Danny’s on the Suicide Squad. He’s the defacto team moral compass and ray of sunshine. He plays the role of the camp counselor that keeps everyone in line. He’s not afraid of working with even the gnarliest of baddies.
Everybody on the team wonders how he ended up locked up with the villains- he never talks about what he did to end up behind bars no matter how much they pester him. Then one day they’re out on a mission and Harley or somebody is caught and tortured. Danny snaps. It’s the opposite of brutal- he takes down everyone in the room with clinical, dispassionate efficiency.
After it’s over and the team is safe he comes back to himself and is almost sheepish. He radios Belle Reve.
“Whoops. Add another couple notches on my power dampener collar, would you Waller?”
“Can’t, it’s already at max.”
“Ah. Well. I’ll have a look at strengthening it when we’re back then.”
The team just stared at him slack jawed. Good thing he’s on their side.

Very normal about this Spam NEO fight, but I'm also curious how closely the fight plays out.
Does Frisk spare him by snapping wires still? Does he fall just like the base game when they're gone? I know he's gonna be better off at the end than becoming a pair of sunglasses, if only because he's gonna be a party member, but...
You assume this because he's a party member, but the Secret bosses are also only party Members for the duration of the Chapter they're from ;)
...
I could just leave this ask with that but, lets be honest here, I've said before that this AU initially spawned out of me joking about if Frisk was the Deltarune protag, freeing Spamton would've worked. Of course it ends better, this is happy ending city babey, that's all I do!
Frisk does snap the wires, yes, because that seems to be what Spamton's freaking out about as far as they can tell. Spamton doesn't actually get what they're doing until After all the strings are cut and he's fallen though, at which point he realizes they were trying to help him, feels somewhat guilty, and then feels a whole lot worse in general because it didn't Work.
Killing them didn't work (or, at least, he utterly failed to do so), cutting the strings Didn't Work, and now all his work was for Nothing and he tried to kill a child that did nothing but help him this entire time and that, despite how much he would attempt to convince himself otherwise, he DID get attached to. Everything's utterly fallen apart and there's nothing he can do to fix any of it. His one big plan was a dud and he has nothing else.
So Spamton is pretty ready to give up and just be a pair of glasses, but Frisk...
Well, Frisk isn't one to give up on a friend no matter what, and they will Not fail to save anyone ever again. So they try to help Spamton get back up. Again, and again, and again, and again.
And, well, that kinda Determination is enough to inspire a little hope in anyone, y'know?
And, you know, maybe, just maybe, sometimes, a little hope, a lotta determination, and a friend is all you need to defy the rules of the game.
Maybe, sometimes, you get to be more than Just A Puppet.

Elrond x Camnir
I should go to bed....
Idk I just imagine them having a cute date at the library, sharing each other favourite bits from the lore... kissing in a dark corner... what can I say I am simple...
I'm gonna make more posts with them tomorrow! Calam (1,88m), with his big brown doe eyes, is actually taller than Rob (1,83m), which is really cute 😍 maybe Camnir tries the "book boyfriend" tiktok- thing on Elrond where he backs up Elrond against the bookshelf, cornering him with one arm on the wall, one on his hip..?
alternative color versions under the cut..

You can’t force people to be honest with you. If you’re an up-front person who doesn’t have a problem asking for what you need, it can be easy to interpret wishy-washiness as cowardly and manipulative. It obviously sucks to be in emotional limbo, and I don’t blame you for interpreting their silence as a punishment. But have you considered it might also be a form of self-protection?
“Why won’t X tell me what’s wrong? I’m not a mind reader!” is a common complaint. But the question which often occurs to me is, who does that clarity benefit? Does the teller have reasonable grounds to believe expressing their anger is a safe or productive thing to do? Is it going to lead to deeper understanding, or just another argument? Is the person demanding an explanation going to listen, or use the teller’s complaint to retaliate, linguistically outmanoeuvre them, or adopt a position of victimhood? Often a request for clarity is disingenuous. We know what we’ve done and just don’t want to have to be the one to bring it up, because we feel guilty, and it’s easier to take a defensive posture than proactively apologise.
Not to mention that when we’re upset, the last thing we want is to give the person who offended us an opportunity to relitigate the situation. Especially if there’s wounded pride involved. It can be humiliating to confess the depth of your hurt feelings. That kind of honesty is an act of generosity, not emotional obligation.
