Danny could admit that pretending to be a "regular ghost" was pretty fun. He could hide in one place and scare people who were waiting for an open door and a creepy laugh.
Honestly, Danny could do a lot more than that, the ghosts people believed in were nothing like the ones he knew. He wondered if there were simply different types of ghosts, or supernatural creatures; it was quite likely, considering that the ghosts of the Realms weren't even of the same dimension so it wasn't a fair comparison.
Anyway, the halfa had spent a couple of days "haunting" Gotham. The place was too leggy and they needed a little excitement in their lives. Of course, this led to some rumors about a spirit suffering or something similar, he didn't really care.
The "heroes" of Gotham didn't seem to share his opinion, going through all the places that had been "attacked" (they were just jokes) and looking for some explanation before calling Justice League Dark, Danny had fun scaring them a little in the process.
But he wasn't too interested in being exorcised, banished or whatever they did with rebel ghosts, so he settled on a mansion that was too big for its few inhabitants. Scaring billionaires was almost therapeutic, although the butler didn't seem too impressed by his (minimal) efforts.
So! Harvey Dent was splashed in the face with pure Acid, strong enough to instantly melt and burn off half of his Face.
He definitely nearly died from that, if not from the Blood Loss then from the Infections and Chemical Poisoning that you would expect. Now, since he didn't actually die he didn't become a Ghost, but multiple factors led to Harvey becoming a Liminal.
He was born in Gotham, a city with a very high Ecto Level, his attack was one filled with many extremely powerful emotions, and near death experiences tend to draw Ectoplasm to the location.
It makes sense doesn't it?
The sudden Split Personality, that's his Traumatized Ghost Side and his Barely hanging oon Human Side conflicting. It got so bad he developed DID.
His Obsession with the Coin is his Literal Ghostly Obsession. In Life he was always preaching about how "Crime always pays, its fate" so now he relies on Fate to make decisions.
Harvey Dent is a Liminal Human, parading around as a Villain in Gotham.
Imagine his surprise when Danny shows up at his Base, asking for a Lawyer? Apparently he needs help with a Legal Case of some sort.
both of them, because she's also aroace just like me!
actually while i'm at it, here's the little animation i was working on for pride month but never got around to posting!
in my self indulgent aroace worldbuilding i like to imagine that labels for orientations and genders are just kind of... not that much of a thing on popstar, because it doesn't matter at all to anyone. nobody has ever cared about stuff like who or how you love, and 90% of them are picking their own pronouns anyway.
that said, it's still nice to have a little self representation here on our primitive earth internet, where this kind of thing very much does need to exist and we deserve to be proud of it!
i dont go on tiktok too often since I know my brain does the time blind, someone fucking tell me why my algo is serving me up doomed boston yaoi (damon/affleck) like the fuck
my personal headcanon time <3 i really do find it interesting to explore john's relationship with gender in terms of both the way she was raised as well as their journey through sburb and how their arc manifests. personally i like to interpret them as agender because i think it fits their motif for apathy, not necessarily as a bad thing but more as an avenue for fluidity and flexibility, not having to be bound to gender. i see it as having the same feeling of freedom as the breath aspect. there's also the factor where they grew up with expectations of masculinity and male role models, and there's the freedom in being able to break away from that when they realize that that isn't necessarily who they are or who they have to be and getting to explore their identity and expression on their own terms. i think that this interpretation shares a lot in common with transfem headcanons. that's part of why i absolutely love people who explore june egbert, because she shares a lot of the same potential and ideas, just in a slightly different direction. shoutout to june egbert enjoyers, thank you for being the backbone of this fandom
