#solve cases

[why-is-it-always-autumn]

Love a self-inflicted time loop. The main character isn’t trapped.  They can stop whenever they want.  But how can they when things aren’t perfect yet?  They can do better than this.  They need to try again.  They can get it right this time.  They just need to try again.  They can stop anytime they want.  Just one more time.  They can fix this. They just need to try again.  There are still things to fix.  They just need to try again.

#time travel #its about the tunnel vision #its about losing sight of what a win condition even looks like #its about writing off the entire timeline at the slightest inconvenience #its about increasing alienation #its about failing to notice that youre destroying yourself and in some cases making things worse #its about the atrophy of your own problem solving skills #its about treating your friends like unskippable cutscenes #its about gradually forgetting everything outside the loop #its about the fact that you arent even really trapped #its about making the same choice over and over again #its about falling hard into the sunk cost fallacy

Danny is travelling around solving unsolved murders and it is infuriating the local heroes cus each of them have went through training from either batman or a batman approved trainer and nothing about the way he says he solved the cases add up but the killer confesses and how the fuck did he solve them

Notable ways he has solved cases include the blood "told" him he heard the knife drop he sensed the killers "vibe" he followed the footsteps of the spirits he asked the victim he smelled the killers scent and the killer stabed him and he "recognised his handie work"

Danny meanwhile is just doing a cross country trip and helping ghosts rest and families find peace by talking to ghosts and giving that info to the police

#dpxdc #dp x dc #dc x dp #dcxdp #dp x dc crossover #danny is pissing off every hero because he is giving them the info to solve the case #but he doesn't answer how he got it #and if he does it's either in a wierd way #a cryptic way #or a sarcastic way

I love when House and Wilson are arguing in the middle of a big case, and the conversation goes like this:

House: You've been hiding something from me. And I've finally figured it out.

Wilson: I'm hiding lots of things from you.

House: I went through your place.. I couldn't believe what I discovered.

Wilson: Damn you weren't supposed to find out about the hole in my basement that I use for dumping bodies.

House: Yeah, well - *he freezes* Hole... hole... that's it! He's got parasitic worms up his ass!

*House rushes away, leaving Wilson sighing and thinking about how he should have hid his Beyoncé tickets better*

#He has epiphanies at the weirdest moments #Wilson must just have insane vibes #without him House wouldnt solve half the cases they get LMAO #house md #house #james wilson #greg house #gregory house #hilson #wilson #hate crimes md #hatecrimes md #housemd

there were no fereldan grey wardens in inquisition because they're too unhinged for this game. i mean they would absolutely ruin the narrative and the stakes. amaranthine squad is literally a dalish mage with a pure disgust for humans and especially their attempts to erase other cultures, a casteless member of the legion of the dead who used to work for carta, a drunkard who keeps finding himself in the weirdest situations possible and getting out of them almost without a scratch and a son of disgraced war criminal and all of them also happened to be buddies with a certain apostate and a spirit of justice. these guys don't give a shit about andraste's supposed herald and they already managed to kick one magister's ass or even reason with him. they would crack some kirkwall boom joke in front of the whole inquisition and then call corypheus a pretentious dumbass and nathaniel would bother to stop it only because he promised the commander they would behave and not cause problems if they left them on their own for a while

#bioware keeps getting away with this amaranthine guys erasure because they're too powerful. case solved #dragon age

the 2nd half of death note should've just gone full comedy complete with a laugh track and had these two dissing each other the whole time

#THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTIIIIIING #death note #light yagami #near #nate river #death note fanart #anime #manga #digital art #moonriver #tagging that too idc #elle draws #they'd never get shit done if they were trying to solve the kira case together #they'd be too busy talking shit about each other it'd be so funny #I just know seeing that kira finger puppet alone would have light's blood BOILING #guys remember in that deleted scene where kira kills a large portion of the SPK and near calls light just to give him the silent treatment #they're soooo fucking funny #you've heard of real lovers well how about real HATERS #imagine near untying light's shoelaces while he's sitting on the floor #I can imagine them doing the thing where you don't wanna talk to the other person so you say it to someone else asking them to relay it #even though the other person is literally Standing Right There like “gevanni please tell light that his idea will never work” #“you can tell me yourself near I'm literally right here” “and gevanni please also tell him that we're not paying for his lunch today” #I'll be here all day folks

[RHETORIC - Legendary 14]: Convince Kim you are in a timeloop.

(ISAT side of the swap)

#disco elysium #harry du bois #kim kitsuragi #ISAT #in stars and time #If you put HDB in a timeloop I truly think he would spend the his time trying to convince Kim he was in one. #The extra funny bit here is how counter it is to the *main plot of ISAT (*I HAVENT FINSHED. JUST STARTED ACT 4) #In which Siffrin is so strongly against letting anyone know they are trapped in a timeloop. #HDB would be doing everything in his power to try and get people to believe him. #and just like with the amnesia talk - Kim would pull the 'Detective we have a case to solve. Can we get back to work?' card. #How long would HDB last in a timeloop? If we make this loop the week that the case is...maybe a dozen loops? #He has the mystical detective angle on his side so I think he would stumble into the solution eventually. #Now. Odile could figure out someone is in a timeloop. I think It would take a *lot* for Kim to believe. #Anyways.

