DPXDC Early Heroes and Patron Gods
(From this poll)
With the formation of the Justice League, the general public for the first time became widely interested in heroes and vigilantes. Vigilantism as it was, started in the fringes of society, where itheir stories were shared, but never properly documented.
Eventually, among the few vigilantes still around they were able to track down one person who was mentioned as possibly the first. So Lois Lane packed up her bags for the drive to Illinois, because she had scored an interview with the one and only Valerie Grey.
Red Huntress: A lot of getting shot.
Lois Lane: You were part of the first generation of heroics, under the name Red Huntress. What was it like?
LL: Okay- from other heroes' stories, you seemed to be well established in your skill long before coming in and kick-starting the Chicago vigilante scene, where did you get your start?
RH: Amity Park, doesn't exist anymore. I know what you want to ask, and yeah I wasn't the first. I was originally a rogue for this other guy.
LL: Another hero?
RH: Yeah, Amity Park got a big influx of ghosts in the early 2000's, got all but completely isolated during that time for government research into the supernatural. One of the ghosts was this kid named Phantom, he kept everyone in line.
LL: Do you know what happened to him?
RH: He's still around, watching over whoever needs him.
LL: He's still active?
RH: Passive, more like.
-
The interview set off an avalanche, the accompanying pictures of the Phantom in his prime brought forward all kinds of accounts from minor heroes of meeting him. How when they thought they were caught and cornered, sure they were going to die, a white haired kid popped out of nowhere to save them. These savior stories meshed together with his clearly supernatural origin led people to deify him, and soon he was known everywhere as Phantom, the Patron God of Heroes.
The whole thing was mostly dismissed by the Justice League, Batman was especially skeptical of the word of mouth stories. The Young Justice team on the other hand were enamoured by the tales, even as a joke building a shrine to the hero who would never grow up (And maybe after it started to be maintained and grow in size, it stopped being a joke).
But it all came to a head when the Young Justice team was fighting Klarion, and loosing badly. The Witch Boy had stolen several magical items, and was using them to great effect. Superboy was trapped in a cage of energy, Megan and Kaldur were incapacitated by fire magic, and Kid Flash and Beast Boy were frozen in place. All that were left were Artemis and Robin, both badly wounded when the battlefield lit up.
They were saved by the Phantom, Patron God of Heroes.

Is A Deity Calling Out To You?
Tumblr media
Connecting with deities can be a powerful and transformative experience, but it can sometimes be difficult to know where to start. If you feel drawn to a particular deity or are curious about exploring a spiritual connection, there are many signs to look out for that can help you recognize their presence.
Dreams: Pay attention to your dreams, as they can provide insight into your subconscious and may reveal symbols, messages, or images associated with a particular deity. If you experience recurring dreams or visions featuring a particular deity, this could be a sign that they are trying to reach out to you. Keep a dream journal and take note of any symbols or imagery that seem significant or out of the ordinary.
Synchronicities: Be mindful of repeated patterns or coincidences in your life that seem to be related to a particular deity. These may include seeing their symbols or animals associated with them more frequently than usual, encountering their name or teachings in unexpected places, or hearing people mention them more often than usual. If you notice a pattern that seems to be connected to a deity, this could be a sign that they are trying to connect with you.
Intuition: Trust your intuition and pay attention to any strong feelings or impressions that you have about a particular deity. You may feel drawn to them or have a sense that they are reaching out to you, even if you don't have any concrete evidence or experiences to support it. Follow your instincts and allow yourself to explore your curiosity and interest in the deity.
Physical Sensations: You may experience physical sensations when thinking about or encountering a particular deity. These could include a tingling or energy in your body, a sense of warmth or pressure on your skin, or other sensations that feel unusual or out of the ordinary. Pay attention to your body and how it responds to the presence of the deity.
Signs In Nature: The natural world can be a powerful source of connection and communication from the divine. Pay attention to any animals, plants, or other natural elements that seem to be associated with the deity, as these could be signs that they are trying to connect with you. For example, if you keep seeing crows or ravens, which are often associated with the goddess Morrigan, this could be a sign that she is trying to reach out to you.
Hearing Their Name: If you keep hearing the name of a particular deity mentioned or feel drawn to research or learn more about them, this could be a sign that they are trying to connect with you. Keep an open mind and follow your curiosity, as this can lead you to new insights and connections with the deity.
