Ma and pa are Jack cousins. With jazz out of town for a summer seminar or something and the two planning to go to a ghost convention. Jack and Maddie decide to ship Danny over to meet them and be baby sat.
Danny. He for one is not a baby. Secondly the portal is actually going to be shut. So he’s not happy but will put up with it for two weeks.
Clark is all grown up, Conner is living with ma and pa.
Danny. Well he forgets to breathe a lot. Even when he does it’s not enough for a human. So Conner. He is concerned.
Then one day he brings over a friend. Definitely not one to check out the situation.
Neither Ellie or Danny were expecting to see one another.

I love your writing so much but I'm here with a crack idea just imagine deage Dan is Klarion.
Dan was able to find out who he is outside of Danny then he was able to change his name Klarion Jackson Fenton/Nightingale he is still a little villain boy also now a mom boy.
Ghost King Danny is his mom young justice was so confused when Klarion you're the best gifts get your mom after not talking to him for a while to also begging them to pretend to be his friend . Justice League dark is panicking in the background about the electric being that just shows up.
Danny in full ghost king attire standing there with a plate of cookies ready to meet his son's new friends.
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoy my writing!
Also thanks because I absolutely love this Idea/Prompt! Sooooo please enjoy this piece inspired by it! Also I haven't consumed a lot of DC material lately so i am basing this all on my memories. In other words.... I went with Tim's little team here.
Hope that's okay and that this won't disappoint.
-------------------
Dan, who was going by Klarion for some years now, had a massive problem. It was the huge kind of problem build on small bubbles of lies that then turned into this one giant bubble that was about to pop just because of one little question asked by his mom when his sister decided to throw him under the bus to deflect from herself and the fact that she was dating a demon. Don't get him wrong he still loves her, but man did he want to strangle Danielle right now.
"So Klarion, Ellie is right. When will I get to meet your friends you told me so much about?"
It was such an innocent question from his mom. And while his moms titles don't scare him, cause at some point in time they could have been his too, the happy dopey smile like nothing was wrong in the dimensions with little expectations directed at him was the scariest thing his mom could ever direct at him when he had asked THAT question.
So now Klarion was in need of a quick solution. When his mom had asked he had mumbled out a quick: "Next week maybe. We won't be busy with hero stuff then." He had started to form a plan. First of all, he needed to remember what all he had told his mom about his new and redeemed life on Earth 43 he had build for himself with the name Klarion Jackson Fenton-Nightingale.
Which fuck. There was a lot he had told his mom just so he wouldn't worry.
Cause now he also remembers that whenever he had gone out to cause some chaos he had made it seem to his mom like he was going out to bond with his new friend or help them with their hero duty. Well, in a way maybe his chaos causing could be seen as bonding. The ghostly kind, that is. And as for helping with the hero duty... he did give them work, something to do with their hero status. Anyway Klarion tried to remember all possible names he had dropped. Shit why did he also mention to his mom that he was working with heroes to make her proud? He should have name dropped some villains instead but nearly all of them were adults. He knew his mom would have frowned if he had only adult friends and no one around his age.
He was pacing his room in their castle. He need a plan, a good one at that. He knows he name dropped Robin, now Red Robin, Superboy and Impulse on a whim once. Superboy more so cause his mom had been interested in the Alien Heros of the Earth of the dimension he was partially living on now. He had mentioned Robin for the joke of knowing that there is a Dinner in an other Dimension with the same name. And because his Grandfather didn't like the Flash-clan which meant his mom didn't like them too much because of their messing with timelines either, he had mentioned being friends with Impulse on pure spite because of a punishment one day and to see their reactions. So he had to get these three on board anyway, and because for the heck of it he would get Wonder Girl involved too. It was never bad to have a girl in a friends group.
Klarion stopped his pacing. Turning towards his demonic ghost cat companion, kind of what Cujo was to his mom now. "Teekl, I think I have a plan. I will convince these Idiots, that shouldn't be a huge problem. Most of them are normale little flesh sacks." Teekl and him stared for some time at each other and after a moment Klarion huffed turning away with crossed arms. "It's a good plan don't be so sceptical, they are heroes right? They will not refuse my request!"
Well maybe Klarion should have planned this a bit better.
The next day Red Robin blinked at the witch boy up from the ground in the living room of what looked like to be an normal apartment. He had just been in Gotham, working on a case and now he was here? Looking to the left he also noticed that Superboy (the older), Impulse and Wonder Girl were also with him. They all looked stunned he observed and partially disoriented. Additionally they hadn't heard from Klarion since the last time they had foiled his plans on raging chaos upon the earth, that had been weeks ago.
"Kla-"
"I have summoned you heroes here. For the moment it is fruitless to try to leave because of the magic barrier." Okay rude to be cut of but that explained why he suddenly wasn't where he remembered to be last anymore. It was now Superboy who opened his mouth first but before he could even make a sound Klarion decided to speak over them again. "I have presents."
Four young heroes collectively blinked, confused, stunned and weirded out. As the which boy before them waved over to wards a table filled with boxes and packages. "I come in peace today, to proof that I brought these are presents, filled with various goods from different dimensions that should be to the liking of you all. Technologie, accessories, snacks, weapons, as well as clothing styles."
Red Robin shared a glance with his friends, a silent communication but before he once again could say anything Impulse was already by the table going through the stuff. They could here his 'oh's and 'ah's, which inevitably made them curious and they wandered over too. Klarion was not acting hostile at all yet but Red Robin did not trust that so he kept the which boy in clear view the entire time.
"Rob! You gotta see this! That actual futuristic Tech!"
"Look at these snacks."
"These accessories don't look to bad..."
His eye twitched when he noticed Klarion was sporting a smug look. Red Robin had to ask now, because this was not normal for the other. "Okay usually you would have started some big shot chaos plan by now. I don't buy this peace offering act and your way to formal talking. So what is going on?"
The other three, thankfully in Red Robins opinion, finally looked away from the tempting gifts and also turned their attention fully on Klarion. Who's smug smile falter as he let out a sigh and stared at them with what they could only describe as a frustrated look.
"My mom is planning to visit me."
"And?" Impulse asked between munching on three different bags of chips that where on the table.
"And he believes I am friends with you idiots."
They stared slack jawed. Impulse was pinching himself like he couldn't believe what they had just heard. Did one of their Villains, just informed them that their mom believes they were friends? Red Robin was starting to think he might be in a sleep deprived Hallucination.
"Why would she?" Wonder Girl questioned next to which Klarion glared at her with fire in his eyes.
"First of, my mom uses the pronouns he/Him. Be rude to my mom and I will find a way to make your life a permanent hell on earth." Wonder Girl blinked lifting her hands as in a sign of peace. "Second, my mom is under the believe that i work with heroes not against them. I do not have the heart to disappoint him after everything that happened in the past. So I embellished the truth a little."
"A little?" Superboy retorted sarcastically, to which they caught a light blush dusting the which boy's cheeks.
"Look my sister threw me under the bus and my mom wants to meet my friends now! So I need you idiots to play nice with me for when he visits!"
"And we will do that because?" Red Robin crossed his arms, watching their villain sceptically still not really buying this entire act. This was to strange of an behaviour change. Something was up, and he was going to get behind it.
