Haunted car au, pt 6

The next part is fighting me a bit, so I will just post this one for now.

Previous

Duke reeeaalllyyy does not get paid enough for this.

Good news, he was able to get the names of the dealers and suppliers and also narrowed down the places of interest to three warehouses. All he had to do was drop that info onto the server for the night crew, and that was that, not his problem anymore.

Bad news, the car is becoming his problem.

When Duke entered the cave, he could see the wheels turning, and not in a sick burnout way Jason does anytime he gets behind the wheel, they were just turning left and right. Then to add more insult to Duke's attempt at ignoring it, the car opened its driver door in what may have been a mockery of a greeting. Honestly, Duke could have also ignored that but then it seemed to fucking Panic and set off its own alarms and proceed to flail all the doors open and reverse to the point that the back wheels made it off the platform and into the gutter that runs though the cave. If Duke was a betting man, and he was, he would bet that whatever possessed or replaced the Batmobile was so incompetent that he had to worry more about Its safety from the Batfam. Whether that was protection from arrest or adoption is still up in the air.

Either way, this is becoming Duke's problem. He is really not paid enough for this. Time to calm down a sentient car.

“Hey, car buddy? You ok?”

Duke wasn't sure what he was expecting when he was talking to a car of all things, but absolute silence wasn’t it. Was this thing going to try to play car now? After everything that just happened? Duke slowly walked up to the driver's side door and looked in for the green blob person, only to see them in the back seat sprawled out. Duke tried to not think too hard while putting the car back in its spot, but the list of facts he has so far kept ticking.

1. The Batmobile has a new passenger or has been replaced

2. The thing/person is not good at hiding, so probably not a villain plot

2a. If it is a villain plot, they got the absolutely wrong person to do it

2aa. Possible meta forced to spy?

3. The person just freaked out so hard they fainted after setting off the Batmobile alarms.

4. Alfred will know what to do right?

5. Try to communicate again with the person in the car.

It didn't take long for the blur on the backseat to shift again. Luckily they didn't immediately jump into the driver's seat, where Duke still sat. Duke turned to look in the backseat, time to start this interrogation.

“Hey, you ok?” Duke was happy that he was able to see the head nod that the fuzzy blur gave.

“That's good. Now, I can't see you too well, but we can work out some basic questions, alright?” Another head nod answered him.

"Are you in danger? Like, did someone force you to do this?” The head shake that was produced shook the car. Duke internally sighed in relief, not a villain plot or meta trafficking gone wrong.

“So this was just an accident, and I am guessing you are now stuck?” Duke knew he was not as good at body language reading as the others, but the wave of embarrassment and resignation this blob was giving off confirmed that whoever/whatever this is, was not a total threat.

Next?

I'm feeling kinda guilty... I love your blog, I'm glad I'm searching for information and I care about good representation (of any kind of minority). But, at the same time, I absolutely love The Phantom of the Opera. I'm in love with this story, I love Erik, and actually he was the character that opened my eyes about people with facial differences when I was a litte kid. And I want to make an adaptation of POTO myself. And to make it, obviously, Erik is a tragic, traumatized person with violent tendencies and that wears a mask, and because of his trauma, he hates his own body... I want to give him a happy ending, a chance to heal, and genuine sympathy for his mental state rather than a lot of versions (and even the fandom itself) does. Is there any non offensive way of depicting this? Because, although Leroux intented Erik to be a sympathetic "villain/anti-villain", the story is outdated (1910!) and a lot of Erik's "villainy" is pretty forced. Help me pleeeease😭

Hey,

so, in discussions of disfiguremisia and offensive media portrayals of facial differences, Phantom is like the gold standard when it comes to comparisons.

"How bad was it?" "Phantom-of-The-Opera-bad." "Oh OK."

It's kinda what you just mention when you want to say that something sucks, since Phantom has basically no redeemable features when it comes to depicting disabled people. It's the OG disfiguremisia in media since it's both old and really popular.

I don't really think Phantom is fixable. Don't get me wrong, there are some versions of it that I have genuinely liked, but ultimately, it's a flawed story from the concept. You can make it better, but I don't think you can make it good.

