DP x DC Prompt

An AU where Danny is Damian's cherished older brother who died while they were in the league, before Damian even came to live with Bruce. At least, that's what the Waynes thought until Damian crosses paths with a familiar black haired, blue eyed, muscled brickhouse of a guy that he just swears is his older brother, Danyal. After all, they've had crazier things happen in this family, right?

The problem? That's not Danny. It's Dante. And it takes him about 20 seconds to understand who the Wayne's think him to be. Does he clear the misunderstanding up? Fuck no. He messes with them as long as he can. And eventually, when he gets caught (maybe by Cass who's easily reading his body language and seeing his lies, or maybe by one of the many detectives in the family who quickly pick up in gaps in his story), Dante twists the truth just a little bit. Yeah, he tells them that he's just another secret child. Either Danny's hidden twin brother, or Damian and Danny's secret older brother. It all culminates when the real Danny happens to visit Dante, unaware of all the chaos he's stirring in their family.

stop spreading despair and nihilism

stop buying into the idea that nonviolent activism is useless, rather than (by far) the most effective form of protest

stop falsely claiming that BLM accomplished nothing and that most citizens “don’t care” when people are murdered by the state

start understanding that most of your neighbors care about your rights, and their own

start noticing that most people are moved by injustice, including against people who look nothing like them

YOU LOOK JUST LIKE HIM - Part 1

I'm high-key obsessed with this concept and it's all yall's problem now.

Here's the prompt

Danny doesn’t feel the pain.

He doesn’t feel anything at all.

One moment he’s thinking about how John’s gonna lecture him about losing his wallet and phone again, about how he’ll have to listen to a rant about “awareness” and “wards don’t do shit if you leave the bloody front door open,” and "Why do you think it's smart to walk around at night in a shit hole city" then–

BANG.

The sound of the bullet sliding between his eyes rings in his ears.

Confusion.

Cold pavement.

No pain.

Just… nothing.

Danny’s soul slips out before the body even finishes falling.

For a second, he stands there, looking down at himself. There’s a shape on the ground that looks almost like him if he squints, but it’s messy, limbs twisted in uncomfortablepositions, still.

And then something yanks him down.

Not a demon.

Not a curse.

Not an eldritch entity.

Just the universe cashing in the fact that Danny is a Constantine, and Constantines don’t get heaven.

He screams—

—but John doesn’t hear him.

John only feels the snap.

The binding spell between them doesn’t scream with pain (Danny died fast).

It doesn’t flare with warning (no suffering, no signal).

It just—

goes silent.

Like someone blew out a candle inside his chest.

John’s in the middle of the exorcism, finishing the final sigil. The demon snarls; the windows rattle; the air goes sharp and freezing—

And John stops.

His hand drops. His cigarette falls from his lips. His pupils blow wide like someone hit him.

“Danny?”

The demon laughs, thinking this is some kind of weakness, until John turns dead-eyed and finishes the ritual like a machine. He doesn’t breathe until it’s done. Doesn’t flinch as the thing screams and tears apart.

Only when the silence settles does he realize he’s already shaking.

He checks the binding.

There’s nothing.

Checks again.

Not pain. Not distance. Not resistance.

Just absence.

He finishes the case. Automatically. Practically sleepwalking. He doesn’t rush — there’s no point. There’s no one waiting for him at home.

He goes back to the rented motel. Opens the door. Doesn’t turn on the light. Drops onto the mattress.

He stares at the ceiling for hours.

Then twelve more.

Then the next day too.

He can’t go back to the apartment.

He can’t see the empty couch, the undone homework, the mug with the stupid green cartoon ghost Danny insisted on buying him.

So he leaves.

Drops off the grid.

Drowns himself in bottles and sex and cigarettes, ignoring everyone who tries to track him down until they deem him a lost cause and give up.

Time is strange there.

Minutes feel like months.

Months feel like centuries.

Centuries feel like breaths.

Danny doesn’t know how long he’s there — long enough that he forgets the taste of air, then remembers, then forgets again. Long enough that rage becomes numbness becomes bitterness becomes clarity.

He blames John for a while.

For binding him. For cursing him with bloodline. For the fate of damned Constantines.

And then he lets it go.

Because he remembers John’s hand ruffling his hair. Remembers laughter. Remembers cheap ramen at the kitchen table and stupid jokes about magic gone wrong.

He forgives him long before he escapes.

When he claws his way out — raw, spectral, half-feral, soul latching onto his own corpse like a drowning swimmer grabbing a life preserver — it’s instinct.