Klarion on the other hand was starting to panic internally. His plan was not as he had hoped. The presents he had specifically gotten from other dimensions with what he believed was their interests did not work to make them simply accept his request. This was the last time he would listen to old man Vlad on how to bribe humans, he wasted his entire week on getting all that stuff. His mom was going to show up soon enough he need to have them act as his friends by then so he could remove the magic barrier. Or else his mom would notices he faked everything.
They left him no choice. He would have to throw his pride away for the sole reason to not disappoint his mom.
All four Young Justice Heroes blinked as Klarion suddenly threw himself on the ground before them into a pleading position.
"Please! I beg you, just for the time my mom is here. Please act like my friends!"
"I didn't think Klarion was a mama's boy...." Impulse whispered to the rest of them in pure disbelief as they stared stunned at the kneeling witch boy.
Cut to the heroes that noticed their teens were missing.....
"Where is he?" Batman growled at the Constantine who was sighing tiredly.
"Look mate, the way you and the other Spandex wearing friends explained it, made it sound like they got summoned by a being of the Infinit Realms." The blond man sighed lighting another cigarette eying the four heroes, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Flash. Zatanna was behind him pouring over a book about the realms and trying to find a tracking spell to trace it back and to where they could have been summoned.
"Don't you have something like a tracker on your boy?" Batman only growled something under his breath to which the Brite couldn't help to arch and eyebrow. Constantine was going to say something sarcasting as Deadman suddenly appeared a panicked look on him. "The Ghost King has chosen to come to our dimension."
"Say bloody what now?" All attention that had been on the heroes and their problem of missing teenage heroes turned now to Deadman and the news he brought with him. "The ghost, shades and spirits talked, for the king has decided to visit our Dimension. They are in an uproar, no one knows of why our King is on his way."
"Bloody fucking hell!" Constantine cursed. "We are fucking screwed! Isn't that guy a fucking tyrannical eldrich war maniac?!"
Deadman nodded solemnly and Constantine uttered another hearty and colourful 'fuck'. While the heroes present exchanged worried glances, not only were their kids missing but now a, by the sounds of it, highly dangerous being decided to appear in their dimension? Batman couldn't help but think that there had to be a connection to the missing teens and this.
Meanwhile in the Infinite Realms the Ghost King Castle...
Danny smoothed out his fur trimmed cape and adjusted his crown so it was floating nicely and evenly on his head. Today was the day he would get to meet his sons friends. He needed to make a good first impression. That was why he had chosen to take on his Ghost King form for this. With the wave of his hand he made an ice mirror appear before him, checking how he was looking once again. Once satisfied he nodded to himself looking over towards Fright Knight who was holding the plate of cookies he had baked himself. It was the fifth batch, and the only one that didn't turn out burned. He had needed Jazz help for this one to turn out well. It was only proper if he brought some cookies for the kids. Also he would have loved to bring his families fudge but... the last time he had tried making them had turned into a disaster.
"Thanks Frighty. Do you think Klarion's friends will like these? Wait don't answer! If they don't like them I will just get something else to thank them for taking care of my boy." Danny rambled on as he glanced at the plate of cookies in his hands. Why was he so nervous? He was just going to get to meet his little boy's friends. Sure his boy had dropped some stories about them and his adventures with them here and there. But hearing stories and meeting the kids were two different things.
Shaking his head Danny put on his best smile as he summoned a portal to Klarions apartment in the 43th Dimension of Earth. It was time to visit his boy in the place he had made his second home and thank the people that looked after his kid.

a horror i think about a lot is that taylor swift has historically absorbed her peers, contemporaries, and potential "competition" in the music industry into her friend "squad" group; sabrina carpenter, lana del ray, lorde, haim, ellie goulding, phoebe bridges - all of these artists cite taylor as an influence and inspiration and next minute they're on stage with her and all over her Instagram..........except for olivia rodrigo. olivia rodrigo had nothing but praise for taylor swift as her musical hero during Sour's release and then.... nothing. all we really know is Taylor's legal team went after olivia, a 17-year-old with her first album, and olivia hasn't breathed in ts's direction since. and you know, if we think about the artists ts has permitted to be her adoring minions and then look at olivia rodrigo....it becomes qWHITE obvious what the difference is!!! and it's not just that olivia is the first artist to come along in a long time who could run CIRCLES around ts. i fully believe that one day it will come out that taylor swift, a 30-something-year-old white billionaire, tried to sandbag olivia rodrigo, a teenager who admired and respected her, all because taylor couldn't stand a young woman of colour being a threat to her limelight. you know, because taylor is racist and immature with no integrity or depth as an artist. in case it's unclear.

Decided to continue this enjoy
Part 2 Ecto hits the fan
While Tim found the hornet nest that would cause the JL to be up in arms ready to attack the United States government . There was a town in the west of Huntington ky on the ohio side of the river in Amity Park. The young King was looking up at the night sky he was floating high enough that most Ecto weapons wont hit him and if any GIW had a jet packs he would hear them coming with enough time to get away.
He had just turned 16 today and Clockwork has finally told him that he was now the king of the infinite realm. Things were going to happen soon and fast the realms themselves were gearing for war. If things didn’t change soon. Then he, as the king, would have to lead them to battle.
Danny closed his eyes let the light of the stars shine over him. It was getting harder to keep both the humans and ghosts safe from the GIW. They didn’t care who they hurt Star and Wes were still in the hospital from when a stray shot from agent O nearly killed them. If Danny had been a second late they would’ve been crushed by the tree Agent O had shot down. As it was Wes had a broken arm and Star had broken 4 ribs while both of them had a concussion.
Last year his entire class had discovered his identity after an incident with Vlad. They had all started to help him because members of team Phantom. His parents had interrupted Boxy’s and Lunch Lady’s bonding ceremony and now admitted that ghosts were sentient and not all ghosts were evil. He finally told him that he was a halfa two months ago so things were going well at the home front at least.
While his personal life was getting better it didn’t change the fact that he was not ready to be a king and he didn’t want to go to war. Phantom opened his eyes looking at a satellite and wondering if it was the Famous watchtower. Most of the tower had tried to contact the JL many times his first year as a hero. They had thought that the first time was a prank call and by the next call the GIW had started to put up an informal barricade. No other calls had gotten through.
Tucker had hacked their system and found out that by the end of the first year. No information about the ghost were available to anyone outside of Amity and anyone who was in Amity was heavily edited to the rest of the world Amity Parker’s didn’t exist. Danny’s first thought was to fly up to the watchtower himself and tell them what was happening. Sam had stopped him while Amity wasn’t public knowledge the Anti-Ecto acts were publicly available. This either meant they knew and agreed with them or they didn’t know and we’re being kept in the dark. Now he couldn’t leave even if he wanted to it was too dangerous for his people for him not to be around.
His ghost senses went off and he sighed. His rouges had been getting better at not being destructive but The GIW were also out. He looked down to see Ellie running from the GIW. protective rage thrummed through his core
Not My Daughter
He took off like a shot his core screamed as he saw Ellie take a shot to the back. Ectoplasm seeping down her back as she was still trying to get away.
“Papa!” She cried out as she saw him coming.
Dani now called Ellie had finally stabilized and had created a parent- child bond with him. He could feel the echo of pain from that bond.
