blaine in blame it on the alchol has always been so interesting to me, and i wish that the episode was told more from his perspective. what always stands out are the things he says to kurt - it’s more confusing for him, and he’s trying to figure out who he is.

i wonder a lot about his journey with being gay to this point. perhaps he’s always had these questions, and came out before truly being sure of who he is, and if there’s one thing about blaine, he can fake confidence. it might be a degree of projecting, but i get this idea that, despite being “out and proud,” blaine still has a lot of insecurity about his sexuality, and, maybe just a little bit, is seeing if his attraction to rachel is real because of this insecurity. this seems very possible when, in the very next episode, blaine drops the absolute bomb that keeps me up at night that, at the very least in his mind, his father has tried to “make him straight,” and when later we learn about the sadie hawkins incident.

this is a kid who has been attacked for who he is, who believes his father doesn’t accept him, of course kissing a girl under the influence could give him these thoughts that maybe that is a possibility for him. his relationship with his dad could be better, it might make the world safer for him. but in the end he has to accept that that isn’t who he is. to me, that’s a much more compelling story than kurt’s side of things, and i think a really relatable plotline for someone like me who identified other ways for a long time because the idea of being gay was difficult.

and an aside: this could all work so well into klaine getting together in t-minus two episodes. what if blaine demonstrably sees how his feelings for rachel are not the same things he feels for kurt? what if the security this episodes conclusion gives him of knowing who he is makes him more ready to be with kurt? much to think about.

#blaine anderson #glee #text #gleewatching #since this all came off a rewatch #blaine meta #this plotline drives my brain crazyyyy #im a lesbian who identified as bi for about five years because i was in deep deep denial #so i see blaine maybe be in a bit of denial for like... 2 days #and am like omg... he just like me fr #obviously some people just geniuinely like. question and explore and thats a valid interpretation #but to me i can see how hes confusing and its really a lot for him #and blaines nothing if not deeply insecure #and theres so many ways the show couldve explored it more #a different post that could be made here about how hes the inverese of kurt whos known hes gay forever #while blaine might have realized not long before we meet him and just sort of immediately declared it to the world #and faced the confusion of that period of time while also dealing with the reactions #thats a headcanon though we know nothing about his coming out. sigh

im so tempted to turn my kurt centric seblaine fic into a sebklaine fic for no reason i don’t even ship them??? nor kurtbastian by itself??? what?

it would be so cool though because like my wip is all about kurt witnessing sebastian and blaine fall in love and the conflicting feelings of being angry and also having to witness someone else make his boyfriend happy in the way he should be doing and he gets to learn more sides of both blaine and sebastian and he even sympathizes with sebastian a bit, so like it definitely could turn into something more yknow

#glee #sebklaine #kurtbastian #seblaine #blaine anderson #kurt hummel #sebastian smythe #fanfic #writing #i’m getting attached to kurt through my wip #which i didn’t know was possible #because i don’t particularly care for him #(mainly because i experience glee through seblaine fics primarily and he’s usually written with either discontent or indifference #but like i feel bad for him in my fic #so that’s changing my perspective i guess)#i might end up just writing two similar but separate fics #only a maybe though because like i said not even really a fan of kurt in the first place #but it is interesting

I guess I'll be doing it! Fairytale dresses 2.0 will be here this spring/summer💐🌸🌻

Feel free to send suggestions/requests of Stranger Things girlies and dresses✨️

Glee Fairytale Dresses 2021

I do have dresses picked out for the main ST girlies, most of them aren't set in stone until I start to draw them! I had trouble picking them so suggestions are very welcome🙏🏻 El, Max, Robin, Nancy and Erica take 5/9 dresses, and I forgot about most of the side characters so I don't think I have the right amount to do them all so please help??.

