Told my sister about my Grim Reaper Danny lore and she was like "WHY?! JUST WHY?! Give the kid a BREAK!" and I'm just resisting the urge to laugh maniacally.

By the way, Sims 4 has a new pack that lets you work as a Grim Reaper. I will enjoy properly putting the boy to work.

Ghost in the League

So I just read AGIT and yes all the lore drop is absolutely beautiful I took so many notes, but.

Look at this pair of outfit Danny has when they glitch through time:

Now look at red hooded ninja Jason and ninja/warrior Danny:

Do anyone see my vision??

PS.: they both have similar weapons. Some kind of east asian style straight sword/dao:

PPS: Danny didn't get to actually fight in the that outfit which is a bummer, and Jason's sword may or may not have turned into a katana somewhere between scenes.

Ok so you know how there are a bunch of ‘summoning Ghost King’ AUs? And how in both the DC universe and the DP universe (from what I’m aware of) the wall separating the spirit realm and the living realm is weakened during Halloween?

What if a group (cultists, justice league, teen titans, anyone) summon the Ghost King (otherwise known as the Balancer Of Two Worlds) and Danny shows up in his Halloween costume. More specifically, he gets summoned while dressed up as the Grim Reaper.

And thus, because Danny is awkward as all hell sometimes and just says shit, the summoners end up thinking Danny is the actual Grim Reaper.

Chaos ensues

Life gives, and Death takes away.

Too bad Life doesn't understand why Death takes, and doesn't want to see how Death nourishes Life

With all the DPxDC crossovers here I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone take a stab at giving Danny the Absolute treatment. That is, reimagining his story with one crucial element removed.

My pitch: Danny without the ghost zone.

In this universe, there is no separate dimension that only ghosts inhabit. They're all in our world but can't be seen by people most of the time.

Jack and Maddie still built the portal, believing in a ghost zone, but all it did was collect ambient ghost energy and release it onto Danny. After that it just went inert.

Not only is this a big change in how the DP universe works but it would give another challenge to Danny. He can't simply catch ghosts and release them into the Ghost Zone. Instead he's left with three options.

Help resolve the ghost's issues, letting them find peace and/or move on.

Destroy them.

Trap them in the thermos and leave them there until 1 or 2 are possible.

Being forced to keep ghosts imprisoned indefinitely or flat-out destroy them would take its toll on Danny, and depending on what his support system is like in this universe, could make things even worse for him.

(Irt support personally I like some variation of this.)

Church Grim!Danny and/or Danny The Black Dog

Picture this!

Danny gets buried (alive) in a coffin in a cemetery in Gotham by the Fentons. There’s enough ectoplasm to sustain him but he can’t get free of the coffin. Eventually he builds enough power to manifest a shadow of a spectral form as The Black Dog, a Church Grim. The shadowy omen of death tasked to guard the graves and souls of those resting there.

But wait! There’s more!

During this time someone claws their way from their grave, one Jason Todd a body without a complete soul. Danny tries to follow Jason, to protect, to guard, but he can’t leave the cemetery.

Fast forward to Jason’s return to Gotham. For as unsettling as being near his grave can be, Jason always feels safe in the cemetery. That feeling never staying with him past the gates and sometimes… Sometimes he sees a shadowy figure of a dog with eyes brighter green than the Lazarus pits.

The dog seems to be trying to lead him somewhere that isn’t Jason’s grave. It takes so long, too long for Jason to follow the Grim to an unmarked grave. And longer still for Jason to get up the nerve to dig up the grave and find the comatose boy within.

Danny doesn’t know how to go back to his body, he’s been apart so long. He’s been The Black Dog for so long.

