#and gaslit everyone

[frayazicat]

what if Triplets Dan, Danny, and Ellie?

like, people like to make at least Dan and Danny twins, but why not all three?? i never see that happen.

here's what i'm thinking. Reveal Gone Good, but Danny now has to tell his parents about the OTHER TWO biggest secrets he's kept from them; Dan and Ellie. he's a little hesitant cause this is not Phantom Planet compliant so they don't know about Vlad.

Dan's still in his thermos timeout thinking about what he's done and Ellie is...somewhere.

so, he tells them about his clone and his future self. this includes what Vlad has done to him. does it include who did this? maybe, i don't know. dealer's choice. anyways, the Fenton parents want to meet their new kids.

Team Phantom gets in touch with Ellie to get to FentonWorks as soon as possible while Danny introduces them to Dan.

it..might not go as planned, might end up fine, that's also dealer's choice. but! in the end, they somehow redeem Dan. Ellie arrives and the duo are welcomed into the family!

but, there are two problems now.

1) how do they explain away their new children?

and 2) Dan is full ghost (and adult-sized, i'm not sure the parents are old enough for a kid his age) and Ellie is an unstable clone - both half Vlad, and really not wanting to be half Vlad.

their solution to the second problem? make new bodies for them! they made two fully stable Halfa clone bodies from Danny, had Ellie and Dan fuse their cores inside these clones near the end of making them, and waited for them to pop out of the tubes at the same age as Danny! this might take some help from Clockwork and Danny to pull off without more melting clones..

anyways! now, they have three Halfa children. all they have to do at this point is find a way to explain the sudden appearance of TWO MORE KIDS!

their solution for THAT problem? hack into the database and change the medical files so it showed that THREE kids were birthed instead of one; Danail Jack, Daniel Jackson, and Dannielle Jacklyn Fenton. Dan, Danny, and Ellie.

but the parents take it SO MUCH FURTHER. they bribe the local schools and hospitals, they make fake receipts of things bought for them and fake records of government child support, and they even photoshop younger versions of Ellie and Dan into the family photos to make it legit. heck, they might have even gone back in time via Clockwork to add the birth certificates! they're THAT committed!

so, we got a new family of six gaslighting, gatekeeping, and girlbossing their way into legitimacy.

"What do you mean we only had two kids this entire time? Look at these records! Look at how similar they are to their triplet brother! The evidence says otherwise!"

"Listen, if you just play along and say nothing contrary to anybody who asks, we'll stop ghost hunting or driving for one month every time you do so. Sound good? We'll even put in some money to sweeten the deal."

"If we never had these children before, then why do we have memories of Dan viciously beating up Danny and Ellie's bullies at school?"

that sort of thing.

they're COMMITTED. it's INSANE. the town is going CRAZY.

where did these kids come from?? did we seriously forget about two teen kids for sixteen years??

(things go off the rails when Sam and Tucker get in on the action.)

now, i'm putting this under DCxDP, cause of just ONE little detail. Ellie's obsession involves moving, right?

well, what if the Fenton family becomes a wandering family of crime-fighters/mad scientists with an interest in the occult?

what if they get on the JL's radar because of one too many supernatural cases being solved by the Fentons in the JL's local cities?

they're at Gotham? suddenly, it feels as if the air is lighter and that it's not as drenched in evil and insanity as before. what did they do? fought the curses in the local Lazurus Pit like someone wrestling a pig in their mudpen.

they're in Metropolis? Lex woke up one day to find his entire stash of Kryptonite was missing with no trace. what did they do? the triplets broke in after sensing the gems and ate them like candy, their natural ghostliness shorting out the security feed as they do so.

they're in D.C.? all of the ghost relics in the local museums have been stolen with only a note saying, "Sorry for the disturbance! These were too dangerous for the living, so we put them somewhere safe! Don't worry! :)" left behind. what did they do? they took them and chucked them into the ghost portal where some allies on that side put them in safe places.

and that's all i got.

TL,DR; Fenton family goes full mad scientist in order to welcome Dan and Ellie into the family before packing up and wandering the states, effectively gaining the JL's attention with their suspicious and crazy appearances.

(i hope i didn't accidentally steal this idea from another. if i did, i'm sorry. feel free to smack me or something if that's the case.)

#dc x dp #long post #Danail is apparently pronounced Dan-a-il? #idk how to but okay #also #yes i'm imagining the FentonWorks building just going around the states like a weird crab-spider thing #so they always have the ghost portal nearby for emergency ghost relic chucking #commit to the bit Fenton family #instead of being normal people and claiming adoption #they made clones of their son so their new kids could have better bodies #and gaslit everyone #they left for Ellie #and also #the townsfolk are divided on the issue #they needed a CLEAN bit #triplets Dan Danny and Ellie Fenton #Fenton Triplets AU #they got the same name because of how funny it would be to confuse everyone #they also wanted similar middle names to show Vlad how little they wanted to do with him #and to piss him off with how similar they are to Jack's name #they like to publicly flaunt their names before Vlad because of how mad he gets #and because he can't do anything about it

rewatching the borgias s3 and i'm kinda obsessed with how cesare won the idgaf war after spending years trying to convince rodrigo to give him the papal army, and after he jealously murdered juan for the position and rodrigo still didn't grant him the army, he started nonchalantly defying his father by doing whatever he wants and killing whoever he had in mind to the degree that rodrigo became fearful that cesare might one day usurp him, considering that he had no qualms about murdering his own brother. rodrigo believed that cesare would likely do the same to him...insane stuff

