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.

#pondhead blurbs #dpxdc #how we feeling about this fellas #i think it's an ideal angst fic #but i don't wanna write it lol #the younger danny is the worse it gets #someone said that danny shouldn't be afraid of the joker because he's a clown and freakshow is a ringmaster. not a clown #if i find that post i'll tag the creator cause i can't remember rn #but i'm imagining danny who is heavily traumatized and scared and lonely #finding out that one of his worst enemies he hoped to never see again is hunting him and is so close danny has to check his eyes every day #just to make sure they haven't turned red #his anxiety is out of control and he's not about to go find a Bat or Bird to talk to #who would believe him anyways? he's a monster #but danny needs help cause he will not survive this on his own and he knows it #freakshow haunts his every waking dream #but freakshow isn't from gotham. he doesn't have the city's curses engraved into his blood. he never died and he's not truly teasing death #so danny chooses to plead for help from the only predator bigger than freakshow (in his eyes) who IS from gotham #danny goes to the Joker. prepared to offer everything but his free will and free mind. he can't give those up. it's all he has. #danny is a feral house cat asking a tiger to take care of a mountain lion for him by offering the tiger his own liver on a silver platter #joker is...delighted? maybe? no one is quite sure. but he takes what danny offers. #here is this little boy. almost the same age as the second robin when he died. pleading for the JOKER to be his savior. this will be fun

Our caravan was viciously ambushed by... two lil' munchkin cats. They were no match for Laursen, and our nomads continued on their way without any issues.

Until...

They were ambushed again! This time by a pair of terrifying... blind salamanders. These ones were dealt with by none other than our favourite lucky charm, Shamrock the donkey. A hero for sure!

Finally, we arrived at a lovely stretch of grassland where we decided to settle down for a few weeks to resupply. Don't they all look adorable camping out around their ominous obelisk? I wish I could draw scenery better. I'd love to be able to paint this up in a pretty oil-painting scene. Still, the screenshot itself is cute enough. <3

Gale refusing the gloves when he thinks they’re Peeta’s but then taking them back when Katniss says they were Cinna’s… ABSOLUTE TRASH.

#oh and let’s not get into how he gets mad that katniss wants to bring peeta along when she suggests running away #I cannot stand this dude #he is literally so self-centred and arrogant #peeta never did anything bad to him in fact he’s a big reason katniss even made it through the hunger games #and the reason she survived starvation and actually began hunting #but instead of being grateful he’s just pissy and rude to him #even when peeta goes and takes care of his ugly ass after he gets whipped #he couldn’t even fathom the decency to be kind to him after he was tortured and hijacked #in fact he is literally jealous of him because he’s like ‘oh this makes katniss like you more than me’ #like imagine that’s your takeaway regarding literal torture #he always makes everything about himself without regard to those who actually suffered more than a hurt ego #he was such a trash friend to katniss honestly #he acted like he owned her and no one else could be close to her #it’d be one thing if they had established a relationship before she left but they didn’t; he never confessed #so katniss owed him nothing but she literally spends all of catching fire trying to appease him #and being worried about how he will react to things she needs to do out of survival #instead of him comforting her after all the trauma she went through he just acted as one more thing for her to worry about #and he never apologizes for his behaviour while peeta acknowledges it’s not fair to hold it against katniss #but gale just has this mindset that he is the one who is owed an apology 🙄 #all of this when he’s two years older than katniss and peeta too #talk about being immature and petty #the hunger games #misc #rant #my opinion

Two things I've noticed about the Count in the last two entries I didn't realise before-

He would not move across the threshold of his own house to touch Jonathan until after John had said that he would enter willingly. This is a reversal - or continuation - of the 'vampire can't enter your house unless you let them' trope. Who knows what would have happened if John had tried to enter without saying anything.

His insistence on learning unaccented English and its customs, that he might blend in seamlessly. So he couldn't be picked out of a crowd. So he wouldn't stand out. So a shadowy encounter might not be traced back to him.

#I know some people have already made these connections it's just occurred to me how much foreshadowing bram was doing. Insane #I don't actually remember drac having any trouble in other home entering circumstances...? #Did pop culture reverse the threshold thing? Or did I forget something? #I love how rereads just constantly emphasise that this is not a man. It's a monster. A predator of humanity. #He has spent years planning the hunt. The transylvania locals are too wary; to clever. They know what he is and how to survive. #The British don't have that protection. In fact they're actively dismissive of the supernatural with the recent boom in industry and wealth #News has reached even his distant corner of the world. They're ripe for the taking. A new world where no one knows who he is is perfect. #It's ideal hunting grounds for a stealth predator. Sheep do not expect the tiger #dracula daily #dracula #bram stocker's dracula

once again diving into the must-read dean-study time has come today by the phenomenal @urne-buriall​ and this paragraph is giving me brainworms of j*hn tying dean up and stranding him (maybe even faux kidnapping him first) in the middle of nowhere with coordinates where to meet once he frees himself bc such is the nature of their work dean needs to be self-sufficient he needs to be able to survive and not being old enough to legally drink or drive is no excuse 

