~Welcome~

-------------------

So, danny definitely knows his heritage in this au. He was the spare to Damien's heir, and while their relationship was strained by the constant competition, they still love each other, even when Danny started to show more proficiency in infiltration and subterfuge than assassination. Damien and Danny have a huge fight before Danny leaves, with Damien swearing to never forgive Danny for his betrayal, while Danny is like "what betrayal??? I just cant bring myself to kill someone outside of self-defense??"

(One of the things I hate about Danny and Damien Twin AUs is this depiction that, just because (usually) Danny is unwilling to kill, that makes him weak and a traitor. You think the medical staff in the LoA are assassinating people? Or the lawyers? He's not useless, he's just not good as an assassin)

He was sent to the Fentons at like... seven? eight? to study how the Fentons are purifying lazurus waters from Jack and Maddie, both of whom are partly sponsored by the League of Assassins. He's also learning more about spying from Jack, surprisingly, because no one would expect him of being a top tier spy. He has the occasional mission as a child, but it's mostly shadowing Jack to learn how to spy.

Danny sends letters to both Talia and Damien regarding updates on his training and the Fenton's research, but after a year of no reply from Damien, it's only to Talia. He's feels super hurt by this, and abandoned by the LoA, but the Fentons are kind and familial, and Talia visits once a year. She's unwilling to risk visiting more often, lest she risk getting the JL or the Spiders attention, but sometimes she even manages to visit on his birthday!

(Meanwhile, Talia starts sending birthday assassins to kill Damien so she can spend their birthday with Danyal. She's a really hot and cold mom.

Talia: You can choose me, and have a birthday dinner. Or you can choose your father and have a birthday assassin. You're choice. )

When Slade blows up the LoA, Danyal is given permanent orders to remain as Daniel Fenton until Talia, and only Talia, brings him back to the League. No missions and only one letter every six months. But when Ra's comes back to life and the League is back in power, Talia... never tells Danyal. Because she's seen how happy Damien is being a normal child with their father and wants that for Danyal too. Plus, she wants to continue to have a good relationship one of her children, sue her bruce.

So Danny is completely convinced that the League is mostly gone other than his mother, her zealots, and knows that his brother is living with their father. and he's... relieved. His brother is safe, and his mom told him their grandfather was avenged, so Danny can just enjoy his life. Which he does.

He sends out his six month report days before the portal accident.

Canon stuff happens until Danny is sixteen and Vlad, the fruitloop, steps down as CEO and strong-arms Danny into becoming CEO in his place. Jack and Maddie (who at this point know [or have always known in Jack's case, adn Danny didn't appreciate his dad using his his poker face against him like that] about Phantom) are thrilled.

Vlad is using his "foster son" (Dark Danny, but in this idea, he's Dante Masters) as an excuse as to why he's stepping down, since Dante needs all the attention he can give as a "troubled youth". Danny secretly hopes Dante kills Vlad in his sleep, but signs the papers away.

And there's so much work.

Danny has some idea of what he's doing (Vlad co is a tech company and DALV is weapons manufacturing, plus vlad gave him a crash course on CEOing). Sam and Tuck even help! But he wishes there was someone who could understand the pain of being a CEO while still a teen. But... his father's son, his brother, is one such person. And even though the other would never know, he really wanted to get to know his other siblings. So Danny reaches out for advice to Timothy Drake-Wayne.

Tim is immediately on guard when this Damien clone walks into his office claiming to be the new Vlad Co CEO. The clone acts nothing like Damien, but he still thinks this Danny Fenton is a league plant.

His paranoia doubles when Damien freaks out and confesses that A) Danny is apparently his twin brother and B) that he's been with the League of Assassins this whole time. Damien, who really doesn't want to admit that the reason he forced himself to forget his brother was because said brother didn't want to kill people, says "Tch. I didn't want to associate with the likes of him, so I put him out of my mind." Tim now believes that he's dealing with a master assassin with a huge grudge against Damien and Danyal showing no signs of malicious or aggression in their meetings only convinces him that Danyal is a master actor too.

Dalv suddenly has the best vacation package, Wayne tech introduced a better medical plan, LexCorp now pays for childcare all the way from birth to college, etc. They're one upping eachother all over the board & simultaneously taking over their respective sectors of business.

Tim is like 92% sure he's hallucinating and kon wants a vacation.

Danny: You want to marry me off so soon Mother? Have I done something wrong?

Danny heard the small intake of breath as his Mother suddenly changed her mind. Ah ys, good old emotional manipulation. He's so glad it works even as she realises he is doing it. He blinked furiously to Warren his eyes before forcing a sad expression to look her in the eyes.

His Mother sighed and placed her hands on his cheeks. He could see her crumble beneath his watery eyes pout. Not to mention the tone he used. Worked every time.

Talia: Not engaged? Then why are you doing all of this?

Danny: You know Vlad decided to take a step back to try and rehabilitate Dante. He decided I was his heir. The fruitloop. I mean really! So, I made friends! You know I'm far too young for marriage and children!

Talia: Very well my child. I will wait. Perhaps your sisters? What plans have you for your coming birthday?

Danny: As I do every year I keep the day free to spend with you! You really should send something other than assassins after Dami though. I don't think he understands your message!

Tim:.... Wait, they aren't you telling him you hate him?!?!??

Danny: See! I told you a venomous snake would be better!

Tim: Do not!!! No! Non venomous! Demon brat would slip it in my room!

Kon: Eh, he hasn't tried to kill you in like... 6 months now?

Danny: Huh..... He's still got no control then? I've never attempted to murder my sister's! Or even Damian!

