So we all know the typical “Danny and Damian are the demon twins” with Danny dying/running away from the League and ending up with the Fentons. How about a little twist?

Danny has been enjoying his life as simply “Danny Fenton, the screwup of Casper High” instead of “Danyal Al Ghul.” Then the GIW start getting much more threatening. So far they haven’t managed to capture any ghosts more complicated/sentient than a blob ghost/ectopus, but their terrible aim and general lack of care for the safety of bystanders has led to a couple of civilian deaths. He only finds out about this when someone mentions that the death of (insert throwaway character here) is the tenth death caused by the GIW.

This cannot stand.

Danny decides the best way to protect Amity Park and ghosts in the realms is to fall back on his League training. The first time he tries to resurrect Danyal, they almost catch him when he goes to get rid of some of the members, and Danny has to think of a new strategy. Insert the Fenton Dreamcatcher thing (I forgot the name, the separation device), and now he’s undetectable. He sticks his ghost half in a thermos to prevent anyone from getting their hands on it, and proceeds to take down important members of the GIW.

After all, they expect attacks from ghosts, they do not expect a very human assassin. Danny keeps track of who he should target next in a little black book he stores in his chest when not in use. All the writing is in Arabic, so anyone who could get their hands on it would struggle to read it, especially if it’s a cipher only used by the League.

Danny, of course, does not tell anyone about this. He’s doing this as Danyal, not Danny, and as such, does not see any reason to let anyone know. Why should they? After all, Danny is the person who couldn’t kill a fly, let alone a human. He’s safe from suspicion, and he never lets anyone know otherwise.

______________________

Aka let him go Feral to protect those he loves. He was born and raised an assassin, no matter how much time has passed between the League and his adoption with the Fentons, he still has a kill count that is very high. And now he has more targets, and satisfies his obsession (protection) in a way that cannot be even remotely traced back to him.

K-pop Discography Deep Dives: Dreamcatcher (Part ONE)

A Disclaimer: I was planning, when I first started Tumblr, to be a lurker, but then I began an office job and needed something to listen to to keep myself occupied. And then, I started going through entire K-pop groups’ repertoires, album by album, and jotting down my thoughts. And then, I stumbled into K-pop tumblr and decided, you know what, there’s at least four people on this hell site who would read in depth rants about these discographies and at least five who wouldn’t read it and then get mad because it’s kind of our job as K-pop fans. My lukewarm takes should be taken with an entire silo of salt and the knowledge that this is completely for fun and occupying my very bored, very neurodivergent brain. All this to say, for the love of god, I’m a sleep-deprived student and I don’t have time for internet hate, so don’t kill me. With that being said, enjoy!

Here are my credentials: I’m a HUGE fan of Dreamcatcher, and have been an Insomnia since mid-2021 or so, just after the release of BEcause. They were actually the first concert I’ve ever been to, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience for that. They totally gave their all for those two hours and I ended up loving them even more afterward. I’m even considering going again if they have another tour.

Dreamcatcher debuted in early 2017, so they’re nearing their 7th anniversary (breaking K-pop’s infamous curse), with 7 members: JiU, SuA, Yoohyeon, Gahyeon, Handong, Dami, and Siyeon. Handong was not involved in their 2020 comebacks due to being in her home country of China when COVID broke out, but she’s since returned. They have very complicated storylines which I won’t be going too deeply into here besides when I think a specific song’s meaning in context is important to mention.

Their first single was Chase Me, which starts with a deceptively lovely piano and very typical for-late-3rd-gen-vocals. I was surprised by how k-poppy the song sounded, at least in its early stages and verses, but this was their debut after all. A lot of their early work is slowly stepping out of k-pop convention, one step at a time, although a sound all their own wouldn’t come for a couple songs. Any worries I had were assuaged by such a strong chorus, especially the combination of the bridge just before the last one.

Good Night immediately stands out from the often overly-bubbly, aegyo-filled 2017 k-pop landscape with its creepy ticking clock, marionette-like dance moves and an almost violent electric guitar riff. This time the guitar continues through the whole song, so there’s no fear of it sounding same-y. I’ll probably say this many times in this review, but I just can’t get over how well-suited DC’s vocals are to this rock sound, which isn’t always the case for other groups I’ve seen with a rock concept. The distorted voices in the bridge are a nice touch too. The b-side Lullaby is actually quite lovely, and is a good showcase for their voices in a more soothing context.

