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

can we get a snippet of the next chapter of tbhtbh, queen?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My bros it has been 84 years but I swear to god it’s getting done one day. Have this and my eternal thanks for your praise and patience in the meantime.
A few hours earlier, when the light falling through the windows had been muddled sunlight instead, Darcy had come to her.
The witch had stood in the middle of the room, seemingly alone to anyone who merely glanced inside. Her back straight, her eyes downcast.
“You knew.”
It's a rasp, barely more than a whisper. She doesn’t recognize her own voice, but Darcy hears her anyway. Still, she doesn’t turn towards Bloom, hidden in the shadows of her corner as she is.
“I know many things,” Darcy says evenly. Composed. But there's a small, narrow edge of defiance there, too, something almost childishly deflective.
Bloom doesn’t look up either.
“You knew about Andros. You knew about his plan.”
Her hand clamped over the side of her neck tightens.
“His mark.”
She opens her eyes.
“My friends.”
Darcy has her back turned towards her. If there's any emotion at all on her face, genuine or false as it may be, Bloom cannot see it. The witch runs a dark blonde strand of hair through her fingers and stays silent.
Then:
“I advised you not to give him the excuse, didn’t I?”
“You advised me to give up. In more flowery words, maybe.”
“I told you, Bloom. You're not my priority here.”
She breathes out. Leans her head back against the wall and pulls her knees closer, as if there's any comfort in that.
“Was it your idea?”
“No. But I would have suggested it to him, if it had been.”
She steps towards the window, stares down at the frozen surface of Domino beneath them. Or would stare down at it, if it weren’t hidden by the eternal clouds surrounding the tower.
“He's toyed with the idea since before we even found you, I think. But I don’t think he considered it… urgent, until you were shot.”
She crosses her arms. Dignified or defensive, or maybe a mix of both.
“Your friends weren't as careful as you. Icy figured out they were involved on Icthos, and from then on it really was just a matter of making the right people believe the right thing. He's good at that, you know.”
She does know.
On the other side of the room, backlit by the cold, harsh daylight, Darcy inclines her head just a little.
“Icy told me he hesitated. For a while, at least. The day before you escaped.”
Her nails dig into her skin, and her memory seems to taunt her, snippets of half-heard conversations floating through her head. Things she'd found confusing, now seeming perfectly clear. So laughably obvious, in hindsight.
“Was there ever a chance he would have stopped, if I'd stayed?”
It's not really a question. There's no answer to it she doesn’t know already.
It's the hollow hope of reassurance, maybe. A demand for confirmation, pointless as it is.
Darcy breathes out a laugh.
“No. Not really, huh?”
She turns around and leans back against the glass, finally facing her.
“Doomed if you do, doomed if you don’t. I still think you would have improved your circumstances a lot, though, if you'd listened.”
There are no circumstances that could have fixed this. The look she throws Darcy says as much.
The other girl sighs.
“Not that it matters now. If there ever was a point to back out, we missed it.”
She walks out as calmly as she'd entered. But she pauses at the door to look back, just for a moment.
“And I don’t dwell on what-if's, Bloom,” the Witch of the Darkest Night says. The shadows of the hallway seem to reach for her, as if to welcome her home.
“I do the best with what I have.”

i saw one (1) tik tok of that cut scene with astarion when you don't romance him so he essentially becomes a vigilante in order to only feed on criminals, and now i'm thinking ALL the thoughts.

I really want to enjoy Ghost Files but I feel like it's a little over produced now compared to its Unsolved counterpart. Like do we really need all these stupid sound effects playing over the clips? The thing that really irked me recently are the bell sound effects when they were waiting for the ghosts to presumably ring the bell. Like come on.
I miss when things were just the right amount of lofi and with the right amount of production but maybe it's a me problem

Turns out if I complain loud enough I can get things delivered faster, and faster it did as I realised not even a minute into drawing that I literally could have finished this in one sitting were it not for my pen carking it-
Anyway- have a problematic woman, on the house :)

gently shakes mxtx hoping some worldbuilding falls out
#this is re: the night hunts discovery but also in general#you have shit like chapter 2/3 mentioning wwx coming up with a classification of the 'severity' of the hauntings based on how many people#were killed in a timespan. or the fact that apparently there's A list of the most ??? young masters#but like. details? how did these came to be? they're just thrown into the wind and Deal With It Dear Reader#who came up with the ranking. are there monthly polls that the young ladies from the cultivating families vote on#is this something an association of matchmakers came up with. is this something out of a 'magazine' for non-cultivators#because i guess cultivators are kinda like celebrities in this 'verse? what are the criteria? WE JUST DON'T KNOW DOT BIRD#and the night hunts. what IS a night hunt. is this when people are like 'help i am being haunted/something is OFF'#is this when there are some vague reports and a group of cultivators goes 'ok we meet on the 15th around 5pm and#whoever deals with the Thing first gets to harass the locals for the payment'#is this an official tournament organized by one of the cultivating sects?#what's the difference in 'there's a Weird Beast That Oozes Slime' and 'this woman saw her child and husband get eaten#alive by a furious ghost' and are they both equally game-fied#because like. iirc the organization of a Big Official Tournament-like 'night hunt' requires one to... gather? the monsters?#oh yeah and there's that. what's the monster/ghost/fuckery density in this world. am i going to stumble on 13 different#ghosts/monsters/whatever 5 minutes into what was supposed to be a pleasant walk in the woods OR are they#more like... rare? i don't know man. i'm already tired#and like DON'T system me i know. i know this is a webnovel its purpose is Not to have impeccable everything#it's primarily a fun romp with oooooo main gay couple!! but. nng#shrimp thoughts

saddest most excruciating moment of my entire life is when we went to the Winchester Mansion, a place ive read about and been obsessed with and wanted to visit my whole life, and i was talking to the tour guide after the tour and she was like "its a super cool place to get to work! We're hiring right now actually, are you local & over 16?? You should totally drop off an application!! You'd fit right in lol"
and I just had to sit there and be like "aw, no, haha, i live all the way up in WA" and internally im just
