The King of Attolia, Megan Whalen Turner, 2006

idk if this is a trope or whatever but i love it so much when fictional characters massively downplay the severity of their injuries but in more of a comedic way than a tragic one. like some guy gets impaled and they just glance down at the shard of metal sticking out of them and say some dumb bullshit like "oh man. that's gonna need some ice." and then pass out while all their friends yell at them for being an unfunny idiot with terrible priorities.

Danny commits to the Bit a bit too hard...

So! For the first few weeks after his accident, whenever Danny would try to help the people of Amity Park, he would be treated as a Villain.

No matter if he had just defeated the Big Bad of the Week or saved a Cat from a tree, everybody in town only saw him as a Monster or Villain to he feared and hunted down. Danny was really getting sick of trying to get them on his side, until Sam made a suggestion.

"Why not just...play into it?" She said, barely looking up from painting her nails.

It was just an offhand suggestion, but it stuck with Danny. Why shouldn't he lean into it? The people of Amity Park already saw Ghosts as Evil, and they already assumed he was in cahoots with the Ghosts attacking the town. Why shouldn't he just...play into it?

So he does just that.

From that day on, whenever Phantom was spotted he would dramatically monologue about his Evil Plans, or claim that another Rogues attack on the City was his own act of terror.

Box Ghost destroys the towns Warehouses? It was on his orders.

Ember mind controls masses of Teenagers? All part of his Plans somehow.

Every Adult in Town is kidnapped by Young Blood? Danny gave them over to a friend as a Gift.

He crafts an identity for himself as the most Vile and Horrible Ghost that has ever attacked the City, using his own infamy to cement his legend even more firmly. The town only sees a Monsterous Villain, who has eveded capture near effortlessly for months on end, who constantly attacks their City and gets away with it.

Of course he still needs an excuse for how his plans keep getting stopped, and he gets it when his girlfriend Valerie becomes the Red Huntress. Before that, he just claimed infighting or the Fentons getting lucky, but Valerie becoming the Town's Hero meant he had a plausible excuse for how he kept getting "Foiled".

Val was suspicious, because she was not as involved as Phantom painted her to be, but in the end she had no proof of him faking his defeats. And she couldn't come up with any explanations for why he would do that in the first place. I mean, who would fake being a Supervillain? It had to he something else.

This did come back to bite him a while later, when the Justice League decided that enough was enough, and dispatched Justice League Dark to recruit Red Huntress and help Deal with him.

Coincidentally, that was the same day Pariah Dark attacked the Mortal Realm and sucked Amity Park into the Ghost Zone.

And honestly? Danny had spent over a Year proclaiming himself as a Villain who commanded Ghosts to attack the Human Realm, and he had heard about the Right of Conquest being Absolute in the Ghost Zone, so why not make it official? Why not overthrow the Ghost King, become the Ghost King, and cement his identity as a Villain while also forbidding Ghosts from entering the Human Realm without his permission?

He may have gotten a bit carried away and forgotten that the Villain thing was a disguise...but hey! He was still preventing Ghost Attacks! ...mostly. That's got to count for something right?

He may have let the Bit run a bit too far...

The Wicked King Chapter 19

Cardan: The other night—

Jude: I did it for the same reason that you did. To get it out of my system.

Cardan: And is it? Out of your system?

Jude: Yes.

Cardan *gives a thin-lipped nod and departs*

The next day: My spies tell me Cardan spent the night alone—no riotous parties, no drunken revels, no contests for lyres. I do not know how to interpret that.

Cardan Greenbriar, probably:

Why did I draw this.

Radioapple fic, where idk Catlastor exists (or maybe it's just KeeKee or Fat Nuggets) and does something bad and so like Angel or whoever picks him up and is like "I'm putting you in Air Jail for that one mista'!"

The next time Lucifer annoys Alastor, he picks up Lucifer and goes "Air Jail."

It becomes a thing where sometimes you just see a grumpy Lucifer being held aloft by Alastor (or his shadow tentacles) as he goes about his day. Even Lucifer himself doesn't know why he lets this happen.

Kings of Gravity Falls AU:

13 year old Ford sitting at the kitchen table, chewing agressively on a pencil while he goes over sheets of equations haphazardly spread on the table, save for one spot where a plate waits for lunch. His brow is furrowed in frustration. Stan comes up behind him with a grilled cheese sandwich on a skillet.

"Sixer, lunch!" He says, grappling with the skillet that's now heavier than it should be. He slides the sandwich onto Ford's plate.

"Thanks.." Ford mumbles absently. Stan looks over his shoulder for a minute, studying the numbers in front of him.

"You forgot the Time Dilation formula." Stan says, turning to put the skillet in the sink. Ford stops and sits up, turning to look at Stan "...What?"

"The Time Dilation formula. You need it for time travel. Isn't this a form of time travel?" He asks with a shrug. Ford scowls at him.

"Stanley, there is no way I forgot something as simple as that! That can't be it!" Stan shrugs again.

"Don't believe me? Fine." Stan goes to the kitchen door frame and calls out "Hey, Shermie! Can you come look at something for a minute?"

" What's up?" Sherman asks as he enters the room. Stan points to the paper covered table. "Poindexter's trying to figure out how to get us back to normal. I say he's missing something, but he doesn't believe me. You wanna take a look?" Ford looks offended and disgusted that Stan's now bringing their younger brother in to mock him.

"Okay, this is going too far, Stan-"

"Time Dilation formula." Sherman says after a minute of looking. Ford is at a loss for words. He settles for an eye roll, a half smile and a condescending chuckle.

"Oh Sherman, don't let Stanley rope you into his pranks." Sherman looks up at him.

"Stanford...I work for NASA. I'm a Research Astrophysicist. " At this, Ford shoots up and slams his hands on the table.

"YOU..WHA...N-NASA...?" Stan dons his best Shit-Eating grin and cups a hand to his ear.

"You hear that, Shermie? The stuttering is the soul leaving the body." Suddenly, Ford falls flat on his face on the table with a loud THUD. Sherman and Stan both stare at him.

"What the hell was that?" Sherman asks. Stan picks up Ford's wrist and puts it to his ear.

"He fainted." Stan says and lets Ford's wrist flop back on the table, then puts him back in his chair. Sherman gives him a withered look.

"Oh good, HE'S dramatic too. Fantastic."

Prompt 259

You know, going back in time, they thought it would be easy. Stop the end of the world by preventing the Being from well, coming into being. It should be easy to take them out, one death to prevent an untold amount of them. What could a child do?

Well. 

They really should have remembered that with a child usually comes their parent as well. And erm, said parent doesn’t seem to appreciate their logic. In fact, they are… getting their ass kicked. By a civilian. A feral civilian who apparently is very protective of said child-who-ends-up-destroying-the-world. 

They might need assistance…
