There is an information blackout on Amity Park and the GIW are indeed involve. But not in the way most expect. They think ghosts are involved and the GIW have been trying to break the blackout in increasingly unhinged ways. Like a missile to the Ghost Zone unhinged
Ok so we're going for the ghosts and ectoplasm in the air create a natural blackout route? Naturally the GIW think they're helping. They think they're freeing the people of Amity Park (by any means necessary). At first they try simply eradicating the ghosts. But they quickly realized that the random stragglers they've been capturing aren't the true source of the problem. So they track a ghost back to the source and find something far stranger than their wildest imaginations: A portal to a space LEAKING ghosts and ectoplasm. So that's why our methods weren't working! Nothing to do with our incompetent. Nope nothing to do with that at all.
One eviction of a family of four and a quick relocation of their gear later and the GIW is ready to free this poor impoverished town. The GIW set up bombs around the inside of the portal and set them off in triumph..... Except the portal doesn't close. Hmmmm that was weird, they must've all been duds. Welp! No matter we'll try again. But the explosives don't go off this time either. As it turns out, the zone seeped out all the energy of the bombs before they had a chance to explode. Honestly that seems a little unfair but fine, they'll just unleash something on the portal that'll destroy it before it can suck up all its energy. A grenade should do. No big deal.
Or perhaps a big deal indeed? Because the grenade also ends up losing power before it takes out the Ghost Zone. No no no! The GIW is getting desperate. Nothing is working. Not the rocket launchers, not the tank rounds, not even the missiles. Meanwhile their superiors are constantly breathing down their necks and the people of Amity Park are getting more and more uncooperative by the day.
Why!? Don't they see we're just trying to help!? Why do they insist on us leaving!? Why are they starting to protect the ghosts!? Oh, we get it now. This whole town has been corrupted. You don't live this close to a portal to another realm without getting contaminated. That's why they're siding with these things. Because they're becoming more like them everyday. The people of Amity Park are all too far gone. They cannot be saved anymore. But this Ghost Zone must still be destroyed. To prevent it from affecting any more people.
Say.... if these people have already become inhuman and we need a blast big enough to destroy this place once and for all, can't we just.... you know.... nuke it? Hey yeah. That's a good idea, let's do it.
----
While the GIW have been devising up ways to destroy the zone, Danny has been working hard himself. For starters, he capitalized on his parents newfound hatred for the GIW to reveal himself. Which went well all things considered. Then he and the others set to work showing the townspeople how much more destructive the GIW were than the ghosts (which honestly wasn't very hard). Day by day, they continued to show everyone that the ghosts weren't so bad and were actually even quite similar to themselves. Day by day they won everyone over to their side. While they did so, they spied on the GIW, continuously using the intel they gained to sway more people. It was during one such spy mission that Danny uncovered what the GIW had planned. The horror they wanted to unleash. Yet he can't stop it alone. No, there's not enough people and not enough time. There's only one option he has left.
----
It was supposed to be a standard meeting for the Justice League. For once all things were quiet (that should have been their first red flag honestly). All they had to do was get through one last debrief from Batman and they were all home free. That is until a boy phases through the table, begging for their help to save his species from ah annihilation.

