#A mute ninja

DP x DC: My Brother’s Ghost

So there are a bunch of fics where Danny and Damian are twins and Danny eventually has to go to Gotham or Damian/another bat interacts with Danny as ghost king. But I do you one better. Danny faked his death because of failing a mission/he actually died and his mother brought him back. (Or maybe he revived on his own after constant Lazarus exposure over time and knew he couldn’t go back). Anyways, Danny knew that he needed to go to Bruce Wayne in Gotham if he ever needed anything but only as a last resort as they would expect him to go there. So he’s been monitoring Bruce from afar and immediately knew when Damian joined the bats. He clocked him as the new Robin and started following his hero career more closely. He was content to watch his family from afar. Even after the accident. Then something happens where Robin was said to go missing and when no news showed up after a few days, Danny got worried so figured it couldn’t hurt to do a quick trip to Gotham.

He dresses in all black and a hood made using an old ninja Halloween costume. Not nearly as much protection as his old league uniform but with his ghost powers he doesn’t really need protection. Just anonymity. He goes to Gotham in phantom form, making sure all his white hair is carefully tucked in the black hood so only his green eyes remain. He uses his old assassin training and finds Robin drugged and captured in an old warehouse by the court of owls. Robin clearly isn’t thinking straight but Danny puts him in a simple choke hold to knock him unconscious anyways. Better safe than sorry. He quickly frees the boy and drops him off in an area he knows the other bats are searching. After watching to make sure Damian is safe and a bat finds him, he leaves.

Damian could barely remember his capture but he thought he saw a figure in black with glowing green eyes. He could have sworn the future was trying to kill him but…he woke up looking at another bat (or maybe even the manor). Did his family save him?

Meanwhile, Danny can’t stop thinking about Damian. Despite his assassin training, he was drugged and hurt. Danny thought he could handle himself. He thought he would be safe. But what if this happened again? What if the colony of bats wasn’t enough? So Danny couldn’t help the occasional visit to Gotham to make sure his twin was ok. Most of the time he didn’t do anything, just watched. Sometimes, though, there would be an instance where Damian got out of a dangerous situation and no one knew how. A building collapsed, Damian appeared unharmed outside. A goon was about to get a lucky shot? Somehow the bullet missed or the goon got taken out when no other bats were nearby. Fear gas? Damian faintly remembers warm hands hugging him as he struggled. And while he thought it was weird he heard his brother’s comforting voice when it should be a nightmare, he chalked it up to the fear gas anyways since there was no other explanation.

Yet every time there is a particularly dangerous encounter, he swears he sees the figure in black. Damian sees the figure more and more yet none of his family do. They swore to keep an eye out anyways in case. You never know. Sometimes the figure becomes more clear and Damian has tried to chase them but always loses them quickly. One time the chase lasted at least five minutes and Damian managed to corner the figure in an alleyway only for them to pass through the wall.

The bats suspect that this could either be meta abilities or magic. The funny thing is, there were no traces. No one sees the figure except Damian. No one hears them, and there’s is nothing to indicate their presence, not even footprints. It’s like they were never there and no matter how hard they try, there is no footage of the figure. Sometimes cameras glitch out and sometimes they only show Robin, sometimes neither or they seem to loop on themselves. So the bats are leaning towards Magic.

They call Constantine to give Damian a thorough check and he declares that Damian shows signs of interacting with a ghost. And that stumps everyone. A ghost? If it was a friendly specter like Deadman then he would help everyone, not just Damian. If it was hostile, it would never help Damian. So why is this ghost only focusing on the youngest bat and why? Is there even someone that would come back from the afterlife to help the demon brat, let alone have the will strong enough to manifest a ghost that can affect the living? Damian was a former assassin after all and he’s hardly the friendliest bat. So who would help him that has already died?

Throughout this, Damian is silent. Because there is one person he knows to have died that might do this. One person skilled enough to avoid the other bats and evade Damian during a chase. One person Damian would acknowledge as having a will stronger than his own. But something was wrong…because he was sure that that person didn’t have green eyes.

