#so contextually the ancients are probably demons and pagan gods

DP x DC: Custody

Do you know what ghosts are?

Okay you presumably have an idea of the concept, but are you aware of what ghosts are in the DC universe?

In DC, when you die, you tend to go where you think you should, with a couple notable exceptions. Your soul goes where you think it should.

A ghost is a soul that has not moved on to an afterlife, has escaped an afterlife(usually hell), or some force keeps them from moving on. The Ghost Zone? That’s just where souls that don’t have an afterlife to go to but don’t want to move on to Death’s domain

Selling your soul? That’s just giving custody of your ghost to someone, and they collect upon death. a bit more akin to selling yourself into future slavery, but you get the point

Tricky thing is only one being can collect on a soul/ghost and upon death John Constantine has some pissed of Demons ready to collect

That’s going to be one hell of a custody battle, and Danny counts as a neutral third party since he doesn’t belong to a specific afterlife

He can already feel the headache

#dp x dc #dp x dc crossover #dp x dc prompt #dpxdc #that is actually how ghosts work in DC #ghosts also can become demons if they’re wicked enough #so contextually the ancients are probably demons and pagan gods #or both #undergrowth fits either category #also ignoring that currently only satan has dibs on John’s soul #and that’s for him stabbing satan in the face with a wine bottle #the other two that he actually sold his soul to are dead #like fully dead #made into nothingness because demons already are souls and disappear if you actually manage to kill them #Satan and Lucifer are two different people btw Lucifer is just hanging out in LA #Satan is the first of the fallen
