Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
I like the idea of Danny being even shorter than that. A Danny whose just SO tiny that most people clock him as being either very weak, which doesn’t help with his ghost-bird bones, or being very adorable due to tinniness.
Regardless, he’s been viewed as an innocent figure. In reality though, he is absolutely “violence is always the option” type of short guy. Like he embodies the stereotype of being so short that he has privileges in hell energy.
That type of short guy.
So just imagine this tiny little creature-teenager-child staring up and up at this person, neck craned back just to look them in the face. Danny is frowning at them, this insufferable person whose immediate reaction was to patronize him because Danny was deceptively tiny.
And Danny just goes, “You shall never know peace again,” before picking them up like they weigh nothing but a handful of grapes and YEETS THEM.
February 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's The Valentino Rossi Files: Everything I've ever written about VR: From 2008 to now):
During the winter the nine-time champ spent more time than usual thrashing round his dirt track ranch, keeping himself mentally and physically sharp and getting used to a motorcycle moving around beneath him. He knows that Marc Marquez’s ability to ride on the ragged edge with a more muscular, more sideways style is changing MotoGP, so he needs to change with it.
Rossi may never look as spectacular as Marquez on a dirt bike or a MotoGP bike, but both his former and current crew chiefs believe he can do better than he did last year, when Marquez made him look rather second rate.
Rossi on inviting Marquez to the ranch:
"Yeah, for sure, a lot of time. But I think that Emilio [Alzamora, Marquez's manager] is not very happy that Marc come because he said that after we make a race and maybe it's dangerous." (x)
A Sideways Glance at Misano 2014, including pre-event karting on Wednesday night where Marquez reportedly struggled:
Misano 2014 (text from Mat Oxley's Valentino Rossi: All His Races):
^ Márquez won the first ten races of 2014 and this was the first time all year he was beaten in a straight duel. He couldn't handle Rossi's pace at Misano, so he ended up losing the front and falling.
Valentino was fast throughout practice and secured his first front-row start of 2014. [Rossi was asked after qualifying about the threat posed by Marquez and Lorenzo, identifying Lorenzo as the favourite before adding, "But you never know with Marc. He's a bastard."] In the race he rode better than in years, hanging his upper body inside the motorcycle more than ever before to increase turning.
He snatched the lead from Lorenzo and then fended off Márquez, who struggled to find enough grip to match Vale. At one-third distance the world champion pushed it too far and slid off, so Vale cruised home 1.6 second ahead of Lorenzo. His crew had done a great job of creating maximum grip via adjustment to chassis balance and electronics set-up.
His 107th GP victory showed he was once again as fast as anyone, because when he won at Assen 2013 he didn't have to beat Márquez, Lorenzo or Pedrosa, who were all injured.
"It's fantastic to come back to victory again," he beamed after his first win with [new crew chief Silvano] Galbusera. "I knew we could fight and I pushed from the start. I always work hard and never give up and trust that days like this can happen."
^ The breakthrough win at Misano. For the first time since his return to Yamaha he had gone head-to-head with Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Márquez and beaten them both. From this moment another world title was a possibility.

Aragon 2014 press conference:
Rossi: Revenge at the ranch! No, first of all, we enjoy a lot, because have a lot of riders and also from superbike and a lot of bike on the track and was a good day, yeah. Marc was very fast, already fast like me at the first time, as always, and I think he did the best lap time but I won the race so is 1-1, so is... come si dice, pareggio pareggio [tied].
Marquez: Yeah, yeah, was really nice, you know, I was really [impressed] to see his circuit, his home, because in the future I would like to have, because was impressive and riding there was all the riders was really nice and... like Valentino says, we were there fighting together like in Misano race more or less, but yeah... the important thing is that we enjoy it and was really nice to ride there with him and also with the other riders.
michael “you could say the only time i’m truly happy is when i’m destroying other people’s lives” kaiser gets a foul taste of his own medicine when you go ahead and ruin his life by saying you’re not interested in him.
Danny is very familiar with dimension-hopping, and his favorite to visit is the DC universe. It seems he needs to practice his timing, however, because all his new friends there never seem to remember their adventures together. Maybe he should try overshooting the timestream a little?
or
Danny likes visiting the DC universe but is unaware he's visiting a different version of that universe each time. All his adventures with the heroes and villains aren't shared experiences with every counterpart in the multiverse. So to Danny, he's met the Batfam and Supers dozens of times and knows their identities. To them, a slightly eldritch teenage boy who knows more than he should just appears out of the blue one day, talks to them like they're old pals, and is never seen again once his "vacation" is over.
extra:
A few of the multiverses collide by accident, and the heroes get to meet their counterparts that did go on those wacky adventures with Danny. Bonus points if the collision point lands them all in the Ghost Zone.
Wyll's Avernus/Duke epilogues when he's romanced are so, sooo tender in different ways?? This man. This man. He describes himself as greedy and terrible for wanting you by his side in the Hells, but asks anyway (YEESSS for Wyll ASKING FOR WHAT HE WANTS, I love to see it). And then as Grand Duke... he's so excited to build a future with you, to take part in the wedding of the century and build that kingdom he envisioned: Baldur's Gate resplendent once more, the two of you at the helm. Neither of you wanting for anything ever again.
This dialogue is so romantic I'm fucking dying.
◇
Wyll: You've made me a new man.
[A moment passes, Wyll's eyes glance up to his horns.]
Wyll: There's something I need to ask you. Something terrible, something greedy, something unreasonable. I'm the Blade of Avernus. I swore to cleanse the Hells of the devils that threaten the Coast.
Wyll: I want you to join me. Warriors, lovers, guardians. Two champions as one. A reasonable person would say 'no'. I still want you to say 'yes'.
Player: Of course I'll join you. I thought you'd never ask.
Wyll: (softly) I knew you'd say 'yes'.
◇
Wyll: I'm a new man -
[A moment passes, Wyll's eyes glance up to his horns.]
Wyll: - and in more ways than one. When Mizora drained my warlock powers, it was as if a blizzard froze me through. Then you reignited my fires. When I'm with you, I want for nothing. If only last night could've lasted forever. But if I'm to be a Grand Duke, I've got to greet the people and earn their trust.
Wyll: First, we mourn. We bow our heads for the fallen and honor them by pledging peace. Next, we heal the city. We restore our broken city, stone by stone. We restore faith in each other, one good turn at a time. After that, well - it's up to us to decide. Any ideas?
Player: A grand wedding is in order. I want to show off my groom to the city.
Wyll: And a magnificent ball, I presume, for dancing the night away. You, dressed to the nines. Me, in the finest uniform I can convince Father to lend me. How could I ever refuse you? What a joy! This life we're about to make, this story we're about to write - every chapter more thrilling than the last. I hope we never have to turn to the final page.
Something very funny (and maybe interpretatively more tragic) about the fact that in Re4r knives are repeatedly made out to be superior to guns in close combat with Leon and Ada and then Leon and Krauser, but Luis saved Leon's life by shooting at Krauser with a gun.
"if we make america worse and more of a dictatorship that will be even harder to unravel and make it the way we want the country to be, maybe then everyone will join our Glorious Revolution!" bb girl you cant even be in the same room with someone who thinks you should vote, how in tf do you think you're gonna unite people to fight in The Revolution with you? it's gonna be you and your 5 friends, i hate to break it to you.
Post-totk Wild joining (or rejoining) the chain and eventually they have a water balloon fight but instead of throwing actual water balloons they all throw splash fruit that Wild had collected.
Despite not having joined the fight at first, Time is the one who ends up winning it.