So the next time the figure shows himself Damian attacks. Not just a chase but an outright challenge. Hand to hand combat. And as Damian punches and kicks, the figure expertly parries each attack. And as the fight goes on, Damian watches. And he knows those moves. Those dodges. Those blocks. He can read this figure’s fighting stance like the back of his hand because he grew up with it.

And Damian knows without a shadow of a doubt as the figure disappears into he ground, that despite the changed eye color, the tan skin, the increased height, his brother’s ghost has come back to watch over him.

And for the first time in many years, Damian cries. That’s how the bats find him.

#Dpxdc #dcxdp #Kizzer’s ideas. #Damian thinks’s Danny’s ghost is haunting him. #Danny helps Damian as a NINJA. #A mute ninja #like a male version of Cass. #Damian only ever sees Danny’s eyes and they glow. #Eventually Danny will start helping other bats like if Damian asks for Danny to help find his brother if he’s missing. #Damian still tries to chase Danny but he maintains DISTANCE. #They’re kinda in the area where DAMAIN is aware of Danny and DANNY knows that Damian knows but he’s still pretending otherwise. #(He also doesn’t know how to interact with Damian. That stunted emotional communication was in there somewhere. It’s genetic). #So Danny sometimes becomes more visible but will always stay at least 20 feet away unless Damian’s in active danger. #Even the bats catch a flicker of him sometimes. #Bruce tries to connect with the ghost of his dead son. #Deadman comes to visit one day and they have a nice chat. Just being near Danny allowed the other to see the ghost too which was weird. #When Danny eventually takes the hood off everyone stares at the face of Damian just with soft white hair #and glowing green eyes. #It was bizarre. #That was the only time he took off the hood though.

[master-of-fluff]

is anyone gonna write a Fic where Kai tries to make money via streaming cuz he heard it makes decent pay but he hates newer technology so its just ninjago citizens coaching kai via chat and recommending him games to try for thefirst time and he always curses a lot at the beginning but when he gets something right he's like "woo let's gooo :D!!!"

And every once in awhile jay or nya will join him and its the same basically except theu destroy kai at whatever theyre playing and theres a lot more cursing.

Or am i gonna have to write it myself?

Please i honestly want everyone to write a fic like this and see how each one is different please oh my lord

#also one day lloyd comes in crying because hes had trouble sleeping for the past few days and Wu told him to stop training and take a nap #and kai turns the camera off but in his hurry forgets to mute his mike #and then there's a quiet conversation and then the camera turns back on to kai back in his chair but he has lloyd in his lap #and he's like #all right chat so i was gonna end stream early cuz Lloyd's not feeling well but he wanted me to keep going #so your all gonna be on your best behavior or the fire ninjas gonna take come to your house and take you down got it then he switches over #and quietly plays and talks to chat while lloyd falls asleep on him #and everyone is like absolutely stunned and/or going balistic at what they're seeing #Because the green ninja that saved them all is asleep on kai and apparently a cuddle bug #and kai isnt cursing or yelling at all and before lloyd fell asleep and was watching what kai was doing #and lloyd would talk kai was actually speaking *gently!?* to him? #something they've never seen before #And then Kai's p.o box gets flooded with a bunch of get well soon cards and other things for lloyd #Oh my gosh please don't make me write this I want to read it not write it #...I'm probably gonna have to write this aren't I?

Me urgently rewriting my story to fit and research Donnie's OCD properly is a feeling and vibe most will not understand. My history is bound to look like hell after this and I'm attempting to accept it.

#tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #fanfiction #fanfic #ao3 #tmnt 2012 #tmnt fanfiction #tmnt donatello #2012 donnie #OCD #He has canonical OCD apparently #And while it isn't going to be a main thing I want to at least represent it #I just want to make sure I can represent his character more #So #OCD is being added #I am so upset I didn't know he had it #Autism and OCD??? #Not to mention I'm adding a mute character?? #Yeah it's gonna be wild these next few hours #Wish me luck

[transfemstarscream]

i think “enter the nightbird” has problems like making the technically first female transformer (she predates elita one and her crew and arcee at least animation wise; i don’t recall if she predates beta) be controlled by others for her entire appearance and never reintroducing her (despite the ending implying it!) sucks and having the closest thing to a “feminine” character at the time (who is also a villain) be the only one to not drool over her but instead having her be very catty and very jealous of her also sucks but like. i hate how the episode rather clearly drives in the point that she shouldn’t be controlled and that the way the decepticons are treating her is bad and the way she is being obviously objectified is bad but yet. her most notable appearance after g1 is transformers legends which…objectifies her majorly and makes her a “dumb little doll” that the decepticons profit off of and how the female characters are jealous of her beauty and (growls)!!!!!

