’m in my late 20’s.

#I’m grown….. it always baffles me to see it like man I don’t care I don’t find joy in it anymore since I’m not a teenager #I just look at them and think they’re like my fake son… daughter nephew niece whatever lol #give me the struggling and mentally fucked up 20+ year old give me those middle age bitches man if I’m going to like a ship now anyway #like i don’t care about the romance between kids man it sucks that this is such a huge thing in most fandom spaces #not that I participate in said spaces since ppl are annoying and embarrassing #also very nasty #sns is diff tho like that’s a whole other thing 🪽 #sns is just a classic it’s legendary it transcends space and time it it- #I’m so glad that jjk is full of adults tho lmfaoo #one of Gege’s only W’s… especially impressive for a shounen #i like jjk outside of the goiji pairings too like I just genuinely enjoy it despite how awful it is now lol #again #I do think that ppl need to learn how to become more comfortable with enjoying media outside of shipping tho #like there’s nothing wrong with it obviously but I’m talking more like how tons of ppl only get into a new series for the sole purpose #of shipping instead of engaging with said media and the story that it’s trying to tell… #this is why fanon and wild insane hc’s usually get out of control too to the point where those who might be interested in checking out #a series might be deterred because they don’t even know what the show is about because the only stuff that ppl see about the thing is ship #stuff and like discourse #and the behavior of the fans… #these ppl be 30+ arguing with teenagers man it’s crazy to me #I just think there needs to be a balance lol #like still go crazy. Have fun and all but you get it #but anyway. with all that being said! Goiji stays winning in my heart 🚶🏾‍♀️ #rambling

Have you seen the Goncharov thing going around? Gives real Zakk Tomorrow vibes. Do you think the show was somehow inspired by the movie? I wanna say there was an episode that parodied it, but that might be my bad memory talking.

You know it's funny you bring that up! The Zakk Tomorrow creator was a huge self-professed Goncharov fan. And you can really see its influence in that one tonally-discordant s1 episode where the time-traveling Italian mafia kidnaps Zakk. That was the episode with the weird gritty ambiance and cold atmospheric pacing. Really didn't fit with the normal wacky boppy pace of the show. Most people just kinda forget that episode. Makes sense you remembered it as parody.

A few good sites/pages for learning some media literacy and spotting online misinformation:

Snopes.com - a site that’s been around for twenty years (long before Google search engine was a thing) debunking urban legands and, more recently, fake news and misinformation.

Checkyourfact.com - a site similar to snopes that debunks fake news and viral “facts”. It’s the place I found out that post about Kraft releasing a rainbow coloured mayo called “Real Gaydo” for pride month was a satirical photoshop piece that was stolen from its original artist’s Instagram and shared around as a real product on Facebook and other sites.

School Library Journal - has a page of resources for teaching students and teachers how to spot misinformation and fake news and improve media literacy.

NAMLE.net - aka the National Association for Media Literacy Education, the leading nonprofit membership organization dedicated to advancing media literacy education in the United States.

Newslit.org - an educational nonprofit that provides programs and resources for learning media literacy. What’s cool about this site is they have an extensive number of quizzes designed to help you test your media literacy skills, which give you tips along with the question answers about how to spot and avoid misinformation and fake news. All of which you can try out for yourself here.

If anyone has more good online literacy resources like this, please feel free to add more!

The way so many us news outlets are pushing this false narrative that Israel is being wrongfully attacked by Palestine is so sickening

#pimptalks #and this isn’t some ‘RAHHH FAKE NEWS’ ass post bc the things they’re reporting on are happening #but it’s not for no reason in the slightest #everywhere I check just talks about how Palestine is terrorizing Israel and killing their people #but the death toll and overall rate of attacks is so beyond disproportionate #this fight has been going on forever and people are just seeing whatever they want and acting like it’s happening for no reason #I literally had to explain to people what Israel has been doing to Palestine for years bc they just didn’t get it #free palestine

with one of fake-destiel-news’s posts accidentally tricking people into believing a fake news story here’s a fun reminder!

fucking fact check posts before you reblog them. look at op’s url, check the tags, look for sources. google keywords from the post, look for articles about it. don’t take a tumblr post at face value. i’ve seen ppl joke about tumblr/the destiel meme specifically being their top news source but it absolutely should not be.

this is the alexandria’s genesis, mesperyan, moon melon, tubby custard, infinite chocolate, chocolate bird, goncharov website for fucks sake. hell on destiel day itself ppl were convinced putin was resigning- iirc that was one of if not the first breaking news destiel memes. please PLEASE fact check things and don’t just accept them as fact

#this isn’t hate towards fake-destiel-news btw it’s literally in their url and they tag everything w unreality #truly like id rather reblog a post with important info a little after the fact than post it without double checking #crazwaz posted
