Something something Danny learns that Jason died and crawled out of his own grave.
Danny, to Jason: You actually got a grave?
Jason: Why? You want one?
He doesnā€™t notice how this could potentially sound like a threat from an outsiderā€™s perspective.

As per usual, itā€™s DP crossover with (probably) DC, although you could probably adjust it for other fandoms
ANYWAYS
A little kid and his mother are trick or treating in another city, perhaps at some kind of event rather than knocking on doors, and the kid is dressed as Phantom. Itā€™s very adorable, with his little ghost-shaped bucket and clearly homemade and already stained costumeā€”listen, white only works if you can just fly over street grime or phase it out of your clothesā€”and his slightly Iā€™ll fitting wig. The kid is SO happy to be out and about dressed as his favorite, and maybe even showed it off to Phantom back in Amity Park before his family left.
The hero, insert whoever you wish here, is probably in civvies and just enjoying the event. The kid, meanwhile, is so glad when people ask who he is so he can explain, and so- the hero gets to hear ALL ABOUT the local town hero who is probably pretty small time despite the kidā€™s clearly exaggerated stories. The hero certainly never heard of him, but the kidā€™s mom confirms that Phantom really was the town hero, despite some mixed reviews of the poor guy.
ā€œDid you manage to show him your costume?ā€ the hero asks.
ā€œYeah! We went down to the cemetery to leave flowers and I got to show him my costume.ā€
Wait. Cemetery? Maybe it was part of theme, because Phantom had to be named that for a reason, butā€¦ it sounded likeā€¦
The kid ignores the suddenly VERY still hero and instead turns to his mom. ā€œMomma, do you think we should bring him candy? He doesnā€™t get to trick or treat like we do, and I can work super hard to get him a bunch!ā€
The kidā€™s mom just smiles. ā€œWe could, but maybe we should bring him something homemade. I bet heā€™d like something more filling, teen boys like him have a hollow leg.ā€
The kid wrinkles his nose. ā€œLike Vernie with the pizza bagels?ā€
ā€œLike your cousin, yes. We can make some cinnamon rolls and take them to his memorial, maybe bring some of the apples from your grandpaā€™s gardenā€¦ā€
The hero is pretty much forgotten as the two-part family wanders off, not quite intentionally forgetting the hero is there so much as the hero somewhat accidentally ended the conversation when they just froze and didnā€™t ask anything further.
Not that the hero didnā€™t want to. But theyā€™d learn something very serious.
Oneā€”there was a small town hero theyā€™d never heard of. Twoā€”that hero was apparently a teen. Thirdā€”most pressingly, the teen hero was both beloved enough to have kids dressing up as him and dead enough to have a grave.
Thisā€¦ might require some phone calls.
#dpxdc#danny phantom crossover#meanwhile Danny. sitting on a giant marble slab that has the most ridiculous gag gifts a ghost could ever ask for#heā€™s just like Oh Sweet Cinnamon Rolls!#he would try to convince people to bring him nasty burger but while val has MOSTLY gotten over her vindictive anger at Phantom DOES decide#that sheā€™s gonna be petty and add cilantro to everything#because Danny has the cilantro soap gene#jokes on her heā€™ll still eat it#Danny likes his little memorial in the grave. it helps settle him sometimes. also heā€™s gotten to know the security guards for the cemetery#theyā€™re fun. a bit morbid. they LIKE his jokes so you can stuff it JAZZ#MEANWHILE the hero. Whomstever they are but like 90% of you are thinking either batfam or Justice league#are having just. a TOUCH of a crisis#now they gotta figure out where the kid and his mom are from without either of them figuring out#dealerā€™s choice on what the GIW and why Amity Park isnā€™t on the radar#Iā€™ll add my two cents bc when donā€™t I but Iā€™m by and large not likeā€¦ dictating this? anyways#I like making the GIW just a BIT more incompetent or just having some massive flaws as an organizational group#so they keep forgetting to tell people to not LEAVE and to keep quiet#average amity Parker if the GIW tried this anyways: aw thatā€™s cute. anyways-#and if itā€™s dc I guess you need to figure out how the jl never found out. so#i mean thereā€™s a LOT of heroes and cities in dc#and amity park is just lost to the noise or. bc Fenton bad luck#every time Danny tried to call. the jl had some insane disaster and or their systems were down#he eventually figured he might actually be cursed- juryā€™s still out on that -and heā€™s saving lives by just handling it himself#he can handle rhe metaphorical mega thunderstorms if it means he doesnā€™t accidentally summon a fucking tsunami to hit the planet ya know?#the kid and the mom have no idea that what they said was Odd#they are just so used to it. amity park already was using death puns and had an. interesting history and relation with death#even BEFORE there was a dead kid flying around in his white gogo boots

