first look at desert tunes
so, i've been working on a little something for over a year now and i think it's time to finally show some of it to someone other than my close friends (love 'em dearly). it's finally getting some form and even tho i'm still very far from finishing this baby, it's getting real.
The Desert Tunes is my fanmade comic featuring my original characters as well as our well known and beloved characters from the true lives of the fabulous killjoys. it's answering the question of what lead to the fact that the 'joys were killed and tells the story of how easily it could've been avoided.
here's a sneakpeek- first three pages of the first chapter.

I just watched the videos for danger days, and I really didn't want to cry today. Like, I just really can't wait to read the comic.

Transcription of Dr. Death Defying Radio Show, Special Holiday version, 14th February, 2019.
Couple: Party Poison/Dr. Benzedrine
[static]
Show Pony: …Oh, are we on? Hello, my favourite people of all people! I am your most beloved and requested host, Show Pony! Today is the 14th of February, you guessed it, it’s Valentine's Day! The advice of the day is to fucking tell that one joy that you are pastel for them, because personally, I think pastel is a cool word.
Now, last year, we brought on some Cherri Cola poetry actions and a special love song from our dearie Mad Gear. He played a wonderful melody dedicated to Missile Kid, who was, funnily enough, in the next room. I saw that you guys definitely enjoyed the special guests, so I figured, why don’t we have more this year? After all, it would be so boring to hear my lovely voice rambling all day, right?
So, without further a-do-a-dee, let’s welcome our new people. For privacy purpose, we are going to use nicknames so there’s no point finding them, folks, you better get rid of the idea!
Murder Wizard: Hi, I’m Murder Wizard.
Nosebleed: I’m Nosebleed.
Show Pony: Okay, let’s make this straight, you guys are a couple, yeah?
Murder Wizard: Pony, that is not the definition of straight. But yes, we are.
Show Pony: Wonderful! Happy Valentine! So, any plans for the day?
Nosebleed: Considering the fact that you knocked on our door at an unholy hour in the morning to drag us here, no, not really.
Murder Wizard: Sorry, he didn’t get enough sleep last night. We were busy-
Nosebleed: I dare you to finish that sentence.
Murder Wizard: …Alright.
Show Pony: Boys, boys, calm down. I know that this is my fault. To make up for it, how about we play a fun little game and I’ll let you guys go?
Murder Wizard: Sure.
Show Pony: Cool! The game is simple. I had some questions regarding love sent in from some killjoys out there who need advice, and you will have to answer them.
Nosebleed: You know that I should be the last person to ask for love advice, right?
Show Pony: I mean you got yourself this crash queen right here as proof that you got something up your sleeve, no?
Nosebleed: I think it’s because Murder Wizard is kinda fucked in the head.
Murder Wizard: Hey!
Show Pony: Let’s see… the first question is from a gentleman called Fusion Heatstroke. ‘Hello, Show Pony and whoever the guests are. I’m in a situation where I made a really bad first impression with this motor baby and I want to change that. Any advice?’.
Murder Wizard: That’s an easy fix. Just show ‘em that you’re better than what you showed. Like meeting them a lot, being nice and so on!
Nosebleed: You weren’t particularly nice to me.
Show Pony: What is your first impression of the other?
Murder Wizard: This guy is no fun.
Nosebleed: You still say that all the time, though?
Murder Wizard: Never admitted that I was wrong.
Show Pony: What about you, Nosebleed?
Nosebleed: Fucking annoying son of a bitch.
[someone yelled]
[static]
Show Pony: Please leave the fight after the show. Okay, let’s move on. This next question is from… oh, a familiar name, Tommy! What an honor! ‘Not really a question, but I want to get someone away from their crew from time to time, and I need a list of excuses ASAP. Whoever Show Pony brings on must be able to answer this, right?’
Murder Wizard: I take this as a challenge. Fixing a broken down vehicle, needing a helping hand at your store, you name it. It’s actually pretty easy, and my advice to you is to ask them privately before letting the crew know, ‘cause like, if the other person already agreed then what’s the point in stopping them, you know?
Show Pony: You seem experienced, Murder.
Nosebleed: You never had to do that with me. I’m wondering, where does this come from?
Murder Wizard: No! I saw… uh, that blond friend of yours using those shits to get my blond particle of the group away all the time!
Nosebleed: Fair enough.
Show Pony: Then what does Murder do to get your attention, Nosebleed?
Nosebleed: They are like, constantly invading my home and personal space. It never changes. I’m just better at enduring them.
Murder Wizard: I love you, too.
Show Pony: Leave that to the pillow talk and let’s move on to our final question so I can let you two disgusting creatures go-
Murder Wizard: Oh yeah? And who begged us to fill in because you were left hanging by a certain other couple?
Show Pony: This is from someone who would like to remain anonymous. Thank you for joining in! ‘How do I tell them that I am pastel for them? I don’t think just one sentence is enough, and a whole speech sounds kinda cringe to me.’
Nosebleed: Murder is good with speeches, I can give them that.
Murder Wizard: I am!
Nosebleed: Anyway, the point is that you get your feelings across, I believe, and do what you feel like it’s best. Other than that I don’t know what to tell you.
Murder Wizard: Getting philosophical, are we?
Nosebleed: At least I’m being helpful.
Show Pony: Since Murder is good at doing a speech, how about you declare your love to Nosebleed right here, right now? You have 10 seconds to prepare if you want.
Murder Wizard: I don’t need that crap. Ahem.
I love you to the moon and back, and then another 10 rounds around Zone 7. I would take down Battery City, sell my car, or even cut off my own arms and legs if they mean you will give me just a smile. I swear under the Witch and Destroya or whatever God is looking down at us that my love for you is undying, even if we’re dusted and gone. My love will bleed into the air you breathe, and it’s so much that you will breathe the same air in your next life walking this Earth.
[silent]
Show Pony: Wow, you don’t even stop to breathe.
Murder Wizard: Thanks.
Show Pony: Nosebleed?
Murder Wizard: Nosebleed, what are you- Get off me! We’re in the studio- Hmph!
Show Pony: Ew! Get a room, you two!
[something crashed]
[static]
Show Pony: Well, I guess that will be the end of today’s special Valentine show. I hope you find it fun, yeah, fun. Anyways, thank you for tuning in! I will see you next time!
[radio signal stopped]
[silent]

