#But he never did

[apollosgiftofprophecy]

you ever think about what Odysseus would tell his sister Ctimene about how Eurylocus died?

will he avoid her eyes, knowing deep in his soul he ultimately is responsible for his death? will he lie, to comfort her and avoid the strain on their own relationship? will he tell a partial truth, that Eurylocus died trying to provide for the crew, but that it ultimately cost him his life? will she hold onto him as she mourns her husband’s demise, with Odysseus holding her and bottling up the mixed feelings of guilt grief and agonizing loss?

will she feel betrayed when she enters the underworld and finds Eurylocus is not there, because he didn’t receive proper rites? that he’s doomed to wander the waters of the sea as a ghost?

will she be angry about it? how would it affect her relationship with her big brother, her strong and smart big brother who she looked up to and admired? but who is the reason why Eurylocus died?

these are the questions I ask myself.

Son of Assassins

After an argument with the Fentons where they admitted they were not his birth parents, Danny fled town. He kept up his communication with Jazz, Sam and Tucker of course, but he didn't plan to return until he found out his true parentage.

Maybe they had the answer to why Dan had tried to destroy everything during his mourning, was it something genetic that could be activated? or was he imagining it?

His search leads him to Nanda Parbat, a place he has had flashes of memories that are honestly not very good but was necessary in his search for answers. There he meets his biological mother who is quite upset by his presence and hides him before the guards can notice. Danny doesn't get it but considering he invaded a ninja base he guesses she's justified.

Talia confesses that maybe leaving the clone in a small town in the middle of nowhere wasn't the best of ideas. But the boy was too good at training for his own good and if he continued down that path he would be discarded by Ra. And it's not like she could give him to Slade, considering that Slade didn't know of his existence.

Although looking at him closely it was likely that she could fool Bruce into thinking that he was another of his children. It seemed that Slade's serum hadn't activated yet, or his hair would be white and his eyes would be bright green.

Now, how do you explain to a teenager that he is actually a clone destined to be the guard of the future demon head and was saved by her selfish desire to want to give one of his children a childhood?

Confession:

I have only watched five minutes of the last episode of community. I stopped and I haven’t watched anymore in weeks because I’m scared.

What bothers me about the whole "Max needs Daniel to make him look good/nice/funny" narrative is that you can tell it's circulated by solely Daniel fans who don't care about or acknowledge Max at all when he's not an extension to Daniel. (I remember when the Daniel 3rd driver thing was announced, a Daniel fan I follow who has never positively acknowledged Max's existence posted a whole disclaimer to blacklist Maxiel if seeing Max's face triggered anyone because she would be posting Maxiel content now …. like miss girl, what?)

Also people who pay attention to Max outside of a solely shipping context and what Sky and media says about him would know he's been a good, loving, caring, nice, and funny person with or without Daniel as his teammate. Look at the way he celebrates with the whole team after successes. There's also tons of wholesome moments with individual team members, like GP and Christian. Look at the way he encourages some of the other drivers on the grid, such as the way he complimented Charles' driving last year or even his recent comments about drivers like George or Lando being capable of fighting for wins if provided with the right cars. Look at the way he defended his sister and nephew against f1 fan hate, or himself and Lando against harmful DTS narratives. Look at the way he cares so much about children, from spending time with his nephews or Baby P to getting down on younger fans' levels to talk to them when they approach him. There's TONS of examples of him being funny with drivers on the grid or people associated with f1, such as GP or Alex or Yuki or Lando or Elly. He has a quieter, more sarcastic sense of humor a lot of times compared to Daniel's loud, rambunctious kind - but that doesn't make him "not funny."

I don't know, hearing people say he's unlikable without Daniel around is always a huge red flag for me because Max has always been likable. He isn't acting noticeably different just because Daniel is around now, those fans are just now realizing he's a normal guy and not this monster media paints him to be because they only care about Daniel, so now that Daniel's around again, suddenly Max exists to them again.

Anyone who posts max content with their favorite driver but posts tw:Max is a fucking weirdo like Jesus Christ he hasn’t killed someone.

But I agree with all your points. Max is a naturally funny, blunt character and he has never needed Daniel to give him that he’s always been like that. He is literally friends with the majority of the grid, none of them have a bad word to say about him and whenever you see Max with another driver chances are he is maxsplaining or laughing with them. He has never needed Daniel to fix or change anything about him. He defends people he loves and that’s something special about him. You didn’t see another driver calling out the portrayal of himself or Lando to benefit others but Max was always there really to defend.

