The Most Chaotic Animal to Exist: Ferrets
So, you've seen that one post about how Danny becomes the Ancient of The Void, and it's a ferret? And the reblog of him becoming friends with Space, and it's another ferret?
What if... What if there were other powerful ideas or things or whatever that were also ferrets?
Like, you know how Clockwork is the Master of Time?
What if Time was a ferret? Or MULTIPLE ferrets??? Past, Present, and Future anyone??? Or maybe one for each dimension? Or one that has the ability to duplicate???? Or maybe each thing that represents time is given a ferret: one for a clock, another for a calendar, a sun dial, stopwatches, timers-
Dreams. Each dream is a ferret. Nocturn just loves his ferrets. Or maybe it's sleep in general that's a ferret and dreams are just food for it. AND THAT'S WHY NOBODY REMEMBERS ALL THEIR DREAMS. Scientists say that people have like- 4 dreams on average in 8 hours (might've butchered that, it's been a while since I heard that bit. but it's multiple dreams nonetheless... Fever dreams are starting to make a lot of sense now...)
You know what else would be an Ancient? Luck. Like- Lady Luck. It would be funny if she was just the guardian of a bunch of gold ducks, but it would also be pretty cute if the embodiment of Luck is a ferret.
What else could be an Ancient? Idk.
But I'm thinking that this would follow the headcanon about Ancients being a Concept given existence. The Living thought them up and believed enough, but the concept or base element of it all was always there.
Then when you think about DC with deities, it all makes sense. They need belief for power and they can interact with the living realm because their believes thought they could.
On the other hand, Ancients are old concepts that been there basically forever since time in different dimensions isn't linear. They gain power just from the belief that what they're based on exists, meaning, their power is based on their assigned ferret.
City Spirits- Lady Gotham. Curses! MAGIC!!!
What if magic was a ferret too???
What if each curse residing in Gotham became ferret coded???
What if Danny becomes a shepherd but for ferrets?!
And do you know what people who can herd ferrets are called?
Business.
He's a literal business. Oh my god-
Is this a way he can survive in Gotham?!