Thinking about DP x DC Jason Todd being a revenant again. Here's my scenario. Jason gets called that by some ghost. He's like "what the fuck is that supposed to mean?" He's heard the term before but he doesn't know any actual lore. He googles it. He scrolls past the Leonardo DiCaprio bear movie. He opens the wiki. Sees the words "animated corpse" and gets a chill diwn his spine. He starts reading the first section.
Tumblr media
He closes Wikipedia.
That night he has a nightmare that his family buried him, again, this time with precautions. He wakes up in his own grave, full of stones, too heavy to move, to scream.

Jamie transfers to Arsenal or whatever and everyone spends the entire season talking about him like he's dead and they're playing football to honor his memory. They're always like "we have to work together. It's what Jamie would've wanted šŸ„ŗ" meanwhile Jamie is like 5 miles away on his lunch break watching someone play with slime on TikTok

Floweyā€™s so funny and has me so fucked up like heā€™s a talking flower. He tries to kill you upon your first interaction. He is ten years old. He is damaged beyond repair. Heā€™s a flower named Flowey. Heā€™s become friends with every single character. Heā€™s killed all of them countless times. He knows everything about everyone. He doesnā€™t care anymore. He takes care of his mom when she canā€™t take care of herself. Heā€™s killed her before. He doesnā€™t care if you kill her. He thinks sheā€™s trying to replace him. He just wants to be himself again. He wants to destroy everything. He hates you. Youā€™re the only one who understands him. He wants his best friend back. Heā€™s terrified of them. He believes in kill or be killed because he died by giving mercy to the wrong person. He believes himself to be the wrong person. He doesnā€™t understand when you show him that kindness he showed others, even when you know he could kill you for it. Heā€™s tried every route. He asks you if you have anything better to do when you try to do the same. Heā€™s a direct reflection of the player. Heā€™s a fucking talking flower named flowey and his only voice line is by Ronald McDonald and his officially licensed plush does a little dance for you

The correct meaning
Danny didn't know that the first thing he would do when he retired from being a hero would be to open a flower shop, but he found that flowers brought him peace. Maybe it had something to do with commemorating the dead, or with his lack of a headstone, but flowers were soothing.
Ghosts never messed with them, they were almost sacred in the Infinite Realms, and with the help of his friends he researched the meaning of all of them. Besides carrying a small dictionary because he didn't have a photographic memory.
Unfortunately, he couldn't open his flower shop in Amity, his parents made the whole thing very awkward and he didn't know if he would be able to make a bouquet that would go to that cemetery, a cemetery where he didn't belong.
So he opened his store in Gotham, where his sister was staying. He bought a small place and went about tending to his plants. He tended to anyone and gave them a little bouquet depending on what he saw in them. Ivy seemed delighted.
Jason didn't know what to think of hid bouquet with orange lilies, lavender, hyacinths and gardenias. It was certainly an odd combination, and he didn't know why the florist looked so determined to give him the bouquet, but he accepted it, the boy looked happy about it before going back to work.
A week later he gave him a different bouquet, and Jason wondered if he was going crazy, was the florist flirting with him or had he read too many books?