in like a one person gets one, who would dicks soulmate (platonic or not idk) be? i’ve asked this to several ppl and the answers are usually wally, donna, or jason though i’ve seen some ppl say slade, roy, and bruce.
Anon your ask has literally been haunting me at night. I thought I knew the answer but then you hit me with a Donna!! But between Bruce and Donna, I can't decide so I'll just present a case for both.
Bruce
Bruce and Dick are soulmates on a cosmological scale. The DC universe ordained them to always find each other because they're quite literally a fated pair.
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight Issue #23
Bruce: The only regret is that I'm out there alone. It felt good having someone at my back, being part of a team...but no sense wasting time wishing for something I'll never have.
Dick: He's cool, dad...d'you think we'll ever see him when we play Gotham?
The universe literally brings them together no matter the circumstances.
Convergence Issue #4
"The bond between you and Bruce Wayne echoes in every reality."
I don't think there's any stronger evidence for Dick and Bruce being soulmates than this.
But if that's still not enough I have more-
The Multiversity: Guidebook
In Bruce's world he lost Dick and in Dick's world he lost Bruce, but still in the end they somehow find each other. In every universe that has Batman, if someone is his partner it's always Dick.
In the medieval ages world-
Batman: Dark Knight of the Round Table Issue #1
The world of "A Christmas Carol" with Ebenezer Scrooge -
Batman: Noël
In a world where Bruce is a doctor at Arkham -
The Batman of Arkham
Dick is always there as his second.
Here's another interesting but depressing fact: In worlds where Dick Grayson has died as Robin, Bruce Wayne has never taken in another Robin.
This is because on top of the fact that Dick and Bruce as fated to meet, Dick means the entire world for Bruce. Like sometimes Bruce will come across a case with a child involved and the first thing he'll think about is Dick.
Batman: City of Madness Issue #2
Bruce's mind and life is literally consumed by Dick Grayson on a cosmologically spiritual level.
Donna
Donna is Dick's soulmate on a twin-sister spiritual level. Dick and Bruce are two halves of a whole, yin and yang. Dick and Donna though are one person. Their relationship is like taking paint and mixing it together to get something new. Like in those comics where two people look at each other and there's a "zing!" and suddenly it's an instant connection. That's them.
Titans (2016) Special 1
additionally:
Titans (2016) Special 1
New Titans (1988) Issue #89
Dick and Donna have no secrets. They're like a jigsaw puzzle, their pieces fall right into place.
He's always there for her-
The New Teen Titans (1980) Issue #38
They're so special and integral to each other that when an evil witch erases Donna from everyone's memories, there is only one focal point for her. One focal person for her throughout the years. Even though he doesn't remember her, Dick literally goes back in time with his future daughter Mar'i to help Donna, his soul-sister-
The Titans (1999) Issue #25
In every. single. moment of Donna's past Dick appears again and again to comfort her and be her pillar from Robin to civies to Nightwing. In the "Who is Donna Troy" Arc, as the story goes from the origins of Donna to the present, it becomes very clear that Dick is her centerpoint.
They're the definition of soulmates.
She knows him better than anyone else and he knows her. She even had him walk her Donna the aisle for her wedding. He was given that honor because of who they are to each other.
Tales of the Teen Titans Issue #42
I...
just-
Tales of the Teen Titans Issue #50
to love like that...
They're made for each other.

So I realized I wasn’t a system and just have a very good imagination and I feel bad for like, mislabeling myself, even if it was only briefly, it’s probably not an issue but I wanna make sure.
It's fine! Misidentification happens sometimes; it's not some horrible crime to be wrong about yourself. I just hope you were able to enjoy any time you spent as part of the community and could broaden your horizons!

Just thinking about how Gale had to watch and wait as more boys from the 100th started showing up, and Bucky wasn't with them.
How the first question he probably asked, the only one that mattered to him, was where's Bucky? Then once it becomes clear Bucky went down, he adds on, did he make it? And no one can answer him. Some of the guys say they saw his fort go down but didn't see how many parachutes got out. Then Brady or someone who was with him shows up, and Gale asks his questions again. Brady says Bucky was the last one out, but Bucky still doesn't show up.
Gale wonders what option he prefers: Bucky's out there on the run or he's on the way here. He won't consider the third option, won't even let anyone speak it into existence. But the days go on, and fewer and fewer boys from the 100th show up. Then none of them show up. Yet, Gale still waits at the fence, ready with his questions for any familiar face that walks in.
Until finally, Bucky walks in, looking like death but still alive, miraculously blessedly alive, and part of Buck feels alive again, the part that he hadn't dared acknowledge, that had died when he heard Bucky went down come back to life at the site.
What took you so long? Finally, Buck gets to change his question.
Everyone always talks about how Bucky comes back to life when he sees Buck again, how his first question was about Buck, but when I watch that scene, Buck also looks like he's seen a miracle in action.
Fam you drop this gorgeous, heartwrenching piece in my inbox and expect me to NOT be speechless?? Sorry it too me so long to reply.
The idea of Buck waiting patiently at the gate every day begging for any news of Bucky and struggling not to lose more hope with every passing day shatters me. I can see the other guys staying with him as much as they can, for support and comfort, trying to take care of him. No one knows if Bucky made it and no one wants to think about which option is worse for Gale, if they find out for sure Bucky is dead or if they never find out and Gale keeps going to gate, for how long? They’re already seeing him become a shell of himself.
He really does feel alive again Bucky walks through the gate. He can hardly believe it’s real and maybe it takes a few days and a few nights of holding Bucky close that he can believe it.
We have some good post-reunion fics but I’d love to see more, such a lot of potential right there. 🥺