“Ellie” he cried out looking at the GIW he noticed the had a net. “Ellie look out” he pushed her out of the way the net wrapped around him and a high electric current went through the net. The last thing he saw before passing out was Wulf grabbing Ellie and taking her to safety

Writing prompt 89:
The Fentons learn of the chaos in the DC universe and decide to help bring peace to a particularly messy timeline.
Becoming new villains to the heroes. (CW approved)
Jazz replaces Harley in the Joker's eyes, only to betray his trust and put him in a box. Dropping her flawless act that fooled him. She throws him into a room of gas that makes him critically ill for life. Watching with cold eyes as he begs for her mercy.
Maddie acts interested in Luthur's wealth and her intelligence intrigues him greatly. Systematically destroying his business in very careful ways.
They new Young Justice team member in the form of Ellie/Dani granting her access to the League files which she lets Tucker at. Using the chaos to correct those who should have passed long ago.
Etc. Etc.
It becomes a race against time for the remaining members as the Fentons now set their sights on the universe at large.
Darkside never expected the heroes of Earth to contact him for help, but he won't let his plans be destroyed by some strangers. Grossly under estimating the powers they hold.

Fenton and Possible Family
Maddie Fenton and Ann Possible are very estranged sisters, so they barely talked before University, and after that, never again. While both meet Alicia, they always try to never meet each other or talk to each other. So while Maddie knew that Ann's daughter Kim was playing Hero, Ann had no idea about Maddie's children, that her son was a hero, or even knew about Ellie's exist.
Middletown
Kim just told her friends that the Phantom would come to the town to meet her father, talk about rocket science, and protect him for the U.N. for her new project. As if she couldn't protect her own father. Kim, look how happy Ron, Rufus, and even Monique seem to be. Kim:" Ron, we too are heroes; you don't have to be excited." Ron:" You don't understand it, while we are heroes. Phantom is like Team Go, Super heroes that fight massive monsters and similiar!" Rufus nodded his head at that. Showing a fighting move he saw on the TV Phantom doing. Monique:" And have you not seen his body? He is a pretty good-looking hero." As she showed Kim her wallpaper, like Tara and Bonnie, she too had the Hero as phone wallpaper. Yeah, Kim knows about it but doesn't get the hype. James seems to love talking to his bodyguard; the young man seems smart enough to understand and give his opinions on rocket science. And he one-shot Drakken (Drew) and Shego as they tried to kidnap him again. + At the Possible House, Danny was confused about how similar Ann looks to his mother. And that day, Ann learned her Nephew was a superhero, as he told them his full name "Danny Fenton" at the dinner. Ann called later her sister Alicia. Who told her she thought Ann knew about it? It's not like Maddie hides it; she just never talks about it, as she thinks everyone knows about it in the family! Kind of like Ellie. Ann didn't even know she had two nieces, she just knew about Ellie... Maybe they are too much estranged they are sisters after all. Alicia:" Yes you are! I told you that for years. I mean even Maddie knows about your family, but you don't. She won't visit as long you don't want to see her. And maybe you will help with the Vlad problem... " Ann:" Vlad? Is he someone she meet later?" Alicia:"When you meet you will get what I mean. Just being around him, you get it. "

DP x DC AU.
Danny Phantom has been the King of the Infinite Realms, a halfa, and hero for thousands of years now. He, by all accounts, is considered a god or Eldrich abomination (or both), which means his power levels are par to few/none. Under his reign, his planet Earth found massive peace (religious wars were stopped simply by asking people there, pre-meditated murder went out the window when the risk of them coming back as a ghost was very real, and Fenton Technologies compounded with Ghost Zone technologies had completely changed the course of human evolution).
Danny learned how to rule and does so well. He does it so well that the afterlife basically runs itself now. Sure, disputes still happen, fights still break out, but they're small affairs compared to how things used to be. As the King of the Zone, his mere presence has healed much of the cracks and fissures that had occurred under Pariah, and, even in a place where death and life mix as well as his own DNA mixes with Ectoplasm, where one minute there's a sudden influx of the dead just as a new species is born from the mythos of old, it's quite a content place to be. With the dimension's growth, so, too, has Danny, now looking like a man in his thirties, lean and strong but comforting all the same (he can never quite die due to his halfa status, but he stopped aging normally around the time he turned thirty-three - he now can appear however old or young he feels, and, after his family passed, he reverted back to his younger man days, which he felt was when things seemed to settle around him).
But, well... Danny is bored as hell.
Now, he's been looking to stretch his legs in the land of the living again. He's been a Zone Body for nearly 2500 years now, only making trips to his own dimension when called upon for input and to sit in on galactic meetings, but, even then, he's got tons of people who can stand in for him. Danielle, appearing as a late-twenties, early-thirties woman usually going by Ellie or El these days, is considered the Princess of the Realms and leads up exploration teams on different dimensions that have either pinched off from the realms, forming fully-living or fully-dead places, and better charting the healing process and anything they need to step in personally (while considered the 'land of the dead,' the Infinite Realms is more akin to a purgatory, connecting, well, infinite dimensions where life and death exist more exclusively, acting as a bridge, a binding agent, between time and space).
Danny decides to appoint his top advisors (largely still Sam, Tucker, and Jazz, who have become ghosts and, as royal appointees, have access to all afterlifes and free pass to go and come as they please, as well as some trusted long-time allies like Clockwork and Pandora) to keep eyes on everything for him while he takes a 'short scouting mission' with Danielle (i.e. maybe take a break).
Ellie and Danny head off to the next dimension on the list, and, as soon as they hit the ground running, it's immediately clear that this one is filled with issues.
While the general rule is that they don't meddle in dimensional affairs, this dimension, right off the bat, REEKS of stale Ectoplasm. Like it's been broken off and re-attached incorrectly to the Infinite Realms, and thus the normal flow of ectoplasm has stalled. This can cause a lot of complications, especially for people who come into contact with said ectoplasm. It's also a dimension of heroes and villains, which immediately kicks Danny's protective instincts into high gear.
Ellie manages to keep them on track... until they find out about a clone who's been treated horribly by both of his 'parents' even though he's done nothing wrong.
Then... yeah. She doesn't mind staying a little longer.
So yeah, they may be meddling, but this dimension needs help! They swear!
(The Justice League doesn't know what's about to hit them when two new, absolute power houses come on scene, one instantly going out of their way to adopt Young Justice, but mostly Superboy, while the other starts spearheading global unification in the most convoluted of ways. Well, except Constantine, who takes one look at the two heroes, INSTANTLY recognizes them, and nopes the fuck out. He's heard stories of the Ghost King and Ghost Princess, and, while pillars of goodness and justice, they are also known to be absolute hellions, and he's dealt with actual hell creatures).

"So Maria Renard is a young and feisty vampire hunter who can communicate with animals and have them help her fight evil! She's really esager to prove her worth! In SOTN she's a young adult who's matured a lot yet she still remains cheerful and optimistic, unwilling to give up on Richter's soul!"
NFCV: ...so she's a strong leader for the French Revolution, got it. It's girl boss time!
Oh you want me to talk about the new preview of Nocturne?
Because boy do I have. Words about it! :D
First of all, the obvious: where is RoB's story? Where is Dracula kidnapping young maidens? What is Erzsebet Báthory doing here, she's the one who in the games causes WWI! Are they going to explain how Dracula has a niece, or is it just a name for the sake of a name?
