A Persuasive Argument - dpxdc

"Great!" Danny says, clapping his hands together to get everyone's attention. The dinner table falls silent as everyone looks towards him. It's a full house today and, honestly, Danny's a little nervous. "I'm sure you're all wondering why I gathered you here today."

"It's dinnertime. In our house." Duke mutters, while doing a very bad job of concealing his yawn. He holds his fork poised over the braised beef, but, just like everyone else, still looks towards Danny before tucking in. It's intriguing enough to wait.

"Yeah, no one misses Alfie's dinner." Dick says, with a brilliant smile that Danny can't help but return.

"Precisely! What better time to talk to you all than when you're all actually here!"

"Wait, I thought you came round to work on our English essays?" Tim asks, blinking owlishly.

"I'm afraid I've lured you here under false pretences, Tim."

"This is where I live."

"I would still really appreciate help on that essay though, I mean, what the hell is Hamlet even about? I just don't get that old time-y language, like 'Hark! A ghost hath killed me!' - absolute rubbish, what does that even mean?"

"The ghost never kills anyone in Hamlet, he's there to tell Hamlet that he was murdered. Have you actually read it?"

"No, but it sounds like you have. Tim, I want this guy to help me with my essay instead. I know for a fact that you haven't read Hamlet, either."

"So? We don't need Jason, I've read the Sparknotes."

"Hi Jason, I'm Danny, pleasure to meet you, summarise Hamlet in three sentences or less."

"Am I auditioning to help you write your essays? I can't believe you’ve gone through your whole school life without reading it, it’s good!"

"Hamlet, along with a number of other classics, was banned in our house because it portrayed ghosts as intelligent and sympathetic beings rather than evil, animalistic beasts. I didn’t even get to see The Muppet's Christmas Carol until last year with Tim! It was surprisingly good, and I hate Christmas because everyone always argued and it sucked. But we're getting off topic. I—"

"No, no, please go back to that, because what the fu—"

"Boys, please." Bruce interrupts, looking to the world as if he wants to hang his head in his hands. "Danny, you were about to say something?"

"Oh, yeah, Mr. Wayne! Thanks!"

"Please, call me Bruce."

"Well, that very succinctly brings me to my point, because I'd actually really like to call you dad."

Nobody says a word. Nobody even blinks, all as shocked as the other, watching open-mouthed as Danny pulls his laptop out from beside his chair. Bruce can definitely feel a headache coming on.

"Before you say anything, I've prepared a 69 slide PowerPoint presentation on why you, Bruce Wayne, should adopt me, Danny Last-Name-Pending. Please save your questions, comments, and verdict until the end, thank you."

#dpxdc #batpham #i forget - can we tag the parent fandoms? w/e #immediately alfred's like: while i do appreciate your initiative may i suggest it wait until after dinner? #and danny - who has barely eaten proper homecooked food ever - takes one bite and then absolutely wolfs down the whole lot #after he's finished he's like 'bear with - I've got to add that to the 'Reasons I Would Like to Live Here' section' #danny's powerpoint has tailored sections for each batfam member with lists of reasons why they'd get along #my au thoughts on this is that the fentons disowned danny when he told them he was phantom #and that this is after the ultimate enemy - wherein which he allied himself with the JL to fight against dan #(which didnt really work at all - BUT he knows some of their identities now INCLUDING batman's) #so one of the main reasons why he'd be a great fit is that he knows their vigilante status anyway so they don’t need to worry about secrets #dick just turns to tim like 'he’s your friend. he learnt this from you.' #tim: 'i didn't tell him our identities!! i would never!!' #dick: 'no i know that. it's the stalker tendancies. it's baby tim all over again' #tim: scandalised gasp #they all eat dinner in silence just super subdued and in shock and sending glances to bruce and danny #duke like: 'so i know I'm the last one in the family but like... this isn't how it normally happens right? did any of you make powerpoints? #tim gets all shifty because he absolutely did make a powerpoint he just never actually showed it to anyone #everyone stares at tim because they all know. it was in one of bab's blackmail files she has on him #damian's slide has danny offering to throw down at any time. 'tim says you like to prove yourself with your skills? #how about a real challenge? if i beat you then you have to vote yes to adopting me!' #damian is in two minds about accepting because... 1) look at him damian could take danny in his sleep! but #2) on the off chance that he does win... damian does not want any more brothers #(he takes the bet and its a suprisingly fun fight - and while he'll never say this... he would vote yes even without the wager) #on one of danny's slides there's a picture of ellie: you'll also get my clone sister! two children for the price of one!! #uhhh.... thats it now - I've been having fun with this haha #spent all day with the 'ive lured you here under false pretences' 'danny i live here' line in my head haha #anyway enjoy!!!!!! this was fun #i wanna make these slides so bad

Shadowbringers is about two old men trying to out dramatic each other and failing while wearing the most frilly of robes. Grandstanding, trying to win over the heroes' heart and trying to out old man each other while everyone else is trying to fix the Post Apocalyptic Hellscape.