#rodrigo yelling at cesare's face “ARE YOU TO BE THE ONE WHO DECIDES ROME'S FUTURE?” sent me into orbit #then he added “who shapes our fate?!!?!” cause cesare is deciding everyone around him's destiny #literally no one gaslit gatekept girlbossed like duca valentino #i love messed up family dynamics #cesare borgia #rodrigo borgia #the borgias #the borgias meta #the borgias rewatch #period drama #period dramas #juan borgia #text post

Neil Gaiman did something right but so unhinged in recasting actors from good omens s1 as completely different characters in s2 just because uh. he liked them. the show explains in-universe why the prince of hell has a new face due to a recast but offers nothing for several s2 regulars being identical to rando s1 citizens and demonic nuns. are crowley and aziraphale too preoccupied with their mutual crush to notice the jaded lesbian barista recipient of their romantic meddling is the dimwitted satanist who fumbled the antichrist over a decade ago. NG said who cares when i'm having fun

#i deadass didnt even realise about the recast until TODAY rewatching s1e1 for the first time in years #i have not seen a word about it #im assuming everyone got it out of their system during s2 production #i felt so gaslit #but its so fucking funny and a decision showrunners should do more often #good omens #good omens season two #crowley #aziraphale #good omens nina #neil gaiman #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #ineffable bureaucracy

saying alicent is for the white conservative tradwives is sooo insensitive when what she experiences is relatable for a majority of woc

To be fair, I don't think it would have been that much of a good idea in terms of storytelling or plot for Belos to actually have freed The Collector. Considering that we know how far the kid's powers can go (Examples: Moving the fucking MOON, being able to dollify people, rearranging mass at will, etc).

Can't really blame him since there was a good chance The Collector was going to cause even more chaos.

Buuuuuuuuut, at the same time, I would have honestly loved to see how The Collector's and Belos dynamic would have been affected specifically, and how in turn that'd affect the fate of the Boiling Isles (considering that The Collector was the one who stopped the draining spell but like. mostly focusing on dynamics here).

I know damn well that if Belos tried, he'd basically have his whole plan set in stone. He spent so much time with this child, probably having to deal with The Collector's silly questions, tiring games (whatever games a shadow could play), and more, promising them to eventually set them free once in a while if the other asked for reassurance.

And eventually, he DOES end up freeing The Collector. The child would be the most happy he's ever been in centuries, because his 'best friend' actually freed him! He fufilled their promise, and they'd play so many games, just as they said years ago. So hey, it'd only be fair for The Collector to repay Philip for his kindness.

Take in mind too, Belos knows the in's and out's of this kid. After all, they did spent atleast 200+ years together, he's been emotionally manipulating this child since the start. And what happens when you pair that with complying to a request that was made from the very beginning? Unconditional trust.

I'd imagine that after The Collector was freed, he'd probably make the kid make another promise, probably along the lines of "Only listen to what I have to say, ok? The others wouldn't understand you at all, not like how I do. That way, we'll have even more fun as we play." (Honestly I made that up on the spot but you get the gist).

And y'know, Philip actually fufilled his first promise! So surely he isn't lying with this one either, so of course, Collector accepts.

Belos would probably be the most gaslighty he's ever been too.

Collector starts to doubt him? Words of affection and reassurance would be thrown his way immediately, probably even physical displays of it too.

Collector does anything that's against Belos wishes? Taking back all those previous positive reinforcements, saying how disappointed and hurt the man was after all he's done for the child, only to be doubted? Manipulation 101, everyone.

It'd all end with The Collector running back to Belos, because after all, he'd probably end up alone again, and that's the worst thing that could happen.

Honestly I could say so much more, but they're dynamic in canon is honestly complex enough and I don't have the braincells for it xd

#the owl house #toh #toh au #? #the collector #the collector toh #collector toh #belos toh #philip toh #emperor belos #character study??? #would it technically even count as that #its more like a different set of things happen #and like ig character dynamic study would fit more #but yeah in conclusion it would end... badly... #they'd probably still play a game of some sort against the boiling isles #like belos and collector vs everyone else #even harder to defeat collector because he's been gaslit too much #realizing that belos would technically be grooming the kid. eesh. #as if he couldn't get any worse 😭😭 #as much as i love them they are so unhealthy for eachother #apologies for the rant lmao

I'm seeing very terrible takes on Loki from official Marvel interviews going around

I just saw someone that worked on Loki (I think??) theorize that Loki could screw up the timelines, ruining his entire arc and destroying his character development, and S*lvie would have to intervene because "s*lkie endgame"????

