ch 2 danny makes me chuckle a lil cause its like. the idea gets brought up, he kinda laughs it off, rolls it off his shoulders kinda deal cause he doesnt think theyre being serious whatsoever.

and then when he realizes they are being serious and he gets annoyed with them and starts telling them how much of a bad idea it is.

and yet when he realizes thats not changing their minds, he starts packing a bag for the trip while still calling them fools for even thinking of it but god fucking dammit he's not letting them all go down there by themselves without him-

WHAT'S YOUR CHARACTER ARC?

danny - tragic hero arc

we all know how this story goes. when it began, you were almost the perfect hero, but almost is never enough. you lacked introspection, or you were too stubborn or vengeful or reckless - as reckless as the world that helped to ruin you. you were not perfect, and that's okay. we knew the story ended in blood and we watched it anyway. we knew you would die in the end and we still couldn't help but love you, just a little bit. at the very least, you are more human than a hero could ever be.

ana - hero arc

well done - you did things right. this may seem like a boring answer, but i promise it isn't. you believe in goodness and you believe in doing good, and through everything, you work to keep that goodness. you have seen so much blood, and your instinct is always to stitch. you grew and fought and won, and i'm glad you did, because someone had to. i'm glad you kept believing in the world you were trying to save. you are far braver than most could ever be.

maria - corruption arc

so. you got worse. and i'm not entirely sure i can blame you for it. maybe it was in you all along, hidden and waiting, or maybe someone planted it in you and watched it grow. either way, it's there now and you hold it in your fist like a second heart - this blood, this hunger, this thrill of having teeth and using them. perhaps you are right to. you are a mirror for the hardness of the world, and a mirror that we could all stand to look in more often. it's hard to watch the bleeding bring about more blood, but it is undeniable that you are very good at wounding.

What kind of warmth are you?

MARIA.

sun shining on your face

you're encouraging, brave in your kindness, and intentional about bringing healing to all those you love. your warmth is obvious, but commonly misunderstood. at first glance, people may take your positivity as naivety; it is the opposite. you have seen the cruelty of this world, and that's why you choose to be recklessly warm. you find comfort in nature and love random acts of kindness. you probably remember one specific stranger really well, even though you never saw them again. but they gave you a bit of warmth that you carry with you everywhere you go. i hope you know you are that stranger for others. the kindness you give out is helping others be kind in ways you may never see. i see you, and i'm proud of you. i hope you're proud of yourself too.

DANNY & ANA.

soup on a cold day

you're caring, consistent in your kindness, and quiet in your compassion for others. you offer warmth because you were cold for a very long time. and you refuse to stand by while others suffer in the same way. your kindness is not reckless. you count the costs, but you offer it anyway. you have a unique ability at reading people, and knowing when they have a pain that they are trying to cover up. your love language is probably quality time, and you're usually more of a listener in conversations. you probably find yourself taking on a caretaker role with others, almost automatically. so when people try to do the same for you, please don't flinch away. please don't withdraw into what feels like safety. there are people who are waiting to love you in the same way you have loved them. please let them.

eyes flip open, bloodshot af,

listen so like. how i write danny, how i aim to write his ass, is very hey i grew up in a turbulent home life and for a time in my early to mid teens i was constantly getting into trouble, mixed with the wrong crowd besides my friendship with maria, ive been briefly in juvie-like facilities, all that shit.

hes dealt with having a shit ton of fighting - no bars held, no rules, no morals attached to them. simply do what you need to to be able to walk away from it alive at times. i like to think of his fight style being very.... j.oel / t.ommy / ellie t.lou style, very opportunistic and resourceful, very ill make use of any and every single thing around me to make sure i get your ass on the ground and you dont get back up - whether thats grabbing an object to use, or cracking your face into it til youre unrecognizable.

its worse when i think of the verses where marias either obvs dead or seriously hurt by the time the friend group finds her, because all danny's seeing is fucking red from that point on.

me nodding at all this, at knowing how quick dannys switch is to go from protecting the friends to i will kill for you if need be,

me internally Suffering as i note this, him being aggressive in fights when writing fights is the bane of my existence as a writer- YDVDUVDUV

i pass right tf back out-

[meatriarchived]

me crawling back to my computer to type this up faster but

i feel danny's the oldest out of the friend group?? and hes not a student with them at the uni but he IS currently in like a trade school of sorts ( maybe for something like welding, working in shipyards / underwater? that way him and julie have more of a reason live by the ocean c; )

but he definitely feels like he has to be steady and strong for them all, he looks after each of them and cares for and loves them so deeply.

like i feel when maria went missing / the search was called off and they finally got in touch with him to give him that update, he literally got his shit together and immediately left to join them in trying to find her he was so fucking LIVID that investigators just. gave up???? like uh no? no thats my fucking childhood friend get off your fucking asses????

my danny's got so much rage in him from it all man....

[meatriarchived]

danny keeping his back strong af so he can carry literally the entire friendgroup on his back ( me on p.interest getting dozens of imgs with friends piling on a single persons back and im like Yeah Thats Him )

danny, if we think of what breed of dog he's like, i'd say probably a caucasian shepherd - russian bear dog. massive and bred to fight and kill wolves & bears (coughsthomascoughs).

how he's an absolute gentle giant with his friends. completely pudding and mush with them all, loves and adores them and is always there for them when they call, no matter how late, no matter how long since the last time he's seen or heard from them.

and that fierce loyalty and love translating to him literally willing to do anything necessary to protect them and keep them alive. even if that means getting violent. even if that means getting blood on his hands. he'd allow his own conscience to be plagued by guilt by harming or killing another before even considering allowing any of them to feel they have to.

and that being said, for when im referring to both my portrayals of danny & maria: they have known each other the longest out of the friend group. she was his rock during some very turbulent years, and he was hers when the flores' father took off on them. that dynamic ofc alters with other portrayals of them both c: but they are VERY close and he is VERY protective of her.

[meatriarchived]

me as i eat two jumbo pretzels for my dinner:

dannys #1 sign of affection is when he goes to hug someone.

if its a regular ol' hug, one armed both whatever, then ya'll are alright. good to decent terms.

if he literally picks you up on the ground to hug you, he loves you.

well speaking of dog symbolism and isle of dogs, a p.interest quote that both hits dannys general views but also sums up dire danny / his choke chained dire au 🥰