halfas are the found family trope foster child
they all adopt each other. itā€™s the reason Vlad wanted so badly to have Danny as his son and the reason Danny immediately went with sure youā€™re my cousin now with Dani. itā€™s a survival mechanism from being so very few of their species. Sooo, halfa!Jason except he sorta isnā€™t yet cause Jasonā€™s core is extremely ruptured from the lack of ectoplasm involved in his forceful resurrection. So when Danny finds Jason in his catatonic state he canā€™t quite tell the dudeā€™s been dead and remains some, just that the guy for some reason seems very friend-shaped. Danny doesnā€™t mind his friend is braindead, and is also a john doe, he gives familiar vibes and thatā€™s apparently enough for Danny to constantly find himself in the hospital doing his engineering homework on the room with the guy, and talking for hours about the updates on the absolute clusterfuck of the city and how he was from a freaking ghost town and he can almost even draw comparisons. he blabbers about how heā€™s not homesick enough times to even corner himself to talk about a ghost lore many times and how heā€™s just finding himself a little more prone to violence and in constant pain since none of the people he has adopted as his family are here with him and he canā€™t consider a place a lair if thereā€™s isnā€™t someone of his in it.
But Danny could never drag someone with him just because of some it, after all it was Dannyā€™s choice to come to Gotham to collage and not stay where at least his parents (good parents Jack and Maddie) were in Amity.
Ironically, Danny essentially canā€™t feel that his core has been spoon feeding ectoplasm to Jason. As months go on, the little ball of energy builds in anticipation practically vibrating in the waiting pulse of something (Danny doesnā€™t know but more often than not has he found himself laughing in happy confusion. it weirds him out in a good way) Itā€™s really that heā€™s feeling the slow healing process of his friend (brother brother brother) ā€˜s core.Imagine itā€™s just about to properly, correctly heal when canon strikes back and Jason gets snatched by League assassins. Danny is left feeling like his core got torned out. His core had spend months helping anotherā€™s only to feel the otherā€™s imprint and to not be able to protect it in return isā€” forget it being an obsession; thats like having your newborn baby being ripped out of your arms. An all assuaging feeling of helplessness that is devastating. Danny just beginning to feel like home lair when out of nowhere the rug is swept under him. Danny suddenly struggling to not flunk all his classes and beat every single liminal that he can feel crossing paths with him to the ground. Danny suddenly having his chronic pain (that hadnā€™t been so bad lately) dialed up to the point that there are just bearable and bad days.
The worse thing is he doesnā€™t know why.
Jason had only been a guy.
ā€¦
Itā€™s only a three weeks before Jazz tells him she accepted a job offer in Gotham.
(and the guilt only makes him feel worse when he can feel himself feel better because of it)
ā€¦
now
whimsical time skip āœØ
Danny is now on his feet again and friends with a Wayne of your choice (or maybe they were friends a little before Jay dissapeared and it was badTM cause Waynes? liminal šŸ„²) Danny definitely didnā€™t enjoy snapping off to his friend like that. anyways itā€™s been a year since that and he and his friend are having a grand time playing civvies, uhh letā€™s say dick because I want them to meet while ice skating, Also Dick because he definitely turns a blind eye when Danny goes airborne for a second there yep. Heā€™s just having too much fun.
anyways as alwaysTM Danny doesnā€™t clock celebrities and like why would he, Dick is just the random guy whoā€™s was fast to turn Dannyā€™s slow day in the ice ring into a competition one day and brighten when Danny matched up his puns. So he totally doesnā€™t get why the guyā€™s so gloomy one day, anyways as you can figure, itā€™s Jasonā€™s deathday and Dick is a deprecating bean, Danny tries to cheer him up by having him remember his brother instead and Dick attempts to, but even skipping through some photos in his phone make his eyes burn.
It is because of that that he doesnā€™t notice Danny absolutely freeze up at the photo of his friend Jay (Jay because heā€™s a John Doe, but thatā€™s just too impersonal and so the first letter is J *wink wink*)
Danny absolutely doesnā€™t know what to do with this information, barely catches himself from asking Dick how did his brother die. Most importantly when because Danny just saw Jayā€”Jason less than a year ago, and this somehow doesnā€™t feel too recent.
Annd that how we find Danny digging into the Wayne second son tragedy. Staring at the date of death while the knowledge that they met almost six months after burns his forefront of his mind. Danny spends a day going over all the questions running through his mind over how the fuck he couldnā€™t sense Jay was a ghostā€”err wasā€¦ in past tense?? what the fuck?? Danny would really like a refund on his ghost sense.
Anyways Danny goes check out the grave (now that he knows there is one) and boom although intangible he somehow triggers those shitty ass sensors/alarms that somehow didnā€™t go off when jason was literally digging himself out.
Obviously the bats get in the case immediately. And boy are they absolutely enraged that someone would steal Jasonā€™s body.

