#lullaby for a ghost

Dark haunting violin : Ghost Lullaby by Max Ablitzer

YouTube’s being dumb by calling this “made for kids,” so it won’t let me save it to a songlist.

So, I’m putting it here.

[starry-bi-sky]

i have been unmedicated for the entirety of spring break and thus have had little interest in writing this down, but i have been thinking about this for the entire week (as well as a dpdc clone danny au that resulted in it becoming its entirely separate batman au that includes a teenage vigilante bruce wayne, an ocarina, and me entirely incapable of making a batman au without making bruce dirt poor but we're not talking about that) and so i've finally went 'fuck it' and forcibly grabbed my laptop. I will get this done in one sitting even if it kills me.

BUT. This is about neither clone^2 danny nor about who i am calling Ocarina Batman. This is about my Danyal Al Ghul Au and more SPECIFICALLY it's me thinking about his relationship with Sam and Tucker specifically.

Tucker and Sam? Adore this asshole (affectionate) with every fiber of their being. And it is very much a reciprocated feeling, but Danny's thoughts will not be delved into much other than he would kill for them.

Tucker? The only person currently capable of getting a deep, loud, belly laugh out of Danny. Sam can get him to smile and to laugh, but it's the kind that's a chuckle-under-the-breath. The quiet, looks-down-while-huffing laughter. Snorts once with laughter and then grins stupidly.

But Tucker? Tucker can crack a slew of stupid jokes and Danny will be incapacitated for the next five minutes because he's laughing so hard that he can't breath. He lands one well-timed pun or quip and Danny will be close to tears. His laughter is their favorite sound in the whole world.

Sam is lowkey jealous of this ability, and she's gotten a belly laugh out of Danny a few times. But alas, it is Tucker who wields this power and has gotten it the most times out of the two of them.

-

They're also both physically affectionate with Danny as much as possible. It started roughly around when they were 12-ish, a year since they befriended Danny, and they noticed that he sought after touch but never seemed to initiate (and was in some ways repulsed by it). They started slowly being more touchy with him. Hooking a finger around his to lead him somewhere, tapping his wrist, looping arms. Little touches, grabs, etc, to get him used to it, and once he started doing it back they started increasing it.

It's gotten to a point where he will now just. Lay on them. Like a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Leaning on their backs when they're sitting in class before the bell rings, his chin on their heads. He'll talk about anything with his arms looped around their shoulders.

If they're sitting on a couch at either of their houses, he'll lay his legs on theirs. Him and Tucker will press their feet against the other's and try and push against them (newsflash: Danny always wins, Tucker claims its the ghost strength but Danny's been winning since before his accident)

-

Naturally, both Sam and Tucker know where Danny keeps his weapons on his person, and are allowed to grab them off of him if they need it. His only requirement is that they don't lose his weapons if they take it and forget to return it immediately.

They both understand how big of a thing this is from Danny, and so they do their best to treat his weapons with a lot of respect and care because they know its his way of saying he trusts them.

-

Sam and Tucker are so fond of Danny it's insane. Like fr. That's their goddamn best friend, and they are so protective of him. Emotionally, physically, you name it. They will tear the head off a grown man if they need to, Danny's had scars since he arrived in Amity Park and Sam and Tucker both are going to find the person who put them there and make them pay for it.

One time, Tucker overheard a bunch of upperclass girls speaking nastily about Danny and about the rumors surrounding him, calling him names like 'freak', 'monster', etc. Danny was with him and heard it, and seemingly appeared unbothered by it, even telling Tucker that he was used to such rumors.

Tucker was so furious that hacked into the school system later that night and tanked those girls grades. They were kicked out of their clubs and had to go to mandatory tutoring for the rest of the year. He made sure to leave some way of letting them know it was him who did it.

And Sam doesn't like using her money for things, doesn't like abusing that wealth. So instead, whenever her parents talk bad about Danny, she causes a media incident that has her parents scrambling to deal with. She does something wild, outrageous by her parents' standards.

She heard some boys on the basketball team making fun of Danny once, similar to those girls had. She kicks up a fuss about something eco-unfriendly at school and forcibly holds a protest on the same day of the big home basketball game, forcing them to cancel the event and reschedule to a visiting school.

She anonymously donates money so that there's new uniforms for the team but oops! Looks like she "forgot" to donate enough money for them to get uniforms for all the team members, and strangely enough those boys in particular didn't get them! Looks like they'll have to wait until more money gets donated for the basketball team to get their new, nice uniforms. The old ones look so ratty in comparison, right?

And since the football team gets most of the sport money, that might just take awhile. And if (and when) they kick up a fuss? oops! Off the basketball team you go, :) such unsportsman-like behavior is unfit for the team.

(The only good thing about how corrupt the school system is is that she can use it to her advantage too.)

The both of them know that Danny suspects them for the sudden misfortune falling on these people, but he doesn't call them out on it. He's kinder than he used to be, but not kind enough to vouch for people who speak badly of him. Sometimes, he might just congratulate them on not getting caught.

Because Danny is their wonderful, hurt friend with a "slightly" Blue and Orange Moral code, and enough scars that people have been calling him a criminal (and worse) since he arrived in Amity Park when he was ten. And they'll be damned if he gets hurt anymore.

