King Laugh
I actually found the bit about King Laugh really touching.
Poor Van Helsing, unable to cope with the fact that he's the only person who knows that Lucy's going to rise soon; that she's not dead in the way that everyone at her funeral thinks she is; that soon he's going to have to kill her himself...
That this whole thing is just too big and terrible to be told, and he has to bear the contradictions within himself until it can be seen. Because no-one would believe the truth.
That only with his old friend and student can he bear to show this weakness, to open up his emotions for even a moment. And knowing that once he does open up he may not be able to stop.
That he might be thought hysterical, but that he can't contain this any longer. Even though he still has things which he knows and which he cannot tell.
What else is there to do for him but laugh.
And cry.

"Oh, friend John, it is a strange world, a sad world, a world full of miseries, and woes, and troubles; and yet when King Laugh come he make them all dance to the tune he play. Bleeding hearts, and dry bones of the churchyard, and tears that burn as they fall—all dance together to the music that he make with that smileless mouth of him. And believe me, friend John, that he is good to come, and kind. Ah, we men and women are like ropes drawn tight with strain that pull us different ways. Then tears come; and, like the rain on the ropes, they brace us up, until perhaps the strain become too great, and we break. But King Laugh he come like the sunshine, and he ease off the strain again; and we bear to go on with our labour, what it may be."

Ah, King Laugh.
Dracula Daily is making me homesick in the weirdest way. Several years ago I played Mina in a production of The Passion of Dracula at my hometown community theatre. It was actually the last play I did there. I loved that old building from carpet to roof. I spent hours of my teen years there. And I still remember the guy who played Van Helsing and the way he kept cracking up in rehearsals when trying to give the King Laugh monologue. To this day it's his face I see when I picture Van Helsing, and the guy who played Arthur, too, for him.
I was one of only two girls in the cast, and the second youngest (the guy who played Seward was a year younger), and it was the first time I'd been in a role that required any kind of physical intimacy, and this with two different characters. And everyone was so great and supportive, made sure I felt safe and comfortable the whole time. My favorite theatre experience to this day.

when pavitr prabhakar is showing off india to his new spidey friends there's this tiny moment where he goes like "and this is where the british stole all our stuff!" and i kid you not, not a single person in the theatre laughed. not even a chuckle. a theatre full of grown-ass british people were losing their shit over the "hole" jokes like a bunch of fifth graders but when they're reminded of their war crimes they clench their own holes so hard they forget to breathe

My favourite piece of TMA canon that no one ever discusses is the fact that Elias has canonically watched at least a little bit of ghost hunt YouTube. Even Martin can’t believe it.

War Day
After Danny was crowned he decided that the truce party had to have a counterpart, after all ghosts became friends mostly through battles, and he assumed that one day letting them fight wouldn't be a bad thing, it might even help stir up some grudges.
This was how High King Phantom, ruler of the infinite realms inaugurated the long-awaited "Day of War" or just "War Day", a moment when the Infinite Realms naturally became chaotic; alliances were allowed but it was not advisable to trust on them.
And of course, you were free not to participate, you just had to put a blue or green band on your arm, or a little green clock in the backyard of your haunt so the ghosts would leave you, your haunt or your territory in general alone.
Danny thought of it as some kind of giant paintball day, only with no paintballs and full of aggressive ghosts with various powers, it was especially exciting since everyone knew there would be no hard feelings after it and they would end up in the king's palace eating sweets as little children.
They usually celebrated it on a day close to any celebration related to death in human world, when their powers were especially powerful and therefore everyone could have more fun.
The problem was that since Danny had human friends (liminals?) who came to play, they didn't really consider it weird when some humans fell into the realms by a natural portal, and since they weren't wearing any blue or green arm bands they were definitely in the game.
For their part, the family of bats along with some League allies found themselves literally standing on a field of war where everyone seemed to be going for the kill, Jason was strangely excited about it, as was Damian.
When Dick asked one of the locals for an explanation, a guy on a motorbike threw him into the air laughing and yelled "LET THE HUNGER GAMES BEGIN!"