Something I've been thinking about over the past week is that Rachel's expectation over whose death would fuck Jake up the hardest vs. whose death actually fucked Jake up the hardest wasn't right, and how that says so much about their characters and how it also hurts really badly.
Now, don't get me wrong: I'm not saying that Jake wasn't affected by losing Tom, because he very obviously was. Tom was his entire reason for joining the war in the first place and part of him held onto hope until the end that Tom could still be saved. And I'm also not saying that Rachel didn't think Jake didn't care about her at all, because that's not true either. She knows Jake does, but that he's doing what he has to do.
But when you think back to the conversation they have when Jake gives her the assignment, and he tells her that he won't have a way out for her, Rachel's concern for him isn't how her death would affect him, but Tom's. "It won't just be the yeerk. It'll be Tom." And while she acknowledges that of course Jake doesn't want her to die in her opening narration in book #54 and is making this call because he has to, at the same time there isn't a sense that Rachel thinks her death is going to be the one to hit him hardest here. It's Tom's, she's sure of it. Emotionally, Jake could afford to lose her, but Tom? That one gives her pause.
But one year after the war . . . again, Jake does still mourn Tom, obviously. He carries the guilt and grief of everything. But one of the strongest images of #54 that has always stuck with me is Jake sitting at Rachel's grave for several hours at a time, after hours, with regularity. It sticks out to me because you know Tom must have had a grave or memorial as well, I'm sure Jake's parents would've had one set up, but in all of Marco's stalking he doesn't see Jake sit and visit with it. Jake doesn't visit Tom. He visits Rachel.
And it just, to me, speaks to a complete subversion of Rachel's expectations, which were predicated on her own perception of how the rest of the team saw her. They "loved [her] in their way" but she was also a monster, blood thirsty, the garbage disposal, the one to do the dirty work. And she was as fine with that as she wasn't. (It was the biggest point of inner conflict for herā€”the war between her fear and her need to appear brave, her need to protect her friends from the gruesome vs her revulsion at what her actions said and made her out to be, etc.) Jake cared, sure, but also he saw her as a blood knight who might as well die in battle because that was her role, that was what SHE did, better her than anyone else on the team. Jake knew that, it would help him recover from his correct choice, far more than he could ever recover from losing Tom, whoā€”unlike Rachelā€”was wholly innocent.
But Jake didn't recover. Because yes, he loved Tom and Tom was a wholly innocent victim from day one. And Rachel was overtly aggressive, and reckless, and part of her scared him, as much for her as anything else. But also, he talked to and fought and bled beside her for three traumatizing, agonizing years. They saw the best and worst of each other. Jake left her in charge when he had to leave on that trip. They talked about leadership after, about hard choices, understood each other on a level that would lead to that final choice in the last battle. Rachel couldn't see it because she couldn't see her value in the team as anything other than the brute and garbage disposal, but she WAS more than that, to Jake. She meant so much more to him than that, and it hurts so bad that she didn't realize it.