I LOVE me some characters who lie. Little lying liars, fibbers, untruthers. The biggest liars on the planet. It's in their blood, in their soul, they'll lie about anything from what they had for breakfast to what they feel about the death of a loved one. They'll lie to anyone and everyone. They'll lie the most to themselves. They'll lie because it's all they know how to do, all they've ever done. And when they tell the truth it's only to ever further the reach of the untruths they've already sown. And they lie the worst when they want to be believed. When they want someone to figure out the truth. Because they can't tell it to you themselves. Riddle-makers; you'll have to find the answer yourself. You've got to be crafty enough to find it.

Totally Forgot to upload these :sob: Magma Doodles :3 + Grim/Danny's Thoughts on everyone (kinda) because hes totally not my favorite or anything XD/silly

Since being killed by Phantom and becoming a grim reaper, Danny has been picking up the dead he leaves in his wake and, occasionally, playing the role of his conscience.

[itshype]

Work Experience (DC x DP)

Before he can take his place as King, Danny has to familarise himself with his peoples' cultures. Most ghosts are made knowing all sorts of things about ghost law (for example the Christmas Truce), ghost etiquette and ghost history. Danny got none of that because he's not technically dead.

He spends a year working on maintenance for the Ghost Colosseum in Pandora's Haunt. She offered for him to do exhibition matches as a gladiator but he knew all he needed to about fighting already, he really wanted to learn something in his time here. He didn't know it but that had constituted the passing of Pandora's little test.

He spends a few months working as an Orderly for the Far Frozen as it would take far to long to learn enough to substantially contribute to healing even a single blob ghost.

He spends one week with Undergrowth and Nocturne examining the forces that governed the natural world. Unfortunately, Danny was physically incapable of seeing 'the threads connecting all things across all dimensions' and they kicked him out. Undergrowth filed an official petition to take Sam as his apprentice after her death. Danny said he would consider it and put it aside to show her next time he was 'topside'.

He was slated to spend the greatest amount of time as a Grim Reaper. Unlike humans thought, the dead could get to where they needed to be without any difficulty. It was the not-quite-dead who needed more help. Help to decide if it was worth going back, help to cross the final line if that was what they really needed, help coming back again and again for metas and aliens with preternatural healing.

Once Danny figured out there was a whole species of Ghost who should have helped him through the portal incident, he'd reached out to CW demanding answers as to why he'd had to muddle through on his own. The god of time was ironically, ghosting him, though.

Funnily enough, the Grims are thrilled he's there. As never-alive ghost beings, they often struggle with the best way to complete their work - they've never felt the pressures of being alive or confronted the fear of death or had to assimilate the truth of the afterlife into their worldview. So they basically immediately give Danny all their hardest jobs.

People who really, really should be moving on, their time is up but they just won't let go? People who are ready to depart but their body won't let their soul depart? That one asshole who's soul is cursed to be immortal? Those are Danny's cases. He handles it with as much humour and compassion as he can.

In an unrelated matter, several months into Danny's newest jobs, at a Justice League casual event, several heroes get to talking. Turns out several of them have had near-death experiences recently and they all shared the same hallucination as they went towards the light. Time to investigate.

DPxDC - Grimm Romance

Why did it only just cross my mind the amazingness of Anger Management in which Jazz is a Tol Werewolf??

It's Little Red Riding Hood & the Big Bad Wolf!!

I'm such an idiot!

I can practically hear Jason commenting on how tall she is only for Danny's influence to peek through with "All the better to tease you with."

There's a beat of silence as they both process her words. At the same time, Jazz apologizes profusely while Jason demands to the universe how he freaking missed that??

She snorts as he bemoans that he can't bring her to dinner with the family now because they'd ALL find out & NONE OF THEM would let him live it down!

Dickwing & Replacement especially!!

Though, now that I think about it... Suddenly, most of my DP ships now have a distinct His & Hers Halloween Costume theme to them.

Werewolf Jazz x Jason (Big Bad Wolf & Red Riding Hood)

Danny x Sam (Hades x Persephone)

Tucker x Valerie (Pharaoh x Amazon)

It practically writes itself!
