Well obviously I can’t have chronic fatigue, that’s a real problem for real disabled people that’s diagnosed by doctors probably. Clearly I just have some sort of perpetual exhaustion issue, that is also almost certainly my fault somehow
something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not
I eat angst for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this is perfect!!!!
So, we going for a Danny that is like, not Ghost King (or yes, whatever y'all want), but defeated Pariah Dark, has experience with many horrible Ghosts and people, and now, under the Joker's command, can basically destroy Gotham to a single atom, but we all know the Joker wants fun, so he maybe uses Danny to get Jason again, to go back to old times, or maybe for new, he makes him get Damian, whoever It is, will be facing some new stuff.
Wait, what if it was like, by taking an Oath, as you said, it makes it like, kind of a contract, like, Danny is factually under the Joker's command, down to the bone. And like, if we involve the JLD, Constantine (or Zatanna or someone) realizes an abnormal amount of Afterlife magic/ectoplasm stuff in Gotham, tells Batman, and then reads the signals of that magic in more detail, just to realize that they are the same signals of the fucking dude that sealed Pariah Dark away and he apparently is under The Joker's command, by contract?!
Danny moved to Gotham.
Freakshow is touring in Gotham.
Freakshow knows Danny is in Gotham.
Danny knows Freakshow is still after him.
Danny's faith in heroes has been shattered.
Danny turns to the only person powerful enough to run Freakshow out of town, hopefully for good.
Danny turns to the Joker for help.
The Joker is looking for a new punching bag sidekick after Harley Quinn left him.
Danny is just the perfect person to be shaped by the Joker's hands.
Danny becomes the new Joker Junior.
As a kid learning about the holocaust, I never understood how people could let Nazis rise to power. But now I’m watching it happen in real time.
I was just thinking about Danny as a bartender at a rogues bar and then it struck me…
Danny thinks he works at a gay bar
Why? Well, have you looked at the clients? Bisexual queen Harley Quinn, lesbian icon Poison Ivy, Two Face is clearly bi(two)sexual and has a thing with Bruce Wayne, Scarecrow is probably ace or maybe aro, Riddler is at the very least homo romantic, hell, even if Red hood comes by he’s bi/pan AND poly
What I’m saying is, based off the clientele, Danny would think he works at a gay bar
and based on the evidence they have a hard time disagreeing with him
the urge to gnaw on his forearm is insane 🫣 hehe
What's that bro? You began interacting with a media from a different country than yours and/or was made in time period different than the recent present day? Haha that's sick bro! Keep expanding your horizons bro! You're remembering to take into account that sociocultural norms, gender roles and genre expectations are different from what you are used to and meeting the story halfway, instead of forcibly superimposing your ideals into the story, right bro? Right? Right?
@sessa nation IMPORTANT QUESTION
SINCE WHEN DID DOM GET A TATTOO???
I am insulted this has no more text, and I’m here to change itt.
I usually write very weirdly, lots of descriptions, no clear lines, I’m very sorry for it :’j
———
Danny talked about this for a while, as batman kept asking for more descriptions and what to do in emergency, because Danny had somehow forgotten to write that down when he joined the league.
Danny mentioned he was electrocuted to death, and it immediately triggered Flash and Captain Marvel, because first, both their powers were all about energy and electricity, but Flash was the most affected, he couldn’t sleep peacefully for days, seeing ways in which his accident could have, paths where he was very affected and powerless, alternate universes where he would not be able to move carelessly ever again, where he would never talk or hear without technological help, where he wasn’t himself,
Flash went to Danny with it all, asking him, why had all that not happened to himself, why had he gotten powers and not a fried nervous system. Danny answered: “Flash, no matter if you hadn’t been hit with chemicals, no matter if your accident had been in broad daylight, or in the middle of a park, you were already chosen, chosen for this heroic path, and while there are many alternative realities where it goes wrong, but you, you specifically, this universes Flash, you were chosen by the Speedforce herself”
Danny has been a part of the League for a while now and has finally revealed his human half to them. Danny was in a meeting in ghost form when he takes out his hearing aids. Turns out Danny's ear drums had been blown out in his accident so now he needed hearing aids, he casually unzips a pouch on his suit and changes the batteries in the middle of the meeting. Danny looks up at the League and casually signs "deaf" as he puts his hearing aids back in. "Oh that explains why you were ignoring me." Flash said as he realized that Phantom had his hearing aids out when Flash went to talk to him. "Is there any other health concerns we should know about?" Batman asked. Danny immediately lists that he suffers from chronic pain, that his vocal cords had been mostly fried when he died and that him being able to speak again was a miracle, and that sometimes he had hand tremors and needed to use a cane or crutches if he's not flying. Batman is writing all of this down. "How did you die exactly?" Shazam asked. "I was electrocuted." Phantom said
