Did Grace become surprised when he learned his first name was Ryland? Not grace?
To only have memories of being called grace?
Do you think Grace sometimes forgets that when he remembers stuff about himself, he has to mentally remind himself it is himself?
Do you think he stared at his photos and wondered if they were somehow close brothers instead? Were there any mirrors on hail Mary? Did he know what he looked like beside a self image?
Did Grace mourn Ryland? A man who was betrayed by his friends and forced into space? Does he resent Ryland for being a coward, when Grace would have done it? With a big sigh and thousands of tears but he would have. (I don't have the hero gene like you.) (I'm sorry I just can't do it)
Did Grace set his photos and a blanket in the airlock and send it off whispering thank you for being human?
Dib needs a cane, because back problems among other things. Doesn't really matter why, when he tries to get a cane from his dad, prof. Membrane says using a cane will eventually make his back problems worse.
Dib's pain gets worse and he starts needing to sit down more, until eventually his body gives out and he just lies down on the floor in like, skool or something.
Zim sees this and is just... Confused.
"why is Dib human on the floor?"
"My back gave out Zim. I probably need a cane to be honest."
"... Why does stink human not have one then?"
"uhh.."
Long story short because Dib is "far too weak to be a good arch nemesis" Zim gives him a cane he made. They never speak of it again.
One day Danny gets really angry at his parents, this is because he had to hear them talking about ripping ghosts apart molecule by molecule all day. And what do angry teenagers do? Be rash.
He grabs paint and flies over to the nearest FentonWorkstm billboard and writes "murderers" across it because that's what they are, aren't they? They killed Vlad and Danny through gross negligence.
Danny goes back home and falls asleep to go to school in the morning, except the cops are at the door because that sort of thing isn't just brushed off when someone sees a ghost write who killed them.
When pomni first gets to the circus she believes it's all a dream, what about instead she just thinks she's finally gone crazy instead and everyone there is just her mind come to life inside out style, and she's just pointing at people and going, your my subconscious want to make people like me, it makes people uncomfortable. She is at the very least more confident because she thinks this is all in her head, jax finds all of this very amusing(until pomni starts assigning him rolls he does NOT want lol) also I think pomni takes a more active roll in making sure jax isn't too rude to gangle because that's HER self esteem right there(see below) so yeah, love ya gangle
Everyone (to pomni)
Jax- intrusive thoughts (later her fear of people abandoning her or dying)
Gangle- her self worth and feeling like she is unfulfilled in life
Ragatha- her people pleaser ness
Zooble- ???
Kinger- the father that she needed/still feeling like she needs a parent to take care of her (originally thought he was fear)
Kaufmo- manifestation of her going crazy
Gumigoo- maybe the fear of reality being a simulation(ha!) or her want for connection?
Caine- ??? (Maybe her feeling like she's putting on a show or something?)
Bubble- gains the title intrusive thoughts once it leaves jax
And that's it, this is mostly based off a Tumblr post where it said "ah i see, *nods sagely* I've gone insane" but I feel like it would be funny if pomni just straight up thought she went crazy and just stuck with it.
so recently I have seen a ton of people adding these things to Danny where he is more ghost like in ghost form and while that's all fine and dandy your forgetting the fact that Danny is very painfully human in ghost form.
Like yes he has snow white hair and glowing green eyes but he is practically the only ghost with a human skin tone in ghost form, who still seems to get winded at times, who still seems to live
And while making Danny and Eldritch horror is fun, isn't it more terrifying to see a kid, just fourteen years old, still lanky and have baby fat bleed green and have burnt with a branching electricity scar etch across him? He looks so painfully alive and yet he is still dead.
Imagine if when he's a ghost he's just constantly projecting your safe with me, don't worry, your going to be okay (protection spirit/emitting how he feels) meanwhile that completely backfires in human form because it'he looks so alive but dead with like hollow eyes and sunken face meanwhile it feels like someone is whispering in your ear "I won't hurt you, I'll keep you safe.. forever" (ghost speak talks to your soul so when it can't talk to your soul it talks with your brain)

dick and his family were all playing cards when the doorbell rang. Sitting up he walked over to the door and opened it to see a young boy who was prime adoption bait with black hair, blue eyes.
"Hi there! I'm danny."
"hey Danny, what'cha doing here? I'm Dick."
"I'm here to visit my dad!" Danny said happily, "papa said he was here"
Dick froze. Dad? Did Bruce adopt another one without telling anyone? Or did one of his brothers have a kid without telling anyone?
