one of the fundamental things non-europeans (and many europeans frankly) don't understand, by not knowing european history, is the historical relationship between the balkans/eastern european countries with their surrounding empires (western european powers, russia, ottomans). the birth of most of these countries, in the 19th/20th century, was defined by the interests of the empires at the time. empires which leveraged their power to to determine the future of these nations, with little to no care for the populace of the regions they were shaping. it's okay not to know this, you cannot possibly know the history of every part of the world, but this is the exact reason why some sweeping statements about europe as a continent sound nonsensical. particularly so for the people who live in its newer and poorer countries. for the various people of eastern europe, grouping them with the same countries whose leaders played with the future of their nations/people as though they were toys, is absurd. and they are right to find it absurd. if you erase a significant portion of history of an entire area for your convenience, a history that defines their current reality, its people are right to dismiss you. of course there are times when simply saying europe/european is appropriate and necessary, it's just that a lot of people can't seem to tell the difference when it should be used. naturally the point of all this is very simple - don't make sweeping statements about places (any place) you know nothing about, and if you don't listen to people when they try to talk to you about their own history, why on earth would they listen to you in return?

DP x DC Idea
ok hear me out- Ghost King Jason Todd. Bear with me a tick.
At the end of the first millennium of his rule, Pariah Dark was required and compelled by Zone Law to name an heir should he retire or shatter. (Not that anyone expected him to do either.) Still, it was a law of the zone itself, and it needled at his core worse than the Observants and their constant prattling.\
So, eventually, he grew annoyed enough by it that he declared his heir to be a liminal being. If that wasn’t controversial enough, he picked a random name that had yet to popularize in the mortal world, specified that the death was a violent one, and the death date? The death date was just numbers he happened to glance at in the moment, with the year set thousands of years away from the time the heir was named.
Pariah Dark figured, what are the chances someone with this name, of liminal nature, will die on this random date? Well, he knew of Clockwork (maybe knew him well, even), and knew there was always some slim chance. Still, he figured he could simply find his presumed heir and destroy him before he could try to claim the throne.
He didn’t expect to be locked up in the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep.
When he’s freed during Reign Storm and notices the date, it’s one of his priorities to send a lookout for the random kid who would happen to be his heir. Danny and co. lock him up before he receives any information, and that ends up being kind of that.
There’s discussion in the Zone after that, about a potential ruler. Some think right-by-conquest applies, but others argue the technicalities of the matter - Danny did not act alone, did not beat Pariah Dark without help. Thus, it doesn’t count as Conquest (though it does put him in the high recommendations for the next king’s knight). There begins the questioning then: did Pariah Dark ever declare an heir? Few were left who remembered such a thing, but it was confirmed that he had indeed, though the information about said heir was scant and somewhat inconsistent. One story said the heir’s name was Jackson, and that he died tragically; another called him Jensen and claimed he still lived. So the search began, with inconsistent clues. Any place in the mortal realm with enough ectoplasm to sustain a ghost was a potential hiding place for the heir. They started in Amity Park and spread to other towns and cities. Some ghosts sought out newly dead that had died the day Pariah was locked back up again.
But who’d’ve thought to connect that the same day the sarcophagus locked again, a boy named Jason Todd rose from his grave?

the buddie playlist, pigeonxp edition.
for a smidge of context, some of the songs are not specifically buddie coded to me. some of the songs can be considered specifically eddie or specifically buck coded, such as My Kink is Karma, which i (in the context of this playlist) consider eddie specific. there are a few like this but the majority is buddie specific.
as another mention, this is my opinion only, hence the title. i am open to suggestions to this playlist and it is always ready to be added to.
