whats ur fucking deal

[starry-bi-sky]

i have... ✨Danyal Al Ghul Headcanons✨ but specifically for my yaelokre danyal oneshot

There's also the tumblr post here but I recommend the link in the title because its the ao3 version, and that one is edited and has some stuff in it that's not in the tumblr post, and will be the version I'm using.

So for summary: this Danyal is also from a Demon Siblings Au where Danny is five years older than Damian. However, things turned out a bit differently, and Danny and Damian had a fantastic relationship with one another. Danny loved music and regularly came up with songs to sing to Damian with. Specifically the folk band Yaelokre's EP "Hayfields" (seriously go fucking listen to it its sooo good. Harpy Hare is the second song but its my favorite. Special shoutout to @gascansposts for introducing the band to me)

He falls off a train when he's twelve and Damian is seven while the two of them and Talia are on mission. He ends up with magically induced amnesia and wakes up in Arkansas while the Fentons are on their yearly Divorce-iversary visit to Aunt Alica, and since he can only remember his name, he ends up being taken into their care.

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

Yaelokre Danny has the same facial scar as Things in Threes Danyal, since he was initially another version of him where things turned out better. I'm debating on whether or not I should take it away however, and give him a different scar (maybe from when he fell off the train?), just because the scar is a pretty key identifier for Ti3 Danyal.

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

Danny frequently visits Aunt Alicia in Arkansas! Well, only after he gets settled in and stuff. He doesn't really like the city that much and prefers the countryside where Alicia lives. I know she lives in a cabin but I'm changing it to a farm, so she puts Danny to work and gets him to help her.

I don't want to confine his hobbies to only being star stuff, because people tend to have more than one hobby and I feel like it reduces him to one-dimensionality, so he likes to garden, and learns guitar. His room becomes filled with plants, and he turns their roof into a rooftop greenhouse right below to OPS Center.

He has a complex relationship with the weapons from his past, but he's not... like... appalled by it? When he finds his weapons in the Fenton attic all he thinks is that they're his weapons, and he starts carrying a knife on him afterwards. Essentially he becomes fascinated with weaponry because its one of the few physical ties he has to his past, and while he's not training like he is in the League, he allows his strong muscle memory to guide him through his katas.

Danny likes climbing things. This causes Problems For Everyone Else.

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

Danny was not the "kinder Al Ghul" in the League. His kindness extended to his brother and family, and that's it. To everyone else he had high expectations out of them, and the pride you'd expect from the grandson of Ra's Al Ghul and trained by its top members. While he wasn't like, unnecessarily cruel or anything, he wasn't merciful either.

This transfers post-train fall as him coming off as no-nonsense and unforgiving. He's not fond of the idea of giving people second chances, and is skeptical of the idea. He's disgusted by incompetency and views it as an unforgivable offense, especially if he thinks that the person should know better, although he's not sure why. Some egocentrism for the soul.

He doesn't like being touched by anyone who isn't family, and gets irritated when anyone grabs him or holds onto him for extended amounts of time. Dash has gotten hit so many times. With Jack Fenton's tendency for abrupt physical affection, it doesn't make it any better. I'd argue it'd make it worse because Danny doesn't want to be touched more often than not.

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

Danyal had a red scarf in the League that he wore on his last mission, it came off before he fell off and caught itself on the roof. Damian still has it and took it with him to Wayne Manor. He's got it locked in his room and takes it out when he's alone and missing Danny the most. One time he forgot to put it away before leaving his room, and Dick was visiting the manor for something and found it. Damian found him holding it and freaked out.

Dick could only say "I've never seen you wear this, Damian, this is really pretty--" before Damian shoved him to the floor and stole it out of his hands, before screaming at him; "Don't touch this! You don't ever touch this! This is mine! You hear me!?"

It caused such a commotion that the rest of the family present came to see what the fuss was about, and Damian kicked them all out of his room. Dick is the one brother Damian's the closest with, so the fact he reacted so strongly shocked them all.

This is likely what leads to the "Danyal" conversation.

If you haven’t watched it yet y’all should definitely watch this video by Drew Gooden that I think does a pretty good job summing you how a lot of people (myself included) feel about a lot of newer Star Wars content

me, picking up an amazing game and having the time of my life playing it: oh boy, can't wait to see all the cool fanart and stuff!

me later, having once again picked an amazing game with the tiniest fandom in existence: ah, I see. we make our own food here.

Thank you for not having a bunch of violence and rapeplay on this blog. It's so scary how often I follow someone only to find them posting about how they're being abused and it's awesome

i'm happy it works for you! i know well the difficulty of finding blogs that don't hit my squicks or triggers, esp on tumblr when the extreme is often the norm.

that being said, i do wanna gently remind that tumblr kink blogs are posting extremely curated versions of those people's lives; they might post about a Scary Act but not about the long and intense meta conversation that preceded it or the check-in during it or the aftercare and debrief that followed. there are obviously people who are abused in the context of kink and people who use kink as a tool of self-harm, but i don't think that's true of most people, even the ones who post extreme stuff

[anti-judy]

This is basically a link dump in context for this -> post , but I'm organizing the links and adding more that I've found. This is specifically for Jouno and Tecchou, since there isn't a lot out there on them and they both are kinda my bsd favs lol.

For context -> either i've found their actual writings, journals/articles that translate their writings, or academic stuff that gives context to it that we don't have because nothing is translated from the original Japanese

-> plum blossoms in the snow, it's in Japanese though but it's the best I've found so far. If anyone has a translation, hmu

-> Shunshoku Edomurasaki, a story Jouno wrote. it's in Japanese but it's at least google translatable. this one I believe was a hit with the young female audience, but that's all I know

-> This journal is very long but it explains a lot about Japanese political novels and Tecchou's novels are talked about in context of the time. we have no English translations of them, so this has been a nice resource. there are snippets of his novels that are translated in here

-> japanese to english dictionary that Jouno wrote. it's an article from Princeton, but it explains a lot about the transition authors were going through at the time as well

-> article that goes in-depth about one of Tecchou's novels, his political beliefs, and his relationship with Joze Rizal, who he travelled with for a few months when he traveled abroad

-> collection of prints from Tokyo nichinichi shinbun, which Jouno founded and wrote for. The ones with the name 'Sansantei Arindo' or 'Arindo' are his. They do feature partial/full translations.

-> This text talks in depth about Tecchou's and Joze Rizal's encounter. Also about the politics of the time. It's probably not the most interesting stuff if anyone isn't interested in Filipino-Japanese relations, but it has several translated passages from his works.

I will probably keep adding to this post, but if you wanted knowledge about the IRL authors for context about the characters, then this is what I've found that hasn't been two-sentence Wikipedia articles.

I'm hoping to find any knowledge on how any of the hunting dogs reacted to the Boshin War, since all of them besides Teruko were old enough to have lived through it and it was a pretty significant event for the era. So if anyone has stuff on that or anything more, literally feel free to add on

sometimes i'd get so caught up in the meta and different interpretations of the yakuza yaoi and then randomly remember that the premise is "here's an impotent guy and the other guy is really into giving him blowjobs" and just sit here. yeah.
