#to BE fair

[wemlygust]

I'm mostly on board with this idea except I'd prefer if the Joker stayed more in character and was angered or amused by Danny's diatribe. Like Danny's just there yelling at him about all the ways he's failing at being a clown ("Do you even have an egg?! You don't, do you??!!!"), and the hostages all get away either because 1) Joker now has it out for this one fucker in particular and doesn't care anymore about the rest, or 2) Joker is now fascinated with/entertained by this one loud idiot in particular and no longer cares about the rest.

Alternatively, the Joker doesn't care at all either way, just totally doesn't really give any reaction, and that makes Danny madder, and the hostages are freed because Danny frees the hostages while also yelling at the Joker. Then he punches the Joker in the face or something. (unrelated: I just now realized that people capitalize "Joker" even when it's phrased as a title - "the Joker" - like people might but often don't do for "the King" or "the God of" or "the Pope". Is there a word for this stylistic thing people do sometimes with certain titles when they want to emphasize or elevate them?)

Also - I could be mistaken because I'm mostly remembering someone else's post about this - but Freakshow wasn't really a clown either, was he? He had clowns under his thrall, but they were sad victimized clowns. He was more like a circus ringleader type, wasn't he? Even though people call him a clown all the time. To be fair, I suppose one could make the same argument about Joker. Not actually a clown. Maybe Danny realizes Freakshow isn't a clown, is actually on the side of the sad and much maligned clowns (they just get a bad rep like the ghosts do!), and is now mad at both Freakshow and the Joker for carelessly giving clowns a bad name by pretending to be one when they're not. And then he can yell at the Joker about that.

Danny picked up some traits from his parents. He got his mom’s flexibility and reflexes, his dad’s love of anything chocolate flavored and abnormally great cardiovascular health. The trait they both passed on (to Danny AND Jazz) is an intense need to learn everything they can about what they don’t like.

Jazz remembers what it was like when Uncle Hammond passed and Aunt Alicia got different. She’s terrified of her own emotions effecting her like that some day, so studies psychology like there’s no tomorrow.

Jack and Maddie bonded over their shared fear and death and resulting desire to learn everything they could about it.

Danny can’t stand clowns. They’re dishonest and hide who they are behind heavy makeup and outlandish costumes. Freak show kicks that dislike into a full-on phobia though, so he goes all in on learning everything he can. How does clown school work? What are the requirements to be a clown? What rules do they have to follow? If he knows their limitations, he knows their weaknesses. He will not be caught off guard again.

That knowledge sits in the back of his mind like a comfort blanket. Every so often he’ll dip back in and research if there’s anything that’s changed. He wants to keep on top of any information about his greatest enemies.

Finally, he manages to graduate high school with a 2.7 GPA and 31 on the ACT thanks to his Math and Science scores (and a carefully managed brawling schedule with his rogues). Thanks to those, he managed to get a partial scholarship to Gotham U for Physics and Engineering. He still isn’t sure how he managed that, but he’ll happily take it.

What he won’t take is this FALSE Clown trying to cause trouble right before finals! He’d kept on top of his shit all semester and wasn’t gonna let anyone kidnapping him and some other people off the street get in his way.

Later, the Bats manage to find where the hostages were held because one of them waved down Robin. As in, all the captives had gotten free and when they found the right warehouse, it was to one young man berating the Joker.

“You’re nothing but a modern rendition of the town fool!”

Professor Gale Dekarios of Blackstaff Academy: Now, class, I believe I’ve shared with you how I was kidnapped on a Nautiloid, hmm? How I teamed up with a group of adventurers, found the love of my life, saved all of Faerun? And how, through all of that, I still managed to focus on learning whatever new spells were made available to me, even if they required intensive study?