#.txt #it sucks because nightbird is so cool. female ninja robot warrior who fights with ninja stars + light saber. doesnt get any better than that #she is very cool and i want her to return in a major way someday. and keep her mute and have her communicate with the others in a unique way

"Nightmares again, little bro?" Mikey snapped his gaze to Raph in surprise. It was no secret he had them. Hell, it would have been far more shocking if he didn't after everything he'd survived, but unless he thrashed around in his sleep, which thankfully wasn't often given he'd long ago learnt to keep still to avoid drawing unwanted attention, well, being unable to vocalise actually had a couple of advantages. Like not drawing his brothers to him in panic as he screamed in terror in the middle of the night. {Y?} he tapped slowly after extricating his fingers from the handle of the right crutch. "'cause we woke up to find you huddled and shivering under the bed this morning," Raph replied, studying him with a worried frown. "We left you there because, yeah, didn't want to startle you and because you need the sleep. You're still healing." Mikey glanced guiltily up at his brother's face but the bruise he'd left a while back had completely faded away a few days ago now. Raph snorted but didn't say a thing; he didn't need to. They'd had that conversation numerous times now, of Mikey feeling bad about it and Raph telling him not to be such an idiot because no way had it hurt him, visual evidence be damned. {U put,} Mikey motioned to the blanket and pillow half hidden beneath the bed, {on me?} "Like I said, you were shivering," Raph grunted once he translated. {Ty, R.} "Yeah, no problem. So wanna talk about why you ended up on the floor?" 'What's the point?' Mikey thought miserably as he looked away from his brother. 'If I went slow enough for you to keep up, I'd lose track of what I was saying.' Then, just to give Raph something, he blinked no and slowly tapped, {To b close. Where D?} "Donnie's in the bathroom," Raph replied, studying Mikey closely and baulking as he squirmed under his gaze. "Sorry," he muttered guiltily. {Is 'k,} Mikey replied. He worked his fingers around the thin handhold again before cautiously heading for the door. Once outside, Mikey paused to get his bearings, then turned towards the bathroom. Not long after, he stood outside the door, surprised to see it too, wedged open like his bedroom door. Donnie stood inside, working at the sink with a mess of tools and what looked like tap handles surrounding him. Mikey blinked in surprise.

{Wot r u doin', D?} Mikey ventured cautiously.

Had a creative itch that I just had to scratch. So here are my very poorly drawn renditions of some of my au Leo’s (it’s a learning curve)

We’ve got harbinger!Leo who, in my brain, had the most difficult design out of all of them so I didn’t work too hard on that one cuz I know I just won’t get it right right now anyway.

NIY!Leo wearing his little coronet that is very obviously inspired by Sylvie’s little horn crown from Loki, but Leo’s isn’t broken for obvious reasons.

And we have mute!Leo who’s design mostly consists of gradual changes to his look/accessories as time goes on, the most drastic of which is his tongue piercing that he’ll get sometime later in his story once I finally get around to writing it.

As you can tell from my reblogs and probably an HC or two...I think I have a preference for Raph and it doesn't bode well for him.....

Promo

The screen of a computer fizzled with electricity, buzzing with static for a moment before showing an image of a very familiar turtle. “And… AHA!” The purple-asked stranger cheered, finally getting his device to work. “I, my dimensional interlopers, am Specs! I have hacked into the multiverse itself to connect directly to your mobile devices! And, what’s more, I have also invented a portal to take you directly into my world! Behold the genius of my tech!!” The camera panned to reveal a square pad on the floor with intimidating spikes on its edges and a faint glow of energy.