Fly High is a poppier sound for Dreamcatcher, although still with more of a rock base than is usual in k-pop, which does make sense as it’s supposed to be a prequel to their much darker storyline. I’ve heard it described before as a bit like an anime theme song, and I’d have to agree, especially the “I can make it!” combined with the strings, lighter electric guitar, and super high power note. Even with a bit of a sound change, Dreamcatcher never slows down their energy, which is something I really appreciate. They always sound like they wholeheartedly believe what they’re selling.

From the EP, Prequel, there are a few great b-sides I could choose (like the off-beat Sleep-walking), but I’m gonna have to say that Wake Up is my favorite. I’m totally biased, but I’ll just never forget the experience of watching them have the absolute best time performing this live for their encore and jumping into the stratosphere while waving a pride flag back and forth. It’s an anthem that needs an audience, first and foremost, and there’s really nothing more exciting than screaming “Wake up, wake up!” at the top of your lungs.

Full Moon is a special single for their first anniversary, and I won’t spend too much time on it, but I really like how it combines that anime-esque energy from Fly High, a harsher electric guitar, EDM, and some ballad elements. It’s a style that DC returns to later in their career, and it’s fun to see a slightly less complicated version here. I never gave this song much of a chance before so I’m glad I did now.

You & I is next in the “Nightmare” saga, and is probably both the most popular of that arc and the most similar to a lot of mainstream k-pop (which I do like, I want to be clear about that. This is not an attack on mainstream k-pop, guys, I run a blog about it.). Maybe it’s a product of that, but in such a strong catalogue it doesn’t really stand out to me. All of DC’s songs add other elements to their rock sound like EDM, pop, metal, or even a flute (we’ll get to that), but You & I is pretty straightforward, as are its lyrics. The chorus and the opening hook are both pretty good, I will admit, and always get me at least nodding to the song. Again, I in no way even dislike this one, and I’m not going to skip it if I’m doing a re-listen or if it comes up on shuffle, but I just never find myself going out of my way to listen to it.

Though the title isn’t my favorite, I quite like the EP Escape The Era. Which a Star may be an average b-side but it's really elevated by their voices and its twinkling instrumentation, while Scar takes some lovely strings and some crushing electric guitars and somehow turns itself from a rock song into a ballad and right back again. Mayday, meanwhile, is much like Wake Up with its anthemic answer, and immediately gets me headbanging to its hook.

WHAT starts with a tense energy right out of the gate with those strings, and in what may be DC’s best first 20 seconds of a song, it culminates in an excellent electric guitar riff that would feel right at home in a BabyMetal song. When the song returns to “normal” after, it only adds to the sense of “wrong” and foreboding…until the chorus smashes through a brick wall with perfect metal anthem energy. In case it wasn’t clear, I love this song and it’s tied for my favorite. You just can’t do much better than a song encouraging people to wake up, fight their nightmares, and live another day, which is one of my personal favorite song subjects.

In a switch from Escape The Era, I love What but Alone In The City is one of my least-favorite of their albums. That being said, I do like the contrast between acoustic and electric guitars in Trap, and its build up is pretty great. But I usually have more than one liked b-side.

Over The Sky is another special single and returns to the softer, more string and pop-rock led base (or “anime theme”, I suppose). It feels much happier than a lot of Dreamcatcher’s singles, and is a nice break in between their very heavy discography. I especially like the twinkling quality of its background piano.

PIRI is the end of their nightmare saga, and is a continuation of the defiance seen in What. It’s named after a traditional Korean flute that the song uses to say “sound the alarm (piri), emergency, emergency.” This is the first time rap is incorporated in its own (albeit short) verse, and I think the combination works quite well. The inclusion of the flute in the background is something I’ve never heard in a song before, but its shrillness provides a good contrast to the very low guitar and drums and Dreamcatcher’s voices sitting in the middle, perfectly capturing the song’s whole idea of being stuck in between light and dark. Overall, a fitting finale.

