Am I the asshole for getting my best friend killed?
I swear to God, it was an accident.
My (27) BF (34) has a reputation for getting himself out of any jam you can imagine; and at first it was just a fun little thing the friend group noticed: there goes Oily J wiggling his way out of trouble again. but as the meme evolved in the group, it got to the point where we'd loykey started getting him into situations just to see how he'd get out of 'em, and he akept getting out of em. He was having fun with it too same as us. "Oh you guys," he'd say, "getting me into situations again," before laughing it off and getting out of it, so it was enrichment for our shared enclosures, and as time went on, the situations got more intense.
The trouble is, it turns out that putting a man in too many situations eventually gets the police interested. And not local hobsknockers cops either; they was like, proper three-letter FEDs. They put out a bounty on any information pertaining to his capture and everything. It was good money too so I thought, hey why don't I put J in another situation he can wiggle out of like always (and he'd wiggled outta worse before, so I thought this one'd be relatively mild), and at the next boardgame night (cause it was too late to do anything special for this one) we can buy some extra strong booze and get absolutely blitzed while having a giggle about the situation.
Boardgame night, and we were playing some social deduction nonsense or another and he says: "One of you is gonna betray me tonight." and I can't help but think, looking back on it, that he knew. It's stupid, I know he was talking about the game, but the way he said it, it was like he knew. We all felt it, and we had a big round robin round the table taking turns promising that we'd never betray him. And I said it so easily cause I thought it was true. Sure, I was gonna talk to the feds about a bounty; but, I fully expected my big beautiful oily boy to wiggle his way out of the trouble I was 'bout to cause, and that's not a betrayal. I wasn't lying. I didn't think I was lying.
My big beautiful oily boy didn't manage to wiggle his way out of it. They killed him and I got my blood money. He's gone.
He's gone and I'm devastated, crying, mourning. I loved him so much. We all did. And I can't stop thinking that it's my fault: that I'm the reason he's gone. and it is. and the guilt is eating me up inside. and I just need to talk to someone about it. So, I tell the rest of the group what happened in the group chat, hoping they'd understand that I didn't want this. I didn't want the government's blood money. It was supposed the be a prank. some joint enclosure enrichment. He was supposed to wiggle out of it like he always does... did, i mean.
They call me, among worse things, the asshole and kick me from the group chat. And, I know it's my fault he's dead: I know that. If I didn't do what I did, he wouldn't be dead right now. But, I didn't mean it for it to end up this way. He was supposed to be okay, damn it. I loved him. AITA?
What are these acronyms?
It's always funny to me that Jason, Tim, and Damian all have personal beef with Ra's al Ghul and meanwhile, Dick is kinda just like
Now from what I can tell there are two main explanations for Danny’s ghost powers.
The first one is the “canon” version. As in it’s more accurate to the explanation in the show but this is the phandom so it obviously differs somewhat. This one says that when Danny turned on the portal it put him in direct connect with an unlimited supply of ectoplasm as the portal opened on top of him. At the same time, massive volts of electricity ran through him, binding the ectoplasm to his DNA. Honestly I like this version less but I think it makes more sense from a logical perspective if you want a like actual explanation.
The second version is my favorite. It’s much more fantasy and mystical. And in my opinion is better for angst, which everyone knows is the most important thing in the phandom. Anyway this theory says that when Danny turned on the ghost portal it opened inside of him, not just on top of him. This caused him to simultaneously exist in the ghost zone and the material realm. When this happened, Danny was hit with a huge surge of electricity, killing him. But things don’t affect people the same way in the ghost zone so can you really expect that nothing weird happened when he was in both. It caused him to die in one dimension but survive in another, making him a paradox existing as both dead and alive. I like to think that perspective changes depending on which dimension he’s in.
Anyway that’s just my take on it and whoever came up with all this is a genius.
I got to work with @kinglazrus for their Invisobang fic “Blossoms on Her Tongue” that you can check out here –>(ao3|ffn) :)!
There’s this massive idea in the phanon that when Danny died he left behind a body (as it should this idea is amazing).
First of all I want to know what happens to Danny when he turns human again. Is he just a ghost shape shifting to look human? Does he go back to his body and it looks like he just passed out? Does he overshadow his body? Did he just, like, regrow his entire mortal form?
Either way, that’s not what I’m here for. There is another, slightly less popular idea that Danny’s body is constantly decaying. I am here to propose a middleman.
Now all the basics happen. Danny dies, he sees his body and panics. He decides to bury it because, you know, dead and all that. Except he’s under the impression that he just straight up died, no funky business. So he happened to fall asleep that night.
When he woke up he couldn’t see. He couldn’t breath. He shouldn’t need to breath but everything was suffocating. Danny tries to phase out but it doesn’t work. So he digs widely because he can’t breathe, where is he, he needs out. And he finally manages to drag himself out of his own grave to realize he’s completely human.
So, obviously he goes about his day, literally what else can he do? Except he feels a bit more stiff than normal. Throughout the day it gets harder and harder to move until he’s struggling to even stand. Then it finally hits him. Rigamortus.
Now, I firmly believe that the Drs Fenton would be the most accepting parents in the world.
However. If you really want to up the angst factor…
Let’s say we’re in a reveal goes wrong situation. Let’s also say we ascribe to the trans!danny hc.
Now, hypothetically, Jack and Maddie had been really accepting up till this point. And, hypothetically, they think their kid had been replaced with a ghost.
Would they think a ghost took away their little girl?
fuck it. blob mitosis
TW: suicide attempts but for fun
After a few years of doing the whole vigilante thing, Danny gets bored of his quick and simple transformation act. He gets bored of doing the memes along with it as well — the 'I guess I'll die' was funny at first, but there's really only so many times it works.
The solution? He starts staging his own deaths. Throwing a toaster in the bathtub, comically falling down on a knife, slipping on a banana peal and hitting his head, all that jazz. He has his own list of preferred suicides, ranking from the quickest to slowest and from the least to most painful, and another one that goes from the least inconvenient method to most troublesome one. The first one on the latter is getting shot at. The last is getting suffocated in a swarm of bees so far.
His friends are long used to it — they are all Amity kids, honestly, their idea of humor is really twisted. They laugh their asses off when Danny attempts to strangle himself with one of those sour candy strips. They laugh even harder when he succeeds.
But then Danny moves for college and realizes that most people outside Amity Park don't think performed suicide is funny.
And, well.
Sucks to be them because Danny does not plan on stopping any time soon!
The absolute culmination of it comes one dark November evening, when the Fenton luck strikes again and Danny finds himself being a hostage in Joker's old as time performance: making Batman choose between saving Robin or saving a helpless civilian, both of them hanging over the tanks full of acid.
Only, midway through the madman's pathetic speech, they all get to see said civilian wake up, look around to realize what kind of situation he ended up in, and then excitedly say, "Sick, a jacuzzi!"
And happily, eagerly wiggle his way out of the ropes to fall in, screaming, "Cannonball!"
