Welcome to the Restraint! (Restaurant)

Imagine Danny runs to Gotham and starts squatting in an abandoned old building in Crime Alley. Slowly putting some ecto into the place to claim it as his haunt (while recovering from the sudden loss of his old one). And he does the normal stuff to survive. Finds some odd jobs, often as a messenger, and is just surviving. Another thing he does is make his own food. It’s cheaper than takeout and he’s gotten pretty good at cooking (out of necessity instead of eating sentient hotdogs). Then he ends up accidentally taking in some street kids. Or more like they follow him home. He can’t just turn them away so he makes a meal for them and lets them stay the night then sends them on their way. And then it happens again. And again. And ok, so maybe he saved a girl from getting molested. And that older guy from getting his only good blanket stolen. And sure, maybe letting that poor pizza delivery guy rant was unnecessary but he looked like he was having a bad day ok? Pretty sure that kid with the scar is a meta too but…he needed a place to stay a few nights alright? It’s not like any of them stay permanently. Danny’s started picking up a few more odd jobs to pay for all the extra food he’s had to buy. Always keeping his place stocked. At least he doesn’t have to pay for water and a fridge, he just makes some ice (or melts it). Sure the water is cold, but it’s probbaly the cleanest water in Gotham. And then some of the people start paying. Like…actually paying in exchange for food. Not sure if it’s because of guilt or pity but Danny won’t look a gift horse in the mouth. And with all the money, he hasn’t had to take as many dangerous jobs. Soon, his little abandoned apartment became what’s essentially the closest thing to a legitimate restaurant in Crime Alley.

It didn’t look normal. The chairs and tables were more like old couches and stools pulled up to coffee tables and cabinets turned on their side. Although with the bulling becoming more like Danny’s haunt, the walls naturally started repairing themselves so at least it didn’t look like it was gonna collapse anymore. And ok…so Danny might have rescued a few feral kids who…weirdly have gold eyes. And possibly stopped a meta trafficking ring on accident. And look, these people didn’t have anywhere to go! And the apartment did have empty rooms. It was already known as a place someone could crash for the night (last winter the entire place was cramped with people. Danny had to break up multiple fights but they usually calmed down when he got there.)

One benefit from controlling a haunt is controlling the temperature inside so it was one of the only buildings with ‘heat’. But back to his…strays. So yeah…most didn’t seem like they could rejoin society…so he let them stay. And…they kind of became employees? Impromptu bodyguards? (Some of the golden eyed people almost felt like he was rangling feral ghosts again.) they came in all ages. A few kids, lots of teens, and a few adults. Same with the metas he rescued. They mostly helped deliver food to costumers. They even got a phone line working and could take orders. (Although the new…employees…also got more protective whenever a fight broke out.) With all the extra money he’s been getting he was even able to afford some medical supplies. A lot of his customers(?) came in injured and he tried his best to patch them up but now he could do more than tie some ripped clothing around the wound and use ice to numb it. He’s got bandages. And pain killers. Plus other medical stuff. He can even give someone stickers now! All that experience as an injured vigilante was paying off. Even Villains and goons start attending this place. The place was unofficially designated as one of the Alley’s ‘safe zones’ where no fighting takes place inside (the body guards make sure of it.) the metas and Talons are getting an identity for themselves, the street kids even get a job and a hideout, random people can go there for help or to pass messages, this place provides food, shelter, and medical care. No one wants it going down.

So yeah, welcome to the restaurant!

(I’m debating whether I want this to be the weirdest restaurant/safe place/truce area in the alley, or whether I want Danny to accidentally become a crime lord. Possibly both.)

Also, this place is called the Restraint because I keep misspelling Restaurant and I think Danny would do the same so the name stuck. (Or one of the kids spelled it when making a sign or passing around messages to spread the word of this safe place.)

So anyways, to add some angst, after Danny adopts a bunch of crime alley kids/villains they find out about Danny’s powers and that he’s a ghost, only they don’t know about Halfas so they think Danny is fully dead and this super kind guy who has been the only person to ever treat them like people…died. He died likely a long time ago and there’s nothing any of them can do to change that.

(And if the GIW dare to come into the alley, they better be prepared for the entire place to turn on them.)

It is time to see if the heroes really would attack a friendly Dark.

Behold: my artwork for chapter 9 of LuckyLectio's fic A Dark Among the Lights on AO3. I know I say this every time, but I wholeheartedly recommend reading it.

This chapter grabbed me by the heart between the symbolism and execution, and I'm really really looking forward to where it goes from here ^-^

Link to the speedpaint since Tumblr made me post it separately.

the whole point being that taeoh, for all his intelligence and strategies, might still have made it to kangoh, but he would never have a chance to actually grab power without using inha’s ‘insider’ status, which inha seems to be ‘realizing’ these episodes. because at the end of the day, taeoh is still kangoh’s tool. he has no authority. he’s something for the chairman to use, never more than that.

This is my first post talking about Detroit (begging for the Detroit Tumblr fanbase to be thriving in these desperate times).