So, how to make it better;

give him an actual, specified facial difference and research how it works,

make him explicitly a human being,

get rid of that stupid ass mask,

get rid of that stupid ass scary disability reveal,

tone down on the freakshow backstory,

IDK you can maybe make him live in the Opera because he's phrogging/squatting it because he's experiencing ableism when it comes to employment and is therefore homeless if you want to keep that part since it's kinda important,

at least imply that he has known other people before who weren't comically evil towards him for being visibly disabled,

don't make him a murderer,

like, make him less evil. I don't know.

I don't see any other way of making Phantom better rather than fundamentally changing major parts of it. It's fundamentally ableist, what can you do.

You need to be aware that you're an outsider (I presume so, at least, apologies if I'm wrong) trying to fix a story that is based on being disfiguremisic. Would you be comfortable trying to "save" a story that was biased against a different minority? Because it's not really a matter of "finally fixing POTO", it's extremely popular*. It's something you're doing for yourself, and, presumably, for people with facial differences. You need to be aware of what you're getting into and if you're actually willing to do that. If you aren't then that's fine, there's 1000 adaptations out there already.

*- that is to say, one more less ableist or more ableist retelling changes nothing in terms of the Phantom's impact, that much has been done. You can just adapt it.

Followers with facial differences are welcome to give their suggestions.

Ghost King & Master of Death

A meta-commentary on Danny and Harry. Think of the parallels, the potential!

(Slaps car, "you can fit so much fanon into these bad boys!")

So without further ado, let's get started.

Green eyes: green like ectoplasm, green like the killing curse

Death didn't stick: Harry is the boy-who-lived. Danny is the boy-who-died.

Death-scars: Danny is often written as having Lichtenberg scarring from the accident that killed him. Harry is famous for his lightning bolt scar, received from the killing curse.

Power thrust upon them: Danny defeated Pariah Dark to save his town. Harry collected the hallows by accident/Dumbledore to defeat Voldie. Neither wanted their titles.

Eldritch entity: MOD and GK are portrayed in fandom as beings beyond time. They are not bound to one universe. Death is all-encompassing, it reaches ever corner of the multiverse that contains life. Thus, so do they.

Eternal teenagers: Depending on the depiction, there's a lot of takes where Danny and Harry stopped aging due to their titles/species.

Tired and timeless: AKA Overpowered and overworked. There's a lot of bullshit that goes on behind the metaphysical veil apparently. Being a god-like being isn't easy. There's paperwork and shit. Being immortal sucks.

Vacation AU: What do said immortals do when they need a break? Run away to a random universe for a new start. Hey, maybe here they can finally live a normal peaceful life, right? RIGHT? (It would be a pretty boring crossover if that happened, so sorry Danny/Harry. You're getting a love-interest at the very least.)

Antagonists obsessed with their moms: Vlad and Snape

(ok, that last one was added as a joke, but im not wrong)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So. Where does that leave our deathly boys? What paths can this lead? So many.

Just two Death Gods chillin' in your dimension: Danny and Harry are work colleges, just two dudes, two pals. Every century or so they pick a universe to dip in to live and relax a little. They're just a couple a eldritch tourists, no need for the locals to get so freaked out, honest.

Summons unclear: Maybe there's some mixup over which universes fall into who's jurisdiction. So when a cult tries to summon a death god they get two. And then Danny and Harry immediately start bickering and bitching. "No, I very clearly stated that this realm was/wasn't my problem!"

Alternates: They could be alternate versions of each other. Does something go wrong with the multiverse? The balance of life and death? Maybe they take each other's places or end up body-swapped. Or they could be reincarnated versions of each other and something unlocks memories of their previous life.

Godly matchmaking: Death and Time see their protégées suffering alone and set them up to support each other. Partners through the pain of eternal responsibility. Could just be platonic.

Soulmate AU: Matching death scars are morbidly romantic, right? Or it could be a write on your skin situation, where they write to each other and only meet once they've ascended. And it comes with the bittersweet knowledge that while they were destined to be together, but they were also destined for greatness born from suffering.