Supervillains for a community. (Well, except those jerks over in Gotham, insular lot, but they’re they’re one problem) Of course they do- supervillains are a group defined by strong opinions and a willingness to see them through, often with a healthy dash of societal failures and trauma as a catalyst.
The fentons, while not active even on the online message boards, are well known and explosive when they do show up, full of fascinating insights and hours long rants on mad science on hair pin turns courtesy of that ADHD attention span. Bit of the cryptids you feel honored to bump into kind of deal. Besides, like a good quarter of the community as it aged, they’d settled down and had kids (not necessarily in that order) and taken it very seriously! Out in the middle of nowhere, where even the most fearsome government outpost members, the local branch of the IRS, quake before them in fear. Out of the way.
Reveal gone okay-ish, Danny moves to Gotham still to get some air bc now things are Akward and he landed that engineering scholarship which is loads better than any other college would give him with his track record. So- the mysterious Fenton children are finally crawling out of hiding! Everyone is psyched! And roll in to Gotham en masse to witness the fireworks!
Except Danny is Determined To Be Normal. He’s had enough of the throwing himself into harms way shit for a lifetime- he wants to be free to peacefully built Rube Goldberg machines and unintentional increasingly complex bombs to his hearts content. JAZZ, on the other hand- the coveted token Normal One, has finally snapped! She’s watched her baby brother she practically raised throw himself into danger over and over and could do nothing, and now that she’s exposed to this whole network of superheroes outside of small town Amnity, some of those uglier emotions are coming out. And boy is she pissed! And can’t afford to show it much while filing the paperwork to have Arkham legally razed to the ground!
See I love this idea of like, niches in superhero society. A villain the heroes know they can plop their kiddo down with for an exciting afternoon brawl while they take care of a particularly grisly case and come back to a few hours later ranting about some new life lesson and a new move they really want to try. A villain who has a functioning moral compass despite their somewhat batshit long term goal and you can contact to fuck with another villains’s plan so they can laugh at them and you can have an easy afternoon. One who pries up hostile architecture and fills in pot holes, idk man. Get creative here, there’s such potential!
So Jazz becomes a Training villain- someone the heroes know their sidekicks will walk away from in a fight 100% of the time, usually with some new lesson to ponder and only a couple of bruises. Sometimes even snacks!
She also absolutely ambushes mentors to check that they’re worth the kiddo, which they appreciate once they get over being jumped in a dark alley by a 7 foot Amazon trained force of nature. They are not used to being on that side of the jumping, it’s a little unnerving.
(Yes, she low key adopts Shazam upon checking in with him on cursory ‘is the main hero of this city and asshole’ checkin. Yes, the super clones get yoinked out from under Superman’s negligent thumb to go have a blast with Ellie. What about it?)
This however only encourages more assorted weirdos to crawl out of the woodwork. It’s not often one of their own forfeits their potential spot for the running of the coveted Most Normal I Swear prize, but when they do it’s bound to be good! But jazz is off hounding various heroes and punching the faces in of pedophiles and shit whenever there’s no cape within easy reach, and so is a mite bit harder to contact than Danny, who has innocently gotten an apprenticeship under a clockworker for access to their workshop and is gleefully going about doing nerdy shit with great abandon.
Plus this is Gotham. No one gives a shit if someone in the Mad Alchemist uniform and still smoking from their latest experiment pokes their head in a window to bother the local shrimp teen- none of the usual social rules apply, everyone’s crazy here! So everyone drops any and all attempts at masking and just acts their genuine unhinged selves, much to the alarm of the Bats and frustration of Danny.
Bc he cannot get these mfers to go. Away. Even liberal use of the creep stick has little effect when the interloper is calibrated for an opponent with super speed or laser vision or whatever, and he’s trying to maintain his guise as a Normal College Student Do No Investigate.
So he calls in the big guns. He’s not super active in the supervillain kids group chat ever since things in amnity calmed the fuck down post becoming King and then immediately using a loophole that says he will not take the throne until he is grown, as defined by finishing learning his trade a la the medieval standards Pariah set up. So he can just take his sweet ass time with his graduate degree and out of inter dimensional bull shit that much longer! Point is, he hasn’t taken the chance to rant over there in a while, so his Crazy friends are getting a lil worried.
The change to come over and shout at their batshit crazy but (mostly) well meaning parent AND see Danny? Score!
The bats, however, are getting awfully suspicious about this one kid that villains from all over the country are flocking to, especially young and upcoming ones as of recently! And he’s acting his engineering course- all the worst rogues are known to have flown through their PhD studies prior to Cracking. They seem to have a real problem on their hands with this Fenton guy.

