#he smells a mystery

[nerdpoe]

Danny's found a way to dodge GIW trackers, as well as his parents. Their equipment hunts ghosts, ghosts run on emotion; so as long as he keeps his under a tight lid and doesn't feel anything ever, they won't be able to track him.

It works!

He's able to run from them, and goes as far as New Jersey. The plan was to stow away on a ship, and go to literally any country that wasn't America. He goes to Gotham, which hosts the one harbor he knows where no one will ask any questions.

But because of how weird he acted (completely emotionless during a Joker attack), he was fingered by police immediately.

He's handed over to CPP. CPP doesn't know what to do with a teen literally so traumatized that they don't show any emotion at all, ever. He keeps just...walking out of his placements. Just leaves without a sound.

Luckily, he's always caught, due to those placement houses having quiet alarms and him refusing to run.

They call the one foster parent they know who does.

Bruce Wayne takes in the strange, nameless kid who refuses to talk.

On paper, they gave him the filler name of 'John Doe', for lack of anything better to do.

Bruce does everything he can to make the newest arrival feel at home. Damian, for as territorial as he is, actually breaks out of his shell sooner than expected just to try to get the new kid to speak. To emote. To do something. Duke tries the open approach, then tries the 'no one will ever know, everyone thinks I'm an innocent goody-two-shoes' approach. Nada.

Tim even tries to trick him into talking, but nothing works.

Enter Dick; Dick heard about Bruce's new ward, about the situation, and decided to see if he could get the kid to open up.

Danny though. Danny's in trouble.

The Wayne Manor is weirdly secure, and he can't just walk away like he did his other placements. He can't use ghost powers or the GIW and his parents will immediately know where he is.

He really, really wants to take Bruce up on his offer and just spend the day relaxing. Respond to Damian's attempts to provoke him. Overshare about space facts with Tim.

But most of all, he really, desperately wants to get in a Pun Competition with Dick. He wants to laugh at Dick's jokes, and learn coolass gymnastic tricks!

But he can't!

If he relaxes with Bruce, he'll be content, which is an emotion. If he argues with Damian, he'll get annoyed, which is an emotion. If he sneaks out with Duke and breaks the rules, he'll get happy, which, again, emotion. If he overshares with Tim, he'll get excited, which is, yet again, an emotion!

The worst sin of all, he can't even show proper appreciation of the food the Butler keeps making him!

And now there's even more people coming over!

There's a quiet girl who keeps reading his body language and trying to get him to dance ballet, a blonde girl who keeps trying to kidnap him to take him to BatBurger, a guy with a stripe of white who wants to take him to a shooting range, and it just...he really, really wants to!

He wants to do all these cool things with them!

But he fucking can't!

#dpxdc #dcxdp #dp x dc #dc x dp #phanfic #story prompt #danny vibes with dick the most #not that anyone knows that #breaks his little ghost heart that he can't have that pun competition #meanwhile bruce absolutely is running facial recognition #and hitting government firewalls and keeps having to shake off digital tracers #trying to find out who wanted that information #he smells a mystery #and he wants those answer #if cannot get them from their resident Doe #then he'll get it from whoever tortured the boy into silence #sidenote Damian just called Danny Doe instead of John #and danny responded to it quicker because it started with a “D” #that was noticed #now everyone just calls him Doe until his name is found

Hercule Poirot vs. the countryside

Look at it, Hastings. Not a building in sight. Not a restaurant, not a theatre, not an art gallery. A wasteland. AGATHA CHRISTIE'S POIROT (1989-2013)

Yeah with everything that you’ve shared with us through the years, I’m having a very difficult time believing this rumor that Daniel rpk made on twitter

I’m so glad to see that I’m not the only one who’s thinking along these lines…

I’m thinking that an actor is secure and the SCU crew is trying—very hard—to keep it secret. I don’t think that when there’s only 10 months left of a movie being released they wouldn’t have an actor chosen already. This doesn’t sound right to me. I feel that they’re keeping this a bigger secret than what we’re thinking.

Like I’ve said; I’ll continue digging around on my end before we assume anything. I smell BS.

(Rumor in mention)

#sonic movie #sonic movie 3 #movie!shadow #mystery anon #off topic #I said back in January that Daniel is 50/50. He got some things wrong with Sonic 2 back in 2021. I smell BS

ok so I don't get to say the word "vampire" till chapter five but chapter three ideally the reader is going "wait is it vampires?" and chapter four is "oh yeah this is absolutely vampires"

#chapter three its established quinn has a friend (alex) with an exceptionally keen sense of smell and who can't go out till its dark #n chapter four has nat struggling with mystery pains #sunlight sensitivity heightened senses and murderos urges #n he can smell People and People smell Really Fucking Good n he keeps thinkin abt how hungry he is #and how good people smell lmao #like. it's Vampires #you know its vampires

Red Dragon is even sillier than I thought.

Hannibal killed someone to resemble a medical diagram and Will went in his office because Hannibal gave off weird vibes and in the middle of their conversation, Will happened to notice a bunch of books on medicine that would include the exact medical diagram Hannibal based his kill on.

This is what Will claims made him realize Hannibal was the Ripper.

Will then said something (he doesn’t remember what, so I’m assuming he said “Just remembered, I have to make a call, brb”) to which Hannibal Lecter, who was FULLY AWARE that Will knew he was the Ripper (Hannibal in Red Dragon is a telepath, don’t ask questions), allowed Will to leave his office and call the fucking police on a payphone (which I’m assuming took at least a fucking second because it’s a goddamn payphone) before being like “oh shit, right, I don’t want to be caught” and stabbing Will.

