Prompt/idea #6

Y'all what if when Danny's not feeling that good (is very injured/didn't eat anything/sleep deprived) he instead of fainting just... Turns into his 14 yo self.

That wasn't such a problem at the begginjng bc he was short king and well, he didn't change that much.

But now? When he's in college (basically always on the verge of fainting from exhaustion/hunger/dehydration/whatever unholy thing he consumed to stay awake and functioning) in Gotham? When he's 24, and yeah, maybe he didn't grow that much in height, but he lost the baby fat. His face didn't look so hopeful, and innocent and he gained quite few scars.

So yeah, changing into his 14yo self wasn't the greatest by itself. But add the trauma Danny has when looking at himself in the mirror, and overall being in the wrong body (thinking about what younger him didn't know, like u can add angst Abt canon stuff, like Vlad was a fucking creep, pariah dark, or add vivisection and Dani dying or whatever).

So Danny was being extra careful about taking care of himself (he thought, like a liar). And maybe that day he forgot breakfast, lost his pocket money, his card declined, he couldn't sleep because of reccuring nightmares and the only edible (that's questionable tho) thing in his bag was some somehow wrong ectoplasm he stole from some guy few weeks ago (and Danny needed to ask the him where tf did he manage to find such a disgusting ecto. Like not even his parents manage to fuck it up that badly).

So when on his way home, some fucking asshole jumped him, of course he was going to freak the fuck out.

...if knocking the guy out counts as freaking out. And showing some of his more ghostly features out (read show the asshole the indescribable horrors of balancing life and death for eternity and no time at all).

And that somehow tipped Danny over the top. So now he's sitting there, in his now way too big clothes next to the knocked out (hopefully) clown, drawing dumb pictures on his face, waiting for Jazz to pick him up and maybe help him dispose of the body.

(bonus points if the batfam saw this go down and are now so fucking confused how tf did some twink™ knocked out the fucking joker in one punch, and than transformed into a fuckibg child????? B, no, put the adoption papers down-!)

(bonus bonus points if 14 yo Danny looks exactly like 14yo Jason, and they (especially Jason) just see young Jason sitting next to dead? Joker w a crowbar, drawing dicks on his face)

(also the reason why Danny doesn't know who joker is, is bc every time someone started talking Abt joker or the clown he assumed he was something like batman, and wasn't interested in learning anything Abt anything clown themed)

Someone: Why are you crying it’s only a manga panel???

The manga panel:

[clover0101]

I was thinking about 01-08 parallels, and thought about this:

Amane, a child who wants to be treated like an adult.

Haruka, a teenager/young adult who wants to be treated like a child.

Both of them went throught heavy child abuse - Haruka was neglected, ignored and verbally abused if not more, and Amane was a victim of ritual abuse, and we've already seen a lot of what she suffered.

The key difference in their responses to trauma and abuse from their caregivers is how they perceive themselves, and growing up.

Amane, inside the cult, sees the adults around her as people with power. People that are respected, and never understimated. She wants to be like them, she imitates her, but her naive and obvious childish mentality comes to light when you realize she's just repeating the things the adults around her lectured her to say, and that she's (accordingly) very childish. She wants to grow up because it would mean people will finally take her seriously.

However, for Haruka's case, growing up is a signal of losing everything that made him happy once. When he started to grow up, he realized he couldn't keep with everything people around his age were supposed to do, and sooner than later he lost the love of his own mother. He wants to stay like that because that's the only source of comfort he's ever had and he's been deprived of it for so long he'd do *anything* to feel it again.

We also have the visual parallels!! Both are drowning, but while amane is still trying to swim up, Haruka falls like he just gave up.

They were both, in their own ways, drowning in the expectations others had over them. The pressure they felt to meet what everyone wanted from them, and the suffering that came when they couldn't.

How do I recover from reading this line and all the emotions I feel

I don’t have a proper review of it yet. Technically, my brother is watching it. That being said, I just watched an episode of Carol & The End of the World.

I’m not sure which one. I am not really sure why the world ending or whatever. I have no context, but I just started crying because of a random episode.

Donna, I think her name is, was visiting her family. She worked through most of their childhood. She doesn’t share their stories or feature in a lot of their memories. She feels like she missed out and she should’ve been there.

I relate to that, for different reasons. At the end of it, her kids tell her that she did enough. That she was still apart of it.

I don’t think that spoiled it. If it did, I’m sorry.

So yeah. I am most likely going to binge it later. You should probably check it out.

Big TOTK Spoiler that I have to get off my chest:

After you complete the main quest Crisis at Hyrule Castle, the cut scene for the blood moon is no longer narrated by Zelda. It's just the music and the monster noises. Zelda doesn't appear in the first scene anymore.

She's just. Gone.

It was Ganon's puppet all along.

Bro I don't understand why someone bothers to hurt someone and also send porn at them. I'll pray they grow up or get punched in the kidney as I block them.