Inner Guidance: Pay attention to any messages or guidance that you receive from within, as these could be coming from a deity. You may have intuitive insights or sudden realizations that seem to be connected to the deity, or you may experience a sense of guidance or direction that feels inspired by them.
Remember that recognizing signs of a deity's presence and attempting to connect with them should always be done with respect and caution. Take the time to learn about the deity's history, teachings, and traditions, and approach any communication or connection with an open and humble heart.

How to find your Patron
Dearest Keepers,
We invite you to spend a thought or more thinking upon and honoring your patron. Discovering one’s patron is sacred, immensely personal, and singularly divine. A patron god is a deity that has chosen you; you are their chosen one. This deity has been with you your whole life, though they stay cleverly hidden in plain sight. They’re the stranger you think you recognize, your favorite flower, the rabbit that always scurries across your path when you need something to follow, the presence that lurks in your dreams, and the hand that holds yours when you feel entirely alone. 
A patron’s love for you is an invitation to reach across the veil. A patron is your guide, and all they ask in return is your devotion, even something as small as bowing your head to them in the morning will do. 
How do you discover who your patron is, you may ask? Well, there is no one formula for it. All we can say is: concentrate. Don’t take small signs or patterns for granted. Once you recognize and honor the small signs, larger ones will come. The more we practice, the more we devote ourselves, the more contact and meaning comes with ease. 
While there could be any number of roads to finding your patron, consider these for a start:
look for signs that continually appear in your life: numbers, plants, words, scents, tarot cards
notice when these signs are appearing and follow them
think about the things you love: seasons, places, books, people
notice if there is a pattern
Don’t be afraid to research some of these signs if you are unsure who they may come from
Eventually, everything connects, and you’ll find your patron smiling upon you. Your journey is just beginning. Along the way, you may even interact with other deities as well. It is a joy, an unforgettable adventure. When you recognize your patron, you begin to light the path to your greatest desires, like Will of the Wisps in a forest at night.
Embrace your patron. Remember, this is the deity that loves you. 
Concentrate. Go and seek!
Love and luck,
The High Priestess, child of Persephone

The Big Four's Patron Gods
I decided to do Greek gods and like how that manifests basically? Use it for Witchcraft AU, Pagan HCs, Percy Jackson crossovers, whatever u want idc it’s my free to use headcanons lmao
Rapunzel - Apollo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You've seen her, you know her, she's the lost princess, the saviour, the home bound, the baker, the signer-songwriter and a painter. Rapunzel's artistic and inspiring nature make her a perfect contestant to be under the patronage of Apollo!
Apollo is the god of the sun, music, the arts and like 12 more other things. He’s renowned for his work with artists and many pagans today worship the patron god of plagues the arts.
The only other guesses I have for her are Helios (Greek) or Grannus (Celtic)
Raps is a great contender for anything that’s like “art is a prayer” and artistic actions and whatnot? Yeah she’s your good’n’kind classical bard here!
Merida - Artemis
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She's got red curly hair, stands at 5'4'' (my height ladies and gentlemen) and has once turned her mother into a bear!! Her skills in archery, independence and the like make her a great choice for Artemis!
Artemis is the goddess of the hunt, the moon, chastity and like her twin brother Apollo, like 12 other things. But most importantly here, archery. She is known to be a symbol of protection of children as well.
Her Gaelic god-parent would be Arduinna
Merida seems to be more attuned to acts of devotions like riding, hunting and archery rather than calm prayer, poetry and the like. Artemis is absolutely a guide she could go with all in all!
Hiccup - Hapheastus
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You’ve seen him, you know him, he's the only one with more than one movie, and despite 1/3 of a leg missing, HE'S STILL KICKING! Make way for Hiccup, under the patronage of Hapheastus!
Hapheastus is the god of blacksmiths, metalworking, carpenters, craftsmen, artisans, sculptors, metallurgy, fire (compare, however, with Hestia), and volcanoes— this one deserves a long list cuz he’s a sweetheart tbh
Brokk and Sindri are the closest Norse equivalent that would fit in here!
Not the most well known god, but hiccup who works as an apprentice in the shop, would be delighted to be under this god. He is the patron and protector of workers and forges many great weapons, hiccup’s fire sword could be a devotion to him!
Jack Frost - Hermes
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The man, the myth, the legend, he's the fan favourite and he's an icon: Jack Fost! He may not be a messenger, but he does give Sheperd vibes with his staff! Anyways, his patron God would be Hermes.