Another article I saw that got massive hate was pointing out the (nonexistent) romance between S*lkie and Loki in s2, like fucking where

Another person I came across--and I forgot who it was--essentially said in a recent interview that Mobius and Loki were strictly platonic??? After all that shit?? You are joking

All of those articles I noticed were met with heavy backlash

Like, heavy, so much to the point it MUST be noticed

Idk wtf is going on but something needs to be said or done, because if they decide to continue with this story, either a s3 or something else, it's going to be decided by the worst possible people imaginable

Like fr, I've said it before, but are we all watching the same damn show? Because Loki's own creators clearly aren't

LGBTQIA+ media has been on a roll as of late, and from a business perspective, D*sney could seriously prophet off of that considering just how goddamn popular Lokius is above everything else. I hate saying that, but it's true.

But you should still cancel your subscription anyway since they support g*nocide--pirating Loki is morally correct, they got more than enough money

Massive note: I didn't watch this show for the ship or ship drama, I watched it for Loki. Please appreciate the show for what it is. Ships, etc, are totally outside of it.

#if you know you know and im sure everyone knows by now #im just so tired of terrible people ruining the things we love #like whats blatantly there is so fucking obvious #yet istg we're being severely gaslit due to their homophobia #gOtTA kEeP tHe BlOoDlInE pUrE banjo playing type shit with skylkie #man fuck this place #loki #loki s2 #lokius #loki series #plume posting

So pick your weapons up and throw your mercy down.

DILF ALERT, we have uhh Leo Dilisnya. Spoilers for our campaign below and in tags.

So we resurrected Leo Dilisnya, who was living as a bag o’ bones before my PC stole him out of Wachterhaus by some miracle of god. She resurrected him in the middle of a field using her blood, and it turned out that he was just a 400 year old starved vampire who really needed a drinky and hates Strahd more than anything.

So now he’s just hanging out with us and nothing will go wrong ever again because he is DEFINITELY not evil.

i do love the casual ominousness of 'i'll be joining you up front for your performance review. good luck." corporate horror

edit: okay just to add. vaguely ominous trolling is very on-brand for sephiroth and i'm very glad he was like that even before the reactor

#me.txt #i play games #ffvii rebirth spoilers #sephiroth has been cracking a LOT of jokes in the demo #also everyone's so friendly to 'cloud' in the demo that i feel like either i was being gaslit by decades of fanfic or cloud is just being.. #yknow #'cloud' #i've always headcanoned sephiroth as being very deadpan but likes messing with people even before the insanity. i like being vindicated.

Okay so I'm waking up in the morning and I'm having some Faerie Island hcs

And one of my few brain cells were like "hey it'd be kinda cool if the monsters of Faerie were to embody a sort of fairytale/fantasy archetype sort of thing right?" (Kinda like how RWBY had their characters based off of different stories and stuff-)

And then another one was like "Lol wouldn't it be funny if Edin was the bad guy's Evil Castle Lair™ instead of the Majestic Kingdom's Castle™ but no one realized because Edin never acts evil?"

And somehow, Edin Corruption/Villain Arc brainrot was made and now I'm thinking about ways to torture/manipulate a living space into Evil™-

#my singing monsters #msm #Wubbox #Epic wubbox #Msm OC #Faerie Island #How did I get here- #I'm imagining it happens as a consequence of events that transpire on Faerie that continuously break Edin emotionally/mentally #Or everyone on Faerie gets overrun by a bunch of shitheads (probably a gang or smth) and Edin gets used as the Evil Base™ #Which triggers the Corruption Arc #Bcus I cannot see Edin going evil willingly- he either has to be manipulated and gaslit into doing that or he needs to be broken down #To the point of insanity #Anyway ignore this if u don't want to read it lol #Sorry for putting this tag all the way down at the bottom-

i like going back to rewatch the hbg tommy tallarico video every once in a while because my dad is the exact same personality type as mr tallarico like the constant fraud and the tax evasion the bragging the constant lying and exaggeration like whatever is wrong with this guy is the same thing that's wrong with my dad. lying constantly and in the most obvious insane ways where the story changes every time and gets angry and throws tantrums whenever anyone doesn't believe him and even when it's clear that his con is up he continues to lie because he literally doesn't know how to tell the truth. like my dad lied about graduating from university and he had a fake uni grad photoshoot done so he could sell the lie and mailed the photos to my grandparents and everyone back home and still tells everyone he graduated from university even though we know he didn't. like there's something about seeing another grown man act the exact same way as him and millions of people being like "what the fuck is wrong with this guy" feels soooo validating actually lmfao

#like having someone like that as your parent genuinely is just. constantly getting gaslit and also him constantly asking for money #my dad scams people for money all the time and always has its fucking nuts #constantly taking money from people under false pretenses and never paying them back #exact same personality type #he racked up 25k in debt all on his own in the matter of 3 years and stuck my mom with it and she had to pay it off #still takes money from her constantly... still begs everyone he knows for money and tells them he'll pay them back later but hes lying #always claiming others accomplishments as his own #its fascinating
