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.

pov youve had your lashes on for damn near 24 hours and now your left eye is itchy and burning

[foundationsofdecay]

There's this one line in Ascensionism that's been sticking in my head the last couple of days:

"With one eye on the door, other eye on a rail Other, other eye following a scarlet trail And the last few drops from the Holy Grail"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time we've gotten any kind of lyrical reference to having any extra eyes? The eye on the door feels like a reference to Jaws, where Vessel's being watched while Sleep (or whoever else) is moving towards the door to leave him locked away, and the rail at first glance seems like it is a desire for stability or assistance/companionship. Blood trails have plenty of lyrical references throughout their discography, even just two tracks prior in Aqua Regia, but there are a couple of different interpretations that come to mind for the Holy Grail.

The way this is described in and of itself is curious, that you have Vessel's attention split not just in different directions, but in different amounts: 1/3 is looking at the door, either at a potential exit or looking at the place where someone's abandoned him, 1/3 is looking at something already present that could potentially be a source of grounding and relief, but the final 1/3 is split in two.

Four focus points, but over six parts. Reminds me of how Vessel's most recent masks have all featured six eyes, but hey, if nothing else that lends a precedent for this hyper-fragmentation of warring desires, or perhaps a combination of fear and desire; prey animals need ways to detect predators, after all, what could be better than two eyes than six?

Looking at this last 1/3, the final two of the six, you have this equal split. On one hand, you have the desire to continue this metaphorical hunt, that nagging urge to follow it to the source of injury and make it worse, to latch on and deepen the wounds and the pain in someone else. On the other, you have the last drops of the Holy Grail; depending on what interpretation of literature you prefer, that could mean bringing back eternal youth (the glory of innocence, perhaps, as a foreshadowing to TMBTE), or halting further progression of aging or disease (preserving telomeres, like was pointed out by tonguetyd here), or providing a source of eternal sustenance, something that would be able to sustain Vessel in a way that would free him from the need to follow that blood trail in the first place. Those are all very different things, though all certainly desirable in their own way at various points to Vessel throughout the trilogy.

Thing is, no matter what the Holy Grail does, the resource is finite. There are only a few drops left - even if Vessel were to opt for that route, he would still eventually age again, whether from a 'purer' point or his current state, would still return to his hunger and his need to feed. There's one problem here, though. Wounds heal. The scent of blood can last a long time, but if Vessel were to abandon the hunt for too long, it may be impossible to pick it back up and still have the upper hand, if he were to catch up in the first place. So, of course he would be torn over that more than anything else. Would really it be worth abandoning everything up until now to have that brief respite, to return to a time when he wasn't caught in this viscous cycle, when he knows fully well that it can never last?

There is nothing quite like nail polish that changes color with temperature to highlight the discrepancy between your nail lengths, lol
