Observants - Tumblr Posts

Okay, instead of Clockwork disliking the Speedsters, he's actually loving them cuz they made his work so fun and interesting, I mean, he knows everything and he also knows that the Speedsters would fix it sooner or later and the timeline would be alright.

And the plus side of it all, is that he gets to see it in his cog mirror shaped portal thing directly with popcorn in hand.

The dramas, the angst, the comedy, the romance and things. Its just a full blown telenovela to him.

So when the day came where he finally found a smidge of time to go on a vacation, he brought Danny with him, so much for the boy's confusion in Clockwork's sudden invitation to drag him along to Gotham then to space of all place.

Turns out, Clockwork just needed the 'human' Danny for a sec and trolled around in the watchtower that he got a human hostage while Danny was just confused as hell as to what's happening.

Danny: Clockwork??? Hello??? What's happening?!?

Clockwork and his cryptid speech: Unnatural of a fog, the forest has changed. This time, the flow of the clock is mine.

Danny:.... WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??!?

And then the JL just thinking that the human is in distress from being a hostage by this entity while Clockwork just wants to have fun.

And this is why the Observants wants to keep Clockwork at bay because of his trolling tendencies.

I like the idea that Clockwork who was new to the job was a little bit of a troublemaker and forgetful at times.

(I'm imagining that he used to be a human who just really loved clocks and used time to his advantage, planning and scheduling and stuff like that. And when he died, he became a ghost whose obsession is time and over time, he became a master. It's kinda like Danny who keeps getting new powers and gets stronger by the day)

Meaning that he'd forget about watching over the timelines or that he forgets what he was supposed to watch out for while seeing one timeline getting wrecked.

Meaning that the Observants are always there with Clockwork parenting him how to do the job.

Each time Clockwork says that question, it's either

A. Clockwork forgot his duties after playing hooky

B. Clockwork failed to save a timeline and now he's hiding that fact

C. Clockwork got tired and went high because he got no day-off

D. Other
