I'm Curious The Dynamics Between All Of Them, Who Are Besties Wit Each Other And Who Absolutely Despises

I'm curious the dynamics between all of them, who are besties wit each other and who absolutely despises one another

Alright, let's break it down.

Firstly, I wouldn't say that any of them hate each other. Annoy to the point of insanity, sure, but at the end of the day, they're all still Riddlers. No one else in the world understands what it's like to be them.

Now that that's out of the way, Gotham, Dano, and YJ will beat ZY senseless because he is annoying and an absolute jackass, just like any group of brothers would.

Dano and YJ are nearly inseparable. They both know what it's like to be overlooked, not just in intelligence and accolade, but as a person. So, they lift each other up and are all the better for it.

Gotham is the kid-wrangler. He's one of the kids, but he's not? Like the other kids are unpredictable, but Gotham functions like clockwork.

Believe it or not, ZY isn't actually trying to make anyone angry. He's just an absolute attention whore compared to the rest of the gang, and it really shows. But it's all just to get a reaction, like most stuff he does.

Now, the babyiest of babies: Unburied. Like, he's not expected to do anything but be silly, and somehow everyone loves him for it. He's just a little guy.

Arkham, BTAS, and BTAA honestly don't care much what the kids do, as long as they aren't breaking shit or creating a national crisis. Arkham keeps to his workshop and robots, BTAS is keeping the party rolling, and BTAA is busy planning his next amazing heist. They generally don't fight, and are more likely to be diplomatic. Unless, it's ZY.

Finally, let it be said. Telltale doesn't hate any of them. He's just got that classic Riddler complex of 'everyone is an idiot except me'. When looking through the lense of age, though, it makes his own past faults and successes so much more apparent. He sees himself in every single one of them, in a way that he may not be entirely comfortable with. However, again, in classic Riddler fashion, he can't let any of them see his true self, have to keep up the illusion.

So, he'll deflect with sarcasm, cruelty, and witty quips, hoping they get a better ending.

phew.

get it, got it, good.

Uncle Scarecrow sketch :D

Jonny ain't here to fuck around, y'all. Not when you're messing with someone in his perceived murder (flock/family)

I honestly love this (everything) but I think I'm gonna stick with Fear thing merely being Jonathan's obsession thing for my version since I like to stick with Canon backstories/backgrounds (with some twists albeit at times- speaking of, still need to put into words how Scarebeast happened for me version)

Also, this got me thinking of what if Jonny made (in general) synthetic ectoplasm for Danny and Co now to make up for the lack of Natural (or just make up for the uncorrupted) ectoplasm in Gotham for me AU. It's not as effective as Natural Ectoplasm but it's much more better then Corrupted version, not to mention, it's enough that the core is given enough energy to covert it into/generate Natural Ectoplasm for them to sustain.

(Jonny putting Synthetic Ectoplasm (Synthoplasm) into his bake goods he makes for his family especially-)

DPxDC: Fear Eaters??!!!

Uncle Scarecrow AU!

So Jonathan is either Maddie's Half brother or Cousin and was really close with the Fenton family until he went a little crazy.

His obsession with fear is driven partially by the idea that ghosts feed on fear and partially since he's ecto contaminated and also feeds on fear to some extent.

Eventually word gets out to a few people that Danny is Phantom and the GIW managed to destabilize him in a way that he doesn't look as human and needs a large amount of fear and ecto to look even somewhat normal.

Maddie and Jack send him off to his Uncle Jon knowing that Gotham has ecto and fear in abundance. Jon digs deeper into his fear gas and figures out that it can work as a stabilizer for Danny if he inhales, drinks, or gets it injected into him.

The Bats get suspicious when Scarecrow breaks out of Arkham and just isn't seen for weeks. They manage to track him down and see him with his mask off in a lab with Danny and Bruce, Tim, and Cass listen in:

"Are you sure this will work, Uncle Jon?" A boy with white hair and Lazarus green eyes asks looking just a bit too inhuman to be comfortable. ("Uncle Jon?)

Crane spins around

"It has to work, Danny and I'll keep working until it does." He approaches Danny with a syringe full of fear serum. The Bats get ready to intervene but the boy doesn't seem scared

"So this chemically causes fear and hallucinations. Right?"

"Exactly. Since you're half human I'm unsure how much fear you're supposed to ingest to stay healthy but we're going to figure it out. Your parents entrusted you to me so I'm going to make sure you're okay." The boy sighs and gestures for the needle. As the Bats shift, this child has to feed on fear to stay healthy?

"I'm pretty sure they sent me to you because of ecto levels in the city and the amount of fear I'd be able to consume naturally Uncle Jon." He states as he jams the needle into himself. Above him Bruce and Tim want to intervene but Cass stops them

"Not hurting him." She states. Danny shivers for a moment before shifting into a much more human form with black hair and blue eyes as they watch on.

"How human do I look?" Scarecrow grins widely

"You look great kiddo. How stable do you feel? What effects are there? How is it interacting with your biology?" Danny thinks for a moment

"I feel like I watched a horror movie in theatre and absorbed enough fear to last a few days." Scarecrow takes note of that.