something happening on a mission, something personal that has soap spiralling; panic and rage making him reckless, thoughtless, and ghost has to draw the line
ā€œyouā€™re compromised johnny; you know what that means?ā€
ā€œyouā€™re not pulling me out,ā€ soap immediately snarls. he turns on him and ghost barely recognises him; venomous fear turning his eyes to unyielding ice. "you're not sidelining me; i need to be in this-!"
but ghost has never been afraid of venom; spat or dripped straight from bared fangs.
he snakes out a hand grip the back of his neck, jerking him in a rough shake. "if you can't think, you can't be a soldier," he growls and he flinches like he's been struck.
his lips quiver as they twist in a sneer and he wrenches, trying to free himself of his hold.
ghost doesn't let him.
"it means you give your body to me because your head ain't fucking attached to it anymore."
soap stills, body trembling beneath his hand as he sucks in shaking breaths.
he tightens his grip, pulling him closer and digs his forehead hard into his. ā€œit means you give yourself to me so i can have the weapon that you are and use you the way you're meant to be used."
the ice in soap's eyes fractures.
ghostā€™s voice drops to a whisper, spoken only to johnny, not this facade of vengeance and pain, and wills it to reach him through the glaciers.
ā€œso i can keep you safe ā€˜til itā€™s done and i can bring you back.ā€
#in my head its bc graves abducts his sister and is using her as hostage to draw him out knowing ghost will always follow him#but the intensity and intimacy of saying ā€˜you cant trust your mind not to betray you so let me be in charge of your body until you canā€™#after what happened to tommy he could never deny johnny his right to save his sister#but its bc of what happened to tommy that he knows he cant let him do it alone with only his rage to guide him#hes more likely to get himself killed and ghost wont live through that#so he has to balance it#and the only way he knows how is to completely shut down soapā€™s mind until hes no more than instinct and muscle memory#if he cant think practically then dont let him think at all#reduce him to a place where he can only follow orders#and when its finally over and his sister is safe and graves is dead#only then will he drag johnny back up to the surface#heā€™ll do it even if it means dragging him kicking and screaming back to humanity#instead of letting him sink in the depths where nothing hurts. theres no fear down there. no pain. only order#and thats the risk ghost took sending johnny to that place but he only did it bc he would stop at nothing to bring him back#and help him through the after#the breakdown. the rush of panic and rage and relief and anguish johnnys been supressing on his order#it was his word that turned johnny into a ghost#and its his touch that brings him back to the man#coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt#weā€™re a team. ghost team#cod#soapghost#ghostsoap#ghost x soap#ghoap#simon ghost riley#ghost cod#john soap mactavish#soap cod#save post

You know, i've been thinking about the way Batman keeps danger and weapons so close to his body, so tight to himself, practically tied around his neck, that joker often has no way left but to grab for him if he wants something Batman has. Batman does not want to be left out of Joker's plans, his story, he wants in on Joker's narrative by any means he can make it happen. It's such particular "you take me with you wherever you are, it's your punishment, just as it's my punishment to take you with me wherever i am" statement. Batman actively leaves no choice for Joker but to get very very close to him and claim him as part of his win or his loss. I mean,
Tumblr media
he didn't have to. he could've put the key in one of his waist pouches, push it into the back of his left boot, he could've tied it around his bicep, i dont careā€” he could've done whateverthefuck with it. But he had to put it around his neck, and intentionally invite Joker to "come and get it". Something something classic cliche of the way lovers' bond is signified by a necklace-adjacent item and the way they interact with it; hold unto it, toss it, tie it around their necks, giving it back, not giving it back, necklaces as items of reverance and revenge. Something something a tie around neck being a sign of being claimed and owned,
