Danny was...unnerved, which is unusual considering his upbringing as the child of mad scientists obsessed with the undead.

It had been a few weeks since he had moved into Wayne manor after a conflict between batman and his parents, which led to his home and his friends and family being blown up in a lab malfunction. Most of Amity Park was destroyed in the blasts, including Vlad and his mansion.

Usually Danny would be more suspicious of super rich dudes, but the sorrow in Bruce Wayne's eyes as he pleaded to let Danny take him in was genuine and well, Danny didn't exactly have anywhere else to go. Plus, Bruce looked weirdly guilty when danny told him none of this was his fault, which was weird. Jazz was in college and always looked exhausted on video calls, so he didn't want to bother her there.

The part that bothered him most wasn't that there was anything dangerous or bad happening, but rather the opposite.

Danny was used to dodging his home security system when it randomly targeted him. He was used to ghosts popping up out of nowhere to suckerpunch him. He was used to danger.

And now that there was none, he was jumping at shadows.

Things got better when he met Psaro. He was in the process of being either mugged or kidnapped, he wasn't sure, when this angry goth teen with silver hair and ruby eyes literally came in swinging a steel chair. After the beat down and subsequent rescue, Danny offered to buy them some food. Psaro tried to reject the offer until his stomach suddenly growled, making him blush, and Danny dragged the older goth teen to a restaurant.

They've been best friends since. Psaro later introduced him to his friends Rose and Toilen, explaining that they weren't from this world and that Rose was an elf and Toilen was a Teran from a planet called Terrestria. Danny assumed that Psaro was an elf like Rose due to them both having long pointed ears and mostly focused on Toilen thanks to the "other planet" bit.

Meanwhile, the bats have been keeping an eye out on Danny (aka stalking him) and his new, obviously magical friends.

love when you can ask the Narrator why the Princess is a Princess and he's like 'well i uhhhh YOU did that. maybe it's because uh... something something about her being above you... but still approachable... look i don't want to analyze or anthropomorphize your--' my guy. i am a primal being of Order and Eternity and Shaping. You're the one who convinced me I was some dude and were quite willing to take credit for shaping my view on the world through narration five seconds ago. Are you gonna look me in the eye and tell me the desire to interpret something worthy of adoration and more powerful than me as a dommy princess is written in the very nature of the universe or are you going to show me your browser history like a man

#this is a joke but the 'so where did i get the Idea of a princess from??' still stands #since we remember nothing and don't seem to have many ideas about like. what the world looks like #but when given the conception of 'we're a hero' from the narrator's Quest #we immediately go to 'so the thing you're telling us to kill is a Princess' -> i.e something I'm not SUPPOSED to kill #and in fact am supposed to respect and cherish #and/or pledge eternal loyalty to #(and then on a deeper level we KNOW that we're the dragon #we're the biggest threat to her we're what has the power to trap her and keep her here #we're a monster just like her) #but my point remains. as a god-entity stripped of memory where did we get the idea of a (human/like) Princess. do we still have like... #the threads of common narratives sort of built into our structure b/c we're the god-half concerned with Shaping and Naming and Order? #that would kind of slap #anyway uh. dragging myself offstage now #slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #stp spoilers

I remembered seeing snippets of Dragon Ball, but never grew up with them. I remembered seeing his name as he was famous for the series. Then I got to play Blue Dragon and I was heavily invested in the characters with my family. And a few years ago, I immediately recognized his art style when I saw the Super Smash Bros trailer for Dragon Quest, and if it weren't for Smash Bros I wouldn't have known about Dragon Quest and his legacy as an artist in the series.

Thank you Akira Toriyama.

I’ve only recently gotten into watching dimension 20 and i’ve got to say that there was something beautiful about watching dungeons and drag queens as it came out every week and seeing brennan be such a patient and loving teacher of the game to facilitate a good time for the queens, and then going back to bingeing crown of candy for the first time and getting to watch brennan try to violently kill his best friends every episode as they all intentionally try to fuck each other over

Hot Take

Heros of Olympus would be so much better if everybody was single.

#friendship over romantic relationship #i guess percy and annabeth can stay #just because they were already established #man the interpersonal relationships were what i wanted the most #but not like that! #they can start flirting at the post quest party #that would have been fine #but there were so many missed or at least underexplored dynamics #because we had to focus on the couples #piper and hazel are supposed to be besties? #don't tell me show me #more frank and nico! #come on #let them bond over mythomagic #i know nico is kinda too cool for school #but what an opportunity to let him have a little happy time #i could go on #i won't #heros of olympus #hoo #piper mclean #frank zhang #hazel levesque #jason grace #percy jackson #annabeth chase #nico di angelo #leo valdez

#dimension 20 #dungeons and drag queens #brennan lee mulligan #dropout #like yes of course the intrepid heroes one is exagerating but lol watching d&dq you can see such a difference #he's so nice and helping them in their first quest and explaining everything and accepting all their suggestions #but with the intrepid heroes it's “you better pray” and “explain yourself hilda hilda” and “real life take a test in the middle of a battle #🤣 #my posts #also if someone has made this before i'm sorry i swear i haven't seen any posts like this #but it seemed like an obvious meme lol

The more you think about Jason Grace's life, the more fucked up it gets.