Students: *nodding*

Gale: Excellent. *shuffles papers in his hands, looks down at them, frowns* Then you’ll understand why I’m a tad irritated that half of you couldn’t be bothered to complete your assignments because *squints at papers* ‘your Tressym ate your homework’? *Looks up at class* Truly? That’s the excuse you’ve decided to go with? I myself used to come up with some very creative tales, but I know for a fact that you all do not have Tressyms!

Student: It wasn’t our Tressym that ate it, Professor Dekarios. It was yours.

Gale: …

Gale: *turns to shout over his shoulder* TARA! A WORD PLEASE

okay. imagine this. you're twenty. you're the highest that you've Ever been. most of the blood in your body has been drained. by a vampire. those are real. you can't move your own body. you're in an extraordinary amount of pain. and!! and. you're face to face with The scariest man in the world. he's super hot. he looks at you and says, "I'm told you've lived a fascinating life!" what do you say in response? nothing?? immediately plead for your life?? cry a little?? well, let me tell you something. that exact scenario happened to my good friend Daniel Molloy, and what HE said was, "...I never said that."

This one goes out to @a-dauntless-daffodil. They infected me with the hilarious idea that Charlie is jealous of an inanimate object.

Junko would also agree.

She made an entire extra game in her game just for Mikan protagonist! She said love her girlfriend, and you better believe it.

*points to Twilight Syndrome Murder Case* Please get my joke

junko taking the polycue out clothes shopping (bc they dont know how to fucking dress right)

Edit bc its taking ppl alot of time to figure it out and i dont want the reblogs to be confused bc its lost in the tags: Mikan is "Girl A" in TSM, so instead of her shirt saying "a girl kisser" it says "Girl A kisser"

[jonnywaistcoat]

You are writing 2 seperate books about the horrors that are held within the london underground system do you have beef

Ah, I see where the confusion is: I've got a two-book contract, the first of which is for a book about the London underground, the second of which is about ????? (haven't fully decided yet). Not saying it's an impossibility that it is also about the underground (god knows I've experienced enough horror down there for two!) but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

War knows

Earth, now in danger after the infinite realms waged war against them, is on a time limit to reverse it. The shadows speak of a person; the only person who can change the fate of the whole planet. So the Justice League scramble to find this person, only for it to be revealed as Daniel Fenton-Wayne, the newest adoptee of Bruce Wayne.

The same person who made headlines in Gotham media for his mid-western charm, looked at them blankly and told them good luck.

Jimmy's hiding places in build and seek are genuinely psychological torture. Not because they are particularly hard, people don't spend a lot more time looking for him compared to the others, but because his builds are so empty.

At least when you can't find the others it's easy to explain. Their builds are so full of hiding places, of course it's going to take some time to find the specific one they're hiding in.

This is not something you can think in a Jimmy build. His build has so few places to hide that you can search them all pretty quickly.

But you still haven't found him. There are no obvious places to hide. You go over the whole build again. It takes a short amount of time. You still haven't found him.

Well it can't be that hard. This is a simple build. There's not a lot of places to hide. You have just missed a place. Just pay a bit more attention to your surroundings and you should find it easy enough.

Still you don't find him.

You search in the tall grass and on the bottom of the pool of water. You find another hidey hole but he's not there.

You don't find him.

Maybe one of the holes in the ground lead to a secret passage. You drop into every hole and get stuck in every one.

You don't find him.

His walls are one block wide he can't hide in there but there's nowhere else to hide. There is no way up on the roof. You search behind a trap door and get stuck.

You don't find him.

You drop into the holes again. There could be one you missed with a passage in it. Trying the same thing again will surely yield different results this time.

You don't find him.

He has to be here somewhere. You can hear his voice. It is taunting you. There is nowhere to hide.

There is still nowhere to hide. Perhaps he's not here. Perhaps he's not real. Perhaps none of this is real and this is just purgatory and you're forced to traverse the same small area over and over Sisyphys pushing his boulder

You find him.

He was hele the whole time. His hiding place was in plain view.

Six minutes has passed.