DO NOT BE AFRAID
this is combining Ovid's Heroides and the Excidium Troie because I can't stop thinking of Hermes telling him not to be afraid. what the fuck!! Ares is wearing the crown that Paris gave him.
I have. thoughts. about Paris. he's almost got this Troilos parallel in my mind, that the event that defines him in detail exists in a lost narrative that we don't have (the Cypria), but everyone else knew. the event that defines Troilos is his death (murdered, butchered by Achilles, the violence of which haunts everything after. Achilles, child killer, you can't escape that!), and the event that defines Paris is the Judgement. what's a lost text but a kind of grave!!
idk I don't think that Paris before the Judgement would recognize himself after bc when you become god touched, it rearranges your guts. you become transformed in the worst way possible! how could you recognize yourself! but I also think that all the Parises after the Judgement would recognize each other because that event is so locked into the trauma of war and the scar it leaves on the land, it's like a scar on the narrative too. it exists like this forever, over and over again, so you exist like that forever too. Troy collects grief and despairs.

grant morrison being in the danger days music videos is the funniest thing to me. because gerard way really said “hey can we get my comic book writer hero to be in this video and play the sexy bad guy” and grant was like hell yes
but. but then Sing. literally has a shot of grant pinning gerard against the wall and caressing his chin with the end of a gun, before they smirk and pull the trigger. gerard literally go-directed and planned these videos. they, at some point, had to sit down with grant and be like “okay here’s the plan” and grant just rolled with it
i think gerard had some fantasies to live out there