Like, the whole "joined Camp Jupiter as a three year old" thing. We already know Camp Jupiter is fucked up because it places heavy importance on a child army, despite having plenty of demigod adults at hand, but they straight up recruited a three year old into the military. He showed up and got promptly stuck in a barrack for the rest of his childhood.

Like, why?? Why on earth would they do that instead of giving him to someone in New Rome to raise and inducting him into the legion at a respectable twelve??

And who raised him anyway?? A rotating cast of nineteen-year-old demigods?? His bunkmates in the Fifth?? If he was a young teenager I could see that, but he arrived when he was three, was he even potty-trained??? Did he just grow up being educated by bored teenagers and ghosts, watching as demigods arrived and served and retired, being told that he had to be the greatest of them all?? Did he have any other children to grow up with?? Did the legion even consider him different than the other recruits, or did he have to shovel unicorn dung when he forgot his phonics and live with the constant threat of perhaps being sewn into a bag of weasels??

I find it odd that Jason, as a demigod who grew up in a demigod's world, doesn't have his unique perspective explored more. I find it especially odd that the difference between his childhood and everyone else's is ignored. However difficult and varied everyone else's backgrounds are, they've at least attended a school. They had parents, and family, and a home, at least at one point. They had mortal toys and dwellings and communities that weren't merged inextricably with the myths. They knew where they came from. Do you think Jason, with his powerful, kingly father and impending destiny, ever felt like he didn't know who his family was?

I also find it strange that he doesn't seem to have a very wide network of friends from Camp Jupiter? He has Reyna, who he trusts and works with and depends on. He lists Hazel and Frank among his friends, but they look up to him as a role model. He mentions Bobby and Dakota familiarly, but never again. He's familiar and on good terms with basically everyone—but the only person he seems to consider as a close friend is Reyna. And that wouldn't be odd if he hadn't grown up at Camp Jupiter. He doesn't seem to have any constant companion—anyone he considers his family until he meets Leo.

Maybe he and Leo bonded so well because they both knew what it was like to grow up transiently. To have any constant in your life, and know that the day you would move on or they would move on was fast approaching. Maybe the reason he looked at Camp Half-Blood and admired how united and familial they seemed, and wished Camp Jupiter could be similar, was that he could see in them the family he wished he had.

Honestly, I feel like meeting Thalia should have left him in a lot more turmoil than it did. He grew up with no family but a god for a father, and here's a person who wanted him. Someone who always wanted him because he was Jason, and not the demigod son of Zeus. Maybe even someone to whom he mattered more than his destiny.

I really, really wish we'd gotten to see more of the contrasts between him and Percy. He is explicitly the Romans' version of the hero Percy is, except he's the hero first, and the person second. Jason did everything right! He did everything perfectly, and Percy still got where he did without being trained for it his entire childhood. He's got such a better reason to resent him than "bad vibes". They could have been foils for each other hhhhhhhrngh.

Just. This lonely, idolized, child soldier's life hurts me.

#and honestly i want to know all about his life before HOO #all the quests he went on! the friends he made! what shaped him into the person he is today! #his identity problems should run deeper than “i like the greek way but i was born a roman” and “i find it difficult to process the kind of #person my mother was"! #riordanverse #heroes of olympus #jason grace #heros of olympus

While I don’t have any fresh ideas on themes for future Intrepid Heroes seasons, I am always filled with thoughts about cast arrangements. The loudest being:

GM side-quest. Make Matt, Brennan, Aabria, and Murph the players. This is ideally GMed by most player of all time, Ally Beardsley. Just imagine the sheer force of GM-curse energy at this table. Combined with the dice gods’ favoritism of Ally, and Aabria’s inability to miss

Murph GM season. The possibilities are endless. You can keep the IH cast and just swap Murph and Brennan. OR

Murph picks some of his own “emotional support” players for a mix of new and old (à la EXU Calamity and The Ravening War style)

#i literally dont care WHAT the season is about #prequel? sequel? totally new? #you wanna do a one shot? side-quest? full season? #ill take literally any of these cast arrangements in any form. i just think itd be so fun #dimension 20 #d20 #intrepid heroes #ih #matt mercer #brennan lee mulligan #aabria iyengar #brian murphy #ally beardsley

[start i.d.: a drawing of hero oak from dungeons and daddies. she carries a rifle half-heartedly, looking at the viewer confused and unimpressed. the background is orange, with swirls and splatter of neon green and purple, the lines wobbly and colorful. behind her head is a blank film reel. end i.d.]

chosen one?