But yeah, this has nothing to do with either RoB or SoTN. This is just... political commentary for the sake of political commentary. Because we all loved the insistent "CHURCH BAD" from NFCV, right? Seems like kicking out Ellis changed jack shit :D
"the atmospheric backdrop of the French Revolution" ah yes, bloodshed and guillotines, so mystique~
"Richter, the tough young hero who’s continuing the family tradition of vampire hunting" what tradition? Trevor barely killed a vampire in the original show :'D
"Maria, a natural leader who’s fighting inequality in her country, and also a magic user battling the vampire elite" bro. bro she's 12. Why do I fear that she's going to become an expy of Diane from Bojack.
"Annette, who used her power and wits to escape vampire-enforced enslavement in the Caribbean, and now wields magic to stop the impending apocalyptic threat" ohhhhh boy. So first of all, yes, this confirms that the black girl seen in the leaks is indeed Annette. Seems we have another Isaac case on our hands! Now they're free to write her as shittily as they want her to, and fans will immediately jump to accuse you of being anti-blackwashing :'D
Aso, what's with black characters and being former slaves? (or non-white characters in general, if we count the Japanese not-twins) You really can't think of anything else for a black character? They have to be slaves. Okay.
But that's not the issue. The issue is that they gave her magic powers too. Why? Maria already fills that role. Is she going to be Sypha 2.0? Are we already girlbossifying all the women? Why can't she be a normal yet brave woman?
Edouard and Tera prove that we're going to get plenty of OCs from the start.
"Olrox, who killed Richter’s mother years ago and now must decide whether he can stomach teaming up with his sworn enemy in order to stop vampiric world domination" what the fuck. what is this.
"Erzsebet Báthory, aka the one foretold. She’s the queen of vampires, and, if all goes as planned, of the entire world." carmilla. she's carmilla. i swear if a single radfem speech comes out of her mouth...
"In the thick of the French Revolution, members of the so-called lower classes are rising up to fight inequality: “It’s the natural order for them to milk us dry with impossible rents and unpayable taxes,” Maria (Davies), a young leader, laments." yep! So faithful to the spirit of Castlevania! I love that part in RoB where you have to fight Louis XVI <3
"Richter joins forces with Maria and an unlikely crew of characters whose toughened exteriors bely their various tragic backstories." hopefully they'll be treated with more respect than Trevor's :)
"Their last-ditch battle to save humanity becomes fraught with existential questions as each vampire hunter is forced to confront their own troubled (and deeply human) traumatic past." not to be all "play the games", but Richter feeling crushed by his family legacy is way more gripping than a generic "mom died :(". We gonna mention that, Nocturne? Surely, Richter's appeal as a character is why you immediately jumped to RoB/SoTN, right?
"Is Castlevania: Nocturne based on a video game?
Yes, and then some"
Tumblr media
YOU FUCKING LIAR.
anyway this already sounds absolutely awful, it has nothing to do with the games, it's going to be so pretentious, maria you deserved better my girl.
Oh, as a bonus...
"As the peasant class rises up against the aristocracy, an even darker threat emerges: a cabal of powerful vampires intent on taking over the world and blotting out the sun forever."
"vampire-enforced enslavement"
So, a vampire cabal is behind a slave trade...
This is what happens when NFCV is falsely accused of being woke without anyone pointing out how deeply offensive it actually is.

R, T, W
R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?
I definitely have a soft spot for Johnny and Peter. I really enjoy them as "friends who had benefits, but then they decided to just be friends" I think they're in a unique position to really understand each other both. They're both young men who were giving tremendous power and responsibility without expecting it, and are now dealing with the ramifications of that power. I feel like their hero experience is a lot different (solo vs. team, financed vs. self-employed) but ultimately they're two egotistical little assholes with problems. I love their banter and squabbles and underlying loyalty and genuine affection.
T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 
I don't really have headcanons on principal but recently I realized that Wade not allowing Ellie within 2000 feet of Peter and threatening violence if Peter even thinks about interacting with her is not actually canon. I just believe that it is truth and write it in everything.
W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.
I hate so many tropes, but my least favorite has to be that thing where one of them is a mermaid. I just. I hate mermaid AUs so much.

Sorry but I have returned with a part 3 of Klarion is Dan
So Danny is still having you know conversations with the entire RedRobin Young Justice team
When Tim sneaks away to go talk to the Justice League outside he's holding a few kryptonite cookies in his pockets then starts explaining to the Main Justice League on how yeah Klarion bought our trust with gifts so we can pretend to be his friend so he could make his mom happy Klarion's Mom he's is the nice creepy person I have ever meet so can y'all just got to play along
Clues the main Justice League playing along with Klarion being their sidekicks friend after a while Danny finds a way to pull up his scrapbook too also Danny and Clark have started speaking country to each other it's hilarious amazing
Batman in the end like a party pooper reveal that is Klarion is one of the enemy of the Young Justice it makes Young Justice along with Klarion sad for two different reasons for the Young Justice because Klarion's mom is really cool and Klarion cuz he feels like he is disappointing his mom
Danny after a while had a feeling that Klarion made friends like himself back when he was a teenager
A bit late but I finally had the time to write this down, without work stress or a migraine / headache torturing my brain! Hope i didn't make you wait to long! Either way I love this, sooo lets go! Part 3! Here we come!
Also thanks so much for the ask! This was inspiring since I have been struggling with writing the past weeks.
---------------
Danny was really enjoying his time an conversations with the children. He liked them, even if one of them was a speedster. And he could see that they were good for Dan, now Klarion. Danny had always been worried about his time clone / son. Klarion had no longer been as connected to Sam and Tucker as Danny was. Sure Jazz, Ellie and him, as well as Vlad had been there for him. But Danny knew himself and through that he also knew Dan in a way only Vlad could understand. They had been worried. But when Dan got deaged and choose to go by Klarion Danny's worries had become lighter. Especially when Klarion started to tell stories from the Dimension he had chosen to live in when he wasn't at home. One that was unlike their own home dimension but still similar enough so he wouldn't have troubles adjusting.
Danny smiled like any proud mother would as he watched the four heroes interact with his son. He could see it, Klarion had recreated friendships for himself outside of who he used to be in a different timeline. That alone lifted so many of Danny's worries for the boy. A chuckle escaped him as he once again watched Klarion snatch a green glowing cookie from Red Robin, glaring daggers before he jumped across the table in an attempt to tackle Impulse who was now also reaching for the green cookies. The speedster as expected easily dodged him.
He knew something was going on. Klarion has created a barrier right as Impulse had returned earlier from his 'bathroom break' and he could feel presence outside of his son's front door. One of them feeling funnily similar to one of many the soul contracts that had been laying on his desk for months now, ignored on purpose. But Danny choose to ignore it for the moment. If the kids were up to something than he was the least adult to stop them. So instead he when he saw his boy so distracted, Danny smiled towards Wonder Girl, reaching into a quickly opened portal next to him. "So about the picture you wanted to see earlier."
Danny smiled mischievously like any parent would at a chance to embarrass their child. But also noticing how Red Robin used the chance of Klarion chasing after Impulse and the Kryptonite Cookies in his hands to stuff a couple of the green cookies into his own pockets as well as one into his mouth. Danny suppressed a laugh, as he kept conversation with Wonder Girl flowing.