From PIRI’s EP The End Of Nightmares, while I do really like the sweetness of the ballad Daydream, Diamond was an easy choice for me. It has quite a minimalistic chorus, which normally I’m not the biggest fan of (for evidence, look at any review I’ve ever written to hear me decry the existence of anti-drops), but here it’s to let the great guitar hook and electronic background have some time to be appreciated and its fuller pre and post-choruses make up for it.

Deja Vu is a special single made for a game collaboration, so perhaps one would assume it to be a usual ballad or easily-overlooked piece of a great discography. One would assume very, very wrong. I assumed this, when I heard the first, very slow verse and the backing piano. Deja Vu definitely leans more into melancholy than most of their singles, but it's really at the end of the pre-chorus where the band comes in and DC goes full-on rock ballad that it begins to sound like them.The song is a slow burn, definitely, but the incredible catharsis at the end is totally worth it. Just go watch the music video itself, which is full of delightful drama and betrayal, and can best be described as “Macbeth, if it was gay, Korean, and magical.” You’re welcome.

Raid Of Dream, the EP, was also produced for the game, but the mix of metal clashing and delicate vocals in Silent Night, the backing piano for the full-on ballad Polaris, and the return of the anime theme (plus guitar solo!!) in the call-to-action that is Curse Of The Spider render it quite a strong album in their greater discography.

I don’t normally dive too deeply into Japanese releases, but, like with Taemin, Dreamcatcher’s offer an interesting expansion on their work. Endless Night starts with much harsher rock than most of their singles, while Breaking Out features a surprisingly chill tropical beat, and No More goes full now-or-never nu metal with guitar riffs that would make Babymetal proud.

R. o. S. E. BLUE is another special single produced for a game, and does lead into the more ballady side of k-pop soundtrack songs, but without sacrificing Dreamcatcher’s rock edges. It, like Deja Vu, is a slow burn that doesn’t seem to have much energy at first, but builds up to it through its great pre-choruses. It’s definitely not as good as Deja Vu (few things are), but does remind me of later-stage Gfriend’s more dramatic and celestial sound, and the music video follows JiU attempting to rescue her friends from the magical prison their minds are trapped in, at the expense of herself.

So that’s where we’ll end it for now, being around halfway through. I mentioned last time in my TXT review that this was supposed to be a one-parter and became two, but the second one is basically done and will be coming out in a few days (after I listen to the new album), not a week from now, and I won’t be doing supplementals. Apologies to the five people who actually read those, lol. So, I’ll see you next time for Part Two. Tschüss!

TPS Part 2: Planes And Cabins

"Awright Toby, time ta go. We got a plane ta catch."

"Ok Pop."

Ah come flyin down ta Pop's car after usin the bathroom.

"So why's we gotta get ta the airport so fast, Pop?"

"Cause we's gotta go thru securty. Airport fellers wanna make sure nobody's bringin somethin dangerous on the plane."

"Ok."

Ah ain’t never been on a plane but Ah ain't scared. Ah think ridin a plane's gonna be fun.

Time Skip

We get ta the airport an Pop parks the car. Ah'm real confused on how it's gonna work.

"Pop why'd we take the car if we ain't takin the car wit us?"

"Yer cousin Wilma's jus down the street from the airport. She's gonna be pickin it up an takin care of it while we're gone. Ah ain't gonna go buyin another car if we ever come back here."

"Ohhh. Ah like Wilma. She made me that real nice dreamcatcher. Ya brought it wit didn't ya Pop?"

“Course Ah did, son. Ah also made sure ta bring yer headphones an yer favorite cassette tape. Once we done get on the plane jus put ‘em on an listen ta yer music.”

Ah smile at Pop cause Ah’m glad he makes sure Ah don’t melt. Ah like mah cassette tape. Pop done made it himself cause he know it don’t make mah ears hurt.

“How long’s it gonna take ta get ta Ireland, Pop?”

“Well Toby, we’s gonna be flyin over the ocean. Probly gonna take a day ta get there. If yer tired, go on an nap. Nobody done spects ya to stay wake fer the whole plane ride. If yer hungry we can also get somethin'. Ah know it ain’t gonna be jus how ya like it, but tha’s cause we’s gonna be high up. Nothin’s gonna taste the same.”