"Eventually we'll find something that'll work more permanently." Crane vows

"How much fear do you need to eat weekly?" (The Bats listen closer if one of their rogues literally has to feed on fear that rewrites several prior assumptions about him)

"Not as much as you. I'm still mostly human and I tend to stock up on a bunch at once. I'm thinking about making a weak strain to inject myself with so I won't have to go out as much." His Nephew seemed surprised

"Really? Family tradition means that we need at least one Supervillain a generation and my parents have stopped doing vivisections in their basement so really it's just you?"

"Family tradition?" Tim questions but Bruce is almost as confused. He'll need to look into Jonathan Cranes background more after this if it's a family tradition. He's also concerned about the vivisections the boy mentioned.

Scarecrow let's out a bit of a laugh below them.

"Who will be the villain from your gen then?" He mused

"Any one of us really," Danny laughed "According to the Government I'm breaking the law by existing. Ellie is half raised by Uncle Vlad and he's enough of a villainous fruit loop, Dan is on probation for murder, and Jazz wants to be a psychologist." He explained.

"Jazz I'm sure." He smirks as the Bats take notes

FINALLY DREW SCAREBEAST (Well- a rough sketch anyways) XD

I tried tbh but ye, this is how I imagined Scarebeast for my version of Jonathan! I Drew Jonny boy and Danny as a height ref (Though, I accidentally drew Danny shorter than he should be-)

Some quick note rambles.

Danny's gonna be the shortest in the family till he hits 18 where he gets a late growth spurt bringing him up to Jonny boy's height. Fentons have late growth spurts while the Keeny family tends to have their growth spurt early on.

For Jonathan, transforming into the Scarebeast had always been painful. But the longer he remains in contact with Danny especially, the transformation becomes painless due to the ambient ectoplasm the kid generates turning Jonny liminal (Not to the extent of any other Amity Parkers or Jazz (who has the highest liminal level-) but it would take a while- even with Danny being around. Jack and Maddie have grown immune to ambient ectoplasm- doesn't help they have Hazzmat suits on all the time which stopped them from being as exposed-)

Jonny in Scarebeast mode can release its own strain of Fear Toxin. A sort of mix between all the versions Jonathan made of the toxin over the years that he's been exposed to personally (which is all of them- part of the reason why he managed to develop Scarebeast by accident). Not particularly the strongest but its effects can last a lot longer and even when given the antidote, it lingers from a week to even a month.

Jonny cannot fly as Scarebeast. He does like being up in tall places and would climb there, though.

DO NOT LET SCAREBEAST MEET MAN-BAT, IT WILL NOT GO WELL FOR ANYONE. Same goes for Goliath the Dragon Bat or, some of the Clayfaces, and, unsurprisingly by all means, Joker. Get's hostile if Ra's Al Ghul is near but won't outright attack. Scarebeast does get along with Killer Croc though despite not being part of his murder. Scarebeast is rather wary of Bane, Ivy and Mr. Freeze, though.

Scarebeast is very affectionate to the members of its murder when it thinks there is no danger. Might as well be an overgrown cat with mothering tendencies even when it's a crow. Will play fight with Danny when he's in ghost form. This applies to Ellie as well. It will try to fight Jazz when especially bored but doesn't go too hard due to sensing her being human- even if she's liminal.

Likes to lay on top of its murder members, especially Edward. ["I love you Jon but GET OFF MY FACE!" "Krrrrrrrr" "... Guess this is my life now."] Will gift its fallen feathers to them as well.

Some of the hideouts and bases Jonathan has included a huge straw nest somewhere for when he's Scarebeast.

Seeing the child staring at Nora, Victor sighed, massaging his brows, once he noticed the familiar features. Picking her up by the hood, he started walking outside his base, ignoring the pouting look the young girl had.

Victor wonders how excited Nora would be having 2 children under their care, a 3rd if you ignore the fact they're in university. She would've teased him, after all, he always did have a habit of picking up strays in his younger years. (Grew fond of them quickly too, and it seems this transferred over to his new situation... Not that he'll complain, of course. It's nice to have company again that wasn't just Nora.)

"Danny?"

After no response through the door, Jonathan sighed as he walked up to it closer and leaned at the wall next to it.

"You've been in there for a while now, y'know? Your sis is getting worried. All of us are, kid. Skipping meals like that ain't healthy either... Sure, Ed and I do it often but that doesn't mean-..." The older man's voice started to trail off when he felt something wet under his feet.

"What in the-" He felt his skin grow pale the moment he saw the green liquid leaking under the floor "-Oh... Oh, no- DANNY!? I'M COMING IN!"

Light from the hall leaked in the dark room, as the leak of glowing green trailed towards the single twin bed, where a figure sat atop of it.

Stepping in, Jonathan was hit with an Aura of wrongness. "Danny? You... You alright there, child?"

He watches Danny slowly turn his head, a loud sickening crack following it, and much to Jonathan's horror, he now saw why everything felt wrong.

"It's April third, Uncle Jonathan. Sister Jasmine knows this. Sister Jasmine should have remembered this."

Danny wasn't here in his room right now. Danno was.