Another turtle walked… er- scuttled in?- on its four additional spider-like legs. “Hey SpecHOLY WOAH DUDE WHY’S IT DOING THAT-?!”

Specs turned to him with a furrowed brow. “Doing whaOH MY DARWIN-” The portal had begun to make a revving noise, the faint glow hovering above it becoming brighter. “IT’S HAPPENING! STAY CALM BOYS!” The tech-covered turtle’s mouth stretched into a wide grin and his eyes snapped back to the camera. “Looks like I’ll be seeing one of you VERY soon!!”

—

In the other room two more turtles say, relaxing on two beanbag chairs. The red-masked one heard the faint noise of middle-child nonsense. ‘Should we… check on them?’ He signed, the translator on his neck converting it to speech a moment later.

The blue one shrugged. “…do you want to?” He had just gotten to the best part of his comic, after all… Brothers could wait, he was getting invested in the adventures of this ‘Jupiter Jim’ character. Human imagination never ceased to amaze him..

The other turtle sighed, leaning back in his chair. ‘Alright, but if he blows up the living room again you’re helping him clean.’

ship: eddie/buck prompt: couch

hi, and thank you! this got longer than i was planning, lol. buck/eddie; 700 words; unsubtle metaphors and first kisses

-

Eddie opens his eyes to the dim flickering light of the TV, turned down low but not quite muted on one of those Ninja Warrior things that Buck loves. He's tilted sideways, cheek pillowed against the outside of Buck's arm, and he's apparently been drooling a little, which would be more embarrassing if it were the first or even the twentieth time it's happened.

"Sorry," he mumbles, peeling his face away to flop back against the couch and muffle a yawn into the back of his hand. "Time's it?"

"Like ten. You were wiped."

"Haven't been sleeping great lately."

"Good thing I picked out a comfortable couch this time around, huh?"

Eddie laughs softly, rolls his shoulders until they give a couple of satisfying pops, then leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees. He glances up to see Buck watching him fondly, his face lit up in the glow of the screen, his eyes sleepy and soft.

"Yeah," he says. "Good thing."

Buck huffs a little, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. Eddie imagines tracing the shape of it with his fingers, or maybe with his lips. It's a thought he's become more settled with in the past month or so, after Buck ended things with Tommy, or Tommy ended things with him—Eddie never actually got a detailed post-mortem on what went down there, from either of them, and he's not sure he wants one. They're both single now. Buck likes men. Eddie could just kiss him and see where it leads.

Instead, he slouches back against the couch. On the screen, a petite but muscular woman is slamming her way up a salmon ladder while the crowd shrieks, nearly muted, and the timer speeds ahead. 

"God, she's so good. I bet she could kick my ass."

"That's your type, huh?" Eddie asks, and Buck ducks his head, laughing. 

"I don't know. Maybe."

Eddie hums. He's remembering a night in Buck's kitchen, years ago—you wanna go for the title?—and a tension he can name more easily now than he could back then. For himself, anyway. Sometimes Buck looks at him the way he is now, and he thinks—but he doesn't know. Not for sure.

"Hey, Eddie?"

He didn't even realize his eyes had slid shut again. He blinks, rubbing at them, then rolls his head over to look at Buck. "Yeah?"

Buck hesitates, his lips parted. His eyes flicker over Eddie's face for a moment, and then he scoffs a little and turns his face away. "Nothing. Never mind."

"Oh, no, come on. Now you gotta tell me."

"It's nothing. Seriously."

"Buck."

Buck holds out for a moment, but Eddie can see the moment he gives in, his shoulders sagging, because he's never been any better at saying no to Eddie than Eddie is at saying no to him. It's comforting, the way they both have that problem. Buck rubs at his lower lip, then shrugs a little, then says, without looking at Eddie, "Do you ever… did you ever think that you and me, that we could be…" He glances over, quick and nervous, and Eddie wishes like hell that he knew what his face was doing or how to control it. Buck smears his hand over his mouth a little more roughly, then says, "Seriously, forget it."

