I hide and cower in the corner, conversations getting hard
'Cause nobody seems to ask about me anymore
And nobody seems to care about anything I think
And nobody seems to recognize me in the crowd
In the background, screaming, "Everybody, look at me"
And I'm fading away, you know I used to be on fire
I'm standing in the ashes of who I used to be
I used to be a darling starlet, like a centerpiece
Had the whole world wrapped around my ring
I flew too closely to the sun that's setting in the East
And now I'm melting from my wings
This song is about his place, or lack of one in the world down to every single detail. Feeling like a stranger at his own parties must be a feeling he gets often now. Must be threadful, not the least because he’s always been an attention seeker.
𝐈𝐈. Waterloo - Abba
My, my
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh, yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way.
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you forever more
Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo was a particularly badass moment for Prussia in history. I like to imagine Gil fanboys ABBA to this day and loves jamming to their Eurovision winning song together with Arthur. <3
𝐈𝐈𝐈. 99 Luftballons - Nena
Ninety-nine years of war
Left no place for winners
War ministers don't exist anymore
Neither do the fighter jets
Today, I stroll around
See the world in ruins
I've found a balloon
I think of you and let it fly
A staple of German music! I always imagine Gilbert playing this while he drives around with his old VW beetle, singing along as off key as he can.
𝐈𝐕. Ich Will - Rammstein
(I want) I want that you trust me
(I want) I want that you believe me
(I want) I want to feel your glances
(I want) to control every heartbeat
(I want) I want to hear your voices
(I want) I want the peace disturbed
(I want) I want that you watch me carefully
(I want) I want that you understand me
(I want) I want your fantasy
(I want) I want your energy
(I want) I want to see your hands
(I want) to drown in cheers
Rammstein hypes up the crowd with this song. I just feel like it has a big Gil vibe(tm). Ugh, I need a metal verse for him so bad.
𝐕. Kumiankka (Rubber duckie) - Herrat
I like it when girls command me
I said so and you gave me ‘XD’
You asked me to come over and I knew it was something important
I wanted to find out and even though I said I'm never afraid
I was secretly hoping that at most it will be just little scratches on my back
And now I can't even breathe, I'm tied up in your little tub in chains and shackles
I like the way you look at me, you say "obey, boy"
others say I'm just a toy, but toys r us so why couldn't I
doesn't fucking matter if my alarm won't ring
I can be your toy if you want me to be, I can be the toy you want me to be
You can tickle me, you can squeeze me
I want you to have fun with me
I want to be your rubber duckie
You can tickle me, you can squeeze me
Like I were a rubber duckie
!!SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK!!
I ask if you are playing games with me but you don't like to talk
I quess I'm getting beaten here but I just dig it when chicks dominate
it turns me on, a little devil with a good reputation
I didn't find an angel, I guess but nuns aren't good enough either
I have no reason to leave, so ask for whatever you want to do with me
it's hot, come here, tell me what to do
well played, you did it, you messed my head like Vegas,
This is one of those scenes where the role is difficult,
but I still want to float in your waves as a rubber duck
He wants Hungary to peg him. He’s a bottom.
(If you only listen to one of these songs please listen to this one, it’s hilariously composed xD And now the mental image of him squeaking like that around girls won’t LEAVE ME)

Ok so Danny has essentially claimed earth as his. And he is fully aware that there are constant threats to the planet. Now he can’t stop a threat that originates on earth (that’s something he’ll leave to the Justice league) but he can do something about outside threats. Doing some research on ancient spells, rituals, and artifacts, he cast a world wide barrier on the planet to protect it from hostile threats so they cannot enter. This will prevent another Pariah Dark incident. However, barriers like this come at a price. You see, there are two ways to make a barrier. Either make one powered up by your own energy and power (which would be constantly draining) or set up a barrier with rules. The way magic works is that nothing can be absolutely indestructible. It must have a weakness. The most powerful barriers weren’t the ones reinforced with layer after layer of protective charms and buffed up with power. Those could eventually be destroyed either by being overpowered, wearing them down, or by cutting off the original power source. No, the most powerful barriers were the ones with a deliberate weakness. A barrier indestructible except for one spot. A cage that can only be opened from the outside. Or that can only be passed with a key or by solving a riddle. So Danny chooses this type of barrier and does the necessary ritual and pours in enough power to make it. And he adds his condition for anyone to enter.