I thought about drawing Karen and Joyce, then Karen reminded me of Holly and that would be so cute but young children are hard to draw. I completely forgot about Chrissy, Vickie, Barb and Suzie, the only side character girlies I remebered were Heather and Angela💀. That's 9 characters that'd have to fight for 4 dresses so I don't know what I'm doing, who should be left out? Or do I just choose 5 more dressed to do all 14 girls?? Or is there more I'm forgetting about😭

#Fairytale Dresses 2.0 #stranger things #Byler #<- target audience because y'all are my corner of ST tumblr. sorry to fill the tag with semi unrelated stuff🤡#ronance #bacause this is for the leasbians #I'm thinking of maybe posting few at a time this time instead of one at a time🤔#I was so tempted to choose so manym more dresses but most of them had flowers and I just can't do that. it's too time consuming #last time all of them had simple repeat patterns so it was hella fast to do most of them but this time idk 🤡#last time edit before posting: I picked out 5 more dressed INCASE I feel like drawing 10 to 14 characters🤡#but I won't post them before I have atleast one done✌🏻#also i debated on making this a mixed fandom project because I thought I didn't have enough girls for 9 dresses. turns out I hav way more #so sorry glee peeps who still follow #I almost made content for you

"#and people can be so fucking performative about mertina but that's another topic"

can you talk more about that? I have noticed some people on reddit resenting Faberritana’s popularity because three of them are white (and one is viewed as the epitome of pretty privilege) and another is a slender, lighter-skinned and mixed-white Afro-Latina (aka Hollywood’s “acceptable” version of a black woman, akin to Zendaya) and while that’s a discussion to be had, imo some in the fandom take it too far and suggest that racism, colorism and fatphobia are the main reasons why they're the four most popular female characters on Glee in general and idk that also rubs me the wrong way.

Yes of course, because it can be a controversial topic but honestly fuck whoever takes issue with me saying this.

Like, let's start off with this: I get that the Faberritana thing can be annoying. I myself find it grating, particularly when I see stuff from the height of the Glee fandom 2011-2012 and it's very clearly centering on Faberritana, at the expense and exclusion of the two other main girls who are less conventionally palatable for, let's be honest, racist and fatphobic reasons. And Glee itself was very, very bad at centering them. So like, I Get It. Faberritana feels like elevating the three white ladies of the group and "allowing" Santana to also take on that fan favourite role. I'd wager, because of the queer storyline and yes, Naya's undeniable conventional attractiveness. Although I do take issue with the baffling backlash people like Zendaya face because shifting the blame onto women of colour for Hollywood deeming them more screen appropriate is in itself fucked up. Particularly in Naya's case because her mixed heritage was constantly ignored to boil it down to something more easily consumable, such as in the context of Glee her being the token Latina and her Blackness all but erased. But anyway.

The answer to this being this, like you say, taking it too far and creating a counter movement is just all wrong. To me. Not only because putting some women down to elevate others NEVER should be the fucking case oh my god it's 2023, but because appreciation for Mertina being born out of spite towards Faberritana enjoyers is... not real appreciation. I could start stanning St Berry sooo hard but if it's just because I find Finchel more and more repulsive, that ain't gonna be the great win for St Berry I sometimes see people posit Mertina appreciation as. I know this sounds strange but it's the fandom equivalent of trying to make an ex jealous via your rebound. You're not actually taking the rebound's feelings into consideration. Alright okay out of left field simile but you get where I'm coming from.

I think that's what annoyed me the most in my reddit days, which, *shudders* are thankfully over. This childish need to counterbalance to take extreme. X ch is popular? Well I don't like them so there must be a moral reason as to why they're The Worst, actually. Y ship is well-liked? I'm going to passive-aggressively show appreciation for Z shit all while implying that all who support another ship hint hint wink wink are Wrong and basic. I think all who spent time on the sub will be able to relate to this. But like I say, that's not real appreciation. If you feel like showing appreciation for, say, Mertina because they're statistically less like to be talked about with the same fervor, good! Please do that. But make it come from a place of authenticity or I, for one, will not be able to get fully behind it.

It's slightly different on tumblr. One, because you curate your own dashboard and experiences and I've fortunately seen the love get spread around a lot more. There are entire blogs I associate with loving Tina (hello tumblr user @tina-cohen-chang) and though Mercedes love is less "centered", I guess, it's ubiquitous as far as I see. And sure, some chs will always be more appreciated than others, but I don't see people throwing a hissy fit about Artie not being even close to being as popular or Klaine, or similar things. Liking the Glee boys is basically synonymous to liking Klaine + Sam + Mike but people never used the term Klainesike so I guess that's okay. And to be clear, it is okay! Like who you like, call it what you want. I'm happy to see things like Tina week or the relatively smaller but constant portions of Mercedes love. It's never the people complaining about Faberritana supplying it, though, which is why it's so performative. You don't have to be a content creator, no one does, but also no one owes you anything and supporting less fan favourite-y chs out of pure spite just makes you look like an ass.

