Death Loves No One

Cause if he did he'd want to keep them forever

After obtaining the title as Ghost King and losing all his family, Danny started to feel lonely. He had friends, ghosts that would stay for eternity by his side but it wasn't the same. Danny felt that his personal connections were what kept him sane, the evenings with Clockwork calmed him down, but it wasn't the same calm that Jazz used to provide.

So, when he was given the title of Equilibrium it wasn't really a big deal. It was just another title among a thousand others, Clockwork advised him to visit earth to discover his purpose but also warned him that he would not look human.

Danny accepted it but didn't take it seriously, he couldn't help but get scared when people started screaming around him. He wasn't doing anything weird, he was visiting the cemetery, his family's graves, but everyone was running away scared.

He realized that since he lost Jazz (the last one to leave) he no longer looked human. He wondered if it was possible that someone might be interested in talking to him but dismissed it. Some people began to nickname him "Death" because all he did was stay in the cemetery.

That's why it was extremely rare to find a boy calling him every day and making a small talk, he became attached to the boy. The boy would visit different graves but always stayed to talk to him, never yelled, or called him a bad name. Danny couldn't help but love him the same way he loved his family.

He wasn't surprised that the boy died soon after (knowing him brought misfortune didn't it?), but he never stopped visiting the cemetery. So, when the boy rose from his grave completely disoriented, Danny wondered if it was somehow his fault.

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

going back to the origins of ‘roman empire’ when men said that they think about the roman empire at least once every day to say that jackieshauna is my roman empire.

Betel and Lydia's next deal should go like:

"I promised myself I wouldn't do this again, but I really need your help. And I swear that this time I actually will-"

"I want a picture. Of you. Last one I got is scratched all to hell and needed updating anyway. Not too much to ask is it? A new picture of my boo?"

"You had a...? Actually, never mind. Deal."

*some time later*

"Here." *hands him the picture*

"Oh wow, you actually paid! We're making real progress!"

*looks at it* *eyes bug out, tongue lolls out, he gives a wolf-whistle*

"HOLY FUCKING MOLY! Babes. Babes, I meant for my desk! Like a portrait pic! A safe-for-work photograph of your face. AndokIwashopingforsomecleavage but, but this is-"

"Um, well I-" *she tries to snatch it back*

"Oh, nononononono, I am keeping this!"

This was brought to you by my frustration that Betelgeuse never gets paid by Lydia. Cause he asked too much too soon of her. So he should ask for something more reasonable and get overpaid at least once. In the spirit of fairness and all that.

Ahh! I love this 😂✨

Talking about his photo being smashed, I hope Betelgeuse got to pick up an updated photo of Lydia at some point in the movie while he was loose. Maybe when he went away for a bit during their team-up. It's sad if Delores ruined his framed photo and he can't have a new one. He can always fix it, but it'd be nice if he got a new one.

Breaking up the Vaggie angst with some EMILY angst:

Imagine her whole spiel of “You can call me Em, Emmy, whatever” is because she’s both friendly but also DESPERATELY lonely. She’s the joybringer of Heaven and Sera is also canonically very protective; add onto that Heaven seems to have more of a divide between seraphim and the Winners compared to Hell and its Sinners with Charlie, and I find it fascinating to think Emily is just… very lonely and so eager to connect to someone, anyone that isn’t Sera or Peter.

it's a pretty lonely looking set up tbh

the heavenly group lining the walls, the powers or such all sitting together, and then...

Emily, small and young and overshadowed but will that special many tired halo like a crown, sitting up in that high box just with Sera

she leaves that spot so quick

is it a shock or just a sign of how lonely it was up there the whole time?

her willingness to give sinners a chance and listen to people from hell, is that her just being angelic in the kindest sense of the word, or is it her not feeling a strong enough bond with her heavenly fellows to stick with and side with them on instinct?

before that, she was so eager to walk with Charlie and Vaggie. she puts her visitors from HELL between her a Sera, and im sure Sera thought of it as, you know, bracketing potential trouble makers as they left ash stains on the gleaming golden streets-

maybe for Emily though there was a touch of wanting to have her own friends for a change. Peers.

If she's not thinking of all hell as trash then the princess of hell would be her peer, right? And said princess's girlfriend too obviously. and she's got an official reason to stick near them in heaven, a reason Sera would approve of

Sera, who Emily is seen sitting alone with in a room at the end of ep eight, just like she was alone with Sera in that high box during the trial

Sera who wants to protect and shield her from so much

there are parts of heaven, the true use of the Exorcist, Sera will hide from her

is the rest of heaven out of reach to Emily too?

Does being such a highly place seraphim but still junior to Sera trap in this liminal space of people not casually approaching her? Are most winners and angels up in heaven always either too awed by her or wanting something that Emily awkwardly has to defer until she's asked her older sister about?

look at how empty this is. how small Emily is compared to Sera and the room they're in

Is she so busy helping Sera run heaven that she doesn't get to enjoy it on any sort of personal level? If so, does she even know that's why she's so happy to be around ANYONE who isn't under the caring thumb of heaven's hierarchy...?

I'm so glad Pentious is up there now

and so is she

She could use a friend, I think.

Megatron is lonely.

He hasn’t ‘felt’ loneliness in a long time. But he was born into a community of miners, then a hive of gladiators. Mechs who knew each other intimately. Mechs who relied on one another to live.

He used to have Orion, Impactor, Terminus.. whatever mech was at his side hacking away at energon in the depths that day. A social bubble aware they were all struggling together.

Once the revolution begun it became painfully clear that he had to separate himself to be a leader. This happened naturally, but it made it no less painful. Soundwave was an ally, but not a friend. Starscream a friend of no one but his own ambition.

I like to think he missed the companionship for a while. Alone in his quarters, obsessing over charts and maps. In the bridge during the day bellowing commands at mechs whose names were only as important as their ability to hold a gun.

After a hard battle, a loss maybe, pacing alone through halls or around his room. His rage already taken out on who or whatever stood too close. The spark-deep need for sociality would inevitably ebb away as the war pushed onwards alongside other vital emotions.

And all he is left with is his hands.

not enough people talk about "dont turn the lights off" ngl. this song + the daycare theme song have been ON LOOP for me. on loop while i draw. on loop while i do chores and cook. on loop while i work. on loop if i need to concentrate on something- no ANYTHING. it's such a comfort to me. this song has a DEATH GRIP on me. WHIMSY UNMATCHED. you don't understand how much this song fuels me to keep creating DCA content for myself ohhh my god.

"lights on" doesn't even compare for me (WHICH OFC i like the song + with the recent release of "best friend" im still giddy)

which, i feel the need to add, this song is pivotal for my motivation to write EBY (wip dca fic im working on rn). like idk i feel invincible when this song plays ig lmao.