Now the Justice league? Find out about the barrier when Trigon attempts to attack, they were preparing after he threatened what he would do once he got to earth. How he would destroy them. The Justice league tried to take the fight to him first but were utterly destroyed, so they retreated home to tend to their injuries, and fortify earth for one. Last. Stand. Only when Trigon makes his big entrance…he’s stopped.
The Justice league watch in awe as this thin see-through barrier with beautiful green swirls and speckled white lights like stars apears blocking Trigon and his army’s advance. The barrier looks so thin and fragile yet no matter how hard the warlord hits, none of his attacks can get through and neither can he damage said barrier. That’s when Constantine and Zatanna recognizes what this barrier is. Something only a powerful entity could create. For a moment, the league is filled with hope that Trigon can’t get through yet Constantine also explains that it’s not impenetrable. And clearly Trigon knows this too for he calls out a challenge.
And that’s when, in a flash of light, a tiny glowing teenager appears. He looked absolutly minuscule compared to Trigon and yet practically glowed with power (this isn’t a King Danny AU though).
And that is when the conditions for passing the barrier are revealed. And the Justice realize that the only thing stopping Trigon and his army from decimating earth. The only way he can get through….is by beating this glowing teenager in a card game.
Not just any card game though. The most convoluted game Sam, Danny, and Tucker invented themselves. It’s like the infinite realms version of magic the gathering, combined with Pokémon, and chess. And Danny is the master. So sit down Trigon and let’s play.
(The most intense card game of the Justice league’s life).
After Danny wins, this happens a few more times with outer word beings and possibly even demons attempting to invade earth, yet none have been able to beat the mysterious teenager in a card game. Constantine might even take a crack at it and try to figure out how to play. He’s really bad though. Every time this happens, the Justice league worry that this might be the time the teenager looses. Yet every time, he wins (even if only barely).
Meanwhile, Danny, Sam, and Tucker have gotten addicted to the game and play it almost daily. Some teachers might seem them playing the game are are like ‘awww how cute’ not realizing this game is literally saving the world. Jazz is just happy they aren’t spending as much time on their screens playing Doomed.
This is 90% a video covering the containment breach and 10% just things that made me laugh/my own personal highlights lol sorry that I left out big things!! the song is only like 2 minutes long and i ran out of steam adkjfha
Thank you @mcytblrsexymen for the funniest two weeks I've had in ages and for also having really organized tags because there was absolutely no way I would have done this without them
It irritates me alot when people say that making medic more compassionate is ''missing the point of his character'' when he is literally shown to be in the comics.... did you miss the part where he showed concern for both sniper and miss pauling's well being in comic 5 and 6.
His actions are a combination of genuine attachment + clinical interest and these things do not cancel out one another. He is always pushing boundaries and going against the grain and i think this is what led to him losing his license in the first place. He felt stifled by the rules imposed on him.
He is shown to be extremely passionate so it makes sense that he would use his endless fascination with medicine as a way to show his affection. He loves his friends so he will find a way to make them borderline indestructible. Malpractice is his love language.
so on the subject of the "Crowley is secretly Revaan/Laverne/Levin/please Twst give us his name" theory, I think my feelings are best summed up as "I don't really buy it, but it's funny". like, in all seriousness, I'm not opposed to it; I have enjoyed the writing in Twst so far and I'm willing to trust that whatever happens will, you know, make sense and not be terrible. but I'm just not really convinced by the current evidence! maybe that'll change once we learn more, we'll see!
with that said, may I propose a few alternate theories about the possible Crowley/Revaan connection:
lol that “shovel talk” conversation was so on brand as a Hen and Tommy interaction. Karen being part of it made it even more enjoyable.
Hen has been giving Tommy shit for years. Remember when he tried to make a bet (on credit) and she told him she was gonna eat his lunch and she was the one who pushed his face into his cake?
That’s her old friend and that’s clearly how they get along. If she didn’t trust him or something, she could just tell him to stay the hell away from Buck.
This was in response to an old drawing of Jesus with the pride flag. It's not like super articulate because alas the twitter character limit but ya know. I think a lot about those comments
