I shared this on the dead on main server, but just for all of your brain itches also:
So there's Danny-suddenly a halfa- by definition both alive and dead. He is two things that are diametrically opposed. They cannot exist at the same time, so they don't.
Every time Danny goes ghost, he dies again. Each time the rings of light engulf him he has a moment again of being electrocuted to death. Phandom greatly enjoys giving Danny Lichtenberg scars, but electric shock has other common symptoms such as hearing loss, tremors, and seizures...
...all things Danny faces every time he comes back to life.
It takes them awhile to put it all together- that transforming and fighting makes it all worse- and by then Danny's been through rounds of medication for his seizures that do nothing and has a permanent level of hearing loss. (And Ancients does the hearing loss explain some of his troubles with school.)
Part of Danny is tempted, each and ever time, to stay a ghost where he doesn't feel the constant ache of pain and trembling muscles and muted world. Part of him is tempted to stay dead.
But he pulls through it. Things settle with the ghosts. Danny is able to hang up Phantom and being a hero and instead focusing on living. The seizures stop, the tremors and pain have good days and bad, Tucker helped him make some amazing hearing aides... he lives.
He gets an internship with the Wayne Foundation and their outreach helping children left permanently injured by the attacks in Gotham- inspired in part by Jason Todd-Wayne's own partial hearing loss from an explosion.
When they meet, neither of them quite know just how deeply the other person can understand what they've been through.

remember when jonathan threw up and ran out of the room when he saw what was allegedly will's dead body. remember when he argued with joyce because he felt like she was abandoning will in her grief. remember when he begged her to pull it together and planned a funeral by himself because he refused to leave will in the freezer any longer than was necessary. remember when he was just a teenager trying to do right by his dead baby brother who he felt like he'd already let down once and would and could not let down again. does anyone remember that or is it just me

A proposal for that “humans are space orcs” concept
Alien: you humans are so adaptable and survivalist! You’re so powerful! The athleticism and the dynamic environments you can prosper in…
Human: pfft that’s just normal dudes! You should see some really impressive people! *pulling up Olympics clips on on phone*
Alien: wh…

I had a bunch of weird interconnected dreams broken up by me waking up with violent leg cramps
one of them involved Feitan burning my arm on a stove by holding it above the flame
not very nice of him, not very nice at all :(
