I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing the— DPxDC Prompt
“Woah. You look like shit."
Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.
The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.
"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."
And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.
The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.
If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.
"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.
"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.
"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.
The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.
He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."
There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.
"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."
Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"
"Daniel? Is that you?"
His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

okay but real talk i personally reeeally do not like the evil miquella theories especially the mIqUelLa is gRiFiTh ones i have to roll my eyes 😒
imo it just.,,, completely goes against his character??????
like his whole thing from the very beginning was to cure malenia from her crippling rot and then created a haven for outcasts of the golden order, so he's had nothing but good intentions from the very beginning. and if he were to become evil or some shit out of nowhere, it would be so contradictory to him and what the lore says he stands for and it feels like it would be just a cheap "pull out the rug from under you" moment :/
the one thing that i do like is that yeah, he has compelling powers and uses love to win people over, BUT THAT DOESNT HAVE TO BE A BAD OR EVIL THING????? AND THERES SO MANY PEOPLE THAT SEE IT AS SUCH AND IM JUST LIKE
and honestly it would be even better for miquellas character if he was acutely aware of his powers to compel affection and he too saw it as a little shmarmy and tried to mitigate his abilities
and this whole line here makes me firmly believe that miquella, as he is now, does not have a shred those compelling abilities or anything for that matter.
so Miquella literally gave up EVERYTHING to even be able to come to this world of shadow because there is something here that he sees as extremely important for the fate of the world.
Miquella is literally the epitome of a being who is both kind and humble.
And that is what makes Miquellas character so interesting. Because in the context of all the Souls games where ruin and depression is practically the norm, a character that stands for hope and actually has the power/chance to grant hope to the rest of the world is so incredibly special.

okay but Wylan's love language is gifts because he is Kerch and to give someone something without expecting anything in return is like the epitome of love to him.
Jesper realizes this and will bring him random little things (a cool rock. a flower. sheet music he saw in a store. an old ring he doesnt wear anymore but thinks Wylan would like. a shirt he thought would look good on him. a little trinket he made him), but Wylan always ends up bringing him something in return to make up for it, and it frustrates Jesper endlessly. he just wants to give him things to show he loves him, but Wylan insists on giving him things back. It gets so bad that they have to promise to only give one gift a day, and that they have to go back and forth with it. they have an endless supply of stuff in their house.
it's even worse with Kaz, Inej, and Nina because he doesn't see them as often. Kaz will walk in to something sitting on his desk and just know it's from Wylan. every time Inej comes back to Ketterdam there's like a million new things in her room in their house. Nina gets packages sent once a month filled with things. and they have no way of stopping him because he has the funds to do this, and also no one ever actually sees him collecting them, they always just kinda... show up.
and there are always a thousand little things out in the backyard under an M carved into the wood of a tree

The year is 2050, they're remaking Sonic the Hedgehog for the 102nd time, and they've gone WOKE.
Sonic the hedgehog is now Sonic the transmasc. He has blue hair and pronouns.
Tails is now a chemist, and instead of building planes, he cooks estrogen.
Knuckles is now black- well he was before but now they're stating it.
Amy is now a woman who was solely added for representation... I mean she was before but now she's the main character because feminism.
Rouge the bat is now Rouge the trans woman and instead of stealing gems, she steals the estrogen that Tails makes.
Shadow the hedgehog is now They/Them, and is in an omegaverse polycule with Sonic the transmasc
Dr. Eggman is now a conservative who steals puberty blockers from Sonic the transmasc.
Green Hill is now Yass Queen Hill.
You no longer collect rings because its considered monetary currency and everyone is a communist.
But you wanna know what's scary? This game doesn't come out in 2050, it comes out of the closet this October.