Hermes is a trickster, a psychopomp and messenger of the gods, descendant of an older Pan, he’s a chaotic character well associated with tricks and jokes! He’s also the god of shepherds, cattle and livestock, making him a pretty multi-tasking guy on the day-to-day basis!
Jack’s relationship with the god, something else as it is with most Hermes kids ig, if anything though, his work would absolutely be through actions, his connection with the wind and frost brings Zagreus and Boreas to mind, but rather in an accessory way. Either way; Both Hermes and Jack rule.
*i might edit this in further later lol*
*edited once so far*

DpxDc demon twins AU where Danny is basically fishingarret on YouTube. If you haven’t seen him he’s this psychopath of a man that walks barefoot in Florida and other dangerous places like Australia and the Amazon and removing invasive species. He does this by picking them up with his bare hands. This man feels so fear. He willingly poked a wasp nest. He tackled a 15ft python. And every time he picks something up he says yoink. Danny ‘already dead’ Fenton being left in Florida instead of Ohio

I haven’t really talked about the news but I will say the one thing that’s been making me smile is people telling stories of Techno continuing to troll them in death, not only w him revealing that his name was actually Alex not Dave and the fucking death merch, but stories like Sophie’s and Jewish fans’ struggling while trying to light memorial candles (matches snapping, the candle taking forever to light or flickering out several times, etc), or like Wilbur’s where Techno visited him in his dreams to call him a loser for dreaming about Minecraft, I even had my own experience when I left the house to try and get my mind off things in which a crow sat in a tree branch right above my head and cawed loudly, interrupting my sad thoughts and only flew away after I smiled and sent a video of it to my brother, it’s just so like him to continue to troll people from beyond the grave and it makes me smile

I see your 'QSMP players' irl romantic partners are patron gods that give them assistance in times of need' and your 'Tommy is Tubbo's patron god because of the marriage gag and Tubbo is very, very tired' and I raise you a 'CDawgVA is IronMouse's patron god who randomly appears to tell IronMouse to go to sleep and has bought nearly every Cinnamoroll in existence for her'.
Just. Think about it.

DPxDC Warlock Batfamily
They're not warlocks in the traditional sense, no fancy spell work or obvious theming. In fact, most anyone less magically attune than John would just assume they were metas like anyone else on the team, but they weren't.
It took a while to notice, just passing off the magical fluctuations around them as the ebb and flow of the natural world, or maybe some residual curse vibes from Gotham (ew). But it was too consistent. When Batman slipped into the shadows it pulsed, and when Oracle seized control of nearby computers it surged. When Nightwing took his inhuman leaps into the air simply trusting that he would reach his lading point it soared and when that nightmare of a Robin brought a room to darkness it rested like a heavy weight on his shoulders.
They weren't individual users, their eclectically cohesive group structure was too uniform for that; but they weren't some family of sorcerers either, being quite obviously unrelated by blood save for a few. The most likely answer was that they were all warlocks in service to some common diety, taking on aspects of its power to enforce it's will upon the mortal world- and John really hoped it was a helpful entity, because they were in deep shit.
Peeling the partially liquefied tentacle off from across his chest, Constantine sat up and brought his hand up to cup his bruised face. He prayed to whatever was least likely to hold a grudge that their little hail Mary there had bought them enough time to perform a summoning.
"Hey Bat, get your patron on the phone, this is getting fucking Eldritch."
"What the hell are you talking about," Hal Jordan pushed himself out of the rubble with a massive green fist construct. "Bats isn't a magic user."
"Hm." Batman grunted as he picked bone shards out of his gauntlets. "I'll need to get something for the ritual."
Everyone present sat up to look at him like he'd grown another head, except Superman and Wonder Woman who seemed a little excited.
"I'm sorry, you're a magician?" The Flash pipes up from behind the ruins of an old altar, only to receive a level glare from his black clad coworker.
"Warlock."
"Oh."
Constantine grabbed onto some chains hanging from the precariously damaged ceiling, rising to his feet. "We don't have much time; that thing's off licking its wounds in space or something, but it'll be back. You go off and collect whatever artefact you have from wherever you hid it and I'll start drawing the circle, where are we pulling your Patron from?"
Batman nodded in agreement. "The Infinite Realms."
"Fucking Hell."
-
The Watch Tower was crowded when Batman returned flanked by two other members for his little hero coven, carrying a small case decorated with constellations and nebulae.
Wonder Woman stepped up to look at the container, obviously curious, but not touching it.