Leaning back into the living room with the rest of his family he yelled "who had a kid without telling anyone?" Bruce dropped his cup and you could here a pin drop.
Suddenly Danny the yelled "Dad!" And rushed past him. Looking to see he almost passed out when he saw Alfred hugging the young boy. Bruce actually did.
__________
Aka, clockwork adopts Danny and after a bad reveal he sends him off to go stay with his husband(alfred) in another universe.
Now everyone has to get used to this 14 year old who is younger than Damian and yet their uncle because he's their psuedo-grandpas kid.
Dick: Alfie? When.. What.. How? Who!?! Papa? Dad? You're married and adopted and we didn't know!?!!?!
Alfred: My husband is a very busy being. As he cannot often leave his haunt he has never been able to visit for more than stolen moments.
Danny: Papa adopted me via the laws of our dimension. He should have set something up so Dad has an easier time legally adopting me here?
Alfred: Quite so my boy! Clockwork is always thorough in these situations.
Tim and Cass are sitting with a woozy Bruce. Keeping him stable and from falling again, while listening intently. This is Hidden Lore(TM) and they will note everything for further questionings.
Damian: What sort of Being is this Clockwork? What sort of being are you?
Alfred sighs and looks at the crowding Wayne's (legally or emotionally adopted). He knows they will note down every word to interrogate him later. Knows there is no way out of answering many, many questions. No distraction will work for long.
Alfred: Clockwork, my husband, is the Ancient of Time. An Ecto-Entity of standing. Both within and outside the Infinite Realms.
Danny: I am half Ecto and half living human. So I have to have access to a living Realm, like this one, and the Infinite. Otherwise, I will weaken and eventually lose my human half. Given I'm 14? Papa doesn't want that for me.
Jason: How long have you been married to what sounds like a God?!?!?!
Alfred: A God? I assure you my husband is no such being! The answer is lifetimes, Master Jason, lifetimes.
Danny: Dad is a reincarnation. He could have stayed in the Realms after his first Death. But he likes being alive. Likes looking after people. So Papa helped him come back every time. They met when Dad was sacrificed to be his. Papa didn't take the deal, and then stuck around to court Dad!
Jason: I need to know everything. This sounds like some Epic Romance from Ancient Rome, and I need to know.
Alfred: *sigh*
"Very well. The first life I recall, I was the youngest son of a Roman General. His name has been lost to time. I grew up raised to follow as my older brothers' aide.
Alfred rolled his eyes as the children all looked offended on his behalf. This happened lifetimes ago.
"When my brother lost a battle, I was captured by the Gaul's. They offered me to Clockwork for future victories. As Danny mentioned Clockwork refused. Such a victory would have damaged the timeline. But apparently my calm in the face of such an outcome was intriguing."
Danny grins and then pokes him in the side.
"Well yeah Dad, most mortals freak out when offered to the primordial manifestation of time itself. Papa was smitten by how bright your soul is as well. Papa wasn't giving up a chance to at least try and woo him!!"

When I was reading fic from like, 2020, Danny wondered if alfred was a house ghost and it was played off as a joke but now I can't stop thinking about it.
Like imagine alfred dying at some point but just never mentioning it. He cleans up the body and just continues on with his day, he was already liminal from his afternoon chats with clockwork.
Do when Danny comes by after meeting the bat family he's just like "oh, a house spirit! I wish I had one, but no ghost wants to live with ghost hunters, except, well, me." Alfred smiles at Danny and pours him a cup of ecto infused tea that he serves Damian and Jason.
Alfred asks why a ghost such as himself would live with ghost hunters and Danny says well actually-
Meanwhile Damian is offended because that's HIS special tea and everyone else is more or less focused on the fact alfred was called a spirit and he didn't deny it at all.
Everyone cries when they learn the truth except Jason who's just like, makes sense
So, magic happens (because of course it does), and Frostbite’s whole tribe? Yeah, they turn human. But since they don’t act like modern people, everyone just assumes they’re some old tribe that’s been chilling (literally) in the background of history. And the tribe is just like, “Sure, let’s go with that.”
Turns out, they’re ridiculously good at medicine. Like, curing stuff nobody thought was curable. So they start getting famous for that.
Danny? He’s the first outsider to find them and actually get to know them. He already speaks Ghost Speak (because halfa perks) and understands their culture better than anyone else. Which makes him the only non-tribe member who really gets them. And because Danny has the survival instincts of a wet paper towel, he leans all the way in—becoming their official liaison. If the GIW ever comes knocking? Boom—he’s got an alibi. “What? Me? Involved with ghosts? No, no, I’m just a cultural anthropologist studying this very real, very human tribe.” And then he takes it way too far and actually gets a doctorate in Anthropology.