Circling back, even with all this said I too find the unironic use of the Faberritana portmaunteu cringe and I do think Mertina deserve more appreciation. And I think there are layers of racism as well as the show's own issues playing into why that isn't the case. They were less featured and that in itself is a problem. And that's worth investigating within fandom circles. But that's never what happens when the people of reddit complain about Faberritana's popularity and instead it just becomes this resentment party where no one wins but they give themselves brownie points for even pretending to like the Black and Asian women of the show. Congrats I guess, real win for intersectional feminism right there. Really kicked racism in the gut with that.

Basically it just becomes grating, far more grating than unironically using the term Faberritana, when people get into petty passive-aggressive counter-movements in fandom. It becomes not about love for Mertina but bitterness that chs they happen to not like are popular. And I know I just said in my reply that I don't vibe with what I perceive to be inauthentic appreciation of chs, but I also don't like when fans start policing within fandom. So I'm not doing that with anything I'm saying, in fact what I'm trying to get at is to enjoy and let enjoy. Heaven knows I don't have the energy to spread all my Glee love equally and that's okay. I do try to express the love I have for chs other than Santana, or other than my usual suspects but at the end of the day, I know what I like and I like it because I want to enjoy it. Getting sort of off topic, anyway, so just like stop be an ass about people's love for things and mind your own business. If your own business is liking thing X then that's great, enjoy the fandom content and create your own if you wish, but why be mad about what people like about a 10 year-old show, particularly if you're too lazy to actually have those discussion about race and gender and other larger societal issues. You know?

#i also just HATE what the subreddit has done to the term 'pretty privilege' lmaoooo but that's another topic #yet again another topic lmao #this is why i'll never be rid of glee #glee asks #anon #i guess this needed to be said #tbc if you disagree i don't automatically think you're an asshole i just wonder which point you disagree with and why #glee subreddit #imma tag it as that because i am complaining specifically about the sub #if anyone does this on tumblr i just don't follow them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#you could say it rubs me the wrong way too #because it's truly JUST about being bitter that chs they don't like are popular #cue mertina singing cxg's i feel like this isn't about me #damn that's a good joke it should have gone in the post #ah well real ones who read the tags will see #this is a long rambly post so maybe that will be like two people #hi ❤#glee fandom

perhaps also related to the fact that i am scheduled to close this weekend with the person who was apparently laughing about how a year ago there was a supervisor chat without me Specifically for the purpose of shit talking me

and im supposed to treat her graciously after that? get Fucking real.

#speculation nation #negative/#like. i will. i'll treat her politely as is expected of me working with someone i dont like #even though that wasn't a courtesy extended to me by the people last year. including her apparently!#i dont know why she's come back. i want to gut her like a fish.#i dont think i mentioned that but i learned a few weeks ago that she was laughing about this to a few employees #who called her out for it. which makes me feel very grateful to them.#how fucking immature though. resorting to bullying and ostracizing in a workplace environment.#this was the bullshit that had me fucking Sobbing bc of it all. and you're Laughing about it?#you saw the day that girl screamed at me & how i cried for a half hour straight in storage #until i finally pulled myself together enough to work (though i was still next to tears for Hours)#me. a person who cries Maybe 4 times a year. if even. it had me struggling that hard to not cry.#and this is Funny to you? it's Funny that i was treated like that? just because you all didnt like me bc i was Too Confrontational?#a: im as confrontational as i need to be to avoid problems festering. as a grown fucking adult should be.#and b: even if you didnt like me that's still fucked UP #what the fuck is WRONG with you people??????? why do you take so much glee from my pain?#and again. in a fucking place of work. i know it's food service but Please. have some basic fucking professionalism.#i dont know how im supposed to get through this shift. im so fucking angry at it all.#the anger and frustration has been cycling faster and faster in my heart and i want to Hurt Things but there's nothing im allowed to hurt #so what am i to do? how do i get rid of this feeling? i know what ive done in the past but im not allowed to do that now #with nothing to do im just blasting this fucking song. maybe if i play it loud enough it'll fix me.