#two deans means twice the fun folks! #destiel #deancore #fanfiction #time travel #fic rec #thoughts #abusive john #he obvs already has some skills and knowledge of how to cut bindings and navigate without a map etc #but j*hn needs to know dean can handle himself should anything happen - and shit is bound to happeen in their line of work #there may already be allusions to this sort of thing in j*hn's diary but i haven't read that whole thing #horrid thought: dean thinks he might die and yet he'd hate to disappoint his dad but even that pales in comparison to abandoning sammy #it's a rollercoaster of emotion as he tries to get out and find his wy back to civilisation - he hates his dad. he wishes his dad were here. #he needs to survive for sammy. sammy might be better off with out him. his dad hates him. his dad cares about him and wouldn't #actually endanger his life. he hunts monsters on the regular he can handle some poison oak and a hungry wolf. wtf is that noise? #he's pathetic. he's a hunter! will this be a regular thing? he knows not to let monsters get the drop on him but didn't thinkn he'd need to #do the same with his own dad. his dad is insane. his dad is a survivor. his dad survived nam and kills monsters; dean can be a soldier too

xl went through so much insane suffering, things like being stabbed until he barely resembles a human form and being locked in a coffin for literally a hundred years, but I think making him immortal and ever-healing and showing how much he learned from his experiences AND ending his story with so much closure and close relationships makes his tragedies a lot easier to bear than wwx's. like, emotionally

#when I see xl I go marlon brando voice *look how they massacred my boy* #reading books 2 and 4 going wow this is really sad im glad that's behind xl and he's at such peace #reading the flashbacks in mdzs and going WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK #wwx does have a nice little recovery arc in the book but he's still clearly really messed up from a lot that had happened to him #and compartmentalizing and avoiding his past and desperately trying to survive another day #in a way xl really wasn't. he was just chilling #this is why I never read tgcf fic unless it's very goofy or pokes fun at canon #it feels like such a more complete story with no loose ends or lingering issues #tho tbf I don't really search for novel fic I search for cql fic and happen to run into novel stuff that I like sometimes #which is usually modern with magic or dealing with various things I thought weren't handled well like the sex scenes #also he was by all accounts a very stable and happy child and young adult. the shit didn't even start until he was 17 #by that point wwx had lost two sets of parents been hunted on the street by feral dogs as a starving child been tortured multiple times #has lost his home to a violent invasion had given up his core in a painful procedure that he knew would eventually kill him #and been in a war #hm. anyway. #tgcf txp

[anindecisivespirit]

(Trollhunters spoilers!)

Angor Rot really did deserve better.

His soul was stolen and he was basically a slave for who even knows how long, and then every time he died (except the last) he was forcefully brought right back to serve again.

He tried to work with Jim, made a deal that would benifit both of them greatly- and sure, we can't know for sure if he would have honored his end of things, but I do believe he would've. Like. At this point, he has nothing really personal against Jim- maybe Claire after she took the staff but that's not quite important here. He does have VERY personal problems with Strickler and Morgana (who Gunmar serves and is going to free if he gets out, which Strickler's plans were leading to)- so severing the soulbond with Barbara and killing Strickler would be easy, bring justice to Strickler and prevent Morgana's return. Also, it is a very good "thanks for my soul back (sort of), sorry for trying to slaughter you and your friends, lets never interact again" gift for Jim.

He flipped out and attacked Jim but 1) in his perspective Jim just suddenly appeared in his cave and that's not cool. 2) Jim was very clearly going to try and put the ring on, so I am not going to be blaming Angor for trying to stop/kill him before he could. The man just wants to be free.

He very clearly hates everything Morgana and Gunmar do, though he does stay with them- and sure, he can't be controlled anymore but what was he meant to do? Morgana would have dragged him back if he left and killed/imprisoned/controlled him if he fought against them. I'm sure about this. But he still voices disagreements, he still calls them out, he still saves Draal after empathizing with him.

And then there's the final battle with Morgana, and Angor betrays her. At this point he does have solid reason to hate Jim and all his friends, but stopping Morgana is leagues more important. I don't think he would've turned on them if he'd survived after she was defeated either, I think he'd want to rest. To finally, for once, rest.

But he doesn't survive. Instead, Jim kills him- or at least starts the process. Sure, Angor was restraining Morgana and it was an opportunity that they could not miss, but. Did he have to impale them both? Did he really? Angor isn't even mad, he accepts it, gives a last line, "well played, trollhunter", he might even approve. But did it have to happen? Morgana may finish the job, but he was already dying. The pieces of his statue are, if I remember correctly, sent into the shadow realm.

And then. They don't even kill Morgana. Not because they didn't want to, it's because they couldn't, and I accept that, but. It feels so bitter. It's unfair.

And what happened to Morgana? She's trapped in the shadow realm, imprisoned in the very same place where Angor now lays dead, in pieces. The Witch and her Champion, inseparable even now. (and if she managed to revive him again? a nightmare.)