The Fenton parents? SO PROUD. Their son is a doctor like them! Amazing! Incredible!
But then, surprise surprise, the magic wears off. Oops. So now Frostbite and the others start looking like yetis again. Luckily, Clockwork (or some other ghost) makes enchanted necklaces that let them appear human. If anyone asks? It’s just a “tribal tradition.”
If this is DP x DC:
They still have their ghost powers.
People start seeing them as an ancient meta group that’s been around forever, which helps meta activism (“See? Metas have always existed!”).
The Justice League(*cough* *cough* losers) wants to meet them—either for their insane medical skills (because aliens exist and need doctors) or because they’re metas.
Problem: Danny and the tribe kind of hate the JL for never showing up when Amity was literally getting invaded every other week. They don’t cut them off, but they definitely don’t trust them. Also, the GIW is still a thing, and nobody wants to risk exposure.
Also:
Good (but Clueless) Fenton Parents – After a lot of convincing, they stop being ghost hunters and start being actual scientists. They even help get ghosts legal rights! But Danny still doesn’t tell them about Phantom because… yeah, that would be complicated.
When Jason came back from the pits he had vague memories of another land but just chalked it up to him imagining a world like his more fantastical book series, even complete with the terrifying Ghost King who was actually incredibly sweet and had a heart of gold when with those he loved that he somehow wood and married after he learned of the kings tragic backstory.
Anyways after a while and getting better with his family Timbert asked where the new accent in his voice came from and he joked that he should find out. Tim took the challenge (Jason doesn't even know where his accent is from so he's delighted to see Tim try)
Eventually, the whole batfam gets involved, trying to figure it out when eventually after chaos and betting suddenly Damian says he figured it out
Apparently the demon brat had met someone with the accent along with a girl (although it didn't sound as pronounced in her) and they both come from a place called Amity Park Illinois
suddenly Jason remembers and he simply states "oh shit, I'm married" and runs off yelling about stupid fantasy worlds and their average traumatized royal that looks rough but is soft cliches
time to destroy you all with writing I did at six am
tw for child murder(not that graphic) and a mourning father
Shadden heard it. The scream of pure terror as the sickeningly cool blade that burst into burns slid across their right eye, splattering muddled red into the ground. Shadden heard their father's voice get higher as he struggled to get closer, his wet sobs as he desperately tried to reach for his child. The crack in Baba’s voice as they screamed for Shadden, to tell them that someone loved them.
Shadden heard the horrible, horrible noise of a parent(their baba) watching their child's body crumple to the ground and just utterly break. The room went silent in mourning for the father, who had already lost Shadden's mother and was now desperately rocking himself back and forth, crying.
They would let him hold his dead child's body at the very least right. Faron watched through blurry eyes and horror as they kicked his kids, his starlight's, his child, off the side of the structure. Screaming again Faron cried and sobbed, and no, not his baby andwhy why why Why WHY WHY WHY.
Someone grabbed his shoulder, started dragging him away from his starlight's grave. His baby's grave. He sobbed, he really sobbed as he was led away, someone beside him trying to offer some help to the grieving father.
He was placed down in his empty home left alone as he screamed for them to get out. Staring at the dull frames holding pictures of his baby through their mere twelve years of life.
ERRORS WILL BE MADE BECAUSE I’M AN OVERWORKED PERSON
“What?” The Ghost King of the Infinite Realms hissed out in rage.
Danny stared down at where his Spymaster, a liminal who willingly stood up to take on the title to keep an eye on the human realm for him— was kneeling still as they waited for Danny to process their report. The silent in the throne room was deafening and yet his Spymaster— Lucero Castillo continued on to stay defiantly at him to showcase the seriousness of the situation.
“He’s called the Joker, he’s killed and caused more harm than I’ve realized. The person tasked at keeping an eye on him had failed and the man got away from landing in the realms for his trial longer than I’d like to admit.” Lucero said with a bitter tone, their anger obvious in the moment. Danny could understand, seeing the countless ghosts who landed in the realms because of the Joker grew.