Yeah uuuuhhhhhhh....

an idea based on the song I Know I'm A Wolf. zombie/ghoul Tiso singing it to Little Ghost.

[heros-shade-fanclub]

I drew these guys like last summer for my au but some lovely lovely friends drew some gorgeous art of them for my birthday recently and it reminded me I wanted to actually post them ^.^

From left to right:

Wolf (hero of twilight)

Lucky (hero of legend)

Fish (hero of winds)

Cloud (hero of the goddess)

Blue <trying to think of a different name for him though (hero of the wild)

Ghost (hero of time/hero’s shade)

My hero’s shade design is in there next to Blue but I got lazy and didn’t color him……..floats away like a leaf

The opening choir to Peacefield having the same simple melody woven into it from the end of Respite on the Spitalfields (the choir just before the big guitar outro) is honestly making me sob they really ARE twins 😭😭😭

Ghost caregiver! headcannons (This one might be a little spooky for some kiddos, be mindful friends!)

- strange things have been happening recently, sure there's the common bumps in the night but even stranger it almost feels like someone tries to tuck in when you go to sleep

- your pacifiers end up seemingly washed and put away for you, bottles/sippy cups appear in the fridge full of your favorite drink, and even your stuffies get sat gently back in their spots if accidently knocked over without you lifting a finger

- you see, there's a friend hidden away in the dark corners of your home. Ghosts can be quite shy if you'd believe it, and they'd hate to scare such a precious little one! So your ghost friend helps around when they can't be seen, quiet as a mouse while you go about your day

- sometimes they do hum softly, gentle melodies they don't really remember the words to but soothing regardless. When you have nightmares they'll hum and fix your blanket better around you, no scary things can get you here darling

- they're easily spooked by you getting hurt, even stubbing a toe causes a little panic. If you're icing something you'll find you never have to replace the ice pack and if you have a scrape brand new bandaids happen to be just where you can spot them when it's time to change them

- notebooks and scrap pieces of paper have messages you don't recall writing on them, things like "you're doing amazing!" and "remember to brush your teeth :)" with small doodles surrounding the text

- the ghost knows they make things a little chilly, but they hope you don't mind as they brush your hair out of your face and kiss your forehead goodnight (though it feels more like a tickle) humming a long lost lullaby

SWISS’S VOICE DURING CALL ME LITTLE SUNSHINE FROM THE SOUNDTRACK

OH MY FUCKIN GOODNESS

[loopplays]

[auguryofjellyfish]

more thoughts about today so far

okay, so my predictions were completely wrong. i'm never predicting shit again lol. what the hell. though i did start to think it could be hama yesterday.

i wonder if we will still have more episodes today. there's the entire rest of it left...

the moments in the trial that stuck with me:

-when ken was like 'i was in my room, at least it locks' and hiroaki said 'that doesn't really matter that much anymore' and ken said don't. joke about that. dude. if a tone of voice could kill, hiroaki would have been eviscerated right then and there.

-ken was fucking self-harming, spilling his blood to light up his room using luminol. what the fuck? ken, what....how would that work? that's such bullshit, how would that be in any way more effective than glow in the dark stars? you...it wasn't just for the light. right?

-overall everyone being at each other's throats. hama completely losing it on wada, then hiroaki, whooh. reminded me of ken doing that last chapter.

-"tamba. tamba tamba tamba tamba.... oh tamba tamba. you. literally. saw me.

IN THE STAIRRRRRWEEEELLLLLLLL❗❗❗❗❗❗❗❗"

-after i've seen people claiming she didn't, tamba knew what flint and steel was after all LOL

-when ken said 'you don't know how it feels to love someone so much you'd be willing to die just so they could live.' he said it. he actually said it....sigh. i'm sorry, ken. i believe him. if he could, if he had to, if he had gotten the opportunity, he would have. always.

-overall ken carrying the trial and doing the closing argument, that was cool. he really took the the lead here. it was nice to see...i've missed him.

-when hama started praying.

this was gutwrenching. i'm so fucking sorry.

wada crying. mai crying. and i was crying too. i'm very culturally christian, but i'm not a believer. but this is making me want to go to church and pray.

lord, divine fire, have mercy.

he was crying out to god, but in his last moment, he just wanted his mom.

...........hhh.....siiigh.......

ok. i'm gutted. this was....goddamn, von babbitt. jesus christ. great work though. fucking. hell.

fuck kan and yonekura, i hope they rot forever. so painful...he didn't deserve it. he didn't deserve this at all.

hama....

and wada was trying to break through to him, hiroaki had to hold him back...even after hama went off on him, it didn't matter at all. that was his friend. wada's so kind. he's just so kind. he still doesn't really know how to express it to people. he was never shown how, before. but he feels it. he cares, so much, and he loves, loves, loves.

fucking hell, wada...more friends gone. bright souls gone. the school staff is gone. everything's gone...and hiroaki pissed off everyone again.

complete and utter devastation. howling void.

our father, who art in heaven. hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. amen.

rest in peace.

Hey boxten, we are in the same boat now!

= @the-ghost-gal

"W-Why would you go down there!?" Boxten asked, his voice trembling in fear. "You knew it was dangerous..."

(Ah shoot, don't cry Boxten *hugs him close* Sorry about that Connie. The ichor makes him feel more emotional and innocent, so maybe spare the details.)
