DPxDC Confident!Danny

Okay, sure, I'm always down for a teenager Danny who is on the run/adopted by Batfam/needs therapy and cuddles. The young and tired Danny who just wants comfort so hard. Beautiful.

But.

What about a slightly morally gray adult Danny? The one who is not afraid of turning into Dan anymore, because 1) Clockwork already erased that future, and 2) he knows himself, and he knows what he wants and what he is capable of. It's not like there are only two ways - world destruction and the perfect hero.

Danny, who embraces being the King of Infinite Realms. Danny, who actually doesn't mind doing whatever the fuck he wants, going by his own moral compass. Danny, who knows he is powerful and doesn't bother trying to hide it. Danny with an attitude "I am what I am, don't like me - get lost".

He is still kind, sure, but he is not a people-pleaser. He can be a King, a hero, an anti-hero, a mercenary, a civilian, and even a vilain occasionally if he wants to. All at once.

Anyway, this has been sitting in my drafts for so long that I wrote a fic out of it.

The Famiglia pt. 1

(I am going to try and make this as coherent as possible. I know the FBI agent behind my laptop is tripping balls right now at the sheer amount of sus tabs I have open)

Mafia rules emphasize submission to the authority of superiors, loyalty to organization members, disciplined obedience to orders, and secrecy. The business of organized crime shifts according to the lucrativeness of markets that can be tapped by both legitimate and illegitimate activities. The amorphous quality of its structure makes organized crime difficult for governments to counter. Whether the operation is nominally legitimate or thoroughly illegitimate, organized crime gives priority to the maximization of profit without concern for conformity to the law.

The term "Mafia" refers to the various Families or groups of gangsters involved in organized crime. Most of these Mafia Families can trace their heritage back to Italy, predominantly Sicily. The Mafia is broadly divided into 5 groups based on the region where they operate or where they originated from; all the major Mafia gangs are involved in criminal enterprises all over the world and have bases in many nations. Bianca and her family are a part of the Camorra Mafia, which originated in the region of Campania, whose capital is Naples. It's believed to be one of the oldest and largest criminal organizations in Italy, theorized to be dating to the 17th century. Each regional mafia is made up of various families or gangs; the number may range from a few to hundreds, depending on the region. The Camorra is considered by the Italian Government to be the most violent, murderous, and feared criminal organization in Italy, with the FBI considering the Camorra to be among “the most powerful, technologically advanced, well-equipped, sophisticated and dangerous crime syndicates in the world” with a semi-militarized operation. (Within the Jojo world, I like to think this is due to the sheer amount of Stands that are utilized in the Families)

Each family has separate business dealings and tends to try and stay out of each other's way, though sometimes their business enterprises may intermingle to an extent, depending on their proximity to each other and the nature of the business; often times there are arranged marriages between mafia families so as not only benefit the business but to avoid conflict as well.

While most families have similar structures, there can be slight differences. The leader of each family is the Boss or the Don, the one who made all major decisions and whose authority is absolute- the Don is judge, jury, and can be executioner as well; this is Bianca. Beneath the Don is the Underboss, the second in command; in some families, the Underboss is trained to succeed the Don in the event of Don's death or retirement, especially if there are no heirs; in this case, Bianca's Underboss is Dean Zeppeli- her second cousin.

Between the Don and the Underboss is the Consigliere; he acts as an adviser to the Don and makes impartial decisions based upon fairness and for the good of the family rather than on personal vendettas or feelings. The Consigliere is the counselor and advisor to the boss, a trusted friend, and confidant- for Bianca, her Consigliere is Raphael Scacci, who also served her grandfather in such a capacity and often looked after her during adolescence; he is also the family lawyer, as well as handles the Zeppeli's legal business interests.

Beneath the Underboss are the Capos- those lieutenants who lead their own section of the family, which is made up of soldiers. The number of Capos varies between families as their number depends on the overall size of the family itself. The Capos run their own family territory but must follow the limitations and guidelines created by the Don, as well as pay him (or her) a cut of their profits. Capos can be nominated by the Underboss but are usually chosen by the Don. There are three Capos under Bianca: Leonardo Panello, Michelangelo Pomodori, and Donatello Ricotti; these three handle the illegal business.

Below the Capos are the soldiers, the enforcers of the family who have proved themselves and command respect from associates below them, despite being the lowest official mafia members. They do the dirty work and are the ones more often than not the ones arrested by the police, who are then bailed out either legally or by bribes. At the bottom are the associates, who are not actual members of the mafia but people who are involved in the criminal enterprise in one form or another- the mafia works through them. They may be burglars, assassins, lawyers, the police and judges, and even politicians who are on the mafia's payroll.

ok i swear i'm not going to talk about my breakup forever but the thing that just keeps bothering me:

i know that not getting what you need in a relationship is a COMPLETELY valid reason to end it but also. i feel like having a very vulnerable moment where i opened up about my struggles with intimacy and being relieved that i didn't have to keep doing things i wasn't comfortable with, then being dumped a YEAR later because of my lack of intimacy. is something i should be allowed to be very hurt by???
