okay so the last time i wrote this [tumblr] glitched and i was left w only the memory of all the sentences and the dialogue i had so beautifully written on the topic of True Believer™ danwave.... so if it feels a lil dry thats bc i put my heart and soul in the tragically deleted draft.

ANYWAYS the idea came to me after seeing this post where i wrote some fun lore in the tags. ill put everything under the cut so it doesnt clog the dash <3

so. we already know danwave didnt believe in vampires before his near death experience when he encountered the evil vampire lady and diordan right. well im just gonna say that that was the case for everything except ghosts.

i just realized danwave hasnt had the chance to meet the rest of the vampstille dudes so i wont go into detail there bc i wanna include it in future scenes <3

anyways danwave was a huge skeptic (apart from ghosts) before encountering diordan but he didnt think abt the big picture and the implications of the existence of vampires bc he was still under the impression of that nights events and most of his thoughts were 'oh MY GOD I ALMOST DIED THERE' and 'wait a minute. THOSE WERE VAMPIRES! VAMPIRES ARE REAL?!?!?!'

but after meeting the rest of vampstille his little mortal human brain EXPLODES like 'wait. so. vampires are real. werewoLVES ARE REAL?? FRICKIN TOOTH FAIRIES EXIST???' and then he becomes a full on True Believer™ bc if THOSE exist what else might be out there as well? and that raises even more questions. are all supernatural/paranormal creatures and cryptids evil? are some friendly? good even? can the invasive ones be exterminated with Joygrave Equipment™??

anyways he becomes a crazy little man just imagine:

[the joygrave dudes (paul and joe) come into daniels office just to see him sitting in complete darkness w only the computer illuminating the room. there are empty mugs all over the place.]

joygrave dudes: hey dan we were won–

[danwave is on his 3rd cup of Joewave™ coffee in the past hour. he turns around, his eyes red from staring at a computer screen for hours with the lights off. he is heavily caffeinated and shaking.]

joygrave dudes: –dering 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

danwave: *paying no attention to what they were trying to say* I THINK IVE FIGURED IT OUT *proceeds to talk abt whatever cryptid hes latched onto this time*

paul: ...

joe: dan weve talked abt this those things arent real. you cant go chasing every possible "creature" that you hear of just because you met one vampire, werewolf and a tooth fairy, you have a job and a band you know you cant go on like this forever *signals to paul to get on the phone*

paul: hello. uh. can i get diordan van smith on the phone? [...] yeah i can wait... [a few moments later] hey dude, yeah hes gone off the rails again we have ghosts to kill and hes just– [...] yeah ill hand him to ya *passes the phone to daniel* here, its your vampire buddy

diordan: hello my friend, ive heard you were inquiring about [cryptid]

danwave: i know why they called you *sends a death stare towards paul and joe across the room* youre supposed to tell me to give up my search for [cryptid] WELL ILL TELL YOU NOW THA–

diordan: *interrupting him* actually my ghost hunting friend, i intended to inform you that [cryptid] is indeed real and is in fact a close friend of mine, and i can arrange for you to meet them

danwave: *loosing it* ITS REAL??? [CRYPTID] EXISTS? I WAS RIGHT?? *sends a crazy look to paul and joe while laughing Hysterically™ while pointing to the phone and gloating* OKAY WHEN CAN WE– ACTUALLY NEVERMIND IM COMING RIGHT OVER WAIT FOR ME OUTSIDE

[proceeds to frantically pour the rest of his Joewave™ coffee into a thermos and starts packing all of his equipment and leaves in a hurry]

joe and paul, now left alone: 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

danwave×diordans first encounter aka

ITS MIIIIDNIGHT

***general warning for Cringe and tw for vampire death***

[NARATOR aka danwave on his influencer account]

It was just another routine #ghost checkup at an #abandoned house, to make sure the property is #SafeForSale, which is on #discount as of now over at @joygrave btw, when the most #horrifying experience of my life happened....

