#my boyfriend’s acting up

[bet-on-me-13]

Danny commits to the Bit a bit too hard...

So! For the first few weeks after his accident, whenever Danny would try to help the people of Amity Park, he would be treated as a Villain.

No matter if he had just defeated the Big Bad of the Week or saved a Cat from a tree, everybody in town only saw him as a Monster or Villain to he feared and hunted down. Danny was really getting sick of trying to get them on his side, until Sam made a suggestion.

"Why not just...play into it?" She said, barely looking up from painting her nails.

It was just an offhand suggestion, but it stuck with Danny. Why shouldn't he lean into it? The people of Amity Park already saw Ghosts as Evil, and they already assumed he was in cahoots with the Ghosts attacking the town. Why shouldn't he just...play into it?

So he does just that.

From that day on, whenever Phantom was spotted he would dramatically monologue about his Evil Plans, or claim that another Rogues attack on the City was his own act of terror.

Box Ghost destroys the towns Warehouses? It was on his orders.

Ember mind controls masses of Teenagers? All part of his Plans somehow.

Every Adult in Town is kidnapped by Young Blood? Danny gave them over to a friend as a Gift.

He crafts an identity for himself as the most Vile and Horrible Ghost that has ever attacked the City, using his own infamy to cement his legend even more firmly. The town only sees a Monsterous Villain, who has eveded capture near effortlessly for months on end, who constantly attacks their City and gets away with it.

Of course he still needs an excuse for how his plans keep getting stopped, and he gets it when his girlfriend Valerie becomes the Red Huntress. Before that, he just claimed infighting or the Fentons getting lucky, but Valerie becoming the Town's Hero meant he had a plausible excuse for how he kept getting "Foiled".

Val was suspicious, because she was not as involved as Phantom painted her to be, but in the end she had no proof of him faking his defeats. And she couldn't come up with any explanations for why he would do that in the first place. I mean, who would fake being a Supervillain? It had to he something else.

This did come back to bite him a while later, when the Justice League decided that enough was enough, and dispatched Justice League Dark to recruit Red Huntress and help Deal with him.

Coincidentally, that was the same day Pariah Dark attacked the Mortal Realm and sucked Amity Park into the Ghost Zone.

And honestly? Danny had spent over a Year proclaiming himself as a Villain who commanded Ghosts to attack the Human Realm, and he had heard about the Right of Conquest being Absolute in the Ghost Zone, so why not make it official? Why not overthrow the Ghost King, become the Ghost King, and cement his identity as a Villain while also forbidding Ghosts from entering the Human Realm without his permission?

He may have gotten a bit carried away and forgotten that the Villain thing was a disguise...but hey! He was still preventing Ghost Attacks! ...mostly. That's got to count for something right?

He may have let the Bit run a bit too far...

[werewolf-transgenderism]

onward, noble Stede!

[edwinisms]

see I need ghost clothes to have properties more or less like regular clothes because wearing someone else’s jacket or shirt is one of the most important expressions of affection in existence and yes basically what I’m saying is i wanna see charles give edwin his jacket for one reason or another and see edwin get all flustered and giddy about it

[ingravinoveritas]

All of the shows and movies Michael has been in, and he sees this and immediately thinks of GO and David. Let me live, please...

[synbiote]

idk if someones made this joke before but

[crazylittlejester]

my hot take for the day is that I trust the average straight man more than straight women who romance astarion with their twink elf male tav who’s been modded to the extreme

Greetings, Timothy

Ra's. Having computer troubles again?

Well, you did blow up my bases. Again.

Oh no Ra's Dearest, I'm so sorry to hear that

Leave the condescension to Grayson, he pulls it off much more effectively

I'd say you might like him better than me at this point. If he's so much better than me at everything, why don't you bother him instead

Oh but that's not how our little game here works my Beloved Detective, it is my turn to retaliate is it not

And what, this is a heads up? Not like you at all, Dearest

Oh, is it not?

Leave the clueless act to Grayson he's-

An excellent performer. Not the kind I'm curious about, I -

And what kind are you curious about?

It truly is impossible to have a conversation with you, young detective

And what would we converse about if it weren't?

... Perhaps I am giving you a heads up. Perhaps I want you to be prepared for our next encounter.

And why should that be?

I think you know very well why, Timothy. I'm sending a puzzle your way, as a gift, I do know how much you love those

Oh, you know me so well, Dearest

Mm. And I suggest you watch your back. My men won't be going easy on you

You wouldn't face me yourself?

Oh I would, but I have a pretty blonde to attend to. He's quite the specimen, have you broken him in yet?

... No. Where is he... Where's Bernard!?

Oh calm down now, Beloved, he's right here with me. Does he know you flirt with international criminals during your night work?

...

Well, he does now, doesn't he?

Ra's don't you fucking dare touch a single fucking hair on his head! I'll kill you this time, I'm not playing!

Ohoho, dear boy you can't, you don't know how to cross that line yet. Have fun with my gift now will you?

Fuck you.

*chuckle* Goodbye Detective, I'll see you soon enough.

Suddenly got the inexplicable urge to watch the Cats musical again. And then I remembered this ask I answered on my sideblog and giggled like an idiot

[casdeans-pie]

I spent the last couple of days with my best friend that I've known for 13 years - he's always trated me like his little sister and to me he's basically my brother

I love him to bits

We went to an old castle together today and we were heckling the ghost in the 'haunted room' and he kept touching everything that had a No Touching sign on it asdfhjkljgdkl

When we're together there's only one braincell between us

It was kinda refreshing to take a break from the internet for the weekend tbh - but I'm happy to be back !

[genderqueersherlockholmes]

i might just be autistic or something but i am seeing people posting saying that at some point john and mariana flirted or something or they think theyre gonna "get together" but i pay so so much attention when listening and i did not pick up on anything like that... when did that happen . i was listening and i just thought "wow theyre all such good friends theyre such a trio :) best friends forevers" im so confuseddddddddddd

[dust-of-embers]

Re-reading vol 10 of Kamisama kiss is amazing… it’s so fucking fruity

Tomoe turning into Nanami to try seducing Jiro is amazing, truely taking advantage of the genderfluidity of kitsune, I love it

(Sorry about the image quality, it’s dark and I’m tired)

And then my favourite past ship in this fandom…

You can’t be a demon lord in Japan without being at least a tad fruity, the ridiculously strong bond with one person and one person only is very bisexual and autism…

(Sesshōmaru does this too)

[barbreypilled]

I include Annie Cresta in my pantheon of Fucked Up Women because I feel like interpreting her entirely reasonable setting-appropriate mental illness as absolute bonkers derangement (I am That Kind Of mentally ill do not @ me or illl eat u) is actually revolutionary in a fandom that seems to interpret her primarily as a useless adult baby

[kiddokori]

i dont ship them per say i just think they understand each other in a way no one else can and while this could bring them together it’s much more likely for them to reject the horror of being known and cannibalize each other like oscars

[toasty-broski]

Honestly, you can’t blame people for shipping Sam and Dean when you have episodes like Tall Tales and have them acting like straight up BOYFRIENDS!!

(Im saying this because I was watching that ep with my brother last night and HE is the one who said “they’re acting like boyfriends”. Like EYE didn’t say it!!! HE did!!)
