#i should try writing an actual little ficlit or whatever it's called

[spaceghostbuddy]

one day, the blobs came back with a strange magical artifact. it had so much residue of ectoplasm on it that it acted like a reflection for danny to see the real world in and so he loved it. however being a six feet tall ornate mirror and it's drawbacks and so danny came up with a terrible brilliant plan. he broke the mirror so he could carry around a big piece. victor and nora help him cover in the edges so he won't cut his hand. he was happy about it however this lead to his quickly loosing track of all the shards of glass.

eventually the justice league dark managed to track down the cause of the hate curse that spread. it turned out that shards danny lost would end up scratching or in people's possessions and so the rage filled ectoplasm, that didn't really affect danny's area because of all the ectoplasm from him and the blobs, caused people to act out in anger. so the justice league dark decided to ask danny if he knew a way to fix it. a few heroes have tried to approach danny before, but perceiving them as a threat he either hid or pushed them away. once the justice league dark got to danny, which for some reason involved beating santa (who was trying to convince danny to join his side), danny was horrified at what happened and sent the blob ghosts to clean up the mess. the justice league dark also happened to get a small mini kinda member in their ranks that day.

Danny's portal accident has left him blind.

Not fully blind, he can see ecto entities just fine actually, but everything else he cannot.

Danny is left stranded in the ghost zone after the portal collapsed behind him and just left him on a random floating island, he's terribly wounded because a literal tear between worlds opened on him and then just spat him out and closed itself.

So, he isn't having a great time.

Then he gets found by a pack of blob ghosts, who instantly swarm him and just kinda... drag him away basically. Then Danny is given some cloak (His own were damaged to the Ancients and back, also they stole the cloak off a guy a long time ago), some bandages over his eyes and for some reason Blob ghosts are really good at medical care??

Then he lives with them for an undetermined amount of time, getting used to being a ghost with their supervision and is given full access to all the stuff they've stolen over the years.

One of them included a magic ball and Danny, stuck in a cave with not a lot to do, decides to fuck around and try it out.

A while later he's being fretted over by a whole lot of the Blob ghosts because the entire cave was filled with ice.

Not to self, don't use his apparent ice abilities without a sense of control like he did before.

Then a while later, while still trying to control said ice magic, he gets given a crown. One that he can't really see because there's no ectoplasm in it, but also can vaguely see the outline because there was something else inside it.

Later told it was a magic crown they got from a wizard who suddenly decided that he literally had zero use for the thing and traded it with the Blob ghosts since it'll just collect dust.

They traded it for a gem by the way.

So, when Danny finally perfected his ice abilities (with help from the crystal ball) he decides to leave the cave for once in his life and then he subsequently falls through a portal (with his blob ghosts) into the world of DC and boy is he out of his depth.

Then he becomes a villain, not on purpose really. He just needs to see and used his ice do to just that, and because of that he's taken over an entire section of a city (unnamed by it isn't Gotham) and his blob ghosts regularly steal stuff outside to bring back to him so he can eat and stuff.

Of course, taking over a whole section of a city isn't really seen in a good light.