[shot of the entire house at a low angle, everything is dark, but w a slightly purple tint] [scene cuts to the living room, its empty] [danwave is there, in the @joygrave uniform]

DANWAVE: *muffled singing* *dancing across the room* last night i killed a ghost that w-

[a weird noise interrupts the singing]

DANWAVE: *looks around confused* *smirks* ohh seems we've got a ghost in here *checks the ghost detector* huh. its not showing anything *smacks it a couple times* *gets worried*

[a dark figure looms over behind him] [danwave is oblivious to the fact]

DANWAVE: *to himself* guess its probably just the draft [:D]

[NARATOR]

It was, in fact, much more than just the #draft

[danwave turns to close the window that he could've sworn was closed] [he catches a glimpse of something moving in the corner of his eye]

DANWAVE: guess we DO have a ghost in here after all [>:)] *he takes out the ghost detector* *drops it*

[NARATOR]

and as i leaned over to pick the #ghost #detector up from the ground i felt a cold hand on my shoulder. Thinking it was a #ghost i pulled out the Joygrave Ghost Vacuum™

[ghost vacuum noises ensue] [danwave turns around] [the ghost vacuum makes a weird sound] [danwaves flashlight illuminates the supposed #ghost and reveals a vampire lady]

VAMPIRE LADY: *removes the ghost vacuum from her face* *hisses and prepares to lunge at danwave*

DANWAVE: *incoherent screaming*

[NARATOR]

I kid you not, what i thought would be a #ghost was something far scarier. A whole, very #real #vampire! My entire #life #flashed before my eyes in that very #moment. But then the most #unexpected thing happened

[another figure appears and tackles the vampire lady]

DANWAVE: *screaming intensifies* WHAT THE HELL *continues screaming* *hides in a corner*

[a fight between the vampire and the mysterious stranger ensues]

STRANGER: DIE YOU FOUL CREATURE *stabs the vampire lady*

VAMPIRE LADY: *screeches*

DANWAVE: *screaming incoherently* AHHHHHH HOLY SHIT YOU KILLED HER

STRANGER: ..... *crouching over the vampire lady*

VAMPIRE LADY: *is dead*

[NARATOR]

I didnt know what was going on but i handled everything with #dignity.

[stranger turns around, still crouching. his eyes glow a bright red]

DANWAVE: *whispering softly* what the heck what the heck what the–

STRANGER: *stands up* *makes a tired smile, revealing his fangs*

DANWAVE: *crying* NOT ANOTHER ONE

[stranger starts walking towards danwave standing in the corner]

DANWAVE: *crying even more* PLEASE DONT KILL ME IM TOO YOUNG I HAVE SO MANY SONGS I WANT TO WRITE AND GHOSTS TO KILL AND *incoherent babbling*

STRANGER: *reaches out his hand for a handshake* fear not dear fellow, that menace is gone and will be taken care of.

DANWAVE: *nervous laughter* *reluctantly goes to shake the strangers hand* hahaha what the-

STRANGER: Diordan van Smith, at your service *reaches for his pocket and pulls out a business card* give us a call if you notice sinister activity like this again

DANWAVE: *is petrified but engages in conversation* i- im Daniel.. of- of joygrave... h- here *hands diordan joygraves business card* in- in case you come across a- a ghost...

DIORDAN: why, thank you kind sir, but now i must bid you farewell

DANWAVE: wait but what about th- that  *points at the very dead vampire*

DIORDAN: oh, of course i almost forgot about... it *he says it with clear disgust* dont you worry about that, we will take care of it after you leave *smiles tiredly*

DANWAVE: W- we?? No, in fact dont tell me im just– going to leave. yeah. im leaving. yes. uh. goodbye— whats your name again?

DIORDAN: Diordan.

DANWAVE: oh. yeah. well uh goodbye then, Diordan....

[danwave rushes out of the house and promptly drives off to write a long caption about this on @joygrave's official account]

DIORDAN: what a strange bloke ;–;

THE END

[pikslasrce]

I FIGURED IT OUT

joygrave are ghost busters!!! idk how many paranormal and supernaturwl things can live in one simple au but nevermind that!!

ALSO i mean the song Now is basically abt killing a ghost so like 💁‍♀️💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

[pikslasrce]

what if... the vamp au was written entirely in danwaves pov 👁👁

[pikslasrce]

oc moodboard: joygrave!daniel (pinterest; playlist)

[pikslasrce]

okay so... i have a danverse au meta bc im procrastinating on writing down diordan×danwave first encounter 😀

yall know now by joywave? ofc u do <3 anyways here it goes.

in the chorus danwave says:

sounds familiar?

and then in the 2nd verse we have these lyrics.

does it ring a bell??

IN CONCLUSION

joygrave!danwave went clubbing with future inc!dan and found that the club was haunted so he killed the ghost and subsequently wrote a song abt it <3

[pikslasrce]

so... instead of doing homework i made an oc pinterest board for dangrave <3

i also added some quality content to diordans board <3

[pikslasrce]