What season was current when you started watching SG?

i was waaaaay late to this clown convention bro 5a was airing as i was catching up on five years of lesbians!!!

#so. so. i first watched s1 when it came out in 2015 #and i liked it but like. there was no lena yet so i wasn't HOOKED hooked #i know you wouldn't know it now but believe it or not superheroes are generally really Not My Thing #and then once lena arrived i kept seeing fruity stuff about them on tumblr as the great lesbian migration commenced once more #but i avoided the brain rot for years until i finally saw one sexy post too many and thought shit maybe i should give it another go #also because hello like. katie and mel are fucking gorgeous #so this was late 2019 when i started watching the whole thing from the beginning to catch up #and i distinctly remember winter 2019 seeing that clip of 5a kara at mount norquay and lena turning off the cannons at the last second #that clip was going around on tumblr while i was like just starting s3 and i remember thinking holy fuck #however gay they are now (s3) it's clearly only going to get gayer #and i was RIGHT #anyway. so i was all caught up to the present by the time 5a finished and ive watched it live ever since the 5b premiere!!!#so since the beginning of 2020 ive really been IN this clown car you feel me #never really wrote fic though #but then the pandemic hit and everything shut down and these two fruits had me in a chokehold and lo and behold #my ao3 account was born #and that's what you missed on glee #so i have not been here since the beginning but by god i'm here till the bitter end #hope you're having a wonderful day #asks #anonymous

omg you say that's a giant mushroom creature but my brain went "that's just an acorn guy 🐱" so cute though love him!

I can kind of see it! Either way, thanks! I am very happy with how it turned out

#ask away!#thanks nonny! I am very happy with how the creature turned out #I'm thinking of maybe calling them forest spirits? and then I can make various plant versions #so these'd be mushroom forest spirits maybe #because mooshies is trademarked and funguys are apparently a Ben 10 villain lol #well. maybe not a villain? I just assumed villain because of the glee on my brother's face when he showed me the google result #but he never said they were Ben 10 villains just that they were on Ben 10 #it would just not be the first (or like...third or fourth) time I have accidentally named something after a villain #from a show I haven't watched (I mean. I have seen Ben 10. I do not remember the funguys though lol)

The funny thing about grief is that you just can’t rationalise it. Yeah sure you can think about it logically, make sense of it in that way, but then there’s this constant, nagging, clawing part of you that’s just deeply human, that just wants to be human, almost desperately so, and it overrides logic sometimes and that’s ok

#recent events have been a bit heavy #sigh #bad start to this year :|#I mean I guess I’m pretty cold and don’t show much emotion other than happiness and glee when I’m with people I like but I don’t really ever #let the sadness or anger come up to the surface because I find them to be awfully inconvenient so I just deal with them with a neutral face #and it looks as if I don’t feel anything and I don’t as long as I wear that expression but then sometimes something just happens that you #simply cannot keep it in and it does come out and then I feel like I’ve betrayed myself. but it’s okay that’s life. and though my coping s #mechanisms might not be the healthiest they have gotten me this far and maybe one day I’ll live a life where expressing those emotions don’t #doesn’t* make me cringe and one day I’ll able to live out the true experience of being human but until then I’ll have to keep it all packed #tightly inside me as if they are bags of luggage that I don’t really have any use for but I take with me everywhere and never unpack #maybe some day I’ll find a home and can unpack it all and get rid of what’s not needed. one day and I have no choice but to move along #until I find a home. sometimes circumstances are just like that. you can’t survive if you waste your time crying or punching walls #idk. sigh. I’m just putting this here #text