Talia: Yes dear. Your lack of murder attempts on anyone is why we trained you in espionage. You just don't have the killer instinct. And you would be so good with your infiltration skills!

Tim:...... Wait.. What?!?!?!?

Danny: Why did you think Dami disdained me? I've never killed anyone. He always hated that. And since he's been told no murder? Probably scared out Father would like me more. Which he wouldn't. I'd drive him mad.

Talia: I suppose I could send him new weapons.... Very well. Danyal! Tell me when you do get engaged. I wish to be there for the wedding!

Danny: Of course Mother.

Talia leaves and Tim just stared at Danny for a bit. Because... Well that was a lot of new information. Also.... What was up with Talia???

Tim: You can manipulate Talia???

Danny: What? Like it's hard? I AM her son. Admittedly only me and Ellie can do it. But still. Dami just never had the emotional knack.

Tim:/.... So we should have dropped Damian at Park Row High... Why didn't we think of that?

Danny: I mean. Also no one knows I'm Bruce's bio kid? I belong to the two but job scientists? So....

Kon: Ah yes. Rich bitch privilege.

Danny: I was always the calmer twin anyway. He has always been a bundle of rage. Mother not being good at showing her love in a normal fashion certainly doesn't help.

Tim: Yeah... About that.... Why is your relationship so... Normal?

Danny: It really isn't. Just you know. Compared.... Plus I never shit Mother out. Dami clings to our Father so tightly. Mother felt... Abandoned. Which is ridiculous but Mother hardly has emotional health. Ra's needs to stay dead. Frankly he's lost sight of his original goals a long ass time ago!

-----

This whole meeting has been recorded. And Tim very quickly sent it to Bruce and Damian. Bruce of course is flipping out. Talia his another son from him! Damian hid a twin from him! At least he seems same enough? But dammit Talia! And he doesn't appear to want anything to do with Bruce..... Which is hurtful.

i NEED his emotions to BUILD. to have them PILE UP. he's feeling SO much. TOO much and he DOESNT KNOW WHAT TO DO. if all he can properly express right now is anger i NEED him lashing out

Wow! You really haven't changed at all Dami. Still angry as ever I see. You know Mother only likes me best because I actually spent time with her right? Didn't cling to Ra's every word and command? Boring! While dodging around Damian winding him up even more.

And when a kid would assert something incorrect In class, he wouldn't tell them they were wrong, he would help lead them to the right answer and then when they admitted/ accepted the new information, he'd say "now we're both right! Nice work!"

Fabric dyeing for cosplay part 2

Today without yapping, so just sit, relax and enjoy these compositions of beautiful colors and factures I came up with while searching for these destined ones.

3 main colours: kimono, Hakama, kyahan&tabi:

Backpack pallette

Hakama pallette

Tabi & kyahan

Backpack materials

All cords and threads

Experimental fabric for little pouch (for money to pay ✨travel pass✨)

And some unexpected greens and others

Thank you for today 🫶

look at her she's so cute and happy i love this photo

You can learn how to make them here, but this video is in Japanese. If you have basic sewing knowledge, you should be able to get it.

There is no pattern, only a cutting guide. 2 meters of fabric is able to do it perfectly with no fabric waste whatsoever.

Perfect for people who always feel like their clothes never fit! If you are concerned about the size, here are the pants on me (5', 90lbs) and my husband (6'1, don't know but he looks like fanart of Laios).

if you think you are bigger than my husband, all you have to do is scale the rectangles up so this measurement is 1/4 of your waist measurement.

But don't worry if it isn't perfect.

You can wear them as regular pants, or over kimono.

I want you to make these pants. Make monpe and experience the joys of adjustable clothing that will stay with you for years. Experience the joy of sewing something you know will fit and be well-made and usable, with no precise measurements besides hemming them to your height. Put on these pants and feel superior because you made something that the store could never give you.

of course grace is delighted! but it'd be very funny if rocky had just. a massively specific regional accent. and now grace has it too. all the eridians from that area are like OMG THE ALIEN IS ONE OF US - we're adopting it. that's an honorary member of the clan. listen to it. it might as well have grown up here.

...actually i'm gonna do it. fuck it. rocky is space scottish. to me. he's mine now, i'm taking him out to look at the kelpies and the falkirk wheel and climb up ben ledi. he can go fishing in a loch. and now grace's eridian accent is their equivalent of scots. he says stuff to adrian's family (posh motherfuckers) and theyre like 'i think it's trying to communicate with us..?' meanwhile adrian, well used to rocky's accent by now, is like 'it's giving you a compliment. be nice to my spouse's alien, please.'

Hey do you guys remember when a lucky minority of us were able to see one of the most beautiful and reclusive bands in the world perform live and in person?

And those of use who were in attendance, we decided individually and simultaneously to clap along to one of their most beloved songs the first opportunity we had?

And in response that band smiled and laughed along with us, like they were in awe of our presence and not the other way around???

Yeah, me too.

Anywayyy, after months (sorry) I have finally found the time and motivation to compile my photos, videos and audio recordings of the Amazing Devil performance at the Hay Festival back in May. I also included audio of the Its Not a Cult interview that Joey and Madeleine did at the start. Yay! 😄 Here is the link to my Google Drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IQ2fvJM-q5rdHocVmrinU0kcS1s_rj83?usp=drive_link

Please let me know if you have any issues accessing it (or if I messed something up)! The previews of the videos on Drive are super compressed, but if you download them they should be much better quality.

I know other fans have already posted their audio and videos of the event so I am not sure if this is really desired by anyone anymore, but I wanted to do it for myself and the few others who might still enjoy it. Plus, I wanted to keep my promise! ☺️
