Mini WIP Wednesday
“It's just…” Jonathan hesitates thinking of how to phrase his feelings so that Nancy gets it.
Nancy, for her part, is patiently waiting for him to finish expressing his thoughts.
“It's inhumane don't you think?” he argues, taking a sip of his coke.
“Honey…” Nancy sighs, biting her lip and giving him a soft look.
He knows that look. Granted, the last time she looked at him like that his little brother but he finds that he appreciates her pity even less now.
“And it's-it's antiquated” he asserts.
“I agree but-”
“We should just ditch or-or protest or something” He cuts her off and her eyebrows shoot up to her hairline.
“Jonathan! It's the midterm assignment!” she cries.
He loves her, really he does, but compared to the death of a hundred innocent frogs, a failing grade isn’t that big of a deal.
“They pith the frogs, Nancy! You're honestly telling me you're ok with that?” He questions, loudly. At least, loudly for him.
“Well…”
“We've been watching them grow all semester and for what to kill them?” he argues, his voice cracking.
Nancy sighs again and looks away, suddenly very interested in whatever Eddie Munson is selling out of the back of his van. Jonathan pokes at their remaining shared lunch and hopes she won’t notice he’s lost his appetite. She must decide that Eddie isn’t all that interesting because she turns her attention back to him.
She opens her mouth but closes it again and frowns. Jonathan watches as she tries to come up with a solution that doesn’t involve getting held back. But he can tell that he’s given her a seemingly impossible problem to solve.
“We have to pass Bio” she resigns, defeated.
“I know but…”
“Tell you what, I'll do the dissection and you can just write the notes ok?” Nancy offers with a big smile.
Jonathan nods, but it’s not really ok. He just doesn’t feel the need to upset her or make her worry more than he already has. But there has to be some more ethical third option. He just needs a minute to think without being distracted by her.
“I’m gonna run to the library” he announces, collecting his things.
“What?”
“Yea, I gotta go turn in a book. I just remembered” he fibs in a rush.
“Do you want me to come with you?” she asks, sweetly and he nearly says yes.
“No uh no it’s fine” he lies.
“Are you mad at me?” Nancy worries.
“Of course not” he reassures, kissing her forehead “I’ll see you later”

listen everyone just sit and listen and Hear Me Out for a minute, so i have a little theory (mostly headcanon) as to how mamoru came up with the whole tuxedo mask persona (mostly bc i reject a lot of the 90s anime canon. like i refuse to believe tuxedo mask was just. a past life thing. No.)
anyway. so in codename sailor v, mina has her own little helper of her own, kaitou/phantom ace (or just ace) now theres like. A Lot. of intentional parallelism of ace n mamoru, but even just superficially hes a mysterious, gentleman-thief like character, who wears a domino mask, and has dramatic over the top entrances, now ace was as popular as v and was on the news and a lot, and well. tuxedo mask had to have come from Somewhere, right?
like we all know usagi looked up to sailor v like A Lot (and in pgsm she even has her own sailor v-sona and its like the cutest thing ever) so if im connecting the dots correctly. mamoru is literally just a kaitou ace fanboy

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !
Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)
I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!
someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)
uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

Escaped clone au
You know all those fics where Danny and Damian are twins but everyone first assumes Danny must be a clone? How about an au where Danny is Damian's clone who escaped the League after he was assumed dead. Damian could even have been the one to have "killed" him, back when Danny was a newly created, fully brainwashed clone minion and trying to kill Damian himself.
Danny gets adopted by the Fentons and canon goes on as normal, until Dan. Witnessing what would happen to the world should he turn evil really drove home to Danny how dangerous he is.
Even if he was confident he could be trusted with his absurd amount of power (which he isn't), what if the League of Assassins found out about him? Does he still have programming triggers from his evil assassin clone conditioning?
So, Danny does the responsible thing: he goes to Batman to turn himself in.
Cue Danny showing up on Bruce's doorstep with ghost hunting equipment, intel on the afterlife, and an almost unbelievable backstory. Somehow he still managed to be more well-adjusted than Damian.
More thoughts under the read more
Here's how I'm thinking Danny leaving the League went down:
After surviving his wounds but failing his mission, Danny (then an unnamed potential Damian replacement) knew there was no point in returning to the League. As a failure, he was meant to be disposed of. He even thought of simply allowing himself to perish, since that was what the League would do.
But he couldn't help but feel as though that would be a waste of a resource. Surely he could be of more use to the League alive than dead?
That tiny bit of rebellious logic is what caused Danny to go into hiding, only living on based on the off chance he would find opportunities to further the League's goals. Obviously, that mentality didn't last long after being exposed to the real world and meeting one Jazz Fenton.
Being adopted by the Fentons was the best cover Danny could have asked for, since any odd behavior he couldn't hide while he was learning how to be "normal" was totally overshadowed by the sheer bizarre eccentricity of his new parents. He was still the neighborhood weird kid, but even that was a major upgrade from disposable tool, so Danny considered it a win.
Anyway, if anyone likes this idea, please feel free to have at it! Interpret it as you please :)

Timelines, Red Robins, and Kings
When Tim Drake, who was tossed in the Pits after losing his spleen, suddenly crash lands in Clockworks Tower during Danny's Ghost King lessons, all the time keeper says with a 'I know more than you' smile "Ah, so it's this timeline being played out. How fun this will be. Danny, come. I have a new... friend for you to meet."
"CW...." Danny starts, staring unbelievable at his Ghost King mentor before sighing "Why are you like this?"
"Hush now my King. You will thank me later for the introduction between you both but for now summon forth Frostbite, we'll need his medical expertise for this one "