currently having thoughts about aro!kurtbastian in a qpr

#glee #kurtbastian #kurt hummel #sebastian smythe #pride month #headcanons #my headcanons #no but can you imagine 👀#aro!Kurt has a special place in my heart #because young Kurt has this idea of romance built up in his mind that is almost performative #and I love the idea of him realizing that he maybe doesnt actually want that and was just adopting things he THOUGHT he should want #and then Bas comes along who unashamedly does not want a romantic relationship #and Kurt is fucking /intrigued/#Bas is happy and doing what he wants and having casual sex and you can do that????#and they get close and create a deep bond and they do grow to love each other but it's not romantic #Kurt feels conflicted because they'll do some traditionally 'romantic' thing and he gets confused again #and Bas just says 'who cares? we want to do this so we can #there's no rule that says we need to be in a romantic relationship to do this'#and eventually Kurt is like. yeah.#and they stay together and do what they want and don't give a shit what anybody else thinks about it #because they're friends and they have sex and they're not in love with each other but that doesn't matter at all #what they have together is all they could ever imagine wanting #thank you for coming to my ted talk <3 #maybe someday I'll write the fic gkdhdhdk #mine

can my brain not overcomplicate the seblaine week ideas in my head like i’m not even 100% sure i’m gonna write for seblaine week and my brain is braining and i would like it to not brain because i have twoo many ideas it is not beneficial for me to add more

#glee #seblaine #fanfic #writing #i’ll be like aww i can do a nicknames thing for soulmates because i have nickname headcanons for them #and then an evil evil voice whispers to me saying #what if they knew they were soulmates and they still didn’t get together and it just adds to all the tension they already have about being #two individuals who want and care about and like each other (and maybe even love) and #one has a boyfriend and is a coward and one has never has a boyfriend and is a coward #like hello i don’t have the time for that i wanted something fluffy and cute

I kinda feel like retheming but I'm conscious of always picking the same episodes.

#pasty faced ghost girl ( out of character. )#I'll say this and immediately pick rose's turn #I think why I like my current theme is that it's kinda fun to just go with a photoshoot #it's just hard with glee because honest to god it looks like ass a lot of the time #the choir room is BROWN #but y'know... the actual performances look GREAT #but visually idk. I feel like I've done all the big good looking kurt ones #rose's turn I'm still here #maybe I wanna hold your hand. I do like red . . .

Random Glee pet peeve: when people think they’re being so smart by criticizing the newbies as 1:1 copies of the OG graduates.

Not defending the way Glee wrote the newbies over here but it’s a lazy, overdone take and shows an utter unwillingness to explore the newbies’ characters. And when your critique refuses to look deeper than that, it’s not any more clever than the writing you’re dismissing.

#at the point when you're purposefully trying to fit a newbie into a neat little OG shaped box #you've lost your argument #anyway glee's writing sucks and the way they handled the newbies sucks #but the one to one argument is so shallow and overdone and ignores the fact #that these are ARCHETYPES that they're redoing #but those dismissing nuance don't care about that #unique is NOT mercedes that's very clearly a bad example #there are similarities yes and racism at play that needs to be called out #but it's like you're refusing to find any joy in the new characters #glee #i'm not a s4 newbie defense squad member but hell maybe i am #like it's just so much like shallow buzzwordy criticism to be like #and then they copied the originals!#and not looking beyond that #marley and rachel serve a similar narrative purpose but they're NOTHING alike personality wise #if anybody says that's because marley has no personality it's on sight #what a tag ramble this ended up being #real ones will read all the way through ❤

I just really like the trope of Danny getting summoned, alright?

——

After he shoved Pariah Dark in his coffin shaped locker what what Danny hoped to be for all of eternity, the half unfortunately inherited all of Pariah’s responsibilities.

“What was it again? With great powers comes great responsibilities?” Danny let his head hit the table with an audible thunk. He’s in his “office,” the ghost zone’s approximation of where he might be able to do work seriously. The house- the extension of his haunt- had added the room right next to his bedroom. Danny had to lift all of the paperwork from Pariah’s castle (that’s now also a part of what’s considered Danny’s but he doesn’t think about that) and move it to his main haunt.

He prayed to the universe at large to let him off. Danny hated doing homework- science not withstanding because at least he understood that- let alone an asshole’s centuries worth of work. Danny bemoaned the fact that he was elected the King. He didn’t even defeat Pariah all by himself, so why couldn’t the others do it?!

Like a wave of merciful fate, the beginning tugs of a summoning pulled at his core.

“Thank Ancients!”