And maybe the worst thing is what we see in Wizards; they go back in time, Morgana begins her descent into villainy, and she's cast off a cliff into the water below. Dead. And Angor finds her. In this time of war and hate and bloodshed, in this time humans and magic are at each others throats, when Angor has no reason to sympathize with a human... he carries her body to shore.

Angor cares. Angor is kind. Angor doesn't see a fallen enemy or collateral damage- and also, trolls eat humans, Gunmar talks about this, but Angor doesn't fish Morgana's body from the water to eat as if she were some fish or something. Not even close.

He takes her because even if she's dead already she should be shown this respect at least. He lays her on the bank, he prays for her in death, and then he leaves. And the Arcane Order take her body, so easy to find and reach thanks to Angor, and they bring her back to life.

They bring her back and she rises to power and eventually Angor comes to her for help, and we all know how that ends.

Angor cared for the soul of a stranger, and so got his taken away.

#i do think that angor might have seen the peace in death #maybe even thought it prefferable to living like he has #but I also don't believe he *wanted* to die #he fights tooth and nail to live. to reclaim his soul. to be FREE. #I think he would have been happy to get to be free AND survive #he'd probably be at least mostly solitary #but I imagine him sitting in the forest on a clear night. the sounds of the forest are comforting. #he has no enemy to be wary of. he has no target or prey to hunt. #the light of the stars is so much gentler now. #i imagine him smiling. not out of malice or pride or anything of the sort. he smiles because... well. #because I like to imagine that he is happy. #but that's not what happens #he dies. his 'master' outlives him. he is forgotten. he dies and it's not even that that let's them defeat morgana. #he dies for nothing. #anyway. this is your cue to write more fanfic and draw more art centering around/including angor. #I expect to see angor content on my desk by the end of the week. #I don't care if it's angst or comedy or fluff or hurt/comfort #I just want to see my boy #angor rot #trollhunters #tales of arcadia #toa #morgana #jim lake jr #wizards

Someday, I will buckle down and write my sexy monster fucking version of King Lindworm, where the prince stays at least semi-dragonfied. But see, I'm torn. Do I make the monster prince cis and he's semi-dragonfied from the wedding night, and now he's just the heir to throne and also a traumatized, aggressive monster boy married to a Very Weird peasant girl who's THE FUTURE QUEEN NOW and also yeah she's kind of a witch and oh by the way the prince is VERY MUCH not a regular person and oh by the way you know all those princesses he ate? Yeah their dads are like mad.

Or

OR

Is he only called 'the prince' because dragons are all intersex and their gender is always self-selected? Is his human form female and the peasant girl actually does complete the ritual and EVERYONE is surprised? And the king and queen just chuck their new 'princess' in a dungeon to rot out of sight and send peasant-queen home to her goddamn mill like you didn't see shit and she's like actually no I am angry AND fearless AND very horny for dragons and her trans dragon husband is all I WILL break out of here I WILL learn the magic it takes to get my real body back I WILL find my wife and the human prince is sweating goddamn bullets as Deranged Peasant Witch and Deranged Trans Dragon Prince and Idiot Moron Queen are all plotting different plots and several of these plots end with him dead.

#Juliet the Swift is a fairy by blood and a witch by learning and a Grim by trade and she is owed a debt #she took binding vows of marriage and performed a dangerous ritual risking her life for a kingdom that she does not belong to #she did this because it was the right thing to do and she honored her word to the highest possible degree #and now those owing the debt are NOT doing the right thing at all and will not give what is hers by right and might #she does not think is owed a crown or a throne or a title #merely her husband (and all that might come with him) #Sollen is just angry #Sollen was born angry and Sollen has lived angry and Sollen knows he will die angry #he does not know what he wants nor does he cared what he is owed #he knows the hunt he knows pursuit he knows blood and combat and speed and survival #and he will not survive this dungeon he will not survive this renewed horror they seek to punish him with #at birth they hurled him into the deep dark forest to die and he grew strong there and he returned to his spawning ground #like a fucking salmon #and he is too Angry to give up here #Prince Kasper is hiding in the belfry leave him alone

Now she cld be a clone (makes more sense) or result of a one night stand (funnier) => #But point is she really wants to fucking fight him and Lance is like 'ok how about you just tell him to fuck off instead?' => #Also Kuron is there. Lance found him and Kuron was like 'Lance you found me! It has been years dont you remember i am Shiro!!' #And Lance who has been ghosting Shiro for years is like 'no you are not?' clone revealations. Not fun.

imagine watching “something wicked” and your only thought coming away from it is “john is a big meanie who hates dean and is a jerk to his kids”. imagine the complete dearth of media literacy and ability to comprehend character that takes. imagine seeing the way JDM manages to convey john’s inner battle between his self-loathing for this being his boys’ life, and his terror for sam’s (and dean’s!) safety, and his mingled anger and disappointment about dean dropping the ball because it’s ultimately yet another way he’s failed as a parent. imagine not getting any of that and bumbling on your way thinking john was cruel to them on purpose and not just some damaged-as-fuck guy trying his utmost and realizing his boys might get out of this alive but he can’t get them out of it unscathed and that’s the best he can manage. the most he can give them is survival and brand name cereal and that’s about it