Possession of oneself is easy, natural.

He gasps awake in the coffin, choking on stale air like it’s foreign because it is.

He claws out and stumbles away from the JL protected cemetery before anyone can see him; slips away unnoticed because Greg the night-shift attendant is watching tiktoks in the hallway. He staggers into the night, half-ghost, half-corpse, zero direction.

He tries to search for John. He really does.

But John Constantine has erased himself so thoroughly that even the Justice League can’t find him.

So Danny goes to the only man whose name carries weight in the world John runs from. The only man that has even the slightest chance of finding him.

Batman.

I think it sucks that you have to go to so many different kinds of doctor to take care of yourself. It's the 21st century. I should be able to go to a single office where they scan me with a big xerox machine and tell me what I'm allergic to and why my tummy hurts and if I have any cancer or cavities or if my glasses prescription has changed. And then I should get a sticker.

[papayafromtv]

Joker dies bcs during his big dramatic speech of the day he tries to be be all insane and funny by pretending to shoot himself in the head with his BANG! flag gun but he fucks up getting distracted by flirting with Batman and mixes up his guns and he shoots himself in the face in front of the bats. Jason, who was being bodily held back from shooting him himself by Bruce and Dick for the past 15 minutes, laughs so hard he fractures a rib and has to be carried back to the batmobile

[papayafromtv]

i've changed my mind the reason Jason's laughing so hard is because he's the only one that noticed Tim quietly sneak up and switch out the guns because 'as long as Joker pulls the trigger not me then it doesn't count as murder' and Dick and Bruce have no idea why when they finally get to the batmobile Jason insists on high-fiving Tim because Tim claims he 'only just got here, what do you mean the Joker's dead?'

Jason wheezes so hard he gags

genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital

[bigmann-mclargehuge]

Share the knowledge

[dragon-in-a-fez]

Okay, here we go! I'm gonna try and put this in order from least to most technical knowledge required. I'm not responsible if you accidentally create SkyNet etc.

Level 1: browser extensions

This one is basically impossible to get wrong, or at least to get wrong badly enough that it causes any problems.

Get Firefox, or a Firefox fork like Waterfox. If you use a fork, make sure it's one that will let you use add-ons. On a PC, pretty much any Firefox fork will take add-ons, but on mobile devices, many don't. Iceraven is one that does.

Get the add-ons uBlock Origin, YouTube Sponsorblock (if you use YouTube), and FBCleaner (if you use Facebook).

uBlock Origin comes with a built-in list of filters to block ads and trackers, but you can add your own filters to block any specific element of a website you don't like. You know those goddamn floating frames on fandom.com sites that block half the screen? Now you can zap 'em.

Sponsorblock uses crowdsourced timestamps to automatically skip sponsor spots and self-promotion in YouTube videos. Never listen to anyone say "hit like and subscribe" or "Raid Shadow Legends" again.

FBCleaner hides all content from your feed except posts from people, groups, and pages you've actually chosen to follow.

Level 2: leaving enshittified services

The software that's become standard over the years in a lot of fields is steadily selling more of your data, showing you more ads, and pushing you to buy more expensive subscriptions. Time to tell them to get fucked.

Dump Adobe apps for Affinity or Krita. Drop Microsoft for LibreOffice. Change your default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo or Qwant. Use OpenStreetMaps instead of Google or Apple Maps.

Level 3: network-level DNS fuckery

DNS, or Domain Name Service, is the thing that tells your computer where www.website.com is actually located. By hacking your network's DNS you can force it to tell your devices that ad-hosting domains don't exist at all. Some of the steps on this one can get pretty technical, but because you're doing all the difficult stuff on a dedicated device, you can't really fuck up anything that seriously.

Get yourself a Raspberry Pi (a cheap older one like a model 3B will work just fine for this purpose), and follow a guide like this one to get it set up running AdGuard Home. AdGuard, like uBlock, has built-in filter lists, but you can also add your own if there are specific domains you want to block.

Once it's up and running, you'll need to change the DNS settings on your router to point to your AdGuard service. This is different for every router but will always start with logging into the admin panel with a password printed on a little sticker somewhere on the router.

With that done, every time a device on your home network looks for ads.website.com, it'll get back a message that says "sorry, can't find it", so it won't be able to load any ads.

Level 4: Android-specific DNS fuckery

Because AdGuard runs on your home network, it can't block ads on your phone when you're away from home - and what's worse, your phone will sometimes remember the addresses it got when you were out and about, and ads will get past your AdGuard wall even when you're home.