I feel like Trey didn’t need to be taken in the neverland AU….
Or maybe he went willingly with Riddle when Riddle became a part of Neverland and Riddle was like “yeah sure I can see that you need my guidance!” When really they just want to stay together… 😭😭😭
And Deuce missing his mommmm I bet he’s staying determined to be better for his mom! 😭😭😭
And Cater not wanting to return to his responsibilities so he makes sure he acts out so he never has to leave because he hates his home life. 😭😭😭
And I feel like in this AU maybe Ace lost his brother because there was this feeling of sadness and loss there with the picture but he wasn’t actually there. And we know how much Ace loves his brother… 😭😭😭
Poor babiesssss 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
First off, thank you for your response! 💕 I’m glad you’re so into this au of mine!
I’m glad you’ve already picked up on Trey being the odd man out…Riddle believes that every name he receives is a child would needs to be taught the rules…but what if he’s wrong? Is that why those names are being spoken to Riddle 👀 But Trey doesn’t mind being onboard the Queen’s Court as he becomes very attached to Riddle after realizing how lonely Riddle is.
Deuce definitely wants to be better for his mom! I carried that motivation from the game over to my au because I just love him trying to better himself. Now will he have any easy journey with Riddle? Certainly not, especially with Ace at his side.
Cater…there’s so much I could say about him, but I think his profile does a good job hinting at his backstory. He doesn’t want to return, which is obvious seeing how many times he was supposed to return (even though that is going right over Riddle’s head), but the question remains: why?
Ace…I really messed around with his home life, which I’ve made very different from the game just to play with his growth in the AU as well as his relatability to other characters *cough* mother-son relationships *cough* Riddle *cough* Ace will be the most outspoken in the AU and he spurs on a lot of growth for all the characters just like in the game.
As thanks for all your comments, take this little bonus of Cater’s feelings about going home and leaving the boys aboard the Queen’s Court:

any thoughts on the keys from finnegrin?
I love how they represent tdp's recurring threes, keys, and children's games motifs in "Bait and Switch."
The alliteration and the meter of "Squid, sails, and a hammerhead's tail" evoke a children's nursery rhyme. Ezran recites this rhyme to solve the "riddle" of the locked door to Finnegrin's office, while playing a trick on Finnegrin and stealing his secret treasure from him.
Plus these keys just look heckin' cool.

All Cody has to do is show even the slightest bit of skin and I'm simping for him. I feel like an old Victorian after seeing some ankle. 😂
The last line got me 😂
He could be clothed head to toe and I’ll still simp for him 🥵. Seeing his skin is a bonus 😉

i love this completely normal family consisting of 3 eldritch force entities, the most overworked child prodigy ever, her 30 body doubles, a carnivore who got resurrected by a dead god, 1000 identical uncles, and the poor old man who's been babysitting everyone for 25 years

cheating is cheating and it sucks no matter how it happens but the fact that joel didn't use a condom!! and did in their bed just makes it so much worse!!!! like if reader hadn't caught them, she would have slept in the same bed her husband fucked another woman raw in just a few hours ago! It's extra disrespectful bc your home is supposed to be your safe space or whatever and it's rough to think that someone who you love so much and who says he loves you would do you like that...feels a bit more personal to me and a little more than i lost myself and fucked some rando in a random place.
idk if i m making any sense, i've never even been married lmao.. i just feel like these two things would cut even deeper
i am so sorry for rambling but i just loved it so much and i cant wait to see how things will go down!!! I love me some well written angst
Hello dear anon,
thank you for taking the time to comment..
I think you're right, it wasn't a spontaneous thing, otherwise he could have done it somewhere else.. I mean, it's like HE WAS TRYING TO GET CAUGHT! Get it together Joel! 🤠👀👀