Danny scrambled to grab a sticky note, unfortunately glowing green as things tended to in the Ghost Zone, and scribbled down that he’s been summoned and to not look for him until his vacation work was done.

With that note done, Danny decided to bring his A game to the summoning. Allowing his secondary form to wash over him, Danny quickly checked the mirror to make sure he was presentable. A bright glowing ice crown- not the crown of fire, because it was essentially useless without the ring and Danny wasn’t keen on being a king, let alone a near infinitely powerful one- settled across his brow showed his status. A cape, this form’s best feature, made of an expanse of galaxies, nebulae, and frost cling at the end was swept over his shoulders and pinned together with a cloak pin made of clusters of black holes.

A couple of additions to his normal hazmat suit and his trusty thermos at his side, Danny all but dove into the summoning magic with an excited whoop of glee.

As Danny got closer to the magic-made portal, he could hear the whispers of the living presences beyond it.

His summoners! Hopefully it’s not a cult again, even if he thought they were pretty funny trying to summon the king of the dead to kill more people. Not funny “haha,” funny weird.

How should he do this…? Scary? Funny? Oh! Or maybe he should ditch the crown!

Danny grinned, waving his hand to dispel the crown of ice. It was nice, but he was in a dungeon critter mood today.

“Oh, this is going to be gooood.”

Danny cracked his knuckles and put on the most dead-inside-and-outside expression he could manage, modeling it off of the Nasty Burger workers during closing shift. The halfa stepped through the portal.

——

“The ritual is completed! You will all face the might of Pariah Dark, the eternal king of the dead!” The villain of the week cackled as his cult cheered. Wonder Woman, scuffed and injured from the magical bolts these magic users had shot at her earlier, grimaced and raised her sword.

“We will defeat Pariah Dark,” she proclaimed. Her allies rallied at her proclamation and readied themselves for another fight. “This world will not bow to the likes of you!”

“We are all but mere ants before the king of the dead! Pariah Dark will bring forth the reckoning this shitty world deserves!”

“Actually, Pariah Dark’s kind of busy, so you’re gonna have to leave a message.”

Green Arrow’s arrow jerked towards the new voice. Batman paused, hand holding batarangs at the ready. He, out of all of them, knew better than to underestimate a young voice.

A gloved hand shoved through the green portal, using the edges like a door frame to heave itself through. A humanoid shape, with sharp ears all but crawled out of the Lazarus green portal. Batman wondered if this was what Jason saw when he came back to life.

"Lord Pariah Dark is busy?!"

The figure- a boyish not-human- heaved a sigh. "Do you people seriously think that the High King of the Infinite Realms isn't swamped with work?"

"And who are you supposed to be? His secretary?" Hal asked, Ring glowing and at the ready. Wonder Woman tensed and mentally struck Hal away from the list of people to consider for diplomatic missions.

"Me? I'm a glorified paper pusher." The being turned back to the cultists, his cape containing the universe swished behind him. "Did you have a message for Pariah Dark?"

"He was meant to rain down death and destruction!"

"Okay, first of all, I feel like you guys are missing a really important point." The being pointed at the cult leader. “It’s not called the King of the Dead for no reason, you know. Death comes for everyone eventually. Also, I have to do a seriously giant amount of paperwork every time one of you fruitloops gets the bright idea to cause an influx of deaths.”

Danny stomped across the circle, grabbed the collar of the cultist leader’s cloak and yanked him down. He shook him. “Do you people have any idea how annoying it is?! Huh?! Do you know how long the A-354 Form is?! Stop trying to get Pariah to kill people! I’m sick of the paperwork, dammit!”

"How- how did you get out of the circle?!"

The cultists and the heroes squared up, ready to fight the possible common enemy: Danny.

Danny is having the best time of his half life. Screw kingly dignity, Danny’s gotta de-stress somehow! He had a whole bag of complaints!

"You wrote the circle wrong, idiots! Ancients, are you people even literate? What even are those scribbles?" Danny kept shaking the cultist. Wow, what an amazing stress ball!

“Uh- hey, he looks kind of sick…” The Flash said, trying to be a good hero and mediate before escalating. Danny snarled and Flash held up his hands, gulping in fear as Danny’s eyes narrowed at him. “Did I… do something?”