To avoid this, get AdAway for DNS-based ad-blocking directly on your phone. The easy, but less seamless, way of using AdAway is the "local VPN mode", which doesn't require you to do any mucking about with your phone's operating system.

Level 5: automated media piracy

The best way to stop seeing ads on all your streaming services is to stop using streaming services. There are loads of ways to do this, but the best ones involve setting up what's called an "arr stack" (Google that for setup guides) along with nzbget and a usenet account. Most of the time you'll want to set this stuff up on a dedicated device - an old laptop gathering dust in the closet is a great option, or you can grab something used from a charity shop or a local electronics recycler.

The great thing about usenet is that unlike with torrents, you don't have to do any sharing from your computer, so you're in a lot less legal jeopardy - legally speaking, distributing pirated content is waaayyy more serious than accessing it. I pay about £3 a month for a secure, high-bandwidth usenet service.

Once you start getting your own collection of media on your own computer, use the open-source media library manager Jellyfin to browse and play things from basically any device.

Oh, and don't be a dick. Pirate all you want from big corporations, but please pay independent small-time creators for their work.

Level 6: fucking with Android

Android phones are a lot more locked-down than they used to be, but depending on the device you own you can still do a lot of messing around under the hood. Note that if you get something wrong while doing this, there is always the possibility that it will turn your device into a paperweight.

Before you buy a device, check where it sits on the Bootloader Unlock Wall of Shame. Once you've bought it, check the xda-developer forums for guides on how to unlock it and "root" it (gain admin access) with Magisk.

Once Magisk is installed, you can add modules to do all sorts of cool stuff, including using AdAway in "root mode" which makes it basically invisible.

You can also install YouTube ReVanced, which will do all the ad- and sponsor blocking stuff we took care of in your Windows browser a few paragraphs ago. Be careful: there are a lot of fake sites out there pretending they're associated with the ReVanced project which might be injecting malware into their downloads. This Reddit post has the official instructions and links.

Also, try out the modded version of Facebook from APKmoddone, which will block most of the same shit as the FBcleaner add-on from earlier. There's always a possibility that modified apps like this are doing something dodgy, but I've never had any issues with this one personally.

Level 7: fucking with Windows

This one is scary because it can seriously fuck up your shit if something goes wrong, but some really cool people have actually made it very simple to strip all the bloat, ads, and spyware out of Windows. The tool I use is ReviOS. Start reading at https://www.revi.cc/docs. Basically, you'll need to download a tool called AME Wizard and the ReviOS "playbook" that tells AME what to do. Read the documentation before you do any of this.

Level 8: switching to Linux

I'm not going to pretend this is an option for everyone. Half the software I use on a weekly basis isn't available on Linux. But if you can switch? Do it. These days, Ubuntu - one of the most popular flavours of Linux - is built with people switching from Windows in mind, and a lot of things will be pretty intuitive. It also has great documentation and a huge community you can go to for help if you're confused about stuff.

And that, friends, is a comprehensive approach to banishing the demons of capitalism from your home!

Protip that parent of human children HATE to hear: Practicing positive reinforcement and behavior redirection in dogs makes you excellent at utilizing positive reinforcement and behavior redirection in children because they have much better language and reasoning skills!

[noonmutter]

genuinely the only reason this upsets people is because it's being compared to dog training.

if OP had written from the perspective of a therapist, teaching a person to do breathing exercises and word association and, oh I don't know, let's reference one I've actually seen on tumblr that got shittons of numbers and support--get shot with a nerf gun whenever they talked shit about themselves until they stopped doing it, and the person they did it to chimed in with "oh hey that was me they shot with a nerf gun, I felt silly at first but y'know what, I talk a lot less shit about myself and feel a lot better"

Zero complaints from anyone.

when you respond to a roommate doing a chore you hate with a sincere thank you and making a snack for them or something, you're teaching them that they should keep doing that because it makes you happy and sometimes they even get snacks.

hell yeah, snacks and affection!

exactly what dogs love

people love the same shit dogs do that's why we get along so well it's kind of a core thing we taught dogs to do, was appreciate and strive for affection and snacks

it is not a bad thing and there is nothing wrong with it

[thashining]

What the media won't show

[bite-sized-morsels]

It’s actually pretty nuts how there is no real mass media coverage of the protests that are happening all over the US. It demonstrates fairly conclusively that the unlawful activities at the White House aren’t just limited to Trump. There’s a lot of wealthy people in powerful positions in the US and around the world helping to support the dismantling of the US federal government.