Knowing that the Joker managed to defy death and kept inflicting it? It made Danny’s blood boil as he remembered the death of one of Lady Gotham’s Knights, the boy was young— so young that Danny wept to himself in the shelter of his own keep because that was a young boy who despite everything still tried to save his own mother. Danny felt like he was looking to a mirror every time he saw the Robin, purely because they were both teenagers— kids who had died. It was a limited time that Danny spent with Robin- Jason but enough that Danny missed him when the boy disappeared.
“You’ve kept tabs?” Danny rumbled out, his words echoing with authority that caused the ghosts in the throne room to straighten and Lucero to give a grin, their fangs glinting in the light of the ghost flames that lit up the room.
“Once I realized, I made sure to keep tabs on the clown. I figured it’d be a good premise for a hunt.”
A hunt… Lucero wasn’t wrong. A hunt would be good, it’d allow those who had been harmed by him. The ghosts will enjoy the thrill of hunting down their own killer, he’s sure Gotham’s shades and lingering ghosts would enjoy it as well. Lucero would keep an eye on the hunt, put a stop to any ghosts who stepped out of line and protect any humans.
Danny’s fingers drummed against the arm rest of his throne, the crown above his head flickering wildly as he thought it over.
“I approve of this hunt, it’s been too long.” Danny said as he gave a crooked smile before gesturing to Pandora who immediately began to speak the hunt in existence with another ghost besides her writing it down so a missive would appear before every victim of Joker that had died and lives in the realms.
“Under the orders of High King, the Hunt of the human named Joker the Maddened False Clown, the man who has denied our Mother’s embrace and who has cruelly ended lives of others before their ended time. The Spymaster has been deemed the Watcher of this Hunt and those who had been harmed by him may indulge in the hunt. The hunt will begin in a week’s time.”

Jason felt that something in Gotham was different, the air felt charged in a way he never felt even before his death. He was more in tune with Gotham than any other person, he knew Gotham at its core just as she knew him at his very being. It’s why he claimed Crime Alley as his when he had come back, why he dug his roots and kept digging them even if people tugged him and tried to make him change his tune about the Alley.
They didn’t understand.
Nobody understood the fact that Crime Alley is the very heart of Gotham, how she thrives on its very essence and how even at her weakest she relies on it to protect the rest of Gotham. The City Spirit loomed over him from the shadows, her hands placed on his shoulders to keep ahold of and giving a motherly croon whenever the Bats came into his haunt.
The leylines that Gotham lived on seemed to beat along as the excited trills and chirps of various ghosts were heard as he walked through the Alley, they sounded like a murder of crows in the death infested city. Shadows and blurs of greens and blues darted around, seeking. Hunting.
A soft croon from shade caught Jason’s attention, watching it peer shyly up at him with a wide childlike gaze. The shade was in an alleyway, one that Jason knew the kids around used to run after stealing some food that he knew Mrs. Jimenez purposely put on her windowsill for to take. He debated on ignoring it, wanting to head home because his skin felt too tonight, his pulse thundering in ways even adrenaline rush never could.
The shadows beckoned. Jason followed.
“Do you guys feel that?” Steph asked at family dinner of the month, her eyes darting around to catalogue the Bats reactions. Everyone looked on edgy, as if a single pin needle could drop and it’d shatter every peaceful pretense they had. Jason however looked at ease, as if he didn’t feel like he was a prey at the moment.
“Yeah, it’s made a lot of things brighter. I had to be careful during patrol because I’d start getting migraines from the lights.” Duke said as he poked his fork into his pasta, eyes hidden behind sunglasses that he wore to prevent his lingering headache from flaring into something worse.
“Oh it’s probably cause of the Hunt.”
A silence occurred before chaos erupted.
☁️☁️☁️☁️
NOTE: I am a firm believer that while Jason doesn’t remember anything from during his time dead, he knows ghost culture because its ingrained into his very being and has been aware of all the shades/ghosts of crime alley because its his haunt and he is protective of them as he is of humans. He’s basically Lady Gotham’s disgruntled feral cat and she’s basically throwing him at the shades as exposure therapy to the ✨other side ✨
also Jason casually dropping the fact of the Hunt is so funny cause he’s just reading a book while eating. Like hahaha yeah it’s cause of the Hunt :) we all had died or had brushed with death enough that we feel the excitement of the dead ! Jason is also very much unaware that the hunt is AIMED at Joker and pretty much. has a dead joker dropped at his feet by excited kiddo shades because !!! PRESENT FOR PAPA !!! before it gets yoinked into the infinite realms by Lucero.
morally grey danny because he is balance !! HE IS A KING !! he has the right to choose who dies !!! tbis was done at 2am again and scheduled to post at 7am
