DC x DP: The Adoptive Son
Danny Fenton gets lost in the Infinite Releams and without the Infinite Map, he has no hope finding his way home.
After wandering for weeks, he quickly realizes his human side is dying from lack of food and stress. With a heavy heart, he crashes lands in a new world, desperate for rest.
A new world that was seemed to behind in terms of technology. But he's not afraid of helping the world catch up if it means finding a way home.
He crashed in the middle of nowhere forest and after three days of walking by foot- too worn out to fly- he comes across Gotham.
Taking a page out of Vlad's book- as much as it makes him feel sick- he possesses people to get himself set up in the new world. He needs to find somewhere with enough money that he can build a S.O.S for his friends to find him.
And he needs resources to survive.
He finds a wealthy family who is so invested in breaking each other apart they didn't notice their sudden ease in wanting to adopt Danny.
Seemingly overnight, the Crowne family went from slowly collapsing to once more being at the top due to their adopted son Danny Crowne's genius mind. Despite his young age, his adoptive father allowed him to turn the family business from fashion design to medical and technical advances.
At age fourteen he sat within the board meetings slowly but surely taking over and raising the company's stocks and power.
They developed the first heart pumps, made leaps and bounds in cancer treatment, and created software and computer programs that and their prosthetics were the most advanced in the world.
There were rumors that the head design for all engineering projects- including the prosthetics- were all done by Danny Crowne. They were never confirmed.
Even business deals done by the Crownes were suspiciously so far in their favor many believed they were making deals with the multiple families of Gotham's underbelly.
That was also never proven.
Despite all the whispers about him, Danny Crowne was considered one of the brightest minds in Gotham. Everyone who spoke to him claimed he was a soft-spoken gentleman and was even compared to royalty from his regal composition.
Personally, Bruce has always had a bad feeling about Danny Crowne. He knows the boy is off in some way, all his Instincts scream danger when he's around.
At first, he was ecstatic to hear the Crownes had also adopted an orphan from a poor background. It had been a few years after he had gotten his ward, Dick. Despite it being five years since he first accepted Dick into his home, his ward had not made any friends besides Barbara Gordon. None of the elite children gave Dick the time of day pass making passive aggressive comments about him.
Then the news of Danny Crowne broke, and everyone knew he had practically been picked off the streets after the CPS had forced him into the juvenile hall as the only place that had space for him.
Just like Dick.
He had hoped that a similar past would help the two boys bond. He had tried pushing Dick into speaking to Danny, and had gone out of his way to personally invite the young man to a party he threw for all of Dicks classmates.
The first thing Danny Crowne did upon arriving at his house was step away from the crowd and study Bruce's home wiring. Dick later told him Danny made him feel strange, like the other boy would be one the loons they stopped during the night.
Bruce, stop pushing for their friendship.
Time moved on, but Crownes only grew in power, and by the time he took in Jason, Danny Crowne inherited his family assets after his adoptive parents mysterious deaths.
They began to look into Danny after Nightwing had discovered a trail of dangerous experiments from shell companies that all led back to Crowne Co. Jason also mentioned that a lot of street kids disappeared after Danny Crowne had turn his sights on them with a new charity program his company ran.
No one knew what happened to the kids and no one in the legal system seemed to care.
Bruce thought about the Crownes rise to wealth and felt sick. Had Danny been running a trafficking ring since his adoption? Had that escaped Batman's notice for four years?
Despite the fact they were still at eachother throats, both Bruce and Dick agreed to work togther to bring Danny Crowne down. How?
Simple.
Danny Crowne was openly bisexual and, according to Jason, who was half-raised by working girls, his eyes always followed Dick around the room.
Operation Honey Pot was a go.
(Danny didn't mean to stay here for four years but had built himself a home, and no natural portals were opening. He figured he could secretly construct his while helping abused kids find safe ways out of the city and start new lives. Technically illegal, no one had batted an eye when the kids vanished, so he figured getting them somewhere safe was more important. Indeed Batman had better things to do than track down kids in better foster homes. He test-ran the homes himself before placing the children. Yes, overshadowing made him feel bad, but he rather experienced the house before overshadowing the social workers into legalizing the stay under new names. He was sick of them sticking kids in juvenile halls just cause other foster homes were "out of jurisdiction".
At least his charities helped the age out kids succeed in life.
Now why was handsome Dick Grayson winking at him??? Gosh, that made him more nervous than all the lessons Clockwork forced him to take back when he was training to take the Ghost Throne. The classes helped him become one of the best CEO in the world, but they were also the reason he got into this whole mess to begin with. At least he looked regal when he spoke. )

🎵 Twinkle, twinkle small bat star. Those tiny feet help you walk far! 🎵
Tube feet are noodle-like appendages with tiny suction cup ends that are characteristic of the critters in the phylum Echinodermata—sea stars, urchins, sand dollars, and sea cucumbers. Those delightfully dainty feet are responsible for helping stars cruise along the seafloor, prying open shelled prey, and assisting in respiration. 
Sea stars pull water into their bodies through a hole on the top (the side opposite of the tube feet). By changing the water pressure in their bodies via this hole, called the madreporite, they can move their dozens of nifty noodle limbs. 
While our shooting stars may not be as swift as those in the sky, we shore think they shine bright!