#{ also Emet and G'raha have inverted outfits } #{ G'raha has red overtones while Emet's red is more of a maroon subdued beneath the black } #{ Broken up by the white obvious symbolism of light #dark the blood they've shed to get where they are and the golden gleam of the future they believe in }

It wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card that I’d draw V again. Anyway I’ll go ahead ramble in the tags

#devil may cry 5 #dmc5 #dmc v #so I’ve replayed dmc5 a stupid amount of times since March #but to be fair it’s a very short game #but I’ve developed a hobby of trying to connect dots between v and Vergil #cuz the detail is actually so good #for instance even how he holds the cane is similar to how he handles Yamato #his expressions are so alike but it’s not obvious #but then I thought #why is vergil’s humanity some dweeb who is like 20 something #he is like closest age wise to his dmc3 version #(this has probably been answered but I wanted to figure it out myself) #then I remembered the line from v about how his humanity has finally returned #so has it been subdued and dormant ever since he got imprisoned by mundus #and is that why his humanity resembles his younger self #cuz the human vulnerable side of him has been dead #this is the only edition of Vergil I won’t drop kick on sight #human v is a dork ass goth who has a soft squishy heart #and he can’t even kill his brother who he hates so much when given the chance #UUUGGHHHHHHHHHH #don’t even get me started about the ordeal with Nero #v tried so hard to just see him as a tool but he knows that wasn’t the case

[sends them to school!]

1 : nap time

2 - 4 : dazai asks mori about the family business. for a friend.

5- 8 : dazai's unnamed friends want in on the tea.

#bsd #bungo stray dogs #doodle #doodles #comic #dazai #chuuya #mori #some random ocs who may make a comeback #skk #fem soukoku #that first one was GOING to have a background but. but i couldn't... #in the first comic. basically the idea was that dazai is worried about the implications of chuuya having a ton of needle scars #(which come from all the experiments the scientists run on her) maybe her subdued personality is because she's constantly on something? #and that second comic is just a normal dazai L moment. totally forgetting about her npc friends. turned into a real square at the end there #i hit thee with a bad feelings comic but immediately soothe you with a silly comic

every zoro and sanji arguing scene that happens is gonna translate into scenes that Really feel like flirting/banter and intense eyefucking in real life because like animanga zoro and sanji are always up in each others faces grabbing their collars and shit how do you do that irl without the scene being fuckin charged -> ends up being really gay either way

#NO BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE SUBDUED FLIRTING. #THAT POST ARLONG PARK SCENE........ #cause like if you tone down their arguing and make it less physically violent ... Then theyre just bantering... and like 😳 #BUT if you keep the physicality of it all .. irl thats a bit 😳 still.. #ykyk. im cooking #one piece #zosan #one piece live action #opla

huh. yeah surprisingly chill episode (checks the tab list) wait is literally everyone red now. like is the whole cast just red now. what. how does that even HAPPEN. what does that mean for next session? like this feels, despite the fact that a bunch of yellows had to die, WEIRDLY like a calm before the storm, and that storm is "whatever happens when the ENTIRE FUCKING CAST is red". i have... no idea what that means for the future! LIKE I DON'T. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS. i don't think we've EVER ended a session in this state I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS...

#secret life spoilers #like compared to the past two weeks this was a... remarkably subdued session? #but it has set up for a FAR LESS SUBDUED FOLLOW-UP LET ME SAY.

Do you think Marcille goes on her tippy toes to kiss Falin? or does Falin lean down to kiss Marcille? or do they meet in the middle? I could see them going any which way—hell, Falin could hang upside down from the ceiling and kiss Marcille spider-man style for all I know

#Farcille #marcille donato #falin touden #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #yuri #spiderman #Marcille would be a wifeguy (affectionate) #falin would be a more subdued wifeguy (affectionate)