"It will be wonderful to see him again, Batman. After this is dealt with I hope to hear the tales of my sisters from beyond."
"He'll definitely be happy to chat after we're done," Nightwing commented. "I hear he's been training with Pandora."
Red Robin nodded to that, an exasperated look on his face as he likely anticipated a long and drawn out conversation about different kinds of swords. Amazons liked their blades.
John gave that idea some concideration, Amazonian ghosts probably get up to some killer fights without having to worry about, ya know, death. He called out to the Dark Knight, "I've got the circle done, now we just need your call."
The three of them walk over to the summoning circle unceremoniously carved into the watch tower floor, Batman narrowing his eyes at the damaged paneling but saying nothing otherwise. The Dark Knight opens the case in his hands and pulls out what appears to be a small model space station.
The Coven spread themselves evenly around the circumference of the circle and Batman begins the ritual. "Salve patrōnem, egō stellam vocō." He throws the model space station into the circle where it appeared to float as the symbols in the ground lit up.
Slowly, a figure formed in the center, first as hands holding the model and spreading out over its arms and to its body in the shape of a young boy. He seemed to be wearing a black rubber hazmat suit with white accents and green lichtenberg figures crawling up his left arm. White hair appeared and with it piercing green eyes that seemed to be fixed on the toy in his hands. A cape flowed out behind him less like fabric and more like the endless void of space littered with stars and a cold weight settled on the room.
"Damn B, y'all really fucked up the floor this time."
Red Robin snorted, "Nice to see you too, Danny."

Here be the first little bit of the new DP x DC AU I warned about earlier where Tim, due to his constant repeated attempts at cloning Bart & Kon, accidentally summons slightly eldritch Elle who is very interested in what he’s up to.
As always feel free to run with this as a prompt if yall find anything here interesting :D
*
Tim didn’t mean to summon her.
He’d been in the lab, staring at the data on the latest failed attempts at cloning Kon and Bart and feeling like he was cracking in two. Eyes burning, chest tight, world spinning out into shifting impossible shadows around him as his mind and body struggled to push him forward into another day without sleep. The hush of water in the tanks, his unsteady steps on the cement floor, the chill seeping into his bones.
He stumbled and swayed through the maze of the lab, numbers dripping like blood down the screen as he tried to stare at the figures. He needed to try again, needed to bring them back, in whatever capacity he could. This time would work. This time he’d get it right.
When he saw her, feet clumsy as he rounded a corner, he thought she was just another hallucination.
How could she be anything else?
Skin like a polished mirror, hair like the white-hot flash of lightning, eyes as green as the depths of the Lazarus Pits. She floated before a tank, spectral and strange with a long wisping tail that drifted off into nothingness in place of legs, body shifting and changing before his eyes in ways that bodies should not be able to. Outside of the eyes the face was…not there. An impression of the shapes that you’d expect to see in a human face, like the Question’s. Sometimes though the features defined, sharpened. Mirror bright skin crackling as faces took shape in the glass.
In the low light of the lab, he almost imaged one of those faces was Kon’s. Dimples and freckles and high cheek bones and the slant of a silhouette that haunted Tim’s dreams at night. A flicker of her lightining hair and it was gone. Smoothed back into soft blankness once more.
He watched from the of the aisle as she lifted too-long mirror shard fingers and rest them gently on the glass as she seemed to peer in at the lifeless body inside.
Attempt 76.
One of his tries with Bart. The organs hadn’t grown right during the age-up process. Tim had cried for that one as he had for all the others. As he had for Bart and Kon when they had died. As he still did as the fact that it was more maddened grief than hope that kept him pushing forward anyway.
He closed his eyes to the hallucination at the end of the aisle. Breathed deep and steady. It might be gone when he opened his eyes again. It might not be. It might be something - someone - else when he dares look next. He’d been through this time and time again over the days and weeks he’d been throwing himself at this agonizing wall. The only difference this time was the intricate strangeness, the total lack of recognition he had for the figure, baring the moment he almost saw Kon in its face.
Coffee. Maybe some harder stimulants, if he had any left. New data to review, new attempts to be made. He didn’t have time for the effects of sleep deprivation.
Tim opened his eyes.
He jerked back as he came face to face with himself, warped and strange and green in the reflective face of the being where it now hovered so close that if it breathed he would feel it upon his face.