Superboy was right by Red Robins side as the boy pounded his fist against his own chest in surprise, but also refused to spit the cookie out. Once he swallowed the kid stuck out his tongue a look of wonder. "Have you ever tasted something that felt like sugar coated in love and care sprinkled with calming emotions but had a weird but not bad after taste of sewer water?! I will never be able to look at the Lazarus Pits the same anymore!" the caped teenage hero whined towards his Kryptonian friend and Danny couldn't help it any longer as he burst out laughing.
"That's a Description I have never heard before! Sam likes to say their taste like actual Rainbow puke and Tucker is still trying to convince me that they taste like he was dared to lick a motherboard but one was coated in the finest meats!" Klarion instantly froze in his chase after Impulse and pointed glaring at Red Robin as both Wonder Girl and Impulse now appeared very tempted to actually try the Kryptonite cookies too. "You didn't!"
"I did." Red Robin grinned fearless, the way Tucker used to when he had hacked into the GIWs servers when they were kids.
"DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?!" Red Robin yelped as Klarion jumped at him over the couch table to wrestle with the other boy as if to make him spit out any green glowing cookie reminds that could be there. "You mortals are idiots!"
Danny blinked and laughed as a little Chaos (Ha! His sons favorite past time) broke out with Wonder Girl, Superboy and Impulse trying to help Red Robin against Klarion only for them to get pulled into the little wrestling match too. With Klarion occupied with the other three as well as trying to stop Impulse from also shoving a green glowing cookie into his mouth he noticed from the corner of his eyes how Red Robin snuck away.
Batman looked ready to strangle John Constantine as he glared at the Justice League Dark member currently working on removing the barrier. This was taking to long in his opinion. Their kids were in there with a highly dangerous being and one of their enemies. This wasn't a situation to take lightly. He growled and Superman patted his shoulder trying to calm him down.
"We will get in there Batman. Just calm down for now. I am sure they are doing all they can to remove the barrier." The Kryptonian said in a calming tone sharing a look with Wonder Woman and the Flash, who by now had rounded the apartment three times to see if there was a possible entry way not covered by a barrier. Batman only grunted again as the door to the appartement suddenly opened, their heads snapped instantly towards it to see Red Robin standing behind the barrier.
"Red Robin Report!" Batman instantly snapped marching forward but frowned as the barrier was blocking him from reaching the teen.
"Klarion's mother is a multidimensional being under the impression that Klarion is working with the Heroes in this impression and not against them. He is also known as the Ghost King ruler of the Infinite Reams. I am sure you are already updated on what the Infinite Realms are." The teen stated in a reporting tone the adult heroes were familiar with. "So far The Ghost King has not shown any hostility towards us or our dimension unprompted. He is rather nice and a good parent by all means. To not disappoint his mother Klarion abducted us so we could pretend to be his friends, in other words Klarion is in need of our help to keep his mother under the belief that he is working and friends with us."
Batman nodded, letting the information sink in. "Anything else?"
"Well, I would suggest to not become hostile ourselves and to play along for the time being." Red Robin offered his solution hoping that with his report their mentors were more willing to play along than with the way Impulse probably slammed the door in their faces. For one, they would get to have a longer time of a break and two, as long as they don't piss off Klarions mom they won't have to face an eldritch being probably ready to tear them appear to protect his child.
"You believe that to be the best course of action? What about the others?" Superman asked instead and the teens head turned a little to look at the Kryptonian. "We are all in agreement. We are also additionally in a position with this to fish for more information about Klarion."
He could see their mentors thinking as they were exchanging looks weighing the pros and cons of his suggestion.
"Constantine? You said that the Ghost King is a dangerous being that could destroy our dimension, correct?" Wonder Woman spoke up turning towards the magician.
"A Bloody fucking Tyrann that can rip us all a new one, mate." the Brite muttered annoyed with the situation.
"Then I guess keeping the Ghost King happy by humouring Klarion should be the best and most peaceful option we have at the moment." Flash added crossing his arms as he looked at the other JL members as they came to a silent agreement.
Hocked, Lined and Sinker. Red Robin thought for a brief moment with relief as the adults agreed to his suggestion. "That means no using spells behind our backs against the Ghost King too." The teen hero added though as he narrowed his eyes under his mask on John Constantine that was cursing under his breath but nodded.
"Great then I can tell Klarion-"
"Red Robin what are you doing out here?" Batman stiffened as white gloved hands rested on the teen hero's shoulders and they saw a white haired man, wearing a royal cape and a floating crown on his head, appearing by the door behind the teen.
"Oh I was just greeting our mentors, they came to check on us." Red Robin lied easily, not even flinching as the man had appeared out of seemingly nowhere. Batman had narrowed his eyes as he exchanged looks with Superman. They hadn't even noticed the man's approach.
"I see, please come in instead of standing out here." John Constantin gabbed as with the flick of his finger the man removed the magic barrier as if it was nothing and they heard a loud whine from inside the apartment of. "MOM IT FEELS WEIRD WHEN YOU DO THAT!"
"Sorry Klarion, baby!"
At that moment the adults realized that the man before them was the Ghost King.
The man lead them inside introducing himself as Danny as he guided Red Robin by his shoulders back to the couch to join the other teens again. The adult heroes where greeted by the image of Wonder Girl sitting on Impulse who was monopolising a photo book and Klarion being lifted into the air lion king style by Superboy flailing around. The teens and mentors blinked at each other several times before the teens continued like they weren't there, Red Robin joining them wanting in on getting to see the photo book that apparently contained 'baby' photos of Klarion.
"How about we leave the kids to themselves and have some coffee and cake by the dinner table?" The Ghost King, Danny, suggested and the adults mutely followed. They blinked as Danny opened a portal, Batman grunted as seeing similarities to something else in it, and reached into it. Danny heard his sisters distinctive "HEY!" Through it when he pulled out a cake from it to place on the table. The heroes couldn't help but sweat dropped, the cake was clearly not finished, it was only half way coated in cream and decorated.
"It's nice to meet the mentors of the friends my boy made in this dimension." Danny started to make small talk serving them coffee and each of them a slice of cake. "It's also nice to finally meet the guy that has sold his soul into so many pieces that I have an entire stack of paper work on my desk."
Constantine flinched, as he refused to make eye contact with the Ghost King who only chuckled. "Relax, I don't care about all these contracts. Most of them were even made before I took over as the King and the previous Ghost King... well lets just say he slept through all of his paperwork."
"Wait previous King?" The magician looked up now. "Mate are you telling me you aren't the bloody fucking Tyrann Ghost King?"
They watched as Danny rubbed his neck embarrassed. "Oh looks like the news didn't get to your Dimension yet, yea I dethroned that guy on accident and took over once I became an adult. Pops did say that it might take some time for all Dimensions to get updated on these kinda news..."
The four heroes looked stunned as they heard the Brite groan loudly thumping his head against the table muttering a "I need a whiskey."
"Oh its also nice to sort of meet my... Cousin or Niece from this Dimension whatever you would prefer more." Danny said to change the subject, looking towards Wonder Woman who blinked at him. "Cousin or Niece?"