Ah nod slowly. Pop’s usually right bout stuff like this. Ah hope the plane people’ll gimme food that don’t make me cry cause it makes mah mouth hurt somethin fierce.

"Now ya wait here while Ah go an call Wilma so's she can start makin 'er way here."

"Ok Pop."

Ah sit still in mah seat. Even though it's loud it ain't all that crowded. Ah don't feel like meltin so Ah think we's gonna be fine.

Time Skip

“Well that there’s our call ta fly. Security people says we can go on the plane wit yer headphones an cassette player now.”

Ah follow Pop through this long hallway. Ah dunno how this happened but we went from the airport ta the inside of a plane. Ah sit down in a window seat. People sure look small in a plane compared ta when yer flat on the ground.

“Awright son le’s listen ta the nice woman. She’s gonna tell us how ta keep safe.”

Ah try ta listen real close ta the woman in a fancy plane outfit. Ah make sure mah seatbelt’s on like she done tol me.

“Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the crew I ask that you please direct your attention to the monitors above as we review the emergency procedures. There are six emergency exits on this aircraft. Take a minute to locate the exit closest to you. Note that the nearest exit may be behind you. Count the number of rows to this exit. Should the cabin experience sudden pressure loss, stay calm and listen for instructions from the cabin crew. Oxygen masks will drop down from above your seat. Place the mask over your mouth and nose, like this. Pull the strap to tighten it. If you are traveling with children, make sure that your own mask is on first before helping your children. In the unlikely event of an emergency landing and evacuation, leave your carry-on items behind. Life rafts are located below your seats and emergency lighting will lead you to your closest exit and slide. We ask that you make sure that all carry-on luggage is stowed away safely during the flight. While we wait for take off, please take a moment to review the safety data card in the seat pocket in front of you.”

Mah eyes get all foggy. Ah know Ah oughta be payin attention but Ah jus can’t understand everythang she’s sayin. Ah sure hope Pop’ll understand it all an help me when she’s done.

“Toby jus look at yer card fer help. All ya gotta do's follow that an see what Ah’m doin. We only gotta do all this case there’s an emergency.”

“Oh. Ah get it now. Thanks Pop!”

Ah take the little card in front a me. Readin this makes way more sense ta me. They got pictures an everythang ta make sure boys like me get it.

“Ok Pop. Ah'll be sure ta keep mah music off till we’re high in the air.”

“Atta boy, son. Gotta make sure ta follow the rules so’s we keep safe. Can’t be panickin cause we don’t know what ta do.”

Ah nod mah head cause Ah know Pop’s right. We start ta fly inta the air an Ah look out mah window.

“Look Pop, we’s flyin. Everythang’s gettin so small Ah ain’t even able ta see people on the ground no more.”

“Couple a minutes we’s gonna be so high up ya ain’t gonna be seein nothin but clouds.”

Mah eyes widen.

“Clouds?!”

“Tha’s right, Toby. Gotta get over the cloud line so we don’t get rained on. Air gets colder an thinner higher up ya get. When ya look down yer able ta see some clouds.”

Ah look out mah window 'gin. Ah’m watchin the clouds pass us by. The colors look so dang pretty Ah dunno if Ah even wanna close mah eyes ta take a nap like Pop says Ah could.

“Now son the plane might get bumpy at times. Don’t ya worry bout it none cause all we’s gotta do’s keep in our seats. Pilot done learnt how ta deal wit it so we’s gonna do jus fine.”

“Ah get what yer sayin Pop. Ah’ll try ta not get all scared if we get bumpy.”

Pop smiles at me an Ah feel all good inside cause Ah know we’s gonna be safe now. Ah start ta feel sleepy too an Ah start ta have an interestin dream that Ah’m walkin pass a snake. Ah recognize it from the book Pop gave me.

“Hey dere, Mr. Snake. Yer a Common Adder but Ah ain’t gonna bother ya none so don’t go tryna eat me. Where’re ya from?”

Mr. Snake sticks his tongue out an starts speakin his snake language.

“I live in the bushes on the Hogwarts grounds. You won’t be hurt, my fleshy friend. Just walk by slowly and you’ll be safe.”

Ah start smilin cause Mr. Snake’s really nice an won’t eat me.