"Buck," Eddie whispers. He straightens up on the couch, fully awake now.

"Eddie, I—I don't—"

"Hey," Eddie says, and he reaches up and touches Buck's cheek. Warm skin, stubble just starting to come in. Buck's eyelashes fluttering, his shaky breath. And it's easy from there, to let that guide him: to lean in and press a kiss to Buck's mouth.

It lingers in the stillness for a moment. Then Buck's hand comes up to cup his cheek, and his lips move against Eddie's, kissing him back.

It's soft, and they part just as softly. Buck's eyes are closed, but after a moment he opens them. He breathes out shakily, then laughs a little. "Yeah?"

"Yeah," Eddie whispers. His hand is still on Buck's cheek, and he wants to kiss him again, and he thinks maybe he gets to do that now. "Yeah, I think we could."

You guys….my head just EXPLODED

🤯🤯🤯

Okay bare with me here because my thoughts are literally chaos right now! Going to try and take you through the ninja katana that just happened to my brain!

1. Everyone has been focusing on this album being white. Taylor wore a white dress, Taylor used the 🤍, etc etc

This has been bothering my photographer mind since I very first saw the cover. That cover is not black and white. That cover is Sepia.

Rep is Black and white…..Folklore as well (though more muted and grey than stark black and white like Rep)

Poets is Sepia!

Now obviously there is no Sepia heart emoji so it could be that simple BUT Taylor is a mastermind and she doesn’t do accidents. The Sepia toned album cover is not white and that immediately drew attention to it when everyone is focused on the white aspects (which also lended itself nicely to the Rep TV/Poets bait and switch)

2. So I decided to go learn about the history of Sepia and quickly came across this very interesting article. I started reading. Immediately aspects of this colours history started setting off lightbulbs 💡

Sepia comes from the Cuttlefish’s defence mechanism. When under attack the cuttlefish releases a cloud of ink to distract the predator and make a swift (SWIFT!!) escape!?!?

Already we have the ink tie in specifically mentioning jet black (like the octopus and squid) but the cuttlefish’s defender cloud is sepia……this album is a defence mechanism so she can distract the predators (hetlors/the press) to make her escape to safety. It’s the bait and switch. The distraction. The decoy.

This was already enough to have my jaw on the floor…but wait! There’s more!

3. Sepia’s use in photography…

This love story began in black and white…in Reputation.

🎶I once believed love would be black and white….but it’s golden (Daylight)

This cover photo is very clearly Daylight after the long and tortured Midnight….now she only sees Daylight!

Sepia has come to represent a by-gone age….

Everyone thinks that Kaylor is over and done. Just an ended friendship, a burned bridge, no longer relevant…but the act of making that relationship look old was actually used to preserve that love and allow it to be long lasting!

There’s also the very obvious photography connection with the Polaroids significance to Kaylor.

Also note the nod to 1920s….along with the Clara Bow track pointed at that era here’s another possible link to the roaring 20s

Another link to Daylight coming after Midnight…the opening of the Karma music video shows the Midnights album which turns into a golden sunlight over the golden Taylor statue. Midnight to Daylight.

So as if all of this wasn’t already enough I kept reading and the next paragraph made me scream…..

The Wizard of FUCKING OZ you guys!!!!

(Side note that we have the Blake/Taylor Dorothy and Ariel combo call back here as well! Worth noting maybe Daddy I Love Him will shed some light on this Halloween Party…we know our 🎃 anon wanted us focusing on Halloween! Maybe this evening was significant in the story!)

So everyone thinks of it as black and white but it’s actually Sepia…..yes yes go on…..

So you’re telling me to create the illusion (🎶All eyes on me your illusionist) of sepia to colour they were using a body double. A double! A bait and switch! A stand in! Like every single beard relationship and every single Karlie stand in we have been seeing lately! Blake at Beyonces premiere….Keleigh at the Golden Globes, Keleigh as the bride, etc etc etc.

Slight of hand, more illusions and bait and switch imagery to make the art work and the magic happen.

Holy Shit!!!

I need to go pass out now!