I don’t know, I just can’t get over this backstory. They’ve known each other for like fifteen minutes, maybe. Will has ADHD. Hannibal is just like “yeah, I’ll give him enough time to tell someone I’m a murderer.” Hannibal doesn’t kill Will. He is a surgeon and a murderer with quite a bit if experience at this point, I think if he wanted Will dead, Will would be dead, but instead, Hannibal just stabs him in the gut and leaves him to it.

I want to know Hannibal’s motivations in this. What was he thinking? Was he thinking? Is his side of this story like, “I’m talking to this twitchy little guy who Crawford pulled out of school (Will was in training) to catch the Ripper and we’re having a lovely talk and- oh, hey, this twitchy little guy just realized that I’m the Ripper. He wants to phone the police? Yeah, okay, I’m cool with that.”? What was going on?

(I’m tempted to believe that Hannibal let himself be caught because “you know what would really fuck with this guy? If I went to prison for my crimes.”)

Or, maybe, the fact that Will says he heard an inhale before he was stabbed implies that Hannibal was going to kill Will, but realized that he didn’t want to? Maybe he wanted to eat Will? Maybe he wanted to figure out what was wrong with Will before he killed him (coughmarajadestylecoughcough)? Maybe he actually tried to kill Will and is like “oh shit, mission failed, he’s a fucking live”?

I wish we had a story that specifically went over this one scene and I wish that Harris went into excruciatingn detail about what he was thinking when he wrote it. What was the intent?

Also, upon meeting again, Hannibal mentions Will’s aftershave. “The same atrocious aftershave you wore in court.” He specifies “in court.” I feel like this implies Will wasn’t wearing it when they met in Hannibal’s offie. Which makes sense. Will is just going there because Hannibal gives off a weird vibe, why would he shave and clean himself up? Which leads to my question, why did Lecter smell Will as he was stabbing him? Maybe Hannibal likes the smell of blood? Maybe he likes the smell to go from unstabbed to stabbed?

I don’t fucking know and I probably never will and it keeps me up at night

[ridiasfangirlings]

i refuse to believe yata smells bad kusanagi would probably give him cologne or something at least😭 right???????

I mean I would hope so but you never know XD Maybe this is one of those things where you become so used to your own smell that you don’t even realize you stink, like Yata spends so much time outside being active that when he walks into the bar he has no idea that he actually smells really sweaty and gross. Kusanagi usually tries to subtly spray some air freshener but doesn’t say anything, he probably has like one of those plug-in air fresheners to give the bar a good scent anyway with all the rowdy guys he gets in there. Though if Yata’s going anywhere afterward Kusanagi tries to help him out a little, like Yata’s meeting his mom and siblings for a birthday party indoors and Kusanagi just slides him a little bottle all why don’t you use this first. Yata’s really confused as to why Kusanagi is giving him cologne, Kusanagi just says it’s good to smell nice for ladies. Yata’s like these are elementary schoolers Kusanagi-san and Kusanagi says Yata’s mom might like the smell. Yata shrugs all that’s weird but okay I guess, Kusanagi figures Yata’s mom will appreciate that he didn’t let her son go visit her while stinking like sweat. 

#Yata Misaki #Talking K #does he smell or does he not #a mystery for the ages XD #I'm sorry Yata I'm sure you smell fine sweetie #he has official perfume right that smells okay I bet #(I'm allergic so I've never bought the K scents...)

(Movie Robotnik transformation anon) well then i imagine the name would be Master Eggman/Robotnik, because not only he is powered by the master emerald (green lighting and all) but also because it's above what deemed average or inferior in his mind.

Aww! Dude! That’s so bad ass I love it!

From this day forward, I will call this the Unofficial-Official name of Eggy’s super form!

#He smells the electricity in your brainssssssssss #sonic movie #sonic movie 2 #mystery anon #off topic #Love it!❤️✨

My dog has never been in a kitchen.

Description under the cut:

Image:

A rather poorly made comic of a dog outside of a door.

Panel one shows a dog in front of a door. text: "Sometimes my best friend goes into the FORBIDDEN room"

Panel two shows the dog sitting in front of the door, whining. text: "Sometimes, the forbidden room smells great. I want to go in."

Panel three shows the dog laying on the floor, scratching at the door. text: "Sometimes it smells awful and I worry for my best friend"

Panel four Shows the dog sitting to the right of the door. text": Sometimes it's strangely quiet"

Panel five shows the dog scratching on the door with music notes above it's head, indicating howling. text: "Sometimes he's in there for Hours, sometimes even with friends."

Panel six shows the door ajar. text: "Sometimes I catch glimpses."

Panel seven shows a very poorly drawn 'dog' with sparkly eyes: no text.

Panel eight shows a kitchen through the open door. text: "Of what must be Heaven"

#dog #poor dog #a strange world #my dog has never been inside a kitchen #I'm sure he knows exactly what's going on in there #but it amuses me to think he has no idea and he thinks I'm going into a mysterious room #only to come out smelling either wonderful or awful from the food I've eaten #comic #look I'm not a great artist #and the last time I drew a dog I was in sixth grade #almost two decades ago #art #my questionable art #this is 'art'

I remembered one

Lord Prestor (which is the name I will use for Neltharion's non-dragon shenanigans) is totally the type that could covertly manage to have my insert stumble and fall into his big strong arms, like, how could I possibly NOT fall in love with him then?

#the worst part is he's right #my stupid doe-eyed insert just thinks he's the most handsome mysterious considerate man on Azeroth #wow he's really warm and smells nice and- #SHUT UP WARCRAFT II!ADRI #the gift of ruin
