I Got The Angst I Wanted In The Reposts - Blog Posts

Oh how the angst resonates in my core <3

NOW LETS MAKE IT WORSE

They’re in separate rooms, but they’re both locked up in prisons of their own guilt. Danny feels guilty for simply existing as he does, dancing on the line between life and death constantly he has dual citizenship.

He might not realize it, but it’s internalized dislike of ghosts. His parents have always thought of ghosts as ‘less than.’ This was repeated to him constantly for years, so while yes, he understands they are wrong and that ghosts aren’t less, they’re just different, it’s hard to erase the years of that belief. It changed how he viewed himself after he realized he was now no longer human, and instead a half-ghost. Half of what he had always seen as lesser than.

So yeah, he could technically leave the cell via intangibility, explain what’s going on, NOT traumatize the JL further by making it a less of a talk about his death and more about how he is still there, but he won’t cant. He tries to psych himself up to do it. To go out there and truly just explain everything. He’s a hero too, they would understand how secret identities and misunderstandings happen because of different biology. ‘Think about how much easier taking care of amity would be if I had fucking Superman on speed dial’

But then he remembers he’s not like them, not really.

“Look at you. What are you? A ghost trying to fit in with humans? Or some creepy little boy with creepy little powers?”

He’s someone who in their eyes is far too gone to even try to talk to.

He’s a ghost, someone- no. something that can’t see past their own obsession. Something dangerous that doesn’t even belong in this dimension. Something that can’t feel like humans can. But he does. Says that small voice in his head desperately picking back the negative thoughts. He does feel because he is still Danny. He’s not like the other ghosts, that much is obvious. They all at least get along with eachother, but they can’t possibly detect such a thing being possible with him.

To ghosts, he is less than. Imagine that! Less than the ghosts. He didn’t even consider it possible to be that low on the scale.

So yeah, he can go out there and make a fool of himself, possibly make a target of the other ghosts and amity park as a whole, but he won’t.

He deserves whatever the Justice League says he deserves.

Make a wish for a corpse

So Sam has a maniacal plan to get back at the Justice league for not believing them when they needed help.

She submits a make a wish application for her dead friend Danny has a terrible illness that could cause his heart to stop at any moment, doctors believe he may only have a few weeks left to live.

All he wants is to meet Martian Manhunter and the Justice league. She stipulated that they should absolutely not tell him it’s a make a wish thing so it doesn’t remind him about what’s coming.

Danny bears no ill will towards the league and has no idea what’s going on. When he wins tickets to meet the Justice league he flips his shit

Fun fact: Danny has developed a sort of narcolepsy where he can and will fall asleep at random times so long as he feels safe and he’s incredibly hard to wake up.

Danny’s heart stops any time he falls asleep.

So Danny is having the time of his after life, he spent most of the afternoon with Martian Manhunter, whose also having the time of his life because it’s so rare that he’s the favorite hero, and now they’re all sitting down to eat.

They’re all talking and Danny starts to doze off and just passes out then and there.

Panic ensues and all the league members are traumatized by the child that just died right in front of them.