She tilted her head at him, curious. Hands rose to cup his face, rest on his shoulders, wrap around his arms, cradle his hands. More hands than he’d seen before. More hands than he was able to truly comprehend, stomach souring as his eyes stung and strained in the attempt to look at the impossible warping of her body. Despite the glint of shattered glass that made up her fractured palms and splintered silver fingers, her hands were soft and warm where they curled around him. Almost human in the way they held him in place, the hold pleasantly firm.
He’d never had a doting elder aunt to pinch his cheeks and demand to get a look at him, but he imagined this might be what that felt like. The way the being shifted her head from side to side, his reflection warping in the curved reflection of the planes of her featureless face, added to the strange idea. His hallucinations didn’t normally touch him, though. And never so…kindly.
Tim felt his blood go cold as he realized it might not be a figment of his fracturing mind floating before him.
Swallowing nervously, he tried to shift backwards, to slip out of the many grasping hands before the softness turned sharp and began to cut into him. He felt something cool against the back of his legs, hair standing on end as static electricity built up on his skin where he brushed the trailing tail he hadn’t noticed her curl around him. The entity leaned in close, the depthless green of her glowing eyes consuming Tim’s entire field of vision, and he was flooded by the sudden, horrible awareness of being Known.
The world fell away from him, his stomach lurching with the sick-sweet feel of free fall that used to exhilarate him when he’d first become Robin and had flown from rooftops dangling by his grapple and his belief in the magic being Robin instilled in him. The lab, the equipment, the piles of data and desperate scribbles, the failed clones, Tim himself. All swept away in the flood of green and the roar of lightning and the cool press of glass.
He came to would could have been minutes or centuries later. Gasping and sick on the cold cement floor, shivering as he dry heaved. His mouth full of salt and copper and the burning crackle of ozone at the back of his throat.
For a moment, disoriented and dizzy, he thought it had all been a hallucination after all. Or some fractious dream visited upon him by his torn and tattered mind after he’d finally collapsed from exhaustion on the lab floor. That the entity truly had been just in his mind, a consequence of his refusal to rest until his work was done.
Then he felt the glass-cool fingers running through his hair, the warm hand rubbing at his back, heard the low murmurs of reassurance in a voice that was almost, almost human.
He spasmed as he tried to jerk away, hissing with the sharp sting of pins and needles dancing over every nerve. His limbs were heavy and clumsy, and he was crashing back to the cold floor under his own weight before he could even try and drag himself away. His breathing came in short, aching gasps as he tried to twist away, only managing to roll to his back to see the entity where it sat calmly looking down at him.
She had a face now. A solid, steady one that fit her in a way that made him think it must be her real one, though what that meant exactly he didn’t know. The glowing eyes had dimmed and shifted, more human looking with black pupils and white sclera. Button nose marked with silver-tarnish freckles that spread over her cheeks too. A mouth, with lips curled into an apologetic smile. Her hair, still shifting as if caught in a wind that wasn’t there, was still the bright white it’d been before, but the lighting of the locks had settled into faint crackles between the curls. Whatever she was, whatever she’d done to him, he could look at her without feeling like his mind might just crack in two.
“Wha-“ His voice cracked, painful and hoarse like he’d been screaming. Maybe he had been. Swallowing around the burn in his throat, he choked out a hissed, “What are you?”
Her head tilted in that curious slant again, more human features giving her a bright, youthful look as she peered down at him questioningly. “You summoned me, Little Gaffer, shouldn’t you know?”
*
Gaffer is a term used for a glass crafter, as well as light technicians for stage/movie productions. I’m using it as the term for the person who creates a Clone, with the clone themselves being a Mirrorborn, and the person they are cloned from being called the clone’s Reflected. Gaffer is probably a bit of a stretch for this, technically I think someone who makes mirrors would be called a Glazier (Glaziers are glassmakers) but I wasn’t vibing that as much. Besides I like the vibe of glass + light = mirror in a way.
Anyway, opening volley of a new AU where Tim ends up becoming like a warlock to Elle to get his loved ones back, while Elle is just having the time of her sorta eldritch little life watching this absolute mess of a human wreck shit and cause so much chaos even without the powers she starts giving him.
(Elle in this is both the God Queen of Clones/Mirrorborn as well as the Ancient of the Speedforce (which I’ve decided is called the Ever Onward in the Infinite Realms, because I literally can’t be stopped from trying to make normal DC things sound mystical because spooky Infinite Realms aesthetics haha)
Have a tiny bit more written for this, but don’t know how much I’ll end up writing for it with all the other projects I have currently lol, so if anyone is interested feel free to run with it as you so desire haha
