Hi !!! I just stumbled onto your blog!! What's your Danger Days au about, I thought the art looks so cool so far for it!!!!!
Hi hello yes, I’m not going to lie I literally came up with that au two days ago so my thoughts are Very jumbled and rudimentary still but the general idea would go like this:
- Relevant characters would be The Girl, The Director, Kobra, Cherri Cola, Dr. D, and the rest of the Four obviously but mainly those first ones.
- The killjoys fail to save The Girl when she’s six and captured by BLi, none of them die in this universe so they have to leave her there. I’m not sure if they assume she’s dead or what, but certainly it’s accepted that they won’t see her again.
- During the 12 years between the music videos and the comics The Girl is raised by BLi in this sort of Black Widow program thing. Maybe isolated from other people? She definitely undergoes a lot of brainwash-y manipulation stuff to warp her memories of what happened to her with the killjoys. She remembers being with them but thinks she was a prisoner basically. I think it’s important that BLi doesn’t try to wipe her memory entirely, they want her to remember what being a kj was like and who the Four are.
- This au would dive pretty deep into my own headcanons about how the Danger Days universe works. It would be extremely uncannon and campy and a total psychological horror story. Instead of being about the Zones it’d be about BLi and the characters connections to it rather than how they’ve separated themselves from it, bc in this au that tether is very much still there.
- We’d focus a Lot on Kobra and The Girl as two sides of the same coin. Imagine how in Stranger Things S4 Eleven and Vecna were used to show both their stories from one another’s povs. It would be something like that. I’ll just say that the inclusion of Kobra in that last art rather than another character is very intentional!!
- I don’t want to go on a long winded rant about the preternatural sci-fi fuckery that would be ALL OVER this story so just trust that it is a key element. I’d explain that in a separate post because it’s way to long. But this au would see that sci-fi fuckery in a completely different light than a normal timeline would. Instead of being a positive force it would be negative, sometimes outright dangerous.
- Not sure on an ending. I want to say BLi dies but I really don’t know. The characters arcs would be so complicated, I don’t know if it would make sense for everyone to just be fine in the end. I have not gotten that far anyways. I’m still on the fun parts right now.

Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??
As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue
the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD
He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.
like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...
The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"
and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it
does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING
like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow
For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat
Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation
Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with
Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)
But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time
Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell
Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch
idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room

In my opinion, Bruce should be above average height or at least average. But since he surrounds himself with demi-gods, aliens, meta humans, etc, he's just dwarfed next to them. Like maybe about 6'1 or 6'2, but that's NOTHING compared to Diana '7'3 feet tall' Prince. Or Clark '6'9' Kent.
All the tabloids claim he has to be at least 5 feet tall because the only photos they can get of him are when he's next to his giant ass friends.
It is also my personal headcannon that all the robins stay shorter than him, except Jason, who should be at least 4 inches taller.