“Thank ya Mr. Snake. Ah’ll be goin now.”

Ah feel somethin hittin mah shoulder as Pop wakes me up.

“Toby. We’s gotta eat now. Do ya want chicken?”

Ah can feel mah tummy growlin at me. Ah rub mah eyes an look at Pop.

“Yeah Ah’ll have chicken Pop. Ah love chicken.”

“Ah’ll ask fer chicken then. Jus try ta eat what ya can cause Ah know ya don’t like everythang.”

Ah wait fer mah chicken dinner ta come. Ah dunno how the airplane people’ll make food taste but Ah hope it’ll be tasty.

"Here ya go son."

Ah’m lookin at mah chicken an Ah think it looks good. Ah try ta take a bite.

“Do ya like it?”

Ah keep the piece of chicken in mah mouth. Ah dunno what ta think. It ain’t the best chicken Ah ever got. Also ain’t so bad Ah wanna cry.

“Ah think it’ll be fine, Pop. Still ain’t like yer chicken.”

“Atta boy. Once we have our breakfast in the mornin we’s gonna eat good.”

“Is we goin ta a pub, Pop?”

He thinks for a minute.

“Ah think it ain’t fer ya. They gots all kinds a fish places.”

Mah eyes’re wide.

“They’s got catfish, Pop?”

“They got fish sticks type fish. Ain’t gotta worry bout buyin ‘em frozen no more. We’s able ta get 'em fresh jus bout anywhere. Tha's gonna be mah new job.”

Ah scratch mah head.

"Wha's ya new job?"

"Uncle Travis's got connections. Got me a job on a fishin boat. Gonna be catchin the cod British fellers use fer fish sticks. Even wizardin fellers gotta eat."

“Oh. Now Ah wanna try the fish sticks the British wizards eat, Pop.”

“Tha’s good son. Ah think yer gonna really like it there.”

Ah nod an go back ta eatin mah chicken.

Time Skip

Ah feel Pop shakin me awake.

“Toby wake up. We’s gonna be landin soon.”

Ah rub mah eyes an look out the window. Ah ain’t seein clouds no more so we’s gotta be landin.

“So’s we gonna be havin breakfast before landin?”

“Tha’s right, son. Ah asked the nice woman ta bring ya pancakes an hot chocolate.”

Ah wiggle in mah seat a little.

“Yay! Ah like pancakes an hot chocolate.”

Pop pats mah head an Ah stop wigglin.

“Awright son, here’s yer breakfast.”

Pop sets me up ta eat. Ah look at what Ah got. Ah got me 3 pancakes an 2 syrups. Tha’s fine wit me cause Ah don’t need a syrup fer each pancake.

“Ah like pancakes, Pop.”

“Yeah it’ll do the trick till we get lunch.”

Ah watch Pop drink his coffee. He makes a weird face.

“Do ya hate yer coffee, Pop?”

“Sure ain’t sweet tea son. Airplane people’re doin their best. Jus gonna have ta deal wit it. If this type a food’s good then nobody’d wanna stay in the house. They’d be livin in an airplane all their lives.”

Flyin in a plane ain’t so bad. Then Ah think bout havin ta use the bathroom.

“Ah don’t wanna live on no airplane, Pop. Bathroom’s too small an ya gotta wait fer other people.”

“Tha’s right son. We jus gotta make do wit what they give us.”

Ah nod cause Pop’s sayin truths. Ain’t no reason ta complain when it ain’t hurtin me. Small bathrooms an a long wait hurts me but Ah know the airplane people can’t do nothin bout that. Bigger planes ta make bathrooms bigger only means more people wit an even longer wait.

“Finish up eatin. Ah’ll make sure we gots our sweaters. Ireland ain’t nearly as hot as Florida. Don’t want ya catchin a cold.”

“Awright, Pop. Do ya think Ireland gets real cold?”

“Hmm. We’s gonna get some snow, but it ain’t New York type a snow. Ya might be able ta get one snowman in but that’s bout it.”

“Goodie. Ah don’t wanna be too cold Pop. But Ah still wanna maybe get one good snow day for Christmas.”

“Tha’s nice, son. Now finish eatin yer pancakes.”

