Danny shows up and he is having the best. Time. Of. His. Life/afterlife. Lady Gotham loves him, she is being very accommodating and always makes sure he has a good spot to see Vlad's face get kicked in.
One time Vlad approached him in Gotham, and all Danny had to do was yell 'STRANGER DANGER' and every single Bat of Gotham converged. Every. Single. One.
Most never patrol during the day. Most never patrol all at the same time. They're almost never all in the same area. But today, for the purpose of dog piling a billionare, they do so.
Danny is having the best. Day. EVER.
No, literally.
Vlad avoids Gotham like the plague, because Gotham's spirit despises the man.
Every single time he's gone to that city, awful things happen to him. Just him.
Joker attack? He's the only one that gets hurt.
Scarecrow attack? He's the only one that gets tripped up and exposed to the fear gas.
Muggings? Every single mugger somehow ends up in his path, and it's in front of others, so he can't go ghost on them.
Robberies? Every single bank he goes to gets robbed, he never gets that transaction.
Littering? Every person who litters and throws trash out their car accidentally hits him.
Sinkhole? Only where he's standing, in public, so he can't fly.
The Bats keep getting the sense that something is intrinsically wrong with the man, so they keep stalking him. Red Hood doesn't even bother to try to hide it, he just stands four feet away from Masters at all times, staring at him until someone comes to take over the stalking.
Every single two-bit thug sees Vlad Master's face and is just "ah, yes. I must damage it in any way possible, this is law."
The citizens of Gotham love it when Vlad Masters shows up, because the man somehow absorbs like, all of the shit luck in the city and things get a little more peaceful for everyone else.
Guess what? Thanks to me and a friend, Who’s Old Now actually has a TV Tropes page!
Cool, I think. What's a TV Tropes page and where can I find it? Thank you for putting in the effort, even if I don't actually know what this is.
It becomes a repeat occasion. The mysterious video taker shows up in a villains lair, lays a trap of some kind, takes of video of them falling into it, and uploads it.
Captain Cold in a bathrobe shuffles along and slips on a patch of ice that definitely wasn't there before. All of his cursing is beeped out, so the next thirty seconds of video is one very long beep.
Lex Luthor walks through a door and get a bucket of glue dumped on his head. When he goes to open the bathroom door to clean up, a bucket of Superman red and blue glitter dumps on him. The ensuing tantrum goes viral.
The filmer has a laser pointer. Cheetah is filmed batting at it idly before going full cat and chasing it around the room.
The internet holds its breath for the next video. The Justice League holds it breath because HOW IS THIS PERSON NOT DEAD YET. (Jokes on them, Danny is dead already.)
What would happen if you poured blood blossoms into a Lazarus pit?
I love whump writers cuz for most ppl, they have an idea they share with you and it's like, a fun little romcom or a mystery or whatever with characters getting together.
But then whump writers come to you with the biggest smile on their face excitedly telling you how long it takes a character to bleed out and that they've written about vivisection
Billy: Statute of limitations, but anyways thanks for coming!
Batman: That's not how the statute of limitations works-
Billy: I dropped out of fifth grade, my legalese compiles what cops've harassed me for.
The Justice League: What-
Billy: Man, I can like, trauma and info dump so much now! This is gonna be fun!
The Justice League: No it will not.
Billy telling them his identity when he hits 18 🙏
There is too pure for this world Marvel iterations, and then there's slightly unhinged Marvel iterations.
"I can't drive, but I can hotwire it for you,"
"Cap, why do you know how to hotwire a car? Cap? Marvel!?"
Green Lantern: We need someone to drive the car. Cap, why don’t you get behind the wheel?
Captain Marvel: Nope, can’t do that.
GL: What? Why?
Cap, secretly 12yo: I…don’t have a license. It’s irresponsible.
GL: You don’t ha- This a covert mission! Just drive.
Cap, never even played Mario Kart before: It is my moral obligation to obey all traffic laws.
GL: Just drive the car!
Cap: YOU CAN’T MAKE ME
Happiness Will Come To You.
I swear I saw a post earlier today that someone was making a fic about Danny and/or Jason getting de-aged to their death age and I can't stop thinking about how cute that would be
Like imagine, Danny and Jason are already either best buds or dating and some ghosty nonsense or magic turns them back to 14 and 15 respectively. They both just look at each other like 'shit, what now?' And have to figure out how to turn back
Non of Jason's "built like a fridge" clothes and gear fit him so Danny, being a lil smaller, lends him some of his stuff (which is still big bet closer). And then they go off as little mini Hood and Phantom trying to solve their problems.
I need this in my life. I will be reading that fic once it's out and if I find it.
reblog this if you're okay with booping spams please !!
flip the rock to see what’s under it!
(make sure you put it back after, don’t want to disturb the wildlife.)
Yo! I'm Lira, she/her, LiraBuswavi on Ao3, and I'm just here to have a good time. The header is fanart I received for a fanfic I wrote! Check out @doodlesforfics, they're an amazing artist.