Egyptian Fruit Bats are one of the few bat species in Palestine, though they span a wide range across Africa to Asia.
Maybe from my icon you can tell that I like these bats, so when I learned they were also in Palestine, I tried looking them up. I stumbled upon this video that shows the House of Bats in Old Jaffa. I searched about it, and ended up learning about cities that were colonised by Israel instead, Jaffa being one of them.
The Bat House is now a historical landmark in Tel-Aviv, which feels off-putting when you think of all the historical buildings Israel has bombed all this time.
If you read up on studies of Egyptian Fruit Bats, often times they would be conducted in Israel, specifically Tel-Aviv. So inevitably, my mind would be reminded of Palestine whenever I read about these bats. There's always a bitter, sickening feeling to this, that Israeli institutions are able to carry out and leading such research and advancements, while Palestine and its institutions are constantly being destroyed (x, x, x, x and many more), scholars and academics are killed and assassinated by Israel and its backers at any chance.
It's the outcome of colonialism every time apparently; the colonizers thrive while the indigenous suffer, resulting a huge gap of development among the groups.
I can't seem to put these in better words. I hope that Palestine will be free, the people will live, along with their wildlife, their trees, their produce, their lands, their homes. For their ecosystem to heal, to thrive prosperously.
Alternate designs under the cut. Free to use and spread around.

I think Rouge sometimes forgets that both of her dudes come from Basements in that while Omega bluntly inquires about whatever he doesn't know about, Shadow will go months pretending he knows what Rouge is referring to before quietly admitting he has no idea what shrimp is.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Why do starfish always win? Because they're a-head! A new study of starfish genes has revealed that what we thought were arms are actually just extensions of the starfish's head, each containing DNA corresponding to various areas of the brain. This suggests that, at some point in their evolution sea stars had a torso, but lost it and became only disembodied heads. You can read more about this fascinating discovery here!

I can't believe there are so few jokes about King miraculously fathering natural children by the original Seven Warlords of the Sea—six of whom are men—without any of them knowing.
A man as attractive as King could've repopulated the Lunarian race by himself through conventional methods but instead it came true thanks to cloning technology.

Holy mackerel, bat ray!
Tumblr media
While these excellent elasmobranchs are no caped crusaders, they do have some impressive tricks up their sleeves. These rays swim by flapping their giant bat-like wings—appearing to fly gracefully through the sea. When they need to rest, they use the sandy seafloor as their hideout—burying themselves so they remain hidden from view.

Hey, Fallon London Fans
...which is probably very few of my followers but hey that's how it goes. Anyway, I made a picrew for making custom Curators and I'm very excited about it! :0
I do intend to add more stuff to it later but it took so much effort to just do this much, I just wanted to get it done XP
Feel free to send me suggestions for it though, even if they'll take a while! (Also if there's any art errors, let me know about that also please.)
Here's my own Curator OC I made using this, Mr. Keys (who's based on a Townsend's Big Eared Bat):
Tumblr media
So yeah! Reblog this or tag me with the Curators you make, I wanna see 'em! :3
Curators are a species made by @failbettergames and featured in their browser game Fallen London, (which I highly recommend,) as well as two of their other games in the same universe, Sunless Seas and Sunless Skies. They are kind of hidden and secret though so if you don't know them this is technically kind of a spoiler, sorry XP

Rouge strikes me as the kind of person to know the history of the culture around her. She's a city girl. She knows the streets and the people who've made their home there. She knows where to get the best tamales and dim sum and hot dogs in the various neighborhoods. Where to shop, where to steal, where to visit and where to see. How it got that way. "A riot happened here," she explains to Shadow as they run down a specific road, "back in the day. And it changed things."
Shadow, then, is the equivalent of a small-town boy. And he's hit with just how much history and culture can be baked into a ten-mile radius. More foods than he could ever name, more foreign languages on shop signs than he could ever recognize, more histories and heritages than he ever knew were possible. He realizes that someone could spend a lifetime here and still not have experienced it all.
(And that gives him the only thing he looks forward to about the long future ahead of him. Instead of just one lifetime, he'll have several.)
(Maybe he could experience it all.)