"Yes I was Ghost Adopted by Clockwork, also known as Cronus, and Pandora. They speak a lot of praises about you, well every version of you." Danny smiled. There was an awkward moment of silence that Flash broke looking stunned at Wonder Woman. "You never told us you were related to the literal King of all Dimensions!"
"I didn't know!" / "Not all Dimensions."
Both Wonder Woman and Danny spoke at the same time. This finally seemed to break the eyes among the adults as most of them started to chat idly while the teens were fighting over a photo book in the back ground. Well all but one Batman sat among them listening to the other Heroes talk with the Ghost King, grunting every now and then to signal that he was listening. His eye twitch a little as both Superman and Danny suddenly started to talk in a weirdly with niceties filled way of talking.
Of course everything good and nice couldn't last forever and when a triumphant shout in the background from Red Robin resounded who was holding up the photo book with Klarion pinned to the ground by Impulse and Superboy, Batman had to be the one to finally put his foot in his mouth causing everyone to freeze. The bite of cake Superman was about to eat dropped back onto the plate and resounded like a pin needle dropping by the silence caused by one simple, in Batman's mind, question.
"As his mother, are you aware of your son's villainous actions against us heroes?"
A dramatic "No!" Resounded from the teens mostly caused by Impulse dramatically falling to his knees in a pleading motion towards the adults. Klarion on the other hand looked like his entire world was just shattered as he sat up on the ground from his previously pinned position, his eyes glued to his mother. Both Wonder Woman and Superman eyes looked to and fro between Batman and the Ghost King with worry while Flash, apparently decided to get himself another slice of cake as quick as possible before the Ghost King would inevitably kick them all out because of Batman.
Danny stared at the dark knight for a long moment not reacting until he let out a sigh. "Figured as much."
There was another kind of silence, a stunned one, as they all blinked at the Ghost King who was starting to chuckle a little at the faces they were making.
"Mom?"
"Oh please Klarion." Danny waved his son off. "We both know that neither you nor I ever made friends the normal way. Of course you would make friends by being a little shit, just like I did with all my rogues when I was a teen and are now part of the council. It was unavaidable for you to do the same. Ancients even Vlad made friends like this or did you forget how many times he tried to kill my dad, Jack?"
There was silence for a third time, this time it got broken my Wonder Girl bumping her shoulder into Klarions.
"What kind of crazy family do you have?!"
"You have no idea.... you haven't even met my older sister yet...."

SUMMARY
Henry chimes confidently, “Well, I'm betting that y'all came up here to get a view of the city and plan a way out. And when the sun's up, we'll show you one.”
Ellie wordlessly glanced at Joel, but he’s staring back at Javier instead. Two pairs of dark brown orbs dancing in suspicion. Javier breaks eye contact first. He stands up, staggers a little as he leaves the room.
“Whatever your answer is, you’ll say yes anyway.”
SERIES MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
“Javier, please. Save who you can save.”
Palms sweating, numb fingers wrapped with racked anxiety as Javier tried to lower his Beretta. But his arms were locked in place, forced to point at a blank spot between his best friend’s piercing blue eyes. Javier could not bring himself to back up an inch, as a sticky crimson liquid pooled near their feet started touching the tip of his shoes. A lifeless body crumpled on the floor, unruly golden hair covering her face. Javier didn’t even want to glance at it.
“Steve, we can… I don’t think-”
“You know what the fuck these things are. And how the damage will eat up my body soon, just like Connie,” Steve hissed, his grip on Javier tightened even more, forcing him to raise the weapon again. He took a glimpse at the corpse, “End it now and go find the light. I’d see you soon.”
Steve’s fingers closing around his. Everything moved in slow blur.
Getting used to waking up from an unpleasant throwback in darkness is much less of a hassle these days, but Javier still finds that his fight-or-flight response keeps nagging him at times. He sits up carefully, wincing as his half-swollen right ankle screams in pain again. Javier groans. There is an unusual chilly air tickling his skin, accompanied by the ticking of his watch under the pillow, moving in a repetitive rhythm. Glancing at the empty blankets beside him–
“Shit. Henry?”
Flashes of the worst possibilities Javier always feared come to his mind.
Javier musters his energy to shake off the sleepiness out of him. Quickly he gathers his weapon and flashlight, running as fast as his limp leg allows.
Tumblr media
After years pleading to any deities he thought existed in the world, this crumbled universe has started sending Javier surprises he doesn’t need anymore. Absentmindedly reaching into his back pocket, Javier mutters an unintelligible curse. Damn, how could he forget that he ran out of the last cigarette stocks yesterday?
Javier slides on the floor, staring at the two outsiders–one of whom bears an uncanny resemblance of his own face. He feels burnt out, and now Javier doesn’t even try to hide the exhaustion. The other person, a young girl, is eyeing him with a mix of amusement and caution before looking back at her companion. Father and daughter? Oh, what a sweet bonding time.
“Sam, how many times do I have to tell you that if your brother is trying to do something possibly dangerous, wake me up immediately,” Javier signs to the boy. Sam shrugs a little, continuing to munch his food but then he nudges Henry, who purposely avoids Javier’s gaze.
“Dude you still tryin' to play hero? You can’t even walk properly!” Henry protests.
“It’s temporary, and besides, I can't guarantee the safety of your actions when unsupervised by me. You’re lucky these people weren’t harming you.” Javier turned to the strangers, “I’m Javier. These are Henry, and Sam. He is eight.”
The teenager answered first, “Cool. I’m Ellie.”
She slaps the older man’s knee, causing Javier to almost snort at that gesture.
“I'm Joel. Look, you ate, we didn't kill each other,  let's call this a win-win and move on.”
If they encountered each other during the period of time where Javier fought and traveled for himself after going through too many losses, Joel would have been right. People without significant purposes of teaming up were better that way, or so Javier thought. However, as Javier struggles to keep Henry and Sam alive and escape this hellish city, Joel and Ellie’s presence becomes a star-crossed miracle. Especially with his recent careless slip ups, all Javier got were a sprained ankle and bleeding leg. One silver bullet found its way to his thigh, which definitely freaked Henry out because they all tried to perform the surgery with only a small amount of knowledge. Javier’s acts definitely planted extra hatred in their ultimate pursuer.
The prime days were over. He is nothing but a grumpy mustached guy now.
“Well, I'm betting that y'all came up here to get a view of the city and plan a way out. And when the sun's up, we’ll show you one. How’s that sound?” Henry offers.
“Um…” Ellie looks at Joel, but he’s staring back at Javier instead. Two pairs of dark brown orbs danced in suspicion. “I think we-”
“Whatever your answer is, you’ll say yes anyway.”  Javier abruptly stands up, excusing himself.
He staggers a little as he leaves the room.
Tumblr media
“Welcome to Killa City.”
Through his yellow-tinted aviator sunglasses, Javier just realized how small Henry is in comparison to him, Joel, and the large windows in this building. But one thing Javier has always been proud of about Henry is his unwavering bravery from the first time they met, even when Henry silently told him how Joel's "asshole voice" creeped him out yesterday. Javier smiled a bit at his comment. Why should Henry feel that way when Joel is basically a copy of him?
It was a silly question to which Henry replied comically, “Jav, he ain’t on your level of suaveness.”