The rarepair of Ralph/Rupert is one of the best rarepairs. I've seen in this game. Granted, I haven't seen many (please tell me about your rarepairs I love rarepairs immensely). I've always been obsessed with the headcanon that they were both workers in Detroit Urban Farms, and that Ralph's assault was what Rupert witnessed and deviated to. Don't get me wrong.. Ralph with the Jerries (or just a Jerry) are really good too, and I sometimes find myself enjoying Ralph and Kara as a pairing (it's a fifty/fifty, mostly since I'm a big KarLuther fan personally (though I also sometimes just enjoy single mom kara too)), but something about this rarepair hits me.

I always headcanoned Ralph as having a love for animals, he just can't quite care for one due to his spontaneous fits of anger. I like to think he likely tried keeping that dead bird in his house as a pet but accidentally killed it when it did something that set off his nerves. Rupert.. obviously.. loves pigeons. The man lived with like 70-100 of them.

They'd bond over birds.. I like to think Rupert would try to assist Ralph with trying to care for animals and nature again, but also ensure that he's being careful with the birds.

"Convict Shot Dead In Break Attempt," Winnipeg Tribune. October 27, 1943. Page 1 & 4. --- JOHN Ashton "Pat" Barnett, serving a 20-year term at Stony Mountain penitentiary, was killed Tuesday night in an exchange of shots with a guard named Ferguson after he had got out of his cell and was trying to make his escape through the cell-yard.

Prison authorities today would make no comment on the shooting. Warden Alex H. Campbell said he was making a report to Ottawa and whatever statement was made would have to come from the department.

Barnett was sentenced to 20 years on Oct. 15, 1940, after a trial in Winnipeg in connection with the death of Const. John McDonald, of the city police force. Const. McDonald was shot while Barnett and two others were attempting to rob the Radio building.

Barnett made his breakout attempt about 6 p.m., Tuesday. In some way he had got out of his cell and was in possession of a gun. There is no information on how he got it. As soon as he got out he encountered Ferguson in the prison corridor, pulled the gun on him, and demanded that he hand over the keys to unlock the door to the cell yard.

From Information obtained outside of the prison authorities, it is claimed Ferguson handed over the key. Barnett is said to have fired the gun, and Ferguson returned the fire. The convict was killed almost instantly.

Dr. T. Evelin, provincial coroner, will hold an inquest at Stony Mountain tonight.

The crime for which Barnett was sentenced occurred in Winnipeg on Feb. 10, 1940, He and John Andrusiak and "Mike the Horse" Attamanchuk broke into the Radio building and made their escape while police were attempting to arrest them in the building. In the melee Constable McDonald was shot and killed.

The principal suspect in connection with the killing was Attamanchuk. Barnett and Andrusiak were picked up and held on coroner's warrants shortly after, but police continued the search for Attaman- chuk, believing he was the key man in the shooting.

Three days after, Attamanchuk was located in a hide-out in the Brant block on Logan ave. While police were attempting to force open the door of the suite where he was hiding he put a bullet through his heart and died almost instantly.

Murder charges were laid against both Barnett and Andrusiak.

A jury verdict for acquittal was directed by Mr. Justice Robson, the trial judge. The Crown laid new charges against both men as being accessories after the fact to Const. McDonald's murder. Both pleaded guilty and each was sentenced to 20 years.

Andrusiak is serving his term in Stony Mountain.

im writing down the timeline of events in Finders Keepers (so I know what happens and when it happens), and Y/N already has two near death experiences before they even fix the dca; Actually, 2 near death experiences before they even properly KNOW who the other is

I finished Hannibal last night (my first ever watch).

My first thought is that someone needs to buy Frederick Chilton a t-shirt that says "I was brutally maimed by 3 serial killers and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

My second thought is that there are only two characters that make primarily sound decisions... And one of them still ended up murdering someone.

how are you feeling today? did you make it through unscathed?

Yeah I definitely didn't 😭 I've been hella congested all day and I definitely have a cough, but it's more bc my throat is bugging me than anything. I don't think I technically have a fever, my temp's just slightly elevated from where it normally is. It's fucking miserable bc I can't breathe through my nose and the damn thing fucking hurts, and I'm kinda uncomfortable and a little achy, but other than that I'm mostly just tired and a little hazy and generally just don't feel great, so I'm not dying like my partner was lmao. But yeah, all this to say that I'm fucking pissed at him and I literally feel like a goddamn plague rat 😭😭

@limey-self-inserts LMAO RIGHT 😂😂 at least in the first season of the bad batch + like half of the second one, he remained like STUBBORNLY his worst self for a long while.

When I was talking about it with my partner, I was thinking about just how much of an ASSHOLE he was to Rex. And what he SAID to Rex about Echo during that arc in season 7 "I would have left him for dead too, after all he's just another reg" like BRO WHAT? That's why I hated him so much at first = _ = and that's also why I figured it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to say something like that to Brea! Maybe he didn't really mean what he said about Kep but he DEFINITELY just wanted to hurt Rex.

Like...I imagine he and Brea haven't been in contact for a while but he's been thinking about her this whole time you know? Maybe he's even thought about trying to reach out to her but his dumb pride doesn't let him, and then when they see each other again it's too late. Not sure how he finds out but she's clearly in love with Rex now, a REG, something Crosshair inherently dislikes but he now HATES. Not to mention when order 66 happens, Crosshair can feel that pull, less so than an unaltered clone but he still feels it and it's probably FUELED by his feelings of betrayal BY Brea. The jedi are traitors according to his coding, but she specifically betrayed HIM in his mind. And for THAT they must pay.
