Oh my god!!???
*Dick crashes out while on patrol and beats someone within an inch of their life*
Bruce: Dick might be a little bit fragile after last night, so let’s try to be sensitive.
Jason: Oh, believe me- I am going to be nothing but nice to Dick from now on. If he snaps and goes on a rampage, who do you think he’s coming for first?
Bruce: He’s not going on a rampage.
Tim: I bet he’d let me live. He likes me.
Damian: I’m just gonna say it. I never trusted him.
So because I am just a sucker for angst, I can just imagine that after the relics are created (i hc that the rest of DW [minus Irene] didn't realize what the others sacrifices would be) they talk of visiting Hyria and the little girl (i can't name either so) and while they do Shad seems to leave the conversation (mentally or physically) and they eventually just stop talking about it.
Eventually, they end up visiting Hyria again and don't see the little girl, asking where she is. At that the conversation stills and Hyria looks first to Shad, who was on the verge of tears, then to Irene, saying they needed to talk later. After that Hyria just avoids answering the question all together.
Throughout that vist Shad and Hyria seem much closer than ever.
[This is just my silly little rambles. I have hardcore beef with Irene.]
blazeron anon :3 do you ever think about irene and shad's daughter? because i do. a lot. it's a special ability of mine to fixate on the most minuscule characters possible :3 anyway i found an old fic i wrote where said daughter was adopted by hyria because idk man this was years ago never finished it :D
Blazeron anon are we the same person?!
I HAVE BEEN THINKING ABOUT SHAD AND IRENE AND THEIR DAUGHTER LITERALLY ALL MORNING THIS IS INSANE
Anyways I just fully came to terms with this characters existence today when thinking about how I want to develop Shad's character, so I don't have a lot of thoughts that aren't just me making fun of MCDs writing (my bread and butter). But I have been thinking about the kind of life she had before Irene did... That. To her.
Because we don't know how old she was (at least I don't think we do), but I imagine she was at least a toddler, if not older. Alina is like 3 in MCD Season 3, and I want their daughter to be a little older than that so that way Shad feels even more pain seeing Alina because he can almost pretend she never died because she didn't grow past this age for very long the first time but maybe she can this time. I also don't have a name for their daughter because I'm terrible at naming things but I'll figure it out eventually.
Anyways imagining this five year old girl picking flowers in the forest around Hyria's cottage and coming home to give them to Hyria, Kul'zak, and Irene and all four of them weave flower crowns for each other. The Divine Warriors have a whole Flower Crown thing that's evolved into its own beast in my rewrite that's an entire post unto itself. But this girl made soooo many flower crowns. Especially ones for her Mom/Dad when she was staying with the other parent and waiting for the other to "come back home", not quite realizing the decayed state of her parents relationship, and that there's a reason "home" described about half a dozen locations important to her.
All the Divine Warriors probably knew her. Held her. Had memories with her. With Irene, with Shad, with the entire family. And I don't know if Irene ever told any of them the truth about what happened to her.
Every time I think about this child my heart breaks
Gerard wearing red made it all over for them, now they all needed to be color coded /j
Ok but I actually didn't think to make them follow the among us sprite's colours, it was after that I realised that I could match them with the sprites lol
For all my mutuals who’ve been posting about House recently
I give you this newspaper comic from 2011
will make a bigger post about this later but i've been thinking about my rewrite lately, specifically the jury. Was thinkin about how (Zane excluded) there were 8 jurors, and how since I wanted the DW to all be foils of each other, I wanted the jurors to all be foils of each other (idk if foil is the right word here but yall get it i think)
Then I started thinking about how I want Irena and Shad to be foils of each other, and "dang I really want Zane to have a foil, specifically for his role as an extension of Irena, but who could that be??" and it's like. Aaron is right there.
Because like?? Irena literally destroyed Shad's life. Killed his child, tore apart his family, and banished him from his home. All for her own selfish wants.
And then Zane does LITERALLY the exact same shit to Aaron. I can't remember how much of this is canon vs rewrite, but the pieces fit together a little too perfectly lmao
Boop
I've seen a bunch of Batfam adopting Danny (and I love every one!), but it's stated that Jack comes from a long line of ghost hunters. So, what if his cousin John visits, and:
His nephew is dead and living with ghost hunters
The lab and house in general is so dangerous, he's understandably worried about Jazmine
Outing Danny as dead would likely have terrible consequences, so he offers some internships. Come on Jack, it's a few months and Jazz can learn from the Black Canary! And Danny can learn from me for a while!
He gets summer break permission, starts working on adoption plans, and starts crying when he realizes he's pulling a Batman
Jazz graduates, stays with Constantine.
Constantine realizes Danny is HALF alive and talks to ghosts, cue 1980's bonding montage
Vlad shows up, runs tf away after Constantine is halfway through an exorcism
Constant custody arguments with Batman "you have like 500 kids! Leave mine alone!"
ADHD uncle & ADHD nephew solidarity!
"Constantine is right, Batman. Besides, he's got superpowers on the level of mine, so-" "CAN IT, CLARK!"
Danny has an unfairly large crush on Supes (space!), until he finds out Kon is his clone and how he treated him. After that? "Nah, you're MY clone now."
"But I'm a clone of-", " No, as the 1 person here with a good relationship with their clone, I'm taking clone rights. C'mon I'll teach you how to be ghosty."
YOU HAVE A CLONE?!
Dani shows up, Constantine is ready to throw hands at Batman AND Superman because that is HIS niece, Dani thinks of it as adopting Constantine.
There's some massive JL problem, Danny shows up to ask his uncle something. "Not now, Danny. I'm sorry, I'm working on summoning the Ghost King."
"I've got a quick way to talk to him!"
"You know the Ghost King?" "I AM the Ghost King!"
This is sooo much better
Im the only fucker that thinks aaron should of looked like this in mcd dawg...
LIKE HIS DESIGN IS SO OUT OF PLACE NEXT TO EVERYONE