Ah smile an stuff mah face wit pancakes. Ah hear a bing noise an the pilot starts talkin.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we have begun our descent into Cork, Ireland. Please turn off all portable electronic devices and stow them until we have arrived at the gate. In preparation for landing in Cork, be certain your seat back is straight up and your seat belt is fastened.”

“Pop wha’s stow mean?”

Ah watch Pop think fer a minute.

“It means ta put yer things away. Can’t be havin the plane crashin cause anythang’s messin wit the electronics.”

“Ok, Pop. Ah’ll put mah headphones away then. Ah don’t wanna cause no accidents.”

Pop pats mah head an Ah know Ah’m doin good.

Time Skip

“Awright son, le’s go find our luggage. Once we get 'em we’s gonna be goin fer lunch.”

“Yay!”

Ah try lookin fer mah bags. Ah got a cargo backpack wit a froggie keychain so Ah know how ta find it.

“Look, Pop. This backpack’s got mah froggie keychain.”

“Then it’s yer backpack son.”

Ah grab mah backpack an hug it. Ah like mah backpack wit mah froggie keychain.

“Awright. We’s got our luggage. Ah’m gonna call Uncle Travis ta let 'em know we’s gonna get lunch then go on over ta their homestad.”

“Ok, Pop.”

Ah follow Pop ta a phone booth an listen ta him talkin. Ah kinda like bein in this phone booth. Ain’t loud like the airport waitin room. 

“Son we’s leavin now. What ya wanna eat?”

“Ah wanna know what the Ireland people’s fish sticks taste like, Pop.”

“Awright Toby. Plenty a places we can go fer that. Ah'mma try findin one that ain’t that busy.”

A man pulls up.

“Oi, I’ll give ya a ride, guv.”

Pop looks at him. Ah ain’t got a clue what he’s sayin.

“Ya’ll got any fish stick places here?”

“Can tuck in at a takeway place, guv. Get ya dere in half a tick.”

Pop shrugs then takes mah hand ta get us in the car.

“Why ya talk so strange, sir?”

“Born in London before I moved here laddie. Ya southerners ain’t so different. Ya jus us but Yanks.”

“Ok.”

Ah think Ah’m understandin what he’s sayin. He’s sayin we ain’t that different cause Ah learned in history class that some a the Ireland people moved to America. They done moved to the South an they started talkin different cause they weren't Ireland people no more.

“Son stay in the car. Ah'mma get yer fish sticks ta go. We’s gonna be eatin on the way ta Uncle Travis’ house.”

“Awright, Pop. Ah'mma keep mah eye on our luggage.”

Ah watch Pop get outta the car an go inside a small restaurant. Ah tap mah hands ginst mah cargo backpack. Ah start makin stories in mah head after a while. Ah’m seein me an a girl lookin like a fairy princess in a big ol classroom. Ah got a wand in mah hand an Ah’m makin magic.

“Awright, son. Ah got somethin better than fish sticks fer ya.”

Pop comes back in the car wit a bag a food.

“Better than fish sticks? Pop wha’s better than fish sticks?”

He pulls out a box an opens it.

“This’ a fish stick sandwich. Got it wit fries an a ketchup cup.”

Mah eyes widen.

“They got a sandwich made outta fish sticks? Wow. Ah gotta try this, Pop.”

Ah start eatin mah sandwich while Pop talks wit the nice man drivin us.

“Ah love it!”

“Irish folk sure knows how ta fry fish. Distant kin after all. Got similar types a foods jus made different.”

Ah keep eatin mah sandwich the whole car ride. Don’t even wanna wiggle cause this sandwich’s so good.

“Now look out yer window son. We’s gonna be 'proachin Kwimper territory. Uncle Travis’ house’s comin up jus up ahead.”

Ah look out mah window an Ah see an amazin forest house.

“Thank ya kindly stranger. Have yerself a 20.”

“Blimey! 'Twas my honor guv.”

Ah help Pop get our luggage out the car an wave bye ta the nice Irish man as he drives way.

“Come on, Toby. We’s gotta get unpacked an meet our kin.”

“Ok Pop.”

We start walkin up the path to Uncle Travis’ house. Ah can’t wait ta meet the Irish Kwimpers.
