Take care of yourselves everyone ππ³οΈβπ
I HAVE WAITED ALL YEAR TO POST THIS
This just makes me think of a role reversal-ish au with everyone thinking Aphmau is Irene incarnate and Aaron Shad but actually the opposite.
You think MCD Aphmau is ever bitter cleaning up Irene's mess?
Like does she run into people slighted by Irene all the time, blaming it on her or demanding she fix it even though really, she is not the same person?
And then she does her best to make it right despite that, because that's the kind of person she is, and each time the people are just... kinda ungrateful.
And then Shad comes along, wanting to kill her because she's Irene and completely fucked him over and she finally snaps like;
"THATS NOT MY FUCKING PROBLEM! It's not my responsibility to clean up her mess! Irene is dead! And I'm too tired for this shit!"
I imagine that snaps Shad out of his murder boner. "Oh shit, it really isn't Irene." And then that starts this road of getting to know this new "Irene" who is now absolutely nothing like the old one.
In fact... Aphmau now is way more like Shad used to be. And Shad himself doesn't know how to feel about that. Meanwhile, Aaron is cackling because, "Bitch that's what I was trying to tell you!"

I'm a sucker for dc x dp crossovers with constantine so imagine,
So the justice league is trying to summon the ghost king and Constantine has already met Phantom and is waiting for the chaos (I'm thinking a summoning gone wrong turned tea party) When they do Dani shows up and asks them all this stuff about if they have an appointment and that. Batman, utterly confused because his research left him totally unprepared, says that they didn't know they needed to make one. This leads Dani to go into this entire speal about how the ghost king is very busy and doesn't answer every summoning. This speech goes on for almost threeΒ hours until Danny shows up looking for Dani so they could finish catching up and decides to go screw with Constantine and lift him up in the air. It takes a good ten minutes for everyone to realize this and that is when Danny drops him, appearing crown and all. Telling them that if they wanted to get it that Constantine has his number. They all stare at the two ghost children while the two end the ritual and leave.

"You mean to tell us that we didn't have to go through that and you could have just called him"
"You didnt ask"
Oh my god!!???
I just realized why I have so much beef with Emmalyn, like. That's what I'm doing in real life like. Im literally in school for ancient Greek and Roman literature. Realising this as Im procrastinating Latin translations and working on transcripts for the Minecraft diaries wiki, specifically the first meeting of Emmalyn and Kenmur and I just realize that's why I have so much beef with this girl. I'm projecting.
On his knees for her
(Iβm gonna add on to this eventually but not anytime soon
This one has been done for awhile.
Since we all agree that people of the Alley of Crime adore Red Hood and believe in him, I think it is time to imagine Jason in a scene similar to the one from OG Spiderman, where his identity is accidentally outted in front of crowd of people, and they all are just choose to protect him and help him out.
So maybe Gotham is facing especially nasty trouble, and vigilantes are on the receiving end this time. So maybe Jason is thrown at the dirty Alley in his part of town, wounded, with helmet flying off, and there is just a crowd of people staring as bleeds out, astonished. And Jason thinks, oh, that's the end β he can go and shoot himself, honestly, because he just failed the man rule every vigilante have: never show your face, never reveal your identity.
But people are... helping him? His eyes are half-open, breath laboured and pained, but all he hears is gentle murmuring:
'God, he is just a kid...'
'He must be younger than my son.'
'Poor child...'
He feels soft elderly hand against his cheek as someone from the crowd, an ex nurse, comes closer to bandage his injuries, while a kid, barely with the size of his helmet, brings it back, sticking out their tongue as they try to place it back on his head, to hide his face.
'It is okay,' the old woman reassures him. 'You are safe with us, son. We hadn't seen anything.'
Jason's eyes sting, because, oh.
It is his people. He loves them. He will die for them.
And they love him just as much.
He still waits for someone to out him, though. But the week ends, the villain is out of the picture, and no one says a thing. The only proof that it ever happened is civilians, who keep waving at Jason β not Red Hood, just Jason β when their paths cross somewhere in the shops or streets.
And that's how he knows that it is them; it is them, and they keep him safe as much as he keeps safe them.
