#tragic misunderstanding

[noxcheshire]

I just like Danny

Being put into misunderstandings

Whether that means he’s seen as an evil entity, or some unfortunate soul, or some tragic child going through life.

And those can go in so many ways, with Danny also feeling the hurt that COMES from those misunderstandings. But it can also be where he is just straight up vibing and unaware of those misunderstandings.

Now, out of all of them I am SUCH a sucker for the misunderstandings of Danny being a tragic child that had been used and abused, in whatever way the author deemed fit, and everyone else is just walking around protectively and eager to fist fight whoever hurt him.

Like —

Human Danny with two little de-aged babies Ellie and Dante with creepy Vlad? I will eat that UP.

Human Danny bewitched by possessive Phantom. Give me more ‘yandere Phantom’, I will smooch you.

Phantom being a dead child who might have been murderer by his parents, and are covering it up with a plausible Danny clone. The possibility????

Human Danny marked by the King of the Dead as a concubine/wife and must be helped from the tragedy of being a child bride. **frothing at the mouth** 🐕

Even the trope of sickly Danny —

I just want all of it

thinking about callum being understandably glad and so so grateful that ezran wasn't in katolis when the attack happened, and expressing it, bc he's just happy his little brother is physically alright! but ezran, guilty raging grieving, snaps that's exactly where he should've been as king

1) Introduction

Originally when I posted this it was split into 2 parts because I posted it in single frames. This is my attempt to put it into one :']

Anyways, villain Donnie! I have a whole story surrounding this fella and another comic thingy being really close to being finished >:3 so more context! I just love the idea of any of these characters going "villain". Eventually a fic will be written, too so :] fun times. Expect more of him.

canon edizzy dynamic btw

you would not guess this from my mihawk posts but i DO think it's so fitting to portray him as someone who struggles with depression but doesn't know/doesn't know how to articulate. like oh okay you've reached a point in your life where the best case scenario is stagnancy. you have a big empty title and a big empty castle and a big empty life. but at least you have fancy wine and a pedestal to look down from! ha! ha! ha!

well, guess who lost control of my hands again and was compelled to scribble down designs for ANOTHER Deltarune AU? yeah. me. it doesn't really have a proper name yet so I've just been calling it Changeling AU for now, I'll figure that out later.

these would be the cast's dark world designs; they parallel early Deltarune concepts in which the lightners would turn into monsters in the dark world-- with a few medieval fantasy fae-flavored twists this time around. mortals become a variety of magical beasts in the fae's dark realm, with only 'Kris' strangely unaffected... aside from the hue shift and conspicuously pointed ears, that is.

the main 'Kris' of this AU isn't the only human in town. instead, they're ironically the only one in town who ISN'T human, though not even they know it yet. in reality they're a Changeling, a fae creature that was left as a 'gift' to replace a taken human child. they can do things, strange things. animals come to them in the night, and the cool touch of iron burns their skin. they're afraid of what they see in the mirror; human eyes don't gleam in the dark, and their teeth shouldn't be so sharp. so they hide their features, and they ignore the whispers of the townsfolk, and they keep their head down.

they made a mistake, a terrible one... and they need to set it right.

meanwhile, the human they replaced is still out there somewhere in the fae world, twisted by its curse into a cornered, desperate beast seeking any escape from the realm that has held them prisoner all their life. it's said that when the full moon casts deep shadows over the woods, you can still hear their anguished howls in the dark begging for the name that once was theirs. they can never leave the dark world without it. they'd do anything to get it back.

all they've ever really wanted was to find their way home.

dc holiday special (2017)

*puts on my scholar glasses* is the cookie tiny or are his hands gigantic?

[ssaraexposs]

IS THIS EVEN ALLOWED?!

[stellaluna33]

Thinking about how Rory probably interprets Jess's leaving as him not caring enough, but every time he's left has been a situation where he cared too much.

[limitbreaker23]

Plot twist: the bunny was lan zhan who used this opportunity to be held by jc!

That would explain why jc cannot decide whether he wants to kiss or fight the bunny. He senses the lwj stare it gives him.

Too bad when he takes this one home (because a jie wanted one, obviously), lwj will find himself in a bit of a predicament. shufu, please send money so that lwj can travel back home after he finds himself appearing in naked human form at Lotus Pier.

honestly um ,. one part of me understands why those posts were made but, are these poser incest enthusiasts in the room with us now

[sweetchcolate]

They're all so stupid.

God I fucking LOVE the Ah-Duo arc. It's criminal she gets so little content and leaves the story so soon. There are so many tragedies surrounding her: her child's death*, how that caused Fengming (someone who admired her greatly) to suffer guilt for years, and how this guilt almost caused the death of a high-ranking concubine and led to the death of an innocent servant as a scapegoat.

As one of the oldest people in the cast at thirty-five, Ah-Duo shows a level of maturity, sympathy, and compassion few others have, extending those feelings to those of lower ranks (who are usually exempt from being shown understanding or kindness). She recognizes the worth and hard work of those around her.

But what I love most about her reaction here are the things left unsaid or implied: the way Ah-Duo speaks of the servant girl's last moments and how awful a death it must have bene (drowned in freezing waters); the way she was both glad but also felt guilty over being promoted to concubine because the emperor cared for her... it all makes you wonder if she was also aware of Fengming's involvement in the baby's death and how she sought to cover it up or how Fengming tried to harm the one girl who saw her (the woman who lost her ability to procreate a sixteen) as a mother figure...

*[spoilers for future plot points]

And how must have she felt, all those years, seeing her son alive and well, but ignorant of his true birth mother, while she mourned the death of the former empress's son? If we go by the implication she was aware Fengming accidentally killed her "child", how must Ah-Duo have felt knowing her most trusted servant felt all this guilt over another woman's child (while never knowing it)?

All that love, all those years of devotion, all undone because of misunderstandings...

It's so stupid.

[evaceratops]

both of the flashback episodes felt weak to me and i can’t figure out why

[fandaniel]

everytime i remember fandaniel 'i will kill you and me and everyone' and how he formerly had to hold back a sob over killing a creature that was rampaging i want to rip my skin off.

[bobzora]

it's always funny to me when people misunderstand akechi's main/only motivation/plan to be like. just killing his father because dude if that Was his plan everyone would be in a much better position. like everyone would be way better off. Instead,
