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...

I just love the irony of Time being the father figure for boys with the literal soul of the hero before he even had children of his own

I mean these hero's are almost adults and look how done he is with their shit:

(He's contractually obligated to have children after having met twilight, but dear Hylia he's done with parenting after triple threat)

Time, putting out the tenth fire this week, fed up with parenting already: I'm never having kids

Time: *looks at twilight* wait shit

special to me... happy pride month I am so sick right now

moc claiming racism when criticized for their misogyny is exactly the same as ww claiming misogyny when called out for their racism lol oh in fact I'm just gonna say it the men do this more often & with less backlash bc even so called socially conscious ppl don't take misogyny nearly as seriously as any other form of bigotry. look at this Tyler the creator shit the vast majority of ppl criticizing him said literally nothing about his race but he tried to make it a race thing & then went "you're gonna make the old me come out" wow yeah I can really tell you've changed! also him saying he's apologized for it when all he's ever done is make excuses. this man both in his lyrics AND OUTSIDE OF THEM threatened to rape actual women by name (Taylor & Selena specifically) along with saying more general shit about raping pregnant women and so on.

lol I mean can you fucking imagine if a white woman sang about lynching black men constantly & threatened harm to black celebrities by name then went "teehee I was just playing a character" as IF anyone would excuse that! they'd rightfully cancel her forever. but men get away with the slim shady excuse all the time even when it's very clearly just that, a thin excuse to harp on about sexual violence they definitely do want to commit.

potato is love, potato is life- local hell woman gives potato to her angelic future wife

Husk: “Did you fucking give her the potato.”

Charlie: (slumping) “I was trying to be romantic-!”

Husk: “Did you call HER your potato.”

Charlie: “THE POTATO OF MY HEART! The tuber of my root sprout!”

Husk: “Oh fuck. Shit, that’s. That’s terrible. You really shouldn’t fucking talk to women anymore.”

Charlie: (sobbing) “I WAS TRYING!!! TO BE SWEET!!!!!”

the qiong ding peak disciples 100% have petty beef with lbh for stealing their favourite didi lmao

they're not gonna Actually beat him up (without Reason) but they're very emphatic about how thoroughly they WILL if lbh messes with sy. it's like a shovel talk that never ends

sy isn't actually completely oblivious to whats going on but he doesn't get why they're like this and he thinks theyre being fucking stupid (and he trusts them to not actually bully binghe) so he's elected to ignore their antics entirely

We need to bring “Visenya, why aren’t we burning the Dornishmen?” to its natural conclusion.

“Alysanne, what’s that on your face? Why do you look so scruffy?”

“Jaehaerys, why are we fighting these people? They love you!”

“Rhaena, why in seven hells are we not chasing down the traitor that stole my eggs?”

Just let them be old and deaf and very much “he a little confused, but he got the spirit”

i will never understand ken amada haters. no not even when the whole “he indirectly got shinjiro killed” argument comes up. do you think this 11-year-old was planning to get attacked by this gun-wielding villain in the middle of the dark hour. do you think he was planning for shinjiro to take two bullets for him. NO! he was NOT! absolutely no death was supposed to occur on 10/04/2009, and i’d even go as far as to say shinjiro knew that as well. knew that he could convince ken not to do it. ken and shinjiro made the decision to head out together that night- the burden of guilt does not fall strictly upon ken’s shoulders. he’s a fucking kid! good grief

It doesn't matter to JD Vance - or Trump's supporters - that the 'immigrants eating pets' stories are false. He's admitted as much, and says he will keep repeating them. Because "memes."

It also doesn't matter when it's pointed out to him that the Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio are in the country legally. He's going to keep calling them "illegal" because their legal status is not the thing about them that he finds objectionable.

It doesn't matter if they're legal immigrants or illegal immigrants. It doesn't matter that immigrants - regardless of legal status - are statistically much less likely to commit crimes than those born in the United States.

None of those things matter, because it's never been about those things.

Trump & JD Vance and all of their supporters hate immigrants. Full stop. The reasons and justifications will always shift and change to fit the present circumstances and political environment; reactionary politics at its finest. Meanwhile, the cold and vile core remains unchanged:

"These non-white people are lesser than us. In fact, they aren't people and we don't want them here."

Now I'm imagining how jealous and possessive Imogen would get if Fearne gives her the same ultimatum about Laudna that she did to Chetney about Deanna
