HOT TAKE
But I like the idea of the phantom world being reincarnated into very unexpected people.
Like I still love the idea of Danny being Martha or Thomas.
Or Dani being another clone, or her being Damian, and Sam being Poison Ivy and or Martha, etc.
But I also like the unhinged nonsense of Sam being a clone in the dc world — ideally Kon, and Dani (or Dan) being Bruce, while Vlad is gasp Thomas Wayne.
HEAR ME OUT
JUST HEAR ME OUT
I just think the idea of Danny finding out that in an alternate world he married a nicer and age appropriate Vlad and had the son the guy has been demanding for so long in their world is hilarious.
The absolute mental breakdown that boy will go through: this is my son, and I love him, look at him go being a hero and kicking ass, but holy fucking Ancients above I fucked VLAD —
And on the other hand, can you imagine Bruce’s reaction? To his alternate mom being a sassy teenage boy, his alternate dad being an older guy ‘preying’ on this kid that absolutely HATES the guy, and being an absolute creep while his alt self **gestures to your choosing** is either a tiny girl menace or the biggest and meanest growling ghost that is BARELY tolerating being in the same space as the living.
But they also hate his alternate dad and would punch him into next week with Mom! Danny.
This man will being going THROUGH IT.

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.
Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.
Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.
Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

do you think oisin spends every class with adaine looking at how desperately stressed she is? do you think he remembers his offer but respects her so deeply that he never brings it up again? do you think he sneaks some extras into his pack, knowing that adaine looks around after class for anything left over for the following week?
oisin doesn't think he will ever be her hero, especially because he expects she won't ever need one. but every thing he can do to help her? he wants to. even if it is in secret.
but the day she comes back from the holidays? all her materials handled? well he won't explain to kipperlilly why he is smiling so much, though with how busy she is, he doubts she will ask.

i will genuinely be so upset if mahiru dies. like. theres nothing SHE could have ever done to stop it.
she couldnt have stopped or predicted kotoko beating her to near-death. if she gets attacked again between these trials, kazui is likely going to pick shidou over her in terms of who to defend if he can even choose at all in the moment. the fact shes even alive also hinges entirely on another person, shidou, who is at risk of being attacked.
there was nothing she could have ever done to survive. she couldnt have changed anything. she couldnt have done anything differently. her life has entirely depended on us and everyone around her this entire time. and we failed her.
we doomed her to the narrative. the prisoners around her, who she considered "friends", doomed her to the narrative. and the worst part about it?
she wouldnt even be upset that everyone's done this to her. she would tell us that its okay. she would tell us that she understood.
the prisoners around her have always thought she didn't belong in milgram at all.