“You,” Danny hissed. “You mother- fruitloop! Stop screwing with the timeline, you giant red-! Do you know how annoying it is to readjust the death count every time one of you little merry red jesters takes a jaunt through time and space?! Do you even know how many complaints I had to field?! Oh, boy you’re all going to regret summoning me today, because I’ve had a long time to think about what I’d do to everyone who made me work overtime!”

Danny bared his teeth, eyes sparkling with mirth as he froze the cultists.

"We're not letting you take over the world," Hawk-Woman said, raising her mace that pulsed with electricity.

Danny snorted to hide his wince. "I'm not interested. Just let me punch him once. Just once." Danny pointed at the Flash.

"Honestly, I can't even blame you," Black Canary muttered, fists raised.

"Wha-! Canary! That's so rude! You traitor!"

"Shouldn't have put skittles in my shoes then. Those hurt, Flash."

"Enough." Everyone shut up at the sound of Batman's command. "What do you mean they wrote the circle wrong."

Danny, who was watching the byplay with interest, shrugged. "They wanted to summon the Ghost King, right? We've had a... change of leaders recently."

"Who is the leader now?"

Danny waggled a finger at Batman. "Nuh-uh. I'm gonna collect my over-time compensation, which is punching the Flash, and then we can negotiate for information."

"Flash."

"I don't want to get punched, Bats!"

"The alternative is that I let the current Ghost King have a go at you."

"Flash."

"Oh my god, just get punched, Barry!" Danny heard Green Lantern Hal Jordan whisper.

"Ugh, fine. No one video this."

Immediately, three phones go up to record the Flash getting decked by a teenage looking ghost. Danny floated closer and wound his fist back, letting loose some of the ghost strength he normally keeps restrained. "This is for my overtime and for Clockwork, you jerk."

The halfa slammed his fist straight into the Flash's face, knocking him clear into the air. Superman catches him but Danny no longer paid attention to the Flash, petty vengeance enacted.

"Honestly, I don't have a problem with you as a person. You're kind of cool. Break the timeline again in the next three months, though, and you're on my shit-list."

"What do you want in exchange for information?"

Danny hummed. "Depending on the level of information, and I reserve the right to not answer any questions. For the name of the current Ghost King..."

He did want that new gaming console. And Jazz could use some help with her rent.

"I want $5,000 and a plate of really good spaghetti."

"I have cash."

Danny nodded at the Dark Knight. "You just carry $5,000 in cash on you? Who does that?"

"I like to be prepared."

"And he's rich," Superman chimed in.

The Flash reappeared with a plate of spaghetti from an Italian place he teleported to. "Here you go. Fresh, and pleasedon'tscrewwithmyafterlife."

Danny shoveled the spaghetti into his mouth, jaw unhinging like a particularly disturbing snake right before he dumped the whole thing- plate and all- down his throat. "Thanks! The food didn't even try to kill me this time! You're good."

"Does your food try to kill you all of the time?!" The Flash- Barry, apparently- asked.

Danny nodded as he took the cash from Batman's gloved hands. "Totally. It sucks."

"Identity." Batman demanded.

"Oh, yeah. The current ghost king is me."

"...What."

"You have been swindled. Bamboozled. Outwitted and outsmarted," Danny snickered, shoving the bundle of cash in his chest. "But seriously, I'm the king. We got rid of Pariah a while ago."

The crown of ice materialized.

"You said you were a glorified paper pusher!" Hawk-Woman chortled.

"I am! I'm pushing so many papers across my desk, it's unending, I swear!"

Batman growled. "You tricked us."

Danny smirked, "You got tricked." Red Robin, in the corner, snorted quietly. "Anyways, if you've got more interesting things around here, I'll considering busying myself with that instead of sentencing you to an afterlife of paperwork."

The adults straightened, grimacing. "Beast Boy is green," Hal offered up.

"Hey!" Beast Boy shouted, offended at the easy way Hal offered him up. He turned to Danny. "But have you ever seen a green chinchilla? Super cute. Watch!"

"Woah!" Danny clapped. Yes, he'll hang out with them before dragging himself back.
