People are really sleeping on the angst potential of the old Mario cartoons. I mean, they've got:

Luigi getting possessed by ghost goo (Gooigi's villain origin story?),

Mario getting brainwashed by Bowser and Ludwig and ordered to kill Luigi (who got stuck with SMB3's worst Power-Up),

Mario getting zombified and immediately going for Luigi's throat (props to Walker Boone for just how scared he made Mario sound right before he lost himself),

Luigi and Yoshi slowly turning into chickens and attacking Mario and Peach over junk food,

Luigi being turned into an egg and the Koopalings having no chill about the fact that if said egg breaks, then Luigi's just dead. No ifs or buts about it.

**taps a spoon to a glass** Attention, attention please, I would like to make a toast, to people who have fallen.

Be it Captain Lou Albano, Danny Wells, Rick May, Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Technoblade and many others.

They have lived wonderful, long lives and have made our lives greater, putting smiles on our faces, and made childhoods for lots of us.

From acting, comics, and voice acting, and so, so much more. May they fly high and their legacies know past generations and generations to come.

*raises glass*

To them! To them, to the moments they've made, and to their legacy!

Holy shit I love these two

(Yes I know these aren’t the most flattering images of the two)

We need more Mario super show love =]

We Were Soldiers lives in my head rent-free at all times.

Pure Winter Soldier version under the cut.

I love Danny Well's Luigi so much, I wish he were my uncle or something.

The Depths of Danny Wells

Today, a tribute to Danny Wells (Jack Westelman, 1941-2013), a distinctive and memorable comedy character actor who was fairly ubiquitous on television when I was a kid in the ’70s. Tall and lean, I would put him in a class as a type with Charlie Callas (minus the contortions) and Joe Flaherty. Today, Adrien Brody reminds me a little of him. He was frequently cast as bartenders, waiters, and…

[bubblefine]

you're barking up the wrong tree there dude. or, haunting up the wrong apartment imao

this was obviously inspired by this post by the awesome account of @nicktoons-unite-incorrect-quotes !

Danny is sitting inside Jitters sipping his coffee and watching Flash get his ass absolutely handed to him across the street by Captain Cold. He thinks Flash is having one of Those Days cause this is honestly getting really hard to watch.

And that’s Danny ‘King-of-scrappy-I-will-throw-sand-in-your-eyes-for-an-advantage’ Nightingale saying that. Alas there is no sand here. Only concrete. 

Oh, those ice beams are getting awful close. Oh wow, okay, maybe the Flash is going to actually die right now. Is Danny about to witness murder? Huh.

Okay. Maybe he should…help. Now.

He's supposed to be invincible - DC X DP

Just something random that came to my mind.

So, Danny ends up being adopted/fostered by Bruce just months before Damian arrives at the manor, the how and why is your choice, but the GIW is still a threat. 

Now, Danny catches Damian attacking Tim the first time and instead of telling the rest of the family or scolding Damian, he went lik:

“You haven't even defeated me, and you think you have a right to attack Tim? Get in line, kid.”

And so Damian understands that to get the right to fight against Tim, he needs to get rid of Danny first. Climb the power pyramid, if you will. And so, Damian starts his assassination attempts against Danny. 

But here's the thing: Danny is making absolutely no effort to stop him, he just takes the attempts. The first time, Damian successfully stabs Danny, and goes to announce his victory over Danny to his father. Bruce rushes to Danny, worried for his safety, and finds him just chilling there, not a single drop of blood or injury. Damian is gapping.

“Oh yeah, the kid beat me in a round of hide and seek. He’s pretty good.”

Bruce is relieved and pats Damian’s head, not noticing his utter confusion. And so a cartoon-like montage starts: Damian attacks Danny and claims victory, but Danny is completely fine, and says Damian won at some random game. Everyone thinks the two are super close, and that Damian’s excitement about winning is super cute. 

Eventually, positive enforcement wears Damian down, because everyone congratulates him and gives him affection for winning the “stupid things” Danny comes up with. He gradually calms down and integrates pretty well. Danny does end up being his closest sibling because he’s the only one that actually knows all of Damian. The only one Damian could attack with zero restraint and still be treated the same. 

But the important thing here is: Danny becomes an invincible figure in Damians mind. He could be stabbed, decapitated, poisoned, and still come back like nothing happened.

So surely, when Phantom is shot out of the sky by a Blood Blossom, surely he’ll just stand back up in a minute like always. Surely, he’s just waiting to get back to the cave to pretend like he always did for Damian. Surely, he’s just putting on a show on the medbay. 

But hours go by, and he’s still pretending. Still looking pale. Still keeping his eyes closed.

Damian doesn’t understand why he hasn’t bounced back yet. He should be okay by now. Alfred is moving around, changing the IV,dabbing Danny’s head with a damp cloth. There’s commotion outside as everyone is trying to get an antidote.

But this shouldn’t be happening. 

Danny is invincible.

Danny should be back to normal already.

So Damian starts shaking Danny. Screaming to stop pretending and tell them he was beaten in some stupid game again. To open his eyes already. 

Father is pulling him away, trying to calm him down, but he keeps struggling in his arms, because he’s getting Danny to wake up. 

And he doesn’t notice the tears falling down his face until he runs out of energy, and all that’s left is hiccuping in his father’s arms.

...

So… yeah, that’s what my mind supplied today while on the bus :)

Maybe one day I'll write it, but I don't have time, so I would love to see someone else's take on it.

Dannymay 2025: Day 4 - Eyes

An eldritch horror!Phantom au in which Danny's boyfriend is a monstrosity beyond human comprehension and he makes that everyone's problem lol

I just love the thought of everyone else being horrified when they see Phantom yet Danny is so nonchalant. He just wants to cuddle with his boyfriend why is everyone screaming??

How I imagine the dynamic:

[chubby-p1nk]

Tim was following a trail of drug dealers when he found himself in a veeery dark room. Imagine his surprise when he found himself face to face with a pair of pretty glowing green eyes! (He didn't hear or see anything- HOW THE HELL??) And oh boy, he's floating? AND HE'S HANDSOME- He can feel his ears burning

Danny on the other hand is just amaze by how pretty Red Robin is with even the mask on! (And upside down)

I didn’t finish the other version of this where they’re both biblically accurate lol

Day 2: sep.8 Strange
