leslie and alfred are united in guilt but i think they also should have a beef of the kind only a catholic pacifist anarchocommunist and an old conservative protestant british monarchist who used to serve in MI6 can have

DP x DC but it’s Durarara!!! Inspired:

Danny got his head cut off at some point and is now rolling around Gotham (and other cities) looking for it. He’s stuck in Phantom form cause he for sure can’t turn back into a human with no head, he’d be dead. So now he’s got this whole Black Rider situation where he’s riding through town on his bike and a neon green kitty biker helmet with the cartoon face.

No one knows who this guys is or what he wants, only that he glows and always shows up a hot spots of crime. Any time there is a trade deal about to go down the glowing cyclist shows up, makes chaos, and leaves after. They aren’t sure if he’s trying to make power play moves or if he’s looking for something, but they damn well are going to find out.

Meanwhile Danny is trying to go to every single illegal trade/auction he can get to hoping someone has his head. He’s mainly trying for the supernatural ones but figured maybe the normies got it for some fucked up reason. Also he’d really appreciate if the Justice League and various other heroes would stop trying to corner him like a villain, he can’t really talk right now and he doesn’t think they are going to try playing charades with him to try and explain the situation.

Im honestly so impressed of Resa.

She had heard a part of Fenoglios inkheart when she gets read into that world. She knew a lot less than we do about that world, but she managed to live there for years.

I would have died the first week.

Okay you're right, that is absolutely hilarious XD

dc Pride is just incredibly funny to me Midnighter and Apollo on the cover of every other issue while Superman and Batman are in the back carrying ally flags, not like DC's headlining gay couple were created to be Intellectually distinct versions of anything else

I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3

Coming back to this because im rereading Inkdeath and Blue is used SO MUCH to describe the veil between the land of the living and the land of the dead. Dustfinger is swimming in a sea of Blue and the river that the white women wash peoples hearts in and that you look into to appear in your loved one's dreams is blue. So yes, blue like water. But not just because of the castle on the lake

Does anyone have any idea why in the english translation of Inkheart it's The Bluejay when in german he's called the Jay? Or did that just sound too much like a nickname and not enough like a bird? Cuz like

this is pretty but not the bird the Character is named after which would be this:

And I'm wondering wether that really just got changed because Jay sounds too much like a normal name. (also arent Bluejays native to north america? that doesnt matter in the inworld ofc cuz it's fantasy but as a fun little detail/foreshadowing it's mentioned earlier on in Inkspell that Mo would give Meggie apology gifts like a bookmark decorated with jaybird feathers which he'd collect in Elinors garden. In northern italy. Where you would not find bluejays)

what a truly ironic thing to call the boy who fears nothing but demons and ghosts

I know the fandom had named Valerie's ghost hunters identity "Red Huntress" (and I fucking love that name, don't get me wrong, it's rad as hell) but I had a thought about a potential other name she might have ended up with.

Specifically I'm imagining Danny giving her a hero name completely by accident.

Like, they're fighting a ghost together. It's low stakes, more just a bit of fun before they go grab a shake at the Nasty Burger or something. Neither of them are on edge or really thinking, this is basically just a quick chore they have to take care of before they can hang out. They've been joking and throwing banter back and forth, all that fun stuff.

And it's so chill and low stakes that Danny, in typical Danny fashion, isn't really thinking.

He's about to do something to show off or make a terrible pun or something and wants to make sure she's paying attention and goes to shout to her.

But uh... he uh... he forgot until he's already got the "Val" part out that she also has a secret identity and at this point watching them fight ghosts is a pass time for the people of Amity Park so they have a pretty big audience. One that includes the news.

So, now panicking, Danny tries to cover the only way he knows how:

He Puns it out.

And so, Amity Park's ghost hunting hero Valkyrie is named.

If we want to double down on Danny's "Hero identity name is just a slight change to his civilian name she could be Valkyrie Red (in place of Valerie Gray) though I think Red Valkyrie flows a little better lol

I am honestly impressed Orpheus didn't cause an inflation in Ombra. What with writing himself treasure after treasure

even worse they thought making up a character with no memories or backstory whose whole identity (what little there is of one anyways) is built on a lie wouldn't backfire. Like, Fenoglio, how can you realize how and why necromancy wont work and then think this would be a viable alternative??

it's actually so funny that meggie and fenoglio's plan A was necromancy. didn't even try assassination or like supporting violante first