Thanks to the better lighting this morning, Javier can finally see more details of Joel’s face as Henry does most of the talking. There are curls, salt-and-pepper beards, rugged days carved in wrinkles, and probably a bunch of repressed motives under a guarded gaze. What a familiar callback to a reflection in Javier’s own dirty, cracked mirror. Intriguing.
“No FEDRA,” said Joel.
“Not as of 10 days ago, no,” Henry hums.
“We always heard KC FEDRA was…”
“Monsters? You are right,” Javier interjects, “Raped and tortured and murdered people for 20 years.”
Henry continues, “And you know what happens when you do that to people? The moment they get a chance, they do it right back to you.”
“But you're not FEDRA.” Joel raises his eyebrows, something doesn’t seem clicking with the way these two strangers do their function inside the city.
They both share a look before Javier slowly shakes his head, “No. Me and Henry, we’re collaborators-”
“I don't work with rats.”
“Yeah, you fսcking do! Today you do 'cause we live here and you don't. We know this city, and that's how we’re gonna help you get out,” Henry spits out, though his trembling voice doesn’t indicate an ounce of certainty in it.
Joel doesn’t look convinced at all. "Why? You have your cool friend."
“We saw what you did, the way you killed those men. And what a coincidence, I failed a flee attempt, was shot, and broke an ankle” Javier shrugs, ignoring the mocking tone. “Generally fucked up. More reasons we need strong backup.” 
Ellie and Sam’s laughter suddenly rings out, turning their heads at the same time. The two kids are engrossed in some kind of cheap joke book compilation. Javier’s softening gaze towards them doesn’t go unnoticed by Joel.
“Haven't heard that in a long time.”
Henry simply nods at his friend’s comment.
 Meanwhile, Joel sighs. This is getting nowhere if none of them make a decision. Despite everything, he has his own mission to go, and technically Joel is not obliged to keep them company after getting out of Kansas. Besides, it's always easy to remove unwanted danger along the way.
 “So Javier, how are we gettin' out?
The first time his name finally rolls off Joel's mouth, it carries a bitter sarcasm.

When she wasn't hiding somewhere studying, when she wasn't in her many classes, she was practising quidditch until her limbs throbbed or she was injured, until she had no strength left and was sent to the infirmary.

ginevra molly weasley had been born under the spotlight, the first weasley-born witch after generations of wizards, perhaps she should have known that being born at the height of a war, with her uncles prewett murdered by a direct command from dolohov, one of Voldemort's death eaters, meant a bad omen, that life would be marked by loss, sorrow and regret, that there would be longing, fear and punishment, that there would be no morning of glory, this was war and there was no fairness in it. but ginny was just a child chasing her older brothers around the burrow, on the outskirts of ottery st catchpole, hiding to watch them play quidditch only for her, at the age of six, to start breaking into their shed and grabbing some brooms to practise the sport, never to be caught at it. being the youngest in a family with six older siblings, she had been looking forward to attending hogwarts all her life. perhaps if she had known what she had learnt at the time, she would have stayed away, but even if she had regrets, she couldn't turn away from the happiness that had wrecked her own foolish heart at having met everyone she had met. had become known, even as a child, for her sharp tongue and mastery of a second language, sarcasm. even though there were too many expectations about her and who she was supposed to be, ginevra was vibrant, a rainbow of shades never seen before, with big, curious eyes, an absurd addiction to butterbeer and liquorice wands. and, although she came from a poor family, she always had everything she wanted, being easily pleased with little walks, worn-out books and stories told by her father or her older brother, bill.

Tim Drakes sleep habits save the earth
Part 5 Lady Gotham and Princess Dora
While Fright Knight was bringing Chaos to Oa the Bat clan was in its apocalypse is coming mode. Bruce was in the cave poring over everything Tim had sent him. The fact that he was in the cave wasn’t the strange thing it was the time. Bruce had several important meetings today but the were all canceled he had every lawyer he had and anyone who they knew looking on how to change the anti-ecto acts.
Several of his lawyers were leaving the country as well as there families. They noticed that the wording of the law half of Gotham and other cities with heroes the law could be applied to them. Bruce was seriously thinking of having his entire clan evacuated from America until they were overturned.
For once Lucius Fox was not on his case about canceling the meetings for bat reasons. He was having Luke look into anything that his military contacts could find to help them. Clark had stopped by to get as much information that he could get from them as Lois and Clark were going to alert the public about the acts in a way that won’t cause panic.
”Master Bruce the children will be here in about 15 minutes.”
”How did we miss this? We have entire teams teams looking for laws like this all over the world.”
”we area human Master Bruce we are not perfect nor are we omnipresent. We can try our best and if it is not enough try and fix it.”
The cave turned green as a portal opened. There was a blond green skinned woman in a medieval ballgown. She was followed by a woman she was thin with dark hair gray skin and partially see through she looked like a movie star from the 20’ with a floor length cocktail dress of dark red.
The dark hair woman smiled flashing fangs “my Dark Knight.” She said in a raspy purr.
The blonde girl gave a slight bow. “Hello Knight of Gotham I am Princess Dora of the Dragon kingdom. Lady Gotham speaks highly of you. I wish that we were meeting with better circumstances. Clockwork the ghost of time has told us that your Justice League has just found out about the Anti-Ecto act. We need your help and the help of your clan.”
Bruce looked at the woman and red and deep in his bones he knew her. She was Lady Gotham the shadows of the city the he protected and she protected him. The soul certainty that they would not hurt them. “How can we help you your majesty.”
“Our young King was captured by the GIW he sacrificed himself to save high Princess Ellie Phantom. Fright Knight and Pandora are telling the Green Lanterns what is happening so they can be ready to help when they return to earth we do not want to go to war but your government has struck many blows against us we are to the point that we will not be able to ignore them much longer.” Said Gotham her voice turning rasper the more she talked.
”Would you like some tea with some honey Lady Gotham” asked Alfred.
“That would be lovely”
“Let us retire to the parlor while Princesses Dora and Master Bruce work on how we’re going to save King Phantom.” Alfred offers his arm to Lady Gotham.
Bruce noticed that Gothams cheeks turned a darker gray. As Gotham took his hand and they left the cave.
Dora giggled as the door closed. “If we didn’t have a rescue mission to plan I would want to see what they were up to.”
Bruce blinked in surprise. “Why?”
“ I have known Lady Gotham for most of my afterlife. And in the last 20 years she has spoken more about Alfred than anyone else. If he becomes a Ghost she would start to court him as soon as his Core formed. The fact that she use english to speak to both of you is telling enough. Lady Gotham is not well she has not been for a long time she has trouble speaking mortal languages and being visible in the living realm. The fact that she was able to do this much is thanks to you and your clan’s support.”
It was nice to see that Gotham was healing now it was time to save a king and save the world.