opinion on songs from Moana being used for dick? (Eg. How far I’ll go, Where you are and I am Moana)
Let's do this!
How Far I'll Go
How Far I'll Go is my guilty pleasure!
Listen, I'm so happy that Dick adores the stuffings out of family and friends and loves them with all his heart but please, I just need one self-indulgent piece of writing where he just abandons everything, takes a break, and goes on a long self-discovery journey via a roadtrip or something. Sometimes I feel like he's too busy being a part of everyone else's self-discovery journey that he doesn't get to enjoy what he wants to do. How Far I'll Go is a cumulation of Dick being the leader and taking on the leadership role while sacrificing his own needs. The lyrics express a longing for exploration and pushing boundaries, which also aligns with Dick's journey from Robin to Nightwing.
Furthermore, Dick Grayson's robin is characterized by a sense of adventure and exploration-
Detective Comics (2016) Issue #1000
literally.
And this need for adventure is what Moana and this song is all about. It's a craving, a desperate urge to go beyond the known and explore. Dick's known for his willingness to explore new territories, both physically and emotionally, often venturing into the unknown to protect his city and his loved ones.
The song is also about his desire for independence because like Moana, Dick Grayson grapples with his desire for independence while also feeling a sense of duty to his family and community.
It's actually a cycle. In the song it goes-
Every turn I take, every trail I track
Every path I make, every road leads back
-and this is just a reflection of Dick's internal conflict between his personal aspirations of happiness and living his life vs his responsibilities as a hero and his duties as a leader of his community and the pillar of his family.
Where You Are
Where You Are is literally what I think Bruce wishes he could do to Dick lol. Except he's acting as the village and the father, not the grandma.
Don't walk away
Moana, stay on the ground now
Our people will need a chief, and there you are
These lyrics in particular -
🤌
*takes a deep breath in*
Now why does this sound familiar? :/
oh right, Bruce tells Dick that he needs a Batman whenever he's gone and he also tells Dick that his place as Robin is by Batman's side. This is also practically word-for-word what Cass says to Dick about his responsibilities of Batman.
Mainly this song is about sacrificing personal ambitions and desires to fulfill your duties.
That's right, we stay
We're safe, and we're well provided
And when we look to the future, there you are
You'll be okay
In time you'll learn just as I did
You must find happiness right where you are
I don't think this song really needs any more explanation about how it's related to Dick because Dick's life practically embodies this song. It's sacrifice upon sacrifice he's done in order do his duties as Dick Grayson and Nightwing. This is his Eldest Daughter Syndrome song.
(Also just realized that without the background music this song is creepy af. Imagine the batfam singing the lines to him in a dark room where he hallucinates them. It's like a gothic horror story.)
I am Moana
Ooof. "I am Moana" is Dick Grayson's contant identity crisis song. In like every comic he's like "I was robin, I was nightwing, I was amnesic, I was Agent 37, I was Batman. But now I know that I am Dick Grayson."
Look at the lyrics-
I know a girl from an island
She stands apart from the crowd
She loves the sea and her people
She makes her whole family proud
Sometimes the world seems against you
The journey may leave a scar
But scars can heal and reveal just
Where you are
The people you love will change you
The things you have learned will guide you
And nothing on earth can silence
The quiet voice still inside you
And when that voice starts to whisper
"Moana, you've come so far"
Moana listen, do you know who you are?
Who am I?
I am a girl who loves my island
And the girl who loves the sea, it calls me
I am the daughter of the village chief
We are descended from voyagers
Who found their way across the world
They call me
I've delivered us to where we are
I have journeyed farther
I am everything I've learned and more
Still it calls me
And the call isn't out there at all
It's inside me
It's like the tide
Always falling and rising
I will carry you here in my heart
You'll remind me
That come what may
I know the way
I am Moana!
Just replace girl with boy, add correct context, change Moana to Dick Grayson and boom! There you have him. "I am Moana" is Dick's Agent 37 arc.
Grayson Issue #1
"Dick, you've come so far"
Dick listen, do you know who you are?

📁 maybe perhaps :)
Send me a 📁 and I'll show you a random sketch/doodle that I never posted
How about a little Rayman outfit? I had this idea for a ceremonial costume Ray could wear for special events which could ‘hide’ his limblessness. The idea is that anyone coming to visit the Glade (Ambassadors, foreign dignitaries etc) who didn’t know about Rayman might find him distracting or scary, so he’d wear this kind of costume which still gives him freedom to move easily but wouldn’t make him a target.

Danny fakes his death and runs away, but with a twist. He runs away from the Fentons and somehow gets adopted by the League of Assassins somehow
Ra's: No Detective, we are not giving up our emotion support badger. And why are you even here?
This reminds me of that trope when a character looks very serious but then it turns out they're in a very unserious scenario. Like you have someone preparing for battle but then it turns out they're just preparing to call the doctor.
I can just see the Bats busting into Nanda Parbat, planning to rescue this poor boy who doesn't realize what he's getting himself into.... only to find Danny teaching a group of assassins how to make a panini.
Now this can all just be a front. Danny is running away from all of the emotions that have to do with everything back home and he's using the League as an excuse not to think about it. He has to purify the pits and host a bird watching hike and convince Ras to allow an art class. So no time to dwell in heavy feelings like your parents treating you like a monster. Nope. No siree.
Either that or Danny genuinely couldn't be happier. He no longer has to hide around his own house or fear being "ripped apart molecule by molecule". He doesn't even have to worry about eventually being hunted down because both his parents and the GIW think he's dead. Danny is finally living his best life free of stress and he's taking full advantage of it.
.....He also may or may not have accidentally cultivated an entire army of assassins more loyal to him than their leader himself.