Honestly I keep saying it but if people looked outside the narrative the English media created around Max they would see what we see and if they don’t they shouldn’t post Max content or have the nerve to comment on his personality it’s that’s simple.

the phone is really one of cas' favourite human inventions and it's not about the emoticons it is about how it allows him to hear dean's voice when they are away, like a technological prayer of sorts

i really don’t mean this as a gotcha or anything!! but maybe helps add context/daniels reasoning. an espn article basically said (so his team lol) that daniel left renault bc the leadership was terrible and the whole organization was run shockingly poorly (so bad that they didn’t even know if they were gonna continue as a team/their future in f1). so i think the mclaren move was just his best available next step “up”

No pls ty for ur addition.🌷I like having these discussions and context always matters. This is just my opinion on the whole thing yk its perspective u can disagree!!. Ik I'm heavily biased because when started watching danny ric was kicking ass in yellow lmfao. Like u said, alpine, or renault at the time, wasn't exactly a dream come true. Alpine has very good engineers, a lot better than most people realize, but their factory is kind of a fl0p and literally the leadership is run super sloppy. In the danny ric era the car itself seemed to have hit its ceiling early on and it wasn't progressing fast enough ((especially before he announced he was gonna leave after that it was sailing upwards which like ok I get the covid thing and information was difficult hindsight etc etc if u wanted to make that decision u had to sh00t in the dark but ... Why not invest a just lil bit more time in this team that is very clearly investing in u.)). But yk they are A factory team, and they did build a competitive car. Thats not nothing we cant just ignore the car and be like oh but they are a lil icky like no😐 the car is the most important thing. The car had potential. And after Ocon came in the setups were stabilizing and they were having strong weekends and learning a lot. About the 'they didnt even know if they were gonna continue in f1' thing, which its true, cud have had a much bigger impact than I realize, but honestly bro to me its just like French team heritage like Renault was always involved in some type of bs that means they have to leave because they like committed a crime in 1980 or whatvr. Cyril, and Renault, wanted to build around Danny ric and they made that super clear all the time ((cyril literally got booted for failing to do so.)). Now what did mclaren offer that early? What did they promise that wud have materialized in a 'step up'? How did he look at a midfield, customer team, wid a driver like Lando and a boss like Zak, in a grid thats operating under a new cap, and thought that was gonna be 1. a better environment than he had 2. a better car ((the new merc engines were promising but again it’s the same risk regarding how the car is gonna be built)) 3. a garage that wud support him in case the car failed 4. a teammate he cud easily outmaneuver for feedback. Like no. Mclaren had been courting him since rbr because they wanted an experienced vet landito could play wid and, imo. Which is worth what it is. Danny ric picked an easy jump that was financially lucrative and the other aspects just didnt matter sm

The cult of...Danny Fenton?

So! Way back when Danny first moved into his new neighborhood in Gotham, he had some trouble controlling his Powers. The different Types and Levels of Ectoplasm in the air when compared to Amity had thrown off his control.

He was used to being in places where his Ectoplasm meshed well with the Atmosphere, like a Water Balloon in a Pool, but in Gotham that analogy would be closer to a Water Balloon in the sewers. It was too different from what he was used to to fully control his Powers.

So it's understandable that he messed up a few times and his neighbors found out about his Abilities.

They took it well at first, Danny wasn't going to go Rogues or anything, and he never used them maliciously, but eventually they got curious.

They asked what his limits were, how he got them in the first place, and what the hell the Ghost Zone was. The answers "None Really", "I died and was reborn", and "A Collective of every Afterlife at once" did spark some interesting reactions from them.

Most importantly, a few of them joked about him being an Eldritch God that they needed to worship. He was good enough friends with them that at that point they felt comfortable pranking eachother, so they did just that.

Danny woke up one day on his birthday, and saw all of his friends and neighbors surrounding the makeshift Throne they had made and put him on while he was asleep. The entire day they chanted stuff like "The Great One requires Ms. Smiths Apple Pie for his day of birth!" And "The Great One Wishes for us to sing the Ritual Song! Happy Birthday to You! Happy Birth-"

After his birthday, they kept up the joke.

It didn't help that his powers had evolved Again! And now he could bestow abilities onto his friends. The jokes they made about their God granting them Supernatural Powers to rule the world with were insufferable.

Then, one day while he was just resting at home, watching a movie on his TV, he felt a Pull at his Core. The same kind of Pull whenever he was being summoned. But why would they summon hi- Oh Shit! It's Mr Jenkins Party today! He was supposed to meet them at the Warehouse they used for special events an Hour Ago!

He quickly accepted the Summoning, but was met with a suprising sight. His Neighbors all tied up in a pile to his right, a spilled table of party food to his left, and right in front of him, Batman and his Family watching him with wary eyes.

Slowly, he opened his mouth. "...so, did you come for the party or..."