DC Essay ; #1
The Rights and Wrongs of Villains
An Essay by @myarmhurtsdude on Tumblr
Do you know what makes a villain a true villain? Have you ever looked at the actions of a fictional villain and instantly classify them as horrible people? There are many villains that could be considered irredeemable because when we are young we are taught the difference between right and wrong. We take something we see a character do and we ultimately decide whether that character is good or bad and we display them in one of three categories. They could be a hero; a character who does the right thing in the right ways such as Batman. The hero of Gotham City who fights the ‘villains’ and brings them to justice. Or a character could be an anti hero; a character who does the right thing in the wrong ways as Harley Quinn does. In Harley Quinn we see Harley save Gotham City after destroying it, which we then decide Harley is an anti hero. The final tier for characters is a villain; a character who does the wrong thing in the wrong ways. A famous DC villain is Joker. The psychopathic clown who kills anyone for his own fun. Because of this, we always classify these characters into their respective categories. However, what if they weren’t? In this essay I will dig into the actions of three DC villains. CW’s 2018 Titans TV series Jason Todd/Red Hood, FOX’s 2014 Gotham TV series Edward Nygma/Riddler, and Todd Phillip’s 2019 Joker character.
The first character we will discuss is Jason Todd. 
Not much is mentioned of Jason’s backstory in Titans but as we know that as Bruce Wayne’s other children, he was adopted by the billionaire. Jason first appears in episode 5 of season 1. The episode is titled ‘Together’. When he appears the Titans are already formed consisting of Koriand’r, Garfield Logan. Rachel Roth, and Jason’s adoptive brother Richard ‘Dick’ Grayson. Jason was said to have been in the Wayne Manor by himself prior to his first appearance. We know that Jason is not yet an adult and will have his childish moments which is to expect as other two members of the Titans are both children. Rachel is 13 years and Garfield is 15 years old. The first few interactions we see with Jason and Dick have the two either arguing or throwing jabs at one another. It is worth mentioning that Jason and Dick haven’t had many interactions prior to the show’s timeline as Dick had left the manor with resentment towards Bruce. A common theme between Wayne’s children is that they have worked alone or with Wayne himself. Jason is used to working alone therefore being thrown into a team with strangers isn’t very ideal. On top of the strangers, Jason is stuck with the brother he hasn’t seen and who has a grudge against him. Rachel struggles with her own powers and causes harm to Jason more than once. In season 2 episode 7 an unknown person had been mocking the Titans, Hank Hall aka Hawk and Dawn Granger aka Dove had received a bottle of bourbon and a picture of Ellis, respectively. Donna Troy had been given an orange soda bottle which was a nod to a friend who had passed away and Rachel had crosses drawn onto her windows and mirrors because of the ‘demon inside her’. Because Jason hadn’t received anything, the first thought was to blame him. While he tries to defend himself, the team proceeds to push down on him even more. The nail in the coffin is when Dick, his own brother, shows more care and more leniency with Rachel and Garfield. Despite not having any connection to them. In addition to this, Jason had been shown more hatred than he was care or even acceptance. Therefore after his death and resurrection, Jason had decided to go against the titans and take up a new identity as Red Hood and kill Titans member Hank Hall in front of Nightwing and Dove, Hank’s girlfriend Dawn.
The second character on the list is Edward Nygma,
Edward is first shown in the pilot episode, introduced as a forensic science technician in the Gotham City Police Department. In Edward’s first scene he talks to Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock. Based on the interaction with Edward and Harvey we can assume they’ve known each other since way before the show began. Edward holds an evidence bag containing the bullet that was in Thomas Wayne’s chest, the conversation ends with a riddle, in which he receives a response from Harvey saying, “You need professional help, Nygma. Seriously”. It is mentioned that Edward often speaks with riddles and that it’s his way of making a situation lighter which often annoys his co-workers. Edward shows feelings for another staff member Kristen Kringle. Note that many workers in the GCPD do not like Edward, including Kristen. Edward’s first kill is Tom Dougherty. This kill separates Edward from other characters in Gotham such as Jerome Valeska and Oswald Cobblepot. Jerome’s first kill was his mother. Whom he killed for fun. Oswald kills Fish Mooney, his boss. While his motive for killing Fish changes a few times. It is mentioned that he killed her out of spite and envy. The reason this separates Edward from the others is because Edward killed Tom because he had been abusing Kristen. While it can be argued that Edward killed him so that he could have Kristen to himself but Edward had specified Tom had to die because he was hurting Kristen It was previously mentioned that Edward doesn’t have the proper communication skills and doesn’t communicate as others in the show doesn’t. Edward’s tipping point had been when he accidentally killed Kristen. After revealing he had killed Tom, Kristen tried to run away before Edward could give his explanation for it. In an attempt to get her to listen, he held her. His hand had held her just above her chest, near her neck. Unknowingly choking her. After Kristen had died, he had begun to spiral downwards. Getting involved with The Penguin aka Oswald Cobblepot. Edward killed officer Pinkney and framed Jim Gordon for it, needing to keep them from investigating Kristen’s death further. What makes this situation worth mentioning is the scene where Edward gets caught. Jim tells him that he was his friend in which Edward says, “Were you, Jim? Were you my friend? Or did you just pity me? Oh, poor, weird little Ed.. with his silly wordplay and his little riddles.” Furthermore showing how affected Edward had been from not only the actions of people at the GCPD, but also the feeling of loneliness and self hatred. Edward saw his actions as right, despite how everyone else had seen them.
Finally we have Jaoquin Phoenix Joker.
This version of Joker is vastly different from previous versions we’ve seen on screen. Joker takes you on a more dark route. We see Gotham through the eyes of Arthur Fleck, a failed comedian and while it does explain the current state of Gotham, it takes a different take on the Wayne family, more specifically Thomas Wayne who is the father of Bruce Wayne also known as The Batman. In the beginning of the movie we are introduced to Arthur who works as a clown advertising a closing store. A group of teenagers approach him and steal the sign he had been spinning. Arthur chases them down before he is attacked by them. It is shown that while he chases the teens down, bystanders ignore the situation and keep on walking by with their day to day lives. After that situation Arthur is given a gun by his co-worker Randall. The gun falls out of Arthur’s pocket while he is dancing at the children’s hospital. This causes Arthur to be fired from his job after nobody believes him stating that he received the gun from Randall. Randall denies these claims as well. While Arthur takes the subway home he takes the life of 3 wealthy men who worked for Wayne enterprises after they harassed a woman on the subway and beat Arthur. Thomas Wayne talks about the three men dying on television, showing sadness by their deaths. Arthur takes three more lives in the movie, his mother Penny Fleck after discovering she had lied to him his whole life and that she had allowed her boyfriend to physically abuse Arthur as a child which contributed to his mental health. His co-worker Randall after he had gone to Arthur’s apartment to ask him for help for an alibi, and Murray Franklin a television host who he killed on TV. Murray had invited Arthur to his show to mock him live. Before Arthur killed Murray he gave a monologue, explaining his reasons. However the monologue describes the flawed thought process of people in Gotham. He states “If it was me dying on the sidewalk you’d walk right over me. I pass you everyday and you don’t notice me. But these guys– what? Because Thomas Wayne cried about them on TV?” It does refer to the beginning of the movie on how Arthur was clearly distressed but ignored by other people in Gotham. They only cared about the three men because Thomas Wayne did. 
Overall, it may be said that these characters are villains and bad people and while they are, the common shown theme with these characters is the ‘good guys’. While they are seen as horrible monsters, they all have their differences in morals and what’s good or what’s bad. Jason betrayed the Titans because he felt he needed to get revenge, Edward killed Tom because he had abused Kristen and he felt killing him was right, Arthur killed “bad people” like Murray, who spends his time mocking more unfortunate people. But the question still stands, do you know what makes a villain a true villain?
