Quick question for all my DP phans out there!
One of my favorite tropes for DP and related crossovers:
Danny pointing out a spiritual problem, tech problem or some flaws in a system he comes across (as in tech, governmental, or general procedure-wise) and fixing them with innovation, common decency/respect, a healthy amount of sass and/or witty commentary (or total nonchalance), and a lot less difficulty than than anyone could have imagined, maybe even wondering why know one else had done so already. And the people he fixed it for going, ‘We can do that?’.
And vice versa:
Someone, one of his team members or one of the ghosts he's on semi-decent terms with pointing out something obvious, to them at least, that would reduce his work load, if not majorly, then enough to make a difference. And Danny, with relieved tears in his eyes, an unhealthy amount of self loathing for not thinking of it sooner, and enough exhaustion to physically weigh down the air itself, going, ‘I can do that?’
Found family tropes - Collect them all! (Almost all parties are optional and/or exchangeable, but valued nonetheless!)
• Quiet kid who is too smart for their own good, always either stays at home and lurks in their room or gets into the most trouble. No in-betweens.
• Big, unfriendly looking guy (gn) who is actually very sweet and loving. A gentle giant.
• 'Precious little angel' who is infact a manipulative little shit (usually the youngest).
• The really smart one who only acts responsible when the others don't, but is a total dumbass the rest of the time.
• The violent lesbian. Either very loud with her beliefs or quiet and deadly, but chaos incarnate either way.
• The 'anything goes' sibling who is most adaptable and usually has a great deal of common sense, but is with the crazy group for a reason.
• Crazy old coot who is actually kind of skilled. Probably focused on some kind of conspiracy that he's probably right about. Has some of the most memorable lines. (Emotional support grandpa?)
• Very capable old coot who is tired of everyone's bullshit, but is now too emotionally invested to leave. (Typically a retired veteran of some kind or a reformed villain)
• Tired Parent who has no idea what they're doing or why they're here, but doing their best
There's always at least one self sacrificial idiot who everyone cries over.
Repost with a show/movie/book of your choice in the tags! Whichever one covers the most tropes wins! (Lol)