And they were roommates

After years of living on his own in the Infinite Realms, something strange began to happen to the retired hero. Every time Danny closed his eyes to sleep, a life that was not his own played in his head. And he began to see memories of someone who had passed away, from his birth to his death. That would be fine if he didn't remember the dreams in such detail.

Unfortunately when the first dream kept repeating itself continuously, and Danny investigated, he discovered that it was not a normal nightmare and was the life of someone real. Someone who wanted a closure.

Every time he woke up, he found himself feeling the same as in the dream. Which led him to do a couple of things: yell at Nocturne (who strangely had nothing to do with it), annoy Clockwork (who was definitely involved), and solve crimes that had been deemed "impossible", and bring them to an appropriate end.

The police were extremely confused when a note from "Sleepy King" was next to the evidence of a cold case. The truth is that Danny wanted to sleep, and the souls were extremely insistent about their 'unfinished business' that came to haunt him in his sleep.

Every time he cracked a case he earned a few hours of uninterrupted sleep or downright disturbing memories, but that wasn't enough. Unfortunately, it seemed that solving the cases was only attracting more souls, and he was starting to regret wanting to help. He had ended his life as a hero for a reason.

Usually his notes to the police would say something along the lines of "I'm doing this for me, not for you, good night" or some similar nonsense. The halfa was tired, very very tired, dreaming with memories wasn't fun or pretty, it was exhausting, the deaths made his skin crawl and his insomnia worse. He didn't want to relive the deaths of anyone else, but he had no way to scare away the souls.

When Martha Wayne showed up in his dreams showing him about a "court of owls" Danny made up his mind. This had to stop. He had been a hero but he retired. And it wasn't that he hated the souls, he just wanted to sleep, the mental exhaustion was too much.

So he did the stupidest thing possible: he hired Constantine (pretending to be a fairly normal human client, getting his attention after offering a lot of alcohol and some useless books from the Realms as payment) to make him a dream catcher or some wizard thing. All he wanted was something to help him sleep.

Constantine couldn't do that of course. The hellbazer was disturbed by the man with more than three hundred avenging spirits swarming. That was fucked up. So he offered him the only solution he could think of: inviting him to sleep at his house. A place where spirits could not pass without permission. It wasn't a permanent fix, but it would work for a while.

John had no idea why he was doing so much for a client (inviting him to his house? bold move), but the man looked so desperate, and he was fucking cute. If he could get an adventure or two out of it he wouldn't complain.

Constantine's guest bed felt like heaven to the halfa, despite being almost destroyed. Danny repeatedly thanked, and before they both knew it: they were roomies, lived in the same place, took turns cooking or cleaning, etc. They grew comfortable with each other to the point that Danny answered Justice League Dark's calls on a few occasions.

And well, if Constantine stopped rushing to find a long-term solution that was his business, and his alone, okay? Zatanna's comment asking when he got married was fucking out of place.

#dpxdc #Danny is an adult here #he lived in the Realms #until the souls started to stalk him in dreams #Nocturne offered to help but Danny refused #Clockwork is playing matchmaker and is obvious #Retired hero Danny #The souls wanted revenge #and Danny solved many cases but #he didn't want to live to please others any longer #maybe is selfish but he never asked to be a hero in the first place #dp x dc #dc x dp #Justice League Dark is pretty sure they are married #Constantine is not flirting and that's suspicious #Danny ended investigating the court of owls and Batman had him on sight #Constantine thinks he's just a handsome man #But even if Danny tell him about his ghost part Constantine would think he's sexy #and they were roommates #Asking for Constantine's help is like a sin in the realms but Danny is desperate and the hellbazer deal with curses daily #he was sure John could help somehow #Danny stopped Constantine from being a soulhoe and protected him without John noticing

im almost kind of glad we have pretty much no information on whatever phoenix and edgeworth were up to re: solving cases together abroad in the 7yg because it lets me imagine whatever funny shit i want to. such as international prosecutor of acclaim miles edgeworth getting a real stinker of a case in like Luxembourg or something and having to talk to whatever team he's working with like. okay. let me get my guy on this. he calls in some dude with visible shaving cuts and a suit that absolutely does not properly fit him and is singed and/or torn and/or stained in several places. id like to introduce you all to mr phoenix wright. 'are you a detective' no 'another lawyer?' no they disbarred me i'm just here consulting. 'on what' the case.

he spends 12 straight hours being verbally harassed by every involved witness. accidentally almost walks into oncoming traffic several time forgetting which way the cars go. keeps saying incredibly cryptic and/or blatantly wrong things and then immediately walking them back. suggests the worst possible motive and execution of a murder you've ever heard in your life. and it's correct. case solved. okay bye. its the only person edgeworth has ever referred to as a friend in public.

#ace attorney #i dont think 7yg phoenix is any cooler or suaver at solving cases than trilogy phoenix #i think he sucks exactly as much but with an air of intrigue and an inescapable miasma of ennui on top of it
